THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Jack, I heard you come racing in. What does the matter, uh, Julie tell me, uh, is, is Doug still taking painkillers for his shoulder? What well known, not since last year. Why I found these on the floor.

Oh, well I don’t understand this because we never refilled the prescription. I think Jennifer did. Doug’s fine now and

Oh no, go ahead and tell me that Jennifer is taking painkillers again. I didn’t wanna believe her, but I think she’s right.

I swear I’m gonna make him paid it. Anyone who ever hurt you, anyone who ever even thought about hurting you, I.

I promise you. I promise you. Just a sweet girl.

Sorry. They hurt my baby.

Yeah. He’ll be with Abigail soon. Now. Chad won’t take long now. Yeah.

Are you all right? Just tell that time a bitch is bad.

Like sand through the hour, so are of,

It’s too bad he’s still kicking.

Looks like the rolls of reverse. Now, hog chap, how does it feel to be the one bleeding out in the grass this time? That is what’s called poetic justice. I’m glad I could provide that for you. Go to hell you first. Oh wait. How does it feel? Clyde? Knowing you are only moments away from damnation and there is nothing that you can do about it.

Agonizing, isn’t it? Not for me. I’m gonna relish every single second of it. We both are. When I found Abigail, she was still clean to life alone in the bedroom, who almost have felt like an eternity. Terrified every breath would be her last. Tonight. You are gonna pay back every single painful second. You hear me, Clyde?

Except in Abigail’s final moments, she was with someone that she loved. Someone that loved her. You will not be so lucky.

Ah, voicemail damnit EJ

reports are gunfire. The cemetery is where Abigail’s buried. Stay here. No way. I’m coming with you. Don’t argue. I’m. Go. I just got back to the police station. I spoke to Shawnee’s. My God. Hey jd, I gotta call you back.

Can you hear me?

Cough help.

What was that? I’m sorry. You’re gonna have to speak up. You can’t let me die. Did you hear something ej? Huh? Not a thing. I thought I did guess now. Must have been the wind. Must have been beautiful night, wouldn’t you say? So peaceful and quiet out here among the dead.

She wasn’t upstairs. She’s not in the kitchen. She’s not in the den. She’s not here. Jack, she’s not answering your phone. Well, maybe she put it on silent. Well, listen. Have you noticed any kind of change in her behavior recently? Well, yes. She’s grieving deeply over the loss of her daughter. We all are. Yes.

She’s changed. Damn. I went to voicemail. Uh, look, I need to go back and find her. I’ll go with you. No, no. Clearly you stay right here. You stayed with Doug. She might come home. All right. Thank you so much for all your help. I will let you know when I find her. Jennifer, we’re so worried about you. Was trying to call you.

Oh, sorry, I, I didn’t hear my phone. Oh, I don’t know where it is. I need to sit down. Jennifer. You all right?

Jennifer? What happened? Where have you been

when you stay with me? How you stay? You’re gonna be all right. You’re gonna make it okay?

Yeah. This is Commissioner Hernandez. I’m outside the police station right now. I need an ambulance right away.

Wish she’d bloody Hurry up. Have a Liverpool game on the dvr. I am no rush at all. Oh my God, is he? He’s alive. He’s.

Yeah, this is Detective Brady. I’m the Salem Cemetery and I got a gun check wound victim. I need, uh, medical assistance asap.

What the hell happened here? EJ as your lawyer? No, ej As your lawyer, I have to advise you not to say a word. You heard our detective mum’s the word and same goes for my brother as well. I’m sure Bell will also be representing him. Mm-hmm. I don’t need a lawyer. I have nothing to hide.

You were supposed to stay home, you said you weren’t feeling well. I wasn’t. I. Supposed to, then I spoke to Aha. Jennifer, look at me. Okay. You know that’s not possible, right? Yes, of course. I meant, I, I imagine speaking to Abigail, I was, I have just so upset that we haven’t found her killer. So I decided to see what was happening with Clyde when she, the police finally decided that Clyde is, He may have killed, couldn’t here, Jack, Like, look good.

Am I doing Just, just waiting here. So I, I decided I would drive to the police station and I, I would see what was going on. You drove in this condition. I’m, I’m, I was fine. I, I’m okay. I just started feeling a little dizzy, so I turned around and I came back. Thank, Thank God. Thank God you should have known Jack.

Please tell me did they catch him? Yes,

He murdered our daughter, Chuck. Tell me he has to answer for that. He will. The police are handling it. Jennifer, there’s something that we need to handle right now. God, what? What is it?

This.

Oh, uh, okay. Remember what I said about it being a quiet night. Looks like I spoke too soon. What’s going on? Um, two ambulances just pulled in downstairs, so it looks like my break is officially. Okay, Doctor, get out your hair. I’ll see you back home, man. Yeah.

Oh, Michael Gwen. Once I spoke to Nancy about the vanilla after shave, I realized that, that the person who stabbed son and killed my wife wasn’t Craig. It was quiet and, and I was even more convinced after Ray told me Clyde’s Allen by fell. And so you decided to take matters into your own hands? Yeah, I did.

Oh, well, I got the gun for my family safe. I intercepted Clyde at the city hall and then I took him to the cemetery to Abby’s grave, and that made him from Fess Crimes Crimes, and he did it, Sean. He did it. He killed my wife. Why? Why do I just send a message to ej? Sort of, except Abby was in his original target.

She was in the wrong place at the wrong time. So when Clyde broke into our house, he didn’t intend to kill my wife. It was after yours. What?

I don’t understand and why would Clyde want to kill Bell? Several weeks before Abby died, Clyde plan to bug at Mansion. Mansion. It must been the night he came over claiming he wanted to go into business with. From that moment on, he was keeping tabs on it. He wanted leverage to use against me to keep me quiet about how he was responsible for my shooting.

Then Clyde’s Worst fear was confirmed when he heard a conversation between you and Bell. He heard me confide in her. I still cannot believe how reckless you are. Are you put my wife in danger. What is how stupid? He didn’t like Clyde was listening. Okay, And I wanted to help. Clyde wanted to send a message.

He wanted to show how easily he could get to e. Or anyone around him. Bella was living with us at the time, so he came for her there. Oh my God. Except you weren’t there. No one was, except for Abby. She had, she found him in the hall. She started asking questions. She was brave. Um, stubborn, you know, No nonsense.

She just knew too much. I’m so sorry, Chad. I, I don’t know what to say. Okay. So you got cly to confess. So then what happened next? While I was upset, as you may have guessed, he caught me off guard, knocked the gun away starting strangling me. I, uh, I just kept thinking what he, what he had done to Abigail and I picked up the gun and ended it.

EJ had no choice. Lyde was gonna kill Chad. She’s right. If EJ having to showed up, I would be with Abby right now. Okay. I’ve heard enough for now. If I need to hang down the hospital, see if I can get some answers at. Assuming he’s still alive, may relieve. No, not yet. Need you to stay here. I just have some more questions for you.

Okay. Let me know what you find out. I love.

What’s that prescription? Painkillers, Killers. I found them here on the floor.

The label says they’re Dougs. Yes, but Doug stopped using them a year ago. Never refilled the prescription, but about a month ago, someone did. What are you saying, Julie? What are you accusing me of? Jennifer, you had an addiction to painkillers years ago. Jack. Years ago. Sweetheart, I’m not judging you. I am not.

I need you. I need you to talk to me. Jennifer, please tell me the truth.

Have you been abusing pills again?

I think I’m gonna be single.

Oh, hey. Um, why went to Gwen? I’m not sure I, uh, found her outside the police station. She was on the ground, uh, non-responsive and, um, there were tire tracks nearby. Well, someone hits her and just left. It looks like a hit and run. Yes, we would do something like that. Well, we’ll find them. Because of now we have no witnesses, so we don’t know much.

Pretty much told you everything. Oh, come wait. Just Jenna, just about to come. Poor guy mean after Abigail. I dunno what he’ll do if you lose another daughter. Should I go check on Jennifer? No. No. Just give her a minute. Okay. What do you think? I,

It’s Rafe Rafe. Hello? Did youre Clyde? No, no. Shawn has a lead, but right now we’re waiting for an. Oh, well thank you for keeping in the loop, but, uh, I’m in the middle of something right now, so if you could just jack that. That’s actually not why I’m calling. Oh, what’s wrong? Uh, I’ve got some bad news. Jack is about when.

Feeling better? Yes. Thank you. Where’s Jack? Uh, Jack had to go and he wanted me to take care of you. He had to go winter. RA called from the hospital. The hospital, Gwen was brought into the emergency room earlier this evening. Gwe. What happened? I have no idea. Jack got that call. Hung up. Ran outta here.

He must be so worried. I hope that she’s

Gwen, She’s stable. Um, she has some broken bones and possibly a concussion, but. No internal bleeding and there doesn’t seem to be any damage to any of her major organs. So for now, she doesn’t need surgery. She regained consciousness. Like may I ask her some questions? Uh, no. She won’t be giving any statements yet cuz we have her sedated.

Okay. Sarah Jack’s not here yet. Um, would you be off? I sat Mr. I know he wouldn’t want it to be alone. Yeah, of course. Cool.

Okay. Um, I’ll see if we can find, uh, trash and, and we need to make sure that your story’s first when she hears. Do you think Chad and I will be charged with anything? No. Not if I can help it. Before you go. I went to apologize for what Sean was right. I put you in danger. I never should have told you about Clyde

if Clyde, he was there for you. Bell and I, I’ll tell you what I told Sean, Okay. You had no way of knowing that Clyde was listening. How could you and yeah, I practically forced it outta you. You aren’t good at that. Bottom line is you have no reason to apologize. I just wish that we would’ve, you know, that we could have stopped Clyde before a

Yeah, me too.

Hey, I just got your message EJ talk. Lied. Yeah, and according to him, he was just trying to save Chad’s. Where’s Weston now? Tr room five. Booking doctors. They extract the bullet. Now he’s recovering. Gwen Gwen, where is she? Is she okay? She’s sedated. She’s in stable condition. I mean, she’s, she’s pretty banged up, but it looks like she’s gonna be okay.

Why? Why did you do it? Why did you kill my daughter?

Just the way you like it, cold and bitter. Thank you,

Chad.

Abigail,

It was my fault.

Ej, you don’t have to. No, don’t.

I knew ply was a threat to the family, and yet I kept it to myself. I should have put a thought to him. Immediately. Chad, I failed you. I failed Abigail, your kids. I failed the family and I never forgive myself. Chad, I am very sorry, but we’ve both made mistakes. And done things that we regret and there’s no point in keeping score.

Not now. That’s very generous of you. Before we clear the board, I have to thank you. Came to my rescue night, ej, and you saved my life.

Brother.

You welcome brother.

Well, now that that’s out of the way, um, I guess I can tell you. Tell me why tonight. I didn’t do that for you. What do you mean? I just wanted to shoot him.

I don’t know what you’ve been told Mr. Deborah, but I’ve never harmed a single. On your daughter’s prairie little head. I should have done You be mad enough to admit you did. You know, I do believe it’s in my best interest not to say another word until I have an attorney present. Just fine. It’s fine by me because I, I don’t need to say myself.

When you did was a speakable evil Abigail, when she was a mother to two beautiful children. She was a wife. She was a daughter. And you stall it all away. It will haunt me and the rest of my family for the rest of my life. And I want you. To be haunted too. Whenever you close your eyes, I want you to see her.

I wanna see what you did and I hope it kills you slowly and painfully. And in your last moments when you’re dying, you won’t begin to understand a fraction of the pain that you cost us. Not a fraction bravo there Jack as a hell of performance. But you know, I think you better off. What did you say?

Let me see. Oh yeah, I can see her man. She was beautiful.

She’s not Angel Jay. That little slut cheated on my boy. No.

Hey, Gwen, it’s, it’s, I dunno if you can hear me, but I just wanted you to know your father’s on his way and until then, I’m gonna keep you. If that’s okay with you,

and I also wanted you to know that you’re gonna be right. Sarah says you’re very lucky that you and I both know that look has nothing to do with it. It’s tough as hell. One of the toughest women I’ve ever. That’s why in no time you’re gonna be up and complaining about the groty food and grumpy.

Sandra. Hey there, Alice. What’s going on? What’s she doing here? Where is he? Ah, you’re in a bit of a scuffle. Yeah. But you fought, Bly, took down several men twice your size. You’re a, at University Hospital. You were a victim of a possible hit and run. Who’s,

Hey. Sorry to interrupt. She just regained consciousness. That’s great. Hey, Glen, think you’d be up to answering a few questions? Sure. Okay, thank you. Listen, I just want you to know that I’m gonna do everything in my power to find the person that did this to you.

I should go, Jack needs me. No, no, no. Jack needs you to rest, darling. Jack needs. To take care of yourself. I’m fine, Julie. I’m fine. No, sweetheart, you’re not, Jack wasn’t around the last time that you started using painkillers, but I was.

That’s the reason we moved back into the house, Doug and me. Do you remember that? Or was to take care of you? I remember and I am grateful, but that is not what’s happening here. Jennifer Rose, you’re not fooling anybody, especially not me. You’ve been struggling. How long has it been?

A few weeks. Why didn’t you talk to. I was ashamed. You have nothing to be ashamed of. We don’t judge you. We wanna help you.

Maggie tried to help. Maggie knew about these bills? Yeah,

she, she found them in my purse. Mm-hmm.

It was, It was my accident. The bottle wasn’t full. I hadn’t taken any. She watched me throw them out. Then she took me to a meeting. Then I came back and I got them out of the trash and they took one. Then I took another in another.

Until the ball was empty.

Listen to me, Jennifer, we all love you very much

and after everything you’ve been through, I don’t presume to imagine the pain that you have been going. But I do know in this life there is nothing more tragic than when a parent loses a child, especially so son, So senselessly.

I know you’re struggling, darling. You’ve been struggling just to get through the name.

But remember, Your life is important to your life, how you live it, that’s important to all of us, and it’s especially important, those precious grandchildren of yours because with their mother gone, You, my darling, are the most important woman in their lives. They need you now. They’re gonna need. For a long, long time,

we all are.

Would you please give me a hug?

Yeah. Hey, you sure you’re ready?

My head’s finally starting to clear,

Gwen. Thank God you’re alright baby. Thank you so much for coming. Of course. Tell, tell me what happened. Yeah, we were just getting to that. So when you remember anything about tonight, Um,

I, I was, I was walking to the car park at the station. This car came speeding towards me. Oh my God, My God. Yeah. It, it didn’t swerve. It just, it happened so fast. Do you think it was,

That’s possible. I suppose. Could you see the driver?

What do you say? You get some sleep. Oh yeah. Thank you. Yes. And Julie, I am so sorry that I worried you and God, I cannot believe that I went driving in that condition that it’s just, it’s not me. You know that. I do know that.

It’s all such a blur. Well, I’m just so glad that you’re back home safe and sound. You know, you’re very lucky that you didn’t hurt yourself or anyone else. Let’s go darling.

No, I, I didn’t see the driver. I was God, the headlights. They, they blinded me and

Daddy would do something like this and then just drive off and outside of a police station.

I’m just sitting here Jack. What good am I doing? Just, just waiting here. So I, I decided I would drive to the police station and I would see what was going on. You drove in this condition.

Chad told me that Abigail wasn’t your intended victim, that you were planning on killing my.

I do believe I have the ride to remain silent. Now you do. And I’m gonna read you your rights really soon, you know? But first I want you to know one thing. Can’t wait. I’m never gonna rest until you’re back in Statesville and this time. You’re never getting out.

Well, how did it Gorok? Uh, unfortunately she’s gone for the day, but I will speak to her on your behalf tomorrow morning. Have you talked to Sean? Yes. Um, Clyde is gonna live, That’s a disappointment, but he will be shipped after Statesville for the rest of. And you know the truth and hopefully that brings you a little peace of mind.

Oh, peace of mind.

Update written by Joseph

Jack goes home looking for Jennifer but just finds the empty pill bottle on the living room floor. Julie comes in, saying she heard Jack come racing in and asks what’s wrong. Jack asks her if Doug is still taking painkillers for his shoulder. Julie confirms he hasn’t since last year. Jack shows Julie the pill bottle that he found on the floor. Julie doesn’t understand because they never refilled the prescription. Jack reveals that he thinks Jennifer did. Jack informs Julie that Gwen told him that Jennifer is taking painkillers again and he didn’t want to believe her, but he thinks she’s right.

Jennifer goes driving while crying. Jennifer imagines Abigail in the seat next to her and declares she’s going to make Clyde pay. Jennifer swears that anyone who ever hurt Abigail will pay as she promises her justice.

Gwen exits the police station and sees an oncoming car coming towards her.

In the cemetery, Clyde then grabs Chad and they fight, losing the gun in the process. Clyde ends up pinning Chad down on the ground, saying he’ll be with Abigail now soon. Clyde chokes Chad until EJ arrives and shoots Clyde in the back. EJ asks if Chad is alright. Chad says he’s fine and asks if Clyde is dead. EJ stands over Clyde and says the roles are reversed now. EJ asks Clyde how it feels to be the one bleeding in the grass now and calls it poetic justice. Clyde tells him to go to Hell. Chad asks Clyde how it feels knowing he’s only moments away from damnation and there’s nothing he can do about it. Chad declares that he’s going to relish every single second of it. EJ says they both are. Chad recalls finding Abigail still clinging to life alone in the bedroom and now tonight, Clyde is going to pay back every single painful second. Chad adds that in Abigail’s final moments, she was with someone that loved her while Clyde will not be so lucky.

Belle tries calling EJ but it goes to voicemail. Shawn then gets a message that there’s reports of gunshots in the cemetery. Belle points out that’s where Abigail is buried. Shawn tells Belle to stay there but Belle tells him that she’s coming with him and not to argue, so they exit together.

Rafe goes to the police station finishing a call with Jada as he finds Gwen unconscious on the ground. Rafe checks on her and asks if she can hear him.

Clyde asks Chad to call for help and not to let him die. Chad and EJ mock him as if they didn’t hear anything. Clyde says “damn you both” as he then passes out.

Jack and Julie search the house but can’t find Jennifer. Jack tries calling Jennifer but she doesn’t answer. Jack asks if Julie’s noticed any change in Jennifer’s behavior recently. Julie understands Jennifer is grieving deeply over the loss of her daughter. Jack decides he needs to go find Jennifer and tells Julie to stay home with Doug in case Jennifer comes home. Jack thanks her and goes to leave, but then Jennifer comes home. Jack tells her that they were so worried about her and that she wasn’t answering her phone. Jennifer responds that she doesn’t know where her phone is and says she needs to sit down. Jack asks if she’s alright, what happened, and where she has been.

Rafe encourages Gwen to stay with him as he calls for an ambulance right away.

Shawn and Belle rush up to find EJ and Chad standing over Clyde. Shawn checks on Clyde and confirms he’s still alive. Shawn then calls in for medical assistance. Shawn asks what the hell happened here. Belle advises EJ as his lawyer to not say a word. EJ agrees and suggests Belle will also be representing Chad but Chad says he doesn’t need a lawyer as he has nothing to hide.

Jack reminds Jennifer that she was supposed to stay home as she said she wasn’t feeling well. Jennifer says she wasn’t but then she spoke to Abigail. Jack tells her that’s not possible. Jennifer admits she meant that she imagined speaking to Abigail. Jennifer cries that she’s just so upset that they haven’t found her killer, so she decided to see what was happening with Clyde. Julie questions what she’s talking about. Jack informs her that the police have finally decided that Clyde may have killed Abigail. Jennifer complains that she couldn’t just sit there and wait, so she decided to drive to the police station to see what’s going on. Jack questions her driving in this condition. Jennifer claims she’s fine but she started feeling dizzy so she turned around and came back. Jennifer asks Jack if they’ve caught Clyde for murdering their daughter because he has to answer for that. Jack assures that the police are handling that but there’s something they need to handle right now. Jennifer questions what it is. Jack then presents the pill bottle to her.

Xander and Sarah are at the hospital together when Sarah gets a message that two ambulances just pulled in downstairs. Xander says he’ll see her back home and then turns around as Rafe arrives with Gwen being stretchered in.

Chad sits with Shawn at the police station and gives his statement about how once he talked to Nancy about the vanilla aftershave, he realized it wasn’t Craig, but Clyde, who stabbed Sonny. Chad adds that he was even more convinced after Rafe told him that Clyde’s alibi fell apart. Shawn questions Chad taking matters in to his own hands. Chad confirms that he took the gun from the family safe, intercepted Clyde at the City Hall and took him to Abigail’s grave to make him confess his crimes. Chad reveals that Clyde admitted to it. Shawn questions why and if it was to send a message to EJ. Chad says sort of but Abigail was not his original target and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, so when Clyde broke in, he didn’t intend to kill his wife, as he was after Shawn’s. Belle and EJ then join them at the station right then. Shawn questions why Clyde would want to kill Belle. Chad explains that Clyde had planted a bug at the DiMera Mansion several weeks before. EJ guesses it was the night Clyde came over and claimed he wanted to go in to business with him. Chad says from that moment on, Clyde was keeping tabs on EJ. EJ knows Clyde wanted leverage. Chad adds that Clyde’s worst fear was confirmed when he heard EJ confiding in Belle. Shawn complains that he can’t believe how reckless EJ was for putting his wife in danger. Belle tells Shawn that they didn’t know Clyde was listening and she wanted to help. Chad continues that Clyde wanted to show how easy he could get to EJ and send a message but when he got there, Belle wasn’t home and no one was except Abigail. Chad talks about Abigail started questioning Clyde in the hall but she knew too much. Belle tells Chad that she’s so sorry. Shawn asks Chad what happened after he got Clyde to confess. Chad says he was upset and then Clyde caught him off guard and got the gun away. Chad says Clyde started strangling him and he just kept thinking about what happened to Abigail. EJ declares that he then picked up the gun and ended it. Belle states that EJ had no choice because Clyde was going to kill Chad. Chad agrees that if EJ hadn’t of shown up, he would be with Abigail right now. Shawn decides he’s heard enough for now and he needs to get to the hospital to see if he can get answers out of Clyde, assuming he’s still alive. EJ asks if they may leave but Shawn says no as he needs them to stay since he’ll have more questions for them. Belle tells Shawn to let her know what he finds out. Shawn hugs her and says he loves her. Shawn kisses her and says he’ll be back as he then exits the station.

Jennifer pretends not to know what the bottle of painkillers is and points out that the label says they are Doug’s. Julie says Doug stopped using them a year ago and never refilled the prescription but about a month ago, someone did. Jennifer questions what Julie is accusing her of. Jack brings up that Jennifer had an addiction to painkillers. Jennifer complains that was years ago. Jack says he’s not judging her and just needs her to talk to him. Jack asks her to tell him the truth as he questions if she’s been abusing pills again. Jennifer responds that she’s going to be sick and rushes out of the room.

Xander asks Rafe what happened to Gwen. Rafe responds that he’s not sure as he found her outside the police station, on the ground and not responsive. Rafe notes that there were tire tracks nearby so it looks like a hit and run. Xander questions who would do something like that. Rafe says they will find them but as of now, they have no witnesses so they don’t know much. Xander asks if Jack knows. Rafe responds that he’s just about to call him. Xander worries that he doesn’t know what Jack would do if he lost another daughter.

Julie asks if she should go check on Jennifer. Jack suggests giving her a minute. Julie asks what he thinks. Jack then gets a call from Rafe. Jack asks if he arrested Clyde. Rafe says no but Shawn has a lead and they are waiting for an update. Jack thanks Rafe for keeping him in the loop and says he’s in the middle of something. Rafe clarifies that wasn’t why he was calling as he has some bad news about Gwen. Jack rushes out and then Jennifer returns to the living room where Julie checks on her. Jennifer asks where Jack went. Julie informs her that Rafe called from the hospital as Gwen was brought in to the emergency room. Jennifer questions what happened. Julie says she doesn’t know as Jack rushed out after the call. Jennifer remarks that she hopes Gwen is alright.

Sarah comes out from the ER so Xander asks how Gwen is. Sarah informs him that she is stable but has some broken bones and a possible concussion but no internal bleeding or damage to major organs so she doesn’t need surgery for now. Rafe asks if she’s regained consciousness. Sarah says no as they have her sedated. Xander points out that Jack isn’t there yet so he asks if it would be alright if he sat with her. Sarah agrees and takes Xander to Gwen’s hospital room.

Belle tells EJ that she will see if she can find Melinda Trask to make sure his story is the first one she hears. EJ asks if she thinks he and Chad will be charged with anything. Belle says not if she can help it. EJ apologizes to Belle and says Shawn was right that he put her in danger and never should’ve told her about Clyde. Belle insists that he had no way of knowing that Clyde was listening and she practically forced it out of him. Belle states that EJ has no reason to apologize and she just wishes they could’ve stopped Clyde before he killed Abigail.

Shawn goes to the hospital and informs Rafe that EJ shot Clyde and says it was to save Chad’s life. Rafe asks where Clyde is now. Shawn responds that he’s in a hospital room where they extracted the bullet and he’s now recovering. Jack arrives, asking them where Gwen is and if she’s okay. Rafe informs him that she’s stable, sedated, and pretty banged up but it looks like she’s going to be okay. Jack is relieved and asks where she is. Rafe says Sarah and Xander are in with her now and that Sarah can give him the full rundown of her injuries and condition. Jack thanks him. Rafe stops him and says there’s one more thing, revealing that Shawn found Clyde. Shawn reveals to Jack that Clyde tried to kill Chad, so EJ shot him. Jack asks if the bastard is dead. Shawn says no as the doctors just finished patching him up. Jack questions what room Clyde is in. Rafe doesn’t think he should do that right now. Jack asks again. Shawn tells Jack to just go be with Gwen right now. Jack says they said Gwen is stable with Sarah and Xander, so he asks again what room Clyde is in. Shawn agrees to take Jack to Clyde’s hospital room. Clyde lays in the hospital bed, handcuffed to the bed. Jack confronts Clyde and questions why he killed his daughter.

EJ brings Chad a cup of coffee. Chad thanks him. EJ tells Chad that it was his fault. Chad says he doesn’t have to but EJ says he knew Clyde was a threat to the family and kept it to himself. EJ admits that he should’ve put a stop to Clyde sooner and immediately. EJ declares that he failed Chad, Abigail, their kids, and the family. EJ states that he can never forgive himself for that and tells Chad that he’s very sorry. Chad responds that they both made mistakes and did things they regret, so there’s no point in keeping score now. EJ calls that very generous of him. Chad thanks EJ for coming to his rescue tonight and saving his life. They acknowledge each other as brother and shake hands. EJ guesses now he can tell him that tonight, he didn’t do it for Chad and jokes that he just wanted to shoot Clyde which Chad laughs at.

Clyde claims he doesn’t know what Jack has been told but that he never harmed a single hair on his daughter’s head. Jack says he should’ve known that Clyde wouldn’t be man enough to admit what he did. Clyde says he won’t say another word without an attorney. Jack says that’s fine and tells Clyde that what he did was unspeakably evil. Jack talks about Abigail being a mother, wife, and daughter but Clyde stole it all away and that will haunt him and his family for the rest of their lives. Jack wants Clyde to be haunted too by what he did. Jack hopes it kills him slowly and then he will begin to understand a fraction of the pain he caused them. Clyde mocks him performing and remarks that he’s better off without Abigail. Clyde then tells Jack that Abigail was no angel and calls her a slut that cheated on his son. Jack calls him a son of a bitch as Shawn takes Jack out of the room.

Xander sits with Gwen and says he doesn’t know if she can hear him but her father is on his way and until then, he will keep her company. Xander tells Gwen that she will be alright and that Sarah says she’s very lucky. Xander encourages Gwen as being one of the toughest women he ever met, so he knows she’ll be up in no time. Gwen then wakes up and questions what’s going on and what he’s doing here. Xander jokes that she was in a scuffle but fought valiantly and took down several men. Sarah then informs Gwen that she’s in the hospital as a victim of a possible hit and run which she questions. Rafe then enters the room and says he’s sorry to interrupt. Sarah tells him that Gwen just regained consciousness which Rafe says is great. Rafe greets Gwen and asks if she’s up to answering a few questions. Gwen says sure. Rafe assures her that he’s going to do everything in his power to find the person who did this to her.

Jennifer tells Julie that she should go because Jack needs her but Julie insists that Jack needs her to take care of herself. Jennifer says she’s fine but Julie says she isn’t. Julie brings up that Jack wasn’t around the last time that Jennifer started using painkillers, but she was, and that’s the reason she and Doug moved back in to the house to take care of her. Jennifer remembers and says she’s grateful but that’s not what is happening here. Julie tells Jennifer that she’s not fooling anyone. Julie knows Jennifer has been struggling and asks how long it has been. Jennifer then admits it’s been a few weeks. Julie questions why she didn’t talk to her. Jennifer cries that she was ashamed. Julie says they don’t judge her and want to help her. Jennifer admits that Maggie tried to help as she knew about the pills after finding them in her purse by accident. Jennifer says that Maggie watched her throw the pills out and took her to a meeting, but then she came back and got them out of the trash and took them all until the bottle was empty. Julie tells Jennifer that they all love her very much and she can’t presume the pain she has been going through, but she knows there is nothing more tragic than a parent losing a child. Julie knows Jennifer has been struggling to get through the day, but reminds her that her life is important too. Julie adds that with Abigail gone, Jennifer is the most important woman in her grandchildren’s lives so they are going to need her for a long time. Julie then hugs Jennifer as she cries.

Rafe asks Gwen if she’s sure she is ready. Gwen says her head is finally starting to clear. Jack enters the room, relieved to see that Gwen is alright. Gwen thanks him for coming. Jack asks her what happened. Rafe says they were just getting to that and asks if Gwen remembers anything about tonight. Gwen recalls walking to the car park at the police station when a car came speeding towards her. Gwen says it didn’t swerve and happened so fast. Jack asks if she thinks it was deliberate. Gwen supposes it was possible. Rafe asks if she saw the driver.

Julie suggests Jennifer get some sleep. Jennifer apologizes for worrying her and Jack as she can’t believe she went driving in that condition which isn’t her. Jennifer calls it all such a blur. Julie is glad she’s back home, safe and sound. Julie remarks that Jennifer is very lucky that she didn’t hurt herself or anyone else. Julie then takes Jennifer upstairs.

Gwen says she didn’t see the driver as the headlights blinded her. Gwen questions who would do something like this and then just drive off, right outside of a police station. Jack flashes back to Jennifer saying she drove to the police station.

Shawn sits with Clyde and informs him that Chad told him that Abigail wasn’t Clyde’s intended victim and that he intended to kill his wife. Clyde responds that he has the right to remain silent. Shawn warns Clyde that he will never rest until Clyde is back in prison and this time, he’s never getting out.

Belle informs EJ and Chad that Melinda is gone for the day, but she will speak to her on their behalf tomorrow morning. Chad asks if she spoke to Shawn. Belle confirms that she has and that Clyde is going to live. EJ points out that Clyde will be shipped off to prison for the rest of his life. Belle hopes knowing the truth can give Chad some peace of mind. Chad responds that Abigail finally gets some justice which she would want, especially for her kids and all of them. EJ hugs Chad as he cries.

Jennifer wanted Abby to come back to her. Gwen went to see Leo at the station. She told him that Clyde set him up. He wanted to know why she showed up to tell him.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Jennifer stands at home, looking at a photo of Abigail, as she takes more painkillers. Jack comes home, so she hides the pills in her pocket. Jennifer greets Jack and says she didn’t expect him back so soon. Jack informs her that he decided to go to the police station instead of the Spectator office because he had to see Leo Stark to hear his denial in person. Jack knows how much they wanted it to be Leo, so this nightmare would be over, but he thinks Gwen is right as he doesn’t think Leo did it.

Leo remains in his holding cell until Gwen comes to visit. Leo complains that she said she was going to help him. Gwen informs Leo that he was wrong about Craig setting him up as she reveals it was Clyde Weston.

Nancy returns to the Kiriakis Mansion and sits with Bonnie. Bonnie apologizes as she knows what Justin said upset her. Nancy responds that it’s ok because Justin was right as Clyde never showed up for the wedding, but the police did with a warrant for his arrest. Nancy cries that Clyde stabbed Sonny, and even worse, they said he killed Abigail. Bonnie tells her she’s so sorry. Nancy doesn’t want to believe it and kept arguing that the Clyde she knows would never do such horrible things but she couldn’t change their minds. Nancy breaks down crying as Bonnie hugs her.

Chad screams at Clyde to tell him what he did to Abigail or else he has two seconds to live. Clyde continues that he went there looking for Belle to send a message to EJ and admits he was going to fix it where EJ would find Belle strangled to death, but he couldn’t find her anywhere and it seemed like he broke in for nothing, but then he ran in to Abigail, who questioned what the hell he was doing there.

Leo questions Clyde being the one who framed him. Gwen confirms that’s what the cops are saying. Leo says it makes sense since he did get Leo in trouble for sticking him with the jewelry that he stole from Abigail’s room. Leo brings up Clyde having an alibi and wonders if he’s doing this for Nancy. Leo explains that he stole Nancy’s husband, so Clyde framed him for stabbing Sonny when it’s because of him that Nancy was back on the market. Gwen then reveals that Clyde didn’t just stab Sonny but he also killed Abigail. Leo realizes Clyde is a monster and questions it being Clyde from the beginning. Gwen tells him that the police finally found the right man.

Jennifer complains about how many times they’ve been told that the police have someone only for it to turn out to be the wrong person. Jack says he just had a gut feeling about Leo and explains that Leo told him things that he didn’t tell the police like how he used a steak knife to open Abigail’s jewelry box and then left it behind which is where the killer must have found it. Jennifer questions why Leo would hold that back from the police. Jack says it would’ve put Leo in Abigail’s bedroom with the knife. Jennifer calls it too much. Jack then gets a call from Shawn at the police station. Jack says he just came from seeing Leo Stark and he doesn’t it’s him. Shawn reveals that they are way ahead of him and just put an APB out on Clyde Weston. Jack questions it not being Craig Wesley. Shawn informs Jack that Clyde’s alibi fell apart as the footage was faked. Shawn just wanted Jack and Jennifer to be the first to know that it’s Clyde, so now they just have to find him.

Chad questions what Clyde did after running in to Abigail. Clyde admits that he lied and claimed that he was there to discuss a business proposal with Chad after EJ turned him down but Abigail pointed out Clyde wearing gloves in the middle of June. Clyde complains that if only Abigail hadn’t started asking questions.

Jack informs Jennifer that Shawn said they are completely certain that it’s Clyde Weston. Jennifer argues that Clyde was cleared months ago. Jennifer cries that nobody is safe as long as Abigail’s killer is out there. Jack suggests they go to the police station together to make them tell them everything they can instead of waiting for the phone ring. Jennifer decides it’s okay and tells Jack to go ahead, claiming she’s not feeling well. Jack decides he’s not going anywhere then. Jennifer urges him to go ahead and do what he thinks is right. Jack refuses to go anywhere if she’s not feeling well. Jennifer points out that she won’t be alone since Doug and Julie are upstairs. Jennifer says she doesn’t exactly feel sick but this is just a lot to take in and she thinks it would make things worse to sit around the police station.

