THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Oh, it’s a great idea. He just walked in. I’ll tell him. Okay, honey. Love you too. Bye.

[phone beeps] That was John. He would like us all to have supper at Grandpa Tim’s, at his new place tonight.

Ah, that’s terrific. Yeah. That’ll give us a chance to celebrate.

Celebrate?

Celebrate. Yeah, it looks like I may be getting my little girl back thanks to Stefan and Gabi.

Hey, how’d it go with Kristen? Did you get what we needed?

Oh, yeah. Brady played her perfectly. Got it all on video. How’d it go with Rachel?

Great. Kid gave a star performance. I’m uploading it to the computer now.

You don’t seem too happy about it.

Well, you know, I was gung-ho about making this video, and it never occurred to me that maybe we’d sunk too low. But now I’ve seen it. And, Stefan, I mean, if anybody ever accused me of abusing Arianna in any way, I would–

You would lose your mind. I get it. And if I’m being honest here, I agree with you. This–this is low.

[soft dramatic music] Gabi, here’s what we need to focus on. This whole thing– it’s just a means to an end, right? It’s just a strategy to get Kristen to give in to our demands, right, so we can finally oust EJ and be in control of our company. Now, these videos, they’re never gonna go any further than Kristen seeing them and realizing she has no other choice but to sign those shares over to us. Okay?

Yeah. Oh, I know. It’s never gonna go public.

No. No, no, no, no, no. It’s never gonna come to that, ever. And Rachel will not in any way be harmed by this.

Good. Because she’s just an innocent little girl. And I mean, I feel sorry for her because she’s got a crazy mother.

Let’s just focus on the positive here. And that is we’re almost done with this. And when we are, we will have achieved our goals. Because when Kristen gets a load of these videos, her shares are as good as ours.

Well, I did not realize how late it was. If we stayed any longer, we could have just made our lunch roll all the way over into dinner.

Mm-hmm. It’s been far too long since we have broken bread. I’m glad we could find the time.

Yeah, well, I’m gonna head home. Do you need a lift?

Actually, before you leave, I was wondering if we could discuss an important business matter.

[chuckles] You finally stopped beating around the bush. Oh, let me guess. This is about my company shares? Hmm?

[sighs]

Yes.

Steph, talk to me.

What exactly did my dad say?

He just–he said that– he said that you made a commitment to me and my kids. And in his mind, that means you’re ready to get married sooner rather than later.

I wish my parents would just back off. God, this is so embarrassing.

You don’t have to be embarrassed, Steph.

[soft dramatic music] Is he right?

Yes, he is.

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

Steph, why didn’t you tell me you were ready to get married?

Because I was embarrassed, just like I am now. You overheard me blurting it out to my mom, so I downplayed it. And I was right to, obviously, since you looked so relieved when I did. And then you said that you liked the way things were, that you didn’t want to rush into anything.

Because I thought– I thought that you felt the same way.

Honestly, I was disappointed.

Then you should have said something. We have to be able to talk about this type of stuff, Stephanie.

I didn’t want to pressure you after everything you’ve gone through. I–I know that you’re still mourning Abigail, but–

But what?

Since it’s all out in the open now, Chad, I have to say, I’m– I’m a little confused. If you didn’t see marriage anywhere on the horizon, why did you invite me to move in with you and your kids?

[melancholy country music]

Because it–it– you know, it was the next natural step.

And what’s the next step after that?

Marriage. Eventually.

Look, I get that there’s no set timetable for this stuff. But, Chad, I can’t– I can’t help wondering now that we’ve moved in together, are you having second thoughts about us?

I’m sure you’re aware Gabi and Stefan are building a power base.

Mm-hmm. Yes, I heard they somehow obtained Megan and Dimitri’s shares.

Somehow?

Yes.

They did it by threat of death. After Vivian shot our nephew, those goons stood over his bleeding body– in our home, no less– and refused to call an ambulance until he signed over the shares.

I weirdly kind of respect that.

[scoffs]

Okay, I’ll admit, it was pretty ruthless.

Ruthless and deceitful and out of control. And now that they have a taste for blood, who knows who they’ll target next? It could be any one of the DiMera shareholders, including you.

[suspenseful music]

Wow. Not only are you a brilliant director, but you are a hell of an editor. Look out, Hollywood.

You married a woman with many talents.

Don’t I know it.

Hey, I gotta finish this. And the quicker I finish this, the quicker we can blackmail Kristen into handing over her shares.

You’re right. All right. EJ’s probably at it as we speak. And if he gains control before we do, we’ll be left out in the cold.

Yeah, and their little lunch date put our post-production into a rush. So what if he already won? What if she’s handing over her shares, or at the very least, deciding to vote with him?

No way. Kristen’s way too smart to give up anything without incentive. And this–this is incentive.

He’s just as likely to blackmail her. He could be pulling a gun on her in a dark alley.

Maybe you should work faster.

Oh, my God.

[sighs]

After you left, Stefan– he came by and filled me in.

I’m almost afraid to ask. What did he say?

He wanted me to provoke a fight with Kristen, so I did. I met her up at the square, and I riled her up. And Stefan caught it all on video.

What have you gotten yourself into?

I don’t think I should give you the details.

Tell me.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[tense music] We’re gonna make it look like Kristen has been abusing Rachel.

What?

Okay, what do you think?

Gabi, it is a cinematic masterpiece and… quite frankly, pretty disturbing.

[tense music] Kristen’s gonna freak. And she is gonna make sure she does anything and everything she can to make sure that doesn’t get in front of a judge because she would for sure lose custody.

I still feel a little uneasy about framing the woman for child abuse.

Well, that’s in her hands now. Okay? She gives in to our demands, no one loses their daughter.

What about Brady? I mean, he’s gonna want to show this to the judge. He wants his daughter too.

Okay, I do feel a little guilty about that. But Brady’s a big boy. If he wants custody of his daughter back, he’ll find another way.

Please tell me that I heard that wrong.

I know, I know, I know. It’s extreme. It’s extreme, but I’m desperate, and I don’t care. I don’t care. I want my girl back, so…

It’s a terrible lie. Look, I’m no fan of Kristen’s. You know that. And I think she can do unspeakably terrible things, but I do not believe she would ever hurt her daughter.

I agree, I don’t believe– I don’t believe she would hurt her physically. I agree with you. But emotionally? We know her handiwork. ,::, We do. We watched as she turned her against Chloe. And she’s slowly gonna turn her against me too. It’s gonna happen.

Then use that in court, the truth.

No, the truth, it doesn’t work. It’s not strong enough. It’s not strong enough. Okay? What will work is Gabi and Stefan are going to make this video of Kristen being Kristen with some other footage. And it’s gonna show that Kristen is a danger to her daughter. Period.

I don’t believe this. This is unethical. What’s more, it is not who you are.

Kristen plays dirty all the time. You know what she told that judge? She told that judge that I had killed Philip, knowing damn well that I was innocent of that.

And now that Philip is unequivocally alive, I thought you and Belle were gonna pursue that in court.

No, no, we can’t. I mean, there’s no point to it. It’s not a slam dunk anyway because the judge is not a fan of the fact that I, you know, stuck a gun in Kristen’s face and kidnapped my own daughter.

And how is the judge gonna feel when he finds out this is all a made-up story on your part? And how is your daughter gonna feel when she realizes you have framed her mother? Brady, Brady, you’re gonna lose your little girl, honey.

What are you saying, EJ? You think that Stefan and Gabi are gonna shoot me in the back and force me to sign over my shares?

They’re certainly capable of it. Look. I’ll admit that, with your help, I could get ahead of them, oust Stefan, and take control of the company– with the family’s best interests, of course. But my main concern right now is your well-being. Help me help you take the target off your back.

How?

Transfer your shares to me, temporarily, of course, ensuring your safety.

[laughing]

[clears throat]

And then I told Chad if he wasn’t in it for the long haul, he needed to tell Stephanie.

You didn’t.

I don’t want to see our daughter get hurt again.

Neither do I, but it’s not our place to interfere.

I was just trying to get Chad to step up. That’s all.

Well, you possibly made things worse.

Well, I hope not. I should go back over there.

Wait, wait, wait. Are you–are you kidding me? No. The best thing you can do is butt out.

Listen to me.

[soft music] I am glad that I moved in with you. Okay, and I am glad that I get to wake up every single morning, and I get to see your beautiful face. And I’m glad that you’re there for my kids. They adore you. But I have to admit. I am– I’m really caught off guard here because I thought that– I thought that things were going well. Yes? No?

A lot of it’s been great, of course. But on top of this whole embarrassing marriage issue that– there’s been other tension between us lately. And I can’t help but think if maybe it all ties back to the same problem.

Which is?

Abigail.

[chuckling]

I don’t see what’s so funny.

Oh, my God. You are seriously trying to convince me to hand over my shares for my own protection? That’s pretty audacious, EJ, even for you.

Okay. Okay, fine. Keep your shares. But you must help me neutralize Stefan. I’ll call a shareholder meeting. And if you vote with me, we can remove our brother from the company.

Oh, God, and I’m supposed to trust you? If memory serves, that hasn’t always worked out for me so well.

I admit that I have let you down in the past. But it’s come to a point, Kristen, where you can no longer safely play both sides from the middle anymore. You are going to have to make a choice.

[tense music] Kristen, I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye, but you know me. And we have helped each other before. So why not again? I’m extending you an olive branch, Kristen. I suggest you take it.

All right. I guess we can put our differences aside.

So I have your vote?

Mm-mm. You have my ear. I need time to think about this.

Understood. Understood. But don’t take too much time. I have a feeling Stefan is ready to make his move.

The love Chad and Abigail had, it’s not gonna be easy for Stephanie to compete with that.

No, it’s not. Listen, when I thought that I lost you all those years ago, I don’t think I ever managed to get over it. And all those years went by, my heart always belonged to you. I think part of me died the day that you were taken away from us.

[soft music]

Kayla.

What?

Kayla.

What?

Thank you.

Thank you? Thank you for what?

Thank you for my life. I was nothing without you. You gave me everything.

I’d still give you everything. You listen to me. We’ve always gotten our strength from each other. Do you hear me? You take what you need. You take what you need from me.

[moaning]

[monitor beeping] I… I love you, sweetness.

[groaning]

I love you too. Shh.

[monitor flatlines] No.

[sniffles]

Okay, are you upset about earlier that– that I brought up that you were wearing Abigail’s costume?

I wasn’t upset, Chad. You were. And just the look on your face, it drove home the point for me in a way that I can no longer ignore.

It drove what point home?

I’ll never escape my cousin’s shadow.

Okay, you know what? Look, I’m sorry that I hurt your feelings, okay? But you can’t expect me to never bring up Abigail’s name. All right? She was–

The love of your life. I’m well aware. And I’ve tried really hard to respect that. But to be honest, you haven’t made it easy.

What does that mean?

You pulled away from me on her birthday, and then you excluded me when you took the kids to the cemetery.

Because I thought that we needed to do that as a family.

And what am I, Chad? You know what? Never mind. I understand. It hurts, but I understand. But, Chad, it’s just– when you add all of this stuff together, it feels like I’m not wanted in my own home, like I don’t belong there.

What–that was never my intention to make you feel that way. I want to build a life with you. I just need–I just need a little bit of leeway.

How much is enough, Chad? Because I’ve been trying, but it feels like I’m walking around on eggshells all the time. And I’ve tried really hard to respect your feelings, but I’m just–I’m not getting the same consideration in return.

You’re not the one whose wife was brutally murdered.

[tense music]

The judge isn’t gonna figure it out. Because Gabi and Stefan, they said they’re gonna make the video as real as possible.

You’re putting a lot of faith in those two. Do you think that’s warranted?

They seem highly motivated to make this happen.

Well, good for them. Because the person who is going to lose here is you if this goes wrong.

I know–look, I know. I know it’s risky, okay? I do. I do. But I don’t know what to do, okay? This is the only way I’m going to regain custody of my kid. And I need to check with Stefan to see if everything’s running smoothly. Excuse me.

[phone line trilling]

[cell phone beeps]

Brady?

Hey. I was just checking on the status of the video. When can I expect it?

We’re almost done. We’ll be right over.

Great. Thanks. It’s all good. They’re on their way.

Well, I’m not sure how much longer we can put off Brady.

Well, then we should call Kristen.

Did someone say my name?

Actually, yes, we were just talking about you and how you hadn’t returned yet from your lunch with EJ.

Yeah, but we thought maybe we’d have to go rescue you.

No, there’s no need. I had a very, very nice lunch. Although, he did talk my ear off at the end.

Let me guess. He wants to get his hands on your DiMera shares?

[laughs] To be honest, yes. He was worried you would beat him to the punch.

What’d you say?

Well, he made a very strong pitch as to why I should throw my lot in with him.

Oh, well, you know, before you make your decision, I think you should hear our pitch. Pretty sure it’s gonna be very persuasive. Why don’t you have a look?

[tense music]

Rachel, tell me, so who did this to you? Who gave you that black eye?

My mommy did.

Are you sure?

Yes, I’m sure.

What the hell is that?

Why does my daughter have a black eye? If either one of you have laid a finger on her–

Relax. It’s makeup.

Fine! But why? Why would you do this? I mean, is this just some kind of Halloween joke? Because I assure you, having my daughter accuse me of hurting her, that is not funny, not at all.

[tense music]

You’re right, Kristen. It’s a very serious accusation.

No, it is completely reprehensible, not to mention ridiculous. I would never hurt my child.

Are you sure about that?

She’s my daughter, which means I will discipline her any way I see fit. Oh, my God. Oh, my God! You guys set me up! I mean, you made it look like– Why are you doing this to me? Why are you doing this to me?

I think you know.

Oh, you son of a bitch.

Brady, look at me. You’ve got to put a stop to this.

I know you don’t approve. I know you don’t approve. I respect that. I do. And I don’t like stooping to Kristen’s level, but I don’t know what else to do. Do you understand that I’m miserable? I want to see my little girl. Do you know I have not been allowed to see my little girl since Kristen took custody? Do you know that?

I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

Do you know what Tate called me the other day? An absent father. “You’re an absent father.” You know what the worst part about it is he’s not wrong.

[soft music] He’s not wrong, and that’s why I need– I need to make sure that I do right by Rachel. I need to be there for her.

You are there for her.

Not anymore, I’m not. At least with Tate, I could call him every other day when he was in California. I could visit him when I could. But with Rachel, Kristen has frozen me out of her life.

I understand. But this is not the way to fix it.

Then what–then what am I supposed to do? My little girl is in town. She’s in arm’s reach. She’s right down the road. And I can’t see her, and I’m her father. When do I get to see her again, Marlena, when she’s , after Kristen’s polluted her mind to the point where she doesn’t even want to have anything to do with me anymore? She’s not gonna want to be a part of my life by then.

That’s not going to happen.

It isn’t gonna happen because I’m gonna fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen! I’m gonna get my little girl back. To me, the ends justify the means.

Delete this right now!

Uh-huh.

Kristen, we’re happy to. It’s no problem. All you have to do is sign over your shares. Otherwise, we’ll be forced to turn the video over to Brady.

[tense music]

Oh, my God. So he is in on your twisted plan?

Sort of. He’s under the impression that we’re going to give him the video, so he can take it to the judge and get custody of Rachel.

Yeah, but what he doesn’t know is that we’re giving you a choice. See, this video can go away forever if you do what we want.

Wow. You’re double crossing him?

I think you should be grateful. I am giving you an opportunity here.

How dare you.

Take your time. Or you know what, actually, I wouldn’t take that long if I were you.

Well, it’s obvious this video has been doctored. And what judge is going to believe such a disgusting farce?

Okay, Kristen. Kristen, look at me. You finally have everything you’ve always wanted. Are you really willing to risk it all? So ask yourself. What’s more important, your DiMera voting power or a long-lasting healthy, happy relationship with your daughter?

I hate that you and Stephanie were on your own for so many years.

[soft music] I’ll always regret not being there.

I know. And I’ll admit it was hard. But then one wonderful, miraculous day, you walked back into my life.

Excuse me, miss? You all right?

I’m fine.

You sure?

That voice. It can’t be. Steve? And I count my blessings every day that you came back to me. I honestly thought I would live the rest of my life with never knowing true love again.

What if the same is true for Chad? That he could never get over Abigail.

It’s impossible to answer. We just have to let them figure it out for themselves. And all we can do, as Stephanie’s parents, is be there for her, no matter what happens.

I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.

I know you’ve suffered a great loss, Chad. And I hate that I may be coming off as insecure or impatient, but I have my own baggage. And while it may not compare to yours, I refuse to make myself small in order to be in this relationship.

I’m not asking you to do that. You need to tell me how you feel, though, Stephanie. I’m not psychic.

I’m not asking you to be. I just need you to acknowledge that this isn’t easy for me either, especially after… No, never mind.

What do you mean never mind? Tell me.

No. It just–it doesn’t compare to what you’ve gone through. What happened to Abigail, oh, my God, is such a tragedy for you, for the kids.

Steph, I don’t give a damn that it doesn’t compare, Stephanie. I need you to talk to me. I need you to tell me. Stephanie?

Mm. I was alluding to what happened with that guy in Seattle.

Okay. The guy that ghosted you?

Yeah. But like I said, it just–it seems terribly insensitive for me to seem like I’m feeling sorry for myself about that. Nobody died. It was just hurtful. And you’ve heard it before.

It’s not insensitive, Stephanie. It was obviously something that was very painful for you.

It was. I thought things were going really well. I was falling hard for him. And I thought he felt the same way. Just when things started to get serious, he suddenly disappeared on me. And I guess, deep down, I’m worried you’re going to do the same thing.

What? Stephanie, I would never do that to you.

I got my heart broken before because I misread the situation. I don’t want to make that same mistake again. But it looks like I already have misread the situation. I thought you wanted to marry me.

I do. Hey, Stephanie, I do, eventually.

I wish I could believe that.

You can believe that. Stephanie, I love you.

Yeah. Just not as much as your dead wife.

[dramatic music]

I tried to drop off a little Halloween bag for your daughter today, and Kristen wouldn’t let me visit with her.

See? She’s being unreasonable. At least my son got to spend a little time with Rachel the other day. And I think he tried to talk me up to her. I don’t think it worked, though. I’m sure Kristen’s already hard at work turning her against me.

She wouldn’t do that.

She’s already doing it. Do you understand that if I let Kristen raise Rachel, she’s gonna warp her mind the same way that Stefano warped Kristen’s? I am not gonna let that happen.

I remember when Kristen came to Salem. Stefano had everybody believing that– that John was the evil one.

That’s why I know you understand more than anyone why I need to keep my little girl out of Kristen’s grasp.

I do understand. And I hate what Kristen is doing right now. And I hate what it’s doing to you because this is not who you are.

[cell phone beeps] Oh, I’m sorry. It’s the hospital. I’ve got to get there. It’s a patient.

Okay.

Brady? I hope you get your daughter back. But this is not the way to do it.

[tense music]

I think you’re making the right decision.

Oh, is that so?

Mm-hmm.

I think Dimitri had the right idea when he tried to pump the two of you with lead.

Our intention was never to take Rachel away from you. We just want your shares.

Yeah, in fact, you can keep all the money from the dividends. We don’t care about that. All we care about is the voting power.

Yeah, you’ll still be able to support Rachel.

How generous of you.

Oh, one more thing. We need you to remind Peter where his loyalties lie.

Just so you know, this is not gonna give you enough power to control DiMera.

Not yet.

Yeah, and in the meantime, it’ll stop EJ from ousting Stefan.

All right. Let’s get this done, huh? The sooner we get those certificates signed over to us, the sooner we delete the videos.

What is the problem?

This is all just a bit too hard to swallow. You know, every fiber in my being just wants me to take my chances with the judge and tell the two of you to go to hell.

Okay, it took a while, but we finally found a suitable film for Charlotte and Thomas out of Roman’s vast array of Westerns and action films.

Yeah? Which one?

“Labyrinth.” It’s the ‘s movie with David Bowie, yeah?

Uh-huh, it’s like it’s a drive-in Saturday. So where’s Stephanie?

[soft music]

Stephanie’s gone.

[tense music]

Damn it.

[sighs]

Ah, Kristen, there you are. Look, I don’t mean to press you for an answer but–

EJ, just stop. Just stop. I don’t have them.

[tense music]

What do you mean you don’t have–

You lost. You lost, EJ. I signed my shares over to the demonic duo.

Why would you do that?

Because I had no choice.

Okay, where’s the video?

Well, the video has been deleted.

What are you talk– deleted? What are you–un-delete it.

Well, no, we can’t. It’s gone for good.

How could you even let this happen? What are you talking about?

No, we made it happen. See, that video was never for you to use against Kristen. It was for us to use against her.

You double-crossed me? Is that what you did?

It’s nothing personal.

Hey, it’s nothing pers– it’s nothing personal.

No, Brady, Brady!

You son of a bitch. Stop, stop, stop. There’s no point now, no point. Done.

All right. Get out of here. Get out, both of you. Get out. Get out of here, man! Unbelievable!

[soft music]

What happened?

You know, we weren’t on the same page. And it turned into a fight.

Okay. Well, I sensed when I walked the kids upstairs that things were getting tense. What was it about?

What else?

Abigail.

Yup. Abigail.

It’s okay, Papa. I know you didn’t mean to cause any trouble.

But I did. I can hear it in your voice.

Chad and I had a long talk. It didn’t go well.

[sighs] Should your mom and I come over there right now?

No, I’m–no. I think I just need to be alone for a while.

[knock at door] Papa, I have to go. I think we have some trick-or-treaters.

Okay, I love you, little sweetness. We’ll talk soon?

Yeah. Love you too.

[soft music] Oh, my God.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

I trust you have settled into your new home, then and you are making inroads with the young Mr. Kiriakis?

[tense music]

Inroads? Forget that. I’m playing the long game. The last thing I want to do is scare him off.

Of course not. I understand. Especially after you went through all the trouble of making him Victor’s long-lost son and heir.

[sighs] Yeah. Especially after that.

[chuckles] And for thatI am very grateful. God knows neither one of us wanted it to be Xander.

[tense music]

No, Sloan. I don’t want you to hold back. I want you to throw a colossal spanner in the works. Well, it’s an expression. I just–it just means that I want you to hit Sarah with both barrels and it her with every barrel that you can. This hearing coming up I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get custody of my daughter.

[knock at door] Just let me know if you need anything else.

[phone beeps]

[Xander sighs] Maggie! Well, this is a pleasant surprise! How are you?

I am fit to be tied is how I am. How dare you try to take my granddaughter away?

[tense music]

You know, I always love this time of year especially when the kids were little.

Yeah, you loved it because you liked raiding Stephanie and Joe’s candy haul.

That is not true!

It is.

Okay, wellmaybe a few times.

[soft upbeat music]

Yay.

Wow, look at you.

You are so cute.

Those are great costumes. You’re such a scary witch!

[Kayla chuckles]

What a nice surprise!

I know, right? I had the pleasure of picking up these two sweethearts from school and bringing them over here to have an after-school treat.

That’s because my dad and Stephanie are home working.

[mouth full] Okay, Steph?

[clearly] Steph, how’s this? “Titan regrets the decision to disrupt their habitat “but will have the turtles transported “to a nearby sanctuary while a new location for the plant is being scouted.”

That’s pretty goodbut don’t say decision. It implies culpability. Just say Titan regrets the disruption.

That’s a good catch. Got it.

[doorbell chimes]

Ohcould you please get that? I’m just putting on some finishing touches on my costume.

Yep. No problem. Probably have an early batch of trick-or-treaters.

[laughing evilly] Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[suspenseful mysterious music]

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

[suspenseful music]

Konstantin? Hello?

I-I must go.

[phone beeps] Well, if it isn’t the lovely Sarah and even lovelier with a baby in her arms.

[chuckles] I don’t feel so lovely on three hours of sleep.

Every new mother is lovely.

[Sarah chuckles] And who is this little angeleh? I haven’t had the privilege of being introduced. My name is Konstantin. And you are?

[Sarah chuckles]

[baby crying]

This very loud, little angel is Victoria.

Oh! Named after Victor, of course. What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. And how happy he would be to know that you are here in this world, hmm?

I’d like to think so.

Mm.

Although he wasn’t always very happy with her father. And I couldn’t help but overhear when I came in you were talking about him– about Xander.

[Victoria crying]

Now listen, Maggie–

No! You listen to me. You are not only trying to get full custody of Victoria which is an outrage but you have the gall to call Sarah an unfit mother!

She is unfit. She tried to deny my child her father.

That doesn’t have anything to do with whether or not she could take care of her child! She is a wonderful mother!

Oh, she wasn’t very wonderful to me, was she? She lied to me. Let me believe that my daughter was Rex’s. And come to think of itso did you.

[suspenseful mysterious music]

Hmm.

Was it trick or treaters?

[clears throat] No, no, nobody was there. It must have been some kids playing a prank. EJ said the same thing happened to him last night. Hey, how’s it going with that costume in there? You need some help? It’s kind of taking, uh… * Forever *

No, I think I’m fine.

[mouth full] Forever!

[chuckling] I think I’m finally finished. Ta-da.

[soft dramatic music] Well, what do you think?

Yeah, it’s nice.

It seems you don’t like it. Oh, did you want to wear matching costumes?

No.

Sorry, I didn’t think to ask.

No, no, no, it’s not that.

Chad? What? Tell me what you’re thinking.

It’s nothing. It’s the last Halloween I spent with Abigail she–she wore a costume exactly like that.

[Alex groaning]

Alex! What happened to you?

[Alex groans]

[intense music]

[Theresa gasps]

[Alex groans]

God! We have to get you to a hospital now!

No, no, no, no, no, noit’s okay, it’s okay. The only thing in need of emergency attention is this shirt. Don’t worry, it’s not blood.

[scoffs] It’s not?

Uh?

What happened? Did you run into some Halloween prank or something?

[sighs] I wish. A-apparently one of Titan’s manufacturing plants disturbed the habitat of some local turtles? And anywaywe’re relocating these things. And meanwhilethis activist group shows up claiming that Titan has blood on its hands. So I’m walking out of the building to go to lunch and–

Someone just threw blood on you?

I mean, I think it’s just food coloring and corn syrup? I hope?

Ugh.

I mean, I guess I could pull it off as some sick Halloween costume.

[Theresa sighs]

Think it would be better to go home and change, though.

YeahI think you need a shower and a clean shirt, mister.

I think you’re right. Maybe you should come home and join me.

[soft dramatic music] I mean, this is some pretty sticky stuff. I might need some help scrubbing it off.

[Theresa scoffs]

All this timeyou knew the truth. And here I am the idiot who thought we had a real connection.

We did, but– we do.

[soft dramatic music] Xander, you know how I feel about you. And I hope you know that I hated lying to you.

Yet here we are.

Yes. Well, if it’s any consolation I pleaded with Sarah to tell you the truth. But she was so angry with you because of what you had done to Bonnie and Susan.

Yeah, she convinced herself that I was a murderer.

Well, at the very least she thought she had gone back on your word. And you had reverted back to your scheming ways. And in fact, all to be fairyou had and with terrible consequences. But honestlyI thought you should have been given a second chance. But she wasn’t changing her mind. And even though I disagreed with her, she’s– she’s my daughter, and I have to respect her wishes.

[soft dramatic music]

[Xander sighs]

Of course. I suppose you did. I’m sorry, Maggie. I shouldn’t have lost my temper and shouted at you especially now. I can only imagine how hard things have been for you since you lost Victor.

Apology accepted. Thank you, Xander.

How are you holding up?

You’re right.

[shakily] It’s hard.

[Maggie sighs] But it’s been a little easier lately. Thanks to a wonderful manKonstantin.

[ominous music]

Oh, so you heard me say something about Xander?

Yes. I-I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.

Oh, of course not. It’s-it’s quite all right. I was, um… talking to a friend of mine in Greece. He’s running the restaurant while I’m away.

And you were telling him about Xander? D-does he even know Xander?

Oh, he does.

[sighs] Believe me. Victor’s nephew has quite a reputation in Greece. Everyone knows that he is the black sheep of the Kiriakis family despite his misguided delusions about wanting to be the golden boy.

[both sigh]

That sounds about right.

Now I’ve heard from your mother that he is trying to take custody of your daughter?

[Konstantin scoffs]

Mm-hmm.

Forgive me. I apologize. I suppose I was gossiping but I had to let my friend in Greece know that he had added another horrible deed to his… long list. I-I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. Your ex-husband has hurt many people. My family included.

I-I’m so sorry.

[sighs] Thank you. But there’s no need for you to apologize. Tell mewhat are your lawyers saying? Surely they can’t believe that Xander can get custody of your pretty, little girl, huh? Huh?

Well, my lawyer is Justin.

Oh.

Victor’s nephew.

A very wise choice.

And although he doesn’t think that a judge would give Xander custody of Victoria he also warned that one could.

But why? How could the judge possibly find you unfit?

Um… uh, because I lied. I told Xander that he wasn’t Victoria’s father.

[sighing] Oh.

And he only found out because of something that someone else overheard.

Oh, how unfortunate.

Mm-hmm.

And I imagine, Sarah you thought that it was in Victoria’s best interest to never let Xander learn that he was the real father? Right?

[chuckling] Of courseI completely agree with you.

Well–

[chuckles] Let’s hope that a judge is as understanding as you are.

I hope so as well.

Yeah, right now, I just– I have to do absolutely everything I can to look like the perfect parent for my daughter. And… I think I know just how to do that.

[dramatic music]

I got some chocolate fudge bars! And Charlotte got threeso could I have one more?

Um, sure, sure. Here you go.

Thanks.

You’re supposed to put one each in each bag.

Oops. I guess I put a couple extras in somebody’s bag.

Uh-huh.

That’s because they’re the best. Right, little dude?

Right.

Yeah, well, I need to talk to your Uncle Steve about the finer points of candy distribution. Well, come here a secondwould you?

[softly] Uh-oh, I’m in trouble.

You’re not in trouble. I just want to talk to you before Stephanie and Chad get here.

Are you afraid I’m going to give them some extra fudge bars?

[chuckling] No, it’s not about candy. I just want to give you the heads-up that maybe we don’t really ask them about, you know when they’re getting married.

Oh, I’m not going to make that same mistake twice. Why? Did Chad propose?

[sighs] No, not exactly. Stephanie told me today that he finally admitted that he didn’t see himself getting married anytime soon.

[Kayla sighs]

So Abigail wore this same costume?

[delicate dramatic music] God, what a coincidence. I-I’m sorry. I had no idea.

No, no, no, don’t–sorry. It’s not your fault. And it’s just that they’re– they’re–almost identical.

Yeah, wellI rented this from the costume shop off the square so I’ll bet Abigail got hers at the same place.

Yeah, she–she always went all-out for Halloween.

Yeah, I’m sureespecially with the kids. Well, I will go change.

Hey, no, no, no. Wait. Don’t do that. You put so much effort into it. And you look– you look beautiful.

No, no, no. It’s not a lot of effort. It’s just a costume. And I don’t want to wear something that upsets the kids. Or you, either. Today is supposed to be funright? Just give me a minute.

I mean, this is some pretty sticky stuff. I might need a little help scrubbing it off. Might be in some hard-to-reach places.

Uh-huh. I don’t really think showering with you falls under roomie dutiesmister.

Oh. Well, I don’t think we are just roomies, miss, right? I think we’re a little bit more than that.

Okay, look.

[sighs] I know that we slept togetherlike, really, really fast but I think that now that we’re living together we should perhaps hold off.

Because?

Because… as I said we should get to know each other, right? You know? Like, maybe you could buy a girl a lunch.

[Alex chuckles sarcastically]

I think I said something like that, but sure, yes. I think I can do that especially considering I just inherited, like a gazillion dollars. I can spare it. I will be back.

[suspenseful music]

[Theresa sighs]

Boy. Long game, indeed.

[soft upbeat music]

Wow, don’t you look dashingCount?

I figured I’d go with a classic.

Uh, Stephaniewhat are you going as? Like, a potential victim, or–

Uh…

[Chad chuckles] No, I, um, I-I just decided not to wear my costume.

Oh. Why is that?

I realized that the, uh the costume I had just wasn’t the right thing. And it didn’t really fit me.

I’m sorrybut I need to get to work.

Ooh.

Mm. Hey, listen, Count. Why don’t you come by the blood bank later and you can, uhdrum up some business?

Ah, yes.

Have fun with the kiddos. Bye, ladies! both: Bye.

See you.

Stephaniecome see our candy.

Wow! Whoa, you really hit the jackpot, huh?

Chad? I need to talk to you.

Well, it sounds like Konstantin has been a great comfort to you.

He has been, actually. Meeting someone who knew Victor for so long I mean, who can tell you things about him that you didn’t even know yourself?

That’s wonderful. I’m grateful that Konstantin can give you that. Well, I’m afraid that, uhhe’s not equally fond of me. I had some unfortunate business dealings with his family, you see.

Yeah, he-he mentioned itI think.

Well, he’s not here for me. He’s here for you.

Mm.

And I’m glad you have someone you can lean on. Although for the recordyou can always lean on me.

I appreciate that, Xander. Your friendship means so much to me.

[soft sentimental music]

We’re more than friendsMaggie. We’re family.

[softly] Yeah.

[Maggie’s hand pats Xander’s back]

[Xander sighs] Yes, yes, we are family. And we always will be, Xander because of that beautifullittle baby.

