THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

All I want is for us to be on good terms again, to possibly have a relationship, a fresh start. Xander, you’re my son. And I love you. So please tell me you believe me. Tell me you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

[soft stirring music]

What the hell is that?

Whose knickers are these?

Go out the bathroom window.

We’re three stories up.

Yes, you look very fit. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Now go! Oh. Oh, oh. Here, here. How do you know they’re not mine? Okay, fine. As you seem to have surmised, Mumsie had a little dalliance last night.

Really? Even though the only man that you know in this town is me?

Mm, that was true until I met a handsome stranger in that delightful bakery, Naughty Bits.

Sweet Bits.

Oh, yes. Right. Well, anyway, he and I bonded over beverages. Our lattes got mixed up, and he returned mine, and I returned his.

And before you knew it, you were swapping more than lattes.

[laughs] What can I say? He was a very charming gentleman.

Well, maybe I know him. What’s this charming gentleman’s name?

[tense music]

[upbeat music]

What’s up, cuz? How’s it goin’?

Oh, Alex. Hey, man.

You mind a little company?

Actually, uh–

Oh, come on. Nobody likes drinkin’ alone. [groans] Although that’s exactly what I’d be doing if I didn’t find you sittin’ here right now. Last few days knocked me on my ass, as you can imagine.

Yeah, I know.

You know. Thinkin’ I was Victor’s son, CEO of Titan, heir to the fortune, marrying the woman I love, only to have her screw me right over. As, I’m guessing, she also did to you.

I think you know the answer to that one.

Yeah. Actually, I do. Which is why I’m also guessing why you’re back on the bottle. Am I right?

[mysterious music]

Baby. Oh–oh, my goodness. What–what’s going on?

I-I-I came in– I came in with Everett.

Everett? Well, what happened? Is everything all right?

You haven’t heard. Mom… Everett’s dead.

What?

Uh, Steve, wait a minute. Wait a minute. You need to tell me what’s going on here. Did John not come back from Greece with you?

He didn’t.

Well, then where is he?

I’m sorry, Marlena. I’m afraid John is missing.

Did you hear that?

Someone’s in there.

Okay, let’s call the police.

Okay. No, no, no. If Abby’s behind that door, I’m not wastin’ another second.

What–

Move, Jack.

All right. Oh, my God.

John?

I’m so sorry, Marlena. I shouldn’t have kept you in the dark.

Well, wh–when I– when I saw you here, I assumed you had found him.

I wish I had. But when I finally found Catharina’s grave and then the blood–

So what you’re saying is, not only do you not know where he is, you don’t even know if he’s alive.

[mysterious music]

John? John. Hey, hey.

Hey, John, it’s Chad. How badly are you hurt?

I’ve been worse.

Well, what are you doing here?

Ah, I could ask you two the same question.

Yeah, well, let’s focus on you.

Hey, Steve’s looking for you in Greece.

So I’m not in Greece?

No.

All right. So where the hell am I?

Poplar Bluff, Missouri.

Missouri? How the hell did I get here? And what the hell are you two doing here?

Baby, I– I didn’t even know that Everett was brought in tonight.

That’s because they took his body straight to the morgue. He died in his hotel room.

What happened?

He OD’d on some pills.

Pills?

Digoxin.

A cardiac medication? Well, what did he– was it an accidental overdose?

No, Mom. He left a note.

It’s okay, baby.

He was still alive when Jada and I got there. I watched him die. I know you’re used to seeing death every day, but I’ve never– [sniffles]

I know. I know. I’m sorry, so sorry.

Everett took his life because he was in so much pain. And I can’t help feeling like I let him down, like I didn’t do enough to save him.

Baby.

I doubt you know the gentleman with whom I spent the night. And for the record, this is a very uncomfortable conversation to be having with one’s son.

Agreed. So I’ll just give you these, in case the very charming gentleman decides to claim them.

Why are you looking at me like that? Men have casual sex all the time, and no one so much as bats an eyelid. Is your judgment because I’m your mother, or simply because I’m a woman?

I’m not judging you, Mom, at least not about that. Actually, look, can we just change the subject?

Hmm, excellent idea. As I was saying, Xander, I know how devastated you were when I disappeared out of your life. But you need to know it was truly not by choice. And I’ve dedicated years to working on my sobriety and improving my mental health. My motivation has always been the hope that one day I might have the opportunity to be the mother that you so deserve. So I need to know that you believe what I’ve told you is the truth.

I believe you.

Xander, that makes me so happy, so happy. And does that mean that you forgive me?

No, no drinking. This is just club soda.

Oh, what a relief. I was going to have to call little Maggie on you. Still going to your meetings?

Yeah, Alex, I’m going to meetings. But hey, I’m not about to discuss sobriety with a man who’s got scotch on his breath.

Oh, touché. I am glad it wasn’t Theresa that drove you to drink, though.

Yeah. I’ve been tempted. I can tell you that.

Man, I thought I was the chosen one. In reality, I’m just another loser, not even worth a mention in Victor’s will.

[clears throat]

No offense.

None taken. Well, hell, to the losers.

Hey, losers tonight, winners in general. And to Theresa. If I never see that woman again, it will be too soon.

We better call Marlena. She needs to hear your voice so she knows you’re okay.

Oh, I got nothing–

That’s all right.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Thanks, Jack. [phone ringing]

Jack, this isn’t a good time.

It’s me, Doc.

Oh, John. John, are you all right?

Yeah, I’m fine.

Oh, I-I’m– I’m here with Steve. He said that he went to Catharina’s grave. And he found your letter with blood on it. Tell me what’s going on. What is happening there?

Sweetheart, you cannot blame yourself with anything about Everett. You–you called an ambulance. You stayed with him.

I should have realized sooner that Bobby was still in control. He faked his re-emergence to get out of Bayview.

You think it was Bobby who took the pills?

Jada and I figured out that he had something to do with the attack on Rafe. So Jada questioned him. And he felt cornered. He must have felt there was no other way out. I just don’t see how Everett, any part of him could have done what Bobby did. God, Mom, maybe if I’d been more compassionate, more understanding.

Would you stop? Stop right there. He pushed you away. He did not want your help.

That was Bobby talking. And Mom, after he took the pills just before he died, Everett came back, and he told me that he loved me. But I didn’t get a chance to say it back.

Baby, baby, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.

And I loved him too, Mom. I really did.

It’s okay. It’s all right. It’s okay.

So you–you know what you’ve got planned next?

Not a clue, my man. Never close out the lease at the old apartment, though. So I might crash there.

I’m sure Justin would welcome you with open arms back to the mansion.

Yeah. Sure. Maybe. The place just has too many bad memories for me now. I moved back in there thinking it was going to be my new home. And, you know, just like I did at the nice, plush corner CEO office at Titan, and I thought it was all my birthright, being the favorite bastard son of the great Victor Kiriakis. Turns out that doesn’t belong to me.

Nope, belongs to Xander, who has not made a move to take over the family business as of yet.

Yeah, maybe that’s because I haven’t given it up yet.

Alex, I don’t think that’s going to stop him if that’s what he wants. I’m sure Xander has some very complicated feelings about the truth coming out, you know.

Yeah, maybe his feelings are complicated. But the facts are not. Xander is Victor’s son and heir, and everything that I thought was mine belongs to him now.

I just wish I’d known the truth from the beginning. My whole life, I believed I was just the black sheep son of black sheep Titus, shoveling black sheep manure, figuratively and literally.

I’m so sorry, Xander. In AA, they tell us to make amends to the people we’ve harmed, but perhaps asking for your forgiveness is asking too much.

I’ve also deeply hurt the people I love. And I’ve had to ask for more than my fair share of forgiveness. And more often than not, I’ve– I’ve received it. And I know that you suffered too for this lie, mom. But you went to treatment, and you’ve worked really hard, apparently, on your sanity and your sobriety. And I respect that, and I really appreciate it. So yes, I forgive you.

[tense music]

Oh, my goodness. I am so sorry you’re going through this. Listen, baby. I have an idea. Why don’t you come back and stay with me and your dad for a while? You know we would love it.

No, it’s okay. I just got settled back in my old apartment.

I know. But I just don’t like the idea of you being home alone.

I’ll be fine. I know where you are if I need you.

Yeah.

And it’s good for me to be independent again.

Yeah. Well, I had reservations about you moving back to that place, where you’d been with Chad, and his kids, and all those memories.

At least they were good memories, mostly. Chad just wasn’t ready to move on from Abigail.

Yeah.

Even back then… Maybe there was a part of him that knew that she might be alive.

Unless we were the cameras hiding, based on the angle of the video, it’s the only place it could be.

Oh, John, you have no idea what a relief it is to hear your voice. I’m getting on the next plane.

Not necessary. I’m coming home.

Oh. Listen, does this mean the whole thing is over?

I’ve made my peace with Catharina’s death, Doc. I’ll tell you about it when I get home. I love you. Miss you. Can’t wait to see you.

All of the above.

So John’s okay? Where is he? What’s he doing with my brother?

Thanks, Jack.

Mm-hmm.

You know, I’m a little confused. You said Steve went to Greece to try to find me. So what the hell are you two doing looking for me here?

We weren’t looking for you. You were the last person we expected to find.

So who are you looking for?

Abigail.

Look, Alex, I know you probably did a lot of inner soul searching recently. I know I have. But you’re still a Kiriakis, right? You found out Justin’s your dad. I mean, that’s a win, right?

Definitely. Justin, my dad, he’s been great through this whole thing, man. And look, I know how lucky I am to have all that I have. I’m just–

Sad, mad, frustrated. Trust me, I get all of it.

Yeah. How about you, man? I mean, you told me a few weeks ago you weren’t interested in Theresa at all. But I always had a feeling you were always protesting that a little too much.

All right. Me and Theresa, here’s the deal. My head and heart have never been on the same page with her. I’m just glad that my– my head took the lead this time, so I didn’t get in too deep with her.

Yeah. Well, I happen to have been completely submerged in the deep end.

You know what I’m doing? I’m laying off women. Done.

Oh, yeah? No–no chance of getting back with old Kristen?

Bite that tongue.

Oh, that woman is the devil.

Yes, she is. And that’s why hell is going to freeze over before I get together with her.

I don’t know.

Not gonna.

She’s dedicated to getting back with you.

Yeah, I’m well aware of that.

And now she thinks she’s got like a clear path. For sure.

Alex, let me draw this out. Theresa and I, toxic, right? Kristen and I, radioactive.

Hey, okay. Okay, okay. All right, forget it. Forget I even mentioned it. All right. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even take a little break from women.

That’s it. Yeah, that’s going to happen soon.

Yeah.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

Some things are easier than others. Bad habits are hard to break.

Hey, put–put the wallet away.

Oh, come on.

This is on–this is on me. I know your wallet took a little hit this week.

You know what? Thank you.

You’re welcome.

All right. I got you next time. Yeah, drink up.

See you, bud.

I’ll see you.

Xander, you don’t know how much this means to me.

Well, it’s better for me too. So much easier to focus all of my ire and resentment on one parent, you know.

You’re upset with Victor. I know. And how could you not be? But darling, he tried to make amends too, in his own way. He gave you his fortune. He wanted you to control Titan. By the way, when do you think you’re going to claim your birthright?

I don’t know, maybe never.

Why not?

Look, Victor gave me that CEO job once. And then he ripped it away from me. The guy treated me like dirt for years.

He’s always had very high standards for himself. And I’m sure he imposed those same standards on you, because he wanted to push you to be equally successful.

Mm-hmm. And wherever he is, he must be terribly disappointed.

I’m sure that’s not true. Victor was more proud of you than he ever let on. So tell me what you’ve been doing since you left Titan.

Oh, well, I– I’ve been involved in a variety of ventures, both licit and illicit. Most recently, I owned half of a newspaper, although I gave up my interest in it just the other day.

In exchange for what?

Repairing a relationship with an old friend.

How very noble of you. And now you’re considering rejecting the offer of running a multinational corporation? Don’t you have a fiancée, and a beautiful baby girl to provide for?

I mean, yeah. But Sarah is a doctor. She does just fine all by herself for both of us. And when it comes to Victoria, well, I’m more than happy to spend as much time with her as possible.

Is that a dig at me?

No, Mom. I-it’s just the truth about the kind of parent I want to be. I know that the opportunity was taken from you.

So now you’re going to be Mr. Mom. Doesn’t sound very like you, Xander.

I’ve wanted to be a father for a long time. And now that I am, and I’m loved by a good woman, it’s changed me. You don’t really know me anymore, Mom.

I do know that in the past, you have put yourself at a disadvantage– been self-destructive, if you will, out of guilt, or for whatever other reason. And I–believe me. I’m not saying this because I want my son to be rich and powerful. I’m saying it because Xander, I know how it killed Victor to keep this secret, how he really wanted to make amends for all the many ways in which he had failed you. You may call yourself Xander Cook, but you are Alexander Kiriakis. And you deserve to take your rightful place as Victor’s heir. So go, claim what’s yours.

Chad’s jealousy of Everett– that really hurt any chance that Chad and I had. And if I’m being honest, I was just as jealous of what Chad had with Abigail. Do you think there’s really a chance she could be alive?

Well, I think that stranger things have happened here in Salem. But I will say I would not believe anything that comes out of Clyde Weston’s mouth.

Chad and Uncle Jack are chasing down a lead.

Well, I hope they find the answers, one way or the other.

I do too. But what if they don’t? What if they never do? Chad could be stuck in limbo forever.

How did John end up in Missouri?

Well, he was in the cemetery in Greece, leaving the note for Konstantin’s daughter.

The one I found.

Yeah. And then–and then someone hit him from behind.

That explains the blood on the note.

The last thing he remembers is being dragged away before he blacked out.

Well, did he see who did it, who attacked him?

No. But thank God Jack and Chad found him. I mean, it was such an unlikely place.

Thanks, Jack.

So here’s the video. We had it enhanced.

Clyde claims that it proves that Abigail is still alive. But we don’t know when the thing was shot.

Yeah, we can’t even tell if it’s her.

Well, you know, he’s stringing you along, right? It’s his MO.

Well, it doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

No, I suppose it doesn’t.

We located this place by identifying, locating the billboard outside. Every other apartment in this place is empty.

And look, it looks like the same room, doesn’t it?

Well, judging by the angle of this video, I’d say, yeah, this is the room.

Okay. How long have you been here?

I don’t know. I’d have to say no more than a couple days.

Have you seen anyone?

Or anything that can lead us to Abby?

I’m–I’m glad we talked. You’ve given me a lot to think about.

Xander, I am so grateful for your kindness and your understanding.

I would still like for you to be there when Sarah and I get married, assuming you can get over your objection.

I don’t have an objection. I just wanted to make sure you were in the right frame of mind to make such a huge decision.

Well, I love Sarah. She’s the one that keeps me grounded and sane. So it’s in everyone’s interest that I marry her as soon as possible.

And if you take over the Kiriakis empire?

And if I do, I can multitask.

Of course you can. You can do anything you set your mind to. I’m sure of that.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mom. And when Sarah and I do tie the knot, feel free to bring a plus one. [phone beeping]

I had a feeling you’d be back.

[chuckles]

Forgot something?

Yeah. Actually, you forgot to throw these at me with the rest of my clothes when I made my escape out the third story window.

Yes. And how was your descent?

Dicey. But I’m fine, as you can see.

Well, Xander would have never known anyone was here if he hadn’t found your skivvies.

Skivvies. Skivvies, I like that. I like that. What’d you tell him?

I told him the truth– that I met a handsome stranger who I found quite charming.

I’m flattered. But if you don’t mind, I think I’m going to– I got to put these back on, actually.

Well, as a matter of fact, I do mind. I mind very much.

Alex, sorry. I didn’t think anyone would be here.

Oh, it’s–no, no, I was just cleaning up my desk. I’ll get out of your way.

It’s no worries. I know, it’s just awkward.

No, it’s not your fault. It’s not anybody else’s fault either, other than Theresa and Konstantin. This is all yours now.

Yeah, I’m just not sure if all this is where I belong.

Yeah.

Well, Alex, if you want to stay on in some capacity, I–

No, thank you.

Are you sure?

I am sure. You know, Xander, I know how much it upset you that Victor didn’t include you in his will.

Oh, I just wanted what you had. Now that I’ve got it, God knows what I’m going to do with it.

Well, you had a good run here once. So I’m sure the company is in good hands. And if you need anything, you know where to find me.

I appreciate that.

Sure. Uh, I almost forgot. It’s Victor’s watch. This belongs to you. Maggie gave it to me for Christmas.

I can’t accept that.

Xander, Maggie wanted his son to have it. That’s you. I’ll see you around.

I keep thinking about how Everett followed me here to Salem. How I wish he hadn’t.

Baby, don’t go down that path, all right? Look, you were willing to wait for him. You would do anything to help him to get well. And listen, I am– I am really sorry about what happened to him. But I’m also relieved that you won’t be stuck in limbo like that. Baby, baby, baby. I just love you so much. Come here. Come here, oh, baby. Oh, my gosh. I’m so sorry. I-I love you.

You know, I didn’t even ask John what Jack and Chad were doing there. Why–why were they in Poplar Bluff?

I bet they were looking for Abigail. Poplar Bluff is where Clyde Weston is from.

Hey.

Sweetness, got good news.

Oh.

John is okay.

What? Where is he?

Baby, you’re not going to believe this.

I’m afraid that I’ve been pretty out of it the last couple of days here. Everything is just a blur.

Yeah.

Someone, they brought in food for me when I was out cold. But I didn’t see anybody come or go. I don’t–I have no idea how I got here, or who’s holding me here.

Well, you probably already had a head injury. And it looks like they worked you over pretty well after that.

Yeah. Well, I’ll tell you what, Jack. When they come back, I will properly thank them for their hospitality.

No, no, no. I don’t think–we’re not sticking around for that. And you need medical attention.

Oh, yeah. On second thought, you’re right. Besides, I don’t want you two here when my captors come back.

What do you mean? No, I’m not going anywhere.

What?

No, I’m going to sit around and find out who these people are, see if they know anything about the woman in that video.

Wow. Wow. Thank God John is safe.

And I have so many questions for him.

I want to get some answers. I’m going to go home and wait for him.

Wait, before you go, there’s something about one of your patients you should know.

All right, which patient?

Everett Lynch.

Didn’t we say earlier that the third time in my bed is a charm?

We did.

Well, then Brady, I think this is our moment.

Maybe. [chuckling]

No, no, no, no, no, no, Chad. I don’t like this idea, Chad. And I’m going to tell you why. Number one, you’re unarmed. You don’t have a weapon. And number two, you have no idea who you’re dealing with.

I agree. I agree with John. Think about Thomas and Charlotte.

That’s what I am thinking about. Their mother could be alive and close by.

Look, let’s just call the police, all right?

No, I don’t want to risk scaring them away.

All right. Then I’m staying with you.

No, no you’re not. You’re not. You’re not. I’m giving you some immediate medical attention, all right?

Get him out of here. I’m good.

Chad.

Jack, you know I have to do this.

All right. All right. You be careful. You call me as soon as you know anything.

I hope you get the answers you need.

This is Abigail’s.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[soft dramatic music]

[sighs]

Wow. Quiet this morning?

Yeah. Well, your teenage grandson has yet to emerge from his bedroom, which means the daily debate of whether he can have his AirPods on at the breakfast table is gonna have to be postponed.

Well, maybe he’s just sleeping in.

[chuckles] He’s trying to sleep the day away so he can avoid the consequences of what he did last night.

Yeah. Well, it’s a shame about the prom, wasn’t it? Especially with Tate and Holly.

Yeah. It was very disastrous, especially when Theresa decided to drag Holly home from the hotel.

Yeah. I’m not sure that was necessary.

No. I–I– I think her anger was justified. We have–we told Tate from the very beginning, you are not allowed to see Holly Jonas, and he decided on his own to go ahead and defy us and– doesn’t happen all the time, but Theresa and I, we are of one mind about this. [soft dramatic music]

Hmm.

Oh, no. I–I– I know that face, and I know that “hmm.” And that’s when you’re keeping your own counsel, right?

You know me too well.

[chuckles] Hmm. You wanna to tell me what you think?

Only if you want to hear it.

Hey, a lot of people in this town pay big bucks for your insight, and one of the perks I get for living here is that I get it for free, so–

I’m wondering, uh, if your reaction has less to do with what Tate did and more to do with how you feel about his mother.

Wow. I’m surprised to see you up and about so early.

Hey, Bonnie.

Ooh. I figured you’d be sleeping in after prom night. How was chaperoning?

Oh, it was great, if you consider walking in in the nick of time to stop two kids from having sex together in a hotel room.

Oh, boy.

Yeah. “Oh, boy” is right. We caught Tate and Holly at the Good Old Salem Inn.

I thought those two weren’t supposed to be–

To be seeing each other? Yeah, no. They weren’t. We found out Tate has been sneaking around with that neurotic little liar, even after everything she did to try and ruin his life.

Oh. So I take it last night was a total disaster for everyone, then.

Not everyone. Mm.

Oh.

One thing went very right last night. [intriguing music]

Good morning, my love.

Oh! Good morning.

Hmm. What’s all this?

These are our wedding invitations. They just came from the printer.

Ah, yes.

Aren’t they beautiful?

They are. And may I just say how grateful I am that, unlike the most recent disastrous “almost” wedding we all had to endure, that you and I are gonna have a perfect wedding.

Definitely.

Especially for your mother’s sake, after everything she went through.

Yeah. That was quite an ordeal, that “almost” wedding to that miserable cretin.

That now-dead miserable cretin.

Thank God my mom laid a trap for that con man.

Yeah. Thank God.

[sighs] All right. No more talk about that vile SOB and the “almost” wedding. Let’s just focus on our upcoming nuptials.

Whatever you say, my beautiful bride. [gentle music]

Next time you want to visit me, do me a favor–just don’t. [somber music] Fine, Mother. I won’t. I will never visit you again. In fact, I never want to see you again. In fact, you can burn in–

no, you can’t, because you’re still my mother, And as sad as it is, I still want you to love me. I want that so bad.

Hey. You okay? [soft dramatic music]

[gulping] Mm. Oops.

[laughs] Oh, it’s you.

You look like you got some bad news.

It’s my mother.

Is she a patient here?

No, nothing like that. She’s in prison.

Oh. I’m sorry.

I just came from visiting her– to finally tell her that she has been wrong about me my entire life. I’m not a loser. I am lovable.

[sighs] I thought it was going to be this… Cathartic moment, this triumphant vindication. It turns out it was anything but. [soft chuckle] I don’t know why I’m surprised that that woman still has this uncanny knack to make me feel… utterly worthless and miserable.

[moans, winces]

Chanel, are you okay?

[deep breathing] Huh?

Chanel.

Are you okay?

Chanel, baby, what’s wrong?

It’s okay. I’m fine. I– [scream]

Oh! Chanel! Baby, what is it? What? [suspenseful music] [soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

There is nothing going on with Theresa and me. As a matter of fact, just the other day we– we talked about how we just need to focus on co-parenting Tate.

Well, I assume there was some reason you needed to talk.

Yeah. Uh, there–there was. Something happened.

Something?

[sighs] Yes. Look, we’d been getting closer because of what we’ve had to go through with Tate and, uh, there was um– a moment. We had a moment.

A moment?

Yeah.

That was all?

Yeah. I know it was just a moment. It was only a moment because right after the moment, Theresa said, “I want to be with Alex.” [soft dramatic music]

Mm. And, Brady, look at me. What do you want?

That is a big rock.

It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

Oh, it is. Looks like you spent a huge chunk of Victor’s money on it.

Well, Theresa’s worth it.

Aw.

[soft chuckle] When did all this happen? I mean, the proposal. That’s–

Yeah.

Sorry.

No, no. It’s last night. [phone ringing]

Oh. Oh, that’s my dad. I texted him earlier. I want to tell him the good news, so I’ll be right back, okay?

Okay. [sighs]

So have you told your father?

Actually I did have a bit of a conversation with him right before I popped the question.

I mean Justin.

So should I start licking?

Excuse me?

I was talking about the invitations, obviously– the envelopes, specifically.

Yes, right. [chuckles] No. I’m taking these to my mom’s house because she has the entire family’s addresses in this very old handwritten, very battered book. And Bonnie said that she would help me stuff the envelopes, so–

[snarls]

You get to stay here with our very adorable teeny tiny.

Oh. Well, that would be an honor and a privilege.

She’s very lucky to have such a great dad.

I’m the lucky one. Hey, say hi to your mom for me.

I actually shall.

Oh, did I mention the chat I had with her yesterday?

Mm-mm.

I was just telling her how much I hated Konstantin for everything he did to her and Uncle Vic and Victoria and everything. And, I have to say, her response– it threw me.

What’d she say?

Oh, she was telling me that I was a lot like Victor, and that maybe because he saw so much of himself in me, that’s why he was so hard on me.

Oh, God. I slobbered all over you.

No. It’s okay. Here.

You’re being very nice. Thank you.

Well, I have been told I have an excellent bedside manner.

You’re a doctor.

Is it the stethoscope that gave it away? Mark Greene.

Leo Stark. Wait a minute. Dr. Mark Greene, like on “ER.”

I guess having that name and watching that show made me think there was no choice but to go into medicine.

Oh, boy. So you are all that, and you’re a doctor. I had a doctor boyfriend once. He was much older, and he was married to a woman. TMI. Sorry.

No. It’s okay.

Look, I may have slobbered on you, but I want you to know I was not drooling or anything. I mean, since you told me the other day that you’re not gay.

Did I say that?

Yeah, you did. Why? Is it not true?

Maybe we should get you to a hospital. And I’ll– I’ll call Dr. Greene.

No, no, no. We don’t need to do that. I think it’s just bad– [hisses] Cramps.

Could it be indigestion? Johnny, do you have any of those oyster crackers on you?

Yeah, yeah. They’re in– there in Chanel’s bag.

Oh.

[panting] It’s fine. I–I think it’s fine now.

Oh, no. You just keep these close by just in case. Oh. Oh, I remember when I was pregnant with you. My tummy did all kind of loop-de-loops all day long. When Abe gets back from the pub with the food, you’ll feel better.

Yeah. Yeah. I’m in the mood for a burger.

Mm-hmm. I made sure that he ordered extra pickles. Oh, you don’t even have to wait for those. I have a whole jar in the kitchen.

[screams loudly]

Okay, okay. No. Oh. That’s it. We’re getting you to the hospital. Come on.

Oh.

Come on. Come on. [dramatic music]

Oh, my goodness. Oh.

I don’t think my feelings really matter here.

Brady, your feelings always matter.

Well, look. Theresa–Theresa chose Alex. I accepted it, and I’m moving on, and I’d love to change the subject, actually.

Okay. I’m sorry to bring up a topic that’s uncomfortable for you to talk about.

Oh. I appreciate your concern, I really do. It’s just times out of I– I absolutely value your input, but this particular subject, just not right now.

Understood. All right. Well, I am going to go and talk to the people that pay me the big bucks.

You’re worth every penny.

Thanks. I’m always on your side, you know.

I know you are, and I thank you for that. [intriguing music]

[sighs]

Actually, no. I have not had the chance to tell Justin about my engagement to Theresa.

Why not? You know what? Call him right now.

I–I don’t think that’s news that he wants to hear right now.

Why wouldn’t it be?

Well, Justin and I had a bit of a disagreement about my relationship with Theresa.

Oh. I assume that’s because he knows that you found your fiancée, before she was your fiancée, in bed with Brady.

Right. Yeah. And Justin seems to believe that that actually meant something to Theresa– being with Brady, I mean.

Why? Do you think it didn’t–

Oh, I know it didn’t, Bonnie, because I had the conversation with Theresa. And she only did it to make me jealous.

Oh, honey. Look, this might be the pot calling the kettle black, but when a woman is trying to manipulate a man’s feelings, it means she’s really trying to manipulate a man’s feelings.

Okay. Well, Bonnie, I don’t want to have the same talk with you that I just had with Justin.

Honey, he cares about you. He doesn’t want to see you get hurt.

And that’s very kind, but I’m a big boy now.

And you were once Justin’s little boy. Look, I know he’s not your biological father, but that doesn’t change the fact that he has this big love for you in his heart. He is protective of you, and so am I.

Okay. I don’t need protection from Theresa.

Are you so sure about that? Honey, we both know she doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to relationships. And now, honey, you’re not only super hot, you’re also super rich, so come on. Don’t you think you could do better?

[soft chuckle] Really? [clears throat] [soft tense music]

Baby, I know that you’ve been struggling with the fact that you and Victor weren’t close when he died. You know that, deep down, he did love you.

Way deep down.

No. You did get along. What about when he made you CEO of Titan?

Oh. Only to undermine and replace me with Philip? I mean, I suppose we got along when he needed my help with Kristen’s baby– passing her off as your daughter.

Yeah. You only did that because you couldn’t stand the thought of me losing Mickey. And I know how much you’ve regretted that.

Oh, God. And I still do. It’s unthinkable to me now, trying to replace one child with another. I mean, no one could ever replace our precious girl.

No. No, never. And I thank God that I finally came to my senses and told you that Victoria is yours.

Oh, Sarah. When we were together back then, as happy as I was, I was just so worried the whole time that the other shoe was gonna drop. And as close as I felt to Victor back then, I– part of me knew that he was just using me to do his dirty work. So yeah, maybe he did see a bit of himself in me. That’s why he had me do all the terrible things he didn’t want to admit that he was capable of.

You know that that’s not true.

Then why? [soft dramatic music] Why, when he had his last chance to really show me how he felt…

why didn’t he leave me in his will?

You said you weren’t gay. Maybe you’re bi? Bi-curious? Had a crazy night in college?

Hey. We need help. Dr. Greene.

What’s going on?

[moan] I’m having cramps. [breathing sharply] Really, really bad cramps.

Doctor, you need to help my baby.

I’m going to.

she’s been in a lot of pain, and it seems to come and go, but it feels like it’s getting worse.

Okay. Let’s get you into another room and take a look, okay?

[moans] [screams]

Oh!

Oh. So how is it now?

It’s–it’s still pretty bad, but it comes and goes, like Johnny said.

Miss Price, uh, I need you to step outside for a few minutes.

Wh–what? No. I’m staying– I’m staying right here. I’m not going to leave her here alone.

I am here, Paulina, okay?

Mama, please, please.

Oh. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I’ll be right outside the whole time. You holler if you need me. [soft dramatic music]

[winces, moans]

Let’s see how your baby’s doing, okay?

Okay. Okay. [moans] I have– I was trying to hold it together in front of my mom, ’cause I don’t want to worry her, but– but something is happening to me, Doctor. I’m scared. I’m really, really scared.

Hey, hey. I’m here. I’m here, okay? Everything is gonna be fine, I promise.

[breathing heavily]

Oh, Dr. Evans.

Oh, Leo. Do we have an appointment?

No, not today. And I swear, I didn’t know you were gonna be here. I absolutely respect your ” I can only help you maintain your fragile grip on your sanity during scheduled times” policy.

Leo, it’s all right.

No, it’s not. We have an appointment scheduled tomorrow. I can find a way to white knuckle it until then. [soft dramatic music]

Okay, fine. I’ve got a few minutes before my next patient arrives.

Really? Are you sure?

I’m sure, I’m sure. Let’s do this.

Theresa. I meant to tell you how good you look today.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Huh. I meant to tell you how embarrassed you look right now. Anyone want to tell me why it’s suddenly okay for Bonnie to trash-talk me behind my back?

Well, it’s nothing I wouldn’t say to your face.

Aw.

Justin has some concerns, that’s all, about you–

About you and me being together, and I just told Bonnie that whatever concerns they may have, I trust you wholeheartedly. And I’m committed to spending the rest of my life with you.

Thank you, Alex.

Of course.

[sighs] But you, Bonnie, I don’t understand the sudden . If I recall, it was just recently you were very supportive of my involvement with Alex.

Well, yeah. That was before I had the discussion of your involvement with him with my husband.

Oh. I see. Great. Okay. So Justin has turned you against me.

No. He’s just protective of his son. I mean, Alex. I–[inhales] You know, on a happier note, wedding bells will be ringing throughout this house for lots of people. In fact, Sarah’s on her way over so I can help her send out her wedding invites.

Oh. That won’t take too long. [soft chuckle] I just meant that it’s probably a really short list since Xander doesn’t really have many friends. [chuckles]

[sarcastic chuckle] Yeah. Well, on his side, it might be a little light, but I’m sure a few of us won’t mind moving over just to fill the void. Besides, I want to rub elbows with the mother of the groom.

What?

Yes. Sarah has her heart set on inviting Xander’s mother to the wedding.

Well, it’s not like you were singled out to be excluded from Victor’s will. He didn’t leave anyone a penny except for my mom and Alex. And he only left Alex something to make up for the fact that he never acknowledged him as a son.

Right. I understand that I’m not the only person my uncle snubbed, but I don’t know. It really was his last chance to show me that I meant something to him, and I– I can’t believe I’m wasting time grieving the love lost to that old fool. [soft dramatic music]

Well, I do hope that Victoria and I can make up for the things that Victor didn’t give you.

That is a wonderful start.

Is it?

Mm.

We’re gonna have to finish this later, though.

I’ll hold you to that.

Yeah. I really do have to go. But before I do, are you sure that you don’t want to take another shot at trying to find your mom?

That number I gave you from my mom– that was the last one I had for her. I told you that. You know, so maybe let’s just take– take this as fate’s way of saying it’s best I don’t find her.

Look, I– I know that you and your mom have had issues, but I– don’t you–

But you’re super-duper eager for her to be at the wedding. I get it. And it’s understandable that– you want Victoria to know her grandmother. [soft dramatic music]

I just– I don’t want you to be saddled with the same regret that you have about Victor and not mending fences before you lost him.

Maybe there is one other way we could reach my mom.

I thought that Xander lost touch with his mother.

Oh, yeah, he did. That’s why Sarah is trying to, you know, get them to get back in touch, mend fences, if you will. That’s why she wants to invite her to the wedding.

Are they sure that’s a good idea? both: Why wouldn’t it be?

I–I don’t know. I just–[chuckles] heard that she’s a raging alcoholic. I mean, do they want someone like that around their kid?

You know, just because someone has a substance abuse problem, they shouldn’t be shunned. Maybe she’s changed, like you.

Mm.

Mm. Of course, yeah. You’re right. But, you know, I’m kind of concerned for Sarah. You know, what if this woman just shows up and causes a huge scene?

[laugh] Oh, honey. We’re kind of used to scenes around here, especially at weddings, right?

Mm.

Right.

[chuckles]

Theresa, you seem awfully concerned about Xander’s mom showing up in Salem. Something you want to tell us?

[crying] So I went to see my monster of a mother this morning.

You went to the prison?

Isn’t that what you told me to do, so I can quiet her nasty voice that’s been echoing in my head all these years?

Yes, but I meant that would be something that we would work on here in therapy.

Oh. I thought it would be wise to go and do it in person, you know, face to face.

Oh. I guess I didn’t go too well, huh?

No, it didn’t go well. It was a disaster, a calamity, a catastrophe, and a dumpster fire all rolled up into one.

What did she say?

She brought out all her greatest hits. Said I was worthless, unlovable, a degenerate… And that I deserved all of the misery that had befallen me. Befallen, is that a word?

That’s a word. That must have been so hard for you to hear.

[sighs] [somber music] I should have expected it, but still, under the heading of “hope springs eternal,” I guess I hoped that she would take me into her arms and tell me that she had a major epiphany, and that I was the greatest gift God had ever given her. Though, she is a shameless heathen. She never would have invoked God.

You know, just because your mother said those things does not mean they’re true.

Then why does it feel that way when she says them?

Leo. [gentle acoustic music] As children, we depend on our parents just to thrive. If they tell us things, then we believe it, because contradicting anything would– I don’t know–would just jeopardize our own existence. You’re no longer a child. You’re no longer dependent on your mother, so there’s no reason to give her the power over you.

Right. No reason.

Right. You can do anything you like. You can be yourself, you can be proud of yourself, you can even love yourself.

[sighs] Yeah. I’m not a little boy who needs his nose wiped anymore. I can wipe my own nose. I am my own man. [chuckles] And that hunky doctor seemed to think I was worth talking to.

What hunky doctor is that?

[breathing shakily]

I’m just gonna do a quick ultrasound, see if we can figure out what’s going on.

Okay.

Here. [monitor beeping] Felicity’s stuffie.

Yeah. Hey. Everything is gonna be okay, all right? My love, Dr. Greene is taking good care of you and of our little one too.

Okay. [suspenseful music]

Dr. Greene?

I’m very sorry, Chanel. I’m afraid you’ve had a miscarriage.

[gasps]

[gasps] Wait. A miscarriage?

I– I don’t understand. We were just here. You said everything was fine.

Everything did look fine, but that changed, obviously.

So those soft markers that you were telling us about, is that what caused this?

A spontaneous loss like this can happen for any number of reasons, and it’s not unusual. I’m sure this is cold comfort right now, but in pregnancies ends in miscarriage. [somber music]

I’m gonna send a– I’m gonna send a specialist in to examine you, see if I can get you any more answers. Again, Chanel, Johnny, I’m so sorry for your loss.

[sobbing]

So I met this totally gorgeous doctor the other day. But at the time I didn’t know he was a doctor, just this handsome guy out for a run, and he was thirsty. And I happened to have a glass of water to give to him. And it looks like what goes around comes around, because today he found me at the nurse’s station a complete wreck. He took me into his muscular arms, and he comforted me. And he gave me this. Who said chivalry is dead?

Leo, you just met this man.

Oh, Dr. Evans, don’t worry. I’m not getting my hopes up for a romance or anything like that. He told me he wasn’t gay.

I see.

But then he acted surprised when I reminded him that he said that. Do you think maybe he is gay?

Well, I don’t know.

Well, maybe you know him, and maybe you’ve gotten something of a vibe from him–Dr. Mark Greene?

Mark Greene? I’ve heard the name, but I don’t think that I’ve met him.

Maybe you’ve heard some chat about him over at the water cooler?

Well, if there were any chat at the water cooler…

Mm-hmm?

I wouldn’t repeat it–

No.

Nor would I speculate about it.

Okay. Fine. Well, whether he’s gay or not, he and I had a moment, a lovely moment. [chuckles]

I’m so glad to hear that for you, but you don’t know anything about this man, no information at all about him. So I–I think you shouldn’t read too much into this. Leo.

Hmm.

I wouldn’t like to see you get hurt.

Thank you. Unlike my mother, who lives to see me hurt. In fact, I feel like that’s been her goal since I was born, and I will bet she is in her cell right now, gloating over how bad she made me feel this morning.

Why don’t we talk about that during our next session?

Oh, no. Are we out of time?

I’m afraid we are.

All right. So tomorrow, I guess, we can figure out why it is I want love from my horrible mother, who referred to me as a miserable dead loss. She actually called me that.

Leo, you are a very worthwhile human being. I’m especially impressed with your desire to get to know yourself, understand your history, and come to terms with the, well, emotionally abusive mother you had– and your father, from what you told me.

Yes, both of them. Okay. So tomorrow, we will work on getting me to embrace the fact that I am a worthwhile person, as you say.

Yes, we will do that.

Great. Then I will see you tomorrow for our actual session.

I will see you tomorrow. [gentle music]

I’m not so much concerned about Xander’s mother, per se. But look. After what happened here with Konstantin, I think we all need to be a little bit wary about just inviting long-lost family and friends to come over out of the blue.

Okay, I get it. Yeah. But you’re not gonna have to worry about Xander’s mother showing up. The number he had for her wasn’t hers anymore. They just don’t know even how to track her down.

Mm.

Oh. [clicks tongue] That’s too bad.

Mm. Well, at least you don’t have to worry about any surprise guests showing up at our wedding. I’ve already found all my long-lost relatives.

[chuckles]

Yeah. Let’s hope that’s true.

It is true for sure. Anyway, I have to get to work.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye, Bonnie.

Oh. Bye, honey.

Bye.

[chuckles] [tense music]

[sighs] God.

Got it. Hey. You can expect that invitation in the mail. [chuckles, sighs] That long shot paid off.

Who was that?

My mom’s sister, Aunt Maisie. They never got along, so I just didn’t think my mom would be in contact with her.

But she was?

Apparently. Yeah. My mom hit her up for money a few months ago.

Are you kidding?

No. But she didn’t have my mom’s phone number, but she did have her address.

[gasps] [soft dramatic music]

[sighs] [tense music]

[breathing heavily]

Brady.

Hey.

Hey. Man, I’m sorry to hear about last night.

What happened last night?

Uh, the prom?

The prom. Yeah, yeah. I’m sure Theresa told you that we found Tate and Holly in a hotel room–

Mm.

And then Theresa dragged Holly out of said a hotel room. It was–it was lots of fun.

Mm. Especially for the kids, I’m sure.

I’m actually surprised Theresa didn’t call me and let me know what EJ and Nicole’s reaction was to the whole thing.

Well, she was kind of busy last night, partly my fault.

Why is that your fault?

I proposed. [solemn guitar music] Theresa and I are engaged.

Bonnie, thank you so much for offering to help.

Oh, honey.

Addressing these invites is gonna be a lot easier with both of us doing it.

I am so happy to assist, and your mom already gave me her address book.

Okay. Well, we just have to add one more address to it.

Okay. Whose would that be?

Xander’s mom.

[sighs] Ooh! – I know. We managed to track her down after all.

Oh. [chuckles]

I’m very excited. [laughter]

It’s exciting. Okay. Let’s see.

Hey, little one. Did you hear all that? Apparently there’s a chance now that you’re gonna meet your Grandma Cook. Oh, look at that big smile. You’re excited about it, huh? [soft tense music] I’m afraid that makes one of us.

Part of being a doctor, I know, delivering bad news, but to tell these two that they lost their baby, and so soon after I told them everything was fine. You always know the right thing to say. Same here. See you tonight. [phone beeps]

[clears throat]

Oh. Hey, Leo.

Dr. Greene, I was hoping I’d run into you so I could return your hankie.

Forget it. Keep it.

Thanks. I’m sorry to hear you had to deliver bad news. So was that a friend on the phone? A significant other? I’m sorry. That’s none of my business.

No. It’s okay. It was my girlfriend, actually.

Girlfriend, right, of course. [melancholic music]

I better get going. Excuse me.

Okay.

[sighs] Well, that answers that.

[sobbing]

Oh. Dr. Greene said I could come back in. Well, what happened? [dramatic music]

We lost the baby.

What?

[sobbing]

Oh, no. Oh, my God. Oh, oh. How–how did that happen?

It happened because of what you did. This is all your fault.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: So, zende got delayed. He’ll be here shortly, he says.

Brooke: Okay. If you change your mind and you want somebody else to do this, just let me…

Ridge: What are you doing? We talked about this.

Brooke: Well, it’s just…

Ridge: It’s just what? You’re gonna blow them away the same way you blew ’em away when you first did this campaign.

Brooke: You do wonders for my ego, mr. Forrester.

Ridge: I have every confidence in you.

Brooke: Mwah.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Is that the…

Ridge: The original bed from the original campaign? No, it’s not, but it’s very close.

Steffy: Yeah, we retired the original one. Too many miles on it.

Poppy: Are you sure you have to go?

Bill: Mm. [Chuckles] When you kiss me like that, I’m not sure of anything.

Poppy: You know, we could just crawl back into bed and…

Bill: Yeah?

Poppy: …Pick up where we left off last night.

Bill: That’s very tempting.

Poppy: I just want to be close to you, bill. Especially after…

Bill: After what?

Poppy: After katie coming over here and drilling me, asking question after question, saying how determined she is to get answers. I know you two were married and you share a child, but… it was really unnerving.

Bill: You have to trust me. In my case, probably well deserved. But I have been on the receiving end of katie’s third degrees. I understand that you’re feeling a bit unnerved. Listen to me. You have nothing to worry about with my ex-wife. Katie’s harmless.

Katie: Wow. No wonder bill was at that festival. It’s one breakout act after another. And some new bands, too.

[Gasps] Oh, my gosh. He was there. Tom starr was playing at the festival.

Hope: Well, I’m so excited for you, mom. It has been too long.

Ridge: I agree. And so do all her fans all around the world. They’ve been clamoring for something like this for a long time.