Leo goes over how Clyde must have showed up after he took the jewelry and then took off. Leo questions why and what Clyde had against Abigail anyway. Gwen asks why he cares when he’s going to be let out in a few hours. Leo questions why Gwen made a special trip to tell him all this information when he wouldn’t be in here if it wasn’t for her. Gwen responds that they are now even because not too long ago, she was behind the bars because he couldn’t shut his mouth. Leo questions if she’s still playing him and why he’s still in the cell if they are so sure it’s Clyde. Leo then imagines Clyde being on the run with Nancy.

Nancy tells Bonnie that Clyde didn’t even show up at City Hall. Bonnie guesses he knew the cops were after him. Nancy gets a call from Chloe but says she can’t answer right now so Bonnie answers. Bonnie assures Chloe that Nancy is with her and she will stay with her awhile, then Nancy will call when she’s feeling better. Chloe thanks her as Bonnie assures that Nancy is her friend and hangs up. Bonnie tells Nancy that Chloe is worried about her. Nancy complains that she’s a combination of desperate and stupid when all she wanted was someone to love her while all Clyde wanted was a warm bed and someone to vouch for him after being in prison.

Chad questions Clyde not wanting to be questioned after breaking in to a woman’s house. Chad complains that Clyde just didn’t like that Abigail was on to him. Clyde asks if he’s sure he wants to hear this. Chad asks if he wants to keep living and demands that he talk. Clyde continues his story and notes that Abigail went to call the police when he saw the knife on the table. Clyde says they could just stop here since the rest will be hard on Chad. Chad screams at him not to move and repeats that he wants to hear it all, so he screams for Clyde to talk.

EJ, Belle, and Shawn go to City Hall but find it empty. EJ wonders if the wedding was called off or even there. Belle sees the flowers and says Nancy was. Shawn states that Clyde was a no show. EJ guesses he must have figured the police were after him. Shawn suggests he could’ve dumped Nancy at the altar. Belle recalls Clyde being all dressed up like nothing was wrong. EJ asks if he’s been in touch with Ben. Shawn says he couldn’t reach him. Shawn says there’s no way Clyde could have seen this coming and it doesn’t make any sense. Belle tells EJ that they have to tell Shawn everything, the whole story. EJ claims not to know what she means but Shawn questions what whole story.

Leo tells Gwen that even if Clyde is on the run, the police should have caught him by now. Gwen points out that even Leo was able to evade the police until now. Gwen says she just came to tell him what she knows and now she’ll go worry about other things. Leo stops her and says he does believe her. Leo apologizes for telling the police that she did it. Gwen apologizes for telling them where to find him. Leo admits that he deserved it and asks if there’s anything he can do to make it up to her. Gwen suggest Leo can help her figure out what to do about her pill popping stepmother.

Jennifer talks to her picture of Abigail and cries about not having anyone to talk to now about how much she misses her. Jennifer then imagines Abigail appearing before her.

Clyde feels he’s just adding to Chad’s problems but says he’s the boss, so he continues telling his story. Clyde recalls seeing the knife on the table as a way out of the mess he was in. Clyde threatened Abigail that he wouldn’t let her ruin his life and argued with her about her past relationship with Ben. Clyde complained about EJ telling Belle that he had him shot, so he came to shut her up for good. Clyde brought up that he warned EJ that if he talked, he would come after his family.

Shawn questions Belle and EJ not telling him on the phone that Chad has a gun and went after Clyde. EJ argues that they don’t know for sure but Belle says that’s not what he said before. EJ claims he was mistaken. Shawn complains that he’s wasting his time. Belle knows EJ thinks he’s protecting Chad. Shawn decides he’s going to make a call and put an APB out on Chad. Shawn orders Belle to keep EJ there and out of his way as he exits the room. Belle apologizes to EJ but says Shawn needed to know.

Chad tells Clyde to tell him what he did to Abigail and after that, he’s done with him.

Jennifer asks if her vision of Abigail is an angel from Heaven or a ghost. Jennifer calls her the answer to her prayers as she will listen and understand the Hell she’s been living in since losing her.

Gwen tells Leo about how Jennifer threatened to unleash on her if she told Jack about her painkillers and that she’d ruin what’s left of her relationship with Jack. Gwen feels she’s really progressed in her relationship with Jack, so she doesn’t want to ruin that but feels he deserves to know what Jennifer is doing to herself. Leo argues that Gwen has lost her edge and reminds her to always look out for herself. Leo says Gwen telling Jack won’t do anything for her. Leo adds that Jennifer’s problem might work out for her since Chad would need someone to lean on. Leo tells Gwen that Jennifer’s pill problem is not her problem and they can drink to that.

Bonnie advises Nancy not to blame herself for being conned by an expert, pointing out that he fooled the cops too. Bonnie talks about spending her life not thinking she deserved what she has now. Bonnie assures Nancy that it does get better. Bonnie acknowledges learning a hard lesson and encourages Nancy to now believe in herself and not let Clyde or Craig take that away from her when they’ve already taken so much. Bonnie hugs Nancy as she cries.

Jack goes to the police station and finds Gwen. Jack says he came for an update but everyone is out on the search. Gwen confirms that she already knows about Clyde and she came to tell Leo. Jack guesses it’s just a waiting game now. Jack decides he should get back to Jennifer. Gwen questions him leaving her home alone. Jack points out that Doug and Julie are there and asks why. Gwen claims she’s just a bit jumpy with Clyde on the loose. Jack says he’s gotten to know when she’s not telling him the whole truth. Gwen admits that she’s not and there’s something he needs to know about Jennifer.

Jennifer tells her vision of Abigail how much she misses her every day and questions how to find closure. Jennifer talks about how she started taking painkillers again just to get through the day even though she doesn’t want to and promised that she would never touch them again, but she doesn’t know how else to go on living without Abigail. Jennifer cries that she just needs to understand why and asks if that’s why Abigail is here. It looks like the Abigail vision is about to talk but then she sees the bloody wound on her stomach.

Clyde asks if Chad can’t guess what happened next and if he really wants him to spell it out for him. Chad responds that he wants Clyde to spend the last few minutes of his rotten life, telling him what he did to his wife. Clyde tells Chad that he asked for it. Clyde then continues his story of how he fought with Abigail and stabbed her.

Shawn returns to EJ and Belle with the security camera footage from the City Hall. Shawn finds the footage of Chad grabbing Clyde outside and taking off with him. Belle tries to ask EJ if he has any idea where Chad would have taken Clyde, but EJ had already taken off. Shawn tells Belle to stay there as he goes after EJ.

Clyde finishes telling Chad about stabbing Abigail. Chad cries that he took their kids to a movie while Clyde was doing that to Abigail. Chad screams at Clyde, asking if he enjoyed it.

Jack questions how Gwen knows that Jennifer is taking prescription drugs. Gwen explains that she went back to the house because she forgot her purse and Jennifer had the bottle. Gwen says when she saw the first three letters of the generic label, she knew instantly what they were. Jack questions if she’s sure of what she saw. Gwen reminds Jack that she was blackmailed in to delivering the same things last summer so she’s sure. Jack argues that Gwen can’t be right. Jack acknowledges that Jennifer had a problem before but she’s stronger now. Gwen asks if she’s strong enough to deal with the brutal murder of her own daughter. Jack repeats that Gwen can’t be right. Gwen reveals that she told Jennifer that she knew and then she threatened to turn Jack against her if she said anything. Gwen tells Jack that he has to help Jennifer. Jack then rushes out of the police station.

Jennifer tries to hug her vision of Abigail but she disappears. Jennifer cries for Abigail to come back.

Chad goes over that Clyde stabbed his wife, left her for dead, and sent a message to EJ. Chad then questions what Sonny ever did to him and why Clyde went after his best friend too. Clyde explains that it had nothing to do with Chad and he wasn’t planning on it, but he read in the paper that Leo said Gwen killed Abigail but he knew that wouldn’t hold up and somebody had to pay for the crime, so he figured who better than Leo. Clyde adds that Nancy told him about Leo’s hit list so he knew he just had to get a hold of that list. Clyde reveals he took it right out of Leo’s bag when he wasn’t looking and Abigail was on it, so he knew he just had to take out someone else on the list and it would look like Leo was taking them out one by one. Clyde points out that it couldn’t have been Chloe or Brady because of Nancy which left Chad and Sonny, so he guesses Chad lucked out. Clyde explains that he started to trail Leo, who led him right to Sonny’s office. Clyde says he used the same knife he used on Abigail and then all he had to do was set the scene. Clyde asks if that’s enough detail for Chad. Chad declares that he’ll be satisfied when Clyde is dead. Clyde notes that Chad keeps saying that, but he hasn’t pulled the trigger yet.

Nancy thanks Bonnie for trying to make her feel better, but she doesn’t know how she will ever come back from this 1-2 punch as she won’t be able to walk in a room without people pointing or whispering about her. Bonnie jokes that if she lived like that, she’d have to live where no one knows her name. Bonnie adds that she gets judged in this house but not by Justin which makes it all worth it. Bonnie encourages that Nancy will have that too. Bonnie asks Nancy to promise not to stop trying to be happy and believing in love.

Jack goes home looking for Jennifer but just finds the empty pill bottle on the living room floor.

Jennifer goes driving while crying. Jennifer imagines Abigail in the seat next to her and declares she’s going to make Clyde pay. Jennifer swears that anyone who ever hurt Abigail will pay as she promises her justice.

Gwen exits the police station and sees an oncoming car coming towards her.

Shawn returns to Belle and complains that there’s no sign of EJ as if he disappeared. Belle guesses EJ thinks he knows where Chad is. Shawn remarks that he’s got a murderer on the loose and two DiMera brothers with revenge on their brains.

Clyde laughs that Chad doesn’t have the guts. Chad yells at him to shut up. Clyde dares him to shoot an unarmed man in cold blood. Clyde then grabs Chad and they fight, losing the gun in the process. Clyde ends up pinning Chad down on the ground, saying he’ll be with Abigail now soon. Clyde chokes Chad until EJ arrives and shoots Clyde in the back.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, I, I, I didn’t expect you back so soon.

I, uh, decided to go to the police station instead of the spectator office. Oh, why? I had to see Leah Stark. I had to, Here’s denial in person. And I know how much he wanted it to be him. I wanted it to be him too, just so that this nightmare would begin to be over. But I think Gwe is right. I don’t think he did it.

I’ve got the Salom prison blue

and it ain’t gold. Base for

good. God. Thought someone was torturing a cat. Rub salt in the open wound. Did you come here to gloat? Yes. After you said you were gonna help me, No, I’m here to tell you that you were wrong about Craig Wesley setting you up. You said you believed me. I did. It was Clyde Weston, right? It’s him. Matt Clyde Weston.

Nancy’s new boyfriend. It. Sit, sit, sit. Really want some tea? Have her a stick drink. Oh God. Nancy, I’m sorry. I know what Justin said upset you. It’s okay, buddy. Justin was right. What? What are you talking about? I never showed up for the wedding, but the police did. They had a warrant for his arrest. He’s the one that stabs son.

And what’s worse? So much worse. Oh, honey, go on. Go on honey. They said that. Take your time, buddy. They said that he killed Aga. Oh God. Oh my God. I suspected, but I didn’t wanna believe it. I’m so sorry. I’m trying so hard not to believe it now, but I kept saying it that God, that I know he would never do such horrible things, but nothing I said changed their mind.

Well, Nancy, they had to have proof. Yes, but I just kept right on arguing with him, and I just had this little voice inside of me saying to me, Are you arguing because you think you’re right. Or are you arguing because you’re terrified that you are wrong? Bonnie? Honey. Honey. Oh.

Cause I want you to tell me what you did to my Abby, or you have two seconds to live. One. Okay. Okay. Settle down like I said. I went over there looking for Be Brady. I was, um, wearing gloves because I was gonna send a message to EJ because EJ told her that you shot him. Yeah, yeah. I was gonna fix it. So he’d find her strangled to death, but, um, you know, I couldn’t find her anywhere.

It seemed like I had broken the house for none. Um,

but then I ran into your wife.

What the hell are you doing here?

Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of lives.

So Clyde Weston is the one who framed me. That’s what the cops are saying. Well, it does make sense. I did get him in a little trouble sticking him with the jewelry I lifted from Abigail’s room, but he had an alibi. What’s the big deal? Unless he’s doing this for Nancy? Yeah. Okay. He totally lost me. Well, I stole his girlfriend’s husband, so he frames me for stabbing son.

I, He should be thanking me. It’s because of me that she was back on the market. Like could you just listen?

He didn’t just stab Sunny PDE also killed Abigail. Oh my God. He’s a monster. Yeah. Yeah, he is. So it’s been Clyde Weston from the beginning and he’s finally found the right man.

How many times have we been told that the police have the person who killed Abigail? And how many times has it turned out that they were wrong? I, I just had this gut feeling that it wasn’t Leo, why Leo told me things that he hadn’t told the police. Like what? Like he used a steak knife to open Abigail’s jewelry box and left it on her dresser.

That’s. The real killing was to found it. Yeah. Why would he hold back something like that from the police? He would’ve been a gift to the da. He would’ve put Leo and had gal’s bedroom with a knife. All that we had to do is say that Abigail walked in on Leo, interrupted a robbery. Leo panicked and killed her.

This is, this is just, This is just too much. I. It’s the police, Jack Devo. Hey, Jack and Sean. I’m glad you called him. Listen, I just came from seeing Leo Stark. I don’t think he did it. We’re way ahead of you. I’m calling to let you know that we put out an APB on Clyde Western, not Greg Wesley. I climb down on my, fell apart.

The, uh, the video footage that cleared him, it was faked. And I just wanted you and Jennifer to be the first to know it’s. And, uh, now we just gotta find him.

Okay, So you’re in the house and then you were in the Abby, and what did you do? But what do you think I did? I lied. I asked you a question. Will you Butler let me in. Oh, I’m sorry. I, I’m here to discuss a business opportunity with your husband at this hour. What do I just get off my day? You know what made this proposal to EJ first and he turned me down.

But I had a hunch, a smart fella like your husband would know a good deal when Selma. Hmm. Yeah. You know, uh, Chad a smart, but so am I. Did you think I would notice you wearing gloves in the middle of June

if she only had just not started in with all the damn questions?

Sean said they’re absolutely certain that client’s their man. Oh, they’re absolutely certain about someone they cleared months ago. Know I know what this whole investigation is doing to you. It’s doing the same thing. Me just keep telling yourself that people are safe, but they’re not safe. Nobody is safe.

Abigail’s killer is still out there waiting. I’ll tell you what, why, why don’t we, we’ll go to the police together and we’ll make them tell us everything they can. It’s got to be better than sitting around here waiting for the phone to ring. Oh, it’s, no, you, you go, I, I’m not feeling so well. Well then I’m not going anywhere.

Oh, no, no. If you do what you, you think’s right. You know, you, you go to the police station. I’m not leaving you alone if you feel sick. Well, I’m not gonna be alone. I mean, Doug and Julie are right upstairs and I I don’t feel sick. Exactly. It’s just. This is just a lot, you know, it’s a lot to take in and, and, and I, I think it would just make things worse sitting around the police station.

So I must have showed up after I grabbed the jewelry and then took off. Yeah, I guess. But why, What did he hear? Have against down the Gail? I, Why do you dare? You’re gonna be less out of here in a few hours.

Well, why you came me like that? I’m trying to figure out why you made a special trip to give me all this info. Wasn’t for you. I wouldn’t even be in here. So now, or even, Cause it wasn’t too long ago, I was on the other side of those bars because you couldn’t shut your big mouths. Are you still playing me?

I just told you who the murderer is. How, how? How is that playing? One I know you. And two, if they’re so short, Clyde, why am I in the cell? Instead of him? Maybe they can. He’s on their own with fancy, isn’t he? I could see it now. The two of them cutting a SWAT across the Midwest on a crime spree, like a new vo.

Bonnie and Clyde get it. Of course she’s gonna have to change her name. Clyde didn’t even show up at City Hall. Well, he probably knew the cops were after

it’s Chloe. I just can’t, No, let me, let me, It’s okay. Let me. Hey, honey. Uh, yeah, it’s Bonnie. Your mom is with me and she’s okay. She just, um, she really can’t come to the phone right now. No. She’s gonna stay with me a while and she’ll call you when he’s feeling better. Okay. Hi. You don’t have to thank me.

She’s my friend.

She’s worried about you and why wouldn’t she be ? I don’t know whether I’m desperate or just stupid. Maybe I’m a combination of both. Don’t, don’t. You dare do that. Money. All I wanted was someone to love me, and all Clyde wanted was a warm bed in somebody to vouch for him a needy bra who could make him legit after his time in prison.

Well, he sure found her.

You broke into a woman’s house and you didn’t want her asking you questions. You just didn’t like that she was onto you, did you? You stupid bastard. Are you sure you want to hear this? You wanna keep living talk,

hear the boss.

Yeah. I do feel a little silly wearing gloves, but what happened was I was taking a pot off the stove at the pub. It was so dang hot. It blistered my fingers just wearing the gloves. Keep the lotion off. Hm. Well, maybe you need more than lot. So why don’t you take the gloves off and let me look at your hands.

I don’t see any need to do that. That’s what I thought. Why is it that every crook I know decided to stop by tonight? What do you baling about? My sister’s supposed to be in prison. She breaks in for a chat. Now you so tell you what, why don’t you come up with a more believable story? I’m gonna go call the police.

You don’t get your hands off me,

Abby. You know, we can just stop right here. The rest is gonna be even harder on you. You probably don’t even want see me anymore. Go, go. I told you I wanted to hear it all and I.

Was the wedding cold off? Was it even here? Nancy was, Clyde was a no-show. He must have figured you were off after him. Now keep dumped Nancy at the altar. I mean, he is the type, No, when I saw him, he was all dressed up and acted like everything was fine. Have you been in Tuss with Ben? No, I haven’t been able to reach him.

There’s no way Clark could have seen this arrest coming. I just, It doesn’t make any sense. Ej, We have to tell him everything. The whole story. I don’t know what you mean the hell. You don’t what whole story.

Even iFLY is on the run. The police should have caught ’em by now. Even you have managed to evade them for quite a while. I don’t, I don’t think there’s ever been a crowd that you can blend. I’ll take that as a company. I don’t care if you believe me or not about Clyde. I’ve come here to tell you what I know, and now I’m gonna go worry about all the other things I need to worry about.

Don’t go Gwe, I’m sorry. I do believe you. And I’m sorry. I told the police you didn’t.

Sorry That I told them why to find. I deserved it. Anything I can do to make it up to you?

Maybe you could help me figure out what to do about my pill Popping stepmother,

do you remember when we were in Boston together at your grandma? And we talked and we talked and it helped both of us so much.

Who am I gonna talk to now about how much I miss you?

Oh, Abigail.

Well, it seems like I’m just adding to your problems here, but like I said, you’re the boss.

When I saw that knife on the table, I saw way out of the mess. I then,

why don’t you put that phone down before you regret it? Where did that come from? That’s the least. Your worries right now. You really think you’re gonna get away with threatening me? You know, everything has fallen into place for me right now and I swore I’d never go back to prison. So I’ll be Dan if I let you ruin my life like you ruin my sons.

Are you blaming me for Ben’s problems? When he was a kid, you used to beat him within an inch of his life, and him and me were working through that and he was doing just fine until he got tangled up with you. You were living with Ben and cheating on him with Rich Boy Amira, and you got yourself knocked up and tried to pass that baby off as his, I thought that I was telling the truth about the baby because you changed the paternity results.

All I know is my boy ended up in a psycho award and you ended up.

So does that really justify threatening me with a knife? Oh, it ain’t all about you, Missy. Your fancy bad singer brother-in-law suddenly remembered it was me. You got him shot. You did that. Dayja told him to keep his mouth shut. He goes and grabs it to that lady lawyer friend of his walking by. To teach him a lesson and shut her up for good.

Well, unfortunately for you, DJ and aren’t here. Yeah. Figured that out. But you knew him. I told DJ that if he did let his mouth, I was coming after his family and sisters mom. They’re. Right. Ain’t not right.

And now we get down to the real nitty gritty.

Chad’s got a gun and you didn’t tell me on the phone that he went looking for Clyde. We don’t know that for sure. Okay. What is a guy like Chad gonna do with a gun? All I told Bell was that the gun wasn’t in the safe. That doesn’t mean Chad has it. I don’t even know if the gun was in this safe. No, that’s not what you said before, ej.

I was mistaken. Now you’re just wasting my time. Listen, I know you think you’re protecting Chad. Now I’m gonna go check with building Security and see if they’ve seen Chad or Clyde, and then I’m gonna put an APB out on Chad. So you keep him here. You keep him outta my way,

I’m sorry, but he needs to know

now you tell me what you did to her and you make it fast. And after that, I’m done with you.

Is that what

you come from Heaven to let me know that you are right

or are you, are you a.

Are, are you here because I miss you so much.

Huh? I know what you are

you the answer to my prayers?

Like

you,

you know, I didn’t want the stand in judgment of Jennifer and not a good look for you. For the minute I said something to her, she said that if I told Jack, she would just unleash on me the saint did. Jennifer, you’re the highest a kite. Jennifer, are you sure? Yes, I’m sure. I’ve spent all those years with my mom.

She said if I even open my mouth to Jack, that she would she’d ruin what little relationship I have left with him. Hmm. Feeling stuck Are. God, I’ve really progressed in my relationship with Jack. I don’t wanna ruin that. And he really cares about Jennifer. He deserves to know what she’s doing to herself.

Maybe he can help her. This is why you and I have got to get back to being tighter than Channing Tatum’s. You my dear, have lost your edge. I have not. I have more edge now than before. What is the golden rule of Grif? Always look out for old number one. Telling daddy about his wife’s drug problem isn’t gonna get you squat.

In fact, it might get you less than squat. So we’re gonna take that off the table. Wow, this is brilliant advice. Okay, now I know you’ve got off to spend a little time with Cousin Mattie. You’ll be back to your selfish self in no time. You know, Jennifer, dipping into mother’s little helpers could actually work out for you.

Oh, can’t wait to hear where this goes next. Well, you wanna be closer to your dad, right? When Jen goes off the rails, he’s gonna need someone’s lean on. We know it isn’t gonna be happen. Ah, Matt, what? Bottom line. Jennifer’s pill habit is Jennifer’s problem, not yours. When I finally get out of here, you and I are gonna have a drink to that

here. Just don’t drink it too fast. All right. All right. Let’s put this down for a second. Actually, come here a little. Do not blame yourself because you got conned by an expert. First of all, honey, he fooled the cops too. What’s wrong with trusting? What’s wrong? With believing in love? We should all be as openhearted as you.

It’s so easy for you because you have Justin. Yes, and I thank my lucky stars every day for that. But that’s because for my entire life, I didn’t think I deserve what I have now. Oh, no. Yeah. No. I was as down on myself as you are now. But I am here to tell you it does get better. It does now. You learned a hard lesson.

You don’t let to guard down until you know everything there is to know about a med, right? Right. So now you need to believe in yourself, don’t you? Gar Clyde or Craig take that away from you? They have no, look at me. They have already taken away so much.

Thank you.

One. Jack, what are you doing here? Well, I came here looking for an update, but it looks like it already down on the search. You probably should know that about Clyde Western. Yeah, I already know. It’s actually why I’m here. I’ve just told Leo. Well, I guess it’s just a waiting game now. I should, I should probably be getting back to Jennifer.

You left her home alone. Well, no, I’m Doug and Julia there. Why? Sorry. I dunno. I’m just a bit junky. You know, all this western business, him being out on the. Gwen, I’ve gotten to know when you’re not telling me the whole truth,

you’re right, I’m not. There’s something that you need to know about Jennifer.

I miss you every second of every.

People keep talking to me about closure, but I feel like there’s this part of me that’s just been ripped off.

How do you close a wound like that?

I started, I started taking these again, just just to get to the. I, I, I really don’t want to, I just, I know, I know. I promise that I never would, again, I wouldn’t touch them, but

I, I just don’t know how else I can go on living without you.

It’s just, if I just understood why I need that. I just, I just need that so much. Is that why you’re here? Is that why you’re here to, to tell me the truth, because I need that so badly. I need that more than I need these. I need that more than I need anything.

Can’t you guess what happened next? You really warm spelled out for you. Yeah. What I want, it’s for you to use the last few minutes of your rotten life to tell me what you did to my. You asked for it. You so bitch. You’re not gonna get away with this.

Yeah, the output from security cameras is on here, so if Chad or Cly went through that foyer, this camera would’ve picked them up. Let’s see here. Camera one

doesn’t show which way they went when they. There’s gotta be a better angle from another camera. So you got, uh, camera one. Camera one’s got a perfect view of the outside door.

Do you have any idea where tab taken?

I took our kids to a movie. We were eating popcorn and laughing. While you were doing that to her,

did you enjoy it?

Dejo,

How do you know that Jennifers taking prescription drugs? Well, I went back into the house because I’d forgotten my purse, and she was holding the bottle in her hand and I could see from the first three letters on the generic label, I knew instantly what they were. Are you sure what you saw? I was blackmailed into delivering the same things with Dr.

Feel good last summer? Yes. Yes. I’m sure. No, no, no, no. You can be right. I mean, I mean, yes, she had a problem before, but she, she, she wouldn’t get back into that stuff again. She’s stronger now. Strong enough to deal with the brutal murder of her only daughter.

No, you can’t be right,

Jack. I. I told her that I knew and she threatened to turn you against me if I said anything. God, you.

When,

Oh my God.

Okay.

Okay.

So you stabbed my wife. You left it for dead. You sent your message to ej. What did Sonny ever do to you? Why would you go after my best friend too?

Had nothing to do with you. I wasn’t even planning on it. I read in the paper how Leo Stark was saying that when somebody confessed to kill an Abigail, I knew that wouldn’t own the, I mean if anyone knew she was innocent, it’s me and somebody had to pay for the craft. So to I figure who better than that little pansy Cause Nancy so much trouble as she told me.

He made a list of all the people he was gonna get even with. I knew all I had to do was get ahold of that list,

took her right out of his bag when Idiot wouldn’t looking sure enough Abigail’s name was there. So all I had to do was take out somebody else on that list and it would look like he was knocking ’em off on that one.

Could have been Chloe, you know, cuz of Nancy and um, Brady Black. Same thing, which left, um, you and son, but I guess you looked down. So I started trailing Leo. He led me in light to your Buddy’s office. All I had to do is wait, he’s back to me and. He used the same guy. I used with Abigail, and then all I had to do was set the scene.

Is that enough detail for you? I mean, I could probably describe the blood stains to the floor if you’d like me to. I’ll be satisfied when you’re dead. Yeah. You know, you keep saying that, but you haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

Thank you so much for trying to make me feel better, but I don’t know how I’m ever gonna come back from this one two punch. Honey, I’m not gonna be able to walk into a room without people pointing and whispering about me, honey, if I worried about stuff like that, I’d have to live in a desert of Mars.

Seriously, some place where nobody knows who I am and that ain’t happening. I judged in this household every day before breakfast. No, it’s true , but not by Justin kk. I live life the man I love. And that makes it worth, and you are gonna have that too. Did you have to? No. You have to promise me that you’re not gonna stop trying to be happy and don’t ever stop believing in love.

Jennifer, Jen, Jennifer, Honey, are.

Was Clyde. I swear I’m gonna make him paid. Anyone who ever hurt. Anyone who ever even thought about hurting you, I swear

they will be sorry they ever hurt.

Oh, there’s no sign of ej. It’s like he just disappeared in the thin air. Well, he probably thinks he knows where Chad is. Oh, great. So I got a murder on the loose and I got two Demira brothers with revenge on their brains. Beautiful.

You don’t have the guts. Do your big man. Show your mouth. Come on. Come on. Shoot in our man and cold blood.

Okay.

Yeah, he’ll be with Abigail soon. Now, Chad won’t take long now.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Justin joins Bonnie in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, where Bonnie informs him that she has the most wonderful news. Bonnie announces that Nancy and Clyde are getting married today. Bonnie adds that it’s all because of her, revealing to Justin that when Nancy’s marriage crashed and burned, she set her up on a dating app which is where she met Clyde. Bonnie says she’s so thrilled for Nancy since she was so crushed by Craig cheating on her with a man while now she has found someone to make her happy for the rest of her life.

Chloe begs Craig to talk Nancy out of this wedding. Craig argues that she won’t listen to him after he broke her heart. Chloe asks what he thinks is going to happen when Nancy becomes Mrs. Clyde Weston and calls it the biggest mistake of her life. Craig understands her concerns but says she can’t put him in the middle because it’s not his place to tell Nancy who she should or shouldn’t marry. Craig declares that he’s sorry but he just won’t do it.

Nancy and Clyde talk in the town square. Nancy informs him that Brady, Chloe, and Craig are going to meet them at City Hall. Clyde decides they are all set then. Nancy thought her life was over until Clyde came along and gave her hope. Nancy tells Clyde that she loves him and can’t wait to be his wife as they kiss.

Rafe can’t believe Clyde’s alibi was bogus. Jada confirms there’s no doubt that he doctored the footage. Rafe credits Jada as they would’ve never known without her. Jada thanks him but points out that Rafe is the one who told her to go over everything again. Rafe declares that it looks like Chad was right about Leo being framed for Abigail’s murder, he was just wrong about who was doing it. Rafe decides they need to issue an arrest warrant for Clyde fast but by the book. Rafe wants to assure Chad that his wife’s killer is not going to slip through their hands again. Rafe then makes a call.

Chad goes to the DiMera Mansion and removes a gun from the safe. Chad loads the gun and puts it in his pocket but EJ arrives and asks what he’s doing there.

Chloe pleads with Craig to go talk to Nancy and tell her she can’t go through with this wedding. Brady suggests Chloe take a minute but Chloe points out that they don’t have a minute as they are due at City Hal. Craig argues that Chloe isn’t hearing him while Chloe complains that Craig wasn’t hearing them when they warned him about Leo. Chloe asks what if they stopped trying and then Craig would be broke and married to Leo. Craig is grateful for them caring enough to tell him the truth even though he didn’t want to listen. Chloe says they did it because they love him and she knows he loves Nancy, so he needs to go talk sense in to her. Craig declares that Nancy has made her choice, adding that Clyde has paid his debt to society and is staying on that side of the law.

Justin tells Bonnie that this marriage is a bit sudden. Bonnie asks why wait when you find the one. Bonnie questions if he doesn’t agree. Justin responds that in this case, he definitely does not agree. Justin questions how Bonnie could be excited about Nancy marrying a criminal like Clyde Weston. Justin adds that he believes Clyde had Sonny stabbed several years ago as a way to send Victor a message during a business deal, but no one could ever prove Clyde was involved. Justin says he’s sorry to rain on Bonnie’s parade but declares that this wedding is nothing to celebrate.

Clyde tells Nancy that he can’t wait to be her husband. Clyde says he’s one lucky man to have her in his life and calls her his miracle. Clyde talks about not thinking he had a chance of meeting anyone on the dating app, but she took a chance on him and he’s forever grateful. Nancy is so glad she did because every day keeps getting better. Clyde calls this the best one yet. Nancy says she has to go make herself beautiful and she will see him soon. Nancy walks away. Clyde then turns around to see Belle in the town square.

Chad tells EJ that he just came to pick something up and now he has it, so he’s going. EJ stops him and asks if he’s alright. Chad tells EJ to get out of his way. EJ asks if there’s any news on Leo. Chad responds that Leo is innocent. EJ questions what he means. Chad then reveals that Leo wasn’t the one who killed his wife, it was Clyde Weston, and now he’s going to make damn sure he pays.

Clyde greets Belle and asks where she’s off to in such a hurry. Belle says it’s none of his business. Clyde asks her how EJ is doing. Belle responds that as far as she knows, he’s fine. Clyde sends his best and says he’s in a hurry himself as he’s going to the City Hall to get married. Clyde informs Belle that he and Nancy are getting married. Belle is surprised and questions it happening now. Clyde declares that his second chance comes tonight.

Chloe argues that Clyde is a career criminal and questions if he didn’t just get out of prison and pick up where he left off. Craig points out that Clyde is making an honest living at the Brady Pub. Chloe argues that he’s probably dealing drugs out of the Pub. Craig laughs that off, reminding her that Roman runs the place. Chloe questions why Craig is being so easy on Clyde. Chloe complains that Clyde is a psycho, who abused his own children and their mother. Chloe asks what if he does the same thing to Nancy. Chloe talks about Clyde beating Ben so badly that it turned him into a serial killer. Craig says that was a long time ago. Craig admits that he doesn’t think Clyde is good for Nancy, but Nancy has made her choice and Clyde has shown no sign of going back to the other side so they can’t judge and have to be fair. Chloe argues that Nancy barely knows Clyde and thinks it’s too soon for her to be marrying anyone. Craig points out that Nancy is very happy right now so he doesn’t want to deprive her by being negative. Craig declares that all they have to do is be positive and show her their support.

Justin calls Alex and promises to talk to Sonny and try to smooth things over. Bonnie asks what that was about. Justin informs her that Alex and Sonny got in a big fight over Titan, so now he has to go call Sonny. After Justin exits, Nancy rushes in to ask Bonnie for help getting ready for her wedding. Bonnie agrees to work her magic and transform her to the most beautiful bride.

Rafe calls Chad and leaves a message, giving him a heads up that Clyde Weston’s alibi for Abigail’s murder fell apart so they just got the arrest warrant and are going to pick him up. Rafe says he’ll be in touch and hangs up. Rafe tells Jada that now all they have to do is find Clyde as they hurry out of the station.

Chad reminds EJ that he should’ve told him that Clyde threatened their family. EJ responds that he’ll never stop being sorry for that. EJ asks about Clyde’s alibi. Chad says he doesn’t have time to answer his questions. EJ stops him and says he wants to help but Chad tells him to go to Hell and storms out.

Craig tells Chloe that if Nancy’s marriage falls apart, he will be there for her, but right now they owe her all the support and have to be positive. Chloe complains that she can’t do that while Nancy is marrying a thug. Chloe asks Brady to help her convince Craig that they have to get Nancy to reconsider. Brady apologizes but thinks Craig is right. Brady hears what Chloe is saying and wishes Nancy wasn’t marrying Clyde but it is her decision. Brady tells Chloe that unless she plans on no showing, they should get ready for a wedding.

Bonnie gets Nancy dressed and tells her that she’s never seen her look more beautiful. Bonnie gives Nancy a bouquet of flowers wrapped in blue while her outfit is new and borrowed from her while the jewelry is old, so she has all the bridal bases covered. Nancy thanks Bonnie and says their wedding is going to be very small with just family, but she would love it if Bonnie and Justin would come. Justin comes back in to the room with a serious look. Bonnie asks about the call with Sonny and if things between he and Alex are that bad. Justin responds that he doesn’t know how to say this, but Clyde was the one who stabbed Sonny. Bonnie questions why he would lay that old news on Nancy on her wedding day when that happened so long ago. Bonnie starts explaining but Justin cuts her off and reveals he’s talking about the stabbing that just happened that landed Sonny in the hospital. Nancy tries to argue it was Leo but Justin reveals that Sonny just told him that it was Clyde who attacked him.

