THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Hey, good morning. How you doing? Good. Just working away. What’s. Well, I just wanted to check in, see how you’re doing since our talk last night. I’m fine. Yes. Jada, having your baby is unexpected, but that’s not gonna change anything between us, just like you said. Right? Yeah. And I, I meant, I know.

So she’s really going through with a pregnancy, huh? Of course, she’s, why wouldn’t she? No reason. I, I was just asking. Oh gosh. That’s my, my other line. I gotta run. Okay. I look Nicole.

Oh, hi. To make up for the one we didn’t have yesterday. Oh, thank you so much. Um, that means a lot. I definitely missed this Thanksgiving without dessert. Not the same. . Well, we could, uh, have a slice for breakfast if you haven’t eaten already. Don’t you have to get to work? No, my schedule’s pretty open this morning.

Okay. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Come on in then. So, uh, speaking of work, have you heard from your sister? No. I guess she’s still out of town with Johnny Damara.

Hello El. Anybody home?

Nobody here. Good. We can talk, just start off by saying that we freaking rock Jakarta was a success. Yeah. Things got a little dicey, but we got the information we needed from Dr. Ross. Now we have to decide who to confront with it first. My brother or your dad.

Go away. How? I don’t wanna be the disturbs. This my sleep.

Bloody How? How didn’t you hear me? I said go away.

I am not Harold,

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

Yes, you, uh, you no realize, mum, I’m hallucinating. Uh, I’m seeing things that aren’t there. Just like at the crash site, you aren’t seeing things then just like you’re not seeing things. Now I am real.

And so is this, this, it’s my imagination. I, I, I, I, I hit my head last night. Tony and Chad brought me back here. Yeah, your brothers may have saved you last night, but. You all be so lucky tonight. I have a wait, say hello to your mother in how,

oh, Oh,

I wish we had that damn recording of Ralph admitting that he brainwashed Stephan on my brother’s orders. Yeah, that would definitely make things easier. Yeah, I mean, I, I can’t believe he nuked the tape. That was the hard evidence that we needed. Now my dad’s just gonna, you know, deny any involvement, brother probably will too.

But we know, I mean, we, we know they. And they shipped Ralph out of the country to cover up their tracks, and I still can’t believe my brother would do something so horrible. I mean, I know how much he loves Gabby, but this is way over the line. Look, it’s very possible that the brainwashing was my dad’s idea.

It’s totally his. With Stephan by his side, he’s got all the shares he needs to ous Gabby become c e o again, he’s exactly where he wants to be. Oh, so is my brother. A part of me thinks, just drop it now, let him get married and live happily ever after. But, I can’t do it. I can’t stay silent knowing what I know.

I have to confront him.

Okay. He’s not logged in at work yet. He must be with Gabby Jing went at better show at the office today. If, if she misses one more day of work, I swear it. Ah, relax. Enjoy your breakfast.

Okay.

Oh, hmm. Delicious. You know, when rave tossed the pie in the trash that Nicole made, I thought, man, he must really be done with her. Yeah, I haven’t seen him this Ben outta shape since Sammy cheated on him with ej. Just, I, I don’t get it if all the women in this town just keep stopping all over Brave’s heart.

I thought that Nicole would be different. They were friends before they got married, right? Close friends. I liked her. I liked her for my brother. I even was rooting for them to get back together when he was dating that horrendous mafia Princess. I’m not gonna miss that bitch. No, it’s true though. I’m not, you know?

Yeah. well, I’m sorry for what happened to Rafe. Yeah, me too. I’m just, I’m surprised. You know, who knew that Nicole would hurt my brother worse than Ava? Absolutely. James. I’ll have marketing get that to you today. Okay, bye.

No, not none. Well, well, well look who’s here. Did you get lost on your way to the executives? Huh? You’re very funny. I brought you an almond latte. Oh, thank you. Chloe’s my favorite. Of course. Well, I mean, with your big new job, I’m surprised you had time to stop by. Well, actually, with my big new job at Damer Corporate, um, one of the things I have to do is now oversee basic black.

You got Kristen’s job? Mm-hmm. . And she got my man.

What does a guy have to do to get some breakfast around here? Hello, brother. Hey. What? Cigars? Cigars? Yeah. I hear congratulations are definitely in order. ? Yeah. My mother told you about the baby. No, no, no, no. Nicole. Oh, well hey, she is one of my best friends here. Yeah, of course she is. And I’m glad you two can talk.

I mean, this baby is a blessing, obviously, and mm-hmm. , gosh. I mean it’s uh, it’s very exciting. Yeah. It’s throwing us for a loop a little bit. It clearly complicates your reunion with Nicole. What’s the deal with Jada? I mean, where does that stand? Well, it’s over. I bet Chad has decided to keep the baby, which I’m really happy about.

I mean, we can co. Yeah. Okay. So, um, it’s gonna be you, Nicole, her kid, and Jada plus your kid. Yeah, yeah. . Okay. It’s gonna be a little more complicated than I’m sure you wish, but you and Nicole, you guys will work it out. Yeah.

So you really don’t want me to come with you to confront your brother? I’ll be fine. What if he panics and what hurts me? They would never do that. How can you be so sure after Rolf tried to drug us and Jakarta? Okay. We don’t know if he was ordered to do that. You could have gone rogue. Well, I intend to find out, so why don’t we just both go see my dad first.

Connie, we. That we’d have a better chance of getting information if we split out. Yeah, I know, but stick to the plan. Divide and conquer.

Would you rather have a coffee I a dog and I’m over.

I think I might still be drunk considering the amount of fine single mal put away yesterday. Where was this?

And my mother’s crash site.

Brave was with me for a bit. Took a swig of my flask. If you can leave that and then a bit later on I saw Ava Fatali. Sorry, when I was hallucinating, obviously. Fact, she devil is running hell for what she did to my mother.

I’m so sorry. I can’t begin to imagine the pain that you’re going through right now and just know if there’s anything. That you need. I’m, I’m here. I appreciate your guidance, brother. You and Chloe were there for me tonight. It happened

what night in my life. It was a great comfort. I’m glad. Oh, and uh, please offer my gratitude to Chloe as well. I’ll tell her, see her in a bit. So I’ll let her know. You two seem to be getting closer.

We are. God, you must be seating. Oh. Just finding any opportunity to throw her wedding blands in my face. Is that right? It’s one pathetic attempt after another to make me jealous. You know, I wish she would just stop wasting her energy and get it into her head that Chloe is the only woman in my mind.

I know this situation with Brady Suck. But imagine the look on Kristen’s face when she finds out that you’re still part of Basic Black. I mean, that’s a little consolation, isn’t it? Yeah, I know right? . Uh, but Brady insists that he thinks that Kristen put Lee up to offering me this promotion. What do you think?

Well, I was just more curious if Stephan had anything to do with it. But I asked Lee and he insists that it was up to him and ej. Hmm. And what about Kristen? Apparently Kristen no longer works at Dera, so to prove that I was given oversight of basic Black. But you’re still suspicious of Kristen Always. I still can’t believe Brady broke up with you and moved Kristen into his home.

Mm. He thinks that’s what’s best for Rachel. So living under the same roof as a total lunatic. Well, that total lunatic happens to be Rachel’s mom. Listen, Brady has clearly moved on and so have I. You know how those two raised their child? It’s. It’s no longer my concern.