Steffy: Brooke and her infamous red teddy sprawled out on that infamous brass bed.

Brooke: Hmm. My sprawling days are over, steffy. But I do still have that red teddy. You could even ask your father.

[Phone chimes]

Ridge: Trust me, she has it. Okay, zende’s gonna be here very soon. You’re gonna rock this photo shoot.

Brooke: Thanks, honey.

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Brooke: Your father has a lot of faith in me.

Hope: Well, we all do. You’re going to be fabulous, mom. Won’t she, steffy?

[Bill whistles]

Bill: Jam-packed today. Think you can squeeze me in?

Deacon: Oh, they just keep on coming, don’t they? What do you want, spencer?

Bill: Health department hasn’t shut you down yet? I mean, rats are one thing. You got a couple of dead bodies in here and you’re still open?

Deacon: For your information, the authorities and the health department have checked us out and il giardino is clean.

Bill: Well, clearly, word hasn’t gotten out yet.

Deacon: Well, when it does, we’ll be back up and running, but it’s not gonna be the same.

Bill: I imagine not. You got two employees that croaked in here.

Deacon: They were more than that. They were my friends.

Bill: Well, I hate to say it, but being your friend seems to be hazardous to one’s health. I mean, you got two mysterious deaths in here from drug overdoses just a few days apart. Cops come up with anything yet?

Deacon: All I get from them is “the investigation is ongoing.”

Bill: So nothing.

Deacon: I just keep going over in my head. What if it wasn’t really an overdose?

Bill: The toxicology reports came back, right?

Deacon: Yeah. No, it did. It confirmed that they both od’D. But what it didn’t say is how it happened or why it happened. It doesn’t even say if tom and hollis realized it. What if they were targeted? You know, what if somebody actually specifically wanted to kill tom and hollis, but they made it look like an overdose, when in reality, it was a murder? I mean, if that’s how it went down, bill, that means somebody else is still out there, and they may be ready to strike again.

[Birds chirping]

Katie: Hello, poppy.

[Poppy gasps]

Poppy: Katie. What are you doing here?

Katie: Oh. You’re not happy to see me?

Poppy: After last time? The things you said?

Katie: Well, I had questions, and you weren’t very forthcoming, so I didn’t have any choice.

Poppy: Well, what is that supposed to mean?

Katie: I said I was gonna learn everything about you, and it turns out I have learned something absolutely fascinating. You see, I did a little research on that music festival where you and bill met, that fateful night that brought the two of you, um, together. And as it happens, there was someone else at that festival. Someone on the stage. Tom starr. This powerful im

Hope: Well, it’s no secret

Hope: Well, it’s no secret that you’re not exactly thrilled about my mom being front and center again.

Steffy: I just don’t think we should be going down this road again.

Ridge: Okay, let’s take it easy, you guys, please.

Hope: No, ridge, it’s fine. I’m just curious as to why steffy feels this way.

Steffy: Brooke has been in the spotlight for years as the face of brooke’s bedroom line.

Hope: Very successful years.

Steffy: Absolutely. That’s true. But I–

Brooke: Okay, but… I am older now. Maybe I shouldn’t try to recreate this magic.

Ridge: Don’t do this. You look as amazing as ever.

Hope: I agree.

Ridge: Which is exactly why you’re gonna make this powerful impact on women of all ages all over the world.

Hope: And that’s why it is so important, not just for brooke’s bedroom, but to also show that true beauty doesn’t fade with age.

Ridge: Right. And anyone can see that.

Brooke: Oh, thank you for the vote of confidence.

Finn: Hey. Pam said you’d be backstage.

Steffy: Oh, finn, you have no idea how glad I am to see you.

Bill: Well, you’ve got a lot on your plate, deacon. No pun intended.

Deacon: Tell me about it. The restaurant’s in the skids. I gotta do something, something to bring the customers back, let them know that it’s safe to be here. But the truth of it is, I just don’t have it in me right now. All I can think about is the senseless way that tom and hollis died.

[Phone dinging] I gotta take this. Excuse me.

Justin: Dollar bill. Just the man I was looking for.

Bill: Well, we gotta stop meeting like this or people are gonna talk.

Justin: Yeah. Yeah. So, did you get the tickets I sent over? Astros. Dodgers. In houston. All accommodations taken care of. Now the box just may happen to be next to howard, who just may be wanting to put his stations back online unless there is a media titan who, in my opinion, can structure m&a’s better than anyone else and can strike a deal while taking in the old ball game.

[Both chuckle]

Bill: Listen, justin, I– I’m just really glad that we were able to work through our issues.

Justin: Yeah.

Bill: All right? And we made the impossible possible. It’s good to have you back with us.

Justin: We did. Good to be back. Good to be back, man.

Deacon: Justin.

Justin: Hey.

Deacon: What are you doing here?

Bill: Oh, we’re just, uh, talking–talking some ball here. I was just talking to deacon about these mysterious deaths that have taken place right here in il giardino.

Deacon: You were here that night. I saw you.

Justin: Yeah. Um… so, how are you holding up?

Deacon: Well, I’m just trying to get to the bottom of this whole thing. By the way, did I mention to you that I, uh–I checked the security cameras from before. There was a power outage the night that hollis died.

Bill: You think that’s significant?

Deacon: Maybe. Maybe not. Could just be a coincidence.

Bill: Well, if you’re thinking foul play was involved, I would suggest you look no further than your wifey.

Deacon: Police took sheila in for questioning. They released her. My bride had nothing to do with it, but somebody could have. The question is who.

Katie: Tom starr performed that night at the music festival. Well, he also recently overdosed at il giardino, a restaurant that you and bill frequent often.

Poppy: Well, what are you getting at?

Katie: Well, I just think it’s awfully coincidental, don’t you? I mean, the same guy that performed before you and bill at a music festival in san francisco also performed at il giardino.

Poppy: I guess so. And, yeah, now that you mentioned it, I do recall that tom starr did perform at that festival. But, um, why are you bringing it up?

Katie: Well, that was the same night where you claim luna was conceived.

Poppy: I’m not claiming it, katie. It’s the truth.

Katie: And bill’s the father. That’s your story and you’re sticking to it? Force factor total beets is the number one

Steffy: Yeah, you. Oh, my gosh. My favo

Finn: For you.

Steffy: Thank you. Oh, my gosh. My favorite latte. You are the sweetest.

Finn: Well, I figured you could use a little pick-me-up. You said it might be a long day for you.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s been a long day. I needed this.

Finn: I got you.

Bill: Oh, deacon, my man, you must be an awfully trusting guy.

Deacon: She was my wife. Of course I trust her.

[Bill chuckles]

Justin: I’m not sure how smart that is, considering her track record.

Deacon: Well, she’s not the same woman anymore.

[Bill laughs]

Bill: Okay, if you say so.

Deacon: Listen. I know that you both hate sheila’s guts, but don’t come into my restaurant and badmouth my wife, okay? I don’t do that to you. I don’t show contempt for the new woman in your life.

Bill: Are you referring to poppy?

Deacon: Let me ask you something. How would you feel if I started taking potshots at her, talking about her past and trashing it?

[Bill laughs]

Bill: Wait a second. Is this clown trying to compare poppy to sheila carter? Are you? ‘Cause if so, you must have spent just way too much time pounding out those license plates in prison and it somehow diminished your mental capacity.

Justin: Come on, deacon. Those two women are polar opposites in every way.

Deacon: Look, if poppy makes you happy, bill, that’s terrific. Just don’t come in here talking about the woman who makes me happy.

Justin: Okay. We’re gonna change the subject.

Bill: No, no, no, no, no, no. Not so fast. I wanna make something crystal clear for the convict, all right? You’re right. Poppy does make me happy. And she has given me a beautiful daughter that I am thrilled with. And having both of those women in my life makes me a very lucky man.

Deacon: Just like I’m a lucky man to have sheila in mine.

Bill: Well, there’s one big difference, though. You hooked up with a known murderer. I didn’T.

Poppy: I don’t appreciate what you’re implying, katie.

Katie: I’m just asking some questions, just looking for some answers. I’m trying so hard to understand why you waited 20 years to do a paternity test. It doesn’t make any sense.

Poppy: Okay, well, not that it’s any of your business, but bill never reached out after that night and I was hurt.

Katie: But you did know his history. Spencer publications. The fact that he was rich and powerful.

Poppy: No, I did not. Because despite what my sister li loves to tell everyone, I am not now nor have I ever been a gold digger. So, yeah, it took me a long time to build up the nerve to do a paternity test.

Katie: And to let the world know that luna is bill’s daughter.

Poppy: It’s true, katie.

Katie: A daughter who was conceived on the same night that tom starr was performing. Tom starr, who worked at il giardino and mysteriously died of a drug overdose.

Poppy: What are you getting at?

Katie: I just want to know if you and tom starr had a relationship. Was he your lover?

Ridge: Look at me.

[Brooke sighs] You’re gonna prove to women all over the world that beauty is timeless. You’re not getting older. You’re just getting better. Look at you. You look as great as you did 20 years ago. No, you don’T. You don’T. You look better than you did 20 years ago.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: That gorgeous smile and that twinkle in your eye and the way you–you have that zest for adventure. You love life. And you’re mine. You’re my logan. I love you.

[Steffy sighs]

Finn: What’S…

Steffy: In case you haven’t guessed, I’m not too excited that this shoot is featuring brooke.

Finn: Yeah, I kind of picked up on that.

Steffy: You know who’s excited about it? Hope. She’s loving every minute that her mother’s in the spotlight.

Hope: I find you attractive. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about you and what it would be like to be with you.

Ridge: I gave your mom a final pep talk, and I think I got through to her.

Brooke: He’s relentless.

Hope: Oh, well, that’s because he knows what I know, which is that you are going to be awesome. Seriously, mom, you’re going to rock this. And I am so, so proud of you.

[Brooke laughs]

Brooke: Oh! Thank you, sweetie.

Deacon: I think I got a pretty good idea about how you two feel about sheila, but she had nothing to do with what happened to tom and hollis. And if she did, she’d be behind bars right now. But if there is more to this…

Justin: And what do you mean, more?

Deacon: Murder, justin. Cold-blooded, premeditated murder.

Poppy: All right, well, I don’t know what you’re trying to insinuate, katie, but, you know, this is…

Katie: I’m just pointing out some coincidental facts. The same night, an epic night that happened all those years ago that you’ve never been able to forget. That night that luna was conceived, tom starr just happened to be performing. Tom starr, who mysteriously overdosed at il giardino, a restaurant that you and bill go to quite often. I mean, did you know that tom worked there? Did you ever see him?

Tom: Luna needs to know who her real dad is.

Poppy: She does know her real dad–bill spencer.

Tom: No, that’s a lie. You trapped that poor sucker. And worse, you’re lying to our daughter.

Poppy: For the last time, she is not your daughter. The paternity test proved it.

Tom: Bull, poppy. Listen, I’ve kept my distance, but it’s time for luna to know the truth.

Katie: You seem really uneasy with this questioning about tom. Why is that, poppy?

Poppy: This is just the most absurd line of questioning I have ever heard. What are you trying to do, link me to that poor man’s death?

Katie: Well, I wasn’t gonna say anything, but since you brought it up. His overdose. Did you have anything to do with it? Are you a liar? A gold digger? Are you a murderer?

Poppy: All right, just stop it, okay? Just stop it. Stop with these absurd accusations.

Katie: Or you’ll do what? Huh? You’ll do what?

Here’s a look at what’s ahead.

Man: Have you checked your pockets?

Steffy: Where’s my passport?

Brooke: Monaco, here we come.

Katie: It doesn’t make sense. I don’t trust her.

Bill: What are you talking about?

Poppy: Tom was claiming to be luna’s father.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ah, good morning, Mother.

Oh. Good morning. Did you sleep well?

Did I sleep well? [laughs] So much better than Statesville. So much better than the monastery and that Podunk motel room in Montana. No, this was amazing. It was like the Ritz, which is nice.

Good.

Yeah. Although I did hear someone crying last night, I think. Maybe I dreamt it.

Uh, no, that would be Ava. Roman just told me that Harris broke her heart, left town. Apparently, he’s following a lead on Megan Hathaway.

Wow. I hope he finds her.

[chuckles] Well, knowing Megan, he has a better chance of finding Amelia Earhart.

Yeah. I guess you’re right about that. I just wish that I had a chance to say goodbye and thank him, you know, for making the moves to get me out of jail finally.

Yeah. Well, he took long enough. I mean, I forgive him now because I have my son back.

Yeah. Yeah, you do. But not for long.

Oh, Chad. Thank God! You didn’t come home last night. I was so worried about you.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Well, where’d you go?

Well, I went to Salem PD, and they said that Clyde had been shipped off to Supermax. So I drove all the way out to this, you know, citadel of a–of a prison.

Why would you want to do that? [tense music]

[chuckles] Look what I found. [chuckles] Jules left her little blankie.

[laughs] Well, this must be Carver’s.

Oh, well, I just have to put them both in the mail.

Yeah. Or we would have a good excuse for asking Eli and Lani to bring those twins back here for a visit.

[chuckles] I like the way you think.

[laughs]

I can’t believe it, Abraham. I just said goodbye to one daughter, and I’m about to say goodbye to my Chanel, and yet another grandbaby growing up thousands of miles away.

Well, you know, Johnny and Chanel might be back here before you know it. Oh, and besides, you are going to be plenty busy.

What do you mean by that? [soft music] “Radioactive Mayor Victoria says recall effort fails.”

[laughs] Congratulations, Mrs. Mayor.

Can you believe my grandma knitted us little baby booties?

Marlena Evans, a woman of many talents. You had any room in your suitcase for them? Because I can’t fit another thing.

What? Really? They’re going to take up like square inches. Okay, we’ll put them in mine.

Mm-hmm.

That’s–

That’s what I thought.

Hey there, Chanel, Johnny.

Dr. Green.

Chanel, how are you feeling today?

Uh, fine. The morning sickness is nearly gone, and I already made an appointment with my OB at UCLA.

Excellent. Did the tech come by?

Yeah. She just gave us a bunch of ultrasound pictures.

Everything looks good, right, Doctor?

Overall, the baby appears to be developing normally, but there is one concern I’d like to discuss. [tense music]

[sighs] Come on, Leo. Remember who you are. You are strong. You are resilient. You’ve got this. You better buckle up, Mom, because I have a lot to say to you, and you are gonna sit there, and you are gonna listen. I am not unlovable. I am not worthless. Oh, don’t give me that look. You know which one. It’s the same one you gave me when–

When you spilled my Mai Tai in the Poconos. [chuckles] Or was it a green martini? You were always a little clumsy, kiddo. [tense music]

Mother.

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

Leo, Leo, Leo. It’s been a while. To what do I owe the– well, I won’t say pleasure, but– hey, what you got here? What’s that? A script?

Just some notes, Mom.

Ah.

You know, we can’t all go through life just unfiltered, shooting from the hip like you.

Oh, listen to you. You’re one to talk. Do you remember when you were yapping at that lady in that little, tiny teacup ride? You almost had us thrown out of that. What was that place called?

Super Duper Funland?

Yeah.

I was a kid, Mom. And that lady’s halitosis was ruining everything. I was just brave enough to take a stand.

Oh, is that why you’re here, take a stand?

If you must know, I started therapy. And Dr. Evans says that I have to confront my childhood traumas.

Oh, please. You don’t have anything better to do than listen to that new age quack?

Dr. Evans is not a new age quack. She’s a top-notch therapist. And how do you deal, Mom? You just scream at your ex-husband into a payphone? [soft dramatic music]

I may be in a federal penitentiary, but I am still your mother, and you will treat me with respect. Therapy. [chuckles] Why don’t you just man up for once in your life and–

Damn it, Mom.

You may be an underachiever, an also-ran, and you may, I don’t know, have consider– well, you do cut kind of a sad, lonely figure, but you are not crazy. So why on God’s green earth do you need therapy?

Because of you.

What’s your concern, Doctor?

Well, today’s ultrasound, it showed two soft markers, as they’re called. And they may very well mean nothing, but they could be indicators for a congenital abnormality. So I’m going to refer you to a genetic counselor in Los Angeles, run some further tests.

These soft markers, could they be from radiation exposure?

Well, your exposure was brief, and the levels were relatively low. But there’s no way to know for sure. [soft dramatic music]

Radioactive Mayor. What kind of nickname is that? I sound like one of those characters out of a superhero movie with all the CGI.

You know, now it’s all going to blow over that we– we know that Concerned Citizens has been revealed to be EJ DiMera.

And a handful of folks that he paid off to sign his damn petition. Ooh, you know, Abe, it still galls me that I had to reinstate that two-timing EJ DiMera to make this go away, oh, especially since I promised Melinda the job as long as she wanted it.

Did you offer her something else?

Yeah, yeah. And she took it as an insult, told me to take the job and shove it. Oh, and, you know, now I do– I desperately need a head of sanitation.

You have another candidate in mind?

No. No, I don’t. You know, and with the market so tight right now–

Well, you know, I may know someone who’s interested.

Really? Who?

Me. [tense music]

Jack, I didn’t realize you were here still.

Oh, he decided to spend the night.

Yes. Yes. I’m driving back to Boston later this morning.

Great. Well, I’m glad– I’m glad we get to say goodbye now.

Just a minute. Before we say goodbye, let’s just back up a second. Why would you want to see Weston again? He’s told you everything you want to know, hasn’t he? [dramatic music]

I hope you didn’t go after Clyde with some revenge plot in mind.

I did. You know, I found him in Montana, and– and I pulled the tri– I was gonna pull the trigger, and I didn’t, ultimately, because that’s–you know, Abigail wouldn’t have wanted that, so–

No, she wouldn’t have wanted that. She would have wanted you to think of Thomas and Charlotte and how much they need their dad right now. So as much as I want Clyde to rot in hell, I’m really glad you didn’t make that choice. Well, I better get going. I will see you soon.

Yep.

Okay?

Okay.

Julie, I love you.

Love you too.

See you soon.

Jack, wait. [soft dramatic music]

So, Doctor, you’re saying that if something is wrong with our baby, it could be from radiation exposure?

We can’t rule it out at this point.

I just want to say, as the older brother of someone with Down syndrome, I wouldn’t be where I am today without my sister. She’s brought so much into my life. She’s the kindest person I know.

And she’s also an excellent baker. I’m gonna miss Felicity a lot.

I know she was hoping to say goodbye to you.

I know. I was hoping the same, but it’s just been such a whirlwind. But you know what? Our flight isn’t until later tonight. So I’m gonna text her and see if she can meet up with us. I think it would do my heart a lot of good.

Yeah, mine too.

You want to be my head of sanitation?

I know the job. Town obviously has a need.

Oh, here I thought you were enjoying retirement. But, Abraham, do you really want to be my subordinate?

Well, if that means spending more time with you, absolutely.

Oh, yeah, well, you know, I would love that too. But the only thing I’d be concerned about is it’ll be viewed as nepotism. [soft dramatic music]

Is that you’re really concerned about?

Well, what does that mean?

It means I get the feeling that you really don’t want me working for you.

Lucas, I just spent months fighting to get you home. And now you’re going to pack up and go to Phoenix?

You know I want to– I want to go to Phoenix to be with Will and Allie. You know that. And you know that I miss my grandkids. You know I miss my kids, and I just have to make amends for what I did to Sammy. You know, I’m surprised that they’re even speaking to me at all.

What do you mean? Of course they’re speaking to you. They know exactly what their mother did, how she tormented you. I mean, basically, she drove you to do what you did. Of course, she doesn’t beat herself up. You know, she always gets a pass.

Oh, two wrongs don’t make a right, doesn’t justify my behavior.

[sighs] That’s true. I mean, I can’t just blame Sammy, I guess. There’s someone else I could blame, though.

Who?

You’re looking at her. [mellow country music playing]

Oh, yeah, sure. Let’s blame Mommy. That’s original.

I’m not blaming you.

Then what are you doing? Oh, I get it. You came all the way here to make me feel guilty. Well, that was a waste of time and good gas money.

Listen to me, Mother. The last time I was here, you told me I was an utterly worthless human being whom no one could ever love.

Well, and you agreed with me.

Because you gaslit me my entire life. Do you remember telling me that I had the voice of an angel, that I was destined, destined for stardom?

What are you talking about?

Of course you don’t remember. I entered a talent show at school. And in front of the entire auditorium, I’m singing my little heart out thinking that, because of you, that I’m a younger, cuter Billy Joel, the piano boy, as you put it.

Oh. [laughs] The piano boy. I have no memory of this.

Not surprising. Then right in the middle of “New York State of Mind,” I see pens, pencils, all sorts of things being hurled my way on stage because, it turns out, I cannot sing worth a lick. You lied to me.

Oh! Oh, kiddo. If that actually happened– [sighs] And I’m highly skeptical, maybe it was good for you. You know, character building. You know, I read about someone who was mercilessly bullied, Gene Hackman. Look how he turned out.

I am not going to sit here and take any of this. Do you hear me? I am going to say what I came here to say, and you are going to listen to me. [tense music]

You expect me to sit here and listen to your whining and moaning and blaming all of your inadequacies on me? Tell me, Leo, how many times have you come to visit your mother in all of these years? Twice. Not even so much as a birthday card.

You don’t like birthday cards.

Not the mushy, gushy ones.

You don’t like the funny ones either.

Anything would have been better than nothing. You selfish little ingrate. And now you show up once in a blue moon and, of course, it’s all about you and your imaginary childhood traumas.

I didn’t imagine it, any of it. The way I feel and what I’ve been through has meaning. I have meaning.

I don’t want to hear it! Guard!

I am not worthless. I am not unlovable. I am Leo Stark.

Oh, God! Here we go again.

I am Matthew Cooper. I am whoever you wanted me to be. My whole life, I did as you said, because all little Matty ever craved was your love. And it has taken me this long to realize there was nothing I could do or be that was ever enough for you.

Yada, yada, yada.

Nobody was ever enough for you. That’s why you had no friends. The people you thought were your friends, you just used them and manipulated them to get what you wanted, just like you did with your own son.

Oh, God, the self-pity.

You let me believe that I was John Black’s son just so you could get your hands on him. Did it ever occur to you how that might have affected me? He was the closest thing I ever had to a parent, to someone who loved me for who I was. And then when all was said and done, he hated me too.

[screams] Guard, take me back to my cell, please!

But I learned a lot from you, Mother– to lie, to cheat, to hide who I really was, to keep everything superficial and betray the few people who truly cared about me. But most of all, I learned that you never should have been a mother in the first place.

Not to a dead loss like you. May I see that? Please?

My script?

Your script. Yeah. Yeah, your script. [moans] [wails]

How is it your fault that I went crazy and kidnapped my ex?

Well, maybe it’s in your DNA. You know, I– I’ve been thinking about Philip and the extremes that he went to to hold on to Chloe. And I’m thinking maybe you both could have inherited this particular form of madness from me.

But you never did anything like that. You never did anything like what Philip and I did.

No, not for a man. But for my kids, I certainly did.

Mom, you’re protective and you’re overbearing, that’s true. But you’re fiercely loyal, and you’ve always been there for us. That’s all that matters.

You have always done the same for your kids.

That’s right. That’s why I have to see them now. You know, I miss them very much.

And they miss you. I know they do because every time I talk to them, they ask about you. They really do miss you a lot. And you know I’m gonna give you my blessing to go to Arizona and see them as long as you promise to come back.

I will.

Again.

[clears throat]

I’m gonna miss you. I missed you so much. [sighs] I am so grateful that you’re free.

I am beyond grateful. I will never take my freedom for granted again. [mellow country music]

What is it?

I want you to have this. [chuckles] I have tried everything known to man to open it. I have failed. And I got to thinking about Jennifer. Well, she spent her teenage years in this house. She was so close to Alice and Tom, her grandparents. And, well, she’s a clever girl. So maybe she has the magic touch.

She just may.

So will you take it to her?

I will.

[chuckles] Don’t drop it.

Oh, precious cargo. I got it.

Yeah. Oh, Jack, you’re the precious cargo. You mean so much to all of us. Please come back soon, will you?

I will.

And bring Jennifer.

I certainly will.

[laughs] [somber music]

Buh-bye.

Love you.

Love you too. Chad, I love you both.

We love you. And give our love to Jennifer, please.

Jeez, I thought you were about to tell him.

I’m not gonna tell him anything. Besides, I don’t really have anything to say, not yet.

I know. I really hoped that we were going to have some good news before he left. But, you know, now I wonder if we’re ever gonna know at all.

You’re right. You’re right, Abraham. I don’t love the idea of you being my new head of sanitation. But it’s not for the reason you think.

Why?

Well, you’re vastly overqualified for the job. You know that. But that’s not why. I would love to work alongside you, Abraham. The keyword being “alongside,” as equals. I–I don’t want to be your boss.

Oh, I understand.

Really? Really?

Yeah. I mean, the last thing I want to do is make you uncomfortable.

Oh. [laughs] Oh. I appreciate that. [laughs] Oh, and, you know, something else will come along. You’ll see.

Well, I’ll be patient.

Mm-hmm. [chuckles] Hey, oh, too bad you don’t have the skillset to take over a certain bakery that I have up for lease. Ha.

Well, maybe– maybe Chanel could give me a crash course.

Yeah, yeah, but, you know, it’ll have to be by Zoom, unfortunately.

[chuckles] [gentle music]

Are you okay?

[sighs] Well, I thought I was. I thought I was at peace with leaving everything behind.

You’re not, though.

Not what?

You’re not leaving everything behind. You’re gonna– you’re gonna open up a Sweet Bits in California. You can start with an LA location, and then you can branch off into–

I know, I know, but it’s not that. It’s–[sighs]

Then what is it?

Well, it’s just that I– I really convinced myself that everything was gonna be okay with our baby, even though I knew that there could be risks and even though, you know, everyone tried gently to tell me that I was being naive.

Chanel, are you saying that you’ve changed your mind about the pregnancy?

It’s just that it suddenly just feels so real. You know? And we weren’t planning to start a family this soon. And I just–like what if I’m not ready to be a mother? Felicity! Hi.

Hi, Chanel. Hi, Johnny.

Hi.

Are you okay, Chanel?

Yeah, yeah. I’m fine. Thank you for asking.

Are you sure?

Well, I guess I’m just– I’m having mixed emotions. You know, part of me is feeling really excited to be moving to California, and then another part of me is just feeling really sad to leave Salem.

I’m sad too. I’m going to miss you a lot.

I’m going to miss you too, Felicity.

Will you write to me?

Yeah, of course I will.

You promise?

I promise.

I love you, Chanel.

I love you too, Felicity. [tender music]

Ah. You know, Sweet Bits is a special place. I’m gonna miss it.

Me too. But I plan on being the first customer in line at the LA location as soon as Chanel opens it. [chuckles] Oh, my stomach is growling just thinking about it.

Oh, you know what? Speaking of that, I thought that I would swing by the pub and pick up some takeout.

Oh, well, could you pick up something for Chanel and Johnny too?

Oh, of course. Chanel still on that cheeseburger and extra pickles kick?

At least this week. Who knows what’s next? [laughs] Oh, Abe, I am gonna miss that child. Oh. Johnny too.

[chuckles] Well, at least we’re going to have each other close by and right here, same apartment.

Thank God for that.

[laughs] [tender music]

You’re not giving up, are you?

I’m just–just frustrated. I mean, you know, I can’t believe they shipped Clyde off so fast, you know, before I could even talk to him. It just–

I know. Rafe said he wanted to talk to Clyde too, some of the information he thought he might have about getting Gabi out of jail. Well, do you think Rafe could intercede for you?

Oh, the feds already know that Clyde could have information on a missing person. They said no exceptions. Look, Julie, I know that there’s such a slim chance that Abigail could be alive. But I mean, now that Clyde gave us this information, I just– I can’t rest until I get some answers.

Of course not. I feel exactly the same way. I’m with you in this all the way.

I know. So… I mean, if we’re gonna find out who this woman in this video is–

Yeah. We’re gonna have to do it without the help of the big jailbird.

Yeah.

What sanctimonious psychobabble. I am not to blame for your degenerate lifestyle. It is not my fault you are the way you are.

What do you mean by that, Mother? Gay?

Single, friendless, disloyal, unloving, unloved. I miss anything?

No, that covers it.

And if that quack, Marlena Evans, think you were going to fix all of your problems by filling me with guilt, then you have wasted a lot of money on your therapy, not to mention my time. [tense music]

I came here to get some things off my chest. This was for me, not you.

Did it work? Feel better?

There’s only one other time I can recall where I poured my heart out to you. Do you remember?

Why would I want to?

It was the first time Dad hit me. I had gotten a B on some exam. And the irony was he never even looked at my grades, let alone cared about them. But for some reason, that B really pissed him off. [soft dramatic music]

He hit me so hard.

I begged you to make him stop. And do you remember what you said to me? You told me to suck it up, to be a man. So that’s what I did. Nine years old. I didn’t say a word.

And when I finally killed him to protect both of us, you blamed me for all of it. He was the villain. You were the villain.

You were my mother. You were supposed to protect me. That was your job, your one job. And you didn’t do it. You never did it. [breathes sharply] [sighs]

Are you gonna say anything?

I am at a loss, actually. And bored, if you must know.

[sighs] I guess it was expecting too much to hear you say “I’m sorry” or “I wish things were different.” Certainly shouldn’t have expected an “I love you.”

The next time you decide to come visit, just don’t.

I won’t.

I have something for you.

Oh, okay.

My big brother gave this for me when I was little. And it’s my favorite stuffed animal.

Oh, sweetheart, I can’t. I can’t take that.

Yes, you can. It’s time for it to have a new home.

Are you sure?

I want your baby to have it.

Just promise that you’ll take care of it.

We will.

Yes. And we promise that he or she will too.

Well, okay, I have to go home now. Bye, Chanel. Bye, Johnny.

Bye, Felicity. [gentle music] We will talk very soon, okay?

Please.

Bye.

I forgot I told her that we were having a baby.

Well, it was very sweet of her to give this to you.

Oh, Johnny.

What?

Sometimes, I feel like I– I forced this on you, you know, going through with this– this pregnancy.

Whoa, what? No, you did not force anything on me, okay?

Yeah, but when I decided that I wanted to have the baby, I didn’t really leave any room for disagreement.

Okay, look, I will admit it took me a little while to warm up to the idea. But now that I’ve seen those ultrasound pictures, I am completely on board. Okay?

And the test results, they didn’t change anything for you?

No. Not at all. Did they–[clears throat] Did they change anything for you?

No, no. It’s just I– I’ve been thinking, you know, a child can be born perfectly healthy and you still never know what could happen down the road.

Right.

Like take Theo, for example. You know, Abe and Lexie, I’m sure that they were so worried when they found out that he was autistic. But look at him, he’s just a wonderful guy. And Felicity, she’s an amazing person. And her family, they’re so blessed to have her.

And so are we– blessed to have each other and to have this baby on the way.

Yeah.

I love you, Johnny.

I love you too. And I promise you that whatever life throws at us, we will get through together.

I’ve watched this video a thousand times– sped up, slowed down, zoomed in, zoomed out. And still, I just, you know, I go back and forth between definitely Abigail’s alive and– and, you know, she’s definitely not alive. There’s no possible way she could be alive. [doorbell rings]

Doorbell. I’ll get it. I’ll get it.

Oh. [laughs] Look, look, look, look, look, look.

Hey.

Hey, man. What are you doing?

Ah, you know, hanging out.

[laughs] Big news. Drum roll. The rest of his sentence has been officially commuted.

What?

Yeah.

What?

Yeah.

[grunts] Congratulations.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. I just actually came to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

Yeah. I got to get to Phoenix. I got to check in on Will and Ali. It won’t be for that long.

Well, I hope not.

No, no, no.

Okay, well, the kids are gonna be thrilled to see you.

Yeah.

Man, I’m so happy.

Thanks, dude. What’s going on here? What do you guys got?

It’s all right. It’s all right, as long as he doesn’t tell Jack or Jennifer.

Yeah. You got to keep it quiet.

Yeah, I won’t say anything to anybody. Just tell me what’s going on. [suspenseful music]

There’s a video. It might possibly be proof that… Abigail is still alive.

Oh, wait until Dr. Evans gets a load of that Hindenburg disaster of a visit. Oh, that’s right, she doesn’t take walk-ins. [sighs] [soft dramatic music] [phone beeps] Hi. This is Leo Stark. I need to see Dr. Evans ASAP. Tomorrow? No, no, I’m here now. This is an emergency. No, I’m not thinking of harming myself. This is about my sociopathic nightmare of– Okay. Okay. I will be here tomorrow. [phone beeps] [soft dramatic music] “The next time you want to come and visit me, just don’t.”

I won’t. I won’t come visit you again, Mother. In fact, I never want to see you again. In fact, you can burn in– oh, no, no, you can’t… because you’re my mother.

And as sad–as sad as it is, I still want you to love me. I want that so bad. [crying]

Hey, are you okay?

So what do you think?

I think Clyde’s playing mind games with you. I just don’t see, you know, how this– this video shows that this is Abigail. I really don’t. But I know you need to find out your own truth, you know. So you think about having the photos enhanced anyway?

That’s what I was gonna do next.

All right. I mean, we all wish that it were true. We all wish that this could be Abigail, but–

We all wish it, more than anything in the world. [somber music]

Hello, Kate.

Hey. Hi, Abe. You’re here for breakfast?

No, no. I’m here to pick up takeout for Chanel and Johnny. They are leaving town later today.

Really? I don’t know, I think that’s going around. So is Lucas. I mean, he’s leaving town. He’s going to go to Arizona and visit Will and Ari.

Oh, they’re living there now?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he says he’s coming back, you know. But in a way, I think maybe the universe is trying to give me a heads up that I need to stop obsessing over my children and get on with my life. Maybe even get a job.

[laughs] You know, there’s a lot of that going on. I–I had a similar thought earlier.

Yeah?

Mm.

We used to have a lot of fun working in that Mayor’s Office, didn’t we? You know, do you ever think about going into business again, maybe partnering up?

What kind of business?

I don’t know. I haven’t really– really haven’t thought about that yet.

Well, when you do, let me know.

You can be sure I will. Anyway, I’m gonna put an order in because we don’t want to keep a pregnant woman waiting, do we?

[chuckles]

So how was the appointment?

It was–

Everything’s fine.

Oh. Well, I’m glad to hear that. Oh, give me a hug. Give me a hug, you two. Oh. Oh, and you know what? I hope you brought your appetites with you because I just sent Abraham on a mission to the pub. He’ll be back any minute.

Well, I must be hungry because my stomach is growling.

[chuckles] Oh.

Are you okay?

What’s wrong? What’s wrong, baby?

Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. I just–[winces] Ahh!

Oh!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Hope: Mom, I’m really happy for you. You’ve defined beauty in the past with brooke’s bedroom, and I’m excited to see you do it again.

Brooke: Well, thank you, honey. It’s still all sinking in.

Hope: Well, look, I do understand maybe some of the hesitancy. Just please don’t allow one of those reasons to be steffy.

Brooke: [Sighs] She’s not going to be very happy when she hears the news.

Ridge: Steffy, you more than anyone knows how short life could be. Holding on to past grudges… come on.

Steffy: Look, I know how much you love me, and I want to do what’s best for us, but I can’t just forget what the logans have done.

Ridge: [Sighs] And I’m not asking that, I… brooke is a sticking point. I get it. Please, remember that it was me. I left you. I left your mom. It was me. Be upset with me, but I love brooke. I have for a long time. She’s my person. And the logans and the forresters aren’t at odds anymore. We’re one big family. Maybe not happy, but we’re a family. Crazy family, your kids, hope’s kids, all of us. I know what this feud is you’re holding on to. Even your grandma let it go. Her and brooke, they were great friends in the end. What a waste of time. They could have been so close for so long. So let’s not do this. Let’s not repeat history. I’m hoping, I’m really hoping you’re gonna… come on board with all of it. I’m going ahead with brooke with bedroom line. And this whole social media blitz, it’S… it’s gonna drop when brooke and I are in monte carlo.

Steffy: What? Brooke’s coming to monte carlo?

Poppy: I just can’t shake off how upset I am.

Luna: Mom, don’t give katie this much power over you. Like, look, I understand that us coming into bill’s life is a big adjustment, but if katie can’t handle that, then that’s on her.

Poppy: Okay, yes. Okay, you’re right. You’re right. And there is so much to be grateful for. And I know how much you are loving your life right now. I am. Well, you know, I–I loved our life before, too, but this just feels… I don’t know, like, complete. I finally have a father. And… it’s not just any father. It’s bill spencer, and… he’s welcomed us with open arms.

Poppy: Of course he has. And, you know, bill is really lucky to have a daughter like you. I know that I am.

Luna: This is a really special moment for us right now.

Poppy: I love our life, and I’m not gonna let anyone ruin it.

Bill: Well, I love our life as well. And I agree. No one is going to ruin it.

Li: Katie, are you accusing me if I somehow mishandled bill and luna’s paternity test?

Katie: Oh, no, no, no. I–I don’t mean to suggest that. I’m just wondering if there’s any chance that the test could be incorrect.

Poppy: Um, bill, I was just being a little dramatic. I–I really didn’t–

Bill: No, I agree. You never have to hide your feelings from me. No secrets.

Li: So you’re not implying I made an error with the paternity test, but you’re still asking if it could be wrong?

Katie: Please, don’t take this personally. I–I don’t have your expertise, but I’M… I’m sure these tests have false results from time to time, and I’m just wondering if, uh… it might not be correct.

Li: My sister’s really alarmed you, huh?

Katie: Yes. Yes, she has. I keep on getting these weird vibes from her, like she’s hiding something. So… maybe the results aren’t right.

Li: No, katie, the paternity test is correct. Bill is luna’s father.

Hope: Look, if steffy is not thrilled about the relaunch of the bedroom line, then… you know, that’s on her. We–we should be celebrating. We shouldn’t be worrying about her reaction. And besides, I know ridge cannot wait to get started.

Brooke: Honestly, I think he just enjoys me trying on lingerie for him.

Hope: Mom, I–

Brooke: Okay, I’m kidding. Okay? This is gonna be very exciting, going to the global fashion summit and relaunching brooke’s bedroom officially.

Hope: Hmm. Well, maybe it doesn’t have to be just business. I mean, it could be a little bit of a romantic getaway for you and ridge. It might be just what you need.

Brooke: I totally agree.

Hope: Wait, but, uh… isn’t steffy going, too?

Brooke: [Sighs, laughs]

Steffy: You want brooke to come to monte carlo?

Ridge: Yeah, I think brooke coming is going to help relaunch the bedroom line.

Steffy: But, dad, I… I thought it was just going to be the two of us. Moving forward withnode-positive breast cancer.

Poppy: I’m sorry. I… I didn’t want to sound insecure or worried.

Bill: About what we have being ruined? I would never let that happen. This is important to me, too. I mean, it has literally changed my world. And having a daughter… especially one as remarkable as luna… has made me a different man. I never expected it. But now that I have it, I don’t want to let it go.

Katie: So these paternity tests are–are never faulty? There’s–there’s never any room for error?

Li: It depends who administers them. As you know, I ran the test myself, taking out any room for error.

Katie: Because you suspected poppy of the same thing I did, that she might alter the results in her favor. Because you know that she might do something as treacherous as lying and trapping bill into believing that he’s luna’s father.

Li: I owe bill my life after he saved me. But I also care about my niece enough to not see her be hurt. So I took charge, making sure there was no room for doubt or uncertainty. And there wasn’t, katie. The paternity test was correct.

Hope: Things are going well. I mean, the logans and the forresters could finally be working together in harmony. But then it just seems like steffy wants to keep the feud alive and well, and if she goes to monte carlo, then–

Brooke: She is definitely planning on coming. I heard her talking about it.

Hope: Oh, and I can’t imagine that she would bow out gracefully to let you and ridge have a romantic getaway alone.

Steffy: I was really looking forward to our trip to monte carlo. I thought it was just gonna be the two of us.

Ridge: [Sighs] I’m still looking forward to it. It’s gonna be the two of us. We just added brooke because she’s–she’s back now.

Steffy: Yeah, but our company’s presence, it goes way beyond brooke’s bedroom line. Our company is not just a lingerie company.

Ridge: I know that. But we create beauty, and we… make women feel like they’re desired. And that’s where the bedroom line comes in because… at forrester, it doesn’t matter if you’re 20 or 40 or 80 or even 100 years old. Being beautiful, that never goes away. Monte carlo is the right location and brooke is the right spokesperson, and… I’m hoping you can support that. Type 2 diabetes?

Poppy: You’re not the only one who sees the world differently. You’ve changed my life, too. I’ve always been fiercely protective. I mean, especially when it comes to luna. From the day she was born, I just held her so incredibly close to me. So for me to share her or to not be the only parent, it’s a huge deal. You say that we changed your life. You’ve changed our lives in more ways than you can possibly imagine.

Luna: I’m just so grateful that you’re my father.

Li: Believe me, I understand how difficult this must be for you, katie, seeing your ex-husband with another woman.

Katie: He was bound to move on sooner or later. I mean, honestly, that’s what I wanted for him.

Li: But still, it’s to see him with a new family in the same home where you raised your son. Uh… it must be challenging.

Katie: It is. But it’s not so much the new family. I mean, we would have made that work. It’s more the… this territorial vibe I’m getting from your sister. I mean, just, something seems off.

Li: Something always feels off when it comes to penelope. That’s why I stormed over to bill’s and demanded I administer the paternity test. It just felt like she was up to something. But I was wrong, katie. She wasn’t lying. Bill is, without a shadow of a doubt, luna’s father.

Hope: You know, I hate that we can’t just enjoy your accomplishments, that we have to worry about steffy and her constant disapproval.

Brooke: It’s not all her fault, hope. There’s a history of conflict between our families, especially her mother and me.

Hope: Okay, well, don’t you think it’s about time she got over it? Her dad is a grown man. He made a choice. He wants to be with you, and he picked you to be the face of the relaunch of one of the most successful lines at forrester creations. This is your time. It is well deserved. So you and ridge, you are going to go to monte carlo. And, yes, steffy will be there, too.

Brooke: Glaring at me the whole time.

Hope: Okay, fine. Let her glare. If steffy wants to have a pity party, fine. We will let her. But you… promise me that you will enjoy this trip with ridge, and please do not let steffy come between you.

Steffy: You want me to support this?

Ridge: Yes. It’s an empowering message for women of all ages.

Steffy: I support the empowerment of women.

Ridge: Just not brooke.

Steffy: I know brooke, and she doesn’t really care about empowering women. This is about her. She wants all the attention. She’s good at it. She manipulated you with a lingerie line.

Ridge: Oh, is she? I’m played that easily?

Steffy: Yeah, I think so.

Ridge: She didn’t even want this. I had to convince her to do the bedroom line. You were there.

Steffy: Fine. Fine. Okay. If you want to revamp the line, and you want brooke as the spokesperson… okay, fine. Let’s do it. But please, let’s just not have her come to monte carlo.

Ridge: Steffy–

Steffy: No. When was the last time you and I had actual time together without kids, without our significant others? Like, I feel like life is pulling us in so many different directions, and I was really looking forward to this, dad.

Ridge: I’m still looking forward to it. We were doing it.

Steffy: Yeah, but brooke is tagging along with us now.

Ridge: Because it’s better for business.

Steffy: I personally think it’s gonna be a huge flop.

Ridge: I don’t agree.

Steffy: Well, that sucks, because as co-ceo’s, we need to support each other in these big decisions.

Ridge: And we also need to have each other’s backs and maybe give each other the benefit of the doubt. Look, we’re gonna have a photo shoot here, and it’s gonna be all beautiful models. We’ll do all that. But in monte carlo, it’s gonna be brooke. ‘Cause she’s just better at selling this stuff than anybody else. And I promise you, we’ll–we’ll have time. The two of us will find time just for us, okay? Promise you. Come here. I love you.

Steffy: And I love you. And I love you.

Ok y’all we got ten orders

coming in.. big orders!

Bill: So now that we’re alone, there’s something I want to talk to you about. My spencey senses are tingling.

Poppy: Your spencey senses?

Bill: Mm-hmm. I’m feeling like you’re stressed, uptight.