EJ calls Chad, asking him to call him back because he really does want to help. Belle arrives and informs EJ that she just had a run in with Clyde and he asked about EJ in a way that was very unsettling. Belle adds that Clyde is marrying Nancy tonight. Belle calls that horrifying and says they can’t let Nancy marry a guy who put a hit on EJ and left him to die. EJ says that’s not all Clyde did and reveals that according to Chad, Clyde is also the one who murdered Abigail.

Clyde goes to City Hall and prepares to head inside when Chad grabs him from behind with his gun to his back.

Nancy questions what Justin is talking about, arguing that Clyde did not stab anyone. Bonnie points out that Sonny was stabbed behind and didn’t see who did it. Justin reveals that Sonny only identified the smell of vanilla. Nancy argues that doesn’t prove anything. Justin then adds that Sonny almost remembered seeing Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame. Nancy complains that Sonny is in the hospital being pumped full of drugs so they can’t trust anything he says and asks why Clyde would go after Sonny. Justin explains that Sonny is convinced that Clyde was trying to frame Leo. Nancy calls that even more ridiculous since Leo is out for revenge and has his hit list. Justin brings up Leo being cleared after Abigail’s murder, so Clyde had to find a way to implicate him again. Justin declares that Clyde did not just stab Sonny, he also murdered Abigail.

Belle thought Clyde had an alibi. EJ says he did too and asked Chad what had changed, but he just stormed off. EJ worries about Chad being in a bad way. Belle suggests they should call the police but EJ decides he’s going to handle Clyde himself.

Rafe and Jada search the Brady Pub but find out that Clyde is not there and that he’s getting married at City Hall, so they rush back out.

Clyde questions what Chad is doing. Chad warns him not to make a scene, pretend everything is normal, and come with him or he will kill him right here, right now.

Nancy insists to Justin that Clyde is innocent and has an alibi for the night that Abigail was killed as there is video of him fishing. Justin suggests Nancy speak to Sonny. Nancy argues that Sonny must be confused and she’s sorry for what he’s been through, but she has to get to her wedding. Nancy thanks Bonnie for everything. Justin advises Nancy to rethink her wedding but she refuses. Nancy yells at Justin to stop trying to ruin this for her. Nancy cries that Clyde is innocent and he loves her, so she is getting married today. Justin warns that this is a big step and asks her to talk to Sonny before she takes it. Nancy refuses to listen to anything else and declares that she’s getting married today, so nothing can stop her. Nancy thanks Bonnie again but decides it’s not a good idea for them to come to her wedding after all because of how Justin is acting. Nancy then exits the mansion. Bonnie says that Nancy must be right that Clyde wouldn’t stab anyone. Justin questions her believing that. Bonnie talks about believing in innocent until proven guilty while Justin sticks by what Sonny said. Bonnie believes Sonny could be mistaken. Justin doesn’t think so. Bonnie suggests Sonny could be thinking about his past stabbing. Justin talks about Clyde doing terrible things. Bonnie relates to being unfairly judged by your past, noting that she was a rotten person but she changed, so maybe Clyde has too. Justin hopes that she’s right for Nancy’s sake.

Brady, Chloe, and Craig arrive at City Hall and wonder where everyone is. Brady jokes that he thought they were running late. Chloe hopes it’s a good sign that maybe Nancy changed her mind and cancelled the wedding. Craig suggests she’s probably just taking extra time getting ready. Craig reminds Chloe to be supportive. Brady points out that Clyde isn’t even there, so he wonders what’s keeping him. Chloe feels it’s the perfect excuse to leave since they came but the bride and groom weren’t there. Craig says they can’t do that. Chloe points out that no one is there. Craig assures they are on their way. Chloe wants to wait two more minutes. Craig insists that they are not bailing on Nancy on her big day when she asked them to come. Craig tells her to think of how hurt Nancy would be. Rafe and Jada arrive. Craig gets upset, thinking that they tracked him there and repeats that he had nothing to do with Abigail or Sonny. Rafe responds that they know he didn’t stab anyone. Brady asks if they know who did. Rafe reveals they have reason to believe it was Clyde Weston. Chloe thought he had an alibi. Rafe and Jada explain that it fell apart as the footage was doctored. Chloe complains that she knew Clyde was a bad guy but questions if he’s that bad that he stabbed Sonny and killed Abigail. Rafe confirms it looks that way. Chloe worries about Nancy marrying him. Rafe says that’s why they are here, to get to Clyde before he walks down the aisle.

Chad brings Clyde to Abigail’s grave and orders him to look at her headstone. Chad wants to know why Clyde put her in the ground. Clyde claims he has the wrong guy and that he had nothing to do with it as he has an alibi. Chad screams that is the wrong answer as Rafe told him that the footage was tampered with. Chad warns that everyone knows he’s trying to cover his tracks and asks why he would do that if he wasn’t guilty. Chad wants to know why he slaughtered his wife. Chad screams at Clyde to start talking. Chad asks if Clyde did it to send a message to EJ. Clyde says it wasn’t like that at all. Chad asks for the truth. Clyde responds that Abigail wasn’t the one he meant to kill. Chad asks who was then and demands he start talking. Clyde then reveals that Belle was the one he was after.

Belle questions what EJ plans to do by handling Clyde. EJ says he should’ve put Clyde down the minute he remembered that Clyde had him shot. EJ complains that he lost everything because of him. EJ declares that this ends now. EJ goes to the safe. Belle worries that if EJ kills Clyde, he’ll lose everything again and will be behind bars for the rest of his life. EJ blames himself for Abigail’s death and says now he intends to make things right. EJ then opens the safe, only to find the gun is gone.

Justin loves that Bonnie has such a forgiving heart but not everyone is able to turn their life around like she did. Bonnie says she was able to because she had the love of a good man and now Clyde has the love of a good woman. Bonnie asks Justin to try to give Clyde the benefit of the doubt. Justin notes that Sonny was pretty sure about what happened but agrees to talk to him again. Bonnie worries about Nancy and asks how she can handle getting her heart broken all over again. Justin says she’ll just have to lean on her friends like her. Justin kisses Bonnie and then exits.

Chloe argues that they were supposed to be here by now and worries that Clyde found out the cops were after him and kidnapped Nancy. Nancy then arrives. Chloe asks if she’s okay. Nancy says she’s fine and asks what’s going on and where Clyde is. Rafe says they are actually trying to find him and questions if Nancy doesn’t know where he is. Nancy responds that she doesn’t, but she knows why they are hunting him down because of what Sonny said. Nancy says that Justin told her all about it. Rafe says they just need to find him. Nancy mocks this being about vanilla cologne and Clyde’s reflection. Nancy insists that Clyde didn’t stab Sonny. Rafe and Jada question what Sonny said. Nancy explains that Sonny said he saw Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame in his office but argues that he must have been hallucinating from the drugs they are giving him in the hospital. Craig tries to calm her down but Nancy shouts that she is getting married. Chloe brings up Abigail’s murder as well. Nancy brings up Clyde’s alibi but Chloe informs her that it’s fake and was altered. Nancy starts to cry. Jada confirms they have a warrant out for Clyde’s arrest.

Chad questions why Clyde would go after Belle. Clyde states that EJ blabbed to her after he told him to keep his mouth shut about their history. Chad questions what that has to do with Abigail. Clyde explains that he went to the DiMera Mansion one night with the excuse that he was there to talk business with EJ, but he didn’t trust him, so he planted a bug in the house to keep tabs on him. Clyde reveals that’s how he found out that EJ betrayed him and heard him talking to Belle. Clyde complains that EJ lied after assuring him that what happened in the park would be their secret. Clyde recalls hearing EJ talking about his plan to make sure Clyde would never be able to hurt anyone again but Belle talked him out of it. Clyde knew Belle still had every intention of making him pay, so he knew they were coming after him one way or another, so he decided to send EJ a message since he knew Belle was living at the mansion and wanted to teach her a lesson…

EJ remembers Chad saying he came to pick something up and realizes it was the gun. EJ tells Belle that Chad just found out who really murdered his wife and is going to handle Clyde himself, by killing him.

Rafe calls to put an APB out on Clyde Weston, wanted for murder and attempted murder so he’s considered extremely dangerous. Nancy cries that this can’t be true. Craig tries to comfort her but Nancy tells him not to touch her. Nancy runs out of the room, so Chloe and Craig go after her. Rafe decides they need to find Clyde and exits with Jada.

Belle says she’s really calling the police now as they have to do something. EJ feels they need to find Chad themselves before it’s too late.

Chad still wants to know how Clyde went from taking Belle out to murdering his wife. Clyde explains that when he got to the mansion that night, there was no sign of Belle or EJ. Chad asks if he just decided to kill his wife then. Clyde says that’s not how it went down. Chad screams at him to tell him what happened because he wants to know everything about how his wife died.

EJ tells Belle that Clyde’s been living with Nancy so maybe he’s there. Belle reminds him that they are getting married today at City Hall. Belle decides she’s going with EJ despite EJ saying no. Belle adds that first she’s going to call Shawn to let him know that they think Clyde is at City Hall. EJ still doesn’t want to involve police. Belle worries that Chad isn’t experienced with guns while Clyde is and asks if he’s prepared to deal with what happens if Clyde gets the gun away from Chad. EJ then agrees to let Belle call the police, but tells her to do it from the car as they rush out of the mansion.

Nancy returns to the Kiriakis Mansion and sits with Bonnie. Bonnie apologizes as she knows what Justin said upset her. Nancy responds that it’s ok because Justin was right as Clyde never showed up for the wedding, but the police did with a warrant for his arrest. Nancy cries that Clyde stabbed Sonny, and even worse, they said he killed Abigail. Bonnie tells her she’s so sorry. Nancy doesn’t want to believe it and kept arguing that the Clyde she knows would never do such horrible things but she couldn’t change their minds. Nancy breaks down crying as Bonnie hugs her.

Chad screams at Clyde to start talking. Clyde says he doesn’t want to do this. Clyde doesn’t think it will do him any good to hear about it. Chad accuses him of stalling as he holds the gun on him. Chad points out a freshly dug grave and threatens to put Clyde in it.

I never told you, but my Nancy’s married to crash and burn. I gave her little pep, Anna a makeover and I got her on a dating app where I, um, Thank you very much.

Found the sexy stud, who is now her fiance. Mm-hmm. . So she met Clyde. Yes. Isn’t that a coincidence? Uh, Justin, I am just so thrilled for Nancy. I, she was just so crushed when she found out that Craig was cheating on her with a man. I swear now she’s found someone will make her happy for the rest of her life.

So take that Craig Wesley.

Dad, please, can you just talk to her? She will not listen to me. You think she’s gonna listen to me? The guy who broke her heart, Pray through hell. Who do you think’s gonna happen when she becomes Mrs. Clyde Weston Dad? She’s making the biggest mistake of her life. Honey, I understand your concerns, but can put me in the middle of this.

It’s not my place to tell your mom who she should or shouldn’t. Sorry, I just want to, I just talked to Chloe and she and Brady and Craig are gonna meet us at City Hall. Great. That we’re all set. Oh God. I thought my life was over and, and you came along, gave me hope. I love you, Claire, and I can’t wait to be your.

I can’t believe it. Flight to alibis. Bogus. There’s no doubt that he docked the surveillance footage by the docks. Well, which we would never known. Were not for you. Good job, Detective Hunter. Thanks. But you were the one who told me to go over everything again. I mean, that’s why I was able to see. That’s timestamp having altered.

It looks like Chad was right about Leo being framed for Abigail’s murder. Who’s just wrong about who was doing it? Yeah. He thought it was Craig Wesley. But it was glide. We need to issue an arrest warrant on it. We need to do it fast, but by the book. I do assure Chad that his wife’s killer is not gonna slip through our hands again.

What are you doing here?

Like sands through the hour glass. So are the days of our lives.

Dad, can you please go talk to her? Tell her she cannot go through with this wedding. Chloe, maybe. Maybe we should take a minute. We don’t have a minute. We’re due at city hall. We gotta do this now. Oh, you’re not hearing me. Well, you weren’t hearing us before. Remember when we were begging you to see that Leo is a conning lying con artist.

What if we’d stop trying and just said, Forget it. Throw our hands up in the air. You would be broke and married to a bigamist. And I am grateful that you and Brady and everyone who cared about me tried to tell me the truth at the time, but I didn’t wanna listen then. Well, I know. And we did it because we love you and I know that you love mom.

So please, you need to go talk some sense into her. Oh, your mom’s made her choice. And whether we like it or not, kinds. He’s paid his debt to society and from what I can tell, he’s staying on that side of the law.

This marriage is a bit sudden. No. Huh? Well, you find the one. Why? Wait. Huh? You don’t agree? No. In this case, I definitely do not agree. And Bonnie, how can you be excited about Nancy or anyone else marrying a criminal like Clyde Weston? Here’s a rap sheet. As long as my arm, and I believe that he had son stabbed.

Oh, Leo stabbed son. Unless you think he and Clyde were in cahoots. No, I’m talking about an incident that happened several years. It was Clyde’s way of sending Victor a message during a business view that they were having, but no one was ever able to prove that it was him. Well, then maybe he wasn’t involved.

Oh, he was involved. Are you sure? I’m sure I Now he’s involved with Nancy. Sorry to rain on your parade, but this wedding is nothing to Celebr.

Back at your sweetheart. Can’t wait to be your lawfully wooded husband. I just get chills here. You say that, I don’t know if it was fate or good fortune or divine providence, but I’m one lucky man to have you in my life. You wore my miracle. Oh God, it’s true. You know, I got that dating nap. I didn’t think a jail bird like me stood a snowballs chance in hell of meeting anybody, which let a woman like you wanna marry me.

But you took a chance on me and I’m forever grateful. Yeah, I’m just so glad I did. Every day keeps going better and better. This is the best one yet, is our wedding day. Oh, I gotta get a move on. I’ve gotta go make myself beautiful. You already are. Oh, I will see you soon. Right. Bye Bye.

I just came by to pick something up. Another stuffed Mo Charlotte. Oh, something else. And now I have it, so I have to go. Are you alright? Get outta my way. Can you at least tell me if there’s any news on Leo? Are yours innocent? What do you mean? Believe wasn’t the one who killed my wife. It was Clyde Weston.

And now I’m gonna make Hampshire that he pays

well, good evening, their counselor. Where are you off to in such a hurry. None of your business. Well, before you go, tell me how’s your client doing? You know my old buddy partner in crime, EJ Deira, As far as I know, he’s fine. Why do you ask? No reason? You give him my best will you? Don’t worry. I’m gonna hurry myself going to the chapel.

Gonna get married. What? . Well, City Hall, Ashley, your friend Chloe from Mom not getting hitched now. You actually surprise counselor isn’t not the way the criminal justice system is supposed to work. I do my time. I get a second chance. My second chance comes tonight.

Slide. Weston is a career criminal. Who’s to say he didn’t get outta prison and just pick up right where he left off? He’s making honest Living at the pub. Yeah, right. He’s probably dealing drugs outta that place. Oh, at Roman Brady’s. The former police commissioner who gave him a job when no one else would.

I don’t think so. Why are you being so easy on him? Dad, Clyde is a psycho who abused his own children and their mother. What if he does that to mom? Chloe? What? He traumatized Ben so badly. He turned him into a psychopath, a serial killer. Chloe. That was a long time ago. Look, I don’t think this guy’s good for your mom.

I told him, so when I first met him, the side would I. The mom’s made a choice and, and Clyde has shown no signs of going back to the other side. So we gotta be fair. We can’t judge you. So what we just let mom take this ridiculous chance with this guy, this guy that she barely knows. I mean, come on Dad.

Even if Clyde was a perfectly lovely, upstanding citizen with no rap sheet, isn’t it too soon for her to be marrying? Sweetheart. Mother is very happy right now. I don’t wanna be the one to deprive her because I’m being negative. Look, all we have to do, be positive. Show her our support. Okay,

Alex, Alex. Calm down. I will talk to son and try to smooth things over. Yes, I promise I’ll call him right now. What was that about? Alex and Sonny got into a big fight over Titan. Okay. So I have to call Sonny and see if I can sort this out.

Mommy. Nancy Henderson let me in. I hope it’s okay. Well, yes, of course. Aren’t you getting married tonight? Oh, but nothing in my class at works. It’s too late to go shopping. Will you please help me? Oh, honey, of course. How much time do we have? Oh, not much. Well, I just have to work my body magic that much faster,

And before you know it, I’ll have you transformed into the most beautiful bride that ever lived. All right. So just spin around. Let’s get to it. Okay? Okay. Yeah, it’s Rafe. Listen, I just wanna give you a heads up. Claude Wesson’s alibi for Abigail’s murder fell apart. The surveillance footage from the docks was tampered with.

Uh, we just got the arrest warrant and, uh, Now we’re gonna go pick him up. So, uh, I’ll be in touch. Okay? Now all we have to do is find him.

You should warn me that Clyde West didn’t threatened our family. Do you know I’ll never stop being sorry. And forgive me for asking, but doesn’t Clyde have an alibi for that night? I don’t answer your question. Chad, please tell me what happened with Clyde. I want to help

the marriage falls apart. We’ll be there for her. Okay? Right now, I think we owe your mother all the support we can. We gotta be positive and optimistic. Well, I can’t do that. Not if she’s marrying that thug. Come on, Brady. Help me convince him that we have to get my mom to reconsider her. Chloe. Chloe, Look at me sweetie.

I’m sorry. I think your father is right on this one. What? Listen, I hear everything you’re. And I too wish that your mother was making a different decision about Marion Clyde, but it is her decision to make, We have to stay out of it. So unless you plan on being a nohow, maybe we should get ready for a wedding.

Come and as sweetheart, let’s see what we got here.

So I’ve never seen you look more beautiful. Oh,

what’s this? Every bride serves a Okay. And I want you to see it. I’ve had it wrapped in. And the outfit you’re wearing, you borrowed from me and it happens to be new. Also, a necklace you borrowed and that I’ve let you is vintage, so you’ve got all your bridal bases covered. My hair. I’m so touched, buddy.

Thank you. Thank you so much. You know, our, our, our wedding is gonna be very small. Just family. But I would love it if you and and Justin would come.

Oh, my Justin check out our Boshing bride. Is that she fors all because of Bonnie. Oh, I guess that phone call didn’t go so well with Sunny. Um, are things that bad with him and Alex, this isn’t about Alex. What is it about? I don’t know how to say this except to just say it. Clyde was the one who stabbed son.

Oh God. What? Justin, Why would you lay that old news on Nancy on a wedding date? Oh my God. That’s something that happened so long ago. Victor and Clyde had a business wobble. Vic claimed that Clyde sent a message by stabbing son, Bonnie, and watch what? I’m not talking about that. Talking about the stabbing that just happened, the one that landed my son in the hospital.

No, no, Leo did that. Turns out he didn’t. Son just told me that the one who attacked him is Clyde West.

Please chair, call me back as soon as. This. I really do want to help. Well, what are you doing here? Well, I just had a run in with Clyde Weston. Are you alright? Yeah, I’m fine. But I thought you should know since he asked about you in a way that was very unsettling. Where was this? It was in the square. Do you know he’s marrying Chloe’s mom tonight?

Oh my God. I know. It’s horrifying. We can’t let Nancy marry a guy who, who, who put a hit on you and left you to die, and that’s not all he did. According to Chad Clyde’s, also the one who murdered Abigail.

What are you talking about? Clyde did not stab anyone. Yes, Sonny was stabbed from behind. He didn’t see who did it. He didn’t. He only knew that his attacker smelled of vanilla. I guess it was vanilla scented cologne lately. I mean, do you know how many people wear that? That doesn’t prove to any. This afternoon, he also remembered seeing Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame hanging on the wall in his office.

Sonny’s in the hospital being p full of drugs. You can’t trust anything he says. And besides, why would Clyde go after Sonny? Because of some old grudge with with Victor. That’s not why he did it. Son is convinced that Clyde was trying to. Leo Stark. That is even more ridiculous. Leo is out for revenge. He has this hit list, and first on the list was Abigail and then Sunny.

Yes. But after Abigail was murdered, the cops turned Leo loose. They cleared him, so Clyde had to find a way to implicate him again. Seal the deal, if you will. You’re not saying what I think you’re saying. Clyde that he just stab at my son. He also murdered Abigail Damara.

But I thought Clyde had an alibi. So did I. I asked Chad to tell me what it changed, but he just stormed off. He’s in a bad way Bell. I’m really worried about him. Okay. Maybe we should call the police. How would that. I’m gonna handle Clyde, myself.

Cloud’s not here. Dishwasher said he took the night off. Should we check his girlfriend’s house? No, he’s not there either. He’s getting married. Married? Yeah. City hall. Well, let’s go. Yep.

Hey, what you doing? Every buddy? Don’t make a scene. I want you to pretend like everything is. And come with me. I’ll kill you right here, right now. Whoa. We hope Justin, you would be a hot shot attorney, but CDE is innocent. He has an air tight alibi for the night that Abigail was killed, he was down at the doc’s fishing.

There’s a video to prove it. Maybe it would help if you spoke directly with Sonny. Sonny is confused. I mean, and I’m sorry about that. And I’m sorry for everything that he’s been through, but I have a wedding that I need to get to. Bonnie, I, um, I wanna thank you for everything that you’ve done for me, Nancy.

Nancy, listen, I strongly advise you to rethink this wedding. No. Stop trying to ruin this for me. Crye is innocent and he loves. And I am getting married today. Please, this is a big step. So before you take it, just talk to my son. No, and stop it. Right. This one, I am not listening to anymore of this insanity.

I am getting married today and nothing, nothing you can say or do is going to stop me.

I wanna thank you for everything you’ve done for me, but given how your husband feels about my fiance, I don’t think it’s a good idea that you come to my wedding. Oh,

Nancy’s, right? Of course. It’s just right. I mean, CL would never set up anyone. You don’t really believe that? I believe in innocent until perfect. Guilty. I thought you did. Sunny says he saw fly in a reflection. And honey, Nancy’s right son’s on a lot of painkillers. I’m telling you, I saw elephants and pink tutus when I was on those things.

I son could have made a mistake, honey. I don’t think so. You know what? If flights stabbed him before, it makes perfect sense that Sunny’s wine will go there. But honey doesn’t make it really. Hde Weston has done terrible things. So have I. And I know what it’s like to be unfairly judged about your past.

Honey, I was a rotten person, but I changed. Maybe Clyde’s changed too. For Nancy sake. I really hope you’re right.

All is everyone. Thought we were running late. uh, well this might be a, a good sign. Maybe mom changed her mind and canceled the wedding. Uh uh uh, she’s probably just taking some extra time. Getting ready or she wised up and ran. Chloe, we’re going to be supportive. Glad Weston isn’t even here. I mean, what’s keeping him?

Oh, that’s the perfect excuse to leave. We came here, the bride and groomer Mia, so we took off. We can’t do that. Why not? No one’s here. Not even the efficient. I am sure they’re on their way. Well, I gave ’em two more minutes than I’m out Chloe. I know how you feel about the situation, but we are not bailing on your mom.

This is her big day. She asked us to come look. Think I heard she believe she came through that door. We weren’t here. Hmm. And it’s probably her right now. Oh my. I can’t believe this. Did you, did you? Track me here to my ex-wife’s wedding. I, I told you at that interrogation I had nothing to do with Abigail or Sunny.

Wait, no you didn’t stab either one of ’em. You know who did well, we have reason to believe it was Clyde Weston. What doesn’t he have an alibi? Uh, fell apart. Yeah, the timestamp on the video footage that put him at the dock that night, it was altered. Oh my God. I mean, I knew Clyde was a bad guy, but is he?

He’s that bad. He stabbed Sunny and he killed Abigail that way. Oh my God. My mom’s gonna marry that guy. That’s why we’re here. We wanted to get to him before he walks down the aisle.

The hell we doing here, man, that headstone, look at it. I said look at it.

That was my wife, the mother of my children. I wanna know why you put her in the ground. You got the wrong guy man. I had nothing to do with it. I have an alibi, Frog xr. Rav told me that that footage was tampered with, why everyone, including the cops, knows that you were trying to cover your track. So why would you do that if you weren’t guilty?

I wanna know why. Why did you do it? Why did you slaughter? My wife start dog. She crying. Why did you wanna send a message to my brother? Is that why you targeted Abigail? Huh? To warn him against talking about what you did to him? No, it wasn’t like that at all. Then what was it like?

Tell me the truth. I’m telling you the truth.

Abi

man. She wouldn’t know what I meant to kill.

Who was

start talking? He was bail.

Bales the one hour’s half.

What do you mean you’re gonna handle Clyde? What are you planning to do? What I should have done a long time ago. I should have put that animal down the minute I remembered he was the one who had me shut. Okay, EJ take. I’ve lost everything because of him. This ends now. No more.

What’s in there? My father’s God. No ej, I am not gonna let you kill Clyde. If you do that, you’re gonna lose everything all over again. You will end up behind bars for the rest of your life. Abigail is dead because of me, because I kept quiet about what I knew. I brought this help on my family, and now I intend to make things right.

No, ej, you can’t do this. What the hell? What? The God it’s gone.

Bonnie, I love that you have such a forgiving heart, but not everyone is able to turn their life around like you did.

I was able to turn my life around because I had the love of a good man. And now Clyde has the love of a good woman. Can’t you least try to give him the benefit of the,

Sonny was pretty sure about what happened, but Okay, I will talk to him. Thank you. You okay? I’m just worried about Nancy. How the world is she gonna handle getting her heart broken all over again? Well, she’ll just have to lean on the people who care about her wonderful friends like you.

Well, they were supposed to be here by now. What if Clyde found out that the cops are after him and kidnapped my mom and. Oh my God. We have to find them. Hi. Oh, thank God they got Mom. Are you okay? I’m fine. What’s going on? Where’s Clyde? We don’t know. We’re actually trying to find him. You don’t know where he is?

No, I don’t. But I know why you’re hunting him down. It’s because of what son Kka said. Justin told me all about it. Yeah, we just need to find him because he wears vanilla scented cologne. And that son saw his reflection. Huh? Clyde is not the one that stabbed son. His reflection son says that he saw Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame hanging on the wall in.

Wait, he saw a flight in his office? No, he was hallucinating from all the drugs that they’re giving him in the hospital. It’s like to sit down. I can get you some water or something. I do not wanna sit down and I am not thirsty. I’m getting married. Mom, this is not just about sunny. The police also believe that he killed Abigail.

Justin told me that too, but he didn’t. He has an alibi. There’s a video that proves it, Mom. It’s, it’s, it’s fake. The timestamp was altered, The time stamp.

No. No. No, I’m afraid your daughter’s right. Clyde has multiple felonies out and we have a warrant for his arrest.

No.

Why in the hell would you go after Bell?

Because EJ blabbed her after I told him to keep his mouth shut. About what? Our history, What does that have to do with my wife? I’m trying to tell you, man, but tell me faster. I paint a visit to the management, whatnot. Made the excuse that I was there to talk business with ej.

How the hell would you get on the. It wasn’t very difficult. Well, you wasted you the time. You know, Welcome here. Not a very warm welcome for your old cell mate.

Got anything to drink? I didn’t trust your brother,

so I planted that bug in the house so I could keep some tabs on them. That’s a good thing I did. Because when I listened to Courtney, I found out he’d betrayed me. I pushed play and heard EJ talking to Bell. Everyone said that you were shot by a mugger in the park. You’re saying Clyde did it. He didn’t pull the trigger.

He lured me to the park, threatened me. When things became heated, his man shot me and then they left me there to. That ain’t all he told her. I confronted Clyde before he was being released about what I remembered. He said if I turned him in, it wouldn’t just be me. He would make pay. He would take it. My entire family, EJ assured me that what happened in the park would be our secret, but he’d lied.

But you can’t let Clyde get away with this. I’m not going. It may take some time for my plan to be put into action, but once it is, I’m going to guarantee that Clyde Austin will never be able to hurt me or anyone I love ever again. Your brother wanted to rub me out, but bail talked him out of it. Listen to me, ej.

I am not talking to you as your lawyer now. I am talking to you as someone who really cares about. Don’t be an idiot. You cannot take the law into your own hand. But make no mistake, she still had every intention of making me pay. I think you’re going down the wrong path, okay? And if you try to deal with Clyde on your own, things aren’t gonna work out well for you.

Or what do I do? Just get over the fact that Clyde shot me in the back. No, but you know, you could, Let me think about it and let me figure out a legal way to bring Clyde to justice. So I knew they were coming after me one way or another, so I decided to send EJ a message using Bell. Yeah, I knew she was living with EJ Dimension, so I decided to teach her lesson.

Bella was calm. Oh, thank God. No. Chad what? When he came by earlier, he said he came to pick something up. It was the gun. Are you sure? Maybe it wasn’t in there. I saw it yesterday when I put something in the safe. Chad definitely took it. Why isn’t it obvious? Chad just found out who really murdered his wife.

He’s going to handle Clyde himself. He’s going to kill him. My brother is going to kill Clyde. We need an AP B on Clyde Weston. He’s wanted for murder and attempted murder. Consider him extremely dangerous. He’s just kidding. True. It just can’t be true. Don’t, don’t you touch me. I’ll see if I can catch her.

I’ll come with you.

Now. I really am calling the police to say what? But my brother has a gun. He’s gonna use it to kill Clyde. We have to do something. I’m right. We do. We need to find Chad ourselves before it’s too late.

I’m still waiting to find out how you went from taking bell out to murdering my wife. When I got to the Manion that night,

there was no sign of Bell or your brother, so when you couldn’t find. He decided to murder my wife. That ain’t how it went down. Stop telling me what didn’t happen. It start telling me what did I wanna know how my wife died

and I wanna know everything.

Why’s been living in Nancy Wesley’s house, right? Maybe he’s gone back there. No, I told you they’re getting married today. Do you know where I, I think City hall? Nope. No, no, no. What? No, I’m going with you. No. Yes. But first I’m going to call Sean and tell him that we think that Clyde is at City Hall. I told you I don’t want put all the fully let finish.

Chad is not experienced with guns and Clyde. What happens if he gets the gun away from Chad and uses it on him? Are you ready to deal with that? Uh, alright. Go ahead and call the police, but do it from the car. Okay? Okay.

Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit. Really doing some tea. Have a stiff drink. Oh God. Nancy, I’m sorry. I know what Justin said upset you. It’s so clean, buddy. Justin was right. What? What are you talking about? Craig never showed up for the wedding, but the police did. They had a warrant for his arrest. He’s the one that stabs Sunny and what’s worse?

So much worse. Oh, honey, go on. Go on honey. They said that. Take your time buddy. They said that he killed advocate. Oh God. Oh my God. I suspected, but I didn’t wanna believe it. I’m so sorry. I’m trying so hard not to believe it now, but I kept saying to them the kind that I know he would never do such horrible things, but nothing I said changed their mind.

Well, Lindsey, they had to have proof. Yes. But I just kept right on arguing with them, and I just had this little voice inside of me saying to me, Are you arguing because you think you’re right? Or are you arguing because you’re terrified that you’re wrong? Bonnie? Honey. Honey. Oh.

Start talking. You don’t want to do this to yourself, son, shut up. I Tell me how you did it. I don’t think that hearing about it is gonna do you any good. I know it’s gonna be bad for me. They’re stalling. Yeah. I saw a freshly dog grave over there. Why don’t we try that on for size?

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Nicole works at the Basic Black office as Jada arrives and says she knows it’s Eric’s first day but they must have mixed up each others’ phones as she has his. Nicole then asks if they woke up in bed together this morning.

Brady joins Chloe in her hotel room at the Salem Inn and happily announces that he has full custody of Rachel. Chloe tells him that she’s so happy for him as they hug. Brady admits he’s surprised that the judge ruled in his favor after everything Kristen dredged up. Chloe then reveals that knows how it happened.

Rafe brings Craig to the interrogation room and asks when he got back in town. Craig says it was just last night. Rafe then asks when he last saw Leo. Craig says other than just now, it probably would’ve been the morning after their aborted wedding. Rafe questions if Craig left town right after that. Craig confirms he went right back to New York and wanted to cut ties. Rafe then asks where Craig was on September 1 as that was the night that Sonny Kiriakis was stabbed.

Nancy tells Chad that it’s odd because Craig never wore aftershave or cologne during their marriage. Chad suggests he started wearing it after they split up. Nancy says that would be a coincidence because vanilla is what Clyde wears. Nancy says at first she thought it was feminine, but now she kind of likes it. Chad then thinks back to Craig hugging him and remembers that Clyde was standing nearby. Chad comes to a realization, so Nancy asks what’s wrong.

Clyde fills out his drug test paperwork at the hospital. Clyde then gets up and looks in the window of Sonny’s hospital room. Clyde then flashes back to being the one who stabbed Sonny! Will then approaches Clyde.

Chloe informs Brady that she happened to run in to the judge outside in the hallway and told her that she knew they couldn’t use Kristen’s previous crimes against her but that she had evidence of Kristen attacking her with the letter opener as she had the surveillance video from their office, so she assumes the judge watched it. Brady questions why she didn’t tell him earlier. Chloe worried that if Kristen found out she was the reason that she lost the case, she would use it against her and Brady with Rachel. Brady questions the judge being okay with this. Chloe admits she was weary but she sensed she was frustrated with the whole situation. Chloe adds that because of Kristen’s pardon, she couldn’t consider all the facts so she felt this untied the judge’s hands to make the ruling she wanted to make. Chloe knew it was risky but says she couldn’t stand by and watch Brady lose custody of Rachel to Kristen, so she’s not sorry for what she did. Brady tells her that she doesn’t have to be sorry for anything and declares that because of her, he will never lose his little girl. Brady tells Chloe how much he adores her as they kiss.

Jada remarks on Nicole not being very transparent. Nicole questions if she offended her. Jada questions Nicole asking if their phone mix up happened while they were in bed together. Nicole feels it’s a reasonable assumption. Jada says they don’t keep their phones in the bed. Nicole says she just pictured them waking up together. Jada feels Nicole is bothered by the fact that she is seeing her ex-husband. Jada brings up that Nicole is a newlywed and married to a great guy. Nicole claims she’s not bothered but just protective and she hopes they are right for each other. Jada mocks the idea of that making Nicole happy. Jada tells Nicole to be honest that she’s not rooting for them to be happy and that she’s hoping they fall apart. Nicole calls that not true but admits she overstepped by commenting on them waking up in bed together as whatever they do behind closed doors is none of her business. Nicole repeats that she already knew they were sleeping together. Jada brings up that Rafe mentioned Nicole came by to offer Eric a job. Nicole thought they would have more interesting things to talk about at the police station. Jada says this is interesting since the day after Nicole’s visit, Eric was just talking about looking for a photography job and how scarce the jobs are. Nicole says Eric was perfect for this job and they happened to have an opening. Jada questions why Eric didn’t mention this job since that’s what she told Rafe. Nicole questions if Jada is calling her a liar.

