Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Cell door opening]

Gwen: [Sighs] Well, they told me I had a visitor. Didn’t expect to see you so soon.

Leo: I have something to tell you.

Gwen: About what?

Leo: Your sister.

[Tense music]

Lucas: [Exhales deeply] Ow. Ah. Ow, my head.

[Groaning]

[Dramatic music]

What the hell– what the hell did I do last night?

Kayla: How can abigail be gone?

Steve: Doesn’t seem real.

Kayla: She was just here– she was just here for a physical. She was–she was– she was in perfect health. Our sweet, beautiful niece was so full of energy and enthusiasm for life. And she wanted to have a baby. Now– [Groans]

Steve: I know. I know.

[Soft dramatic music]

Kayla: Oh, jenn. Oh, jenn, I’m so, so sorry. I am so sorry. I’m sorry.

Jack: [Sighs]

Kayla: I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

[Somber music]

Abigail: Well, look what the cat dragged in.

Chad: Abby?

Abigail: Honey, where you been? I was waiting for you. What’s wrong? You look like you just lost your best friend.

Chad: That’s because I did.

[Crying]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Lucas: You can’t blame this on losing adrienne or your son. This is all on you, you complete loser. You’re weak. You’re pathetic. You’re a complete embarrassment. Ow! Ow. Ow! What the hell happened to my hand? I can’t remember. I can’t remember anything after I polished that bottle off. Think. Come on. Think, you idiot. Think. I can’t remember anything after I fell off the wagon, but, obviously, I hurt my hand. Please, god, don’t let me have hurt anyone else.

Kayla: We can’t begin to tell you how sorry we are.

Steve: Listen, we’re here for you. Whatever you need, okay?

Kayla: Right. I mean, do you– do you want to go sit down, go to my office?

Steve: I could get you some tea, something to eat.

Jennifer: Could we see her? I’d like to see my daughter.

Kayla: Of course, honey.

Jennifer: God.

Kayla: I got you.

Jennifer: Okay.

[Soft dramatic music]

Chad: [Laughing softly]

Abigail: You really look like hell.

[Doorbell rings] You better get that.

[Doorbell rings] I don’t think they’re gonna go away. It’s all right, honey, I’ll wait for you.

Chad: [Sniffles] Abby? Abby, come back, please!

[Doorbell rings]

[Dramatic music]

Rafe: Chad. I hate to bother you at a time like this. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Chad: I don’t want your sympathy, rafe. I want you to tell me who did this to my wife.

Gwen: Abigail’s dead?

Leo: She was murdered. Someone stabbed her to death in her bedroom.

Gwen: Was it you?

Chad: Who did this to my wife, rafe? I need you to find who did this.

Rafe: And we will. Csu was here all night gathering evidence; that’s why you couldn’t get back in until this morning. Everything is at the lab right now. It’s being tested as we speak.

Chad: Did you find a murder weapon?

Rafe: Not yet.

Chad: Do you have any suspects?

Rafe: Chad, listen to me, we have every available officer out there right now looking, chasing down leads, searching. We don’t have anyone in custody yet.

Chad: Then what are you doing here?

Rafe: Chad, I came here because I wanted to see the crime scene. I had to ask some questions myself.

Chad: Ask them.

Rafe: Okay. I want you to go with me up to the bedroom. Listen, you can take your time. Whenever you’re ready.

Chad: If I go up there, is it gonna help you catch the person who did this to my wife and send them straight to hell?

Rafe: Yes.

Chad: Okay, then I’m ready.

[Tense music]

[Laughter]

Abigail: Harold was looking at us kind of oddly.

Chad: He’s never seen two people kissing before.

Abigail: In this house, maybe not.

Chad: Mm.

[Laughs softly]

Rafe: Take your time.

Chad: Hey, baby, you missed the best “minions” movie yet. Abby? Abby!

[Tense music]

Jennifer: [Exhales sharply]

[Breathing shakily]

[Soft dramatic music]

[Gasps] No! No! No! No! No!

Jennifer: [Breathing shakily] Can we have a minute alone with her?

Kayla: Take all the time you need.

[Somber music]

Jennifer: [Sobbing]

Leo: Why would you think that I killed abigail?

Gwen: You were in her house last night.

Leo: But you sent me there.

Gwen: I sent you directions to the secret room, where you were obviously lying in wait.

Leo: Um, no, I was drinking mimosas and working out a plan for revenge, which did not include me going all norman bates.

Gwen: Listen, if anyone understands, it is me. I understand the resentment and the rage that you felt when you crept out of that room and into abigail’s bedroom and you got that revenge that you so bloody well deserved.

[Dramatic music]

Rafe: Csu took the bedding for analysis. What’s in this box?

Chad: Some of abigail’s jewelry and some cash.

Rafe: Uh-huh. It looks like the lock’s been tampered with. Was it always that way?

Chad: No.

Rafe: No?

[Mysterious music]

Yeah. Can you give me a list of things that were in there?

Chad: Yeah, and–and, um, I’ll send you some photos that we had taken for insurance purposes too.

Rafe: Okay, great. That would be helpful.

Chad: Do you think this is a robbery gone wrong?

Rafe: It’s hard to say. Some other pricey items were here, like abigail’s laptop, so maybe someone just wanted to make it look like a robbery.

Chad: There was so much blood.

Rafe: Yeah. Well, maybe not all of it was abigail’S. The lab will check to determine if some of it belonged to someone else. We both know that abigail was a fighter, so whoever did this, well, they probably have wounds of their own.

Lucas: Hey, roman. Is my mom here?

Roman: No, she went to see chad.

Lucas: Good. That means I got a little time before she kills me for standing her up last night.

Roman: You haven’t heard?

Lucas: Heard what?

Roman: Lucas, you better have a sit.

Lucas: Please, tell me this has nothing to do with the devil and one of my kids. I can’t take that right now.

Roman: Look, this isn’t easy to say, so I’m just gonna say it. Abigail was murdered last night.

[Tense music]

Jennifer: Abigail johanna, my sweet child, my firstborn. You look so peaceful, like you’re sleeping. You never slept when you were a baby. You insisted on keeping those big, beautiful eyes wide open so you wouldn’t miss a thing. That was you, curious and alert from the moment you came into this world. You were this tiny, tiny little soul, so very fragile, and yet so incredibly strong. And you used that strength to fight. Whatever challenges life threw at you, you faced them. You overcame them with courage and with grace, just like your grandma laura. You always reminded me of her in that way, that strength, that fighting spirit. My extraordinary daughter, nothing I have ever done or will do will make me as proud as I am to be your mother. Take care of her, mom. You take care of my baby. ‘Cause I don’t know what I’m gonna do without her. Oh, jack! Oh, god!

[Sobbing]

Leo: That is a really nice story, guinevere, but it’s fiction. I did not kill abigail dimera.

Gwen: Really?

Leo: Really.

Gwen: Sorry. I just had to ask since you were in her house last night. So tell me, did you see anything?

Leo: What do you mean?

Gwen: I mean, you said that abigail was attacked in her bedroom. You weren’t up there at all, were you?

[Dramatic music]

Leo: Of course not. Now, if you’re done grilling me, I have a question of my own I’d like to ask.

Gwen: By all means.

Leo: You called me yesterday all hot and bothered because abigail had broken your little arts and crafts project.

Gwen: It was a mug that I made for my father for his birthday.

Leo: You asked abigail to deliver it. Instead, she dropped it on the floor, on purpose, which made you real mad. Mad enough that you told me to, and I quote, “find the nearest sharp object and use it to stab abigail through the heart.”

Gwen: Okay, you said you had a question?

Leo: Oh, right. Those instructions you gave me about the sharp object, any chance you followed through with them yourself?

Gwen: I haven’t a clue what you mean.

Leo: Oh, well, then allow me to rephrase. Did you kill abigail? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Chad: So what’s your take? You think it’s a robbery?

Rafe: Well, like I said, it’s possible. Robbery or no robbery, we will find them. We will follow every lead. We will pore over every shred of evidence. We will not stop until we get justice for abigail. If there’s anything you need, you call me.

[Somber music]

Gwen: How could I possibly have killed abigail?

Leo: From all reports, with a very sharp knife.

Gwen: You do realize that I am here in prison, don’t you? I’m locked up 24 hours a day.

[Mysterious music]

Guard: Hey! Rizczech!

Gwen: Oh. Hi, roy.

Guard: You missed bed check. Where the hell have you been?

Gwen: I have a pass to use the library. You can ask the matron.

Guard: We searched the library.

Gwen: Well, I fell asleep in a corner. I just woke up. Come on, roy. Where else could I have been? This place is surrounded 18-foot walls. There’s razor wire and guards with guns.

Leo: Yes, yes, dear, I know. But of all the ways abigail could have died, it happened exactly the way you wanted it to. And you sure did want it to happen.

Gwen: Okay, I will admit, yes, I did have a motive. But I did not have the means. And as far as opportunity, I mean, look around, matty. It’s just not possible.

Abigail: Come here, my love. Let’s make a baby.

[Somber music]

Chad: We can’T.

Abigail: I thought that’s what you wanted.

Chad: It is. I want that so much. But you’re gone. I need you to tell me what to do. How am I gonna tell the children that we do have that they’re never gonna see their mother again?

Jennifer: Go to her, jack.

Jack: I–I– I don’t want to say goodbye.

Jennifer: You don’t have to. Just say whatever’s in your heart.

[Soft dramatic music]

Jack: Abigail, my dear, sweet, precious girl… I’m sorry. For so many things, I’m sorry. I know you’d tell me not to– not to be, but I can’t help it. I am. I’m sorry for never being the father you deserved, for being selfish, for always falling short. All of it. I– I will always regret that. More than anything, I will regret taking you for granted, for assuming we had all the time in the world. I–I was starting to get the hang of it, you know? Being a good dad. And we were getting closer. And, oh, did you make me proud as a journalist, a mother, a human being. You inspired me. You taught me. In your all-too-short life, you gave me so much. Most of all, you gave me– you gave me hope. You were my light, abigail. In my darkest days, the light of your love kept me going and helped me find my way. And now some– someone cruel and dark has taken your light away. I don’t know if I’ll ever find my way out of this darkness.

[Dramatic music]

Are you one of the millions of americans

Abigail: Honey, it’s okay. Come here. Please.

Chad: Maybe–maybe I could just hold you one last time.

[Sobbing]

[Soft dramatic music]

Leo: Oh, come on. Like people haven’t busted out of here?

Gwen: Yeah, sure, people with cash, connections, the last name dimera. I am naught for three.

Leo: I suppose that’s true. So if you didn’t do it, and I didn’t do it, it would appear that somebody else did our dirty work for us.

Gwen: Hm.

Lucas: [Crying]

Roman: Lucas, I am so sorry. I know how much you loved your niece.

Lucas: Abigail was an angel. What happened to her is unimaginable. It takes me back to losing will. You know, no parent should ever have to feel that pain.

Roman: No, no. Is there anything you need? Anything I can get you? What did you do there?

Lucas: It’s nothing. It’s nothing to worry about. I have a splitting headache right now. I’ll take an aspirin if you’ve got one.

Roman: Sure. Be right back.

Kate: I just had a talk with chad.

Lucas: So what? What’s the big deal?

Kate: So the big deal is that he thought I should know that he told abigail that you’re the one who kidnapped sami.

Lucas: What? Oh, what did I do?

[Doorbell rings]

Kate: Oh, god. I’m so sorry.

Chad: Are you?

[ Screaming ]

Kate: Of course, I’m sorry. I’m heartbroken.

Chad: Shh!

[Tense music]

Kate: Where is this coming from? What did I do wrong?

Chad: You tell me.

Kate: I–I’m lost. I’m lost.

Chad: Really? Remember our–our conversation yesterday where I did you the enormous courtesy of telling you that I had told abigail the truth about lucas, hm? And you completely lost it?

Kate: Chad, I was–I was shocked, I was surprised.

Chad: No! No! No! You lost it! And then you ripped into me for not keeping my mouth shut!

Kate: Because I was concerned about my son, that’s why!

Chad: No, you were scared out of youmind that abigail was gonna share what she knew! Even after I told you that you had nothing to worry about, that she wouldn’t tell anyone! You said that that wasn’t good enough! That you–look at me! That you needed assurances that she wouldn’t tell anyone that lucas was the one that kidnapped sami!

Kate: [Spluttering]

Chad: Oh. Oh, what? Am I–was I–oh, shh. Was that too loud? Did you want me to keep my voice down? Huh? No one is here! Ej is at marlena’s with the kids! Tony and anna are gone! Harold is off! And my wife is dead! Is that good enough for your assurance?

Kate: Oh, my god, you think that I killed abigail to keep her quiet? Is that what you think?

Chad: Look at me. Did you?

Leo: I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Although, you don’t seem that broken up about it.

Gwen: I do feel bad for jack.

Leo: Uh-huh.

Gwen: But you– well, you must be ecstatic with the unexpected assist.

Leo: Perhaps I wasn’t clear earlier. I wanted revenge against abigail badly. But I think what happened to her is horrible. It makes me sick, actually.

Gwen: Excuse me, but this might be just a tad revisionist, given as you were right in this very room just the other day joking about how you wanted to slit abigail’s throat.

Leo: Exactly. I was joking. I have to go.

Gwen: Thank you for filling me in.

Leo: I’m sorry for your loss.

[Mysterious music

Roman: Jennifer, I am so sorry.

Jennifer: Lucas, I’m so glad to see you.

Selling your car

doesn’t have to be hard.

Kate: I can’t begin to imagine the pain you’re going through right now, but I know that you can’t possibly believe that I could have had anything to do with abigail’s death.

Chad: I don’t think–I don’t think you planned it.

Kate: Okay, I– what does that mean?

Chad: I–I think that after our little talk, I think that you–you couldn’t shake your worry about lucas. So you came over here to have a–a little chat with my wife to impress upon her the importance of staying quiet. And my abby, she was taking offense to that, so I think that things maybe–maybe got out of hand a little bit.

Kate: Okay. I understand. But it doesn’t matter how worried I was, I would never ever–

Chad: Would never what? Never what, kate? Go to extremes to protect your kids?

Kate: I know you’re upset. I know that you’re exhausted. And I know that you’re not thinking straight, okay? I know that. But look at me. Look at me. Chad, look at me! I would never kill abigail to keep her quiet, and neither would lucas, okay?

Chad: Lucas? Why would you mention lucas?

Kate: Because that’s what this whole conversation is about. Because you told abigail that lucas was the one that kidnapped sami.

Chad: Yeah, but lucas didn’t know that. Or did he?

Steve: Hey, baby.

Kayla: Oh, hi.

Steve: Are you leaving?

Kayla: Yeah, I–I have to go back to the hospital. But lucas is in there with jennifer. Where’s jack?

Steve: He had something to take care of.

Kayla: What?

Steve: He didn’t say.

[Dramatic music]

Gwen: You didn’t have to bloody break it!

Abigail: Honey, you’re lucky that’s all I broke.

Gwen: It’s okay. I’ll just make another one.

Abigail: Great! Make a whole damn set. Lord knows you’re gonna have plenty of time for it.

Gwen: You selfish bitch! I am going to make you pay for this!

[Cell door opening]

[Suspenseful music]

Leo: Please, please still be here. [Sighs] Yes. I’d have preferred an alamainian emerald, but you will do just fine.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Tripp: Two pair, kings and fives.

Steve: Well, dude, now I see why you’ve been making all those reckless bets. Because you thought you were gonna win this hand. Read ’em and weep. Royal flush, baby.

Tripp: Some father you are. I’m over here recuperating from near-death injuries and you won’t let me win one hand.

Steve: Now, son, would you realeel good about yourself if I just let you win?

Tripp: I wouldn’t feel broke.

Steve: Oh, money isn’t everything. Here’s to more than one full pot.

Kayla: Ooh, how’s it going in here?

Tripp: I owe him 32 bucks. And I thought insurance companies were running up hospital bills.

Kayla: Well, if you switch your stuff to gin rummy, I think the tables might turn.

Steve: Oh yeah, good old gin rummy. Kayla: It’s your favorite game. Steve: So, what do you say? When do you think this superhero can get out of here? He’s going a little stir crazy.

Kayla: Oh, well funny you should ask. I just checked your latest scans and how does tomorrow sound?

Tripp: Oh, that sounds great.

Steve: That is great. By tomorrow night you’ll be sleeping in your own beddie bye.

Tripp: Actually, there’s something I wanted to tell you. I’m not coming home with you guys.

Chanel: I cannot believe we pulled this off. Our biggest cupcake order coming in ten minutes after the bakery’s oven goes down.

Allie: What I don’t get is who knows they needs 300 cupcakes early in the morning and places the order at 5:00 P.M. The night before? Like, they had no advance knowledge that they were gonna need 300 cupcakes? Was it, like, a spur of the moment craving?

Chanel: I think it was some weird cupcake emergency. But luckily, sweet bits was up for the job.

Allie: Well, when the going gets tough, the tough get baking.

Chanel: Yeah, well I don’t feel so tough right now. What I feel is bone-tired. I really do appreciate you coming by to help me after hours.

Allie: Well, I really appreciate you giving me my job back after everything.

Chanel: I love how we now call getting serially possessed by the devil “everything.”

Allie: Well, I mean after everything you went through, okay. I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted me to just be someone you used to know.

Chanel: Well, I did get rid of any devil’s food from the menu.

Allie: I noticed. Although I’ve, like, barely had a moment to breathe today. I don’t remember the bakery ever being this busy. Seriously, how did you manage this all on your own for weeks?

Chanel: Honestly? I’m not sure how I did it without you.

Susan: Oh, goody. Oh sweet bits, they are my weakness.

[Gasps] Ooh. Maybe I shouldn’t have said that.

Johnny: Why not? A weakness for sweet bits seems to run in the family.

Marlena: Susan, it was so good of you to invite johnny over to have supper with his grandmothers.

Susan: Well, even if I had to invite you to host it.

Marlena: As long as you cook it.

Susan: Well, you know what? I know how much you two love my gumbo.

Johnny: No one makes it like you do, grandma.

Susan: Well, you know what? I figured that you wouldn’t want to set foot into that creepy dimera house, not with–aren’t these the prettiest cupcakes you’ve ever seen?

Marlena: Not with what, susan?

Susan: Uh-oh.

[Clears throat] I just didn’t want–i didn’t want to force you two to bear witness to something that you don’t approve of.

Johnny: What? You mean like threats, blackmail, bad decor?

Susan: Well, those too. But, no. What I was speaking of, dr. Marlena evans, is–and you might as well know, I think there’s something going on between my son and your daughter.

Ej: Belle, I just wanted to say how sorry I am for the thoughtless thing I said today. I never should have been so unfeeling about a child’s life. All I have to say for myself is that it was a ham-handed attempt to make you feel better.

Belle: Well, I do so want to.

[Tender music]

Make me feel better.

Ej: Belle, we shouldn’T.

Belle: Why shouldn’t we? Take me upstairs. Take me upstairs and make love to me.

Chad: I got to tell you, baby, you missed a great movie. It was the best “minions” yet. Abby? Abby? Oh, my god! Abby? Abby! Abby! Hey, what happened? Abby! Abby!

Abigail: Chad.

Chad: Hey, it’s okay. Hey, I’m–I’m here, okay. You’re gonna be fine. Abby, you’re gonna be fine, baby, okay? Hey, just hang on. Abby? Abby? Hang on for me, okay?

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Johnny: What, you think that my dad has a thing for aunt belle? And that’s why she moved in with us?

Marlena: No, but you know that shawn and belle were having some problems lately. Shawn thinks he has to be responsible for jan, and belle can’t bear the idea of being under the same roof that she is.

Johnny: Got it. I can’t blame her.

Susan: And the fact–and the fact that–that belle had a very good reason for leaving her husband’s house, and she had another good reason for leaving her parents’ house. It just doesn’t explain why she went to elvis’s house. I mean, she could have went to the salem inn. She could have went on a spiritual retreat. But no, no. She went straight into–

Marlena: The fact that she went to the dimera mansion does not mean there’s something untoward going on. Belle loves shawn.

Susan: Well, I never said that she didn’T. And I didn’t say that she loves elvis. All I am saying, dr. Marlena evans, is that she is not camping out at chez dimera for the ambience.

[Soft dramatic music]

Ej: Belle, you’re upset. I don’t want to take advantage.

Belle: You wouldn’t be. I just want to forget about everything. I want this. I want you. Take me to bed.

Chad: We’re gonna get help, baby, okay.

[Phone beeps]

[Line trilling] Yes, hello? This is chad dimera. I need an ambulance at 430 lakeview drive. No, I don’t know. There’s a lot of blood. I–I don’t know what happened. I don’t–no, I don’t–i don’t see any kind of weapon.

Abigail: A knife. They had a knife.

Chad: Who–a knife? Who had a knife, baby?

Trelegy for copd.

[Soft dramatic music]

Marlena: Susan, I think we’re making johnny uncomfortable.

