THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sloane Sloane.

Hello Eric. What the hell’s going on Jada? What are you doing here?

Hey ish, Talia. Hey. Hey. I was just looking for my sister. Is she around? She’s actually out on a call. You wanna leave a message for her? No, it’s okay. Um, but since I’m here I was just wondering, uh, you and Jada enjoy your dinner last night. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dinner.

So how was the bakery busy? We almost completely sold out, but I managed to save some ginger scones for eight. I told you to stop doing that. Gonna give that man diabetes. You can just toss that box in the trash. And that would include the bear claw I put in there for you. Gimme that. Okay. So Abe who hits the gym at least four times a week, he’s on a restricted diet.

But you, I don’t go there now. You know Big mama blessed us with her amazing jeans. I’m as healthy as a horse. Mm. And that’s why I had to make an appointment for you with the cardiologist. Well, I was given a clean bill of health even after you had a panic. Oh, oh, you know, that reminds me when I left for that appointment, you, you told me that you were going to handle Sloan Peterson.

So, uh, I’m assuming this is your doing.

Oh, open up Stark. I know you’re in there.

Girl. What is your problem? This, oh, bad manicure. I’m talking about your stupid little gossip column here is Salem’s top legal Eagle. A total psycho. So you read that immediately. Came over here and freaked out there by proving the story is true. This isn’t funny. If you don’t fix this, I will destroy it.

Well, seems the rumors are true. What rumors, according to Leo you two are Salem’s hottest new couple. Looks like he was right. Why are you talking about, oh, come on. Don’t try to deny it. I walked in here. I heard you giving a toast about letting go of the past and moving on with your lives. It’s very clear to me that you are moving on with each other.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

You don’t understand what’s not to understand. You lied to me. You told me you couldn’t be with me because you were still so very much in love with Sarah, but now I. You were causing it to her. Craig Wesley stuck up. Daughter. It’s good to see you too, Gwen. Yeah. And you treated Leo like dirt because that’s how you treat dirt, like dirt.

And that was nothing compared to the way you treated me. You know what? As far as I’m concerned, you two deserve each other.

I am here on official police business. Did anything happen to Sloan? No. I mean, not that I know of. I came here to question her and she wasn’t home, so I decided to take a look around. So you broke in. No the super very nicely. Let me in once I showed him my warrant. Would you like to see it? Look Judy, if this is about that later.

No, there’s actually been a new development in the case last night. Paulina Price for received a very threatening text message and I think your girlfriend might know something about it.

You and Jada had dinner together. We talked about this. Ray, Abe. Abe. It was a very platonic dinner. Okay? I went to the pub. I went there to pick up takeout, and then I ran into Detective Hunter and her sister, and then, well, we decided that we would sit at a table together. Now, is that against apartment regulation?

Should I have sat at a table across the room, or should I have fled the place entirely to maintain the department’s sparkling reputation? Talia, I don’t know if you have met the mayor. This is Detective Hunter’s, sister Talia, and she was also there the other night. Hello, today, Dave Garden. Hi, nice to meet you.

Oh, Talia Hunter, you work with Chanel, right? Mm-hmm. And you helped my wife when she had that panic attack? I did, and I’m hoping she’s feeling a lot less stress. Well, not so much. This situation with Song Peterson is Ah, it’s getting to her.

Oh, I hope that article didn’t hurt Sloan’s feelings. She’s such a delicate little Sherman tanked. So this is your, You went trotting off the lady, what’s his face? And toll all, uh, Leo doesn’t reveal his sources well, even with Leo’s socks reference for journalistic ethics, she is gonna know who gave this to him.

Good. It’s about time. She knows that if she hits us, we hit back and this is gonna hit her where it hurts. As far as I can see, the only thing she cares about other than making us miserable is her law practice. Hmm. And. I just wonder how many people are looking for a psycho lawyer. Well, I hope you are right that this backs her off and that that text last night will be the end of it.

What text? Gosh. Take up chill pill. She Hulk. What exactly are you asking me to do? You need to run an immediate retraction. Just admit you made the whole. I didn’t, I got my intel from a very reliable source. Do you mean polling a price? Uh, as a respected journalist, I’m not at liberty to reveal my sources.

You’re not a journalist. You’re an insignificant little worm. I was about to have his ass sued, liable. Ah. It’s not liable if it’s true, isn’t true. I have not been harassing Paul Price. No. You sure as hell had motive? You keep insisting that Chanel Dure killed your mother. That would’ve been a matter of public record had her mother not paid to have the whole thing covered up.

Giving you even more motive. But it’s a sad story and I’m sure the public would be on your side if you just, you know, confessed in detail in my column. We can get the whole town to hate that, not just you tell Lady Whistleblower everything.

Well, if you don’t have the phone, then you have no proof that Sloan sent that text. Well, that’s kind of why I’m here to find proof. Yeah. Well, I’m pretty sure that Sloan took her phone with her. Well, maybe she’s a different phone, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to poke around a bit. Couldn’t hurt you. You don’t have to clean it up.

Did you find anything? Nothing yet. But I did notice that you have your own drawer now. Things are getting pretty serious. I really don’t need a lecture of why I shouldn’t be dating Sloan. No lecture. Just an observation. Okay. Okay. Maybe, maybe a little judgment, but I know it’s none of my business. And honestly, I just want you to be happy no matter who you’re with.

I want you to be happy too. What about you? Everybody new in your life?

Is Paulina okay? She got a clean zone of health. All the harassment and. Just doesn’t let up. Well, I swear to God, I am gonna give it to the bottom of this. I know, I, I, I know that. Have you heard from Detective Hunter? Is she able to question Sloan Peterson about the texts? Well, she has not checked in yet, but as soon as I do hear from her, I will let you know.

I’ll give you a call. Thank you. Thank you. And, uh, I’m sorry about before you do know that I trust you implicit. Yes. Yes. Right. It’s nice to meet you. To meet you. Same to you, Mr. Mayor. Yes, Abe. Abe. Talk to you later. Yep.

Sorry, I got you in trouble. Nah, it’s okay. But’s, uh, do me a favor, right? Yeah. Anything. Just tell me what it is. Yeah. Uh, stop trying to push me and Jada together. Okay. Wow. Was I that obvious? Well, only to a trained detective. Oh, you’re nasty. Hmm. No wonder why Jada likes you so much. You heard ape. I am Jada’s boss.

There are rules against this. All right. Nothing can happen. Well, you know that’s just a shame cuz you two would make a great couple. I mean, you’re funny. Both great looking available Talia, nothing can happen. All right, fine. I guess. But just tell me. If it wasn’t for that stupid policy, you’d be making a move, wouldn’t you?

Hmm? Your husband can’t save you. I can’t believe Sloan sent this text. Well, technically it was anonymous, but we both know it was her. Well, well, did you report it to the cops? Abe’s taking care of it. Oh, that woman is so twisted. No, tell me. Uh, when I ran into her last night, she practically gloated when I.

When you what? I wasn’t gonna say anything, but I had another panic attack. No, no, no, no. It was no big deal. No, no, no. Uhuh. I remember what tall you said to do and was able to calm down. Okay, good. I’m glad. But wait, there’s more, isn’t there?

But when I started losing it, Sloan mocked me. Walked the way before she knew I was okay. Oh that bitch. I swear to God. If something had happened to you, don’t. Don’t even think about it. I’m fine. I’m fine. And that’s what Sloane Peterson, she will get hers eventually, one way or another. There’s nothing to confess.

I’m innocent. Fine. Stick with your old. But you should read the comments section of my column. Everyone thinks you’re guilty. I know. That’s why I want a retraction. It’s too late. The public has already made up its mind. The only way to turn things around is to share your sob story and get people to feel sorry for you.

And why would I do that? You’ll just twist my words. You’re a lawyer. You’ll choose your words carefully. Just not too carefully. We do need some juicy details, so question number.

Which magazines did you use to cut out those letters? Vogue, vanity Fair. Why does it matter? I don’t know. It’s the first question that came to my mind. Gosh, you’re such a total hack. Listen, work with me here now. You listen here, you little twerp. I expect an immediate retraction by tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll sue those hideous pants off of your little scrawny ass.

They’re not hideous. They’re cut.

Not that it’s any of your business, Gwen, but Chloe and I were just having a drink together. There’s nothing romantic going on. Oh yeah. Okay. What about last night then when I walked in here and you were in each other’s arms? Oh, for goodness sake, I was upset about Brady, and Xander was comforting. What about the photo that Leo took of you?

To what photo? This picture right here,

a sneaky little pip squeak. If Leo thinks he’s using this picture in his column, don’t worry. I killed it. It’s like how you killed the story about this one being a child hater. And when he killed that so-called story, I was happy and I hugged him. Oh, is that how the two of you shacked up? Then you traded Sex for Fathers.

There’s nothing going on between Oz Gwen. Why do you care anyway? You’re sleeping with Alex. I don’t care. I just don’t like being lied to. I mean, if you, if you didn’t wanna be with me, you could have just told me so. So making up some rubbish excuse about how you still hung up on your ex, Sarah, you know what?

You were a coward then and you are a coward now. Just have the bloody guts to admit that the two of you are a couple. Fine, you’re right. I fallen madly in love with Chloe Lane. I don’t care who knows anymore.

I am not seeing anyone. Right. I am focused on work. Yeah. Well, I hope you don’t neglect your personal life for too long. You deserve to be to some degree. Thanks. Anyway, I better get going. I left Sloane a voicemail, but if you can please remind her to stop by the PD first chance she gets and she should bring her phone or phones.

Okay. Okay, I got it. I’ll tell her also. I hope Sloane is aware that we have ways to access any deleted messages. Jenna, I really don’t think Sloan has anything to do with this. Well, if that’s true, it would still be in her best interest if she cooperated. Owen, sorry about the mess. Right.

I really should get back to work. You’re avoiding the question. Hey, you catch on eventually. I’ll let Jayden know you stopped by. You know what? Fine. You don’t even need to answer the question. I can see that both you and Jada are attracted to one another. We just need to figure out a way around those stupid regulations.

All right, Talia, lemme tell you something. There are a lot of people in this town that I know very well and that I trust, and I have not discussed this situation with them. So don’t be offended that I don’t wanna discuss it with you. Direct, forceful man. You are right up Jesus Alley. Uh.

Wow. God bless Chanel. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. These are for later. Chanel went to the bistro to pick up something for dinner. Oh, well that’s nice her. Mm-hmm. It is. But I also think she wanted to get out and get some air. Yeah. Yeah. She was pretty upset when I told her about Sloan Peterson Walking away from you while I was having my panic attack.

Yeah. And that nasty text message I told RA about that he got a. He sent Jada Hunter over to search her apartment and as soon as she reports back to him, he’ll give me an update. Oh, good. I hope they nail it to the wall. Me too. But in the meantime, I think we should leave Salem.

Hey, do. Tell your mother to stop spreading those lies about me, especially to the reporters. Oh, she didn’t do that? I did. And they weren’t lies. Oh. Like hell, they weren’t. And if you are the one who went and spoke to Leo Stark, then you’re gonna be the one to go back and set that record straight. Oh, the record’s already straight.

You trashed my mom’s office. You sent that threatening note. And then last night after walking away from my mother when she could have been dying, you sent that text, excuse me, I’m sorry. What text that your husband. Save you. Okay. I didn’t send that text. Oh no. Then who did? I don’t know. Maybe one of the hundred thousand other people who hate that old obnoxious bitch.

Oh, I know you did not just call my mama an old bitch. You just forgot. Obnoxious.

I will kill you.

You want to move out of. I didn’t say that. I, I, I just think it’s, uh, it was time for an extended vacation and we never did have a honeymoon. This isn’t about a honeymoon. This is about getting away from Sloan Peterson, right? Yes. Yes. I, I, I, yes it is. Look, look, the police are on the case, and once she’s behind Barbara, we can come back.

So we’d be running. Don’t think of it like that. Oh, what other way is there to think about it? Think that you are under a lot of stress and Paris is beautiful this time of year. Well, as much as I would like to go to Paris with you, I can’t leave Chanel here all alone, but she can come with us. She won’t, she won’t leave her bakery for that long, which means I have to stay here and protect her from Sloane, especially after she got Leo’s start to run that column in the Spectator.

Ah, yeah. I’m not sure about that. Eh, well, with what we know about Sloan Peterson, I am not sure. It’s a good idea.

Willie are psycho me. You’re the one who killed my mother.

Oh, she started it. Oh wow. We, I’m not afraid to finish it. No, this ends now leave. Before I call the. I already had to file a restraining order against your mother. I guess I had to file one against you too. Are you all right? Yeah. God, I hate her. Yeah, I would’ve never guessed. Come outta your bleeding. She’s just a scratch.

Yeah, that can get infected. Come on, let’s go to the bakery. They have a first aid kit there.

Yeah. Oh, hey, how’d it go with Peterson? Uh, she wasn’t home, so I looked around the apartment, find anything. Uh, she has crap taste in music, and she has more handcuffs than the department has, but no burner phone and no cutout magazines. All right. You left our message both on her cell and with Eric. Oh, he was there.

How’d that go? Strained. You know how it always is when you’re talking to an ex? Yeah. Tell me about it. But in a way it was good. You know, I, as I’m living there with that woman, a dominatrix who listens to cold clay, and I thought to myself, dude, I am over you.

You are a pig.

That one is not. Yeah, well she’s right around one thing. You are a pig.

You’re not gonna believe what I’ve been through. Yeah. Well, I’m not gonna believe this either. I went into the pub. You were right of Alexandra and Chloe there. They were her showing off her cleavage to her best advantage while he’s undressing her, his eyes. So you quietly backed away to weep in private.

No, I did. I walked over there and I told him off how out of Charact. First he said there was nothing going on, and then. She kissed her right in front of me. Yes. What gwenny don’t you see? This means we’re winning.

Ow. God, what was that for? You assaulted me. How was it? No, I just gave you a kiss. In public for someone else’s benefit. You know, I don’t like being dragged into your deeply icky relationship with that limey psycho, but I especially don’t like being used as a prop in your gotcha moment for your ex upon reflection.

You have a point. Reflection, you don’t even know what the word means. Did you stop for one second to think about what you just did upon reflection? She’s gonna run straight to Leo and tell him what happened, and then he’s gonna write some truly disgusting column about it, and then Brady will read it.

Give, I thought even moving on, I never said that, but even if I did, it doesn’t give you a right to maul me in public to prove your pros. I’m sorry, Chloe. I, you’re right. I, I didn’t think on, even when I do think I usually. Mess things up. Bye. I’m sorry. Really, I, because I don’t know, this is a long shot, but I really would like it if we could be friends.

I’ll get started on that report. There is one more thing your sister stopped by. Why o c you? But she did manage to speak about our dinner together last night in front of the mayor. I’ll kill her. Well, I’d have to report that. Okay, fine. I won’t kill her, but I’ll tell her to back off. Yeah. Well I already did that.

Did not seem to phase her this. Um, she, uh, she started talking about our dinner together and then segued into, uh, an aria about how unfair the new policy regulations are and then concluded with, uh, how clearly we are attracted to each other. I am mortified. I am so, so sorry. No more. It’s okay. I. Wanted you to know she clearly hasn’t given up her campaign.

I will handle her the commissioner. I want you to know that I have never, ever encouraged that. I never said that. I, I mean, I know there can be nothing between us. I know you have no interest in me, you know, in that way. Right. I think the problem is, um, I actually am,

Hey, I didn’t expect you to, What the hell is all of this? Jada? She executed a search warrant. What? Yeah. Well, someone sent, Pauline had threatening text message last night. Yeah, no, I know. Apparently I’ve already been tried and found guilty. You know. Jen left you a message. I want you to come down the station.

I’m really getting sick of all of this. Well, they said you should probably bring your phone. I want to take a look at it. You better do what they say. Of course, I, I have nothing to hide. I here if I don’t, why don’t you see for yourself?

Apparently it’s a good idea to hire a baker who’s also a doctor. Yeah. Especially if you love street brawls. It literally looked like you two were gonna kill each other. Hold on. This is might sting a little bit.

Sorry.

You know, I’m really glad you showed up when you did. It looked like the white chick was getting the worst of it. No, I, I mean, not just now, but in general. You know, when Allie and I broke up, I didn’t just lose my girlfriend, but I also lost my business partner, and I’ve just been feeling so overwhelmed.

And then you showed up and I feel like I’m finally starting to see a path forward, so thank you.

I don’t get it. How exactly am I. Your sexual exploits with Alex have made Xander mad with jealousy, so now he’s trying to make you jealous by stripping. Chloe Le doesn’t feel like wanting to me. Don’t you see? He’s using her so that you’ll come back to him maybe. Or maybe your plan backfired and now he has real feelings for her.

Huh? I hadn’t thought of that.

Chloe, I really am sorry. Could you please, please just gimme another chance. Well, as someone who just told a little kid that I hated her, I know what it’s like to be provoked into doing something you regret really. And for what it’s worth, I’ve actually. Really enjoyed hanging out with you. Never thought I’d be leaning on you for emotional support, but here we are.

So we’re good. We’re good as long as you keep your dirty paw away from me. Okay.

Did what you just said mean what I think it.

You know, I think that maybe I should clarify this further. So, um, if I wasn’t your boss, then I would ask you out all for further clarification. I’d say yes. Okay. Well, right. I just, um, I just thought if we were aware of the situation, then we could be more in control of the situation. Yeah, I agree. Right, and And to be clear, yeah, I don’t think the problem is that you’re my boss because you are a very good professional boss.

I think the problem are those departmental regulations. But they’re real. And, uh, what are the consequences? Meaning nothing can happen. That’s right.

Well, um, now that, that’s settled and out the way, I should keep going. Good night. Quiet. Yeah, boss. Okay. Yeah. Good night, detective. I’m.

I don’t need to see your phone. I believe you, Ali. Someone does. But I do have one question for you. What. I have baby’s breath in your hair. Let me get it. It’s been a long day. I know. I’m going up to shower. I’m done. Can we make dinner please? Yeah, sure. Or we can order in, but I’m just not in the mode to go out.

I have up to here with the good people of Salem.

Well, um, you. I wasn’t just trying to get you away from Sloan Peterson. No, no. Uh, look, I, I, I, I, it’s not that I don’t like having Chanel here. I love her. But I would like to spend a little alone time with you.

Oh, well, once that cycle is behind bars, we are Paris bound. Promise.

Oh, well, table’s all set. Oh, we’re missing as the food, I’m wonder was taking Chanel so long? Uh, let me text her and see. Mm-hmm. Where.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Alex, Hey. I know you’re busy, but your assistant said you were working from home. No, it’s, it’s okay. It’s all right. Come on in. Thank you. I just need to vent for a minute about my infuriating relative, and I figured you might underst. Assuming you were talking about Zander. I’m audios.

Okay, here it goes. Watch this. Wait, wait. Why are you closing your eyes? To help me concentrate. Huh? Eh, eh, interesting stretch. I can’t go any worse than before. Are you sure? I didn’t draw? I’m quite sure it’s just, you know, if your eyes were open, you would see that I’m now standing as a very surface. Okay.

Okay. Wise decision. So when I sing, I always hear the pitch in my head before I produce a sound. So with this, I’m going to imagine where the dart needs to go before I throw it. Wait, you’re gonna throw it? That looking. No, no, no. I’m gonna open my eyes just as I am.

Oh my God. I did it. I hit the middle. Known in some circles as the bullseye. Yeah, the bullseye. Aren’t you impressed? Of course. I’m impressed. That was amazing. A total lie. Hi. Hey man.

Stephanie, can you still hear your mother’s voice on that call?

Okay. We’re gonna end this for today. Um, I’m gonna count you out of it. I’ll count to three. You’ll open your eyes and be wide awake. Can you’ll feel relaxed, refreshed. 1, 2, 3.

Good. How do you feel? I’m fine. Did it. Sorry, Stephanie. I think I, I think I messed it up. What do you mean? You were under, uh, recalling the conversation you had with your mom and you said you heard her, uh, say a name? I jumped in. I asked who it was. I think I threw you off. I did hear her say a name. Was it Thomas Bank?

No, I’m pretty sure it was. Victor. Victor, Kiki. Yeah, definitely. That’s what my mom said. And whatever I’m recalling through hypnosis should be accurate, right? Yes, it is. What do you think it means? What could Victor possibly have to do with your mom’s kidnapping?

You okay? Are you, are you okay? Are you okay? You okay? Sweet. Yeah.

Is it really,

this is really you. Yeah.

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

Well, I’m sorry to disappoint as much as I have grown to detest my cousin Xander. I’m not here for him. I’m here for my aunt Maggie, a k a, the boss from hell. Oh, dear. What did she do now? You, you remember when I told you I needed to find a way to get on her good side? This unbelievable opportunity just lands directly in my lap.

Have you heard of the Cova Prisms? Uh, this, is that the thing that like is meant to kill cancer or something? Yes. Among other things. Now, the Demaris, the isa, a whole bunch of other people have been trying to get their hands on these damn things for like three decades. I get word from the Athens police that they just confiscated in from Dr.

Wolfe. Wow. Dr. Ro Shaw gets around, doesn’t he? He does get around. Anyway. I pull all the right strings with Uncle Vick’s contacts. I grease all the right palms. The prisms would’ve been Titans. It would’ve been the biggest deal of the century. Fuck. But Saint Maggie doesn’t understand that the best deals aren’t made in the boardroom.

She also doesn’t understand that I was about to make her look like the most brilliant c e o in history. So instead she makes me go crawling back to this guy to un bribe him for some like. Victory for the greater good, like vintage Maggie, right? Mm-hmm. Totally. But it’s not in reality, this is a category five catastrophe.

Why a catastrophe? Because we lost Gwen. Now a hundred percent of these prisms are gonna end up in the wrong hands, and who knows what the hell they’re gonna be used for?

Tell me I’m not dreamy. No, no. This is real.

Who, my sweetness. I have missed you so much. I thought I was gonna have to miss you forever. I have to live without you. What is this miracle? You’re here. God. Daddy, are you hurt? Oh, baby. After everything you’ve been through, you worried about me? Yes, I am worried about you. Do you, do you have, do you have double vision?

Are are you dizzy? No. No. I got maybe a, just a little headache from where both pistol whipped me. Uh, I don’t suppose I dreamed that, did I? I’d like to tell you. You did, but I, I don’t think so. I can’t believe it. And I saw him at that police station. My best friend, my brother-in-law, he’d been dead for years, and Barry was, he was standing there alive,

and then he treated me like I was his sworn enemy. Listen to me, Megan brainwashed him. He is not Bo. Not really Bo. He’s just some sort of. I don’t know. Heartless, uh, imposter. He said that he took you off Megan’s Island. Was he working with Thomas Banks? Thomas Banks? Uh, I don’t, I, I don’t know anything about that.

Why? Well, Megan said banks was the one who took you. Bank is a liar. Bo went rogue, like I told you, and she knew it. She probably just didn’t wanna give hope, the satisfaction of knowing that Beau was alive. Do you know why Beau brought you here? Oh yeah. Oh, he’s made it very clear. He wants me to use the Prisms to create the miracle serum that Ralph and Megan have been working on.

You know, even if I had any idea how to do. I, I don’t, we are never getting out of here. Hey, um, listen baby, so many people are looking for you and they know I’m here now. It’s only a matter of time until we’re found. Okay?

All right. Let me think this. We know my mom was in Greece when she called, and Victor’s from Greece. So do you think he was somehow involved in her disappearance? I don’t know what to think. I say we go straight to the source side. You mean go to Victor directly? Why not? Yeah, why not? And and if Victor stonewalls us, then we’ll get Maggie involved.

She’s kind and compassionate. She’ll definitely wanna help. She will. She will be on our side. You know, I will never understand why Victor decided to make Maggie the CEO of Titan. I mean, she doesn’t seem very bright for one thing, right? And does she even have experience? I dunno. She’s just run a restaurant and bosses all her servants about, yeah, that’s about it.

Well, that’s why she can’t afford to lose you, Alex. She, she needs your energy, she needs your business sense. You are a tremendous asset to their company. Well, thank you. Unfortunately, aunt Maggie thinks I’m a tremendous liability, which is why she’s dying to replace me, probably will any minute with whom and who would want to take what seems to be a thankless job at this point anyway.

Oh, here’s a hint. Starts with an X. No. Really? Yes. Really? Gwen Xander is miserable being your business partner, especially after the two of you broke up. So he is happy to abandon the spectator and make his mark on Titan. And what better way to punish me for taking his place in your bed than taking my place in the boardroom?

What’s going on here? Plain dart flowy head starts. Not anymore. You just got a, a bullseye, didn’t you darling? She’s actually quite pleased with herself, aren’t you? Uh, um, Sandra and I were eating alone at separate tables. We just ran into each other. So where’s the fun in that? So, yeah. Um, how’s Rachel doing?

She’s okay. She’s okay. She’s happy to have her grandma Marlena back, that’s for sure. I bet. I, I can’t even imagine Brady. I’m so sorry for what I said to her yesterday. I’m, I’m more than sorry. I am ashamed. Okay. That’s not an excuse the way that Rachel was treating me, I just was so hurt and I’d lost it, obviously.

Hey, Chloe, not with the Meia. Col, please. I told you, I’m sure Brady understands. Aaron, please stay out of this. If you don’t understand, it would be very unkind of you, Brady, since your daughter has been horrible to Chloe. Shut up. I mean, that child has provoked this kind caring woman over and over again until year finally.

Understandably she can take it anymore. Lost her temper and gave the kid a taste her own nasty medicine. Hey, Susanna, don’t, don’t, don’t talk about my kid. You have no right to talk about my kid. She has been through chaos. She’s had it really hard lately and her mother is now in. As a parent, you try to give her some, some tenderness and some understanding and some tolerance.

That’s what I’m trying to do, by the way. How is this any of your business? Who told you all about this? Oh, stupid question. You, you told him about all of this? I, I am sorry. I was upset. I needed someone to talk to. Everybody on Salem like, you’re gonna confide in this bastard here. Hey, yes, she confided in me cuz I happen to be compassionate and understanding.

I, for one, I’m glad that you finally stood up to his spiteful daughter.

You are shallow and you are insensitive. All right. And you don’t know what the hell it’s like to be a parent, so don’t talk like you do. You don’t even know how to be a decent human being. Ander, you know, I gave cousin Alex A. Black eye the other day. Maybe you’d like one to.

Oh sweet. When the kids see you, I can’t tell you how crushed they were losing you and poor Stephanie. She didn’t make it. To the hospital in time before you supposedly died. It wasn’t her fault, but she was so tortured by that sweet girl. I get wait to see Joey. Trent. Stephanie, you know this really, really needs a couple stitches.

No, no, no, no, no. It’s okay. It’ll heal just fine. You know, it’s bad enough that Bo kidnap me, but to hurt you this way, okay, we’re gonna be fine. And so is Bo. God, I hope so. I mean, I think that maybe he somehow broke away from Megan’s mind control. Look at everything. He’s been through his illness 10 years and kind of like limbo.

And who knows what Ralph and Megan did to him. And I just, I feel like he’s in war with himself, a certain pain. I don’t know, it’s just a lot of psycho fled, but it’s just that he kept talking to the body, wanted a, a fresh start, and he, he was just trying to figure out who he really is. What about being Bo Brady?

Oh, it doesn’t appeal to him anymore. Uh, not in the least. I kept trying to talk to him about it, you know, about our past, about about being Brady’s, and he just didn’t wanna hear it. He just dismissed it. I mean, what good is it to be a lowly Brady when you wanna build an empire? Oh, an empire. Wow. Lofty after the ambitions.

Ah, yeah. Love and ruthless. They just, He wanted wealth and power, and I think it’s all about being Victor Kiki’s son, or maybe even his clone.

Hey, you at Titan, Alex, that is your, it’s your birthright. Now listen to me. Don’t you dad bloody roll over and let Zander take your job. I mean, why? Why would Maggie want him to anyway, after the way he screwed her daughter over? It’s a damn good question. But Maggie has a soft spot for this guy. Seems like she just forgives him no matter what the hell he does.

For the life of me, I have no idea how she could give this obnoxious, amoral, neanderthal jerk the benefit of the doubt at every turn. Meanwhile, it gets pissed off at me if I so much sit in the damn c e o chair. I’m sorry. No four insulting ender. Go ahead. Insult away. I, I don’t care. Okay. What you no longer have a soft spot for the guy?

No. Why should I ever since he took a step back from the paper, he’s been avoiding me at every turn. You know you didn’t even bother to turn up at the office today for work. Why did he at least have an excuse? No, didn’t tell me. Didn’t call me. Didn’t even bother to give me a bloody. There’s no mystery where he’s spending his time now.

In fact, I’m sure that he’s closing up with Chloe Lane as we speak. Stop it right now. So I’m shallow and insensitive. Am I? As opposed to you an arrogant as who thinks he’s got his gift to the world? Who fathered a child with a sadistic psychopath? Once you go there, you son a bitch. Okay. That’s enough.

Okay. Enough. It, it, it is. It’s, it’s enough. You’re right. Okay. Brady, you can leave. No, Chloe, I’m not gonna leave until I talk to. Do you want to talk to him? Callander? She can speak for herself. Can we please talk? Yeah. Sureand, do you mind? Would you give Brady me a few minutes? Sure. I’ll get us another round.

I want to fix this. You do? Why are you surprised by? Because I was. Oh is so terrible to your daughter yesterday, and I feel horrible about it. But you know, being a parent, I would understand why that could be a deal breaker. It doesn’t have to be a deal breaker. My daughter just needs to understand that you didn’t mean what you said.

She thinks that you hate her, so she feels justified in her hostility towards you right now. Of course she does, and that’s why I’m so down on myself for that stupid des. Blur. Oh my God, how could I hate her? She’s just a child who’s been through way too much lately. I mean, my heart breaks for her. Having a mother like Kristen, thank God she has you and I.

I truly love Rachel and I wish that she wouldn’t see me as the enemy, that I’m the person who essentially. Came between her and her mother. The two, the two of you have not always been this way. You, you used to have a really great relationship. Remember? I know we did. I would do anything to have that again, and I can’t take back what I said,

and now she just thinks of me as being the evil step monster. How am I gonna change that, Chloe? I can talk to her. I’ll talk to her and talk to her and talk. Okay. Well, should I, do you think that maybe if I wrote her an apology, she would. I’m asleep. Probably not. I mean, I, I seem to be the only one that can talk to her and get through to her right now.

Right. Well, I’m not sure that talking to her is gonna be enough for her to view me in a better light. I mean, it’s gonna take a freaking miracle.

What are you saying? I mean, because of this issue with my daughter, you just want to, you want to give up. I, I know you are ready for a rematch.

Yeah. Yeah.

Zander and Chloe Lane, what are you talking about?

Leo saw them with their heads together the other day, and of course he was champing at the bit to let Lady Whistleblower let all of Salem know. I put a kibosh on that because I, I felt that, I was sure that he was making something out of nothing but.

Now I can’t help wondering.

Oh, look at that. Look, this is the picture that he snapped. Yeah, so. What do you think? I mean, does that look like a platonic hug to you,

baby?

Maybe I should have f let Leah run the story then, especially because he replaced it with something that the litigious Sloan Peterson would’ve gone absolutely mental over.

Meanwhile, I’m, I’m thinking maybe Leo was right about them. Why? Well, because after I told Leo that he was speaking absolute rubbish, I, I walked in, I saw it for myself. I saw the two of them in each other’s arms.

Your turn. And you are on a roll, my dear. You know if you keep doing that eyes closed thing, I’m betting that you’re gonna hit bullseye after Bullseye. Yes you go. I don’t wanna play anymore. Alright. Was hoping you were enjoying the distraction. Well, I’m not really distractable anymore. All right. Because Brady had to roll through and from what I’m observing, makes you feeling worse than you already did.

No, I feel pretty much the same, which is miserable. Full of regret and. Uh, you know, it didn’t really help that you threatened to beat him up in the middle of this place. Yeah. Sorry. That’s my, uh, inner and neanderthal coming out, I’m afraid. Yeah, well that inner, inner Neanderthal seems to make an appearance regularly, only when he is outraged and, oh, come on, Chloe.

A littley in you like dirt and Brady doing nothing to protect you from it. I mean, it’s outrageous. There’s nothing Brady can do to protect me from it. Kristen has convinced Rachel that I’m evil in trying to keep her away from her mother. Brady’s tried to talk to her, but the kid won’t budge. She wants me out of his life and hers.

Maybe I shouldn’t have Ned Leo’s column about you rating Rachel over the proverbial. It seems all I accomplished was postponing the inevitable. What do you mean postponing the inevitable? I’m only speaking from very recent, very personal experience, but there comes a point of no return in a failing relationship.

You tried to backpedal back to the time. The moment before everything started to fall apart, you start banging your head against the wall to make something work. And in your heart of hearts, you, you know, it’s already over. It’s just a matter of admitting it to you, son. I could have saved Sarah and myself so much heartache if I just let go at that.

A four mentioned point of no return. Instead, now we’re divorced. Sarah Ki even bring herself to continue living in Salem.

Do you think that Brady and I are at the point of no return? Doesn’t matter what I think. What do you think?

Hi. I thought you’d be done with that by now. I know, I know. I’m taking it slowly. I do not want it to end. I’m enjoying it so much.

Every time I see you lately, I, I still get these little goosebumps and call the, an adrenaline rush. I don’t know what it is, but I’m just so grateful that you’re, that you’re here. I’m not taking a minute for granted that you are here. Myself, dad, that everyone who loves you is just so grateful that you’re back.

Thank you for saying that. I feel the same way. I’m grateful to be alive. I’m grateful to be home and, and with this family that I love. So

it Is there any news about Kayla? We may be making some progress there. Uh, Chad and Stephanie were over earlier and. They think that richer may be able to shine some light on where Kayla is, my granddad. Why would, why would he? No, no, no. Don’t misunderstand. He’s not involved in it. Absolutely not involved in her disappearance, but, well, Stephanie was talking to her mother and she remembered her saying something about Victor.

Well, that could, that could be crucial to finding. I mean, if my granddad knows something, do you want me to talk to him? I, I, I could. Well, no, not yet. They’re good to talk to him and see how they do. And then if, if they don’t discover anything, then maybe you can give it a try. Yes. Hi Maggie. Hi. Hi. What can I do for you?

I hope this isn’t about time isn’t. What can I do for you? Is Victor around? Uh, he’s out of town. Oh, well we needed to ask him something. Well, how about you ask me? Maybe I can help. Yeah, maybe you can. Look, we know, uh, Kayla’s in Greece. Can you think of any reason why Kayla might have brought up Victor’s name when Stephanie asked where she was?

Well, um, no, I can’t be sure. Of course, Victor has investment properties all over. From, uh, the Athens brand of Titan to Vast that you grow up in. Is there any way that we could get a list of those properties or would we need to go through Victor? No, that wouldn’t be, uh, necessary because I have access to all that information.

I can get my assistant to draw them up for you right away. That would be very helpful. Thank you, Mary. And can you think of anyone that might know anything in Greece, anyone that’s connected to Victor, Liz? No, but I’ll keep my ear to the ground and ask Victor to do the same. Um, and, uh, if we hear anything.

You will be our first call.

Oh, so this is Victor’s childhood home, huh? Lovely, isn’t it? Yeah. Well, I know Victor came from poverty and I know from poor, but even that orphanage Marcus and I lived in didn’t smell like sheep. It’s goat. Goats. Mm-hmm. Okay. Goats and a wine cellar. What do you know? You know, speaking of wine, Bo did encourage me to, uh, crack open a white.