Craig asks Rafe if he’s asking him if he stabbed Sonny Kiriakis. Rafe responds that he’s just gathering information. Craig mentions just visiting Leo and he was going on and on about how he must have wanted payback for him breaking his heart and kept saying this accusation over and over. Rafe admits he’s aware of the accusation. Craig calls it the raving of a desperate man. Craig says Leo is accusing him of stabbing Sonny and murdering Abigail. Craig argues that Rafe can’t actually believe that he would be so blinded by hatred for Leo that he would take an innocent woman’s life and forget his oath to do no harm. Craig questions if Rafe actually believes Leo.

Will asks what Clyde is doing at the hospital. Clyde responds that he just got called in for a random drug test as part of his parole, joking that Will should know about that since he’s an ex-con. Clyde knows Will got his conviction overturned but he did serve time. Will remembers Clyde trying to shiv him in prison but then Ben tried to stop him and got the shiv instead. Clyde talks about Ben turning in to a stand up guy and now he’s trying to turn his life around as well. Clyde says he’s a changed guy. Clyde mentions that he and Nancy are about to get married, so Will congratulates him. Clyde tells Will to take care of Sonny and remarks that he’s really glad to hear they caught the guy that attacked him as it must be a real relief knowing that scum like that is off the street now. Clyde then exits the hospital.

Nancy asks Chad what it is. Chad remembers Clyde standing there when he saw Craig, so it must have been his cologne he was smelling. Chad asks where Clyde is now. Nancy informs him that Clyde is at the hospital taking his drug test and encourages Chad to get some of that cologne. Nancy asks Chad if he’s sure he’s alright since he’s as pale as a ghost. Chad claims he’s fine and says he just has to be somewhere, so he rushes off.

Jada tells Nicole that she never accused her of lying. Nicole feels she’s certainly insinuating it. Jada decides to just leave Eric’s phone and go but Nicole says not until she lets her explain. Nicole questions why she would lie to her husband about offering Eric a job if she hadn’t. Jada suggests maybe Nicole came to see Eric for another reason, but says she didn’t come to argue with her. Jada feels they are in a competition for Eric’s love and affection, even though Nicole is divorced and married to another man. Nicole argues that she’s not competing with her and repeats that she and Eric have a long history as friends. Jada understands that she’s protective of Eric, but she doesn’t get her being so protective of their relationship as if she’s not good for him or like he needs protection from her. Eric then arrives and asks what’s going on.

Craig tells Rafe that he did not stab Sonny or murder Abigail and he’s not a homicidal maniac. Craig adds that he wasn’t even in town when the attacks occurred. Craig says the fact that Rafe is listening to Leo is an insult and an outrage. Rafe asks if Craig would be able to provide an alibi. Craig confirms he would. Rafe says he’ll need one for September 1 and June 10 as well. Craig argues that he doesn’t know what he was doing three months ago. Craig says he’s often on call but doesn’t know where he is day to day. Rafe notes that could be a problem for him. Craig decides he will have his secretary check his schedule and get back to him. Rafe says the sooner, the better as Craig then exits the room.

Brady tells Chloe that he doesn’t have to pick Rachel up for about an hour and suggests they make their celebration official. They continue kissing until Nancy knocks on the door and interrupts. Chloe answers the door, so Nancy comes in and announces that she and Clyde are getting married today.

Chad goes to the hospital and asks Will how Sonny is. Will says he’s sleeping after having Alex visit earlier. Chad asks if he’s seen Clyde around anywhere. Will confirms that he just saw him here actually. Chad questions if he went in to Sonny’s room. Will says not that he saw but he was standing at the window and that he was here for a drug test. Will asks why and what’s going on. Chad reveals that he doesn’t think Leo hurt anyone and that it’s been Clyde this whole time. Will questions where this is coming from. Chad reminds Will of how they tried to help Sonny remember what happened and he said he smelled vanilla. Chad talks about smelling vanilla and at first, he thought it was Craig but then Nancy said that Clyde wears a vanilla cologne. Chad declares that it is Clyde.

Chloe is shocked that Nancy is marrying Clyde today and asks when this happened. Nancy responds that it was Clyde’s idea so they are going to get married at City Hall in an hour. Chloe questions why she is rushing in to this and argues there’s no reason to get married today. Nancy argues there’s no reason not to. Nancy declares that Clyde is the man that she wants to spend the rest of her life with, so she asks why not make it official as soon as possible. Nancy reveals that she’s here because she’d like for them to be their witnesses. Chloe asks if they can talk about it for a minute. Nancy says no because Craig will be there any minute which Chloe questions. Nancy explains that she asked Craig to come because she wants both of them to be a part of her wedding. Craig then arrives. Nancy hopes Craig is free to come to the wedding. Craig responds that he’s not sure. Chloe argues that even Craig thinks she’s rushing in to this. Craig clarifies that it’s not that but he’s not in a celebratory mood because he just got accused of murder.

Will and Chad go to Sonny’s hospital room and wake him up. Sonny asks what’s going on. Will informs him that Chad believes something that might prove who his attacker was. Sonny asks if it wasn’t Leo. Chad confirms he doesn’t think so. Will knows Sonny’s memory is hazy but they want to try to jog his memory again. Chad asks if Sonny remembers seeing Clyde Weston when he was attacked.

Eric calls it a surprise to see Jada. Jada explains that she thinks he has her phone. Eric checks and confirms that he does, noting that he didn’t even notice. Jada guesses it must be a slow crime day or else he would have gotten a barrage of text messages. Jada says she better get back to the office and tells Eric that she’ll see him at home. Jada kisses Eric and exits. Nicole asks Eric if he’s all set for the photo shoot downstairs. Eric questions if it’s just him or if things were very tense between Nicole and Jada. Eric asks if there’s something going on between them. Nicole admits there was some tension between them, so Eric asks why. Nicole admits that it’s because she lied to her husband and Jada called her out on it. Eric questions why she lied to Rafe. Nicole explains that she hadn’t told Rafe that she came to see Eric, so when he asked her why she did, she didn’t want to tell her current husband that she was dreaming about her ex-husband, so she told him that she offered him a job. Nicole adds that she felt bad about lying to Rafe, so she raced over to Eric’s place to offer him a job for real. Eric questions Nicole offering him a job to make her lie the truth which she admits to. Eric then declares that he quits.

Jada goes to the police station and apologizes to Rafe for being late as she had to run over to Basic Black to see Eric since they accidentally switched phones. Rafe asks how Eric’s first day there is going. Jada says so far, so good. Rafe is glad things are working out for him. Jada says she didn’t stay too long as she wanted to get to work and asks if there’s any update on the case. Rafe says there might be and brings up Jada having run ins with Melinda Trask. Jada notes that Melinda seems like a very tenacious prosecutor. Rafe worries that she’s too tenacious, especially if the suspect is innocent. Jada questions who they think is innocent. Rafe reveals it’s Leo Stark which shocks Jada.

Chloe questions Craig about Leo accusing him of framing him and calls that absurd. Nancy agrees that it’s totally ridiculous since Craig is an upstanding citizen and a doctor, so he wouldn’t hurt anyone much less kill anyone. Craig comments on Rafe buying in to Leo’s story. Brady argues that Rafe must know better than to believe anything Leo says. Craig says that Rafe questioned the hell out of him. Nancy repeats that it’s ridiculous, remarking that Craig is no more guilty than Clyde is since he was accused of killing Abigail too but he had an alibi, so he was innocent. Nancy declares that Craig and Clyde have both been unfairly accused.

Chad tells Sonny that Clyde wears a cologne that smells like vanilla, so he asks Sonny again if he remembers seeing Clyde that night. Sonny says he’s trying but there’s nothing. Sonny wishes he could see anyone but there’s nothing happening. Will continues to encourage him to take his time and try again. Sonny recalls being at the filing cabinet and hearing someone coming. Sonny says he started to turn. Will and Chad ask if he remembers something.

Nicole questions why Eric is quitting when he just started. Eric responds that Nicole just admitted that the job offer wasn’t legitimate and he’s not going to take the job just to ease her guilt because she chose to lie to her husband. Eric says he’s going to pack his things but Nicole stops him and asks him to listen. Nicole admits that initially she may have offered him the job to ease her guilt but they do really need him because there has been a lot of staff turnover thanks to Kristen. Nicole insists that they do need a photographer who she can trust and he’s definitely qualified. Nicole says as strange as her offer may have been, she still wants him here if he wants to work here. Eric admits that he does want to work here on the condition that she will be upfront with Rafe about them working together from now on, because the last thing he wants is to cause any trouble between her and her husband.

Jada questions Rafe thinking Leo Stark is innocent. Rafe clarifies that he said he might be, but as time goes on, the more he thinks so. Jada brings up all the evidence. Rafe says it’s hardly an ironclad case and there’s a possibility that Leo is being framed, but when Melinda settles on a suspect, she will try and push the whole case through without looking back. Jada asks what Rafe has in mind. Rafe wants Jada to look at all the evidence they have since she’s a fresh pair of eyes and might see something that he missed. Jada asks if he thinks there’s anything to Leo’s accusation of Craig Wesley and if Rafe is leaning in that direction. Rafe admits he’s not sure but he’s hesitant to lean in any direction without giving it a lot more thought. Rafe says he is going to check on Craig’s alibi while he wants Jada to go through all of the evidence to see if there’s any evidence that someone other than Leo committed these crimes.

Chad urges Sonny to remember if he saw anything. Sonny remembers seeing the reflection in the glass painting when he started to turn and confirms it was definitely Clyde Weston. Sonny questions why Clyde would do this to him. Chad declares that it’s not just Sonny since the knife he stabbed him with was the same knife used on Abigail which means Clyde murdered his wife.

Clyde gets dressed for his wedding and walks through the town square. While sticking the rose to his suit jacket, Clyde accidentally cuts his finger.

Nancy argues that it seems like the Salem police have accused everyone except the guilty party. Nancy is sure this will all go away as soon as Craig provides Rafe with his alibis. Craig hopes she’s right. Nancy assures that she is and then all of this will be over, but today is about her so she asks if they can just celebrate. Craig insists that he wants her to be happy. Nancy thanks him and says she really wants him there because they are still family. Nancy asks if there’s any way Craig can put aside all his worries to celebrate today with her. Craig agrees to come and be there for her. Nancy thanks him and decides she has to go get dressed so she’s not late for her own wedding. Nancy then exits the room.

Chad complains that they had Clyde in custody but they let him go. Will and Sonny bring up Clyde having an alibi that he was fishing on the docks and there was surveillance footage to prove that. Sonny is certain that he saw Clyde’s reflection, so he questions how that could be.

Rafe checks back with Jada at the station. Jada informs him that she might have something as she went back over Clyde’s statement about Leo selling him Abigail’s jewelry and it mentions his alibi. Jada says since she wasn’t there at the time, she decided to watch the footage herself of Clyde fishing on the docks at the time of Abigail’s murder. Jada reveals that there is a problem with it.

Chad asks Will if Clyde said where he was going after his drug test. Will confirms that Clyde said he was going to City Hall to marry Nancy today. Sonny questions what Chad is going to do. Chad responds that he’s going to the police to tell them what they learned and where they can find Clyde. Chad then exits the room.

Nicole tells Eric that she will be honest with Rafe in the future and admits she never should’ve lied to him in the first place. Eric questions why she did then and why she would lie about something as silly as having a dream about him cooking sloppy Joe’s. Nicole then admits that she lied to Eric too as she didn’t dream about that. Nicole reveals the dream she had about them was a sex dream which Eric questions. Nicole insists it didn’t mean anything and was just a dream. Eric then admits he lied too about the dream he told her that he had about her and that it was a sex dream about her too. Eric repeats that it was just a dream which Nicole agrees with. Eric decides he will see her downstairs and exits the office.

Craig tells Brady and Chloe that he is going to get ready for the wedding and will see them downstairs. Chloe stops Craig and argues that he can’t honestly think this wedding is a good idea. Craig responds that he just wants Nancy to be happy. Brady feels that’s a longshot with Clyde Weston while Chloe worries that it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Chloe asks Craig to help her stop this wedding.

Nancy comes out of the Salem Inn and runs in to Clyde. Nancy worries that they aren’t supposed to see each other before the wedding. Clyde reminds her that she had already seen him today so they can throw that tradition out the window. Clyde declares they are not going to have any bad luck. Clyde informs her that he passed his drug test and nothing is going to stop them from being husband and wife and sharing a wonderful life together.

Jada and Rafe go over the footage of Clyde fishing on the docks. Jada reveals that she went frame by frame and that the timestamp was off, which means Clyde did not have an alibi for the time of the murder.

Will asks Sonny what’s wrong. Sonny responds that Clyde Weston is still out there and worries about him coming back to finish him off. Will says if Clyde was trying to frame Leo, it wouldn’t make sense for him to go after him while Leo is still locked up. Will assures that Sonny is safe here and he won’t let anything happen to him. Sonny points out that it’s not just about him and it could mean that Clyde really killed Abigail. Will bets Chad is doing his best to convince the cops of that now.

Chad goes to the DiMera Mansion and removes a gun from the safe.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, Detective Hunter, I keep telling you Mrs. Hernandez, please call me Jada and I keep telling you Jada to call me Nicole. What brings you by, Well, I know it’s Eric’s first day here, so you brought him his lunch. No, uh, I meant that I hate to bother him, but I think he has my phone. This is his, I must have picked it up by mistake, Lynn, when you woke up in bed together this morning

and call purchasing and say that we need an extra order of that wool.

Okay, so how did things go with Bell? Well, my hand is cramping from all the documents I had to sign. It’s official. I have full custody of Rachel . Oh, I’m so happy for you, Brady and for Rachel.

I’m so, I’m honestly, I’m so overwhelmed, but I’m also surprised. I’m surprised with all that stuff that Kristen Dred up in the courtroom. I, I don’t know how the judge ruled in my favor, but, Huh. Well, hi.

So once you get back into Salem last night, uh, and when was the last time you saw Leo? Um, I think just now would’ve been, um, probably the morning after our, our boarded wedding. Ugh. Yeah. So you left town right after that? Mm-hmm. . Mm. When, Right back to New York when cut ties. I Could I ask where you were?

September 1st? I’m, I’m not sure why. Well, it’s nice. Sunny C was stabbed.

That’s odd. What? Well, all the time that Craig and I were married, he, he never wore after shave or cologne. Maybe he started wearing it after the, the two of you split up something that smells like vanilla. Oh, that would be a coincidence. Why do you, why do you say that? Because that’s what my fiance wears.

Clyde Wesson. Mm-hmm. , You know, at first I kind of thought it was feminine because it’s so sweet, but. You now? I kind of like it.

What? Nothing. I just thought that I smell Benoa.

Oh my God. Chad, what is it? What’s wrong?

Clyde.

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

Well, I happened to run into the judge in the hallway outside of the hearing. And I told her that we knew we can’t use Kristen’s past crimes against her because of her. Pardon? But I told her that I have evidence that she tried to assault me after she was released. You told the judge that she threatened to attack you with the letter opener?

Well, I didn’t give her the play by play, but I gave her the surveillance video from our office. I’m assuming she watched it. Why didn’t you tell me about that earlier? Because if Kristen found out that I was the reason that she lost this case, then she would use that against me with Rachel. And, and even worse, she would use that against you.

And I didn’t want Rachel hating you for being with me. I mean, that that poor kid has been through enough already. And the judge was okay with this. Well, she was a little. Wary, but I sort of sense that she was really frustrated with this whole situation and I think she clearly knew that there was a whole lot more that was going on that she wasn’t privy to.

But because of Kristen’s, pardon? She couldn’t even consider any of the real facts. So I considered this just helping un entire hands a bit so that she could make the ruling she wanted to make all. Look, I know, I know this was a bit risky, but I just, I couldn’t stand by and watch you lose custody of Rachel to that monster.

So I am not sorry for what I did, but I, I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you Sarah. Don’t, don’t, I don’t even want to hear you say sorry you didn’t have to be sorry about anything. You understand Because of you, I, I’m not gonna lose my little girl. I’m gonna have her forever. Chloe, I told you recently how much I adore you.

Well, that was very transparent. Transparent meaning what? The comments you just made. Or was it a question? Well, I, I suppose it was a, uh, rhetorical question that I already knew the answer to. What? Why are you looking at me that way? What way? Like, I’ve offended you so deeply. Look, you are the one that told me you had Eric’s phone and he had yours.

Yeah. And then total non sequiter, you ask if the phone mix up happened when Eric and I were in bed together. Well, it was a reasonable assumption. I, I mean, this image just popped in my head. That’s all. I had pictured these phones getting mixed up under the sheets or whatever. Eric and I don’t keep our phones in the sheets.

Well, I just, I meant that, you know, I pictured you and Eric waking up in bed together. So what, how is that transparent? Oh, come on. It does not take a strength to realize that you’re being bothered that I’m involved with your ex-husband. Which I might understand if it wasn’t for the fact that you are a newly way.

In fact, you are married to a great guy. In my opinion, I am not bothered that Eric has a girlfriend. I’m just protective and look, I really hope you two are right for each other, right? That would make you deliriously happy. Okay. Can we cut the sarcasm please? Well, can you be honest that you are not rooting for Eric and I to be happy?

In fact, you are waiting and hoping that we fall apart. That is not true.

Okay. I admit, I overstepped when I made that comment about you and Eric waking up in bed together. Okay? So whatever you two do behind closed doors is none of my business, but I already knew that you two were. Sleeping together. Yeah. Yeah. Because you told me when I dropped by Erics the other day. Right, right.

Um, that was when you came by to offer Eric the, uh, job, wasn’t it? Your husband had mentioned it to me. Wow. I would thank you. Two would have more interesting things to discuss at the station. Oh, but you see, this is very interesting. You see the day after you came to visit Eric, he was just talking to me about looking for a job, and he said he was looking for one as a photographer, which makes sense considering his vast amount of experience, which makes him the perfect hire for basic black, right?

But he didn’t mention that. In fact, he was saying how scarce these kind of jobs are. Oh, well we just happened to have an opening, and I get all that, but why didn’t Eric mention. I mean, especially since you just offered him the job. At least that’s what you told ra. Excuse me. Are you calling me a liar?

Um, I’m sorry. Commission. Are you asking me if I, if I stab son Cka? I’m just gathering information. Ah, information. About my whereabouts when the attack occurred. Yeah. Um, well I was, I was just visiting with Leo and his cell, as you know, and it was just going on and on about, uh, how I must have, you know, wanted payback for him breaking my heart.

That’s all he kept saying. Is accusations overcome? Um, yeah. I’m aware of the accusation, which are Arthur Raving, So Desperate man. As, as I’m sure you know,

Oh my Rav is Craig. He is accusing me of stabbing Sonny and murdering advocate. Aga dir, I.

Look, you can’t actually believe that I would be so blinded by, by hatred for Leo that I would, I would take an innocent woman’s life. I, I would forget my oath. Did you? No harm. Oh my God.

You believe him? Actually believe him.

What are you uh, doing here at Clyde? Well, as a matter of fact, I just got called in for a random drug test, you know, as part of my parole, which is something you should know a little bit about being an ex con and all. Not exactly. Yeah. I know you got the conviction overturned, but you did several time. You do remember when we shared an address at Statesville, don’t you?

It’s hard to forget. Um, seeing as you tried to. But then Ben tried to stop you and you ended up shing him instead. , isn’t it amazing how I just turned himself into a standup guy? You know, I’m trying to do the same thing. Does that, So, yeah. Ever since I got out, I’m doing everything I can to turn my life around.

You’re looking at a change guy. Oh, glad to hear that. I’d love to stay and chew the fat with you. But Nancy and I got a date, she and I going down the city hall and get hitch. Congratulations. Thank you. You take good care of that husband of years. Now. I’m really glad to hear they caught the guy that attacked him.

Must be a real relief knowing that scum like that is off the street. Now,

Chad, what is it? But I just re remember when I saw Craig Clyde was standing right there. So I must have been his clo I was smelling. That must have been it. You don’t have know what Clyde is now, do you? Um, he’s at the hospital getting his drug test. It’s a condition of his parole troll. But you know, if you really wanna get some of that cologne, you’re not gonna have any problem.

I know for a fact they sell it down at parents I’ll to get some, Huh? Chad, are you sure? You’re all right. You’re as Payless a ghost. I’m fine. I just, I I have to be somewhere.

I never accused you of lying, Nicole. Well, you’re certainly insinuating it. You know what? I’m just gonna leave Eric’s phone here and go. Not yet, not until you let me. Please.

Is Eric working at Basic Black or not? Apparently he is. Okay. Then why would I lie to my husband and tell him that I offered Eric a job if I hadn’t? Maybe because you came to see Eric for some other reason. Like what? You know what? I came to give Eric his phone and to get mine, I did not come here to argue with.

Nicole, it’s like, it’s like we’re some sick competition for Eric’s love and affection, even though you are divorced and married to another man. Jah, I’m not competing with you. And like I explained, aside from being married to Eric, we have a long history as friends and you know what? Because of everything he’s been through lately.

Yes. And you’re protective of him. I get it. You said it many. But what I don’t get and what I find insulting is that you being so damn protective of Eric and I’s relationship, it’s, it’s, it’s suggesting that I’m not good for him. Like he needs protection from me. I mean, you understand how that might make me feel.

You get the shoot all set up, hey.

What’s going on?

Of course, I didn’t stab Sunny K over Murderer Abigail Damir. Aside from the fact that I’m not a homicidal maniac, I wasn’t even in town. And those two attacks occurred. You know, the fact that you are listening to some grifter who takes advantage and prays upon people’s vulnerability, you know, this is an insult, it’s an outrage.

Still be able to provide an alibi.

Yes, of course. And not just for September 1st. I’ll need one for the night of June 10th.

and three months ago, I don’t know what I was doing. So was that a yes or no for the alibi?

You know, I’m, I’m, I’m up and on call. I don’t know where I’m practitioning from day to day. I, Well, that could be a problem for you. Yes. I’ll have my secretary. They’ll get my schedule and I will get back to you. Okay? Yeah. The sooner the better.

You don’t want what? I don’t have to pick Rachel not from school for about an hour. You wanna make this, uh, celebration official? What are we waiting for?

Kidding me? Maybe they’ll go away. Are you here? Mm-hmm. . Oh yeah. I doubt it. Yeah.

Oh sweetheart, I am so glad you’re here. Hello. Hello, Mother. How you doing, Nancy? Oh, I am just wonderful and I can’t wait to tell you both the news. Oh, what news is that? Hi, and I are getting married. Yeah, Mom, we know you told us last night, but I didn’t tell you the best part. We’re getting married today.

Well, hey, hey. How’s, how’s son? Uh, he’s sleeping. He had a visitor earlier, so we kind of knocked him out. Who, Uh, his brother Alex. Okay. You haven’t seen Clyde Wesson anywhere around, have you? I have actually Here he was here. It was kind of weird. Did he go into Sonny’s room? No, not that I saw, but he, I mean, he was, was standing here looking in, He said he was here for a drug test.

Why? Why? What’s going on? I don’t think Leo hurt anyone. I think he’s been Clyde Weston this whole time.

Wait, I’m sorry. You think Clyde was the one who stabbed? Sonny? Why? Where’s this coming from? Okay. You remember, remember yesterday when we, we tried to help Sonny recall what had happened to him when he was attacked. He said that he smelled vanilla. Okay. And then after I ran into Craig and Clyde at Horton Town Square, and, and I smelled it vanilla.

Okay? And then at first I thought it was, But then Nancy said that Clyde Weston wears a cologne and his smells like vanilla. Well, it’s him. You’re marrying Clyde today. When did this happen? It was Clyde’s idea. We’re going to be married at City Hall in an hour. , Why? Why are you rushing into this? You have no reason to get married today.

And I don’t have any reason not to. I mean, quiet is the man that I wanna spend the rest of my life with. Why shouldn’t we make it official as soon as possible? And that’s why I’m here. I’d really like the two of you to be my witnesses. So, um, could you go put on something nice? And you too, Brady? Mom, can we talk about this for one minute?

No. Your father is going to be here any minute. Daddy here. Well, I, I ask him to be here and being part of my wedding. I want both of you to be part of it. Let’s him now. Oh, Craig, you got my message. Please, please tell me that you are free to come to my wedding. Um, I, I’m not sure Nancy. See Mom, even Dad thinks you’re rushing into this.

No, it’s not that. It’s just I. I don’t feel like I’m gonna sell between mood. I just got accused of murder.

Hey, hey babe. Can you wake up? Wake up. Time to wake up. Hey Chad, what’s going on? Hey, Chad. Learned something that might, that might. Prove who your attacker was. It wasn’t la No, I, I don’t think so. So, I, I, Sonny, I know your, your memory’s hazy about what happened and, and who stabbed you. But we’re gonna need you to rack your brain one more time.

I mean, I can for a shot. Look, I, I need you do, do you, when you were attacked, do you remember seeing Clyde Weston?

This is a surprise. I think you might have my phone. I do. Um, yeah. I’m sorry. I didn’t notice. Must be a slow crime day. Yeah. Otherwise you would’ve received a barrage of text messages by now. Yep. Pretty slow day. All right. Well, I better be getting back to the office. I’ll see you right home. Yeah, definitely.

So you said you’re all set up for the shoot. We should head downstairs. Is it me or are things a little tense between you and Jay when I walked in? Tense? Yeah, tense. Not just a little but very. Is there something going on between you two?

Well, you’re right. There was some tension between Jada and me. Why? Because I lied to my husband and she called me out. You lied to rape about what? I hadn’t told him that I came by your place the other day. And when he found out, he asked me why. And I felt awkward telling my current husband that I’d been dreaming about my ex-husband.

So I didn’t tell him the truth. And I told him that I offered you a job and I felt bad about lying to him about that. So I raced over to your place to offer you a job. For real. So you offered me a job to make your lie become the truth. Something like that. Yeah. Well, there’s only one thing left for me to do.

I quit.

Sorry to be late. I had to run over and see Eric over at Basic Black. Everything okay? Yeah, no big deal. We had just Swiss uh, phones by mistake. , right? Yeah. So, uh, how’s his first day going? So far, so good. . Good. Good. Glad. Think you’re working out for him. Yeah. Well I didn’t stay too long, guy. I wanted to get to work.

Any news on the case maybe? Yeah. Um, so know you haven’t been here long, but you’ve had some honors with Melinda Trash, can’t you? I have. She seems like a very tenacious prosecutor. Hmm. Yeah. So might say a little too tenacious. Is that a bad thing? Oh, it can be. Yeah. You know, especially if the suspect is, I.

Wait, I’m sorry. Who do we think is innocent? Leo Stark.

So Leo actually accused you of framing him. He did that bastard. That is absurd, huh? You’re absolutely right’s. Totally ridiculous. You’re an upstanding citizen. You’re a doctor for crying out loud. Craig, you wouldn’t hurt anyone much less kill them. That’s not what the commissioner believes. Otherwise, he would not be entertaining.

Leo’s accusations. Wave. He must know better than to believe a word outta Leo’s mouth. Well, apparently he doesn’t, or he wouldn’t have questioned my alibi. This is ridiculous. You, you are no more guilty than Clyde is. He was accused of killing Abigail, but he had an alibi for the night. She was. He was innocent.

You and Clyde have been unfairly accused. Clyde Weston. Yes. Clyde Weston. He wears a cologne that smells like vanilla. I need you to think, Son. Do Do you remember seeing Clyde that night?

I’m trying. I I’m, I’m sorry. It’s just, there’s nothing. Are you sure? Yes. I mean, I wish I could see anyone. I mean, someone in my mind’s side, but there’s just, there’s nothing happen. Okay. Nothing happening yet, so just try, try again. Take your time. Stay calm. Try again.

Okay. Um,

okay, so I’m at the filing cabinet. I hear someone coming. I start to turn and what, what, what, what? Is it exciting? What is it? Do you remember something

you quit? Why you just started? Because you just admitted that it wasn’t a legitimate job offer. I’m not gonna work for basic black just to ease your guilt because you chose to lie to your husband. I’m wonder, go get my things. Wait, wait. Eric, please just listen to me for a second. Okay? Yes. Initially I may have offered you the job to, to ease my guilt, but we, we do need you here.

Trust me, we do badly because thanks to Kristen in her reign of terror, there’s just been a lot of turnover with our staff. But we do need a photographer whose work I can trust, and you are definitely qualified. So it was strange. This my offer may have been, uh, I still want you here. That is if you wanna work here.

Yes, I wanna work here on one condition. From now on, you’re gonna be up front with rave about us working together because the last thing I want is to cause any trouble between you and your husband.

You think Leo Stark is innocent? I said might be, but as time goes on, I am less and less sure that he’s guilty. Even with all the evidence, Well, it’s hardly an ironclad case, and there’s possibility that Leo is being frame. Okay. The problem with Trask, when she settles on a suspect, especially someone who looks reasonably guilty, well, she’s gonna try and push the whole case through without looking back.

So what do you have in mind? Wow. I want you to look at all the evidence that we have. You’re a fresh pair of eyes. Maybe you see something that I missed. Do you think there’s anything to Stark’s accusation? Craig Wesley, are you leaning in that direction? Honestly, I don’t know, but, uh, I am hesitant to lean into anything without giving it a lot more thought.

Now I am damn sure gonna check and see you on Wesley’s alibi. Yes. In the meantime, want you go through all of this with a fine tooth comb. See if there’s any evidence that someone other than Leo committed these crimes.

Sunny, Come on. Did you?

It was him. I saw him. He was Clyde Weston. Yeah, it was just his reflection in a glass of a painting, but it was definitely him, which he said, Clyde was the most stabbed me. Why would he do this to me, not just you? The fact that he stabbed you with was also used on Abigail. Which means he murdered my wife.

You know, it, it seems like the Salem PD has accused everyone except the guilty party. Okay. Craig, I’m sure all of this will go away as soon as you provide RA with those alibis that he wants. I hope you’re right. You’re right. I, I know I’m right. And then all of this will be over, but today is for me. Can we just celebrate me?

I want that for you guys. No one should be happier than you. Thank you, Craig. And I really want you there. I mean, we’re still family.

Is there any way that you can put aside all your worries and just celebrate today with me? Of course. I’ll come. Nancy, I want to be there for you too. Thank you, Craig.

What am I standing around here for? I gotta go get dress. Be like for my own.

That son of a bitch, they had him in custody and they just let him go cuz he had an alibi. That’s right. Yeah. He said he was fishing at the time of Abigail’s murder. And that’s why you accused my dad because Clyde said he was down at the docks and their surveillance footage to prove that. But I know that I saw his reflection.

How can I be,

How’s it going? I might have so, Tell me. I was going over Clyde’s statement about Leo selling him that jewelry and it mentioned his alibi, and since I wasn’t here when he was a suspect, I decided to look through the surveillance footage for myself. You mean the video of Clyde fishing on the docks At the time I abi Gill’s murder.

Yeah. And there’s a problem with it. Did client say where he was gone after the drug test? He did. He, he’s, he’s going to city hall to marry Nancy today. Char what

I’m tell what we learned and where they can find

of. I will be honest with Rafe in the future. I mean, I, I never should have lied to him in the first place. Then why did you, I mean, when you had a dream about a slow cooker raining, sloppy Joe’s all over me, why would you lie to Rafe about something so silly? Because I lied to you too. You lied about what?

I didn’t. Dream about you getting hit with sloppy joe’s.

The dream I had about us was it was a sex dream.

You had a sex dream about me. Wow. Well, I didn’t mean anything. It was just a dream. On interest of full disclosure, the dream I told you I had about you. Mean, I wasn’t just suddenly delivering singing telegrams. Not exactly. I lied to. Why would you lie? Because I had a sex dream about you too. I mean, but it was just a dream.

Right? Yes. It was just, just a dream. Yeah.

I wanna see you downstairs. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Well, I guess I should go get ready for your mom’s wedding. See downstairs, half an hour. Dad, wait. You can’t honestly think that this wedding is a good idea, Chloe, I just want your mom to be happy. You have always Clyde Weston Seems like a long shot to me, more than a long shot. It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Dad, please, please, you have to help me stop.

Clyde. Oh, Oh, no, it, it’s bad luck. You can’t see me before the wedding . Come on. We’ve already seen each other today. You can take that tradition and throw it out the window. Besides, we are not gonna have any bad luck. Did you pass your drug test the flying colors, baby? Hey, nothing gonna stop us from being the husband and wife and sharing a wonderful life together.

So there’s c. Yep. Fishing on the docks at the time of the murder, except what do you see? I’m stand. Whoa. But there was this split second there where it looked like a different number. I went frame by frame. It’s been scrubbed pretty thoroughly, but where it now reads 8:03 PM where the eight is, there’s a ghost of the number 11.

Which means Clyde doesn’t have an alibi for Abigail’s murder. After all,

you want any more? No, I’m good. No you’re not.

I Western still out there. Yeah, not for long, hopefully. But what if he comes back to finish me off?

If he was trying to frame Leo, it would not make any sense for him to go after you again. While Leo’s still locked up. You’re right. Right. You’re right. Yeah. You’re safe. You’re safe here. I’m gonna be here. I’m not. I’m not letting anything else happen to you, but this isn’t just about me.

And then do you think Clyde really could have killed that? Chad thinks so. And I’ll bet right now he is doing his damnest to convince the cops of that.

Update written by Joseph

Clyde and Nancy sit together at the Brady Pub and talk about being crazy about one another. They kiss until Clyde gets a text and complains about them being interrupted. Clyde informs Nancy that it’s his probation officer as he has to take random drug tests as a condition of his parole. Nancy hopes nothing is wrong. Clyde admits back in the day, he did some dealing but right now, her love is the only drug he needs.

Jennifer is at home and takes more painkillers until Jack walks in.

Leo sits in a jail cell, complaining that he trusted Gwen and thought she was his friend. Leo can’t believe Gwen ratted him out to the cops and argues that she was the one who helped him figure out who was setting him up. Craig then appears outside the cell and remarks that they say talking to yourself is the first sign of losing one’s mind. Craig asks if Leo is laying the groundwork for an insanity defense. Leo says he didn’t know Craig was back in town. Craig responds that he got back last night and that it looks like Gwen turned him in, but it looks like he sold her out first. Leo questions what he’s talking about. Craig says he’s been following the case and knows Leo steered the cops right to Gwen. Leo claims he had no doubt she would get out of it. Leo remarks that maybe he earned a little payback himself but warns Craig that he is going to burn in Hell for what he did.

Jack questions what Jennifer is doing. Jennifer claims she was just straightening Abigail’s picture on the mantle. Jennifer starts to cry and hugs Jack in order to hide the bottle of pills behind him. The doorbell rings so Jennifer tells Jack to get it. Jack says they’ll go away and that she’s more important. Jennifer says she’s just having a moment and encourages him to go see who it is. Jack then goes to answer the door while Jennifer hides her bottle of pills behind Abigail’s photo.