Johnny: No. No. I’m not uncomfortable. I’m scared. If mom ever finds out that aunt belle likes my dad, I’m not sure either one of them is gonna make it to their next birthday.

Susan: Oh, yeah. Nobody has to be psychic to know that sami brady dimera would just flip her lid.

Johnny: And we should change the subject. My grandma marlena’s already worried enough about belle, with jan having her baby tonight, and–well, everything, you know.

Susan: Oh, you know what? You’re right. You’re right. You’re right. You’re right. You know what? Dr. Marlena evans, I have been so insensitive. Can you please just forgive me? I’m sorry.

Marlena: Why don’t we just have some cupcakes?

Susan: Okay. Oh, what–these are just–what’s in this? I mean–oh, you know what i like the most is the chai ones that–that–that chanel does.

Johnny: Yeah, I don’t know. I-I just asked allie to give me an assortment, so…

Susan: Oh, so allie’s back at the bakery?

Johnny: Oh, yeah, yeah. That was super fun. Allie acted pretty cool towards me, but chanel pretended like she didn’t even see me.

Susan: Oh, I’m sorry.

Johnny: You know what, grandma susan? You’re better than a ouija board. So why don’t you tell me who chanel’s gonna end up with? Me or allie?

[Dramatic acoustic music]

Chanel: My god, listen to me. “I don’t know how I made it without you.” I mean, that’s a little over the top, even for me.

Allie: Well, actually, it was nice to hear that you missed me. At the bakery, I mean.

Chanel: I didn’t just miss you at the bakery. I’m–I’m sorry. I-I’m sending mixed signals.

Allie: No. I’m sorry if I read too much into what you said.

Chanel: Okay. Yeah. This–this is–this is awkward.

Allie: Yeah. But we found out that we still work well together. So maybe we can find out that we’re still friends.

Chanel: Yeah. And I hope I didn’t come off too obnoxious yesterday when I said “I choose me.”

Allie: No. No. I totally get it. I mean, you need to be the one to decide if you want to be with me or johnny.

Chanel: Yeah. But I was being a little “captain of my own fate” about it.

Allie: Oh, my god, did you notice johnny “dropping in” during our evening rush? It was like he was little red riding hood getting goodies for his grandma.

Chanel: Yeah. I–I saw him, but I didn’t get a chance to say “hi.”

Allie: I mean, he was totally checking in on us. Like, he was talking to me but the entire time, he was looking over my shoulder, obviously looking for you.

Chanel: I didn’t notice.

Allie: I’m really surprised that he left without trying to say, “hi.”

Chanel: You know what? I-I think he understands that–that I need time and space to figure out what I want.

Allie: I guess.

Chanel: And honestly, horton, you were just ready to marry tripp. I think that maybe you need the same thing.

[Soft dramatic music]

Tripp: I hope you’re not upset with me.

Steve: No. No. I’m not upset. You’re single again. You staying with dad and step-mom, it’s gonna cramp your style, right?

Tripp: Well, the thing is, dad, it’s not that.

Kayla: Then what is it?

Tripp: Well, first of all, you’ve both been amazing, letting me stay with you all this time.

Kayla: Well, you’re our son. So of course, we love having you there.

Steve: And it was no big deal because you’ve been spending most of your nights here in the on-call room instead of in your own bed.

Tripp: Yes. But I won’t be doing that anymore, either. I’m not moving across town to a bachelor pad. I’m leaving salem.

Chad: I am applying pressure, but it’s not–nothing’s working! No, just hurry up, please!

[Dramatic music]

Hey, hey, hey, abby? Abby? Hey, listen, I need you to stay with me, okay? I need you to open up your eyes for me, okay. Hey, hey, abby. I need–baby, I need you to tell me what happened, okay?

Abigail: [Mumbles softly]

Chad: What?

Abigail: The kids. Take care of the kids.

Chad: Help! Somebody help!

Belle: Oh, my god.

Ej: What the hell?

Chad: I don’t know what happened. I think–I think somebody stabbed her, but they must still be in the house. I don’t know where the kids are. Please find thomas and charlotte, okay? Please find my kids.

Ej: Have–have you called the police?

Chad: Yes, I called them. Just find my kids!

Belle: We will!

Chad: Baby, baby, the kids are gonna be fine, okay. Hey, the kida are gonna be okay. And so are you. I promise, okay? Hey baby, baby, baby, I just need you to hold on, okay? Okay? Hold on, please. Abby, please. Okay, snacks and popcorn are gonna be expensive.

Johnny: So grandma, how does the story end? Does chanel end up with allie or me?

Marlena: I don’t think it’s fair to put susan on the spot.

Susan: It’s okay. It’s all in good fun. If you get the answer you want. Okay. Well, I’m gonna need something personal. I guess this–this will do just fine. Okay?

[Exhales deeply]

[Clears throat]

[Breathes deeply] I’m getting something. Hold on. Hold on. I’m getting something.

[Chuckles]

Johnny: What?

Susan: Oh, it’s dark chocolate with hazelnut filling.

Johnny: Come on, grandma,

Susan: All right. Just for you, I will do .

[Breathes deeply] Oh, my goodness!

Johnny: Grandma, what–what–what do you see? What do you see?

[Dramatic music]

A long time ago.

Chanel: I know, but he did almost die for you.

Allie: Yeah, and I will always be grateful for that, but that’s all, and tripp knows that. And now I know exactly who I want to be with.

Chanel: Yeah. So–so you said.

Allie: Hey, how’s your mom, by the way? I should have asked.

Chanel: Um, well, you know her. She’s trying to be brave, but I know deep down she is terrified of going to prison for the rest of her life.

Allie: I’m so sorry she’s going through this. How are you doing?

Chanel: Well, you know, mama has a really big personality, so it’s–it’s really quiet without her here. Empty. Lonely.

Allie: Hey.

Chanel: Until tonight.

Steve: So you’re leaving salem?

Tripp: Not forever. It’s just, you know, it’ll be a couple of months before I’m ready to get back to work, so–

Steve: Yeah. So you need a–you need a break. How about you and i take a little road trip?

Kayla: So, tripp, what are you gonna do? You gonna go to the beach, or you’re gonna work on your tan or what?

Tripp: Actually, I talked to stephanie and joey last night about maybe spending some time with them in seattle this summer.

Steve: Oh.

Kayla: I think that is a great idea. I know they would love to spend time with you and see you and–right?

Steve: Yeah. Yeah. I think–I think it’s a great idea. Yeah. Just caught me by surprise, that’s all.

Tripp: Kind of surprised me too. I think it’s that near-death experience kind of thing.

Kayla: I can understand that.

Tripp: Yeah. It got me thinking, you know, about what really matters. For me, that’s family. I really like steph and joe, but I want to get to know them as my sister and my brother.

Steve: Well, that makes me happy.

Tripp: I’ve been thinking about going out there for a while, you know, but it was always, you know, “later, when I have the time.” You know, lying in this bed has made me realize that you never really know how much time you actually have,things that really before it’s too late.

Abigail: Chad.

Chad: Hey, baby. No, it’s okay. Shhh, I need you to save your energy, okay? The ambulance is gonna be here any minute. I promise you.

Ej: We found the kids. Belle’s taking them to her mother’S.

Chad: Are they okay? Hey by, do you hear that? The ambulance is here.

Ej: I’ll go down, show them up here.

[Siren blaring]

Abigail: Chad.

Chad: Yeah, baby?

Abigail: I’m so cold.

Chad: Oh. Hey. Hey, hey, abby, abby? Hey, hey, abby? Abby, I need you to open up your eyes. Abby? Abby? Hey, abby? Abby, don’t you die on me, abby. Abby, don’t you die on me, okay?

Steve: Well, I understand why you’re leaving, but we’re really gonna miss you.

Tripp: I’ll be back.

Kayla: Well, I hope so. Just know that there is a place for you with us and with the hospital. You can come back anytime you want.

Tripp: Thank you for everything. You’ve been amazing.

Kayla: Amazingly selfish. No, really, you are the best intern in your cohort. I mean, you are such an asset to this hospital. You–you just make me look good.

Tripp: Yeah, well, we both know that it was you who made my life easier. I mean, those late night intubation lessons.

Kayla: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, excuse me, I got to give him a little hug on that. Oh, baby, good luck, all right? Oh, wait, wait, wait. Sorry. Incoming. Oh, oh, I got to go.

Steve: What is it?

Kayla: It’s the er. They’re understaffed, and there’s a stabbing victim coming in. So I’ll see you, okay?

[Soft dramatic music]

Steve: Well, whoever it is, I hope they’re okay.

Chad: They never got her pulse back in the ambulance. So she probably didn’t even know I was there.

Ej: Hey, hey, I’m sure she did.

Kayla: Chad! Chad, are you hurt?

Chad: No, it’s not mine. It’s–it’s abigail’S. Can you please help her?

Steve: So buddy… you sure you want to do this?

Tripp: I know what you’re thinking. That I’m running away.

Steve: No, I’m not thinking that. I think you need to regroup, right?

Tripp: Yeah. That’s–that’s what I’m doing.

Steve: Okay. Have you told your mom about this?

Tripp: No. I–I wanted to tell you and kayla first. I think I’ll tell mom with the car running and my suitcases in the trunk.

Steve: Oh, so you think she’s gonna have a big reaction?

Tripp: Nah. Nah, you know how stoic she is.

Steve: Oh, yeah. Good luck with that. And what about–

Tripp: Allie?

Steve: Yeah.

Tripp: Yeah. That is a good question.

Allie: Well, if you ever want to get out of here for a night, we could go bowling or something.

Chanel: Bowling? Mm-mm, maybe we could go do, like, goofy golf or something.

Allie: I was trying to come up with something neutral, okay? All right, you, me, and johnny can go axe throwing together.

Chanel: Yeah. That’s more like it.

Allie: Okay.

Chanel: Mmm, chef’s kiss. It is the perfect ratio of cardamom and lavender. Did you try it?

Allie: No, I don’t like cardamom.

Chanel: Hm, and here I thought I knew everything there was to know about you.

Allie: But I have learned that I love lavender.

[Tender music]

[Phone ringing] Hey, tripp.

Tripp: Hey, allie, I was just wondering, are you busy right now?

Allie: Not really. Chanel and I were just finishing up work for the day.

Tripp: Is she with you now?

Allie: Yeah. Why?

Tripp: There’s just something I wanted to talk to you both about. Do you think you could come over to the hospital?

Allie: Sure. When?

Tripp: Now?

[Soft dramatic music]

Susan: Hmm.

Johnny: What do you see?

Susan: Honey, it’s just blurry. It’s blurry, and I–i just don’t see allie.

Johnny: What? What is it?

Susan: I–I really–i really–I really need to call elvis.

[Knocking] Oh, here it goes.

Marlena: Oh, belle. You’ve come back.

Susan: Oh, boy, this is bad.

Marlena: What’s going on?

Belle: Uh, charlotte and thomas are in the car with the nanny. Can I bring them up?

Marlena: Of course you may. What’s happened?

Belle: Someone broke into the mansion.

Johnny: What?

Marlena: Okay. Tell me what happened.

Belle: It’s abigail.

Chad: Why won’t anybody tell me what’s going on? I’m gonna go to check to see how she’s doing.

Ej: They told you they need room to do their work.

Chad: Ej, I just–I wanna be with her.

Ej: Chad, come on. Hey, kayla. Hey.

Kayla: I’m–I’m sorry, chad.

Chad: No.

Kayla: We did everything we could, but we lost her. The world is full of make or break moments.

Chad: No, that’s not true.

Ej: Chad, I’m so sorry.

Chad: No, I’m gonna–I’m– you don’t know what you’re talking about. No, dr. Rolf is gonna fix this. You got a phone?

Kayla: No, no, no, chad. Chad, chad, you need to listen to me for a second, okay? You did everything right. You put–put pressure on the wound, you called 911. The emts and the er staff did cpr for over 60 minutes. She lost too much blood. Dr. Rolf cannot help her.

Chad: I can’t give up on her. I can’t give up on her.

Ej: Chad, come on. Let’s sit down.

Chad: No. Ej, it can’t be right. It can’t be. It can’t be.

Ej: Let’s sit down.

Chad: It can’t be.

Ej: Come on.

Allie: Hey, tripp.

Steve: Hey.

Chanel: You’re looking a lot better than the last time I saw you.

Tripp: Yeah. I feel a lot better too. I’m actually getting discharged tomorrow.

Allie: That’s great.

Steve: Hey, does anybody want some coffee? I’m gonna go get some.

Chanel: Oh, hospital coffee? No thanks.

Steve: Fair enough.

Allie: So is everything okay?

Tripp: Yeah. Yeah. No. Everything’s fine. I just wanted to tell you something, and I thought you should hear it from me.

[Soft dramatic music]

Belle: I’m sorry to have to tell you.

Marlena: I’m glad you brought the children here. Are you all right?

Belle: I’m fine. Numb.

Johnny: Belle, what happened?

Belle: I don’t know. The police are at the house right now trying to figure out who got in and how.

Susan: And elvis?

Belle: He’s fine. He’s fine. He went to the hospital with chad and abigail.

Marlena: Is there any word abigail’s condition?

Belle: Not yet.

Johnny: I–I gotta go. I need to be there.

Marlena: Of course. And tell chad we’re praying for them all. Susan, are you all right?

Susan: I just got a terrible chill.

[Ominous music]

Chad: I need to– I need to be–I need to see–be with my wife. I need to see her.

Kayla: Of course.

Ej: I’ll be here.

Chad: Abigail was worried sick about the kids. Will you please go and make sure that they’re okay.

Ej: Belle’s with them. I’m not going to leave you right now.

Chad: Ej, I–I need to be alone with my wife.

Ej: Okay, but if you need anything–anything, you’ll call, right?

[Somber music]

Chad: Where is she?

Kayla: This way.

One prilosec otc in the morning

Chanel: So, let me get this straight. Just when you finally stop hating me, you decide to up and leave town?

Tripp: I never hated you. Okay, okay, I strongly disliked you there for a while, but now I hope we’re friends?

Chanel: Yeah, we are. I mean, you may be the only friend that I’ve made in salem that I haven’t slept with. Oh. Too fresh?

[Chuckles] Sorry. But I really do wish you the best, and don’t stay away too long, okay? And make sure you bring me back a bumbershoot souvenir or something, okay?

Tripp: Will do.

Chanel: All right. Now I’m gonna discreetly exit like your dad did.

[Soft dramatic music]

Allie: You’re leaving because of me, aren’t you?

Johnny: Dad!

Ej: Johnny.

Johnny: I–I heard about abigail. Belle said she was stabbed?

Ej: That’s–that’s right.

Johnny: How? I mean, that–that house is supposed to be like–like a fortress. Do we know who did it? How they got in?

Ej: It’s–it’s harold’s night off. Tony and anna are away. Belle and I– we didn’t see anything. The–the police are searching the house for evidence.

Johnny: Okay. So–so–so how bad is it? Does she have to stay– stay overnight?

Ej: Johnny.

Johnny: No. No. No. It’s–it’s abigail. She can’t–

Ej: Johnny, she died.

Johnny: But–chad, the kids–

Ej: Hey, I know.

Johnny: This can’t be.

Ej: I know. I know.

Johnny: Where’s uncle chad?

Ej: Uh, he’s in there with her. I wanted to stay, but he wanted me to go check on the kids. How in the name of god are we going to tell them about this?

Johnny: Uh, what– what can I do?

Ej: What can any of us do? Help chad. Help the kids get through this. I better go.

Johnny: Yeah. I’ll–I’ll stay. See if chad needs anything.

Ej: Okay, I love you, son.

Johnny: I love you too.

[Exhales deeply]

[Somber music]

Chanel: Oh, this isn’t the lobby. Gio, what are you doing here?

Marlena: Okay. The nanny’s getting the children settled in. Where’s–where’s susan?

Belle: She’s making tea. Why won’t anyone call?

It was just so awful. Abigail was so pale, and there was blood everywhere. And chad–

Marlena: God.

Belle: And the kids. They don’t know, and i didn’t know what to say to them. And the longer we don’t hear anything, the more scared I am that abigail’s–

Marlena: Sweetie, oh, I’ve got you. I’ve got you.

Chad: Can I be alone with her?

Kayla: Yeah. Take all the time you need.

Chad: I love you, baby.

I love you so much. I will love you forever.

My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Tripp: No. I’m not leaving because of you. I can’t go back to work right now, so I’m gonna do some things I never had time to do before.

Allie: You’re gonna go somewhere a little calmer than salem?

Tripp: That place doesn’t exist. Allie, I mean this. I want you to be happy. I really do.

Allie: Hey. Right back at you. And I’m going to miss you more than you know, and so is henry.

Tripp: I’m just going to seattle.

Steve: Oh, I can come back later.

Tripp: No, no, no. We’re good.

Kayla: There you are.

Steve: Sweetness?

Kayla: You know, the patient that–the stabbing?

Steve: Yeah.

Kayla: It was abigail.

Steve: Abigail? Is she all right?

Kayla: No, she–she died. She died.

Steve: Oh. Oh, no, no.

Johnny: Abigail. I don’t think I ever told her I loved her, but I did.

Chanel: I didn’t know her very well, but she was always really nice to me.

Johnny: Yeah. I don’t know if chad, the kids–oh, my god, aunt jennifer, uncle jack. I don’t know how they’re gonna get over this.

[Somber music]

Marlena: Oh, thank you, susan.

[Sighs] Do you–do you think we should call ej?

Belle: Oh, I don’t know. He’s with chad.

[Knocking] Ej. She’s gone, isn’t she?

Ej: Yeah.

Marlena: [Sobs]

Chad: You are my whole life. Thomas and charlotte… you’re everything to us.

[Sobs] Why?

[Sobbing] Why?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Belle: I can’t believe you. You’re just calmly saying that shawn’s baby might die and that that would be, what, a bright side to this?

Ej: Well, isn’t the child jan is carrying the reason you and shawn are separated? So if worst comes to worst–

Belle: Just stop it. Stop it.

Ej: Oh, come on.

Belle: No, you come on. Why are you saying this? What is wrong with you?

Jan: [Gasping]

Shawn: Come on, it’s okay, it’s okay, jan, it’s almost over, it’s almost over.

Jan: [Gasping] Oh, god, they’re coming so close together.

Shawn: They’ve given you an iv to slow it down, all right? It should kick in soon, all right?

Jan: Oh, god, what if it doesn’t? Oh. What if the baby comes today? It’s too soon.

Marlena: Oh, hi, sarah.

Sarah: Hi. Is kayla on duty?

Marlena: She is. I think she might be in surgery.

Sarah: I need help. I think the antidote is wearing off.

Kate: Lucas? Answer me, are you drinking?

Lucas: Look, that’s not mine.

Kate: Oh, my god. Okay, I think you can do better than that.

Lucas: I am telling you the truth, okay? That glass belongs to your ex-boyfriend, clyde weston. He just left here. I didn’t take a sip of it. I promise you. I swear.

Kate: Okay, I did see clyde leaving when I was coming in.

Lucas: Oh, great, thanks for trusting me, I appreciate that. Oh, wait, you don’t want to do that–no, no, no! Clyde drank out of that glass.

Kate: Trust me. I need it. I just had a talk with chad.

Lucas: So what? What’s the big deal?

Kate: So the big deal is that he thought I should know… that he told abigail that you’re the one who kidnapped sami.

Lucas: [Whispers] What? You got to be kidding me.

Chad: So when you say gwen wasn’t too happy–

Abigail: That I accidentally broke the stupid mug she made for my dad? Ha. It’s an understatement. She also said that she would “make…me…pay.”

Chad: Did she…say how she was…gonna do that?

Abigail: No. No, she was just trying to scare me. Could you not look so worried? The woman’s behind bars. There’s nothing she can do to me.

[Line ringing]

Gwen: It’s gwen. Who else would be bloody phoning you from prison? Look, I need to talk to you about abigail. If I don’t get to spend my father’s birthday with him, then neither does she.

Leo: Don’t you think you’re being a little dramatic?

Gwen: No, leo, I don’T. I asked her for one tiny little simple favor. I just wanted to make sure that my father would receive the gift that I made for him for his birthday. And you know what she did? She smashed it into tiny million pieces.

Leo: That was rude, but–

Gwen: Shh. This is what I want you to do. I want you to find the nearest sharpest object and I want you to stab her in the heart with it.

[Ominous music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Marlena: What makes you think the antidote is wearing off?

Sarah: Xander and I, uh, went to see my mom to tell her that I had gotten my memory back and that we were together.

Marlena: I know, I was happy to hear that news.

Sarah: Thank you. And while we were there, I– I had a hallucination.

Marlena: What kind of hallucination?

Sarah: I saw kristen…and she had a syringe in her hand. And, marlena, it was so real. And I thought that she was coming after me again and then I realized that it wasn’t kristen, it was victor and he was just holding a pen in his hand.

Marlena: How did they react?