Oh, well, we might as well get the best of it while we’re stuck here. Mm. I don’t really think so because, uh, my prescription for you would be water and aspirin to get rid of that big headache. I know you are pretending not to have. Okay, Dr. Sweetness. Mm-hmm. We’ll hold off on the line until we’re outta here.

Oh, no, no, no. We are gonna have champagne. Oh, when we get out of here, champagne? Mm-hmm. Yeah. When we all get back to Salem, we’re gonna crack open the champagne and we’re gonna party. We’re gonna sing and dance. And you and I,

I’m gonna dance the night away. How about that? Sounds lovely. But the truth is just being with you, even in this old yucky wine cellar, far, far away from home, I’m just. So happy and grateful because you are all I really.

I don’t know how Brady and I can come back from this, but I also don’t know how to give up. I mean, I’ve loved him for so long. I understand that. But I mean, honestly, if you and Brady can’t work it out because of the kid, it’s. I know it’ll be hard for a while, but it’s not like Brady Black is only fish in the sea.

There’s plenty of handsome available men in Salem. Like who? What am I shot tag is. No, but you are the man who left me in the clutches of a Mexican drug. Lord, you were just never gonna let that go, huh? It’s kind of hard to fine. I admit that I have some flaws and I have behaved abominably at times. Now.

Come on. Compared to Brady. Come on. I’m much better looking. I’m more intelligent. I’ve broader shoulders. I’m, I’m wittier wise. I have this charming accent. Still can’t let the lefties die stuff go, huh? No. Still can’t let it go.

Rachel has been playing in a room for hours. I offered to take her out for an ice cream cone and she refused. Is she feeling all right? No, she, she, she. She didn’t want you to know that she was grounded. Oh yeah. I’ve been keeping close track of her because the other day she decided to skip school and then take an Uber to Statesville to see Kristen.

She Ubered to Statesville. She did, and that’s not all, although I, I, I forced Kristen to write a letter to Rachel. Saying that she accepted Chloe and that Rachel should too. Don’t, don’t ask me how I managed to force her to do this. Okay. Okay. It’s a whole nother story, but Rachel, she saw right through it.

And even before the letter, Kristen had done such a good job of convincing Rachel that Chloe was the enemy. I thought we could work through it, but it’s just escalated The other day at lunch, Rachel just told Chloe that she hated her. That she hated her, and out of anger and frustration, Chloe. Right back at her.

Oh, no, no, no. It’s, I don’t know what to do because I want to put my kid first as parent. I feel like I should. I don’t want Rachel to be miserable, but if I don’t fix this thing with Chloe, I’m gonna be miserable. I know. I had the same problem with John and Sammy and me. I, I, I remember how horrible I was as a teenager.

I remember the things that I said to you, but you, you, you took it with patience and grace. You were acting out of pain. That’s exactly what Rachel is doing too. But remember what happened? Hmm? You outgrew. Yeah, but it took years. I mean, you and John, you were, you were, you were married already. You were a solid couple.

There was no way I was gonna come between the two of you, but Rachel, Rachel thinks that with enough anger and enough anxiety, I’ll get back together with her mom and the top it all up, I got Xander moving in on Chloe. Wait, wait. Xander Cook, is there another Xander out? Harley, I just didn’t think he was her type.

Yeah. Whether he is or not, they’re, they’re hanging out. I’m sure they’re just friends, I’m sure for now. Oh honey, I’m so sorry. How can I help tell you what? Could you talk to Rachel? I mean, could I, I think you might be able to get through to her. Of course. I’ll do it right now. Yeah. Okay. Thank doc. Thank you.

Look, I don’t have any expectations. I just, with the exception of myself, I think you might be the one person in the world that can make her understand things well. I will do my best, but please don’t expect any miracles. Hmm. Actually, I think the fact that she has her precious grandmother, Someone to talk to and someone to comfort her.

I think that’s miracle enough. Love you.

My dad is still not picking up at Went street in voicemail. Could have all we. No reception there. Is it the best?

Maggie kept her. Her assistant just sent over a list of Victor’s properties in Greece. I’ll text it to my dad. Oh god, Chad. I mean, I know we don’t have anything concrete, but it feels like we’re getting closer because we are. We’re gonna find your mom’s stuff. What do you mean you’re gonna find her mom?

She’s alive. Hi, mom is alive.

Where do you think be went? I thought he would be eager to supervise my scientific endeavors. Yeah. And I’m surprised he put me in here with you. He must know. I try to break us outta here. Did you ever think we’re getting my brother? I do. I think the real bow is still in there. You know, back at the police station, he threatened me with a knife.

He said he was gonna take my other eye out, but he couldn’t go through with it. Fuck no. Instead, he just hit you with the butt of his gun. Well, he knew I’d be all right otherwise, why would he throw me down here and keep me alive? He’s not thinking ration.

I think that deep down Bo knows he needs us to save him from himself. Do you remember what got through to me and John when Megan messed with our heads? It was love and that’s what’s gonna get through to Bo, his sister, his best friend, his wife, his. He’s gonna feel all our love and he’s gonna come back to us just like I came back to you.

Ah, well, uh, in the good news department, Rachel is busy perfecting her 3D printing skills. Okay. I did ask her about Chloe and she was not. Very receptive. So I will, I will try again tomorrow. Actually. Uh, I know you said that this might be a long process, but time is something I don’t think I have. I feel Chloe just.

I’m slipping through my fingers as we speak. It may already be too late.

It’s amazing. I did it. Bullseye again. I am so good at this. Ah, I think actually you might be a millimeter off. Okay. Either you need glasses or you’re just a sore loser. Me Never. I’m proud of you. To your newfound dark prowess and to both of us for letting over the past and getting on with our wire.

Well, I think the universe is trying to tell me something. Looks like the rumors are true. What rumors? Well, according to Leo, your Salem’s new hottest couple. Looks like he was right.

I am really happy for you, Steph. I can’t tell you what a relief it is for me either. Relief. You barely knew my mom. True. What if she’s alive? Um, at least now I know that I didn’t deprive you. Being able to say goodbye to her. After all.

What’s Seth? It’s an old letter I found from Victor to my mother, a plea to come visit him here in Greece. I don’t think she ever read it. It said return to send her.

Looks like it makes you sad. Yeah, it does. I’m not really sure why. I mean, obviously I’m glad my mom stayed with my pop. I always felt like they had a wonderful marriage. But I find myself feeling sorry for Victor, Kiki. Why? I guess there’s just something tragic about him. Pining after her all these years kind of reminds me of when we found those letters from Emily and Didion.

Yeah. Remember how sad we were that we didn’t think that they would get there happily ever after

they did. And we will too, baby.

You’re right. You’re,

I love you.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Eric goes to Sloan’s apartment and finds the door cracked open. Eric rushes inside and calls out for Sloan but Jada comes down the stairs. Eric questions what is going on and what Jada is doing there.

Talia goes to Rafe’s office and asks if Jada is around. Rafe says she’s out on a call and asks if she wants to leave a message for her. Talia says no, but since she’s here, she asks if Rafe and Jada enjoyed their dinner last night. Abe overhears this from outside the door and enters the office, questioning what dinner.

Chanel goes home and tells Paulina that the bakery was busy and almost sold out, but she managed to save some for Paulina and Abe. They joke about her diet as Chanel brings up Paulina seeing the cardiologist. Paulina points out that she was given a clean bill of health. Paulina recalls when she went to the appointment, Chanel said she was going to handle Sloan, so she assumes this is her doing as she shows her laptop with Leo’s latest column about Sloan, titled “Is Salem’s Top Legal Eagle a Total Psycho?”

Sloan goes to Leo’s room at the Salem Inn. Leo asks what her problem is. Sloan says it’s his stupid little gossip column. Leo jokes that she read that and immediately came over assuming it was about her, so that means the story is true. Sloan warns Leo to fix this or she will end him.

Gwen enters the Pub and sees Xander and Chloe together. Gwen remarks that it looks like the rumors are true. Chloe questions what rumors. Gwen responds that according to Leo, they are Salem’s new hottest couple and it looks like he was right. Xander questions what she is talking about. Gwen responds that she walked in and heard them toasting to letting go of the past and moving on, so it’s very clear that they are moving on with each other. Xander tells Gwen that she doesn’t understand. Gwen argues that Xander lied to her when he said he couldn’t be with her because he was still very in love with Sarah, but now she sees he’s cozying up to Chloe. Gwen complains about how Chloe treated her and Leo. Gwen declares that as far she’s concerned, they deserve each other.

Jada informs Eric that she’s here on official police business. Eric asks if anything happened to Sloan. Jada says not that she knows of and explains that she came to question her but she wasn’t around, so she decided to take a look around. Eric accuses her of breaking in. Jada informs Eric that the supervisor let her in when she showed her warrant. Eric asks if this is about the letter. Jada responds that there’s been a break in the case as last night, Paulina received a very threatening text message and she thinks Sloan might know something about it.

Abe questions Rafe and Jada having dinner together, reminding Rafe that they talked about this. Rafe assures that it was very platonic and explains that he ran in to Jada and Talia at the Pub, so they decided to sit at a table together. Rafe asks if that’s against the policy or if he should have fled the Pub entirely to maintain the police department’s sparkling reputation. Rafe introduces Abe to Talia and notes that she was also there the other night. Talia tells Abe it’s nice to meet him. Abe recognizes her name as working with Chanel and helping Paulina through her panic attack. Talia hopes Paulina is feeling a lot less stress now. Abe says not so much because this situation with Sloan is getting to her.

Chanel mocks the idea of the article hurting Sloan’s feelings. Paulina asks if it was Chanel’s work then and told all to Leo. Chanel responds that Leo doesn’t reveal his sources. Paulina says that Sloan will know who gave this to Leo. Chanel feels it’s about time that Sloan realizes that they hit back and this will hit her where it hurts. Chanel states that the only thing Sloan cares about other than making them miserable, is her law practice. Chanel wonders how many people will be looking for a psycho lawyer. Paulina hopes she’s right that this backs Sloan off and that last night’s text will be the end of it. Chanel questions what text.

Leo tells Sloan to chill and asks what exactly she wants him to do. Sloan tells Leo to issue an immediate retraction and admit that he made the whole story up. Leo responds that he got his intel from a very reliable source. Sloan guesses that was Paulina. Leo says as a journalist, he does not reveal his sources. Sloan argues that he’s not a journalist and calls him an insignificant little worm, who is about to have his ass sued for libel. Leo argues that it’s not libel if it’s true. Sloan calls it untrue that she has been harassing Paulina. Leo points out that she has motive and keeps insisting that Chanel killed her mother. Leo calls it a sad story and he’s sure the public would be on her side if she confessed in detail in his column, then they could get the whole town to hate Paulina and Chanel instead of just her. Leo turns on his recorder and suggests that Sloan tell him everything.

Eric argues that Jada has no proof that Sloan sent that text. Jada says that’s why she is here. Eric is pretty sure that Sloan has her phone with her. Jada says she could’ve used a different phone, so she decided to poke around a bit but admits she hasn’t found anything yet. Jada notes that she did notice Eric has his own drawer now, so things must be getting pretty serious. Eric states that he doesn’t need a lecture on why he shouldn’t be dating Sloan. Jada says it was just an observation but she knows it’s none of her business. Jada tells Eric that she just wants him to be happy, no matter who he is with. Eric responds that he wants her to be happy too. Eric then asks Jada if there is anybody new in her life.

Rafe asks Abe if Paulina is okay. Abe responds that she got a clean bill of health but all the harassment and pressure doesn’t let up. Rafe swears to get to the bottom of it. Abe knows he will and asks if he’s heard from Jada on if she was able to question Sloan about the text. Rafe says she hasn’t checked in yet but he will call Abe know as soon as he does. Abe apologizes for before and assures Rafe that he does trust him. Abe tells Talia that it was nice to meet her and says he’ll talk to Rafe later as he then exits the office. Talia apologizes to Rafe for getting him in trouble. Rafe says it’s okay but asks her to stop trying to push he and Jada together. Talia jokingly asks if she was that obvious. Rafe reminds her that he’s a trained detective. Talia jokes about Jada liking him so much. Rafe tells Talia that she heard Abe, he is Jada’s boss and there are rules against this so nothing can happen. Talia calls it a shame because they would make a great couple. Rafe repeats that nothing can happen. Jada asks if Rafe would be making his move if not for the policy.

Paulina shows Chanel the text she got that says “your husband can’t save you”. Chanel can’t believe Sloan sent this. Paulina says it was technically anonymous but they both know it was Sloan. Chanel asks if she told the police. Paulina assures that Abe is taking care of it. Chanel calls Sloan twisted. Paulina adds that Sloan practically gloated when she ran in to her last night. Paulina then reveals that she had another panic attack but claims it was no big deal and she got calmed down. Chanel guesses there is more. Paulina informs her that Sloan mocked her and walked away before knowing she was okay. Chanel calls Sloan a bitch. Paulina assures that she’s fine and that Sloan will get hers eventually, one way or another.

Sloan tells Leo that there is nothing to confess because she’s innocent. Leo suggests she read the comments of his column where everyone thinks she’s guilty. Sloan says that’s why she wants a retraction. Leo argues that it’s too late because the public has already made up it’s mind, so the only way to turn things around is to share her sob story and get people to feel sorry for her. Sloan asks why she would do that when Leo would just twist her words. Leo tries asking her which magazines she used to cut out the letters for the note. Sloan asks why that matters and calls him a hack. Leo urges her to work with him. Sloan demands an immediate retraction by tomorrow or else she will sue him. Sloan then storms out of the room.

Xander tells Gwen that it’s none of her business, but he and Chloe were just having a drink together and there’s nothing romantic going on. Gwen asks what about last night when she walked in and they were in each others’ arms. Chloe explains that she was upset about Brady and Xander was comforting her. Gwen asks about the photo that Leo took of them and shows it to them. Xander asks if Leo thinks he’s using the picture in his column. Gwen says not to worry as she killed the story like Xander did about Leo’s story on Chloe. Chloe points out that she was happy that Xander did that, so she hugged him. Gwen asks if that’s how they shacked up and traded sex for favors. Xander repeats that there’s nothing going on between them and asks why Gwen cares anyways when she’s sleeping with Alex. Gwen responds that she doesn’t care, she just doesn’t like being lied to. Gwen says if Xander didn’t want to be with her, he could’ve just told her instead of making up an excuse about being hung up on Sarah. Gwen calls Xander a coward and tells him to just admit he and Chloe are together now. Xander then gives in and tells Gwen that she’s right. Xander declares he’s fallen madly in love with Chloe and doesn’t care who knows it as he then grabs Chloe and kisses her, shocking Gwen.

Jada tells Eric that she’s not seeing anybody right now as she’s focused on work. Eric hopes she doesn’t neglect her personal life for too long as she deserves to be with somebody great. Jada thanks him and decides to get going. Jada asks Eric to remind Sloan to stop by the police station the first chance she gets. Eric agrees to tell her. Jada hopes Sloan is aware that they have ways to access deleted messages. Eric really thinks Sloan had nothing to do with this. Jada says it would still be in her best interest to cooperate as she then exits the apartment.

Rafe tells Talia that he should get back to work. Talia complains that he’s avoiding the question. Rafe says he will let Jada know that she stopped by. Talia argues that he doesn’t need to answer the question because she can see in their eyes that they like each other and they just need to find a way around the regulations. Rafe tells Talia that there are a lot of people in this town that he trusts and he hasn’t discussed this situation with them, so she shouldn’t be offended that he won’t with her either. Talia jokes that Rafe is right up Jada’s alley.

Abe comes home and sees what Chanel brought from the bakery but Paulina says that’s for later as Chanel went to the Bistro to pick up dinner. Paulina adds that Chanel was pretty upset when she told her about Sloan walking away from her during her panic attack and about the text message. Abe mentions talking to Rafe about that and that he sent Jada to Sloan’s apartment, so as soon as she reports back, he will give him an update. Paulina hopes they nail Sloan to the wall. Abe declares that in the meantime, he thinks they should leave Salem.

Sloan confronts Chanel in the town square and tells her to tell Paulina to stop spreading lies to the reporters. Chanel reveals that she did it, not Paulina, and says they weren’t lies. Sloan warns that if Chanel was the one who talked to Leo, then she’s the one who will go back and set the record straight. Chanel argues that the record is already straight. Chanel accuses Sloan of trashing Paulina’s office and sending the text. Sloan questions what text. Chanel tells her about the text that said “your husband can’t save you”. Sloan denies sending it so Chanel asks who else would send it. Sloan suggests one of the other hundred thousand people that hate that old obnoxious bitch. Chanel responds to that by slapping Sloan. Sloan shouts that she will kill her and attacks Chanel.

Paulina questions Abe wanting to move out of Salem. Abe clarifies that he didn’t say move but just an extended vacation and points out that they never had a honeymoon. Paulina argues that this is about getting away from Sloan. Abe admits that it is and says the police are on the case, so once Sloan is behind bars, they’ll come back. Paulina complains that they would be running away. Abe encourages her not to think about it like that. Abe says she’s under a lot of stress and Paris is beautiful this time of year. Paulina says she would love to but she can’t leave Chanel alone. Abe suggests she come with them but Paulina argues that Chanel won’t leave her bakery for that long which means she has to stay and protect her from Sloan, especially after she got Leo to run that column in the Spectator. Abe is not sure that’s a good idea with what they know about Sloan.

Chanel and Sloan fight in the town square. Chanel calls her a psycho while Sloan says Chanel is the one who killed her mother. Chanel grabs a bouquet of flowers and starts hitting Sloan with them until Talia runs out to break it up. Sloan argues that Chanel started it. Chanel responds that she has no problem finishing it. Talia declares it ends now and warns Sloan to leave before she calls the cops. Sloan remarks that she had no problem filing a restraining order against Paulina and guesses she will have to file one against Chanel too. Sloan then walks off. Tanel checks on Chanel, who shouts that she hates Sloan. Talia sees that Chanel is bleeding. Chanel calls it just a scratch while Talia worries that it could be infected. Talia decides to take Chanel to the bakery where they have a first aid kit.

Jada joins Rafe in his office. Rafe asks how it went with Sloan. Jada informs him that she wasn’t home so she just looked around the apartment and only found that she has crap taste in music and more handcuffs than the department, but no burner phone or cutout magazines. Rafe asks if she left a message. Jada confirms that she did on Sloan’s phone and with Eric. Rafe asks how it went with Eric. Jada says it went how it always does with an ex but she thought it was good thing because she saw him living there with a dominatrix who listens to Coldplay and realized she is over him.

After Xander suddenly kissed Chloe, he asks Gwen if she’s satisfied. Gwen calls him a pig and storms out of the Pub. Xander calls Gwen a nut. Chloe remarks that Gwen was right about one thing, he is a pig, and she then slaps him.

Gwen goes home where Leo tells her that she won’t believe what he just went through. Gwen says he won’t believe her day either as she tells Leo that he was right about Xander and Chloe. Gwen says they were at the Pub and she was showing her cleavage while he was undressing her with his eyes. Leo asks Gwen if quietly walked away but Gwen says she went over to confront them. Gwen adds that at first, Xander said nothing was going on but then he kissed Chloe right in front of her. Leo is happy and exclaims that this means they are winning, leaving Gwen confused.

Xander questions why Chloe slapped him. Chloe argues that he assaulted her. Xander says he just gave her a kiss while Chloe complains that it was in public for someone else’s benefit. Chloe doesn’t like being dragged in to his relationship with Gwen and especially not being used as a prop for his ex. Xander admits she has a point. Chloe asks if he stopped to think for a second about what he did. Chloe complains that Gwen will go straight to Leo, who will put it in his next column, and then Brady will read it. Xander thought she was moving on. Chloe argues that she never said that but it still doesn’t give him a right to maul her in public. Xander apologizes and admits he didn’t think. Xander repeats that he is sorry because he really would like them to be friends.

Jada tells Rafe that she’ll get started on the report. Rafe adds that her sister stopped by to see her and then mentioned their dinner last night in front of Abe. Jada says she will tell her to back off. Rafe notes that he already did that but it did not seem to phase her. Rafe says Talia went from their dinner together to how unfair the policy is and then concluded with how clearly attracted they are to each other. Jada says she’s sorry and she’s mortified. Rafe says it’s okay and he just wanted her to know that Talia clearly hasn’t given up her campaign. Jada assures that she will handle her but insists that she has never encouraged that as she knows there can be nothing between them and that Rafe has no interest in her in that way. Rafe thinks the problem is that he actually is interested.

Sloan comes home and finds Eric cleaning up the apartment. Sloan questions what all this is. Eric explains that Jada executed a search warrant after someone sent Paulina a threatening text message last night. Sloan remarks that apparently she’s already been tried and found guilty. Eric mentions Jada leaving a message that they want Sloan to come to the police station. Sloan complains that she’s getting tired of this. Eric adds that they want her to bring her phone and she better do what they say. Sloan assures that she has nothing to hide and offers her phone so Eric can see for himself.

Talia takes care of Chanel’s wound at the bakery. Chanel jokes that it was good to hire a doctor. Talia comments on Chanel getting in a street brawl and that it really looked like they were going to kill each other. Chanel admits she’s really glad Talia showed up when she did in general. Chanel says when Allie left, she lost not only her girlfriend but also her business partner and she was feeling overwhelmed until Talia showed up and now she’s finally seeing a path forward. Chanel thanks Talia for everything.

Gwen tells Leo that she doesn’t get how she’s winning. Leo encourages that her sexual exploits with Alex have made Xander mad with jealousy, so now he’s trying to make her jealous by stripping Chloe. Gwen remarks that it doesn’t feel like winning to her. Leo insists that Xander is using Chloe so that Gwen will come back to him. Gwen suggests maybe Leo’s plan backfired and now Xander has real feelings for Chloe. Leo admits he hadn’t thought of that.

Xander tells Chloe that he’s really sorry and asks for another chance. Chloe relates to being provoked in to doing something you regret. Chloe admits she’s actually really enjoyed hanging out with Xander and she never thought she’d be leaning on him for emotional support. Chloe jokes with Xander that they are good as long as he keeps his dirty paws away from her.

Jada questions what Rafe just said. Rafe clarifies that if he wasn’t her boss, he would ask her out. Jada responds that she would say yes. Rafe says he thought if they were aware of the situation, they could be more in control of the situation. Jada agrees but thinks the problem is not that he’s her boss because he’s very good and professional. Jada thinks the problem is the policy. Rafe says the policy is still real so nothing can happen. Jada decides to get going now that that’s settled. They say goodnight to one another as Jada then exits the office.

Eric tells Sloan that he doesn’t need to see her phone as he believes her. Sloan states that at least someone does. Eric does have one question and asks why she has baby’s-breath from a bouquet in her hair. Sloan says it’s been a long day and she’s going to shower. Sloan asks Eric to make dinner or order in because she’s not in the mood to go out as she’s had it with the good people of Salem. After Sloan goes to shower, Eric picks up her phone.

Abe tells Paulina that he wasn’t just trying to get her away from Sloan and it’s not that he doesn’t like having Chanel here, but he would like a little alone time with her. Paulina says once Sloan is behind bars, they will be Paris bound and they kiss. Paulina and Abe get the table set for dinner while Paulina decides to text Chanel to find out where she is.

Chanel and Talia are interrupted by Paulina’s text. Chanel says she should get going since Paulina wants her dinner. Talia tells Chanel that she’s all bandaged up and good to go. Chanel notes that they always order too much and invites Talia to join them for dinner. Talia asks if she’s sure as she doesn’t want to intrude. Chanel assures that Paulina loves her and will be happy to see her again. Talia accepts the invite and thanks her. Chanel thanks Talia for the medical assistance and they leave together. After they leave, someone sneaks in to the bakery and pours something in to a bowl of dough to tamper with their product..

Update written by Joseph

Alex goes to Gwen’s room at the Salem Inn. Alex says he knows she’s busy but her assistant told him that she was working from home. Gwen says it’s okay and invites him in. Alex says he just needs to vent about his infuriating relative and figured she might understand. Gwen assumes he’s talking about Xander, so she says she is all ears.

Chloe and Xander play darts at the Brady Pub. Chloe talks about her bad last shot and how this time she is closing her eyes to concentrate first. Chloe then throws and hits a bullseye which excites her. Xander congratulates her and they hug as Brady walks in and greets them.

During hypnosis, Marlena asks if Stephanie still hears the sound of her mother’s voice but she doesn’t so Marlena brings her out of the hypnosis. Marlena asks how she feels. Stephanie says she’s fine and asks if it worked. Chad worries that he messed it up by asking who’s name Stephanie heard and thinks he threw it off. Stephanie confirms that she did hear Kayla say a name. Chad asks if it was Thomas Banks, but Stephanie reveals that she’s pretty sure it was Victor Kiriakis. Stephanie confirms that’s definitely what Kayla said. Chad wonders what it means and what Victor could possibly have to do with Kayla’s kidnapping.

Kayla helps Steve up and sits him in a chair in the wine cellar, asking if he’s okay. Steve asks if it’s really her and kisses her as they tearfully reunite.

Alex tells Gwen that he’s sorry to disappoint and as much as detests Xander, he’s here about Maggie, who he calls the boss from Hell. Gwen asks what she did now. Alex says he had an unbelievable opportunity land in his lap with the four prisms that the DiMeras and ISA were trying to get their hands on for decades. Alex says he found out Dr. Rolf had them and he pulled some strings so the prisms would’ve belonged to Titan in the biggest deal of the century but Maggie didn’t understand and made him go crawling back. Alex calls this a catastrophe because they lost and now the prisms will end up in the wrong hands and who knows what they will be used for.

Steve hopes he’s not dreaming and Kayla assures that it’s real as they kiss. Kayla tells him that she’s missed him so much. Steve thought he was going to have to miss her forever and to live without her. Steve calls this a miracle. Kayla asks how badly he’s hurt. Steve questions her worrying about him after everything she’s been through. Steve says he just has a little headache from where Bo pistol whipped him and doesn’t suppose that was a dream either. Steve can’t believe it and talks about Bo being dead for years but there he was alive and then he treated him like his sworn enemy. Kayla explains that Megan brainwashed him so he’s not really Bo and is like a heartless impostor. Steve asks if Bo was working with Thomas Banks in taking Kayla off the island. Kayla doesn’t know anything about that and asks why. Steve informs her that Megan said Thomas was the one who took her. Kayla calls Megan a liar and complains that Bo went rogue and Megan knew it. Kayla figures Megan just didn’t want to give Hope the satisfaction of knowing that Bo is alive. Steve asks if she knows why Bo brought her here. Kayla explains that Bo wants her to use the prisms to create the miracle serum that Dr. Rolf and Megan have been working on. Kayla says she doesn’t even have any idea how to do it, so they are never getting out of here. Steve encourages that so many people are looking for her and they know he’s here now, so it’s only a matter of time before they are found.

Stephanie goes over that they know Kayla is in Greece and Victor is from Greece. Marlena wonders if Victor was somehow involved in Kayla’s disappearance. Stephanie doesn’t know what to think. Chad suggests going straight to Victor directly. Stephanie agrees and adds that they could get Maggie involved to help. Chad assures that Maggie will be on their side.

Gwen tells Alex that she still doesn’t understand why Victor made Maggie the CEO of Titan and argues that she doesn’t seem very bright or have much experience. Gwen insists that Maggie can’t afford to lose Alex because she needs his energy and business sense. Gwen calls him a tremendous asset to the company. Alex thanks her but says unfortunately Maggie thinks he’s a liability so that’s why Maggie is dying to replace him and probably will. Gwen questions who she would replace him with and who would want to take a thankless job. Alex tells her that it starts with an X. Alex says that Xander is miserable as Gwen’s business partner so he’d be happy to abandon the Spectator and make his mark on Titan. Alex adds that Xander would also be punishing him for taking his place in Gwen’s bed, by taking his spot in Titan.

Brady questions what’s going on here. Xander says they are just playing darts while Brady points out that Chloe hates darts. Xander says not anymore as she just got a bullseye. Chloe tells Brady that she and Xander were eating alone at separate tables, so they just ran in to each other. Chloe asks how Rachel is doing. Brady says she’s okay and happy to have Marlena back. Chloe tells him how sorry and ashamed she is of what she said to Rachel and says it’s no excuse but she was so hurt from Rachel saying she hated her. Xander assures that Brady understands, but Brady tells him to stay out of this. Xander argues that if Brady doesn’t understand, that would be very unkind of him since Rachel is being horrible to Chloe. Brady tells him to shut up while Xander continues saying that Rachel has provoked Chloe over and over again until she finally couldn’t take it anymore, lost her temper, and gave Rachel a taste of her own nasty medicine. Brady warns Xander not to talk about his daughter and that he has no idea what she’s been through. Brady adds that Rachel’s mother is in prison, so as a parent, he tries to give her tenderness and understanding. Brady questions how any of this is Xander’s business and then questions Chloe telling him about it. Chloe apologizes but says she was upset and needed someone to talk to. Brady questions confiding in Xander of all people in Salem. Xander argues that he happens to be compassionate and understanding. Xander remarks that he’s glad that Chloe stood up to Brady’s spiteful daughter. Brady calls Xander spiteful and insensitive, arguing that he doesn’t know what it’s like to be a parent so he can’t talk like he does. Brady adds that Xander doesn’t even know how to be a decent human being. Xander brings up that he gave Alex a black eye the other day, so maybe Brady would like one too.

Steve tells Kayla how crushed their kids were to lose her and brings up how Stephanie didn’t make it to the hospital in time before she supposedly died and she was so tortured by that. Kayla can’t wait to see Joey, Tripp, and Stephanie. Kayla worries that Steve needs stitches but Steve assures it will heal fine. Kayla says it’s bad enough that Bo kidnapped her, but now to hurt him this way. Steve insists that they will be fine and Bo will be too. Kayla hopes so but feels that Bo somehow broke away from Megan’s mind control. Kayla talks about all Bo has been through over ten years in limbo with whatever Dr. Rolf and Megan did to him. Kayla worries that Bo is at war with himself because he kept talking about wanting a fresh start and figuring out who he really is. Steve asks if being Bo Brady doesn’t appeal to him anymore. Kayla says she kept trying to appeal to him about their past but Bo didn’t want to hear it and just dismissed it. Kayla adds that Bo wants to build an empire with wealth and power. Kayla thinks it’s all about being Victor’s son or maybe even his clone.

Gwen encourages Alex that Titan is his birthright, so she warns him not to roll over and let Xander take his job. Gwen questions why Maggie would want Xander anyway after he screwed her daughter over. Alex remarks that it seems Maggie has a soft spot for Xander and just forgives him for whatever he does. Alex can’t believe Maggie gives Xander a pass at every turn, but get pissed off at him if he even sits in her CEO chair. Alex stops and apologizes but Gwen tells him to go ahead and insult Xander because she doesn’t care. Alex asks if she no longer has a soft spot for Xander. Gwen asks why should she. Gwen adds that ever since taking a step back from their relationship, Xander has been avoiding her at every turn and didn’t even bother to show up at the office for work today. Alex asks if he at least had an excuse but Gwen says he didn’t call or even bother go give an excuse. Gwen remarks that it’s no mystery where he’s spending his time now and that he’s probably cozying up to Chloe as they speak.

Chloe tries to stop Xander and Brady from fighting. Xander calls Brady arrogant and self righteous, bringing up that he fathered a child with a sadistic psychopath. Brady warns him not to go there. Chloe says that’s enough. Brady agrees and then Chloe tells him he can leave. Brady refuses to leave until he talks to Chloe. Xander asks if Chloe wants to talk to him. Brady argues that Chloe can speak for herself and asks if they can talk. Chloe asks Xander to give them a few minutes. Xander agrees and goes to get another round of drinks. Brady sits with Chloe and says he wants to fix this which surprises Chloe. Chloe cries that she was so terrible to his daughter and feels horrible about it. Chloe says she would understand why that would be a deal breaker. Brady says it doesn’t have to be and that Rachel just needs to understand that Chloe doesn’t hate her. Chloe asks how she could hate Rachel when she’s just a child who has been through way too much lately. Chloe says her heart breaks for her having Kristen as a mother. Chloe adds that she truly loves Rachel and wishes she didn’t see her as the enemy or as the person who came between her and her mother. Brady encourages that they used to have a great relationship. Chloe wishes she could have that again but cries that she can’t take back what she said, so Rachel just thinks of her as the evil step monster. Chloe asks how to change that. Brady says he will talk to her. Chloe offers to write an apology but Brady says he seems to be the only one who can get through to her. Chloe is not sure talking will be enough to get Rachel to see her in a better light, feeling that it’s going to take a miracle. Brady questions if she’s saying she wants to give up because of this issue with his daughter. Chloe cries that she doesn’t. Xander then comes back and asks Chloe if she’s ready for a rematch at darts. Brady then gets up and walks out of the Pub.

Alex questions Gwen about Xander and Chloe. Gwen informs him that she saw them with their heads together the other day. Gwen says she stopped Leo from putting it in his column, thinking he was making something out of nothing, but now she’s having second thoughts. Gwen shows Alex the photo that Leo sent her of Xander and Chloe hugging and asks if that looks platonic to him. Alex says maybe. Gwen says maybe she should’ve let Leo run the story then, especially since he replaced it with something Sloan would have gone mental over. Gwen wonders if Leo was right about Chloe and Xander because after she told Leo it was rubbish, she walked in and saw the two of them in each others’ arms.

Xander tries to encourage Chloe to another game of darts but Chloe doesn’t want to play anymore. Xander blames Brady for making her feel worse. Chloe says she’s just miserable and full of regret and guilt. Chloe adds that Xander threatening to beat up Brady didn’t help. Xander apologizes and argues that Rachel treating Chloe like dirt and Brady doing nothing to protect her from it is outrageous. Chloe argues that there’s nothing Brady can do to protect her from it because Kristen has convinced Rachel that she’s evil and that she’s keeping her from her mother, so now Rachel just wants her out of her and Brady’s life. Xander guesses all he did by nixing Leo’s article was postpone the inevitable. Chloe asks what he means. Xander says from personal and recent experience, there comes a point of no return in a failing relationship. Xander talks about trying to go back to before it all fell apart and trying to make it work, but it’s already over and just a matter of admitting it to yourself. Xander says he could have saved he and Sarah so much heartache if he just let go, but now they are divorced and Sarah can’t even bring herself to live in Salem. Chloe asks if he thinks she and Brady are at the point of no return. Xander responds that it doesn’t matter what he thinks and asks what she thinks.

Brady goes home where Marlena is reading. Brady talks about still getting goosebumps when he sees her because he’s so grateful that she is there. Marlena feels the same and is grateful to be alive and home with family she loves. Brady asks if there’s any news about Kayla. Marlena responds that they may be making progress as Chad and Stephanie were over and they think Victor may be able to shine some light on where Kayla is. Brady questions that. Marlena explains that Victor is not involved in Kayla’s disappearance but Stephanie remembered Kayla saying something about him. Brady says that could be crucial to finding Kayla and offers to talk to Victor. Marlena says they will see how they do and if they don’t discover anything, then maybe Brady can give it a try.

Chad and Stephanie go to the Titan office where Maggie asks what she can do for them. Chad asks if Victor is around. Maggie says he’s out of town. Stephanie says they needed to ask him something. Maggie suggests asking her and maybe she could help. Chad explains that Kayla is in Greece and asks if Maggie can think of any reason why Kayla would bring up Victor’s name when Stephanie asked where she was. Maggie says she can’t be sure but Victor has investment properties all over Greece. Stephanie asks for a list of those properties. Maggie says she has access and get her assistant on it right away. Stephanie says that would be very helpful. Chad thanks her and asks if she can think of anyone in Greece that is connected to Victor. Maggie says they will keep their ears out and if they hear anything, they will be their first call.