We do realize that Jada and I are not the first former couple to give co-parenting a shot. I know that. Mm-hmm. , look at us. We come from the most successful blended family. I know. Exactly. You know, and I don’t care about half or step. I justm really blessed to have you all in my life. We got emerging families, you know, you know, raising a kid with an ex, you know, it’s not for.

As a matter of fact, sometimes frankly it can just not make any sense at all. Yeah. Like you and Kristen,

if, I don’t know why I have to keep saying this, but I will. The only reason I moved Kristen in is because it’s what’s best for our daughter, and you’re honestly telling me that there’s no better options than moving Kristen under the same roof as our. What would you have me do? I know. I know. I’ll move ’em all into granddad’s house.

If Kristen could have another stab at it, of course, because I’d prefer that than her going after my mom again, listen, Hey, you don’t have to worry about your mother because I’m gluing everything in my power to make sure that Kristen doesn’t hurt. Marlena. Hear me? Okay. But anyway, , we shouldn’t even be talking about me.

We should be talking about you. You’re gonna be a father . You know how much is, this is gonna change your life, man. Yes, I know. I’m scared, but I’m happy and be honest. I can’t stop thinking about it. You know, just the idea. Hold little baby boy or even a baby girl, and I know. Under the circumstances sits a little crazy, obviously, but I’m really happy Brady

Do you think maybe you and s Stephan are moving a little fast? Who are you? My mother . She asked me the same thing actually, but in her defense, she’s Team Brady all the way. Mm. That makes two of us. Mm. Well, you’re gonna have to get off of it. Okay. Cause I’m not gonna sit here and pine after some dude who’s insisting on playing house with a bride of Chucky

You know what? S Stephan and I, we like each other and we’re excited to see where things go. Okay. Well if that’s the case, then I am happy for you. Thank you. Well, it looks like we’re both starting new chapters in our lives. You’re dating Stephan and I got back together with Eric. I’m sorry, what?

So Nicole’s leaving rave to go back to our ex-husband. Not surprising, Eric’s the love of her life, but. Their marriage was over and done with a long time ago. No. Why would you wanna go backwards? Rehash relationship that’s already run its course, especially when she’s made a commitment to someone else.

Are we still talking about my brother or are we talking about you, me and Stephan

to answer my question. Okay, fine. Yeah. I can’t help but see the parallel. Nicole couldn’t stop obsessing over her ex after he got back either. Come on. Okay. They are nothing alike. Eric came back to town. Stephen came back from the dead. Okay. And and you think I’m obsessing? I mean, once I got over the shock that Stefan was alive and not interested in me, I moved on with you.

Come here. Look, trust me, I’m, I am not gonna make the same mistake that Nicole is making. Seven is my past and you are my future.

Okay. I, um, still have some extra time before I have to go back to work. Uh, wanna show me your childhood bedroom? Although I’m not allowed to have boys in there, you know, it’s no one’s homes, so maybe.

Hold. Hold that thought. Hold on,

J Wayne, you’re back. Oh, I might find you here. Is everything okay? I need to talk to my brother. It’s important.

The more time Chloe and I spend together telling you the better it gets.

I see a real future with her and I think she feels the same way,

which is wonderful to hear. Stephan, I’m glad someone in his family has finally found happiness again. Hmm. She does make me happy. You know, she’s a strong, independent woman, which I love, but she’s also very kind and compassionate as you saw firsthand, which is a huge improvement over that. Dreadful Gabby Hernandez.

Hmm. When I think about the lengths that conniving Snake went to, to retain control of father’s company, I just, and just how far would you go for control?

Well, dad, aren’t you gonna answer my question?

Wendy, would you like some pie? I’m not hungry. Let me guess. You ate on the plan. I really need to talk to you alone. You’re being very rude, Lee. That’s fine. No, it’s not. Okay. This is Gabby’s home. You come in here unannounced, barely even say hello and ask her to leave Gabby, I’m sorry. This is really important and you can’t wait say bitching one.

Gabby already knows everything she does. Oh yes. I told her exactly what you and Johnny Deir have been up to.

Joey. Thank God you were here, son. I’ve been trying to reach you for days. Is that right? Yes. I, uh, I have something I need to tell you. Interesting. I have something I need to tell you too, dad. You’ll need to wait. This is, this is important. And what I’m going to give you two, some privacy. Uncle Stephan, don’t feel like you have to leave because of me.

It’s, it’s best we talk. Ste. Thank you for your understanding. Of course.

You sure we’re in a hurry to, uh, get Stefan out of there. Why was that something you don’t want your brother to know? Stefan already knows, and now unfortunately, I have to tell you. Okay, fine. Fine. What is it? What’s, what’s so important? I’m afraid I have some distressing use. About your grandma Susan.

Grandma Susan. What? She okay.

Your grandmother is dead.

So how was Nicole when you. A little on edge. She told me that when you told her that Jada was pregnant, she stormed off and the two of you hadn’t spoken since. I assume that’s changed. I just spoke to her on the phone and, you know, I just was following up for our conversation last night after I told her that Jada decided to have the baby.

Mm-hmm. , I, how’d she take it? I, I assured her that nothing’s gonna change between, Jada and I are going to be sharing a baby together, but she is the woman that I love, that I want to be with. I’ll always have my heart. So you ended your marriage with Rafe and decided to get back together with Eric? Well, not exactly in that order.

You know, you. Telling me from us that I either need to commit to my marriage or end it. And, and I tried to commit Chloe. I really did. Oh, honey, I’m not judging you. Trust me. It’s just that when, when Eric came back into town, so did our connection. I don’t think it ever left, but I was with Rave. I really messed up.

Instead of being brave and honest, I was a coward. and I knew I was still in love with Eric and a married Rafe anyway. And now he’s, he’s hurt and he’s humiliated and beyond angry and, and he has every right to be. Well, you didn’t exactly set out to hurt Rafe, and you know Eric didn’t set out to hurt Jada, but at least they’re not married.

So that breakup will be a lot easier. Not necessarily. What does that mean? Jada’s pregnant. Oh my God, seriously? Yeah, so I’m not such a clean break. Oh wow. Is she keeping the baby? I think so. However, I am. I might have advised her not to.

You told Jada to have an abortion. ? No, of course not. I would never do that. Then what exactly did you say? Well, I just pointed out that motherhood is a full-time job and being tied to a man who’s in love with someone else is really difficult. Former couples raise kids all the time, but it’s not easy. I didn’t say that, but it is possible.

Well, just because it’s possible doesn’t mean you should. and you felt like it was your place to inform Jada of this? Well, if I were in her shoes, I would want someone to inform me to be straight with me, that having kids in some temporary arrangement that you could just bail on when things get hard, you are in this for the rest of your life.

Yeah, but it’s, it’s not your life, Nicole. It’s Jada. I know I was just trying to help and encourage her to decide if this is something that she really wants. Okay, so no agenda, you’re just offering her some food for thought. Oh, come on Chloe. We both know how hard it is to be single mothers juggling a child and a career and, and Jada may have to deal with the stress of co-parenting with a man who broke up with her to be with a woman that she can’t.

People make it work. I know, but damn it, Chloe, I will not lose Eric again. So that’s what this is. We’re afraid that that baby’s gonna threaten your relationship with Eric.

Wouldn’t you be? I mean, look how Kristen used Rachel to come between you and Brady. Jada’s. No, Kristen. I know. Fuck God. I’m sorry. It’s just that Eric and I have been through so much and we finally got back together again. Yeah. But when he found out about the baby, he didn’t decide to stay with Jada. Right.