Sarah: They didn’T. They don’t know. I– it happened so fast that they just didn’t catch on, thank god, because I don’t want them to worry, but I– I’m scared to death. Do you know what’s happening to me?

Marlena: The important thing is for you to not to panic.

Sarah: How do I do that? I-I’m seeing things that aren’t there. Am I losing my mind? What did gwen do to me?

Leo: Gwenevere, this sounds a little extreme, even for you.

Gwen: Leo, do you remember our double wedding? You remember that was supposed to be the day that would change our lives forever? And then do you remember being dumped by xander and craig? So here’s the burning question. Why is it that you and i are always the ones who suffer when abigail and chad get to go on living their perfect, happy little lives together?

Leo: I am just infuriated as you are, but–

Gwen: Why is there even a but in this? My god, don’t tell me you’re folding. What happened to the bloke who said he wants to inflict pain on all the ones who hurt him?

Leo: I am that bloke. I told you what I did to sonny and chad.

Gwen: Pfff. Please. Come on, planting sleazy rumors in a tabloid that everybody knows is just chock-full of lies. No, we need to do what they did to us. We need to hurt them the way that they hurt us.

[Beep beep]

Leo: Gwen, I gotta go. My phone is about to die.

Gwen: And hopefully, so is abigail because if she doesn’t–

[Beep] Leo? Leo!

[Huffs]

Abigail: Gwen’s just going to sit around hating my guts like she always does. What’s new?

Chad: Well, while we’re on the subject of people who hate our guts–

Abigail: Oof. Did you talk to kate?

Chad: Yeah, I told her that you know lucas is the one that kidnapped sami.

Abigail: How’d she take it?

Chad: She was not pleased.

Abigail: Well, you told her I was going to keep my mouth shut, right?

Chad: Yep. Pretty much those exact same words.

Lucas: Why the hell would chad do something like that?

Kate: He didn’t have a choice, okay? Abigail got it into her head that she wanted to solve the mystery and she was planning on publishing the article about it in “the spectator.”

Lucas: Oh, my god.

Kate: Yeah, well, she’d already dug up your little friend pete.

Lucas: How? How’d she do that?

Kate: Well, apparently he got himself arrested again, so she was determined to go to wisconsin and interview him.

Lucas: Oh, my god, just what I need. This is great. Perfect.

Kate: Yeah, well, chad tried to talk her out of it, but he couldn’t do it and, you know, he was worried about what could happen to her if she went down to investigate. So…[Sighs] Well, he thought the best way to get out of it was to tell her that it was her beloved uncle lucas who kidnapped sami and frankly, sweetie, I can’t blame him.

Lucas: Well, I can blame him. What if chad or abigail tells ej? What if they tell ej or anyone else for that matter? I’m screwed!

Ej: Didn’t you say that if shawn told you immediately after he slept with jan that you would try and convince her to take the morning after pill?

Belle: Well, yeah, I did say that, but that’s not the same thing. The morning after pill prevents pregnancy–it doesn’t end one. This is a life we’re talking about, okay? And I do not, nor have I ever, wished this baby dead. But it could. It could die. Oh, my god. I am sitting here feeling sorry for myself, and shawn’s probably at the hospital right now freaking out, so I have to go.

Ej: Why would you do that?

Belle: Because whether I like it or not, this is shawn’s baby and this child could– I would never forgive myself if I wasn’t there. The lows of bipolar depression

Marlena: You are not losing your mind.

Sarah: Then why do I think that I saw kristen? The antidote is supposed to reverse the effects of rolf’s drug, right?

Marlena: And it has set aside a lot of the damage you’ve been through. But because of the dosage you have, well, there might… might be flare-ups. I know kayla has prescribed the medication for you.

Sarah: The one that helped abigail.

Marlena: But the dosage may have to be increased.

Sarah: Um… let me ask you something. If we do increase my meds, are these hallucinations something that I’m just going to have live with for the rest of my life?

Marlena: I certainly hope not. But you did have such a large dose, it’s hard to give you any guarantees.

Sarah: Oh, my god.

Marlena: We can… adjust the dosage of your new medication, but…it’s been so effective. You know, I think we have reason to be optimistic.

Sarah: If you say so.

Marlena: I also think you might want to talk to abigail. She’s been through all this.

Sarah: Yeah, that’s a great idea. Thank you so much for talking me down, marlena.

Marlena: Any time at all.

Sarah: [Sniffling]

[Elevator bell dings] Belle, hi, honey, what are you doing here?

Belle: Hi. I was with shawn when you called to say jan was in labor.

Marlena: Yes. Well, she was, uh, admitted a little while ago.

Belle: She can’t have the baby now though, right? It’s so soon.

Marlena: Yeah, it is soon. They’ve have her on some medication to slow down the contractions or even stop them, hopefully.

Shawn: Jan just passed out.

Marlena: Sorry, honey.

[Edgy music]

Ej: I was too direct with belle just now. I thought I was comforting her, but she left deeply offended. You wouldn’t have cared about that, as long as you made your point. I, however, do care. So I suppose I should find a way to…make this right. With no help from you.

[Deep sigh]

Leo: Good lord, I thought he’d never shut up and leave. Seems like everyone around here uses you as some kind of sounding board. So, pops, what do I do about abigail? Or…to her?

Chad: Well, you’re right. Kate and lucas have nothing to worry about. Have I thanked you enough for agreeing not to say anything?

Abigail: I can always stand to hear it again.

Chad: Yeah?

Abigail: Mm-hmm.

Chad: Well, I’m sorry for putting you in that position. I never want to ask you to lie to anyone, especially a member of your own family.

Abigail: Lucas is my mom’s half-brother. I’m not related to sami by blood, not like you and ej.

Chad: Ha ha. Keeping secrets from each other is part of my family’s favorite pastime. Keeping secrets from my wife is not something I’ll ever do again.

Abigail: There’s nothing you can’t tell me. I’m always gonna be on your side.

Chad: You’ve always stood by me.

Abigail: You’re my husband and the father of my children, and I also happen to love you a whole damn lot.

Chad: Oh yeah?

Abigail: Yeah. Uh, speaking of our children, I took my temperature this morning.

Chad: Oh yeah. Are you sick?

Abigail: No. What I am is ovulating.

Chad: Well, okay then, maybe we should probably get out of here.

[Soft, light music]

Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Shawn: Hey.

Belle: Hey. How is she?

Shawn: They, uh… they rushed her to the or.

Belle: She’s in surgery?

Shawn: They said that she had something called a placental abruption.

Belle: A woman in my office had that. It’s where the placenta separates from the uterine wall.

Shawn: What happened to her?

Belle: She lost the baby. I’m sorry.

Shawn: No, it’s all right, I…I asked, so–

Belle: Well, what did my mom say?

Shawn: She said that she’d stay with jan. And I tried to go with her, but they wouldn’t let me. They just– they were all so serious when they rushed her out of there. I have no idea what’s gonna happen to her. Or to the baby.

Kate: Okay, look. Chad gave me his word abigail is not going to say anything.

Lucas: And you bought that?

Kate: Yes, I bought it. She’s not going to send her uncle to prison, lucas.

Lucas: Why not? She sent her own sister there.

Kate: Okay, all right. That’s completely different and you know it is. My point is, abigail hates gwen. She loves you. And she would understand that you were so desperate to keep sami from going back to ej, you–

[Sighs] Oh, my god, you did a bone-headed thing.

Lucas: I know that–thank you for addressing that now.

Kate: My point is, she’s not gonna send you to jail just because she feels like it. She’s a good person, lucas.

Lucas: She’s a good person. She’s an editor at a newspaper, and you told me yourself she was working on sami’s kidnapping story. What if she decides to run the story anyway? What happens then?

Kate: Oh, my god, I mean, god, I… maybe you should just…

Lucas: What? What? Spit it out, I know you’re gonna say it anyway, just say it.

Kate: Well, you’re not gonna like it.

Lucas: What’s new?

Kate: Don’t you think it would solve all your problems if you just told sami the truth?

Lucas: Oh, yeah, that would really work out great for me. Nice idea.

Kate: You don’t know! I mean, how many times over the years have the two of you forgiven each other for doing horrible things? Why wouldn’t she eventually understand and forgive you? Lucas, if you’re thinking of marrying sami, you can’t live with this secret between you.

[Distant background chatter]

Gwen: What are you doing here?

Sarah: We haven’t been properly introduced. I’m sarah horton. Oh, come on. My face has to seem a little familiar. Seeing as how you borrowed it to break up with xander as me. Gotta be a little strange for you, huh? It’s like looking into a mirror.

Leo: Hello?

[Distant laughter, chatter]

Chad: He’s never seen two people kissing before.

Abigail: In this house, maybe not.

Chad: Mmm. So is this whole, uh, whole temperature thing, is it real?

Abigail: It’s pretty reliable. I have some other signs too.

Chad: Yeah?

Abigail: Mm-hmm.

Chad: Well, then, let’s seal the deal.

[Intense percussive music]

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Gwen: Look, sarah, I-I… I really don’t want to get into this now.

Sarah: Oh, you don’t? That’s too bad. You knew that kristen was holding me prisoner on that island, and you left me there. Stranded. I’d probably still be there if it weren’t for abigail.

Gwen: If it weren’t for abigail, you probably would never have been sent to that bloody island.

Sarah: Oh, yes, please, please tell me–how is it abigail’s fault?

Gwen: That syringe that kristen jabbed you with… she never would’ve gotten her hands on it if abigail hadn’t have left it in the good old dimera secret room. You know she was planning to use it on me.

Sarah: Oh, that’s right. You’re the victim in all of this.

Gwen: I didn’t kidnap you, did I? So why don’t you just go find kristen a-and tell her all your troubles?

Sarah: Oh, I plan to. But I thought I’d start with you first. When they finally got back here, when xander got me the antidote that would end the hell I had been living in, that didn’t work for you. So you made sure I got a double dose of that crazy-making drug.

Gwen: You got the antidote, didn’t you? I mean, look at you. You’re…you’re good as new. You’re perfect. So why are you here bothering me?

[Intense, dark music]

Chad: Do you think today’s the day that we made a baby?

Abigail: I mean, if we didn’t, it wasn’t for lack of trying.

[Giggles] But I feel like we did.

Chad: What? Wow.

Abigail: What are you hoping for? Another girl or another boy?

Chad: Hmm.

[Sucks tongue] Twins.

Abigail: Twins. You realize we’d be seriously outnumbered.

Chad: Even with one more, we’d have to switch to a zone defense. At least thomas and charlotte are old enough to help out.

Abigail: You mean the kids who have clogged literally every single drain in this house with glitter slime?

Chad: Fair. Okay, so maybe another year or two. Our kids are… pretty precocious, aren’t they?

Abigail: That’s what the plumber said. Uh…speaking of our kids, what do you think about taking a little trip with them tonight?

Chad: Tonight?

Abigail: Mm-hmm.

Chad: Where?

Abigail: Well, tomorrow’s my dad’s birthday. I think I’d really like to be with him. So…we could all fly to boston together. What do you think?

Chad: I think that it is a great idea. Seems pretty sudden though. Think that maybe we could maybe leave in the morning? If we leave early enough, we’ll still have plenty of time to celebrate.

Abigail: Mmm… sure. Why not? I mean, what difference does one night make?

Shawn: So what, uh…so what are you doing here anyway?

Belle: I was worried about the baby. And you. You must be scared.

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah, I am.

[Sighs] It’s the baby that I never wanted to happen. And then I started thinking about…’bout whether or not it’s going to be a boy or a girl and…what it would be like to take care of a new baby and–

Belle: Yeah, well, there’s the best doctors here, right? And you said my mom’s with jan. She’ll make sure gets the very best care. She likes her obstetrician, right?

Shawn: You know, this-this thing that… this thing that happened to her, they said that the baby might be-might be deprived of oxygen and nourishment, and that it’s just going to be touch and go and–

Belle: Come here. Come here. You just… you have to keep believing the baby’s going to be okay.

Shawn: I just wonder how long it’s going to be until I hear something.

Belle: No matter how long it takes, I’ll be here with you.

Lucas: Maybe you’re right. Maybe I will tell sami the truth.

Kate: Will you?

Lucas: Of course not! No way. What do you think she’s gonna do when she finds out that i I kidnapped her? What is she gonna say, “let bygones be bygones”?

Kate: Well, no, not right away.

Lucas: No, as soon she finds out that I’m the guy who’s responsible for holding her against her will for months, you know what she’s going to do? She’s not going marry me. She’s gonna send me to prison. And then she’s going to go back to ej. She’s going to go back to ej so fast, our heads will spin.

Kate: Okay, look. Fine. I get it. I get it, I get it, I get it. And honestly it’s not like I want this information to come out either, you know? I mean, if roman finds outut I kept the information from him, that you had kidnapped sami, he’s never going to forgive me.

Lucas: I know, I know. Holding is a grudge is in the brady dna.

Kate: Oh, god, tell me about it. So it’s fine. Don’t tell sami. I mean, truthfully, lucas, I just hated seeing all of this eat away at you.

Lucas: You think I like it? I don’t like it either, you know? I got no choice.

Kate: I know. Tell you what, why don’t we… why don’t we meet here for dinner tonight? What do you say?

Lucas: Together?

Kate: Yes, together. Who knows, I’ll probably annoy you so much that you’ll forget all about abigail.

Lucas: Fine. Fine, I’ll meet you here later.

Kate: Thank you. All right, see you later.

Lucas: All right.

Chad: Keep doing that and I’m going to have to start trying for those twins.

[Abigail giggles]

[Door opens]

Abigail: Hey!

Chad: Hey!

Abigail: Done with your swimming lesson already?

Thomas: Mom, it was over half an hour ago.

Abigail: Oh, my gosh.

Chad: Yeah.

Abigail: It was. Pfft.

Chad: Time flies when you’re having fun.

Abigail: So, what do you guys think about going on a little trip to boston to surprise your grandpa for his birthday?

Charlotte: Can we go on grandpa stefano’s airplane?

Chad: I think the chances of that are excellent.

Charlotte: Yay!

[Both laugh]

Abigail: What do you think, honey?

Thomas: What if my loose tooth comes out? Will the tooth fairy find us in boston?

Abigail: Of course she will.

Thomas: It’s a he. And what about “minions”?

Abigail: Uh…what?

Chad: Uh, mommy has had a lot on her mind. Dimera’s doing a special screening of the new “minions” movie, and I said that we could go.

Abigail: Oh, well, what time is the screening?

Chad: It is…in like an hour. We can still make it, right, guys?

Thomas: Can you come too?

Abigail: I would love to–

[Beep beep] But, uh…oh, boy. I still have to approve the layout for the style section. My assistant’s going to send it to me in one hour.

Charlotte: So we can’t go to the movie?

Chad: Well, is it okay if I take you?

Charlotte: Yeah. We’re going to see “minions.”

Chad and abigail: Yes.

Abigail: But first you gotta change your clothes, okay? So I laid some things out on your bed.

Thomas: Cool!

Abigail: Yeah.

Charlotte: Bye, mommy.

Abigail: Excuse me! Hugs. Give me a hug here, you. Get over here, you. Mm-mm-mm-mm! Okay, I love you. Have fun at the movie.

Thomas: Bye.

Abigail: Bye. Mwah. May it always be that easy to make them happy.

[Both chuckle]

Sarah: You ask why I’m bothering you? Do I really have to spell it out?

Gwen: You got what you wanted, didn’t you?

Sarah: I had to relive the death of my baby! Do you have any idea what that’s like?

Gwen: Yeah, actually, I do.

Sarah: Try doing it twice. And, yes, I got my memory back. Thank you for asking. But even with that antidote, I still have hallucinations. I thought that victor was kristen, and I nearly attacked him.

Gwen: Oh, wow, wish i could’ve been there to see that.

Sarah: You are a miserable human being.

Gwen: I am paying for it now, aren’t I? I’m here, I’m stuck in this horrible hellhole. I have lost everything. I have lost my family, I have lost my freedom. I lost xander.

Sarah: You did it all to yourself. Xander and I are back together, by the way.

Gwen: That is only because my darling sister stopped the wedding. He loved me. He did. We were going to be married. That’s how much he grieved for you.

Sarah: Yeah, we sorted all that out. We’re very…very happy. So, think about that when they take you back to your cell.

Belle: Ej.

Shawn: What are you doing here?

Ej: I wanted to inquire about the baby.

Shawn: You couldn’t care less about my baby.

Ej: I understand how worried you must be.

Shawn: Yeah, you know what? I am worried, and the last thing I want to deal with is you, so why don’t you get the hell out of here? Well, what are you waiting for, huh?

Belle: Mom.

Shawn: Marlena. What happened in the or? Did they stop the bleeding?

Marlena: Yes. They did. Jan is going to be fine. But they had to deliver the baby.

Shawn: They did?

Marlena: He’s small, but he’s alive.

Shawn: He?

Marlena: Oh, yes, you’ve had a son.

[Emotional music]

Shawn: So the baby, he’s, uh, he’s all right?

Marlena: Yes. They rushed him to the nicu. He’ll be there for quite a while.

Shawn: Can I see him?

Marlena: No, no, they’re still evaluating him.

Shawn: Okay. Uh, a-and what about jan? Where is she?

Marlena: They’ve taken jan back to her room. She wasn’t completely out of the anesthesia yet.

Shawn: Okay. Uh… I should… I should probably be there when she wakes up, I think. Um… look, thank you. Thank you for staying with me.

Marlena: Well, I think I’ll go back to the nicu and see if I can get any information for shawn. Honey.

Ej: That must’ve been a lot to take in. I wish you’d say something.

Belle: Just get me out of here.

Ej: Where would you like to go?

Belle: Anywhere.

[Sniffling]

[Distant chatter]

[Line rings]

Gwen: It’s gwen. I need your help.

Chad: Are you skipping the brand-new “minions” movie to scroll through your feed?

Abigail: Pfft. Trust me, if I didn’t have to check this page layout, my butt would be right there in the front row right next to you.

Chad: It’s okay. You’re not really well enough informed of whether or not the minions know spongebob.

Abigail: We got great kids, don’t we?

Chad: We sure do.

Abigail: We’re lucky.

Chad: Yes, we are. Oh, uh, what was the whole tooth fairy thing about?

Abigail: You better get the kids rounded up. I’ll tell you when you get back.

Chad: All right.

Abigail: Hey. I love you.

Chad: I love you.

Lucas: For all I know, abigail could be writing that story right now. By the morning I’d be finished. Will and allie are going to hate me. Sami’s going to hate me for sure, I know that. And I might be headed for prison.

[Intense percussive music]

Moderate to severe eczema

[Beep beep]

[Dark music]

[Lucas groans] Ohh…

Ej: Are you feeling any better?

Belle: Even a gourmet dinner can’t erase this day, but the second bottle of wine definitely took the edge off.

Ej: I just wanted to say sorry for the thoughtless thing I said today. I never should’ve been so unfeeling about a child’s life. All I can say for myself is that it was a very ham-handed attempt to make you feel better.

Belle: And I do so want to. Please…make me feel better.

Hey! Rizczech!

Gwen: Oh. Hi, roy.

You missed bed check. Where the hell have you been?

Gwen: I have a pass to use the library. You can ask the matron.

We searched the library.

Gwen: Well, I fell asleep in a corner. Just woke up. Come on, roy. Where else could I have been?

Chad: Abby, you missed the best “minions” movie yet. Abby? Abby!

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Kate: You told abigail that lucas was the one who kidnapped sami?

Chad: I did.

Kate: Why did you do that?

Marlena: It was so good to see will. I miss him already.

Lucas: Yeah. Well, he’ll be back soon. It’ll be nice to have the whole family together.

Marlena: , That’s– that’s exactly what he said.

Lucas: Did he?

Marlena: He did.

Lucas: Hm.

Marlena: Yeah, before he left for the airport. And, in fact, he used that exact phrase, “the whole family.”

Lucas: Ah-huh.

Marlena: Uh-huh. And then roman gave you a wry little smile and said something about planning a party?

[Cell phone buzzes] Oh, looks like I have to get to an appointment. So you’re off the hook– for the moment.

Lucas: [Laughs]

[Sneaky music]

Shawn: Is there a problem with the couch?

Jan: It’s okay, I guess.

Shawn: Well, you’ve spent entire days on it before and you haven’t had a problem.

Jan: Today is different. Today, I have my first appointment with marlena.

Shawn: So?

Jan: So normally a patient travels to their therapist’s office, not the other way around. Of course, I can’t do that because of the bed rest and high-risk pregnancy, not to mention this lovely piece of jewelry.

Shawn: Look, if you think I’m taking that thing off of you–

Jan: No, I fully accept that I’m under house arrest. Houseas not designed for a person who’s about to undergo a major psychological breakthrough. With that said, I can make sure that the conditions are as close to perfect as possible.

Shawn: Well, like you said, it’s your first session, so I’d keep my expectations low.

Jan: I know I won’t become mentally healthy overnight. But mark my words, I will get there. I will be the mother our baby deserves.