Steve and Kayla talk about this being Victor’s childhood home. Steve comments on the smell of goats. Kayla mentions that Bo did encourage her to open up a bottle from the wine cellar. Steve suggests making the best of it while they are stuck here but Kayla thinks he should stick to water and aspirin for his headache. Steve agrees to hold off on wine until they get out. Kayla assures they will have champagne when they get out. Steve agrees that they will party, sing, and dance back in Salem. Kayla states that just being with him makes her so happy and grateful because he is all she really needs as they kiss.

Chloe tells Xander that she doesn’t know how she and Brady can come back from this but she also doesn’t know how to give up since she has loved him for so long. Xander says he understands but it’s not like Brady is the only fish in the sea as there are plenty of handsome single men in Salem. Chloe asks like who. Xander asks what he is. Chloe brings up that he left her in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord. Xander says she’s just never going to let that go. Xander admits he has some flaws and has behaved abominably at times, but jokes that he’s better looking and more intelligent than Brady. Chloe jokes that she still can’t let the left her to die stuff go as they toast their beers.

Marlena tells Brady that Rachel has been playing in her room for hours and she offered to take her out for ice cream but she refused. Brady explains that Rachel didn’t want Marlena to know that she’s grounded because she decided to skip school and take an uber to prison to see Kristen. Brady adds that he forced Kristen to write a letter to Rachel, telling her to accept Chloe, but Rachel saw through it. Brady thought they could work through it but it’s just escalated and then Rachel told Chloe that she hated her and out of anger and frustration, Chloe gave it right back. Brady doesn’t know what to do as he wants to put his kid first because he doesn’t want her to be miserable, but if he doesn’t fix things with Chloe, he’s going to be miserable. Marlena relates to having the same problem with John and Sami. Brady remembers how terrible he was to her as a teenager but she took it with grace. Marlena understands he was acting out of anger like Rachel is, but he outgrew it. Brady says that John and Marlena were already married and a solid couple, so there was no coming between them while Rachel still thinks that he and Kristen could get back together. Brady adds that to top it off, Xander is moving in on Chloe. Marlena is surprised as she didn’t think Xander was her type. Brady says whether he is or isn’t, they are hanging out. Marlena assures they are just friends. Brady agrees, for now. Marlena says she’s so sorry and asks how she can help. Brady asks Marlena to talk to Rachel, thinking she might be able to get through to her. Marlena agrees to do that right now. Brady says he has no expectations but thinks she might be the only other person in the world that can make her understand things. Marlena agrees to do her best but says not to expect any miracles. Brady thinks Rachel having her grandma back is miracle enough. Marlena then heads to Rachel’s room.

Chad and Stephanie walk through the town square as Stephanie tries calling Steve but says it’s going straight to voicemail. Chad gets a text from Maggie with the listings of Victor’s properties in Greece which Stephanie says she will text over to Steve. Stephanie knows they don’t have anything concrete, but she feels like they are getting closer. Chad encourages that they are and they are going to find her mom. Alex then appears and questions what they mean by finding her mom. Stephanie then reveals to Alex that her mom is alive.

Kayla wonders where Bo went as she thought he would be eager to supervise her scientific endeavors. Steve wonders why Bo left him with her, knowing he’d try to break them out. Kayla asks if he thinks anything will bring her brother back. Steve assures that he thinks the real Bo is still in there. Steve talks about how Bo threatened to take his other eye out but he couldn’t go through with it and kept him alive. Kayla says Bo isn’t thinking rationally. Steve believes that deep down, Bo knows he needs them to save him from himself. Steve brings up that it was love that got through to he and John when Megan messed with their minds. Steve encourages that will get through to Bo as he will feel all of their love and come back to them, just like he came back to her.

Marlena comes back from Rachel’s room and informs Brady that Rachel is busy perfecting her 3D printing skills. Marlena adds that she did ask about Chloe but Rachel was not very receptive, so she will try again tomorrow. Brady knows she said this might be a long process but he doesn’t think he has time as he feels Chloe slipping through his fingers as they speak and it may already be too late..

Chloe resumes playing darts with Xander and gets another bullseye. Xander says he’s proud of her. Xander toasts to Chloe’s new found dart prowess and to both of them letting go of the past and getting on with their lives, right as Gwen enters the Pub. Gwen thinks the universe is trying to tell her something and remarks that it looks like the rumors are true. Chloe questions what rumors. Gwen responds that according to Leo, they are Salem’s new hottest couple and it looks like he was right.

Alex tells Stephanie that he’s really happy for her and can’t tell her what a relief it is for him either. Stephanie points out that he barely knew her mom. Alex says that’s true, but if she’s alive, at least now he knows he didn’t deprive her of being able to say goodbye to her after all.

Kayla shows Steve the old letter she found from Victor to Caroline, a plea to come visit him in Greece, but she never read it as it was returned to sender. Steve notes that it looks like it makes Kayla sad. Kayla confirms it does but she’s not really sure why. Kayla is glad Caroline stayed with her father as she always felt they had a wonderful marriage, but she finds herself feeling sorry for Victor and questions why. Kayla guesses there is just something tragic about Victor pining after Caroline all these years. Steve says it reminds him of when they read the story of Emily and Gideon. Kayla recalls how sad they were, thinking they wouldn’t get their happily ever after. Steve points out that they did and they will too. Kayla hugs Steve and says she loves him.

Update written by Joseph

Marlena is reading at home until Chad shows up at the door. Marlena says it’s nice to see him and asks if he’s alright. Chad says he’s fine and that he heard she’s alive but he had to see it with his own eyes. Chad asks how she is and tells her she looks amazing. Marlena says she’s just so happy and thrilled to be back with the people she loves. Chad assures that everyone else is just as happy and calls it a miracle but notes that it’s just too bad that Kate didn’t make it too.

Stephanie is with Tripp at his apartment when her phone rings and she answers hoping it’s Kayla. Stephanie is shocked by what she hears and questions how did this happen.

Kayla opens the locked box she found in the wine cellar in Greece and finds a stack of envelopes. She wonders what could be so important for Victor to keep hidden all this time. Kayla picks one up and sees it’s a letter addressed to her mother, Caroline Brady.

Steve introduces himself to the cop in Greece and says he’s working with the ISA and needs to see the evidence found in Dr. Rolf’s room. The cop responds that he’s afraid his colleague already made that request as he arrived a few minutes before him. Steve asks if he’s still there. The cop informs him that “Mr. Donovan” is in the other room. Steve questions Shane being there. The cop suggests Steve join him while he checks to see what’s taking so long on their end. Steve goes to the room looking for Shane, but is shocked to find Bo instead. Steve asks if it’s really him and how this can be. Steve questions him being alive which Bo confirms that he is. Steve hugs Bo in shock while asking how this is possible that he’s alive. Steve then questions what Bo is doing in Greece, posing as Shane Donovan.

Hope and Harris show the photo of Thomas Banks around the restaurant until the bartender calls out that he wants to talk to them.

Stephanie says she’ll be there as soon as she can and hangs up. Tripp asks about the call. Stephanie reveals it was a hospital in Seattle as their brother Joey has been in an accident.

Kayla questions Victor keeping this letter to Caroline all these years. Kayla opens the envelope reads the letter where Victor wrote that he had just arrived in Greece and how it was terrible to leave her behind in Salem but that it was for the best after what happened between them.

Steve questions Bo about what is going on, how he’s alive, and what he’s doing here. Bo calls it a long story. Steve says that’s a story he’d like to hear. Steve explains that the cop told him that Bo said he was Shane Donovan and that he was trying to get all the evidence from Dr. Rolf’s room and asks why he would say that. Bo claims that he’s working undercover for the ISA but he can’t go in to detail. Bo says he just has to get some evidence and get the hell out. Steve asks if he’s in some kind of trouble. Bo claims he’s working a case and just has to go. Steve says not until they talk. Bo says he can’t talk as this is a highly sensitive operation. Steve argues that Kayla is missing and some psycho has her which is why he’s in Greece because he’s trying to track down Thomas Banks. Bo asks why Banks. Steve says that he and Hope have reason to believe Thomas is the one who took Kayla. Steve adds that Hope is here in Greece. Steve pulls out his phone and says he has to call Hope to tell her that Bo is alive. Bo grabs Steve’s phone away from him and says he’s not calling anyone.

The bartender in Greece introduces himself as Konstantin and says he’s the owner. He acknowledges that Hope might not mean any trouble but he recognizes seeing Harris on the news, being arrested for many crimes including trying to kill Hope on their wedding. Hope tries to explain as Konstantin questions how Harris got out of prison, assuming he must have escaped and is now a wanted man. He asks Hope if Harris is holding her against her will and then says she must be too scared to say so. He declares that Hope is safe now because he will make sure Harris never hurts anyone again.

Tripp asks Stephanie about Joey’s accident. Stephanie notes that he’s fine but pretty banged up with cracked ribs and a broken leg, so he’s in surgery now. Stephanie says that Joey is all alone and going to need help getting around so she’s going to Seattle since Steve and Kayla can’t. Tripp tells her that he will go. Stephanie argues against that, pointing out that Tripp has a job here. Tripp says she does too but Stephanie says she can work from anywhere. Tripp points out that Stephanie hasn’t slept since hearing from Kayla, so she needs to go see Marlena to see if Kayla left any clue as to where she might be. Tripp adds that Joey would want her to focus on finding Kayla. Tripp decides he will book his flight now. Stephanie thanks him and says she really appreciates it, but reminds him about his big date with Wendy.

Chad asks Marlena about Kate being in the lab too. Marlena confirms that Megan was holding all three of them. Chad goes over how now Marlena is home, Kayla is missing, and Kate’s gone. Marlena says she’s so sorry. Chad says he can’t stop thinking about Kate and trying to put all the bizarre pieces together. Chad asks what Megan wanted and what she did. Chad knows she doesn’t want to relive the nightmare, but Kate was like a mother to him and had a second chance but his own sister took it away from her. Chad states that losing Abigail how they did was a shock and having the answers made it a little easier. Marlena understands and wishes she could tell him more, but they were sedated most of the time and there was only one day where they were conscious together. Chad asks how Kate was. Marlena says she was alright and kept demanding to know what Megan planned to do with him but Megan wouldn’t tell them much and then she put them under again. Marlena adds that when she and Kayla woke up, Kate wasn’t there, so they tried to escape and find her but Dr. Rolf stopped them. Chad asks if he told them where Kate was. Marlena responds that Kate was with Megan as she was apparently going to be the first test subject of Rolf’s new serum which he said would be life changing. Marlena mentions that Megan came back and said that Kate had refused to cooperate so she was going to be taking a different path. Marlena adds that she and Kayla remained in the lab and a few minutes later, they heard a gunshot. Marlena assumes it was the same henchman who took Kayla off the island. Chad brings up Thomas Banks. Marlena says she hadn’t considered him and asks if his name came up. Chad informs her that Steve told Stephanie that Megan is claiming that Thomas Banks took Kayla.

Hope stops Konstantin and tells him there has been a misunderstanding. Hope explains that what he saw was old news and shows him an article on her phone that says Harris was cleared and found innocent of all charges. Harris confirms it’s true and says he feels terrible about all the people he hurt. Konstantin apologizes. Harris says he had every right to be upset and he’s glad that he was looking out for Hope. Hope thanks Konstantin and promises that Harris is not a danger to anyone. Hope adds that he’s actually helping her find her sister in law who was kidnapped. Hope shows Konstantin a picture of Kayla and asks if he’s seen her.

Kayla continues reading Victor’s letter to Caroline about how he wanted to stay in Salem but it had become too much of a risk with his feelings for her and that he loved her, so he didn’t want to destroy her life or her family.

Steve asks what the hell Bo is doing and says they need to call Hope and find Thomas Banks. Bo disagrees. Steve repeats that Thomas took Kayla. Bo responds that Thomas didn’t take Kayla, because he did. Steve asks what he’s talking about. Bo says he doesn’t have time to explain. Steve demands to know where Kayla is and asks if she’s alright. Bo says of course and asks if he really thinks he would hurt his own sister. Steve says he doesn’t, but he doesn’t get why Bo took Kayla off Megan’s island without telling anybody when he and John were there searching for her. Steve doesn’t know how they missed him. Bo asks what difference it makes. Steve shouts that Kayla is his wife and argues that Bo had to know how worried everyone would be. Steve questions Bo not letting anybody know and that he couldn’t find a way to make contact. Bo says he doesn’t have time for this. Steve tells Bo that he can trust him. Bo says that’s enough and he has to get this evidence. Bo tries to leave but Steve grabs him. Bo tells him to get the hell off of him.

Konstantin says he has not seen Kayla. Hope shows a photo of Thomas Banks and Konstantin confirms he has seen him but not in a few years. Hope tells Harris they should get back to the hotel and check in with Steve. Konstantin stops them and offers them a meal since he couldn’t provide them any information.

Tripp tells Stephanie that he hates to cancel on Wendy, but Joey needs him and Wendy will understand. Stephanie tells him to call her when he gets there. Stephanie hugs him and says he’s the best. Tripp wishes her luck with Marlena, hoping that she remembers something that helps Steve find Kayla. Stephanie then exits the apartment.

Kayla continues reading Victor’s letter to Caroline where he said he could never hurt her family but dreamed of them having a child together. Victor then wrote suggesting Caroline come there to Greece so they could be together.

Chad asks Marlena if she thinks Thomas took Kayla. Marlena admits it’s possible since Thomas had worked for Megan before. Chad asks if she saw Thomas in the lab. Marlena says she only saw Megan and Dr. Rolf. Marlena then remembers that there was someone else there.

Bo repeats to Steve to get the hell off of him and pulls a knife. Steve doesn’t believe he will cut him and reminds Bo that even if they haven’t seen each other in 10 years, he’s still his best friend in the world. Bo brings up that there was a time they hated each other and he took Steve’s eye. Steve asks Bo to put the knife down and talk. Bo says he’s done enough talking and warns him to let go before someone gets hurt. Steve doesn’t know what’s going on with him or what he’s been through but argues that this is not him as Bo Brady would never hurt him. Bo asks if he’s sure about that. Steve says he is but Bo then hits him and pins him against the wall with his knife held up. Bo declares that he took one of Steve’s eyes and now he’s going to take the other. Bo takes the knife and stabs through the wall next to Steve’s head. Steve laughs and says he knew Bo couldn’t do it. Bo then instead pulls out a gun. Steve says he doesn’t know what’s changed in Bo, but he can’t change 40 years of history and he’ll always be his closest friend. Bo tells him to shut the hell up and knocks him out.

Marlena tells Chad about the fourth tube in the lab and Dr. Rolf was about to tell her and Kayla who was in it, but Megan walked in so they never got a name. Marlena doesn’t think it could’ve been Thomas Banks if he’s been causing problems all around the world. Chad asks who she thinks it was then. Marlena is not sure they will ever know. Chad thanks her for telling him what happened and he’s glad to know that she and Kayla were with Kate in her last days and that she went out fighting. Marlena is glad he came by as they hug. Marlena tells Chad to call if he has any more questions. Chad says he appreciates that. Chad goes to leave and opens the door right as Stephanie arrives.

Kayla continues reading Victor’s letter to Caroline, saying he’s come to learn that nothing is more precious than time with the people you love and that he could send her a plane ticket so they could be together for awhile.

Hope tells Konstantin that she would normally say yes but they have lots of work to do. Konstantin encourages them to keep up their strength and calls Hope his best customer, saying he can’t let her leave without taking good care of her. Konstantin recalls Hope and Harris being there on the day they met and how happy they looked. Konstantin says that everyone there loved Hope and encourages them to have a seat, so they do. Konstantin announces he will recreate the magic of that night.

Wendy comes home and sees Tripp’s bag is packed. Tripp comes out of the back on his phone, booking his flight to Seattle. Wendy questions him going to Seattle. Tripp confirms that he is going this afternoon. Tripp apologizes but says his brother Joey was in an accident.

Stephanie tells Marlena that she knew she was back but it’s wonderful to see her as they hug. Stephanie asks how she’s feeling. Marlena says she’s fine and her family is taking very good care of her. Stephanie wasn’t expecting Chad to be there. Chad explains that he wanted to see a miracle with his own eyes and Marlena was kind enough to tell him what happened to Kate. Marlena repeats that she’s so sorry and asks Stephanie if there’s any news about Kayla. Stephanie says not yet, but that’s why she’s here because she was hoping Marlena might be able to help them find her. Marlena asks how she can help. Stephanie explains that Kayla called her but there was a lot of static and she could only make out that she was in Greece. Stephanie adds that Tripp thinks maybe her subconscious mind heard more, so maybe if Marlena hypnotizes her, she might remember. Stephanie knows the chances are slim but she will try anything that might help her mom. Marlena says she will too.

Hope and Harris get their dinner. They talk about this being a dead end with Thomas Banks. Harris suggests they finish their meal and then get back to the search. Harris jokes that Konstantin hopes for Hope to have an encore of smashing plates from their first night together. Harris recalls seeing Hope the same way everyone else did, as the beautiful American that everyone fell in love with.

Bo drags Steve back out to the main room of the Greece police station and asks the cop about the prisms. The cop hands over a bag with all three prisms and asks about Steve, thinking he was his colleague. Bo claims that Steve just told him that to get access to the prisms but he’s a con artist. Steve starts to regain consciousness. Bo claims that Steve came after him so he had to bash him in the head. Bo says he has to get him to a secure facility as Steve tries to say not to listen to him. Bo then drags Steve out of the room.

Wendy asks Tripp if Joey is going to be okay. Tripp says he has a broken leg but he should be just fine. Wendy asks if Joey is in surgery now. Tripp says that’s why he’s leaving now, to be there when he wakes up. Tripp tells Wendy that he’s really sorry that he’s going to miss their dinner. Wendy tells him not to worry as his brother needs him. Tripp thanks her for understanding. Tripp doesn’t know exactly when he’ll be back, but asks for a rain check on dinner. Wendy tells him to count on it and to tell Joey that she hopes he gets better soon. Tripp says he will see her soon and kisses her goodbye as he then exits.

Marlena begins to hypnotize Stephanie. Stephanie remembers talking to Kayla on the phone but there’s too much static. Marlena encourages Stephanie to block out all the static until all she hears is Kayla’s voice. Stephanie remembers that Kayla told her a name of who took her. Chad asks who it is. Marlena asks if she still hears the sound of her mother’s voice but she doesn’t so Marlena brings her out of the hypnosis. Marlena asks how she feels. Stephanie says she’s fine and asks if it worked. Chad worries that he messed it up by asking who’s name Stephanie heard and thinks he threw it off. Stephanie confirms that she did hear Kayla say a name. Chad asks if it was Thomas Banks, but Stephanie reveals that she’s pretty sure it was Victor Kiriakis.

Kayla continues reading Victor’s letter to Caroline, saying he knows it may be impossible but he hoped she would consider it. Bo returns and says he got the prisms she needed and another present. Bo then drags Steve in to the wine cellar which shocks Kayla. Bo tells her to stay back and that maybe Steve will live.

Harris and Hope enjoy their dinner and people in the restaurant begin dancing. Harris recalls Hope dancing on a table the last time. One of the men invite Hope to join them. Hope tries to decline but gives in and dances with them. Hope then joins in their tradition of smashing plates. Hope declares she’s not dancing alone and brings Harris into it as well. Hope and Harris hug in the center and end up kissing.

Bo tells Steve and Kayla to behave themselves and leaves them locked up in the wine cellar. Kayla then rushes to wake Steve up as they are reunited.

I’m sorry, C can you repeat that? I didn’t hear you. Is, is it your mom? What is she saying?

Oh no, wait. How did this happen? I don’t understand.

Could be so important that Victor would keep all

a letter to my mother. My name is Steve Johnson. I’m working with the isa. I need to see any evidence you have from the raid on Will Helm, Rolf’s hotel room. I’m afraid your colleague has already made that request. My colleague? Yes. He arrived a few minutes before you did. Is he still here? Yes. Derek Donovan is waiting on that room.

Shane. Donovan is here. Why don’t you go and join him and, uh, we’ll go see what’s taking so long.

Shane.

Oh,

is it really you?

How can this be

your You’re alive. That I am.

How is this possible? How are you

and what are you doing here in Chris posing as Shane Dono?

Let’s see if we can get these people to talk to us about Thomas Banks. I want to.

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

Thank you so much for calling. Yes, I will be there as soon as I can. Was that about Kayla? Was she all right? No, I mean, that call wasn’t about, my mom seemed urgent. Who was it? A hospital in Seattle. She’s been in an accident.

I’ve sent this back to Victor without even opening it.

Victor kept it all these years. Why?

Oh, miracle. Thank you.

Oh,

My dear is Caroline, I have just returned to Greece. It was terribly painful to leave you behind in Salem, but I knew it would be the best after what happened between us.

What’s going on? How are you alive, bitches? What are you doing here? It’s a long story. Well, that’s a story This dude would like to hear

C that cop out there. He told me that you said you were Shane Donovan, and you were trying to get all the evidence that was collected from Dr. Rolf’s hotel room. Now why would you say that

I’m working undercover for the isa? What? I can’t go into detail. I just have to get some evidence and get the hell outta here. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Are you in some kind of trouble? No, I’m not. I’m working the case and the clock is ticking. I just gotta go. No, not until we talk. I can’t talk. This is a highly sensitive operation.

It’s true. So I don’t have your operation. Listen to me. Kayla is missing some. Psycho has her. That’s why I’m here in Greece. I’m trying to track down Thomas Banks. Why banks? Hope, and I have reason to believe that he’s the one who took Kayla

Hope is here in Greece. We gotta call her and tell her you’re alive. You’re not calling anyone,

sir. We mean no harm. I know you don’t, but this one is a different story. Sir, my name is Constantine. I own You were in here a couple of years ago. Yes. I’m surprise you. Remember I never forget the face. And imagine my surprise when I saw yours again sometime later. And where was this? In the newspaper. We get a lot of tourists in here, always leaving their international papers behind.

I saw your picture on the front page. You been arrested for committing many terrible crimes. Including trying to kill you at your wedding. If I recall correctly, uh, Harris was in, how did you get outta prison, sir? You just, you must have escaped and now you are a wanted man wanted by the police. I, I can assure quiet is he holding you against your will.

Sir, of course you cannot say you are too scared. It is. All right. You are safe now and we’ll make sure he never hurts anyone again.

Joey’s been in an accident. Is he okay? He’s fine, thank God. But they said he is pretty banged up. He cracked a few ribs and he broke a leg in two places. He’s in surgery right now to have it repaired. Oh man, that’s, that’s tough. And. He’s gonna be all alone, so I, I gotta get to Seattle. Stay. He’s gonna need help getting around.

No, I know, but Dad’s in Greece looking for mom, so obviously neither of them can get there quickly. Someone has to, someone has to go right away. I will. I, I’ll go to Seattle. What? No, you don’t have to do that. No, I, I want to. Okay. Joey’s my brother too, and I do have some medical expertise and a job here.

Same as you. I can work from anywhere. Steph, you haven’t slept since you talked to your mom. Okay. You need to go see Marlena and figure out if Kayla left you any clue of where she might be. I just don’t want Joey to think that he, he won’t trust me. He wants you to focus on finding your mom and getting her back home.

Hey, look, I, I, I’ll book my flight right now. He, I’ll be in Seattle before he even wakes up.

Thank you. Trip. I really appreciate this. Of course. Oh wait, what about your big date? So when you and Kayla were in the lap, Kate was, Megan was holding all three of us

and now you’re home. Kayla’s missing and Kate’s, uh,

I’m so sorry, Chad. You can’t stop thinking about her. You, I’m trying to put all these bizarre pieces together. You know, I mean, at, at first we thought that Kay was dead and then it turns out that she’s actually alive on some island. And, uh, now,

What did Megan want? What did she do?

I, I, I know you don’t want to relive this nightmare. It’s just that Tate was like a mother to me, and knowing she had a second chance and my own sister took it away from her.

With Abigail, it was a shock. You know, losing her the way that we did, having the answers and, and knowing what happened, it didn’t take away the pain, but, uh,

um, it made it a little easier. I understand. I wish I could tell you something more. In fact, as we were, we were sedated most of the time. There actually was only one day that the three of us were, were conscious together. How was Kate? Was she all right? She was all right. She kept going after Megan, demanding to know what Megan planned to do with us.

What did Megan tell you? Not much, unfortunately.

And then she put us under again. When Kayla and I woke up, Kate wasn’t there. We tried to escape. And, and, and find her. But Ralph, stop this. Did he tell you where Kate was? She was with Megan. Apparently Kate was going to be the first test subject of Ralph’s new serum, five new. I don’t know. He just said it was going to be life changing.

How or what? I don’t know. So Megan made Kate her own personal Guinea pig. Yeah. Megan came back into the lab at one point and said that Kate had refused to cooperate, so she was going to be taking a different path.

So Kayla and I were left in the, in the lab for a while,

and then a few minutes, and then a few minutes later

we heard a gunshot. Very shot.

Uh, she said she didn’t pull the trigger, so I imagine it was her henchman, the one that had. Taking Kayla off the island. Thomas Banks, I hadn’t ever considered him. Did his name come up? Stephanie was talking to Steve yesterday and Megan is claiming that Thomas Banks is the one that took Kayla.

Sir Constantine, there’s been a misunderstanding. If you would allow me to explain, I’d be happy to. Fine. I know they read. It is not fake news, but it is old news and if you let me show you, you’ll see Commander Harris Michaels cleared of all charges. Yes. That was a few days ago. You see Harris was found innocent on all charges.

Is this true? Yeah. Look, I feel terrible about what happened to all the people I heard, but yes, it’s true. My apologi. Now you had every right to be concerned. I’m, I’m glad you were looking out for Hope. Hope Reading Forer. Thank you so much for looking out for me. And I promise you this guy here is not a danger to anyone.

In fact, he is helping me. We’re working together to find my sister-in-law who is kidnapped. Um,

her name is Kayla Johnson. Have you seen her?

As much as I wanted to stay in Salem, I could not. It had become too much of a risk. My feelings for you longing, my, my desire. It had grown so strong. I feared that simply by looking at you. I give myself away. Give away what’s in my heart.

And each day the temptation grew stronger to throw caution to the wind and tell the world just how very much I love you. That made me dangerous, Caroline. I was a ticking bomb that could go off at any moment and destroy your life, but I could never hurt your family. Not Sean or your beautiful children, not Roman or Kimberly or Little Kayla

Bo. What the hell are you doing? We need to call Hope and we need to find Thomas Banks. No, you don’t. Didn’t you hear what I said? He’s the one who took Kayla. Yeah, I heard. But no, he didn’t take her. I did. What are you talking about? I don’t have time to explain. What do you mean you can’t explain? What do you mean you took Kayla?

Where is she? Answer me. Is she all right? Of course she, you think I’d hurt my own sister? No, but I don’t understand why you took her off Megan’s Island without telling. John and I were there searching for her. I don’t know how we missed you. What difference does it make? What’s done? What’s done? What difference does it make?

Kayla’s my wife, you had to know how worried everybody would be. You couldn’t let someone know she was okay and then you were alive for God’s sake. I told you, I know you told me you were working undercover, but you couldn’t find a way to make contact. If, if not with me, at least with hope, okay? I don’t have time for this.

No, listen, well listen to me. Whatever’s going on, you can talk to me. You can trust me ina. I gotta get this evidence now. Move. No.

Get the hell off of me.

No, I have not seen this woman. You’re sure? I’m sorry. No. All right. What about this character? Oh, yes. Here. May have seen that is a face I wish I could forget. So he was standing here. He asked a few years ago when you were here Commander, but I have not seen him since. Well, thank you. Anyway, we should head back to the hotel, see if Steve Penny, you’d like the police station.

Wait, wait, wait. If I could not give you any information, at least let me provide you with a nice meal. Hmm.

Okay. As much as I’d hate to can on Wendy, Joan needs me and, and Wendy has a brother. She’s close to She’ll, totally underst. Okay, well if you’re sure. Put my flight. Alright. You should go see Marlena, right? You’ll call me when you get there. Gimme an update. Absolutely. Thanks Trev, you’re the best. Tell Joey I.

And that he better get well soon, or his big sister’s gonna kick his butt. Will do. Good luck. I hope you remember something that helps Dad find Kayla.

I could never hurt your family, Caroline. But I must confess that I’ve dreamed many times that you and I have a child together. Sometimes it’s a son and sometimes it’s a daughter. How I hate waking up from those dreams. I know it can never be that we can’t be married and have a family. I’ve so often seen in my dreams, but I wonder if we might have something else that’s just our own.

If perhaps you could come here to Greece. There’s a little house in the hills where I grew up, a secluded little villa where the two of us, just you and I could be together.

Do you think that Thomas Banks is the one that took Kayla? It’s possible. I mean, he. Worked for Megan before. Did you see him in the lab? No. No. The only people that I saw were Megan and Ralph.

Wait, what is it? There was someone else there.

Get the hell off of me. Whatcha gonna do? You gonna cut me? I don’t think. And we may not have seen each other for almost a decade, but I am still your best friend in the whole world. No, that’s right. You remember that, don’t you? There was a time we hated each other and I took bad eye. Do you remember that?

How could I forget? Yeah. Now please put the knife down. And let’s talk. You’ve done enough talking. Now let go made before someone gets hurt. Listen to me, Paul. I don’t know what’s going on with you. I don’t know what you’ve been through, but the things you’re saying, the way you’re acting, It’s not you. Oh, Brady would never hurt me.

You sure about that? Damn right. I am.

Hey, I took, why? How about I take the other? You can’t. Oh, yeah. Watch me.

I knew you couldn’t do it.

Okay. Hey, man, I don’t know what’s happened to you. But you can’t change 40 years of history. You will always be my closest friend in the world. Oh, do me a favor friend, and shut the hell up. Oh,

so there was a fourth tube in the lab. There was Kayla and I kept pressuring Ralph to tell us who was in it, but. Well, as he was about to tell us, Megan walked in. So he didn’t give you a name? No, but I don’t think that it could have been banks. I mean, how could he be gallad all over the globe causing problems and, and still be frozen?

Frozen banks? Who do you think it was? I’m not sure we’re ever going to know.

Um, uh, thank you for telling me what happened. Of course. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of some comfort to you. No, you were, I’m glad to know that you and Kayla were with Kate in our last days. Unless you wanna fight,

I should go.

I’m so glad you came by

and if you have any more questions, please just call me. I appreciate that.

I am an ambitious man, as you well know, but I’ve come to learn that nothing is more precious than time. The people you love. I want time with you, Caroline. I want that so badly and we can have it here in our own private paradise. Oh gosh. I could send you a plane ticket tickets, continue. A plane ticket, and you could, you could tell Sean that you’re visiting a relative, perhaps a sick aunt in Ireland.

Ugh.

It would allow you to steal away even if it’s only for a little while. For a little while. You could be.

You could be my wife,

Constantine, that is very kind of you. And normally I would absolutely say yes, but we have a lot of work to do. Yeah, we have a big search ahead of us. Oh, be more reason to keep up your strength. Besides, I cannot let my best customer leave without taking. Would care of her. Me? Are you talking about me? As I said, I never forget the face.

And I remember you being in here as well, who a year or so ago that was, uh, the first night we met, the two of you were sold. You look so happy together. You were practically glowing while you laughed and talked and ate, danced on tables. I never, I never danced the table special. A lot of plates that you did do?

Yes. All right. That I idea. I did. I remember I special a lot of plates. True. Yes, you did. It was a celebration of joy, of life, of love, and all the people that would hear, they couldn’t have enough of the beautiful American. They all fell in love with this woman. Please sit, sit, please,

and allow me to recreate the magic of that night.

Yeah, at two 30 to Seattle.

Great. Thanks. You’re going to Seattle this afternoon. Oh, I saw that we were having dinner. Yeah, I know, and I’m, I’m really sorry about this, but my brother Joey, he, uh, he’s been in an accident.

I knew you were back, but Oh my God. It’s so wonderful to see. So good to see you, drew. How are you feeling? I’m, I’m fine. Uh, my family’s taking very good care of me. I’m sure they have been. I wasn’t expecting you to be here. Well, I, I wanted to see a miracle with my own two eyes, and Marlan was kind enough to tell me what happened.

I’m so sorry.

Uh, is there any news about your mother? Not yet. That’s why I’m here. Actually. I was hoping that you might be able to help us find Finder. How can I help? She called me yesterday and what did she. The connection was very bad. There was tons of static, so I could barely hear her, but to sure. It was your mother, definitely.

We were on for a few minutes, but all I could make out was that she’s somewhere in Greece, which is where my dad is now. Did she say exactly where? If she did, I couldn’t hear it, but Tripp thinks that maybe my subconscious mind might have, and that if you hypnotize me, I might be able to remember. I know the chances are slim, but I will try anything that might help my mom and so will I.

Wow. He really went all out. Yeah. You can always stay here. Yeah. But we already know that this is a dead end when it comes to Thomas Banks. Okay. So let’s eat and then get back to the search for care. Okay. You know, Constantine copying this meal had nothing to do with him. Feeling bad about threatening me with a bad, or not being able to help us find Kayla.

I think he’s hoping for an encore performance. Really but of me breaking more plates, I sincerely don’t. You can, you can deny it all you want hope, but I was here that night. And to my purpose, my purpose was to find prisms. I was programmed to find those prisms, but I saw the same thing Constantine did.

Beautiful American who made every person in this place fall madly in love with her.

Have you retrieved those prisms yet? Well, I don’t suppose they say it’s prepared to offer me a reward. Huh? For my trouble. Are you asking for a payoff? Of course not. Director Donovan. I have all three prisons right here. Well done.

What’s with him? I thought he was your colleague. Ah, he just told you that to get access to these prisms, he’s a con artist. It’s not who he claims to be. It’s not me.

Sorry. It was ah. Battering rather violent. Two came out me. I had to bash him in the head. Poor fella. The sooner I get him to a secure facility, the better. Cheers. Don’t.

Is Joey gonna be okay? Yeah. Yeah. His leg is pretty badly broken apparently, but yes, from what they told us, he should be just fine. Oh, thank God. So what, he’s in surgery now or? Yeah, that’s why I’m leaving for Seattle right away. I wanna be there when he wakes up. I’m just really sorry that I’m gonna miss our dinner trip.

Please don’t worry about it. I am brother needs you. Thank you for understanding. Of course. And look, I don’t know exactly when I’ll be back, but, uh, is there any chance I can get a rain check on dinner? Count on it, and hey, please tell Joey that I hope you get well soon, okay? Will do. See you.

Stephanie, now that you’re completely relaxed, I wanna take you back to yesterday, a Newton in the square was Chad. Did you get a phone call? Yes. And who was it?

Mom?

It was my mother. What did she say?

I know it’s shock honey, but it’s true. I’m, I’m alive. She said that it was really her. She was alive. And then what?

What did you say, mom? The connection’s getting really wonky. Mom, I’m sorry. The connection’s really bad. I can only hear every third word or whatever. There’s lots of static. Tell me where you are. Okay. Greece. I’m in Greece. Greece? Yeah. Yeah. Greece. Where in Greece? What’s the name of the city? There’s so much static.

I, I can’t hear what she’s saying. Okay. That’s all right. I, I want you to try to black blackout all the. Until you only hear the sound of your mother’s voice.

You said Megan Henchman was who? Where are you in Greece. What’s the name of the town? She said a name. I heard a name. Who’s up?

Stephanie, can you still hear the sound of your mother’s?

All right. It’s okay. I’m gonna bring you out of it. Wanna count to three? Just open your eyes. 1, 2, 3.

