Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Belle visited Brady and Eric in jail. She wasn’t surprised Eric was there because of the way he was acting lately. She wondered why Brady ended up in jail. Brady said Stefan didn’t give him a choice since Stefan was obsessed with Chloe. She understood how he felt, but she thought his actions were hard to defend. She turned to Eric and asked him what his excuse was to do what he did. Eric told her that he helped Brady do what needed to be done. Belle thought it was funny that he was concerned with being loyal to the family except when she’s involved. He couldn’t believe she was making the situation about her. She told him that he made it about her when he hit Shawn and questioned her judgement. Eric thought she was going to represent him. She informed him that he burned a bridge with her. She would defend Brady, but Eric was on his own. Eric went off on Belle so Brady got involved. Brady asked her to defend Eric. Belle refused to defend him. She told the guard to release Brady.

EJ found Nicole reading the paper. She read what happened with Eric and Brady. He told her not to worry about what they did to Stefan. She should be focused on what they were going to do to Stefan. They started plotting when Stefan walked in the room. They pretended to be concerned for what Brady and Eric did to him. He said that Stefan did him a favor. He knows that Gabi is the one he loves. Stefan told them what happened. He told them how Gabi decided to stay with Li. EJ thought they should talk about it over coffee. Nicole thought the game was about to begin. Stefan planted drugs in one of the mugs. Nicole sipped it and said the cream was bad. EJ switched his mug with Stefan’s mug while he got her a new cup. Stefan wanted to deal with the bank on his own, but EJ thought they should work together. He finally agreed, but got a call from Gabi to meet in the park. He drank his coffee before he left. Sloan saw Trask at the station. They took turns sniping away at each other. Sloan told Trask that she needed to throw the book at Eric. Trask wondered who she would sleep with if she put him in jail. Sloan wondered who told her about them. She found out through the newspaper. She read Leo’s column and he talked about her affair with Eric. Sloan was upset when Belle appeared with Brady. She told Trask not to oppose his release. Trask said that Stefan didn’t make a statement against Brady and Eric so he might not be too mad about what they did. EJ and Nicole toasted to their plan to get Stefan. Stefan met with Gabi and didn’t feel well.

Update written by Joseph

Gabi wakes up to find Li cooking in the kitchen and questions what he’s doing. Li apologizes for making noise if that’s what woke her up. Gabi asks where everybody is. Li informs her that Wendy and Tripp left for work which is what woke him up, but he can’t complain when the love of his life is living under the same roof as him. Li calls it their first morning together on the road to wedding bliss. Li offers Gabi breakfast but she says she’s not hungry. Li sits with Gabi and asks if she’s still upset that Stefan no longer loves Chloe.

Shawn walks through the town square and comes across Chloe seated at a table. Shawn greets her and asks when she got back. Chloe informs him that it was yesterday and remarks that if you miss one day in this town, you miss a lot as she shows Shawn her tablet with an article about Brady and Eric being arrested.

Belle visits Brady and Eric in their jail cell, commenting that they have gotten themselves in to a fine mess.

EJ enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion where Nicole is reading about Brady and Eric’s arrest. EJ calls it nice for someone else to be dragged through the mud for a change. EJ says that Brady and Eric being arrested for what they did to Stefan is old news and he’s more concerned about what he and Nicole are going to do to Stefan. EJ suggests they focus on that task which Nicole agrees with. Nicole assures that she’s still totally committed to giving Stefan a taste of his own medicine. EJ declares that Stefan will reap what he sowed and he will be the one deemed unfit to be CEO. Stefan then walks in and asks if someone said his name.

At the police station, Melinda reads about Brady and Eric’s arrest until Sloan arrives. Melinda remarks that whoever Sloan is representing is undoubtedly guilty. Sloan responds that she’s not here on business as this is personal because she came to make sure that Melinda throws the book at Eric.

Belle tells Eric that she’s not surprised to see him get arrested again but admits she did not see Brady’s arrest coming. Belle asks if he even thought about Rachel when she already has one parent in prison. Belle questions what they were thinking when kidnapping Stefan is class one felony. Belle warns that if convicted, they could be facing serious prison time. Belle asks why they would do something so stupid. Brady responds that Stefan didn’t give him a choice.

EJ tells Stefan that he and Nicole were just discussing the egregious crimes perpetrated by Eric and Brady as they are outraged and concerned about Stefan going through such a horrible ordeal. Nicole says she can’t imagine what it must have been like to have someone mess with your head like that. Stefan appreciates their concern and outrage but admits they did him a favor because now he knows where his heart lies. Stefan declares that he loves Gabi and only Gabi.

Gabi asks Li why she would be upset that Stefan doesn’t love Chloe anymore when that’s exactly what she wanted, only now she’s stuck in this situation with Li for six months. Gabi complains that it already feels like an eternity. Li encourages her to live in the present. Gabi tells Li that his chances of winning her back are zero. Li wants her to know that he remains undeterred and gave her his DiMera shares as a symbol of his commitment to her. Li declares that Gabi is fighting it now, but will soon realize that he is the man that she belongs with.

Nicole questions Stefan being completely over Chloe which he confirms. Stefan says he had to see Chloe in order to see that his feeling had changed. Stefan explains that he went to see her and it’s as if his feelings for her were never there in the first place. Nicole mocks him letting her down gently. Stefan states that Chloe was letting him down gently, saying she couldn’t be with a man who loved to women at once and then it was like his feelings for her were never there. Nicole calls it good news, especially for Brady. EJ realizes that’s why Stefan missed cocktail hour yesterday when they were waiting for him. Stefan apologizes but EJ says it’s okay as they will have plenty of opportunities to raise a glass together which Stefan says he looks forward to. EJ asks Stefan if this means he will soon be reuniting with Gabi. Stefan questions if EJ is asking as his brother, concerned about his love life, or as a co-CEO concerned about his standing in the company. EJ admits to the first and won’t deny the second. Stefan then confirms it is his wish to be reunited with the woman he loves. Nicole questions what he’s doing here then. Stefan says because for some damn reason, Gabi made a commitment to stay with her husband.

Li and Gabi sit down for breakfast. Li tells her that he’s not asking her to pretend to like him and he wants her to be herself in their arrangement. Li knows he deceived her in the past but he’s determined to be honest and himself from now on. Li suggests giving it a try.

Shawn tells Chloe that it’s clear that the Deverauxs no longer run the Spectator. Chloe admits that Gwen and Xander may have used this as a hit job, but they’re not wrong. Chloe says it’s no wonder that Brady and Eric are in such trouble after what they did to Stefan. Shawn responds that the one sliver of hope is that Belle is on the case.

Belle mocks Brady saying he had no choice but to pull an insanely stupid stunt instead of using his head. Brady argues that Stefan wasn’t going to let Dr. Rolf deprogram him so he had to force him. Belle calls that a confession while Brady complains that Stefan was terrorizing Chloe with his obsession. Brady says the only reason Stefan had feelings for Chloe was because Dr. Rolf messed with his brain. Brady calls it borderline stalking and claims that Chloe had to leave town just to get away from Stefan, so he had to step in and do something. Belle understands his motivation but points out they have no case here, even if she could prove Stefan was a threat because Brady’s actions were extreme and indefensible. Belle then questions what Eric’s excuse is.

Melinda is surprised that Sloan has it in for Eric and asks if they had a falling out. Sloan informs her that Eric stole legal documents from her briefcase without her permission and used them to perpretrate fraud without her knowledge. Sloan states that Eric caused irreparable damage to her reputation. Melinda mocks the idea of her being moral and ethical. Sloan questions if Melinda is going to do her job and prosecute Eric to the fullest extent of the law or if she’s going to make snide comments at her and collect her paycheck. Melinda suggests all of the above. Melinda then asks if she puts Eric in three hots and a cot, then who is going to make Sloan hot in her cot.

Eric tells Belle that his excuse is that he was helping Brady do what needed to be done. Belle guesses the family loyalty runs deep with his brother but not with his sister. Eric questions her making it about herself. Belle argues that he made it about her when he assaulted her husband and then questioned her judgment when she defended Paulina against his girlfriend’s frivolous lawsuit. Eric calls it not relevant and none of her business but notes that Sloan isn’t his girlfriend. Belle asks if that’s because he dumped her or if she cast him aside after his idiotic decision to pose as her paralegal and misrepresented himself to the police which damaged any case against Li Shin. Belle declares that means that Melinda wants Eric’s head and she’s inclined to give it to her.

Li tells Gabi that he will share their plans for the day but Gabi stops him and reminds him that she is no longer employed and her daughter is on the other side of the world, so her plan for the day is to go back to bed and sleep the next six months away. Li points out that it’s a beautiful day and suggests they drive to the lake to feed the baby ducks. Li recalls Arianna telling him about that. Li suggests afterwards, they have a picnic on a paddle boat and then reveals he got tickets to a Van Gogh exhibit at the museum. Gabi points out that he made a lot of plans without consulting her first. Gabi then remarks that she would rather cut her own ear off than go anywhere with him. Gabi says to excuse her as she has a date with some pillows. Li pleads with her that he’s really trying and acknowledges he made some bad decisions but he also knows that under all the hurt, somewhere in Gabi’s big heart, there is room for forgiveness. Li asks her for a chance to help her find that.

Nicole can’t believe Gabi stayed with Li. Stefan doesn’t know the details but says apparently, Gabi made a deal with him with paperwork involved and then Li kicked him out before he could say anything. EJ assures Stefan that he has the full support of DiMera Enterprises and his family. EJ suggests they discuss this over coffee. Stefan calls that an excellent idea and says to allow him to pour it. EJ whispers to Nicole that they will let the games begin as Stefan drugs the coffee. Stefan brings the coffee to them. Nicole tastes hers and complains about the cream being sour so that Stefan takes it back, allowing EJ to switch his cup with Stefan’s behind his back. Stefan brings Nicole a new cup and they toast to DiMera Enterprises.

Gabi agrees to go along with Li’s plans to feed the ducks, have a picnic, and go to the museum, admitting that it might cheer her up but makes him promise not to try to hold her hand or whisper in her ear. Gabi tells him not to rock the boat either. Li calls this the beginning of something special and says he’s just so happy to be spending the day with her. Li decides he will go shower, get ready, and then they will meet back here to start their day together.

Sloan questions how her private life is relevant to Melinda. Melinda says they are not in a court room and says she’s just trying to break the cold ice between them with a little office gossip. Sloan tells her that’s not how gossip works. Sloan says they would have to talk about someone while they’re not here behind their back. Sloan questions who told her anyway about her and Eric. Melinda refers to “Lady Whistleblower’s” gossip column in the Spectator. Sloan asks how they know about her personal life. Melinda then informs Sloan that Lady Whistleblower is Leo Stark, who went in to excruciating detail, writing that according to Sloan, Eric was the best sex of her life and did things she’s never even heard of. Melinda shows Sloan the article in the Spectator, which shocks her.

Shawn informs Chloe that Belle was heading to the police station to see if she could help. Chloe states that if anyone can help them, it’s Belle. Shawn notes that Belle is committed to helping Brady in any way that she can, but he’s not sure she feels the same way about Eric. Chloe questions if he’s saying that Belle won’t take Eric’s case.

Eric tells Belle that he knows he’s made his share of mistakes and that they’ve been at odds recently, but he really appreciates her coming down to help him and he’s glad that he can still coutn on his little sister. Belle asks if he’s serious in thinking that she would come down to bail his ass out after his recent transgressions. Belle declares that there is no way she is taking his case after he blew up every bridge between them. Belle complains that now that Sloan said bye bye, Eric has the nerve to come to her for help after he refused to listen to reason. Eric argues that all Belle has done is rake he and Brady over the coals because she’s so superior. Eric shouts screw that and questions why the hell she’s even here if she didn’t come to represent them. Belle clarifies that she never said she wouldn’t represent Brady, but Eric is on his own. Eric calls Belle smug, arrogant, and judgmental, adding that she thinks she’s smart because of her law degree but points out that she failed the BAR three times. Brady tries to tell Eric to stop while Belle remarks on Eric’s long fall from grace. Brady tells Belle that Eric did all of this for him. Brady adds that he knows Eric has been a horse’s ass since breaking up with Nicole while Eric argues that this has nothing to do with Nicole. Brady tells Belle that he got Eric in to this mess, so he needs her help to get him out of it. Belle calls that very moving and heartwarming. Belle adds that it is very clear to her that Eric was only an accessory to Brady’s crimes, but she has not changed her mind and repeats that she will not be taking Eric’s case. Eric asks what their mom would say if she knew that Belle turned her back on him. Belle tells him not to dare bring up Marlena. Eric argues that she can’t just leave him in here. Belle says to watch her as she then calls out to the guard that she is taking Brady to court for his arraignment.

Shawn explains to Chloe that Belle offered her legal services to Eric and he went out of his way to refuse it and be a world class jerk to her lately. Chloe calls that kind of shocking as she feels like Eric has gone off the deep end and turned to the dark side after breaking up with Nicole. They talk about Eric’s break up with Nicole being his doing. Shawn comments on Eric living without sin for a while but now making up for it since then.

Stefan tells EJ that he knows he’s supposed to be on the call with the bank this morning but suggests EJ should handle this one on his own. EJ asks if he really wants to take that chance, especially with the concern about stock coming from his lapse of judgment. Stefan calls it all the more reason for EJ to fly solo and redeem himself, to prove he’s at the top of his game if he feels up to it. EJ says he feels fine and thanks him, but he still thinks it’s best that they both take the call and demonstrate that they are a team as co-CEOs.

Gabi finishes a call saying she’ll be right there as Li comes out of the shower. Gabi tells Li that sh’s sorry but that was Arianna’s school. Li thought she took Arianna out of school so she could move to New Zealand with Sonny and Will. Gabi says she did but they need her records to start her at the new school and they are having trouble transfering them. Gabi adds that she doesn’t know how long this will take but she really needs to get there. Li says they’ll have plenty of time for ducks another day but offers to go with her to Arianna’s school. Gabi says it’s fine and she can handle it as she quickly exits.

Shawn knows Chloe is worried about Brady but he’s confident that Belle will get him out on bail. Shawn asks if they can just start again when that happens but Chloe says she’s not sure that’s possible. Shawn brings up Brady and Eric succeeding in having Dr. Rolf deprogram Stefan, so he’s no longer in love with Chloe which she confirms. Shawn asks how she feels about that. Chloe calls it fine and says his feelings to begin with were overly intense and she never whole-heartedly believed in Stefan’s love for her. Chloe adds that Stefan’s love for her wasn’t the greatest obstacle that she and Brady were facing. Chloe brings up that Brady’s daughter Rachel hates her and says Brady is convinced they can move past it, but she’s not so sure they can.

Sloan cannot believe the article Leo wrote. Melinda suggests she could sue for libel unless it’s true that Eric was the best sex of her life. Belle and Brady then come up from the jail cell. Belle announces that she is representing Brady. Sloan asks what about Eric. Belle says what about him and asks for a moment with Melinda. Melinda asks if it can’t wait until they are in the courtroom. Belle informs Melinda that she is going to be requesting reasonable bail for Brady, pointing out that he’s not a flight risk or a threat to the community. Melinda remarks that Stefan would disagree. Belle argues that they both know why Brady did what he did and that the circumstances have changed now. Belle hopes Melinda won’t oppose Brady’s release. Belle adds that she noticed Melinda’s complaint doesn’t include a victim statement and asks if there’s a reason that she hasn’t interviewed Stefan yet. Belle guesses Stefan isn’t as upset as she thinks about what Brady did.

EJ asks Stefan if they should get this show on the road. Stefan agrees that a united front will help soothe the markets. EJ says his confidence in him means the world to him. Stefan remarks on trusting your own brother. Stefan gets a call from Gabi, who says she needs to see him immediately in the park. Stefan says he’ll be right there, so Gabi tells him to hurry and hangs up. Stefan tells EJ that normally he would never put his personal life ahead of business affairs but given his recent disasters, he’s sure EJ will understand. Stefan assures that he knows EJ will represent the family well and then exits the mansion, leaving EJ and Nicole disappointed.

Shawn goes to work at the police station. Belle joins him so Shawn asks how the arraignment went. Belle informs him that she made the case to get Brady out on bail. Shawn asks if the judge agreed and if Brady is out.

Brady finds Chloe in the town square and asks if the seat at her table is taken.

Li calls Arianna’s school about the transfer of her records that Gabi told him about, but they inform him that Will settled all of that before they went to New Zealand. Li says he’s sorry for the confusion and that he must have misunderstood his wife as he then hangs up. Li then complains that Gabi looked him dead in the eye and lied to his face.

Stefan meets Gabi in the park.

Sloan visits Eric in his cell and remarks that it looks like someone is in need of a good lawyer.

Nicole reads the gossip column in the Spectator, remarking to herself in disgust about Sloan calling Eric the best sex of her life. EJ then returns from the conference call and says the bank has been dealt with but complains about the numerous opportunities there would have been for Stefan to seem unfit. Nicole points out that they only gave him his first dose. EJ says as long as Stefan believes he’s drugging him, he’ll never expect the next ones. Nicole calls it a perfect plan. EJ declares that it’s only a matter of time before Stefan slips up and the board will have no choice but to kick him out on his ass and he’ll be left on top. Nicole adds that Stefan will be old news.

Gabi tells Stefan that she’s so glad he came. Stefan then starts to feel dizzy causing Gabi to worry and ask if he’s okay.

Update written by Joseph

Alex tells Maggie that he doesn’t understand not being named CEO as Sonny made it sound like a done deal. Maggie responds that Sonny doesn’t decide. Alex argues that he’s the logical choice since he did a damn good job when Sonny was out. Maggie informs Alex that Victor was all set to hand it to Alex when he got an unsettling phone call that changed his mind. Alex questions what she is talking about. Maggie reveals the call came from Leo Stark.

Leo talks excitedly to Gwen about releasing their first edition of the newspaper tomorrow while Gwen remains distracted. Leo says he can tell she’s still thinking about Xander. Gwen complains about how frustrating it is that Xander wants to define their relationship after his divorce is through. Leo encourages her to live in the moment. Gwen worries that Xander’s heart might always belong to Sarah. Leo insists that Xander will come around and any minute now, he’ll walk in and declare his love for her. There is then a knock at the door. Leo excitedly answers the door but it’s Jack.

Xander questions Justin about how there could be a problem with the divorce when they signed the papers weeks ago. Justin responds that things didn’t go exactly as planned and now there’s an issue, so Xander and Sarah are still very much husband and wife.

At the hospital, Sarah reveals to Rex that she is pregnant. Rex calls it amazing that they are having a baby and hugs her.

Alex tells Maggie that Leo is a worthless troll and questions why Victor would ever listen to a word Leo says. Maggie explains that Leo called Victor about the story he is writing for his gossip column including a tale of Alex having a threesome with two bisexual women. Alex asks so what since they were all consenting adults. Maggie adds that Leo is also alleging that Alex’s affair with Allie destroyed her relationship with Chanel. Alex argues that it wasn’t an affair but a drunken mistake. Alex questions who cares about his sex life as it has no bearing on his ability to be a successful CEO. Maggie tells him that it’s the optics of it and one could read him as misogynistic, making his personal life a liability. Maggie states that Victor is not willing to take that risk. Alex calls this wrong. Maggie says she’s sorry. Alex questions which other Kiriakis that Victor picked then.

Xander questions Justin about how he and Sarah can still be married and if Sarah changed her mind. Justin assures that Sarah has remained steadfast in wanting to dump him. Xander asks what the holdup is if they both did what they needed and questions why they are still married.

Rex tells Sarah that the timing is perfect as he was just talking to Emily about how she wanted a little brother or sister but he didn’t want to get her hopes up. Rex then notes that Sarah doesn’t look happy and asks if it’s because she doesn’t want to commit to him. Rex feels this could change things for them if they are having a baby together. Sarah then reveals they are not having a baby and announces that she’s pregnant but it’s not Rex’s child.

Jennifer comes home and welcomes Julie back from her cruise. Julie mentions how she thought she would check the Spectator to see what she had missed. Jennifer notes that she missed quite a bit. Julie says to imagine her surprise when she read Jack’s farewell article. Julie questions them handing the newspaper over to Xander and Gwen which Jennifer confirms. Julie guesses her next question has to be if they’ve lost their minds.

Jack delivers the keys to the Spectator to Gwen and Leo. Leo tells Jack that he can leave now but Jack says that he and Gwen have some unfinished business.

Maggie tells Alex that she thinks he will enjoy working under the new person that Victor has chosen as CEO. Alex hopes it’s not one of his brothers which Maggie confirms it’s not them or Justin. Alex asks who is left and says to please not tell him that Victor rehired Xander.

Justin tells Xander that he realized he hadn’t seen the final decree on his divorce, so he checked and the court had no record of it as one of the clerks misplaced the paperwork so it never got filed. Justin calls it the first time in all his years that this has happened. Xander asks what they do now. Justin says he printed new papers out so once they sign these, he will personally make sure the papers are filed and then their marriage will officially be over.

Sarah tells Rex that they slept together the night before Valentine’s Day, but according to the test, she’s further along than that so the timing doesn’t work. Rex guesses he just assumed and feels like an idiot but Sarah understands he got carried away. Rex then asks if that means Xander is the father which Sarah confirms.

Julie tells Jennifer that last she heard, Jack disowned Gwen for refusing to testify against Xander. Jennifer says that is true, so Julie questions why Jack is rewarding while punishing. Jennifer tells Julie that Jack didn’t have a choice because Xander and Gwen blackmailed him in to turning over the paper. Julie doesn’t see how that’s possible, but then realizes it’s about Jennifer running down Gwen with her car.

Gwen asks Jack what unfinished business they have. Jack tells Gwen that she can run the paper now however she wishes, but notes that he and Jennifer spent decades earning the trust of the public so he would hate to see that all wasted and turned in to a trashy tabloid. Leo argues that tabloids sell and nobody was reading their old newspaper. Gwen tells Jack that she will do her best to live up to the standard that Jack and Jennifer set, because she believes in it too. Jack says he’s glad to hear that and despite everything, part of him is grateful that it’s still one of his children taking over what meant so much to him. Leo argues that Jack disowned her so he doesn’t get to play daddy now while Jack states that she is still his daughter. Gwen promises to take good care of the paper. Jack then announces that he and Jennifer are both leaving town tonight.

Rex asks Sarah if she’s sure that the baby is Xander’s since they’ve been broken up for awhile. Sarah guesses they conceived a baby one of the last times they were together. Rex asks what she will do now. Sarah doesn’t know since she wasn’t expecting this. Sarah thought Xander would be out of her life forever after signing the divorce papers and this would be a fresh start. Rex tells Sarah that he might have a fresh start for her which is why he came to see her in the first place. Rex informs Sarah that there is an opening at his hospital in Chicago that he thought she would be perfect for, so the job is hers if she wants it. Rex asks if she’s interested.

Xander notes that Sarah hasn’t signed the divorce papers yet. Justin explains that she doesn’t know about it since he came to Xander first. Xander says he’ll let him know when he has signed. Justin questions him not just signing while he’s here. Xander says that Justin always taught him never to sign anything without fully reading it, so he will spend some time with it and then get back to him. Justin tells him to suit himself and then exits the room.

Alex argues that Xander being in charge before was a disaster. Alex calls Xander a loser that no one else would even hire. Maggie tells him to calm down as it’s not Xander, so Alex asks who it is. Maggie says it’s not Brady, Shawn, or Ciara, as he’s forgotten a very important member of the family. Alex asks who else there is. Maggie then reveals that it’s her. Alex laughs off the idea of Maggie being CEO. Maggie asks why she can’t be. Alex questions her experience running a business. Maggie says she’s run very successful restaurants over the years. Alex argues that’s a little different than a multi-national corporation. Maggie brings up being married to Victor for over a decade and picking up a thing or two. Maggie knows she has a lot to learn and that’s where Alex comes in, as her second in command. Maggie hopes that he is interested.

Jennifer questions Julie knowing about the accident. Julie informs her that Gwen threw it in her face last Christmas Eve during an argument. Jennifer notes that Julie never said anything to her about it. Julie knew she would come to her if she needed to. Jennifer talks about not remembering it after it happened but once she did, she offered to turn herself in but Jack wouldn’t let her. Julie points out that it’s not like she did it on purpose. Julie complains about Gwen forcing her to give up her beloved paper. Julie declares that she won’t stand for it or let her get away with it. Julie adds that she will get in her car and finish the job.

Jack informs Gwen that he and Jennifer are going back to Boston tonight, where they still have another paper to run. Gwen says she’s sorry things ended up this way. Jack responds that she made her choices and he made his, so now they have to find a way to live with them. Gwen cries that she didn’t know what else to do since he gave her an ultimatum. Jack remarks that Gwen decided her loyalty to Xander was more important than her loyalty to him. Leo interrupts and calls that unfair. Jack says maybe not and maybe Gwen made the right choice since it finally put an end to the horrible cycle of them being disappointed in each other since they can’t be disappointed in each other if they aren’t in each other’s lives. Jack loves that Gwen came in to his life and he will always love her. Jack adds that he just hopes it will be easier for them to love each other with distance between them. Jack hopes that Gwen finds the love and happiness that she always wanted. Gwen cries that she loves him too as Jack then exits the room.

Sarah tells Rex that he’s right that it sounds like the perfect job for her and the salary is more, but she doesn’t want him to get the wrong idea since she saw how excited he got when he thought they were having a baby. Rex assures that he totally understands she’s not looking for a relationship right now and he just thought it would be a perfect opportunity for her. Sarah appreciates him recommending her but says things are complicated now. Rex points out that Sarah and Xander are obviously not a couple anymore, but he assumes Xander will want to be part of the child’s life. Rex asks if that means Sarah is staying in Salem and asks how she will break the news to Xander that she’s having his baby. Xander then arrives in the room.

Alex calls Victor to confirm that he heard the news correctly that Maggie is the new CEO of Titan. Alex admits he’s a little disappointed but says he understands why Victor didn’t choose him to take over right now. Alex tells him to have a safe trip back and hangs up. Maggie hopes that maybe now the news will be easier to accept. Alex tells Maggie that he loves her and thinks she’s an amazing person, but she doesn’t have anything in common with being a titan of the industry. Maggie talks about defying peoples’ expectations for her entire life. Maggie declares that if she puts her mind to it, she can be a very successful CEO because Victor said she has great instincts. Alex questions if she has killer instincts. Maggie asks how’s this for killer instincts and tells Alex that he’s fired.

Jennifer stops Julie and tells her that she’s not going after Gwen. Julie asks why not, arguing that someone has to teach her a lesson. Jennifer tells her that it’s not worth going to prison over. Jennifer suggests they cut their losses and move on. Julie responds that this is all Jack’s fault and remarks that none of this would’ve happened if he just kept it in his pants, right as Jack comes home and comments on how he’s missed Julie.

Leo and Gwen sit together to eat in the town square. Gwen cries that she’s worried that she made a huge mistake because Jack is right that she chose Xander over him and she doesn’t even know where they stand with each other. Leo insists that Xander loves her but Gwen is uncertain. Leo encourages her to have faith that she and Xander will be together as soon as the divorce papers are final which should be any day now. Justin then approaches and says he wouldn’t count on it.

Xander tells Sarah that he needed to talk to her and a nurse told him where to find her. Xander asks if he’s interrupting something. Sarah claims that she was consulting Rex on a case. Xander asks if Sarah has a moment to chat alone because it’s kind of important. Rex says they were in the middle of something but Sarah says it’s okay and they’ll talk later. Rex says he’ll be outside if she needs him and exits the room. Sarah tells Xander that she knows things got heated between them earlier and she doesn’t feel like fighting. Xander responds that he’s not here to fight. Xander informs Sarah that Justin came to see him and said their divorce didn’t go through. Sarah argues that she filed the papers weeks ago. Xander guesses some clumsy clerk lost them so Justin printed out more. Xander asks Sarah if this is really truly what she wants. Sarah says they’ve been over this. Xander says he wasn’t thinking of revisiting it but now it seems like a sign from the universe that maybe they should give their marriage another shot. Xander asks Sarah what she thinks.

Alex questions Maggie firing him. Maggie tells him that she was just kidding and laughs about the look on his face. Maggie tells him to lighten up. Alex calls this really unexpected. Maggie knows she’s not his conventional choice and that he has doubts and he won’t be the only one. Maggie adds that this is her family too, so she is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep Titan on top. Alex acknowledges how smart she is, but questions what she is going to do when she goes up against somebody ruthless like an EJ DiMera. Maggie says they will find out. Maggie says she’s heard his concerns and hopes she has addressed them, but they need to move on because there is lots to be done and she needs to know if she has the support of her right hand man. Maggie asks if Alex is on board or not.

Jennifer asks Jack how it went with Gwen. Jack responds that he gave her the keys to the Spectator and advice on how to run it which she was surprisingly receptive to. Julie argues that Gwen must be playing some sort of angle. Jack mentions telling her that he and Jennifer are leaving town tonight. Julie wishes they would stay a little longer but Jennifer says they have to get back to Boston where they have a local paper counting on them. Julie pleads with them to visit soon which Jack assures they will do. Julie hugs Jennifer and Jack. Julie states that in Jack’s absence, she will keep an eye on Gwen and if she does anything to hurt anybody she loves, she will answer to her.

Gwen questions Justin about someone at the court losing the divorce papers. Justin confirms that Xander and Sarah will have to refile them. Leo says he’s sure this happens all the time but Justin admits that he’s never seen it happen in all his years. Leo argues that it will be an easy enough problem to fix and they will be divorced in no time. Justin says that’s assuming they don’t change their minds. Leo says he’s not helping. Gwen questions why they would change their mind. Justin says she would have to ask them but notes that Xander seemed oddly hesitant and said he wanted to read the papers over. Gwen points out that they are the same as before. Justin says that’s why he felt Xander was stalling. Justin tells them to have a lovely evening and walks away.

Sarah questions Xander believing in fate and signs from the universe. Xander says he doesn’t usually but even Justin said he’s never seen divorce papers go missing like that. Sarah asks how she doesn’t know it was just him. Xander says he was ready to try to move on but now it seems like they’ve been given a chance to rethink her decision. Xander wonders if they are supposed to stay together. Sarah tells him that he’s right that maybe the universe is sending them a message. Xander questions if she really believes that. Sarah responds that she also got one right before he walked in. Xander asks what it was. Sarah then informs him that Rex recommended her for a job at his hospital in Chicago and she decided that she’s going to take it, so it seems the universe is sending them a message and telling them that they did the right thing in going their separate ways. Xander questions Sarah leaving Salem. Sarah says she thinks it’s best for everybody involved. Sarah then asks Xander to hand her the divorce papers which he reluctantly does. Sarah signs the divorce papers and hand them back to Xander. Xander then signs them as well. Sarah says she will make sure they get filed properly before she leaves. Xander guesses this is goodbye then. Xander says they did have a good run while it lasted which she agrees with. Xander wishes her luck in Chicago and then exits the room.

Alex pours sparkling cider for Maggie. Maggie thanks him for agreeing to be her second in command. Justin comes home and asks if he’s arriving just in time to celebrate Alex’s new job as CEO. Alex informs him that he didn’t get it as Victor chose someone else to take over the position. Justin questions who. Maggie announces that she is the new CEO.

Jennifer tells Jack that she knows it can’t be easy leaving under these circumstances with the way things are with Gwen and the Spectator. Jack says all that matters is that he’s leaving with her. Jack tells Jennifer that he loves her. Jennifer says the same and they kiss. Jack says they will come back someday soon because this will always be their home. Jack and Jennifer then take their bags and exit together.

Gwen asks Leo if he thinks Justin is right that Xander is having second thoughts about divorcing Sarah. Leo spots Xander walking by and says there’s only one way to find out, so he calls Xander over. Xander asks what’s going on. Leo says they heard about what happened at the courthouse and questions why he hasn’t signed the new divorce papers. Xander reveals that he actually just did and Sarah did as well right in front of him. Leo says that’s good because he’s tired of Xander playing games with Gwen’s heart because she shouldn’t have to constantly worry that he’s going to go back to his ex. Xander assures that’s not going to happen, especially now that Sarah is leaving town with Rex Brady. Xander declares that as soon as the divorce is finalized, any connection that he and Sarah ever had will be gone for good.

Rex returns to Sarah and questions her taking the job. Rex guesses she didn’t tell Xander about the baby which she admits. Sarah calls it a complication that she does not need right now. Rex admits he’s no fan of Xander’s but asks if she’s sure about this, bringing up how Mimi tried to keep Emily a secret from him and how that turned out. Sarah acknowledges that she made a huge mess when she tried to do the same with Eric. Sarah doesn’t know what she wants to do about the baby but says this gives her an opportunity to think about it without Xander breathing down her neck. Rex says he understands. Sarah questions how it came to this since a few months ago they were married, happy, and in love, while now she’s leaving town all by herself and Xander doesn’t know that she’s pregnant with his baby.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I don’t understand that. I thought I was gonna be c e O. I mean, sunny made it sound like it was a done deal. Sunny doesn’t get to decide, but I’m the logical choice. I took over from my brother when he was recovering from being attacked, and I did a damn good job. Uncle Vic even said so, right? Well, up until an hour ago, he was all set to hand you the job, and then he received a very unsettling call from someone.

Who changed his mind? What are you talking about? Who the hell is it? Leo Stark.

Ah, Gwenny. Is this a dream come true or what? Our first issue coming out tomorrow. I am Piloxing and call me over Confident, but I believe that my Lady Whistleblower column where we come, the talk of the town, in no time you think, did I ever tell you that Lady Whistleblower was my nickname in. Although that had nothing to do with gossip or whistles.

QUni, did you hear what I said? He has something about you being a whore at University of something. Well, yeah, I was the gist of it. But I need your full attention and I could tell you’re still thinking about Xanders Twist. You’re so frustrating. You know, because what’s it. What does it mean? Him wanting to define our relationship?

Not now, but after his, his divorce is through. It means that you have to find a way to live in the moment. What if that’s just an excuse? What if his heart will always belong to Sarah? I guarantee you he will come to his senses any minute. Now he’s gonna come walking through that door to declare his luck for you.

That is probably your hot daddy right now.

Hell wrong, daddy.

I don’t understand. How could there be a problem with the divorce? I signed those papers weeks ago, as did Sarah. Exactly. Shouldn’t it have processed by now? Yes, but things didn’t go exactly as planned. Now there’s an issue. Are you telling me that you and Sarah are still very much husband and wife?

You’re you’re pregnant? Yeah. I, um, I wasn’t feeling well, so I had some blood work done and the results just came back in and yeah, I. Um, with child, oh my God. Uh, this, this is amazing. We’re, we’re ha we’re having a baby. We’re having a baby.

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

Leo Stark is a worthless, conniving, little troll. No arguments here. I mean, why would Uncle Victor ever listen to a word he says, let alone anybody what is it? Because he got a new little media platform, his sleazy gossip column for the Spectator. You guessed it. He called your uncle to comment on a story that he’s running about you tomorrow.

He regaled your uncle with this lurid tale about you having a threesome with two bisexual women. So what we’re all consenting adults. Leo is also alleging that, um, your affair with Allie Horton destroyed her relationship with Chanel Dupree. It wasn’t an affair, it was a drunken one night mistake. No. Is that supposed to make you seem more stable?

Is this serious right now? Who cares about my sex? I could have sex with half of Salem, it would have no bearing on my ability to be a successful c e O. It’s the optics of it. Optics, yes. In this climate, one might read your actions as misogynistic. Oh my. Come on. Nobody loves women more than I do. Okay. It’s your personal life as a liability.

Alex and your uncle is not willing to take that risk. This is wrong. I’m sorry.

Sure. Well then who is it? You said he picked another Kariya soul. Which one is it? How could Sarah and I still be married, aren’t you? Wait, who? Sarah changed her mind. Is she having second thoughts about ending our marriage? As far as I know, Sarah’s been steadfast in her decision to dump you, but then. Why is there a hold up in the divorce?

Me, Sarah and I both did what we needed to do. Why are we still married? . Oh my god. I mean this, my God, a baby. I mean, they, heck, you know that the timing, this couldn’t be anymore Perfect. I, I was just having a conversation with Emily about this last night and she, she kept going on and on about how she wanted a little brother, a little sister, and, you know, I didn’t wanna get her hopes up, at least not, you know, in the near future anyway.

And,

You know, I’m happy.

I mean, is it, is it because you don’t want to be committed to me, and this could change things for us, right? I mean, us having a baby together, we’re not,

we’re not having a baby. Um, I am pregnant, but not with your child. It’s not yours.

Oh, Julie, when did you get back on your cruise? . Oh, just now. Aww. Uh, Doug’s upstairs unpacking and, uh, aloha. Hello? Ha . I thought I would just peruse the spectator and see what I had missed while we were away. You missed quite a bit, so it seems, imagine my surprise when I saw your husband’s farewell article.

You have handed the newspaper over to Zander and Gwen. We did come see. Well then. I guess my next question has to be, have you lost your mind? Keys to the spectator main door editor’s desk printing room. Finally, we have to prep our entire first issue from home. Dear, what, normally, I don’t mind working remotely in my PJ’s, but as you can tell, things will cramped in these parts.

I see. I assume there is room for me to have my own office complete with an ergonomic chair and my own cappuccino. You can’t possibly think I care about anything you just said. I’m just trying to make polite conversation. You’ve handed over the keys. You can leave anytime you like. I leave that, but I speak to Gwen, my daughter and I have some unfinished business.

I think you’re gonna enjoy working under the new person that your Uncle Vic has chosen to be. C e o. Please do not tell me it’s Joseph or. I love my brothers to death, but that was pretty much a multi-car pile up in Arizona. I can’t stomach reporting to either of them. It’s not the twins, is it my dad? No.

And much to your uncle And my dismay. Justin’s desire to run the company fizzled out years ago. He apparently likes being a lawyer. Uh, go figure. Yeah, I, I, I don’t, I don’t understand. I don’t get it. Uh, who’s left? . Oh my God. Please do not tell me that Uncle Victor rehired. Xander. I realized this morning that I hadn’t received the final decree on your divorce from the court, so I checked in and lo and behold, the courts had no record of it.