Belle: I was just returning your robe. I didn’t know you were in here.

Ej: Obviously not.

Susan: Oh! Well, I’ll be. Th-there it is again.

Abigail: There’s what again?

Susan: Abigail, I just got this feeling, you know, this very powerful feeling that there is a foreign presence among us. Yeah, there’s someone here that’s not supposed to be in this house.

Abigail: Huh. Well, maybe it’s the tooth fairy.

Susan: Say what?

Abigail: Well, thomas said he was down in the basement playing hide-and-seek with his sister, and he ran into the tooth fairy.

Susan: [Groans] She and I are not on good terms.

Abigail: You had a falling out with a fairy?

Susan: She owes me a buck fifty for my wisdom teeth. Hmph. Do you think she’s flittering around down there still because, you know what, I’d like to have a word with her.

Abigail: You know, I think I’m gonna go down there and I’m gonna take a look.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Shawn: Thank you for making time to see jan.

Jan: Yes, dr. Evans, thank you so much. I have a really good feeling about this. And I promise I’m gonna be the best patient you’ve ever had.

Marlena: We’ll take it one step at a time and see how it goes.

Shawn: I’m gonna head out. I’m gonna, you know, give you two some privacy, okay?

Jan: Will you be at the police station? I’m not stalking him. I just like to know where he is in case something happens with our baby.

Shawn: Actually, I was gonna head to your place, marlena, see if belle’s there. See if I can get her to reconsider the separation papers that she had me just sign.

Marlena: Um, belle’s not at our place.

Shawn: Where is she?

Belle: I should go, and you should get dressed.

Ej: Did harold send up that breakfast tray? The steak and eggs I can’t wait for you to try.

Belle: Uh, no, actually, it seemed to have disappeared.

Ej: Disappeared?

Belle: Yeah, cook said he prepared the tray, and harold went to go get it, but it wasn’t there.

Ej: How odd.

Belle: Yeah. I don’t know what happened.

Ej: Perhaps a hungry little fairy stole it.

[Both laugh]

Abigail: I’m gonna go see if I can find this tooth fairy.

Susan: In that creepy basement?

Abigail: Yeah, thomas said he ran into someone who made him promise to keep quiet.

Susan: That’s very strange.

Abigail: It is, which is why I’m gonna go and I’m gonna check it out. So will you just let the nanny know where I am?

Susan: You sure you don’t want me to go down there with you? Like I said, I do feel a presence, and it could turn out to be mean, mean, mean.

[Cell phone rings]

[Shrieks] Jeez louise! That thing scared the dickens out of me! Ooh!

Abigail: Ugh. Statesville. Hello? Yeah, I’ll accept the charges.

Gwen: Abigail, I’m so glad you picked up.

Abigail: What do you want?

Gwen: I need to see you.

Abigail: Well, I don’t ever want to see you again.

Gwen: Look, I know that you hate me, but I’m hoping you’ll still come to see me today anyway. Please, it’s extremely important. With relapsing forms of ms,

[Smooth rock music playing]

Lucas: Hey, can I get a refill?

Clyde: Oh, sorry, man, I’m just about to take my lunch break. Care to join me?

Lucas: No. No, I don’t drink. But I thought that was you. I thought I saw you sneaking around the kitchen last night. I said to myself, “no way clyde weston works here, no way.”

Clyde: Well, gainful employment is a condition of my parole, and roman needed a cook.

Lucas: He couldn’t find someone more qualified to fill the position? He had to pick someone who terrorized the whole damn town?

Clyde: Nah, that’s all behind me. I’m a family man now. And from what I can tell, so are you. Saw you in here with your daughter last night.

Lucas: Yeah, that’s right. You can stay the hell away from allie, all right?

Clyde: No, no, I just meant to say that I couldn’t help but overhear part of your conversation. Sounds like you had a little dustup with ej dimera.

Lucas: Yeah, I did. What’s it to you?

Clyde: [Laughs] I ain’t defending the guy. In fact, you might say that any enemy of ej’s is a friend of mine.

Lucas: Really? Why would you say that? You had a problem with ej?

Ej: It seems the morning is quickly getting away from us.

Belle: Yeah, you know, I should get out of your hair. I’m sure you have a busy day.

Ej: Not as busy as I’d like since gabi is still in charge of dimera.

Belle: Ah. Yeah, I can’t believe your sister voted to retain her as ceo.

Ej: And chad and I have no intention of letting that stand, believe me.

Belle: Good. Well, maybe we can strategize about gabi and clyde weston?

Ej: You haven’t told anyone, have you?

Belle: What, that clyde weston had his sidekick shoot you, leave you for dead, and then let everyone believe some random mugger did it? No, I haven’t told anyone.

Ej: Good, because as I’ve told you, turning in clyde isn’t an option.

Belle: I know. I understand.

Ej: But I do have a plan to exact my revenge.

Belle: Yeah, so you say. But I think you should scrap that plan and let me come up with a way to bring clyde to justice legally.

Ej: Of course, of course. Tell you what. Since you’ve missed out on breakfast, perhaps we can scare you up some lunch.

Belle: Or we could call it brunch, and I could try that steak and eggs after all.

Ej: You won’t regret it.

[Soft dramatic music]

Marlena: Belle and I had a bit of a problem last night.

Jan: Oh, dear. Not about me, I hope.

Marlena: Yes, in fact, it was. Belle found out that I was treating her, and she was upset, and she didn’t come home last night.

Shawn: Where did she go, the salem inn?

Marlena: Uh, no. Actually, she spent the night at the dimera mansion.

Shawn: I got to go.

Marlena: Wait, shawn, wait!

Kate: Did we not just have a conversation about this where I said “do not say anything about the kidnapping?” And then you tell your wife?

Chad: I didn’t have a choice.

Kate: Don’t give me that. Don’t give me that. This is all about your guilt over the fact that you let your brother take the blame for a crime he didn’t commit, and then, what, it doesn’t matter at all what happens to lucas?

Chad: It’s not like that.

Kate: Okay, okay. So why don’t you tell me what it’s like then, why you would do something so incredibly stupid?

Chad: Because abby wanted to find out who really kidnapped sami. She wanted to make it her next investigative piece.

Kate: Okay. Why didn’t you just talk her out of it, chad?

Chad: I tried, but she refused to let it go. And then one of her leads panned out, she was able to track down the other henchman that lucas hired to kidnap sami.

Kate: The one who left town?

Chad: Yeah. He was arrested in wisconsin, unrelated charges. Abby had planned to go to milwaukee today to talk to him. I wasn’t gonna let her just leave the state to go find out the truth when I could tell her myself.

Kate: You just don’t know that she was going to find out the truth.

Chad: The guy was gonna talk, kate.

Kate: No. You don’t know that. You don’t know that he would open his mouth. Why did you?

[Scoffs]

Gwen: Abigail, please, I’m begging you. Can you please come out here today? I never would’ve phoned you, I promise. I never would’ve if it wasn’t really urgent.

Susan: Oh.

Gwen: H– hello?

[Sighs]

Susan: You didn’t say goodbye.

Abigail: [Sighing] Hmm. No, I didn’T.

Susan: May I ask who was on the horn?

Abigail: It was my sister, gwen. She wants me to come down and visit her in the prison, says it’s important.

Susan: It’s a good thing you put the kibosh on it. I wasn’t getting a good feeling.

Abigail: No, neither was I, but I never do with her. Damn it.

Susan: What? What’s wrong?

Abigail: She’s just– she’s in my head now, and I can’t help wondering what it is she wanted.

Susan: [Spluttering] You’re not gonna go down there, are you? Remember, curiosity killed the kitty cat.

Abigail: Well, then I guess it’s a good thing I’m not a “kitty cat.”

Susan: Oh, yeah, that’s what they all say.

Marlena: Shall we begin?

Jan: We shall. Can I ask you just a– a very quick question first?

Marlena: Go on.

Jan: Are belle and ej officially together now?

Marlena: Jan, if you’re not gonna be serious about this, I will not be treating you.

Jan: Oh, no, no, I am very serious. I just–it’s what you said before about belle spending the night at the dimera’S. I assumed she’s with ej, and so I was just curious how you felt about it.

Marlena: This conversation is about you, not about me, and certainly not about belle. Do you understand?

Jan: Yes. Forgive me, I’m just a little nervous. I just really need this to work, so I can be a good mother to my baby.

Marlena: Is that the reason you’re doing this?

Jan: Of course. I told you that. I thought you believed me.

Marlena: Well, I’d like to, but a part of me is afraid this might be a performance on your part, that you might be pretending to want therapy in order to appease shawn. And of course using me in the meantime to further that relationship.

Jan: No. I’m doing this for myself and for my baby. That is it. I swear, no other reason.

Marlena: Given your obsession with shawn and your attempts to try to break up shawn and belle, you can understand why I might be a little reluctant to believe you.

Jan: I do. But I can assure you, dr. Evans, that is over.

Marlena: All right. Well, if I see any sign at all that you are up to your old tricks, these sessions will end.

Jan: There will be no signs, I promise. All I want is to get better, just like ben weston did. And he told me that being in therapy with you was what really helped him more than anything.

Marlena: Ben’s worked very hard.

Jan: Right. And he explained to me that in order to get past the terrible things he did, he had to face them head-on.

Marlena: That’s true. And it wasn’t just a matter of ben thinking about what he had done. He had to think about how he’d hurt people. He had to empathize with them. He had to feel their pain. Are you willing to do that?

Jan: Yes. I’m more than willing to–

[Cries out]

Marlena: What is it?

Jan: Oh!

Marlena: What’s wrong? Jan–

Jan: I’m feeling their pain, and mine too. Oh, god! Oh, god!

Ej: [Clears throat] Uh, mother?

Susan: Huh?

Ej: Mother.

Susan: Oh, what? Oh, you don’t–don’t mind me. I’m just–I’m feeling for tooth fairy vibes.

Ej: Naturally.

Susan: Now, belle, I understand that you stayed over last night.

Belle: Uh, yes. I–how did you know that?

Susan: Oh, it wasn’t premonition, I can tell you that, but no, it was harold. Harold told me. Wh–ooh. Hoo. Ah, sheesh. I’m sorry, just getting–

Ej: Now what? Mother, what are you doing?

Susan: I’m sensing something. Just hold on.

Belle: Tooth fairy vibes?

Susan: Oh, no.

[Laughing] A different kind! Whoo!

Ej: And what kind is that?

Susan: The kind that tells me that something is going on between the two of you. Is there something going on between the two of you?

Shawn: You know, I’d like to know the answer to that myself.

Chad: Yeah, you’re right. I should’ve just stood by and done nothing while my wife went off to confront a violent felon about his role in a criminal conspiracy. What was I thinking, putting a stop to that?

Kate: Okay, okay. I get your point.

Chad: Thank you.

Kate: Don’t thank me yet though because I am going to need assurances that she doesn’t tell a soul.

Chad: She won’T.

Kate: All right, I– that’s not enough.

Chad: Kate, I need you to trust me on this.

Kate: Well, I need more then.

Chad: Like what? What, do you want me to have my wife sign a nondisclosure agreement?

Kate: Hm.

Chad: I was joking.

Kate: Well, I’m not joking, because it’s about lucas’ freedom. He could go to prison, chad.

Chad: For the last time, abby is not gonna say anything to anyone.

Kate: How do you know that?

Chad: Because she promised me she wouldn’T.

Gwen: Abigail. You came.

Abigail: Yeah, you know, it was the strangest thing. After I hung up on you, I realized I really did want to see you. I kind of missed you, gwen.

Gwen: Really?

Abigail: Of course not. What could I possibly miss about you? Your vicious lies? The endless number of ways you hurt people that I care about?

Gwen: Then why did you come?

Abigail: Because you said it was important. So I thought maybe you were gonna finally tell me what actually happened with my grandmother.

Gwen: That’s still eating away at you, is it?

Abigail: Whether or not you murdered her in cold blood? Yeah. It is, because I, unlike you, have some sense of humanity and decency.

Gwen: Well, sorry, sis, this isn’t about laura. It’s about somebody else who’s very, very important to you, someone that I’m sure you would not want to get hurt.

Abigail: I have zero interest in playing games, gwen. So tell me why I’m here or I’m gone.

Gwen: It’s about jack.

Abigail: What did you do to my father?

Gwen: Our father.

Abigail: What did you do?

Gwen: Oh, god, relax.

Abigail: Relax? You just– you just said he could get hurt.

Gwen: Yes, well, he can if he’s not properly celebrated.

Abigail: What?

Gwen: If I’m not mistaken, tomorrow is his birthday.

Abigail: And?

Gwen: Well, I can’t exactly throw him a party, can I? Or take him out for a nice meal. But I just–I– I want him to know how much I care for him and that I wish I could be with him and send him my love. So I made him a gift. And I’m hoping that you can deliver it to him.

Lucas: What’s your beef with ej?

Clyde: Did I say we had a beef?

Lucas: You implied you were enemies, so–

Clyde: Well, that’s probably too strong a word. See, I brought him a business proposition a little while ago, a very lucrative one. He turned me down cold, so I guess you could say I’m deeply disappointed.

Lucas: You’re tight enough with ej that you can pitch him business ideas?

Clyde: Well, we were cellmates at statesville for a while, got to know each other pretty well. That boy’s a talker, he is.

Lucas: Oh, I’ll bet. Bet he talked about himself the whole damn time, didn’t he?

Clyde: Actually, he talked a lot about you. He didn’t have a lot of nice things to say either.

Lucas: He talked about me? Why?

Clyde: He had to vent.

Lucas: About what?

Clyde: About your wife’s kidnapping. Wouldn’t shut up about it. Day and night, swore he was innocent. Said he shouldn’t be in prison. But that you should be… since you’re the one who really did it.

Belle: Shawn, what are you doing here?

Shawn: What, me? What are you doing here? Your mom said you stayed the night.

Belle: Well, she shouldn’t have; it’s not your concern.

Shawn: You’re my wife.

Belle: Well, we’re legally separated, so I’m under no obligation to tell you where I sleep, especially when you have a psychopath living in our house.

Susan: A psychopath?

Belle: Oh yeah. Jan spears. Haven’t you heard? She’s pregnant with shawn’s baby.

Shawn: It’s not what you think, okay? Look, belle, I know– I know that you’re upset.

Belle: No, I was fine until you barged in here and started interrogating me.

Shawn: Nobody is interrogating you. But, you know what, susan just asked a very good question. What’s up with you and ej?

Ej: You don’t have to answer him.

Shawn: Do you mind? I’m speaking to my wife here.

Susan: In my son’s house.

Ej: Thank you, mother, but I can handle this. You want to know what’s going on? Well, I’ll tell you. After a series of deeply upsetting events, belle needed a place to be to feel safe and comfortable. She chose to come here. And you’re welcome to stay for as long as you like. Now we were about to have brunch, so you can see yourself out.

Shawn: I was right.

Belle: About what?

Shawn: About why you wanted to get separated. You said that this had nothing to do with you and ej. And then five minutes after I sign those papers, boom, you move in with him.

Belle: I did not move in with him; I’m just staying here.

Shawn: Oh, are you seriously trying to argue semantics, counselor? Belle, you and I both know damn well what’s going on here.

Belle: Nothing is going on here except me trying to find a place I can stay where I don’t feel betrayed and/or insulted!

Shawn: Oh, and you sure figured that out, didn’t you? Oh, or maybe ej figured that out. Oh, and I’m sure that he is so pleased with himself, ’cause I know that he’s been trying to steal you from me for a while now. And you know what? He succeeded.

Belle: Shawn, you are so wrong.

Shawn: No, I–no, I am right on the money. Come on, let’s face it. All right, you go from– from working with him to living with him, and now? And now you’re sleeping with him, aren’t you?

Jan: Ah! Oh, god, it hurts! It really hurts!

Marlena: Can you describe the pain?

Jan: It’s terrible pain. Like nothing I’ve ever felt before. Help me, please.

Marlena: Jan, try to stay calm.

Jan: How can I stay calm? Dr. Evans, I think I’m in labor.

[Crying out] We hit the bike trails every weekend

Abigail: You made dad a gift? Hm, well, here I thought you were only capable of making trouble and misery.

Gwen: I happened to work very hard on this gift. I had to start it over three times just to get it right.

Abigail: You’re serious? You actually made something? What the hell is that?

Gwen: What’s it look like, abigail? It’s a mug. You know, for tea, coffee?

Abigail: Poisoned champagne?

Gwen: I made it in art therapy. Look, it says “dad” right there.

Abigail: [Laughing]

Gwen: Really? Really, you’re laughing?

Abigail: It’s just so pathetic.

Gwen: Will you give it to jack or not?

Abigail: Why don’t you just mail it to him?

Gwen: Mail it to him from here? Really? It would take months if I did that. Or he might not even get it at all.

Abigail: Something tells me he might be okay with that.

Gwen: Look, it might not be a cashmere sweater or a gold watch, but this was the best that I could do, okay? And jack has been very kind to me. He’s gotten justin to help reduce my sentence. So I just–I just want to show him my gratitude.

Abigail: Well, you know, you could always try not committing more crimes or not being the biggest bitch who ever lived.

Gwen: My god, you are doing this all just to punish me, aren’t you? You want our dad to think that I forgot about his birthday while you, what, get to all celebrate together in the horton house?

Abigail: Dad’s in boston.

Gwen: Oh. Well then, you being the perfect, lovely, great daughter of his then aren’t you gonna go fly out there and be with him on his birthday?

Abigail: You know, actually, I was thinking about flying up there to surprise him.

Gwen: Well, that’s great then. You can just put my gift in your carry-on bag, can’t you? Look, I know you hate me. But jack doesn’T. And he’s all I have left. So it would absolutely mean the world to me if you could just please just do this one favor for me. Please give him the mug.

Abigail: Okay. Yeah, fine. I’ll take your mug.

Gwen: Thank you.

[Tense music]

Abigail: Whoops.

Kate: Okay, so abigail promised you that she wouldn’t say anything. Why didn’t you tell me that right away?

Chad: Look, she hates lying. But in this case, she understands that it’s for the greater good. She doesn’t want to destroy my relationship with ej, and she doesn’t want to send her uncle lucas to prison. She knows it would destroy her mother.

Kate: Well, I mean, that’s an assurance, but it’s not a guarantee, right?

Chad: Well, it’s as close as you’re going to get.

Kate: Oh, my god.

Chad: You’re lucky I told you. I didn’t even have to.

Kate: Why did you tell me, chad?

Chad: Why else? Because I’m an amazing guy, heart’s as big as all outdoors.

Kate: Actually, that’s true, you know.

Chad: Yeah, right.

Kate: No, it is. I know that I’ve given you a number of reasons not to give a damn about me and, well, it seems like that you still do.

Chad: Yeah, I do. And I know this involves your child, and I can relate to that, so I want you rest assured you don’t have to worry about lucas. Okay?

Lucas: Ej told you I kidnapped sami, huh?

Clyde: Oh, yeah. Said it was a frame job. No doubt about it in his mind.

Lucas: Well, you know what? I’m not surprised, because when a person can’t live with their own guilt, they project their feelings onto others. So, you know.

Clyde: You could always sue him for slander. That is, if what he says is not true.

Lucas: I’m not taking ej to court. I don’t need that messy court battle. Plus, I don’t need the money right now anyway.

Clyde: Hm. Must be nice. You know that business opportunity I mentioned earlier, might be a blessing that ej turned me down.

Lucas: Why’s that?

Clyde: ‘Cause I think you’d be a much better partner.

Jan: [Groaning] Oh, god! This is the worst. Please help me.

Marlena: Okay, well, just try to stay calm. We’ll figure out what we’re dealing with. That’s good.

Jan: [Groaning]

Belle: I am not sleeping with ej. I’m sleeping by myself in a guest room. And the only reason I am is because I can’t spend another night at my mom’S.

Shawn: Okay, look, I get that you’re upset with marlena. But belle, you could’ve gone to the salem inn. You could’ve gone to any hotel. You knew that coming here would send a message.

Belle: Oh, well, I’m sorry I wasn’t really thinking about messaging. I was too busy dealing with the shock of being utterly betrayed by my entire family!

Shawn: Oh, belle, come on! Everybody is on your side. You’ve got to know that.

Belle: Oh, really? How would I know that? I mean, I was already living my worst nightmare. You know, the woman who has been terrorizing me for decades is having my husband’s baby and living in my house. And now my mom wants to be her therapist. And my husband and my father just go along with it.

Shawn: Jan needs help. She needs it. And if she doesn’t get it, that innocent baby is gonna suffer. Look, as hard as it is, I’m praying–I’m praying that your mom succeeds– for everyone’s sake.

Susan: And she will, she will. Dr. Marlena can work miracles. Okay, I’m sorry. It’s none of my business.

Belle: All right, fine. Let’s look at a fantasy future where jan is all better and isn’t a homicidal maniac anymore. What then? What? We’re all just gonna live happily ever after?

[Cell phone ringing] I’m sure that’s her now.