How do you feel? I’m. Did it work? Sorry, I think I messed it up. What do you mean? You were under, um, recalling your conversation with your mom? You said you heard a name and I I jumped on it. I said, who was it? I think I, I threw it off. I did hear her say a name. Was it Thomas Banks? No, I’m pretty sure it was.

Victor, Kiki.

Caroline, my darling. I know what I’m asking may be impossible, but I hope you will consider it.

Please know that whatever you decide, I am forever your. Victor.

Oh, hello. You’re back. Yes, with the prisms you needed. Pen. Another thing, a little present.

Stay back. He’ll live maybe.

Hmm. This is the best lamb I’ve ever had. This puts my seafood dish to shame, that’s for sure.

Oh, you’re feeling it. You feeling it? I’m feeling what? I think you know. Oh my gosh. Paris Michaels for the last time, I have never, ever danced on a table. Not ever. Hey, I know, I know. But you look so happy that night. You look free and relaxed. It’s not hard to imagine you getting up there again. Time again, house.

What is happening right now? Well, I think they want you to join me. I can see that. But thank you so much. But we’re eating and drinking. I don’t think he’s gonna take no for an answer. All that please. Woo.

Okay, come on. You know what? Screw me. This

one more.

Oh.

You kids behave yourself.

Can you hear me? Steve? Steve, can you hear me? Yeah. Can you hear me? Can you, can you.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Alex joins Maggie at the Titan office. She notes his black eye has healed while Alex says his bruised ego has as well and he always gets back up. Maggie asks if he’s ready for the board meeting. Alex says he actually wants to sit out on this one if that’s okay. Maggie asks if he has something more important to do. Alex knows she’s had her doubts about him but he promises to prove to her that she made the right decision in keeping him in his position, by closing a huge deal for Titan. Maggie asks what huge deal but Alex says it’s a surprise. Maggie doesn’t like surprises but Alex promises she will love this one.

Tripp goes home and lays on the couch but then Stephanie shows up and says she’s been trying to get ahold of him. Tripp asks if there’s news about Steve and if he found Megan Hathaway. Stephanie confirms that he did, but there’s more. Stephanie reveals that Kayla is alive.

Hope and Harris go to a hotel in Greece. Harris carries her bags and tells her that his room will be right down the hall. Hope thanks him for coming with her. Harris says it’s the least he could do as he knows how important Kayla is to her. Hope says she’s family since she was married to Kayla’s brother, Bo. Harris mentions passing a wedding in the plaza. Hope acknowledges that Greece can be romantic. Harris suggests after they find Kayla, maybe they can hang out for awhile and appreciate the beauty. They agree that they would like that. Harris says he will let her unpack and goes to leave, but stops.

Andrew Donovan goes to the police station and greets Shawn. Shawn says he hasn’t seen him in forever while Andrew jokes about missing the last family reunions. Shawn mentions needing to get everyone together again. Andrew informs him that it looks like his mom is trying to do that now as Hope is in Greece, trying to find Kayla.

Kayla tries to escape the cabin in Greece but Bo appears at the door and asks if she’s going somewhere.

Harris and Hope almost kiss but are interrupted by Steve arriving at the door. Steve tells them that he thinks he’s got a lead on the son of a bitch who took Kayla

Kayla claims to Bo that she was just going out to get fresh air. Bo tells her to let him know and he’ll crack a window. Bo hopes she wasn’t planning to leave, warning that the path is treacherous. Bo tells her that he has dinner but Kayla says she’s not hungry. Bo encourages her to eat because it’s a big night. Bo asks if she’s made any progress on the formula for the serum from the orchid. Kayla responds that she’s working on it. Bo mentions that Dr. Rolf said the formula would reverse aging so it would be worth a fortune that would dwarf Victor’s. Kayla asks if Bo’s goal is just to be richer than Victor. Bo says he just wants to build an empire of his own and getting a back a few years he lost would be a benefit.

Shawn thanks Andrew for the update on the search for Kayla but says he knows he’s here on ISA business. Andrew confirms he’s here to transfer his prisoner. Shawn hopes they lock Megan up for the rest of her miserable life. Shawn and Andrew then head in to the interrogation room where Megan awaits. Megan tells Shawn that she would know his face anywhere and that he reminds her so much of his father.

Tripp is shocked and questions how Stephanie knows Kayla is alive. Stephanie confirms that she talked to her on the phone and heard her voice. Tripp hugs her and calls it unbelievable. Tripp says Steve must be going out of his mind. Stephanie says he’ll be a lot better once he finds her. Tripp doesn’t understand and asks where she is. Stephanie says they don’t know as the connection on the call was horrible, so all they know is that Kayla’s been abducted somewhere in Greece. Tripp asks if Steve is there now. Stephanie confirms that he and Hope just arrived. Stephanie adds that Kayla sounded so scared, so she hopes they get there in time. Tripp encourages that he will and that Kayla has survived this long. Stephanie talks about being unable to sleep since the call and knowing that she’s been alive after all these months. Stephanie wonders if she missed a clue to what Kayla was trying to tell her and wishes she could hear the call over again. Tripp suggests maybe she can.

Harris asks if Steve got a location on Thomas Banks but Steve reveals that Dr. Rolf has been spotted in the area. Harris asks how Steve knows that Rolf is here. Steve says his face is all over the news feeds as he’s an international fugitive, so someone called in a tip while he was ordering takeout but he was able to give the local cops the slip and they believe that he made it off the island. Harris says they were so close. Steve notes that Dr. Rolf was apparently in a hurry and left all his stuff at the hotel, so he’s going to the police station to see if they found anything that can lead them to Thomas Banks and Kayla.

Bo asks Kayla how soon the serum will be ready. Kayla responds that after reviewing Dr. Rolf’s notes, she’s pretty sure there is no chance that she will make that serum for him.

Andrew informs Megan that she is now in the custody of the Salem police department, who will hold her until she is transferred to Statesville prison. Megan continues talking about how Shawn reminds her of his father and remarks that it’s as if she actually succeeded in turning back the clock and made Bo young again. Shawn questions what that is supposed to mean.

Bo asks Kayla what the problem is since she has Dr. Rolf’s notes and he made several batches of the serum. Bo tells her to just follow the directions. Kayla argues that it’s complicated, they’re not in a lab, and the notes are incomplete. Bo asks what she means. Kayla says it’s clear that Dr. Rolf was taking instructions from what was on the three prisms that Megan got last summer. Kayla says she can’t decipher the short hand. Bo questions what she is saying. Kayla declares that without the prisms, there’s no serum. Bo thinks he knows where they might be.

Alex calls the police department in Greece and says he’s ready to move over the funds if he has his items. The officer confirms he does and tells Alex to just wire the money and the prisms are his.

Tripp suggests Stephanie try hypnosis and tells her about how it worked for Allie before. Tripp says Stephanie may have been in shock but her brain may have remembered more than she thinks. Stephanie worries that Marlena just got home but Tripp assures that Marlena would want nothing more than to help find Kayla. Stephanie agrees that she has to try and hopes she remembers something that will bring Kayla home.

Bo tells Kayla that when they left the island, he was going to go get the prisms but they weren’t where he thought they would be. Kayla repeats no prisms, no serum, so there is no reason for him to keep her here. Bo says he might know where they are at as it’s possible that Dr. Rolf left them behind.

Alex prepares his wire transfer to the Greek police. Maggie returns to the office. Alex asks how the board meeting was. Maggie says she was distracted the whole time because she was worried about Alex and his big surprise he has planned. Alex informs her that while she was at the meeting, he cemented the deal, so he’s happy to share. Alex brings up Dr. Rolf. Maggie says he’s currently a fugitive and questions what he has to do with Alex’s deal. Alex reveals that Dr. Rolf was hiding out in Greece but he got away, though he possessed three prisms that are powerful artifacts that Li Shin failed to acquire for DiMera last summer. Maggie mentions hearing of these prisms. Alex talks about how there are reports that the prisms can cure diseases and possibly even reverse aging. Alex asks what if he told her that he was about to secure all of the prisms for Titan.

Shawn questions what Megan meant when she said make Bo young again when she knows he’s been dead for years. Megan claims that she was just saying seeing his face was like traveling back through time. Megan states that she and Bo had a very intense love affair until he settled for Hope. Shawn warns her to keep his parents names out of her mouth as he’s done listening to this nonsense. Shawn argues that she’s hurt his family enough. Megan doesn’t think Hope is suffering that much and says she’s moved on from them and from Bo as well with Harris Michaels. Megan informs Shawn that Harris and Hope are together for real now. Shawn repeats that he’s had enough. Megan mocks him that it’s tough when his mom moves on with a new dad. Shawn warns her to shut her mouth.

Hope and Steve talk about finding Kayla. Steve knows it’s a longshot and maybe implausible to think Dr. Rolf left a clue behind. Steve knows the connection is thin but it’s the only one that they have to Thomas Banks, but Harris says maybe not.

Tripp makes breakfast for Stephanie. Stephanie says she’s not hungry but Tripp encourages her to keep up her strength so that she can help Kayla. Tripp offers to cancel his plans for later so he can make sure she can get in to see Marlena. Stephanie asks if Tripp’s plans are with Wendy. Tripp asks who told her that. Stephanie knows Tripp and Joey were competing for Wendy’s attention in Hong Kong and that Joey backed off, then tried to play matchmaker. Stephanie says that Joey just wants him to be happy and she does too. Stephanie asks if Tripp likes Wendy. Tripp confirms that he does but the problem is that she’s been hanging out with Johnny. Stephanie points out that Wendy is going to dinner with Tripp, so maybe she’s just as interested in him.

Harris reminds Hope of the restaurant where they first met. Harris notes that Megan had him staying in a room upstairs and there was another one of her employees looking for the prisms, Thomas Banks.

Maggie tells Alex that she’s heard rumors of these prisms for years but it sounds like science fiction to her. Alex knows that it’s far fetched but says for the price he’s paying, the risk is worth the reward. Maggie says she will be the judge of that. Maggie asks for the details and who his contact is on this transaction. Alex explains that when he found out Dr. Rolf was in Greece, he reached out to Victor’s people and they put him in touch with the police there and it turned out that when Dr. Rolf evaded capture, he left the prisms in his hotel room. Maggie questions them agreeing to sell the prisms to Alex. Alex confirms that one of the cops did. Alex adds that they are just sitting in an evidence locker and the cops have no idea what they have, so he convinced one of them to sell them to him for a relatively small sum. Alex calls it pretty amazing but Maggie calls it amazingly stupid.

Harris and Hope plan to go show Thomas Banks’ picture around while Steve decides to go see what Dr. Rolf left behind. Hope hopes that one of their longshots pans out.

Bo warns Kayla that he doesn’t have all night and has to get going. Kayla brings up their childhood which gets Bo arguing, but then he tells her it was a nice try to walk him down memory lane to get him to be the old Bo, but he likes who he is. Kayla asks what he’s going to do and if he’s just going to just walk in to a random Greek police station and ask for the prisms. Bo says he’s just going to get her what she needs to decipher Dr. Rolf’s notes and then she will get him what he needs. Kayla questions Bo leaving her in a wine cellar. Bo tells her to try to relax as he then leaves her locked up.

Stephanie asks Tripp about declaring his feelings for Wendy. Stephanie tells him that tonight’s dinner is his once chance to convince her to be with him instead of Johnny. Tripp worries about pressuring her. Stephanie doesn’t think being clear about your intentions is ever a bad thing. Tripp asks if he’s not doing what Alex did to her. Stephanie says that Alex tried to manipulate and control her because that’s who he is. Stephanie adds that unlike Tripp, Alex will do whatever it takes to get what he wants no matter what it costs.

Maggie questions Alex using Titan money to pay off a police officer but Alex argues that it’s not a payoff. Maggie asks if it’s a bribe then. Alex says this is how these people do business and Victor has relationships with them. Maggie questions him not talking to Victor about this. Alex says he wouldn’t go behind her back again because he’s going to prove to her that she can trust him. Maggie accuses him of using Victor’s name and Titan’s money to bribe a government official. Maggie remarks that Alex is now giving a black eye to the company and the family.

Andrew tells Shawn that he knows this is intense and asks if he needs to take a break but Shawn assures that he’s good. Megan comments on Shawn having the same temper as Bo. Shawn declares that he’s done talking about his father as her relationship with him is ancient history. Shawn brings up that Megan’s deal requires her to cooperate fully. Megan says she told Steve that Thomas Banks took Kayla and claims that’s all she knows. Megan adds that he can ask any questions he’d like but it will be a waste of time. Shawn says he will decide that. Megan responds that she is exercising her right to counsel because she wants to make sure this transfer goes off without a hitch. Megan asks for a phone to call her lawyer.

Harris and Hope go to the restaurant where they met. Harris recalls when he first saw her and says no photo could capture the spark in her eye as they then kiss. Hope says they shouldn’t draw attention to themselves while Harris says this is them blending in as a couple caught up in the romance of Greece, so they continue kissing.

Kayla complains about her own brother locking her in a wine cellar to create a youth serum. Kayla then finds a lockbox on one of the shelves of wines.

Bo goes to the police station in Greece and impersonates Shane Donovan. Bo says he’s here about evidence collected from Dr. Rolf’s room and a set of prisms that are extremely powerful and could be dangerous if they fall in to the wrong hands. The cops asks if he has any paperwork of his claim. Bo then questions if he’s saying there’s a problem with a request from the director of the ISA.

Maggie hopes Alex didn’t send anything to this corrupt cop in Greece. Alex states that he was about to when Maggie walked in. Maggie argues that he was doing something so irresponsible. Alex argues that acquiring these prisms for Titan is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change the landscape of science and medicine while also humiliating DiMera Enterprises. Maggie doubts the scientific claims but says it’s still bribery and smuggling. Maggie vetoes Alex’s surprise and orders him to call the dirty cop back to tell him the deal is off. Maggie warns that she will deal with him later and asks if he understands. Alex reluctantly says that he does as Maggie exits the office.

Bo tells the cop that he needs the prisms now as it’s a matter of international security. The cop then gets a call from Alex. He tells Alex that there is a man from the ISA asking about the prisms. Alex begrudgingly tells the cop to go ahead and hand them over because the deal is off and then hangs up. Bo threatens to go over the cop’s head but the cop apologizes for the delay and directs him to wait in a room while he goes to retrieve the prisms for him. After Bo leaves, Steve arrives and tells the cop that he hopes he can help him.

Kayla searches for something open the lockbox she found. She finds a bottle opener and gets the box open.

Tripp offers to go with Stephanie to see Marlena and cancel his plans with Wendy. Stephanie tells him not to do that and thanks him for the offer but assures she’ll be okay. Stephanie adds that if anything happens or she hears from Steve, she’ll let him know. Tripp wishes her luck. Stephanie tells him the same and that Wendy would be very lucky to end up with a guy like him. Tripp thanks her for saying that. Stephanie gets a call and answers, hoping it’s Kayla.

After leaving the interrogation room, Shawn tells Andrew that he’s sorry for not keeping his cool with Megan. Andrew thinks he did fine, given the circumstances. They talk about wishing they could listen to clients and lawyers as it would make things easier. Shawn hopes Megan plays this straight but worries she could use it as another opportunity to go after Hope.

Megan uses her phone call to call Thomas Banks and give him a heads up that a lot of people are looking for him. Megan adds that he can return the favor by doing one little thing for her. Megan instructs Thomas to find Bo Brady and shoot anyone who gets in his way.

Hope asks Harris if he’s ready to do what they came for. Harris confirms that he is and pulls out a photo of Thomas Banks, wondering who they should talk to first. Hope tells him to follow her lead.

Steve introduces himself to the cop and says he’s working with the ISA and needs to see the evidence found in Dr. Rolf’s room. The cop responds that he’s afraid his colleague already made that request as he arrived a few minutes before him. Steve asks if he’s still there. The cop informs him that “Mr. Donovan” is in the other room. Steve questions Shane being there. The cop suggests Steve join him while they check to see what’s taking so long on their end. Steve goes to the room looking for Shane, but is shocked to find Bo instead.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning, auntie Mac, Alex. Oh, looks like your black eye is healed. Yes, it has. And so has my bruised ego. But you know me, I get knocked down. Pop right back up. Well, I’m glad to hear it. So are you ready for the board meeting? Actually, I think I might sit out on this one if that’s okay with you. You have something more important to do.

Look, auntie, I know you’ve had your doubts about me, especially after I tried to undermine you with Uncle Vic, but I promised you, I’m gonna convince you that you made the right choice by letting me keep my position here at Titan. Oh, and how is that? By closing a huge deal for Titan. Hmm. What? Huge deal.

It’s a surprise. I don’t like surprises, especially when it comes to business. Well, I promise you, auntie, you are going to love.

Thank God you’re here. I’ve been trying to reach you all night. I’m sorry. I just got off an overnight shift to the hospital. I forgot to charge my phone. What is it? News about dad? Did he find Megan Hathaway? He did, but there’s more. My mom. She’s alive.

You didn’t have to carry my bag. What? Uh, I wanted to carry your bag and my room’s just right down the hall. Okay. I know. Thanks for coming with me. That’s the least I can do. I know how important Kayla is to you. Yes, she is. She’s family. I was married to her brother Bo. Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was quite the wedding we passed in the plaza.

Huh? It was, you know, Greece can be romantic if you’re not on mission. Well, maybe after we find Kayla, um, uh, maybe we can hang out for a little while and appreciate the beauty

I’d.

Well, uh, I’ll let you unpack. Great.

Detective Brady. Oh, Andrew. Whoa. I haven’t seen you in forever. It’s been a minute, cousin. Yeah, I guess I missed the last few family reunions. Hey, we all have, hopefully we can get everyone together soon. Oh, sounds like your mother’s trying to make that happen right now. What do you mean as we speak? Hope is in Greece.

Trying to find out. Kayla,

sorry to run out on your phone. Oh, I gotta go back to people I love. I haven’t gone crazy

going somewhere.

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

Hey Steve. What’s going on? I think I got a lead on. The son of a bishop took Kayla.

Hi. I was just going out to get some pressure. You need air. Let me. I’ll crack a window for you. Hmm. Thank you. It’s very kind of you. You know, I hope you weren’t planning to leave. That path is really treacherous. Yeah. So you said you hungry? I got dinner here. No, no. You should eat big night. What a birthday celebration for a goat.

I’m so happy you still have your sense of humor. Well, it’s pretty much all I have left. Have you made any progress on the formula for the serum from the orchid? I’m working on it. Good. Cuz Rolf was sure it would restore a person’s youth, so that means that formula would be worth a fortune that would dwarf my father’s.

Is that your goal bow to be richer than Victor? No. I just wanna build an empire of my own. If I could get back a few of those years I lost, that would be a benefit. Thank you for the update on the search for Hank Kayla, but I know you’re here in Salem on uh, ISA business. Yes. I am here to transfer my prisoner to your custody, pending her incarceration, Statesville.

Lucky you. Yeah. Well, let’s just hope that they lock her up for the rest of her miserable life. Shall we?

Hello there. Can I get Hathaway? This is Detective Brady. Sean Douglas Brady. You did your research. I didn’t have to. I would know that face anywhere. You remind me. So much of your father,

Kayla is alive. I h How do you know? I spoke to her. On the phone. I heard her voice trip. This is unbelievable. Oh, I’m so happy for you. Thanks. My dad must be going out of his mind. He’ll be a lot better once he finds her. I don’t, I don’t understand. Where is she? We’re not sure. The connection on the call was horrible.

She tried to tell me where she was, but all I know is that she’s been abducted and she’s somewhere in Greece. Greece. Okay. Okay. Is that there now? He and Hope just arrived. She sounded so scared. I just, I hope that he finds her in time. He will. Okay. He will. He always does. All right. Your mom survived this long.

She’s not gonna give up now. Okay. I mean, she found a way to call you. Right? I haven’t slept since that call. I just, I keep going over it and over it again in my head. I, it just happened so fast. Hey, you must have been in shock. Yeah. It was so overwhelming. I know after all these months that she’s still alive.

But I just keep thinking, what if I missed something? You said the connection was bad. Yeah. But what if there was a clue under all that static? There’s something else that she was trying to tell me. I just, I wish that I could hear that. Call over again.

Maybe you can.

You got a location on Thomas Banks? No, not banks. Another Demer Minion has been spotted in this city. Does the name will helm Rolf ring any bells? Rolf is here. How do you, how do you know? Well, his, uh, face is all over the news feeds and you know, he’s an international fugitive. Someone called him a tip.

That’s right. Someone saw him getting takeout somewhere. Do they bring him in? Is he in custody? No, unfortunately he gave the local cops the slip and they believe he made it off the island. Damn. So close and apparently he was in a big hurry. He left all his stuff at the hotel. Do you leave any clues behind as to where he was headed?

That’s what I’m thinking. So I want to go down to the station and see what they found. Maybe there’s something that can lead us to Thomas Banks and te Kayla as soon as that serum’s gonna be ready. Well, you know, I hate to rain on your parade, brother of mine, but after reviewing Ralph’s, I can pretty much say there’s absolutely no way, no chance that I may make that turn for you.

Ms. Hathaway. You are now in the custody of Salem PD who will hold you until you are transported to Statesville Prison. Megan, are you listening? I know that it’s rude to stare detective, but I can’t help myself looking at you and seeing the way you hold yourself. I remind you of my father. I get it. Oh, it’s more than that.

It’s as if I actually. Succeeded in turning back the clock and made Bo Young again. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

What’s the problem? You, you have all raw snows. I understand that. Well, he made several batches of that fountain of you serum. Can’t you just follow the directions? Yeah. Bo this is not like it’s, you know, mom’s soda bread recipe. This is complicated. And this isn’t exactly a lab setting. And you know what?

The notes are incomplete. What do you mean? I mean that reviewing the documents, it’s clear that Ralph was taking instructions from what was on the three prisms that Megan got her hands on last. Prisms. Yes. And so it’s some sort of shorthand here that I, I can’t decipher. I Are you saying? I’m saying that.

No prisms. No sir. Son of ’em, bitch.

No worries. No worries. I think I know where they might be.

Hey, this is Alex Kikis, Victor Kiki’s nephew. Yes, I know who you are. I ask you not to call me here. Well, I’m sorry, officer. I just wanted to make sure that we’re all on the same page here. Now. I’m. Move over the funds you requested, but do you have my items? I do. All three prisms go ahead and wildly and not we agree.

Done those prisms are all yours.

Okay, look, I know this is gonna sound weird, but have you thought about hypnosis? Hypnosis? Yeah. When Ali accused me of assaulting her, she agreed to let Marlena Hypnotizer and under hypnosis, Allie was able to access her block memories and be able to piece together that it was actually my half brother Charlie who hurt her.

So you’re thinking if Marlena put me under that she could help me relive my call with my mom? Like I said, you were probably in. But maybe your brain absorbed more than you think it did. You know, just a few words or maybe some background. Those cup locator. Marlena just got home. I mean, after all that she’s been through.

No, you know, Marlena, okay. There’s nothing she would want more than to help find Kayla. Oh, you’re right. And even if it’s a long shot, I have to try, in God willing, I will remember something that can finally bring my mom home. When we left the island with Ralph, In the orchid. I was gonna go get the prisms.

Why didn’t you? Well, they weren’t where I thought they’d be. Okay. Well, like I said then, you know, no, uh, prisms. No, sir. No, just hold on. So there’s no reason for you to keep me here against my will. I might know where they’re at. Do you? I don’t know where Rolf went, but I know where he’s been and there’s a possibility he left them behind.

Okay. Officer Wire transfer is queued up and I’m ready to go.

Hey, how was the board meeting? Uh, well, you can uh, read the minutes later. Actually, I was, I was distracted the whole time by what I was worrying about you and this big surprise that you have plans. So tell me what are you love to Okay. While you were at the meeting, I cemented the deal, so I’m happy to share now.

Auntie, are you familiar with Will Helm? Damaris, Dr. Frankenstein, that’s the guy. Well, from what I understand, he’s currently a fugitive from justice. So what does he have to do with this deal of yours? Well, it turns out that Wolf was actually hiding out in Greece where the local police caught up with him.

Oh, so then they arrested him? No, he got away, but he had in his possess, Three invaluable prisms, powerful, powerful artifacts that Lian tried and failed to acquire last summer for Demer Enterprises. I’ve heard about these prisms. Then you know that there are reports that in the right hands these things can cure disease, possibly even turn back the clock on physical aging.

Hmm. The fountain of Youth. Yeah, exactly. Now, what if I told you. That I’m about to close a deal to secure all these prisms for tidy.

What are you trying to say about my father? Nothing. Didn’t sound like nothing. Hey, what did you mean when you said make him young again? I mean, you know that, that my father’s been dead for years. I’m sorry. I was only saying that looking at your handsome face was. Traveling back through time.

When you get to be a certain age, you start taking these walks down memory lane. Is that right? I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that your father and I had a very intense love affair. That is until he lost his taste for Brains in class and settled for hope. Okay, do do yourself a favor and keep my dad’s name and my mother’s name outta your.

Seems like I’ve touched a nerve. No, I’m done listening to this nonsense. You’ve hurt my family enough. I don’t think that your mother is suffering all that much at the moment. I have it on good authority that in fact, she’s moved on not only from our series of episodes, but from your father Beau as well.

What the hell are you talking about? I’m talking about that handsome rogue Harris. He and your mother are together for real Now you know what? I’m done listening to this. Okay? No, I understand. It’s always tough when mommy moves on with a new daddy. Shut your damn mouth, okay? Hey,

don’t worry Steve. We’re gonna find a K. Yes, we are. I know what you’re thinking. That this is a long shot, and I get it. I mean, just because Rolf and banks were both working with Megan doesn’t mean they’re still in contact. And maybe it’s implausible to think that Rolf left some clue behind, but what about any of this isn’t implausible?

It was implausible that Kayla was even alive in the first place. I know the connection is thin, but it’s the only one we have. Two banks, maybe not.

Okay. So I’m guessing if you haven’t slept since that phone call with your mommy, probably haven’t eaten either. So here, oh, that’s very sweet of you. But I’m, I’m just not hungry. Steph, if you need to keep up your strength so you can help your mom, Okay. At least a couple bites. Okay. Okay.

Look, I have plans later on, but maybe I should cancel ’em. I mean, I wanna make sure you get in to see Marlena. Are these, um, are these plans with clinician I who told you that? Mm-hmm. I know that you and Joey. We’re competing for her attention in Hong Kong, and I know that he backed off and tried to play Matchmaker.

Of course, he told you. Well, when it comes to gossip Lady whistleblower, it’s got nothing on our little brother. Huh? Joey just wants you to be happy and so do I. He like her. I do. It’s just one problem. She’s been hanging out with Johnny the. Hmm. Well, she’s going to dinner with you, so maybe she’s just as interested in you as you are in her.

Hope. You remember that little taverna where we first met, where we you were smashing all the plates, remember? Yeah. That I, how could I forget? Of course I remember. I also remember they had one of the best pastries that I’ve had. You know, the one with the nuts and the honey and all that feeling? Ava. Ava, yeah.

The most spectacular views. Well, the view. It’s amazing. So what about this Taver? Yeah, so this, this is, uh, this could be a long shot, but when Megan had me shadowing hope she arranged that I could stay in one of the rooms upstairs. Did she have a connection to the owner? I think so because, uh, another one of her employees was staying there looking for the prisons.

Thomas Banks.

I’ve heard rumors for years about the powers of these prisons, but it sounds like science fiction to me. Yeah. No, I know it’s pretty far out there, but the price I’m paying, the reward is definitely worth the risk. Hmm. I’ll be the judge. So what, uh, are the details? I mean, who, who is your contact on this transaction?

Okay, so when I found out that old Rolf was hanging out in Greece, naturally I reached out to Uncle Vick’s people and they connected me with an ally in the local law enforcement. So you are working with the police? Well, it turns out when Rolf evaded capture, they found the prisms in his hotel room and.

They agreed to sell them to you? One of them did. I mean, they’re just sitting in a evidence locker right now collecting dust. These cops have no idea what they have, so I managed to convince them to exchange them to us for a relatively small sum. Pretty amazing, right? Yes, it is just amazingly stupid.

Thomas Banks has a face only, uh, his mother could love. So if he’s been back to Thatta, someone definitely would’ve noticed. So we’ll go there and show his picture around. Okay. I’ll head to the police station and see what roll left behind re between these two long shots. Uh, hopefully we’ll catch a break.

Okay. Okay. You don’t need, you don’t need to push me. I don’t have all night. I gotta get. You just reminds me of, it reminds me of that time that mom PA took us on that road trip to to Niagara Falls. Do you remember that? And you kept running ahead and pushing me out of the way so that you could get the backseat window.

Remember that? Well, you and Roman always got to choose where to sit. Well, maybe if you weren’t such a nudge and if you weren’t so bossy, I

Nice. Walk me down memory. Hoping I’m the old boat. I like who I am, so sit tight until I get back. So what are you gonna do, Bo? You’re gonna just go walk into some random Greek police station and say, oh, excuse me. Do you have three powerful prisms? Because if you do, I need them. All you need to know smart ass is that I’m going to get you what you need so you can make sense of these notes, and then you’re gonna give me what I need.

So a lot of guys wants to just hang out in this wine cellar. I can think of worse places to hang out. Why don’t you open a nice bottle of mala and try to relax.

So you declared yourself to Wendy? Declared myself. You told her you have feelings for her Better? Yeah. A little more. 21st century. Yeah. So that means this dinner tonight is your one chance to convince her that she should be with you instead of Johnny. You don’t think that’s pressuring her, do you? Oh, it’s definitely pressure, but I don’t think that being clear about your intentions is ever a bad thing.

I’m not doing to her what Alex did to you. Alex tried to manipulate and control me because that’s who he is, unlike you. He will do whatever it takes to get what he wants no matter how wrong it’s,

so, you are telling me that you use Titan money. To pay off a police officer. It is not a payoff. Oh, no. So what it, what would you call it? A bribe, auntie. This is how these people do business. Uncle Vic has relationships with these people. These people. There’s an understanding. Have you talked to your uncle about this?

Of course not. I told you I would never go behind your back like I did before, ever again, because I’m going to prove to you that you can trust. Trust you because you use my husband’s name, you use Titan Cash as a currency to bribe a foreign government official. And I told you this is not a bribe. Ah-huh.

Well, it sounds like your shiner has, uh, finally healed, but now you have moved on to giving a blackout of this company and to this family.

I know this is intense. If you need to take a head break, I can watch it. Uh, no. I’m okay. Are you sure? Yeah, I’m good.

You even have the same fiery temper as Bo. I am done talking about my father. Oh. Your relationship with him is ancient history. If you say, What do you wanna talk about? Well, the condition of your deal to be transferred here to Salem is that you cooperate fully, which I have done. I told Steve that it was Thomas Banks who snatched your aunt Caleb from the island.

And that’s all I know. You can ask me as many questions as you like, but it will be a waste of time. We’ll decide that I’m, but I’m now exercising my constitutional right to counsel. I wanna make sure that this transfer to Statesville goes off without a hitch. Can one of you two darlings please Get me a telephone so that I can call my lawyer.

Thank you.

Okay, let’s do this. Oh, hold on a second before we start rolling people. Let’s get a lay land. See who we’re dealing with. You just want to park lava. We’re in an undercover mission, aren’t we? And yes, if I do happen to order one of the best pastries I’ve ever had, then just know it’s worth mission. All right.

Understood.

You supposed to be looking at everyone else. I’m trying. No, you’re not. I’m gonna try harder, Harris. I remember when I first saw you, Megan had given me a picture and that picture did not do you justice because there is no photo that could capture that spark in your eye.

That was probably the cafe from the espresso I had ordered. No,

that’s what makes you you. It means you so much life behind those eyes.

I can see the spark right now.

We shouldn’t be drawing so much attention to ourselves. It’s not like we’re, uh, dancing on the tables and smashing plates. This is. This is us blending in. It’s part of our cover. Yeah. A couple caught up in the romance of.

I can’t believe my own brother would lock me in here. And why? So I could create some youth serum. Come on.

I dunno how that goes. Well,

official, how can I help you? I’m Shane Donovan, director of the isa. I understand your property taken into evidence when you rated the rooms of Dr. Wilhelm Rolf. Uh, what property is that set? The Prisms Prisons? Yes. They’re extremely powerful and could be dangerous if they fell into the wrong hands. I’m here to secure them.

Do you have any paperwork? Do you back up your claim?

Am I up to understand there’s a problem with the request coming from the director of the isa?

Please tell me you did not send one single drma to this corrupt cop in Greece. I was about to send the payment when you walked in here. Oh, thank God. Hmm. And they don’t use drma anymore. Auntie. They use euro. I know that. I was just being dramatic. Okay. And don’t correct me. Not when you’re in the middle of doing something.

So colossally irresponsible. Okay, auntie, I need you to think about. Acquiring these prisms for Titan is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Here we are talking about being able to change the landscape of science and medicine. Titan would be on the forefront of making one of the greatest discoveries since penicillin.

Not to mention absolutely humiliating demara in the process. Well, even if the scientific claims are true, in which I honestly doubt you are talking about bribery and smuggling. I already told you I am vetoing this surprise of yours. Now I want you to get on the phone and call that dirty cop and tell him the deal is off, and then I’ll deal with you later.

Do you understand? Maggie, don’t you understand?

Good.

I need those prisms. Now it’s a matter of international security.

Excuse me, please.

Hello, Mr. There’s a man here from the ia. He’s asking about the prisons.

You can go ahead and hand them over.

I’m sorry, the deal is off.

Are you getting me those prisms or must I go over your. Ah, yes, of course. Director Donovan, I’m sorry for the delay. If you would please, uh, go wait on that room and I will go retrieve the prisoners for you. Very well.

May I help you? I sure hope so.

Oh, perfect. Want Kayla just like search me.

Oh, hey. Oh, what do we have here?

Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you to see Marlena? I could cancel with when? No, no, no, no. Do not do that. Thank you for the offer, but I’ll be. And if something happens with Marleno, if I hear from Dad, I’ll let you know. Please do. Good luck. You too. And for the record, Wendy would be very lucky to end up with a guy like you.

Thank you for saying that.

Oh my God. This could be her. Could be mom again. Hello Mom. Is that you? Look, I’m sorry I didn’t keep my cool with Megan in there. Are you kidding? I thought you showed great restraint. Given the circumstances, don’t you just, you know, wish sometimes that you could listen in a client speaking to her lawyer.

I mean, it would be a lot easier, right? Yeah. Tell me about it. I really hope that Megan plays. I wouldn’t put a pastor to use this as another opportunity to go after my mother again. Hello, Thomas. I just wanna give you a heads up that there are a lot of people out there looking for you right now. You’re welcome.

Oh, and you can return the favor by doing one little thing for me. I want you to find Bo Brady, and if anyone gets in your way, shoot them where they stand.

I am gonna say, um, that.

I’m also gonna say that I think it’s safe for us to do what we came here for. I thought we were already doing that.

Are you ready?

Ready. Okay.

So who should we talk to first?

Oh.

My name is Steve Johnson. I’m working with the isa. I need to see any evidence you have from the raid on Will Helm, Rolf’s Hotel Room. I’m afraid your colleague has already made that request. My colleague? Yes. He arrived a few minutes before you did. Is he still here? Yes. Director Donovan’s waiting on.

Shane Donovan is here. Why don’t you go and join him and, uh, we’ll go see what’s taking so long on.

