THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

If it wasn’t Stefano, then who was the last person in that chamber? I never said it wasn’t Stefano, but you strongly implied it, and you said that you kept that person alive for over a decade and impressed his feet even for you. You are impressed. Well, we are women of science. Of course we are. Yeah. And I would think that you would be dying to tell people about your achievement.

So am might not share it with us. I mean, who are we going to tell you raise a good point. I suppose I wouldn’t her to brag a little about one of my great successes.

There’s no sense in drawing this out any longer. You might as well go ahead and kill her. No, no, no. You don’t wanna do that Megan. Call him off. Kate, you destroy the serum, but you see you to me now. I’ll do what you want. Just give me a second chance. No, Bo No. You know you don’t want to do it. Oh, I think he.

Actually, she’s right. Thank you. Oh, what are you doing? This could get messy. You don’t want blood all over the lab, do you? Ah, good point. How about to take this outside? Great idea. Kill her outside and then leave her to rot. Hmm.

Thank you so much, Andrew. I’ll be in touch.

The Isa granted visiting privileges for Harris. Michaels great. Let’s go. No, no, no. Hold on. You too. Should hit back to Salem. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don’t want us to come along. John, this is something I need to do in my own.

I have brought people back from the dead, of course, but in this case, I think you will be awestruck as well as jubilant. When I tell you that’s a person in question is, look what we have here. I do hope I’m not interrupting anything. No, it’s fine. And just asking me questions about my new serum. Rolf was just telling us that you were planning to use it on Kate, like she’s some kind of Guinea pig.

Where is she? What have you done with her? Well, you don’t need to worry about those tests anymore. Kate refused to cooperate, so she’s gonna suffer a different trait now.

Okay. Megan’s gone. You know, you don’t have to follow her orders. You can, you can say that I got away, or the, the gun jams. I know you don’t wanna do this.

Move

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

Ah, Katie, will I ever hear from you again? What will it take to make you reach out?

Do I have to plot another murder?

Maybe I’m crazy. I just imagined it all.

Okay. That’s good. That’s good. I think this is a perfect place for you to die. Okay. Look, I, I, I don’t know what Megan stands to you. Oh, no, not about her. Okay, well that’s good because she’s crazy and you need to get the hell away from her bow. Elena, Kayla and I, we all know you. This is not you. So me the real blow.

See a sweetheart of a guy most of the time, but you are definitely not a stone cold assassin. Okay? Do you know how many people are going to beat overwhelmed by the fact that you’re so alive? You need to think about. Okay. Because you loved her, why would she think if she saw you like this?

Ms. Brady, welcome to Isa PSYOPs. Thank you, agent Rose and uh, Ms. We’re so honored to have you visit us. Agent Donovan called and said you were coming, but not to fango out. You and your late husband are kind of legends around here. That’s very flattering. Thank you. My condolence is on his death. Thank you.

You must still miss him every day. Commander Michaels is in here. Yes, right inside. May I please see? Of course.

We’re never getting out of this door. Now I wanna tell Megan comes back for us. What do you think she’s planning now? I mean, saying that Kate is going to suffer a different kind of fate. I, after all she’s been through, um, she did find a cure for the virus. She put us into a cryogenic state until she decides to wake us up, but she wanted to keep us alive for some reason.

Remember Ralph said that she was planning on using the serum on Kate. I don’t know. I think Megan’s new plan sounds ominous at best. Yeah. Do you think I’m overreacting? No, I don’t. I think we’re in a world of trouble here.

Do you think it might have been shortsighted for you to order bull to kill our test subject? How so? You can make a new serum, right? Yes, but it’ll take time. Fine. And we still have two women that we can test it on. Megan, don’t question me Wolf. Get to work very well

and no more procrastinating. It’s been months since Bo and I were reunited. We all the respect, you’ve already waited 40 years. And I don’t want to wait any longer than I have to.

Oh my God, it works. Bone. You’re conscious.

It’s me, Megan. Oh, what’s darling? I knew you would come back.

Can you say something, please?

What’s hope?

I literally brought that man back to life and all he could think about was her. Yes, you gave me quite an earful about it at the time. Why do you have luck? Megan, let me outta here. I have to fly my wife. Come on. I gotta find hope. Megan,

Ralph. Thank God. Last thing I remember I was in the park. I was dying in hopes. I have to get to her. As you can hear this must stop is you’ve taken me away from a very important project your brother Stephan did. I don’t care about that. Megan, I need you to make this stop. I cured more of his brain tumor.

And I need you to cure him of Hope Brady,

I did as you asked. Yes, but it didn’t turn out as I expected.

Why would I care what hope thinks? Because she’s your wife. Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but ex-wife got a divorce. Okay, well, there’s the mother of another one of your exes whose heart she broke. I know all too well that hope was the one great love of your life and that you never got over it. Isn’t that true?

Oh, what a beautiful story. Okay. Time to die. Okay. Is at least, uh, take this. Take my wedding. So you can return it to Roman.

Sorry man. I know you’re closed. Not to you guys. Come on.

Right. What are you, uh, doing back to her? What’s going on? Did you find Megan? Well, not exactly bud. We got an. What’s going on? Your nephew, Andrew did us a real solid, let us access ISA records. So we found out where Megan went after she left Ruckus. We got there. It was too late. She’d already cleared out. So that was the end the line.

Maybe not. We went into Hope. Oh, yep. What was she doing? Same thing we were doing, I suppose. She has an idea that Harris Michaels might know something that could lead us to Megan. Well, if he does that, bastard’s never gonna tell. Maybe, maybe not. You see, when he was in Montreal, he indicated to hope that he thinks maybe he.

Was brainwashed by Megan, so if she used the same techniques on him that she used on us, he could be reachable. Kayla got through to me. Marla and Paul were able to reach John help figures. She gets a face-to-face with Michaels. She might have a breakthrough there also, but Harris never really loved hope, did he?

I guess we’ll see about that.

You got him locked down pretty tight with good reason. Commander Michaels has been quite uncooperative. I can’t say that surprises me. Advised arrangement after he sent the third agent to the hospital. Thank you. One of our top psychoanalysts Donovan’s wife. Has met with him several times, but he’s been highly resistant to treatment.

Yes. So I see. I’d like you to let me in there with him alone. Yes, Erin. It’s some privacy that would be inadvisable. As I said, he’s very dangerous. Yes, I understand an agent Rose, but I need to look him straight in the eye for this to. I can call Shane if you’d like. It won’t be necessary. I trust you. Thank you.

Here’s your panic button.

We’ll be right outside if you. Thank you agent.

Hello, hope.

It’s been a long time.

I had such high hopes at first.

What? What is happen? What, bro? What are you doing to me? Just relax. Bob. You’ve been through a little procedure. That’s all procedure. What kind of procedure on your brain just need to make sure that it’s worked?

How does that make you.

Ah, excellent. As I said, , the procedure worked exactly as intended. Yes. He no longer wanted hope, and he was loyal to me. He did everything I asked him to. But the spark between us, the the spark was gone.

What’s with the yearbook? Well, it’s our yearbook though. Don’t you remember? We are a voted best couple. Yeah, so well, we could be that happy again, . That was a long time ago, but the feelings can come back. I know they can.

He was supposed to love me. I warned you that a procedure could not create romantic feelings out of nothing. They’re not nothing. They’re just. Dormant. Now, this serum, this serum had better work as you promised when Megan’s said that Kate was going to suffer a different kind of fate. Now, do you think that she was just trying to scare us to get us to behave?

I mean, why would she kill Kate after she had gone through so much trouble to revive her? Well, she wouldn. And even if that were her intention, I, Katie was just, she’s resourceful and, and she’s able to talk her way out of any dire situation. I know she will. Here again, as I recall, you and Roman were over a long time ago.

Well, we got back together again recently and actually we got. On my deathbed, although it was the first time, you know, because I got sick and then I recovered and then I relapsed, and then apparently I died. And yet here I am. Which is pretty miraculous. Wouldn’t you say ? No, no. Ralph made it happen. Have Megan’s request.

Oh, well Ralph makes a lot of things happen, doesn’t he? Did you see I’m a survivor? You’re a survivor. Roman’s a survivor. Do you remember, do you remember saying goodbye to him on that beach when you thought he was dead? Because Roman loves me. If you kill his wife, he’s gonna be devastated. Is that what you want?

So you only think that hope can get through this Harris, my close guy. I mean, he might not know anything even if, uh, she gets in to talk and after the way he got the upper hand on both of you. Oh, hey, we were on Bush, man. Come on. That’s right. Hey, we’ve been prepared on that. Hey, relax. Okay. I’m not questioning your skills.

All right. I’m just worried about hope. The point is he is in ISA custody. It’s a highly controlled situation. We wanted to go with. , but she insisted she had to do this on her own and you know how damn headstrong she can be. Yeah. She almost got herself killed last time she got involved with this guy. I hope she’s being safe this time.

What are you doing here? Why would you even want to talk to me after everything I did to you and your family?

The last time we saw each other in Montreal, you said you thought Megan had done something to you, brainwash. You said that you wanted help. We got you that help Harris, but I’m confused because ever since then you have fought it every step of the way. Why is that? I was lying. I said whatever it took to mitigate that.

Punish. No, no, no. I don’t. I don’t believe you. If they were two, you’d still be keeping up with that. No, I think that you are still fully under a million’s control and why? It’s the reason why you wouldn’t open up to Kimberly, and that’s why I only see the real you when we’re alone. Harris, look at me, Harris.

I came all this way today.

Remind you of what we had. There was nothing between us. We had was a card. I was just playing you to get to the prisons just like you were playing me. No, it’s not true. Not in the beginning. I wasn’t. Here is something, something grew between us. Before I realized that you were after the prison, you said it yourself.

It’s the reason you couldn’t pull the trigger. When Megan had urged you to kill me, I said what you wanted to hear. Yeah, yeah, I know. To communicate your punishment. I heard you.

All right

then. Tell me this. Why? Why did Megan have to hire Thomas Banks? Put him up in the rafters to kill me? You could’ve killed me. You could’ve done it from two feet away. It’s a backup plan. Why am I still alive, Harris?

Because I failed. No,

because you succeeded. You succeeded. Aris, you stopped.

I am alive because of you.

You felt something for me.

You still do. It’s real. It is.

I.

What about you?

Do you feel something for me too?

Do you don’t hope is risking her life? Is it worth it, Roman? Megan’s out there somewhere behaving like a true Demir Stephanie’s daughter through and through who knows what she could be planning right now to hurt even more people we love. She’s still a threat. We need to stop her. Whatever it takes. As you recall, I made no promises, but if it works, This serum will allow you and Bo to go back again and start at the beginning.

It’s about time my flight was delayed from Jakarta and frankly, I’m not even sure why you summit me. I thought my work was done. Not quite. Although Bo has forgotten his feelings for hope, then what’s the problem? The problem is, That the spark between us, between bow and I is gone. And how do you suppose I can change that?

What are you asking me to do? I read an article in the Salem Spectator the other day about an orchid that seems to have magical healing properties and or could you grew in your lab before it disappeared? And what does that have to do with. I’m just wondering if you might be able to use it to help bow and me to turn back time.

Ah, you want to reverse the aging process? Oh, and I lost so much. And you think the orca could be your own personal fountain of youth? Almost as good as a time. Is it possible? I know you told the police that it’s gone, but I wonder if you might not know where I can get my hands on it. Actually, I do.

When we’re young, again, like when we first met, I know he’ll love. Instead of just following my orders like a loyal soldier, you know, he has never once questioned what I’ve asked him to do or why.

No one knew he was in Salem. They all still think he’s dead and they’ll never know otherwise. Come on, we’re Homan thinks you’re dead. I pull this trigger. We’ll make a damn bit of difference to him. I know, because eventually he will find out what you. I guess the truth always comes out, doesn’t it? Both. I don’t really care if the truth comes out.

I don’t care about Roman. You know? I don’t believe that. I really don’t. I mean, I think that you’re lying to yourself because I think everything that I’ve said to you deep down has struck a chord with the real vore who is devoted to his family, who adores his sisters, Kimberly and Kayla and his brother Roman, and his children and his grand children.

Sean, Douglas, Sierra, Zach, Claire, Chelsea. I mean, you could forget about Chelsea, your daughter. With my Billy. I mean, I can see you trying to deny that you have feelings for hope, even for Roman, because certainly those relationships are fraught. They, they’re complicated. There’s not a baggage there. But the parents love for their child.

That is pure, that is unshakable, even in the worst of circumstances. So you see Chelsea is my flesh and blood. Blood. You wanna see blood? I’ll show you blood. Listen to me. You are not going to break Chelsea’s heart by killing her grandmother. You and I. That you are not going to pull that trigger. You know that I will only to shut you up.

So you were together for a whole year. When you kissed me, I felt something that wasn’t just part of the game.

Come on hope. I want the. Okay. The truth,

as much as I wanted to stay disconnected, there were moments I thought something,

okay, I admitted it. I can, I can you Can you admit?

Or maybe, um,

Me just think about what Megan was willing to do to get revenge on hope. Yeah, on a pure spine. Well, just because Bo lived another woman, it’s not like she could have ’em anyway. Now. and if she has succeeded in getting hope out of the way. Yeah, I still can’t believe it. I mean, Megan Hathaway is still alive and our wives are damnit.

You know what guys? I mean, sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. I mean, I, I tell people, you know that Kate is talking to me from the great beyond

through an.

So have you picked up on anything from her lately? Now she’s gone silent and that’s what makes me wonder. I mean, did I. Did I imagine that Paulina herd of two?

I saw Kayla. She came to me. John, what about you? What about you? Did anything like that happen to you? Did you ever hear from Martin Le?

I haven’t heard anything at all from Doc. I thought appealing to to Ralph’s ego might get us somewhere. It was getting us somewhere. I’m sure that he was about to tell us who was in that fourth chamber when Megan walked in. Not that it even matters now. But it might because if somebody had been in there and they got away, maybe if they’re friendly, they was able to come back, they could help us escape.

You don’t think My relationship with Chelsea was complicated. She’s responsible for the death of one of my kids. I know, and you got past that because of your love hurt. Both, you know, Chelsea and Max London now because they’re, they’re so happy. Bella and Shawn are happy. Sierra and Sierra and Banner sailing around the world just like you would hope to, but you know who’s not happy?

Hope hope’s miserable because she, because she misses. And you could, you could fix that. You have another chance. I, there’s no fixing that. It was over a decade ago. Let’s see. So you’re just, what? You’re just meeting’s lap dog now. So some may think it’s selfish of me to keep them all to myself, but I brought him back to life.

And I’ve loved him faithfully all these years. , which is more than anyone else can say, I deserve this. I deserve him.

Dr. Marlena, Evan. Dead virus claims. Third victim. I had no idea that you get sick again, sorry ladies,

but I needed this beauty for myself.

Oh, hey, what are you doing?

What are these women doing here? Oh, they’re here for us though. You see, with their help, you and I are gonna get back all the time that we lost and finally live halfway ever after.

When you got here a few weeks ago, Ralph, I gave you this facility and the plant continues to thrive. You can make limitless amounts of the serum. Quantity is not the issue. Assuming every single is just planned. When the testing process is complete and we are able to administer it, foe and I will be young again and we can start all over from the.

This time he’ll stay and he’ll love me forever and ever and hope will go off of some other poor stop.

Do not try to play me again.

You know, I can stamp your neck in an instant. You could, but you won’t. You can’t. Any more than he could bring yourself to pull the trigger. God, I went into yours.

You’re making sweet just like I was. You still are. Do you want that woman to get away with everything she’s done?

Like you give it down what happens to me? I do.

Course I Care. Harris, we’re not our only victims.

She kill my sister-in-law, Kayla and her brother, Roman’s wife, Kate Roberts, and hi. John Black’s wife. She’s, she’s killed a lot of people I love and care her about greatly.

Why should that matter to me? Because you were so much more than a trained assassin. You are a Navy hero. Before Megan got ahold of you, you were a good man. You were an honorable man, a good and honorable. You forget the fact that I killed two men. That wasn’t you. That wasn’t you. Doesn’t change the fact that that was the brainwashing Harris, you have the chance, the opportunity to get your life back.

To get back what’s real.

Don’t you want that? I wanna help you. Let me, let me help you and then you can help me make sure that Megan never hurts anyone ever again.

I, them, I don’t, I don’t care what Megan did,

didn’t do it for me. Harris,

do it from me.

Good coffee man. We’ll let you know if we hear anything from Hope. Hang here to Roman. Yes, you too.

Damn. A hell of a wind man. Looks like uh, we’re in for storms. Yeah, that’s what they say. Okay. You guys be careful out there. Yeah. All right.

You okay? Oh yeah. Quiet time’s the hardest, I guess. I keep trying to reach out somehow to John and my family. Have to know how much I love them. Oh, I end up picturing in there the pain. Hello. I remember how I breathed for Steve when I thought I’d lost him, went on for years. And to think about our families going through that, well motivate us to get out of here.

That’s what it’s

don’t.

Ms. Brady, is everything all right? Yes, everything is. Perfect. In fact, manager Michaels has agreed to another session with Dr. Brady Donovan and I have a feeling that, uh, he’s gonna be a lot more cooperative this time around.

No, I mean, nobody’s lap dog really. That’s not what it. Like to me, I mean, this is Megan’s idea. This was in your idea. Take her outside and, and, and kill her. Now, I don’t know. It, to me, you just look like a glorified Aaron boy, I pray you’re right. You know as well as anybody that we have to keep our faith right now.

We are going to get out of here. The two of us and Kate, so you think this is the best time to insult me? , I, I, I don’t know. I. It’s just that I’m surprised. I’m really surprised. I wouldn’t think that you would fall in with a two bit wannabe Ste like, Megan, stop, stop, stop. Or what? I mean, you’re gonna shoot me because that’s what Megan expects you to do.

I, I don’t know. I don’t understand where is the boat that, that I knew that was a rebel that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown off this whole lap and taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the flames. I mean, this is not an action movie. This is real life, my life. And yours for the next few seconds anyway.

Fine. That’s fine. I, I just never expected to see you go out this way. I mean, how many times did you take down Megan’s old man I, that though Brady, I did not follow orders, did hated anyone to tell him what to do. That Bo. Right now we think that you’re disgusting that you’re doing something just because someone ordered you to do it.

Someone, my, the likes of Megan’s Hathaway. How about Chris? I want you dead. Do you? Do you really? Because if you do, Pull that trigger. Shoot me.

Did you hear that the deed is done. I heard now you need to get back to work and make some more of that serum so we can test her Marlena and. And if it works, then it had better control. And I will be young and in love, and we will finally have our happily ever after. Ah, it’s done. I know. I heard the gunshot.

I’m very proud of you though. Okay, now look, I’ve got something else that I need for you. I don’t give a damn what you need. I don’t take orders from you, lady. It’s over.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Andrew. Hi Paul. If you’re looking for my dad, uh, he, he’s just left for the airport a few hours ago. Excuse me. Up with your uncle Steve. Yeah, I figured

so. What are you doing here?

I came to see you,

so, uh, vacuuming. Yeah, of course.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man.

Hello ladies. Welcome back to the Land of the Living.

No. Freaking way.

Night. Night. Golden girl.

Is that you? Yeah. Uh, long time. No see.

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

Hey mom, it’s me. Um, can you gimme a call back when you get this? I, uh, what I’d like to hear from? Hello, am I glad to see you. Hey. Ugh. Long day. What was it ever? I’m just leading the courthouse. The jury wanted to stay and deliberate so they could come up with a verdict tonight, which they did. You, okay? Uh, yeah.

I just, I’m, I’m worried about my mom, why I can’t seem to reach her. I called her a bunch of times. I left a message and she hasn’t returned. I just tried again and went straight to voicemail. I’m sure she’s just, Yeah, I hope that’s all it is. Hope Brady. What the hell are you doing here? The same thing you are, I assume.

Looking for Megan Hathaway.

I just can’t believe this. Your life. Yep. How? I mean, it’s just, it’s so wonderful. But how

Megan, the prisons, right? I mean, So we assumed that she wanted the prisons because she wanted her father back, but she wanted you, she wanted to bring you back. Mm-hmm. , she succeeded. Look at me. So you’ve been in presentation the whole time? Yeah. You’ve been here while, I’m so sorry. I, I, but I’m thrilled. I’m thrilled because I ran into you.

