Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Jada joins Eric in his room and invites him to lunch. Eric says he’d love to but he has a photoshoot today. Jada thought he was still taking time off but Eric says that since Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are doing so much better because the serum is really working, he’s back at work. Eric then gets a text from Basic Black Corporate and then informs Jada that he just got fired.

Nicole sits at Basic Black and shuts her laptop. Chloe arrives and apologizes for being late. Nicole tells her it’s okay as she assumed Chloe and Brady would have a late night at the hospital but she’s glad to hear the good news about Marlena and the others. Chloe cries that she’s assuming Brady had a late night but it wasn’t with her because he dumped her.

John comes home to Brady and says he’s just picking up patient files for Marlena since she doesn’t want to take a day off work while recovering. John talks about being surprised that the serum showed up. Brady agrees that they got lucky. John asks him if everything is alright. Brady says the fact that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are seemingly cured is the best news ever. John questions why he’s trying to fool him then and what he’s not saying.

Kristen sits in her apartment, reading the article in the Spectator about Kate, Kayla, and Marlena being cured by a mystery serum. Kristen toasts a glass of champagne to their recovery and says they don’t know what it has given her. Stefan shows up and tells Kristen to be straight with him as he asks if she messed with his brain.

Brady informs John that he broke up with Chloe. John doesn’t understand. Brady explains that it’s not about Chloe but about Rachel. John understands that Rachel blames Chloe for not letting her see Kristen but argues that can’t be it. Brady claims that it is as he can’t put Rachel through much more. Brady knows it’s not fair to Chloe, but says Rachel comes first. John calls it so out of the blue since he was hopeful that Rachel would come around. John questions what the hell happened to make him stop all that and take such a drastic step. Brady thinks back to Kristen’s demands. Brady then tells John that it was only sudden to him because he’s been preoccupied. John argues that he hates to see Brady throw something so great away without thinking it through. Brady responds that he has thought it through and he doesn’t have a choice.

Stefan tells Kristen that he’s grateful to her for everything she did to bring him back but it’s his feelings for Gabi. Stefan says it’s almost as if something was done to his brain before he was revived and she was there, so she would know. Stefan asks Kristen why he hates Gabi so much.

Gabi visits Rafe in his office at the police station and asks him to spill the tea. Rafe informs Gabi that he and Nicole had a fight after he walked in on her comforting Eric with a hug. Rafe says it was understandable as they’ve always been close and Marlena was really sick. Rafe talks about how Nicole and Eric’s marriage didn’t end the way they imagined so it’s understandable that they still have unresolved feelings. Rafe admits he got more and more frustrated and exploded in a rant at Nicole, so he slept in his office. Gabi tells Rafe that he’s not where he’s supposed to be. Gabi tells him that he should be with Nicole, trying to fix this together.

Chloe cries to Nicole that Brady wants to be a good father so he’s put Rachel first and he is as upset as she is, but he keeps saying he doesn’t have a choice. Nicole can’t believe Kristen is using her daughter like this. Chloe says things were so good for her and Brady this time as it happened so quickly but it ended just as quickly. Nicole tells her that she’s so sorry but she knows what it’s like because she thinks she might be next and it’s her own damn fault.

Jada questions why Eric was fired. Eric reads the message which just says his services are no longer required. Jada argues that it doesn’t make any sense since they just hired him. Eric agrees but insists that EJ must have had something to do with it. Jada asks if the e-mail is from EJ. Eric sees that it is not and that it’s from Nicole.

Rafe tells Gabi that he thinks it’s a bad idea because if he goes home, he and Nicole could end up in round two and then they both end up losing. Rafe blames himself for letting this go too long. Gabi understands that Rafe was hoping it would go away and giving Nicole the benefit of the doubt like Li has been doing with her since Stefan came back. Gabi informs Rafe that Stefan served her divorce papers this morning, so it’s definitely long gone and she loves Li. Rafe is sorry as he knows that must have been tough. Gabi says she never expected to see Stefan alive again but she needs to get over it and accept that the person she loved with all her heart finds her repulsive and is disgusted by her. Rafe calls that crazy and insists that Gabi is beautiful, successful, and smart. Rafe argues that Stefan was lucky to have had Gabi. Gabi calls him a loyal brother and thanks him but says she’s accepted the fact that it will never work out for her and Stefan. Gabi adds that she can’t get rid of the feeling that Dr. Rolf did something to Stefan to make him feel this way but Rolf is hiding underground so she can’t track him down to confront him about it. Rafe reveals that he can tell her where to find Dr. Rolf.

Dr. Rolf cleans up his lab while complaining about the cops searching his lab. Li arrives and calls it quite the mess. Li informs Dr. Rolf that he may have a solution and suggests he leave the lab the way it is. Dr. Rolf asks if he lost his mind. Li responds that he needs a new lab with everything he could desire. Dr. Rolf would like to see it. Li says it’s a little more involved than just a drive. Dr. Rolf asks how far away they are talking. Li reveals it’s 10,000 miles away.

Nicole tells Chloe that she was shocked because she’s never seen Rafe so upset and angry. Chloe says she’s sorry. Nicole adds that Rafe hasn’t returned her calls and texts. Nicole can’t stop thinking about the day she had a sex dream about Eric and how she had to go see him, then Jada was there so she lied about why she was there. Nicole says her reaction to the dream and the feelings it stirred up is the sole reason that Eric ended up working at Basic Black. Nicole declares that it’s now taken care of.

Jada comments on Eric being fired by e-mail. Eric wonders if EJ forced Nicole or if he’s just not that good anymore. Jada thinks back to seeing Rafe and Nicole arguing about Eric working with Nicole. Eric then asks Jada what it is. Jada reveals that she thinks she knows why this happened. Eric questions what she means and how she could know. Jada reminds Eric that he asked her to go to the Pub to let Roman know about the serum last night. Jada informs him that when she got there, Rafe and Nicole were arguing outside and she didn’t mean to eavesdrop but she didn’t want to interrupt so she caught the end of their fight. Eric asks what they were arguing about. Jada responds that it was about Eric.

Gabi questions Rafe knowing where Dr. Rolf is. Rafe informs her that they raided his secret lab the other day, thinking they would find the serum. Rafe says they didn’t find it but they did find Dr. Rolf so he suggests starting there. Gabi decides she’s going. Rafe wants to send a cop with her but Gabi says she’s not afraid of Dr. Rolf and doesn’t need an escort. Gabi says she’s been wanting answers since the day that Stefan showed up and rejected her, so she’s kind of overwhelmed that she might get the truth.

Kristen tells Stefan that she’s not his enemy. Kristen says he’s her brother and she loves him, so if she could help him she would. Kristen questions why she would want to manipulate his feelings for Gabi even if she could. Kristen says that she and Gabi were allies against EJ at DiMera Enterprises and claims that she would love it if Stefan and Gabi were together. Stefan guesses that makes sense. Stefan says maybe he was thinking about it wrong since Kristen is obviously not anti-Gabi, so maybe she’s just pro-Chloe.

John questions Brady saying he had no choice but to break up with Chloe and argues that there’s always a choice. Brady claims he didn’t mean it to come out like that and says he’s doing what’s best for his child no matter what. Brady calls John a great dad so he gets it. John respects Brady’s decision and devotion to support his daughter, but he’s just sorry to see Chloe go.

Chloe questions Nicole firing Eric in an e-mail. Nicole admits that she took the easy way out and didn’t even give him a reason why. Nicole calls it the right thing to do since Rafe was so upset about Eric and brutally honest about it, so she didn’t have a choice. Chloe wonders why Nicole really fired Eric. Nicole says she just explained that. Chloe asks if it’s because she’s feeling guilty about lying to Rafe or if there’s more. Chloe questions if Nicole wants to get back on track with Rafe and for her marriage to work. Rafe then walks in and declares that he’d like to know the answer to that himself.

Eric asks Jada if this is all about something Rafe said. Jada confirms that Rafe was upset about Nicole hiring Eric and said that it was a terrible idea. Eric questions Rafe being jealous of him. Jada confirms that he’s jealous of Nicole’s feelings for him. Eric realizes that Nicole fired him to save her marriage.

Chloe decides to let Nicole and Rafe talk, so she exits the office. Nicole tells Rafe that she’s very glad he’s there. Nicole says this is so hard and she doesn’t know where to start. Rafe starts by apologizing for losing his temper and saying things he shouldn’t have said. Nicole feels she should be apologizing for pushing back on everything he said. Rafe says he just wanted to let her know where he was at emotionally. Rafe repeats that he said things he shouldn’t have said and that’s not how he wanted to handle it. Nicole tells him not to blame himself because she was unfair to him by being so close with Eric. Nicole acknowledges that it’s Jada’s place to console Eric and not hers. Nicole says that Eric doesn’t need her to employ him. Nicole wants Rafe to know that she heard him loud and clear last night when he said that Eric working here was a terrible idea, so she did something about it. Nicole informs Rafe that she fired Eric. Rafe responds that she shouldn’t have done that.

John apologizes to Brady for pushing him so hard about Chloe when it’s his business. John knows Brady doesn’t need him twisting his arm to do what he thinks is right. Brady asks if Marlena is doing good and getting better along with Kate and Kayla. John calls it a miracle and says there’s no other word for it. Brady calls that the best news ever. John declares that in reality, they both know the serum didn’t just drop from the heavens. John doesn’t have a clue where it came from but he just wants to be sure the serum will keep working. John says he will stay optimistic. Brady knows John feels skeptical about it, but his gut tells him that everything’s going to be just fine and the serum is working, so it doesn’t matter where it came from.

Dr. Rolf questions Li trying to get rid of him. Li says they both stand to gain from this but Dr. Rolf disagrees. Li reminds him that the police already suspect him to be linked to the disease that struck Kayla, Marlena, and Kate so Salem is not the place for him right now. Dr. Rolf reluctantly agrees with him and says he doesn’t have much to pack. Li tells Dr. Rolf that his private jet awaits. Dr. Rolf still feels like he’s running. Li says that he is but there’s no shame in that. Li adds that the police are not the only ones looking for him as Gabi is too. Li says that Gabi wants to know if he brainwashed Stefan in to hating her and warns that he doesn’t want that nor does Kristen.

Kristen questions Stefan thinking she did all these mind altering things to play matchmaker for Chloe. Stefan clarifies that it would be for Kristen and Brady. Stefan says it’s no secret that Kristen’s been obsessed with Brady and that Chloe was in her way while he then miraculously and coincidentally woke up from a four year long nap with this intense disgust for Gabi and an equally intense longing for Chloe. Stefan says that’s the only way he can explain it. Kristen admits it makes sense but points out the detail that Brady and Chloe broke up which she claims was no thanks to her. Kristen tells Stefan that means Chloe is free.

Brady tells John to call him from the hospital with any updates which he agrees to do. John goes to leave right as Chloe arrives. Chloe asks how everything is going at the hospital. John says Marlena is getting better by the minute and he doesn’t even want to think about what would’ve happened if the serum hadn’t dropped from the heavens. Chloe says she’s happy for him. John says it’s good to see her as he then exits.

Stefan questions how Kristen knows about Brady and Chloe. Kristen says good news travels fast and it proves her point that Brady and Chloe were a ticking time bomb. Kristen imagines Stefan still has lingering doubts about his feelings from before the four years he was gone until now. Kristen says he had four years to resolve his conflicting feelings and woke up with a new sense of purpose, having finally figured it all out. Kristen declares that Stefan is now finally going after what he truly wants. Kristen claims it’s just her opinion and suggests he trust his gut. Stefan apologizes for bursting in like this and decides to get going. Kristen says he has a lot to think about as Stefan then exits. Kristen remarks that she does feel a little bad for Stefan, but she doesn’t need him to come between Brady and Chloe anymore, though it’s better safe than sorry.

Li assures Dr. Rolf that leaving is the best option as it’s better to be safe than sorry. Dr. Rolf argues that he’s not intimidated by Gabi and he can handle her. Li calls him a genius and an idiot. Li argues that Gabi is a lioness and would get the truth out of him in two seconds. Li encourages Dr. Rolf to go, so he’ll also be out of Rafe’s jurisdiction. Dr. Rolf says he will need a little time to get his things in order. Li says he will send a car to take him to the airport and insists that he’s doing the right thing. Li then exits the lab.

Nicole doesn’t understand as she thought she did the right thing. Rafe says they are supposed to be partners and they aren’t in a good patch, but he doesn’t want her to fire Eric because of him. Nicole questions what he wants then and argues that she did it to fix them, but it hasn’t. Nicole questions what the next step is and where they stand. Nicole pleads with Rafe to tell her what she can do or what he wants. Rafe responds that he wants them to be okay. Nicole says she does too but questions if that’s possible after last night since Rafe didn’t even come home. Rafe apologizes and explains that he was worried that he would just make things worse if he did. Nicole suggests they could’ve worked things out and had incredible make up sex. Nicole tells Rafe that she missed him so much. Rafe says he missed her too and they kiss until Rafe gets paged back to the police station. Rafe tells Nicole that she will see him tonight and kisses her goodbye as he then exits the office. Nicole then sits back down looking frustrated.

Eric knows Jada feels bad for sharing what she overheard but he thanks her because he needed to know. Eric decides he’s not going to a photoshoot after all and his afternoon will be free, so they can have lunch here. Jada points out that her lunch break is over now. Eric apologizes for talking her ear off. Jada says she has to head back to the station but they agree on dinner as they hug.

Brady questions what Chloe is doing here. Chloe apologizes and says she won’t be long but she left some things in his bedroom. Brady tells her to go ahead. Brady then stops her and says he feels really terrible. Chloe cries that she knows why he did what he did. Chloe then heads to get her things. The doorbell rings and Kristen arrives with her bag packed.

Rafe returns to his office. Jada comes in after him and asks if he has a minute. Rafe asks what’s up. Jada says it’s kind of awkward but she accidentally heard some of the fight between he and Nicole last night. Rafe admits that wasn’t his best moment and he’s sorry she had to hear that. Jada assures that she didn’t mean to overhear but she felt that he should know that she told Eric what she heard. Rafe is surprised to hear her say that. Jada explains that she was with Eric when he got an e-mail from Nicole that he was fired and he was so confused and she didn’t know how to help him, so she felt he should know. Rafe tells her not to worry about it as everything will work out fine. Rafe tells Jada that he never told Nicole to fire Eric and actually told her it was a mistake and that she should rehire him. Rafe declares that he has to be able to trust his wife.

Nicole goes to Eric’s room and says she wanted to explain the e-mail from earlier. Eric says he knows she didn’t fire him over budget cuts and that it’s about her marriage.

Brady questions what Kristen is doing here. Kristen reminds him that they talked about this. Brady argues that he just broke up with Chloe last night and needs more time. Kristen argues that she helped him dodge a bullet. Chloe comes out with a box of her things and questions what is going on. Kristen guesses Brady didn’t have the chance to tell her that she’s moving in.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You’re looking for a job with spec? Yeah, we, we talked about this, remember? But then we got sidetracked when you realized Jennifer was the one who played Dan Gwen with her car. Just keep your voice down. Yeah. Sorry. I guess if I’m gonna work in the newspaper, bier needs to be a bit more discreet. But like I said, I, not to start as an executive, just wherever you can use.

Sorry, Jack. What’d you say? I’m afraid my answer is no.

You can’t tell anyone you saw me. No one can know that I’m here. Why? What’s going on? And what’s with the get up? I’ve been vanished from Salem. Here. Sit up. Mothers wanna. God, I’ve been calling, texting her for hours. No response. I’m starting to get really worried. I’m so sorry. Do you have any idea where she might be?

No, I don’t. All I know is that Eugene Damara forced her to leave town.

What are you doing here?

If my dad or your brother did put Ralph up in doing something to ste, there’s gotta be a trail, right? And maybe they’re still in contact with him. Worth looking into. I already tried hacking these email accounts. He’s got it well protected. Well, if it’s der, how maybe. All it would take is any other high level to merit password.

I could work my way in through back the, I don’t have a high enough clearance level for that, but maybe I could get into my dad’s. I asked you a question son, and I’d like an answer now. Uh, Stephan Beam to give me our divorce papers. That’s the errand you had to run. When I was leaving the building, I ran into my attorney and he informed me the papers were ready.

So you rushed over here to personally deliver them? I did. But imagine you’re anxious to get married. Just as I’m anxious to cut ties with Gabby. So yeah, I got here as soon as I could. Then I assumed their son. Not yet,

but as soon as they are, our marriage will be over and the two of you will be free to live your happily ever after,

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

Xander, look, I wanna help you. I do, but I, I just don’t think that bringing you onto the paper at this time is a good idea. I need to explain, Jack. I I get it. You do. Of course. I’m just not good enough. And look, I know I have some of the skills I might need to help you, but I like the integrity, the, the decency, the ethics.

You know, if you need someone to clean out your gutters or smuggle some diamonds, I’m your man. But to sully the hallowed holes of the spectator by hiring a scandal like me, I mean, you’ve been insult to the entire third estate, wouldn’t it? Fourth estate, huh? The press is known as the fourth estate. I see.

I top of everything else, I’m ignorant. I mean, just forget it was a stupid idea. It was not, it was not a stupid idea. Look, my decision has nothing to do with you and your, your character, your, your capabilities. And as a matter of fact, it is. It’s not about you at all. And then who is it about when

vanished from som? By whom? EJ Dara. Yet you are still here? Yeah, but he doesn’t know that. Thank God. So this visit, it needs to stay between us. Fine. I know I’m gonna regret asking this. What did you do to anger EJ so badly that you are banished from Salem?

I know that. Look, I saw it every time I caught you with your hand in the cookie jar. Well, can I say I have a, uh, wicked suites? If, if you are after suites, you’d be at your sister’s bakery, not sculpting around my office. Now tell me, Johnny, what have I caught you doing now, son? I’m losing my patience. Okay?

Okay. I will, uh, I’ll tell you. Well, I am here.

I came here to apologize for what? I’ve had some time to think and I realized that you were right about Ava.

Go on. She did lie to us. She just wanted to scam our family, and, and it was right after Uncle Jake died and I, I, it, I believed that she really was grieving and I wanted to comfort her, you know, felt good to be needed. None of it was real. I tried to tell you, son, I know,

I’m really sorry, dad. I, I, I feel like a total idiot. For buying her act. You really did care about her, didn’t you? I thought she cared about me too. The truth is she never cared about me. She was using me to get to you, which is what you said she was doing all along and you were right. You were a thousand percent right.

So, EJ is furious with you because you faked a marriage to Jake so that you could inherit his shares. It was Gabby’s idea. Oh God can’t believe she convinced you to put a wedding ring on a dead man’s finger. A man that I loved. Look, Jake and I were going to be married, and if he hadn’t been gunned down in cold blood, we would be married right now looking.

He proposed to me right before he got shot. I mean, look, we even picked out our engagement ring. I know, because that is the same engagement ring that Xander gave to me.

What does Gwen have to do with me working at the Spectator? Well, as I told you today, I’m checking her out of the hospital, which is wonderful. I’m sure she’s thrilled. She is, but she’s also worried. I mean, she doesn’t have a job. She doesn’t have a place to live. I, I’ve told her she can come home with me and I, I offered her a position at the paper.

So, I mean, it’s a huge operation. There must be more than one opening. There is perfect. And you can hire both of us. Sander, As much as I’d like to, I can’t. And why? Because if I did, my newsroom would turn into a fight club.

You hit ej, but And he’s not making you leave town too. I already left town. I live in Seattle. I don’t remember. Right. Sorry. I, uh, I got distracted. Picturing you going all Anderson sofa, . You’re into mma. Yeah, who is it? And just when I thought I couldn’t like you anymore. So what happened after you popped dj?

Uh, he was going to have me arrested. But your brother stopped him. He was there. Yeah. I tracked DJ down in his office. Yeah, when my brother is currently working as his right hand man. So why would he go to bat for you? He didn’t. He did? For you? For me. It’s to show his gratitude for what I did over the summer in Hong Kong.

You don’t have to be modest trip. You can say it. You saved my life.

You and your brother, Joey. While it is something that we will both be very proud of, especially because we both think you’re. Which we made embarrassingly obvious as I recall. Yeah, yeah. You kind of did. Well anyway. That’s why Leera my defense, maybe he really does care about me. It surprises you. No, it’s just am.

It doesn’t take me seriously. You know, he doesn’t see me as a capable, ambitious adult to him. I’m still the little girl in pigtails who followed him around when we were kids. More pigtails? No, not by choice.

I don’t know. Trip. Maybe I’d have an easier time if I just conformed a little more. I traded in the hoodie and sneakers for suit? No, when they don’t do that. Don’t change for anyone. You are amazing exactly the way you are.

Well, if I’m so amazing, what does my brother refuse to gimme a job?

This all looks pretty straightforward. I think it’d be best if you had a witness for your signature. I’d be happy to be that witness. So, which one of you wants to sign first?

I do.

I cannot wait to be rid of. Once and for all.

Fight Club. You’re saying Gwen and I are gonna be brawling at the office? Not, not literally, but tensions can run high and it is newspapers so there can be long hours and late nights. Wait, you’re not worried I’m gonna cheat on my wife. Are you? Of course not. Good cuz I love Sarah with all my heart and you know, I care about Gwen but his, for anything romantic, that ship has sailed.

I’m over her. Of course. I know. I’m just not sure that Gwen is over you.

Please, please tell me you are not still carrying a torch for that bozo Sanda. Why would you say that? Well, because when I brought up your former engagement ring, you got a little annoyed. I did not. Mm. Anyway, we’re talking about your love life here, not mine.

Tell me, tell me about this scam that you ran on ej. There’s not much more to tell. I was outta my mind with grief and Gabby took advantage of it. She really ambushed you here in the hospital. Yeah. Jake’s body wasn’t even cold and she is pitching me on all the clash that I’m gonna make if I pretend to be his.

The proverbial cat is now out of the bag. EJ found out that the marriage wasn’t real. He’s in and now she’s out. Well, that’s not your fault. She still owes you. So how about you take your problems to her instead of with me? Oh, because Gabby’s got problems over own. Well, what are you waiting for?

You know, you might be alive again, but you’re dead to me now.

I don’t care what Ralph says. If you don’t have heart anymore, Your turn, Lee.

All right. Well Lee, she’s all yours and you are free to marry the man you love following. You’re free to chase your precious Chloe Lean. You know, I’m gonna go ahead and file these. Because if you filed them, I wouldn’t want their authenticity to be questioned. See, I don’t want there to be any doubt that this marriage is finally and permanently.

Over.

I thought you already worked for Damara. Yeah. In the ass end of nowhere, Alaska. Right. I mean, nothing against the state. Really good people. It’s just. It’s not my home and I hate the weather, and so I want Lee to get me transferred here. Give me a promotion, which I totally deserve. That can mean I’d show him up.

None. The shins can’t have that. God forbid, little sister out Shine the first warrant. Son, this sounds pretty sexist. That one’s very sexist. But sadly, it’s still a man’s world. Well, look, I saw that move. You did the get away from my dad in Hong Kong. You can go toe-to-toe with any man. But if what I did over there, what you and Joey did, if that offended you in any way offended me.

Of course not. You’ve saved my life and I’m so grateful. I hope I made that clear and didn’t I just read about you saving another woman’s life by the rowing yourself at a window. Yeah, I guess I’m a little old school like that, always wanting to be the nine shining. Guess I’m a little ashamed to admit. I find that kind of hot.

Oh, relax Lance. A lot. I’m just checking out your hand.

Must have been some punch. There was actually more than one. Really? Who else did you hit? I am Wendy,

you all right? Yeah, I’m fine. Just, uh, thinking about everything a did to me, it was like getting punched in the face. Not painful, huh? I just, I, I, I can’t believe that I defended. You know, I even after she cop to defrauding our family, I actually told you that it didn’t matter to me that she lied to us, that she stole from us.

And I, I don’t know what else to say other than that woman is very persuasive. Hmm. And you and my son, Uh, less so. Excuse me. Sorry Johnny, but I’m having a little trouble believing this. Mayor Culper of yours. When I told Ava to leave Salem, you looked at me with sheer hatred and swore that you’d make me pay.

So I have a temper. Wonder who I got that from? Your mother. But the charm that you use to cloak what you are really up to, that that you inherited from yours truly, and despite all of my demer dna. Still managed to get played by Vitale. You say that, but I wonder if you believe it or if you are the one playing me.

What’s going on? Uh, I was just asking your brother how he ped up his knuckles. Uh, you okay? Yeah. No, it’s nothing. Good. Well, in that case, Wendy, it’s so good to see you. Okay. Wow. It’s, uh, good to see you too. Joey Trip told me about your mom. We’re really glad she’s okay. Thanks. Yeah, no, we’re all incredibly.

So what are you doing in Salem? Oh, I was hoping to get a job here, but my brother’s paying a total to, Oh, I can relate to that. Are you hilarious? Where are you staying? I’m still sort of figuring that out. There’s no way I’m crashing with Lee, but I can’t really afford a hotel. Oh, you can stay with us.

Did Gwen tell. That she still has feelings for me.

Uh, Gwe Gwen. No, no, no, no. Actually it’s just, uh, just an impression I got Say no more. Your daughter has to come first. But for the record, Jack, if you did take us both on. I’ve never lead Gwen on and Gwen’s determined to get her life back on track too, and I wanna support her in that, help her make better decisions than she has in the past.

So, you know, support her to, to learn from her mistakes so that she doesn’t make them again. Oh, come on Gwen. I’m not gonna ask you to do anything that you haven’t done before. That’s what I’m afraid of. So what is it exactly that you want me to do? Help me get back at ej. What do you mean get back at ej?

As you know, I am not the kind of person who responds well to threats. EJ needs to pay. He needs to pay for thinking that he can threaten me and run me outta Salem. All right, so here’s the deal. I just need you to get close. Get him like you, and then No, no. I’m not going to infiltrate the Dara family. I’ve done that once before.

It turned out to be a bloody disaster. I’m not asking you to infiltrate anything. I am just asking you to cozy up to ej. I can’t. You can’t. While I certainly can’t because if he finds out that I am still here, he’s gonna have me arrested and thrown in Statesville. Oh. Oh, you remember Statesville? Yeah. That place that you begged me to break you out of and I.

No questions asked. That was only for a few hours and that is also because you threw me under the bloody bus. Okay. Well that is not the point is it? The point is, I was the only person who could help you back then. Just like you are the only person who can help me. No, we are even, and I don’t have to help you with anything.

Okay. You want me to beg? I’ll beg. I may not have a husband or a home or a job, but I’ve still got my dignity and I refuse to tuck my tail between my legs and run because ej Dara told me to, I don’t care if he hates me, that he will not disrespect me, and I would go after him myself if I could in a heartbeat, But I can.

I need help. I need your help. Come on Gwen. What do you have to lose?

Look, I am admitting to you that you’re right. Why is that so hard to accept? It’s never happened before. Like I said, I’ve had some time to cool off and reflect. And I came around on Ava, came around on something else too. Oh, you’ve always said that my place is here at Damara. You are right.

After years fighting me, you’ve just suddenly changed your mind. This, this whole thing with Ava has, has clarified a lot for me. You know, I. About loyalty, legacy, what I want in life, and that’s to work here with me. Guy. I know I’ve resisted it for a lot of years, but maybe to use your words. It’s time for me to grow up, learn the family business.

What are you working on these days anyway? Oh, dad, you’re uh, computer slacked. What’s your password?

Oh, it looks like someone else also forgot. We live in Seattle. No, I don’t get it inside. Joke. Oh, you guys have inside jokes now. That’s awesome. Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s not that funny. Okay, so when are you guys uh, headed back home? As soon as I hear from my mom Sure. Hasn’t been able to reach her. She all right?

I think so, but I just wanna make sure and then we can head back west. Well, I mean, we don’t have to leave quite yet. Oh, Kayla’s better now. I just assumed she’s not even outta the hospital. I think we should at least stick around and help out. And if Wendy’s gonna be staying with us, then well, I wouldn’t wanna get in the way.

Oh, my parents have a, a townhouse, plenty of space. Two guest bedrooms, which we’re sharing one and Stephanie has the other. Right. So you can move in with Steph and Wendy come back with me. Oh, well, you’s know step way more than I do, so it actually makes more sense if you move with Steph and when mugs with me.

Or I could just fuck with stuff, Dude. Why are you making this so difficult? I’m just trying to do what’s best for Wendy. So am I guys. I appreciate the offer, but I’m just gonna go find my own. Nice going dummy. What did I do guys? I offered Wendy a perfectly good option. Oh really? Cuz I don’t think her idea of perfect is rooming with you.

Okay. Time out. As entertaining as this is, you’re gonna have to take it someplace else because I have work to do. So see ya.

I seriously get out of here. Go.

Don’t, no hard feelings. Never. You my best mate. Well, thank you. Thank you for under. Now you’re saying you’re a couple of months behind in your bills that they’re in, correct? Yeah. But to stop the bleeding, Sarah and I decided to move back in with Uncle Bick and Maggie. Temporarily. Not our first choice, obviously, but it’ll help.

All right. Well, how about this? I’ll lend you a couple of bucks until you find something. It’s a lovely offer, Jack, but no, I’ll figure it out. I always do.

What have I got to lose? Only everything that matters to me. Quinn, you already lost Sander. I’m talking about my father right now. My, my main focus is being the daughter that he deserves. You know, recovering from being slammed into by a motor vehicle, I’m doing much better. Thank you for asking. I’m glad you’re doing all right.

Any idea when they’re gonna let you outta here today? Jack has, uh, invited me to stay with him. He’s even getting me a job at the newspaper. . I’m nicely done. No, Stop. This is not a con. By some miracle, he’s given me a chance to do things right and there is no way I’m gonna muck it up. So whatever this scheme is that you are cooking up with ej, I’m out.

Well, you’re really turning me down.

I have root for you though. I hope you do it, Ava. I hope you make EJ pay

my password. Let’s see.

I was raw. Uh, a what? Johnny, You don’t belong behind a desk. You’re an artist.

You don’t, you don’t want me at Damara. Of course I do. I’d love nothing more than to have my son by my side. But you wouldn’t be happy here. You usually be out there creating, following your vision, bringing it, bringing it to life, like, I don’t know, Dad, the last vision I tried to bring to. It didn’t turn out so well.

You’re not gonna let a little thing like demonic possessions stop you from achieving your dreams, are you? If you can be the devil, you can beat anyone.

You’re right. Anyway, I’ve got a lot of work to do up, undo all the damage Gabby did as CEO is a lot bigger task than I imagine. Well, I’ll leave you to it then. Mm-hmm.

Hey, any luck? Nope. Security is so tight on my brother’s work Emails like trying to break into Fort Knox. How about you? My dad walked in on me. I went through his desk and does he know your Aja? Not a chance.

That’s correct. I want tied to security on all of the mirror’s, devices, desktops, laptops, phones, and as the head of it, I want you to personally oversee its upgrades. No, there is no active threat, but not everyone is happy about the recent change in leadership that you could never be too careful. Okay, thank you.

You okay? Sure. Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be, Gabby, you just signed your divorce papers. That had to be very difficult. Uh, Lee, what are you, what are you doing here? Isn’t this the first day? You being ej second in command, You know, that’s just temporary, right? Yeah. I love you and I, and I trust you. I know you’re looking out for me and that I’m biting time until I can get rid of EJ in all the other Demaris, and then I’ll just be you and me.

Shin Hernandez Enterprises.

Oh, he. Shim. I liked Mando. Oh, believe me. I know.

Well, Gwen, ready to blow this joint and head. Yeah, that sounds really nice. And Dad, yeah, thank you for giving me this chance and for still believing in me even after all the ways that I’ve disappointed you. It’s not gonna happen again. This time. It’s gonna be different. I’m going to be. And I’m gonna do everything that I can to make sure that you’re proud of me.

All of a sudden, Glen’s chips has a conscience. Now what? Where am I gonna find someone to help me? No, no, no. Phyllis, of course. I’m not trying to avoid you or your. You’ve been sending text messages as well. That’s strange. I I never got them, but I’m so glad you caught me because I do have some good news for him.

Yes. I, I’m finally getting out of your hair. I found a new place to live. Well, obviously I know I have to settle up. Remind me, uh, how much exactly do I own that much? And tell me, does the Salem in offer an installment plan? Cause I had a line on a job, but it fell through, so I just need a little bit of time.

Legal action, Darling. Phyllis, I’m sure it’s not gonna come to that. No, no, no. Don’t worry darling. I will find a way to come up with the money.

Problem solved.

You still haven’t told me why you came back here.

After what we just did. You’re still thinking about that . I mean, I’m curious. My sister texted me saying she was gonna stop by. Oh, she did? What’d she want? Well, um, she wanted to see if you would reconsider hiring her here at Damara and. But since you’re refusing, she was hoping I would hire her myself, but since you’re not CEO anymore, but if I was, I would hire her in a heartbeat.

And your sister’s a rockstar.

You’re not the first person today to remind me of her talents.

Maybe I do need to reconsider. Yeah. Maybe you should, unless you know you’re intimidated by powerful, strong women.

Okay. I just got a text from my mom. Is she okay? She’s fine. Thank God. She says she’s gonna check in again soon. And now that we know both of our moms are okay, we can head it back out to Seattle. Man, you’re pretty anxious to get back. Because you know, if we stay when you’ll choose me. Well, I mean, she definitely would choose me, but, uh, I’m actually just saving you the humiliation.

I don’t want let everyone to see my little brother crying. Okay.

You know, she’s into mma. No way. Mm-hmm. , dude, she can hack into anything. She’s a badass poker player and she likes mma. Mm-hmm. , she’s like the perfect woman. To Wendy picking the best Johnson, or, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? I do. And I will drink it there.

Who’s a Lee? Oh my God. Oh my God. He just offered me a position at Damara here in Salem. A good one. Congrats. Congrats. You, Uh, you got what you wanted, so I guess that means we won’t be working together anymore. Sure Will. If my brother and your dad got this Dr. Wolf guy to mess with Stephan’s head, I wanna know.

And my new job puts us one step closer to finding out the truth.

Stephan, I’m starting to worry about you. Everything okay? It is now. Just got divorced. It’s done. Yes, my widow and I just put pen to paper. Once the judge signs off, it’ll be official. I’m very happy for you, brother. It must be over the moon. Gabby Hernandez is out of your life forever.

Update written by Joseph

Jack questions Xander wanting a job at the Spectator. Xander reminds him that they talked about it at the Pub until Jack was sidetracked when he realized Jennifer was the one who ran over Gwen. Jack reminds him to keep his voice down about that. Xander says he’ll start wherever Jack can use him and asks what he says. Jack responds that he’s afraid his answer is no.

Ava shows up in a disguise in Gwen’s hospital room and tells her that she needs her help. Ava says Gwen can’t tell anyone that she saw her as no one can know she’s here. Gwen questions why and what is going on. Ava informs Gwen that she’s been banished from Salem.

Wendy and Tripp sit together at Julie’s Place as Wendy asks Tripp about his mother being missing. Tripp tells her that he’s been calling and texting for hours with no response so he’s starting to get really worried. Wendy says she’s so sorry and asks if he has any idea where she might be. Tripp responds that all he knows is that EJ forced her to leave town.