Days Update Thursday, April 6, 2023

 

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Tripp informs Wendy that he has feelings for her. Wendy admits that when they were in Hong Kong, she thought he liked her but then when she moved here, she thought he was over her. Tripp admits that he thought he was too and told himself that, but then he was talking to a patient and it hit him how much he still felt for her. Wendy asks if she knows the patient that he talked to. Tripp tells her that it was Paulina. Wendy then questions Tripp discussing her with Paulina and asks how he could do that.

Abe is shocked to learn Paulina was in the hospital and questions why she didn’t tell him. Paulina insists that she’s fine now. Abe argues that people who are fine don’t take themselves to the hospital and demands to know what’s going on. Paulina tells him to promise not to overreact and then informs him that she thought something might be wrong with her heart, but it’s not and she’s fine. Paulina explains that what she had was a panic attack, courtesy of Sloan.

At Sloan’s apartment, Sloan tells Eric that she’s just finishing up her petition for a restraining order against Paulina. Eric asks if she really thinks that’s necessary. Sloan calls Paulina deranged for showing up here and accusing her of sending her a threatening note with letters cut out of a magazine. Eric calls it a wild accusation. Sloan guarantees it won’t be happening again after she files the restraining order because Paulina won’t be able to come within 1500 feet of her unless she doesn’t mind ending up in a jail cell. Eric then approaches the stack of magazines with scissors by it on Sloan’s desk.

Li goes to the Bistro and wonders where the hell Gabi is. Johnny arrives and asks who he’s looking for. Li informs him that Gabi said she would be there on a business dinner. Johnny guesses he’s checking up on her. Li says it’s none of his business. Johnny asks if he’s worried that Gabi lied to him and is really hooking up with Stefan right now.

Stefan and Gabi kiss in the wine cellar of the DiMera tunnels. Gabi compliments how Stefan decorated the room. Stefan calls it no picnic on the beach. Gabi says all that matters is they are here together and no one can find them, so it’s perfect. Stefan calls her perfect for him and says he has never loved anyone like he loves her and he can’t believe it took him so long to remember. Gabi says what matters is that they beat Kristen, Dr. Rolf, and Li because they love each other that much. Gabi asks if he has any idea how long she’s dreamt of this moment as they continue kissing. Gabi jokes that if they keep this up, the dinner is going to get cold. Stefan jokes that they can let it and he’ll devour her. Gabi can’t believe he got the DiMera chef to make this for him and reminds him they need to keep up their strength. Gabi asks how he got the kitchen to make all of this without EJ and Nicole finding out. Stefan reveals that they know, but they think he’s upstairs eating in his bedroom with Melinda Trask.

EJ and Nicole return to the living room as EJ questions how stupid Stefan thinks they are. EJ complains that he shouldn’t have let Nicole talk him in to coming downstairs and he should’ve barged in to the room because there’s no way Stefan is cheating on Gabi, especially with an ice sculpture like Melinda Trask. Nicole says after what she saw and what they heard upstairs, maybe Melinda can heat up when she wants to. EJ doesn’t care and wants to know what Melinda is getting out of all this. Nicole remarks that it’s more than she’s getting from him. EJ asks what she’s doing. Nicole suggests changing the subject to their own love life instead of obsessing over Stefan’s.

Li tells Johnny to stay out of his business. Johnny says he didn’t mean to overstep and that when he came to the apartment, he couldn’t help but notice the chill in the air between he and Gabi. Li doesn’t care what he noticed and argues that he doesn’t know anything about he and Gabi. Johnny offers to not comment on Li and Gabi anymore, if Li promises to stop trying to convince him that something is going on between Wendy and Tripp.

Wendy complains that she can’t believe Tripp talked about her to a patient when she’s a very private person. Tripp argues that Paulina’s more than just a patient, she’s a friend and is his sister’s boss. Tripp adds that she was also very nice to them after Kayla died. Wendy guesses that she understands. Tripp apologizes and goes to leave. Wendy says he doesn’t have to leave but Tripp informs her that he’s on duty and just took his break because he decided he had to talk to her but he shouldn’t have butted in. Wendy tells him he’s not while Tripp says he didn’t realize Wendy and Johnny were so serious. Wendy remarks that Tripp is acting like Johnny is her boyfriend or something, but says that he is not. Tripp thought they patched things up. Wendy confirms that they did and had a few dates but they’re not exclusive. Tripp asks if that means he might have a shot with her. Wendy tells him that she’s beyond flattered. Tripp guesses that means she doesn’t feel how he feels. Wendy says that’s not what she’s saying and she’s just not sure. Wendy doesn’t know what to say now. Tripp suggests they just stop talking and he kisses Wendy.

Abe questions how long Paulina has been having panic attacks. Paulina swears it was just one and she doesn’t want him worrying about her. Abe argues that he’s been worried about her and Chanel ever since Sloan started this and that the police should be doing something. Paulina agrees but says they keep saying it’s her word against Sloan’s and complains that Sloan is always one step ahead of the cops. Paulina notes that she didn’t even bother to tell the police about the latest thing, revealing that someone left a note with cutout letters from a magazine, that said “This Isn’t Over Bitch”. Abe wants to see the note but Paulina says she gave it to Chanel. Abe argues that she should’ve given it to the police as they might have been able to lift fingerprints from it. Paulina is sure she wore gloves and adds that she confronted Sloan first but she denied everything like she always does. Abe decides that does it and orders Paulina to go home and rest. Abe declares that it’s time that he handles Sloan, himself.

Sloan tells Eric that it won’t take long but she’s going to the courthouse to file the restraining order. Eric points out that it’s the late and the courthouse is closed. Sloan says they don’t lock the front entrance so she’ll just slide it under the judge’s door and come right back. Eric suggests she just e-mail it but Sloan says the judge is old school, so she wants her to see it first thing in the morning. Sloan promises it won’t take long and she’ll come right back as she then exits the apartment. Eric wonders what Sloan has done now as he sits down and begins to look through her stack of magazines.

Li admits it was petty of him to insinuate something was going on between Tripp and Wendy. Johnny asks why he did it then. Li brings up how Johnny went to such lengths to expose his involvement in what Dr. Rolf did. Johnny argues that Li hired Dr. Rolf and told him to rearrange Stefan’s brain. Li questions Johnny being outraged on behalf of an uncle he never even knew. Johnny clarifies that he didn’t do it for Stefan, but for his grandfather Stefano. Li calls Stefano a mob boss. Johnny says he wasn’t that to him and talks about adoring Stefano growing up. Johnny states that Stefan was Stefano’s son and EJ didn’t give a damn about him, so someone had to. Li complains that Johnny tried to ruin his life and also involved his sister in it. Johnny argues that Wendy was just as excited to get to the truth as he was. Johnny adds that they didn’t ruin his life as Li did that on his own. Johnny then asks what the problem is since Li and Gabi are still together, so she and Stefan are farther apart than ever. Li supposes it is time that they bury the hatchet for Wendy’s sake since she seems quite fond of him for reasons he doesn’t understand. Li adds that there doesn’t seem to be anything between Wendy and Tripp, but friendship…

Tripp and Wendy kiss until she pulls away. Tripp asks if he misread the situation. Wendy says it’s not like he forced himself on her, so Tripp questions why she pulled away. Wendy responds that ever since she came to Salem, she hasn’t had much luck in the romance department, so she doesn’t want to mess up whatever this is before it even starts. Wendy says it’s pretty obvious that there is something happening between them. Tripp calls it awesome that she feels it too. Wendy points out that there is still Johnny to consider because she cares about him too. Tripp suggests they go on a real date and then if she’s not feeling it or if she decides Johnny is the one, then they can go back to just being friends.

Gabi thought Stefan said the whole thing with Melinda was just last night. Stefan explains that he had to cover tonight, so he sent Melinda a text and she was cool with it. Gabi questions what happened tonight then. Stefan explains that he and Melinda had to make out in front of Nicole. Gabi questions him making out with that bitch. Stefan says it was just for two minutes but now EJ and Nicole think he’s upstairs with Melinda, so that he could be down here with Gabi. Gabi warns Stefan to be careful with Melinda. Stefan assures that Melinda is on their side and hates EJ for letting Kristen escape. Gabi doesn’t care and says Melinda doesn’t do anything without wanting something in return. Stefan says he promised to make a sizable donation to her fund in her daughter’s name. Gabi asks what if Melinda wants a real shot with him. Stefan assures that he’s told her that Gabi is the only woman for him. Gabi remembers feeling like she lost him forever and says she can’t go through that again. Stefan insists that she’s not going to lose him again. Gabi recalls him saying that before and turns away. Stefan tells her that everything is fine now and that it’s not the time to get superstitious. Gabi knows he made quite the effort, but says he could’ve picked a better setting since this is where she helped Abigail tie Gwen to a chair. Stefan reminds her that this is also where they finally admitted their true feelings to each other. Gabi knows they’ve had bad times but it’s led her to this journey to where she’s always wanted to be, right here in his arms as they kiss.

Eric flips through Sloan’s magazines but finds nothing cut out. Abe arrives and angrily demands to know where Sloan is. Eric informs him that she’s not home and went out to run some errands. Abe questions doing that at this time of night and warns Eric that he better hope she’s not delivering another threatening letter to his wife.

Sloan and Paulina run in to each other in the town square. Sloan asks if she’s stalking her now. Paulina says she should be asking her the same thing and tells onlookers that there is nothing to see here. Sloan shouts that the mayor’s wife is harassing a private citizen. Paulina remarks that she’s losing her mind. Sloan informs Paulina that she just filed a restraining order against her, so by this time tomorrow, she won’t be able to come within 1500 feet of her without being thrown in jail like the criminal she is.

EJ brings Nicole a drink and massages her feet. EJ apologizes if he’s been neglecting her, but says he thought she was enjoying their little game with Stefan and Gabi as much as he was. Nicole says she was but says being a co-conspirator wasn’t enough for her and asks if it is enough for him. EJ tells Nicole that he does see her as more than his co-conspirator. EJ calls her the woman he wants to be with and says it’s time he starts acting like it. EJ decides that this occasion calls for more, so he’s going down to the wine cellar to get Stefano’s favorite champagne and then he will be back to romance the beautiful woman by his side. Nicole jokes that’s more like it. EJ promises not another word will be spoken about Stefan or Gabi in this house tonight. EJ then enters the tunnels…

Stefan and Gabi kiss until he pulls out his phone to turn some music on and they begin to dance. Stefan says if this is a dream, he never wants to wake up. They start kissing and removing their clothes. Stefan calls her even more beautiful than he remembers as they continue kissing.

Abe demands answers from Eric. Eric sees that he’s upset. Abe complains that he’s more than upset because Sloan has been terrorizing Paulina and Chanel. Eric argues that terrorizing is a very strong word. Abe shouts that Paulina went to the hospital today because she thought she was having a heart attack, but it turned out to be a panic attack. Eric says he’s really sorry that happened but Sloan says that she wasn’t anywhere near Paulina’s office today. Abe mocks the idea of Sloan being a woman of her word. Abe mentions somebody leaving a note for Paulina right after the police left, that said “This Isn’t Over Bitch” and the letters were cut out of a magazine. Eric states that Sloan says she didn’t do that either. Abe asks what the hell else she’s going to say and questions if Eric honestly believes her. Eric doesn’t answer, so Abe guesses he has doubts of his own. Abe brings up Eric’s parents being two of his closest friends and says he’s known Eric since he was born. Abe questions if Eric is going to stay neutral when this woman is coming after his loved ones.

Paulina questions Sloan getting a restraining order against her. Sloan states that she’ll have it by tomorrow morning. Paulina argues that Sloan admitted to coming to town to go after her and her loved ones. Sloan points out that nobody else heard her say that and Paulina hears what she wants to hear. Sloan claims she came to Salem to open a law practice and it was only a coincidence that Paulina and Chanel happened to be there too. Paulina says she took that coincidence and ran with it. Sloan brings up how Paulina tried to tear down the town square and says Paulina is a liar who covered up Chanel’s involvement with her mother. Paulina says that was no lie and that Sloan was no better than her mother, who brought Chanel to that roof to kill her. Sloan remarks that Chanel did the killing and it seems to her that it runs in the family. Sloan mentions hearing that Paulina’s other daughter, Lani, is in prison for shooting her own father to death. Paulina warns Sloan to keep her daughter’s name out of her mouth. Sloan calls that another threat to add to her complaint. Paulina starts having another panic attack and complains that she can’t catch her breath.

Li and Johnny toast to their truce. Li remarks that he wishes Wendy could see him having a civilized drink with her new boyfriend. Johnny clarifies that he’s not her boyfriend yet as they are taking it one day at a time. Li asks if he’s alright with that. Johnny admits he wishes things were moving a little faster. Johnny mentions that he’s bringing her here for dinner tomorrow night which is why he came to make the reservation. Li asks if Johnny is serious about Wendy. Johnny confirms that he is. Li reminds Johnny that Wendy is not as experienced as he is. Johnny argues that Li knows nothing about him. Li states that Gabi does and she filled him in. Johnny guesses he earned that reputation but says it’s different with Wendy as he hasn’t felt this way about anyone since his divorce. Li wishes them nothing but the best. Johnny thanks him and says he should get going to tell Wendy about their big night. Johnny tells Li that he will see him around and exits. Li remarks to himself that he hopes Johnny has better luck finding his woman than he did with his.

Stefan and Gabi finish having sex. Stefan can’t believe how much he missed doing this with her and questions how he’s going to stay away from her for another 4 months. Gabi says he’ll just have to think about the stock shares which Stefan says is the last thing he wants to think about. Gabi points out that they have some extra time, so they’ll make it worth their while as they begin kissing again. EJ then comes to get the champagne but finds the door cracked open. EJ slowly pushes it open further and finds Stefan and Gabi kissing in bed. EJ then pulls his phone out to record them.

Paulina’s panic attack continues as Sloan questions what kind of stunt she’s trying to pull. Paulina sits down and tries to breathe while Sloan asks what kind of attention she thinks she’s going to get. Paulina insists it’s not a performance. Sloan remarks that if this is a panic attack, she’s getting off easy because if there’s any justice in the world, she and Chanel will never know another moment of peace. Sloan then turns and walks away.

Eric tells Abe that he thinks of him as part of his family and he’s a constant in his life, but Chanel and Paulina are not and they hardly know one another. Abe asks what the hell he’s talking about, pointing out that Eric was at their wedding and Chanel just ended a relationship with Eric’s niece. Abe brings up Paulina’s sister being Eric’s mother’s roommate in college. Abe then questions what Marlena thinks about this relationship. Eric responds that he and Marlena have a lot to say to each other, but the last thing he will discuss with her is his love life. Abe says when John told him that Marlena was alive, it was like a miracle had happened. Eric talks about thinking he lost his mom and going to a very dark place where he wanted to kill Orpheus and Kristen with his bare hands. Eric thinks that’s why he empathizes with Sloan, because her loss was greater than his. Abe argues that Sloan’s mother tricked Chanel in to meeting her on that rooftop and attacking Chanel for her affair. Eric points out that’s what Chanel says. Abe insists it’s what happened and that Chanel had nothing to do with the death of Sloan’s father. Abe adds that Paulina did exactly what he would’ve done in protecting her child. Abe knows Eric has been through some horrible times and something like that changes a man, but the Eric Brady that he watched grow up was always a good judge of character and he would never be taken in by a woman like Sloan Peterson.

Tripp asks Wendy if they are on for tomorrow night or not. Johnny then arrives and tells Wendy that he knows it’s kind of late but he wanted to let her know that he made plans for them for tomorrow night. Johnny informs her that he booked the Bistro’s best table and told them he wants it to be a very special night for someone who is very important to him.

EJ returns to the living room, excited to tell Nicole about what he saw but she’s gone. Nicole then returns to the room in a sparkling red dress and says she thought she would slip in to something a little more comfortable. Nicole asks about the vintage champagne. EJ says he couldn’t locate it. Nicole says that’s okay as she doesn’t need any more alcohol and she just needs him. They kiss until Nicole suggests they go upstairs so he can take care of her needs. EJ tells her to go ahead and he’ll be right behind her. Nicole says he better be as she heads upstairs. EJ then pulls out his phone and sends a text to Li before heading upstairs.

Li walks through the town square and gets EJ’s text. Li wonders what the hell he wants now as he opens the text and is shocked to see a photo of Stefan and Gabi in bed together.

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed together, wishing they could stay like this forever. Gabi figures Li is already suspicious so she has to go. Stefan hates playing this game. Gabi says she does too but in 4 months, they will be together and running DiMera Enterprises as they were meant to.

Sloan returns home and tells Eric that she’s all his. Eric informs her that she just missed Abe. Sloan questions him showing up unannounced and remarks that she’ll have to get a restraining order against him too. Eric states that Abe is worried about his wife and stepdaughter. Sloan argues that she’s the innocent party here, so if anyone is being harassed, it’s her. Sloan pulls out her phone so Eric questions who she is texting. Sloan says she is just following up with a clerk who works for the judge, to make sure that her restraining order gets processed right away. Sloan declares that it’s time someone taught Paulina a lesson…

Abe waits at home until Paulina arrives. Abe thought she was coming straight here, so he was afraid something had happened to her as he hugs her. Paulina informs him that she had another run-in with Sloan. Abe says he went to her apartment to look for her and questions what happened. Paulina complains that Sloan went off on her and is getting a restraining order against her. Abe suggests that maybe Eric can talk some sense in to Sloan as he thinks he might have gotten through to him. Abe notes that Eric didn’t say anything about it but he thinks Eric might be having some doubts. Paulina suggests Eric should start thinking with his head. Abe thinks people are starting to catch on to Sloan. Abe hopes that before long, she will overplay her hand and they will nail her. Paulina says she needs to sit down but she is then shocked by an anonymous text message that says “Your husband can’t save you.”

Johnny tells Wendy about their dinner reservation while Tripp watches on. Johnny asks if something is wrong. Wendy says she just wishes that he checked with her before making the reservation. Johnny questions if she’s busy tomorrow night. Wendy reveals that she is going out with Tripp.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Did you hear what I said? I did. You still have feelings for me?

Aren’t you gonna say something? Well, When we had our little adventure in Hong Kong, I, I thought you liked me and then I moved here and you came back and I dunno, I just felt like you were over for me. I thought I was too. At least that’s what I told myself. Then today I was talking to a patient and it just kind of hit me like how much I still feel for you.

Wait, you were talking to a patient about. Do I know this person? Uh, yeah. It’s Chanel’s mom pulling a price. You discussed me with her. How could you do that? You were in the hospital. Why didn’t you say anything? Are are you all right? Yes. I I’m fine now. I you don’t have to worry. Video people. Were fine.

Don’t take themselves to the hospital now. What’s going on? You have to promise not to overreact, please. Almost. Okay. I went to the hospital because I thought, I thought something might be wrong with my heart. Your heart, but it’s not. It’s fine. I’m fine. Oh, what I had was, was a panic attack courtesy of that bitch Sloan Peterson.

You invited me over here to watch you work. No way. This isn’t gonna take long. I just am finishing up a request for a restraining order. I really think that’s necess. Yes, I do. Paul Price is drained. Showing up here, accusing me of sending her a, a threatening note with letters cut out of a magazine. Yeah,

that’s, uh, pretty wild accusation. Won’t happen again. I can guarantee that as soon as the judge grants this request, Paulina Price won’t be able to come with them 1500 feet of me. Now she doesn’t mind ending up in a jail sale.

Where the hell is she? Who are you looking for? Uh, it’s you. Gabby’s supposed to be here having a business dinner. Oh, you’re checking up on her. Right? That’s none of your business. What are you so worried about that Gabby lied to you? That she’s really hooking up with my Uncle Stephan right now.

I’ve spent enough time in this room to know that you are quite the decorator. Come on. Really? No. Really? You’ve got talent. It’s not like this is a picnic on the beach in Ibiza. Our matters is that we’re here together and we can’t find this. It’s perfect. You’re perfect. Perfect for me, Gabby. I have never loved anyone the way I love you.

I can’t believe it took me so long to remember that. Time’s over now. Okay. What matters is that we beat Kristen, and Ralph and Lee, and we did it because we love each other that much. I. Do you have any idea how long I’ve dreamt of this moment?

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

If we keep this up, that dinner that you smuggled in is gonna get cold. Let it, I’m gonna devour something. I want it to be you. I can’t believe you’ve got the Demara chef to make this for you. And on top of it, we have to keep our strength, but come on. Good point. Thank you. Wow. So how did you, uh, how did you get the kitchen to make all of this without the Lord and Lady of the Manor finding out, oh, please, EJ and Nicole, they know about dinner.

They know. Yeah. They just think that I’m upstairs eating in my bedroom with me. Belinda Trask.

How stupid does he think we are? I don’t know. He never should have talked me into coming downstairs. I should have bought straight into that room. There is no way in hell that Stefan would cheat on Gabby, especially with an I sculpture like Melinda Trust. Well, after what I saw when we got home and what we heard, Maybe good old Melinda can heat up whenever she wants to.

I don’t care what we saw or what we heard. Me too. What I wanna know is what Melinda tries is getting out of all of this more than I’m getting from you. Excuse me. How are you doing? Changing the subject to what? Well, maybe instead of obsessing over Stephanie’s love life, we could turn our attention to ours.

Why don’t you do whatever you came here to do and stay outta my business? Hey, I didn’t mean to overstep. I just, and when I came over to your guys’ apartment the other morning, I couldn’t help but notice a chill in the air between the two of you. I don’t care what you noticed. You don’t know anything about Gabby and me.

I’ll tell you what, I’ll make you a deal. I won’t comment on you and Gabby anymore if you promise to stop trying to convince me that there’s something going on between Wendy and Tripp. I can’t believe you talked about me to a patient. I’m a very private person. Okay. Well, Pauline is not just any patient.

She’s my sister’s boss. She’s like a friend of our family. She was really great to us after Kayla died.

Okay. I guess I understand. I’m really screwing this up. I’m, I’m sorry that I broke my mouth to Paul. No worth to you, but you don’t have to leave. I, I’m on duty. Okay. I, I decided that I had to talk to you and so I took a break, but I, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have butted between you and I I didn’t think you were butting in.

I didn’t realize you two were so serious. You act like Johnny’s my boyfriend or something. Well, isn’t he? But, but I thought you two patched things up. Yeah, we did. We’ve had like a few dates, but not exclusive. Oh, okay. What does that mean? I have a shot with you. Look, I am beyond flattered, flattered. Okay.

That came out wrong. No, no. I think you made yourself perfectly clear. Uh, how I feel for you is just the way you feel about me. That’s not what I’m saying. Oh, Kevin, what are you saying? I’m not sure.

I dunno what to say now. Maybe we should just stop talking.

How, how long have you been having these panic attacks? Um, it was just the one, I swear, Abe, I, I don’t want you worrying about. I have been worrying about you and Chanel ever since Sloan Peterson started this. The police should be putting a stop to it. I agree. But they keep saying all they have is my word against hers.

And Abe, she always is one step ahead of the cops. I didn’t even bother to tell ’em about the latest thing. What latest thing? After the police left my office, someone left a note for me. It said This is an over. Which in her handwriting, no. She knew better than to do that. Oh, she cut letters out from a magazine.

I wanna see that. No, I gave it to Chanel. You should have taken it to the police. They might have been able to lift fingerprints off it. Mm. If she was smart enough to cut letters from a magazine. She was smart enough to wear gloves besides who wanted to tell her a thing or two before I talked to them.

You confronted. What happened? She denied everything like she always does. That doesn’t, wherever you going, I’m going, no, no, you’re going home. You’re gonna lie down and get some rest. Oh, no, that’s, that’s it. It is time that I handled Sloane Peterson, myself.

This won’t take long. Where are you going? The courthouse. This slate? Yes. I wanna get this requested by tonight. Yeah, but the courthouse is closed. Well, they don’t lock the front entrance. I’m just gonna slide this under Judge Bauer’s door and I’ll come back. No, no, no. You can email it. No, judge Bauer’s Old School.

I want her to see this first thing tomorrow morning. Like it’s not gonna take long. I’ve. And I’ll make it up to you when I get back.

What has she done now?

I suppose it was petty of me insinuating there was something going on between Trip and Wendy. So why’d you do it? Because you went to such lengths to expose my involvement in what Rolf did to him, your involvement. You hired the guy, you told him to rearrange My Uncle Stephan’s brain. You are outraged on behalf of an uncle you never even knew.

No, I didn’t do it for him. I did it for my, no-no. What? Yeah, it’s Italian for grandfather Stephano, the mall boss. No, not to me. To me, he was the guy who pulled quarters out of thin air. Let me keep him, let me eat the cherries out of his Manhattans. I adored him. Stephan was his son. I mean, my own father didn’t give a damn about his brother.

So somebody had to, huh? You tried to ruin my life. And not only that, you also involved my younger sister in your place. Oh, okay. Wendy. Just as excited to get to the truth as I was. And Lee, we didn’t ruin your life. Okay. You did that on your own and you don’t think you’re splitting hairs here. What’s your problem?

You and Gabby are still together, so she and my uncle are farther apart than ever. Right? Right.

I suppose it is time to two of us bury the hatchet for my sister’s sake for reasons. That I don’t understand. She seems quite fond of you and you’ll be pleased to know that there doesn’t seem to be anything between her and Dr. Johnson, but friendship.

Did I, did I mis Reid? I’m sorry, I should ask this. No, no, no. It’s, it’s not like you forced yourself on me. Okay, then. Then why did you fool away just now?

Ever since I came to Salem, I haven’t had much luck in the romance department, and I don’t wanna mess up whatever this is before it even starts.

Okay. It’s pretty obvious there’s something happening between the two of us. I see you feel that too.

It’s awesome,

but there’s still Johnny to consider. I care about him. Right, right. Of course. Um,

what if you and I went on a real day tomorrow night and then afterwards, if you’re not feeling it or you just decide that Johnny is the one, we’re just going back to Peter’s friends, what do you say?

I thought you said this whole thing with Melinda Chaz, just last night. Yes. But I had to cover for where I was going to be tonight. So I sent her a text to come here and she was cool with it. So what happened tonight, Melinda and I had to make out in front of Nicole. You made out with that bitch? Just, just for two minutes.

Okay. But now EJ and Nicole think I’m upstairs with her so I could be down here with you. So be careful with that woman. She’s on our side. She hates EJ for letting Kristen escape. I don’t care. Doesn’t do anything without wanting something in return. Well, I already promised her that I would make a sizable donation to the foundation she set up in her daughter’s memory.

What if she wants a real shot with you? I have told her that you are the only woman for me.

So I remember the feeling like I lost you forever, Stephen. I can’t, I can’t go through that again. Gabby. You’re not gonna lose me again. You said something like that the night that you helped Vivian leave town, and then the next time I saw you was on a more table table.

Everything is fine now. Right

now is not the time to get superstitious. I get that and, and I know that you made quite the effort, but could have picked a better place for this rendezvous. I mean, right over here is where I helped Abigail tie Gwen to a. Do you know what else happened right here? What? Right here is where you and I got real with each other about our feelings.

Remember that finally admitted our true feelings for one another. So maybe being trapped down here wasn’t the worst thing. I don’t know about you, but I’m not here to be rescued.

Tell me you’ve forgotten. Of course, I haven’t forgotten. I remember every second I’ve spent with you. And every second. Every second. And I know that we’ve had bad times, but it’s, it’s led me to this journey, led me to where I’ve always wanted to be. Right here in your arms.

Cut out of this one either.

Hey, hey, where is she? Where’s Sloan? She’s not here. She’s out to run some errands at this time of night. You better hope that she’s not delivering another threatening note to my wife.

Oh my God. Are you stalking me now? I should be asking you that question. Nothing to see here. How? Nothing to see here. Really, the mayor’s wife is harass. A private citizen. Oh girl, you are losing your mind. You should know I just filed a restraining order against you. You did what? You heard me. By this time tomorrow, you won’t be able to come within 1500 feet of me not getting thrown in jail like the criminal you are.

Peace offering. Thank you.

I’m sorry if I’ve been neglecting you, but in my defense I thought you were enjoying our little game with my brother and Gabby as much as I was, I was. My inner schemer has been garment for quite a while now because he was spending so much time crying with Eric, but, oh, here it comes. No, listen, listen, listen.

Being a co-conspirator isn’t enough for me, even if I’m a co-conspirator with benefits. Is it enough for you?

Oh, but now you’re cutting me off because I made the complaints.

I do see you as more than my co-conspirator. You’re the woman that I want to be with, and it’s high time. I started acting like it. Well then where are you going? This occasion calls for more than near cocktails. I’m going to go down to the wine cellar and grab a bottle of Father’s vintage champagne, and then I’ll be right back to romance, the beautiful woman by my side.

That’s more like it, and I promise you not. Another word be spoken about Stefan or Gabby in this house.

What’s wrong? You’re gonna make a phone call right now. You never heard of setting the mood.

We have this dance.

Whisper. This is a dream of ending. I hope we never wake up.

With harmony

yesterday, you are even more beautiful than I remember.

Can I get you something? Yeah. Hey, I can see you’re upset. I am more than upset. That woman that you are sleeping with has been terrorizing. My wife and my stepdaughter terrorizing our very strong words. Abe. Paul, you know what? To the hospital today? Why? Why? She said she was having a heart attack, but it turns.

She was having a panic attack. Now, what do you say to that? I’m sorry. I’m just really sorry that happened. But Sloan says she wasn’t anywhere near Paulina’s office today. Oh, God. She’s such a, she’s such a, a woman of her word. You know, somebody, somebody left a note, Paul Lena, right after the police left and that note said, this isn’t over.

Bitch and the letters were cut out of the magazine. Someone says she didn’t do that either. What the hell else was she going to say? Don’t you honestly believe her?

The accounts of your own

God, God sake. Your, your father and your mother are two of my closest friends. I’ve known him since you were born. Are you, are, are you gonna stay here? Neutral when this woman is coming after my loved ones.

You got a restraining order against me. I’ll have it by tomorrow morning. Haa, you admitted to me that you came to town with the express purpose of going after me and my loved ones. Well, did anybody hear me say that to you? I heard it. You hear what you wanna hear. You know, the truth is that I came to Salem with the sole purpose of opening a law practice.

It was only a coincidence that you and your home wrecking slut of a daughter happened to be here too. You, you took that coincidence and just ran with it like the bottom feeding shy at you more as opposed to you. The shady, uh, real estate tycoon who tried to tear down this historic town square and put up a big box store.

If you’re calling me a liar, then you’re just projecting. You lied through your teeth to cover up Chanel’s involvement with my mother. Oh, oh, oh. That was no lie, huh? And you are no better than your mother. She trapped Chanel on that roof so she could kill her. Chanel is the one that did the killing. Seems to me like it runs in the family.

I hear that your other daughter. The one who you pretended like she was your niece for most of her life is in prison for shooting her own father to death.

You know what’s good for you? You will keep my daughter’s name outta your filthy mouth. That sounds to me like another threat. I’ll just like to add that to my complaint.

What is the matter with you? It’s, it’s panic attack. Oh, I can’t get my breath. Yeah, breathe

Torturous. I wish Jing Wynn could see me having. Civilized drink with our new boyfriend. Hmm. I’m not her boyfriend yet. Hmm. Huh. Yeah, we’re taking it a day at time. You all right with that? Uh, well I wish things were moving a little faster. I’m actually, uh, bringing her here for dinner tomorrow night. That’s why I ran into you.

I came here to make the reservation. So you’re serious about it? Yeah. Yeah. I am.

Please remember that Jing Wen isn’t as, um, experienced as you are. You know nothing about me. Oh, Gabby does. And she filled me in.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I, I guess I earned that reputation, but it’s different with Wendy. I haven’t felt this way about anyone since my divorce, and I wish you and my sister nothing but the best. Well, thank you. Uh, I should probably get going. I gotta tell Wendy about our big nights. Yeah. I’ll see you around.

I hope you have better luck finding your woman than I do.

That was, yeah,

I can’t believe. I’ve missed us doing this. Me too. How am I gonna stay away from you for another four months? Just have to think about them. Lovely stock shares. Okay, the last thing I want to think about right now, stock shares. Well, we have time. Make it worth our.

Anna left the bloody door open again.

What kind of stunt are you trying to pull? No, not stunt, breath, breathe. Deep breath. What kind of attention do you think this sort of performance is gonna get you from me or anybody else? No, not performance. You know, if this is a panic attack, well then you’re getting off easy. If there is any justice in this world, you and Chanel will never know.

Another moment’s. Peace.

No. I think of you as part of my family.

I hear a butt coming. You are constant in my. But Chanel and Paulina, they aren’t, I mean, we hardly even know one another. What the hell are you talking about? You were there at my wedding when I married Paulina. Chanel just ended a relationship with your niece. Paul’s sister was your mother’s roommate at college.

You know what, what? What does Mar Lena think about this relationship? My mom and I have a lot to say to each other, but the last thing that I’ll be discussing with her is my love life.

I know when John told me, uh, told me that Marlena was alive, it was like a miracle. It happened. No, it was a miracle. We thought we lost her. I thought I lost my mom and I went to a very dark place. I wanted to kill Morpheus and Kristen with my own hands, and I wanted to watch them tie. I think that’s why I empathize with Sloan.

Because her loss, it was greater than mine.

Sloan’s mother tricked Chanel into meeting her on that rooftop. She had found out about the affair and she attacked Chanel. That’s what Chanel says, Abe, because that’s what happened. Chanel had nothing to do with the death of Sloan’s father and Paul did exactly what I would’ve done under the circumstances.

Protect my child.

I know you’ve been through some horrible times and something like that, that, that, that changes a man.

But the Eric Brady. That I watched grow up.

He was always a good judge of character and he would never, never be taken in by a woman like Sloan Peterson.

So are we on for tomorrow night or No?

Hold that thought.

Johnny. Hey, um, you know, it’s, it’s kind of late, but I wanted to stop by and let you know that I made plans for us tomorrow night. You did? Yes, I did. I booked us the bistro’s best table. I told the manager that I wanted to be a very special night for someone who’s really important to me.

You are never going to guess what I just saw. Nicole,

I thought you’d left. Oh, I thought I’d slip into something a.

So is Harold chilling, the vintage champagne. Actually, I, I couldn’t locate it. I need to have a conversation with Tony about Anna’s expensive tastes. That’s okay. I don’t need anymore alcohol. I just need you.

So why don’t you and I go upstairs and need, take care of my needs? You go ahead. I’ll be right behind you. You better be. I’ll be right behind you. Mm-hmm.

Ej, what the hell does he want now?

Wish we could stay like this forever. No, me too. But he whose name, who cannot not be spoken is. Suspicious. Right. And now I gotta go. I hate playing this game.

I know. Me too. In four months. You and I are gonna be together. We’re gonna enterprises together just as we

I’m back, and I’m all yours. You just missed Dave Carver, are you? The mayor showed up at my home unannounced. I’m gonna have to get a restraining order against him too. He’s worried about his wife and his stepdaughter. Okay. Hey, I’m the innocent party here. Get it. If anyone’s being harassed, it’s me.

Who are you texting? I’m following up with a friend who clerks for Judge Bauer. Wanna make sure that my request for that restraining order gets processed right away. It’s time someone taught Paulina Price a.

I thought you were coming straight here. I, I, I was just afraid something had happened to you. Oh, something did. I had another run in with Sloan Peterson. I went to her, Barbara to look for her, and she was with. What happened? She started it on me. Oh. Told me she’s getting a restraining order against me. Can you believe it?

Well, I think it’s better if you don’t see her, but, you know, maybe, maybe Eric can talk some sense into her. I, I, I think I got through to him tonight. I mean, he didn’t, you know, he didn’t, uh, really say anything about it, but I. I think he’s having some doubts about her. Oh, well, oh, maybe that, that young man, he should start thinking with his head instead of with his libido.