She had me imprisoned here too. Really? Yeah. That’s just me. Marlena, your sister. Oh, Kayla. Yeah. Kayla. Kayla. Kayla’s here. And Marlena. I mean, it’s all, I have no idea why she did it, but Megan had all three of us here on ice against Star Wheels.

Oh, no,

I’m sorry. Are you going somewhere? I still can’t believe you’re alive. You know, wait to Kayla sees you. She’s gonna just die. She’s, but you know, she’s, of course she already did die, right? So did I. So did Marlene. It’s all. It’s crazy. Yeah. Look, we have to find them. We have to free them. And then all four of us are gonna get the hell out of here.

Right? Come on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait. Um, we can’t do that.

My dad ran outta here pretty fast when he got that call. Yeah,

he said that Steve had a potential lead on the location of Megan Hathaway. I’m guessing that you gave that to him,

like I’m not asking you to tell me where she is. I just wanna know if you think they have a shot of finding her. Well, come on, man. I mean, we’re talking about the woman that murdered my stepmother. Your, your aunt and, and uncle. Your uncle Roman’s wife. I know, but it’s not my case. And even if it were, I’m not allowed to discuss anything related to top secret information.

Yeah, I get it, Paul. Believe me, I care about this too. It’s personal for both of us, for our families. And while I’m not allowed to disclose anything about the investigation, I can assure you that the ISA is doing everything in its power to get justice for these women. Do you trust me on that?

Good. Because I’d really like to talk about something other than Intel such. us.

I didn’t think, there wasn’t us . I mean, I was just telling my dad that you and I stopped talking to each other. Not that we, you know, had a falling out or anything. I mean, you know, I was just us living on opposite sides of the country. Trying to build a relationship like that is, it’s pretty difficult. And, you know, top of that to my, my coaching schedule and your caseload and, and we just didn’t seem to figure out logistics.

I know, I remember. They, the thing is I’ve missed you.

I missed you too.

Well, did something happen? I mean, do you have some reason to believe your mom’s in trouble? No. No, it’s nothing like that. I’m just frustrated that I can’t get ahold of her. Um, you know, I want coming up there on the Megan Hathaway case. Yeah. Her possible connection to my mother’s death. God, I just can’t believe that this woman that I, I’ve never met, that everyone thought died like 40 years ago.

Come in and upend all of our lives and just cause so much sorrow for so many people. And for what? Some ancient grudge. Yeah. Well, I mean, she’s stepping out the mirror’s daughter. Resurrection and vengeance is what that family does best. Yeah. Taking wives away from their husbands and mothers away from their daughters is just, Hey, you know that Megan’s not gonna get away with this.

Especially a black patch on a case. Yeah, I know. That does make me feel better knowing that my dad and Steve are out searching for that murderous bitch.

This is, uh, John, look at you, girl. Oh, Steve. Steve, I’m good to see you. I can’t believe you guys. I can’t believe you’re here. No. Well, we. , we heard that this is where Megan Hathaway was hiding out. Yeah. That she came here after Caracas last July. Yeah. But the ISA only recently discovered that and they’ve kept a top secret.

So how’d you find it outta Shane? Well, we didn’t, but the person we did pry it out of took a little convincing, especially considering what Megan did to us last summer. Yeah. See, the agency thought that maybe we were still under her control, but we’re definitely. But I got a question for you. How did you find out where to look for Megan?

You know, luckily she didn’t mess with my head. So the agency didn’t have the same concerns really. Well that, uh, Intel is still highly classified. I mean, you couldn’t just walk in and get that information unless you got it from Shane. Well, let’s, let’s just say I still have a few friends in high place.

That’s why don’t we? But hey guys, I. No matter how we all got here, I’m so happy to see you both right back at you. Hope we opened that door. The last thing we expected to see was a friendly face, especially one as pretty as you . Steve, you look like you were ready for a fight. , I had one way or another, we’re gonna take half the way down and if it’s gonna be the hard way, so be after what she did to you.

I don’t blame you. That woman deserves what’s coming her way. Well, The fact is it isn’t just about what she did to us.

We should have known that you were gonna show up. I mean, how would we think we were gonna wake up from the dead without you? How indeed you may express your thanks at any time. Don’t hold your breath. So now you’re in league with Megan Hathaway. Hmm. Oh, surely that doesn’t surprise. Well bit you would take directions from somebody who was evil and unhinged.

No, it does not surprise me. I serve as a pleasure as a Demer family. Aunt Megan is a dememer. She’s a daughter of a man who caused pain and suffering to everybody he ever met. Untrue certain. Dara has a legend lost to us far too soon. It is now my duty, honor and privilege to carry on some issues of his progeny.

I shall. Her wish, as they say, is my command. Look, we don’t really have time to wait, okay? No. Oh, did you? Did you hear what I said? Kayla and Marlena, they’re both here somewhere, so Yeah, I heard you, but we can’t leave. If you are worried about Megan, there’s no problem there. She’s incapacitated. What do you mean?

I mean that she had me tied up. She was trying to inject me with some kind of drug, so I punched her in the jaw and I knocked her out. But she could come too anytime. So we need to go Where, where did this happen? Right on the other side of this door, right before I ran into to you. So the love of God.

Let’s get out of here. Um, sorry, but we have to go that way. No. No, we don’t. It’s way too risky. Nope. Don’t have a choice.

I know it didn’t turn out so well for us the last time. Ended up devolving into a bunch of texts about when we could possibly meet up and all the times that we couldn’t. Right. But even when we lost touch, I, I couldn’t stop thinking about last summer meeting you for the first time traveling around the world together, trying to find your dad.

Yeah. It’s not often a, on our first date where we end up in a shared hotel room in Hong Kong. , I’ve never been happier to return someone’s gym clothes , when she could probably tell Yeah. When we kissed . Yeah. Yeah. I, I could,

you know, I thought about that kiss many times. You know, it felt like, uh, it felt like the start of something. Sometimes when I’m sitting at my desk working late, I think about that moment and now I wish we could go back to him.

Maybe we could,

have you heard anything from your dad since you left? No, not yet, but I’m sure I’ll call when there’s an update. Well, knowing your dad and my uncle. Your phone’s gonna be ringing real soon. There aren’t two people on this planet more motivated to find Megan. Yeah, I wish I could do what they’re doing and just throw myself into the search and then give myself away to take my mind off all this grief, you know, in a way that’s productive.

But you know, even if they do find Megan and she does end up behind bars forever, it doesn’t really change anything for me. What do you mean? I mean, no matter how much Megan pays or Orpheus pays, I don’t get what I want. More time. My mom. Where the hell is Megan? And what has she done with Kate? Such anger.

You’re damn right. We’re angry and we’re worried about our friend. You didn’t be really. Why is that? Because she’s been given a great honor. Thanks to her contribution, I will be able to determine if my scientific genius has been successful yet again. And what contribution is that? Well, due to our doctors as well.

Certainly you are familiar with the concept of a test subject. Yeah. But in legitimate medicine, a test subject, volunteers. I’m pretty certain that Kate did not volunteer to help you. Well, actually she was fortunate enough to be chosen. As I said, it is a rare and coveted opportunity. What? Kate will be the very first recipient of my new.

What serum is that?

You think Megan’s the one who stole the orchid? Yes, and it was the only thing that could have occurred. Kayla, Marlene and Kate Hathaway is responsible for their deaths. What I.

Oh, dear God, I’m so sorry.

I’m, I’m in shock. I’m so sorry. I,

I can’t even imagine what you’ve both been going through. I make behind it

all these years, she’s still causing so much destruction and pain to the people I love. I’m. Well, she’s obviously just as vindictive and deranged as she ever was. It all started with her obsession with Bo. You know,

here’s the thing. All the doors in this place, they flock automatically. It’s, it’s like this. You go into a room or whatever and door closes behind you, and it’s locked. Okay. Well, I was just able to let myself out of this room, so, oh, well. When is a door, not a door? When it’s a jar, it must have been open a little bit.

What are you trying to tell me? That, that we’re not gonna be able to get out of here? No, we just, we have to go back in there and get Megan’s. Okay, fine. Let’s just do it. Okay.

Well, there she is, right where I left her. What’d you do to her? Exactly what I told you. I knocked her out. Let’s get those keys and get out of here,

Megan. Hey, wake up. Okay. Just nevermind her. Just get the. Good job. She’s out cold. Yeah, it is good. So good. Get look at her pocket, Megan. Oh, look at her pocket. Let I, I’ll do it. Stay where you are. You said that we needed to get the keys to escape, so let’s just shut up and stay where you are. Hey Megan again.

Can you hear me? Hey, time to wake.

What happened? Hmm? You got cold caught.

Oh, you all right?

I think so. No thanks to her. Yeah, I think she’s figuring out that she got played

I don’t have to tell you what it’s like doing it. No, no you don’t. Not that I wouldn’t get how terribly difficult this is for you anyway, but um, I mean, having gone through this with my dad, I know how much you still miss him. You know, he’d be really proud of you, of everything you’ve accomplished. I mean, you dedicated your entire life to protecting people and not just family and friends, but everybody.

You honor him every day by doing that. I know there, I can’t help but think about all the things that he’s missed out. I mean like another chance with my mom seeing Claire grow up, not being able to spend time with Sierra and her new baby, all the family milestones, birthdays, holidays, and all the ones yet to come.

Yeah, they should both be with us. Your dad and my mom. There’s a day that goes by that I don’t think about him, but. I made peace with the fact that he’s gone. And I think that a big part of being able to do that is that, is that I understand it. I mean, yeah, his death was terrible and it was tragic, but, but it made sense.

And what happened with your mom? It made no sense at all. I’m so sorry, bill. I would do anything to give you more time with your mom. And I would give anything to be able to help you with this pain.

What serum are you talking about? The details are not for me to disclose. Well then who should we ask? You should direct any inquiries regarding the serum to Madame Hask. But trust me when I tell you, it could be life changing or not. Just for her. What is that supposed to mean? Most people get over their high school sweethearts, not her.

Megan never did. So this all goes back to Megan and Bo going steady in high school. Yeah. She thought that Bo had broken up with her and he thought that she had done the same to him, but in fact, neither were true. So what happened? Megan’s mother, she caused the breakup. She manipulated both of them. And when Megan found out she lost it, she, she’s, something broke inside of her.

That’s when she became obsessed with ball and desperate, really desperate to get him back. Are you sure you’re all. Yeah, I’m, I’m fine, but would you just mind helping me out?

Okay.

Back in business.

Look at her like a deer in the headlights. Stunned silence. No, she wouldn’t shut up earlier to hold it. Hold it.

You’re not going anywhere.

What’s wrong? Um, nothing. Nothing. I, I’m just wondering, maybe, maybe this is, maybe this is not a good idea. Do you not want to No, no. I, I do. I I definitely do. But i’s just like what we just talked about, you know, we tried this before and it didn’t work out. I dunno, maybe we’re just setting ourselves up for more disappointment.

I see your point. Well, I, I, I, it’s like we really had, I mean, we really do. We have such a strong connection and, and I would love to see where that takes us. But the last time around, I mean, finding time for each other was such an impossibility. I don’t know, maybe, maybe we should just be smarter if we just cut our, cut our losses now.

Mm. And before we get in too deep. Probably right? I mean, we live so far apart. Our lives are so busy. I mean, there’s a really good chance that this won’t work, but there’s a chance that it might, it’s a chance I’d like to take. Would you.

So your serum is meant to be life changing and not just for Megan. So who else’s life is it going to change? So many questions. And did the answers have anything to do with that? Is Marlina Wright is it also gonna change the life of whoever the former occupant of that tube? Ah, yes. Well, my earliest prototypes, the technology was far more limited back then on, yet it was a very successful project.

Successful how I was able to keep the subject in a cryogenic state for nearly a decade. A decade. Who was it? Who was your subject?

Put down the gun. You’re not going anywhere. Come up. We’re both going somewhere. We’re leaving. Push me. You’ll regret it. I wouldn’t test him if I were you. Look, I, I don’t know what she put you through. Look, clearly you have been through something and you don’t even know what you’re saying. You. You have to trust me.

Okay? I’m on your side. Let me help you. Please

go. We’re not strangers. Okay. We’re, we’ve known each other for years. We’re a family. I was married to Victor. You were married to my daughter. Bo doesn’t need a history lesson, so stop babbling so that we can pick it up where we left off before you so rudely assaulted me and. Phase two will finally begin.

Don’t listen to her. Don’t listen to her. We’ll ditch her and we’ll get out of here. We’ll be free and we can go back to our homes and to the people that we love. Bo I find your lack of gratitude. Very disappointing. God, what do you want me to be grateful for? For what you did to me. I saved your life, didn’t I?

And now I’ve chosen you to be the initial recipient of my new serum. Well, I choose not to be the recipient of a pable fatal drug. Okay. Oh, relax. It might not kill you, but it does need to be tested so it stop wasting time and get on with it. Now, where is that vile?

You mean this?

You know, we really don’t give a damn what Megan’s motivation is. We just want to track her down and make her pay. So, looks like you’ve got a headstart on us. Did you find anything poking around here? I have searched every inch of this labyrinth and, uh, there’s no sign of her. So indication where she might have gone, nothing.

Nothing If there’s a affording address, she did not leave it lying around. Damn, damn well, partner. Looks like it might hit a dead end here. Dead end. What are you talking about? There’s no dead end. There’s gotta be a way to figure out where Megan went. Yep.

You are absolutely right. I missed you. Maybe there is.

Thank you for always knowing exactly what to say. No, I, I don’t always. Don’t even think I do most of the time . I just think that I do in this case because you know, I’ve been there and if there’s something that I can tell you, it’s that you’re never gonna stop missing them. But time, time definitely helps, you know, although there are days that I will feel the loss of my dad, so it’s a cute thing.

It’s like, it just happened yesterday. And then there are other days that I remember all the fun times I had with him now that we had, you know, and think about all the funny things that he’d say and times that he’d tell me that he loves me and that he’s proud of me and that definitely it makes things less painful.

Yeah, right. You know, another thing that. Hmm. So when I remind myself just how blessed I am to be able to share my life with someone like you, someone so kind and so wonderful, who I just happen to love with all my heart, I love you with all my heart too, and I need you so much right now. You have me now.

You have me now, and you have me always.

And do you know what else we need to remind ourselves of? Mm-hmm. , not only do we have each other, got an incredible daughter. Yeah. We’ve got a great big family to lean on.

And now

I’m officially off the clock. I said, what do you say? We go home and we lean on each. On the couch. That sounds really good.

That was perfect.

Ah, exactly the words I was looking for. So can we talk about what happens next? Well, I was thinking.

No. No. , no. Do we discuss where we go from here? Yeah. Yeah. We probably should, but not, right? No, I just wanna enjoy this perfect moment with you.

It’s all right. Get it.

Donovan? Yeah. Pat your through

hope. What can I do for you? I need a favor. I need to go to see Harris Michaels.

We know that you kept Stephan Damara on ice for four years, but a decade. That’s quite a feat, don’t you? Thank Marta. Yes, I do. It’s quite remarkable. Mm-hmm. . So the person must have been very important. Yeah. I’m just, I’m just so curious. I can’t stop thinking about who it might be. I can’t stop thinking about it either.

I mean, it could be, but No, that’s silly. Now what are you thinking? Well, I’m just thinking that maybe what if it’s, uh, somebody famous? You mean like a world leader or a rockstar or a Hollywood legend? Maybe an athlete? You know, I did hear a while back that there was a baseball player who was Cryogenically frozen.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, maybe. Maybe we’re on the wrong track. Maybe it’s somebody who was, I don’t know, closer to home, maybe somebody from Salem, somebody that we all. Yeah. What about that Ro? Somebody we all knew. Somebody close to Salem. I didn’t say anything, but nice try. If I went in such a hurry to complete my experiment, I’d stay and applaud your creativity.

We don’t need your applause. We’d just like to know who was in that tube. And we are pretty. Wasn’t Stefano because you took his essence and put it in Steve. Another hugely successful experiment of mine ruined by stefano’s well meaning, but misguided children for a tremendous loss. When Chad and Tony destroys that microchip, you can lament it later.

Just tell us who it was for the last time. Tell us who was in the tub.

Hand it over. Do you really think that you’re gonna be able to make it out of here without Bo shooting you dead? Or perhaps you think that another pathetic speech about how the two of you used to be family is gonna change his mind. Oh, please give it. You heard the man,

whatever kinship the two of you used to have, it’s long over. I’ll stop wasting time and let’s get on with it.

Time.

That was stupid. Really not allowing you to make me your personal Guinea pig. I think it was one of my smarter moves. How typically arrogant and ignorant of you. Congratulating yourself when you’ve just made one of the most idiotic decisions ever. How’s that? The only reason that I was keeping you alive was to make sure that that serum worked.

Now that it’s gone, you’re of no further use to me,

no point in drawing this out any. You may as well go ahead and kill her.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yep.

Okay. Send him.

Uncle Steve

desk job. Huh? Who’d you piss off? Nice to see you too. I, not to seem too hostile or anything, but what the hell are you doing here? Why do you think I’m. I need your help to find Megan Hathaway,

my dear ladies, your whole family still PS you’re dad, but I don’t want you to sleep your whole life away. Once again, it’s time to wake up. We have so much to do,

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

Hey, Robert Lucas. Now I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out why you wanted to see me again.

We can take it by your attitude that this is not a social cult. No, it isn’t. We found out which Demaris told the orchid and. It was step’s. Daughter, why would Kristen take the orchid from herself? Not that daughter. His other daughter made an Hathaway, who’s that? Well, you might have forgotten her because she appeared to die 40 years ago, how Salem offered to appear to die.

Yeah, Larry Wells killed and, uh, stuck her in a hot tub and proceeded to zap it with electricity. It’s pretty thorough. You would think so, but you know how hard it is to kill Dira. And in true Dira form, Stefano took the body and maintained it in life form cryogenic. But now she is very much alive, fully functioning, and totally lethal.

Where is she now? That’s a million dollar question, John. Steve looking and I am here. To find out what you might know.

You know, dad, ah, you need to tell you about this new device that came out with, it’s called a phone. Sorry. Did you show up like this kid? No, it’s fine. It’s a bit surprised. That’s all.

How you doing? About as well as can be expected, I guess.

If it’s hard for me to believe she’s gone, it must be hell for you.

You okay?

Yeah. I forgot how much you love to talk about your feelings. Don’t really see any point in talking about I’m not gonna change anything. Right. Hey, but you know what though? The good thing is, you know, I, I really wanted to stay on in, in Salem after the funeral on. Yeah, well you got a chance to coach Triple A.

You can’t pass that up. So how’s it going up pretty well, actually, here’s the thing, uh, we’re starting a, a home stand. Three games. So don’t you stay around for a couple days, coach my coaching. We’ll see.

Why do I get the feeling that you didn’t come out here to talk about baseball? Because I didn’t. You on a case, Steve and I are you. Look, we ought to sit.

You have to know that finding Ms. Hathaway is one of the agency’s top priorities. Wow. Agency speak, getting real good at that. The thing is, this isn’t my case, but I can’t put you in touch with the agent in charge. Well, if I wanted to talk to the agent in charge, I wouldn’t be in your office. Now, remember when we spoke on the phone a few days ago, I got the distinct feeling that you were giving me the runaround.

So I’m here face to face to get some answers. Steve, it’s not that I won’t answer your questions. I can’t.

Are you awake too? Oh, I was having a nightmare. I think we’re actually living one. Yeah, it trumps it. Megan was holding this captain and we didn’t know why. Well, I don’t think we have time to find out. We need to get outta here. Here I, I’m okay. Why don’t you help Kate? Damn. What is it? She’s gone. How could she be

here? Go. What the hell are you smiling at? I’m happy because phase two. Is finally about to begin.

What? What is going on? Why am I tied up? Where am Marlena and Kayla? Okay, I, who the hell do you think you are? Does it not compute that you are the one who’s tied up? And I am not? That you’re not in a position of power and that I am, perhaps it would be wise of you to at least try not to infuriate me. I didn’t realize you were so fragile.