And I’m pretty sure that’s what she wants as well. Assuming she knows how he feels about you. Yeah, Jay did say that she wasn’t gonna fight for this relationship. Eric said, this baby isn’t gonna change anything between us, and I wanna believe that I really do. I wanna be secure about me and us, and that nothing is gonna come between us again.

But you know what? No matter what Eric promises or no matter. How he intends for this to go. The truth is, it’s when that baby is born, Jada and Eric are gonna fall in love with it. Yeah. But. Not with each other. Eric loves you. He always has, and he always will.

Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have said anything to Jada.

You know, the thing is, given the circumstances, I just think it’s best for everyone. If there’s no baby,

you and Nicole, you’ll figure this out. You’ll work it out. You always do. Yeah. I know Nicole and I can be together, and Jayden and I, we can co-parent. We can all raise a healthy, happy child who’s part of a family who’s gonna love him or her. Uncon conditioned. Absolutely. And here’s the baby mama right now.

Mike. Oh, hey Jada. Hey, you and my brother Brady. Uh, yeah. Nice to see you again. Nice to see you as well. And congratulations. Um, My daughter Rachel, by the way, can’t wait to meet her new cousin. I plan to be a very doty uncle. So if you need anything, uh, after the birth, before the birth, uh, after the baby’s not a baby and it’s driving you bananas, just gimme a call.

I’m your guy. Okay, thanks. Sure. Uh, Eric, can I talk to you? Uh, yeah, of course. Okay. Uh, that’s my cue. Um, congratulations again and um, I will talk to you soon. Yeah.

Oh, Brady’s obviously very excited. It’s fine. So what do you wanna talk about? Is everything okay?

Okay, sir. Uh, I, I, uh, I, I, I just, I, I can’t believe Grandma Susan’s dead. She’s dead. It’s inconceivable. Anna know. Uh, have you, have you told Sydnee? I am. I called her a school this morning, needless to say, a little sister. How did this happen?

Mother was kidnapped and held for ransom. I managed to, I managed to track down the purpose, and we agreed to meet at the airfield where I would wire her ransom money and she would release your grandmother. But as soon as the transfer went through, she turn the tables on me. How? How she grabbed Susan, dragged her off by gunpoint and threw in the car.

I, of course gave Chase, and she, she, she drove off the road. You keep saying she, she, it’s a, it’s a woman. A woman who did this. Who? That’s right. Who, who was it? It was Ava Vital.

You seem surpris. I am. I didn’t think you’d want Gabby to know about this. Well, my fiance and I have no secrets. I told her what you were up to the minute I found out you did. Yes. So what do you have to say for yourself?

Lee don’t, don’t be so hard on your sister. So she played okay with the A boy. It’s no big deal. No big deal. She begs me for a promotion, finally gets one, and before HR even finishes processing the paperwork takes off from parts unknown with Johnny Damara on the company Jet. Hey, listen, you said you weren’t gonna overreact, okay?

What you did was outrageous, disrespectful, and in incredibly irresponsible pretending you’re telecommuting, ignoring my calls, blowing off your new jobu. When? How could you, I had a very good reason. Oh, well, this ought to be memorable. You’re certain the drug will only erase their. It won’t hurt them.

Okay, then do it. Ralph, the minister, the drug.

Go ahead, tell us your. Good reason for gallivanting to end Indonesia with that ditton playboy. And why shouldn’t fire you on the spot? Wait, calm down. Calm down. Father is gonna go ballistic when he hears about this. You know, I’m, I’m gonna, I’m gonna head out to the square. I’m gonna get some of that nice relaxing herbal tea that you like so much.

And, uh, at the time I get back, hopefully things will be straightened up.

You know what? I know you and Gabby have this girl power thing going, but if you think she can save you from what you have coming, oh, I’m not the one who needs to be worried about what’s coming. What are you talking about Gabby? Stephan and what they’re going to do when they find out what you did to keep them apart.

Sova did. Yeah. It’s terrible. Why? Why would she, why would she even want to kidnap grandma? Who knows what motivated that woman to do anything. She was psychotic

damage on Roman. I tried to warn you. What are you trying to say? This is my fault. You knew she was in the mafia? Yeah. She left that behind her. Apparently not. Apparently she was more than capable of committing vicious, violent, homicidal acts.

But how would you know that you would take it that far? No, no.

I, I was, uh, I was stubborn. I was stupid. And even after she defrauded our family, I. I still wouldn’t listen, and you vanished her from Salem to protect me, and I fought you on it. I defended her, and then she kidnapped my grandma. That had nothing to do with you. It was all about getting revenge on me. Had nothing to do with you if I hadn’t gotten involved with they in the first place.

It’s just none of this. None of this would’ve, uh, none of it would’ve happy make. Son, look at me. Look at me. This is not your fault.

I am so sorry. Thank you. I’m sorry. Thank you.

Your grandmother was a very special person and we will find a special way to honor.

All the things that she did to make our lives better.

Yeah. She, uh, man, that, uh, that gift to hers was, uh, something, uh, something special. Yeah. Yeah. She was the first person who realized I was possessed. The devil raised our memory.

Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like you wanted Dr. Roth to do to me and Jakarta.

Wow. Gorgeous. You and Eric are literally the perfect couple. Well, I mean, I guess these pictures turned out pretty well. Pretty well, they’re amazing. Bella Magazine is gonna sell out at the stands and it’s gonna break the internet. . Okay? You’ve been spending way too much time with Alex Kriyas. , what’s this?

It’s a man moving in on my woman. You’re a woman. What century are you in? Apologies to my strong, independent, consensual companion. Ah, that’s more like it. Uh, how’d you know I was here? Your assistant? Are you too busy to let me take you to breakfast? Mm. I might be able to squeeze you in Uhhuh, . All right, Nicole, you wanna join?

Oh. Oh, no thanks. You, you too. Go. Are you sure? Uh, yeah, I, uh, I have a lot of work to catch up on. Okay, well I love you. I’ll call you later. Love you. Bye bye.

How to get back to leave before he goes nuclear and his sister.

So how’s PJ doing? Not well. He got drunk yesterday at the site where his mother was killed. Thought he saw Ava. Oh, well I heard no one could have survived that. No, he did say he thought he was hallucinating. Mm. Poor guy. Johnny was with him when I left the house, and Johnny had just gotten back from a trip overseas.

Mm-hmm. . Well, hopefully it was a big comfort to him to have his son nearby. Hope you’re right. I tell you, your grandmother died in a horrific crash, and you take that as an opportunity to hold ridiculous accusations against me. I’m sorry about grandma. Look, I, I, I’m, I’m more than sorry. I’m in shock, but that still doesn’t change what you tried to do to me and.

Wendy, Wendy Lee, sister, what the hell does she have to do with this? She came with me to Jakarta. We went there together to track down Dr. Roth, and guess what? We found him and we know everything. What is it you think you know? And you told Dr. Roth to inject us with some kind of memory erasing drug, but he didn’t cuz we stopped him.

Are you sure you didn’t take any drugs in Indonesia? Because that sounds preposterous. It’s. Okay, you can stop pretending because we know what you tried to do to Uncle Stephan.

You sure you’re feeling okay? Jet lag can cause confusion. You did it didn’t you? Did what? Ordered Dr. Rolf to inject me and Johnny with a memory erasing drug.

Do you hear yourself? That ? That’s absurd. Oh yeah. Almost as absurd as you telling Rolf to brainwash Stephan the Marin to hating Gabby so you could have her for yourself. Yeah, that’s right brother. Despite your best efforts, Johnny and I still remember everything Ralph told us. And from the look on your face, it’s clear he was telling the truth.