Alex visits Sonny in the hospital, bringing him balloons, candy, and a stuffed pony as he says he cleared out the gift shop for him. Sonny questions what Alex is doing here. Alex says he’s trying to make him feel better. Sonny responds that they both know that’s not what he really wants. Alex questions what he’s talking about. Sonny then accuses Alex of trying to steal his job and take over Titan. Alex responds that he doesn’t want his job and isn’t trying to take his job. Sonny questions if he was forced to step in as interim CEO then. Alex tells him that Victor practically begged him to do it. Sonny questions it being Victor’s idea for Alex to take over the company. Alex clarifies that it’s only until Sonny is back on his feet. Sonny says he’s reading that Alex is making big moves and acquiring other companies. Alex explains that he’s trying to do what is best for the company. Sonny calls him unbelievable. Sonny yells at him that he’s mad at him for taking over the company. Alex argues that Sonny should be thanking him because he’s busting his ass trying to keep the stock price up so he has a company to run when he gets out. Alex repeats that he doesn’t want Sonny’s spot in the company. Alex starts to storm out but Sonny stops him and apologizes. Sonny admits he’s just frustrated that he’s stuck here and he overreacted. Alex sits down and tells him that he only wants what’s best for him. Alex recalls how hard Sonny took it when Leo took him out the last time and now Leo took him out again, so he wants to help him make good on his second chance.

Craig claims not to know what Leo is talking about and says he did nothing to him. Craig adds that Leo is the one who tricked him in to believing that he loved him and then humiliated him on their wedding day. Leo says his words are dripping with scorn. Craig admits he was hurt, humiliated, and mortified. Leo says all of that turned him bitter and filled him with anger and resentment, so he dedicated his life to making him suffer. Craig questions if he’s somehow blaming him for his predicament. Leo shouts that Craig’s the reason he’s in here. Leo declares that he knows the truth and figured out that Craig is framing him for the attempted murder of Sonny and the murder of Abigail.

Jack returns to the living room with Gwen. Gwen greets Jennifer and apologizes for dropping by unannounced as she’s sure she’s the last person she’d want to see. Jennifer responds that she’s actually grateful that she came because it gives her a chance to thank her for turning Leo in to the police. Jack says they know that couldn’t have been easy for Gwen. Gwen says she’d like to say she turned in Leo for Abigail’s sake but she did have her own selfish motives since Leo falsely accused her of killing her sister and she was not about to let him get away with that, so she called the police mostly out of spite. Jennifer doesn’t care why she did it as all that matters now is that Abigail’s killer is in custody. Gwen responds that she wouldn’t be so sure about that.

Nancy shows Clyde the article about Leo’s arrest. Clyde says it looks like Leo got sold out by his best friend. Nancy is glad that Abigail and Sonny are finally getting the justice they deserve and that Leo is getting what he deserves. Clyde adds that Nancy and Chloe are safe. Nancy tells Clyde how much he means to her. Clyde says the same and comments that the ring looks really good on her finger. Clyde tells Nancy that he wants to marry her and he’s tired of waiting. Clyde proclaims that he’d like to get married today. Clyde jokes that he’s not sure he’s ever seen her at a loss for words. Nancy questions him wanting to get married today. Clyde says having dinner with Craig last night got him thinking and says Craig turned a deep shade of green when he saw that ring. Nancy admits he did look a little jealous. Clyde suggests doubling down and giving him a wedding to really be jealous about. Nancy questions wanting to get married today just to stick it to Craig. Clyde assures that he wants to because he loves her and wants to spend his life making her happy. Clyde thinks sticking it to the guy who caused her so much pain would just sweeten the deal. Nancy acknowledges that Craig would not be happy. Clyde jokingly asks if she’s afraid of Craig and questions what she thinks the big bad doctor is going to do.

Chad meets with Rafe in the interrogation room and informs him of his theory that Craig could be the murderer. Rafe questions what makes him think that. Chad explains that he and Will were with Sonny to try and help him remember what happened when he was attacked. Rafe mentions questioning Sonny himself and he didn’t see anyone. Chad clarifies that Sonny didn’t see anyone but he remembers smelling vanilla when he was attacked and then after that on his way home, he ran in to Craig, who offered condolences about Abigail. Chad states that Craig gave him a hug and then he got a strong whiff of vanilla.

Leo accuses Craig of killing Abigail and then followed him to the Titan office where he laid in wait to plunge the knife in Sonny’s back. Craig questions Leo actually thinking that he stabbed two people for him. Leo tells Craig that it’s just them here and asks Craig to talk to him. Leo encourages Craig to admit what he did.

Sonny gives Alex some of the jelly beans he brought him and calls it a performance bonus for the great job he’s doing while he’s stuck in the hospital. Sonny admits Alex is making some smart moves and he’s glad that Victor put him in charge. Sonny adds that he’s proud of him and apologizes for doubting him. Alex accepts his apology and hugs him. Stephanie then enters the room and asks if she’s interrupting a power lunch. Alex says they are just splitting some beans. Stephanie mentions just getting a call from a reporter asking for a comment about a new business deal. Sonny asks what about it. Alex suggests letting him handle this while Sonny rests but Sonny insists and asks what it is. Stephanie then reveals that they want to know why an LLC owned by Alex bought the company and then immediately turned around and sold it to Titan, which shocks Sonny. Stephanie asks if she said something wrong. Sonny recalls working on that deal for months and then losing it at the last minute to an unknown competitor and now he finds out it was Alex. Alex tries to explain that it’s not what he thinks. Sonny can’t believe he fell for this and accuses Alex of plotting against him ever since he got to Salem.

Jack questions Gwen thinking Leo is innocent. Gwen admits that Leo is anything but innocent but she doesn’t think he’s the one who killed Abigail. Jennifer asks why she says that. Gwen says she’s known Leo a long time and he’s been vocal about denying this from the start. Jack points out that it wouldn’t be the first time Leo has lied. Gwen agrees but she doesn’t think Leo has the stomach to stab someone. Jennifer questions basing this on Leo’s word. Gwen explains that when she and Leo were together before she turned him in, he swore that he was being framed and was awfully persuasive. Jack admits that he’s had his doubts as well as something about this never added up. Jennifer argues that there’s so much evidence against him and questions if Leo didn’t kill Abigail, then who did? Gwen reveals that Leo is convinced that it’s Craig Wesley.

Leo says a part of Craig must be dying to admit what he did, rub it in his face, and prove how smart he is. Leo asks if Craig wants him to beg for forgiveness. Craig tells Leo that he reeks of desperation and asks if he really expects anyone to believe his crazy theory. Leo responds that he does because they both know it’s true and he’s going to prove it which Craig laughs at.

Nancy tells Clyde that Craig does have a temper but she’s not worried about him getting mad. Clyde asks what the problem is then. Nancy explains that when they get married, she wants it to be the perfect time for them, not to get back at her ex. Clyde suggests they still get married today and just not tell anybody so it’s only because he can’t wait to make her his wife and will have nothing to do with Craig or anyone else. Clyde says it’s just him wanting to spend his life with her and calls her the best person he knows. Nancy then agrees and calls Clyde the best thing ever as they kiss. Nancy then adds that she does really want to have Chloe there and she’s going to want to have Brady there. Nancy then says she’s sorry but Craig should really be there too since Craig wanted her at his wedding to Leo. Nancy states that she and Craig share two beautiful daughters and a lot of wonderful memories so they will always be family. Clyde brings up all the pain he caused her and lies he told her. Nancy acknowledges that Craig has made mistakes, but deep down he is a good man.

Leo talks about Craig leaving Nancy and giving up his whole life to be with him, then on the day of their wedding, he found out he was lying. Leo mentions that Craig said he was hurt, humiliated, and mortified. Leo adds that Craig had given himself to him and then something inside him broke, he snapped, and that’s why he killed Abigail. Craig then grabs Leo through the cell bars.

Alex tells Sonny that he was not plotting against him. Sonny questions why he bought that company then. Alex responds that he bought it because Sonny almost blew it. Alex says that Victor said Sonny is not a killer and he’s not, but that’s okay because he’s here and saw an opportunity. Sonny argues that Alex just wanted to make himself look good at his expense. Alex questions if he seriously thinks that’s what he thinks this is about. Sonny remarks that Leo Stark is not the only person who stabbed him in the back. Alex warns that he’s crossing a line. Leo screams at Alex to take his gifts and get out of his room. Stephanie asks if they can talk about this but Alex walks out.

Clyde tells Nancy that he can’t wait to make her his bride, but admits he wishes that Ben, Ciara, and their baby were here with them. Nancy says they’ll celebrate with them another time but today is just for them. Clyde tells her how happy that makes him and says all they have to do is go to city hall and make it official. Nancy suggests Brady could be Clyde’s best man and Chloe could be her maid of honor. Clyde points out that Craig could be the witness and could even walk her down the aisle. Nancy wonders if he’d do it because she kind of likes the symbolism. Nancy decides to give Craig a call while Clyde says he’ll go take his drug test now so nothing spoils their day.

Chad suggests to Rafe that the vanilla could have been Craig’s cologne or aftershave. Rafe questions Chad wanting him to lock up someone else based on hunches and smells. Chad argues that he just wants the right person behind bars for murdering his wife. Chad would love to accept that it was Leo so he could start to get a little closure. Rafe wants that for him too. Chad brings up Leo having tons of enemies and ruining Craig’s life in a very public manner. Rafe questions the motive being vengeance and killing Abigail so that Leo would be locked up for a murder. Chad feels it’s not that crazy of a theory. Rafe agrees to look in to it. Chad thanks him and then exits.

Craig doubts anyone on earth would miss Leo if he dies in his cell. Craig shouts that he did not stab anyone and if someone is framing Leo, it’s not him. Leo calls him a scary, sadistic maniac. Leo says the look in Craig’s eyes is the look of a stone cold killer. Craig says if someone asked him a few months ago, if he thought Leo could kill or stab anyone, he would think they were crazy but he didn’t know him. Craig declares that he doesn’t know Leo and thanks God that Leo is out of his life forever. Leo calls him an excellent liar, even better than him. Leo states that Craig lied to his wife and to himself for his whole life, but he’s on to him. Leo questions Craig thinking he can frame him for murder and get away with it. Leo warns that he’s going to prove he is innocent and that Craig is guilty and when he’s done, Craig will be sorry he ever laid eyes on him. Craig responds that he already is sorry.

Jennifer argues that she’s known Craig for a long time and he’s hardly an angel, but questions him being a murderer and why he would kill Abigail. Gwen explains that Leo’s theory is that Craig was furious and humiliated from being duped by Leo so he went off the rails and was willing to kill for revenge. Gwen says if that’s the case, Abigail was just collateral damage. Gwen looks at Abigail’s photo on the mantle and says she knows how much she hurt her and she’s very sorry that she was unable to make amends for what she did to her. Gwen hopes that whoever killed Abigail pays for it dearly and she means that from the bottom of her heart. Jack thanks Gwen for coming and says he’ll walk her out. Jack tells Jennifer that he is going to the paper to check on the Orpheus story and then he’ll be back as soon as he can. Gwen tells Jennifer to take care as she exits with Jack. Jennifer then retrieves her bottle of painkillers from behind Abigail’s photo as Gwen comes back in, having forgot her purse, and sees her. Jennifer claims that she is taking antibiotics for a sinus infection but Gwen informs her that she knows what those are. Gwen talks about her mom hiding those bottles behind picture frames when she was growing up. Gwen says she sees in Jennifer’s eyes that it’s more than grief. Jennifer argues that Gwen has no idea what she’s going through. Gwen says she’s not judging her and she knows Jennifer is wanting to stop her pain. Gwen brings up Jennifer being an addict and being in recovery for awhile. Jennifer says that’s none of her business. Gwen reminds Jennifer that she did research her family before coming to Salem, but now she wants to help her. Gwen wants to go catch Jack but Jennifer warns her not to even think about it.

Stephanie apologizes to Sonny as she didn’t mean to cause trouble between him and Alex. Sonny says it’s okay as she didn’t know. Stephanie thought he knew about the deal Alex made. Sonny says he didn’t but he does now and he knows that he can not trust his brother and he never will again.

Alex goes to leave the hospital and runs in to Clyde getting off the elevator. Clyde says “watch where you’re going, son” while Alex responds that he’s not his son as Clyde walks off.

Nancy leaves the Pub and calls Craig, leaving a message that it would mean the world to her for him to be at her wedding. Nancy then hangs up and runs in to Chad, noting that she hasn’t seen him and she’s so sorry about Abigail. Chad thanks her and mentions running in to Craig yesterday. Nancy says he’s in town because of Leo. Nancy asks what Craig said to him. Chad says he just had some kind words about Abigail but he couldn’t help but notice Craig’s cologne or aftershave. Chad asks if Craig has always worn something that smells like vanilla.

Craig comes up to the police station from Leo’s holding cell where Rafe greets him and asks if he has a few minutes to talk. Craig asks what about. Rafe brings up that Craig was engaged to Leo, so he figures he knows him better than most people. Craig can’t imagine what that would tell him but says he’s happy to. Rafe then takes Craig to the interrogation room.

Alex goes to the Titan office where Stephanie is working. Stephanie informs him that Sonny is trying to get discharged to get his job back. Alex asks if he can tell her his side of the story. Stephanie asks if his side also includes him screwing over his brother. Alex guesses she’s on team Sonny. Stephanie argues that she’s team Titan and it’s her job to squash this mess before it becomes a story. Alex wants to help and invites her to lunch so they can figure it out but Stephanie turns him down. Alex reminds her that she bought him a drink the other day. Stephanie calls that a mistake and suggests they stick to business. Alex says this is business but Stephanie says she will handle it herself and exits.

Jennifer accuses Gwen of trying to rat her out to Jack after everything she’s done to her family. Gwen argues that Jennifer needs help. Jennifer yells at her to mind her own business. Gwen points out that Abigail wouldn’t want this for her. Jennifer tells her to never compare herself to Abigail and says Gwen has been nothing but a virus in this family. Gwen says that’s why she’s trying to make things better and she owes it to Jack to tell him. Jennifer argues that Gwen owes her and says Gwen only has a relationship with Jack because she allows it. Jennifer warns that if Gwen thinks about going to Jack with what she saw, she will make sure she never sees her father again. Jennifer then screams at Gwen to get the hell out of her house, so Gwen exits.

Nancy tells Chad that it’s odd because Craig never wore aftershave or cologne during their marriage. Chad suggests he started wearing it after they split up. Nancy says that would be a coincidence because vanilla is what Clyde wears. Nancy says at first she thought it was feminine, but now she kind of likes it. Chad then thinks back to Craig hugging him and remembers that Clyde was standing nearby.

Clyde fills out his drug test paperwork at the hospital. Clyde then gets up and looks in the window of Sonny’s hospital room. Clyde then flashes back to being the one who stabbed Sonny!

Oh dang. You think of Guy be able to have lunch with his fiance without getting interrupted, wouldn’t you? Is this everything? Okay? Uhs my probation officer. I gotta do these random drug tests. You know, there’s a condition of my parole. Nothing’s wrong, I hope. Oh, well, no. I mean, back in the day, I, I did a little bit of dealing, but right now your love is the only drug I need.

Jennifer,

I trusted you, buddy. I thought you were my friend. How could you wrap me out to the cops when you know I didn’t kill Abigail? You’re going to help me figure out who was setting me up. They say that. Talking to oneself is the first sign of losing one’s mind. Is that what you’re doing there? Laying groundwork for insanity to defense

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

Didn’t know you were back in town back last night. I heard one turns you in, but it looks like he sold her out first. What are you talking about? Come on, Leo. I’m following the. You steered the cops right to her, whatever. I had no doubt she would get out of it. Uhhuh. , okay. Maybe I earned a little payback myself, but what you did, you are going to burn in hell for it.

What are you doing? I’m just straightening Abigail’s picture. Remember how she always used to come over here and rearrange things? place for everything and everything in his place? Yeah, except our little girl is not in the place where she belongs, Sweetheart.

It’s okay.

You should get that. They’ll go away. More important. It’s okay. I’m, I’m just having a moment. Go see.

Jelly beans fancies. Remember we’re little kids we used to dare each other to eat. Know the little black licorice ones? What are you doing? How Alex Trying to make my little brother feel. How do you think I’m doing if we both know that’s not what you really want?

So you think I don’t make my kid brother feel better? What are you talking about? What I’m talking about is you trying to steal my job and take over Titan.

See, I don’t want your job, Sonny. I’m not trying to steal your job. I don’t want your job. Oh, okay. So you were forced to step in a ceo. Uncle Vic practically begged me to do it. Oh, right. Okay. So it was his idea for you to take over the company, Okay. Yeah. On an interim basis until you were able to get on your feet again.

Interesting. What’s that? Oh no, it’s just, um, From what I’m reading, you’re not just keeping my seat warm. You’re, you’re making big moves. I mean, word is you’re about to take over gcm and then after that you’re gonna acquire, uh, vision industries too. I’m trying to do what’s best for the company. Sonny

You what? You don’t believe me? No, you’re unbelievable. You know what? It’s just like when we were kids, Oh, let me watch your jelly beans for ya. I’ll keep ’em safe. Except when you gave them back. All the purple and red ones are gone. Serious. You’re so bad about me taking you Jelly B. No, that’s, I’m not about to taking over the company.

You should be thanking me for taking over the company son. Because while you’re laid up here on your back, I’m busting my ass trying to keep the stock price up so that there is a company for you to run when you get out. So you did this for me, I did it for the family. I don’t want your spot at the company.

Keep your damn jelly. Alex, Alex, look.

I’m sorry.

What was that? I didn’t hear you. I said I’m sorry. Okay. Look, I’m just, I’m frustrated that I’m stuck here and maybe I overreacted.

Baby, I overreact.

I only want what’s best for you kid. I remember how hard you took it when Leo Stark took you out last time, stopped you from getting a chance of running Titan. Now this guy took you out again. I wanna help you make good on your second chance.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. I did nothing to you. Oh, really? Yes. Really? You’re the one who tricked me into believing that you love me and then you humiliated me on our wedding day. Listen to you. Your words are positively dripping with scorn. They should be. I was hurt. I was humiliated, and, and mortified.

I still am, and all that hurt, humiliation, and mortification. It turned you bitter, didn’t it? Greg filled you with anger and resentment. So much so that you have dedicated your life to making me suffer

Are you somehow blaming me for your cur predicament? You’re damn right I am. You’re the reason I’m in here. What I know, Craig, I figured it out. You’re framing me for the attempted murder of and the murder of Abigail.

Hello, Jennifer. Gwen, sorry to drop in unannounced. I’m sure that I’m the last person that you’d want to. Actually, I’m, I’m grateful that you came. You are. This gives me a chance to Thank you. Thank me for what you turned your friend Leo into the police, and for that, I’m grateful. Oh, that we both know that that couldn’t have been easy for you.

Why? Well, as much as I’d like to say that. Turned in Leo for Abigail’s sake, I did have my own selfish motives. Oh, well you may remember that he falsely accused me of killing my sister, and I was not about to let him get away with that. You called the police out spite, right? Mostly. Well, you know what? I don’t care why you did it.

The only thing that matters now is Abigail’s killer is in custody. I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

Did you see this Leo Stark got arrested? Really? Huh? Well, It looks like your ex-husband’s ex fiance got sold out by his best friend. No. I’m just glad that Abigail and Sonny are finally getting the justice they deserve and that that murderous rodent Leo is getting what he deserves and that you and your daughter safe.

Oh, Clyde, if I told you how much you mean to me, I’m back at you baby. And you know that ring looks really good on your finger. Mm-hmm. , but I’m wondering maybe, maybe you could use a little more bling on that beautiful hand of ears. No, no. I love this ring. I’m talking about putting another band on a still cute little finger.

You mean? I mean, I wanna marry you and I am tired of waiting around. You wanna get married soon? Hell, I wanna get married today.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen you would’ve lost words before. I, I, I, I’m sorry. It’s just that you wanna get married today. Yeah. Having dinner with your ex last night call of thinking. Did you notice when he saw that ring on your finger? He turned that deep, deep shade of. Hm. He did look a little jealous, didn’t he?

Yeah, he did. So I’m thinking why not double down? Give him a wedding to make him really feel jealous about. Wait, you, you wanna get married today? Just to stick it to Craig? No, sweetheart, I won’t marry. Because I love you and I wanna spend the rest of my life making you happy. I wanna get married today to sweeten the deal a little bit, right?

As you say, sticking it to the guy that cause you so much pain. Well, Craig is definitely not gonna be happy. You telling me you are afraid of Craig ? I mean, what do you think the big bad doctor Wesley’s gonna do anyway?

So tell me why you think Craig could be the murderer. Will and I were with son and we, we were trying to help him remember what had happened when he was attacked. I questioned Sonny myself. He didn’t see anyone. I’m not saying he saw anyone. He didn’t see anyone, but he remembers right when he was attacked, smelling vanilla.

Vanilla. And, and then, and then after that, when I was on my way home, I ran into, And he was offering me condolences about Abigail, and then he gave me a hug and I got a strong with a vanilla. You killed Abigail and then you followed me to the Titan office where you laid in weight. Laid in weight, yes. And then you plunged that knife into Sonny’s back.

You actually think that I stabbed two. For you.

It’s just you and me here, Craig. Like pillow talk without the Saturn encased, goose down. Extra firms we used to lay our heads on. So talk to me. Love her. To love her. Admit what you did. I know you want to,

You know what?

Yeah. Consider this a, uh, Performance bonus for the great job You’re doing well. I’m stuck in there. Really, really, brother. Those are some smart moves you’re making. Seriously, I’m, I’m glad Uncle Vic put in charge. I’m proud of you. I, I’m sorry I ever doubt.

Apologi accepted. Bring it in. Bring it in. Bring it. Oh, oh, oh oh. Alex the back. No, my, That’s my back. Alex, Alex, Alex. Oh, it’s the bad back. I’m sorry. I’ve got the bad back. Yeah, I’m sorry. Hey. I love you, bro. I love you. Hello, ceo, Acting ceo. Hey, am I, uh, interrupting some kind of power lynch? Mm-hmm. . God just splitting some beans.

Um, well I just got a call from a reporter asking for a comment on the LA room systems deal. What about it? You know what, why don’t you just let me handle this pipe, Sonny. Rest. It’s rust. It’s fine. No, got it. Normal. I got it. What’s What’s gone? They wanna know why an LLC owned by Alex, bought the company and then turned around and immediately sold it to Titan.

Did I say something wrong?

I was working on that deal for months only to lose it at the last second to some unknown competitor, and now I find out it was you, son. It is not what you think it sounds like it’s exactly what I think it is. Oh my God. All this talk about how it was Uncle Vic’s idea, how he came to you. Are you kidding?

It was his idea. Really? I can’t believe I felt for this. This was your plan all along, wasn’t it? You have been plotting against me since you got to Salem.

You think Leon’s innocent Leo is anything that innocent but truly I I don’t think he’s the one who killed Abi. Why do you say that? I’ve known Matt a very long time and he has been quite vocal about denying this from the start. It wouldn’t be the first time he lied. No Leo lies like people breathe, especially if it’s to save his own skin.

But honestly, I just, I don’t think he’s got the stomach to stab someone. So you’re basing this mostly on his word. When he and I were in the motel room together, before I turned him in, he swore that he was being framed. He was awfully persuasive. I’ve gotta admit, I had my doubts too. I mean, something about this has never added up.

There is so much evidence against him. If Rio didn’t kill Abigail, then who? Well, he’s convinced that it’s Craig Wesley.

Go ahead, Craig. There must be a part of you that is dying to admit what you did to rub it in my face. Prove how smart you are. Don’t you want me to know it? To beg you for forgiveness?

Feel. Youre of desperation. What? Do you really expect anybody to believe this? This crazy theory of yours? Yes. As a matter of fact, I do, because we both know it’s true and I’m gonna prove it.

Craig does have a temper, but I’m not worried about him getting mad. Then what’s the problem? Well, when we get married, I want it to be the perfect time for us, not because I wanna hurt my ex. I mean, don’t you think there’s enough nastiness in the world right now without our adding to it?

Yeah. You are a Marvel, Nancy. How about this? We get married today, just you and me. We don’t tell anybody and it will only be because I can’t wait to make you my wife. It won’t be about sticking it to Craig or anyone else. It has everything to do with me wanting to share my life with you. Best person I know.

Okay. Really, really , you’re the best thing ever. Oh, maybe,

but I, I really wanna have Chloe there. Oh, um, okay. And she’s gonna wanna have Brady there. Yeah. And I’m sorry, but Craig should really be there. What you just said that I, I want Craig there, not because I wanna rub his nose in it, but for the same reason he wanted me at his wedding to Leo. We shared two beautiful daughters together and a lot of wonderful memories we’re family and we always will be.

So even after all the pain he comes, you and all the lies he told, Craig has made some mistakes in his life, but deep down he is a good man. You left Nancy. You gave up your whole life to be with me, and then on the day of our wedding, you found out I was lying. You were, as you said, hurt, humiliated, mortified.

You had given yourself to me, mind, body, and soul, and when you found out the truth, something inside you broke you, snapp. That’s why you killed Abigail.

I was not plotting against you. Then why did you buy the company? I bought it because you almost blew it. Excuse me. Uncle Victor said, You’re not a killer, Sonny, and you’re. But that’s okay because I’m here and I’m here to help you. That’s what I was trying to do to make sure that you didn’t miss out on an opportunity.

The only opportunity you saw was making yourself look good at my expense. Are you serious right now? You think that’s what this is about me trying to show you up? No. No. I think the Leo Stark isn’t the only person who stabbed me in the back. You’re crossing a line, brother. You know what, brother? You take your jelly beans and your horse and your balloons and get outta my room.

Get outta my room. Alex.

Guys, can we talk about this? Alex?

You know, I can’t wait to make you memorize, but I do wish that Ben and Sierra and the baby were here with us. Joy too. But we’ll celebrate with him another. Today is just for us. You have no idea how happy that makes me. Now all we have to do going down a city hall, make it official. Oh, you know, Brady.

Brady could be your best man. And Chloe could be my maid of honor. Sure. And Craig could be the witness. Hell, he could walk you down the aisle if you want. . Oh, unless you think that’s a little bit much. Oh, Craig giving me. Oh, I wonder if he’ll do it. I kinda like the symbolism. I’ll give him a call. ACEs.

Meanwhile, I’ll go get the stupid drug test taken care of. Now I don’t want to do anything wrong. I don’t wanna spoil a chance too. Have him hold you. Nancy Miller Seal, Death dues part. Maybe the vanilla was Craig’s cologne or, or, or aftershave. So you want me to lock up someone else based on hunches and smells?

Look, I, I, I just want the right person behind bars for murdering my wife. I, I would love to accept that it was Leo. Okay. Cuz maybe I could finally start to get a little bit of closure. Chad, I want that for you too. Then start asking the question. Leo has a ton of enemies. I mean, he, he ruined Craig’s life in a very public manner.

Okay. All right, so, So what’s the motive? Vengeance. He killed Abigail so that Leah would be locked up for murder. . It’s not that crazy of a theory.

Okay, Chad, I, I’ll look into it. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. It’s all I ask. Okay. Thank you.

For what you did to me and to so many other people. I don’t. There is one person on this birth that would miss you, the Diana self. Wow. I did not stab anybody. No one. And if someone is framing you, it is not.

You are a scary, sadistic maniac Look in your eyes. It’s a, it’s the look of a stone cold killer . What you, if someone had asked me a few months ago, uh, if I thought you could kill anybody or stab anybody, I was sitting crazy, but I didn’t know you. The truth is I don’t know you. I just thank God you are out of my life forever.

You’re an excellent liar, Craig Wesley, Even better than me. Excuse me. You lied to your wife and to yourself for your whole life, but I am on to you. You think you can frame me for murder and get away with it? I am going to prove that I am innocent and you are guilty. And when I’m through with you, you are going to be so sorry.

You ever laid those beauty lies on Leo Stark. I already am. Sorry.

I have known Craig a long time. He’s totally an. But a murderer, why would he kill Abigail? Well, Leo’s Siri is that Craig was furious when he found out he was duped. He’d given up everything for Leo and um, he was humiliated for it. So he sort of went off the rails and was willing to kill for revenge. Well, that was the case that Abigail was.

Collateral damage.

I know how much I hurt Abigail.

I’m very sorry. That I was unable to make amends for what I did to her, and I hope that whoever it was that killed my sister pace for it dearly. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I hope that you can find comfort from it. Thank you. Thank you for coming and uh, I, I’ll walk up with you. There. You’re going.

If you’re going somewhere. Yeah, I’m, I’m gonna go by the paper, see how the free story’s going, and I’ll be back as soon as I can. Oh,

take care, Jennifer.

Sorry.

Just taking the last of these antibiotics. Sinus infection.

I know what those are. Jennifer, you know, it’s not too long ago, I was a delivery girl for a doctor selling opiates. That’s not what these are.

You know, growing up my mom used to hide those little bottles behind picture frames too. First looking at you, I thought it was just grief, but then looking into your eyes, I could see that it was more than that. You have no idea what I’m falling through. No, I don’t. And I’m not judging you, but you are in pain and I know that you want to find something to.

Jennifer, you are an addict. You’ve been in recovery for a while now. That has none of your business. No, I know it’s not, but if you remember, I did do quite a bit of research on your family before I came to Salem looking for dirt that I could use to hurt your,

But now I want to help you. Yeah, you wanna help me? Help me. How? I’m gonna go catch Jack. Don’t you even think about it.

I am so sorry, Sunny. I didn’t mean to cause trouble between you two.

It’s okay. Didn’t know. I thought you knew about the deal, Alex. I didn’t.

I do know.

I also know I can’t trust my brother and I

talk about looking at gift horse in.

Hey, what my career going son? Not your son.

Hi, Craig. It, it’s n um, I’d really like you to be at my wedding. It, it would mean the world to me. Okay. Would you give me a call as soon as you get this? Thank you. Bye. Oh, Chad, I haven’t seen you since. I’m so sorry about Abigail. Thank you. So, you know, I ran into your ex yesterday. Oh, he’s in town because of Leo.

What did he say? Just had some kind of weird spot avenue. You know, I couldn’t help but notice his cologne. His cologne. Oh, maybe after shave. Has he always worn something that that smells like vanilla.

Hello, Greg Commiss. Hey, uh, you by any chance, have a few minutes to talk how well you were engaged to start. So, uh, I figure, you know, I’m better than most people. Uh, I can’t imagine what that would tell you, but Sure. Uh, yeah, happy to. Great. You know, um, when we head in there, yeah, have two.

Sonny’s trying to get discharged so he can take his job back. May I tell you my side of the story? That depends. Is your side also feature you screwing over your brother? You mean hogging all the best flavors of jelly beans or, I don’t think he finds any of this funny. See your team. Sunny. I’m Team Titan.

It’s my job to deal with this little mess you’ve made and squash it before it becomes a story. Why don’t you let me help us. Just grab some lunch. We’ll figure it out. I’ll pass.

You just popped me a drink the other day, which was a mistake. I think it’s best if we just stick to business. This is business. And I’ll handle it myself

after everything that you have done to this family. Now you wanna wrap me out to Jack? You need help Jennifer, Jack is your husband. You wanna help me? Why don’t you mind your own damn business? I saw you looking at Abigail’s photo. So she wouldn’t want this for you if she were here. She is not here, is she?

Tell him, Oh no. Oh no you don’t. You owe me. How do you figure the only reason you have any relationship with Jack at all is because I allow it.

If you had to choose between the two of us, you might dear would lose every time. So if you even think about going to Jack and telling him what you would imagine that you saw here, I will make sure that you’d never see your father again.

Now, get the hell outta my.

That’s odd. What. Well, all the time that Craig and I were married, he, he never wore after shave or cologne. Maybe he started wearing it after the, the two of you split up something that smells like vanilla. Oh, that would be a coincidence. Why do you, why do you say that? Because that’s what my fiance wears.

Update written by Joseph

Orpheus is in the interrogation room, handcuffed to the table. Steve enters, so Orpheus mockingly says he was waiting for one of the Justice League of Salem to show up and asks if he drew the short stick. Steve warns Orpheus that he’s giving him one chance to tell him what he did to Kayla, Kate, and Marlena.

Kayla is in Marlena’s hospital room, on the phone with Stephanie. Kayla claims she can’t make it to lunch because she’s swamped at work and that Steve is just as busy. Kayla sneezes but says it’s just her allergies. Kayla tells Stephanie that she loves her and will call her later as she hangs up. Kayla informs Marlena that she and Steve decided to spare Stephanie. Marlena notes that she and John made the same decision not to tell their children. Kayla is afraid to prescribe anything because they don’t know what they are dealing with. Kayla asks if John went home to get some sleep. Marlena responds that John said he had something to take care of.

Belle has John on the stand at Brady and Kristen’s court case. Belle asks John to tell them what kind of man and father that Brady is. John is distracted as he thinks back to Orpheus warning that they will stand by and helplessly watch the women they love leave them and then they know what he felt when they took his Rebecca. Belle asks John if he heard the question. Brady calls out to John. John wipes a tear from his eye then snaps out of his distraction and asks if they said something.

Roman goes to Kate’s hospital room and finds her getting dressed. Roman questions what she’s doing. Kate responds that she’s getting dressed to get the hell out of here.

Chloe goes to the police station where Shawn asks her what’s wrong. Chloe tells him that it’s about Philip. Shawn asks if she heard from him. Chloe says she hasn’t and no one has in almost a year but Kristen is using that by dredging up the investigation to make it seem like Brady killed him just to get custody of Rachel. Shawn is not surprised that Kristen is doing something vicious, vile, and disgusting to get her way. Chloe complains that she hates Kristen and that she’s floating it out there that Brady might have killed Philip. Chloe argues that Kristen doesn’t care about Rachel and all Brady can do is deny it. Chloe worries about Kristen getting away with this and Brady losing Rachel. Chloe hoped Shawn would go back to the hearing with her to tell the judge that Kristen is wrong and that Brady did not kill Philip. Shawn responds that he can’t do that. Chloe questions why not since he knows Brady wouldn’t do that and questions if he wants Kristen to take Brady’s daughter. Shawn argues that he’s an officer of the law and Philip’s disappearance has been classified a cold case, so he’d have to testify to that. Chloe declares that Kristen will win again then.

The judge asks if John needs a moment. John apologizes and says he just gets a little emotional when he hears someone question what type of father Brady is. Belle asks him to elaborate on that. John brings up when Kristen was in prison, all Brady did was take care of Rachel and he never said a bad word against Kristen and tried to shield Rachel from what other people were saying. John adds that Brady was desperate to never let Rachel find out that Kristen stabbed her great-grandfather right in the chest. John says with all that going on, Brady made sure that Rachel got to see Kristen as much as possible and always put Rachel first which is what good parents do. Belle thanks John and sits down. The judge asks if Kristen has any questions for John. Kristen announces she has one for the court. Kristen says John is here to testify to Brady’s character, but questions if John is a good judge of character. Kristen brings up John’s wife going on a three month crime spree and he didn’t seem to notice, suggesting that John only sees what he wants to see and turns a blind eye to the rest.

Roman tells Kate that she can’t leave as they don’t even know what’s wrong with her. Roman argues that the lab is working 24/7 on finding out what Orpheus infected them with. Kate says they can call her then and she’ll come back, but until then, she wants to be home with Roman.

