THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You know what I was thinking? I was thinking we have one of those beautiful chocolate fountains. Oh. And for the first dance. How about that Amazing Ed Shean song shape of you. It’s my favorite. Anyway. Hey. Hello. Sorry, I, uh, stop thinking about ej. Yeah, well I was trying to distract you, but I guess it didn’t work.

It’s strange how he just disappeared. You think he’s trying to make some kind of end run behind her back? Highly likely. Look, EJ is always up. Something sketchy, as you won’t know. In fact, we should probably be using this time to plan our counter attack. Such as? Such as using his curious absence to make inroads with Megan.

You know, when I ran into her earlier, she said she was still considering our proposal to team up. Oh yeah. It’ll be like gates and Jobs all over again. You don’t believe her, huh? Are you? You leave her Stephan. Are you kidding me? Your sister’s as subtle as a shark attack. Is it not ridiculously obvious that she has her own agenda?

So Lee, have you touched base with the good Dr. Rolfe? Well hurry up. It’s not like we can hire a cruise ship hypnotist to Brainwash Commander Michaels. Now, can we. No, I haven’t decided yet exactly when and where or how, but just that my brother Stephan’s extinction needs to take place at exactly the right time.

Look, stop worrying. Kristen and AJ are locked away nicely. Some tight in the secret room downstairs. There’s absolutely no way they can sabotage.

How’s big mama holding up? Oh, she’s fine now. She’s just taking a little lie down. She’s bone tired from a trip. Yeah, she was saying it was a rough life across the turbulence. Not to mention that she hates flying no matter what the. Well bless her heart for making the effort to come all this way. Yeah, she sure surprised me.

I had no idea she was coming, but you know, maybe it’s a good thing. Maybe it’s good that she’s resting cuz I sure don’t like the idea. Fold the pieces right in front of her. I’m not sure how much I can even hold it all together. Mama, we’re all here for you, Paulina. Oh, I know. And we are all praying for Abraham Darling.

I know. I appreciate that. I know you are. I know you are. Uh, but it’s just that. The longer he’s missing with no, you know, no word from and no way to reach him. Where, where, where God’s name could he be?

Why would you say such a thing of, of course, I’m your wife. Are you feeling discombobulated? Do you wanna rest a little while? I feel perfectly fine except for the fact that you have been lying through your teeth. Darling, why would you say such a thing? I just had a memory from the wedding jumping the broom with the bride in that bride.

Definitely wasn’t. You

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

Leah have to go.

Who the hell are you? I’m Leo Stark, also known by my adoring fans. This lady whistleblower. And you must be Megan Hathaway, also known as Megan Demara. What were you doing in my tunnels? Well, I was going to take the front door, but I knew Harold would never be so kind as to let me in, so I came the back way.

Well, I hope you haven’t helped yourself to our valuable wine collection while you’re down there. I’m more of a banana daiquiri kind of guy, so no, I came straight up to see you. Me the poor. Well, there is a lovely British reporter named Gwen Rizek, who happens to be my best friend, and I happen to know that you and your dastardly son are using her as a pawn in some sort of evil scheme.

But I have news for you, Megan Hathaway, or Demira, or whatever the hell you’re calling yourself these days. You are not going to get away with it. Not if Leo Stark has anything to say about it.

And, um, Hmm. How exactly did this happen? Uh, well, I distinctly remember you kissing me and then.

I’m so sorry, Glen. I hate to do this, but, um, I’ve been waiting on this, this business text.

Is it important? Seeing your beautiful eyes and having just felt your lips on,

I just can help. I

I didn’t take it to four.

No, no. I would’ve let you know if. Obviously the feelings were regretted,

but this, this can’t happen again.

Thank you so much, Julie, for stopping by, for bringing my darling son-in-law with you. I want you to know that Doug and I are standing by for you anytime, anything you need. I appreciate that. And Eli, I want you to know that I sleep, you know, better at night for a little, a little better anyway, knowing that you’re on the case.

Yeah. I told Lonnie that we’d find a, and I don’t intend on letting her down. Oh, thank you so much for taking care of my baby girl. I know, I know. How hard things have been over the past year for you both. Yeah, it’s, it’s definitely been tough. The twins and I, we hate being separated from Lonnie, but. Well, we’re managing as best as we can.

Mm. So sorry that the situation just pulled you away from my precious little jewels and carver. No, it’s okay. I can use the break. Oh, I’m no, but look, I, I don’t intend on being here too long. Like I said, we’re gonna find Abe no matter what it takes. Oh, oh, oh.

Well, if it wasn’t me, sweetheart, then who was it? It was that woman, the one from my dream. You and your dream girl. You know what? What was it? Was it Shirley, Ralph, or are we talking Beyonce? Neither? Well, I don’t know who’s making guest appearances in these dreams of yours, but clearly you are mixing things up.

It wasn’t a dream. I am telling you. It was memory darling. Dreams and memories. You just, they’re all the same thing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This was, this was vivid.

I was wary that light blue suit and the bride, bride was wearing a gold dress with, uh, With a black floral pattern. Yes, exactly. That was what I was wearing. But it wasn’t you. Oh, Abraham sweetheart. Of course it was me. Prove it. What? How am I gonna prove it? I don’t. Show me a picture of our wedding.

But Abraham, you saw our wedding photo. My daughter Chanel showed it to you at the hospital, remember? But I had just woken up from surgery and everything was, everything was fuzzy, and that image was pretty hazy. I wanna see it again. Well, I don’t have it on my phone. Just not enough gigabytes at the moment.

So, but we don’t, we don’t have a, a photo album with a wedding around here somewhere. We don’t. It was destroyed. What, how Yeah. And, and a fire. Oh, all of our precious memories just went poof up in smoke. Just like that. You’re telling me that there isn’t a, a single photo left from our wedding? Sadly, no. I’m not a single one.

You know, something’s not right here.

Sophia, tell me about the Juneteenth celebration. Well, everybody was asking about Dad. Oh yeah. They’re all very worried about him. Of course they are. Your dad touched on so many people’s lives. I’m, I’m so glad. I’m proud that you were there to represent him and the family. I wish I could have been there too, but you know, I, I, I just was in no shape to go.

Yeah. Julie said you gave a speech. Darn. My dad was supposed to give. Well, I was surprised to hear, I know how much you hate public speaking. I do, but, um, uncle Chad convinced me to do it. I just hope I didn’t embarrass myself too much. Oh, I’m sure. I’m sure you were wonderful baby. And your father, when he comes home, he be, his heart will be so full hearing that you, you filled in for him.

I hope so. Mm-hmm. Oh, and. I almost forgot. Um, there was this older woman who came up to me after the speech, big supporter of dad’s. She wanted to give me this, she, uh, intended to give it to you too as an anniversary gift, but um, she made it herself. Oh, wow. Kind of her beautiful. She said that I don’t give you strength.

And remind you that no matter how bleak things may seem, never give up hope

or Paulina. She can barely hold it together. Well, that’s understandable. It’s one thing not to be with the person you love, but not to know if they’re dead or alive. I just wish there was more we can do to help her. Oh, you and me both seeing Paulina like this, it just. Breaks my heart. I. I think you mean my heart

evil scheme? I don’t know. I have a clue what you’re talking about. Oh, don’t you play innocent with me, lady. You and I both know that you are using my best friend to launder, your son Dimitri’s soiled reputation that he’s using some kind of hot guy, black magic to manipulate Gwen into writing these glowing pieces about him in the Spectator.

Oh. Is that what you think? I don’t think I know. Look, Mr. Whistleblower, I’ll admit that. I was delighted with your friends ride up onto Dimitri what mother wouldn’t be. People seem to have gotten the wrong idea about him. They think he’s some kind of a monster. He is. He’s like a Bootylicious Voldemort.

Well, I would suspect that your friend Gwen wouldn’t agree with you because he has cast a spell on her hell. It’d probably work on me too. There’s no spell, I assure you. My son is just naturally charismatic and charming. You can’t hold that against him. I can if he uses that charm and charisma to lure my unsuspecting friend into his web of deceit.

Your cynicism is disconcerting, Mr. Stark, not to mention that you’ve got it all wrong. You see Demitri actually enjoyed speaking with the charming Ms. Rizek, and he hopes to spend more time with her in the future. I assure you there’s no hidden agenda.

I, I don’t, I don’t understand. Why can’t it happen again?

Well, um, You and I talked about doing, doing some follow up interviews. Yes. Mm-hmm. And, uh, though I didn’t go to journalism school, I reckon that shagging, your interview subject isn’t really something that you bubbling on a pop quiz, you know? Yeah. No, I’ve probably not. No, I’ve never really been bothered by ethical boundaries myself.

If it is a problem for you, Well, I think I might have an easy solution. No, what’s that? Well, how about we end a professional relationship immediately and pursue a personal one instead.

So by a personal relationship, you mean a romantic one? Yeah. Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean. Gwen, I don’t know about you, but. I have never fallen so deeply, so fast, so hard for someone before. It’s just, um, it’s hard to describe. It’s, um, it’s like a spark, this immediate intense spark that I felt. Yeah. But as you know, I, I, I felt it too.

Um, um, when you told me about your, your upbringing, it was like you were telling me about mine, my story. Um,

I think that, I think that you and I know each other in, in ways that other people don’t really. Yes, yes, that’s exactly it. Yes. There’s something so special between us and I’m suddenly terrified of letting it slip away. And to that end, I think I’m about to ask you something crazy. Crazy. What do you mean crazy?

When risk check

will you marry me?

I hope I’ve addressed your concerns, Mr. Stark, regarding my son’s intentions with your friend, addressed my concerns. How? By bragging that your son is charming, charismatic, and honest to a fault. Well, you didn’t say that, but it was in the subtext and it did nothing to reassure me because A, he’s scary and creepy and so are you, and B, you two are honest, like I’m straight and tall.

Well, I’m sorry you feel that way Mr. Stark, but I’m afraid I can’t spare another minute in all this conversation. So I’m gonna have to ask you to leave. Okay, I’ll go but be warned, Ms. Damira Lady whistleblower is going to be keeping an eye on you. So you and your creepy son had better not do anything to hurt my gny perhaps.

You can use the front door this time, fine. I will. And you know what? I am glad to get away from you because honestly, you give me the Hupy Cheapies, and I know why. You remind me of my mother. She too has only a nodding acquaintance with the truth. Not to mention she’s a conniving bitch on wheels just like you.

Oh, did mommy not tuck you in at night? Didn’t read you any bedtime stories? Don’t think that you have me fooled for a nanosecond, Ms. Mustache twirler. I know that you and your son are up to something. And I am damn welcome to find out what it’s

you. I, uh, I didn’t know you were back in Salem. I’m here to help look for my father-in-law. That’s right. Yes. I heard he was, um, missing this awful, have you heard any sign of him? I didn’t know you cared. Of course I care. Not completely heartless, Julie, speaking of which, I’m glad we ran into you, Julie. It’s good to see that mild ticker is still going strong.

Well, no, thanks to Ms. Hernandez here. Uh, I I, I don’t understand. Isn’t she the one who generously donated my heart to you? Generously. You can’t be serious. Wow. I guess Gabby didn’t fill you in. She used your heart as leverage to get back at Lonnie for shooting you. How so? Look, I can explain. Oh, Alami. First she made Lonnie get down on her knees and beg for it.

Imagine the cruelty of one woman degrading another woman that way, especially a black woman. And then she would never, ever have agreed to the transplant if she hadn’t first made Lonnie swear she was gonna break my grandson’s heart. On his wedding day, then to keep Lonnie in line, she reconstructed the pacemaker in my heart somehow so she could control it from her telephone.

And with the flick of her finger. She could murder me by blowing up my heart. Oh, I, I had no idea she had gone to such extremes himself. You see, even he is disgusted by you. Actually, I, um, I couldn’t be more proud.

Oh, I better head out. I gotta make a pit stop before I head to the Salem end Salem and, oh, no. No way. Just staying right here with us. I thought you guys had a full house. Well, you can take my room and I can sleep at Mama’s. Thank you Janelle. Seriously, guys. It’s fine. Oh, honey, honey, are you sure? We’d love to have you.

No, I’m, I’m sure. Look, I’m gonna be spending most of my time looking for that anyway, so I’ll make sure to stop and as often as I can check in with you guys. Oh, Theo, oh, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so glad you’re here. Thanks for coming. You don’t need to thank me. A year ago today, we became family, which means that we have to look out for each other.

That’s what, doubt it. What?

I’m sorry, Abraham. I, I wish that I could show you the picture, but unfortunately that doggone fire incinerated our entire album. It’s in the picture on Janelle’s phone. Can’t you send it to you? Uh, I mean, in theory she could. Well, you know, why don’t I call her? May, may I, um, yes. Oh. I bet you I can find the photo on my computer here.

Oh, thank you. Okay, let’s see. Oh, I’m just the empress of digital dust. There’s a lot going on here. This. Folders within folders. I don’t have anything arranged properly. Oh, this lock going, oh, this picture, my trip to Machu Picchu in 22. You know, you know, I, I, I think it’ll be much faster if I just call her.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think I found one. Um, you did? Yes, I did. Well, the should. Let me see her. You know what? I don’t really like the angle on my face. That’s not my most flattering thing. Just show me the damn picture, Paulina. Okay, fine. Here you go.

Oh my God.

I, I don’t understand. Oh, what’s not to understand, darling, as you can clearly see the bride in the photo is none other than more

my mind must be playing tricks on me guys. That’s the only explanation. That and a little Photoshop. What was that? Huh? Oh, no. Nothing darling. Nothing darling. No. You know, if I’m being honest, the only reason that I was convinced I was right. So I noticed that you don’t wear your wedding ring. Oh. Well, that’s because I leave it at home.

You know what? With all the hand washing that I have to do, I wouldn’t want it to fall down the drain. And so I leave it home and sometimes I forget to put it back on. Can I see it? Uh uh. Sure.

It’s my most prized possession.

Wow. I, uh, I’m so sorry for doubting you, accusing you of not being my wife, especially on our anniversary.

So how can I, how can I make it up to you?

Hle.

I have an idea.

All right. Well done with the dishes. Mama, can I get you anything and a little tea? No. Well, thank you, baby. I’m all right for now. Is that your wedding album? Yeah. And with all this, well, let’s talk about our anniversary. I thought it might be nice. Take a little stroll down memory lane. My goodness. Mama, you were so beautiful that day.

I mean, not that you aren’t every day. Thank you, baby. Oh. Oh, oh, look, that beautiful cake you made for us. You know there’s still a piece in the freezer. Ava and I were supposed to share it today. Oh, mama, you will. Okay. Maybe not today, but, so

what’s this? Oh. Those are Abraham’s vows. That’s a touch button. I should have had somebody personally to fan me down at the altar when he read them. Oh, I just had eight. That’s the copy. I had eight printout for me. His words. They were so heartfelt and the way he delivered them with the that e voice at him, you know, I wouldn’t believe it possible, but I love him even more today than I did back then.

And I wish he was here, so I wish he was here so much so I could tell him that. Oh mama, he knows wherever he is, he knows

you’re proud of Gabby. Proud of her. Humiliating and tormenting and manipulating Alani for over a year in this terrifying way. Lonnie is no saint. She did shoot me in the throat. Your mother was attempting to flee. Lonnie had no choice to fire, and if we being real, it’s your own damn fault for jumping your stupid ass in front of a bullet.

Okay? I do admit that the uh, details are a little fuzzy. That was a very chaotic night, but if I’m not mistaken, that wasn’t the last time Lonnie got in trouble for being a little trigger happy. Isn’t she in prison right now for shooting her own father? Not want a lot of talk after somebody who don’t know what the hell they talking about.

Darling don’t. He’s not worth it. She’s not worth it. They deserve each other. That’s right. We do. And that’s why we’re getting married again. Congratulations for your honeymoon. You can both go to hell.

Oh, father, I suspect you might not like my plans for Stephan, but if it’s any consolation, I’ll do my best to spare Kristen and ej. Then hopefully feeding them well will be a morale boost. Make them less cranky.

Hello? Oh God. I really have to beef up security around here. I’m sorry, I, I hope I’m not interrupting your dinner. Oh my goodness. You are Theo Carver, aren’t you? Lexi’s son. That would be me. Ah, you’re so very handsome. I am your auntie Megan, and it is a real pleasure to finally meet you. You too. So what brings you here?

I’m actually looking for my uncle ej.

Th this, this can’t be happening. I mean, you are, you are joking, right? You’re just having a bit of a laugh, aren’t you? No, no. I’m dead serious, Gwen. I want you to make me the luckiest man on the face of this earth.

I mean, we just met and we, we don’t even know each other. Oh, I know everything I need to know about you. I look at you, you’re insanely beautiful. You’re whip smart. You make me laugh, and uh oh, you’re a maestro in the sheets. What more can men want? This is, this is, this is meant, this is crazy. This is crazy.

Exactly like what she saying. Yes. No, I understand how it might seem that way, but I’ve always been someone who goes after what they want and knows exactly what that is, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Life is too short to dilly dally

if I’m. Understanding correctly.

Are you saying that you love me? You know, I never believed in love at first sight, but I have been proven wrong. Gwen, I have been waiting my entire life for a woman like you to come by and I am not about to let you slip away. No, not like Xander did that idiot. He, he had no idea what he had. He didn’t appreciates you.

Not like I do. God. I do. And I promise you, Glen. I will spend every single last waking moment of my life devoted to making you happy. And all you have to do is say one little word. Yes.

You’re not saying anything can, I’m sorry. I, I just, oh, my heart’s pounding and, uh, adrenaline is pumping walls from my body and the. So Well, there’s no, there’s no words coming to me. It’s ok. I understand. I completely understand. It is not lost on me how spur of the moment, how impulsive this is, but it just feels so right.

Doesn’t it feel the same way for you? I’m not, I’m not sure. Maybe this will give you some clarity.

With a sock. Oh, holy moly. No way. No how I they, they what in the name of RuPaul’s Drag Race is going on? Imagine, didn’t you see the sock? Yeah, I saw the sock, but I was unaware. We were back in the freshman dorms at state, and you are obviously unaware. You just slept with a lying snake who is going to break your heart into a million pieces, and I’m the one who’s gonna have to pick those pieces up.

Not that I mind because as you know, I adore you. But for God’s sake, Gwenny, have we not established that this guy who is staring at me, will you stop staring at me please? You are creeping me out. Is using you for good press? According to you, Madi, that is because I am the only one who has not taken leave of his senses.

Will you listen to me? Dimitri here has put off our scheduled interviews. Okay. What? You heard me? Perhaps the two of you would rather discuss this. In private. No, no. Please don’t go. No, it’s fine.

Do you mind?

Oh, and Gwen, I don’t mean to pressure you, but. Think about what I said.

I’m afraid your Uncle EJ is outta town on business. I’d be happy to take a message if you’d like. Oh, no need. I was just hoping to see him while I’m in town. He sent me a couple messages about my dad and I said I’d hit him up if I came to Salem, so right. Of course, and I heard about your father. I’m terribly sorry.