I thought I’d find you . Well, where else would I be? I don’t have a home and that’s no one’s fault but my own. Your home is with Eric? Yeah, sure. Right next door to his baby mama. I know that that can be awkward. Have you talked to him? Yeah, I just came from the pub and, and, and he, uh, loves you more than anything in the.

And he is over the moon that you two are back together and he’s also over the moon. That Jada’s keeping the baby Nicole. He is looking forward to becoming a father. I know that’s hard for you. It’s reality. I guess. It’s something that I have to get used to.

So decaf is supposedly better for the baby. Eric, I went a little nuts and I went online and I bought six books and I wanna know everything that I can. Things they’ve been a little complicated and I wanted to tell you again how excited I am that you decided to keep this baby because there’s nothing I wanted more than to be a good father, Eric.

Stop. You need to listen to me. There is no baby.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

. Hello. I, I thought that you were having Thanksgiving in New York with, uh, Chad and the children. I was. Jennifer’s brother, Mike and Nancy Miller had us all over for dinner. Nancy Miller, uh, Craig’s ex-wife. That’s right. Apparently she and Mike are seeing each other now, and that’s a good thing. Well, Mike’s a good guy.

Certainly a step up from Clyde Weston. But then it wouldn’t be.

I’m glad that you were able to be with family today. I imagine that the holidays have been especially painful this year. That’s why I decided to come back to work, see what’s going on at The Spectator. Checking up on me. Are you? You are working away. When I came in, big story. Could be you snapped that laptop shot as soon as you saw me, almost like you didn’t want me to see what you were writing.

You’re joking, right? No, this is a serious question. Did you kidnap Bonnie and Susan?

Oh, aj, it’s me again. Listen, will you call me back when you get this? I know you wanna be alone, but I’m just worried about you. I just hope you’re not doing anything. Oh, I hear the door. Maybe that’s you. Oh, Chad. Sorry. Disappoint. I know. Not at all. I was just happy you were Hij. I’m just worried about him.

Mother. Is that you?

Do you need any holler? It’s not your mother you dumb clock.

Yes, again.

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

The article’s about pulling a price. The governor elect’s daughter has been charged with murder. Every news organization in the country is covering this. Would you rather The Spectator didn’t? Are you kidding? It’s happening right here in Salem. You have access to the inside story. You can scoop every newspaper in the country.

I’m hardly what you’d call a seasoned reporter. Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you afraid that you are not up to writing this story? Is that why you wouldn’t let me look at your draft? No, I mean, . Yes. I mean, there’s something more too. What are you not telling me? Chad doesn’t want me to write about Paulina and Chanel.

Chad, Chad has no business telling you what to write or not to write. I I’ll take care of this right now. Please. Yeah, there’s, there’s, there’s more. Okay. I’ve told Chad that I would do what he wants.

So how come you dropped by, I thought you were gonna spend the holiday in new. Uh, I was, and actually Thomas and Charlotte are still there. Jennifer promised to take ’em for all the holiday fun they can handle. Sir, you didn’t want to join them? I did, but I figured I should come and check on ej. I heard what happened to Susan.

You think I kidnapped two women? Well, I remember what you told me after you quit your job. That your boss wanted you to do something illegal and you decided that meant kidnapping. Yeah. Well, you wouldn’t tell me what she asked you to do, and when I tried to press you on it, you gave me a very vague answer, baby, I know you.

I know that you’re holding something back and it’s big. When you came into the room, when I was watching that news report about the kidnapping, I saw the look on your face. I know Susan Bonnie. I was. What’s your boss ask you to do? I told you Rednecks, who’s a small drug company, right? Whether had to bring a new painkiller to market and they’re gonna claim that it’s not addictive, but it’s a lie.

I don’t wanna be a part of an operation like that. Well, you didn’t tell me that. I mean, my God’s did. Or I’m a doctor. That company has to be stopped. Well, I need you’d say that, which is why I didn’t tell you. But if they’re trying to get people addictive, she dunno who my boss is, what she does to people that crossing.

And you do how her talk. Hmm. That doesn’t sound like an executive of a drug company. That sounds like Ava Vitali.

Are you really here or am I that drunk? Of course I’m here. Did you think you could get rid of me that easily? So you are really here, but your, your car went off the embankment. The petrol tank exploded. A fireman told me that no one could make it our alive. Huh? Well then I guess that means I’m dead.

Yeah. It’s not that bad. Actually. Maybe you’d like to join me.

I can’t believe that Chad would ask you to bury a story this big, and I can’t believe that you would agree to do it. Yeah, well that’s because my main source is my dodgy ex former lawyer, Sloane Peterson. She said she had all the dirt on Chanel’s arrest, and she promised me an exclusive. And did she deliver?

I’ll say she showed me all the evidence that she sent over to the DA, and it looks pretty damning. But Chad said, if I do not fact check every word that Sloan gave, The spectator could be open to a liable suit and it could be put out of business. So you decided not to print it? Well, not exactly. I’m still in the process of getting it vetted.

See, the thing is, I, I don’t wanna cost the, the spectator this exclusive story of the year, but then I don’t wanna put my byline on on something that could be a lie. So, Tell me what should I do?

I don’t know about you, but these chairs I don’t think are very comfortable. I’m lucky for us, this is a very big house with a whole lot of rooms, and a lot of those rooms do have beds in them. So , I really appreciate your attempt at Sty. Is that a. You are impossible.

Oh, sorry. Hey, I didn’t know the two of you were in here. , Maggie. Hi. Happy Thanksgiving. Oh, it’s so good to see you too. So good. We’re just having a little Thanksgiving dinner. Again. Yeah. Hey, my parents are in Seattle with Trip and Joey, so Alex invited me over to Share Your Leftovers. Oh. Trip. He must be having a miserable holiday after what happened with Ava.

Yeah. That’s why mom and dad stayed out there. Yeah. You know, it must be so hard trying to be a good son to a mother like her. I still can’t believe what she did. Yeah. Or Susan Banks. She was such an innocent, she, she shouldn’t have died the way she did. I can’t help wondering if it was all a terrible accident or if Ava drove her car off of that embankment on purpose.

What do you think you’re doing? Boy, you must be loaded. Thought it was fairly obvious. Oh, but for all you know. I’m not really here. I’m just your version of a pink elephant hurt. You calling for your mommy feeling a little guilty. Are you suggesting that you are my conscience? Well, you are the reason all this happened.

You could have just given me the money and taken your mother home, but no, no. You had to prove that you were smarter than me, that you were better than me. And so what did you do? You took. The only son that I had left and kidnapped him didn’t really work out the way you planned, did it? No, because my boy is alive and well.

And your mother, what’s left of her? That’s right. She’s down there. How do I know about for sure? Anina. What? For sure. You’re forgetting one very important detail. I don’t have a conscience. So you are here in the flesh and you made it out of that crash alive. So perhaps my mother did too.

How’s EJ doing? This is probably a stupid question. I’m sure he is devastated. He is. He blames himself. Assistance Jeff. Now he’s convinced himself that he deserves to suffer because of it. Well, he didn’t prove that Ava’s marriage to Jake was a fraud and force her out of. Although I can’t imagine he expected her to retaliate like that.