Johnny goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and begins searching through folders on the desk, believing the password has to be there somewhere. EJ then comes back in and questions what Johnny is doing there. Johnny thinks back to planning in to hacking DiMera accounts with Wendy. EJ asks Johnny again and demands an answer.

Gabi informs Li that Stefan came over to give her their divorce papers. Li questions that being the errand that Stefan had to run. Stefan explains that as he was leaving the building, he ran in to his attorney, who informed him that the papers were ready. Li questions Stefan rushing over to personally deliver them. Stefan says he imagines they are anxious to get married, just as he is to cut ties with Gabi, so he got there as soon as he could. Li assumes they are signed then but Gabi says not yet. Stefan declares that as soon as they are, their marriage will be over so Li and Gabi will be free to live their happily ever after.

Jack tells Xander that he wants to help him but he doesn’t think bringing him on at the paper at this time is a good idea. Xander complains about not being good enough and lacking the skills for the job, then tells Jack to forget it as it was a stupid idea. Jack explains that his decision has nothing to do with his character, capabilities, or about Xander at all. Jack reveals it’s about Gwen.

Gwen questions who banished Ava from Salem. Ava tells her it was EJ DiMera. Gwen points out that she’s still here. Ava states that EJ doesn’t know that, so this visit needs to stay between them. Gwen agrees and asks what she did to anger EJ so badly that she’s banished from Salem.

EJ questions Johnny as to what he has caught him doing now and warns that he’s losing his patience. Johnny then claims that he came to apologize because he realized EJ was right about Ava since she did lie to them and just wanted to scam their family after Jake died. EJ says he tried to tell him. Johnny tells EJ that he’s really sorry. EJ acknowledges that Johnny really did care about Ava. Johnny claims that Ava was just using him to get to EJ and that EJ was right.

Ava informs Gwen that EJ is furious because she faked a marriage to Jake to inherit his shares. Ava clarifies that it was Gabi’s idea. Gwen can’t believe Gabi convinced Ava to put a wedding ring on a dead man’s finger. Ava argues that she and Jake were in love and if he wasn’t killed, they would be married now. Ava reminds Gwen that Jake proposed to her right before getting shot and even picked out her engagement ring. Gwen angrily reminds Ava that it was the same ring that Xander gave to her.

Xander asks Jack what Gwen has to do with him working at the Spectator. Jack informs Xander that he’s checking Gwen out of the hospital today and she’s worried as she didn’t have a job or a place to live, so he told her that she could come home with him and offered her a job at the paper. Xander argues that it’s a huge operation so there must be more than one opening. Jack confirms there is, so Xander suggests hiring both of them. Jack responds that he’d like to, but he can’t because his news room would turn in to a fight club.

Tripp tells Wendy about how he punched EJ. Wendy questions how EJ isn’t making him leave town too. Tripp reminds her that he already left town and lives in Seattle. Wendy jokes that she got distracted by picturing Tripp going all Anderson Silva. Tripp is impressed to learn that Wendy is a fan of MMA and says he didn’t think he could like her more. Wendy asks what happened after he hit EJ. Tripp explains that EJ was going to have him arrested but Li stopped him. Wendy is surprised that Li was there but questions why Li would go to bat for him. Tripp reveals that Li did it for Wendy to show his gratitude for what he did for her over the summer in Hong Kong. Wendy acknowledges that Tripp and his brother Joey saved her life. Tripp says that’s something they will both be very proud of. Tripp adds that they both think Wendy is great and that’s why Li sprang to his defense. Wendy wonders if Li really does care about her then since he doesn’t take her seriously or see her as a capable, ambitious adult. Wendy wonders if she would have an easier time if she conformed a little more. Tripp tells her not to change for anyone and calls her amazing exactly the way she is. Wendy questions why her brother refuses to give her a job then.

Li goes over the divorce papers and offers to be the witness for their signatures. Li asks who wants to sign first. Stefan decides he does and declares that he cannot wait to be rid of Gabi once and for all as he signs the divorce papers. Stefan then hands the papers to Gabi.

Xander questions Jack thinking he and Gwen would be brawling at the office. Jack points out that tensions can run high while there could be late hours and long nights. Xander assures that he’s in love with Sarah and he’s over Gwen. Jack responds that he knows, but he’s not so sure that Gwen is over him.

Ava questions if Gwen is still carrying a torch for Xander. Gwen asks why she would say that. Ava points out Gwen getting annoyed at her former engagement ring. Gwen denies that and says they are talking about Ava’s love life, not hers. Gwen asks Ava about the scam she ran on EJ. Ava says there isn’t much more to tell as she was out of her mind with grief and Gabi took advantage. Gwen questions Gabi ambushing her in the hospital. Ava confirms that Jake’s body wasn’t even cold while Gabi was pitching her on all the cash she could make. Ava says that EJ found out the marriage wasn’t real, so he’s in and now Gabi’s out. Gwen argues that it’s not Ava’s fault so Gabi still owes her. Gwen suggests Ava take this up with Gabi instead of her but Ava responds that Gabi has problems of her own.

Stefan questions what Gabi is waiting for. Gabi declares that Stefan might be alive again, but he’s dead to her now, as she then signs the divorce papers. Gabi doesn’t care what Dr. Rolf says and remarks that Stefan doesn’t have a heart anymore. Li then signs the papers as well. Stefan tells Li that Gabi is all his and Gabi is free to marry the man she loves. Gabi angrily responds that Stefan is free to chase Chloe. Stefan decides he will file the papers himself so there is no doubt that this marriage is finally and permanently over. Stefan then exits the room.

Tripp thought Wendy already worked for DiMera. Wendy complains about being stuck in Alaska, so she wants Li to get her transferred here with a promotion but he doesn’t want her to show him up. Wendy states that it’s sadly still a man’s world. Tripp hopes she wasn’t offended by what he and Joey did in Hong Kong. Wendy repeats that they saved her life and assures that she’s so grateful. Wendy brings up hearing about Tripp saving another woman’s life by throwing himself through a window. Tripp guesses he’s old school and always trying to be the knight in shining armor. Wendy admits she finds that kind of hot. Wendy then checks out Tripp’s hand and comments that it must have been some punch. Tripp admits it was actually more than one, so Wendy asks who else he hit. Joey then arrives and interrupts them.

Johnny remarks to EJ that thinking about everything Ava did to him was like getting punched in the face. Johnny claims that he can’t believe he defended Ava and calls her very persuasive. EJ responds that Johnny is less persuasive and admits he’s having a hard time buying this. EJ brings up how when he forced Ava to leave Salem, Johnny looked at him with sheer hatred and swore to make him pay. Johnny blows it off as just having a temper. EJ acknowledges the charm he used to cover up what he’s really up to and how he got that from him. EJ questions if Johnny really believes he got played by Ava or if Johnny is the one playing him.

Joey questions what’s going on. Wendy explains that she was just asking Tripp about how he banged up his knuckles. Joey hugs Wendy and says it’s so good to see her. Wendy says she’s glad to hear his mom is okay. Joey questions what Wendy is doing in Salem. Wendy says she was hoping to get a job but her brother is being a dork. Tripp jokes that he can relate to that. Joey asks where Wendy is staying. Wendy admits she’s still figuring that out. Wendy refuses to crash with Li and admits she can’t afford a hotel, so Joey suggests she stay with them.

Xander asks Jack if Gwen told him that she still has feelings for him. Jack thinks back to interrupting Gwen’s dream. Jack tells Xander that it was just an impression he got. Xander understands his daughter has to come first but assures that if he did hire them both, he would never lead Gwen on. Jack says that Gwen wants to get her life back on track and he wants to support her on that by helping her make better decisions than she has in the past and help her learn to not repeat her mistakes.

Ava argues that she won’t ask Gwen to do anything she hasn’t done before. Gwen says that’s what she’s afraid of and questions what exactly Ava wants her to do. Ava wants Gwen to help her get back at EJ. Ava says she doesn’t respond well to threats so EJ needs to pay for thinking he can threaten her and run her out of Salem. Ava just needs Gwen to get close to EJ and get him to like her. Gwen says no and refuses to infiltrate the DiMera family as she did that before and it was a disaster. Ava just wants Gwen to cozy up EJ but Gwen says she can’t. Ava argues that she can’t do it because if EJ finds out she’s still in Salem, he will have her arrested and thrown in prison. Ava reminds Gwen how she broke her out of prison with no questions asked. Gwen argues that was only for a few hours and because Ava threw her under the bus. Ava points out that she was the only one who could help Gwen back then and now Gwen is the only one who can help her. Gwen argues that they are even, so she doesn’t have to help her with anything. Ava offers to beg and says she refuses to tuck her tail and run just because EJ told her too. Ava declares that she doesn’t care if EJ hates her but he will not disrespect her. Ava adds that she would go after EJ herself in a heartbeat if she could, but she can’t, so she needs Gwen’s help. Ava questions what Gwen has to lose.

Johnny asks EJ why it’s so hard to accept that he’s admitting EJ was right. EJ points out that it’s never happened before. Johnny insists he had time to cool off and reflect, so he came around on Ava. Johnny brings up that EJ always said his place is here at DiMera and he was right. EJ questions suddenly changing his mind after years of fighting him. Johnny claims that the whole thing with Ava has cleared up a lot for him about loyalty, legacy, and what he wants in life. EJ asks if he wants to work here with him. Johnny knows he’s resisted it for years but maybe it’s time for him to grow up and learn the family business. Johnny asks what EJ’s working on these days anyway as he opens up the computer. Johnny then points out that it’s locked and asks what EJ’s password is.

Tripp reminds Joey that they live in Seattle. Wendy asks when they are heading back home. Tripp says as soon as he hears from his mom. Wendy tells Joey that Tripp hasn’t been able to reach Ava. Joey asks if she’s alright. Tripp says he thinks so but he just wants to make sure and then they can head back. Joey points out that they don’t have to leave quite yet, noting that Kayla isn’t out of the hospital yet. Joey suggests they can stick around to help out and have Wendy stay with them. Wendy doesn’t want to get in the way. Joey goes over how Steve and Kayla have a townhouse with two guest bedrooms. Tripp reminds him that they are in one and Stephanie is in the other. Joey suggests Tripp can move in with Stephanie while Wendy bunks with him. Tripp argues that Joey knows Stephanie way more than he does so it would make more sense for Wendy to bunk with him. Wendy suggests she could bunk with Stephanie while Joey questions why Tripp is making this so difficult. Tripp and Joey argue that they are both trying to do what’s best for Wendy. Wendy says she appreciates the offer but she will just find her own place. Joey and Tripp blame each other and argue until Wendy stops them and tells them to take this somewhere else because she has work to do. Wendy then kisses them both on the cheek and then they leave as Wendy goes back to work.

Jack offers Xander a handshake and asks if there’s no hard feelings. Xander hugs him and assures he’s still his best mate. Jack thanks him for understanding. Jack asks about Xander being a couple months behind on his bills at the Salem Inn. Xander reveals that he and Sarah have moved back in to the Kiriakis Mansion temporarily which is not their first choice but it will help. Jack offers to loan Xander some money until he finds something but Xander says he’ll figure it out as he always does. Xander then exits the hospital.

Gwen tells Ava that she has everything that matters to her to lose. Ava reminds her that she already lost Xander. Gwen says she’s talking about her father as being the daughter that Jack deserves is her main focus along with recovering from being slammed in to by a motor vehicle. Ava asks when Gwen is being released. Gwen informs her that it’s today and that Jack has invited her to stay with him. Gwen adds that Jack’s even getting her a job at the newspaper. Ava congratulates her on that while Gwen insists this is not a con and that Jack is giving her a chance to do things right, so there is no way she will muck it up. Gwen declares that whatever scheme Ava is cooking up with EJ, she’s out. Ava questions Gwen turning her down. Gwen says she is rooting for her and hopes that Ava makes EJ pay.

Johnny asks EJ for his password but EJ shuts the computer and says he was wrong as Johnny doesn’t belong behind a desk, he’s an artist. Johnny questions EJ not wanting him at DiMera. EJ assures he’d want nothing more than to have his son by his side but he wouldn’t be happy there. EJ encourages Johnny to be out there bringing his vision to life. Johnny brings up that his last vision didn’t turn out so well. EJ remarks that if he can beat the Devil, he can beat anyone. EJ says he has a lot of work to do as undoing all the damage that Gabi did as CEO is a bigger task than he imagined. Johnny decides to leave him to it then and exits the office.

Johnny returns to Wendy at Julie’s Place and asks if she had any luck. Wendy says she hasn’t because security is too tight on Li’s email. Wendy asks about Johnny’s luck. Johnny informs her that EJ walked in on him going through his desk, but insists there’s no chance that EJ is onto him.

EJ makes a call, saying he wants the tightest security on all of DiMeras devices including desktops, laptops, and phones. EJ asks the head of I.T. to personally oversee the upgrades and says there is no immediate threat but they can never be too careful.

Li asks if Gabi is okay. Gabi claims she is and asks why she wouldn’t be. Li says she just signed her divorce papers and knows that had to be very difficult. Gabi questions what Li is doing here when it’s the first day of him being EJ’s second in command. Li reminds her that is just temporary. Gabi tells Li that she loves and trusts him so she knows he’s looking out for her. Li states that he’s biding his time to get rid of EJ and all the other DiMeras, then it will just be them as Shin-Hernandez Enterprises. Gabi calls it Hernandez-Shin as she likes to be on top. Li assures that he knows as they kiss.

Jack returns to Gwen’s room and asks if she’s ready to head home. Gwen says that sounds really nice and thanks him for giving her this chance and for still believing in her after all the ways she disappointed him. Gwen promises this time will be different and she will do everything she can to make sure he is proud of her.

Ava complains about Gwen suddenly having a conscience and wonders where she will find someone to help her now. Xander walks by while on a phone call with the Salem Inn about how much he still owes. Xander says he just needs a little time and assures he will find a way to come up with the money. Xander hangs up and exits the hospital. Having overheard him, Ava declares that her problem is solved.

Gabi and Li lay in bed after having sex. Gabi points out that Li still hasn’t told her why he came back to the room. Li questions her still thinking about that after what they just did. Gabi says she’s curious. Li tells her that his sister texted him that she was going to stop by. Gabi informs him that she did. Li asks what she wanted. Gabi responds that Wendy wanted to see if Li would reconsider hiring her in Salem and then hoped Gabi would hire her, herself. Gabi says if she was still CEO, she would hire Wendy in a heartbeat because she’s a rock star. Li admits that she’s not the first person today to remind him of Wendy’s talents, so maybe he does need to reconsider. Gabi agrees unless he’s intimidated by powerful, strong women.

Tripp and Joey sit together at the Brady Pub. Tripp gets a text from Ava and says she’s fine and will check in again soon. Tripp tells Joey that now that they know both of their moms are fine, they can head back to Seattle. Joey questions Tripp being anxious to get back, arguing that if they stay, Wendy would choose him. Tripp says she would choose him so he’s saving Joey the humiliation. Tripp brings up Wendy being in to MMA which impresses Joey, who calls her like the perfect woman. Joey and Tripp toast to Wendy picking the best Johnson.

Wendy gets a text from Li and exclaims that he just offered her a good position at DiMera here in Salem. Johnny congratulates her on getting what she wanted and guesses that means they won’t be working together anymore. Wendy assures that they will because she still wants to know if Li and EJ worked with Dr. Rolf on Stefan and her new job puts them one step closer to the truth.

Stefan returns to the DiMera office. EJ asks if everything is okay as he was starting to worry. Stefan announces that he just got divorced as they just signed the papers and once the judge signs off on it, it will be official. EJ tells Stefan that he’s very happy for him and declares that he must be over the moon because Gabi is out of his life forever.

Update written by Joseph

Johnny is at the DiMera Mansion and calls Wendy Shin, leaving her a message to call back when she gets it because he has something important to talk about. The doorbell rings and it’s Tripp. Johnny didn’t know he was in town and invites him in. Tripp explains that he came back because of Kayla being seriously ill. Johnny mentions Marlena also being sick and asks how Kayla is. Tripp informs him that Kayla and Marlena are on the mend which Johnny calls great news and says he’ll have to give Marlena a call later. Tripp tells Johnny that he just came here to visit his mom but Johnny informs him that Ava left town. Tripp is surprised and asks why. Johnny reveals that EJ forced her to leave.

Wendy goes to see Gabi in her and Li’s room at the Salem Inn. Gabi greets her and mentions not knowing she was in town. Wendy is surprised Li didn’t tell her. Gabi says they have a lot going on. Wendy informs Gabi that she asked Li for a job at DiMera Headquarters but he shot her down. Wendy adds that she came here to try and convince him but points out that since Gabi is CEO, maybe she could overrule him. Gabi responds that she’s sorry but she’s not going to be able to do that because she’s not CEO anymore.

EJ trashes Gabi’s nameplate from the desk at the DiMera Office. Li questions that being necessary while EJ calls it enjoyable. EJ reminds Li that he said being engaged to Gabi wouldn’t be an issue which he confirms. EJ declares that now that he’s returned to his rightful position on top of DiMera, no unnecessary distractions will be tolerated. EJ states that his sole focus is running his empire. Li points out that it’s their empire as he wouldn’t have this position if not for him. EJ declares that he is CEO now and tells Li to be clear where he’s loyal since he knows what he did to Stefan.

Johnny informs Tripp that Ava and Jake were never really married and how EJ was ready to send Ava to prison for fraud but he made a deal to not press charges if Ava left Salem for good. Tripp can’t believe it and guesses Ava was ashamed to tell him. Johnny says he’s sorry and that he tried to talk EJ out of it since he really likes Ava. Tripp questions him feeling that way even after she tried to scam his family. Johnny responds that none of that mattered to him as much as Ava did. Tripp questions what that means. Johnny explains that he and Ava got really close after she moved in. Tripp questions how close they got.

Gabi informs Wendy that she was voted out as CEO this morning. Wendy questions who is in charge. Gabi informs her that it’s EJ DiMera and that he’s been wanting to get rid of her and anyone who supports her since he came back to town. Wendy guesses that means Li is out too but Gabi reveals that Li is staying on as EJ’s number two.

Stefan joins EJ and Li in the DiMera Office. EJ tells Stefan that he’s happy to have Li on board but it doesn’t change the fact that he took Stefan’s position. Stefan says they all want what’s best for the company. Li remarks that he wouldn’t have stepped in to the role if his father didn’t have doubts about Stefan. EJ argues that it’s obvious that Stefan is competent and once they prove that he’s capable of taking his rightful place as co-CEO, it’s only a matter of time before that happens.

Gwen has a dream about Xander coming back to her and saying he still loved her and wanted to get back together. Gwen then is woken up by Jack arriving.

Xander joins Sarah at the Kiriakis Mansion and greets her along with Maggie. Sarah talks about having a long night after an entire high school football team came in to the hospital with food poisoning. Xander reveals to her that he’s been upstairs because he swallowed his pride and asked Victor if they could move back in.

Tripp questions Johnny about how close he and his mom got. Johnny talks about how Ava was going through a really hard time after Jake died while he was bummed about Chanel leaving him for his sister, so they kind of leaned on each other. Tripp asks how. Johnny says they just gave each other a shoulder to cry on and that was it other than the time they saw each other naked but that’s not what he thinks. Johnny adds that there was also the time when EJ caught them in bed, so Tripp then punches Johnny.

Wendy questions Gabi about EJ naming Li as his second in command. Wendy then thinks back to Johnny’s theory that EJ and Li could be working together. Wendy tells Gabi that she didn’t realize EJ and Li had that kind of relationship. Gabi says they don’t and explains that Wei Shin and the board had doubts about Stefan. Wendy comments that it must have been a shock to Gabi when Stefan showed up. Gabi calls that an understatement. Gabi says when she lost Stefan, she thought her life was over and prayed for a miracle. Wendy points out that she got one but Gabi says he’s not the same man that he was. Wendy questions what she means. Gabi says it’s like a switch was flipped in his brain and now he hates her. Wendy asks if she has any idea why. Gabi doesn’t know how to explain it. Gabi brings up Dr. Rolf and says she feels like somehow in the process, he turned Stefan against her. Wendy asks why he would do that. Gabi responds that Dr. Rolf never liked her but admits going through that much trouble just to make her miserable doesn’t make sense. Wendy asks if it wouldn’t be out of spite. Gabi says there is always a larger purpose behind Dr. Rolf’s experiments.

EJ suggests getting down to business as he, Li, and Stefan sit at the desk. EJ declares that they must make sure they never lose control of the company again. EJ adds that they need to agree that everything discussed here remains confidential. EJ talks about Gabi being extremely dangerous so they don’t want to give her opening. Li assures he will keep his personal life separate from DiMera, so he has nothing to worry about. EJ doesn’t know why Li doesn’t get rid of Gabi altogether. EJ remarks that Gabi may dress nice but she’s a feral cat who used their family business to give herself respectability. EJ calls Gabi trash and argues that she did nothing for the company but taint it’s name. Stefan then interrupts and shouts that’s enough.

Tripp apologizes for hitting Johnny. Johnny understands that Tripp thought he was bragging about sleeping with his mother but clarifies that nothing happened. Johnny admits he would’ve done the same thing if he thought Tripp slept with his mother. Tripp guesses he’s sensitive when it comes to DiMeras because of how EJ treated Ava. Johnny doesn’t blame him and admits EJ was a total ass. Johnny adds that he really does care about Ava and thinks she got a rotten deal. Tripp asks if he has any idea where she went but he doesn’t. Tripp decides to see if he can track her down. Johnny wishes him luck in finding Ava as Tripp then exits the mansion.

Wendy tells Gabi that she’s kind of bummed not to be working for her anymore since she thought a female CEO at DiMera gave her hope about moving up in the company. Gabi says she was so impressed by her and was really looking forward to working with her. Wendy points out that they’ll still be seeing a lot of each other since Gabi is going to be her sister in law. Wendy asks when the wedding day is. Gabi says they haven’t set one yet but they will soon. Gabi tells Wendy that she will likely be the first to know. Wendy decides to get going. Gabi says it was nice to see her and she will let Li know that she stopped by. Wendy tells Gabi that for what it’s worth, she deserves better about the job as she then exits.

EJ questions Stefan if there’s a problem as he thought he couldn’t stand Gabi. Stefan responds that his personal feelings about Gabi have no bearing on his reaction but he just believes that speaking of ill about Li’s fiancée to his face is uncouth. EJ asks if he’d prefer he do it behind his back. Stefan then asks to be excused as he just remembered a pressing errand he has to run and exits the office. Li questions why EJ is pushing Stefan about Gabi and if he’s testing Dr. Rolf’s conditioning. EJ confirms that he is because he needs to make sure it’s working and given his behavior, he’s not sure it is. Li argues that Stefan only defended Gabi because of him but EJ doesn’t believe it. Li questions what they do if Stefan’s feelings for Gabi are starting to resurface. EJ suggests sending Stefan back to Dr. Rolf for a tune up. Li says that Dr. Rolf will just assure him he’s just fine. EJ argues that he’s wrong as Stefan might have cracked after another insult towards Gabi. Li accuses EJ of finding this amusing and enjoying it. EJ remarks that Li obviously doesn’t. Li decides he’s leaving. EJ questions what his problem is. Li complains about EJ’s total disrespect for him and the woman he plans to marry. EJ reminds Li that he just said he is loyal first to the company. Li tells EJ that he doesn’t appreciate him badmouthing his fiancée for any reason. EJ questions what exactly Li is going to do about it.

Jack brings Gwen flowers in the hospital and congratulates her because she’s finally getting out of the hospital. Gwen is surprised to learn she’s officially being released today. Jack confirms he’s here to walk her out which Gwen says she would like very much. Gwen tells Jack that when he walked in, she was dreaming of Xander. Jack knows how much Gwen loved Xander and that those feelings don’t just go away. Gwen acknowledges that Xander is happily married to Sarah and that she said she would let him go but after her accident, he was right there and had this concern in his eyes. Gwen feels it was like Xander cared about her.

Maggie questions Xander and Sarah both wanting to move in to the Kiriakis Mansion. Xander admits that crawling back to Victor was not his first choice. Maggie questions if they can’t afford an apartment. Xander admits he’s racked up debt at the Salem Inn and has no way of paying it off. Maggie brings up Sarah’s salary. Sarah mentions that she’s still on probation and not full time again yet. Xander adds that living in the mansion won’t be forever and only until he gets back on his feet financially which he hopes to be soon as he just asked Jack for a job at the Spectator. Xander mentions not getting an official offer because Jack got distracted by Gwen’s accident. Xander then thinks back to Jack realizing Jennifer hit Gwen.

Jack tells Gwen that she’s right that it was obvious how concerned Xander was and that he does care about her. Gwen assures that she gets that Xander chose Sarah over her. Jack just doesn’t want to see Gwen waste her time, pining away for someone who won’t return her feelings. Jack tells Gwen that she deserves happiness too. Gwen questions if she does after how she treated Sarah and Abigail. Jack says they all make mistakes. Jack encourages Gwen to think about what she’s going to do with the rest of her life when she gets out of here and to focus on the future. Gwen questions what future since she doesn’t have a job or a home. Jack says there’s something he can do about that in the short term and invites her to come home with him.

Wendy walks through the town square and listens to Johnny’s voicemail. Johnny then approaches and says he’s been trying to get in touch with her. Wendy says she just got his message and she has something important to talk to him about too. Johnny suggests they take this somewhere more private.

EJ tells Li that he meant every word he said about Gabi and questions if he’s going to defend her. Tripp then bursts in and confronts EJ, asking who the hell he thinks he is. Tripp informs EJ that Johnny just told him everything so he knows that EJ forced his mom to leave town. EJ mocks everyone throwing temper tantrums today. EJ tells Tripp that Ava got exactly what she deserved for trying to defraud his family and company. Tripp argues that Ava was grieving and trying to keep her head above water. EJ remarks that she just made up a lie about his dead brother. Tripp complains that even if Ava and Jake weren’t married, they were engaged and they loved each other. EJ brings up Ava jumping in to bed with Johnny. Tripp tells EJ that he’s too late if he’s trying to shock him because Johnny already explained everything. EJ wants to know how Tripp reacted to that. Tripp asks if EJ wants to know and then punches EJ in the face.

Gabi sits in her room looking at her engagement ring until Stefan shows up at her door.

EJ hopes Tripp punching him was worth spending the night in jail and threatens to ruin his medical career after charging him with assault and battery. Li suggests being lenient on Tripp, pointing out that Tripp and his brother saved his sister’s life in Hong Kong earlier this summer. Li says he knows Tripp is a really good guy, who just lost his temper because he’s worried about his mom. Li adds that if EJ calls the police, this becomes a major story and asks if he’s sure he wants that kind of publicity when he just took over. EJ reluctantly agrees not to go to the authorities. EJ warns Tripp to get the hell out before he calls security to drop him off the roof. Tripp thanks Li and then exits.

Johnny and Wendy go to Julie’s Place. Johnny goes over how they both have something important to talk about and asks who goes first. Wendy decides she will and informs him that she just got back from going to visit Li, only he wasn’t there and Gabi was. Johnny tells her that his news was the same thing; that Gabi has been ousted from DiMera, EJ is back in charge, and Li is his second in command. Wendy thinks this is exactly what they’ve been looking for. Wendy feels it’s proof that EJ and Li have been in cahoots all along. Johnny argues that it doesn’t prove they had anything to do with Stefan. Wendy mentions how Gabi said Stefan has been acting different ever since he came back, like he hates her without any reasonable explanation. Johnny asks if Gabi had any theories on why that might be. Wendy informs him that Gabi thinks Dr. Rolf might have brainwashed Stefan but also that Dr. Rolf doesn’t do anything without a purpose. Johnny wonders if EJ or Li put Dr. Rolf up to it.

Gabi questions what Stefan is doing at her room and guesses he came to gloat about voting her out. Gabi asks if he doesn’t have better things to do now that he got his shares and partnered up with EJ. Gabi questions him being here to taunt her instead of at the office with EJ. Stefan responds that he didn’t come to taunt her.

EJ wipes blood from his nose from Tripp’s punch. EJ tells Li that he hopes his sister appreciates him going to bat for her knight in shining armor. Li doubts it as they aren’t on the best terms. EJ asks why not. Li informs him that Wendy showed up in Salem yesterday and asked for a promotion at DiMera, but he said no way. EJ asks if she’s good at what she does. Li admits she’s the best, so EJ suggests he should reconsider since what’s best for DiMera is best for both of them. EJ tells Li that he should go find his sister and congratulate her on her promotion as he exits the office.

Wendy tells Johnny that maybe they need to talk to Dr. Rolf and asks how to track him down. Johnny says if EJ or Li put Dr. Rolf up to doing something to Stefan, there has to be a trail and says it’s worth looking in to. Wendy mentions that she already tried hacking in to Li’s e-mail but it’s protected. Johnny says if it’s a DiMera account, maybe he can help. Wendy says she’d need a high level DiMera password. Johnny says he doesn’t have that clearance but maybe he could get in to EJ’s. Wendy asks how since he can’t just ask him. Johnny admits EJ is paranoid but he had a severe injury a couple years ago and is still sensitive about lingering memory lapses so he writes everything down so he doesn’t forget. Johnny says if they could get in to EJ’s computer, they might not need Li’s. Johnny decides to head to the office now while Wendy decides to continue trying to hack Li’s e-mail. Johnny tells her that he will text her if he finds anything and walks away. Tripp then arrives and is surprised to see Wendy, who excitedly hugs him.

Gabi asks Stefan why he is here if not to gloat. Stefan informs her that he came here to deliver divorce papers as he imagines Li wants to get married soon, so she’ll need to be divorced first. Stefan says once Gabi signs the papers, he will file them and they can be rid of this mess of a marriage once and for all. Gabi points out that Stefan didn’t sign the papers. Stefan says he hasn’t yet. Gabi questions what he’s waiting for and tells him to go first.

Xander goes to the hospital and tells Jack that he wanted to follow up with him about bringing him on at the Spectator since he could really use a job. Xander asks if it’s looking good.

Tripp asks what Wendy is doing in Salem since he thought she lived in Alaska. Wendy responds that she thought he lived in Seattle. Tripp explains that he does and he came back because his stepmom had a health scare. Wendy says she’s sorry and asks if she’s alright. Tripp confirms that she’s fine now but he just found out that his mom disappeared.

Ava shows up in a disguise in Gwen’s hospital room and tells Gwen that she needs her help.

Johnny goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and sees that it’s empty so he begins searching through folders on the desk, believing the password has to be there somewhere. EJ then comes back in and questions what Johnny is doing there.

Stefan asks Gabi why it matters who signs the divorce papers first. Gabi questions why he didn’t sign them before he came if he hates her so much. Stefan assures that he wants this over as quick as possible, so Gabi tells him to sign. Stefan then takes the divorce papers but hesitates. Gabi questions what is stopping him from doing it. Gabi argues that she knows something in his brain is telling him to despise her, but urges him not to sign the divorce papers. Gabi knows he feels something and that something left inside of him still loves her. Li then comes home and questions what is going on in here.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wendy, listen, it’s uh, it’s Johnny. Gimme a call back when you get this. There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important.

Trip . I, I, I didn’t know you were in town. Come on in. Yeah, I’m just here for a while. Uh, I came back because Kayla has been seriously ill. I’m sure you know all about that. Yeah, of course I do. Yeah. Uh, my, my grandma Marlene has also been sick. How is Kayla? She’s down the mind, Thank God. And, uh, and so as your grandmother, really No, that’s, that’s great news.

Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. It’s a huge relief. I’ll have to, uh, give my grandma a call. Yeah, I’m sure she’d like that. Uh, anyway, I just came by to see my mom. Is she around? Oh, you, you didn’t know your, your mom. She left town. She moved away. Why? Uh, because my dad forced her to two.

It’s great to see you, Wendy. Uh, when did you get in yesterday? My brother didn’t mention. No, No. But um, in his defense, we have a lot going on. Then I’m guessing. He also didn’t mention that I asked him for a job at Damara headquarters. Then he shot me down. He said, No, sure did. So I came here to ask him to reconsider.

But since you’re ceo, maybe you could. Overruling, I’m sorry, Wendy, but I’m not gonna be able to do that. I’m uh, not CEO anymore.

Goods to bad A rush. Was that really necessary? Probably not, but it was certainly.

When I offered you this job, you said that being engaged to Gabby wouldn’t be an issue and it isn’t good because now that I’ve returned to my rightful position at top to mirror, no unnecessary distractions will be tolerated. My sole focus is running my empire, our empire. You wouldn’t have this position if it weren’t for me.

However, I’m the one who is here. I’m CEO now, so let’s be clear why your loyalties lie, especially since I know what you did to my brother.

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

So are, are you saying that my mom and Jake were never even married? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, my, my dad hired a team of detectives and. They were able to prove that Ava concocted that whole lie. He was ready to send her to prison for fraud, so it took off. He made a deal with her. He agreed he wouldn’t press charges if she agreed to leave Salem for good.

I, I, I don’t believe this if. I guess you didn’t tell me because she was ashamed. I’m sorry. For what it’s worth, um, I, I tried to talk him out of it. I really like your mom. Yeah. Even if she’s tried to scam your family. Nah. It’s just business. So the damaris lose a little pocket change. None of that mattered to me as much as your mom did.

What does that mean? Faster. She moved in. She and I got really close. Oh really? How close

you? You were voted out as ceo. That sucks. Just happened this morning. So who’s in charge E, Dara, Of course. Another entitled Straight White Guy. Yeah, but it’s no surprise to me he’s been wanting to get rid of me ever since he got back into town. Me and anyone who supports me. Guess that means Lee’s out too.

Nope. Nope. Lee’s still there. In fact, he’s being kept on Esky days number two. Oh, really?

Good morning, Stephanie. Morning. I assume you overheard me. Chiding Shin. I did, but I’m not sure over what? Well, it was on your behalf actually. You see why I’m happy to have Lee on board. It doesn’t change the fact that he only ascended to his current role by usurping your position. I was simply trying to keep the company on track.

We all want what’s best for the company, right? And I hope you know I wouldn’t have stepped in if my father hadn’t expressed his doubts about your mental competence. Doubts that are completely unfound. I appreciate the support EJ s Stephen. It’s obvious to me as it should be to anyone that you are totally com manis, and once we prove unequivocally to all concern that that is the case and that you are capable of taking your rifle places as my co ceo, it’s only a matter of time before that comes to pass.

It’s not right Lee. Of course.

Gwen. Gwen.

Oh, Quinn haven’t been able to start thinking about you. Oh, since I watched them wheel you in here after that accident. What? What you talking about? I’ll see you lying there looking so helpless knowing that you could have died. When that moment I realized I still love you, Quinn.

You love me. I never stopped loving you. I just keep thinking back to all the great times that we had, all the, the laughs and the love making. I miss those times. I miss you.

What about. Oh, Sarah was this ideal in my head. I convinced myself that she was the perfect woman for me, respected doctor from a good family, and then when she came back, felt obligated to reconcile. But now I realize that’s what it was, an obligation because the person I really want to be with, It’s you after all for kindred’s spirits, aren’t we?

Oh, and you. You are my one true love now and forever. That is, if you’ll still have me, if I’ll still have you of. Of, I’ll still have you. Oh, Sandra, I you, I love you with all my hots.