What. How is that possible? Well, apparently one of the clerks misplaced the paperwork and it never got filed. It’s the first time in all my years that I remember this happening. So what do we do now? Well, I printed the papers once again, and so if you and Sarah just sign these, I will personally make sure that the paperwork is properly process.

And then, and then my marriage will officially be over.

So the, the baby is, the baby’s not mine.

You and I slept together the night before Valentine’s Day, and according to the tests I am. Further along than that. So the timing doesn’t work.

I guess I just, I just assumed that I’m idiot. Just rattling on and on, like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You are not an idiot. You got carried away. Yeah, . That’s because I did.

If I’m not the father, does that mean

it does

Xander’s the father, I’m pregnant with his baby.

The last I heard. Jack had disowned Gwen because she refused to testify against Xander. Well, yes, that’s true. And, but he did end his friendship with Xander. Okay. Okay. Is handing him off the spectator supposed to be a farewell gift. I mean, what? Well, why, why is he rewarding with Unhand and punishing with the other?

You don’t understand. He, he didn’t have a choice. What do you. I, I mean that Xandra and Gwen blackmailed him into turning over the paper. I don’t see how that’s possible.

Oh my God. This is about you running down Gwen, with your car, isn’t it?

So what is. Unfinished business that you speak of, we have between us. Then you can run the paper now any way you wish. You are the freedom. Just like I did. Just know that Jennifer and I spent decades building trust for the public. I would hate to see that all wasted by turning the paper into a cheap tabloid.

Oh please, everybody knows tabloid cell. Nobody was reading your stuffy old newspaper. Oops.

I will do my best to live up to the standard that you and Jennifer said, and not because you just asked me, but because I believe in it too. I’m glad to hear that, and despite everything, there is a part of me that is grateful. Still my children is looking after something that has meant so much to me. You disowned her, Jack.

You don’t get to play daddy now. She is still my daughter,

I promise. I will take good care of the paper.

Ah, very well. I suppose we should let you know,

Jennifer and I are both leaving town tonight

and you’re sure that the baby is, and. So many men, do you think I’ve suffered with ? I didn’t. I didn’t mean it like that. I, I guess I’m just surprised you how long as the two of you have been broken up for a while. Yeah. Apparently one of the last times we were together, we conceived a baby. He’s probably celebrating his fake job at the redneck corporation’s.

What do know.

I, I don’t know. I mean, obviously I wasn’t expecting this when I signed those divorce papers. I thought that Xander would be out of my life forever, and this was supposed to be a fresh start. Well, um, if it’s a fresh start, you’re looking for. I think I might have one for you. What are you talking about?

It’s actually the reason I came to see you in the first place. There is a job opening at my hospital in Chicago. I thought you’d be perfect for it. So I talked to you after the chief of staff. You did? Mm-hmm. . And the job is yours. If you want it, you’re.

Sarah hasn’t signed yet. No, she doesn’t know about the paperwork issue. I came to you first. Okay. I’ll, um, I’ll let you know once I signed. Why don’t you just sign them right now while I’m here? Oh, I, I just wanted to look them over. You always taught me never sign anything unless I fully vetted it first.

So, uh, yeah, I’ll spend some time with these and get back to you. Bye. Sit yourself.

Look, I know Xander used to be in charge, but that was a disaster, was it not? I mean, the guy is a loser. I you, nobody else will even hire him. The last company he worked for, he like made up himself. Do you wanna talk about optics? Calm down. It’s not z. But who is it? Um, Brady, Sean, Sierra. It’s not any of those people you would’ve forgotten.

A very important member of this family. Who else is there? Me.

You gonna be CEO, won? Come on, be. Oh no. And why can’t I be? What experience do you have running a business? Well, I have owned several very successful restaurants over the years. Tuscany, she rouge. Yeah. Running a restaurant is a little bit different than running a multinational corporation. I understand that.

But I’ve also been married to your uncle for over a decade. and you don’t think I picked up a thing or two. Now I know I have a lot to learn, but that’s where you come in. Me. Mm-hmm. , I’m hoping you’re gonna be my number two in command to bring me up to speed to offer counsel whenever needed. I hope you are interested.

You knew about the accident. She threw it in my face last Christmas Eve. We were having an argument about her figgy pudding and she said, I should be respecting her because she’s the person who kept you out of prison. She told you all that on Christmas Eve? Oh, I didn’t believe it at first. Of course. Then I remember that you had been taking pills and driving.

It just fell into place. You never said anything to me, darling. I knew you would come to me if you needed to. Oh, sweetheart. It must have been just terrible for you. I didn’t remember it after it happened, but when I did, the guilt was over. I offered to turn myself in, Jack. He wouldn’t hear of it. Well, it, it’s not as though you did it on purpose, did you?

No. No, of course not. So Glenn is just patting herself on the back for not blackmailing you. Then she turns around and forces you to give. Beloved paper. Well, I guess it was just a matter of time. Hmm.

I won’t stand for it. She’s not getting away with it. Where, where are you? Where are you going? Oh, I’m gonna find Gwen, get in my car and finish the job.

You and Jennifer, you are headed back to Boston tonight. We still have another paper to run.

Yeah, of course. Well, in that case, I’m sorry that things ended up this way. So am I. You made your choices and I made mine, and now we have to find a way to live with them. I dunno what else to do. You gave me an ultimatum. And you decided that your loyalty to Zander was more important than your loyalty to me.

Hang on now. That is not fair. Maybe not. And maybe Gwen did make the right choice the very least. It finally put an end to the horrible cycle of me being disappointed in her and her being disappointed in.

We can’t be disappointed in each other if we’re nodding each other’s lives. Right. Right.

I just, I want you to know, I love that you came into my life. I. I love you. I always will love you. I just hope it’ll be easier for us to love each other with a little distance between us.

I hope so too, and I hope that you find the love that you,

the happiness that you always wanted, I said, certainly mean that.

I love you too.

No, you’re. It sounds like the perfect job for me. Right. And the salary is more than what I’m making here. Mm-hmm. . So is that a yes? I just, I don’t want you to get the wrong idea What? That You’ll move back to Chicago and we’ll suddenly become a couple again. I saw how excited you got when you thought we were having a baby.

Look, I get it. You’re not looking for a relationship right. . Totally understand. I just put in this good word for you cuz I thought it would be a great opportunity. Well, I believe you and I, I do appreciate you recommending me. It’s just, wow, things are complicated now. Right. So you and Xander are obviously not a couple anymore, but I’m assuming that he’s gonna want to be a part of his child’s life.

So does that mean. Staying here in sound. I mean, how you gonna break the news to him that you’re having his baby?

Hello, sir.

Yeah. Well, auntie Maggie suggested that I call you Uncle Vic to confirm with you that I heard this news correctly. Yeah, right. Well, obviously I’m a little disappointed, but, okay. Okay. Alright. Yeah, you don’t need to raise your voice. I hear you fine. Yes, I understand why you didn’t choose me to take over right.

Now. I get it. Okay. Yes, I will. Yes, I will. Yeah, I will give Maggie your love. I will Uncle Vic have a safe trip back. All right. Okay. Take care. He sends his love. So I gathered. Well, now that you’ve heard the news from your uncle, I was, I’m hoping that it’ll be a little easier to accept or maybe not.

Auntie Mag, I love you and I think you are an amazing person. What.

Nevermind. No, go ahead. Say what you want me to say. No, it’s just that you hunt Maggie. You bake lemon bars, you collect porcelain figurines, you volunteer at hospitals, and a, all of those things are very important and special, but none of which have anything in common with being a titan of industry. Alex May not have occurred to you, but I have defined people’s expectations my entire life.

Do you know where I spent my childhood? No. I grew up on a small farm in Brookville, and when my parents passed away, I was pretty young. Everyone said I should sell the farm, but I, I refused because it was our family’s legacy. I had no idea what I was gonna do at first when I stuck. And it turned out to be a success, so that’s why I believe, no, actually I know that if I put my mind to it, I can be a very successful c e o.

Richard said I, I have great instincts.

Do you have killer instincts? Well, how is this for killer instincts? You’re fired.

Yes. You are not going after Gwen. Why not? Somebody has to teach her a lesson. It’s not worth going to prison over. Look, Julie, I love that you wanna help us and I hate that we have to give Gwen the paper, but. Jack and I have decided to cut our losses and move on.

You know, this is all Jack’s fault. None of this would’ve happened if he just kept it in his pants. Oh, Julie, how I’ve missed you.

Something wonky with your food. Ooh, if we find a hair in here, we can get the home meal for free.

I’m worried. I’ve made a huge mistake. I told you to go with the fish. No, I’m, I’m talking about this whole situation there. What I father said he was right. I chose Zander over him and, and for. I mean, I, I don’t even know where we stand with each other. Hey, like I said earlier, that big lug loves you. I’m certain of it that makes one of us, Sonny have faith.

You and Sandy will be together as soon as those divorce papers come through. It should be any day now. I wouldn’t count.

What are you doing here? Well, I needed to talk to you about something and I know his named Amko said that you’re in this room. I see. Am I interrupting something? I, I was consulting Rex on a case. Don’t you have a moment to chat alone? It’s uh, it’s quite important. Yeah. We’re kind of in the middle of something right now, so it’s okay.

Rex. We’ll talk later. You sure? Yeah.

I’ll, um, I’ll be outside if you need me.

Listen, I, I know that things got heated between us earlier and I, I just try, I don’t feel like fighting. I don’t wanna fight. That’s not why I’m here. Why are you here? Justin came to see me after you left, said our divorce didn’t go through. No, I filed the papers weeks ago. Oh no. Yeah, I guess some clumsy clerk lost them.

Fair? Not Justin printed out more. Oh, okay. Before we sign them out. I wanted to ask you something. What is it? Is this really truly what you want? We’ve been over this. Oh, I know. I know. I don’t, I wasn’t thinking of revisiting it either, but I mean now it just feels like, I don’t know, maybe a little sign from the universe that maybe we should give our manager another.

What’d you think?

You’re firing me af after all that, what? What happened to me? Teaching you more about the business? What happened? Relax, Alex. I was kidding. . You were kidding. It was a joke. and a pretty good one too. You should have seen the look on your face. It was priceless. . Haha. Ah. Oh. Lighten up. Will you? Mm mm . Oh, this is just, this is just really unexpected.

Yeah, I know. Mm. I realized that, but it’s okay. Mm. I know. I’m not your conventional. You have doubts and you won’t be the only one, but, but this is my family too, and I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to keep Titan on top. Yeah. Yeah. And auntie, I know how smart you are. You are. You’re a smart woman, truly.

But what are you gonna do when you gotta go up against something or somebody? Ruthless. Like a, like an EJ damara. Well, we’ll find out, won’t we? Alex? Listen, I’ve heard your concerns. I hope I’ve addressed them to your satisfaction, but we really do need to move on. There’s lots to be done and I need to know that I have the support of my right hand man.

So, are you on board or not?

So how’d it go with Gwen? I, I gave her the keys to the spectator and advice on how to run it. I’m sure that went over well, actually, she was surprisingly receptive. Oh, Jack. She’s playing some sort of an. I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not. She was experiencing some sentiment. I told her that, that Jennifer and I are leaving town tonight.

So soon. I hope you’d stay a little longer. No, we wish that we could, but we have to get back to Boston. There’s a little local paper that is counting on us to help ’em out, but you will be visiting. Soon, please. Of course. Of course he will

Tell Jack in your absence. I will keep my eye on that. Daughter of yours, I expect nothing less. Mm. If she does anything to hurt anybody, I love, she’ll answer to me. Jack. So you are telling me that some twit at the courthouse lost Xander’s divorce papers. Mm-hmm. , he and Sarah will have to refile them. No biggie.

I’m sure this happens all the time. Honestly, I have never seen this happen in all my years, but still I’m sure ts you enough problem to fix. Zandy and Sarah will be divorced in no time. Assuming they don’t change their minds. Okay, counselor, you’re really not helping here. Why wouldn’t they change their.

You’ll have to ask them, but when I stopped by to have Xander sign the new papers, he seemed a little hesitant. Hesitant. You said he wanted to read them over before he’s signing them, but aren’t they? He’s happy. The same as before. They are, which is why I had the distinct feeling he was stalling. Anyway, nice catching up.

Have a lovely evening.

Since when did you start believing in fate and signs from the universe? Oh, I don’t generally, mate. Even Justin said he’s never seen divorce papers go missing like that before. How do I know it wasn’t you? Sarah, this isn’t a scam, but believe me, I was. I was ready to try and move on, but, and now it just feels like we’re given an opportunity to rethink our decision.

My decision. Yes. Well, maybe for some reason that’s bigger than both of us. We’re, they were supposed to stay together. You Right.

Maybe the universe is sending us a message. Do you really believe that?

You could say that? I, I got one right before you walked in. Really? What was it?

Rex recommended me for a job at his hospital in Chicago.

I decided I’m gonna take it.

It’s off in Chicago, so it, it seems that the universe is sending. Us a message and telling us that we did the right thing. It’s going our separate ways.

You actually leaving Salem?

Yeah, I just, I think it’s um, s for everybody involved.

Just hand me those.

I will, uh, I will, I’ll make sure that these get filed properly before I leave.

Glass post is goodbye.

Okay. I guess so.

Sarah, we,

we did have a good runway that lasted, didn’t we?

Yeah, we did.

Good luck in Chicago.

And one sparkling cider for our new c e o. Thank you, Alex. Thank you for agreeing to be my second in command.

Oh, am I arriving just in time to celebrate my son’s new job as c e o. Actually, dad, I didn’t get it. What? Uncle Victor chose somebody. Take over the new position. Who?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Nine 50. Alright, I’m coming. Get your pants on.

Well, by all means, come in. How could you do this? Perhaps you give you more specific. Don’t play dumb with me. You knew exactly what you did and I am not going to let you get away with this time.

Funk could be a bit bigger. Here she is hot off the press. And by press I mean the printer downstairs. Can you say ancient? It took forever to print one page, but she is so worth doing. What’s this? The first lady? Come again. The premier edition of Lady Whistleblower’s Gossip column. You realize you could have just emailed me.

I could have yes, but I wanted to see the look on your face while you take in my literary prowess. Read it and gag. One highly placed source tells Lady w Sunny Kakkis contracted scabies following a raging gay Ory attended by his own father

again. And how was Henry on the flight? Hello, trooper. Hey, um, uh, Chad just got here, will, so I’m gonna call you back. I’ll see you tomorrow. I love you. Bye. Hey. Oh, I got your text. What’s up? Yeah, uh, I have some news. Ooh, that’s good news, I hope. Yes, definitely. Uh, will and I were not. Gonna be doing the long distance thing anymore.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, congrats. I know, uh, I know how hard that was for you guys. So what is will gonna be, uh, here working remotely then? Uh, no, he’s, he’s still gonna be traveling and, um, I’m gonna be traveling until kind of, Extended trip. Well, what does that mean, Chad? I’m leaving Salem.

Jackson. Kikis, c e o.

Not anymore.

I am gonna miss you, bro, but I could get used to this.

Someone’s getting comfortable. Stephanie. Hey, I didn’t see you come in too busy trying out the Iron Throne. You could say that. Yeah. Grace . So it’s true. son. He resigned from Titan. Yeah, he’s moving to New Zealand with Will and Allie and Henry. Wow. So I guess things are gonna be different around here for sure.

And for starters, you’re gonna be stuck with me.

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

That was fast. Sunny hasn’t even left town yet. And your uncle already named you c e o? Well, it hasn’t been announced officially yet, but I’m the obvious choice. Why is that? Well, for starters, the whole reason why I came back to town was to help out Titan specifically to help out Sunny boy. How so? Look, I love my brother, but he isn’t exactly a killer.

That’s where I come in. There were times where I just had to give him a little extra support. So he benefited from your expertise? Exactly. And then when I covered for him after he was attacked by Clyde West, and that’s when I really got to show my stuff. You know the Kiki Drive, the Thes business acumen, though.

The Kriyas ego. Careful. Ms. Johnson, you are talking to your new boss. I am my own boss, Alex will. You’d be smart to remember that

Titan cuts you some pretty large checks. You’d be smart to remember that. Checks Sunny’s been signing. Sunny’s gone. You just said Victor hasn’t decided who’s taking over for him yet. I said it hasn’t been announced officially. Okay, so if you’re name’s CEO e o, then yes, you’ll be in charge of one of my clients signing some of my, when I’m named C e o, I’ll be in charge of your biggest client.

Cutting you your biggest checks. Alex, I’m not denying that Titan is great business for SJ p r. Well, good. Now, will that still be the same when Uncle Vic announces that I’ll be taking over for Sonny? What do you mean? I mean, are you gonna be. Working as closely with me as he did with my brother.

Well, what do you think? Oh God. It just keeps getting worse. I know, right. Wait, what are you doing? I wanted to save that for posterity. I can’t print this. What? Why? Because it’s not true. The truth is, so 2015, I’m sorry, Mattie Guinevere, the spectator is a snooze. It needs life energy buzz. I was giving that to you.

Item by juicy item. Guess in each one of those items is a liable suit waiting to happen. Oh, Jackson is not going to sue. Right? Cuz the Kes don’t have their own army of lawyers or. I am not loving this new professional you. She’s less three sheets to the wind, more wet blanket. Look darling, I know that son hurt you, but you cannot use your poem through exact revenge.

But I worked so hard on that. Do you know how long it took me to come up with scabies? I applaud your creativity. I do. But this is a n. And we have standards to uphold standards that were set by my father and my late sister. I am very determined to prove I am every bit as good of an editor as same one.

Geez, I had no idea you were so serious about. Maintaining these lofty journalistic principles. See anything about principles you did Gwyneth Pulitzer. Ah, now don’t you misunderstand me. I am fine with you going after every pious Salem that you want, but you have to write the truth, not something that’s made up.

Great. So what do I do now? You go out there and you get me some dirt. I can actually run. Go on chop. We’ve got a deadline. Thank you. Bar.

Look, if this is gonna be another lecture about me kidnapping, Bonnie and Susan are sleeping with Gwen. You can just, I ain’t come here to talk to you about that. Then why are you, Sarah made it very clear that we have nothing to discuss ever. There wasn’t. That’s how I heard about your latest stunt. So I heard on this time to deserve your righteous indignation.

You stole the spectator from Jack and Jennifer. You son of a bitch,

Maggie. Hi, uh, Henderson. Let me in. Sarah here. Um, I’m afraid not. Oh, well I need to, um, I need to speak with her. It’s kind of important. What a coincidence, because there is something very important that I’d like to discuss with you. Yeah, yeah, sure. What is it? Well, for starters, how about the fact that you’re sleeping with my daughter?

You’re moving to New Zealand? Yeah. You know that Will’s new project is out there and he’s, he’s really excited about it and I just, I want to be there to support him. What about Ari? Just come with us. I mean, Gabby wasn’t thrilled about the idea, but. She realized Ari wanted to come with us, so she’s gonna visit us there and, and we’ll come visit here and, and Allie’s gonna come with us too.

Her and Chanel just broke up, you know, she has a lot of changes going on and Henry’s so young. I know this is a lot. I’m just dropping on your lap at once. Jenna, I’m, I’m, I’m really sorry. Don’t. Don’t be. I think this is gonna be really good for everyone, especially for you. And Will, I’m happy for you, for all of you.

Thank you. When you leave, I am, uh, I’m going straight to the airport from here. What? That soon? Yeah. No, I, I mean, I, I would’ve left with everyone else, but I had some, uh, loose ends. Tie up the titan. How did Victor take exactly how you would, uh, you’d think he would like trash will and then screamed a bunch of curse words.

Pretty much. Yeah, pretty much. But you know what? He’ll get over it. And it’s not like I’m leaving in the lurch. You know, Alex has been dying to be c e o of Titan ever since Uganda into.

Okay with Alex step for you. I guess that means, uh, Stephanie’s gonna be reporting directly to him.

We’re both adults. Alex, I don’t foresee any problem with us working together, especially since we’re no longer romantically involved, but if you do. No, of course not. I mean, we both want the same thing, right? For Titan to thrive. Absolutely. So as long as we keep that in mind, stay focused, mutually respectful, mindful of each other’s.

Boundaries and we should get along just fine.

Wish I got it? Sure, why not?

I take it. Sarah told you about what happened between us. No, Henderson did. He saw you leaving Sarah’s bedroom the other day? , yeah. Ah, okay. Henderson. Yeah. Should have known that he would spread the word Rex. Sarah’s going through a divorce. She’s very vulnerable. Good. And, and I, I would never take advantage of that, Maggie.

I promise you. I have no intention of ever hurting Sarah again. Well then what exactly are your intentions for my daughter?

Didn’t realize you had such strong opinions about the fourth estate. I have very strong opinions about you stealing from my family. I’m not sure what you mean. I’ve read Jack’s farewell editorial. It says that he and Jennifer are giving you and Gwen the paper with her as editor-in-chief. Is that a problem?

Yeah, there’s a huge problem because there is no. that they would ever do that by choice. Why not? They was planned on giving the paper to one of their. Navil. God rest her soul’s no longer with us. JJ J’s not interested. So Gwen is the obvious choice. She hears Jack’s daughter too. You know Gwen is nothing but an evil bitch who has only ever brought misery to me and my family.

Right? Think about all of the lies. She’s turned upside down. Now all you Hortons were perfect saints until Gwen Rusche came long. Huh? I just save it. I called Jennifer. I told her that I didn’t believe any of this time for change nonsense, and I wanted to know the real reason that she gave up the. And what did you or do your cousin have to say?

She said she couldn’t get into it, but I had the very distinct impression that it was a decision made under duress. So is this how your twisted little partnership with Gwen works? She covers for you when you commit felonies and you help her find new ways to hurt Jack? Jack made a choice. Oh my God, do you really expect me to believe that this is what he.

That he chose of his own free will to hand over the reins to one of the most revived women in Salem who has exactly zero journalism experience. Explain this, your explanation is bull. What did you do, Xander? How did you force my cousins to hand over the paper that they put their blood, sweat, and tears into for 30 years?

Sarah? No. Answer me now. Fine. I’ll tell you, I blackmailed Jack and Jennifer into signing over the Spectator, and it’s all your bloody fault,

Chad. I’m telling you, there’s nothing to worry about. Okay. Alex and Stephanie are over. Yeah, I know. I know. Well then why do you seem so disappointed that the two of them are gonna be working so closely together? I wouldn’t say disappointed. I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t use disappointment. Okay. , well then what is it?

It’s just that, you know, Stephanie forgave him Right. For, for turning off her phone the night kill died. So, you know, they’re on decent terms now. Okay, great. And that’s, that’s so great of Stephanie to do that. She was big. To forgive Alex, but I’m telling you, they’re not getting back together. I mean, from what you’ve told me, you’re the one that Stephanie wants to be with.

Yeah. No, that’s true. And then what are you feeling insecure about?

It’s just, I really like her. My kids really like her. That’s shocking to hear, son. I never thought I’d feel this way again.

Stephanie showed me that it, that, that it was possible that you could start over after such a horrifying loss, moss.

And, um, and I don’t know, maybe it’s because the horrifying loss that I’m just, I’m, I’m a little bit desperate. To, to not lose her. That makes sense. I mean, you went through a terrible traumatic loss. Yeah.

On a lighter note though, I am, uh, I’m very grateful that she is in my. And in my kids’ lives, I’m a lucky man.

Greetings party people. How the hell did you get in here Stark? Um, the door was open. Oh, that’s unfortunate. If you’re looking for sunny, I’m not. You’re the riyas. I’m after. Excuse me. How spare me the macho posturing for your girlfriend. I know you’re hopelessly hetero. I’m not his girlfriend. We work together.

Oh, you hold hands with all of your colleagues. Honey, who? I’m here in my official capacity as Lady Whistleblower. Lady Who? Whistleblower. It’s my Nam de plume. Oh. Are you a writer or No, not just any writer Sweet cheeks. You are looking at the new gossip columnist for the Spectator. Great. And what does Lady Whistle whatever have to do with me blower.

And I thought you’d never ask. So tell me, is it true that you had your paid pack abs broke up, Salem’s favorite bisexual bakers?

How is it my fault that you are blackmailing Jack and Jennifer? Because I wasn’t gonna do it. I all change your heart and then I saw you without Cretin Rex Brady, and you just couldn’t help it. rub. The fact that he had sex with him all in my face. Oh, just like you did, was sleeping with Gwen. Oh, I didn’t.

And that was different. How? Because No, stop. I do not care about your convoluted Neanderthal logic. I just wanna know how you and Gwen forced Jack and Jennifer to give up the spectator. No information is on a need to know that. I, I hope to know now. No can, I’m afraid.

Jack is your best friend. He’s Gwen’s father. How, how could you two do that to him? He makes me sick.

So

Maggie, I assure you what happened between Sarah and me. It was a one time. . In fact, she was very clear about not wanting to jump into a relationship with anybody right now. All right. We’re just friends. Okay. And you can accept that? Of course I can. I see. Well, so if you didn’t come back here to pick up where you left off with my daughter, why do you need to see her so urgently?

I’m heading back to Chicago, and then you came to say, No, I want Sarah to come with me.

So you and Sarah aren’t getting back together, but you want her to move away with you? Well, I mean, not. With me, but yes to the same city . Look, I want Sarah to work at my hospital. We have state-of-the-art equipment and facilities and technology, and we have access to the latest medical research and to attract the best doctors.

We pay well, very well, and I think it would be a great opportunity. . I see. Well, that’s very kind of you to extend yourself this way. I’m, I’m extending myself from my hospital. I think she would be a tremendous asset to our surgical staff, and I think it’d be really good for her given everything she’s been through.

You look skeptical. Hmm. Well, I just. I hate to think of her leaving. Mm-hmm. again, but my daughter, she’s a grown woman. She makes her own decisions, and I just pray that she tunes out the noise and listens to her gut.

Sarah, I are you all right in there?

I’m. It must have been something I ate. Can I get you some water or some ginger or something? Oh, I said I’m fine. I just wanna know what you’re holding over. Jack and Jennifer, Sarah, I sincerely doubt that they would want me to share that information with you or anyone else.

I cannot believe that. I actually thought you changed.

I’m fool. You are just the same low-life thugs you’ve always been. I am so glad that I signed those divorce papers so that I don’t have to sit here and listen to my husband rattle off another round of excuses about why he committed yet another crime against the people I. Sarah, can you just No,

I’m done.

Goodbye.

I hope you and going enjoy your stolen paper.

I am gonna miss this. Hang with my best friend, having a beer. Gonna miss it too. Hey, hey. Hello boys. So what are we drinking? Don’t worry, I already ordered you one. That’s my son. Always thinking about everyone else except this, uh, whole leaving Salem and moving halfway across the world thing that is incredibly selfish.

Selfish as hell. Okay, come on guys. It’s not that far. Okay. Yes, it’s, it’s, it’s pretty far, but you know, now, come on. You can come visit me anytime. Well, Bonnie and I will definitely do that. In fact, she just told me that she wants to. Kick it with the Kiwis. Ooh, I’m down for that. . Yeah, I was, I was just telling Chad how bad I feel.

Just dumping this on everyone out of the ball. I got some. And as much as I will miss seeing you every day, I’m thrilled that you and Will are going to be reunited. Yeah, me too. It’s, um, it’s been pretty rough being a part. Mm-hmm. for a minute there. I. Thought that Snake Leo Stark would get his fangs into you again, but we don’t have to worry about him anymore.

Leo is someone else’s problem.

It’s a simple question. Did you or did you not bust up Shalley? Yeah, I don’t know where you’re getting your information, but you’re way off base. sucking lemons and other things with one Alice Caroline Horton at a local bar before stumbling back to her place for night of raunchy sex. You and Allie, it’s not how he’s making it sound.

Are you telling me that Allie’s former live-in lover Chanel Dpri didn’t show up unexpectedly at the SAF sanctuary? They one shared to find the two of you in the throws of passion. Chanel caught you. She showed up the next. Sounds like confirmation to me. That’s not confirmation. Leo. I didn’t confirm anything.

No comment. Too late. So tell me how awkward was it for Chanel when she found the two of you together? Maybe not at all, considering that you’d already had a threesome with her and Ellie. A threesome. That’s it.

You want to comment? Leo, here’s one. Take your whistle and shove it up. Your blower.

Ugh. Look what you did. You’re lucky I didn’t do it to your face. You’re lucky I have a memory, like a steel trap among many other fine attributes. Leo, get the hell outta here before I actually lose it, okay? Okay. But be sure to pick up a copy of Tomorrow’s Spectator. I hear it’s going to be a must read.

About what he just said. Um, you do not have to explain. Your personal life is none of my business. Yeah, but the way he just made that whole thing sound, Steph, he made it sound a lot more salacious than what it actually was. Alex, really say no more. You, Allie and Chanel are all consenting adults. What you do with them has nothing to do with me.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have more work to do before calling in.

How’s it going, partner? It’s uh, it’s going. Um, I just thought I’d stop by, see if you have any last minute concerns about the paper. I mean, can you believe it? We’re actually gonna put our first issue of the spectator out. We did it, Sandra. We’re, we’re actually running a newspaper.

We don’t seem very excited. Is, um, is everything all right? Sarah just left. Oh, did she have to scold you about this time then blackmailing the paper away from Jack and Jennifer? How did you find out? No, no. She just, she just didn’t believe that her cousins would willingly give us the paper. So she asked Jennifer why they really did it.

Jennifer told her, no, no, no. Thank God she kept a trap shut. She was smart enough to do that, but Sarah came here to get it out of me. You didn’t, she’s relentless when I said No, no, no. I, I didn’t tell her. I just told her that we blackmailed them. I didn’t say with what?

Well, I will bet that Little Miss Perfect won’t be some bloody sanctimonious if she found out that her cousin was the one who move me over when she was high on painkillers.

Sorry, I shouldn’t speak Sarah. Love Sarah. Especially when it’s obvious for the look on your face that you were still in love with her.

Dr. Horton, are you okay? You look a little green around the gills. Yeah, I’m fine. Um, it’s just a touch of food poisoning I think. Are you sure that’s all it?

I guess we’ll have to figure out the time difference with New Zealand so we know when to call you. I’ve already committed it to memory. Okay, so New Zealand is 17 hours ahead, which means if it is 9:00 AM here, It is 4:00 AM there. So then don’t call at 9:00 AM No, do never call . Hey big bro over here.

There he is

not. This is family only. Come on. Okay. Chad is family. So can we just play nice please? Yeah, sure. No problem, Alex. Tough day. No, papa. It’s all good. So New Zealand, huh? It’s a pretty radical move. Yeah. You should come visit. That is, I mean, if you have any time off being the CEO of Titan, it’s a stressful job and big bro.

I think you’re gonna kill him. You think so? Yeah. You were born to be a ceo E o. It’s true of all my sons. You are the most like Victor . He wishes, okay, Chad, what did I say? Play nice. I mean, the old man couldn’t have made a better choice. Thanks that.

I’m gonna miss you. You big dummy . I’m gonna miss you too. You big dummy. I’m be a stranger, okay? Okay. I love you. I love you too.

All right dad. See you later, Chad. See you guys.

Hey Steph. If you’re looking for Chad, he’s right over there. Hey, he made it. Yeah. I wasn’t gonna miss saying goodbye to my favorite cousin. Okay. I hate to cut this short, but I have to take care of something for a client. Of course.

Oh, I love you. I love you too. Hey, hey, look, we’re on Easter. If you and Bonnie want to come up and uh, no, kick it with the Kiwis, we will definitely see you down under. Take care, Chad. Stephanie. Take care. Yeah, see,

so I finally moved back to Kelo and now you’re leaving. Yeah. Seriously, we need to, uh, Work on our timing and you need to promise you’ll be back. Just try and stop it. I’m sure that, uh, whatever it is, is gonna pass in a minute. I don’t know. There are a ton of bugs going around. Let me go. I I’m a doctor. I know the difference between a bug and nothing and this, this is nothing.

Maybe we should let the LA run a few tests just to be safe. Yeah, I guess it, it probably couldn’t hurt.

You are, aren’t you? You are, um, still luck with Sarah. It’s complicated and confusing

and it’s just that the other night when.

We were together, you seemed to indicate that you’d prefer to be with somebody like me. You actually said we’d belong together,

but then the next morning you woke up having dreamt to Sarah, and I realized that whether your marriage may be over, it may not still be over. I said I wasn’t, I told you that I dunno if or when ever will be I, right? And then we were gonna go talk and have breakfast and figure this out, which I just assume meant figure us out.

But then we bumped into Sarah in the squares, you remember? And we didn’t get to have that conversation. So, I guess I’m just a bit unclear as to where we stand. I mean, everything that I said, I, I really do care about you a great deal. I just can’t believe everything that you sacrificed for me, and I’m so grateful for it.

I just, I am still coming to terms with the very recent end of my marriage and just don’t have any answers for you.

Of course. Yeah, I completely understand. I mean, maybe once the divorce is finalized, I can start thinking about what I want for the future, but right now I’m just not ready.

Yeah, I know. That makes absolute total sense. Yeah, I understand.

So look, until then, I think that, um, I think we ought to keep things strictly professional between us and after all, we are running a newspaper together, aren’t we? Sounds like a plan.

Right? Well, I, I best be off. I’ve got a million things that have to do before I put the spectator to bed, so. All right. Thank you. Um, so, um, do you have any, um, last minute thoughts or, I dunno, concerns about the layout on headline? Oh yeah. I mean, not that I can think of. No. Something comes up just let me know.

But otherwise I’m, I’ll see you tomorrow. Partner? Yes, tomorrow.

I owe you a huge thank you son for taking a chance on SJ p r for giving me such a huge opportunity in Titan. Are you, are you kidding me? I owe Pauline a price for bringing you to doubt. And when you come back, which we’ve established that you will, I will be saving you a seat at the bar.

I hate to interrupt, but uh, you have a plane to catch. You missed that flight then. Then my husband will kill all of us. Yeah.

Okay, we,

Hey. Ah,

I love you guys. We love you too. See you

around’s. So great, isn’t he? He’s the best.

Sucks. He’s leaving. Yeah, that’s um, It’s a big change for you, Titan. I mean, you’re, you’re gonna have a new boss. Hey. Okay. As soon as I got your text, is everything okay? Oh, everything is fine. Uh, I asked you over to discuss some business, Titan business. Of course. Oh, okay. Where’s Uncle Vic? I assume this is always taking over for Sunny, right?

Uh, it is. Uh, your uncle is out of town. He asked me to handle. Handle letting me know. He chose me to take over. I’m assuming he didn’t. He didn’t. What?

He’s giving the job to a different ke hawk,

Justin and it’s late knows. Fine. Come.

Well, uh, it’s a nice surprise favorite cousin popping by for a visit. Yes, this isn’t a social visit.

Perfect timing. I just finished my rewrite.

These sauces on. This is solid. Got it. Straight from the studs mouth. I tell you what, that man whore, Alex Kiki, is going to be the gift that keeps on giving to Lady Whistleblower. Wonderful. Pointier. I thought you would be overjoyed. We have a hit gossip column on our hands. I know. And I am Mattie. I’m really impressed.

Really? Oh, here comes the big butt and don’t you lie. No, it’s um, not about the.

You just had a chat about where we stand romantically and he doesn’t want to think about the future until his divorce is finalized, which should be soon, right? Let’s not soon enough. As far as I’m concerned,

I’m here on behalf of my. So, sir, I want you to hand deliver the decree that formally ends our marriage. Go on, hand it over. I can’t. Why not? Because there’s a problem with the divorce.

Come in.

Hey there. Thanks. How’d you know I was in here? Amigo told me. Hey, there’s, um, something important that I need to talk to you about. Yeah, me too. Okay. You first.

I am pregnant.

Update written by Joseph

Sarah goes to Xander’s room and questions how he could do this. Xander tells her to be more specific but Sarah argues that he knows exactly what he did and she’s not going to let him get away with it this time.

Gwen works on an article on the three funerals for the Spectator. Leo enters their room at the Salem Inn and presents Gwen with the first copy of his gossip column for the Spectator. Gwen tells him that he could’ve just e-mailed it to her but Leo says he wanted to see the look on her face. Gwen then reads Leo’s first tidbit with a look of shock as Leo wrote a rumor that Sonny contracted scabies from a gay orgy that was attended by his own father.

Sonny is at the Brady Pub, on the phone with Will. Sonny asks about Henry on the flight. Chad then arrives so Sonny tells Will that he loves him and he’ll see him tomorrow as he hangs up. Chad hugs Sonny and says he got his text so he asks what’s up. Sonny informs Chad that he has some news as they sit together. Chad hopes it’s good news. Sonny says it definitely is and announces that he and Will are not going to be doing long distance anymore. Chad congratulates him as he knows how hard that’s been for them. Chad then asks if Will is going to be here. Sonny informs Chad that Will is still going to be traveling and he will be too on kind of an extended trip. Chad asks what that means. Sonny then reveals he’s leaving Salem.

Alex sits at the desk at Titan and declares Sonny is no longer the CEO. Alex says he will miss Sonny, but he could get used to this. Stephanie walks in and comments on Alex getting comfortable. Stephanie asks if it’s true that Sonny resigned from Titan. Alex confirms that Sonny is moving to New Zealand with Will, Allie, and Henry. Stephanie guesses things will be different around here. Alex tells Stephanie that for starters, she’s going to be stuck with him. Stephanie says that was fast questioning Alex already being named CEO when Sonny hasn’t even left town yet. Alex says it’s not official yet but he’s the obvious choice since he came back to Salem specifically to help Sonny at Titan. Stephanie asks how. Alex explains that he loves Sonny but he’s not exactly a killer, so he had to give him a little support. Alex adds that when he had to cover for Sonny, he really got to show his Kiriakis drive and business acumen. Stephanie calls it his ego while Alex warns that she’s talking to her new boss. Stephanie reminds him that she is her own boss while Alex reminds her that Titan writes her big checks. Stephanie points out that Victor hasn’t decided who is taking over for Sonny yet, but if Alex is named CEO then he will be signing some of her checks. Alex says it’s her biggest client and her biggest checks. Stephanie doesn’t deny that Titan is great business for SJPR. Alex asks if that will still be the same when Victor announces he’s taking over for Sonny. Stephanie asks what he means. Alex asks if she will be okay working as closely with him as she did with Sonny.