Well, actually, actually what? I’m afraid that’s not all he did

you think I’d work for the likes of Rav retaliate? I don’t think that you would want to, but you were so desperate to make money and get us out of here. And the more I started to think about that, the more things started to add up, we’ll sings. Okay. Bonnie said that the guy who grabbed her was wearing a blue suit.

You have a blue suit. I love blokes too. She said that she could tell that there were major muscles under that suit. A lot of OC are well built. My mom said that the kidnapper texted her from Bonnie’s phone saying not to worry because she’d be with Mimi. Do a lot of blokes know Bonnie’s life so well that they can mention her daughter by name?

Would a lot of blokes know how to keep two women prisoner in the kiya as shed because they used to work there as the gardener. He, my wife, are the da. I am the wife who loves you and doesn’t want to believe that you did this even though a lot of the pieces fit. Sandra, if you had something to do with this, you have to tell me now.

EJ kidnapped Trip Johnson? Not personally, but he gave the order. Well, I don’t think he intended to harm the young man. I just think he just wanted to be able to trade him for Susan. Oh yeah. That makes it better. Well, let me guess. He, he, he, he figured that if he just kidnapped the poor kid, he could save himself 30 million bucks.

Well, that was only part of the reason. I think he did it primarily for, for leverage. What Leverage well, can, can, victims are killed sometimes, but mu ransom is paid. But you know that I think he was just trying to keep his mother alive. Yeah, I guess I can see that. Listen, I devoted this to you because you’re my brother and I trust.

But there’s one thing that troubles me. You work with Trip sister Stephanie? I don’t work with her. I work for her. But you do consider her as a friend? Yeah. So, so I need you to tell me that you won’t tell her that EJ had anything to do with her brother’s kidnapping. Both of our families have been through a real ordeal.

Thank God. Tripp is safe and Bonnie’s gonna be okay. Yes, she will be. Eventually, what does that mean? I told you she wasn’t in great shape at dinner. Yeah. You know, it’s, it’s hard to recover from being afraid for your life, but she will get better once they catch that clown that did that to her. Right

on. Maggie, do you know something about this guy? I just left Sarah and, uh, she has a theory about what happened. It sounded kind of farfetched to me. Hmm. Can you tell us what she said?

You have to keep it to yourself. We will.

Well, she’s afraid that the man in the clown mask. Might have been zander.

I can appreciate that You want to make the most ethically sound decision. Well, you know, I don’t really have a reputation for truth telling. We both know that, and if any report is gonna be accused of slander, it’s. . So you have to be careful with what you write, but you have been, well, that’s only cause I have you teaching me and backing me up.

Look, the public is a right to know what’s going on in Paulina’s life. So you think I should ignore what Chad wants? Chad is a good guy, but look, he’s working for a Pauline’s PR team. He may have been doing her bidding when he asked you to bury the story. Yeah, I know. I thought of that too, but, I just don’t wanna hurt or upset him anymore than I have.

Look, journalists and PR teams have been fighting since the beginning. I’m telling you right now, you’re gonna have to make a judgment call. Yeah, judgment isn’t really my best event.

The past I would agree,

but I can appreciate. The hard work that you’ve been putting in and how determined you are to be a good reporter really, really makes me feel better about not hiring Xander.

Will you please say something, Sarah? I just feel, I dunno if so hurts because of me. What? I said, look, I went out and I got what I thought was a good job so. Pay off all our debts and moves into a real home. And you said you believed in me. You have no idea what that meant to me. That, that you think I’m a changed man now?

Seems like you think I did something that, but led to two women getting killed. I didn’t want to say that. I just felt like I had to because of a blue suit and some muscles. No, it was more than that. That company that you said you worked for, redneck Victor said he’d never heard of it. I told you it’s a startup one that’s about to market a new pain medication according to you.

So there shouldn’t be any problem looking it up, right? He talking. Well, it’s had to have been around long enough to have a website. Oh, so my, so my word’s not good. You’re seriously gonna look it up. What’s wrong with that? Fine. If you don’t believe me. Go ahead.

Oh, Susan is definitely dead. And you are the soul of honesty. I made sure of it. You wore. Who do you think yanked the steering wheel and drove us off the cliff? He deliberately did that. Of course I did. It was the only way to get even with you. God, I actually believed.

Actually believe that you just ran off the road. Come on. We both know that 30 million didn’t mean anything to you. I wanted to cause you the maximum amount of pain and suffering,

and I realized I could do that with one hard turn to the right.

So you can go ahead, search all you want, search through the brush, search through the wreckage. You’re never gonna find her. So how are you alive? Because I jumped out of the car before it rolled into the embankment. Susan,

Susan was definitely in it when it blew up.

Your mommy is dead

and now it’s your turn.

You are glad you didn’t hire Xander for the job. What does that mean? Xander asked me for a job at The Spectator when, right after your accident, Y I was in the hospital waiting for you to be discharged, and Xander came up and asked me right there. I had no idea. I had just offered you the job. I knew how you still felt about Xander, so I decided right then and there, it was not a good idea for the two of you to be working closely together.

And so you turned him down. I turned him down, and now you seem to be thriving at the Spectator, so I could see it was a good idea. It is a good idea for the two of you to keep a great deal of distance from each other. Uh, actually we haven’t been doing that.

Look, Sarah and um, I. The company’s website, it’s right here.

You think I would rat out my own brother? So after what happened to Abi Girl getting that so far-fetched? No. But then Clyde Wesson tried to kill me. EJ showed up and he saved my life. Not to mention he just lost his mother and I know how much he loved her. I’m not gonna play along, so you won’t say anything to Stephanie.

Thank you. I’m worry about ej. Carol tells me that he’s been gone for hours. God knows where he is ended up. Don’t worry, ej, I’m about to put you outta your misery.

You and Xander have been seeing each other? No. No. Nothing like that. I mean, we’ve just, just been bumping into each other every now and then. I’m, it was a bit awkward at first. I can imagine. But now I’m just glad I, I, I think we can be friends. Are you being straight with me? Yeah. I, I, I, I just saw him the other day actually, and he told me about his new job.

I told him about my job, you know, like that just, it’s all friendly. Honestly, I’m just glad that he doesn’t hate me anymore. Are you sure that that’s all it is? Because I remember how in love with him, you.

And now he’s married to Sarah. I don’t wanna see you hurt anymore. I appreciate that. But really this has all just forced me to take a really hard look at the reality of my life. And the reality is that sand doesn’t love me. He loves Sarah and he’s very committed to their life together, and he’s happy. So I’m happy.

Because he is my friend now and I want, I want what’s best for him.

Oh, God. I, I don’t, I don’t know what to say. I. I mean, I should have known that you wouldn’t make up some complicated lie about where you were working, and I can’t believe that I accused you of kidnapping Bonnie and Susan. What is wrong with me? Nothing, absolutely nothing wrong. You’re perfect. You swore that you would never go back to the life that you were living before and I didn’t believe you.

I’m so sorry. You have nothing to apologize.

I mean, look, there’s even a posting for your job. There it, yeah, right here. Vice president in charge of sales. Wasted no time putting that up. Yeah. Would they must have realized what a loss you were. My mom even told me that. You taught this out with Maggie? Yeah. Well, and I’m gonna call her and tell her what a huge mistake I made.

I’m, you ever forgive me.

You and I better try to find dj. Any ideas where to start? Yes. as good as any, oh, it’s. Hello? Hey, this is Tony. Yes. Chat now. We’re just gonna go out to find him. You did where? Thank you. We’ll be right there. Pray knows where he is. Okay. This seems to be drowning his horn, neither our site. You know where that is.