Have the police found any leads? Not really. We’ll talk about hope. I’m sure that Nana and my daily departed sister are watching over him. Thank you. You know, you’re really not as scary as everybody makes you out to be. Well, you are as plainspoken as everyone says you are, and I like that about you, Theo. I hope to see you around here more often.

I can’t take this anymore. Oh. Well, what can I do for you, mama? Or we could go for a walk, try and get your mind off things. Oh, no, nothing will. Nothing will stop me thinking about my Abraham, what? I already lost my husband. I can’t go through that again. I don’t have the strength. Of course you do, mama. You are strong and brave, and so you have to just try to stay positive, okay?

For yourself and for Abe, because he is out there fighting to get back to you. I just know it.

Oh,

what have I gotten myself into? Abraham baby.

It is such an honor and a privilege to renew our vows on such a blessed day. Uh, shouldn’t we have invited our family? Oh, Abraham, we have our family surrounding us. Well, I, I, I met, I met Chanel and Theo. Um, oh, what’s that you say? Uhhuh. Uhhuh. Oh, thank you. Thank, uh, apparently the invitations never got to them.

Something about. A scared mailman and an attack dog. Oh, but no worries. We will send them the photos. After all, we have to replace the ones that were lost in the fire. Uh, I’m not exactly dressed for the occasion. Uh, you know what I will, uh, I’ll put on that light blue suit that I wore for the wedding. Ooh, the suit burned up in the fire too.

All we could find were your charred cuff links, so, well that’s, that’s a shame. Fires are so indiscriminate, aren’t they? Anyway, gimme a ring.

Miss Caddy LaBelle will hold onto this until we’re ready. Okay. All. Shall we begin?

So you actually slept with Count Dracula. Don’t call him that. Oh, I’m so sorry. You slept with Dimitri. The dastardly. Not that either. Well, whatever. We’re calling the guy. It is truly repulsive. It is nauseating. But also kind of hot, like I wouldn’t not eat an entire roast sashimi off that man’s abs. Mm.

Yeah. I’m sure that you wouldn’t not. So how was it? No, don’t tell me. Okay. Tell me. But say that it lasted all 20 seconds and there’s a weird birthmark. You can’t unsee.

It was incredible. Oh, damnit. It was, wasn’t it? I hate you. Hate him. Okay. Can you just take it down a notch please? Because you’ve given me a pounding headache and I’m, I’m already. Quite wound up and somewhat dazed. Wound up and dazed. Why? Wait, what did that guy who I hate more now than I did before?

Because I am all sorts of jealous that you two had so much fun doing the dirty and I haven’t had that kind of fun in a month of Sundays. But I’m also angry with him because he’s using you. What did he mean earlier? What does he want you to think about? Nothing.

He just asked me to marry him.

Oh, mother. Oh, Dimitri. Hello? Oh, those look good one from me. No, they were, oh. I must have worked a bit of an appetite sleeping the fair, miss Rizek off her feet and into bed. Oh, Dimitri, that’s wonderful. I am so proud of you. Thank you. Although this is a bit of a weird conversation. Even for us to be having.

So don’t ask for any further details. Okay? Just one. Did you pop the question? I did. And let’s just say that, uh, well, we got interrupted, but don’t you worry. I’m sure she’ll have an answer to me soon. And she will undoubtedly say yes because who could say no to that magnificent face? I can practically hear what he bes already, who’s getting married.

Why you too. Of course. I, I was just, um, telling your nephew here that I’ve been planning and thinking, um, and we are gonna throw the two of you an engagement party. Wow. I That’s very generous of you. That is very kind, Megan. Thank you. Absolutely my pleasure. And I promise you, this will be a party that you will never forget me and I, I must apologize to you.

I, I thought I had put that whole ugly episode out of my mind, but when I saw those two crocodiles rising from their pri ordinal swamp, I lost it. I.

I can hardly believe that awful man’s heart is beating in my chest. Grandma, that’s your heart now. That’s why it’s kind, generous, and loving just like you. Thank you, sweetheart. Let’s forget about them. We got more important stuff to think about, like finding Abe and bringing him home to Paulina.

I’m gonna go check on Big Mama. Will you be all right here? Yes. Yes. Fine. And thank you for the pep talk. You sweet girl.

Linda Price. By the time I met you, I had, I had thought that I had experienced the last great love of my life. But every day, every day, you prove that love is not in my past. It’s in my present, and it’s in my future.

Now you say your vow. I, I’m afraid I don’t remember them. Um, okay, no problem. I I got you. I’m

Do you take this luscious woman, Paulina Price to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health to love and to cherish until death Do you part.

I do.

Oh, yes. Oh, Abraham, you’ve made me the happiest woman on the face of this earth. Again,

I hope to share that love with our children and. Our grandchildren, as long as God blesses me to.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What the hell do you think you’re doing?

Feel. Hey Chad, is it really? You come here. Oh God, it’s so good to see you. Yes, I’m here. I’m really sorry about what’s going on with your dad. Yeah, me too. Thanks. That was ju just with Doug and Julie and. They were asking if I’d heard from you. You know, they’re, they’re upset about your dad. Of course we all are, but it’ll be really comforting to them that you’re here,

darling. You’re not eating, not hungry, but you’re okay. I mean, you’re feeling well. I’m fine physically. I’m fine. I’m just heartsick Doug. We, we just got past the anniversary of Abigail’s death and now this disappearance of Abraham. Yes. So much grief in his family. You know, today is, is Paulina and Abe’s first wedding anniversary.

Juneteenth. Yeah. A day of jubilation. And instead it’s, Hey, I hope y’all don’t mind. I let myself in. Eli. Eli. Good, Eli.

Happy anniversary. Abraham.

Oh dear Lord, please. Please let this be good news,

mama. What on Earth? Why are you here? Why am I here? I’m here because I know you need me.

Sorry, I’m late, babe. I had a cold yellow when I was running out the door. So what you been up to? Well, I was watching those old soap tapes of yours when all of a sudden I remembered something very important. Oh, uh, what do you, what do you mean? What did you remember? Don’t you have something you want to say to me?

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

Ooh, you look so good, handsome, tall, slender. Yeah. You look as though you could use a little home cooked food. I’ll just go make you a plate right now. No, no, grandma, it’s, it’s okay. I don’t, I don’t need to eat right now. Don’t fight it, grandson. It’d be a losing battle. Okay. I’m let, let’s do it. Okay. Thank you.

I’ll be right back. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. Wow, you just got here in time. I was about to break out the chocolate truffles to cheer up your grandma. Hmm. But you are the perfect bomb. Oh, I don’t know. She loves her truffles. So, uh, why didn’t you tell us that you were coming? I wanted it to be a surprise. Ray and I, we’ve been in constant contact about a, but it’s, it’s just hard with me not being here.

So I had a couple days off, so I figured I’d show up and see what I can do to help. Well, you’ve helped already just by being here. Oh yeah, darling. Ooh, thanks. Thank you, grandma. You’re welcome. So where are my beautiful, great-grandchildren? Uh, they’re with my mom in DC but I, I promise next time I’ll bring ’em with me.

It won’t be months and months from now, I hope. No, no, no, no. I’ll bring it back soon. Hopefully Abe will be here as well. Yeah, well, we’re all praying for that, but, but unless, unless you’ve heard something from Ray or, or somebody, the, the police don’t have any leads. No, no news, unfortunately. But I did hear that they ruled out Colin Bedford as a suspect.

Yeah. Well we heard that. Abraham is such a good and decent man. You know, he does not have an enemy in the world, and for him to be kidnapped, actually, he still hadn’t recovered completely from that last assault. Why? Oh, why Lord? Who in the world would do this to him? Well, what do you mean, Abe? What? What would I have to tell you?

Well, I was sitting here watching. Body and soul and Cassandra and Rhett were celebrating their second anniversary, their second anniversary of their fourth wedding. That is, And all of a sudden came back to me. What did Paul, today is our wedding anniversary, isn’t it,

baby? I wish I could say happy anniversary and happy Juneteenth too. But I know this is a tough time for you, so I’m just gonna say I love you and I’m here for you. Bless your heart. That means so much to me. But mama, why’d you call and tell me you were coming because I wasn’t gonna let you talk me out of it.

Besides, I had to see with my own two eyes that my baby was okay, well, she’s a lot better. Not a choice.

I had these fires printed. I wanted to do something to help find your stepfather. Yeah. Well, Abe is the mayor, so everyone pretty much already knows he’s missing. So all of this is just performative. Chanel, wait, look, I know I should have said this yesterday at the hospital, but thank you for what? Calling the cops and saving me from Colin.

And I’m sorry about all the terrible things I said about you. Why did you say them? Because Colin was listening to every word I was saying. He had a gun. I had to say whatever I had to to save your life. And yours. Look Chanel, I didn’t want you to get hurt. More than I already hurt you.

Yeah, I wish I would’ve known you were coming. I would’ve asked EJ to send that yet. Uh, no. It’s, it’s cool. I actually bought a ticket months ago. My dad is supposed to give this big speech for the Juneteenth celebration and, um, my wanted to surprise him. Right. Well look man, it’s really good to see you.

Yeah. And I’m sure it’ll mean a lot to Melanie.

Hey. Hey. You okay? Yeah. Um,

my dad, his office asked me to deliver a speech form and for some reason I said yes. What do you mean? I think that’s a great idea. He sold your dad. Yeah. It’s just that it is supposed to happen in like half an hour and. There’s no way that I can do it.

I tried to tell Dad’s staff that someone else should give the speech, but line is unavailable obviously, and they didn’t wanna ask Paulina, so, so why not you? Because I’m terrified of public speaking. It’s basically my biggest fear. I mean, I, I, I start to sweat, I trip up on my words. I, I, my hands are clammy just thinking about it.

Yeah, I know the feeling. You do. Yeah. What do you think? You’re the only person that hates public speaking? No, but I’ve seen you give speeches before. You seem totally cool. Yeah. Maybe if it’s about, um, business or something.

A year ago. A year ago. Um, I, uh, I had to give the eulogy at Abby’s funeral and the pressure, you know, I mean, it was just,

I had to be strong for the kids, first of all, and, and I wanted to, you know, I wanted to use the right words to honor their mother’s memory. She got through it. Yeah. But I wasn’t sure that I would. And then I walked up there and I looked around and I saw all of my friends and family, all of their faces, and I knew that they were there with me and Abby was too.

And then this, yeah, this calm just kind of washed over me. And then, like you said, I got through it and you will too today. You know you’re gonna be the one up there at the microphone, but. You bet your ass. I’ll be there. So Ani and Paulina, Brandon, you know your whole family, your mom, the most important.

Your dad, he will be there too. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I just, I don’t wanna disappoint him. I don’t wanna let him down. You mean you couldn’t if you tried? You want what? Let him down. Some boring white dude drawn on about the history of Juneteenth. Yeah. Sad. Yeah. You’re gonna make your dad proud. Okay. I know you are.

Okay, I’ll do it. But I need your help.

How’s Lonnie doing? I mean, I, I know you’re busy. You, you have the children and you have your job, but. You must get to see her sometimes as much as they’ll allow me to. She’ll be eligible for parole in six months, so hopefully she’ll be home by Christmas. Oh, oh, that would be wonderful. Yes, it would.

Apparently she’s doing incredible things in there. She’s mentoring prisoners, changing lives. It’s, it’s, I don’t know, it’s just so many women in prison. They just need someone to believe in him. Lonnie is a wonder. We’re always so proud of her. Yeah. Oh, I know that when she’s released, she won’t be able to be a cop again, which is a damn shame because she’s, she’s one of the best, but whatever she does, I know she’ll be great at it.

I am counting down the days until she’s home again.

So I hired Black Patch investigators to work with the police. Oh, they’re the best. And they, they happen to be Abe’s closest friends, but they, they still haven’t found anything. Well, baby. Now you told me Abe was dealing with memory loss. You think maybe he could have wandered off? No, I brought that up. But Mama Abe is the mayor.

He’s one of the most recognizable men in Salem. If he was wandering around the streets, someone would’ve called a tip by now. Unless now don’t you go to that dark place. You hear me? Don’t go to that dark place. Especially not today. Come here baby. Come here.

Now you’ve listened to me, you’ve gotta have faith that your wonderful husband will be found and that he’ll come back to you. Okay.

How did you know that it was our anniversary? Are are, are you starting to remember? No. No. But, uh, Chanel your daughter, I. When we were in the hospital, she told me that we were married on Juneteenth. That’s today, isn’t it? That’s right. So today is, is our wedding anniversary. Of course. I wasn’t hiding it from you.

In fact, I was planning a special dinner for us later. How many years are we celebrating? Just one. One. So this is our first anniversary? Yes. Mm-hmm. It is. Uh, you know, we had both lived such full lives before we found each other. I know it’s only been one year, but I feel as if I’ve loved you forever. Can you tell me about that day?

How dog? Yeah. What would you like to know? Was it a big wedding or a small one? It was there. Do we, do we write our own vows? That’s just tell me everything. I mean, maybe you can spark some memories.

Look, before you met me, I know Colin convinced you that my mom and I were these evil people who he needed to pay back for what we did to his family. But then you did meet me. I gave you a job and we were friends. Or at at least I thought you were my friend. I was. But you still did everything he told you to do.

You went along with his plan to destroy our lives. Look, I know it doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t even make sense to me. Okay. But I’m working through it. I went to go see Dr. Evans and she made me realize that. I was in an abusive relationship. Colin abused you? Yeah, emotionally. I mean, he never hit me or anything, but he had this power over me that I can’t even explain.

And I know it sounds crazy to somebody as strong as you. Not crazy really. When I was with Colin’s father, he was my professor and well, He had all the power in our relationship, and even though it was totally consensual, there was just something that made me feel like I had no choice but to be with him.

It’s always easy to see looking back at it, right? And I know that my situation is way different from yours, and I’m not trying to make any excuses for what I did at all. But you and your mom were so good to me, and a part of me felt like I needed to stop Collin’s plan right then, but, but you didn’t. But I didn’t know how Chanel, when he asked me to seduce you and then break your heart, look, I didn’t think that it would happen.

Okay. I didn’t think that you would feel for me, cuz I knew I wouldn’t feel for you. I never even thought about being with a woman before Chanel, but when we got close I did feel something.

You want me to believe you had real feelings for me? Is that what you’re saying? Look, look, no, I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m saying. Chanel, I, I just knew that I didn’t expect to feel so connected to you. Okay. After that, I knew I had to stop lying and I just had to tell you the truth. Yeah. Or are you sure you weren’t just trying to get out of sleeping with me?

I don’t think so. Look, before I left Colin that day, I made him promise me not to hurt you or your mom. Yeah. I guess he wasn’t keeping that promise. No. Unfortunately not. Look, when I saw him on top of that roof pointing that gun at you, I knew I couldn’t let him. Everything after that, I don’t know it. It was a blur on instinct.

I lunged at him, and before you know it, I was falling off the side of the roof. You saved my life and you almost lost yours in the process. Look, I can’t, I can’t take credit for that. Okay. Cuz I know that I could have stopped it way earlier. Okay. But you did stop it and could have been worse. A hell of a lot worse.

He was gonna kill me and then he was gonna kill my mom next. So I owe you a thank you.

Why would you want the gory details of our wedding day? Why were they gory? I mean, weren’t they happy memories? Oh, yes, yes, of course. I mean, well, the wedding part was amazing. It was perfect. But right after we said I do, our daughter confessed to murder. What? Chanel killed somebody. Oh, no, no. Chanel’s my daughter.

With my ex. I’m talking about our daughter Lonnie.

Why am I just hearing about this? I haven’t wanted to overwhelm you with details since When is having a daughter a detail, Helena, why is this the first time I’m hearing about her daughter and, and why haven’t I seen Lonnie? Well, because she’s in prison. In prison. I’m sorry, I just didn’t wanna spring all of this on you at once.

Well, do I have any other children I don’t know about. Yes, actually. You have a son.

All right. So, uh, what do you, uh, do you need some help writing your speech? No, I, I have the speech my dad wrote, but there’s another way that you could help me. Okay. Whatever you need. So, um, back in the day, my speech therapist used to have me line up all of my stuffed animals and just practice having conversations with them.

Okay. So you will, I can go back and get some of Thomas and Charlotte’s stuffies for you. No, I I, I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. You want me to be your audience? Yeah. If, if you wouldn’t mind, fine. I would be honored. Okay,

you grab this.

Good afternoon. I’m Mayor Abe Carver. No, I’m a mayor. Hip Carter’s son, Theo. I know. He wishes you were here today. But I wanna start by talking about what brings us together on this special day

on June 19th, 1865, where it finally reached Galveston, Texas, that the Civil War had ended two months earlier, or importantly, it was a day that the last enslaved people in the United States learned that they were free. That next year, the first Juneteenth celebration was held in Texas. But soon as the families moved elsewhere, they took that tradition with them,

uh, Juneteenth spread all across the country. And finally, last year, Juneteenth became a federal holiday. This day has been known in various parts as Jubilee Day. Emancipation Day and even Black Independence Day. It’s also the day that I, um, no, it’s also the day that my dad calls his anniversary. And today as every day, we celebrate with a mixture of joy, for freedom, sadness, for our years of hardship, and for those still struggling.

I know for a better, brighter future.

And darling, you gotta have faith. Faith in the good Lord. I do have faith Mama. In both the good Lord and in Abraham. Well, you hold on tight to that faith. Okay?

And honey, I know this is supposed to be a day of celebration, but as I recall, your wedding day was not exactly a day of sunshine and roses. No. No it wasn’t. It was the best day of my life and it turned into one of the worst when Lonnie got arrested. And what does that tell you? That today isn’t just about celebration.

It’s about taking the good with the bad, looking to the future, and holding onto that faith. You must never stop believing that a will come back to you. You hear me? I hear you.

Please, no need to thank me. I’m just really happy that you’re okay.

Well, um, I should go. I made teacakes for my mom’s anniversary. Oh, wow. I’m sure she’ll love them. I used your recipe. So does that mean the bakery’s back open? No. No. Um, but I’m working on it. I’m, I’m sorry. Yeah. Well, for what it’s worth, I hope Abe’s found soon, and I know you don’t think it’ll do anything, but I’m gonna continue to knock on some doors and I’m gonna hang up some flyers.

Oh yeah. Look, I’m not gonna give up. Okay. Chanel,

oh my stars. Look at the time I promised Thomas and Charlotte I was gonna take them to the park to meet Chad for the Juneteenth celebration. I’d like to go with you, sweetheart, but I’m still feeling a little wiped out. My darling here went 10 rounds with the flu last week, and one as always. Yeah. See, thank God.

Would you like to come with me to the park? Yeah, absolutely. Maybe Paulino will be there too. Yeah. You know, Abraham was supposed to give the speech today, wonder who’s gonna take his place as if anybody could

to quote President Obama. Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible and there’s still so much work to do.

On behalf of my dad, we thank you. Happy Juneteenth. Happy anniversary that

it’s perfect. You’re gonna the park.

I’m ready.