[Xander sighs]

[Maggie laughs]

She’s really beautifulisn’t she?

Yes, she is.

[Xander chuckles] And she deserves to be loved and cared for by both of her parents. So for her sake I hope so much that you and Sarah… well, you can work things out.

Whatever you have to doit will be more than worth it if it means keeping this little baby with you where she belongs.

[Victoria fussing]

I’m hoping so. Anyway I know that my mother is very happy that you are here and you have been such a comfort to her.

That is very kind of you to say.

And I’m running late. I have an errand. And I need to find this little one’s nanny so that she can put her down for a nap.

What? I ran into the nanny upstairs. If you’d like, I can take the little one up to her.

Are you sure?

[chuckles] Of course! I am no stranger to babies.

[chuckling] Okay. And Victoria has clearly already taken a liking to you.

[Victoria cooing excitedly]

Well, I should hope so. Because I am most clearly crazy about her.

[both laugh]

Okay. Thank you so much. And I love you, little one.

[smooches]

[Konstantin sighs]

[softly] Thank you.

[Victoria cooing excitedly]

Yes. Agapoula mou. Yes.

[Victoria cooing]

[soft tense music] I hate to break it to you…

[whispers] But your namesake is one horrible son of a bitch.

[Victoria crying] Yes, he is. And I intend to get all his money. Yes, I do.

[Victoria crying]

You expecting someone?

Just those damn protesters who showed up at Titan earlier.

Doubt they followed you here.

Yeah, can’t be too careful.

Don’t worry. You got it all off.

Yeah, well, it would have been a lot easier if I had… somebody to help spot check.

[soft dramatic music]

I’ll tell you what.

Mm?

The next time you’re doused in corn syrup and red food coloring…

[Alex chuckles] I’ll be sure to take a cursory peek.

Just a peek?

Well, well, well. If it isn’t Salem’s newest roommates.

[sighs] What do you want, Xander?

Nothing from you, believe me. But you…

Mm?

I feel like I didn’t give you a proper warning yesterday so I’ll do it now. You’re making a huge mistake being anywhere near this woman.

Uh, I’m sitting right here. I can hear you.

YeahI think I can handle myself.

Don’t be so sure. Theresa is a grade-A manipulator.

[spoon clatters on plate]

Again I’m sitting right here.

The only reason someone like her offers to spend time with someone like you is because she’s after your fortune.

[mysterious tense music]

Maggie, you’re home!

Oh. Hello, Konstantin.

Aside from always being delighted to see you while you were out a gift I had made for you was delivered.

Oh, Konstantin. That’s very sweet of you. But it’s completely unnecessary.

Of course it’s necessary! You’ve been gracious enough to let me stay here. The least I can do is repay you for your kindness.

Oh. Oh, heavens. My kindness doesn’t need repaying. and even if it did, I mean you gave me that beautifullovely photo album. And it helped me feel so much closer to Victor seeing him in those pictures.

I’m glad those photos brought you so much comfort. Just like I hope this gift will.

[delicate dramatic music]

Oh, my goodness. What is this? What is this? Oh, my God. Oh.

[Maggie sighs softly]

Hey.

Hi, Kayla.

Hi, Sarah.

Now a bad time?

No, never. Not for you. It’s wonderful to see you. How’s little Victoria?

Oh, she’s amazing. And I am exhausted.

[chuckles]

Oh, yeah. I remember those first few months. They are brutal.

[chuckling] Mm-hmm.

But it’s to be expectedright? And you do not look exhausted.

Aw.

You look great.

[chuckles] You’re sweet. You’re lying, but you’re sweet.

[chuckles] Not.

[Sarah chuckles] Where is that little beauty? Did you bring her in for a checkup?

No, um, she’s at home. Um, I came in because, uh there’s something I was hoping you could help me with.

Sure. If I can, I’m happy to. What do you need?

[soft dramatic music]

A job.

[soft upbeat music]

What’s going on?

Well…

[sighs] I’m sorry I brought up the subject of marriage the other night. But I didn’t realize it at the time. Kayla just told me that Stephanie said you told her you didn’t see yourself getting married anytime soon.

Right. I mean, Steph and I, we– we–we talked about it. She feels the same way I do.

Oh.

It seems like we’re on the same page about it.

Are you? I don’t know, man. I think you may need to turn to a new page.

I-I didn’t know that you had decided to stay in town.

Um, yeah, yeah. I-I am definitely staying. Um… I don’t know how much you’ve heard, but.. Xander is suing me for full custody of Victoria.

Oh, no. Wellyou can’t really be worried that a judge would grant that?

Um…

[sighs] I didn’t think so, but Justin said that one very well could because I lied about her paternity. Oh, Kayla, I’m so sorry. I’m just–I’m doing everything in my power to make sure that I look like the best parent possible for my daughter. I mean, hell, I am doing everything in my power to be the best parent for my daughter. But you know now Rex and I are getting a divorce. And my situation is just a lot more precarious now.

[somber music]

I see.

And Xander…

[sniffles] Will probably use anything and everything. So, umI just want to be prepared. And showing the court that I am gainfully employed would really help my prospects.

Well, are you sure you’re ready to come back to work? I mean, you have a newborn.

Um, yeah, yeah. I, um, I-well–

[sighs] I was-I was hoping that I could just start off as part-time and then slowly work my way up to full-time hours.

Well, you know what? Now that’s something that’s going to work. I have a doctor who just resigned. He was working part-time.

[Sarah sighs] So as long as you’re ready to start pretty soon?

I will start as soon as you want. I’ll start right now.

No, no. You don’t need to do that. No, listen. I’m getting my assistant to get the paperwork together. We’ll email you, okay?

[Sarah sobs happily] All right.

Thank you, Kayla.

Hush. Listen, I’m sorry you’re going through all this. But I’m happy to have you back.

[Sarah chuckles]

Thank you so much. I’ll see you soon.

Bye.

[Sarah sniffles]

[Kayla sighs]

Oh, for God’s sake, Alex. Don’t listen to him. Ugh.

[clears throat] Our living situation has absolutely nothing to do with money. And not that it’s any of your business but I asked Alex out before I even knew he was Victor’s son.

My, my, what an unbelievably lucky coincidence. Emphasis on unbelievably.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Just I wouldn’t be surprised if you somehow had some inside information about Victor’s will.

Xander, get lost, huh?

How would I know what’s in Victor’s will?

Well, I couldn’t say. But I do know where there’s a will in this case, Victor’sthere is a way.

Oh, for God’s sake.

Listen to me, Alex. You need to watch your back with this one. Theresa comes across all sweetness and light but she can turn on you on a dime. Let’s not forget she wanted our cousin, Brady, so badly that she accused me of raping her. Falsely, I might add. I still went to jail for it.

And I have worked so, so hard to make amends. I mean, look at me. I’m a totally different person now.

Mm. So you say. But to me you look like the same conniving witch you’ve always been. Word to the wiseif it were me I’d guard that fortune with my life.

Oh, my goodness. It’s beautiful.

[gasps softly] Oh. How on Earth did you have it done?

It was very simple, really. I found an artist here in townI brought him a photograph and he was able to bring Victor to life.

He certainly did that.

Yes.

You both did. Oh, I just can’t get over it. It’s too much.

This is nonsense! It is never too much! Victor was such a wonderful man. I want you and everyone else to-to-to- to feel his presence here.

[somber tense music]

Steph and I are on the same page. You think we need to turn the page? Uh, I’m sorry. I-I-I don’t know if I understand what you’re getting at, Steve.

Okay.

Stephanie may have told you that she doesn’t want to get married right now. But she’s moved in with you. She’s gotten close to your kids. I mean, anyone can see how committed she is to you and your family. And if I know my daughter that means she’s hoping for marriage. Now, I understand your situation is complicated. You’re still grieving Abigail. My heart goes out to you. But if you’re not willing to give Stephanie everything she wants to give you right now then you need to end it.

Just give me a minute to explain.

Okay, hold on a second. You need to end itnot just for Stephanie’s sake but for Charlotte’s and Thomas’, too. Okay? Because the longer you let this thing go on the more painful it’s going to be for those kids.

I would never do anything to hurt my kids.

That’s right. That’s right. As a parent, you never want to see your kids hurt. And that’s exactly why I need to protect Stephanie. So Chad, if you’re not in it for the long haul you need to tell her. You need to tell her now.

Hey, you two. How’s it going? Is, uh, is something wrong? Is everything okay?

No. Everything’s good, baby girl. I’ve got to go.

You know what? I got to go, too. So nice to see you bothyour children. Oof. Beautifully behaved. Well done.

[Marlena and Chad chuckle]

Thank you.

Mm.

I’ll walk you out.

Happy Halloween, Count.

Yes.

[bittersweet music]

[soft dramatic music]

Hey! Hello, darling. What a surprise! What are you doing here? I didn’t leave anything at the pub, did I?

No, nothing like that. And I wish I was here just to give you a nice surprise. But–

Uh-oh. What did you do?

I’m afraid I might have caused a problem between Stephanie and Chad.

[Kayla sighs]

[somber music]

Hey, hey.

Hey.

Would you mind watching the kids just a little bit longer? Not too long. I just want to talk to Stephanie.

Sure, yeah, of course. Hey, kids. How about going and looking through Roman’s old movie collection?

Halloween movies?

Yes, of course. Come on. Nothing too scary, I promise.

[suspenseful music]

Okay, what’s going on? Did something happen between you and my dad?

Yeah–no. I mean, it’s– it’s not really about him.

What is it? What are you talking about?

I’m going to ask you something. And-and I want you to be honest with me.

Sure? Go for it.

Were you telling me the truth when you said you didn’t want to get married?

Dude, I get that you think you’re helping. But honestlyyou’re just being rude. So if you don’t mind, Xander we would just like to enjoy a peaceful lunch.

Keep hanging out with herand this lunch might be the last peaceful thing you canenjoy, dude. Whatever. It’s your funeral.

Oh, Sarah. Hey, I’m glad I ran into you. I was going to try and track you down this afternoon but you saved me the hassle.

What do you want, Xander?

I just thought maybe we could, you know grab a coffee?

No.

Talk about this custody thing?

That’s not a good idea.

Oh, because you’re nursing? Well, maybe just a herbal tea or something?

That’s not what I meant. I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to talk about custody without our lawyers present.

[Xander sighs]

Sarah, can’t we just–

No. No, we can’t. I’ll see you in court.

Alex, I hope you didn’t take any of what Xander just said to heart.

Are you kidding me?

[scoffs] Hell no.

[soft dramatic music] Everybody in my family knows Xander blames everybody else for his problems.

[Theresa sighs] Like I said beforeit’s just jealousy that I wound up as Victor’s heir and not him.

Yeah. That is what it is.

[chuckling] It’s jealousy.

[sighs deeply] I mean, thank God he’s not Victor’s son, right?

[scoffing chuckle] What a total jerk.

How does it look?

Perfect.

It is, isn’t it? It’s exactly what this room needs.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Thank you again. What an amazing gift.

No thank yous are necessary. It is my great pleasure.

[Maggie sighs softly]

Oh, goodness. I’m sure I must look a mess. I’m going to fix my makeup. Will you excuse me?

You are looking as lovely as ever. Please take a moment.

[soft dramatic music fades]

[tense music] Ah, Victor, my old friend. You may have screwed me out of your will but it is not over between us yet. Is it?

[chuckles] Why should I settle for a cut of your son’s half when I can take all of your wife’s? And the best thing is… you will get to watch all of it.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Oh, Tate. Come on, I didn’t order croissants. What–

I thought he was working as a dishwasher.

Ah, he was, but Roman, bless his heart, put him on to-go duty.

[sighs] I think he may be screwing these orders up and hoping that he’ll just get fired.

I think he might have remembered that his grandmother likes croissants.

You think I’m being a hard-ass?

[exhales sharply] I think you’re holding him accountable, which is a good thing, and it would be normal for him just to rebel. But I think everybody– everybody–needs a little grace once in a while.

Agreed. I could be overparenting for trying to make up for lost time… for what I can’t give to Rachel right now. But that might be about to change.

Why? What do you mean?

[dramatic music]

Something’s come up, which may help me regain custody of Rachel and… a chance that Kristen may just lose this battle, big-time.

Hey. You haven’t seen Rachel, have you? She keeps disappearing.

Oh, it’s a big house. I’m sure she’ll turn up.

Well, I hope so. I just wanted to say goodbye to her before I leave.

Ah. Where are you going?

Well, EJ is taking me out to lunch at the Bistro. It should be nice to have some brother-sister bonding.

[chuckles softly] Okay, so let’s hear your brilliant idea. How are we going to get Kristen DiMera’s shares and throw EJ on his oh-so-British butt? Uh, brother-sister bonding, huh?

Yeah, you seem surprised.

Well, I just–I didn’t know that you and EJ were buddy-buddy these days.

[chuckles] Well, I am happy to say that we are putting aside our old grudges and getting closer all the time.

[sniffs] All right, Rachel, you have three questions left.

That’s not fair. I would have won yesterday if Holly hadn’t dragged me out for stupid math tutoring.

[chuckles] Okay. But you were this close, and I have no doubt you are going to get it right today.

Okay, okay. Can I have a hint?

Huh, okay. Um… uh, it is big, like, really, really big.

Is it a giraffe? Wait. A hot-air balloon.

Oh, my God! It is a giraffe in a hot air balloon! Ding, ding, ding, ding!

[imitates cheering] Somebody get this super-smart little lady a full ride to Harvard! Oh, and a Happy Meal, right?

What do I really get, Uncle Stefan?

Okay, all right. It is really, really, really cool.

Is it a JoJo Siwa picture with her autograph?

Uh, I don’t know what a JoJo Siwa is, but I have a feeling you’re very warm. So warm, in fact– Hey, somebody, turn on the AC in here, will ya? Hoo!

Is it Taylor Swift tickets?

How–what– who–how–this– Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Yes! That’s exactly what it is!

How did you? Even Mommy can’t score Taylor tickets.

See, that’s the thing, Rachel. I didn’t do anything. You’re going to do the doing.

Wait, what?

There’s just one small condition that has to be met.

[sighs]

I’m sure Clyde would not appreciate you going behind his back to try to influence me.

Okay, okay, I’m sorry, okay? It’s just–look, I don’t want any part of this. Gil, please, I am begging you. There’s got to be another solution here.

You want your son to keep breathing? This is it. There is no other way.

Ava. You, uh–you seem upset. Is something–something wrong?

No. No, I’m fine. I’m fine.

Who’s this guy?

Oh, uh, this–this is Gil Carter. He’s the new owner of the Bistro… and now my new boss.

Oh, the eyeholes keep moving. Oh, I can’t see. And now I can’t breathe! Ugh! This is the worst Halloween costume since– since that Danish beefcake asked me to wear a Nixon mask and call him a terrible, naughty, no-good boy until he had tears streaming down his face. He could have used a friend.

Leo, might I remind you that this was your idea?

Well, I didn’t know it was going to trigger my heretofore latent claustrophobia.

Hmm. Well, if you can think of another way that we can stealthily access your Salem Inn room, grab some cash, and skip town like, you know, proper fugitives–

Believe me, I am eager to get my custom Italian suit, crocodile-skin loafers, but we don’t have another costume option. Ugh, I hope no one sees us wearing these sheets and thinks we forgot our pointy hats. That’d be a big fat yikes.

Relax. It’s a great idea. They’re going to just think we’re ghosts. This costume is–well, it’s as old as Halloween itself. But, hey, um, perhaps it’s not claustrophobia that you’re feeling. Perhaps you’re just, uh, a little bit nervous.

Why would I be nervous? Just because if we get recognized, my entire life becomes a dumpster fire?

Yeah. Yeah, that.

[chuckles] Listen to me, Leo. You do realize that you have an out here. Remember, I am the fugitive. You, my darling, you are just along for the ride.

[sighs]

I need you to ask yourself… is this really what I want to do? Because this might be the last chance you get to change your mind.

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

So Gabi says that she and Stefan are going to help you get your daughter back, and you didn’t ask how or why?

Mm. I’d rather not know any more than I need to. You know, plausible deniability and all that.

[laughing] Okay, that’s a strategy. But, you know, I’m–I’m– I’m fond of Gabi. But I can’t help but wonder if maybe there’s something in this for her.

I would guess that, most likely, Kristen probably pissed Gabi off. And as far as Stefan is concerned, we all know that as sure as the sun rises in the east, that one DiMera’s probably stabbing the other in the back. But, Marlena, I don’t care about any of that. I don’t want to be involved in it–all that palace intrigue. I… I just want my daughter back.

[dramatic music]

I call BS.

[gasps] Please don’t tell Mommy I said that.

I won’t say a word.

But I still call BS.

Look, kid, I’m just trying to help you here. I–

[sighs] All right, look…

[clears throat] I know how much you and Holly love Taylor Swift. And online the other day, I saw an ad for a Halloween costume contest. And the grand prize– front-row seats to the Taylor Swift concert. And my first thought was, bing! My niece, Rachel–she is so creative, she’s going to win this thing, hands down.

But my mom– she wouldn’t let me be a pirate wench. So now my costume’s so stupid.

Well, don’t you worry, my dear. You are in luck, because we have a fashion designer in residence. You got this in the bag.

[sighs]

Yes, well, EJ and I are on fine terms lately. He’s just so thrilled that his mother is alive that he wants to go out and celebrate.

With you?

Yes, with me.

[chuckles] Look, he was upset that Susan had to leave town, and, uh… well, apparently I remind him of her.

Oh, wow. Paging Dr. Freud.

All right, just, whatever the reason is, I’m just so happy that my brother and I have gotten close again. All right, well, if you’ll excuse me, I am going to continue my search for Rachel.

Ah.

Okay, well, to state the obvious, Kristen’s not going to willingly sign those shares over to us, right?

Right. So how are we going to make that happen?

Through her Achilles’ heel, of course.

And what would that be?

Who would that be.

Oh, yes, Rachel, of course, the apple of her eye. You know, actually, I just remembered. Harold did say something about taking Rachel out to carve a pumpkin.

Oh. Well, that was very sweet of him.

Yeah, he’s crazy about her. I mean, who isn’t, right? Go, enjoy your lunch. I’ll tell her you said goodbye.

Okay. Thank you.

Well, uh, congratulations. I knew you’d get something, but I had no idea that you, uh, applied for the Bistro.

Right. Well, you know, you and I talked about how maybe I could find a job in the culinary arts, and this sort of just, uh– it sort of fell in my lap.

[chuckles]

I’m sorry, and you are?

Oh, I-I’m sorry. This is my friend Harris Michaels.

And I’m Detective Jada Hunter, his partner.

You’re cops?

We are.

Well, it’s a pleasure to meet some of Salem’s finest. And thank you for everything that you do for our community.

You know, and I got to say, I just love your restaurant. So you will be seeing plenty of me.

[chuckles] And, hey, maybe you could consider putting the French onion soup back on the menu?

[scoffs] Of course, anything for the boys in blue.

And girls.

Right, and girls. Now, if you’ll excuse us, I was just about to give our newest team member a little tour of the kitchen.

If I was going to leave you, love of my life, high and dry, would I be here right now wearing these ridiculous sheets? Now, come on, you big handsome lug, let’s do this!

Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. I just–I got to– I got to get this out. Um, when you very bravely sprung me from that hospital, you didn’t exactly have a chance to pause and think all of this through. So let’s just– let’s just pause now. Okay, um…

[chuckles] Leo, not too long ago… you were promised a cut of the Von Leuschner fortune. And now here we are with $ and change and, uh… well, two bedsheets to our name. Darling, it’s not lost on me that this is not the deal that you signed up for.

It was never about the money, ever. It was about you making me happier than I’ve ever been.

I know, but–

There’s no buts. There’s no buts. Shut up. Now kiss me.

[sighs]

Good for Ava. That’s a plum job for someone fresh out of Bayview. Sorry, I didn’t mean–

No, no, no, I get it. I-I didn’t think Rafe would hire me either, so…

Oh, come on. You have a résumé, a skill set.

Yeah, Ava does, too, but–

But what?

I don’t know. Something with that guy Gil just felt off.

Hmm.

What do your instincts say?

I think you’re being protective of Ava. I mean, you cared about her enough to bust her out of Bayview and traveled halfway around the world to help her find Susan Banks.

Okay. So, in other words, you think I’m just– I’m just being overprotective.

Or maybe I want to give Gil the benefit of the doubt. I do like his restaurant.

Yeah. I’m probably just being overprotective.

[dramatic music]

Why didn’t you tell me you were tight with the cops?

You didn’t ask.

This is not good for business. Damn it, I don’t need law enforcement sniffing around this place.

Okay, let’s not forget– you and your boss, Clyde, strong-armed me into taking this job. If I cut ties with Harris now, how’s that going to look? Rather suspicious, no? So, if you want me, you’re stuck with him.

[gasps] Or here’s a great idea. Why don’t you find someone else to run your little drug-front operation? Then we can all live happily ever after.

Honey? Are you sure that… Gabi and Stefan aren’t doing something illegal here?

Oh, I don’t– Maybe. I don’t know. I don’t care. I’m–I’m–I’m desperate right now. I want my kid back, and that– that family-court judge– she–she had an ax to grind when she gave Kristen full custody of–of my kid. There’s nothing I can do about it. My only recourse is if–if Kristen goes off the rails and does something to jeopardize Rachel. That’s it. I don’t want her to do that, and she’s not going to do that. But you know her. She plays dirty. And if I want to fight her, I have to do the same. Right?

I don’t know. Are you sure the two of you can’t work out some sort of a-a co-parenting agreement?

A co–there’s no– We’re talking about Kristen. There’s no co-parenting. There’s no good faith. There’s none of that. I don’t care what Gabi and Stefan are up to. I know they have their own agenda, but as long as our interests align, I’m going to take whatever–whatever help I can get to get Rachel back.

[sighs]

Hey, where’s little Rachel? Do you have any updates?

Oh, yeah. You’ll be happy to hear she’s trying on concert outfits as we speak.

Okay, good. We can talk. Listen, our plan– we need to step it up. Kristen just told me EJ is taking her out to lunch to celebrate that his mother’s not dead, and we both know what the first topic of conversation is going to be.

Her DiMera shares.

Right. So we need to get sway over Kristen before EJ does, and we need to do it quickly.

Okay, well, Rachel’s game, so, uh, what are we waiting for?

Are you talking about me?

Hey! I was actually just telling Gabi what an incredible team you two are going to make. Why don’t I leave you ladies at it? Hmm?

[chuckles]

Okay, so I want to be a vampire princess who’s also a pop star, like this girl I saw on TikTok.

Oh, well, you know what? I was thinking, yeah, something else.

But… Whoa.

Check this out. Oh, yeah.

[groans] Please be here! Please be…here!

What? No. This feels a little too–

Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy?

Yeah!

You know what this reminds me of? That time my writer friend Denise and I pitched this show to a big studio. Standing in front of all the big suits, and I say, it’s “Ghostbusters” meets– you’re not going to believe this–“Magic Mike.” You should have seen their jaws drop.

Huh. Well, I just can’t believe we waltzed right past Detective Hunter in the middle of the square, completely unnoticed. By the way, why was she with Harris Michaels?

Maybe they’re having a thing. Who cares? We just need to keep our wits about us and stay one step ahead of them.

Hmm.

All right, so what do you think– we head up to Stark’s room?

Yeah, I can imagine that the hotel management wants that crime-scene tape removed.

You think a fresh set of eyes is going to do some good, huh?

[sighs] Well, you have a history with the Von Leuschners, so you probably have an angle that we haven’t seen yet. And besides, Leo and Dimitri, they could be long gone from Salem by now. And if they fled our jurisdiction, then it’s on to the next case for us.

[sighs]

I assume you’re here regarding the plan.

I am. First, I need assurance that you’re in– like, inin.

Inin, yeah. I’m in, ,%. I’m compelled to ask you a question, though. Uh, should I be worried about what’s in this for you and Gabi?

No, not at all. I mean, it’s… it’s family stuff. I could get into the minutiae of it all, but that would bore you.

Yeah. All right, spare me the details. That’s fine. I do want to tell you I appreciate this, though… you helping me get my daughter back. I really do. And I know that you and I– we didn’t get off on the best foot after your… comeback.

Couldn’t agree more. Usually kidnapping and trying to un-brainwash me with an ice-cream scoop and a waffle iron would be a deal-breaker.

Hmm.

But if you hadn’t have done that, I wouldn’t have gotten my life back, so I’m grateful.

[dramatic music] Well, time is of the essence.

Right. Tell me what you need me to do.

Kristen’s on her way to the Bistro. I need you to intercept her.

Got it. Tell me more.

This is so much fun.

Isn’t it? But you have to make sure you keep your face very still. It’ll be worth it, I promise.

Okay.

[chuckles] You know who you remind me of? You remind me of my little girl, Ari. She loves Halloween. I wonder if they celebrate Halloween in New Zealand. Well, anyway, you are finished, and I have to say, you look amazing.

I really do.

Right?

So… you think you can pull this off?

Are you kidding me? Pick a fight with Kristen and make it look real? I do that in my sleep. I can pull this off.

[dramatic music] You know Rachel loves me. You know she needs me in her life. You know that.

Brady, I know that. I know how you’re feeling right now.

[scoffs] I know what it feels like to be kept from our daughter.

Right, so, please…

Look, I’m not finished.

Tell the judge–

I’m not finished. I’m not finished. I’m not finished. I also know what it felt like to watch you try to replace me in Rachel’s life with Chloe Lane.

Oh, my God, Chloe– I did not do that.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, and uh, you and I don’t agree on much… but we do agree on what’s best for Rachel. Now… I listened to the judge lay out your case against you. And… as much as I-I once loved you… I had to agree with her. Now, I’m going to abide by her ruling.

Kristen, Kristen–

You’re going to listen to me now. I am going to abide by her ruling, and I hope that you do, too. And please do not worry. You will get to see your daughter.

[sighs] Your visits will have to be supervised, of course.

I’m not gonna have super–

Okay.

Kristen. Kristen.

Oh, hello, Kristen.

Marlena, what are you doing here?

I-I brought a little Halloween goody bag for Rachel.

Oh.

[chuckles] Well…

I’d like to give it to her myself.

Oh, well…

[sighs] She’s moved on from glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth, and I don’t allow her to eat candy. But it was very thoughtful of you.

Well, I– I came all this way. I’d like to see my granddaughter. I… I miss her.

Yeah. Well, she doesn’t miss you. Goodbye, Marlena.

Wow, it looks so real.

Yeah, that’s the point.

[chuckles]

I can’t wait to show Mommy it.

Well, actually, I was thinking we could surprise Mommy. You know, one second. Let me just make sure that we did everything right to enter this contest. Oh, no!

What?

Oh, it says here that you can’t have help with your costume from anybody but your parents.

Does that mean I can’t enter the contest? But I want those tickets!

I know, I know. Don’t worry, Rachel. It’s okay. There’s always a workaround, right?

Do you have your wallet?

Check.

Do you have your phone?

You know I don’t have my phone. You saw me toss it in the lake.

Slipped my mind. Do you have your keys?

Keys? Keys for what? We don’t own anything!

Good point. I have my estranged aunt’s debit card. This is for emergencies only… or if we want to have une soirée of high-society culinary delights, perhaps at the Café-du-Whatever on the Champs-Elysees.

That sounds lovely, darling, but we really have to go.

Okay, do I at least have time to use the bathroom before we become international fugitives?

Yes, but quickly, quickly. Go.

[object clatters

Do you see what happens when you rush people?

Quickly, Leo!

Okay!

[exhales deeply]

[sighs]

When Clyde Weston pulls you in, the only way you’re getting out of the arrangement is in a body bag.

Okay. I will do my job. But I can’t do anything about Harris. Look, I mean, I can– I can tell him I don’t like to, uh… eat where I work, and that’s true.

You raise a good point.

About what?

The cops. Maybe this fraternization thing you’ve got going on isn’t such a bad thing after all. Maybe we can actually make it work in our favor.

Wait a minute. The crime-scene tape– it’s been tampered with.

Well, maybe housekeeping got impatient. Wait, you don’t think Leo would be stupid enough to show up here again, do you?

We’re about to find out.

[dramatic music]

[sighs] Damn it!

Was that pitcher there the last time you were here?

No, it wasn’t. Still damp. We must have just missed them.

Wait a minute. What about– what about those two ghosts, the ones we passed in the lobby a few minutes ago?

Let’s go.

Okay, we got to grab the burner phones, the SIM cards, and then we vamos!

Wait, wait. We need sustenance, too. I’m starving. And we have to get hair dye, remember.

Okay, okay.

Kristen, hi.

Brady.

Uh, can I have a word?

Uh, yes, but I am on my way to lunch.

Well, it won’t take more than a minute. Promise.

All right.

[chuckles]

Um, I want to say thank you for allowing Tate to see Rachel the other day. He said he had a great visit with her.

Well, I am so glad that he enjoyed it. Though if you’re asking to tag along next time, the answer’s no.

No, that’s–that’s okay. I actually–I wanted to talk to you about something else.

Okay, would you just please make it quick?

Sure, I’ll make it quick. Um, I got an email from Rachel’s teacher. Apparently Rachel has a D in math.

Yeah, and that’s why I got her a tutor.

Yeah, you got her Holly Jonas. No, don’t get me wrong. Holly Jonas is a– is a sweet girl, but is that the best you could do? Really?

Rachel just needs a little brushing up on some of her learning gaps.

Well, that’s because you put her in a mathematical level that she’s not ready for.

Okay, she’s too smart for regular math.

Kristen, she’s struggling in math.

Okay, so what are you saying? What are you saying? That our daughter isn’t smart?

No, of course I’m not saying that.

She takes after your side of the family. Just saying.

Ooh.

So now if we are through with this–

Hey! We’re not through yet.

[scoffs]

All right. Are you ready, Freddy?

No. Where’s the rest of my costume? I can’t be a black-eyed pea without the pea part.

Right, yes, I have to sew it still. But I’m a great seamstress– very fast. You’re going to be the prettiest black-eyed pea in the whole wide world, okay? Okay, well, are you ready for your close-up? Great.

[camera shutter clicking]

Kristen, listen to me.

No, no, no, you listen to me. I have custody of Rachel now, not you. And I will make the decisions on her schooling. I thought you understood how this worked, Brady.

Jada! There.

Wow. Well, that was quick. You always so fickle?

I prefer to call it flexible.

[scoffs]

But I’m not quite clear on your relationship with this Harris guy.

Makes two of us.

[grunts] But I get the impression you two are pretty tight, which means… we get the inside track on what’s going on at the Salem PD. And if their nose is all up in our business, you’ll know. You’ll make sure to know.

[dramatic music]

Word to the wise– Harris Michaels is a trained assassin. If I were you, I would tread very carefully.

Duly noted. Word to the wise to you– don’t go spilling your guts to your “cop/trained assassin” friend. Just remember… Clyde’s got eyes and ears everywhere.

Dimitri Von Leuschner and Leo Stark, you’re under arrest!

Who?

Who?

[sighs]

[laughs]

Oh, my God, Dimitri! We actually did it!

We did it! We did it! And you know why? Because you are brilliant, as I’ve always said– and fearless.

You are fearless, DVL, aka MP. Although I’m sad they were out of that hair dye. I was really looking forward to my Zac Efron moment.

Darling, you can have your Zac Efron moment. You can have your Jude Law moment. You can have whatever moment you want. It is all yours for the taking.

Ah, you know, I’m feeling a memoir coming on.

Oh.

I can see it now. I’ll be a guest on “The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon holding up a copy of “Overcoming Contempt, Disrespect, Ridicule, and Scorn with Chutzpah and Grace: The Ascent of Leo Stark.”

Except there is no contempt. There is no scorn. And why? Because we did it.

Uh, yeah, we did! Although I realize I was remiss just now.

How come?

Well, when I write my memoir, aside from attributing my ascent to–to my chutzpah and grace, I must also add the love and devotion of one Dimitri Von Leuschner, because you, my love, are the main reason for my revivification.

Oh. Is that so?

It is so. And it is about time I show you just how revived I am.

Look– Hey, listen, Kristen, listen. I-I know we’re not getting along lately, okay? And I know that we may hate each other’s guts right now, but we do have one thing in common, right? We want what’s best for Rachel. Now, you have full custody. But, remember, I was a single parent to her for many years. I was the one packing the lunches. I was the one taking her to the parent conferences. I was the one making sure she was early for ballet practice, minutes most of the time.

Brady, Brady, what is your point?

My point is, Tate– he told me that Rachel was very upset the other day. Apparently she didn’t want to do her homework, and you made her do, like, pages worth of extra problems or something.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Pages worth? Seriously?

Yeah.

Come on, Brady. She’s exaggerating.

No, I don’t think she is. And if you keep this up and keep punishing her like that, it’s not gonna go well.

Don’t–don’t–don’t– don’t accuse me of punishing my daughter! Jeez! There are consequences if she doesn’t do her homework.

Mm-hmm.

I am a trained social worker. I know what I’m doing, Brady.

Oh– I don’t think you do.

What? Don’t– She’s my daughter! Which means I will discipline her in any way I see fit!

[softly] Perfect.

Rachel, tell me. So who did this to you? Who–who gave you that black eye?

My mommy did.

Are you sure?

Yes, I’m sure.

You wouldn’t make up something like that, would you?

No, never. How did I do?

You were perfect.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EDITING!

 

Thank you for calling me back, Mrs. Eckert. Yes, I was very excited about the personal chef job, but I found another opportunity.

