THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Are you nearly done? You’ve about worn out that carpet. Well, we can certainly afford to replace it. Now that you’ve decided not to pay for your mother’s ransom, would you calm down? I’ve told you I’m handling this well, of course you’re handling it by comedian. A major felony of your own

trip’s gonna be, okay, Ava, I’m gonna bring him back. Safe. Promise me Steve Promise. I promise I’m gonna bring him home. Safe and sound

Dam. Eva, why aren’t you answering my calls? I’ve tried being patient, but obviously you had no plan B when Egypt didn’t pay up right way to get some mother back. I’ve had some uh, Complications on my end. So you need to wrap this up right now. I’ll not my wife, find out what I’ve done for you

pregnant. Are you sure? That is what the test indicates, but it’s not possible. Are you not sexually? We are, but we use birth control well, um, as you know, birth control isn’t a hundred percent effective.

I assumed this is a complication

you wanna be with.

When I asked you that a few hours ago, you adamantly denied it. I know. I know. Wife, and I’m so sorry. Why did you marry me? Because I loved you

tense.

I still have feelings for you. You’re a wonderful man, right? Oh, don’t just, don’t you stop. Stop humoring me. Okay? Just tell me the damn truth.

When you realized that you could have Eric back, you regretted getting involved with me, didn’t you?

I was just.

A substitute for your real love

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

I feel terrible. You don’t deserve this. You were so good to me. Oh, oh, stop. Just stop it, right? I don’t need you feeling sorry for me. You’re trying to absolve your feelings of guilt by telling me how good I was to you or whatever. I don’t give a damn about that anymore. Okay? I just, I just want the truth.

I understand. Okay. Okay, good.

You told me just a few hours ago you didn’t have any feelings for Eric. Yeah. I mean, you swore to it. In fact, as I recall, and I meant it at the time I did it, is just that things changed. Apparently everything changed. You honestly expect me to believe that you just had these feelings now since the last time I’ve seen you a couple hours ago.

No. Now these feelings, Eric, they’re not new. They didn’t just dawn on you. No, they didn’t. No. Okay, so we got married in June.

When you stood in front of me and you looked me in the eye, you promised to have hold and cherish me. Did you wanna be with Eric then?

No. No. Oh no. It was before we even sat our vow, wasn’t it? It was the moment that he came back into town.

No, be fun. When we, when Eric came back into town, I was, I was confused and I was infected in ways that I, I just didn’t expect. But, but when I looked in your eyes and I. My vows. I wanted to be with you. I wanted to be with you forever, so please, please don’t erase that. Why not? You just did.

He just told you, I don’t give a damn what you just told me. I wasn’t the one and you knew it. Hell,

please forget that I said that. I’m so. That is none of my business. I’m going to let you talk. Is there any chance that the test could be wrong? Uh, stupid question. I know these tests are very, very accurate. No, not, not a stupid question. Um, yes, they are very accurate, but I would be happy to run it for you again.

Just let me know. Okay? I am gonna let you two talk.

I dunno where to start, even know what to say.

Me neither. If only this. A happy surprise, but those seem to be in very rare supply these days, unlike unhappy ones.

Ah, Kayla, I thought you were working late. Obviously Steve is just comforting me. It’s okay, Ava. I am not. But I do wonder why you’re here. Tripp told us that you were moving to Seattle because of, uh, some problem you were having with ej. Yeah. Well, EJ doesn’t get to tell me what to do or where to go. End of story.

You call kidnapping Trip Johnson a felony. I call it a solid defensive maneuver. Tony, Eva put me in a corner when she took my mother. What else was I supposed. You pay the ransom , please don’t be in a standoff with this woman. She’s unpredictable and dangerous. Swallow your pride and just why the funds, Tony, me, you need to trust me on this.

I have no doubt whatsoever that my mother is safer because of what I’ve done. Not the opposite.

Bad day.

I didn’t see you there. That’s my surprise. I mean, given the way you barged in here and made a beeline for the bar, it’s obvious that you needed that drink. Just unwinding. What are you doing here? Chris was shopping. No, I’m working. Actually, today’s my first day at the Spectator. Hell of a start too.

You know, Paulina Price gets elected and her daughter gets arrested. Chanel was arrested for Madda. Yeah. You really don’t know the whole body town’s buzzing over it. Ah, I’ve been busy. I my first day of work too. Oh, so you were finally gainfully employed, are you? I am indeed. Well, don’t leave me in suspense.

Tell me everything.

Sounds like it’s a big problem with ej. Nope. Why are we even talking about that jerk? Just forget him. I said, I would help you, Ava, but I’m not gonna keep my wife in the dark. Keep me in the dark about. You know, and Steve’s gonna have to explain it. I’ve gotta take care of something.

I’m counting on you. I’ll keep you posted.

What’s going.

Trips been kidnapped.

I have a’s son, that’s checkmates. As soon as she will realize this and it will all be over. You seem awfully confident, don’t you. Now tell me how the negotiation’s been since you sent Ava a photo of trip being held at some point as she bombard with calls, a flurry of texts. No, I didn’t think so. She went ready, silent, didn’t she?

Give her time? A mother who’s desperate to save her son doesn’t need time. She replies immediately by saying she’ll do anything she can to get him back. She’s just trying to prove that she’s tough. Oh. Or she’s trying to give you a hint that she cares more about the money than she does the welfare of her son.

Hey, I know you think you have the winning move here, but it’s possible that what you’ve done, it’s brought you that much closer to losing your mother.

So the company’s called redneck, eh? Yes. A pharmaceutical startup. Right. Okay. That’s very exciting. Our job’s a job, right? And I needed the money buried under a mountain of debt from the Salem in as well. You know, isn’t your wife a doctor? Sarah’s still on probation and reduced salary on five bills to pay.

You know, it’s funny. In all the time we were together, I never remembered. You mentioning being interested in pharmaceuticals and, um, don’t companies like that hire people who are experienced in the field? Not necessarily. I mean, they, like you say, I had tons of potential and you know, I’m a hard worker and that’s an experienced con artist now what’s that supposed to mean?

It’s just that. While we’ve been sitting here, I’ve been discreetly scouring the internet for this so-called company and, um, can’t find a thing. Nothing. It’s almost as if it doesn’t exist. It’s brand new, a startup. So, I mean, there should be some sort of mention of it if it’s startup or not even a bare bones website.

But there isn’t. Just tell me. Why are you lying about your job?

Sorry. Fuck. I wanna be honest with you, but it’s, it’s complicated.

Well give it your best shot.

When I accepted your proposal, I wanted more than anything to be your wife. But,

but, but that was before I knew Eric left the priesthood,

so I was right.

I was right. You, uh, you regretted getting engaged. Pretty much from the moment I put that ring on your finger.

So our marriage was a farce from the beginning.

You got another unhappy surprise today. Is that what you’re saying? To me? Finding out that I’m pregnant is the last thing I expected.

This is the timing that’s really hitting me. The timing.

Can we please not pretend, I saw you about an hour ago, Eric, kissing your ex-wife.

You saw I went to Basic black looking for you, and there you were locked in what looked like a very passionate kiss with Nicole.

I guess shooting that magazine cover. Really stir up some old feelings for you.

Were you planning to tell me? Yes, yes. I was planning on telling you, and then Rave called to tell you I fainted, and now we know why.

Look, it’s been very obvious to me for a while now that Nicole has very strong feelings. But it wasn’t until today, until I saw the two of you kissing until I can see the look in your eye that you have right now that your feelings for her are just as strong. She just didn’t admit it. You want to be with Nicole despite.

Despite her marriage.

Call it what you want.

I will not call our marriage a farce. I loved you on our wedding day, and I still love you now. Just not enough.

You remember, do you remember we had a fight few weeks ago and I passed you? If you rushed into marrying me cause you were afraid of the feelings that you have for Eric because you said No,

it wasn’t. Was

and I were over for a long time and I, I felt neglected by him. And he felt guilty for not putting me first. We were never in sync. But you were in love, right? You were in love. That’s the point that I’m trying to make.

You were just tough. You just using me. You loved him. So I was convenient way for you to get over that. I was Your escape wasn’t I, wasn’t I to?

Okay.

I admit it. It’s made fun.

I’m so sorry.

Two minutes on a laptop and you’re convinced I’m lying. Deny it me once. And I know you, there’s a reason why you are knocking back all those drinks. You’ve had a stressful day. Hmm. Right. Here’s how I think your day is going. You need a job. Yeah. But, um, there isn’t really a job out there for a man with your very special, unique talents and the pressure is on because you have to provide for the new.

And, uh, you can’t let her carry the load on her own. Cuz that would be quite, um, humiliating, especially since all the other kayakers men are doing a fine cracking job at it. Yeah. So you put on that very nice suit and you tell the Mrs you are off to start your new job and then you pop out two wild away the hours at a coffee shop or a pub perhaps to make it look like you’re putting in eight.

Of work until you go home. Am I close? You think you’re so damn clever, Gwen, you can be further off base. I am working. Problem is the job that I took is just a wee bit illegal.

Travis been kidnapped. Ava came over here to tell me that, oh dear God, all we have to go on so far is that photo, which was taken a couple of hours ago, and what appears to be his apartment. So my guess is he’s not far from there. I’m so sorry. I mean, who would wanna do this? Who, who? I mean, what could they possibly want from trip?

I don’t know, but I know who’s behind it. E. You think EJ kidnapped? Your son looks that way. Oh, that son of a bitch. I’ll kill him myself. Favor, I’m concerned I haven’t heard back since I text you. My latest negotiating starts. Surely we can get these talks going again since we each have something the other wants.

It’s not in your best interest to ignore. Fine. I won’t. Oh, you are gonna wish you had just paid up a miserable son of a bitch.

Where’s my mother? Where’s my son? You lost your advantage when you kidnap. Now I’ve got as much on you as you’ve got on me hotly. Ooh, look at that. I make you nervous. You’re not used to that. Are you squaring off with someone when the odds aren’t stacked in your favor?

You have met your match and it scares the hell.

Play. Wait, Kayla, listen. Listen. When I heard about this, my first instinct was to confront ej, but that’s not the smart move. Not when trip’s. Safety is our priority. I don’t understand why EJ would do this. He threatened Ava to get her to leave Salem when she came back. I guess this is his way of making good on the threat.

What about Joey? Was he at the apartment when they came and took Trip? Joe’s fine. I talked to him. Apparently they covered their bases by getting trip to call Joe and tell him he went camping. But I think we should keep Joe thinking that, at least for now. I still don’t get it. Why would EJ involve trip in this if this problem is really with Ava?

I think there is something that she’s not telling you.

You wasn’t working for Ava and she had you turn, fuck. Well, at least I know where she went now, after I turned her down, she turned up when I was in hospital, she wanted me to get revenge on ej.

Didn’t expect to see you here or you. Sandra and I just bumped into each other. Yeah, after you were called into work, Victor and Maggie’s dinner fell apart and I didn’t feel like calling it at night yet. So popped in here for a drink and Zander has been filling me in on his new job. Fascinating. I’m sure there’s lots of things he hasn’t even told you about.

I never intended on keeping the truth from you.

The truth is, is I’ve been in denial about my feelings for Nicole for a while. A while is in the entire time we’ve been together. Jada, I honestly believe that Nicole and I were done. No matter what I was feeling, she was married to somebody else and I kept telling myself that I needed to accept it and move on with my life.

And that’s when you got involved with me, I think. I think you’re an incredible woman. I’m not incredible enough to make you forget.

I honestly thought I could go into a new relationship and genuinely give the best of who I am myself, no matter what I felt for Nicole, but I couldn’t. I’m sorry.

Get out.

I said.

That had to hurt because it really hurts saying it, oh enough. Walk away. Just go, no, I’m not gonna walk away. Until you understand that I loved you enough to marry you. I swear, Rafe, I thought if I committed to you and I went all in to be the best wife that I could be for you, that it would end my feelings for Eric once and for all and be the beginning of a lifetime of loving you well.

Wow. Nice try.

Blame you for eating me or you wanna cut me out of your life forever. But I want you to know, and when I said my vows to you, I meant every word and I wanted them to be the last vows that I’d ever said, oh, come on. That’s, if, that’s just when, if wedding vows ever meant anything to you.

That is not fair. Ra. Oh, sure it is. Marriage is just a game to you. No, that is not true. Well, I think that Victor and Lucas would disagree. EJ would disagree twice. Oh, please, RA, don’t do this. What am I doing? Huh? I’m just telling it like it is. I mean, you are who you are. Nicole. I mean, you, you, you even cheated on Eric.

The love of your life was Xander of all people. Why don’t you stop? No, I’m not gonna stop now, baby, cuz I’m on a roll. And while we’re here, why don’t you, why don’t you actually tell me how long you’ve been cheating on me with Eric? I haven’t been cheating.

Yes, Eric and I kissed today, but. It, it just happened. It wasn’t planned. You and I had a fight and Eric and I, we were, we, we were just in the moment. It’s all right. Well, you did what you’ve wanted to do for months now what happened next? Huh? Guessing that led to the conference table? No. No. We stopped right away and we talked.

Did you, what You guys talk about what you wanted each other? Even though, uh, Eric’s got a girlfriend and you have a husband, we acknowledged our feelings for each other and then what we’ve been suppressing for all these months now, God, that’s cuz uh, what’d you guys do next? Did you come up with a plan?

Plan, how you were. Break up with me and Jada as quick as possible so you can get back to your, your feelings.

Well, you got what you wanted, Nicole, and clearly in the end, that’s all that matters to you.

Honestly, I was quite surprised. To hear about the work that Zander’s doing? Quite shocked, actually. Shocked. Oh, why? Well, you know, pharmaceuticals not really something I thought that Zander was ever interested in. And, um, I didn’t even know that he was qualified to work in that, um, particular field, but, All know how very smart Zander is and what a good work ethic he has.

So, um, I think that they are very lucky to have him. Don’t you think? Yeah. I’m very proud of him

hospital and they might need me to come back

for a second there. I thought that you were, tell her. Why didn’t you

honor amongst thieves, I suppose,

and look, despite everything that’s happened, I still care about you thunder, as much as I would just love to boss you and Sarah up. Um, I don’t have it in me to hurt you like that.

Well, thanks. I guess,

so you are free to go about with Ava’s bidding, but as somebody who’s been there and dodged that bullet, All I can say is, well, best of British luck to you.

I’m sure Ava’s holding something back, but she didn’t admit it. Well, we can deal with that later. Right now, trip comes first. I’m gonna get on the first flight to Seattle. Well, you better make sure that there’s two seats because I’m coming with you. Oh, no you’re not. Oh, yes I am. You are not going up against EJ alone.

Wake up, Ava, your lost chance. Give me back my mother. Cause you don’t wanna find out what happens if you say no. All right. Well, you give me back my son first. And then we’ll discuss what it’s gonna cost you to get Susan back. I’m not gonna be strong armed by a piece of trash. Oh. Oh, I see. So you can threaten me, bully me.

Leave me homeless. John, you committed fraud. You used my son. And if not for my extraordinary compassion, you be in prison right now. You conniving Ingrid. Oh, watch it. Ej. You piss me. I’m gonna have to call my associate and tell him to put a bullet in your mother’s head.

Stop. Pastor, you’re lucky. You are lucky. You’re lucky that my father is here. Otherwise, you would’ve wound up in the Crip next to your fake husband.

Sweetness. EJ being behind. This isn’t a reason to come with me. It’s why you should stay home and let you fly solo while I sit here and stare at my phone. Not a chance. No. I’m gonna call John. I’m not gonna do it alone. I’m gonna get Black patch. On the case? No, you cannot put him on the spot like that.

Marlena just got out of the hospital and he needs to be with her. You know, you tell him about Tripp and he is not gonna be able to turn you down. Listen, I don’t even know what I’m walking into. I’m not gonna put you at risk. Have you already forgotten who came to the rescue in Hong Kong when somebody I know.

Was brainwashed, baby. You just got out of the hospital yourself. And I am perfectly fine now and I am not gonna stay behind while my stepson is in grave danger. I love that boy with all my heart. And if you are walking into danger to save his life, I am going to be there to have your back. Yes. There’s no arguing with you.

No, there is not. And let’s come back.

Go find Nicole. I’ll be fine. We haven’t even talked about, I don’t know what I’m going to do about this pregnancy, but don’t worry about it, Eric. It’s not your problem. Not my problem. Jada. I, I care about you in this pregnancy. We need to figure this. What’s there to figure out? You told me who you want to be with.

There’s nothing else to say. Listen, if you’re trying to give me an easy way out, I don’t want it. We need to make decisions together about this baby. All right? And I want to be here for you. I’m not just gonna walk away.

Five, but we’re not gonna come up with any answers tonight.

I’m exhausted. I need to close my eyes and regroup. So please listen to me when I tell you I need you to go.

You, Schumer. I’m.

I should give this back.

I shouldn’t have accepted your ring or your love.

I didn’t deserve it, and I, I didn’t deserve you.

You deserve someone who’s worthy of you, and it’s, it’s not me.

I did everything wrong in this marriage. And you did everything right?

Yeah, except that it wasn’t Eric.

Oh, Erica. Hey. Hey. Are you okay?

I was just with re Oh God. I told him everything. It was awful. I’m sorry. It’s done. So, um, how’s Jada?

Shit? Jada’s pregnant.

Okay. We make this flight. We’ll be in Seattle in five hours. Ah, what about Stephanie? She’s gonna wonder why we dis. Uh, with all that mess with Paul, and this is the last thing she needs to worry about right now. Well, I’ll call her and tell her that we’ve got outta town for a couple days. Okay? We’ll tell Joe and Stephanie everything after we rescue trip.

Come on,

leave, go assess your options. Soon you realize you’re loud. Now get out. Okay. But I’d start getting my money together if I were you. I am running out of patience. But worse comes to worse. I can always send you a lock of Susan’s sayer. Say you have something to remember. Bye. Do you want no idea who you’re with?

No.

This has gotta announce. Spare me the lecture. What lecture? I’m trying to help you face reality. Dammit. Don’t you understand that she’s unbalanced. Pay her off before something happens that you can’t control.

Do they need you to come back in? Nope. I’m good. Wonderful. I’ll, I’ll get you a drinking. No, no. I was, um, I was thinking that we could go to Julie’s place for a late night dinner and you can tell me all about your first day and maybe we can discuss a new living situation. . Let’s get Cody

cool at Call me if you’d like to talk, talk about. Um, yeah, well I’m working at the Spectator now and, um, I said to Zander that I would write a piece about the company he’s working for cuz startups need all the publicity they can get. Right. Consider it, consider it my way of making amends. They, thanks, thanks.

But, uh, that won’t be necessary.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Bonnie went to the shed. Yeah. No, I mean that’s right. We were talking about centerpieces and she said the garden shed. I back. That’s right. What the hell is she doing down there?

Who are you and what are you doing here? I know who you are. You’re, you’re Susan Banks. Oh my God, honey. Who?

A brother with a gun to his head.