Leo asks Gwen what she thinks. Gwen responds that it just keeps getting worse which excites Leo. Gwen then rips it up and says she can’t print this because it’s not true. Leo is upset and argues that the Spectator needs life, energy, and buzz which he was giving. Gwen worries that they were all libel suits waiting to happen. Leo insists that Sonny won’t sue. Gwen brings up the Kiriakis family having an army of lawyers. Leo doesn’t like Gwen being professional now. Gwen knows Sonny hurt him but he can’t use his column to exact revenge. Leo complains that he worked so hard on it. Gwen applauds his creativity but reminds him that this is a newspaper and they have standards to uphold that were set by her father and her late sister. Gwen is determined to prove that she is every bit as good of an editor as Jack and Abigail were. Leo had no idea she was so serious about maintaining these principles. Gwen says she’s fine with Leo going after everyone he wants, but he has to write the truth, not something made up. Leo questions what to do now then. Gwen instructs him to go find her some dirt that she can actually run, reminding him that she has a deadline so Leo quickly exits the room.

Xander asks if Sarah is going to lecture him about kidnapping Bonnie and Susan or sleeping with Gwen. Sarah says it’s not that. Xander asks why she’s here then since she made it very clear they have nothing to discuss ever again. Sarah says there wasn’t until she heard about his latest stunt. Xander asks what he’s done this time. Sarah declares that he stole the Spectator from Jack and Jennifer and calls him a son of a bitch.

Rex enters the Kiriakis Mansion and asks Maggie if Sarah is there. Maggie says she’s afraid not. Rex says he needs to speak to her and it’s kind of important. Maggie calls that a coincidence as she has something important to discuss with him, starting with the fact that he’s sleeping with her daughter.

Sonny informs Chad that he’s moving to New Zealand since Will’s new project is out there and he’s really excited about it, so he wants to be there with him. Chad asks about Arianna. Sonny reveals that she’s coming with them and admits that Gabi wasn’t thrilled but realized that Arianna wanted to go, so they will have visits. Sonny adds that Allie is coming with them since she and Chanel just broke up and has a lot of changes going on. Sonny knows he’s dropping a lot on Chad so he’s really sorry. Chad tells him not to be sorry as he thinks this will be really good for everyone, especially Sonny and Will, so he’s happy for them. Chad asks when he’s leaving. Sonny informs him that he’s going straight to the airport from here. Chad is surprised it’s so soon. Sonny says he would’ve left with everyone else but he had loose ends to tie up at Titan. Chad asks how Victor took the news. Sonny says exactly as he would expect, but he’ll get over it. Sonny adds that Alex has been dying to be CEO of Titan ever since he got to town. Chad guesses that means Stephanie will be reporting directly to Alex.

Stephanie tells Alex that they are both adults so she doesn’t foresee any problems working together, especially since they are no longer romantically involved. Stephanie adds that they both want Titan to thrive which Alex agrees with. Stephanie says as long as they keep that mind and stay focused, respectful, and mindful of each others’ boundaries then they should get along just fine. Alex and Stephanie then shake hands on it.

Rex guesses Sarah told Maggie about what happened between them. Maggie reveals that Henderson actually did since he saw him leaving Sarah’s bedroom the other day. Rex jokes that he should’ve known Henderson would spread the word. Maggie reminds Rex that Sarah is going through a divorce and is very vulnerable. Rex promises that he would never take advantage of that and has no intention of ever hurting Sarah again. Maggie questions what exactly his intentions are then.

Sarah accuses Xander of stealing the newspaper from Jack and Jennifer, complaining that there is no way they would ever do that by choice. Xander remarks that they always planned on giving the paper to one of their kids and Abigail is no longer with them and JJ is not interested, so Gwen’s the obvious choice, pointing out that she is Jack’s daughter as well. Sarah calls Gwen an evil bitch who has only ever brought misery to her and her family. Sarah brings up all the lives that Gwen turned upside down. Xander mocks the idea of all the Hortons being saints until Gwen came around. Sarah tells Xander that she called Jennifer to ask for the real reason why she gave up the paper, but she said she couldn’t get in to it. Sarah asks if this is how Xander’s twisted partnership with Gwen works, where they commit felonies and find new ways to hurt Jack. Xander argues that Jack made a choice but Sarah refuses to believe it, arguing that Gwen has zero journalism experience. Sarah asks how Xander forced Jack and Jennifer to hand over the paper that they put their blood, sweat, and tears in to for years. Xander then admits to her that he blackmailed Jack and Jennifer in to signing over the paper and it’s all Sarah’s fault.

Sonny assures Chad that there’s nothing to worry about as Alex and Stephanie are over. Chad says he knows that so Sonny asks why he looks so disappointed. Chad says he wouldn’t say disappointed so Sonny asks what it is. Chad responds that Stephanie forgave Alex for turning off her phone when Kayla died, so they are on decent terms now. Sonny calls that great that Stephanie was big enough to forgive Alex, but he insists that they are not getting back together and that Chad is the one that Stephanie wants to be with. Sonny questions what Chad is feeling insecure about. Chad states that he just really likes Stephanie and his kids do too. Sonny calls that good to hear. Chad never thought he would feel this way again but Stephanie showed him that it was possible to start over after such a horrifying loss. Chad guesses he’s a little desperate to not lose her. Sonny says that makes sense since Chad went through a terrible and traumatic loss. Chad says on a lighter note, he’s very grateful that Stephanie is in his life. Chad calls himself a lucky man.

Alex and Stephanie shake hands until Leo walks in. Alex questions how Leo got in. Leo says the door was open. Alex tells him that Sonny isn’t here but Leo says he was looking for Alex. Leo calls Stephanie his girlfriend which she quickly corrects him on, so Leo asks if she holds hands with all her colleagues. Leo tells them that he is Lady Whistleblower, the new gossip columnist of the Spectator. Alex questions what that has to do with him. Leo then asks if it’s true that Alex broke up Salem’s favorite bisexual bakers.

Sarah questions how it’s her fault that Xander blackmailed Jack and Jennifer. Xander responds that he wasn’t going to do it until he ran in to Sarah with Rex and she couldn’t help but rub it in his face that she had sex with him. Sarah says that’s just what Xander did with Gwen. Xander calls that different. Sarah doesn’t care and just wants to know how Xander and Gwen forced Jack and Jennifer to sign over the Spectator. Xander says that’s on a need to know basis so he’s afraid that he can’t tell her. Sarah argues that Jack was Xander’s best friend and Gwen’s father, so she questions how they could do that to him. Sarah adds that it makes her sick. Xander asks if she’s alright as Sarah then runs to the bathroom to throw up.

Rex assures Maggie that what happened between he and Sarah was a one time thing and she made it clear that she’s not wanting a relationship with anybody right now, so they are just friends. Maggie asks if Rex can accept that. Rex says of course he can. Maggie questions why Rex needs to see Sarah so urgently then. Rex informs her that he’s heading back to Chicago. Maggie asks if he came to say goodbye then. Rex then reveals that he wants Sarah to come with him. Maggie questions them not getting back together, but he wants her to move away with him. Rex clarifies that he wants Sarah to work at his hospital as he thinks it would be a great opportunity for her. Maggie calls that very kind of him to extend himself this way. Rex thinks she would be a tremendous asset to their surgical staff and he thinks it would be really good for Sarah, given everything she’s been through. Maggie hates to think of Sarah leaving again, but she’s a grown woman who makes her own decisions, so she just prays that Sarah tunes out the noise and listens to her gut.

Xander asks if Sarah is alright. Sarah comes out of the bathroom and claims she’s fine, blaming it on something she ate. Sarah just wants to know what he’s holding over Jack and Jennifer. Xander doubts they would want him to share that information with her or anyone else. Sarah cannot believe that she actually thought he changed. Sarah calls herself a fool because Xander is the same lowlife thug he’s always been. Sarah declares that she’s so glad that she signed the divorce papers, so she doesn’t have to listen to him rattle off another round of excuses for why he committed another crime against the people she loves. Sarah tells Xander that she’s done for good. Sarah says goodbye to Xander and that she hopes he and Gwen enjoy their stolen paper as she then exits the room.

Chad tells Sonny that he will miss hanging with his best friend. Justin arrives to join them. Sonny mentions that he already ordered him a beer. Justin comments on Sonny always thinking about everybody else except for leaving Salem which he jokes is incredibly selfish. Sonny argues that they can come visit any time. Justin says he and Bonnie definitely will. Sonny says he was just telling Chad how bad he feels about dumping this on everyone out of the blue. Justin says he’s going to miss him but he’s thrilled that he and Will are going to be reunited. Sonny admits it’s been rough being apart. Justin talks about thinking Leo was going to get his fangs in to him again. Sonny assures they don’t have to worry about Leo anymore and toasts to Leo being someone else’s problem now…

Leo asks Alex again if he broke up Chanel and Allie. Alex responds that he doesn’t know where he gets his information but he’s way off. Leo then asks if Alex is denying sucking lemons with Allie and then stumbling back to her place for a night of raunchy sex. Stephanie gives Alex a shocked look and questions him about Allie. Alex says it’s not how Leo is making it sound. Leo then asks if it’s not true that Chanel came home and found Alex there. Stephanie then questions Alex about Chanel catching him in the act. Alex argues that Chanel came home the next morning. Leo says that sounds like confirmation to him. Alex argues that he didn’t confirm anything but Leo says it’s too late. Leo asks how awkward it was when Chanel caught them or if it wasn’t awkward at all since they had already had a threesome which Stephanie questions. Alex then angrily grabs Leo’s recorder and smashes it. Alex tells Leo that if he wants a comment, he can take his whistle and shove it up his blower lady. Leo complains about what he did to his recorder. Alex warns that he’s lucky he didn’t do it to his face and tells Leo to get the hell out before he actually loses it. Leo tells him to be sure to pick up a copy of tomorrow’s Spectator as he hurries out of the office. Alex turns to Stephanie but she says he doesn’t have to explain his personal life to her as it’s none of her business. Alex insists that Leo made it sound a lot more salacious than it actually was. Stephanie tells him to say no more as he, Allie, and Chanel are all consenting adults so what he does with them has nothing to do with her. Stephanie adds that she has more work to get done as she leaves the office, leaving Alex disappointed.

Xander drinks a bottle of whiskey in his room until Gwen shows up and says she just thought she’d stop by to see if he had any last minute concerns about the paper. Gwen asks if he can believe they are actually putting their first edition of the Spectator out. Gwen excitedly states that they did it and are actually running a newspaper. Gwen notes that Xander doesn’t seem very excited and asks if everything is alright. Xander informs her that Sarah just left so Gwen asks what she had to scold him about this time. Xander says it was about blackmailing the paper from Jack and Jennifer. Gwen questions how she found out. Xander explains that Sarah wouldn’t believe they would just willingly give them the paper, so she asked Jennifer why they really did it but she was smart enough to keep her mouth shut, then Sarah came here to get it out of him. Xander argues that Sarah was relentless, so he just told her that they blackmailed them but he didn’t say with what. Gwen doesn’t think Sarah would be so sanctimonious if she knew that her cousin was the one who mowed her down with her car while she was high on painkillers. Gwen apologizes and says she shouldn’t speak so low of Sarah since it’s obvious by the look on Xander’s face that he’s still in love with her.

Sarah goes to work at the hospital where a nurse asks if she’s okay. Sarah claims she’s fine and thinks she just had food poisoning. The nurse asks if she’s sure that’s all it is.

Justin guesses they’ll have to figure out the time difference with New Zealand so they know when to call. Sonny says he’s already figured out that New Zealand is 17 hours ahead. Alex arrives to join them but when he sees Chad, he remarks that he thought this was family only. Sonny insists that Chad is family so he asks if they can just play nice. Alex reluctantly agrees and sits at the table. Justin asks if he had a tough day but Alex says it’s all good. Alex asks Sonny about New Zealand and calls it a radical move. Sonny tells Alex that he should come visit if he has any time off being CEO of Titan since it’s a stressful job, but he thinks Alex is going to kill it. Sonny tells Alex that he was born to be a CEO. Justin agrees that of all his sons, Alex is the most like Victor. Chad jokes that he wishes while Sonny reminds him to play nice. Justin declares that Victor couldn’t have made a better choice. Alex thanks Justin and then hugs Sonny, saying he’s going to miss him. Alex tells Sonny not to be a stranger and that he loves him. Alex says he’ll see them later. Chad offers a handshake but Alex leaves him hanging and walks away. Stephanie arrives as Alex is leaving the Pub. Chad hugs her and says she made it. Stephanie responds that she wasn’t going to miss saying goodbye to her favorite cousin. Justin says he hates to cut this short but he has to take care of something for a client. Justin hugs Sonny and says he loves him. Sonny invites Justin and Bonnie to come visit around Easter. Justin says they will definitely see him down under as he exits. Stephanie tells Sonny that she finally moved back to Salem and now he’s leaving. Sonny says they need to work on their timing while Stephanie tells him to promise to come back.

Sarah tells the nurse that whatever it is will pass in a minute. The nurse is unsure since there’s a ton of bugs going around. Sarah insists that as a doctor, she knows the difference and this is nothing. The nurse suggests letting the lab run a few tests to be safe. Sarah agrees that it can’t hurt.

Gwen asks Xander if he’s still in love with Sarah. Xander calls it complicated. Gwen calls it confusing since the other night when they were together, he seemed to indicate that he’d prefer to be with someone like her and actually said that they belonged together, but then the next morning he woke up after dreaming of Sarah, so she realized that while his marriage may be over, he might not be over her. Xander says he told her that he doesn’t know if or when he ever will be over Sarah. Gwen says they were going to talk, have breakfast, and figure this out but then they bumped in to Sarah in the town square and never had that conversation. Gwen guesses that she’s just unclear on where they stand. Xander says he meant everything he said and he does care for her and he’s grateful for all that she sacrificed for him, but he is still coming to terms with the very recent end of his marriage, so he doesn’t have any answers for her right now. Gwen claims that she completely understands. Xander adds that maybe once the divorce is finalized, he can start thinking about what the future holds. Gwen says that makes sense and she understands, so she suggests keeping things between them strictly professional until then, since they are running a newspaper together. Xander agrees that sounds like a plan. Gwen says she has a million things to do before putting the Spectator out. Gwen asks if Xander has any last minute thoughts or concerns about the layout or headlines. Xander says not that he can think of and she can let him know if something comes up, otherwise he will see her tomorrow. Gwen then exits the room while holding back tears.

Stephanie tells Sonny that she owes him a huge thank you for taking a chance on SJPR and giving her a huge opportunity at Titan. Sonny feels he owes Paulina for bringing her to town. Stephanie says that when he comes back to town, she’ll be saving him a seat at the bar. Chad reminds Sonny that he has a plane to catch and can’t miss his flight. Sonny jokes that Will would kill all of them. Sonny hugs Stephanie and tells them to take care of each other. Chad says they will. Sonny hugs Chad and says he loves them. Stephanie says they love him too. Sonny says he’ll see them around as he then exits the Pub. Stephanie comments that Sonny is so great. Chad calls him the best as he hugs her. Stephanie says it sucks that Sonny is leaving. Chad calls it a big change for her at Titan since she’s going to have a new boss.

Alex goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and tells Maggie that he got her text and asks if everything is okay. Maggie says everything is fine and that she asked him over to discuss Titan business. Alex asks where Victor is as he assumes this is about who is taking over Titan. Maggie confirms that it is but Victor is out of town so he asked her to handle it. Alex assumes she means handling letting him know that Victor chose him to take over. Maggie then reveals that Victor didn’t choose Alex and announces that Victor is giving the job to a different Kiriakis…

Justin goes to Xander’s room. Xander calls this a nice surprise for his favorite cousin to pop in for a visit. Justin informs him that this isn’t a social visit.

Gwen goes home to her room at the Salem Inn, where Leo says it’s perfect timing as he just finished rewriting his column. Gwen asks if his sources are solid. Leo says he got it straight from his mouth and comments that Alex will be the gift that keeps on giving for him. Leo thought she would be overjoyed. Gwen says she is really impressed but she and Xander just had a chat about where they stand romantically and he doesn’t want to think about the future until his divorce is finalized. Leo encourages that should be soon but Gwen says not soon enough.

Justin informs Xander that he’s here on behalf of his client. Xander asks if he came to formally deliver the decree that ends their marriage. Justin reveals that he can’t because there’s a problem with the divorce…

Rex finds Sarah in a waiting room at the hospital and says there is something important that he needs to talk to her about. Sarah says she does too so Rex tells her to go first. Sarah then announces that she is pregnant!

Update written by Joseph

Chanel posts a “Help Wanted” sign at the Bakery. Johnny walks by and comments on the long line at the Bakery this morning. Chanel apologizes and says they are short staffed until she can replace Allie. Johnny thought they were getting back together. Chanel is surprised he hasn’t heard and declares that they broke up for good this time.

Wendy questions Li announcing that he and Gabi are moving in. Li explains that he did some thinking while in jail and that she said Allie left town and Chanel moved in with her mother, so Wendy needs roommates and they need a place, so it works out perfectly. Gabi adds that it was obviously Li’s idea while she suggested they call first. Li says they were doing Wendy a favor since she can’t afford the big apartment all by herself. Wendy informs him that she’s actually not by herself because Tripp is moving in too.

EJ sits at home going over a paper until Nicole walks in. EJ says he was starting to get worried when he couldn’t reach her. Nicole assures that she’s fine and asks what’s wrong. Nicole asks if it’s Holly but EJ assures that she’s fine. EJ says this is a business emergency, not a personal one. EJ reveals that he just got the results back from the lab tech and it seems he was right about Stefan. EJ declares that his brother has been drugging him.

Stefan shows up at Chloe’s door and says he got her message and it was good to hear her voice. Chloe apologizes for being out of touch for so long. Stefan brings up that Brady said she left town. Chloe says she did but she’s back now and he’s actually the first person she wanted to see. Stefan is glad to hear that because he really wanted to see her too.

Johnny is surprised when Chanel tells him that Allie slept with Alex and lied to her about it, until she found Alex cowering under the table after his cell phone rang. Johnny hates that Allie did that to Chanel and says he’s really sorry. Chanel really thought they could trust each other but she was obviously wrong. Johnny asks if there’s no chance at all that they could work things out. Chanel says even if she wanted to, it’s kind of hard when Allie moved all the way to New Zealand with her other brother which shocks Johnny.

EJ shows Nicole the test results and that the drug causes the symptoms they experienced of erratic behavior, dizziness and confusion. Nicole guesses Stefan forgiving EJ was just an act like he suspected. EJ says Stefan may have inherited the DiMera genes but not their instincts. Nicole points out that EJ has proof but it’s only circumstantial evidence that Stefan was behind it. EJ explains that he thought about that so he had his investigator dust the vial for prints, finding his, Johnny’s, and Stefan’s. Nicole calls that a brilliant move and declares that now EJ has Stefan dead to rights.

Chloe comments that Stefan looks a little rough and asks if he’s okay. Stefan responds that he’s doing pretty well considering Brady kidnapped him and tied him to Eric’s bed for going on 24 hours. Chloe is shocked and asks why Brady would do that. Stefan explains that Eric found a way to spring Dr. Rolf from jail, so they ordered him to finish deprogramming him only Dr. Rolf didn’t have any equipment so he had to use new equipment but it malfunctioned again. Stefan adds that he ended up passing out and when he came to, Rafe was there, ordering him to go to the hospital. Chloe insists that he needs to get checked out. Stefan assures that he’s fine except for the constant ringing in his head. Stefan says he will go to the doctor, but he got Chloe’s message and wanted to see her or at least he thought he did. Chloe can’t believe they did this to him. Stefan guarantees that even though they didn’t finish, he’s not letting them anywhere near him again. Chloe says regardless of whether he fully gets unbrainwashed, she’s had a lot of time to think while away and she’s much clearer about things now. Stefan says he is too. Chloe tells Stefan that she doesn’t want to hurt him after everything he’s just been through, but she has decided that she cannot be with a man who loves two women.

Gabi decides this whole living together thing wasn’t meant to be but Li insists they will figure it out. Tripp says he was going to grab coffee in the town square and asks if anyone needs anything. Li starts giving his order but Wendy says he doesn’t have to get them anything. Wendy adds that Tripp doesn’t have to leave on their account but Tripp thinks it’s best to give them a chance to chat. Tripp tells Wendy that he only offered to stay because she needed a roommate but he can just stay at his dad’s. Wendy tells him he doesn’t need to do that. Tripp says he’ll be back and that he’ll get Li’s coffee on the way out. Wendy can’t believe Li and Gabi thought she’d just be cool with this. Gabi repeats that it was not her idea. Li insists it will be a fine arrangement and calls them a wonderful happy family. Gabi disagrees. Wendy calls them highly dysfunctional and adds that Li and Gabi hates each others’ guts. Li says that’s not true so Wendy clarifies that he loves Gabi while Gabi hates his guts which is just as bad. Wendy declares that she doesn’t want to be apart of it and refuses to be in the middle of a warzone.

Tripp joins Joey in the town square, who is sitting at a table and texting his girlfriend. Joey tells Tripp that he was just telling her that he’s heading back to Seattle. Joey feels bad leaving so soon after the funeral but says it’s nice to know that Tripp and Stephanie will be with Steve, making sure he’s taking care of himself. Tripp then informs him that he might just have Stephanie because he’s thinking about moving out.

Gabi tells Wendy that the contract she signed requires her to live under the same roof as Li but it says nothing about the same bed, so she might take the apartment on the other side of the building. Wendy calls that an idea while Li calls it a bad one. Li argues that it wouldn’t comply with the spirit of the agreement as they must share a home. Gabi agrees with occupying the same apartment but not the same bed. Li says they’ll see how she feels in six months. Li tells Wendy that he’s sure they can all peacefully co-exist but he’s afraid that Tripp’s going to have to take the sofa. Wendy tells him that is not happening. Li questions not and why she’s so set on bunking with Tripp when she’s giving things another go with Johnny. Wendy says that has nothing to do with it but the fact that she and Tripp already made an agreement before they showed up. Wendy adds that Li may be a hotshot executive but she’s the one responsible for the lease which means she’s in charge and he’s not going to just come in and railroad her. Li offers to make her life easier by taking some of the responsibility off and paying for the third roommate too. Wendy questions how when neither of them have a job. Li calls that a temporary situation. Wendy argues that she’s not counting on anything from him. Wendy decides she’s tired of arguing, so out of loyalty to him and because they have nowhere else to go, she almost feels sorry for them so they can stay as long as Tripp is okay with it. Li calls it excellent that she finally came around. Wendy then tells Li not to be too excited since he’s the one taking the sofa.

Johnny and Chanel go to the Brady Pub where Johnny drinks a shot. Chanel asks if he feels better now but Johnny says he feels worse. Johnny complains about his twin sister moving halfway across the world and not even telling him about it. Johnny guesses he just doesn’t mean as much to Allie as he thought he did. Chanel insists that’s not true but admits maybe Allie is still upset that Johnny almost kissed her. Chanel adds that when she confronted Allie about Alex, she told her that they almost slept together. Johnny argues that they didn’t do anything, no matter how bad they both wanted to. Chanel says that’s not how Allie saw it. Johnny goes over how Allie cheats on Chanel, but somehow he ends up being the bad guy. Chanel tells Johnny that she’s really sorry. Johnny remarks that now he’s kind of glad that his sister is halfway around the world.

Nicole asks EJ if he’s going straight to the authorities with his proof. EJ asks where the fun would be in that. Nicole asks if he’s going to confront Stefan then. EJ says no as Stefan can’t know that they are on to him. EJ adds that now he has the upper hand since knowledge is power. Nicole asks what he’s going to do with that power. EJ responds that he’s going to let Stefan keep drugging him.

Chloe says if Stefan left three messages for her and she didn’t get back to him right away, he’s got to take the hint. Chloe knows they had a relationship but says this is bordering on stalking and it has to stop. Stefan responds that it will stop immediately. Chloe calls that a relief. Stefan states that it will stop because his feelings for her are gone. Stefan declares that he doesn’t love Chloe anymore.

Joey questions Tripp moving in with Wendy. Tripp says maybe as they are still figuring it out. Joey calls that awesome but Tripp says that’s not what it is as Wendy just needs a roommate and it’s a completely platonic arrangement. Tripp reminds Joey that Wendy is trying to work things out with Johnny and if that’s what she wants, he’s okay with it.

Chanel tells Johnny that she’s sorry that his sister left town without telling him. Johnny argues that it’s not just leaving town as she’s in a completely different hemisphere. Chanel understands but reminds him that she’s the one with a broken heart and Johnny making it about himself isn’t making it any easier. Johnny admits he got so caught up in his own feelings that he forgot to think about her feelings. Chanel remarks that there’s a lot of that going on around here. Johnny apologizes and suggests maybe it’s for the best. Johnny argues that Allie is the one who blew it here so it’s her loss, not Chanel’s. Johnny tells Chanel that she deserves to be happy and to be with someone as amazing and special as she is. Johnny is sure that one day very soon, she will be as he hugs her.

Nicole calls it insane for EJ to let Stefan keep drugging him. EJ explains that he’s going to let Stefan continue drugging the drinks, only to switch them and give Stefan a taste of his own medicine. Nicole says then Stefan will be the one behaving erratically, making a fool of himself, and hurting the company. EJ adds that then Stefan will be the one out of the company and out on his ass.

Chloe questions Stefan saying he no longer loves her. Stefan repeats that his romantic feelings for her are gone. Chloe questions it happening just like that. Stefan says he’s sorry if it seems callous for him to be so blunt. Chloe calls the whole thing very confusing and strange. Chloe then admits that she never really felt like his feelings for her were that genuine. Stefan says that doesn’t mean she’s not an incredibly desirable woman. Chloe says he doesn’t have to flatter her and repeats that the whole thing has been strange from the beginning. Stefan guesses the deprogramming kicked in before he passed out. Stefan thought he would still feel something after the Christmas and New Year’s that they shared together. Stefan says they had a great time and he’s so grateful for that. Chloe understands if he has realized that he wants to be with Gabi and that he loves her. Stefan tells Chloe that he’s sorry as he knows this all seems so sudden. Chloe says considering the circumstances, it’s not that surprising. Chloe guesses it’s the way that it should be, so she’s happy for him. Stefan hopes they can still be friends which Chloe agrees to. Stefan can’t believe this whole thing is over. Stefan tells Chloe that she can be with Brady now too. Chloe says at some point, maybe. Stefan calls Chloe an incredible woman and repeats that he’s grateful for the moments they shared. Chloe says she is too and tells him to go be with Gabi. Stefan then exits the room.

Joey tells Tripp that he wants Wendy to be happy and they make a great couple. Tripp tells him to stop thinking that and adds that the apartment won’t just be the two of them anyway since Li and Gabi showed up with their bags to move in too. Stefan comes out of the Salem Inn and questions what Tripp just said.

Chanel calls it ironic since a few months ago, Johnny would’ve been gloating over Allie leaving. Johnny says that was when he was competing for Chanel and now he’s just genuinely sorry to see her hurting. Chanel thanks him and says at least things are working out for one of them since Paulina told her that Johnny is trying again with Wendy. Johnny tells Chanel that he will always care about her which Chanel says means a lot. Chanel decides she’s tired of being mopey and toasts to happiness, hope, and no more heartbreak for either of them.

Li tells Wendy that he’s not sleeping on a lumpy sofa. Wendy tells Li that she did it for weeks, so now it’s his turn and he can either put up with it or find a new place to stay. Li decides they will hold out for a place of their own where it will just be the two of them but Gabi says no and that she’s going to start unpacking. Wendy adds that she will tell Tripp that they worked everything out and tells Li that there’s a pillow and a comforter in the closet.

Nicole tells EJ that Stefan hasn’t exactly been thinking straight the last few months while pining over Gabi and Chloe at the same time. EJ says he made be a hormonal mess but his brain is working perfectly, so there’s no excuse for what he’s done. Nicole says she’s just questioning EJ’s proposed solution as she is unsure about poisoning which she points out is illegal. EJ argues that it’s Stefan’s drug and vial so technically, Stefan’s drugging himself while his hands will be clean. Nicole gets his point and says if he’s looking for an accomplice, she is his woman. EJ says it’s cocktail hour so Stefan will be there any minute and then the game will begin.

Stefan apologizes for interrupting but questions if Tripp just said that Li and Gabi are moving in with him. Tripp confirms that they showed up at Wendy’s with bags so Stefan rushes off. Joey calls that weird while Tripp wonders what that was alll about. Tripp says he doesn’t know what the outcome of the apartment situation is going to be so maybe he should just stay home with Stephanie and look after Steve. Joey urges Tripp to move and to not let Li chase him off. Tripp reminds Joey that he and Wendy are just friends so he needs to stop. Joey asks why Tripp can’t admit that he has feelings for Wendy and wants to be with her. Wendy then approaches their table.

EJ reminds Nicole that he was worried about her since he called her several times and she sent him straight to voicemail. Nicole admits that she was having an intense conversation with Eric. EJ realizes that’s why she seems tense. EJ sits her down and begins massaging her neck. EJ asks her about her run in with Eric. Nicole says he was definitely on edge which may have something to do with he and Sloan not being together anymore. EJ notes that was quick. Nicole adds that Eric also told her that Roman encouraged him to work it out with her which EJ questions.

Chloe goes to see Brady in the interrogation room at the police station. Brady is surprised to see she’s back and assumes she knows why he is here. Chloe questions what he was thinking. Brady responds that he was thinking if he just got her out of Stefan’s head, then everything would be fine and life would be easier for everybody. Brady declares that it was all for nothing as Stefan refuses to be deprogrammed by Dr. Rolf and complains that he just wanted to put him where he was, back when he only had eyes for Gabi. Brady doesn’t think it’s ever going to happen now. Chloe then reveals that he doesn’t have to worry because the procedure actually did work and Stefan is completely over her.

Gabi complains about there being no food in the kitchen so Li offers her a bag of chips which she takes and then purposely drops crumbs on the couch where Li will sleep. Gabi tells Li not to stare at her. Li says he’s just taking in her beauty while Gabi complains that he’s creeping her out more than usual. Li decides he will go wash off the jailhouse stench in the shower then. Gabi tells him to stay in there as long as he wants. Stefan then shows up at the door.

Wendy tells Tripp that she’s sorry about Li being ridiculous earlier and says they decided that Li will sleep on the couch while the rest of them will each take a bedroom. Tripp is surprised Li agreed to that while Wendy explains that he was outvoted. Wendy notes that Li and Gabi have a complicated arrangement but she wants to stay. Tripp thinks it would just be easier to find another place but Wendy says no as she wants him there too. Joey declares it’s settled then that Tripp is moving in and suggests they go to the Brady Pub to celebrate. Wendy brings up the last time that she had drinks with Tripp at the Pub being because Joey called her and lied. Joey questions Tripp telling her about that while Tripp notes that it was pretty obvious. Joey apologizes and promises he’s not in the matchmaking business anymore so it won’t happen again. Joey adds that the drinks will be on him so Wendy agrees to go. Joey then jokes with Tripp that he doesn’t need a matchmaker anymore because they’re going to be living together.

Chanel comments to Johnny that it seems like things are going well for him and Wendy. Johnny says they watched Evil Dead 2 for Valentine’s Day and it’s nothing serious between them right now and they didn’t plan it so they will see where things go. Chanel hopes it goes well for them because Wendy is really nice and she knows she rocked the boat for them, so she’s glad they got past that. Johnny thanks her. Wendy then arrives with Joey and Tripp and sees Johnny with Chanel.

EJ questions if Eric told Nicole that he wants her back. Nicole clarifies that he said his father wanted them to get back together. Nicole assures the conversation was awkward and not romantic, adding that Eric got really annoyed when EJ texted her and then stomped off which makes EJ smile. EJ admits he’s not sorry. Nicole says that Eric just wanted to ask her about the Orchid and thinks that’s all he wanted to talk about. Nicole assures that she’s with EJ now and jokes about poisoning people bringing people closer. EJ stops and asks if she’s sure this is what she wants. EJ states that what’s happening between them feels good and right from his perspective, but if there’s any chance for her and Eric, he doesn’t want to stand in the way or for her to be in something she doesn’t want to be in. Nicole appreciates him saying that but assures that her perspective is the same as his, that this feels good and right. EJ asks if she’s sure. Nicole confirms that she is and that she and Eric are so done. Nicole holds EJ’s hand and tells him that this is exactly where she wants to be as they kiss.

Brady questions Chloe saying it worked. Chloe informs him that Stefan has been completely deprogrammed. Brady argues that they didn’t finish the procedure. Chloe says whatever he did worked because Stefan came to see her earlier and a lightbulb went off, then he went on about how he loves Gabi and wants to be with Gabi, while he has no romantic feelings for her. Brady exclaims that this is amazing but then notices that Chloe doesn’t look happy. Brady knows Chloe developed feelings for Stefan which she admits. Chloe guesses she’s kind of relieved that she’s completely through with Stefan and he can move on with Gabi. Brady reminds her that they can move on as well but Chloe says it’s not that simple.

Gabi questions why Stefan is there. Stefan says he came to talk to her. Gabi tells him that she’s busy and tries to shut the door but Stefan pleads with her. Gabi remarks that he finally got her name right. Stefan apologizes for Valentine’s Day and admits he acted like a complete ass and it will never happen again. Gabi says she doesn’t need any more apologies from him and tries to shut the door but Stefan asks her to please listen to him. Stefan informs Gabi that Dr. Rolf got out of jail and finished deprogramming her which surprises her. Stefan confirms his feelings for Chloe are completely gone and that Gabi told him to call her when that happened. Stefan tells Gabi that he loves her and only her. Stefan declares that Gabi is the love of his life and the only one he wants. Gabi says she’s at a loss for words. Stefan insists they can be happy and finally be together as there’s nothing stopping them. Stefan hugs Gabi as Li comes out of the shower and yells at Stefan to get his hands off of his wife.

Wendy, Joey, and Tripp greet Johnny and Chanel. Joey remarks that he hopes they are not interrupting anything. Johnny says that Chanel was just telling him about Allie moving to New Zealand. Johnny then assures that this is not what it looks like. Wendy comments that she knows Johnny and Chanel are just friends, just like her and Tripp. Wendy then remarks that Johnny sitting here having drinks with Chanel doesn’t mean anything more than Tripp moving in with her.

Brady tells Chloe that he knows he hurt her when he lied to her about Kristen but he didn’t have a choice. Brady knows she needed time to process her feelings but argues that what they had was amazing. Brady asks if Chloe can honestly tell him that she doesn’t love him anymore. Chloe admits she can’t do that because she is in love with him but he kidnapped a man to make him forget his feelings for her and didn’t talk to her or him about it. Brady admits he was a little desperate. Chloe asks if he even thought about what happens next. Brady argues that he had tunnel vision because he saw them being happy together again at the end. Chloe cries that it’s not that simple. Brady argues that she just said she’s still in love with him. Chloe says she is but brings up that Brady’s daughter despises her and blames her for him breaking up with her mother. Brady says they will handle that together and that Rachel will get older and understand. Chloe asks if she’s going to understand that Brady went to prison for kidnapping a man and endangering his life.

EJ offers Nicole another drink and says it appears that Stefan is going to miss cocktail hour. Nicole says it’s just more for them but he has to come home sometime, so they’ll get him next time.

Stefan knows Tripp said Li would be there too but he also knows that Gabi asked for a divorce. Li tells Stefan that he’s behind on the times because Gabi has agreed to move in with him which shocks Stefan. Stefan tells Gabi that he knows he screwed up but he’s back to his old self now and he loves her, so she doesn’t have to stay with Li. Li then reveals that Gabi signed a contract to remain in the marriage. Gabi points out that it’s just for six months. Stefan doesn’t understand and questions why Gabi would agree to that. Li says it’s none of his business. Stefan questions what the hell is going on here. Li tells Stefan that he and Gabi need to christen their new home and shuts the door on Stefan.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, business must be, uh, booming. The line was out the door this morning. I had to get the crap copy from the cart. Sorry about that. We’re short staffed, obviously, until I can replace your. I thought you two were getting back together. Oh, you haven’t heard. I know. We broke up for good this time.

What do you mean you’re moving in? Well, you told me Allie left town and Nels living with her mother, so I did some thinking last night in jail and figured uni roommates, we need a place, works out. Perfect. This was your brother’s idea, obviously. I said we should call first, and I told Gabby we were doing you a favor.

I mean, you can’t afford this big apartment all by yourself. Actually, I’m not by myself. Trip’s moving in too.

Oh, good. I was starting to get worried when I couldn’t reach. I, I’m fine. What’s wrong? Is it Holly? She seemed pretty bummed when I left earlier. I guess her and her best friend had a tiff yesterday. Well, I’m sure they’re made up. And your dialing daughter is fine. She’s just as charming as ever. But this is a business emergency, not a personal one.

I just got the results back from the lab tech. Okay. What’d they say? It seems I was right about s. My brother has been drunking me. I got your message. It was good to hear your voice. Uh, sorry I’ve been out of touch for so long. Yeah, it has been a while. Brady said you left town. I did, but I’m back now and you’re actually the first person I wanted to see.

I’m very glad to hear that because I really want to see you too.

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

Wait, so my sister slept with Alex Kikis. Yep. And then lied to me about it, except there he. In our apartment. I found him cowering under the table when his cell phone rang. I, I, I, I, I just, I, I can’t even believe that she would do something like that. Actually, you know what? No, I can, I can believe it. I’m just, I hate that she did it to you, Chanel.

I’m really sorry. Yeah, me too. I really thought that Allie and I could trust each other, but I was obviously, So you don’t think there’s any chance at all you guys could, you know, work it out? Oh, no. Even if I wanted to. It’s kind of hard to work things out with someone when they moved all the way to New Zealand with her other brother.