Well, I think people are starting to catch on to Sloan. I just hope that before too long she’ll overplay her hand. And we’ll nail mm-hmm. From your mouth to God’s ears. Oh, I need to sit down. Oh, yeah, yeah. Wait. Here, here. Everything’s gonna be all right. Oh, I got you. I got you. Oh, ignore it. Ignore it. Ignore it.

It might be Chanel. Oh, oh, it’s not Chanel. Whoa. What does it say?

Your husband can’t save you.

Uh, dinner’s at seven, so I thought I’d pick. Say six 30,

something wrong. I just wish you checked with me before you made this plan. Are you busy tomorrow night?

Yeah, I am.

I’m going.

Andrew was confident he could get Harris released from custody. Harris wasn’t sure it was a good idea. He thought he might still be under Megan’s influence. He said he was a killer too. He felt he should have to answer to that. Andrew reminded him that he was Megan’s victim and he had a lot to live for and that included Hope. He didn’t think he could live up to her ex-husband. Andrew knew Hope would always have a place for Bo in her heart, but he’s dead. He wanted to know who Harris was competing with as far as Hope is concerned. Hope demanded that Megan tell her and Steve where Kayla was taken. She said it was a name they were familiar with and she said it was Thomas Banks. She told them that she didn’t give the order to take Kayla. She said “Thomas” went rogue. She didn’t understand it because she gave him a good life there.

Update written by Joseph

Stefan has a drink in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Nicole walks in and says she hasn’t seen him all day and asks how last night went at the Salem Inn. Stefan responds that it went great until Li walked in while Nicole pretends to be surprised.

EJ meets Li in the park. EJ asks Li what happened when he caught Gabi and Stefan in bed together and if he kicked Gabi to the curb to take back his DiMera shares. Li responds that he didn’t so EJ asks why not. EJ argues that Gabi broke the terms of their agreement and slept with Stefan. Li then reveals that Gabi didn’t sleep with Stefan.

Wendy comes home and greets Gabi, who says she completely lost track of time. Wendy asks if she’s okay. Gabi says she’s fine and is just working on her new line. Wendy asks if Gabi has talked to anyone. Gabi questions why she’s asking her questions. Wendy guesses she doesn’t know and says it’s about Stefan. Gabi asks if something is wrong. Wendy says kind of and informs Gabi that Stefan is sleeping with the district attorney.

Melinda goes to Rafe’s office and reminds him that she told him if he didn’t hand her an airtight case against Sloan, her office would have to drop the whole thing. Melinda says either Rafe is still lining up evidence or he has no idea who broke in to Paulina’s office. Melinda asks which one it is.

Abe walks through the town square and calls Paulina, asking where she is. Paulina claims that she’s still at the office, cleaning up the mess that Sloan made and she’s going to be stuck there for awhile. Paulina apologizes to Abe, while she’s actually at the hospital for her appointment and Tripp enters her hospital room.

Rafe informs Melinda that they had to cut Sloan loose after she denied everything. Melinda asks if he thought she would break down and admit everything, noting that he doesn’t have a shred of evidence. Rafe insists that if there’s evidence out there, they will find it. Melinda warns Rafe that if Sloan sues them for harassment, this one’s on him as she then leaves his office.

Gabi asks where Wendy heard that Stefan is sleeping with Melinda. Wendy says she’s sorry but she saw it in Leo’s column in the Spectator. Gabi laughs off the idea. Wendy thought she would be more upset and questions how she can be so sure that it’s not true.

Nicole asks Stefan about Li walking in on him. Stefan says he was worried about it happening ever since she left him at the Inn, but EJ assured him that Li would be kept off the scent. Nicole claims this is awful and asks how Li found out. Nicole says that EJ will be furious and asks how ugly it got. Nicole adds that Gabi must be a wreck if she’s not getting Li’s DiMera shares. Stefan clarifies that their deal is still on and Gabi is still getting the shares. Nicole questions that happening even after Li found them in bed. Stefan then reveals to her that Li found him in bed, but with somebody else.

EJ tells Li that he doesn’t understand. Li explains that he followed the plan, burst in, and caught Stefan in bed but Gabi wasn’t there. Li then reveals that Stefan was in bed with Melinda Trask which shocks EJ. EJ argues that this doesn’t make sense since Nicole left the room and Stefan was with Gabi. Li tells EJ that somebody pulled a fast one on him. EJ realizes it was Stefan.

Nicole tells Stefan to start over and questions Li finding him in bed with someone other than Gabi and asks who it was. Melinda then arrives and kisses Stefan, leaving Nicole confused.

Gabi questions Wendy thinking that Stefan turned to Melinda after he couldn’t be with her. Wendy points out that Stefan can’t be with Gabi and admits that Melinda is beautiful. Gabi argues that Leo lies for a living while Stefan is a DiMera and they pay off district attorneys rather than sleeping with them. Gabi wants to change the subject and asks about Wendy’s love life. Wendy responds that she doesn’t think she and Johnny have much of a love life, more of a hang out and watch movies life. Gabi then informs her that she wasn’t talking about Johnny, but about Tripp.

Abe tells Paulina that he’s in the town square now and he’s happy to wait for her. Paulina says she doesn’t know how long she’ll be and claims that security is there to check the cameras so she has to go. They say I love you and hang up. Paulina tries to explain to Tripp that she was lying to Abe because she doesn’t want him to worry about her as it’s not good for him. Tripp tells her that she doesn’t have to explain anything to him. Tripp asks Paulina why she is here because her doctor got called in to surgery. Tripp looks over the notes and asks if she was experiencing heart palpitations. Paulina explains that she thought she was having a heart attack but Chanel’s new hire said it was a panic attack. Tripp remarks that she’s glad that she came in to see a doctor rather than someone who bakes cakes for a living. Paulina then informs him that Talia is a great baker but also a full-fledged doctor.

Abe runs in to Jade in the town square and says he’s been hearing really good things about her work. Jada says she loves her job and calls Rafe a great boss. Abe tells her to have a nice night as he walks away. Talia then comes out from the bakery and talks about her day at work. Jada comments on a doctor talking about working at a bakery. Talia says once a doctor always a doctor and tells Jada that she can ask Paulina, because just today she performed a medical miracle. Talia explains that Paulina was convinced she was having a heart attack, but she diagnosed it as a panic attack. Jada downplays it so Talia complains that she’s always put down her achievements. Jada jokes that she’s always spoke highly of her cupcakes which Talia calls works of art. Jada mentions that she can see Paulina having a panic attack since Sloan is dedicated to ruining her life. Talia asks about the investigation. Jada says it’s ongoing, so first thing in the morning, they will go through everything they have and find something to put Sloan in a cell where they belong. Talia asks Jada what she’s doing tonight. Jada says she’s getting takeout and watching TV. Talia questions when Jada last went on a date and encourages her to get back out there. Talia asks Jada about the hunky cop that she always sees her with. Jada responds that Shawn is her partner and married, but Talia clarifies that she’s talking about Rafe.

Abe goes to Rafe’s office and asks if there’s anything new about the break-in to Paulina’s office. Rafe says they didn’t have enough evidence to hold Sloan but he and Jada will start over tomorrow. Abe mentions just running in to Jada and asks how she’s doing here. Rafe says she’s great and getting better every day. Abe asks if Rafe likes her then. Rafe asks if he didn’t make that clear. Abe clarifies that he didn’t mean professionally and questions if there’s nothing going on between them. Rafe asks where this is coming from and assures that he knows the rules and how that would violate his new policy of superiors and subordinates getting involved which Abe confirms. Abe doesn’t mean to drag this out but points out that Rafe hasn’t denied it. Abe then asks Rafe if he is or isn’t romantically interested in one of his detectives.

EJ tells Li that Stefan must have figured it out, went along with the setup, but at the last minute got Melinda to play his love interest. Li questions how Stefan pulled off this plan while EJ wonders how Stefan got Melinda to agree to it. Li complains that he looked like a fool and now Stefan and Gabi know that he’s on to them. EJ asks if Gabi said that. Li says that Gabi is sticking to the script. Li blames EJ for Stefan and Gabi now having the upper hand. EJ doubts how long they can keep up the charade.

Stefan and Melinda continue kissing as Nicole pours a drink and asks when they first connected. Stefan claims it’s been building for quite some time and notes that Nicole doesn’t seem very happy for them.

Paulina asks Tripp if Talia was right that it was just a panic attack. Tripp says it looks that way but notes that Dr. Greenberg will still want to make his own judgment. Paulina brings up Tripp sleeping in her daughter’s bed. Tripp confirms that he got Chanel’s old room at the apartment. Paulina asks if he wishes Chanel was still there. Tripp responds that he doesn’t think she does since there’s a lot of bad memories for her there. Paulina agrees and suggests maybe Tripp could do something else for her after this. Paulina knows Tripp knows that Allie broke Chanel’s heart and now she’s worried about her health. Tripp asks if she wants him to call Chanel to tell her the medical report is fine. Paulina then reveals that she wants Tripp to call Chanel and ask her out on a date. Paulina reminds Tripp that they had real sparks. Tripp also remembers Paulina stopping the whole thing. Paulina asks if Tripp is still attracted to Chanel and questions if he’s keeping his distance from her because of Allie. Tripp says that’s part of it and admits he likes Chanel as a friend. Paulina encourages that maybe they could lead to something more than friendship, unless there is someone else. Tripp says he’ll just get her test results. Tripp acknowledges that he heard her question but chose not to answer. Paulina warns that she will hound him until he tells her. Tripp then admits that it’s his roommate Wendy, but she’s seeing Johnny DiMera. Paulina questions if he’s just going to give up and let him have her. Paulina urges Tripp to fight for her. Tripp says that she seems to really like Johnny, but Paulina suggests maybe she likes Tripp more and that it could be fate. Paulina encourages Tripp to tell Wendy how he feels or he may end up regretting that he didn’t for a very long time.

Gabi asks Wendy what the story is with Tripp. Wendy responds that he’s just sharing the rent on the apartment. Gabi says that may be how the chapter started but she saw them in Hong Kong and argues that Tripp never got over her. Wendy blames Gabi’s imagination but Gabi argues that Tripp is a doctor and doesn’t need to live here but he wanted to live with her. Gabi talks about seeing how they are and that Wendy loves living with him. Wendy says they are friends. Gabi brings up how Tripp looks at her and doesn’t think just friends is his choice. Wendy admits she may have flirted with Tripp and Joey in Hong Kong because she liked the attention. Wendy adds that maybe she and Tripp still do it but claims it’s not real and just a game. Gabi says not from where she’s sitting.

Rafe tells Abe that he is not seeing Jada and asks if that’s clear enough. Abe says he’s sorry to push him but it is his job. Rafe says he understands but there is something about the new policy that does bother him and brings up how he was involved with Hope when they were both on the force but no one in the department ever said a word. Abe explains that they were equals and that’s the difference. Abe adds that he would change the rule for him, especially with how things turned out with Nicole, but his hands are tied. Abe tells Rafe to take care and exits.

Jada tells Talia that with the new ruling, she and Rafe could both lose their jobs if they even went to the movies together. Talia calls it interesting that she asked her about a guy and she pulls out the department rulebook, but never said she wasn’t interested in him. Jada questions why they are still talking about this. Talia feels she’s been defensive ever since she brought him up. Jada brings up how her and Rafe’s last relationships ended and says neither one of them are ready to jump in to that anytime soon anyway. Talia asks if she’s sure he feels that way. Jada calls it a bad idea and says when she was with Eric, she was practically stalked by his jealous ex-wife. Jada adds that Rafe divorced his ex because she was screwing her ex-husband. Jada points out that those exes were Nicole and Eric. Jada adds that she doesn’t think her and Rafe having a mutual hatred of Nicole is a good basis for a relationship. Jada asks Talia if they can just drop this and go get some damn dinner as she storms off and Talia then follows her.

Nicole questions Stefan and Melinda about this building up for awhile when Stefan was just saying that Gabi was the only woman for him a few days ago. Stefan admits he did say those things about Gabi and claims that shortly after Nicole left, Gabi got cold feet about getting caught so she must value the DiMera shares more than him. Nicole questions Stefan realizing that he’d be happier with an old fashioned girl like Melinda. Melinda tells Stefan that she had a dream about him last night and whispers it to him which makes him laugh. Stefan tells Nicole that he promised to show Melinda his stamp collection in his room, so he takes her upstairs, leaving Nicole confused.

Li complains to EJ that Gabi lied to him and he couldn’t contradict her without telling her that EJ helped him. Li argues that Stefan played EJ and now he’s playing him, so EJ made him look like an idiot and he doesn’t like it one damn bit. EJ encourages Li to take a breath. EJ insists that Stefan and Gabi will find a way to hook up and they will catch them, they just need to be clever with it. Li tells EJ to go to Hell and questions why he ever partnered with him when he doesn’t want to humiliate Gabi and torpedo the deal. EJ tells Li that he has no chance in hell of getting Gabi back, reminding him of when Gabi found out that Li didn’t tell her that Stefan was alive and tried to brainwash him in to hating her as well as trying to kill him. EJ doesn’t think couples therapy is going to help and his DiMera shares are the only thing he could possibly salvage from their trainwreck marriage. Li argues that he doesn’t give a damn about the shares but it’s all EJ cares about. Li tells EJ to stay the hell away from his marriage and swears that EJ will regret it if he makes one move. Li then storms off.

Jada and Talia have dinner at the Brady Pub. Jada jokes that now she has a chance to trample over Talia’s personal boundaries and ask about her personal life. Talia says it doesn’t look like she’ll have the time as Rafe enters the Pub. Talia then calls Rafe over while Jada tells her not to do this. Talia invites Rafe to join them. Rafe says he was just picking up a to-go order. Jada adds that Rafe probably has plans. Talia argues that he has to eat dinner somewhere so she suggests he eat with them. Talia adds that Jada was just telling her about the fraternization rules, but there are three of them here and nothing could possibly happen with her sister watching. Rafe thanks Talia for the invite and goes to get his food. Jada remarks that she’s going to kill Talia for this.

Paulina hopes Tripp will think about what she said. Tripp doesn’t think she heard a word that he said. Paulina tells Tripp that he’s wrong and making a huge mistake. Paulina recalls when she met Chanel’s father and he was dating someone else, so she almost walked away but then she decided to make her move and she made him very happy while they were together. Paulina adds that Chanel is here now because she knew what was best for everyone. Paulina warns Tripp about ignoring her advice. Tripp asks Paulina if she ever takes advice from someone who cares about her and has experience in the matter. Paulina guesses she walked in to that. Tripp advises her to tell Abe what’s going on because he loves her and knows her so he’ll know she’s keeping something from him and will probably imagine something much worse. Tripp adds that if it’s anxiety related, then keeping a secret is very stressful. Tripp asks how Paulina would feel if Abe was keeping something like this from her. Paulina jokes about it being infuritating to get a lecture from him because he’s right. Tripp tells her that she’s free to get dressed and go. Paulina calls him a good doctor and a good friend as Tripp then exits the room.

Wendy still doesn’t understand why Gabi is so interested in her and Tripp, unless this was a diversion to stop talking about Stefan. Gabi says there is nothing to say about Stefan. Li then comes home. Li greets them and calls them one big happy family. Gabi gets a text and says she has to go talk about her launch. Li questions it being at this hour and offers to go with her. Gabi says she’ll handle it. Li reminds her that he set up the deal. Gabi says she appreciates it but sometimes one on one is better. Gabi then exits. Wendy asks Li what he feels like ordering for dinner. Li claims he just remembered there’s something he has to do and quickly exits.

EJ goes home where Nicole tells him that he won’t believe what she has to tell him. EJ reveals he already knows about Li catching Stefan in bed with Melinda. EJ doesn’t know how Stefan convinced Melidna to play along. Nicole asks if he’s sure they are pretending which EJ questions. Nicole tells him there’s more and informs him that Melinda stopped by and they sat on the couch like horny teenagers then pretended to get carried away and went upstairs where they are continuing to pretend.

In Stefan’s room, Melinda tells him that was fun but asks why they had to do an encore performance for Nicole when EJ is going to tell her about last night. Stefan admits it was a bit of a prologue but tells Melinda how much it meant to him and that he will never forget what she’s done. Melinda tells him to cut to the chase and asks what he wants now. Stefan reveals that he didn’t ask her here to stick it to Nicole, but because he actualy needs her to be his decoy.

Talia points out that Rafe and Jada ordered the same thing and says great minds think alike. Jada jokes that they both just like hamburgers and water. Talia claims she just remembered that she has to call an old colleague to catch up so she’s taking her food with her. Talia tells them to enjoy their burgers and leaves them alone.

Tripp comes home and tells Wendy that he had to cover for Dr. Greenberg. Wendy tells him there is some leftovers in the fridge as Tripp asks if she’s leaving. Wendy mentions that Johnny said something about hanging out with friends in the town square. Tripp asks if it’s a date but Wendy says she just thought she could catch up with him and hang out. Tripp tells her to have fun. Wendy goes to leave but Tripp stops her and says if he doesn’t say this now, he might never. Tripp then informs Wendy that he has feelings for her.

Paulina joins Abe in the town square. Abe hugs her and says he stopped by the office earlier but must have just missed her. Paulina then admits she wasn’t there and she lied to him earlier because she was in the hospital.

EJ and Nicole listen in at Stefan’s bedroom door from the hallway and hear Melinda inside, moaning and exclaiming Stefan’s name, while she’s really just sitting on the bed with a deck of cards.

Stefan sneaks in to the living room and in to the secret tunnels.

Li goes to the Bistro and looks around confused.

Stefan sets up a candle lit dinner and a bed of rose petals in the DiMera wine cellar in the tunnels. Gabi arrives and they immediately begin kissing.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

First thing in the morning, we’re gonna go.

I haven’t seen you all day. Hmm. How did it go with the Salem in last night went great till we locked in

finally. Sorry. I did locked in meetings all day. You my priority. Lucky. So what happened when you caught Gabby and Stefan and bear together? Did you take Becky to mirror shares and kick Gabby to the curb? No, I didn’t. And why not leave? Not only did she break the terms of your agreement, but she betrayed you.

I mean, she slept with another man, was s step, except she didn’t sleep with them.

Hi. Hi. Oh my gosh. You’re back from work. I completely lost track of time.

Are you okay? I’m fine. Just working on my new collection for Saxons, right? Temp. You talk to anyone? Okay. What’s up? Why? Why are you asking me if I’m fine? Why? Why are you asking me if I’ve talked to. Then you don’t know. Don’t know what it’s about. Stephan. Stephan is something wrong. Paul kind of. He’s sleeping with the district attorney.

Come on in. Ah, DH ra. How can I help you? Well, the last time we talked, I told you that if you didn’t hand me an airtight case against Sloan Peterson, my office would have to drop the whole thing. Yeah. Since then, radio silence. So either you are still lining up your evidence or you don’t have the faintest idea who broke into Paulina Price’s office.

Which is it?

Oh, hey. Hey. What’s up? Well, I was wondering where you were. I’m still at the office. I’m still trying to clean up the mess the sled and made when she trashed the place.

Um, I’m gonna be stuck here for, for a while. Sorry.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

We had to cut Peterson loose after she denied everything, so calling her in here was a Hail Mary. But you hope she’d break down sobbing and admit to everything? Well, actually calling her in is standard operating procedure. In a case like this, you mean a case where you don’t have a shred of evidence? If there’s evidence out there, we’ll find it.

Well shred lightly because if Counselor Peterson decides to sue us for harassment and she is a litigious kind of gal, This one’s on you. We never met.

Always a pleasure, man. Da.

Stephan is sleeping with D Trask. Where did you hear that from? I’m so sorry. This must suck for you. I just, I saw an item about it and lady whistleblowers column, and they spectator, come on. You don’t really believe anything you’re reading in that rag, do you? I mean, the very idea is preposterous. Why are you looking at me that way?

I guess I just, I thought you’d be more upset. I mean, how can you be so sure that it’s not true?

Sorry, just had to send that. Um, No problem. So you were saying Lee walked in, stormed in. It’s more like it. Ever since he left us at the end, I was worried about it happening and EJ assured me that he would have his best people on Lee’s people and he would be kept off the scent. This, this is awful. How did Lee even figure it out?

Look at ejs gonna be furious. He’s gonna be furious. So how ugly did it get? It didn’t get physical, did it? Wow. Not to mention Gabby’s shares. She’s not gonna get any now. She must be a wreck. No, no. Gabby and Lee’s deal is still on. Really? Hmm. Even though he found you in bed with her, Lee found me in bed.

Ooh. Somebody else,

I, I don’t understand. You did go to the Salem in last night, didn’t you? I followed the plan Exactly. I burst in and caught step infl grande. Wait, I thought you said that didn’t sleep together. I did. Gabby wasn’t there. You just said you caught in Infl Grande. What a solo act. No, he wasn’t alone. He was in bed with Melinda Trask.

Melinda Trask, the da. The iron fist in the iron glove, the same. You’re joking. Oh, believe me, this is not a joke. This. This doesn’t make any sense. When Nicole left the room, Gabby was in there with Stephan and you were on your way with the key card that you so thoughtfully provided me because you were helping me, right?

Of course I was. Nicole and I both were. While either your friend Nicole’s lying or somebody pulled a fast one on you, a somebody called Stephan.

I, I’m sorry. S Stephan, I, you’re gonna have to start over. Lee found you in bed with someone other than Gabby. That’s right. But who

you’re here after last night? Wild Horse couldn’t stop me.

So if you really think that Stephan and the DA have a thing, if you really think you turned to her after me, Paul, I mean, he can’t be with you because of the deal you made with my brother and. You have to admit she’s beautiful. Okay, Wendy, let’s get real here for a minute. Leo. Stark lies for a living.

Stephan, Mr. Damara, they pay off das. They don’t sleep with them. All right, so let’s change the subject. Let’s talk about your love life. Yeah. I don’t think Johnny and I have much of a love life. It’s more like a hangout and watch movies life. Yeah, I wasn’t talking about Johnny. I was talking about Tripp.

I’m in the square right now, but I’m happy to wait for you. Oh. Oh, that sounds so very sweet. But I don’t know how long I’ll be, um, I have to run, uh, the man’s here to check the security system. Oh, okay. I’ll let you go then. Love you. Love you too.

Want me to check the security system? Um, about that. Pause. See, I can explain. You see a No, this price look come alone. Come on Paulina. Paulina. Everything that happens in this room is confidential. You don’t have to explain anything to me. Oh, no, no, no. But I want to, um, I’m not lying to my husband. Oh, of course I was.

I flat out lied, but it wasn’t meant to hurt him. It, it was to, to see he worries about me and I don’t want him to, it’s not good for him. Like I said, you don’t have to explain anything to me. Okay. Now, could you, uh, tell me why you’re here? Well, I have an appointment with Dr. Greenberg. I guess he’s running late.

Uh, no, he actually got called into surgery. He asked me to handle your initial workup and. This is Chanel made the appointment for you and when Dr. Greenberg’s a cardiologist, were you experiencing heart palpitations? I thought I was having a heart attack, but, um, Chanel’s new hire, she said it was just a panic attack.

Well, it’s a good thing you came in. I’d much rather you get a diagnosis from a doctor than someone who I, his cakes for a living. Well, Talia Hunter is a great baker, but she also happens to be a full-fledged doctor. Doctor.

Oh, well good evening, detective. It’s, it’s nice to see you. I’m off duty. Why not call me Jada. Okay, Jada, you know, I’ve been hearing really good things about your work. I love my job. And has Commissioner Hernandez been treating you right? Oh, absolutely. He’s a great boss. Yeah. That’s good to hear. Mm-hmm. You have a nice night.

You too.

So you’re up work. It’s not work if you love it. I just made a strudel that was a masterpiece. If I do say so. You know, it’s, it’s kind of weird hearing a doctor, well, X doctor be so happy to triple their customer’s cholesterol levels. Look, I know you think I’m wasting my medical degree, but once a doctor, always a doctor, whatever, you say, oh, you don’t believe me.

Ask my boss’s mother. She’ll tell you, just today I performed a medical miracle.

So you performed a medical miracle? Yes. Chanel’s mother was convinced she was having a heart attack, and I diagnosed it as a panic attack. Wow. You know, that’s right up there with the loaves and fishes. You always minimize my achievements. I’ve always spoke very highly of your cupcakes. The works of art.

Huh? You know, I just see Paulina having a panic attack. That Peterson woman is just dedicated to ruining her life and Chanel’s. So what’s happening with that investigation? It’s ongoing. Oh, you’ve got fuck Kiss, right? You want me to dish your little hot cross buns? Look, ongoing means first thing in the morning.

We’re gonna go through everything we have and find some hard evidence to. Counselor Sloan Peterson in a cell where she belongs first thing tomorrow. Uh huh So that means you’re off tonight. Yeah. So what are you gonna do? Get some takeout, watch tv. You know, life in the fast lane. Hmm. Okay. Stop. Let me ask you this.

When’s the last time you’ve been on a date since that X, please. Five. Your silence speaks volumes. Girl, you need to get back out. What about that hunky cop guy that I always see you with? Hmm. Sean’s my partner and he’s married. No, I’m not talking about him. I’m talking about your boss, the Hernandez guy.

Hmm. Hey, commissioner. Hello, Mr. Mayor. Check in, see if there’s anything new on the break here, and call me the sauce. Yeah, well, unfortunately we didn’t have enough evidence on Peterson to hold her, but Jada and I will start over tomorrow. Jada Hunter, right? Mm-hmm. I just ran into her. Yeah. So how’s she doing over here?

Great. Terrific instincts and, uh, getting better every day. See you like it? Yes. Did I not make that clear? I didn’t mean professionally. There’s nothing going on between the two of you. Is there, so, uh oh. Where’s this coming from? I know the rules that would violate your new policy, uh, superiors and subordinates getting involved.

Yes, yes, it would. Mm-hmm. Now, I don’t mean to drag this out, RA, but I still haven’t heard a denial commission. Now are you or are you not romantically interested in one of your detectives?

So Stephanie figured it out. He went along with us setting him and Gavi up, and then at the last minute he got Melinda Tross to play his love interest, hard to understand how he could penetrate such a subtle cunning plot. And the hell did he get trust to go along. You think that’s the important issue?

Not only did I look like a fool last night, but Stefan and Gabby now know that I’m onto them. She said that No, she’s sticking to the script. She said she saw through Nicole and that the Dememer shares mean more to her than Stefan does. She said all that with a straight face. Thanks to you, Mr. Damara. I can’t help but think that Stephanie and Gabby now have the upper hand.

No, I don’t know about that. I mean, just how long can they keep up the Shirad?

So is there anything more wonderful than love’s first bloom?

So me, uh, when did you two first, you know, Connect home. Say it’s been building for quite some time. Brewing like a percolator. Like a geyser ready to blow. How vivid. So anyway, last night fit blue, right? Maybe I’ll face here in a cold, but. You don’t seem very happy for us.

So value was right. It was just a panic attack. So far it looks that way. Uh, but Dr. Greenberg’s still gonna gonna look at these results himself and make his own determination. Uh, but if it was a panic attack, we can give you the names of people who.

So I heard you’re sleeping in my daughter’s bed. Yeah, I have, uh, Chanel’s old room at the apartment. Wish she was still there. Uh, I don’t think she does. I have a lot of bad memories there for her. Hmm. Probably, right? I was just thinking, um, maybe you can do something else from me when you’re finished with that report.

Uh, and what would.

I know you know that Allie, Brooke Chanel’s heart, I mean last year was tough enough on her with that horrible Peterson woman attacking us, and now she’s worried about me, my health. You want me to call her and let her know that your e kg looked good? Actually, I want you to ask her on the date. Uh, the other thing about the thing about it now, yo, you too, you had sparks and they were real, remember?

Yes. And I also remember that you kind of put the kibosh on the whole thing really? Well, that just doesn’t sound like me. Well, anyway, you’re still attracted to her, right? Well, and so, you know, so my question is, well, are you keeping your distance from her because of Allie? That’s part of it. Yes. And uh, and I do like Chanel as a friend.

Well, maybe it could lead to something more than friendship. Something a lot more fun than friendship. Unless, is there someone else, you know, I’m gonna get these results to Dr. Greenberg and you can call us office some morning. Okay. Who is it? I, I, I heard you. I just chose not to answer. I’ll hound you till you tell me.

You know, I will.

This is my roommate, Wendy, but she’s seen Giant, the mirror. So you just gonna step back, seed her to him? Oh no, you’ve gotta fight back. But I don’t think you understand. She seems to really like him. Maybe she likes you more. Oh, doctor, remember faith hearts nail one fairy lady, I’m telling you. Tell her how you feel, or you may end up regretting that you didn’t for a very long time.

Okay. Trip. So what’s the story? Yeah, the story is that he’s sharing the rent on this place. Okay. That may be how the story started. No. How this chapter in this story started, but I saw you two in Hong Kong. He and Joey were like two stallions Pauling at the ground. Oh. So I was the prize mayor. How flattering.

And he never got over you. Yeah, you have a very vivid imagination. If you’re obtuse, good God. He’s a doctor. He doesn’t need roommates. He wanted to live here. He wanted to live with you. And I’ve seen the way you two are finishing each other’s sentences. It’s pretty obvious. You wanna Okay. You love living it with him.

We’re friends. Yeah. Well, I, I’ve seen the way he looks at you. I think just friends. It’s not his choice. Okay. Hong Kong, he and Joey were two stallions pawing the ground. That was classic male sibling rivalry. And you know, I played the game because I like the attention. Flirting. Then yeah, trip and I still play the same game, but still it’s holiday.

It’s, it’s not real. It’s, it’s just a cane. Not from where I’m sitting.

Okay. Um, well then let’s rewind, shall we? Uh, I am not seeing Jada. Is that clear enough? It is, it is. It is. Look, I, I’m sorry to push you like this, but it is my job and I understand it. I. Well, since we’re talking, there is something about the new policy that does bother me and that’s, um, well, hope and I, we were both involved while we were on the force.

At first when things started, she was my boss, and then later on I was hers. Um, but, uh, no one in the department, even though they knew about what was happening, ever said a word. Well, when the two of you were seeing each other, you were. You are equals, and that’s the difference. Look, great. I changed the rule for you, especially now with how things turned out with Nicole, but

my hands are tight. Right. Thank you. Okay. Take care, Monday. Yeah, thanks.

So given the new rolling, Ray and I can both lose our jobs, even if we so much just go to the movies together. Hmm. Interesting. I ask you about a great looking guy and all you can do is quote the departmental rule book and you never not say you’re not in. Why are we still talking about this? Because you’ve been defensive ever since I brought him up.

Look, even if I was interested, he just got off of a really bad divorce and my last relationship pretty much ended like the Hindenburg. So neither one of us is ready to jump into that pool anytime soon. Are you sure he feels that way? Look, it’s bad idea no matter how you slice it. When I was with Eric, I was practically stalked by his jealous ex-wife.

Ugh. I hated her. And then did I mention race divorce? Well, he divorced his wife because she was growing her ex-husband. Oh, and did I mention that his ex-wife was Nicole and the ex-husband that she was screwing was Eric, my ex. So I’m sorry, but I don’t think that both of us being unemployed or having a mutual hatred for Nicole Walker is a good basis for a romantic relationship.

So, so can we just drop this and just go get some damn dinner?

So this geyser you’re talking about has been building up for a while. That’s right. Mm-hmm. And yet, just the other day, you were saying how Gabby was the only woman for you. Oh, sorry. District attorney Trask. Maybe that was indiscreet. And I know how you treasure discretion, Ms. Hernandez, or whatever your name is.

Now, you know, Nicole, you’re right. Being confused like this. I, I did say those things about Gabby, but, well, it’s just now occurring to me that, uh, I was feeling reminiscent for feelings that Gabby and I once had for each other once upon a time. Sadly, or I don’t know, maybe. Luckily that image was shattered last night.

See, shortly after you left, Gabby got cold feet. She was afraid we were gonna get caught, and

turns out she values those damn shares more than she does me.

So the scales fell off your eyes and you realized you’d be happier with a. Old fashioned girl like Melinda here, DIR like, actually I see our relationship is anything but dir. Stefan, did I tell you I had a dream about you last night?

You know, it just occurred to me that I promised Melinda I would show her. Stamp collection in my room right next to your etchings. So if you’ll excuse us, I cannot wait to show you my inverted dunman. Ooh. And it is inverted. Let me tell you.

Maybe she could lick it.

What? Gabby lied to me, practically daring me to contradict her, and of course I couldn’t without telling her that you. Your brother played you and now he’s playing me. You made me look like an idiot and I don’t like it. Ej not one damn bit. Take a breath. Take a breath. Look, we both know those two are going to find a way to hook up and we’ll catch them.

I promise you. We just need to be more clever about all this. What you need to do is go. Why did I ever get involved with you in the first place? I, I don’t want to humiliate Gabby and torpedo the deal. I want her, you don’t have Exxons in hell. Of getting her back. You remember your wedding where she found out that you not only didn’t tell her about the love of her life and that he was alive, that you actually tried to brainwash him into hating her, and there was something else as well.

Um, what was it? Oh, that’s right. You tried to kill him. I don’t think couples therapy is going to help her. Damir shares are the only thing that you could possibly salvage from that train wreck you call a marriage. You are wrong. I don’t give a damn about those shares, but that’s all you care about. So you stay the hell away from my marriage.

You make one move, I swear you’re gonna regret it.

Well, this is nice. Now I have a chance to trample over your personal boundaries and tell you how to live your life.

Oops. Sorry. Doesn’t look like you have time. Commissioner Hernandez over here. Don’t do this. Hey, well this is nice. You should join. Yeah, I was actually just picking up it to go. Yeah. Told you the commissioner probably has plans for tonight. He has to eat dinner somewhere. Right. Go get your food and eat with us.

Well, um, so, um, Jada was just telling me about those anti delian fraternization rules. Wow. That was a mouthful. But there are three of us. And come on, what could possibly happen with her sister watching this is the shy sister. Right. Well, thanks for the invite. I’ll be right back. I’m going to kill you. He seems like a Sagittarius.

Whatever you do, just don’t be too pushy. They hate that.

I hope you’ll think about what I said, and I don’t think you heard a word that I said because, and I say this with a love and affection. You were wrong. Meaning I didn’t agree with you. Meaning you are making a huge mistake. I remember when I met Chanel’s father, oh. I was immediately smitten. Oh, wow. But he was dating someone else and I, I almost walked away.

I decided, well, you can’t win the game if you don’t get on the field. So I made my move, Paulina, no. Shrinking by like you took action. It’s a damn good thing I did. I made that man very happy in our time together and Chanel’s here because as usual, well actually as always, I knew what was best for everyone.

So ignore my advice at your own peril.

Now, can I ask you a question? Mm-hmm. Do you ever take any advice, advice from someone who not only cares about you, but actually has some experience in the matter at hand? Mm. I walked right in on that one, didn’t I? Oh, tell a what’s going on. And I understand you don’t want him to worry, but he not only loves you, he, he knows you.

I know you’re keeping something. And he’ll probably imagine something much worse. Someone’s actually happening. And if this is anxiety related, then keeping a secret is very, very stressful. And think about it, you know, how would you feel if a was keeping someone like this from you? And another thing like, hell no, no, I, I don’t need another thing.

Oh, it’s. It’s irritating to get a lecture from a 12 year old, but it’s infuriating if he’s right. Well, I wasn’t lecturing, I was just, you know, thinking out loud. Why can’t I get dressed and go while you have some more thinking out loud to do? No, you are free to get dressed and go. You’re a good doctor and you are a good friend.