Oh, sweetness. Come on. Haven’t we established that I can fend for myself when you’re working late? Yeah, well, I stopped by the pub, had a bullet chatter with your brother and uh, then he insisted on telling me all about his new fly fishing rod. No, I’m not getting any ideas. Okay, listen, I’m just gonna have one beer and head home, so don’t work too hard.

Yeah, I love you.

Hey buddy, haven’t seen you in a long time. Hey, do you mind if I join you? Well, I don’t think I’d be great company. Oh, what’s going on? Nothing good.

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

God, honey, did this to you.

Oh. Oh my goodness. How Kiki did you come back from the dead to save Me? Oh, no, honey. Oh wow. Lord Sent Heavenly me. You. Oh, hardly. I’m Bonnie Kikis. Oh, you Justin Sch new wife. Yeah, that’s, oh my God. Definitely has a specific time. Doesn’t name show. If the Lord didn’t send you, then who did? Coincidence came down for a couple of planters.

Well, I mean, there is no coincidence. It’s the Lord and he’s working in mysterious ways. Okay, speaking of mysterious ways, honey. Who did this to you?

Come on. Trip. Trip. Pick up. Damn it. It went straight to voicemail. I guess EJ wasn’t kidding with that photo. Yeah. Well, he’s gonna find out that he messed with the wrong Vitali. Do you really think EJ is gonna pick up? You know what? It doesn’t matter.

Ej, listen, you son of a bitch, you lay one finger on my son and I will kill you. Well, it’s nice to see that you care about the health and welfare of one of your sons. Really, really? Whining right now. I mean, EJ Damara could kill trip and it’s still, mommy loved him best. Huh? What is something funny? No, I just, I think EJ definitely bested you and you can’t say that you didn’t have it coming,

buddy. Listen, are you sure you’re not just jumping the gun here? I mean, so Eric took pictures of Nicole. That’s work. That doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything going on, but there is. There is. Look, it’s not just the photo shoots. Okay. Yeah. Ever since Eric came back into town, there’s been this, so Paul, between he and Nicole, are you sure you’re not just being possessive?

I know dudes can do that sometimes, so I’ve. Look, I keep finding them in each other’s arms and there’s always an excuse, but after a while, you know, well, I understand why it’s not exactly ideal for your wife to be working with her ex, but that doesn’t necessarily mean those, uh, explanations aren’t true. I mean, they’re still friends, right?

Good friends, Steve, I believe. But they were always and will continue to be more than friends. Okay. They were divorced, it was messy. Eric took off, he came back, and then Nicole hired him so they can work together, be together, cuz um, they never stopped loving each.

What are we doing? What we’ve been wanting to do for months?

Looks like your precious trip isn’t getting out of this anytime soon.

EJ doesn’t waste any time, does he? I have to call Zander. You don’t wanna do that. Trust me. Would anyone, uh, like a drink Bob? Waiting for Bonnie? I can murder a beer.

What now? Ah, sorry. I got a text. Dam it. This is something emergency at the office and gonna have to call in. I’m so sorry. An emergency. It’s this hour of the. At a pharmaceutical startup, who knows what it could be, but it’s a good sign, right? That they need him

clown. Yeah. I mean, you don’t see that very often, do you? Do you mean like a clown? Like some kind of joker? No, I don’t mean a clown. Like some kind of a joker. I mean a clown with a red nose and a shelter bottle only. He didn’t have a shelter bottle because he needed to tie me up cuz you wanna need his hands free.

Um, But honey, it wasn’t a real clown. Yeah, he just said he was, he’s a man dressed up as a clown. He was in disguise so that I wouldn’t be able to tell who the kidnapper was. Okay. Why would someone wanna kidnap you? You know what? I just don’t know. I don’t, but you know what? The man, the clown, the man dressed up as a clown.

Well, he has a Bosh co name, the Ring mesh. You heard the cold? No, no, I made it up. I’m very creative and being tied up because really boring. So could you just tell me where we are in Keri’s Garden? She, why are you here at the garden? Chicago Nu. I came down to get a couple of lanterns from Maggie and Victor’s 11th anniversary.

Oh, that my, I gotta tell you, wherever this club was, he sure as hell know how to tie a mouth. Thanks for the compliment.

So this pull between them, have you spoken to Nicole about it? Yeah, the knife. And what’d she say? She denied it. But you don’t believe her like that, Steve, that’s not the point. She doesn’t want to admit it to herself, let alone to me she, she doesn’t want to feel this way. She just, Dude, I know it’s hard, but maybe you just need to trust her.

That’s good advice. Yeah, exactly what I said to Jada. All right, Jada. So does she think, um, Eric and Nicole are.

Well, she, uh, certainly gives every indication that she believes that. Yeah. Because every time she sees Eric and Nicole together, she finds a way to tell me all about it. So you think Jada is serious about Eric? I dunno, I don’t know that. Well, I think she thinks that it’s serious. Um, uh, she always talks about, uh, Eric being God’s gift to the world.

Pretty sure he feels that way. Wow. Well, Jada has a tough exterior, but she is still pretty young. She’s new to town. She’s got no. It’s got a new job, man. I hope this whole thing doesn’t end in end in tears. Yeah. All the way around. We, we haven’t been fighting this for months. We , we just lost our heads for a all.

I didn’t. I kissed you just now because I wanted to. That’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. I mean, every time I’ve seen you actually, and every time I fight it, it just gets stronger.

Eric, I want you, and from the way you kiss me, just.

I think you want me too, Nicole. We were once married. We’re always going to be attracted to one another. This is more than just an attraction. The way I feel about you now is the same way I felt when we got married and years before that. Can you honestly say we just lost our heads and there’s not a hell of a lot more to it.

You got married and you, you just got home from the courthouse and I was at your, your doorway. Do you remember? I remember

I was there because I wanted to tell you how I felt about.

Just after even Pauling his wedding, it just seemed like we should just talk. But that’s when I found out you and Rafa just got married, so my feelings didn’t really matter anymore. Wait, no, that, that’s, that’s not true. It’s fine. It’s just with briefing. I’m.

Fuck you and, and Jada. I mean, it’s a thing, but it it’s not what we have. She knows it. Believe me. She knows it. What are you saying to me? That’s your break with Jada and you break up with Raven. We just let the chips fall. They may. I mean, Jada and I, we haven’t, we haven’t made any promises or anything like that.

I mean, we’re getting to know each other really. But Nicole, you’re married. It matters That really matters.

Okay? Now, I’m not saying you’re right or you’re. But if you’re this jacked up about it, I think you need to tell Nicole how you’re feeling. I did. No, no. What I just heard you say was that you asked her how she’s feeling. What you need to do is tell her what you just told me. Okay. Not the advice I was expecting from you.

Well, I know Kayla and I have had more than our share of ups and downs over the years. And one thing I know is that you can’t solve a problem by ignoring it. Right? Yeah. Well, point taken. Point taken. Hmm. So can we change the subject? How about those cups? Yeah. Hey, Jed. Oh, fancy seeing you here. What? Well, I, I meant, uh, because you live here.

Oh, yeah. Great. Are you okay? Uh, actually, I, uh, I got some work things to go over with Rafe. Okay, well, I’ll leave you too. Hang in there buddy. All right. Okay. You.

So what’s going on?

Give that to me. Are you really gonna let EJ get away with this? You’re just gonna give up 20 million. I don’t care about the money. I only care about trip. Yeah, we know that. The important thing is EJ knows that, can’t you see? He’s bluffing. He’s not gonna hurt trip. This might be photoshopped for all we.

But if you give Susan up, you give up any leverage that you have. Okay? And then what am I supposed to do then? Nothing. Nothing. What if you are wrong? What if you are wrong? And EJ does hurt trip, mom. You are reacting like EJ wants you to react. He wants you emotional, not rational. This is my son we are talking about.

Yes. And because he’s your son, you’re e quivering mess. You kidnapped E J’s mother. Did he fall apart? No, he regrouped and he went straight for your Achilles heel. Because EJ is ruthless. That is what you need to be right now. We both know that you’re up to that particular task.

It’s up to you. Are you going to beat EJ at his own game or cave like a house of card?

You get away from her? I tell. I will say back. Sit that down. Stay back. Listen lady. You do not want me to lose my tender. If you don’t wanna be stirred like a male, hey, get outta here. Not gonna happen. How?

Xander has a very important new job. Sarah. Tell Mathusla, hear all about it. He’s an executive at redneck. Why would rednecks need an executive? No. Red Max. It’s a pharmaceutical startup and he’s in upper management in charge of the entire sales department. I, if it’s so major, why haven’t I heard of it?

So you kidnapping me now too. I bet your boss didn’t count on a two for one deal, did he or she? This isn’t gonna work, you know? Do me a favor.

Who did you decide to call someone who can make this all go away?

Steve Johnson. Steve Hit’s. I need to see you. It’s an emergency

Now you’re playing the game.

Something’s going on at the station. Uh, not exactly. Okay. But something’s bothering you. I just saw Nicole and Eric at Peace Black. Oh yeah. I know. I was there when he showed. You were there. Mm-hmm. . I went to talk to Nicole about the pictures you told me about, and um, turned into another big fight. I’m sorry.

Yeah. Turns out I was all ticked off about Nicole modeling four, Eric, but it only got better from there because I found out that Nicole was gonna be in pictures with Eric on the cover of Bella. You were kidding. No. No wonder you got in a big fight. Yeah. Um, I’m tired, so. Okay. Yeah. Well, obviously you feel the same way about this whole thing as Ivy Jada.

Hey, Jada. Jada. Hey Jada. Jay,

Bri and I have been fighting. So much lately, and I hate it. I hate it because I know the kind of man he is. He’s, he’s not jealous, he’s not possessive. He just wants to know the truth, and there’s part of him that knows that I’m keeping something from him. Oh, God.

And the last thing I wanna do is hurt him. And I love him. I do. And this, this should be a good marriage, but it’s not. It’s not because I, oh God. And he was so right about this. He was so right. I married him. I married him. Sorry, I could forget about. It is such a horrible thing to do to him, and I did it to a man and he deserves so much better.

No wonder if you wanted to forget about me. Look at the way I treated you when we were married. What kind of man would marry a woman like you and then run for the hills?

I live with so much regret. I’m sorry

we really screwed things up, didn’t we? All the pain

and after all that, I, I may still love you.

I always will. I think.

Eric, I just, I had to say this to you, but if you don’t wanna be with me,

it’ll hurt. Oh God. Will it hurt?

I’ll accept it.

But no matter what I, I need to end things with RA because it’s not fair to treat him like a consolation fries, because every time I look at him, all I can think about is being with you.

No, I house is away. I,

I know no one can hear me. It’s okay. It’s okay. Maggie knew I was coming down here. Sooner or later, someone’s gonna find us. Rednecks sounds made up to me. You’ve really never heard of it. How could he? It’s a startup. You know, 90% of all startups fail. Stop that right now. Not to worry. Most of those failures didn’t have Senator Cook in the key management.

You, uncle Victor, is your faith in me that keeps me going.

Happy anniversary, Maggie. Oh, thank you. Many, many, many. I’m gonna think that one over. So what was the emergency? All taken care of. Hmm. Oh, now, now it’s my turn. The hospital , yes, but the ER is really understaffed, so here a happy anniversary. Mom. Victor, I’m sorry. That’s okay. Don’t wait up. Well, I guess it’s just gonna be the four of us for dinner.

Maybe we should just call the whole thing off. No, no. You and Victor are gonna have dinner together and start to work out two differences. Let the healing begin and Bonnie and I will, what is keeping her? She should have been back by now. She’s been abducted by aliens. Well, I’m gonna go and look for her.

Thanks for seeing me. What’s going on? Trip told me EJ forced you to leave town. Yeah, well, I came back. I don’t like being pushed around. I never knew that about you. Okay. But EJ somehow found out that I broke the deal. So what’d he do? Threatened to send you to prison? Oh. It is much worse than that.

Son.

Should I go?

If I stay, you know what that means?

I think we both know what it means

and

it’s like you and I gotta do the right thing. I can’t stay with Jada, especially when my heart belongs to someone else.

As, as angry as I was with you. I never stop loving you. Thank you,

Eric. This time we, you, no, we are not. You gotta screw it up, I promise. Yeah, let’s not.

It’s ra what?

Hey ra. What’s going on Eric? Listen. I’m at the hospital. You gotta get down here. It’s Jada.

Well, thanks Joe. Yeah. No, no, everything’s fine. I just want to check in with you. Love you too. All right.

Trip told Joe he was going camping. Yeah, right with a gun at his head.

All right. It looks like this picture was taken in his apartment in Seattle. I don’t think EJ would take it much further than that. Wait a minute, this doesn’t make sense. So EJ is mad at you for coming back to town. He kidnapped trip. That’s overkill and it’s way too risky. Hey, what’d you do, Ava? Nothing. I don’t believe you, but I don’t have time to drag it out of you.

Where are you going? Where do you think I’m gonna get EJ to release trip and then I’m gonna shove his teeth down his throat. Okay. No, Steve, you can’t do that, do you? You cannot go talk to him. You just can’t. Why the hell not Ava

have my phone? Wait. Damn it. Oh. God put some water in my pocket when that jerk grabbed me. Did you see my phone anywhere? Hey, come on. Where do I get food? Maybe Xander’s right? Maybe Bonnie did fall. I’m gonna go look for her. The hell you are. It’s dark out there. Xander. Why don’t you, uh, offer to go? I was just going to, I.

Oh, Maggie did, did I just hear your phone? I think maybe you got a text. What? Oh, oh, it’s from Bonnie. Something came up, uh, with Mimi. She’s on her way to Chicago. Happy anniversary. Oh, well. At least we know she’s all right. Ugh. Can’t breathe again. Los Xander looks like it’s just gonna be the three of us. Oh, absolutely not.

It’s your anniversary. You don’t need a third wheel. You wouldn’t be Sandra, please stay. Have a nice romantic dinner, Sarah, and I’ll be in touch soon. We’ll set something up. Sandra, wait. Um, fix her. Don’t you wanna congratulate Sander on his new job, or do you wanna spend the night in the garden shift?

Sander, congratulations on your new job. Don’t be so enthused. It was fine. Maggie. Heartwarming. Thank you Uncle Victor. Have a lovely dinner. I’ll walk you out. Huh?

At least you broke the ice. You did. Thanks for trying. Oh, he’ll come around and even if the evening it didn’t turn out as planned, things are starting to look up for you and Sarah.

Appreciate her. What happened? What’s wrong? Sarah’s examining her now. Uh, we were at the pub talking and she’s fainted. What room is she? Sarah? Hi. She, uh, well, she’s much better. She’s alert and talking. Okay. Why, why does she faint? I’m thinking it’s low blood sugar. She said she hadn’t eaten much today. Um, but we drew some blood, so we should have some.

Can I see her? Yeah. Yeah.

I told Cook there would only be two of us for dinner. You know, after all these years. I still get tickled when I say cook. There’ll just be two for dinner.

Oh, I think he was a little disappointed. I’m not. Hmm. I can tell. Well, so sue me if I went you old to myself on our anniversary, Barry, you was the best thing that ever happened to me. Then I think this would be a very good time for you to echo the sentiment. It would only go to your head, which is already swollen enough, , even if it is the truth.

You know what we are, Maggie? Mm-hmm. Lucky. Mm. Damn lucky. Yeah.

You just thought I’d check on you too,

just as well, even though no one can hear you. Like I told you, people know I’m here.

You sent Maggie a text. You’ve been called away. Family emergency. So thinking up and made me, I’m on my way to Chicago. Happy anniversary. What? Are you gonna keep us in here forever? Look. As soon as our son pays up, you’ll both be out of here. Hopefully there’ll be any moment. Now you’re not going to get away with this.

It’s so stupid of you to deal with the deras. You know what? And the Cga family is now gonna come after you. Your life. Stupid is gonna suck in more ways than you can imagine. How do you know about Mimi? You know me. You know me.

Why don’t you want me to talk to e j? Because he’s furious with me. You know how vindictive he is, and if he finds out that I told you, who knows what he is gonna do to Chad, what is it? You’re not telling me nothing. You’re a. Steve, what the hell? Does it matter why or how this happened? Please just go find trip.

Please. Look, our son, he is a good guy. He’s just like his father and he doesn’t deserve this, Steve. He doesn’t deserve it. Of course, I’m gonna find our son and I’m gonna bring him back. Thank you. Thank you.

I was still with Eric in the office when you called. Uh, I just wanted to see if Jada was doing all right. Yeah, well, uh, Sarah said it was just low blood sugar. Oh. Eric’s in there with her.

Can I get you anything? I mean, do you want some water? I’m fine.

It’s a good thing that re was there when he fainted. Yeah, he was there. There. Jada, is there something wrong?

What’s, uh, what’s going on? Well, I wanted some privacy. Yeah. Um, to say I was sorry about.

I was making a big deal outta nothing. Mean the cover shoot. Like it’s just work, right?

No, Rafe, um, you are right.

It’s, it’s more than that. I, uh,

Just say it.

I, uh,

I wanna be with Eric.

Okay. So, Before I went to go see Rafe, I went somewhere else.

Hi. Oh, that was fast. Um, the lab hasn’t finished your full blood work panel yet, but I did get some preliminary results and I think I know why you painted. Really? Um, what is it? Eric, um, I think I should speak to Jada in private. Oh, um, sorry. No, it’s, it’s okay. I, I want him here.

Are you sure? Okay.

Oh my.

I’m pregnant.

Annas commissioned a new one, so Susan can be the sigh of relief. You can also tell your mother that it’s safe to come out behind in.

You know, I don’t want your next sandwich. Ronald McDonald. I got a whole plate full of catfish, nooks. Just wait for me at my son Elvis’s house. So why don’t you just let me go. Sorry, I can’t do that. Oh, but of course you can. My Elvis, he’s loaded. He’ll give you anything you want. Trust me.

I want you back with your son just as much as you want to be there. Cause you have to be patient. . It’s easy for you to say, Mr. Clown I, you’re not the one just tied up and sitting around with a bunch of gardening tools in horse manure. I do apologize for the setting. Why are you doing this? Mc clowns, you are supposed to bring Hess and joy, not fear and child you to be ashamed of yourself.

Mr. Clown, what kind of a miserable person does such a thing?

Thank you. There you go. . So tell me about Xander’s new job. Well, he was hired by a pharmaceutical startup called, uh, rednecks full-time. Mm-hmm. . Yes. I’m very proud of him. He worked really hard to get this job. Good friend him. Yeah. If I’m being honest, we really need the money. I didn’t realize things were.

Well, Xander racked up quite the bill at the Salem in, and I’m still only working part-time at the hospital until they can confirm that I am no longer suffering from what Kristen did to me. Hey, I’m sorry that things been tough. Oh no. It’s okay. Xander and I are in this together, so we will land on our feet.

I have no doubt. Thank you. And there are perks to working part. I get to do house calls. came back from one at Brady’s. Whoa. Is he sick? Nope. No. It, um, it was for Rachel. How was she? She’s okay. She had a major tummy ache, which I diagnosed as an over indulgence of Halloween candy. . . Yeah. I’ve suffered from that more than one time in my life.

Me too. . I’m poor.

