Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jada tries calling Talia but she doesn’t answer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Xander questions why the poster would suddenly fall. Chloe blames Xander for not hanging it right. Xander argues that it was perfectly secure but then another picture falls off the wall. Chloe jokes about the irony but Xander says he’s not finding it funny and he’s starting to think the place might be haunted.

Brady tells John and Marlena that he can’t think of someone worse than Xander for Chloe to end up with. Marlena argues that it doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for him but Brady says it doesn’t mean she won’t either since not long ago, she couldn’t stand to look at Xander and now suddenly she is moving in with him. Brady adds that he can’t say Chloe is too smart to fall for him since Sarah did too. Brady remarks that Xander is not only a loser, but he’s dangerous too. John remembers Xander shooting Brady and Marlena. Brady doesn’t think Xander should get a pass just because they survived and points out that not everyone was as lucky.

Chloe questions Xander thinking the place is haunted or believing in ghosts. Xander says he’s from Scotland which he calls haunted as well. Chloe asks who he thinks is haunting him. Xander worries that it’s Susan Banks.

Megan tells Kristen to enjoy her night and continues on with the mail. Kristen continues reading the letter as Rachel says she would give more details but Brady changed the subject and they all started talking about Bo Brady instead. Megan then rushes back and asks what about Bo. Kristen thought she wasn’t interested but Megan demands to know what she said about Bo. Kristen reads that Rachel said everyone is upset because Hope had broken through to Bo and right when it looked like he was going to be his old self, Shawn shot him. Megan begins to panic.

Dimitri tells Harris that some people pray to the Lord to get what they want, but he hasn’t had much luck in that regard so he prefers to always be prepared. Dimitri informs Harris that he’s not the only one being persecuted by the powers to be, so he is not seeking one but two immunity grants, and warns that if he does not get them, his second hostage will soon have an appointment at the pearly gates.

Roman brings Kate back to their hotel room and says everyone was glad to see her. Kate jokes that Maggie might have been disappointed but Roman assures Maggie would never wish harm on anyone. Kate jokes about sleeping in a room that doesn’t smell like fish or make her sea sick. Roman acknowledges that she’s been to Hell and back, so she has a lot of pampering ahead of her and he’s not sure where to start. Roman suggests a bubble bath or a spa treatment. Kate says that Dimitri wanted to wine and dine her so he let her take a break and eat. Roman jokes that he’s running out of ideas if she doesn’t need to eat or the spa. Kate responds that she does have something important to ask of him. Kate then asks Roman to put her ring back on her finger.

Chloe asks Xander if he’s joking or if he actually thinks Susan Banks is haunting him. Xander reveals that he’s been expecting it for a while since he was responsible for Susan’s death. Chloe relates to feeling responsible for someone losing their life and never getting over it. Xander says she should get over it since El Fideo was a monster but Susan was sweet and died a horrible death that’s on him. Chloe says she’s not defending what he did but says at some point he has to move on with his life and learn from it. Xander says he’s been trying so hard to learn from his mistakes and not repeat them, but somehow, trouble always seems to find him or he finds it. Xander says he gets desperate for money and an opportunity arises, then he’s deep in something illegal that spirals out of control until something very bad happens like Susan Banks’ fiery death in the car crash. Chloe reminds him that Ava Vitali was behind the wheel. Xander complains that Susan wouldn’t have been in the car if he hadn’t kidnapped her or been weak and given in to Ava’s money. Xander adds that Susan would still be alive and he’d still be married to Sarah. Xander decides maybe the apartment isn’t haunted, but he is.

Marlena tells Brady that she would never condone Xander’s actions but points out that he wasn’t responsible for Susan’s death as it was Ava that drove her off the cliff. Brady argues that Xander started the whole series of events by kidnapping Susan in the first place. Brady calls that just the latest in his long list of crimes, bringing up how Xander switched Rachel at birth and complains that he never takes responsibility for these things. John remarks that Xander has that in common with his uncle Victor. Brady says he keeps thinking about Chloe being under the same roof as Xander and worries about when his next scheme is going to be and how he’s going to drag Chloe in to it. Brady complains that it’s all Xander does and declares that he belongs in prison.

Megan cries that this is an evil twist of fate as she’s in prison and asks how Bo is. Kristen informs her that Bo is in a coma and tries to encourage that it’s good news. Kristen talks about how she’s recovered from comas. Megan talks about everything she went through to save Bo and keeping him alive for all those years. Megan breaks down crying as Kristen tries to tell her it’s okay. Megan cries that Bo would have loved her again and she was so close. Kristen points out that all they have is a second hand account from a child eavesdropping and the mail takes forever, so maybe Bo is alright now. Megan argues that Bo is the whole reason that she came up with a plan to get herself out of here in the first place. Kristen asks if she means get them out then asks where they stand.

Harris tells Dimitri that he’s had enough of the games and questions who he’s trying to help with this co-immunity deal. Dimitri questions Harris not figuring it out after all the clues and says he certainly knows her well. Dimitri reveals that it’s Megan Hathaway.

Brady apologizes to Marlena and John for interrupting their romantic moment and then putting all his baggage on them. John assures they are always here to listen. Brady says he’s done and he’s going to think about the good things he has in his life. Brady says they are at the top of his list. Marlena says they love him. Brady thanks them for always being there for him. They say goodnight as Brady heads to his room. John tells Marlena that when it comes to love, Brady has had nothing but bad luck. Marlena hopes that Kristen doesn’t find out that Chloe is out of the picture or else she’ll break out of jail and be right back in Brady’s orbit.

Megan complains that the love of her life is in a coma and Kristen can only think about herself. Kristen points out that Megan is the one who brought up her mystery plan. Megan says it’s not a mystery to her. Kristen asks what the plan is then, reminding her that she kept up her end of not telling anyone about Bo. Megan asks who cares since she ended up blabbing it herself to Andrew Donovan anyway. Kristen shouts that’s not her problem and complains that Megan promised her freedom. Megan assures that she will have it as her plan is very much in the works and they simply needed to get things organized and sorted out. Kristen questions who is getting things organized and sorted out. Kristen demands to know right now who she has on the outside. Megan asks why that matters. Kristen says she needs to know that it’s real. Megan reveals that it’s Dimitri Von Leuschner. Kristen recalls him as the guy who tried to blow up the world with the Alamanian Peacock.

Dimitri reminds Harris that he was doing Megan’s bidding while Harris argues that he was brainwashed. Dimitri calls that a convenient excuse for killing people in pursuit of the prisms. Harris says he’s ashamed of what he did. Dimitri brings up Harris hesitating when he had Hope in his crosshairs or if true love reared it’s head. Harris calls that a sore subject. Dimitri remarks that Harris has terrible taste in women. Harris states that Megan is in prison and that’s where she is staying. Dimitri asks if he’s so sure about that. Dimitri warns that he might not have Kate to get what he wants, but he still has another ace up his sleeve.

Roman questions Kate taking her rings off. Kate explains that she was desperate and made a deal with one of Dimitri’s henchmen to give her rings for a phone call to Roman, but the call didn’t go through. Kate adds that when Chad and the others rescued her, she was not leaving the boat without her rings. Roman is surprised she carried the rings around the whole time. Kate says she was going to put them back on but she stopped because Roman put them on first, so she wanted him to do it again for the last time. Roman says it would be his honor. Roman puts the rings on her finger and kisses her.

Chloe brings Xander tea and hopes it will help him get back to sleep. Xander thanks her and apologizes if he freaked her out earlier. Xander decides Chloe was right that he just didn’t hang the pictures right and he nor the apartment are being haunted by the ghost of Susan Banks. Chloe is glad he’s calmed down but she’s sorry that he’s so tortured by what happened to Susan. Xander thanks her and hopes she doesn’t regret sharing the place with him. Chloe jokes that she can relate to him. They get close but Chloe says they shouldn’t make a habit of ending up like this in the middle of the night together. They each say they need to get to their beds but they end up leaning in close.