Mama, aren’t you supposed to? Big mama. Hi. Hey. Hi. I am so happy you’re here. So good to see you. It’s good to see you too. We have missed you so much. Well that’s good because I missed you too and I know it means a lot to mama that you’re here. So please tell me that you’re staying for a long time. Just a few days.

Oh, well, we’ll have to see if we can talk again into staying longer, a lot longer. We will definitely work on that. And aren’t you supposed to be at the Juneteenth celebration? I was gonna bring some teacakes by afterward, sweetheart. My heart is just not in it today. Not without Abraham. What’s my son’s name?

His name is Theo. Theo. Why haven’t I seen him? Well, um, he lives out of the country, uh, South Africa actually. Oh, he, he is even calling me. Does he know I’m injured? Does he, I mean, I would at least,

what, what, what is it? I think, uh,

I think I’m close to a memory. Well, don’t push it, baby. You don’t wanna upset yourself and delay your recovery. Um, don’t worry, I’ll get that you just rest.

Hello, may I help you?

Hi, I, I’m so sorry to bother you, but I’m, you know what? I don’t want my cat to come out, so let me come outside with you here in the hallway there. That’s better. How can I help you? Um, I’m trying to find a missing person. So what, you just canvassed the whole neighborhood? No, actually, my sister’s a cop and she scrubbed on this address when she was following up on leads.

So I thought I’d start here first. Huh,

mama. I know it’ll be tough for you, but. You should probably get out so that you can not stay here staring at us in these four walls all day. You know she’s right, Paulina. I know, but sitting here is staring at my sweet mom and my daughter and these four walls. That’s all I’m feeling up to today.

I get that. Okay.

Julie. Hi. Hi. Chanel. Oh, oh, oh, my Miss Olivia. Oh, what, what a beautiful surprise. So good to see you. So good to see you too, Julie. Thank you. Well, I, I, I know I’m interrupting a lovely family gathering, but. Colleena. I wanted you to know we missed you at the park. I know I wanted to be there, but, oh, I understand.

I do understand. So, I brought something back for you from the park, Julie, now come on. You didn’t really have to do any Thank you.

Hey. Oh. Oh. If you didn’t come to the party, we bring the party to you. Oh, so. How was the Juneteenth celebration? Oh my God. It was, it was, uh, amazing. It was so moving and I ran into, uh, to Theo before, and he was so nervous, uh, to give Abe speech, but as soon as he got up there, his, his whole energy changed.

His Brilliant. And he was channeling his father. Exactly. Yeah. It was just, it’s just really nice to have something to celebrate this week. Yes. Julie reminded me that this was a anniversary of Abigail’s death. Yeah. Yeah. I decided not to mention to the kids, but like I said to Julie, you know, I, I’m, I’m pretty sure they knew.

Well. Children always understand more than you think they do. That’s exactly what Julie said. And though your precious kids have lived through a terrible loss, they still are spirited and altogether delightful. And Chad. That is a credit to you.

You know what? Before I forget, Lonnie asked me to give you one of these. We love you, Pauline. Excuse me? Can I get one of those? Oh, now you know I’m gonna give you a kiss. Big mama.

I missed you. It’s good to see you. It’s good to see you, and it’s good to see you too, sister in-law. Hang right back at your brother-in-law, Eli. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank all of you. Hey, where else will we be? Think mommy, you know, maybe you are right. Maybe I did need my family and my friends around me.

Maybe. Of course I was right.

Is there room for one more? Oh.

Oh, well, the commissioner came to question me because I was on duty at University Hospital on the day that, uh, uh, mayor Carver disappeared. Apparently, I was one of the last people to see him before he went missing. Oh, oh, really? Did you notice anything suspicious at all? No, no. As I told Commissioner Hernandez, I saw nothing.

It’s so wonderful. Haven’t you all here? I just only wish that Abe was here to see all the people that he loves coming together like this. Well, maybe he can’t see us, but I believe we can make him feel us. No, I do. Let’s all gather around. Oh goodness.

Abraham Carver, we know you’re out there. I want you to know we love you. We miss you. So much, oh, do we ever? And my precious, precious husband is me, Paulina, your wife. And I want you to know no matter where you are, I feel your love and send you mine. And may you never, never leave my heart.

With this ring, I,

I gotta say I am feeling pretty good about this hand. I’m glad to hear it. I know you got a lot better things to do than just babysitting me. Yeah, I was gonna say the same to you. Well, I don’t, and I, Chad, I can’t think of one thing I’d rather be doing than just hanging in with you. They don’t, in that case.

Jen

man, foiled again, I’m gonna beat you one of these days. We’ll see you about that. Yeah. I may, uh, manage you to be the ripe old age 125, but I’ll beat you. I’ll do my dinges. Okay, well one more unto the breach. It was great. Great to see Eli again. Wow. And it lifted Julie’s spirits. Yeah. I’m sure it’ll lift Paulina’s spirits too.

You know, wherever Abe is, I hope he can feel all the love his family is sending his way.

You know, it’s been way too long since you sent me pics of my, my grand babies. Paulina, I just sent you pics yesterday. Well, what about today? All right, everyone. Now Miss Olivia and I as the two matriarchs of this family, wanna propose a toast? We do. Of course we do. Now, we all know today is a mixed bag.

It’s Juneteenth great celebration, also a great celebration for a very important anniversary. But we are all missing Abraham, something fierce. Fear. You know, I’ve known Abraham Carver longer than anybody else in his room.

And I know that he would want us to go forward with a celebration and he’d be so proud and honored of the speech you gave in your father’s name today, and all of the town turned out to give their support. Today. Can, can I say something? Oh, please. I wanna make a toast to all of you for being here to love, support, and celebrate my brilliant, powerful mother on her anniversary.

Oh, her love and faith are what’s gonna bring Abe home. Happy anniversary, mom. Yeah,

happy anniversary.

And this time next year, we are all gonna be meeting together in this room with Abraham to celebrate your second wedding anniversary. Amen. Abraham, wherever you are,

we know that you’re thinking of us just as we are thinking of you

Rain. Ivy, we with this Ring Ivy, we.

Sorry about that darling. Sorry, it took so long. I was a door-to-door salesperson. I thought I’d never get rid of her. Hey, what’s the matter? You look like you’ve seen a ghost. You’re not my wife.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sean, what are you? You do realize that it’s barely past breakfast time? I do. And do you have any idea how hard it is to find a place that sell liquor this early in the morning? Don’t joke about this. Listen, I wasn’t joking. The bottle that I had the other night just somehow mysteriously just disappeared.

So I had to get another one. Can I, can I please have my bottle back? No, you can’t. And if you’re wondering if I poured the other bottle out, I did. I confess and I would do it again. Son, listen, I get that you’re in pain about your dad. And that you’re tearing yourself out both of putting him in that coma, but this has got to stop.

Well, if it isn’t, commander Michaels didn’t expect to see you here. That was intentional.

So what were you doing behind the wall?

Dam it ej. I am more concerned about Megan killing Stephan than Nicole killing you. Why would she? What do you mean by that? For God’s sake? I was being facetious. Ohm supposed to be with Nicole right now at an appointment with a perinatologist, an expert in high risk pregnancies, one of the most sought after specialists in the country.

It was almost impossible to get an appointment, but I managed it. I am relieved because I thought Nicole had suddenly become homicidal. No, of course not. And honestly,

finding out that I was to be the father of her baby, I wouldn’t have predicted that it would mean so much to me. As you are well aware, she’s, she’s had a history of miscarriages and it’s all very heartbreaking, so her and I are very, very eager to find out what her chances are of carrying our baby to turn.

But now here I am with the appointment only an hour away, and our sadistic sister has got me tied up tighter than a rodeo calf. Yes.

Oh, Nicole, I’m so good you’re here. I just got a message from the perinatologist, so she should be here within the hour. Where is he? Jay? Is he around? Oh, you mean the man who’s supposedly excited to be the father of my child.

Thanks for letting me know. Is that about Colin guess? I tried to get him transferred to Bayview since he’s obviously in a bad state, mentally. Of course, Trask wasn’t going for it, no surprise. So he’s still at Salem PD and since he refuses to take my plea deal, probably end up at Statesville for the rest of his life.

Okay. What can I do?

Nothing. Except hold me.

Stop right there. Lucy, was he, excuse me. As much as I’m sure you would love them, they’re not meant for you. Oh, these are not meant for anybody because this is where they belong.

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

Pat, you are being extremely rude. Yeah. Well, at least I’m not a card carrying phony. Like this guy Unc Meister here is about a see through as as that underwear Xander gave you for Valentine’s Day. Look, I know you want me six feet under because I swapped out your priceless emerald for a phony. And now you’ve got double reason to want me dead because I am onto you.

Mr. Hoy toity. Mr. Too handsome for the room. This room. Anyway. Well, Gwenie here happens to be my truest and bestest friend in the entire world, and you have another thing coming if you think I’m just gonna sit back and watch you take advantage of her,

I was. Nearly getting acquainted with my famous family home, which is not your home. So what exactly are you doing here?

So you’re going to exile Megan permanently to a place she can’t ever leave and she’ll never hurt another soul again. It’s simple.

I’m done watching You hurt people.

Dammit. I have to get out of here. I have to get to that appointment. You know what? I didn’t. I didn’t know this meant so much to you becoming a father again, truthfully,

what means the most to me is Nicole’s happiness. I’ve got no pregnant twice before, as you know, and nevermind the drama surrounding those two pregnancies. That’s irrelevant. The important thing is that both times she miscarried and she was crushed. I don’t want her to have to go through that again. You really love her, don’t you?

I really do. Even if she doesn’t feel the same way about me, you know, EJ is the one who pulled strings to make this appointment happen, and now he’s not even coming. With no explanation, just some text that says, Ooh, whatever, you know, deal with it yourself. Okay. Those were not his exact words, but you know, I find it really surprising because EJ seemed really excited about this pregnancy.

Well, he is excited. Maybe I’m just overreacting. Maybe I’m, I’m hormonal, but I’m just trying to understand why he suddenly pulled a disappearing act. C, come on, gimme that. Come on, Val. Listen, I’m not hurting anybody. All right. Are you serious? Because the other night you were so wasted and ready to get behind the wheel of a car, and I’m just praying you don’t hurt somebody else.

I, Lord knows you’re already hurting yourself with all of this. Okay? Oh, you know, you’re right. Actually, you know what? Maybe I should just go on like everything is fine. I’m just gonna forget about the fact that I shot my dad, and I’m gonna forget that I put God sake Sean, no one’s asking you to forget it.

I’m just asking you to deal with it, but in the right way. Oh. Oh, okay. The right way. Okay. The right. And I’m assuming that you know what the right way is, so if you do, I’m all ears I’d to know. Okay. Well, it’s not drinking yourself into a stupor.

Listen, I just, I’m just asking you to maybe go talk to my mom. Okay. Maybe she can help you process all this guilt you’re feeling. You want me to go to therapy? Therapy be, I mean, come on. I mean, Bob is a lot cheaper, so he can stop joking about this. Listen, it’s, it’s not gonna be easy and it’s not gonna be immediate, but I do think that talking to someone about this will help give you some perspective, you know, so you’ll stop torturing yourself.

Maybe I want, maybe I wanna torture myself bell, huh? Do you not get it? Do I have to spell it out for you? Is it, I deserve to be tortured. I deserve to be miserable. That that is my punishment. You can’t mean that. I mean, every damn word of that.

Well, the doctor’s not gonna be here for a while, so there’s still time for EJ to get here. Yeah, of course. I’m sure you’re right. Yeah, listen, I need to get to my office, but I’ll look for you in a little bit, okay? Mm-hmm. Okay. Sounds good.

Oh, come on, ej. Dammit. Answer me pink.

Everything okay? Yeah. Hi, bill. I’m just, um, I’m just frustrated, you know, because I’ve been trying to reach EJ and he just finally sent me a text and I, you know what? It’s a long story and I’m, I, I, I just wish he was here. I’m sorry. Is this about you being pregnant? I, uh, I read about it in Lady Whistleblowers column.

Yeah, right. Well, it, it is so I guess the story is accurate then. And ejs the father. Huh? We did a paternity test. It’s definitive. Yeah. Wow. I guess that probably hit Eric pretty hard. Huh?

I must seem so needy to you. Hey, I know each other sometimes. God knows I’ve leaned on you a lot since we’ve been together. I’m here for you and I told you that

I just wanna be here. All day right in your arms. It’s fine by me. Don’t tempt me. I can’t. I have to be in court soon. Let me come with you. I can help you get through it. You would do that for me

with everything that my brother has done. I mean, the mayor still missing Abe’s or friends. He wouldn’t have even been in the hospital had it not been for Colin. He must be crazy to even wanna be seen out with me. And call me crazy. That was a two-way street. So was loyalty. You’ve been there for me. Like I said, why wouldn’t I be there for you?

Matt, I knew that you were trying to protect me, but you, um, I’m not trying. I’m succeeding Actually. You’re not, you’re not even being very clear right now. What exactly do you think is happening here? What, how, how, how, how am I taking advantage of Gwen? Oh, just stop. I know what you’re up to with your cheap grocery store flowers and your good manners, and your good looks and your good.

Okay, fine. I’ll give this one to you. Your great body. And you turn on the charm and suddenly the spectator is running this splashy front page sugarcoated profile about Salem’s latest Euro trash reject. In which you’re all, I know, I present as a narcissistic sociopath who wants to destroy the world, but deep down in just a cuddly teddy bear, God.

And this, this is what you’ve wanted all along, isn’t it? Von Liar, liar, pants on fire. All this great free publicity, Dimitri. Well, I will not stand idly by while you try and manipulate Gwen into giving you more and more, because lemme tell you she’s a real journalist and if she’s not gonna stand up for herself, then it falls on me.

Hmm.

Where does that leave us, Mr. Stark? I still sit down. Oh. Like you wouldn’t cheat, but go ahead. Kill me. If you must. At least I will go down knowing I was defending my best friend from your insulting and nefarious behavior.

My Commander Michaels, I’m insulted. Talk about baseless accusations safe act.

I know you have somebody in your sights right now. Who is it? Hope Kate, somebody else in town. Who’s in your way? Oh my look who’s come down with a terrible case of savior complex. So now your Salem self-appointed protector. Tell me, does the job come with a shiny tin badge, perhaps a Dakota rape? Somebody has to protect this town from you, and I’m proud to be the one to do it.

I owe the people a Salem that much after all the damage I did when I was under your control, and you were such a disappointment. Believe me, I’m about to become more disappointing to you.

You two,

what the hell is going on here?

Fuck mad. I simply stop by to express my thanks to Gwen for the story. That’s it. No ulterior motives, I swear. Right? Okay, Matty, you know you love best, right? And you know that I adore you, but sometimes you could be just a bit overzealous. And you can be dangerously dewy eyed and gullible at times. Gwen falling, shallowly.

Shallowly, is that a word? Shallowly. Shallowly. Pray to a man’s physical attributes, ignoring the fact that he’s a master manipulator with a heart of stone. Okay, that’s enough. Just Dimitri, as you recall. I’m sure. You remember yesterday I defended Matty and I think today he’s just trying to return the favor, return the favor way to downplay Guinevere.

I offered to die for you and he seems to forget that I am absolutely capable of taking care of myself, and that’s why your life has been such a better roses. You see Matty as a very loyal friend, so loyal. In fact, he sometimes passes the ability to take a hint. Not to mention my ability not to be fooled by a slick and slimy creep whose only attributed is that he looks like a cross between George Clooney and Ricky Martin.

Oh God. Look, look at the time, um, you have a deadline, don’t you? Yes. You have a column that you have to file now, right? Matty, right now I’ve got my eye on you. Tall, dark, and dangerous. Don’t forget it.

I’d like to apologize for my friend. He, um, sometimes has an overactive imagination. No, no. Um, actually I should be the one apologizing to you. You see? Now that we’re alone, I can tell you the truth that Sure. Odd little friend there. Well, he was absolutely right about me.

Uh, God. Sorry, Nicole. That was so insensitive. I’m just a little and no more than a little. Listen, I, I know it’s no excuse. I just had a really rough morning. Yeah. We’ll, join the club. What’s going on with you? It’s Shawn. Yeah, it’s uh, you heard what happened with his dad and how he was trying to save his mom and Yeah, I did.

And I also heard he is struggling with it. Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. And it’s just getting worse. So I thought I would bring him here to see my mom, but, um, you’re here alone. Well, I came anyway. Yeah. So I should probably go talk to her and get her thoughts on all of this. And, um, you don’t need to hear about my problems, but I am so sorry for what I just said about Eric.

I know it’s, it’s complicated. Okay.

Complicated. You have no idea.

So you think, Nicole, what she’s using you doesn’t have feelings for you? No, no, no. I’ve never said that. I’m, I’m just not confident that she loves me quite the same way that I love her. Why is that?

Oh, did you say the L word to her and she didn’t say it back, and how was that? Any of your concern? Well, just. Answer my question. It’s complicated. All right. Because of her past feelings for Eric Brady, though it might become less complicated now that he’s clearly moved on with that hateful lawyer that Baden noir of everyone of Salem.

You haven’t eaten a thing. Listen, I know you’re worried about your brother, but you got to eat so you can keep your strength up. This is not about Colin, it’s about you. Me. Did I do something wrong? No. No, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s about the offer you made me earlier when you said you’d go to court with me.

Well, it really touched me. I wanna support you because I love you. I love you too, Erin. Which is why I,

which is why what? Which is why I don’t want you to forget about the offer I made about us having a baby together. I haven’t forgotten. Why are you bringing him now? Oh, well, because you just do so much for me and I wanna do something for you. And that’s very kind and loving offer, but you have so much on your plate right now, and I don’t mean literally.

Seriously though, given everything that I’ve gone through and what you’re going through right now, I don’t think it’s the right time for us to have a baby. Why the hell not?

It’s starting to feel like Grand Central Station in here. I’m gonna have to talk to the staff about upgrading the locks. Whoa. Well, so much for being done with Megan Hathaway, right? Hmm? That’s Megan Demara. Who is it that you’re gonna take out next? Huh? Is she trying to get you to go after my mom again?

Hey, just slow down. It’s obvious you’ve been drinking. You g know you sound like my wife. You got, you got it wrong. Okay. I’m here to deal with Megan, not make a deal. We’re on the same side. Okay. And who, wait, who is it that asked you to do that? I, I, because I, I decide. I decide. I decide who’s on my side.

Okay. Thank you very much. Are you sure that you were sied by Bo Brady? Because you are absolutely nothing like him. Pathetic, drunk in little mansion. You’re the reason that I’m like this. Okay. How is it that you. How is it that you’re not in prison? Hey, how is it that you are walking around here free? Well, my parents after everything that you did to them, huh?

My mom and my dad. You keep your distance. Oh,

wait a second. Who’s the one that’s pathetic right now? Hmm? Who’s pathetic? Wait, are you scared, Maggie? Are you scared? Are you scared that you’re gonna have to pay for messing up my dad’s head and turning him into a zombie? Huh? Is that what you’re gonna, oh, come on, Shawn, let’s calm down. If you tell me where your dad is, I can go and apologize to him now.