Poppy: I mean, yeah. I mean, I guess I have been a little on edge recently.

Bill: Why?

Poppy: [Sighs] I had a run in with katie earlier.

Bill: What did she say?

Poppy: She had questions about me. Questions that she’s going to get the answers to.

Bill: And what do you suppose that means?

Poppy: I have no idea. You know, I am sick and tired of this. And first my sister questions my character and integrity, and now your ex-wife. I–I’m sorry.

Bill: It’s all right. No, no, no. Don’t apologize. And don’t worry about katie. She thinks she’s protecting me. Katie’s harmless.

Katie: I know you’re hiding something, poppy, and I’m gonna find out what.

Ridge: [Grunts]

Brooke: Ah. Something’s gotten into you.

Ridge: Just keep thinking about you in that lingerie.

Brooke: Oh, is that so?

Ridge: Yeah. Oh, I know. I was gonna ask you. Can you put that on again? ‘Cause I think it needs an adjustment, just… professional stuff, obviously.

Brooke: Obviously. Tonight.

Ridge: Tonight, huh? You can have such an impact on so many women all over the world.

Brooke: I’m really flattered. I am. You have a way of making me feel beautiful and sexy.

Ridge: ‘Cause you are beautiful and sexy.

Brooke: I just can’t help but be a little bit concerned, self-conscious. And what’s really weighing on me is steffy.

Ridge: Steffy?

Brooke: I don’t want to come between you and your daughter.

Steffy: This isn’t a good time, hope.

Hope: Ooh. Could this mood maybe have something to do with your father and my mother? I heard the good news about the bedroom line. Really excited about the photo shoot. And the social media drop to coincide with the global fashion summit in monte carlo. I think putting my mom front and center is really going to be great for the company.

Steffy: Are you trying to get rise out of me?

Hope: Why would I want to do that? Like, my mother and I care about this company. You’re the only one who doesn’t seem excited about her return. She deserves this, steffy. And this opportunity means a lot to her.

Steffy: Yeah. My father used to be my co-ceo. That’s not the case anymore. Brooke’s in the middle. We were supposed to go to… monte carlo together and now brooke’s tagging along. My father and I, we used to have a really good bond, but… clearly things are changing.

Hope: I… I… understand.

Steffy: Please don’t try to patronize me.

Hope: I’m not, actually. I would be hurt if I expected to, you know, share an experience with my father only for that to be given to someone else. But I do think this issue is maybe bigger than us. And your problems are my problems. I think this comes down to our parents’ happiness. They’ve been through so much over the years. There’s so many ups and downs. And now I feel like they’re… they’re finally where they need to be. They finally found their footing and so I don’t think we should stand in the way of that. I think… we need to support them.

Steffy: Support… brooke? Never.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– Oh, my God. Do you think it’s possible? – That Everett isn’t really Everett? Yeah, I do. – But I don’t get it. Why would Bobby be pretending to be Everett? How could that possibly benefit him?

[sighs] Never mind. Dumb question. It got him out of Bayview.

Yeah, exactly.

[eerie music]

You’re absolutely right, Dr. Johnson. It is none of your business.

[tense music] Gosh, um, that sounded rude, didn’t it?

Yeah. Yeah, it did. – Look, I’m– I’m really sorry. I’m dealing with, like, a– a pretty serious mental illness. I’m just trying to get my life back on track. And on top of it all, I’m working under a new boss.

[sighs] It’s just been a really stressful time.

Yeah, I’m sure– I’m sure it is.

Well, it’s, like, more than you can imagine. So, to be frank, worrying about Stephanie’s feelings just isn’t my top priority right now.

Got it.

Sorry, again.

Damn. First I sounded rude. Now I sound insensitive. But I suppose you understand I have to focus on my mental health. – Course. – Now, if you’ll excuse me, I– I need to get to a therapy appointment. – Right. – Uh-huh. Well, you know, when he calls, you need to tell him that– never mind. I’ll tell him myself. Ugh.

Now what’s going on? What’s that all about?

Ugh. Everett Lynch– he’s the editor of “The Spectator.” Ugh. The man has called my office four times this morning, harassing me for a quote about the police commissioner stabbing. And the minute– the minute I finally get some time to call the man back, he’s out till after lunch.

Well, just take it easy on him. He’s just released from Bayview. – And how is that my problem? Honestly, Abe, Abe, I just– I don’t want some needy reporter wasting my time when I am dealing with a police commissioner who is in a coma and not– not one single lead as to who put him there. Not to mention, I still need to appoint an interim police commissioner, you know, while Rafe’s recovering.

Well, well, who’s on your mind? I mean, who are you thinking of? – Jada Hunter. She’s the best, best candidate so far. But the man she loves, he’s fighting for his life. So I imagine that any free time she has, she wants to spend at his bedside.

[somber music]

What are you doing in here?

– Well, I just– I saw the news about Commissioner Hernandez and the stabbing. It’s just awful. And I’m sorry to intrude, but I just feel terrible about what’s happened to him. – You know Rafe? – Well, not personally, but I feel as though I do. I mean, we, all of us in Salem, we owe him such a debt of gratitude, don’t we? For keeping the streets safe– more or less safe, anyway. Um, I just– well, I can’t believe that someone would be so cruel and brazen enough to– to stab the commissioner. And I wanted to come visit him to see if I could help.

Why don’t you cut the crap and tell me why you’re really here?

[dramatic music]

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

– Well, you know, I’m sure you’re right that Jada is focusing on Rafe, his recovery. – Mm-hmm, yeah. But on the other hand, come to think of it, she just might want to put as much overtime on the job as she can so she can nail the bastard who attacked him. I guess I’ll find out today. I plan on reaching out to her right after my appointment with Kayla.

All right. Before your appointment, take a couple of deep breaths because you don’t want to get another lecture on your blood pressure.

Well, I’m not worried. I haven’t felt this good in years.

[chuckles] I’m sure I’ll receive an excellent report.

[bright jazz music]

Well, Marlena never would have released Everett, would she, if she thought there was a chance he was faking it?

Oh, no. And I was there when Everett emerged, and he was very convincing. I mean, there was no way to think that, you know, that that wasn’t him. I don’t know. Who knows? Maybe the guy is just a really good actor.

Yeah, maybe.

[eerie music] But if he is faking it, why now? What’s changed?

I think I have an idea.

Damn. This being Everett thing is stressing me out. Not sure how much longer I can keep it up.

Hello.

Hey, Dr. Evans.

I didn’t mean to startle you.

Oh, no, not at all. Not at all.

Were you talking to someone?

Just myself.

Oh, OK.

First sign of insanity, right?

[laughter]

OK. You got me. I’m not here because of Rafe.

Uh-huh. So why are you really here?

Because of you.

[dramatic music]

Ah-ha, welcome back.

Hey, hey.

Welcome back.

Thank you. Is this a good time?

Oh, yes, it’s a good time. I’m just eager to hear how things went in LA.

Well, um, it wrapped up a little sooner than I thought.

Oh.

Yeah. I mean, the producers, they– they loved our proposal. You know, they thought the financials were solid, especially with Chad involved, and they’re really eager to see the show continue, but unfortunately, they don’t have the means, and they also appreciated that you were a loyal fan and would be a good steward of the show.

Uh-huh. But?

There’s no buts.

No buts? Wait a minute. They didn’t say no?

They did not. In fact, they said a resounding yes. We got the rights. “Body and Soul” is ours, Abe!

[laughter]

[bright music]

Oh, man.

Paulina?

Oh, hello, Kayla. Just give me one second.

[muttering] Oh, sorry about that. It’s a madhouse at City Hall.

Oh, I can imagine.

So any updates on Commissioner Hernandez’s condition?

Unfortunately, no. But, uh, how are you feeling?

Physically? Never better.

Well, I’m glad to hear that. Um, I got the results of your thyroid panel, and they are excellent. Your TSAs, your T, your T, everything is in optimal ranges. And your tumor panel, well, there’s– there’s no markers whatsoever. They’re undetectable. – Oh, praise the Lord. Oh. – I do have one concern, though.

[tense music] – What do you mean, you’re here because of me?

Well, the last time I ran into you, you asked me to send my résumé, remember, for a job at Gabi Chic, assuming you’re still reviving the brand with DiMera. – Yes, that is happening. Actually, I just signed the paperwork to make it official, but that doesn’t– – Oh, wow, congratulations. – Thanks. But that doesn’t explain why you’re here in my brother’s hospital room.

Well, as I was saying, I sent my résumé that you requested, but then you didn’t respond. So I wanted to bring you a hard copy in person. I have one right here. And I also took the liberty of coming up with some ideas for the business.

[chuckles] So let me get this straight. You came to my comatose brother’s hospital room hoping to run into me to hand-deliver a résumé?

[dramatic music] You know that sounds nuts, right? – Well, I’d hardly say nuts. – No.

Listen to me. Look, I know you said you’re a Gabi stan, but this is getting creepy. I never even laid eyes on you until the other day, and now every time I turn around, there you freaking are. I guess you think it’s flattering, but I do not have the time for a stalker in my life. I need you to leave now. – I’m sorry. I can’t do that.

Look, uh, I know this is, like, a -or-so-minute appointment, but, um, do you think that we could end things a little early today?

[soft dramatic music]

Why would we do that?

I just– because I’m– I’m really busy. I have so much to do. Um, my head’s just spinning. You know?

When you were released from Bayview, you assured me that you were % dedicated to your recovery.

I am. I absolutely am. Um, I just– my stress level is at that point that it honestly feels like it will impede my recovery more if I stay here rather than it would if I just, you know, went home and– and dealt with stuff and just got my life in order.

I know your job is important to you, and I know your relationship with Stephanie is important to you.

But– but we just– I don’t know. We have to agree that– that your treatment takes precedence.

Yeah. Well, at least Stephanie won’t be an issue anymore.

Why not?

Oh, I broke up with her.

Why do you think Bobby was suddenly so eager to get out of Bayview?

I don’t know. I mean, I didn’t see him for weeks after he was admitted. As you know, I only went to go visit him after you asked me to. I mean, he didn’t seem to care that he hadn’t seen me. I don’t know. Maybe it was like something like out of sight, out of mind thing.

Right. But you said when you finally– when he finally did see you, he was– he was acting like he wanted to rekindle your relationship.

Oh, yes. He was coming on very strong– flirtatious, even. And even in Rafe’s room, he was doing the same thing. He offered me a shoulder to cry on, which I found very strange and confusing. I mean, Everett never wanted anything to do with me.

Mm-hmm, that’s true. But Bobby only had eyes for you.

Yeah. – So if Everett really is Bobby, that would explain why he dumped me and let you know right away that he was unattached. –

[sighs] Who knows?

[eerie music] Wait a minute. – What?

I was with Bobby when Everett, you know, supposedly re-emerged, and it wasn’t until I was questioning him about Li Shin’s murder, and I started, like, to follow up with questions, and he seemed really thrown. Yeah, he– he later said that he had no memory of talking to me about Li Shin’s murder. And then Marlena said that that made sense because Everett wouldn’t have any memories of what Bobby witnessed. – But oh, my God, if he’s still Bobby–

Then that means he really knows who killed Li Shin, and he’s pretending to be Everett so he can cover up the truth.

[dramatic music] –

[laughter] This is incredible.

Yes, it is. But, um– – You know– you know, when “Body and Soul” was canceled, it was like I was in a– a state of mourning for these characters, and–

[soft dramatic music] What’s that look on your face for? I– I thought you said “Body and Soul” was ours.

Well, yes. It is. But, well, there’s one major issue that could make the whole deal just kind of unravel.

Oh, Kayla, I’ve had so many things wrong with me this year. So, please, tell me this is nothing major. I don’t– I don’t think I can take any more bad news.

OK, how about this? The good news is that we caught this before it turned into bad news, and that makes it not that big a deal.

OK. All right. All right. Then, well, what is it then?

It’s your cholesterol. It’s moderately elevated. And of concern is the LDL-C, which is also known as the bad cholesterol.

Oh, I know LDL-C. Big Mama’s been dealing with it for years.

Well, she’s been doing a good job managing it. Look at her good health at her age. What is she? She’s in her s?

She is .

There you go. Mm-hmm. Well, I would say that you have longevity genes, then.

Mm-hmm.

Lucky you. But given your medical history–

I know, I know. Elevated bad cholesterol increases your risk for a heart attack or a stroke.

That’s very good, yes, correct. And so we need to get that level down. All right?

Yes, yes, OK. But– you know, I know I can google it, of course, but how do we do that?

Well, you start with a low-fat diet. I brought you a brochure. You can read all about it. And exercise, and there are medications. Have you heard of statins? – Of course. Of course. I’ve heard about statins. Big Mama, she takes them every day. But forget it. I’m not taking any meds. No way.

[soft dramatic music]

You won’t leave.

No.

OK, then I guess it’s time to call security.

Now, there’s no need for that. What I was trying to say is I won’t leave because you need me.

I beg your pardon?

Think about it. When was the last time that you– you slept or you ate? You have so much on your plate right now. You’re trying to get your business back on its feet. You’re trying to get your life back in order after all those months in prison. And now you have to spend every free moment you have here with your poor brother. I can relieve you of that burden. I could be your assistant.

I am in the middle of interviewing assistants.

Oh, well, I would offer my services for free.

For free? What’s the catch?

Well, there is no catch. I told you, you’re my ultimate role model. It would be my honor to serve you. – Look, I really don’t have the time for this.

– Well, before you say no, just think about it. I’m gonna go get you some coffee. How do you like it, honey?

Half cup, extra hot, extra foam.

–

[sighs] You– you broke up with Stephanie. Why? I mean, I thought that rekindling your relationship with her was one of the main reasons you wanted to be out– out of Bayview, wasn’t it? – It was. It was. And I– I really like Stephanie. She’s a great person, you know? But when I got out, I just– I felt, um, overwhelmed, you know?

Like, I have so much going on at work, and there’s– there’s therapy to focus on, obviously.

Ultimately, it just– it didn’t– it didn’t seem fair to Stephanie, I guess, to make her just, like, wait around until I’m– until I’m mentally healthy. You know? Just didn’t seem fair. And also, uh–

[nervous laugh] Sorry. – Also? Also what? – Also, I, um– I was telling Jada this earlier, but after my last session with you, I do feel like I’m starting to feel some of Bobby’s feelings.

– Really? – Yeah, really. I just feel, um, I don’t know– tougher, stronger. That’s good, right? – That could be a sign of progress.

Progress? Yeah. Yeah, progress, um, speaking of which, I know that I’ve been really reluctant to– to face everything that happened in my past, you know? But you said that I need to deal with it in order to get better, right? I think I’m ready, Dr. Evans. I think I’m finally ready.

Would you hypnotize me again?

If Bobby really does know something about Li Shin’s murder, why would he bring it up to you and then not tell you anything about it? It doesn’t make any sense.

I know. I know. It’s so strange, right? But like I said earlier, he was stringing me along up until I gave him an ultimatum, OK? I told him that if he didn’t tell me everything he knew, that he was never gonna see me again.

You don’t think he had anything to do with Li Shin’s murder, do you?

Who knows? You know, at one point, I thought that Bobby could never hurt a fly. But on the other hand, I also thought that he would never be a liar either. –

[chuckles]

[phone rings]

Oh, it’s the station. Excuse me. Yeah, Harry?

[eerie music] No, do not give Everett Lynch any specifics on the investigation of Rafe’s stabbing and do not give him any leads either. What? He called three times? No, no, no, no, no. I can handle it. OK, thanks.

[phone beeps] What the hell is going on with him?

OK. Jada, um, I’m no detective here, but just– just follow my thinking just for a second.

OK.

OK. So Bobby’s desperate to get you back, right? – Mm-hmm. – And if he thinks that Rafe is the only thing standing in his way, maybe he’s also desperate to know the status of the investigation into Rafe’s stabbing because–

Oh, my God. Could he be the one who did it?

[dramatic music]

So what’s the problem? – So you know how we were always concerned about being able to get the original cast to relocate to Salem, right? – Well, we discussed that we could recast some of the minor characters with local actors. – Yeah. Well, the producers told me that the three actresses who play Cassandra, Charmaine, and Lorna are not going to be able to come out here. It’s impossible. Um, two of them have contracted to other projects, and another one is married to a makeup artist who’s doing a show in LA, and she just doesn’t want to relocate. – Well, you know, why can’t we just fly them out here when we need them?

Well, Abe, we don’t have the budget for that. – Well, they’re the three female leads. I mean, they’re– they’re iconic. The– the fans have loved them for decades. It– it wouldn’t be “Body and Soul” without them.

[soft dramatic music]

– I know it sounds crazy to think that– that Bobby stabbed Rafe. I mean, it’s a huge leap, right? – Yeah, no, no. Huge, huge leap.

[ominous music] But– – But what? – I mean, the timing does kind of check out. Rafe got stabbed after Bobby was released from Bayview. I mean, granted, yeah, police officers do have enemies, but, I mean, there’s no obvious suspects here. – Oh, man. Oh, wait a minute. I– I did see Everett at his hotel room that day. So depending on what time Rafe was stabbed, it’s possible that I could– I could be Bobby’s alibi. – Do you remember what time you went to the Salem Inn? – Um, let me think. I– I was at the hospital with my mom when Marlena called, and she said that he was released, and then I went over there straight away. – Mm-hmm. – Um, let’s see. Yeah, she called me at :, and I was over there in about or minutes. – OK. Um, OK. That was after I found Rafe in the cemetery. Um, let me see. Yeah, I called the ambulance at :, nearly an hour before you saw him. So that means that if Bobby does have an alibi, you’re definitely not it.

Everett, let’s– let’s start with the good memories, OK? The ones you– you told me about the other day, you know, your– your mother.

Can you picture her? – Yeah.

How old are you?

I had, uh, just had my fourth birthday.

And do you remember what you told me?

I said, um– I said, “Why did you do it, Mom?” – Do what? – Why did you let him hurt me? – Who?

Tell me who.

My father. I, uh– I see him with his big belt, the big belt buckle. I see him coming toward me. No! Dad! No! Stop! Stop, dad! Stop!

[intense music]

Hey, Rafe. I wonder if you can hear me. I hope so.

[tender music]

I’ve been thinking so much about when we had breakfast the other day.

You asked me about my life. You were so sweet, caring. Selfish me, I barely even asked you about yours.

Did I even tell you that I love you, or how proud I am that you’re my brother? ‘Cause I am.

You’re so kind and funny and sweet.

And you always believed in me, no matter how much of a jerk I’ve been or how much I’ve disappointed you.

[sighs]

Please, please wake up, Rafe, so you can help us find out who did this to you, and I can wipe that scum right off the face of the Earth.

– She drives me insane– half-caf, extra hot, extra foam– diva bitch. After I find a way to off her brother so he can’t finger me, that woman’s going to pay for what she did to Li Shin.

[spits]

[dramatic music] – You don’t want to take medication?

Oh, Lord, I already take the thyroid pills and the blood pressure. No more, please. – What if I told you that it’s not a pill and the safety profiles really are excellent on this? And I– it’s my opinion that the benefits outweigh the risks. – Ugh.

What is it? – I just– I just hate feeling like I’m crumbling from the inside out, you know? I thought my health problems were over. – Well, I think if you take these preventative measures, they will be over for quite some time.

Mm? – Yeah. – Well, if you put it that way, it’s– Kayla, and I’m sorry I’m being so grumpy about this, you know, and self-pitying. I mean, how dare I complain, right? I mean, not many people have been nearly as lucky as I have been, you know, health-wise or in every other way. – You are lucky. And you are important to a lot of people and loved by so many. – Well, that’s kind of you to say. And please don’t tell my husband about the hard time I’ve been giving you about taking this medication, please, because if you do, I’m sure he will lecture me. – My lips are sealed. But I think that he would really be proud of you for contemplating this. – Eh, I suppose. But he’s been so preoccupied lately about securing the rights to his soap opera that sometimes he barely even notices me. But, you know, at least gives him– gives him something to do, you know, instead of just moaning about it being canceled.

Well, I guess the only answer is to recast the show. – What? All three leads at once? What do you– you don’t want us to be a pale imitation of the show.

Oh, no, yeah, no, we don’t.

Unless we reimagine the entire thing. I don’t know. Maybe “Body and Soul: the Next Generation,” set it in the future somewhere or something like that? – Then it wouldn’t be my show.

[soft dramatic music] – OK, look, I understand that. I really do. We just have so much to talk about. I mean, it’s really– it can get daunting. And casting is only part of it. We need a casting director. We need directors. We need writers. We need crew. We need craft services.

Craft services? What’s that? – OK. We have a big learning curve ahead of us.

Thank you, Connie.

Can I get you anything else?

I’m good.

Well, I sure hope your brother wakes up soon so he can get back to work. Hey, maybe he’ll catch his own assailant. Wouldn’t that be something? In the meantime, if you need anything at all, anything– admin, errands, aura readings– I’m your gal, morning, noon, or night.

Aura readings. Got it. Thank you.

All right, then.

Wait. Before you go, I should tell you that I took a look at your ideas. – You did? – Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was kind of blown away. – You were? – Yeah, and your résumé is very impressive. – Well, thank you. – Truth is, I could actually use someone like you right now– on a trial basis, of course.

I am pinching myself. Oh, I will prove my worth to you, Gabi DiMera. I can’t wait to get started. – OK, when you were in Bobby’s room, you didn’t see any signs of blood or anything like that, right? Never mind. You wouldn’t have kept that to yourself. – No, I wouldn’t have. But come to think of it, he was getting out of the shower when I showed up.

[eerie music] I just– I thought that he was cleaning up after leaving Bayview, but what if he was getting rid of evidence? Or have I been reading way too many murder mysteries? – Oh, my God. Speaking of murder mysteries, Bobby was reading one in Bayview.

He was? – Yeah. And it’s obviously all speculation right now, but I’ve had stranger theories turn out to be true. – So how do we figure out if it is true?

– Three, two, one. Everett, open your eyes.

[sobbing] – Look at me. Look at me. You’re OK. It’s safe. You’re right here. Tell me what happened. –

[breathing heavily] Sorry. I haven’t remembered that until now.

[somber music] My father, Robert Stein, he, uh– he terrorized me.

And that must be why– that must be why Bobby came out that day, to– to protect me, and stayed until now.

– What do you mean, stayed until now? – Well, I mean, now that I remember everything, I don’t need him to protect me anymore, do I? I– I have his memories, you know, and his– his feelings.

[laughs] It’s like, um– it’s like I’m a complete person now.

[laughs] I mean, I should have done this months ago. You– you encouraged me to, didn’t you? But I was– I was too scared.

[sighs] But I should have listened to you the first time because…

[sighs] This is incredible. I feel incredible, seriously.

[dramatic music] I don’t know how I can ever thank you, Dr. Evans.

You’re a miracle worker.

[soft dramatic music]

Hello. Hello, Gabi. – Mayor Price. – Oh, I’m just– I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. – Thanks. – You– did you just come from seeing your brother? – I did. No change.

Oh, well, I’m praying for him. All of us in Salem are. And we will find whoever did this to him. Justice will be served, I promise you that. – Thank you. – Uh, well, I do have a big learning curve ahead of me. – No, we both do. – But you have television experience. – Oh, not on a scripted show, I don’t. – Well, I may not have the experience, but I make up for that with a lot of enthusiasm.

[laughter] You know, I think we should hold off on casting just for a minute. And besides that, I know exactly who should play Lorna DeLorean.

No, no, no, no, no. Don’t look at me because I’m a producer, not an actor. And even if I was tempted to play the part, you would still have two more roles to cast. – Ah, but I know exactly who should play those roles too.

– Yeah? – Got a minute? – I’m on a break. I’m all yours. – Thank you. I just wanted to talk to you about Everett Lynch. I– I had an encounter with him this morning, and it really left me quite troubled. – Yeah, well, I just had a session with him that also left me rather troubled. – Right. He was on his way to see you. Did– it didn’t go well?

No, I would say that it went well. It went almost too well.

What do you mean? – He appeared to have a major breakthrough, one that I wouldn’t have expected for some time. – Do you think he’s putting on an act? –

[sighs] I don’t know exactly. You know, he’s so intelligent, and– and he’s so clever, and he’s able to, I don’t know, take drastic measures to secure his own self-preservation.

Anyway, if the session today was not as it seemed, then I think I made a serious mistake in releasing him from Bayview.

[eerie music]

–

[sighs] Sorry, Commish.

I never meant for this to happen to you. I mean, I knew Connie was kind of a wacko. If I’d known she was gonna try to kill you, I would have stopped her.

I’m a reporter. I should have asked more questions.

See, I never meant for you to die. I just wanted you out of the way… so I could have Jada all to myself.

– I’d like to bring Bobby in for questioning, but I’m gonna have to handle it very delicately. In the meantime, don’t say anything about this to anyone. – Of course not.

I mean, the last thing we need is for someone else to know that we think that Everett is Bobby and that he might be the one who stabbed Rafe.

[Brooke sighs]

Hope: You’re back.

Brooke: Yeah. We got sidetracked earlier talking about sheila. I still can’t believe that the police released her. It’s kind of sickening, actually. Anyway, I want to talk to you about something else.

Hope: Okay.

Brooke: Ridge and me.

Ridge: Sheila may still be a suspect.

Steffy: But they let her go.

Ridge: Because they couldn’t hold her.

Steffy: Finn says it’s lack of motive. But two people die at il giardino a couple days apart. Like, there’s no coincidence here.

Ridge: No, probably not, but they couldn’t prove anything.

Steffy: Okay, so if it’s not sheila, then who could have done it?

Poppy: You have questions about me?

Katie: Quite a few.

Poppy: Well, unfortunately, katie, you and I don’t know each other very well.

Katie: Yeah, I’m not sure bill knows you very well either. I’m gonna get the answers that I’m looking for, poppy. I won’t stop until I do. ‘Cause I don’t think bill has any idea what he’s gotten himself into.

Li: Bill. This is a surprise.

Bill: Well, I’m nothing if not full of surprises. I kept thinking I would run into you somewhere, li. You’ve been laying low?

Li: No. Just busy.

Bill: Well, I wanted to come by and thank you for everything. Running the paternity test, making sure it was done correctly. I’m so damn happy to have luna as my daughter.

Li: I was glad to help.

Li: You’re exactly the kind of father my niece deserves, bill.

Bill: I love luna very much.

Li: So do I. You’ll be a good influence in her life.

[Bill chuckles]

Bill: Well, she’s already been very impactful on mine. I, uh–I feel–I don’t know– just somehow different, as a man, as a father.

[Chuckles] Liam says I’m becoming a “girl dad.”

[Li laughs] All I know is I want to keep my family close. That’s more important to me than ever. Spencers stick together. We have each other’s backs. Now, it may be a bit old-fashioned wanting to bring my people together. But now that luna and poppy are family, that means that you are as well.

Li: Bill, you don’t know what that means to me.

Katie: You can make this a whole lot easier. Just tell me what I want to know.

Poppy: Katie, my relationship with bill has nothing to do with you.

Katie: Well, he is my son’s father, and he’s a big part of my life. So if you suspected that bill could be luna’s father, I’ll ask again. Why did you wait over 20 years to let the truth come out?

Brooke: You know about monte carlo, the global fashion summit.

Hope: Yes. It’s going to be quite the event.

Brooke: Yes. Ridge is planning a big splash. He wants me to help announce that I’m going to be the face of the bedroom line once again. Well, not just the face. I mean, it is lingerie, after all.

Hope: This is fantastic. Oh, my gosh.

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: Wait. You don’t–you don’t agree?

Steffy: Ugh. I can’T. I don’t want to talk about sheila anymore.

Ridge: Well, then let’s not. No more sheila. Done.

Steffy: I didn’t mean to snap like that.

Ridge: It’s okay. Move past it. Let’s talk about something else.

Steffy: Yeah. I actually want to talk to you about something work-related.

Ridge: Work-related? Okay, good. Yes. Let’s talk couture.

Steffy: Dad, why would you make brooke the spokesperson for the bedroom line? (America ferrera) yoplait is america’s favorite

Li: You’ve already done so much for me–saving my life.

Bill: I did what anybody would.

Li: Not true, but I appreciate your attempt at modesty, even though it’s not really your style.

Bill: I was just in the right place at the right time, that’s all.

Li: You brought a complete stranger into your home, bill.

Bill: Well, you’re not a stranger anymore. You’re my daughter’s aunt.

Li: I’m so relieved luna’s father is such a good man. I owe you so much.

Bill: Then you wouldn’t mind doing me a favor. I know that you and your sister have had your issues in the past, but I would really like it if you and poppy got along.

[Li scoffs]

Li: Just a little favor, huh?

Bill: Would it hurt to try?

Li: We’ve never been able to do it before.

Bill: You never had me before.

Li: So this is you pulling people together, being old-fashioned.

[Bill chuckles]

Bill: I meant what I said about family being important to me. If there’s anything that I can do to help you and your sister heal your differences, you can count on me. You’re one of us now.

Poppy: Bill understands why I couldn’t say anything.

Katie: But you didn’t just keep it from bill. You kept the secret from your daughter for her entire life.

Poppy: Luna is happy, katie. Everyone’s happy. Everyone’s happy except you.

Katie: I just think it’s odd. You know, you’ve had this secret. You’ve kept it for over 20 years. You refused to tell your daughter who her father is. You denied it when bill asked you if it could be him, and then out of nowhere, you– you what? You change your mind. You get a paternity test done after all this time, time that luna could have known her father, time that bill could have spent with his daughter.

Poppy: It was time that I needed.

Katie: But why? For what? No. No. Something doesn’t add up here, and I’m gonna find out what it is.

Hope: Well, you can’t be surprised. I mean, ridge has wanted to revamp the bedroom line for a while now.

Brooke: I just didn’t picture myself as the spokesperson.

Hope: Oh, why not? It’s your line.

Brooke: It was a long time ago.

Hope: Well, I think it is a great idea. I think of the message you would be sending about timeless beauty and that a woman can feel confident and sexy at every age. I think it’s exciting.

Brooke: Well, I am flattered. And everything ridge was saying was so sweet. I am interested. But am I the right fit for that demographic? Lingerie.

Hope: Well, you wear it, don’t you?

Brooke: Yes.

Hope: And you are as gorgeous as ever.

[Brooke laughs]

Brooke: Honey, that is so sweet. I appreciate your support. Really, I do. I’m not fishing for compliments. I’m just having qualms about wearing lingerie in front of a camera.

Hope: Well, I think anyone would be nervous about that. But, mom, I mean, you say it makes you feel sexy and confident, and maybe that could be a way for you to help other women feel sexy and confident, too. I’m just saying, think about it. You can always tell ridge no. I personally am hoping you will say yes.

Brooke: I already did.

Hope: Wha–oh, my god!

[Both laughing] Congratulations.

Brooke: Oh, thank you.

Steffy: I was here, dad. I was here when you pitched this to brooke. I saw the video. You wanted her to be the spokesperson.

Ridge: I know. I know you weren’t thrilled about it.

Steffy: Of course I’m not thrilled about it. I’m co-ceo. You need to consult me on these things.

Ridge: I did consult you. I told you we’re gonna retool the line. I told you that.

Steffy: Okay. Bringing brooke on, that’s not a relaunch, dad. That’s a flashback. And honestly, that’s something I really don’t want to flashback to.

Ridge: Oh, so this isn’t about business at all. This is about family history.

Steffy: No, it is about business, okay? I’m asking you from a business standpoint, why brooke? Like, there are so many beautiful models in this building. There are so many celebrities who would sign on. Why brooke?

Ridge: She is more beautiful than she ever was, and everyone around the world loves her. That’s why.

Steffy: You unilaterally brought brooke into the executive team, and I had zero say. You want to push brooke to be the lead model? The line is already profitable. I’m sorry, dad. I think you are making a huge mistake. When you purchase a pair of bombas socks,

Bill: There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you, li.

Li: I owe you far more than you owe me.

Bill: You’ve helped give me a daughter. You’re under the spencer umbrella now.

Bill: What’s going on?

Li: I’m sorry. I’m just–I’m just so relieved my niece has you in her life. The way you’re so proud and happy to be her father. That’s what a family should look like. I think of mine and…[Sighs] All the grueling hours I put in, all the hard work, all the years. Then my… marriage was destroyed by a lie. Sheila’s affair with my husband. A secret he kept for decades.

Bill: Jack let you down. I won’T. Ask my boys. Family is my priority. Now I have a daughter… due in large part to you.

Li: Bill, you saved my life. That’s the least I could do to repay you.

Ridge: Putting brooke front and center will send an empowering message to women all over the world.

Steffy: You’re not doing this to expand the demographic. You want to do this for brooke. I mean everything. It’s brooke, brooke, brooke.

Hope: I can’t believe you already said yes.

Brooke: I got swept up in the moment. Ridge was saying all these wonderful things about me, and he got me revved up about the idea and saying what a difference I could make.

Hope: Wow. That’s because you will.

Brooke: He is launching a global campaign. How could I possibly say no?

Hope: Oh, my gosh. It’s so exciting, mom. I mean, it will be amazing. You will be amazing. I am beyond thrilled for you, mom. Really I am. Just try not to overthink it, okay? Just be your wonderful self.

Brooke: Oh. Thank you, sweetheart.

Poppy: Who is she to question me like that? The nerve coming into my home, ask me questions. “I’m gonna find the answers. I’ve got questions.”

Luna: Mom? Hi. What’s wrong?

Poppy: It is nothing for you to worry about, sweetheart.

Luna: Okay. But you seem upset. So what happened?

Poppy: I just had another run-in with bill’s ex-wife.

[Knocking]

Katie: Hey.

Li: Katie. Hi.

Katie: Hi. Um, do you have a minute?

Li: Sure. Come on in. What can I do for you?

Katie: I just came from bill’s, and I had another unpleasant experience with your sister, and I was wondering if you could help me with it.

[Instructor] Hold it! Hold it!

Luna: What happened with katie?

Poppy: Oh, that infuriating woman. Just so judgmental and just sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong.

Luna: Oh, my goD. What did she say to you?

Poppy: It doesn’t matter, okay? It’s nothing for you to worry about. You just enjoy this new life that you’re sharing with bill.

Luna: I am. And I love it, mom.

Poppy: I do, too. And I will do whatever it takes to keep it.

Li: You want me to help you with penelope?

Katie: I understand the two of you aren’t close.

Li: We haven’t been for a while.

Katie: Can I ask you about that?

Li: It’s no secret. I don’t like the way she’s lived her life. She refuses to try to make it on her own. She’s always relied on the generosity of wealthy older men.

Katie: So you’re pretty much calling her a gold digger.

Li: Yeah, I’m trying to put that behind me.

Katie: But you have concerns. So do I actually. Which is why I have to ask you.

Li: What?

Katie: You did the paternity test for bill and luna. Is there any chance, any chance at all that… the test could be wrong?

Hope: Well, I think this is going to be great for you and the line.

Brooke: Thank you, honey. I appreciate your support. I do.

Hope: Well, I’m not going to be the only one behind you. It sounds like ridge is all for it.

Ridge: Right. Yes. His idea.

Hope: And it is one that is going to pay off big time.

[Brooke sighs]

Brooke: I just wish I had your confidence.

Hope: Well, where do you think I got it from? Mom, you come alive in the spotlight. It’s a gift. You generate all of this buzz and electricity. It is marvelous to watch. And I know that brooke’s bedroom and the relaunch is going to be a huge success.

Brooke: I’m glad you think so.

[Sighs] But I know somebody who’s not going to be so excited.

Hope: Steffy.

Steffy: Revamping the line means going forward. You want to go backwards.

Ridge: The bedroom line is part of the forrester legacy. And so, by the way, is brooke.

Steffy: I can see that you’re really excited about this.

Ridge: I am excited about it. I am. I haven’t been this excited in a long time. I’m excited to design for couture. I’m excited about this line being relaunched and about this amazing, empowering message that we’re sending out into the world. Women can be who they want to be right now.

Steffy: I–I get that. And I think that’s something forrester needs to stand behind. But I think it’s going to be lost if brooke is the spokesperson.

Ridge: She’d be a perfect spokesperson for this.

Steffy: No, the spotlight will be on brooke and not the message. Look, I know you want to put brooke front and center because she is your logan. She’s always been your logan. Nothing new there.

[Sighs]

Ridge: I’m really sorry. I’m sorry that the family breakup is still hurting you.

Steffy: So you agree you’re elevating brooke.

Ridge: No, I’m not– no, I’m not elevating anybody. It’s–she has made a lot of contributions to this company without me.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah. She tore her family apart.

Ridge: Oh, my goodness. What are you–[Sighs] What do you think happened? Do you think she hit me over the head with a club and started dragging me to a cave? No. I left your mother. I did that. So if you want to be mad at somebody, be mad at me. Or even better, don’t be mad at anybody. Whatever resentment you have, just try to get past that. Not for me or for brooke. For you. Can you try and do that? Steffy, I love you so much. I’m so proud of you. You gotta know that. Everything you’re doing here, the work you’re doing is amazing. The way you fight for your family, the way you fight for your marriage. You get up every day and you grab life by the throat. I’ve never seen anything like it. You-you-you’re the most intense woman I’ve ever seen. So I know you can get past this. I know you can. Because this whole forrester versus logan, that’s gone. That’s done.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[light music]

– Hey, boss. You wanted to see me? – Yeah, come on in. – Thanks. So what’s going on? – Well, I heard about your encounter at the Pub yesterday. – The Pub?

Mm-hmm. Roman Brady’s greasy spoon, that pub. Want to explain why you didn’t tell me about it?

[intriguing music]

Sorry if I woke you. I just needed my rosary before I head back to the hospital to see my brother.

How’s he doing?

He’s still in a coma. Now, if you’ll excuse me. – No. We need to talk.

Why don’t you go home and get some rest?

I’m OK.

Well, you can’t sit here hours a day. You know that Rafe wouldn’t want you to do that.

I know. I’m afraid. I’m afraid that if I leave his side, he’ll–

You can’t think that way. Come on. He’s a fighter. You know that. Really.

Yeah, but the machines, they’re still breathing for him. And there’s no sign that he’s getting any better.

That doesn’t mean that he won’t.

But it doesn’t mean that he will either. Be honest with me, Kayla. What are the chances that he’ll ever wake up?

That’s not the same knife you used to stab Rafe in the back, is it? – No, that would be unsanitary. Besides I left that planted between his shoulder blades. I’m assuming it’s in some police evidence locker.

Hmm. And you’re not worried about your prints showing up?

Oh, please, do you take me for an amateur? I wore gloves. No one’s ever going to know it was me.

Unless Rafe wakes up from his coma, in which case you’re screwed.

[light guitar music]

– Sorry, Commish. I didn’t think Crazy Connie would take it that far, but… nothing I can do about it now. I see no reason to waste this golden opportunity to get closer with Jada. I should probably get over to the hospital now.

Everett?

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

– Steph, I–I didn’t see you standing there.

I–I couldn’t help but overhear.

Overhear what?

Did you say you’re heading to the hospital?

Yes, I am. I–I have my therapy appointment with Dr. Evans. – Right, of course. How’s it going? – Great. Yeah. I’m making a ton of progress. – I’m so glad to hear that. – Well, don’t get too excited. I don’t want you to think we’re getting back together.

I–I didn’t think that.

Good. I just don’t want there to be any confusion. Anyway, I should get going. – I wish I could give you a definitive answer of when Rafe will wake up, but there really is no way of knowing. – Well, I think the chances are that the longer he’s out, the longer it’ll take him he’ll wake up, right? – I don’t trust the odds. And if it’s any consolation to you, Rafe has been through this before, and he has made a full recovery. – He has? He’s never mentioned that to me before. – Well, it was years ago. He was attacked and almost killed. I mean, things looked pretty dire back then. But Rafe had a strong spirit. And he has a strong spirit now. There are a lot of people praying for him. There’s no reason to think that he won’t come back to us. – Well, I hope you’re right because he has a lot left to do in this world. – I was up most of the night at the hospital. I don’t have the energy for another fight. – I don’t want to fight with you either. I just need you to stop pushing me away. – Please move. – No. I didn’t say a word when you told me not to come to the hospital last night and certainly not when you decided to move out of our room. But now I need you to stop being so stubborn, and let me be there for you.

Aren’t you still mad at me for revealing that EJ lied about Jude? You said I may have started another war with your brother.

OK, none of that matters now. Doesn’t matter now that your brother is fighting for his life. So please, let me help you through this. I know how scared you must be.

Yeah, it’s more than scary. I’m scared I’m gonna lose him.

Come here. Come here.

I knew I should have said something to you.

Yes, you should have. It’s me, Ava.

How did you find out about it anyway?

Gabi left a message last night.

Gabi?

Yes. She said that she ran into you at the Pub and pitched you the idea of reviving Gabi Chic at DiMera.

Right, Gabi Chic.

Mm-hmm. And why didn’t you tell me about this offer?

Because it’s a terrible idea.

Says who?

Says me. And you well know that I slept with her husband while she was in prison.

God. And she doesn’t know about that, don’t she?

No, she does not, OK? But she hates me. And there’s no way that I’m going to be sitting side by side next to her.

Actually, that’s exactly what you’re going to do.

Gabi Chic is a valuable asset. And it will give us a chance to compete with Basic Black.

So this is about Brady?

No, this is nothing to do with Brady. Unlike you, I don’t let my personal feelings get in the way of a smart business decision, which this most certainly is. So you’re just going to have to suck it up and accept the fact that you’ll be working with a woman whose husband you did sleep with. So… I want you to track her down and get her to sign with us today before she changes her mind.

Don’t you think Gabi’s got more important things on her mind right now? Like the fact that her brother is in a coma.

I’m used to Rafe being this big, strong hero. You know?

Yeah.

My protector. Now he’s just lying in that bed helpless.

Cops have any idea who did this to him?

Not yet. I just keep thinking about the way it happened– stabbed in the back.

Like Li?

Yeah, like Li. And it makes me think, I mean, what if there’s a connection?

But Gil Carter’s dead. How could that be?

Well, apparently, Everett Lynch’s alter, Bobby, claims he knows that Gil wasn’t the killer.

Oh. And you think he’s telling the truth?

I don’t know. But if he is, that means the person that murdered Li is still out there.

All the evidence pointed toward Gil Carter. And that was the evidence that we used to get your conviction overturned. I mean, Rafe himself was convinced. I don’t know. Maybe this is just some horrible coincidence?

Maybe. All I know is I just want my big brother back.

[music playing]

Thank you. I know I’ve been trying to push you away. But it feels really good to have you here with me.

I will always be here for you whenever you need me.

Promise? – I promise. – Make love to me, Stefan.

Listen, Hernandez. I’m going to need you to get better. You know I am not a patient woman. You know I hate red lights. Remember that time you were going to cite me for hitting my siren at that long red light? And I know that you deserve a little rest, but I’m going to need you to wake up, OK? I mean, not just for me, but for everyone at the department, for your friends and your family, Gabi. I want you to know that the whole community is praying for you. And I hope that you can feel that. I hope you know how much I love you. You know, these past few months has been the happiest that I have ever been. And I am not ready to lose that. We have a whole lifetime of happiness ahead of us. So, Rafe, will you please, please wake up? So I can hold you again, and so you can help me find the person who hurt you.

Rafe’s barely hanging on. I doubt he’ll make some sort of a miraculous comeback.

And if he does?

He didn’t see me. I came up from behind him.

You’re being awfully coldhearted about all this. – What do you mean?

I mean, an innocent man is in a coma thanks to you. And you seem to just be going about your day without an ounce of remorse.

What was I supposed to do? Bobby was going to tell Detective Hunter what I did to you. And the only way to keep him from blabbing was to get rid of the Commish.

And how do you know he won’t still blab? What if Bobby doesn’t hold up his end of the bargain?

I am sure Gabi is very upset about her brother. But you and I both know that she has no problem setting aside her emotions in order to get what she wants. And look, I know that you two have your issues, and that you feel guilty about sleeping with her husband while she was behind bars. But if you want this job, you are going to have to get over it. – Fine. I will go talk to Gabi today. And I will make her an offer.

Great. I took the liberty of having a contract drawn up.

Fine. For the record, I still think this is a terrible idea.