You know, I still don’t understand why you’re so interested in me and Tripp, unless this was a diversionary tactic. So we’d stop talking about Stephen. There’s nothing to say about Stephan.

Sorry, I gotta deal with this. Hey honey, come home. You’re here too because I, uh, live here and we’re just one big happy family, right Gabby? Hi Lee. I gotta go delay. I was hoping for a cozy night at home. I just got a text from David Stack and he wants to talk about the launch at this hour. Hmm. That sound very considerate.

Would you like me to go with you? It’s the bistro, right? Yeah, but stay I’ll, I’ll handle it, but I’m the one who set up the deal. Yeah. And I appreciate it, but sometimes, uh, one-on-one is better.

Well, I was uh, gonna order in. So what do you feel like on a one-on-one? Huh? Sorry. Um, I just remembered there’s something I gotta do. Don’t wait up.

Oh, you better get yourself a drink cuz you’re not gonna believe when I’m about to tell you that. Lee called Stephan and the district attorney in bed together last night. Trust me, I’ve. But there’s more. Ugh. What I don’t understand is how in the hell he talked, trust pretending to be his lover. Are you sure they’re pretending?

What? Well, about a half hour ago, Melinda just paid a little visit and then they sat on the couch pretending to be a couple of foreign teenagers, and then pretended to get carried away and went upstairs to his room where? Right about now they’re pretending away.

Well, that was fun. But I still don’t get it. Uh, EJ is gonna tell Nicole about last night. I don’t get why we had to do encore performance for her benefit. Okay. You’re right. That was a little more of a prologue, but you know how much I appreciate your help and I will never forget what you’ve done. Okay.

Cut to the chase. What do you want now? I did not ask you here to stick it to Nicole. Melinda actually needs you to be my decoy.

Well, would you look at that? You guys ordered the same thing. Wow. Great ones. Think I like. Yes, Talia. It is just momentous that RA and I both like hamburgers. God, maybe we both like water, right? Oh my God. I just realized I have to call an old colleague tonight. She’s on the East coast and I wanna catch her before she goes to bed.

I’m gonna take this with me. Enjoy your burgers.

Finally, it must be famished. Uh, yeah. It was covered for Dr. Greenberg. Right. Well, there’s still some chili in the fridge. You can nuke it. Are you leaving? Yeah. Johnny said something about hanging out with friends in the square. A date? No, I just thought I could catch up with him. Hang out. Okay. Well have fun.

Alright. Enjoy the chili. Hey Wendy. Wait. Uh oh. Is something wrong? Yeah. Uh, no. Um, well, Won’t be if I just say this, cuz if I don’t say this now, I might not ever will say what I, uh, have feelings for you.

Oh, hey. Oh. Mm-hmm. I stopped by the office earlier, but I, I guess I just missed you. Oh, well. I wasn’t there. I lied to you before. Okay. I wasn’t at the office. I was in the hospital.

Oh, Stephan. Oh, baby. Mm yes. Uh mm. Ah. Ooh. Ah, yes.

It seems like the time is

blind ambition.

Update written by Joseph

Brady and Rachel are at the Brady Pub. Rachel talks about what dessert she wants while Brady brings up how Rachel stole his phone and called an uber to see Kristen in prison, noting that she scared him half to death. Rachel suggests celebrating that she is okay. Brady tells her that he actually has some really great news to share with her. Brady reminds her of when he told her that Marlena went to Heaven. Brady reveals that it tusn out that she didn’t.

Eric informs Sloan that his mother is alive. Sloan doesn’t believe him and asks if he’s been drinking but Eric assures he’s sober and saw Marlena with his own eyes. Sloan is shocked and asks how this is even possible. Eric admits he’s not sure and the details are fuzzy. Eric says he’s blown away. Sloan asks if Marlena is okay and not hurt. Eric confirms she is and just needs to rest after being through a lot.

John checks on Marlena as she reads her book while taking a bubble bath and then they kiss.

Leo goes to he and Gwen’s room at the Salem Inn and walks in on Gwen in bed with Alex. Gwen questions him not knocking while Leo argues that she could’ve put the do not disturb sign on the door. Gwen thought he was working. Leo says he was which is why he needs to talk to her now, because it’s about Xander.

Chanel is in the town square, making a doctor’s appointment on the phone. Xander walks by and overhears her, so he asks if everything is alright. Chanel explains that the appointment is not for her, but for her mother who thought she was having a heart attack yesterday. Xander says he hopes Paulina is alright. Chanel says she is and it turned out to just be a panic attack, but she’s afraid about Paulina not getting her stress levels down. Xander asks why her stress levels are up. Chanel informs him that it’s because of Sloan’s vendetta against them and says that Sloan has worked Paulina up in to a frenzy.

Paulina goes to Sloan’s apartment and knocks on the door, yelling for her to open up the damn door. Sloan answers and asks what the hell she wants. Paulina shows her the note found in her office with pasted letters that reads “This Isn’t Over Bitch”

Xander asks Chanel why Sloan hasn’t been arrested if she ransacked Paulina’s office. Chanel explains that they brought her for questioning but she denied it and there’s no evidence. Xander asks why Chanel is so sure that Sloan did it. Chanel brings up that it happened right after their lawyer got Sloan’s civil case dismissed and then Sloan swore revenge on them. Chanel adds that the police warned Sloan that they would be keeping an eye on her. Xander encourages that maybe she’ll back off and it will finally be over. Chanel says she hopes so.

Paulina tells Sloan that she is done with making threats. Sloan mocks Paulina as if she was delivering the note to her. Paulina argues that Sloan left the note for her, not the other way around. Paulina warns that if Sloan doesn’t drop her vicious vendetta against her and Chanel, she will ruin her.

Rachel questions what Brady means by saying Marlena didn’t go to Heaven. Brady informs her that Marlena is alive and it turns out that she never really died. Chloe walks in and asks if she heard that right that Marlena is alive.

Marlena and John kiss until he falls in to the bathtub with her with his clothes on and they laugh.

Paulina continues to accuse Sloan of trashing her office and leaving her the note. Eric asks what makes her so sure it was Sloan. Paulina calls it obvious. Sloan points out that she has no evidence and denies doing either thing. Eric informs Paulina that he believes Sloan. Paulina calls him a bigger fool than she thought then. Paulina remarks that Eric’s mother would be rolling over in her grave if she heard him defending Sloan. Eric responds that she actually wouldn’t be rolling over in her grave. Paulina argues that she’s known Marlena longer. Eric then clarifies that Marlena is alive.

Marlena and John continue kissing in the bathtub.

Xander tells Chanel that Paulina should be glad that she has her looking out for her. Chanel thanks him for saying that. Xander brings up that Paulina was his mother in law once for about 24 hours. Chanel doesn’t recall there being any love lost between them. Xander admits it wasn’t his finest hour and apologizes for whatever he put her through. Chanel calls it no big deal and acknowledges that he was still in love with Sarah. Chanel tells Xander that she’s sorry that didn’t work out. Xander tells her the same about her and Johnny, then more recently her and Allie. Xander says he was rooting for them and calls them Salem’s favorite bisexuals which makes Chanel laugh. Xander comments that they seemed very happy and in love, so he was surprised when Allie left town so quickly. Chanel reveals that was right after Allie slept with Alex Kiriakis, which shocks Xander.

Gwen and Alex get out of bed and get dressed. Gwen apologizes to Alex and hopes he’s not upset. Alex says he has to get to work anyway. Leo tells Alex not to leave on his account but Alex says that’s exactly what he’s doing. Leo takes a photo of Alex, so he warns him to keep it out of his gossip column. Leo says he will keep it in his private collection while Gwen adds that she’ll make sure the photo never sees the light of day. Gwen says she’ll see Alex later as he kisses her goodbye and then exits. Leo excitedly asks Gwen if she and Alex are back in the saddle. Gwen asks what Leo had to tell her about Xander. Leo sits with her and says it’s harsh news so he won’t enjoy this. Leo then informs Gwen that he thinks Xander is hooking up with Chloe.

Chloe excitedly hugs Brady and says Marlena being alive is the most exciting news. Brady says he was just telling Rachel how much they have to celebrate. Chloe says he must be so relieved along with John, Eric, and Belle. Chloe hugs Brady again and says she’s so happy for him and his family. Brady agrees with celebrating and has Chloe join their table but Rachel says over her dead body.

Gwen questions Leo about Xander and Chloe. Leo says he saw them outside the Pub together earlier which Gwen mocks. Leo admits he didn’t catch them in bed together but says it looked pretty intimate to him. Leo then reveals the photo he took of Xander and Chloe hugging.

Brady tells Rachel that she will have to share but Chloe says it’s fine. Chloe suggests they each get their own ice cream sundae. Brady says that sounds perfect but Rachel says it doesn’t to her. Rachel declares that she doesn’t mind sharing with Brady, but it’s Chloe that she doesn’t want to share with.

Xander questions Chanel about Alex being the reason she and Allie broke up. Chanel admits she forgot Alex was Xander’s cousin and apologizes. Xander says he should be apologizing and calls Alex a narcissistic man whore who can’t keep his hands off other people’s people. Xander continues to complain about Alex. Chanel says she had no idea he hated Alex so much. Xander asks what’s not to hate and remarks that Alex has only been back in town for a couple months and his conquests already outnumber his. Chanel guesses that’s not counting her. Xander asks if she’s serious. Chanel admits she was curious and that Alex definitely lives up to the hype. Xander says she’s not helping, so she apologizes. Chanel asks why Xander is taking this personal. Xander responds that it his personal because Alex’s latest conquest is Gwen. Xander complains that Alex moved in on Gwen when she was at her most vulnerable and he just loves rubbing it in his face at every opportunity. Alex then walks by and says another opportunity has presented itself. Xander stands up and warns Alex to be careful unless he wants a matching black eye.

John and Marlena lay in bed together. Marlena is on the phone with her daughter Carrie and says it’s so good to talk to her. Marlena tells her to tell Austin how sorry they are about Kate and that she’ll call him in a few days. Marlena says she loves her and hangs up. Marlena tells John how good it was to hear Carrie’s voice. John knows she’s thinking about Kate now. Marlena says Kayla too and she hopes this business with Thomas Banks pans out. John says to let him worry about that as he has no idea that Hope and Steve will find Kayla. Marlena says it’s so good to be home, almost like this whole thing never happened as it’s so hard to believe all of it. Marlena just wishes that Belle and Eric could sort out their issues. John acknowledges that they are still at each other’s throats. Marlena says they were getting along so well. John feels Eric’s just been in a bad way since thinking they lost Marlena along with ending things with Nicole. John hopes now that Marlena is back, things will turn around for Eric. Marlena hopes so too but wonders what caused this whole thing and if it’s about when Eric took a swing at Shawn. John explains that it was about the situation between Sloan and Paulina. John talks about Belle getting Sloan’s civil suit thrown out which Marlena argues is Belle’s job. John points out that Eric didn’t see it that way since he’s still in a relationship with Sloan. Marlena questions that still going on. John confirms that’s why Eric and Belle are on opposite sides, but now that the lawsuit is dead, he hopes they can move on.

Paulina is shocked to learn that Marlena is still alive and argues that maybe now Marlena can talk some sense in to Eric to get him away from Sloan. Sloan tells Paulina to get the hell out of her home. Paulina warns that she’s not done with her by a longshot and quotes the note in saying “This isn’t over, bitch”. Paulina then exits the apartment.

Alex tells Xander that what happens between he and Gwen is none of his business. Xander responds that he’s making it his business because he knows Alex is just going to hurt her, while he actually cares about her. Alex asks if that’s why he called Gwen his sloppy seconds. Xander calls Alex a serial bed hopper and argues that he’s not good enough for Gwen by a long shot, so he’s not going to just stand by and watch him take advantage of her. Alex brings up that he just left Gwen’s bed after making love to her for the third time today. Chanel intervenes and tells them to just stop it. Alex thanks her for being the voice of reason. Chanel says she doesn’t want to get caught in the middle of a fight in the town square but assures Alex that she is not on his side. Alex thought they were friends. Chanel questions if friends sleep with each other’s girlfriends behind their backs. Alex tells Chanel that he’s sincerely sorry for everything that happened with Allie and says she deserves better. Alex promises to do everything he can to repair their friendship but says this thing with Gwen is entirely different because he’s not breaking up any happy homes and she and Xander are not together. Alex argues that Xander doesn’t even want Gwen and just doesn’t want anyone else to have her. Xander says he just doesn’t want Alex to have her. Alex brings up that Xander already broke Gwen’s heart once and says that if he really cares about her, he needs to get out of her life and let her be happy with somebody else.

Gwen tells Leo that Chloe was probably just grateful that Xander pulled his hateful article about her. Leo knows she wants to believe that but he doesn’t think it looks like a platonic hug. Leo implies that Chloe and Xander will sleep together and that’s why Xander pulled his article. Leo tells Gwen to face the facts so she can heal and move on. Leo declares that Chloe will be Xander’s next conquest. Gwen argues that he is wrong because Chloe is not Xander’s type and Chloe only has eyes for Brady. Leo insists that Chloe and Brady won’t work out because Chloe called Brady’s daughter a monster. Leo states that Brady might not know she said it yet, but once you hate the offspring and the offspring hate you, the relationship is doomed.

Brady tells Rachel that’s enough and reminds her about Kristen’s letter, telling her to be nice to Chloe and to give her a chance. Rachel argues that Kristen only wrote that letter because Brady made her. Brady questions Kristen telling her that. Rachel responds that she didn’t, but he just did. Chloe tells Rachel that she understands why she wants her parents to live together. Chloe says that was all she wanted when she was Rachel’s age. Chloe encourages that her parents do love her as well as her grandparents, uncles, cousins, and her too. Rachel asks if Chloe is crossing her fingers behind her back. Chloe shows that she’s definitely not. Chloe reminds Rachel that they used to be really close at one point and she wants that for them again. Chloe reveals that she got her a peace offering of stickers. Rachel responds that she grew out of stickers and tosses them aside. Rachel screams that she doesn’t take bribes and accuses Chloe of lying about loving her. Rachel shouts that Chloe hates her as much as she hates Chloe. Chloe then angrily gives in and admits that she does hate her.

Gwen doesn’t think it’s true that a relationship can’t work out because of the offspring. Gwen relates to hating her mother’s boyfriends. Gwen decides she’s going to get something to eat and then go to the office. Leo says he will stay here and work on his story about Xander and Chloe’s grand romance. Gwen tells him not to waste his time because she’s not printing that story. Leo argues that it just means that Gwen’s plan is working as Xander is so jealous of her and Alex, that he’s throwing himself at Chloe to make her jealous. Gwen says she’s being a good friend to him because if she prints that, Xander will fire him. Leo argues that Xander made a unilateral decision to not print his last article, so she can make a unilateral decision to print this one since it is her family paper after all. Gwen questions why he’s so determined to run this. Leo complains that he has nothing else and his deadline is in two hours. Gwen feels he’s reaching for a story that isn’t there and she doesn’t want Chloe to sue her. Gwen tells Leo to just think of something else to write. Gwen remarks that in Salem, people come back from the dead and get possessed by the Devil, so she’s sure he’ll think of something. Gwen then exits the room.

Chloe apologizes to Rachel and says she never meant to say that. Rachel says it’s too late, she already did. Brady tells Rachel they are going home. Rachel wants to see Marlena anyway. Chloe tries to apologize to Brady. Brady says it’s okay and they’ll talk about it later as he takes Rachel and leaves the Pub.

Sloan complains to Eric about Paulina harassing her in her own home. Sloan says she should call the cops on her but it wouldn’t do any good since Rafe and Jada have made it pretty clear they are on team Paulina. Sloan repeats to Eric that she did not send the letter to Paulina. Eric points out that he just defended her. Sloan feels that he’s still wondering if she did it but Eric says that her saying she didn’t do it is enough for him. Eric then points out that Sloan did say she wants to take out revenge against Chanel and Paulina. Sloan assures that she does, but it won’t be some anonymous letter with cutout letters from a magazine. Sloan declares that when she comes for them, they will damn well know it’s her.

Chanel tells Xander and Alex to break it up. Chanel can’t believe she’s saying this but they don’t get to decide who Gwen wants to be with as that is up to her. Paulina approaches and questions what is going on here. Alex says he was just leaving and walks away. Xander says the same and tells Paulina to take care as he walks off. Paulina questions what that was all about. Chanel calls it just men being men and reminding her how lucky she is that she has other options. Chanel asks how Paulina is feeling. Paulina admits she had a little trouble sleeping after what she found in her office and shows Chanel the note with pasted on letters. Chanel guesses it was Sloan. Paulina calls her pathetic and predictable. Paulina mentions that she just came back from confronting Sloan, who denied it. Chanel worries that she shouldn’t be confronting anybody until she has a clean bill of health. Chanel informs Paulina that she just scheduled her a doctor’s appointment at 3:30 because it’s important. Paulina argues that she can’t let the note go unanswered and insists she’s fine, feeling healthy and strong. Chanel encourages that the appointment will be quick and easy then or else she’ll have her own panic attacks from worrying about her. Paulina reluctantly agrees to go then and walks away. Chanel keeps hold of the note and walks off.

John and Marlena have strawberries and cream in bed until John accidentally spills the bowl of whipped cream. Marlena says she had enough anyway but not enough of him as they kiss.

Brady brings Rachel home. Rachel says she wants to see Marlena. Brady says she will see her later but for now, she’s going to her room. Rachel questions Brady punishing her when Chloe is the one who said she hates her. Brady assures that Chloe didn’t mean it but Rachel says she did and asks why he’s not mad at her.

Xander goes to the Brady Pub and finds Chloe drinking at the bar. Xander asks if she’s alright as she looks like she lost her best friend. Chloe responds that she just did. Xander thought things were looking up for her and Brady since he killed Leo’s story. Chloe informs him that Brady didn’t need to read about her badmouthing his daughter because she told Rachel that she hated her right in front of him. Xander says he’s so sorry. Chloe complains that Rachel was being so awful to her but she can’t believe those words just flew out of her mouth and now there’s nothing she can do to take them back. Alex relates to having a terrible day as well since his cousin is still screwing his ex and taking every chance to rub his face in it. Chloe says it sounds like he could use a drink too and invites him to sit with her. Xander asks if she’s sure as he doesn’t want to impose but Chloe says she could use the company. Xander knows she’s loved Brady since she was a teenager so she can’t let this terror come between them. Chloe cries that she doesn’t know how Brady could forgive her after what she said. Chloe thinks it might be over and questions how it could not be. Xander hugs Chloe and tells her it’s going to be okay as she cries. Gwen then enters the Pub and sees them hugging.

Leo wonders what the hell to put in his column. Chanel then shows up at the door. Leo hopes she brought him some treats from the bakery. Chanel responds that she has a scoop for him and hands him the note.

Eric asks if Sloan has any idea who is targeting Paulina if not her. Sloan responds that a woman like Paulina makes enemies for breakfast and if the police would just do their job. Sloan then picks up her laptop and declares she should just file a restraining order herself. Eric notices that when Sloan picked up her laptop, underneath it was a stack of magazines with a pair of scissors.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So Sprinkles or chocolate fudge. What do you think, daddy? What do I think? I think I probably shouldn’t be rewarding you with a treat right now given that you stole my phone and then you skipped school and then we took an Uber to Statesville. You know you scared your dad half to death. But don’t you wanna celebrate that?

I’m okay. Yes, I wanna, I’m very, very happy that you’re okay, sweetie, but I have some really great news to share with you. Actually. What is it? Do you remember? When I told you that, uh, grandma Marano went to heaven, well, it turns out she didn’t go to heaven. After all your mother’s alive,

have you been drinking? No. I’m, I’m totally sober. I saw it with my very own eyes. My God. I mean, how is this even possible? I’m not sure. I mean, the detail’s a little fuzzy, and right now I’m a little blown away. But I mean, Abby does not even begin to describe how I’m feeling, and she’s okay. She wasn’t hurt or anything?

No, she, she’s okay. I mean, she’s been through a lot. She just, she just needs some rest in tlc. But my stepdad, John, he’ll make sure she gets plenty of that. So how’s your spa day? It is divine. Thank you so much in the book. It’s great. Margaret Atwood my favorite. You know that. I do know that. And I also know you have been waiting three months to finish that book.

Well worth the wait. Nice. Now I want you to know. I been leading three months to do this.

Oh my God, Anita. Yeah. Whoopsy yard knocking. Oh, don’t get snarky with me. You could have put the do not disturb sign on the door. I thought you were working. I was. Which is what I need to talk to you about, but no. Yes. Now it’s about Sander.

Is there any way Dr. Greenberg can squeeze us in today? A cancellation at three 30. Oh, perfect. We’ll take it. Thank you. Thank you so much. Right. See you then. Hi. Hey. Um, sorry I couldn’t help but overhearing Dr. Greenberg’s, a friend of Sarah’s. She’s a cardiologist if my memory serves, she is. Yeah. Is everything okay?

It, the appointment isn’t for me, it’s for my mother. She thought she was having a heart attack yesterday. Oh God. Oh, she’s all right. Yeah, she is. Thankfully. Um, it turned out to just be a panic attack. I’m afraid that if mama doesn’t get her stress levels down, she’s gonna stroke out or so. And she’s stressing it because because of that horrible Sloan Peterson and her vendetta against us, that woman has worked.

Mama up into a frenzy. Sloane Peterson. Open up this damn door. Who’s that Paul Price. I know that bellowing anywhere.

What the hell is it that you want?

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

Sorry, I don’t understand. If this, uh, Sloan, Peterson person did ransack your mother’s office, then why haven’t the. Arrest. Well, they brought her in for questioning and of course she totally denied it and there’s no evidence against her, so, so if there’s no evidence, why you so sure she did it? Well, let’s see.

It happened right after our lawyer got Sloan civil case dismissed, and then Sloan swore revenge on my mom and me. Oh, I see. Yep. And then the. They told her that uh, they’d be keeping an eye on her and that she’d be disbarred if she did anything else destructive. Last something, Elise, you know, maybe she’ll back off now and this will finally be over.

Oh God. How I hope so. This isn’t over, bitch. You are right. This is not because you are done with making these damn threats. Do you hear me? Do you understand me? Not that you deserve it, but I’m gonna offer you a little lawyerly advice free of charge. Usually when people deliver stuff like this, it’s uh, anonymously.

You’d have been better just slipping it under my door or putting it in the mail. So if you insist on doing something like this in person, just make sure there’s not a witness around. What are you rambling on about? You know, damn well it was you who left me this little note, not the other way around. And I’m here to tell you that if you can tell you this vision’s vendetta against me and my daughter, I will ruin you.

What are you telling me, dad? What do you mean Grandma didn’t go to heaven? Because she’s, she’s alive, honey. Cuz it turns out your, your grandma Marlena. She never, she never really died. Oh my God. Brady did I hear that? Did you see that Marlena’s alive?

I felt this was meant to be a relaxing spa day. Well, it’s included in the couple’s package, but if just rather read your book. Oh no, not on your life. Ah,

Oh.

Excuse me, but I didn’t invite you in just like I didn’t invite you into my office, but you still sneaked your way in there to trash to the place and leave me. This makes you so sure that was from Sloan. Isn’t it obvious Lord, even a blind man can see a stuff like this as a grimy little fingerprints all over it.

Do you even have one shred of evidence? Of course not. Just like you have zero evidence that I’m the one who vandalized your office because I didn’t do either one of those things. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I got a bridge in Brooklyn. I’d like to sell you also Obama, just to point out. But, um, there’s a column missing between over and Bitch, you see.

And I would just never make such a punctuation trap. Oh god sake. Ms. Price. Sloan informed me that she wasn’t anywhere near your office when it was broken into it, and I believe her. Oh, really? Well then you are a bigger fool than I thought. And you know, but let me tell you, Eric Grady, Ooh, your mother would be rolling over how grave she could hear how you defending this woman, not to mention whatever else had you doing with her.

Actually, she, she wouldn’t be rolling over in her grave. What I’ve known Marlan since before. You were a twinkle in your father’s eye, and I assure you she would not approve of this for one second. No. No. You don’t understand. She wouldn’t be rolling over in her grave because she’s not in her grief. She’s alive.

My gosh, are you hungry? Sorry, I don’t know the answer to this one, but I’m learning heart speeding check and all the other important parts are working just fine. Oh, sorry. I’m not sorry at all. Okay, well then if you’re not sorry. I’m not sorry either.

Your mother should be glad that she has you looking out for her. I mean, I do hope she’ll be all right. Thanks. It’s nice of you to say, well, Paulina was my mother-in-law. Yeah. For about 24 hours. But during that 24 hours, I don’t recall any love loss between the two. Or the two of us for that night, not mine.

Finest hour. Right. Apologize again for whatever I put you through. Mm. It was no big deal. And for you, well, you were still in love with Sarah. Mm. I’m sorry. Things didn’t work out. Likewise for you enjoying tomorrow and more recently, his twin sister. You know, I was rooting for you guys. Salem’s favorite bisexuals.

I didn’t know there wasn’t contest. I just mean that, I don’t know. You guys seem very happy, very much in love. I’m surprised to hear that she left Ham so suddenly. Yep. Right after she slept with Alex, Kiki.

Oh God. I’m sorry. I hope you’re not upset. No, no. I needed to get to work anyway. Please don’t leave on my. That’s exactly what I’m doing. Neil, do you wanna just take a picture? It will last longer. You know you have a point, dude. I swear to God if that ends up on any little gossip columns, Leo, I swear to God, I would never think about sharing this gym with the world.

No. That is from my private collection. You know what? In fact, I am going to fast track this guy right to the top of the heap. Yeah, I will make sure that that photo never, ever sees the light of day. Okay, we’ll see you soon. Definitely.

So you and Alex are back in the proverbial saddle. Okay. Look, focus. Mattie, you said you had something to tell me about Zander. Oh yes, right. Gwe Gwe. Gwe quick. Oh, sometimes besties have to deliver harsh news. And as much as I love gossip, I also love you. So I will not enjoy imparting this time. How about skipping the theatrics and telling me fine.

Ugh. I think Xander’s hooking up with Chloe Lane.

Oh my God, for Brady. This is the most amazing news I know. I know. I was just telling her that we, we have so much to celebrate. Oh, he sure do. Oh my. You must be so relieved. And your dad, and your brother, and your sister. I’m just so happy for you and your family. Thanks, Chloe. Thanks. We do. We have a lot to celebrate.

Please sit. You know what we need to do? We need to get all the toppings. All the toppings, like chocolate chips, strawberries, fudge, the whole thing. We’ll get free scoops three. How’s that sound over my dead body?

Zander and Chloe. Yep. Saw them together earlier. Defined together. They’re outside the Brady Pub. Oh yes, the Brady Pub. Salem’s most romantic spot. Tell me where they’re sitting there, ogling each other while taking in the sweet aroma of chowder and Jeep beer. Okay, so I didn’t catch them in bed together, but it looked pretty intimate to me.

It’s fine. Intimate? No, they were, oh God, no. I don’t wanna see a demonstration. Demonstration. I took a photo.

Rachel, what have I told you about sharing? Hm. You can’t finish three scoops by yourself anyway. It’s fine. It fine. Brady? Uh, listen, Rachel, if I remember correctly, you don’t like strawberries on your sundaes and sharing ice cream can be kind of annoying. Am I right? So how about we order three sundaes, one for each of us?

How does that sound? See, that sounds perfect, right? It doesn’t to me. I’ve got this for you on six. I don’t mind sharing with daddy. It’s you I don’t wanna share with,

so it was my cousin Alex. He was the reason you and Ali broke up. Oh right. I forgot. He’s your cousin. I keep on forgetting that everyone in this town is related. Sorry. No, you apologize. And I should be saying sorry to you for my lecturers kin info, a narcissistic manhole. He can’t keep his hands off other people’s people.

He’s such a preening, homering son of, whoa, whoa. I had no idea you hated him so much. Well’s not to hate. He’s only been back in Salem a few months and his conquest already outnumbered mine, at least the ones I know about. Probably not counting me. You’re not serious. I was curious and he definitely lives up to the hype, not helping.

Sorry, but you seem to be taking this personally. Why? Because of his personal, his latest conquest is Gwen. Oh, Gwen Riz, whatever your you’re, you’re at. Yeah. Gwen Riz check. Yeah. Alex moved on on her when she was at her most vulnerable and now God, he just loves rubbing in my face at every opportunity. And what do you know?

Another opportunity presents itself. Be careful of how you mate. Plus you want me to give you a match in black eye.

Carrie, so good to talk to you, honey, please. Please tell Austin how, sir, I’m sorry. We are back.

And you and I I will, um, I’ll give him, call myself in a few days. Okay. I love you too. Hi, sweet.

Wow. So good to hear Carrie’s voice. Yeah, I. But now you’re thinking about Kate, aren’t you? And Kayla too. I hope this whole business with banks pan out. You just let me worry about that for both of us. Okay. Hope and Steve will find her. No doubt in my mind. I hope you’re right. Oh, it is. Good to be home. Hmm.

It’s almost like this whole thing never even happened. You know? It’s, it’s so hard to believe all of it. I just wish that Bell and Eric could straighten out their issues. Yeah. They’re still at each other’s throats. It’s the shame because they were getting along so well, you know, but Eric, he’s, he’s been in a bad way ever.

We lost you and, and since he and Nicole ended things. But you know what? I think now that you’re back, I’m hoping things will turn around for him. I hope so too. But what, what caused this whole thing I, this, is this about when Eric took a swing at Sean? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This, this whole thing is about the situation between Sloan, Peterson and Paul.

When the criminal trial against Paul and Chanel fell apart, Sloan filed a civil suit, bell stepped in and got the whole thing dismissed. That’s Bell’s job. Well, yeah, but Eric didn’t see it that way though. And since Eric is still in a relationship with Sloan, what? Wait, wait. That’s still going on still, which is why he and Bill are on opposite sides.

But now the lawsuit’s dead, so I’m hoping maybe the two of them can just move on. Mar is Alive. Oh my, oh my. Yet again. Someone gets a reprieve from death in the great city of Salem. Praise the Lord. Oh, well now maybe she can talk some sense into you and get you away from this. Viper says, the woman with a venomous tongue, look, as much as I enjoy being insulted in my home, get the hell out gladly.

But I’m not done with you, Ms. Th not by a long shot. And to quote my least favorite person, this isn’t over.

Since you’re not backing down, I have to assume that you do want me to dot your other eye for you. For what? What happens between Gwen and me is none of your damn business. I’m making it my business, Alex. Cause I know you’re just gonna hurt her. And I actually care about her. Is that why you called her your sloppy seconds?

The last time I saw you? I mean, that was very respectful. Oh, what do you know? By respecting women, you’re a serial bed hop, unlike you. Look, you’re not good enough for Gwen. Not by a long shot. I’m, I’m not gonna stand by while you take advantage of it. Oh, she didn’t seem very taken advantage of just now as I left her bed after making love to her for the third time today.

That’s Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, guys, let’s not do this, okay? Just stop it, okay? Please just stop. Thank you. Chanel being the voice of a reason. Yeah. I just don’t wanna be caught in the middle of some stupid fight in the middle of the square. But don’t you for one second, think that I am on your side. Alex Riak is because I am not.

It’s all we Were friends. Friends. Do friends sleep with each other’s girlfriends behind their backs. Okay. Chanel, and as I told you, I’m sincerely sorry for everything that happened with I, I really am. And you don’t deserve that. Yeah. You deserve better. Yeah. You damn right. I. And I promise you, I’ll do everything in my power to repair our friendship, but this whole thing with Gwen is completely different.

I’m not breaking up any happy homes. Her and Zander aren’t together. This guy doesn’t even water. He just doesn’t want anybody else to have her. No, I don’t want you to have her. It’s a big difference. Look, you already broke. The girl’s heart wants cause. Hmm. So if you really care about her the way you say you do, you need to get out of her life and you need to let her be happy with somebody else.

I don’t see where the big deal is. Chloe was probably just grateful that Zander pulled that hurtful article you wrote about, oh, honey, I know that’s what you want to believe, but does that look like a platonic hug to you? Yes. Look at that body language. Well, if they haven’t slept together yet, they have certainly rounded third base.

And haven’t you wondered why Xander pulled an article that was guaranteed click bait? Probably because it was click bait 2020. I know that the truth hurts, but you have to face the facts so you can heal and move on. Ah, for sake. And the facts are that Xander’s next conquest is that boring songbird with the big eyes.

No, you are wrong. She is not Xander’s next conquest because A, she’s not his type, and B, her big eyes are only for Brady Black. Everybody knows that. Oh, come on. You don’t see those two working out. She called his kid a monster. And yes, Xander pulled the article. So maybe Brady doesn’t know that she said that yet, but trust me on this from my own vast life experience, once you hate the offspring and the offspring hate you, the relationship is.

Rachel, that’s enough. Do you remember mommy’s letter? Do you remember? You’re supposed to be nice to Chloe and you’re supposed to give her a chance. Mommy only wrote that letter cuz you made her, she told you no, but you just did.

Listen, Rachel, I, I understand why you want your mommy and daddy to live together. When I was your age, all I wanted was to have a mommy and daddy who lived together and loved me with all their hearts. But you do have a mommy and daddy who love you so, so much, and you’re really lucky cuz you have other people who love you.

You have your, your grandparents, your aunt, your uncles, your cousins, and me. You are you crossing your fingers behind your back. No, definitely not Now. Listen’s, sweetheart. We used to be really close at one point, and I want that for us again. In fact, I. I kind of got you a little something. Let’s call it a peace offering

Stickers. Yeah. To add your collection. I remember how proud of it you. I was, and then I grew out of it.

Rachel. Rachel, I don’t take Rachel Black. You lie. You don’t love me. You hate me as much as I hate you. Fine. You’re right. I do hate you.

I don’t think that that’s true, Mattie, that if the offspring and the partner hates each other that it can’t work out. I mean, My mother didn’t give a damn about all the blokes that she slept with that I hated. And believe me, I hated every single one of them. Did she ever marry any of them and live happily ever after?

No, but not for a lack of trying. See, you just proved my point. Yeah. Pretty sure that that was all on my mum though. Anyway, look, it’s not worth arguing over. I’m gonna. I’m gonna get something to eat. I’m gonna go to the office. All right? I will stay put and work on my story about Xander and Chloe’s Grand Romance.

You’re gonna be wasting your time. I’m not printing that story, Mattie. Oh, come on, Gwenny. Don’t be bitter. This just means that your plan is working. Xander is so jealous of you and Alex that he’s throwing himself at Chloe to make you jealous. I am not miss her. I am being a good friend to you because if you print that, I’m just gonna fire you.

Not if my other boss overrules. He made a unilateral decision to kill my last column. You can make a unilateral decision to run this one. I mean, it is your family paper after all. Why are you so determined to run this? Because I have nothing else. My deadline is in a few hours. Too bad. Winnie. Come on. You are reaching for a story when there isn’t one.

Just I don’t want Chloe Lane suing me. Right. So just think of something else to write. Like what? Oh my God, this is Salem. Okay. People come back from the dead. They get possessed from the devil. Come back as twins. I’m sure you’ll think of something.

Rachel, I, I am so sorry. I never meant to say that too late. You already did, Rachel. We are, uh, we’re gonna go home. Okay. We’ll, we’ll do Sundays another time to grab your bag. Bye. Honestly, grandma my way, Brady, I can’t tell you. I’m sorry. I am. That’s okay. We’ll talk about it later. Let’s.