Oh, wow. That’s That’s hilarious. That’s hilarious. An apology. An apology. Talk about a little too late you sadistic bitch. You know the minute, the minute that I thought of it, you were here. I knew, I knew that I needed to come here and I needed to do something. Yeah, Maggie, you know what? You, you were gonna pay, okay?

That is enough out of you, detective, unless you wanna have a bullet between your eyes.

Kate, what are you? He is dropping. Sorry, not sorry about letting in. So what did you hear? Well, I heard enough, although you girlfriend may not be a favorite of mine. That’s beside the point, which is, which is. Obviously you are serious enough about each other to be talking about having a baby. Something I know is very, very important to you.

So if there’s an offer, genuine one, why would you wait? Because it’s a serious decision. It’s not something you just rush right into, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, boring. Okay. I know you’re trying to do the responsible thing, but, but life is messy. I mean, it can be joyous. It can be thrilling, and then it can be depressing as hell.

You still have to plunge in and embrace the chaos. I mean, if you’re always using all of your energy and time to logic through everything, opportunities are just gonna pass you by and you won’t even notice because you’ll be so busy trying to do everything the right way, and all of a sudden you’re gonna end up on a boat in the middle of the ocean, God knows where, cutting the heads off fish and wondering why you didn’t do all the things you wanted to do.

Well, tell us how you really feel. Yeah, cuz it’s not that simple. Oh, I never hold back. Oh yes. It is that simple. I know about McCall and EJ Roman filled me in. So what so what That it didn’t work out. Screw it. Why don’t you make something else work out? Because if you wait, all you’re gonna do is get older.

I mean, if there’s something you want really, really badly, you need to make that happen, and you need to make it happen now.

Hey, speaking from experience, although it has been a while, um, When a woman isn’t expecting to hear, I love you, it does take some time for her to process it. Therefore, she might not immediately respond in kind. Well, obviously Nicole did not. But in her defense, I was unaware that she was pregnant. She was unaware who the father was.

I, well, I, I don’t know this if this would be comforting to you in any way, but, um, I wouldn’t say I love you too, under those circumstances, but Nicole and I have known the truth that I’m the father for several days now and she hasn’t said it. Yep. Ej, she doesn’t know if she’s gonna carry this baby to term.

And she’s in a very stressful position, said, just don’t expect too much too soon,

Kristen, if I didn’t know better, ID think you were trying to be helpful to your brother. Are you actually offering me emotional support?

And if anyone asks. I will deny it.

Oh, maybe today was the day that Nicole was going to say it. Dammit. If I hadn’t tried to warn Stephan, I’d be with her right now at the doctor’s appointment, finding out where we stand. Instead, I’m here waiting for the craziest mirror of all time to decide our fate.

I wouldn’t if I were you, commander Michaels, you stay exactly where you are. That’s a good boy, Shawn Brady, you pathetic little weasel. Here I am grieving the loss of my beloved bow, and all you can do is drown yourself in a bottle of booze. Not to mention looking around everywhere you can for someone else to blame for the bullet that you put into him.

I know. I know what I did and I hate myself for it. But you know what? But the truth is I would do it again. I would do it again if I knew that I was saving my mom’s life because I thought, I thought my dad was gonna kill her. I wish he had. You should have let him because we’d all be better off then.

That’s right. That’s right. Shawnee. Boy, back away and don’t you dare take another step. I waited years, years to have my beloved bow back. And you, you ruined it in an instant. Well, guess what? I can ruin you in an instant. Megan. I’m, I’m a witness. You pull that trigger and you go straight back to prison. You silly, silly boy.

There will not be a witness if I go this far besides. This man broke into my house and threatened me. I am well within my legal rights to end his pathetic little life right now. I just hope that it won’t permanently stain my carpet with your blood. It’s one of my favorites.

So you really were just using me to clean up your image, a very unsportsmanlike of you. No, no, no, no. I, I would, I would never do anything like that. What I meant was that your, um, well, your persistent and very, very loyal friend was right to assume that I did come here with, well, with an agenda, uh, with her.

Then what is it? The truth is that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the day we met. That’s why I brought you these flowers,

Gwen, ever since I saw you at our family home, I just, I just felt something and ever since that day, I haven’t been able to get you outta my head and my heart. Forgive me, I, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m, I’m putting you on the spot. How could you possibly, well, how could you possibly have the same feelings for me?

What if I do.

You mean you, you actually have feelings for me.

You know, we had lunch the other day. I, I couldn’t believe how much we had in common, how alike we were. I. I thought I was being too obvious with my feelings. Honestly, must be my famous British Reserve for not showing it. Or maybe it was that my vision was just clouded by hope.

Well, I hope you’ve seen clearly now

watch closely.

Hey Sean. Come on. Stop Megan.

Okay. I know you think you got a case of self defense, but two dead bodies are gonna mess up whatever plans you have cooking, and we both know you always have something planned.

Good decision now. I’m gonna walk Shawn out. Shawn gonna walk out. You’re gonna put the gun down

and we all to fight another day. Let’s go. Sean, walk out. Let’s go.

Stupid Salem Protector. You are lucky. I need you for my plan. Still commander.

Which reminds me, what am I gonna do about those two down there?

Damn her. How long do you think she’s gonna let us stew down here? You tell me you are the one who’s been colluding with her. Okay. You know what? I owe you an apology for throwing in my lot with her. Well, in your defense, you had no idea. She made the bummer look like an older boy.

Ah man. When she cooked up that plan to escape from prison, I was determined not to get left behind. I just, it went along with the plan cuz I thought it was gonna be my only chance to get back with Rachel. I do understand that I. Oh, honestly, I mean, I didn’t mind plotting behind my siblings back. I mean, alls, alls fair and love and corporate governance, right.

God, I had no idea. She was such a crazy woman. Oh hell, she makes me look practically normal. Let’s hear it for normal. I’ll take that any day of the week. Hello? Hi Kayla. Can you sign a vj? No. I texted him a couple of times. Well, actually a couple thousand times, but I haven’t heard from him. He must be tied up somewhere.

Well, I’ll stay here with you so you don’t have to do this alone. All right. I just got another message from the doctor. She’ll be here in a few minutes. Oh, that’s great. I mean, at least we’ll find out one way or another what my chances are of carrying this baby to term.

You have to admit, I mean, everything Kate said makes sense. Oh, I always make sense. Excuse me. Okay. So if this guy needs further convincing, you’re going to have to handle that on your own because I have to go. But before I do, I have one more thing to say to you. You need to cease today. Okay? And I know that you know what that means, because you gave a sermon on that once when you were still wearing that funny little collar, remember?

Okay, look, I swear to you, I did not pay her to come and say all of that, but what do you think

here? Drink this. It’ll help.

After everything last night, I should have known you’d go after Megan today. I never should have let you leave like that. We could have shot you. Yeah. Well, I wish she had. Don’t say that. Listen, I would’ve taken that bullet. I would’ve taken that bullet because I deserve it. No, that is not true. Look at me.

Son, I love you.

I dunno, what am God’s name has she been doing up there this whole time? Who knows? Maybe she’s found someone else to terrorize. I just hope Stephen’s safe. Oh. God, I have a feeling that we’re gonna be down here for a long time. See? Might as well get used to it. There is no way in hell I’m getting used to this.

Oh, damn it. What Nicole? No, the appointment was an hour ago by now. She’s gotten the news about her pregnancy, good or bad, and I wasn’t by her side.

Nicole. Oh, oh. Hi. Everything. All right. Uh, yeah, you, I, I just came from that doctor that I told you about, the one that AJ arranged for us, the perinatologist, to see if I could carry the baby to term. Mm-hmm. What’d the doctor say? Well, I mean, as, as we suspected and, and of course I read up on this too, so I’m not really surprised, but there’s been so many changes since Holly was born and, and with the, uh, some new treatments, the doctor thinks.

The doctor thinks there’s very good chance. That’s great news. I’m happy for you and ej. Yeah, no, truly it’s, that’s wonderful news Nicole. And congratulations. We actually have some good news of our own too. We just discussed this a few minutes ago, but um, we’re gonna try and have a baby as well. Isn’t that great?

We’re gonna be pregnancy twins. It was thanks to Kate. Really, Kate? Yeah. She made me see that there’s no point in weighing around for something I really wanted.

So Shawn just stumbles in and blows up the whole thing. He was there to confront Megan. Obviously he was drunk, he was belligerent. Damnit. Damn it. So that’s it. You just canceled the whole thing. Well, I, I had no choice. She was gonna put a bullet in him. Well, of course she was going to put a bullet in him.

She’s a homicidal maniac. If we don’t stop her, she’s capable of putting a bullet in him. Hang on. Don’t worry. This is just a delay. When the time comes, I’m gonna go back and then you’ll never see or hear from Megan again.

All right, back to business. I know taking over the world was so labor intensive.

I’m so sorry, Glen. I hate to do this, but, um, I’ve been waiting on this, this business text.

Is it important?

Not as important as this? Oh.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

There. How was your shower? It was pleasant enough. I suppose. That shower head though, that’s a bit much. A bit much. It’s supposed to be the Costa Rican waterfall experience of a lifetime. Did it at least wash off the sickly sweet smell of incessant fawning. On Earth is that supposed to mean? Well, here I am reading your interview with a murderous kidnapper who comes off like Mahatma Gandhi, thanks to your gushing and flattery.

Oh, you read my interview? I see. Well, that’s a step up from you perusing photos of the shirtless Hemsworth Brothers, can I read you my favorite quote with his scores of crimes against humanity being well-documented and a rap sheet that would make Al Capone blush. You can only imagine my astonishment at discovering that Dimitri Vaughn Leischner does indeed have a heart.

Well, it looks like someone dialed up the charm to an 11 last night. If you’re referring to yours, truly, my charm does not have a dial. It lives at an 11. Uh, well, from what I’m reading, it seems you made significant headway in regards to Operation Seduce and Mary Gwen Rizek. Yes, I believe I have. Although, I must admit, I’m a little surprised not to find Mother waiting here on tenor Hooks ready to hear all about it.

You really think it’s a smart idea for you to be here? Don’t worry, Mr. Chen. I waited patiently until all of your little roomies scurried off, and I knew you were alone. It’s vital now that we continue our conversation, why was our call cut short? Is someone walking on you? Yes, actually, I was rudely interrupted when my brother EJ overheard our plan to eliminate Stephan.

Stepan Stephan up. Stepan, you need to let me in. Our sister Megan came crazy. She tied me up in the secret room, but I escaped. Stephan, listen brother, I overheard her Ploting to kill you. Stephan open the body door.

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

Brother. Brother,

oh,

yes.

It was a dream. God. It was just a dream,

but now I’m stuck in a nightmare on my own.

Tommy come, oh, uh, Stefan, why don’t you use a battering ram next time? I, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you. You want to tell me what this is about, Nicole? Because the way you were knocking made it sound like that it was a matter of life and death. Well, I’m. I’m looking for ej. Do you know where he is?

Megan? Oh, shoot. Heartless psychopath. You better go find another island to go hide under because when I get out of here and wrap my hands around your neck. Dear sister, you’re gonna be sorry you never came back from the dead.

With the love of God. Megan, why would you tell EJ about our plan to off Stephan? No, you didn’t hear me. I said EJ overheard me on the phone. Of course I wouldn’t choose to tell him. Okay. Okay. What exactly did he overhear? He overheard that I said, my brother is not long for this world. I. And being the self-absorbed narcissist that he is.

Of course he assumed that I was talking about him. Did, did he know it was me on the other end of the conversation? No, no, no, no, he didn’t. So then I explained to him he had the wrong brother and that it was actually Stephan that we were planning to do away with, and that it might work out in his best interest as much as mine.

Okay. So did he go for it? It felt promising briefly, and then he had a sudden attack of conscience. Where are you going to warn Gabby and Stephan?

Look at what you’ve made me do.

Followed by a sudden attack of being vase.

Well, I have no idea where your mommy is this morning, but why don’t you come and sit next to Auntie Kristen and tell me all about it.

So did you get on your knee and. Ask for Ms. Riz check’s hand in marriage, or are you waiting for an actual date with her? I’m, uh, I’m sensing the slightest tinge of disapproval. Oh, come now. I’d be quite the hypocrite to disapprove. And you doing whatever you need to do to attain your goal. Huh? Even if that means deceiving a woman who is apparently a good friend of yours.

Huh? Are you sure you don’t have a problem with me using Gwen to get what I want? You know what? How about in the future you stop reading my interviews and you go back to looking at pictures of the shirtless heworth brothers. Oh, come on Gwen. I’m just teasing you. No, you were questioning my journalistic integrity says the girl who didn’t hesitate to use blackmail to wrestle control of the spectator away from her old man.

Hey. If memory serves. That was your idea. One of my more inspired ideas at that. But we are straying way off topic. Yes. For good. I hope. No, no, no. Miss Heda hopper wannabe. Not until you explain to me why you went so easy on that scoundrel. Who is so, so easy on the eyes.

Look, Mr. Von Ner and I sat down and we had a rather nice chat. No, I had a roommate once who had a cat named Dimitri. Hello. I thought you wanted to hear about my lunch with the scoundrel. I do, I do. I’m just processing my distress over being exiled from my home. This room that we share so that the two of you can have one-on-one private time.

And when I returned hours past midnight dying to be debriefed, you weren’t even here. You wicked little gat about you. So tell me, after the bistro, did he take you to the hop word on the street? Is that Mr. Von Leischner can cut quite the rug for your information? No, we stayed here and we ordered room service.

Oh hmm. And did you eat your meals in bed under the cubbies? Of course. Not such restraint. Oh no. We sat down and ate in chairs and then when the interview concluded, I made a beeline for the office, wrote up a quick article to get into the morning edition. Hmm. It’s like all the president’s men minus the mutton chops and newsrooms.

What were we supposed to watch that the other night? I know you Gwenie and your article is dripping with subtext. I didn’t have to read much between the lines to know that you’ve got a thing for Dimitri. God, stop it. I barely know him. Yeah, and I know you better than anyone else on the planet. Lady Gwenivere over his Czechia.

So don’t try and pollute lady whistleblower’s air with your lies and deception.

Okay, fine. Yes. He’s quite attractive. I mean, who wouldn’t, who doesn’t? Nobody with eyes and a libido. Yes, exactly. But even beyond that, I, when I was talking to him and getting to know him, I, I realized we have so much in common. Oh, so the two of you were kindred spirits, huh? I wouldn’t go that far, but I would say that there was.

Definitely a connection there.

I actually happen to, like Gwen, she’s smart, savvy, gutsy, but I’m the one who got her the pardon and she owes me not the other way around. Right. Mm. Well, if it makes you feel any better, I, uh, I enjoyed her company. Oh yeah. She, uh, she, she seemed to really listen to everything that I had to say, and she even related to a number of my life experiences.

You mean? You mean the life experiences you no doubt tailored to me hers, the ones that were laid out in detail in the dossier that your mother gave you. Fine, yes. I may have embellished a few details and told her what she wanted, but Okay. Just. Be careful that it doesn’t turn into marriage gate with a reporter breaking her own story.

Well, that’s not gonna happen. Oh, in any case, when I do convince Gwen to marry me, it’ll be for richer and not for poorer. You do know, you do know that, um, mommy dearest, uh, has some big, bold plans of that inheritance of yours. No, she hasn’t made much of a secret about that. No, mommy dearest has a plan for everything.

Absolutely everything.

Nicole. I don’t know where EJ is. Have you checked between the couch cushions? This is serious, Stephan. Okay. EJ has made it abundantly clear that he’s not my keeper, so why should I be his? Because you’re his flesh and blood. Look, last night he sent me a text saying he had to go out of town for a last minute business trip, and I haven’t heard from him since.

I’m worried about him, Stefan, and I thought maybe you might know something. Well, I don’t, Nicole. And the fact that I don’t, and the fact that you don’t should tip us off to one thing, and that is, as we speak, EJ is probably up to something, uh, what’s the word, underhanded. Damn ropes. Okay, come on. Come, come on.

Deep breathy J. Deep breath. Calm. Calm. You’re gonna have to use every bit of your strength to free yourself and get out of here so you can warn Stephan about that at our sister of ass.

Okay? Okay. Okay. So E j’s tied up. In the secret room underneath the Demer Mansion seemed like the logical place to statue him. How’d you even know about it? I thought you never lived in that house. Well, I learned about it last year when I dispatched my beloved boat to relieve Kristen or that rare orchid.

In hindsight, I wish I had never actually sent him here to Salem. If I hadn’t, perhaps, then everything would’ve turned out differently. As much as I. Delight in hearing about all the questionable decisions you’ve made in your past. I’d rather talk about the current offering of choice that will preclude destroying my future.

Because if EJ tells anyone, EJ has been taken care of, your Honor, it’s immaterial. He’s my problem not yours. You. My handsome co-conspirator. You need to focus your full attention on eliminating Stephan so that you can eventually reunite with Gabriela Hernandez. Now, isn’t that what you want?

So how are we gonna do this? How? How are we going to eliminate Stephan?

Wait, you’re not thinking I’m the one who’s going to kill him, are you?

Ah, finally. Yeah. Sorry I’m late. Well, you should be, since you’re the one who called this meeting. Yeah. So am I correct in assuming that you gave some thought to what I proposed the other day? I have. And I’m in excellent. Megan Hathaway has to be dealt with before she has the chance to hurt somebody else.

Well, I’m so glad that you came to your Senses. Commander Michaels, obviously, we agree that she’s a minister to society, so when she’s soundly sleeping in her unmarked grave, I’m not, I’m not gonna kill her. Okay. So I. I don’t understand. I’m confused. You just said that you’re on board for getting rid of her and I still am.

In all my years of being a seal, I’ve learned that there’s more than one way to make somebody disappear.

I don’t see why you’d be put off with the concept of murder, Mr. Chin. Have you forgotten that? You’ve already made an attempt on my brother’s life when you pulled the plug on him and Dr. Rawla, which is why if Stephan Demara is the victim of foul play, I’d be the chief suspect. Prison may be a great place to, you know, finish Moby Dick, but I hear the food is pretty bland.

Well, good thing you’re not going to have to find out, but, but you just said that I was leading you astray, Mr. Shan. I would not trust an important job like this to an amateur assassin who couldn’t even get it right the first time. No, Mr. Shan, we need someone. With ice in their veins. Someone who is trained to kill and willing to kill, and I know just who that someone is.

So you’re gonna exile Megan permanently to a place she can’t ever leave and she’ll never hurt another soul again. So are you talking like a, a black side? Unless, unless you know the better. Okay. I’m fine. I’m fine. But the one thing I do know is that I’m gonna sleep a lot better once I know that woman is Spanish.

Yeah. You and a lot of other people. Indeed. But you do know we have to keep gifts between you and me. Okay. Yeah, of course is my husband, for better or worse, is a man of conscience. I mean, he believed that Orus had killed me and still he stopped Steve and John from Avening my death by killing Orus. So if he finds out about our little plan, as much as he loads Megan for what she did to me, he will definitely try to stop us.

Understood. You know, another thing I was thinking about too seems rather like cruel and unusual punishment to separated mother from her son. So as long as you have Megan blindfolded in an unmarked van, I’m thinking might as well pick up Dimitri and take him along for the ride.