Uh, Gwen. Gwen

dad. Hi.

I can come back if I’m interrupting.

Good morning. Beautiful. Hi. Oh, and good morning to my equally beautiful mother-in-law. Oh, you know you don’t have to butter me up, Xander. You know I adore you. Just save those compliments for your wife. You’re exhausted. Burnt out, wife. Oh, bumpy nights. Bumpy and long. An entire high school football team came in with food poisoning.

You really haven’t lived until you’ve seen giant humans vomiting on one another. You paint quite the picture still. I think I prefer that to what I’ve been doing this morning. Why? Where have you been upstairs? I swallowed my pride and asked Uncle Vi, We can move back in.

Answer me Jay. Just how close did you and my mom get? Or you’re, you’re asking if, if we, Yeah, I’m asking if, Okay. Look, Ava was going through a really hard time, you know, it was right after Jake died and I was still pretty bummed about Chanel leaving me for my sister. Um, and we just kind of, you know, Leaned on each other, leaned on each other, how we just, we, we gave each other a shoulder to cry on.

And that was it. Yeah. Pretty much. Other than, Well, that there was that time we saw each other naked, but, But that’s, What’d you think? And then even when my dad caught us in bed, we just came,

EJ named my brother as his second in command. Yeah. Why do you think my brother and your father could be working together? I don’t know. It’s possible, right? They both want the same thing. I, I do don’t realize EJ and Lee had that kind of relat. Hey, don’t. So why wouldn’t EJ put his brother Stephan in that position?

The thing is that your father and the board had some concerns about Stephan’s cognitive abilities. I mean, the man’s been in a coma for four years. Must have been a shock to you when he showed up. It’s shock. That’s a, Well, that’s an understatement. You know, when I lost him. I thought my life was over. I prayed over and over for a miracle.

You got one? I did, but uh, it’s not the same man that he was. What do you mean?

I don’t know. It’s like a, a switch was flipped in his brain and now he hates me. Do you have any idea why? I don’t know how to explain it. Except. Except what? All right. Look, Dr. Wolf, he’s the mad scientist that we can thank for Stephan’s return. I just feel like somehow in the process, he turned my husband against me.

Why would he do that? I don’t know. Wolf Wolf’s never liked me, but yeah. No, no. Through that much trouble just to make me miserable. Doesn’t make sense. Okay? So if he did do something to make Stefan hate you, it wouldn’t have been out of spite. No, no. That’s not the pattern of this lunatic. Now there’s always some larger purpose behind his experiments.

Should we get down to business?

Now that Dira is back in the family’s control, we must make sure we never lose it Again, you’re here, but before we begin, we need to agree that anything we discuss here remain confidential. You don’t have any problems keeping secrets from your fiance, Dude, . I wouldn’t have accepted this job if I did.

Because thanks to her, long over you dismissal. She’s a wounded animal and that makes her extremely dangerous. The last thing we want is to give her an opening. I assure you, I will keep my personal life separate from Dira. You don’t talk in your sleep. Do you have nothing to worry? When it comes to Gabby and I, honestly, I don’t know why you don’t get rid of that woman altogether.

Excuse me. She may dress some nice clothes, but Gabby Hernandez is a feral cat who used our family business to give herself respectability as if that were possible. The woman is trash, a low red schemer. She did nothing for this company, but taint its good name with her. Nasty Bette. That’s enough.

Oh, yeah. Now, now you want to help me. Hmm? I’m sorry. I’m honestly not sure why that happened. It happened because you thought I was bragging to you about sleeping with your mother, which I did not. You didn’t. But but you just said Yeah, that my dad caught us together in bed, but nothing happened. Seriously.

Oh. Uh, be all right. I’m fine. Yeah. That my, my jaw’s gonna be a little sore later, but I’ll. I’m sorry, I, I shouldn’t have done that. Probably would’ve done the same thing if, uh, I thought she slept with my mother. So I guess I’m just a little sensitive when it comes to Damaris cuz the way your dad treated my mom.

Yeah. I, I, I don’t, uh, I don’t blame you. You know, it was a total s. But like I said, I, I, I really do care about your mom and I think she got a raw deal from my family.

Do you have any idea where she went? I don’t. Sorry. It’s okay. Thanks. I’ll see if I can track her down and I’m sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. Just, uh, Good luck finding your mom.

You know, I’m kind of bummed that I won’t be working for you anymore considering my father’s rather retrograde ideas about women having a female ceo. Damara actually gave me hope about moving up in this. No, I appreciate you saying that, but Wendy, I was so impressed by you. I really wish we could have worked together well.

We’ll still be seeing quite a bit of each other.

You are gonna be my sister-in-law, right? ? Yeah, I am indeed. Yes. Your brother told me you were the. Person he called after he proposed. Yeah, I was honored to be his very first call. Congratulations.

So when’s the big day? Uh, well we actually haven’t said it yet, but soon, hopefully. Great. Keep me boasting, Coursey. You’ll probably be the first one to know that too. Thanks.

Well, I. I should probably get going. Yeah. It was really nice to see you and I’ll definitely tell Lee that you stopped by. Yeah, thanks. It was, uh, it was good to see you too,

Gabby. For what it’s worth, you deserve better. Better than you brother. No. I mean about the job,

Is there a problem? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought you couldn’t stand Gabby. No, my, um,

my personal feelings about Gabby have no bearing on my reaction.

I just believe that speaking Ill about a man’s fiance to his face is, uh, unco to say the least. Oh, you’d prefer I do it to him behind his back, You know, if you’ll excuse me. I just realize there’s a pressing that I have to run.

How are you pushing all like that about Gabby? Are you testing rolls conditioning? Precisely. I need to make sure it’s working, which given his behavior just now, I’m not sure it is. If you heard Stephan, He’s the only defending Gabby because of me. Oh, come. No, you don’t believe that anymore than I do. Okay.

So his feelings for Gabby. It might be starting to resurface. What are we gonna do? It might be time to send old Steph back to the good doctor for a tuna. Ralph’s just gonna assure you that his conditioning is holding up just fine. Then he’s wrong. One or two more insults to Gabby, and he might have cracked, at least by the very least, best an aneurysm.

I’m glad you’re finding this so amusing. You’re enjoying. Well, you obviously don’t. In fact, it looks like you might bust an UR yourself. I’m outta here not until you tell me what the hell your problem is. My problem is your total disrespect for me and the woman I plan to marry. Whoa. And here I thought your first loyalty was to D Mirror.

In fact, you just said as much of me a few minutes ago and quite emphatically at that. Well, I’m about to say something else quite emphatically. I don’t appreciate you bad-mouthing my fiance no matter what. The reason I really, And what exactly are you going to do about it?

Oh, at least for me. Oh, who else? Congratulations my dear. What for? For getting out of here. Finally. I’m here to spring. You really? Are they officially releasing me today? That’s what they told me. I’m here to walk you into the sunlight if you’ll let me.

Of course. I’ll let you. I’d like that very much.

So, so, um,

Dad, about, for what you saw earlier, Oh, oh, oh, no explanation necessary. You’re a grown woman. You have very right to, uh, have a slogan with a pillow if the pillows consenting

right.

I suppose I was dreaming well, it looked like a very nice dream, and unless you were fantasizing about the state puffed marshmallow, man, I can assume that the pillow was a stand in for Xander. Sadly, Gwen, I know how much you loved him, and I know that those feelings don’t simply go away because we want them.

And no, they don’t. And yes, I know that he’s married to Sarah and I, I know that they seem to be happy together. And yes, I know that I said that I would let him go. But, but what?

But after my accident, he, Hey, it was right there. He had this concern in his eyes. No, it was, it was, It was more than that. It was, It was like he cared about me.

You both wanna move in here. Well crawl back to Uncle Victor is hardly my first choice, but I see another option. You can’t afford an apartment. And I’ve racked up a fair amount of debt at the sale moon and I have no way to pay it off. So, Well, Sarah, you’re earning a salary? Uh, well half a salary cuz I’m still on probation, not full time yet.

Oh. And it won’t be forever. It’s just like getting myself back on my feet financially, which will hopefully be soon. Just asked Jack for a job. You’re gonna work for Jack at the spect. Well, I haven’t had an official offer yet, but that’s not cuz Jack was distracted. But I think Jennifer’s the one who had Gwen

Sanders. Jack was distracted by Gwen’s Aism of, Of course,

you’re right Gwen. Zander heard that you were hurt. It was obvious how concerned he was, and he does care about you, sweetheart. But honey, he chose Sarah. He loves her, and he chose her over me. Yes, I, I get it when I, I, I don’t want to see. Wasting your time pining away for someone who’s not gonna return your feelings,

you deserve happiness too. Gwen, do I? After what did to Sarah and to Abigail, I made my mistakes. We all make mistakes. You know what I want you to do? Is to concentrate on feeling better. Figure out what you’re gonna do with the rest of your life, not that you’re getting outta here. Focus on the future. The future.

What future I, I don’t even have a job. I don’t have a home. Well, I suppose there’s something I can do about. Least in the short term. How about if you come home with me,

Wendy? Listen, it’s, uh, it’s Johnny. Gimme a call back when you get this. There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important. Hey, Wendy, I’ve been trying to get in touch with you. Yeah. I just got your. I have something important to talk to you about too. Okay, well then, uh, maybe we should take this someplace a little more private.

I meant every what I said about Gabby. You want to defend her on good? Right ahead. What the hell do you think you are? Excuse me. How the hell did you get in here? Johnny just told me everything. I know that you forced my mom to leave town . Once we, they, we been throwing temper ats today. Oh, so you’re at.

Why would I? Your mother got exactly what she deserved. She tried to defraud my family and my company. She was grieving and trying to keep her head above water by making up a lie about my dead brother. Maybe they weren’t officially married, but they were engaged. They loved each other. Oh, is that why she waited a whole five minutes before jumping into bed with my son?

Didn’t he tell you that? Look, if you’re trying to shock me, you’re too late. Johnny already told me everything. Oh, really? And how did you. Oh, you wanna know how I reacted? I do. Okay.

One day, did you forget something?

Oh.

Oh. I hope that was worth spending the night in jail. Not to mention blowing your medical career after you were charged with a sort of battery. Let’s show the guy some leniency. Huh? Tripping. His brother saved my sister’s life in Hong Kong over the summer, so I’m not only grateful to him, but I know he’s a really good guy who just lost his temper because he’s worried about his mom.

Not to mention it, if you call the. This becomes a major story. You sure you want that kind of publicity, right? When you’ve just taken over?

Fine. I want to love the authorities,

but get the hell out of here before I call in security and have them drop you off the roof accident.

Thank you

so. You have something important to discuss? I have something important to discuss. Who goes first? I go first. That was easy. I just came back from visiting my brother. Okay. Only he wasn’t there. Gabby was, And it turns out that Gabby has been ousted from Damara. My dad is the new CEO And your brothers is second in command.

Yeah, that that was my thing too. I mean, this is exactly what we were looking for. Right. If this just proof that Lee and EJ have been in cahoots all along. I don’t know what does, I mean, it, it, it, it definitely looks that way, but just because they pushed Gabby out doesn’t mean they had anything to do with Stephan, except, Gabby also told me that Stephan has been acting different ever since he came back from the dead.

You mean like he hates her now? Yeah. Yeah. Without any reasonable explanation. Does she have any theories on why that might be? Well, she suspects that Dr. Wolf guy brainwashed him or. But she also said Ralph doesn’t do anything without a purpose, so maybe my dad or your brother put him up to it. Step. Yeah.

Why don’t you just come on in, but what are you doing here? Wait. I know you came here to code. You came here to rub it in my face that you voted me out. I bet you’ve been wanting to do that, right? Isn’t it great? You voted me outta your life. You voted me outta your company too. Yeah. I don’t, You have better things to do.

I mean, you got your precious. Shares you. You pointed it up with your heartless brother to vote me out. Shouldn’t you be at the office with EJ celebrating? Finally, send. You’re here taunting me, Gabby. I didn’t come here to taut you.

I hope your sister appreciates you going to bat for her night in Shin. I doubt it. I know exactly on me. Best of terms, why not? Jwe actually showed up in Salem yesterday and asked for a promotion here at Tamara, to which my response was, No way or words to that effect. She’s a coder, right? Yes. Is she good at what she does the best?

Well then perhaps you should reconsider. After all, what’s best for DE is best for the both of us now while I go and put some ice on my nose to stop from swelling. Perhaps you should go and find your sister congratulate on a promotion.

Maybe the guy we really need to talk to is Dr. Roth. How do we track him down? Well, if my dad or your brother did put Ralph up to doing something to ste, there’s gotta be a trail, right? And maybe they’re still in contact with him. Worth looking into. I already tried Hacking Lee’s email account. He’s got it well protected.

Well, if it’s dme, how maybe. All it would take is any other high level to mirror password. I could work my way in through back door. I don’t have a high enough clearance level for that butt. Maybe I could get into my dad’s how It’s not like you can just ask him. No, no. And he is a pretty paranoid guy.

However, he had a severe injury a couple years ago and he’s still sensitive about lingering memory lapse. So he writes everything down. That way he doesn’t forget it, but things. Passwords. Yes. And if we can get into my dad’s computer, we might not even need your brothers. We’ll see. Either way it would be a big help.

I’m gonna head over there now. Okay. In the meantime, I’ll keep trying to crack my brother’s password. I’ll text you if I find anything.

Wendy, Chris? Hey.

Hey, well, if you didn’t come here to float, then why are you here? Actually, I, uh,

I came here to give you these.

Imagine your fiance wants to get married soon, and last time I checked, you need to be divorced first.

Divorce papers? Yes. Once you sign them, I’ll go ahead and file and we can be rid of this mess of a marriage once and for all.

You didn’t sign them? Not yet, no. Well, What are you waiting for, Stefan? Why don’t you go first?

Hey, Jack. Um, Sorry to bother you mate. I, your assistant taught me. Oh, it’s all right. I was just checking. Going out of the hospital. What’s up? Well, I want to follow up with you about a conversation from the pub. Oh. What conversation is that about? Maybe bringing me on at the Spectator. I could really use a job, mate.

Is it looking good?

What are you doing here? I thought you lived in Alaska and I thought you lived in Seattle. I, I do, but I, I just came back cause my stepmom had a health. Oh my God, I’m so sorry. Is she, is she all right? Yeah. No, no, she’s fine now. Thanks. But, uh, I just found out that my mom disappeared.

It’s Flo my lovely dad. It’s not dad.

I need your help

dad.

Oh, come on’s. Gotta be here somewhere.

What you doing here?

Why does it matter who signs them first? Thus it doesn’t. Okay, well then why didn’t you sign them before you got here? If you hate me so much, wouldn’t you want us to be over as quickly as. I do. All right then sign away. Fine.

Here you go.

What’s to matter, Stephan? Can’t you do it? What’s stopping?

Nothing. Stephan, just look at me. Okay? I know. I know that there is something in your brain that is telling you to despise me, but if there is a shred of you in there that doesn’t hate me, that doesn’t want you to sign these papers, just don’t do it. Okay? I know that you feel something. I know that you do.

Even if it’s the tiniest flicker, I know that something left inside you still loves.

What’s going on in here?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I know I told you that I didn’t want you and trip here. I’m so glad you like we’d be anywhere else. Know trick. Should be back from the lab real soon. Hopefully with some good news about that drug. The police got their hands on. John said he thought it might be a trick. Well, I’m banking on him being wrong about that.

Could you, My purse.

Stephanie, come here. Come closer.

Grandma Caroline’s bracelet. I want you to,

but it’s your, you almost never take it all. You wear it and

yeah. Austin, so your, your father-in-law is going to be your stepfather again. What do you think of that? Yeah. Thank you. I, I really wish that Roman and I have been able to send out invitations, but we’re kind of up against the clock, you know? No, sweetie. I don’t want you to come out. I mean, there’s nothing that you can do the, the treatment is an orchid that’s now extinct, so short of a miracle.

We just might have our miracle.

Did you hear me, Brady? I gave the police enough serum for the first dose. Yeah, I heard you. Oh, good. Now it’s time for you to hold up your end of the bargain. See, you’re gonna dump Chloe and you, Rachel, and I can be a family again. And if you even think about reneging on our deal, just remember the future treatments depend on my goodwill.

And you wouldn’t want those three women’s deaths on your head, would you?

What happens now? We monitor your vital signs closely and wait for the drug to take effect, and if it does, then. It does, but it does. You’ll give it to Caden and and Kayla. Yes. Yes. That’s the plan. What’s that? My heart, it feels like it’s racing. Okay. My light on fucking deep, slow breath. I can’t, I can’t breathe.

I can’t breathe. What’s going on? What’s sweetheart? Sweetheart? Easy.

Like Sands through the hour class, so are the days of our lives.

It’s a Trinity knot. My pop gave it to my mother on her wedding day and she gave it to me online.

Mom, this is your bracelet. I can’t take it. No. I want you

on, Stephanie, you know better than to argue with you, mom. Okay? But I’m giving it back to you as soon as you get better.

Hi news about this serum. I just talked to Dr. Patel. The lab analyzed the drug and found that it contains organic compounds from the orchid For testing our Marla as we speak to make sure she doesn’t have any adverse side effects. Sweetness, you’re gonna be cured. Well, when can she have it? She needs it now and she will get it.

Okay. But as soon as they confirm that it works and that it’s. She and Gur next,

don’t you think we’re getting a little out of ourselves before we start negotiating about the second and third dose? Maybe we should make sure that the first one works. You know, you really should have a, uh, more hopeful attitude. I mean, Marlena could really use the, uh, positive vibes right now. Goodbye.

Don’t you call back. Brady, what was the that all about?

Oh, on your doc. You’re okay. You’re okay. Stay with me. Focus on me. Right here. Right here. Look at me. That’s it. That, That’s it. Just me and you. That’s it. Breathe. Breathe. Breathing and honey. Oh, breathe.

Marlena? Yeah. How do you feel? Uh, I feel better. Okay. Your blood pressure is getting back down to normal and your vitals are rebounding. Wow. So you’re saying what he’s saying, it works. I can feel it. Like is it working?

Uh, but that was, that was Paul on the phone. He was asking me all these questions about Marlene’s treatment, and I’m frustrated because I, I don’t know what the hell to tell him. I don’t have any answers. Well, he sounded pretty mad. Are you sure That’s all it was?

Oh my God. How. Uh, I want to run some labs to make sure she’s not having any adverse reactions, but I’m cautiously optimistic that we have the anti oath and it will also work on Kayla and my mom. That is great news. That’s so you, you’re gonna let Val and Eric know? I’ll let ’em know. I’ll, I’ll tell him at the chapel.

Okay, good. I’m gonna have to laugh. All right, Rex. Thank you. Good luck with Kate. Oh my goodness. That is the best news. Oh yeah. Oh, you must be so relieved. Yeah, I am. I am relieved. Are you sure that you’re okay? I’m, yeah. Hey, listen, I, I just, um, and I’m just so thankful that you, you were here for me and for, for my family and, um, I’m really lucky to have you.

I, uh, I really love you. I love you too.

I’ll be back. Okay. Okay.

Hello Chloe.

And I know I’m, I’m not out of the woods yet. But I feel as though I can, I can see the sunlight through the trees. Oh, so can I talk? I can also see you’re getting a little color in your cheeks and you’ve got a lot of hope in your eyes. , I’m afraid you’re gonna have to put up with me for a while. Oh wow. I like the sound of it.

I think I can do better. How about two infinity? And it’s beyond

I love you.

Okay. I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna sound ungrateful at all, but who decided that Marlena would get the first dose? Well, she volunteered and she got sickest the fastest. So, So she has the least amount of time left. You should go to the hospital. You should see her and see your sister. Well, I will soon as my replacement get there.

The replacement? Yeah. I didn’t want you to be alone, so I called somebody and come be with you while I’m gone. Oh.

What’s up new? Wes? What happened in my invitation? I want to get lost in the mail. Sad. You hear that? Sweet. It’s good news. You just have to hang in there a little bit longer. Rex is doing some blood work on Marlena and assuming that comes back with positive news, Mom. Mom, are you all right mom? Kayla. Kayla, baby.

Hey. Hey

Kayla Keila. Can you hear me? Oh, that’s it, baby. Come back to us. It’s all on my finger with your eyes. We love you, mom. You’re gonna be okay. Trip. What’s going on? This is the normal course of the illness. We were hoping not to get to this stage. Right. Great news. I just heard from Rex Marla’s on the road to recover.

How’s do run Outta time? She needs that drug now

Roman and I would have loved to have had you at the wedding, but it was a well kind of last minute. Ah, I know that. I’m happy for you. I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. Wow. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you either. I’m talking work. There we go. Cde. I knew when they released him that he wouldn’t change. He never changed.

Okay. Stop it. There’s, there’s no way that you could have known what would happen. No one could have known. Oh, so random is so cruel. Not because he was afraid. We’d find out he’d put a bullet in ej.

It’s so unfair that Dr. Wolf could bring EJ back, but there’s nothing he could do for her. For

What are you doing here? Well, I came to see Marlena, of course. She is my daughter’s step grandmother. So how is she? Well, they seem to have found a treatment that is working, but since you were furious with Marlene, I’m pretty sure you don’t give a damn how she’s doing. So what are you really doing here?

Hm. Well, I’ll admit, sir, I do have an ulterior motive.

My mom’s getting worse. Please. She needs that drug. She needs it now. I don’t care if you’re having finished running your test. You need to give it to her now. Okay, Everybody make some space. Please. Please, guys.

How long will it take to work? All the effects on my Elena we’re almost immediate. Her heart raced for a few minutes, but everything started to improve shortly after. Kayla. Kayla, can you hear me? She waking up. She’s waking up sweetness. Um, what did you say? Hell no. No. What is that?

Why is this happening, Right? Is this a reaction to the judge? I need everyone outta the room please, baby. You’re gonna beat this. You hear me? Oh, here mom. Okay. I’ll tell you what everybody, it’s the best thing we can do for right now is clear the room, let them work. I’m not leaving my wife, she, I’m not leaving.

She needs me Here.

Stop compressions. We have a pulse. Ah, she’s back. BP and heart rate stabilizing.

Hey. Oh baby. Here you’re, you got to zero. You gotta get. Okay, you’re gonna get back. Why did that happen? Why did her heart stop beating? Okay. Was it to assume that caused the flat line? There’s no way to know for sure. All right. So it’s safe to give that drug to your mom or not?

I can’t believe that I either thought Clive was a decent. I sure know. I pick ’em, don’t I? Well, I say you’ve done pretty well for yourself this time. Yes, Yes, I have. Roman is the most loyal, most caring man I’ve I’ve ever known. I just hope that Weth.

Sorry for what? Sorry, Because I wanna be positive, I have to stay positive. You know? I beat stage four cancer and if I get to see him, I’m gonna beat this as well. Damn right. You are. You’re Kay. Freaking Roberts. You are certified. Bad ass.

Wow. You have an ulterior. I’m, I’m positively shocked. I’m here about Rachel. You made it your mission to come between me and my daughter, and you’re not gonna get away with it. I am not on some mission. I’m just trying to do what’s best for Brady and Rachel. Okay. What is that? Trying to erase me from their lives.

I don’t know what you want from me. I already told you that I offered to end my relationship with Brady for Rachel’s sake, and he refused. Okay. Instead of offering, maybe you can just do it yourself. It’s less humiliating that way, don’t you think? To be the one to end it. Christopher,

what are you doing here?

John, do you have an update on Kate or Kayla? Let’s do waiting. I think we should have heard something by now. Serial worked for you? I’m, I’m sure it’s worked for them. Are you keeping something from No, no, no, no, no. I’m, No, I just, I want you to focus on your own recovery. I’m sure we’ll have good news about them soon enough.

That’s right. Sweetness. You rest as much as you need to. I’ll be right here when you wake up. We all will be. Competitor soon. Okay. Mom, got a lot of people counting on you. I need a little guidance here guys. We almost lost Kayla just now. Okay. And you said Marlin’s heart was racing like crazy when she got the injection.

So how do we know this serum is safe to get Kate? It’s a matter of risk assessment. Okay. It’s possible the drug may Kayla worse, or a cardiac risk could have been a result of the illness itself.

Why isn’t she waking up? She’s about tok.

Hi, call yourself. It’s so nice to see those pretty blue eyes again.

Why are you here? Why am I here? Well, I’m here to support my sister. You should be with Kate. She spent wait 10 seconds already told me what to do. It’s okay. What do you mean? I know you blame yourself that RPS could hurt us.

It was your fault. I just want you three to be okay. How you feeling, Caleb?

Better, like maybe I won’t be going anywhere any time soon.

You think you can hold outta the four for me? We can go give this serum to my mom.

So I saw the press release. That’s your new job? Yeah. Pi. Keeping up on the business news, huh? Mm. Wow. Not like I have a lot else to do. You, um, you’re working for Stephanie Johnson? Yeah, I just started, um, enjoying the work. Professionally, it’s fine. Personally, personally, I may have crossed the line, but said.

Damn. I, I don’t know. It’s not important. We don’t need to talk about it right now. Oh, it’s so, Come on, come on. It is important. I wanna hear all about it. Actually. It’s a distraction of me. Okay. Then, um, the other night, something I, we. If I had too much to drink, you know, she was, um, upset about her mother and we were both in an emotional place.

I mean, in the end, nothing hap nothing happened. I like Stephanie, but

I just realized I’m not, I’m not ready to be with somebody. Because that,

because Abby is, she’s still with me. I call her go.

If Rachel’s. Then she should have called me. Okay. I can, I can go pick her up right now. Okay. You going to get her is going to make things worse. When are you going to admit that this is an untenable situation? Chris and I can fix it. Okay. Tell me, tell me how. Hmm. Rachel cannot stand Chloe, and more importantly, she can’t stand that Chloe is with her father.

So every day that you two are together, she is pulling further away from. I would never do anything to hurt her. And you know it. You being in this relationship is hurting her. How can you be so selfish? Oh, you’re calling him selfish. Oh, you know what, , Oh my god. You know, you too know what to do to fix this.

So I’m gonna leave you alone and you two can chat. Oh. And Brady, please give Marlena my. And, uh, I do hope she has a full and lasting recovery.

Oh, she knows exactly how to trigger me, and I’m so sorry that Rachel’s having a hard time. It is keep telling you, it’s not your fault, it’s her fault. It’s hers. But now, now I have no choice but to do something about it.

I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to let Abigail go. Yeah. Now I know you feel that way. , Chad, I would never push you to do something that you’re not comfortable with. You know? I would just say take it day by day by day. You know what feels right to you. Just don’t be too hard on yourself.

Okay.

Hey, what’s wrong?

Okay. Katie, Kate. Hey, Kate. Kate. Kate. Hey, and hey Kate. I need you to stay with me. Okay. Open your eyes. Okay. I’m calling Roman.

I don’t know Tracy Chase, can you hear me?

Much better. That is where it belongs and where it will stay. Well, it will be yours someday. I don’t know who’s more stubborn. You or your mom. All right, we’ll take that as a compliment. Oh, we all know who the most stubborn person is in this family. . Okay. Oh, I see . Well, hey, I’m gonna run down to the lap with these blood samples.

Okay? A trip. Wait a second.

You’re

Real. Someone is looking better. Kristen, for holding. What? Oh, well, um, I heard the wonderful news from Marlena’s Recovery and I had to come by. Why? Why ? Well, I wanted to tell you, Marlena, that I forgive you, forgive me what for, but I asked you to intervene on my behalf in the situation with Rachel’s custody.

And you refused. It wasn’t my place. Right. And I have to admit I didn’t take it very well. You know, the idea that he of all people would support keeping a mother away from their own child, and now the spiteful side of me might have, Hmm. Briefly hoped that you maybe suffered a little, possibly even died.

What the hell’s the matter with you? I’m not finished. John not finished. Now I was going to say, Oh wow. In those dark moments, I reminded myself that God is all forgiving. He miraculously intervened to save you. And I believe that he will intervene in my situation as well.

Hmm.

What did tri say to you? Well, she, uh, suggested that I offer to break up with you again, or that I just end it myself and not give you a choice.

Um, what are you doing?

I was just, uh, I was just thinking that you may be right, Chloe.

I mean, we, we can’t go on like that.

What you, you look, you, you know that if there was any other way, any, any other way at all that we could, uh, make this, you know, I love you, right? You, you, you, you know I love you and I love I, but I lo I love my little girl. She’s not, well. She’s, she’s, she’s m. And I, I, you, you, you always keep reminding me that I have to put my little girl first.

So

wait. I, Hi Beth. I’m sorry. Are, are you breaking up with me?

I’m so, I’m sorry.

Oh, pulse is strong. Blood pressure’s good and she’s coming back. Oh my God, I can, I can totally feel it. I feel actually feel better already. Well, she’s experienced, you know, rebound of her vital signs just like Marlena and Kayla did, but without the side effect system. Thank God. Yes, Yes. And thank you my genius.

Son, You saved my life. Oh honey, I love you. Thank you. Thank you. And you. Thank you. Thank for coming here. For being here. I love you. Oh my God. So fell the two of you get lost. What? You’re kicking us out already. Okay. Well, no offense, but it is my wedding night. Okay. Say no more.

You sure?

Well, Mr. Brady. This is Brady. Ah,

you know, a couple of hours ago I thought my wedding night was going to be my night. Now,

What does that look? Oh, I, I think you know what that look is really? Mm-hmm. , Are you sure you’re feeling up for that? Why don’t you drive

free? The last time our whole family was together like this was when your father was kidnapped and brainwashed and nearly killed. Good times. No. Now it took me almost on my deathbed, first of all, to get together. I promise that we won’t wait that long.

Okay. Now can I please have some time alone with my wife? I think we can make that happen. Hi, feel better, mom. I love you, baby. I love you.

I’m so happy. Okay. And. Doctor, Doctor

sweetness, my love. Not that I don’t always appreciate how lucky I am to have you. We’re thinking that I could’ve lost you.

Please don’t ever scare me like that again. I don’t, I, you better make the same promise. Promise. So from now on, we’re gonna both stay healthy and safe. And I’m gonna tell you every single day how much I love you and how much you mean to me. And I’m gonna do this with you.

Is it crazy for me to say that this is the happiest day of my life? ? No. Wait. I’m not crazy at all. , the same goes for me.

You know, I would’ve worn that bracelet if mom had given it. You boy, you think just cuz you’re the girl, you automatically inherit it. Well, I’m also the first born. Yeah. But it would’ve matched my tattoo perfectly. Wait, what? Tattoo? Where? Oh, you’ll never see it.

Oh,

Chad. Hi. I just heard about your mom. I’m really happy for you and your family. Thanks. How’s Kate? Much better, thank you. That’s great. If you wanna take the day and spend it with your family, I can handle things at the office. Nope. I’ll be there in the morning, bright and early. See then, looking forward to it.

Why don’t you stop talking and code and just spit out what you’re trying to say. Ah, John, I believe you understand me perfectly well. Now I’m gonna leave you two love birds to your cringy PDAs. You’re welcome.

They always on a about, I don’t care. I’m not going to let her cast Paul on our happiness.

Now. Now what is it? Oh, I dunno, Doc. Just after all these years of Orpheus coming after us, I just. Oh God. I hope it’s finally over.

Hello? Hey, you, you have to look at me. You have to blame me. I, I never wanted it to come to this and I, I believe one day it’s, it’s, it’s okay. Okay. I, I understand. I’m the one who told you that there was. No joy, so I, I should go. Oh, Chloe. Chloe, please just give my love to Marla.

You could do it.

You are not, you are not gonna get away with this, but I already have.

She’s a big girl, Brady. She’s gonna be just fine. Until she finds out that you’ve thrown her over for the likes of me, she will put a stake in there, so-called story

you.

Update written by Joseph

Steve, Joey, and Stephanie watch over Kayla in the hospital. Kayla tells Joey that she said she didn’t want he and Tripp there, but she’s really glad they are. Joey says they wouldn’t be anywhere else. Steve notes that Tripp should be back from the lab soon and hopes that he will have good news about the serum. Kayla asks Steve to get her purse so he does. Kayla tells Stephanie that she wants her to have Grandma Caroline’s bracelet to remember both of them.

Kate is in bed on the phone with her son Austin, telling him about her and Roman’s marriage. Kate wishes they could’ve sent out wedding invitations but they were up against the clock. Kate tells Austin not to come out because there’s nothing he can do without a miracle. Roman then enters and announces they just might have their miracle.

Kristen informs Brady over the phone that she gave the police enough of the serum for the first dose and reminds him that now he must hold up his end of the bargain and break up with Chloe, so that they and Rachel can be a family again. Kristen warns Brady that if even thinks about reneging on their deal, the future treatments depend on her good will and he wouldn’t want the three women’s deaths on his hands.

After Rex injects Marlena with the serum, she asks what happens now. Rex responds that they will monitor her vitals closely and wait for the drug to take effect and then if it does, they will give it to Kate and Kayla. Marlena’s monitors then start beeping and her heart starts racing. Rex encourages her to breathe while Marlena complains that she can’t and John tries to keep her calm.

Stephanie tells Kayla that she can’t take her bracelet but Kayla insists that she wants her to. Stephanie says she’s giving it back to her as soon as she gets better, so Steve then puts the bracelet on Stephanie. Tripp returns and announces that the lab analyzed the drug and it had traces similar to the orchid so they are testing it on Marlena as they speak to make sure it doesn’t have any adverse side effects. Steve tells Kayla that she will be cured. Stephanie worries that she needs it now. Tripp assures that as soon as they confirm it works and is safe, Kayla and Kate are next.

Brady tells Kristen that they are getting ahead of themselves and should make sure the first dose works before talking about the second and third. Kristen tells him that he should have a more hopeful attitude since Marlena could use the positive vibes. Brady says goodbye and tells Kristen not to call back as he hangs up. Chloe comes over and questions what that was all about.

John continues to encourage Marlena as she struggles but eventually she is able to breathe again and her monitors return to normal. Rex asks how she feels. Marlena responds that she feels better. Rex notes that her blood pressure is going back to normal and her vitals are rebounding. John asks what he’s saying. Marlena exclaims that she can feel that it’s working.

Brady claims to Chloe that it was Paul on the phone, asking questions about Marlena’s treatment and it frustrated him as he doesn’t know what to tell him and doesn’t have any answers. Chloe notes that he sounded pretty mad and asks if he’s sure that’s all it was. Rex then comes out from Marlena’s room so Brady asks how she is. Rex tells them that he wants to run more labs to make sure there’s no adverse effects but he’s cautiously optimistic that they have the antidote and it will also work on Kayla and Kate. Brady calls it great news. Brady says he will let Eric and Belle know as Rex then heads to the lab. Chloe hugs Brady and calls this the best news, adding that Brady must be so relieved. Brady confirms that he is. Chloe questions if he’s sure he’s okay. Brady says he’s just so thankful that she was there for him and his family and he’s really lucky to have her. Brady kisses Chloe as Kristen appears and watches from the corner. Brady tells Chloe that he really loves her. Chloe says she loves him too. Brady then says he’ll be back and walks away. Kristen then approaches Chloe.