Yeah, and for the record, I don’t care. So track down my sister-in-law and get her to sign on the dotted line.

[laughter]

[sighs] Feels like now’s a good time to say I’m sorry for the whole mess with EJ. What?

How do I know you actually mean it?

Well, I’m not sorry Eric got his kid back. And yes, it was very satisfying to screw your brother over after he sent me to prison. But I’m sorry I betrayed your trust. I really am.

Well, I accept your apology. I do. I’m sorry I got so mad at you.

You had every right to be mad.

No. Not after how long we were apart. Not after I almost lost you for good. I shouldn’t have let something like that come between us.

Easy to say. You were hurt. And I don’t blame you. When it comes to other people, we can lie, cheat, steal. You and I need to be able to trust each other. Give me your hand. I swear I’ll never keep secrets from you ever again. From now on, honesty and trust.

Honesty and trust.

It sounds like I missed quite a wedding. – Well, two weddings– double the drama.

I still can’t believe that Theresa orchestrated that whole scheme.

I know.

I mean, stealing Xander’s birthright. You know, I really thought that she had turned a corner.

Me too. And the way she treated Alex.

How is he doing? – He’s a mess. Why wouldn’t he be?

So you’ve seen him after this whole thing went down? – He took off from the wedding. And I followed him just to try to comfort him best I could. But I don’t think it did much good. – You comforted him? – Well, not like that. – Well, I mean, I just mean that the two of you have a history. – And that’s all it is– history. – Right. Right. That’s right. You and Everett are back together now that he’s been released from Bayview, right? – Well, actually, that’s history too.

[knocking] – Everett, what are you doing here?

I’m so sorry to intrude. I just–I heard the news about Rafe. And I wanted to tell you how sorry I am. – Oh, that’s very kind of you. – How’s he doing? – Not good. The doctors aren’t even sure if he’ll ever wake up. – It’s terrible. Do the police have any leads on who could have done this? – Forensics is analyzing the knife now to see if they can pick up any prints or DNA. But besides that, we don’t have much to go on.

Well, if I can help at all, let me know. I’ve got a team of journalists at The Spectator. I could put them on the case see if they could dig anything up.

Thanks, but I think it’s best that the police handle this.

I understand. I just–I want you to know that you have the full support of not just the newspaper, but me personally. Whatever you need, I’m here for you. – What reason does Bobby have to double cross me?

He was using his knowledge about my murder to cozy up to Detective Hunter.

So?

So what if he decided to ID you as my killer as a way to ingratiate himself to her? I don’t mean to rain on your parade, Connie, but this plan of yours could possibly just blow up in your face. – I appreciate your concern, Li, especially since I’m the reason you’re, you know, dead. But I’m not worried. Bobby will be careful around Detective Hunter. He’s shrewd.

So is Jada Hunter. And Bobby’s her ex. What if she figures out he’s faking?

She won’t.

I hope you’re right. Because if he’s caught, Bobby will have no reason not to throw you under the bus.

I appreciate your offer to help, Everett. But I have to admit I’m a bit confused by it.

Why is that?

Because you and I, we barely know each other.

True. But I was in a coma for a year. So I have a lot of sympathy for the situation. – Right. And you have a lot going on. So you got to get your life back on track. I don’t want to be an imposition.

You could never be that. Look, um… The truth is I– I’ve been continuing my outpatient therapy with Dr. Evans. And… the integration process has been, like, really successful so far.

That’s great.

Yeah. I mean, I can’t say I fully understand it yet, but I don’t know. I’m–I’m starting to feel like Bobby’s becoming part of who I am.

Really? Already?

I’m sure I’ve got a long way to go. But yeah, I feel like– I don’t know–like, I think I’m starting to remember some of Bobby’s life.

Do you happen to have any memories on the murder of Li Shin?

Li Shin? Yeah, you’ve mentioned that before.

Well, Bobby claimed that he had some information on the death of Li Shin. – Oh. Wow. No. No, I don’t know anything about that. Sorry. – No need to apologize. But if something comes back to you, you let me know.

Of course. And just to clarif, what I said before about remembering Bobby’s life, I meant I’m starting to sort of feel what he’s feeling now, especially when it comes to you. – Sweetheart, I–sorry. I know how excited you were that Everett was coming back. – I was, foolishly in retrospect, since I was all set to tell him that I was ready for a serious relationship. It turns out he’s just not ready. – Well, that’s understandable. He might just want to focus on his mental health, you know? – Which I fully support. – But it still hurts. – Yeah, it does. Everett’s a great guy. And I’m really gonna miss him, even if it seems he won’t miss me. – What? – He seemed pretty glad to be rid of me. – What are you talking about?

Before you got here, I ran into him. Mom, he was so dismissive, so cold. – All set. You know, some would say this was the savviest negotiation since the big man himself was in charge. – Are you now comparing yourself to Stefano?

Just saying. – All right, leave before your head gets too big to fit through the doorway. – You know what? I am going to get out of here before I bump into Ava.

Oh, don’t worry about it. She’s not here. She’s off trying to convince your wife to bring Gabi Chic back to DiMera.

Oh, Gabi.

Ava. – Hey. – Hey. I know this is a really bad time. I’m very sorry about Rafe.

Sorry you’re not the one who did it?

Oh, come on, Gabi. Come on. I know things ended badly between us, but I care deeply about Rafe. I would never wish this on him.

Right. So what do you want? – Well, if you’ve got a few minutes, I’d like to talk business.

Is this about Gabi Chic?

I talked it over with Kristen, and we decided we would love to have you revive your brand with DiMera.

So I was right to go over your head.

I wouldn’t say that.

Kristen forced you to come to me, huh? It couldn’t have been easy for you.

Look, we completely understand if you need to concentrate on your brother right now, but it is a standing offer. So if you’d like to take a few months before jumping in–

That’s very considerate of you, but we don’t know when Rafe’s situation might change. And jumping back in the game with Gabi Chic would be a welcome distraction.

Are you sure? – Yes. In fact, one of the last things that Rafe said to me before he was attacked was that I needed to start thinking about getting my life back together. It’s almost like he gave me his blessing.

That’s great.

So got a contract for me to sign?

Seems surprisingly fair.

Well, Kristen is eager to have you back in the fold. Feel free to have your lawyers take a look at it, get a second set of eyes on it. – That’s OK. When I was CEO of DiMera, I worked with plenty of contracts like this. Seems pretty standard.

Um, Wait.

What’s the problem?

No, no, no problem. I just–I want to make sure that you realize how much work it’s going to take to start your company again. – Are you trying to talk me out of this? – No, not at all. And Kristen is eager to have you on board. And therefore, so am I. I just– you know, I don’t want you to sign and then have regrets when the workload starts to come on in, especially since you’re going to have to be juggling Rafe’s medical needs. – Oh, I see. – You see what? – You’re right. I may not be up for it. – No, I didn’t say that. – Look, I ran all of DiMera. I can certainly handle the pressure of Gabi Chic. It’s a deal. I know you have your personal doubts, but I can promise you, neither one of us are going to regret working together. – I’m sorry. Did you just say that Gabi and Ava are going to be working together? – That’s the plan. – OK, why? Why? Why? Why the hell would you do that? – Hey, it was Gabi’s idea. I mean, she’s the one who wants to restart Gabi Chic here at DiMera. – OK. But of course, she didn’t realize that she’d be working with the woman who slept with her husband.

Yeah, but she doesn’t know about that. And Ava’s not gonna tell her. I mean, Ava wasn’t too thrilled about the situation either.

Of course, she wasn’t. So why did you move forward with it?

Because it’s good for business. – Right. You sure about that? Or is this your way of getting back at me and Gabi?

Listen to me. Do not take Everett’s behavior personally. Look, he has been locked in his psyche for months. I’m sure it is just really disorienting to be back, you know? – Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. I shouldn’t take it personally. And I shouldn’t complain. I’m glad that Everett is himself again. And he deserves to live a life he chooses for himself. – I am so proud of you. – Thanks, Mom.

Oh. My break is over. Listen. Why don’t we have a girls’ night tonight?

Really? You sure you’re up for it?

%. Look, your dad’s still in Greece. You can come over. We’ll order in. We’ll watch a movie.

Well, can we do popcorn and ice cream?

You know it now, huh? I love you, baby girl.

I love you too.

All right. See you in a bit, OK? – OK. – If you’re suggesting that you’re developing feelings for me–

No, no. I just– I know Bobby really cared about you. And I guess I’m starting to feel that affection. I just wanted to come and offer my support as a friend. – OK. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Not at all. It’s a very confusing situation.

Yeah, for all of us. But the important thing is that you’re getting healthy.

That means a lot coming from you.

You know, I am suddenly starving, so I’m gonna grab some takeout.

You know, I’m headed into town. I can pick something up for you. – Oh, no, I could– I could use the fresh air. – I understand. If you need anything, just call. I’m just trying to busy myself, you know, other than work. I’m trying to stay busy now that I’m alone.

Alone? What about Stephanie? – Oh, yeah, we– we’re not seeing each other anymore. Sadly, that had to end.

So sorry to hear that. – That’s OK. It’s for the best. Anyway, I’ll see you around. – I’ve been ruminating on what you said about Bobby. And maybe you’re right. He could turn out to be a liability. – What are you gonna do about it? – Well, I guess if it comes to it, I’ll have to get him out of the way just like I did the Commish. – And now, why would I want to get back at you and Gabi? – I don’t know, Kristen. Maybe for the way we stole your DiMera shares?

You mean the way you made it look like I was abusing my own daughter? – Yeah, that. – Yeah, that. And I was very upset about it. But… we can let all that go, right? Because now we have a mutual disdain that we can bond over– our brother EJ. – I’m glad we’ll always have something to bond over.

Mm-hmm. So you can let go of your paranoia and know that I am not out to get you and Gabi. And I am not gonna spill the beans over your one-night stand. I wouldn’t do that to Ava. – What about Ava? – Oh, I was just filling Stefan in on how you’ll be working with Gabi. – It’s a done deal. – Jada. – Steph, hi. – I’m so sorry about Rafe. How are you holding up? – I’m hanging in there. But how are you? I saw Everett, and he told me that you two broke up. – Yeah, we did. I’m surprised he told you about that, considering all you’re going through.

Right. Well, he was acting very weird. – Well, what do you mean?

Let’s just say he just wasn’t acting like himself at all.

Oh, my God. Do you think it’s possible– – That Everett really isn’t Everett? Yeah, I do. – Everett.

Dr. Johnson. – Hi. You know what? I was so glad to hear about your breakthrough that you’re doing better.

Yeah, I am. Thank you. Thank you. – Wait. Do you have a minute? Actually, I’d like to talk to you about my daughter.

Oh? What about?

Well, Stephanie told me that the two of you aren’t seeing each other anymore.

Yeah, I’m sure she told you I really need to focus on my–on my recovery.

Yeah, she did. But she also was very upset about how dismissive you were with her earlier. And I just thought that you should know how much she cares about you. And maybe it’s none of my business, but I was just hoping that you would be a little more sensitive to her feelings.

You’re absolutely right. It is none of your business.

What are you doing in here?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: I’m so glad to see you. My hot, sexy, doctor husband.

[Finn chuckles]

Finn: I’m happy to be with you.

Steffy: Well, I was–I was expecting you a little sooner. What held you up?

Hope: I find you attractive. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about you and what it would be like to be with you from time to time.

Finn: Okay, hope.

Hope: I know. We are adults. But… can a girl dream?

Brooke: Oh, there you are. Did you hear? Sheila got released from custody.

Hope: Oh, I–yes, I heard.

Brooke: You did?

Hope: Yes. I was with finn when dad texted him.

[Birds chirping]

Poppy: You know.

Bill: What?

Poppy: Luna isn’t home right now.

Bill: Are you saying we have this whole place to ourselves?

Poppy: Uh-huh. So I figured that we could start in the bedroom.

Bill: Start, huh? I do like the sound of that. But I don’t think I’ll have the time I need to devote to those activities. I have someplace I need to be, but I promise I’ll make it up to you.

Poppy: All right. I’m gonna hold you to that.

Bill: You do that.

[Phone chiming]

Poppy: All right. I’m gonna take this upstairs.

Bill: Okay.

Poppy: But… I’ll see you later.

[Bill chuckles]

Poppy: Hey. What’s going on?

Bill: Katie. What a pleasant surprise.

Katie: Yeah, well, I need to talk to you about our son and all the changes in your life.

Katie: I know this seems like I’m not letting this go, but I’m concerned. Your life has changed so much, so quickly.

Bill: You have no need to be concerned. Poppy and luna being in my life, it’s all good.

Katie: See, that’s just it. I’m not so sure it is all good. I’m sorry. This is a bit new for me. I mean, I’ve been concerned or worried about you in the past, but that was different. This is– this is different. You’ve always been so self-assured and stubborn and pigheaded.

Bill: Self-assured, stubborn, pigheaded. Yes. Those are the abcs of me.

Katie: See?

Bill: See what? You’re right.

Katie: I just don’t like that you’re not paying attention to what I’m trying to tell you. This thing with poppy and luna, I–I don’t know if it’s everything it appears to be, and I’m worried.

Finn: What about my sexy… ceo wife? How are things here?

Steffy: Uh…hi.

Finn: Not so good?

Steffy: I’m just, uh– I’m a little frustrated.

Finn: Come here. Hey.

Steffy: Hmm?

Finn: What’s going on? I’m all ears.

Steffy: Brooke and hope. It’s all logans… all the time.

Brooke: So, you were with finn?

Hope: Yes. I, um– he happened to run into me, and I was with him when he heard the news. Dad thought he should know right away.

Brooke: Hmm. Okay. Well, it’s all quite shocking. I mean, we all believe that sheila was responsible for the deaths of hollis and the homeless man. Were you able to talk to your father about this?

Hope: Um, we’ve been texting, but he said that he would give me a call once they got settled at home.

Brooke: You can only imagine how steffy took the news, and I’m sure that finn is beside himself, too.

Hope: Actually, I think finn might be a little relieved, knowing that sheila was released. “I got you” by the beginners

Brooke: Finn’s happy about sheila’s release?

Hope: I said relieved, mom. Happy is not at all how I would describe finn.

Brooke: Well, I’m just surprised he would have that kind of reaction after what he said to chief baker.

Hope: Well, I mean, he’s not naive. He knows what sheila’s capable of.

Brooke: Well, that’s why I thought he’d be upset, enraged even.

Hope: Okay, finn obviously wants her to be questioned. That is the right thing to do in this circumstance, given sheila’s history, given her threats to his family. He just wants to protect them as best as he can. He wants due diligence. But I believe that deep down, perhaps finn didn’t believe that sheila was behind tom and hollis’s deaths. I’m really just worried about finn having to tell steffy the news and what her reaction might be.

Steffy: Hope’s just been particularly difficult lately, and I’m trying so hard not to lose my patience.

Finn: You two just don’t understand each other’s motives. Maybe that’s why you’re…

Steffy: Don’t say what I think you’re gonna say here.

Finn: Wait. What? What am I gonna say?

Steffy: I don’t know, that maybe hope and I align on more than we think. Okay, maybe hope and I have similar adjacent goals, but hope is fighting me on everything. And brooke isn’t helping. I feel like I’m in this impossible situation with these two women who are against me.

[Phone chimes] Ugh! Hold on. Let me check this. I think it could be the distributor. Oh. It’s my dad.

[Gasps] What?

Finn: What? Everything okay?

Steffy: Sheila. She’s been released? What? Wait. You already know?

Finn: Yeah. Deacon just texted me.

Steffy: Why didn’t you tell me that?

Finn: Well, honestly, I was torn.

Steffy: Sheila’s been released?

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: What are they thinking?

Katie: Don’t you think that everything, this whole situation with poppy and luna has just moved a little too fast?

Bill: I’ve already missed out on so much, katie, and I don’t like wasting time. You know that.

Katie: But that doesn’t mean you have to move them into your home and create this whole family unit. I mean, how well do you know them?

Bill: I know enough. They’re family. What more do I need to know? All right, listen, I really do appreciate your concern. And if the roles reversed, I’m sure I’d react the same way.

[Katie laughs]

Bill: Okay, fine. Fine. Yeah, I would be– I’d be much worse. But I’m telling you, your concern in this case is unwarranted.

Katie: Well, I wish I felt the same way.

Bill: You said you wanted to talk about will.

Katie: Yes. Will. He’s going to be home soon, and I’m concerned about how he’s going to fit into this whole thing with poppy and her– and your daughter.

Bill: I’m sure it’s all going to work out. Our son is nothing if not resilient. And you know what? He may love having a sister.

[Katie sighs] Okay, I can see that we’re going to come to no sort of agreement on this thing, and I have somewhere to go.

Katie: Okay, well, I’ve got some paperwork that I need to find for will, and I think it’s– I think it’s around here. I think it’s in there.

Bill: Okay, well, you’re good. I’ve got to get to this meeting. Right? You’re good.

Katie: But–before you go, I know that you’re enamored with the idea of having a daughter.

Bill: It’s not an idea, katie. Luna is my daughter, and I love her, and I vowed to take care of her. In fact, uh, we have discussed adoption. I’d like to make it official and give luna the spencer name.

Katie: Oh, my god. Bill, poppy and luna have not been in your life that long. I mean, you’ve moved them into your home, into will’s home, and now you’re talking about adoption and giving her your name? You need to be careful here, because I know you don’t want to believe it, but I get a weird vibe from poppy. Just please tell me that you’re being cautious. I’ll be cautious.

[Kisses] I’ve got to get to this meeting.

[Scoffs]

[Door closes]

Poppy: Anything I can help you find?

Katie: Oh. I didn’t know that you were here.

Poppy: You know, this is becoming a habit.

Katie: What is?

Poppy: Walking in and finding you in bill’s arms. Hi. I use febreze fade defy plug.

Brooke: Well, I hope finn doesn’t tell steffy that he’s relieved, because I don’t think that’s gonna go over well.

Hope: But his feelings are valid, mom. He should be able to tell his wife how he feels without it being some big betrayal.

Brooke: Steffy has been very upfront with finn when it comes to sheila.

Hope: And finn has been a wonderful husband to her. He has been loving and understanding and committed.

Brooke: Right. Committed to steffy. Now, I don’t need to remind you, do I, that he is married to steffy.

Hope: You can stop reminding me, mom. I know.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Hope: But I do question more and more if steffy deserves a man like finn.

Steffy: No, no, no, finn. This can’t be happening again. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Finn: It’s just– it’s shocking.

Steffy: No, no. How– how do the authorities just let her go like that? God, I thought that I could finally feel safe again, that I could finally breathe, and then– I can’t believe I allowed this. I can’t believe I allowed this.

Finn: Wait, wait, wait. What did you allow? Okay, her release isn’t on you.

Steffy: No, that I allowed myself to believe that justice would finally be served. But now sheila is out again, and now she has another opportunity to strike. She has another opportunity to show up at our house unannounced. You could be manipulated. She could hurt me or the kids. It just adds a whole other level of panic. How is this not over? I thought this fear could finally subside, this nightmare was over. Oh, my god. I don’t understand this. It had to have been sheila.

Poppy: I keep finding you in my home, badmouthing me to bill.

Katie: Well, I care about bill. He’s the father of my son. He’s important to me.

Poppy: Bill is also the father to my daughter, so obviously he’s important to me, too.

Katie: Well, if you want to know what I was saying to him, I’m happy to tell you. I’m not here to hide anything.

Poppy: No need, because I heard it all, every word, how you think this is moving too quickly, how he doesn’t know us well enough. And I agree. Katie, no one is more surprised and shocked than I am. Luna and I are not trying to invade or overtake anything. We are here because bill invited us, and he’s been more than generous and an absolute gentleman.

Katie: Ever the accommodating girlfriend.

Poppy: That’s right. I am his girlfriend. And I’m not going to hide how much I love him. You let him go. You having a little bit of seller’s remorse, katie? It’s kind of obvious. You want bill back, don’t you? At dot’s an ordinary pretzel just isn’t enough.

Finn: I hate how upset you are. And I totally understand. All I can do is assure you that you and the kids will always be safe.

Steffy: No, you make me feel safe. You do.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: And when you supported me when they took sheila in for questioning, like, that meant the world to me. I just don’t understand why the police could do something like this. Like, how could they let her go?

Finn: All we know is that– that there wasn’t anything tying her to the scene.

Steffy: Oh, god.

Finn: And it’s a possible lack of motive.

Steffy: You can’t be serious.

Finn: No, no, no. Think about it, babe. I mean, tom, why would sheila kill the man that saved her life and officiated their wedding? And hollis was a longtime employee, deacon’s friend. I don’t–like, what would the motive be there?

Steffy: I don’t know. Who knows why sheila does what she does? What I do know is that this woman is evil, and she is capable of doing something like this.

Finn: I agree. She’s capable. And don’t get me wrong. I am grateful that chief baker took her in for questioning. It was the right thing to do.

Steffy: Well, if sheila didn’t do it, who did? Who?

Poppy: Just admit it, katie. This is not about luna and me. It never has been. This is about you and your feelings for bill.

Katie: Something doesn’t make sense. I mean, you show up in town, and seemingly overnight, you have this daughter with bill. It was so abrupt, so sudden. I mean, I have a right to question that. This is the house where bill and I raised our son.

Poppy: Not anymore. This is now the house where bill and I are raising our daughter.

Katie: You know, will be home soon. He’s gonna be here, which means I’m gonna be here.

Poppy: So you’ll visit, and then you’ll leave.

[Katie sighs]

Katie: Something doesn’t add up. Bill doesn’t see it because he’s so in love with this idea of having a daughter. But I see it. Your story has holes. You hooked up with bill at a music festival a long time ago. So if you were that casual with men, then there must have been others. How many? You know, I’ve talked to luna. She’s told me how much she wanted to know who her father was and how much she wanted to have him in her life. And yet you’ve suspected for all of these years that bill could be her father and you kept it from her? I mean, why would you wait 20 years to take the steps, to find out for sure, to finally take a paternity test? Now you’re here, lady of the manor, protecting your relationship with bill, as if you’re worried that someone’s gonna sneak in and take it away from you. It’s almost as if you’re hiding something that could ruin everything. Oh, I’ve got a lot of questions about you, poppy, and I’m gonna find out the answers to every single one of them.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

If there’s anyone present who knows any reason why these two should not be joined in matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.

[intriguing music]

– I’m so sorry I’m late. – Who’s that?

Mum.

I’m so sorry. Forgive me, everyone. I didn’t mean to– Alexander, is that really you?

Hello, Mother.

Look at you.

[laughs] So handsome. You’re so grown up.

Yeah, it tends to happen when you miss a decade or so of someone’s life. – Yes, I suppose it does. Here we all are now together. At long last.

[exhales] Xander’s mother sure knows how to make an entrance. Paul.

Oh, sorry. I’m just sending Brady a text, making sure he’s okay. –

[sighs]

[tense music]

Mum, but why didn’t you tell us you were coming?

Well, I would have, but I was traveling when the invitation arrived. I did put the RSVP in the mail, but when I realized that it wouldn’t arrive on time, I threw caution to the wind and hopped on a plane. And I am just thrilled to be here for the happy couple. – Speaking of happy couple. – Oh, Xander, is this your lovely bride? – It is, yes. Mum, meet Dr. Sarah Horton. Sarah, this is Fiona Cook, my mother.

I’m so happy to meet you, and I’m very glad that you’re here.

I wouldn’t have missed this for the world.

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

– We are so happy that you’re here, Ms. Cook, to share in our special day. – Oh, Fiona, please. – Oh, okay. Fiona. It really–it means a lot to all three of us.

All three?

Oh, of course. Um… this is your granddaughter, Victoria.

Whoa. Oh, my. Victoria? Named after Victor? – That’s right. – Huh, I suppose that’s appropriate. Mm, what a lovely, lovely child. Hello, darling. I’m your grandma. Yes, I am.

Hello, Fiona. I’m Victoria’s other grandmother. – Uh, I’m so sorry. Yes. This is my mom, Maggie Kiriakis. – Kiriakis? – I’m also Victor’s widow. – Oh. – It’s nice to meet you. – Likewise. And I’m very sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Victor and I were close many years ago. – Of course. You were, uh, married to Victor’s brother. – Um. You know what? We could just catch up later, can’t we? Can we just get on with this wedding?

Wow. – Mm. both: Hey. – Oh, is it nighttime already? Wow, I was starting to get cabin fever up there. Oof.

Oh, no. You weren’t being held prisoner again, were you?

I might as well have been.

[laughs] I’m really grateful that Kristen gave me this job, but after an entire day of studying spreadsheets, I, uh, could really use one of those.

Mm. Mm. – Wait, wait, wait. I thought you didn’t drink.

I don’t.

[enigmatic music]

[exhales] – I’m sorry. And you are? – Theresa Donovan. – Um, don’t you mean Theresa Kiriakis? – Yeah. – See, you may have noticed not one bride, but two, Ms. Cook. This here is a double wedding. One down, one to go. See, uh, Theresa here just married Victor’s son.

Victor’s son?

Hi there.

Oh, you must be Philip?

No, Victor’s other son, Alex.

I’m sorry. I thought Bo Brady was Victor’s only other son. Forgive me. Been out of the loop this last–well, many years.

Mm, don’t even worry about it. Honestly I just found out I was Victor’s son after he died. All my life I thought I was his nephew.

Hmm. How interesting.

Huh.

And how did this revelation come–

You know what? What does it matter? Really, we’re just wasting time here. I mean, aren’t we here for a wedding?

[laughs]

Take it easy, Theresa. I mean, what’s the hurry?

“What’s the hurry?” The hurry is that I just wanna finish this double wedding so that we can get to the celebration.

Mm.

Yes, of course you do. Well, you all do. I’m so sorry, I just brought everything to a crashing halt.

No, no. It’s okay, Fiona.

No, it’s just that having been gone so long, I have many questions about the Kiriakis side of the family.

Mm, it’s not all that complicated. After we found Victor’s will, it included a letter from my mother that he wrote to Victor naming me his son.

Did you say a letter?

Yeah.

[tense music]

You said you learned you were Victor’s son from a letter?

Yeah, my mother wrote a letter to Victor many years ago.

Really? Do you still have it?

Why do you ask?

Uh, Maggie, can we just get on with the ceremony, please?

No, I’m sorry, this won’t wait.

I’m–I’m–I’m very confused. I don’t understand.

Mum, what is this about?

[sighs] Well, I’m sorry to tell you this, dear, especially on what’s supposed to be a joyous occasion, but your cousin Alex here is a fraud.

[dramatic music]

You–uh, you want me to call someone for you?

Who are you gonna call?

I don’t know, your sponsor maybe?

Sponsor? Oh, that’d–ooh– that’d be Maggie. And she is–she’s busy. She’s officiating her daughter’s wedding.

Ah, right. Xander and Sarah’s wedding. What? You didn’t want to go?

No, I went. I-I left at the half. Ergo my dapper attire.

Oh, you left the wedding at halftime?

Yeah, it was–it was– it was a twofer. Double wedding, big deal. Uh, you have Xander Cook and Sarah Horton, and then on the other side you have, uh, my ex-wife Theresa and my, wait for it, newly discovered uncle, Alex Kiriakis. So I-I-I stayed for the latter, watched them get hitched, and then I got the hell outta there.

Mm. I see.

You know what?

[sighs] They deserve– they deserve a toast. They deserve a toast that other, the latter couple.

Okay.

So I’m gonna do that, all right?

Okay.

Here we go. To the happy couple, to the– to them, you know, may they live happily ever whatever in their whatever is happy to them in the ever after–

[laughs] Whatever’s happy for them.

Yes. Brady, Brady, Brady.

Yay! – Um, listen. Mm, okay, there you go. – What? – Na– you know, I’m just– I’m just thinking that, um, the way you’re knocking those back, I’m thinking that you’re very much not happy. You want to talk about it?

[light ambient music]

– How dare you. My husband is not a fraud.

My God, Mum. What–what is this about? What are you trying to do?

Trying to stop a travesty of justice. –

[scoffs] –

[laughs] You’ve all been fooled by this man. – Lady, I have no idea what you’re talking about. – Oh, I think you do. You see, Alex here has been posing as Victor’s son, but it’s all a lie.

What? He’s not posing. We all saw the letter.

Victor wanted him to know the truth.

[intriguing music]

Show it to me, Alex.

Show you what?

The letter.

Mum, you’re making a scene.

If you’re not hiding anything, let me see it.

I have it. I have it right here.

Convenient. – As Alex said, it’s from his mother. She wrote it to Victor not long after Alex was born.

“Sincerely Anjelica”?

Yeah, my late mother, Anjelica Deveraux.

This Anjelica person may well be your mother, but I can assure you she did not write this letter.

Huh, and how do you know that?

Because I did.

You’re saying you wrote this letter?

I did, yes. I wrote it, and I sent it to Victor.

Listen, I don’t know you, but this is my wedding and that letter has nothing to do with you. It’s about me, my mother, and my father.

I’m afraid it’s not.

Mum, what are you doing?

Something that I should have done many years ago, but I was too ashamed.

Fiona, just say what you were trying to say.

I’m really sorry that it has to come out like this.

[sighs softly] But many years ago, when I was married to his brother Titus, I slept with Victor and I got pregnant.

Ooh! Now it’s a Salem wedding.

[laughs]

You–you got pregnant with Victor?

Yes. I didn’t want Titus to know I’d betrayed him, so I privately wrote to Victor telling him about his son, Alexander.

I’m Alexander.

Yes, but it’s–

But what? That’s the name he was given at birth.

And it’s also the name I gave you, Xander. Titus and the rest of the family might have called you Alexandros, but to me, you were always my little Alexander.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. But we’ve all seen that letter, and it was signed by Anjelica.

Mm-hmm, yeah. Well, I don’t know how this woman’s signature got here, but when I wrote this letter, I signed it myself. Someone else must have changed the signature later.

No, no, no. This can’t be right.

Dear God.

How did you obtain this letter? – It was in a briefcase among Victor’s personal effects. The ISA returned it to us after Victor’s plane crash.

Could someone else have had access to the briefcase?

[tense music]

Um, that one’s on me.

Thanks. But, Brady, um, for the record, I do not think you should be drinking. But I’m not your sponsor, and I’m not your mother.

[laughs] And I am the last person who should be lecturing anyone on the choices that they make.

And plus, you can’t stop me.

No, I cannot.

So come on. There you go.

So I am guessing that since you are not at the wedding reception and you are here basically chug-a-lugging these martinis that you, uh– you still got feelings for your ex.

[sighs] I didn’t think I did. You know, I thought it was over, I really, really did. But you know what she did? She–she lured me– lured me– lured me in the bed. – Oh, did she? She lured you, huh? – She did. She was on the outs with Alex at the time. And she got into my ear, and she went, “Brady, remember how good we used to be? “Remember? Remember how it felt? Maybe we should be a little more than co-parents.” – Oh. So you slept with her. – Yeah, I did. – Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But hey, hey, hey, it was the first time in a long, long time, okay? – Mm.

But then, hey, the morning came and everything changed. Alex comes crawling back in. “Theresa, I-I want to be with you. I-I want this to work,” you know. And then–then kicked my ass to the curb. How ’bout that? – How ’bout that? I’m sorry. That sucks. – It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s my own fault. I fell prey to her–her BS. – Right. Right. Now, listen, I’m not– I’m not so sure this is gonna make you feel any better, but, uh, I got my own doomed love story. – Tell me a Harris story, come on.

[laughs] Yeah. Well, you know, I thought that we were going somewhere. Turns out he was going right out of town. Right out of town.

Oof. Ah.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

[sighs] Ava, what do they say?

Hmm?

“Love makes fools of us all.”

[sighs] Ain’t that the truth? Amen. – It was you, wasn’t it?

What–what was me?

You had access to the letter.

What?

In Greece. Your father left Victor’s briefcase in that hotel room with you. And you were alone while Brady and I were out looking for answers about Victor’s death.

What are you accusing me of? – Damn it, Theresa! Tell me the truth.

[tense music] Tell me the truth.

This is crazy.

No, no! You’re crazy. You’re crazy. Brady was right, wasn’t he? You opened the damn briefcase, but you didn’t find a letter that said that I was Victor’s heir, did you? – You found a letter naming Alexander.

And you made it look like that Alexander was me.

No. No. You’ve got it–

Admit it!

No.

Admit it!

You have it wrong. They have it wrong.

For once in your miserable life, tell the truth. You changed the letter? Tell me the truth! You changed the letter. –

[breathing heavily] I–yes.

[sighs]

Yeah, it was me. I changed the letter. I’m sorry.

Oh, my God. You made me and everybody else believe I was Victor’s son.

[unsettling music] How could you do that? – Isn’t it obvious?

Go ahead. Explain yourself, Theresa.

Well… okay. When my father left, I was alone with the briefcase, and I just got curious, so jimmied it open and I– I found Fiona’s letter. And as I was reading it, I realized that the circumstances of the letter fit you just as much as they fit Xander.

[sighs]

You even had the same birth names. So… all it took was just changing the signature.

You are a sick woman, you know that?

You really hated Xander that much?

I hated the thought of him being so rich and powerful. The damage–

Damage? You want to talk about damage, Theresa? You lying, vindictive– – No. Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t. – So this was more about punishing Xander than it was about me, right?

No. – No? – No, no. – That’s not it? – No, no. It wasn’t–it wasn’t like– – That it wasn’t like that? How was it? How was it? How was it? We all want to know. We all want to know, how did you do it? huh? What, are you some expert in forgery now? Or did somebody help you? – Yes.

So you, what, found a forger in Greece? On short notice? – We weren’t gone that long, Theresa. Where–how did you do it? How did you find somebody? –

[sniffles] I didn’t have to. They found me. – Who? Who found you? – Konstantin Meleounis.

–

[sighs] so Harris got a lead on Megan Hathaway from Hope, and then he took a leave from the force, and poof! He was just gone. –

[sucks teeth] Poof! – Poof. – Then he just–just ended your relationship with that. – Yeah. Mm-hmm. – Ugh. Yeah, he said he just couldn’t get past, um, trust issues.

[laughs] – Yeah. But, you know–no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. In his defense, he– I will say I did lie to him. Repeatedly. About, um… – Ooh. What? Tell me. – Well. – Come on. – Yeah. Let’s just say, unlike you, I brought it all upon myself.

Doesn’t make it hurt any less, does it? – No. No, it doesn’t.

[sighs] I’m glad– I’m glad that Harris is God knows where, because then you don’t have to see that face, which is a constant reminder of what you lost.

You mean like how you have to see Theresa and Alex?

[sighs] God, Ava. Right now, right now they are over there in the Horton Square just–just having a hell of a good time, a hell of a good time on their wedding night.

Konstantin was there?

[tearfully] Yes.

Why was he at the hotel?

He’d–he’d heard about Victor’s briefcase. And he thought he was in the will, and… When he found out that he wasn’t, I mentioned my idea to him. And he offered to forge Anjelica’s signature. – Theresa, are you saying that you’ve been working with Konstantin this whole time?

I didn’t intend to be. I didn’t know he was just gonna show up in Salem like that, the way he did.

So all that time he was conning us into believing that he cared about my mother, you knew that he was just after her money. – I didn’t know that he was dangerous. I didn’t know he was planning to kill her. – This whole thing was a lie. –

[gasps shakily] No.

This whole thing was a lie, Theresa. You never loved me. You loved the money. This was about Victor’s money.

No. No. That–that’s really not true.

Yes, it is.

Alex, can we just–can we just go somewhere and talk?

There is nothing–

Let’s go somewhere and talk.

There’s nothing to talk about. Brady accused you of knowing that I was there before you slept with me, and you were so insulted. And you insisted that you were falling in love with me before you knew. Everything was a lie.

Just let me explain. Just let me explain.

But you already have explained. You’ve been deceiving everyone for months. And you took something that was rightly mine, Theresa, and you gave it to him for your own vile and greedy purposes. – Xander, don’t even feel bad. Don’t feel bad, because the way I see it, you got a better end of the deal, really. ‘Cause she may have screwed you over, but at least you didn’t– you didn’t marry her.

[sobs]

[somber music]

– You okay? – I can’t believe it.

I’m so sorry for everything that’s happened. – I just feel so stupid. Brady tried to warn me, you tried to warn me. I was so caught up with being Victor Kiriakis’ son, I didn’t even question it. This whole thing was a lie, just like this marriage.

Well, there’s one good thing. Justin is actually your father.

[gentle melancholic music] – That is a good thing. Hey, Dad. –

[laughs] Son, come here. Oh. I love you. – I love you.

[breathes deeply] Love you.

And looks like I’m still your kid brother after all. –

[laughs]

Another good thing. – Get in here. –

[laughs]

[groans]

[sighs] Oh, man. Oh, I’m so damn grateful for both of you, really. I mean, I just can’t stop thinking about the fact that this woman that I married was lying to me about who I was for all these months. – Okay. Look. Alex, we’ll get the marriage annulled. I’ll call the police, report the fraud. I’ll make sure that Theresa can never ever hurt you again. And if you want to make a statement right now, we can do that. – Look, I’m sorry. I-I, uh–I think right now, I just need to get outta here.

–

[laughs] –

[hums] Mm. – Oh, thank you. Yeah. No. Mm-mm. – Hmm? – No, I think I’ve had enough. – Are you sure? –

[laughs] Yeah. Oh, God. I think I’m just gonna– I’m gonna go upstairs, and I’m gonna go to bed early. – Okay. Hey, um, you want some company?

Oh. You, uh, offering? – Yeah, um, I thought you want to feel good, I want to feel good. Maybe we could feel good together.

Yeah, we probably would. Tonight.

Yeah.

But then tomorrow, probably not so much when my new boss skins me alive.

[laughs]

Look at me. Hey, Kristen– Kristen, she doesn’t need to know anything. She doesn’t need to know anything. –

[laughs] Brady. – It’s fine. It’s fine.

You know as well as I do that secrets do not stay buried in this town. And, uh, as tempted as I am…

[light jazz music] Yeah, you know, I have made impulsive choices before, especially when I have been drinking. – Yeah. – And, uh… they have always turned out to be a mistake. – Okay. Can’t blame a guy for trying, right?

No. Yeah. Listen, Brady, I understand why you may want to drown yourself in booze, in me.

[sighs] Well.

But come on. Listen to me. Listen to me. Try not to think about Theresa for too long. She’s a married woman now. You gotta move on, right? –

[sucks teeth] You gotta move on.

Hey. Listen to me, listen. It’s her loss, ’cause you’re a great guy.

Appreciate that.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Uh-huh. Wait. Wait. No. How you getting home?

[sighs] Roller blades. – Oh, fun. – I’m kidding. I’m gonna order a car. I’m gonna order a car, right? –

[laughs] Hey. – I promise. Promise.

All right. Take care of yourself.

You too, Ava.

That poor kid.

Yeah. This is a tough one. But we’ll be here when he’s ready. – Justin, I know this is gonna sound really weird right now, especially with Alex hurting so much, but honestly I– I couldn’t be happier that he’s your son.

[sobs] Oh. – Yeah. Oh, my God. – Hey, come here, you. – Come here.

[laughs] – Buddy. – What kind of despicable human being is that Theresa woman? And how on earth could you want to share your wedding with someone like that? – What about you? – Me? – You lied to me my whole life. – Alexander. – You knew that Victor was my father and you– you kept that from me. – Yes, because we didn’t want to hurt Titus. Victor and I agreed that he would be devastated if he found out about our affair, and especially that you weren’t his son. – Okay, but what about after he died? –

[sighs] Do you think I was in any kind of shape to deal with this then? I fell apart after your father– after Titus died. And you and I, we were barely speaking at that point. – You had no idea? – How could I? Titus was my dad. When he died–

[sobs] when he died, I fell apart too, but my mum was nowhere to be found. She was off somewhere drinking herself to oblivion. – I’m so sorry that I wasn’t there for you. – Well, I don’t want you here now either. So go. Just get out of my sight. – But–but–but I came to your wedding. I want to get to know my grandchild. – He asked you to leave, Fiona. So please do.

[dark music]

– Hey, are you okay? – Yeah, I’m fine. Let’s, uh– let’s get married. – Now? – Xander, we could move the ceremony to another time. – Right, but we’ve– we’ve waited so long for this day. – I know, baby, I know. We can wait a little bit longer, okay? Let’s just–let’s go home and we’ll sort everything out, Okay? – Okay. – Okay. – All right. I’ll see you back there.

[somber music]

– Hey. – Hi. – So…

[sighs] Where’s your boyfriend? Hey, just between you, me and Lady Whistleblower– never mind, this could be just between you and me. You are a lovely guy, very handsome to boot. Andrew wasn’t conspiring with his sister, was he?

[intriguing music]

–

[sniffles]

[gasps] – Going somewhere, sis?

– You know, just once I wouldn’t mind a simple boring wedding. People exchange rings, they say the vows, and everyone goes home happy.

I’ve actually been to a couple of those. I wouldn’t call ’em boring. They’re actually pretty nice. – Oh, I don’t know. I like a little drama with my romance. Paul, Jackson, would you like some cake? – Whose cake is that? – Well, it’s Theresa and Alex’s, of course. Figured they’re not gonna be using it any time soon.

You cut into it yourself?

What? Just because the wedding was a disaster is no reason to let a perfectly good cake go to waste.

[playful music]

[phone beeps] –

[sighs] Hey, sis. Um, Theresa didn’t call you about the wedding? Okay. I see. Well, um, you might want to sit down.

Whatever you have to say to me, I really, really don’t need to hear it right now. – I don’t care what you need. My God, it was not enough for you to lie to your fiancé and his entire family. You had to lie to me too? – Wha– what are you talking about? – Your little kidnapping adventure with Konstantin. Ring a bell? – Just let me explain– – Stop. I-I don’t want to hear any more lies. I… you convinced me not to turn you in when I saw you on that footage. You swore that you’d only agreed to help Konstantin as part of some harebrained matchmaking scheme, but you were working with him the whole time so that the two of you could get your hands on Victor’s fortune. And you convinced Maggie that he was some hero just so he could help you sink your claws into Alex. – I care about him, I really do–

Stop, stop, Theresa! – I swear I do. – Stop lying.

[soft dark music]

–

[sniffles] Are you gonna turn me in now? Are you gonna tell everyone that– that I was Konstantin’s accomplice in Victoria’s kidnapping?

– No. But if you had a shred of dignity left, you would– you would do it yourself. –

[panting]

[despondent piano music]

[approaching footsteps] – Sorry, I know you probably wanted to be alone. I just wanted to see if you’re okay.

No. No, I’m not.

– Oof, I know a lot of crazy things have happened today.

Oh. – Mind-blowing in fact. – Uh-huh. – But you got the best news about two people you love very much. Victor didn’t lie to you all those years. And Alex is your son now and forever.

[gentle music]

Yeah. – Yeah. –

[laughs] – Yes. Mm, sweet girl, Mommy and Daddy will get married soon, I promise.

Hardly the wedding you were expecting. – I’ve had worse.

[laughs] – Are you all right? – Yeah, I’m okay. I just–I don’t know what happens next, but whatever it is, I’m gonna be there to help Xander through it.

[sighs]

[liquid pouring]

[sighs]

[mysterious music]

To you, Father. Looks like you saved the best joke till last.

[glass shatters]

Someone sitting here?

[sighs] Uh, she’s gone. So that–that drink is up for grabs. No one’s touched it. – Really? – Really. It’s all yours. It’s nice and strong.

How gallant.

Hope: There’s nothing wrong with having a little innocent conversation.

Finn: I don’t think it’s a good idea to be talking this way.

Steffy: What could you possibly attempt? There’s nothing you can do to me, hope.

Hope: Oh, come on. Are you surprised to find out that I have a little crush on you maybe? I mean, it can’t be that surprising.

Finn: Okay, listen, hope. I, um– I know you’re just having fun and playing around.

Hope: Perhaps. But you still haven’t told me. I mean, can you make a girl’s dreams come true?

Ridge: Well, you just interrupted a very important meeting.

Brooke: Your father and i locked the door for privacy, steffy.

Ridge: Yeah.

Steffy: I thought charlie forgot to unlock the door. I came in here ’cause I was looking for something. Oh, thank god.

Ridge: Well, I’ll call you. I got your text about reviewing the budget.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, you do that. I’m tripping over too many logans today.