Not at all. I just think that life is short and we should all try to get along as best we can. Okay. Okay. Remind if I. Uh, would you be so kind as to tell me where Marlena and Kayla are and if they are okay. The doctors, Evans and Johnson are absolutely fine. , see your idea of absolutely fine. And mine are probably not the same.

They ain’t dead. How’s that? Has anyone ever told you that you’re a complete pain in the. Well, your father thought I was absolutely delightful, but then again, he had a sense of humor. , is that what you think it was now? I have something very important to discuss with you. No, I do not wanna talk about anything with you.

You need to get me and Marlena and Kayla back home and to our husbands.

I didn’t even know there was a Megan Hathaway. How, how would I know anything about her? Well, we didn’t know that. We thought maybe your mom had mentioned something when she and uh, Stephanie were married. No, I would’ve remembered. I, I would’ve said so. I would’ve said something as soon as Oria said that, that a DIR stole the orchid who effectively killed my mother.

Yeah, I know that. Look, Lucas we’re, Glassman saw us here. John and Steve are in touch with the isa, but it seems at this point that Megan has just vanished into thin air. Stephanie could do that too, right? Yeah. Well, I think the two of them have lots in common. What I don’t get is why would a woman who’s been, I don’t know, dead for 40 years, why would she come back and try to kill my.

My mom didn’t even know her. I’m telling you, I’m telling you. When my mom was married to Stefano, I never once heard either of ’em say the the name Megan Mali. I don’t think Kate was a real target from what I configured. The bitch was after Kayla and Myla.

You think Kate really found a way out here and left us behind? Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that she looked after number one. No. No, it wouldn’t. If Kate found a way out of here, she must have done it with some planning. Don’t you think that Megan wouldn’t have security cameras everywhere? Who knows?

Locked? Of course it is. But if Kate got out of here, she would not have locked the door behind. So Megan must have done that. Yeah. I’m getting really tired of this. Megan Hathaway. Yeah. Yeah. She kept talking about her plan. I, I wonder if maybe Kate was part of that plan. Oh, we have gotta find a way out of here.

Are you gonna.

Another cryogenic cylinder.

So who the hell was in here?

So you think Andrew can help you track down Megan Hathaway? Oh, that’s what we’re hoping. So he didn’t mention anything to you off the cuff about her? No. You want a beer? I’m gonna have a beer. Don’t take this personally here. He’s not trying to shut you out. ISA agents can’t really bring their work home with him.

Hell, it’s not like that. Yeah. And what’s it like? Nothing. Yeah. Angie and I aren’t really talking to each other about. And that’s it.

If you have any idea where Megan Hathaway is, which I think you do, I don’t understand why you won’t tell me. You and John don’t have clearance. We don’t have clearance. Do you have any idea how long John and I have been doing the agency’s dirty work? Just ask your father how many times we put our lives on the line and then tell me we don’t have clearance.

I don’t have to ask my father. I grew up on the. And everyone here knows and respects your history. Oh, my history. Listen now we’re trying to find the woman responsible for the death of our wives, and you tell me we don’t have clearance. Why the hell not? Because there’s a concern that you and John have been compromised.

And it’s not like Andrew and I had a falling out. Hmm. You just said that you and Andrew aren’t talking to each other. About anything, so, so how is that not a falling out? No, I mean that we didn’t get in a big fight or anything and it wasn’t that we didn’t get along. We did, we’re getting along. That sounds pretty tepid.

So in other words, what? No heat. Dad. Oh dad, what? Come on. You told me when you two in Hong Kong, there was a lot of chemistry there. So what happened? He comes here to visit. What? The movie doesn’t live up to the preview. Okay. What happened was, we had a great time together and we thought we could make it work, but then reality checked in.

He lives in dc I live here. He’s got a demanding job. I’m transitioning to become a coach. You know, long distance relationships, they involve, well, a lot of logistics. I see. And it’s, it’s too hard for a couple middle-aged farts to make adjustments, not middle-aged Well, you know, the way he could’ve fooled.

Come on, you got a secret agent, you’ve got a superstar athlete, and you two act like a couple of insurance adjusters. So you know, you, you’re fine. You, you sit here, you sit here all alone, and you just keep convincing yourself that logistics are too complicated to be with someone who could actually make you happy.

How do you really feel about it?

Compromise. Huh? What the hell’s that supposed to? It means the last summer in Hong Kong, you were Megan Hathaway’s hired muscle. We weren’t hired, we were brainwashed, and it was pretty effective. You held a whole room hostage. You put a gun to Wendy Shin’s head. We were under Megan Hathaway’s. Control. And how does anyone know that you’re not now?

Oh, you think John and I are sleeper? I don’t, but some very important people in the organization have reservations, so now my partner and I are in the impossible position of having to prove a negative. You said you don’t believe it. Why? Because I was there when Paul broke through to John and broke Megan’s spell.

While I understand your desire to get back to Salem and your dreary little lives, I’m afraid I can’t accommodate you. As I said, phase two is about to begin and your participation is non-negotiable.

what does that even. I didn’t even know there was a phase one and now apparently it’s all over. You don’t need to know you. Marlena and Kayla are just chest pieces on the board pawns in someone else’s game. Okay, I so are Roman, John and Steve. Are they paws as well? Is that why they believe we’re all dead?

They believe you’re all dead because someone took the only thing that could have saved your.

Damn look, actually I think it’s quite beautiful.

So was Kayla and Marlene who put the kibosh? When Megan’s big plant Katie had nothing to do with she telling me my mom died for no good reason. Yeah, it feels that way and that’s why we have to find Megan to make her pay for what she did. It’s not gonna bring my mom back. You think? I don’t know. I’m sorry.

I know this has been hard for you too. How are you doing? Want me to lie to you? Tell you I’m doing okay. I can see you’re not okay. I want you to tell me the truth. Well, I got lots of people looking out for me. Abe came over the other day and, uh, told me how he fell when he lost Lexi, and how he thought he’d never fall in love.

I knew I meant well, but, uh, all does. Lets, uh, remind me how much time your mom and I wasted and how damn happy we were when we got back together. And now I have to face the fact that I will never see her again. And I am very sure that John and Steve feel exactly the same way.

Look, it’s power down and the locks have been released. There’s no one in there. Now. Whoever was in there, Megan had to have let them go. Well, I’m no expert, but it looks like that is a lot older than these are. Then you heard what Megan said. She never throws anything away. She also told Steve and John that she was cryogenically frozen after she was supposedly.

So maybe that’s where she was stashed. And what about the prisms? She said she wanted those to help cure someone. She cared about someone we all thought was dead. And who was it who was in the tube? Oh God. I think I know.

I know it’s not exactly the same, and I know I don’t have any right telling you this right now, but the way you feel about my mom is exactly the way I feel about Sammy. Sammy’s not good. Yeah, I know, but I’m pretty much as good as dead to her. She’ll never forgive me. I’ve never loved anyone the way I loved her, and I’ll never have a chance to get her back.

I, I know I blew that. You’re not always wrong, and I know she’ll never forgive me, and I know you’ll never forgive me. That’s why I’m really appreciative that you come here and you talk to me and you tell me what’s going on. I know that I don’t deserve it.

Well, you know what? You won’t get a big argument from me on that, but the thing is, You’re Kate son. She did forgive you and she did love you. And I am thinking, Lucas, that in a way you and I talking to each other this way is a good way to honor your mom’s memory. So that’s the orchid. The orchid. When I got you here, you were all at death’s store.

How else do you think I was able to revive you? I had to use the orchid to count of the effects of the toxin that Orpheus gave you. Kind of weird thinking about your life being dependent. A flower. I had someone prepare and administer the necessary second. That is why you’re still here.

This flower’s healing power. It’s not restricted to what ailed the three of you. I took it because I needed to remedy my own condition. And that of someone who is very dear to me,

Ste. You think it was Ste? Well, what if Megan was just keeping him on ice and now she has the three prisms and, and she’s thinking that what the Phoenix may rise. Well, you know what? I have a second thought. Even if that man’s body was able to be preserved, he would just be a shell, his, his spirit, his soul, as if he had one.

You know, he did have one, but it was evil and destructive, and it was taken from his body in the form of a microchip, and it was put in Steve’s head, and then I was able to remove it. And then Chad and. Burned it. Okay. Then Stefano is gone. Stefano is dead. He has to be,

my wife is dead and John’s wife is dead because of Megan. Now, how could you people think that we’d be helping her? I told. I don’t think that, and I know how much you loved on Kayla. I did too. I don’t want justice for her as much as you do. Don’t talk to me about justice. My Kayla is gone and the agency has decided that we can’t be trusted with clearance and you are gonna play it to the agency.

Okay, that’s fine. We’re gonna keep looking for her and we’re gonna find her. Whether you help us or not

good, you just get back to your busy work

and say hello to your dad for me. Uncle Steve,

I just pulled up our file on Megan Hathaway because I have clearance. I can view it whenever I want. I’m just not at liberty to share it with you. But what I can do is offer you a cup of government issue, coffee, and it’s a coffee station at the end of the hall. Would you like a cup of coffee and take me maybe three, four minutes?

Yeah, I’d like a cup of coffee. Thank you. It’s the least I can do.

You. Sorry kid, I didn’t mean that. Shouldn’t have said anything. It’s really none of my business.

Saved by the bell. I gotta take this.

Yeah. What’s up? I might have a possible location on Megan Hathaway. It’s a long shot, but right now it’s our only shot. So how fast can you get to the airport? You know, I don’t think we have to worry too much about who was in that tube, because right now I think that Megan has Kate, and if that’s. I think things are gonna start changing pretty fast around here, and we better be getting out while we still can.

Agreed. We need to find a way through that door from the look of it. We’re not gonna break it down. I think that we just have to start getting smart about this.

I, I, I could give you a ride to the airport. Oh, I’m fine, thanks. Or you could get two tickets to wherever it is you’re going. You know that place? That’s your only shot. Just a figure of speech. Oh, come on dad. We were just in a heated discussion about my failed love life and how I’m basically screwing life up in general, and then Steve calls and what You’re outta here.

So I know it’s important. I know it’s urgent and it’s probably dangerous, so let me help you. Let me come with you. No, because Steve and Eric, we just need to do this on our.

All right, but please be careful. I don’t wanna have to fly halfway around the world to save your ass again. I’m never gonna hear the end of that, am I? No.

Listen about before I’m. I’m sorry, I I had no right to talk to you like that. I was really outta line. Do you really think that? I don’t get that. It must be damn frustrating when you’ve lost Marlena and to, to see me all alone and apparently not doing anything about it. But still, it, it’s, it’s none of my business.

You’re my dad. And as much as I hate to admit it, you got a point. So you and I were cool. Okay. You’ve got enough on your plate without worrying about. Okay, thanks. I gotta run. Good. Okay. Well, uh, you know, just, just let me know when you’re o when you’re okay. When you have the time. I can’t help. I, I just worry about you.

Good luck this weekend.

Okay, well, I’m gonna check in with, uh, John, Steve, see if they’re having any luck. Just keep me busted first. Hurt while, alright,

so you said that you had to use it to remedy your own condition. Are you sure you really did that? Cause you’re not looking so.

The lighting’s not very good in here. I’m fine. You know, I could have let you die,

You expect me to. Thank you. Uh, oh. Maybe I should have sent you a fruit basket when I get home, but then I’m again, to do that I would need your address, so, so what’s it gonna be? Is it gonna be a cell at Statesville or a padded room at Bayview? You know, you really are a pain in the ass. Which erases any hesitation that I might have had to proceed?

What do you mean I’m going to use you as a Guinea pig? You see, someone has made me a little serum. Only it came with a caveat. What doesn’t make me stronger might in fact kill me, and I don’t see any reason that I should take that risk, not when I have you here to do a trial run on.

This, please. Like a damn labyrinth. Yep. Been switching these hallways for. Almost an hour no sign. Megan Hathaway was ever here. Well, the ISA analyst put the probability at 12%. These aren’t good odds partner. That’s the only lead we got. You know the agency checked it out before, maybe they missed something.

You don’t wanna stop, do you buddy? We’re not gonna stop till we find that woman in Baker Bay.

Guys mock up. You gonna turn, lock pick on you on, man? You said you were bringing yours ia, security confiscated. Oh, okay. So now what do you,

what’s. A nice little cocktail that someone whipped for me. I have it on good authority that you and my dearly departed brother Andre, had an affinity from martinis. Shaken, not injected. You are right. I am not yet fully recovered from being well, you know.

And I’m told that this could be the answer to my prayers. Well then why not use it on yourself rather than waving around near me, because while it may take care of whatever it is that I need, it does come with the one-off chance of an unpleasant side effect. Well, I suggest that you try something homeopathic first, then I’m more inclined to do a trial run on you.

You see, look at the kill you. It could potentially have very extraordinary effects. Something that you’ll thank me for later, and if it does happen to kill you, who knows? Maybe someone will bring you back to life again. Right?

Oh my. And you’ve been at that forever. Maybe we should try something else. Ah, ah, I got it.

You think that’s going to get us out of here? You know, when you pointed to the chamber, it reminded me of a date that I had with Steve where we talked all about how to pick a lock. So I got him to teach me. And you know, it, it’s actually pretty simple if you have a wire. What like a, like a bobby pin? No, no.

Nine times outta 10, those will break. You need something industrial like from a, a heating or cooling unit, like, like this, uh, cryogenic chamber. Well, let’s just hope that Steve taught you. Well, man. Kathy’s not the heating unit around the corner. Nice.

Before you do whatever you’re going to do to me, can I, can I at least say something? Final last words. Make it snappy. It’ll be short. Just a sentence. Okay. What is it? The rope on my hand wasn’t tight. Stop it.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man. Click.

Oh, I miss you. I haven’t heard your voice in a while, but if there’s a way for you to reach out to me again, I know you’ll make that happen. I love you.

Night. Night, golden Girl.

Andrew. Hi Paul. Well, if you’re looking for my dad, uh, he, he’s just left for the airport a few hours ago. He’s meeting up with your uncle Steve. Yeah, I figured.

So then what are you doing here? I came to see you,

so, uh, yeah. Come in. Ah, yeah, of course.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man. I heard a click.

Hello ladies. Welcome back to the Land of the Living.

No. Freaking way.

Night. Night. Golden girl.

Is that you? Yeah. Uh, long time. No see.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You didn’t push your plate away without eating anything. I’m gonna take that as a good sign. Take it any way you want, Gabby. I will do anything. Anything to get back in your good grace. Well, it’s gonna take a lot more than scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs with Teresa, and I’m a patient man. After six months, I’m gonna wait on time.

We need to cut it down on these fattening breakfasts, if you remember. I do have other talents.

I’m gonna get going now. Where are you off to? Well, why don’t you just track my phone and you’ll figure it out yourself? I’m assuming you turned it off. Right. Wouldn’t want to keep Stephan waiting.

I heard you talking to the old man when I came in asking for more words of wisdom on how to screw me over. I wouldn’t try playing the Mato. You can’t pull that off. I know what you mean. Of course you do. We were in this very room when I told you that I knew what Rolfe and Kristen were doing to you, and I kept silent.

You thanked me for being honest and then assured me that you could get past that as long as I made sure that you or my partner in the running of the company, I upheld my half of the bargain. You responded by dragging me. Hmm. Well, after we made that agreement, I had some time to think. And I remembered all the months that you spent watching me make a fool of myself over Chloe.

And you kept your mouth shut. I was breaking Gabby’s heart. And you knew why, but you didn’t give a damn. So you tried to make me look incompetent in front of way shin last night. Every word you said prior to that about forgiveness, about working together was a lie, wasn’t it? This is all, damn right. It is.

I beg your pardon? Hmm. Oh yeah. You heard me? I. I spent last night shagging, Alex, Kiki. I know I hurt you and you wanna get back at me, but you might want to come up with something I might actually believe. Do you think I’m lying? Yeah, I do. You know, there’s no love loss between Alex and me, and you’re just trying to stick it to me, right?

Wow. You really do think that you are God’s gift, don’t you? Well, Sorry to burst your bubble, darling, but Alex did stick it to me all night long. In fact,

how exactly did I ruin your career? You know exactly what you did. Lady below my whistle, uh, it’s lady whistleblower, if you don’t mind. Unless you’re extending an invitation, pigs will fly first. Leo. Now, because of you and your stupid little column, I didn’t get made. C e o of Titan. Do you know what I do to guys like you?

I’d love to find out. Let me give you a hint When I’m through with you, you will not be able to whistle anything.

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

Do you want me to show you the contract you signed? Do you want to see the clause that says if you commit adultery during our six month trial period, our deal is off? That’s not necessary. Is a mid-morning role in the hay really worth losing your chance to run DER Enterprises? I said I agree to the terms.

I won’t be sleeping with anybody or Stephan until this farce of a marriage is over. Means seven and I waited four long years. We can wait another six months, especially if it means that we’ll be running to mayor together. You sound more determined than ever. You catch on quick. Now get out of my way.

What are you doing here? Oh and a pleasant good morning to you too.

I thought we were going to draw a line across the past and forge a new relationship. Yeah. That was you, but you never had any intention in doing that. You were counting on me to trust you long enough to allow you to strike if I knew that you had been brainwashed and I kept my mouth. , would you really believe me if I told you things would be different from here on out?

Probably not.

We are both his sons. After all, you know, I have to give you credit for slipping me that drug he used. I really didn’t understand what was happening to me. Now, don’t be so modest. You figured out exactly what was going on. And you flipped the script, just like a move on that chessboard over there. Now it’s my turn to play,

so I tell you that I’m not over Sarah, and you seek out my cousin to get revenge.

If only your brain were as massive as you. Ego zander, Alex, being related to you, had nothing to do with what happened. We met and had a few too many, and then I asked him to come home with me. That’s it. Classic. Oh, you wanna talk to me about morality? Really you, you do know that Alex is just using you right?

To what end? Well, he was in the mood and you were there. You know he is shagged half the girls in town. Since he came back to Salem, you was just another notch on his bed quote. Really? What should I do then? Should I go have a little cry? Should I, don’t you confuse me with Sarah? No, it’ll never happen. You know what?

We really hit it off. We were in bed all night long together. I didn’t even think about you. One. I know that’s a tough act. It’s what you pull when you don’t have anything else. Look, credit. Alex is a player. He always has been. I don’t, I just don’t wanna see him hurt you. Oh, but you’ve got no bloody problem hurting yourself, do you?

Can we dial this back a notch? No, no. I like it dialed right where it is. All I did was ask your uncle to gimme a quote for my column. I didn’t know he was thinking of naming you. C e o. My uncle’s the most powerful guy in this town, Leo and ya PR in and told him how I got it on with two women. How did you think that was gonna turn out for me?

He gave my job to his wife. I know Chad told me I couldn’t believe. I thought Maggie Horton curio skillset was baking cookies and butting into other people’s business. Well, now she can add running a major corporation to her resume. And that’s because of you. Would it change things if I told you I was very, very sorry.

I wanted my very first column to be clickbait. You’re lucky I don’t use you as bait. Does that mean you’re no longer feeling homicidal?

I’m gonna make you a deal. Tell me where to sign. Keep my name outta your mouth and out of your little column, and maybe I will let you live.

Hey, trip. Hey, Wendy. What are you doing there? You left without having breakfast this morning. And how do you know You usually make the coffee? Well, yeah, I overslept. I was Ryan late. Yeah, I figured it was that. I was afraid you’d get lightheaded when talking to a patient or something. Wow. You didn’t have to do this.

Yeah, I did feel bad that you got in trouble here. That was not your fault. Hey, if anyone should feel guilty, it’s Johnny. Your boyfriend needs to learn to mind his own damn business.

Come on in. You’re here pretty early, aren’t you? Gabby and I were just having breakfast. Oh, I’m sorry. I can come back later if you want. Oh, don’t worry about it. Breakfast is over Unless you want Ali to whip you up some of his famous eggs. No, I, I had something. Thanks. Uh, I just, just came by to see Wendy.

She was up and uh, out pretty early. I think she was headed to the office. Actually, she told me she was gone to the hospital. Is she all right? Oh yeah. She said she had to talk to Tripp. I guess the two of them have gotten pretty close since he moved in here.