Marlena tells John that she’s not out of the woods yet but feels like she can see the sunlight through the trees. John sees the hope in her eyes. Marlena jokes that he’ll have to put up with her for awhile. John kisses her and says he loves her.

Kate tells Roman that she doesn’t want to sound ungrateful but questions who decided Marlena would get the first dose. Roman explains that Marlena volunteered and she got sickest the fastest so she had the least time left. Kate tells Roman that he should go see Marlena and Kayla at the hospital. Roman responds that he will as soon as his replacement gets there which she questions. Roman explains that he didn’t want her to be alone, so he called someone to be with her while he’s gone. Chad then arrives and jokes about not being invited to the wedding.

Steve encourages Kayla to hang in just a little bit longer. Tripp notes that Rex is doing bloodwork on Marlena. Kayla then loses consciousness, causing the family to worry. Tripp checks on her and she regains consciousness. Steve and Stephanie encourage Kayla while Joey asks Tripp what’s going on. Tripp responds that this is the normal course of the illness and they were hoping not to get to this stage. Roman enters the room and announces that he just heard from Rex that Marlena is on the road to recovery. Roman then asks how Kayla is doing. Steve responds that they are running out of time and declares she needs the drug now.

Kate tells Chad that they would’ve loved to have him at the wedding but it was last minute. Chad tells her that he’s happy for her and he’s sorry he didn’t come sooner. Kate is sorry she wasn’t there for him with Abigail and Clyde. Kate says she knew when they released Clyde that he would never change. Chad tells her that there’s no way anyone could’ve known and all because he was afraid of it coming out that he had a bullet put in EJ. Chad calls it unfair that Dr. Rolf could bring back EJ but there’s nothing he could do for Abigail.

Chloe questions what Kristen is doing at the hospital. Kristen claims she came to see Marlena since she is her daughter’s step-grandmother. Kristen asks how she’s doing. Chloe mentions the treatment but notes that Kristen was furious with Marlena, so she’s pretty sure she doesn’t give a damn. Chloe then asks what Kristen is really doing here. Kristen admits she does have an ulterior motive.

Joey brings Rex in to Kayla’s hospital room and says she needs the drug. Steve pleads with Rex to give it to her now and says he doesn’t care about the tests. Rex agrees to do so and asks them to make space. Roman asks how long it will take to work. Rex responds that Marlena’s were almost immediate. Steve asks if Kayla can hear him. Rex injects the serum but Kayla calls out to her mom as she then flatlines. Rex and Tripp begin trying to revive her. Tripp asks for everyone to leave the room. Roman agrees but Steve refuses to leave Kayla. They are able to bring back Kayla’s pulse and her heart rate stabilizes. Kayla wakes up as Steve encourages that she got the serum and is going to get better. Stephanie questions why her heart stopped beating. Roman asks if the serum caused it. Tripp says there’s no way to know for sure. Roman then turns to Rex and asks if it’s safe to give Kate.

Kate comments to Chad that she can’t believe she ever thought Clyde was a decent man. Chad says she’s done well for herself this time. Kate agrees and calls Roman the most loyal and caring man she’s ever known. Kate says she has to stay positive and declares that she beat cancer so if she gets the serum, she will beat this as well. Chad agrees and calls her a certified badass.

Chloe mocks Kristen having an ulterior motive. Kristen responds that she’s here for Rachel. Kristen argues that Chloe’s made it her mission to come between her and her daughter. Chloe denies that and says she’s just trying to do what’s best for Brady and Rachel. Kristen accuses Chloe of trying to erase her from their lives. Chloe reminds Kristen that she already offered to end her relationship with Brady but he refused. Kristen suggests instead of offering, she could just do it herself and that would be less humiliating. Brady then comes back and questions what Kristen is doing here.

Marlena asks John if he has an update on Kate and Kayla. John responds that he’s still waiting. Marlena thinks they should’ve heard something by now. John says the serum worked for her so he’s sure it worked for them too. Marlena questions if he’s keeping something from her. John says no and he just wants her to focus on her own recovery while he’s sure they will have good news on them soon enough.

Steve tells Kayla to rest as much as she needs to and he’ll be right there when she wakes up. Stephanie says they all will be. Joey encourages Kayla to get better soon. Roman points out that they almost lost Kayla and that Marlena’s heart raced, so he questions how they know if the serum is safe to give Kate. Rex says it’s risk assessment. Rex and Tripp note that it’s possible it made her worse but also that it could’ve been the illness. Kayla wakes back up and asks why Roman is here instead of with Kate. Kayla knows Roman blames himself for Orpheus hurting them but says it’s not his fault. Roman just wants them to be okay. Tripp asks how Kayla is feeling. Kayla responds that she’s better, like maybe she won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Roman then nods to Rex, so Rex announces he’s going to give the serum to Kate and exits.

Kate tells Chad that she saw the press release about his new job in PR, working for Stephanie. Chad confirms that he just started and he’s enjoying the work. Chad notes that professionally it’s fine but personally, he may have crossed a line. Chad calls it not important and says they don’t need to talk about it right now but Kate insists and wants to hear all about it. Kate calls it a distraction for her so Chad gives in. Chad tells Kate that he and Stephanie had too much to drink the other night and she was upset about Kayla while they were both in an emotional place. Chad says in the end, nothing happened. Chad notes that he likes Stephanie but he just realized that he’s not ready to be with someone else because Abigail is still with him and he can’t let her go.

Brady tells Kristen that if Rachel is upset, she should’ve called him and he could go pick her up now. Kristen says that would just make things worse and asks when he will admit this is an untenable situation. Brady responds that he can fix it. Kristen asks how since Rachel cannot stand Chloe or that Chloe is with her father so every day they are together, she’s pulling further away. Brady insists that he would never do anything to hurt Rachel. Kristen argues that being in this relationship is hurting her and asks how Brady can be so selfish. Kristen declares that they know what to do to fix this, so she’s going to leave them alone to chat. Kristen asks Brady to give Marlena her best and remarks that she hopes she has a full and lasting recovery. Kristen then walks away. Chloe complains that Kristen knows exactly how to trigger her. Chloe tells Brady that she’s sorry Rachel is having a tough time. Brady responds that it’s not her fault, it’s Kristen’s, but now he has no choice but to do something about it.

Chad tells Kate that he doesn’t think he’ll ever be ready to let Abigail go. Kate knows he feels that way now and she would never push him to do something he’s not comfortable with. Kate encourages Chad to take it day by day and what feels right to him. Kate tells Chad not to be too hard on himself. Kate then starts to lose consciousness. Chad starts asking her what’s wrong and tries to wake her up. Chad encourages her to stay with him and says he will call Roman. Kate asks him to stay there and sit next to her. Chad tells Kate that he can’t lose her too as he urges her to stay with him. Roman and Rex arrive. Rex questions what’s going on. Chad says they were talking and she was fine. Rex then quickly injects Kate with the serum.

Stephanie puts Kayla’s bracelet back on her and says that’s where it belongs. Steve jokes about them both being stubborn. Joey points out Steve being the most stubborn in the family. Tripp says he will take the blood samples to the lab but Kayla asks him to wait.

John kisses Marlena until Kristen walks in. Kristen remarks that someone is looking better. John asks what the hell she wants. Kristen responds that she heard the wonderful news of Marlena’s recovery and she had to come by to tell Marlena that she forgives her since she asked her to intervene on her behalf with Rachel’s custody but she refused. Marlena argues that it wasn’t her place. Kristen admits she didn’t take it very well that Marlena would support keeping a mother away from her own child and that the spiteful part of her might have hoped she suffered a little or even died but in those dark moments, she reminded herself that God is all forgiving. Kristen declares that God miraculously intervened to save Marlena, so she believes he will intervene in her situation as well.

Brady asks Chloe what Kristen said to her. Chloe responds that Kristen suggested that she offer to break up with him again or just end it herself and not give him a choice. Brady then sits down with Chloe. Chloe questions what he’s doing. Brady says he was just thinking that she may be right as they can’t go on like this. Brady tells Chloe that if there was any other way to make this work. Brady assures that he loves her but he loves his daughter and she’s miserable. Brady says Chloe keeps reminding him to put his little girl first. Chloe questions if he’s breaking up with her. Brady tells her that he’s sorry.

Rex notes Kate’s pulse is strong and her blood pressure is good. Roman encourages that she’s coming back. Kate confirms she feels better already. Rex notes that she’s experiencing the same as Kayla and Marlena but without the side effects this time. Kate hugs Rex and thanks him for saving her life. Kate hugs Chad and thanks him for coming. Kate then jokingly tells Chad and Rex to get lost because it is her wedding night, so they leave. Kate tells Roman that a couple of hours ago, she thought her wedding night was going to be her funeral night. Kate then tells Roman that he knows this look. Roman asks if she’s sure she’s feeling up to it as they start kissing.

Kayla tells her family that the last time the whole family was together like this was when Steve was kidnapped, brainwashed, and nearly killed while now it took her almost dying for them to all get together again. Kayla has them promise not to wait so long to all be together again. Steve then asks for some time alone with his wife. Joey, Stephanie, and Tripp say goodbye to Kayla and then exit the room. Steve sits with Kayla and says he always appreciates how lucky he is to have her, but asks her to never scare him like that again which she promises to do. Steve declares that from now on, they will both stay healthy and safe and he will tell her every day how much he loves her. Kayla agrees to do the same as they kiss. Kayla calls this the happiest day of her life as they continue kissing.

Joey and Stephanie go to a waiting room at the hospital. Joey jokes that if Kayla gave him Caroline’s bracelet, he would’ve kept it because it would’ve matched his tattoo. Stephanie is surprised and asks what tattoo but Joey says she’ll never see it. Stephanie gets a call from Chad, so Joey exits the room. Chad tells Stephanie that he heard about her mom and he’s happy for her family. Stephanie thanks him and asks how Kate is. Chad confirms she’s better and thanks her. Chad offers to handle things at the office if Stephanie wants to take the day to spend with her family. Stephanie assures that she’ll be there in the morning, bright and early, so she will see him then as they hang up.

John tells Kristen to stop talking in code and just spit out what she’s trying to say. Kristen believes he understands her and says she will leave them to their PDAs. Kristen says “you’re welcome” and then exits the room. John asks Marlena what the hell that was about. Marlena doesn’t care as she won’t let Kristen affect their happiness. John hopes after all these years of Orpheus coming after them that it’s finally over.

Brady tells Chloe that she has to believe that he never wanted it to come to this. Chloe cries that it’s okay as she’s the one who told him to and decides she should go. Brady tries to stop her but Chloe says to give her love to Marlena and rushes out of the hospital in tears. Kristen comes over and tells Brady that she knew he could do it. Brady responds that she’s not going to get away with this. Kristen says she already has and assures Chloe will be just fine until she finds out that he’s overthrown Chloe for her which will put a stake in her love story.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Still can’t believe we didn’t find anything in that lap, you know? Well, Dr. Rfu used to cover his tracks to making a quick getaway, and he’s an expert that by now. But, uh, thank you. Thanks for trying to help us out. Oh, of course. Man. Look, I’m not giving up. I just hope we find something, anything that will lead to a cure to help Marlena, Aunt Kayla and my mom.

And I think I may have good news. Yeah. What are you doing here? I think you and I need to talk. Hmm. I don’t see why. . Well, I think that everything needs to be out in the open.

You know, this whole uh, situation with you and Brady and me, it can’t keep going on. Oh, I agree. Yeah. This situation is costing me my daughter. Listen, Kristen, I know that you are suffering, but so Brady and Rachel, and for their sakes, I think that you and I need to call truth.

Sammy, Sammy, I have to go. No, it’s not about mamo. Hey, please, just don’t worry. Okay. I’ll call you if there’s anything new. I promise. I love you.

Hi, I, I hope you didn’t hang up on my account. No, it was, uh, Sammy, just calling check in on Mom. I already told her everything I knew, which is, it’s not much. I talked to Chloe Bell, said that Marlene is really struggling now. Yeah, she’s, um, conscious a lot of the time. Oh, I’m so sorry. Thank you. When I hung up with Chloe, I, I just started walking.

I didn’t make a decision and I, I just ended up here

like Sam through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Have you heard any news about Kate and Caleb? Um, they’re not doing well either. Oh, that’s awful. How’s your dad holding up? Actually, I just married him and. Oh, about an hour ago what he married Kate. Oh, that, That’s the most lovely and heartbreaking thing I’ve heard in a while. That’s pretty much what it was like to be part of Lovely and heartbreaking.

Yeah. What did they come up with? The idea together? No. Debt surprised you with three and apparently he had to talk her saying yes. That would be case even now, now. Well, Rick and I, we walked in on that surprise and Rick’s became the witness. I performed the wedding, obviously, and um, and Kate, they just looked so happy.

Oh, grabbing happiness during all this misery. That’s beautiful. It is. You know, Roman and Kate have been through their ups and downs, been with other people. I, it’s, it’s like they’re each other’s destiny. Some couples are just like that.

Hmm. A truce and then, Shopping, lunches, spa days. No, but we can’t act like civilized adults. That’s better for Rachel, don’t you think? Oh, wow. Rachel is not gonna get over this. You know, She knows you’re the one who, whom made it so that she can’t see me. You know, she was over the moon when I called her and told her I got a party, and Brady and I, we were getting along.

We were parenting together, and you. You ruined everything. Hmm. Well, I’m, I’m sorry that you feel that way. You know, I came here to appeal to you as one mom to another. Listen, I know that you love Rachel and I was just hoping for her sake that you would work with us Oh. And work with you. How? Well, if you let Rachel know that it’s important that the three of us get along.

I could convince Brady to let the judge know that you should have some visitation rights with Rachel. That’s what’s best for her, the three of us working together on her before. Okay, Don’t do dare Tell me what is best for my daughter. What is best for me and Rachel is that you are out of our lives for good and you would do anything to make that happen, right?

I know that you’re the one that sneaked that note into Rachel’s lunch. Just what? Oh, come on. Like you don’t know the note saying that I’m the reason her family fell apart. What kind of a mother does that to her own child? Bad. Call down. Gimme bottle. Got a note this morning. Just like the police did and my note was delivered with that damn orchid.

Write there just like this was delivered to the police in my note, said the doc was gonna wid and die just like that damn orchid there. And my note was written by or is all he wants me to do is give this to Doc so he can kill her more quickly. Dad, the police got. Yeah. Uh, the note said that what was in the vial is the same serum that was extracted from the same orchid 25 years ago that was used on Roman Brady, and it, it said that it would save Marlena’s life, Kates and Kayla Johnson.

Okay. I know the only reason he said that is because he wants us to use it on him. It’s poison. Don’t think it, I, I don’t think it is. I think this is exactly what we have been praying. Why the hell would you say a thing like that? Dr. Wolf is the one who brewed up that orchestra for Roman back in the day, right?

Yeah. 25 years ago, Kristin. But due to climate change, the orchid is now extinct. Your P Dr. Roth claimed that the drug could not be duplicated as a result. Right? And we all know how honest Dr. Roth is. His lab was thoroughly searched. There’s nothing. Well, maybe it’s because I, uh, moved the Orkin before anyone showed up.

You moved that you were playing with me. Don’t do that.

You see Wolf, you saved seedlings from the, uh, Orkin that cured Roman, and then he secretly grew a new plant. And just so you know, the serum is being formulated as we speak, and I hear that Marlena and company are all feeding fast. Dad, if there’s a snowballs chance in hell that whatever is in there can work.

Aren’t we obligated to try it? Pat? We don’t have anything else. We’re running out of time here. I, I think your son might be right, Mr. Black. If you lost your wife and this turns out to be the cure and you’d never forgive yourself.

Oh my god, guys are so right. What am I thinking? I can’t get rid of whatever’s in. They don’t have the right to make that choice for doc. I just wish there were some way to make sure that this is what the note says. Its job RA just told me about the VI serum. I’m gonna take that to a lab and have it analyzed.

Well that that’s gonna take time. That I don’t know if we have Doc. All she does is slave Steve said Ka can’t even that. My mom is really weak too, but I just don’t want to inject three women with something that we do not understand. So I’m gonna tell the lab tech to put a fast track on that and I’m gonna wait for it.

Dad, it’s your call.

Go ahead. Right. Is belt still with Marlena? Yeah. And I’m heading back there, but you can come with me. You want to. If it’s alright, I’m gonna, I’m gonna wait for Rex all.

I think I should get back to the hospital. Can I just say something before you go, or rather make a suggestion? Oh, of course. Um, I have to be honest with you, it is killing me to watch you go through this and I know how close you are with Marlena and, and, and she’s been through some really rough times with you.

She’s been there for you. Yeah, she has. Yeah. Especially when I was drinking and, and when you had to leave the priesthood, sir. We found out our baby had time. She was there for you?

She was there for me. No, just let me, let me be there for you.

No, no, no. Not like before. And I married and you’re with Jada and. But we’re still friends, right? Yeah, of course we are. Right? You are always the person that shows up. Everyone else, let me be the person that shows up for you. So when you go to the hospital, let me go with you.

Happy. Great. Really? Nobody knows me like you.

I mean, I mean, I was, honestly, I was dreading, dreading, just dreading going back to the hospital, seeing my mom in that condition, and it’s just,

You were, you just, just appeared, always seemed to show when I you the most.

I ask you a question? Yeah, sure. Do you have any idea who wrote that note that we got? If I reconcile with you, everybody, everybody’s gonna know that you use the orchid to blackmail me into doing it. No. No, they won’t because you’re not gonna say anything about it, you see? No, Because if you do say something, This whole deal is off.

Why would you think I would know who wrote the note? Uh, well, you know all the players involved and you’re very I, that the Syrian be used. Yeah. Well, and look, Marla is like a mother to me. I was very afraid that my dad’s anger about Orpheus would blind him to the fact that this could help her. And Kate and Kayla.

So you don’t, you don’t have any doubts about the serum? No. I got, I got a ton of doubts about it. Yeah. But I mean, this is the only hope that we’ve had. So, um, I have to, uh, I gotta check on the lab and make sure they’re making progress. Excuse me.

I did not write that. Let alone put it in Rachel’s lunchbox. I knew what it said because Rachel called me from a friend’s house and she read it to me. Sure. And I’m sure you told her that every word was true. Well, it is true. Anyone could have written it. Oh God. Anyone who who heard about the judges insane ruling would be horrified to see a mother’s rights get trampled on.

Can you just stop it? You know, you can play victim all you want, but Brady and I both know that you’ve been out to get me since before we even became a couple. I saw you skulking around the courthouse that day, and I knew the fix was in because everything was going my way before that. You got that right?

Mm-hmm. didn’t that judge, she was bending over backwards to give Rachel’s mother the benefit of the doubt and then all of a sudden she turned against me and that was your doing. And no one is gonna gonna me otherwise. You’re damn right. It was my doing. And if I had to do it again, I would do exactly the same thing.

Please tell me you found something at Wall Slab. No. No, I didn’t damn it. But we do have some good news. What, What is it? So dropped off a vial of something at the police station and the note said that the vile contained serum that was made from the same species of orchid that helped Uncle Roman. Oh my God.

It’s wonderful. We’re not get ahead of ourselves here. We don’t know anything for sure yet. Rex fit down to the lab to get analyzed. Okay. Yeah, Sean.

Hey. Sorry. Sorry I haven’t been here. Now it’s because he’s been working around the clock to try to help you. Doc

promised me you’ll take care of be.

Come on down. I’m gonna talk like that cuz no one’s giving up here now. Right? I’m just so weary. I know honey. I know Honey, we just need you to hold on a little bit.

Oh, hey, uh, I, I was just headed home, um, and I ran into Eric. Hm, great. Anyway, I came here because, uh, I was looking for, you have news. Someone dropped off a vial at headquarters anonymously with a note saying that it’s a cure for your mother. It’s hate and Kayla for real. Yeah. Yeah. And uh, Jada took it over to the hospital and Rex is analyzing it as it speaks.

Can’t believe it. I should get over there. Thank you for letting me know. Appreciate. Oh, this is his unbelievable news. Maybe this is the cure that everyone’s hoping for. Yeah, that’d be great. Yeah. And then maybe I can stop finding you in Eric’s arms.

So what did you do to poison the judge’s mind against me? Oh, it wasn’t a case of poisoning her mind. The problem was that her hands were tied to begin with because she couldn’t use any of the crimes you’d been pardoned of as evidence. So I just happened to show her a little tape of you trying to attack me with that letter opener.

You hadn’t been pardon of that and she saw what you’re capable of. Mm. And Brady thinks you’re such a saint. Huh? . I wonder how he’ll feel when he finds out that, uh, you did this to me. Oh, I, I know how he feels because I told him everything. And you know what? He was thrilled. He loved me for it. You know, I was really stupid of you to come after me like that.

Brady was prepared to share custody for Rachel’s sake. But no, you had to have it all. It wasn’t enough for. You overplayed your hand, honey, and now Brady and your daughter, all to herself, and that is gonna blow up in his face because Rachel hates you for what you did. And she is furious with Brady for being with you, and it won’t be long until she turns against.

And how do you think he’s gonna feel about you then, Chloe?

I mean, so why don’t you just save us a lot of heartache and give a mis freedom? You know, I. I tried that earlier today actually. He wouldn’t hear of it.

I have a feeling he might just change his mind.

Hey, Lab Tech said I could find you here. So we compared what’s in the vial to what my dad got 25 years. and it’s a close match. All right, what are we waiting for? Hey. Just told me if you told me about the VI that was left at the police station and you brought it here, Uh, yeah. Your brother Rex is at the lab right now.

Haven’t analyzed it. Oh my God. Thank you so much for getting here so quickly. Well, I knew what was in that vile. I wasn’t about to stop for lunch. Well, you said you wanted to be hero who solves this? Well, you may be that. Yeah. Well, I don’t care about being a hero anymore. I just, I just want that stuff to work and, um, I don’t know.

I just wanna find out where that tip came from. But as Brady said, Not a priority right now. Well, hey, do you have a few minutes? Sure. I have a big favorite ask for you. Anything? Well, it’s just I don’t wanna leave my mom. All right. My dad has no idea about this, You know, the vial. So if they just had to use it, he may have to get Kay over here pretty quickly.

I’ll leave right now. Listen, and I, And please tell him I’ll call him if I know of anything done. Thank you so much.

What did you say? I think you heard me call. It seems like every time I turn around, you and Eric are holding each other. It’s getting kind of old every time you turn around. Gina and I, we caught you and Eric and a clench last. But we explained that Eric just told me about Marlena, Kate and Kayla were friends.

Okay, honey, I thought you understood that. Okay. Yeah. Like friends in show sympathy to one another or support one another by patting them on the back. Okay? Okay. But Eric just told me Marla and I was dying and you want me to just pat him on the back? I mean, he’s always there for everyone else right now.

He needs someone to help him through this, right? Right. There’s always an explanation, or maybe I should say an excuse. So now I need an excuse to be there for someone I care about. I need a reason to be Compass. For someone who’s suffering. Okay? This isn’t just someone, okay? This is your ex-husband, the person from Rome.

You are divorced and this someone is getting a little tired of seeing you giving him affection. Okay? I’m your husband now. I am your husband, Nicole. You are married to me. Or maybe you have forgotten about that.

Of course I haven’t forgotten that we’re married. Maybe you’ve forgotten that. Getting married was my idea. At home. We were already planning a wedding, one where our friends and our families could join us. You know, for reasons I still don’t understand at this day, you were suddenly in a hurry to get it done.

Well, I, Cause I thought maybe a big wedding would be too much pressure. I was there. You never said anything about pressure. You just, you wanted to get in the car and go to the courthouse and get it over with? No, no. I was thinking about you, Abigail had just been murdered and your knee deep in this investigation and, and I had no idea when you would have time for a wedding.

Okay. Is that what it was or was it because you had just spent the day with Eric? What? Hey, you, you went to Abe in Pauline’s. And, um, that was right after that. You were, you were in such a hurry to get it done. No, I, I saw their wedding and I just realized that I wanted something simpler. . Yeah. We don’t get much simpler than a clerk and a polo shirt.

Yeah.

Well, well, I’m sorry for the lack of. You know, and Eric, you were Aten Paul in his wedding and there was just romance in the air. And

I maybe you thought to yourself, Well, I let Eric go too easily. Like, and um, maybe I made a mistake with you. Fuck.

So you’re trying to convince me that Brady can’t live without you. I’m sorry, Chloe. No sale. I’m just telling you what happened earlier today. Hey, I’m the one who felt really bad about this whole Rachel situation, and I decided to take matters into my own hands. What a surprise. Fred has a lot on his mind right now.

Marlena could die. Rachel’s acting like she hates him, but he still wouldn’t hear us splitting up. You know why? Because he said it would be playing right into your hands and he couldn’t let you win. Let’s stop wasting time. Give me the orchid and I’ll give you what you want.

I love my little girl, but Chad custody isn’t what I. I want you to break it off with Chloe.

No way. No way. Now. Wow. You are wasting time again. You wanna save Marlena’s life yet? Dump Chloe and then he get back together with me.

Well, there could be another reason why Brady said what he did. Maybe he didn’t want you to be the one to end things. Maybe he wanted to do that himself.

Hi everyone. I just told Brady that I had this serum analyzed and the chemical makeup is very close to what cured my dad. I’m. 95% sure that this is the real deal. It’s not a hundred though, right? No. And ordinarily I would hold out for that, but these are not ordinary circumstances. My gut is telling me that I want give this serum to Marlena and Kayla and my mom as soon as possible.

All right, well, I’m, I’m worried about the risk that I’m in doc’s not, you know, her healthy self. What if it turns out that this serum is toxic? There’s only one thing to do. I think we came with the drug and see what.

You are truly diluted. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brady finally realizes that this relationship is too costly. It’s an impossible situation because you make it that way. Oh my God, I, I shouldn’t even have come here. I should have known as a waste of time. You’ll never care about anyone but yourself. And you don’t have a shred of decency.

Actually, I do. I know how serious Marlena’s situation is, So I need to ask you a question. Why are you here? I mean, Marlene’s on her death. And unless there’s a miracle she could die. So don’t you wanna be there for the man you love?

Oh honey, your bad day is just beginning.

Sweet. No one here is asking you to be a Guinea pig. I know that I’m volunteering.

I’m conscious, I’m, My mind is stable. I don’t know how long that’s gonna last. I think we give the medication if it. It improved my situation. Then we gave it to Kate and Kayla. I I think we should do this right away. John,

that’s not my decision.

Please do what Marlena wants.

Okay. Okay, let’s do this. Um, I’m sorry, but I’m gonna have to ask everybody to leave the room. Eric. Yeah. Is this, If this doesn’t go well, I’d like to receive last rights.

Oh, I’ll take care of your mom.

I’d like

absolutely.

You’re the one great love of my life.

So let me get this straight. According to you now, I realize that I even up on Eric too easily. So my reaction was to go to you and say, Let’s get married as fast as we. That doesn’t make any sense. Well, it does to me.

You, uh, you thought you hurried up and married me, that you would stop pining for Eric Pining pin. I love you. I didn’t wanna fall in love with you because you were with a. I tried to stop and I couldn’t. If I was fine for anyone it was you. I’m just saying that. Okay. Please just tell me the truth.

The truth is I don’t regret marry.

You are my husband. And I love you,

so why didn’t you ever come to me? Why? Why didn’t you come to me and ask me how I felt before you hired him?

You could say, Hey, brave. Um, hey, how would you feel if I hired my ex-husband? Would, would that be okay? I mean, I, this is the same guy that used to take photos of me and a bikini, but, um, that bother, that is not fair. You told me yourself. I want, Eric was a photographer and you were the model. That’s when you two fell in love.

It just, just kind of felt to me like you wanted to recreate that situation. He needed a job and I gave him one look, I am his boss, not his model. That is a totally different dynamic. Okay. Is it really all right? Look, you know what? If I did, if I did come. , I’ll say that I wanted to hire Eric. What would you have said?

I would’ve said It’s a terrible idea, Nicole. Why? Because there is no way in hell I want Eric working together with my wife.

So now you’re gonna tell me who I can and can’t hire. When did you become a caveman? This isn’t a normal hiring situation, Nicole. It’s Eric that we are talking about. Well, oh, you think it’s a good idea for two to be working so closely together so you don’t trust me

in this situation?

He, I don’t wait. No, no, no, no, no. You don’t get to walk away from me. You don’t get to drop this bomb and walk away. We are gonna talk about this.

What is there to say? Ra Rafe.

Better not be playing games with me. Kristen. Hey. Ready? Hi. I wanna see Marla is doing. Yeah, I am. There’s, there’s been a major development, there was a vial of serum that was left at the police station along with a note saying that it, it’s a cure from Marla, Kate, and Kayla. Do you think it’s real? I don’t.

Rex seems to think it’s promis. Marla is willing to take it. I think she’s being given it right now. Oh wow. That’s, that’s scary. But I guess it’s better than nothing. We’ll have to wait to see how she reacts to determine whether it’s real or not. Wow, that’s amazing. Do we know where the serum came from?

Um, it’s, Paul probably wants to know how Marlena is. Okay.

What the hell do you want? Oh, well I was just checking in. Mm. I wanted to let you know that um, the cure I promised you is being delivered to the police station. Rex is giving it to Marleno right now. Oh, well that was speed. Well, she should be feeling better very soon. Hope to God you’re right. And if I am Brady, you’re gonna have to hold up your end under the bargain, and you’re gonna have to get ready to give Chloe the bad news.

Marlena, I just wanna make sure that you still want to receive this. I. Yes, my mind is made up. Okay, here we go.

Update written by Joseph

Rex and Shawn go to the police station as Rex complains about not finding anything in Dr. Rolf’s lab. Shawn thanks him for trying to help. Rex refuses to give up and hopes they find anything that will lead to a cure for Kayla, Marlena, and Kate. Rafe arrives and announces he may have good news.

Chloe shows up at Kristen’s door and says they need to talk. Kristen doesn’t see why. Chloe thinks everything needs to be out in the open. Chloe says the whole situation with them and Brady can’t keep going on. Kristen agrees because this situation has cost her, her daughter. Chloe knows she’s suffering but says so are Brady and Rachel, so for them, she thinks they need to call a truce.

Eric is on the phone with Sami outside the Pub. He tells her not to worry about Marlena as he has to go and promises to call her if there’s anything new. Eric hangs up as Nicole approaches. Nicole mentions talking to Chloe, who said that Belle said Marlena is really struggling. Eric confirms she’s unconscious a lot. Nicole tells Eric that she’s so sorry. Nicole says she just started walking and ended up here. Eric is glad she did as they sit together on the bench. Nicole asks if he’s heard any news about Kate and Kayla. Eric responds that they aren’t doing well either. Nicole asks how Roman is holding up. Eric reveals that he just married Roman and Kate about an hour ago. Nicole calls that the most lovely and heartbreaking thing she’s heard in awhile. Eric says that’s what it was like to be a part of. Eric explains that Roman surprised Kate with a ring and had to convince her to say yes, then he and Rex walked in so Rex became the witness while he performed the wedding. Eric states that Roman and Kate just looked so happy which Nicole calls beautiful. Nicole talks about Roman and Kate being through their ups and downs and with other people, but it’s like they are each others’ destiny.

Kristen questions Chloe wanting to call a truce and mockingly asks if they are going to hang out after. Chloe says they can act like civilized adults and that would be better for Rachel. Kristen assures that Rachel won’t get over this since she knows Chloe is the reason she can’t see her. Kristen talks about when she got the pardon and how she and Brady were getting along as co-parents until Chloe ruined everything. Chloe is sorry that Kristen feels that way. Chloe says she came to appeal to her as one mom to another, so she hoped for Rachel’s sake that Kristen would work for them. Chloe says if Kristen lets Rachel know that it’s important for them all to get along then she could help Brady convince the judge to let Kristen have visitation rights. Chloe declares that the three of them working together is best for Rachel. Kristen cuts her off and warns her not to tell her what’s best for her daughter. Kristen says what would be best for her and Rachel would be for Chloe to be out of their lives for good. Chloe accuses Kristen of putting the note in Rachel’s lunchbox that said Chloe is the reason her family fell apart. Chloe questions what kind of mother does that to her own child.

Brady arrives at the hospital to stop John from smashing the serum vial that Jada just delivered. John explains that he got a note with an orchid just like the police got with the vial and that his note said Marlena was going to wilt and die like the orchid and it was from Orpheus. John worries that Orpheus just wants to get the vial to Marlena to kill her more quickly. Brady stops him and asks about the note that the police got. Jada explains that the note said the vial is with the same serum that saved Roman’s life 25 years ago and it can save Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. John doesn’t believe it is and thinks it’s poison that will kill them. Brady disagrees and thinks it is what they have been praying for. John questions why the hell Brady would say that. Brady thinks back to Kristen agreeing to give the serum. Brady tells John that they don’t have anything else and they are running out of time. Jada thinks he might be right. Jada argues that John would never forgive himself if he lost Marlena and this turns out to be the cure. John decides they are right and asks what he’s thinking. John says he doesn’t have the right to get rid of whatever is in the vial. John wishes there was some way to know what was in it. Shawn and Rex then arrive at the hospital. Rex says that Rafe just told him about the vial of serum so he wants to take it to the lab to have it analyzed. Brady worries that will take time that they might not have. Rex understands but doesn’t want to inject three women with something they don’t know. Rex says he’ll tell the lab to fast track it and he will wait for it. Brady decides it’s John’s call, so John instructs Rex to go ahead. Shawn asks if Belle is still in with Marlena. John confirms that she is and he was just heading back there. John asks if Brady wants to join them but Brady decides to wait for Rex.

Eric tells Nicole that he should get back to the hospital. Nicole stops him and says she has to be honest that it’s killing her to watch him go through this and she knows how close he is with Marlena and she’s been there for him through rough times. Eric agrees, especially when he was drinking, leaving the priesthood, and when he and Sarah found out their baby died. Nicole asks Eric to let her be there for him. Nicole clarifies that she doesn’t mean like before since she’s married and he’s with Jada, but they are still friends. Nicole says that Eric is always the person that shows up for everyone else, so she wants to be the person that’s there for him. Nicole asks Eric to let her go to the hospital with him. Eric agrees that would be great and admits that nobody knows him like her. Eric adds that he was dreading going back to the hospital and seeing his mom in that condition, but then Nicole just appeared as she always seems to show up when he needs her the most. Nicole and Eric then hug as Rafe comes around the corner, shocked to see them again.

Jada asks if Brady has any idea who wrote the note that they got. Brady thinks back to the deal he made with Kristen and how she forbid him to say anything to anyone about it. Brady asks Jada why she would think he would know who wrote the note. Jada points out that he knows everyone involved and he was very insistent that the serum being used. Brady explains that Marlena is like a mother to him, so he was afraid that John’s anger would blind him from the fact that the serum could help Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Jada questions Brady not having any doubts about the serum. Brady claims he has a ton of doubts but it’s the only hope they’ve had. Brady decides to go check on the lab to make sure they are making progress and hurries off, leaving Jada confused.