Shawn: No, it’s actually your mother. When I left the house, they were just starting their first session.

Belle: Oh. Well, maybe she’s calling to say she’s all cured.

Shawn: Marlena, hey. What’s going on? Is everything okay? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I’m on my way. Okay. All right. I got to go to the hospital.

Belle: What? Why? What’s wrong?

Shawn: Jan’s in labor. We women are in the know about everything.

Clyde: You know that opportunity I mentioned. It’s very lucrative. You put a little money in, you take a whole lot out. You interested?

Lucas: I’d say there’s no way this opportunity is legal. So I’d like to stay out of prison.

Clyde: So far, so good, huh?

Lucas: Sorry, what was that?

Clyde: I’m just saying that if you change your mind, you know where to find me. And I got to say, if ej were going around saying that I’d committed a crime and I didn’t, I wouldn’t be too happy about it.

Lucas: I’m not happy about it either, but there’s nothing I can do.

Clyde: Oh, there’s always something you can do. You might just need a little help doing it. So who knows? Maybe we could help each other.

Lucas: Maybe.

Clyde: You think about it.

Gwen: What the hell did you just do that for?

Abigail: You should be thanking me; I put that thing out of its misery.

Gwen: That thing was a gift for our father, and you just deliberately destroyed it.

Abigail: You destroy everything that you touch! You hardly have a right to complain!

Gwen: What is wrong with you?

Abigail: With me? Are you joking? You tried to ruin my life! And when it didn’t work, you decided to torment me forever about the death of my grandmother! And you have the audacity to ask me for a favor?

Gwen: You didn’t have to bloody break it!

Abigail: Honey, you’re lucky that’s all I broke.

Gwen: It’s okay. I’ll just make another one.

Abigail: Great. Make a whole damn set. Lord knows you’re gonna have plenty of time for it.

Gwen: You selfish bitch! I am going to make you pay for this!

Abigail: Hm. Mm-hmm.

[Laughs]

Belle: Did he just say jan’s in labor?

Ej: I’m so sorry, belle.

Susan: I think I’m gonna shove off now.

Ej: What do you have planned for today, mother?

Susan: Uh, nothing.

Ej: Then you should join us for brunch.

Susan: Uh, no, thank you.

Ej: Not hungry?

Susan: Oh, no, I’m–I’m as hungry as a horse. It’s just I don’t want to be the third wheel on the buggy, if you catch my drift. Oh, elvis, I–I’d like to remind you of something, you know, the same thing that that dreamy detective reminded you of before. Huh? Belle brady– you know, mrs. Belle brady here, is still married, and you are still married to her sister. And I know, I know–I know your samantha has moved on, but I don’t think you have, son. And I am not the teensiest bit convinced that you are over her. So there. So.

[Playful music]

Shawn: Yeah, that’s right, ms. Spears didn’t violate the terms of her arrest. Her ankle monitor went off because she was admitted to the hospital. I’m on my way to see her right now. Yeah. Yes, I will– yes, I’ll clear everything up with her probation officer as soon as possible. All right. Thanks. Where’s jan?

Marlena: She’s just been admitted. She’s in a room up the hall.

Shawn: Okay. Thanks. With depression, you just feel…blah.

Kate: Lucas? What the hell are you doing?

Belle: [Sighs] God. No matter how hard I try to wrap my head around it, I just– I just can’t believe that jan is at the hospital right now about to deliver my husband’s baby.

Ej: It does seem as though you just learned she was pregnant.

Belle: Yeah. I’ve known longer than I’d like. But she went into labor a lot sooner than she was supposed to. This baby’s gonna be very premature.

Ej: Well, then, maybe there’s a bright side. Maybe this child won’t survive.

Jan: Shawn, thank god you came.

Shawn: Yeah. Of course I did.

Jan: It’s too soon. The baby can’t come yet.

Shawn: Look, it’s okay, all right? The doctors are gonna take good care of you.

Jan: And what if something happens? I already love this baby more than anything in the world. And I’m scared. I’m so scared, shawn.

Shawn: Everything’s gonna be all right, all right? I’m here. I’m right here.

Chad: So gwen asked you to bring a mug to your father, and you smashed it to bits?

Abigail: I dropped it. You know me. Butter fingers. It was an accident.

Chad: Really?

Abigail: Nope. Nope, did it on purpose. Gwen was not too happy about it. In fact, I would say she was positively horror-struck.

Chad: I bet. What’d she say?

Abigail: Only that she would, wait for it, “make me pay.”

Gwen: [Breathing heavily] It’s gwen. Who else would be bloody phoning you from prison? Look, I need to talk to you about abigail. If I don’t get to spend my father’s birthday with him, then neither does she.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sonny: Will, I forgot my– what the hell?

Leo: Hello, sonny.

Abigail: That’s great. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you so much. Hi, so, um, I just got some great news.

Chad: You’re pregnant?

Abigail: No, no. Not yet. No. We’re gonna have to keep trying.

Chad: Well, it’s better than digging ditches. So what’s the great news?

Abigail: Well, you know, I’ve been working on sami’s kidnapping story, and I finally have a solid lead. I think I’m actually getting close to who’s actually behind it all.

Marlena: Belle, I know you’re upset with me, but please call me. We have to talk about this.

[Knocking on door] Oh! Kate.

Kate: Hey.

Marlena: Hello.

Kate: So sorry just to drop in like this.

Marlena: No. I’m always glad to see you.

Kate: Okay. Did you know that will was going back to arizona today?

Marlena: Well, not that it was today, no. That seems rather sudden.

Kate: I know. Anyway, so roman and I are gonna throw him a little going away breakfast, and we were really hoping that you and john could come over.

Marlena: Oh. Well, john’s working, but– let me think, I–oh. I can make that. I’d be glad to be there.

Kate: Okay. Are you all right? You just don’t seem quite like yourself.

Marlena: Oh. I’m a little worried about belle.

Kate: Yeah. Yeah, I heard that she and shawn are having problems.

Marlena: That’s putting it mildly.

Kate: So is she still staying here with you?

Marlena: Well, she was until last night, and then she got upset with us– she got upset with me, and stormed out and hasn’t come home.

Ej: [Chuckles] There’s that beautiful smile. What are you thinking?

Belle: I am thinking that this is the best I’ve felt in a long time and that–

Ej: That what?

Belle: That for the first time since shawn and i separated, as painful as it was, I feel like it happened for a reason.

Ej: Mm-hmm. So you and I could be together like this. And just so you know, when I said you could stay here last night, I swear I didn’t plan for you to wind up in my bed.

Belle: [Laughing] I didn’t either, but I’m glad I did. I’m really glad I did.

Both: Mm-hmm.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Roman: Hey. What happened to you?

Lucas: [Sighs] Ej dimera.

Belle: I can’t believe sami let you get away.

[Echoing] Ej. Ej?

Ej: Oh. [Grunts]

Belle: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.

Ej: Oh, it’s okay. I should have been up an hour ago. Did you sleep okay?

Belle: Yeah. I slept fine. Um, since I didn’t make it to my parents last night, I was wondering if you thought abigail might have some clothes?

Ej: I have a better idea. I’ll lend you a robe to wear down to breakfast, and we’ll have harold send for your things.

Belle: Oh. No. I’ve, um–I’ve already been too much of an imposition.

Ej: Belle, don’t you know you could never be an imposition?

Sonny: Will. Will, are you okay? You drugged him too, didn’t you?

Leo: I didn’t need to drug him. He couldn’t wait to get out of your bed and into mine.

Sonny: But this is my bed.

Leo: Not anymore. Right, pookie?

Will: Yes, pookie.

Sonny: Ah! Oh.

Will: What? What? What’s wrong?

Sonny: Oh, my god.

[Panting] Oh, my god. I just had the most awful dream that I walked in on you and leo having–in bed together.

Will: I’m sorry. Yeah. That qualifies as a nightmare. Sonny, that’s all it was though. It was just a dream, okay? It’s obviously never gonna happen in real life.

Sonny: I know. I just– I never thought that would happen to me again too, so–

Will: He really did a number on you, didn’t he?

Sonny: I don’t know. I’ve been trying to let it go.

Will: Sonny, he drugged you, and he took degrading pictures of you. Of course you can’t just let it go. That’s gonna take time.

Sonny: I know.

Will: But you know, as crappy as it was, it didn’t– it didn’t change things, right? It didn’t change us.

Sonny: Well, I thank god for that. I just– I can’t help but think he’s not done getting revenge.

Will: Yeah. I know. I mean, he said himself that he had other fish to fry. He has a long list of people he blames for craig leaving him.

Sonny: Yeah. Everyone but himself.

Will: He published those pictures of chad, and he did the same to you. I wonder who he’s going after next?

[Cell phone rings]

Leo: Hello? Yes, I’ll accept the call. Guinevere, thank you for checking up on me. Thanks to your directions, I’ve been able to wend my way through these tunnels. I was very robert donat, very “prisoner of zenda.” Ah, you are a film illiterate. Well, it’s not the ritz, but it beats sleeping on a bench in prospect park. Plus, there are some very nice amenities here at chez dimera. And best of all, your sister is right upstairs.

Abigail: So you know how i said I was gonna find sami’s kidnapper by tracking down the other guy, the one who got away?

Chad: Right.

Abigail: Well, I thought it was gonna be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but turns out the guy just got arrested in wisconsin on completely unrelated charges.

Chad: How in god’s name did you find that out?

Abigail: [Scoffs] I just–I realized that salem pd stopped looking for him as soon as ej was released. And I reached out to this contact I have in milwaukee to help me track wisconsin arrest reports, and– it was a total long shot, and it paid off. This right here, this is where you would say, “hey, great work, abigail.” And then you’d compare me

Chad: No, it’s–it was grt. You–you found him. But was it worth it?

Abigail: Excuse me?

Chad: I mean, abby, do you really think that this guy’s gonna tell you a different story than the other guy, the one who testified that ej was the one that hired him?

Abigail: I don’t know. I guess I’ll find out. I’m going to milwaukee today.

Chad: No you’re– no you’re not. No matter who you are,

Marlena: So when belle heard that I had agreed to treat jan, she became furious, and she took off.

Kate: [Scoffs] Well, do you blame her? I mean jan is pregnant, and belle’s husband is the father of the baby. For years, jan has tried to kill belle. I mean, most recently, she kidnapped her daughter.

Marlena: I know all that. I do know all about all that, but truth of the matter is that, no matter what jan has done, she does deserve to get good mental health care.

Kate: Well, yeah. But it doesn’t mean that you have to be the provider. I mean, I think this would be the perfect time to make a referral to another qualified professional who perhaps doesn’t have personal ties to the fruitcake who’s trying to ruin your daughter’s life.

Marlena: Maybe so, but I am uniquely qualified to treat jan, and maybe if I can do that, maybe I can end this reign of terror she has against my daughter.

Kate: So you want this more than anything.

Marlena: Oh, I do.

Kate: Hm. Good luck. Although I have to say I think moses leading his people into the promised land was probably easier than you trying to lead jan to mental health.

[Cell phone beeps]

Marlena: Oh. It’s from belle.

Kate: Maybe she stayed with shawn last night.

Marlena: No. She’s with ej.

Kate: [Huffs] Really? I mean, I know that’s none of my business, but do you think something’s going on between those two?

Belle: Okay, I just texted my mom to let her know I’m here so she doesn’t worry. Hopefully, they don’t come storming the gates trying to rescue me.

Ej: You’re a grown woman. You’d think they’d respect your wishes.

Belle: Yeah, you’d think they would, but they don’T. Probably because I’ve been such a constant disappointment to them.

Ej: What? Belle, how could you say that? You’re a successful lawyer. You’re a wonderful wife and mother.

Belle: Oh, please. You know that people can look good on paper, but when you learn about how they got where they are and all of the mistakes they made along the way…

Ej: You mean to tell me you’ve made mistakes? Well, I’m shocked.

Belle: Well, you might be if I actually told you about all of them.

Ej: No, I’m sure I would not be, because I know you as an exceptionally smart, caring, and honest person whom I greatly admire and is too hard on yourself.

Belle: Well, thank you for saying that, but from my parents’ perspective, I think that they haven’t really approved of all the decisions that I’ve made. Like, for example, how I handled my daughter’s mental illness.

Ej: You couldn’t have handled it too poorly. Claire’s doing very well now, from what you’ve told me.

Belle: Oh, yeah. No. She is. Thank god. But I don’t give myself credit for that. You know, I was really in denial for a long time, and I think– I think that caused her and a lot of other people a lot of pain. And I think my mom still holds that against me.

Ej: There you go being hard on yourself again. And do you really think your mother holds that against you, that you didn’t have all the answers in a very terribly difficult situation?

Belle: I don’t know, okay? I just worry that she doesn’t think that I’m capable of making good decisions. And that is why I am here looking so sloppy.

Ej: No, you look beautiful as always.

Belle: Well, it’s definitely not how I want to look when I go crawling back to my parents.

Ej: I’ll ask abigail to loan you something.

Belle: Would you? That would be great. Thank you.

Ej: But first, I would like to ask you a question.

Belle: Okay.

Ej: Belle, do you really want to go back to your parents?

Roman: So you and ej got into it? Couldn’t have possibly been about sami, could it?

Lucas: Ej still thinks that I’m the one who kidnapped her. He’s still pushing that big lie, which is ludicrous, because everybody knows he did it.

Roman: Charges against him were dropped.

Lucas: Yeah, ’cause he’s a dimera, and dimeras don’t ever pay for anything they do. You know that. I mean, what I don’t get is, now that he’s gotten away with it, why doesn’t he just let the matter drop?

Roman: If he got away with it.

Lucas: I think he got away with it; he’s a free man.

Roman: Yeah, but I’m not sure it was ej to start with. I still have a lot of unanswered questions about what actually happened.

Leo: Ugh, can you hear my stomach growling out there in statesville? I need some breakfast to go with this fine bottle of champagne. Mm, I don’t know how long I’m gonna be here. I’m still working out my plan. But when I am through, chad will know exactly how I felt when I lost the love of my life.

Abigail: What do you mean, “no, you’re not going?” Please tell me that was not an order. Please tell me you’re not telling me not to do my job.

Chad: Okay. I’m–I’m sorry. That came out the wrong way. How about–look, how about– can we just talk about it, because I’m worried about you?

[Tense music]

Look, I just got you back from kristen, and now you want to track down some guy who kidnaps women for a living, and for what? The story’s old news. Ej’s out of jail. Sami is out of town. Nobody really cares who kidnapped sami, and ej just wants to move past it all.

Abigail: Has it ever occurred to you that if ej’s innocent that sami could still be in danger?

Chad: Lucas found her months ago, and nothing has happened. And like, what, you’re gonna put your life on the line for a chance at, like, maybe–

Abigail: I’m going to a supervised visitation procedure at a police station. It’s hardly putting my life on the line.

Chad: What if the real kidnapper finds out?

Abigail: Okay. Great. We’re in agreement. Whoever hired these goons could be dangerous.

Chad: Oh–you’re relentless.

Abigail: I am. Yes. And besides, don’t you want to clear ej’s name?

Chad: Yeah, but–

Abigail: Okay, look. You’re not gonna talk me out of this; I’m going to milwaukee. I’m going today. I’m gonna find out the truth.

Chad: Wait. St–just– okay, just listen. Okay, look, you don’t have to go anywhere to find out who really kidnapped sami. I know. It was lucas. With relapsing forms of ms,

Will: Okay, so we know leo’s gonna go after brady and chloe, right, and god knows who else. But the good thing is, the more people he goes after, the more likely it is that he’ll get caught.

Sonny: Well, I don’t know about that. I mean the drugs he gave me were completely out of my system by the time I took my blood test. You know, I–gosh. I just–I hate the way he gets away with things. That’s why I think I went so crazy when I found out about craig wesley, you know. I couldn’t stand him doing what he did to me to someone else and just getting away with it.

Will: Well, he didn’t get away with it, right? You saw to that. You rounded up your band of merry men and women, and set out to free craig wesley and, by god, you freed craig wesley.

Sonny: Now I just got to free myself. I got to get this little creep out of my head.

Will: I think I can help with that.

[Tender music]

Leo: [Sighs] I don’t suppose door dart delivers to secret dungeons when they could barely find craig’s room at the salem inn. I guess I’ll have to go hunt down my own breakfast.

Thomas: Who are you? And what are you doing in my house?

Kate: I don’t know. I mean, don’t you think it’s telling that, of all the people belle knows in salem, she went to ej’s last night?

Marlena: No. No. Belle and ej work together.

Kate: Ah. A business sleepover.

Marlena: They’re only friends, kate.

Kate: Mm-hmm. Well, from what I know of ej, he doesn’t have friends. Predators seldom do.

Marlena: No, trust me. I–I do know that. But belle is in no mood for any kind of advice from either one of her parents.

Kate: Ugh. It would be so much more simple if children just did what their parents said.

Marlena: I can’t even imagine how sami would react if she thought that ej was going after her sister.

Kate: Well, why would she even care? I mean, she’s with lucas now, and they’re very happy.

Marlena: Well, yes. I know they’re happy together, but it would still drive her over the edge if she thought that ej was pursuing her sister, even though ej had kidnapped her, and she was afraid for her life.

Kate: Indeed.

Marlena: I will forever be grateful to lucas for rescuing her from those kidnappers and for the friendship they’ve had all these years, through thick and thin, good and bad, up and down, ever since they were teenagers.

Kate: Yeah. Well, onward and upward, right? Let’s get over to the pub. What do you say?

Marlena: Let’s go.

Kate: Okay.

Belle: No. No. I don’t want to go back to my parents, but I also don’t want to hurt them. You know, they’ve been through a lot too. I just think right now I need to take care of myself and preserve my sanity as much as I can.

Ej: Absolutely none of my business, but I think that’s the right way to go.

Belle: Yeah, it’s the only way to go. So I think I’ll just do what everyone else in salem does when their life falls apart, and I’ll go get a room at the salem inn. I hear they have a very good rate for losers.

Ej: You’re not a loser, belle. You’re a strong woman who’s been put in an impossible position. You’re regrouping.

Belle: Ah. Euphemism for “falling apart.”

Ej: Well, given that your marriage has fallen apart, and in a very unexpected and painful way, I see someone who is dealing with an impossible situation with a great deal of dignity, character. You’re a lot stronger than you think.

Belle: Well, I guess I feel a lot stronger when I know you see me that way.

Ej: I always have.

Belle: Well, in spite of that, you definitely don’t need this, you know, some random, heartbroken woman showing up on your doorstep.

Ej: Damn it, belle. You are not some random, heartbroken woman. You are my friend. Now, I can’t change what’s happened to you. I can’t make your husband stand up to that lunatic woman, and I can’t put that lunatic back in the asylum. But what I can offer you is a guest bedroom, privacy, autonomy, and time to think. As much time as you need.

Belle: Okay.

Ej: Then it’s settled. I’ll tell harold to have your things brought here.

Belle: Ej, I–thank you.

Ej: Think nothing of it. And if you ever question the magnitude of what you’re dealing with, let me just say that this is the first time in my entire life that I have ever thought that this madhouse could be anyone’s oasis of calm.

Lucas: Well, what do you mean you have unanswered questions? Like what?

Roman: Well, like who framed ej by planting those phony transactions on dimera computers? And why bother to frame him if he actually was guilty? I mean it’s usually innocent people who get framed.

Lucas: Do you think ej’s innocent?

Roman: He’s not usually, but in this case, the cop part of me says it just doesn’t add up.

Lucas: Well, the guy who held sami captive said that ej hired him, so for me, that’s pretty much all the proof I need. You know, and now that ej’s got a walk, I’m gonna make sure he stays away from sami for good.

Roman: Okay, if you need help with that, let me know. I may not be sure that ej kidnapped sami, but I’m damn sure he is a creep.

Lucas: Well, amen to that. Thank you. So, uh, roman–

Roman: So, uh, lucas?

Lucas: Um, well, sami and I, you know, over the years, you know, through all the weddings and the divorces– I just want to make sure that I get things right from the start this time.

Roman: Uh, good idea.

Lucas: Right, so, um, I’m asking your permission to marry sami.

Abigail: You’re telling me that it was lucas who kidnapped sami? No. No, no, no. Dimeras kidnap people, but not hortons.

Chad: It’s the truth.

Abigail: How can it be? Why would lucas kidnap sami?

Chad: To keep sami from going back to ej.

Abigail: You’re sure?

Chad: I caught him planting fake financial reports on my computer to frame ej. And then he–lucas basically admitted everything and begged me to keep my mouth shut, to let ej take the fall.

Abigail: And you just went along with it?

Chad: Well, I didn’t want lucas to go to prison, and ej wasn’t exactly my favorite person at that time.

Abigail: Wait a–okay. Wait. So that was months ago. You’ve known all this time?

Chad: There were so many times that I wanted to tell you the truth. And I knew that ej could go to prison for years for something that he didn’t do. I was gonna come clean about everything, testify at the trial.