Orpheus asks Steve how the girls are this morning. Steve responds that he’s not here to play games and says he’ll get straight to the point as he holds a pen towards Orpheus.

Roman warns Kate that he’s making a big mistake as she has no idea what’s wrong with her. Kate complains about sitting in this room waiting because it seems like she’s already dead. Roman hugs her. Kate says she doesn’t want sympathy. Roman says it’s love. Kate apologizes for doing this impulsively instead of trying to explain it to him. Roman just wants Kate somewhere that she can get help. Kate doesn’t feel like herself here and if she only has a short time left, she doesn’t want to spend it like this. Kate asks Roman to understand, but declares that she is leaving whether he does or not. Kate then exits so Roman reluctantly follows her out.

Orpheus laughs at Steve threatening him with a pen. Steve warns that if he jams the pen in to his carotid artery, it will go straight to his brain, killing him instantly and that’s what’s going to happen if he doesn’t tell him what he did to Kayla.

Marlena finishes a call with a patient while trying not to cough. Kayla warns that she really shouldn’t be working. Marlena feels Kayla should feel the same. Kayla points out that Marlena’s immune system took a bigger hit than hers. Marlena wants to distract herself from the custody hearing. Kayla understands but doesn’t know what judge in the world would grant custody of a child to Kristen DiMera.

Belle argues that Marlena is not on trial. Kristen argues that Marlena threatened to kill Doug and Julie while John didn’t even seem to notice. Kristen goes over everything Marlena did while possessed. Brady calls her a hypocrite. John argues that they both know Brady is a good father. Kristen questions his standards since John is married to a woman who threatened to murder Ciara’s relatives with torches if they tried to prevent her kidnapping. Belle argues that Marlena was not in her right mind when these alleged acts took place. Kristen mocks the Devil making her do it again and asks if Belle was possessed too. Belle says the Devil framed her. Kristen questions these being the people that she is supposed to trust her daughter with. The judge warns Kristen that she is skating on thin ice and tells her to either move on or sit down. Kristen apologizes and says she just has one more question. Kristen then asks John where Marlena is today and why she isn’t here supporting her stepson. John then reveals that Marlena could be dying right now and calls Kristen a miserable bitch.

Roman and Kate go to the Brady Pub to eat. Kate knows he’s mad at her. Roman thinks what she is doing is stupid and totally irrational but says he has no right to be mad and that he didn’t fall in love with her because she was rational. Chloe approaches and apologizes for interrupting. Kate says it’s nice to see her which makes Chloe question what is wrong with her. Roman says if she came by because of Clyde and Nancy, they don’t like it either but there’s nothing they can do. Chloe clarifies that this isn’t about Clyde, but she was hoping for Kate’s help for Brady. Chloe asks Kate to testify at Rachel’s custody hearing and to tell the judge that she doesn’t think that Brady killed Philip. Kate is shocked and thinks back to telling Roman the truth about knowing where Philip is.

The judge calls a recess for one hour. Belle and Brady question John about what is going on with Marlena. John says he’s sorry but she’s really sick. John explains that Orpheus didn’t just kidnap Marlena, Kate, and Kayla, but he infected them with some kind of violent toxin. Brady questions why he didn’t tell them. John explains that Marlena didn’t want them to be distracted and worried about her while this is going on. Belle declares that she has to see her. John says he was on his way there, so Brady decides he’s going with him. Kristen stops Brady and asks him to please wait. Brady tells John and Belle to go ahead and he won’t be long. They warn Brady not to let Kristen goad him as they exit. Brady then asks Kristen what she wants.

Kayla urges Marlena to try to get some sleep but Marlena says she can’t sleep without knowing what’s going on at the custody hearing. Kayla thinks John’s testimony will really help. Marlena worries about John since he was trying to sleep in the chair, but she could hear him having nightmares all night. Marlena imagines Steve is going through the same thing. Kayla reveals that Steve has gone to see Orpheus. Marlena worries that won’t help. Kayla says she couldn’t tell Steve to be patient and wait. Marlena remarks that they are both married to men of action. Kayla admits to being scared of what Steve is going to do.

Steve tries to stab Orpheus with his pen until Shawn walks in and questions what the hell he’s doing. Shawn pulls Steve off. Orpheus complains that Steve is trying to kill him. Shawn warns Steve that ending up in a jail cell won’t help anyone. Orpheus threatens to press charges as Shawn forces Steve out of the room.

John brings Belle to Marlena’s hospital room. Belle hugs Marlena. Marlena questions John telling her. John says it just kind of slipped out. Belle questions them not even knowing what it is. Kayla says they are working on it and goes to check with the lab. Belle tells Marlena that she can’t lose her. Marlena assures that she’s not going anywhere as they hug.

Kristen tells Brady that she just wants to say she’s sorry about his mom. Brady mocks her. Kristen says she didn’t know Marlena was will and if she had, she never would have pushed John like that. Brady argues that she would’ve thrown it in his face. Kristen tells Brady to drop the high moral tone and complains that he has his whole family behind him to keep her from Rachel, so he can’t expect her not to fight for her. Brady says she can drop the whole fighting for her daughter act as this is not about Rachel but about Kristen’s sick compulsion to win. Brady calls Kristen her father all over. Kristen warns him to imagine what she’d do to keep her own daughter. Brady argues that it’s not about Rachel to her, but about ownership. Brady says there was a very low point where he thought they could share custody but after seeing her behavior in the court room, he will do anything to keep Rachel safe from her. Brady then storms out of the room.

Chloe tells Roman and Kate that the idea of Brady killing Philip is like a black cloud looming over the court room because of Kristen. Roman questions her thinking that Kate could help. Chloe explains that when Brady denies everything, Kristen just looks at the judge, while the judge would believe Kate as Philip’s mother. Kate says they don’t know that’s true. Chloe knows she’s asking a lot and that it’s very painful for her to talk about Philip. Kate agrees to think about it. Chloe remarks that it’s just the life of a little child on the line and apologizes for interrupting their breakfast. Chloe then exits the Pub. Roman tells Kate to go upstairs and rest when she finishes breakfast because he’s going to tell the judge that Philip is alive.

Shawn questions Steve as to what that was about. Steve responds that he was going to kill Orpheus but Shawn stopped him. Shawn argues against that being a good idea. Steve says he shouldn’t have stopped him. Shawn reminds him that Orpheus is in police custody, so he can’t hurt anyone anymore. Steve says that is just not true.

Brady goes to Marlena’s hospital room and asks how she feels. Marlena says she’s just a little tired and that she didn’t want them to know about this. Brady says they had to. Marlena insists that she’ll be just fine. Marlena asks Brady and Belle to go back to the hearing and fight like hell for Rachel. John jokes that they better do what she says because she never swears. Brady hugs her and says he loves her. Belle gets a text from the court that recess is almost over. Belle says she’ll be back as soon as she can. Belle and Brady then exit together. John tells Marlena that they did good with their kids.

Kate pleads with Roman not to do this to her because if he tells the judge that Philip is still alive, then the FBI will track him down and put him in prison when all he needs is help. Kate says Philip is getting better but he can’t deal with this as this will put him over the edge and she will lose him. Roman declares that he can’t stand by and let Kristen take Rachel away from Brady as that would be wrong on every level. Kate offers to go to the judge and say she doesn’t think that Brady killed Philip. Roman warns her to think about what Rachel’s life would be like with Kristen. Roman says if Kate does this to help Brady, he would ask for leniency with Philip. Kate argues that they don’t know that. Roman complains that Brady didn’t deserve what Philip did to him and he doesn’t deserve to lose his daughter because of it. Kate calls that unfair because Philip is her son. Roman knows she’s in a difficult position and relates to Sami being his daughter. Roman decides it’s Kate’s call and agrees not to say anything about Philip unless she tells him to, so he tells her to think about it.

Chloe goes to the court room where Kristen reminds her that she was advised to stay away. Chloe says she just needs a word with Brady. Kristen points out that he’s not there. Chloe asks if she knows where he went. Kristen remarks that if Brady wanted her to know, he would’ve told her. Kristen thinks Brady has enough on his mind that he doesn’t need Chloe stalking him. Chloe mocks Kristen breaking out of prison dressed as Susan Banks and talking about stalking. Kristen says she has to do what she has to do. Chloe asks if she means like trying to convince her newly returned from the dead brother in to seducing her. Kristen claims not to know what she’s talking about. Chloe tells Kristen that she and Brady saw right through her plan. Kristen tells her that she needs to go over her closing argument and heads back in to the court room, shutting the door behind her. Chloe turns around and runs in to the judge, so she asks to speak to her for a second.

John tells Marlena about how he called Kristen a miserable bitch in court because she kept pushing his buttons until he lost it, but he hopes he didn’t lose the case for Brady. Marlena assures that the judge saw through what Kristen was doing. Marlena brings up how she feels about Kristen but admits to knowing that Kristen loves Rachel, so she can’t imagine that Kristen would put her own needs above her child. Marlena starts coughing so John offers to call Kayla. Marlena tells him that Kayla is trying to get the test results from the ISA lab. John hopes that they can finally find out what this is.

Steve goes to the hospital and finds Kayla coughing, so he urges her to go lay down but Kayla insists that she’s fine and asks how it went with Orpheus. Steve admits he got nothing and apologizes. Kayla says she didn’t have high hopes but asks if he’s still alive. Steve asks if Shawn called her. Kayla says no but she didn’t think Steve would be polite. Kayla questions what he did. Steve claims he just tried to persuade him to tell him what he did to her. Kayla then gets a call from the lab.

The judge resumes family court and asks if Belle has any more witnesses. Belle says no, so the judge asks for the closing argument. Belle concludes that it’s in Rachel’s best interest that she remain in the custody of her father, who has provided a loving, stable, and sane environment no matter what kind of chaos Kristen has created. The judge then calls on Kristen for her closing statement. Kristen says it would be dangerously wrong to leave her daughter in the custody of a man who is so obsessed with Chloe, that he would kill his own uncle to be with her. Roman then enters the room and introduces himself, announcing that he has something to say that he is sure will be relevant to this case.

Kate goes to her room and calls Philip. Kate says it’s good to hear his voice and he sounds so much better. Kate tells Philip to go to his therapy and claims she was just calling him to tell him that she loves him. Kate says goodbye and hangs up.

Kristen protests Roman barging in to give one sided statements when both sides have rested their case. The judge questions why she’s so sure Roman’s statement would be in favor of Brady. Kristen complains that Roman and his whole family hates her. Belle wants to hear what Roman has to say, but the judge declares that is not going to happen. Roman pleads but the judge informs him that he’s too late as she has already made her decision.

Shawn enters the interrogation room where Orpheus complains that he might need medical attention. Shawn assures he will be fine. Orpheus accuses him of putting personal feelings over professional. Shawn argues that if that was the case, he would pound the crap out of him for terrorizing his aunt. Orpheus argues that he’s punishing the innocent women to punish their guilty significant others. Orpheus declares that they will watch the women they love die and then he will finally be avenged.

Kayla and Steve go to Marlena’s hospital room. Kayla announces that the ISA lab is having a hard time figuring out what is wrong. Kayla then faints in to Steve’s arms.

Roman goes to Kate’s room. Kate asks what happened and if he told them about Philip. Roman reveals that it turns out, he didn’t have to because the judge had already decided to rule in Brady’s favor.

Brady and Belle hug as Brady questions if that really happened. Kristen calls it an outrage, arguing that Rachel belongs with her. Belle responds that the court doesn’t think so. Belle warns Kristen that any interference or harassment will lead her to criminal court. Chloe enters the room. Brady informs her that he has full custody and hugs Chloe. Kristen accuses Chloe of doing this and that’s why she was around earlier. Brady tells Kristen that she did this by showing the judge exactly who she is, which he thinks was a big mistake. Kristen questions what exactly Chloe did. Chloe thinks back to asking to talk to the judge. The judge told her that she couldn’t talk to her outside of court but Chloe provided a video of Kristen trying to kill her in her office. The judge said it should’ve been presented to evidence but Chloe explains that she couldn’t because if Kristen knew, she’d try even harder to make their lives miserable and turn Rachel against her. Chloe asked the judge to just watch the video and make her own decision on if a woman like that should be responsible for raising an innocent child. Chloe then tells Kristen that she guesses the judge put the child first. Kristen warns that this isn’t over and exits the room. Brady feels like he can breathe again as Rachel is going to be okay and they are all going to be okay as he hugs Chloe and Belle.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Finally, I was waiting for someone from the Justice League of Salem to show up. Guess Cyclops drew the short straw.

I’m gonna give you one chance to do what? Tell me what you did to Kayla, Kate and Marla.

No, I’m sorry. I, I I can’t make it for lunch. I just, I, I’ve just swamped at work. No, your dad’s just, he’s just as busy as I am. No, no, no, no. It’s just my allergies. My allergies are acting. Listen, I, I love you and I will call you later. Alright. Okay. Okay. Bye-Bye. Oh gosh, Stephanie. Yeah. Uh, Steve and I decide there was no point in scar.

Her, John and I made the same decision not to tell the children. Yeah, I just feel.

It is really long. It just isn’t full of closure. Oh my gosh. Aren’t we a parent? Well, I’m just afraid to prescribe anything because I don’t know what we’re dealing with. Uh, did John go home and try to get some sleep? Uh, no. No. John said he had, I think he had to, to get done.

Mr. Black, we heard from your son’s sponsor, Maggie Horton Carus about his commitment to his sobriety. Can you tell us what kind of man he is, what kind of father he is?

Mr. Black. You three will stand helplessly by and watch the women you love leave you.

And then you’ll finally know what I felt when you took my Rebecca, Mr. Black. Did you hear the question?

Okay.

I’m sorry. Did you,

What are you doing? What do you think I’m doing? I’m getting dressed to get the hell out of here.

Job. Hey. Hey Chloe. What’s up? Is everything alright? No, everything is not alright. What’s wrong? It’s about Philip.

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

Phillip, like, have you, have you heard from him? No, I haven’t heard from him. No one’s heard from him in almost a year. No one knows what happened to. And Kristen, she’s using that, how she’s dredging up the fact that you guys investigated Brady, making it seem like he killed Philip only to get custody of Rachel.

Yeah, well, imagine that Kristen coming up with something vicious, vile and, and disgusting just to get her way. Yeah, I just, I just, I hate her that she’s floating that out there, that Brady might have killed Philip. Like she really cares about Rachel. She’s using the Worried Mother Act because she knows that we can’t argue back.

The only thing Brady can do is deny it, but the more he does, it just starts to sound lame. Sean, if, if Brady loses Rachel? If, If Kristen gets away with this. Okay, Chloe. Okay. Just sit down for a minute. Okay? Yeah,

I just. I, I was hoping that you would go back to the hearing with me and tell the judge that Kristen is wrong, that Brady did not kill Philip. Chloe. I can’t do that. Why not? You know, Brady, you know, he would not do this. Do you want Kristen to take his daughter from that? No. I am an officer of the court here.

All right, and, and, and Phillip’s disappearance. It’s been classified as a cold case, so I’d have to testify to that.

Well, then she wins that bitch wins again.

Used black. Do you need a moment?

Uh, No, No. Uh, no. I’m sorry, Your Honor. Um,

I get a little emotional when I hear so in questioning what type of father breed he is, could you elaborate on that? I can, uh, I can give you an example. Yeah. When Chris and Damira was, um, Was in prison or kidnapping, or was it attempted murder? Mr. Black, Be careful, I’m sorry. Anyways, when she was away doing time in prison and so many people were appalled at all of the things that she had done, I, I’m, what I’m meant to say was all of the.

Things that she allegedly had done, All Brady did was take care of Rachel personally. He, he never said a bad word against her mother. He always tried to shield her from what other people were saying, but most importantly, he was desperate. But little Rachel never found out that her mommy. Stabbed her great granddad Vic, right in the chest.

Sister black. I’m sorry, sorry, sorry. It’s just with all that going on, Brady made sure that, that Rachel got to see her mommy as often as possible. He always put Rachel’s feelings first. It isn’t that what good parents really do anyway.

Thank you Ms. Damara. Do you have any questions for Mr. Black? Actually, I have one for the court.

Mr. Black is here to testify to Brady’s character, right? Yes. And that’s appropriate. But is he a good judge of character? His wife went on a three month crime spree and he didn’t even seem to notice. So isn’t it possible that he only sees what he wants to see and turns a blind eye to the rest?

Case you can’t leave. We don’t even know what’s wrong with you. Okay, so is knowing going to make a difference? Yes. Dam it. The ISA medical. Lab is working 24 7. When they identify what Orpheus infected you with, okay, Then they can call me and I’ll come back. But until then, I wanna be at home, hopefully with you.

How are the girls this morning? Little green around the gills.

I’m not here to play games. So get straight to the point.

Okay. Think you’re making a big mistake. Well, I don’t, Yeah, of course you never do. You have no idea what’s wrong with you. You have no idea what’s coming. You’re right. I don’t, and it really galls me just to be sitting around in this God forsaken room waiting because, because it seems like I’m already dead.

God rabbit, I, I don’t want sympathy. I just don’t I, Or sentiment. It’s not sentiment. It’s love. I know it is. I’m sorry, I, I’m doing this the way I always do it, which is impulsively and I, I should have told you or tried to explain it to you and it’s just not fair. I know, Kate. I don’t care about what’s fair.

I just want you someplace where you get help. I’m not me here. Okay. And if I have a short. I don’t wanna spend it like this and asking you to understand Roman, but I’m leaving with you too.

This is funny to you. Yeah, Yeah. It amuses me that only you would be dumb. Sorry, literal enough to actually believe that the pen is mightier than sword . Oh, but it now, I couldn’t get a sword past those cops out there. No one questions a pen, even though if I jam this into your carotid artery. An air bubble.

Your brain killing you. And what’s, if you don’t tell what you did to Kayla?

Michael, you’re doing just great. Yeah, I, You’re doing everything you need to do right now. It’s a process, you know, overcoming a agoraphobia is a process and, and you, you have to take it one step at a time. And that, that, that cliche really is true. The first step is the hardest. Sorry. And you’ve taken that already.

Yeah. I’m very proud of you and, Okay. Call me anytime you need. Bye. You know, you really shouldn’t be working.

Said the pot to the kettle. Your immune system took a bigger hit than mine. Yeah. Did. I’m just, I, I’m, I’m just trying to get myself distracted from what’s going on. The custody hearing. Yeah. I know it’s bad name, but I don’t know what judge in the world would a grant custody of a child to Kristen Damara.

Fuck, Your Honor. The witness’s wife is not on trial, but his judgment is his wife stopped and threatened to kill two prominent citizens. Doug and Julie Williams. That is not relevant. It’s relevant that at the time he didn’t even seem to notice, and even when that what she did is a matter of public records.

He’s still married to her. Apparently he’s pretty easygoing when it comes to right and wrong. She assaulted her own son-in-law, locked my brother’s mother in the Crip. She locked you up in the Crip, John. But hey, to air is human right. I hope you choke on your hypocrisy. Be careful. Mr. Black, you said that your son is a good father.

We both know that he is, but what kind of standards are you applying? I mean, you are married to a woman who threatened to murder Sierra Weston’s relatives with torches. If they, if they tried to prevent, said woman from kidnapping her. I mean, John, you don’t set the bar very high, do you? Your Honor, my mother was not in her right mind when these alleged acts took place.

Oh, right. The devil made her do it again. Oh, and were you possessed by the devil as Wellness Grady? Objection. The devil framed me. Said, Are you, Are you listening to this, Your Honor? I mean, these people are the ones that I’m going to trust with my daughter this Damir. You are skating on extremely thin ice.

Move on or sit down. Okay, sorry. I apologize, Your Honor. Just one more question. John, can you tell the court where Dr. Evans is today? I mean, why isn’t she here supporting her stepson, who she claims she loves like her own child? Because at this moment she could be dying. You miserable bitch.

I know you’re mad at me. No, I’m not. Liar. Okay. I am mad. I think what you’re doing is stupid, willful, and totally irrational, but then, Also sit here and, uh, say, I have no right to be mad. I didn’t fall in love with you because you were rational. I don’t care why you did. I just care that you did. Hey, good morning.

I’m, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to interrupt. No, that’s okay. Um, nice to see you. It is, What’s wrong with. Uh, look, if you came by to ask about Clyde and your mom, we’re, we’re not thrilled about it either. But there’s nothing we can do. No, this isn’t about Clyde. Actually, Kate, I was hoping for your help, I mean for Brady.

What kind of help? Please testify at Rachel’s custody. Tell the judge that you don’t think that Brady killed Philip.

If Philip’s alive, I’ll deliver him to you personally.

That’s news. Anybody from Fire Phillips, Steve?

Steve’s not going to find film. You don’t know that for sure. I do know

I’m calling a recess. I think we could all use a break. Court will reconvene in one hour. Dad, what’s going on with mom? I’m sorry. She’s really sick. She said, What? What’s, We don’t know. It’s all about Orpheus. He didn’t just kid, never her and Kayla and Kate. He infected them with some kind of a biotoxin.

What? Oh my God. And why don’t, why don’t you tell us? She wouldn’t let me. She didn’t want you two to be distracted and worried about her when you had this going on that that’s just like my heart. I have to see her. I’m on my way. Come on, let’s go. I’m coming.

Brady, please wait.

Go ahead. I’ll, I’ll be there as soon as I can. Oh, Brady, don’t let her go to your, into punching her in the face.

What is it you want?

I think you really need to try and get some sleep. Can’t I can’t sleep. Not until I have some idea of what’s going on with a custody hearing. Well, I think John’s testimony is really gonna help. I’m worried. I’m worried about John. He was trying to sleep in the chair, but could hear him having nightmares all night.

I imagine Steve is going through the same thing. Same thing. He’s gone to see Orpheus. Well that won’t help. Yeah, we’ll try telling Steve to wait and be patient for America The same man. Men of action. I’m just so scared. God knows what he’s gonna do.

How much you heard? Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. See, what the hell are you doing?

Oh God, no. Impeccable timing. Constable. This man’s trying to kill back away. Steve, you back. Away it out. No, stand it out. You think you’re gonna help anything ending up in a jail cell? No. My hero. Look at me. Look at me. Just go, Wait, what if I want press charges? I mean it. I mean, go kiss sweetness for me. No, no, no, no.

Get on.

Be, Oh, you told her dad, you’d, um, just kind of slipped out. Dad said, You don’t even know what it is. Um, we’re working on it. I’m gonna go check with the ISA lab. Okay? Thanks.

I can’t lose you, honey. I’m not going anywhere.

I just wanna say I’m sorry about your mom. I love it. Try to see him human. I didn’t know, I didn’t know she was ill braid. If I had, I would never have pushed jump like that. If, if you had, you would’ve thrown it in his face. Okay? Just drop the high moral tone. You have your whole family lined up behind you to keep me from Rachel.

You can’t expect me to not fight for her. You can drop the hole. I’m fighting for my daughter routine because it is a load of crap. This is not about Rachel. This is about you and your sick compulsion to win every single hill for you. Every little mole hill is a hill to die on. You are your father all over.

Yes, I am. So think about it pretty, If I die for a mole hill, imagine what I would do to keep my own daughter. Mm-hmm. , if you hear it, my own daughter, This is not about a little girl for you, Christ. It’s about ownership. You know, there was a point, a very low point, mind you, where I thought I could, I can do this, I can share custody with Kristen.

But after seeing the way you behaved in this c. I will do anything to keep Rachel safe from you. Anything.

The idea that Brady killed Philip, thanks to Kristen. Now it’s. Black cloud looming over the courtroom. I mean, I thought I’d seen Kristen at her worst, but now she’s just being feral. And do you think that, uh, Kate could help? Well, yeah. When, when Brady denies everything, Kristen just has this way of looking at the judge, like, what else is he gonna say?

But you, Kate, you or Phillip’s mother, the judge would believe you. We don’t know. That’s true. Look, I know that I’m asking a lot of you, and I know that it’s, it’s very painful for you to talk about Philip. Okay. Um. I’ll think about it All right.

Right. Okay. Well, don’t put yourself out there anything. It’s just the life of a little child. Okay. Sorry. Didn’t mean to interrupt your breakfast.

Oh, come on. Don’t look at me like that. I, I sent it. I’ll, I’ll think about it.

Um, when you finish, Breakfast promised me or go upstairs and, uh, get some rest. Where are you going? What do you think to tell the judge that Phillip is alive?

You wanna tell me what that was about? I was gonna kill. Would you stop me? Oh, that’s a great idea. You’re gonna kill a man who’s handcuffed to a chair in a police station, but smart that you shouldn’t have stopped me. He’s in police custody. He can’t hurt anyone anymore. You know what? That’s just not true.

How do you.

I’m just a little tired. That’s all. That’s all. I, I didn’t, uh, want you to know about this. We had to,

All right. Well, I, I’m gonna be just fine. I’m getting all the kind of help that I need and, and, you know, trying to see her all the times. So what I need you, what I need you to, Is go back to the hearing and fight like hell for Rachel. You better do what she says cuz she never swears

Well, I I love you. Oh, I love you. Yeah. It’s the courthouse. Recess is almost over. I will be back as soon as I can’t. Yes, yes, yes. Final art. Let’s do this. Okay. Okay. Give him hell, kid my best.

Those kids,

we did good. Yes, I did.

Roman, please don’t do this. Don’t do this to me. If you tell that judge that Phillip is still alive, the FBI is gonna track him down and they’re gonna put him in prison when all he needs is help, he’s getting better, but he, This is. He couldn’t deal with this. He could send him right back over the edge and then I will lose him.

Okay. I can’t stand by feeling like Christian, take Rachel away from Brady. That would be wrong on every single level. Okay. Okay, so I will go to the judge and I will tell him that I, I don’t think that Brady killed Philip and risk Christian getting Rachel. Think about that, Kate. Think about what that little girl’s life would be like.

And if you do this to help Brady, he’ll know what it cost you. And I think that he will ask for leniency fulfilled. Oh gosh, we don’t know that. Yeah. But what we do know is, Brady didn’t deserve what Philip did to him, and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve to lose his daughter because of it. Oh, that’s not fair.

No, no, no, it’s not. Because Philip is my son, Roman. Yeah, and you are in a horrible position. I know that Kate. I got kids. Hell, I got Sammy. I understand that. So you know what, Kate, it’s your. All right. Think about it. I won’t say anything about Philip unless you tell me to so I repeat. Think about it. You are told to stay away from these proceedings.

I just need word with Brady. Well, he’s not here. Do you know where he went? If you wanted you to know, he would’ve told you. Don’t you think he’s got enough on his mind that he doesn’t need you stalking him? I don’t think someone who broke outta prison put in fake teeth and wore a house. Coach impersonate Susan Banks should be talking about stalking.

Well, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. Oh, you mean like manipulate your just back from the dead brother to try to woo me away from Brady? Don’t know what you’re talking about. Oh, like hell, you don’t. But guess what? Sister has a broke and bizarre as that was Brady. And I saw right through your plan.

Oh, and I was so wanted you to be my sister-in-law. Hmm. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go over my closing argument. Have fun. Clarence Darrow.

Judge, Uh, your Honor, um, I’m sorry, can I, can I speak to you for a second?

Well, you really called her that in court. Yeah, I called her a m bitch doc. She kept pushing my buttons until I just lost it. I just, I might have blow that case for Brady. I’m sure Judge saw through what Kristen was doing.

You know how I feel about Kristin. Having said that, I know how much she loves that little girl. Like I can’t imagine that she would put her own needs before that child’s.

It’s okay. That’s okay. Coqui. No, no, no, no. Kayla is trying to get sort of the ISA lab and see if she can get our testified. I hope the hell they can finally figure out what this is.

Hey, hey, listen. You need to go lie down. No, no. I’m, I’m fine. It passed. How did it go with, or, I got nothing. Sorry. Well, I didn’t have high hopes, but please tell me that he’s still among the living. Did Sean call you? No, but I didn’t think that you were gonna go over there and politely ask for his assistance.

What did you do? I just tried to persuade him to tell me what he’d done to you and when he. Sorry. Oh, it’s the ISA lab. Uh, Dr. Johnson

Family Court is back in session. Ms. Brady, do you have any more witnesses? Uh, no, Your Honor.

That all listen to your closing argument. In conclusion, I maintain that it’s in the child’s best interest that Rachel Black remain in the custody of her father, who has provided a loving, stable, saying environment no matter what kind of chaos her mother has created. Thank you, your Honor.

We will now hear Ms. Dara’s closing statement,

Your Honor, it would be dangerously wrong to leave my daughter in the custody of a man who was so obsessed with Ms. Lane, a baby thief, that he would kill his own uncle to be with her.

Your Honor, I am, uh, Roman Brady, retired commiss of the Salem Police Department, and I have something to say that I am sure will be relevant to this case.

Hey, so good to hear your. I, You sound so much better. Oh, that’s great. Philip me. Um, No, no, no. I’m fine. Sure, sure, sure. Go to your therapy. I was just calling to to tell you that I love you. Right.

Your on I protest. Roman Brady cannot just barge in giving one sided statements on Brady’s behalf. Both sides have already rested their. Why are you so sure the commissioner’s statement would be in favor of Mr. Black because he hates me. His old family does. Your Honor, I would like to hear what Mr. Brady has to say.

I’m sure you would, but that’s not going to happen. Your Honor, Please. You’re too late, Mr. Brady. I’ve already made my decision.

Gimme a call when you get this. Okay. I’m glad you’re back. I might need some medical attention. Oh, you’re gonna be fine. Unfortunately. Oh, that seems to me you’re letting your personal feelings take precedence over your professional responsibilities. Like father, like son, you were terrorizing three innocent women, one of which is my aunt.

So if I were to go with my personal feelings right now, I would pound the crap outta you. I’m terrorizing three innocent women to punish their guilty as health, significant others. They will watch the women they love die. And then, and I’ll finally be Aven.

I just got off the phone with the ISA lab. They’re having a hard time. Hard time with what? Hard time. Figuring out Kayla. Figuring out what’s wrong with Kayla. You really need to, No, no, no. They need time. Whoa, whoa.

So what happened? Did you tell them about.

Turns out I didn’t have.

The judge had already decided to rule in Brady’s favor. Oh, did that just happen? It really did. This is an outrage. Rachel belongs with me. Well, the court doesn’t think so. And let me put you on notice, Kristen, any interference or or harassment on your part, and you will end up back in court a criminal court.

I have full custody. Oh, thank God. Thank God you did this. Didn’t you swear I saw you skulking around earlier, Kristen, you did this. You showed that judge exactly who you were, and I think it was a big mistake. What exactly did you do?

Your Honor, could I please talk to you? I’m sorry, Ms. Lane, but I can’t talk to you about the case outside court. I know that, and you don’t have to say anything, but please if you would just watch this. What is this? It’s video footage of Kristin Damara attacking me in my own. And I know you can’t use any of her past crimes for your decision because of her.

Pardon? But this happened after she was released from Statesville. This should have been entered into evidence. I couldn’t give it to Brady’s attorney because if Kristen found out that I gave you that footage, she would try even harder to make our lives miserable and turned Rachel against me. Now, please.

Your Honor, all I’m asking is that you watch it and make your own decision. Should a woman like that be responsible for raising an innocent.

I guess the judge put Rachel’s welfare first.

Believe me, this isn’t over.

I feel like I can breathe again. Oh God, Rachel’s gonna be okay. And. I think we’re all.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wow. Nice home cooked meal. Starting to feel like myself again. I’m so glad to hear that. Brother, shall I top you off, please? Mm-hmm.

So now that we’re better to than adequately fed, I hope you don’t mind if I circle back to our previous convers. Uh, about the Mayor Enterprises. Mm-hmm. , as you know, Chad and I lost control of the company earlier this year, but I’m hoping that you and I can take it back. So Xander doesn’t think that Leo is capable of murder.

That’s his gut instinct. The guy’s weasel not a killer. What’s Sunny’s take is sunny, you know, felt that, uh, Leo was sincere in his, in his apology, the night that he was attacked and thinks that there, Leo’s had plenty of opportunities to finish him off and hasn’t, He didn’t do it while somebody behind the scenes is certainly making look like he did.

Leo is trying to convince Eddie that he was being set up. Do you buy that? Do you think Leo’s innocent?

Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t know what to believe anymore. You figured it out. You know who set you up. Yes. It all makes sense. Now, the guy has every reason to hate me after what I did to him. Guy, my ex. You said he couldn’t be Darius? No, no. My other ex, Dr. Craig Wesley Gwe. There is no doubt in my mind.

Spiteful Cico couldn’t wait to commit those horrible crimes and then frame me for them that he is the real killer. Hello, Nancy. I didn’t know you were in town. It was the last minute decision. Oh, well what are you doing here? I came back because of Leo. Oh, I suppose you heard that he attacked son CCUs.

Yeah. Not to mention he has supposedly done to Abigail. It was terrible. I mean, just terrible. Especially

like sand through the hour glass. So are the days of our lives.

You think Craig is the one framing you? He’s a respected doctor. Don’t you get it? When he, he upended his entire life to be with me. He came out of the closet. He left his wife, he ripped apart his family, and then he left you at the altar. Well, because he thought I had deceived him, which you had. He loved you and you just went after his money at first.

But along the way, I fell in love with him. Mm. I did. But the damage had already been done, broke Craig’s heart into a million pieces, and now he’s getting his revenge. The Foot Hill killed Abigail and stabbed Sunny. How is this your fault? Because Leo came here to see me. That’s the only reason. But Craig, you didn’t know he was dangerous.

Chloe did. Uh, Brady did. I just, honey, I wish we would’ve listened to them sooner. Son and Abigail would’ve never gotten involved. But you didn’t know he was a monster. I, she’s right, man. I mean, you just couldn’t have known that dumping him at the altar. Send him off on a murders red page. Could you,

Have we met? Oh, I, I’m so sorry, Craig. This is Clyde Weston. My fiance.

Okay, so let me, lemme just, uh, like, I’m trying to get this straight. So even though Stephan doesn’t have a heart, somehow Dr. Wolf was able to keep him alive all these years and now that he has a transplant, Walking around completely fine. Okay. I don’t even know how to process this. Welcome to my world.

Okay. And he said that he didn’t wanna be with you though? Yeah. Oh, did he say why? Yeah, he said he doesn’t love me, That he can’t stand aside of me. Okay, look, if you gotta think about this, right? I mean, the guy says, I mean, the guys he’s been dead for for years, basically, right? So who knows what’s going on inside his head.

Yeah, I know. That’s why I want to track him down because I have a lot of questions for him. I just don’t know where he is. You know, remember the first time we met? I would hardly call that a meeting. . Sammy had just dragged you outta that fire. You were in the hospital, you looked like a mummy. Mm. All bandaged up.

Nowhere to go. You were barely alive. . When I fully recovered. Samantha said she owed you a large sum of money. She did. She also did her best to get out of it. Hmm? You got off the hook. Why? Well, I could tell that she needed the money to get you the best possible medical care and look at you. Well, obviously it worked.

Yes. Well, yeah. I’ve always wanted to thank you for that. Now we’re family, right? Take care of one another. I couldn’t agree more. You and I may not have grown up together, but it’s clear we’re cut from the same cloth. Mm-hmm. , Ishmm, . Together we can accomplish great things at. First on the agenda, destroying Hernandez.