What Al Allie did? What

I knew it, as you can see per the report, the drug causes the symptoms. We both experienced erratic behavior, dizziness, confusion. Damn him. So forgiving you, it was just an. Just like you suspected. Mm-hmm. , my brother may have inherited Al Dara gene, but certainly not our instincts. Okay. Well now you have proof that you’ve been drugged, but it’s only circumstantial evidence that Stefan’s behind it.

I thought of that, which is why before I got the vial tested, I had my investigated dust for Prince. He found mine and Johnny’s as expected and. Oh, brilliant. Move. Now you’ve got him dead to rice. Mm. An apt choice of words.

You look a little. Rough. Are you okay? I’m doing pretty well considering. Brady kidnapped me and tied me to his brother’s bed, like a Thanksgiving Turkey, and left me there for, come on 24 hours. What, why would Brady do that? Because Eric found a way to Spring Wolf from jail and they ordered Wolf to finish deprogramming me.

Oh my God. Yeah, except . Rolf didn’t have any equipment. So he made new equipment and it malfunctioned again, and I passed out and when I came to, commissioner Hernandez was there and he ordered me to go to the hospital. Ah, okay. That is a lot to take in, but first you need to be checked out by a doctor. I’m, I’m, I’m fine.

I, except for the constant ringing in my head, but I will go to a doctor. . Okay. But I got your message and I wanted to see

At least I thought I wanted to see you, Stephan. I can’t believe they did this to you, and neither can I, but I, I can guarantee you this, even though they didn’t finish the deprogramming, I’m not letting them anywhere near me. Again, I don’t, I don’t blame you. But listen, regardless of whether you ever get fully un brainwashed or whatever, um, I’ve had a lot of time to think when I was away, and I’m much clearer about things now.

That’s great. So am I. So listen, Chloe, can I please finish? I’m sorry. Yeah. Look, the last thing I wanna do is hurt you, especially after everything that you’ve just been through, but. You know, I’ve decided I, I cannot be with a man who loves two women.

Okay. So maybe this whole living together thing wasn’t meant to be No, no, no. We’ll figure it out. Yeah. Well while you do that, uh, I was just about to head out for some coffee at the square. Can I grab anybody? Anything? Excellent. I’ll take a decaf. Soy latte, extra shot. A little bit of coke. No, no. You don’t have to get us anything.

You don’t have to leave on their account. No, I think it’s best to give your wonderful, happy family some space to chat. Right, and, and look, just to be clear, I only offered to move in cuz you needed a roommate, but I. Stay at my dad’s smell big. No, no, no. You don’t have to be. I’ll do that soon. Trip Steve Cap, right?

Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it.

Damnit, you guys, I can’t believe you. Two thought I’d just be cool with this. Not my idea, as you know. Oh, come on. This is gonna be a fine arrangement. I mean, like Trip said, we’re a wonderful, happy family. Yeah. Except for the happy part. Yeah, we’re more like a highly dysfunctional family, and let’s be honest here.

You two hate each other’s guts. That’s not true. Oh, okay. So you love Gabby and she hates your guts, which is just as bad and I don’t wanna be a part of it. Okay. I refuse to be in the middle of a war zone.

Let me guess. Chatting with a girlfriend. How’d you know? Oh, you got that goofy little grin on your face. I gotta work on that now. I was just telling her I’m headed back to Seattle. I feel bad I’m leaving so soon after the funeral. , but it’s nice knowing that you and Steph are gonna be here keeping Dad company, making sure he’s taking care of himself.

Yeah. He might just have Stephanie and actually, I’m thinking about moving out.

The contract I signed requires me to live under the same roof as your brother, but it sure as hell says nothing about the same bed. In fact, I might take the apartment on the opposite side of the building. Oh, now there’s an idea, a bad one that would not comply with the spirit of the agreement. Come on, we must share a home.

You know that, okay, fine. I can live with, I’ll keep occupying the same apartment, but the same bed, the same room, the same toothbrush holder, forget it. Well, we’ll just see how you feel about that in six months. So Jwe, I’m sure we can all peacefully coexist in the meantime, but I’m afraid your friend Tripp’s gonna have to take sofa.

Uh, no, no, no, no, no. That is not happening. Why not? Well, why are you so set on bunking with trip anyway? I thought you said you were giving things another go with Johnny. We are, but that has nothing to do with this trip, and I already made an agreement before you two showed up, and you may be my big brother and some Hot Shot executive, but I’m the one responsible for the lease, which means I’m the one in charge and you’re not just gonna come in and railroad me.

How about I make your life easier and take some responsibility off your plate? I’ll cover the rim for the third room too. How? No, you, you don’t have a job, neither of you do. That’s a temporary situation. Chicken. And while it is, I’m not counting on anything from you, God. Okay. Okay. I am tired of arguing out of loyalty to you brother.

And because you two obviously have nowhere else to go, I almost emphasis on almost feel sorry for you both. So yeah, you too can stay here as long as trip’s Okay with it. Excellent. She finally comes around. Oh, I wouldn’t be too excited, brother. Since you are the one who’s taking the sofa.

Ah, feeling better? ? Uh, no. No, actually no. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m feeling a little worse the more it sinks in. I mean, she Chanel for God’s sake. She’s my twin sister. She moves halfway across the world. Doesn’t even tell me about it. I, I, I, I don’t know. I, I guess I just, I don’t mean as much to her as I thought that I did.

That’s, you know, that is not true. But maybe she’s still upset that. You almost kissed me. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know. Maybe, maybe that is the reason. And when I confronted her about Alex, I told her that we almost lept together . But Chanel, we didn’t, we didn’t kiss, we didn’t touch, we didn’t do anything no matter how bad we both wanted to.

Okay. Well that is not how she saw it . So, so let me just get this straight really fast. All cheats on you, and I don’t mean almost. And somehow I end up being the bad guy here. That is fantastic. That’s great. I guess so. I’m, I’m really sorry, Johnny. Yeah. Well now I’m kind of glad you know that my sister is, uh, halfway around the world.

So now that you have proof, are you gonna go straight to the authorities? Now? Where’s the fun in that? So you’re gonna confront your brother? No, I’m not. Stephan can’t know that. We’re onto him right now. I have the upper hand since knowledge is power, as we all know. And what are you gonna do with that power?

I’m going to let him keep trucking.

Stephan, if you leave three messages for me and I don’t get back to you right away, you’ve gotta take that hint and understand that there’s a reason for it. Now, I know that we’ve had a consensual relationship, but this is bordering on stalking and it has to stop and it. Immediately. Oh, okay. Well, that’s a relief.

Yeah. Yeah. It’ll stop just, uh, because my feelings for you, they’re gone. I don’t love you anymore, Chloe.

So you’re moving in with Wendy? Mm-hmm. maybe. Well, we’re still figuring it all out. Dude. That’s awesome. Up top. Are you gonna leave me hanging? Yeah. I’m sorry dude. But yeah, this is not what it is. I, she just needs a roommate. So what, it’s like a completely platonic arrangement. Yes. It’s exactly what it is.

At least. Okay, you gotta stop what I’ve already told you. All right? She’s trying to work things out with Johnny, and if that’s what she wants, then I’m okay with it.

Look, I’m sorry your sister blew you off and didn’t tell you she was leaving town. Leaving town. She’s in a completely different hemis. Okay. You’re right. I get that. And I understand that you’re upset, but I’m the one with broken hard here and you making this about yourself isn’t making this any easier.

You’re right, you’re right. Uh, I just, I, I got so caught up in my own feelings. I. I forgot to think about yours. Yeah, well there’s a lot of that going on around here. Hey, I’m sorry. Right, and I’m so sorry for what she did to you, but hey, maybe it’s, oh, maybe it’s for the best. I mean, come on. Allie is the one who blew it here.

This is her loss, not yours. You deserve. You deserve to be. You know, you deserve to be with someone who is as amazing and special as you are, and I am sure that one day, very soon you will be,

you’re gonna let Stephan keep drugging you. That’s. I’m not going to let him keep drugging me. I’m going to let him keep drugging me. Oh, so you’re saying that if Stephan doesn’t know you’re onto him, then he’ll continue to lace your drinks and then all you have to do is perform a switcheroo. Ah. In other words, give him a taste of his own medicine.

Exactly. And then Stephan will be the one behaving erratically and making a fool of himself and hurting the company. Mm-hmm. . And he will be the one out of Deir on his ass. I’m sorry, what?

My feelings for youth, the romantic ones. They’re gone just like that. Wow.

Chloe, I’m sorry if it seems callous for me to be so blunt. No, I mean it’s, if this whole thing has been very confusing and strange. . And if I’m gonna be honest, I never really felt like your feelings for me were that genuine. Okay? But that does not mean that you are not an incredibly desirable woman, Chloe.

It’s okay. You do not have to flatter me or feel guilty. Like I said, this whole thing has been very strange from the beginning. Yes, it has. I don’t know. I, I guess, Deprogramming kicked in before I passed out because as you were talking here a minute ago, I, I thought that I would at least feel something, especially after our Christmas and our New Years that we shared together.

We had a great time and I am so. For that, Chloe, but it’s okay. You can say it. You realize that you wanna be with Gabby and that you love her. Sorry, I know this all seems so sudden. Well, yeah, but uh, considering the circumstances, it’s. Surprising and I guess it’s the way that it should be. I’m happy for you.

Thank you. And hey, I hope that we can still be friends, . Yeah, right? Sure.

I can’t believe this whole thing is over. I And it’s over for you too. You can be with Brady now, right? I mean at some point. At some point maybe.

Well, like I said, you are an incredible woman and I am profoundly grateful for the moments we shared. Me too. Now go help be with Gabby, right? Right. Yes. Oh.

I want Wendy to be happy too. And you two make a great couple. Okay, we’ll stop thinking that guy. And besides, it’s not gonna be just the two of us at the apartment anyway. What do you mean? Uh, Wendy’s brother showed up at her doorstep with some bags and uh, he and Gabby want to move into her place too.

What’d you just know?

Hi. Ironic, isn’t it? Hmm. A few months ago you would’ve been gloating over Allie leaving me. Remember? May the best twin win. Yeah. Well that was when I was competing for you. Now I’m just genuinely sorry. I see you hurting. Thank you. And hey, at least things are working out for one of us. Right? My mom told me that you’re trying it again with Wendy.

Oh yeah. She told you that. Huh? She knows I care about you, g. Just like I care about you and I always will. It means a lot. And you know what? I am tired of being ob. Okay. Here is to happiness and hope and, and no more heartbreak. Yeah. Yeah. For either of us. Cheers. Cheer.

No, no, no, no. I’m not sleeping on a lumpy sofa. No, because you’re used to king size beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, right? Well, tough. I did it for weeks and now it’s your turn, and if you don’t like it, find somewhere else to crash. Fun. We’ll hold off for a place of our own. It’ll just be the two of us.

Nope. No, thank you. I’m gonna start unpacking. Yeah, and I’m gonna tell Trip that we worked everything out. So Lee, there’s a pillow and a comforter in the hall closet. How at it.

Not that Stephan doesn’t deserve this, but he hasn’t exactly been thinking straight the last few months. I mean, pining over Gabby and Chloe at the same time. He may be a hormonal mess, but his brain is working perfectly. There’s no excuse for what he’s done. Well, I’m not trying to excuse it. I’m just questioning your proposed solution.

Just a minute ago you were calling for Bloodsport. Well, When I thought it was just a family spat, but now we’re, we’re talking about poisoning. What’s the difference?

Well, for one, it’s illegal. Is it his drug? His vile? Technically he’ll be drugging him. And my hands would be clean.

Hmm hmm. I get your point. So as you say, uh, if it’s not technically illegal, then well, if you’re looking for a drinking buddy slash accomplice, I am your woman that you are.

Ooh, it’s cocktail hour and Stephan will be here any minute and then left the game. Begin . Ooh, woo. . Sorry to interrupt. Did you just say Gabby and Lee are moving? Uh, yeah. Wendy’s brother knew that she needed a roommate, and so they should have put her door with some bags, but I don’t know if it,

well, that was weird what that was all about. Oh, nothing good. I’m sure.

Uh, look, I don’t even know what the outcome of this, pardon me, situation is gonna be. I mean, maybe I should just stay home and watch over dead. Stephanie’s got that covered. No, you’re moving. Do not let Wendy’s big brother chase you off. Hey, how many times do I have to tell you that we are just friends?

All right. You have to stop. Hey, you’re just friends for. Dude, why can’t you admit that you have feelings for her? You want to be with her?

You know I was worried about you earlier. Why? Bye. Well, I called you several times and you sent me straight to voice. Oh, well I was having an intense conversation with Eric. Ah, so that’s why you seem tense even now. Okay. Come with me. Oh, come with me. Okay. Sit down.

Oh, how’s that? Mm. It feels amazing. And I thought you said I was good with my hands. Well, I certainly do know my way around a woman’s body. You sure do. But we were talking about your running with Eric. Yeah, well, he was definitely on edge. Maybe it had something to do with him and Sloane not being together anymore.

Oh, what’s. Mm. Well that was quick and he also told me that his father encouraged him to work it out with me. What,

who are you back? And you’re here, I assume you know. I do. Brady, what were you thinking? Chloe? Chloe? I was, I was, I’ll tell you what I was thinking. I was thinking that if I just got you outta Stephan’s head, then everything would be fine and life would be easier for everybody. That’s what I was thinking.

It’s often nothing anyway, because, uh, Stefan refuses to be deprogrammed by Ralph, so Hey, hey, I’m, I wanted to put him back the way he was, you know, the, the, the, the days where he just had eyes for Gabby. Remember those days? I don’t think it’s ever gonna happen now. No, you don’t have to worry about that because the procedure actually did work.

Stephan is completely over me.

There’s nothing in this kitchen, but ramen and mac and cheese need a snack. Here’s some chips. Oh.

I beg your pardon. And you’re making crumbs all over my bed. I know. Could you please not sit there and stare at me? I’m just taking in your beauty. Hell, you’re creeping me out more than usual. Fine. I think I’ll take this opportunity to go wash off the jailhouse stench. Test out the water. Yeah, mouse. Stand there as long as you want.

Maybe even six months.

Guess I’m gonna get that.

Wendy, uh, . How long have you been standing there? I just got here. I, I’m sorry. My brother was being so ridiculous earlier. We decided Lee was going to sleep on the couch and the rest of us will each take a bedroom. Your brother agreed to sleep on the couch? Don’t. Not exactly. He was kind of outvoted. Oh, well even his own wife voted against him.

Well, he and Gap have a complicated arrangement. But she wants to stay, so I see.

Don’t you think it’d just be easier to have found another place? No. I mean, assuming you still want to stay, I want you there too. Right? And it’s settled trip’s moving in with you. Let’s go to the pub to celebrate. Hey, you know Joey, last time I had drinks at the pub with Trip, it was because you called me there and.

You told her about that. That is pretty obvious. Alright, look, I’m sorry I’m not in the matchmaking business anymore. I promise Won’t happen again. Drinks on me. Well, in that case. Sure. Let’s grab a drink. You don’t need a matchmaker anymore, right? Because you’re living together. No. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm.

Well, sounds like things are going well for you and Wendy. Yeah. Yeah. We uh, we watched Evil Dead too for Valentine’s Day. Oh, how romantic. Oh, I know. Well, did you at least buy our flowers or chocolates? ? Uh, actually, uh, no. No, I did not. But look, it’s not like it’s anything serious between us right now, and it also wasn’t like we planned on it, so I don’t know.

We’re just going to, uh, yeah, we’ll see where things go. Well, I hope it goes well for you too. She’s really nice and. I, I know that I kind of rock hopeful for y’all. So, um, I’m, I’m glad you got past that. . Thank you. Oh,

Eric told you he wants you back? No, no. He said his father wanted him to want me back. I mean our, our conversation was awkward and not romantic at all. In fact, he got really annoyed when he texted me and he stomped off. Oh, I see. Well, I would say I’m sorry, but I’m not, he just wanted to ask me questions about the orchid that was stolen from the basement.

And I, quite frankly, I think that’s all he wanted to talk to me about. Um, I’m with you now. I mean, poisoning people together. I mean, if that doesn’t bring people closer right,

too, what is it? Are you sure this is what you want? What I want. I mean, I thought we agreed. I’m not talking about poisoning, Stephan. I’m talking about our relationship.

Look, Nicole, what’s happened between us feels good and it feels right, at least from my perspective. But if there is any chance for you and Eric, I don’t wanna stand in the way of that. I don’t want you to be in something that you don’t want to be in.

I appreciate you saying that. I do, but my perspective is the same as yours. This feels good. And right. Are you sure? Yes, I am sure. Eric and I are so done, and this is exactly where I wanna be.

What do you, what do you, what do you mean it worked? I mean, Stephan has been completely deprogrammed, but we didn’t, we didn’t finish the, the procedure. We, we, well, whatever it is that you did, it worked. He came to see me earlier and um, some light bulb went off in his head and he went on and on about how he loves Gabby and wants to be with.

and that he has no romantic feelings for me. Not at all.

This is great. This, this, this. Hey, this is, this is amazing, right?

You don’t, you don’t, you don’t look happy. Look, I know. Hey, clo. I know you developed feelings or, or whatever for him, it’s, I mean, it’s, it’s okay. It’s, it’s okay. Yeah, I did, I guess I’m kind of relieved, you know, I’m completely through with Stephan now and it’s a good thing he can move on with Gabby, Chloe, we can move on as well.

Brady, when it comes to us, it’s not that simple.

Stephen, why are you here? I’m here to see you. I, I ran into Trip Johnson. He said I could find you here. Oh wow. Good news travels fast. Unfortunately, I’m busy. Gabby, I need, I need to talk to you, please. Okay. Good job. You finally got my name right? Okay. I am sorry. For Valentine’s Day, I acted like a complete ass and it will never happen again.

I don’t need any more apologies from you, Stephen. I didn’t come here just to apologize to you, Gavin. I don’t care. No, please. Just listen to me please. Wolf got outta jail and he finished You programming me. What? Yes. My feelings were Chloe Gabby. They’re gone. Completely gone. And you told me to call you when that happened and when I knew that I loved you and only you and I.

You look at me. Are the love of my life the only one that I want?

Aren’t you gonna say something?

Kind of at a loss for words. Okay, I can understand that. But come on, we can be happy about this, Gabby. We can finally be together. Okay. And there’s nothing stopping us. Come on.

What the hell? Put your hands off my wife.

Hi. Hey. Hey. What’s up guys? Hey, what’s up man? For not interrupting anything? No, no, not at all. Um, Chanel here was just telling me that, uh, uh, Allie moved. New Zealand. This, this is, that’s not what it looks like. No, I know you guys are just friends. Same as me and Trevor. Great.

You sitting here having drinks with Chanel doesn’t mean anything more than trip. Moving in with me.

Oh, Chloe, I am. I know, I know. I hurt you when I lied to you about Kristen. Okay. I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t have a choice, and I know you needed time to process your feelings. Okay. My God, what we have, what we had, what we’ve always had. It’s amazing. It’s, it’s,

can you honestly look me in the eyes and tell me that you don’t love me anymore?

No, I can’t, can’t do that because I am in love with you. But Brady, you, you kidnap a man to make him forget his feelings for me. And you didn’t talk to me about it. You didn’t talk to him about it. Oh, it was a little desperate. Okay. Well, but I did look at where your desperation got you. Did you even think about what happens next?

I admit I had a little bit of tunnel vision. Okay. That’s just because I saw us at the end of the tunnel, us together again, happy together again. It’s not that simple. You, you, babe. You just looked me in the eye and told me that you still love me and I am in love with. But your daughter, she despises me.

She blames me for your breakup with her mother. We will handle that together. My daughter, my daughter is going to get older and she will understand why I did what I had to do. And she will understand that you are a wonderful, beautiful person. She will get it. Is she going to understand that you went to prison for kidnapping a man and endangering his life?

Another drink.

Don’t mind if I do

here. My brother is going to miss cocktail hour. What? What more for us? He’s gotta come home sometime. Right? We’ll get it next time. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Okay. I know Tripp said that you would be here too, but I also know that Gabby has asked for a divorce. You’re behind the times. My wife has agreed to move in with me. What? Okay, Gabby. I know I screwed up. But I am back to my own self now. I love you. You don’t have to stay with this guy. This guy is her husband, and in fact she does.

She signed a contract committing to remain in the marriage and cohabit just for six months. Okay? I don’t understand why. Why would you agree to that? That’s none of your business. I was asking her a towel. I don’t understand. Gabby, why would you place their contract? What the hell is going on here? Step I.

If you’ll excuse us. My wife and I need some time to Chris in our new home. Goodbye step.

Hmm.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Nicole runs in to Eric in the park and says it’s funny running in to him of all people because she’s been thinking about him. Nicole reminds Eric that they met on this day 25 years ago. Eric confirms that he remembered and admits he’s been thinking about her too, a lot.

Tripp goes to see Wendy and thanks her for coming to Kayla’s funeral. Wendy says she wanted to say something to him that day but he was with his family and she didn’t want to intrude. Tripp calls it a really bad day. Wendy asks how he’s doing. Tripp says he’s just kind of going through the motions. Tripp adds that Steve is in complete denial. Wendy comments that she can’t imagine what it must feel like to lose the love of your life after all those years together. Wendy offers Tripp a drink but Tripp says he actually came to see how she’s doing because he saw Li got arrested again last night.

Rafe enters the interrogation room and says he sees Li survived his first night in a jail cell. Li questions if he really has to be handcuffed to the chair when jailbreak is not his style. Rafe remarks that his style seems to be doing whatever it takes to get what he wants so the handcuffs stay. Li tells Rafe that he did what he did because he loves Gabi so much. Li sincerely believes that he’s better for Gabi than Stefan ever was. Rafe argues that Li never gave a damn that Gabi thought otherwise. Li mentions that he and Gabi have had some good conversations lately and he thinks she’s going to forgive him. Rafe laughs that off and assures there is no grudge that Gabi won’t hold on to. Rafe adds that Melinda Trask is exactly the same, so she’s going to drum up every charge she can against him including the attempted murder of Stefan DiMera. Li argues that she still has to make those charges stick in court. Rafe informs him that Melinda is pretty confident after Dr. Rolf rolled on him big time by saying that everything he did was because of either Li or Kristen. Li questions what Rafe is doing here. Rafe responds that Li is his brother in law now, so he’s going to give him the opportunity to get this over with quickly. Rafe tells Li that he can save himself a lot of money if he pleads guilty.

Gabi runs in to Chloe in the town square. Gabi notices Chloe’s bag and asks if she’s going on a trip. Chloe informs her that she actually just came back.

Stefan remains tied to the bed in Eric’s room as the projector in front of him displays a slideshow of photos of Chloe. Brady joins Dr. Rolf in the room. Dr. Rolf tells Brady that he cannot continue without the proper nourishment and demands his chowder. Brady says he’s tired of doing Dr. Rolf’s errands so he’s going to have to finish on an empty stomach. Dr. Rolf decides that as soon as the equipment is ready, they will start again.

Chloe tells Gabi that she couldn’t take all the craziness here, so she visited her son at boarding school. Chloe adds that she hasn’t heard a word from Stefan except for one call on Valentine’s Day. Gabi informs her that she got that call too and went for dinner. Chloe asks if that means they are back together. Gabi admits that she thought they were and they were heading upstairs to make love for the first time since he had been shot, but then he called her by Chloe’s name. Gabi adds that she walked out and hasn’t seen or heard from Stefan since but he still believes he’s madly in love with both of them.

Li tells Rafe that he doesn’t care what Dr. Rolf says because he’s a psychopathic liar. Rafe warns that he’s pretty sure Kristen can back up Rolf’s statement. Li says he has to find her first. Rafe points out that Kristen always comes back and then they will prove that Li is the one who paid Dr. Rolf, held Stefan against his will, and tortured him to make him believe he no longer loved Gabi and that he was programmed to believe he was in love with Chloe. Li points out that was all Kristen’s idea. Rafe notes that it was Li’s idea to pull the plug on the machines that were keeping Stefan alive and if Kristen hadn’t have walked in, Stefan might be dead right now. Rafe says he can have that all typed up and all Li has to do is sign it. Sloan then walks in and declares Li is not signing anything because this interrogation is over.

Brady warns Dr. Rolf that Stefan is waking up and questions what they are doing here. Dr. Rolf brings up not wanting another visit from Roman. Brady tells him that he won’t have to worry about that because Eric said Roman believed the lights flickering was a message from Kate. Dr. Rolf laughs that off as Roman being in love but says he’s afraid that Kate is dead and no one can bring her back, other than himself.

Nicole tells Eric that she was having breakfast with Abe and Paulina and it just hit her that today was the day they met. Eric asks what made her put it together. Nicole says she was talking about her complicated relationship with Kate which made her think about her complicated relationship with him. Eric says he was telling Roman about the first time he laid eyes on Nicole in February on a cold day like today and it just kind of hit him. Nicole questions why he was talking to Roman about her when Roman has never been her biggest fan. Eric informs her that it’s all changed and that Roman actually said he was rooting for them to get back together. Nicole questions why Roman would be rooting for them and asks if he doesn’t know Eric has a girlfriend. Eric questions since when he has a girlfriend. Nicole brings up Sloan, but Eric assures that she is not his girlfriend. Nicole brings up them being together on Valentine’s Day. Eric responds that they both know from experience that relationships can turn on a dime and this one did. Eric reveals that he and Sloan are no longer seeing each other.

Sloan asks Rafe to leave. Li tells her that it’s about time since he had to spend the night in jail and spend the last half hour with Rafe. Sloan says she did everything she could to get him arraigned but night court had already adjourned. Sloan adds that she found a way to make it up to him. Sloan asks Rafe to take the handcuffs off of Li because she’s demanding that he be released in to her custody.

Wendy tells Tripp that Li was feeling like things might work out for him and then two cops showed up and arrested him because Dr. Rolf told them that Li forced him to brainwash Stefan. Tripp remarks that Dr. Rolf only looks out for himself. Wendy comments that Li used to be the smartest and shrewdest guy she knows, but then he got obsessed with Gabi who is like his kryptonite. Wendy says Li would do anything to get Gabi back and thinks he still has a chance with her. Wendy adds that Gabi keeps going on about how much she loves Stefan, but she’s not a woman who will wait for long for a man to make up his mind and she thinks Li is banking on that.

Gabi tells Chloe that she told Li that she’s had it with Stefan. Gabi says when a man calls her by another name, that’s it. Gabi then declares that if Chloe came back because she wants Stefan, he’s all hers.

Stefan threatens to yell until somebody hears him if Brady and Dr. Rolf don’t let him go. Brady says he can’t let him do that. Stefan tries to get Brady to listen to reason, arguing that it’s been 24 hours and nothing has changed. Stefan knows he still loves Chloe and Gabi and he doesn’t like it but that’s the way it is. Brady tells him that they are not done yet while Stefan says he can’t let him do this to him anymore. Brady says he loves Chloe and he knows that Gabi is the woman that Stefan loves but everything is screwed up, so he’s trying to fix it and do him a favor. Stefan argues that Brady isn’t doing this for anyone but himself. Stefan adds that what Kristen did to Brady has nothing to do with him. Brady points out that Chloe knows why he did what he did now. Stefan points out that Chloe still won’t take him back and asks what that tells him. Stefan argues that Brady trying to fix it so that he doesn’t want Chloe anymore makes him no better than Li, as he wants Chloe back and doesn’t care who he has to step on or hurt to make that happen. Brady threatens to put the gag on him. Stefan warns him about what a serious crime kidnapping is and says when he gets out, he will see to it that Eric and Brady go to prison for a very long time. Brady goes to gag Stefan but Stefan says this is not Brady and questions if this is really how he wants to get Chloe back. Stefan asks what he thinks Chloe would do if she found out what Brady was doing to him.

Nicole remarks that it looked like Sloan staked a claim on Eric. Nicole then asks what Sloan did to make Eric stop seeing her. Eric responds that he was trying to help Brady. Nicole asks what that has to do with Sloan. Eric states that he betrayed her trust while trying to help Brady get Chloe back, so she wants nothing to do with him. Eric adds that he and Sloan weren’t serious. Nicole comments that Eric is available then while Eric points out that she is not.

Wendy comments to Tripp that it’s like a virus going around making you love two different people, noting Stefan with Chloe and Gabi, and how for awhile there was Allie, Chanel, and Alex. Wendy says that Allie solved that by ditching both of them and mentions her moving to New Zealand. Tripp says that Allie stopped by on her way to the airport to let him say goodbye to Henry. Wendy adds that Chanel moved back in with her mom. Tripp asks who else Wendy knows that is in love with two different people. Wendy guesses she overstated it. Tripp asks about the apartment. Wendy says she can’t afford it by herself, so she would need roommates but she doesn’t know that many people. Tripp then asks what if he moves in.

Stefan demands an answer from Brady as to what he thinks Chloe would do if she knew what he was doing. Brady orders Dr. Rolf to continue the procedure as Stefan complains and pleads with them but they wrap around Stefan’s head and begin shocking him.

Chloe asks if Gabi has really given up on Stefan. Gabi responds that she’s going to remain with Li. Chloe questions getting back together with Li after what he did. Gabi states that he made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. Chloe says it must have been some offer. Gabi confirms that Li signed over his entire block of shares in DiMera Enterprises. Chloe says there must have been conditions. Gabi admits that she had to stay married to him and live with him for another six months. Chloe says that can’t be easy. Gabi adds that it’s not happening since Li got arrested so the only person he’ll be living with is his cellmate in prison.

Rafe tells Sloan that Dr. Rolf sang like he was on Broadway and it seems that Li disconnected Stefan from the equipment that was keeping alive but someone came in and saved him, so Li had Rolf do a little mind control instead. Sloan claims that Dr. Rolf is lying to save himself. Rafe says he’s sure he can get Kristen to testify under the right circumstances. Sloan says when Rafe finds Kristen, he can give her a call but until then she needs him to release Li. Rafe tells her that she’s going to need to find a judge to do that and he doesn’t think Melinda will go along with it. Sloan asks about when she tells the judge that Eric got Dr. Rolf to sign the statement by lying to him or claiming that he worked for her when he did not. Rafe says he’d rather take his chances in court to make any kind of deal with Sloan. Sloan remarks that she doesn’t think Melinda is as optimistic as he makes her out to be. Sloan reveals she just came from Melinda’s office and she is pretty upset with Rafe and Jada. Rafe gets a text which Sloan guesses is telling Rafe to release Li right now. Rafe then reluctantly removes the handcuffs from Li. Rafe warns Li that he will just get Dr. Rolf to sign a new statement so he shouldn’t get too comfortable or think about taking off. Li asks why he would do that when his wife is here. Li then exits with Sloan.

Brady and Dr. Rolf continue the procedure on Stefan until he passes out. Dr. Rolf orders Brady to turn it off, warning that he doesn’t know what he might be doing to him. Brady stops and Dr. Rolf checks on Stefan. Dr. Rolf then declares that Brady has killed Stefan. Brady argues that Dr. Rolf said he could make this work. Dr. Rolf says it did work and he was on his way to erasing his feelings for Chloe but it wasn’t happening fast enough for Brady. Brady checks on Stefan and feels no pulse. Brady sends Dr. Rolf to go get a first aid kit. Brady tells Stefan not to die on him and tries giving him CPR. Stefan then wakes up and screams, remarking that he didn’t think Brady cared. Brady says he didn’t want murder on his rap sheet. Rafe arrives and knocks on the door. Stefan tries to scream but Brady covers his mouth.

Gabi tells Chloe that she knows Rafe will make Li pay for what he did to her and Stefan. Chloe argues that revenge is great but doesn’t keep her warm at night. Gabi says she has his shares to keep her warm. Gabi claims she doesn’t want a man right now. Gabi adds that she knows how Stefan feels about her and she isn’t above using that to influence his vote. Gabi assures that she will get what’s coming to her. Gabi notes that she’s had her heart broken before and let it throw her off balance which ended up screwing her over in the business world. Gabi insists that she’s calling the shots and she knew how much trouble Li would get in which is why she agreed to the six months. Gabi feels she won’t be seeing Li for quite some time except maybe in the prison visiting room. Li then arrives and says he hates to say she’s mistaken. Gabi is shocked to see that he’s out. Li announces that he’s been released without a single charge.

Wendy thought Tripp and Joey were going back to Seattle now that the funeral is over. Tripp says that Joey is going back but he’s going to stay here since Steve isn’t doing well and the doctors say Ava is still hearing voices. Wendy says she’s so sorry. Tripp admits it’s really sad but since he is all Ava has, he doesn’t want to be too far. Tripp adds that he also just got a position at the hospital. Tripp says he was going to live with Steve, but he kind of wants his own place if she needs help with the rent. Wendy admits she can’t even afford to split the rent, so there would need to be a third person. Tripp says one roommate is better than none but then asks if this is about Johnny since she decided to give him another shot. Wendy says they went out on one date and it went pretty well, but they aren’t ready to move in together. Tripp says that means she still needs two roommates, so he’s offering to be one of them unless she thinks Johnny would hate the idea. Wendy asks why he would since Johnny knows they are just friends. Wendy doesn’t think Johnny would like to see her out on the street, so she agrees to let Tripp move in.

Nicole tells Eric that available is a strange word to describe someone, but supposes it’s not as bad as “on the market”. Eric assumes that she is not available since he did see her with EJ on Valentine’s Day and it seems they are very tight. Nicole confirms that they are seeing where it goes and guesses that means she’s not available. Eric tells Nicole that it was nice bumping in to her and goes to leave but Nicole stops him and questions why he told her that Roman was rooting for them. Eric says there was no reason and he just found it interesting that Roman had a change of heart. Nicole asks if Eric has had a change of heart. Eric says he hasn’t done much thinking about what’s in his heart, but he wants it to stop hurting. Eric decides he first needs to make peace with losing his mom. Eric says Roman keeps talking about how much he misses Kate as it was their only opportunity to be together. Nicole wonders if that’s what made him say he’s rooting for them. Nicole’s phone rings so Eric asks if she’s going to answer because it might be important. Nicole states that this is important. Nicole then asks Eric if he has any regrets. Eric says she knows that he does. Nicole gets a text so Eric assumes it’s EJ. Nicole checks and confirms that EJ says he needs to see her right away, so it could be about Holly. Eric remarks that Nicole and Holly live with EJ now like one big happy family.

Chloe tells Gabi and Li that she will go get settled in and let them hash this out. Chloe heads on to the Salem Inn. Gabi questions what happened and how Li got out this time. Li guesses it’s too much to ask for her to be happy for him. Li informs Gabi that his ordeal is over now, so now he has his freedom, she has his DiMera shares, and they made a deal.

Rafe bangs on the door, asking for Eric to open up as it’s police business. Brady keeps his hand over Stefan’s mouth. Dr. Rolf hides around the corner as Rafe shouts that they need to have a conversation about Rolf. Stefan bites Brady’s hand and screams for Rafe’s help. Brady tries to shout back that there’s nothing going on but Rafe kicks the door open. Rafe then questions what the hell Brady is doing.

Nicole doesn’t want to leave things like this. Eric says she has no choice because EJ said it was important. Nicole then goes to leave but Eric stops to ask her one more question. Eric brings up Orpheus saying that a DiMera stole the Orchid that could have saved Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Eric wonders if Nicole heard anything about it since she lives in the mansion. Nicole assures that she would’ve told him if she did. Eric knows it was a long shot. Eric tells Nicole that he will see her around and walks away.

Tripp cooks lunch for he and Wendy. Wendy is surprised and thinks having Tripp as a roommate is going to be awesome.

Li tells Gabi that they are about to spend their first night together. Gabi threatens to put him in the hospital if he touches her during their six months together. Li jokes about what a romantic she is. Gabi remarks that she liked him better in jail and she can’t believe he got away with what he did to Stefan. Gabi starts to walk away and says she’s going home but Li reminds her that her home is where ever he is for the next six months. Gabi reminds Li that he gave up his room at the Salem Inn. Li thinks that he has the perfect place for them.

Rafe unties Stefan from the bed and helps him up. Rafe questions what is going on here. Stefan explains that Brady kidnapped him and demanded Dr. Rolf fry his brain again, along with Eric. Dr.Rolf listens from outside the door as Rafe asks where Rolf is now. Rolf then sneaks away. Brady says he’s not saying a word without his lawyer. Stefan says he was just there a minute ago. Rafe wants to get Stefan to the ER but Stefan says no hospitals after he was just tied to a bed for 24 hours ago. Rafe insists but Stefan doesn’t give a damn what he thinks and storms out. Rafe then stops Brady and says he’s not going anywhere.

Dr. Rolf exits the Brady Pub and runs in to Sloan, who asks if he’s going somewhere. Dr. Rolf says he has nothing to say to her. Sloan says she’s trying to help him and reminds him that the cops are looking for him to sign a new statement. Dr. Rolf says maybe that’s the best option but Sloan has another idea. Sloan brings up how important Dr. Rolf’s work is to him and says Li can set him up with a new lab where all his needs will be met and no disturbances. Dr. Rolf doesn’t trust Li or Sloan. Dr. Rolf adds that Brady is in no position to help anyone. Dr. Rolf then suggests he should accept Sloan’s offer and tells her to lead the way as they walk off together.

Eric comes home to find Rafe handcuffing Brady. Eric questions what happened. Rafe responds that he just arrested Brady for kidnapping and Eric is next.

Chloe begins unpacking in her room at the Salem Inn when Stefan shows up at her door.

Wendy tells Tripp that Allie and Chanel only had takeout so she was living off ramen and mac and cheese. Tripp jokes that when they find a third roommate, they’ll have steak every night. There’s a knock at the door so Wendy assumes it’s the movers for Allie’s stuff but it’s Gabi and Li. Wendy is surprised to see Li is out of jail. Wendy invites him in to tell them what happened. Li suggests they have dinner together here as he announces that he and Gabi are moving in.