Abigail: But then you thought that he kissed me at the courthouse, so you kept your mouth shut and watched as he was shipped off to prison.

Chad: And then I found out that it wasn’t him, so I was going to come forward again. But then belle got the charges dropped and got him out of prison, and then kate convinced me that lucas wasn’t a threat to sami. But since ej was released, telling the truth wasn’t gonna help anyone, but it would screw up my relationship with ej big time, probably permanently.

Abigail: I can’t believe this.

Chad: I’m sorry. And I know that I have no right to ask you this, but can you please keep this between us?

Ej: Keep what between you?

[Dramatic music]

My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Roman: Okay, so you are asking me for my daughter’s hand in marriage?

Lucas: Yeah. That’s right.

Roman: Okay, like we have suddenly hurtled back a couple centuries, and like sami wouldn’t do exactly what she wants to do, whether I bless her or not?

Lucas: I know. You’re right. You’re right. She would. But this isn’t about you and sami. It’s more about you and me. Um, I was just wondering if it’s okay, you know, if, um, if you think I’m good enough for your daughter. I mean, your opinion matters to me, so.

Roman: Okay.

Lucas: And I know that my history isn’t the best in the world right now, so–

Roman: You mean you’ve screwed up a lot.

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah. You could say that.

Roman: Well, you have. But you’ve also been a great dad to will and allie, and you’ve been a really good friend to sami. And you know, I love sami very much, but you? You’re good for her. I think you understand her in a way that nobody else does. So yes. You do have my blessing.

Lucas: Thank you.

Roman: Just keep her safe, okay?

Lucas: I will.

Roman: And visit often.

Lucas: You got it.

Kate: Are we interrupting something?

Sonny: As much as I hate to leave, I think your family’s expecting us at the pub, like, now.

Will: Well, that can wait. This can’T.

Sonny: [Laughs]

Leo: Who am I? I think the better question is who are you?

Thomas: I’m thomas dimera.

Leo: Well, young thomas, what are you doing down here all by yourself?

Thomas: My sister and I are playing hide-and-seek.

Leo: I guess you’re found now, aren’t you?

Chad: So belle, what are you doing here?

Ej: I’ve invited her to stay here with us for a while– in the guest room, of course.

Chad: That’s very hospitable of you.

Ej: It’s the least I can do after she helped me get out of prison on those false kidnapping charges.

Chad: Right.

Ej: Yeah, so what were you asking abigail to keep between the two of you?

Chad: It’s a private conversation.

Abigail: Oh, no, chad, I– I think we should tell him. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Roman: Uh, no, you’re not interrupting anything. Just guy talk.

Kate: Oh, yeah. What about those cubs?

Roman: Yeah, along those lines. Marlena, glad you could make it.

Marlena: Thank you for asking me.

Roman: Yeah, I was hoping that you’d bring john and belle along.

Marlena: John’s at work, and belle and I aren’t getting along right now.

Roman: Sorry to hear that.

Marlena: Yeah. Thank you. I’m actually a little bit worried that she and shawn might not be able to get through all this.

Roman: Come on. Look at lucas and sami. If they can get through what they’ve gotten through, then hope for everyone.

Kate: I know that you think you’ve worked everything out with sami, but–

Lucas: Don’t do it, all right. Don’t start in on her.

Kate: Okay, I’m not starting in on her. I’m starting in on you, because I know you think you’re going to just walk off into the sunset with her. And I’m telling you right now, if she finds out from anyone other than you that you’re the one who kidnapped her, there’s no coming back from that.

Lucas: Don’t you think I know that?

Kate: Well, then why don’t you tell her yourself? Tell her it was you.

Lucas: Are you nuts? She would kill me. Don’t be like that. She wouldn’t understand. You know what? It doesn’t matter, because she’s never gonna find out, because you’re not gonna say anything, and chad’s not gonna say anything. And no one else knows.

Kate: I hope you’re right.

Roman: Kate, you know what’s keeping will?

Sonny: I wish you didn’t have to leave today.

Will: [Sighs] I know. But ari and I will be back before you know it, as soon as she’s done with school.

Sonny: Well, it was nice just to see you, even if it was ’cause of leo.

[Sneaky music]

Leo: I could lock you up down here, and your parents probably wouldn’t notice for months. Or years, for all the attention they pay. But I’m a good person. I couldn’t do that, could I?

Thomas: Why are you talking to yourself? And who are you anyway?

Leo: I’m the tooth fairy.

Thomas: I didn’t lose a tooth.

Leo: Get me a pair of pliers, and we can take care of that.

Thomas: What?

Leo: Nothing. Just kidding. I-I must have the wrong house.

Thomas: How could you be the tooth fairy? Fairies are girls.

Leo: [Snorts] You have a lot to learn, kid. But you are a very lucky little boy. Nobody is supposed to see the tooth fairy. So now you get to keep a very big secret. You can’t tell anyone about me, especially not your parents. So can I count on you or not?

Abigail: Chad and I have decided to try to have another baby.

Belle: [Gasps]

Abigail: Yes. He wants to keep it between us. I’m excited to share it. Of course, you know, with any luck, everyone’s gonna know soon enough anyways.

Ej: Oh, that’s wonderful.

Belle: Aw, that’s some baby news I can actually be happy about.

Chad: Yeah.

Abigail: And chad wasn’t able to be present with my other pregnancies from the very beginning, so this is gonna be different. These days we just share everything.

Ej: Congratulations. I’m thrilled for the both of you.

[Dramatic music]

I was on an antidepressant,

Belle: I mean, how did harold get my stuff here so quickly?

Ej: He’s magical. And I figured you’d want to unpack, so I asked him to bring up breakfast on a tray. Steak and eggs. Better than the pub.

Belle: Well, I could get used to this. I mean, it is just so different than how I grew up.

Ej: Well, sometimes I wish I grew up like you, in a normal home with two parents.

Belle: And a big sister who hated me and carrie with every fiber of her being.

Ej: That’s what it means to be a brother or sister. Hey, three months ago, chad and I wanted to kill each other, but now? We’re like– we’re like brothers.

Belle: It is good to see you two worked it out.

Ej: I don’t think it would be an overstatement to say that I was a real jerk when I came back to salem.

Belle: Yeah, I think chad might be the first to agree with that.

Ej: And now that he’s found some way to get over it, I’m gonna make sure that I don’t screw things up with him anymore.

Chad: Oh, I thought for a minute there that you were gonna tell ej everything.

Abigail: No. I mean, I felt like I had to say something, otherwise he was gonna think we were keeping secrets from him.

Chad: Which we were. I’m sorry for dragging you into this.

Abigail: I hate lying. But I think you’re right. I mean, I don’t want to mess up your relationship with ej. I don’t want lucas to go to prison. My mom would be crushed.

Chad: I should have known you’d understand.

Abigail: I’m on your side. I love you. And we’re a team, now and always.

[Tender music]

Leo: If you say anything, kid, it means no more tooth fairy money for the rest of your life.

Thomas: But I have two loose teeth.

Leo: Then you better keep your trap shut.

Thomas: Okay.

Leo: Now, I know you come from a family full of liars, creeps, and sneaks.

Thomas: What?

Leo: So I hope I can trust you to keep your word.

Thomas: Well, I don’t want to lose my 50 bucks.

Leo: 50 bucks?

Thomas: Per tooth.

Leo: In my day, it was 50 cents. Inflation. So can I count on you? Good, ’cause I’m gonna be watching you.

Thomas: You sound like santa.

Leo: Who says I’m not? Santa, easter bunny, tooth fairy. You want the magic to continue, I’m gonna need you to bring me some breakfast. So why don’t you head up to the kitchen and scare me up a tray?

Thomas: The tooth fairy eats people food?

Leo: Mm-hmm. And drink, so can you bring me some orange juice too, for my mimosa?

Thomas: What’s a mimosa?

Leo: Oh, don’t worry about it; just go. Chop-chop. Go.

Lucas: Hey.

Marlena: Oh!

Roman: Where have you two been?

Will: Uh, sorry. Something kind of came up.

Marlena: Well, as long as you’re here now.

Will: Yes, and I’m sorry for the combined hello and goodbye, but I’m gonna be back soon.

Kate: Okay, well, we’re gonna hold you to that, so.

[Cell phone beeps]

Lucas: What’s wrong?

Kate: Uh, I got to go.

Lucas: Everything okay?

Kate: Yeah. I hope so. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Roman: Well, sorry we didn’t have more time together.

Will: I know. Yeah. I know I kind of blew into town, and now I’m blowing back out, but I promise I’m gonna come back soon.

Marlena: Allie told me that she had a very helpful conversation with you, so thank you for that.

Will: Oh, yeah. I mean, I was just trying to be there for her like you were there for me when I was figuring things out. I love you.

Marlena: Oh, darling.

Sonny: Well, I hate to cut the reunion short, but we should probably get going–

Will: Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I’ll be back soon. Love you, dad.

Lucas: Love you.

Will: And the whole family will be back together again.

Roman: Yeah, well, we’ll have to have a big party. What do you say, lucas?

Lucas: I was just thinking the same thing, yeah.

Chad: Thanks for meeting me.

Kate: Okay, so what’s this important information you need to share with me?

Chad: I thought that you should know I told abigail that lucas kidnapped sami.

Abigail: Thomas? What are you doing in the tunnels?

Leo: I was playing hide-and-seek with charlotte, and she never found me.

Abigail: Well, that’s because she knows you’re not supposed to go down there. Honey, promise me you’ll never do that again. It’s dangerous.

Thomas: Why? No one’s down there except–

Abigail: Except who? Did you see somebody down there?

Thomas: I promised not to tell.

Abigail: You promised who? Honey, it’s okay if you tell me.

Thomas: It was the tooth fairy.

[Tense music]

Leo: Mm. Best mimosa of my life. But I can’t drink too much. I have a big day ahead of me.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jan: Okay. This looks… interesting. Spinach?

Shawn: Yeah. It’s topped with feta cheese.

Jan: And this delicious looking concoction?

Shawn: It’s a smoothie made with avocado, oat milk, ginger, and kale.

Jan: Wow. Super healthy. It’s just I was craving one of those fat, greasy burgers from the pub.

Shawn: What, so–what, so instead of folic acid and vitamins, you want grease and salt?

Jan: I’m sorry. I know you’re just looking out for the health of our baby.

Shawn: And I’m looking out for your health too, jan.

Jan: Really? Wonder what belle would think about that.

Ej: Why don’t you stay for dinner? We can talk, share a bottle of wine. Relax. You look like you could really use it.

Belle: Can I have another glass of wine? Actually, you know what, will you just bring the whole bottle over?

Ej: Hello, lucas.

Lucas: Ej.

Ej: I heard you were back in town. How’s allie?

Lucas: You really care?

Ej: Actually, I do. No matter how I feel about you, I’ve always had affection for your children.

Lucas: All right.

Ej: For what it’s worth, I’m glad she is no longer possessed by the devil.

Lucas: Well, that’s mighty big of you. I’m glad johnny’s not possessed by the devil too.

Ej: Thank you.

Lucas: I guess that’s one more thing that allie and johnny have in common, isn’t it?

Ej: Hmm. You mean besides being in love with the same woman?

Allie: I heard that the devil quit my job. I was hoping you might take me back.

Chanel: You mean at the bakery. Right?

Allie: Not just at the bakery. Chanel, I want to get back together.

[Footsteps approach]

[Throat clears]

Johnny: Ha. As if I needed any more proof this twin intuition thing was real.

Allie: What does that mean?

Johnny: Well, sis, it looks like we’re both here for the exact same reason. We both want my wife back.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Allie: Ie: Uh, excuse me, but chanel is nobody’s wife.

Johnny: Yeah. Because the devil forced me to divorce her. Look, if I hadn’t been possessed, you and i would still be happily married.

Chanel: You may be right.

Johnny: I know I’m right. Which is why allie should bow out gracefully.

Lucas: I guess johnny confided in you about his renewed feelings for chanel.

Ej: Renewed? According to my son, he never stopped loving her.

Lucas: Well, too bad for your son. He dumped her, so chanel went to allie for comfort.

Ej: Do I need to point out that your daughter also broke chanel’s heart?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah. She was under supernatural influence at the time. Yeah.

Ej: Exactly. So as far as I’m concerned, the last half year is a wash. Which means the best thing for everyone would be for allie to step aside and give johnny and chanel a chance to rebuild their relationship.

Lucas: No way in hell that’s gonna happen. You’re delusional. My daughter is not gonna roll over for your son.

John: Hey, tink.

Belle: Dad, what are you doing here?

John: Well, I got your message that you wouldn’t be home for dinner. I just thought maybe you’d like a little company.

Belle: How did you find me?

John: Mmm. I have my ways.

Belle: Uh-huh. You talked to shawn?

John: He said that you–

[Sighs] You filed for a legal separation. You sure you want to take such a drastic step?

Belle: He and jan really left me no choice, dad.

Shawn: Listen to me, jan. You don’t need to concern yourself with my marriage. I need you to be focused on that baby. And that means eating healthy. So come on.

Jan: Is that your way of saying I’m not gonna get that cheeseburger?

Shawn: Just try it, all right? Come on. It’s good. Here. See?

Jan: Mmm. It is good!

Marlena: I hope I’m not interrupting. Moderate to severe eczema

Sarah: I forgot how much I missed this.

Xander: But you remember everything else, right?

Sarah: Mm-hmm. No, I do. I remember that…I forgave you for what happened with mickey and that we were happy and we were planning our wedding when kristen… when she stole my life.

Xander: If only I’d known sooner that she kidnapped you.

Sarah: Can’t imagine what you must have thought when i disappeared right before the wedding.

Xander: I was frantic. And then I found you in bed with rex brady.

Sarah: Yeah, but that… wasn’t me.

Xander: My whole life disappeared in that moment, thinking you’d chosen that dunderhead over me.

Sarah: I’m sorry that you went through that. I hate that you had your heart broken and that I was gone and you were all alone.

Xander: Yeah.

Sarah: What? What is it?

Xander: Sarah, I– I was heartbroken. But I wasn’t alone. Not the whole time.

Shawn: Marlena.

Marlena: Shawn. Jan.

Shawn: Uh, jan and i were just having a discussion about her diet.

Jan: He wants me to eat like I’m in training for the triathlon, and I want a big juicy burger.

Shawn: Okay. I just want her to at least try the food that I made.

Marlena: Well, I know jan’s on bedrest. But I think she’s completely capable of feeding herself.

Shawn: Duly noted.

Jan: Dr. Evans, are you here because you’ve made a decision about being my therapist?

Marlena: Yes, I am.

Jan: Great.

Marlena: I’m afraid I can’t help you, jan.

Ej: So you’re encouraging your daughter to help herself to her brother’s wife?

Lucas: I encourage my daughter to follow her heart.

Ej: I don’t know why I should be surprised. It’s not like you value the sanctity of marriage.

Lucas: What are you talking about–sami and me being together? Because when you guys were together, you were estranged.

Ej: Samantha was my wife! In fact, she still is.

Lucas: Well, johnny and chanel aren’t married anymore.

Ej: So let the best twin win? Is that it?

Lucas: I think we both know who that is, don’t we?

Ej: I’m onto you, lucas.

Lucas: You’re onto me? Really?

Ej: Mm-hmm. It’s only a matter of time before I prove to samantha and everyone else in this town that you kidnapped her. And when I do that, there won’t be a rock big enough under which you can hide from my wrath.

Allie: I don’t understand your reasoning, johnny–why should I be the one to bow out?

Johnny: I’m sorry. Did you miss the part where I said that chanel was my wife?

Allie: Yeah, “was,” as in past tense. And I don’t know if I need to remind you, but chanel and I had feelings for each other long before she even knew who you were.

Johnny: Not strong enough to keep you from being with tripp.

Allie: Hey, don’t talk about him, okay? This has nothing to do with him!

Chanel: Enough! Will you guys stop talking about me like I’m not standing here and my opinion doesn’t matter?

Johnny: You’re right. I’m sorry.

Allie: Me too. We’ll stop.

Chanel: Thank you.

Allie: So?

Chanel: So?

Johnny: Tell us.

Chanel: Tell you what?

Johnny: Which one of us do you want to be with? With depression, you just feel…blah.

Jan: There goes my last chance at being a good mother to this baby.

Shawn: Oh, jan, there are other therapists out there that can help you. I’m sure–I’m sure marlena can recommend someone.

Marlena: Yes, I can if jan is sincere about wanting the help.

Jan: Of course I’m sincere. Nothing is more important to me than this child and turning my life around so he or she can be proud of me. Why are you looking at me like that, dr. Evans, like I’m some kind of pariah?

Marlena: I’m sure you understand that I’m concerned that you’re pretending to want my help when, in fact, you’re just concocting a plan to hurt my daughter.

Jan: No! No, no. I swear that isn’t what’s happening here. I swear that I just want to be a good mom to my baby. I think you could really help.

Marlena: I’m sorry. My decision stands. Sorry.

Jan: Bull!

Marlena: Excuse me?

Shawn: Jan, what are you doing?

Jan: She isn’t sorry, shawn.. Marlena evans thinks I’m irredeemable.

Belle: There’s no way that I can live in that house every day and watch shawn take care of jan spears.

John: There’s got to be another solution here.

Belle: Well, none that I can think of, dad. Not as long as jan and that baby are in the picture.

John: So this, uh… separation– it’s a done deal?

Belle: I had ej file the paperwork.

John: Yeah. Yeah, I heard that you and elvis have been spending a lot of time together.

Lucas: You know, I hope johnny is more gracious in defeat than you are. I’d hate to see him turn into a bitter old shell like his old man.

Ej: He’s not going to lose.

Lucas: Well, think what you want. But chanel will choose allie over him. I know it.

Ej: I understand you’re standing up for your daughter. But there’s no way that chanel is going to pick a fragile woman-child over my red-blooded virile son.

Lucas: Fragile? Really? My daughter? My daughter has been through more in her young life than you and I could possibly fathom. She has tackled every challenge head on. And you know what, if you ask me, I’d say my daughter is twice as red-blooded and virile as johnny dimera will ever be.

Allie: The ball’s in your court, dupree.

Chanel: Oh, way to put a sister on the spot, horton.

Johnny: That’s not our intention.

Chanel: Oh, are you sure? Because that’s how it feels to me. And let me just say that the two of you “fighting” over me like some spoiled little kids and I’m some expensive-ass toy, it’s–it’s embarrassing, actually. I mean, are we not all grown up here? Are we not?

Allie: Most of us are.

Chanel: Look, I love you both, okay? And the three of us have been through some strange and pretty terrible times. So for you to ask me to choose between the two of you… I’m just not gonna do it.

Johnny: You’re gonna have to eventually.

Chanel: I don’t “have to” do anything, johnny dimera. And if you want to try to force me to make a choice, then I’ll tell you who I choose. I choose me, damn it!

Sarah: Okay. Well, I was gone out of your life for…a long time. And for most of that time, you believed that I had left you and, um, and I wasn’t coming back. I know you’re not a monk, xander, so if you dated other women–

Xander: There was only really…one woman. But we didn’t just date.

Sarah: What does that mean?

Xander: We were engaged to be married. We women are in the know about everything.

Sarah: You were engaged to someone while I was gone?

Xander: It’s like you said, sarah… I thought you didn’t want me anymore, that… I was at an all-time low when I met her.

Sarah: Who is she?

Xander: Gwen. Gwen rizczech.

Sarah: Jack’s daughter?

Xander: Yeah. That’s the one.

Sarah: Didn’t I, um, run into you two when I first came back to salem?

Xander: You remember that? That was when you still thought you were renee dumonde and you thought gwen was some other gwen from renee’s past.

Sarah: You were in love with her?

Xander: Sarah.

Sarah: No, no. You were engaged to another woman while I was languishing away on an island. That’s what you’re telling me?

Xander: Yes. That is what I’m telling you.

Allie: Hold on. “I choose me”? That is a line from that ’90s show you’re obsessed with.

Johnny: What show?

Allie: “Berly hills 90210.” She made me watch, like, 20 episodes with her last summer.

Chanel: Okay, so I quote the queen kelly taylor when I get stressed out. Sue me!

Johnny: The last thing I wanna do is stress you out.

Allie: Yeah. Look, it’s not what either one of us wants.

Chanel: Um, too late, twinsies.

Allie: Chanel, I know that this is hard.

Chanel: Hard is baking a croissant. But this is impossible. Being torn between two people is one thing, but between a man and a woman– but y’all are brother and sister. Twins!

Johnny: That–that shouldn’t haven’t any effect on your decision.

Allie: Yeah. Really, it shouldn’T. I mean, johnny and i both being possessed taught us– and I can’t believe that I’m saying this– but it taught us that our bond is unbreakable.

Johnny: Truth.

Allie: Okay, we might bicker and talk trash…

Johnny: And compete over everything from scrabble to mini-golf.

Allie: My brother is the one constant in my life.

Johnny: And she’s my ride or die.

Lucas: I wonder how sami would feel about you belittling allie like this.