Can you believe that woman harassing me in my own house? I mean, I should call the cops on her. That’s an option. Yeah. Well, it wouldn’t do any good. Commissioner Hernandez and Detective Hunter have made it pretty clear that they are Team Paul. I mean, support the murderous daughter and the bribe passing mother, you know, and let the victim just be victimized even more.

God, I mean, that’s obviously their mo. And you know what, before you say anything else, I did not send that letter. I just defended you, didn’t I? And I’m very grateful for that. But I saw the look in your face when you read the letter. Even right now, you’re wondering if it was. Aren’t you? No, that’s not fair.

You said you didn’t have anything to do with trashing Paul in his office. That’s enough for me. But, but you did say that you want to take revenge out on her and Chanel? Absolutely I do, and I will trust me, but when I do, it’s not gonna be from some passive aggressive, anonymous little note with letters cut out of a.

When I comfort them feel damned well, no, it’s me.

I’m freaking it up guys. Now I mean it, and I cannot believe I am saying this in 2023, but you don’t get to decide who Gwen wants to be with. That is totally up to her. My point exactly. Alex, shut up. What the hell is going on here? You, you get your grubby little hands off my baby girl. I was, no, my hands were nowhere nearer.

I was just leaving. Me too. Take care, Ms. Price.

What was that all about? Just men being men and reminding me how lucky I am to have other options. But anyway, nevermind that. Um, how are you feeling? You were asleep. What? I left for work this morning and I, I didn’t wanna disturb. Well, I did have a little trouble sleeping, uh, you know, when I came back from my office yesterday and found this

God, Sloane. She’s as pathetic. She is predictable. Oh, I just came from confronting that ambulance chasing fraud, and of course she denied it. But mommy, I know she shouldn’t be confronting anybody. Excuse me. At least not until you have a clean bill of health. And I was going to call you because I just got off the phone and I scheduled an appointment for you with Dr.

Greenberg at University Hospital at three 30. Three 30. I can’t. You can and you will. This is important. Mama. What? So is this. I can’t let that go unanswered. It won’t. I’ll handle it. Chino Chin. I am fine. Really? Really? No. I was having some problems yesterday, but today I’m feeling healthy and strong. Okay, then your appointment should be quick and easy.

Come on, mama. Please, please. Do you want me to have my own panic attacks worrying about you? They are both. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And I will be sure to follow up with your driver to make sure that you actually went. Course Uhhuh. I love you, mama. I love you too, baby.

No, no. You know it, it’s okay. Okay. You know the old saying, Hmm. There’s no sense crying. Over spilled whipp cream. Oh, that’s so weak. Thank you. Gimme a second. No, no, no, no. Don’t go. I’m strawberries. I’m pretty over the,

oh.

Where’s Grandma? Marlena? I wanna see her. And lady, you’ll see her later. Right? Now you’re going to go to your room. You’re punishing me. Well, Chloe’s the one who said she hates me, honey. She didn’t mean it. Okay. Yes she did. Daddy. So why aren’t you mad at her?

Chloe. Hi. You alright? Aren’t you like you lost your best friend? It’s excuse. I just did you mean? Yeah. I mean, Brady, well, I thought things were looking up for you too, since I killed Leo’s. Well, it turns out that Brady didn’t need to read about me badmouthing his daughter. He heard it straight from the horse’s mouth.

I told Rachel that I hated her right in front of him. You did not. I did. Oh, Chloe, I’m so sorry. Ah, she was just being. Awful to me, but still, I can’t believe those words just flew out of my mouth. And now, now there’s nothing I can do to take ’em back. Only consolation. I’m having a terrible day too. My cousin’s still screwing my ex and taking every chance he can to rub my face in.

It sounds like you could use a drink. Who Here? Let’s sit. Are you sure? I want to impose. Honestly, I could use the company. Oh, Chloe, I know that you’ve loved ver Insino cause you can’t have this little terror come between. God. Just, I don’t know how Brady could forgive me after what I said. I ju, I think. I think it might be over.

I mean, how could it not be? Hey, don’t cry. It’s gonna be okay if it’s gonna be okay.

Foil wrapped, teens dropping from the sky. No, that’s too far fetched, even for Salem. Ah, what the hell am I gonna put in my column?

Sheel Dupree Baker extraordinaire. I do my best work when I stressed. Please tell me. You brought me some treat. It’s in a manner of speaking. Hello? Do I have a scoop for you? Lady? Whistleblower.

So do you have any idea who’s threatening Paulina? It’s not you, Eric. A woman like Paulina Price makes enemies before breakfast if the police would just look past what’s right underneath their nose and actually do their job. If they’re not gonna help me, I might as well just do the paperwork and file a restraining order myself.

Update written by Joseph

After Belle and Eric leave the house, John tells Marlena that it was a relief to see Belle and Eric getting along and not going at each others’ throat. Marlena says it is for the time being. John responds that he thought it would take a miracle for that to happen and Marlena is that miracle. Marlena admits she would’ve liked more time with them. John thinks they didn’t want to overwhelm her. Marlena says that’s kind but they’ve been apart for so long that she doesn’t want to let them go. John understands after everything she’s been through but assures that she will be surrounded by people who love her 24/7. John tells Marlena that he’s never letting her out of his sight and kisses her. John adds that he’s never letting her go.

Harris questions Andrew saying he’s going to be a free man. Andrew reiterates that it will depend on doctors evaluations but from what he’s seen, it’s obvious that he was not in his right mind when he committed crimes and was acting under Megan Hathaway’s command which means she is the one that the ISA will want to keep prisoner, not Harris. Andrew adds that he has every confidence that as soon as the doctors okay it, he will be released from their custody. Harris responds that he’s not sure that’s a good idea.

Hope asks Megan who took Kayla.

Stephanie answers her phone call from Kayla and questions if it’s really her. Kayla confirms that it is as Stephanie starts to cry.

Marlena and John talk about the book Marlena was reading before she got sick and how she looked forward to finishing it when she came home, and now she can. Marlena talks about missing having a good book and reading in the bath. Marlena feels bad that Kayla is still missing. John encourages that Steve won’t rest until he finds her and brings her home. John reminds Marlena to take care of herself. Marlena tells John that she loves him and missed him so much. John promises there will be no more missing between them again as those days are over. Marlena says she will hold him to that as they kiss.

Megan tells Hope that she will tell her the name of the man who took Kayla and it’s a name that Hope and Steve are both very familiar with. Megan says that Steve is well acquainted with this man and Hope knows him even better. Hope tells Megan to get to the point. Megan responds that the man they are looking for is unusually skilled at avoiding being captured and he used to be one of her most loyal henchmen..

Kayla knows Stephanie is shocked but assures that she is alive. Stephanie says she knows and thanks God. Stephanie keeps thinking she’s dreaming but Kayla tells her that she’s not. Kayla asks how Stephanie knew she was alive. Stephanie informs her that Steve told her as he just found out. Kayla questions how he found out. Stephanie explains that Steve and John went to the island where Megan was holding her and they found Marlena and brought her home. Stephanie adds that they tried to find Kayla as well but Megan told them that Kayla had been taken off the island by some henchman. Kayla confirms that is true but reveals that it wasn’t just some random henchman, it was her uncle Bo.

Hope asks Megan again for the name of the henchman she supposedly knows so well. Megan then claims that it was Thomas Banks which Steve questions. Megan reminds Steve of their last run in with Thomas and how he almost killed Hope in Montreal. Megan laughs at the fact that if Thomas succeeded, Hope would be dead. Megan adds that Thomas would have succeeded if Sister Mary Moira hadn’t shown up, but since she did, Harris took the bullet for Hope and survived.

Andrew tells Harris that he knows this has all been terrible to deal with and he can’t imagine what it’s been like to be brainwashed by Megan. Andrew states that if Harris is worried about being a general threat to the public, they won’t release him if his tests show that he’s still under Megan’s influence. Harris responds that was only part of his concern as it’s not what he might still do that he’s worried about, but the things he’s already done.

Stephanie questions what Kayla said as the connection is dropping and asks who the henchman was. Kayla repeats that it’s her brother Bo, Stephanie’s uncle, but the connection goes bad and Stephanie says there’s lots of static. Stephanie asks Kayla where she is. Kayla reveals to her that she’s in Greece. Stephanie asks for the name of the city but Kayla doesn’t know and says it’s Victor’s childhood home.

Brady goes to John’s and is shocked to see Marlena is alive. Brady can’t believe it while Marlena tries to explain but Brady starts to argue with her as he believes she is Hattie Adams. John comes in and reveals to Brady that it is Marlena, she’s safe and sound and he’s eternally grateful. Brady is shocked and hugs Marlena, asking how.

Stephanie tries to get through to Kayla and asks again what town in Greece she is. Kayla tries repeating that it’s where Victor is from but Bo comes back in and grabs the phone from her. Bo remarks that he wishes she hadn’t done that.

Harris tells Andrew that what he’s been doing the past few years and the crimes he committed including kidnapping and assault. Harris screams that he killed two men. Harris explains that it was in Greece while tracking down the prisms, he shot two men in cold blood and watched them fall overboard to their deaths. Harris declares that he is a killer and asks if he should have to answer for that. Andrew understands he wants to take responsibility for what he’s done and admits that he’s had to do things he’s uncomfortable with as an ISA agent, so he can relate. Harris asks if he’s ever had to kill somebody. Andrew agrees that those men did not deserve to die but argues that they were Megan’s victims just as much as Harris is. Andrew declares that what he did before doesn’t matter as he still has a future and a lot to live for, including Hope. Andrew notes that it seemed like there was a connection between Harris and Hope. Harris admits he told her that and that he wanted a chance to see what they could have together. Harris remarks that he’s not sure he can measure up to Hope’s late husband, Andrew’s uncle Bo.

Megan tells Hope and Steve that she had such high hopes for Harris but he’s been such a disappointment. Hope wants to focus on now and asks if Thomas took Kayla because Megan ordered him to. Megan responds that she had nothing to do with Kayla’s disappearance. Steve questions why they should believe her. Megan insists that she’s telling the truth that Thomas went rogue. Steve asks why. Megan claims to have no idea and that she only knows he owes her everything including his life but that doesn’t matter to him. Megan says she gave him the perfect life and was going to give him the perfect future. Megan cries that she sacrificed everything for him but he does what he wants, when he wants, and doesn’t care who he hurts. Hope questions why this upsets her so much.

John tells Brady to breathe as Marlena brings him a glass of water. Brady still can’t believe Marlena is alive and really here. John is sorry for the shock and says he left him a message that they had incredible news and he should’ve been clearer. Brady says it’s on him since Rachel borrowed his phone and it’s a long story but she probably deleted the message. John understands that nothing could have prepared him for this. Brady says he’s still trying to wrap his head around it and that it was easier to believe that Hattie Adams had resurfaced more than Marlena being here. Brady apologizes for thinking she was Hattie but Marlena calls it completely understandable. Brady calls Marlena the heart and soul of John’s life and says it was hard for all of them, but especially John. Brady tells Marlena that he’s sorry for what she’s gone through. Marlena admits it was frightening but she kept going because of the love of her family. Marlena adds that she couldn’t have gotten through it without Kate and Kayla. Brady questions Megan having them held captive all this time and questions where Kayla and Kate are.

Stephanie’s call with Kayla drops and she tells Chad about it and that Kayla is somewhere in Greece. Chad says that makes sense because Megan has a lab somewhere in the Mediterranean. Stephanie cries that she needs Kayla to call back as Chad hugs her.

Bo is disappointed as he thought he could trust Kayla. Kayla argues that she doesn’t understand why he’s doing this. Bo says he’s trying to make a new start and he can’t do that if he’s connected to the people from his past. Bo sees that Kayla called a Salem area code and guesses she was talking to Steve. Kayla tells him that it was his niece, Stephanie, and tries to get Bo to remember his family.

Andrew tells Harris that he didn’t know his uncle Bo that well. Harris is sure he heard about the great love between Bo and Hope. Andrew confirms that people talked about it like it was legendary. Harris guesses he’s right then that he can’t compete with that. Andrew doesn’t believe that. Andrew says Hope will always hold Bo in her heart, but sadly uncle Bo is dead so Andrew questions who Harris is competing with.

Hope can’t figure out why Megan seems genuinely upset that Thomas ran out on her. Megan argues that she just expects loyalty but that’s in short supply. Megan claims that she told them who took Kayla, so that’s her end of the bargain and asks to get her transfer underway. Megan reiterates that she has no idea where Kayla was taken because Thomas turned out to have a mind of his own, unlike some. Hope tells Steve that Megan is obviously not going to tell them anymore today so it’s best they start focusing on bringing Thomas Banks in. Steve warns Megan that she better be telling the truth and she better pray they find Kayla safe and sound, because if anything happens to Kayla, he’s holding Megan personally responsible. Steve and Hope then exit.

Brady goes over Marlena, Kayla, and Kate surviving the poisoning but Kayla is missing. John notes that Steve is searching as they speak and he won’t rest until he finds her. Brady asks if Kate didn’t make it. Marlena explains that Megan made it clear that there would be consequences for anyone who did not follow her instruction and Kate didn’t. Marlena adds that she was lucky to escape when she did. Brady says they are all very lucky to have Marlena back because they love and need her. Brady doesn’t think they all realized how much they relied on her until she was gone. Brady thinks most of them were falling apart. Marlena declares that it really is all about family. Marlena then asks about her granddaughter. Brady says she’s good and will be very happy to know that Marlena is alive and well. Brady can’t wait to tell her and says he’s going to pick Rachel up from school now. Marlena can’t wait to see her. Brady tells Marlena that he loves her and hugs her as he thanks God that she came back to them.

Andrew tells Harris that he’s going to check to see if the doctors have filed their reports. Andrew adds that no matter what the evaluations say, Harris is not defined by his past. Andrew tells Harris that whenever he has a chance at love, he should take it. Andrew repeats that he’s sure Hope will always hold Bo in her heart, but he’s gone now, so Harris shouldn’t let Bo stand in his way. Andrew then exits the room.

Bo questions what Kayla told Stephanie. Kayla says she told her that she was alive. Bo guesses she told her that she was with him and where they are. Kayla admits that she did but they had a terrible connection so Stephanie didn’t hear what she was saying. Bo hopes she’s telling the truth because they don’t need anyone tracking them down. Kayla argues that they are on a goat farm that Victor couldn’t wait to run away from. Kayla says if even if she could tell someone where it is, there’s a terrible connection and no signal. Bo tells her not to worry because she won’t be making any more phone calls. Bo then heads back to the kitchen.

Stephanie tries calling Kayla back but complains that it’s just ringing and ringing. Stephanie worries that maybe she shouldn’t have called her back since if someone is holding Kayla captive and heard the phone ringing, they’ll know she called someone. Stephanie worries that maybe Kayla hung up before because someone caught her with the phone. Stephanie wonders if they are hurting her. Chad encourages her not to think that way and suggests the call just dropped because of bad connection so maybe she’ll call back. Stephanie complains that she can’t just sit here and do nothing or she’ll go crazy, so she’s calling her dad.

Steve tells Hope that they should check in with Andrew to see if he knows anything about Thomas Banks’ latest moves. Hope tells Steve to go ahead and she’ll catch up with him because she wants to check on Harris. Steve tells Hope to do what she has to do and notes that Thomas has been on the ISA’s radar for quite some time, so he bets Andrew will have solid leads on how to track him down. Hope encourages Steve that Kayla is alive so they are going to find her and bring her home as they hug. Hope then goes to see Harris while Steve gets a call from Stephanie. Stephanie says she needs to talk to him. Steve asks if it can wait because he’s in the middle of trying to track down her mom. Stephanie reveals that she’s calling because she knows where she is.

Marlena reads her book in a bubble bath. John comes in and informs her that he heard from Hope, who says that Megan told them that Thomas Banks has Kayla captive, so it’s just a matter of time before they find Kayla.

Megan talks to herself about how Steve and Hope were so happy to go chasing after Thomas Banks, if only they knew who really took Kayla. Megan remarks that she wasn’t about to give Hope the satisfaction of knowing that her beloved Bo is alive again as she laughs.

Hope goes back to Harris’ room and finds Andrew there. Andrew asks if she got anything out of Megan. Hope says they did but questions what’s going on here since Andrew removed the handcuffs from Harris. Andrew reveals they just got the test results and the doctors are certain that Harris is no longer under control of Megan, so he’s free to go and now that he’s fully in control of his own mind, the path he chooses is up to him.

Steve questions how Stephanie knows where Kayla is. Stephanie explains that Kayla called her but the connection was terrible, so all she knows is that Kayla is in Greece. Steve questions how Kayla ended up there.

Bo sits with Kayla and encourages her to eat because she is going to need her strength for a busy day tomorrow.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

That was a relief Bill and Eric actually getting along. Yeah, for the time Beam Doc, let me tell you the way they’d been going in each other’s throats you, I thought it was gonna take a miracle for that to happen. And you know what? I was right. You are that miracle.

What are you thinking about? I just, I would’ve liked a little more time with them. Uh, you know, I, I think they just didn’t wanna overwhelm you. No, no. Oh, no. No. And that’s, that’s very kind. I’ve just been apart for so long. I don’t wanna let them go, sweetheart, that’s understandable considering everything that you have just gone through.

But, but I’m gonna say one thing and trust me on this. After everything that we have gone through and how we have missed you so damn much, you are gonna be surrounded by people who love you 24 7. Well, no time to myself at all. Oh, maybe, maybe, you know, you’re in there just a little bit, but for the most part, speaking for myself, not a damn chance.

Cause I’m never letting you outta my sight.

I’m never letting you go, honey.

Did you just say I was, I was gonna be a free man. As I explained a little dependent on doctor’s evaluations, but from what I’ve seen, it’s obvious you weren’t in your right mind when you committed those crimes. You were only executing Ms. Hathaway’s. Which means that she’s the one, the ISA will wanna keep prisoner, not you.

That’s why I have every confidence, but as soon as we get the okay from the doctors, it’ll be released from our custody.

I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

So the person who took Kayla as a man, what’s his name? Who is he? Wow. I can see why they promoted you to police commissioner with those powers of deduction. Are you gonna keep insulting me or are you gonna tell us this man’s name? I can do both. I’m extremely skilled at multitasking. Mom, is it really you?

Yes. Yes, sweetheart. It’s it’s mom.

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

right where you left it.

I was, I was, um, about a quarter of the way through it

before I got sick.

You didn’t want me to bring that to you in the hospital? You said you wanted to look forward to finishing it when you came.

You can now? I can now I can

you,

when you were gone. I couldn’t, I couldn’t, couldn’t put that back on the bookcase. I don’t know what it was, whether it was some irrational, this part of my brain to just kept hoping against hope that you were gonna come back. And I wanted that book to be waiting for you right where you left and when you came home.

You were so good. You’re so good. And that’s something that I, I missed her also, I missed having a good book and. Reading it in a bubble bath with no cares in the world. Okay. I just figured out something here. I’m gonna have to set you up on a spa day here at the place. Okay. What we’re gonna do is we’re gonna get a bit bubble bath on.

You’re gonna read that book and you’re gonna soak yourself to your heart’s content. How does that sound? That sounds great. I, I think I might feel. A little too guilty. Indulging myself when Kayla’s still missing, sweetheart. I know that you’re worried about her, but you know that Steve is not gonna rest until he finds her and he brings her home.

Besides, aren’t you the one that said that if you don’t take care of yourself, I, I’m not gonna be good for anybody else. Hey, no Nofa using my own words against me. I’m taking care of my wife. I don’t have to plate fair. I love you so much. I missed you so much. There is gonna be no more missing between you and me ever again.

My precious wife. Those days are over. I’m gonna hold you

fine. I’ll tell you the name of the man that took Kayla. And actually it’s a name you’re both very familiar with. Really? Oh, yes. You’re very well acquainted with this man, Steve, and hope you know him even better. And I know you love the sound of your own voice, but get to the point please. The point is, The man that you’re looking for is unusually skilled at avoiding capture.

In fact, he used to be one of my most loyal henchmen.

I know it’s a shock, honey, but it’s true. I’m, I’m alive. I know, and I thank God. Mom. I keep thinking that I’m dreaming, but I’m very assured that I’m not. You’re not my darling. But you knew I was alive before you heard it from me. Yes, I did. Dad told me dad. Dad knows too. He just found out how he and John went to the island where Megan was holding.

And mom, they found Marlena and they brought her home. Oh, thank God they tried to find you too. And they almost did, but Megan told them that you’d been taken, that some henchman of hers had forced you off the island. Yes, that’s true. But it’s not just some random hinge, man. It was your Uncle Bo.

And what is the name of this henchman? I supposedly know so well.

The man who took Kayla was

Thomas. Thanks. Thanks. What the. Shirley, you remember him, Steve, you and John were guests of mine in Caracas when he dropped by and give me the prism guests, you had us kidnapped and tied up against our will, tomato, tomato, and hope. As I said, you know him even better considering he almost killed you in Montreal.

I’m not sure you and I share the same definition of knowing someone well naked. Well, would it have been more memorable if he had actually succeeded and taken your life? Oh wait, that’s unlikely because then you’d be dead

anyway. He definitely would’ve succeeded if that pesky sister of his who actually happens to be a sister hadn’t shown up. But thanks to Sister Mary Moira and her impeccable timing, your boyfriend Michaels took the bullet for you and survived. Harris, I know this has all been terribly difficult to deal with.

I can’t imagine what it’s been like for you being brainwashed by Megan, not knowing if your thoughts are your own or something that she put in your head. But if you’re worried that we shouldn’t release you because you might be a threat to the general public, or you’re kind of some sort of sleeper that she can set off, don’t be.

We won’t release you if your tests show that you’re still operating under Megan’s influence. That was just part of my concern. What was the other part? It’s not what I might still do

that I’m worried about.

The things I’ve already done.

What did you say, mom? The connection’s getting really wonky. You said Megan’s henchman was who? Uncle Bo, say it again please. Uncle Bo Bo. My brother Bo. Your uncle Bo is alive.

Mom, I’m sorry. The connection’s really bad. I can only hear every third word or whatever. There’s lots of static. Well, just tell me where you are. Okay. Greece. I’m in Greece. Greece? Yeah. Yeah. Greece. Where in Greece? What’s the name of the city? I don’t, I don’t know the town. It, it’s, uh, Victor’s Childhood Home.

Dad, anyone home?

Oh my God.

I don’t believe it. Uh, Brady. Brady. It’s all right. I know there’s, how are you doing in here? What am I doing here? Why would you ask me where, where is, where is my father? Did he allow you to come in here? Allow me listen. What are you asking me? No, don’t listen to me. Patty Adams. I don’t watch. No, you don’t walk around here like you own this place.

Okay. You What happens? I do. I don’t wanna hear your story about how you thought this was a good idea yourself. She’s home. She’s safe and sound, and I’m eternally grateful. Let’s talk. I’m grateful too. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. How,

mom? Are you still there? Yes, I’m still here. Can, can you hear me? Where are you? In Greece. What’s the name of the town? I, I don’t know. I don’t know the name of the town. It’s, it’s, uh, it’s where Victor’s from, Victor Kikis, what? Victor Vic. Hey, hey. I wish he hadn’t done that.

What I’ve been doing these past few years,

the crimes I committed,

there were people that kidnapped. I assaulted Michaels. You weren’t acting. I killed two men.

It was in Greece when I was tracking down the prisms.

I shot two men in cold blood.

And watch them fall overboard to their desk.

I’m a killer.

Shouldn’t I have to answer for that? I understand that you wanna take responsibility for what you’ve done.

I know it’s not the same, but as an ISA agent, I have had to do things. That I haven’t been comfortable with, so I can relate.

Have you ever had to kill somebody?

You’re right. If those men did not deserve to die, doesn’t matter if they were innocent or not, but those were Megan’s victims just as much as.

Now it does not matter what you’ve done before. You still have a future. You have a lot to live for, including my own hope.

Now, I may be wrong, but it seems like there was a connection between you two. Yeah, I did tell her that. Just wanted the chance to see what we could have. Not as much.

Not sure. I can measure up to her late husband, your Uncle Bo.

I have such high hopes for Michaels, but he spent nothing but a disappointment. Let’s focus on the here and now. Okay. You were just telling us that Thomas Banks took. Is it because you ordered him to, I had nothing to do with Kayla’s disappearance. And why should we believe you? Because I’m telling you the truth.

Thomas went rogue. Why? I have no idea.

All I know is that that man owes me everything. He owes me his life. Doesn’t matter to him. I gave him the perfect life. I, I was going to give him a perfect future. I sacrificed years, everything for him, and yet he does what he wants, what he wants. He doesn’t care who yours.

Megan, why does this upset you so much?

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Thank you. I can’t believe you. You’re alive. Can I touch you? Please? I make sure you’re, you really here. I’m really, I’m sorry. This is such a shock. I left you as you’re saying, we had some incredible news here. I should have been a hell of a lot clearer. I’m sorry. No, no, no. That that’s on me because Rachel ended up borrowing my phone and she, it’s a long story.

I don’t want to get into it right now. It’s not important. She probably deleted some messages. Even if you got the message, nothing could’ve prepared you for this. No, no. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this whole thing and I’m, so I, it was. For me to think that Hattie Adams had resurfaced than you being here.

So, oh, and the things I said to you when I walked in, I’m so sorry, but I thought you were her and I. No, no, no, no. I apologize. It is completely understandable. It’s fine. I want to, I wanna say something to you. I’m just gonna say it out loud cuz I’m a little emotional right now and I’m a little overwhelmed with all this.

You, um, You’re the, you’re the heart and soul of my father’s life. This was extremely hard for all of us, but especially for this guy, and it must have been so awful for what you’ve been going through. So sorry. Thank you. It was, it was frightening. And I only kept going because of, of this what we’re talking about, the love of my family.

You know, I was, I was there with Kate and Kayla. I could not have gotten through it without them. Megan. Megan literally had the three of you. Captive this time? Well, what, what, what, what happened? to the others. Where are, where are Kate and Kayla?

Mom? Hello? Hello?

The line went dead. But that was my mom. I know. Okay. Um, alright, so she said she’s in, in, in Greece. Did she say where? I could barely hear her, but yeah, she said somewhere in Greece. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. Megan has a lab somewhere in the, uh, middle of the Mediterranean, but she didn’t say exactly where I, I, the connection was so bad I could barely understand her.

God, I pray she calls back. Chad, I need her to call back. Oh, that’s okay.

Come on. I’m disappointed. I thought I could trust you. I leave for a few minutes and you go rifling through my stuff. Well, I would like to say I’m sorry except for, you know, I am really at a loss here. I don’t understand why you’re doing this, how many I’m trying to make a new start and I can’t do that if I’m connected to the people from the past, and that’s exactly what you are trying to do.

Salem Area code. You’re talking to Steve, weren’t you? I wasn’t. I was talking to Stephanie. Oh, you remember Stephanie, your niece, and Joey, your nephew, my kids who love you and worshiped you. Surely you remember your family, Bo?

I didn’t know my uncle Beau that well. We moved to California when I was a kid, so we only got to see him a few times a year. Yeah. But I’m sure you heard about the, the great love between him and Hope, right? Yeah, I did. People talked about it. I guess it was kind of legendary. There you go. So you’re telling me I’m right.

There’s no way I can compete with that. I didn’t say that and I definitely don’t believe it. I. Yes, I’m sure my aunt Hope will always hold my uncle in her heart. They were married for a long time. They had kids together and yes, they were obviously crazy in love. But, uh, sadly, uncle Bo’s dead. So who are you competing with?

You seem genuinely upset that banks ran out on. But I can’t figure out his, why

isn’t it obvious? I expect loyalty, that’s all. Fortunately what happens to be in short supply. But you wanted to know who took Kayla. I told you that. So I’ve held up my end of the bargain. Shall we get this transfer underway? And you say you have no idea where they. None whatsoever. Thomas turned out to have a mind of his own.

Unlike some,

she’s obviously not going to tell us anything more. Not today. It’s best to be focused on bringing banks in

faith. You better be telling the truth and you better pray that we find Kayla safe and sound. Because whether you put banks up to this or not, if anything happens to my wife, I’m holding you personally responsible.

Just so I’m clear you, Kate and Kayla survived the poisoning, but Kayla’s missing. That’s right. Steve is, he’s uh, he’s searching for her as we speak. And if I know anything about my partner, he’s not gonna wear us till he finds her and brings her home, right? Yeah. What, what about Kate? She didn’t make it, did she?

Megan made it very clear that there would be consequences for anybody who did not follow her instructions and Kate didn’t I? I was lucky to have escaped when I did.

We are all very lucky to have you back. We not only love you, we need you. You need, you, your, your, your wisdom, your love, your strength, everything. I don’t think we all really knew how much we relied on you until you were gone. I think most of us were falling apart. Honestly, I don’t think so. But thanks for the ego boost.

Sure. He not really is just all so bad family. How’s my granddaughter? Oh, she’s, she’s, she’s good. She’s good. Um, she’s gonna be very happy to know that her grandma Marlene is alive and well, I’ll talk to that. And I can’t wait to tell her. I actually, I’m gonna get to tell her soon, cause I gotta go pick her up from school now.

Oh, okay. Can’t wait to see her. You’re gonna get to see her. I love you. I love you and thank God. They’ve come back to us.

I’m going to go check and see if the doctors have filed their reports.

No matter what the evaluations say, you need to know that you’re not defined by your past. And as cliche as it is, I will impart to you something that I’m trying to live by now, and that is whenever you have a chance at Love, you should take it

now. I’m sure my aunt Hope will always hold my uncle in her heart. Like I said, but he’s gone now. Just don’t understand in your way.

What did you tell my lovely niece, Stephanie, that said I was live? Okay. You told her you were with me and where we are nearby? Sure. I did. But you’ll be relieved to know that the was a terrible connection and I, she couldn’t really hear me and she couldn’t make out what I was saying. You’re telling me she didn’t hear anything?

Well, I don’t think she could really hear me, and she certainly doesn’t know that I was here with you or where we are. In fact, I don’t even know if she actually knew it was me.

Oh, I hope you’re telling me the truth. Because we don’t need anyone tracking us down, tracking us down, for God’s sake. Bo look around, we are on a goat farm that, that Victor Kriyas couldn’t wait to run away from. And even if I could tell somebody where this goat farm is in the as end of no. There’s a terrible phone connection here.

There’s no signal. Don’t worry. You won’t be making any more phone calls.

Damn. It’s just ringing, ringing.

Maybe I shouldn’t have called her back. I mean, if someone’s holding my mom against her will and they heard the phone ringing, they’ll know that she was able to call and reach someone. Maybe that’s why she hung up before, because someone caught her with the phone. Oh my God, what if they’re hurting her?

Okay, listen, listen, look at me, Stephanie, look at me. You can’t think that. Okay. You said look at, you said the connection was bad. Maybe the call dropped. All right. I’m sure the call just dropped. Maybe she’ll call you back. God, I hope so, but I can’t just sit here and do nothing. I’ll go crazy. Wait, who are you calling now?

My dad. You know what? We should check in with Andrew, see what he knows on Banks’s recent moves. You go ahead. Um, I’ll catch up with you. I wanna check in on Harris, see how he’s doing. Okay. Do what you gotta do. You know, banks has been on the Issa’s radar for a while now. I betcha Andrew will have some solid leads on how to track him down.

Alive. Alive. She’s alive, Steve, and we’re gonna find her and we’re gonna.

Stephanie. Papa, listen, I need to talk to you, baby. Can’t wait. I’m in the middle of trying to track down a location on your mom. That’s why I’m calling. I know where she is.

Got some good news doc. She’s got a text from Hope. What did she say? Megan finally coughed up the name of the guy who took Kayla, Thomas Banks. So Banks has Kayla tapped it. So now it just a matter of time until we find her,

Stephen. Hope so. Happy to go chasing after Thomas Banks

if only they knew who really took Kayla.

But he wasn’t about to give hope, the satisfaction of knowing that her beloved bow is alive again.

Andrew Harris. Hi. Were you able to get anything outta Megan about Monte? Uh, yes we were and I’ll. We say, what’s going on here? You took off the cuff. Well, we just got the results of his evaluations. The doctors are certain that he is no longer under Megan’s control, which means he’s free to go and now that he is fully in control of his own mind.

The path he chooses is up to him.

You know where your mother is? How Stephanie? Because I just talked to her. What she called me. The connection was terrible, so I couldn’t hear most of what she said. So all I know is she’s in Greece. Greece. How did she end up there?

Up. He’s gonna need your strength. Busy day tomorrow.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

John brought Marlena home. He couldn’t believe she was there. She said she couldn’t imagine what he has gone through. He said it was hard on the kids. She wanted to tell them. He called Belle and Eric. When they showed up, they argued over Sloan. John told them to stop arguing. He told them they found Megan. They were glad that she was found so she could pay for killing their mother. John said she couldn’t. They wanted to know why. Marlena came out and said she was alive. Hope saw Harris handcuffed to his bed. She said the doctors were trying to find out if he was too dangerous to be set free. She said she was confident that he has been deprogrammed. He said it was a gamble for the ISA to let him go free. He said the best thing to do was to make him disappear. She said she wouldn’t let that happen. Andrew walked in and told them Megan was in custody. He said Marlena and Kayla were alive. He said Kayla was abducted. Hope said she could get Megan to talk. Bo took Kayla to a house. Kayla wanted to know where they were. She yelled at him about the things they went through to get there. He said Victor grew up there. He welcomed her to Greece. He said Victor bought the house and wanted it to look the way it did to remind him of when he was poor. He said it was where Victor started his dream of building an empire. He said he would build one too. She told him they needed to go back to Salem so he could get his head on straight. He said he never felt clearer in his life. He said he had a clear path and could go down the path he was destined for. She told him the Kiriakis empire was a crime syndicate. She said Victor was ruthless. She said the Bradys were rich in love. He said his childhood was full of lies, not love. He said he was over being controlled by other people. He said he would decide who he was. She reminded him of his children and family. He said this was his family.

Steve went to see Megan in jail. He told her to stop stalling and tell him where Kayla was. She said she didn’t know. He asked her who had Kayla. His phone rang. He answered the phone. It was Stephanie. He told her Megan was in custody and her mother was alive. Stephanie asked to talk to her. He said she was abducted, but he wouldn’t rest until he found her. When he got off the phone, he went back to Megan. She said she would tell him where Kayla was if he got her full immunity. He didn’t take the deal. She asked to be transferred to Statesville. She said she refused to live where she wouldn’t exist. She told him to make it happen or he would never see Kayla again. Belle and Eric were happy to see Marlena. She wanted to know why they were yelling. They apologized. She said she wanted them to make up. She asked if they could do that for her. They agreed to do it. Bo stopped Kayla from leaving. He said he needed her help. He took out the orchid and Rolf’s notes from a crate. They talked about Rolf’s serum to reverse the aging process. He said he needed someone who knew science and medicine. He said he needed someone he trusted. She asked if he was planning to build an empire on a flower. Hope went to see Megan at the prison. She told Megan that Harris was deprogrammed and was back to the hero he was before she brainwashed him. Megan thought Hope was falling for Harris. She was curious as to whether Harris was the man for Hope. She asked if Hope was ready to give up everyone for Harris. Steve came back. He said Shane agreed to Megan’s deal. He said she would get 20 years in Statesville with no possibility of parole providing she gives the information on Kayla. When she signed the deal, he asked her where Kayla was. Andrew thanked Harris for helping capture Megan. He said they were all in his debt. Harris said he wanted his life and career back, but he knew that wasn’t possible. Andrew said if the tests proved he wasn’t under Megan’s control, he would be free. When Bo went to make soup, Kayla looked through Rolf’s notes. She found a phone in Bo’s bag, she called Steve, but he didn’t answer the phone. She called someone else. She called Stephanie.