Is this doctored? No, I had a cup from the very same pole, and I’m just supposed to. Take your word on that. I found out you were drugging me. What did you expect me to do? Forgive him for death. I wonder what our father would say if he knew that you fell in with a creep like Lee Shin against your own brother.

If you’d ever met Father, you wouldn’t ask that question. My mother told me plenty about him. How is dear Vivian finding ways to occupy herself at Statesville?

She told me he wasn’t without his faults, but that he put family above everything else. And where was your sense of family values when you seduced Chad’s wife, you really want to go there? They weren’t married when I had my affair with Abigail, and she was also right in the mind measure. Rest in peace.

Well, for what it’s worth, what happened with me and Abigail. I’m not proud of it. I know what it is to regret your actions and what you did to me and Gabby that on your list of regrets. Absolutely. In fact, I thought Roe and Lee, what they did to you was a favor. You gotta help a lot of nerves saying that you may have idealized Gabriela, but I have not.

She will do anything for power. So you keep that in mind. Hmm? You resent her because she’s made it on her own. She built her business from nothing. Now you. You were born on third base and you walk around in this world like you hit a triple

and will be amusing to watch from the sidelines. If the two of you manage to take over the mirror enterprises, I wonder how long it will take before Gabby starts viewing you as the obstacle to her success. Now, we’ve already fought that war and we’ve realized that our love is the most important thing to us.

We’re determined to be together now, and Iran Father’s Company the way we want. The only obstacle in the way is you.

Come on. I’ve told you how. Sorry am for the way I treats you. Oh, father, just shove your bloody apologies, will you? I’ve heard it all Before you dangle this life in front of me so that I’ll do whatever you want while you secretly pine for Sarah to come back to you. Well, you know,

I am over wanting you. Did your night with my cousin convince you of her? Whether it did or not is none of your business. Why are you still here? Anyway, go on. You said that I should be running the paper, didn’t you? Or was that just another night?

Leaving so soon. Well, Maggie wants to be in the office by noon. Did I already tell you I hit your guts? Oh, dear. And here I thought all that was behind us. Yeah. Well, you thought wrong. Well, wow. You were showering in my bathroom. I thought of some questions I’d like to ask. I’m not telling you anything. Oh, come on.

I’m dying to know about your butting romance. What? Butting romance with Gwen, my B fff.

Do you remember saying that The Spectator is my father’s newspaper and so that I should run it? Sure. I do. I still have half an interest. I’m gonna protect that interest. Well, you know what? You can do that without breathing down my bloody neck. And from now on, you don’t get to ask me what I do in my off hours.

I came here to work. You’re the one I had to start talking about last night. I only did that because you patronizingly assumed that I was weeping over you all night. Do you know what Quinn? This is getting of snow miss. So let’s just, right. Yeah. Finally there’s something we finally agree on Zander. I’m gonna work for more motel room.

The last thing I’ve ever want to do is breathe down your neck. You know, maybe next time we see each other we can try to be civilized. Oh, you really civilized. Oh, . That would be a very refreshing change, wouldn’t it?

Will. I guess I’ll, uh, try and catch up with Wendy. Word of advice. Let her call you. Seemed like she had something very important to talk to Chip about, but she told you that I picked up on it. Don’t, don’t listen to him. Okay, Johnny, if you wanna go, fine Wendy, do it. I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you. Okay, uh, we’ll see you guys later.

What was that about? Why are you giving Johnny such a hard time? I don’t trust that kid. He’s a bad influence on Jing one. Oh, that’s right. He influenced her to go to Jakarta and then figure out what you and Ralf were doing to Stephan. It’s not just that he’s pursuing Wendy while he is still involved with his ex-wife.

He and Chanel are just friendly exes and there’s nothing wrong with that. Yeah, I still don’t trust the guy. You have the nerve to judge somebody on their trustworthiness. I have a duty to look out for my sister. Wendy can look out for herself. Oh wait. That’s right. That’s not how you do things. So why don’t you just call your buddy up, Rolf, have him brainwash Wendy.

Out of caring about Johnny. Gabby. Wait, see what now? What? I have something.

Something you are going to absolutely love.

You know, I really gotta think of something nice to do for John about him. I never would’ve realized that you turned, the tables started drugging me. Johnny enjoy is trying to aggravate me, but he’s still my son. Hmm. I don’t know. He’s got a lot of Brady in him. The honesty, strong sense of what’s right, what’s not

You do remember Samantha Brady is his mother. Nah, skip the generation. It happens. So what now? Ej? Hmm? You drugged me. I drugged you. Or even. Ostensibly, I don’t think either of us wants to jeopardize Damara. I agree.

So I suppose I’m going to have to accept the fact that you and Gabriela are intent on finding your way back to one another, which may result in my having to share the running of my father’s empire with the two of you. And will you accept that gracefully? Oh, I, here I have six more months and probably I have to make up my mind about that flat.

Hmm. Okay. . Okay. That was great. Mm-hmm. . I didn’t realize I was hungry. I was, yeah. You put that burrito away in record time. Mm-hmm. . Oh, my dad says I have a trash compact over my stomach. Should be. Ah-huh. Yeah. Well you are a growing boy. That’s just something my father used to say to Lee whenever he was on his third helping of something.

Mm-hmm.

you what? Have a little.

No, you’re perfect.

What is this it? Find out. Oh, mate, I don’t hear any ticking. You went shopping at Saxtons. It’s your favorite store, isn’t it?

Don’t tell me it’s that person. I was going crazy over at dinner. Is that papers? Is this what I’m supposed to be excited over? Hmm? Read what’s on Them. Business proposal. Hey, what did you do? Now, word on the street is the CEO of Saxtons is looking to partner with a fashion brand for an exclusive collection.

This is your idea of a joke. This is not funny. I lost Gabby Sheik to ej. I’ve, I was having you try to buy it back and you couldn’t. EJ may have taken away your company, but he couldn’t take away your talent. You made a success out of Gabby Sheik, and you could do the same thing with a new company, right,

a little early to be dipping into the hard stuff Now. And how do you propose to this new era of Daytons with coffee? Well, can you put it that way?

To family and to two prodigal sons who’ve joined forces to hold onto an empire. It’s a family.

You don’t know when to quit. Excuse me, don’t play dumb with me. You’re not interested in me and Gwen, because she’s your homegirl. You’re trying to get dirt for your sleazy little column. Uh, first of all, lady Whistleblower is not sleazy. And second Gwen isn’t just my friend or my editor. She also owns the paper I write for, well, her end Zander.

Please don’t say his name. My point is, Alex, is that Gwen would never publish episodes from her own life no matter how scintillating they.

What does sound like her? Thank you. So just how scintillating was it? I’m kidding. But in all seriousness, Gwen is my best friend in the entire world, and I’ve already seen one Kiki man hurt her. If you think I am going to stand by and watch another one, use and lose her. You don’t know me very well. Well, I’ll be damned.

Leo Stark actually gives a damn about something besides himself. Don’t let that get around. I have an image to maintain. I ain’t gotta worry about that. Secret’s safe with me, pal. It’s always Gwen because we’re just friends. So if you would, excuse me, I need to get to work. Me too. After you

now, you’re all good to go. Thank you. Johnny, what are you doing here? I came to make things bright. How are you gonna do that? Well, you can gimme the name of your supervisor. I will talk to him or her. Tell him that I, that I was the one who took your id. I, I got the lab results and you had nothing to do with it.

Just let it go. Okay. I can’t do that. Look, I’m the reason you got in trouble. Okay? You’re a doctor. I messed with your professional reputation. That was wrong. I know it was wrong. Yeah. And all I got was a slap on the wrist. All right. It’ll die down unless you go and speak to my supervisor and stir it back all up again.

Is that true? Yes. Hey, best thing you can do for me right now is just stay out of this.

You think I’m just gonna drop everything and launch another fashion line with a a local department store. The CEO of Saxton is serious about growing her business. You’re a media influencer. loaded with design talent, you’d be perfect for them. That’s starting another line that even the pitch takes a ton of work.

It’d be worth it. My friend at Saxon’s is dying to hear from you. I don’t, I can’t even think of a name for the label right now. Oh, I’ve been thinking about that. Uh, yeah, I bet you have. Okay. How about pos of Shin? Oh, you’re gonna make me laugh, please. Okay. Gabby Shin original. Gabriel limited. You know what?

You need to stop. You need to stop this. Okay? Okay. We’ll table the discussion about the name for now, but Gabby, think about it. This could be a huge opportunity for you. I know what this is. You think that you could just sh dangle something shiny in front of me, like a whole new company of my very own, and, and I’m just gonna forget about the C position at Damara.

If you keep me busy enough, I’m gonna just forget about Stephanie and run back into your arms too, you know? Gabby, that is not what I’m doing. Damn it. Okay, I’m on your side. EJ swindled you out of Gabby Sheik, and he’s gonna make sure you don’t get within a mile of Dera Enterprises and I can’t get you back what you lost.

Okay? But I can do everything in my power to help you reclaim yourself as an entrepreneur. I’m serious, Gabby. I believe in you.

I, I have to go look. Just do me a favor, okay? Look over what’s in that box. If it sparks anything in you, you already have an in it. Saxons, whether you want to use it or not is up to you.

Is that text am mayor. Speaking. Hmm. I’m gonna head to the office. A lot of work to get done. Now that games are over, we’re working together. I’ll be alone in a bit. So you’re sending a text about the merit business and you won’t tell me what it’s about. You’re gonna be late to the office. And you’re not telling me why.

It’s your idea of a hunt. You have nothing to worry about from me. Let’s see about that.

Stephan thinks he has his guard up now, but I can still destroy him and he’ll never see the fin break the water because he wasn’t taught by the best like I was.

Julie’s place has been running a full page ad since they opened, I mean, They can’t cancel. We need the revenue. You know what? I’ll just deal with this later. Thank you for telling me. Yeah. Bloody hell. You are late. I didn’t realize I was supposed to clock in. Why are you so stressed? Because I’m trying to publish and edit a digital news source that needs to turn a profit in order to survive.

That’s why. Sounds like somebody needs another marathon night in the sack with her new boyfriend.

Keep walking. You stay the hell away from gr.

And if I don’t stay away from Gwen’s check, what are you gonna do about it? Believe me, Alex, you do not want to know what is with you cause huh? You don’t want Gwen, but nobody else can have her. You don’t know anything about her. Gwen and me, just stay away from her. I’ll meet you. Pay, you’re gonna dress up like a clown again.

Drag me off in a Uncle Vic’s gardening shed. Oh wait, you only do that to women who can’t defend themselves. Speaking of women, Harry enjoying saying, yes, mom. No, mom to Aunt Maggie. Well, we do have one big thing in common. We both can’t stand you. . You thought you had that job and we were so up, didn’t you?

Kind of like you did when he got passed over for Phillip, but can you really blame Uncle Vic Phillip’s? His. You were just the poor relation. He kept the round out of the goodness of his heart. Look, you spoiled, cocky, little piss son. I haven’t taken care a law back when I’ve seen the way you treat women as opposed to you, sir.

A had. She doesn’t need you pounding your chest, taking your claim to her like you’re a feminist. I mean, Gwen’s a grown woman, one who seems more than capable of choosing who she wants to be with. This is your last warning. Stay away from Gwen. We will regret it.

Pures bud is Zand. How so?

I had to tell him that Alex isn’t the love of my life and we just shagged. One night and that’s it. Sander knows that you did it with his cousin. I told him this morning. How did he take it? He wasn’t thrilled. Oh my God. This is perfect. How is this perfect? Vir? You lack my vision, sweetie. You are in the perfect position to use one Keio as to make the other.

Curio is crazy with jealous. I know I’m not interested in making Zander jealous. Okay, fine. How about we make him suffer?

You know, I, I’d really feel a lot better if you love me, make this up to you, but if, if you want me to butt out, then I do. Yes. Okay. Well then I will just say that I’m really sorry. I have to get back on the grounds. Thanks. Give for breakfast anytime.

Hello? He’s definitely not over this. I guess I’ll be seeing you, Johnny.

I do appreciate you trying to make things right. Well, that was the least I could do. I was, I was so set on finding out if my dad was right about stuff and using drugs that I just, I took his ID without even thinking about what it might do to him or what you might think of me, but you admitted you were wrong and you were ready to take the blame.

What guys wanna do that? He made me proud.

I could have my very own fashion line again.

What are you adding, Mike? Coming here. What? And doing that. Come back second. You can have spies all over the building. Calm down, calm down. Calm down. You can just ruin everything we’ve been working for. I made sure I wasn’t filed. Okay. I watched the building until I made sure that bastard was gone. Why take the chance?

Because something happened with ej. Tell me. Oh, we had it out and then we agreed to start working. So he’s over you drugging him. Oh, no way. But he started talking about how we should declare a truce. How we should band together his brothers to protect Damara. Sounds like a bunch of crap. A hundred percent, but I agreed to it.

Why? Because he needs to believe that we’re on good terms. It’s gonna make it easier to oust him in the long run. Okay, but you better sleep with one eye open. I know what I’m doing. I’m gonna end up running my father’s company. Put the woman of my dreams.

Okay, but you can’t keep doing this. You can’t, can’t do this because Lee Lee brainwash you. God knows what else he could do to you. You’re right, you and I, we’re gonna get everything we want and EJ is not gonna see it coming.

Sorry about making you go round the back. I couldn’t risk the two of us being seen together. Servants like a gossip coffee. I’d rather have answers. I don’t like being summoned, especially by the guy who fired me. My, I had no choice in that matter, and that doesn’t mean that we can’t be allies secretly, of course.

What are you babbling about? What sort of alliance could you and I possibly form? I was thinking of helping you hold onto your life.

How do you intend to do that? I have no idea that’s why you are here, but I think you and I need to come up with a plan to ensure that you remain married to Gabby permanently. What’s in it for you? The satisfaction of knowing that I finally succeeded in prying her, grasping little fingers off my brother.

And off our family fortune.

Leo. Who’s that? It’s me. It’s Andy. Where are you? I’m standing right in front of you. Oh my God, my eyes. I can’t see. I can’t see this. This can’t be happening. This is just an old wife’s tale. Have I actually gone blind from constant? You better not be making yourself go blind in the office. Oh. Oh, thank God.

Thank God. I thought I’d never get to see that wonderful bone structure that chiseled physique ever again. Why are you sleeping in the office? Well, I couldn’t very well sleep in my room. Now, could I? Why not? Hello? I was giving you and Gwenny your privacy. What are you talking?

Oh, stop.

Oh, oh, oh Mercy. How much did we drink last night? Mad. Should I be jealous? How the bloody hell are you doing in my bed? Don’t worry. I’m not offended that you forgot my name happens to the best of us. I’m Alex by the way, but I will be offended if you tell me that you forgot our night and passion. I Nice.

Of what?

Oh my God. Oh my God, oh my son.

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

I think that you were taking Leo’s gossip column a little too seriously, please, Eric? No, just Shumer me. Okay. Was last night, was it the best of your life? I told you it was great. Remember? But not the best. I don’t kiss and tell. Mm-hmm. . You would if I were the best, which I’m clearly not. Don’t make this a competition.

Okay? Hmm. Just admit that we have an amazing time together. That’s not enough. Hmm. Could you see, as Nicole Gleefully pointed out, Leo said that you’re the best sex of my life. What he didn’t say was that I was the best sex of yours. And for the record, I never said that. Okay. What? He totally made that.

You’re questioning the integrity of Lady Whistleblower. Are you answering my question with the question? No, I’m lightening the mood. Hmm. What was your question again? . Okay. Well, since you’re being so annoyingly evasive in coy mm-hmm. , I demand another shot. Another shot. Hmm. Yeah, that’s right. Because see, no matter how many times it takes, I’m gonna prove Nicole Walker, mom.

Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Please do.

As you may recall, you’ve made me drink this concoction when I had a hangover not so long ago. Oh, how cruel of me. Oh, come on. Right. It’s tough going, but it. Open up, choo. No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. Please, please, please. And I’m not hungover. I’m struck by my brother. You know that? No, no. I don’t know that. Not for sure.

I mean, it could have been an accident and maybe you mixed up the cups. I’m positive I switched the cops correctly after Stephan s strike. Martin. He must have, he must have switched them back. Well then if that’s the case, Stephan must know you’re onto him. I have no doubt about that. John Roman gave him a pretty big headss up and Stefan took full advantage of it.

So you’re trying to get my dad fired, right? That that’s your goal. That’s father’s goal. Hmm. What the hell does that mean? You saw for yourself, Johnny, he was a total disaster last night. Yeah. Yeah. Because you’re a two-faced trader. It’s because you drugged him.

Don’t play coy with me, Mr. Stud McMuffin. When I got back to the room last night, the Do Not disturb sign was on the door. So I assume you took my advice, got back together with Gwen. I didn’t wanna interrupt your steamy reunion. There was no reunion, Leo. Gwen and I didn’t get back together, but you’re officially divorced from Sarah.

Now why not make it officially official with Gwen? Cause I’m. I’m still in love with Sarah and can’t fully commit to Gwen. Can I please tell me, you didn’t say that to her? Of course I did. I mean, I have to be honest. No, you don’t. You big dummy. Ah, always. Brains or bra? Never both. What would be the point in life to her?

The point in line would’ve been to protect her feelings. You insensitive jerk. My God. Gwenny must be in agony right now. Her heart’s shattered into a million pieces and I feel terrible that. I care too much about Gwen to lead her on Leo. She deserves better than that. You’re damn right. She does. And now I am going to comfort my friend, let her know that she’s too special and wonderful to waste her time on the likes of you, your big, insensitive shallow meaning.

Wait a minute, if you can. Gwenny Warren, having sexy time last night. Why was the do not disturb sign on the door?

Oh, oh God. Oh, I, I remember. I remember now. I, oh, it’s all coming back to me. Yeah. Apparently I preceded my legend.

We, um, we, what did we, we ran into the, um, we ran into each other at small bar and we got completely bollocked, didn’t we? Because that Oh, bloody oneand. Can’t get over Sarah Horton. And, um, and, um, you, uh, I lost my job. Right. Yeah. Maggie, the tyrant, she stole your job. Hmm. And then we, we came back here and had a nightcap and we had.

Wild. Hot, passionate, no holds barred. Oh, no, no, no, no. Too many adjectives. My head’s pounding sex. We had sex and you know what? I think this was a first for me. Uh, at first, yes. A first with a British woman. Are you a beautiful, sexy, stunning British woman? Yeah. Well then technically I am an American. And what’s with the heart accent?

Uh, well, what does it matter? It doesn’t matter at all. All it matters is that you really, really, I’m really turned me on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That’s fine. No, this cannot happen again. This has been a terrible, terrible mistake.

Well, why was there a do not disturb sign on the door if there was nothing to disturb? I suppose because Gwen wanted to be left alone. Poor. Thanks. She was probably crying her eyes out all night time to think of it. I did hear mother damn you Zander cook. I was trying to be honest with you. Yeah. So you keep saying what do you think you deserve a medal for being honest.

When the entire time you’ve known Gwen, you’ve treated her like she’s a second fiddle to that skinny snooty Sarah Horton. And now even though skinny snooty woman has given you the Hepo left town to get away from you, you still treat Gwen like she’s a damn afterthought. Like, like she can never measure up to your standards, which is completely absurd given that you are a total swine with the soul the size of a pee.

You know what? I’m not gonna call her. I’m going to go see my bestie in person and stop her from doing something she might regret.

Last a mistake. Now wait a second. When, look, we, we are practically. Aren’t we? And we just knew each other a few hours and we just jumped right into bed with each other. Okay. So you never had a one night stand before? Yeah. Yes. I’ve had my wild days, of course, but God, now I’m in love with another man. Right.

Xander, who is still in love with Sarah Horton. So you used me to get back at him? Oh, I did not.

Yes I did. Hm. I’m sorry. Don’t be. I’m not at all besides, I’m still trying to get over Stephanie Johnson. She’s with Chad, so I have no reason to feel guilty either. Neither do you. We are both single and, oh God. Don’t say ready to mingle. I hate that. I would never say that. What I was gonna say is that we are both consenting adults and what we did is perfectly normal.

Unacceptable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right. I don’t, I don’t owe zand or anything. Exactly. So we are free to have all the earth shattering sex we want with no regrets.

Pretty great, wasn’t it? Definitely. In fact, I think it deserves an encore.