It’s interesting what is, when I first flow to the idea of us working together against Gabby, You got quiet. And then you started pacing like you are now just thinking,

Wow, it shouldn’t be that hard to gimme an answer. I was under the impression you were no longer in love with your wife. Not quite frankly, it baffles me than I ever was. And why do you seem so hesitant about bringing her down? This is your chance to take back what’s rightfully yours as she is in the way.

Maybe I just want to hear your whole plan first. You know, I’m always hesitant to rush into a decision without all the facts. Well, it’s not that complicated, really. Gabby’s been able to hold onto the position of CEO by the ED margins. She inherited her shares after your death. Now that I’m alive, I should be able to take them back, which could maybe give us love votes to Alster, but you would have to be willing to take her down.

Are you, Apparently Stephan spent last night at Amara Enterprises doing. All I know is that Lee found him in my office, camped out this morning. Oh, so was he looking for you? I don’t know. He took off and he disappeared. Can you please put out an A p B? Well, it doesn’t sound like he’s missing and he hasn’t committed any crimes as far as I can tell.

So I know. I know. It’s worth a try. Yeah. I have to ask, um, how does your boyfriend feel about all this? Well, um, he’s not my boyfriend anymore. Oh, he broke up? No, actually, we, um, we’re engaged. He’s my fiance.

Yeah, you’re engaged. Mm-hmm. Pride. Pop the question just before you walked in. You’re the first to know. Oh, wow. Thank you. Thank you. I mean, Chloe said that you were in follow up with somebody seeing someone I just didn’t know. I was so serious. Oh, what can I say? Swept me off my feet. Yeah, I bet he did. Why don’t we celebrate it with a drink, Huh?

Drinks might have kind you. Hm. Scotching the rocks for me and the, the little lady will have a chardonnay please.

Right. Okay. Look, um, I, I understand that Craig might still be very angry about the way things went down between the two of you, but do you really think that he would murder Abigail just to set you up? That is quite extreme. Hell have no fury like a gay man’s corn. Yeah. Okay. I just don’t think that he’s capable of doing something that cold blooded.

That’s because you and I have only seen the softer side of Craig, but from what I heard, he used to be a petty scheming bitch. That right? Oh yeah. He and his ex caused all sorts of trouble in this town. Oh. Has he ever tried to kill someone before? Not that I’m aware of. But losing someone you love, especially someone as special asoa, can drive you to do crazy things.

Mm, yes. I can certainly relate to that. And unlike Darius, Craig is not squeamish about getting blood on his hands. It’s basically his job. Uh, no, it’s not his job to stab innocent women. Okay. He saves people. Oh, please. Just because you have a medical license doesn’t mean you’re not psycho. Didn’t you tell me there was a doctor who once forced you into being a drug mule?

Good point, huh? I may have accused the wrong Wesley at first, but now I’m positive. I’m right. Craig has gone off the deep end and he’s trying to drag me down with him.

What are you working on? Oh, just um, looking at some recent feature pitches. You were looking at all family photos.

Yeah. Looks like I got here just in time. Oh, what you got there? Ice cream Sunday night. Wait, we already put the kids to bed. Adults only ice cream Sunday night. Oh, well that’s, that’s so thoughtful of you. Um. But I don’t think I’m up for it. Well, Jennifer, you love ice cream. Sunday night’s, one of your favorite family traditions.

It was also avid deals, and I’m not sure that I want to carry on the tradition without her.

Here’s how I. Craig comes back to town. Last student starts watching me. When he sees that I’m camping out in the Demir basement. He realizes that I would be a prime suspect if anything were to happen to Chatter. Abigail, you really think he was planning it that long? Just waiting for the right moment. I guess When he has the chance to take out Abigail, he steps her with the knife that I conveniently left behind.

Ah, So you admit you did have the knife? Of course I have the knife. How else would my fingerprints be on it? Ha Right, carry on. He must have driven Craig mad watching the cops go after every other suspect until they finally landed on little old me and then they let you go. So he had to find a way to implicate me again.

So he comes back to town, stab son and leaves behind not only the original murder weapon with your prints on it, but also my revenge list. How did you get the list? I don’t. He must have stolen it from my bag. Yeah. Okay. I think you’ve got a little tiny hole in your theory there, Perro, and what’s that? How did Craig even know the list existed?

Chloe told me about Leo’s hit list. I know she and Brady had to on it. Well, the police have provided security to her and Brady. I’m very glad about that.

Oddly enough, Leo hasn’t signaled that he’s after them, which is strange because they’re the ones that rallied the troops, uh, against him. Why would he spare them? I think you might have me thank for that.

Maybe you’re. Maybe Craig is the killer. It has to be him. I mean, the setup feels personal, and yes, there are plenty of people who hate me, but I can’t think of anyone who hates me this much in that case. Whoa, whoa. What? What are you doing? What do you think? I’m gonna phone the police.

When did you get engaged? Yesterday? But the news kind of got overshadowed by Stephan’s return. Yeah, well, he always did have a knack for timing. Tell me about it.

I mean, you, you only, you haven’t been dating that long. Doesn’t this seem like it’s moving kind of fast? You one to talk what you dated Nicole a couple months before you proposed if you have a, We’ve been friends for a very long time. I’ve known Lee for years. Okay. It’s a little different Look. Point is.

When it feels right, it feels right. Yes. I guess you’re right. How’s I feel now? Like, you mean now that my husband has returned from the dead? Uh, yeah. I can’t believe that I am hearing this, but yes, I obviously, Stephan being back changes the. Of course. I mean, well for starters, I mean, we’re so married. Okay?

Right, right. So, So the question really is, do you want stay married to Stephan or do you want marry Lee?

You said maybe we’d have enough votes to ask Gabby if I got my shares back, but you’re not. at the moment. The other side potentially has six votes, which would bring you to another tie. Hmm. So we have to either convince someone to change their vote or continue working on having a vitality’s vote disqualified.

Hmm. How’s that going? Not as well as I’d hoped she was deemed unstable because she claimed she was seeing her dead husband who ended up being me, which means she wasn’t hallucinating after all. Right

Chad, So before you start, I’m not gonna stay along. All right. I’m just here to find,

Hey Chad. Good view with Chad. My brother Stephan is alive one time now. She.

To be honest, Ra, I, I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m on, but you said it, you’re right. I, I haven’t known Lee for that long. But you love I do. And he really loves me. You know, if Stephen hadn’t come back, I, I wouldn’t have any doubts about marrying Lee. Surprised you, you say that. Why? Well, because last time we talked you said that you didn’t think you could ever love someone the way he love Ste.

That’s true. I mean, I do think of s Stephan as the love of my life, and maybe that’s because I, I lost him so early on in our marriage. But when Lee proposed I was ready to move on, I was even. Stop wearing our sweating band around my neck. I was really ready to put stuff in behind me. Easier to do when he’s dead.

Exactly. How can I do that when he’s right here? Even if he says he doesn’t love me, but do I just give up? I can’t just give up. Right. It doesn’t sound to me like Stephan’s leaving too much of your choice. Ralph had you on ice. He never said a word. I guess he figured there wasn’t any point. He couldn’t wake me up until he found a heart.

Why? You did just fine without one before. Clever. Look, Chad, I know you and I have had our differences. So differences. Do I have to remind you what you did to my wife? I’m hoping that this could be a new beginning for us. No thank you. All right. Look, I don’t expect you and Abigail to welcome me back with open arms.

She’s dead.

What? It’s true. Abigail’s dead.

What happened? She was murder.

I appreciate you trying to lift my spirits. I do. And I want to enjoy doing things like this with you, but when it’s something that I remember, Doing so well with her, Abigail. I get it. Believe me, I get it. It’s supposed to get easier with time. I know. But for me, every day that goes by, I, I just miss her more, not less.

Me too.

I, I’ll tell you what,

at the next time we have ice cream Sunday night, we recruit Thomas and Charlotte and we share with them all the wonderful fun memories that we have of our mom when she was a little girl. What do you think? Would that make it easier for you? Yeah. Yeah, it would. Yeah. Cause that, that would be good for the kids, you know, for us to share our memories of her, with them and them to share some of their memories with us.

Right? I mean, we should encourage you. We should. We should. That’s what advocate would want, but then that’s what we’ll do. Okay. But in the meantime, since you went to all trouble and. Don’t want that ice cream to melt. We should make those Sundays now. You sure? Yes, I’m sure. Cause I think Abigail would want that.

Yeah. Yeah.

I’m thinking Leo hasn’t gone after Chloe or Brady because he still cares about me. Hate to burst your bowl drag, but that sounds a bit narcissistic to me. I know that Leo is not happy for what happened at the wedding, but if he ever went near my daughter, touched her. Have you seen Chloe since you got back in town?

Mm. I came straight here, I was hungry. I wanna get something need.

Why don’t we all go out and have a bike together? All of us. Um, celebrate your engagement, all of us. Chloe Brady, you, both of you. Uh, my treat. Hmm. So very kind of you. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Craig, you’re a real standup guy.

Are you nuts? You can’t call the police. Why not? We have to investigate Craig so that they can clear your name. Are you gonna tell ’em that I’m here? Are you gonna turn me in? Why would I do that? Uh, because you’re probably still mad as hell that I lied and told everyone you confessed. Yes. Well, I’m obviously still miffed about that,

but Matt, I understand why you did what you did. You explained that you were backed against a wall. Honey, I had to get away. I am so sorry that I threw you under the bus. All right. Yeah, that’s alright. Enough with the apologies now. Now, the important thing is, is that we prove your innocence. Otherwise, you are going to spend the rest of your life on the run.

Okay? Okay. Let’s bring Dr. Death’s pathetic. Life pathetic because I’m no longer in it and he’s never gonna find anyone else as sexy and adorable as I am. Let’s bring that sadistic, twisted, loves sick man’s life to a screeching halt.

Yeah, hang on. Almost matter, um, you know, if, um, you two don’t mind, Ida really like to share the, the good news with, uh, Chloe by myself. Sure. You go ahead and in the meantime, why don’t the two of you get to know each other? I mean, we. We are going to be family.

She’s the best, isn’t she? Yes she is. Which is why I’m real glad she gave us this little moment together. Oh, I didn’t. Wanna say it earlier when she was there, but, um, Chloe has a little trouble with your past quote about, um, something about you having had a few run-ins with the law. Well, as I told your daughter, I don’t pretend to be a saint, but I paid my debt to society and since I’ve been released from prison, I’ve managed to stay out of trouble, Have.

Yeah, got myself a simple but honest job working at the pub. So I guess saw those drug deals and those, uh, kidnappings and Oh yes. Attempted murder. They don’t mean anything. That’s what I told you, Craig. Do you not believe me? Uh, no. No, I didn’t. As a matter. Had to be rude. Uh, I just don’t think that you are good enough for Nancy.

It’s funny cause you are the one who deceived her your entire marriage and nearly destroyed her when you cheated on her. And you tell. that I’m not good enough. I’m sorry I saw bones, but you’re the last person who has any right to be judgemental about me. No offense, I’ll text Rafe directly. This is too important not to go right to the top.

Well, tell me what you’re writing. I will, uh, this is Swe Mische to commissioner. Hernandez, I have reason to believe that my friend, Mattie, AK Leo start is being framed. I strongly suggest that you launch an investigation into Dr. Craig Wesley. I suspect he is the killer. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Send. You think the commissioner will take you seriously. Guess we’ll soon find out.

Sorry. Could be work related. Yeah, no problem. What is it? One wrist check. What, what? Why is that BHA texting you? Uh, it’s about Abigail’s case. What about it? Uh, well I can’t really talk about it, but I do need to look into this. Oh yeah. No, I gotta, I gotta head out to work anyway. Oh, was a little late, isn’t it?

Oh, CEO never sleeps 20 far. Job. Yeah, I hear that. Being commission. Listen, you need anything, no matter what day night, you can just call me. You know that, right? Yeah. Thank you. You too. Come on. I love you. I love you too.

So Abigail was stabbed in this house. Find the killer. Current theory is Leo Stark. Wow. Leo Stark. I remember that guy. Tried to get a job from me. Super shady. Look Chad, I am

so sorry.

This is a terrible tragedy. I was sure it was Leo. I read that son was unable to positively idea him. His attacker never got a good look at him, but he remembers smelling vanilla or whatever that’s worth. Well, I do hope they finally owe or whoever did this and hold them to justice. Yeah, look, I’m, I’m just here to look for Charlotte.

Stuffed animal. You haven’t seen a little elephant around here, have you? I can’t say that I have Chad, so Well. I’m gonna go look up stairs for myself and then have a very large drink. Try to wrap my head around this.

Good to see you, Chad.

So where were we? I believe you were trying to persuade me to get my shares back from Gabby. Hmm. And have I succeeded?

It’s even better than I remembered. Yep. You know, as Abigail used to say, ice cream is the solution to everything.

I’m glad to see that you’re still on the light, on the chocolate sauce. Tons of nuts, Cam. Why I mess with perfection. Oh, well, yes, of course, of course. I, I like to mix it up myself. So, uh, , I don’t mind trying gears for once.

I remember you once told Abigail that a person’s choice in toppings revealed a lot about their character. Well, I still believe that. And for example, your example shows me that, uh, you have a refined personality. Oh, refined but not stuffy. Oh, no, no, no. No one would ever call you stuffy. That would be me, . At least I I was, when you first met me, Except you, my darling girl.

You helped me loosen. And taught me to have fun. Maybe a little too much fun. Well, on occasion, yes. But, but still, still, you saved me. I mean, otherwise, I, I, I thank God every day that you kept me from being an old curmudgeon, yelling at kids to keep off my lawn. I, I would’ve been telling my family to, to adhere this, uh, arbitrary set of rules just to make me happy.

I. I could have been Victor. Oh, . I, I don’t know. I if I can picture that. Well do . I’m serious. You saved me. You really did. You kept me from being continually cranky more that you taught me, that loving someone with all their heart is the best. And most important thing that anyone can do, well, I think you learned that all by yourself.

Mm. I’ll Mur would’ve learned it if not for you the day you came into my life’s the luckiest day of my life.

Mine too.

Stop hogging all the nuts. Oh, thank.

Stephan, for so long I prayed. I wish for you to come back to me. I’m so grateful that you are alive.

But how could you forget the love we shared? How could you forget what we meant to each other?

Stephanie,

you have a minute to talk. Of course.

Is that Uh, yeah. Um, I went back to the crib to retrieve it. I noticed you were still wearing.

Yeah,

just I hadn’t even noticed.

I think that, um, maybe on some level that might mean that you still love me.

You know, Clyde, I don’t regret. Embracing my life for my truth, who I am. But I hurt Nancy very deeply and that I am not proud of. She was a wonderful wife to me, beautiful, wonderful mother to her kids, and I don’t wanna see her get hurt again, which is why I’m gonna protect her at every cost. Well, not that it’s your New year business.

Mm-hmm. . But the last thing that I would ever. Has hurt that woman. She is kind, she is sweet. She makes me very happy, and as her husband, I’m gonna treat her with a kind of love and respect that she deserves. Right. Oh, so I know you were in town. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just, um, today, just now. You know Clay? Yeah, we go way back.

Glad we ran into you. Yeah. Why’s that? Still waiting for my apology. Apology? Yeah. Did you or did you not falsely accuse me of murdering your wife? I don’t think this is the time and place. Well actually it is, you see, cuz Craig here needs to understand case. He hears from other people that I was a suspect and since he thinks that I’m not good enough for his ex.

You see, it was all a big misunderstanding. I had an ironclad alibi. Police felt mighty foolish when they realized they had the wrong guy.

So you’re cool with me hiding out here for a while, at least until the cops rest, Craig? Yes, of course. It’ll be fun, right? Mattie Andwe. Just like the old days. Yeah, just like the old days. We can order some junky takeaway and watch some rubbish. Tell together beer. I don’t deserve a friend like you. No. Stop.

Feel sorry to put your hands in the air. What the hell? I said put your hands in the air. Okay. Okay. Taking you back into custody. Wait, wait, wait, wait. How? How did you know I was here? You might want to talk to your little friend here. Quinn. Yeah. Hello. You remember that text I sent earlier? That was actually an SOS informing Ray that a dangerous fugitive.

It turned up on my doorstep. 20. How could you, Sorry. Matt Cake. You know what they say? One good 10 deserves another.

Gabby, I,

I dropped off the paperwork with legal. We’re all set. What paperwork? Oh, didn’t you tell her I was about to Got a little sidetracked. Stephan, tell me what. Well, Gabby, as you know, you inherited my shares of Damara upon my passing, but now that I am very much alive, I’ve officially requested they’ve taken from you and given back to me.

Why don’t you let me do the dishes? No way. Ice cream, Sunday night was my, I’m gonna see it too to the end. Well, you’re really earning your paycheck tonight. That reminds me. Remind me to write a check for Thompson’s school fundraiser. Oh, I’ll do it right now so we don’t forget. Okay. All right.

Ah, this is so wrong. Is it really? Maybe you should think twice next time before stabbing somebody in the back. Both figuratively and literally. I told you I’m innocent. I thought you believed me. Yeah, I sort of do, but I’m not going to get into trouble for harboring and if. Fugitive wise decision Commissioner.

Commissioner, please. You have to listen to me. I figured out who the killer is. So did I. And I am taking him to prison as we speak. No, no, you don’t understand. You’ve got the wrong man. I’m being set up. The real killer is Dr. Craig Wesley. Chad, I, um, I didn’t know Abigail very well. I didn’t know her. I just know that she was an exceptional young woman who was, she was taken away way too sick, and I’m, I’m very sorry I ConDOT this.

Thank you.

What? Nothing. I just felt that I smoked in all.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

EJ and Stefan finish dinner at the DiMera Mansion and return to the living room with wine. Stefan praises the home cooked meal and says he’s starting to feel like himself again. EJ is glad to hear and asks to continue their previous conversation about DiMera Enterprises. EJ reminds Stefan that he and Chad lost control of the company earlier this year, but he hopes that they can now take it back.

Jack informs Chad that Xander’s gut instinct was that Leo wasn’t capable of murder and that he was a weasel, but not a killer. Chad responds that Sonny feels Leo was sincere in his apologies and that he had plenty of chances to finish him off since but didn’t. Jack declares that if Leo didn’t do it, someone is trying to make it look like he did. Chad confirms that Leo was trying to make Sonny believe that he was set up. Jack asks if Chad believes that. Chad admits he doesn’t know what to believe anymore.

Gwen questions Leo figuring out who set him up. Leo says it all makes sense now and declares that his ex, Dr. Craig Wesley hates him enough to do it. Leo adds that there’s no doubt in his mind that Craig couldn’t wait to commit those horrible crimes and then frame him for them but he is the real killer.

Nancy and Clyde are shocked as Craig Wesley enters the Pub and greets Nancy. Nancy didn’t know he was in town. Craig calls it a last minute decision. Nancy asks what he’s doing here. Craig responds that he came back because of Leo. Nancy calls what happened to Sonny and Abigail absolutely terrible. Craig says especially because it seems to be all his fault.

Gwen questions Leo thinking that Craig is framing him when he’s a respected doctor. Leo brings up everything Craig gave up to be with him and how he ripped apart his family. Gwen reminds Leo that Craig left him at the altar when he found out he was just after his money. Leo insists that he fell in love with Craig but the damage was already done and now Craig wants his revenge.

Nancy questions how it’s Craig’s fault if Leo stabbed Sonny and killed Abigail. Craig says it’s because Leo only came back to Salem to see him. Nancy argues that he didn’t know he was dangerous. Craig points out that Chloe and Brady knew, so he wishes they would’ve listened to them sooner and then Sonny and Abigail would have never gotten involved. Nancy repeats that Craig couldn’t have known Leo was a monster. Clyde agrees that there’s no way Craig could’ve known that dumping Leo at the altar would send him on a murderous rampage. Craig asks if he and Clyde have met. Nancy apologizes and introduces Craig to Clyde as her fiancée which surprises Craig.

Gabi goes to Rafe’s office and informs Rafe about Stefan being alive thanks to Dr. Rolf keeping him alive all these years and now that he’s had a heart transplant, he’s walking around completely fine. Rafe is shocked and doesn’t know how to process this. Gabi tells Rafe about Stefan saying he doesn’t love her and can’t stand the sight of her. Rafe talks about Stefan being dead for years. Gabi wants to track him down because she has a lot of questions for him but she doesn’t know where he is.

Stefan recalls the first time he met EJ when Sami had just dragged him out of the fire and he was all bandaged, barely alive. EJ recalls when he was fully recovered, Sami mentioned owing Stefan a lot of money and questions why he let her off the hook. Stefan says he could tell Sami needed it to get EJ the best possible medical care and obviously it worked. EJ says he always wanted to thank Stefan for that. Stefan says they are family and take care of one another. EJ feels they are clearly cut from the same cloth and together, they can accomplish great things at DiMera. EJ declares that first on the agenda is destroying Gabi Hernandez. Stefan turns away and gets up. EJ notes how when he first brought up the idea, Stefan was quiet, and now he’s pacing. Stefan says he’s just thinking. EJ doesn’t think it should be hard to give him an answer as he was under the impression that he’s no longer in love with Gabi. Stefan confirms he’s not and says it baffles him that he ever was. EJ questions why he seems so hesitant to bring Gabi down when this is his chance to take back what is his. Stefan suggests he’s just hesitant to rush in to a decision without knowing all the facts. EJ says it’s not really that complicated. EJ explains that Gabi has been able to hold on to the CEO position by the slimmest margins and inherited Stefan’s shares after his death. Stefan notes that now he can take them back. EJ says that should give them enough to oust Gabi, but Stefan would have to be willing to take her down. EJ asks if he is.

Gabi informs Rafe that Stefan apparently spent last night at DiMera Enterprises and Li found him camped out in her office but he took off and she doesn’t know where he went, so she asks Rafe to put out an APB. Rafe points out that it doesn’t sound like he’s missing and he hasn’t committed any crimes. Gabi says it was worth a try. Rafe asks how her boyfriend feels about all of this. Gabi responds that he’s not her boyfriend anymore, so Rafe asks if they broke up. Gabi then reveals that they are engaged, so Li is now her fiancee.

Nancy informs Craig that Clyde popped the question just before he walked in, so he’s the first to know. Craig mentions that Chloe said Nancy was seeing someone but he didn’t know it was so serious. Nancy says Clyde just swept her off her feet. Craig suggests they celebrate with drinks. Clyde calls that kind of him so Craig goes to the bar.

Gwen tells Leo that she understands Craig might still be very angry about how things went down with them, but asks if he really thinks Craig would murder Abigail just to set him up and calls that very extreme. Gwen doesn’t think Craig is capable of something that cold-blooded. Leo argues that they’ve only seen the soft side of Craig, but he’s heard that he used to be a petty, scheming bitch and that he and his ex caused all sorts of trouble in town. Gwen asks if Craig has ever tried to kill someone before. Leo says not that he’s aware of but losing someone you love can drive you to do crazy things. Leo adds that unlike Darius, Craig is not squeamish about blood. Gwen tries to argue that Craig’s a doctor who saves people but Leo reminds her of the doctor that forced her to be a drug dealer. Leo declares that he may have accused the wrong Wesley at first, but now he’s positive he’s right that Craig has gone off the deep end and is trying to take him down with him.

Jack finds Jennifer in the living room, looking at old family photos. Jack brings in ice cream sundaes for them which Jennifer calls thoughtful but says she doesn’t think she’s up for it. Jennifer points out that it was one of Abigail’s favorite family traditions, so she’s not sure she wants to carry on the tradition without her.

Leo goes over his theory that Craig came back to town and starts watching him, then sees he’s camping out in the DiMera basement so Craig realizes Leo would be the prime suspect if anything happened to Chad or Abigail. Gwen questions thinking Craig was planning it that long. Leo goes over how Craig saw his opportunity and used his knife to kill Abigail. Gwen notes Leo admitting that he had the knife. Leo says it must have driven Craig mad to see the cops go after every other suspect, so he comes back to town and stabs Sonny with the original murder weapon and brings his revenge list. Gwen asks how he would’ve gotten the list. Leo suggests he stolen it from his bag. Gwen points out the hole in Leo’s theory being how Craig would have known about his list.

Craig informs Nancy and Clyde that Chloe told him about Leo’s hit list, so he knows Chloe and Brady had to be on it. Clyde says the police have provided security to Chloe and Brady. Nancy notes that Leo hasn’t signaled that he is after them which is strange since they are ones that rallied the troops against him. Nancy wonders why Leo would spare them. Craig responds that she might have him to thank for that..

Gwen decides maybe Leo is right that Craig is the killer. Leo responds that it has to be because the setup feels personal. Leo admits plenty of people hate him but no one this much. Gwen decides she wants to call the police then.

Rafe questions when Gabi got engaged. Gabi says it was yesterday but the news kind of got overshadowed by Stefan’s return. Rafe points out that Gabi and Li haven’t been dating that long so he thinks it’s moving kind of fast. Gabi compares it to Rafe and Nicole getting engaged after only a few months. Rafe argues that they had been friends for a very long time. Gabi argues that she’s known Li for years but Rafe calls that a little different. Gabi states that when it feels right, it feels right. Rafe guesses she’s right and asks how it feels now that Stefan has returned from the dead. Rafe feels Stefan being back obviously changes the equation. Gabi points out that for starters, she and Stefan are still married. Rafe declares that the question is: does Gabi want to stay married to Stefan or does she want to marry Li?

Stefan questions EJ saying that they would maybe have enough shares to oust Gabi with his and asks if he’s not certain. EJ responds that at the moment, the other side potentially has six votes so they have to either convince someone to change their vote or continue working on getting Ava disqualified. Stefan asks how that is going. EJ admits not as well as he’d hoped because Ava was deemed unstable since she was seeing her dead husband but it was Stefan, which means she wasn’t hallucinating after all. Chad enters the mansion and starts to head upstairs but EJ calls him. Chad comes in to the living room and starts saying he won’t stay long but he’s shocked to see Stefan. EJ informs Chad of the good news that their brother Stefan is alive. Stefan greets Chad and says long time no see.

Gabi admits to Rafe that she doesn’t know what she wants. Gabi agrees that she hasn’t known Li for that long but she does love him and he really loves her, so if Stefan didn’t come back, she would have no doubts about marrying Li. Rafe is surprised to hear her say that because last time they talked, she said she didn’t think she could ever love someone the way she loved Stefan. Gabi confirms that she thinks of Stefan as the love of her life and maybe that’s because she lost him so early in their marriage, but when Li proposed, she was ready to move on. Gabi cries that she was really ready to put Stefan behind her, but asks how she can do that when he’s right there. Gabi adds that even if Stefan says he doesn’t love her, she can’t just give up. Rafe feels Stefan isn’t giving her much choice.

Chad questions Dr. Rolf keeping Stefan on ice and never saying anything. Stefan guesses Dr. Rolf felt there was no point because he couldn’t wake him up without a heart. Chad remarks that he never had one before. Stefan knows they’ve had their differences. Chad angrily asks if he has to remind Stefan of what he did to his wife. Stefan hopes this can be a new beginning for them but Chad declines. Stefan doesn’t expect Chad and Abigail to welcome them back with open arms. Chad quickly informs him that Abigail is dead which shocks him. EJ confirms it’s true as Stefan asks what happened. Chad responds that she was murdered.

Jennifer appreciates Jack trying to lift her spirits and she wants to enjoy doing things like this with him, but it’s something that she remembers doing with Abigail. Jack assures that he gets it. Jennifer knows it’s supposed to get better with time, but every day that goes by, she misses her more. Jack suggests next time they’ll have ice cream sundaes with the kids and share memories of Abigail. Jennifer agrees that would be good for the kids. Jennifer decides they shouldn’t let the ice cream he brought to go to waste because she thinks Abigail would want that too.

Craig tells Nancy and Clyde that he’s thinking Leo hasn’t gone after Chloe and Brady because he still cares about him. Clyde jokes that it sounds a bit narcissistic. Craig knows Leo is not happy with what happened at their wedding but warns about if he came ever near his daughter. Nancy asks if he’s seen Chloe since coming back to town. Craig says no because he came straight here as he was hungry. Craig then suggests they all go out to eat together to celebrate their engagement with Chloe and Brady. Craig calls it his treat. Nancy calls that very kind of him. Clyde agrees and calls him a real stand up guy.

Leo stops Gwen and says she can’t call the police. Gwen argues that they have to investigate Craig to clear Leo’s name. Leo asks if she’s going to turn him in. Gwen asks why she would do that. Leo feels she’s probably still mad about him lying that she confessed. Gwen admits she’s still miffed about that but she understands why he did it. Leo insists that he had to get away and apologizes for throwing her under the bus. Gwen says the important thing is they prove his innocence or else he will spend the rest of his life on the run. Leo then agrees that he wants to bring Craig’s life to a screeching halt.

Nancy, Clyde, and Craig walk through the town square. Nancy stops and decides she’d like to share the good news with Chloe by herself first. Nancy suggests Craig and Clyde get to know each other in the meantime since they are going to be family. Nancy then walks away. Craig tells Clyde that he’s glad Nancy gave them this moment together. Craig says he didn’t want to say in front of Nancy but brings up Chloe having a little trouble with Clyde’s past and something about his run-ins with the law. Clyde responds that he doesn’t pretend to be a saint but he’s paid his debt to society and since he’s been out of prison, he’s managed to stay out of trouble and got a simple job at the Pub. Craig questions Clyde’s drug deals, kidnappings, and attempted murder not meaning anything. Clyde asks if he doesn’t believe him. Craig responds that he just doesn’t think Clyde is good enough for Nancy. Clyde calls that funny since Craig is the one who deceived her for their entire marriage and nearly destroyed her by cheating on her. Clyde declares that Craig is the last person that has any right to be judgmental about him.

Gwen tells Leo that she will text Rafe directly because this is too important not to go directly to the top. Leo reads her text aloud, saying she has reason to believe Leo is being framed and she strongly suggests he launch an investigation in to Dr. Craig Wesley as she suspects that he is the killer. Leo wonders if Rafe will take her seriously. Gwen guesses they will soon find out.

Rafe gets the text from Gwen. Gabi questions it. Rafe says it’s about Abigail’s case and he can’t really talk about it but he does need to look in to it. Gabi says she has to head to work anyway. Rafe notes it being late but Gabi calls it a 24 hour job. Rafe tells her to call if she needs anything. Gabi tells him the same and they say I love you as they hug.

Stefan questions Abigail being stabbed in the house and asks if they found the killer. Chad responds that the current theory is Leo Stark. Stefan remembers Leo trying to get a job from him and calls him super shady. Stefan tells Chad that he’s so sorry and calls it a terrible tragedy. EJ questions if they’re sure it was Leo since he read that Sonny was unable to positively ID him as his attacker. Chad confirms that Sonny never got a good look at him but he remembers smelling vanilla for whatever that’s worth. EJ hopes they find Leo or whoever did this and brings them to justice. Chad says he just came to look for Charlotte’s stuffed elephant. Chad decides he will go check upstairs and then he will have a very large drink to try to wrap his head around this. Stefan says it was good to see him as Chad heads upstairs. EJ then asks Stefan where they were. Stefan believes EJ was trying to persuade him to take his shares back from Gabi. EJ asks if he has succeeded.

Jack and Jennifer eat ice cream sundaes while recalling how Abigail used to say ice cream was the solution to everything. They joke about when they first met. Jack says Jennifer saved him and jokes that he could have turned in to Victor otherwise. Jack says Jennifer taught him that loving someone with all your heart is the most important thing anyone can do. Jack calls the day she came in to his life, the luckiest day of his life.

Gabi goes to work at the DiMera office. She stops and looks at her engagement ring, then pulls out her old wedding ring. Gabi talks about praying and wishing for so long for Stefan to come back to her. Gabi says she’s so grateful he’s alive but questions how he forget the love they shared and what they meant to each other. Stefan then enters the office and asks if she has a minute to talk. Stefan then notices she is holding her wedding ring. Gabi points out that he is still wearing his. Stefan says he hadn’t even noticed. Gabi thinks maybe on some level, that might mean that he still loves her.

Craig tells Clyde that he doesn’t regret embracing his life and who he truly is, but he’s not proud of hurting Nancy because she was a wonderful wife to him and a beautiful mother. Craig declares that he doesn’t want to see Nancy get hurt again and that’s why he’s going to protect her at all costs. Clyde responds that it’s not his business, but the last thing he would ever do is hurt Nancy as she is kind, sweet, and makes him very happy. Clyde declares that as her husband, he will treat her with the love and respect that she deserves. Chad then walks by and runs in to them. Chad mentions not knowing that Craig was in town. Craig says he just got in today and asks if he knows Clyde. Clyde says they go way back. Clyde is glad they ran in to Chad because he’s still waiting for his apology since Chad falsely accused him of murdering his wife. Chad doesn’t think this is the time or place. Clyde responds that it is because Craig needs to understand in case he hears that he was a suspect and Craig thinks he’s not good enough for Nancy. Clyde explains that he had an ironclad alibi and the police felt foolish when they realized they had the wrong guy.

Leo asks Gwen if she’s cool with him hiding out here until the cops arrest Craig. Gwen says of course. Leo says it will be fun just like the old days. Leo hugs her and says he doesn’t deserve a friend like her. Suddenly, Rafe then bursts in to the room with his gun drawn and orders Leo to put his hands in the air as Gwen stands back with a smile. Rafe declares that he is taking Leo back in to custody. Leo questions how he even knew he was there. Rafe suggests asking Gwen. Gwen reveals that the text she sent Rafe was actually an SOS that a dangerous fugitive had arrived at her door. Leo asks how could she. Gwen says she’s sorry but one good turn deserves another. Rafe then handcuffs Leo.

Stefan and Gabi are interrupted by EJ arriving at the office. EJ announces he dropped off the paperwork with legal so they are all set. Gabi questions what paper work. EJ asks if Stefan didn’t tell her. Stefan says he was about to but got sidetracked. Stefan brings up Gabi inheriting his shares upon his passing, but he has now officially requested that they be taken from her and given back to him.

Jennifer offers to do the dishes but Jack insists. After Jack leaves the room, Jennifer goes to her purse and takes painkillers.

Leo complains that this is so wrong. Gwen warns him to think twice about stabbing someone in the back. Leo argues that he’s innocent and thought Gwen believed him. Gwen says she sort of does but she’s not going to get in trouble for harboring a fugitive. Rafe calls that a wise decision. Leo pleads with Rafe that he knows who the real killer is. Rafe responds that he does too and he’s taking him in to custody. Leo argues that Rafe doesn’t understand, that he’s being set up, and shouts that the real killer is Dr. Craig Wesley as Rafe drags him out of the room.

Craig tells Chad that he didn’t know Abigail very well but he knows she was an exceptional young woman who was taken way too soon, so he’s very sorry. Craig gives his condolences and hugs Chad. Chad then realizes that he smells vanilla which Sonny remembered from when he was stabbed.

Update written by Joseph

Clyde sits outside the Brady Pub on the phone. Clyde says to keep this under hat because the last thing he’d want is for Nancy to find out, right as Nancy approaches.