[soft dramatic music] Well, let’s just say that they made me an offer that I can’t refuse. Absolutely. Thank you.

[phone beeps] Damn you, Clyde Weston.

[phone rings]

[sighs]

[phone beeps] Good morning.

Morning. I got your text. What’s up?

Oh, nothing. I just wanted to wish you a good first day at the Salem PD.

Well, thank you. Um, it feels like it’s been about years since I’ve been at the police academy, so I–I hope I know what I’m doing out there.

You’ll be great.

You OK? You sound a little stressed.

Me? No, I’m–I’m fine.

Ava, you’re– you’re gonna get a job. Something’s gonna come along soon. I promise.

Yeah, here’s hoping. Hey, you be careful out there, OK?

Will do. Hey, I’ll–I’ll call you when my shift ends, OK?

Sounds good.

You got a job?

Thanks to you. You encouraged me to talk to Rafe, and it turns out, he did have a spot for me. And you were also right about him needing help dealing with the criminals in this town.

[soft country music]

[knocking]

May I help you?

[suspenseful music]

You’re Ava Vitali, right?

Who’s asking?

I’m a friend of Clyde Weston’s. He asked me to stop by to see how your son is doing.

God.

Mm.

[sighs]

Are you OK? Is it your arm?

No, I tried to not sleep on the spot where the guy cut me, but now I have a stiff neck. Oh.

OK.

You may be the doctor, but I think I can help with that.

Mm. Oh, my God. Wendy, that feels amazing. Oh, if you could just move.

[groans] A little to the right.

Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah. Ooh. Now back to the left.

OK.

Yes.

[groaning] Oh, you really give a great back rub. Great everything.

Well, it really is the least I can do to thank you for getting me out of that horrible hospital. And you should know that this is just the beginning of my expressions of gratitude. There’s a lot more magic where that came from.

[chuckles]

Have I told you how happy I am? We’re together. We’re safe.

Hidden away where no one will ever find us.

[tender music]

[door slams]

Rise and shine, boys. You’re under arrest.

[suspenseful music]

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

Put your hands in the air. Now!

And get out of the bed, slowly.

But we’re naked.

Well, I’m sure it’s nothing we haven’t seen before.

And I’m sure you’re wrong because, you see, Dimitri has a magic penis.

Great. Well, he can put on shows for the other boys at Statesville for the next to life. Now get the hell out of the bed now.

All right, all right.

Wait. Dimitri, the sheet, it’s– it’s tangled. I can’t–I can’t see. Help me. I can’t breathe! Dimitri! Help! Whoa.

Hey, whoa.

[hyperventilating]

Hey, it’s OK. Bad dream?

Oh, my love, it was horrible. I was terrified.

What happened?

Well, you and I were here sharing an intimate moment, and we were– we were interrupted in the most awful way.

By who?

The police.

[dramatic acoustic music]

Thank you again for coming in.

Ugh, listen, I was happy to give you my statement.

Yeah, just sign at the bottom there.

OK. OK.

I’m sorry this happened to you.

[scoffs] You know, I still can’t believe it, that Dimitri would handcuff me to a hospital bed while Leo Stark helped him escape.

Yeah, I’m just glad you’re all right.

Thank you. Listen, I know that you are not supposed to comment on ongoing investigations, but since I am, sort of, right in the middle of the whole thing, can you make an exception?

Well, what do you want to know?

Do you have any leads on catching these two bozos?

[sighs] Not yet. We’re a little short staffed at the moment, which I am working on.

So Rafe actually hired you?

Well, you sound surprised.

Well, I suppose I am.

Well, if you didn’t think Rafe was gonna hire me, why’d you tell me to ask him for a job?

Well, because I knew the Salem PD could use someone like you, someone who had the skills and intelligence, but I also thought the vetting– the vetting process would be more involved and your past employment would probably raise a few red flags.

Oh, yeah, it did, as did the fact that I was committed to a mental institution. But Rafe knows that my working for Megan wasn’t my choice.

Yeah, well, as a member of that Megan Hathaway survivors club, I can certainly know what you’re talking about. That woman could create havoc.

Yeah, she doesn’t control me anymore. I was completely deprogrammed at Bayview, and I’m still seeing Dr. Evans on an outpatient basis.

Yeah, no, I know. I know you’re not a danger to anyone anymore, but I also know Rafe is a bit risk-averse.

So even though I’m better now, you think that Rafe is taking a chance on me?

Well, no, I don’t think so. I–well, I do know, though, that your past associates and current associates could give him pause.

Who–who are you talking about, Kate? I mean, who am I associating with that might– might be a problem?

Ava. Ava Vitali.

Oh, are you the son of a bitch that hurt Tripp, slashed him with a scalpel? You know, maybe I ought to do the same thing to you.

Heard all about the famed Vitali temper. Don’t do anything you’ll regret.

Oh, you hurt my son, I won’t regret a damn thing.

I’d dial it down if I were you, lady. But for the record, I never laid a hand on your son.

[suspenseful music]

Mm, you keep doing that, we’ll never leave this bed.

I would love that, but I do need to get up and look for a job today.

Oh, man, look no further. I think you found your calling.

This isn’t work, OK? I like taking care of you.

And I appreciate it. I mean, oh, man, do I appreciate it. Oh.

Now does that feel better?

[sighs] So much better. And there has to be some way I can repay you.

Well, my neck is fine, but there are some other spots that could use some attention.

Well, I’m at your service.

[sensual electronic music]

So you’re not the creep that Clyde sent to attack Tripp?

I’m more middle management. That said, I’m more than willing to get my hands dirty.

Listen, you lay one finger on him, I swear to God–

Here’s the deal.

Shh.

You stay in line, you’re good. You don’t, Clyde’s got plenty of people on his payroll who have no problem putting your boy in the ground.

Here we go. It’s just a bad dream.

But it seemed so real. Rafe was here pointing his big gun at us.

I know, but you’re safe. I got out of that horrible hospital and all the way to this no tell motel on the outskirts of town, where no police officer will ever think to look for us, all thanks to you.

[soft dramatic music]

So what’s our next move? We can’t stay here forever.

Yeah, I know. These sheets are like sandpaper.

No, lover, we can’t stay here because the police are gonna be looking for us, and if we hang around, it’s only a matter of time before my nightmare becomes our reality.

So what should we do?

We’ve got to get out of Dodge.

Well, I can’t believe that I let an imbecile like Leo Stark get the better of me.

Well, don’t– don’t blame yourself. He wasn’t acting alone.

Yeah, but, you know, it’s embarrassing. Being married to Steve all these years, I have seen my fair share of bad dudes, and that I couldn’t handle these two jokers?

Yeah, well, like I said, don’t blame yourself. I mean, it’s Stark and Dimitri Von, whatever the hell his name is. I mean, these guys are two particularly slippery weasels.

I just want them caught.

Well, their mug shots are everywhere. And the minute they come out from whatever rock it is they’re hiding under, someone is gonna see ’em, and they’re gonna call it in. I mean, that’s if one of our officers doesn’t nab him first.

All right. Well, listen, keep me posted, all right?

OK.

Oh, oh, and by the way, I meant to ask you, do you have any leads on the guy who attacked Tripp at the hospital?

Oh, no. Not yet. A junkie with no ID. And good luck with that.

And the hospital security camera footage didn’t help?

Well, we didn’t get a clear shot of his face. And even if we did, I mean, it’d be a challenge to know where to even start with that.

Yeah, you don’t know who he is, you don’t know where to look, right? And you’re short staffed.

Yeah, listen, I understand. Tripp is your stepson. I wish that I could make that case my top priority, but–

I understand. Hey, it’s not the first time that someone on drugs has attacked a member of my staff. I just would like to see the guy off the street and get the help he needs.

You and me both. The truth is, random crimes are much harder to solve, and perps with no motive are much harder to find.

I–I know Rafe and Ava have history, but I don’t see why that matters whether he hires me or not.

Well, I think he might have questions about your relationship with her.

Why? Because their relationship ended badly?

Badly?

[chuckles] She used her ties to the mafia to try to make Rafe look like a dirty cop.

[sighs] Yeah. That was a long time ago.

OK, well, look, if I was the police commissioner, I think I would question hiring an officer who was cozying up to someone, to a woman who tried to ruin my life. You know, and I’m not even exaggerating there. She nearly destroyed Rafe. And I’m not even bringing up what she did to Steve Johnson.

OK, I’m not really into this whole gossip thing.

Oh, this isn’t gossip. This is a warning.

OK, but I thought we were talking about my job.

Yeah, yeah, well, you’ll need to be careful if you get a job as a police officer. You need to be careful if you become romantically involved with Ava.

Ava and I are just friends.

Does she know that? Because you broke her out of Bayview, and then, you took off on the lam with her to London.

Yeah, to rescue Susan Banks.

Mm-hmm, putting your life on the line, that’s a rather grand gesture for someone you don’t have any feelings about.

I–I did feel for Ava. She felt like she had nobody on her side. She needed help, I helped her, and that’s it.

Mm. Well, in my opinion, she didn’t deserve your help.

Well, you know what? You are entitled to your opinion. I should get going.

Hey, wait, wait, wait, look, I like you. I’m rooting for you. I mean, I’m happy that you’re living upstairs. I’m–I’m happy you have a job. And after everything you’ve gone through in life, to be rebuilding your life, that’s a big deal. I don’t want to see Ava derail that for you.

That’s not gonna happen.

OK. Look, you rescued her because that’s what you do. But she’s not a victim. She’s a predator.

Kate, please.

Look… I know that because she either is obsessed about a man or she is using a man. She used my son to launder mob money through Titan.

OK, look, Ava’s told me everything about her past, and she says she left it behind. And don’t you think it would be a little awkward considering her friend is now a cop?

[soft country music]

Hm.

Look, I understand that Clyde needs a new business partner, but I made it very clear that I’m not interested.

And he made it clear that it’s a done deal. You owe him for screwing up his plan.

By accident. I didn’t know that Clyde was planning to force EJ to take over his new empire.

It doesn’t change the fact that you got in the way. Thanks to your interference, Mr. DiMera is no longer an option, which means you need to step up and take his place.

I am telling you, I can’t do that.

I thought yesterday’s incident would be enough of an incentive. Maybe you need a little more convincing.

Mom, is everything OK?

[tense music]

Hey, yeah, baby, everything’s fine. This is–

Gil. Gil Carter.

I’m Tripp.

Nice to meet you, Tripp. Your mom was just telling me about what happened to you at the hospital yesterday. I hope you’re OK.

Oh, yeah, yeah, it could have been worse.

I’m sure.

Listen, when I came in, I heard you tell my mom that she might need some more convincing. About what?

Well, you know the Bistro here in town?

Sure. Yeah, I love that place.

I’m the new owner, and I was hoping that your mother would be my manager. I am so impressed with her skills as a businesswoman, her love of food. I’ve offered her the job several times, but she seems reluctant to commit.

Oh, Mom, this sounds perfect for you. Well, what’s– what’s the problem?

You know, Ava, if you think I’ll treat you differently because of your past, you don’t have to worry about that. I’ve had my own brushes with the law, and I’m a big believer in second chances.

Hey, I’ve made my share of mistakes too. You know, I wouldn’t be practicing medicine if someone in my family hadn’t given me a shot to get my life back on track.

Nothing matters more than family. Am I right?

[chuckles] OK. All right. I’ll take the job. Yes, OK? Thank you, Mr. Carter.

Mom, that’s amazing. Ah, congratulations.

Oh, hey.

[laughter]

That’s amazing.

Oh, hello, Kate.

Hey.

I’m just picking up breakfast.

Oh, I heard what happened at the hospital. Are you OK?

Yes, I just have a bit of a bruised ego. But I’m fine.

So is it true? Did Megan’s psychotic son actually handcuff you to a bed?

Yes, he did. But it was only for a few minutes. I heard he had you prisoner on a boat for longer than that.

God, I still can’t look at a fish without getting nauseous. Please, you have to tell me that the police have tracked him and Leo.

Well, not yet. But Rafe is on it. And he is certain that they’re gonna be caught and put in jail where they belong.

[soft country music]

Winter is coming. The cold is murder on my skin. I say we go west. LA.

[gasps] No, Maui. You’d look very hot in a hula skirt.

Yes, be that as it may, but might I suggest somewhere outside of the country, somewhere where extradition isn’t a possibility.

I agree, my little dim and then sum, but to do that, we need help.

Mm, and I know just the person to help, my dear mother.

Um, no.

What do you mean, um, no?

We’re on the run, honey bun. We have to be stealth, fly under the radar.

Your point being?

Your mother is about as stealth as a fireworks display. She’s all about attracting attention, which is the last thing we need.

All right, well, then do you have a better idea?

Ah, well, there must be someone in this horrid little hamlet who can help us, a friend, another family member.

The only family member that I had a connection with in Salem was my dear Aunt Kristen, and the last time I saw her, she was pointing a pistol at me. And your only friend was…

Gwen.

Right.

My BFF. Last time I saw her, she told me to BFF myself.

Which brings us back to mother. She adores me. She will do anything I ask.

Which is probably the only thing Megan and I have in common. But she’s also a fugitive. We have no idea where she is.

Well, then we’ll have to track her down.

Given that the ISA, CIA, FBI, and every other law enforcement agency on the planet has failed to do so, we have to assume that that is going to take us some time. So we’re gonna have to be on the move, and to do that, we’re gonna need cash.

Then we will pool our funds, and make a plan, and stay right ahead of the police.

[tense music]

How’s it going?

Oh, still no tip on Leuschner or Stark.

You look like you could use a break.

Well, yeah, I have the same caseload and no partner to share it with. I could really use some help.

I agree. That’s why, Detective Hunter, I want you to meet your new partner, Harris Michaels.

[soft dramatic music]

Well, Mayor Price signed off on the hire, so you are officially a member of the force. Welcome aboard.

Well, thank you. I appreciate the opportunity. I do.

Well, we are glad to have you. We’ll get you a gun and a badge. We’ll get you started, as long as you’re still OK with it.

Yeah, when Rafe told me that you were gonna be my new partner, I–I did take a look into your file, and it’s not all pretty.

I know. No, it’s not. But I was hoping this job would give me a chance to start fresh and– and do some good. Look, I don’t want to make any waves. If you don’t feel comfortable, teaming up with me–

I already told the boss here that I think you are more than qualified. And besides, I like the idea of a Navy SEAL having my back.

Well, I’m looking forward to learning a lot from you, Detective Hunter.

First thing to learn, call me Jada.

Jada it is. So you said our first assignment is to find the person who delivered Susan Banks to Edmund Crumb in London. Is that–is that correct?

I did say that, but decided we’re going to focus on something that’s a little closer to home. We need to find these two punks and make them pay.

[soft dramatic music]

$.

And $..

Huh. You know, I thought we had a bit more working capital.

So did I. Where’s the rest of your cash, Mr. Heir to the Von Leuschner fortune?

Well, as you know, my inheritance is in jeopardy at the moment. Besides, who carries cash?

People on the run from the law.

Last I checked, you were one of those people, sweetheart. Where’s your cash?

You expect me to bankroll us, Thelma? Do you know how much newspapers pay these days?

Apparently, enough to buy a $ packey of lotion from the vending machine.

FY eyeball, it was moisturizer. If I don’t nourish my skin three times a day, I start to grow scales. Is that what you want? To cuddle up next to an iguana?

OK, OK, this is hardly an insurmountable problem, Leo. We just need to get our hands on some money.

And I know just where we can find it.

Leo Stark, he’s a real piece of work, isn’t he?

Oh, you mean Nurse Leona. That was his disguise so he could come and grab a wheelchair and roll his boyfriend out of the hospital.

[chuckles] Oh, my God. They’re a couple from hell, aren’t they?

You and Leo go way back, don’t you?

Well, yes, I did take over one of Vivian’s plots to have that lowlife falsely accuse Sonny of sexual harassment.

[sighs] Don’t even remind me. I don’t want to think about it.

Oh, well, don’t you just miss the intrigue and the scheming just a little bit?

No. Yes, a little, I do. But I am happy being married to the ex-police commissioner. You know, it’s probably better than living on the other side of the law, right?

[soft acoustic music]

Oh, Mom, I’m so proud of you. Congratulations.

[chuckles]

Thank you, Mr. Carter.

Please, call me Gil.

Oh, thank you, Gil, for giving my mom this opportunity. You won’t be disappointed.

I’m sure I won’t be.

Have you been in the restaurant business for a while?

I have, actually. But what we’re gonna be doing at the Bistro, exciting stuff.

I’ll bet.

Yeah, I’ll be counting on your mother to keep the operation humming along. Why don’t we head over there now, start figuring out our game plan?

Sure. Love you, Tripp.

Love you too.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, you too.

[suspenseful music]

Was someone here?

[chuckles]

Yes, my mom’s new boss.

She got a job?

Mm-hmm. And a good one too. She’s the new manager of the Bistro.

No way. That’s amazing.

I know.

Wait, so do you get a family discount? Because I could totally eat there every night.

I thought you liked my cooking.

I love your cooking.

Mm-hmm.

But I also love pretty much everything on their menu.

That’s–yeah.

[laughs] Seriously, Tripp, that is amazing news.

I know. I know. I’m really happy for her. She was stressing a lot about finding work, so.

So was I, but I think I happen to have a solid lead on a job myself.

Mm, tell me?

No. I don’t want to jinx it. But I’ll tell you if I get it.

When you get it.

[tender music]

[sighs] Hey.

Hey, you. How’s the arm?

It’s good. It’s good. It’s healing well.

Good. I–I spoke to Rafe, and he is not optimistic about catching the person who did that.

Yeah, I’m honestly not too worried about it.

Well, I am. In fact, I have security on the alert if he shows up here again.

Well, thank you for looking out for me. On a happier note, my mom got a job.

Really?

Mm-hmm. I thought you said yesterday you weren’t even sure if she was staying in Salem.

Well, this was too good to pass up. She’s gonna be managing the Bistro. I just met the new owner. He seems like a super nice guy.

Manage a restaurant? Wow. That’s a lot, long hours, lots of stress. I mean, are you sure that Ava can handle that?

Well, she was a little nervous, but it’s right in her wheelhouse. And it’s honest work. Look, I know you and Dad are concerned about me getting too close to my mom, but like I told you, she’s better now. She’s really dedicated to getting her life back on track, and getting a legit job is a really important first step.

Agreed. But listen, promise me that you will stay cautious. If anything happens or if she seems untethered or something, make sure that you call me or your dad.

I will. But I’m telling you, this job, it’s gonna be good for her.

[soft dramatic music]

Yeah.

Is there a problem?

Yeah, you know, I don’t appreciate you threatening my son.

Why don’t you focus on the positive?

What’s that supposed to mean?

You went straight from the loony bin into a steady job. Like any job, there’s going to be parts you like and parts you don’t. You’re going to be making good money. We’re going to be serving good food.

Yeah? With a side of illegal pills. It’s not a restaurant. It’s a drug front.

Keep your voice down.

I–listen, Gil, we got a problem here. I mean, if you haven’t noticed, my heart isn’t into this, OK? I gave up this kind of business a long time ago, and I’ve got no desire to get back into it. So why don’t you allow me to propose an alternative?

What are you talking about?

I handed my family business over to my cousin Angelo. We’re still tight. So I’m sure that he could recommend somebody who is much more qualified and much more motivated.

You’ll need to speak to Clyde about that.

Maybe not. Gil, come on, you seem like you’re much more reasonable than Clyde, and frankly, a lot smarter too. I consider myself pretty sharp. So why don’t we put our two heads together, come up with a way to let them know that this just isn’t going to work out?

So Leo busted Dimitri out of the hospital yesterday. And–and what? Still no leads?

We have a tip line set up. But so far, no one has called to report seeing them.

Maybe because they’re already long gone.

Yeah, or they’re holed up somewhere in town. We just got to figure out where to look.

Maybe we should start from the beginning.

What do you mean? Go back to Leo’s room at the Salem Inn?

Yeah, well, the manager’s been bugging me to take off that crime scene tape from across the door.

All right.

And maybe with a fresh set of eyes, we might find something that we missed.

It’s worth a shot.

All right.

All right.

In my room at the Salem Inn, I have an envelope stuffed with money.

And here I was thinking that you were but a lowly newspaper man.

I’m a lady, and it’s petty cash. The Spectator gave it to me for minor expenses, pencils, stamps, things like that.

And what do you actually use it for?

I pay off sources. Occasionally, I get a gelato.

That’s my boy. How much is there?

Enough to get us out of town. Problem is, Commissioner Hunky Hernandez probably has our pretty mugs plastered all over town.

Wait a minute. You think he’s hunky?

Darling, focus. We have to figure out how to get from this dump to the Salem Inn in broad daylight, get that moolah without being seen.

I’ll do it. You’ve taken enough chances for me.

No, no, I’m not gonna to risk losing you.

Well, we have to do something. I mean, as much as I’d love to jump back into that bed and hide under the sheets, we just can’t do that.

Maybe we can.

[dramatic music]

[keyboard clicking]

OK, I’m clicking on the file. Why won’t it open?

[clicking] Oh, now the screen is frozen. What the hell? My God. This–

I heard the Department needs a new IT person. Looks like I got here just in time. What’s going on?

Well, my screen’s frozen. Oh, look, now a bunch of ads are popping up.

Can I take a look?

Yes, if you would, please.

Mm-hmm.

[keyboard clicking]

What do you think? Have we been hacked?

Oh, no, this is just some very annoying spyware. Here, I’ll remove it. Done.

Wait. That’s it?

That’s it.

Wow. Oh, fantastic.

[chuckles] I’m so glad we didn’t get hacked.

Oh, you could have been, easily. Your computer is basically a sitting duck. You have no anti-spyware software, obviously. I’m guessing you haven’t installed anything to protect against viruses or malware. And I’ll bet your password is your birthday.

Maybe.

Yeah, you need to up your tech game.

Yeah, OK. Well, then you’re hired.

I’m sorry?

Yeah, yeah, the IT job, it’s yours.

But–but you haven’t even interviewed me or–or seen my resume.

Well, I’ve seen enough. I just saw what you did.

And that was impressive enough to hire me on the spot?

Yes, it was. I mean, there’s also another reason.

And what’s that?

Well, I figure if you’re working for me, then you won’t have the time to make phony passports and help fugitives escape.

[sighs] It’s perfection.

Don’t you think it’s a bit on the nose?

That’s what makes it so brilliant. Today is the Horton Town Scare.

The what?

It’s Salem’s Annual Halloween festival. The square will be packed with people in costumes. Who’s going to bat an eye at a couple of ghosts?

Oh, I don’t know. Perhaps the police officers on patrol?

I’ll tell you what, this doesn’t work, you can ghost me.

[chuckles]

If this doesn’t work, we might both end up dead.

Oh, well, then you can haunt me.

[chuckles]

I’m glad that one of us finds this amusing.

Trust me. Casper, we are gonna to get that money, and we can float right on out of Salem.

[laughs]

[laughs]

So you’re sure that that arm is OK?

It’s fine. I promise, OK? How’s your day looking?

Ah, well, you know, I’m just behind on my charts. And in fact, I haven’t even– I haven’t even started the report about what happened to you yesterday.

Yeah, I–I keep going over the interaction with that patient in my head, just trying to figure out what I did or said to make him come after me.

I doubt you said anything.

Well, I tried to draw his blood. That’s when he got mad. Maybe that was my mistake.

You were only trying to help him.

And failed.

Listen, Tripp, when someone is under the influence of drugs, they’re not thinking clearly. I mean, for all you know, he was hallucinating. He may have looked at you and saw Freddy Krueger.

Yeah, and felt the need to defend himself. I mean, I–I get that. I just wish I knew for sure.

I know. As doctors, we want answers. But unfortunately, we don’t always get them. And when something like this happens with a patient, we may never know his motive.

[soft piano music]

You want to negotiate, haggle with the vendors over the price of artichokes. As far as you being the face of this fine establishment, that’s settled. Not up for discussion.

OK, listen, if you would just–

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I’m gonna make a one time exception and keep your suggestion between us. But I’m sure the Clyde would not appreciate you going behind his back to try to influence me.

OK. Look–look, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, OK? It’s just, I don’t want any part of this. I am begging you, Gil, please. There has got to be another solution here.

You want your son to keep breathing, this is it. There is no other option.

Ava.

[sighs] Hey, you–you seem upset. Is something wrong.

[tense music]

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

This gets more and more exciting, doesn’t it?

Mm-hmm.

I mean, we’re soon to be parents.

[laughter]

According to Melinda, it’s practically a done deal.

This is the best news ever.

[kissing]

Oh, and how was your visit with Mr. Dorsey at the hospital?

Good. Good. Thank you. The doctors are hopeful for a speedy recovery. I’m sorry I was so late. It’s just–I had to step out of the room while they performed the procedure.

Oh, you waited there alone the whole time?

No. Actually, I wasn’t alone. Nicole was there.

[solemn music]

Hold on, let me write that account number down.

No, no, no, no, don’t write on that!

[doorbell rings]

Theresa? I thought it would take you a week to pack.

[suspenseful music]

Brady! Oh, my goodness!

Hi.

[laughs]

I just wanted to…

Oh!

Come see you. Check up on you, see how you’re doing.

Oh, how sweet of you to do this.

Well, I heard a rumor.

Yeah?

That Victor’s friend, Konstantine Meleounis, he was staying here. Is that true?

Yeah, he is. And we had the most wonderful day.

Really?

Yeah, I took him on a little tour of Salem. And when we got back here, he cooked this amazing meal-

all Greek delicacies.

Mm? Mm-hmm.

But sadly, he is leaving tomorrow.

Oh. Is he upstairs packing, or?

No, he went back to town to walk off his dinner. He loves it here in Salem. He wanted to take in some more sights. Hmm.

Hm!

[solemn music]

[sighs]

[knocking on door] Feldman’s here already?

Surprise!

Damn it! Konstantine, I told you to stay put in Greece until you heard from me. What the hell are you doing here?

Let me in, and I’ll tell you. After all, we don’t want anybody knowing that we are friends now, do we?

[suspenseful music]

[soft orchestration] announcer Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

Mm-hmm.

Hm. I got to admit, I was surprised to hear that one of Victor’s friends from the old country just popped in without notice. You weren’t expecting him, right?

No, not at all.

Well, he certainly seemed to have brightened your day a little bit.

Well, he has. I mean, mainly because of his connection to my precious husband. I mean, through Konstantine’s stories and that photo album, I’ve gotten to see a handsome young Victor, who’s got his whole life ahead of him. Hmm.

I guess it’s nice to see you smiling again.

Aw. Aw. Well, that’s thanks to Konstantine. Do you know that he came all this way just to lift my spirits?

[ominous music]

Hm!

What exactly are you doing here?

What kind of friend would I be to the late lamented Victor Kiriakis if I didn’t pay a condolence call on his widow?

You came here to see Maggie?

I brought her an old photo album filled with pictures of a young Victor. I made her a lovely dinner. It’s the least I can do after all. But I also came to catch up with my new friend Theresa. Tell me, dear, are you still trying to get your hooks into Victor’s long-lost son?

Who did you think I was when you were opening the door?

Now why is that any of your business?

Just curious.

What can I do for you, Xander?

Not much, cousin. Just resign as CEO of Titan and give Maggie her job back immediately.

[dramatic music]

I’ll have to call you-

call you back. Did I do something wrong?

No. No. I’m sorry. It’s just that this isn’t scrap paper.

Well, what’s in it?

Just everything we need to know about our baby’s genetic makeup, all in one document.

You got them to print you out another one?

Yeah. After I lost the last copy. But if our baby gets sick, this could prove to be helpful.

True. But there’s another reason to protect this like the precious document it is. It names me as the father of our child. And given that I absolutely adore the mother of our child, it makes me ecstatically happy.

Hm?

Mm-hmm.

Me too.

Mmm? Good.

[laughs]

Nicole has a funny way of just showing up wherever you seem to be, doesn’t she?

Sloan.

No, it’s just-

it’s just that it’s weirdly coincidental. What was she doing at the hospital, anyway? Is the baby OK? Everything’s-

Yes, the baby is fine. She was just refilling a prescription. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s just that I should have never mentioned her. Because every time I mention Nicole’s name, it just upsets you.

Yeah. It seems it does. That’s-

because I’ll admit I’m envious that she’s pregnant. That she can carry a baby to term.

Sloan. As we discussed before, we’re about to be parents. And like I told you, just like I told Nicole before she picked up her baby’s DNA report, that I don’t need to pass along my genes to a child. I just need to love-

Wait, what did you just say? Nicole picked up her baby’s DNA report? You said she was there to pick up a prescription.

Yeah, she did, but she asked the nurse if she could get another copy of the original baby’s genetics because she lost the original.

Oh, my God.

[suspenseful music]

Hey. Are you OK? I mean, you’re starting to look pale.

Am I?

Yeah, by the way you reacted. Why do you even care about the genetic report in Nicole and EJ’s baby?

Oh, I–I don’t. I don’t care. I just–I just thought that Nicole would be, you know, more careful with something that’s so important about her baby. I just–I hope that she takes everything a little bit more seriously with the rest of the pregnancy, that’s all. Um… Oh, I got a text. I–I have to go. It’s a client. He just got arrested. So now I got to go get him a bail hearing and-

Oh, my God, is it that big of an emergency? I mean, like right now?

Yes, right now. We’re on the clock. And if I don’t go right now, then he’s going to have to spend the night in jail. And that just would not be a good thing.

All right. Do you need a-

do you need a ride?

No, I don’t even know how long I’m going to be there, how long it’s going to take. But I’ll call you, OK? Ah, just think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think!

[inhales] OK. OK. I still have the copy of the report that shows that EJ’s the father. And then the envelope couldn’t have been that different that they give Nicole. If I just-

I get there. I swap the envelopes. I just pray to God they haven’t opened it.

Now why don’t I keep this with my documents in the wall safe?

Good plan.

Also, sorry about writing numbers on it before you stopped me.

One, two-

And baby makes three.

Aw.

Would you mind if I took a gander at this before we lock it away?

As if you haven’t memorized everything in it anyway.

Well, that may be true, but I wouldn’t mind reading over it again. Can’t have too much information when our new child is concerned.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

[phone ringing]

Oh.

Excuse me.

[laughs]

Oh, I forgot to call that investor back. Ahh, I need to-

I need to take this.

Of course.

EJ DiMera.

[ominous music]

Hmm.

[laughs]

Well, it’s obvious that Victor and Konstantine shared a lot of memories together.

Yeah.

But Granddad never mentioned him to you, did he?

No. I haven’t-

not that I recall, no. But you know your grandfather. He didn’t like to deal with the past. But it’s clear that there was a real bond between them. I mean, it went back to when they were kids. Did you know that Victor loaned Konstantine money to open his own restaurant?

[laughs] Yeah, I’m sure with a hefty interest rate, right?

No, he forgave the loan. And he wouldn’t even accept a single payment, or even free meals.

OK. That doesn’t sound like Victor.

Oh, tell me about it. But I think that shows how important Konstantine was to him. I mean, you know, after so many years of loving that man, Victor was always so unpredictable.

I think we can both agree on that.

Yeah.

But I’ll tell you what this latest revelation, Maggie. It certainly seemed out of character for him.

Oh, you mean about the fact that Alex was his son?

Yeah. That’s exactly what I mean. And honestly, I still can’t believe that he kept that a secret from all of us, for all these years.

You’re wasting your time, Xander. See, the job is mine. Get it? If my dad couldn’t talk me into giving it over to Maggie-

Your dad? Which–which dad?

Go to hell.

Oh, that was a silly question because obviously, you’re talking about your fake dad, the one that’s still around. But let’s talk about what your biological father wanted-

your biological father who did not name you CEO in his will. So don’t you think you should honor his wishes? I mean, if I were his son, that’s-

that’s what I’d do.

[suspenseful music]

Well, in answer to your question, exhibit A, my packed suitcases. I’m going from here straight to Alex’s apartment.

You’re moving in with him?

You catch on quick, huh?

And you certainly don’t waste any time, do you?

From what I remember, neither do you.

Hmm.

[clicks tongue] Victor, Victor, Victor. Leave it to you to blow up everything in your last will and testament.

[knocking]

Room service!

[dramatic music]

Who are you? You don’t work for the hotel.

Where is it? There it is!

Hey! What are you doing? Give me that!

What the hell? I’m supposed to be in this will! Victor left me nothing?

Not your favorite day, was it?

It got better as the day went on as I recall-

for both of us.

This was a lovely surprise.

Well, thank you. I was driving by. I saw your lights on. I thought, oh, I’ll just pop in and see you.

[laughs] I’m glad you did. How is everything going?

Oh, fine. Fine, except for worrying night and day about-

about Belle. Have you spoken to her?

Recently? No, I haven’t. How’s she doing?

Well, to hear Belle tell it, she’s got everything under control.

Only after her husband left the country and went into rehab.

Yeah. I’ve been trying to spend some time with her, but, you know, who wants her mother hovering all the time? I thought maybe you could check on her.

Of course, I can. I’m happy to help.

Good. And I’m sorry, if you and Sloan are in the-

where’s Sloan?

Yes, we’ll touch base again at the end of the week. Good night. Well, now that I have that all sorted, shall we take another look at this report again?

Yes. But first, I’m going to check on Holly and see if she needs any help with her homework.

Meanwhile, I’ll get started on mine.

[laughs] And let me know if you find anything new and surprising.