Hang on a second. Last night you tipped me off that somebody was drugging me and now you’re accusing me of drugging my brother, which is it, honey, I’m guessing. I’m confused. No, you’re not. Don’t try to manipulate me. I’m a der too. Remember you got me there After I tipped you off last night, you decided you wanted to get back at my dad’s, so you pulled the old switcheroo.

Causing him to ingest the drug that was meant for you. Go ahead. Tell me I’m wrong. Mm. Well that all depends on what, if it was in fact your father who was drugging me. Is that what you’re telling me, John? John? That my own brother’s been plotting against me.

So I not only called shin old, but then I proceeded to talk about how my son was possessed by the devil. Mm-hmm. . And then you topped it off by shoving Stephan. Ah, damnit. It was pretty hard to watch. Yes, I’m sure. And now I have to do major damage control. How are you gonna do that? Well, with way I can just express great contrition and turn on the charm.

It’s Stephen. Stephan is a whole other story.

I, I think there’s only one move to make where Stefan’s concerned, and that is well after Johnny tried to do the right thing, your brother now knows you’re onto him. So all this subterfuge is, is pointless. He. It is time for you to confront Stephan once and for all.

Okay, so I’ve decided not to worry about Nicole or that stupid gossip column anymore, really? Mm. What changed your mind? Well, while we were just enjoying each other just now, I realize it’s incredibly demeaning for me to compete with the Navy. I mean, I know I’m the best sex you’ve ever had. I don’t need to hear it from you.

I admire yourself, confidence, and I admire you for your impressive staying power.

In fact, I think you might have just earned yourself a pass at my retainer fame. All right, Jenn, generous of you. Oh no. But I’m still charging you for your defense Fair. I don’t know why I can’t afford you right now. Hmm. I wouldn’t worry about stacking up too many hours. I, I think this case is gonna be over pretty quickly.

That, that’s great to hear. It makes you so sure. Wow. A bulk of the charges resulted from you pretending to be my paralegal and as the victim, I can just make those charges go away by not cooperating with the da, which then leaves. The kidnapping charge, not a big thing, right? Well actually I think I can cut a deal with traffic.

Really like

speak of the devil. Well, is it about my case? Oh my God, Eric, it’s bad news.

Thank you again taking my case. I know it’s gonna be a lot of extra work for you. No, well it’s probably a good thing. It’s good for me to be busy, right. Sure it is. I know how close you were. Miss Marlena

think I miss her every day. I also think that she would be really upset with the riff you’re having with your brother Eric, right now. What? I just wanna eat breakfast right now, Brittany. I’m just saying you and Sammy, I get that’s, Normal. Are you and Eric? I mean, you’ve, you’ve always got along well, that was before he became a moody jerk.

I think he’s going through a rough patch and what he needs. A little bit like no, what he needs break. Listen, if this is your lame way of, of trying to get me to represent him answering. No, I’m not. I’m not. No, no. He actually already has a lawyer. What? Who? Oh my God. It’s her. That horrible heartless bitch.

Yes. That horrible heartless bitch is Sloan Peterson. That is his lawyer

charging me with attempted murder. I mean, how is this possible? Apparently Stephan’s heart stopped. Has Ralph was zapping him. I wasn’t zapping him. I wasn’t even here for the. It doesn’t matter. I mean, the laundry list goes on. I mean, she’s really piling on the charges. You said this was gonna be easy. I mean, how is this even possible?

Um, well, well maybe it was because something I said,

you are right. It’s time to bring this fight out in the open. I’m just gonna get pretty ugly, especially since both of you live under the same roof. Now, let’s step Dewey’s Worst. I’m not afraid of him. I just don’t want you being pulled into this mess depot. Oh, don’t worry about me. I can hold my own . Don’t I know it?

Well, I guess there’s no sense in putting this off any longer. I’ll let you know how it goes. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a second, sir. We need to take a shower first. It’ll help you clear your mic. Yeah, that’s a great idea. But you know what’s an even better idea? What’s that? Let you join me, you know, for extra clarity.

Mm,

well, Is my own brother plotting against me thing You think I don’t see right through you. Okay. Quit playing the victim. Here I am the victim. The cup that EJ drank from was meant for me. So you did switch the cups? What the hell was I supposed to do? Johnny? Huh? Let my brother sabotage me in front of way shin.

I was giving him a literal taste of his own medicine. Look, I don’t know what’s going on between you and my dad, but whatever it is, you need to figure it out. Your brothers okay? You shouldn’t be tearing each other apart. You really think you should be lecturing me on Brotherly Love? What’s that supposed to mean?

Didn’t I just read in the gossip section that you almost slept with your twin sister’s girlfriend and that led to the demise of their relationship? All right? It’s a little more complicated than that, and also that’s not what happened. Allie and Chanel didn’t break up because of me. They broke up because Allie decided to have a one night stand with Alex, Kiki.

Ah, well you still having regrets? Ah, I knew that. We can’t have a go at around three. So ? No. No. I can’t. I can’t. I’m, I have to go to work. Oh, I’m gonna hop on the shower. I’m

fine. Mind if I make a cup of coffee? Yeah. Go for it. There’s a little, uh, coffee maker on that table over there.

Poor Gwenny. She’s probably hiding under the covers. Wallowing in her misery. Oh, Leo is here to save the day. Gwe. I spoke to Xander. The man is a total.

You okay there? Yeah, I’m fine. I just need to catch my breath. What are you doing here anyway? I’m not really sure. It’s my place to wait. I know my wish came true. What are you talking about? Yesterday I was at the park and there it was. A bright and shiny penny on the ground. I had to raise some little brats.

Pick it up. Knocked her out of the way. Here you are. Yeah. I’m sorry. I don’t follow. Hello? Find a penny. Pick it up. Then tonight you get to hold on. What’s, hold on. You’re a little late though. It’s morning. But I won’t hold it against you, Leo. Or will I look how, how stupid am I spending the night at the office when I could have been here with you.

But what are we waiting for? Here I am. There you are. Oh. Time out, ti time. Time out. Who are you gonna put me in a timeout? Daddy. Not your lucky penny. I’m not here because of you. Well, then why are you here parading around? Stark naked patent pending. Leo, who else is staying in this room? Well Gwenny, but she, oh my gwenny.

You know, I just don’t get it. I thought Sloane dumped Eric because she was super pissed at him for getting raw out of jail. Apparently she, for forgive, Ugh. I just thought we were done with this wretched, bottom feeder. You know, I just don’t understand how Eric and her got together in the first place. I mean, what does he seeing her?

What? She’s kind of hot bell, you know? Oh God, dude, you’re such a man. Yeah, I am. I am. I’ve been called worse, by the way. Yeah. Well, can’t actually think that that woman is good for our brother. Actually, I don’t at all, but, but from his point of view, I think maybe she has been there for him when things went south.

Mm-hmm. . And that’s why he is been such a jerk because she’s been there for him. Look, given my history with Kristen Damara, I’m in no position to judge. Oh, please. Anyone with a brain is in a position to judge that Sloan Peterson is a nightmare. I just hope and pray that. At least keeps it professional this time.

I don’t get it. I mean, how could this be your fault? Trash through the book at me. I know, but maybe, maybe because I told her to you. What? Look, it was before I agreed to take the case, I was still angry with you. You know, I kind of, I went off in front of Trask. I mean, God, who knew I had so much influence over that woman.

This is all because that stupid column. No, this is because of your stupid action. Nathan. You talk her out of it. I don’t know, Eric. I mean, she’s already gone to the press with this. Knowing her. She’s not gonna back out, so then I’m screwed.

Not necessarily.

Okay, look. All right. I’ll be the first to admit, my sister and I have definitely had some real knockdown drag outs, but at the end of the. We love each other, and I, I can’t believe that I’m about to say this out loud that I even have to, but you don’t drug your sibling to sabotage their career. Okay, Johnny?

I know you mean well, but this is between me and your father. Except it’s affecting the whole family, you know? Not to mention the company seen the stock lately. It’s in the dump way. Shin’s unhappy. This whole thing’s a mess. I’ll get it under control. Not a fair war with my dad, but why don’t I just go get him right now.

You guys can hash this thing out here. And now.

Hello, Mr. Damira. Hi, this is Sloan Peterson, counsel for Eric Brady. I was hoping you and I could have a little chat.

I’m all done in there if you’d like to hop in. Thank you. And there is something seriously wrong with your friend.

Did the two of you. My girl get it. Also, I had been worried sick about you. Why? I ran into Xander at the office where I slept last night. Thank you very much. He told me what happened between you two. So I raced over. I thought you’d be hole up in here crying your wi eyes out, licking your wounds. Turns out you’re licking something else entirely.

Filthy. Ah, I’m filthy. I’m filthy. Okay. I’m filthy, but so are you Gwendolyn bagging two of the hottest guys in Salem first Ander. Now Alex, you are a queen. I both hate and respect you at the same time. Huh? You have a But that’s out of the way. I did get a sneak peek at the main attraction, and I have one word.

Epic indeed. Girl. Give me all the deeds and I mean everything.

So, uh, I was thinking maybe I should go with you when you confront Stephan. He’s less likely to kill you with me there, Nicole. This is not your fight. No, it kind of is since not only I was Stephan’s unintended victim, you and I are seeing each other again, which makes us a team. Right? I suppose it does.

Mm-hmm. I know it says. Now let’s go kick your brother’s ass.

You know what better safe than sorry, God, this family. Good morning, son. Good morning. Uh, good morning Nicole. Morning. How you feeling, dad? Better. Thank you. Um, thank you for helping me out last night for getting me outta here before I can make an even bigger fool of myself in front of shin. Yeah, well it’s uh, probably no surprise to you that Uncle Stefan is pushing for him to fire you.

No, it’s not. So where is my backs stabbing brother, you just missed. Oh, well, look, dad, I hope you’re not mad about the warning I gave him. I, but you know, I, I, I know it backfired on you, but like he said, he. Just give your taste of your own medicine. John Roman, you don’t understand this whole drugging business.

I wasn’t the one who started it. It was your Uncle Stephan

attempted. Attempted murder. That’s insane. Well, I think Trask was playing hardball. I wasn’t trying to murder him Bell. I was just trying to help him. For God’s sake, I take it. You got the message from Trask. Yeah. It’s pretty ridiculous. Yeah. You missed a button there, counselor. So much for keeping it professional.

I assume Brady mentioned that I hired Sloan. Yeah. One bad decision after another. Sloane’s an excellent attorney and you gave me no other choices. Okay, listen, I don’t wanna fight and I actually do think it would be better for all of us to work together on this. I know you and I don’t really get along, but I think we have a common goal in keeping these two idiots out of prison.

So I think we should do an end run around trash and call Stephan Dira. Gee, what a great idea. I wish I had thought of that. Oh wait, I. Oh, and here he is now.

Okay, well we were there and then we ordered another round and another round, and then we, um, started talking about his work situation. Honey, how is any of this relevant to what I want to hear? I said everything. But what it meant was everything. Like everything. What don’t you wanna know about how we got into bed, honey?

No. No. Boring. Boring. Listen to me carefully. Nobody cares about the setup. Press fast forward. Choose your words wisely and paint me a vivid picture of that God among men and men. Okay, go.

Okay. Um, me see, uh, Well first he uhhuh, . He did this. Oh, I have to get that. Sorry. Hang on. Oh damn. Musts be an emergency with the advertiser. I, I have to go to work. Sorry. I am gonna throttle you. Uh, can you maybe just tell Alex I to run? You better. Give me all the details later. Missy, this is gonna be great for stuff at lady whistleblower column.

Don’t you dare. Or I will make it so that lady is not just a nom.

So, wait, let me get this straight. Stephan spiked your drink and then you switched it with his, and then he switched it back. Oh. This cat and mouse game has been going on for a while. Technically, I never actually drugged Stephan. He drugged himself. He just didn’t know about it. So why? Why is he doing all this in the first place?

I suspect he secretly holds a grudge against me for not telling him about the brain. . Well, that’s great. Now you guys can just be done with it. Call it even. I was planning on confronting him, but I guess I’ve missed my chance. Yeah, well, in that case I should probably get going to work. Oh, I was, uh, I was headed out too.

You need to lift? Yeah, that’d be great. Okay. I’ll see you tonight. Looking forward to it.

Well, if it isn’t the brother’s grim, please uh, have a seat.

I didn’t realize the whole gang was gonna be here. Mr. D. Thank you so much for meeting us. Yes. As I was just telling Ms. Peterson, we have a common goal to get your brothers off the hook for what they did to me. I realized that, um, their methods were reckless. You think they kidnapped me, knocked me out, tied me to a bed so a mad man could experiment on me.

Yes. But in the end, the experiment was a success and you’re back to the man you once were because I was. That was a hell of a risk one that they took without my consent. You wanted to talk about consent? Excuse me, pal. Listen, Brady, let us handle this. Mr. Damara. I admit that our clients were extreme, but everything worked out for the best.

And since the DA doesn’t have a case without your cooperation, we’re asking you if you could please not press charges.

What they did was unconscionable, but as much as I hate to admit it, in the end, they did me a favor. So you’ll talk aask. Consider the charges dropped.

Uh,

Stephan, thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

Oh, no, I still can’t stand her. Oh.

Oh, I didn’t think you were coming in today. Um, yes. Well, I heard that there was a problem with one of the advertisers. Oh, I was just like to take care of that actually. Yeah. Well, I’m here now so I can take care of it. No, I’m happy to cover it if you wanna take the day off. Why about to do that going? You, you don’t have to put on a front with.

Was just here. I feel terrible that you spent the night in your room all alone. Crying. Crying.

Actually, I wasn’t alone. I was busy hitting the sheets with your cousin, Alex.

Where’s Gwen? You should do go to work. Looks like it’s just you and me. Handsome. Good One of the moment alone with you. Me too. I have a bone to pick with the guy who ruined my career

on. Put that away. Considering you’ve saved my life, sis, practice is on me. Well, thankfully Stephan was willing to listen to the reason Dave and Sloan, you make a pretty good team. Maybe you should, uh, you know, get firm together or something. Then who would represent me when I throw her out the window?

thought about that. No, there will be no teaming up between me and that awful woman whom I still loa with every fiber of my being. Just wish the hell Eric would stay away from her.

Johnny, I’m really sorry about lying to you and Wendy about what was going on. Hey, you’re not the first person who’s ever kept a secret from my dad.

So you and he are, uh, getting pretty close, huh? Ah, yeah, I guess we are. Does that mean you’re over my uncle?

I’m getting there.

I’m certain you don’t approve of all this end fighting father, so whether you like it or not, there is going to be a reckoning between my brother and me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I am sorry. I don’t remember inviting you to sit here. You didn’t Then why are you here? Well, because US members of the Bad Day Club have to stick together. This Spencer can’t argue with that. You are. Um, Alex, that’s. And you are Gwen.

Well, I would say nice to meet you, but we have so many people in common. It’s almost if we’re old chums. Mm-hmm. . Does feel that way. Huh?

So who puts you in such a rotten mood when your rotten cousin Zander?

Oh,

sorry. Your talk with Gwen didn’t go so well. Yeah, well, It went about as well as Lincoln’s nights at the theater actually. Sorry. So was it, um, bad business wise or relationship wise? Both. Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah. No, I’ve made Gwen so angry. I don’t think there’s any relationship left. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where’s all this anger coming from?

Okay. I don’t get it. Yeah, neither do I. What do you think Johnny did? What do I think he did? No, I know exactly what he did and he can’t dodge this one cuz I have the receipts.

You had fun at the museum, didn’t you? Oh, I’m not gonna complain about seeing Van Gogh paintings of clothes. Hmm. So much beauty in one place. The art was pretty good too. Are we gonna keep doing this? What compliments. Going into the exhibit was your idea. Remember, after I found you and s Stephan together, I thought you were trying to make amend.

I was trying to make the best of the situation. I didn’t know dinner was gonna be a part of it. What’s wrong with dinner? I’m not hungry. Ah, you said the same thing when I made you ch laquila for breakfast and then you scarf those down. Come on. You love the steak here, just like you love the exhibit. And then what?

By the time our, our six months deal expires, I’m gonna. Just let go of s Stephan and love you again too. Yeah, that’s right. Except, uh, things can happen a lot sooner than that.

Once again to D Mirror,

Oh, soit is so brave that you came over for dinner.

I’m so glad you were able to join us, Mr. Shin. I’m very glad to be here. Yeah, and I know that Shep is making beef Wellington, so I hope I see your liking. Oh, it sounds wonderful. This feels like it’s going to be a night to remember. Couldn’t have said it better myself, brother.

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

Well, I hope you don’t hold it against me, that Zander and I are related, even though blood is just about the only bond we have, especially after the whole kidnapping mess. I do not wanna talk about that. Fair enough. Besides Zander’s, actual crimes are really the least of my issues with him. Oh yeah. You know, he tried to be good in his own way.

How about you? Did you try to be good? Mostly? How’s that working out for you?

What do you think? Right. So it seems to me that in a weird way, you and Zander are a pretty damn good match, except it’s not the match that he wants, despite the fact that she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Zander will never stop loving Sarah Horton,

you know? Realized I was doing the very thing that I told you I didn’t want to do. Leading G went on. Mm-hmm. So you made her think you were gonna be a couple again? Only cuz I believed it. I mean, I really did think that, you know, once I saw the final divorce decree in my hands, I would finally accept that Sarah and I are over for good.

I don’t think it works that way. No. The feelings didn’t miraculously disappear. I can’t lie to going about that. Even if Sarah hates me, she doesn’t hate you. She’s just done with you. Now you’ve got to get over her. Are you gonna end up alone?

You know, you really need to work on listening when people. Like, like I am not in love with you. Or six months or six years he and I are not happening. Hmm. I heard you say those things and yet they’re not sinking in because you keep talking about winning me back and you’re starting to sound delusional.

I like to call it hopeful. Okay. Well, you can call it whatever you’d like. It’s still a pine tree only because you’re treating it like it’s some kind of chore because it is. It doesn’t have to be Daddy. This quality time we’re spending. Look at it like I’m doing you a favor. A favor. Yeah. Yeah. The more time you spend with me, the less time you spend fighting your temptation to be with Stephan.

Or even worse, giving in. So you’re helping me out. If you cave, you force me to invoke. Cause 2.6 of our deal and you lose out all my damer shares is one night of nostalgia. Was Stephan really worth that?

So I found this startup in South Africa. They’re making incredible breakthroughs on clean energy. They are hungry for investors. I’m intrigued. I must have missed a memo on this one. Oh, I was gonna brief you in the morning, get your sign off. You know, I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding. Yeah, of course.

Sorry, I, I’m sure you were caught off guard just as I was caught off guard when you told me that Mr. Shin was joining us for dinner tonight. So guess we’re even, I’m going to check in on how, see how those appetizers are coming. Nicole, would you like to join me? I know you had a request for the chef. Oh, yes.

Right. Thank you for reminding me. Of course.

Did you hear Stephan back there? Obviously he’s trying to win shin’s favor. He called us Eva. Something tells me you don’t see it the same way. Mm. He will be after the drugs kick in and he makes a fool of him. Which might be any minute now

finding the deal in South Africa will be a big win for Jamira. You, Cindy, on top of things, you sound surprised. Well, to be honest, I had a conversation earlier with your brother. Hmm. About, uh, he worries that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf put you through. Hmm.

I appreciate my brother’s concern for my wellbeing, but I can assure you I’m perfectly fine. Hmm.

Ah geez.

Maybe Xander will come around. Hm. My God. Do you know how many times I’ve told myself that? Never know. Feelings are weird. Feelings are weird. Wow. That should be on a refrigerator magnet. Dude. easy. I just mean, you know, sometimes they can take a little while to sort him out. Do you know what he said to me?

He said that once he sees the divorce decree, reality will set in. And I’m guessing that’s not what happened. No. Reality did set in, it just settled in for me, not him. And he told you what? That he didn’t want to be with you? He said he still loves Sarah and he doesn’t know if you’ll ever her get over her

when? I’m sorry that he hurt you. I, I don’t even, geez, do you know what the worst part is though? Was he was trying not to hurt me. He.