Xander goes to see Jack, who calls it a nice surprise. Jack asks how everything is going with the new bride. Xander informs him that it’s a disaster.

Sarah goes to the Kiriakis Mansion with her bag packed. Maggie questions what she’s doing there instead of on her honeymoon. Sarah responds that the honeymoon is over and so is her marriage.

Gwen sits in her room with a photo of her and Xander. She tells herself that marriage is over. She is then startled by Leo frantically knocking on the door. Leo comes in and tells Gwen that she has to hide him.

Clyde greets Nancy and asks if she was hiding from him. Nancy says she didn’t want to interrupt him on the phone. Clyde says he was just catching up with Ben. Nancy asks how Ben and Ciara are doing. Clyde says they are living the dream. Clyde invites her in to the Pub while he’s on break.

Sonny tells Will and Chad at the hospital how Leo was in his room, dressed as a nurse and took off before the cops came. Chad doesn’t get how there wasn’t police outside his door. Sonny argues that he doesn’t need protection from Leo. Will asks why he would say that. Sonny acknowledges that Leo did sneak in wearing a disguise, but it wasn’t to kill him. Sonny adds that he knows it sounds crazy but he has a gut feeling that Leo really is innocent.

Leo begs Gwen to help him because the cops are after him as they think he killed Abigail and stabbed Sonny. Leo insists that he’s innocent and he’s being framed so he worries about what to do. Gwen threatens to call the police and tell them that Leo just confessed which is what he did to her.

Jack questions Xander as to what happened. Xander reveals that Sarah packed her bag and went home to Maggie. Jack points out that it’s only been 24 hours since the wedding and questions what he did. Xander explains that he told her about how he slept with Nicole last year and now she wants nothing to do with him.

Sarah complains to Maggie about Xander sleeping with Nicole and then using that to break up her marriage. Maggie recalls it being awful. Sarah questions her knowing about it and not telling her. Maggie says she thought Sarah would’ve already heard about it but either way, it wasn’t her place to tell her. Sarah agrees but says she didn’t hear about it and Xander didn’t tell her until it was too late and she made the stupid mistake of marrying him. Sarah questions why she would want to marry a man who could be so reckless and cruel as to break up someone’s marriage for profit. Sarah questions if Maggie is going to take Xander’s side. Maggie argues that she’s not taking sides but doesn’t see why it’s a deal breaker since Xander was going through a terrible time. Sarah tells her not to make excuses for him. Maggie says it’s just how she feels about it but it’s up to her. Sarah declares that she has decided she wants to be the hell away from Xander. Maggie says she won’t stand in her way. Maggie adds that if she leaves Xander and their marriage, she can think of someone who will be very happy about it. Sarah can’t believe Maggie is insinuating that Gwen will swoop right in. Maggie thinks that is true.

Gwen asks Leo if she should call the police station or Rafe. Leo apologizes for telling the police that she confessed and says it was his lawyer’s idea. Leo argues that Sloan convinced him that he had to give the police something. Gwen complains that he threw her under the bus. Gwen talks about Leo hanging around the office after stabbing Sonny and leaving his list so Chad could come after him almost like he wanted to be caught. Leo argues that he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Leo repeats that he’s being framed and someone is trying to set him up. Leo declares that Gwen is the only person that can help him figure out who it is. Leo adds that if she doesn’t believe him at the end of the conversation, then she can call the cops. Leo pleads with Gwen as his only friend in the world and says he has nowhere else to go. Leo remarks that she has no idea what it feels like to be so alone. Gwen responds that actually she does and agrees to give him ten minutes to talk.

Will questions Sonny thinking Leo is innocent. Sonny asks why he wouldn’t have just killed him when he came in if he was guilty. Chad asks what Leo did to. Sonny says he did nothing and just asked questions about his stabbing like he wanted to know every detail. Chad argues that Leo was acting to get him to let his guard down. Sonny points out that Leo didn’t try to hurt him and said he only came to the office to get Alex to back off which made sense. Will worries that could’ve been another lie. Sonny argues that if Leo wanted to kill him, he would have just done it then. Sonny adds that Leo finally apologized for leaking those photos to The Intruder. Chad brings up that when he showed up, Leo was standing over Sonny’s bloody body and questions how to explain that.

Clyde gets Nancy a sandwich and asks if she’s not hungry. Nancy guesses she’s just worried about Chloe since Leo Stark is still on the loose while both Chloe and Brady are on his hit list. Clyde reminds her that the police have assigned security to both of them, so he doesn’t think she has anything to worry about. Clyde adds that Brady is pretty tough and very protective of the people he loves, so he wouldn’t let Leo touch Chloe. Nancy agrees that Brady would never let anything happen to Chloe. Clyde jokes that she should know better than to doubt him by now. Nancy then says she can’t do this anymore and pretend when nothing is going right. Clyde asks what is troubling her so bad. Nancy responds that she knows he’s lying to her.

Chad continues to question why Leo came back to Sonny’s office and why he was standing over him with the knife in his back. Sonny responds that Leo said he came back to have his parking validated which Chad and Will can’t believe. Leo knows it’s weird and far fetched. Will talks about Sonny’s huge heart being a reason he loves him so much, but they both know that Leo is incapable of being honest. Will questions what makes him think that this is the one time he’s telling the truth that he didn’t stab him or Abigail. Sonny doesn’t know and calls it a strong gut feeling.

Jack argues that Sarah can’t really be that upset with Xander’s one night stand with Nicole since he got over the fact that he was engaged to Gwen and married to Chanel. Xander explains that him sleeping with Nicole is not why Sarah left but it’s that he used that to bust up Nicole and Eric’s marriage and that he did it because Sami paid him a million dollars. Jack then understands Sarah’s reaction and asks how he can help. Xander asks what he can do to fix this. Jack says he doesn’t have the answer. Xander argues that Jack helped him before so he wants him to work his magic again and asks him again to help him fix this.

Sarah asks Maggie why she would even want to think about Gwen when her marriage just ended. Maggie apologizes for going there. Sarah tells Maggie that even if Gwen did try to get Xander back, there is no way he would go back to her after he knows all of the awful things that she did. Maggie brings up that Gwen is a very manipulative person and points out how hard she tried to keep Sarah and Xander apart, so if she thinks Sarah willingly left Xander, she will try every trick in the book to take advantage of that situation. Maggie says she’s probably at Xander’s hotel room now, offering him a shoulder to cry on. Sarah yells at her to stop.

Gwen asks if Leo has some idea of who is setting him up. Leo says he’s been thinking it over and it has to be somebody who hates him. Gwen believes that but says that doesn’t really narrow it down since there’s no shortage of people in town who would like to see them both disappear. Leo says whoever is trying to frame him doesn’t just hate him, but really has an axe to grind against him. Leo then declares that he knows who it is and says it’s Nancy.

Clyde questions what Nancy is talking about. Nancy says she knows he wasn’t on the phone with Ben before and questions why he said he didn’t want her to find out what he was talking about. Clyde says it’s not what she thinks. Nancy tells him to save it because she knows that whatever he’s up to is illegal and amoral so she doesn’t any part of it. Nancy declares that they are through.

Sarah questions how Maggie could say Gwen is going to be trying to get Xander back and asks if she actually thinks that’s helpful for her right now. Maggie says she’s just trying to make a point. Maggie talks about Xander being a mess when Sarah was gone, doing anything to stop thinking about her and the pain from losing her. Maggie compares it to marrying Victor despite knowing he had made a lot of mistakes but she vowed to love all of him, good and bad. Maggie says she promised herself not to blame Victor for his past, so she doesn’t think Sarah should blame Xander for his.

Jack wishes he could give Xander a magic fix for his relationship but he doesn’t know what that would be. Xander figures there is no fix. Xander says Jack just listening and not judging is enough. Xander admits that looking to other people to fix his problems is what got him in to this situation in the first place. Jack calls that real emotional growth. Xander asks if there’s any word on Abigail’s case. Jack informs him that he just got a call from Rafe but unfortunately, Leo Stark is still on the loose. Xander questions Leo being the prime suspect now. Jack says not just in Abigail’s murder but in Sonny’s stabbing as well. Xander asks if the cops are sure it was him. Xander knows Leo is a scam artist and a buffoon, but he’s not convinced that Leo is a killer. Jack questions if he’s honestly defending Leo Stark. Xander admits Leo is not one of his favorite people, but Jack is, so he wants to make sure he gets justice and the real killer gets locked up. Xander calls it a gut feeling that he’s not sure that person is Leo Stark.

Gwen questions Leo thinking Nancy is setting him up. Leo argues that it makes perfect sense since Nancy hates him and blames him for breaking up her marriage to Craig. Leo adds that Nancy knew about his list as he was stupid enough to tell her that Chloe was on it. Gwen doesn’t think Nancy would ever stab Sonny or kill Abigail. Gwen says Nancy might hate him, but seems like an actually nice lady that would draw the line at killing people. Leo disagrees and says he wouldn’t put anything past Nancy. Leo then admits that he’s trying to picture Nancy stabbing someone, so maybe it wasn’t her.

Nancy announces that she can’t be with Clyde anymore as he’s obviously not the man that she thought he was. Clyde argues that he is and says it wasn’t about anything illegal. Nancy doesn’t want to hear his excuses and says she can’t keep doing this. Nancy then asks if Clyde is cheating on her. Clyde swears there is no other woman. Nancy asks if there’s another man like with Craig. Clyde promises there is no man or woman. Nancy questions what the hell he’s keeping from her then. Clyde then pulls out a ring box from his pocket and reveals it’s this.

Sonny tells Will and Chad that he was attacked from behind, so he never saw the attacker’s face. Chad suggests Marlena hypnotizing him to get his memory back. Will calls that a good idea but mentions that Marlena is under the weather so she can’t do it. Chad then suggests they don’t need Marlena and maybe they can help him get his memory back. Chad encourages Sonny to concentrate on exactly what happened when he was stabbed. Will doesn’t want Sonny to have to relive that moment but Sonny says it’s okay since Will is with him and if it gets too hard, they can just stop. Chad says he doesn’t have to do anything that he doesn’t want to do. Sonny says he wants to do it as he wants to understand what happened to him and who is responsible.

Jack tells Xander that he made his career as a reporter by seeking out the facts and not rushing to judgment but based on all the evidence the police has, he finds it very likely that Leo is the killer. Xander hopes they find him soon if that’s the case. Xander says his heart goes out to Jack for having to suffer through this investigation to find out who is responsible. Xander decides he’s going home to try and figure out how to win back his wife. Jack encourages that Sarah will come around because she loves him.

Sarah questions Maggie saying she should just forgive Xander and chalk it up to one of his many mistakes. Maggie clarifies that she’s not telling her what to do, but yesterday was their third wedding day in the past year and a half. Maggie knows it hasn’t been easy for them, but Xander spent most of that time thinking she wanted nothing to do with him, yet he never stopped loving her. Maggie offers to have Henderson take her bag up to her old room or she can go back home and start that honeymoon with her husband. Maggie asks Sarah which it will be.

Clyde explains that he didn’t want Ben to spill the beans before he had a chance to pop the question. Clyde says it’s nothing fancy but it’s all he could afford. Clyde tells Nancy that he’s trying to be the man that is worthy of a woman like her, so he wants to do this right. Clyde then gets down on one knee and proposes to Nancy.

Leo agrees with Gwen that Nancy is no killer but he thought she was the most likely suspect since he did ruin her life. Gwen points out that Nancy’s isn’t the only life he’s ruined and brings up his ex-husband Jackie Cox aka Darius Rose. Gwen says he’d have a pretty big axe to grind since he was going to take Craig’s money to split it but then stabbed them in the back..

Will tells Sonny to relax and try to go back to being in his office right after Leo left. Sonny remembers going to get a file, hearing a noise, and then the pain in his back and it goes black. Will asks about the noise he heard or if he heard or saw anything. Sonny then remembers smelling vanilla.

Nancy calls the proposal unexpected. Clyde’s having a hard time figuring out how she feels since she’s about to cry. Nancy says she’s just emotional because not too long ago, she felt rejected and foolish because she found out Craig, her husband of 30 years, didn’t love her and now she feels wanted and loved, so this means more than he’ll ever know. Nancy cries that it makes her feel hopeful. Clyde is happy to hear that because she is wanted and loved. Clyde says he’s a lucky man to have her in his life. Clyde understands he had given her plenty to be doubtful about. Nancy then accepts his proposal and they kiss.

Leo tells Gwen that she didn’t stab Darius in the back, but she’s right that he totally ruined his life but mentions that he got deported back to Canada. Gwen asks how he could come back twice to kill Abigail and stab Sonny then. Leo notes that’s a good point and talks about Darius being unable to stand the sight of blood, so there’s no way he did it. Gwen says that crosses Darius off the list then. Leo questions who it was then.

Will, Sonny, and Chad talk about whoever stabbed Sonny smelling like vanilla. Chad talks about showing up to the office and seeing Sonny bleeding on the floor, so he worried that he lost him too. Sonny assures that he’s not going anywhere.

Chad goes to see Jack and tells him that Sonny is doing much better, but much to his surprise and disappointment, Sonny is not entirely convinced that Leo is guilty. Jack notes that Xander was just there and said basically the same thing.

Xander goes home and tells himself that he has to get this right as his marriage and his whole life depends on it. Xander starts writing a text message to Sarah, but Sarah then comes home. Xander asks if she came back to get more of her stuff. Sarah says no and that she’s bringing her stuff back because she realizes that she may have overreacted. Xander says she was right to be upset with him. Sarah responds that she wasn’t right to give up on him because she loves him and made a commitment to him. Xander says he loves her so much as they kiss. Xander asks if this means she’s back. Sarah says on the condition that he has to promise to never pull anything like that again. Xander agrees because she does make him a better man and she’s all he needs or wants as they continue kissing.

Clyde puts the ring on Nancy’s finger. She calls it beautiful. Clyde promises to do the best he can to make her happy and help put her painful past behind her. Someone then enters the Pub, surprising them.

Leo wonders who hates him enough to set him up for murder. Leo then has an epiphany. Gwen questions what it is. Leo calls it a vivid image in his mind. Leo declares that he knows who the murdering bastard is, who killed Abigail and almost killed Sonny. Leo then announces that he knows who it is for real this time…

Nancy and Clyde are shocked as Craig Wesley enters the Pub.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, good talking with you. Yeah. And hey, keep this under your hat, will you? The last thing I’d want is for Nancy to find out, right. Okay.

What a pleasant surprise.

This is a bad time. Oh, no, no, not at all. But how’s everything going with the new bride? It’s a disaster.

Sarah. What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on your honeymoon? The honeymoon is over. So is my marriage.

They’re married. It’s over.

Who’s, there’s

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

Hey, Na. What you doing? You hid for me. Um, no, I um, I just saw that you were on the phone and I, uh, didn’t wanna interrupt. Yeah, I was just catching up with Ben. Uh, Roman doesn’t like me to make calls on the clock, you know. Oh, you were speaking to Ben? Yep. How are he and Sierra doing? Oh, man. Just living the dream.

They’ve already sailed up the Nova Scotia. They’re just on the beach digging clams. Sounds lovely. Yeah. Now, I don’t think I could make you fresh clams, but I could probably whip up something to tickle your fancy. Why don’t you come on in. I got another 20 minutes before my break is open. So Leo was actually in your room?

Yeah. Trust like a nurse. And he took off before the cops showed up. I don’t, I don’t get it. The, the, the killer who stabbed you is, is out there, and why, why, why isn’t there police stationed at the door? Because I don’t need. At least not from Lay. Why? Why would you say that? Because,

okay, look,

this is just a gut feeling. Okay. And yes, he did sneak in here and it disguise, but it wasn’t to kill me.

I know this. I know this might sound crazy, but. I’m starting to think that Leo really is innocent.

Please, please, please. You have to help me. The cups are after me. They think I killed Abigail and stab son. I know Matt’s all over the, But I’m innocent. I’m being framed. Oh God. What am I gonna do? Here’s a thing. I can handle this. You can this. I’m going to find the police and tell them that you’ve just confessed after all.

That’s what you did to me, isn’t it?

Disaster. Sandra, what happened? Sarah packed a bag and went home to Maggie. It’s, it’s been 24 hours. And your wedding was yesterday. I know that Jack, Sandra, what on earth did you do Sleigh with Nicole. You slept with Nicole again? Oh, Jack, just the one time last year, but I made the stupid mistake telling Sarah about it.

Now she wants nothing to do with me. Can you believe that Sandra would do this? I mean, first he sleeps with Nicole, but then he uses their little fling to publicly break up her marriage. Yeah, I remember. It was awful. You knew about it and you didn’t tell me. I Honey I didn’t tell you because I thought you already knew.

I thought you had heard about it or the Xander had told you when you first got back together. And even if I didn’t think you knew, it wasn’t my place to tell you. I know I am. You’re right. But

mom, I didn’t hear about it and Zer Sure has held, didn’t tell me. Too late until I made this stupid mistake of marrying him. No, honey, it wasn’t a mistake. Well, how can you say that? Why would I wanna be married to a man who could be so reckless and then so cruel? Who would break up someone’s marriage for profit?

Why aren’t you saying anything?

Do not tell me that you’re gonna take his side on this. I’m not taking sides. I’m, I’m really not. But I don’t see why it’s a deal maker. Suzanne was going through a terrible time. He, he was feeling rejected and lonely and missing you and wondering why you had left him, what was supposed to be your wedding day.

Mm-hmm. Don’t, do not make excuses for. I’m just telling you how I feel about it. It’s obviously up to you how you’re gonna react or what you’re gonna decide to do. Yes, yes, yes it is. It’s up to me and I have decided that I wanna be the hell away from him. Okay? I won’t stand in your way. Not that I could stand in your way, but Sarah,

what? You know, I just say it. I don’t know if this is gonna affect your decision, but if you leave Xander and your marriage, I can think of someone who’s gonna be very happy about it. I cannot believe that you’re going there. I’m just saying No. What you’re just doing is bringing up one of the most horrible and evil women on the planet, insinuating that if I leave Xander, then win is just gonna swoop right?

Well, Sarah, don’t you think that’s true?

Hmm? Now should I call the station directly? Maybe RA 20. I’m sorry. I never should have told the police you confessed. I didn’t want to. It was my lawyer’s idea. Oh my God. Are you seriously blaming your lawyer? Oh, Sloane is a shark. She convinced me I had to give the police something, something that something was me.

You threw me under the bus just like you did. Stupid mask. And you know what? Moving right along to current events really bad for Mattie, hanging around in the office right after the stabbing of, So Carus leaving your list out there and playing daylight so Chad can come after you. It’s like you always wanted to be cool or something.

No, I didn’t wanna be caught. And the only thing I was caught doing was being in the wrong place at the wrong. Did you miss the part where I said I was being framed? Gwen, somebody is trying to set me up and you are the only person who can help me figure out who it is. Just hear me out, okay? If at the end of this conversation you don’t believe me, call the cops, Gwen, please.

You are the only friend I have in the world. I have nowhere else to go. Nobody else I can turn. You have no idea what it’s like to feel so completely alone.

Actually, I do.

Right. Go on then. You’ve got 10 minutes talk.

You actually think Leo is innocent? Well, if he was guilty, why wouldn’t he have just killed me as soon as he came in? So what did he do? Nothing he, he just asked me a bunch of questions about when I was stabbed. He wanted to know every detail. Oh, that was an act to get you to let your guard down. I was laying here completely helpless, and yet he didn’t even try to hurt.

And he said the only reason he came to the office was to get Alex to back off. That actually makes sense. Well, that was probably another lie. God, okay, look, I know that you think I’m just being gullible or whatever, but I’m not. If he wanted to kill me, he would’ve just done it. Then in there he wouldn’t have left and then come back.

It doesn’t. It doesn’t make any sense. And guess what? He finally actually apologized for Leaking those photos to the intruder. He, Leo admitted that he did that. Well, we, he didn’t exactly. Drugging me or taking the pictures. You know what? Whatever. In spite of all that, whatever he did or didn’t do when I showed up to your office, he was standing over your bloody body.

How do you explain that?

That is your favorite, Isn’t it? Club sandwich on a ride? You, you just, you’re just not hungry. Um, I guess I’m just worried about Chloe. I mean that horrible deal Stark is still on the loose. Oh, well both she and Brady are on that hipness of his, Yeah, appreciate your concern. But the police have a assigned security to both of them.

Yes, and And I have warn Chloe that she needs to be on her guard. I don’t think you got anything to worry about really. I mean that Brady’s a pretty tough guy. He is very protective of the people he loves. You don’t think he’d let that little twerp touch a single hair in her head? Dude, you’re probably right.

Brady. Never let anything happen to Chloe. Of course, I’m right. You should know it better than to doubt me by now.

I can’t do this. I, I, I can’t pretend anymore when nothing’s going right. I mean, I have done that for most of my life and it has not surfed me well, sweetheart, what is it that’s troubling you so bad? Clyde, I know you’re lying to me.

And even if Leo could have stabbed you when he came to your office the first time and didn’t, why did he come back? And why did I find him standing over you with a knife in your back?

Because he said he needed his parking malade Sunny. I know. Come on. I know it’s a little, a little weird and far fact, I know

that huge heart of yours and that desire to see the best in people. It’s one of the, the many, many reasons that I love you so much, but we both know. That Leo is incapable of being honest. We know that. So what makes you think that this is the one time he’s telling the truth that he didn’t stab you or Abigail?

I don’t know. I don’t know. It’s just like, Gut feeling okay, but it’s a strong one.

It’s a really strong one.

Sarah can’t really be that upset about your one. Nice. Stand with Nicole, can’t she? I mean, after, Oh, she got over the fact that you were engaged to Gwen and married to Chanel Dupree. Right. Yeah, she did. But the one night stand with Nicole isn’t the reason she’s so upset. I mean, she’s not thrilled with it, obviously, but it’s not why she left.

Then what was just that? I used my, having slept with Nicole to bust stuff, Eric and Nicole’s marriage. Oh, I see. And I did it because Sammy paid me a million bucks, all of which. Just admitted to Sarah. Well, in that case, I, I understand Sarah’s reaction. Hey, that’s the last thing I need to hear, right? My, sorry.

What do I need to hear? How can I help? Well, you can tell me what I can do to fix this. What can I do to make Sarah forget that she married an idiot? I, I really don’t have the answer. Of course you do, Jack. I mean, you’re able to help me before and brilliantly so come on. What your magic again, tell me what I can do to get Sarah back, please.

Why would I even wanna think about that horrible woman right now? Like, God, Mom, my marriage just ended. I know, honey, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gone there. What? You’re right. Since you did for the record, even if when Riz check did try to get Xander back, there is no way he would go back to her. Not now.

After he knows all of the awful things that she did.

What? What are you thinking now?

It’s just that Gwen is a very manipulative person. Look how hard she tried to keep you and Xandra apart when you first came back. And if she thinks you’ve left Xander willingly, don’t you think that she’s gonna try every trick in the book to take advantage of that situation? Hell, she’s probably over there in this hotel room, right?

Pouring him a few drinks and offering him a shoulder to cry on. Perhaps more than a shoulder to cry on. Now that I think, Whoa, that I’m stop.

Well, I’ll say that we need to figure it out. Surely you must have some idea of who it is. I do, I’m thinking it over and it has to be somebody who hates me. Wow. Brilliant. Share luck. Okay, give me a break. Day mag, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m slightly round. Okay. Right. Okay. Alright. I say that it’s somebody who hates you, as obvious as that is.

I believe that that’s true. Doesn’t really narrow it down then does it? Sorry. From one town pariah to another. There’s no shortage of people in this town who would like to see us both disappear for a very long time. True, but whoever’s trying to frame me isn’t someone who just hates me. It’s someone who really has an ax to grind against me.

Oh my God. I know who it is. It’s Nancy. Me lying to you. But what are you talking about? How Clyde, you can just. Cut the act. I know that wasn’t been, you were speaking with on the phone before. Of course it was. Really? Then why did you say, uh, you didn’t want me to find out what you were talking about? Oh, oh, Nancy, that.

Is not what you think, just save it. I, I know that whatever you’re up to is illegal or immoral and I don’t want any part of it. We’re through Clyde. We are through.

How can you tell me that Gwen is gonna use our breakup to manipulate Xander to taking her back? Do you actually think that that’s helpful to me? Right. I, I’m just trying to make a point, which is what, Okay. You know, when you were gone, Xander was a mess. He was drinking all the time. He was doing anything to stop thinking about you and to stop the pain of losing.

You see, I think that since you and Sandra first met, you’ve known. Moral compass isn’t an infallible guy, and more recently you must have accepted that you’ve married someone who’s made a lot of mistakes just like I did darling. When I married Victor, I vowed to love all of. The good and the bad, and I’m not saying there is absolutely nothing that I won’t forgive, but I’ve promised myself that I won’t blame Victor for his past, and I don’t think you should blame Sandra Freeze.

I wish I could give you a magic fix for the damage that you’ve done to your relationship with Sarah, but I honestly don’t know what that would be. Maybe because there is no fix. I No, no, no. I didn’t say that. No, never mind. Jack is honestly just, just you being here listening, not judging it’s, it’s enough and looking to other people to fix my problems.

Like, for instance, accepting a million dollars from Sammy. What got me into this situation in the first place. I’m glad to hear you say that, Sandra. That’s just some real emotional growth. I’m not sure about all that, but look enough about me. Is there any word on Abigail’s case? Well, I just got a call from ra, unfortunately.

Leo Stark is still on the loose. So Leo is the prime suspect,

not just in Abigail’s murder,

but in your cousin’s son’s stabbing as well. I heard about that, but the cop sure it was him. I. And overly is a scam artist and a bassoon, but not convinced the guy a killer, but who honestly defending me are stark. Oh, he is hardly one of my favorite people, that’s for sure. But you certainly are, Jack. I wanna make sure you get real justice for Abergil.

The right person gets locked up forever and call a gut feeling. I’m just not sure that that person is Leo Stark.

Nancy. Nancy Wesley. Mm-hmm. . You think she’s the one who’s framing you? It makes perfect sense. She hates me. I, I stole her husband. She blames me for breaking up her marriage even though that marriage was doomed because he was a closet case and she was burying her head in the sand. But still, as far as that fey annoying woman is concerned.

Had I not come along, she and Craig would still be living. Revoltingly phony, marital bliss. Miss Poet. Plus, she knew about my list. I was stupid enough to tell her that her even fe your daughter Chloe was on it. That woman. What a whiny humorless bore. I don’t see what Brady Black see her. Okay. Can we just stick to the point here?

Okay. And I’m sorry to burst your bubble, Matt, but I don’t think that that Fey woman, Nancy, that is, would ever stab sunny or kill my sister. Yes, she might hate you, but. I don’t know. She seems like she’s actually a nice little lady. I think she draws the line at killing people. Oh, I disagree, honey. That woman is sweet the way I am straight and I wouldn’t put anything past her.

Although now that you mention it, trying to picture her stabbing someone to death or almost to death. Oh no, you’re right. Maybe it wasn’t Nancy.

I, um, just can’t be with you anymore. You are obviously not the man that I thought you were. I what I am, Nancy. When I said I didn’t want you to find out, it wasn’t about anything illegal. You know what? I don’t wanna hear your excuses. It may technically not be illegal, but you know, it’s something that I wouldn’t approve of.

I mean, Clyde, I can’t keep doing. Unless, Are you cheating on me? Is there another woman, sweetheart, I swear in my grandson’s life, there is no other woman

then is there another man? Am I your beard like I was for my husband for over 30 years? I promise you. There is no other man. There is no other woman. And what is it you’re keeping from me? What the hell is the big secret?

I never saw my attacker. They came from behind him. I never got a chance to see their face. What if Marla hypnotized you then? Then maybe you could get your memory. Um, that’s a good idea, but I don’t think she’ll be able to do it. She’s, she’s under the weather. Okay. Well, maybe we don’t need Marla. Right.

Maybe we can help you get your memory back. We just need to, you just, you just need to concentrate on exactly what. When you were stabbed and then, and then you could get rid of any lingering doubts and plus it would help the cops. No. No. Why no? Why no. Because you nearly died and I don’t want, I don’t want him to have to relive that moment.

It’s okay. You’re here with me, and if it’s too hard, we can, we can just stop. Hey, he doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t wanna do. I want to do it. I wanna remember it. I, I wanna understand what happened to me and who’s responsible.

I made my career as a reporter seeking out facts, not rushing to judgment, and based on all the evidence that police have, I find it very likely that Leo is the killer. Well, if that’s the case, then I hope they find him soon and my god, Chad, my goes out. And not just for the last of your wonderful daughter, but for having to suffer through this investigation, trying to find out who’s responsible.

Thank you. Thank you, Sam. Well taken up enough of your time. I’m gonna go home and try and figure out how to win back my wife. Don’t worry. She’ll come around as you know, because she loves you.

So you’re just saying, I should forgive Xander and chalk it up to one of his many mistakes. Sweetheart, I’m not telling you what to do, but yesterday it was your wedding day, your third, and this past year and a half on your first wedding day. I, I know it hasn’t been easy for you and Xander, but Xander spent most of this year and a half thinking that you didn’t want anything to do with him, and yet he never stopped loving you.

So if that isn’t for better or for worse, I don’t know what he is. So, um, I can have Henderson take your bag up to your old room, or you can go back home and you can, you can start that honeymoon with your husband.

So, which will it be?

What is that, ? Well, what do you think it is?

This is what I was talking about on the phone before when I was talking to Ben. You see, I didn’t want him to spill the beans before I had a chance to pop the question. It’s, it’s nothing fancy. It’s all that I could afford. Nancy, I’ve told you before, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart, I’m trying to be the kind of man that is worthy of a woman like you.

So with that in mind, I, I wanna do this right? So,

Nancy Miller, I love you and I promise you from this moment, I will dedicate myself to making you happy. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?

You’re right. Nancy Miller is no killer. I just thought she was the most likely suspect since I did kind of ruin her life. Mm, yeah. Well, hers isn’t the only life you ruined. What about your ex-husband? Who? Jackie Cox, AKA Darius Rose. Oh, right. Him. I’d say he has a pretty big ax to grind, wouldn’t you? Since you were going to take Craig’s money and split it with Darius and then he stabbed them in the back.

Okay. Now that you’re relaxed, And you are relaxed, right? Yeah. And try to go back to when you were in your office right after Leo left. Can you remember exactly where you were? It was at my desk

and I needed a file. Good. So you’re at the file. My back pushed to the door and I heard a noise and I started to turn around, but before I couldn’t. It’s okay. It’s okay. Take, take your time. But before I could, I felt this pain in my back like this sharing, and then it just goes black. Okay. Um, okay. Let’s, let’s go back to when you, when you heard the noise, um, what did it, what did it sound like?

I don’t know. I don’t know. It was just, it was just like a, a noise. Okay. Okay. Um, then you, you said, go back to right when you, you’re turning around. Did you see anything? Did you hear anything? Vanilla? You heard vanilla? No. I smelled it. Whoever came into my office smelled my vanilla.

Well, this is unexpected. Um, I’m having a hard. Figure out how you feel about this. You, you’re about to cry, . I know. I’m just emotional. Are you sad? No, I’m emotional because not too long ago I was rejected. I felt rejected and foolish because the man I had been married to for 30 years to find out that he, he didn’t love me.

You know, to feel wanted and loved and cried just means more to me than you’ll never know. It just makes me feel so hopeful. It makes me happy to hear that because you are wanted and you are loved, because you are a wonderful woman, Nancy, and I’m a lucky man to have you in my life.

God and all the time I was upset and you were doing this special proposal for me. Well, Lord knows, with my checkered past I’ve given you plenty to be doubtful about. Fancy my knees ain’t what they used to be, and I really need to know now, is it a yes or no? Definitely.

I did not stab Darius in the back. I was speaking metaphor. But you’re right. I did totally ruin his life. Not only did he miss out on a big payday, Pol got deported back to Canada going, You’re a genius. You just blew the case wide open. No, I don’t think I did because see, if he was deported back, oh, he was, send me a bunch of texts whining about being back in the land of carbs.

What with all that Maple syrup and putan. Okay. Matt, Focus. Right. If Darius was deported back to Canada, how could he come back here twice to kill Abigail and stab son? Hmm, good point. And now that I think about it, that queen can’t stand the side of blood. One time he cut himself shaving, passed out, nearly drowned Trump.

He was in the tub, he was shading in the tub. His legs gony. There’s no way he did it. Rise. Well that crosses Darius off the list then.

Well, if it wasn’t Darius, who was it? Whoever attacked you smelled like vanilla believe. That’s all I remember. I wish I could be more helpful to you guys. You, you already did the most important thing you survived. And thank God when I showed up to that office and I saw you bleeding on the floor, right?

I was very worried. But not that I lost you too. Don’t worry buddy. Not come anywhere.

Hey. Hey, Jennifer’s upstairs. She’s putting the kids to sleep. How Sunny. Much better. Thank God. Glad to hear it, but much to my surprise and disappointment, Sunny is an entirely convinced that Leo Stark is guilty. Really, Sandra was just here. He said basically the same thing. Come on Sandra. You gotta get this right.

Your marriage, your, your own life depends on

Dear Sarah, You cannot possibly fathom the depths of regret that I lost too much Sarah. Hi. So, uh, are you back to get more of your stuff? No, that bag is full of the stuff I took to my mom’s. I’m bringing it back. Oh. Hmm. Is that because, Because Sandra.

I realize I may have overreacted to what you told me about Nicole and the aftermath of that. No. Sarah, you didn’t overreact. You, You were right to be upset with me. Yeah, but I,

I wasn’t right to give up on you cause I love you. And I made a commitment to you. Oh, I love you too, Sarah. So much, so, so very much.

Wait, does this mean that you’re back on one condition? You, you have to promise now that we are married, you will never pull anything like that again. Never . Because you do make me a better man. Cause you’re all I need. You’re all I one,

almost forgot.

It’s such a beautiful ring for my beautiful bride and like I said, I’m do the best I can to make you happy and help you put your painful bass behind you. Oh my God.

Who would do this? Who hates me enough to set me up for murder?

Oh, good Lord. What? It’s an epiphany. I’m having an epiphany and I’m totally sober. This is a first. Okay. Tell me, tell me what it’s, What is the D epiphany? It’s a mental image in technical I might add that is practically blinding my mind’s eye with its vividness. Oh, of god sake. Louis, what are you trying to say?

That I know who the murdering bastard is? The stab happy sadist who killed Abigail Dir and almost killed Sunny Curus. Oh my God. Gwennie. I know who it is for real this time. Craig?

Stefan said they were practically strangers so he wanted to know why he was happy to see him. EJ knew they would do great things together. He suggested getting rid of Gabi from the company. Stefan smirked at him while he was talking. Kristen accused Brady of killing Philip in cold blood. He denied killing him, but Kristen reminded him about the charges that were against him. She also mentioned him being drunk. Kristen gave the judge the evidence about Brady. Brady told the judge the charges didn’t have any bearing on the type of father he is. He told the judge that no one was hurt. He told the judge about Kristen’s past actions.