[laughs]

[blows kiss]

[ominous music]

[sighs] Well, Alex certainly didn’t waste any time, did he? Stepping into the role of Victor’s son.

Mm-hmm, he certainly staked out his claim at Titan.

Yeah, he also quit Basic Black without any notice whatsoever. I heard he offered you a position in the company.

Oh, he did. I turned him down, obviously. Alex and I are like oil and water. I mean, it’s somewhat surprising considering how well his father and I got along.

[gentle music] Hm.

I appreciate your concern. Actually, I don’t. Because you’re not Victor’s son. That would be me. That is why my take on what he wanted is the only one that counts.

He did not want you running this company, Alex.

Then why did he give me controlling interest?

Perhaps so you could show some character, not run his widow out.

OK. Yeah, yeah. First of all, when it comes to challenging character issues, you’re a joke. Second of all, I happen to have, A, the character to be staying in this very modest apartment while I’m allowing Maggie to run the Kiriakis mansion-

which I own–as she sees fit.

Wow, what a guy.

[laughs] What do you want? What do you–you’re here to beg for a job?

Oh, no, the last thing I want from you is a job, Alex. I’m just here because I still can’t believe this insanity. Oh, so Victor tore up his old will and what? Wrote a new one that cut the rest of us out just to give you half? You tell me, why the hell does that make any sense?

[suspenseful music]

For the record, I was interested in Alex before I met you and before I read a single word of Victor’s will.

Perhaps. But after you got a sneak peek, you were like a heat-seeking missile.

Well, I didn’t want to take any chances. And then when Alex and Brady came back, I purposely asked Brady if I could stay with him. And as expected, he turned me down. He was harsh, cruel, actually. And I let it all play out right in front of Alex.

You knew he’d take pity. Well played.

Well, it helps when you know the man is about to inherit a fortune, and he doesn’t even have a clue.

Hm. My father helped give that man a start. Without that seed money, there never would have been Titan. Victor would never have amassed his fortune. I’m the one who talked him into writing a new will-

and still, he left me out of it.

Are you done ranting? Or do I have to call security to haul you out of here?

Depends. Do you want your friends Alex and Brady to know you’ve been reading Victor’s will?

Who the hell are you, anyway?

I am Konstantine Meleounis.

You are the one who’s supposed to help find Victor’s letter.

Alex and Brady are on what you Americans might call a wild goose chase, but not for much longer.

How did you know to come here? How did you know the will was here?

I didn’t. I had a man watch the place. And when the head of the ISA showed up with a battered briefcase, I made an educated guess. I needed to just how generous my old friend decided to be.

Yeah, well, it turns out he wasn’t really very generous with anyone, was he? Except for his wife and his son.

[scoffs] A son he didn’t care enough about to even acknowledge when he was alive. And who is this young man, anyway? And where is this so-called letter that explains everything?

I have no idea.

[suspenseful music]

This must be it, right? The one on top? And it hasn’t even been opened yet. Why don’t we read it together-

shall we?

[gasps]

Victor’s long lost son is-

Xander Cook?

Mm. Never saw that coming.

Nor did I. But I do know that Victor had an affair with his brother Titus’s wife. And the product of that affair was-

Xander? This can’t be right. Xander is Victor’s son?

Apparently so.

Oh. And Victor left him half of everything? I mean, do you even understand what a piece of garbage this man is?

I understand that quite well. My father did business with him. Papa was getting older. His judgment had slipped. And Xander robbed that old man blind. And now this criminal, he’s a gazillionaire and I get nothing? Oxi!

I mean, just the irony that there’s two Alexanders in this family and this waste of space is the one who’s going to get the huge payday. Why couldn’t it have been the handsome, charming Alex?

What?

Maybe it still could be.

It is a pity that your friend Alex will never know what we have done for him.

Xander, if you want to know why Victor waited until his last will and testament to reveal that I’m his son, hire a psychic. I moved on.

Well, that’s easy to do when you’re on the receiving end of a fortune.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I have the money. I have the job. I also just found out that the man that I thought was my father my whole life isn’t really my father.

Oh, give me a break, Alex. You know your place in the family is barely changed at all. You’ve always been loved and accepted, unlike me. I mean, I’ve always been treated like the black sheep, like I’m barely even qualified to landscape the ground.

Aw, poor you.

Yeah, poor me. Do you have any idea what I’d have done to have Victor acknowledge me the way he finally acknowledged you? No, he always treated me like I was an outsider, like-

and worse, I was an embarrassment. So you’ll excuse me if I don’t feel sorry for you, Alex. As far as I’m concerned, you are one lucky bastard.

Sloan, she just left. She had to go deal with a client’s bail situation.

Oh. At this time of night?

Life of a criminal lawyer. I know she’ll be sorry she missed you.

Well, no, she won’t.

[laughs] She’s uncomfortable around me.

Maybe because she knows that you don’t like her?

No, I just don’t know her all that well.

Mom, maybe we can fix that. I know a lot of people don’t really like Sloan. But I know her better than anyone. She’s got a big heart, and she makes me happy.

That’s all I care about. So then she’s fine with me.

[laughs]

[ominous music]

[hums]

[doorbell ringing]

Harold? Harold!

[sighs] I suppose even the help are allowed a dinner break.

[dramatic music]

I can’t tell you how good it is to see you optimistic about the future. And if that’s because of Sloan, then I am grateful.

Thank you.

I’d also love to have a beautiful little grandbaby.

[laughs]

You know? And you deserve this. You deserve to have someone love you who is true and loyal. And that-

that seems to be Sloan. You also deserve to have a child.

[gentle music]

I love you.

Hello? Hello?

[suspenseful music] Looks like the Halloween pranksters showed up early this year.

[door shuts] Nicole? Uh, OK, what was that noise?

[sighs] Maggie, here’s what I don’t get. Granddad knew that it would be shocking for all of us. I mean, he knew that it would be devastating for Justin, for you, for Alex-

knowing that Alex was his long lost son. Yet he just left us all to sort it out? I don’t understand. I don’t understand why he would just let Alex’s true paternity remain a secret all these years.

I wish I had the answer for you. But you know, if God granted me one more minute with that man, that is the exact question that I would ask him-

why?

Oh, I get why you and every other shallow idiot in this town thinks that I should be eternally grateful for my good fortune. Just kind of hard to see it that way when your whole damn world’s been turned upside down.

You know, when I came over here, I thought you’d be gloating. I wasn’t expecting a pity party.

No, I’m not looking for anybody to feel sorry for me. But if you think for a single second that I would have traded Justin as my dad for Victor’s money, you don’t know a damn thing about me. You call me lucky? At least you know who you are. You know who your parents are. And I find it highly unlikely that you will ever be told that you are all wrong. And that your life was a lie.

Don’t tell me you’re having second thoughts.

No. Of course not. Doesn’t mean I don’t feel somewhat guilty about it, though.

You feel guilty? For robbing the swine of his birthright?

Hell no. Xander can live on the streets for all I care. It’s Alex.

What is there to feel guilty about Alex? We made him rich!

We also made him fatherless.

What do you mean it still could be Alex?

This letter from Xander’s mother talking about her affair with Victor and the child it produced, well, it’s sort of vague.

Vague? How?

I’m just saying that it wouldn’t be that hard to substitute “Anjelica Deveraux” at the bottom of the letter.

Anjelica is?

Alex’s mother.

Oh.

And see, I know enough about their past to know there’s nothing in this letter that would contradict it.

So Alex becomes the heir and-

Xander ends up with nothing?

He would squander all the money away, anyway.

Agreed. But why Alex Kiriakis? Why make him the wealthy man in Xander’s stead?

We have a connection going. We’ve already talked about going out. He seems real interested. And if I can make something happen fast, something between us before he learns that he’s the heir, then he won’t have to question me going after him for his inheritance.

That is quite a plan.

It would be so simple. I wouldn’t even have to tweak the will. All it says is that he leaves half of his inheritance to the son he never acknowledged-

no name. I can make this happen.

You mean, we can make this happen.

We?

I have access to equipment. I can bring you a brand new letter, one forged so well that no one will question it. We both bring something to this equation, Theresa. And when it comes to Victor’s fortune, there’s more than enough to go around. Partners?

[suspenseful music]

Alex asked me to move in with him, but getting him to pop the question, well, I don’t know how long that’s going to take. So I can’t promise you when you’re going to get your payday.

Then I’ll just have to find a way to stick around for a while.

Little bit of advice, cousin. Maybe keep the sob story about your parentage to yourself. No one likes to hear billionaires whine about their hurt feelings.

Xander. What are you doing here?

I was just leaving. Why are you here?

She’s moving in.

[laughs] That’s who you thought I was when I came here earlier? Why am I not surprised? Victor has a new rich son, and Theresa’s already on the case.

Leave.

Gladly.

Do not listen to him. He’s jealous. And wishes all this happened to him instead of me.

Hmm.

How was your walk?

It was lovely. I passed by these in the park and thought of you.

Daffodils. They’re my favorite.

I believe Victor told me that once.

I can’t believe you remembered that. I also don’t believe that they were blooming in the park in October.

[laughs] I had the feeling I would not get away with that story. You are too clever.

You bought them for me.

It was the least I can do after I spent the night. Oh, Maggie, meeting you and seeing the town Victor called home, it has been magical. However-

However what?

My time here has come to an end, Maggie.

Oh. Does it have to?

I never planned to stay more than a day or so, so.

Plans change.

[stammers] I mean, if there’s nothing urgent for you back in Greece, you’re more than welcome to stay with Victor’s family as long as you like.

A night was one thing. Asking to stay longer would be such an imposition.

You didn’t ask. I offered. Having you here, it would be a pleasure.

Oh. Oh, hi.

Hey, you’re back quicker than I thought.

Well, sometimes these things just work out.

[laughs]

Hello, Marlena. Nice to see you.

Hello, Sloan. Nice to see you, too.

I was just walking my mom out.

Yeah. But you know what? We were just actually talking about you before you came in. Eric was telling me about all the wonderful things coming up in your life.

Glad to hear it.

But we’ll have to get together. You know, why don’t-

why don’t you both come to supper?

Yeah, I would like that.

Great.

Good. Good. I’ll–I’ll call you with some dates, and we’ll-

we’ll get it set up.

OK.

OK.

Great.

[door shuts]

[suspenseful music]

Oh, did you finish your homework?

Oh, I was interrupted. And now I have to take another work call. So I’ll get to my homework a little later. In the meantime, I’m going to put this precious document with very important information about our soon-to-be-born little one into the safe so we don’t lose it again.

[laughs]

And no one will have access to it but Mommy and Daddy.

Ooh. Excellent plan, Daddy.

Mm-hmm.

[laughs]

[suspenseful music]

[shredder whirring]

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Theresa, hey.

Hey yourself.

Did we have plans that slipped my mind, or…

[giggles] Oh, as if you would forget that you had plans with me.

Mm, that’s a very good point.

[clears throat]

What’s in the bag?

Gosh, I thought you’d never ask. For you. Something you are desperately in need of.

[playful jazz music]

God, this is such a nightmare, Justin.

Sarah, you need to stay calm.

Calm? How can I stay calm? I am a sleep-deprived new mom, and just when I thought things were starting to thaw between Xander and me, I find out he is suing for full custody of my child. I know. I know that she is also his child, but… we have to stop him, Justin. I mean, please tell me that we can stop him.

[tense music]

Why are you here? We don’t have an appointment.

So what?

So you can’t just show up to my apartment anytime you feel like it.

You took my case, and you took my money, and you told me you’d be available to me whenever I needed. So give it to me straight, Counselor. Do I have a chance of winning full custody of my daughter or not?

[dramatic music]

Nicole.

Oh. Hi.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I’m here to visit a friend, a former parishioner. But the nurse is in the room with him right now. You?

Waiting for a prescription.

Yeah. Right.

Well, since we’re both waiting, do you want to do it together?

Yeah. Sure, why not? Please.

Ooh. [both chuckle]

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

It was very kind of you to give me a tour of Salem.

Oh, believe me, it was no trouble. Once you’ve seen the dock and the Brady Pub and the Horton Town Square, you’ve pretty much hit the high spots.

[chuckles]

Salem is a–it’s a typical American town.

Victor Kiriakis didn’t find it typical. He traveled the globe, and yet he settled here, where he found true love… with you, Maggie. And that alone makes this place very special indeed.

[dramatic music]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Sarah so furious.

Well, what did you expect? I mean, you’re trying to take the woman’s baby from her.

Victoria is my baby t– hey, whose side are you on?

I’m on yours– as long as your checks don’t bounce. Look, they don’t call it a custody battle for no reason, OK? And if you’re gonna see this through, you’re just gonna have to ignore the fact that Sarah’s furious. Look, did she care about your feelings whenever she told you Rex Brady was Victoria’s father?

No. Thanks for the reminder.

Mm-hmm. I’m also gonna remind you of your goal, which is to have full custody of Victoria. And my goal is to make sure that happens.

[sighs]

Well, keep in mind that you have a lot going in your favor. You have an excellent reputation as a doctor. You grew up here in Salem and come from a good family. Xander is an outsider with a criminal record, and I’ll be sure to let the judge know all about his past.

Is that it, then? We’ll win?

Well, let me finish. We need to anticipate what Xander and Sloan may use against you.

Like what?

Well, for starters, this isn’t the first time that you’ve lied about a child’s paternity.

So Tate’s gonna be working here at the pub?

Yeah, yeah, he’s gonna be working back in the kitchen, washing dishes until he pays for the damages he caused at his– his old boarding school.

Wow. Kid sounds like a real piece of work.

Takes after his mother, unfortunately. Although I will say this: I think maybe he inherited some of her good qualities.

And what are those?

Oh, come on. Theresa is definitely smart as a whip, and she’s got a whole lot of drive and energy.

That’s true. You know, Kayla tells me she’ll be directing all that drive and energy here in Salem from now on. She’s staying here indefinitely.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, she wanted to move in here, but I had just rented out the last available room to Harris Michaels.

Well, that’s too bad. Kayla was hoping you could keep an eye on her.

I don’t think I’d worry about Theresa. Yeah, she’s got a knack for getting into trouble, but… she’s also got a gift for landing on her feet.

[sighs]

You bought me…dishes?

Mm-hmm.

[chuckles]

Well, you said at dinner the other night that you were using paper plates, and that is just– [tsks] That’s not civilized, is it? And now that you are CEO of Titan, you’re not gonna have time to shop for housewares, so I thought I’d assist.

[laughs] That’s very thoughtful of you, Theresa. Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

I suppose I have been using this place like a bro pad.

Mm, mm-hmm. And you are CEO. You have an image to maintain.

Hmm. I suppose I do. Why don’t we eat some leftovers, we can talk about my new image, and we can christen these new plates?

Oh. I’d love to christen your plates.

Huh.

[dramatic music]

So how are things going with the adoption process?

It’s going well, thanks to Melinda Trask.

What?

Yeah, she’s helping us out. Sloan and Melinda, well, have gotten kind of friendly over the last couple of months.

Yeah, well, they both have a lot in common. Because they’re both driven and tend to be ferocious. I guess those are good qualities in a lawyer, right?

Yeah. I suppose. Anyway, well, you know Melinda, she’s starting her own private practice, and she said that she has a lot of time to devote to our case.

That’s great. That’s great. Really, I’m happy for you… and for Sloan. And hopefully things work out and you’ll get to be the father that you always wanted to be.

So to win custody of your child, you’re gonna have to be as underhanded and unscrupulous as Sarah, who was prepared, before the truth was discovered by your ex-fiancée, to let another man be the father to your child.

Right. So…what’s our plan?

Oh, it’s simple, really. We just have to illustrate to the Salem family courts that Dr. Sarah Horton is a pathological liar and mentally unstable.

Right, but I mean, that last part wasn’t really her fault.

Oh, come on, Xander. Please, I’ve done my research. The woman was running around town for months thinking that she was a dead DiMera heiress. And before that, she was a little girl. I mean, if that’s not mentally unstable–

Yeah, I see how… it could look that way, but she only behaved like that because she was drugged, so…

You know what? I’m the lawyer here, OK? I need you to listen to me. You cannot go around making excuses for Sarah’s behavior now or in the past or ever, you understand? If you want full custody of your daughter, then we are going to have to demonstrate unequivocally and emphatically that Sarah Horton is an unfit mother to her.

How can the court hold it against me for lying about the paternity of my first child? Mackenzie was switched at birth with Rachel Black.

Yes, technically you weren’t lying to Eric when you told him that he wasn’t the father. But when you led him to believe that Xander was the father, you, in fact, were deceiving him.

But that’s because Eric was with Nicole, and he didn’t want to damage their relationship.

Well, whatever the motivation, the court could view that as depriving the child’s father of his paternal rights.

Look, I know that I made a mistake with Victoria– choosing to marry Rex and try to pass her off as his. But I thought that I was protecting her. And I’ve seen the error of my ways. I know that I was wrong. Rex and I are getting a divorce. Doesn’t that show contrition?

Yes, yes, it does. But I’m afraid Sloan may try and spin it as “too little, too late.”

Damn it. Of course she will.

And, Sarah, there’s something else– your…mental health issues.

I have no mental health issues. And I only ever did in the past because I was drugged.

I know that, but I wouldn’t put it past Sloan to try and use it against you.

Well, she’s not gonna succeed, because in spite of how angry Xander is and in spite of all the stupid, reckless things he has done in the past, he does have a conscience– as far as I’m concerned, anyway. He knows the hell that Kristen and Gwen put me through. He–he knows how much I suffered because of them, and it broke his heart. So that is why I know that he will not let Sloan Petersen use that against me. I’m sure of it.

So did Trask mention how long the adoption process would take?

Well, I guess there’s really no way to know, unfortunately. But, you know, we’re not going through an agency, so we’re gonna start interviewing birth parents.

Oh. Well, how do you do that?

Well, verbal networking. You know I just learned, in some states, you can actually advertise in newspapers?

That sounds iffy to me.

Well, once we find a prospective birth parent, it’s a lot more straightforward from there.

Oh. If I may butt in, but… you could use a surrogate, couldn’t you? And then that way, the baby would be your biological child.

You know, I will admit that when I thought about having a child of my own that it would have… my mother’s eyes. or even my Grandpa Shawn’s smile.

[laughs]

I just realized that having a child of mine and passing on their genes is not as important as passing on my love. [dramatic music]

I get it. I do. But still, I would have loved to have met that kid with your mother’s eyes and Grandpa Shawn’s smile. [laughs]

Yeah. Well, I will admit, when I thought about having a child of my own, a son or a daughter, they would resemble the Bradys in some sort of way. But then I accepted that having a child was not in my cards.

The only reason Sarah took leave of her senses was because she was drugged.

Mm-hmm. And you can be absolutely sure that those drugs aren’t still in her system?

Well, the hospital seems sure. I mean, they hired her back.

Well, she’s Dr. Tom Horton’s granddaughter, right? And the Hortons are still in charge of the hospital, are they not?

[sighs] Look, I don’t– I don’t like this. In fact, I hate it– slandering Sarah for something that was in no way her fault. Besides, Sarah would never do anything to hurt our daughter.

No, she wouldn’t intentionally. But think about it. I mean, Sarah is postpartum right now. I mean… if her hormones reactivate the drug, what if she starts thinking she’s Renee DuMonde again or Joan of Arc? What happens to that sweet little baby?

Nothing happens. Sarah’s totally rational. She has been for some time.

Are you sure about that? She married Rex Brady and divorced him two days later. Does that sound rational to you?

A psychiatrist and a neurologist both said that she was fine.

You are starting to sound more like Sarah’s defense attorney than a father that wants full custody of his child. Look, I am prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure that Victoria is in your care. But you have to decide if you have the stomach for it.

I understand why you want to believe there are lines that Xander would never cross, but custody battles tend to bring out the worst in people, even people who once loved each other very much.

This has all been set in motion because I didn’t tell Xander I was pregnant.

Sarah, he had just kidnapped two women, one of whom was my wife. And everybody thought Susan Banks died as a result. You did what you thought was right in order to protect your child. And it’s my job to convince the judge of that.

[sniffles] [sighs] God, I have to get home to check on Victoria.

OK. I’ll see you back there.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. I’m gonna have to check with Henderson, or we’re not gonna have any dinner.

Tell Henderson to give the cook the night off. I will be making dinner tonight.

But you’re our guest.

Please. Victor used to come into my restaurant and say, make me dinner, Konstantin. You know what I like, huh? I would like to make the exact same dinner for you tonight. It would be my pleasure.

Are you sure?

Are you hungry? I hope so, because you will have a Mediterranean feast you will never forget.

Mmm. Mm-mm. This proves it.

Proves what?

That even as leftovers, Julie’s Place is a feast fit for a king– or queen–provided it’s on the proper plate.

Mm-hmm. Speaking of royalty, how are you adjusting, you know, to being son of the great late Victor Kiriakis?

[chuckles] It’s been surreal, actually, kind of hard to process. Mainly because my dad, Justin, is such a great guy. And it was really sad for the both of us that he isn’t really my father, even though he is in all the ways that matter.

Of course he is.

It’s just completely baffling to me and not to mention extremely frustrating that Victor isn’t around to do some explaining.

That is very frustrating…

You know? It is frustrating.

To say the least.

Anyway, enough about me. What’s going on in your world?

Well… I’m very happy to be here with you having dinner on these lovely plates.

Mm.

And I’m loving Salem. My son’s here now, so… I guess it’s home.

Hmm.

I just– I just wish I was just a bit calm about my living situation, you know? I don’t know where I’m gonna live. Got any ideas? [quirky music]

Hmm.

So are you not happy at the Salem Inn? I mean, I know it’s basically a hotel, but you got decent monthly rates, from what I’ve heard.

Yeah, they just get kind of annoyed if you can’t pay those rates, so…

Mm. I thought you were some big hotshot fashion designer.

Hotshot? Well, business isn’t exactly booming, you know, with the supply chain thing and all that. And the money that I had saved, I put into an investment bank, and that went under. So…[chuckles] I’m what you call strapped.

Oh, my God, Theresa, I’m sorry to hear that.

Yeah, well, you know, I wish I could live with John and Marlena and Tate, but I don’t think that Brady would like that too much. And then I did ask Uncle Roman if I could just stay in one of those cute little rooms above the pub, but then there’s this guy Harris that just took up the last vacancy, so–

Oh, that’s too bad.

And then I asked Kayla if maybe I could stay with her– but then, you know, Steve, he’s not really that fond of me, so…

Yeah. Forget them. Forget all of them. [dramatic music] Move in here with me.

Hey, Mom.

Oh, Sarah. Honey, is something wrong?

Yeah. Something is very wrong. I just found out that Xander is suing for full custody of Victoria.

He what? I can’t believe it.

What are you doing?

Oh, I’m gonna call and talk some sense into that young man.

No, Mom, please. Please don’t do that. He might try to use it in court.

How?

I don’t know, but Justin said that he could use anything and everything to try to prove that I am conniving and crazy and just basically an unfit mother. He’s determined to take Victoria away from me.

Oh, honey, I’m so sorry.

Well, you told me not to lie to him, and I didn’t listen. You were right. I made a very stupid choice, and… God, I’ve made such a mess of things.

Oh, don’t say that. Oh, Sarah, you did what you thought was right at the time. Now, Justin, he is a wonderful lawyer, and he cares very deeply about you. He’s gonna see to it that you don’t lose that baby.

I am sorry. I did not mean to interrupt.

Oh, no, it’s all right. Konstantin, this is my daughter Sarah Horton.

[chuckles]

I am Konstantin Meleounis.

It’s nice to meet you.

The pleasure is mine. You are just as beautiful as your mother.

Oh, wow. Oh, thank you. I’m flattered. [laughter]

And did she tell you I’m making dinner tonight?

No. No, she didn’t. I will get out of your hair.

Oh, don’t be ridiculous. You will eat with us. I made enough for the Greek army. [laughs] And Greeks like to eat. Please.

Actually, that sounds lovely. I’m just gonna–I’m gonna go check on my daughter, and I will be right down.

Excellent! The more, the merrier. [laughter]

I mean it, Xander. I want to know tonight, OK? You’re either all in, or you’re not. If you’re gonna tie my hands, I’m just gonna give you your retainer back.

[knock at door]

Oh, finally, we were starting to get worried.

We?

Oh. Not Xander, he’s a client. But Eric and I.

OK, well, my flight was delayed, so I came here straight from the airport.

I’m gonna need to speak with Melinda alone. Think about what I asked you, and get back to me. But don’t take too long.

Yeah. I’ll think about it.

What’s his problem?

Never mind him.

Wait. What are you doing?

I’m gonna call Eric, because we’re gonna want to hear the news together.

Don’t call him yet.

Why not?

I need to talk to you without him being present.

What’s going on?

Well, we’ve run into a little bit of a snag.

What kind of snag?

Well, put simply, securing a private adoption for you and Eric could prove problematic.

What? Why?

Well, remember that messy feud you were in with Paulina Price and her daughter?

That wasn’t messy.

Mm.

I thought that they should pay for their part in the wrongful death of my mother, and I sought legal channels to see that through.

You also covered up for your brother when he used illegal tactics against them. You defended them in court.

He had the right to a defense.

The adoption lawyers that I consulted with are worried by the fact that in your defense of him and in your own actions, you seem to be condoning them. And–

You know, this is just a full–

Let–let me finish, all right? They are concerned about what role a man like Colin will play in your child’s life.

Colin is in prison. Colin’s not gonna be in my child’s life. Melinda, listen to me, please. You have to help us get this baby. I mean, Eric is desperate to be a father. I have to be the one that makes that happen for him.

Here’s that prescription you were waiting for. Sorry for the delay.

That’s OK. Thank you so much. Oh, excuse me. Maybe you can help me with this. My fiancé and I had a genetic analysis done on the baby I’m carrying, and I managed to lose the hard copy. Is it possible to get another one?

Absolutely. You and your fiancé are entitled to anything in your records. Should I make a hard copy for you too, sir?

Me? Oh. No, no, no. We’re just friends. I’m not the father of this baby.

Huh. Yeah. Eric is all excited about him and Sloan adopting a baby, so… But–

You still have a bad feeling about it?

Well, yeah, but what the hell can I do? I mean, he seems to have convinced himself that she is the one.

Ah. I need a glass of wine. No, actually, make that a vodka on the rocks.

All right, coming right up.

Oh!

What’s going on, baby? Bad day at the hospital?

Well, it didn’t start out that way, until the day took a turn and I was handcuffed to a hospital bed.

[groans]

Here you go.

Ah, thank you! Sláinte.

Roman, Kayla just told me that son of a bitch Von Leuschner handcuffed her to a hospital bed.

Wait, wait. Where are you going?

Where do you think I’m going? I’m gonna give that man a beatdown!

No, no, no, I don’t– I don’t want you to do that.

Why not? Why not? First he keeps Kate prisoner on a damn boat. Then he handcuffs my sister to a hospital bed.

No, I’m fine, really. I’m fine. I think Dimitri didn’t want to hurt me. He just wanted to get away. And then Rafe and Jada showed up right as he and Leo Stark were getting away.

What, Leo? That little con man was involved in this too?

Yeah, just–just let the police handle this, please? I’m fine.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I’m getting better all the time.

[sighs]

Look, why don’t you just stay here and have a drink with me, OK? In fact, why don’t you get him anything he wants? It’s on me. In fact, get yourself something too, OK?

She’s handcuffed for a couple minutes, and now she sounds like Ma Barker.

No, I just–I just want to enjoy this drink. And then I want to have dinner, and then I just– I just want to forget about this day.

Well, maybe you can forget about it, Sweetness, but I’m gonna make Dimitri Von Leuschner regret ever laying a hand on you. [dramatic music]

No, no, no, no, no. Alex, I couldn’t possibly. I hope you didn’t think that I was… hinting at staying here.

No, no, I was not at all. And to be honest with you, I’m not too crazy about living alone. I think I’d like having you as a roomie.

Really?

Yeah.

Why is that?

Why is that? Well, first of all, you make pretty decent company. And you have great taste in plates.

That I do.

Hmm. Theresa, look, I know what happened between us in Greece, though impressive, was also very impulsive and probably a bad idea. But maybe we can just take a step back, slow it down a little bit, get to know each other a little better. What do you think?

I think that if you’re serious about this offer, I would be a fool…

Ah!

To say no.

Well, Theresa Donovan, you are a woman of many things, but foolish is not one of them.

No.

Mm-mm.

Say hello to your new roommate.

Oh. Hello, roomie.

[laughs] All right. Well, I’m gonna go to the inn before they charge me for another night.

Yeah, go for it.

You save some closet space, now, for me, mister.

Got an empty closet for you in the second bedroom.

Oh. All right.

Mm.

See you later, roomie.

Oh, I’ll see you. [groans]

What a lovely dinner, Konstantin. And this baklava is so delicious.

I’ll let you in on something. There was phyllo dough in the freezer.

Always. Victor made sure of it. He loved baklava. Which I haven’t had it since– Since he left for Greece. Thank you very much for this.

As I said, it was my pleasure. Now, if you ladies will excuse me, I think I will take a walk around this very interesting city, try to burn off some of these calories.

Would you like for me to go with you?

Oh, I’ll be fine. Finish your dessert and enjoy your charming daughter. I won’t be long.

Enjoy your walk. [sighs]

What a lovely man.

Yes, he is, isn’t he?

I’ll go print out that DNA report and be right back.

OK. [chuckles]

Well, that was kind of–

Awkward?

Yeah, something like that. [both chuckle]

Yeah. And what she didn’t know is that at one time, we actually thought you could be the father.

Yeah.

Well, anyway, that’s– that’s over now. And you and Sloan are gonna have a baby of your own, so…

Right. I mean, yeah, hopefully. You know what she forgot to tell me is that if my friend, if I could go visit him. You know, I’m gonna go check in on him, so… It was–it was good to see you, so take care of yourself.

You too. [sighs]

Will you please calm down?

You don’t get it. It’s bad enough that I lost Eric’s baby and that I have fixed it that he doesn’t know that Nicole’s baby is his. God, if I’m the reason that we can’t adopt–

Hey, listen to me, OK? What Eric doesn’t know won’t hurt him. And you doctored those DNA results so good that Nicole believes that she’s carrying EJ’s baby, right? There’s nothing to worry about there.

Yeah, what if my nutty brother just messes this up?

He won’t. And what I just told you is the opinion of one lawyer. Look, I will do whatever it takes. I will get you and Eric a baby.

You sure?

You can count on it.

You’re such a good friend, Melinda.

[chuckles] I’m not being a good friend. I’m–I’m–I’m– This case will be my first success in private practice, right?

Mm-hmm.

I have to go. I’m so exhausted.

Keep me posted.

I will. I will.

Mm. Oh.

Mm.

You were gone a long time.

I’m sorry about that.

Mm-hmm.

I didn’t get in to see my friend until, what, about an hour and a half ago. And did I miss Melinda?

Yeah, she just left.

What? Why didn’t you call me when she showed up?

She just got off the plane. She said she was tired. She couldn’t wait for you.

OK. Well, what’d she tell you? Any update with the adoption?

Yeah, she said that everything was looking good. It’s all smooth sailing. And before you know it, you’re gonna be a daddy.

Mm. Mm.

Oh! [dramatic music]

Oh. Wow, that took a while.

I wanted to make sure I had the entire report. And I do. Here you go.

Well, If it isn’t my favorite cousin, Justin.

Xander, keep on walking.

What, without thanking you for telling me that Sarah’s baby was mine and not Rex’s? Oh, wait, I can’t do that because you kept your bloody mouth shut, didn’t you?

Xander, Bonnie and I both thought it was Sarah’s place to tell you, and we actually tried to convince her to do that. So did Maggie.

Well, seems like Sarah doesn’t put a ton of stock in advice from any of you.

And she regrets that.

Oh, she does, does she?

Yeah. She’s actually pretty much a wreck about what she did to you.

She’s a wreck? I’m the one she dumped. I’m the one that she divorced and lied to about my baby for months. Do you have any idea how that feels?

Yeah. I do. Alex’s mother lied to me about being his father when she knew all along it was actually Victor. At least you found out the truth while Victoria is still a newborn. Alex is an adult. You have Victoria’s whole life to do right by her.

Yeah, well, we both know what you mean by “do right.” You want me to settle for every other weekend unless Sarah decides I’ve been a bad boy, and then I won’t even get that.

Xander, you and Sarah both need to stuff your anger and put Victoria’s interest first. Think about that.

[scoffs]

[phone beeps]

Hey, Sloan? Yeah. I thought about what you said to me. And I want you to do whatever you have to. I don’t care. Just as long as I bring my little girl home with me.

It does my heart good to see you enjoying yourself.

Mm. I kind of like having an old friend of Victor’s around. Makes me feel closer to him.

I can understand that.

Mm-hmm. It’s kind of a miracle, though, isn’t it, that Konstantin just showed up when he did?

Well, anybody that puts a smile back on your face is OK with me.

Oh, well, he certainly has done that. I’d be smiling a lot more often if you weren’t so stressed.

I’ll be fine. It’ll all work out.

Of course it will. But for now, how about you getting some rest while our little angel is sleeping?

Yeah, I think I will do that.

OK.

Night, Mama. Love you.

Love you. [sighs]

Good night, sweetheart.

[sighs] Extra blankets, extra pillows, and Theresa Donovan in the second bedroom. I really hope this isn’t a bad idea. Huh.

[knock at door]

Bellman already?