Kate tells Roman that she has a suggestion of what they can do in the hotel room as she then kisses him.

John and Marlena kiss until John’s phone rings with a call from his son Paul. John wonders why he’s calling so late as he answers the call.

Kristen tells Megan that she met Dimitri once in Amsterdam and he was under another name while fooling Billie. Megan brings up Kristen losing a sapphire necklace and tells her that Dimitri told her everything. Kristen questions what exactly her connection is to Dimitri. Kristen asks if Dimitri filled in when Megan couldn’t get Bo to love her. Megan remarks that she has no idea what she’s talking about and calls her so judgmental. Megan then reveals that Dimitri is Kristen’s nephew!

Harris tells Dimitri that he’s going to need a whole deck of aces if he wants immunity for he and Megan and that still might not be enough. Harris brings up Dimitri threatening the world in Zurick and calls it a deranged plan. Harris adds that Megan is the only person that he knows that’s more deranged than he is, so the ISA will never let either of them walk out. Dimitri assures that the ISA won’t stand in his way as they will insist that he is granted his freedom.

Chloe and Xander almost kiss but back away. Chloe hopes the tea helped and Xander thanks her for that. Xander apologizes for the nonsense about the pictures falling. They tell each other to have a good night and they head to their rooms.

Roman and Kate lay in bed together. Roman comments that he assumed he would never see her rings again as he assumed they were in the urn with her ashes. Kate asks what he did with the urn of ashes. Roman explains that he had it on the end of the bar at the Pub because it made him feel close to her. Kate compares it to Anna DiMera. Roman says he wasn’t carrying it all around town. Kate asks if he was talking to the ashes. Roman says the weird part is, Kate talked to him too and says he heard her voice, asking him to help her. Roman asks if she thinks he’s crazy. Kate admits it sounds weird, but it seems somewhat familiar as if she was reaching out to him while Megan had them on the deep freeze. Kate wonders if that’s possible. Roman says he will never deny their connection and all that matters is that she’s here in his arms for real. Kate says it doesn’t seem real and seems like a dream. Roman says if it is a dream, he never wants to wake up as they continue kissing.

Harris tells Dimitri to keep dreaming and questions why the ISA would want him to be free. Dimitri says because Shane Donovan runs the organization and assures that Shane will be very eager to give him what he wants. Dimitri declares that Shane will personally see to it that he and Megan are both set free.

Kristen doesn’t understand calling Dimitri her nephew. Megan then reveals that Dimitri is her son.

John thanks Paul for calling and says he’s on top of it and will keep him posted as they hang up. Marlena asks what’s going on as he sounds worried. John informs her that Paul wants him to reach out to Shane because Andrew Donovan is missing and apparently no one has heard from him for quite some time…

Harris questions why the hell Shane Donovan would give Dimitri what he wants. Dimitri responds that he won’t have a choice if he ever wants to see his offspring again. Harris then realizes that Dimitri’s mystery hostage is Shane’s son, Andrew.

Andrew is tied up and blindfolded somewhere in a dark room.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

After Maggie fires Alex over the phone, Alex asks for a chance to explain but she hangs up on him. Alex informs Stephanie that Maggie told him there was nothing more to talk about and reveals that she fired him which shocks her.

Kayla and Belle eat together at the Brady Pub. They talk about Seth Burns trying to fire Kayla while she was held captive. Kayla feels he was disappointed that she wasn’t dead after all. Belle mentions not hearing from Steve yet. Kayla assures that she won’t hear from Steve until he and Chad find Kate.

The guard on the ship holds his gun on Steve and warns that the penalty for boarding the ship without permission is death.

Harris searches the ship with his gun raised but is caught by one of the guards, who pulls his gun and warns that Harris is going to end up hanging on the wall.

Kate asks if Dimitri doesn’t want immunity for his crimes. Dimitri assures that he does but he also wants something else and he needs everything in place in order for him to achieve his goal. Kate hopes he’s not going after the Peacock again. Dimitri says no and what he’s after is much more personal. Chad then bursts in with his gun raised on Dimitri, surprising Kate. Chad says thank God she’s alright. Kate tries to run to Chad but Dimitri grabs her and holds her at gunpoint. Dimitri warns Chad that this is premature because he and Kate are on a date and Chad’s not invited. Chad tells Dimitri that he’s not going anywhere. Dimitri doesn’t think Chad thought this through and questions how Chad’s going to shoot him without shooting Kate, remarking that he doesn’t think Chad is that good of a shot. Dimitri calls Chad another one of Stefano’s bastard children, commenting that he has Stefano’s arrogance but not his cunning. Dimitri states that Chad overplayed his hand by bursting in with his pistol. Dimitri warns that now neither Kate or Chad are getting off the boat alive.

Harris asks the guard if they can talk about this. He says he can talk to the boss and orders Harris to drop his gun and start walking. Harris drops the gun but then fights the guard off and beats him down.

Steve calls the guard kind of dumb while the guard warns that Steve will be kind of dead. Steve asks if he thinks he just randomly got on the boat. Steve explains that the boat is part of a global search from the ISA, Interpol, and the FBI so they all know where he is which means he has no chance of getting away. The guard responds that Steve has no chance of staying alive. Steve warns him that if he kills an ISA agent, the entire agency will be devoted to making him pay and putting him in the deepest, darkest hole. Steve adds that if he kills him, the ISA will hurt him so bad that he will be begging them to kill him.

Stephanie tells Alex that she loves Maggie, but she should’ve given him a chance to explain. Alex asks why since she was right that he blew the deal. Stephanie disagrees and argues that Yuri just got cold feet which could only be temporary since he said he was going to sleep on it. Alex says Stephanie didn’t hear Maggie’s voice and that she wasn’t angry, just sad. Alex adds that she doesn’t know what Maggie has put up with from him. Alex talks about moving in to Maggie’s home and treating like a frat house, being arrogant and rude but Maggie always saw the good in everybody when he made it damn near impossible. Alex says that what Maggie thinks of him is one of the main reasons he’s trying to change, so it kills him to let her down. Stephanie doesn’t think that he did and encourages that he was doing everything he could to save the deal. Alex says he begged Maggie to put him in charge and as soon as she did, he disobeyed her orders. Stephanie argues that he was blinded by Yuri’s misgivings and was trying to make the best of it. Stephanie declares that she got Seth Burns to unfire Kayla, so she’s going to call Maggie now and work the same magic with her. Stephanie takes her phone and walks away to make the call.

Kayla tells Belle that she would think after all these years, she’d be used to not hearing from Steve. Belle suggests trying to call Harris Michaels but Kayla thinks he would be just as impossible to get a hold of. Belle asks how Roman is. Kayla says his façade doesn’t crack but he’s been through so much from scattering Kate’s ashes in Ireland to finding out that she’s alive but in danger and then finding out that Bo is alive, but he’s not the Bo they remember and now Bo is in a coma. Belle tells Kayla that she’s really worried about Shawn. Kayla assures that Shawn did what he had to do as he thought Bo was going to shoot Hope. Belle worries that if Bo doesn’t make it, Shawn will blame himself for the rest of his life for killing his own dad.

Shawn throws things in frustration in the hospital waiting room until Roman walks in and asks what’s going on. Shawn tells him that there’s no change with Bo as he’s still in a coma and nothing indicates that he’s ever going to come out of it. Roman encourages him to keep the faith. Shawn complains that it won’t change anything as he shot his father. Roman tells Shawn that Hope needs him. Roman suggests they take a walk and get some air but Shawn says that won’t change anything either. Shawn declares that Victor was right that this is his fault.