He said he was talking to his father. He said his father was rooting for them to get back together. She was shocked because of Sloan. He told her he wasn’t seeing Sloan anymore because he betrayed her trust. She asked if he was available. He said he was, but she wasn’t. She asked why Roman was rooting for them. Eric said he was surprised that he changed his mind. She asked if he changed his mind too. He said he hasn’t thought about what was in his heart. He said he wanted it to stop hurting. He wanted to make peace with his mother. He told her that Roman regretted not having more time with Kate. Someone called her but didn’t answer the phone. She asked if he had any regrets. He said she knew he did. She got an urgent message from EJ. She thought it might be about Holly. Eric said they were one big happy family. When she was about to leave, he asked her if she heard about the orchid. She said she would have told him if she did. He said it was a long shot and left. In the investigation room, Li told Rafe he did everything he did because he loved Gabi. He said he was sure Gabi would forgive him. Rafe said there was no grudge too small his sister wouldn’t hold on to. He said Trask felt the same way. He said after Li got off the first charge, she would make sure these charges stuck especially since Rolf turned on him. He gave Li a paper and pen for his confession.

Sloan came in the investigation room and said Li wasn’t signing anything. She said she wanted him released in her custody. Rafe denied her demand. He ended up getting a text. She thought it was from Trask. She said she just came from seeing Trask. She said Trask was furious at him and Jada for allowing Eric to lie his way into releasing Rolf. Rafe told Li that he would get Rolf to sign another statement so he shouldn’t leave town. Gabi ran into Chloe. Chloe told her she hasn’t heard from Stefan. Gabi told her Stefan called her Chloe. She said if Chloe wanted him, he was hers. She said she was going back to Li for his stocks. She said she agreed to it because she knew Rafe would lock him up. Li showed up. When Chloe left, Li told Gabi that he was out of prison for good. He reminded her they made a deal so they will be living together. She said he gave up his room at the Salem Inn. He said he knew the perfect place for him. Brady told Rolf that he had to get back to deprogramming Stefan. Rolf said if he amped up his contraption, half of Salem would go dark. He said he didn’t want to see Roman again. Brady said Roman thought the lights were a message from Kate. Rolf said no one could bring her back except for him. Stefan told Brady to stop what he was doing. Stefan said Brady was like Li. Brady said no one would stop him from his mission. Rolf put the tongs on Stefan’s head. Brady pressed the ice cream scooper to send the volts to Stefan’s head. Stefan’s body shook as he looked at the pictures of Chloe on the wall. Stefan passed out. He told Brady to turn off the contraption. Rolf checked for Stefan’s heartbeat. He said Brady killed him. When Brady checked, he didn’t find a pulse. He made Rolf leave. Brady performed CPR on him. When Brady was about to put his mouth on him, he screamed. Rafe knocked on the door. Rolf said he wanted to talk to Eric about Rolf. Stefan yelled out to Rafe. Rafe kicked in the door. Rafe freed Stefan. Stefan told him what Brady, Eric and Rolf did. Stefan ran from the room. Rafe arrested Brady. Eric showed up. Rafe said he was next.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Roman talked to Eric about hearing Kate’s voice coming from the urn. Eric was skeptical about that. Roman reminded him how he had to perform exorcisms in the past. He let Eric know that a DiMera has the orchid. Roman wondered if could find out from Nicole what happened to the orchid. Eric let him know that they aren’t speaking to each other. Roman told him that it wasn’t just a bad breakup. They were in each other’s lives for years. Eric reminded him that they knew each other for 25 years. Eric talked to Roman about his run in with Nicole on Valentine’s Day. Roman thought it was a sign for them that what they have won’t go away. Eric told him their relationship never works. Roman wanted him to try again. While they were talking, Brady sent Eric a message. Eric had to leave. Paulina told Abe about Steve and John going to see Orpheus. She assured him that they didn’t kill Orpheus. She told him that Roman informed her that a DiMera has the orchid. Nicole ran into them and they started talking. Nicole managed to bring up her relationship with Eric. She recapped what happened during their 25 years together. Nicole walked off and went to the park and ran into Eric.

John and Steve talked to Tony and Anna about Stefano keeping Megan alive in a cryogenic state until she could be healed. He also told them how Megan brainwashed them last summer so she could steal the prism. He said that she was out there somewhere with all three prisms. Steve told Tony that they didn’t tell him about it because the ISA told them they couldn’t say anything because it was an ongoing investigation. He said they weren’t going to keep quiet anymore because she probably took the orchid. He said she would pay if she did take the orchid and kill their wives. John wondered if Tony remembered anything that could help them find Megan. Tony didn’t know Megan was his sister until after she died. Anna said that Stefano kept a box of her things. Tony went to look for the box. John wanted to call Andrew Donovan because he’s heading up the investigation for the ISA. Megan arrived in the lab as Marlena, Kayla and Kate woke up. Megan injected them with something. Marlena told Megan that the last thing he remembered was being on the roof with John. Megan told her that she put something in her IV to make her appear like she died. She said she switched Marlena’s body with a lookalike. Megan explained how she faked Marlena, Kayla and Kate’s deaths. She wanted to avenge Stefano. Kate was confused so Kayla filled her in about Megan. Megan gave them another injection. She said they would need their rest for the next part of her plan. Anna said that Megan wanted the prisms to bring someone back. She wondered if she was bringing Stefano back. She thought Megan might have already brought him back to life. Tony dismissed her theory. Anna wanted to know who she would bring back if it weren’t Stefano. John and Steve met with Roman and told him that Megan might be the DiMera who took the orchid. Megan started caressing a hazy chamber.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Nicole: It’s, it’s funny running into you of, of all people.

Eric: Yeah. What’s funny?

Nicole: Well, um, I’ve, I’ve been thinking about you. I don’t know if you remember, but on this day, we met 25 years ago.

Eric: I remember.  I’ve been thinking about you too. A lot.


Wendy: So good to see you. I’ve been wondering how you guy,

Tripp: Um, thank you for coming to Kayla’s funeral. It meant a lot to me.

Wendy: Yeah. I wanted to say something to you that day, but you were with your family. I didn’t wanna intrude.

Yeah, that was. Really, uh, really bad day,

I’m sure. How are you doing?

I’m okay. I’m just kind of going through the motions.

Sure.

My dad, he’s in complete denial.

I can’t imagine what I was feeling to lose the love of your life after all those years.

Would you like some coffee or something stronger?

Actually, I came here to see how you were doing.

I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be

Your brother? I just saw that he got arrested again last night.


Ah. You survived your first night in the jail,

sir. I don’t really have to be handcuffed with this chair. Jail breaks aren’t my style.

Well, your style seems to be doing whatever it takes to get what you want. So the cuffs stay

talking about Gabi.

Hey, you got it in one.

You’re gonna hate what I’m about to say, but it’s true. I did what I did because I love her so much.

You’re right. I hate it.

I sincerely believe I’m better for her than Stepha DiMera ever was.

And you never gave a damn that she thought differently.

Gabi and I have been having some good conversations recently, actually. She’s gonna forgive me. .

You’re kidding yourself, man.  I’ve known Gabi her whole life. There is no grudge too small that she won’t hold onto. And Melinda Trask, she’s exactly the. When you skated outta here, I made her angry. So she’s gonna drum up every charge she can against you, including the attempted murder of Stefan DiMera.

She still to make those charges stick in court?

Hell yeah. Well, she’s pretty confident she can, you know Dr. Rolf boy. Well, he rolled on you big time. He said everything that he did was either because of you or Kristen.

What are you doing?

Well, the thing is, you’re my brother-in-law now, so I’m gonna give you the opportunity to get this over with quickly.  You can save yourself and a taxpayer a lot of money.

You want me to plead guilty?

You must be a mind reader.


Oh, hey.

Whoa. You really shouldn’t be looking at your phone while you’re walking,

going on a trip. What another romantic getaway with Stefan?

I am not going anywhere. Actually, I just came back.


You’ve returned empty handed. I thought my instructions were clear. I cannot continue this project with such proper nourishment.

Relax, I got you chowder. It’s in the hall.

To deny a genius is to delay the path to progress. Now give me my lunch.

I’m sorry. You’re gonna have to finish this on an empty stomach because I’m tired of doing your little errands for you.

Rolf,

did you get the oyster crackers?

Three bags.

All right. As soon as the equipment is ready, we will start again.


I couldn’t take all the craziness here, so I decided to visit my son at boarding. And just so you know, I haven’t heard a word from Stefan except for One Call on Valentine’s Day

got the same call. He invited both of us to dinner. I went,

oh, so are you two back together?

I thought we were, we were headed upstairs to make love for the first time since he’d been shot.  And then he called me by your name.

Ouch.

I walked out in heaven, seemed or heard from him since the Jack has still believes he’s madly in love with both of us.


I don’t care what his psychopathic liar.

Well, I’m pretty sure that Kristen can be persuaded to corroborate his statement.

We have to find her first.

No, she’ll come back. She always does. And then we’ll prove that you’re the one who paid Rolf, held Stefan against his will and tortured him to make him believe that he no longer loved Gabi. And we also know, we also know that you program Stefan to, uh, believe that he was in love with Chloe Lane.

That was all Kristen’s idea.

Mm. Well, you know, it was your idea unplugging the machines that were keeping Stefan alive, and if Kristen hadn’t walked in, well, you’d be dead right now. I can have that all typed up.  All you have to do is sign it.

He’s not signing anything cuz this little interrogation is over.


He, he’s waking up. Are you gonna sit there on your ass? What are we doing here?

You see that buffer line over there? It must cool another 16 degrees, or we runs a risk of sending the entire west side of Salem. It a blackout. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a visit from ex Commissioner Grady.

You don’t have to worry about Roman.  Eric says he thinks the flickering lights are a message from Kate

It’s the fantasies of a man in love, but I’m afraid Kate Roberts Brady’s that is in worldview and no one can bring her back there. No one others are myself.


Well, I was having breakfast with a Abe and Paulina, and it’s just hit me that today was the.

What made you put it together?

Well, I was talking about my complicated relationship with Kate ,

and it made you think about your complicated relationship with me. I guess

I was telling my dad the first time I laid eyes on you.  It was in February. It was a cold day like it is today. Just, I dunno, it kind of hit me.

Wait, why were you talking about me to your dad? Roman is, is never been my biggest fan.

Well, that’s all changed.

Really.

Really. He actually said he was rooting for us to get back.

So why would your father be rooting for us? Know you have a girlfriend?

Well, what, since when do I have a girlfriend?

Uh, Sloan Peterson. You know the girl that always has her tongue in your ear every time I see you.

Sloan is not my girlfriend.

Oh, so that lovely display at the restaurant on Valentine’s Day is what you two just being pals.

You and I both know from experience that relationships can turn on a dime that one did.

Sloan and I are no longer seeing.


Did you not hear me? I asked you to leave.

Oh, I heard you.

It’s about time you got here.

Spend last night in a settlement dealing with him for the last half hour. Look, I tried my best to get you Arain, but night court had already adjourned. But don’t worry, I found a way to make it up to you.

Well look, as long as you’re here, please just make yourself useful.

Take the cuffs off.

And why would I do that?

Because I demand that Mr. Shin be released into my custody.


Lee was feeling like things might work out for him, and then two cops showed up and arrested him.

Do you know why?

Oh, apparently Dr. Rolf told them that Lee forced him to brainwash Stefan Damara.

He should have known. Rolf only looks after for himself. You know, Li used to be the shortest, smartest guy I know.  But then he got obsessed with Gabi Hernandez and I swear she’s like his group tonight. He’d do anything to get her back and he thinks he still has a chance with her. After what he did to Stefan. Gabi keeps going on about how much she loves Stefan, but from what I’ve seen of her, she’s not a womanll who’ll wait for a man who can’t make up his mind. Not for long anyway,

I think Lee’s banking on that.


I told Stefan I’ve had it with him.

Did you meet it?

Hell yes.

But you keep saying how much you love him.

Look, I can get over that, but when a man calls you by another woman’s name, I mean, that’s it for me.

So if you came back because you still want him, Stefan’s all yours,


you too lunatics. Don’t untie me and let me go now. I am going to yell until somebody downstairs hears me.

No, no, no, no. Actually, I can’t, can’t let you do that. Okay.

Uh uh, uh mm-hmm. .

Okay. Okay. Okay. No yelling. Brady. You gotta listen to reason here, man. We’ve been at this for what? Oh, 24 hours now. Huh?

Nothing’s changed. I know. I still love Chloe. I still love Gabi. Now, I don’t like it anymore than you do, bud. It’s the way it is, man.

We’re not done yet. We’re not done yet.

I can’t let you do this to me anymore.

You know what I, I. Love Chloe. Chloe’s the only woman that I love. Okay? I know Gabi’s the only woman that you love, okay?  Because of this guy planning these ideas into your head, everything’s screwed up. I’m trying to fix it. I’m trying to do you a favor. You hanging there.

You’re not doing this for anybody but yourself. Chloe left you because Kristen suckered you, and that has nothing to do with me, Stefan.

Chloe. Why I had to do what I did.

And she still won’t take you back. Brady, what does that say? Huh? What does that tell you? So what, instead you’re trying to fix it so that I don’t want her anymore. You, you know better than shin. You’re not, you want Chloe back. You don’t care who you have to step, step on or who you have to hurt in order to make that happen.

You’re begging me to stuff this gag in your face, you know that.

Have you forgotten what a serious crime kidnapping is like? I’m gonna get outta here, and when I do, I’m going to see too that you and Eric go to prison for a very long time. No, no, no. Brady, this isn’t who you are. This isn’t who you are. This is not you.

Huh? Just really how you wanna get Chloe back. Look at her. Look at her. What do you think Chloe would do if she found out what you were doing to me? Supposedly in the name of love? Huh? You think you should be okay?  Look like she staked claim on you.


Okay, so what did she do to make you stop seeing her?

It was something I did.

Really,

I was trying to help Brady.

Well, good for you. But what does that have to do with Sloane?

I betrayed her. I betrayed her trust. Trying to help Brady get Chloe back.

So you were trying to help Brady. Good on you.

Yeah. Little Sloan in things soon. And she wants nothing to do with.

I see.

Well, Sloan and I weren’t serious. We were just one of those things.

Yeah. So. You’re available

and you are


kind of feels to me like Salem’s been hit by a virus. One that makes you think you’re in love with two different people.

What makes you say.

Well, there’s Stefan, Chloe, and Gabi, and for a while there was Allie, Chanel and Alex. She solved that by ditching both of them. She left those boxes there. They’re gonna go into storage.  She’s on her way to New Zealand.

I know, I know. Yeah. She stopped buying her way to the airport. Uh, let me say goodbye to Henry, and Janelle decided to move back in with her. So, who else do you know that thinks they’re in love with two different people?

I probably overstated it.

So this place is just empty except for you.

I’m thinking about taking over the lease. Uh, I can’t afford a three bedroom by myself, so I’d need to find roommates and I don’t know that many people.

You know me. What if I move in?


Answer me. What do you think Chloe would do if she knew what you were doing?

That thing has to be cooled off by now, right?

Ah, yes. But I have a few last minute adjustments to the

No, just do it.

No, no. Come on. You can’t use that thing on me again. You, you made it from a bunch of crappy found in the Brady kitchen. I mean, really? Why don’t you try more iced tea this time? Huh? Maybe there wasn’t enough waffle batter in the waffle iron, huh?  Maybe some melon. We’ll do the trick next. No, come on. Come on. No, no. Please don’t. Please, please, please.


So you’ve really given up on Stefan and I’ve decided to stay with. You’re getting back together with him after what he did?

Hey, made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Must have been some offer.

It was, he signed over his entire block of shares in DER Enterprises.

Wow. Well, a guy like Lee, there must have been conditions there.

Were just stay married to the creep for another six months. We have live into the same roof.

Mm. That can’t be easy.

Yeah, it’s not happening.

Oh, so you found a loophole?

No. No. The police found he was rearrested last night. The only person he’s gonna be sharing quarters with is his roommate at Statesville.


As I was just telling you, client will Elm Rolf sang like he was on a Broadway stage.

Seems Lee here disconnected. Stefan from the equip. That was keeping him alive? Well, luckily someone came in and saved him before he died, so, uh, he had Rolf do a little mind control instead. Pro Rolf’s lying to save his own skin.

Hmm. The person that walked in and saved her brother’s life was Kristen Damira. And I’m sure that I can get her to testify under the right circumstances.

Great. Well, when you find her, you give me that call now, come process my client out of this place, .

You know, you’re gonna need to find a judge to do that.

And uh, I don’t think the DA’s gonna go along with it even after I tell the judge that Eric Brady got, Dr. Roth signed that confession by. Ruti pretended to work for me when he most decidedly did not I.

Well, I’d still rather take my chances in court than make any kind of deal with you.

Well, it might interest you to know that the DA is not as optimistic as you make her out to be.

Is that right?

That’s probably Trask. I actually just came from her office and she is pretty upset with you and Detective Hunter. My guess is that, um, that text says something like, you need to release Mr. Shin right now.

I’m just gonna get Rolf to sign a new statement. So don’t get too comfortable out there and don’t think about taking off.

Why would I do that? My wife’s here.


You in. You’ve killed him.

You said you could make this work and it did.

I was on my way to erasing this young man’s feelings from this lane, but it wasn’t happening fast for you. And now your dunk off. You fixed it so he never has a chance to love anybody again.

I’m not getting a pulse. I’m not getting a pulse. There’s a first aid Getting the Hulk.

Go get that. You want to put gauze and bandages on a dead man?

I don’t know. Just get outta here. Go, um, damnit.

Okay. Don’t, don’t die.  Don’t.  Nah, you’re alive.

I didn’t think you care.

Oh my God, you’re alive. I don’t care. I don’t care. God. I don’t want to, don’t wanna add murder to my rap sheet. My God. Thank God you’re alive.


I get all my brother’s nerves sometimes, but he’s still my big brother. I know he is gonna make Lee pay for what he did to stuff and me.

Well, revenge is great, but it doesn’t keep you warm at night.

I’ve got those shares of stock to keep you warm at night, and I don’t want a man right now. I know how Stefan feels about me, and I am not above using that to influence his vote.  I mean, I’ll get what’s coming to me.

I’m sure you will.

I’ve had my heart broken before and I let it throw me off balance, and that ended up screwing me over in the business. But I’m the one calling the shots. I knew how much trouble Lee would get in. That’s why I agreed to the six months. I have a feeling that I’m not gonna be seeing that husband of mine for quite some time, perhaps maybe in the prison visiting room.

I hate to contradict the beautiful woman, but I’m afraid you’re mistaken.

You’re out.

The police had determined loose without filing a single charge.


I thought you and Joey were gonna go back to Seattle Now that the funerals.

Joey’s still going. Yeah. But, uh, I’m gonna stay here. Yeah. Like I said, my dad’s not doing too great and my mom, it’s uh, her doctors say that she’s still hearing voices and they can’t predict when she’ll come this.

I’m so sorry.

It’s really sad, you know, and since I’m all that she has, I don’t wanna be too far away. I actually just applied, uh, for a position as an attending at University Hospital. I just found out that I got it.

Hey, that’s great.

Now I was gonna live with my dad, but you know, I kind of want my own place. So if you need help with the rent,

I can’t even afford to split the rent actually.

Okay.

There need to be a third person.

Okay. Okay. Well, one roommate’s better than none, right? Or is this about Johnny?

What does that mean?

I mean, you decided you’d give him another shot, right?

Yeah, we went out on like one date and I mean it went pretty well, but it’s not like we’re ready to move in together.

Okay. Okay. Well that still needs you needing two roommates. I’m offering to be one of them. Unless you think Johnny would hate that idea.  He knows you and I are just friends.

Right, right. And I don’t think he’d like to see me out on the street.

Are you saying that I can move in here?


Yeah, I can say  available. It’s such a strange word, isn’t it, to describe someone as attached to anyone. Well, I mean, I suppose it’s not as bad as, um, on the market, ,

no, not as bad.

Hmm. I assume that’s the case. I mean, you’re not available. I mean, I did see you and EJ on Valentine’s Day, and it seems that. Very tight or seeing where it goes, meaning you’re not available.

Yeah, I guess  so.

You know who’s nice popping to you?

Wait, wait. Eric, come back. Come.

Why?

Why did you tell me that your father was rooting for us?

No reason really. I just found it interesting that my father had a change of heart.

What about you? Have you had a change of heart?

I haven’t done much thinking about what’s in my heart,  but I wanted to stop hurting.

First, I just, I need to make peace that I’ve lost my mom.

Of course.

No, my poor dad, he only keeps telling, is talking about how much Mrs. Kate,  all the opportunity that they had to be together in a buoy.

Is that what made him say he’s rooting for us?

If you want to get that, it might be important.

This is important. So you said you were thinking about your dad’s regrets.  Do you have any regrets?

You know, I do.

It’s him.  He says he needs to see me right away. It, it, it could be about Holly.

Oh. Oh, that’s right. You three live together now. Just one big happy family.


Okay, then I’ll go get settled in and let you two newlyweds hash this out.

What happened? How’d you get out this time?

I guess it’s asking too much for you to be happy for me.

Yeah, it is.

My ordeal is over now.

Are you sure?

I hate to disappoint, but yeah, I’m sure. So now I have my freedom. You have my Demer shares and you and I. Made a deal.


Hey Eric. Open up. It’s Rafe. This is police business. You and I need to have a conversation about Bill Elm Rolf

Sort a bitch bit me.


Ready? Ready the turn. Something go. Half fight.

Ready? What the hell are you doing?

I don’t wanna leave. Things like this. Yeah. Well you don’t really have a choice cuz you, chase said it was important

five.

Could I ask you one more question?

Oria said one of the D mirrors stole the orchid that was hidden in the DIR house, the orchid. That could save my mom, Kayla and Kate. I mean, since you’re living there now, I just wondered, have you heard anything about it?

If. Don’t you think I would’ve told you?

Yeah. It was a long shot.


It’s an old. Vitali family recipe. What , you know, when you said you were gonna make us lunch, I thought you meant sandwiches.

I did. I did. But then you had all this stuff for this in the kitchen. So voila,

you cook.

That’s not that hard. It’s just like four or five ingredients. Uh, but out of the five ingredients is red pepper plate, so it might be a little hot.

Mm. I like it hot. I think having you as a roommate is gonna be awesome.


We’re about to spend our first night together, Mrs. Shin.

Oh, stop lick your chops, please. Yeah, I said I’d stay with you for six months, but if you touch me during that time, I will put you in the hospital.

Hmm. I was just telling my attorney that my favorite thing about you is. What a romantic you are.

I liked you better in jail.  I can’t believe you got away with what you did to s Stefan.

Where are you going?

Mylo home. Flea home.

Do I need to remind you that the terms of our agreement state that your home is wherever I am for the next six months? Casa Ssu. Casa Yuka.

Okay. You don’t have to say it in every language. It’s hard enough to stomach just in English please.

But your casa. Leave up your room with him.

No problem. I think I have the perfect place for us.


Stand up. Get you the hell outta here.

I can’t.

Okay. You ke right here. God, you care to explain what’s going on here.

Yeah. That thing kidnapped me and demanded that roll fry my brain again. He and air. Where’s Roth now?

Huh?

I’m not saying a word without my,

he was here a minute ago.

All I think we need to get you to the er.

No, no, no, no hospitals. I just spent the last 24 hours type damn bed.

Hold on a second. I really don’t think that you should be,

I don’t give a damn what you think.

You’re not going anywhere,

huh?


Going somewhere. Doc,

I have nothing to say to you.

I’m trying to help you. The cops are looking through you now.

A said. I am acutely aware.

Well, they probably want you to sign a new statement.

Perhaps that’s the best course of.

I have another option for you. I know how much your work means to you. My client Lehan is still willing to set you up the best lab where all your scientific needs will be met.  He guarantees no disturbances. I don’t trust Lee Shin or you. Oh, if you think Eric Brady and his brother is going to help, Brady Black is in no position to help anyone. He is, as they say, in the soup,  I amuse myself.  But on further reflection, I think perhaps I should accept your offer.

I knew you were a smart guy.

counselor


Freddy.

What?

I just arrested your brother for kidnapping and you’re next.


Wow, . That was delicious. You know, Allie and Chanel never had to have to do anything but takeout. So I’ve been living on ramen and box mac and cheese.

We’ll just wait till we get a third roommate. Then we’ll have steak every night. .

Oh, that must be the movers for Allie’s stuff.  Lee, you’re outta jail.

I am indeed.

Oh, come in. Tell truth me. What happened?

Yeah. I’m sorry. We just finished lunch, but I’m sorry. I only made enough for two.

That’s all right. We’re gonna have dinner together.

Great. Where

Update written by Joseph

While leaving his room, Eric tells Brady to just text him when Dr. Rolf is done deprogramming Stefan. As he leaves, he runs in to Roman. Roman questions if Eric was talking to someone but Eric claims he was just talking to himself and asks what brought Roman up. Roman says if he hasn’t noticed, the lights were flickering so he came to see what the problem was. Eric suggests they go down and check the circuit breaker. Roman agrees and they walk away together.

Paulina meets Abe in the town square and apologizes for being late, noting that she stopped to check on Roman. Abe asks how he’s doing. Paulina mutters about Roman talking to an urn but then informs Abe that Roman informed her that Steve and John had a chat with Orpheus yesterday. Abe questions if a chat is all and Orpheus is still living. Paulina confirms that he is, but Orpheus told them something that he’s never going to believe.

At the DiMera Mansion, Tony accuses John and Steve of jumping to conclusions that it must’ve been his sister Megan who stole the orchid because Orpheus said it was a DiMera. Anna remarks that stealing the orchid wouldn’t be the worst thing that Megan has done. Tony points out that Megan is not alive as she died in 1985. John and Steve then reveal that Megan Hathaway is very much alive, shocking Tony.

Megan Hathaway stands in the DiMera lab with the three tubes containing Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. The three women open their eyes as Megan declares that the three sleeping beauties are finally awake as she laughs. Megan hopes they enjoyed their naps because now that they are back to the land of the living, there’s a lot of work for them to do…

Abe asks Paulina if Orpheus said which DiMera it was. Paulina says that Orpheus wasn’t specific, just that it was someone in that family. Paulina asks if Abe has any ideas. Nicole then approaches. Abe greets her and says it’s so good to see her. Abe invites Nicole to join them, so she sits down. Abe wishes they could’ve talked to Nicole at the funerals but there were so many people. Paulina comments on them being three special women. Nicole remarks that Marlena and Kayla were, so Paulina guesses that Nicole won’t be missing Kate. Nicole thinks back to fighting Kate in the past and says they had a very complicated relationship, always going at it, but they ended things on decent terms. Nicole then admits that she really will miss Kate.

Eric and Roman finish checking the breakers, so Eric guesses the lights flickering was just a fluke. Roman reveals to Eric that he’s been hearing Kate’s voice through the urn and that Paulina heard her too. Eric asks what Kate said. Roman responds that Kate’s worried about him, John, and Steve. Eric says that makes sense because they’ve been through a lot lately. Eric asks how Roman is doing. Roman thought the funeral might bring closure, but Orpheus dropped a bombshell and claimed to know who stole the orchid.

Anna tells Tony that it does sound like Megan to come back from the dead and not even give her own brother a note. Tony says that’s not the central issue here. Anna talks about Tony making a donation in Megan’s name every year even though he didn’t know she was his sister until after she died. Tony states that he makes that donation because Megan was murdered by Larry Welch, who threw her in to a hot tub. Steve says that’s just what it looked like. John adds that Stefano intervened and secretly kept Megan alive for years in a cryogenic state. Steve explains that Stefano kept Megan on ice until he had someone fix her and now she’s alive. John declares that they have every reason that Megan is the DiMera who took the Orchid and decided that their wives were going to die.

Megan states that she has been closely monitoring the brain activity of Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Megan notes that just now there was a significant spike in activity and then they all opened their eyes at the same time. She calls it quite a coincidence, but definitely a welcome development because now her plans can finally proceed. Megan pushes a red button that opens the three tubes that the women are laying in. Megan then pulls out a syringe and injects Marlena, causing her to begin to move as Megan laughs.

Tony says it seems John and Steve have made up their minds based off nothing but words from Orpheus. John then reveals that he and Steve saw Megan last summer. Tony questions them not informing him of this. Steve says they had their reasons and she hasn’t changed a bit. Anna questions where they found Megan. Steve explains that it took place Beyond Salem…

Megan injects Kate with the syringe and says it should perk her right up. Marlena sits up and looks around. Marlena identifies Megan, who declares that she is back again. Marlena doesn’t understand as she heard Megan was alive, but questions what she is doing here. Marlena then asks where she is. Megan tells her to try to relax and asks what she last remembers. Marlena recalls being on the roof with John. Megan calls it a very romantic set up with a slideshow of their life together which Marlena flashes back to. Megan remarks that Marlena then had to go spoil the mood by dying, or so they thought.

Eric questions Roman about how Orpheus knows a DiMera took the orchid. Roman explains that Orpheus had some people on the outside do some investigating. Eric questions Orpheus being able to identify them before the police or the ISA. Roman states that John believes Orpheus, but he didn’t say which DiMera it was, so John and Steve are looking in to it. Eric asks if there’s anything he can do. Roman brings up that Nicole has been living at the DiMera Mansion, so it’s possible she’s heard or seen something. Roman suggests that Eric could ask her but Eric doesn’t think that’s a good idea.

Paulina tells Abe and Nicole that she was just getting to know Kate. Paulina asks Nicole about what started the trouble between her and Kate. Nicole says it’s hard to say now. Abe suggests it was when Nicole stole Kate’s husband. Nicole guesses that probably was the first time, but points out that Kate was trying to kill Victor. Nicole adds that Kate hated her before that because she didn’t think she was good enough for her son. Paulina asks what happened afterwards. Nicole responds that Kate changed her tune and paid her $5 million dollars to marry her son. Paulina questions how that came about. Nicole explains that Lucas was trying to get custody of Will and needed to provide a stable home. Paulina jokes that Nicole hit the jackpot. Nicole confirms that she did take the money but calls it the worst mistake of her life because she was engaged to Eric and she’s ashamed to say that she gave him up for the money. Nicole adds that it wasn’t just about the money, but something in her past that she didn’t want to come out. Nicole often thinks about what might have happened if she and Eric did get married back then. Paulina asks how long ago that was. Nicole informs her that it was when she and Eric first met 25 years ago.

John and Steve explain to Anna and Tony that Megan had her henchmen grab them while they were visiting their kids in San Francisco and Seattle. John adds that they were then flown to Caracas where they had their face to face with Megan and she had apparently been using that her base of operations for a long time. Anna questions what she wanted with them. Steve responds that she brainwashed them causing Anna to remark that Megan is Stefano all over again. John adds that she then had them flown to Hong Kong to crash the DiMera Gala and steal the prism. Tony says he knew the prism was stolen but he thought it was a jewel thief or a rival company. Anna talks about knowing it was a mistake for Li to go after the prisms since they caused enough trouble in the 80s when Stefano tried to collect all three of them which led to the plane crash where she, Tony, and nearly half of Salem nearly died. Tony asks if they gave the prism to Megan. John confirms that they did and even with a small army trying to stop her, she still got away. Steve notes that Megan is still out there somewhere and now she has all three prisms.

Marlena asks Megan if she died. Megan says sort of and reveals that while she was in the hospital, she stuck something in to her IV so it appeared that she had died and then she switched the bodies in the morgue and took her away. Marlena questions John and her family thinking that she’s died. Megan confirms that they had a funeral and she hopes it gave them closure. Marlena asks whose body she used. Megan reminds Marlena that Stefano had a whole army of Marlena lookalikes. Megan says that’s why she never throws anything away because you never know when it will come in handy. Megan adds that Marlena actually was at death’s door, so she brought here here to this cryogenic chamber. Marlena guesses it wasn’t done on her behalf. Kayla wakes up, questioning where she is.

Eric tells Roman that he and Nicole aren’t on the best terms and things get tense when they are around each other so he wants to avoid her because they push each others’ buttons. Roman suggests they talk about why they keep pushing each others’ buttons. Eric thought Roman didn’t like talking about feelings. Roman says he’s grown. Roman argues that this is not just an ugly breakup or a casual fling, causing Eric to realize that he and Nicole have been in each other’s lives for 25 years.

Paulina tells Nicole that 25 years is a long time and asks how she and Eric first met. Nicole explains that she was a waitress at the Java Cafe and the day she took his order, he took her heart. Nicole flashes back to that moment. Nicole comments that they were a lot younger then and like different people. Nicole can’t believe it was 25 years ago. Abe calls it quite a milestone. Paulina agrees and says if they had stayed together, it would be their silver anniversary. Nicole recalls that Eric was a photographer back then and he convinced Sami to hire her as a model at Titan which is when they fell in love. Paulina asks if Eric has been a part of her life ever since then. Nicole says that Eric was gone for a long time but when he came back, she was not prepared for it. Nicole remembers Eric returning to Salem and how she was shocked to see he had become a priest.

Eric tells Roman that he and Nicole were kids when they met. Roman acknowledges that Nicole was Eric’s first love. Roman asks when he last saw Nicole. Eric says it was Valentine’s Day at the Bistro as their tables were practically on top of each other. Roman suggests that was a sign while Eric calls it a disaster since he was with Sloan and Nicole was with EJ. Roman asks if he’s getting serious with Sloan. Eric reveals that as of yesterday, they are no longer together. Roman complains about Sloan insulting his chowder while Nicole always has seconds. Roman thinks the fact that it’s always intense between Eric and Nicole is because there’s always something between them. Eric says that is until now because it never works. Roman urges Eric to try again, insisting that he won’t want to look back and realize he wasted a lot of time being right.

Tony asks Steve again why they didn’t tell him all of this. Steve explains that the ISA swore them all to secrecy since it’s still an ongoing investigation and Megan’s mere existence was considered classified information. John declares that they are not staying quiet about this anymore when they think she’s the one who took the orchid. Tony questions why. John asks who knows what her motives are. John says Megan could simply be striking back at her enemies like Stefano. John adds that if Megan took the orchid then she is the one who killed Marlena, Kate, and Kayla, and she’s not going to get away with that.

Megan fills Kayla in on everyone thinking they are dead. Megan notes that she didn’t have a Kayla lookalike in storage so she had to make do. Kayla argues that she needs to let them know they are alive and not let them suffer. Megan questions why and calls it payback for all the years that John and Steve would thwart Stefano. Marlena argues that Megan kidnapped and brainwashed them last summer, asking if that wasn’t enough. Megan complains that they made Stefano’s life Hell and says they tried to bring down a great man. Marlena questions if this is about retribution for Stefano. Megan calls it bigger than that as their so-called deaths are vital to her plans. Kayla asks if Kate also survived. Kate then wakes up and confirms she is there too.

Paulina asks if Nicole was really surprised that Eric became a priest. Nicole calls it a shock but she wasn’t surprised as Eric was always spiritual. Nicole says she told herself that she was happy for him but it got tough when she started working for him. Paulina asks how long it was before she gave in to the forbidden passion. Abe argues that they invited Nicole to breakfast, not an interrogation, but Nicole says it’s okay. Nicole informs Paulina that it didn’t happen like that since Kristen got Eric kicked out of the priesthood. Nicole adds that they then had to work through some things, but once they did, it was heaven.

Eric tells Roman that he’s sorry to throw cold water on his massive plan for his life, but Nicole moved on with EJ. Roman jokes that they won’t last but Eric says that Nicole and EJ have a long history and it looked like they have a new chapter. Roman argues that Nicole might have just wanted him to think that. Eric questions when Roman became team Nicole because he remembers Roman always insisting that he break up with her. Roman says he’s evolved and just wants Eric to be happy, so if Nicole makes him happy, he says to fight for her and get a move on. Roman guarantees that Eric doesn’t want to waste time like he did.

Kate questions everyone thinking they are dead and Megan being Stefano’s daughter. Megan calls Kate the whore who married Stefano. Kate jokes that she hopes they can be friends. Kate sees Megan has inherited Stefano’s penchant for intricate machinations. Marlena says that Megan thought of everything including lookalike bodies for their funerals. Megan talks about how Kate’s was easy because she wanted to be cremated, so she just came up with ashes for her urn and now Roman is talking to the remains of a goat. Megan declares that she loves her work. Kate asks what Megan is going to do to them.

Steve states that finding Megan won’t be easy since the ISA has been conducting an international manhunt since last July and even Hope hasn’t been able to locate her. Tony questions Hope knowing about this too. Steve confirms that Megan tried to have Hope killed. Anna remarks that some things never change because Megan was always jealous of Bo’s love for Hope. John asks Tony if there’s anything from the past that might give him an idea of where Megan might be. Tony says no since he didn’t even know Megan was his sister until after she died. Anna brings up Stefano keeping a box of Megan’s things around. Tony thinks it may be in the attic. John says it’s worth a shot and decides that while Tony is getting that, he’s going to give Shane’s son, Andrew Donovan, a call since he’s the ISA agent heading this whole investigation. John states that Megan had to come out of hiding to take the orchid, so maybe she left them a trail. Steve says he hopes so.

Paulina talks about having a vivid memory of Nicole and Eric at her and Abe’s wedding. Paulina still feels they have too much of a connection to not end up together. Abe agrees. Nicole says not to hold their breath because Eric is with Sloan now. Paulina calls Sloan a vile woman. Nicole assures that she has no doubt in her mind that Eric has moved on, just like she is going to.

Eric gets a text from Brady that Dr. Rolf is taking a break. Eric texts Brady back, asking if he needs anything but Brady says he’s good. Roman comes back and tells Eric that it seems the lights have settled. Eric decides that he will go on a run then. Roman encourages Eric to think about what he said about Nicole as Eric then exits the Pub. Roman remarks that he hopes Eric follows his advice and doesn’t take too long to follow his heart. Roman looks to the urn and declares that he would give anything to have more time with Kate.