[tense music]

[gasps]

Surprise.

Damn it, Konstantin. I told you to stay put in Greece until you heard from me. What the hell are you doing here?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Okay, so let’s hear your brilliant idea. How are we going to get Kristen DiMera’s shares and throw EJ on his oh so British butt? Okay, well, to state the obvious, Kristen’s not going to willingly sign those shares over to us, right? Right. So how are we going to make that happen? Through her Achilles heel, of course.

And what would that be? Oh, yes, Rachel, of course. The apple of her eye.

Well, I don’t know about you, honey, but I had the best time ever shopping with my little girl. I had the best time, too. Well, maybe we should make it a weekly occurrence. What do you think? Can’t we do it every day? Oh, I wish we could, but, uh, guess what, you have school and piano lessons and swimming lessons.

So, you’re finally back, you little brat. Hey, Holly, is there a problem? Actually, yeah. Someone needs to set her straight, or I’m going to break her face.

Great. A welcoming committee. Yeah, have a seat, bud. Listen, I’ve got some great news for you. Your great uncle Roman here, he has generously decided to give you a job here. It’s going to be a great way for you to start paying back that sizable debt of yours. Welcome to the family business, sir, Tate. You are now the aftermath…

Maintenance manager. Huh? Oh, that’s, that’s, uh, commonly referred to as, uh, the dishwasher. And, uh, you’ll need some good gloves because I hear it’s, it’s pretty tough on the hands. Oh, yeah.

For God’s sake, what is taking her so long? Rafe, she’s like five minutes late. I know, I know, it’s just security in this place is a joke. I’m not going to be happy until Von Leutschner is out of here and in a cell. Uh, sorry to keep you waiting. What’s up? Yes, we, uh, are ready to take Von Leutner back to the city jail, but we need you to sign the release form.

Uh, I’m sorry, I, I can’t do that.

So, are you gonna do it? Are you gonna bust us out of here? Me? Why is it all on me? Well, uh, for one, because you are not handcuffed to a bed and because you literally just said so! Oh, I like this. I like this a lot. You get yourself arrested for attempted murder, I come to say goodbye to the love of my life, and you snap at me like I’m the incompetent help!

And for the record, I didn’t say I would get us out of here. I posed a rhetorical question. How do we get you out of here? Okay, I’m sorry. I misheard you. And another thing, what do you think I am, an escape artist? I run a gossip column. How would I know about sneaking you out of a hospital? Because you are clever, and you are resourceful, and Leo, you are damn right brilliant.

It is up to you to make sure that we have a happy ending.

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

No, we’ve already spoken to Von Leutschner’s doctor who said that the creep is ready to be transferred. That may very well be, but we have a strict protocol that we follow here. And Dr. Watkins is already left for the day. And the doctor who actually did the examination is the only person who is authorized to sign that kind of letter.

Kayla, you know the things that this guy has done. We can’t take a chance on him getting away again. Well, I suppose I could look on the roster for a different doctor, but What about you? I am swamped. Kayla, please. The place is not secure and, and this guy needs to be behind bars. Stat.

You don’t think I would do anything for us to sail off into the sunset together? Wake up every morning in each other’s arms, picking out china. Okay, that’s great, but I really need you to focus right now, sweetie. You are my only hope, you are my only way out of here. Without you, they are going to toss me in a cell and throw away the key.

Leo, you are my savior. I know, I know, I know! And now is the moment. I must ford every stream. Go where the brave dare not go. And so I ask myself. What would Lucy and Ethel do?

Kate, to be serious. I do want to say that I am glad you’re on board here. With us at the family pub. As a matter of fact, I’m gonna go call your grandma Kimberly and uh, tell her the good news. Thanks, Ro. Good news. Is he kidding? Tate, you need to give it a chance, okay? But it doesn’t make any sense. Dad, I mean, do the math.

I’ll be in my 30s by the time this job is done paying the damages to that stupid school. It’s not just about the money. It’s about you. Here we go. Yeah, here we go. Here we go. Okay, you pulled the fire alarm. You caused the damage. Did you really think that your father was just going to let you skate on this?

Washing dishes? Dad, it’s embarrassing. It’s not embarrassing. It’s a job. I understand that boarding school may not have been the perfect choice for you, okay? And maybe your parents could have listened a little better, alright? But you gotta find a way to take a different path, maybe start over, okay? I’m really loving the father son moment here, Dad.

Excuse me? Especially after two years of only seeing you at sports weekends. But hey, now I’ve got my own personal Atticus Finch. You need to watch the way you talk to me right now. Do you think I don’t know what’s going on? You hear? Why all of a sudden I am the center of your world? It’s because you don’t have Rachel anymore.

So you’re making do with me?

Holly, it is not a good idea to make threats to a DiMera in the DiMera mansion. Okay, cool. So she gets to get away with being an annoying brat who takes what isn’t hers? Darling, why don’t you tell me what the problem is, and we will see if we can resolve it. She used all of my shampoo. I did not! You did too!

It was full this morning and now it’s down to like an ounce. Are you serious? This is about shampoo? I had to buy it. It’s Taylor Swift’s brand and it’s super expensive. Now it’s practically gone. Yours are way that the boys won’t like you if your hair isn’t perfect, but they won’t like you anyway. Okay, Rachel, Rachel, that is enough.

God, this fight is over. But she started it. You know what? I always wanted a little sister, but after living in the same house as you, I’m now praying my mom’s baby to be a boy.

Okay, tell me more. What does that look like? How do we get Rachel to force Kristen’s hand? I’m not quite sure, but we do know that her little Rachel is the one thing that Kristen values more than anything else on this planet, more than money and power. So whatever we do, it’s got to make Kristen feel cornered.

Desperate. I can only think of one way to accomplish that. What would that be? Stefan, we have to kidnap that little girl.

Kidnapping. Right. Well, that would certainly get Kristen’s attention. It’s the only idea I have, Stefan. I’m not saying it’s not going to work. I’m just saying, isn’t it a little overdone? Didn’t Brady and Eric try the exact same thing when they were trying to get their hands on that damn orchid and it didn’t go too well?

Are you nixing my idea because it’s unoriginal? No, I’m… Not to mention, there are risks involved, consequences. Such as? Such as you and I in jail cells for the next 10 to 20 years. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Then there are the moral implications. Rachel is a little girl and I can personally attest to the fact that kidnapping can be traumatic for the victim.

Well, actually. Rachel is a DiMera, okay, and in this family kidnapping is like a rite of passage. It’s like a quinceañera. Okay, Cavi, I, I think it’s over, Q. But there is a germ of an idea there. We have established that Kristen’s one vulnerability is her daughter, right? And the fear of losing her again.

Exactly right. So what was the name of that judge who awarded Kristen custody? Maybe she can use an influx of cash. Wait, you want to bribe her? I want to help her realize her dreams, Gabby. Just like I want us. To realize ours.

Rachel, you need to remember that Holly is a guest in our home. Until Nicole blows it with EJ. Hey! And Holly, you need to remember that Rachel is still a little girl. And if you both don’t stop bickering, I am gonna knock your heads together. Just kidding. Trust me, she never kids. Rachel. Ever. Rachel! All right, you know, why don’t you go into the kitchen and ask Cook for those delicious oatmeal cookies, hmm?

Go on. Hmm? And then you need to get straight to your math homework. Okay, okay, I’m going. Ah.

Polly, I will replace your shampoo. And wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to ask your mom for it, that you could buy it with your own money? And where does that money come from? From me. For services rendered. You see, I want you and Rachel to be on better terms. You want to pay me to get along with your kid?

Not exactly.

Look, son, I, um, I could’ve, I I should’ve seen more of you when you were in California. I I know that. I’m, I’m sorry. That’s, that, that is on me and I, yes, I miss Rachel like crazy, but I’m definitely not. Pivoting to you because I lost custody of her. Yeah, maybe not on a conscious level. Hey, don’t, don’t, don’t try to shrink your dad.

I’m trying to play catch up here with you and…

God, I love you. I… I love you. And it’s because I love you that I’m trying to instill some self respect in you to take responsibility for your own actions. That’s why I want you to have this job here. Right. I get that. Look, I know I messed up, and I’m really sorry about all that, but I’m telling you, making me work here is a waste.

Dad, I’m gonna be terrible at washing dishes, and I’m gonna be miserable the entire time. Is that what you want? No, you, no, what, God, what I want is for you to take responsibility for your actions. Okay. Okay? Okay. That makes sense. But um, what if I did something for you? Something really important that could, uh, change your life.

For the better. Whoa. Like what? You miss Rachel like crazy? Because you’re not allowed to see her, right? So… What if I helped you with that? Go on. Maybe the judge said that you can’t see her, but she never said that I couldn’t. So I could, uh, you know, talk you up a little bit. Tell her how much you miss her.

Hey, maybe even get her to admit that she misses you too. Good idea. Huh?

Wow. I’m just, I’m gonna ask you a question that I’ve asked your mother. Numerous times. What’s in it for you?

Okay, I have an idea. Let’s just get Dimitri and take him out of here. We’ll deal with the hospital bureaucracy another time. I mean, what are they going to do? Arrest us? I just, yeah, I like the way you think. Yes. Okay, alright, I found von Leuschner’s chart. Everything seems to be in order, and Dr. Watkins notations are here.

Great, so can we take him now? No, I still need to examine him. But I’ll make it quick. Listen, after what happened to Kate, I want him out of here as fast as you guys do.

Hey, I want to help, I just don’t know Wait a minute. This is a hospital. There must be lubricant around here somewhere. Is that really all he can think about? For your hand and wrist so you can pull out of the handcuff. Darling, there are 27 bones in the human hand. You’re going to break every last one of them if you try that.

What do you need that hand for? You have me. Keep thinking.

What if I call in a bomb threat? They’ll evacuate the building and while they’re out front waiting for the all clear, I’ll roll you and the bed out the back. If you call in a bomb threat, they’re going to evacuate all the patients first. I am one of those patients, sweetie. Keep thinking. How about I call David Copperfield?

You want to call a fictitious character? He’s a magician. He made the Statue of Liberty disappear. Maybe he can make you disappear too. Darling, I’m afraid that your ideas are getting worse and not better. And oh look, we’re running out of time. Okay, okay. What if I pick the lock? You know how to do that? No, but I can try.

We’re just gonna need like a bobby pin or something.

A paperclip! It’s gonna have to do.

Dr. Johnson! Lovely to see you. You do something different with your hair, it’s most becoming. I’m gonna have to ask you to leave, please. Why? I need to examine the patient before the police come and take him to the jail. Can I just have a few minutes to say goodbye? No. Pretty face. Heart of stone. Ugh. Okay.

Let’s see what we have. Hey! Surprise.

You think I need an ulterior motive to help my dad? . T Your mother practically invented the concept of ulterior motives, and I think you just ripped a page out of her playbook. Okay, fine. Yeah. I have an ulterior motive. Yeah. You’re not getting out of this job. Not that, no. I, uh, I need a reason to go to the DiMera place and Rachel’s it.

Holly Jonas sent me a text saying that I am dead to her. Ugh. What’d you do? I, uh, accidentally told her mom something Holly didn’t want her to know. I see. And you need an excuse to… Go over there and grovel. Something like that, yeah. So, I’ll help you with Rachel if you help me with Holly. What do you say?

Hmm.

I seem to remember your mother banging on about you being on the honor roll. What kind of grade did you get in math? An A. There was a Mickey Mouse class. Yes, but you still got an A. Which means you are more than qualified to help Rachel. Wait, so you want me to tutor her? Like I said, I will make it worth your while.

And then you can buy all the shampoo you want. I’m gonna be able to afford anything I want after my mom marries your rich brother, so thanks, but I don’t need your money.

But, maybe, maybe what? Maybe I’d do it if you could help me score some points with, well, there’s this boy and the thing is, You like him. No, I love him.

A little while ago you said kidnapping was too risky because it’s illegal. So is bribing a judge, and you know who’d know? The judge. Okay, if you say so. What are you, what are you doing? I noticed something about you. And that is you do your best thinking when you are turned on. Oh yeah, clever observation.

So, we’ve established that bribery won’t work, so maybe you can help me tweak it. this in a way that we can dangle custody over Kristen’s head with minimal risk. Hmm. Lower. Minimal risk. I got it. Hold on. No, we don’t need the judge to pull this off. We only need the person most affected by Rachel’s custody order.

Brady.

Why didn’t we think about this before? Brady would do anything to get Rachel back, and Kristen knows that. And she also knows that if Brady had something on her, he would be back in that courtroom so fast that her head would spin. Right, so we need something that’s gonna make Kristen look like a bad parent.

Negligent. Cruel. Reckless. So we manufacture some kind of proof. Show it to Kristen and then threaten to take it to Brady. Unless she signs the shares over to us. You, my love, are a genius. Guess what we cannot celebrate just yet. What do you mean? The plan’s good, but it’s not complete. Yes, Kristen, Kristen’s got a lot of faults, but she’s actually a good mother, okay?

So we have nothing on her. True, but I know you, and I know that you will come up with something.

Oh. Ah. You want to use my daughter to get what you want with some boy? I really don’t think that’s a good idea. What? You think it’s, like, unethical? You really don’t want to get on my nerves. Sorry. It’s just, you have something of a reputation for, well, arranging things. I could really use the help, and I’d make your kid a math whiz.

Hmm. Well, before I, uh, commit to anything, why don’t you tell me this boy’s name? It’s your nephew, Johnny. Johnny. Okay, Johnny is not a boy. And he’s about to become your step brother. Well, my mom and his dad aren’t married yet. Besides, didn’t you marry your own brother? Alright, Tony and I aren’t blood related.

And neither are Johnny and I. Aren’t you a little young for him? Well, we totally get along. He even told me living here has been more bearable since I moved in. Oh. That’s not exactly comparing you to a summer stay. It sounds like this love affair is pretty one sided. So far. But I know he’d be interested if he thought about it.

He’s just… He’s distracted right now, so he sees right through me. Oh, and this distraction is… His ex wife, Chanel. They’re just starting to get back together, so I could use the help before it gets too far along. Well, I don’t think that I have much influence on Johnny. And you really don’t think you can make this happen yourself?

Well, Chanel isn’t my only problem. My mom almost found out about how I feel thanks to this jerk, Tate Black. But tell me how you really feel.

Kimberly was really happy that Tate’s gonna be working here. And, uh, she thinks you’re doing the right thing. And I agree. Isn’t it a wonderful day? Is it? Yeah, it is. Did you see the news? The police are at the hospital and they’re transporting Dimitri to the county jail. So he’s finally gonna pay for what he did to you.

Well, no, he won’t be paying until he’s in the seventh circle of hell, but it’s a start.

Okay. Right, a nurse is on her way down here from the fifth floor with a wheelchair so we can get Von Leutschner out of here. Fifth floor. Fifth floor.

Well, I mean, I’m sorry, Brady, I just can’t relate, you know, because my teenagers were absolutely angels. And everyone knows what an exemplary mother I was, right? And as you know, Sammy practically raised herself. Yeah, I know. I know I’m not the first parent to deal with an angry child, okay? But, think about that little boy that you…

He thought I hung the moon, and now he’s my severest critic. The worst part? I agree with most of what he’s saying. No, no, you can’t do that. Don’t do that. I mean, parents make stupid mistakes just like kids do. And you just, just have to move on. Anyway, uh, is Tate, is he already working? Cause I was gonna go in the kitchen and say hi.

No, he actually headed on over to the DiMera’s. Are you okay with that? He’s going to see his sister Rachel. Apparently, Tate’s gonna help me with my custody arrangement. Really?

Okay. Well, as they say, may God go with him.

Christopher. It’s, it’s Tate. Oh. I’m so sorry. Um, you will always be Christopher to me. My gosh, you’ve grown up. Hi, Holly. What are you doing here? I, uh, I came here to see Rachel. I haven’t seen her since I got back from California. Oh! Oh, well I’m sure Rachel would love to see you. Um, how long are you here in Salem?

I actually moved back. Oh, that’s wonderful. You know what? I am gonna go get Rachel. She’s gonna be so happy to see you.

So, you’re here to see your little sister. Sure. And what part of you’re dead to me didn’t you get? Look, I know I messed up. And I’m sorry. I didn’t know I was talking to your mom. I mean, when I told her that you were in love with someone. Yeah, and she came this close to finding out who it was. I had to lie to her and say I only said that because I wasn’t interested in you.

Right. So, who is it? Who are you in love with? Sorry, sorry, none of my business. No, it’s not. But, whatever, I don’t care. Everyone’s gonna know sooner or later. Just don’t spread it around, okay? Okay, I won’t. It’s… Johnny Demura. Johnny? Isn’t he, uh, isn’t he a little old for you? I didn’t ask for your opinion, did I?

No, no, sorry. And look, I know texting you that over and over again hasn’t done me any good, so I took the first excuse that I had to come here and tell you it in person. Just so you know, that night that I saw you in the park, I I was in a bad spot, okay? I’d just gotten kicked out of school, my parents were furious with me, and…

I didn’t want to be here. In Salem, I mean. And then I met you, and… Everything else didn’t seem so bad. Okay, that was, that was lame. But, But look, Your mom bought your story, so you’re fine. And if I see her again, I’ll back it up. Promise. Look, you’re the only friend I have in this town so far. I’d really like to start over.

If that’s okay. Please.

Okay, well what about, um, Yeah, that’s not gonna work. You seem to be out of ideas. Maybe I should nuzzle you again. I’m not in the mood. Okay, well here’s an idea, Gabby. Maybe you could fake it. You could try that. That’s it. That’s it. We’re gonna fake it. Huh? Yeah, we don’t need Kristen to look like a bad parent.

We just need Rachel to be in some kind of trouble that Kristen can be blamed for. So we engineer. Exactly. Oh, we might need help. I mean, Rachel really only trusts us so much, so we might need somebody to help us. So, Brady? I’m sure he’d be happy to lend a hand, so we cook something up that makes Kristen look bad.

We show her. We tell her. We show her the proof. We tell her it’s either the shares or she loses Rachel. Of course, this plan requires us to stab Brady in the back after he helps us out, and… Kristen is going to insist on destroying that evidence. That’s true. So what now? Do you have another plan? What do you think?

Where is the nurse with that wheelchair? What’s taking Kayla so long? Let’s prove this. Let’s just go get him. Yeah.

We can’t have you calling her for help. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Can we? How did you get out of this handcuff anyway? Hm. Let’s just say my boyfriend is very good with his hands. And he should be back any minute now to bust me out of here. Well, you’re not going to get away with it. How do you think you’re going to get past security?

Nurse Leona, at your service.

So, Tate’s going to infiltrate the DiMera Fortress to get you to Rachel? That is really good of him to do that. Hold on. He has an ulterior motive. He wants to score points with a girl.

Oh, and, uh, another thing, if your mom ever finds that, uh, that blunt you had, blame me. I mean it. Okay. Fine, whatever. We’re good. Does that mean we can be friends again? Friends? Right. Yeah. And I’m not gonna try to kiss you again. I promise I still feel pretty embarrassed about that. Yeah, well. Don’t be. Let’s just move on, okay?

Okay. So, uh, handshake, then? Well, that is weird. I can’t find Rachel.

You’re not supposed to have us until after dinner. Well, it’ll be our little secret. And speaking of secrets, I’ve been thinking about that time we played 20 questions and how much fun it was. I guess so. And maybe we should play again except this time. I’ll have the secret and you do the guessing. You have a secret for me to guess?

Oh yeah, and it’s a good one.

So, are you here to see my father or Marlena? Actually, I’m here to see you, with a question. How would you like to get your daughter back?

What the hell? What happened? Von Leuchner handcuffed me to the bed. That’s what happened. He took my phone and I couldn’t reach the call button. And then he just, he just willed himself out of there? No, no. Uh, Nurse Leona did it.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It’s a team, I don’t even know it.

Sorry for falling apart like this. It’s okay. It’s understandable. Jenna? Honey, what’s wrong? Hey, um, my sister, she’s, she’s leaving Salem. She’s actually on her way to the airport right now. What? But she just got a job at the hospital. I thought she was happy. She was, uh, up until recently. Oh. So it’s, is it about Sean?

And sleeping together? The repercussions thereof? You knew about that? Well, Marlena told me. Hey, look. No judgment whatsoever, but I think it probably is best for Marlena, Belle, and Natalia too, that if they’re just not in close proximity for a while. Yeah, I get that. I just, I just wish it didn’t end up this way.

Of course not. It has been great having your little sister with you. Jada, I’m here for you. Always. Rafe is too. Always.

So, how long can I expect the silent treatment for? Oh, you mean since you turned my mother into the police and now she’s on the run? What? What is? What’s the big deal? What is so awful about Vivian going off to spend her golden years in her homeland? With the rolling hills and the olive groves, having her manservants be late to her deep tissue massage?

Come on, I did her a favor, please. And can we just focus on the positive here? We have Dimitri and Megan’s shares. And, Tremor, please. Now that, that vile, good for nothing nephew of yours is headed straight to the penitentiary.

I brought your favorite, banana pumpkin with un petite espresso caramel infusion. Not only just, it’s a vanilla something earlier. Did you remember the chocolate sprinkles? They’re mixed in there just the way you like it. Oh, you are too good to me. Mmm. Mmm. It’s got that real je Well, are you planning on sharing it?

Let me think about it. No, you don’t deserve it. Why not? Because we could have had it all, you big handsome dummy, and you ruined everything.

All done. Got my father set up an assisted living home. Honey, that’s wonderful. Did you like it? He was sold the minute he found out they had a karaoke machine and a Saturday night dance party. And I swear, he’s probably getting ready to bust out his bell bottom pants and ruffled shirts. That is great to hear.

Hey, best part, just a short drive up the road here so I can drop in on him anytime I want. We all can. Super. Wonderful. I’m glad they found some room for him, especially since we’ve got a full house with Tate moving in. Yeah, isn’t it great having so much family around, Doc? You know, it would be almost perfect if Belle wasn’t going through such a rough time.

Hey, you think maybe you can cut off work early and we can go in and check in on her? You know what? I don’t have anybody else the rest of the day. That could work very well. Oh,

Marlena, I need your help.

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

I just wanted to make sure you arrived safely. No, no, no, no, you and Roger have a lot of catching up to do. I love you too, Mother. You know, it’s amusing how ruthless and dare I say Machiavellian you two are normally, but when it comes to your mothers you turn into little saps. You’re gonna have to forgive my wife, E.

J. Charming, as she is, she doesn’t quite understand the bond between a mother and a son. And in case I haven’t mentioned it already, I was elated to hear that Susan is still alive. Thank you, brother, um, for what it’s worth. I’m, um, I’m sorry that your mother was forced to go on an extended vacation, as it were.

Me too. So, Vivian only shot Dimitri to protect you and Kathy? That’s right. The thing I’m failing to understand is, what made Dimitri snap? Why did our nephew suddenly decide that he wanted the both of you in an early grave?

I didn’t realize you were so angry with me. Of course I’m angry! Even through the Botox, can’t you see my facial muscles compressing? I expressly told you not to kill Gabby and Stefan, and your headstrong ass went ahead and tried to do it anyway. Yes, Leo, and I told you that I did not plan for any of that to happen.

It just… Just what? What did you plan? Because you threatened them, Dimitri, with a gun! Now the love of my life is going to prison. Where does that leave me, huh?

Look, I’m gonna have to go. Uh, somebody just walked in. Yeah, we’ll talk later. Bye. Paulina, what can I do for you? Oh, come on, Elena. You can rescue me from my frustration and misery. That’s what you can do. You see… My husband, he is, he’s on the brink of getting his memory back, and I need you to push him right over that edge.

Hey, Tink. Listen, your old man was thinking. Uh, maybe Mom and I, we could stop by your place later with some of your favorite takeout? What do you think?

No, no, no, no, I, I, no, I understand. No, no, no, no, don’t, don’t be sorry. You need your space. I get all that. I just… We just want you to know that we are here for you if you ever need us, honey.

We love you too, kiddo. Yeah. Bye bye, baby girl.

Hold on.

Hey, Abraham. Get your buddy in here. All right. What’s going on? Well, I’m sorry to drop in unannounced like this, but, uh, I was just wondering if I could speak with your daughter, Bill. Uh, no, because I’m afraid she doesn’t live here, but I actually just got off the phone with her. Oh, that’s right. That’s right.

It’s your, it’s your son who lives here. You know, it’s hard to keep track of everyone. You know, it is. So what do you want to speak to Bell about? I, uh, it’s just that I was, uh, I was wondering if she could help me file for divorce.

So you want to divorce Paulina? Hmm. You know, I was kind of under the impression things were getting better between the two of you. Yeah, they were. Last night, I went over to her place for dinner, and when I got there, she suggested that we decant the wine. Right. So, without thinking, I went over to a particular cabinet and put out the decanter.

You remembered where it was? Paulina certainly thinks so. She’s, you should have seen how excited she was. She just, she just went on and on about it for the rest of the night. Okay. So because of that you, you, you want to end your marriage? Let me ask you something. Why would you be upset with Paulina if she thought you were getting your memory back?

I’m not upset with her because of that. Or anything else. I… I’m ending my marriage to Paulina. Because I’ve come to care about her. So much. And I’m divorcing her. For her own good.

Abraham insisted that it was just a lucky guess that he knew where that decanter was. But, it had to be a memory, right? Well, it could have been his subconscious. See? See? You get it? Now, well, how can we unlock electroshock, or one of those, uh, what do they call it? An ayahuasca retreat? Listen to me. From a sense I have of all the anxiety that you’re in and all the pain you’re going through, I think maybe you could benefit from some therapy yourself.

So Michaels is going to be my new partner? Yeah, well, it’s an unorthodox hire, I know. And Mayor Price still has to sign off on it, of course. And you, if you don’t think it’s the right fit. He was a Navy SEAL. I’m sure he’s more than qualified for the position. Besides, he practically saved your life in London.

Oh, okay. I’d like to think I could have handled Edmund P. Crumb on my own. Thank you very much. Aww. Did I bruise your fragile male ego? Wow, this is what I get for trying to cheer you up. I’m sorry. That’s okay. Anyway, speaking of, uh, Mr. Crumb. I did speak to Harris already about your potential first assignment together.

I want you to figure out who kidnapped DJ’s mother after that car crash and, uh, shipped her off to Mary Old England.

I know that our nephew has always had, shall we say, homicidal tendencies. But surely you two must have done something to set him off.

Just a little while ago, I was about to hand over the shares to you. But then I got to thinking, and knowing you two grifters, it wouldn’t end here. No, no, you would hold what I did to Gwen over my head for as long as you can profit from it. So really, the best thing that I can do right now is nip this in the butt.

Now, Leo did say that I shouldn’t be going to these extremes, but I’m just gonna have to figure out how to understand. Listen, you can keep the shares. We have plenty. Don’t… Please. Nice try. Listen, if it makes you feel any better, you two are gonna make absolutely beautiful corpses. Well, EJ, we made the noteworthy discovery that…

Dimitri was only with Gwen so that he could inherit the von Leuschner fortune. Once we found out that he was sleeping with Leo behind her back, well, we had a chat and we discussed and… We thought, why don’t we blackmail the son of a bitch? So, in exchange for our silence, we decided to… Demand a cut of his family fortune.

But that’s all a moot point now, seeing as Demetri’s in police custody, and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, right? Gwen is on her way to find the family fortune and get her hands on it, and that leaves me and Gabby empty handed. That is unfortunate. Oh, dammit, I just remembered I have an errand I need to run.

Let’s pick this up later, shall we?

Why did you lie? I was looking forward to telling EJ we had Dimitri and Megan’s shares. Because it works out best right now if EJ is none the wiser. At least until we can figure out and strategize on how best to put these shares to use.

Really? I’m the love of your life? Well, who else would it be, a big dope? Oh, I do know about that, uh, stockpile of Pedro Pascal photos on your phone. Oh, well, that’s just a silly crush. And sure, there’s no shortage of tall, dark and brooding zaddies I would happily lather in coconut oil. Okay. But you’re the only one I love.

I love you too.

You know I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. You, Dimitri, you were my fairytale prince. The one who found my glass Louis Vuitton spring collection slipper at the mall. Slid it on my foot.

Never in a million years did I think something like this could happen to me. I was so No, we were so Close. And then you screwed it all up to a damn fairly well. I know. I know. I let my ego get the best of me and I made a royal mess of everything. I’m sorry. Sorry? Sorry isn’t good enough. I screwed over my best friend, my only friend, to be with you.

Now she hates me. You know Gwen left town, right? Yeah, I heard that she’s in Europe lobbying for the Von Mueschner inheritance. Well, I hope she gets every last euro. And or pound, and or Swedish krona, or whatever else. She deserves it after the way we treated her. But it’s my money. Well, what good is it going to do you?

You’re probably going to spend the next 20 years in prison.

Not if you help bus me outta here,

Mr. Crumbs, where he can’t remember the man who called him about Susan. Susan can’t remember anything until she was dropped off in London. Doesn’t sound like we have much to go on then, does it? Well, except for the fact that I have my best detective on the case, so I’m not worried. Excuse me.

Hernandez. Oh, that’s great. Yeah, I’m on my way. Well, that was Dimitri von Leuchner’s doctor, and apparently the lowlife is well enough to be transferred to a holding cell. Hmm, want some backup? Yeah, you know what? I think I might need someone to keep me in line. Right. Well, let’s go because we don’t want this man to slip through our fingers like his mom did.

Nope.

You want me to help you… escape? Yes. Yes. We still have some time before the cops come and transfer me to jail. So we’d either spend that teary eyed waxing sentimental or we can look at this as a golden opportunity to run away together. I mean, we could. We could do that. But no, no, we can’t. We’d be on the lam for the rest of our lives.

What about that fluffy little dog I’ve been talking about getting? Or my very regimented skin care routine? Yes, I know all about your love for creature comforts, and I understand that this is a huge ask, Leo, but you did just say that I am the love of your life. Leo, look at me. We can still have our happily ever after.

We just need to act, like, right now. Buongiorno, buongiorno. And I must say, you are looking rather well, nephew. Obviously on the mend. Uncle EJ, uh, what are you doing here? I thought you could use a little pick me up. Chocolate peanut butter. Harold said it’s your favorite. Yeah, that’s, uh, that is strangely kind of you.

Why strangely? I mean, I know you and I haven’t exactly been close, but you are my nephew. And when I heard that Stefan’s demented mother, whom should be surrounded by padded walls, shot you in the back, I was rather appalled. Nuh uh. Nope. As both a cinephile and a former understudy in my theater camp production of My Fair Lady, I have a very keen eye for bad acting.

So, Mr. Pretty Sexy English Accent, why don’t you tell us the real reason you’re here? Well, since Dimitri is headed for a rather lengthy stay in prison, I thought there was perhaps a discussion to be had about his and his mother’s demure shares. You may not be Be aware, dear nephew, but the corporate bylaws restrict shareholders from voting if incarcerated.

So, I thought, while you’re up playing Yahtzee in Statesville, that it would be best if I took possession of said shares. As your uncle, your family, I promise to have your best interests at heart.

Well, dear uncle, I am touched. But unfortunately, you are just a little too late. You see, I no longer have the shares.

As we discussed, now that we have Dimitri and his mother’s shares, that doesn’t give us an absolute majority. But, it puts us on equal footing with EJ, so if he so much as wants to move a mop bucket from the janitor’s closet, he needs our votes. Yeah, but, Myanmar, we are on the same boat. We can’t captain the ship if we’re in a deadlock.

Right, so the key is… How do we beat the deadlock? How do we get the upper hand? Look at you going all el jefe. Okay, so we have four votes that we outright own. EJ has two. Two plus Chad, Tony, Theo, right? And Johnny. And I don’t see any of those clowns switching sides any time soon. I could still work my magic on these.

Hard pass. Okay, okay. So they have seven votes. And… So do we. But then we add in Kristen, Peter, and Steven, which we know they’re solid. I’m not so sure about that.

You know, maybe I’m not following you, partner. You see, Paulina, She loves you. A divorce is the last thing she wants. Well, maybe it’s the thing she needs. I don’t want my wife to live in disappointment. Maybe she needs to find someone who will. Doesn’t have this kind of baggage.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, maybe, maybe you’re right. Maybe Paulina would be better off with, with someone else. And I just happen to have the perfect guy in

mind. I need therapy. My memory’s just fine. I know it is. I’m just concerned about your fixation on Abe’s memory. What? Hello? He is my husband. Of course I want him to remember our relationship. I understand. The thing is, I wonder what would happen if you were to focus on the relationship you have right now.

I, I, I understand that your dates have been going very well. Hmm, yeah. Well, they’d be even better if he remembered. You know, our Florida trip, for example. Oh, one night Abraham put me out for this amazing lobster dinner. Oh, he, he was so debonair in his crisp white shirt, khakis. How long’s it gonna take, Marlena, before it all comes back to him?

Paulina, I think you need to prepare yourself for the idea that Abe may never get his memory back.

What am I supposed to do, throw my hands up and surrender? Abe and I have created years of memories together. I’m supposed to pretend it never happened? No, you’re not. You, you get to cherish all those memories. But Abe doesn’t have them. And you’re going to have to be okay with that. No, I can’t be. Now, I’m a very stubborn woman, Marlena.

And when I, when I set my mind to something… Listen to me. You have to find your way to acceptance, because if you don’t, you’ll be pressuring Abe to remember. And when he doesn’t, he’s going to feel as though he’s let you down. And as far as I’m concerned, that could be the beginning of the end of your relationship.