Kristen tells Chloe that she did not write the note or put it in Rachel’s lunchbox. Kristen says she knew what it said because Rachel called her and read it to her. Chloe is sure Kristen told her that it’s true. Kristen says it is true so anyone could have written it. Kristen argues that anyone would be horrified to see a mother’s rights get trampled on. Chloe argues that Kristen can play the victim all she wants but they both know that she’s been out to get her since before she and Brady became a couple. Kristen brings up seeing Chloe around the courthouse that day so she knew the fix was in because everything was going her way until that day. Kristen adds that the judge was bending over backwards to give her the benefit of the doubt but then suddenly turned on her. Kristen declares that was Chloe’s doing and nobody will convince her otherwise. Chloe admits that it was her doing and she would do it again.

Shawn and John join Belle in Marlena’s hospital room. Belle asks if Shawn found anything in Dr. Rolf’s lab. Shawn says he didn’t but they do have good news. John informs Belle that someone dropped off a vial at the police station. Shawn adds that the note said it contains the same serum that cured Roman 25 years ago. Belle gets excited, though John warns not to get ahead of themselves as they don’t know anything for sure. Shawn notes that Rex went to the lab to get it analyzed. Marlena wakes up and calls out to Shawn. Shawn apologizes for not being here until now. John points out that Shawn has been working around the clock to try and help her. Marlena thanks him and asks Shawn to promise to take care of Belle. Belle turns away, holding back tears. John tells Marlena not to talk like that because no one is giving up. John encourages Marlena to hold on just a little bit longer.

As Rafe approaches, Nicole tells him that she was headed home and just ran in to Eric. Rafe says he came looking for Eric because he has news. Rafe informs him that someone dropped off a vial with a note saying it’s a cure for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla, so Jada took it the hospital and Rex is analyzing it as they speak. Eric can’t believe it and says he should get over there. Eric thanks Rafe for letting him know and runs off. Nicole says this is great news as maybe this is the cure that everyone has been hoping for. Rafe responds that maybe then he could stop finding her in Eric’s arms.

Kristen questions what Chloe did to poison the judge’s mind against her. Chloe says it wasn’t poisoning her mind, but her hands were tied since she couldn’t use any of Kristen’s previous crimes against her due to the pardon, so she just happened to have the video of Kristen trying to attack her with a letter opener since she hadn’t been pardoned for that and then the judge saw what she’s capable of. Kristen asks how Brady will feel when he finds out that Chloe did this to her. Chloe responds that she told Brady everything and he was thrilled and loved her for it. Chloe calls it really stupid for Kristen to come after her like that since Brady was prepared for shared custody with her but she had to have it all and overplayed her hand. Chloe tells Kristen that now Brady has Rachel all to himself. Kristen declares that will blow up in his face because Rachel hates Chloe for what she did and she’s furious with Brady for being with her so it won’t be long before she hates him and then she asks how Brady will feel about Chloe then. Kristen suggests Chloe save them a lot of heartache and give Brady his freedom. Chloe responds that she tried that earlier today actually, but Brady wouldn’t hear it. Kristen feels Brady might just change his mind.

Brady joins Rex in the waiting room. Rex informs him that they compared the vial to what Roman got 25 years ago and it is a close match. Brady asks what they are waiting for then.

Eric goes to the hospital and tells Jada that he just heard from Rafe about the vial and that she brought it here. Jada confirms that Rex is at the lab now having it analyzed. Eric thanks Jada for getting it there so quickly. Jada just wants it to work and find out where the anonymous tip came from but notes that it’s not a priority. Eric asks if Jada has a few minute since he has a big favor to ask. Jada says anything for him. Eric says he doesn’t want to leave Marlena, but Roman has no idea about the vial, so if they decide to use it, they may have to get Kate here pretty quickly. Jada agrees to leave now. Eric asks her to tell Roman that he will call as soon as he knows anything. Eric hugs Jada and thanks her so much as Jada then exits the hospital.

Nicole questions what Rafe just said. Rafe responds that it seems like every time he turns around, she and Eric are holding each other and it’s getting kind of old. Rafe brings up he and Jada catching them in a clinch last night. Nicole argues that they explained that Eric had just told her about Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Nicole thought Rafe understood that she and Eric are friends. Rafe argues that friends can show sympathy with a pat on the back. Nicole complains that Eric just told her that Marlena was dying and that Eric is always there for everyone else, so right now he needs someone to help him through this. Rafe complains that there’s always an explanation or an excuse. Nicole questions needing an excuse to be there for someone she cares about or a reason to be compassionate towards someone who is suffering. Rafe argues that it’s not just someone, but her ex-husband. Rafe adds that he’s getting a little tired of seeing her give Eric affection. Rafe reminds Nicole that he is her husband and asks if she’s forgotten about that. Nicole assures that she hasn’t and reminds him that getting married was her idea. Rafe points out that they were already planning a wedding where their friends and family could join them, but for reasons he still doesn’t understand, she was suddenly in a hurry to get it done. Nicole talks about thinking putting it off would be too much pressure. Rafe argues that Nicole never said anything about pressure and she just wanted to get it over with. Nicole says she was thinking about him as he was knee deep in the investigation of Abigail’s murder, so she had no idea when he’d have time for a wedding. Rafe asks if that’s what it was or if it was because she had just spent the day with Eric at Abe and Paulina’s wedding since it was right after that, she was in such a hurry to get it done. Nicole says seeing their wedding made her realize she wanted something simpler which Rafe mocks. Nicole apologizes. Rafe brings up Nicole and Eric being at Abe and Paulina’s wedding with romance in the air. Rafe wonders if Nicole thought she let Eric go too easily and that maybe they made a mistake.

Kristen questions Chloe trying to convince her that Brady can’t live without her. Chloe says she’s just telling her what happened earlier today. Chloe adds that she felt bad about the Rachel situation so she decided to take matters in to her own hands since Brady has a lot on his mind with Marlena possibly dying and Rachel acting like she hates him, but Brady still wouldn’t hear about them breaking up because he said he couldn’t let Kristen win. Kristen thinks back to making the deal with Brad for the serum. Kristen then tells Chloe that maybe Brady just didn’t want her to be the one to end things and maybe he wanted to do it himself.

Rex, Eric, and Brady enter Marlena’s hospital room. Rex announces that the serum’s chemical makeup is very similar to what cured Roman so he’s 95% sure it’s real, so his gut is saying to give them the serum. John continues to worry about what if the serum is toxic. Marlena says to just give her the drug and see what happens.

Chloe calls Kristen truly deluded. Kristen wouldn’t be surprised if Brady finally realizes that their relationship is too costly and an impossible situation. Chloe argues that Kristen makes it that way and says she shouldn’t have even come her. Chloe adds that Kristen doesn’t care about anyone but herself and has no decency. Kristen responds that she knows how serious Marlena’s situation is. Kristen questions why Chloe is here when Marlena is on her deathbed and she could die without a miracle. Kristen asks if Chloe doesn’t want to be there for the man she loves. Chloe then storms out. Kristen laughs, remarking that Chloe’s bad day is just beginning.

John tells Marlena that no one is asking her to be a guinea pig. Marlena responds that she knows and she’s volunteering. Marlena states that she’s conscious and her mind is stable but she doesn’t know how long that will last. Marlena suggests giving her the serum and if it improves her situation, they give it to Kate and Kayla. Marlena thinks they should do this right away. Rex turns to John, who says it’s not his decision. John asks Rex to please do what Marlena wants. Rex apologizes and says he’ll have to ask everyone to leave the room. Marlena stops Eric and says if this doesn’t go well, she’d like to receive last rites. Eric agrees to take care of her. Eric, Brady, Belle, and Shawn then exit while Marlena asks John to stay which Rex allows. John calls Marlena the one great love of his life.

Nicole questions Rafe thinking that she realized she gave up on Eric too easily, so her reaction was to marry Rafe as fast as they can. Nicole argues that it doesn’t make any sense. Rafe says it does to him, because she thought if she hurried up and married him, then she would stop pining for Eric. Nicole insists that she loves Rafe. Nicole says she didn’t want to fall in love with him because he was with Ava, so she tried to stop but she couldn’t. Nicole argues that if she was pining for anyone, it was Rafe. Rafe asks Nicole to just tell him the truth. Nicole responds that the truth is that she does not regret marrying him. Nicole calls him her husband and says she loves him. Rafe questions why she doesn’t ever come to him then or ask how he felt before she hired Eric to see if it would bother him. Nicole calls that unfair. Rafe brings up how Nicole and Eric fell in love when he was a photographer and she was the model. Rafe kind of felt like she wanted to recreate that situation. Nicole argues that Eric needed a job, so she gave him one and she’s his boss, not his model so it’s a totally different dynamic. Rafe questions if it really is. Nicole asks what Rafe would have said if she did come to him about hiring Eric. Rafe responds that he would’ve told her it’s a terrible idea because there’s no way in Hell that he wants Eric working with his wife right as Jada starts to walk up. Jada backs up and hides around the corner as Nicole questions Rafe trying to tell her who she can and can’t hire, asking when he became a caveman. Rafe argues that this isn’t a normal hiring situation, it’s Eric. Rafe questions Nicole thinking it’s a good idea for them to be working so closely together. Nicole asks if he doesn’t trust her then. Rafe admits that in this situation, he doesn’t. Rafe starts to walk away but Nicole argues that he doesn’t get to drop this bomb and walk away. Nicole declares that they are going to talk about this. Rafe questions what there is to say and then walks away. Jada watches on as Nicole calls out to Rafe.

Brady stands in the hospital and says to himself that Kristen better not be playing games with him. Chloe arrives and hugs Brady, saying she came to see how Marlena is doing. Brady tells her that there’s been a major development as a vial of serum was left at the police station with a note, saying it’s a cure for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Chloe asks if he thinks it’s real. Brady responds that Rex thinks it’s promising and he thinks Marlena is taking it now. Brady says they will have to wait and see how she reacts to determine if it’s real or not. Chloe asks if they know where the serum came from. Brady then gets a phone call and claims it’s from Paul to check on Marlena. Brady steps away to answer and it’s Kristen. Brady asks what the hell she wants. Kristen says she was just checking in and wanted to let him know that the cure is being delivered to the police station. Brady confirms that Rex is giving it to Marlena right now. Kristen responds that Marlena should be feeling better real soon. Brady hopes she’s right. Kristen reminds Brady that he will have to hold up his end of the bargain and get ready to give Chloe the bad news.

Rex asks Marlena if she’s sure she still wants to receive this injection. Marlena responds that her mind is made up so Rex loads up the needle with the serum.

Update written by Joseph

At the hospital, John slams down the orchid that Orpheus sent in frustration as Stephanie arrives, thinking it’s the Orchid they have been looking for, and asks if John is out of his mind.

Steve sits with Kayla in the hospital and worries about her having a fever. Steve tells her that he’s here and not going anywhere. Tripp and Joey arrive to tell Kayla they are here too. Steve assures them that she’s not contagious. Joey hugs Kayla and tells her that he missed her.

Brady questions if Kristen is trying to say that she can cure Marlena when her doctors can’t. Kristen says she can cure Kayla and Kate too. Brady argues that the only treatment that can cure them is an Orchid that no longer exists. Kristen remarks that maybe the Orchid is closer than anyone knows. Brady asks if she’s trying to tell him that she has it. Kristen asks what if she is.

Stephanie panics over the Orchid, asking how the hell John could do this until John clarifies that it’s not that Orchid and was just one that could be found in any flower shop as it was sent from Orpheus. Stephanie calls Orpheus a son of a bitch for twisting the knife. John says that Orpheus is enjoying this and wrote that Marlena is going to die just like the flower. John is sorry she had to see that while Stephanie apologizes for yelling at him. John assures that he is just as scared as she is. Stephanie worries about what Kayla is going to do. John hugs her as she cries.

Steve tells Tripp and Joey that it’s so good to see them. Kayla asks why they are here and why they didn’t call. Joey says they couldn’t stay in Seattle. Tripp adds that they didn’t want them to try to talk them out of coming. Joey mentions Stephanie being vague. Tripp asks to be told what’s going on. Steve decides it’s time they knew. Kayla reveals that her, Marlena, and Kate have been poisoned. Steve says he’ll explain how it happened later. Tripp asks about an antidote but Kayla says there isn’t one which Steve confirms. Tripp wants to see her lab work and talk to her doctor. Steve praises Dr. Patel’s work. Joey asks if Kayla is in pain. Kayla says no and that she’s just sleepy and weak. Kayla adds that she’s not getting better. Tripp wishes they knew it was this serious. Kayla feels it was better this way as she didn’t want them to know, but she’s very glad they are here. Joey declares that they are not leaving until she gets better and he knows she will.

Brady accuses Kristen of lying. Kristen brings up Dr. Rolf brewing up the Orchid for Roman 25 years ago. Brady brings up that Dr. Rolf said it’s extinct and it can’t be duplicated. Brady adds that the police searched his lab and found nothing. Kristen suggests she moved the Orchid before they showed up. Brady warns her not to play with him. Kristen informs him that Dr. Rolf saved seedlings from the Orchid and secretly grew a new plant. Brady doubts her but asks where the orchid is if she has it.

Eric is at the Brady Pub, finishing a call with Billie as Jada enters. Jada tells Eric that she just got back from searching Dr. Rolf’s lab with Shawn and forensics but they found nothing. Jada says she’s sorry and asks how Marlena is. Eric admits she’s not good. Jada wonders if Dr. Rolf is telling the truth. Eric shouts that he doesn’t care what Dr. Rolf says because Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are running out of time. Jada assures that they are not giving up and that Shawn’s at the lab right now and called Rex to help him. Eric realizes that’s why Rex tore out of Roman and Kate’s wedding. Eric explains to Jada how he and Rex decided to check on Kate, then she and Roman decided to get married. Eric says it was hard to get through but they were so happy to get married. Eric notes that they have quite the history of being on and off, married and divorced, with two kids together. Jada encourages that Eric was able to marry them and they’ll always have that happiness no matter what now.

Kristen tells Brady not to worry as she has the Orchid stashed somewhere safe. Brady says he can see she’s loving this since she couldn’t break up he and Chloe or get custody of Rachel, so this is her new game. Brady doesn’t believe the Orchid exists so Kristen says she’ll prove she’s not bluffing. Kristen then shows her a photo on her phone of herself with the Orchid. Brady refuses to take her word for it. Kristen says it may be the miracle that Marlena needs. Kristen adds that the serum is being formulated as they speak while Marlena, Kayla, and Kate are fading fast. Kristen says she is doing everything in her power to help them while Brady is wasting time that they don’t have. Brady questions what she wants in return for providing the formula.

Joey asks Kayla what they can do or bring her. Kayla says having them here is all she needs. Steve decides to give her time alone with Tripp and Joey while he goes to check on Marlena. Steve notes that he won’t be gone long as he then exits. Joey questions Orpheus doing this to Kayla to get back at Steve. Joey then apologizes if she doesn’t want to talk about it. Kayla says it’s okay and adds that Orpheus also did it to get back at John and Roman. Tripp encourages that Kayla is the strongest woman he knows so if anyone can get through this, it’s her. Tripp talks about all the time he wasted being angry at Kayla and blaming her for what happened to Ava. Kayla says that’s all in the past. Kayla says she’s so proud of the men that they have become. Tripp mentions that he wouldn’t have tried to become a doctor if not for her. Joey says that Kayla and Steve saw him through the toughest time of his life, so he wishes he could do more for her now.

Stephanie tells John that she’s still kicking herself for jumping all over him and Steve for trying to protect her from Orpheus. John admits he was hopeful too that Orpheus had mellowed but Steve knew better. Steve then approaches so Stephanie gets up and hugs him. Stephanie asks how Kayla is. Steve says Joey and Tripp are in with her now. Stephanie is glad they could make it even though Kayla didn’t want them to see her like this. Steve notes that she changed her mind about that. Steve tells John that he just saw Marlena and talked to Belle. John worries that Marlena is getting weaker and weaker. Stephanie feels Tripp and Joey are probably mad at her for trying to keep them from coming so she goes to join them in Kayla’s room. Steve sits with John. John says that Steve was so right about Orpheus. John brings up Steve saying they needed to end Orpheus, but he talked him out of it. John swears that if their girls don’t make it, he will hunt Orpheus down himself and end him.

Kristen asks Brady what makes him think that she wants something which Brady laughs at. Brady guesses that if she gives him the Orchid, she gets shared custody of Rachel. Kristen asks what if that was the deal. Brady doesn’t want Marlena, Kate, and Kayla to die. Kristen remarks that it’s different from what he said in court. Brady tells her to stop wasting time and give him the Orchid, then he will give her what she wants. Kristen responds that she loves her little girl but shared custody isn’t what she wants. Kristen says she wants Brady to break it off with Chloe. Brady says no way in hell. Kristen declares that if Brady wants to save Marlena’s life, he must dump Chloe and get back together with her. Brady tells Kristen that he’ll get back with her when Hell freezes over and calls this insane, saying it won’t work. Brady argues that everyone would know she used the Orchid to blackmail him in to it. Kristen says if he says anything about it, the whole deal is off. Brady argues that nobody in town would believe it. Kristen argues that everyone will see he made the decision that’s best for Rachel and that Rachel hates Chloe which Brady blames Kristen for. Kristen argues that Rachel is miserable without her and says this would be the opportunity for her to grow up with both of her parents. Kristen adds that even Chloe will understand that. Brady calls her a monster. Kristen argues that she’s a mother who loves her child. Kristen states that there is no hope for Brady and Chloe, so he should end it with her now. Kristen remarks that Chloe is used to rejection and can handle it.

Chloe sits in the town square with Nicole, saying it’s taking everything in her to put distance between her and Brady but she knows she has to because Rachel can’t stand the sight of her right now. Nicole asks if Rachel needs to know they are together. Chloe doesn’t want to sneak around or do that to Brady when he’s in enough pain. Chloe complains that she doesn’t know what to do as she doesn’t know how to make this situation any less horrible. Nicole assures that she gets it more than she knows because she’d do anything to be there for Eric right now.

Eric tells Jada more about Roman and Kate’s wedding. Eric says he could see how scared Roman was that he could lose Kate, Kayla, and Marlena. Eric talks about Orpheus’ rage completely being at Roman. Jada mentions reading that in the case file and wishes she could do more to help. Eric encourages that she is helping. Jada talks about going over Dr. Rolf’s lab and wanting to be the hero who found something to give hope to Kayla, Marlena, and Kate. Jada adds that she wanted to be able to come to Eric and tell him that she did it for him.

Stephanie joins Tripp and Joey in Kayla’s hospital room. Stephanie asks if they can go talk out in the hall but they say they just got there so they aren’t leaving her. Stephanie apologizes for making it seem like it wasn’t as bad as it is. Joey questions why she did that while Tripp argues that they could’ve been here all this time. Kayla then informs them that it was her idea to keep them away.

John shows Steve the orchid he smashed on the floor and asks if Steve got one but he didn’t. John informs him that Orpheus sent it to Marlena to screw with their minds. Steve gets furious and declares he’s going to find Orpheus but John reminds him that they can’t leave the hospital with their girls like this. John convince Steve to sit back down. Steve brings up that Orpheus said he wants them to watch them die. John declares that they won’t let that happen. Steve talks about wanting to find a way to save them but this is science. John refuses to give up, so Steve asks what they can do. John tells Steve that they’ve faced impossible odds before and all the times they rescued each other. John admits he’s never felt as helpful as he does right now. Steve says it forces them to think of the possibility of life without their wives. Steve feels like a fool for all the years he spent away from Kayla. John knows what he means. Steve cries that he can’t do it again but they are running out of time and the odds are stacked against them. Steve notes that at least his whole family is together now since nothing makes Kayla happier than that. John declares that they are going to live for today and treasure every second they can. Steve agrees and heads back to Kayla’s room.

Kayla tells Tripp and Joey that she didn’t want them to come as she wanted to be able to call them and tell them that she was better. Joey points out that they aren’t kids. Kayla says Stephanie wanted them there and she was right. Kayla admits she’s so happy they are there. Steve comes back in and says he is too. Kayla points out that the five of them are all together. Joey doesn’t want to see her upset or crying. Kayla wishes she was at home, cooking for them. Steve encourages that she will do that when she gets better. Tripp suggests they have a family dinner right here. Joey agrees and offers to go get food with Tripp.

Nicole tells Chloe that Eric is the one who told her about Marlena, Kate, and Kayla and he was so broken up that she wasn’t even thinking when she hugged him and then Rafe and Jada walked in. Chloe asks how they reacted. Nicole says they were okay once they found out what was going on. Nicole adds that Rafe was great but Jada kind of staked her claim without saying a word that she is Eric’s girlfriend and it is her job to comfort him. Chloe asks if Nicole got that message. Nicole assures that she did. Nicole agrees that she’s married to Rafe and should back off from Eric, so she did. Nicole adds that Marlena is sick and when Eric is hurting, she feels like she wants to be there for him and admits she still feels that old pull.

Jada asks Eric if it sounds bad to want to be the hero during a time like this. Eric assures that he knows she’s not in it for the glory and is trying to help three women who need a miracle. Jada notes that she hasn’t heard from Shawn since leaving the lab so she decides to get back to the police station. Jada tells Eric that she’ll let him know if there’s any new developments. Eric says he’ll be here at the Pub in case Roman needs him. Eric tells Jada that she has been a person he can count on and kisses her as she then exits.

Brady goes over Kristen’s plan to have him break up with Chloe and then she will provide the serum to Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Kristen reminds him that after breaking up with Chloe, he must reconcile with her and then they become a loving family with Rachel. Kristen adds that Brady can’t turn around and dump her after they are cured because Dr. Rolf said they will need a second dose a few months later and maybe a booster after that, while she is the only one who can see to it that they get it. Kristen declares that they are in it for the long haul. Brady warns her that the serum better work. Kristen points out that it did before but warns Brady not to take too much time thinking about it because the ladies don’t have any time left. Brady says if he walks away, three women die, so he’s in.

Stephanie tells Steve that she’s really glad Tripp and Joey are there since the three of them need each other. Steve talks about how happy Kayla’s been since Stephanie came home. Stephanie wants more time with her. Steve encourages her not to give up hope and says they just have to make every second with her as filled with joy as they can. Joey and Tripp then return with pizza.

Chloe questions Nicole saying she still has a pull towards Eric. Nicole comments on her looking disapproving. Nicole argues that Eric’s mother may be dying, so it makes sense that she wants to be with him. Chloe reminds her that she’s with him all the time since she hired him at Basic Black. Nicole argues that he’s a great photographer and asks Chloe to give her a break. Chloe says she’s only hard on her because she’s her friend, she loves her, and wants her to be happy. Nicole guesses Chloe is telling her not to do anything stupid again. Chloe tells her that she understands. Nicole admits it’s nice to talk about this with someone she trusts and calls Chloe a good friend. Chloe jokes that Nicole has heard enough of her troubles and feels she’s going to need her as they hug. They then walk off together.

Brady tells Kristen that he’s not sure she will hold up her end of the bargain, so he’s not going to say a damn word to Chloe until the first dose is administered and he has proof that it’s working. Kristen agrees but says as soon as they start recovering, he needs to go straight to Chloe to deliver the news. Brady remarks that unlike her, he keeps his promises, so he will break up with Chloe and then he, Kristen, and Rachel will all live as a family under one roof. Brady reminds Kristen that she may have succeeded in using their little girl and three innocent women to get what she wants, but there is no way on earth that she will make him love her. Brady declares that she will be a lot more lonely in a loveless relationship than she was on her own. Kristen says time will tell. Brady asks for details, so Kristen says the serum should be delivered to the hospital soon and it won’t be long before the miracle cure is John’s hands. Brady hates Kristen for doing this. Kristen remarks that there’s a thin line between love and hate. Brady warns her to be careful what she wishes for as he then exits.

Kayla cries that she’s never been happier than this moment and encourages her family to eat the pizza.

Eric leaves the Pub while on the phone with Sami. Eric knows she’s scared and that she wants to be there. Eric understands she needs to be there for Sydney. Eric remarks that in times like this, you got to get the strength from the people you love as he turns around and sees Nicole heading towards the Pub.

Kristen tells herself that she’s not a horrible person and is doing a good thing by saving lives and all sorts of people will be grateful to her. Kristen asks why she should be the one to end up alone. Kristen declares that she will have her family together again and no matter what Brady thinks now, he’ll learn to love her again. Kristen says she can’t just sit back and let Chloe steal everything she loves, so now she’ll be out of the picture for good. Chloe then shows up at Kristen’s door. Kristen laughs and calls it a coincidence as she was just thinking about her..

Jada goes to the hospital and introduces herself to John as she reveals that a vial full of serum from the Orchid was just delivered to the police station. Jada shows John the note that it came with. John reads that it says it can save the lives of Marlena, Kayla, and Kate. John worries that it’s another one of Orpheus’ tricks and goes to smash the vial when Brady arrives to stop him.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Now you got a fever.

You’re here. Of course I’m here. I’m here all along. Sweet. And I’m not going anywhere. We’re here too. Hey, what are you doing? Do we need gowns and a mask? Oh, no. Hold on. Hold on.

It’s not contagious. I mean, for her sake. It.

Are you trying to say that you can cure Marlena when her doctors can’t and Kaylin can’t do? Kristen, I know that you love to play God, but there’s only one treatment that can help these women. That’s an orchid that’s extinct. Mm-hmm. . And if it did exist, my dad and Steven Roman would scour the ends of the earth to find it.

Well, maybe they don’t have to search so far, maybe. The OR is closer than anyone knows. Are you trying to tell me this?

Like, sand through the hour, So are the days of our lives.

It’s crushed. Stephanie. No, no. Stephanie. Stand up. Stand up. How the hell could you do this? What is wrong with you? My mom in for me. No, no, no, no, no. It’s. That orchid, what that is just a run of the mill garden variety orchid. You could find a mini damn flower shop. And yeah, my lady lit up when she saw it and even gave me hope until I read the damn card and it was sent from Orias, son of a bitch.

He’s twisting the knife. He’s twisting the knife. He said that he’s enjoying knowing how helpless we are and the doc is gonna wilt and die just like this damn Orkin. And I just lost it. I’m so sorry that you had to see that Honey, I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry that I yelled at you. No, no, I understand that sweetheart, cuz I’m just as scared as you are.

My poor mom. What is she going do?

So good to see you guys. Why are you here? Like we were gonna stay in Seattle and do nothing. We should have been here way before now. But you didn’t call your dad or me. We didn’t tell you guys we were coming because we were afraid to. You try to talk us out of it. We’ve been texting with Steph and she’s, she’s been saying all this vague stuff that Taylor.

Tell us what’s going on.

It’s time they knew. Knew what?

Oh, Marlena and Kate and I poisoned and oh my God. Poison was what? We don’t know, and I’ll, I’ll explain how it happened. Okay. What about Indo There someone? Is that true? Yeah. Yes. Okay. I wanna see her lab work. I wanna talk to her doctor right now. Okay. Listen, I’ll tell Dr. Patel, I’m sure he’ll be happy to fill you in on everything he knows.

He’s been great. He’s been talking to doctors all over the world. Are you in pain all? No. Just, I’m just so sleepy and I’m so. Weak. I can’t even lift my arms up to hook you. It’s okay. Don’t even try. I can’t.

I’m not getting better. Joey. It. I wish we had known that it was this serious. It’s better this way. I didn’t want you to go. I’m very glad you’re here and we’re not leaving. Not until you get. And you will get better. Okay. I know you will.

You’re lying. Dr. Wolf is the one who brewed up that orchestra for Roman back in the day, right? Yeah. 25 years ago. Kristin. But due to climate change, the orchid is now extinct. Your power, Dr. Roth claimed that the drug could not be duplicated as a result. Right. And we all know how honest Dr. Roth is. His lab was thoroughly searched.

There’s nothing there. Well, maybe it’s because I, uh, moved the orchid before anyone showed up. You moved it. You are plain with me. Don’t do that. Hm. You see Wolf, he saved seedlings from the uh, Orkin that cured Roman, and then he secretly grew a new plant. Okay, let’s say for a second that you’re telling the truth, which I highly doubt you have the orchid.

Where is it?

Yeah, Rex, he’s here. But if you couldn’t call Cassie Austin and posted,

all we need right now is pray. I will. Right. You take care, Billy. Hey. Hey. I just got back from Ralph s. Sean and I are forensics. We went over every inch of that place and there was nothing. Uh, no orchid, no potion, or whatever it is. I’m sorry. How’s your mom? Sh She’s not good. You think Dr. Ralph is telling the truth that you can, I don’t care what that guy has to say.

I don’t believe a word out of his mouth. I’ve got Kate and Kay and my mother who are running that. Yeah, I know know. Um, I just want you to know we’re not giving up Sean’s at the lab right now. He even called your brother Rex to help him, so that’s why it’s out of his mother’s wedding. Kate and your dad got married?

Yeah, right upstairs. Wow, So sweet. It’s so sad. Yeah. Rex and I decided to, you know, we should check on Kate and my dad decided to get married. Once became a witness and I performed the ceremony. It must have been really hard to get through. It was, but there were, you know, so happy to get married. Half like the history, you know, on and off and married, Divorced two kids together.

And right when they find their way back to each other, it’s, listen, at least you were able to marry them, bring them some happiness. They’ll always have that no matter what happens now. Yeah,

don’t worry. I got the orchid stashed someplace safe. You’re just loving this, aren’t you? Can see in your eyes. You couldn’t break Chloe in me up. I couldn’t get custody of Rachel. So this is your new game you’re gonna play. Oh, it’s not a game, it’s a game. Kristin, you’re dangling this cure in front of me and it doesn’t exist.

I’ll prove that I’m not bluffing.

Compare that to the photo of the old organ and you’ll see that is what everyone is looking for so desperately. Yeah. Okay. I’m gonna, I’m just gonna take your word for that. Okay. Yeah. Kind of cavalier about something that may be a miracle Marla needs. And just so you know, the serum is being formulated as we speak, and I hear that Marlena and company para fading fast.

Yeah. How about you’re loving that, aren’t you? Me? No. I am doing everything in my power to help them. You are wasting time that they don’t have. Right? Kristin? Let’s say I give you the benefit of the doubt against my better judgment. I know love a good quid pro quo, so if you provide the formula, What is it you get in return?

What can we do, mom? Anything we can bring you? No dad here. That’s all I need.

I’m gonna give you a little time along with your voice. Okay. I’ll go check on Marla. I won’t be gone long.

So Orpheus did this to you to get back at Dad, but maybe you don’t wanna talk about it. Sorry. No, it’s okay. He also did a prominent. To get even with them.

Listen, your voice, you need to be prepared. Don’t talk like that, mom. Now you are the strongest woman I have ever known. If anyone can get through this, it’s you, God, trying to convince myself that every.

Plane right here. I was just giving myself hell for all the time that I wasted being angry at you. Blaming you for what happened to my mom. You should have been blaming me. Stop. It’s all in the past. I look at you too, and I just, I’ll know how much you’ve all been through and I’m so. I’m proud you’ve become.

I wouldn’t have even tried to become a Doctor Edman for you. You and dad saw me through the toughest time in my life. I just wish there was something more we could do for you. Now,

participate in who you.

I’m still kicking myself for jumping all over you and dad for trying to protect him from Orpheus. What the hell did I think I was? Hey, your old man had orus peg this second. He came back into time me. I was, I was hopeful that maybe he had knowed, but. Steve knew better.

Hey baby. Hey. Got How’s mom? Well, your brothers are in there with her now. They just got here. I’m so glad they could make it. I know mom didn’t want them to see her like this, but wow. She changed her mind about that. Hey, I just, uh, saw Marlena talk to Bell.

She’s just getting a weaker, a weaker partner

trip, and Joey are probably mad at me for trying to keep them from coming. Is that okay if I go see mom too? Yeah, yeah. Sure baby. Go ahead.

You were so right about him. What are you talking about? Wow. When the partner, the pardon. That the Governor Orpheus, he came back to Salem. You called me into the pub and you said, Man, we need to end him, and I chucked you out of it. Come on, John. Don’t do this. No, man. I, I swear to God, if those girls don’t make it, Steve, I’m gonna hunt that best or don’t myself and I’m gonna end him.

What makes you think I want so, Oh, you’ve suddenly become a humanitarian. I don’t think so. Let me take a wild guess. Kristin, you give me the orchid and you get shared custody of Rachel. What if that was the deal? If that was the deal? Then I would say, I don’t want Marlena and Katen Jay to die. Wow. That’s a bit different then.

What? Your son and family court, you said I was the devil and accused me of breaking poor Chloe over the call. Listen, let’s stop wasting time. Give me the orchid and I’ll give you what you want.

I love my little. But Chad custody isn’t what I want. I want you to break it off with Chloe.

No way. No way. Now, . No way. Wow. You are wasting time again. You wanna save Marlena’s life? You dump Chloe it, and then you get back together with me.

I’ll get back with you when Al freezes over. This is insane. It’s not gonna work. Wow. You’re okay with Marlena dying if I reconcile with you. Everybody, everybody’s gonna know that you use the orchid to blackmail me into doing it. No. No, they won’t. Because you’re not gonna say anything about it. You see. No, Because if you do say something, this whole deal is off.

You want me to go to Chloe and tell her I’m I, I don’t know. I just can’t live without Kristen. She’s never gonna go for it. Nobody in this town is gonna go for it. Yes, they will. Yes they will. Because they know what a devoted father you. And they’ll see that your decision was because that you want what’s best for Rachel.

And they also know that Rachel hates Chloe. Yeah, you made sure of that, didn’t you? God, Come on Brady. Rachel is miserable without me. She has been through so much already. Yeah. Because of you. Just think about what you’re giving her. Think about the opportunity to grow up in a home with a mother and father who love her dearly.

Who would put her first, her happiness first ahead of everything. And even Chloe. Even Chloe, who’ll understand that you’re a monster. You know that? Yeah, you’re a monster. I am a mother who loves her child. There is no hope for you and Chloe, so why don’t you do a kind thing and end it with her? Now, Chloe’s a big girl.

She’s used to rejection. She can handle it.

Ugh. It’s taking everything I. to put some distance between Brady and me, but I know that I have to try because Rachel can’t stand aside of me right now. Well, does Rachel need to know that you and Brady are together? I don’t wanna start sneaking around and I, I don’t wanna do that to Brady. He’s in enough pain as it is.

But doesn’t that make you wanna be there for him? Of course. It. Oh, Nicole, I, I just, I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to make this horrible situation any less horrible. I get it. I do more than, you know, I do anything to be there for Eric right now, Unpronounced the men and wife, and now Kate can barely hold her head up.

I would’ve been bawling like a baby. That was back tears. My dad and Kate, they were all smiles. Listen, I know my dad, you know, come across as tough guy, but I could see how scared he was, you know? And could he lose his wife, but he could lose his little sister and the mother of two of his children? Well, because of one man whose rage is completely directed at my dad.

Yeah. I read in a case report that your dad accidentally shot or he’s. Sweats, what he’s loaded guilt to. I wish there was something more I can do to help. Right now you are helping. You’re a good cop. I mean, I went over Ralph Slab practically with a cotton swab. I was, I was like a crazy woman. I, I wanted to be the hero.

I wanted to say I got something, you know? I wanted to give hope. So those three women, And I wanted to be able to, to come to you and tell you that I did it for you.