Right, right, right. Let’s go.

I am glad that you and Zander have gotten to a good place. Didn’t see that coming, did you?

I’m proud of you.

I didn’t expect to hear those words from you ever again.

You’ve earned it. So, uh, why don’t we see what you’ve got from Sloan. Give me all the words and we’ll see if we can come up with a slap for your story. Well, right now. Yeah, sure. What star Thanksgiving.

I, I think it would feel good to be advising a daughter mine again. Oh, Chuck,

why don’t you call me dad and, uh, not just occasionally,

I’m gonna get my things. Take him upstairs, get unpacked. We’ll get down here. We’re good to work. Okay. How can I have him repay you?

Make me a Turkey sandwich.

Sarah really thinks that Xander kidnapped Susan and Bonnie. You have to keep this quiet, Alex, if Victor finds out, I just don’t know what he’ll do. I mean so much for this new leaf that Xander supposedly turned over. From what you’ve told us, Sarah doesn’t have much to go on. Maybe she. Overreacting. That’s what I said.

I, I mean, this guy would’ve to be out of his mind to do something like that to dad’s wife. I mean, Xander’s a member of the family. Yes. But he’s desperate to get his hands on some money. But he has to know how Sarah would feel if he committed a crime to get it. Sarah, I know would be done with him, and it seems to me that he really does love her.

Oh, he does. That’s why I don’t see how he would jeopardize what they have together, not after everything they’ve been through with Kristen and Gwe.

Darling night, I don’t blame you for being suspicious, given the life I’ve led. That was years ago. I should have known that you wouldn’t do something like that. Yeah, I made you feel terrible. Must survive. I dunno what to. Let’s not talk about it. Why don’t we, uh, just scoff down the, or the leftovers, your mum over.

Yeah, that sounds like a plan. I have so much thankful for. We both do.

Hey,

there’s nothing left in this fast.

Oh, my head is sw. Ah yeah. Hey, hey. Ava. Ava, she was here. Djj. That’s not possible. She had a gun. I tried to take it from her and I fell okay. I thought, I thought she was gonna kill me. Listen you, you drank a boat load. Sure. You really saw her. I’m telling you, she was here. She pointed a gun at me. If she was here and she meant to kill you, stopped her.

We gotta get into the hospital. No, I’m not going to any hospital. Listen, you fell down, you hit your head, you were unconscious. That cut. Bear cut’s gonna need stitches. Don’t you understand? I fell when I was fighting aver and she got away. We need to find her. Okay? You too. You have to be quiet about what Sarah said to me now.

Mm-hmm. . You bet. Okay. Well, I’m gonna check on Victor and make sure he, he isn’t raiding the fridge. It gives him indigestion. Oh yes, you too. Night, Maggie. Good night.

Now what were we talking about right before Maggie showed up? Oh, I remember. I remember. Slow down tiger. Why? I think. It is a good thing that Maggie showed up when she did. You weren’t having a good time. Oh, I was having a good time. And what’s the problem? I, I just, I just have this feeling that even I should take things one step at a time.

I hate doing that. I know. But think about how much we’ll both be looking forward to our next date. So there’s gonna be a next date. Mm-hmm. . I think the odds are excellent. Well then in that case,

may I walk you out? I would like that.

Thank you.

My mom’s outta everything. It’s even a bottle of wine in here. Ooh, this is the good stuff. Hmm. It needs to be chilled. Yeah. You think so? Hmm, definitely. Maybe the, uh, ice machine is working today. Oh. We can only help. I will find a cork screw, um, here.

I ever think that he would make up an entire company.

Thank God he’s so understanding.

You are phoning me on Thanksgiving. You wouldn’t believe what just happened. Tell me. Well, I got back to our room and Sarah accused me of being behind the kidnapping. Why? She figured out the whole thing. I, for God’s sake, what did you do? I stood there like a fool and tried to deny it. So are you in trouble?

No, because Sarah decided to prove that Rednecks was a fake company by looking for a website, and she found one. How did you know that? Because I built it and I put it online. I’ve never done one before, so it’s a bit simplistic, but um, I thought it would. Doing a pinch. Oh my God, you saved my. I dunno to thank you.

It’s no need to thank me. That’s what friends are for. You don’t believe me? You don’t think she was Willy here? I’m sure she seemed real to you. I talk to me. That rubbish. She hates you. You passed out on the ground. Why didn’t she finish you off? I, I can’t answer that. Okay. Okay. Let’s go. Let’s go.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Thought I might find you here.

Happy Thanksgiving, honey. Same to you. Mom.

Come in. Thank you.

Is that new? Oh no, that was, uh, that was a, a gift from Susan Banks. I was, I was just thinking about her. I heard the news and I’m sorry. I know you two were close. Well, I’m sorry that I couldn’t host today. I just didn’t really feel like it. But did you have a nice time at the pub? I did. . And I wanted to share some news that I’m very thankful for.

Oh, I’m gonna be a dad.

If you’re looking for Eric, he’s out. Actually, uh, I came here to see you

Leftovers for you and Zander. Thank you, mom. I was hoping you would join us for dinner. Yes. So was I, but Xander wasn’t feeling well. I thought he might rally, but he stayed in bed all day. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Um, so where is he?

Here you are. You sure we’re right? Yes. I told you Jack in New York with Jennifer and Chad’s taken the children out there to be with them for the holiday from the old bat and her husband have been asleep for hours.

God, you look terrible. I feel terrible. Look quite, I dunno what I’m gonna do. I feel like my whole life is gonna go up and smoke. Okay. Look, we’ll just let’s calm down and, and just tell me the whole story. Yeah.

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

Eric, I know how much you’ve always wanted a child of your own. It’s just, it’s wonderful news. I heard that you heard what? The hesitation No, I, I wasn’t. I, I didn’t. It’s okay. . I know what you’re thinking. Really? What am I thinking? Jada and I hardly know each other, and it probably wasn’t planned, which is all true.

But she did decide to keep the baby. Oh, and And you’re fine with that decision. It is complicated, but, but Kate of all people helped her with her decision and, uh, not that I know what Kate said to her. Okay. But, uh, uh, darling, you said it was complicated. What does that mean because of Nicole?

It’s been a long day, Nicole, and I’m pretty tired, so Yeah, of course. You’re tired. You’re, you’re in your first trimester and not to mention the triptofen. It looks like you were really having a nice Thanksgiving dinner. How would you know that? I stopped by earlier and I saw y’all sitting around the table sharing what you were grateful for, and I couldn’t help.

But over here at Eric say that you two were gonna raise the baby together. So if you were there, why didn’t you say anything? I didn’t wanna interrupt. So you just left. Well, I, I was afraid that I would spoil the heartwarming moment by bringing up the fact that Eric broke up with you a few days ago to be with me.

I went by your place, Steph said you’d gone out. Since you’ve been ignoring my calls, I figured I’d try and track you down. Well done Hernandez, putting those crack detective skills to work

I’m gonna need that statement about how my mother and Ava Lata wound up crashing through that guardrail and perishing and a raging in front.

You already know most of it. When I met up with Ava to pay the ransom, she lied and said my mother was dead. But then she turned up at the stra. Susan did

that. Psychotic bitch grabbed her and dragged her off a gunpoint. I pursued in my. He was swerved hard and

it’s just never meant to lead Jada on, of course, not. That isn’t who you are, mom. Jada saw Nicole and I kiss him. That’s why she decided that she wanted to end our relationship. Oh, how do you feel about that? I understand. I don’t blame her. I mean, but that doesn’t mean I’m walking away from my responsibility and I never told her what I thought she should do about the p.