Who is this guy you think would be perfect for Paulina? My dad. Your dad? My dad. Yeah. It’s a long story, but let’s just say that we have recently reconnected. Why do you think he and Paulina would be the perfect match? Oh, he’s got a lot going for him. Uh, this guy. How old is he? I mean, no offense, John, but…

You’re not exactly a spring chicken. He’s only 97. Only 97? A young 97. A man can’t even cook. And he’s got this really mean soft shoe here, and he’s a fabulous singer, and he’s got his own place, and I’m telling you, I really think Paulina would like him a lot. Are you out of your mind? What makes you think that Paulina’s gonna be up for sitting around watching reruns of Gunsmoke and playing bingo?

Hey, man, I’m Carmen. If I didn’t know you well enough, I’d… So you feel a little jealous?

Your shares, what happened to your shares? They’re gone. I gave them away. To who? Gabby and Uncle Stefan. Why the hell would you do that? Well, since Dimitri is still recovering from his wounds, and the last thing he needs is to have to explain himself to the pompous, callous likes of you, I will be as concise as possible.

Is this okay with you, my love? Oh, please proceed. Dimitri had no choice. Those two creeps were blackmailing him, which is why he pulled the gun on them. And after he was shot, lying on the floor of the mansion, basically dying, and because they are altogether terrible, amoral, and altogether loathsome people, they said they wouldn’t call an ambulance until after he turned over his shares.

Those bastards. Yeah, I’m sure you’re horrified people can be so corrupt. Actually, I am, and in the best interest of not wasting any more time, I am out of here. Oh, well, thank you so much for stopping by, dear uncle, and thank you, again, for that yogurt. A little piece of advice for prison, find the biggest, meanest guy you can see, and crack him that way they’ll know not to mess with you.

Okay?

Well, that was unnecessary, and a total waste!

I don’t think we should lose sleep over Steven, okay? I’ve had him wrapped around my finger for years. That may be, okay, but I’m actually more worried about Kristen and Peter. See, Peter’s like Kristen’s lapdog. He votes in lockstep with her every single time. I just don’t see Kristen turning on us. Not when EJ’s the alternative.

They’ve had a very rocky relationship. True, but with Megan and Demetri’s shares out of the way, Kristen’s holding a much more attractive hand. And EJ now has a lot more time and energy to devote to getting my sister to align with him, right? We could be screwed. So we need to make sure Kristen is feeling very…

warmly… toward us.

Or… we just… take her shares… the way we took Demetri’s. Oh, Marlena,

I can’t lose my Abraham. He’s the love of my life. Then you need to stop worrying so much about the past. And, and focus on your future. Start, start making new memories with him.

Okay. Okay. I’ll take your advice and, and back off. Cause all I want is for my precious husband to have peace of mind. To be happy. And I’ll do my damndest to help him get there. Or, I’ll do anything for that man.

You’ll pardon me if I’m hearing correctly. Although you’re talking a big game about letting Paulina go, I don’t think you’re ready to do that, especially if you’re threatened by the possibility of a 97 year old man sweeping her off her feet. Okay, okay, okay, okay. You’re right. Maybe I’m not ready to let her go.

Especially because I… Because what?

I think I, uh…

I think I’m falling back in love with her. It’s music to my ears. Do you know what that means? If you file for divorce, you’re only gonna hurt the both of you. What if I’m never going to be enough for her? What if I’m never going to be the man I once was? Abraham, I have known Paulina for a long time. All she wants is you.

With your memories, or without. Really? You think so? Now, I know so. You and Paulina are meant to be together, and that, my friend, is a fact.

You know what? Maybe you were right. Maybe I shouldn’t have ratted out your mother. She could have been useful right now. Really? What? What are you saying? We bring her back here, have her empty a clip into Kristen’s back, and if by some medical marvel she’s still alive, we refuse her medical attention until she signs her shares over to us?

Well, it worked before. I do not want my sister to die. Okay. Fine. Fine. We need to find a way to exploit her weak spot, okay, like we did with your nephew. You two. God, you make me sick. What is your problem? My problem? I just paid a visit to our nephew, Dimitri, in the hospital, and he told me that you two forced him to hand over his shares on pain and death.

So? So. Dammit, I thought we called a truce. Hmm? Are you going to, I don’t know, invade Poland? Cut the holier than thou act, Junior. Don’t sit here and pretend like you didn’t go to that hospital with the same exact intention. You’re just pissed because we beat you to the punch.

I give up. It’s Jennifer Coolidge’s Vanity Mirror. How did you not guess that? You said Eastern European cities. Did I? Yes. Okay, you win. Thank you. For the now melted yogurt. Oh, you know I can’t stay mad at you. That cute little twinkle in your eye. So, does that mean that you might help bust me out of here?

Thereby subjecting us to a lifetime of fake passports, driving Italian sports cars, lunging from one rooftop to the next. Okay, James Bond. At the risk of sounding insensitive, what exactly is keeping you in Salem? I mean, what… Do you have to lose? Well, My dear old mother is in Statesville. You told me you hated her.

I do, but my therapist and I are working very hard to reframe that. Right. Okay. Well, uh, You don’t really have any other friends here now that Gwen is gone. What about my career? The gossip column. Yes, of course, of course. Um, well, surely you can give up Lady Whistleblower. But I love her. And what about all my adoring fans, my little whistles?

Okay, let me ask you this. Who do you love more, Lily Whistleblower or me?

Mr. Von Leutzner? Hope we’re not interrupting.

Okay, what time are we going over to Belle’s? Uh, it’s not gonna happen. She said she wants to be alone right now, but I told her her mom and dad are here for you whenever you need us. I’m so sorry she’s going through all this. Yeah, so am I. But she’s strong. Just like a mother. She’ll be all right. Tell me about your, uh, last appointment.

How’d it go? It wasn’t really an appointment. I, uh, had a visit from Paulina. She’s kind of going through it with Abe and I, I just, I told her just to stay in the moment. Oh, that’s interesting. Because Abe showed up here and I kind of gave him the same advice. No. Oh my gosh. Look at us. We’re working as a team and don’t even know it.

We’re a team, baby. Always have been. Always will be.

I was really happy to get your call, eh? Well, I’m so glad that you agreed to meet me here. Right. About the other night, I’m sorry if I seemed a bit, uh… Overzealous about the possibility of your memories coming back. That’s a lot of pressure to put on you when you have enough on your plate. You were pretty intense.

But I do admire that about you. I admire your passion. Your determination. Thank you for understanding. Um, so, why did you want to meet up? Well, I thought that I would take you to the bistro for dinner. Um, right now? But, well, Abe, that’s really, uh, it’s kind of early. Yes, yes, and I saw that they have an early bird special.

Well, that’s for, that’s for old married couples. So that’s what we are. Married? Yeah. But old? Hell no! Alright, I stand corrected. I stand corrected. So we can do… Something else? No, no, no, no. It’s okay. I do love me a good deal. Shall we? Please. Yes. Oh, you. Oh, you don’t forget that. There we go. You two are not going to push me out of the family business.

Nobody said we were. I think he’s projecting. Are you projecting? You know, we were just trying to make sure things were fair. We are happy to continue working side by side. I don’t believe you. Not for a second. And just remember, two can play at this game.

He’s gonna go for Christian’s shoes. Well then, no time to waste. That’s right.

I just had a brilliant idea.

And to what do I owe this pleasure? Detective Hunter and I are here to escort you to a cell at Salem PD. But he’s still recovering from a gunshot wound. Yeah, well, he’s also accused of attempted murder of two law abiding citizens. One of whom happens to be the Commissioner’s sister. And according to his doctors, Mr.

Von Leuchner has made a full recovery and is fit to stand trial. Yep, soon as Dr. Johnson signs a release, we’ll be on our way. Okay. Okay, well we still have a few minutes.

How do we get you out of here?

Okay, so let’s hear your brilliant idea. How are we going to get Kristen DiMera’s shares and throw EJ on his oh so British butt? Okay, well, to state the obvious, Kristen’s not going to willingly sign those shares over to us, right? Right. So how are we going to make that happen? Through her Achilles heel, of course.

And what would that be? Oh, yes, Rachel, of course. The apple of her eye.

Well, I don’t know about you, honey, but I had the best time ever shopping with my little girl. I had the best time, too. Well, maybe we should make it a weekly occurrence. What do you think? Can’t we do it every day? Oh, I wish we could, but, uh, guess what? You have school and piano lessons and swimming lessons.

So, you’re finally back, you little brat. Hey, Holly, is there a problem? Actually, yeah. Someone needs to set her straight, or I’m going to break her face.

Great. A welcoming committee. Yeah, have a seat, bud. Listen, I’ve got some great news for you. Your great Uncle Roman here, he is generous.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sean resigned? I’m as surprised as you are. What’s he gonna do now? Well, he’s leaving town, moving closer to his parents. I guess there’s a good rehab facility out there. I see. Well, at least he’s getting the help that he needs, wherever that may be. Yeah. What are you thinking? Oh. I know Sean promised that it was just a one night stand, what happened with he and my sister, and that it will never happen again.

But, I still can’t help but feel a bit relieved that the two of them are going to be very far apart from each other.

Wait, Mrs. Brady.

Look, I just wanted to say, um, when you walked in on me talking to Sean at the police station, that was just a one time thing, okay? You never have to worry about me dropping in on him ever again. Yeah, I know. Because Sean just left town.

Happy birthday, my love.

God, look at you. You’re still the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.

Abby.

I know you’ve been gone for a while now. But I

still miss you.

Every minute. Of every day.

You’re still with me though.

I hear.

You know, we have um, we have a good birthday planned for you. Julie’s gonna, gonna meet me at the cemetery with the kids.

Spoiler alert. I brought you flowers

and then the kids say I made you a few things.

Remember the good times?

How happy you made us all.

How grateful we are. We were for the time that we did have with you.

We should’ve,

we should’ve had more though. We should’ve had so much more time.

I have, I’ve tried. Believe me, I have tried to get rid of this anger.

Because I know that is what you would want.

But I

can’t. I can’t. Because every time,

I think about how I found you that night.

I think about how you were taken from

us. And I think about Clyde Weston and what you.

To us.

How can that son of

a bitch live with himself? Oh, Ava? Ava Vartali? Yes? It’s so nice to hear your voice. Uh, listen. Little Birdie told me that your baby boy had an accident at work today. And, um, I think you should know. It wasn’t no accident. What? Who the hell is this? Well, uh, you’ll find out soon enough. Cause you and I, we got a lot to talk about, mama.

Why? Why did you attack my son? Well, I think you misunderstood. Um, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do the deed myself. You see, at the present time, I happen to be locked up. You’re in prison. That’s right. You do catch on fast. But like I said, we need to talk in person. So why don’t you mosey on down to Statesville and ask to see prisoner number 49.

9 2 4, a. k. a. Clad Westin.

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

Clad Westin. Why would you attack my son? Answer me. I await your arrival, Miss Vitale, when all will be revealed. Hey,

Mom,

where are you going? Um, I, uh, I have to take care of something. I’ll be back. Wait,

Sean left town? Wow, I, I had no idea. Just to be clear, Sean and I are still together. He just went to go spend some time with his parents and get the help that he needs. Yeah, of course. But, you’re not going with him? Not that it’s any of your business, but no. I’ll be staying here in Salem for the foreseeable future.

So listen, if you could just do me a favor. Yeah, anything. Just stay away from me, okay?

Talia and Sean, I know how upsetting that was for you. Never mind me. He cheated on his wife. Yeah, Bell’s the one that’s really going through it. Well, the alcohol clouded his judgment. And hers. But, uh, he realizes he has a problem and he’s dealing with it and that’s a good thing. In the meantime, I need to find you a partner and considering we are understaffed, I’m gonna need to hire someone new.

Yes? Uh, excuse me, Commissioner. Uh, do you have a moment? Is

Belle okay? Why do you ask? Well, because she was in earlier, and she just seemed off. You know, and I, I know that she’s been having problems with Sean, but I thought that you told me he was doing okay and that she was encouraged. She was. She was. Um, but then things have gone, uh, rather badly. They’ve gone from bad to worse, in fact.

And it just makes me so sad because she’s, she… She has supported him. She has stood by him. During his, uh, drinking. During his depression because of his father and his grandfather and now… And now what?

Now he’s cheated on her. Let’s tell you, Hunter.

I know, Mrs. Brady, that this is bad. Listen, Talia, listen. I don’t blame you for what happened. Okay? Not entirely, anyway. I know that this is on Sean. Right. Having said that, though, I’m sure you can understand why I just don’t want to be around you. But it’s going to be hard. It’s going to be hard to avoid each other in Salem because it’s a really small town and, you know, I get the sense that you probably don’t want to be bumping into me either, so why don’t we just agree to just steer clear of each other, okay, like, forever.

Okay, I’m here.

What the hell is going on? Ms. Fatale, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Oh, cut the crap. Why’d you have my son attacked? Right to the point, huh? I do lack that in a woman. Okay. Why did I have you sign up tech? Because you screwed up my plans. You see, I’m trying to build a business empire from in here. Oh, an empire, huh?

Of what? Toilet wine? Blue cigarettes? No. Pharmaceuticals. And we were all about ready to launch. When you nearly destroyed the entire operation. And how’d I do that? Well, you see, I couldn’t really run a business from in here, so I needed a partner on the outside. Oh my God, can we please get to the point?

Well, let’s just say that this partner was less than a willing participant. But, I found the means to force him to do my bidding. Until, of course, you stole my leverage. Leverage? What leverage? What the hell are we talking about here? We’re talking about the partner I just lost. Who happens to be a close personal friend of yours.

Mr. E. J. DeMare.

Chad, what brings you by? Uh, you know, Thomas and Charlotte wanted to see Rachel. Apparently her toys are much, much better than theirs. Yes, I think she got a new hole last week. Right. Anyway, I thought it would be good for the kids to have a play date. Yeah. We just came from Abby’s grave. Of course. Today is her birthday, isn’t it?

Yeah, you remember. She was my sister and all. I

miss her too.

Mr. Michaels. What can I do for you? Well, I was hoping to have a word with you. Your assistant said now might be a good time, but I don’t mean to interrupt. No, you’re fine. I was actually just about to go grab some lunch. So, excuse me. So, Amanda, what’s up? Uh, you know, I’m a bit reluctant, um, given the circumstances and, uh, my recent history and not so recent history.

You know what, I think this is just a mistake. Wait, wait, what’s a mistake? What’s on your mind? Well, I’m here because, um,

I wonder if there’s any possibility that maybe… Harris, why don’t you just say it? I need a job.

I still can’t believe the, uh, the news about your, your mother. I mean, You must be so happy, so relieved. I am. I, I just… I just wish that she could have stayed. Did she go back to Memphis? Couldn’t wait to get back to Roger and tell, tell him the good news. That, like the king himself, the rumors of her death were greatly exaggerated.

Yeah, I envy you. Yeah, I mean, your mom may have gone home, but, uh, but she’s out there. Somewhere, you know, she’s just a, she’s just a quick flight away. Yes, that’s, that is true. And Chad, how I wish that were the case with Abigail. I know today is especially difficult. Her birthday. Yeah, it is. You know, let’s um, focus on the good news.

You got your mom back. I do. I do. And, and, honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the moment that Harris Michaels brought her through those doors.

You need a job. Oh, you mean here? Yeah. Yes. Here. I mean, although I may not have experience with law enforcement, I was talking to Kate Brady. Uh, you know Kate, right? Yeah. Yeah. We’re acquainted. Okay. Well, um, she actually mentioned, um, that, you know, the training and the skills that I do have, that I could be maybe of some value to you.

Ah, I see. Right. So when you say training, you mean in the Navy? Yeah, that’s, that’s exactly what I mean. Yeah. I went to the police academy before, then I went to the military, and that’s when I became a SEAL. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I’m sure you have quite the skill set. Yeah. I mean, you used it, uh, in those special ops you did for Megan Hathaway, right?

You kidnapped John Black and Steve Johnson. That’s no mean feat. Yeah, that’s uh, not what I was talking about when I said I was qualified. Yeah. So, um, I thank you for your time, Commissioner. Yeah, well why are you rushing off so fast? I was enough.

So, do we understand each other? You and I are just gonna do everything we can to stay as far away from each other as possible because I really just need you to stay away from me. Talia, are you okay? Hey. Hey, I couldn’t hear what Belle was saying to you just now, but I can’t imagine that it was anything good.

No, it wasn’t. But I mean, I get it. She has every right to hate me. Yeah, well maybe she does. But she has no right to be cruel to you. Okay? Listen. I’m gonna go talk to her, okay? No, please don’t, okay? I don’t want to cause more trouble than it already is. So please just leave it. Okay.

Whatever, fine. But listen, Talia. Sean was complicit in what he did. And at some point, Belle’s gonna have to realize that you did not mean to hurt her. And I know, I know this sounds cliche, but please believe me when I say that this will get better, okay? It’ll get easier in time. Yup. I know it will. Because…

Jayna, I won’t be here.

Tripp? Hey. I didn’t expect to find you here. Ah, but here I am. Uh, how’d it go at the unemployment office? Well, I filed my claim. Mm hmm. And then I got the hell out of there. You know, I think that place has the DMV beat. Hands down, worst afternoon ever. Which is why you are definitely a sight for sore eyes.

Well, after the day I’ve had, I can definitely say the same about you. But why are you even here? I thought you had to shift at the hospital. I did, I did. But then I got the hell out of there. And so, if you want it, that means we could. Wait, wait, wait. What about your mom? She’s not here. When’s she coming back?

That’s hopefully not too soon. Yeah, that’s not too reassuring, Tripp. I’m sorry, I know. I don’t know where she is. Uh, she did leave in kind of a hurry, though. Is something wrong? I hope not. Uh, but she did seem kind of rattled. Uh, I don’t know. She has something to take care of. I have no idea what it was.

DJ. What are you talking about? What leverage? You really need me to spell it out? Okay. I had his momma on ice in London. Oh my god. It was you. You handed Susan over to Edmund Crumb.

How? How’d you do it from in here? Providence, Miss Vitali. Providence. An associate of mine just happened upon an injured Susan right after the crash. He flew a kite my way. Wasn’t very difficult to find that Looney Tunes ex husband of hers in London, so I just had her labeled fragile and shipped her on over.

And what, so you just, what, sat on her for about a year? Well, let’s just say that, um, finding investors was a little more difficult than I anticipated. But, lucky for me, Cronus took the side with Susan. Well, no problem to have him keep her under wraps until I did everything lined up, you know, then I was going to use her To force him to run my business But why AJ Well He and I did some business together back in the day And last time I got out of here.

I pitched teaming up again. Did he? Shopping down. Mr Posh Spice in his fancy mansion, but I found the incentive to, uh, Force his perfectly manicured hand. Until you stole my leverage. I think the word you’re looking for is… Rescued. So?

Because I messed up your little plan accidentally. You decide to try and kill my son? It’s fatality. Discretion is appreciated. Oh, you can shove your… I did not try to kill you, son. That was a warning. Because I need someone to replace EJ. And that someone’s gonna be you, mama.

Okay, we’re inside. We’re seated. Now tell me everything. And no, I am not gonna wait until we order. Uh, Jada, I… No, no, no, no. Don’t Jada me. I want you to tell me what you meant by you’re not going to be here. Look, it’s just, I was thinking it’s probably best that um, I go back to California. California? But you’re, you’re settled here.

And you have a good job, a great job at the hospital. Yeah, I know. And look, don’t get me wrong, I am very grateful to Kayla for setting that up for me. But look, I still have connections at Stanford. I graduated top of my class. I mean, it has to mean something, right? Of course it does. But it also means something here, too.

Listen, don’t let Belle run you out of town. You deserve to be here just as much as she does. I’m not so sure about that.

Michaels, I was just giving you a hard time. Yeah, you’re gonna have to be able to take that around here. So, you mean… You’d be an invaluable asset to Salem PD. Especially since we are severely understaffed. So, I’m hired? Well, no. I mean, I have to run it past the mayor. Especially considering the fact that you’d be a pretty unorthodox hire.

This would also probably put you back in the headlines. But, um… As long as the mayor doesn’t have a problem with it, I’m open to see you on PD.

I guess we’re pretty lucky then that their Harris Michaels blew into town. I suppose that’s true. But, none of this would have happened if Ava hadn’t remembered seeing my mother escape the car before it exploded. And, as much as I hate to admit it, I also have Ava to thank for bringing my mother back home to me.

Ugh. So, ketchup or hot sauce? Hm? To muscle down the, the hat? Or did, I mean, there’s no way you could have eaten it dry. Or did, was it crow that you had to eat? Yes, yes, yes. Enjoy it while it lasts, brother. So, then, um. Are you actually turning over a new leaf? Are you and Ava square? I’m not going to do anything drastic if that’s what you’re asking me.

But I don’t think square is the word I would use. Ava may have brought my mother back to me. But she is also responsible for my mother disappearing in the first place. I lost a year with my mother, Chad. And I won’t forgive her for that.

You want me to run your new drug empire? You used to run banks for the Philly mob, didn’t you? That was a long time ago. I’m going straight. Trying to put my life back together, and that starts with getting a legitimate job. Well, I’ll set you up with a legitimate job, alright? That’s not a problem. I got connections at the Bistro.

The Bistro? Mm hmm. What, in Horton Town Square? That’s the one. It’ll be a front, but… You’ll look the part. And none of your loved ones will be any of the wiser. Speaking of What? Well…

You know, I expected you to put up a little bit of a fight about this, which is why I sent my friend to visit your son. But like I said, that’s a warning. And if you don’t… Do what I ask you to do.

We sum to dead man.

You know what, this might be about Harris Michaels. Why do you think that? Well, when I got here, he, uh, was here. And they were a little friendly. Oh, friendly. Yeah. Which is a euphemism for more than friendly. Yeah. So you think there’s something going on between them? Well, my mom tried to deny it, but then, uh, she ended up telling me that the two of them are planning to have dinner.

Oh! Mm hmm. Good for them. Mm hmm. And, you know, they say the best relationships start out as friendships. Oh. Yeah. I mean, look at us. Oh.

What’s wrong? It’s nothing. Wait, wait. Is that a bandage in my hair? It’s nothing, really. Tripp, what happened? I was attacked at work. You were what?

So, a patient attacked you at work. You need to be bandaged up. And sent home early, and I don’t hear a word about it? I’m telling you now, and honestly, it’s really not that big of a deal. Trip, you got stabbed. It wasn’t a stabbing, okay? It was a minor cut. Really, the artery’s severed. Oh, how comforting. So?

Was this guy facing charges? They arrested him, right? Actually, he kinda got away. My God, so he’s still somewhere out there. What if he comes back? He won’t. Okay, hey, look. It was just some junkie, right, that went a little nuts. Okay, it’s not like he was out to kill me.

So, if I don’t agree to help you… Yeah, uh… I’m no fancy lawyer like our friend EJ, but from my perspective, I, it looks like you’re trapped. Oh, I’m trapped, okay. It’s pretty interesting coming from a guy who’s sitting here in prison. Oh, well, don’t let these four walls fool you, you know. I think I’ve proved that I can get to anyone on the outside.

And my friends would only be too happy to pay your son a visit on my behalf. Once again. So I don’t have a choice. If I want to keep my son safe, I have to run your business.

I do believe you finally get it.

And I would keep my pretty little mouth shut about this arrangement if I were you. Which, I don’t think should be a problem. You do strike me as a kind of woman who’s really good at keeping secrets.

Yes, sir. Ray, Bob, I do believe this is the beginning of a very profitable friendship.

Oh, I really, uh, I really appreciate this commissioner. Now that I’m working with the Salem PD in an official capacity, maybe there’s still a chance I can get that confession from EJ DeMera after all. Yeah, well, I won’t deny that that thought crossed my mind as well, but, uh, I have something else in mind for you.

Talia, don’t say that. Of course you deserve to be here. Yeah, well, I don’t agree with you. Okay, and even if I did deserve to be here, how can I have a life here now? I mean, I literally work at the hospital with Belle’s mother. Don’t even get me started with Chanel. I thought that was going to be something and now, seeing her with Johnny, you know, that hurts way too much.

So please, can we just face it that Salem was just a failed experiment for me. Tell you, listen, I know you’ve had a lot of disappointment here, but listen, I’m still here. I’m your big sister and I love you. You ride or die. T right. And trust me, I love you too. Okay. But. This isn’t something I just thought about in the spur of the moment.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, okay? So please, please just try not to talk me out of it anymore. This is something that I really need to do.

I’m gonna go

back.

Oh,

Jada. I know this has been hard for you. Talia’s grown up a lot in these past few months, and if she says that it’s time to go, then I believe her. It’s time to go. It’s not necessarily forever. Maybe, maybe she’ll take this time, and when she figures things out in her head, then maybe she’ll come back. Yeah.

Yeah, maybe she will. Yeah.

Hey. Hi. You’re heading to Cali? Yeah. I booked the last seat on the last flight tonight. Well, we’re gonna miss you. We will. Although, I can’t say I blame you with this Midwestern winter coming. Yeah. Yeah. You left to the airport? Um, no. Thanks. Um, I have a car coming. Okay.

So, um, you got everything? Yeah, I think so. But I know if I forget something, I know you’ll mail it to me. Yeah. You know, I got you, sis. And besides, it’s not like mom wouldn’t buy you two new things if you had anything you left anyway. You know. So, um, I’m gonna go. I’m gonna miss you so much. I’m gonna miss you too.

Be safe, okay?

Oh, looks like they approved my unemployment. That’s great. What’s the bad news? In order for my benefits to continue, I’m going to have to show meaningful proof that I’ve been searching for a new job. I was the head of the IT department at DiMera, okay? I can’t just find a health wanted sign in the square.

He just wants you to put something down. Don’t worry too much. Hey, think of this as a bonding opportunity. You could, uh, pound the pavement with my mom. Your mom? Yeah. She’s looking for a job too.

Ava. Oh,

hey. You okay? Yeah, yeah, I’m,

I’m, I’m, I’m fine. Okay, that’s good, because I have some news. Yeah? Just got a job at the Salem PD. Ray fired you, huh? Wow, that’s, that’s crazy. It’s great. Yeah, I couldn’t, I couldn’t believe it. And he’s already assigned me my first case. Really? Yeah. What is it? He wants me to find the person who delivered Susan to Edmund Crowe.

All right, well, I should probably, um, round up the kids. Promise them ice cream. Celebrate their, their mom’s birthday. Right? Chime. My heart breaks for you. And you may not want to hear this right now, but I wish to hell that I killed Clyde Weston when I had the chance. Especially when I’m around your wonderful children.

And mother cruelly taken away from them. From you.

Actually, I, I don’t mind hearing that. I am often, concerned with anger.

Really is a shame that, Belle and Sean, Showed up last year before we had a chance to take that bastard out. It would have been quite fun watching him bleed out in that cemetery.

Well, what do you know? Looks like this is going to work out after all.

Sorry for falling apart like this. Alright, it’s okay. It’s understandable. Jenna? Honey, what’s wrong? Hey. Hey, um, my sister, she’s, she’s leaving Salem. She’s actually on her way to the airport right now. What? But she just got a job at the hospital. I thought she was happy. She was, uh, up until recently. Oh. So it’s, is it about Sean?

And sleeping together? The repercussions thereof? You knew about that? Well, Marlena told me. Hey, look. No judgment whatsoever, but I think it probably is best for Marlena, Belle, and Vitalia too, that if they’re just not in close proximity for a while. Yeah, I, I get that. I just, I just wish it didn’t end up this way.

Of course not.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning, love. Thanks for letting me sleep in so late. I was up until about 3 a. m. dealing with that miserable PR crisis. You were dead asleep when I came to bed last night, so we didn’t get to end the night the way we usually do, but maybe we can start the day

that way. I wasn’t. Expecting to come face to face with Susan Banks, alive. You saw her? I just know. Must be such a huge weight off of your shoulders knowing that you aren’t a killer after all. I’m just so glad she made it. I spent so with guilt over what happened to her. Which I’m sure shocks you since you think I have no conscience that I’m a terrible person.

I don’t think that’s it. I never thought that. It was just, with everything that happened, or what I thought had happened,

I was just afraid to let you back into my life. But now, am.

I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.

This whole thing has just got me so emotional. I’m, I’m so sorry. I know that you’re with Chloe. No, I’m not. Chloe’s moving back to New York with Phillip. She and I are over. But that doesn’t change anything between you and me, Sarah, I, my God, you tried to deprive me of being a father to my own child. You did everything in your power to keep the truth about my daughter from me.

And I regret that now. Maria

is, she is just as much a part of you as she is me, and depriving you of our beautiful baby. It was, it was, it was so terribly unfair. I know that now. I know I was wrong.

Well, I

guess we both know what it’s like to want something so much

that you’ll do anything to hold on to it.

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

Hey! Hello. Oh, hey! Hey! Oh my gosh, welcome back! Thank you, thank you. It’s good to be back. Ah, I heard that London was, uh, an adventure. Yes, yes. I still can’t believe all that happened. I mean, Susan Banks is still alive, which got my mom off the hook for murder, obviously. And not only that, my mom is doing really well now, mentally, in that they released her from Bayview.

That’s a lot to take in, right? Definitely. Yeah. Thank you. Well, um, now that your mom is free, is she going to be staying around Salem for a while? Um, she’s, I don’t think she’s made a decision yet. Uh, she just kind of wants to take a minute to catch her breath. Probably wise. Yeah, just hope that, uh… What?

What do you hope? Well, that just whatever she decides to do, it just gives her some sort of stability. You know, some peace of mind. Because after everything she’s been through the last couple of years, the last thing a mom needs is more drama.

I’ve wanted to do that for quite a while. Yeah, same here. Even though I just told my son that… My feelings for you were not romantic. I was telling Dr. Evans that my feelings for you were strictly platonic.

Well, we, we met at

the time,

right? Yeah, just at the time. Mm. So you were… You’re admitting to me that you shouldn’t have kept me in the dark about my daughter.

Yeah. Yes, I am. Sandra, it wasn’t, it wasn’t some random decision on my end. Yes, I, yes, I know that it was wrong, Mal. I, I do. But at the time, it felt completely justified. I, I mean… Charlie, you understand that, like No! No, Sarah, I don’t, because Look, I know I’ve been a screw up at times, far too many times, I’ve made some terrible decisions, but when we were together, every choice I made, good or bad, smart or stupid, I made because I loved you, and you You know that.

So how could you not know that I would also love our daughter with all my heart? I would be a good and loving father to that little girl, our little girl. Not only would I never place her in danger, I would protect her from danger with every cell of my being. Sarah, how could you not know that?

Susan Banks was being held captive by Edwin P. Crumb, her ex husband. Crumb, currently in Scotland Yard’s custody, claimed in his statement that shortly after the deadly car crash, which supposedly killed his ex wife, he received an unsolicited phone call from a person who then delivered Miss Banks to him.

Crumb denies acting in concert with this individual and claims not to know the individual’s identity. Well, Mr. Crumb, you poor stupid mook, you do speak the truth. Yes, sir. There’s no way you’d know who arranged that little reunion with B. J. DiMera’s mama. And even if Scotland Yard and Ray Fernandez and the Salem Keystone Cops put their collective pinheads together, I’d still never figure it out.

It was yours truly who accomplished that. What the hell did you accomplish, Clyde?

Chad, what’s going on? It’s nothing, I’m sorry. It’s not nothing, clearly. What’s, what, what did I do to make you pull away from me like that? It’s not you, it’s just me. I’m, I’m sorry, that sounds so cliche. Chad, it’s okay. You can tell me. What’s wrong?

It’s Abigail’s birthday today.

Oh, Chad, I’m so sorry. I forgot it was Abigail’s birthday today. That was thoughtless of me. Of course this day would be hard for you. Yeah. It’s, it’s been, um, much harder than I thought it would be. And, and what makes it even tougher is that it was about this time last year that we found out who, uh, took her from us.

That was Clyde Weston and I almost killed him and there is a part of me that still wishes I would have shot that son of a bitch when I had the chance.

Lucas, why don’t you just mosey along? Yeah, I’ll keep it moving. No problem. You’re the last person I want to cross paths with today anyway. Well, why’s that? You got another one of your Alcoholics Anonymous punch parties to host? Actually, it’s my niece Abigail’s birthday today. You remember Abigail, don’t you?

I mean, you must. You’re the one who murdered her in cold blood.

Yeah, my mom was worried, you know, when she got back from London, that they were gonna send her to Statesville or back to Bayview. But, uh, they discharged her. Which is great, but that just means that she had nowhere else to really go. Yeah, and I, I know you want to be there for her. I, I understand that. Yeah, but I can tell by the look on your face you’re not too thrilled about it.

Her staying with Wendy and me, I mean. Well, I, I have to admit that I am concerned. And so is your dad. I mean, why wouldn’t you be, given your history with my mom? But, okay, she really is doing better. I mean… She’s gotten treatment. She’s going to therapy. She seems committed to doing whatever it takes to get her life back on track.

They’re sending an OD patient into the ER. I have to go.

You know, we’ve got feelings that are more than platonic, I, um,

I’m thinking that maybe we should just, uh, Yeah, okay.

Say no more? I mean, it would be better if…

Okay, you’re right. You’re right. Just to put this… on hold. Until we get our lives back on track. Before we, uh, start. Something. Right? Right? Mm. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. We should, uh…

Just… Stay over there. Mm hmm.