Hi. Hey. Hey, Step. Can we go talk out in the hall? No, we just got here. Yeah, I’m not. I’m really sorry that I made it seem like it isn’t as bad as it is. Why’d you do that? Do you think we couldn’t handle it? No, We could have been here all this time. I’m your sister, mom. I woke you. I’m so sorry. No, I’m, It wasn’t Stephanie’s.

I did keep him. It was mine.

You see that looks like an orchid. Did you get one of those? No. Or if you have sent it to Doc, What just screwing with her minds. Just as I smashed it on the floor. Stephanie walked in. I swear she thinks I’ve lost my marbles. Did Marla see that thing? Oh yeah. That’s Whoa, whoa. Hey, where we, Where you going?

You know where I’m going? I’m gonna find that. No, no. Come on. Can’t do that man. Can’t leave the hospital. No. With the girls like this. You know that. Come on. Come on. Sit with me. Just sit with me. Come on, Go on.

He said it. He wants us to watch him die. Oh, we’re not gonna let that happen.

I’ve been racking my brain trying to find a way to save him, but this is science, man. This is beyond me. I hear you buddy. But we’re not giving up, man. We’re not given effort. But what can we do?

We faced some possible odds before Burner Doc kill two. How many times have we rescued each other main.

In all those times, I have never dealt as helpless as I do right now.

Forces you to think of possibility of life without him.

I feel like such a full, all the years I spent away from Kayla.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I can’t do it again.

You live without her. I can. I know. I know, man. I know.

But we’re run outta time. The odds are stacked against.

At least my old family’s together now. Nothing in the world. Next Cal. Happier than that. Been partner, damn it. We’re gonna live for today. We are just gonna treasure every damn second that we can.

That’s right buddy.

Go. Go man. Go.

I didn’t want you guys to. I wanted to call you and tell you that I was better. We’re not kids, Mom. I remember that Stephanie wanted you here, and she, Right, Like I said, I’m, I’m so happy you’re here. So my.

Look at us, , the five of us together. So don’t cry, mom. I hate seeing you upset. Yeah, it’s okay. I, I shouldn’t be crying. I should just, I should just be at home making a big pot of chili or some sloppy Joe for all you guys. Okay. , you’re gonna do that when you get. What if we had a family dinner right here?

Yeah. Trip. And I could go grab some food. What you say, Mom, please not cafeteria food. Is that in order? Absolutely.

Eric is the one who told me about Marlena, Kate, and Kayla, and he was so broken up. I wasn’t even thinking. I just pulled him in my arms and that’s when Ra and Gina walked in on us. Oh boy. How did they react? Well, they were okay once they found out what was going on with Marla and Rafe was great actually.

Jada kind of staked her claim. I mean, the message was loud and clear without her saying a word. She is Eric’s girlfriends and it is her job to comfort him. Damn. Uh, did you get the message? Yes, I got the message. I’m married to re and I should back off Lyric and I did back. Look, the truth is Marlena is in critical condition, and when Eric is hurting, I just wanna be there for him.

There’s still this old pool that I’ve always felt between us, and I would be lying if I didn’t admit that. I still feel it. Does that sound bad for one, to be the hero during a time like this? Shit, I know you’re not in it for the glory. You’re, you’re trying to help three women who need a miracle. You know, I haven’t heard from Sean since I left the lab.

Nothing, you know, he is pretty wrapped up in this case and sometimes he forgets to keep me in the loop. I should probably head out to the squad room. If there’s any new developments, I’ll be sure to let you know. Okay. Where will you be? Um, here and, you know, in case my dad needs me. Okay. Okay. I’ll, uh, I’ll let you know if I hear anything new.

You’ll be the first. All right. Hey,

you said. You know, you like be a person. I can count on

you have.

Let me get this straight. I break it off with Chloe, and then you provide the serum that is going to cure Marla and the others. Is that right? Mm. You left something out. See, after you break it off with Chloe, you reconcile with me and you and I and Rachel become a loving family. And don’t you dare think you can just turn around and dump me after they’re all cured.

You see, Wolf said that they’re all going to need a second dose in a few months and then maybe a booster after that. And I am the only one that can see to it that they all get it. You and I are in for it. Brady,

that’s serum. Better work. I did before, didn’t it? I wouldn’t take too much time thinking about. Those ladies don’t have any time left. Well, what’s to think about? I walk away and three women die.

I’m in.

I’m really glad Trip. And Joe, you’re here. The three of us need each other. And look on mom’s face when she saw us all together. Yeah, she’s been over the moon since you came back home. All I want is more time with no baby, but I’m not giving up hope and I don’t want you to either. We just have to try to make every second we have with her as full of joy as we can.

All right. We went to Brunos. Got everyone’s favorite smell. Pizza. We got a mushroom pizza here for you. That is if you want smell so good, can I.

So you still have this pole, or Eric? Hm. And you still look so disapproving because mother may be dying. It makes sense for me to wanna be with him. You’re with him all the time. You hired him at Basic Black, remember? Well, because he’s a great photographer. Come on, Chloe. Gimme a break. Listen, if I’m hard on you, it’s because you are my friend and I love you, and I want you to be happy, okay?

You want me to be happy? Is that code for Don’t do anything stupid. Mm. Kind of maybe. Yeah, but I understand. Okay. It’s just nice to talk about this with someone I trust cuz you know, it’s, it’s really hard to be alone up here in my head sometimes. , you really are good friend Chloe. Hm. I’m so are you and Lord knows you’ve heard enough of my troubles.

Yes. . Well, whenever you need me. Whenever. Well, good. Thank you cuz I have a feeling I’m gonna need it.

Okay.

if I give you what you want up front, I’m not so sure that you’re gonna hold up your end of the bargain. So here’s what I want. I’m not gonna say a damn word to Chloe until that first dose is administered and I have proof that it’s working. Okay, fine, fine. But as soon as the ladies start recovery, you need to go straight to Chloe and given the news.

You don’t have to worry about that. Unlike you, I keep my promise. I will break up with Chloe once I know that drug is working and you, me and Rachel will all live under one roof and be a family. But here’s what you need to remember. You may have succeeded in using our little girl and three innocent women to get what you want, but you need to know that there is no way on earth that you are ever gonna make me love you, and you’re gonna find that you’re gonna be a hell of a lot more lone.

And a loveless relationship than you ever were on your own time will tell details. Kristen, I want to know how, I want to know when I want to know where all this is going down. Well, if everything goes according to plan, the serum should be delivered to the hospital very soon. Very soon I want to. What is soon is that today?

Well, it won’t be long until it’s in your father’s hands. That miracle killer.

I hate you for doing this.

In the old adage, a thin line between love and hate. I do. I know that adage, Do you know this one? Be careful what you wish for.

That’s way better than hospital food. Mm-hmm. , I think it’s the best tasting thing I’ve ever tasted in my whole life.

Bit happier.

It, its, its.

Sam, Sammy, I know you’re scared. So am I. Of course. You know you want to be. It’s okay. You, you need to be there for Sidney. That’s what mom would want you to do. Of course. I’ll tell him, Dad, you love him. He already knows that times like this, you gotta get your strength in the people that you love.

I am not a horrible person. I am doing a good. I’m saving lives and all sorts of people. They’re gonna be grateful to me.

Why should I be the one to end up alone?

I’m gonna have my family again, and we are gonna be together no matter what Brady thinks now he’ll learn to love me again.

I just can’t sit back. And that bitch Chloe Lane, steal everything that I love and she’s gonna be out of the picture. That good? Hmm.

Hmm.

Wow. What a coincidence. I was just thinking about you,

Mr. Black. Yeah. I’m Detective Jada Hunter. This was just delivered to the police headquarters. The vows full, the serum from the orchid. It came with this note.

It says it can save my wife’s life. And ca Kayla Johnson to down him. It’s another one of his tricks. Wait, wait. What are talking about? He’s, he’s.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Roman is in his room on the phone with Rex while Kate sleeps in bed behind him. Roman tells Rex that Kate is resting now but asks if there’s anything more he can do for her. Rex is at the hospital and tells Roman that at this point, just let her rest and keep her spirits up. Roman agrees to do his best and thanks him. Rex asks Roman to tell Kate that he will be by soon when she wakes up. Roman then hangs up. Sarah then approaches Rex at the hospital.

John sits with Marlena in the hospital and encourages her to keep fighting, noting that they have been through Hell and back to be together. Belle and Eric join him in the room. Eric asks if there really is no cure other than the orchid. Belle asks what Dr. Rolf said when John and Steve confronted him. John says that Dr. Rolf swore to know nothing about this and insisted he didn’t have the orchid.

Dr. Rolf goes to see Kristen at her apartment. Kristen mockingly asks why he’s so upset. Dr. Rolf says this is serious and reveals that the police showed up with a search warrant and are tearing up his lab as they speak. Kristen remarks that they know what they won’t find as she holds the Orchid with her. Dr. Rolf is glad she is so calm. Kristen asks what he’s so worried that the police will find in his lab and asks if there’s anything illegal laying around. Dr. Rolf says he moved everything out but complains about how disrespectful it is to his work. Kristen talks about taking care of the Orchid and how they know if the flower dies, so does Kayla, Marlena, and Kate.

Kate wakes up and calls out for Roman. Roman brings her water and says that Rex made him promise to keep her hydrated. Kate asks if he’s been at her side the whole time which he confirms. Kate feels very lucky. Roman doesn’t know what he would do if he couldn’t be with her. Kate encourages that he needs to go see Kayla. Roman states that Kayla has Steve and he’s been checking in, so Kate is stuck with him watching after her. Kate asks if they’ve found the Orchid. Roman responds that they are still looking. Kate complains that she’s tired of feeling like this and having to fight to keep her eyes open. Roman encourages her to not give up and stay here with him. Kate asks if he has big plans. Roman responds that he does have to show her something and she won’t want to miss it. Roman then presents Kate with a ring and gets down on his knee to propose to Kate.

Sarah tells Rex that she’s sorry about his mom. They talk about Kate not being in the hospital as she wanted to be in her own bed with Roman around. Rex calls Roman the best treatment she could ask for since there is no medicine or treatment.

Kate praises the ring as Roman tells Kate that she is as beautiful as ever. Kate says she’s done a lot of questionable things in her life but she must have done one thing right. Roman praises her and jokes about needing an answer so he can get off his knees. Kate responds that she’s sorry but she has to say no.

Brady and Chloe lay in bed together as Chloe brings up breaking up. Chloe talks about Kristen trying to drive a wedge between them, causing one between Brady and Rachel. Brady encourages that it will all work out in the end and that Rachel will come around. Brady assures that he is putting Rachel first. Chloe complains that Rachel hates her and that’s not going to change anytime soon, so if Rachel’s happiness is most important to him then she thinks they need to break up. Brady points out that if they break up, it would be giving Kristen exactly what she wants.

Kristen thanks Dr. Rolf for trusting her to care for the Orchid. Dr. Rolf points out she gave him no choice. Kristen points out that if she didn’t take it, it would’ve fallen in to the wrong hands. Dr. Rolf admits that the police would have it and then Rex would use it as the cure for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Dr. Rolf then asks if Kristen plans on holding on to the orchid until the three women die.

Belle asks what if the police come up empty handed at Dr. Rolf’s lab. John then gets a text from Shawn, confirming there is no orchid in the lab. Marlena wakes up and says she hopes nobody is giving up on her just yet.

Roman gets up and admits he wasn’t expecting Kate to turn down his proposal. Kate says she’s sorry but to look where they are. Roman jokes that he would’ve preferred to take her to Paris but his hands are tied. Kate tells him that there is no cure and they both know what that means. Kate says she’s been close to death before but not like this. Roman refuses to give up. Kate tells Roman that she loves him for everything he’s done for her but she’s filled with regrets for all the time she wasted making bad choices. Kate talks about all the years that Roman loved her and she was too stupid or proud to admit that she loves him back. Roman says that doesn’t matter anymore since he has her now and has no intention of letting her go. Roman calls every second with her precious and he wants the world to know that she is his wife forever. Roman pleads with Kate to say yes to his proposal so they will be husband and wife in this moment. Kate then accepts his proposal and they kiss.

John assures Marlena that nobody is giving up on her here. Belle says they will fight with her every step of the way. Marlena says she will take all the help. Eric offers to say a prayer which Marlena admits she would like. Eric, Belle, John, and Marlena then all join hands as Eric says a prayer for God to keep her with them longer.

Kristen tells Dr. Rolf that if Kate, Kayla, and Marlena do die, some would say it’s Dr. Rolf’s fault for creating the pathogen. Rolf argues that he had nothing to do with infecting the women and talks about how he began formulating the antidote serum with the orchid just in case. Kristen points out that then he could save the day and prove his innocence. Dr. Rolf says he’s innocent. Kristen says she is too but Dr. Rolf points out that she is keeping the orchid herself instead of saving the women. Kristen calls that not a crime and says she’s come to like having the orchid around. Dr. Rolf argues that if Kristen wanted the women to die, she would have destroyed the orchid instead of leaving it to chance that someone could find it. Dr. Rolf asks Kristen what her real plan is.

Belle tells Marlena to let them know if she needs anything. Marlena asks about Kate and Kayla. Eric says they are hanging in, just like her. Marlena asks about Roman. Eric notes that Roman hasn’t left Kate’s bedside for a second. Marlena tells Eric that he should go too which he questions. Marlena says she loves having him here but she thinks Roman needs him. Eric refuses to go anywhere. Marlena points out that Belle and John are here. Eric still doesn’t want to go but Marlena questions if he’s going to argue with her in this condition. Marlena says to give them her love. Eric then agrees to go check on Roman and Kate but says he’s coming right back. Eric tells Marlena that he loves her. Eric then hugs John and Belle before leaving the room. John then gets a call from Sami and gives the phone to Marlena. Marlena tells her that she’s much better after hearing her voice.

Kristen remarks that maybe it would serve her right if she let Marlena die. Dr. Rolf argues that it’s not her endgame since Marlena is Rachel’s grandmother and their rivalry over John is in the past. Kristen complains that Marlena refused to help her with Brady and Rachel. Dr. Rolf knows Kristen doesn’t take her eyes off the prize and the only prize to her is Brady while she has a rival for Brady’s affections.

Chloe questions Brady being willing to risk his relationship with his daughter so that Kristen can’t win. Brady says it’s more than that as he loves Chloe so much, so he’s not going to let anyone keep them apart. Chloe doesn’t want to be the reason he loses his daughter. Brady assures that he won’t. Chloe worries that Rachel’s anger won’t get better. Brady insists that Rachel will come around and be fine. Chloe asks what if she’s never fine with them being together. Brady says he doesn’t have an answer but he knows that sacrificing their happiness is not it.

Dr. Rolf talks about Kristen having him resurrect Stefan to go after Chloe in hopes he would woo her away from Brady but it didn’t work, so he thinks the Orchid is plan B. Kristen tells him that her motives are none of his business. Kristen tells him to trust her judgment like he would with Stefano. Dr. Rolf doesn’t think Stefano would approve of her putting Marlena at risk to get her husband back. Kristen warns Dr. Rolf to watch his place. Dr. Rolf argues that his place is upholding Stefano’s legacy. Kristen asks why he’s so worried about Marlena and points out that he has a stash of clones ready to go. Dr. Rolf claims to have no idea what she’s talking about. Dr. Rolf asks if this was about Marlena, does that make Kayla and Kate just collateral damage?

Kate thanks Roman for giving her life and love. Roman cannot wait to make her his bride. Roman then gets a call from prison and it’s Lucas. Roman asks if Kate feels up to talking to him. Kate says she has good news to tell him so Roman gives her the phone. Kate then informs Lucas that she’s getting married.

Sarah asks Rex if there’s anything she can do to help. Rex appreciates the offer but says without the Orchid, nothing can be done. Rex tells Sarah that he just wants her to be happy in her life after he messed up with them badly, but he’s grateful for the time they had. Sarah says she is too.

Kate tells Lucas that she’s so proud of him for taking responsibility for everything he did and calls it such a brave thing to do. Kate wishes Lucas peace and happiness. Kate is sure Lucas will be the man and father to his children that she knows he can be. Kate tells him that she loves him so much. Kate assures that she will see him when he gets out as they hang up. Kate tells Roman that she couldn’t tell him the truth because Lucas is suffering enough. Roman bets that Kate will see Lucas when he’s released. Kate says right now, she just wants to enjoy this moment with Roman. Roman wants her to be his wife. Kate doesn’t think they have time to get married but Roman says they can do it right here as all they need is an officiant and a witness. Rex and Eric then arrive. Roman calls it their lucky day as they are just in time for a wedding.

Kristen asks if Dr. Rolf is suddenly developing a conscious. Dr. Rolf calls it self preservation. Kristen responds that if any of them die, it won’t be traced back to Dr. Rolf. Dr. Rolf blames Orpheus for their illness but if they die with the cure in Kristen’s hands, that is on her and her alone.

Marlena tells Sami that she understands that she’s there for her daughter Sydney and she’d be here if she could. Marlena adds that there is something Sami could do that would make her feel a lot better. Marlena says she could talk to her sister as she then hands the phone to Belle. Belle holds back tears and tells her that she and Eric will take care of Marlena for all of them. Belle says she loves her too and hangs up. John asks if that was not what Belle expected. Belle admits that Sami was very kind. John takes it that Eric was right that sometimes there’s no limits to God’s miracles.

Kate puts her makeup on and jokes that maybe now she can look presentable for her wedding. Rex encourages her and says he’s just glad to watch her marry the love of her life. Roman returns with Eric and flowers.

Kristen talks about the Orchid being so delicate and fragile. Dr. Rolf points out that she is holding the last of it’s kind and the last chance for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla to survive.

John tells Marlena that she can stop trying to be strong now as it’s just them and he can see how hard this is for her. Marlena acknowledges that she could never hide anything from him. Marlena admits she feels awful and that everything hurts. John decides he will be strong for both of them now. Sarah then enters with an orchid plant that was delivered for Marlena.

Eric officiates the wedding of Roman and Kate. Roman has flashbacks to his first relationship and wedding with Kate as he smiles and says “I definitely do”. Kate then has flashbacks to their current relationship and says “I do”. Rex then hands over the rings. Eric pronounces Roman and Kate as husband and wife and then they kiss.

John observes the orchid plant that was delivered and finds the note. Marlena questions who sent it. John says it’s nothing. Marlena reminds him that they promised to be honest and asks for the card, so he hands it over. Marlena reads the card saying it’s not the Orchid she’s looking for, but it’s beauty takes her breath away. Marlena reads that it won’t be long before her last breath and the orchid will die with her as the card was from Orpheus.

Brady goes to Kristen’s apartment and questions her wanting to see him. Kristen says they need to talk. Brady brings up the letter that Kristen put in Rachel’s lunchbox, saying that Chloe is the reason she can’t see her. Kristen claims not to know what he’s talking about. Brady declares that he doesn’t have time for games because Marlena is dying. Kristen responds that maybe that doesn’t have to happen which Brady questions. Kristen declares that maybe she can save Marlena, Kayla, and Kate too.

Yeah, well, she’s resting, but uh, her fever’s still pretty high. Is there anything we can do for her that at this point all you can do is just. Make sure she’s comfortable and keep her spirits up. Okay. I’ll do my best. Thanks son. Oh, and then dad, um, when she wakes up, can you just tell her I’ll be by soon?

Okay.

You just keep on.

We have been through hell and back to be together, so I know you’re gonna find a way to whip this.

Listen as there really no hope for a cure other than the orchid. Yeah. What did Ralph say when you and Rex confronted him? Ah, he swears up and die. He knows nothing about the pathogen or because she used to affect your mother or the orchid. He insisted he doesn’t have it.

I thought you so long to answer. I was watering the plant. Why do you look so upset? I am upset. What happened? Ralphie, Igor, bring you the wrong brand again. This is no joke, Kristin. Okay. Okay. What is the Christ case, Phil? After that surprise visit by John Black and my former protege, Rex Brady, a police showed up as a search for it for my.

They search to that they’re tearing it apart as we speak. Well, at least we know what they won’t find in your little shops. Hmm.

Like sand through the hour. Glass. So are the days of our lives.

I’m glad you are so calm about the police raid. What exactly are you worried they’ll find in your lab? Ralph, is there anything less than legal lying around? I managed to move my most sensitive projects to an undisclosed location. Even so watching those Salem PD Creton bulls have a through my lab, so disrespectful to the brilliance.

It is my life’s fur. I feel you. That’s a good thing that we saved this little beauty. Um, you’ll seem to be taking good care of it. Well, of course I am. Both know if this flower die, so does the good doctors. Johnson and Evans,

Roman. I’m right here. Right here. Okay. Drink some water. Our son, the doctor made me promised to keep you hydrated. Ah,

Have you been at my side the whole time? What do you think? I think you’re very lucky. Well, I am lucky to sing it and continues cuz I don’t know. What I do is I couldn’t be here with him. You need to go see your sister. Kayla’s got. And I’ve been checking in as much as I can. All right, so I’m sorry you are stuck with me watching after you handing foot.

Has they found the orchid? They’re still looking.

Roman. I am so tired of feeling like this. I have to fight to keep my eyes open. Katie, don’t you? You got that. You stay here with me. You understand? Why do you have big plans? Yeah. Matter of fact, I do need to show you something and I’m pretty sure you’re not gonna wanna miss it.

Roman

has Elizabeth Roberts, Will you again do me of being my wife.

I’m so sorry about your mom. Thank you. I understand that she’s chosen enough to stay in the hospital. Yes, she um, she wants to be in her own bed. Is your dad with her? And because there’s no cure even a treatment at this point. He’s the best medicine she could ask for.

That is a stunner. Well, you are trying anytime. You’re sweet, but I think we both know that you’re lying because I have to look worse than I feel. Not to me. You don’t. You are as beautiful as a, I’ve done a lot of questionable things in my life, but I must have done one right thing. You did a lot of great things, Kate, and I don’t mean to rush you, but a decade of standing behind that bar downstairs did not help my knees.

Okay. So if I don’t get an answer pretty soon, I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to stand up again. Answer, Yeah. Well, pretty simple. Only two choices. Yes. And the other one I can ask the question again if you.

I’m sorry, I have to say no.

Um, I’m sorry. I don’t get the joke. It’s. No joke. You want to, you, do you wanna break up after what just happened here just now? What? What are you talking about? I don’t, I don’t want to break up then. What? What are you, what are you saying? Well, Kristen’s trying to put a wedge between us. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We’ve already established that. There’s no way in hell she can do that. Yeah. Not on our own, but she succeeded coming between you and your daughter. Everything’s gonna work out okay. A racial will come. I believe that, but in the meantime, you have to prioritize, Rachel. You have to put her first. I am, I’m, I’m totally putting Rachel first, but she hates me and that’s not gonna change any time soon.

And if her happiness is what’s most important to you, and I think that, that we need to break up. And Chloe, do you understand if we do that then you are, you were just giving Kristen exactly what she.

You know, I am growing a real affinity for this little plant. Thank you for trusting me to care for it, as if you gave me a choice. Well, I wasn’t gonna let it fall into the wrong hands, which it would. I’ll admit, if you hadn’t taken it from my lab, it would be in police custody right now, and Rex Brady would be using it to synthesize a cure for Malaina, Kayla and Kate.

Is that your way of saying thank you? That’s my way of asking the question. Are you planning on miss holding it until those three women die?

So if the police come up empty handed after searching Ralph’s lap, then

John, what is it? Its Shawn.

No work in the lab.

I hope nobody’s giving up on me just yet.

Well, uh, , Okay. I wasn’t expecting that. I’m sorry, Roman, but look where we are. Well look, I would prefer taking you to Paris for the proposal, but you know, my hands were kind of tight. That’s not what I mean. And you know it, And what is it? There’s no cure. And we both know what that means. And I’ve been close.

I’ve been close to death before, but not like this. I am not giving up.

I love you honey. I love you for that. And I love you for this proposal and I love you for the rain and I love you for everything that you do for me and everything you, and everything you are, and I’m just full of, um, filled with regrets, reject. For what? For all the time I wasted making bad choices all those years that you loved me and I was either too stupid or or too proud to admit that I loved you back.

Okay, Katie, that doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve got you now and I have no intention of letting you go every moment, every second with you. Was fresh. And every one of those seconds, I want you in the world to know that you’re the only one for me, that you’re my wife, My forever. Forever, Yes. Forever and always.

So please, please, Katie, please say yes and we will be husband and wife in this moment. Come when.

Yes. Yes, Robin. Yes.

No, no, no, no. Pretty lady. Nobody’s coming up on anybody here. No, nevermind. No. We’re gonna fight this with you every step of the way. I’ll take, I can get, Speaking of which, would it be okay if we. Set a prayer for healing and strength together. I like that

we together and humbly ask you to heal her body the same way you healed her spirit. We understand that you want her by her side in heaven right now. This strong, warm, loving, and brilliant woman needs to be right here in our our world with our family. She’s bit longer. I’ll show you. Amen for that.

Amen. You know, if Kayla and Marlena and Kate do die, some would say it was your fault. My fault. Yeah. You’re the one who created a pathogen, did you not? I had nothing to do with infecting those women. They, No, no, no, no. That was Orpheus doing. But he did steal it from your lab. And once I realized it, I grew that tiny orchid, nurtured it from a seedling, and began formulating the ode.

Just in case. Just in case the authorities traced it back to you. Right. The pathogen and then you could save the day and prove your innocence. I am innocent. Well, what a coincidence. So am I. Except that you are keeping the orca to yourself instead of saving those women. Is that a crime? Like I said, I’m becoming attached to it.

It adds a little, um, Touch of trauma into. Drap surroundings. I know you, Kristen, if you were going to let those women die, you would’ve destroyed that bit orchid by now. Instead, you alleviate the chance that someone might discover it or take it from you. So if this isn’t about spite or revenge, but it’s your real plan.

Do you want some water or some ice chips? No. Well, thank you. Note right now. Will you let us know if you need anything? We’re all here for you,

Kayla. They’re, they’re hanging in just like you and your dad. Dad hasn’t left Kate’s bedside for one second. Yeah. Yeah, honey, you should, um, you should go to it. Are you trying to get rid of me, mom? No, I love him. I love having you here, but I think Roman needs you. Well, I’m not going anywhere.

Bella is here and John. Rather be traveled by elephants of the side. She knows me pretty well now. I’m not going anywhere either. Are you good to argue with me when I’m in this condition? That’s pretty low, mom. I know. Give them both by,

okay. I’m gonna go check on Dad and Kate, but I’m coming in right back.

That’s, I love you. I love you.

Samantha. Hey, kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on a second.

Hi, sweetie.

I’m, I’m much better now that I’ve heard your voice. Maybe it would serve Marlena, right? If I just let her die. Letting Marlena expire is not your end game. How do you know that? Starters, she’s your daughter’s grandmother. And your rivalry over John Black is a singer. As a past, you might almost say that you are friends.

Okay. Yet I went to her had in hand and I asked her to help me convince Brady that I should be able to see my daughter and she refused to help. Interesting that you mentioned that. Why? Because if there’s one thing I know about you, Kristen, is that you don’t take your eye off surprise. And the only prize that matters to you is John’s son, and you do have arrival for Brady’s affections.

So you’re willing to risk your relationship with your daughter so that Kristen can’t win. Stop. You know? It’s more than that. I love you so much. I’m not gonna let Kristen or anyone else keep us apart, or by the way, I know you love me too. Of course I do. I love you and I don’t wanna be the reason that you lose your daughter, baby.

I am not gonna lose my daughter, but she’s so angry at you. What if that doesn’t get any better and it just gets worse? Eh? It will get better. She will come around. Rachel will be fine. What if she’ll never be happy with us being together? So, I, I don’t have an answer to, to getting Rachel. To be better about us as a couple, but I know this, I know that sacrificing my happiness and, and pretending that I don’t love you, that Amen.

You had me condition your resurrected brother Stephan, to pursue Chloe Lane in the hopes that he would woo her away from Brady Black, but it didn’t work. , so I suspect withholding the orchid is plan B. Hmm. Uhuh, my motives are not your concern. Did you question my father like this? When you assigned a task, your father and I had spirited debates, but in the end I always trusted his judgment.

And trust mine. I am certain Stephan would not approve of putting his beloved Marlena at risk so that you can have your husband back. Careful. Doctor, you’re forgetting your place. My place is to protect your father’s legacy. Hmm. Why are you so focused on Marlena and her condition? Like I said, you have a stash of clones.

That Ready? Hm. Again, I have no idea to what you are referring. Sure. . What the sake of argument? Let’s say this is about Mela. What about those other two women are Kayla Johnson and Kate Roberts? Just collateral damage.

Thank you for giving me life and love. Even now, I cannot wait to make you my bride.

Uh, yeah. Um, yeah, I’ll accept the call. Uh, It’s Lucas from Statesville. Do you feel up to talking to him? Uh, yeah. Yes, I have good news to tell him,

Hey, baby, guess what? Your mom’s getting married. Right?

Is there anything that I can do to help if, if the lab needs an extra hand? No, I, I, I appreciate the offer, but without that or, Nothing could be done. I’m so sorry. Thanks, Sarah. I, I hope you know that. I just want you to be happy. Have a good life. I messed up with us badly, but, um, I’m grateful. I’m grateful for the time that we had.

Yeah, me too.

I know, I know Lucas, I wish you could be here too. Look, there’s something I wanna tell you. I am so proud of you. Well, for taking responsibility for everything that you did. So just that that was such a brave thing to do.

Well, I am wishing you peace, darling, and I’m wishing you happiness and I’m. I’m sure you’re going to be the man and the father to your children that I, that I know that you can be. I love you so much.

No, of course, of course. I’m going to see you when you get out. That’s right. I love you. Bye.

Well, I couldn’t tell him the truth. He’s suffering enough. Okay. I am betting big time that you will be around to see him, speak with him and hug him when he’s released.

Well, right now I just wanna enjoy this moment being your fiance. I don’t what. I don’t want you to be my fiance. I don’t want you to be my wife. I love that idea, but I don’t think we have time to get married. Of course we do. We can do it right here. All we need an fish on and someone to witness it.

And this must be our lucky day. You two guys are just in time for a wedding,

my dear Doctor, don’t tell me that you’re suddenly developing a con. Call it self-preservation. Well, if any or all of them do die, it won’t be traced back to you. No. Should it Obvious Bears four responsibility for an illness, but if they die, we secure literally right in your hands. That’s our you, Kristin, and you alone.

See, I may, of course, I understand

I love you too.

You expected Sammy was, uh, very kind. So Eric was right. Sometimes there’s more limits. God’s miracles.

Thank you for bringing me my makeup back. Maybe now I can at least look presentable for my wedding. Oh, come on. You look beautiful. Mom, as always, I’m just happy to be here to watch you marry the love of your life.

You brought me flowers. Yeah. They were growing outside. Right under your window. You told me the other day that, uh, you wanted to pick them, so I did it for you there. Be beautiful. Well, no bride of mine is gonna get married without a proper bouquet. Oh.

I adore wild flowers. So do I. So delicate, so fragile. No wonder it doesn’t exist in the world any longer. As far as we know, the holdings are last of its kind and visit. It’s the last chance for Elena Evans and the others to survive

I definitely do.

Update written by Joseph

Chanel goes to see Paulina in her office and questions what’s wrong as she looks really serious. Paulina suggests she sit down.

Alex goes to see Stephanie at her home and calls her the biggest hypocrite he’s ever met because he has to follow all the rules while she can do whatever the hell she wants. Stephanie questions what he’s talking about. Alex argues that she said she would only continue working at Titan if he stopped asking her out, so he’s been trying to keep it professional and business. Chad questions him showing up at her house with wild accusations not crossing any lines. Alex then asks if Stephanie sleeping with the new guy she just hired is not a violation of her rules or if she just makes an exception for Chad DiMera.

Johnny goes to leave the DiMera Mansion right as Wendy Shin arrives and says she’s looking for Stefan DiMera as she walks in.

At the DiMera Office, Gabi tells Stefan to look in to her eyes and questions where all of his love for her has gone. Stefan then has a flashback to admitting his feelings for Gabi. EJ asks Stefan what’s wrong.

Johnny tells Wendy that he didn’t invite her in but she says it’s too late. Johnny asks who the hell she is and what she wants. Wendy repeats that she needs to see Stefan but Johnny tells her that he’s not home. Wendy asks if he knows where she can find him. Johnny threatens to call security unless she tells him who the hell she is. Wendy then introduces herself and asks who the hell he is.

Stefan responds that what’s wrong is Gabi stole his job and he wants it back. Li argues that even if the shareholders vote their way, Stefan’s insane if he thinks EJ is going to let him run the company. Stefan tells him that he and EJ are going to run it together as co-CEOs. EJ notes that didn’t work out for he and Chad but he knows Chad will be overjoyed that they are back in charge at DiMera. Stefan says his first order will be to clean up and take out the trash. Li warns that this is a mistake while EJ declares that all traitors must go. Li tells Gabi not to worry and he will do everything in his power to help her. EJ points out that Li can’t help her because they will be getting rid of him too.

Stephanie questions how Alex came to the conclusion that she and Chad are sleeping together. Alex responds that he’s not an idiot and reveals that he saw them last night at Julie’s Place with a bottle of champagne. Alex complains about Stephanie lecturing him all this time about sexual harassment in the workplace. Alex tells Stephanie to just be honest because it’s clear what happened between her and her new employee last night and now here they are on the morning after. Chad jokes that he thought he said he wasn’t an idiot.

Chanel sits down and asks Paulina why she is here. Paulina responds that it’s about her campaign. Chanel says they can’t make more cookies but Paulina says it’s not about that. Paulina then reveals the file folder to her.

Li argues that his father is chairman of the board so they can’t oust him. EJ responds that he can and says he’ll be back shortly with Stefan’s voting proxy. EJ suggests they contact the shareholders to let them know they will be calling a meeting even though they already know the outcome. EJ laughs and then exits. Stefan advises Gabi to take anything she needs from the desk. Gabi argues that she knows it’s still there. Stefan can’t wait until she’s gone so he doesn’t have to listen to this anymore. Stefan then orders Gabi to clean out her desk. Li tells her not to do anything and declares that he’s going to find EJ and put a stop to this. Stefan warns that there’s nothing he can do to stop it. Li says they will see about that and goes after EJ.

Wendy informs Johnny that Li Shin is her older brother. Johnny remembers hearing that she kicked ass at the DiMera Gala in Hong Kong and calls it impressive. Johnny asks what she needs to see Stefan about. Wendy says that’s none of his business. Johnny introduces himself. Wendy asks if he knows when Stefan will be home. Johnny says he just left so it will probably be awhile. Wendy responds that she doesn’t have time to stick around but she’ll be back as she then exits the mansion.

Alex questions what Chad is laughing at. Stephanie states that Alex obviously knows she hired Chad and she’s been using her home as an office. Chad explains that with Kayla in the hospital and Steve staying with her, Stephanie has been here at home, working. Alex remarks that except when she’s out getting wasted with Chad. Stephanie informs Alex that Chad went home last night and came back this morning, pointing out that they are wearing different clothes than they were at Julie’s Place. Chad informs Alex that they didn’t sleep together. Stephanie suggests Alex go now because they have a lot of work to do. Chad adds that Stephanie is not a hypocrite but Alex has been a complete jackass.