How was it? You mean seeing and Rachel? Yeah. Uh, truthfully, I don’t think I’m ever gonna recover from losing her. I know what you’re thinking. It’s hard for me too. Yeah. And also, The Alexander to blame for it. Am I right? Yeah, yeah. You are.

Sushi delivery . Hi. Hey, you. I figured you’d be working through dinner, so I thought you might like some raw fish and maybe some company. Yes, please. Both counts. Come on, . So how was your night? Oh man. Pretty much craziness. Ever since the election. Why? What’s going on? You didn’t hear? No, I mean I’ve, I’ve been swamped mostly approving marketing copy for our upcoming collection.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. That and your, your new role, what do you mean? I mean, I heard your moonlighting is Arab’s top model.

Fuck. Hey York,

have you heard about Paulina Price? Yes. She got elected governor and I’d like to thank my vote. Helped. Mm-hmm. , that’s the old news I’m talking about after the election. What do you mean? Maggie? Her daughter got arrested for murder, knowing that, I don’t understand. Lonnie was arrested last summer for murder?

No, no, no. Not Lonnie, the other daughter. Shut down. Yes, that’s the murder. Oh, how awful. And on the night her mother was elected governor. Oh, Helena must be just beside herself. It’s mother’s worst nightmare. Let me tell you. I, I’m. Xander, he’s your husband now, not to mention I’m the one who encouraged you to forgive him after switching those babies.

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still be angry with him. That would make me a hypocrite. Don’t you think that would make you human, painfully human? What? Sandra did hurt us both very deeply. I didn’t think I was ever gonna be able to get. I’m glad you did, for your sake. Well, you’re the reason that I was able to let go of that pain and anger.

You helped me see the kind of man that Vander’s capable of being a good and decent man and that I am very proud to call my husband.

Are you proud of your chef, Mr. Cloud? Hmm? You proud of your. What, why are you doing this to me? What? What? What’s in it for you? Huh? Ask for me. Are you a man or are you a clown?

EJ again, no Alexander. The answer is call either. All these men keep trying to tell you what to do. Yeah. Including you. I make my own decisions. Hello? What took you so long to answer. Will you relax? Relax. It’s easy for you to save. How much long do I have to hold onto her? Just a little while longer. And how long is a little while?

The woman is scared and hungry. Okay. So I feed her, I tried that. All she wants is catfish nuggets. Well, that’s not my problem, actually. Is your problem, Ava? You said this would be quick and easy. You get the money We give her back. No harm, no foul. Okay. That’s still the plan. Just calm. Stay the course. Stop trying to handle me, Eva.

I have a life, a future, and if you don’t finish this, I will. Oh wait. Hey, hey. What does that mean? It means get me my money or I’ll let Susan Banks go. Okay. Listen, Zander. Zander.

My mother, she tried to warn me that someone was after me, but I thought, I thought it was Johnny John. Why would Johnny be after you? He was very angry when I sent a away. Oh. And apparently she’s even angrier because I exposed her for the fraud. She really is. Ever since I proved that she wasn’t actually married to our late brother, she’s been lying and.

Get her revenge and she’s using your mother to exact it. I should have locked up that mongrel when I had the chance, put her ass in Statesville, and now my poor mother is the one paying the price.

Okay. You’re upset that I got pulled into that Bella photo shoot. I, I just would’ve liked to have heard about it from you and not one of my detectives. One of your detectives who happens to be dating Eric? No agenda there. Okay. Okay. Listen to me. Jada did not do anything wrong. This, this is just another example of a lack of communication between you and me, honey.

I was gonna tell you. Okay. Why didn’t you? Well, because it, it just happened. Something came up with one of the models that we hired, and so Alex Kakkis asked me to step in. Mm-hmm. and, and, but you’re absolutely right. I should have told you first thing and now,

Now there is something that I want you to hear from me. Okay. Actually, something that I wanna show you.

What. Why? Why am I looking at a photo of my wife draped all over her ex-husband? Like I said, this was Alex’s idea, and at first it was supposed to be a. Brady and me, and then he thought it would be better if it was Eric. Why? Why would it be better? Well, because according to Alex, I didn’t have any chemistry with Brady.

Oh, that is great. Great. So you and Eric, you guys are just crackling with it, huh? No, I mean, it’s all subjective, right? Who has chemistry? Who doesn’t? But Alex side, didn’t he? Great? Of course he did. You know what? Because everyone in this damn town is seen. So why don’t you, why don’t you just stop trying to hide from me the fact that you and.

Still have feelings for each other.

You know? You are kind of an inspiration. I am. Yeah. You’re an example of forgiveness, perseverance. I mean, after everything you and Xander have gone through, you’ve never stopped loving him. Well, except for when it wasn’t me. That doesn’t count. . Well, thank you for ruling on that. Mm-hmm. . What about you? What about me, son?

I know how long it took for you to get over. Nicole, how’s it going with Jada? It’s early. Mm-hmm. . I like being around her. I think she would say the same thing about me. Mm. Well, well see. That’s pretty important. Enjoying your partner’s company can come in handy if you’re ever, I don’t know. Sharing a roach infested hotel room, huh?

Hmm. , nothing. Nevermind. Listen, I must admit, I still have a little anger towards Sander, even though I’m working very hard. If I’m forgiveness for him. I appreciate that. I’m spent a lifetime preaching forgiveness, telling people that it’s not a one-time thing. It’s a, it’s a continuing process. Well, If it’s any help, I can promise that Xander is truly changed.

He’s not the same man that let us believe in other couple’s baby belonged to us. I know that he will never do something that terrible again. Good news, you should be going home soon. Oh, thank the Lord for small favors. Oh, did you get in touch with my Elvis? Is he gonna send a cowry after? You didn’t concern yourself with the details.

Yeah. I just have to ask you one thing, Mr. Clam, how do you live with yourself? I bet your mom was just so disappointed in you. My mother is a drunken train wreck, so I really don’t give a damn what she thinks. Sure. And there’s gotta be showing that matters to you. You got a wife, I mean, how does she feel about her man being a dirty, low down kidnapper?

I can’t believe that Xander is making Sarah move to a Fleabag hotel because Victor called him a loser. Uh, he’s a proud man . Proud Schmid. Victor’s mean to me all the time. And I put up with cranky mats because, hello? The amenities here. Hello? Yeah. Well, you know how stubborn teriyaki man can be. Well, do I ever, I’ll tell you.

Victor and Justin had an hour long stare down over which movie to watch on Peacock

I’m sorry, Maggie, I, I shouldn’t be bragging on your husband. You know, I just think he’s a hoop. No, it’s okay. I know you put up with a lot from him. Do you know it’s my anniversary time. Oh, honey. Really? Yeah, I married Victor 11 years ago to the day, Maggie. Yeah. Congratulations. Are you, gosh, what are you guys doing to celebrate?

Oh, just Victor and I were just gonna just, just be together if, were you not doing anything with family? Well, I can’t, I can’t see my daughter. Or my son-in-law because of Xander’s, ridiculous. Qui with Victor. That’s not right. No, no, no, no, no. Those two need to make a move on. Well, they can’t because they won’t even talk to each other.

You know what, mag pie, I think you should let Bon Bon handle this one. Well, that’s very sweet of you to care so much, but

do you really think you can fix this? I know I can. I’ll get this family back on track. You just watch and see

has this vital woman, she made a ransom demand. Ah, no idea. She told me to await further. Ah, she’s tying with you. You know, we should get the police involved. I don’t think that’s a good idea. Tommy, listen, I’m aware that you hate Ray Fernandez, but if we could use the department’s resources, I’m sure that he’d be more than willing to help, especially after what Ava did to him.

Maybe you are right. Perhaps I should bring Reef into this

is my mother. All right. Oh, well. Hello to you too, ej. Yeah, she’s fine for now. You ready to hear my demands?

Why the hell is it taking you so long to get back to me? Oh, I would watch my tone if I were you. Well that is if you ever want your kids to see their southern FRA granny again, I swear to you, if you do anything to harm my mother, there will be no safe place on a FU to hide from me. AJ wanna antagonize her.

The hell I don’t. You realize you’re in no position to make any threats. We are the ones making the threats. I’m the one calling the shots. Just tell me what you want. I thought you’d never. Well, in exchange for the safe return of your mother, you are going to give me 20 million.

Oh. You do have a wife. I didn’t say that. Oh, you didn’t have to. I know things. Oh yeah. I was warned. You’re psychic . I am . Did you make you nervous? I believe in all that nonsense. Oh, I assure you missed a clown. It most certainly is not non. You see, the universe has blessed me with the gift of Second Son, and that’s how you knew I was married.

Now tell me you’re wearing your wedding ring.

The one and only. Is everything okay with Mom and Victor? Well, um, not exactly what, uh, what’s wrong? Well, honey, I hate to be the bear of bad news, but your mom is in a right state. Did she say why? Well, you do know today is your mom on Victor’s wedding anniversary, right? Oh my God, I totally forgot. Yeah.

Well I figured with all the fussing and fighting between Xander and Victor that it had well, slept your mind. She told you about that. Well, honey, we live in the same house. It’s . Kinda hard to miss. Um, but tonight you and Victor and Xander are all gonna put that behind you. Okay, you’re gonna grab your hunky husband and you’re gonna come up here to the mansion for dinner.

Oh, well, I was, um, just about to order dinner for one at the pub and, and Xander’s working late. Honey, you could have Roman Brady’s warmed up chowder any day tonight. You and Zander are dining with family. It is high time to carry out this plant gathered under one roof, and your mother and Victor’s anniversary is the perfect time to do it.

Okay? Okay. Got it. Good. See you later. Bye-Bye.

Hey, do you decide what you want? Um, well, uh, change of. Looks like I’m going to be playing referee all night, honey. It was just a photo shoot. I know what it was. Nicole, I’m not sure you do. I, I mean, you’re assuming that Eric and I wanted to be on the cover together, which we did not. And like I said, this was Alex’s idea.

He insisted, why are you looking at me like. Because I wish that you would respect me enough to stop trying to gaslight me. What? Stop. I wouldn’t do that. You’re acting like I am not seeing what is right in front of me. Could you just listen to me? Please? Please. Okay. Eric and I were told to. Act like we were attracted to each other, and that’s what we did.

Modeling is acting. I was playing a role, honey, what you are seeing here is just pictures. That’s it. Picture, yeah. Pictures. Pictures, yeah. Pictures of my wife looking like she wants to tear the clothes off of R’s husband.

Look, I, I knew doing the photo shoot was a bad idea. I should have trusted my instinct.

Why didn’t you?

Because. Alex wouldn’t take no for an answer, and I got caught up in the excitement of modeling. Again. You know what this, this isn’t even about the pictures.

It’s about us. Our marriage,

this stupid photo shoots just forces us to face the real issue.

There’s no issue.

I need you to be honest with me.

I need you to be honest with yourself.

This thing between you and Harry never really went away, did it?

How many times do I have to tell you, Eric is in my past? You are my present and my future. I have a husband and Eric has a girlfriend, and there’s, there’s nothing romantic between us anymore. I mean, we’re friends. Yes, we work together. Yes, but that’s it. End of story.

I hear you, bud, about what?

But it sounds to me like you’re not just trying to convince me. You’re trying to convince yourself.

Oh, oh good. Maggie. Um, do you like salmon or the uh, uh, that fish I can never remember the name of. Quick wants to know what I mean. You know what? Nevermind. We’ll have salmon. Okay. What is this all about? Well, it’s about the dinner party that I am throwing in honor of your. Really? Yes. Really the dinner party to which Zander and Sarah will be attending.

Really? Yes. They’re great to call me. Yes. I told you I could pull it off. it. Oh, that’s wonderful. You really are a miracle worker, Bonnie Honey. I do do it. Well, I know sweat. I mean, I just told Sarah that it was important to you and she agreed that the occasion was very important, so she’ll talk Sandra into it.

Oh, you really are a miracle. I’m so impressed. . So is Justin attending? Um, well, unfortunately, no. He is in Arizona visiting the twins. But on the bright side, when Sandra and Victor are reunited, they will give this family so much more to celebrate. We’re all back together again. Right. Oh, well, let’s just hope the boys behave themselves tonight.

Lying to myself pretending that I’m over you, pretending that I’m not jealous of you and Jada. I’m trying to do the right thing. I’m just trying to, I’m trying to give you the space and I try to respect your marriage.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

A good table tonight. It down will Better. Please go.

Hi

Chad. Paulina just gave me the rest of the night off, so you’re a free man. Great. I’m glad I could have you ready? Yes, just in time for our reservation bistro. Thanks again for your help, Chad. Couldn’t have done it.

Hmm. Enjoy your victory while you can Ms. Price.

Well, I have to say this has got to rate as one of the best days in my life. . I feel the same way and that is why we are about to have a great celebration. Yes, champagne included my treat. . Hi Sean. Oh well. Oh, almost my, so serious detective with something wrong. Yeah. As a matter of fact, there is, I need Chanel to come down the station.

Well, why, what forward? I have a warrant for her arrest? Uh, is this some kind of joke? Afraid it’s not. She now the pre, you’re under arrest and suspicion of murder.

Aren’t you thirsty? I am having second thoughts actually. What? It is Too late for that. Oh, come on Jackson. It’s gonna be a fun night. I promise. Not just fun but memorable. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. Happy tears. Of course. We’ll take goofy selfies and post them to our socials. No we won’t. Fine, then we will laugh and cry and eat the Chile sea bass here to die for.

It’s very expensive, by the way. $46. But the sky’s the limit. Again with that look. What, what? Just wanna make sure you actually brought your wallet. Of course. I brought my wallet. Why would you even ask that? Just in case we having, uh, an oopsy moment when the check comes. Oh, ye of little faith. Prepare to have your shallow preconceptions of me shattered Jackson Kakkis.

See, I got an advance in my salary. It’s bringing a hole in my pocket. Well, look who it is. Oh God. What are you? What are you doing here? Did you bring him here as some kind of threat? He’s headed in for me since the night you were stabbed. Relax, Leo. I didn’t come here for you.

I came here for her.

Where’s your partner in crime? Oh, you mean my partner in crime fighting? Yeah. Despite your best efforts, our client won our election and is off celebrating. Well, you’re drowning your sorrows with martini sorrows. Oh, no, no, no honey. I’m the one who’s celebrating. But you lost. Good boy. You are way behind with times.

Oh, looking for someone? Uh, yeah, I thought my husband would be here. Oh, you shouldn’t be long. If you just wanna wait. I just sent him out with an arrest warrant. Wish he should be serving right about. Now

murder. What? No. There there must be some kind of mistake. No. No. Afraid there isn’t a mistake. It’s gonna be okay, baby. Well, what is this all about, John? Honestly, I don’t know. It’s the DA’s idea. So Trask put you up to this. Yeah. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney. You cannot afford one for you. No Ms. Price. Madam Governor, like is this true? Do you have any comments?

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

This is one defeat. You can’t spin, counselor, you have nothing left to blackmail. Poll price with not that Stephanie gave her the original. Yeah, that’s what Alex did with it. Didn’t realize he was moonlighting for sj p r. They’re friends. Friends, right. Anyway, Alex stole my file, so I stole it right back from him.

What are you talking about? I owe it on prize’s new system, Leo Stark one, and only thanks to him I got access into Paulina’s Safe and the information that rightfully belonged to me.

I knew you didn’t come here to palm me then why were you just hiding behind Sunny like a human shield. I was just trying to lighten the moment. I mean, you’re not mad at me anymore about what happened to your brother? Leo, I don’t know how to break this to you, but I don’t think about you at all, especially when I have much, much more pleasant things to dwell on.

Oh, charmer, he sure is. Well, we would invite you to join us, but Sunny and I have lots to talk about. Mm, no we don’t. Yes we do. No, we don’t. Yes, we do. Hey, how if he gets too handsy, I will. Thanks. You know, your brother could afford to show more respect. Oh, yeah. And why would he? Why would he do that? Isn’t it obvious I am a key member of our new governor’s team?

I’d go as far as to say I’ve made myself indispensable to her. You may wanna record the news tonight. Your husband’s bound to be all over the coverage. Coverage of what? Wait, who did he go arrest? I am so glad you asked. You see, camera crews are gonna be there to document Paulina Price’s, historic victory, but they’re also gonna bear witness.

So the governor elects very first scandal. Wait. This is about Paul . My guess is she won’t even make it to inauguration day before she has to resign. You’ve sent Sean to arrest Paul for what? Sadly, Ms. Price is not the subject of the warrant. But our new governor has worked really hard to cover up the heinous crime committed by her daughter.

Remove those handcuffs. Now, this is an outrage. What is happening? Oh, don’t you worry. Don’t you worry, baby. Is it? Let her go. You get away from my baby. I can’t do that. I’m sorry. Here, Colleen, do not interfere. Okay, well, I’m going to interfere this. This doesn’t make any sense. Murder Uncle Sean. There’s no way.

Governor Elect Price. Did you know there was a warrant for your daughter? Mayor Carver, do you have any comment on your stepdaughter’s arrest? Who was the victim? All right, come on, come on. Let’s get you down. Mr. Priest, Chanel, do you have any comment? She has no comment, but I can tell you this is a mistake and a travesty.

Mama, I thought, look, no, baby, don’t you say, don’t you say anything. Don’t you say anything. I promise you this will all, this will all be okay. Chanel give.

Hi, Holly. Holly. Let’s go this way. Let’s go this way. Come on, come on.

Uh, well, I guess a toast to your boss to winning the election. Cheers. Okay. What’s with the lousy mood? All of a sudden, tell your snarky brothers comment, hurt my feelings. You have feeling. Ha ha. Hilarious. This is a serious question, which I’m not gonna dignify with an answer. Look, I know I’ve screwed up in the past, but I’m doing my damnedest to make amends to the people I’ve heard trying to make a decent living, trying to be a productive member of the Salem community, and he.

Treats me like I’m gum on the bottom of his shoe. You can’t blame him for being a little curious as to why he invited me out here. As a matter of fact, I am too. I told you why. If you hadn’t recognized Clyde Weston’s cologne and identified him as your attacker, I’d be in prison right now. Great. I’m very glad that the right person was punished.

But you didn’t have to take me out to dinner. I know. I didn’t have to. I wanted to and we have a history after all. You gone what? What should I not bring up our past that we used to be married? It is kind of a big deal. Yes, but it doesn’t make the case that you think it does. Leo. Sing as you know, uh, you blackmailed me.

So using the term married to describe what we were makes me a bit queasy. I only blackmailed you after you and will thought you killed me and rolled my body up in a rug to dispose of fine. None of that would’ve happened if you hadn’t gone after me and Will in the first place.

Well, this is fun. Yes. We haven’t even worked at appetizers yet.

Is it mirror? Are things getting tense over there? You know, I’m not sure Sonny even knows why he’s here. It’s not a date isn’t. No. No. God no. Sunny and will are solid, but hey, let’s just, let’s ignore them. Let’s focus on our big night. And it is a big night. Mm-hmm. , isn’t it? Mm-hmm. . Ah. Hearing those election results felt even better than I thought it would.