Hey, Mr. Galvin, uh, you told the ER nurse that you took some pills. Tell me what exactly what they were just my regular meds, and I’m fine now. I don’t need to be here I’m not hurting anybody my concern is right now that you might be hurting yourself, okay? So we’re just gonna draw a little blood and see what’s going on with you, okay?

You’re not taking any of my blood, but I’m gonna take some of yours

Maybe maybe I should have known that in spite of all of your Screw ups as you call them That you would never actually put your own child in danger. But the truth is, I didn’t.

I shortchanged you and for that I am, I am so truly sorry. But right now, You’re shortchanging me if you’re not even going to at least try to see it from my perspective.

I didn’t, I didn’t want my daughter to grow up with a father that could end up in prison or dead and, and I could, I could never live with myself if something happened to you that affected our child. I had to protect her. Can you understand that? I suppose I can.

It’s just, when we were, the way I felt about you, Sarah, I, I just wanted you to be happy and to give you a good life and I, I can see now I got so desperate to make that happen that I, well I made the kind of terrible choices that, that caused me to lose you. The best thing that had ever happened to me, you know, the love of my life.

I loved you too, Xander.

I did.

Things were good between us. You had my whole heart. And you did make me happy. You… You made me so happy.

Don’t you know that walking away from you was the hardest thing that I have ever done?

Oh my God, what’s going on in here? Ah, I’m okay, it’s okay, it’s okay. A patient got paranoid while I was trying to draw his blood and grabbed his scalpel. Did he run off with it? No, I grabbed it from him, but not before he cut me. The cut’s not too deep though, he just missed the artery. Well, I’m sure the security will catch him.

Here, sit down and let me fix that up. God. Um, like,

um,

I know we’re both kind of disoriented right now. Okay, I’ll speak for myself, okay? Oh, God. Look, I just… I don’t know where my life’s headed right now. You know, here I am, I’m just staying with my grown son on his couch with his girlfriend, and I just… You know, I’ve got no money, and I don’t have any idea what kind of a job I could even get.

You know, the only work experience I have, well, let’s just say the only thing on my resume is, um, Mob Princess, and I’m not really interested in that line of work anymore. Yeah? I don’t know, maybe not knowing exactly who you are, it’s um, could be a clean start. Right? An opportunity to reinvent yourself.

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose. God, I don’t even know. I don’t have an idea as to what to do. All right, let’s, uh, let’s think for a second. Okay. Yeah. So, if you can do anything in the world, anything, what would it be? Hmm. Well, I do love to cook. There you go. And a lot of people love to eat. So, maybe you can find a way to feed people for a living.

Yeah. Maybe I could. Yeah. I’ll think about it. Yeah. What about you? If, um, if you could be anything in this world, what would

you be? So, I mean, I… I just have to wonder, even though I know that I did the very best I could to try to get them through some difficult times, was there, I mean, was there more that I could have done for my now adult children when they were kids to, to make life easier for them now? Kate, we both know by now that all we can do is our best.

And… The way that our children turn out sometimes is just in the hands of the gods. For lack of a better way to say that. But I think we can be optimistic. And we can just hope that they find their way. Yeah, I, yes, of course, I just… I guess I’m just feeling abandoned, you know, with Philip going off to New York, Rex is back in Chicago, Austin’s in Europe, and Lucas…

Oh, Lucas, my precious son, who had, who had so much promise.

Well, listen, Lucas, just for the record… I didn’t intend to kill Abigail Demare. You pathetic psycho. Why does it matter what the hell you intended to do? You went to the mansion with murder in your heart. You wanted, you wanted to murder another innocent woman, didn’t you? But that wasn’t personal. Belle Brady would have just been, you know, collateral damage because EJ made the big mistake of telling her my business and I had to send him a message.

You sick bastard. How do you live with yourself? How, how do you get through one day knowing all the pain and the suffering you caused? My niece is gone. She had her whole life ahead of her. How are you still alive, man? You don’t deserve that. How do you live with yourself?

Clyde Weston is locked up in Statesville where he belongs. And maybe it’s… Cold comfort, but at least you know that he can’t hurt you or anyone you love ever again. If I had killed him, I wouldn’t be here for my kids. Thomas and Charlotte who are my heart.

Chad, so many people love you. Need you.

And I hope you know I’m one of those people.

I’m sorry I pulled away.

It’s okay. You don’t need to apologize for that. Or for anything. Especially not today. I’m gonna, I’m

gonna go to, uh, Abby’s grave for, uh, a little while. Yeah, of course. I’ll come with you. Uh, Uh, I would rather you not.

I just, I just needed, I just needed to be me and the kids today. I hope that’s okay. Of course. I totally get it. I’ll see you later then? Yeah, I’ll see you later.

Well, you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t get all choked up over Chad’s loss. You see, him and his brother EJ? Not such upstanding citizens. It was Chad trying to kill me. And when I tried to return the favor by choking that little sumbitch, EJ put a bullet in me. And here you are, still alive, sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

And what, are you thinking you can change that, Lucas? I’d like to see you try. You don’t have the guts for that kind of thing. As I recall, you had your mind set on killing Orpheus and you wimped out. You just lost your nerve, didn’t you? I didn’t kill Orpheus because I thought that he killed my mother.

Turns out my mom was alive. But Abigail’s not coming back, is she? So I don’t have to show you the same mercy, do I? Do I? Do you think you’re scaring me, you little miss head? You couldn’t kill a stuffed deer with a cannon at five paces! And let me remind you, I got clout in here and on the outside, so I’d be really careful about who I threatened if I were you.

I don’t care what you say, I’m not scared of you. Well, you should be, because I don’t have to hurt you to hurt you, you know what I mean? And I’m guessing you wouldn’t want to be mourning yet another loved one.

Uh, security says the patient is no longer in the vicinity. I guess they didn’t catch him. Damn. Okay, well, you are good to go. Well, thank you. I guess I’ll go back to work. Uh, uh, uh, nice try. No. You know hospital policy. If you are a victim of an assault, you need to either be admitted or go home. I know. I’ve already missed all those days when I was in London.

Well, you’re gonna miss one more. Go home and get some rest. Go on. Go, go, go. Okay. I’m going. I’m going.

Well, you know, like we were talking before, um, I got a room at the Brady Pub, so I gotta figure out how to pay rent.

And I was talking to Kate and she seems pretty convinced that the Salem PD could use somebody with my skill set. Well, do you want to be a cop? I’m a cop, a consultant, I don’t know. I mean, I did go to the police academy before I enlisted. And a lot of people go from the military to law enforcement, but obviously I’m going to have to talk to Commissioner Hernandez to see what he thinks.

Okay, well make sure you don’t use me as a reference because I am not his favorite person. Well, if I get the opportunity to work with the Commissioner, I’ll try not to hold that against him.

If it’s any consolation, the moment that Bonnie and my mom found out that I was pregnant, they thought that I should tell you the baby was yours. In fact, my mom was very upset with me for keeping it from you. She has always been on your side. She’s always reminding me that whatever choices You did make.

You did love me. Maggie has a heart of gold. Yeah. Yeah, she does. And,

just so you know, Rex had nothing to do with the decision that I made. That was all me. I chose to keep you.

But now…

With Susan being alive, and seeing how affected you are by that.

I think that I’ve, I think that I’ve made it clear that that changes things for me.

Victoria is your daughter. You were there for her, and for me, the moment that she was born. Xander,

you were her father. And I want you to be a part of her life.

Hello? Yes, I’ll accept the call. Lucas, is everything alright? Yeah, Chad, everything’s okay. Um, I just, I know it’s Abigail’s birthday today, so I was just calling to check up on you, see how you’re doing. That’s nice of you, Lucas. Um, I appreciate that you remembered. Of course I did. You know, I wish I could be there with you and the kids today.

But, um, I just hope you’re around people who love you. You know? I mean, you do have a lot of people who love you. You know that, right, Chad? Yeah. No, yeah. Yeah, I do.

Hey, Mom. Hey! Oh my gosh, I’m so glad to see you. Bad time? No, no. Actually, I have a few minutes. Um, what’s with all the security downstairs? Crazy, I know. There was an incident with a patient. Actually, he assaulted Tripp. What? Oh my god! Is he okay? He is fine. It was just a minor cut, but still. I had to send him home.

He didn’t want to go, but it’s hospital policy. So, so, what about you? What are you doing here? Um… I, uh, well, I was hoping to take my mom to lunch. Oh, well, I would love that so much, but I can’t. I can’t take that long a break. We are swamped, and I’m already down one doctor. Oh, well. I guess today’s one of those days I’m gonna just keep hearing no.

What do you mean?

Today is Abigail’s birthday.

Um. I offered to go with Chad to visit her grave. But he told me he didn’t want me there.

Listen, Chad, I know you probably don’t want to hear this right now, but um, I ran into Clyde Weston before I called you, and it gave me a chance to tell him what a waste of a life I think he is. Okay, listen, Lucas,

I’m gonna say what Abigail would tell you if she were here. You need to get out of that place in one piece. Okay, so, so that Thomas and Charlotte could spend some more time with their Uncle Lucas. So, I, I, I need you to steer clear of Clyde Weston. Do you understand? He’s the one who should steer clear of me.

No, Lucas. Don’t do anything stupid. Listen man, I gotta go. My time’s up. You take care of yourself, okay Chad? You too.

So, um,

Yeah? Maybe, um, maybe once I get a job I can, I can take you to dinner? Oh, I’d like that. Mm. And I know that we, uh, Decided to hold off on anything but friendship for now, but I don’t think a hug would be crossing any boundaries. Do you? No. Hey, you

guys. Oh. What’s going on? Tripp, hey. I thought you were, you were gonna be at work. I was, but I, uh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’d still be here. Yeah, no, I was just, uh, just leaving. Yeah, um. Take care, Harris. Yeah, you too.

So, what did I miss?

Sarah, I’m just, I’m so happy we were able to, to work this out. I just, I mean, happy isn’t, doesn’t even describe how I feel right now. You know what, Wyatt?

Why don’t I go get our little girl and introduce her to her daddy?

I’m sorry. Oh, this is Justin. I have to take this. He’s representing me, so just give me a few minutes. I’m going to tell him that I’ve decided to share custody with you, and then we can figure out where we go from here. Hey, Justin. No, I’m, I’m so glad that you called. I, I wanted to talk to you. I think I’m going to change my mind.

Wait, what?

Uh huh. No, I understand. Mm hmm. Thank you.

Justin just told me that you filed for full custody. And that Sloane Peterson is going to make the case on your behalf that I am an unfit parent.

Sarah, listen to me. I was, I was very angry when I made that decision. To be fair, you were keeping Victoria from me. I couldn’t bear it. I thought you were being unreasonable. Oh, you thought that I was being unreasonable. Well, if you thought I was unreasonable before, you just wait till I get you into court.

We don’t have to go to court. We just agreed that we can share custody. We can work this out. The hell we can! We agreed to share custody before I had all of the information and you were going to try to take my daughter away from me. Well, if you want a fight, Xander, now you have a fight. Sarah, No, I have heard enough.

My God, I thought that you had changed. Sarah! No! If you have something to say, say it to your lawyer who can tell mine. Now get the hell out of here. I don’t want to see your face until I have to see it in court.

So?

See, this is exactly what I was worried about when Chad and I first started dating. That no one would ever be able to take Abigail’s place in his life. Sweetie, you know what I think? I think this is a very sad day for Chad. He was traumatized by Abigail’s death. I

think you need to be patient.

I know he loves you. I believe that.

But what I don’t believe, is that he’ll ever love me as much as he loved her. Abigail was the love of his life.

Happy birthday, my love.

You’re still the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.

I know it’s been a while since you’ve been gone,

but I still miss you. I’ve ruined it. Of the day.

Um, I’m sorry. Tripp, where are my manners? I know I’m your mother, but I really, I should check with you before I have a friend stay over so long. A friend? Really? Heh. I bet you’re staying here at Good Power Salem for a month. Okay. All right. All right. I will admit, there is an attraction. And full disclosure, Harris and I might have dinner soon.

What? What? What, what, what is that look? It’s dinner, okay? What is it?

What just a patient, an addict came in, strung it on God knows what and I tried to help him and just got a little violent. Oh my God. It’s, it’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine. Alright, alright, the cut isn’t too deep and I’m, I’m taking some antibiotics just to be sure. Good. Hope they caught the guy. Not yet.

I’m gonna go change. Just give me two seconds. I’ll be back. Hello?

Uh, Ava. Ava Vitale?

Yes. So nice to hear your voice. Uh, listen, a little birdie told me that your baby boy had an accident at work today. But, I think you should know It wasn’t no accident. What? Who is this? Well, uh, you’ll find out soon enough. Because you and me, we got a lot to talk about, Mama.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, thanks for the update, Melinda. Okay. Talk soon. Anything new? Oh, Melinda’s just saying there’s always red tape when it comes to private adoption and that shouldn’t be a problem. Blah, blah. Okay. Oh, she also said that she can help speed up the process once we have our marriage license. Which is in the works, right?

Well, before you know it, we’re gonna be an old married couple with a kid. Aww. Listen, I’m gonna run down to the pub, grab a coffee, you want me to bring anything back for you? No, I’m good, thanks. I’ll just have a yogurt. Okay. I’ll get it. What the hell are you doing here?

Well, good morning. How nice of you to invite me over for breakfast. I didn’t invite you over for a cozy little chat over croissants. Oh, we’re in a mood. You’re damn right we’re in a mood. What the hell were you thinking going behind my back and telling Sarah that she needs to set me free? I was going behind your back to tell Sarah to set you free.

Well, you’ll be happy to know she took your advice. And she asked me for a divorce. Ah! Ah! Max. Oh my God, you know, this is the best news I’ve had in ages.

She’s already asleep? Oh, Mom, you have the magic touch. I I was up half the night with her. I know, I know, my little girl has her days and nights all turned around. Problem is, is that I’m on the same schedule as the rest of the world. But… From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving me a few minutes of me time.

No. I love you too, mama. Alright, bye.

Hi, can I help

you?

Oh! Ain’t you so sweet, are

you? Susan?

Yeah, it’s me. Lovely, I’m just enjoying this really beautiful morning. Would you like a lollipop? Like sand through

the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Hello? Hey, good morning. Harris, I didn’t recognize your number. Yeah, uh, no burners for me. I got a new phone. I’m going back to being a semi respectable citizen. Me too. So, how was your first night as an official non, uh, Bayview resident? Oh, well, um, clean sheets, uh, a knife that actually cuts, and… Time with my son, Heaven.

Glad to hear it. Oh, and I’m glad to hear that you found a place at the pub. Yeah, now I just gotta find a way to pay for rent. You know, I haven’t seen many help wanted signs for a washed up CEO whose most recent job was mercenary slash hitman. Don’t say that about yourself. You literally saved my life at Bayview.

You saved Tripp’s life in London, and you helped bring Susan Banks home. You know what I’d call you, Harris? A hero.

Lollipop? Sarah! Did you? This, uh, this is incredible. Oh, did they have the bear claws? Yes, they did. Oh my God, I haven’t shown any of these sweet fit bear claws for some, I don’t know. Is it really you? Would you like to see my ID? You know, all you need to say is, Hello, welcome back. I’m so sorry. I’m so sleep deprived.

I genuinely thought I was hallucinating. Oh my god. You’re alive. Yeah, I thought that we established that. What happened? When did you get back? Oh, sweetheart, it’s been all over the news. Where I have a newborn. I’m so sleep deprived I A baby! You got a baby! That is so wonderful! You’re alive!

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I I, I need to go sit down. Okay. Sarah, are you, are you alright? Do you need a hand? Hey. Oh. I

just realized that I’ve… I’ve been so angry at Xander, blaming him for your mother’s death, and, and now he… Now? Now you’re not angry anymore, right?

Like I said, what the hell are you doing here? I have a meeting with my lawyer. Sun’s not your lawyer. She would have told me. Please tell me you’re not his lawyer. As a matter of fact, I am. So what’d you do this time? Why don’t you jump into conclusions? Not only did I do nothing wrong, I happened to be the injured party.

Often the case. Oh, Kay, come here. Aren’t you gonna go grab some coffee? You should have told me.

Yeah, I should have. I’ll leave the two of you to your meeting. See you soon.

Well, he seemed a wee bit ticked off, didn’t he? You know what? You’re going to stop talking about Eric. And now I want you to tell me why you think I can help you win full custody of your daughter.

Nope. Mom, damn it. It’s not the best news because I don’t want a divorce from Sarah and I don’t want to turn my back on my daughter. You mean Xander’s? No, I mean my daughter. And I don’t appreciate you going behind my back and telling my wife that she’s leading me on and ruining my life. I’m defending you.

I don’t need defending. It was my idea to step up and help her raise Victoria. Yes, so Xander wouldn’t find out that Victoria was his baby, but now he knows. It doesn’t make a difference. Of course it makes a difference. Are you kidding? This is Xander Cook’s child. Okay. Do you think he’s just gonna step aside and let you be father to the baby?

It’s not his call. Well, there’s more than that. Sarah, despite her saintly demeanor, has it bad. And I mean really, really bad for that bad boy. And I think you deserve a hell of a lot more than a wife who is hot for the gardener. Stop. That’s enough. Okay! Look, do you think that I want to say these things to you?

Because I don’t. I just hate seeing you hurt like this. And the longer this, this, this charade goes on, the worse and more painful it’s going to be in the end for you. And that’s what I care about. I care about you.

So Sarah is giving you an out. Take it. Agree to the divorce. Let her go.

Well, that’s uh, very nice of you to say, but I don’t think most people would agree. Okay, well you are a hero to me.

My son’s here, I gotta go. Okay, I’ll see you around. Okay. Hey, good morning sunshine. Okay, what can I make you for breakfast? I’ve got bagels, croissants, I can make you eggs anyway. Honestly, I usually just grab a protein shake on the run. Okay, well that’s what you usually do, but this morning is special. Come on, let me take care of you.

Let me thank you for, uh, for everything you did for me. You don’t have to thank me. Hey, you’re my mom. I don’t have to thank you? Mm mm. Tripp, if you and Wendy hadn’t helped me and Harris get out of the country, I would be dead right now. It’s a little bit more than a card on Mother’s Day, you know? Oh, you know, I, I also want to make, uh, breakfast for Wendy, too.

That’s very sweet, but no, she was actually up and out early this morning. She had a job interview. Oh, right, right, right. Well, I hope she gets that job. She probably will. She has a really great resume, and she’s really, really smart. Crazy capable, so. Mm hmm. So, uh, just how serious are things with you two?

Very serious. Oh. Yeah? I’m in love with her. Yeah? Yeah. I’m so happy for you. How about you? What do you mean? Well, how serious is it between you and this Harris Michaels?

Eric? Eric Brady, right? Yeah. Uh, Harris Michaels. I’m sure you, uh, heard about me and none of it’s been good. How do you know who I am? Well, actually your dad rented me your room, upstairs, and I found these pictures in the desk drawer and I brought them down so you can give them back to you.

What’s that? Is that your, uh, is that your daughter? Uh, no. Actually, it’s my brother Brady’s daughter, Rachel. I, uh, I set these aside. I must have left them behind.

Of course, Sarah’s still angry. It’s just great that you’re alive, Mother, but that doesn’t change the fact that Xander Cook kidnapped you and you lost almost a year of your life as a direct result. But… Uh, uh, uh, there is no but. Oh, but, you know what? Sarah thinks Terry’s won, right? Right, Sarah? Yeah. There is.

He’s not a murderer. Not this time. Terrific! With your CV, you, you need to self pedal your judgment. Susan, I, I am so thrilled that you’re alive. I… I need to get back to my baby, so I, I, I will tell my mom the good news. Oh. Yeah.

She found out that Xander hadn’t killed me. Really, really hard.

You know, the first time you talked to me, you said you wanted parental rights. And now you want full custody? Yeah, that’s right. Uh huh. You know, Eric’s not the only one who remembers what you’ve done. And Sarah, she’s, she’s a loving mother. A doctor. A real pillar of our community. Yeah, and my big sin is that I kidnapped Susan Banks and she ended up dead, but now we all know that Susan is alive and well and just as annoying as ever.

So Sarah can’t exactly call me a murderer in open court, can she? And I realize that, and maybe that helps whenever it comes to parental rights, but Xander, I mean, you still kidnapped her. But more than that, the baby was just born. I mean, do you know how extreme that’s going to be to take her from Sarah now?

Well, not if she’s an unfit mother. Unfit. Sarah lied to me. She told me flat out that I’m not Victoria’s father. She put another man’s name on the birth certificate and married him to keep me away from my kid. And it’s not the first time. She did the exact same thing to your boyfriend, Eric Brady. You’re my God’s son.

Who would keep a child from knowing their own father? I’ll tell you who. A monster.

There’s nothing between me and Harris. Well, except friendship. Well, I heard you call him your hero. Well, he is one. He saved my life. And yours. Tripp, I know that you don’t really like him, but No, look, we’ve come a long way since the exploding pizza box in Seattle. And I know he didn’t just help you. He risked his own life to save yours.

And mine. And I’m, I’m very grateful for that. But But, but what the two of you met at Bayview when you escaped that place together, you went to London, dodging bullets. It’s all very. Intense. Yeah. And we got through it together. We bonded. Sure wasn’t more than that.

Yeah, it was my, my fault. I assumed that it was your, your daughter. No, it’s all good. It’s understandable. You have kids? Uh, not that I know of.

You have been a little bit of a, a blur. Hmm. And if, you know, if you’re worried about me staying here. Just so you know, I’ve been in treatment with your mom, and she’s, she’s been a big help. She swears that I’m no longer a threat, you know, a menace to society. Well, my mom is seldom wrong about those things.

And my dad, well, he’s an ex cop, so I’m really not worried about him. Yeah, no, I know. I grew up in Salem. Really? Yeah. I know people think it’s kind of strange that I’m sticking around after everything that went down, but… You know, it’s really the only place I’ve ever been able to call home. And now I’m…

Kind of starting over trying to figure out who I am and who I want to be

Yeah, I know Eric did mention something about that to me he was just very big How exactly did Sarah keep him from his daughter the same as with me? She told him some other guy was the father Well, who did she say was the father? That’s not important, but you’re gonna marry the guy You know how much he wants kids you can imagine what that did to him Yes, I can.

Well, my point is, this woman has a history of lying to keep men away from their own children. And you think that makes her an unfit mother? Well, don’t you? Well, it doesn’t really matter what I think. But I do have to admit, I think this gives us a good play in court. Especially if we draw a male judge. I don’t want to leave anything to chance.

I want you to go for the jugular, that’s why I hired you. You really hit this woman with guts. Yes.

Yes, I do. It’s not a question of me letting her go, is it? It’s exactly what it is, okay? Sarah married you, the fool Xander. You married Sarah for love. She no longer has any use for you, so she’s moving on. My fear is that you’re going to spend the rest of your life pining after that sanctimonious… Okay, okay, stop, stop, stop.

Mom, you’re not helping. Okay?

If you could just tell me that you see and you accept the fact that she is never going to feel for you, would you feel for her? Mom, it’s…

Ah, hello, Sarah. We were just talking about you. Hello, Kate. So, Rex told me that you want a divorce. Sad. Cause I know exactly how hard you tried to save this marriage. It is sad. Well, when an inconvenient marriage is no longer convenient, what do you do, right? Mom, do you need to leave? Sarah and I need to talk, please.

It’s fine. It’s fine. But right before I do, I’d like to say something. Could you leave him the hell alone? Oh, I… Oh, no. I’ll go. I’ll go. Um, a little love? Okay, I’m just gonna see myself out.

Sorry about that. No.

She has a point, Rex.

I asked so much from you and gave nothing back. Sarah, we have been over this so many times. No, I know, I know.

You’ll never guess who I saw in the square. Susan Banks.

Seems like I’m the last person in Salem to know that she’s back and… Not dead.

I did see the news. I was going to tell you. What was your reaction to that?

Well, um, I realized that that leaves Xander more of a leg to stand on in court. Obviously. So is that a change of mind? About the divorce?

No.

I do, um,

I think your mom is right. I think it’s time for all of us to move on.

You could see Sarah’s eyes light up when she realized that Xander was innocent. Xander Cook is not innocent. As you were one of his victims, you should know that more than anyone. You need to stop getting yourself all worked up. We agreed that you were going to leave Ava Vitale and Xander Cook alone.

Mother, I know, I know you have a big heart, but those two are not stray kittens. They are dangerous people who have done terrible things. Oh, just like you have. And I can’t. You know what? I won’t forget that Xander felt very badly about kidnapping Manny. He treated him real nice. Oh, well that makes all the difference then.

I mean, it’s not really kidnapping when they’re nice about it, right? I, you know, I do not like it when you get sarcastic like that with me. It just, it gets me suspicious. Suspicious? Yes, about what you’re thinking. Mm hmm. And now, right now, darling, you are gonna swear to your mama, on your mama’s life, that you will never harm…

A single hair on their heads. I wouldn’t dream

of it. You’re not the only one who’s trying to figure things out. Yeah, starting from scratch. It was actually nice of your dad, you know, to give me that room without a security deposit, but I do have to find a job. You know, actually my dad said the other day he was looking to hire some help. Yes, and it turns out he hired a 16 year old kid.

Uh, I think grandson, is that, is that it? No, no, no, he’s actually his great nephew. Great, yeah, wow. Well, I’m never gonna get the, uh, Brady family tree. That makes two of us. Good morning, Eric Harris. Hey, did you sleep well? Um, I did, thank you. Are you as happy as I am that they arrested Dmitri von Leusner? And what about Vivian, shooting him in the back?

Too bad the cops didn’t put her in jail before she skipped town. Well, considering they have Ray Fernandez there, that’s never gonna happen. Hey, you should go out. You should go there, down to the station and apply for a job. Police station? Yeah, why not? Uh, because I was just in a mental institution? Yeah, well that’s just a blip.

I mean, you’re looking for a job, they’re looking for serious help, so… Hey, I could give you a recommendation. Tell them how you saved me from that disgusting fishing boat. Yeah, but I just left the country on forged documents also. So, it’s… Yeah, but you also saved Susan Banks, and Rafe didn’t even know she was still alive.

I’m telling you, unlike the incompetent folks at that police station, you actually get things done. Okay, well, Rafe, Ava and I did have some help from Susan.

You better be telling me the truth, Elvish, because I’m not going to be here to keep an eye on you. What are you talking about? Why won’t you be here?

Well, can’t you the divorce, I’m just going to go back to Chicago. You can send the divorce papers there. Yeah. I accept. I’m really sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about. This is my idea, the whole thing. And I don’t want to drag it out. It’s not good for you, me, or Victoria.

I just hope… What?

Maybe it’s not my place to say, but… I just hope you’re not going to get taken in by Xander.

Again.

So, do you think if I do sue for full custody that I can win?

I’m going to be honest with you. This is going to be an uphill battle. I mean, Sarah is the child’s mother. She’s a practicing physician. She doesn’t have a criminal record. I mean, look, if you cannot see yourself co parenting No, no, I as long as she stays married to that idiot Rex Brady. I mean, my God! What kind of woman can lie to a man that she says she cares about like that?

I mean, as far as I’m concerned, a woman like that doesn’t deserve a second chance.

Yeah, so do you have any big plans for today while I’m at work? Oh, I don’t know. You know, this is the first time I’ve had a day to myself since, uh, I don’t even know when. You know, I certainly didn’t have even two seconds to myself in Bayview or London. Yeah, I know you and Harris shared a room in London.

He slept on the chair. That is not in my business. Okay, Drew, will you please stop worrying? Okay. Harris voluntarily committed himself to Bayview. He’s determined to leave his past behind him, okay? He is really a different person now. I hear you. But, you did become pretty dependent on him at Bayview. Yeah, and you know what I’m like.

But, after these last few months, I would like to believe that I’m finally a different person too.

Hey, listen, um, I gotta get going, but like I said, if there’s anything I can do, you know, like introduce you around town, whatever, just let me know. Thank you, I might take you up on that. Nice to meet you. You too. Thanks.

Mall security guard, huh? Yeah, well, what’s, uh, what’s wrong with that? Well, there’s nothing wrong with it. I just think it’s probably something else that you’re better suited for, that’s all. I mean, seriously, you should go down to the station. I can put a good word in for you with your new neighbor, Jada Hunter.

Have you met her yet? It’s stressful. She’s the only confident detective on the whole force. Yeah, I don’t know. I mean… Hmm. I’ll think about it. But thank you. And, uh, I gotta go.

So, this is goodbye. Not forever. No, not forever.

I’m gonna go pack. Say bye to Victoria. Thank you for being the best, best friend in the world.

Oh. You be happy.

You too.

Mother, you can’t leave. I just got you back. Oh, but have you forgotten I have a husband waiting for me in Memphis? I certainly try to. Oh,

look at that. Going Edmund P. Crumb on me, huh? Oh, did you just compare me to Edmund Crumb? Oh, besides being tall and British, you and chain you to a bloody wall, am I? Well… Out of fairness, um, he didn’t do the kidnapping himself. So he claims. Assuming he is telling the truth, who handed you to him?

I want to see my daughter. Rex is upstairs with her right now. Can you just have the decency to give him time to say goodbye? Goodbye?

I told Rex that I want a divorce, and he agreed. So, he’s going back to Chicago. Why?

Because of you.

Okay, I’m off. Let me know if you need anything. Okay, don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. Okay. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Um, do you want a matcha chiana or a sabuco for dinner tonight? Surprise me

Hey, Tripp is your mom here? Harris, we were just talking about you. Oh, yeah. Yeah Yeah, I was just saying that how grateful I was to you for saving my mom’s life Uh, and mine, but,

but what? Uh, she’s been through hell more than once. Hello? I’m in the room. Yeah, no, go ahead. She just doesn’t need to be dealing with anybody else’s baggage, you know? Okay, didn’t you say you had to get to work? I’m just saying. Okay, have a good one. Go save people, all right? See you later, Mom. Sorry about that, Harris.

Oh, it’s, uh, it’s okay, I get it. Your son just being, uh, protective. Yeah, yeah, and, uh, he knows that I’ve been known to, uh… To… To what? Um… To get obsessive about a guy and then get real stupid. Hmm. Well, I think we might have, have that in common. Yeah? Yeah, I was a little obsessed over Hope, and I thought it was a fine idea not to tell her her husband was alive.

By the time I had a change of heart, it was too late. I can’t really blame that one on being brainwashed. Right. Well, I guess we both know what it’s like to want something so much that, um, you’ll do anything So hold on

to it.

Harris texted me to say that he was happy here at the pub and everybody had been welcoming and kind. Those are his words. Oh Wow, I’m very glad that he’s feeling comfortable. As a matter of fact, you just misdemeanors left. Oh, I wasn’t really looking for him, I wanted to talk with you. I want to see how you’re doing with Philip, leaving town, moving to New York.

Well, the only thing I can actually feel is dread since he’s leaving for New York with Chloe. But, um… I am accepting that it’s his decision, and there is nothing I can do about it. Hey, Mom. Hi, Marlena. Hi, Rex. Hey, what’s this? Don’t tell me you’re leaving town. I am, yes. I’m going back to Chicago. Oh, Rex, no!

Why? Honey, just because you’re leaving Sarah doesn’t mean you have to leave Salem. I mean, Marlena and I were just talking about this. Rex, come on, this is… This is kind of hard on me, you know? I mean, just finding out that Philip is leaving for New York with Chloe, I mean… You mean, Philip is going to New York to live his own life?

The nerve of that guy! Okay. Very funny. Nice. Coming here to break my heart. And you’re snippy, too. Hey.

I love you. And I know my leaving is making you upset. But smile, because Sarah and I are getting a divorce, and that’s exactly what you wanted.

Facts. I

brought you a skull. It’s a peace offering. I know I need to respect your professional judgment. It’s just that Xander, he pushes all kinds of buttons in me. No, Eric, I get that. I get that, obviously. But, um, he told me something that I didn’t know. That Sarah Horton kept you from your child?

Yeah. It’s just not a part of my life I’d like to revisit. But

I mean, you guys can get along now, like you’re all friends, right? Yeah, yeah, of course. It’s… Listen, I understand why she did what she did. But the pain of what happened was all because of the result of a lie. And looking back on it, it’s not easy to forget the pain that she not only caused me, but everyone.

You asked Rex for a divorce because of me?

I… Realize that you were going to make my life a living hell as long as he was with me, sir. Well, I wasn’t expecting to come face to face with Susan Banks. Alive. You saw her? Just now. It must be such a huge weight off of your shoulders to know that you’re not a killer after all. Yeah. I’m so glad she made it.

Spent so many sleepless nights racked with guilt over what happened to her, but I’m sure that’s a shock to you, since you think I have no conscience, I’m a horrible person. I don’t think that, Xander. I never thought that. It’s just…

with everything that happened, or what I thought happened, I was just… Scared to let you back into my life.

But now,

here you are. Here I am.

I sat at that cliffside all night long after your crash. And I don’t remember seeing anything or anyone. Hmm. Well, that is a shame. Because it doesn’t help solve the mystery of what mean, mean, meanie dragged me to the home of that screwball crumb. No, don’t… Well, Elvis, sweetheart, you’ve been running yourself ragged, thinking that your mama was gone all those months, and I just…

Sweetheart, I don’t want you to drive yourself crazy anymore. I don’t want you to do that. How could I not? Mother, someone forced you into captivity and I want to know who the hell it was and why in God’s name they would put you

through that.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey. Hey, Alex. What are you doing here? Can’t a father stop by to see his son?