Chad tells Dimitri that they are at a standoff. Chad decides to put his gun down and asks how to resolve this. Dimitri responds that he just did by putting his gun down and now he shoots him. Chad points out that Dimitri wouldn’t profit much from that and asks if he has any idea how much the other DiMeras would pay for his safe return. Dimitri admits that’s something to consider but decides he’d still like to kill them both.

The guard tells Steve that he will take his chances with the ISA and raises his gun towards him.

Chad hears the gunshot and tells Dimitri that he wasn’t stupid enough to come alone as he has a host of ISA agents, a Black Patch investigator, and a Navy SEAL. Dimitri guesses that’s Steve and Harris as he reveals that they have been expecting them which is why everyone on the ship is armed and has standing orders to shoot to kill.

Harris fired the shot that took out the guard to save Steve. Steve argues that he had the situation under control. Steve questions if Harris had to fire his weapon and let everyone on board know that they are here. Harris comments on Steve not thanking him for saving his ass. Steve then begrudgingly thanks him and they continue to search for Kate.

Stephanie finishes her call and returns to Alex. She informs him that she talked to Maggie and told her that she was in the room for the meeting but Maggie said that if she didn’t keep Alex in line, then Titan might be in the market for a new PR firm. Alex can’t believe she called to talk Maggie out of firing him and she instead threatened to fire her. Stephanie assures that she’ll be fine but she’s so sorry as she doesn’t think Maggie is going to give him his job back any time soon since she seemed pretty upset. Stephanie adds that there must be something else they can do. Alex responds that they can get drunk.

Belle tells Kayla that nobody blames Shawn given all the things Bo had done and of course he was justified in thinking Hope was going to be next, but Shawn doesn’t see it that way and there’s no reasoning with him. Belle adds that Shawn just sounds so bleak. Kayla encourages that she’s been there many times and they have to hold on to the fact that Hope and Roman are there for him and they will see him through this. Kayla assures that Hope will never lose track of Shawn, so they just have to hang in there as they have no choice.

Roman questions Shawn about Victor blaming him for trying to save his mother’s life. Roman asks who the hell he is to pass judgment. Roman declares that he’s going to rip Victor a new one but Shawn stops him and says it’s bad enough in there as they can barely keep it together as it is. Roman complains that he can’t get away with this while Shawn argues that all he did was tell the truth since he is the one who shot Bo. Roman argues that he thought his dad was going to kill his mom. Shawn says that he was wrong and it’s not like he just shot Bo in the leg to disarm him or something. Shawn complains that Bo is lying in that bed and may never come out of it as Roman hugs him. Shawn talks about how he’s missed his father so much and he’s a good man. Roman points out that he kidnapped Kayla and they thought he killed Kate. Shawn responds that he didn’t and that proves he made the wrong call.

Harris and Steve continue searching the ship and come across the first guard that Harris took out. Harris remarks that it’s been a busy night.

Dimitri remarks that he’s sure Chad and Kate have spots in the DiMera Crypt but they are going to have to settle for burial at sea. Harris and Steve then burst in with their guns. Dimitri remarks that the calvary has finally arrived but he still has a gun pointed at Kate. Harris and Steve rush Dimitri and overpower him while Kate rushes to safety with Chad. Chad hugs Kate, thanking God that she’s okay. Kate thanks him for that. Harris says he will call the coast guard to come pick up Dimitri. Kate questions who he is. Chad introduces her to Commander Michaels. Kate greets him and praises his timing. Kate greets Steve and asks how things are. Steve says things are getting better for the both of them. Harris decides he will stay and babysit Dimitri while Chad and Steve get Kate back to the mainland as he’s sure she can’t wait to get off the boat. Kate says she won’t argue with that and calls for drinks on her as soon as they are on dry land.

Alex tells Stephanie that he doesn’t think he likes becoming a better person and he may be ready to backslide already. Alex says he just feels bad about everything, that Maggie and Victor don’t trust him, that he’s letting Maggie down, and that she has to worry about taking care of Titan and Victor. Alex declares that he feels bad that Stephanie is in trouble with Maggie now too and he just hates feeling bad. Alex argues that things were so much more simple when he was just shallow and self-absorbed as he was so good at it until he met her. Alex jokes that Stephanie really screwed him up. Alex adds that one thing he’s working on with Marlena is giving up meaningless sex, but before he met Stephanie, he didn’t know he was having meaningless sex as he thought it was great, not meaningless, but then he saw how Stephanie looked at him and started looking at himself the same way. Alex remarks that it’s not her fault that she’s out of his league but for a moment, he really thought he had a shot with her and then he blew it like he blows everything.

Chad, Steve, and Kate prepare to leave the ship. Kate declares that she cannot leave until she finds her wedding ring. Chad argues that they need to get out of here while Kate insists that won’t leave the ring because Roman gave it to her. Steve notes that he knows where to find the guy who took it so they head there.

Belle informs Kayla that EJ offered her the DiMera Jet to take to Greece but she said no because she’s working a case, but maybe she could get it postponed. Belle worries that even if she went, that Shawn would keep her a million miles away even if she was by his side. Kayla relates to feeling helpless with her brothers. Kayla encourages that Shawn just needs time to heal and then he will open up to her and he will need her so much.

Shawn asks Roman if there’s any news on Kate. Roman informs him that Steve and Chad are trying to track her down along with Harris Michaels. Roman remains unsure about Harris. Shawn points out that Harris did save Chad and Stephanie from Thomas Banks. Shawn wishes there was more he could do but doesn’t think he’d be of much help. Roman encourages that Shawn’s place is here with his parents. Roman adds that when Bo wakes up, he’s going to tell him that he made an impossible choice to protect someone he loves and that’s exactly what Bo would have done. Roman asks if Shawn thinks he can go back in to see Bo, which he agrees to do. Shawn tells Roman that he hopes they find Kate soon as he then exits.

Steve brings Kate and Chad to where the guard was. The guard emerges with a second gun and pulls it on them.

Dimitri asks Harris if he thinks he has finally redeemed himself and if he assumes that his heroics act tonight have somehow atoned for all of his sins. Harris remarks that he knew they should’ve gagged him. Dimitri questions if one tiny good deed outweighs all of the bad. Dimitri asks if that’s why Harris wanted to stay behind and personally hand him to the ISA. Harris responds that maybe he just wanted to see the look on his face when they drag him kicking and screaming to one of those black sites. Dimitri asks if he really thinks that will happen.

Belle notes that it’s getting late while Kayla suggests she give Shawn a call so that he knows she’s thinking of him. Belle agrees to do so and thanks Kayla for listening as they hug. Belle adds that she will pray for Steve and Chad to bring Kate home safe.

Alex assures Stephanie that he knows that she is with Chad now and he respects that while noting that he still hates it. Alex admits there are times that it’s hard to see the point in changing when you don’t get what you want. Alex remarks that he was a great stud but a D- nice guy. Stephanie encourages that therapy and trying to change takes a lot of courage. Stephanie says it’s been a bad day but it’s just one day and the stuff with Maggie was just a temporary setback. Stephanie goes over how many CEOs that Victor has gone through and at the end of the day, it’s just a job. Stephanie calls therapy a very big deal and encourages Alex not to give up after just one bad day. Stephanie adds that he’s only just started and she already thinks this version of him is way better. Alex offers her another drink which she accepts. Stephanie heads to the ladies room first while Alex says he will order some appetizers as he’s getting hungry. Stephanie leaves her phone behind on the bar and it rings with a call from Chad. Alex answers the call and asks Chad what’s up. Chad then questions why Alex is answering Stephanie’s phone.

Steve returns to the hospital waiting room with his arm in a sling. Roman questions what he’s doing here, points out that he’s hurt and asks about what happened with Kate. Kate then enters the room and reveals they found her as she and Roman embrace.