Do you want the baby? Of course I do. I mean, people do it all the time, right? Co-parenting without living together, I mean, we just gotta figure a way to make it work together. Nicole and I can be together and that’s what we want. It’s just TA and I have to figure out how to raise this child. I just hope Nicole understands that and she’s okay about it.

So you’re here to what? Give me hell for ruining your little happily ever after. With Eric? No, Jada. I’m not here to give you hell. I I’m here to fight. To what? To make sure I understand that my co-parenting with Eric will never lead to anything else to make sure that we’ll be very business-like about it.

Well, let me be clear, Nicole. I have enough self-respect to not want to be with a man who’s in love with someone. And Eric knows that. I see. I’m assuming his intentions towards you haven’t changed, but you allowed to take that up with him. Dude, I, I’m so sorry. Eric and I never meant for this to happen. We never meant for you or RA to get hurt.

Oh, please just shut the hell. Excuse me. You heard me?

Why do I get the feeling? Because you’re still not telling me the whole story. I know. Detective White dude.

Well, this feels extreme. Even for Ava. I would ever drove her this far. I’ve got a hunch that it was more than some deal she made with you to leave town.

Who knows what drives a lunatic like Angel Vital. I guess I should say drove.

You’re hindering my investigation. Ej, I could arrest you for obstructing justice.

I won’t. Not after everything that you’ve been.

I appreciate that.

I see you’ve heard the news about Ava and Susie, the car wreck. Yeah, the spectators all over it. Right. You’re reporting. I went horribly wrong. How so? Oh, first that nosy body, Bonnie Keaker, she stumbled onto the shed, Ross Hole in Susan and Justin came home and I knew it was just a matter of time until he figured out that Bonnie was missing and they found both her and Susan.

I just, I should have taken that as a sign and ended the whole thing. Asco. But you wanted your payday. Yeah, exactly. So I managed to move Susan right before they rescued Bonnie. Well, so much for that. And Bonnie, she’s, she’s all right. Is she? It’s all right. As she Good, I suppose. But obviously Susan wasn’t Neely as lucky.

Uh, Xander went out to get some air. Hopefully he’ll be back soon and maybe then he’ll finally feel like eating something. Well, there were a lot of leftovers. No one, um, had much of an appetite tonight. How come? Oh, you know, the drama with Bonnie, I mean, I mean, thank God she’s all right. But you saw how upset she got when Rafe was questioning her.

Let me guess. Victor got on her case and ruined Thanksgiving dinner. Listen, as soon as we sat down to the table, poor Bonnie started having these flashbacks of this creepy clown holding her hostage and she got startled by the cork popping and, and her wine glass knocked into the gravy boat and it was just, oh God, it was downhill from there.

Or Bonnie, do the police have any leads on Ava’s accomplice? , as far as I know, all they have is Bonnie’s description of a muscle bound man and a clown mask. Blue business suit,

a blue business suit

kind of like this one.

What you offered. I didn’t expect you to take it. Commissioner Dudley do right? Drinking on the job,

Oh, what can I say? He’s spent a hell of a week. Rough one, huh? Yeah. I mean, obviously nothing compared to what you were going through, but

Nicole and I are getting divorced.

I’m sorry to hear that.

What thought? Considering how much you hate the two of us, he’d be gloating right now. I guess I’m not in the gloating mood.

So what happened? Wait, let me guess. It has something to do with Samantha’s twin brother.

And then I thought I’d come to terms with, uh, becoming a. And then there was a heartbreaking loss of McKenzie. I mean, I know I have nieces and nephews and, and Holly, it’s kind of where I feel that fate has intervened. It’s not too much to hope that all things can work out. Right, right. No, of course not.

You, you said that you’re hoping that Nicole will understand. So I guess you haven’t yet told her that Jada is pregnant and wants to keep the baby. No, I haven’t. And I know it’s a sensitive subject. Of course it’s because you, because you in a call want her to have a baby together. Yeah. And as you know, Nicole can’t have children cuz she can’t care to turn.

I just hope she didn’t feel threatened by this. How dare you? How dare I tell you? I’m sorry, . You’re not sorry. You got exactly what you wanted. So don’t pretend to feel bad for me or that you even care about me because you’re fake sympathy. It just makes it all worse. I’m sorry. I.

Imagine you’re me. I’m new to Salem. I meet this guy. He’s divorced. I’m divorced. His ex-wife seems to be happily remarried. This guy and I, we go on a few dates and we click, we have real chemistry. I be sure it moves, moves pretty fast. I’m, I’m living next door to him. We see each other every day, but. From what I can tell, he, he really likes me and I definitely like him, and so I, I think everything’s great.

But then all of a sudden, his, his, his ex-wife keeps coming around, keeps finding reasons to show up at his door. She even gives him a job. And she swears, she swears that there’s nothing going on between them. And then one day I show up at his office to pay him a visit, and I, I see him locking lifts with his ex, and then later that day, I find out that I’m pregnant with his baby.

So at the same time that he’s, he’s cutting me loose. I find out that I’m tied to this man for the rest of my life.

Really angry. Why the hell wouldn’t I be? Well, I would be too. So I, I, I hope you don’t mind me asking if this is how you feel, if this is how this guy makes you feel, then why would you wanna have a baby that ties you to him forever?

So many times I could have ended it. Greedy, cowardly. Look, Ava can be extremely scary. She’s insane. You know, she was operating outta the Dara crypt. I walked in there yesterday and I caught her talking to the walls. Goodness just got worse from there. And she finally lost it and ordered me to kill Susan.

What? What did you say? I refused, of course, but I was about to take Susan back up to the house when Ava ripped my mask off in front of Susan to give me more, I. In other words, if you didn’t kill Susan, Evan would know what you’d done. Sarah would know. In the end, I just,

I couldn’t bring myself to disappoint her yet again, and I, and I just, I let Susan, then what happened? I. Somehow Ava got Susan back and apparently the ransom handoff went bad. They got into a car chasing, driving off a cliff.

Zander, Zander. This is not your fault. You tried to save Susan. You, you helped her escape. You were not the one behind the wheel of that car. Of course, it was my fault. Agreeing to snatch Susan in the first place. If I hadn’t, Susan would still be alive.

So what are you talking to him about? That’s Sanders suit, his blue suit. Well, surely you don’t think that, I don’t know, mom. I mean, a lot of things are starting to add. Such as last night, Xander told me that he quit his job because his boss asked him to do something that was very wrong. So what was it? He was vague, but he did say that his boss was a woman.

Oh, come on. You don’t think the Xander is working for Ava mom? This sickness came on suddenly, as soon as he heard that Susan and Ava had died. You know that I love Xander and I, I want to believe in him, but he was under a lot of pressure to get this job, and he is the type of person that Ava would hire to do something like this.

Xander’s, not that man anymore. I didn’t think so either. Share why All the suspicion all of a sudden, because it, it doesn’t feel right. And an ethical boss feeling ill after hearing about a terrible tragedy. That doesn’t sound so strange to me. Okay. Then what about the fact that the kidnapper was keeping Bonnie and Susan in the Kiki shed?

Which is where Xander worked when he was the gardener. He knows the grounds. He knows how to get around unnoticed. And remember that Victor said that he had never heard of the company that Xander claimed he worked for. It was a startup, or maybe it doesn’t exist. Maybe Xander made up this job because he was working for Ava Vitali.