So Dimitri flashes you as baby browns as pearly whites. Maybe breaks out a van Leischner and you go softer on him than a goose feather pillow. Wrong, not to mention very unfair and disrespectful. I will have you know that I asked him some very hard questions, but something else got real hard during that interview.

I swear. Matt, hold on. Let’s see. Let’s see. Uh, no, actually I don’t see any mentions of how he kidnapped Kate Roberts or threatened to blow up half the houses of Parliament in Europe or Salem itself, for that matter. The little speck on the map that we call home and nothing about, and this is highly significant to me, obviously, but how he manhandled yours truly.

And last but certainly not least, not a single hard question about his psychopathic mother. What. I think you were just a tiny little bit jealous that he’s interested in me and not you. Oh, breaking news. Gwenivere. As much as I adore you forever, I hate to hold the stop sign up to this little ego trip of yours, but it’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Dimitri has an ulterior motive.

Oh, and what might that be? Prey. Tell my sweet little darling Misanthropic friend. It’s not misanthropic ness, miss. Whatever. I’m quite fond of. Most of humanity. Well, you anyway, but to answer your question, I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what lies ahead for you and Dimitri, the dastardly, but I would swear on my life that that dude is not motivated to charm that cute little tushy of yours and swear that the two of you are separated at birth because he thinks you’re the BE’S knees, which you are, but that’s irrelevant.

It’s because he has some sort of grand and sinful plan. Oh, like all great leaders before her. Your mother is wisely circumspect on the particulars of global Agen enemy, though I did hear her mention something about amassing an army of sorts with Harris Michaels at the helm, whatever that means. Uh, I guess it means that someone fell asleep in front of the history channel one too many times.

Man, mom, just, she sounds, sounds delusional. Grandiose. Yeah. I guess nothing new there. Yeah. Well, she can hand me a helmet and stick me on the trenches for all I care. Oh. I only intend to stay on my sister’s good side so that she can assist me in the resources necessary to regain full custody of my daughter.

Wow. So you’re going the legal route this time. That must be a whole new, exciting feeling for you. Oh, it’s gonna be a challenge to say the least. Brady has his little lawyer slash sister in his corner to keep me away from Rachel, and she is an attack dog, and I need an attorney to put a muzzle on her.

Unfortunately, it has been a challenge convincing someone to represent me. If only you had a hotline or a an app for this dilemma? No, no. I actually have someone in mind who might that be. Sloan Peterson, though. She is sleeping with Brady’s brother, Eric. Well, that sounds like a conflict of interest to me.

Mm. Which I am confident that I can mitigate. You see? Dimitri, you are not the only one in this family who can turn on the charm. You know, I have heard Madame Mozel Peterson has a weakness for a, uh, very rare vintage champagne. A 96 Louisie owns put Mm, yes. And we have some in the cellar just collecting dust.

So, If I can turn on said charm and present her with said bottles, then I am quite sure that she’ll accept a retainer in. Bubbles.

Are you insinuating that EJ is involved in some plot that I don’t know about? Right Nicole? It is certainly within the realm of possibility, don’t you think? No, I don’t think, and that, and this can’t be what’s happening because EJ and I are supposed to have an appointment with a specialist in about an hour to discuss if or, or how.

I can carry this baby to term and he did a lot of research to find this doctor, so I’m just trying to understand how he could suddenly be Mia. It doesn’t make any sense. Okay. Nicole, I hate to break this to you, but do you think that maybe just maybe. Killing my chances at Demara is more important to EJ than having this baby with you,

ej.

Putting aside your comprehensive knowledge of my rather checkered history with members of the opposite sex, how many bruises and bumps has my self-esteem and my ego sustained? I mean, what possible objective could Dimitri hope to achieve by charming me? Let me put my thinking cap on for a second. Hmm, I’ve got it.

Maybe the glowing article he’d hoped you’d write about him, which you in fact did. I mean, you can’t buy press like that. Oh, can’t is a strong word. Are you saying that the only reason he was interested in me is, was to use you to rehabilitate his reputation? Ding, ding, ding. Well, okay. I mean, yes, it did. It did occur to me, but I, I made sure to maintain the utmost professionalism and he seemed, he seemed really genuine.

No, I’m, no, I’m not diluting myself here. I. There was a definite attraction. There was this, it was like an electricity. It was so palpable. I’m telling you, I could feel it.

Because Dimitri is as cold-blooded and as manipulative as his mother and that son of a bitch. And I mean that literally might not have actually tried to kill me, but he did hold me hostage and he did force me to the head A boatload of fish was, was not only disgusting, it was totally moralizing. So yes, I would like to see that little mama’s boy just cut off at the knees.

I, I, I understand. I do, but making two people disappear. Well, yeah. I mean if it’s a matter of a incept in shovel, if Dmitri disappears along with Megan, it increases the risk substantially. So what are you saying? That’s what I’m saying. You bring the sun into the mix. It could complicate the mission to neutralize the mother.

I know you had Michael’s brainwash once, but I thought the is a D programmed him. I did, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t reprogram him to do my bidding, and that Lee is where you come in. Not my area of expertise, I’m afraid. However, you can secure someone whose area of expertise it is. I’m thinking, Dr.

Wilham rolls. I trust you know where he might be. You want me to bring the good doctor back to Salem? I do indeed. See, that’s not much to ask. Really. Rather simple, isn’t it? So let’s play this out. Dr. Rolfe programs Commander Michaels to murder Stephan and then OneLA. You and I both get exactly what we want.

Consider it done.

Stephan, you don’t know your brother like I do. I know him well enough to know that he’s a pompous. Ass, or shall I say pomp is rs. What does that have to do with him standing me up for something that’s important to both of us? Like I said, Nicole, nothing is more important to EJ than screwing me up. Oh, damn it Stephan.

I am not gonna wait into your sibling rivalry. I know this baby means too much to EJ to just blow off this appointment so he could love a grenade into this family feud. EJ has moved heaven and earth to get us this appointment with this doctor, and I know I trust that he’s gonna be there by my side for it.

Kristen, thank God you’re here. What? Who the hell did this to you with SCA and stuff in? No, it wasn’t that I, our bloody sister, Megan, but maybe you already know that. Excuse me. Maybe you were a part of this. I knew you two had your heads together plotting something. Oh my God. I had no idea what she was planning.

I just came down here looking for some champagne. Thank God you did. Okay. I know rational thought is not her strong suit, but did she give you a reason why she tied you up down here? She wanted to stop me from stopping her from killing our brother, Stephan.

As a thought experiment. Let’s just say I’m wrong, which I’m not. Almost never am. Let’s just say that Dimitri is vibing with you the way you’re vibing with him. Even if that were true. Aren’t you still licking your wounds from your ZA to break up? Yes, but I suppose I am, but. I mean, it’s not the worst way to get over someone.

Is it having a sexy, dangerous, probably very rich hotty to distract you. A sexy, dangerous, probably very rich Heidi who has made it clear he wants to kill me. Your best friend or so you claim it’s not a claim. It’s true. But think about it, Matty, if I can keep spending time with Dimitri and he thinks of me as the.

Bees knees, or however you put it, then I might even be able to talk him out of wanting to throw you against or through a wall every time he sees you. And maybe just maybe I can show him that you are not the obnoxious, incredibly annoying person that he and everybody else on this planet seems to think you are.

Okay. I’m not ruling out the possibility of dealing with Dimitri, but right now we just need to stay focused. I’m getting rid of Megan. Okay. Megan is the more pressing threat. No doubt. So what’s your, your time schedule? Well, why put off until tomorrow, which you can get done today. Okay. Call me when you’re done.

Aj, where are you?

Hi, aj. It’s me again. You know, at first I was really pissed off that you skipped town and didn’t return any of my phone calls or texts, but now I’m, I’m just worried I’m. I’m at the hospital for our appointment about the baby. Hopefully you just lush your phone and you’re on your way.

Well, well, well brother off to the office. Someone’s gotta keep this company running. Little Birdie told me EJ took another day off. Must have found a couple of palm trees in a hammock. Well, I hope he’s enjoying every moment of it. Life is fleeting and one day we’re all gonna look back and have tons of regrets.

All those woulda, coulda, should us. So live it up while you can. Seize the day as much as I’m enjoying this little Ted talk, Megan, I can’t help but wonder if you’ve had a chance to go over the proposal Gabby and I put together for you.

Well, it definitely sparked some ideas and left me with a few burning questions, but that time is precious and I don’t wanna keep you. Mm. We’ll talk later, right?

Assuming you’re still alive.

Hello, Donny.

I read the article in The Spectator Impressive. It seems that Ms. Rizek is already smitten with you. It oozes out of every sentence. Thank you. Well, uh, to be honest, I’m quite smitten with her as well. Wonderful. Well, perhaps you ought to go see her. Keep the momentum going. Perhaps I will. You know, before I go, uh, mother, I was just speaking to Aunt Kristen and well, she mentioned something.

She mentioned that she were putting together an army. What exactly is it that you’re doing, mother?

Whatever I do my. It’s with you in mind. So you just go sweep that British journalist off her feet and move us closer to our goal. Right.

By the way, where is that sister of mine now? Oh, she, uh, she said something about grabbing a bottle of champagne from the basement. Yeah, I’m sure if you checked, she’d still be there right now. Bye mother.

Why would Megan wanna kill Stephan? Would you be so kind as to undo these bloody nods while we play 20 questions we need to him? Yes.

Okay. These are. Oh my god, these are tied pretty tightly. Yes, I’m well aware of that. Uh, speaking of difficult, not to mean, there was this, um, game that Brady and I used to play. Oh, no, no, no. Not now, not ever. Fine fight. Fine, fine, fine. Just go on about Megan and her motives. She said she was motivated to eliminate Stephan because she wanted to reshuffle the family power dynamics.

Oh God. That it would be some sort of means to whatever twisted ends, she’d conjured up in her disease brain. Well, I need to find something to cut those ropes with, so just hang tight. I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

Sorry, but I cannot support this burgeoning fake romance between you and the venomous bond leischner, even if you could convince that creep to solve all the world’s problems, including climate change, inflation, threat of nuclear war, and rehabbing my reputation. Okay, fine, fine, fine. You’ve made your point.

I sure as hell hope so, because I see a whole lot of ambivalence in those big, soulful eyes of yours. Well, I’m fighting that ambivalence. Okay. I mean, what if your instincts are right, Matty? What if he’s just playing me like a fiddle just to get good press? What if I’m acting like a silly little school girl who has a crush on the jock who can’t even remember her name?

Hey. Hey, uh, I wanna thank you for letting your divorce with Gabby go through so smoothly. She and I are, uh, you know, yeah, I know soon to be married. I’ll keep an eye out for my invitation. I’s knew Gabby would end up with the love of her life.

Speaking of you, thank you. I told Gabby her happiness means a lot to me, so, um, When’s the big day? End of next month.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you.

Too bad you won’t live long enough to say. I do.

So, is it fair to assume that you no longer have any queries about whether or not our system, Megan, is utterly unhinged? You know, I swear I had no idea what she was planning. Okay. I’ll admit, I will admit that when she pitched the these grandiose ideas of picking up where Stefano left off and conquering the world, I did go along with it.

Oh, but she is so much more deranged and sadistic than I thought. You know what? We could be her next victims after she’s done with Stephan. Seems inevitable, but at this point, Nicole might just push Megan outta the way to get to me first.

I need to finally,

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you know, something in here has gotta lead us. Abraham partner, he just didn’t disappear off the face of the earth. Don’t worry, man. We’re gonna find him. Won’t stop until we do.

Paulina, I thought you were still in the hospital. No, I was released upon my insistence that my blood pressure would improve as soon as I was outta that damn bed and helping with the search for my husband. Any news? Well, Paulina, we just. Started Combin through all this evidence Salem P just sent us. Oh.

Oh, that’s good. That’s good. Yeah, I know. If you want the case done right, you need black patch on the job. Damn. Abe is always singing your praises. What do we got?

Nothing. You got nothing.

I am honored. And humbly accept this position as your mayor. Woo.

How can this be true

of Salem? Alina said, I said I run an ice cream shop.

What the hell’s going on here? AJ made a mistake. Office ass. Hey, we tried and under the heading of the Pride Goeth before the fall, you and I aren’t the only ones eating who needs to worry about taking him down. He’d be a fool to not know that. You know, I don’t trust any of my siblings, but Megan, there’s something exceptionally deranged about her.

No arguments here. I mean, EJ and Kristen. They have their limits. Right. But Megan, I don’t think there’s any line she won’t cross in order to get what she wants.

What we talked about, taken Stepan down by any means necessary. Yes, I’m in Wise decision, Mr. Shin, that I’m sure that with your help. My brother is not long for this world. Is that so? So what’s the next step? How soon we’re gonna put this plan in motion?

I’ve gotta go ej, I didn’t see there. Obviously not. Or I doubt you would’ve been standing here in my living room plotting my demise,

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

Well, Paulina, I wouldn’t exactly say we have nothing. We’re running down every possible lead and none has panned out. Trust me, if it’s in here, we’re gonna find it. Okay. How can I help? What can I do? Well, listen, rave told us that the last person to see Abe in the hospital was a nurse named Whitley King.

That’s right. Uh, that’s right. And I, I talked to her. She said she. She didn’t know anything. Yeah. You feel sure about that? Believe me, I got everything out of Nurse Whitley that I could. She said she saw Abe in his room before he disappeared, and she had no idea what happened to him after that. I am honored and humbly accept this position as your mayor.

Woo.

What the hell? Just doesn’t make any sense.

I guess I, I won’t get any answers until Paulina comes home.

We now return to our regularly scheduled program, body and Soul. All right. Tell me, Cassandra, what is this so-called a, you have up your designer knockoff sleeve. I know the truth. Charlamagne,

what truth is that? That it was you. Who held re’s twin brother thrust against his will?

You know much as I think you’re perfect for me anyway. Sometimes I find myself wishing why I thought I was born into a nice, normal family. How’d you guess? Well, I wish for the same thing, but. Nice and normal. Doesn’t get you mansions all around the world servants. Billions of dollars in assets, all of which I do appreciate.

Mm, so I’ve noticed too bad a constant war with your siblings comes as part of the package. You know what? I don’t want it to be part of the package. So to hell with all the demer shenanigans, the power struggles, the backstabbing me. Overall Demara insanity. I’m done worrying about what my brothers and sisters are planning.

Are you really? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, for tonight. Okay. Well, tonight is a start. Okay, so how would you like to pass the time then? How would I, I, I would like to pass the time by focusing on my beautiful fiance. I like the sound of that.

Lee do when I didn’t hear you come in. Well, I did not expect you to be back so soon, so. How was your visit with father? Oh yeah. You know, it was, um, fine. Fine, huh? Not demoralizing and or infuriating. He sends his love. Mm. And also unsolicited advice about how I need to pick Johnny Demara over Dr. Tri then start settling down and producing grandchildren.

Am I right? He may have said those things. I wasn’t religious thing. Which is always an excellent way to go when it comes. Tohin a k a dear old dad, but enough about him. What was this plan you were talking about? Plan. I heard you on the phone when I walked in. You were asking about some next steps and a big plan, so why don’t you tell me what you’re up to, bro.

Plot in your demise. That’s ridiculous. Who are you talking to? That’s not what you think. Oh, it’s exactly what I think, and I should call the police right now. And tell them what, that you’re violating the terms of your release that you’re intending to commit frat side and should be back behind bars where you belong.

But as you know us to mirrors, we prefer to settle our own scores. And what does that mean? It means, dear sister, that you have greatly underestimated me. If you think that I’m going to be an easy target, you are sadly mistaken, which is why you are finished here, finished pack up your things. I want you out of this house immediately.

You can’t kick me out of this house. Oh, I just did. I have as much right to be here as any of Stefano’s children. Wrong. You have no rights at all where this house is concerned. That’s a lie. It belonged to father. It used to belong to father, but since he’s passing it has changed hands many times. Stefan was in possession of the D before his untimely death, upon which his widow Gabby inherited it.

But once I returned to Salem, I convinced the bank to transfer the mortgage back into my name, meaning I decide whose eyes under this roof. No, that can’t be true. Oh, it’s true. And it’s happening. So instead of darkening my doorstep, why don’t you go and stay with whomever you were conspiring with on that phone,

Molly? Out with it. Let’s hear about this plan of yours. It’s none of your concern, Jing Ween and just because we live together doesn’t give you an all access pass to my personal life. Oh, so it’s a personal plan, not business. Well, now I’m really curious. Just let it go Jinen. Why should I? We both know, I’m gonna find out eventually, especially since I’m just gonna keep hounding you and hounding you, and generally making your life miserable until one day you finally can’t take more, okay?

Okay. Okay, fine. I’ll tell you. Yeah, I knew I’d get you to crack. So what is it? What’s this big plan?

I’ve hired a matchmaker.

No worries. You’re so mad. I’m yours.

Yeah, Roman. Thanks for the update. Keep us posted. What did he say? Well, he is retracing the officer steps thinking maybe they missed something. But so far no luck. But don’t worry, he’s still working on it. Oh, well it does make me feel better knowing that all the Abe’s best friends are on the case. Listen, it’s just a matter of time before we catch a break.

Oh, I just, I just hate waiting. Ah, I feel so helpless. That is not something that I’m used to. We kinda know better than most what it’s like to worry about someone that you love. Of course you do. If anybody knows what I’m dealing with, this, uh, you two and Roman, you, you thought that your wives are lost to you forever.

Yeah, but they weren’t. And Abe isn’t lost to you either. Paulina, your husband’s coming home to you.

When is she going to be back? Need answers answer me, Charlamagne. How long did you really think that you could keep it a secret? Keep What a secret. Oh, don’t play dumb. I know that you held thrust against his will while the entire town was searching for him. Admit it.

Well answer her Charlamagne.

Hey Bob, did you miss me? Helena? Oh, look at you. I see you watching my show. I knew you were gonna get into Body and Soul.

Oh, you didn’t have to stop it on my account. It’s just getting to the good part. Besides, I have to put away all the groceries before the frozen fish sticks start to haw. Those fish just can wait. You and I need to talk. Oh, that sounds serious. What’s this about? Go for starters. Why the hell didn’t you tell me that?

I was mayor of this town. Mayor, yes. Mayor of Salem. Now, what the hell else are you lying to me about?

I know I’m not the first person dealing with a missing loved one. Oh, dear God. Not knowing where Abraham is, seeing him in my mind’s eyes suffering, terrified, wondering why the hell he hasn’t been rescued yet, Paul? Oh, I guarantee you that wherever it is, he knows for a fact and you, all of us, we’re searching high and low for him, but we’re not gonna give up.

He knows that. And don’t forget, Abe is a very recognizable figure in this town. If he’s lost here in Salem, someone’s gonna recognize him and run him right home, but no one has. So what, what, what are you saying? I mean, if Colin Bedford doesn’t have Abe stashed away somewhere, he hasn’t wandered off, where else could he be?