Belle stands outside the Pub and decides to call Shawn, who is having a drink at the hotel in Greece. Shawn sees the call but ignores it. Belle leaves a message, saying she just wanted to tell him that she was thinking of him and to call whenever as she loves him.

Alex informs Chad that Stephanie is in the ladies room and he knew she wouldn’t want to miss his call, so he picked it up. Chad thanks him. Alex explains that they had a client meeting at the Bistro and are just finishing up, but notes that Stephanie is really worried about him and asks if everything is okay over there. Stephanie comes back from the ladies room so Alex hands her the phone and tells her that it’s Chad and that he only picked up because he knew she wouldn’t want to miss it. Stephanie takes the phone and asks if Chad is alright. He says he’s fine. Stephanie tells Alex to just call her tomorrow. Alex says he will and thanks her for being in his corner tonight as he then exits. Chad questions Stephanie having drinks with Alex. Stephanie calls it Titan business and asks Chad if he has any news about what’s going on. Chad informs her that he, Steve, and Harris found Kate and everything is fine. Stephanie calls that wonderful. Chad says the best thing is that Kate is still herself and says he’ll tell her the whole story when he gets back. Chad encourages Stephanie that Steve is fine and he’s going to call her when he gets done but reveals that he got shot. Chad promises that he’s fine as the bullet just grazed him and the hospital already released him. Stephanie says she believes him and asks if this means they are all coming home now. Chad is not sure about everyone else but assures that he’s on the first flight back to Salem.

Steve calls Kayla and informs her that he got shot, but promises that it’s just a scratch and that it was worth it to see the look on Roman’s face when he saw Kate. Kayla asks if Kate is okay. Steve says she’s better than okay since she’s with Roman now.

Kate finishes a call with her son Austin, assuring that she is fine and will call everyone else in the morning. Kate says she loves him and hangs up. Kate tells Roman that Austin will tell everyone else for her and says to tell Roman that he’s happy for him. Roman asks if she’s sure she is fine. Kate confirms that the doctor just said she needs rest. Kate talks about not being afraid of Megan or Dimitri the whole time, but she was terrified of losing Roman. Roman says she’ll never have to worry about that because he is never going to let her out of his sight again.

Harris tells Dimitri that the ISA is going to dump his ass in a black hole where no one has to see or hear from him ever again. Harris adds that Dimitri lost his leverage when Steve and Chad took Kate home as a hostage situation only works when there actually is a hostage. Dimitri then reveals that Kate was not his only hostage…

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

John goes to Marlena’s office and tells her that he knows her schedule is jam packed but he just wanted to see if she needed anything. Marlena informs him that she’s actually just about to leave. John is surprised she doesn’t have any more appointments. Marlena informs him that her last patient just left for an important business meeting…

Alex sits at the Bistro while on the phone with Maggie. Maggie tells him the flight was long and Victor is in with Bo now, but there’s no change in his condition yet. Alex assures that he has everything under control and he is waiting for his meeting with Yuri as they speak. Alex states that by the time the check comes, the tech company will officially be in business with Titan. Maggie reminds him that the deal is all laid out, so all he has to do is close it. Alex declares that getting Yuri to sign the contract is his only job. Alex adds that he even recruited someone to help make sure he keeps his focus, as Stephanie then arrives.

In Greece, Steve and Harris meet with Chad to inform him that they found a small motorboat that they think Kate must have used to escape the island. Chad asks about Kate. Harris says they searched everything but unfortunately there were no signs of life. Chad asks what that means. Steve reveals that the coast guard believes there is no way Kate survived.

Kate continues cutting fish on the boat until the guard comes in and informs her that the captain wants to see her. Kate asks why. He tells her no questions and holds his gun on her so she tells him to lead the way.

Chad doesn’t care what the coast guard says. Steve and Harris assure that they are not giving up as they promised Roman that they would find his wife. Steve says there was no body found, so as far as he’s concerned, Kate is still alive. Chad asks what their next move is. Harris explains that they think Kate could have been picked up by a passing ship so they can check for a location and figure out who picked her up. Chad says that makes sense but thinks Kate would have tried to reach out to them if she boarded a ship.

Kate is brought to see Dimitri and asks what he wants with her. Kate asks if he called Roman for the ransom but Dimitri says not yet. Kate questions why the hell he summoned her then. Dimitri says she’s been working so hard that he thought she could use a break. Dimitri invites Kate to join him for a late supper. Kate tells him to take his invitation and shove it up his ass.

Alex thanks Stephanie for coming as she joins him and asks how he’s feeling. Alex admits he’s nervous but played it cool with Maggie. Stephanie assures that he’s totally prepared. Alex worries that he’s never closed a deal this big before and Maggie made it clear that it’s his last chance to prove himself so he can’t mess this up. Stephanie says that’s why she’s there to keep him on track and assures that he’s got this. Yuri arrives and meets Alex and Stephanie. Yuri mentions being unaware that Stephanie was coming and asks if there’s an image problem that he’s not aware of. Alex says not at all and it’s just a very big deal for them so they wanted to have all hands on deck. Yuri asks where Maggie is. Alex questions him not getting his e-mail that Maggie had a family emergency. Yuri suggests they should reschedule but Alex assures he is fully prepared. Yuri notes that he’s used to only dealing with the top dog. Alex explains that Maggie felt he might be comfortable with him just carrying the ball pass the goal line. Alex presents Yuri the deal to sign but Yuri says he would actually like to speak with him about a few things.

John tells Marlena that he still can’t believe she’s back to work after all she’s been through. John asks how many patients she has treated over the years. Marlena says she’s never thought about it. John talks about how she started as a psychiatrist in 1976 so he thought if she took her average case load and multiplied it by how many years she’s been at it, it would be about 5000 patients. John declares that needs to be celebrated and that’s exactly what they are going to do.

John and Marlena go to the Brady Pub. John asks what to order to celebrate Marlena reaching 5000 patients. Marlena laughs that it’s nowhere near that but admits she’s never tried to count. John is sure she’s reflected on when she first started. Marlena admits she has from time to time. John asks what stands out the most. Marlena suggests her very first patient, Mickey Horton. Marlena calls it a tough case but a lovely man and says they developed a very dear friendship as she flashes back to when they first met. John asks if she’s okay. Marlena says she was just thinking back to when she first came to Salem. John is sure things were a bit different back then. Marlena confirms that they were, but what makes Salem so special is all of the people that live here which is what made it so comfortable to develop her practice. John tells her it’s not too late to go some place a little fancier for their celebration like the Bistro but Marlena says no. Marlena mentions that her client is having his business meeting at the Bistro, so she doesn’t want to show up and throw him off his game.

Alex asks what Yuri wants to discuss. Yuri says he’s all about optionality with more avenues to create buy in. Yuri adds that according to the deal, the expansion plan is kind of weak, safe, and conservative. Yuri says he came to play and it’s go big or go home. Alex says that their analysts have done a lot of research and it seemed like the optimal amount of growth for everyone. Yuri doesn’t care about research and says his gut says that they need to be aggressive. Alex explains that Maggie believes in having more patience. Yuri remarks that Maggie seems a little bit out of touch and asks how old she is. Stephanie questions why that is relevant. Yuri says it’s very relevant and promises it’s not about women. Yuri declares that he goes fast and Maggie won’t be able to keep up with him. Alex insists that Maggie can keep up and is a very shrewd business woman, especially for being so new to the business. Yuri questions Maggie being new to the business and says that she is the CEO, so he assumed that she had a lot of experience. Alex then says that Maggie did run a lot of successful restaurants that flourished under her excellent leadership and guidance. Yuri is glad he clued him on that but he didn’t realize he was about to make a billion dollar deal with a total newbie…

Roman joins Maggie in Greece and hugs her, saying he’s so glad she’s there and asks how she is. Maggie says she’s still wrapping her head around Bo being alive. Roman says there has unfortunately been no progress since Bo squeezed Hope’s hand, so they are making plans to move Bo to a long term care facility. Roman hopes he wakes up before it comes to that but it doesn’t look good. Maggie encourages Roman not to give up as Bo is so strong and so is Kate.