Brooke: Sorry steffy found us together like that.

Ridge: I am sorry we were interrupted.

Brooke: Well, maybe we should pick this up when we get home later.

Ridge: Maybe. For sure, we gotta pick it up. But before all that, we should finish our discussion.

Brooke: Oh, about that. I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Ridge: Why is that? You created the bedroom line.

Brooke: Yes. That was a long time ago.

Ridge: Okay, so what? You were the face of it then. You should be now as well.

Brooke: I don’t think so, ridge. I don’t think I’m of appropriate age to be modeling lingerie, let alone be the face of…

Ridge: Why are you being ridiculous? You’re gorgeous. Maybe more gorgeous now than you were then.

[Sighs]

Liam: Hey.

Steffy: Hey. Look at you, liam. You’re looking sharp.

Liam: Uh, yeah. I’m supposed to meet with carter about the fashion summit.

Steffy: Yeah, monte carlo. It’s gonna be a blast. I can’t wait. I wish I could leave right now, actually.

Liam: Wow. Any particular reason?

Steffy: You know, I just want to be somewhere that’s logan-free, you know. Like, if there were a place where no logans were allowed, like, sign me up. I want to go. I would like to live there.

[Liam snickers]

Finn: Whatever’s going on with you, I’m, uh… I’m sensing my wife is right in the middle.

Hope: Mm. You may be right about that, and you may be wrong.

Finn: Did something go down between you guys?

Hope: Hmm. We might have gotten into a little bit of a tiff earlier.

Finn: So, this, um– this is about steffy. Is there any chance that you guys will ever get along?

Hope: I was willing to try, but I don’t really want to make this about steffy right now. This is all about you.

I have moderate to severe

plaque psoriasis.

Ridge: Well, I wish you would reconsider. Fashion summit in monte carlo’s approaching, and I think… it’d be the perfect place to restart your modeling career.

Brooke: Okay. I adore you for believing in me. I do.

Ridge: I believe in you because you’re the same woman I married all those years ago.

Brooke: I’m glad you still feel that way. It’s just– I don’t look like I did in my 20s and 30s.

Ridge: Who does?

[Brooke sighs] We’re better now. We have wisdom. We have experience. That’s beauty, real beauty.

Brooke: Well, to tell you the truth, I am nervous about putting myself out there and being scrutinized like that, like people saying, “who does she think she is?”

Ridge: All right, I understand all that. I get it. I don’t want you doing anything you don’t wanna you do. But we have…a real chance to do something special here, make a real impact with a lot of people. Because you, you’re living proof. You’re a unicorn. A freaking unicorn. Living proof that…beauty just gets better every year.

Steffy: All right, please keep me updated as we get closer. All right, thank you. Bye. Ah, the summit in monaco, it couldn’t come soon enough. It’s gonna be a lot of work, but I’m really excited to be spending this time with my father and away from anything and everything logan.

Liam: Well, here’s hoping you learn how to coexist.

Steffy: First, I need to show some decorum and respect here at the office. Like my father and brooke in the other room. Like, I can’t unsee that. I can’T.

Liam: I understand. I think you will survive both that and the whole thing with hope.

[Steffy sighs]

Steffy: Okay, I do think hope and I could get along if she’d just leave my husband alone and stop filling his head with all these insane ideas about sheila.

Liam: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Speaking of finn, I, uh–so, I was at the hospital earlier. I was getting my physical, and I took the opportunity to pay him a visit.

Steffy: Oh, I bet he was stoked about that.

Liam: No blood was shed. I promise. It was the opposite. I actually, um–I don’t know. I just wanted to commend him on his part in getting sheila in custody. The guy is actually… putting you and his family first now.

Finn: You know, I’ve been thinking about you lately and those migraines. Or did you even have migraines?

Hope: Yes. The migraines were real, unfortunately. Although they are better now, thanks to you and your help. You really do have magic hands.

Finn: Hmm. Wow. You are something today.

Hope: Sorry. I’m not making you nervous, am I?

Finn: No. I’ve performed thousands of surgeries. I– I have ice water in my veins.

Hope: Oh, I don’t know. Might be a little more hot-blooded than you think.

Finn: Good one. [Chuckles] Look, if you’re trying to get a rise out of me, it’s not gonna work.

Hope: Well, don’t count me out just yet. I still have time.

Finn: Well, on that note, I’m gonna go find my wife. And you should button up.

Hope: Ooh. It’s not often that men tell me to button up. Most men wouldn’T.

Finn: I’m not most men.

Hope: No. There it is.

[Phone beeps] Touché, john finnegan. Touché.

Finn: Hey, um… I just got a text from your dad.

Hope: About what?

Finn: Sheila’S… been released.

Hope: Wow. Uh, okay. Um, how does that make you feel? (Granddaughter laughing)

Brooke: It’s just hard to put into words. I mean, I feel good about myself. I always have.

Ridge: You should feel good about yourself. Look at you. You’re stunning.

Brooke: You’re biased. You like me no matter what.

Ridge: I like you no matter what, because this is undeniable. I’m looking at it.

Brooke: What? What? This body that blessed me with four wonderful children?

Ridge: Yeah, that body. You should be loud and proud with this thing. You should be on billboards, magazines, tv shows. You should celebrate where you are right now. Don’t go away. Stay right here. Ah. All right. I just finished this. This is from the line.

Brooke: Oh, wow.

Ridge: Will you try it on, please?

Brooke: This is exquisite.

Ridge: Come on. Just put it on. Be our champion, our legend, our icon.

Brooke: Okay. Well, if you put it that way, yes, but only for you.

Ridge: Thank you.

Steffy: Did I hear you correctly? Did you compliment my husband?

Liam: Uh, yes, I did. And, yes, I’m just as surprised as you are.

Steffy: Wow. Okay, we gotta send out a press release for that one.

Liam: Well, you know, he deserved it. He finally– he stood up for you and his family.

Steffy: He always does.

Liam: No, he does not always does. Not when it comes to sheila. That’s the whole problem.

Steffy: Oh, okay. But he’s had it up to here with his birth mother.

Liam: Well, good. I mean, better late than never. I know he’s been struggling with this. I know he’s been confused.

Steffy: Not anymore.

Liam: Well, yeah, not anymore. Yeah. If he can’t turn his back on sheila after these two mysterious deaths at il giardino, then…

Steffy: Well, let’s call it what it is. Cold, calculated murder.

Liam: Yeah, probably. I mean, let’s see what the investigation turns up, but either way, your boy came through, and he didn’t allow himself to be snowed by sheila, last minute or not.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m proud of him.

Liam: Let’s hope it sticks.

Steffy: Way to be optimistic.

Liam: I’m optimi– I’m optimistic. I’m just– it’s–I’m cautiously optimistic.

Steffy: Liam, trust me. It’s over. Sheila’s finally in custody.

Hope: So, sheila’s been released?

Finn: Yeah, that’s what deacon just texted me. I mean, apparently, after interrogating her, they found no evidence of guilt.

Hope: I really didn’t see that coming. Uh… I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

Finn: Uh, I mean, I–

Hope: Finn, come on. You know you can be real with me. I’m not going to judge you.

Finn: Yeah, no, I know. Uh, look, I mean, I– I guess part of me is relieved. I mean, deep down, I didn’t really believe that she murdered tom and hollis.

Hope: You didn’t?

Finn: I mean, not anymore. I mean, just the more time that I had to think about it, like, why would she? Like, what would be the reason? She’s happy. She’s focused on turning her life around. Why risk all of that? It doesn’t make sense.

Hope: Okay, to be honest, I don’t really know what to believe anymore.

Finn: No. Frankly, me neither. I mean, look, given her history, I thought it was important that the cops question her, but, I mean, the last thing that I wanted was for her to be found guilty of murdering tom and hollis.

Hope: I’m really happy for you, finn. I’ll be honest.

Liam: Well, it’s nice we can all relax, knowing sheila’s at the police station.

Steffy: Yeah. Next stop is prison. She can rot in that cell for the rest of her life.

Liam: Yeah, well, if there’s any justice in the universe.

Steffy: No, this is the end. She is not getting away with it this time.

Liam: Well, we said that because she shouldn’t have gotten away with it when she shot you and your husband, but still…

Steffy: I know. I know. But I’m really gonna enjoy watching her go down.

Liam: You’re really– you’re confident it’s her, right? Two deaths at il giardino in a matter of days?

Steffy: Absolutely. What, sheila lives 20 feet away? She’s the first person to find hollis’s body? There’s no coincidences here. This is an open-and-shut case. Liam, sheila’s finally gonna pay for her crimes.

Hope: I mean, I still don’t really trust sheila.

Finn: Well, I certainly don’t either. But… regardless, she’s now been interviewed and freed fair and square. I mean, sheila’s officially a free woman. And, yeah, no, I know what you’re thinking– that I’m getting swept up in my feelings for my birth mother.

Hope: Hmm. No. I just don’t want you getting into any more trouble.

Finn: I won’T. I’m not going anywhere near sheila. I’m gonna honor steffy and her wishes.

Hope: I still meant what I said. I am happy for you, finn, and my dad. Although I do think it was a mistake getting married to her. I mean, I probably shouldn’t have even been in that wedding, but I… did it for dad. That’s it.

Finn: Sounds like we’re basically on the same page.

Hope: Yeah, I think we’re pretty in sync in more ways than maybe even we can comprehend. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll be able to admit how in sync we really are.

[Finn chuckles]

Ridge: Do you need an extra hand?

Brooke: Nope. Just about finished.

Ridge: Because I designed it, I know where everything goes if you, I mean–you know.

Brooke: Ta-da!

[Laughs]

Ridge: You look amazing.

Brooke: Oh, ridge. You’re just saying that.

Ridge: I’m not–no. You–you. Wow. You look fantastic. See, this is why you need to be the face of the brooke bedroom line. This is it. Because no one else has this kind of charisma. No one else has the kind of energy it takes to make these pieces shine. Think of the story you could tell for women all over the world, that beauty is where you want it to be, no matter where you are in life. Do this for me. Come on. Do it for the company. No, do it for me.

Brooke: Well, it is nice to feel valued.

Ridge: You are valued. Because you’re irreplaceable. Come on.

[Brooke sighs] It’s funny, you know. I don’t feel my age. I feel like that young girl that I was when I met you. I know I’m getting older, and that’s okay. I mean, aging is a privilege, right? Not everybody gets to do it. So… this next chapter of my life, I look forward to taking risks and taking on all kinds of challenges, contributing to the community and not passing up an opportunity, but still staying true to myself. I have to tell you, the thought of modeling lingerie on a global stage is frightening as all heck.

[Laughs] But that’s what makes me want to do it.

[Gasps]

Ridge: What did you say? You gonna do it?

Brooke: Yes. Yes, I’m gonna do it.

Ridge: Yes?

Brooke: Yes.

Ridge: That is– that is what I wanted to hear. You’re not gonna regret this. You know. I know. My beautiful, beautiful logan. Thank you.

Brooke: Aw. Well, I’m only as beautiful as the love reflected in your eyes, my sexy, sexy man.

Ridge: I will always love you.

Brooke: I will always love you.

Ridge: But now the world is gonna fall in love with you all over again.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[gentle music]

– Nice night for a wedding.

[tense music]

– Well, I picked up the bouquets. – Oh.

Is everything all right in here? – Yeah, we’re just trying to solve a mystery. When the wedding invitations went out, Xander’s mother’s ended up in a trash can.

And I just assumed that Sarah changed her mind and tossed it.

Well, that’s the thing. I didn’t.

Well, then, who did?

Look, Justin, I get why you’re hurt. I do. But I don’t think it’s right for you to stand here in my father’s house and drag his name through the mud when he’s not even here to defend himself.

What he did was indefensible. And I, for one, don’t know how you can stand there, waxing sentimental about him!

Because he was my father.

So was I, damn it!

[dramatic music]

But you’re not anymore. And it’s about time you accept that.

– Yeah, Kim, it is too bad you and Shane can’t make it back for Theresa’s wedding. You’ll be missed. Oh, you better believe I’ll be there. Got to have at least one Brady to represent, right?

Let’s make it two, just so we’re covered.

[mellow country music]

[cars honking]

[keys jangling] –

[sighs]

[soft dramatic music]

Stop thinking about it. You and Theresa, you were– you were never good for each other. You were never good for each other. You were never… good for each other.

[heavy breathing]

[sighs]

[laughs] How am I gonna get through this wedding, huh? How are you gonna do this? How are you gonna do–

Ah.

– Whatcha up to there, bro?

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

Oh, hey, man. It’s great to see you. I had no idea that you were gonna be in town.

Ah, well, my boyfriend’s sister’s getting married, and Dad always says you have to show up for family when you can. – Ah. True, true. – Which is why I’m sure he’d want me to ask about that.

[sighs] – You off the wagon?

No. No. No. I was–I was– I was thinking about it. – Why, Brady? I mean, is it because of Theresa? Is it because she’s marrying someone else?

[soft dramatic music]

– How many times did you tell me that we would always be father and son? I guess that was all talk.

I didn’t mean to lash out like that. – Then what the hell did you mean?

I mean, I think it’s time for you to get over your anger at Victor. You don’t know why he let you believe you were my biological father; I don’t either. But I’m sure he had his reasons. – Then tell me one. – Well, I can’t do that–

Just tell me one reason that makes sense!

I can’t do that right now. And why does that matter? – It matters to me, Alex. It matters a whole lot, actually. Because a man that I considered my second father has pitted us against each other, and he’s doing it from his grave! – That’s what you think. You think I’m your enemy now? Because if that’s what you think, Justin, you think it’s all his doing, then you probably shouldn’t be officiating my damn wedding ceremony tonight.

Maybe I shouldn’t.

Good.

Good!

Fine.

Fine!

Doesn’t look so good and fine to me.

Well, sis, you do know how to keep a secret. Yep, Andrew just walked through the door. Of course I’ll give him your love. Talk soon.

[phone beeps] Oh.

[laughs] Oh, you are a sight for sore eyes, young man.

Well, since Mom and Dad couldn’t make it, I’m the designated family rep.

Which is just great. Theresa will be thrilled you came.

I hope so.

What do you mean? Why wouldn’t she be?

[tense music]

John and Steve asked the ISA to investigate the attempted kidnapping of Sarah Horton’s baby from the Kiriakis mansion.

Oh. And?

Well, Dad passed the case on to me. John and Steve sent in some surveillance photos to be enhanced by our technology. Imagine my shock when the face in the photos was yours.

Well, I don’t understand, Bonnie. Why would you think that Sarah would throw Xander’s mother’s invitation in the trash?

Well, because that’s where I found it when I accidentally knocked over the trash can.

Oh. – Finish your story! Well, did you ever find your clothes? Did you–did you have to jump into the flooded quarry? Was it deep enough? It was pitch black. You almost died.

Has anyone seen the stamps?

No. Wait, are you sitting on them?

Oh, no, wait! Oh. Oh.

I just assumed that Theresa got into Sarah’s head.

Theresa?

Mm-hmm. Well, she kept going on and on how she thought it was not a good idea to invite Xander’s mother to the wedding.

[sighs]

That’s right. She did go on and on about it. And I didn’t change my mind.

Well, if you didn’t do it, then who did?

Yeah. If you didn’t do it, and I didn’t do it, that means–

Okay. Yes, it was me.

[tense music]

Jack, I didn’t know you were back in town.

Yes. I am in Salem. My daughter’s body was being exhumed, except it wasn’t there.

I’m sorry. What was that again?

It seems Abigail may still be alive.

Jack, that’s– oh, my God. How is that even possible?

It’s complicated. I don’t want to talk about it.

No, I understand. I– well, I pray that it’s true.

As do I, of course. She died too young. Never had a chance to realize her full potential, raise her own children, or run the newspaper that was her birthright and legacy.

[soft dramatic music] You know the one I mean, the one you stole from us.

Hold on, Jack–

You don’t have to say anything. You– you have more important things on your mind. And I do hope that this double wedding goes better for you than your last one.

Jack, I–

Although I have to say that both you and Gwen landed on your feet, blackmailed “The Spectator” right out from under Jennifer and me.

Look, I admit– – And I– I wish you the best today on your wedding day. I do. I look forward to reading all about it in “The Spectator” tomorrow. I still read it, by the way. Force of habit. – Jack, wait, I– Take it back.

[soft dramatic music] – Excuse me? – The paper, Jack. Take the paper back.

– I didn’t tell Theresa I was coming. Maybe I should have. She doesn’t like to be caught off guard. – Oh, come on. Who doesn’t like a good surprise?

[gasps] Oh, my God! Andrew! Oh! I didn’t know you were coming.

I didn’t know if I could get away from my assignment. It helps to know people in high places.

Aw. Well, Theresa is gonna be so happy to see her big brother. She always worshipped you, you know.

Well, I am so happy to see you.

Aw.

And I can’t wait to catch up with Aunt Kayla and Uncle Steve.

Oh, no. Neither of them are going to the wedding. My dad’s out of town, and my mom’s stuck at the hospital.

Oh.

Well, Kate’s gonna be missing tonight too. She’s in LA trying to secure the rights to a soap opera, believe it or not.

[chuckles]

Long story. Hi, honey.

Hi. Hi.

So how you been, Andrew?

Oh, I’ve been great, really. Oh, Paul’s in town, too, by the way. He stopped by to see Brady. – I can’t wait to see him, but for now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to the kitchen, get some things squared away.

Mm-hmm.

Okay?

I hope Brady is doing okay. I got the impression at one point that maybe he and Theresa– you know what? Never mind. She’s marrying Alex. If there was anything between her and Brady, it’s over now.

Hmm. I’m sure Brady’s fine. But how about you? You were dating Alex not too long ago, right? How are you doing with all this?

Oh.

Sonny.

Hey.

Hey. So… did I come at a bad time?

No. No, not at all. I just didn’t think you’d be able to make it. This is great.

Of course. What, are you kidding me? You’re my brother, or cousin. Whatever. It doesn’t matter. Although I’ll always see you as my brother, no matter what. – I feel the exact same way. Thank you. I should probably go get ready. And I will let you catch up with your real son.

[soft dramatic music]

So I’m not sure what I just walked in on.

Don’t worry about it.

Of course I’m gonna worry about it. Are you okay? – No. I’m not.

I thought you and Theresa were over a long time ago.

[sighs] We were. We were. Look, right now, we’re just focusing on co-parenting, now that Tate and Theresa are back in town.

How is he, by the way? – He’s good. He’s good. He’s off to lacrosse camp right now, but I don’t know. Theresa was really upset that he couldn’t make it to the wedding. And honestly, this whole wedding came up like that, you know? I don’t– I still don’t understand why there was such a rush.

You don’t think– – That Theresa is doing it for the money? Yeah. Yeah, Paul, it crossed my mind, okay? But she–she did agree to sign a prenup, though. – Oh, so maybe not.

Yeah. – But if–big if– Theresa happens to still have feelings for someone other than the very wealthy guy she’s about to marry– – Look, if you’re subtly suggesting that I’m that guy, no, no. No, Theresa and I are over. We’ve been over for a long time. Why are you looking at me– don’t– why are you looking at me like that? – Because, I mean, I just get the impression that maybe you wish you and Theresa weren’t over.

[sighs] – That you still have feelings for her. Am I wrong?

[soft dramatic music] – You threw out the invitation? – How could you do such a thing?

Well, like I said, you know, Xander’s mother is an alcoholic. What if she– what if she causes a scene and she disrupts the whole wedding?

Or she’s sober now and would have loved to see her son and meet her granddaughter. I cannot believe you did that, Theresa. It’s really awful. It’s appalling, actually. – I know. That’s true. It is. I’m really sorry.

Well, no harm, no foul.

Really?

Yeah. Because I mailed the invitation myself.

[gasps, chuckles]

Mm-hmm.

[laughs]

– I mean it, Jack. I want you to take back my half of “The Spectator.”

But you–

I know what I was. I was angry. I was– I was desperate and leaning in to my worst impulses. And I regret it now, profoundly. And you should know. You–you actually got the better end of that deal.

How is that? – Well, you might have lost the paper, but I lost– I lost my best friend. Maybe the only one I’ve ever had. And “The Spectator,” it belongs to your family, not mine, to the extent I even have a family.

What will you do for money?

[exhales] I’ll figure something out. I mean, my wife is a doctor. It’s not like I have to worry about our daughter going hungry. I don’t want “The Spectator” anymore. I mean it. I’ll hire Justin to draw up the papers.

I’ll keep an eye on the mail.

[soft dramatic music]

You give my love to your bride. What exactly did she see in you?

That is the burning question, isn’t it? – Well, you got a good one. Earn it.

– Look, I just want to help. Okay? And I want to understand about that drink I saw in your hand from earlier.

[sighs] I never thought that I would feel that Theresa was the one that got away.

Well, you know, if– you don’t have to go to the wedding if you don’t– – No, I– I’m gonna go. I gotta go. I’m not gonna– not gonna back down now.

You gonna be okay?

[light tense music]

Yeah. I’m not going to drink this thing. I don’t need it. It was just a weak moment.

– I’ll go pour this out. – Hey, man. I’m really glad to see you.

– Sonny, I’m so grateful you’re here, ’cause I’ll be honest, I’m– I’m having a hard time. – I know. I am too. I mean, it’s surreal that… Uncle Vic would do this to you. I mean, to all of us. – I mourned him, I miss him, but I will never forgive him for this. – I won’t either. – Alex has. He’s perfectly content with the way things have turned out. And the more he embraces Victor, the more it feels like a slap in my face.

[sighs] And I’m– I’m having a hard time even believing that it’s true. I carry around this damn letter that Angelica wrote to Victor, reading it, rereading it, trying to find just one thing that will tell me that it’s all a mistake, that Alex really isn’t Victor’s son.

[sighs]

[paper rustles] Tell me I’m crazy. – You’re not crazy. You’re not crazy, okay? You’re kind.

[tender music] You’re caring. You’re an all-around great person. And I’ll always be your son, no matter what. I love you.

I love you, too, son. Oh, Sonny.

[door opens, shuts] Well, I’ll let you two catch up.

No, no, don’t– don’t go. I thought about what I said earlier, and I’m truly sorry. If I’m being honest with you, I would be grateful to have you marry Theresa and me today, if you’re willing.

– It would be my honor.

I’m very happy that Alex and Theresa are getting married. I gave her my blessing, and I meant it. Alex and I have been over for a long time.

Seeing anyone new?

I was. But not anymore. – Hmm. I’m sorry. – Oh, it wasn’t meant to be. And you know what? It’s kind of funny. I’ve been going through this revolving door of men lately, and meanwhile, wild child Theresa, she’s the one settling down.

She’s settled down a few times. Let’s just hope this one sticks.

I keep thinking about all the trouble we used to get into when we were growing up. – You mean that she got into. – Yeah, yeah. She’s a wild child, like I said.

[laughs] And you must be happy she turned over a new leaf.

That’s the dream.

[mellow acoustic music]

You did what?

Oh, I put a stamp on Fiona’s invitation and put it in the mail myself. Now, I know it wasn’t my place to do so, as it was not your place to throw it in the trash, but I figured Sarah would thank me later.

And I do thank you, Bonnie. It was very kind of you. I just wish Xander’s mom would have RSVP’d.

Well, maybe it never got to her.

Or maybe she just didn’t want to come at all, that or– it’s one or the other. – Well, again, truly, I’m sorry. But honestly, maybe you kind of dodged a bullet. – I don’t see it that way. And you should be sorry, Theresa.

[baby crying]

Oh, oh.

I’ll get her.

Thank you, Mom.

You know what? You need to get back there and start getting dressed, missy. – Okay. – Let’s go. March. Wedding march.

[laughs]

[door shuts] – Oh, my God. That woman better not show up or I am screwed.

[gasps]

[dramatic music]

[knocking at door] Sarah’s–Sarah’s in the– Andrew! Oh, my God, I can’t believe it!

[laughs] – You look gorgeous. – And you look so handsome, of course, as always. –

[chuckles] Come in. – Uh… – Oh, yeah, that’s, Victoria. I’m just watching her while Sarah’s getting ready. – Oh, the kid you kidnapped. – Shush. – Ironic.

[chuckles] Well, I haven’t said anything. I told you I wouldn’t, not even to Paul. And I’m assuming that you’ve been staying on the straight and narrow, like you promised. – I have. Totally have. – Hmm. Well, you sure misjudged Konstantin. You thought he was a sweet old guy trying to woo Maggie. He could have killed you, you know. – I know. That was the– one of the scariest moments of my whole life. – Mm. Well, you don’t have to worry about him anymore, and I don’t have to worry about you.

I’m so thankful for you. Thank you for covering for me.

Mm, yeah, I still don’t feel great about it. Sarah checked in the other day and asked if the ISA had any leads on Konstantin’s accomplice. I hated not being able to tell her that– – Not being able to tell me what?

[tense music]

– Thanks for letting me get changed in here.

Oh, consider this the Home for Naked Scots. – How’s that?

I said, anything for the boss. – Well, I’m not really your boss anymore. You know, I just gave my half of “The Spectator” back to Jack.

What? Why? – Well, let’s just say I had an attack of conscience.

What about having an attack of looking after me? Am I going to get fired?

Of course not. Who doesn’t love Lady Whistleblower?

Everybody whose whistle I’ve blown.

Well, lucky for you, that list does not include Jack. Now, I should get changed. I’ll see you downstairs, yeah?

[light jazzy music]

Leo.

I thought you weren’t supposed to wear underwear under that thing.

The Scots did invent going commando, yes, but I’ll see you downstairs.

Oh, fine. Be that way. Have the place to yourself, just you and all the hidden cameras.

Cameras? – I’m teasing. – Ah.

I’ll be downstairs where I’ll be covering the wedding for my ex-boss.

[sighs]

Maggie, hello.

Hi. – Sarah, I was just saying that I hated not being able to tell you that we had a lead in Victoria’s kidnapping, but with Konstantin dead, unfortunately, the trail’s gone cold.

Oh. Well, what do you know?

Well, we still assume that he hired a local thug to help him out, someone who would have no interest in causing you any more trouble now that Konstantin’s dead.

[soft dramatic music]

Yeah, I’m sure you’re right that there’s no danger, but still, just, whoever it was being out there, it’s disconcerting, to say the least. – You know, I just– I just realized something. Since Dad can’t come to the wedding, I don’t have anyone to walk me down the aisle, so could you maybe–

Jeannie Theresa, of all the nervy, pushy, last minute– I’d love to. – Oh! – Oh, wonderful.

Oh, wow. Well, it’s getting late. Look at the time. Why don’t you say we go have a wedding or two? – Well, Bonnie’s still doing her makeup. – Oh, well, put your feet up. We got a while then.

[laughs] – I must say, I’m so glad that the two of you are gonna be sharing the stage tonight. I mean, you’ve both grown up so beautifully, and you make me so proud. I love you, and I’m beyond thrilled for you both.

[tender music]

[elegant violin music]

[indistinct chatter] –

[sighs] Sonny! – Jeez. – Well, of course, you’re here for your brother– your cousin’s wedding. Where is your not-better-half? – Will couldn’t make it.

There it is. – There what is? – The angle for this wedding story I have desperately been seeking. Now, Will is related to both brides, if I parsed the family tree correctly? Is this surprise absence indicative of trouble in paradise?

Oh, does that question earn you a punch in the nose? – Jackson! There is no reason to take that tone. I do have journalistic ethics.

Oh. Here’s another of your exes. Hey, you two made such a better couple than Swill– or would it be Wonny? Literally the worst of the portmanteaus. But if you ever wise up and dump that buzzkill, you should go for this guy. – Is that a fact?

– Sorry, Sonny. I tried. – Hey, handsome devil. Congratulations. – Steph, how are you?

Oh, you are one lucky groom. And you know what? My cousin is one lucky bride. I’m so happy for you both. – Thank you.

– Oh, Victoria, those are beautiful flowers.

[chuckles] Well, she was supposed to be the flower girl, but she fell asleep. – Mm. I’m sure it’s gonna be a perfect day anyway. – I hope so. Are you doing okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I’m good.

Well, if you need anything.

Maggie, the last thing you need today is to worry about me.

So do you have your lines memorized? – I have a cheat sheet. – Oh, good. I mean, just kidding. You’ll be great. – You think? – Oh, yeah. – Well, I almost got fired from the job a few hours ago.

What?

Ah, it’s okay. Alex and I– I guess we’re just destined to be a work in progress.

Oh, honey. I hope one day Alex realizes how lucky he is to have a father like you in his life, as blessed as I am to have a husband like you in mine. – Everyone, please take your seats if you haven’t already. We’re about to get started. Places, you two.

Oh, look at us, the heir and the spare.

[chuckles] That’s a cute skirt. Are you ready to do this? – Share the spotlight with Victor’s billionaire bastard? Can’t wait, mate.

[soft tense music]

[harp playing wedding march]

[music stops]

Oh, wait. Oh, my God. We forgot to plan one of the most important details. – What? What is it? – Who’s getting married first?

[dramatic music]

[indistinct chatter] – Okay, I think that Xander and Sarah should go first since this was their wedding to begin with. – Well, maybe that’s why they should go second because you’re like the opening act to their star attraction.

Oh, thank you, Bonnie. – I really don’t care. – Me neither. – How about– how about we flip a coin? – Seriously? – Heads. – Tails. – All right.

[coin clinks] Heads it is. – Yes. – Wait, but does heads go first or last? – Oh, for God’s sake. – All right, you know what? I’m going to make another executive decision here, all right? Theresa, Alex, you’re on. How about that?

[gentle acoustic music] –

[laughs]

– Welcome, all, on this joyous day, family and friends here to celebrate the joining of two couples. We’re here to unite in matrimony Jeannie Theresa Donovan and Alexander Neil Kiriakis, and Sarah Horton and Alexander Cook Kiriakis. The marriage contract is not to be entered into lightly, but rather thoughtfully and seriously, with a deep appreciation of its obligations and responsibilities. If there’s anyone present who knows any reason why these two should not be joined in matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace. The groom and the bride will now say their vows. – For a long time, Theresa knows, everybody knows, I was nothing but a player. After coming to Salem, all of that changed. A lot of things changed. The biggest of them all was realizing that I was Victor Kiriakis’s son. That turned my world upside down, to put it mildly.

[soft dramatic music]

Theresa, I would never have made it through that if it weren’t for you. You helped me embrace who I really am. And for that, I will be eternally grateful.

You okay? – Yeah, I’m just a little choked up. – Okay. –

[clears throat] So I’m gonna keep this brief. I just have one thing I want to say to you. And that is, I– I just want to make you happy, and I will, Alex, because you deserve that.

Alex, please repeat after me. I, Alexander Neil Kiriakis, take you, Jeannie Theresa Donovan, to be my lawful wedded wife.

[tender music] – I, Alexander Neil Kiriakis, do take you, Jeannie Theresa Donovan, to be my lawful wedded wife.

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, so long as we both shall live. – To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer…

Through sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live.

Now you, Theresa. I, Jeannie Theresa Donovan, take you, Alexander Neil Kiriakis, to be my lawful wedded husband.

– I, Jeannie Theresa Donovan, take you, Alexander Neil Kiriakis, to be my lawfully wedded husband.

– May I have the rings, please?

Alex, place this ring on Theresa’s finger and say these words. With this ring, I wed you as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and cherish you. – With this ring, I wed you… as a symbol of my commitment to love, to honor and cherish you. – Theresa, please place this ring on Alex’s finger and say these words. With this ring, I wed you as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and cherish you.

With this ring, I wed you as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and cherish you.

– It is with great pleasure that I, by the power vested in me, now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss each other.

[cheers and applause]

[tender music]

– Allow me to introduce for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Kiriakis.

[cheers and applause]

[tense music]

– Brady. – Hey. I got to go. I got to go. Listen, I’m headed to a meeting, all right? So, no, I’m fine. Please stay.

– Hey. Don’t print that. – Ugh. Do you have X-ray vision? Can you read upside down? How do you know what I wrote? – I’m a spy. I know all. Plus, I saw you watch Brady walk out of here. – Not my fault that’s the best view.

– Okay, if everyone could please take your seats, ’cause guess what? We’ve got to do this again.

[laughs]

Well, are you two ready?

[sentimental music]

Okay. Well, it is my honor and pleasure to preside over the final wedding tonight of my beloved daughter, Sarah, to the only man who she’s ever truly loved. I’m blessed to have known Xander for many years and watched him come into his own and be changed by my daughter’s love. It gives me great joy to see them walk through the fire and emerge stronger with a beloved daughter, my granddaughter, who was named after my husband, who we lost recently. I know that Victor– he would be very happy that his family has come together in this way tonight.

So if there is anyone here who knows any reason why these two should not be joined in matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.

I’m so sorry I’m late.

[dramatic music]

Who’s that?

Mum?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Last night was incredible. I haven’t felt so connected to you in A… very long time.

Finn: I couldn’t agree more.

Steffy: Not–[Laughs] Not just about that. I mean, that was amazing, but it–it was more than that. I’m really grateful that you supported me and you encouraged chief baker to take sheila in for questioning.

Finn: Have you seen the paper today?

Steffy: Yeah, I’m looking at it right now, actually. Do you think she’s actually gonna be charged for her crimes this time? Like, I just want sheila out of our lives for good. I don’t think I could take anything else. At least it’s a little bit of good news. Uh, hey, babe, I gotta go.

Finn: Okay. Have a great day.

Steffy: You, too. I love you so much.

Finn: I love you, too.

Hope: Finn?

Steffy: Yeah.

Hope: I heard what happened. So he’s supportive of sheila getting taken in for questioning?

Steffy: Yep. Whatever gray area you think exists for finn when it comes to his mother, it’s gone. He supports me over sheila.

[Knocking]

Liam: Hi. You, uh– you got a sec?

Finn: Liam. Hey. Uh, yeah. Come in.

Liam: Yeah, I was, uh– I was just at my annual physical. Uh, I figured maybe I would stop by and do something I haven’t done in…a while– give you credit.

Ridge: You know, we live in this town, and… sometimes you turn around, there’s trouble. But lately, we turn around, and l the trouble we can find is sheila. Woman can’t help herself, can she?

Brooke: No. She was out free. She even tricked deacon into marriage, resorted to her old ways.

Ridge: Well, she’s in custody now, so…

Brooke: Well, hopefully, she stays there.

Ridge: I like what finn did today. He supported his wife. It was good.

Brooke: He did. Yes.

Ridge: Well, that’s enough. Enough about sheila. Let’s talk about the beautiful logan.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Mm-hmm. Hi.

Brooke: You want to focus on me, huh?

Ridge: Mm-hmm. Specifically, your beauty. That’s what I’ve been focusing on.

Brooke: Oh, I see. Been working on the bedroom.

Ridge: Yeah, nonstop since you said you were gonna be the star of it.

Brooke: Did I say star, or did I say dip my toe in?

Ridge: Nothing. No, nothing about toes. You said star. You want to be the star of it.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Brooke: I don’t know. It’s just– I’m not sure if I should be modeling lingerie at my age.

Ridge: I looked it up. 25 is the perfect time to go back into it. Ask anybody.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: 30. It’s my last number.

Brooke: Aw, I’m too old.

Finn: You wanna give me credit?

Liam: Yeah, well, I just learned that sheila’s in custody.

Finn: For questioning. Formal charges have yet to be brought.

Liam: Yeah, but they gotta be imminent, right? Listen, it doesn’t matter. I don’t even–I don’t care why she’s locked up. The fact is that she’s locked up, and that means steffy and the kids can’t be hurt by her anymore. And from what I understand, you were very supportive of that. So… thank you for doing the right thing.

Steffy: Finn finally sees sheila for who she truly is. This connection he had to his mother, it’s permanently severed, despite your efforts to the contrary.

Hope: My efforts? Do you mean just listening to finn and validating his feelings?

Steffy: No. You did get into my husband’s head. You made him believe that there was a chance that sheila could be a regular person functioning in society. But that’s not true. Look what happened with hollis. Look what happened with tom. Do not interfere anymore, okay? Do not interfere in their relationship. Let’s pray that justice will finally be served.

Hope: Okay. Fine. That’s great. But, like, do you want to just keep adding to the list of things that I’m doing wrong, like things that you have an issue with me about, steffy. You continually undermine me here at the company. You undermine my mother’s place. You’ve interfered in my personal life. I mean, there’s just so many fun things for you to do.

Steffy: As co-ceo, my job right now is to focus on the lines we produce, the employees underneath me. That’s it. Why? Because I’m in charge, not you, hope, and certainly not your mom. Have you tried these new febreze car vent clips?

Ridge: What is going on with you? Why are you being ridiculous?

Brooke: Ridge, that’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid, looking ridiculous. Modeling lingerie at my age.

Ridge: What do you– at your age? You are more gorgeous than ever. Do you know what you do to me, like, on a daily basis? You–you are– I’m designing stuff, and I can’t get you out of my head. So all I’m doing is thinking about you all day, ’cause you’re so enticing. You’re gorgeous, and you get my blood going.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

[Brooke laughs]

Brooke: Well, it’s good to know that I still have it.

Ridge: Yeah, you still have it.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Mmm.

[Brooke moaning]

Liam: I admit I was worried about, well, you. I mean, where your mind was when it came to sheila.

Finn: I still believe people can change. Yeah, even someone like sheila. But if she killed two people, after all this talk about being a better person, it doesn’t even matter if she did it or not. I know that she cannot have a place in my life either way. But more importantly, steffy knows I know it. I’ve proven it to her. And because of that, steffy and I have never been stronger.

Liam: Well, that’s– that’s you sending me a message, right?

Finn: Yeah, liam, I am.

Hope: Look, steffy, I know you think that being a logan means that we have no class.

Steffy: No, I don’t think that. But I do believe you can be a little manipulative.

Hope: Says the woman who manipulated thomas into moving out of the country.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Stop pulling this victim card when it comes to thomas.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. I am not. But I’m also not going to be a fool, steffy. I know you would have been happy with thomas being with anyone as long as it wasn’t me. And it honestly makes me sad, because I thought at one point that, I don’t know, maybe we were close to really becoming friends. And I– I thought… that’s what you wanted. And I wanted it, too. But now, I mean, it just seems nearly impossible.

Steffy: Okay, look, I’m always gonna have thomas’s back. I’m not gonna support an unhealthy relationship.

Hope: That’s your perspective, steffy.

Steffy: This isn’t about you, hope. This is about my brother. I mean, he’s moved on. He’s engaged to another woman. I didn’t manipulate any of this. This was all thomas. The sooner you accept that he’s moved on, that he’s happy, we can–

Hope: I told you that I gave him my blessing, that I wished him and paris the best. Steffy, you got what you wanted. Isn’t that enough? You always do. But I don’t know. I would be careful, because one of these days, someone… might cut you down to size.

Steffy: You?

Time to press rewind with…

Liam: You know, I’m really not the one you have to send messages to about your commitment to your marriage. It’s– it’s steffy that needs to hear that stuff.

Finn: I’m actually on my way to see her now. Rest assured, liam, she and I have great communication. She knows where I stand and that I always put her first. And it is way past time that you learned that, too. I know that you’ve been going to see steffy, telling her that she can’t trust me, that I’m a mama’s boy or whatever. That has to stop, liam. I’m warning you. Don’t interfere with my marriage.

Steffy: Cut me down to size. What is that supposed to mean? Really? What could you possibly attempt? There’s nothing you can do to me, hope. I’ve already been through enough. I don’t want to deal with this. I certainly don’t want to deal with this kind of energy.

[Phone chimes] I have a lot going on right now. My schedule is nonstop, and– and zende wants to see you about your line. So why don’t you head on down, uh, backstage? Focus on hope for the future. Make use of your time instead of these veiled threats.

[Sighs] Ugh! Logans. Oh, god.

[Doorknob rattling] Damn it, charlie. How many times do I tell you? Unlock the doors before your shift.

[Scoffs] What? What on earth? Okay. Oh, no. Oh. Whoa. No. Ugh. Great. Great. Another logan.

Hope: No. The designs look gorgeous, zende. Yep, I’m looking at that one right now. Well, I can try it on next and let you know what I think. I’ll send you a photo. Okay. Sure. Yeah. I’ll see you when you get in. Okay.

Finn: Tell him it’s a normal reaction. He shouldn’t worry. I’m not at the hospital right now actually. I stepped out for a bit, but… oh, uh, I’m sorry. I have to go. Something came up. I am so sorry. I should have knocked.

Hope: No. Welcome to what it is like being in a fashion house. Although I’m sure you’ve seen more in your line of work. Hi. Hi, by the way.

Finn: Hi, yourself.

Hope: Well, I wasn’t expecting to have company back here. Clearly.

Finn: Yeah. I apologize. I was on my way to see steffy. I needed to take this call in a quiet place. I had no idea I’d be walking in on–on that.

Hope: It’s fine. Actually, this is hope for the future’s latest. What do you think?

I’m jimmy dean

and only one thing

Steffy: What are you doing? Can you just put on some clothes or something?

Brooke: Okay, well, we locked the door. We were expecting some privacy, actually.

Steffy: Oh, that’s great. Can you just wait till you get home? ‘Cause this is just–it’s too…

Ridge: Hey. What’s going on with you?

Steffy: Nothing. I don’t want to see this. This is weird. And I certainly don’t want to see brooke. Another logan.

Hope: You like what you see?

Finn: Uh, yeah. It’s very, um…

Hope: What?

Finn: Classy and, um, provocative. Uh… look, I should get out of your hair. You’re obviously in the middle of something.

Steffy: Cut me down to size. What is that supposed to mean? What could you possibly attempt? There’s nothing you can do to me, hope.

Hope: You know what? No. Finn, you– you don’t have to go. Besides, I think we should, um– we should talk about something. I mean, it’s no secret. I’m sure you can tell.

Finn: Tell what?

Hope: Well, okay. You gave me really good advice about thomas, that I deserved, you know, a man who wasn’t dishonorable to me in the past, that I should, you know, think about my own wants and desires and what I need and wait for a real love, which I believe I’ve found. For myself. I mean, the most important kind of love. And you helped me realize that. So, um, I just want to thank you because I was struggling, and you didn’t have to help me, but you did. And you are a selfless man, finn. And now’s the time I’m going to say it. Steffy is lucky to have you. Although I just am not sure how grateful she is to have that. Just seeing how she acts in the company, downplaying the logans’ contributions, continually disrespecting my mother and me. I mean, it’s like a constant battle. And so I’m just– I have to ask. Is that what it’s like at home? Does steffy appreciate you? Because you are a man, finn, who deserves to be appreciated. I mean, I’ll even admit it. I– I find you attractive. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about you and what it would be like to be with you from time to time.

Finn: Hope. You can’t talk this way.

Hope: No, I know. I know. We are adults, but… can’t a girl dream? Can’t a girl dream?

Here’s a look ahead.

Katie: I’m getting a weird vibe from poppy.

Deacon: What if somebody actually made it look like an overdose? In reality, it was a murder.

Brooke: I’m going to be the face of the bedroom line.

Hope: Oh, my god.

Brooke: Well, not just the face. I mean, it is lingerie after all.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[jazzy music]

Leo, come on, babe. You’ve gotta come up with something. Think of your fans, your Little Whistles or whatever they’re called, foaming at the mouth, waiting for their daily hit of titillating gossip. Fans like that woman who was waiting outside of Everett’s room. She was an odd bird, wasn’t she?

[knocking on door] Who is it?

Bonnie Kiriakis.

[door clicks open]

Speaking of odd birds.

Sorry. Old habits die hard.

Hello, Bonnie. To what do I owe the pleasure?

Well, I thought Lady Whistleblower just might be interested in the story of a century. –

[panting] – What’s going on here?

Well, what does it look like? Getting all pumped up for the big event tonight.

[laughs] Big event? I’m very confused. Are you preparing for a wrestling match?

[gasps] Is El Erótico coming out of retirement? – No, no, no, no, no. Tonight I–I’m marrying the most beautiful woman in the entire world.

Margot Robbie. Ana de Armas?

Wrong on both counts.

Hmm.

The woman I’m marrying…

Mm-hmm.

Is none other than Dr. Sarah Horton.

Oh, her? Yeah, she’s all right, I suppose. – She’s a bit more than all right. She’s absolutely perfect.