You got your memory back. No. I was watching your soap opera when they cut in to a press conference of me making an acceptance speech for Salem’s mail race. Press conference now. What the hell’s going on here? You told me that I owned an ice cream shop. You did own an ice cream shop baby, that the, these tapes are 15 years old and you admit I was elected mayor.

Well, yes. Yes. But your time in office was short-lived, and after that you soured on politics and then you opened your ice cream shop, which was very well run, by the way. Well, why was I mayor for only a short time? Well, you know, things happen. What happened? Oh, aim Now answer me, dammit. What happened? Well see.

Once you were elected, your political rival had you impeached for no good reason what it was. My rival, a horrible, horrible man named EJ de.

You don’t have to do this, ej I I. You have it all wrong. I wasn’t trying to hurt you. I’m done with this discussion. I can have Harold pack your bags and put them in the car. I can have them simply thrown on the street. You decide I am not leaving this house. Oh, you won’t go quietly. Fine. I’ll just have security remove you.

Life force. You don’t want to do that. Oh, just when I think you’ve joined us in the modern age. What a matchmaker. Really, what do you think I should do? Uh, have you ever heard of dating apps? They work for everyone else living in this century. I’m sure they do, but the idea of finding love through swiping doesn’t really appeal to me.

Mm. So you decided to hire an old, busy body to find you a girlfriend, someone who understands me and what I’m looking for. Yes. Father talked to you into this, didn’t he? I made my own decisions. Jing, when. And why wait, considering what came in the mail today?

Your final divorce papers? My marriage to Gabby is officially dead. Thanks to the man who killed it.

Oh my God.

I think I just saw my life flash before my eyes. So French, call it the little dad. Oh, not a bad way to go. No. Come here. I just can’t believe we’re here again in this house, in this bed. I’m sorry. It’s not the mess. We, we will reclaim that soon enough. I don’t care what bedroom we’re in, as long as we’re together, out in the open and happy.

Oh, very happy. Very, very happy. And soon we’re gonna be husband and.

What is it? What’s wrong? I dunno. I dunno. I guess I just afraid to let myself be this happy again. The last time we were married, you were taken from me. Happy. Don’t think about that. It’s all in the past. I can’t. I just let it go. I. I cannot not. How do I just not remember that? I, I thought you’d been killed.

I thought that I’d lost you forever. I thought my own life was over. I’m sorry. That like I

we’re here together.

Whatcha thinking?

Stephan, how do you know that something awful isn’t waiting for us around the corner again, because it’s not Gabby, we were given a second chance and we would be fools not to take it. History’s not gonna repeat itself. I promise. I promise when everything I hold dear, nothing or no one will take me away from you again.

Let go of my hand, not until you listen to me. All right, then gimme one good reason why I shouldn’t have you thrown out on your lying murderous as with the rest of the rubbish. Because it is not you. I’m planning to kill you, idiot. It’s.

Hm, A few more of those little deaths. I might experience the real thing. Would you stop? What? Don’t joke like that. I’m serious. We don’t know how strong Jake’s heart is. Don’t stop it. Don’t say that too dark. Isn’t that what you love about me? One of the things, one of the many things. Oh, I love you too. You ready for round three?

All ready? I was gone. For too many years and we have some serious making up to do. Okay, well, how about we move this bucket to the shower, then I like where your head’s at. Tell you what. Why don’t you go into the bathroom, make sure the water’s nice and hot. All cut down in the kitchen, have cook. Fix us a nice romantic dinner on the terrace while we’re done.

Girl could get used to that. That’s the plan. All right. Go.

I’m sorry, Lee. It’s not like I wasn’t expecting it. Still, I’m staying hitting black and white. Can’t be easy. You okay? I live. You win some, you lose some, right?

You know what I gotta say? This feels like progress. My divorce. You accepting your divorce? I mean, you aren’t tearing the room apart. You aren’t blotting some desperate scheme to try and hold onto. Gabby, I’m really proud of you, Lee, for finally moving on.

You want to kill Stephan? What has that brother ever done to you? Well, it’s nothing personal, really nothing personal. Said the Cobra as has swallowed the gerbil. Let’s just say, I wanna shake the table a bit. What the hell does that mean? It means that with Stephan outta the way, Gabby will be vulnerable, freeing up power in the family and the company.

So this is about you wanting more of father’s fortune. You are reel that heartless. You would do that to your own flesh and blood. Spare me the melodramatic soliloquy on Demira family loyalty.

Father wasn’t above eating his young, metaphorically speaking. At least I hope. If you think father would want Stefan’s own sister to kill him, then you didn’t know him at all. And you did Elvis. You think his legacy belongs to you? The little boy who he sied with a buck tooth IMB via Turkey baster. Don’t you dare speak about my mother again.

Oh, get over yourself, junior. Your self righteousness is beginning to bore me. E. Besides what do you care what happens to Stephan? Because he’s my brother and he’s a decent human being. Oh, come on. You two have been fighting for months now. You can’t think he’s that decent. Look the way I see it, Stephan’s untimely death could be good for both of us.

It would help us both. Think about it, EJ with one less Tamara in the picture. There’d be a much bigger slice of lip pie for you and I, right? Father,

we believe that someone other than Bedford is holding you Captain. But who and why? Well, we don’t know yet, but Abe is a very powerful and influential man with an equally formidable wife with a serious bank account. Well, but if this is about money, why haven’t they contacted me for ransom? Because we’re not sure.

It’s money they’re after. Well then what the hell are you sure about? I’m, because it feels like you’re guessing and my husband’s life is at stake. Oh, whoa, Paul. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. I didn’t, I didn’t mean to snap at you. It’s just, I, I’m so frustrated. More than frustrated.

I’m losing my mind here. Listen, we understand. Believe me. I know. I know, I know. I know. You’re doing your best. And I know you love Abe too. Well, that’s a fact. We do. It’s just, you know, so hard I going to the worst case scenario. I mean, oh, we know baby. He could, could be. He could be. No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay.

No, no. Okay. I’m not going there. We’ll not go there. I will not. Okay, good. And we won’t either. Now listen, Abe is one of the toughest dudes I know. He is a survivor and wherever he is, he’s gonna survive this too.

You keep calling me a good and honest man. Oh, you are baby. You are a honest day. That’s what they always call you. You know, my memory may not be much, but I know that. Honest. A is someone else. Okay. But you are a great man too. And why was I impeached? Uh, that’s not really something that you usually like to talk about.

I want to talk about it now. Okay. Okay. Well, it was all sparked by your rival EJ Demara. When he, uh, accused you of cheating, and somehow he was able to prove it, so I did cheat. Oh, it, it isn’t that simple. You wanted to win because you wanted to serve the great citizens of Salem. You knew that you were the best man for the job.

I cheated to when? No, no. It was your shady campaign manager who put you up to it? Jennifer Horton. Jennifer Horton. Does that name sound familiar? Vaguely. I, uh, who is she? To me? Just nobody. Nobody that you need to know. Just not a good person. And this, uh, well, my opponent, uh, ej, this character ej, uh, what happened to him?

Well, uh, ej uh, unfortunately is, uh, still the mayor of Salem. In fact, for many, many years, he’s the most popular mayor that we’ve ever had. Even more so than Doug Williams.

This doesn’t feel right. Just doesn’t feel right. Well, why do you say that, baby? Well, I mean every, everything you. You’re telling me about my life. Every bone in my, my body

is telling me it’s different.

Are you okay? Pooky? I, I hate to see you so upset. It just, It’s just jarring seeing yourself on video like that. It, it’s, it, it, I ever try my hand in politics again. I mean, after, after the impeachment. I’m afraid not. It was all so painful that you want to leave that messy world behind you and stick to what you know best.

Ice cream making people happy, right? Oh, you know, maybe losing your memory is not such a bad thing. How do you figure? Well, most people are bogged down by memories of the past and the baggage that they have to carry of all the mistakes that they’ve made and all the pain that they’ve endured. But, but not you, you, you have a clean slate.

You get to start fresh. You have a live in the present. Right, right. Memories. The memories are what we are. Paulina. I mean, I, I don’t even know what kind of man I am without a memory. I. Do you understand? You know what, it is getting late. I better start that dinner. You must be so hungry. Yes, I, I got fish sticks coming up hot soon.

I really am proud of you, Lee. So you keep saying no. Hey, bear is repeating. I mean, when I think of all the crazy things you did to try and keep Gabby around, having stuff brainwashed, uh, using your Demer shares to try and bribe her into staying with you. Okay. Do we have to go down the whole painful list?

Okay. I’m just saying I hated seeing you like that. So obsessed. I wouldn’t say I was obsessed. You wouldn’t really, I mean, Again, you brainwashed a dude. I loved Gabby, and I believe that when you love someone, you fight for them, right? But there’s fighting and then there’s lying, kidnapping, blackmail. Let’s be real here, Lee.

Okay, you, you morphed into this Lovesick maniac that I didn’t even recognize. You lost all perspective where Gabby and Stephan were concerned. You’re exaggerating. Am I? Lee, you are out of control. Hey. It really worried me, which is why I am so relieved that you’re finally over Gabby and you put all of this behind you before you could do something that you couldn’t take back.

So did you make any special requests for our special dinner tonight? Mm, I made all sorts of special requests, but. I’m not telling you what they were. Oh, come on. I know it’s a surprise. You’re such a tease. I know I am. But you love it. I promise. You’re not gonna be disappointed, but you have to wait till we get downstairs to see for yourself.

Take a moment. Ej. Imagine the possibilities. Chad is no longer interested in Demara Enterprises. Tony semi-retired. Happy to globe trot around the world with that vapid wife of his, with Stephan out of the way. Father’s legacy is ours for the taking. Aren’t you forgetting someone? Am I Kristen, you are co-conspirator.

That was her on the phone earlier. Wasn’t it enough with the 20 questions? Are you gonna keep my plans for Stephan to yourself or not? Sorry Megan. I may have done some despicable things in my life, but I’m not going to conspire to kill my own brother. Where are you going to warn Gabby and Stephan?

Oh, look at what you’ve made me do.

I’ve taken up enough of your time. I should leave so you two can concentrate on finding my husband, Paul. Listen, we know how brutal it can be to wait these things out. And you know what? You’re welcome to stay in our guest room if you like. No, no, no, no. Chanel will be waiting for me at home. Make me a promise.

Oh yeah. What’s that? That you will not rest until you find my Abraham. We’re gonna bring him home, Paulina, whatever it takes. And that’s a fact.

Oh, you’ve gotten mad Cassandra. I didn’t have to hold thrust against his will. He was with me because he wanted to be with me the hell he was. How else would have gotten him to stay away from his family for so long? Oh, I’ll tell you how. Because just like his brother, Rhett, he had amnesia.

Well thrust and red hat amnesia. What are the odds of that? You know what? That’s enough of the stories for one date. Why don’t we play a fun game of checkers?

Okay, that is enough. Talk about Gabby for one night. Tell me about this matchmaker. What do you wanna know? Everything. When is she gonna start hooking you up with Salem’s most eligible woman? Well, I just signed up today and like you heard when you walked in, we still need to iron out a plan of action.

Right. And, uh, we know for sure that this matchmaker is solid. How did you find her or him? I just searched matchmakers and the one I chose was well. She has tons of great reviews as in the business, apparently. So then tell me what was said about her and the reviews. I mean, Hmm, let’s see. Well, the one that stood out to me was when it comes to giving her clients their heart’s desire, she’s known for having quite the killer instinct.

Oh, thank God for these secret passageway. Hey, ej, can’t very well carry you through the front door, so what am I gonna find out? What’s being served? Cook said he’s going to. On the Paris when I heard somebody in there,

it’s weird. I, I could have sworn I heard a voice. Maybe it was you now who, what the hell happened here? You know, these cleaning ladies need to be a little more careful. Spaces worth of fortune. Well, I’m sure EJ has it. Heavily insured. Probably gonna end up making a fortune. Remind me to ask him about that.

Are we gonna stay here crying about broken pottery? Are we gonna go outside to check out that delicious dinner? You plan after you?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

4:00 AM in Hong Kong. I wonder, I feel like crap. Survived a life consultation with Father and come back to Bills.

And this,

that must be death wrapping out my door.

Close enough. Hello, Mr. Shin. I’m Megan. I know who you are. You’re Megan Hathaway, the one who stole that crystal from me, please. It was never really yours in the first place. And it’s Megan Deira. Yeah. Well it’s great catching up. Not so fast. You and I have important business to discuss.

Yeah. More. There you are. Oh, somebody’s in a good mood. I just got the best news ever. Yeah. My divorce, Lee, it’s final. You are looking at a single woman. Oh, not for long. You hear that? What? What? Wedding bells in the distance of getting closer all the time. Oh, Stephan, I cannot wait to be your wife and I can’t wait to be your dooring husband.

And as Salem’s preeminent power couple, you’ll have the world by the colons. Yes. We’ll, oh, I wouldn’t be so about that.

Oh, hey Eric. Hi. Hey. Any news with Abe? No. Sloan’s brother continues to deny that he’s had any involvement in his disappearance. Sloan believes him. So does Rave. Yeah. Well, I’ll keep praying that they find Abe soon.

Hey, wait,

how are you? How’s everything going? I assume you’re talking about the pregnancy. I mean, EJ and I have a meeting with the Perinatologist tomorrow, you know, specialist for high risk pregnancies. Right. Well, I hope everything works out. That should tell you that you can have e j’s, baby

lady whistleblower can blow it out as whistle. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Sarah and Xander are over for good. There’s no reason to think that that would change.

Okay. You can do this. Funny girl. You can keep Sarah’s pregnancies. See if get easy peasy. Just gotta stay away from Xander. Some just don’t. Okay. Yes, I heard you coming. How did you know it was me? Uh, can’t you see why you’ve got those clo hoppers? I mean, they make a certain flop every step you take and people could hear miles away.

I don’t have particularly big feet. And they certainly don’t flop, do they? No, no, no, no. Don’t do, don’t you come near me. Just, just, just, just please stay the hell away from me.

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

Displaced. It was only to freak out. Oh, wait, I know exactly why this is happening. You do. Who told you? No one told me. I just know I, you’re still afraid of me because I. Held you captive, disguised as a killer clown. Yes. That’s, that’s why I freaked out when I saw you. Yeah, I understand. Probably having trauma flashbacks, a big flopping clown shoes coming towards you.

I clown feet is exactly right. Boy, I wasn’t wearing CLA shoes when I kidnapped you. It’s true, but you know what? That’s not really important. The important thing is that that is just so far in the past and I’ve forgiven you, and I know you would never, ever do anything like that again. And the only reason that you were driven to do such dastardly deeds is because he wanted to provide for Sarah and what husband wouldn’t wanna provide for his wife.

Huh? Huh uh, ex-wife. Sarah’s your ex-wife. Two are divorced, she is gone and she is never coming back and you two are never getting back together. He’s Bonnie Leon thick. I’m sorry, I really stepped in. I just know that I meant well. Please meant well, but reminded me how much Sarah needs me. Oh, but she doesn’t, I mean, it’s not hate that she feels, I mean, how would I know how she feels now?

E, even if it is hate that she feels that could change. Because you know what? Things can change. You know what they say? Nothing is for certain except for death. And babies of change. Death attacks isn’t change. Right? Those things are definitely certain. Oh yeah. Ooh, glad we’re on the same page. It is hot here.

I’m gonna get going. Okay. Bonnie, if you have forgiven me and you’re not scared of me anymore, Then why did you shriek and run away when I walked in?

Well, there are no guarantees, but a lot has changed since Holly and there have been some major advancements in the treatment of high risk pregnancies like mine, right?

I hope they tell you some really good news tomorrow. I mean, after everything you’ve been through, you really deserve this.

Yeah. I don’t know about deserving it, but I am happy that maybe I get to be a mom again.

Okay. Yeah. You, you take care of yourself. Yeah. You too,

isn’t it? A little too early in the morning for a drink brother. Shouldn’t you be heading to the office? I would like to wine, wine first, if that’s all right with you. Tough morning. Just somewhat intense, but in a good way. We do get a lot of research trying to find the best possible specialist for Nicole and flying in an expert tomorrow, uh, perinatologist, who will hopefully tell us that Nicole will be able to carry out Charles the time well, I really hope it works out for you guys as you are.

Thank you. And the timing could be perfect because by that time you’ll likely be free. You know? Once the little one comes around and you could be a stay at home dad. It’s like a trend now, isn’t it? All my days will be anything but free when this child is born. You see, I’ll be very busy ensuring that my son or daughter inherits the legacy of our father’s company.

So I will be doing everything on my power to stop Salem’s most incompetent couple from leaving it in ruin.

You don’t have the votes to stop us ej, nor do you have the votes to stop me. No. We damn well do because not only do we have each other’s vote we have Kristen. Kristen. Yes, I know you believe you’ve secured her support. I also know how to be quite mercurial mercurial. Fickle tends to turn on a dime, as I’m sure you two have observed, but that notwithstanding, I have secured our other sister’s vote.

So you may have Kristen’s support. For the time being, I most assuredly have Megan’s, I assume you still have eyes and ears of the company, Mr. Shin? I do. So then you are aware of the fact that there is a power struggle brewing, hard to mess trust. You’re here representing ejs interests. I am here representing my own interests.

You see, my little brother Elvis is a sweet boy, but when it comes to being ruthless in cutthroat, he doesn’t batten my league. Well, you must know I’m out at Tamara, so not quite sure you still have a vote, which I promised to Gabby Hernandez. Who is madly in love with my other half-brother Stephan. So you’ve pledged your loyalty to a woman who’s pledged hers to another man, Wiley.

Why are you going to let someone who used you and betrayed you, keep you from getting what you want?

Chloe. Hey. Hey. I hope I’m not interrupting. No, of course not. Come here and of, oh, I’ve missed you, my friend. We have fairly spoken since I left Basic black. Uh, yeah, it’s my bad. I I should have been better at keeping in touch. No, the phone works both ways. How, how are you, how’s it been teaming up with EJ at the mothership?

Oh, well that’s been eventful, in fact. Um, Life in general has been pretty eventful. Mm. Well, now you’ve got my attention. What’s been going on with you? Well, for starters, uh, I’m pregnant.

Hey, hey, how’s your meeting Go with the da. It’s a disaster actually. My brother’s still refusing to plead guilty and trusts out for blood.

He’s facing a lot of time in prison for what he did up on that rooftop. There’s nothing really I can do to help him.

I know what he did was unspeakable to Mayor Carver and Paulina Chanel. But you know, he’s, he’s still, my family’s is the only family I have left. You have me. I’m here for you.

Huh? So now you wanna know why I freaked out when I saw you? Yeah, you totally freaked out on me. I mean, why did you scream at me to get back? Well, because I feel cold coming on and I didn’t want you to catch it. And you know that feeling when you just have the s just going, oh. When was that? Was that sneeze or a cough?

Oh, both. I’m sorry, my nose is running and my throat’s kinda scratchy. Ooh, I should, I should just probably be wearing a, a mask, you know? I don’t wanna infect people with myy germs. Yeah. So, right. Yeah. Look, I was actually looking for a Maggie shirt around upstairs, I think. Okay. You know what? I’m just, I’m just gonna get the long way around.