Harris finds out there is only one sea line that passes where they found Kate’s boat, so only a handful of ships have been in that area. Harris pulls up the live radar. Steve points out a cargo ship that doesn’t seem to be moving. Harris finds out it’s been anchored off the coast for several weeks. Steve notes that it’s not docked and is just hanging out in the water. Harris looks up more information and it says the only other ship is Dimitri Von Leuschner.

Dimitri remarks to Kate that he sees where her daughter Billie gets her spunk. Kate asks what he’s going to and if he’s going to poison her food. Dimitri asks why he would do that when he needs her alive to get what he wants. Kate argues that he hasn’t called for a ransom and won’t share his end game, so she questions why she’s here. Dimitri suggests she would make company and he thought she would missing the finer things in life like wine and lobster. Kate then decides to accept but Dimtiri says she can’t have dinner looking like this. Dimitri offers her his private bathroom to shower and change. Kate asks if he thinks she’s going to put out. Dimitri remarks that he’s well aware that her days as an escort are behind her and he would just prefer that his dining companion smell a bit less fishy. Kate rolls her eyes and then goes to change.

Chad can’t believe it’s Dimitri Von Leuschner and informs Harris and Steve that he met him a few years ago in Phoenix. Chad calls Dimitri like a James Bond villain and mentions that he tried to steal the Alamanian Peacock which was a statue that could vaporize an entire city. Chad calls it a long story but points out that Kate’s daughter Billie was the one who took him down, so he wonders if Dimitri found Kate and took her hostage to get back at the woman who screwed him over. Harris says that would explain why Kate hasn’t reached out. Steve thought Dimitri was locked up. Harris decides they better find out.

John tells Marlena that she’s had an incredible career with all the people she’s helped and lives she’s touched. John jokes that it’s been 5000 but Marlena insists it hasn’t been that many. John counts all the listeners that called in to her radio show. John admits maybe the numbers don’t work out like that, but she has literally talked people off the ledge. Marlena flashes back to talking her client Matt off of a ledge until she ended up falling off the ledge herself. John points out that she almost died while helping Matt. Marlena says she would do it again but admits that’s easy to say now that they both survived. John states that Marlena has always put her patients first because that’s just who she is.

Stephanie tells Yuri that Alex didn’t mean to make him think that Maggie isn’t qualified and assures that she is savvy and respected by her peers. Yuri mocks that and calls this off brand for him, arguing that he needs a CEO who is in it. Alex declares that Yuri is right that maybe Maggie isn’t completely in touch, but assures that what she outlined in the deal is rock solid. Alex adds that maybe Maggie doesn’t fully appreciate the tech space, but he does. Alex understands that Yuri wants to revolutionize and inspire. Alex declares that they can get there and urges Yuri to sign the contract and then they can tweak a few things. Stephanie isn’t sure about that and thinks they should stick to the original terms. Yuri thinks Stephanie should listen to Alex and says that Alex totally gets that they need to change things up. Yuri comments that he needs an energy boost. Alex offers to order a round of drinks but Yuri says he needs something stronger and heads to the bathroom. Stephanie then asks Alex what the hell he’s doing.

Maggie asks Roman if he’s getting any sleep at all. Roman says not much as he’s trying to spend as much time with Bo as he can and he also wants to help with the search for Kate. Maggie insists that now that Steve is on the case, it’s only a matter of time before Kate is found. Roman comments that Steve and Chad have been on it non stop along with Harris Michaels. Maggie recalls Harris as the man who was brainwashed by Megan Hathaway. Roman informs her that Chad and Andrew are convinced that Harris is fully deprogrammed while he and Steve remain unsure, but at this point they can use all the help they can get.

Steve finishes a call while Chad says that Andrew is not picking up. Steve says he just talked to Frankie and last he heard, his cousin Dimitri was still behind bars. Harris then reveals that’s what Dimitri wants them to believe but it’s not true. Harris explains that he just spoke to Sebastian Alamain, who had a guard check on Dimitri’s cell and found an impostor in his place. Chad questions how long ago Dimitri escaped. Harris says the impostor isn’t talking which means Dimitri could be on the cargo ship and could be holding Kate hostage.

Kate gets dressed and Dimitri tells her that she looks stunning as they sit down with glasses of wine.

Chad still can’t get ahold of Andrew and wonders if they should reach out to the coast guard to get a hold of the ship. Steve doesn’t like the idea of giving Dimitri a heads up and says it’s better to take him by surprise which Harris agrees with. Steve hands Harris a gun and pulls one out for himself. Chad asks where his is but Harris says Chad is staying here because he’s a civilian. Chad disagrees but Steve says he’s with Harris on this one. Chad argues that Kate’s like a mother to him so he’s not staying here. Steve argues that Chad is also a father to two young children. Chad insists that he can handle himself. Chad adds that he had a front row seat to Dimitri’s last scheme so he knows how he works and maybe he can pick up on a few things that they can’t and make sure nobody gets hurt or that Dimitri doesn’t slip away. Steve admits that Chad has a point and hands him a gun.

Dimitri comments on Kate cleaning up nicely. Kate asks where the lobster is. Dimitri relates to inhaling his first meal after prison. Kate points out that he never explained how he got out of prison. Dimitri responds that even behind bars, he has plenty of resources and eventually he traded places with a sorry sap who agreed to impersonate him. Kate feels that sounds risky. Dimitri says not at all and laughs that it was surprisingly easy while now, nobody even knows he’s gone.

Roman tells Maggie that he doesn’t get where Kate has been all this time and why she hasn’t contacted anyone if she’s still alive. Roman worries that’s not a good sign. Maggie encourages that Kate has overcome every obstacle in her life, so this time is no different. Roman appreciates her saying that and notes that Maggie is pretty tough herself. Roman mentions hearing that she’s kicking butt at Titan. Maggie admits she’s enjoying the challenge. Roman guesses it must have been tricky to drop everything and fly to Greece with Victor. Maggie explains that Victor tried to talk her in to staying behind but there was no way, so she had to leave Alex in charge and she hopes that wasn’t a mistake.

Stephanie reminds Alex that Maggie told him to stick to the original deal. Alex says he knows that but argues that he had to do something or Yuri was going to walk out of the deal. Stephanie feels that Alex was undermining Maggie. Alex calls that an accident and says he was trying to make up for it. Stephanie argues that Alex is not authorized to change the terms. Alex says he knows, but all that matters is that the obnoxious jerk signs with Titan and he’s going to get it done. Stephanie reminds him that he hired her to help him stay on course but right now, he’s drifting way out in to uncharted waters so he needs to turn around. Alex argues that they will lose him. Stephanie disagrees and says Alex was excited about the original deal. Alex points out that he’s not excited now and is ready to walk. Stephanie thinks he’s just getting cold feet, so Alex needs to reassure him and sell him on Maggie’s vision by being confident in it. Stephanie insists that Yuri would be lucky to be in business with Titan. Stephanie instructs Alex to stand firm and not give in.