Chanel is shocked by the folder and questions where it came from. Paulina responds that a sleazy lawyer Sloan Peterson brought it to her last night on behalf of a mystery client. Chanel questions Paulina being blackmailed and asks how they even know about this. Paulina doesn’t know as it happened so long ago that she was sure it would never come out. Chanel cries that it’s all her fault and that Paulina’s campaign could be ruined because of some stupid mistake she made in college. Paulina tells her to forget the campaign as that’s the last thing on her mind right now and she only cares about protecting her. Chanel worries about this getting out but Paulina assures that it won’t and that everything is under control. Sloan then enters and questions what makes her say that. Sloan introduces herself to Chanel and says she feel like they already met since she knows so much about her. Paulina warns Sloan not to talk to Chanel or even look at her. Sloan asks if they’ve come to any decision yet. Paulina argues that it hasn’t been 24 hours yet. Sloan informs her that her clients are getting antsy so she needs to know how they plan to proceed with the settlement offer. Paulina calls it blackmail. Chanel questions Sloan doing this for a living for people too afraid to show their faces. Chanel argues that she can’t do this. Sloan says there is a very simple solution but the clock is ticking. Paulina talks about dealing with people like her over the years and they all failed, so she doesn’t scare her. Sloan remarks that Chanel seems pretty scared. Paulina assures that her PR firm is handling the situation. Sloan calls it a lawsuit waiting to happen with a very unpleasant discovery process. Chanel calls her disgusting. Sloan suggests Chanel tell Paulina to deal with her directly. Paulina argues that Stephanie is trained to deal with delicate situations like this. Paulina then threatens to deal with her directly but says she has to get back to her campaign because she has more important things to deal with. Sloan argues that she is by far the most important thing she has to deal with. Sloan warns that if Paulina hasn’t discovered that by now, she soon will.

Alex admits maybe he jumped to conclusions and that he was surprised to come over and see Chad. Chad questions why he’s coming over at all. Alex says the point is that Stephanie has all these workplace rules that he’s trying to abide by but it’s impossible which she disagrees with. Alex asks how her date with Chad was then. Stephanie clarifies that it wasn’t a date and that they were celebrating his first day on the job. Alex questions how celebrating her new employee’s first day on the job is okay but if he wants to ask out his employee, it’s highly offensive and inappropriate. Chad explains that what happened between he and Stephanie was consensual. Alex thanks him for admitting there’s something between them.

Wendy sits in the town square with her laptop and tries hacking in to Li’s work e-mail but she can’t succeed. She complains and wonders what Li is hiding as Johnny jogs by and comments on her having a rough day at the virtual office.

Li follows EJ to the board room and says he needs to speak to him privately. EJ says there is nothing to discuss as they are going to vote Gabi out and once they are back in charge, Li will be fired and removed from the board. Li says he won’t be and warns that if EJ tries to get rid of him, he’ll make Stefan flip on him so fast that his head will spin.

Gabi reminds Stefan of something he got for her and argues that she triggered a memory. Stefan tells her to stop. Gabi argues that everyone in the room saw he got rattled because his feelings for her were trying to rise from the surface. Gabi points out that it’s just them now. Gabi tells him to look in to her eyes and tell her the truth. Stefan then admits he was thinking about them.

Sloan threatens to go straight to the press with this information. Paulina argues that she won’t do that because if she does, this is over and her clients will never get what they want from her. Chanel argues that this isn’t Paulina’s problem but hers. Sloan is pretty sure it’s Paulina’s problem too. Paulina warns her to keep her daughter’s name out of her mouth. Paulina orders Sloan to take it up with Stephanie. Sloan warns that if she doesn’t get the results she wants, she’ll be back. Paulina tells her to get the hell out of her office. Sloan then exits. Chanel cries to Paulina that she’s so sorry. Paulina hugs her and assures that it’s okay.

Alex argues that even if Chad and Stephanie didn’t have sex, there is something going on between them and asks her if he’s right. Chad responds that she doesn’t owe him an explanation. Alex agrees and says Stephanie can date whoever she wants but asks her not to paint him out to be a jackass when she is doing exactly what she told him that he couldn’t do. Alex tells Stephanie to just be honest with him that she’s not attracted to him. Chad points out that she has repeatedly. Alex says she can speak for herself. Stephanie would prefer to just end this conversation. Alex admits that he didn’t believe Stephanie wasn’t in to him and he thought maybe they would get to a point where she would feel comfortable. Alex adds that he would’ve quit his job because he thought they could have had something special. Alex states that he came over to tell Stephanie that he’s sorry about her mom being in the hospital and how he acted like a jerk at the hospital when he didn’t know. Stephanie says she insisted that she was fine but Alex says he still felt terrible. Alex talks about wanting to send flowers or text her but he decided to just come over. Alex hopes that her mom gets better soon. Stephanie thanks him. Alex then says he understands now that she’s not in to him and she never was and she’s found somebody else that she is in to. Alex declares that he will accept that and let them get back to what they were doing. Alex then exits the house.

Johnny questions Wendy trying to hack in to the DiMera e-mail server and says he used to work there so he recognizes the interface. Wendy responds that she works at DiMera too and is head of I.T. in Fairbanks. Johnny questions what she did to get banished there. Wendy talks about getting better grades than Li but the Shins couldn’t have the baby sister showing up the first born son. Wendy declares that she’s not going to take it anymore. Johnny asks if that’s what this is all about. Wendy doesn’t want to ruin Li’s life and is just looking for something to use to get what she wants which is being transferred to DiMera Headquarters in Salem. Wendy says her family is all about transactions. Johnny gets it but warns that the DiMera Office here is a snake pit and everyone who works there is a two faced liar with a new CEO every week. Wendy wants a chance to show what she can do. Wendy admits she has issues with Li but she still loves him and she’s actually a little worried about him. Johnny mentions overhearing her saying that she thought Li was hiding something. Wendy asks if he’s close with Stefan. Johnny admits that he just met him this morning because he’d been dead for four years. Wendy brings up Li being engaged to Stefan’s ex-wife. Wendy asks if it’s true that Stefan lost all interest in Gabi. Johnny confirms that Stefan told him that he didn’t love Gabi anymore. Wendy calls that a serious 180 and asks if he knows what happened there. Johnny says he has some ideas. Wendy says she does too and suggests they share them.

EJ argues that Li has no control over Stefan. Li asks who he thinks had him kept on ice for the past four years. EJ says it was Kristen but Li reveals that he’s wrong and that Kristen only stumbled upon Stefan when Jake died. Li explains that Kristen and Dr. Rolf brought Jake to Dr. Rolf’s lab to try to revive him and it didn’t work, but Stefan did get a new heart out of it. Li reveals that it was him, not Kristen, who continued to fund Dr. Rolf’s research until he was out of prison. Li then announces that Stefan came back to life on his orders, but only after he got Dr. Rolf to turn him against Gabi. EJ realizes that Dr. Rolf did brainwash Stefan then. Li confirms that he had it done and warns that he can have it undone.

Stefan tells Gabi that he was thinking about the time she had his heart ripped from his chest and gave it to Julie, claiming he felt flustered by a wave of a nausea as he realized what a snake she is. Stefan says he begins to feel ill every time he’s near her. Gabi wants him to admit his feelings for her. Gabi argues that their love is stronger than whatever Dr. Rolf did to him. Stefan shouts that Dr. Rolf brought him back to life. Gabi complains that they had amazing memories but now he has no emotional connection to them. Gabi questions why he doesn’t want to feel that love. Gabi asks Stefan to tell her where Dr. Rolf is and then she will make this right and make him whole again.

Paulina tells Chanel that she’s so sorry as she worked so hard to put this behind her. Paulina says it never occurred to her that running for Governor would lead to this being dug up but she should’ve known. Chanel insists it’s not her fault. Chanel feels terrible that this could ruin Paulina’s campaign. Paulina assures that Chanel means more to her and that is why she is going to drop out of the race.

Stephanie thanks Chad for the assist with Alex. Chad asks if Alex is always angry and irrational like that at work. Stephanie agrees he was angry but not irrational. Chad complains about Alex just assuming they almost slept together. Stephanie points out that they almost did. Chad feels that doesn’t give Alex the right to come over and start demanding answers about her personal life. Stephanie notes that Alex acknowledged that. Chad thinks Alex should just accept that Stephanie doesn’t have feelings for him. Stephanie feels guilty about Alex not knowing the whole truth. Chad tells her not to feel guilty unless she does have feelings for Alex.

Johnny tells Wendy his theory that Dr. Rolf may have brainwashed Stefan in to hating Gabi. Johnny says if anyone could do it, it’s him, but asks why. Wendy notes that Li could have put him up to it as he has a major motive. Johnny brings up that EJ has motive too since his chances of becoming CEO of DiMera would be over if Stefan got back with Gabi.

EJ points out that if Li unbrainwashes Stefan, he would lose Gabi. Li responds that Gabi wasn’t part of the plan and that he only kept Stefan around because he thought he could use him to gain power at DiMera, but he didn’t plan on falling for his widow along the way. Li says he’ll cut Gabi loose and end it. EJ points out that they are engaged. Li calls the company his life and admits he is willing to dump the woman he loves to retain his position. EJ doesn’t believe him. Li dares him to try him.

Stefan asks Gabi why he would tell her where Dr. Rolf is and says this has nothing to do with her. Gabi argues that it does and insists Dr. Rolf did something to him. Gabi says she is refusing to let him go because she knows he still loves her and that he can’t deny that feeling. Gabi says it will just get stronger until he cannot deny it any longer. Stefan reminds her that she is engaged to another man. Gabi accuses him of changing the subject because he’s afraid and she’s right that she’s still in his heart. Gabi points out that his heart is pounding and he can’t deny that.

Chanel tells Paulina that she can’t quit the race because it won’t help since they already have the information. Paulina refuses to pay the people off. Chanel offers to do it since the Bakery had a record quarter. Paulina won’t let her use her hard earned income to pay these people off, warning that they will just come back asking for more. Paulina declares that what Sloan is doing to them is illegal so they are going to shut her down before anyone finds out Chanel’s secret. Chanel questions how. Paulina informs her that Stephanie is on it as they speak. Paulina calls Stephanie smart and talented and she understands that confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Paulina adds that Chad signed an NDA because Stephanie hired him and he knows about neutralizing a threat. Paulina assures that Stephanie and Chad are all over this as they speak.

Stephanie tells Chad that they need to figure out this Paulina Price situation. Chad points out that she dodged him asking her about Alex. Stephanie doesn’t want to waste any more time on him. Stephanie worries that Sloan is going to call any minute and they need to have a strategy in place before she does. Sloan then shows up at the door. Stephanie thought they would schedule a meeting. Sloan shows their settlement offer and argues that her client deserves retribution and they’d like this go away as quickly and painlessly as possible without destroying Paulina’s campaign. Stephanie tells her that she will need some time to get the funds together and will call her when she’s ready. Sloan says that she’s making the right call and they will talk soon as she then walks away.

Wendy asks Johnny if he thinks EJ and Li could be working together. Johnny calls it possible since they both want the same thing. Johnny assures that he won’t say anything to EJ. Wendy asks if they don’t get along. Johnny calls EJ a condescending jerk who treats him like dirt, so if he’s trying to screw over Stefan, he wants to do something about it but he doesn’t know what yet as he has to figure out what’s going on first. Johnny then asks Wendy how she’d feel about teaming up together to find out the truth.

EJ and Li return the office with Stefan’s vote proxies. EJ says they will be back for the big vote. Li says they will be ready. Gabi asks if they came to an understanding. Li responds that they did.

Chad questions why Stephanie told Sloan that they would get the money together. Stephanie says she was just stalling for time since they didn’t have a plan. Stephanie worries that this is Paulina’s child and her future, so they can’t screw this up. Chad assures that they won’t. Stephanie wishes she was so sure.

Chanel cries that this did not have to happen if she had been more careful and made sure it stayed buried. Paulina assures that it was buried but someone dug it up to get rich and she will deal with that someone. Chanel feels she shouldn’t have to. Paulina feels she failed Lani but she won’t fail her. Paulina declares that she will never let down her children again as she hugs her.

Gabi asks Li what happened with EJ. Li responds that they came to a compromise of sorts but unfortunately, he still has the votes and there’s nothing they can do about that. Gabi asks if they are both out then. Li says no as he spoke to his father and he won’t allow his son to be fired. Gabi guesses he won’t protect her. Li says if there was any other way, he would never have agreed, but this way he can still be on the inside, fighting for her. Li calls it just a temporary setback and before they know it, they will both be back on top. Li hopes she understands that. Gabi is disappointed and devastated, feeling like she lost everything. Gabi cries that she just has Li’s love and loyalty. Gabi hugs Li and says she doesn’t know what she would do without him.

EJ and Stefan return home to the DiMera Mansion. Stefan pours bourbon and toasts to them as the two new CEOs of DiMera Enterprises and declares they did it. EJ responds that he’s afraid there’s been a slight change of plan because Li went running to his dad, who refused to go along with the plan to oust his son. EJ adds that Wei Shin also has some concerns about Stefan’s ability to run a company after being comatose for four years. EJ says they both know that he’s not impaired and that he just needs to see his abilities are in tact before putting him in charge. EJ states that Gabi will still be gone, he will be elected CEO, and Li will be remain on as his number two. Stefan questions if he’s left out in the cold then. EJ assures he will be given a high level executive position. Stefan questions EJ and Li running things. EJ responds that it’s the only deal that the board would approve but assures that it’s only temporary as he will find a way to get rid of Li and then he and Stefan will be on top together. EJ toasts to Stefan as his future co-CEO.

Wendy questions Johnny wanting her to team up with him when she doesn’t even know him. Johnny says he doesn’t know her either but he knows she’s smart and highly motivated. Wendy asks what if Johnny and EJ work things out and decide to stab her in the back. Johnny assures that won’t happen and that he could say the same about her but they both want the same thing. Johnny says two smart and highly motivated heads are better than one. Wendy then agrees to team up with Johnny.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mama, what is going on? You look super serious.

I think you need to have a seat.

Did you just call me a hypocrite? I called you the biggest hypocrite I’ve ever met because I have to follow all the rules or else, and yet you can do whatever the hell you want. Ask. Chill out for a second. Seriously. Alex, what are you talking about? You said you would only continue working for Titan if I respected all of your boundaries.

You called it sexual harassment. If I were to do as much to ask you out for aroyo. So I had been trying to keep it strictly professional and only business, and showing up to your employees house on invited fire, enough crazy accusations that doesn’t cross any boundaries, and sleeping with the new guy who just hired is.

Or is that not a violation of your precious rules? Or do you just make an exception for somebody named Chad Damara?

Can I help you? I was just about to knock. I must be psychic. Look, if you’re here to, uh, sell a cable package, we’re not really, I’m not selling. I’m looking for stuff in Damara.

Look into my eyes. Okay. Sometimes after we, we were just looking to each other’s eyes please. Where is it gone? Where? Where is that gone?

I should have admitted it before now, but my pride, my ego wouldn’t let me do it. And I’m done with all that now. Now, if we never get outta here, I’m not leaving anything unfinished. That’s why I’m laying it all out on the line. I care for you. Get me Hernandez and S and I’m done and pretending I don’t,

what’s wrong,

like Sands through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Um, Hello. I didn’t invite you into my house. Sue late. Who the hell are you and what do you want? I told you I need to see Stephan. Amira, My uncle’s not here. Do you know where I can find him? I know where I can find our head of security, and I’m gonna call him unless you answer my question. Who the hell are you?

I’m Wendy Shin. Who the hell are you?

What’s wrong is this conniving little bitch stole my job and I want it back. Even if the shareholders vote your way, you’re insane. If you think your brother will let you run this company, my brother and I are gonna run the company together as co CEOs. Although that arrangement didn’t work out for me and Chad, I know he’ll be overjoyed that the family is back in control of Damir at long miles.

And our first order of business will be two. Clean house. Take out the trash, if you will. You’re making a big mistake. Holy, you should know why now the Amirs of horror, nothing more than disloyalty all trades. Masco

Demy. Don’t worry, I’ll do everything in my power to help you. Unfortunately, Lee, you can’t help her since we’ll be getting rid of you.

So how did you come to the conclusion that Chad and I are sleeping together? Because I’m not an idiot, because I was at Julie’s place last night and I saw you two canoodling over a bottle of champagne. Oh, that’s an Olympic sport. Me thinking of canoeing from the moment to Titan hired you. You have been lecturing me, Stephanie.

You’ve been having my brother lecturing me about understanding what constitutes sexual harassment in the workplace and that there is a, a, a, a line that just cannot be crossed. Meanwhile, meanwhile, what? Meanwhile you. Stephanie, get down off of your fake moral high horse and just be honest with me. It is clear what happened between you and your new employee last night, and now here you are, the morning after I said you weren’t an idiot.

Okay, I’m sitting down now. Will you please tell me why I’m here? It’s about my campaign. Oh no mama. If you need more vote for Paulina cookies. We can’t right now. The bakery is swapped. It’s not about the cookies. Chanel. It’s about this.

My father’s chairman of the board. You can’t o. Oh, but I can, I’ll be back shortly with Stephan’s voting proxy. I’d suggest you contact the shareholders and let them know we’ll be calling a meeting Posthaste. Of course. It’s really a formality since we already know the outcome.

If there’s anything you need in that desk, now would be the time to take it. It’s still there. I know it is. I cannot wait until you are gone so I don’t have to listen to this God perak and travel anymore.

Now, clean out your desk, Gabby. Don’t do anything. I’m gonna go find EJ and put a stop to this like ej. There’s nothing you can do to stop it. We’ll see about that.

Wendy Shin, as in Leashing, he’s my older brother. Hey, wait a second. I, I think I heard about you yet. I heard you kick some serious ass at the, uh, Damara. Go in Hong Kong. That was you, right? Yeah. It was impressive. So what do you need to see Ste about? Well, that would be none of your business. Johnny Damara.

Do you know when your uncle might be home? Johnny Damara. Well, he just left, so it’ll probably be a while. Well, I don’t have time to stick around, but uh, I’ll be back.

Can’t wait.

What the hell are you laughing? You obviously know I hired Chad. I’ve been using this place as an office. Kayla’s in the hospital. Steve’s been with her 24 7 when Stephanie’s not with her parents. She’s been here working except when she’s out getting wasted with you. Okay. For your information, Chad went home last night and then he showed up here for work this morning.

Since you’re spying on us, maybe you realized that we’re wearing different clothes than we were at Julie’s place,

so you didn’t. Sleep together. No, we didn’t. Maybe you can go now. We have a lot of work to do. Right. Okay. For the record, Stephanie’s not a hypocrite, but you and my friend had been a complete jackass gas.

Where did this come from? Some sleazy lawyer named Sloan Peterson brought it to me last night on behalf of her mystery client. Well, what did they want? Hush money. They’re blackmailing you. How is that possible? How do they even know about this? I don’t know what happened so long ago. I, I was sure that it would never come out.

This was all my fault. Your campaign could be ruined because its stupid mistake I made in college. Chanel, Please forget the campaign. That is the last thing that is on my mind right now. Oh, I care about is protecting you. What?

It won’t. I’ll make sure of that. Trust me, she know everything is under control. And what makes you say that?

Hmm? You must be Chanel SLU Peterson. That’s okay. , I feel like we already met after all. I know so much about you. Don’t you talk to my daughter? Don’t you even look at her? I presume you brought her up to speed. Oh, on What a sleazy, bottom feeder you want. Yes, she knows. So have we come to any decisions here?

Well, you gave me 24 hours. It hasn’t been that long. My clients are getting antsy. Okay. I need to know how you plan to proceed with the settlement. Settlement of you, right? That’s what we’re calling blackmail these days. Apparently this is what you do for a living. You represent clients who wanna make bank by extorting people.

They, and they’re too afraid to show their faces. You really are scum. Chanel, no mama, she can’t do this. Your mother knows is a very simple solution here, but the clock is ticking. I’m in real estate and you know, over the years I have dealt with countless people, waste slimier than you trying to shake me.

They failed every day on one of them, so get this straight. Ms. Peterson, you don’t scare me. Your daughter seems pretty scared. Chanel has nothing to fear. My public relations firm is handling the situation. This is a PR matter. No, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. One with a very unpleasant discovery process and oh, what there is to discover.

You’re disgusted. You’re just saying it like it is. Sweetheart, if I were you, I would tell my mother to deal with me directly. Ms. Johnson is trained in how to handle delicate situations such as this one. Hey, but if you prefer, you know, I can handle you myself. Roughly. Is that a threat? Oh, honey, that’s a promise.

Now, excuse me, I need to get back to my campaign. Lord knows I have more important things to deal with in the likes of you. I am by far the most important thing that you have to deal with. And if you haven’t discovered that by. You soon will, Honey,

maybe I jumped to conclusions. You think I’m surprised, dude? Okay. I didn’t plan on coming over here and expect to see you. Why are you coming over here at all? Anyway, the point is that she has all these workplace rules that I am sincerely trying to abide by, but. It is impossible. It’s really not. Okay.

Then tell me how your date with Chad went. It wasn’t a date we were celebrating his first day on the job. Fine. Then tell me how celebrating your new employee’s first day on the job is no problem at all. But if I want to ask out my employee to a lunch to discuss business, it is completely offensive and highly inappropriate.

All right. Let me mansplain this for you then. See what happened between Stephanie and me was consensual. There you go. There it is. Thank you, Chad. He admits it. There is something between you.

Okay. Big brother. Hacking into your personal laptop didn’t get me anywhere, so I’ll just access your work email from the damara server. Just type your password and two step verification. No way locked out. Dude, I’ve been lecturing you forever about having another layer of security and you do it now. Oh, damnit late.

What are you trying so hard to hide? Rough day at the virtual office. Huh? You again?

What are you doing? I need to speak with you privately. There’s nothing to discuss. Once Stephan gets you shares back, we’re gonna vote Gabby out, and once we’re back in charge, you’ll be fired and removed from the board. Now I won’t be, Excuse me, if you try to get rid of me, I’ll make your brother flip on you so fast.

Your head will spin.

I’ll take this. I like this one. I know you got it for me. Remember?

What, what just happened? No, I I saw it the same thing that happened earlier when I told you to look into my eyes when I said triggered a memory. My God, will you please stop? No, no, no, no, no, no step. I am not the only one. Everybody in this room saw it. You. You got rattled. And it’s because the feelings that you had for me that you still have for me, were trying to rise at the surface.

Okay. Look, it’s just us. It’s just the two of us. Do it again. Look into my eyes and this time just tell me the truth. You were thinking about us, weren’t you?

Yes.

Yes, I was.

You do realize that I could go straight to the press with this information. You good? But you won’t. Why? Because you know damn well if you do, it’s over. Your clients will never get what they want from me. Mama, this isn’t your problem. It’s mine. Oh no. I’m pretty sure it’s her problem too. Chanel, you keep my daughter’s name out your freaking mouth.

What are you gonna do? Slap me, mama. Let me handle this. Let me handle this, baby. I thought you wanted Stephanie Johnson to handle this. That’s right. I do. It’s called delegating Now. You want results? Take it up with her. Fine. But if I don’t get the results that I. I’ll be back. We’ll see about that now. You know what?

You just need to get the hell outta my office.

Oh, mama, I’m so sorry. No, no, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. Sweet, babe. This be so sweet, baby. Bigger. Come here. I got you. God, you, I got you. So you two didn’t have, There is something going on between you consensual. Yeah, I’m sure it is. Am I right? Yeah. She doesn’t owe you an explanation. No, she doesn’t owe me an explanation shed, Stephanie.

You can date whoever you want to be with, but please do not paint me into being a jackass because you’re doing exactly what you told me I couldn’t do. So instead of hiding behind this sexual harassment handbook, why don’t you just be honest with me? Tell me, you’re not attracted to me. She has repeatedly, and I believe that she can speak for herself.

I would prefer to just end this conversation.

Look Chad’s, right? You said you weren’t into me. I didn’t believe it. I thought you were hanging onto these rules. I also thought that maybe we would get to a point where you felt comfortable, whether that meant riding up the contract that Titan. Or me quitting my job cuz I would do that cuz I really think we could have had something special.

Anyways, I came over here to tell you that I am sorry about your mom, Stephanie Sonny told me she was sick and unfortunately it was too late for me because I already ran into you at the hospital and you were really upset and I acted like a jerk. No, I, I insisted I was fine. And not in a nice way. I still felt terrible and I was gonna send you flowers, but then son told me that was gonna be too romantic that I was gonna text you.

But I figured that was a little impersonal. So here I am and I really do hope that your mom gets better soon. Thanks. And honestly, I do understand you’re not into me. You never were, and you have found somebody else that you are. And I need to accept that, but I’m a big boy and I will let you two get back to whatever you were doing,

acting into the Damara email server. Course not. You know, I used to work there, so I recognize the interface. Well, I work at Damara too. Really? Never saw you around. Gonna keep me hidden. I’m head of it in Fairbank, , Alaska. What’d you do to get banished there? Got better test scores than Lee my whole life.

Better grades. So much. It was magna and all that, which should have put me in first position, but, The shins can’t have the baby sister showing up the first fourth son. So it was off to the tundra for me. That sucks. Fifth grade, I’m not gonna take it anymore. We rock on. So is that what, uh, is that what this is all about?

Hacking your email, unleash some digital revenge. I don’t wanna, bro, to his life, I’m just looking for something I can use to get what I want, which is, A transfer to Damara headquarters here in Salem. Okay. I know it sounds sketchy. This is how my family roles were all about transactions. No, I get it.

Believe me, it’s just the, uh, the damara office here is a snake pit. Really? Totally. I mean, everyone that works there is a two face liar. There’s a new CEO every other week. Trust me. It’s toxic. Yeah. Well, I want a chance to show what I can. Well, I do have issues with my brother. I still love him and I’m actually a little bit worried about him.

I might have overheard you saying you thought he was hiding something. Are you close with your Uncle Stephan? I actually just met him this morning. He’s kind of been dead for the last four years, so I’ve. I assume you know Lee’s engaged to his ex-wife. Yeah. Gabby Hernandez, the CEO of Damara Enterprises.

Yeah. Well my brother told me that Stephan lost all interest and Gabby is not true apparently. Yeah, when I talked to him this morning, um, told me he didn’t love her anymore. Sounds a pretty serious 180. Do you know what happened there? I have some ideas. So do I. So how about let we share?

What are you talking about? You have no control over Ste. Who do you think had kept on ice for the past four years? My sister wrong. Kristen only stumbled upon him after Jake died. Jake? She and Ralph brought Jake’s body to Ralph’s lab to try to revive him. It didn’t work. However, his twin brother did get a new heart out of him.

I see. But it was me, not Kristen, who continued to find Ralph’s research until he was released from prison. Stefan came back to life on my orders, but only after I got Ro. To turn him against Gabby. So Ralph did Brainwash. I had it done and I can have it undone.

You’re right. I was thinking about you. I was thinking about the time that you had my heart ripped from my chest and you gave it to Julie Williams. You’re liar. So if you’re wondering why I was feeling flustered, it’s because I felt this wave of nausea wash over me as I realized what a conniving snake you are.

Fact, every time I’m near you, I begin to feel physically ill, and every time you’re near me, you start to. Admit it. Why? Why won’t you just admit it? You know what? Soon you won’t even have a choice, because whatever RO did to you to make you hate me, the truth is stronger. Our love is stronger. Oh, please, Why can’t, Why do you even know?

Let Wolf do this to you? It’s taken so much from you. Ro brought me back to life. But that’s your life. What does that even mean? We have shared some amazing, wonderful memories together, and since you have been back, you have no emotional connection to them. Why? Why don’t you wanna feel that? The love, you know where Ralph is, please.

You know where he is. Just tell me where he is and I will fix it. I will, I will make this right and I, I’ll figure out how to make you hold again.

I’m so sorry baby. It worked so hard to put this behind you. What are you sorry for? It never occurred to me. Running for a governor can mean they dug this up. My past, my scholarships, yes, but yours ooh, politics and nasty business. I should have known. This isn’t your fault. I told Stephanie, she knew all my secrets.

This isn’t your secret, mama. It’s mine. I feel so terrible that this could ruin in your campaign. I know how much this means to you. Sweet child. You mean infinitely more? You mean everything. And that is why I am going to drop out of this.

Thanks for the assist with Alex. You need my help. Is he always like that at work? Like what? Angry, irrational. He was definitely angry, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that he was being irrational. But he saw us together last night and then again this morning he just assumes we slept together. We almost did.

because Sure. But that doesn’t give him the right to come over here and start demanding answers to by a, about your personal life. And he acknowledged that. Okay. Look, I just think that if you don’t have feelings for him, he should accept that. So hopefully he does, and that’s the end of it. I just feel guilty for him not knowing the whole truth.

Don’t feel guilty, but unless you do have feelings for him.

So you think this Dr. Roth guy might have brainwashed Stephan into hating Gabby. If anyone can do it, it’s him. But the question is why my brother could have put him up. He does have a pretty major motive to keep s Stephan and Gabby apart. So does my dad. Why would he care if Stephan gets back together with Gabby?

My dad’s chances of becoming CEO at the mirror are over. If you un brainwashed Stephan, you’ll lose cash. Abby was not part of the plan. I only kept your brother around because I thought I could use him to gain power at d. But you didn’t plan on falling for his widow along the way. Kar loose. I’m sorry, Gabby, I’ll end it.

She’s your fiance and this company is my life. So you are willing to dump the woman you love to retain your position here, correct?

I don’t believe you. Try me

really. You think I’m going to tell you where Ralph is? Why would I do that? So we can get answers? No, no, no. Gabby, there is no we, This has nothing to do with you. This has everything to do with me and what you feel when we’re together. I have already told you how. No, I know. I’m disgusted. We’re Pauls. Yes, We get it.

I. But that’s because Wolf did something to you. I don’t know. Maybe he put a micro chip in your head and maybe he shot you off. It’s a magic potion. But you know what? I am not letting this go. I’m not letting you go because I know the truth. The truth is that you still love me. And no matter how much time goes by, you can’t deny that feeling and it’s just gonna get stronger and stronger until you cannot deny any longer.

Gabby, have you forgotten that you are engaged to another man? You changed the subject because you’re afraid I’m right.

I’m

It’s you deny that.

Mama, you can’t quit the race. Why not? Well, first off, I won’t let you. Besides it won’t help. They already have the information. What they want now is the cash. I’m not giving them a damn does. Okay, well then let me Sweet bits had a record quarter. Absolutely not. You are not going to use your hard earned income to pay some creep.

And if we paid this once, they’ll just keep coming back asking for more. Chanel. What this lawyer is doing to us is illegal now we just going to shut her down before anyone ever finds out your secret. S J P R is on a comprehensive strategy as we speak. And you trust her. This Stephanie? Mm-hmm. . I do. She’s smart, she’s talented, and she understands that confidentiality is of the utmost importance and.

Chad Damara signed an nda. Chad Damara. Mm-hmm. . Stephanie hired him. , my man. He knows a thing or two about neutralizing a threat. Don’t worry, baby. I’m sure the two of them, they’re all over this. As we speak, we need to figure out this p a price situ. It’s a nice dodge. What do you mean? I just asked you about Alex.

Okay. Can we not waste any more time on him? Sloan Peterson’s gonna call any minute and we need to have a strategy in place before she does, if that’s Alex again.

Ms. Johnson, SLU Peterson. I was expecting a call on a home visit. I’m a fan of the personal touch. And you are Chad Jamira. I am. Chad’s my new associate. Yes. I know we spoke on the phone, so should we get into it? We were supposed to schedule a meeting. I thought I’d expedite the process. So this is our settlement offer.

I’m sure you’ll agree that the figure is more than reasonable. My client deserves retribution, of course, but we’d like to make this go away as quickly and quietly as possible without destroying this prices campaign. We’re big fans, right? We’ll need some time to get the funds together. I will reach out once I have everything in order.

You’re making the right call talks in.

Do you think my brother and your father could be working together? I don’t know. It’s possible, right? They both want the same thing. Johnny, please don’t say anything about us. So my dad, No, don’t worry. I won. What do you do not get along? Uh, let’s just say he’s a condescending control freak who treats me and everyone I care about.

Like they’re, so, if he’s trying to screw over my Uncle Stephan, I wanna do something about it. Like what? I don’t know yet. First I gotta figure out what’s going on. Yeah, I’d like to know that myself. So, Wendy Shin, how would you feel about teaming up together to find out the truth?

Good news, brother. I have your process. We’ll be back for the big vote. We’ll be ready. Did you two come to an understanding? Yes, we did.

Why’d you tell Sloan that we’d get the money together? I thought Pauline had no intention of caving. She doesn’t, and she. I was just stalling for time because we still don’t have a plan. We, we’ll come up with one. This is Pauline’s child, her future, her freedom. We can’t mess this up. We won’t. I wish I was so sure.

This did not have to happen if I had been more careful. Made sure this stayed buried. Oh no, it was. It was buried. But after all these years, someone dug it up to get rich and. I’m gonna deal with that summer. Yeah. But I wish you didn’t have to. No. Your poor sister, she, she paid the price for my mistakes. I won’t fail you.

But you didn’t. Uhuh Never again. Never again. Chanel. Never will I ever let down my children again.

What happened with ej? We came to a compromise of sorts. Unfortunately, he still has the votes. Nothing we can do about that. So we’re both out. No, I spoke with my father. He won’t allow his son to be fired.

Right? But he won’t protect me. C, if there were any other way, I’d never have agreed. This way, I’m still on the inside where I can keep fighting for you. For us,

this is just a temporary setback. Before you know it, we’ll both be back on top. I hope you understand it. Disappointed. I devastated, actually. I feel like I’ve lost everything.

I have, I, I have you, I have your love, your loyalty. What I would do without you, Lee,

uh, it’s a bit early for Bourn. It’s a big day. To the two new CEOs at Damara Enterprises. You did it, Brother Stephan. I’m afraid there’s been a Slack changer plan. No thought it was all ironed out, as did I, but Lee went running to his daddy. Who refused to go along with the plan to ask his son, I’m afraid.

Way also has some concerns about you, specifically your ability to run a company after you’ve been Como for years. Damn him. Of course, you and I are both know that you are not impaired. He just needs to see that your cognitive abilities are hack before he put you in charge. Mm. So what’s the bottom line here?

Gabby is still gone. Thank God. I will be elected CEO and Lee will stay on as my number two and I’ll be left on the court. No, not at all. You’ll be given a high level executive position, but you and Lee will be running things. The only deal the board would approve, but I assure you it is only temporary. I will find another way to get rid of Lee, and soon enough, you and I will be on top together

to my future co ceo.

You want me to team up with? I don’t even know you. No, I don’t know you either. But I know that you are a smart, highly motivated individual like myself. Don’t wanna look like a guy you can trust. Not really. Come on. Look, maybe you and your dad are getting along right now. What if you two work things out and then decide to stab me in the bag?

That is not gonna happen. And I can say the same thing about you and your brother. Look Wendy, we both want the same. And two smarts. Highly motivated heads are better than one.

Okay. Okay. Let’s do this. Right.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Alex has a dream about being in bed with Stephanie and then Chad appearing in the bed as well. Alex then wakes up in bed with Allie and Chanel.