Tony and Anna go through the box of Megan’s things that Stefano kept. Tony can’t believe that Megan is still alive and Stefano never said anything. Anna remarks that even dead, Stefano is still full of surprises. Tony wonders if Megan will try to claim her share of DiMera Enterprises, commenting that it would really shake up the balance of power. Anna says there must be some sort of clause that would keep an international fugitive from being an active participant in the company. Tony points out that it didn’t stop Kristen when she made sure that Gabi remained CEO. Anna thinks they really need to change the by laws. Tony agrees to look into it. Anna thinks Tony has something bigger to worry about. Anna brings up that Megan wanted to find the prisms because they cured all sorts of things including Stefano’s brain tumor. Anna wonders if Megan is collecting the prisms again for the same reason. Anna then asks what if Megan is trying to bring Stefano back from the dead, or what if she already has?

Megan tells Kate, Kayla, and Marlena that she’s given them enough to process and says she’s going to give them time to acclimate to their new home. Kayla argues that it’s not their home and she needs to let them go. Megan says it’s not their call. Kate asks why they are here. Marlena then asks if this is about the three prisms which Kate questions. Kayla explains that Megan was after the prisms last summer. Kate is surprised to learn that they knew Megan was alive since then. Megan explains that Hope and the ISA didn’t want anyone to know about her comeback to Earth. Kayla says they are eventually going to find her and then they will be rescued. Megan says she wouldn’t count on that since for 7 months, she’s been one step ahead of Hope, so when they do figure out where she is, it will be too late for the three women. Megan says they are giving her a headache and grabs another syringe as she declares that it’s time for another nap.

Paulina tells Abe that Nicole and Eric have quite the love story. They hope that it’s not over yet. Abe informs Paulina that in two days, it will be two years since they first met. Paulina knows they will still be together and in love in 25 years as they kiss.

Nicole walks to the park and sits on the bench as she thinks back to her and Eric’s wedding. Eric then walks by and they see each other.

John and Steve go to the Brady Pub. Roman asks if they had any luck. Steve informs him that they just talked to Tony and Anna and came up with a theory that they are looking in to and now they are just waiting to hear from the ISA. Roman questions what they have to do with this. John tells Roman to brace himself as they think that the DiMera they are looking for is Megan Hathaway.

Megan injects Kate, Kayla, and Marlena to put them to sleep. Megan calls them a real handful but says that it will all be worth it in the end. Megan declares that they are going to need some rest for what comes next because phase two will begin very shortly…

Anna tells Tony that Stefano had terminal cancer, but wonders if Megan put Stefano on ice, like he did for her and if she found a cure with the prisms. Tony thinks they are letting their imaginations run away from them. Tony adds that Stefano would be in his 90s now and probably couldn’t take the trauma. Tony comments on Dr. Rolf confirming Stefano was dead and putting his memories in a microchip. Tony admits that it’s just not adding up. Anna questions that if not Stefano, who is Megan trying to cure?

Megan leans against a cryogenic chamber and then exits the lab.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Just text pull updates about Ralph. Some brainwash his step. Okay. Uh, dad, what are you doing? Were you, uh, talking to somebody? Just myself. Um, why am are you up here? Wait, you didn’t notice the lights been flickering off and on. I’m trying to track down the, Why don’t we go down and check the circuit breaker?

Well, that’s a good idea. You know it’s supposed so me. It’s snuck a hot plate in the room. Do you , don’t we? Up here? We do a thing like that.

Oh, I’m sorry. I’m late. . I stopped by the pub to see Roman. Oh, how’s he doing? Better than I expected. Well, after everything he’s been through, I wouldn’t blame him if. Talking to the walls more like an urn. What? Nothing. Um, but um, he did tell me something very interesting though. Apparently Stephen John had a chat with Orpheus yesterday.

Stephen. John had a chat. That’s all. Morpheus is still among the living Yes. If told them something, you are never going to believe. So obvious a man, not exactly known for his veracity says that a demir stole the orchid from Kristen, but he neglected to give you the first name. Said the two of you. Jumped to the conclusion.

Must have been my sister, Megan. Well, Tony, you have to. Stealing an orchid wouldn’t be the worst thing Megan’s ever done when she was alive, but she’s not alive. She died in 1985. She passed on. She ceased to be doing. I know this may come as a shock and we are in Salem. Maybe not. What are you talking about?

The fact is Megan Hathaway is very much alive.

Well, finally, the three sleeping beauties are awake,

Well, ladies, I hope you enjoyed your naps. Because now that you’re back in the land of the living, there’s a lot of work for us to do

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

Did Orpheus say, which demerit was, I asked the same thing. Roman said Orpheus was not specific. Just that it was someone in that family. Do you have any ideas, Nicole? Nicole Walker at de. Oh, . Hi. Well, it is so good to see you. I tell you what, why don’t you join us here? We, we haven’t ordered yet. Oh, that sounds nice.

Yeah. Um, hi, you, Colleen, that. Hi. Well, I tell you, we wish we could have talked to you at the funeral, but there were so many people there. Mm-hmm. . Those were three highly regarded ladies. Well, Marlena and Kayla. I take it. You won’t be missing Kate in the same way.

You shut up, you ungrateful bitch. Who are you calling? Bitch I’m calling you

Kate and I had a very complicated relationship, always going at it, you know. We ended things on decent terms.

Can’t believe it or not. I, uh,

I really will.

Well, everything checks out, so the lights flickering just seem to be. For Kate, I’m not quite there. I’ve been hearing her, uh, voice through leonne. Okay. Look, I don’t need cynicism about the afterlife from someone who performs exorcism, and Paul hurt her too. All right. What’d she say? She’s worried about me and John and.

It makes sense. I mean, you’ve all been through a lot lately. How you doing? Well, you know, I thought maybe the funeral might bring some closure. He didn’t. I didn’t get a chance to find out. Orpheus dropped the bombshell. He claims to know who stole the.

You look . I know I may be skating on thin ice here, darling, but that does sound like Megan to come back from the dead and not even drop you a note. You her own brother die. Can you understand that? That is not the central issue here? No. Okay. I know how much you donate every year to the, the daily mass for the repose of her soul.

And you didn’t even know she was your sister while she was alive, but you are such a good man, Anna. I make that donation. Because Megan was murdered in 1985 by Larry Walton thrown into a hot tub because she died. That’s just what it looked like, because once again, Stefano intervened, and for years he kept her secretly alive in a cryogenic state.

Was that part of the Soviet Union? You know, back then? Okay. Stefano kept Megan on ice until he gets somebody to fix her boo boos and make them go away. Then he thaw her out and. She’s alive. Well, why didn’t you just say so? Anyway, we have every reason to believe that she is the damir who took the orchid and she determined that our wives were gonna die.

I have been closely monitoring your brain activity as minimal as yours is

and just now. There was a significant spike in the activity and then you all opened your eyes all at the same time. That’s quite a coincidence, but definitely a very welcome development because now my fans can finally proceed.

So it seems the two of you have made up your minds based on nothing but another article from office. No, no, no, no, no. Tony, there’s more to it. Steve and I saw her last summer is Omega. You actually saw her. That’s right. It didn’t occur here. That possibly could inform me about this. We had our raisins.

Let’s just say she hasn’t changed a bit. Where did you find her? Was she here in Salem? No. Her little run in took place beyond Salem.

This should perky right up.

It’s uh, Megan, right? That’s right. Megan Hathaway is back again.

don’t understand. I, I, I heard you were alive, but

what are you doing here? Wait. What am I doing here? Where am I? Just try to relax. What’s the last thing you remember?

I was on the roof with John. Exactly. There was a very romantic setup, twinkly lights, slideshow of your life together.

And of course strawberries and cream,

and then you had to go and spoil the mood by dying,

so they thought.

Oria said Amira took the orchid. How does he know that he had some people on the outside investigate for him? What? He can identify the thief before the police in the isa. Yeah, I know, I know, but I’m telling you, John believes him. He didn’t happen to say which Damira was He know how the guy loves riddle, so No, he did not.

John, Steve are checking. Is there anything I can do? Well, well, what? You know, I wasn’t gonna bring this up. All right, but since you out just put it out there, dad. What? Since Nicole has been living at the Demaris, well, affordable housing is hard to find her. Yeah. Look, I know this is a sore subject, but it is possible she may have heard or seen something.

Maybe you could ask her. You know what? To be honest, I don’t think that’s a good.

I can understand you’re missing Kate. I was just getting to know her. She was what? The French called for me. . She was a formidable lady. Mm-hmm. . So what. Even if you didn’t get along, kind of like saying armed warfare is not getting along. Oh, well it’s fun to have a good sparring partner. I married mine. Yeah, I, uh, I hung up my gloves now.

Don’t you believe it. So who laid down the first gole and what was, what was the trouble that started between you and Kate? Uh, it is hard to say now. Well, perhaps it’s when you stole our husband. Oh yeah, that probably was the first time. But she was trying to kill Victor, you know? Oh, well. Anyway, she, she hated me before that.

She didn’t think I was good enough for her son. Mothers of Sons, they think they’re all Princes . So what happened? Well, she changed her tune later. I mean, she paid me $5 million to marry her son. Well, that’s quite a dowry. . How did that come? Well, Lucas was trying to get custody of Will and he needed to provide a stable home.

Oh, so you, you, you hit the jackpot, . I mean, uh, you did take the money, didn’t you? I did.

It was the worst mistake of my life. Wow. So,

well, I was engaged to Eric. And I gave him up for the money. I’m ashamed to say, but it wasn’t, it wasn’t just about the money. You know, there’s just something from my past that I didn’t want to come out. But I often think about what would’ve happened if Eric and I got married way back when. Um, how far back?

Oh my gosh. Um, the first time we met was, It’s 25 years ago

I was visiting Paul in San Francisco when one of Megan’s henchman Shanghai. Me, you Damaris and your henchman. Yeah, she had me snatch when Kayla and I were visiting our kids in Seattle, and then she flew both of us down to Corus and that is where we had our face-to-face with. Father has an nu compound down there.

Apparently she’s been using that as her base of operation for quite a while now. But what did she want with you two? She brainwashed us. Dear God, she’s Stefano all over again. And then she flew us to Hong Kong so we could crash. The Damir Gala and steel prison. The damn prison. That’s a fact. I knew it was stolen.

Mm-hmm. , but we thought it was some ju th maybe some rival company. Well, I knew it was a mistake for Lee Shin to go after those prisms. I mean, they caused enough trouble back in the eighties when S Stepo tried to get his hands on all three of. And that led to that plane crash where Tony and I and nearly half of Salem almost died.

Did you give the present to Megan? I did. And even with a small army of people trying to stop her, she still got away. She’s still out there somewhere and now she has all three prisms.

So I died sort of actually while you were in hospital. I snuck something into your IV so that it appeared that you had shuffled off this mortal coil. Then I switched the bodies in the morgue and whisked you away. So John and my family think I’m dead. Well, I doubt they would’ve had a funeral for you if they didn’t.

Anyway, even though it wasn’t you that was interred I, I hope that it gave him some sort of closure. Whose body was it? Surely you remember that my father had an entire army of Marlena look likes. That’s why I never throw anything away. You never know when it’s gonna come in handy. I just use one of those anyway.

You actually were at death store, so I brought you here to this cozy little cryogenic. Not entirely altruistic. You didn’t really do it on my behalf, did you? Where am I? Look who’s decided to join the park. Oh, Kayla. I think so.

Uh, Nicole and I are not the best of. When we’re around each other, it gets pretty tense. That doesn’t tell you something. It tells me that I need to try avoiding Nicole because we push each other’s buttons. Have you tried talking about it, asking why it is that you keep pushing each other’s buttons? You know what, I’m pretty comfortable with that.

Laconic Irish dad, who does not like to talk about feelings. What can I say? I’ve grown. Look great. Eric. Eric, this is not just an ugly. With a casual flame. Nicole has been a big part of your life for for how long now? Actually,

it’s been like 25 years. 25 years. That’s a long time. How did you and Eric first meet? Oh, well, I was a waitress at the Java Cafe and. The day I took his order, he took my heart.

Good morning. Good morning. Can I get you some coffee? Uh, actually I was thinking of a double espresso and maybe a club sandwich. White bread, whole wheat. Oh wait. And some chips with that too. Okay. Thank you. Excuse me. You’re new here. Huh? Started about a month.

Ooh, you were a lot younger back then. Actively different people. I guess that’s the day you walked into Eric’s life. . Wow. No, Tony. Encourage him, please, please. He thinks he’s a comedian. Oh my gosh. Still, I, I, I can’t believe it was 25 years ago. That’s quite a m. It sure is. Oh, if the two of you sat together, we’d be behind you.

Silver Candle six for your anniversary.

Eric was a photographer back then and he convinced Sammy to hire me as a model at Titan. And that’s when we fell in Love

You.

So Eric’s been a part of your life since then? No. Um, actually he was gone a long time, but when he came back, let me say, I, I was not prepared for it. Eric, is that you?

What the hell? Ah, Nicole. I don’t think you should talk like that around me anymore. Okay. I mean, is that a ? I’m sorry, but is that a joke? Well, I hope on we’re very hard to get it. Yeah, but you’re a, a, a, I don’t mind you can say the word priest.

We were kids when we met. She was your first love that she was. When was the last time you, uh, saw her? Not me, prior or anything? Of course. Nine.

It was Valentine’s Day at the bus yard. Sure. Our tables were practically on top of one another. Maybe that was a sign. It’s more like a disaster. I was with Sloan and she was with EJ Sloan. Huh? Is that getting serious? Well, as of yesterday, we are no longer together, so please try to contain your disappointment.

She insulted the chatter. There’s no soul in a person like that. Nicole always has seconds. Ed, you know, Barry down at the hardware store, he sometimes has three bulls, so maybe I should ask him out. Right? That’s good. That’s good. But doesn’t the fact that it’s always intense every time you two meet, tell you something.

Whatever there is between you two, it just never goes away. No. Whatever there is between us never works up until now. Try again, damnit. Okay. Trust me, you don’t want to have to look back on your life and say, damn shit. I waste a lot of time being right.

I’ll ask again. Why didn’t you tell me all this? The ISA swore us all to secrecy. It’s still an ongoing investigation. Megan’s mere existence was considered classified information, but we’re not staying quiet about this anymore. Not when. We think she’s the one that took that orchid, but why know who the hell knows what her motives are?

She always worshiped. Stephanie could be as simple as just striking back the enemies, but I’ll tell you one thing if we’re right about this, is she took that orchid, she’s the one that killed Doc, Kayla and Kate. She’s not gonna get away with that.

So everybody thinks we’re. Bye job. I think she’s got it. You know, I didn’t have a Kayla lookalike though, in storage, so, oh, I just had to make do well. You need to let them know that we’re alive. You cannot let them suffer like that. Why not? John and Patch spent years trying to thwart my father. It’s time they got a little payback.

You kidnapped and brainwashed them last summer. Wasn’t that enough? No. They made my father’s life hell to two. Little arrogant. Nobodys trying to bring down a great man, a visionary. You are as fatty as ever. So that’s what this is about. Retribution for Stefano partly, but it’s bigger than that. Your so-called deaths are vital to my plans.

Wait just a second. If Marlena and I survived, does, does that mean that Yeah, I’m here too. Oh,

wherever the hell here is.

Oh,

I have this Catholic girlfriend, . Every time she sees a really dishy priest, she. Father, what a waste. Oh, probably not . What? I’m just telling the call what my girlfriend said, . So I mean, was it really a surprise that Eric was a priest? I mean, was looked like he a wild child when you first met him. Why? I mean, it was, it was a shock, but I wasn’t surprised and he was always kind of spiritual.

Something we have in common, right? Oh yeah. It’s always kind of hard to land those spiritual types. I told myself I was happy for him. I lie to myself a lot, but it did get pretty tough when I started working for him. Oh yes. How very Thorn Birds. Yeah. So how long was it before you gave them to the Forbidden Passion?

Paulina? Whoa. We invited Nicole to breakfast. Not an interrogation. It’s o It’s okay, Abe. It didn’t, it didn’t happen like that. Actually, Kristen Damira got him kicked out of the priesthood. Then you went in for the kill? Mm, no. We had to work through some things, you know, but once we did, it was heaven.

Keep going.

Dad, I am sort of sorry to throw a cold water on your master plan for my life, but Nicole’s moved on. She’s with EJ . Yeah, those two will last about as long as a couple mayflies, man. There’s a long history there. All right. And by the looks of the other night, it’s, they’re in a new chapter. Maybe that’s what she wanted you to turn.

When didn’t she become such team, Nicole? Because. Pretty much remember all the time you insisted that I break up in Nicole. Well, like I said, I’ve evolved. All right? All I want is for you to be happy. And if it’s Nicole that makes you happy, I say fight for it and get a move on. Dammit, come on. I guarantee you, you don’t wanna waste time like I did

and everyone thinks we’re dead. That’s right, and that’s Stephanie’s daughter and you are the whore that married him. Well, I won’t ever try to take your mommy’s place, but I do hope we can be good friends. You’re off to a great start. So I see that you have inherited your father’s pension for intricate machinations.

She’s thought of everything, including look-alike bodies for our funerals. You are the easiest you wanted to be cremated. So all I had to do was come up with an urn full of ashes for you. Oh, well, I’m glad I didn’t put you out. And now your husband is talking to the remains of a goat . Oh, you really are enjoying this, aren’t you?

Immensely. Mm. What can I say? I love my work Well, about that work. What are you gonna do to me? I mean, I mean, nice.

You know, finding Megan won’t be easy. The ISA has been conducting an international manhunt since last July. Even Hope hasn’t been able to locate her. Hope knows about this too. Megan tried to have her. Oh, some things never change. Megan was always jealous of Bo’s. Love for Hope. Tony, is there anything from the past that might give you an idea of where Megan might be?

No. I mean, I didn’t even know she was my sister until after she died. But darling, didn’t your father keep a box of her things around here somewhere? If it might help, I think there may be a box up in the antique. Nice. So it’s worth a shot. All right. You go grab that. In the meantime, I’m gonna give Andrew down.

I’m gonna call Shane Kimberly son. Yeah, he’s an IS agent. In fact, he’s heading up his whole investigation. I’ll check in with him, see if he got any leads. You know, Megan had to come outta hiding. Take the work. Maybe she looked as a trio. Well, let’s hope so.

I have this vivid memory of you and Eric at our wedding, and I still say you two have too much of a connection not to still end up together. And I must say I. Oh, don’t hold your breath. Because he is with Sloan Peterson now. Oh, file woman. Well, how does he like it there at the bottom of the barrel? Oh, he likes it just fine.

So I have no doubt in my mind he has moved on just like I’m going to.

Well, it seems like, uh, all the lights have settled. Okay, well, if you don’t need anything, I think I’m gonna go on a run. Okay. While you running, think about what I said about Nicole Cole and Nicole, who, you’re funny guy.

I hope he takes my advice. It doesn’t wait too. Follow his heart

Katie

Give to have one time.

I still can’t believe that father’s Golden Girl is still. And didn’t say a word, even dead. Stefano is still full of surprises. I wonder if she’s gonna try and claim her. She has of demand prizes now that would really shake up the balance of power. Mm. Well there must be some sort of clause that would keep a, an international fugitive from being an active participant in the company.

Ah, but that didn’t stop Kristen when she was on the run. Oh, she made sure that Gabby kept her seat as c e o. You really need to change those bylaws. Yes, turn. In the meantime, Tony, I really think there’s something bigger that you have to worry about. I’ve been thinking Megan wanted to find those prism.

Because they cured all sorts of things, including your father’s brain tumor. Is it possible that she is collecting them again for the same reason

he suggested? What if she is trying to bring Stefano back from the dead? Or even worse, what if she already.

Okay, we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. I’ve given you ladies enough to process, so relax and take some time to acclimate to your new home. So this is not our new home and you need to let us. Sorry, not your call . At least you could tell us why we’re here to love, honor, and serve God in this world, and then to be happy with him in the next.

Is this about the three prisms prism? What? What Prisms. Megan went to a lot of trouble to call our three prisms last summer. What? What? So the two of you have known that she’s been alive since? Don’t feel too left out apparently. Hope Williams Brady and the ISA didn’t want anyone to know of my comeback tour.

Well, they are eventually going to find you and they will be rescued. I wouldn’t count on that. You see, for the last seven months, I’ve been one step ahead of old frowny. And so when they do figure out where I am, it’s gonna be too late for the three of you.

You’re giving me a headache.

I think it’s time for another now.

Oh, oh. Nicole and Eric have quite that love story. Yes. And I hope it’s not over yet. Me too. You know, in two days it will be two years since we first met and. Well, I’m sorry, it’s not 25. Oh, no, no, no, no. Not yet. But what it is, I know one thing will still be together. Ooh, yes, yes, yes. Gimme something. Gimme something.

And still in Love,

You have forgiven me for some unforgivable things. You’ve done the same for me. And no matter what life has thrown at us, we’ve gotten through it.

No matter what life throws at us in the future, I know. And we will get through it together.

I love you so much. I love you warm.

Infinity times one

We just talked to Tony and Anna. We came up with a theory. We’re looking into, we’re just waiting to hear from the isa. What have they got to do with us? Embrace yourself, Roman. We think the damir that we’re looking for is Megan Hathaway.

You three are a real handful, but it’ll all be worth it in the end. Mary. Oh, don’t get some rest, dog. You’re gonna need some strength for what comes next.

Phase two will begin very shortly.

Tony, your father had terminal cancer. Is it possible that she put him on ice, the way he put her on ice and then once she got her hands on the prisons, she’s found a cure? You know, I think we are letting our imaginations run away with us, and besides father would’ve been in his nineties by now and no, his probably couldn’t have taken all that.

And besides Ralph said to us that he was. As if we could trust him, but he put all the father’s memories and inserted them into a microchip and then implanted him to Steve. He wouldn’t have done that if father was still alive. Oh, this just doesn’t add up. But if it’s not Stefano, then who is she trying to cure?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, hey yourself. I wasn’t through with that. Well, I left you the sports section. Oh, sure. I’m gonna read the sports section, and then after that I’m going to go down to the schoolyard and shoot hoops with the bros. Well, you have fun. Well, you know, you would think it would be on the front page. It’s not in the metro section.

Guess I’m gonna have to check the obits. The Aries. Is that just a gla, are you looking for someone in particular? Oh, of course I am. Mylo harp off. Yes. What makes you think he’s dead?

Hey, following? Uh huh. Coffee. Oh, if you’ll join me. Okay. Well, not a big crowd this morning, as you can see. Usually pretty lively about this time, but, uh, business kind of falling on. So how are you? Everything okay? Yeah, Roman. Um, that’s why I dropped by to tell you about my problems. Oh, I’ve got nothing to say that’s profound.

Wish I did. But I do know at least 200 people that are thinking of you praying, praying for you. Well, that does mean a whole lot for me. And now I’m gonna butt in. But Roman is only because I care about you, because I’m worried about you and, and Steve and John, save what’s on your mind? Paulina? I just wanna make sure that you all, you all didn’t kill office, did you?

Hey buddy

to hear.

I thought maybe I was close to,

makes some sense that refuse to stall us. According to him, some mystery damer stole. Orchid from Kristen. Man. The only reason for that was to make sure Kayla, Kate, and Doc did die.

Son.

Mm mm mm. Have you tried the Ambrosia? Not yet. Oh, you really should. It’s just out of this world. Oh, fer. Excuse me. Look out of this world. Where’d you hear that joke from? A thula. She’s in a great mood. You’d be happier when there’s an open bar. My God, I, I, I can’t believe the two of you. I mean, look at you.

You are eating ambrosia. You’re, you’re eating easily. I mean, we’re in heaven. Okay? There’s no calories, there’s no heartburn. You’re eating. Well, who needs heartburn when you are around? God’s sakes. So sorry. Sorry. But like you said, we are in heaven. So for the love of God, and I mean, literally lighten up.

Not gonna lighten up even though we’re in heaven. You heard what Jake said. We’re not supposed to be here. Ugh. Oh God.

Ba boom. . Looks like your wings have been clipped you holier than now. Arch Angel, battle of the Angels. I know it’s a fiery death for that heavenly host, . Hey, Grimer.

dude.

Don’t you know, these explicit video games are gateways to aggression and violence. Literally, that is why Satan invented them. Okay. What, what, what do you want? You’re disturbing my precious downtime. I’m here to tell you, you made a mistake. You need to send Marlene ca and Kate back to earth. You know what?

That’s such a great suggestion, Jake, and I’ve thought about it and it’s a, it’s a no for me. Yeah. It’s a, it’s a hard no, but thank you.

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

Wait a minute. How did you find out about the Tres Amigos planning a. Anna, well ask stupid questions. So what, you were on the group email she sent out? No, no, no, no. In her defense, she didn’t tell me. I overheard her. Did you tell Abe he’s married after report it? No. No. Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me, if not with Anna.

But mama, don’t you see once, once the word gets out of Sophia’s death, you guys are all gonna be in deep a word I can’t use. Well, it’s not. Stephen John didn’t go through. Oh, thank God. Oh, oh. Believe me, I understand the impulse and I would’ve understood if you had killed Evil Ard, but that’s not what Marla and Kan you, Kate would’ve wanted.

I know, I know that. In fact, she told her in so many words,

I’m calling you. What, what? What am I, am I talking to? Didn’t we just see Jake stand right here and tell all three of us that we’re still alive? I mean, we’re not curious about whether that’s true or not.

Uh, okay. Okay. So what’s the look? So what are you not telling me? Well, uh, Kayla and I are having a hard time believing what Jake said is true. I mean, if you think about it, look who we supposedly talked to. Uh, Susan Bangs and Adrian, and, and none of those people were people that we thought they were. So how do we know that, that Jake wasn’t just some devil’s illusion, I’m just not so sure you could trust him.

Oh. Oh really? Miss Catholic schoolgirl. Raise your faith. I’m sorry, Kate. I know you wanna believe that what Jake said is true and that that actually was. But wanting it doesn’t make it true. Oh God, I should have known that you’d take her side. I’m not taking anybody’s side, but if this isn’t earth, how can we be alive?

I don’t have an answer to that. All I know is that none of this makes sense. So I’m going to clinging to the hope that that really was Jake and what he told us was, But where is Jake? Anyway, he makes this big proclamation that we’re all alive and then he disappears with Nick Fallon. Maybe they’re hashing out our faith, but we have another issue at hand.

What’s that? Well, John and Steve, were out planning to kill ours if they. We have to figure out what’s gonna happen to them.

Well, nobody. What if this is just another one of Orpheus’s Mind games. After all these years, I know all about his damn mind games, but this time my gut is telling me that it’s no game. He’s telling the truth. No, it was the first time for everything. And I’ve been thinking about it, I think so a weird kind of sense that Jamir would be involved.

Their, um, their thirsts for payback didn’t just die with stephano. So we need to find out which one of them slowly, or, and we know the obvious place to start.

Why are he still looking for news Onia? There’s nothing on Orpheus’s death in the paper or online. Oh, well, maybe, and this is just coming from the top of my head. It’s because he hasn’t died, and that once again, you’ve taken your wishful thinking and transformed it into a full-blown Deus. Oh, you think you’re so smart,

No, I don’t think I’m so smart. It’s not that this is that. I think that you are very . Watch it. sensible. Tony Orpheus’s death is not a flight of fancy. I know for a fact that he was scheduled to be murdered in Statesville. What? Oh, I how That’s what you know that. Roman told me, and since he hasn’t called me to tell me it didn’t happen, Q e d, it happened and he asks, with dread hurrying God’s name with Roman now.

Well, that was pian on her deathbed. Kate could foresee that you guys might take revenge on office and told you not to. No, not from her jet bed. She told me from her earth,

I have a delivery outback I gotta sign for here. Help yourself tomorrow. Coffee.

No, I think I’m stimulated enough over me.

Looks like I got the place all to myself. Yeah, that’s right. I’m all along with the earn. Alone with an inanimate piece of Potter

through which your dear Kate has been communicating with us from the afterlife. No, my Lord, it’s just when I thought life in Salem couldn’t get any stranger.

Well, my belief is that our husbands returned to their senses. Frightened the nick of time. Well, from your mouth to God’s ears now, maybe we should try to connect with them again. I could try to reach John, why don’t you try to connect with Roman first at work last time? Well, I suppose you mean I could give it a try?

Maybe the line’s still open. Maybe it would help us pass the time until Nick comes back and we find out that Jake talks him in to letting us return to our earthly bodies. Now they had problems in sound.

Those three women are still alive. Nick, both you and your boss know it. Yeah, but that’s a minor technicality. Really? Wow. I was just about to complete level 13 to hell with your video game. Yeah. It’s funny you mentioned the bad place because that is exactly where Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are going, and there is nothing that you can do about that Angel boy.

You can’t steal the souls of three innocent women because you hold a grudge against one. There are rules. Not down here. Besides, I loathe and despise Will Horton. He sort of helped ruin my life. Marlene is his grandmother, Kayla’s his aunt, so that little cupcake’s gonna be mourning them for the rest of his life.

Okay. Okay. Let’s just do it like you did last time. Okay. Just focus and relax. Think about Roman, how much you love him, how, how happy you are with him. How much you miss him. Yeah. You can do this. We have faith in you. Okay. Just stop. Okay.

Ramen. Ramen. Could you hear me? Ramen. Well, I hope you don’t get offended. Little earn, but since you’re not holding up your end of the conversation, huh? You know, I’ll just look. Roman, are you there? Roman? It’s me. It’s Kate. I need to talk to you.

Okay. Hello? Uh, well, Roman stepped out for a. Can take a medicine

So Kate spoke to Roman from her own and told him to call off a murder plot. Don’t you dare start making fun of earns. You know how I feel about that? Oh, I wouldn’t dream of making fun of hers. I toured Europe in.

you think you’re so dry and so Dr. That I don’t understand and that your cynicism goes right over my head. . Well, I don’t think that someone who’s twin brother came back from the dead twice. Has any business scoffing at talking errs? I’m calling the pub. Oh, to say hi to Kate for me, I’m calling to see if Roman got to Steve and John to stop them from killing Orpheus.

Yeah, he did. We didn’t kill Orpheus, but now we know it was a Dememer who ultimately killed Kayla, Marlene and Kate, and we’re here to find out which one it was.

So you’re telling us that RFI has told you that someone’s stole the author from Kristen, right? That sounds so implausible. I mean, Kristen, it’s not like her to have lax security. Well, you don’t think that we had anything to do? I mean, John, you know how much we loved Marlena Of course. And she was like a second mother to my Carey, and we certainly didn’t have any issues with Kayla or Kate.

Michelle, you, but your just, just slow down here. No one is accusing the two of you of anything. And we’re not saying this had anything to do with Kayla or Marlena or Kate as individuals. There’s an active revenge, which you have to admit, kind of runs in your family. Well, Tony’s not like that and you know it.

Oh, I do know that Steve and I both know that there are exceptions to the rule. Tony, you’re one of them. We just came here to ask you for your help to figure out which Dara it was.

Yeah. Please don’t act like you haven’t done something similar. Okay? You and your team snatched Bo Brady’s soul from his body before he was all the way dead, right? Hey, that was a mistake and we corrected it, and I’m asking you to do the same thing for Kate and her friends. You seem to care a great deal for Kay.

I understand you too. Knew each other in the biblical way when you two were on Earth. Huh? I’m not advocating for these women just because Kate and I had an earthy relationship. This is about right and wrong. Oh, okay. So you want me to make some grand active contrition? Is that right? No. I want you to think about Julie.

What? Julie Williams, the one person, whoever saw a shred of good in you who stuck by you till the end now past the end. Julie Williams who says a prayer for the repose of your soul every night who every year lights a candle on the anniversary of your death. Yeah. Wow. Julie always was sentimental, . She always loved you.

Nick,

what do you think? Julie’s gonna say when she joins us in heaven, and she realizes that even in the afterlife, and you are a nasty little man, that everybody was right about you and she was wrong. What do you think that is gonna do to her? Hmm.

But that’s right. You don’t care what anybody thinks about. Not even Jill Williams.

Paul. Paul Price, is that you? Yeah, it is me. And you are Kate? Yes, it’s Kate. Of course it’s Kate. What did you think? It was a robo. Oh, no. Need to get snippy with me. I’m mean, you not talking from an ear. It is a little disconcerting. Okay. Yes. Okay. I, I, I understand Paulina. I I need to talk to Roman. Is he there with you?

No, he stepped out. I can go get him. Wait, Paulina, I, I don’t know how much time I have left and I just, I need to get this message to Roman. Okay. It’s about, it’s about Orpheus. Did Roman, did they? No, no, no. They backed out of it. Office is still alive. Oh, thank God. Well, that is that why you reached out to ask about Oria.

Tell her, tell her what J said. Tell her. Tell her that he said that we were still alive. Try that part. Oh. Oh. So now you believe it. Oh, just tell her. Okay, honey, are you still there? Yes. Paulina. There’s a message that I need for you to get to Roman. It’s something that I think is going to be life changing for all of us.

Let me ask you this, given the fact that you were there to kill office, Don’t you think the sun revelation of a Mr. Damer could be something of a Hail Mary pass that’s from football? It means last ditch effort. Thanks. And you never put any stock into anything off officer said before this. Well, the fact is he told us that after we decided not to kill him.

Well, Kate will be so pleased to hear that, but he may be toying with you. Well, you know, at first I thought that. But I’ve known my little heart for years, so trust me when I say I’ve been toyed with this time, my gut says he was telling the truth. And that goes back to what I was saying before, it makes sense for a dememer to be involved.

Well, sadly, I see your point. I mean, some of the things Kristen has done are really mean, darling. Stephen John, don’t mean Kristen. What they’re saying is it’s a Demaris fault, which is what they always do. Uh, gentlemen, you know, you can believe whatever it is you want, but I’m not gonna help you in this witch hunt you want, aren’t your car?

Well, then I’ll have to ask you to leave. No, we’re not leaving. And if you don’t want to help, like John said, it’s your choice. But if you don’t, we’re gonna strip this Mali you call home right down to its foundation.

Juli isn’t wrong about you, Nick. You’re just what? Traumatized. Redeemable, please. You don’t end up where I ended up because you were misunderstood. Okay? I really am that bad. I read your file. Pretty terrible thing happened to you and no one seemed to care. You can say it down here, Jake, right? Ray. I was raped.

I was raped because you really did love Gavin. You were gonna care for her just like you were really gonna care for that little girl and you loved her. You were always trying to make things work. Don’t do this. Okay? It was bad enough having to live that life. I don’t need to hear it recap. No, but you need to think about it.

And you need to see how one bad decision kept leading to another and another. And you tried to control own every woman you ever loved, and they would slip away, everybody, I don’t need to hear this. And the whole time, Julie Williams never stopped loving you. She would’ve done anything. And not once did you give her a reason for all that love, but it is not too late.

Nick, do this one Good thing.

Do it for Julie.

Well, it would be an understatement to say, you have my attention. Okay. Paulina first. Tell Roman. Have, we’re all a lot. Uh, Kate. Say that again. You’re still what? Sorry, Kate dropped. Call Kate. I, well, I can’t hear you. You’re breaking up. You’re still, you’re still what? I’m afraid calls to earth are not allowed.

Okay. Well, we have to tell Roman and others that we’re still alive. I see. You took Jake at his word. Why wouldn’t we? Where is he anyway? Right here. Were you able to talk him into it? Are you gonna school home?

Okay. You broke up.

Hello, honey, you still in there?

Hold in there. What going on? I was talking to Kate and then just like that, she went all crackly and then she just stopped talking. Like she hung up, hung up. Oh. Well I guess if you’re talking from an ear, you wouldn’t say hung up, would you? So let’s just say she abruptly stopped talking to me. But you know what?

I don’t. I don’t. Think it was her choice, you know? Um, because she was trying to tell me something so I could tell you, and I could tell it was something really important. Urgent. What was it? Well, that’s what I’m saying. She didn’t get that far. See, she was in the middle of saying, tell Roman we still, and then she went crackly as if someone or something didn’t want me to hear the end of that.

You said it was urgent? Yeah. Well, you know, it’s not like she was calling from beyond the grave to say that, you know, they still waiting on their rooms or you know that there was a sale on hell or whatever. Oh, oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Roman. I’m sorry. Oh, I, I shouldn’t be making jokes, . Oh, but you know this, this really is, you know, there’s no word.

There’s no word for what it is, worthful. I know, I know, I know, I know. All right, calm back. Okay. Take a deep breath.

She was asking about, And I told her that you stopped. You stopped John and Steve and that they didn’t kill him. And oh, and Roman sh she was, that made her real happy. Good, good. I’m really glad you were able to tell her that. Me too. She was very worried about it. Okay, so the last thing she said was, tell him we’re still, then it went crackly.

What was she trying to tell me?

So, Nick, you gonna tell him, or should I just tell us? Well, the, the fact is there. There was a, a small slip up and, uh, in fact, perhaps your souls were harvested slightly prematurely. So, so Jake was telling the truth, and why are you admitting that? Yeah, you’re not exactly the type to come clean, so you’re going to let us go home.

Let’s just say Jake appealed to my better nature, which while rarely experienced. It does exist. Shall we get to go home? Yeah. And incidentally, you, uh, you shouldn’t remember any of this when you get back. Yeah. Well, I’m okay with that. I just wanna see my husband and family. Sorry to interrupt, but just a, a small point of clarification.

When I say home, I mean back to earth. So what happens with your souls when they’re reunited with your bodies really has nothing to do with us. I mean, you could find your way to the people that you love, or you could die instantly and end up right back here. So you need to decide if you’re willing to, to take that risk.

I am. And so say real

suit yourself. All you gotta do. Lets walk through those doors and your souls are re into your bodies. Let’s do it. Yes.

So it seems to me the only dememer who lives here who might have a motive would be ej. Even though you just trashed his room, you didn’t find. Now Tony, the boys were actually very neat. You know, Kate knew that it was Lucas that kidnapped Samantha, yet she just let him twist in the wind. It is tic way of saying that Kate let EJ go to prison even though she knew, Hmm, that a drunken son committed the crime.

Tony, alcoholism is a disease. Ste always said revenge was a dish best served cold. Can EJ listen to every word his old man said? Even if his wild speculation was. And skipping the fact that Kate exonerated, ej finally, Chad was just as guilty as Kate was. I mean, Chad testified against my brother and his brother, and EJ didn’t even go after him.