John tells Marlena that helping Matt off the ledge wasn’t the only time her job became hazardous to her health. John brings up Roger Lombard, who Marlena remembers as the drunk driver who hit Kimberly. John adds that he wasn’t even the most dangerous member of his family as that was Stella, who thought Marlena was having an affair with her husband. They recall Stella throwing her in a pit and John jumping in to rescue her, which rekindled their love which they flashback to. John comments that he’d still be in the dark if not for her and he thanks God every day that he met her. John talks about the influence she had over the years on patients she never gave up on and calls her a real miracle worker. John brings up Marlena rehabbing a serial killer and Ben overcame his demons to become a real stand up guy thanks to her. Marlena says that Ben did all the hard work and she’s just proud of the man he has become. Marlena thinks back to counseling Ben. Marlena mentions hearing from Ben and that he’s over the moon to be becoming a father again. John says there is no question that Marlena deserves a little bit of credit for that happiness.

Yuri returns to the table and says he needed to clear his head. Alex says that while he was gone, he looked over the original contract and says the terms are pretty awesome so he thinks they should stick with it. Yuri says Alex got him pumped up for something more in your face. Alex argues that’s not always the best approach and he promises that taking Maggie’s approach and having patience will pay off in the long run. Yuri decides to go back to the Salem Inn and sleep on it. Alex thinks they need to lock it in tonight and celebrate. Yuri tells Alex that he made him realize that he doesn’t have enough information on Maggie, so he can’t make this decision yet. Alex tries to stop Yuri but Yuri thanks him for the drink and exits the Bistro.

Kate asks Dimitri again why he hasn’t made a ransom request as she doesn’t think he’s just keeping her around for the company. Dimitri responds that there are still many factors at play. Dimitri asks what good it would do for him to ask for a large sum of money as everyone would know he escaped prison and send him right back. Kate guesses he’s looking for immunity then. Dimitri calls it a bit more complicated than that.

Chad, Steve, and Harris arrive on the ship with their guns raised. Steve tells Chad to stick with him but Chad insists that he can handle himself and that it’s best to go separately. Harris tells him to text if he finds any sign of Kate as they each then head off in different directions.

Alex can’t believe this and begins to panic that he blew it. Stephanie tells him not to freak out since Yuri did not say no. Alex asks what he’s supposed to do. Stephanie instructs him to get him back at the table and not let him leave without signing. Stephanie calls this a temporary setback and completely normal for someone to second guess signing a deal this big. Stephanie encourages Alex not to freak out and to take a deep breath to regroup because this is not over. Alex agrees that he just has to keep pressing on and to convince Yuri that not signing with Titan would be a huge mistake. Stephanie says she will help and promises they will win this. Alex calls her a lifesaver and hopes tomorrow they can get this whole thing wrapped up so that Maggie never finds out about this blip. Alex then gets a call from Maggie, so Stephanie tells him to be cool. Alex answers the call and claims that everything went great. Alex admits Yuri didn’t sign right now but everything is good and he’s confident that he will sign tomorrow. Maggie then reveals that he’s not as she just spoke to Yuri and he decided that Titan was not a good fit after all, so the deal is off. Alex calls that insane and insists that he will fix this by going to the Salem Inn now to talk to him. Maggie thinks he’s done enough and reveals that Yuri told her that he had some doubts about her terms and that Alex got him all excited about a vision that was more in your face, so he doesn’t think she’s the right person to see it through. Alex calls Yuri wrong and says he’s going to fix this to make it up to her. Maggie tells him no and that this is the last straw. Alex asks Maggie not to be angry with him. Maggie responds that she’s not angry, just disappointed because he told her that she wouldn’t regret trusting him and promised he wouldn’t let her down, but he did. Maggie declares that she’s sorry to say that he’s fired.

Steve finds the room of the ship where Kate was being held and finds her ring on the floor which he calls a promising sign. The guard then catches him and asks what they have here.

Kate asks if Dimitri doesn’t want immunity for his crimes. Dimitri assures that he does but he also wants something else and he needs everything in place in order for him to achieve his goal. Kate hopes he’s not going after the Peacock again. Dimitri says no and what he’s after is much more personal. Chad then bursts in with his gun raised on Dimitri, surprising Kate.

John toasts to Marlena’s incredible career and says she has made a mark on the town and the entire world. John calls Marlena a true legend. They exit the Pub together. Marlena calls it a lovely and perfect celebration. John says there is nothing he loves more than celebrating his extraordinary wife. Marlena thanks him and they kiss. Marlena jokes that maybe 5000 isn’t such a crazy number after all. John wishes her a happy 5000 then as they walk off together.

Happy 5000 Episodes, Deidre Hall!

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Gabi goes to the DiMera Enterprises office, looking for Stefan. Gabi finds the office is empty, so she sits at the desk. Stefan then walks in and guesses Gabi misses this. Gabi argues that they should be running the place. Stefan assures that they will be as soon as they give EJ the boot. Stefan points out that EJ is late and suggests Gabi put that in her next report. Stefan adds that Nicole is missing too. Gabi responds that at least she has an excuse and reveals to Stefan that Nicole was in the hospital last night.

Nicole walks past the Brady Pub and calls Kayla, saying she knows they can’t do the DNA test for a few weeks but she wants to make an appointment because she needs to know who the father of her baby is as soon as possible. Eric then comes out from the Pub. Nicole hangs up and greets him, noting that she was just talking to Kayla. Eric says he didn’t hear and asks if she’s okay. Nicole responds that she’s fine but worries about Eric’s stitches. Eric mentions that he and EJ got in to it last night. Nicole says she heard but didn’t realize it was that bad. Eric says he’s more worried about her as he called her and tried to warn her that EJ knew. Nicole blames Sloan and informs Eric that she didn’t get his message until after EJ confronted her. Eric calls it bad timing. Nicole calls it bad judgment on Sloan’s part and questions what the hell she was thinking by telling EJ that they slept together.

Sloan shows up at Colin’s motel room. Colin greets his sister and says he missed her but Sloan argues that if that were true, he would’ve told her that he was in town. Sloan walks in to the room
and reveals that she knows what he’s been doing, so they need to talk.

At the police station, Jada tries calling Talia again since the first call went to voicemail. Rafe reminds Jada that Sloan is their prime suspect. Jada says she still wants to know what Talia can tell her about Colin, even if part of her is afraid to hear it.

Talia and Chanel kiss on the couch as Talia’s phone rings with Jada’s call. Chanel stops and asks if she wants to answer that. Talia says no and turns off the ringer, telling Chanel there will be no more interruptions. They continue kissing until Chanel suggests they go to her bedroom. Talia stops and thinks back to planning this with Colin. Talia then stands up and resumes kissing Chanel until Paulina comes home and walks in on them.

Jada leaves a message for Talia, asking where she is and telling her to call her when she gets this because they need to talk. Jada says she’ll explain later and hangs up. Rafe questions her holding back. Jada explains that she felt ordering her to the station because she’s looking guiltier by the minute didn’t feel like the right approach. Jada hopes there’s an explanation that explains this all away.

Colin asks Sloan what he’s been doing. Sloan brings up a time that Colin got her grounded when they were kids. She tells him to stop playing innocent. Colin tells her to leave now because the less she knows, the better. Sloan responds that it’s too late because she already knows what he’s been doing.

Eric tells Nicole that Sloan admitted that she made a mistake and that she thought EJ already knew since what happened didn’t mean anything. Eric adds that if Nicole had already told EJ, maybe he wouldn’t have made such a big deal about it. Nicole argues that Sloan doesn’t appreciate their complicated history. Eric says that he filled her in some and she assumes that some of their complications are in the past. Eric asks if everything is okay between her and EJ. Nicole assures they are fine. Eric asks about Nicole since she was on the phone with Kayla and seemed startled when he walked out, so he asks if everything is okay.