[sweet music]

Listen, I am elated we were able to lock in this deal. Seriously. And according to the forecast, Q and Q of this year are looking very profitable. Agreed. Yeah, so now that we’ve got that all taken care of, I am gonna go ahead and get ready for my wedding now. I appreciate the well wishes. Thank you. Take care.

[knocking on door] Come on in.

Hey. – Hey.

I just came by to see if you were ready for your big day.

Getting there. I just need to shower and change.

Yeah, and I won’t keep you. But there is something that I need to say. – Theresa, don’t you think it’s a little late in the game to have Tate come to your wedding? I mean, uh, the lacrosse camp is in– – Yeah, I know, it’s in upstate New York. I’m well aware. Flight’s only a couple of hours away. – Yeah, but it’s– it’s summertime. I mean, the likelihood of finding a flight, there’s the– the direct flights are gonna be sold out by now.

Well, then I’ll have Alex send the Titan jet.

You–you’re gonna– you’re gonna have the Titan jet pick our kid up at summer camp? You don’t think that’s kind of extravagant? – No, not for the future heir to the Kiriakis fortune. – Ah. I forgot you were marrying Jay Gatsby. –

[laughs mockingly] You know what? I’m gonna call that camp myself, actually. I’m gonna tell them to get ready because I’m sending a charter jet over there to pick up one of their campers.

[birds calling]

[knocking on door]

Oh, my God. – Who is that? – I don’t know. Just be quiet, and maybe they’ll go away. – Tate, Holly, I know you’re both in there.

[tense music]

And you two are so busted.

– Sophia? What are you doing here?

[sighs] I hope you two have enjoyed your little staycation because it’s all about to come to an end.

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

Listen, you’re not gonna talk me out of marrying Theresa. – No, no. She signed the prenup. End of story. – Okay, good. Because I don’t want to fight with you, Justin. Not today. – Believe me, Alex, I don’t want to fight with you either. – Good. Well, then if you’re here not to warn me about Theresa, what’d you come here to say?

If it’s all right with you, I would like to perform your wedding ceremony.

[gentle music]

Theresa, Theresa. No, no, no, no.

What are you doing?

Let our son–just let him be. Let him get settled into camp. Let him make some friends.

His mother is getting married. You don’t think he wants to be there?

Theresa, I think you’re just overestimating a teenager’s interest in weddings in general. Look. Look at the time. Look. There’s no way you’re gonna get the jet fueled and prepared to go. And you’re gonna run out of time. It’s not gonna work. I’m sorry.

[sighs]

I suppose you’re right.

[clicks tongue] Damn it. I really wanted him to be there.

Theresa, all right. I’ll send him a bunch of videos from the ceremony, okay? Why do you have that look on your face? What?

Because I just– ugh, I can’t help but just think this is all Holly’s fault, you know? Because if she would have just kept her distance from Tate, we wouldn’t have had to send him off for the summer.

[scoffs, sniffs] But at least now we know that he’s not in her clutches.

You know, I thought this place would be harder to find. But, oh, the wonders of GPS. You should hear mine. I programmed it to have this, like, cute English accent, so.

Sophia, how–how did you even know that we were here?

Oh, I spotted you two lovebirds scuttling off into the park on the th of July.

Wait, you followed us?

And overheard you plotting to trick your parents into believing that Tate had gone away to lacrosse camp for the summer. But I’m looking around, and I don’t see a lacrosse stick anywhere.

[gasps] Oh, that’s right. You sent Aaron in your place, didn’t you? I’ll admit, that was a pretty slick move.

Hey, Sophia. Look, I can explain this to you. And I think you should just listen before you–

I do wonder, though, Tate, what would your parents say if they knew you weren’t there? Because I bet they’d freak, hmm? What do you think? Should we call them?

[tense music]

Sophia, wait. Please. You can’t tell our parents about this.

Of course I can. In fact, when I ran into Tate’s mom in the square earlier, I nearly did.

Whoa. What do you mean, “You nearly did”?

Yeah, well, we were chatting, and it was on the tip of my tongue. But then I changed my mind.

Oh, thank God. Sophia, thank you for not saying anything. And look, I get that you’re angry with me, but we’re still best friends, right?

Best friends?

[scoffs] Wow, okay. I think the best-friend ship set sail when you became a backstabbing bitch. No, the real reason I didn’t say anything to Tate’s mom is because she’s– drumroll, please– She’s getting married. Tonight.

[tense music]

Theresa, come on. We can’t put all the blame on Holly, all right? Number one, she’s a kid. Number two, our son did go out of his way to lie to our faces and go behind our back.

You don’t get it, Brady. I have known girls like Holly all my life. You see, they have this little hobby that they have where they– they like to manipulate the nicest-looking guy into doing whatever they want for them.

Ooh, okay. Yeah. Sounds like someone I know. – Hey. Hey. It’s my wedding day. Be nice. Okay? – Mm-kay.

And though it’s not my first wedding, obviously, it is my first proper ceremony, so– – Proper ceremony. both: Yeah. – Well, you might have a proper ceremony, but it’s not gonna be as cool as the one we had. You remember that little Vegas chapel, right? –

[chuckles] Yeah. Yeah, that was cool. – Yeah, it was. Although I don’t remember everything, every moment, because I was– I was high as a kite, if I recall.

Yeah. I may have taken advantage of the situation just a little.

Yeah. You mean, like–like if a girl would manipulate a boy into getting whatever she wants kind of thing?

Okay. All right. Point taken. I got it, Brady.

Yep.

[laughs] In hindsight, it was more of a scheme than a wedding.

Mm.

You know, to me, the, um, actual wedding was… the unofficial one. You remember that?

Yeah, um– – Upstairs, in your bedroom.

I remember that one very well, yeah.

It was like for one shining moment, the stars were all aligned, and we were actually happy.

[laughs]

[sighs] Shame that didn’t last.

[laughs sadly]

[wistful music]

– You want to officiate my wedding?

I was talking to Maggie. Xander and Sarah asked her to officiate their ceremony. And since it’s a double wedding, I thought I would take one of the ceremonies off her hands.

Now, why would you want to marry Theresa and me, when deep down you know, or think you know, that I’m making this big mistake? Unless this was some kind of a trick.

You know what? I’m looking at this list, and I have barely checked off any of these boxes. We have so much to do before this ceremony.

Well, make Alex and Theresa do it. They’re the ones that are horning in on our wedding.

You having second thoughts about sharing our big day?

Well, I mean, I know it’s too late to back out now. But if I’m being honest, and especially since we’ve been through a lot to get here, Sarah, yeah, I’d prefer the day be all about us. – Well, it’s like you said. It is too late to back out now. But as we’ve talked about, it’d be really nice if this brought your family together.

Sure. Yeah. I mean, that’s all well and good. As long as the young scion pays for his half of it. I mean, really. He should probably pick up the whole bill. Don’t you think? Considering. – Considering what, that he inherited all that money, and now he’s rolling in it?

[laughs] Are we a little bit jealous?

No, I’m not jealous. I mean, it’s like I told you. Having tons of money is– it’s no longer my goal in life. I just–I want to make a good, honest living, make my wife and my daughter proud of me. And look how lucky I am, marrying the woman of my dreams, again.

[laughs]

That’s all that matters.

I’m very lucky too. I get to marry the man of my dreams, who manages to be sexy and loving and goofy all at the same time.

Just had to throw “goofy” in there, huh?

It’s my favorite thing.

You know, I’m gonna dig into the storage and find that Lucha libre mask, and I’m gonna bring back El Erótico just to remind you how macho and suave I can be.

Mm. I mean, I think you can accomplish that without any mask at all. But maybe.

[laughs]

A double wedding? That’s the story of the century? – Well, they don’t happen every day, you know. – True. But just the idea that Lady Whistleblower would betray her readership with a story so overly sentimental as a double snoozefest–

I’m sorry, but didn’t you have one? A double wedding, I mean.

Did I? Must have repressed that memory. – Oh, you couldn’t have. Not possible. It was Xander and Gwen and you and Nancy Wesley’s ex-husband, Craig. And just as the wedding ceremony was getting going, that drag queen crashed the hell out of it and told everyone that you were marrying Craig for his money. Mm, mm. – God, that wedding was more camp than a row of tents. –

[snorts] – Thank you for bringing up that shameful and humiliating time in my life, for which I hope you don’t judge me because I’m in very serious therapy now, working / towards becoming a more honorable and substantial person and less of that shallow and manipulative dirtbag that I was.

Oh, Leo, I do not judge, especially since I’ve been that shallow, manipulative dirtbag myself, truth be told. Anyhoo, this wedding will not have the drama of that wedding– at least not the drag queen part. – Not the–well, if not the drag queen part, then what part will this wedding have, Ms. Bonnie Kiriakis, whose very expressive punim is giving her away right now? The marrying-for-the-money part?

Yeah, I just–I think I’ve said too much.

Wait, wait, wait. I’ve got it. It’s Theresa Donovan, isn’t it?

[gasps] Are you saying what I think you’re saying? That she’s only marrying that minted hunk Alex because he’s the heir to the Kiriakis fortune?

[humming strangely]

Look, I don’t know much of anything and I just–

I knew I was right about Theresa. That lying little minx! Okay, Bonnie. Spill the tea. I want the who, the what, the when, the where, and…

Okay.

Whatever the last one is.

Okay, okay, fine! Fine. There have been some concerns about Theresa’s motives for marrying Alex. But please, I beg you, you cannot put that in your column.

Ugh. Fine. Though I could really use the content. My last column was a profile on this Canadian expat, gorgeous trainer who adopted this doe-eyed Siamese little cat.

Aww.

That’s it. That was the story. I thought he was gay, possibly into me, but it turned out– – Okay, okay. I get it. You need content. But you have to understand, Alex is family, and Theresa is soon to be.

Okay, fine. Kinda like that lying little minx anyway. She reminds me of my former BFF.

Oh, you mean G–

My beautiful Gwennie, yeah. Yeah, whom I betrayed, who now hates me with a vengeance, so.

[breathes deeply] –

[clears throat] –

[inhales] – What are you doing?

Well, though I haven’t talked to my therapist, Dr. Evans, but I plan to, I read in “Stop Kvetching and Get a Life” that when you’re having terrible guilt for having ruined a friendship, you should inhale the shame…

[inhales deeply] Exhale the serenity. – Is it working? – No. – Oh.

Anyway, although I don’t blame Theresa for wanting Alex’s fortune and all that it can offer her, I would marry that beefcake if all he had was a Styrofoam cup with some loose change in it. I mean, between him and Xander, every day is like a dry run for another “Magic Mike,” right?

I think we may have done this out of order, Mr. Kiriakis.

Oh, well. I thought it was pretty perfect, to be honest. I’m just hoping that it’s not bad luck, you know, for the bride and groom to see each other before they walk down the aisle together and maybe a little bit more than see each other.

[laughs] I think you and I have had our share of bad luck. So I say no more worrying.

What? You mean like that time right before one of our other weddings, when Kristen stuffed you into a bloody trunk and shipped you off to a deserted island? – Yeah, that one– or when you were falsely imprisoned for a murder that you didn’t commit. Yeah, I think, uh, the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on. But that’s all in the past. It’s gonna be clear skies from now on. You’ll see. – A trick? You think I’m trying to trick you? –

[scoffs] I mean, didn’t you do exactly that with Konstantin and Maggie? I mean, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if, you know, mid-ceremony you burst out of your seat, and you accuse Theresa of embezzling money from Titan. – You can’t be serious. You know damn well why it went down the way it did with Konstantin and Maggie! And for you to not trust me because of that– – Oh, okay. –

[exhales] – Okay. Fine. I am–I’m sorry for making that analogy or whatever. But can you really blame me, Justin? You’ve given me a whole lot of pushback about Theresa. –

[sighs] I can assure you, Alex, I have no ulterior motives. I just thought it’d be nice. That’s all. I may not be the father of the groom, but I just want to be a part of your special day– but not if it doesn’t work for you.

[gentle music]

– Actually, it does work for me. And I am sorry for accusing you of ulterior motives. I really am.

Apology accepted. – But I am gonna have to ask Theresa first, obviously. I don’t think she’s gonna have a problem with it, but still. – Okay. – Okay? – All right. Well, I’ll go start preparing my script for the ceremony.

All right. Justin… thank you.

[laughs]

Sort of been our problem, hasn’t it?

Hmm? – We get together, and we’re– we’re good for a while, and…

[laughs] Can’t seem to make it last.

Yeah, yeah. Why do you think that is?

Hmm. I don’t know. I would say it’s probably my fault. I think I screw up a lot.

Yeah, that’s been–no, that’s– you can’t take all the blame. I was so stubborn, so stubborn. Most of the time. Almost all the time. Also pretty unforgiving.

Okay. Yeah, you’re right. We’re both at fault here.

[both laugh]

I just hope things are different with Alex, you know?

Yeah. I’m rooting for you, you know. I am, for–for both of you.

Really? You mean that? – I do. Despite everything, I just want you to be happy– truly.

I want that for you too. You know that, Brady.

Hey, at least one of us found true love, right? You deserve it. You deserve it. I mean that.

[exhales]

I have to confess something to you.

– I–I’m–I’m sorry. My mother is getting married tonight? – Yeah, she was outside the bakery going on about her wedding cake. Wait. You didn’t know.

No, I mean, I knew my mom was engaged to Alex Kiriakis. But no, I didn’t realize that the wedding was tonight.

Well, it is. And I didn’t want to spoil your mom’s special day by telling her that her darling son is a big fat liar. – Oh, well, thank you. – I’ll just tell her tomorrow instead.

[unsettling music]

Sophia, please.

Like, pretty please with sugar on top?

Seriously? Do you really wanna hurt us this badly?

Well, yeah, that’s why I ratted you out the first time. – What first time? –

[scoffs] Hello. How do you think Tate’s mom caught on to your plans to sneak off on prom night? – Oh, my God. You told her?

[scoffs] Oops. – Oh, my God, Sophia. How could you do something so spiteful? – I suppose the acute sense of betrayal I felt after you let me, your so-called best friend, make a complete fool of myself by asking Tate to the prom when, in fact, you two were secretly seeing each other the whole time. Yeah, that made telling her a whole lot easier. Do you have any idea how humiliating that was?

Sophia, look. I-I had no intention of hurting you. I thought that maybe you would just–you’d get with Aaron, and then everyone would be happy. – Really, Tate? Even though I have never, not once, expressed interest in Aaron? – Okay. You know what? You’re right. He screwed up royally, and I’ve been a terrible friend. – We’re sorry. We never should have lied to you. We just–with everything that’s happened, you know, we got so caught up in keeping this thing between us a secret that– I don’t know– we didn’t think about how it would affect other people. – Ugh, the groveling.

What are you talking about? We’re apologizing. – So I won’t snitch on you. Because as we both know, the stakes are kind of high.

No, that’s not–

[sighs] Sophia, look, I’m sorry, okay? I really am sorry. But yeah, it’s true we don’t want you to tell our parents. If you do, Tate’s probably gonna be shipped off to military school, and we’ll never see each other again. –

[inhales sharply] That sounds like a you problem. – Sophia, we have known each other for a very, very long time. If our friendship ever meant anything to you, would you just please keep our secret? I’ll do anything. – Anything? – What is it you want to confess? – Well– – What in the world is my gorgeous bride doing here? Shouldn’t you be getting ready for the wedding? – Yeah, uh– um, I was just telling Brady here that, um, despite our differences, I’m really happy that– that he’s coming to the wedding. I mean, you are Tate’s father, after all. And even if he can’t be there, I’m really glad that you can.

Hey. Um, I’ll see you two at the ceremony.

Yeah, we’ll see you.

[sighs] Mm. – I should–I should probably get to Sarah’s now. – Oh, before you do, I wanted to run something by you. – What? Did you, like, hire Ed Sheeran to perform or something? I know you’re a big-shot CEO.

Uh, no. Actually, Justin offered to officiate our wedding. I wanted to see if you had any objections.

No. Of course not. That’s fine. – Okay, good. Good. I just wanted to, you know, talk with you about it first. So it wasn’t like the prenup all over again, you know? – Oh, yeah. You learned your lesson, did you?

I did. Because I just wanna be the best husband that I possibly can be for you because I love you, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

I feel exactly the same way.

[mysterious music]

[sighs] – Can you believe our precious little girl is still asleep?

Good, she’ll be well rested for the ceremony.

What have you got there?

Just looking over our final guest list.

I see my mom never got back to us.

No. I assume that she moved, and who knows where? – Or maybe she just doesn’t give a damn.

Baby, I am so, so sorry that I pressured you to reach out to her. I didn’t–I didn’t mean to reopen old wounds.

It’s fine. I-I understand. It was worth a shot, you know, for Victoria’s sake.

Of course.

Anyway, honestly, it’s probably just as well that she’s not coming. – Look, I’m sorry for wasting your time. I didn’t realize a double wedding was, as you say, a snoozefest.

No, hold on, Bonnie. Wait, wait, wait.

[sighs] Okay, look. As vanilla as it is, four very straight, very good-looking people getting married, maybe we can find an intriguing angle here.

Intriguing angle? Like what? – Like, did anything scandalous happen at the bachelor and/or bachelorette party? Something involving drugs, strippers? – No, they skipped all that.

Huh. What about the ceremony? Any inside details?

[gasps] They’re gonna have a chocolate fountain. – Well, that’s great. Anything else? – Oh.

[gasps] Well, actually…

[sucks teeth] There might be a surprise guest. – A surprise guest, eh? – Mm. – Do tell. – Xander’s mother? – Mm-hmm. – I didn’t know he had a mother. I mean, I guess we all have mothers, though I think of mine as a spiritual black hole. – Oh. Sorry to hear that. – It’s okay. I’m learning that I’m eminently lovable despite all that. – Oh. I’m happy for you. That’s good. And yes, Xander certainly does have a mother, and she might–might– key word being “might”– be coming to the wedding. – And this is a surprise because? – Mm, she and Xander have been estranged for years. – Really? – Mm-hmm. – Why? – Probably because she had a drinking problem. – Oh, so she likes to wet her beak, eh? Go on. – Well, Sarah worked really hard to track her down, and she finally got an address for her in Paris. And she was all set to send her an invite. And then I found the invite in the trash. – Really? – Mm-hmm. – Why would she throw it away? – I think Theresa got in her head. She kept discouraging her from sending Mama Cook an invite and kept saying over and over again what a bad idea it was.

[sighs]

So then how did Mama Cook get the invite?

[tense music] –

[giggles] – Bonnie, you didn’t! – Guilty! –

[gasps] – I sent it.

[laughs] I figured Xander and Sarah would thank me later.

[chuckles] – So they don’t know? You never told them? – Honey, a surprise is not a surprise if no one’s surprised! Hello!

[giggles] – You know, there is at least one potential positive of my mom not attending. – Hmm?

At least our open bar won’t get ransacked.

You’re terrible.

Come on. The woman’s skipping her own son’s wedding. I’m allowed a few barbs.

Okay.

[rapping on door] – Hi. – Hi. –

[sighs] Well? – Well what?

You don’t have anything to say? Like, for instance, oh, I don’t know, uh, “Thank you for letting us join in on your wedding”?

Okay. Thank you for letting us be part of your wedding. We are eternally grateful. – And you are eternally beholden. Hey, I better go get ready.

Okay. I am so sorry about him.

Oh, it’s okay. And thank you, Sarah, for letting us crash your wedding.

It’s no problem. I mean, in a few hours, we’re all gonna be family.

Hmm. – So what’s the word? Have you run it by Theresa?

I have. We’d love to have you perform our ceremony. – Oh. Well, that’s great. I’m very happy, Alex.

Me too. I know how much family meant to my father, and I know this is what he’d want. – Look, I don’t mean to speak ill of the dead, but I really don’t give a damn what Victor would have wanted. – I will consider keeping your little secret, but I want something in return. – Sure. Anything. Just name it. – Well, I figure since Aaron took Tate’s place at lacrosse camp, it’s only fair that you take mine. – Wait, you’re going to camp? – Not exactly. My parents are making me get one of those pesky J-O-Bs, waiting tables at the Bistro. What do you think, Holls? I’m sure Stefan DiMera won’t mind if I give up my spot to you, though there is one small stipulation. I collect every last cent of your paycheck. – Sophia, if I work your job at the Bistro, that means that I’ll never get to see Tate. – Sure you will, as soon as you get off work. So what do you say?

– Ugh, I can’t believe I have to work all summer at the Bistro. I’m not even gonna see a single penny from it.

Holly, no. No. It’s–I don’t want you to make such a big sacrifice. It’s not fair to you. I’ll just go to camp. It’s gonna be a couple of months. – No. – Yeah. – No way. – Holly, come on. – “Come on” what, Tate? Rather be doing what we’re doing now than not see you at all. – You sure? – Yes, I’m sure. We’ll just have to make the most out of the time we do have together. – Oh. Well, in that case– – Come here. –

[chuckles]

[gentle music]

[laughter] – “Lend me your ear, dear reader, “for ’tis the summer of love here in Salem, “as two scorching-hot couples are about to tie the knot “in what promises to be the social event of the season. “But let’s hope that this wedding has a happier ending “than the last Kiriakis nuptials, “a dumpster fire in which the would-be groom “was shot and killed. “Not that anyone shed a tear, since the victim “of said shooting was responsible for the death “of the famously witty and intimidating family patriarch, Victor Kiriakis.” – That man up there was a narcissist of the highest order, a manipulative control freak. To him, everything was a means to an end. He could be cruel– – I didn’t think that you were still so angry with him. – How could I not be? He robbed me of a son! – Justin, I was never your son to begin with. – And he should have never lied to me about it. Or he shouldn’t have revealed the plot twist in his will. – I don’t think it was a plot twist. I think he was trying to make things right. – Make things right? It was too late for that. – I know it hurt you. I-I do. I get it, and I’m sorry. But I don’t think you should be standing here in my father’s house and dragging his name through the mud when he’s not here to defend himself. – What he did was indefensible. And I for one don’t know how you can stand there waxing sentimental about it!

Because he was my father!

So was I, damn it!

[tense music]

–

[sighs] Don’t think about it. You and Theresa? Come on. You were never good for one another. You were never good. You were…

[mysterious music]

[breathing heavily] How are you gonna get through this wedding? How you gonna…

[ominous music]

Come on.

[bottle clinking]

[sighs] Aha.

[sniffs]

[groans] – Hi. I hope I’m not late. – No, come in. Come in. Come in. We’re just getting started. – Oh, good. Well, I be here bearing gifts. I have everything from hairpins to Spandex to ibuprofen. I got you girls covered. – You are an angel. Um, and the bouquets? – Oh, damn. I’m–

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We will just– we’ll grab them on the way. –

[exhales] Okay. – It’s totally fine, all right? I now need a very hot shower. – Um, Sarah, before you go, there’s something I need to tell you. It’s–it’s about Xander’s mom.

What about her? – Well, I know you threw her invitation in the trash– – Wait, wait, wait. – And– – What are you talking about? I-I didn’t throw any invitation in the trash.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Granddad and the kids are watching a movie.

Finn: He and donna are okay with kelly and hayes sleeping over?

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Grandad suggested it, and he really is just a big kid himself.

Finn: [Chuckles]

Steffy: [Exhales]

Finn: A glass of wine?

Steffy: How about the whole bottle? It’s been that kind of day.

Finn: You okay?

Steffy: Just letting everything just sink in.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: We need to find out about tom and hollis, that they died both from an overdose, the same drug. And then chief baker takes sheila in for questioning? You urged him to do that.

Finn: If you asked me what I thought, I told him the truth.

Steffy: Sheila was really surprised. She thought that you were going to defend her.

Finn: The way I have in the past? It’s okay. You can say it. I’ve made a lot of allowances for my birth mother’s actions.

Steffy: But no more. You stood up for me. And our family.

Brooke: So sheila is at the police station being questioned.

Ridge: If baker’s smart, he’s gonna hold onto sheila until she tells him the truth.

Hope: Well, I’m still trying to figure out why sheila would want either of them dead.

Brooke: Maybe they had something on her. Maybe they knew something sheila didn’t want getting out.

Hope: Okay, well, like what?

Ridge: I don’t– it’s sheila. It could be anything. She’s always keeping somebody else’s secret, protecting somebody, right?

Hope: Uh, when you talked to steffy, did she mention anything about my dad?

Ridge: What? No. I’ll mention something about your dad. May I? He should get on the phone, find the best divorce lawyer in the country, and get rid of that mess he’s in. What’s he thinking? Why would he marry that woman? Did she dupe him the same way she duped finn? Probably. But you know what? At least finn was smart enough to walk away from it, because according to steffy, he was defending his wife and his kids in front of this crazy birth mother. So not all is lost. It’s a step in the right direction.

[Theme music playing]

Brooke: So, did they find more evidence that points to sheila?

Ridge: Not yet. But the toxicology report is damning. And tom and hollis, they died of the same drug, same dose. And who do you think could administer something like that? Psycho nurse. So I’m glad baker’s holding onto her. And I’m also glad that finn has seen the light.

Hope: What do you mean?

Ridge: You know what I mean. He’s always tied to sheila in some way, but I think he’s figured it out because maybe he saw that it’s affecting his marriage, so he’s stepping away from it. And maybe now he can be the husband and the father that steffy needs him to be.

Finn: I feel like a fool defending sheila so often in the past.

Steffy: There was a lot of conflicting emotions, and finn, I– I know you. I care about people.

Finn: But that’s no excuse. Too many times I’ve left you feeling unheard. Your concerns were very real. I’m sorry.

Steffy: Hey, hey, it’s okay. That’s behind us now. I mean, you were there for me when it mattered today. You were there for kelly and hayes and, like I said, you stood up for us. And I love you so much for it. Always dry scoop before you run.

Ridge: Steffy loves finn. Some of the choices he’s made.

Brooke: Where sheila’s concerned.

Ridge: Yeah, where sheila’s concerned. He always gives her the benefit of the doubt. He should have pushed her away a long time ago.

Hope: Well, he would have if she wasn’t his birth mother.

Ridge: Li is his mother. She’s the one that raised him when he was a kid. Am I wrong?

Brooke: Thank god. If sheila didn’t give him up, she would have raised him. Can you imagine the life he would have had?

Ridge: What’s the difference? He still let her into his life after he knew who she was. He should have pushed her away, told her to go away, and maybe he wouldn’t have this problem. Maybe she would’ve gotten the message. Or maybe not. It’s sheila. I don’t know.

Brooke: Yeah, you know sheila. When lines are drawn, she manages to step right over them or erase them completely, especially when finn is involved.

Ridge: Well, that’s it. Steffy can see what sheila’s doing, and she wants finn to see it, as well.

Brooke: But he couldn’t cut sheila out of his life. Not completely.

Ridge: But that’s it. This is the problem. Steffy thinks that he can’t be the husband and the father that she needs.

Hope: Steffy shouldn’t have to question his commitment and love to their family. I mean, it’s– it’s pretty obvious. Steffy is lucky to be married to a man like finn. She’s very lucky.

Steffy: Sheila’s always been her own worst enemy. Like nothing is ever enough. She’s never satisfied with what she has.

Finn: You mean her, like, her life with deacon?

Steffy: That I will never understand. Like, how could he love a woman like that? And honestly, after everything that’s happened, I really thought that maybe, just maybe, sheila could change and be, like, a better wife. But no. Now she’s implicated in this very suspicious death, and– at her husband’s restaurant. Like, this is gonna be really bad business for him.

Finn: Oh. Yeah and he might have to lock his doors up soon. He’s gonna lose everything he worked for.

Steffy: All because she killed two men that ticked her off for some reason.

Finn: Well, and I’ve been trying to figure out, like, what that reason would be. Why would she go after tom and hollis?

Steffy: Finn, you’re not–

Finn: No.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: No, I meant every word I said to baker earlier. Yes, I believe in second chances, but everywhere that sheila goes, bad things happen, and it would be irresponsible to just take her word when she says that she had nothing to do with tom and hollis’ deaths.

Steffy: In all likelihood, she did it. But you know, she’s not gonna cop to it.

Finn: Hey, it’s up to the cops now. But whatever they find out, just never forget that you and the kids will always be my priority.

[Cellphone chimes]

Ridge: Oh, no, I forgot. I have a meeting with the mayor. I gotta go. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Oh, no, that’s okay. Yeah. Of course.

Ridge: Bye.

Brooke: Oh… oh, my gosh. With all this drama swirling around about sheila, of course we’re gonna forget things like that.

Hope: I’m just– my mind’s on dad. I hope he’s okay. But do you think I should go and check on him or–?

Brooke: No, no, just let things settle down a bit. Besides, he’s probably at the police station cheerleading for sheila. But now I can have a moment alone with you.

Hope: Oh, did you want to talk about something?

Brooke: Well, I just wanna see how you’re doing.

Hope: Ah, you mean now that paris has left with thomas and douglas?

Brooke: I know how you miss douglas when he’s not around.

Hope: I do. Terribly. And I will always be his mother. But, mom, you should know that thomas made it a point to say to me that he wants to prioritize our relationship, that he’s not trying to keep my son from me, so…

Brooke: Okay.

Hope: You’ll also be happy to know I– I have come to terms with their engagement.

Brooke: You have?

Hope: Yes. I gave thomas my blessing, and I wished him the best.

Brooke: Oh…

Hope: So, I mean, it’s not… easy to accept the fact that he has moved on with paris, but, um… I don’t– I don’t know. Maybe he’s right. Maybe we were never meant to be.

Hope: Wait, wait. What do you mean, who’s right? Thomas?

Hope: No. Finn.

Hope: Finn believes that I can do better than thomas, and I know you felt the same way.

Brooke: Okay, well, now I’m not concerned about thomas. I’m concerned about your feelings for finn.

Hope: Mom, relax. We’re just– we’re good friends.

Brooke: Honey, things can happen, things that you never intend to. A perfectly innocent moment could suddenly ignite. I want you to be careful around him. I really do. He’s happily married, honey.

Hope: Well, I mean, according to steffy.

Brooke: According to finn, he loves steffy.

Hope: [Sighs] I know, I know.

Brooke: I just don’t want you to do something that you’re going to regret.

Hope: Mom, I– I can handle it. Besides, I am well aware that finn is devoted to steffy. She would never let me forget that fact.

Brooke: Okay, well, don’t forget they have a family, too.

Hope: I am also aware of that, but so… is finn not allowed to have friends?

Brooke: Yes, of course.

Hope: So we’re good friends. And it’s through that friendship that I have come to realize that I am deserving of a man who is intelligent, loyal, capable. A man just for me.

Brooke: Yes, and that man won’t be finn.

Hope: No, I mean, if finn happened to have an identical twin brother who was available, I mean, I wouldn’t complain. But, uh, since that is not a possibility and finn is married to steffy…

Brooke: Somebody that you’ve been at odds with lately.

Hope: Who I will probably always be at odds with. I just don’t want that to affect my relationship with finn.

Steffy: As much as I miss the kids, it’s really nice to have a night to ourselves.

Finn: Yeah, especially after the day we’ve had.

Steffy: [Groans] But you did the right thing. Telling chief baker what you did. And, yeah, even though sheila is your birth mother, this is a woman who shot you. And I think about all the things she’s done to us. I mean, even your real mother, she drove her off the road. And now tom and hollis.

Finn: Hey, honey, we have better things to do than talk about this. Especially when I’m lying here with the sexiest wife in the world. I have an idea.

Steffy: Go on.

Finn: No more talk. Let’s get you out of these clothes. Honestly, I was scared when I was told age

Brooke: Sweetheart, we’ve had a lot of conversations about finn. You’ve admitted to me that you’re attracted to him.

Hope: Well, would you rather I had lied and just told you what you wanted to hear?

Brooke: I’m glad that you were honest with me. I just want you to be honest with yourself. Finn is off limits.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. I realize that.

Brooke: He is married to a woman that you’ve had a history with, especially dealing with men.

Hope: Well, what can I say? We have similar tastes.

Brooke: Okay, well, you’ve been on a collision course before in the past, and now it’s with finn. Just want to make sure that you don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made. I know you said that you don’t want to.

Hope: I’m sorry if I offended you with that.

Brooke: No, no, I totally understand. I don’t want you to, either, sweetie. I just know you’re in a very vulnerable place right now. First thomas, now finn. I wanna make sure you can handle things.

Hope: Mom, finn is important to me as a friend. He listens. He’s sensitive to what I’m going through. He has been incredibly supportive of me during this difficult time, and I value that. And I’ve come to admire him as a man. In many ways. +

Finn: I don’t know about you, but… I think we needed that.

Steffy: [Chuckles] Yeah, we definitely did. Never got enough alone time. Especially with our… two rambunctious kids. It’s not just the kids, though. I mean… it’s my crazy schedule at the hospital. And, like, I know it’s probably not easy being the wife of a doctor. Not that you’d ever complain. Hey, promise me something. Never doubt or question the love I have for you.

Steffy: I don’T. And after today, the way you stood up for me, our family– that means the world to me.

Finn: I love you.

Finn: Well, I know you’re pulling for me.

Hope: Yeah, I just want what’s best for you.

Finn: Well, I appreciate it.

Hope: I’m just glad that you’re comfortable sharing all this with me. Thank you. And… I don’t know, just continue to prove that you’re such an incredible man. So, thanks.

Brooke: But things can happen, honey. Things that you never intended to. A perfectly innocent moment could… suddenly ignite. Just be careful. Very careful where finn’s concerned.

Hope: [Sighs]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[gentle music]

[phone ringing]

Hey, Johnny.

Hey. How’s it going?

Oh, so busy, I can barely breathe. But other than that–

You’re not pushing yourself too hard, are you?

I’m fine. And since Dr. Greene says that there is no reason why I can’t get back to work, I want to reopen Sweet Bits ASAP.

OK. Are you sure you don’t just want me to come down there and help? I mean, while you’re short-staffed and I’m unemployed?

No, thank you. I think you’d just be more of a distraction than anything.

Eh, I’m sure you could find something for me to do. I’m a man of many talents, as you well know.

That’s true. But unless those talents include piping frosting on cupcakes or making a Hogwarts cake out of fondant, then I think you should just let me do my thing.

Hiya.

Oh. Love you. Gotta go.

Hi. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt your call.

No, no, no. It’s fine. Uh, what can I do for you?

I’m really hoping you can help me, and it’s kind of an emergency.

[birds cawing]

[knocks]

Hi.

[exhales] I didn’t hear you.

[laughs]

Yeah. Yeah, I can’t imagine why.

[chuckles] I brought you a present, though.

What is this?

Figured you might be missing your Buddy’s fix out here on Smith Island.

Aw. Yeah, sure, I missed my Buddy’s, but I missed you a lot more.

–

[chuckles]

Hey, Alex. Is Maggie here?

No. She ran out to do some errands for the wedding. But I’ll let her know you stopped by.

OK. Yeah. I wanted to– I wanted to check on her. I know she’s busy with Xander and Sarah’s big day and everything, but with everything that went down with Konstantin, and the whole idea of a wedding, I thought that might be traumatic for her.

No, for sure. Well, hopefully after tonight, we can make some better memories for her and for all of us.

We?

[soft dramatic music] – I guess you didn’t hear. It’s gonna be a double wedding. Theresa and I are getting married tonight too.

–

[sighs] – It’s a little early for a drink, don’t you think?

It’s : somewhere.

Hmm. What’s that?

Ah. That is a petition from Nicole’s attorney, suing me for divorce.

– Look who’s here. It’s your mommy. – Yes. Hi, little man. Were you a good boy for your daddy? Huh? – Sure was. He went right down. He slept through the night, unlike his daddy. – Oh. You kept checking on him?

Yeah, to make sure I wasn’t dreaming that he was still here. – Oh.

You know? Thank you. Thank you for letting him stay here.

Of course. He’s your son. Oh, my little angel. I know it was only one night, but Mommy missed you like crazy.

[laughter] Aw.

[gentle music]

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

– How are you doing? – I stayed at the Salem Inn last night… after I left EJ.

[chuckles] And now I’ve just got to find a place big enough for me and my daughter and Jude– you know, when he’s not with you.

[laughs] How’s Holly taking it? I mean, me being Jude’s dad?

Well, I mean, Eric, she adores you. She’s really happy for you. But she’s been grounded a lot lately. So she’s miserable, obviously.

Yeah, she told me.

She did?

Yeah, I ran into her. And let’s just say she needed to vent a little.

Well, thank you for letting her vent. I’m sure it was mostly about me.

No, no, it wasn’t. I mean, she’s a smart kid. Loves you very much, Nicole. You know that.

Yeah, I do. I love her too, with all my heart. And I let her stay at a friend’s last night because I needed some time alone to think things through.

Yeah. What are you gonna do?

Well, I, uh– I called my lawyer, and I had him serve EJ divorce papers.

[dramatic music] Because he and I, we’re– We’re done.

Look, Dad, you– you can’t be that surprised that Nicole wanted a divorce, right? I mean, once she– you know, once she took Jude and Holly and moved out, it seemed kind of inevitable. Don’t you think?

Mm.

[sighs]

[clears throat] It did, yes. And, Johnny, I assume you’re quite upset with me.

[soft dramatic music]

Well, I feel horrible for Nicole, obviously, and for Eric. And beyond that, I mean, I thought that I had a little brother. I told everyone that I know how happy I was that you got your son back and that we’d be raising our babies together.

I’m sorry I let you believe that.

Yeah. Yeah, me too. Anyway, now none of it’s gonna happen, so…

[sighs]

An emergency?

Yes. So I know that you just reopened, and I know this is really last minute, but, um, I desperately need a wedding cake.

Oh, OK. When’s the wedding?

Today.

Today?

Mm-hmm. Yeah. OK. See, so Alex and I, we got engaged, and we were planning on having a wedding in a couple of months, but then we agreed on having this double wedding with Xander and Sarah.

Oh, OK. Um, well, why don’t you just share the wedding cake that I made for them? It’s definitely big enough.

Oh, it is. And it’s gorgeous. It’s just, uh, there’s just this little tiny problem. It’s a spice cake.

And you hate spice.

Uh-huh. Yeah. I’m sorry.

No, no, no, no, no, no. I get it. I’m not a fan either.

No, you know? I just don’t want to gag, you know, when I have that first slice that Alex feeds me. So I’m really hoping that we can just have our own cake.

OK, um, well, what are you thinking? How big would you want it? What flavor? What kind of icing? – Honestly, as long as it’s not spice cake, I’m good with anything. –

[laughs] All right. Um, let me see what I can do. – Oh! – Hopefully they’re not too cold. I don’t think there’s a microwave here. – Oh, these are great, even cold. Mm. –

[laughs] – You know, I never thought that I would see the inside of the mythical Horton cabin. It’s beautiful. It’s peaceful.

Mm. Boring. – No, not with you around. I’m telling you, it’s the perfect summer hideout. There’s the lake. There’s hiking. The ferry makes it easy to get back and forth to Salem. – Mm-hmm. I’m just glad it was available.

Yeah, no kidding.

Oh, have you heard anything from Aaron yet?

Uh, just that he ran six miles today at lacrosse camp.

Wow. You’re gonna be in great shape when you get back.

Oh, most definitely.

[chuckles]

[laughs] By the way, thank you so much for saving me from what would have been the worst summer of my life.

Of course. I mean, it wouldn’t have been that great for me either. I just hope our parents never find out we’re here at the Horton cabin.

How would they? As long as we’re careful, they’ll never know.

[tender music]

– You and Theresa are getting married tonight?

Yeah.

When– when did that happen?

Well, we just decided.

[laughs] You look shocked.

Uh, no, no. I’m not shocked, Alex. I’m just, uh– that was fast.

Yeah, well, you said the same thing when we got engaged.

I did. Um, that’s because that was only a few days ago.

Well, look. This was Bonnie’s idea to do the double wedding, and Theresa said there was really no reason for us to wait.

So did– I mean, did Theresa push for this?

No, she didn’t– she didn’t push. She just said that it was a good idea, and I agreed with her, and– I mean, Xander and Sarah have done all the work. The guest list is already overlapping, so it kind of made sense.

I thought you hated Xander’s guts.

We’ve definitely had our differences, yeah, but Maggie is hoping that this big family event might bring us all together and help eliminate some of the baggage.

That’s a lot of baggage.

Speaking of, Brady, I know you and I have gone through it the past few months. So if you are uncomfortable being there today to support Theresa and I, I’m sure Xander and Sarah will understand if you rescind your RSVP.

[soft dramatic music]

Actually, yeah, I don’t want to– I don’t want to– I don’t want to crash your big wedding, man. I don’t want to ruin your day. So please give Xander and Sarah my deepest regrets.

[exhales]

Brady, don’t get me wrong, man. I’m not hinting at the idea that I don’t want you to come to our wedding. I just want to give you the option of just bowing out if you’re uncomfortable.

[sighs] Alex, actually, you know, I am a little bit, truthfully. Partly because I should have– I should have never had the idea that Theresa was, you know, just gonna marry you for the money, and I– look, the two of you can’t be happy that I even said something like that.

It’s fine. Honestly, I’m done being upset over it, and I’d be lying to you if I told you that thought never crossed my mind.

And the fact– look, the fact that she’s willing to sign this prenup… – Yeah.

That pretty much proves me wrong. – Yeah. – Look, man, you– you’re a smart, successful, decent-looking guy. – Ah!

[laughs] – There’s a lot of reasons why Theresa would want to marry you. – Well, thank you for the ego boost, my man.

Hey. – And hey, if you accept the fact that Theresa is not marrying me for my money, and really just because of how amazing and awesome I am… – Alex. –

[laughs] Why wouldn’t you want to be there to watch us tie the knot together, man? Unless there’s another reason why you’d be uncomfortable coming to our wedding.

[tense music]

– OK, so chocolate cake, raspberry filling, and a monogram design. – Oh, that is perfect. Thank you so much, Chanel. – Yeah, uh, let me go check and see if I have everything to make that happen. I’ll be right back. – Oh, Ms. Donovan. – Oh. Hi, Sophia. – Hi. Um, I was wondering if I could talk to you about Holly and Tate.

– Hey, sorry I couldn’t make it last night. By the time I felt I could leave my mom, I’d missed the last ferry.

I just still can’t believe that EJ pretended that my Uncle Eric’s kid was his.

I know. I feel so bad for Eric and my mom.

Hey, how are you doing in all this?

You know, after all the lies EJ said, I– I’m totally in my mom’s corner. I know she and I haven’t really been getting along lately, but this was just so wrong.

Yeah. Kind of blew up your whole family.

Yeah. But it’s not– it’s not really about that, at least not for me. I mean, the only time I ever felt like I had a real family was when Eric was my stepdad, so…

Do you think that there is a chance? – That Eric and my mom might get back together? – Sure. – Who knows? I’m just glad to be away from all that drama, even if it’s for a little while. And is it horrible to say that the timing kind of works out perfect for us? I mean, I can’t be grounded if I don’t have a home, right?

Yeah, and your mom’s not worried about you seeing me because I’m away at lacrosse camp.

Exactly. But enough talking about that. Now that we’re finally alone, what should we do?

[soft dramatic music]

Johnny, I am so sorry you were hurt.

Oh, you mean you’re sorry that you hurt me. I think that would be the appropriate thing to say.

[sighs] I am sorry that I hurt you– and a lot of other people, too.

[scoffs] It’s just– look, I’ve done some crazy things, OK, to hang on to a relationship, Dad, but Uncle Eric is, like, the nicest guy on the planet. How could you let him hand you his child?

I am not going to relitigate this with you, son, nor am I going to try and justify my actions to you.

Yeah, well, good because you can’t. And I know you know that.

I do.

– You know, I remember when I was a little kid, and I’d do something wrong, and you’d look at me, and you’d tell me how disappointed you were in me. Well, now I know how you felt.

Divorce, that’s– that’s a big step. Nicole, you don’t think you need more time to think it through? – Well, how much time did you take to end your marriage with Sloan?

None.

Yeah.

But–

Because what EJ did to me, and to you, and to our son is just as bad as what she did. I mean, he’s lived in your home, and then he was in our home. And who knows where he’s gonna end up next? I mean, Eric, we’re gonna have to figure out a custody arrangement. I mean, unless– – Unless?