Yes, Cole and I are getting divorced because of Eric.

How’d you know? Now the two of them were destined to be together. Everyone knew,

it seemed like every time those two separated, they always ended up finding a way. Come back to each other.

I once thought Samantha and I had that kind of connection. Clearly I was mistaken.

Well, I’m not sure how unbreakable Nicole and Eric’s connection is. Seems like there’s already trouble in paradise.

Eric, this baby complicates things between you and Cole. I think you have to address this with her honey, and I think you’ve gotta do that very soon. Oh, mom, that’s where I was heading next actually. Good, good. Look, this will be. A difficult conversation to have and it could get complicated, but you know what?

You and Nicole have been through so much together and you love each other, so I, I just know you’ll find a way to work this out together.

I cannot believe you just asked me that. Well, it’s, it’s a legitimate. Look, Jada, I know you’re resentful of me. That’s putting it wildly, and I, I, I don’t blame you. I’m just trying to give you some perspective here. Okay. Look, I have been a single mother for years and believe me, my daughter was a surprise and I love her with my whole heart.

But you, you don’t wanna go into parenting with a negative attitude. I cannot ask for your perspective. Okay, that’s fine. I just wish someone had warned me. I’m sorry. Warned, this is the wrong word. I wish someone had painted a realistic picture of motherhood for me. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

It means it’s true what they say about babies. They change your life forever and you need to decide. Before it’s too late. If you’re ready for this change. If, if this is something that you really want, I mean, for example, have you even considered how this would affect your career? Brave told me that I can take leave anytime I want.

Okay, that’s wonderful. But how much of that leave will be paid? And not to mention before you have the baby, you’ll be sitting behind a desk for a. And for an ambitious young detective, that’s gotta be a big setback. Okay? Enough. And when you do go back to work, you’re gonna be exhausted and torn and, and crying all the time, and not just because of your hormones.

It’s guilt. It’s guilt because you love your job and you love your baby, and you try to put your whole heart into both and it’s impossible. And it, and it leaves you feeling bitter and, and not to mention depressed. And yes. We’ll be there for you a hundred percent, but even with that support, Jayda is, is the hardest thing I have ever done.

And of course, I’m, I’m gonna be in Eric’s life now, which means I’m gonna be in yours meant I am just trying to figure out a way to, to work this out, get. I am trying to help Jada. I’m just trying to help get out.

I am going to keep telling you this until you hear me. Zander, this was not your fault. Okay? Ava promised that Susan would not get hurt. Yeah, and I was stupid enough to believe her. I, I know Ava. Ava, and I think that when she hired you, she was telling the truth. This was supposed to be a simple kidnapping, but like you said, it took a horrible turn.

And if you would’ve known how this would’ve turned out, you never would’ve taken that job. You know, when I let Susan go, I, and I thought there’s a good chance she’d run straight to the cops and tell them that you were the one who took her. I almost confessed to Sarah, but then I remembered when Susan.

Begging for her life, she swore to keep her mask shut. But I thought, what if life, by some miracle, she doesn’t say anything. So you didn’t tell Sarah?

I just told her I quit my job and then I saw the news and I got my miracle. Susan will never say anything. Ever again. You didn’t want Susan to die and you did not kill her. Ah, but I, I terrorized her. I, I grabbed her, I drugged her. I tied her up. I I’m not a changed man, Gwen, and the same worthless piece of garbage I’ve always been.

Hi, Hey. That’s not true. Your intentions were good and honorable. This was about you being a supportive husband, a provider. I thing I’ve ever provided Sarah with his pain. I should just tell the truth. No, no. I have to. I This is no choice. No. Yeah. Hell, you don’t have a choice of snow. But Eva is dead and Susan is dead.

Bonnie never saw your face and I’m certainly not gonna bloody say anything. What do you mean that

I could have given you up the other night? I didn’t. I. Even after everything we’ve been through,

like I said to you before, Xander, I still care about you.

I understand you probably better than anyone. Which, um, I’m pretty sure is why you are here.

You trusted me with your secret, and I promise you is.

Sarah. Hmm, darling, when Zander first got his job at the pharmaceutical company, I was skeptical of his honesty at first because he, he wasn’t giving you any details. But now, now what? You, you think I should just believe him no matter what? I think then in this case, you. Letting your imagination run wild.

Xander has a blue suit, so do a million other men. I know. I know. No Lava Vitali was in the mafia. Okay. I’m sure she had a dozen. Muscle bowel enforcers on her payroll.

Honey, I’ve been married to a change man for a very long time, as you know, in spite of what I said to you the other day, which now I regret because. I never like it when people plant seeds of doubt with me regarding Victor’s behavior, artist honesty.

Anyway, the key is truth. To trust that your husband is being honest with you, unless you have overwhelming evidence to the contrary, you think that Xander’s being honest? Yeah, I think Xander loves you more than anything, and now that he has you. I don’t think he’d do anything to risk losing you again.

And now I need to get home to Victor . Okay. Thank you for the food. Oh, you are most welcome. Yeah. And everything is gonna be all right, sweetheart. I promise.

Have you, I love you more

travel and Paradise between St. Eric and her ex-wife to tell, yeah. Excuse me.

Yeah. Colin, what’s up? All right, I’ll be right there. Well, I’ve gotta head back to the station. Sure. I can’t persuade you to come with me. Maybe tomorrow. Definitely tomorrow fine. Okay. But tonight I’m going to sit here with my single malt and wallow just. Promise me you won’t get buying the wheel. My driver’s parked just down there.

All good. Good. And uh, be careful. It’s a blind turn right? Don’t wanna end up like my mother.

No.

What are you doing here? I didn’t draw a holiday shift. I wanted to catch up on some paperwork and, uh, clear my head. You okay? Yeah, it’s just, it’s been a day. Yeah. I hear ya. You’re not wearing your wedding ring. Yeah. Well, Nicole and I talked earlier. We had divorced. I’m sorry. Just figured no point in dragging it out now, even if.

Nicole doesn’t end up going back to her cuz of your pregnancy. My pregnancy will not be an issue.

Nicole. Hey, my God. Oh, I’m, oh, I’m so happy to see you. I was just trying to call you to see if we can meet up. I’m sorry I didn’t call sooner. Yeah. Uh, same. I just wanted to tell you. Jed has decided to have the baby. Oh yeah. But it won’t change anything between us. Ah, are you sure?

I know it’s alive and it’s all happening at once, but we can handle it. We always have whatever life throws at us, we always find a way to make it work. . Listen, Jada and I, our relationship is over and we’re gonna co-parent, and that’s it. I love you and only you,

I promise it’s gonna be okay.

Have you made a decision about the.

I have,

I was gonna go through with a pregnancy until I’ve had time to think about it, to consider what my life would really. Be like, if I did

and I realized,

realized what?

I can’t do it after all.

You feeling better? I, I am. Yeah. The fresh air me good. Good. I’m glad you were out in the cold for such a long time. You must be freezing. Not as bad as I thought. . , something smells good. What better than sweaty gym socks, that’s for sure. Yes. Mom brought us a bunch of leftovers so we can dig in if you have your appetite back.

Uh, I do, and I am starving. Just let me unpack this really quick. Before the cockroaches or any though, why is it right and I will just move your blue suit so we have somewhere to sit, something wrong with. I was just, uh, thinking that maybe over dinner you could tell me if you were the clown that kidnapped Bonnie and Susan.

That’s strange that happened.