Stephanie is at home on the phone with Steve, telling him that she got an emergency message from Paulina, so she’s heading to see her now and will be at the hospital after. Stephanie takes two pills from her purse and then checks the mirror, noting that she doesn’t look too hungover. Stephanie then goes to leave as Chad arrives at the door.

Li calls Dr. Rolf, leaving a message questioning where he is and why he’s not answering his calls. Li warns that Gabi is looking for him and is already suspicious that he did something to Stefan to make him hate her. Li adds that Dr. Rolf better be in his lab when he gets there and declares that he’s not about to lose Gabi to that bastard. Li hangs up and goes to leave his room but opens the door and is surprised to see his sister,  Jing-Wen aka Wendy Shin, has arrived.

Johnny storms in to the living room of the DiMera Mansion to confront EJ but finds Stefan instead. Stefan says EJ told him that Johnny moved back in last night. Johnny responds that they’ll see how long that lasts. Johnny adds that he was glad to hear Stefan’s not dead. Johnny asks if EJ is around as he really needs to talk to him. Stefan informs Johnny that EJ left about 20 minutes ago.

Gabi finishes a phone call outside of her office, threatening to find a new head of security if he doesn’t find Dr. Rolf by noon. Gabi then heads in to the office to find EJ sitting at the desk.

Allie and Chanel wake up in bed with Alex. Allie notes that it was quite a night. Alex says part of him feels like he’s still dreaming and jokes with them that his dream came true.

Stefan tells Johnny that EJ told him what Ava did. Johnny calls it a mistake and says EJ is making a federal case about it. Stefan is not surprised that EJ is furious. Johnny argues that EJ is delighted because he found a way to get even more money and that EJ would’ve done exactly what Ava did. Stefan argues that EJ is trying to get back something that was stolen from this family. Stefan declares that this isn’t about money but about making sure Gabi gets kicked to the curb. Johnny reminds Stefan that Gabi is his wife. Stefan says not for long. Johnny brings up how everybody said how happy they were together and how crazy he was about her. Stefan responds that he’s not crazy about her now and that Gabi is about to get exactly what’s coming to her. Johnny calls that intense and asks what exactly Dr. Rolf did to him.

Gabi tells EJ to get out as she has work to do. Gabi threatens to call security as he has no right to be there. EJ remarks that one of them doesn’t have the right and they both know who that is.

Li questions Wendy showing up at his door with no heads up and asks what it’s about this time. Wendy reminds him that it’s about the promise that was made to her about her dream job, so she questions where it is.

Chad apologizes to Stephanie for not calling before showing up. Stephanie says it’s okay and he just surprised her. Chad says he just wanted to come over before work to talk so she invites him in. Chad says he would like to apologize for last night. Stephanie assures there is no need as they both had a lot to drink and are paying the price this morning. Stephanie says last night, reality had beaten them both up so the second bottle of champagne was a mistake and so was the nightcap. Stephanie adds that before they did something stupid, Chad did the thinking for both of them and she thanks him for that. Chad tells her that he really enjoyed working with her and talking to her, so he really doesn’t want to screw that up. Stephanie suggests they forget what happened after leaving Julie’s Place. Stephanie brings up the message that she got from Paulina, sounding like an asteroid is going to hit Salem. Chad offers to come with her. Stephanie agrees, noting that she could use all the help she can get as they then exit together.

Chanel and Allie relate to Alex dreaming about a threesome. Alex then gets out of bed and goes to take a shower. Allie feels there is something going on with him. Chanel responds that Alex is in love with them. Allie doesn’t believe that but Chanel thinks last night freaked him out because they are so hot that he fell in love with them. Allie argues that Alex doesn’t even know them that well and hasn’t known them long enough to be in love with them. Chanel feels he knows them enough and says she saw it in his eyes, so she knows she’s right and that there is love in the air.

Stefan tells Johnny that Dr. Rolf didn’t do anything to him and that you can’t make someone hate someone. Stefan can’t wrap his head around why he ever loved Gabi. Johnny is sure he’s not the only one that finds that weird. Stefan confirms plenty of people have chimed in and it’s getting old. Johnny says that everyone is saying one thing while Stefan is saying the opposite. Stefan doesn’t get why people are surprised since he and Gabi started out hating each other, so maybe he just convinced himself there was more to it than there was. Johnny brings up Dr. Rolf again but Stefan insists this has nothing to do with Dr. Rolf. Stefan questions what Dr. Rolf would have to gain by making him hate Gabi. Johnny calls that an interesting question but notes that it wouldn’t be the first time a DiMera has hired Dr. Rolf to do something that can’t be done. Stefan points out that Stefano is dead. Johnny argues that EJ inherited Stefano’s playbook. Johnny goes over how if Stefan was with Gabi, she’d have an iron grip on DiMera but if he sides with EJ then she doesn’t stand a chance.

Gabi reminds EJ that he doesn’t have the votes and they are at a tie which means she remains in place. EJ asks Gabi if she’s happened to notice that Ava hasn’t shown up for work. EJ says that Ava and Jake’s marriage was a fraud. Gabi disagrees, saying they loved each other. EJ calls that irrelevant because the marriage was a legal fraud, the kind that puts people behind bars.

Stephanie and Chad meet Paulina in her office. Paulina questions what Chad is doing there. Stephanie says her voicemail sounded serious so she thought she’d want the whole team on whatever this is. Paulina confirms it’s serious and sensitive. Chad reminds Paulina that she recommended Stephanie hire him and he thought that was because she trusted him. Chad agrees that they should’ve called and offers to wait outside. Stephanie suggests Chad sign a non-disclosure agreement because she could use his help. Paulina apologizes for not being at her best this morning and says that she does trust Chad as she needs to trust someone. Stephanie asks Paulina to tell them what the problem is. Paulina says not until Chad signs.

Li tells Wendy this is not a great time and asks if it can wait. Wendy points out that it only took her 10 hours to get there so she can wait a little longer for what’s coming to her. Li complains that she wants things handed to her on a silver platter. Wendy argues that their dad promised she’d be out of the grunt I.T. job in Fairbanks. Li argues that he promoted her but Wendy complains about it being in Fairbanks. Li says that their dad is the one who wants her there while Wendy argues that Li is the one who could do something about it and get their dad to listen. Li reminds her that this isn’t a good time. Wendy asks if she’s driving him crazy and declares that she’s going to keep doing so until he gets her the dream job in Salem, the center of all things DiMera. Li argues that it isn’t that simple while Wendy points out that he’s engaged to the CEO. Wendy then asks if he screwed that up too.

Gabi tells EJ that Ava has a valid marriage license, signed, sealed, and delivered. EJ tells her to keep digging that hole for herself. EJ informs Gabi that knowingly filing a forged marriage license is fraud which means that every subsequent business transaction predicated on that license would be fraudulent. EJ adds that if Ava knew that Jake’s signature was forged, her taking a seat on the DiMera Board as Mrs. Jake DiMera would be a fraud as would voting his shares and if anyone else knew the license was fraudulent, that person would be a partner in that fraud and equally culpable. EJ declares that all of that would be criminal which means that every business meeting, corporate filing, and pay check cashed since August 13 would be fraudulent and that would all be public record of criminal activity. EJ jokes that it was fun to say all that. Gabi responds that it will be fun to watch him get thrown out. EJ says she can go ahead and make that call but informs her that he has the marriage license and the forensics reports that say Jake’s signature had been forged. EJ reveals that Ava caved and sold Gabi down the river and then said it was all Gabi’s idea. Gabi mocks Ava accusing her and says she would pin something she did on someone else. EJ says the trial would be interesting but his first priority is getting Gabi the hell out of his office. EJ tells Gabi that now that Ava is no longer entitled to Jake’s shares, they default to his closest relative which is Vivian Alamain. Gabi argues that Vivian can’t vote because she’s incarcerated. EJ confirms that means Vivian has a right to assign a proxy for her vote and he has someone at the prison getting that signed, sealed, and delivered. EJ asks Gabi if she can guess which of her ex-lovers will get the nod. EJ adds that the change of ownership of Jake’s shares is being prepared. EJ tells Gabi that she’s out of moves and this is checkmate. EJ asks if she has any idea how much Stefan is going to enjoy being the deciding factor that gives her the boot. EJ then tells Gabi to have a great day as he exits the office.

Li tells Wendy that he and Gabi are fine and questions what she is talking about. Wendy responds that the walls here are thin and reveals that before he answered the door, she heard him on the phone having a meltdown about Stefan DiMera, Gabi’s not so late husband. Li argues that Stefan is totally uninterested in Gabi. Wendy asks why he was panicking then. Li shouts back that he wasn’t panicking so she asks if she hit a nerve as Li then gets a phone call from Gabi, who says she needs him. Li asks what’s wrong. Gabi says she can’t tell him over the phone and she just needs him to get there. Li says he’s on his way and hangs up. Wendy tells Li that she will come with him and they can talk about the job in the car. Li argues that he kept his promise and he’s sorry that she’s not satisfied, but she never is. Li then storms out. Wendy wonders why he’s so freaked out about Stefan DiMera. Wendy opens up Li’s laptop and decides to see what she can do.

Stefan questions Johnny thinking that EJ paid Dr. Rolf to brainwash him about Gabi. Stefan tells him that there’s a hole in his scenario because EJ would have had to have been working with Dr. Rolf long before he was alive, but EJ didn’t know he was alive until Gabi told him. Johnny argues that EJ is the most accomplished liar on two continents and Stefan bought it. Stefan doesn’t know what went on between Johnny and Ava but it sounds like he’s having a hard time accepting what she did, so now he’s taking whatever he can find to see what sticks. Stefan adds that if he loved Gabi, he would know.

Alex comes out of the shower. Chanel asks if he’s still in a mad rush to get out of here since he got out of the bed like it was on fire. Alex admits it was a bit awkward. Chanel thinks Alex seemed a bit overwhelmed as if he was under the grip of a powerful emotion. Allie adds that Alex seems in a rush to get out of here. Alex apologizes if that’s the way it seemed and assures them that he had an amazing time and they are both awesome. Chanel says they know why he feels like he needs to get out. Chanel reminds Alex that what happened last night was just about sex, nothing more, and a one time thing. Alex questions where this is coming from. Allie explains that Chanel thinks there might be something more. Alex assures that he’s in to them both but that’s not something any of them need to worry about. Alex then decides it’s time to come clean and explains that he didn’t try to rush out because he couldn’t deal with some feelings, but because he had a dream. Alex then reveals that the dream wasn’t about them, but about Chad DiMera which surprises and confuses them.

Chad signs the non-disclosure agreement for Paulina. Stephanie then asks Paulina what they are dealing with. Paulina calls it something that can undo her entire campaign, but that’s not what has her upset which is why she had to have Chad sign the NDA. Paulina reveals it’s about her daughter, Chanel. Stephanie questions what Chanel has to do with her campaign. Paulina explains that last night, she got a visit from the lawyer, Sloan Peterson. Chad recognizes that she represented Leo Stark when he was accused of murdering Abigail, so there’s nothing she wouldn’t stoop to. Paulina informs them that Sloan has another client and delivered an ultimatum from whoever it is as they know something about Chanel. Stephanie asks what it is, so Paulina hands her the file folder.

Alex explains to Allie and Chanel that the dream was actually about Stephanie and her being with Chad. Chanel jokingly asks if he dreamed about having a threesome with them. Alex clarifies that he dreamed that Chad had the capability of taking Stephanie away from him. Chanel points out that he doesn’t have Stephanie while Allie adds that he doesn’t know that Chad has her either. Alex assures this was a dream and why he’s all mixed up. Chanel and Allie joke about him dreaming about Chad while in bed with them. Alex tells them that he had an amazing time with them and he cares about them both a lot. Alex calls them amazing. Chanel doesn’t think anything could change that. Alex says he has to get going, but he doesn’t know which one of them to kiss goodbye first, so they both kiss him on the cheek.

Li goes to the DiMera Office where Gabi complains to him about what happened with EJ. Gabi admits that she doesn’t know of any more moves. Li asks if she’s sure he’s not bluffing. Gabi doesn’t think so since Ava didn’t come in and her phone must be off and EJ says he has the marriage license with proof that it’s forged. Gabi talks about EJ laughing at the idea of Stefan casting the deciding vote against her. Gabi cries that Li is the only one in her corner and the only one she can trust as she hugs him.

Johnny advises Stefan to think about it and tells him that he can’t just believe everything EJ says. EJ then comes home and says he sees they have finally met. Stefan responds that they were just getting to know each other. Johnny says he was telling Stefan to watch his back when EJ is around. EJ understands he’s still angry about Ava but they can talk about that another time since he and Gabi are at an end game right now. EJ tells Johnny that soon, his financial future will be brighter so he could show some gratitude which he questions. EJ knows Johnny is upset about Ava’s duplicity. Johnny argues that he’s upset that EJ treated Ava like dirt. EJ says that in time, he will see he did what was the best for everyone. EJ calls Ava bad news and suggests that Johnny turn the page and find someone more age appropriate. EJ tells Stefan that his mother’s power of attorney is being transferred as they speak, so it should be waiting for them at company headquarters. EJ asks if Stefan would like to give Gabi a peek at her dismal future. Stefan responds that he’d love nothing more. EJ declares that it’s so great that Stefan is not dead anymore as they exit the mansion together.

Stephanie tells Paulina that she can see why she is concerned. Paulina complains that Sloan is just going between her and her blackmailer, going after her daughter. Chad adds that there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t keep asking for more. Paulina worries that they could still go public with this shortly before the election. Paulina questions what they do about this now that they know the situation.

Allie tells Chanel that they are good with Alex and asks if they are good. Chanel asks why she asked that. Allie points out that they just did something really crazy and it was basically her idea, so she’s asking if she asked too much. Chanel still can’t believe they did that. Chanel brings up Allie saying she thought it might make them closer and she thinks it worked. Chanel calls last night really hot but says just the two of them is hotter. Allie agrees as they kiss while Chanel’s phone rings nearby with a call from Paulina.

Alex returns home to the Kiriakis Mansion and sits down with his tablet, where he sees an article about Chad joining Stephanie’s PR firm.

Wendy hacks in to Li’s personal laptop but finds nothing of interest. She declares that she needs to find out why he’s so freaked out about Stefan DiMera. Wendy decides to get that information straight from the horse’s mouth.

Li tells Gabi that they need to slow down and think of a way to get EJ back in his cage. Gabi complains that EJ thinks he’s already won and is so enjoying using Stefan as his hatchet man. EJ then arrives with Stefan and tells Gabi that he brought her a surprise.

Chad goes back home with Stephanie. Chad talks about meeting with Sloan. Chad suggests letting him take care of this while she goes to visit her mother. Alex then shows up at the door. Stephanie questions what he’s doing there. Alex responds that he’s here to tell her that she is the biggest hypocrite he’s ever met.

Chanel goes to see Paulina and says she got her message and she sounded terrible, so she asks if everything is okay.

Johnny complains that EJ is full of himself and comments on EJ telling him to find someone more age appropriate. Johnny then goes to leave the mansion right as Wendy Shin arrives.

Li warns EJ to watch it. EJ says he told Gabi that he would come back with ammunition .EJ presents Vivian’s power of attorney that will grant her proxy shares to Stefan. EJ advises Gabi not to wait for the vote to start looking for another job. EJ jokes that Stefan could give her a recommendation since he knows her better than anyone else. Stefan remarks that he wishes he didn’t and wishes he never laid eyes on her. Gabi questions why he’s being so mean to her. Gabi argues that they were in love so there must be some part of him that remembers that. Gabi asks Stefan to look in to her eyes, insisting there must be something in there. Stefan then has a flashback to admitting his feelings for Gabi.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Yes it is. I just sleep. Let’s just say I earned my rest. Mm-hmm. Can I just tell you how glad I am that you changed your mind about me? That we no longer just keep it business between us and what can I say? You’re irresistible. Irresistible. I do have to tell you something. I, um, I saw you with Chad last night.

Really? Yeah. And I don’t know, I just thought that maybe somehow. You are into him. He says, I’m not.

That was some night, huh?

Yeah, I go to 9 1 1 Message from Pauline Price. I’m heading over to her office right now. Tell mom I’ll be there by 10. I will tell her I love her.

My.

At least I don’t look too hungover.

Dammit, Ro, why are you not returning my calls? Gabby has the mayor of security looking for you. She’s already suspicious that you did something to Stephanie to make him hate her. You better be in your lab when I get there. Not about to lose her to that bastar.

Okay, Dad, I’ve been thinking about this and first of all, uncle Step

Johnny, your dad told me you moved in last night. We’ll see how long it lasts. Uh, I was glad to hear the sheriff not dead, you know? Huh? Me too. So, so my dad around, I really need to talk to him. No, I’m sorry. You missed him left about 20 minutes ago. Okay. What? What do you think? You don’t know what? Okay, look, let me put it to you this way.

If you don’t find roll by noon, I’m gonna find a new head of security. Okay?

Good morning, sunshine

like sands through the hour glass. So are the days of our lives.

Sleeping in our bed. Ah, I wonder if he thinks it’s just right. Well, good morning. You two are cold. Yeah, well it was quiet a night, right? And we didn’t get much sleep. Oh. You know, Part of me feels like I’m still dreaming. What’d you dream about Teresa? And lucky for me, my dream came true.

So your dad told me what Ava Vitality. . She made a mistake and he’s making a federal case out of it. Come on. Yeah. She faked a marriage so she could steal her dead boyfriend’s stock shares. I wonder. He is furious . He’s not furious. He’s delighted. He found a way to get his myths on even more money that he doesn’t need.

He doesn’t give a rats ass about right or wrong. He would’ve done exactly what a. In a heartbeat. He’s not trying to get his myths on more money. What he’s trying to do is get back something that was stolen from this family. This isn’t about money. This is about making sure that scheming swine, Gabby Hernandez gets kicked to the curb.

What? But you think Gabby Hernandez is a scheming. She’s your wife. Not for long, thank God. But everybody, the two of you, everybody said how happy you were together. How crazy you were about her. Well, I’m not crazy about her now. And you know what? She’s about to get exactly what’s coming to her. Okay. That’s intense.

What exactly did Dr. Roth do to you? Anyway?

All right. Get out of here. Okay. Unlike you, I have work to do. I’m just trying it on for size, squeeze a little needs to be replaced, like a lot of things around here. Okay. I’m calling security. You have no right to. Well, one of us doesn’t, and we both know who that is, don’t we?

Okay, so showing up on my doorstep without giving a heads up. What’s it about this time? Oh, it’s about a promise that was made to me about my dream job. So where is it?

I’m sorry. I should have called before I just coming over here. No, it’s okay. You just surprised me. That’s all. I’m sorry. I just, I wanted to, um, come over before work to, to. Sure. Come on in.

And, and by, by talk. I, uh, actually, I mean, I’d like to apologize for last night. There’s no need. We both had a lot to drink and I’m paying the price for that this morning. Yeah, me too. Um, but I, I, I wanted to talk about No, no, Chad, I know what you were talking about. Look, last. Reality, which I hate had beaten us both up real good.

We were trying to blot it out. So that second bottle of champagne, that was a mistake. Coming here for a nightcap. That was the second one. And then before we did something really stupid, you did the thinking for both of us, and I thank you for that yesterday. I really enjoyed working with you, and I really enjoyed talking to you and.

I really don’t wanna screw that up. Let’s agree that we simply can’t remember a thing that happened since we left Julie’s place. Very good. Uh, spin. You should do pr, , speaking of which, I was just on my way out. I got a message from Paulina last night. She didn’t go into details, but judging from the sound of her voice, it sounds like an asteroid is about to hit.

Salem Pauling of the dramatic, Hard to imagine. You want me to come with you? Yes. I think I could use all the help I could get

So tell us by your dream. Sounds a lot like the one I had. Yeah, me too. You look at the time, I had no idea it was getting that late. Excuse me. Oh God. Hey, would you go’s mind if I use your shower? I promise you I will not use all the hot water. No problem.

You know when he said, Look, at the time he was not wearing a watch, there’s something going on. You’re right. And I know what it is. He’s in love with us. What? What, ? No, No way. Okay. First of all, love is a human emotion, and I don’t think our p Alex has any of those. He didn’t until last night, and that’s what’s freaking him out.

We were so hot that he like totaled, fell in love with that car. Oh my God, Chan. No, what? Wait, we, we were not that hot. And also, you can’t just be hot to have somebody fall in love with you. Like he doesn’t even know us that well. He hasn’t even known us that long to be in love with us. Okay? First of all, we are that hot.

And second of all, he knows us enough. I saw it in his eyes last. And I saw it in his eyes just now, so I know that I’m right that there is love in the air.

Dr. Wolf didn’t do anything. You can’t make a person hate someone, so you hate Gabby. I certainly don’t love her, quite frankly. Can’t begin to wrap my head around why I did if I did.

Surely I’m, I’m not the only one who thinks that’s a pretty weird about face. Oh, no, no, no, no. Plenty of folks have chimed in about it, including Gabby. You know what kid? It’s getting old. Okay, so let me get this straight. Everybody’s saying one thing and you’re saying the opposite. Does, doesn’t that make you wonder why that is?

I don’t understand why everybody’s so surprised. You see, Gabby and I started out hating each other. Okay, so maybe I sat there and I convinced myself that there was more to this relationship than there actually. That sounds like a rationalization to me. You can’t rationalize feelings, but you can’t control them.

You ever seen the man cheer in candidate? Not that that’s one of Ralph’s favorite movies. This has nothing to do with Ralph.

For one thing,

what would Ralph have to gain by making me hate Gabby? Hmm. Hmm. Interesting question.

Wouldn’t be the first time a Damara has hired him to do something that can’t be done.

Mild man’s dead. Mild man inherited his playbook. Look, think about it. Okay? If you and Gabby are still together, she’s got an iron. Damara, but if you side with my dad against her, she doesn’t stand a chance.

Do I need to remind you that you don’t have the votes? We can only sit at a tie, which means I remain in place. Gabby, have you happened to notice that Jake’s widow hasn’t shown up for work this morning? Sorry, sorry, sorry. I. Entirely hasn’t shown up. Jake doesn’t have a widow. That marriage was a fraud.

That not true. They loved each other. That’s totally irrelevant. The marriage is a legal contract, is a fraud. The kind of fraud that puts people behind bars.

Oh, come in.

Good morning, Paulina. What’s he doing here? Hello to you too, Paulina. Your voicemail sounded pretty serious. I thought we’d want the whole team in on. Whatever it is, whatever this is, is serious and sensitive. Okay. Paul, Amy, you. You were the one that recommended Stephanie hire me. I thought that was because you trusted me, but you were right.

We should have called. So if you’d like, I’ll, I will wait outside unless maybe he signs a nondisclosure agreement. If it’s as serious as you say it is, I could use his help. I’m sorry. Sorry. Uh, you know, I’m not, I’m not at my best this morning. I do. I trust you. God knows I need to trust someone. Paulina, can you just tell us what the problem is?

Not until he signs on the dotted line.

This isn’t a great time, can’t it? Wait, sure. Yeah. Uh, from Fairbanks to your doorstep only took me 10 hours. Go to door. Six hours and last row, coach between two biker dudes with boundary issues. So yeah, I’d be more than happy to wait a little longer for what’s coming to me. What’s coming to you? You mean what you want handed to you on a silver platter?

Damningly Dad promised I get taken out of that Grunt it job in Fairbank. I gave you a promotion. You’re in charge of it. In Fair Banks? Yeah. There’s only so much moose a girl can eat. Take it up with dad. He’s the one who wants you there, but you’re the one who can do something. Okay. You have the equipment it takes to get that sexist, patriarchal dinosaur to listen.

I’m just the girl exiled to Fairbanks until I start producing male grandchildren. Look, I told you, this isn’t a good time. Oh, I’m sorry I’m driving. You crazy, aren’t I? In a word? Yes. Guess what? I’m going to keep driving you crazy until you get me my dream. In Salem, the center of all things Damara. It isn’t that simple.

Actually. It is. You’re engaged to the CEO for God’s sake.

If you screwed that up too,

I don’t mean to ring on your delusional parade, but Ava has a valid marriage license, signed, sealed, and delivered . Keep digging that whole for. About six feet deep would do it. You’re whistling in the dark. I’m sharpening my knives. Quick legal lesson. Knowingly filing a forged marriage license is fraud, which means that every subsequent business transaction predicated on that license would be, I think you know where I’m going with this.

Fraudulent to tell so. If the groom signature had been forged, and if Ms. Fatali knew that her taking a seat on the Deir board as Mrs. Jake Deir would be fraudulent, voting his shares would be fraudulent, and if anyone else knew that license was fraudulent. And proceeded to aid in Ms. Tali in her enterprise.

That person would be a partner. And that fraud and equally culpable and all of that would be criminal, which means the minutes of every business meeting since August 31, every corporate filing since August 31, every paycheck cashed and re dividend check cashed , hell, even a $2. Expense account submission would be fraudulent, and all of that would be a public record of criminal activity.

Ooh. It was fun to say all that. Oh, it’s gonna be fun to watch you get thrown out on your ass. Mm. Well go ahead and make that call. You’ll just be kicking the can down the road. Gabby. I have the marriage license and the forensic reports that state that Jake’s signature had been forged, and when I show them both to Ava last night, she caved and then.

Just like that. She sold you down the river and then she said it was all your idea.

Well, now I’m quaking. Ava Fatali is accusing me. Oh, who would question her veracity? Who would ever think she’d try to pin something she did on someone else? Maybe I should call my brother the police commissioner to the stand. He can testify to a sterling character . Well, the trial will be interesting, but that’s not my first priority.

No. Job number one is getting you the hell outta my office. A little earlier you were crowing about folks. Well, now since Ava Ty is no longer, longer entitled to Jake shares, they default to his closest living relative. Vivian ae. Oh, she can’t vote. She’s incarcerated. Good. You know your bylaws, which means you also must know that she has the right to assign a proxy for ho vote even as we speak.

I have an emissary. It states for getting that. Um, how did you put it before sign, sealed and delivered. I want to refu guess which one of your ex. Is going to get the, In the meantime, Ava’s shares now rest with corporate compliance, where the change of ownership is being prepared

rather moves Gabby. It’s check mate, I wonder if you have any idea how much Dhan is going to enjoy being the deciding back that gives you the.

Well, you said you were busy. I wanna keep You have a great day.

Gabby and I are fine. What are you talking about? Oh, for such awan place. Doorsy are pretty thick. Right before I knocked I heard you having a meltdown about Stephan Damara. Isn’t he Gabby’s late husband, or, Uh, It’s not so late anymore. Back from the dead and totally uninterested in Gabby. Oh, then why were you panicking?

I wasn’t panicking, and I didn’t just hit a nerve.

What? Hey, where are you? I need you. What’s wrong? Look, I can’t tell you over the phone. Just get down here. I’ll be right there. I’ve gotta go. Great. I’ll go with you and we can talk in the car about a job. Gene win. I kept my promise. I’m sorry that you’re not satisfied, but then again, you never are.

So why are you so freaked out about Stefan Damara?

Let’s see what the it crowd. Do.

So you think EJ paid Ralph to brainwash me about Gabby. You see there’s a hole in your scenario. EJ would’ve had to have been working with Ralph Long before I was revived, but EJ didn’t know I was. Until Gabby told him.

So the most accomplished liar on two continents acted surprised to see you when you bought it. Okay kid. Look, I don’t know what went on between you and Ava Vitality, but it sounds to me you’re having a hard time accepting, which she did. And so now you’re taking whatever you can find, throwing it against the wall, seeing what sticks.

If I loved Gabby, even if it was buried deep in my subconscious, believe me, I’d know

you still in a mad rush to get outta here. Oh, I’m sorry. Uh, just now you hopped out of the bed like it was on fire.

That was a bit awkward, wasn’t it? Uh, you just seemed a bit overwhelmed as if in the grips of a powerful emotion, and you just seem a little anxious to get outta here. Mm-hmm. . Well, ladies, I am truly sorry if that’s the way it seemed because I can assure you I had an amazing time and you’re both awesome, Alex.

It’s fine. Look, we know why you feel like you have to get out of. I mean, we don’t, Well, I do. Look, Alex, we said this last night, but maybe we should say it again. What happened last night? It was just about sex. It was nothing more than that one time thing. That’s it. And where is this coming from? We were talking and one of us, an emphasis on one of us, Oh.

Thinks that there might be something more. Something more. More as in what? Like, trust me, I’m into you both truly. But that’s not something any of us need to worry about. Told you.

All right. Time to come clean.

I didn’t try to rush outta here because I couldn’t find a way to deal with some feelings. I try to rush outta here because I had a dream, a dream about us. I was covering there a bit.

The dream wasn’t about you guys. I had a dream about Chad Damara.

All right, your, uh, standard nda. Welcome to Look it over. I’m sure it’s fine. And uh, sorry to be so hardnosed to No, no, no. Please don’t apologize. You being hard nose is one of the reasons I decided to vote for you before I signed on with Stephanie. Thank you. So what are we dealing with? Paulina? Something that can undo my entire campaign, but you may not believe this, but that’s not what has me upset.

That’s why I had to ask you to sign that nda. See, it’s about my daughter Chanel.

I’m sorry. I’m not sure I understand. What does Chanel have to do with your campaign? So, um, last night I had a visit from a lawyer named Sloan Peter. She makes EJ look like Atticus Finch. She represented Leo when he was accused to killing my wife. There is nothing she wouldn’t s do to that would be her.

Well, she has another client. She won’t tell me who it is, but she delivered an ultimatum from him, her, but whoever it is, they know something about Chanel like what?

This.

So the dream was actually about Stephanie? Yeah. Last night I had a dream that she was with Chad Damara. So you dreamt that you had a freeway with them? No. No, not at all. I had a dream that this guy had the capability of taking her away from me. But you don’t have her. Yeah. And you don’t know that Chad has her either, Unless of course it’s not that you’re jealous of him being with her, but of her being with him.

No, no, no, no, no. This was a dream. This was a dream. It was. Mixed up. I’m all mixed up. Yeah, it sure sounds like it. Dreaming about Chad when you’re in bed with us. . Yeah. No wonder you were overwhelmed, . Kidding. Uh mm-hmm. . Anyways, moving forward, I had an amazing time with you guys. I’m sorry if it seemed a little weird right there, but I care about you both a lot and an awesome time hanging out.

You’re amazing. Well, I don’t think anything can change that. Good. I do need to get going, but,

But what, for what? I don’t know which one of you guys to kiss goodbye first. Okay. Well let us handle that.

I,

He said, Check me. Check me. Okay. I, I don’t wanna believe it, but I don’t see any moves left. Are you sure he is not bluffing? I don’t think so. I mean, Ava didn’t come in her phone must be for something because I tried to leave her a voicemail and he says he has the marriage license and then proof that it’s for, and.

And what, No, he was laughing. He was laughing about the idea of, of Stephan casting, the deciding vote against me. Just, you know, you’re the only one in my corner. You’re the only one I could trust.

Uncle Stephan, you at least need to think about it. And trust me, you can’t just believe everything my dad says. Well, I see the two of you have finally met. Yeah, we were. Getting to know each other. I was telling him he should watch his back when you’re around, especially if there are any knives in the room.

You’re still angry about Ava, but we’ll have to talk about that later. Gabby and I are now in endgame. Good. Hmm. And as a result, very soon, your financial future is going to be considerably brighter, so perhaps a little gratitude, maybe an order Gratitude. Sadly, I expected that reaction. Look, I know you’re upset about Ava’s, um, duplicity.

I, I am upset that she treated her like dirt dad. But in time, you’ll see I did what was best for all, including you, but mostly you, Johnny, that Batali woman was bad news from the very beginning. Turn the page and next time, perhaps find someone more age appropriate. Ste, your mother’s power of attorney is being transferred as we speak.

If you leave now, it should be waiting for us, a company headquarters. What do you say? Do you feel like giving Gabby Hernandez is a peak of her dismal future? I’d love nothing more.

It’s just so great that you are not dead anymore. Me thinking the same thing.

Well, I can see why you’re concerned and why I had to ask for confidentiality. This Sloan person is just a go between for me and my black mailer piece of dirt going after my kid and I pay it. I would, even if you did, there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t keep asking for more and still release. What, two, three days before election?

Your basic November surprise. So now that we’ve established how this situation is, so God awful, what do we do about it? So we are all good with Alex at Are we good? Less? Uh, why do you ask that? No, we just did something like really crazy. Yeah. and. I don’t know. It was, it was basically my idea. So I guess what I’m asking is did I ask too much?

Uh, I still can’t believe we did that. Well, that doesn’t answer my question. Well, you said last night that you thought that it might make us closer. I think it worked. I think so too. And you know, last night was really hot, but you know what’s hotter? Just the two of us. Sometimes three is a crowd.

And I’m in

gun. I wonder you such a crap password. This is all personal junk. Leave it to lead. I used two separate laptops. Well, this one’s good for us. Just a bunch of pictures of him and Gabby. Don’t superhero cosplay.

What I need to figure out is why you so freaked out about Stephan Amira. I think I need to get that information straight from the horse’s mouth.

Okay. What we need to do is slow down and think we need to find a way to get EJ back in this cage. I keep telling you, he’s absolutely sure he’s. And he’s so enjoying using Stephan as his hatchet man. Look, Gabby, I brought you a surprise.

All right. Sloan’s gonna get back to me at one time to meet. Okay? In the meantime, you and I can start grasping at straws being such. Why don’t you let me take this one, Jen. This is not a minor issue. No, no, no, no, no. Just temporarily. I, I, You should go see your mother. I’ll get all the preliminaries in place.

I won’t make any decisions. You think that’s Sloan? I wouldn’t surprise me. She tries to take us by surprise. Keeps off balance. Well, screw her. She’s gonna find out who she’s dealing.

What are you doing here? I’m here to tell you that you are the biggest hypocrite I have ever met.

Mama I, I got your message. You sounded terrible. Is everything okay?

God, he’s full of himself. This is for the best. Which means it’s the best for him because he is the only person in the universe,

and then slipping into kindly father mode. Find yourself someone more age appropriate.

Oh. So this is what fear smells like. Just wash it. . I told you I would come back with ammunition. I just met the man I sent to see Vivian in the lobby as we arrived. This is her power of attorney and once I handed over to the fine folks at corporate compliance, her proxy shares that defaulted to her. Upon Jake’s death will be granted to staffer.

My advice. Don’t wait for the vote to start looking for another job. I hear buddies, burger bonds hiring. Oh, maybe you could give her a reference. You know her better than any of us. Wish I didn’t . Wish I never laid eyes on. Why? Why? I don’t understand. Why are you being so mean to me? I mean, do we, Were in love.

We, we loved each other. We did you, There must be some part of you that still remembers that. No. Okay. Just look. Look at my, please. Look in my eyes. Okay. Just look at me. Because right after we, we look at each other, we. There must be something in there. Where is it? Where is it gone? Where is it?

I should have admitted it before now, but my pride, my ego wouldn’t even do it to do it. But I’m done with all that now. Now, if we never get outta here, I here anything unfinished. That’s why I’m laying it all out on the line. Line. I care for you. You get me Hernandez, and I’m done pretending. Pretending I don’t.