[gentle music] – Are you still planning to move to Paris?

– My dad asked me the same question. I said I didn’t know. I– that I needed to talk to you about that.

– Alex, I just– look, I just think it’ll be awkward for Theresa if I’m at your wedding. – Why?

[chuckles] You told me that our being together was good for you, that your relationship with Theresa was toxic– unless you didn’t mean that.

No, no, I– no, I meant that. – OK. – We– we– Theresa and I, we haven’t always brought out the best in each other.

Yeah. – But she– look, she has moved on, and I have as well. – Yeah. –

[sniffs] – We can just celebrate this connection that you and I have, and we can just have this great old lovely time together. – Lovely time together. Yeah, you are– you are really aiming high on this one. You know that? – Why not? I know you’re not seeing anyone. So I bet you are really lonely, and I bet you would like to have some companionship. – You know what? – Hmm?

Alex, I’m gonna– I’m gonna– I’m gonna do a total on this. We’re family. We’re family. And if you don’t have a problem with me being there, yeah, man, I’d love to be at your wedding. – Done. Done. It’s settled. Good. I’ll see you there.

Great, man. Great.

So I–

OK, Sophia. Before you say anything, I just– I want to apologize for the way my son treated you. I know that must have been so hard for you to tell me that Tate was seeing Holly behind my back, but I am so glad that you did.

I’m cool with Tate. Actually, I– I blame Holly. She was supposed to be my BFF. And she knew I liked Tate, but she didn’t bother to tell me she was in a relationship with him. – Mm-mm. God, I just– I cannot stand that girl.

[sighs] But look, if it’s any consolation, they are gonna be really far away from each other this summer because we’ve just sent Tate to lacrosse camp in New York.

[dramatic music]

[fireworks exploding]

– So is everything a go? – My mom is totally on board with me going away to lacrosse camp. And since Aaron agreed to take my spot–

That means we’ll be able to spend the whole summer together.

And no one will ever know.

[fireworks exploding]

– Ms. Donovan, there’s something you should know.

– You know, there’s not a lot to do here. Um, I found some board games over there.

Oh, which ones?

Uh… the Game of Life.

Oh, my God, my Grandma Maggie and I used to play this all the time. I always won.

Maybe because she let you? – Uh, no. My Grandpa Victor used to call her cutthroat. – OK. Sure.

I swear. And she is. But so am I, actually. I take after her.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah. So do you want to play or what?

[soft dramatic music]

– Look, Dad, I don’t mean to kick you while you’re down here, OK? I understand that it sucks that you lost Nicole, that you lost Jude, and you lost the CEO position to Aunt Kristen. I know that. – I may lose my DA job as well, if I’m charged as an accessory after the fact. – Well, I hope that doesn’t happen.

[tender music]

– Thank you for saying that. – Look, Dad, I am mad at you right now.

But that doesn’t mean that I’m not always gonna have your back, the same way you’ve always had mine. You’re my dad.

– And you’re my loyal son.

I’m sorry I wasn’t as supportive of Chanel’s pregnancy as you needed me to be. – Yeah. You came around eventually. – Speaking of, are you and Chanel still thinking of getting a place of your own?

– Uh, we haven’t really talked about it, honestly.

Well, I– I would understand if you wanted to put some distance between us, but I just wanted you both to know that you’re more than welcome to stay here for as long as you wish. In fact, it would mean a great deal to me if you did.

– Well, uh, obviously it’d be a lot easier to share custody of Jude if you were– were here in Salem, but after everything you’ve been through, Eric, I don’t want you to give up anything because of me. – I was leaving because it was too painful for me to be around Jude, but now that I know he’s mine– –

[chuckles]

[tender music] You could stay. And I’m sure Chad and Xander would love to have you back at “the Spectator.” I know I would. And I know it’s not Paris, but– – I just wanted a fresh start.

There’s no reason why I can’t have that with Jude…

And with you.

– What about Tate and Holly? – Well, the other day, I was at the park, and I– – Oh, I’m so sorry, Sophia. Just give me a second. Hi. So can you do it?

Uh, so I can do the cake and the frosting, but the filling has got to be chocolate mousse.

That is totally fine. Thank you so much.

Yeah, yeah, of course. And I promise you that your wedding cake will be made with love. – You’re an angel. You know that? You are.

You’re getting married?

Yeah, I am. Today, actually.

Congrats.

Thank you. So I’m sorry for the interruption. What– what did you want to tell me? – It’s your big day, so it can wait. Um, it’s– it’s not important. – No, no, no, no. If this is about Tate and Holly, I–

It’s really nothing. Enjoy your wedding.

[bright acoustic music]

Seven, eight, nine. Are you serious? – Told you, you should’ve got the insurance.

K? That’s crazy. I don’t have that kind of money. I have triplets, and I just lost my job. You– you have that kind of money. Why don’t you just– why don’t you just give me some money?

No, no. That’s not how the Game of Life works. So how about you call it quits and say I’m the winner? – No. OK, fine, yes. You win. OK. Do you, uh– do you want to play something else? – How about trivia?

[bright music] – Oh. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Do you, uh– are you always this competitive? – Yeah, only when I want to win. I told you I take after my Grandma Maggie.

[chuckles] OK.

Ready? – Yeah. All right. Three, two, one, go. Uh, OK. Um, like…

– OK. That’s for me, and, uh, for you. – Was that even movie trivia? I mean, there wasn’t a single name from this century. Danny Kaye, Gary Cooper, Macdonald Carey? – At least you got Dick Van Dyke. – How do you even know all these old movies anyway?

Oh, I used to watch a ton of them when I had a thing for this guy who’s this big movie buff.

[chuckles] – You mean Johnny DiMera?

[soft dramatic music] – Chanel and I are not gonna live here forever. We’ll stay a little while longer. I know you’ve lost a lot, Dad. You know, I know. But you’re not gonna lose me– not ever.

[tender music]

– That means the world to me, son.

– Well, um, I should get going. I, uh– Chanel told me to stay away from the bakery because she’s so busy, but I’m gonna go see if I can take her to lunch. –

[chuckles] You’re a good husband, Johnny. That is something that you definitely did not learn from me. – Eh, I don’t know. Maybe you just haven’t found the right person yet. You and Nicole just weren’t meant to be. Obviously.

I think you should sign those divorce papers and move on. –

[sighs] I’ll take that under advisement.

You’re gonna be OK, Dad. I’m sure of it. –

[sighs]

[somber music]

– So you’re really staying here in Salem?

Jude’s been moved around too much already.

Are you sure?

I’m positive, Nicole. If we’d found out that he was mine when you were first pregnant– – Things would have been a lot different. – Yeah. And if I’m being honest, I– I wanted to put some distance between us, because– – Because whenever we’re together, we can never seem to get it right.

[sighs] You know… when EJ and I committed to each other, I– I think he knew that I never really got over you.

And maybe that’s why he went to such extremes to hold on to our marriage.

– Did you know that, too?

In my heart of hearts, I did.

[exhales]

Hey, you. I saw you lurking over there.

Yeah. I was about to come in and see if I could take my wife out to a late lunch. – Mm, I wish you could, but I am so swamped. – Oh, come on. You still got to eat. – Yes, I know. And I have been eating very well all day, I promise. But it is really sweet of you to check up on me.

Am I smothering you?

[chuckles] A little bit, but I like it.

OK.

[bright acoustic music] – Tate, I didn’t mean to bring up Johnny. Actually, I tried not to, but you guessed him anyways.

Well, yeah. I mean, when you said movie buff– hey, it’s not like I didn’t know that you had a thing for him. He’s all you talked about when we first met. – Yeah, I know. I remember. And he was super into Chanel. So it was just a dumb crush, a stupid fantasy. – So what am I? – You are very real, and I’m so lucky I have you now.

[dramatic music]

– It’ll mean a lot to Theresa to have you there tonight.

[sighs] I’m not so sure about that. – Not so sure about what? – Hey. I was just telling Brady how happy you’ll be to know that he’s coming to our wedding. – Why would you not be sure about that? Of course, I want you there. – Is that the dress?

It is. – Oh, my God. I cannot wait to see you in it.

[laughter] Look, I know we’ve had a whole lot of ups and downs, but I truly am hoping that after this wedding, we can all come together as family. – Me too.

[soft dramatic music]

– I’ve– I’ve never admitted this out loud to anyone. So here it goes.

If I had known Jude was ours back then… And you would have taken me back… I would have left EJ.

[gentle music]

– From the moment that I found out you were pregnant, I wished, I– I prayed that baby was mine.

And I did want the same thing that you did.

[knocking] –

[exhales]

[tense music]

– So…

[sighs] I’ve ordered the wedding cake. It’s all ready. And now I just need to get ready.

Good. We probably both should.

[phone ringing] Oh. Oh, I have to take this. Um, OK. I’m gonna take off, but I will see you at the altar. – Mm-hmm. – Mm. Mm.

[phone beeps] – I didn’t know that you were getting married today.

[soft dramatic music] – Yeah, I didn’t know that either… till the other night.

[clears throat] I know that– that you’re on Xander and Sarah’s guest list. So I really– I should have just told you, given you a heads up.

I– I told you before, I’m– I’m happy for the two of you.

Great. So there’s no problem then.

And again, I’m– I’m really sorry that I brought up the whole money thing to Alex. – It’s OK. You’ve already apologized. I get it. And you know my history. –

[laughs] I do, but I also know that you– You have a huge heart. Alex is a really lucky guy.

[sighs] I’m really sorry things didn’t work out between us, Brady. I am. You are always gonna be so, so very special to me. I mean, you’re Tate’s dad. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Tate. – What?

[gasps]

What?

Oh, my God.

Theresa.

Um– oh! When Alex and I got engaged, I just assumed that Tate would come home from camp for the big day, but when we agreed to this double wedding, I– I didn’t even think about the fact that Tate wasn’t gonna be in town. I can’t– I can’t get married without my son. Brady, I need– I need Tate. I need my son there at my wedding.

[dramatic music]

[knocking] –

[whispers] Oh, my God.

Who– who is that? – I don’t know. Just be quiet, and maybe they’ll go away. – Tate? Holly? I know you’re both in there.

And you two are so busted.

– Johnny. – Mm-hmm? – You know the bakery is my dream, but I want you to follow your dreams too. We could still move to LA. – No. No, not a chance, Chanel. I’m not even thinking about that right now, OK? And my dad just asked me if we’re still looking for a place of our own here, which we’re gonna do, OK? – OK, sure. You know, just as soon as I get the bakery back up and running full speed. – I mean, not that he probably minds having us in the house for a little while, anyway. I think he’s, uh– he’s a little lonely.

Mm. Yeah, I’m sure he is. Any chance he and Nicole can get past this? –

[exhales] No. No, I don’t– She’s already served him with divorce papers. I, uh–

[clears throat] I told him he should just sign them, move on. I don’t know. I just– I guess I just hope he takes my advice. – Mm. Yeah, I thought I’d find you here. – What are you doing here, EJ? – I brought the divorce papers. – You didn’t sign them. – No, I– I did not, nor do I plan to.

[dramatic music]

If you two think I’m going to just roll over and let you take that child and go wandering off into the sunset together, well, I’m afraid you are sadly mistaken.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Tom and hollis died from overdosing on the same drug at the same location.

Li: Yes. And comparing to tom’s report, the exact same level of toxicity. Steffy: Oh, my god.

Li: That’s not a coincidence. Steffy: No. Sheila murdered them. I mean, she was a nurse, a medical professional. She knows all about dosing. Finn, she needs to be stopped before she hurts someone else.

Li: Stephy’s right, finn. This only further implicates sheila.

Sheila: Look at me. Deacon. I know that you hurt over what happened to tom and–and hollis, but–

Deacon: I’m not hurt. I’m freaking out. They are my friends–

Sheila: Look, it was a tragedy. It was a tragedy what happened to the two of them. But I don’t want you to let your mind run wild with thoughts of murder.

Baker: Did somebody say murder?

Deacon: Chief baker.

Baker: In the flesh. I have questions about the two recent deaths in your establishment.

Hope: So no word from steffy?

Ridge: Nope.

Brooke: She has to be at the hospital by now. I’m hoping she’ll have some answers soon.

Hope: Gosh, it just feels like yesterday I was at dad and sheila’s wedding. Tom was officiating. Hollis was making sure everything was perfect about the day, and… I don’t know. I just don’t understand how they’re gone.

Ridge: What don’t you understand? It’s sheila. I don’t know how or why, but she killed those men.

Ridge: I don’t know why sheila does what she does. She’s a psychopath. There’s never a reason for what she’S… what she’s doing. Two people are dead at el giardino’s because of her.

Carter: Sounds like you’ve heard the latest.

Brooke: Hollis. It’s a tragedy.

Carter: Yeah. My contact at the police department reached out. I have information about what killed them. It was an overdose.

Baker: Shouldn’t leave your door open like that. Been a lot of death around here recently.

Deacon: We’re feeling the loss.

Baker: That’s why I’m here. Two of your employees have died in your restaurant, deacon. We need to investigate that.

Deacon: I understand. And they weren’t just employees. They were my friends.

Baker: I need to find out exactly what happened with both men.

Li: We all know this is sheila’s doing. I was just on my way to confront her at il giardino.

Steffy: I was planning to do the same.

Finn: If sheila killed these men and is back to her old ways, is having an altercation with her wise?

Steffy: Since when has standing by waiting for her to attack helped us?

Li: It hasn’T. It left you both shot, nearly dying in an alley.

Steffy: Never again. I’m confronting sheila, and you both are coming with me. She is too arrogant and hot-headed right now. She’s not gonna be able to hide this. We can… we can put enough pressure on her, and she’ll slip. She always does. I’m not gonna rest until that woman is rotting in prison for the rest of her godforsaken life. Dangerous ladders. Gutter muck.

Ridge: So let me get this straight. Two people died, not only in the same place, but overdosing on the same drug?

Carter: According to the toxicology report, yes.

Hope: But we’ve established that hollis cared about his health. He cared about his fitness. And now you’re telling us that he died of a drug overdose at work?

Brooke: You think they were doing drugs together?

Carter: I can’t tell you that. I only know what the report says. How’s deacon?

Hope: He’s not doing well. Tom and hollis were his friends. When he first took over il giardino, hollis was the one who helped him put his vision together. And tom, well, he obviously was an important part of my dad’s life.

Ridge: Because he saved sheila’s life. That’s kind of ironic.

Brooke: That could be a tragic coincidence.

Ridge: It’s never a coincidence when she’s involved. You know that.

Carter: When I heard the news, my mind went there too.

Ridge: Yeah, exactly. So there it is, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. And there it is. Sheila’s other shoe dropped. Two people dead on the victim list.

Hope: Oh, but… why them, though? It doesn’t-

Ridge: Why not them? What…? This is sheila. She tried to kill my daughter to get closer to finn and hayes. That’s what she does. She’s psychotic. Sheila carter.

Baker: All right, deacon. Walk me through the moments before mr. Starr died.

Deacon: Okay. Um, you know, he was up on stage. He was performing. He–it was amazing. You know, tom actually was a pretty big musician back in the day. Even had a song on the radio once and… it just… it felt good to give him a platform to, you know, be reliving that part of his life again. And he was… he was playing so well.

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: You know, it was a great night, and then… then he collapsed. We just called 911.

Sheila: I–I used to be a nurse, so I–I did what I could, but he–he just went so fast.

Deacon: We learned later that it was an overdose, and… it’s heartbreaking. You know, tom dealt with addiction, but he cleaned himself up. I mean, he had an opportunity for a second chance.

Baker: Sorry for your loss. Losses. Sadly, it happens so often. But now that another employee has died downstairs, a case has been opened.

Sheila: A case?

Baker: Yes, to make sure there was no foul play.

Deacon: What are you doing here?

Steffy: I knew it. Glad to see that the police are involved.

Sheila: We’re cooperating, steffy, there’s no need for all of this.

Baker: If there’s something you’d like to add, we could talk at a different time.

Steffy: No, you’re gonna want to hear this right now. Finn, tell him.

Finn: As I’m sure you’re aware, hollis’ autopsy was done at my hospital. He died of an overdose.

Deacon: No, no, no. There’s no way. No. Hollis… hollis didn’t use.

Li: There were drugs found in his system when he died.

Baker: I read the report. This isn’t news to me.

Steffy: Tom and hollis overdosed on the same drug.

Li: Same toxicity levels.

Steffy: Two men died, and we know why.

Sheila: [Scoffs] Wait a minute. Why are you looking at me?

Steffy: Because it’s you, sheila. You killed them.

Ridge: Now, what I’m saying is, I don’t know if it’s here or not. I can look for it, but not right this minute.

[Exhales] Yes, I hea

Ridge: Now, what I’m saying is, I don’t know if it’s here or not. I can look for it, but no

Hollis: Here is to the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Brooke: Yes. I’ll drink to that.

Hollis: Cheers.

[Glasses clink] Like you said, things change. Hey… don’t underestimate me, boss.

Ridge: I–I appreciate all your help. I do, and I will get it figured out, but not… but not right this moment. Ok… I’m–I’m gonna have to call you back. I-I will. Sorry about that. Sometimes… okay, I get it. Hollis taking drugs is not adding up for you. Tom, different story, right? He had his problems with alcohol, with drugs. But hollis…

Brooke: No, nothing about hollis would lead anybody to believe that he had a substance abuse. And deacon’s street smart. He would have picked up if hollis was using.

Ridge: Probably. So what is it? Let’s make sense of it, right? He didn’t use drugs, but he died of an overdose. How does that make sense to anybody?

Carter: If what you’re saying about hollis is true, then it reinforces our theory that sheila had a hand in this.

Ridge: Carter… it’s a nice theory. It really is. And I love you, and I respect you, but… let’s call it what it is. Can we do that?

Brooke: Why is sheila not behind bars?

Ridge: Or six feet under.

Brooke: After all the horrible things she’s done through her life, now she’s running around, and she possibly killed two innocent men?

Sheila: That’s a dangerous accusation.

Steffy: Well, you’re a dangerous animal.

Deacon: All right, steffy, that’s enough. Please, just–just leave. All right? We’re–we’re dealing with enough here.

Steffy: How many people have to suffer before you take this monster and lock her up? Think about everything she’s done to us. She shot me. She shot finn. She drove li off the road, left her for dead.

Li: And now tom and hollis are her latest victims.

Sheila: I didn’t do this.

Deacon: All right, listen, if what you’re saying about tom and hollis is true, that they died of a drug overdose, then it’s ludicrous to blame sheila. You’re not actually buying this, are you?

Baker: I wouldn’t be a very good cop if I didn’t follow up every lead.

Sheila: But I didn’t do this.

Li: Lies. This is what you do. You hurt people and then do everything you can to cover it up.

Sheila: That’s not true.

Steffy: Nine toes says otherwise.

Sheila: I’m not that person anymore. I’ve changed. I am in therapy. I am married to the love of my life. I am leading a simple, peaceful life.

Deacon: Look, these are false, erroneous claims, and I’m not gonna tolerate it.

Li: This woman–

Deacon: Okay, stop right there, all right? In my house, you’re gonna treat my wife with respect. Look, you guys are way off base thinking that sheila did this. Il giardino’s, it’s our home. Tom and hollis are like family to us.

Sheila: But tom… if it weren’t for him, finn and deacon never would have found me chained up in that… in that warehouse. And hollis, he treated me with respect. He never looked at me like I was some sort of a monster. I cared deeply for both of them. Now, I may have done some horrible things, but I did not do this. I am not responsible for tom and hollis’ death.

Li: Then tell us what happened to them, sheila. Hmm? Tell us.

Sheila: [Sighs] Oh, my god. That’s it.

Baker: What?

Sheila: Hollis found tom’s backpack, and he said that there was something in that backpack that–that could have gotten tom killed, and now hollis is dead, too.

Finn: What are you saying?

Sheila: I’m saying the clue is in that backpack, finn. We’ve–we’ve got to find it. (Vo) when it comes to nature valley,

Steffy: The lies that come out of your mouth. Now there’s this mysterious backpack you just conveniently remembered.

Sheila: I am not lying.

Baker: Stephy, let me handle this. Tell me some more about this backpack.

Sheila: [Sighs] What? What is that?

Hollis: It’s tom’s backpack.

Sheila: Why on earth would you have tom’s backpack?

Hollis: I’ve been trying to wrap my head around how and why tom died. I think I discovered something.

Sheila: Are–are you rifling through his stuff to find his drug stash?

Hollis: I… no. No, not at all.

Sheila: That’s how he died, hollis. There’s nothing for you to wrap your head around. That’s the last time I saw hollis. I feel horrible for being so short with him, but I was… I was still upset about tom’s death.

Deacon: It’s okay. Hollis knew how you felt about him.

Baker: Did you know about any of this?

Deacon: No.

Baker: What was in the backpack?

Sheila: I don’t know.

Baker: You didn’t look inside?

Sheila: No. I told him to get rid of it.

Baker: Why would you do that?

Sheila: Well, tom had no family to leave it to, and I was worried there might still be drugs in it. I didn’t want that attached to the restaurant.

Baker: Call the police, not throw it away.

Li: Unless you wanted to get rid of some damning evidence.

Sheila: You don’t know what you’re talking about. I want to know who killed hollis and tom just as much as all of you.

Steffy: Yeah, I highly doubt that.

Sheila: G-give me a minute to think. I just… the backpack. That backpack still has to be here downstairs. That’S… that’s where our answers are.

Brooke: Still nothing?

Ridge: Uh, stephi’s not answering her texts now.

Carter: Is she okay?

Ridge: I’m sure she’s fine. She’s at the hospital trying to get to the bottom of things.

Baker: Wasn’t in the stockroom.

Li: Or the dumpster.

Sheila: Hollis used to stash things behind the bar all the time. Maybe it’s here.

[Sighs] It’s–it’s not here.

Steffy: Shocker.

Li: Chief baker, please. Please, tell me you see what sheila’s doing.

Steffy: This is just a smoke screen.

Sheila: I’m telling the truth.

Deacon: Why would she lie about this?

Li: To cover up what she did.

Deacon: You know what? You have no motives. You have no proof. All you have are ridiculous accusations.

Baker: Hey, hey, hey, hey. I’m the only one running this investigation. You understand? Was sheila with you that entire night?

Deacon: No, she… she came up to the apartment a little bit later.

Baker: Is that true?

Sheila: Of course it’s true. But I also wasn’t downstairs killing hollis.

Steffy: Chief baker, take sheila in for questioning. I am not safe. Our family is not safe.

Li: Wouldn’t be the first time two people were harmed here. There could be more if this doesn’t end now.

Sheila: I had nothing to do with tom and hollis’ death. Chief baker, you can’t take me in. You can’T. Finn. Finn, say something. I mean, you believe me, don’t you? Please, just say something.

Finn: I believe in second chances. I don’t know what happened to tom and hollis here, but what I do know is wherever sheila goes, destruction follows. I have a family to protect. My wife’s right. And out of an abundance of caution, and given sheila’s past crimes, we would feel safer, and it would be prudent to take sheila into custody for questioning.

Baker: Looks like we agree.

Sheila: No.

Deacon: Come on, you don’t mean this.

Finn: Chief baker, take her away.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Jude coos]

[chuckles] You know, pretty soon, you’re gonna get your first taste at the Brady Pub chowder.

[Jude coos] And you’re a part of a family legacy, so I’m guessing you’re gonna love it. Oh, yeah.

[Jude cooing] – Eric.

Hey, Dad.

Aren’t you supposed to be in Paris?

Change of plans.

But why? And the baby, is– is that Jude?

Yeah, it is.

[Jude coos] Would you like to say hello to your grandson?

[Jude cooing] –

[chuckles]

[phone ringing]

Leo, we’ve discussed this. You have to call and make an appointment–

Actually, this isn’t a professional call, Dr. Evans. I was calling to see if you might want to watch “Drag Race” with me this week. And if that silver fox husband of yours is back in town, we could do it at my place. I can order some room service.

I’ll get back to you. – Well, just don’t take too long. You’re not the only RuPaul-loving shrink in Salem. Actually, I bet you are, and I love that about you. I mean I respect that about you. That’s more appropriate, right?

We’ll talk soon, Leo.

Oh, was I too thirsty? I think I was. – Oh, there you are. – Why, Ms. DiMera, we’re here bright and early today. Suppose you heard that your days of keeping bankers’ hours are over.

What the hell does that mean?

Oh, I guess you haven’t heard. Everett Lynch got released from the nuthatch, which means he’ll probably be back in the office soon. Nose to the grindstone for all of us.

The only nose I want to put to the grindstone is yours.

[dramatic music]

–

[clears throat] Marlena. I wasn’t expecting you. Are you–are you here to see Johnny? I know he’ll be comforted by your presence. It’s been a tough time for him, obviously– Chanel’s miscarriage.

I’m not here to see my grandson. I’m here to see you. I think you know why.

– You’re sure you got Rafe out of the picture?

I told you I would, didn’t I? And when I make a promise, I keep it. – OK. So how’d you do it?

In the back, with a very sharp knife.

[birds chirping]

– Jada, where’s my brother? – They’re working on him now. – How is he? – He’s lost a lot of blood. Someone stabbed him from behind. – Oh, my God! Who could have done this?

I don’t know. When I got to the cemetery, he was just lying there, bleeding. – What did Kayla say? How bad is it?

She made me leave the room.

– Kayla, what’s happening? How is my brother?

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

– Rafe’s in surgery. – What? Why?

The knife penetrated his lung. We need to repair it. We won’t know the extent of the damage until we get in there.

Oh, God. – I need to join the team. I will come find you as soon as I know something.

[dramatic music]

– My God. Jude is your son. Eric, I–

[laughs] I am stunned, obviously, but also very happy for you and for me and for Marlena. But yeah, I’m– I’m kind of overwhelmed. – Yeah, I thought you might be.

Yeah, when did you find out?

Yesterday. I waited to tell you in person.

But how? How did–how did this happen?

I was at the airport, and Nicole showed up to say that her son was mine, that I was Jude’s father.

Nicole knew?

No. Well, she didn’t know either, not until yesterday.

But why is that? Why didn’t we know that Jude was your son before now?

Turns out, we have her husband to thank for that.

[light music]

You’re being kind of loaded for bear here. Does this have anything to do with that press conference?

What the hell else would it have to do with? Do you have any idea how my life is just turned upside down because of all of this? I mean, my God, first I thought my baby was dead, and EJ and I had to mourn that terrible loss. And then we finally get him back, and I think, oh, my God, what a miracle we’ve been given, and only to find out that EJ is now not the father of Jude and Eric is. And you knew about it this whole time.

Me? OK, look, I get why you would think that, but–

OK, you know what? You have caused our family so much pain for the last few months. And you think, what, we’re just gonna be jovial coworkers, trading gossip like nothing ever happened?

[dramatic music] Well? What do you have to say for yourself?

Thanks.

[dramatic music]

Looks like we’re gonna be here for a while.

Yeah. It does.

None of this makes any sense. I was just with Rafe at the pub.

I know. You’re the one who told me that he was going to the cemetery. Good thing you did. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have found him there.

Did you see anything else? Was anybody else there?

No. By the time I got there, he was just laying there on the ground with a knife sticking out of his back.

Just like Li.

You stabbed the police commissioner in the back?

Would you have preferred poison, maybe, or a good old-fashioned bullet to the brain?

I didn’t want him murdered at all.

Well, you said you wanted me to get him out of the picture. How else was I going to do that? I don’t know about you, but I don’t happen to own a private island or two where I can ship people. The only way I know how to get rid of someone is to put him six feet under.

I can’t believe that son of a bitch EJ knew the truth about Jude’s paternity all this time and kept it from you.

That was pretty much Mom’s reaction.

Yeah, well, as it should be. Should be anybody’s reaction. And, Eric, I know you’re a man of God, but don’t tell me that you have already forgiven and forgotten.

Dad, I’ll never forget. I want EJ to pay for what he did. But I–at the moment, I have other priorities.

Well, of course you do. Yeah. No, you got to focus on this little guy, your son.

I missed him so much.

Yes, we all did. Hey, kiddo. This is your Grandpa Roman here, and I am so grateful to have you back in this family, my young Mr. Brady. I cannot wait to spoil you rotten.

Oh, I’m sure you’ll do that.

Oh, I’m planning on it. I am planning on it. Hey, but now, you know, Eric, since you’ve been reunited with your son… – Yeah? – What about being reunited with Nicole?

[light music]

– Oh, I don’t even know why I bother. You don’t give a damn about anyone but yourself. – That’s not true. –

[scoffs] – I’ve been doing a lot of work on myself lately in order to give a damn about other people. – Mm. – Even though we have to love ourselves before we can love other people, as we all know. As a matter of fact, I’m even starting to care about what’s happening in the world. Well, major historical events, anyway. – All right, what the hell does that even mean?

It means that Dr. Marlena Evans is helping me work through my issues so I can become a better person. – Oh. And does Dr. Marlena Evans, who is helping you become a better person, does she know that you helped give birth to her grandchild and let us all believe that he was a DiMera and not her grandson at all, hmm? Does she know that little piece of information?

Well, I don’t know what she does and doesn’t know because our relationship is strictly professional and all about me and my lack of self-esteem. But more importantly, I didn’t know that little Jude wasn’t a DiMera, I swear. I’m being honest.

Honest.

[scoffs] Do you even know the meaning of that word?

Nicole, listen to me. I thought that EJ was that little munchkin’s real father because that’s what I was told.

Oh, and I suppose you’re also gonna tell me that Sloan gave you all that money out of the goodness of her heart.

No. Sloan doesn’t have a heart.

[dramatic music] And I feel really terribly guilty about all of that. But I swear to you, I never knew that Eric was Jude’s real father, his biological father.

So you mean to tell me, all this time, you were convinced that EJ was Jude’s father?

Yes, I was. And I guess because that guy doesn’t seem like much of a nurturer to me, which is putting it mildly, I think it’s part of the reason why I thought that Jude would be better off with Eric, because he was obviously so in love with that little boy.

His little boy. His!

Yes, his little boy.

I’m also finally realizing why EJ paid me to keep my mouth shut.

All right, would you like– would you like a drink, some tea?

I don’t want anything from you. Thank you.

All right. Well, I can see that you’re not in the mood for pleasantries. And since you’re not here to see Johnny, I can assume that–

I came to talk about Jude. – Well, yes. But if you want to see him, I’m afraid you’ve wasted a trip.

Well, when I want to see Jude, I know how to do that. What I actually came to do was this.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised you stuck a knife in Rafe after what you did to Li Shin.

Oh, no, you don’t. That was completely different.

Oh, really? Because it sort of sounds like it was exactly the same.

How was it the same? I never wanted to hurt Li. That was all Gabi’s fault and that awful Melinda Trask’s. Those harpies turned Li off to the very idea of love.

[chuckles] Yeah, that’s the reason he wasn’t interested in you, right? – Of course it was. If they hadn’t hurt him, his heart would have been open and he and I could have been together. We would have had a chance at a wonderful life.

[dramatic music]

[sighs] He was so romantic and handsome and intelligent. And, oh, that smile, it just lit up a room.

Connie! Snap out of it! – OK. Sorry. I was just thinking about what could have been. But that’s all in the past now. – You’re damn right it is. Li’s dead. You and I need to stay laser focused. – OK, OK, I’m focused. You said you’d keep my secret if I helped you out, and I did. The commissioner’s out of commission, and you’re free to be with Jada. Satisfied?

– I can’t believe that somebody hurt Rafe in the exact same way that Li was killed. I mean, couldn’t there be a connection? – It’s possible, but Li’s assailant is dead, so–

Wait. Didn’t you tell me that your ex said that Gil Carter didn’t do it? – Yeah, but that might have been a ploy, you know, just to keep me close, keep me wondering, just a reason for me to keep going back to visit him. – What if it wasn’t a ploy? And what if it’s true? And what if the person that killed Li is the same exact person that stabbed Rafe? It feels more than just a coincidence, doesn’t it?

Yeah, no, it does. And we are going to investigate every possible lead, Gabi. – What about the knife?

The knife? What about it?

Well, I’m assuming you weren’t as stupid as I was when I pulled it out of Li’s back with my bare hands.

No, I waited for the EMTs to arrive. I think they removed it when they brought him here.

Well, where is it?

I’m not sure. You know, I haven’t had any time to even have the team come and process the trauma room yet. – Then it must still be here. With any luck, you can prove who did this to my brother.

I suppose I deserved that.

You deserved that and more.

You knew that the baby that Eric and Sloan adopted was Nicole’s, so you must have known that baby was Eric’s. And you let him come to you and give you that baby, even knowing that it was breaking his heart.

You have every right to be angry with me, Marlena.

Wow. You’re not gonna give me some lame excuse? You’re not gonna try to tell me that you and Nicole could raise Jude in a wonderful environment, give him every privilege? –

[clears throat] There is no excuse for what I did.

The only defense that I could come up with is that I was terrified of what would happen if the truth came out. I knew that I would not only lose my son but my wife, my everything.

– EJ paid you to keep quiet about the baby? – More or less.

Oh, don’t you give me more or less. You tell me all of it now, or I’ll make you eat one of those very expensive shoes.

OK, OK. So a while back, I had a few too many, and I may have spilled the truth to EJ or at least what I thought was the truth.

That the baby Eric and Sloan were raising was actually his and mine. – Right. I thought he would be delighted–overjoyed, even. But instead he paid me to keep my mouth shut.

[scoffs] And that didn’t strike you as odd?

Of course it did, especially once I sobered up. But I would have been up you-know-what creek without that money, so I put my suspicions aside. Only now it all makes sense. He didn’t want to claim Jude as his because he knew that Jude wasn’t really his. He was Eric’s.

Oh, that son of a bitch.

Nicole, I’m sorry. Truly. I know it doesn’t mean much now, and I don’t expect you to accept my apology, but I know that I should have protected you and I should have protected your son. I mean, I helped you give birth to that beautiful little boy, which is the proudest moment of my life, truly.

– If you really are sorry, Leo, then I think there’s a way you can make it up to me. – Really? I will do anything. Just tell me. – Great. I want you to testify to all of this in court.

– Why would you ask me about reuniting with Nicole? You think, after finding out about Jude, I’m just gonna get back together with her? – Eric, come on. You can’t tell me it hasn’t crossed your mind. I mean, all the obstacles that kept you two apart– her marriage to EJ, having a child with him– they’re all gone. – I don’t know for a fact that her marriage to EJ is over. – You haven’t spoken to her about it?

No, not since I saw her at the airport. I mean, she texted me to check in on Jude, but I think this is just her way of giving me a chance to reconnect with him, to bond with him. – Yeah, but, my God, I can’t imagine that she’s ever gonna forgive EJ for what he did. – I can’t imagine it either. – Yeah, so that means, when all the dust clears, she’s gonna be able to very clearly see there’s nothing standing in her way of getting back together with you.

– There’s gonna be a murder investigation. You know that, right? – A murder investigation? I never said Rafe was dead.

[dramatic music] – He’s not? – I didn’t say that either.

Well, which one is it, Connie? It can’t be both! – What I’m trying to tell you is, I don’t know if he survived. I didn’t stick around long enough to find out.

Well, so you just, what, you just left him there, bleeding out?

My plan was to roll him into a conveniently located open grave, but someone showed up before I could move him.

Someone showed up? Who showed up? Who? Did they see you? – What am I, an amateur? No, they didn’t see me. I got the hell out of there as quickly as possible.

You’re sure?

I’m sure.

OK, but you don’t know if Rafe is dead or alive?

[sighs] If I had to put money on it, I’d say odds are against him walking away from this. He looked like a goner when I fled the scene.

Damn it. This is not what I wanted.

– I don’t understand why you’re so upset, and it’s starting to make me mad. Poor Detective Hunter is going to be devastated, and she’s going to need someone to console her. And you’ll be there to pick up the pieces. How is that not what you wanted?

[somber music]

–

[sniffles]

[sobs]

[sighs] You know what? I think I’m gonna drop this bag off and give Smitty a break behind the bar. – I can pitch in if you need me.

Absolutely not. You’ve got my grandson to look after.

Yeah, but don’t you want to hang out with him?

Of course I do, but now that I got him back and my son is gonna stick around Salem, I got all the time in the world to hang with him…

Dad, I don’t–

And you.

I don’t know if I’m sticking around.

What do you mean? I mean, you told that job back in France that something came up, right? – Yeah, we just pushed back my start date, but that’s as far as we got.

But you’re not gonna take that job now, are you? I mean, my God, Eric, why in the hell would you even think about leaving Salem when you finally got a chance to have everything you’ve ever wanted?

[light music] – You want me to walk into a court of law and testify against EJ? – That’s what I want. – EJ DiMera, the district attorney of Salem? – Leo, EJ is not only an immoral bastard, but he broke the law. And it’s not enough for me to just divorce him. I want him locked up. Look, just testify to the jury that EJ paid you to keep quiet, and that should be enough evidence to put him away.

[dramatic music] – That makes a lot of sense. And I wish you the best, Nicole– not just you but you and Eric and that little boy. But I don’t want any part of that.

– I’d be a fool not to have worried that the truth would end my marriage, that I would be certain of it, in fact. Everyone knows the epic love story between Eric Brady and Nicole Walker. It’s a tale for the ages. – Spare me your self-pity. – I’m speaking from the heart, Marlena.

And I would have you know that as soon as even there was a question of Jude’s paternity, Nicole was already planning her escape. – What does that mean? – Oh, you want details? – Oh. – About how I caught your son and Nicole together, over and over again, looking at each other longingly, how I witnessed their addiction to one another?

Then why didn’t you let her go? –

[sighs] – I mean, you can’t believe that a lie of that magnitude would keep her with you. EJ, you’re smarter than that. – Apparently not. Apparently not.

[sighs] And I know now that I deluded myself because I love her so much. I loved the life that we were creating together with Holly and my children. I just thought to myself, if I just had the time, I could make her happy, and she would come to love me more than she ever loved Eric.

Something funny?

– Sometimes I forget who you are and how very much you are like your father.

Thing is, I’m not sure how much consoling I can offer Jada at the moment.

Why not? Is it the meds? I know there can be side effects. – No, Connie! It’s not the meds. It’s because I’m pretending to be Everett, remember?

Oh.

Yeah?

Right, right. But hey, that doesn’t change our deal. I did what you asked. I cleared the way for you to get back together with your ex-wife. – Yeah, by stabbing the police commissioner in the back with a knife. – For you, Bobby. So whether you’re calling yourself Everett or Dr. Jekyll or whoever the hell else you’ve got in there, I need to know that you’re not going to tell anyone that you saw me in the park the night of Li’s death.

[sighs] Fine. I’m not gonna tell anyone. But you need to understand that no one– no one–can see us together, especially now that Jada thinks that the identity of Li’s killer is locked somewhere in Everett’s brain.

[dramatic music]

Hey. Where’d you go? – I was down in the chapel, praying. Feels like the only thing I can do right now to help my brother. Did you find the knife?

Yeah, I sent it over to the forensics lab, so hopefully they’ll be able to pull some prints, DNA, something that points to who did this to your brother.

Yeah, hopefully. Although when I found the knife that killed Li, it was just the beginning of my problems.

– But, Eric, unless I’m missing something, the reason you took that job in France was, you thought it would be too painful to be around Jude. – Yes. – And now you know Jude is your son, so it is not painful anymore. – No.

Not to mention that Nicole is his mother, and I don’t see her pulling up stakes anytime soon. – It’s doubtful. I mean, Holly’s about to start her senior year in high school. – Yeah, so why would you want to move halfway around the world from your son, who you just finally got back? – Dad, I’m still figuring things out. I mean, this is all still so new. – Understood, and I don’t mean to press you. Look, all I’m– all I’m saying, son, is that there are decisions to be made here. And I think a good start would be talking to Nicole.

[light music]

–

[sighs] – Look, Leo, if you’re worried about testifying against EJ because you’ll actually have to admit that you were blackmailing EJ and Sloan, then I will talk to Rafe, OK? I don’t know who will be prosecuting the case, but I’m sure there’s a way to get you immunity in exchange for your testimony. – Maybe. But that’s not why I don’t want to take the stand. – Are you afraid EJ would come after you?

No, it’s not that either. – Well, if you’re not afraid of the law and you’re not afraid of EJ, then what’s the problem?

– I guess I just feel like… hasn’t that guy suffered enough? –

[scoffs] – He lost his kid. He’s losing his wife. – Because of his own actions. – Sort of.

– What does that mean, sort of? – It means… wasn’t he gonna lose you both anyway? I can only assume that that is why EJ kept quiet about Jude, because he knew if the truth came out, it would bring you and Eric closer together. Now he’s got to watch his worst nightmare come true.

– Stefano never gave up on you, did he, no matter how many times he was reminded that John was your one true love? – Well, I’m not sure that it was about me, maybe just more about the desire to win. –

[chuckles] Mm. I’ll admit that we DiMeras don’t like to find ourselves with a losing hand. – So then you just try to stack the deck.

–

[sighs] OK. I’ll admit that maybe my lying about Jude’s paternity was about losing and that I’ve been especially terrified of losing because of the years I lost after the accident and because I lost Samantha and the life we shared…

And that I went over the top in my effort because of my desperation to not lose Nicole, whom I do truly love.

But that’s all moot now, isn’t it? Truth is out. Nicole’s divorcing me. She and Eric now have their son back, and, well, I have nothing.

– I don’t feel sorry for you. – Just stating a fact. And as far as you’re concerned, well, I’ve got my comeuppance, and hey, all is right in the world.

Well, I’m so glad the truth is out. And I’m so glad that Eric has his son.

But as far as your comeuppance goes and all’s right with the world, because of the way you have hurt my family, I can only hope that your suffering has just begun.

[dramatic music]

[laughs]

You’re back from Chicago.

What gave it away? – Did you have a good visit with Rex?

I had a great visit with Rex and an even better return home. I just ran into Eric and our grandson Jude. – You heard the news.

I heard the best news. – It is the best, isn’t it? – Oh, my God.

Oh, my gosh, I’m so happy. And was Eric simply beaming?

Oh, he was. He was. I mean, our boy has waited for this for so long. And to see Jude back in his arms again, to say it did my heart good, my God, that would be just a huge understatement.

He deserves to be happy. – Yes, he does, and now I’m hoping that there’s even more good news on the horizon for Eric and his future happiness. – You’re talking about Nicole. – Well, what do you think? Think they got a chance to get back, work it out again? – Well, only time will tell. But after the last few months, I think we have reason to be hopeful.

[chuckles]

[Jude cooing] Ah, what do you think, cowboy, hmm?

[Jude coos] Your grandpa, he brought this back for you. It’s one of the best baby toys ever, right?

[Jude cooing] He’s a real wise man.

Think he was right about your mommy too.

[Jude cooing]

[knock at door]

–

[sighs] I don’t understand why the courier didn’t drop this off at my office.

[sighs] Well, Marlena, I guess my comeuppance is coming faster than you thought.

[sighs] – Excuse me. – Yes? – Aren’t you Lady Whistleblower? – Why, yes, I am. Wait, I didn’t write anything bad about you, did I? – Not at all. I love your column. I read it every day. People in this town are bat poop crazy, huh? –

[chuckles] To say the least. Well, it’s always so nice to meet a fan. Are you a friend of Everett’s? – Everett? – Everett Lynch, my editor. Isn’t that his room? – Yes, it is. He and I go way back. Nice meeting you. – Wait, don’t–don’t you want an autograph? Selfie?

Thank you. Just make sure you put a rush on those results. This is for Commissioner Hernandez. Forensics should have something for us soon, OK? – Feels like he’s been in surgery forever.

I know. Kayla, is there any update? – Is Rafe out of surgery? – There’s been a complication. Rafe has a pulmonary embolism, a clot to the lung. The surgeons have worked to remove it, but I’m afraid he’s slipped into a coma.

[sobbing]

Oh, my God.

I need to get back there. I will get back to you, but pray for him, OK? – Yeah.

It’s gonna be OK. It’s gonna be OK.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: Mom, the toxicology report says Hollis died of a drug overdose.

Li: Yes, just like the other man he worked with.

Finn: Tom.

Li: Yes. The same drug was found in both their systerms.

Poppy: Oh, that’s so tragic.