Ej: I’m not in any way doing that. I’m just stating the obvious differences between our children. One twin has the blood of kings, conquerors, and captains of industry coursing through his veins. The other…

Lucas: I’d watch it. It’d watch what comes out of your mouth right now. Watch what you say.

Ej: The hortons are a perfectly lovely family full of doctors, donut makers, drunkards, grifters.

Lucas: You elitist jerk. You know what, I’d rather have horton blood coursing through my veins than dimera blood any day. And you know what, I know sami feels the same way. I’m sure of it.

Ej: And where is samantha anyway? Have you kidnapped her again?

Lucas: Not that it’s any of your business, but during our romantic ski getaway, she fell and broke her leg. She’s in the hospital.

Ej: Is she all right?

Lucas: She’s fine. She just can’t leave the italian alps. Doctors won’t let her.

Ej: Mm. Mm, no, of course not, no.

Lucas: What, do you think I’m making this up? You think I’m lying? I wouldn’t hurt her the way you do. I wouldn’t do that.

Ej: I was exonerated in samantha’s kidnapping. Someone framed me. But, of course, you know that, don’t you?

Lucas: Were you exonerated though? Really? Maybe the devil decided to dabble in a little corporate espionage, but that doesn’t make you innocent. No, no. I think satan… I think satan framed an already guilty man.

Belle: Yes, I have been spending some time with ej. He is my friend. And he is letting me use office space in his house.

John: So how do you think your sister would react to you getting close to her ex?

Belle: Yeah, well, she wasn’t too concerned about my feelings when she unleashed jan spears on my entire family.

John: Okay, so this is payback.

Belle: It’s unrelated. Besides, she’s with lucas now. She doesn’t have any claim on ej.

John: Oh, come on, sweetheart. You and I both know that samantha will always have a claim on ej.

Jan: I’ve read the intruder articles. They say your patients are dropping you left and right since the whole possession scandal got out.

Marlena: I would hardly call that a scandal.

Jan: I’m just saying. I thought you’d welcome new business.

Marlena: My loyal patients know that I was not responsible during that time.

Jan: Well, what about what happened to me and my actions while you were possessed?

Shawn: Jan, come on. We don’t need to do this.

Marlena: No, no, no. That’s all right. What did you want to say?

Jan: You woke me up from the coma to go after belle and shawn.

Marlena: You know I don’t remember that.

Jan: Right. The devil made you do it. Well, guess what, dr. Evans? You’re not the only one with demons.

Marlena: I suppose you mean that figuratively.

Jan: From the moment that paul mendez raped me, there has been a constant battle between good and evil in my head. That violation left me hopeless and angry. It robbed me of my faith in humanity. And it has affected every decision I’ve ever made since.

Marlena: I understand that. It still doesn’t give you the right or permission to hurt people.

Jan: I know. And I have to live with what I’ve done. I just want the same chance you gave to ben weston, the opportunity to prove that I can be a better person, not just for me but for this baby.

Shawn: Look, jan, you… you’ve done some really horrible things, especially to marlena’s daughter.

Jan: And I’m sorry about that. But doesn’t my innocent baby deserve the chance to have a mom who’s mentally healthy?

Marlena: Yes. It does. All right. I will see you in treatment.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Sarah: Tell me how it happened.

Xander: How what happened?

Sarah: How you fell in love with gwen.

Xander: Why does that matter?

Sarah: I need to know, xander.

Xander: All right. When I lost you, I lost hope. I…I was a drunken mess. If I–if I wasn’t at rock bottom, then I was very close. And jack was the only person who took pity on me. He gave me a place to stay and… gwen was staying there too.

Sarah: Close quarters.

Xander: Yeah. And we couldn’t stand each other at first. She was so impulsive and stubborn and her own worst enemy. And I don’t know, eventually we just came to realize that we were kindred spirits, fellow…pariahs. And jack was the only person in the whole town that believed in either of us.

Sarah: So your feelings for her must have been strong.

Xander: I came to realize, in your absence– and sure that you wanted nothing more to do with me– that gwen was the person I was meant to be with.

Sarah: [Sniffles] Okay, so…you said you were engaged, then, um… what happened? Did one of you call it off or–

Xander: Actually, we made it all the way to the altar.

Sarah: So why didn’t you get married?

Xander: Because I found out what she did. To you.

Chanel: Look, I’m glad you guys are solid, but I still need time to figure out who and what I want for my life.

Allie: I understand.

Johnny: Take your time.

Chanel: All right, I–i should get back to the bakery. I need to close up, so–

Allie: Hey, um, speaking of sweet bits, could I at least get an answer on if I can have my job back?

Chanel: You can start back in the morning.

Allie: Yeah?

Chanel: It’s not sweet bits without you.

Allie: Okay.

Chanel: All right. See you in the morning. Good night, giovanni.

Johnny: Night, chanel. Well played.

Allie: What are you talking about?

Johnny: You’re back in the bakery, which means you’re spending all day with the woman that we’re both crazy about.

Allie: I’m back at the bakery because I love my job.

Johnny: You love chanel.

Allie: I thought we were not gonna let her get between us.

Johnny: And how do you suppose we do that?

Allie: Well, how about we start by heading over to the pub and splitting a plate of fries, all right, like we did when we were kids?

Johnny: Extra crispy?

Allie: Always.

Johnny: I could go for that.

Allie: Okay.

Jan: Thank you. Thank you, thank you, dr. Evans. You have no idea how much this means to me.

Shawn: Yes, thank you, marlena.

Marlena: Let me be very clear about something. This therapy is only on a trial basis. The moment I have any suspicion that you’re up to your old tricks or that you’re not taking it seriously, the sessions will end.

Jan: Understood. So should we get started?

Shawn: Jan, what are you doing?

Jan: Diving in. So how does this work? Do I just tell you about my childhood?

Marlena: I think we’ll start tomorrow.

Jan: Oh, okay. That works.

Marlena: Okay. I will see you then.

Jan: You won’t regret this.

Marlena: I really hope not.

Shawn: Here, I’ll walk you out. Thank you. Thank you for again for doing this. I know that this–that this wasn’t an easy decision for you.

Marlena: Will not be easy to tell belle that I’m doing it either.

Belle: Dad, for the last time, sami does not have anything to do with my connection to ej.

John: Mmm, I wouldn’t be so sure about that, kid. You see ej and sami are forever intertwined.

Belle: So you think that he’s not over her?

John: I think that ej has a huge ego. And your big sister throwing him over for lucas had to hurt like hell.

Belle: What are you saying?

John: Well, I’m saying that what better way to get back at samantha than for ej to start sniffing around her baby sister?

Lucas: It’s funny ’cause one of the guys who was holding sami said that you were the orchestrator of sami’s abduction.

Ej: That’s because you put him up to it.

Lucas: We’re gonna do that again, that old song and dance, really? It’s getting old.

Ej: You obviously paid him off, you bottom-feeding little weasel.

Lucas: I’ve about had enough of your mouth for one night.

Ej: Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it, loser?

Lucas: Loser? What am i gonna–I’ll show you what I’m gonna do about it. With relapsing forms of ms,

Allie: Oh, my god! Dad! Ej!

Johnny: Hey, what the hell is going on?!

Allie: Hey, hey!

[Ej groans]

Ej: You’ll pay for that cheap shot!

Lucas: Any time, you arrogant bastard! Let him go, johnny! Let him go. Come on. Come on.

Allie: Dad, that’s enough!

Johnny: Stop it! Both of you!

Allie: All right–rain check on the fries?

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, dad. Let’s go.

Ej: This isn’t over!

Lucas: Good! You know where to find me any time, big guy! Any time!

Allie: Hey, have you lost your mind?

Belle: You know that’s offensive, right?

John: I’m not worried about offending ej.

Belle: I mean to me.

John: What did I say?

Belle: You just suggested that a man like ej couldn’t be interested in me unless he was trying to get back at his ex.

John: Oh, no, no, no. Come on, you know that’s not what I meant.

Belle: Then what did you mean?

Marlena: Well, it looks like I got here just in time.

Belle: Yeah. Just in time to tell your husband he’s being totally insensitive.

Marlena: What’s going on?

John: No, no. She’s upset because I just merely suggested that maybe ej’s trying to get close to her as a way to stick it to sami.

Marlena: Oh, I see.

Belle: Yeah, well, he didn’t just “suggest” it. He just proclaimed it as the gospel truth.

Marlena: Well, it seems to me that…

Belle: That would be offensive?

Marlena: Well, I was actually going to agree with you and say that it was pretty insensitive.

John: What do you say we change the subject here? How was your day, dear?

Marlena: Well, it’s been slightly stressful. But after consideration, I have come to the opinion that it is best for everyone, especially for shawn, if I go ahead and treat jan spears.

Sarah: So your fiancée at the time knew what kristen did to me?

Xander: Yes.

Sarah: And then she made sure that I got a double dose of the same drug?

Xander: She did. But then abigail exposed her at the wedding.

Sarah: That must have been quite a scene. And where’s gwen now?

Xander: She pled guilty and they sent her to statesville.

Sarah: Oh. You really know how to pick ’em.

Xander: I’m so sorry, sarah. If I’d known what she was up to… but the important thing is that you and I found our way back to each other, right? That’s what matters.

Sarah: Of course.

Xander: Hey. Why don’t we go see your mom? Maggie hasn’t heard the good news that we’re back together.

Sarah: Yeah. That would make her really happy.

Xander: So we’re okay?

Sarah: I’m still trying to… wrap my head around what you just told me that you were engaged to someone else while I was gone. But, um, yeah. Yeah, we’re okay. I should be grateful that you and gwen didn’t actually tie the knot, so….

Belle: You’re treating jan?

Marlena: Belle, before you get yourself all worked up–

Belle: How could you, mom? How could you treat the woman who amongst many other horrible offenses just pretended to be me and got knocked up by my husband?

John: Hey, keep it down.

Belle: Answer the question!

Marlena: All right. The reason that I’m treating jan is because I… I feel party responsible for what she did.

Belle: You did not wake her up from that coma.

John: Just try to see it from her perspective.

Belle: No! I’m so sick of being the reasonable one here when all you care about is sami. And now mom wants to take on jan spears as her new–new rehab-a-psycho pet project.

Marlena: That’s not fair.

Belle: Screw fair! What has fair ever gotten me?

John: Tink–

Belle: You what it’s gotten me? It’s gotten me my stalker living in my house. And now she’s pregnant by my husband. And now she’s gonna be all healed by my own mother. Well, here’s an idea. Why don’t you two just go all the way and adopt jan since you feel so responsible for her?

Marlena: Oh, belle, please–

Belle: You know what, actually, I think that’s a brilliant idea. She can be your new daughter. And then–then you’ll have your own new grandbaby. Oh, won’t that be so fun? I’m done!

John: No, no, no. You’re not going. No, give me your key. Give me–you’ve drank too much.

Belle: Fine. I’ll get a cab. Tell sami and jan I said hey.

Marlena: I don’t know what happened.

[Ice clattering]

Johnny: You barely said a word on the ride home.

Ej: What’s to say?

Johnny: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe you could explain why you and lucas were pummeling each other in front of grandpa’s restaurant?

Ej: It’s nothing for you to concern yourself over, son.

Johnny: So it was about mom.

Ej: As I just said, it’s not your concern. I want to hear how things went with you and your young lady.

Johnny: Me and chanel?

Ej: Of course. How soon before I have to put down the black card to pay for your second wedding?

From prom dresses We have to get going, so–

Chanel: Xander, hey!

Xander: Hey.

Chanel: And you must be sarah.

Sarah: I am. [Giggles]

Chanel: I see you managed to win her back without my help.

Xander: Yep. Actually, we have to get going, so–

Sarah: Do I–do I know you?

Xander: This is–sarah, this is–

Chanel: Chanel. Like the luxury brand. Chanel dupree.

Sarah: Oh, right. It’s nice to meet you.

Chanel: I’m xander’s ex-wife. Though don’t worry, it was very brief and pretty meaningless.

Sarah: Ex-wife?

Chanel: Oh, man. You didn’t tell her?

Sarah: No. He didn’T. He didn’t say a word.

Lucas: Ow.

Allie: Grandpa had this in the freezer.

Lucas: I don’t need ice.

Allie: Your hand’s gonna swell.

Lucas: Fine, I’ll take it. I’m sorry that you and johnny had to see that. I am.

Allie: Yeah, well, I’m just happy that we got here before the two of you killed each other. I mean, what was that about anyway?

Lucas: Your mother, of course.

Allie: What about her?

Lucas: Ej thinks that I’m the one who kidnapped your mother. I mean, can you believe that, the nerve of that guy?

Johnny: [Sighs] Uh, hold off on the wedding planning for now.

Ej: Why? Did chanel say she doesn’t want you back?

Johnny: Not exactly, but… she said she needs time to think.

Ej: What’s to think about? You were both in love before the devil got involved.

Johnny: Look, chanel asked allie and me to give her space, and that’s what I’m gonna do.

[Door opens]

Ej: Just be careful, son. Don’t lose out on the woman you want out of some misguided sense of loyalty.

[Laughter on tv]

Shawn: Oh! Ha ha. I see you liked it.

Jan: Not so much, honestly. But wanted to prove how serious I am about taking care of our baby’s body while working on my own body and my soul too.

Shawn: I appreciate that.

Jan: Shawn, I know this is gonna sound pollyanna, but I really think that my therapy with dr. Evans is gonna make me a better person.

Shawn: Well, if anybody can help you, it’s marlena. So I’m gonna take these and put them in the kitchen, and I’m gonna head to bed.

Jan: Okay.

Shawn: All right, let me know if you need anything else, okay?

Jan: I will. Shawn… thank you for everything.

Shawn: Good night, jan.

Jan: You hear that, little one? Your mommy and daddy are getting closer. Once marlena gives me a clean bill of health, well… who knows what can happen?

Marlena: We shouldn’t have let belle go like that. I’m gonna call her.

John: Oh, no, no. What’s the point? She is an inebriated grown woman who obviously is upset with both of us right now.

Marlena: Then I’m going to cancel jan’s sessions.

John: Doc, don’t do that. Please. Just trust your instincts. A sane, healthy jan is better for all of us. And as far as our daughter goes, she’s tough, she’s strong. She’s gonna get through this.

Marlena: I hope you’re right.

Johnny: Uh, I’m gonna head upstairs. I got a friend from ucla that sent me a script he wants me to read, so…

Ej: Good night, son.

Johnny: Good night, dad.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: Belle.

Belle: Good night.

Ej: Are you all right?

Belle: Uh, no. I’m not.

Ej: What happened?

Belle: I just had a really big fight with my parents. Um…could I stay here tonight? In one of the guest rooms, I mean.

Ej: Of course you can. I’d love to have you.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Tripp: It was really great of you guys to check in. I’ll see you soon, I hope.

[Knock on door] Hey!

Chanel: Who were you talking to?

Tripp: My half-sister and brother.

Chanel: Oh, sorry to interrupt.

Tripp: No, that’s okay. We were just saying goodbye.

Chanel: Oh. Well, you know, I had to wait in line out there to say hi to the local hero.

Tripp: Oh, come on.

Chanel: Can you eat real food?

Tripp: Yes. Yes, but they don’t serve that her so…

Chanel: Well, I have come to the rescue.

Tripp: Would that be ham and cheese on a croissant?

Chanel: Would I bring you anything else?

Tripp: Okay, okay, you can stay. You can stay, but no pictures or autographs, please.

Chanel: Aw. I don’t care what you say– you really are a hero. Mine at least. You saved allie’s life. You gave henry his mom back. Gave me my best friend back.

Allie: Will!

Will: I leave you alone for five minutes and you get possessed by the devil?

Allie: Well, it got you to come visit, right?

Will: Okay. What was it like?

Allie: Actually, I don’t remember any of it. But I heard I was a total bitch to almost everyone.

Will: So it was like your teenage years,

Allie: Pretty close. Yeah.

Will: Yeah. Honestly, though, I-I was very scared for you and johnny, so… thank god you’re both okay.

Johnny: Was aunt belle just here? I thought I saw her driving off.

Ej: Hmm. I’m doing some legal work for her.

Johnny: Oh. You gonna be a practicing lawyer again?

Ej: Just doing belle a favor.

Johnny: Heard your takeover of the company tanked.

Ej: Hmm. Thanks to your aunt kristen, but I haven’t given up on running dimera enterprises.

Johnny: Well, let me know if you need any help.

Ej: I will. What’s with the laptop? Doing some writing?

Johnny: Yeah, that was the idea, but, uh, all the noise is kind of making it hard to concentrate.

Ej: What noise?

Johnny: You don’t wanna know.

Both: Ahh!

[Both laughing]

Chad: That was–

Abigail: I think making love means even more when you’re–

Chad: Making a baby?

Abigail: Yeah.

Chad: Think we did it?

Leo: Ooh, thanks for the tip, gwennie. I hope this means you’ve decided to help me get revenge against abigail. Fine. You keep thinking it over, but I am not letting this go. I am going to get back at every single person who broke up craig and me. I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life.

Sonny: What the hell are you planning now, you disgusting little creep?

Male announcer: Like sand through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Leo: Do you always eavesdrop on people’s personal phone calls?

Sonny: No, just the ones who slip me drugs and then send dummied up photos to the tabloids.

Leo: Those pictures were for real. You looked very happy and very satisfied.

Sonny: I look unconscious, which I was. Did you carry me to bed or did you drag me?

Leo: If you’re worried about will calling his lawyer, just tell him we didn’t go all the way.

Sonny: I know we didn’t because I was literally unconscious!

Leo: Maybe he’ll believe you, even if nobody else does.

Sonny: My lawyer is already in touch with the editor of “the intruder,” okay? I’m gonna do whatever it takes to set the record straight.

Leo: Good luck with that. Because these pictures are the talk of the town. Some people are even saying you might lose your job over them, which would be such a tragedy.

Allie: It was so sweet of you to come all the way here to check in on me.

Will: Well, it wasn’t just that. I’m–I’m dealing with the fallout from leo’s cookies.

Allie: Leo has cookies? Is he gonna open a rival bakery?

Will: You must be the only person in salem who hasn’t read “the intruder.”

Allie: No, I don’t read that rag.

Will: Okay. Well, forget I said anything.

Allie: No, come on, now you have to tell me.

Will: No, it’s just like… it’s another one of leo’s stupid stunts.

Allie: Oh, he’s still at it?

Will: Yeah, but, you know, we’re handling it and, um… I wanna–I’m here to talk about you. And I wanna hear about what happened. Are you sure you’re okay?

Allie: Physically, yeah. Mentally, um… it’s a lot to deal with.

Will: Mm.

Allie: You know, I heard i did some really awful stuff.

Will: Like what?

Allie: Um, I… chained johnny and ben up in the dimera family crypt. I kidnapped ciara, and she went into labor. So I delivered her baby and then went on the run with it.

Will: Um…wow, yeah that’s– that is pretty bad stuff, but, I mean, at least it wasn’t you, right? Did you talk to grandma?

Allie: She said what you said.

Will: Exactly, right? She would know. She went through it.

Allie: Still, it’s hard not to take responsibility. I mean, people are still hurting from everything I did. People I really care about, like chanel.

Tripp: Thanks for coming to see me again.

Chanel: Yeah, we didn’t really get a chance to talk the last time I was here.

Tripp: Yeah, it was a little crowded. It was like allie was the bachelorette and you and I were at the rose ceremony.

Chanel: Oh, it was not like that, and you know it.

Tripp: Kinda was…until johnny showed up at least.

Chanel: Johnny and I, uh… we ran into allie after you two had a chance to talk alone. She said you made it really clear that you weren’t getting back together.

Tripp: Yeah.

Chanel: But why? I know you love allie. Are you really ready to let her go? I was on an antidepressant,

Sonny: My uncle vick is still in charge at titan, and he’s backing me. So I don’t care what the, uh… “the rumor mill” says. My job is not in danger.

Leo: I couldn’t care less what happens to you now. I made a bundle off those pictures.

Sonny: Oh. It’s always about money for you, isn’t it?

Leo: You can be high and mighty–you’ve had money since you were born.

Sonny: Oh, my god, boo-hoo. I’ve heard this sob story before.

Leo: I wouldn’t have had to sell those photos if you and your friends had left craig and me alone! I’m on my own now because of you! And a girl’s gotta eat.

Sonny: That’s how you justify drugging me with laced cookies?

Leo: The note with the cookies said they were from your husband.

Sonny: Will just got back today–I know for a fact he has nothing to do with the fricking cookies!

Leo: So will is here already? How did he like the photos?

Will: So when the devil was running johnny, he told chanel he wanted a divorce…

Allie: At their wedding reception.

Will: And when the devil was running you, you…

Allie: Dumped chanel too. In the meanest way possible, according to her. So now do you see how I feel so bad about it?

Will: Yeah. I’m sorry–I didn’t even know you and chanel were dating. I mean, you told me you had feelings for her.