You made that happen. Oh, I was a small part. Would you please, please stop being so humble. Okay. A medium sized part. And so were you, thank you again for hitting that file from Sloan. I know you felt like you were betraying her. If that’s all it took to garnish a date with you, I’d do it all over again. I am sorry, and I take that back.

I’m not gonna be that guy again. What guy? The guy that just comes on too strong and pushes way too hard. Calling this a date would be, um, presumptuous maybe, but. What if it is a day?

So you still think I’m bluffing fine, but don’t come crying to me whenever all hell breaks loose. Which should be any moment now, by the way.

Okay, so you have the. What’s your number?

You wanna buy the file back? Name me a price. You’ll have it tonight. I guess. I can’t blame you for thinking that Paulina can buy her way out of this one, but you humiliated me. You used someone that I cared about to get what you wanted,

so you forced me to up the. What are you talking about? It means that Paul is about to get what’s coming to her, and she will have no one to blame, but you and Stephanie,

I guess this Samir Carver, but I want you to get security to escort the reporters away from Ms. Price’s door. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, why did you drag me in here when you know Chanel needs me? Those reporters out there are the reason you are going to be swamped. We’re just lucky your office is right off the square.

I’m so lucky. Look, I’m worried about unless you are, but this isn’t about her. She was arrested for murder, but this story isn’t about her. This is about you. The governor elect those reporters out there, they are going to ask you questions. You don’t have the answers for ’em, or maybe you do.

You’re arresting Chanel. For what? You know that warrant your husband is currently serving? I don’t think I’ve ever had an easier time having a judge sign off on be. Oh, nice work Detective. How’d it go? You know exactly how it went. I’ve got uniforms out front trying to keep the reporters at bay. Oh, I’m sure they have so many questions and I hope all those photographers got you.

Good side. Mr. Pree, uh, you know why you’re here, right? Actually, Chanel, you don’t have to say anything. Let’s get her down to booking so I can start questioning her. Yeah. Sean, what is going on? I, I don’t know. I don’t know all the details, but I’ll fill you in later. Okay. Come on.

Okay, look. Can we start over? Leo, why don’t we just get the check and leave the check For what? We haven’t ordered anything. No, but we got the drinks and actually waiter. Sunny. Stop. Stop. The last thing I wanted to do tonight was.

Looking back, I’m sure there are things that we both regret. That we both regret. No, I don’t regret a damn thing. Okay, fine. Well, there are things that I regret, but we also have had our fun, right? No. No, we did not. Well, it’s never been boring. Can you at least say that?

Okay. I’ll give you that one. I just want us to get along. Thank God. What? It’s not that I don’t think you want to get along Leo, but you always have some ulterior motive, an angle, and if by chance you are looking for another sugar daddy, I wanna make it very, very clear that this ring I’m wearing, it means a lot to me.

You think I asked you out to try and seduce you and take your money? I’m not not thinking it Well, I am beyond hurt and insulted, which is something I’m very used. Besides, I don’t need a sugar daddy. I have a great job. Now then what do you want? Friendship. Seriously? You say that like it’s some insane fantasy.

Like, who does Leo Stark think he is trying to have friends? Okay. No, that’s, that’s not what I meant. Yes it is. Yes it is. It’s fine.

The truth is I don’t have very many friends. It’s distressing. Yes, there’s Gwenny whom I adore, but I don’t have a single gay male friend in Salem. Not one. And you want me to be the one? Well, Sonny, you’re successful, you’re popular, you’re funny, which is very important to me because I’m hilarious and have been told many times that I should do standup.

My point is maybe you have no idea what it’s like to be lonely, but I’ll give you a window. It sucks.

What are you not telling me? Paulina Abraham. I heard Chanel say something. I know what you’re thinking. That your wife is keeping yet another secret from you that thought had entered my. I really believed I had this under control. And what? Under control? Oh, look, Paulina. Paulina, I want to help you, but I can’t help you if I don’t know what this is.

And there’s no time to waste if Chanel is going to be charged with murder. So, Please for the sake of your daughter.

I was being blackmailed for something Chanel did when she was younger and the blackmailer said I had to pay up or, or the police would find out the truth. I hired Stephanie Johnson to handle it. That thought she was your campaign manager? Yes. Yes, but it was more than that. The proof was in a file and Stephanie, she, she got it back for me and, you know, the, the blackmail was over.

Chanel was safe. At least I thought she was. So what did you do with this file? Well, I put it somewhere where no one could get to it. I just, I don’t even understand how this all got out of control. Who is it? Who was blackmailing you? Sloan Peterson. That witch. What did you do? Only would I had been threatening to do from the very beginning if I didn’t get what I was asking for.

You went to the cops even better, I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear that Da Trask was very, very interested in the contents of that file.

Come on. Come on, answer.

Pharrell, you’d be willing to to date, because up until now everything you’ve said has been pretty much the opposite. I. And I had my reasons, but maybe it’s time to rethink those reasons. That is the best news that I’ve heard all year long.

It’s Chad,

do you need to take that? I’ll, I’ll give you some privacy. Um, No, no. I’m here with you. Notifications are silenced. Look at you. Look at me. Election’s over. Hmm. I deserve a night without alerts. Work is done for the day. You sure? Yeah. Whenever it is. It can wait. Right now I have something more important to focus on.

Cheers to that

Sam Bell. Allie, I was just trying to call you. Have you seen Chanel? Yeah, Sean just brought her through. I tried to follow, but I fight through all these reporters. Is she, is she locked up already? Oh no, she’s still here in the station. They just took her down to booking. Gosh, she must be so scared and there’s nothing I can do.

Do you know what this is about? No. No. Paulina had just finished her victory speech. Everything was great, and then all of a sudden Sean showed up with a warrant, said the charges were murder. Wait, what? Murder? How can that be?

Okay. Now turn to the right.

Sounds like you’re getting a lot of alerts. Something in the news. Dana Ste. Why aren’t you picking up? No, I guess she’s busy. I’ll know where she is. Good luck. You’ll need it.

This girl. I don’t know how she did it, but somehow Sloan got into my safe and she stole back the evidence. How’d she get her hands on that evidence in the first place? Well, she’s representing some mystery clients. You wouldn’t tell me who and, and, and, uh, the evidence was just sitting in. I plan to shred everything, but I haven’t had a moment alone since I got my hands on it.

So if the DA was able to secure a warrant yes. For Chanel’s arrest, that means Melinda Trask has that file right now. Oh, and she hates me, says I strong armed her into giving Lonnie that plea. So you think she’s taking it out on Chanel? Oh, I know she is. Oh my poor baby. I need to go see my daughter. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Until we have a plan. Until we have a plan, we have to keep our distance from post reporters. What we need to sit here. We need to do something. Look, I. One step at a time. We cannot help Chanel until we have a plan, and until you tell me what she did.

Stephanie, Chad, why are you doing here? Why are you ignoring my calls? Hey, we’re in the middle of something here, bud. Right? Um, sorry, I’m, I’m sorry to interrupt. I, I, I really am, but you need to check your phone. Why, what’s going on?

You’re serious, aren’t you? About wanting a friend. Why would I joke about that? Because literally everything is a joke to you, Leo. You enjoy nothing more than making someone look like a total idiot. That’s how you see me. Is there any other way? So I like to keep people laughing because, like I said, being funny.

It’s my greatest talent. And yes, I enjoy scandalizing people by being outrageous because it keeps them at a distance. But you know where that gets you right here with somebody thinking that you’re playing a prank when you’re trying to reveal a piece of your heart to.

I’m sorry. It’s fine. It’s my own fault. I act like a clown. I don’t expect people to look beneath the surface level. I just didn’t expect you to be like everybody else.

When did this happen? Right after Paulina gave her victory. How did this happen? I’m still trying to sort all that out, but I just ran into, uh, Toone and she was all too happy to let me know what she did. She got the documents back and she used them. Wait, but that’s impossible. But how did she get him out?

Polina Safe

said he helped. So bitch. Oh, Alex, what are you doing? Hey, get up. Huh? Get up. What? What did you do? You little rat.

I wanna help Chanel so bad, but I don’t even know who to call. I’ve never felt this helpless. It’s gonna be okay girl. Help any way I can.

Where Sonnel is she? Okay? Transcos are in interrogation. She wants to be the one to do the initial. Chanel’s by herself. That can’t be good. Well, this is what trash does. Make the arrest publicly, catch the suspect off guard, rush them through booking. She wants Chanel to be scared and desperate, so she’ll say whatever she needs to say to get outta that room.

Sean, you have to help her please.

It’s just you and me right now. Miss D. And, and I need you to understand that the truth is your only way through this, the truth. All right, let’s stop this right now. Excuse me, but you’re not allowed to be in here Chanel. Do you want representation? Huh? Do you want my help? Do you want me to be your lawyer?

Yes. Good. This interrogation at, so.

You might wanna think twice about that. Chanel Mrs. Brady’s been hanging around the station tonight. Do you really wanna trust your fate in the hands of an ambulance chaser? Chanel has stated her preference for counsel, so anything you wanna say to her, you say through me, it’s not too late to change your mind.

She’s my lawyer now. There you go, Ms. Trus. I’d like a few minutes to confer with my client, so if you wouldn’t mind, or even if you do mind,

Allie was really afraid that you were gonna be in here alone. But listen, you are. Alone anymore.

Detective, don’t you have an arrest report to write up? I’ll get to it. Why are you doing this? I’m just doing my job, Allie. But if you know something, then you can help your friend by making a statement. Just leave it alone. Okay. I’m just trying to be helpful by arresting Chanel in front of half the town.

Chanel’s not doing herself any favors in there. Okay. You might think that letting Bell take over is a good idea, but I’m just trying to get to the truth. Well, I don’t know anything, and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you my girlfriend is not a murderer and you know this because, because I would know like, I’m sorry, Allie, but that’s what we call misplaced loyalty.

Right. She’s been keeping a very big secret from you from every. That’s all gonna come out now.

Alex, take it easy. Just tell me what you did, Leo. Tell me what you did. Just tell me who you’re working for. Don’t lie. I don’t lie. Call Le Price. Get off me. Admit it. Just admit it. What did you do? Wait, wait. How am I supposed to admit anything? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let him go, Alice. Yeah, please.

It’s okay. Glad I wasn’t being paranoid before. Hey, Can we just, what’s going on? Okay. Leo, did Sloan Peterson go to Paulina’s office today? What? Answer the question. What? I, yeah. I, I, I owe Sloan some money, but what does my business with Sloan have Anything to do with you? It doesn’t, except when your business is stabbing.

Our friends in the back,

I just can’t believe that Chanel’s been carrying this. Burden around for so long. You too. Oh, babe, I’m, I’m so sorry for keeping this from you, and please don’t, don’t hate me for lying to you yet again.

I.

And I get why, oh, you kept this hidden. This wasn’t your secret to tell. You understand. I’ll do anything I can to help you and your daughter. Thank you. Thank you, Abraham. Thank you.

Kicking the DA out of here doesn’t mean that she’s going away for good. She’s gonna wanna sit with you and she’s gonna have a lot of tough questions, but the good news is I’ll be here to make sure you don’t say anything that’s gonna hurt yourself. Okay. Thank you. Now, Allie said that your arrest came as a surprise to.

was it a surprise to you, or did you see it coming? No, I, I thought it was all over. That Mama was helping, helping make it go away? Well, that she had this file, the one that Ms. Trask has now. What’s in the file? I am supposed to tell you everything. Actually, you know, it’s probably better if you don’t give me the details.

The police still have to show me what they have, and it’s probably better that I see that without any preconceptions. They have that file, then they have everything they need. So you’ve seen what’s in that file. Mama, show me a copy. Okay. Chanel, I want you to understand that in a court of law, it’s not always about the.

It’s about what they can prove is true. Okay.

What documents I, I don’t understand, and what does this have to do with Paul and Hiss daughter? Just tell us what happened when Sloane was in the office. Why is this important? Just tell them everything. Leo, I already told you. She showed up because she wanted money. Did you give it to her? Well, it wasn’t that simple.

I didn’t have any cash. Paul had promised me in advance and I wanted to get rid of Sloan, so, so you opened Paulina Safe, the combination was just sitting there. You opened it in front of Sloan. Well, how else was I supposed to get the money out? I took what I needed and I closed it right back up. Obviously not.

She said you helped her. What? No, no, I didn’t help her do anything. Did you turn your back for even a second? No.

Oh geez. Answer the question, Leo,

maybe. Okay. You’re gonna have to do better than that. Well, I, I had to count the money. Right. And we know that staying focused is in my strong suit, neither’s Math. Well, congratulations, Leo, you just destroyed your boss’s career and her daughter’s life.

Uh huh. Well, thank you for the update.

They’ve cleared out most of the reporters. Just a few stragglers left, hoping to catch a sound bite from you. Hmm. Which they’ll twist and use against my Chanel. Well, don’t say anything for now. Why? Need to get down to the station. Look, why don’t we, why don’t we call down there and check. It it We’ll see if Ali knows what’s going on, huh?

Yes. Good idea. Good idea. Oh,

Helen El, are you at the station? I’m here. Where are you? Um, in my office. Trying to avoid the press. How’s my baby? Have you seen her? No. She’s in the interrogation. Oh my God. She’s all alone in there. No, she’s not alone. Um, my Aunt Bell’s in there. I think she’s taking on the case. Oh, thank God. Thank God.

Well, if you see her, you tell her to hold on. Okay. Tell her mama is coming.

So for now, you just stay quiet and you let me do all the talking. Okay. Oh, it’s Allie. She’s out in the station and she said she just spoke to your mom and she’s on her way soon. I can’t believe this happened on our election night. Well, they obviously planned it that way.

I trust that you and your shiny new client are getting to know each other, but I still have questions that need to be. Well, they’ll have to wait. It’s been a long night and I still need to see your evidence . Okay, you wanna stall? Fine, but since it’s too late for an arraignment, it’s also too late for a bail hearing, meaning your client is gonna be our guest for the night downstairs in the lockup.

Detective, please escort our newest guest down to recorders for the evening. Uh, Chanel, everything is gonna be okay, Sean. We’ll keep you safe and I’ll have you out in the morning. Okay, here we go.

Best Cuffer before you walk her down there as befits a murder suspect.

I really got Paul and his daughter in trouble, huh? Yeah. Looks pretty bad or kid. Well, Alex seems to think whatever happened that I did it on purpose. And did you What? I would never do anything to Paulina or Chanel. If Sloan stole something from Paulina Safe, she did it while I wasn’t looking. You believe me, right.

God help me. But yeah. Yeah, I do.

I can’t stay here any longer. I need to be with my daughter. Look, I know that. And I would do my best to shield you from those reporters. So are you ready for this? Oh, I have to be. We’ll get through it together.

All right. Let’s go.

Well, now we know Sloane used Leo to get that file. Are we sure he wasn’t working for her? I don’t know. So we should probably get started on this right away. Yeah. I’m sorry, Alex, but I have to go. My phone is going to explode if I don’t at least release a statement and I need to go find Paulina. Yeah, of course.

Oh, we’ll do this again another time. I’d like that a lot

you. Yeah, let’s go.

Congratulations, madam Governor Elect, Mr. Mayor, you both won hard fought elections. But I wonder at what price? What are you doing here? Are you here to glute something like that? Paulina, you know, it would’ve been so much cheaper for you just to pay me when I asked, but now the whole world is gonna know what Chanel did and how you covered it up.

Well, here’s what I. That you are a miserable, heartless cow. Now get outta my way. I’ve gotta go see my daughter

snow. Oh my God. I’m so sorry. Don’t touch the prisoner. Oh, she’s not a prisoner detective. This contact is inappropriate. Whatever you need, I’m here for you. Okay. I love. I love you too, Chelsea Brady. Take her away.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Aren’t you thirsty? I am having second thoughts actually. What? It is Too late for that. Oh, come on Jackson. It’s gonna be a fun night. I promise. Not just fun but memorable. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. Happy tears. Of course. We’ll take goofy selfies and post them to our socials. No, we. Fine. Then we will laugh and cry and eat the Chilean sea bass here to die for.

It’s very expensive, by the way. $46. But this sky’s the limit baby. Again with that. Look what? Look, just wanna make sure you actually brought your wallet. Of course. I brought my wallet. Why would you even ask that? Just in case we having, uh, an Oopsy moment when the check. Oh ye of little faith prepared to have your shallow preconceptions of me shattered Jackson Kakkis.

See, I got an advance in my salary. It’s bringing a hold in my pocket. Well, look who it is. Oh God. What are you? What are you doing here? Did you bring him here as some kind of threat? He’s headed in for me since the night you were stabbed. Relax, Leo. I didn’t come here for you.

I came here for her.

Where’s your partner in crime? Oh, you mean my partner in crime fighting? Yeah. Despite your best effort. It’s our client won our election and is off celebrating. Well, you’re drowning your sorrows with martini sorrows. Oh, no, no, no honey. I’m the one who’s celebrating. But you lost. Good boy. You are way behind with times.

Oh, looking for someone? Uh, yeah, I thought my husband would be here. Oh, you shouldn’t be long. If you just wanna wait. I just sent him out with an arrest warrant. Wish he should be serving right about. Now

murder? What? No. There there must be some kind of mistake. No. No. Afraid there isn’t a mistake. It’s gonna be okay, baby. Well, what is this all about, John? Honestly, I don’t know. It was the DA’s idea. So trash put you up to this. Yeah. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to, an attorney cannot afford one. I will provide for you. No Ms. Price and Adam. Governor, like is this true? Do you have any comments?

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

This is one defeat. You can’t spin, counselor, you have nothing left to blackmail. Poll price with not that Stephanie gave her the original. Yeah. That’s what Alex did with it. Didn’t realize he was moonlighting for sj p r. They’re friends. Friends, right. Anyway, Alex stole my file, so I stole it right back from him.

What you talking about? I owe it on a surprises new system, Leo Stark, but one and only thanks to him I got access into Pauline’s Safe and the information that rightfully belonged to.

I knew you didn’t come here to pumble me, then why were you just hiding behind sunny like a human shield? I was just trying to lighten the moment. I mean, you’re not mad at me anymore about what happened to your brother, right? Leo? I don’t know how to break this to you, but I don’t think about you at all, especially when I have much, much more pleasant things to dwell on.

Oh, he’s a sharmer. He sure is. Well, we would invite you to join us, but Sunny and I have lots to talk about. Mm-hmm. No, we don’t. Yes we do. No, we don’t. Yes we do. Hey, holler. If it gets too handsy, I will. Thanks. You know, your brother could afford to show more respect. Oh yeah. And why would he do that? Why would he do that?

Isn’t it obvious I am a key member of our new governor’s? I’d go as far as to say I’ve made myself indispensable to her. You may wanna record the news tonight. Your husband’s bound to be all over the coverage. Coverage of what? Wait. Who did he go arrest? I am so glad you asked. You see, camera crews are gonna be there to document Paulina Price’s historic victory, but they’re also gonna bear witness to the governor.

Elect’s very first scandal. Wait. This is about Paul. My guess is she won’t even make it to inauguration day before she has to resign. You’ve sent Sean to arrest Paul for what? Sadly, Ms. Price is not the subject of the warrant. But our new governor has worked really hard to cover up the heinous crime committed by her daughter.