He said it’s not fair to lead me on when he knows that he’s still got feelings for so often. Alright, well I think that’s honorable. I guess. God’s honorable. Come on, honorable my ass. I am the best thing that has ever happened to that man and he will never know God. Who do you have to shout to get another refill around here?

Hello? Oh, hey, hey, hey. X round’s on me. I got it. Thanks. God’s sake. Listen to me. I’m just going on and on and on about myself. I haven’t even asked you why you are here, why you are so miserable as go on. Then what’s her name? . Good guess. And yes, I did ruin things with the best woman I’ve ever met in my life, but that’s not the reason why I’m here tonight.

Mm-hmm. and Royal, you. I am here tonight because of Sarah Horton’s mother.

Mm-hmm. . Why am I telling Sarah’s mother all ? Maybe because you expect me to get in touch with her and let her know that you still love her. No, I mean, unless you want to. I told you before, I wish the two of you had worked this out, but I’ve learned my. I mean, I, I made my feelings clear to Sarah and, and I told her that this time I’m gonna stay out of it.

I understand that I’ve lost Sarah and now I’ve driven Gwen away too. Seems I can’t help but hurt the women in my life. Mm. Well it seems to be a lot of that going around.

Okay. Someone tell me what this is about. I’m sure it’s nothing. Yeah, of course. Well, it says Johnny won’t tell you. I will. You see, he came asking for my help for some lab results for his father. I told him there’s nothing I could do, so he stole my id, impersonated me and stole those results from the lab.

That’s how you got those results? Yeah. He put my good name and reputation at risk all because he and his family always think they’re above the.

I know how much he admired my father. He was a flawed and complicated man, but his drive and determination was unmatched , and he never ever let someone get the better of him, which is why I’m trying to follow in his footsteps.

Look at him over there, droning on trying to impression. Doesn’t he know droning is your specialty? . Stefan will get what’s coming to him soon enough. I love a good tour wreck dinner party. Mm-hmm. . Let’s join them. See how things are progressing. Whoa, whoa. You okay? All good.

Good job buddy. I seven believe that you’re drunk, but maybe tone it down Well, shin’s looking okay. Is it a little warm in here? I just me,

I’m glad you were raised his dinner party, ej. It’s given me a chance to, uh, stress the importance of rising up our stock price. Of course, it’s all he’s thinking about. I can vouch for that. Okay. EJ is the first to admit that this stock slide was due to an unfortunate mistake. But believe me when I say that, he’s doing everything in his power to make sure it never happens again.

Isn’t that right? Ej? Uh, of course. And he’s using this opportunity to make changes within the company. That’s why I’ve developed a new program to teach all DER employees media strategies as we navigate this new environment. And I know EJ is fully on board. See, when I, I’m sorry I’m not finished. When one employee is able to cause this big a crisis by opening his mouth, that tells me that the culture needs to be changed.

And I can assure you that we are going to change that culture. Stop talking.

Mr. Shim heard you the first time. For God’s sake, the man is old, not deaf.

So, uh, if you’re distancing yourself from Gwen, does that mean you’re quitting the spectator? No, Gwen certainly doesn’t want me there, but you own half of. Yeah, but it’s, it’s Gwen’s legacy, not mine. So you’re unemployed again. We’ll see. Don’t worry. I’ll find some non-legal way to fill my own. Well, then maybe you could fill in Harry Titan.

Right. Yeah. Doing what? Taking off for Alex. I wouldn’t complain.

So Maggie got the job that you were expecting at Titan? I would say deserving, but yes, ooi. Do you have a problem answering to strong women? I love strong women. Gender is not the problem here. Gwenny. That job should be mine. I should be the one on the front page of the Spectator with my plans of laying out the future of this company.

So why isn’t it you?

Because my Uncle Vic, not a near full of some gossip about my extracurricular activities. Hmm.

Wow. Oh dear. That’s funny, huh? Yeah, it’s um, lady Whistleblower. Oh, lady Whistleblower. You know all about that, huh?

Yeah. I’m really sorry to tell you that I am the new editor at The Spectator, and Leo is my gossip column expert. Oh. Great. Come on. I mean, what’s the big deal? Anyway, you are

handsome and you are quite charming and you are rich. I mean, why shouldn’t you have a wrong with two beautiful, young, willing women? Yeah, I do like the way you think, but my Uncle Vic, he’s. It was little old school.

Yeah. Is Maggie really the like the best for the job there? I mean, she’s nice enough, but does Victor think that she’s CEO O material finally. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Do you know how many times I tried sounding the alarm about this in an ad? Just gets shut down with this extreme prejudice. And now honestly Gwen, I’m just trying not to blow my inheritance.

Well, if you want that pot at the end of the rainbow, I think you’re gonna have to be a good little soldier. And you’re gonna have to follow Auntie Maggie’s orders, aren’t you? Mm. That’s the deal. Well, I think it sounds good. Just don’t cause trouble. You get to live a fabulous life and he had to sha whomever you like.

So kind of wish you told me that. Y.

When I asked you how you got those lab results, you said you have your ways, well, I guess his ways are identity theft. Johnny, you don’t have to believe me now. You can just talk to the lab director who called me while I was at the nurses station looking for my lost badge. What exactly did he say? Oh, he figured out that someone unauthorized used to get those reports.

Were he gonna say something, John? What? What can I say? Yes, yes. I use Trips Badge to get those results. Yes. Wow. You know, that’s illegal, right? I needed answers. Wendy and I are trying to help someone, Wendy and I, are you actually throwing her under the bus? That’s not what I was doing. Then why did you lie to me about how you got those results?

Because he knew how you would react, and he’s too much of a coward, to be honest.

What, what? I admit they make good steak here. What do you, what do you want from them? I was just remembering the last meal we shared here. What about it? You got a little carried away, ordered the most expensive bottle of wine on the list, and then when we were. We heard another. Hmm. And then later when we went home, stop.

Stop, stop. What? That wasn’t a good night because I seem to remember it being one of the best nights of my life. I mean, a night that lasted all the way through till morning. By the way, I never felt closer to you. To anyone can tell by the way your cheeks are flush. You remember? I know what you’re doing.

Well, is it working

Mr. Shin? I, I am so sorry for that outburst. I blame myself for what happened with the stock, obviously, and it’s frustrating. Understandable. And, and once he gets the prices up, the frustration will be gone. Ah, as will I. Yes. Well,

Uh, uh, dinner should be ready. Uh, let’s eat, shall we? Yes.

I know you’re supposed to act impaired, but, you know, uh, maybe not. Try not to insult shin. I, I didn’t mean to say that. I, I don’t know what’s happening. Stefan was getting under my skin and just slipped out. Oh, you look sweaty. I’m tall here. No, it’s not. Are you sure that you swed the correct drinks with s Stephan?

Of course. Oh, because Stephan’s the someone who’s acting fine and you’re acting off, I’m fine. The drug shall kick in for Stephan any minute. We will go and sit down and have dinner with Mr. Shin and Stephan will prove that he is unfit by going face first into his bowl of soup.

So Alex totally undercut your authority and he still has a job. I let him off with a warning. Let me, he was, he was only being passionate about something that he believes in. Still almighty, you can’t have insubordination in your ranks. The truth is that I didn’t wanna become c e O and fire the only other kek in the company on my first day.

That would’ve be a bad look. Ugh. I wish I had the KIS I could count on.

I wasn’t just gonna. Auntie Mag, shut the door on Bella. So I back channelled my concerns to my uncle. All right, . So, um, let me get this straight. You. The, um, you said the boss, your, your boss, the big boss, made a decision. A bad one, . And you went, you went behind her back to her husband . Wow. I mean, when you put it like that, uh, I guess I’m not a.

Team player. Name one person in your family who is, what you thinking of? One in particular. You are like that. You more just go after what you want. Consequences be damned. Oh, huh. What about you? How are you raised?

Mostly I raised myself.

By the way, it doesn’t seem like either of us have gotten what we want.

It’s misery.

Where is mine

to misery?

So you wanna get outta here?

Look. I’m sorry. Okay. That I got trip in trouble, but he gave me no choice. Okay. How do you figure, I asked you for your help. He didn’t wanna give it to me, so I borrowed your badge for like 10 minutes. Okay. No, you didn’t borrow trip’s. Badge, you stole it. So what you, you, you think that what my dad is doing to s Stephan is okay, but both things are bad.

Yeah. One’s a hell of a lot worse. You knew this was wrong or you wouldn’t have kept it from me.

You should go, Wendy. No, I’m serious. Johnny, what do we have? If I can’t trust you, I’ll text you tomorrow. Once you’ve had time to think about this, you’ll understand.

Look, I’m sorry. Are you okay? Ali warned me about how impulsive and selfish shawny can be.

I guess I’m still trying to learn what that means.

It’s a great idea to have Harold set us up in here with coffee and desserts. Mr. Shin. Nicole, can I get you coffee? No, thank you. Ah, I’ll pass. Aj, you’re not gonna say no. Only if you join me.

This is one of my favorites. See why it’s one of the only abstracts we own.

And father acquired this squad in Tuscan. I agree. F l had Yes indeed.

Why don’t you show Mr. Shin that incredible sculpture you purchased at the auction? Oh, I would love to. It is so special. Believe it or not, our father actually owned it in the sixties.

You tracked him again and maybe he didn’t get enough in the first trick, but this time, this time, He’s going down.

So you wanna know if your shameless flirting is working. What’s so shameless about it? I was just remembering what it was like to be in bed with you that night and hoping that by the time September rolls around and we’ve made new memories, you’ll be. Stephan, who

I admire your persistence.

What else do you admire about me? Uh, check. Please check. Oh, we can’t leave yet. Why not? I pre-ordered the souffle for dessert. We can get it to go. You want to go back home just like last time?

I am sorry. I know I was hard on Johnny there. No, you had it coming to him. You have every right to be pissed. It was my first day back at the hospital, you know, and I wanted everything to be perfect and just, I dunno. I feel like such a responsibility to honor Kayla’s memory and I’m sure she’d be proud.

I know I’ll never. Go the doctor she was. But that’s important to me that I don’t do anything that’ll stain her reputation or even this point, my dad, while still breathing. Hey you, nothing wrong today.

Thanks. Okay. I’m really sorry Joani put you in this position.

If I known what he was gonna do, I would’ve.

Oh, Stephan, why don’t you share some of the numbers with Mr. Shin for the South Africa project? You sure you want me to do that now? Why not? Oh, Johnny. Hello Uncle Stephan. My son. What a grand addition to the group. I Hey dad, . Oh, have you? Have you two met? You’ve got to meet my boy. Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

In a minute. In a minute. I’m sure you know all about this young man. Way after all. He could be the air to the Damira throne. Well, I am will aware. Hello Johnny. Mr. Shin. Hello. Come on. You can do better than that. Johnny Tuck. Oh, oh, oh. Of course, Mr. Shim is a legendary judge of character and talent, so I’m sure he’ll find Johnny completely amazing when he finally gets his chance.

Huh? Hey, right, and let’s not hold against him. That whole new devil possession thing, wife, you need to go. Now. Why? Because there’s been a mistake. The only mistake I see is two CEOs, okay? That, are you all right? I got this. Ej. Hey, I don’t know what is going on with you, but you need to make an excuse. Go upstairs and lie down cause I’m not tired.

You need to lie down. Before you embarrass yourself any further, embarrass myself. Who the hell do you think you are? Ej, clearly you are messed up. I am not messed up. You are three.

Oh, okay. That was clearly not supposed to happen. Okay. You know what? Ha didn’t sleep much. He was up all night. But I switched it. I, I, I, I know I switched it. Just come with me. Uh, excuse us. CJ just needs to, to freshen up. Johnny. Yeah.

Mr. Shit. I apologize for my brother’s behavior. Honestly, I. No idea what’s going on.

Hi guys. Lee Ding. When trip we interrupting something? Nope. No, we were just uh, talking. Where were you? Two Dinner at the bistro. We brought you some delicious. So, . I drove nice and slow so it wouldn’t collapse. You guys want some? Yeah, that sounds great. I’ll go put it on the plate. Okay. I’m gonna go change.

Oh, tired. Long. Good. Uh, um. Oh, and here we are sitting on your bed. Uh, don’t worry, I’m gonna head to sleep soon. Have a long day too. You know, it, uh, it isn’t that bad for sleeping. It’s that sexually. Pretty comfortable couch. Ah, well, glad you don’t mind. Yeah, yeah. No, no. Um, what I meant was, is, um, you wouldn’t mind me.

Yeah. I was thinking, uh, you know, I’m sure it’s very expensive for you to move back here and quit your job out west, so maybe I can help with that. Oh, pow out. You can save a little money. Crash out here on the couch. Let me have your room. Yeah. The answer is no, Lee. He’s not in. Let him answer. Uh, look, if this living situation’s a little too cozy for you all, uh, I can always go back to my dad’s.

Oh, I love having you here. My brother’s just gonna have to get used to the couch. He made it. Now he gets to lie in it.

Well, it seems you are wrestling with an impossible. And which question is that? Well, on one hand, you could rely on the Keri Aus that went crying to your husband when he didn’t get his way. Any other on the other, you could rely on the Keri Aus that lied to your daughter after he perpetrated an ill-fated kidnapping scheme.

Well, that’s why I’m the c e I get paid to make those tough calls. I suppose that’s true. Mm-hmm. . Well, most people would think it’s an easy call and Alex. May not be a loyal employee, but he’s not a felon. But you are not most people are you Maggie? No, I’m not. I actually think you did a pretty good job when you were in charge, uh, a few years back.

You might be the only one, maybe. So still is fun to imagine. Oh, you and the two of us taking on the corporate world, defying expectations both. No. Victor would never sign off on it. So I’m ceo. Victor doesn’t get a say. Not about Alex. And not about you.

Maddie, are you home? But who’s Maddie? Leo. Where you, what? You live here with Leo Stark. I. The little twrp cost me my spot at running tight. Whoa. And it’s a good thing that that little twerp isn’t here, isn’t it? Oh, it’s a good thing. . Right now I believe we were in search of a nightcap. That’s what we came here for.

Now, is that the only thing you came here for?

This isn’t making sense what is happening to me. Oh, I don’t, oh gosh. I, I don’t know how he managed it, but Steph had must have switched the drinks. How? Why? I don’t know.

This is probably his plan all along. But how did he figure it out? Ah, this might be my fault. What you guys said that Stefan was on drugs and something about that didn’t really sit right. So I got my hands on a copy of the lab reports you had ordered. I found out what was in the vi. I thought you guys were trugging it.

My God. You told him. I know. I didn’t say it was you. Oh God. I.

You know, your brother warned me that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf had put you through, but clearly he’s the one we should be worried about. Well, I appreciate your concern for my brother’s wellbeing, but he’s resilient now. You don’t have to defend on family obligation. Our obligation is to the shareholders.

You’re right. Sometimes I’m too loyal for my own good. Uh, may I speak freely? Of course, yes. I have been worried about my brother ever since the death of his mother and something like that. It leaves a mark. Oh, clearly your worries are justified. What can we do about it? He and I are equal. Perhaps not for long.

Where did Trip and Wendy go? They went outside to get some air. Hmm. So they didn’t want tole

a. A. Apparently not. Gabby. That outfit is incredible. Mm. Well it’s not for you. It’s for when my six months of hell are up and I can finally sleep with the man that I love. I see. So this is you torturing me. Yeah. For you torturing me. Mm. Yeah. Museum. Incredible meal. How can you stand it? I can, so I guess all there’s left for me to do is to go back to that big, cozy bed all by myself.

You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you that contract that I signed, I know that I can’t be with Stephan, but, and there’s nothing in there that says I can’t dream about him. Right. Imagining him in that bed with me. Ripping off this outfit, taking me into his arms, making love to me all night long. Okay, well have a good night on the.

Victor can’t stop you from bringing me in to replace Alex. Hmm. Now you just need a good answer for the other 10,473 reasons why it’d be a terrible idea for you to do that. Well, I’ll get to work on that right away. In the meantime, I need to go home. Um, you wanna share an elevator? Absolutely. I just need to do a quick text.

Can you gimme a second? I’ll meet you in the hallway. Hey. Hmm. Thank you for listening to all my stupid Mistakes and standing by me anyway. You are, you’re a very loyal person. Who knows? I may be asking for that loyalty in return. Pretty soon.

Maybe we should just enjoy that drink. Okay. Can’t blame the guy for trying Right.

You, um, can’t blame for trying not one. You okay?

Okay.

No. No, not. Okay.

Let’s change that up, shall we?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Hi. Oh, hello there. Martini or Gin Atomic. Oh, after the day? I’ve had both, but not yet. Unfortunately, our workday is not finished. It’s not. Now, I think specifically you may have a problem. What happened? Well, I ran into Johnny at the park today and I overheard him talking to Wendy and I don’t know how they figured it out, but they suspect that you are the one that is trucking.

Stephan?

Yeah. Thanks for calling Dad. Yeah, it’s, uh, being back here without Kayla. It feels wrong and sad, you know? Yeah. I just really wanna do my best to live up to the Sanders that she set.

Yeah. Yeah. First day’s going. Okay. So far. Uh, I got my new ID badge and drained, uh, my first ABSs in the er. It’s like I, it’s like I never left.

Thanks. I love you too, Johnny. Hey, are you, are you okay? Oh, yeah, yeah, I’m fine. Um, actually, I was uh, here to see you.

That’s right. I wanna talk to you about Bella. Well, it’s just that Auntie Mag and I aren’t really seeing eye to eye on its future, and since Bella’s been my baby for the past six months now, I was hoping that maybe you would consider my input before making any major decisions. Do you want to talk about us?

Well, I thought that was the last thing you’d want to talk about, given the way you rushed out of it just a little while. And I was wrong, cowardly. Well, in all fairness to you, Oh, I kissed you impulsively. Um, I could see how very thrown you were and I, I honestly, I just, I got really caught up over the sales and numbers.

You don’t have to explain Glenn, and you don’t have to apologize, but I do need to explain my, my reaction at least, and apologize for it. Yes, I can. No, there isn’t. Okay. Please just let me speak. When I found out that my divorce papers had been lost, I dunno. I thought maybe that was fate telling me that there was still hope for me and Sarah.

Yes, Sarah assigned the papers and she left town, right, and I know it’s naive to keep holding out hope, but naive or not, it is what I am doing, which is why I, I can’t even consider a romantic relationship with you until I know for sure that my divorce is. And if that’s not okay with you, I do understand

like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

What are you doing here, father? Checking up on your wayward offspring? Well, without much luck lately, but I went to the Salem in to see Lee and he told me he is living here now. He is. Ian Gabby moved in yesterday, he and Gabby. So your brother is celebrating by that ridiculous contract with a woman who doesn’t love him.

Yeah. You know, I suggest you take that up with him, but, uh, he’s not home right now. Is someone actually sleeping on a sofa? I mean, don’t you have enough bedrooms for the three of you? Uh, we do have enough rooms for me, Lee and Gabby, but, uh, there’s four of us here. Now that my friend trip has moved in,

Wendy told me you were working here again. Uh, yeah, I am. And uh, look, this is about Wendy. You’ve got nothing to worry about, man. We’re just friends and roommates. There’s nothing romantic going on between us. Oh, I. . Yeah, Wendy told me, um, and I trust her. So anyway, I’m not even here about Wendy. I’m actually here about my dad.

But I spoke to Johnny and Wendy earlier. I could have sworn they believed me. Oh, by the time I got to them, they were questioning if Stefan was using drugs. And they’ve suggested that you might be the one jacking Stephan. But how did they figure it out? Well, I, I don’t think they. I think it was just conjecture.

Ah, damn. So what did you do? Uh, how did you react? Light my ass off. Of course, I totally vouched for your innocence. I even told them that I was there when the investigator told you that S’S fingerprints were on the vial. Good. Good. Did they buy it? They seem to, I hope they. Oh, if Johnny knew the truth, then he could ruin everything.

Uh, is your father all right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, he’s, he’s. He’s fine. He did though, um, get some tests taken the other day for some demer business. I just wonder if I could get a copy of the results. Nah, I’m afraid I can’t help you there. Uh, HIPAA rules. I’d still need written authorization from your father,

Well, yeah, but my dad sent me here to get the results form to save him time. So now you’re telling me I gotta go all the way back home, get him to sign some paper and then come all the way back here to get ’em. Come on. Sorry Johnny. I don’t make the. And I really prefer not to break any on my first date back here.