Understand this. Hey, it’s a good idea. You probably, yeah. Should go.

Oh wow. She’s pregnant. What? She told you she’s pregnant? No, she didn’t tell me. I just got a news alert. A news alert? Yeah. But you just said she told you she was Bonnie, who do you think was pregnant?

I mean, I wish I could have helped him. If I would’ve known what was going on, I could have stepped in. I could have tried to stop him. It’s, you’re here for him now. He’s damn lucky to have you in his corner. This big sis is there for thanks. I’m lucky to have you in my corner.

Sorry, Eric, I just can’t risk losing you to Nicole. This baby ends up being yours. That test has to come back negative.

When I said someone was pregnant, who did you think I meant? Who? Um, who it was, was the. The person you said was pregnant is who I thought it was. Knew. So you knew that Nicole was pregnant? Nicole, of course I knew. But have lady at Whistleblowers column only just published to the site. She just published on the maybe for.

You, it just published, but I, I just happened to be one of Lady Whistleblower’s premium. I. Subscribers. Mm-hmm. Oh, you’re a little blowy. Ah, that’s me. Not really fond of that name, but uh, then again for 4 99 a month, I get all the dish on Salem’s hot dos before the general public. I see. Yeah. Well, we’re happy to have you.

I’m so glad I approved that revenue stream. Oh, me too. I wouldn’t wanna be in the dark when the next big secret drops. I hate to be the last one to know about that stuff. Right. Yeah. Well, anyway, I really should find Maggie, who’s great, catching up better. What do you have to tell Maggie? Anything juicy? I, well, I don’t think it’s anything that Lady Whistleblower would report on, but Maggie offered me Alex’s job at Titan, but I’m gonna turn her down.

Oh, sander. But I bet that position pays big bucks. It does, but as much as I love Maggie, I, all right. Being my own boss at the Spectator just means so much to me. Ah, I don’t wanna sabotage what’s happening between me and Chloe, between you and Chloe Lane. Do you know any other clothes? Kardashian, but that’s with a K.

Please don’t tell me you and Chloe are an item. Well, I don’t know if I’d use that exact term, but since she’s someone that I greatly admire, I’m happy to say that we are somewhat involved. Somewhat. What does somewhat mean exactly? How involved are you? Two? Wait, I’m sorry. So. You were saying that you cheated on EJ with Eric?

No, no, no. I did not cheat on ej. I just had a a one night stand with Eric, and it was while we were under the influence of those damn hallucinogenic biscuits. So it was just that one time. Yeah. You guys didn’t use birth control? Well, we were higher than kites, Chloe. Oh, so you didn’t know who the baby’s father was, but now you know.

Yes. I had a paternity test done. And I found out that EJ is the father, and it’s such a relief. But now my biggest concern is if I can carry this baby to term, and I know I don’t have to tell you, it’s, it’s been my biggest problem. Right. And if you need me again too, Nicole, I’m here. No, no, Chloe, thank you so much.

But there have been a lot of advances in treatments for high risk pregnancies, so EJ and I are gonna see specialists tomorrow to determine if I can carry this baby myself. Well, that’s so wonderful. I’m, I’m praying that you get good news. Me too. So is EJ happy? He is over the moon and you. Are you in love with ej?

He’s been so good to me. Wow. That does not answer my question Well, that is the best answer that I have for you right now, Chloe. Okay. Well, I know that you said you’re relieved that EJ is the father of your baby because you two are dating and Eric is now with Sloan. But no, no, no. Chloe, please do not go there.

I’ve had a hard enough day as it is, and I, since I already know what you’re gonna ask. No, no. I do not wish, nor have I been wishing that Eric is the baby’s father. What? What is that look? Just makes me think of that line from Hamlet. You know the one that goes, the lady doth protest Too much me thinks.

Eric, when I walked in here before you looked like you had something weighing on you. Oh, please. You’ve been here for me. I wanna be here for you too. Oh, my partners, right?

I ran into Nicole in the square. I see. You know what? Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this. No, no. It’s okay. You don’t have to hide your feelings from me, Eric. Look, I know how disappointed you are. How you wish. You’d have been the father of Nicole’s baby.

I would not put too much stock in Megan. I mean, aside from her being a homicidal mania. Oh, as opposed to Kristen. You mean post to child for rationality and trustworthiness? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. We, we, we both have seen Kristen and Megan put their heads together. You know, they joined forces to get out of prison, so obviously they’re thickest thieves.

So what makes you think they’re gonna stop now and dilute their power by voting separately? Gabby has a point. So ej, maybe it’s time you and I bury the hatchet and not in each other’s backs. So you are suggesting me what? Consolidate power of formal lines. That’s exactly what I’m suggesting for our sisters.

Take both of us down.

I know what it’s like to be slighted, rejected. And to lose the love of one’s life to someone who’s unworthy. Well, that just makes it all the more painful, doesn’t it? So you consider your brother unworthy, my half-brother, please. Birthed by the loaves from Living Aloma

inferior stock. Not to mention that she’s a total psycho. So if I’m reading you right, you’re assuming that my losing Gabby to Stephan and the resulting animosity I therefore harbor towards him and her would motivate me to become entangled in your machinations to take over the company by job. I think he’s got it.

No, not gonna happen. You see when it comes to being ruthless and cutthroat. I don’t batten your league either. Mr. Demara don’t be so modest. Mr. Shen. You see Kristen did fill me in on your own machinations to take over enterprises. How you seduced Gabby? How you brainwashed Stephan? And how you would’ve pulled the plug on him Had Kristen not stopped you?

No. Perhaps the next time that that swine is on death’s door, you won’t be quite so lucky, my son. You seriously considering killing your own brother?

You know, my father was a master chess player, used the game as a metaphor for life and taught me to do the same.

That doesn’t answer my question. I thought that was a rhetorical one. It wasn’t Mr. Shen. I see both of my brothers as kings. Slow moving pieces. Who can move only one step in every direction forward, backward, to the side or diagonally. Whereas I see myself as a queen who is free to move around the board in any direction she chooses.

Mm. But there’s one more queen on the board. Is there not? Gabriela Hernandez. Yes, and I have been watching her moves very closely. Turns out that she’s an emotional queen, isn’t she? She’s hotheaded, high strung one who might be easily knocked off her pants. By the elimination of her king, which is why I’ve come to you.

Now, speaking for myself, I can say that the thought of Hope Brady, with the man that I love leads me to impulses that can only be described as homicidal. So I ask you, Mr. Hin, as you sit here in your sister’s, Modest department. No job, no power. And no love. And then you think of the man that took all of that from you.

Can I safely assume that you might perhaps be feeling burned, humiliated? Would winked and therefore aching for retribution.

Megan is still fixated on Bo Brady and Kristen is obsessed with Brady Black. I doubt that they are in any shape to make any major moves. Hm, wrong. Unlike men, women are excellent multitaskers, and those two are no exception. They can chew gum and walk all over you at the same time. Believe me, the only woman I’m concerned about is the one in this room.

If I’m, again, foolish enough to ally myself with my brother, I know it won’t be long before he throws me over in an attempt to secure said woman my share of power. Okay. Gabby and I have made no secret of our aspirations, but maybe it’s time for the three of us to consider our life balance. Life balance.

What the hell are you talking about? You’re right about me and Stephan. My divorce from Lee just came through and Stephan and I are getting married and you have a new baby on the way. So you are suggesting, I am suggesting that there is more than enough money and power to go around De Marisol. The three of us can find a way to peacefully coexist and eliminate our mutual enemies.

Maybe just, maybe we can all start the next chapter of our lives with a modicum of harmony. What do you say, brother?

So it’s not about Nicole. I just, I really wanted to be a father. But between Judah’s pregnancy termination, and now this, maybe faith is just trying to tell me. It’s not in the cards for me. I don’t believe in fate or destiny or whatever else you wanna call it. And Eric, why isn’t it in the cards for you to have a kid?

Huh? It hasn’t happened just because. It just hasn’t happened. It doesn’t mean it can’t. You’re young, you’re healthy, so why don’t you have a baby with me?

Well, I’m protesting because it’s not helping Chloe, and it’s pretty insensitive too to suggest that I would rather have Eric be the father, especially since I told you he’s not. And, and, and what good does it do to wish otherwise? You are right. I’m sorry my friend. I’m, I’m sorry too. I, I know that you didn’t mean to upset me.

No, I, I didn’t, but you’re right. I was being insensitive. I wasn’t thinking. I look, Eric and Saloon are together now, and EJ and I are together, and EJ is my baby’s father, and I am so grateful. And he’s been nothing but sweet to me and patient. And we are committed to each other and this baby. Well, that’s good.

I’m, I’m happy for the both of you. I’m, I’m praying everything works out. Thank you. And what about you? What about me? I never imagined you working here at The Spectator. Yeah, me neither. But Sander offered me this job and. He doesn’t really take no for an answer,

so you and Sandra are working together and living together Uhhuh, and by the look on your face. Please do not tell me something is going on between the two of you.

Sandra, answer me. How involved are you with Chloe Lane? Why not see you care, Bonnie? Because I’m curious. That’s all. I’m sorry, but I’m not the kind to kiss and tell you kissed. Oh, come on. Spill it. Cat’s outta the bag here. All right. We did share one kiss. Actually, there were three kisses, but I got slapped the first two times.

Oh, so only one kiss where you didn’t get slapped. I’ve already shared too much Bonnie, and to be honest, I don’t really understand why you’re so interested in how many times I kissed Chloe or any other woman. I mean, Why is it with you? What’s going on, Bonnie? All right, I’ll tell you. Okay, Xander, you are making a huge mistake and you need to stop this kissing business with Chloe immediately.

Why? Why? Because of Sarah.

Bonnie, Sarah and I are divorced as you just brought up. She and I were, we’re through. We don’t even talk anymore. That’s beside the point. How is that beside the point, you may not be in touch. All right? But gotta believe me when I tell you, if you get serious with Chloe, it’ll hurt Sarah’s feelings. And you have to believe me when I tell you, Bonnie, that.

Sarah’s doesn’t give a damn what I do. She’s too busy doing whatever with Rex. No. No, she’s not. That’s what I thought meant. I saw her and saw what conditions she what You saw her, her condition. Is she okay? No, she’s fine. She, she’s fine. Yes. I saw her in Chicago when I went to visit Mimi. Okay, well, what’s, what’s the less about her condition?

Oh, I shouldn’t have said condition. I, I, I, men are we, wait, she’s slim. Very slim. Well, she’s not eating. Oh, no. She’s healthy, happy, happy, happy, happy. She, she hasn’t let herself go. Mm-hmm. Hmm. Good. Um. Happy for her that she’s staying fit. Yeah, it’s, it’s always a good thing. Mm-hmm. Well, it’s always a treat.

Catching up with you, Bonnie, but I really should find Maggie now ex I knowand. Really? You have to listen. I understand that you, you’re just trying helpful. But my relationship with Chloe is none of you concerned, and Sarah, she’s in the past. There’s no reason for either of us to give a damn what is.

You may think that right now, right after Sarah has the baby, You both are gonna feel very differently.

You kissed Xander? Well, I kissed him three times, but after the first two times I slapped him. So I’m not sure that those count. Oh God, I can’t believe this. Oh, come on. Listen, I know that he has a history of violence. Deceit. Have you forgotten that he left you in the clutches of a ruthless Mexican drug cartel?

Have you forgotten that? He locked me in a shark cage. He ruined my relationship. My marriage with Eric. I thought if anyone hated Xander as much as I do, it’s you. Okay? Maybe a few weeks ago I would’ve agreed with you, but. You know that people can change and the more that I’ve spent time with him, I’ve just, I’ve discovered that he has his charms.

So I, I, I don’t know what to say. It’s okay. I guess it was a bit audacious of me to suggest that we have a child together. We’ve not even been together that long, but I mean, we do love each other and we’re committed to one another. Why can’t I be the one to give you the child you’ve always wanted? Some slowness isn’t something we just decide in the wake of what happened with Nicole.

This has nothing to do with Nicole. This is about us. Eric, listen to me. I’ve lost both my parents. My brother is about to go away for a very long time. I know family’s important to you. It’s important to me too, but I let all of that get so twisted for, for the wrong reasons, his anger. A hatred, but I’m done with all of that because of you.

Because kindness and your patience, your love God have given me so much. I just, I wanna give you something that you’ve always wanted. Won’t you let me do that for you?

Sloan. I dunno. It just, it feels so, so sudden. Well, it was sudden for EJ too, but I’m sure he is over the moon about it. Yeah, he, he is de flame.

I dunno. I think that you deserve everything in this world. A little precious baby on the way. A blessing. Fiji Damira gets to be a father. Why shouldn’t you?

Well, brother.

Yeah, not interested brother, but if you and Gabby want to give up and go work on your life balance, I’ll be happy to accept your letter of resignation as co c e o of the company. Short of that shall just say that the best of

Gabby did love me once, so if something terrible should happen to Stephan. The vulnerable widow de mera could very likely turn to you for comfort. Even if she did, I moved on from her. I had to.

So you’re telling me that if I gave you the opportunity to get her back, And to get back at my brother at the same time you turn me down.

Think about it, Lee. The next move in my little game could very possibly be yours.

Oh my God, Justin, I almost totally blew it. You know me, I can talk my way out of anything. It wasn’t it very clever of me to come up with the idea that I had a bad cold. Oh. Ooh. Oh no. Oh, no, no, no. I, I think I really am getting sick.

Oh, God. Oh God. Oh God. No. God is punishing me for lying. He is.

Oh, he has his charms. What the hell is that supposed to mean? It means that he’s, he’s kind and he makes me laugh, and he’s a really good cook. Chloe, who cares if he makes you laugh and is a good cook? Zaner is the lowest of Lowe’s, and you know that as well as I do. No, not anymore. Well, that’s because you’re not thinking straight.

Xander is a horrible excuse for a human being. His smug, arrogant, exterior hides all that rotten inside. Oh, come on Nicole. That’s how you really feel. Don’t listen to your friends here. Nicole’s just full of Sarah grapes cuz she had her shot with me and she blew it. Oh, there it is. Stupid arrogance. You know, you really are full of it.

You were just, but her loss, no. Is your game, Chloe. If you’re not going to slap him again, please allow me.

So what do you think? Should we start trying? Not gonna answer me. My answer is, I love you better than I know slow. This isn’t something that we need to rush into and the timing is, Right. You’re still getting a big disappointment. Okay. Well, whenever you are ready to become a father, You know where to find me.

I’ll keep that in mind. You’ll definitely be the first to know.

AJ made a huge mistake. Pop his ass. Hey, we tried and under the heading of the Pride Goeth before the fall, you and I are the only ones EJ needs to worry about taking him down.

I just left you, Mr. Shin. Miss me already what we talked about, taken Stefan down by any means necessary. Yes. Amen. Why is decision Mr. Shannon. And I’m sure with your help, my brother is not long for this world.

Hello? Hey, Steph, still prepping for that Zoom meeting? Yeah, I just finished going over our proposal again and I think we’re in pretty good shape. You on your way? I’m actually not gonna be able to make it. Oh no. Why not? Is everything okay? I just have something I need to take care of. I’m sorry though. No worries.

I can, um, I can just drop by your place when I’m done and fill you in. I don’t know when I’m gonna be free, um, but I’ll let you know. I, yeah. Okay. I will talk to you later. Goodbye,

Sarah. Honey, will you. Relax. Of course, I’m gonna keep your secret. I am not gonna tell another living soul that you are pregnant with Ander’s baby. You betcha. Now you take care now, hun. Okay. Okay. Bye-Bye. Oh God. That girl has wound up tighter than a $2 watch. Hey Bonnie, you’re home. I didn’t know you were here.

I just got in this second. Oh my God. How I miss you? Oh, oh, I miss you. That was Chicago. Tell me everything.

Hey, bam. What’s this? Oh, just a major ad buy from Saxon’s department store. Excellent. Wow. That’s some bottom line. How’d you get ’em to fork over so much cash? Well, I happen to know Mr. Saxon from working at Basic Black and we always got along and I just turn on a little charm and he was putting my hands see.

Told you you’d be great at this job. Ain’t glad you didn’t quit. Yeah. Today’s been a really great day. Stress free. I think it’s because Gwen’s not around.

Gwen, did you order me room service?

You do. I know you. Oh, I should hope so. Since what happened in Phoenix changed the course of my life. Oh, right, Phoenix. I remember you now you’re agent Kyle Graham, of course. You and and Billy Reid were very cute together. Very Mr. And Mrs. Smith, any who? I’d love to stay in chat. That’s so fast, Mr. Stuck. You and I have unfinished business.

Do we? We do. And you’re not going anywhere until it’s finally settled.

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

Did I do something to offend you? Do stolen jewels ring a bell? Um hmm. No, not really. Oh, oh, you mean when I swapped out that priceless emerald for a phony? Is that what this testosterone driven posturing is all about? Because really it was just a silly prank. Nothing to get riled up about. Riled up a silly prank.

You know? Your silly prank ruined everything for me. Okay. Okay. I’m sorry. Really? I am. I didn’t know that my little caper was going to. Poor your evil plans for world domination. Listen to me, you simpering idiot. It wasn’t about world domination. It was about me becoming very, very rich. You cost me a fortune not to mention my own freedom, and now I’m going to make you pay.

So where is. Gwen. Anyway, apparently she scored some exclusive interview with Dimitri Vaughn. Ner Ner. Yeah, I heard that guy is kind of a dirt bag. Yeah. Unfortunately Dirtbag sell, but hopefully it’ll be good for our numbers and he keeps her out of your hair police for today. That is true. Well, I should get back to work or you could take a break.

I was hoping we could spend a little time together thought You think we should keep things professional here at the office? Absolutely. Professionalism is very important, but I can’t stop thinking about last night and specifically like it’s you. Me neither. So maybe Hello? You too. Oh, hi. Am I interrupting?

No, not at all. Maggie. Hi. Nice to see you. Hi. How are you, Chloe? What brings you by? Um, okay. Well, I’ll get right to the point. I don’t know if you’ve heard I had to let Alex go. I did. And good for you. Well, it might be good for you as well, sander. Because I would like to offer you Alex’s job.

Oh, hey. Hey. What are you doing here? Well, I just wanted to, oh, is this a bad time, Ms. Chad here? No, uh, he’s not. Oh, okay. Well, I just wanted to come by and tell you the good news. Well, I would love to hear some good news. What is it? I am officially employed again. Oh my gosh. That’s great. Mm-hmm. I told you Maggie would take you bash.

She needed some time to cool down. Yeah, yeah, you’re right. And she did offer to rehire me, but I turned her down.

Hey, Abby.

Can’t believe it’s been a whole year since we lost you,

and it seems like yesterday we were together. Happy raising Thomas and Charlotte.

I’m just thinking about having a new baby.

I think about it all the time.

We would’ve been successful, but we’ve had a boy girl, her,

hello. We would’ve been Christ. We were trying to juggle two kids and a newborn baby.

I know that we would’ve loved every minute of it, though.

I can picture it, you know. I could picture exactly what our lives would be like.