Remove those handcuffs. Now. This is an outrage. You look what is happening. Oh, don’t you worry. Don’t you worry, baby. Is it? Let her go. You get away from my baby. I can’t do that. I’m sorry. Do not interfere. Okay, well, I’m going to interfere this. This doesn’t make any sense. Murder Uncle Sean. There’s no way. I don’t.

Governor Elect Price. Did you know there was a warrant for your daughter’s arrest? Mayor Carver, do you have any comment on your stepdaughter’s arrest? Who was the victim? All right, come on, come on. Let’s get you down. Mr. Priest, Chanel, do you have any comment? She has no comment, but I tell you this. Steak and a travesty.

Mama, I thought, look, no, baby, don’t you say, don’t you say anything. Don’t you say anything. I promise you this will all, this will all be okay. Come,

let’s go. Let’s go this way.

Uh, well, I guess a toast to your boss to winning the election. Cheers. Okay. What’s with the lousy mood? All of a sudden? Oh, your snarky brothers comment hurt my feelings. You have feelings? Haha. Hilarious. This is a serious question, which I’m not gonna dignify with an. Look, I know I’ve screwed up in the past, but I’m doing my damnedest to make amends to the people I’ve heard trying to make a decent living, trying to be a productive member of the Salem community, and he treats me like I’m gum on the bottom of his shoe.

You can’t blame him for being a little curious as to why he invited me out here. As a matter of fact, I am too. I told you why. If you hadn’t recognized Clyde Weston’s cologne and identified him as your attacker, I’d be in prison right now. I’m very glad that the right person was punished. But you didn’t have to take me out to dinner.

I know. I didn’t have to. I wanted to. And we have a history after all. My God, what? What should I not bring up our past that we used to be married? It is kind of a big deal. Yes. But it doesn’t make the case that you think it does. Leo. Sing as you know. Uh, You blackmailed me. So using the term married to describe what we were makes me a bit queasy.

I only blackmailed you after you and Will thought you killed me and rolled my body up in a rug to dispose of. I, none of that would’ve happened if you hadn’t gone after me and Will in the first place.

Well, this is fun. Yes. We haven’t been working with appetizers yet.

Is it mirror? Are things getting tense over there? You know, I’m not sure Sonny even knows why he’s here. It’s not a date, isn’t it? No. No. God, no. Sonny and Will are solid, but hey, let’s just, let’s ignore them. Let’s focus on our big night. Hmm. And it is a big night. Mm-hmm. , isn’t it? Mm-hmm. . Ah. Hearing those election results felt even better than I thought it would.

You made that happen. Oh, I was a small part. Would you please, please stop being so humble. Okay. A medium sized part. And so were you, thank you again for hitting that file from Sloan. I know you felt like you were betraying her. If that’s all it took to garnish a date with you, I’d do it all over again. I’m sorry.

And I take that back. I’m not gonna be that guy. What guy? The guy that just comes on too strong and pushes way too hard. Calling this a date would be, um, presumptuous maybe. But what if it is a date?

So you still think I’m bluffing fine, but don’t come crying to me whenever all hell breaks loose. Which should be any moment now, by the way.

Okay, so you have the fire. What’s your number?

You wanna buy the file back? Name me a price. You’ll have it tonight. I guess I can’t blame you for thinking that Paulina can buy her way out of this one, but you humiliated me. You used someone that I cared about to get what you wanted,

so you forced me to up the stakes. What are you talking about? It means that Paul is about to get what’s coming. And she will have no one to blame, but you and Stephanie?

Yes. This is Amir Carver. I want you to get security to escort the reporters away from Ms. Price’s door. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. And why did you drag me in here when you know Chanel needs me? Those reporters out there are the reason you are going to be swamped. We’re just lucky your office is right off the square.

I’m so lucky. Look, I’m worried about unless you are, but this isn’t about her. She was arrested for murder. But this story isn’t about her. This is about you, the governor elect. Those reporters out there, they are going to ask you questions. You don’t have the answers for ’em, or maybe you do.

You’re arresting Chanel. For what? No. That warrant your husband is currently serving. I don’t think I’ve ever had an easier time having a judge sign off on fell. Oh, nice work Detective. How’d it go? You know exactly how it went. I’ve got uniforms out front trying to keep the reporters at bay. Oh, I’m sure they have so many questions and I hope all those photographers got you.

Good side. Mr. Pree, uh, you know why you’re here, right? Actually, Chanel, you don’t have to say anything. Let’s get her down to booking so I can start questioning her. Yeah. Sean, what is going on? I, I don’t know. I don’t know all the details, but I’ll fill you in later. Okay. Come on.

Okay, look, can we start over? Leo, why don’t we just get the check on the, the check for what? We haven’t ordered anything, but we got the drinks and actually waiter, sunny. Stop. Stop. The last thing I wanted to do tonight is.

Looking back, I’m sure there are things that we both regret. That we both regret. No, I don’t regret a damn thing. Okay, fine. Well, there are things that I regret, but we also have had our fun, right? No. No, we did not. Well, it’s never been boring. Can you at least say that?

Okay. I’ll give you that one. I just want us to get along. Thank God. What? It’s not that I don’t think you want to get along Leo, but you always have some ulterior motive, an angle, and if by chance you are looking for another sugar daddy, I wanna make it very, very clear that this ring I’m wearing, it means a lot to me.

You think I asked you out to try and seduce you and take your money? I’m not not thinking it Well, I am beyond hurt and insulted, which is something I’m very used. Besides, I don’t need a sugar daddy. I have a great job. Now then what do you want? Friendship. Seriously? You say that like it’s some insane fantasy.

Like, who does Leo Stark think he is trying to have friends? Okay. No, that’s, that’s not what I meant. Yes it is. Yes it is. It’s fine.

The truth is I don’t have very many friends. It’s distressing. Yes, there’s Gwenny whom I adore, but I don’t have a single gay male friend in Salem. Not one. And you want me to be the one? Well, Sonny, you’re successful, you’re popular, you’re funny, which is very important to me because I’m hilarious and have been told many times that I should do standup.

My point is maybe you have no idea what it’s like to be lonely, but I’ll give you a window. It sucks.

What are you not telling me? Paulina Abraham. I heard Schnell say something. I know what you’re thinking, that you, your wife is keeping yet another secret from you that thought had entered my mind. I really believed I had this under control. And what? Under control? Oh, look, Paulina Paul, I want to help you, but I can’t help you if I don’t know what this is.

And there’s no time to waste if Chanel is going to be charged with murder. So, Please for the sake of your daughter.

I was being blackmailed for something Chanel did when she was younger and the blackmailer said I had to pay up or the police would find out the truth. I hired Stephanie Johnson to handle it. That how she was your campaign manager? Yes, yes, but it was more than that. The proof was in a file and Stephanie, she, she got it back for me and, you know, the, the blackmail was over.

She know it was safe. At least I thought she was. So what did you do with this file? Well, I put it somewhere where no one could get to it. I just, I don’t even understand how this all got out of control. Who is it? Who was blackmailing you? Sloan Peterson. That witch. What did you do? Only would I had been threatening to do from the very beginning if I didn’t get what I was asking for.

You went to the cops even better, I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear that Da Trask was very, very interested in the contents of that file.

Come on. Come on. Answer.

For real, you’d be willing to to date, because up until now, everything you’ve said has been pretty much the opposite. I know, and I had my reasons, but maybe it’s time to rethink those reasons. That is the best news that I’ve. All year long.

uh, it’s Chad,

do you need to take that? I’ll, I’ll give you some privacy. Um, no, no. I’m here with you. Notifications are silenced. Look at you. Look at me. Election’s over. Hmm. I deserve a night without alerts. Work is done for the day. Are you sure? Yeah. Whatever it is, it can wait. And right now I have something more important to focus on.

Cheers to that

Allie, I was just trying to call you. Have you seen Chanel? Yeah, Sean just brought her through. I tried to follow, but I fight through all these reporters. Is she, is she locked up already? Oh no, she’s still here in the station. They just took her down to booking. Gosh, she must be so scared and there’s nothing I can do to help.

Do you know what this is about? No, no. Paul had just finished her victory speech. Everything was great, and then all of a sudden Sean showed up with a warrant, said the charges were murder. Wait, what Murder. H, how can that be?

Okay, now turn to the right.

Sounds like you’re getting a lot of alerts. Something in the news. Damn it, Stefan, why aren’t you picking up? No, I guess she’s. I’ll know where she is. Good luck. You’ll need it.

This girl, I don’t know how she did it, but somehow Sloan got into my safe and she stole back the evidence. How’d she get her hands on that evidence in the first place? Well, she’s representing some mystery client. She wouldn’t tell me. And, and, and, uh, the evidence was just sitting in the safe. I plan to shred everything, but I haven’t had a moment alone since I got my hands on it.

So if the DA was able to secure a warrant yes. For Chanel’s arrest, that means Melinda Trask has that file right now. Oh. And she hates me. Says I strong armed her into given Lonnie that plea deal. So you think she’s still get it out on Chanel? Oh, I know she is. Oh my poor baby. I need to go see my daughter.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Until we have a. Until we have a plan, we have to keep our distance from those reporters. What? We can’t just sit here, we need to do something. Look, I know that one step at a time, we cannot help Chanel until we have a plan and until you tell me what she did,

Stephanie. Chad, why are you doing here? Why are you ignoring my calls? Hey, we’re in the middle of something here, bud. Right? Um, sorry, I’m, I’m sorry to interrupt. I, I, I really am. But you need to check your phone. Why? What’s going on?

You serious? Aren’t you about wanting a. Why would I joke about that? Because literally everything is a joke to you, Leo. You enjoy nothing more than making someone look like a total idiot. That’s how you see me. Is there any other way? So I like to keep people laughing because, like I said, being funny. It’s my greatest talent.

And yes, I enjoy scandalizing people by being outrageous because it keeps them at a distance. But you know where that gets you right here with somebody thinking that you’re playing a prank when you’re trying to reveal a piece of your heart to,

oh, I’m sorry. It’s fine. It’s my own fault. I act like a clown. I don’t expect people to look beneath the surface level. I just didn’t expect you to be like everybody else.

When did this happen? Right after Paulina gave her victory speech. How did this happen? I’m still trying to sort all of that out, but I just ran into, uh, to Sloan and she was all too happy to let me know what she did. She got the documents back and she used them. Wait, but that’s impossible. But how did she get him outta PUIs safe?

Sloan said he.

So bitch. Oh, Alex, what are you doing? Hey, get up. Huh? Get up. What? What did you do? You little rat.

I wanna help Chanel so bad, but I don’t even know who to call. I’ve never felt this helpless. It’s gonna be okay. Yeah. Help. Anyway, I, I’ll help any way I can.

Where Stella is she? Okay. Transcos are in interrogation. She wants to be the one to do the initial. Chanel’s by herself. That can’t be good. Well, this is what trash does. Make the arrest publicly, catch the suspect off guard, rush them through booking. She wants Chanel to be scared and desperate, so she’ll say whatever she needs to say to get outta that room.

Sean, you have to help her please.

It’s just you and me right now. Miss D. And, and I need you to understand that the truth is your only way through this, the truth. All right, let’s stop this right now. Excuse me, but you’re not allowed to be in here Chanel. Do you want representation? Huh? Do you want my help? Do you want me to be your lawyer?

Yes. Good. This interrogation at, so.

You might wanna think twice about that. Chanel Mrs. Brady’s been hanging around the station tonight. Do you really wanna trust your fate in the hands of an ambulance chaser? Chanel has stated her preference for counsel, so anything you wanna say to her, you say through me, it’s not too late to change your mind.

She’s my lawyer. There you go, Ms. Trask. I’d like a few minutes to confer with my client, so if you wouldn’t mind, or even if you do mind,

Allie was really afraid that you were gonna be in here alone. But listen, you are not alone anymore.

Detective, don’t you have an arrest report to write up? I’ll get to it. Why are you doing this? I’m just doing my job, Allie. But if you know something, then you can help your friend by making a statement. Leave over. Okay. I’m just trying to be helpful by arresting Chanel in front of half the town. Chanel’s not doing herself any favors in there.

Okay. You might think that letting Bell take over is a good idea, but I’m just trying to get to the truth. Well, I don’t know anything, and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you my girlfriend is not a murderer and you know this because? Because I would. Like, I’m sorry, Allie, but that’s what we call misplaced loyalty.

Right? She’s been keeping a very big secret from you, from everyone. That’s all gonna come out now.

Well, Alex, take it easy. Just tell me what you did, Leo. Tell me what you did. Just tell me who you’re working for. Don’t lie. I don’t lie. Call Lena Price. Get off me. Admit it. Just admit it. What did you do? Wait, wait. How am I supposed to admit anything? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let him go, Alice.

Yeah, please. It’s.

Glad I wasn’t being paranoid before. Hey, what’s, can we just, what’s going on? Okay. Leo, did Sloan Peterson go to Paulina’s office today? What? Answer the question. What? I, yeah. I, I, I owe Sloan some money, but what does my business with Sloan have Anything to do with you? It doesn’t, except when your business is stabbing.

Our friends in the back.

I just can’t believe that Chanel’s been carrying this burden around for so long. You too. Oh, babe, I, I’m so sorry for keeping this from you, and please don’t, don’t hate me for lying to you yet again.

I can never hate you. And I get, oh, you kept this hidden. This wasn’t your secret to tell. You understand. I’ll do anything I can to help you and your daughter. Thank you. Thank you, Abraham. Thank you.

Kicking the DA out of here doesn’t mean that she’s going away for good. She’s gonna wanna sit with you and she’s gonna have a lot of tough questions, but the good news is I’ll be here to make sure you don’t say anything that’s gonna hurt yourself. Okay. Thank you. Now, Allie said that your arrest came as a surprise to.

was it a surprise to you, or did you see it coming? No, I, I thought it was all over and Mama was helping, helping make it go away? Well, that she had this file, the one that Ms. Trask has now. What’s in the file? I am supposed to tell you everything. Actually, you know, it’s probably better if you don’t give me the details.

The police still have to show me what they have, and it’s probably better that I see that without any preconceptions. If they have that file, then they have everything they need. So you’ve seen what’s in that file. Mama, show me a copy. Okay. Chanel, I want you to understand that in a court of law, it’s not always about the.

It’s about what they can prove is true. Okay.

What documents I, I don’t understand, and what does this have to do with Paulina’s daughter? Just tell us what happened when Sloane was in the office. Why is this important? Tell them everything. Leo, I already told you she showed up because she wanted money. Did you give it to her? Well, it wasn’t that simple.

I didn’t have any cash. Paul had promised me in advance and I wanted to get rid of Sloan, so, so you opened Paulina Safe, the combination was just sitting there. You opened it in front of Sloan. Well, how else was I supposed to get the money out? I took what I needed and I closed it right back up. Obviously not.

She said you helped her. What? No, no, I didn’t help her do anything. Did you turn your back for even a second? No.

Oh geez. Answer the question, Leo,

maybe. Okay. You’re gonna have to do better than that. Well, I, I had to count the money. Right. And we know that staying focused is in my strong suit, neither’s Math. Well, congratulations, Leo, you just destroyed your boss’s career and her daughter’s life.

Uh huh. Well, thank you for the update.

They’ve cleared out most of the reporters. Just a few stragglers left, hoping to catch a sound bite from you. Hmm. Which they’ll twist and use against my Chanel. Well, don’t say anything for now. I need to get down to the station. I look. Why don’t we, why don’t we call down there and check. It it We’ll see if Ali knows what’s going on, huh?

Yes. Good idea. Good idea. Oh,

Helena El, are you at the station? I’m here. Where are you? Um, in my office. Trying to avoid the press. How’s my baby? Have you seen her? No. She’s in the interrogation. Oh my God. She’s all alone in there. No, she’s not alone. Um, my Aunt Bell’s in there. I think she’s taking on the case. Oh, thank God. Thank God.

Well, if you see her, you tell her to hold on. Okay. Tell her mama is coming.

So for now, you just stay quiet and you let me do all the talking. Okay. Oh, it’s Allie. She’s out in the station and she said she just spoke to your mom and she’s on her way soon. I can’t believe this happened on our election night. Well, they obviously planned it that way.

I trust that you and your shiny new client are getting to know each other, but I still have questions that need to be. Well, they’ll have to wait. It’s been a long night and I still need to see your evidence . Okay, you wanna stall? Fine, but since it’s too late for an arraignment, it’s also too late for a bail hearing, meaning your client is gonna be our guest for the night downstairs in the lockup.

Detective, please escort our newest guest down to reporters for the evening. Uh, Chanel. Everything is gonna be okay, Sean. We’ll keep you safe and I’ll have you out in the morning. Okay, here we go.

Best Cuffer before you walk her down there as befits a murder suspect.

I really got Paulina, his daughter in trouble, huh? Yeah. Looks pretty bad. We’re kid. Well, Alex seems to think whatever happened that I did it on purpose. Did you? What? I would never do anything to Paulina or Chanel. If Sloan stole something from Paulina Safe, she did it while I wasn’t looking. You believe me, right.

God help me. But yeah. Yeah, I do.

I can’t stay here any longer. I need to be with my daughter. Look, I know that. And I will do my best to shield you from those reporters. So are you ready for this? Oh, I have to be. We’ll get through it together.

All right, let’s go.

Well, now we. Sloan used Leo to get that file. Are we sure he wasn’t working for her? I don’t know, but we should probably get started on this right away. Yeah. I’m sorry, Alex, but I have to go. My phone is going to explode if I don’t at least release a statement and I need to go find Paulina. Yeah, of course.

But we’ll do this again another time. I’d like that. It’s a lot

you. Yeah, let’s go.

Congratulations, madam Governor Elect, Mr. Mayor, you both won hard fought elections. But I wonder at what price? What are you doing here? Are you here to glute something like that? Paulina, you know, it would’ve been so much cheaper for you just to pay me when I asked, but now the whole world is gonna know what Chanel did and how you covered it up.

Well, here’s what I know that you are a miserable, heartless cow. Now get outta. I’ve gotta go see my daughter. Oh,

Chanel. Oh my God. I’m so sorry. Don’t touch the prisoner. Oh, she’s not a prisoner detective. This contact is inappropriate. Whatever you need, I’m here for you. Okay. I love you. She, I love you too, Chelsea. Take her away.

It means I’m finally an A-list. Gay. Wow. Does that mean we’ll actually get a, a good table tonight? It damn will better. She’s coming.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Were you just about to cover up Tim’s poster with ours? Were you? Were you? It was an impulse. A bad one. I know, but after almost torpedoing Paulina’s entire campaign, I just wanted to do everything possible to make sure she wins. How is my future governor? Oh, I don’t know how you do this.

I’ve had butterflies all morning. I am a nervous wreck. Oh, what’s them? And you ran an excellent campaign, Paulina. You know, you did it without any major missteps or scandals and consider. The intense scrutiny that you get when you run a campaign. Well, you were pretty lucky. You have no idea. Breathe sunny, boy.