Allie: Yeah, well, I did a lot of thinking after our talk…

Will: Mm-hmm.

Allie: I don’t know. My life started to make a lot more sense once I realized I was bisexual. And I-I always thought I loved chanel as a friend, but now I realized I just loved her. Period.

Will: That’s great, allie.

Allie: It would be. If our brother wasn’t also in love with her.

Johnny: Chad and abigail… how do I say this delicately? They’ve been at it for a while.

Ej: [Chuckles] Well, now that our takeover plan has failed, I suppose chad’s turning his attention to his personal life.

Johnny: Easy for you to say. You don’t have the room next to theirs.

Ej: There are lots of other bedrooms in this house.

Johnny: And I’ll be moving into one of them. Otherwise, I’m not gonna get any sleep, let alone write.

Ej: Are you working on anything in particular?

Johnny: [Sighs] Well, now that my producer is dead, so is my movie about grandma, which is fine by me. I have a whole new perspective on devil possession.

Ej: Any new ideas?

Johnny: Yeah, mm-hmm, one that, uh…I mean, it’s pretty close to home.

Ej: May I know what it is?

Johnny: Why not? It’s about fraternal twins who are in love with the same girl.

Abigail: You know, if you really wanna be sure we made a baby–

Chad: Okay. Honey…mmm…I need a break. I need a break.

Abigail: Oh. Okay. What do you wanna do instead?

Chad: Well, if we’re gonna have another mouth to feed, I should probably start looking for a job.

Abigail: Yeah. I’m sorry that didn’t work out. I cannot believe kristen stabbed both of her brothers in the back.

Chad: Nothing she does surprises me anymore, especially after what she did to you and sarah.

Abigail: Well, I survived, and so did she–it looks like she’s going to anyway.

Chad: Mm-hmm.

Abigail: I’m just really glad that you and ej are getting along again.

Chad: Yeah. I, uh, I really didn’t like being on the outs with him.

Abigail: I mean, it wasn’t your fault. It seemed like he came back to town just trying to push everybody’s buttons. Mainly yours.

Chad: It wasn’t one-sided. I mean, I did some things I wasn’t proud of.

Abigail: Really? Like what?

Kate: Hey. Is roman babysitting henry?

Lucas: Yeah. They’re video chatting with sami right now.

Kate: Oh, great. So she has better reception, I guess, huh? Did she say when she’s gonna be able to fly back?

Lucas: No, mom. Not yet. The break is-is very bad.

Kate: Yeah, I heard.

Lucas: You know what–

Kate: W-what are you doing?

Lucas: Now that we’re alone, I think it’s time–I think it’s time. I want my apology.

Kate: [Exhales] For what?

Lucas: For accusing me of kidnapping the mother of my children. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Chad: I, uh…you know, I’m the one that testified against ej. So I’m basically the one that sent him to prison.

Abigail: Yeah, but, honey, you were under oath. You didn’t have a choice but to tell the truth.

Chad: Yeah, but I was wrong.

Abigail: Yeah, but at that point you thought you had proof that he was guilty.

Chad: Right.

Abigail: And the man–he was in your face all the time.

Chad: The important thing is that, um… him and I, we’re on the same side now. I mean, he’s a completely different person since he got out of prison.

Abigail: I do wonder though…

Chad: Okay. Come on, I can see those wheels turning. What?

Abigail: Well, the kidnapping. I wanna believe that ej’s innocent. But if he didn’t kidnap sami, then who did?

Chad: I don’t know. Guess we’ll never know.

Abigail: Not necessarily.

Chad: What do you mean?

Abigail: I think I just found “the spectator’s” next investigative report. I’m gonna find out who kidnapped sami brady.

Kate: Darling, why wouldn’t i accuse you of kidnapping sami since you had already done it once?

Lucas: I regret it, okay? And I’m never gonna do it again.

Kate: Hah. Well, I can’t believe you went to that extreme in the first place.

Lucas: It wasn’t my proudest moment, all right? I think about it every day. I regret it, I do. But a lot of good has come out of it, because now sami wants nothing to do with ej. And we have never been closer.

Kate: Okay. Does she know that he’s been released from prison?

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah, she does.

Kate: Okay. So she knows he’s innocent.

Lucas: Not exactly.

Kate: Oh, my god. Okay. So what does that mean?

Lucas: Well, you know, it took a little doing, but, uh, sami still thinks that ej is guilty as hell.

Kate: Oh, my god.

Ej: But you and chanel were married. You were in love.

Johnny: Yeah, I thought so.

Ej: And I thought allie and chanel were just friends.

Johnny: Before I was even in the picture, I think they’d begun to figure out they’re more than that.

Ej: Have they–

Johnny: Yeah.

Ej: Oh, I see.

Johnny: Your step-daughter’s bisexual, dad.

Ej: Right. Right. And so is chanel?

Johnny: [Inhales, exhales] Let’s just say that if she had to pick between the two of us right now, I don’t know if she’d choose allie or me.

Tripp: You’re right, I do still love allie. I mean, you don’t do a header through a stained glass window for someone you feel lukewarm about.

Chanel: Okay, then–then why did you tell her that you don’t wanna get back together?

Tripp: Because if I told allie that I wanted to start over, she’d say that she did too.

Chanel: And the problem with that is?

Tripp: I would never know if I’m the one she really wants or if she just feels obligated.

Chanel: Trying to be fair here. She does love you.

Tripp: Maybe. And maybe we’d be happy for a while, but… in the end, I know it wouldn’t work out.

Chanel: Why?

Tripp: I know for sure that I want to spend the rest of my life with allie, but only if allie knows for sure that she wants it too. And how can she know that? The love of her life is… it’s you.

Allie: You know, the worst part is we all thought johnny was being not just a jerk–

Will: Yeah. I mean, I thought he went from being like my cocky younger brother to a sadistic bastard.

Allie: Yeah, everyone did. I mean, you should have seen the things that he said to chanel in front of their families. You should have seen the way he talked to me. I mean, right after tripp proposed, johnny strolled in and told him that I slept with chanel.

Will: Is that what happened?

Allie: When the devil was done with johnny and johnny came back to his senses, he thought that everything could just go back to normal, that he could be happily in love and married to chanel.

Will: Yeah. Wow, that… that is a huge mess.

Allie: Tell me about it.

Will: So the only person in your quadrangle that the devil didn’t mess with is chanel?

Allie: Not directly anyway.

Will: Okay. And who does chanel wanna be with?

Allie: I don’t know. I mean, she kind of got bounced all around, so I’ve just been giving her space. I don’t think she even knows how I feel.

Will: Then maybe you should tell her.

Allie: Well, there is also another option. I could let her go.

Leo: I hope will isn’t too upset.

Sonny: Oh, bull! You would love that!

Leo: We both know he’s not one to point the finger. As I recall, he’s cheated on you more than once. Turnabout is fair play.

Sonny: Will knows I didn’t cheat on him, and the whole world’s about to know. ‘Cause I reported you to the cops.

Leo: [Fake gasp] Really? No messages from them yet.

Sonny: Mm. That’s ’cause I haven’t gotten my test results back yet.

Leo: What test results?

Sonny: Oh, the blood tests I took this morning. The one that will prove that you drugged me.

[Phone rings] Speaking of, there’s my aunt kayla, the one who administered the blood test this morning. Yeah, you might wanna stay there. You’re gonna wanna hear this. Okay, snacks and popcorn are gonna be expensive.

Sonny: Wait. But I–but i thought that– are you sure? Okay. Thank you. Bye.

Leo: Well? What did the good doctor have to say?

Sonny: What the hell did you do to me?

Leo: I hesitate to be specific here in public.

Sonny: Kayla said that there are drugs that can leave your system very quickly. That’s–that’s what you gave me, isn’t it?

Leo: Is this your cute little way of telling me she didn’t find anything?

Sonny: You drugged me, and I know it!

Leo: You might wanna stop saying that–you don’t have any proof. I think that’s called slander. Or is it libel? I always get those two mixed up.

Sonny: Libel is when you put lies into print, and that’s exactly what you did!

Leo: It’s not a lie, babe, and we both know it. You’re a cheating slimeball. Poor will and little arianna–

Sonny: Keep my daughter’s name out of your filthy mouth!

Leo: You didn’t think it was so filthy last night. Or maybe you did.

Sonny: You know what? Go for it, leo. You wanna get rolled back in a rug again? Keep saying garbage like that.

Kate: Lucas, ej is out of prison. So…how did you manage to convince sami that he’s her kidnapper?

Lucas: Well, ej wasn’t found innocent. They just threw the case out.

Kate: Yeah, but what difference does that make?

Lucas: Well, you know, the payments that were sent to the kidnapper that were found in ej’s computer might’ve been there–

Kate: Yeah. Yeah. Because you put them there.

Lucas: Right. Right. But all the other evidence points at ej 100%.

Kate: Lucas, what evidence?

Lucas: Motive. Ej was really upset when sami cheated on him. He was in a rage. He was going crazy. He wanted to kick her out of the house. He would do anything to get her back. And means. We all know the means. You know, the guard who was watching sami said that ej was the boss. So, you know, why would he lie about that?

Kate: Because you ordered him to–that’s why.

Lucas: Yeah, but sami doesn’t know that. And she never will.

Kate: But chad knows. Chad knows that you planted the phony evidence. So what if he decides to tell the truth?

Lucas: No, he won’T. He’s never gonna say anything. He wouldn’t, would he?

Kate: Ohh…

Abigail: I don’t know why i didn’t think about this before. If I can figure out who kidnapped sami brady, our circulation is gonna double. I mean, everybody in the area wants to know what happened.

Chad: Abby–

Abigail: I could get us into one of those true crime podcasts–I have been dying to get us into that market.

Chad: Shouldn’t you ask your mom–your mom and dad first?

Abigail: Why?

Chad: “Why?” They still own the newspaper, don’t they?

Abigail: Yeah, but they left me in charge because they trust me. Besides, it’s a great idea.

Chad: Sure. The cops have probably exhausted all their leads, though.

Abigail: I don’t know. I’m gonna start looking for new sources tomorrow, and maybe I’ll find something new.

Chad: Like what?

Abigail: Like the second kidnapper. They never tracked him down, right? I mean, that is a huge loose end!

Chad: The kidnapping happened six months ago. I’m sure the trail’s gone cold already.

Abigail: Well, it’s worth a shot. Besides, what if it clears ej’s name? Then shin’s gonna be back on his side.

Chad: But honey, ej’s already been cleared.

Abigail: His conviction was overturned–it’s not the same.

Chad: You know, ej’s fine to move past all of this. I mean, don’t you think that you should ask him if it’s okay to do a story?

Abigail: I don’t– I don’t get you right now. Why are you so against this?

Ej: Have you spoken to chanel?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, I even, uh, I even asked her to marry me again.

Ej: And?

Johnny: She said she needed time, which I get. She’s still dealing with the idea that I never stopped loving her, that I didn’t break up with her, but neither did allie. Plus, there’s this small problem of paulina being in jail for killing tr.

Ej: Mm. She does have quite a bit to deal with.

Johnny: Yeah. So I told her to take all the time she needs.

Ej: Why would you do a thing like that?

Chanel: Tripp, I’M… sorry.

Tripp: You don’t have a damn thing to be sorry about. It’s not your fault that you’re sort of, you know, irresistible.

Chanel: “Irresistible”? Don’t give me that. I didn’t set out to steal allie away from you.

Tripp: But you have years of history as friends. And now… you know, you’re more. I can’t compete with that. And, honestly, I shouldn’t have to. And that’s why I shut down us getting back together.

Chanel: Couldn’t have been easy.

Tripp: Well, one thing I’ve learned about the devil in all this is that the guy’s good. He knows exactly what to say to make you do whatever he wants. And when I told him to take me instead of allie, he pointed out that I was… always her second choice. I’ve decided I’m okay with it.

Chanel: What? Why?

Tripp: Because I love her enough to want her to have a long and happy life. Whether I’m part of it or not.

Chanel: Do you really mean that?

Tripp: You and allie want to be together. You’re not gonna get any flak from me. I’m in your corner.

Chanel: I…I don’t know what to say. I don’t even know if allie wants us to get back together.

Tripp: I’m pretty sure she does. So I guess now it’s just up to you to decide if that’s what you want. With depression, you just feel…blah.

Leo: Careful, jackson. People are starting to stare. Somebody might snap a phone photo and sell our lovers’ quarrel to the “the intruder.”

Sonny: You’re not gonna get away with this.

Leo: Kinda feels like I already have.

Sonny: If you ever come near me or my family again, I will end you.

Leo: Save your threats, tough guy. I’m gonna focus my energy elsewhere.

Sonny: What the hell does that mean?

Leo: Like I’m gonna confide in you? Let’s just say I’m not done with this town yet.

Will: Why would you give up on chanel? You just told me that you love her.

Allie: I do, but I also love johnny. And I don’t– I don’t wanna hurt him. Jonny and I have been on the outs for a long time now, and this whole situation made us realize that we still really love each other.

Will: I mean, that’s great.

Allie: Yeah, it is.

Will: But does that mean you should sacrifice your own happiness just so johnny can get what he wants?

Allie: You didn’t see johnny and chanel together, okay? They were crazy about each other, and they probably still would be if it wasn’t for… you know. And chanel and I never would have been together.

Will: Well, but you were, right? And, from what you tell me, it was real. So don’t just pretend that it didn’t happen.

Allie: Oh, I don’t know, this is all so confusing.

Will: Yeah, I know. It’s confusing. I-I know the feeling. I was confused. I slept with gabi to prove to myself that I was straight and all it did was, you know, convince me that I was gay. And I got her pregnant.

Allie: Yeah, but you got arianna, and you guys worked it out.

Will: Yeah. But a lot of bad things happened, mostly to gabi, because I was too afraid to go after what I wanted. And I feel for johnny, right? It’s not his fault that his marriage blew up, but that does not mean you just need to step aside. I think it might be best for everyone, for johnny and chanel, if you’re just–you’re just honest.

Allie: Really?

Will: Yeah. Don’t you think chanel deserves to know the facts before she decides what she wants to do with her life?

Chanel: To be dead honest, I don’t know what I want. I used to wish that I had never met allie and johnny. I felt they both played me for a fool. And then I find out that it’s the damn devil!

Tripp: I hear you. It’s unreal.

Chanel: I just… god, we all got played. Allie and johnny never meant to hurt me. I’m so, so confused.

Tripp: I can see why.

Chanel: It’s a huge mess. I was in love with both of them. And–and then I–now, I just–I don’t know who I should be with. Maybe I should just walk away from the whole thing.

Tripp: You could also just give yourself a little time.

Chanel: Yeah, that’s what I told johnny when he said he wanted us to get remarried.

Tripp: Wait, he proposed?

Chanel: He wants us to pick up right where we left off, but I said that I wasn’t ready to make any decisions right now. And so he backed off, and I guess he won’t be putting on the pressure, thank god.

Ej: If you truly love chanel, you can’t just sit back and wait and hope things go your way. You have to fight for her.

Johnny: She’s been through hell, dad.

Ej: It’s not your fault.

Johnny: I’m just trying to think about what she needs.

Ej: And while you’re thinking about what she needs, your sister could be trying to fight and win her back. Is that what you want?

Johnny: Why are you telling me to go after chanel, and when I told you I’d married her, you said she was just after my money?

Ej: I may have judged her too harshly.

Johnny: You did.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: What made you change your mind?

Ej: When we rescued you that night, I realized how close I was to losing you. I haven’t been the best father to you lately. I’ve gotten a lot of things wrong. I was too focused on what I wanted for you rather than listening to what you wanted for yourself. If you want chanel, you have my full support. I must say, she’s conducted herself with dignity throughout this whole painful ordeal.

Johnny: Well…thank you for saying all that. But I still think I should back off for a while.

Ej: If I may say one more thing. I have many regrets in my life. And one of the biggest ones right now is not fighting for your mother.

Johnny: Well, I’m surprised to hear you say that.

Ej: We both know I spent years pushing her away. And now she’s with lucas. I don’t want you to live with the same regret. If you truly love chanel, do whatever it takes to be with her. Otherwise, you’ll end up like your old man.

Johnny: Maybe you’re right. Maybe I should fight for her. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Chanel: The last thing you need right now is me unloading my problems on you.

Tripp: Well, if you remember, I asked you how you were doing.

Chanel: I know it hurt you to tell allie it’s over. I know it’s not what you want. It’s because of me. Are we…okay?

Tripp: We’re good. I promise.

Chanel: I’m glad. Being friends with you, it means a lot to me. I haven’t had someone like you in my life in a long time. If you need to lean on me, you go ahead.

Tripp: I feel the same way. We will always be friends. Don’t worry. As long as you keep feeding me, of course.

Will: I should go. But you should take my advice.

Allie: I’ll think about it.

Will: You are so stubborn.

Allie: Okay, well, you’re no pushover yourself.

Will: Well, I guess it runs in the family.

Allie: Yeah. Hey, speaking of family, have you seen dad?

Will: No, is he in town?

Allie: Yeah.

Will: Is he with mom?

Allie: No. I guess she broke her leg skiing, so she can’t fly yet.

Will: Can you believe those two are back together?

Allie: I know.

Will: I mean, they used to fight like cats and dogs.

Allie: It’s crazy. But, hopefully, they’ve learned how to treat each other better, you know? No more plotting. No more secrets.

Will: Yeah. Well, we’ll see how long that lasts.

Allie: Yeah.

Lucas: Chad’s really thinking about ratting me out?

Kate: Well, I mean, he says that he’s going to keep your name out of it, that he’s planning on taking the blame for planting the phony evidence.

Lucas: Okay.

Kate: But the thing is you know ej is going to have a lot of questions.

Lucas: So you think chad will be willing to stir up a little trouble?

Kate: Well, he said that ej is a changed man. Since he got back from prison, the two of them actually made peace. And now I think that, for chad, the guilt is really weighing on him, you know?

Lucas: Oh, great. Just what I need.

Kate: Oh, yeah, principled persons–they’re really a pain, aren’t they? But, trust me, I think I convinced him to keep his mouth shut.

Lucas: Wait a minute, you think you did or you know you did? Did you get through to him or not?

Kate: I told him that ej would be furious. I told him that the reconciliation would be history, and also that he would be admitting he planted the phony evidence, and also that he perjured himself, so…

Lucas: Right. Right. He’d be looking at jail time too, right?

Kate: Right. I think he knows it’s not worth what he’d get for clearing his conscience.

Lucas: So it sounds to me like I’m good, like I’m in the clear, like I got nothing to worry about.

Kate: I think so, honey. For now. But do you really think you’re going to be able to keep a secret like this from a nosy woman like sami?

Chad: I just don’t think it’s safe for you to be hunting down some clown who kidnaps women for money.

Abigail: I’m not stupid. I know how to be careful.

Chad: Yeah, but you have to–you have to say that you’re a reporter when you’re asking questions, right? What if that gets back to the wrong person?

Abigail: Why are you borrowing trouble?

Chad: Because I saw what happened when you started looking into sarah’s disappearance–I could’ve lost you.

Abigail: But you didn’T. Everything turned out okay.

Chad: We got lucky.

Abigail: Look, for a story this big, I’m gonna have to take some risks.

Chad: Even if it turns out that you’re–that you could be pregnant? Fishing helps ease my mind.

Will: I can’t believe the drugs were already out of your system.

Sonny: And the cookies are gone too, so there’s no way to actually prove that leo drugged me.

Will: I am so sorry. I hate that guy so much.

Sonny: Yeah, me too. It took everything inside of me not to just deck the guy.

Will: Do you think he’ll try something else?

Sonny: I don’t know. He said something about focusing his energy elsewhere.

Will: Yeah. I wonder what that’s about.

Sonny: I don’t know. But I don’t like it.

[Edgy music]

Leo: Guess what. Uncle leo has a big surprise for the two of you.

Abigail: Okay. Well, now you’re not fighting fair.

Chad: Why? Because I’m trying to proct you and the baby that you may be carrying?

Abigail: I’m probably not even pregnant.

Chad: Well, I can tell you one thing. I am ready to put my shoulder to the wheel…and we will not give up until I put a baby inside of you.

Abigail: You’re just trying to change the subject.

Chad: Is it working?

Abigail: You know it is. But just for now.

Lucas: You know I feel rotten about what I did to sami. And if she finds out, she’d hate me.

Kate: Forever.

Lucas: Yeah, I know forever. That’s why I gotta live this lie for a while.

Kate: [Whispers] Oh, my god. Lucas, please, you know these secrets have a way of coming out. You know that.

Lucas: Don’t do that to me. Now you’re stressing me out. Thanks a lot. Now I need some air.

[Dark chords]

Allie: Hey, dupree.

Chanel: Horton. What are you doing here?

Allie: I was told that the devil quit my job, and I was hoping that you would take me back.

Chanel: You mean at the bakery, right?

Allie: Um… not just at the bakery. Chanel, I-I wanna get back together.

Johnny: [Ahem]