Sometimes it seems so real.

Feels like I never lost you.

Julie, I startled you. No, God, nevermind. You want your privacy? I’ll come back later. Please stay.

So, uh, did Thomas and and Charlotte get off? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It all worked out. Jack and Jennifer picked him up from the airport in Boston earlier. Oh, that’s great. They’ll have a lovely visit. Yeah, I hope so. I think they needed a change of scenery. Yeah. They’ve, they’ve been acting out a bit lately. I’m sure you noticed.

It’s my fault. Yeah. I should have. I didn’t talk to him, you know, and I know they know Subc consciously, and it’s the anniversary of their mother’s passing coming up. They feel it. You know, children always understand more than we give them credit for.

Abigail is watching over you, darling. I truly believe it. Yeah, I hope so.

I wonder what she would think about me and Stephanie. Wait, I don’t understand. You turned Maggie down. So how are you employed again? I took a job at Demara. What? My cousin Brady offered me a position at Basic Blank and I accepted. So you’re working for the competition? Mm-hmm. Wow. And, um, how does Maggie feel about that?

Let me get this straight. Sorry. You, you want me to work at Titan again? Well, I floated this idea before. Surely it can’t come as a complete surprise. What about Victor? He’d never approved and he’s barely spoken to me since I quit. It’s not up to Victor. The only person who needs to be on board with this decision is you so.

What do you say?

Isn’t my granddaughter the cutest? She’s adorable. Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you teaching Emily Poker? Well, yeah. You’re never too young to learn it’s math, which is what I tried to explain to Mimi and Rex, who weren’t too thrilled. I bet. So what’s going on with Sarah? What do you mean? Why on earth would you ask me about Sarah?

Well, she’s living in Chicago and she’s working with Rex, so I figured he must have mentioned her, right? Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Um, actually, I, I saw her. Oh, how is she? Oh, she’s good. I mean, she’s the same. Exactly the same. Hasn’t changed a bitch. The same old, same old. Oh, is it hot in here? Oh, hotter than Billy goat with a blow torch attack.

Need some water?

What’s going on with you? What you mean? What’s going on with me? Nothing. Well, you seem to be a little nervous. Bonnie is, there’s something wrong. Please don’t hurt me. I will give you anything you want. All I want right now is revenge. Okay. Well, if I can’t change your mind, can I please say one last thing?

Make it quick. Thank you, GWE. Save me Gwenie. Come and help me please. Going on here. What does it look like? He’s trying to kill me for heaven sake. You let him go. This is none of your concern, Gwen. Actually, it is because Maddy is my best friend, Maddy. Yeah. Maddy, you’re not the only with an alias. Kyle, do you have any idea what your best friend here did to me?

No, and I don’t care. Now, are you gonna stop this nonsense or am I gonna phone the police when I don’t think you understand? It doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is this. Do you want to go back to prison or not?

So you are really not worried about how Maggie feels? Hell no. Or Victor? Nope. Nope. Hell no. Especially after the way they treated me. I mean, come on. If, if, if Uncle Vic wasn’t so dismissive with his personal decisions, both Brady and I would still be working at Titan. And if Auntie Mag is such a good CEO O I’m sure she won’t mind a little healthy competition, I guess.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you the good news she probably get going before Chad shows up and finds us together. Don’t wanna piss off Chad. I don’t, I don’t think Chad’s showing up today. I’m pretty sure he is with Abigail. Yeah, Stephanie and, and, and I have been seeing each other for a while now. Yes.

Well, I like Stephanie. She’s a lovely person. She’s wonderful with your children, and you always seem happier when the two of you’re together. Well, I am. I still feel guilt. Guilty. You know, uh, being with someone who isn’t abbey, not always, sometimes today I do. I understand you love somebody as much as you liked Abigail, you’re always gonna feel her presence in your heart.

But I think Abigail would want you to make room in your heart or someone else, cuz Abigail would want you to be happy.

Yeah. She told me she wanted me to move on. What do you mean? Yeah. After we found out that Clyde was responsible for Abigail’s death, I came here. And I talked to her.

I know it sounds crazy, but she talked back to me. I swear to you, I saw her. I held her in my arms.

Well, that must have been comforting.

Yeah, it was.

Maybe it was just wishful thinking. You know, me telling myself what I wanted to hear, what I wanted myself to hear. Nothing is wrong with me. Nothing at all. Are you sure? Mm-hmm. Because, um, seem to be acting a little strange.

It’s just probably jet lag. Jet lag. Mm-hmm. You know, you drove Chicago and we’re in the same time zone. It’s true. Silly me.

Okay, sweetheart, I can tell something’s really upsetting you, so just talk to me. What’s going on.

You know what, what you,

you are my husband, obviously. Yeah, but you’re also an attorney. I. Uh huh So, so

now you’re my attorney, which means we have attorney code privilege. Bonnie, did you do something illegal? No. No, of course not. No. I just got the secret. I wanna tell. And if I don’t tell it, my tongue is gonna explode and I just love off somebody. All right. What is it? Sarah’s pregnant with Sander’s baby.

Um, my god, I don’t know. I won’t, uh, won’t Sarah be upset if, if you are home? I, well, well, I suppose she might be, but she knows I’m fond of you. Oh, listen, to be honest, there’s a part of me that is hoping that Sarah will forgive you and she’ll come back home someday. Yeah. Well, I don’t see that ever happening, but, and honestly, I’m not sure I’m ready to abandon this newspaper just yet.

Well, wait a minute. I thought you were already taking a step away because it was so awkward working with, you know, with Gwen. Am I wrong? No, you’re not wrong. It’s, I’ve been awkward as hell, but, huh. I dunno. Certain things about the job have improved recently.

Oh. Well, okay, you just take some time and think about it. Not too much time though. I do need to replace Alex sooner than later. And I really do hope it’s you. Of course. Oh, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Wonderful. Chloe, it was so nice seeing you. Oh my goodness gracious. I see you too. Oh, listen.

Would you tell Parker that? I absolutely loved his birthday gift. He got me. Of course. I’ll tell him. Okay. So nice to see you. Oh, it’s so nice to see you. Think about it.

How is unexpected? Yeah. Well, Maggie obviously thinks very highly of you. I feel the same about her, but No, I mean, I’d be crazy to go back to work at time, wouldn’t I? Then why didn’t you just say No, I didn’t wanna be rude. Or maybe deep down, you actually want the job.

So what’s it going to be? Are you going to call a truce or am I going to call the police?

No, no need to call the police. I apologize, Mr. Stark. I shouldn’t have manhandled you. Oh, that’s okay. Normally I enjoy a good man handling. You’re right. It was too easy. Anywho, I have got to get to work. Guinevere, you are a lifesaver. Love you minutes.

Your best friend is, uh, yes, I know I, I know he’s a lot, but he has a good heart and he makes me laugh so,

Are you still willing to do the interview or, oh, um, of course. Brilliant. Okay. Well, I’ve, I’ve made a lunch reservation at the Bistro, so we could just head over. Actually, I was thinking, well, why not just do it here? Could be a lot more intimate.

Chad was being really vague about his plans, but I, I figured they had to be important if he was blowing off a client meeting and then it hit me. Today is the one year anniversary that’s Abigail’s death. Wow. So I’m sure he just needed some time to process that. Well, why wouldn’t he just say that? I guess because.

It’s just something he has to deal with on his own right. I mean, obviously I’m sure it’s still very painful for him. Mm. How could it not be? Right.

You know, one thing I did notice though, um, what, nevermind. Oh, Alex, what were you gonna say? Um,

he still wears his wedding ring. Yeah, he does. I think I haven’t noticed that too.

We, um, we haven’t talked about it, but I totally understand. I mean, when you love someone so much, It must be hard to let go.

Wow. You’re just so chill about all this. Just living in Abigail’s shadow. Nope, nope. Sorry. That’s not what I meant at all. That that came up very, very wrong. Um, I didn’t mean that you don’t like measure up at all because you do. Um, it’s just that you have to. Somehow, I don’t know. You have to share Chad with Abigail’s memory.

You’re a strong person, Stephanie. I know you can handle it. Chad’s really lucky to have you. You’re understanding, caring. You’re always there for him. You don’t pressure him about anything. Thank you. That was much more tactful, not only tact. That was kind and insightful. Must be the therapy. I don’t know that Dr.

Evans, Hey, she’s a genius. Yeah. Anyway. I, um, I really do hope that Chad’s okay. Yeah, me too. I know it seems impossible that you actually saw Abby, but who knows? What did Shakespeare ride in Hamlet? There are more things in heaven and earth than dreamt of in your philosophy. Maybe you did see her. I will never know that.

But I know one thing, whether you just imagined her or not, whether you just told yourself the things you wanted to hear or not. I know that she would want you to get on with your life and you know that too, don’t you?

Sometimes. Only sometimes other times I just, I’ve, I, um,

I just have this overwhelming feeling of guilt,

like I’m betraying her, you know what I mean? Well, maybe I just made up this vision of Abigail so I could give myself permission to be with Stephanie. Sleep long enough. It’s only been. A year since Chad stop, I have something to say and, and I want you to really hear me okay. There is no timetable for grief.

There is no right or wrong way to mourn, but one thing I know from living a long, long life is that guilt is corrosive. It will steal all of your happiness if you let it. So don’t you let it. You deserve to be loved. You deserve to have happiness, and not just for yourself, but for your children too. They need to see their father living a full life.

Yeah, you’re right. I see you’re still wearing your wedding ring. This is really none of my business. You can ignore anything I might say, but.

Do you think that wearing the ring is holding you back from moving on?

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe it, I just hadn’t been able to bring myself to take it off. I’m afraid that if I do, it’ll allow me

make it final and really let her go. My darling, she will never be gone. Abigail is always going to be with you in your heart and wearing a piece of jewelry, a little golden ring. It’s not gonna prove that to you. You don’t need it and you don’t have to prove it to anyone else in the world.

Another thing, the guilt that you feel, I think it’s because you are here. She’s not, it’s called survivor’s guilt,

but life is a gift. And we should treasure every single bit of it we get cuz it’s brief, it’s limited. It’s limited for all of us. So forgive yourself for finding love again, for wanting to move into the future. Forgive yourself. And be thankful for all the blessings you have and all the glorious joyous moments that are ahead of you.

Will you do that,

Mr. Vaughn Lona? I think that it’s best that we keep things strictly professional. Oh, I wasn’t suggesting otherwise. Well then why? It’s just that restaurants can be so crowded and noisy. I thought it might just be easier to do the interview here that we were not disturbed. Oh, right. Well, alright. I suppose you have a point.

Wonderful. Well then I will order us room service, my treat, of course. Oh, no, I can, no, I insist please. I think we might have gotten off on the wrong foot earlier, and I’d like to make it up to you fresh start. Of course, Mr. Von Lena, uh, as I said last night, please call me Dimitri. All right. Well, thank you in advance for lunch, Dimitri, and for the interview.

Hmm. Normally I, uh, I detest interviews. For some reason, I’m looking forward to this one. Something tells me that you and I are gonna get along

well, to be honest, I mean, God, part of me would just love to go back to Titan, I mean, Bro, not face to dream about being part of the family business and finally feeling like I belonged. I have to say, I mean, it would be so satisfying to go back and just rub it in Victor’s face showing that he made a mistake by not believing in me.

I could see why that would be satisfying. So I guess you’re taking the job

actually. I think I’m gonna turn it down. You are? Why? Well, as much as I enjoy spending time with Maggie, I enjoy spending time with you much more. Listen, we already live together and this job. Yeah, the job, right? I mean, I can’t abandon you to battle Gwen or by yourself. That wouldn’t be fair, would it? So what, you’re staying here for me?

Yeah, I guess I am.

How on earth could Sarah be pregnant with Xander’s baby? She left town months ago. Well, she was pregnant before she left. She just didn’t tell anybody. Why not? Isn’t it obvious? She thinks Sander is a dangerous criminal. She’s trying to protect her unborn child. Yeah, I guess I can see where she’s coming from.

I mean, he did hold you and Susan hostage. Mm-hmm. Which led to Susan’s death. She rest in peace. Well, if Sarah didn’t want anyone to know, why did she tell you? Well, I ran into her, bless her heart. It’s kinda hard to hide your pregnancy at this stage. So she tried to convince me that the father was Rex, which of course I didn’t believe, and then she finally confessed, but she begged me not to tell anyone her secret, but holy moral doesn.

It’s a huge of a secret for me to hold it. I just had to tell someone. Yeah. I understand Justin, this has to stay between us. No one, not even Maggie can know that she’s pregnant, who’s pregnant.

Hi Maggie. I didn’t know you were home. I just got back. So who’s pregnant? And why am I not allowed to know? Well, well, it’s not just you. No one can know. She wants to keep it a secret. She who? Mm-hmm. Mimi. Yes, Mimi is. She’s pregnant and she doesn’t want too many people know until she’s through her first trimester.

You know how that goes. Oh, yes. Of course. Of course. I won’t say a word. Thank you. Thank you. Well, that’s, that’s, that’s wonderful news though. No, you have to be thrilled. Oh, thrilled. If yes, the word yes. Now I have to admit a little jealous. Mm. I’d love to be a grandmother again. Oh yeah,

him. Sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to grab my paycheck.

Thanks, Xander. Are you busy or do you have time to talk about my next column? Busy. You’ll have to wait. Someone needs an answer from me. Air sap.

So that’s your definition of platonic. Interesting. Listen, Leo, can you please not mention this to Gwen? She hates me enough as it is. Girl, please. Gwen is so over that Scottish longhead has been for ages. As a matter of fact, she’s having lunch with a hot new hunky hun. Even as we speak, you know, most of our readers view you as this sort of James Bond type villain.

Who threatens to obliterate entire cities to get what he wanted. And I know that that’s, um, part of your story, but um, I would actually like to move beyond that. And, um, well, I’d like to learn more about the real Dimitri Vaughn Leischner. What would you like to know? Well, how about we start at the beginning.

What was your childhood like? My childhood. Well, I was an only child raised mainly by my mother, whom you’ve met, whom I love dearly, although I, she can be quite needy. You see, she went through a lot before I was born. And come to think of it, sometimes it felt like I was the adult in the relationship. Yes, I know what that’s like.

And, um, what about your, your father? Ah, yes, the venerable Oscar Ner. My father. My father, my father and I didn’t really have very much of a relationship because he was always off on business traveling. And when he was home, he, well, he was cold. And distant, not exactly what you would call a, a fatherly figure.

In fact, I would go as far as to say he may as well have been absent from my life altogether. Sounds like an awfully lonely childhood. Yes. Yes. I suppose it was. Of course I grew up with great wealth and privilege, and I am fully aware of how lucky I was,

but looking back, I, uh,

I would’ve traded all in for just a, a modicum of unconditional love,

if that even exists. I think it does.

Well then you’re less of a cynic than I am anyway. When you’re deprived of love, it starts to eat away at you and to cope with this deprivation, I think I developed a sort of a me against the world mentality. And to be honest with you, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to shake it. And I suppose that it might be that mentality that’s driven many of my, shall we say, less prudent life choices?

Ah, you mean, um, your choice to use a weapon of a mass destruction to bend world governments to your will? Uh, yes. Like that. Mm. Among others

in prison, you spend a lot of time by yourself alone with just your thoughts to keep you company and you start to wonder. How did I get here? How did I hit rock bottom,

and do you know what I realized? No, I’m very eager to hear. I realized that my need for power and money was all born from a lifelong desire just. Just to be loved.

Please feel free to scoff. I just, uh, I realize how wildly cliche that sounds, and I’m sure that now you think that I’m just some self-pitying narcissist. So if, uh, I don’t know. No, I don’t. Um, I don’t, um, actually, I, I completely get it.

I should be going. I’ve given you a lot of advice. I hope, I hope you take it to heart. I will. I appreciate everything you said. You are always. You’re so wise and caring. You really helped me, Julie. Good. Anytime you wanna talk. I’m, I’m always around. I,

I love you. She, I love you too, Julie.

I want you to know, Abby,

well, I saw you here that day and that what I said.

I will love you forever.

Oh, hello. Hi. I didn’t think I’d seen you today. I’m in. I just wanted to come by and, uh, apologize for missing the meeting today. Oh, it’s okay. The truth is, is I went to go see Abigail. That’s what I thought. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you Chad. You don’t owe me an apology.

How was the meeting? It was really good. Actually, we just finished up right before you got here. And the client wants to see the numbers you crunched. Hmm? I have them right here.

Got them right here.

Great.

Let’s get to work.

So are you still looking for that perfect love?

I suppose I am.

And um, is there anyone special? No. Perhaps, um, anyone you fancy?

Sadly, no.

Has there ever been?

Yes, yes. There was someone that I thought was perfect for me, but I kept getting hurt. So finally, as painful as it was, I had to walk away. I think you might know what that feels like. Sorry. Excuse me. Forgive me. I, uh, last night at the house, I overheard you speaking to my aunt and you said something about wanting to put someone named Xander behind you and starting fresh with someone new.

Oh yes, I suppose I did say that. I’m so sorry. I really shouldn’t have been dropping, but secretly I’m glad that I did because it made me realize that perhaps you and I have a connection. Of sorts.

Um, yes, um, it’s true. I mean, honestly, since hearing your story, I am. I think it’s quite uncanny how much we have in common. Really. It’s Imagine that Gwen’s on a date. I thought she was interviewing Dimitri Von Leischner. Oh, well she is, but you never know. One thing could lead to another. Well, I hope you’re right.

If she’s happy and moved on, then she’ll be less of a problem for Xander and me. You know, even if Gwen is out of the picture. What about Sarah Horton? What about Sarah? She and Xandr have been over for a while now. I mean, she doesn’t even live here anymore and yet her Specter always loomed large over Gwen’s relationship with Xandr.

Poor Gwen always playing second fiddle to Xander’s. Beloved Sarah, who’s to say that won’t happen to you too? That’s ridiculous. They’re, they’re done for good. Trust me. You say so.

Oh Lord. Do you think Maggie bought my story? Let’s hope. And you may wanna let Mimi know that she needs to get pregnant. A sap. That’s the only thing I can think of. This is all your fault anyway. My fault. Yes, your fault. I was a much better liar before I fell in love with you. Now I’m outta practice. Oh, well I guess I should take that as a compliment.

Yes, it’s a compliment and a curse cuz now I feel guilty for lying and I never used to feel guilty before. Oh my God. Did you see Maggie? She can’t wait to be a grandmother again. Well, she will be, won’t Sarah eventually have to tell Maggie? I mean, it’s not like she can keep this secret forever, especially from her own mother.

Oh, no, you’re right. It just, I think Sarah needs time to figure it out, you know? Well, she better do that soon, because I’m not sure how much longer you can last before you put it in Skywriting. I really not. You’re the only one I’m gonna tell. Okay. I try to do that.

All right. I have a client to meet. Okay. Then you’ll be here when I get back. Oh, God, yes. All right. And keep your mouth. Mm, yeah. Ow

you can do this bunny girl. You can keep Sarah’s pregnancy a secret. Easy peasy. You just gotta stay away from Xander.