Gabi writes a report about EJ being tardy to work. Stefan reads it and calls it great. Gabi says she’s got more. EJ then arrives at the office. Stefan comments that EJ is late and it’s becoming a habit. EJ informs them that he was tending to Nicole and she’s fine. Stefan remarks on Nicole’s episode not interfering with her work. Stefan says he was a little concerned that Nicole wouldn’t be fair in her reports to the DiMera Board but he had nothing to worry about because she was a total pro. EJ questions what he’s talking about. Stefan then shows EJ the report that he and Gabi changed to be positive about Stefan. EJ reads it in shock then trashes the paper, arguing that Nicole didn’t write one word of that crap. Gabi and Stefan point out that it has Nicole’s name on it and came from her e-mail to the board. EJ doesn’t know how they did it but says they obviously pulled something while Nicole was in the hospital. EJ then realizes that wasn’t the only report they submitted to the board last night.

Nicole tells Eric that everything is fine. Eric questions her being on the phone with Kayla and looking rattled. Nicole claims that she just jumps to the worst possible scenario, the doctor tells her that she’s fine and she insists on following up. Nicole admits that she had painful cramps last night, so she went to the hospital. Eric informs her that he was also at the hospital last night. Nicole mentions that Kayla said she saw him. Eric recalls running in to EJ on his way out. Nicole points out that he didn’t mention that before. Eric guesses he blocked it out. Eric notes that EJ said they talked about what happened between them and that EJ understands it didn’t mean anything, so he should just let it go. Eric says that’s not a problem for him and that they can get past that. Eric then points out that one thing that is strange is that EJ said he was at the hospital to get his hand checked out, but he was obviously there to see Nicole, so he questions why EJ would lie.

Paulina apologizes for walking in as she thought Chanel was alone. Chanel says it’s okay and encourages her not to panic. Talia says she doesn’t want her to get the wrong idea but Paulina says it’s okay as Chanel told her they were dating. Paulina adds that nobody wants a third wheel so she’ll go back out but Talia stops her and says she will go. Chanel tells her that she doesn’t have to. Paulina doesn’t want Talia to go on her account. Talia says she has to get to her missed call and tells Chanel that she will see her later. Talia then exits. Paulina feels terrible and wishes she knew that Chanel had company. Paulina admits she didn’t realize that things were moving so fast between them. Chanel says they were just hanging out and it sort of happened. Paulina decides maybe it’s a good thing that she interrupted. Chanel questions what that means.

Rafe tells Jada that he can talk to Talia and give her a break but Jada says it has to be her since she knows Talia better than anyone. Rafe wonders if less closeness in this case could be a good thing. Jada questions if he’s saying she can’t be objective. Jada insists that she will know if something is off like when Talia said she came straight home after Chanel’s and forgot about her walk around the lake before the town got drugged. Rafe asks Jada for more about her trip to the motel. Jada says he should’ve seen this Colin Firth. Jada comments that Colin was evasive and wouldn’t even admit to knowing Talia despite two witnesses swearing that they saw Talia leaving his room. Rafe reminds her that Talia still has no motive. Jada can’t figure out how Colin fits in if she did. Jada decides that if Colin won’t tell her what she needs to know, she will figure it out herself which Rafe questions. Jada argues that Colin can play dumb and stonewall her but he can’t stop her from investigating. Jada declares that she will find out everything there is to know about Colin, starting with what kind of car he drives, then she will run his license plates to see if he’s in the system. Jada decides she’s going back to the motel to see who else has been stopping by to see him.

Sloan questions how she could not have seen this sooner. Colin argues that Sloan put in enough time and effort in to trying to make Chanel pay for what she did to their parents, so now it’s his turn. Sloan argues that it’s not a game. Colin says that Sloan tried using the legal system to get justice but it didn’t work, so this requires someone that is willing to go to more extreme measures and that is him. Sloan asks if he’s considered how what he’s doing affects her since she’s being blamed for all of this. Colin apologizes for it being inconvenient. Sloan complains that her life is a living hell with the district attorney and police commissioner have been out to get her. Colin assures that they won’t have evidence against her. Sloan brings up how far Paulina will go to protect her daughter, so she will pay somebody to come up with something to railroad her with. Colin argues that she’ll find a way to prevent that. Colin insists that she will thank him when this is done. Sloan complains that the most powerful people in town are out to destroy her and the other half hate her guts. Sloan worries that she could lose her license, her practice, and her freedom so she doubts she will be thanking him. Colin asks if she has any other suggestions because he doesn’t see any other way and he is not walking away. Colin declares that he’s not letting those little bitches get away with murder. Sloan questions if he hasn’t done enough damage by getting Chanel’s bakery shut down, thus killing her dream. Colin calls that just the beginning.

Chanel questions why Paulina interrupting her and Talia would be a good thing as she thought Paulina liked Talia. Paulina says she does very much. Chanel asks if Paulina thinks she’s rushing in to things but she says it’s not that. Chanel adds that she doesn’t have a policy against co-workers hooking up which Paulina says she knows. Chanel says she’s lost. Paulina tells her to forget what she said but Chanel says she can’t. Paulina says she’s just so worried about the Sloan situation that she’s not thinking straight. Chanel asks if something happened. Paulina reveals that she got another threatening text message while at the police station and she pushed Rafe again to arrest Sloan, but he kept going on about how he had to consider all suspects. Chanel asks what this has to do with her being glad that she interrupted. Chanel then asks if she’s saying the police suspect Talia.

Jada tells Rafe that she is heading to the motel now and she’s not coming back without something solid. Talia then arrives at the station. Jada asks what she’s doing here. Talia points out that Jada called, so she decided that instead of playing phone tag, she would come see what she wanted this time. Jada then tells Talia that she wants to know who Colin is and what the hell she’s doing with him.

EJ questions Stefan and Gabi submitting those bogus reports to the board, arguing that there was nothing honest about it. EJ complains that Gabi’s scathing report about him was all lies and Nicole’s report about Stefan was obviously doctored by them. EJ worries about them sending that to Wei Shin. EJ then gets a phone call so Stefan asks if he’s going to answer that.

Nicole tells Eric that EJ was just protecting her privacy. Nicole then admits that EJ didn’t want him to know that she was at the hospital as he’s not at the top of EJ’s list when it comes to confiding. Eric says he gets it but he was just concerned. Eric knows what Nicole told him, but he also knows her and can see the look in her eyes. Eric reminds Nicole that she can talk to him about anything and trust him. Nicole says she knows that and she appreciates it. Nicole adds that it’s not that she doesn’t want to tell him, but it’s hard. Eric knows it’s hard to keep a secret but encourages her to open up a little bit and talk to him. Eric suggests maybe it will make it easier. Nicole asks him to promise which he does. Eric repeats that she can talk to him about anything. Nicole then tells Eric that the cramps are not just cramps. Eric asks what they are. Nicole claims that Kayla thinks that she’s in the early stages of menopause. Eric says the way she was talking made it sound more serious. Nicole says it’s not serious and it’s normal. Eric asks about the tests she wanted. Nicole says it’s for clarity as she doesn’t want to assume what’s going on with her body and she wants to know for sure.

EJ answers his call from Wei Shin and says he was just informed that he received the reports but there’s a lot more going on. EJ asks him to ignore everything he read about Stefan because the report was tampered with. EJ adds that his evaluation was pure fiction as they both know how Gabi is deeply biased. EJ argues that he’s not an HR disaster waiting to happen or temperamental. EJ adds that the quotes are totally made up. EJ questions Wei saying he wants him to take anger management classes. EJ screams that he’ll show him anger management and throws his phone across the room. EJ calls Stefan a bastard. Stefan and Gabi comment on use of offensive language being included in the report.