And Marlena was his kid’s grandmother and Taylor’s there. Great aunt. No, you he wouldn’t do that to his kids. Thank you. And he can’t be Johnny. No. He was bereft when his grandmother, Marlena passed and Chad was too. Kate was like a second mother to him. Okay, so let’s talk Stephan. Oh, he’s definitely sleazy enough.

Oh, now? Now, okay. I know no one wants to dread her up the past, especially now, poor Abigail is gone. But the fact that Stephan slept with her knowing full well that she wasn’t at her right mind. Well, that’s pretty damn sleazy. Okay. I agree. But under the heading. You know, people really can change for the better, which I do believe STE has.

Well, he’s been a lot more decent since he died and came back. And of course now he’s all caught up with Chloe and Gavin. Can we just stop dredging up at just the on point here Now, are there any more D mirrors floating around out there other than the ones we’ve covered here in Salem? Well, heavens say you can’t think it’s young.

She didn’t have a motive and Theo wouldn’t hurt a fly. That’s Stephen Hawk. No Benji’s son would never do anything to hurt Kayla. I know. I know Peter Blake well. He’s as lethal as he is dreamy.

Well, if you, if you like the strapping, hairy tie, but I personally like the Suave and Dier type myself. God knows that Peter Blake doesn’t have one redeeming quality, but he also doesn’t have a motive,

seems has gone through the whole family tree. Unless of course you wanna resurrect Father or Andre. Don’t even joke about.

Well, it seems that you’ve run out of Damaris.

Actually, no, no. There is one Damari we haven’t talked about yet.

I’m sorry, I, I couldn’t hear what I did. Kate was trying to tell me, but at least she knows that you stopped. You stopped Steven John from killing office. Right. And now, so now she can really rest in peace. Well that makes one of us, meaning I won’t rest in peace till I find out who did this to. And Kayla and Marlay.

But you do know it was obvious with a big assist from Kristen Orpheus claims it was another Dememer who stole the orchid from Kristen. Did he happen to mention that Dara’s first name? No, but that’s what John and Steve are trying to find out. So what are you two getting at? We’ve literally listed every living member of the family.

There are no more Demaris out. Unless you two know something, we don’t.

What’s that? That they say down on earth? Alls well that ends well. Hmm. Except for them, it’s not the end. It’s a new beginning. I just pray that their souls find their way back to. And to their families. Yeah, me too. You really mean that what you said. Uh, it’s sort of got to me only. Don’t tell anyone. Got an image To maintain be our secret.

Oh, and Nick, thank you. You are worthy opponent. Hmm. I look forward to locking horns with you again. Well, I don’t have horns, but, uh, maybe we’ll lock wings. . Yeah. Whatever.

None of them thought twice about walking through those doors, did they? No. Now I hope they don’t wake up to a fate worse than. Dammit. Answer her. What aren’t you telling us? Did father have yet another illegitimate child?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I am glad your father convinced you that violent trucks wasn’t his wish. We knew who did belong to. Okay, I’ll keep my eyes on yours open later. What the hell is wrong with you, ej? Father, long time no see.

So you think Stephan drugged you with that, but why? What in God’s name would make you wanna do that? That my dear is the burning question so much. Bitch, I did it. And this is not the Eric I know. Yeah. Well I guess Eric is finished posing his A saint coming in here and lying to us getting Rolf to sign that damn thing.

Yeah, I know. I know. Now we can finally navle. So I guess in the end it’s gonna be all right, Sam. Well will. So let’s put you in a better mood and turn this into an arrest. Go for it. Maybe you’ll put a smile on your face, which I haven’t seen in a while. And I do miss,

uh, Lee, Gabby, you know, I’m thrilled you took me up on the offer of my shares in d. But, but what? But not as thrilled as I am that you signed on to six more months of marriage. Which begs me to ask the question, do married couples really shake on deals? Shouldn’t we seal it with a kiss?

Where did you go, Eric? Only one way to find out,

and here he is. There he is. The patience.

One time he. I refuse to be roasts Guinea pig again.

It’s time to finish what you started, doctor. Now you made Stephan fall in love with Chloe again, so it’s time to undo it. Let’s go with English. Okay, your friend. And let me get a bird in edgewise on the way here. I could have saved us all in a lot of. Sorry, but I cannot help you

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

So you think s Stephan is drugging you? I’m quite sure of it actually. That’s a serious accusation, ej. And yet it solves a mystery. Don’t you see what mystery? Well, as you all know, I was feeling under the weather yesterday. Yes, that brain fog hit me again this morning and then today I gave that interview.

And the next thing I know, our stocks are in the toilet. I mean, that just doesn’t happen to me. I don’t slip up like that. No, you don’t. And it tongues out. There is a reason this gin when none other, why are you in that chair? I’m just installing some antivirus software. Mr. Damaris computer. The only extra protection this company needs is from incompetence.

Speaking of which, where is. Well, he is obviously not here. I just talked to his son who saw him at home, the coward. First, he takes the stock. Then instead of confronting the catastrophic mistake he did, he goes awol. Just as your brother has who used to be my eyes and ears here until he went off to fall in love, marriage or not.

This deal is strictly business. Wait, let’s not make this more icky than it already is. Pardon a man for holding on to hope. Meantime, you wanted this in writing. It’s all right here. Hang on. Gimme that pen. All right. Best this takes me off the market for the next six months. It also means that you must wear your wedding ring again.

Come on. Part of the deal. Fine. Whatever. I’ll wear the damn ring. May I? Place it on your finger.

Yes, yes, yes. See now people will see that you are off the mark. Yeah. Well, you know what? I don’t care if people see or think of this marriage made in hell. Doesn’t matter to me right now. Nothing matters to me other than me getting my shares. Okay, here you go. As long as you remain my lawfully wet or wife for six months, they’re all yours.

Otherwise, they revert to me. Now, all that’s left is for you to pack.

Are you too new with satisfied? This is a dumb idea to begin with. What do you, what do you mean there’s nothing you. You’ve done this twice already, under very specific circumstances. The first time I had state-of-the-art equipment, which is now halfway across the world, my second attempt was made using older, less reliable machinery that Ben up in smoke.

In the middle of the session you saying, you’re saying This man is gonna be perpetually in love with two women for the rest of his life. I’m not a miracle worker, you know? Well then maybe it’s time that you become one

you. Pineapple and pizza. Not gross after all. Hello. It would be much better if I was sharing it with you. Where’d you go? I just got an alert. Call me.

Rolf was freed. How the hell did that happen?

You want me to pack? If we’re gonna stay married, we have to be living together. Stipulation of the deal. Surely you saw it in the document. Should’ve read that thing more carefully. We have to be under the same roof. If I’m gonna have a fighting chance of winning you over, we can’t be at your house because I doubt your brother would tolerate that.

Oh, he’s gonna do a lot more than not tolerate it. He’s gonna kick you on your ass. Well, uh, I’ll find someplace cozy while you organize things on your end someplace for you and. Ariana n Nevermind Ari, she’s with Will and Sunny in New Zealand. Just in time to spare her from having to share a home with the likes of you.

Oh, uh, I see that New Zealand. Well that makes it a bit simpler, doesn’t it? Anyway, uh, this shouldn’t take long. I have great connections in local real estate. Fine. Probably should get outta that house. Everything’s not gonna be thrilled with me when he finds out I’m gonna deal with you.

What is it? Huh? Just thinking about the fallout when it becomes public that I have these, well, it’s nothing we can’t handle, I’m sure of that. So Lee and EJ are nowhere to be found, and meanwhile, millions are being lost. I’m here. Hello. Remember me, your precocious daughter with an amazing work ethic whose only fault is that she was for a female.

Oh, and other than feeling ignored and unappreciated, I’m doing fine by the way. Thanks for asking. I have more things on my mind, Jen, than stroking your ego. Now, I was in New York. When word of stoplight happened, I came here immediately, but I seem to be the only one concerned because no one in charge here is greeting me or explaining what the hell is happening.

Yeah, as I’m just pointed it out about two seconds ago, I’m here. I can tell you all about I new fire, raw Sarcas. In this dire situation, oh, we are missing Fairbanks. Are we genwen? Well, at least there’s one more co c o I can get answers from. Where’s E J’s brother? Where’s Stephan Damara? He’s not here either.

Okay. Set the time. The judge should have that arrest warrant for Lee very soon. And then justice for Ste demand and for my sister. How dare you set my client? Free A lawyer who wants her client locked up. That’s a first. As Dr. Rolf’s legal representative, everything has to go through me. I demand answers.

Why did you set him free and who paid his bail? Bail, . Uh, no counselor. Uh, Dr. Rolf is not out on bail. He’s out, period. You see, he signed his confession, which was a key element of the original plea agreement. And so he held up his end of the bargain and we held up ours. No, that’s, um, it’s, IM. He couldn’t have signed it.

Jada, would you be so kind as to get Ms. Peterson a copy, please? Mm-hmm. , just don’t bother. I have it right here.

Up. This guy’s a duplicitous swine. How am I being duplicitous? I’m only being honest about my limitations. I thought you didn’t have any limitations. You’re supposed to be some kind of a genius, but not a miracle worker, as I said. Okay, stop being so modest, Dr. Rolfe. You brought Stephan back from the dead.

Is that not a miracle?

And then you screwed with this man’s affections for the women in his life. And then you recently did it again. You’re telling me that you can’t go any further now. Why the hell not? You’re telling us that you have no more tricks up your sleeve. There’s no way to overcome this obstacle.

Come on. You know, somebody told me that Dr had lost his mojo. He’d laugh in his face, wouldn’t we?

Problem. Counsel, do you know how much trouble you’re gonna be in for accepting stolen materials and using them in an official capacity? How about you can just kiss that pension of yours? Goodbye. Stolen. Do you know what she’s talking about? It can hardly be considered stolen if your own employee brought it over to the signed, oh, Brady Black doesn’t work.

She wasn’t talking about Brady. She was talking about your paralegal. Eric, wait, what? And this is an interesting arrangement you two have. So is there paralegal on odd days in your boy toy on evenings? Well, I can’t say that I’m surprised. That the two of you treat this very serious matter the same way you treat your jobs as a joke.

When I’m done with you, you will not be laughing.

You seem mad to you.

We don’t have all day.

Hold this. I get the off Lion Wli. They operated in unusually high voltage. When I can divert to my purposes, that’s key.

Are you sure all this is gonna do it? What, what’s with the look? That look is one of disdain free, insulting question. And don’t say for one minute, I didn’t see Saru, your pathetic attempt to appeal to my ego before. You’re not answering my question. Fines answers yes. It’ll most likely ver most likely, most likely is not going to cut it.

This has to succeed. Are you sure there’s this, you don’t need anything else to make this work? Hmm. This, this and this. Just in case. And some clam chowder. Clam chowder. I’m starving. Make it snappy.

You know what this is, right? I do. I know. I know. It’s kidnapping an. Only worse. Stephan, you can turn me in after this is all said and done. But trust me, you’re gonna be thanking me when this is over. Oh, fat chance of that. You will. You and Gabby, you’re gonna be stuffing my Christmas stocking with Christmas presents for the rest of your life.

I’ll tell you exactly. You can stuff your stocking. I know it feels like I’m the villain here in this whole scenario, but trust me, at the end, I’m gonna be the hero in this whole piece. Hero. Yeah, you, no, you’re a selfish son of a bitch. Who’s stopping nothing to get me outta Chloe’s life. And once you are out of her life, you will realize that that’s what you wanted all along.

You just don’t know it yet.

I don’t get it. Ej. So Stephan drugged you to go on TV to hurt the company, but it’s his livelihood too. It just doesn’t add up. And how would he even manage to get away with it? He went at breakfast this morning. He offered me coffee, said that I needed caffeine if I was to be my best for the interview.

Later, he even tried to push a refill on me, but I had to get going. I remember feeling fine then, and then when it was time for the interview. Post hok. Go Proctor Hawk. What? He set me up. He made me look like a fool, like a moronic deck can instead of man steering the ship. Buty, we, we talked about this. You and Stephan are fine.

He forgave you for staying quiet. When you found out about what Lee and Kristen did to him, Unless he didn’t,

unless he didn’t actually forgive me and now he wants revenge.

No, Stephan either. Sorry, it’s God usually likes this. You in the recent state of affairs, I’m not entirely sure. Listen, I know I didn’t greet you properly and ask how you were doing Jimmy, but I do care even though I haven’t shown it recently, but all that has to wait until I deal with this mess. It all started with your Brothern, his unfortunate obsession with Gabrielle Hernandez, Gabby.

She’s actually okay. We funded. Become friends. Hmm. You’re never gonna choose your friends wisely. Now, excuse me, I’m going to tell my son exactly how disappointingly he has failed me.

Hi. What if I wore him first? Father was on the war path.

You must have thought this through, worked out all the angles, shrewd conniver that you are must have known that I was gonna go for it if you went to all the trouble of having these documents thrown up in advance. Scott’s motto be. , but even as I was working out all the angles as you put it, something was missing what you, you’re my X-factor.

I’m always better when we team out. That’s why I can’t let you go without a fight.

Go find us somewhere and live.

Okay. Ej, I’m, I’m trying to follow along, but there are a lot of ifs in everything that you’re saying. Stephan didn’t forgive you if he was okay with hurting the company, if he managed to spike your drink without you knowing the mimosa. I I thought you had coffee. No, no. That was, that was earlier today, I’m referring to a while back the morning after Stephan for me, in fact.

Come again. He wanted to toast to our nude sense of brotherhoodhood with Moses. I left for a moment to send the paperwork firing lead to the office. When I got back, he was gone. That was the day that Gabby snatched him and tried to undo Ralph’s programming. Oh yeah, I sure do. Remember that day. I came in and then we shared them with Moses instead.

Right. And wow, it is all coming back to me now. A a afterward, you nearly. Because I was feeling, I drank this spike mimosa Osa, oh my God. In mine, it didn’t mean like a a ton of bricks, and it was crazy because I knew it. I knew I wasn’t that much of a lightweight. Oh my God, your son of a bitch brother drugged us both.

We went over this at the park. I decide whom I love and whom I don’t. Not some whack job doctor in his stupid equipment. S. , I’m just trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Okay. You know the way he was before the happy Humpty Dumpty. The one woman man, Humpty Dumpty. Oh, one woman man. Right? Like, like you Brady.

Right? Let’s see, uh, I guess Chloe is one woman and so is Kristen. And, and, and, and Nicole. And you got Teresa. Yeah. No, no, no. You misunderstanding it. I’m, I’m talking about one woman at a time. Oh. So Brady Black, who has been in love with more women than anybody could count, draws the line of monogamy. Oh, for God’s sake.

What about what I want? Huh? Don’t I get a say in any of this? Ste. I don’t care what you do after this. All right? Do whatever you want. Be with Gabby. Don’t be with Gabby. Join a cult. Have 10 wives join a band. I don’t. I am going to be with Chloe. As soon as Rolf gets back. We’re gonna take the necessary steps to make that happen and to hell with what you want.

Hmm. This is for you? Hmm hmm. Smells delicious. That after you do your voodoo, let’s keep going.

You son of a bitch.

And not that there was any doubt before the Sloan was right. Eric pulled a fast when he stole that confession, brought it here for Ralph the Sun and yeah, she’s suspected. Brady did it. Well, yeah, for good reason. Brady’s crazy about Chloe and until. Unless Ralph can Deprogram Stephan, then he’s still fighting Stephan for her heart.

Sloan was right about one thing that Eric broke the law. Yeah. Impersonation, interfering with the police investigation. We might have to get a second warrant.

Yes. Got it Eric, we’ll have to wait. The warrant for LE is ready. Let’s go pay that man a visit, shall we,

Wendy? Gabby, Hey, you’re in a hurry. Where’s the fire? How, wait. In my brother’s room, what I came here for, Lee father’s in town. He’s looking for someone to take his anger out on and leaves an easy target. I’m thinking high ceilings, fireplace deck. You know what they say? Happy wife. Happy wife. Am I right?

Excuse me, Gabby. Did you forget something?

I’ll call you back. Father your misadventures with Stephan der. He’s paying dividends, but I am the one doing the pain. Uh, what are you talking about? What the hell do you mean? The stock could dive thanks to EJ Demaris stupidity and indiscretion. Oh, I, yes, I did see that. It’s what you don’t see, that’s the issue with you out of the mirror.

I have no one inside to do damage control. Uh, it’s a short term. I assure you, I’m in the process of setting things right and I could be back at the company very soon. And how do you figure that? Well, Dr. Rolf’s confession would give the authorities what they need to come after me, but I have an insurance policy, a great lawyer, and she’s keeping Rolf from signing the confession and locked away where he’s no longer an issue.

See, father, your worries are un. Everything’s coming together. I, I’m even getting things back on track with Gabby. I thought she washed her hands with you after the brainwashing. Oh, oh, well, we made a deal. I have six more months of marriage to make her love me again. And how much does this deal cost you?

Virtually nothing. Uh, I knew how to reel her in. Sign my Demer shares away. Cut it.

Someone wear big case . Doctor. I don’t know what Eric has told you, but he’s not to be trusted. He’s still documents from my briefcase. And you are the one who is not to be trusted. You are never really representing me, don’t you. Don’t be ridiculous. No. He’s gotten into your head. You kept be on ice because it served your purposes.

Yeah, this serves mine. You’re fired.

I para. Do you have any idea how much trouble this puts you in? Slow down. It doesn’t have to be ugly. The only reason why I’m helping my brother is you’ve refused.

Finally, where’s Eric detained? Oh, all right. Whoop. We might have to start without him. I don’t want someone discovering what we’re doing. I can only hope that you miserable pieces of, I still have somebody digging to do. Uh, are you really planning on reviving his brain with that junk? Well, len’s junk isn’t as a jewelry or IN’S case.

The tools for a scientific breakthrough.

Don’t worry. Just want her to

that. No good bastard. Mine scheming dirt bag. I get your anger, but you want Stephan’s target. You were merely collateral damage. Oh, I’ll show him collateral damage that he’ll never forget. Your brother needs to own up to both of us. Let’s go find that son of a bitch. Oh, I’m so.

Please not picking up. Sounds like your father got to him before you can. I guess I was only delaying the inevitable father does not quit easily. Oh, that must be where he gets it from. What do you mean?

Wait. You and Lee spent part of Valentine’s stay together. I was feeling kind of hopeful afterwards. Was he being too confident? Look, I don’t know if this answers your question, but I’m not divorcing him not for another six months anyway.

What the hell do you need? Those talks have incredible value, not to mention voting power, and yet you hand them. To stay married to a woman who hates you. That’s what the six month extension is all about, to win her back before she divorces me. But the shares, they’re the least of my problems. If Gabby and I stay married, what’s hers is mine, including those shares.

I know what I’m doing. Father,

you are always overly. And not very smart. A lethal combination. So your insurance policy has just been released, so you know what you’re doing.

You dug into my privileged files, took what you wanted. To help your brother and to hell with me. You betrayed me, Eric. Oh, that, that’s funny because that’s the word that I would use. The way you treated Dr. Rolf, you kept him from signing that confession to protect Lee sh. Right? That is so not the point.

Sounds like a confession to me. You’re not gonna get away with this. Dammit. And that sounds like a threat, a careful counselor. That is, if you enjoy having a law license.

You really gonna let him hook me up to that crap? Huh? What if he fries my brain? You gonna sit idly by while he turns me into a zombie? Think we need to trust in Ralph here. The man’s a coke, a lunatic. I resent that. What about you, Ralph? Come on E. Even you have to realize that these are less than ideal Condit.

What about the pride you take in your work? What about my father, Stefano?

What about him? You were always loyal to him Always. And him to you. How do you think he’d react? All this.

Hello, doctor. We both know that he’s gonna say just about anything right now to stop this because he’s terrified of losing. Chloe. You need to do what you do so brilliantly. You need to fix this, man. Come on, let’s finish this extraordinary work that you started.

Okay. I’m, I’m lost. I thought you wanted to get back at your brother. I do. I do. Most assuredly, but not without sufficient proof that he is culpable, that he was the one who drugged us. You were off on your interview and I was out of it when I drank one or two mimosas. Isn’t that proof enough? It’s a solid theory, but we need to take.

And get it analyzed. If it turns out to be what we assume we’ll have our confirmation and then we’ll go after it, right? No, not yet. The last thing we need is for s Stephan to know that we are onto him, but when I make move, I promise you he will not see me coming.

So when you agreed, was this all about just getting those shares or does my brother actually have a shot with you? Where does that leave stuff in? What is this 21 question? I’m just, I’m just trying to understand. Well, maybe I don’t understand it all on myself. Okay. If you would’ve asked me a month ago, I would’ve told you Lee burned all his ches.

It seems like that’s not the case, at least not with. Right. Well, you know, your, your brother keeps on showing me that, unlike Stephan, he loves me and only me with all his heart. And maybe, maybe he is right. Maybe we are sort of kindred spirits.

Come on, Sloan. Pick up voicemail. Damn it. What is going on? She said she had this all under.

Uh, sometimes being a cop has its purse.

Please shin my great pleasure to place you under arrest yet again for what you did to s Stephan Damira. But this timer. It’s for keeps.

Dr. Rolfe, I’m begging you, it’s not too late to stop this. Sorry, Stephan, I think your father would want you put back civilian.

Sounds like we’re back on track. How can I help?

Do you have any pictures of Chloe on your phone of fine am asking? Of course you do. Young people these days do nothing but take pictures of each other. But the vernaculars akin use are doing it for the Gram . Yeah. What, what, what do you want? What do you want me to do with this? Uh, connect it to that projector over his there.

So then turn it on when I give you the signal.

Nice.

Do it. Do it now.

Soon. Soon, baby. Soon.

I may not be in the legal field, but I know the conflict of interest, kind of like the one that you have with Dr. Rolf can land you into some serious trouble. So it seems that we’re at a standoff. We can both hurt each other or not. You’re only hurting yourself, Eric. I dunno what kind of madness is going on upstairs.

But you and me we’re through

maybe. You can go crawling back to Nicole. Oh, right. It all works. She’s already screwing EJ DIR five ways to Sunday. Enjoy that image in your head. You bastard

us. Excuse me. You said Stephan will never see you coming. He’ll never. Us coming that he lungs two, can play this game.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Steve found John at Marlena’s grave. John tried to figure out why a DiMera would steal the orchid in order to kill their wives. Steve said they had to find the one who did it. John said he knew where to start. John and Steve went to the DiMera mansion. They told Tony and Anna that they didn’t go through with killing Orpheus. They said a DiMera killed their wives. They said they were there to find out who did it. They needed Tony’s help. Tony said he wouldn’t help them and wanted them to leave. John and Steve refused to leave. They threatened to destroy the mansion if Tony didn’t help. They checked EJ’s room and decided he wasn’t the one who took it. They thought EJ, Johnny and Chad wouldn’t do it because they were connected to their wives. They talked about Stefan’s past with Abby, but Anna said he changed for the better. John and Steve realized there was one DiMera left they haven’t discussed. Tony and Anna said there weren’t any Dimeras left unless they knew something. Paulina checked on Roman to make sure John and Steve didn’t go through with the plan. Roman wanted to know how she knew about it. She told him she overheard Anna talking about it. He said they didn’t go through with it. She said it wasn’t what Kate would have wanted. He said Kate told him through the urn.

Kate reminded Marlena and Kayla that Jake said they weren’t supposed to be in the afterlife. Kayla and Marlena said Jake could have been an illusion like Susan, Jordan and Adrienne. Marlena said they had bigger things to worry about like their husbands succeeding in killing Orpheus. Marlena and Kayla suggested that Kate reach out to Roman to see if they went through with the plan. Jake told Nick to send the women back to earth. Nick said he wouldn’t do it because he still hated Will. He said Will would be mourning his aunt and grandmothers for life. He reminded Jake that he and his crew did the same thing by taking Bo’s soul before he was dead. Jake said it was a mistake they fixed. Jake asked Nick to think about Julie. He said she was the only who cared about Nick. Jake wondered how Julie would feel when she got to heaven and found out Nick was still evil and that everyone was right about him. Jake asked what he thought that would do to her. Nick tried to hold on, but Jake told him to send the women back. Kate called out to Roman. Paulina was able to hear her. Paulina told her Roman was out. Kate said she didn’t know how much time she had. She asked if Orpheus was killed. Paulina told her he wasn’t. Kate told her to tell Roman that she, Marlena and Kayla were still alive. They connection ended. Nick and Jake showed up. The women asked if they were going home. Nick said Jake appealed to his better side that still exists. He said they were going home, but they wouldn’t remember what happened in the afterlife. He said who knew what would happen when their souls went back to their bodies. He said they could end up dying and coming right back. They said they were willing to take the risk. Jake opened the door so they could go through it. When the women left, Nick told Jake that he hoped they wouldn’t face something worse than death. Tony wanted to know who the other DiMera was. John told him about Megan. In the lab, Megan looked at Kate, Marlena and Kayla. They opened their eyes.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Oh, , you’re someone who wasn’t feeling good earlier, you know, certainly seem to have a lot of, um, energy . Thanks to you, me. Mm-hmm. , all I did was wow. . Exactly.

Oh.

I’m certainly feeling better than I did earlier when I was giving that interview this morning. I, I felt like I was in this utter fog, like I’d completely lost my filter and, um, I was just blurting out the first thing that came to my mind. But I’m glad that I’ve gotten over that because I could have just, uh, Could have just what?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Is there, is there something you’re not telling me?

Yes there is.

It’s about Eric. You wanna see Dr. Ralph ? Yeah. Well too damn.

Would you set your first on dislikes from the inside or once? Dr. Also allowed visitors just like any other prisoner. You can’t deny me access for no reason. Eric Rafe is the police commissioner. He doesn’t need a reason to stop you from seeing a prisoner. Louis says, goes, mm-hmm. damn straight. Now you’ve got me curious.

Why are you so damn eager to see Ralph?

What do you mean Chloe’s not coming a text. You got about meeting her here. How do you know about that? She didn’t send it. I did.

Wait. You’re not just gonna sign over Your dememer shares out of the kindness of your heart. What’s the catch? There’s no catch. It’s my Valentine’s Day gift to you, and after everything I put you through, it’s the least I could do to show you I’m serious about atoning for my sins. I, I know how much these shares are worth, and I know how much money means to you, not as much as you do.

You stepped on that? Yeah. Yeah, I was just laying right here. Wait, look, it is, well,

based on the color consistency of the residue, I, it could be some kind of drug. Yeah, for sure. Given the fact that there’s no label, I’m guessing it’s an illegal one.

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

Are there any projects that Dara you’re aware of that that would involve executives turning ground piles of a suspicious looking. Not a one. Maybe you should just put back where you found it. Can’t do that. This is my family’s company. Damara has a zero tolerance policy on drug use. So if somebody who works here is using, they need help.

Okay, let’s. Not jump to conclusions, we should probably send it to the lab to have it analyzed. Okay. And then what? What if it comes back as like fentanyl or something? Then what do we say? No, no. We have to figure this out without anybody else knowing. But you’re talking about investigating this ourselves.

Not like we haven’t done it before. Yeah, but Johnny, it’ll be really hard to figure out who. Other people came in here too to drop off packages or whatever. Yeah. But I can’t imagine something like that was just laying around on notice for long. So was anybody else in here when you came in,

just your uncle stuff in,

how did you send the text? It came from her phone. I used a burner phone to Spoo her number. Okay. This is, this is. Why did you have to lure me here if you wanted to talk to me? Wait a minute. I haven’t spoken to Chloe soon. Is she okay? Stephan? Chloe’s fine. Physically, she’s fine emotionally, not so much cuz of you.

Listen, I know you don’t want to hear this right now, but I’m gonna say it to you. The time has come for you to get Chloe out of your head once and for all.

I don’t owe you any explanation, but maybe if you can explain to Commissioner Hernandez why you wanna see Dr. Rolf. Can you, or maybe not. Here’s what I’m thinking. You blame Dr. Raw for the virus that resulted in Marlena’s. Which is a terrible tragedy, and you and your family have our deepest sympathy. You need your sympathies.

You coming in here and acting all squirrely about why you want to see a prisoner you barely even know, makes me think that you got some sort of vigilante justice in mind, which is not happening on my watch.

Are you serious? Lying next to me in bed right now thinking about Eric . Wow, I have lost my touch. Oh, you most emphatically have not, and to put ’em all accurately, I’m lying next to you wondering if your. Thinking about Eric. Oh, right. We said that we would take things one day at a time, see what happens.

See where it led to the things heated up rather quickly when we ran into Eric and his current para on Valentine’s Day, and so I can help at Wonder Day if that didn’t happen. Would you be in my bed right now?

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, Gabby. Don’t hide behind a lay mask. Cliche. Lee, please just take the shares. I feel I’m putting my money where my mouth is. Quite literally, you will, you expect me to believe that you want nothing for me in return. Whoa. Maybe there is one small thing.

Where is this coming from? I, it’s not like we just. Fell into bed outta nowhere. In fact, we would’ve been here sooner if you hadn’t put the brakes on because you were drunk. Oh, I didn’t have that much to drink. But you were blinded by rage over Eric and Sloan’s relationship just like you were yesterday.

Did you see a common thread here?

I suppose you’re right. If Eric hadn’t jumped into Sloan’s bed, I probably wouldn’t be in your bed right now.

Are you serious? You’re not gonna let me see Dr. Walt, because your personal grievances against me. Try listening. Eric, if you had then you’d have heard that. I have reasons that I have concerns about you seeing that guy so great. You’re gonna start power tripping. I am doing my damn. That’s it. There’s one person and one person only, but I am required to allow access to Dr.

Ruff. That’s his attorney. But you are not. No, but I work for her.

My feelings for Chloe are none of your business. Actually they are. You know, she fled town because of you. What? She was understandably shaken when you claim to love both her and Gabby at the same time. I didn’t claim to love anyone. I really do love her. Yeah, in a very half-assed and insane way. Listen, if you truly love her, if you care about her, you will let her go.

Oh, so you can have her, right? Because that’s what this is about. That’s about you. This is about not squandering any more precious time with this insanity, okay? And yes, this is also about not worthy screwing up things from me and Chloe and yourself, by the way. What a load of crap. I beg your pardon? Oh, you tell me.

There’s no catch that you’re giving me your shares as a Valentine’s Day gift, and now you say that you need one small thing as if that’s not a catch. Hmm. I suppose it’s okay. Well out with it. What the hell is this one small thing. Stay married to me.

Do you think this could be your Uncle sts? I don’t know. I mean, he has been kind of a hot mess since Ralph screwed with his brain.

Maybe what, what could this be part of Dr. Ross’s Unbrainwashing regimen? Doubtful. Um, you know, Ross’s in jail now, right? And Stephan wants nothing to do with him or his experiments. And besides Stephan’s, personal life might be a dumpster fire, but. As far as being c e o at Damer goes, he is completely on top of his game.

I mean, he even cleaned up the mess after my dad.

Wait a minute. What? What are you thinking? My dad wasn’t feeling well yesterday or this morning. He’s been so distracted at work that he lets sensitive information slip to the press, I mean, caused the stock price to plummet. Yeah, I heard about that.

But you’re not saying, I wonder if it’s possible my dad could be using.

I’ve upset you. Well, it doesn’t do much for my ego. I’ll admit that. Knowing that you only moved on with me because you saw Eric. Move on with Sloan is No, no. That is not the only reason. Ej look, if I really wanted to hurt Eric with revenge sex or whatever, I would’ve slept with his brother instead of you.

Is that supposed to make me feel better? Oh, yes. Look, I, I’m just, I’m just saying Brady and I have a past too. Okay. And. If I really, really wanted to hurt Eric and inflict maximum damage, I would be in Brady’s bed instead. It sounds like you could be if you wanted to. No, no. That, that, that’s, it’s not what I mean, and I, I, I couldn’t be with Brady now even if I wanted to, and I emphatically do not.

And he is in love with my best friend, and I really do hope that that Chloe and Brady get back together and get Stephan out of the picture so they can finally be happy. Okay? Okay.

Okay. . Hey. I’m not the only one here who’s confused about his feelings as it slipped your mind. Why Chloe was available in the first. That you are the one who broke her heart when you got back together with my sister. I had no choice in that matter. So you say, but maybe that’s why Chloe left town. Maybe this has nothing to do with me and everything to do with you.

No. It has everything to do with you. Okay. Uh, the point is your sudden polyamorous insanity. Has made everybody miserable. Okay? Chloe’s miserable. Gabby is miserable. You are miserable. And that’s what this is about. Are you really comfortable with just stringing these two women along? Man, I’m not. Is that what you wanna do?

Anybody along? I have been completely honest with both of them. If you, if you were being completely honest, you’d be able to tell them that you are a shallow man at is having trouble deciding which woman he loves more. You gotta get this through your head. Chloe would’ve never given you a second look if I hadn’t been forced to break up with her.

She loves me and she’s finally gonna, she’s finally gonna realize that once you leave her the hell alone, our relationship is the best that we both have ever had, like yours and Gabby. I know you love Gabby. I just think she’s a little too smart to be hanging onto a guy who’s constantly thinking about another woman while he professes his love to her.

See, that’s where you’re wrong. Gabby is gonna wait as long as it takes because I am the one true love of her life. You keep this up, man. You’re gonna be the biggest mistake of her life. I happen to believe you already are

something small. Well, I, I, I don’t wanna know what you consider big. I’m not gonna say married to you after what you did to, to me, to Stephan. I’m not accepting your lousy bribe, and I am certainly not gonna give up my soul or anything else for some demer shares and, and a vote on the board, nothing.

Nothing is worth that. If you would just hear me out, who the hell is your pride? Why would you wanna stay in a loveless marriage anyway? It is not a loveless marriage. I love you very much. And didn’t you love me when you agreed to marry me? I love the man I thought you were. I love the woman. I know you are.

You deserve these shares. And you also deserve a man who thinks you hung the moon, who loves you and only you. I’m not discussing this with you again. You were quite eager to discuss it last night after Stefan called you Chloe, in an intimate moment. You came running over here to me to remind yourself what it feels like to be truly wanted and cherished.

I came here to discuss our divorce. Then why’d you stay for dinner? Please stop blaming Stephan for something that is your fault. After Rolf is done with him, he’s gonna forget hold about Chloe. Are you sure about that? All Rolf did was reinforce feelings. S Stephan already had. Remember he was with Chloe.

Before you stop it, stop trying to convince me that he doesn’t love me. I never said that he does love you. He’d be a fool not to, but I love you more. You don’t know the meaning of that word. Then let me prove to you that I do. That’s impossible. Six months, Gabby, just six months to remind you of our love and to change your mind about divorcing me.

What the hell are you talking? Ms. Peterson hired me as a paralegal. Really? Why? What are your qualifications for that? As a former priest, he required a broad skill set. Yeah. Like maintaining celibacy. Failed at that one. Eric, when did you start working with Sloan? I needed a job after I quit Basic Black, which he did because of.

Ms. Peterson, I, we’ve become close. Close. I’ll take it. That’s a euphemism. My personal life is irrelevant to the issue at hand, which is these Ms. Peterson asked me to have Dr. Ralph look over them. I can’t. I would be in violation of attorney-Client privileges, as you should know. So I’m gonna try this again.

As Dr. Ralph’s legal of Representation. I’d like to see the good doc. Now

look, I know you don’t like Eric, but if you deny the access to counsel, then Case thrown out. And there’ll be no way for you to corroborate your sister’s statement about Lee Shannon. I mean, do you really wanna take that chance? Well, what’s gonna be brave?

You have.

Stay married to a disgusting creep like you Are you crazy? Please let me finish my request before you turn me down. These shares will give you a foot in the door at Dara. You can use them to lay down the groundwork to get rid of ej, especially given the recent slipups he’s made. The company needs you, Gabby, and I know you wanna be back in charge of Dara Stephen’s already.

Co c o. Once we get back together, we’re not gonna need your stinking chair. Together. We’ll run Dara, how we’ll run the world unless he wants to run it with Chloe Lane. Nice. I’m sorry, I, I, I take that back. If, if you do end up with Stephan when. If, when, whatever, wouldn’t you be in a much better position to run the company with one more board vote in your pocket six months, Gabby.

That’s all I’m asking for. If at the end of that time you’re still bound and determined to get a divorce, you can keep the shares and get rid of me and, and you’re free and. Doesn’t that sound like an offer you can’t refuse?

You know, Gabby, uh, she, she’s probably the least patient person on the planet. I don’t think she’s gonna be putting up with this kind of behavior for much longer. I mean, why, why should she? What woman would Stefan, I know you don’t want to lose her. Not after everything you two have been through, right? No, I don’t.

Good. I don’t wanna lose Chloe either. Wow. Look, Brady, listen to me. I, I can’t just forget my feelings for Chloe. And even if I wanted Rolf to finish deprogramming me, he’s. So there’s nothing Rolf can do to get Chloe outta my head. Well, I wouldn’t worry about that. I’m working on that as we speak.

Eric Brady. It was a pleasure. I brought you Someon.

This is my statement about Lee. Kristen instructing me to Brainwash Stephan Damara. That’s right. Do you know why you’re still sitting here? Because you didn’t sign the statement? My lawyer advised me not. She said admitting my guilt would be a terrible mistake that Lee and Kristen would come after me if I were to provide evidence against him.

Kristen is in prison. And to be honest with you, I believe your attorney gave you some truly lousy advice. What do you know about it and how did you get that? Well, I know you did your best to save my mother with her. I wanna do something for you in return

Well, I have reason to believe that your attorney is taking her order submission. She’s working for Lee too. That’s right. Which means she has a major conflict of interest where you’re concerned. The reason why she prevented you from signing that statement is because her other client would be screwed. I need to speak with Ms.

Peterson. Do you believe that your attorney is going to tell you the truth if she’s taken her orders from me? Do you want to get outta here? Of course, but DA trash already signed off about your plea deal before you changed your mind about signing. No one ever told me is that if you don’t believe me, you can talk to trash yourself, but if you sign that.