You’re living with a boy, a man, a doctor, a friend. So he’s living here with you, but he’s not a boyfriend. No, he’s not. I’m seeing Johnny Damara, actually. Johnny Damara now. Why didn’t I know that? It’s not like I was hiding anything. Johnny and I have been friends for a while and uh, we just started casually dating.

I, I know, I know. He’s not a doctor or a lawyer. He is not Chinese. No, I don’t care anything about that. You don’t, your brother turned his whole world upside down for Gabby Hernandez. He lost his job. He gave away his shares of stock and he’s gonna lose his marriage eventually. But you, you are cementing our family’s legacy at this company by being involved with the air for the Damara enterprise.

Well, don’t you win . I’m so very proud of you. Why are Johnny and Mundi so determined to investigate any little irregularity they stumble across? I clearly spent too much time reading Hardi Boy’s Mysteries to Johnny while he was young. . Great. Well now you have to figure out a way to assure him that there’s no mystery here to think my very own son would accuse me of, of doing exactly what you’re doing.

Look, it’s, it’s cuz he loves you and he’s worried about you. That’s all he’s worried about. My brother. Hmm. Little does he know what his beloved Uncle Stephan is willing to do to me. He actually drugged my water at the office earlier. Bastard. Yes. Luckily I was able to switch the bottles. , and you did that without my help.

Good job. So how did it affect him? I’m not too sure. He skipped out of there early, just like he did yesterday to see Gabby. This is the second wasted opportunity for him to make a fool of himself at Tamir.

Ah, good Miss.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stephan, did you get a head start on your cocktail somewhere else? No. No. I just, I got a. Hi, Kevin. Okay. Why don’t you sit down, Stephan. I’ll get you some water.

Thanks. Mm-hmm. . Wow. I don’t, I don’t know why I’m feeling so out of it. It makes sense to me. You were held hostage for days while Rove, zapped and repped your brain. No surprises here Experiencing. After the fact. Yeah, I, I’m sure that’s it. Or maybe there’s a flu going around. I’ve been feeling peaked on and off myself, but I certainly can’t attribute it to having been brainwashed.

Right. Oh, that is strange. I, Ugh. Oh man. I’m gonna go upstairs, splash some cold water on my face and lay down. Leave it up. Yes. Feel best. Yeah.

It seems the drug is having its intended effect. Maybe there’s a flu going around. What is that all about? Well, if I had to play along, obviously otherwise he might suspect, oh no, my head is spinning. How long is this gonna go on? As long as it. Well, you know, if no one at Damira sees him like this, then it’s all for nothing.

Nicole, you have just given me a Scathingly. Brilliant idea.

You’re welcome. Thank you Uncle Vic. No, you know what? I knew you would end up seeing things my way. Alright, take care.

Is it possible that I didn’t be clear that that chair is no longer your domain? Uh, sorry again, please. I went downstairs to, uh, break the news to the Bella staff, and I’m terminating the magazine. Well, I wish you had told me, but, oh, well, listen, I thought that since I was gonna lower the boom, it was my decision.

But you know what? It seems that someone has been allowing the staff to keep banker’s hours cuz they were gone. So I guess I’m just gonna have to tell ’em tomorrow. Hmm. Sounds a good plan. I’m glad you approved.

Look, Alice, I know you didn’t agree with my decision, but it was my decision, so I hope you respect that. Of course. I’m the ex c o, the only person with authority over you. Now it’s Uncle Vic

Hello. Hello, Victor. What can I do for you?

You think that there might still be a chance for us? Of course. I’m willing to.

I love you Zander. If you need to know that your, your marriage is over before you can move on.

Vir Zandy, I have acquired some very exciting news. It’s about you, me. Ooh, whatever it is. I’m sure. I don’t want it in Lady whistleblowers calling. Oh, don’t worry. Lady W can be very discreet when necessary. Right. So you suggest some news? I do indeed. I was sniffing around for dirt at the county clerk’s office and wallah, what’s this?

It’s your final divorce decree.

Wait, how did you get this in so quickly? Well, I was sweet talking Jimmy in records. Reminded him how he screwed up royally when he lost the decree the first time. Turns out he didn’t want to be in my column, so he agreed to expedite the executed paperwork from what he just gave it to you. Are you doubting my charms?

Okay, fine. He knows you’re my boss and I told him how eager you are to move on with your life. And now Sir Xander of Cook, you most certainly can.

Dunno what to say. I believe the words you’re looking for are, thank you, lady Whistleblower from the bottom of my heart. Yes, of course. Thank you. And now that you’re finally free of that Sanctimonious, judgey Mc Judson, mayor of Judge Town, we can finally celebrate.

Okay, look, I know Sarah Pacer rejected you and it still hurts, but I wanna remind you that she ended your marriage because in great that she is, she didn’t appreciate that every action you took was done so that you could support her in the manner to which she was accustomed. And how does she repay you?

By ratting you out to Bonnie and Justin and dumping your incredibly finance. Meanwhile, g Guinevere over here puts her own cute little ass on the line for you. She goes so far as to sacrifice her relationship with her father to take you aside when there was nothing in it for her. That’s how much she cares for you.

Okay? Netty, you don’t, you don’t need to. I, I, yes, I know I don’t need to sell you to him. You’ve already sold yourself. I’m not in the literal sense of. What I meant to say, Mr. Sandman, who rhymes with Sandman, but you do not put anyone to sleep. In fact, you are a stimulating and fascinating person in my book, but there is nobody in your life who ever has been or ever will be so loyal and so dedicated to you as Madam Mazzeo Guinevere of Riz Check.

And not that it’s any of my business, but if it were, I would already have a ring on this fine woman’s finger.

Yes, Victor. Thank you for calling and I, I really appreciate your input on this. Yeah, you too.

Um, he wanted to talk to me about Bella really. What’d he say

That he fully supports my decision to shut up the magazine? Does he? You know, I was so curious as to one, how he knew about my decision since I just made it today, and you are the only one I discussed it with.

So what you, you think I said something to him? I know you did. Because Victor told me. So

tell your dad if he wants the results of his test, he’s gonna have to come and get them himself. I hope you understand. Yeah, right. Um, of course. Yeah. Uh, and I actually need to go. I’m don’t wanna leave you around. See it though. Yeah, sure. Thanks. Thanks for nothing. Damnit. How am I gonna figure out if my dad’s lying?

I don’t think I heard him. Right. Did you just say you approve of something I’m doing? Oh, very much so. Okay. What if I told you that I don’t? Johnny’s the Dera. He, you don’t have to care. I do. Tony doesn’t even want to follow in his father’s footsteps. He wants to make movies and he’s good at it. Well, he can pick daisies for all I care.

He is still a dememer and will still be the heir apparent. And the more time you spend with the Demaris, the stronger our position will be. And Jess, when. Scathingly. Brilliant idea. Away. Shin is in town for a meeting. No shin. Mm-hmm. . I think I see where you’re going with this because you are as brilliant as you are.

Give him a call.

Hello, Mr. Shin, AJ Dira, how are you going? I’m fine. What can I do for you? I was just thinking it’s been a long time since we’ve broken bread. How would you like to stop by the mansion and dine with your co CEOs? Well, that sounds lovely. When do you have in mind? Well, if you don’t have any plans tonight, whenever you can get here.

Well, I’m vanished. Didn’t, uh, well my daughter’s out that much of a cook,

I’ll be there immediately. Excellent

way. Shin is on his way. And now all we have to do is wait for the.

Oh, uh, Mr. Shin. Hey. Hello. Hello, Johnny. Good to see you. Jim Wynn has been saying some very nice things about. . Really? Mm-hmm. . Oh, that’s, uh, that’s good to hear. What? I’m going to give you two some privacy, so have a good night. Hey, I hope I didn’t chase him off. Believe me. You didn’t. What’s up? I was wondering if, if you had a minute to take a look at something.

Yes, sure. I, uh, I was able to get into the lab and I got a copy of those test results my dad had ordered on that drug that I found, and I. Have no idea what I’m looking for. How did you get this? I have my ways. Okay. Well, I am an expert in cyber, not Ken. Mm-hmm. . Let’s cross source this puppy. Oh, well I already did a web search, so did you try the dark web?

No, no. I, I guess I should have.

Okay. I got a hit. Oh, what? Uh, your dad said this was some kind of recreational street drug. Yeah, well, I think if your Uncle Stephan wanted to get high, he probably wouldn’t use a rare medical grade tr that not only induces euphoria, but also has a host of nasty side effects. So what you’re saying, my dad lied to me.

I’m sorry. I think so.

This is perfect. And when Stephan tries to drug me at dinner, you will turn the tables on him. Right. And he will make a fool of himself in front of none other then way shin. Mm-hmm. the best person to witness his foolishness. Exactly. And given Mr. Shin’s notoriously thin patience, my brother could be on the unemployment line by tomorrow.

Yeah, I hope so. But ooh, do you really wanna do this under shin’s nose? I mean, there’s more people to, to witness you switching the drinks, and it’s a risk unwilling to take besides if the truth ever does come out. I haven’t drugged anyone. It’s all on Steph and my, my hands are clean.

Auntie Maggie, don’t you, aunt Maggie? Me, according to Victor, you told him I didn’t have enough experience to make an informed decision. Whoa. I I, I didn’t say that. Not in so many words. Well, then what did you mean by calling him and giving him a heads up that your incompetent wife was about to make a big mistake?

Oh, I definitely didn’t say that. No, but you went on and on to him about how I was cav literally shutting down this magazine. That he named after his beloved daughter. Nice use of pathos. I’ll give you that. Did you seriously think that DIB would overrule me? That he would side with you over his own life?

That he wouldn’t tell me that you went behind my back, auntie. I’m sorry. And believe me, I know my place around here. It’s just that I passionately believe in the magazine. I felt like it was worth fighting for. It’s nothing personal. Nothing personal. I have, I have reminded you twice today that that chair no longer belongs to you.

I am your boss, Alex. I am the C of this company. I know, and I respect that. Do you, because your behavior says otherwise. Now if you can’t accept the fact that I now have the job that you think you’re entitled to, well then you know you are free to resign. Now

let me fix my work here is done. I will leave you two love birds alone. Go bend Jimmy’s ear some more. Maybe a few other choice Body parts Chowk.

Um, I’m sorry he put you on the spot like that. Please know that I, I did not put him up to my, I I know you, I know you didn’t. Grandma we’ll say he did have a few valid points though. I agree. And you did for everything on the line for me. You sacrificed your own happiness to try to make things work for Sarah and me, and you’re so very grateful for that g.

I can never thank you enough, but, um, I thought with time maybe things would become clearer and I know I promised you a decision when my divorce came through, and

the truth is

I still love Sarah. I dunno if I’m ever gonna get over her. And you deserve someone who’s gonna love you with their whole heart.

I’m sorry, I just, I think the of us can be

not right.

Damn it. And I, I was worried enough when I thought my dad or my uncle might have a drug problem. But if my dad is the one giving the drugs to my uncle just to get ahead in business, I mean, I know, I know they don’t have the best relationship and back stabbing is kind of the dememer way. But after everything Stefan’s been through, who knows what that could do to him.

And if my dad were to get caught, I mean, okay, take a deep breath, Johnny. We still don’t know what’s really going on here. Nicole said that the investigator found Stephan’s fingerprints on that file. Yeah, we don’t know that for sure. Now. I mean, she’s, she’s sleeping with my dad. She’d lie for him in a heartbeat.

Oh my God. What? Your dad called my dad and invited him over to dinner. Okay. Let’s say all of this is true. Could he be planning to drug Stephan and then get him to make a total fool of himself in front of my.

Yeah, I bet that’s exactly the plan. Look, I, I, I’m not just gonna sit here and do nothing about it. Okay.

Johnny, my man. Okay. Paa Uncle Stephan. Uh, I, uh, I really hate to tell you this, but I think somebody might be drugging you,

Mr. Shannon. Of course. You know the lovely Nicole Walker, how you do Indeed. She is doing a super job at Basic Black. Thank you so much. But I understand that your co c e o was arrested for kid. Yes, but we expect all the charges against Brady to be dropped. But in the meantime, we’re fully cooperating with police.

We don’t want to have any scandals on our watch

on that subject. I, I have to confide. I’m rather worried about my brother. I’m not sure what Dr. Wolf put him through, but I’m afraid it may have taken its toll on his physical and mental health. He doesn’t seem to be himself lately Really. I haven’t heard any word about Stephan’s behavior at work, but I’ve heard plenty about yours.

I’m sorry. I how you understand.

You know what, and uh, I don’t.

I mean, sure when there’s blackmail to be done or your dead body to hide or claps are closing in, you have no problem calling on good old friend Gwen.

Have a romp around in the hay to thank me,

but I am never the person you would take home to meet your mother. Am I my mother’s dad? To me she is. The point is you see me as some sort of a fearless bad girl. Don’t you have a couple of laughs with, and I help you out with your schemes, but you will never actually commit to me. I was gonna marry you until you drugged Sarah.

You killed Susan Banks. You killed Laura Horter. That was an accident. Was it? The point is, is that you are no better than me, Zander, and you never will be. And you put Sarah up on this pedestal because you think I will never measure up. Isn’t that right?

Listen, then what you think?

Maybe like, that’s my thing. Good God.

Johnny, who do you think is drugging me and why? Look, I, I can’t get into all the details right now. Okay. All I can tell you is just be careful what you eat and drink. All right. Especially tonight. Okay. I need more information. That’s all I got for you right now. Just, just, uh, please take care. Okay?

I hope I did the right thing.

It seems to me that you’re more of a danger to the company after that debacle of the press conference. My portfolio is still recovering. My sincere apologies, Mr. Shin. Look, I’m not one to make excuses, but I had a terrible flu then, but I’m fine now. My brother, however, I’m afraid he may have permanent brain damage as a result of what he’s been put through.

Oh, and you invited me over so I could see for myself. I invited you here as our guest. , but I do think you’ll be concerned about what you witnessed.

I am here today with em Winter Mike Manning, who plays Caleb on the Bay. Part of the season is set in Puerto Rico. Did you have fun filming in Port Rico? Well, I knew he was town love filming in Puerto Rico. Hi, how are you feeling, Stephen? Much better. Thank you. Mr. Shin, has anybody offered to make you drink?

No, not yet. I’ll make a round for all of us. Mm-hmm. . Oh, Mr. Schmit is so great that you came over for dinner.

I know the business world is full of back biting and in fighting, and it’s especially distressing when family members do it to each other, which is why the Titan c e o, Merry-go-round ends. With me, so if you can’t deal with it, I can deal with it Auntie, believe me. If I’m not quitting, I’m sorry that we got off to this rocky start.

Truly, that’s just that I am proud of the work that we did at Bella, and now I have developed these personal connections with a lot of the employees and, okay, well if you feel that strongly about it,

well then baby, you should be the one to go and break the news to them. But you want me to fire the staff, but in the meantime, I want you to bring me all the accounts that you are in charge of. I’d like to review them for all of them, every single one. And Alex, if you ever go behind my back again to Victor, I will fire you.

And the next time I won’t be joking.

You’re brutally honest with me. Now, I’m gonna be brutally honest with you.

Have you an idiot? Told out hope for us. You’re an idiot, Quinn. You’re wickedly smart and so beautiful and sensitive enough. Do not patronize. Please.

I don’t wanna be your friend.

I don’t wanna be your business partner. In fact, I don’t even know how I’m gonna bloody come into work every day and have to look at your face when all I want, all I want, Sandra, is just to claw your bloody eyes out right now.

Because where are you meant to leave me on or not? That is, that is what you did. I’m sorry. Handle things very poorly. I know that and I know I have to fix it. I have to make things easier for you because I’ve obviously hurt you very badly. I

look, this is, uh, This is your dad’s paper. You should be the one to run it. Yes, I know. You’ll do a bang up job without me, so, um,

goodbye. Bye.

I thought that follow up interview was tomorrow. Yeah, I, uh, I just came by to let you know that somebody else might be handling it. Oh, why is that? Well, I took your advice about having a candid conversation with Gwen about our future from the expression on your face. Take it. It didn’t go well. No, it did not.

In fact, don’t think it could have gone any worse.

Hi, can I get a refill please with the bloody alcohol at this time? Would you bad day washed? Join a club.

How did your uncle take the news? Uh, well, I mean, he wanted to know more obviously, but I couldn’t just out my own father. I wonder if he’s gonna think it’s your father anyway. Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch, I guess it’s inevitable now I’m gonna have to confront my father.

I mean, you can’t just do something that underhanded and expect to get.

You know, like what you just did to me.

Here’s. Mr. Shin. Careful Mr. Shin. My brother has a very heavy hand with the V. Well, I have a strong hair. No worries. Oh, step in. You forgot the olives, so I did.

Well, we must be fresh out. Really. I know. I saw them earlier. Yeah. I’m so glad you were able to join us, Mr. Shin. I’m very glad to be here. Yeah. And I know that Shep is making beef Wellington, so I hope it’s to your liking. Oh, sounds wonderful. Yeah. Ah, hit it down, huh? Ah, don’t know how I missed him. Ah, that’s all I, I’m sure he was just feeling a little bit off still.

Oh no. That nap did me just right. I’d like to propose a toast to the future of DiMera Enterprises. Here. Here, you’re here.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You don’t move from this five hours, please tell me at least got lunch. Not yet. I need this report to be flawless. Stefan DiMera isn’t happy. Mm-hmm. Trask has made it very clear that she wants Eric Andre to go. And I don’t want her rightness harder than she already has. So I am crossing my T’s and dotting my eyes.

All right. Well, I appreciate your dedication, detective Hunter, but you need to eat Well. I didn’t see you duck out for lunch either. You wanna come with, yeah, I don’t think that’s such a good idea.

So how is this for a hot scoop? Roman Brady has been talking to his dead wife’s urn and he claims that it talks back to him. I mean, , obviously, poor chaps going mental, right? Yeah. Obviously.

What’s the matter with you? Why are you so Moy?

It’s about Sarah, isn’t it?

You don’t have to worry Ms. Price. We’re all over it. Now. I, I understand that Sloan Peterson had your assets frozen, but we’re gonna be able to spin that to your advantage. We’re gonna push the narrative that, um, that you know, she’s angry and desperate and persecuting you because of some twisted desire for.

Of course. Yeah, we’ll notify you as as soon as the press press done.

Chadwick just the person I wanted to see. I’m working Leo, so am I. What for the garbage column that you write. It’s not garbage. It’s gossip. As you well know, the spectator has very high journalistic standards, so every word I write must be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help me, Chris Hemsworth.

So does SJ p r have a.

About what Sloan Peterson situation. No, the Alex Keka situation.

Press release is ready for your approval Mr. Jaki. Oh, well thank you. But Mr. Kikis is my dad. I thought it’d be best to keep things professional at the office.

Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret now that I’m c e o. We don’t have to keep it professional. In fact, we could have sex on my desk, right? Seriously,

say something dirty to me.

What are you doing in my chair? What?

I said, what are you doing in my chair?

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

Thank you for waiting. Yeah, no problem. All right. Here is the job application. Just, uh, fill it out and I’ll take it from there. Cool. So has anyone else applied or you’re actually the first and I am so glad that you showed up when you did because we are desperate for another set of hands. Wow. Sweet. This must be doing really well then.

It is. And. Uh, my most valuable employee just left me in the lurch. What happened? Well, she wasn’t just my employee, she was also my girlfriend and, uh, we broke up. Sorry to hear that. I’ve been there and it sucks. So on top of dealing with a heartbreak, I am also getting slammed out Burke. And that’s exactly why my mama used to say, don’t get your honey where you get your money.

Your mom’s right. . Yeah. I’m mixing business. And pleasure is always a risk day about your one true love. Were you,

are you thinking about Sarah? No, no. I was, um, I was thinking about her mother actually. Maggie, why? Oh, Michael Uncle just made her the new CEO of Titan Industries yesterday, and by the time the word got out, we’d already put the paper to bed. Oh well, Oh well come on. When This’s big news should have been on the front page.