Li: Yes, but it’s not an accident. They were killed, Finn, and I know exactly who did it.

Poppy: Who?

Li: You know exactly who I’m talking about, Penelope.

Brooke: “Second death at Beverly Hills restaurant.”

Hope: Do the police think they’re connected?

Brooke: Well, they’re investigating now…interviewing other employees.

Ridge: It’s definitely going to take a cut out of the pizza business.

Steffy: Well, there’s one employee they should be questioning first.

Deacon: Of course I’ll cooperate with the police. I’ll help in any way I can. Yeah, you can quote me on that. Listen, listen. You know, we pride ourselves at being a high class establishment here at Il Giardino. Well, you know what? Our customers do feel safe. It’s my responsibility to make them feel safe, and the staff. Look, I’m not gonna let this go. I’m gonna find out what happened because Tom and Hollis weren’t just employees. I lost two of my friends.

Ridge: Sorry, I’m not trying to make light of two people dying, but the restaurant is going to take a hit. The press loves a scandal.

Steffy: Bad press will be the least of his worries if the cops actually look into this.

Hope: Wait, you’re not saying that you think my dad had something to do with this.

Ridge: Two people died at his restaurant, and he’s got a bit of a shady past, so, yeah.

Steffy: Deacon is no saint, but it isn’t difficult to connect the dots and realize who’s behind this.

Deacon: No, no, that’s not what I said. Look, uh, Tom and Hollis were good men. They were good friends. Why don’t you try printing that?

Sheila: Reporter?

Deacon: No…vulture! Guy just wanted click bait. You know, he’s making it seem like Il Giardino’s cursed or something.

Sheila: Well, isn’t that the way you’re feeling?

Deacon: Maybe, but I sure as hell don’t want it over the news!

Sheila: You think it’s going to be bad for the restaurant.

Deacon: Ah, it ain’t gonna be good for it. I’m not upset. I’m just sick to my stomach. I lost my friends; I don’t know why. I wanna know why. I wanna know what the hell happened.

Li: It’s obvious who killed these two men.

Poppy: Uh, not to me.

Li: You wanna deny it?

Finn: Mom, what are you saying?

Li: What should be perfectly clear to everyone. Two employees of Il Giardino are dead. Overdosed on the same drug and killed at the same place.

Finn: You keep saying, “killed,” but the report just —

Lie: The report only gives us part of the story, Finn. We know the rest. These two men came in contact with an unstable woman who has a history of violent, criminal behavior: Sheila Carter. Sheila Carter killed those men.

Hope: My dad wants to know how this happened more than anyone.

Steffy: Even if his wife’s behind it?

Hope: Well, I mean, if… tom and hollis died because of, I don’t know, a shooting or stabbing, I could see that. But let’s not forget, tom did die of an overdose.

Steffy: Sheila hurts people any way she can.

Brooke: It’s true, honey. She’s capable of anything.

Hope: And I am not denying that or defending her.

Steffy: This is not a coincidence, hope.

Hope: Yeah, but they can happen.

Ridge: Not like this, they can’t, what are you talking about? Two people died unexpectedly in the same place. You throw sheila into the mix, you gotta wonder about it, right?

Hope: Okay, fine, yes. Yes, I agree.

Steffy: So what are you gonna tell us? Keep an open mind about sheila? Give her a chance?

Hope: No.

Steffy: Because your gut is telling you the same thing mine is.

Hope: [Sighing] Yes. Tom and hollis could have died because of sheila.

Sheila: Don’t let that reporter get to you.

Deacon: That’s not him. It’s this whole damn situation.

Sheila: But you had nothing to do with it.

Deacon: Sheila, I have everything to do with it. It’s my restaurant. They were my friends.

Sheila: And they know that you cared about them, deacon.

Deacon: I was upstairs when hollis died, steps away, and he was down here alone.

Sheila: But you didn’t know.

Deacon: I still don’t know. What happened? What the hell happened to hollis?

[Distant car horn honking]

Sheila: Did the reporter ask you about that?

Deacon: Oh, yeah, no, I mean, he wants to make this seem like it’s the scandal of the century.

Sheila: But that’s his job. You’ve got to sensationalize, or people aren’t going to pay attention.

Deacon: Tom and hollis deserved attention before they died.

Sheila: And you gave them that… baby, you gave them attention, care, respect.

Deacon: Yeah, well, apparently not where it really mattered, right? Tom said he was sober, and then he od’s? It doesn’t make sense.

Sheila: No, but people make their own choices. Sometimes just one bad decision has– has a tragic outcome.

Deacon: What are you saying? You think hollis made a bad decision? I mean, do you think he was sick or… just think he was in the wrong place at the wrong time? We have no idea why hollis died.

Finn: [Sighing] You think sheila did this?

Li: Don’t you dare defend that sociopath. I don’t care if she gave birth–

Finn: No, I’m not defending her. I admit, I couldn’t help but think the same thing. Two co-workers, in the same workplace, the same substance.

Li: I’m so relieved to hear you say that.

Poppy: I don’t know sheila very well, but she does have kind of a frightening history. I agree with my sister. If foul play was involved, then sheila has to be the prime suspect.

Finn: Yes, but at this point, we can’t say what happened to hollis and tom weren’t accidental overdoses. I mean, there’s an epidemic of drug-related deaths in this country. I mean, we see it all the time in the er. The amount of deaths that is out there, that drug kills.

Li: Yes, it sure does. But so does sheila. Do I need to remind you of how she terrorized us? Shot you, held you hostage… rammed me off the road and… left me to die.

[Engine roaring]

Li: Damn it, sheila! Aah! God!

[Engine revving]

[Car horns honking]

Li: Back off, you crazy bitch!

[Crash]

[Booming]

[Tires squealing]

Li: Aah!

Li: I am absolutely certain sheila carter murdered those two men. A mystery!

Ridge: Everyone warned deacon to cut ties with sheila. Everyone.

Steffy: She doesn’t deserve an ounce of sympathy or understanding. Getting close to sheila, you’re inviting chaos into your life.

Brooke: If deacon didn’t see it before, he has to realize it now.

Hope: Yes, but I’m still just stuck on the motive. If she is responsible for tom and hollis’s deaths, why?

Steffy: Well, finn is at the hospital with li right now, and li is overseeing hollis’s autopsy.

Brooke: Good, she’ll make sure the truth comes out.

Steffy: Sheila killed those men. There is no doubt in my mind. I don’t know how, I don’t know why. But when I figure this out, they’re gonna get justice. Her days of hurting people and endangering my family are over. This time, sheila carter’s gonna pay.

Sheila: You… you’re asking me things I can’t answer.

Deacon: I know. I’m sorry. I know you’re struggling, too.

Sheila: Oh, you can see that?

Deacon: Of course I can. I mean, you found hollis. I can still hear you screaming in my head. You know, this place was supposed to be our oasis. Feels like a plague has fallen on il giardino.

Sheila: Look, it’s sad what happened to tom and hollis, but their two deaths could be completely unrelated.

Deacon: They both happened here.

Sheila: That’s because this is where they spent their time. It is possible that… these were just two tragic accidents.

Deacon: We’ll know soon enough.

Sheila: What? What do you mean, deacon?

Deacon: Look, I don’t know if it’s because I was talking to that idiot reporter or the general ominous feeling around here now, but my mind is starting to go to some very dark places. I’m starting to think that maybe tom and hollis’s death… was anything but an accident.

Li: I am certain sheila carter targeted those two innocent men. Penelope seems pretty sure of that herself. What about you, finn?

Finn: I’m not conducting the investigation, mom.

Li: But you do care about the case?

Finn: Yeah, for a lot of reasons, and I meant it. It would be irresponsible and short-sighted to ignore sheila’s history.

Li: You don’t have to be diplomatic with me. Not about her.

Finn: Okay, is it possible that she was involved? Yeah, that is a valid question.

Li: They both died from the same drug.

Finn: Which is worth looking into.

Li: That’s exactly what I’m going to do right now.

Finn: What?

Li: I’m going over there.

Finn: What, to the– to the restaurant?

Li: Yes, I’m going to go to il giardino and confront that mad woman.

Finn: Okay, mom, you can’T… you can’t just go, there is no conclusive evidence that directly ties sheila to this.

Li: What? Except for that we know her. We know what she’s capable of.

Finn: [Sighing] Okay, then I’ll go with you.

Li: No. Absolutely not. How many times do I have to tell you, you cannot go anywhere near sheila. [Scoffs ]I won’t let you undermine your marriage, okay? Endanger your family. You promised steffy that you would stay far away from that woman. I can do this alone.

[Knocking on door]

[Distant hospital pa chatter]

Steffy: They said I could find you here.

Finn: Hey, what’re… what’re you… hey…

Steffy: Is it– is it done? Is the autopsy finished?

Li: Yes.

Steffy: So, what– what happened? How did hollis die?

Li: Just like tom starr. Hollis was murdered by sheila.

Deacon: Hope, you know how much I love you. You and the kids. You– you mean the world to me. But so does sheila. I asked sheila to marry me.

Ridge: Everyone warned deacon to cut ties with sheila.

Steffy: Getting close to sheila, you’re inviting chaos into your life.

Hope: If she is responsible for tom and hollis’s deaths, why?

Steffy: There is no doubt in my mind– sheila killed those men.

[Echoing] …Killed those men.

Brooke: How are you doing, sweetheart?

Hope: I, uh… I’m just worried about dad. The restaurant. It’s heartbreaking, what happened to hollis. He was so young.

Brooke: It is. It’s hard to believe.

Hope: And to die like that? All alone. The fact that they didn’t find the body until the next day, it’s horrible. Like, I just want to understand why this happened.

Ridge: That’s funny, you wanna know why this happened? You know why this happened. We all know why it happened. Your father led sheila into his life. That’s what happened. That’s it.

Hope: Steffy believes that once we have the autopsy results, we will get the whole picture. But what if we don’t? I mean, what if it just raises more questions than we already have? I– you know my dad. He’s going to want solid, concrete proof before he’s even capable of believing that sheila had anything to do with it.

Ridge: Well, you know what I think? I think he’s not going to believe whatever’s in the autopsy report anyway.

Hope: Well, great. What’s that gonna do for our relationship?

[Sighing] What am I saying? No, that’s not the point. That is not important right now. Hollis is dead. His family is never going to get to see him again.

Ridge: And that’s awful. But all we can do right now is make sure it doesn’t happen again. Steffy’s right. This is sheila. This is all about sheila.

Sheila: What are you saying?

Deacon: I’m saying that this doesn’t add up. It just feels wrong.

Sheila: You just lost two of your friends. No, no, no.

Deacon: No-no-no, it’s not that, it’s like there’S… I don’t know, it’s like there’s something or somebody behind this. Okay, tom died of an overdose. And, yes, he had a history, but come on. He was clean. He was turning his life around.

Sheila: [Scoffs] That’s because you were helping him. You wanted to see him succeed.

Deacon: Yes, and if tom had died and that was it, I would be sad enough. But then you come downstairs and you find hollis dead.

Sheila: I get it. You can’t believe that these were just tragic accidents. I mean, your friends are gone, and you don’t want their deaths to be meaningless or random. First tom and then hollis. It is upsetting and tragic. But it’s not murder.

Steffy: Murder?

Li: [Sighing] This is sheila we’re talking about.

Steffy: You’re saying that the autopsy pointed to sheila?

Finn: Well, that’s– that’s my mother’s interpretation.

Li: Which you agree is possible.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Wait, how– how did hollis die?

Finn: Well, he and tom died the same way.

Steffy: Drug overdose?

Li: That’s not all.

Finn: The details of the report show that hollis’s death is suspicious. And I don’t want to jump to any conclusions, but I can’t deny that the report is concerning. But similarities between these cases wouldn’t be unexpected. I mean, tom and hollis, they were acquainted. They worked in the same place, and they probably socialized with the same people, but…

Steffy: But what?

Finn: Not only did hollis overdose, he died of the same drug that killed tom.

Steffy: The same drug?

Li: Yes.

Steffy: Sheila. Tom and hollis, they didn’t die by accident. There are no accidents when sheila is around. You’re telling me these two guys dropped dead at a place where Sheila works and lives? I mean, come on. You told me that Deacon and Hollis, when they heard that Tom died, and that he was using drugs, that they were shocked. And Hollis, he was even offended … now he dies the exact same way?

Frinn: No, it’s strange.

Li: Sinister.

Steffy: Oh, it’s awful. Sheila did this. Sheila killed Tom and Hollis. Oh, my God. I don’t know how, or why, but one thing is certain. This time, Sheila will pay for her crimes.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, sorry. I, uh, forgot that you were stopping by.

Is it a bad time?

Uh, no. So uh, you had a– a business thing that you wanted to talk about?

Well, yes, I did. I mean, Abe and I are looking for investors for an exciting new project, and I was hoping that you would come on.

OK. So what’s the pitch?

Are you sure this is a good time? Because you seem distracted. I mean, is something going on?

Um, yeah, I’m sorry. Uh, so there was a bit of a surprise when we, uh, went to Abby’s grave.

[ominous music]

Abigail’s coffin was empty?

Yeah. Chad and your Uncle Jack saw it with their own eyes.

So does this prove she’s alive?

Well, no, not necessarily. I mean, Clyde could have had one of his guys remove the body just to back up his story.

That would be so horribly evil.

Well, that about describes Clyde Weston.

I wish Papa weren’t in Greece right now so he could help Chad figure this out.

I know. But hopefully your father will be back soon.

But if Abigail is alive, that would mean she’s been apart from her family for so long. And where, and under what conditions?

I know. It’s just too much to fathom right now.

It is. But even before this possibility came up, I’ve been thinking a lot about Abigail.

Because of Everett?

[sighs]

I’m sorry, baby. I know that this has been rough.

I want so badly to help him, Mom. But Bobby’s making it impossible to reach him.

Not too many choices, huh, Everett? Gray T-shirt or black T-shirt? Black one it is.

[tense music]

Gabi!

[gasps] Oh my god! It is so good to see you. Oh, and such a relief that you are finally free.

I still feel like I’m dreaming.

Well, you are not. You are right back here, right back at home where you belong. And your brother is so happy. It broke his heart when he couldn’t find a way to prove your innocence.

I know Rafe did everything he could.

Yeah, well–

And so did you.

Oh, thank you. But your brother and your husband, they deserve all the credit. They’re the ones who got the evidence in front of the judge to get your conviction overturned.

And I am so grateful for that.

Mm.

And relieved that we finally know who really killed Li.

Actually, maybe we don’t.

[foreboding music]

Yes, Paulina, I’m at the gravesite now. We finished processing the scene. Hey, make sure you send someone down here to fill in this hole. Thanks. Yeah. An open grave can definitely be dangerous. Yeah.

[screams]

[groans]

Looks like that open grave was the least of your worries.

[dramatic music]

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

Rafe, are you there? Hello? Hmm.

[phone beeps] Hmm.

Something wrong?

Well, I was just talking to Commissioner Hernandez, and then he just cut off. Probably just bad reception. I’m sure he’ll call me back if he needs me.

[ominous music]

[groans]

[groaning]

Nothing personal, Commish. It’s just a deal’s a deal. Bobby Stein wants to be with Jada Hunter, and you are in the way.

– I’m not worried. Commish or no commish, Jada will come around.

What, you think she’s going to be so grateful to you for helping her solve Li’s murder that she’s going to fall into your arms and declare her undying love for you? Please. You’re just part of the job to her. And when the job is done, she’s going back to the boyfriend. The one with only one personality.

You did your research.

It doesn’t take a lot of effort to sneak a look at a chart around here.

Well, either way, I think I’ll take my chances.

Or– what if there’s an easier solution for both of us?

Which is what?

You keep my name out of this, and I’ll take care of the commish.

Now Bobby has a clear path for winning back his ex and no reason to out me as Li Shin’s killer.

So you don’t think Gil Carter murdered Li because your ex claims it was someone else?

Rafe told you, huh?

He did, yeah. So what exactly did Bobby tell you?

He just told me that he saw the killer. Like, shortly after the crime happened.

Did he describe him to you? Or her?

He didn’t get a chance to. He was about to tell me, but then we got interrupted by Everett.

Ah.

Have you talked to your Aunt Kimberly for advice about Everett?

I have, actually. She mostly said just to be patient, which I’m not good at, as you well know.

Yes, I do. It’s also hard to be patient when you care about somebody, and they’re suffering.

Especially when you can’t do anything to help.

Yeah.

Although I did ask Jada to talk to Bobby. I was hoping that she could convince him to let Everett out.

How’d that go?

I don’t know. Jada and I have been playing phone tag. But I’m assuming if she’d made any progress, I would have heard by now.

[phone rings] It’s Marlena.

Mm.

[phone beeps]

Hello. When? Where is he now? That’s great. Thank you for letting me know. I will. Talk soon.

I take it it’s good news?

Everett’s re-emerged. He’s been released from Bayview. I have to go see him.

Steph, wait. I– are you sure that’s a good idea?

[tense music]

You know, honey, maybe you need to give Everett a little time, you know, to reacclimate.

But we just talked about how impatient I am. And if you don’t count that disaster of a visit that I had with his alter, I haven’t seen Everett in a month and a half. Mom, I– I need to go talk to him. I need to– I need to know that he’s really back.

You really care about him, don’t you?

I do. And I think watching him go through all of this has made me realize just how much.

Then go. Go be with him. Go on.

[elevator dings]

[sighs]

[liquid sloshing]

Jada and I, when we were good, man, we were crazy about each other.

[slurps] Mmm. Can’t wait to pick up where we left off. Assuming that freak who killed Li Shin keeps up her end of the bargain.

[slurps]

[exhales] Whew. Wow. Detective Hunter, uh, it’s so great to see you.

[chuckles] Detective Hunter? You don’t have to pretend anymore, Bobby.

How’d you know it was me?

My cop instincts. And the way you looked at me.

I, uh– I’m sorry I tricked you. I just– I had to get out of that cuckoo’s nest. You’re not going to make me go back, are you?

Well, if I did that–

[door slams] –then I couldn’t do this.

[exhales]

[exhales] Let’s hope all my dreams come true. Mmm.

So now that Everett’s back in control–

I can’t get what I need from Bobby.

Ah.

Yeah. Um, the information that he claimed to have on Li Shin’s murder, you know, Everett can’t access what Bobby saw that night.

Unfortunately, I’m well acquainted with split personalities and how challenging they can be, to put it mildly. Abigail DiMera even named one of her alters after me. Gabby with a Y.

Oh.

So I know all too well how one personality can know one thing, and not the other. It– yeah.

Wow. Uh, well, as much as I am relieved that Everett’s back, I just can’t help but hope that there’s a way to get that information from Bobby.

You know, Rafe thinks Bobby is bluffing, playing games just so he can spend more time with you.

Yes, I do know that. But I’m telling you, my gut– my gut tells me that he was being straight with me.

And what about Li’s bloody fingerprint on Gil’s book? If Gil wasn’t the killer, then how do you explain that?

[sighs]

[tense music]

OK, time to make you disappear.

And isn’t it lovely how things work out sometimes? At least no one can say I didn’t give you a proper burial.

Please have the cemetery workers fill in Abigail DiMera’s grave. The last thing that this city needs is a lawsuit from some poor soul who tripped and fell in. Mm, thanks.

[phone beeps] Oh.

You know, I’m just trying to process Abigail’s coffin being empty.

I know. It’s creepy as hell.

Yeah. I mean, it could mean that Abigail is really alive.

Mm, if only. Oh my god, but it must be so hard on Chad to not know. Oh, poor– poor guy. He must be going out of his mind.

[exhales]

I mean, that’s unbelievable. Do you really think there’s a chance that Clyde has Abigail?

Well, I mean, you know, the empty coffin seems to back up his story.

Yeah, but I mean, that could be it. It could be a story. We all know that– that Clyde is capable of some crazy stuff.

Yeah, I know, I know. Rafe and Kayla, uh, said the same thing.

But you believe that he might be telling the truth.

There’s a video.

There’s a video?

Yeah. Uh, Clyde told me about a safe deposit box. Inside of it was a flash drive. And uh, it’s a video of a woman. And uh, you can’t really tell. You can’t see her face, but it could be her.

Oh my god.

Yeah. And it’s– it’s killing me to think that that, uh– that she could be out there somewhere. And I have no idea how to find her.

[tense music]

Yeah, I must have watched the video a thousand times.

So it could be Abigail, or–

Yeah, or it could just be another one of Weston’s games.

[sighs] I am so sorry this is happening to you. I really am. I– is there anything that I can do?

No. Thank you, but no. I, um, I sent the video to be enhanced, and Jack’s there right now pushing them to get it done. So you know, nothing to do but sit around and wait.

OK. Can I wait with you?

Yeah. Yeah, I’d like that. Uh– um, the– your business proposition. Uh, what’s it about? I could use a distraction.

Are you sure?

Yes. Yeah. What are you and Abe working on?

[exhales] How do you feel about soap operas?

What you doing?

I’m reading up on “Body & Soul.”

Aw, are you missing your favorite TV show?

[laughs] Well, the reason I’m doing this research is that Kate and I might try to save my favorite TV show.

Save it how?

By producing it ourselves.

Uh.

[laughs] Abraham Carver, I didn’t know you had an interest in TV production.

Well, it’s– it’s Kate’s idea. She thinks that we can create a soap opera.

Oh. And now that “Body & Soul” has been canceled–

We might try to buy the rights.

Oh!

[laughs]

Well, uh, that sounds perfect to me.

So you don’t think it’s– it’s too ambitious? I mean, it’s going to be a lot of hard work.

[laughs] The way you feel about those characters? Oh, it would be a labor of love. Not to mention you already have a built-in audience, and you– you already know that show so well.

Well, I thought I did. But I mean, there are decades of history with this show. I mean, you have no idea of all the outlandish stories that have been told over the years.

Mm. Try me.

OK. All right. Well, there are aliens, talking dolls, split personalities.

[tense music]

[sighs] Stupid.

[knock at door] Jada.

[snaps fingers]

[panting] Oh, it’s you.

Who were you expecting?

[mystical music]

I’ll admit, I don’t know how the pieces of this puzzle fit together. Not yet.

So you think Bobby really saw something that night?

I do.

OK. So if Gil was the one that murdered Li, then we know he’s dead. And if it wasn’t him, I don’t like the idea of the killer just walking around free.

Me neither. Anyway, uh, I should probably go find your brother and fill him in on what happened today with Bobby.

I’ll save you some trouble. He said he was headed to the cemetery to check on Abigail’s grave.

Once I get you into this grave, I’ll cover you with enough dirt that no one knows you’re down there. Then they’ll fill in the rest for me, and no one will ever be the wiser. Sounds like something you’d hear on one of those true crime podcasts.

Rafe?

Oh, shoot.

Rafe, you here? Oh my god, Rafe!

[dramatic music]

So if Abe and I secure the rights to “Body & Soul,” we’ll be able to produce it right here in Salem.

Well, look, I don’t– I don’t know anything about soaps, you know? I know my mom used to watch them, but I don’t remember anything about them, so…

Yeah, well, there’s definitely a lot fewer than there used to be. But Abe and I are very confident that we can grow the existing audience and make a substantial profit.

[contemplative music]

Well, look, I had a good time, you know, working on Johnny’s project with him, you know, even though it never got off the ground. So yeah, sure. I’ll dip my toe in the entertainment world one more time.

What? OK. Is that a yes?

Yes. Definite yes. Sure. Let’s make some soap.

Yes!

Oh, I would love being married to a big-time TV producer.

[laughter] Ooh, do you think we’ll get to go to the Daytime Emmys?

Oh, let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Kate and I have to secure the rights first.

Oh, wait. Does this mean we need to move to LA?

No, no, no. Definitely not. Definitely not. There are tax incentives to shoot locally.

Oh, OK. But, well, do you think you could convince those actors to leave the glamour of Hollywood and move to our little humble little hamlet here in the Midwest?

I don’t know. I hope so. I– I know the, uh, the fans, they would prefer to use the same person. But, well, if we have to, we can always recast.

Recast?

Yeah. I mean, on soaps, they– they do it all the time, and fans seem to be cool with it.

Mm.

Ava, hi. Sorry I ambushed you earlier. I don’t blame you for rushing off. I want you to know that I’m serious about reviving the Gabi Chic brand at DiMera. Call me back so that we can make this happen. I’m already putting together a team.

How exciting! Where do I sign up?

[tense music]

Oh my god! Oh my god! Who did this to you? All right. OK, good, you still have a pulse. Stay with me. Stay with me, baby. I’m going to get you some help.

[phone beeps]

Sorry about that. Um, I ordered room service. And so I thought it was the food.

Oh, that’s OK. I should have called first.

Yeah. No, no. Um, how did you know, I was discharged?

Marlena told me. I just– I can’t believe you’re really back.

Yeah.

I was so worried I’d never see you again.

Um, I appreciate your concern. Uh, it means a lot to me.

There’s so much I need to tell you. I– I don’t even know where to begin.

Yeah. There’s– there’s something I need to tell you too.

You go first.

OK. Um, it’s about us.

What about us?

[exhales] I’m afraid you and I, we can’t see each other anymore.

[dramatic music]

Well, I am relieved that we can stay here in Salem while you work on “Body & Soul.”

Yeah.

Well, I’d hate to be so far away from Chanel.

You know, if this had happened a few weeks ago, you would have been pushing us to move to LA.

Mm. But not now, now that she and Johnny are staying. Oh, and she’s– she’s doing– you know, she’s doing a little bit better. You know, psychologically, I mean. She’s really anxious to reopen the bakery.

Well, for the record, I would never ask you to leave your children. Or your job as mayor.

Well, I appreciate that. But with all the things going on at city hall, I just might have to give all that up anyway.

What now?

Well, as you know, I had to deal with all that recall nonsense. And now there’s this whole fallout from EJ’s press conference. Stephanie Johnson thought it would be a good opportunity for my new DA to improve his image. But then Gabi DiMera exposed him as a liar.

Yeah. It was pretty shocking.

Ooh, yes, it was. Oh, whew! And if you and Kate ever have any trouble coming up with any stories for “Body & Soul,” well, you– you can feel free to steal that one. Ooh, a district attorney trying to pass off another man’s baby as his own. Oh, sheesh! Ooh.

Well, this, uh– this town has some pretty wild stories.

Mm-hmm.

So if we ever needed inspiration–

[chuckles]

OK, then. I’m going to send the paperwork over for you to sign.

Great.

But no rush on it, because I know you have a lot on your mind. You’ll keep me notified about Abigail?

Yeah, I will.

Look, I don’t want to get your– your hopes up. But I think it’s worth noting that you have lost Abigail before, and by some miracle, she came back to you. So it’s really not a remote possibility that that could happen again.

Well, I definitely have thought about that too. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been able to move on all these years. Because subconsciously, I feel like she’s still out there.

[gentle music]

You don’t want to see me anymore?

It’s not about what I want. It’s– it’s about what I need. Dr. Evans thinks that I have a long way to go, you know, before I’m– I’m fully integrated. That it’s– it’s– it’s going to take a lot of therapy.

Sure. Of course.

Which means I really– I shouldn’t be dating anyone right now. Because you know, I have to focus all my energy into– into becoming mentally healthy.

Right.

I’m so sorry.

No– oh, don’t be. Don’t be. Your mental health comes first. And, um– and I will be there for you as a friend.

Thank you. I– I feel awful about this. But I– but I know it’s for the best.

[sighs] It wouldn’t be fair to you either, you know? Just given my mental struggles, for us to– for us to be involved.

Right. I get it. And I respect your decision. But I want you to know if you need me, I’m here for you.

You really are the best. I’ll never forget how hard you fought for me.

I just want you to be happy, Everett. Take care.

You too. Oh, god.

[sniffs]

[exhales]

Anyway, Ava, uh, call me. Hi. You’re–

Connie. Connie Viniski. I was at your press conference.

Oh.

I congratulated you on your release.

I remember now.

I knew you didn’t kill Li Shin.

Right. Uh, I’m glad that they finally found the evidence to prove my innocence.

Sorry to eavesdrop, but I couldn’t help but overhear. You’re reviving Gabi Chic.

That’s the plan.

Well, I’d love to come work for you.

OK. Uh, do you have any experience in corporate retail?

I sure do. And I have so many of your products. Your wigs, your lavender candles, your jade eggs.

[chuckles] I’m a Gabi Chic stan.

Oh.

[chuckles] OK. So you know a lot about my brand. Uh, why don’t you send me your résumé?

Will do. And I promise if you give me the chance, you won’t regret it. I’m extremely loyal, for one thing. You’d never have to worry about me stabbing you in the back.

Hmm.

We got a four-centimeter stab wound. He’s lost a lot of blood. Type and cross for two units.

On it.

We need to keep track of his BP, OK? We don’t want him going into hypovolemia. I need an X-ray to check his spine, an ultrasound eval to make sure that there’s no renal laceration or any other organs affected.

Kayla, how bad is it?

Listen, I know you’re worried, but you need to step outside, please.

OK, OK. Please, just don’t let him die.

I promise you– I promise you we will take care of him, OK? Please go out.

[machine beeping]

Rafe, I love you.

[tense music]

Good news. Chad is going to invest in the show.

Oh, Kate, that is wonderful.

[laughs]

I believe that we have the capital to pull this off, Abe.

Oh. Well, I want in on it too. I can write you two a nice big check.

Um, I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Why not?

Because we’re going to need city permits to shoot here locally.

Yeah, and you’re the mayor.

Oh. OK. Yeah, I think I see where you’re going with this.

[laughter]

You know, that’s why I didn’t ask you to invest. Yeah, it’s, um– well, we do appreciate the offer.

Yes, we do. We definitely appreciate the offer. The other good news is that I managed to arrange a meeting with the studio.

You mean they’re– they’re interested in selling the rights?

Yes, they are.

Oh, that is just– this is actually going to happen.

Yes. Yes. Believe it, Abe, because you and I are going to bring “Body & Soul” back from the dead.

[laughter]

When my mom told me about Abigail, I had to stop by and see how you’re doing.

Yeah, I’m hanging in there.

[sighs] I just– I hope so much that there’s a, you know, a positive outcome.

Yeah, you and me both. So, um, any updates on Everett?

Actually, he was released from Bayview today.

Yeah? Well, that’s good news, right? – I feel awful about this. But I– but I know it’s for the best.

[sighs] It wouldn’t be fair to you either, you know? Just given my mental struggles, for us to– for us to be involved.

Right. I get it. And I respect your decision. But I want you to know if you need me, I’m here for you.

You really are the best. I’ll never forget how hard you fought for me.

It is, yeah. I mean, he has a long way to go. But at least Bobby is not in control of his life anymore.

What are you doing here? If someone sees us together–

Relax, Bobby. I was careful. You are still Bobby, right?

Yes. I faked being Everett so that I could get out of Bayview and avoid telling Jada that you killed Li.

So you’re keeping quiet about that?

Just like I promised. What are you doing to hold up your end of the bargain?

[ominous music]

You search every inch of that cemetery, and you find the son of a bitch who stabbed the commissioner. Keep me posted.

[tense music]

So you think I should ask you again, huh?

Well, like I said earlier, just because I turned you down the first time– I don’t know. Maybe I see things differently now.

Oh, differently?

Mm-hmm.

Differently how?

Well, if I can be serious for a moment–

OK.

[sighs] My failed marriage, you know, which you now know way more than I’m sure you wanted to. And before that, there was Eric, which also ended very badly, as you know as well. And they were just– they were just disasters, both of them. And uh, I don’t know, it just really got me kind of cynical, you know, about– about relationships in general. And I just viewed relationships, that they just– I don’t know, like men couldn’t be trusted. I just couldn’t trust them. And I don’t know, then you came along. And you’ve really proved me wrong.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, because you are such a sweet person. And you are loyal, and you’re honest, and you’re kind. And you are sexy.

Ooh.

[laughs] And I’m just so lucky to have you. You, Rafe Hernandez, you’re my person. And I think you should ask me again.

Do you?

Uh-huh.

All right, Jada Hunter. Jada, the sweetest girl I’ve ever met, who also is sweet and kind and loyal and sexy.

[laughs]

You want to move in with me? Oh–

Yes, I do.

Yes?

I do. Yes, I do.

Mmm.

[melancholy music]

[elevator dings]

Jada, where’s my brother?

They’re working on him now.

How is he?

He’s lost a lot of blood. Someone stabbed him from behind.

Oh my god. Who could have done this?

How soon is Rafe Hernandez out of the picture?

It’s already done.

What? Really? You sure?

Trust me, honey. The police commissioner is not going to be a problem for you, or anyone else, ever again.

[dramatic music]

[exhales]

There’s no spinal involvement. It looks like–

[machine beeping rapidly] Increase the oxygen flow. He’s going into shock. We’re losing him.

[dramatic music]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: Now the kids are gone for the day. Why don’t we take this back to the bedroom?

Steffy: You read my mind.

Finn: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah.

[Laughter]

[Phone chiming]

Steffy: No.

Finn: [Laughing] I’m on call.

Steffy: Oh, no.

Finn: It could be the hospital. Could be the hospital. Hold on a second.

Steffy: Fine.

Finn: Okay. It’s just my mom. She said hollis from il giardino died.

Steffy: What?

Brooke: What?

Ridge: Nothing, I just like you in the office more. Gives us a chance to collaborate.

Brooke: Yeah, I like all this attention.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: I think we should collaborate more on this special project.

Ridge: [Laughing]

Hope: Can I interrupt?

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: What is it, sweetie?

Hope: It’s hollis.

Ridge: Hollis, from your dad’s restaurant?

Brooke: What about him?

Hope: He passed away.

Sheila: Hey.

Deacon: I… just can’T… I can’t believe he’s gone.

Sheila: I know. I’m never gonna get that image out of my mind, I… just seeing hollis laying there on the floor.

Deacon: You’re in shock. I guess I was, too. I’M… babe, I’m sorry you had to find him like that.

Sheila: It was horrible.

Deacon: Yeah. So sudden. Just like tom. Now they’re both gone.

Bill: Mmm.

Poppy: [Chuckling]

Bill: This is nice.

Poppy: Hmm.

Bill: We didn’t get much time together over the weekend.

Poppy: Well, there’s just, you know, a lot happening, and luna and I are still getting settled in.

Bill: You’re happy, though, right?

Poppy: Yes, bill. Of course I’m happy. This is the happiest I’ve ever been.

Bill: Good, because you seem a bit, um, I don’t know, preoccupied lately. And you got in late the other night, which is totally fine, of course, but you would tell me if there was something going on, wouldn’t you?

Brooke: Hollis is dead?

Hope: Yes.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Ridge: Are you sure about this?

Hope: Yeah, I just found out.

Brooke: Oh, that’s horrible.

Hope: I feel awful for him and his family.

Ridge: What happened? Are there any details?

Deacon: You know, hollis helped me build this business. Trusted that guy with my life. And I just, um… I don’t know, I– I just can’t imagine running this place without him.

Sheila: You were good to him, deacon. And you were a kind friend, a wonderful boss.

Deacon: He was the best. I mean, that guy was just… the hardest-working, most loyal employee. Then he’S… he’s suddenly gone. What the hell happened?

Finn: I’m gonna find out what’s going on.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Hey, mom. Hey, I got you here with– with steffy on speaker. What-what happened with hollis? What’s-what’s going on?

Li: We still don’t know what caused it, but we’re running labs, including a toxicology test.

Finn: You’re… you’re at the hospital now?

Li: In the morgue.

Finn: Okay, I’ll be right over.

Bill: You seem like you’re carrying a weight on your shoulders, like you’re stressed out, troubled by something.

Poppy: Um, oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize I was coming across that way.

Bill: I hope you’re not having doubts about us. Because we’re together now, a family. And I will always take care of you and luna.

Luna: Mom?

Poppy: Honey, what is it?

Luna: My friend hollis. He’s gone. I’m never gonna see him again. It’s very unusual.

Finn: Well, I wonder

Finn: And here we thought we were gonna have a quiet morning.

Steffy: This is so heartbreaking about hollis. This isn’t gonna sink in.

Finn: Well, I wonder what the autopsy will show.

Steffy: Oh, gosh. I don’t want my brain to just go wild right now, especially if there was some kind of foul play. I mean, it happened at il giardino, finn.

Finn: Well, look, we’re gonna find out some more soon.

Steffy: It’s just so rare for a guy who was so young to just die unexpectedly.

Finn: Yeah, it’s, um… it’s very unusual.

Steffy: Well, if you learn anything, just get back to me, okay?

Finn: Yeah, I’ll keep you posted. I love you.

Steffy: I love you.

Hope: I’m still waiting on more details.

Ridge: More details? We have no details. Did your dad not say anything?

Hope: Well, no, he’s going through a lot right now, and I didn’t want to bombard him with a million questions.

Brooke: It’s just frightening to think how quickly things can change.

Ridge: There you go. Can’t take even a minute for granted.

Brooke: Glad I got to know him, even if it was that small little date.

Ridge: Yeah, just one dinner. But I’m sure you made an impression. How can you not?

Brooke: He was sweet. He was really a nice guy. He was very polite. He was very respectful. He didn’t deserve to die.

Finn: This just doesn’t make any sense. Hollis was fine, and then he just… just keels over.

Sheila: Hey, I know that this is hard to accept.

Finn: I mean, did I miss something? You know, were there… clues pointing to this? I mean, I know we’ve been slammed and everything, you know, with tom, but…

Sheila: Deacon, none of this is your fault.

Finn: None of it’s my fault– I’m the boss, sheila. I run this place. I should be more in touch with my crew. I mean… I should be the guy that they feel like they can come to with any issues. And hollis was… I mean, he was fun, right? But he wasn’t a partier. The guy ate clean. He worked out all the time. I wasn’t aware of any health issues he had. Did you… did you notice anything off about him?

Sheila: No. Just a mystery.

Finn: Two of my employees have died on me recently, and I have no idea what the hell happened.

Luna: I was just with hollis the other night. I mean, we were laughing and joking around.

Bill: Come here. Sorry about your friend.

Luna: It’s just… it’s just not fair. I mean, hollis had his whole life ahead of him, and there was still so much that he wanted to do.

Poppy: I know it’s hard, sweetheart, but your dad and i are here for you, okay?

Bill: Of course we are. Always.

Poppy: And hollis would not want you to be upset.

Bill: I hate to say it, but we might want to stay away from il giardino for a while. They’re having a hell of a run of bad luck.

Finn: Have you spoken with pathology?

Li: Yes. Just waiting for the toxicology report.

Finn: This is just– this is too surreal.

Li: Not fun when you know the deceased personally.

Finn: But he was an active guy with no known medical condition.

Li: Yeah, well, if we learn anything as physicians…

Finn: It’s to never make assumptions, I get that, mom. But you have to admit, I mean, this is an extraordinary case.

Li: Yeah, very shocking.

Finn: You were cheated, hollis, your life was cut way too short.

Li: Goodbye, hollis. I’m sorry for what happened to you. You can feel it,

Hope: Hollis was a big part of my father’s life, and not just in terms of managing the restaurant, but also because he was a positive influence on him. I think he grounded my dad.

Brooke: Deacon was lucky to have him.

Hope: He was always supportive, he was a good friend, and he was part of his accomplishments.

Ridge: I’m so sorry for interrupting you guys. Can we please talk about the giant elephant in the room? Two people died at your dad’s restaurant in just a few weeks.

Steffy: You talking about hollis? Something is up. It’s like first that guy dies, and now hollis at il giardino? There’s no way that this is a coincidence.

Deacon: This just doesn’t make any sense. First tom, then hollis. I wonder who’s next.

Poppy: Okay, well, your aunt li is overseeing the postmortem exam.

Luna: Stop, I don’t wanna hear that. I don’t wanna think about hollis that way.

Poppy: Oh, I’m sorry, baby, but your aunt texted me, and I thought that it would bring you comfort to know that she and finn are with him right now.

Luna: No, this is not normal. None of this is normal. For so many people to be dying in the same place.

Poppy: I know, it’s horrible.

Bill: Um… look… it’s important to let your feelings out, but it’s also important to try and keep some perspective. I mean, these losses are tragic, but maybe we could honor them by being grateful for what we have. Our health, our safety, and… and the love that we have for each other.

Poppy: And it’s important that we count our blessings. And our biggest blessing is you, bill. I adore you. I adore my life here with you and our beautiful daughter. Watching you embrace being luna’s father, accepting us into the spencer family, and welcoming us into this incredible home. It’s a dream come true.

Bill: For me, too.

Poppy: Um… I’m sorry, but, uh… I have to run. Um, there’s some place that I need to be.

Li: Except for minor contusions.

Finn: Well, that was likely caused by hollis collapsing to the ground.

Li: Nothing stands out. Body shows no abnormal signs of trauma.

[Phone chime]

Finn: Yeah, well, I suspect the tox screen will answer a lot of the questions.

Li: Hm, yeah, should be ready soon.

Finn: Until then, the manner of death remains undetermined.

[Phone chime] Hey, you, uh… that’s like the third time your phone went off. You wanna get that?

Li: Nope.

Finn: Are you sure? It sounds important.

Li: Yeah, it’s just your father. He keeps calling and texting me.

Finn: Wait, dad? Why? What does he want?

April: Doctor finnegan.

Both: Yeah.

April: Sorry, finn. Better luck next time. The lab results you requested.

Li: Thanks, april.

April: Sure thing.

Finn: Toxicology report.

Li: Mm-hm. What’s it say?

Steffy: Finn is with li at at the hospital. Li is overseeing hollis’s autopsy.

Hope: So, do you know what happened?

Steffy: I was gonna ask you the same thing.

Brooke: We have no idea.

Ridge: We’re in the dark.

Steffy: This is your father’s restaurant, I thought you’d know something.

Hope: All I know is that hollis has passed away. I don’t know of anyone else who’s gotten hurt.

Steffy: Gotten hurt? So someone did this to him?

Brooke: Not that we’re aware of.

Ridge: It’s very unsettling, all of it.

Hope: I know. Hollis was such a positive man. He was so full of life. Now…

Brooke: We don’t know how something like this could have happened.

Steffy: I have my suspicions.

Hope: What are you implying?

Steffy: Multiple deaths at il giardino. Only one person comes to mind. Sheila.

Sheila: I– I hate seeing you like this. I know it’s weighing heavy on you.

Deacon: You know, hollis was, um… was like a brother to me, brother I never had. And the guy made this place feel like a home. You know, he charmed all the customers, especially the ladies.

[Chuckling] Made strangers feel welcome so they’d want to come back.

Sheila: Well, clearly, the two of you were close, and he loved working here with you.

Deacon: I just– I can’t help but think that… that I’m partially responsible.

Sheila: You? Why?

Deacon: I mean, there should have been signs, right? Was he sick? Was he in trouble? I don’t know.

Sheila: Honey, there is no way to tell what is happening to someone behind closed doors.

Deacon: I know, but if you– if you looked at hollis, I mean, you know, he didn’t seem like he had a care in the world, you know, buzzing around here the way that he did. Tom… he’s such a sweet guy. He helped me save your life. He said he was sober. He– he said he was turning his life around. I mean, how could I be so clueless?

Sheila: Deacon… there’s nothing that you could have done to change any of this. Whatever was going to happen to hollis, it was going to happen anyway.

Deacon: I haven’t had too many friends in my life. Tom and hollis were my friends. I miss them.

Sheila: I know you do. I’m really sorry for your loss.

Bill: How are you feeling?

Luna: I’m really, really sad.

Bill: I know. It’s gonna take some time to heal. We’ll get through it together.

Bill: Any idea where your mom ran off to?

Finn: What does it say?

[Knocking on door]

Poppy: Li? Finn?

Li: Penelope, what are you doing here? I said I’d text–

Poppy: Yeah, I know, I know. But, um… luna is beside herself over the loss of her friend.

Finn: Yeah, we’re all in a state of disbelief.

Poppy: Okay, I am sure, but as a mother, I’m feeling kind of powerless here, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt if I just stopped by and maybe try to get her some answers. Um… do we know how hollis died?

Li: Hollis didn’t die of natural causes.

Poppy: Oh, he didn’t?

Li: No. Finn and I just received the toxicology report. Hollis was drugged. Drugged, poppy. And I know exactly who did it.