I can have you released immediately.

You only think your father might be doing trucks. I don’t know. He never seems to have any kind of problem. He does drink a fair amount. I called Damaris. My grandfather used to say that our blood was halfa,

but, but what did used to sell drugs years ago. But are you serious? It’s not like he was like a, a corner dealer or anything, but yeah, he got mixed up with this. Uh, Clyde Weston. He was, he was really bad news. Clyde Weston. Isn’t that the man who killed your Aunt Abigail? Yes. So you’re saying your dad wasn’t really a dealer, he was more like a kington.

Oh, I don’t, I don’t know. Okay. I, I was just a kid. All right. I, I, I, I, I don’t think that he ever would’ve used, but I don’t know for sure. I mean, look, he’s, he’s, he’s been going through a hard time lately with my, my mom, my aunt Bell, especially on top of the fact that he, he lost my grandmother. I mean, that could explain some of the behavior been displaying.

What are you gonna do?

I’m gonna talk to him. What? You’re just gonna point blank. Ask him if he’s using, and even if he is, do you really think he’d tell you the truth? I don’t know. All right. I don’t know. But one way or another, I’m gonna find out. Just keep this to yourself for now. Of course. Thank you.

Uh, you are pile of me. If I’m not rooting for Brady and Chloe to get back together, that would free up Gabby and Stephan to resume their alliance. , which would be an utter disaster for me and for the mirror. You can handle it. You’ve done it before. Yeah. Look, I, I, I just, I think the two of them, they’re, well, they’re destiny.

You know, Mike, you and Eric,

I used to think.

But the truth is, I think you and I are more compatible than Eric and I are. You know, you, you accept me for who I am, and you don’t make me feel guilty, and obviously I’m extremely attractive to you.

As I am to you,

that’s what gives me pause.

Come on, we said we were going to see where things led, and under normal circumstances, casual sex is fine.

But I don’t think that works for the two of us. Not anymore. Why not? Cause of our history. There are feelings here that are being reawakened, so if what you want is a little fling with no strings. It’s probably best that we put an end to this now.

Ah, are you saying you’re ending things with me? No, no, no. Not at all. It’s.

As I said before, for me, this, this just can’t be a, a fling. Yeah.

Yeah. I, uh, I get that and I agree that there are feelings because of our history.

And what do you say? That we enjoy the ride

and we see where things go.

Wow. Um, I like that idea very much. Yeah. Okay.

Hi. Hi. Uh, I’m sorry. I’m gonna come back later. No, no, no. Johnny, it’s, it’s okay. You, you can come. Do you seem him upset? What’s wrong? Yeah. Dad, is this yours?

You can’t be serious. You were telling me to release Dr. Wolf.

I’ll call you back. What the hell did you do? What’s going on? You got Dr. Rolf to sign the statement that he’s been refusing to sign for weeks, the one that his attorney talked him how to signing. You’re welcome. Lied to us senior. He lied to us. You’re not really working for Sloan.

You up to?

Okay. What do you mean you’re working on it? Listen to me. The last time Wolf tried to put me back the way I was, his equipment malfunctioned. I could literally feel my brain frying. I was almost a dead man. Again, I have no intention of repeating that experience. You know that you can’t continue to go on this way, right?

Maybe. , but my feelings for Chloe are real and I intend to work through them naturally. Stephen, how you, how you gonna do that? Huh? She’s not even in town. What is this interest that you have to keep her pinned to you? Mm-hmm. , I suppose I could ask you the same thing because let’s be honest, we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place if you hadn’t dumped Chloe for Kristen.

You’re missing my point. The point that I’m trying to, my point is that whatever plan you seem to have with Rolfe to screw with my mind, Forget about it. Goodbye.

Where did you find that? It’s on the floor. It’s your office. Is it yours? No. You sure? Of course. I’m sure. What is it? Some sort of Alyssa substance I would assume. So I had to ask after everything that happened at the press conference this morning. Okay. My phone may have been a little off. It was a little more than that.

Dad, you were way off the rail. And look, I, I understand. Okay. I get it. You’re going through a hard time ever since Grandma Susan died, and I know that you blame yourself for what happened to her. I did. Yes, I did. And I still do. But that doesn’t mean I’ve resorted to taking drugs. Ej, Johnny’s just worried about you.

Yes, of course. Um, let me take a look at that.

That’s very strange.

Yeah, yeah, it is. Giovanni, look at me. I know firsthand the terrible harm that drugs can do. Lord knows I’ve lectured you enough on, you certainly have. I may be far from perfect, but I am not a hypocrite on this issue. Let me be perfectly clear. I am not using, I never have used, and I never will.

Good, good. All right. Well, Hope you’re not upset with me for asking. I’m not. You did exactly the right thing and I’m glad you felt you could come to me and ask,

you know that I am telling the truth on this because it is the truth. Oh, well that’s a, that’s a huge relief.

Sorry man. I wanted to do this the easy way, but you were one stubborn sob.

I don’t trust you, Lee. This offer sounds too good to be true. It’s gonna be a hard no for me. Well, there’s something you haven’t considered. My attorney told me I could drag this divorce out for years. Come on. You said you worked at a contestant. I’m not going back on my word, but there are delicate financial matters concerned in dissolving our marriage a lot that needs to be sorted and clarified, and in fact, if I wanted to, I could make this process take a lot longer than six months.

So you’ve got nothing to lose by going along with my proposal, unless of course you’re afraid. Open yourself up again. There is nothing that you can do or say to get me to stay in this marriage. Fun. Then in six months, you’ll be single and rich, and if Wolf’s outta prison and help Stephan get over Chloe.

By then the two of you can live happily ever after.

Ah, at last, goodbye, commissioner. It’s a pleasure doing business.

Once now as I get back to my laboratory chow not so fast, doctor.

I can’t believe the way Eric just came in here and lied to us the way he did. I have to assume that he had good reason. Why would you assume that? Father Eric left his halo behind a long time ago. Look, I know you may hate the guy for what he did to your marriage. He’s not my favorite person either, but the two of us have made our peace, and I recommend you do the same.

Don’t let him get under your skin too late. Too late, whatever. Eric’s reasons were he delivered on everything, didn’t he? Rolf is out of jail. He can be programmed. Stephan. It’s what Gabby’s been begging. And now we have hard evidence against Lee.

Actually, you’re right. Yeah. Let’s get that SOB in custody before we can hurt my sister again. You have to admit it’s a sweetheart of a deal. You’re too good at businesswoman to turn it down. I won’t. You won. I won’t walk away. I’ll take the deal. You won’t regret it, but I want it in writing. Six months shares divorce.

All right here. But for now, let’s, um, seal the deal with, uh,

Handshaked.

Hey, uh, my dad said the vial wasn’t his and you believed him. My father is a first class liar, but I’m pretty good at reading him, and he was shocked when I asked him the question and he seemed genuinely upset that I would even think that he was using so, Yeah, I believe him.

If Johnny found that in the office that you share with Stephan and it’s not yours, do you think Stephan could be taking drugs?

Is dreading me.

Where the hell am I? You are in my brother’s room at the Brady Pub. It was not fun carrying your heavy ass up those stairs either. Why? What am I doing here?

All your questions are about to be answered.

I am glad your father convinced you that file of trucks wasn’t his wish. We knew who it did belong to. Okay, I’ll keep my eyes on yours open later. What the hell is wrong with you EJ Father? Long time no see.

So you think Stephan drugged you with that, but why? What in God’s name would make you wanna do? That my dear is the burning question so much. Bitch. I did it and this is not the Eric I know. Yeah. Well I guess Eric is finished posing his A saint coming in here and lying to us getting Ralph to sign that damn thing.

Yeah, I know. I know.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Anna enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and takes the newspaper from Tony. Anna searches the paper and comments on not finding anything about the death of Orpheus. Tony questions why she would think he is dead.

Paulina goes to the Brady Pub and asks Roman to join her for coffee. Roman comments on it not being too busy right now and asks if she’s okay. Paulina says she dropped by to tell him about her problems and says she knows 200 people are thinking of and praying for him. Paulina adds that she came by because she’s worried about him, John, and Steve. Roman tells her to say what’s on her mind. Paulina wants to make sure they didn’t kill Orpheus.

Steve joins John at Marlena’s grave. John thought maybe he could make sense of what Orpheus told them about a DiMera stealing the orchid because the only reason to do that is to make sure that Kate, Kayla, and Marlena died. John declares that they have to find that son of a bitch and make them pay.

Marlena, Kayla, and Kate remain in the afterlife. Kayla tells Kate to lighten up because they are in Heaven but Kate complains that they are not supposed to be here like Jake said.

Jake interrupts Nick playing a video game in the afterlife. Jake tells Nick that he made a mistake and he needs to send Marlena, Kate, and Kayla back to Earth but Nick says no.

Roman questions how Paulina found out about their plan to kill Orpheus. Paulina tells him that she overheard Anna but assures that the secret is safe with her. Paulina worries about word getting out of the death of Orpheus. Roman reveals that John and Steve did not kill him. Paulina is relieved and says she knows he deserved it but it’s not what Kate, Kayla, and Marlena would have wanted. Roman responds that he knows that because Kate told him that.

Kate reminds Kayla and Marlena that Jake told them they are still alive and asks if they aren’t curious if that’s true or not. Marlena explains that they are having a hard time believing that what Jake said is true. Marlena wonders if Jake wasn’t just another Devil’s illusion so she’s not sure they can trust him. Kate questions her not having faith. Marlena knows Kate wants to believe it is true. Marlena questions how they can be alive if they are not on Earth. Kate says all she knows is that none of this makes sense so she’s going to cling to the hope that it’s true. Kayla questions where Jake is now since he proclaimed they are alive but then disappeared with Nick. Marlena suggests they are hashing out their fates, but notes they have another issue at hand. Marlena says John and Steve were out to kill Orpheus and if they succeeded, they have to decide what happens now.

Steve wonders if this is another mind game of Orpheus. John says this time, his gut is telling him it’s no game and he’s telling the truth. Steve remarks that there’s a first time for everything. John says it makes a weird kind of sense that a DiMera would be involved since their thirst for payback didn’t end with Stefano. Steve says they need to find out which one it was and John feels they know exactly where to start.

Anna tells Tony that there is nothing about the death of Orpheus in the news. Tony suggests that’s because he hasn’t died and Anna has transformed her wishful thinking in to delusion. Anna insists that she knows for a fact that Orpheus was scheduled to be murdered in prison. Tony questions how she would know that. Anna then reveals that Roman told her and since he hasn’t called to tell her it didn’t happen, that means it happened. Tony then questions how Roman would know.

Paulina asks Roman if he means Kate told him not to kill Orpheus on her deathbed. Roman then clarifies that she told him from her urn. Roman gets a message that he has a delivery to go sign for in the back. Paulina comments that she has the Pub all to herself then and that she’s all alone with Kate’s urn. Paulina questions Kate communicating with them from the afterlife just when she thought life in Salem couldn’t get any stranger.

Kate believes their husbands returned to their senses just in time. Marlena suggests trying to connect with them again. Kayla suggests Kate try connecting with Roman again since it worked last time. Kate agrees to give it a try as she hopes that Jake talks Nick in to letting them return to Earth.

Jake argues with Nick that the three women are still alive. Nick calls it a minor technicality. Jake stops Nick from playing his video game. Nick tells Jake that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are going to Hell and there’s nothing he can do about it. Jake argues that he can’t steal the souls of three innocent women because he holds a grudge against one of them. Nick says there are no rules and adds that he despises Will for ruining his life and Marlena is his grandmother and Kayla his aunt, so Will can mourn them for the rest of his life.

Kayla encourages Kate to focus and think about her love for Roman. Marlena adds that they have faith in her. Kate then begins trying to speak to Roman.

Paulina begins hearing Kate’s voice through the urn, calling out to Roman and saying she needs to talk to him. Paulina tries responding and says that Roman stepped out for a moment and asks if she can take a message.

Tony questions Anna telling him that Kate spoke to Roman through her urn to stop the murder plot. Anna brings up Tony’s twin brother coming back from the dead twice. Anna decides she’s going to call the Brady Pub to see if Roman got to Steve and John to stop them from killing Orpheus. Steve and John then arrive and confirm that he did and they did not kill Orpheus. Steve then reveals that now they know it was a DiMera who ultimately killed Kayla, Kate, and Marlena. John adds that they are here to find out which one it was. Tony questions them saying that Orpheus telling them that someone stole the Orchid from Kristen. Anna calls that implausible since it’s not like Kristen to have lax security. Tony asks if they think they had anything to do with it, talking about how much they love Marlena and not having any issue with Kayla and Kate. They explain that they aren’t accusing them or saying it has anything to do with Marlena, Kate, and Kayla as individuals, but it was an act of revenge which runs in the DiMera family. John says they came to ask for their help in figuring out which DiMera it was.

Nick tells Jake not to act like he hasn’t done the same thing, bringing up that Jake and his team snatched Bo Brady’s soul from his body before he was fully dead. Jake responds that was a mistake and they corrected it, so now he’s asking Nick to do the same thing for Kate and her friends. Nick questions Jake caring a great deal for Kate. Jake says he’s not advocating just because he had a relationship with Kate and that this is about right and wrong. Jake tells Nick to think about Julie, the one person who ever saw good in Nick and stuck by him until the end. Jake adds that Julie prays for Nick’s soul every night and lights a candle every year on the anniversary of his death. Nick remarks that Julie always was sentimental. Jake argues that Julie always loved him. Jake asks what he thinks Julie will say when she joins them in Heaven and realizes that even in the afterlife, Nick is a nasty little man and everybody was right about him while she was wrong. Jake asks what he thinks that will do to Julie. Jake guesses Nick doesn’t care what anybody thinks about him, not even Julie.

Kate asks if she’s hearing Paulina which she confirms. Paulina is uncertain about talking to an urn. Kate says she needs to talk to Roman. Paulina mentions that he stepped out and she can go get him but Kate doesn’t know how much time she has, so she needs to get a message to Roman about Orpheus. Paulina confirms that they backed out and Orpheus is still alive. Paulina asks if Kate reached out to ask about Orpheus. Marlena and Kayla urge Kate to tell Paulina about what Jake said about them still being alive. Kate questions them believing it now. Paulina asks if Kate is still there. Kate tells Paulina there’s a message that she needs to get to Roman that will be life changing for all of them.

Tony questions believing Orpheus since they’ve never put any stock in to what he’s said before. Steve reveals that Orpheus told them this after they decided not to kill him. Tony thinks he could be toying with them. John says he’s known Orpheus for years and his gut says he was telling the truth. Steve repeats that it makes sense for a DiMera to be involved. Anna sees his point with some of the things Kristen has done. Tony argues that they always say it’s a DiMera’s fault. Tony tells John and Steve that they can believe what they want but he’s not going to help them in their witch hunt. John says it’s his call. Tony asks them to leave but Steve says they’re not leaving. Steve repeats that it’s Tony’s choice not to help while John warns that if he doesn’t, they will strip the DiMera Mansion right down to it’s foundation.

Jake tells Nick that Julie isn’t wrong about him. Nick argues that you don’t end up where he did from being misunderstood and he really is that bad. Jake says he read Nick’s file about how a terrible thing happened to him and no one seemed to care. Nick acknowledges that he was raped. Jake talks about how Nick did love Gabi. Nick doesn’t want to hear his life recapped. Jake wants Nick to see how one bad decision kept leading to another and he tried to control or own every woman he loved, but the whole time Julie never stopped loving him and would’ve done anything for him without reason. Jake says it’s not too late. Jake tells Nick to do this one good thing and to do it for Julie.

Paulina tells Kate that she has her attention. Kate tries to instruct her to tell Roman that they are all alive but Nick cuts the connection. Paulina complains that she can’t hear her and only heard her say that they are still. Nick tells Kate that calls to earth are not allowed. Kate argues that they have to tell Roman and the others that they are alive. Nick questions them taking Jake at his word. Jake then returns as well. Kate asks if Jake talked Nick in to letting them go home.

Paulina continues trying to get through to Kate and tries knocking on the urn until Roman comes back and asks what’s going on. Paulina tells him that she was talking to Kate and then it was just like she hung up. Paulina doesn’t think it was by choice because Kate was trying to tell her something to tell Roman and she could tell it was something really important and urgent. Paulina says she was in the middle of it until it was like someone or something didn’t want hear to hear the end of the sentence. Paulina says she has no words for this. Roman encourages her to breathe. Paulina states that Kate asked about Orpheus and she told her that Roman stopped John and Steve from killing him which made her real happy. Roman is glad that Paulina was able to tell her that. Roman wonders what Kate was trying to tell him.

Jake asks if Nick is going to tell them or if he should. Nick responds that there was a small slip up so perhaps their souls were harvested slightly prematurely. Marlena realizes that Jake was telling the truth then and questions Nick now admitting that. Kayla asks if he’s going to let them go home. Nick confirms that Jake appealed to his better side which is rare but does exit. Nick then announces that he is letting the women go home which excites them. Nick adds that they shouldn’t remember any of this when they get back to Earth. Marlena says she’s okay with that if she gets to see John and her family. Nick says what happens when their souls go back to their bodies has nothing to do with them, so they could reunite with their family or they could die instantly and end up right back here. Marlena, Kayla, and Kate decide they are willing to take the risk. Jake directs them to walk through the doors and their souls will re-enter their bodies.

After searching the DiMera Mansion, Steve says it seems to him that the only DiMera that lives there that would have a motive is EJ. Tony points out that they just trashed EJ’s room and didn’t find anything. John brings up that Kate knew that Lucas kidnapped Sami but just let EJ twist in the wind. Steve adds that Stefano always said revenge was a dish best served cold. John adds that EJ always listened to Stefano. Tony calls that wild speculation and points out that Kate ultimately exonerated EJ, but also notes that Chad was just as guilty as Kate was. Tony adds that Chad testified against EJ and EJ didn’t even go after him. John notes that Marlena was EJ’s kids’ grandmother while Steve adds that Kayla was their great aunt. John admits that EJ wouldn’t do that to his kids. Anna and Tony talk about how it couldn’t be Johnny or Chad. John then brings up Stefan. Steve calls him definitely sleazy enough. Steve knows no one wants to bring up the past, but Stefan slept with Abigail while knowing she wasn’t in her right mind and that’s pretty damn sleazy. Anna reluctantly agrees but insists that people really can change and says that Stefan has been a lot more decent since coming back to life. John asks if there are any other DiMeras floating around other than the ones covered in Salem. Tony argues that Sydney wouldn’t have a motive while Anna adds that Theo wouldn’t hurt a fly. Steve adds that Steven Hawk would never hurt Kayla. Anna then brings up Peter Blake being as lethal as he is dreamy. John says Peter Blake has no redeeming quality but he also doesn’t have a motive. Tony says they’ve gone through the whole family tree unless they resurrect Stefano or Andre, so it seems they’ve run out of DiMeras. John and Steve then declare there is one DiMera they haven’t talked about yet…

Paulina apologizes to Roman for not hearing what Kate was trying to tell her, but at least she knows Roman stopped Steve and John from killing Orpheus, so now she can really rest in peace. Roman declares that he won’t rest in peace until he finds out who did this to Kate, Kayla, and Marlena. Paulina argues that Orpheus did it with a big assist from Kristen. Roman informs her that Orpheus claims there was another DiMera who stole the orchid from Kristen and that’s what John and Steve are trying to figure out.

Tony questions what John and Steve are getting at when they listed every living member of the family so there are no more DiMeras out there. Anna says that’s unless Steve and John know something that they don’t..

Marlena, Kate, and Kayla leave Heaven while Nick tells Jake that all is well that ends well. Jake states that for the women, it’s not the end, but a new beginning. Jake prays their souls find their way back to Salem and their families. Nick says he does too. Nick admits that what Jake said got to him. Nick tells Jake not to tell anyone since he has an image to maintain. Jake agrees that it will be their secret and thanks him. Nick calls him a worthy opponent and jokes that he looks forward to locking horns or wings again. Nick notes that none of the women thought twice about walking through those doors, so he hopes they don’t wake up to a fate worse than death..

Tony demands to know what John and Steve aren’t telling them. He asks if Stefano had another illegitimate child and who this is. John responds that it’s not new, she’s been around for awhile and tells Tony that it’s his half-sister, Megan Hathaway.

Megan Hathaway stands in the DiMera lab with the three tubes containing Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. The three women open their eyes as Megan declares that the three sleeping beauties are finally awake as she laughs.

Update written by Joseph

Wendy remains on the phone with Johnny and says she’s glad the drug vial didn’t belong to EJ, but wonders who it does belong to. Wendy hangs up and then her father, Wei Shin, storms in to the office asking what the hell is wrong with EJ but finds Wendy at the desk. Wendy greets him and says long time no see.

Nicole questions EJ thinking Stefan drugged him and asks what would make him want to do that. EJ says that is the burning question.

Rafe complains about Eric lying to them and getting Dr. Rolf to sign his statement. Rafe guesses Eric is done pretending to be a saint while Jada comments that this is not the Eric she knows. Rafe says now they can finally get Li, so he guesses in the end it will be alright. Jada encourages turning this into an arrest warrant. Rafe tells her to go for it. Jada hopes it will put a smile on his face, noting that she hasn’t seen that in awhile and she misses it.

Li and Gabi shake hands. Li says he’s thrilled that she took him up on his offer for his DiMera shares but not as thrilled as he is that she signed on for six more months of marriage. Li then asks if married couples really shake hands on deals and suggests they seal it with a kiss.

Sloan sits at home, wondering where Eric went. Sloan decides there’s only one way to find out and calls Eric.

Eric brings Dr. Rolf to his room where Brady has Stefan tied to the bed. Stefan complains that he’s refusing to be Dr. Rolf’s guinea pig again. Eric ignores Sloan’s phone call. Brady tells Dr. Rolf that it’s time to finish what he started. Brady declares that Dr. Rolf made Stefan fall in love with Chloe again, so it’s time to undo it. Dr. Rolf responds that he’s sorry but he can’t help him.

Nicole questions EJ thinking that Stefan is drugging him. EJ responds that he’s quite sure of it. Nicole calls that a serious accusation. EJ believes it solves the mystery of him feeling bad and then slipping up during his interview which doesn’t happen to him. EJ declares that this was the reason.

Wei Shin questions why Wendy is in the DiMera office chair. Wendy explains that she is installing antivirus software on Mr. DiMera’s computer. Wei argues that the only protection they need is from incompetence and asks where EJ is. Wendy responds that he’s obviously not here and she just talked to his son, who saw him at home. Wei complains about EJ going AWOL, just like Li who used to be his eyes and ears until he went off to fall in love.

Gabi tells Li that their deal is strictly business. Li says he had to hold on to hope and shows Gabi that it’s all in writing. Gabi signs the papers and declares this means she’s off the market for the next six months. Li adds that it’s part of the deal that she must wear her wedding ring again. Gabi reluctantly agrees to do it so Li puts the ring back on her finger. Li says now people will see that she’s off the market. Gabi doesn’t care and calls it a marriage made in Hell. Gabi declares that nothing matters to her other than getting her shares. Li says the shares belong to her as long as she remains his wife for six months, otherwise they’ll revert back to him. Li then informs Gabi that all that is left now is for her to pack.

Stefan asks if Brady and Eric are satisfied now, calling it a dumb idea to begin with. Brady questions Dr. Rolf saying there’s nothing he can do when he’s done it twice. Dr. Rolf argues that he had state of the art equipment the first time and then had old equipment then went up in flames the second time. Brady asks if Dr. Rolf is saying that Stefan is going to be in love with two women for the rest of his life. Dr. Rolf argues that he’s not a miracle worker. Brady suggests that he become one.

Sloan leaves Eric a message to ask where he went. Sloan then gets an alert on her phone that Dr. Rolf was freed. Sloan questions how the hell that happened as she storms out of her apartment.

Li tells Gabi that if they are going to stay married, they have to live together. Li says it’s a stipulation in the contract. Gabi remarks that she should’ve read it more carefully. Li explains that they have to be living under the same roof if he’s going to have a chance of winning her over and they can’t be at her place because Rafe wouldn’t tolerate it. Gabi warns that Rafe will kick him out on his ass. Li says he will find a place cozy for them and Arianna. Gabi informs him that Arianna is in New Zealand with Will and Sonny just in time to spare her from having to spend time with him. Li guesses that makes things simple. Li says it shouldn’t take long as he has good connections in local real estate. Gabi notes that Rafe won’t be thrilled when he finds out that she’s dealing with him. Gabi brings up the fallout when it gets out that she has his DiMera shares. Li assures that it’s nothing they can’t handle.

Wei complains that Li and EJ are nowhere to be found while millions are being lost. Wendy points out that she is here and says she’s doing fine. Wei responds that he has more things on his mind than stroking her ego. Wei brings up being in New York when word of the stock slide happened, so he came here immediately but he seems to be the only one who cares because no one in charge is greeting him or explaining what the hell is happening. Wendy repeats that she is here. Wei argues that this is a dire situation and asks where Stefan DiMera is. Wendy responds that he’s not here either.

Jada tells Rafe that the judge should have an arrest warrant for Li very soon and then it’s justice for Stefan and Gabi. Sloan arrives, questioning how dare they set her client free. Rafe questions her being a lawyer who wants her client locked up. Sloan argues that as Dr. Rolf’s legal representative, everything has to go through her so she demands answers as to why Rafe set Dr. Rolf free and who paid his bail. Rafe clarifies that Dr. Rolf isn’t out on bail, he’s out period because he signed his confession which was a key element of the original plea agreement. Rafe says he held up his end of the bargain so they held up their end. Sloan calls that impossible as Dr. Rolf couldn’t have signed it. Rafe asks Jada to get Sloan a copy of it. Sloan says not to bother and goes to pull it out of her purse but realizes it’s gone.

Brady complains that Dr. Rolf is supposed to be a genius with no limits. Dr. Rolf repeats that he’s not a miracle worker. Eric argues that Dr. Rolf brought Stefan back from the dead and asks if that’s not a miracle. Brady adds that Dr. Rolf screwed with Stefan’s affections for women and questions why he can’t do it again. Eric asks if he can’t go any further.

Sloan asks Rafe if he knows how much trouble he’s going to be in for accepting stolen materials and using them in an official capacity. Rafe asks if Jada knows what she’s talking about. Jada argues that it can’t be stolen if the person works for her. Sloan responds that Brady doesn’t work for her. Rafe clarifies that she wasn’t talking about Brady but about her paralegal Eric which shocks Sloan. Rafe remarks on it being an interesting relationship they have going. Sloan complains about them treating this like a joke and warns that when she’s done, they won’t be laughing. Sloan then storms out of the police station. Rafe and Jada joke about Sloan being mad.

Eric brings Dr. Rolf downstairs to the Brady Pub to search through equipment for him to use. Dr. Rolf says he saw through their pathetic attempt to appeal to his ego but says this will most likely work. Eric insists that this has to succeed. Dr. Rolf gathers a box of items including a fire extingusiher and then orders clam chowder from Eric as well.

Stefan tells Brady that this is kidnapping and assault. Brady says Stefan can turn him in after, but he’ll be thanking him along with Gabi. Brady knows it feels like he’s the villain but insists that he will be the hero. Stefan calls Brady a selfish son of a bitch who will stop at nothing to get him out of Chloe’s life. Brady assures that Stefan will realize it’s what he wanted all along and he just doesn’t know it yet.

Nicole questions EJ about Stefan drugging him to hurt the company when it’s his livelihood too. Nicole asks why he would do that and how he would get away with it. EJ recalls Stefan offering him coffee this morning, saying he needed caffeine before the interview. EJ remembers feeling fine until it was time for the interview. EJ declares that Stefan set him up to look like a fool. Nicole thought they were fine and that Stefan forgave EJ for staying quiet about what Li and Kristen did to him. EJ guesses that Stefan didn’t actually forgive him and now wants revenge.

Wendy tells Wei that it’s not usually like this. Wei is unsure because of the recent state of affairs. Wei acknowledges that he didn’t greet Wendy properly and ask how she’s doing, but insists that he does care. Wei says that all has to wait until he deals with this and says it all started with Li’s unfortunate obsession with Gabi. Wendy points out that Gabi is actually okay as they have bonded and become friends. Wei remarks that she never did choose her friends wisely. Wei says he’s going to tell Li exactly how disappointingly that he has failed him as he then exits the office. Wendy decides that she is going to warn Li first that their father is on the warpath as she then exits the office.

Gabi says that Li must have thought this through and worked out all the angles. Li calls Gabi his x-factor and says they are always better when they team up which is why he can’t let her go without a fight. Gabi tells him to go find them somewhere to live as she then exits his hotel room.

Nicole tells EJ that he’s talking about a lot of if’s. EJ then remembers the mimosas and how it was the day after Stefan forgave him. EJ talks about Stefan making the mimosas and then leaving, so he and Nicole shared them instead. Nicole says it’s all coming back to her now and realizes that she had the spiked mimosa. Nicole realizes why it hit her like a ton of a bricks and that she can hold her liquor. Nicole declares that Stefan drugged them both.

Stefan tells Brady that they went over in the park that he decides who he loves, not Dr. Rolf and his equipment. Brady talks about trying to put Stefan back together the way he was. Stefan mocks Brady’s relationship history and says he’s been in love with more women than anyone can count. Stefan asks what about what he wants and if he doesn’t get a say. Brady tells Stefan that he can do whatever he wants after this but says he is going to be with Chloe and to Hell with what Stefan wants.

Eric tells Dr. Rolf that he will have his clam chowder after he does his duty. They prepare to head back upstairs when Sloan bursts in to the Pub and calls Eric a son of a bitch.

Rafe tells Jada that there was no doubt before but Sloan was right that Eric stole the confession and brought it here for Dr. Rolf to sign. Jada points out that Sloan initially suspected Brady did it. Rafe talks about Brady being crazy about Chloe. Jada adds that he’s been fighting Stefan for her. They agree that Sloan was right about the fact that Eric broke the law. Rafe states that it was impersonation and interfering with a police investigation, so they might have to get a second warrant. Jada answers a phone call and tells Rafe that Eric will have to wait because the warrant for Li is ready. Rafe decides they will go pay him a visit and exits the station.

Gabi finds Wendy in the town square. Wendy informs Gabi that she’s on her way to Li’s room because their father is in town, looking for someone to take his anger out on, and Li is an easy target.

Li happily talks on the phone about a place to live until his father Wei shows up at his door and he hangs up. Wei complains about Li’s misadventures with Stefan and how the stock took a dive due to EJ’s stupidity and indiscretion. Wei says that with Li out at DiMera, he has no one inside to do damage control. Li calls it a temporary problem and assures that he could be back in the company very soon which Wei questions. Li explains that Dr. Rolf’s confession would give the authorities what they need to come after him, but he has an insurance policy in a great lawyer keeping that from happening so it’s no longer an issue. Li assures that Wei’s worries are unfounded as everything is coming together and he’s even getting things back on track with Gabi. Wei thought she washed her hands of him after the brainwashing. Li reveals that they made a deal, giving him six months of marriage to make her love him again. Wei questions how much this deal is costing him. Li says he knew how to reel her in and reveals that he just signed his DiMera shares away. Wei responds by slapping Li.

Eric tells Sloan that they are busy. Sloan tells Dr. Rolf that Eric can’t be trusted after stealing documents from her. Dr. Rolf argues that Sloan is the one who can’t be trusted and accuses her of never really representing him. Sloan tells him not to be ridiculous and asks if Eric has gotten in to his head. Dr. Rolf says Sloan just served her purpose but now she’s fired. Dr. Rolf then heads back upstairs. Sloan asks Eric how much trouble this puts him in. Eric responds that this doesn’t have to be ugly and that he’s only helping Brady because she refused.

Dr. Rolf returns to Eric’s room with the box full of equipment from the Brady Pub kitchen. Brady questions Dr. Rolf planning on reviving Stefan’s brain with this junk. Dr. Rolf calls it the tools for a scientific breakthrough as he raises an electric whisk mixer.

Nicole calls Stefan a bastard and a dirtbag. EJ gets her anger but points out that she wasn’t Stefan’s target and was just collateral damage. Nicole declares that she will show Stefan collateral damage he’ll never forget. Nicole states that Stefan needs to own up to both of them and wants to go find him but EJ says not so fast.

Wendy tries calling Li but he’s not answering. Gabi guesses Wei got to him before she did. Wendy notes that Wei does not give up easily. Gabi remarks that it must be where Li gets it from. Wendy asks what she means. Wendy then brings up Li and Gabi spending part of Valentine’s Day together and he was feeling quite hopeful afterwards. Wendy asks if he was being too confident. Gabi doesn’t know if this answers her question but reveals that she is not divorcing Li for another six months, surprising Wendy.

Wei questions Li giving up his DiMera Shares when they have incredible power and voting power in order to stay married to a woman that hates him. Li argues that it’s about winning Gabi back and that if they stay married, what’s her’s is his including the shares so he knows what he’s doing. Wei remarks that Li was always overly confident and not very smart. Wei then gets a notification about Dr. Rolf’s release and questions if Li knows what he’s doing.

Sloan questions Eric about digging in to her files to help Brady and betray her. Eric calls that funny because he would say Sloan betrayed Dr. Rolf to protect Li Shin. Sloan says that’s not the point and warns that Eric won’t get away with this. Eric comments that it sounds like a confession and a threat. Eric warns Sloan to be careful if she enjoys having a law license.

Dr. Rolf begins plugging things in while Stefan questions if Brady is really going to let him hook him up with this. Stefan asks what if he fries his brain. Brady thinks they need to trust Dr. Rolf. Stefan complains that these are less than ideal circumstances and brings up his father, Stefano and how he would react to this. Brady argues that Stefan will say anything to stop this but Dr. Rolf needs to fix him. Brady encourages Dr. Rolf to finish the extraordinary work that he started.

Nicole thought EJ wanted to get back at Stefan. EJ assures that he does but not without proof that he’s the one who drugged them. EJ says they have a solid theory but they need to get the vial analyzed to get their confirmation. Nicole asks if they will go after him afterwards. EJ says not yet because they don’t need Stefan to know they are onto him. EJ promises that when he makes his move, Stefan will not see him coming.

Wendy questions if Gabi agreed to the deal only for the shares or if Li actually has a shot with her and what about Stefan. Gabi asks about all the questions. Gabi admits she doesn’t know as a month ago she would’ve said Li burnt all his bridges. Wendy comments that it seems not to be the case. Gabi tells Wendy that Li keeps on showing her that he loves her and only her with all his heart, unlike Stefan. Gabi decides maybe Li is right that they are kindred spirits.

Li tries calling Sloan but it goes to voicemail. Li questions what is going on since Sloan said she had this all under control. Rafe and Jada then show up at the door. Rafe announces it is his great pleasure to once again arrest Li for what he did to Stefan, but this time it’s for keeps.

Stefan begs Dr. Rolf to stop this. Dr. Rolf says he’s sorry but he thinks Stefano would want him put back the way he was. Brady says they are back on track and asks how he can help. Dr. Rolf asks Brady for pictures of Chloe and instructs him to connect his phone to the projector which he does and then displays his photos of Chloe. Brady orders Dr. Rolf to do it now as Dr. Rolf goes to put the grip on Stefan.

Eric tells Sloan that he knows conflict of interest can land her in serious trouble so it seems they are at a standoff where they can both hurt each other. Sloan declares that Eric is only hurting himself because they are through. Sloan remarks that maybe he can crawl back to Nicole, but then says Nicole is already screwing EJ. Sloan calls him a bastard and walks out of the Pub.

Nicole says that EJ said Stefan will never see him coming but it’s never seeing them coming. EJ agrees that two can play at this game.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Eric wanted to see Rolf, but Rafe wouldn’t let him do it. He wanted to talk to Rolf. Jada tried to get Rafe to change his mind, but he didn’t want Eric in there. Rafe thought he wanted to be a vigilante to get justice for Marlena. He refused to let Eric do that on his watch. Rafe said that Rolf’s attorney was the only person who was allowed in there. Eric told him that Sloan hired him to be her paralegal and he had papers that Rolf needed to read. Jada reminded Rafe that he couldn’t deny Rolf his legal representation or his case would be thrown out. Brady met with Stefan in the park. He wanted him to leave Chloe alone. They argued over who was hurting her more. Brady told him that he was still in love with Gabi, but she might not wait around for him to decide. Stefan believed she would wait for as long as it took for him to decide what he wanted. Stefan didn’t want to lose Gabi, but he didn’t want to lose Chloe either. He said Rolf was in jail so he couldn’t deprogram him. Brady was working on that as they spoke. Stefan let him know that he wouldn’t let Rolf screw with his mind again. Stefan was about to leave when Brady put him in a chokehold. Stefan passed out so Brady dragged his body away. Rafe took Eric to the interrogation room and he gave Rolf the document from Sloan. He told him that Sloan didn’t want him to sign it because she was representing Li. Eric told Rolf that he could get him out if he signed it. Rafe was told to let Rolf go while Eric walked in the room. Rafe knew Eric wasn’t working for Sloan. He wanted to know what Eric was doing. Rafe had to take the cuffs off of Rolf. Rolf said he was going back to his lab, but Eric stopped him from leaving. Jada tried to make Rafe feel better about Rolf being released. He said she was right and wanted to get Li before he hurt Gabi.

Stefan woke up tied to Eric’s bed. Eric showed up with Rolf. Gabi wanted Li to give her the shares. He said he would do it if she stayed married to him. She wondered why she should stay in a loveless marriage to him after what he did to her. He said that he did love her so it wasn’t loveless. She didn’t think he knew the meaning of the word love. He wanted her to give him six months to change her mind about him. He would allow her to use the shares to get rid of EJ. If she gave him the six months he wanted, he would let her keep the shares. She finally agreed to his deal. EJ and Nicole were together in bed. He wondered if they would have been in bed together if they didn’t run into Eric. She told him that if she was just after revenge, she would have slept with his brother. She said they were more compatible than she ever was with Eric because he doesn’t judge her. He let her know that he didn’t just want a fling with her.