Yeah, the business section. Perhaps with the arrest of Brady and Eric for kidnapping the COCE O of Damara Enterprises. Well, clearly that is the winner here and the Brothers Grim was an inspired headline. If I do say so myself, that’s pretty clever. Yeah. Under Sure. Fire Away to Sell more papers. Have we sold more paper?

Dunno yet. But um, I’m sure it’s gonna be an improvement. Still wish we had the Tyson story, and I wish you’d start focusing on what’s in front of you instead of the one who got away.

Sorry, it’s a force of habit. Here you are. Have a habit of sitting in the CEO’s chair. Well, Sonny, never minded sharing his desk. Well, I. Okay. Got it. Alex, are you gonna have a problem reporting to me? No. No, auntie Not at all. This is what Uncle Vic wants, so I will do my best for Titan in a supporting role.

Well, I know that you were very disappointed that he didn’t give you the. No, really auntie. It’s cool. Lately I’ve had to get used to a lot of things. I don’t really like

what Alex Curios situation. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Oh, come on now. Chadwick, don’t play dumb with me. Alex works for Titan. You work for Titan’s PR company. What’s the skinny behind the musical chair situation? In the executive suite, there are no musical. Victor Carus found the ideal CEO O candidate, Maggie Carus, and the board is convinced that should be the perfect fit.

I’m not interested in lines from the press release. I wanna know what happened behind the scenes, the backstabbing, the double crossing, the betrayal. Sorry to disappoint your vast readership, but there was none of that. Oh, really? I heard Alex was a shoeing for the job, and then Victor did a 180 at the last minute and chose Maggie instead.

Something must have prompt.

Okay. You want the real skinny? Yeah, I want the real skinny. It was you. What? Yep. You reached out to Vic for comment about Alex’s extracurricular activities with Alex Chanel. So we reconsider, are you saying Victor passed over Alex because he’s a man whore? I didn’t use that term, but Sure. Ah, what’s, uh, what’s going.

Wanna answer me?

Okay. Looks pretty straightforward. Do you want any references? Yes, please. There is a space for that. Right on the bottom, you put their phone numbers and then you can circle one of the two hour timeframes in which you want me to call them. It eliminates phone tag. Ooh, that’s smart. . Oh, believe me, I haven’t always been this organized, but time management is crucial to run a successful bakery.

Mm-hmm. , uh, especially when you have to get up at the Graco Dawn every day. See you mean, and tell me you’re not pulling all items at the club. That will be a no. . . But anyway, I really do need to hire someone. So if you could just fill that out and then get it back to me as soon as possible. Yeah, will do. Oh, and by the way, I am.

Talia. Um, I’ll be back soon.

I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t it be a good idea for us to grab lunch? Didn’t you read Abe’s email? His office sent out a new policy on inter-office relationships, and we’re not supposed to be fraternizing. , but how’s that Fraternizing partners have lunch together in the job all the time. Yeah. Well, that’s the thing.

I’m not, I’m not, we’re not partners. I’m your boss. So come on, Ray. I mean, we had burgers at the Brady Pub on Valentine’s Day. You didn’t seem to have a problem with it. I mean, it’s, it’s not like it was a date.

Wait, did you think it was

anyone going to answer me? Well, I was just asking Chad for a comment on the shake up at Titan, but since you are the brains at SJ p r, perhaps you’d like to do the honors. Certainly, after an exhaustive search, Victor Kakkis has found the ideal c e o candidate in Maggie Kakkis. The board is every confidence she’ll be the perfect fit, not you too.

Excuse me. Chad already gave me the party line. I want your comment on the real story. That’s what I just did. Exhaustive. I don’t think so. Victor was going to choose Alex and then changed his mind at the last minute. According to Chad, it’s at least partly because he was a, uh, whatever Mr. Damer told you was strictly off the record.

Why is there more to the story? You were dating Alex Kiki exclusively, and then your relationship suddenly fell apart. Is that part of the reason why Victor chose not to name him c e o? We’re done. Was Alex having threesomes behind your back? Did he cheat on you with the bisexual baker? Honey, did he dump you because you couldn’t satisfy him in certain aspects of sleep enough?

It has nothing to do with her. They broke up cuz Alex shut off her phone. What? They were on a date. Alex didn’t want to be interrupted, so he shut off her phone. She didn’t get the sick. Goodbye to her dying mom there.

All these emails. Well, we’ve been in meetings all day. Right, right. Uh, just getting to know the different departments on Maggie, do you need a little help with the lay of the land? Um, oh, I got it. Thanks. Okay. It’s just that last night called me a right hand man. You said that you’d be counting on me to help bring you up to speed on some things.

Well, the meeting and the meetings, they, they took care. . Okay. Okay. Okay. So what are you tackling first? Um hmm. Well, I’d like to find ways to make Titan run more efficiently. Decide where we, the wisest for us to vest moving forward. Huh? There was one area that stood out to me in particular publishing. Oh, well, as soon as Sonny put me in charge of that department, my first order of business was to make Bella Magazine the flag.

The potential is huge. So we’ve been increasing the profile for the business, strengthening the brand. In fact, I just turned in the latest advertising budget for approval. Yes, I saw that. But you won’t be needing my approval. I’m shutting down the magazine,

but this publication has a very bright future and I just. Wish that you’d stopped second guessing. And of course, you, you’re, you’re absolutely right. I’m sorry. I mean, we couldn’t have wished for a better lead story on day one than Brady and Eric’s arrest. It’s just after everything we did to get this paper, I just really wanted to be a success.

Well, I can’t fault you for that. Can I partner? Oh. That’s Skylar with the numbers. Sky. Talk to me. Really? You course. Want a damn press release. Thanks. So our numbers are up 20% since last week. And not just new sales stands, I mean online traffic as well. Our subscriptions are through the room and we’ve even outsold the intruder.

Oh my God, that’s incredible.

That is not what I was expecting to hear. Tell me more, please. How did you feel when you realized you’d never get to speak to your mother again? Leo, don’t do that. Can you explain what was going through your mind when you walked into her hospital room and realized? The wft of life. Okay. If you don’t get out of here right now, I’m gonna take this phone and shove it so far, okay?

Okay. But I feel like I was asking very tactfully, just go, I’m going and I am very sorry about your mother. Get out.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Wait, did you just say you were shutting down Bella? Well, actually I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. The magazine has been struggling for some time. Yeah, I’ve been working to get it back on track. Alex, I’m sorry, but the numbers are The numbers by shuttering Bella Titan can take a ride off . I got it.

Auntie, can you please just gimme a little bit more time to show you what I can do? I’m afraid the decision’s been made. What about the staff? What are you, are you just gonna let ’em all go without any warning? We’ll offer a generous severance package. A severance package. And what about Uncle Vic? Bella was named after his daughter.

Do you really think he’s gonna sign off on this? He doesn’t have to. Fitzer isn’t the c e o of this company. I am

sorry. Sorry. I just, um, I got really excited about the numbers as well.

Skyler has told me we are up 20% from last week. Isn’t that amazing? So between lady whistleblowers, skating wit, you are awe inspiring work ethic. We give the British tabs a run for their money, right? Governor? Oh, I’ll be back. Where are you going? Don’t you wanna break out the SHS and celebrate? I can’t just sit around here congratulating each other.

If we’re gonna keep these numbers up, it’s gonna require work and stories that actually matter. I’m gonna see if Maggie will talk to me about. Take you over at tire.

What’s her problem?

Hi mama. I hope you didn’t come by for a bear claw because we are all out. Oh, no. No, honey. I didn’t come by for that. Actually. I came to talk to you. Okay. What’s. I just had a meeting with Bell Brady from here on out, she is going to be our attorney, our only attorney. I fired the rest of my team. Why? What happened?

Because they got their behinds handed to them by Sloane Peterson. What happened? Oh honey, on nothing good. You see, all of my assets have been frozen and so have yours.

I didn’t think it was a date, our dinner on Valentine’s Day. No, not at all. No, I just, um, I’m not at the time anyway. What do you mean? Not at the time. All right. You know what, Jada, as much as I, I enjoyed our evening, I just, I think it’s best that we don’t do it again and. I hope you’re not offended by that.

Offended. No. If that’s what you want. Yeah, that’s what I think it’s, yes. I think that that’s best to not socialize outside of work. Yeah, yeah. Right. I just, um, I don’t want there to be any confusion, infusion confusion, so that I don’t think. Hmm. That you’re interested in me in a way that you’re not. Yeah.

Right. I’m, yeah. Even though that’s, uh, not exactly the case. Ray, are you seeing it? Are you interested in me?

I am sorry, what was the question? Well, you said you didn’t want any confusion. No. You didn’t want me to get the wrong idea. Didn’t want you thinking that you were interested in me. Huh? But then you said that wasn’t the case. No. Right. Did say that. Didn’t I? Brief? Listen, aside from being my boss, you’re my friend.

I’m a good friend, so you can tell me honestly. Do you wanna be in one friends?

There she is. Talia. Oh my God. Oh my God. Honey, it’s so good to see you. I know you too. Okay. I’m guessing you two know each other very well. Brave. I’d like you to meet my sister, Talia Hunter. Wow. Are you saying I can’t access any of my money? You can access some of your money. Just not much. This is insane.

How am I supposed to run a business? Well, it’s only temporary. Baby bail is going to file a motion and get it undone. Okay. When? Well, hopefully soon. Hopefully. Hopefully. Okay. What am I supposed to do in the meantime? Well, we’ll just have to tighten our purse strings. The courts are going to be watching us very closely, looking out for any unnecessary expenditures.

Like what? Well, for starters, You can take down that sign.

It’s all about the bottom line. I get it. I didn’t mean to sound cavalier. I mean of, of course Victor wants to honor his daughter’s memory, but he also wants Titan to thrive for generations to come. Amber, Bella. That was my baby. What am I supposed to do now? Oh, don’t worry, you know? Ah, I’ll find a place for you where I hear congratulations are in order.

Oh my goodness, . Well, thank you. I can’t think of a more perfect choice for the new ceo. Don’t you agree? Go get a coffee.

What’s her problem? Oh, sorry. I’ve been hanging around too much with, uh, Leo Stark. I, me to rephrase. Is Alex upset that Victor passed him over for the job? Oh, I think it’s fair to say that he’s upset. God knows I’ve been there. Yeah. Speaking of jobs, I understand. Congratulations are in order for you as well.

Although, I have to admit, I was a bit surprised that Jack and Jennifer. Uh, hand it over the spectator to you and Gwen. Oh, clearly they thought we had potential and they were right. Our first issue was a huge success. Hmm. Good for you. I was just telling Gwen actually that, uh, if you wanna keep this momentum going, we need to keep delivering big for our readers.

And I can’t think of anything bigger than an exclusive interview with Titan Industry’s brand new ceo.

So that’s why you’re here. It’s . So come on Maggie. When you grant me the interview, are you gonna write me off the way your daughter did?

So you just planted one on the guy? Gosh, it was Unpremeditated, I swear. I just. I sort of just attacked him like I was a dog in heat. Oh, I would’ve loved to have seen that. It’s not funny. Mattie. Relax. Sugar Plum. You and Zandy hit a homer a few weeks ago, so you got to first base just now, what’s the big deal?

Q and all those bloody baseball metaphors for God’s sake. And actually it wasn’t a big deal to him, which is why it’s such a big deal to. English, please. Look, when I walked in here before the kiss, he was sitting over there looking so utterly miserable. Did he say why? Well, he says it’s because we lost the Titan story, but it’s obvious that it’s because he was pining over Sarah,

why the hell would you do that, Chad? Why would you tell Leo anything about my mom? I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. All right. He just, he was coming after you with all the stuff about the breakup with Alex and I just, uh, I thought, thought what? You could save me. I’m sorry. It was an accident. I just, it was a, a, a blurt, uh, a blurted.

Was it also a blurt when you confirmed that Alex is a man whore. Okay. Last night you said that you were pissed off about that too. Yeah, I did, but I didn’t share that opinion with the media. You do realize that we work for Titan, that it’s our job to protect them. Yeah, but I, but then why would you shoot your mouth off to a freaking gossip columnist?

Because I’m an idiot.

I’m sorry. I, I, I, I shouldn’t have said anything. You mentioned Alex, and I just, I reacted emotionally. You can’t do that with a reporter. Ever. I know. I’m sorry. It was a mistake. It was a, it was a huge mistake. I don’t like Alex. You know that. I think he’s a douchebag, but it doesn’t, it doesn’t gimme the right to be a jerk.

So I’m, I’m sorry, but honestly, I’m glad he didn’t get the c e o gave. Is that what this is about? You don’t want me working with Alex? What? No. Okay. So you’re not trying to sabotage my firm’s relationship with our biggest client because you don’t think I can keep things professional with my ex. I didn’t say that.

What it sounds like that’s what you meant, but if you didn’t, you should figure out how to communicate more clearly. Might come in handy since you work in pr.

Oh, sorry, I, I wasn’t paying attention. Me neither. It’s all good. My mind’s been someplace else mostly on the fact that I, uh, didn’t get the c e o job. I’m sure you’ve heard I did. I also feel pretty stupid about bragging the way I did. You must be relieved. You don’t have to worry about reporting to me anymore.

Oh, as I told you, I didn’t foresee any problem with this working together. Yeah, and for what it’s worth, I’m sorry that you didn’t get the job. I know how much you wanted it. Thanks.

Hey, it’s not like Titan doesn’t need you anymore. I mean, with your experience and expertise, I’m sure that Maggie is psyched to have you to rely on. Well, unfortunately you’re wrong. Maggie couldn’t care less about what I think.

It’s no secret that I was not happy the way you treated Sarah, but I do know how much you love. And because I believe in giving people second chances, I’m sorry she didn’t give you one really, really . And now that you’re in a legitimate line of work, I very much wanna see you succeed. So yes, I will give you an interview.

Oh, come on, Zandy can’t still be pining over Sarah. Oh no, why not? He’s still madly in love with her. That is just your paranoia talking, and even if he is still enamored of Miss Snooty pants, honey, it won’t last long. Oh no. What did your crystal balls tell you? That I don’t need my crystal balls to tell me that when a person is out of sight, they are much more quickly out of mind.

Well, I don’t see it that way because although Sarah might be out of Salem, she’s still, she’s still very much in his heart. God, you should have seen his face. When I kissed him. He looked absolutely horrified. Oh, I’m such an idiot. Fear not . Before you know it, the man of your dreams is going to forget about the woman who got away and focus on the beautiful woman in front of him.

Okay?

Why do I have to take down the sign? Isn’t her? To hire help will cost you money you don’t have right now. Okay, but without Ali Mama, I’m drowning. I’m sorry, baby. You’re just gonna have to bite the bullet. Un until Bell falls us out. Then you can bring on whoever you want. Except I wanted to bring someone on right now because it may be too late by then.

She’s really great and she’ll probably find another job if I don’t bring her on immediately. What? What? What are you talking about? You have somebody in mind. Yeah, I do. And she’s the perfect candidate. Talia, I like you to meet my boss. Commissioner Hernandez. No, no. Please call me Rafe. Wow. I’ve heard a lot about you.

So what are you doing now? What brings you to town? Well, I miss my big sis. You know, it’s been forever, since we had our kickboxing brunch. kickboxing brunch. Yeah. First we box, and then we brunch. Ah. Mm-hmm. . Hey, listen. I wish you would’ve called and let me know you were coming. I mean, I would’ve booked as a class, made some restaurant reservations.

Well, I wanted to surprise you, and I can’t think of a better surprise than a visit from my little sister. Yeah, actually it’s more than a visit. I’m moving to Salem.

Excuse me ladies. So you’re moving here. I thought you were living with someone in New York. Yeah. Um, We broke up. Oh, I’m so sorry. I cried my eyes out for a couple days and then, you know, I decided enough. No more wallowing, you know, time for a fresh start here in Salem. Just like that. You don’t seem too happy about it.

No, no, no. Talia, I, I am, I am. It’s just that this is, this is a big change. I mean, have you, have you really thought this through? I mean, what’s it to think about? I want to get out of New York and be near you. I know, I know. But you need to earn a living. Find a place to live. I figured I’d crash with you. My place is pretty small and I’m sure we’ll figure it out.

What about a drop already on it?

Oh my Lord. , these are delicious. Told you Talia is the perfect candidate for Sweet Pits. Mm mm Well, I can see. Taste. Why you want to snap her up right now? Mm-hmm. like, well, just tell us. You’ll have to be patient, mama. Wow. You look, you run the most successful bakery in town now, and if she wants a job mm-hmm.

I’m sure she’ll understand.

I don’t, I don’t understand. Why would Maggie shut down? For a tax write off. You’re kidding. No, I’m not kidding. And I had big plans for that magazine. Well then don’t give up. Try to change her mind, Steph. I did. Well, not hard enough. Obviously, I didn’t say it would be easy, but it is possible. How do what we do in pr spin a negative into a.

Right now, Maggie sees Bella as a liability. Make her see it as an opportunity. A very lucrative one. Yeah, but like I said, Maggie doesn’t care about my opinion. , she doesn’t care about my goals. She’s the c e o Now she’s got her own goals. So that’s it. Everything you’ve worked so hard for, just goes.

It’s not what I want, Seth, but I, but nothing if you really care that much about Bella, fight for it.

That was terrific. Maggie, thank you so much. Um, I’m sorry but, um, I really don’t have time to give you more, but, uh, please, uh, talk to my assistant and, uh, she will schedule a longer interview. Will do. In the meantime, I’ll type this up and get it over to g. How, um, you know, what are, how are things going with you two?

Are you a couple again? No, I’m, no, I, well, you know, after Sarah and I split up, we did spend some quality time together, very delicately put, look, I’ve been very clear with Quinn that I’m not over Sarah, and I dunno if I ever will be. Maybe now that Sarah’s left hand, that’ll. I just dunno. And in the meantime it’s not fair to Lee G went on, is it?

Mm. No. Get me started. Okay. What she did to my daughter. I have very little sympathy for her, but you know, I do agree. You shouldn’t start a relationship when you still have feelings for someone else. Well, I should get going. Okay. Congrats again. Well, thank you. Of all the people, Victor’s putting that chair over the years.

You are the best choice here. Thanks.

I told Zander the same thing. He should just focus on the present. Well, trust me. As soon as he has that divorce decree in hand, he will have no choice but to accept that his marriage is over, assuming that the papers go through, considering the office twit lost the originals. Right. Did that seem a little suspicious to you?

Suspicious how maybe someone down there is a Zara Fan Z. Did you just give them a couple’s name then? Pretty soon it’s gonna be all about Guder. Gwenda. Oh my God. That’s dreadful. No Gwenda, no. Not good either. Sounds like something you used to mix me. A froze. Why don’t we just keep it at Gwen and Zander soon to be my favorite couple of all time madly in love making beautiful babies together.

You know, maybe it’s time for lady whistleblower to Sasha away down to the clerk’s office and sniff around. See if anybody’s poking their grubby little paw where they don’t belong. Yeah.

Madly in love making gorgeous babies together

shared your optimism.

Did TA leave? Uh, yeah, she went to follow up on a job opportunity. Oh, wow. Impressive. Well, that’s a pretty great surprise though, huh? Finding out your sister’s moving to town. That’s her specialty. Spontaneous decision making, huh? Well, sounds like you have some arrangements to make, so, uh, I’ll let you get to it.

Wait, we didn’t finish our conversation conversation. You and me. Uh, you know what? On on second thought I put you on the spot. That was way too pushy with me. Um, nevermind. Oh, and that’s same. So, uh, I gotta take it. So you need to grab some lunch.

Alright. All righty. All done. References and everything. Uh, Talia, there’s a. There’s something I have to tell you about the job, what

you’re hired. Yes. Yes.

Just sent you the press release for pulling a. Thanks. I’ll take a look.

I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry. I love my, my personal feelings get in the way of me doing my job. My promise you, I won’t, I won’t make that mistake again. I care about this company. I care about you. We have a good thing going, a great thing I think. I don’t wanna screw that up. Me neither.

So did you, um, speak to Maggie? We set up a proper interview for the Weekend magazine. She gave me some quotes we can use in the meantime. Wonderful. So, um, should we, uh, talk about tomorrow’s paper then? I was thinking you could talk about us.

I’m.

Hey, Uncle Vick, it’s me. I was wondering if we could have a little chat about Bella.