Keep that gaze forward. Not up. Alright. Oh, your palm should be directly underneath your shoulders. That’s where they are. No, they’re not. Just they are. You need to hug your elbows a little closer to your hips, bud. Keep ’em straight. There you go. And try not to be such a grump. Okay. You know why I’m a, a grmp?

It’s cuz I hate yoga. It’s never been my thing. Well, that’s because you never gave it a chance. Okay. Now we are going to transition into a downward facing dog. Hips. Raise up back, straight legs straight. Great. I’m gonna push your heels into the ground. Yep. I hate this. I hate. Oh dude, this really isn’t that hard.

You just gotta stop being so negative. Oh, oh my God. I can literally feel the tension releasing from my body. I can stay in this position all day long, baby. That’s because being a dog comes so naturally to you. You sneaky son of a bitch.

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

based on the early returns I’ve. , we’ve got a pretty good lead on my opponent. . Hey. And that is wonderful. Yeah. So any updates on your ratio? Oh, let me check. Mary. Get in here. Uh, it’s still Leo, Ms. Price. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I’m sorry. It’s gonna take me a while to get used to that. You know, Mary’s been my only assistant for so long.

Well, since I am so grateful to be gainfully employed and find you to be, although a bit diva ish, also funny as hell and smart as a whip. You can call me whatever you want. . Yeah, a bit diva ish. In a good way. Anyway, I assume you called me in here for some election updates, so mail-in ballots and early exit polling.

Have you slightly ahead of Tim ends? Yes. All right. , . You see, I told you. You did. You did. But. I don’t want to count my chickens too soon, you know? I also have some phone messages for you. There is one from your sister Tammy, one from Governor Mitch. End three. From that bch Sloan Peterson

Sloan, what’s going on babe? , don’t you play dumb with me? You duplicitous little creep. I know you took, it took what? A file. I, I, I still don’t know what you’re talking about, baby. Hold on. It had to be you because nobody else has been in my apartment. Why Alex? Why, why? I thought we were friends. Why would you betray me like this?

I wouldn’t worry about Paulina. Everybody at Canvas this morning intends to vote for her. Hey, I’m telling you she’s got this in the bag. Mm. I hope you’re right. I know I am. And after she’s declared Governor, you and I we’re gonna go out to dinner and we’re gonna celebrate on me. Really sweet Chad. Um, but I already have plans tonight.

Plans, well, I’m, um, I’m going out with Alex.

Someone accused me of shoplifting. I know, I know. It’s completely crazy. But the clerk Saxons claims that. You left without pain. So listen, if I can just look in the bag, we can clear this whole entire thing up and we can come on, we can prove that she’s wrong. Of course. Waste of time. Tad insulting. I know, but I know you’re just doing your job, darling.

So go ahead. Have a look.

It is a mink stole full. Of course. But doesn’t it look lovely and real? I assume you, you have a receipt of this right? Show him the receipt. Why would I have a receipt? Because you are the one who paid for it. No, ma’am. I did not pay for it. I thought you paid for it.

Oh.

Oh, I see you and hen did some major building. We built the Brady Pub, actually, where W Woman Works, . Yeah. Let me help you with that. How was the bakery today? Great. Um, our employees are really excited about having the rest of the day off to vote. Henry’s napping, I assume? Yep. I put him down about 15 minutes ago.

Oh, yep. Oh, oh, it’s this, this, oh. Some media outlet. They won’t interview me. So Stephanie got the questions in advance so that I could go over them. You know, it just occurred to me. You’ll be a public figure. My girlfriend’s gonna be famous. Mama has to get elected first. Didn’t Sloan Peterson come to see you once before?

Why does she keep pestering here? She tried to hit me up for a job as my in-house council. I turned her down flat, but she just can’t take hell no for an answer. uh, you know, I’ve gotta, I gotta check in with my campaign manager. So I will meet you at the square. Mm-hmm. and we’ll go vote together. Alright?

Absolutely. . Uh, so what’s next on the agenda? Mary? I mean, Leo, uh, let’s see. You have an interview in about 10 minutes. K D J Y, and in the meantime, would you like me to set up calls for those messages? I’ll get to them later, except for the ones from that witch Sloan. She can go kick rocks. Sloane, you gotta calm down.

Okay. I will not calm down when I have been lied to and betrayed and it’s so stupid of me when, because it was obviously whenever you blindfolded me and handcuffed me to the bed, oh, don’t wanna hear this. Mm-hmm. And you, you were so slick telling me that story about how your cousin, or that she put some guy in the same position or whatever so she could steal from.

Why you were doing the exact same thing to me. All right, babe, I think you’re giving a little bit too much focus and attention to this little anecdote. Okay. You saw me leave your apartment. What? What did I do? H hide the file somewhere. You think I, it was hidden. You know, I had wondered that too. And then I remembered that it was Halloween and your aunt had just so happened to come to the house with that stupid trick-or-treating little brat.

And then I thought, whoa, that must have been, whenever he gave her the file, that’s when he passed the file off. You got Aunt Maggie involved in this? Of course. I didn’t get her involved. Sloane, you got things mixed up here. You got it all wrong. No, Alex, I have it exactly right and I just hope that it was worth it because you can say goodbye to the best sex you ever.

So Al Alex asked you out to dinner. Actually, I asked him, oh,

as a plot twist. Um,

Why the, why, the change of heart? Well, because after he took that file from Sloan and he saved Pauline’s campaign as well as my job and yours, so I just, um, I wanted to, you know, show my gratitude. Do you disapprove?

I mean, I think you could probably could have just sent them a thank you card. Going out to dinner is gonna, uh, make ’em think that you’re interested in them now that you’re willing to give ’em a shot. Well, maybe I am.

Um, wow. Some of these questions are very personal. Oh yeah. Like. , your girlfriend Allie, has a young son. What is your role in his life? Let see. Ooh. Um, any plans to get married? Children of your own? Like do they really think I would give this information a perfect strangers? Well, what about giving that information to me?

So Sloane is still harass. Threatening to send in her enforcers if I don’t pay her exorbitant legal fees. That woman is trash. Ah, the worst. And look, Ms. Price. I know you said you wouldn’t give me an outright loan, but now that I’m on salary, is there any way I could get in advance just to get her off my back?

Normally I would say no, but no one deserves to be in that conniving woman’s clutches, so yes. I will give you an advance. Oh, thank God. Thank you. So just how soon can I get that advance As it happens, I have some extra cash in my safe. Uh, speaking of which, there’s something else in there that I need to dispose of.

Discreetly. Do we happen to have a shredder? We certainly do. Is this something you want me to take care of and shred for you? No, no, no. I’ll handle it myself. Now, where is that combination? Oh, what, oh, it’s time for my interviews. We’ll have to do this later. I promise you won’t forget. You have my word. No one deserves to ever have to be tethered to that vicious snake.

Okay. So was Sloan telling the truth? I mean, I wouldn’t say it was the best sex I ever had, but No, you definitely top 10. You idiot. Not about that. About you stealing from her. Oh, I wouldn’t exactly call that stealing. But yeah, I took the file. Well, what was in it? Having a clue what? You stole something without even knowing what was in it.

That doesn’t even make any sense. Alex.

Look, if I tell you something, what? You keep Ines. Okay. Stephanie asked me to. What, why? Unless you know the better sunny boy plausible deniability. The important thing is your cousin seemed very, very grateful. So you committed a crime just to score some points. Uh, no. No. She was scared and she was upset, and I hated to see her like that.

So. Besides the side benefit for this is that she does seem a little bit warmer towards me. She asked me about the dinner tonight, like on a date. Mm. Actually, I’m not so sure about that. This dinner with Alex is gonna be a date then. Well, I guess I’ve come to realize that he isn’t the jerk. I thought he was, I mean, he tanked his relationship with Sloan just to help me out.

No, that doesn’t answer my question. Right. Uh, I. I was just explaining that I’ve changed my opinion of Alex, at least somewhat, but to actually answer your question, I’m, I’m not saying that going out to dinner with him is a date. Just that I, I have an open mind. must be thrilled about your newly open mind then.

I bet. Well, if he is, he has you to thank for it. Me. What did, what did? After my ex ghosted me, which I told you about, I shut down emotionally. There was no way I was gonna let anyone else hurt me like that again. But then getting to know you, that connection we shared made me wanna open myself up again and get back out there.

And since you’re not interested, what? Who said I wasn’t?

Well, I’m glad we got that all sorted out. I am just so mortified that that clerk actually believed I meant to shoplift. Wouldn’t have been the first time though, would it? Doug. Sorry. Shouldn’t have said that. Well, the cat’s out of the bag now. The incident your grandfather is referring to happened at Bartlett’s Department Store hundreds of years ago when I was just a teenager.

Grandma, I’m not, I’m not judging you. Okay. Oh, I’m judging myself, sweetie. I’m still embarrassed about it, and the, the item that I had my hands on was very expensive. As a matter of fact, it was also a mink. Real fur in those days. Sad to say. Anyway, they hustled me down to the police station and, and threatened to book me when Grandpa Tom and Uncle Mickey came to my rescue.

What do you mean you’re holding my daughter, Julie? We’re shoplifting Dr. Horton. See you and two other girls were picked up in Bartlett’s department. Shoplifting, Julie. Right? I’d suggest you get down here just as soon as you can. Alright? I’ll be down there in 20 minutes. Will the hospital need you? Dad?

I’ll make close the door. What’s you ready? Julie’s in some kind of trouble with the police. The police, she and two other girls are being held for shoplifting. What? I’ve gotta get down there right away. Mickey, I want you to come with me. How about Ben and Addie? Have the, have the police notified them apparently.

Why not? They’re Julie’s parents. They should be the first ones to know. Julie said her name was Julie Horton, not Olsen, Horton Police think she’s my daughter. Why that crazy kid? Julie’s not crazy Mickey, but she’s in some kind of serious trouble. Now, the sooner we get down there, the quicker we can straighten it out.

Are you gonna tell mom? No. I don’t want to worry, Eric. I’ll tell her it’s a, an emergency at the hospital. You try to reach Ben and Addie while I talk to your.

Now you will call that photographer first thing in the morning. Oh, yes. All right. Now about for music. Oh, Tom, do you think that we should have an accordion player at the wedding reception or a piano? I’m holding up the Beatles or a jazz combo, but no folks, singers. I draw the line at that. Uh, shoe fly baby daddies in the corn.

I’m not at my wedding now. Tom, what do you think? Well, anything Tony and Marie want is okay with me. Look, I, I’ve gotta go downtown. Oh. Oh, that call was an emergency then. Yes. In a way, Kelly. That must have been over 50 years ago. Oh, I think more, yeah, it was 57 years ago. To this very day.

Um, let’s start with the marriage question. Oh, well, considering what happened between Johnny and me, I am in no rush to tie the knot anytime soon. That doesn’t mean I can’t see us getting married someday. Yeah, same here. You know, obviously I love being with you and I’m really happy with how things are going right now, but they’ve only been dating for like three months.

Yeah, exactly. . So I am very cool with taking things slowly. Well look at us all in sync. Yeah. . Okay, so question number two. Mm-hmm. children. Well, I do love helping you raise Henry. Does this mean that you want more children? You know, as bad as things got between Johnny and me growing up, the good times, a hundred percent made up for it.

I don’t know. I think, I think that having a sibling can be really good for a kid. Yeah. It was lonely being an only child, and I can only imagine what it would’ve been like if Lonnie had been around when I was growing up. Mm-hmm.

I guess, yeah, I, I am open and more kids, you know, a couple years ago we were partying our way through London, not a care in the world, and now here we are talking about our future, like actual full-blown adults. It is so weird. Very weird, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When did I say I wasn’t in. You made it pretty clear to Alex yesterday when you said that there was nothing between us and there never would be. I can’t believe he told you that. He didn’t I happen to walk in when you said it? Uh, I didn’t realize that. I’m sorry. No, you don’t need to apologize. I actually like knowing where things stand.

Well, let me explain. You don’t have to. No, I really, I really do need to. I, I need to. Um, Alex accused me of having feelings for you and, and, and I just, I didn’t, the question made me uncomfortable and I didn’t know how to respond, so I just blurted that out. So are you saying you didn’t mean what you said?

Stephanie said that she wanted to thank me for helping her out, but who knows if nothing else, at least now she doesn’t think I’m complete. Maybe she’ll give us a chance. Well, I would not push it if I were you. I know, I know. I know. I gotta play cool. I know. And as much as I hate to admit it, you were right before, I shouldn’t have been hounding her like that.

I should have just backed off a little. Maybe now as a reward, the universe intervened and is bringing us closer together. Okay. Well, uh, I think the universe has bigger fish to. But that being said, I’m glad that Stephanie’s finally given you a chance. Thank you. And I’m sure as hell not going to blow at this time.

Hello, Leo, Ms. Peterson, how may I help you? I’m here to see your boss since she isn. Returning my call, so I decided to pay her a visit. Well, she’s not here, as you can clearly see. Next time I would recommend making an appointment. Oh, really? Well, next time you hire an attorney, I would recommend you expect to pay.

I’ll have your money soon. Soon. Is as bad as never in my book. No, this is legit. I swear I can have your money tomorrow. Well, tomorrow doesn’t work for me, so I guess I am just gonna have to send my associates on the job. They can be here in 10 minutes. Whoa. No, no, no. Wait. Whoa, wait, wait, wait. I, I can get your money now.

Okay.

This price was going to give me the money before she was called away. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind my taking care of this myself. She’s a big fan of initiative.

Sean Douglas, I’m so happy you decided to join us for lunch. Yeah, I think actually he was, Trying to make sure that we didn’t dine and . No. Hey, near is everybody. How are your Hey. Hello. Yourself there, Mr. Mayer? Yes, sir. , we presume that you are well on your way to, uh, happy reelection today. Well, it’s looking pretty good, , but you know, it is, it’s, it’s not over yet.

And, um, well I may not have the job for very. Uh, look between us, if Paulina wins her election, I’ll be stepping down this mayor moving to the capitol with her man. That’ll be quite a gesture, eh, Paulina, we just heard that, uh, you may be taking away our precious Abe. Maybe not. I just received some very troubling news.

Hey Alex, am I doing this right? Looks good to me. We are doggy style suits. You, Jackson. It’s called Downward Dog. You ass. And what are you doing here? Ah, I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but I need you to get dressed. I’m here to take you out to dinner to celebrate my new job. Wow. What’s with the look? I didn’t think you were serious about that.

Oh, I never joke about dinner dates. Sunny. This isn’t just about celebrating me and my success. It’s also about celebrating you. Me. Why me? Well, thanks to your very impressive olfactory senses, you were able to identify Clyde Weston as your attacker, thereby keeping my finally toned fanny out of prison. So let a grateful gal take you out for a night on the.

I promise you won’t regret it.

Okay. Obviously there’s an attraction between us

and part of me thinks that it would be really nice to pursue that and, and to see where that. And the other part, the part you’re obviously listening to, still grieving Abigail. I’m, I’m not ready to start seeing anyone. Not in any serious way,

and I don’t. Wonder if I ever will be. So I, while I, I may have overstated things to Alex. I don’t want you to have to sit around and, and, and wait and hope that

I, I, I sound like an egomaniac right now, and I, I, I, I can’t even finish the sentence. No, no, not at all. I, I appreciate your honesty.

I am really glad. You wanna start dating again though? Even if it’s Alex, wouldn’t be my first choice. No. But if that’s who you want to date, no. Then I support you. That’s what friends do, right? Friends?

Well, alright. Uh, now that, that incredibly awkward conversation is, should we get to work? Yeah. Yeah. We should get to work. Okay.

Hmm. Troubling news, Alina, well, maybe I’m overreacting, but I just ran into Phillips who owns the of men. She told me she didn’t vote for me and that a lot of the other local business owners didn’t vote for me. Apparently they’re still angry about that whole price town business. They’re claiming I’m just a shill for big business.

Well, that’s not true. Well, true or not, this really could hurt my chances. Ms. Price, we need to talk. Well, is it about these small business owners? I’m sure Timmons is behind it, but don’t worry. I was already anticipating something like this, so I’ve got a rebuttal all set to go. I just need your approval.

Stephanie, you’re a godsend. Is there anything else we can do to help? Yes. Go and vote. Oh, well, Gary, the lady, let’s get to it. Oh.

Yeah. And I love you too, Lonnie, darling. Yeah. I said thank you. Thank you for calling and thank you for your support throughout the campaign. Yeah, you, I’m gonna hand you off to your father now, okay? Mm-hmm. . All right. Hey, hey, sweetheart. Oh yeah. This is a big day here. So how are we doing on damage control?

I think we were able to turn the narrative around in time to reach the voters. Think he was just congratulating me on avoiding any missteps over, uh, Ms. Price compared to, uh, some of the other political bombshells, the state of scene price town ranks pretty well. Hmm. Okay. Everybody, they just called my race and.

I won. Yeah.

Wow. Where are you going Out? Just out, out to dinner by yourself? No, not by. With Leo Stark. Seriously. Why? I know. Because I have been cooped up in this house ever since I got out of the hospital and I decided that I needed a night out. Okay. Even if it is with Leo Stark. Huh? And how does will feel about you going to dinner with another man?

This is not another man. Okay. Let me just say again, it’s Leo Stark. It’s your ex-husband. Oh God. You’re right. Just hearing that makes my skin crawl. Thank you for reminding me, and not that it’s any of your business, but he just wants to thank me for clearing his name for the murder. All right. Celebrate his new job.

Oh see, celebrate equals festive equals more than a friendly dinner in my book. Oh, none in mine. It’s just a meal. Hmm. And a change of scenery. I am in desperate need of, I am not. Looking for romance. Okay. Well that makes one of us. Yes it does. Because you are single and I am not. So don’t compare you going out with Stephanie.

To me, going out with Leo, because it’s not only annoying and ridiculous, it is disrespectful to me and to Will. All right, you got it. I got it. I get it. No comparison. But I will tell you this, I am hoping, and by the end of the night, I have sweated Stephanie right off her feet, okay? They’re neck and neck with only a few counties left to report.

We might not have a definitive answer tonight, I swear to the Lord above. I’ll flip my wig if I have to wait till tomorrow morning. wait. They’re calling it. You did it.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you all. So, Very much, and I am honored that the good people of Salem have continued to support me and have found me worthy of serving another term as their mayor.

But I regret to inform you as grateful as I am that. , I intend to step down and hand the reins to my very, very capable deputy mayor. Now, I, I, I do not make this decision lightly, but as you know, my, uh, wife Paul, the price. It has just been elected our new governor.

Thank you. So I believe that it is my duty to support her with the best of my abilities, and so I will be. with her to the state Capitol. . Now that being said, it will be my pleasure to turn this microphone over to the woman of the hour. My incredible wife, Paulina Price.

Thank you. Thank you for this warm welcome and I, I can’t tell you how blessed I feel to be taking on such, such an important. , but I wouldn’t have been here without my support team, starting with my incredible campaign staff,

and of course my amazing husband, mayor Abe Carver.