Paulina tells Chanel that Rafe didn’t want her to know and that they just suspected Talia for a moment and that was it. Chanel doesn’t understand since the police questioned them twice. Paulina says there was a slight discrepancy in Talia’s story but she cleared it all up. Chanel asks what discrepancy she’s talking about. Paulina thinks it started with where she went after they had dinner and something about her keys but nothing of consequence. Paulina adds that Talia had no motive to want to hurt them. Chanel questions the police considering Talia a suspect when Sloan is obviously behind all of this. Chanel calls it ridiculous. Paulina agrees but guesses Rafe just wanted to be thorough. Chanel argues that he should ask her then because she spends more time with Talia than anyone and thinks she would know if Talia was out to get them…

Sloan questions Colin saying getting Chanel’s bakery shut down was just the beginning. Sloan warns him about drugging the biscuits being a felony that people go to prison for. Colin argues that no one got hurt and that it all looked pretty fun to him. Sloan tells him to ask Melinda and Rafe, who ended up in the hospital. Colin laughs about reading about that in Leo’s gossip column. Colin remarks that Jada is pretty hot, so maybe Rafe thought it was all worth it. Sloan questions this all being a big joke to him. Sloan argues that people are getting hurt, including her. Colin insists there’s no way people can pin this on her. Sloan says that’s not what she meant. Sloan can’t believe she’s saying this but for the first time in this town, she might finally have something good going. Sloan says she wasn’t looking for it, but she’s found it and doesn’t want to lose it. Colin asks if she’s talking about a guy. Sloan confirms that she likes him and he’s important to her. Colin promises that whatever he does going forward won’t affect Eric. Sloan remarks that it’s too late for that as Eric had a drugged biscuit and ended up hooking up with his ex which she had the pleasure of walking in on. Sloan knows Colin thinks he’s honoring their parents’ memory but all he’s doing is ruining her life. Sloan declares that it stops here and it’s over.

Jada asks Talia about Colin. Talia says she doesn’t understand. Jada says she doesn’t either but Chloe and Xander both said they saw her leaving his motel room, so she went there to talk to him. Jada says she asked Colin some questions but he refused to answer. Jada asks if Talia will answer or do the same. Jada then asks if it was Talia that they saw leaving Colin’s motel room. Talia admits that it was and turns away. Talia admits that she lied to Jada. Talia says the night that everybody got high on the biscuits, she didn’t have a headache or take a walk around the lake. Talia admits that she went to the motel to see Colin. Jada stops Talia and says she has to read her rights. Talia asks her to let her explain because she has to say this now so Jada tells her to go ahead. Talia then reveals that Colin is her ex-boyfriend from New York. Talia claims on the night that she had dinner with Chanel and her family, Colin texted her out of the blue and said he was in town and wanted to see her. Talia says they were broken up and completely done, but she went to the motel and slept with him. Rafe questions why Talia didn’t just say that in the first place. Talia says it’s because she shouldn’t be seeing Colin at all as he’s no good for her and she doesn’t like who she is when she’s around him. Talia adds that she got weak after hearing his voice on the phone and everything she knew went away. Jada talks about knowing she had a boyfriend in New York, but she didn’t know he made her feel like this. Jada questions why Talia never said anything. Talia cries that it’s humiliating and she doesn’t know why she lied. Talia claims that she had told Colin that she never wanted to see him again and that they were done. Jada tries to tell her it’s okay. Talia asks if she’s said enough to finally convince her that she’s not a terrorist and she’s just a pathetic loser who slept with her ex-boyfriend. Talia asks if she wants more details or if she believes her now so this can all stop. Jada says she believes her but Talia says she has to go and storms out of the station.

Sloan tells Colin that nobody understands what he’s feeling more than she does as she felt the sorrow, grief, and rage every day since their mom died. Sloan adds that she spent hours obsessing over how to make Chanel and Paulina pay and suffer like they did, but by some miracle, she wants something more than revenge. Sloan declares that she found something beautiful that she wants to protect and Colin is making that very hard. Colin says the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. Sloan understands he needs it as she’s been there but it’s a lonely place. Sloan didn’t realize how lonely it was until she found somebody who showed her that there was more to live for. Sloan says she wants that for Colin too as she hugs him. Sloan declares that moving on does not mean they forget their parents as they never will. Sloan encourages Colin to want more for himself too. Sloan warns that if the police come looking for her again, she’s going to tell them it’s him. Sloan kisses Colin on the cheek and then exits his room.

EJ calls Wei Shin back and gets upset when he’s told that Wei is unavailable. EJ says to let him know that he called and hangs up. Stefan declares their work here is done while Gabi suggests they go out to lunch to celebrate, so they exit together.

Eric asks Nicole if everything EJ said at the hospital is true, that everything is cool and there are no more lingering issues between them. Nicole says she hopes not. Nicole then gets a call from EJ. Eric tells Nicole that it was good to see her and he hopes everything goes well with her tests. Eric then heads back in to the Pub as Nicole answers the phone. EJ asks her to come to the office right away as they have a bit of a situation. Nicole says sure. EJ asks if everything is alright. Nicole says it’s fine and she’ll be there soon, then hangs up.

Paulina shows Chanel the latest threatening text message she got. Chanel says that’s awful and they need to do something. Paulina assures that she’s trying and had Rafe bring Sloan to the station for questioning but she denied everything. Chanel argues that she’s lying. Paulina says the problem is that they can’t prove it. Chanel asks what they can do. Paulina responds that they can’t let Sloan even get a hint that the police suspected Talia or else she’ll find a way to incriminate her. Chanel still can’t believe that Rafe thought Talia was behind all of this and that Jada suspected her own sister. Paulina tells Chanel not to worry because their eyes are on the prize. Paulina then asks Chanel about her and Talia as she assumed they were having a nice time before she barged in. Chanel explains that she assumed their date was the end of their romantic road since things got awkward towards the end, so she assumed Talia wasn’t in to her and then she showed up with flowers. Chanel says they talked and it turned out that Talia doesn’t have much experience with anyone which Paulina calls hard to believe. Chanel says there was one guy in New York that she fell pretty hard for but they broke up and she got emotional talking about it. Paulina is glad that they are getting closer. Chanel says that Talia has such a big heart, so the idea that she could hurt anyone means the cops have to be barking up the wrong tree…

Jada tells Rafe that Talia was in so much pain over Colin while she was just piling on with questions. Rafe understands that she didn’t know who Colin was, but he suspects that Talia has now put Jada’s doubts to rest and that she no longer sees her as a suspect. Jada hopes that Talia meant it about being done with her ex, because everything about that guy screamed bad news.

Colin is packing his bag as Talia comes in to his room. Colin informs her that he has some news but then asks if she’s alright as she looks like she’s been through the ringer. Talia says she just came from seeing her sister again, but she has everything under control. Colin thought she was with Chanel. Talia confirms that she was but they got interrupted by Paulina coming home. Talia tells Colin not to be upset, but things are heating up between her and Chanel, and Chanel is really in to her now. Talia then notices that Colin was packing his bag and questions what’s going on. Colin claims he was just organizing because his clothes were everywhere and the room is small. Talia asks about Colin saying he had news. Colin decides it doesn’t matter and that it’s so great about her and Chanel. Colin tells her how happy she’s made him as he hugs her.

Sloan joins Eric at the Pub. Eric asks what happened at the police station. Sloan explains that someone was again sending Paulina a threatening text and they wanted to blame it on her. Eric says it sounds like whoever is doing this is running out of ideas, which hopefully means it will be over soon. Eric hugs her as Sloan says she hopes so.

Nicole joins EJ at the office and confirms the report sent was not what she wrote about Stefan. EJ assumes that Gabi got in to her laptop while she was in the hospital. Nicole recalls logging in right before that happened and calls her a snake. EJ says they have a true disaster on their hands. Nicole argues that they won’t get away with it because she will rewrite the report to send to the board and then she will prove her computer was hacked. EJ says he doesn’t know. Nicole argues that they have to be exposed and there is no other choice. EJ worries as they will have two reports from her on their desk, one true and one a lie. EJ wonders how the board will determine which one is real.