Oh, as well as my two wonderful, wonderful daughters. Lonnie Price Grant and Chanel Dupree, come here baby,

who truly, truly are the wind beneath my wings. There really is nothing, nothing more important. Then

Julie.

What’s all this? It would be anniversary to you. My darling. Anniversary of what? Your life of crime. . Oh my.

By now, if you know me, you know when I commit myself to something, I fight heart and soul for it. So I look forward. To dedicating my heart and soul to the good people of this state.

Congratulations. I, uh, just heard the news. Can you believe it? I am now the executive director for the governor of the state. Do you know what this means? Getting a raise? No, it means I’m finally an A-list. Gay. Wow. Does that mean we’ll actually get a a good table tonight? It damn will better. She’s coming.

Hi

Chad. Paulina just gave me the rest of the night off, so you’re a free man. Great. I’m glad I could help. You ready? Yes, just in time for our reservation to bistro. Thanks again for your help. Chad. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Enjoy your victory while you can Ms. Price.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Ha Ha ha. Gotcha. You. No, no, don’t be out. I’m gonna get you one way or another. Bacteria invested. Little bastard guitar, whatever. I’m sorry.

Oh, good. You’re here. You’re glad to see me. Oh, sweet. Chloe quit her job at Basic Black to go to Damara headquarters. And you did that, didn’t you? I didn’t hear you come in. Well, I heard you talking about me. What? You said my name. Oh, so that must mean your Stephan Dam. Excellent deduction. Who are you? I’m Wendy Sh Lisa.

Nice to meet you. You still haven’t told me who you were talking to about me and why,

boy, what happened Was John here, he told me something that he didn’t want you to tell you. And you know me. I, Anthony, most honest person since Colonel Tom Parker, his own self. Well, I mean now they’re saying that old Tom. He’s not so honest, but I am. And you know, I don’t like to keep secrets between you and I show him, I’m gonna tell you what he said.

Come on grandma, get it over with Elish. You boy is just sick at heart from everything that’s been going on this past few weeks. Is he? Yes. He is just missing his ex. Something fierce. His acts the lovely.

Are you wishing it here, honey, you’re No, no, no. I was talking about Ava

Like sand through the oas. So are the days of.

Don’t even think.

You know, usually the stray is more effective than the can itself. He was empty. Huh? You got him. So fair play to you. Ah, I’ll get some more ro spray when I go out. Only like it will be the last can we need. Does that mean that the job interview went well? Yeah, I did connect with, um, one prospect that seems promising.

This is so exciting. Can’t wait all about it.

I don’t keep up with Chloe’s comings and goings anymore. So you had no idea that Lee Shin had offered her a job at Damari? Nope. Lee said that you didn’t put him up to it, but, but what You think he’s lying to you? I think I have good reason to believe that whenever Chloe has a big sudden change in her life that you orchestrated, I barely know Le.

My relationship was with his father. I mean, so why would he take orders from me? He reports to ej. EJ fired me. You really expect me to believe that you’ve just stopped pulling all the strings because you’re living here now, Chloe, quitting basic black only benefits one person, and that would be you.

Kristin, maybe Chloe does benefit. She could have, uh, decided that a job at Damara was to step up for her. And if you cared about her, like you say you do, you might try being supportive. Frankly, I’m surprised at least she would offer her any kind of position at Damara given her personnel file. It’s only full of bad performance reviews from you.

Okay. You know what? Maybe he doesn’t care about my. Or he thought that she would do a better job if she wasn’t so distracted by you. He probably found out that you had broken off with her and moved on with me. I moved you in here, but I haven’t moved on. I love Chloe more than I ever have. Well, you’ll get some perspective now.

I didn’t get Chloe that job, but uh, I do think it’s a very positive change for all three of us.

You’re not saying very much because I’m embarrassed. I was talking to myself. Do it a lot. Why did you say my name? Well, I was working on updating our electronic records and your file jumped out at me as problematic. Not that according to our HR records, you’re dead. Yeah, I’ve been running into a lot of that lately.

Hey, while you’re at it, you mind fixing my voter registration? That’s a tricky one. That’s what they said. What does it feel like to be you? I mean, it must be weird. Just wake up and suddenly realize you’ve missed four years of your life. It’s good to be alive. But if I’m honest, it hasn’t been easy. I can imagine your wife has your job and she’s engaged.

My brother, you’re behind on the times. See, Gabby doesn’t have that job anymore, and as far as I’m concerned, Lee can have her. You know, she’s interesting. And it is pretty impressive, right? The fact that she has a prison record that she became CEO of Damara Gabby is interesting on paper. Well, she must be really smart.

She’s also beautiful, huh? You know, she used to impress me too, but not anymore. In fact, I kind of hate to think about our time.

Well, I would hate to see my brother get hurt. Could you maybe tell me what happened to make you change how you feel about her? You must have loved her once. Are you sure you’ll never love her again?

You told your grandmother that you still have feelings forever. Uh, well, I, uh, I, I didn’t realize it, you know, until I was talking to her about it. She’s, you know, she’s got a way of knowing things that you, you don’t wanna admit. Mm-hmm. even to yourself. Yep. That’s right. I You should it by and dad, I know, but I know I told you I was over it and Yes, her lie about being married to Jake was low.

It was also. Johnny Ava’s a master manipulator. She played up to your uncle Jake after he broke up with Gabby. Then she and Gabby cooked up this phony marriage after he died, and she made you an ally with her sad story about her deep love for her dead husband. I know that. Now, look, son, I hope you’re not being hard on.

Being taken in by a woman doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

You gonna get over by

mother’s, right? And fortunately, Ava will never set foot in this time again. Again.

Charlie, what are you doing here?

So the good brother, he still wants you to move in with him, doesn’t he? Wants you to bake him cookies. Scrub his floors. Is that the life you want? Well, no. Didn’t think so. I miss my son. On your son too. You have a son right here. Hi name’s Charlie. Nice to meet you. You know, I, I hear that it’s cold and rainy in Seattle, but things seem to be heating up nicely in Salem.

Don’t. Don’t you want your revenge against EJ Damara? Don’t you need that revenge? I thought so. So put the gun in the bag and stop thinking about wimping out. Yeah. Well, here’s the problem. I’m not sure I can, ah, well, you know, I’d hate to jinx the jar by talking about it before. It’s a sure thing, so you can’t tell me.

Well, let’s just say it makes good use of some of my skills and it could pay really well. Mm, and I shouldn’t be like worried that you won’t tell me any of the details. You know, I’m a changed man, don’t you? Yes, I do, and I’m very, very proud of you, but I rubs you, big boy. Oh.

Maggie wrote you a check. Yes. Why?

I don’t even know you yet. Here you are asking me to talk about something. So, Well, I was hoping you could put my mind at ease about, I told. I’m afraid my brother will get hurt, right, because now I’m back and I used to be married to Gabby and you were very much in love from what I hear. Could you maybe tell me what made you change your mind about her?

I don’t remember.

Oh, okay.

I assume that, uh, you’ve heard all the rumors as to why and Well, how I’m back. That Dr. Wolf guy. Yeah. See, people don’t seem to die in my family. More like they get deactivated and put into cold storage till they’re useful again. Oh yeah. So Gabby seems convinced that when Wolf brought me back, he did something to erase my feelings for her.

Well, do you think that could be true? Wolf swears up and down. He did no such thing. Gabby bought it Marks for me. Guess I stopped loving around my own. I see. You don’t seem reassured. I guess I’m not. Hmm.

Gabby is my past and I’m very much looking forward to my future. Is there someone else

might say that?

Well, There she is.

I broke it off with Chloe and I let you move into this house because if I hadn’t, you would’ve let Marlena, Kate and Caleb die. That’s the kind of woman you are. That’s the kind of woman you’re always gonna be so you can fix it. So Chloe changes job. I didn’t get finish. You can fix it. So Chloe changes jobs, but you’re not gonna change the way I.

I love her. I always will. He used to say those same words to me and you know you meant them.

And Victor hadn’t made me believe that our little baby was dead, was a lifetime ago. The lifetime of our little girl. Listen, keep your voice. Don’t you want her to hear everything that we’re talking just.

I am just trying to remind you, Vanessa, feel hook up. Remind you that whatever, whatever woman I loved before, she doesn’t exist. I don’t even know if she ever existed. Kristen did. Okay? Oh. No matter who I am, I have the means to keep Marlene and the others alive, and that is the only reason why you are in.

This is not the only. Rachel likes us being a family, and I want us to be a happy one. I’m not gonna, that’s never gonna happen. I understand that. I, I don’t know. I don’t know. You know what? , Chloe, Chloe will be better off. You’ll see. I mean, she’s accepted reality, even though you haven’t, that’s why she took this job.

So now you can just focus on us, you, me and Rachel. You blackmailed your way into this house and I’m never gonna change the way. Why am fighting again

the things we do for our children? Isn’t that Ra? Yes, mother. Oh, excuse me. I’ve been waiting for this cold all day. Thank you for getting back to me so quick. Hey, uh, thanks for not actually telling him what we were talking about. You what? I don’t like my only son, but, um, I mean, if you did do something terrible to his own brother, then yeah, I think the truth should come out.

So do you, uh, Have any of your, you know, vibes about me being on the right track or Johnny. Okay. You know what, my guess they, they, they, they only tell me what they want me to know. And, you know, I en crushed my fingers. That, that, that, uh, Elvis had nothing to do with the scrambling of your Uncle Stephan’s brain.

Me too. But look, if he did, then you, you know. You’re gonna have to prove it. Prove it in front of God and everyone else.

Mom came to see me this morning and offered us a little bit of money to tide us over. Took one look at this place. Huh? I told you I’d get us out of here. You don’t have any face in me. No, of course I do. But honey, if it embarrasses you to accept the money, then I will go and tell her, no,

Sarah, don’t go yet.

What’s with the doubts? Mom? Jake hated e. I’m sure that he wouldn’t mind me going after him, but it not like this. You know, Susan was his aunt or something. Do I have to say this again? Nothing is going to happen to Susan. We are holding her for a big ransom to hit EJ where he lives. His wallet. Come on, mom.

Be your authentic self. An evil bitch. Great. Well, I’m so glad to know my son thinks so highly of me. I’m in it as a compliment. Look, you already hired Xander. You told him the whole plan. You promised him his cut. There’s no turning back now.

Chloe, this is Wendy Shin Lee’s sister, Wendy. This is Chloe Lane. Hi. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. Wendy, could you give us a minute please? I need to speak with Chloe in private. No problem.

So I stopped by the end this morning. See you. And you had already. What are you doing here? Well, actually, Wendy’s brother offered me a job here and I accepted it. That’s great. Congratulations. Yeah. Thank you. I, I really hope this works out. I’m a little surprised and I thought you loved your job at Basic Black.

I do, but I can’t spend that much time with Brady anymore. I had to get outta that office. Mommy and daddy weren’t fighting honey.

It sounded like you were honey. Sometimes adults have to raise their voices when they’re talking about important things. I don’t like it. It makes my tummy hurt. Well, I didn’t know your tummy hurt. Shit. It was kind of hurting all day. Sweetie. Why don’t you tell me about that? I thought it’d go away, but it just got worse.

Oh, sweetheart, she’s feeling a little feverish. Show mommy where it hurts on your tummy right here. That could be her appendix. I mean, we should get her to the emergency room.

I’m sorry, love. I was an ass then. Oh, you were? Yes I was. But you know, I love Maggie. I just, I hate the idea that she thinks I can’t take care of you. No, she loves you too. She was just trying to help. I’m not gonna live off of you or her, but that’s my problem. I, I dunno. I’m just jumpy. I’m stressed that this job’s gonna fall through like all the others.

No way. I have a good feeling about it. It’s not anything illegal though, right? Bloody,

what? What is it? Nothing. It’s um, it’s actually a good thing they want me back for a second interview. See? See, I told you I had a good feeling and just to prove that I have complete.

And I’m all that charm. You both know you have. I’ll do best. You know that you can’t prove anything. That didn’t have been, no. But if my dad did do something to ste I’m gonna find out what it was.

Oh, hey, what does I say? Uh, you know what? I might be onto something. Fuck you. You be careful. Janna Damara, I mean, made you think this soldiers fun and game for I I have sensing some danger in this house. Well, then it’s a good thing I’m leav. Charles Ragona where she, which Grandma . And thank you again for covering for me.

Which grandma? That boy’s too nervous for his own good.

What’s. Oh, uh, he had to go someplace.

Mother, is there something wrong? Wait, so bumped over somebody else’s grave

land As long as we’re. Trust me, you’re doing the right thing.

I’m sorry. These premonitions of yours have been worrying you. Sometimes my gifts just feel like this heavy load, but I also know when you are not being honest with me. I thank you. Pardon? I walked in on you and Johnny with your heads together. Are you really talking about Ava?

Oh good. It’s you. Look, before you tell me what you found out. There’s something I have to tell you. My grandma knows what we’re doing, which grandma? My dad’s mom. No, don’t worry. Okay. She, she doesn’t know anything about you and, and she also promised that she wouldn’t say a word. So you sure you can trust her?

Yeah. She might be a little weird, but she doesn’t break a promise. So what do you got? I talked to Ste a day. How’d that happen? Well, I was working in the conference room and he just walked. I got him talking about him and Gabby good work. I said he has no idea why he stopped loving her. So Ralph did something to him.

Well, he said Gabby thought the same thing, but I swore he did it. Yeah, of course he’s gonna say that. Now. I bet that’s why they got rid of him because Gabby started sniffing around. That’s the other thing I wanted to talk to you about. I figure if Lee smuggled Dr. Ralph Outta town, he didn’t have a fly commercial, so he seems logical that he would use a Damer yet, but it turns out he hasn’t booked one for months.

Did I come all the way over here just for you to tell me we hit a dead end? No. I also found. That he requested a list of former damara pilots. Oh yeah. Yeah. Seems pretty suspicious to me. Get a copy of the list. Uh, do I look like an amateur?

It’s pretty long. Damara doesn’t seem like a very stable place to work, but I can start running background checks and see what we find. You know what? I don’t think you’re gonna have to do that.

She runs a little warm. I don’t think she has a fever. Hey, um, you feel like you have to throw up a little bit? Mm-hmm. , how much Halloween candy did you have since last night? Just one or two pieces. One or two pieces. You sure that’s what you said about your Easter basket and you were sick all day from that?

Remember honey, I have sweet tooth too. Look, Hey, I don’t, I don’t think we gotta go to the emergency room, but I do want you to lie down on the couch for a little bit. Okay? Okay.

Emma, mom, patient, I think you’re gonna feel a little icky for a while, but she’s gonna be okay. Yeah. I mean, you sure? It’s, she had too much Halloween candy. Oh, I don’t know. Let’s see.

Uh, I know, I know radio. She had a bone marrow transplant. I mean, don’t you think we should just get her checked out? Are you questioning my parenting? No, I’m not. I just don’t know what it would do if anything happened to her. Listen, she also gets motion sickness, right? I don’t wanna put her in a car while she’s nauseous.

Oh God. I just, I wish doctors would make house calls. I know one that might, okay, we’ll call them her. Sarah h.

Yeah, well, please tell her if she is willing to come, that I would be forever in her debt.

Interesting meeting place you picked at. Oh, where’d you wanna meet? Orton Town Square. Uh, I enjoy making deals like they’re surrounded by dead people. Okay, well you’re on the Dememer property. Aren. You didn’t have to go through the front gate, and Susan happens to be in the main house right now. You aren’t asking me to grab her tonight, are you?

Oh, I’m asking you to grab her right now.

You don’t seem too happy about your new job.

Actually I’m, I’m kind of miserable about it. Yeah, it must hurt, but, uh, you’re doing the right thing. For what it’s worth. I know that Brady cares about me, and maybe he still even loves me, but moving Kristin in with him after everything that she had. And him swearing to me that he would never be with her again.

I just, I don’t understand it and I never will. I’m so sorry. I just, I look at him and I, I think about all the plans that we made for our future, and now knowing that none of those plans are gonna happen. I decided that not seeing him is better than seeing him under these circumstances. You’re taking care of yourself.

I’m trying to.

I just wish it didn’t hurt so much.

Hey, things are gonna get better. Come here. You’ll see.

So how is she. I hear a lot of rumbling, which I think is your tummy’s way of saying that it wants more fruits and vegetables and less candy. But I like candy. Who is candy is. So good, but maybe only a couple pieces a day and after a meal and in turn you won’t feel like you have to vomit all the time. Is that a good deal, I guess?

Uh, yes. She’s also been under a lot of stress the last couple months. Well, um, a stress can lead to it 28th, um, but the situation has been taken care of. Brady and I mm-hmm. have handled it. Yeah. So, um, there’s. No emergency here, right? No. Her abdomen isnt tender, which means it’s not your appendix. Thank goodness.

Well, thank you. Thank you for coming over, Seth. Mm-hmm. . I’m always happy to, Rachel, I brought something for you and I only do this from my most. Some special variations.

What do you think? I love you. Love them. They’re yours,

Here we go. There you go. You always like sunglasses. Even when you were a baby , I think you’re gonna be feeling better soon. Okay. Try her with, uh, some sips of water and if she can keep that down, then you can move on to the tea or a carbonated drink. Yes, another drill. Good

Thank you.

Please. Um, let me pay you for your time and trouble. I was happy to do it for Brady and Rachel. I know it couldn’t be easy. I liked taking care of her again. I’m always gonna care about her. Please send me a bill. It’s the least I can do after kidnapping me and nearly ruining my life. I don’t want your money.

Xander’s not working. Xander has a job interview right now. We’re fine.

There’s one name on this list I’ve heard before. Ned Granger. He’s done a lot onto the table. Work for my family. In the past, my Aunt Kristen used him to kidnap two women and I thought my family was. I should have thought of his name before. Why is he not in prison? Well, uh, one of the women that my aunt Kristen kidnapped was my uncle Chad’s wife.

Her name was, uh, Abigail. Um, anyway, Chad figured out what was going on and Granger told him where Abigail was in exchange for a deal. My dad and your brother would still know that Granger’s breathable. So if they wanted to get rid of Ralph, odds are they would’ve hired him to do it.

Don’t like my only baby boy calling me liar. That’s not what I was doing. Johnny’s quite good at convincing people to do what he wants. I wonder where gets that from. I suspect he’s. Angry at me regardless of what he says. At the contrary,

if he asked you to choose size between him and me, I did no. Look, if he did, I wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t do it because I love you both and I won’t watch fish for the two of you.

You can’t ask me to grab Susan right now. Haven’t made a plan of egg noses in the house. I’ve made the plan. I know exactly who’s in the house and how it operates. This has to happen now, or somebody’s gonna get cold feet. It must be an easier way to get money out of VJ than trying to kidnap his mother from under his nose, find out when she leaves the house.

Okay? For one thing, I don’t know how long she plans to stay here for another. We could both use that ransom money sooner than later. So, So everything you need. Floro. Formm the old school, isn’t it? Yeah, it still works. You know how to use it. Just don’t get caught. Oh, really? Hadn’t thought of that. Be kind of the old gal.

Don’t hurt her. She’s someone’s mother. She’s someone’s grandmother. Yeah. I’ll treat you with kid gloves, latex. Anyway, hopefully soon this little be over.

So you think if we track down this greener guy, he lead us to wolf? I sure hope so, because if we can find Wolf, we’ll be able to prove that. My dad and your brother did brainwash my Uncle Stephan.

I’m sorry, I’m, I’m probably getting Musk out on your jacket. No, no, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to just . No, it. It’s okay. That felt better being pulled into someone’s arms and being pushed away. I just can’t stop thinking about Brady. I wish I could forget about him for just a few minutes. Maybe I can help with that.

You look like a movie star. I do not. Yes you do, but I lie to you. Okay. Here sweetie. Here’s some club soda. I’m sort of hungry. I mean, that’s good. That’s good. That means you’re feeling better. You’ve jettison the waste basket. Ah,

I’m glad you’re not finding anymore. Yeah. Well, there’s one thing that your dad and I can agree on is that we love you very, very much. Hey, you don’t ever have to worry about us. Okay? Come

I don’t worry Animals. Hm.

Calm down, mom. If anybody knows how to pull off a kidnapping, it’s you.

I know I never made you proud, but right now you are my pride and joy.

Ooh, I’ll go to Chuck on dinner. Oh, you know what? I already did that. You know your cook. She’s gonna make us those catfish nuggets that I love so much. We’re having fried catfish, . Sure. And she’s gonna add a lot of side pepper spicy when she pound in them out. Oh good. I look forward to that. Coming out in the morning,

Huh? I’m just.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

, you want me to be the model? I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. I mean, the energy in the photos you took of Nicole, that’s one thing, but seeing this live and in person, camera’s gonna eat this up. Okay. I, I’m not so sure about this. Oh, well I am. Look, Brady was fine, but the chemistry, Luke warm, you two are gonna be blazing hot together.

He, you said you still care about me. I do. And then I said that, you know, moving Kristen into your home two seconds after we break up. That’s a real funny way of showing it. And you said if there was any other way, what were you talking about, Brady? Any other way to do what? Chloe? Hey, glad I found you guys, Lee.

Um, hi. Um, what’s going on? Is there a problem at Corporator? More like an opportunity. Oh, okay. What can I do? Actually, I came to speak to Ms. Lane.

Ms. Hernandez Ali set me out with these wedding cake samples for you to try. Oh, thank you. Yes, they, they look great. Did you wanna wait for your fiance? That’s okay. Um, you could just leave them with me. He’ll be here soon. . Oh, I think I see him right there.

So let me get this straight. You heard your brother say that he shipped Ralph outta the country? Well, that’s what he told you, aunt Kristen. She didn’t sound too happy about it. Did he say why he did it? Kristin accused Lee of working with your dad. She assumed it was all part of e j’s. But Lee didn’t admit it.

Not exactly, but she thought I’m pretty convinced. So it’s gotta be more on the right track. Yeah, I guess, um, I guess looks like we just need to figure out where your brother sent, Ralph Lee left a bunch of papers he was working on here. Maybe I can find something.

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

No, this isn’t my fiance. It’s my ex-husband. Oh, I’m sorry. I just assumed. No worries. Yeah, we were married briefly. Didn’t work out so well, Lee. The groom should be here any minute, so thank you for these samples. They look great.

I mean, you’re looking for Candy Halloweens over. I’m aware. I’m looking for Chloe hoping to take her to lunch. Oh, how nice of you. Yeah. Stop by her room at the end. She wasn’t there, so I’m assuming she’s in the office today. Okay. So why are you telling me this? Because I was hoping that she would share her candy stash with me.

But I might as well have a piece of what’s all this

corporate has been very impressed with the work you’ve been doing here at Basic Bluff. Oh wow. Well, that’s nice to hear. You know, it’s true. Ever since you took over management of domestic sales profits have taken off. Well, she’s the best. I could have told you that Indeed, which is why I’m here. We’d like you to use that talent and expertise in, in a broader way.

So I’ve come to offer you a job at damara. Really? At Damara. Oh, hold on. You want, you want Chloe to go work with you at the corporate office? Don’t worry, Brady. We already have a large pool of qualified applicants to fill Ms. Lane’s position here at basic. Assuming she accepts my offer. Oh, wow, Lee. Um, I wasn’t expecting this.

I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say. . I do. Kristen put you up to this, didn’t she?

I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m EJ d. Yes, of course. I know who you are. Mr. Damara. Wendy. Wendy. Is that my dad? Is he there with you? Yes, this is my new boss. Better go, please soon. I’m so sorry about that. I’m Wendy Shin. Nice to meet you, Langley. I’ve heard so much about you. I hope I wasn’t interrupting your conversation.

Not at all. Oh, good. So tell me, who are you talking to?

First of all, Mr. Black. Chris and Damara doesn’t. Order me to do anything. Ah, come on. Kristin’s been dying to get Chloe and me away from one another. And although Chloe does deserve promotion, this says Chris had written all over it. It’s her style. You even where about the case? Miss Damara no longer has a position at this company.

Wait, she doesn’t work at Damara anymore. Ej um, relieved her of her duties, so I can assure you it. We’re offering you this job entirely on your own merit.

So what do we say? Do I have my models? Are we shooting a cover or what? Okay, Alex, I, I don’t think this is such a good idea. Why not? Nicole? You saw the photos there took of you. I mean, I already told you you were born for this, obviously, but when you two are together, you create. Magic. Yeah. When I was shooting the photos, maybe.

But who’s gonna shoot the cover? If I’m in front of the camera, I’ll do it. You are you enough photographer? I have a ridiculous, a good eye. Well, it doesn’t matter about your eye. What? Okay, look. Do you even have experience doing a photo shoot like this? I interned at the photo department at Bella directly outta college.

That was more than a few years ago. Looks like riding a bike. Listen, I know this is your magazine, but I’m guessing you don’t want to spend money on a reshoot. If this doesn’t work, it’s all good. This may not be the finished product anyway. What? Yeah, I wanna take some test shots, see if my theory stands correct and if it comes out.

Great as I think it will. Who knows? We might have a whole campaign on our hands. So this is just proof of concepts exactly, but a hell of a concept. First things first, we gotta get you into wardrobe. I have just the right thing for you, pal.

What exactly is this job that you’re offering me? My man? I need you, Alex. Listen, I, I’ve been rethinking this whole photo shoot thing. I really don’t want to be on the cover. Good. Because I’m replacing you just gotta get you outta that suit. What? Come on. Come on. I’ll explain On the.

Since you are so curious, these are my samples for my cake, for my wedding. Oh, your cake, your wedding. Uh, sorry, but I, I thought that the couples were supposed to make these decisions together or does your fiance not get to have an opinion? Lee had something to take care of this morning, but he’ll be here any minute.

Ah, sure. He. What was that? What was what? No, you just said, sure. He will like you. Don’t believe me. Why do you care? Because it’s annoying and insulting. You know what? Just say what you need to say. Just curious what Lee’s priorities are. That’s all. You don’t need to be curious because Lee understands we need to do this right away.

Why right away? Because we wanna get married as soon as possible. Why the rush all of a sudden, oh, well there is no rush. But there’s also no reason to wait now that your feelings for me are dead and buried.

It was just work, friend, not on the phone. Just now. I’m just friend from back home. I hope you don’t mind that I was making a personal. Company time, it’s fine. Well, I may secretly wish I could keep my staff chained to their desk during working hours. I understand that employees have their own lives. Oh, we appreciate that

And, uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it the middle of the night in Hong Kong right now it is. But my friend lives in Fairbanks or used to be stationed. Uh, yes. I’d forgotten that your father and brother had exiled you to the frozen north. They hadn’t. But I’m very happy to be here at Damara HQ in the room where it happens, so to speak.

I guess Fairbank isn’t exactly the center of the action. You could say that. I can understand why you’d be so eager to move on. From everything I’ve heard, you’re quite the go-getter. I like to think I’m a hard worker. And ambitious too. I gather. I couldn’t help overhearing that. You seem quite curious about your brother’s papers.

Was there something specific you were looking for?

Guess? You probably heard me on the phone before, huh? No, no. I gotta admit, I’m a little worried now that my dad walked in on Wendy while we were talking. I don’t think she can handle herself, but uh, I think you can agree. It can be a little intimidating. I know you probably wouldn’t approve of what I’m doing right now, but look, if, if my dad and Shin did do something, Stephan, then they shouldn’t get away with it.

Right? And I know my dad is your son, but so is Stephan and he, he even carries your name. That has to mean something. And you always said nothing’s more important than family. And family should never turn on. Hey, sure. Oh, I couldn’t agree with you more.

I guess you, uh, heard me talking to Nono just now? No. No. Nope. Nope. Oh, I mean, yeah. Is, I mean, you know, there’s be ashamed of, I mean, I talked to plenty of my relations that are passed down to the other side. You do? Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, We, I tell ’em my problems. We talk about current events and you know, I even, um, I share my recipes and beauty tips.

Okay. Hey, you know what? There’s no reason that you shouldn’t, you know, talk to your granddaddy. Um, uh, I mean, if it helps, it’s just, I wanna warn you, I wouldn’t listen to a word he says, cause that man that is just million, million mind, well, you, you don’t have to worry about that grandma. He doesn’t actually, you know, talk back, so, oh, he does.

You, oh, I mean, my elders, they talk back to me. Oh, the time. I mean, she’s like, yep, yep, yep, yep. I mean, even when I’m trying to sleep, they keep talking to me. Well, I’m. I’m sorry to hear that, but hey, I’m, it’s, it’s, it’s nice to have you back here in Salem. I’ve, uh, I’ve missed you. Oh, my grandma. Something wrong.

You know what? I just think my connection just got clear. Bad connection. Yes. Whew. Spirits that just sent me a message that include me. Oh. Great baby. You really are out to get your daddy, aren’t you?

I wasn’t looking for anything specific in my brother’s papers. Just try to drag him into the 21st century. Where was he before? Who knows? I mean, look at all. As much as I’ve tried to convince Lee to join us in the digital age, he’s much too loyal to our father to fully take that leap. Hmm. I have heard that way.

Like’s the older way of doing things. I’ve given up on changing my father. Well, let’s not get started about his opinions on women in power, but the man doesn’t believe anything is real unless it’s written on a piece of paper. He can hold in his hand and he feels the same way. Well, he’s his father’s son in many.

Of course then he can never find anything when he needs. It Sounds like you’re trying to help him get organized. Well, I decided one of my first acts in Salem would be to finally force my brother to save some trees and embrace the cloud, you know, to preserve his sanity. If nothing else, I, no BOGO besides, must be a huge security risk to have all this confidential information just lying around.

Sounds like your brother was very lucky to have. As far as the company’s security is concerned, you need not worry. Why is that? Because your brother’s papers are all in this building and only people with clearance have access to the executive floor, and we have no reason to suspect anyone working with Lee, including his very own sister.

I’m not trying to pressure you, Chloe. I know this offer must seem. I just didn’t realize I was even on your radar. Well, since the change of leadership, EJ and I have been trying to reevaluate our entire leadership structure, we’re going to rebuild the team of superstars. Oh, wow. Well, I am, I’m flattered. Uh, but don’t you have enough people in house who are just as qualified?

Maybe, but I believe in fresh voices, and I believe you could bring a new energy and creativity to the entire Dara Enterprise Executive Suites. You really think so? Well, I, I wouldn’t have made the offer if I didn’t, and this is coming from you and EJ alone. I told you Kristen has nothing to do with the company anymore.

That’s not who I was talking about. Mm. You’re asking about Stephan. I’m well aware of his romantic interest in you, and if I’m being honest, it’s one I’m happy to encourage. Excuse me. I believe in honesty, Chloe, and I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t like to see Stephan involved with someone. Someone who isn’t Gabby, your fiance,

Well, I’m not proud of the impulse, but when your bride to BE’S husband comes back from the dead, let’s just say one, can’t help but be a little, um, insecure. Yeah, I get that. But if you think that I’m gonna. Suddenly start working at Damara, and then Stephan and I are gonna, oh, it’s none of my business one way or the other.

Stephan, and your proximity is a fringe benefit, but I assure you this offer is about business. Stephan does nothing about it. So does this mean that you can finally accept I don’t love you anymore. Finally, yeah, I got tired of banging my head against them while hoping you’d remember. Remember my feelings.

Yes. Well, that was before I tracked Dr. Wolf down. You found him? Yeah. Charged into his lab and demanded he Tell me what he did to you to make you stop loving me.

What’d he say? Well, he said he saved your life, but that he’d done nothing to mess with your head or make you hate me. I see. And you believed him.

Why wouldn’t I believe Ralph? I mean, he has no reason to lie to me. Right. None that I can think of. You know, I’m glad you found Ralph because now you know that he did nothing to influence my feelings. And maybe you can move on from the past and we can go our separate ways. Yeah, we can, honestly, we don’t ever have to see each other’s faces again.

Right.

Hey, what? What the hell are you doing? I’m hungry and I figured maybe you could use an outside opinion. Well, I don’t care about your opinion on my cake or anything else. This is for me and my groom. Right? Your groom. You know I was your groom once and the way I see it, you denied me my rightful cake. What are you talking about?

When we were married, we didn’t even have a wedding reception. You kicked me out the way I. As soon as we set our I dos, so obviously our wedding was nothing but a sham. A way for you to get revenge on me. You like to pretend that we had this grand love story, but there was no love involved. No, no, no, no.

Our wedding day was completely meaningless. That is not true.

Listen, I know this is, I don’t know how we got it. Into this mess. You go first. No, you please. I was just gonna say, it seems that Alex pretty determined for us to take these pictures. Yeah. You even went to go get your wardrobe. Yeah. Are you okay with this? No. No. Not, not at all. I haven’t even told Reef that you took photos of me before and now we’re gonna be together on the cover of Bella.

Maybe. I mean, it’s just proof concept, right? Yeah, that’s what they all say. You know, we don’t have to do anything we don’t want to do. And the last thing I want to do is cause any trouble for you and ra. Just say the word and I will tell Alex to find another way to recreate his magic. Grandma, we already went over this.

I told you I was not dressed up as some crazy clown last night. Okay? All right. And I, I still believe you. I mean, I’m not getting any bojo vibes, right. Thank you. I, I think, well, honey, I, I know you’re up to something. I just, I wish you’d stop Fus footing around and tell grandma what its, I don’t know what you’re talking about, sweetheart.

I love you more than the king loves Lisa Marie, but I love my son just as much and he’s my baby boy. And I don’t want you to hurt him. I’m not doing, I’m not doing anything to him. Okay? He’s the one who did something wrong.

Of course, you’re right. My brother’s papers are completely secure in this office. Why do I get a sense there’s a box? Well, I guess I’m just a detailed oriented person. And as long as Lee’s beholden to his paper mistress, he won’t be able to work as efficiently as he could, his paper mistress. I’m just trying to help and I appreciate that.

I can see that the reports about your work ethic were correct. Thank you. No, thank you. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other. I hope so. Lovely meeting you Miss Shin. Welcome aboard and if there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate. Uh, now that you mention it, I was actually wondering if I could access the records for the Demer jet.

The Jet were full. Well, I promised I would put all of my brother’s expense reports on the accounting server, assume he is authorized to use the jet. Of course, all upper level executives are, I figured unfortunately, Lee’s expense reports are a little less than detailed, so if I could cross reference them against Dara’s internal records, I could reconcile exactly when used the jet.

And this is something that accounting. Well, apparently they’ve been wanting to ping me about this for a while, but considering his position, they’re more than happy to let his sister be the bad guy, something like that. Plus, since most of Lee’s travels or at regular intervals, I can install a new algorithm to prompting when to input any new data, so, okay.

Okay. I don’t need to hear any more details, but I will be more than happy to get you into the system.

You’re trying to tell me that your father, but dear Sweet Elvis sprain washed his own brother. I’m not a hundred percent sure, but all the evidence seems to point in that direction. Okay. But what I mean, why would he do something like that to his own Flushy blood? He barely even knows Stephan. Right. And as important as family is to my dad, his legacy.

Mean, he did everything he possibly could to push Gabby out so he could take Damara back. If Stephan comes back and sides with Gabby, they have more than enough shares to stay on top. Mm. But that still leaves the Elvis on the o place that he does not like to be. She’s saying that, um, my baby had, uh, Dr.

Roth, that nasty Dr. Ralph tinker with Stephan’s brain, so he would stop loving. And if it’s true, Stephan has a right to know. And soda’s Gabby, I thought she was, uh, gonna marry that Lee Feller. Yeah, because she thinks Stephan despises her. Oh, that’s just terrible. Oh my goodness. I mean, I mean, if she really does still love him and, and deep down, Stephan still loves.

I mean, we can’t let her marry the wrong kind. No, I mean, because love is God’s greatest gift of mankind, and we can’t let anyone stand in the way of true love. That’s exactly right. So you agree with me? I need to take down my dad to make things right for Stephanie and Gabby. Hold on, hold on, hold on. What?

Hmm? What is it are trying to tell me that. Feel so strongly you’re doing all this stuff because you feel so strong about Gabby and Stephan’s love. Yeah. Why else would I do it? Oh, honey, , you doing it for revenge because your daddy kicked a out on the I know, I know that you said that you, you’re gonna make them pay.

So you admit that marrying me was only an act of revenge? Yeah. And you framed me for Andre’s murder. Yet you want me to believe that our wedding meant something to you? It did. How am I supposed to believe that? Why? Why? Why are we doing this? What does it matter? Just want to. Okay, fine. Yes. I, I wanted revenge for what you’d done to me, other than thinking about coming home to my daughter.

It’s the only thing I thought about in prison, and then when I got out, duping you into marriage was, you know, a good way to ruin your life. Yeah, wonderful. But I was the one that ended up being duped myself. Why are, why are we doing this right now? Well, I don’t know. Closure. Look, nobody’s forcing you to answer.

Okay. For the sake of closure. Well, I was plotting against you. Yes. I started to have feelings for you and I didn’t wanna admit it. You fell in love with me. Yes. But I mean, I still hated you. I mean, what you did to me was unforgivable. Because of your obsession with AKA’s. Altered Gabby. I went to prison. I was viciously beaten because of that.

I can’t have any more children.

I’m sorry. So yes, I wanted to get back at you, which believe me, you deserved I was fighting back real feelings. I, I was. This wedding, it was just pure conflict. I mean, I had Harold put silk sheets on the bed. I ordered a cake that we were never gonna eat. It was fantasizing about spending the night with you.

It was dreaming about having this marriage with you for real. And that stupid cake, cutting the stupid cake on our wedding night. So there was a cake? Yes, but it was in the kitchen the entire time. Okay. That night I did cut a sliver of it. I was trying to celebrate my success. Right. How was it? It was delicious.

It was chocolate hazelnut ganache with blood orange jam failing. You know, it was the perfect combination of sweet and just a little bit of bitter exactly the way I like it. Hmm. So, uh, I like this one.

Yeah. I kind of like that one

Hmmhmm.

That is good. Hmm.

Here. You want to try?

What do you think?

Even better than I remember it.

So what do you say, Chloe? You ready to turn the page and start the next chapter?