Excuse me. May I help you? I apologize for showing up unannounced. Your valet Henderson told me I would find you in here. I’m sorry, but who are you? My name is Constantine Miliones. I was a close, personal friend of your late husband. You and Victor were friends? Lifelong friends. I’m here to offer my sincere apologies to you for the loss of such a great man.

I can only imagine how hard this must feel for you and your family.

Yeah, Teresa Tate is fine. He is settling in the guest room. Yeah, no, no, listen, I’ll tell him that you said goodnight. Yeah, no, I will. I gotta go. Okay, I’ll talk to you later.

Chloe, hey. Hi, uh, can I come in? Yeah, yeah, sure, of course. So, what’s up? I came to say goodbye. I’m leaving Salem.

You’re leaving town with Chloe? I know this must seem sudden. Well, yeah, you could say that. You just got back. Are you and Chloe back together? Just friends. Friends leaving town together. Not… Together, together, just, uh, you know, at the same time. To the same city. I will admit, I still have feelings for Chloe.

Does she still have feelings for you? She does. But, she just ended things with Xander, and… I don’t want to get ahead of myself. Oh, so going to New York is… Is about each of us getting a fresh start. Hmm. And hey, New York’s not that far away. We’ll be back! You and Sean can visit whenever you want. Well, that’s not gonna happen.

Why not? What do you mean? Well, I guess I don’t know where things stand with Sean and me. You see, he… Cheated on me.

I really appreciate you arranging this on such short notice. I um, I need to get my life back on track. Especially after all the mistakes that I’ve made.

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

So, are you moving to New York because of what happened with Xander? Yes, and no, but it was definitely a part of the decision making. But mostly I just. I feel like I need to hit the reset button and be close to Parker. Yeah, well he’s gonna be psyched to have his mom in the same zip code, that’s for sure.

Not as psyched as his mom will be. You know, Theresa and I, we don’t, uh, we don’t agree on much, but we do agree that it is nice to have Tate with us. Oh yeah, how’s that going? He’s a teenager, you know, so, we’re working through it. It’s fine. Well, that’s good. It’ll be good for him to be around you. Yeah, I, um, I’m hoping.

When do you leave? Tomorrow morning. Oh. Uh, with Phillip. What?

Yeah, Phillip is moving to New York as well.

Uh, so. Sean’s been cheating on you with his partner’s sister. Well, he said it only happened once. Just like a, I don’t know, a drunken one night thing. But, I mean, I believe him. He doesn’t really have a reason to lie to me at this point. So, are you guys trying to work things out? Uh, actually, we’re not. No point.

No point. I don’t think that there’s anything that we could do to get this back on track. I think my marriage may be over. Uh, Talia, are you, uh, you looking for your sister? No, um, actually, I came to see you. I figured we should probably talk, seeing that now your wife knows about us. Yeah, you, uh, you heard about that.

Yeah. So where do you guys stand? You think she’d be able to forgive you? I don’t know. Belle’s This might be her breaking point.

How you doing? Nice and chilled. Yep. I,

um, just want to state the obvious. You are still my son. In every way that counts. And nothing will change that. I hope you feel that way too.

I do. Of course I do. I’m sorry if I didn’t react well when I first found out the truth.

But now that I’ve had some time to process it, I need you to know that I love you. Very much. I’m grateful for you. I’m grateful for my brothers. I’m very relieved to hear you say that. Come here. I love you, Alex. I love you, too. I love you, too. Now, um, What about Maggie? What about it? Well, I heard you took her spot as CEO of Titan.

Yeah, I did. I’m Victor’s heir. Uh huh. So, does that mean you’ll be staking your claim to the family home next?

Thank you.

You have a lovely home, Mrs. Kiriakis. Thank you. It feels kind of empty, though, without my husband. Victor spoke of you often. I know how much he loved and he cherished you. Thank you for saying that. Mr. Melionis. Oh, please, Chris. Constantine. Constantine. Yes. But surely, you didn’t come all this way just to…

Share condolences. A letter or phone call felt too impersonal. Besides, I have something for you.

Sean, I’m so sorry that you have to go through this. Maybe after your wife is done with the shock and the anger, you guys can move past this. Nah, it’s, it’s a lot more complicated than that. God, I just hate the thought that I’m the one responsible for breaking up your marriage. No, listen, my marriage was on rocky ground before you even entered the picture.

And so, if this is the end, the blame falls directly

on me. Some people would say I had this coming. Who the hell would say that? Jan Spears. Jan Spears is a jealous psychopath. Okay, then. My sister, Sammy. Oh, come on. Sammy would not want your marriage to fall apart. Oh, right. After I slept with EJ, she warned me that karma was going to bite me in the ass one day.

You know what? Who cares what Sammy or Jan thinks? Even if they’re right? I mean, come on, Philip. I cheated on Sean with EJ DiMera. Hell, I cheated on him with you. You and Sean weren’t married when we were together. We were engaged. We were basically kids then. And didn’t you tell me that you and Sean were separated when you slept with EJ?

We were on a break. That’s the defense you think I should use? And, and what about the guy in Maine? Belle, I know Sean. I promise you he hasn’t been sitting around waiting to even the score. Look, I can see that you’re hurt and angry. Why wouldn’t you be? But you can’t give up on your marriage. Sean’s in a dark place, but you can help him.

Go talk to him, Val. Right now.

Okay. Okay, I will, but only because you’re so insistent. I am! Because I know you two are meant to be together. Well, am I gonna see you again before you leave for New York? Probably not. What’s been really nice, having you back after all this time. And I am so proud of you for getting our life back together.

Sean can do it too. Now, go tell that jerk you still love him.

So, you’re giving Phillip another chance, huh? No, we are not. Moving to New York, both of us at the same time, but like I said, we are not a couple. Yeah, yeah, but there’s a chance that you two might end up getting together, right? Could happen. I mean, sure, yeah, it could. You know, he still loves me, and I still have unresolved feelings for him.

And I would understand why you’d think it’d be crazy for me to even consider that, considering everything that he put us through. But at the end of the day, I hope that you trust me to make the right choices.

All I’ve ever wanted is for you to be happy. That’s it. I shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, you two were high school sweethearts, and you… You never really get over your first love. I don’t think that’s true. I do. Because you were my first love. And I don’t think I’m ever gonna really get over you.

What is that warning about Greeks wearing gifts? I assure you, this is no Trojan horse. Please, open it. Thank you. My goodness. A photo album? It belonged to my parents. Oh. It’s beautiful.

Oh, these pictures. Oh, is that Victor? It most certainly is. Oh. I’ve never seen a photo of him at this age. He was so young and handsome. There are many pictures of him in there. Our families were very close. Hmm. He had such style. Well, and that twinkle in his eye. I wanna thank you for letting me see this. I appreciate it.

It is yours to keep. I hope it brings you comfort for days and years to come. It’s such a special gift. I, how can I ever repay you? Do you know Victor loaned me money when I started my restaurant? I didn’t know that. And when I tried to repay him, he wouldn’t accept a penny. He wouldn’t even take the free meals I offered when he visited.

So, let’s consider it even. Besides, I would consider your smile payment enough.

You’re making it sound like I just kicked Auntie Maggie to the curb. Well, didn’t you? No. I offered for her to stay on and come work for me. Huh. How gracious of you. More gracious than Maggie was when she fired my ass. Oh, so who can blame you for, you know, wanting a little payback, right? No, no, no, no, that’s not what’s going on here.

Then what is it? Like I said, I’m Victor’s heir. I know this business. I belong at the top of his company. Yes, Maggie was his wife, and despite our differences, I know she and Victor loved each other very much. And I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her.

So you were sincere when you offered her a job. Of course. And as far as the mansion goes, Victor left half of it to me. He left the other half to Maggie. So even if I wanted to give her the boot, I couldn’t do it. And I don’t, I don’t want to. You believe me, right?

Yeah, I do. I believe you. Alright, thank you. And I, I’m sorry if I was, uh, you know, so accusatory. I didn’t really know how it all went down, Alex. Hey, I get it. I get why you’d be worried. But, I’m telling you, it’s not like I just found out that Victor is my bio dad, and now I’m suddenly swimming in this pool of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck.

Now there’s an image. I’m still me, alright?

I’m just trying to come to terms with this, new reality, like everybody else.

Seriously, Mom? You really gonna pretend you don’t see me sitting here? What I would really like to get ensnared in Chloe’s web again.

I really want you to know that I’m sorry for, uh, everything. You have nothing to apologize for. Um, are you forgetting that all the hell that Kristen and Rachel put you through? Come on. No, I haven’t forgotten that, but Brady, you tried your best in an impossible situation. Yeah, but my best wasn’t good enough, because here we are again, saying goodbye.

Listen. I want you to know that I don’t regret a single moment of our time together. Really? Come on, not a single, I mean, what about the times that Kristen threatened you? I mean, multiple times, right? Okay, maybe a moment or two, but seriously, sitting here with you as a friend, I’m so grateful for all of it.

And you will always be here, in my heart. Always. And you will be fine.

Listen, Sean, we both made bad decisions that night. I mean, you were hurt about your grandfather and your dad, and I was hurt about the breakup with Chanel. You add alcohol to that and stir it up, and… Yeah, it’s a perfect recipe for disaster. Exactly. So, Sean… How about you give yourself the same grace that you’re giving me?

You’re a great guy, okay? And everybody knows that except for you.

I hope I’m not interrupting.

Belle. I need to speak to my husband, do you mind? Yeah, no, no, of course. I was just leaving anyways. Bye, Sean.

Tell her she came here to apologize. I’m not here to talk about

Talia. Okay. What is it you want to talk about? You and me. I am hurt and I hate what you did. But I would like to try to forgive you. And get this behind us so that we can try and save our marriage.

Look, okay, um, I’d better get going if I’m gonna be ready to leave tomorrow. I have so much packing to do. I’m

gonna miss you. I’m really gonna miss you too.

Hey, you fill up my vest, will ya? Really? You mean that? Yeah, really. No, no, of course. No, I do. Listen. I want you to have the best life. Whatever that means. And if you can find it in your giant heart to forgive Phillip, then maybe I’m not ready too, but he must be on the right track.

Chloe is the reason that you were in a mental hospital halfway across the world. Chloe didn’t do anything wrong. Oh my God. Well, no, because she never does. But the people who get involved with her, their lives end up in ruins. That’s not true.

Phillip. You did terrible things. She made you crazy. Literally. And I’m better now. Okay. So why risk relapse by running off to New York with her? You’re, you’re barely back on your feet. And I know Chloe. I know her. She will drag you down again. Look, I know it’s easy to blame Chloe for how things ended up last time.

But she didn’t make me do all those unspeakable things to her and Brady. And we’re not running off to New York together. Okay, so what do you call it? Two friends, with history, getting a fresh start. History. Okay, so is that what they call toxic baggage these days? Because that’s what you share. And if you value yourself at all, you will call off this trip before it’s too late.

I,

I hope I didn’t make you sad. No, no. This was, this beautiful. Seeing Victor so young, I, I felt like I was, I was getting to know a whole new side of my husband. I’m glad I could provide you with a small glimpse into his past. Yeah. But you can’t say that man didn’t have a lust for life. Oh, he embraced life like no man I’ve ever known before or since.

I really should be going. You aren’t heading straight back to Greece, I hope. Oh, no. This old body cannot handle jet lag the way it used to. So then, you’re staying in Salem? For a while, at least. Victor told me so much about this strange and special place. I’m excited to explore it. Where are you staying? I was hoping you could help with that.

Would it be possible for you to recommend a decent motel that is not too expensive? A motel? Oh no, no, no, no, no, I won’t hear this. No friend of Victor Kiriakis is staying in a motel. You’ll just, you’ll stay here. Oh no, I could not impose. Have you seen the size of this place? Trust me, it’s not an imposition.

But you don’t even know me. Tonight, I have felt closer to Victor. Since, I don’t know, since I lost him. And that’s thanks to you, Constantine. So, you are staying here in Victor’s home. And I won’t hear another word to the contrary.

Now that we’ve established that you won’t be forcing Victor’s widow out into the street, I was wondering if, um, if I’m moving back in? You are lord of the manor. Or at least half of the manor. Doesn’t make much sense staying in a modest apartment when you co own a sprawling estate. You want me to move back in?

Yeah. It would be nice to have you there. Sheesh. Most parents can’t wait for their grown ass kids to move out. Well, technically, I’m the one who’s freeloading. I’ll think about it. In the meantime, just keep an eye on things over there for me, huh? Well, there’s not much to keep an eye on. It’s just Maggie and Bonnie and me in a big, old house with a full staff.

I will think about it. Got it.

Alice, um, I’m proud of you. For what? For not swimming in a pool of gold coins. It’s heady stuff to be handed all that money and all that power at your age. I’ve seen it up close, how it can corrupt. How it can change a person. And I can tell already that you’re not letting it go to your head. I’m trying my best.

If you ever start to look at me, and not recognize me, you’re gonna let me know. Right? Dad. I’ll let you know, son. I promise. I gotta get to work.

Thanks for the beer. Pleasure.

Oh, hi. Hi, Marlena. Hi. I thought I heard voices out here. I’m assuming you had company. Yeah, yeah, I did. Uh, Chloe, Chloe was here. Oh, honey, are you all right? I just found out that she’s, uh, she’s moving to New York. With Philip. We’ve, we’ve been over for a while, but I’m gonna miss her. I know you will. You’ve always had a very, very special relationship.

Yeah. Sorry. That’s the office.

What?

The plans are made, Mom. I’m going to New York. Liz, Chloe. Yes? You are aware that she just broke up with, uh, Xander Cook, right? So? So? You don’t think there’s a possibility this is just an elaborate ploy to make him jealous? Chloe’s done with Xander. She told me she’s over him, and I believe her. Well, there’s your first mistake.

Look, Chloe and I were taking things slow. Believe me, I have no interest in feeling how I felt last time. I hated who I became. I won’t let that happen again. How do you know? I know, because… Mom, I learned my lesson. You don’t have to worry about me. Of course I have to worry about you. I worry about you because I’m your mother.

And because I love you more than anything. I know. And I know you just want the best for me.

I thought that I had lost you forever. I watched you struggle through this whole past year and then come out of it. Only to find out that you’ve lost your father.

If you and dad hadn’t helped me get the best care possible. I could have ended up in prison. Or locked away in Bayview. Well, Victor and I did what we did because we loved you and we believed in you. And I still do. I love you too. More than you even realize.

Hi. Sorry to interrupt. Uh,

I wasn’t expecting this. Yeah, neither was I actually. I was ready to… Give up, but I think that if we put in the time that maybe we can get through this, you know, we’ve come this far, haven’t we? I think our marriage and our family deserve a chance to heal. Yeah. Uh, Belle, I can’t tell you how, how nice it is to hear you say this.

That you want to, that you want to forgive me and that you want to work on our marriage. But, um, I’m not going to be here to do that. Let me

get this straight. You, you quit Basic Black to go back to Titan and I got to hear about it from HR. And then I get to hear about my grandfather’s will from Bonnie of all people? I meant to call you. Call me? I think that’s a face to face scenario. You’re absolutely right, and that’s what I should have done.

I’m, I’m sorry. It’s just that things have been a little chaotic recently. So, you’re Victor’s son? How about that, huh? How about that, yeah. Listen, when I found out that he left me half of his estate, I felt like I owed it to the old man’s memory to go back there and run Titan properly. But yes, I should have let you know right away.

Yeah, well, especially considering I hired you right after Maggie gave you your walking papers, right? I know, I know. But I’m gonna make it up to you, and I already figured out how. This should be rich. It is. Almost as rich as I am. That’s, that’s, that’s good. I’m kidding, I’m kidding, I’m kidding, I’m kidding.

Basic Black’s exclusivity rights with DiMera Enterprises. It’s ending soon, right? That is correct. You should come on over to Titan. We will make you a better deal than you’ve ever had with DiMera. And then you will be a part of the Empire. Think about it. Victor’s son and Victor’s grandson back together again.

Wow. First you… You stabbed me in the back, and now you want to own me. You really are Victor’s son, aren’t you? Okay.

Hello? Hello there. Oh, Justin, you’re home. Um, I’d like for you to meet, um, Constantine… Meliunas. Meliunas. He’s, he’s, um, Constantine was a very dear friend of your Uncle Victor’s. Oh, Justin Kiriakis. Nice to meet you. A pleasure. I’ve heard so much about you and your family. Yeah, well, uh, so you’re, you came to offer your condolences?

Yes. All the way from Greece. But he’s going to be staying with us for a while.

So, Philip just told me about your plan. And? And?

If my son’s happy, then I’m happy. Thanks for saying that, Mom. Yes, thank you, Kate. So, I’m sure you have a lot of details to iron out before you depart, so I will let you get to that. I’ll stop by to say goodbye to Mara before we leave. You better. Hmm.

Did Chloe… Yes? Be careful of my son’s heart.

Oh, wow, that went a lot better than I expected. Yeah, it did. How’d it go with Brady? Uh, he wished us both well. Really? Even me? Even you. Wow. Generous of them. Thought we were gonna get nothing but grief. I think we should consider this a good sign. I agree. Oh, I almost forgot. I saw Belle. Oh yeah? How’s she doing?

Not well. You know that rough patch she and Sean have been going through? Yeah? It just got a whole lot rougher. You’re going away? Yeah, I found an outpatient rehab center near where my dad’s being treated. Oh, okay. Well, that makes sense. You would want to be near your mom and your dad. Yeah, Ben and Ciara are both there.

I’ll be able to spend some time with my little nephew. Yeah, that’ll be good. You’ll have your whole family there to support you. So, how long are you thinking? Like, six weeks? I mean, I can give up some of my caseload. It might be hard, but I think I can do it, even if it’s just for a little while. Or, I can, I can put in a leave of absence like you did, probably here at the Salem PD, we can get a short term rental.

Belle, I’m, I’m not gonna be gone for just a couple of months. Oh. Okay, well, how long are you thinking? I don’t know. As long as it takes for me to get my head on straight. But the thing is, I, um, Like, I need to do this without you.

Oh wow, poor Belle. I mean, I knew that things were rocky between her and Sean, but I never thought he’d do something like this. She’s pretty messed up over it. But, I convinced her not to give up on Sean without a fight. I’ll be sure to check in with her before we leave tomorrow. Who knows, Belle’s talk with Sean goes well, maybe we can all have a going away breakfast.

A last blast gang send off. I’d like that. So, we’re really doing this? Yeah, looks like it. No expectations. No promises. But a whole lot of hope.

So you don’t want me to go with you? Look, if, if you’re there, my focus is going to be on trying to, to save our marriage. And what I need to be focused on, trying to save myself. And you don’t think that I can help? It’s, Bella, I don’t, it’s like they, it’s like they tell you on an airplane. Right before you take off.

You know, in case the, uh, the cabin loses pressure, you’d… Put your mask on yourself first, yeah? Look, I can’t be worried about whether or not our marriage has oxygen when I can’t breathe myself. So you can’t breathe when I’m around, that’s what you’re saying? No, no, no, Bella, it’s not… I’m not… I’m not saying this right.

I… I just need some… I need some time away to work on my problems. If you and I are gonna ever stand a chance of rebuilding our marriage.

I’m sorry. I hope that you, uh, I hope you understand. Yeah, I get it. I don’t like it, but I get it. I think what I don’t understand is why you can lean on your mom and your sister but not me. I’m your wife. I know, Susan. This is not about me choosing them over you. It’s not. It’s about me showing up for them.

Showing up for them and facing what it is that I’ve done. When I left my dad and I came back here, I just… I just spiraled down, and not only did I, did I not see the damage that I caused, I left, I left my sister and my mom there to pick up the pieces, and I just feel like I need to be there with them, you know, to help myself heal.

And when you do that, are you gonna come home to me?

Yes. I want that more than anything.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Right, well, um, still, I’m, I’m, I’m glad to see you and I know the move can be hard, you know, leaving your friends behind. Yeah. Yeah, but I did just, I did just meet this really cool girl in the park, so. Oh, wow. That was fast. Yeah. Yeah, but I thought… What? Never mind, never mind. I just feel really stupid, but you don’t, you don’t need to hear it.

Oh, come on, Tate. Why did you feel stupid? Because, um, I kind of thought she was into me, but she shut me down pretty quick. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I mean, turns out she’s into someone else, so… Hey, Mom. Tarlas, don’t be discouraged because I’m sure you will meet plenty of potential girlfriends here. Yeah, yeah, it’s just, it’s just a little weird being the new guy in town, you know.

But, this girl Holly did give me her number, so… I’m sorry, did you say Holly? What are you

watching tonight? Uh, tonight, we’re watching… Welcome to your childhood. I have been working on a secret blend of salt and… Chanel, uh, look who’s joining us. You remember Holly, right? Yeah, are you guys back together? We are. That’s wonderful! I’m happy for you. Really happy. But also kind of surprised. I mean, you guys got a divorce, right?

I figured your relationship was totally over. Uh, yes, it was. But, um, Chanel decided to give me another shot. Hmm. But aren’t you into girls now? Oh, uh, girls, boys, I’m into both. Well, that’s a bummer. Excuse me? Oh, no, no, sorry, I meant, um, It’s a bummer for the dating pool in Salem, because you’re such a catch, right?

You know, Holly is right. By the way, you are a total catch. And look who caught you. Again. Look at me.

Um, Dr. Evans. What are you doing here? I came to thank you personally. Susan filled me in on what happened. How you and Ava had realized that she was alive, and how you rescued her from Crumb. She thinks you’re a real hero. Okay, uh, I’m not sure the Salem PD would agree with her, but thank you. You’re welcome.

And if I can vouch for you in any way, at all, please call on me. I appreciate that. But right now I’m more concerned about Ava. I think there’s a good chance she could be sent to prison.

Hello, Ava. How you doing? What did the doctor say? You okay? Oh, yeah, I’m just fine. Good. I’m glad to hear it. As am I. Because now Mother can finally press charges against you for attempted murder.

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

What was this girl Holly’s last name? It wasn’t Jonas, was it? I don’t know. She never said. Well, what does she look like? She’s, uh, she’s hot. Very helpful tape. Sorry. Yeah. It’s okay. Oh, I know. Got my phone here.

Is this her? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that’s Holly. Why do you have a photo of her? Because she’s my daughter.

So, are we good to go here, G? Yes, uh, movie’s all set, so. Mom, I better get out of your hair. What? No, stay. Watch the movie with us. Are you sure? I don’t want to crash your date night. Hey, the more the merrier. And there’s plenty of popcorn. Yeah. Okay. Just, uh, you know, slide over, make some room for Chanel. No problem.

Okay. Thanks, Holly.

This is gonna be fun. Thanks for including me, guys.

Eva was already in a lot of trouble before the two of you went down the lab and you, you put a lot on the line for her. I, I mean, what else was I going to do? Somebody tried to kill her at Bayview. I had to step in. You did more than step in. You escaped from Bayview. You helped her evade the police. And then you helped create an international rescue mission.

I would say you’ve done quite a bit for her. Yeah, I… Like, one thing did lead to another. But Ava was worried that, you know, nobody would believe her side of the story. She knew that E. J. DiMera sent that hitwoman, and the only way to stop him from going after her again was to prove that Susan was alive. So you forged two passports, and you fled the country, and then you went about going on the run, avoiding the police, at your own risk.

I feel like there’s a question in here somewhere. There is. I’m curious. Why you did all that for Ava?

Press charges? I am the reason your mother is standing right here. You’re also the reason she went missing for a year. And you know damn well I wasn’t in my right mind when I did that. Unlike you. You, who knew exactly what you were doing when you sent that hit woman to bathe you to assassinate me. I didn’t know such a thing.

Oh, you lie. You’re such a liar. Prove it. Prove it? Yes. Hey, hey, hey. What’s going on here? Commissioner Hernandez, my mother is ready to make a statement about how Ava tried to kill her. Uh, uh, uh, actually, mm mm, I’m not, I’m not, yeah, I will not press charges against Miss Ava Daly. Would

you like a lollipop?

Uh, that thing I said about that girl, Holly, uh, being hot. I meant that in like a totally respectful way. It’s okay, Romeo. I get it. Dad mentioned that you had a daughter with Daniel. I guess I just, I forgot her name. In my head, she’s still like a little kid or something. Tell me about it. But to my dismay, she is all grown up.

Feels like it happened overnight. Yeah, what a crazy coincidence. I mean, what are the odds? Welcome to Salem. Hey, but since it happened, do you think you could put in a good word for me? Never mind, I mean, what’s the point, right, if she’s in love with this other guy? Um, I’m sorry, wait. Uh, first you said she was into someone else.

Now you’re saying she’s in love? Yeah, that’s what she said. What, did you not know? No. She hasn’t mentioned anything. I wonder who she’s talking about.

Okay, mid movie review, what do we think so far? Oh my god, I’ve heard of Clueless, of course, but I’ve never seen it before. And when you said it was almost 30 years old, I thought it might be in like, black and white or something. Oh my god, Johnny, we are old. Um, wow, okay, well it’s not like we even grew up on that movie anyway, but actually, Holly, Color was introduced to film in its infancy, like a hundred years ago in the uh, silent era.

See, they actually used to Oh, okay, okay, Mr. Movie Buff. We’re here to have fun tonight, remember? Not help write a film studies dissertation. No, that’s really interesting, Johnny. And so far, I’m loving it. Alicia Silverstone and Paul Brett, they make such an amazing couple. Don’t you think? Uh, even though it’s It’s a little creepy that their characters are practically related.

Oh, come on. They’re not related. Not really. They’re step siblings. They didn’t even grow up together. Exactly. And there’s nothing wrong with that because they’re perfect for each other. Okay, okay. I stand corrected. Although, I’ve always kind of had my eye on Jeremy’s sisto. Sisto? You trying to make me jealous right now?

Maybe. Oh, whoa. Oh, my God. Are you all right? Yeah, no, just the, uh, wow. Chanel, that, uh, the popcorn is pretty heavy on the spice. Yeah, I’m sorry, that’s my fault. I like it salty and spicy. Here, let me get you something to drink. What do you want? Um, I’ll take a sparkling water. Thanks. Oh, can you grab me one too, please?

Sure. Sparkling water is all around.

Hello?

Helping Ava just seemed like the right thing to do. You know, she was scared, she didn’t have anybody on her side, and I was there. It was, uh, as simple as that. It might have been simpler if she told me about Susan after our hypnotherapy session. Yes, I… I think you can understand Ava’s trust issues. Mm hmm.

The person Ava trusts is you. I mean, being locked away together… Can bond people, and to be honest, it’s, uh, pretty lonely at Bayview, and we became friends. Is that all? Uh, why, why are you asking? Well, just, um, for my part, on a personal level, it’s really none of my business. But as your therapist, I think I need to caution you.

That you seem to be in denial. In denial about, about what? About your feelings for Ava.

What are you talking about? Ava drove you off a cliff. She tried to kill you. And that attempted murder is the reason why you were held captive for a year. Oh, sweet, sweet boy. Ava. And her hungry sidekick. They rescued me. Yeah, and Ava has made her a magic. And, sweetheart, I forgive her. Oh. You know, besides, I would rather have Mr.

Commish here. You know, focus on that, that mystery man. The man that shipped me off to Edmund. Oh, yeah, don’t worry. I’m on it, Susie. Alright, that’s it. Let’s go get some grub, hun. Mother, please, is there anything I can do or say that can get you to reconsider? Nope, nothing. Oh, Susan, thank you so much. You, you have no idea what this means to me.

Aw. Aw, lollipop? Yes. Alright, Alice darling, let’s go. Chow down! You’re a woman.

Yeah. So. Mr. Krish. What you waiting for? Yeah. Slow your roll, Vitaly. I’m not out of the woods just yet.

I hope tonight hasn’t been too much of a bust. First getting booted from your mom’s place, and then… Pauly crashing our movie night. It’s never a bust when I’m with you. And I am so loving watching Clueless again. Yeah, yeah, me too. And what a treat! Right, I mean, an actual color film produced in the black and white 90s.

Yeah, you know, I’m kind of glad your mom kicked us out tonight. Me too. Although, I have to say, it has been a lot more lively around here than normal, right? I mean, so many people moving in and out of this mansion in the last year. Oh, including Holly. Right, right. But, uh, she’s cool though, right? Yeah. Yeah, she is.

I mean, pretty low bar, though. All she has to do is not try and kill anyone. Yeah. Yeah, when you put it like that, um, I hope my murderous family is not deterring from the point that I’m actually trying to get at here. Okay, which is? Well, I was just wondering if maybe you’d like to be the next person to move in.

You know, Brave the Demerit Dungeon. Oh, and you put it that way. No, but seriously though, what do you think? Well, gee, I’m, I’m really glad that we’re back together and we’re having fun. But, I, let’s just not get ahead of ourselves, okay? Okay. Fair enough. How about a compromise then? Maybe, after we finish this movie, you and I could slip up to my room and start practicing for when you do move in.

You could be the Cher to my Josh. Unless you’d rather, I don’t know, you know, go track down, uh, what’s his name, Jeremy’s sister or

something. Oh, as if. Special delivery. Oh, hey, Molly. Um, wow, thank you very much. Thanks. Very kind. Sorry, I kind of stole your spot. No problem.

Oh! Whoa! Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Did Holly mention who this person is? This guy she’s in love with? No. Well, maybe she was teasing you. Right? Talking about a celebrity crush. You know, she’s Oh!

Michael B. Jordan, too. Yeah, yeah, she did say that she thinks the guy feels the same way about her, so. Really? Unless Harry and Michael happen to be, uh, sliding into her DMs, uh. I sincerely doubt that.

Oh, shoot, my dad’s freaking out. I gotta go. Do you need a ride? No thanks, I’m good. It was, it was nice seeing you. Good to see you too, Dave. And be safe. Yeah. Oh,

sweetheart, I am so glad I ran into you. I have the most incredible news. Oh, what’s up? I don’t even know where to begin, to be honest. Elvis! Elvis! This, this is what I have missed most. Mmm, good old American cuisine on a stick. Oh my God, Susan, I can’t believe this. You’re alive. Yeah, oh my gosh, and you’re preggish.

You know, we were just with Mr. Commission. He didn’t say anything about finally becoming a daddy. Hmm.

Are you seriously gonna press charges against me for escaping from Bayview and running off to England? No. No, I’ll see the DA’s office. It’s, uh, it’s kind of a mess ever since Trask was fired, so, uh, they’re gonna let that slide since you rescued Susan. Okay, so then what is it? Oh, is it because Harris and I didn’t get EJ’s confession because we tried?

Oh, and believe me, I want that bastard behind bars just as much as you do. Nope. Not that either. What is it? Well, I don’t know if it’s completely slipped your mind, but you weren’t exactly a free woman when you escaped from Bayview. You were there because of a court order. Yes, but I got better. Susan is alive.

Okay, well, maybe you did, but… Where you go next, it’s not up to me. It’s up to your doctors.

Dr. Evans, I really don’t want to talk about this. It…

I understand. And, I wouldn’t ask if I weren’t your therapist. But it’s important for me to know because it affects you. And, it affects your recovery. Okay, um, I’m not gonna deny that I care about Ava. We grew close in Bayview and even closer on the run, but I don’t know, the kind of feelings you’re talking about.

Alright.

So, what’s going on? So, Susan decided not to press charges against Ava. And, um, well, as for the illegal passports and evading the police, DA’s just gonna let it all go. You got lucky. Because although what you did was unlawful, it led to the rescue of Susan, and, uh, well, long story short, you’re off the hook.

No one’s going to prison. So, Ava and I are free to go? No. Not quite. Well, technically, you and I have to complete our court ordered stay at Bayview, but, um… Well, you know some doctors there, don’t you? I do. I can make a call. Oh, Dr. Evans, do you think that I really need to go back? I mean, I feel like I’ve made so much progress, and…

Well, I’m sorry, that isn’t really up to me. Do you think that you could talk to my doctors about it? I’d be glad

to.

Honey, you didn’t tell her? There was a lot going on. Well, don’t tell me what! Nicole is pregnant with my child, not Rafe’s. Oh, oh, okay, hold on. I thought that you were Mrs. Comish. You have missed out on a lot since you’ve been gone. Um, Mother, Nicole and I are back together. In fact, we are, um, Engaged. Oh! Yes!

And this little bundle of joy is your future grandbaby. Are you sure about that? Because I’m not getting any kind of familiar connection. Well then your psychic powers are on the

fritz because that child is definitely mine. You’ve even done a paternity test. What? Are you hollering around on my boy? Mother! No, Susan, and I resent that question very much. Wait, you know, well then why, why would you have to get a test to find out if the baby is yours?

Okay, because, there, and, there were some issues, okay, in Salem about the time I got pregnant, and I was high, and, Well, so was the person I was with because of these tainted biscuits. Tainted biscuits, huh? Yes. Wow, and so who was the other person, ha, on biscuits? How is that important? My God, can’t you just be happy for us?

Be happy for yourself. We’re having a baby and you’re going to have a grandbaby. That is wonderful news, is it not? Okay, yes, I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m just so happy for the both of you. You know what? To show you my congratulations to the both of you, I am going to give you my last lollipop.

And look, it’s so pretty. Here you go. You know, children are really a blessing, aren’t they? It’s about time. Okay, calm down. No, seriously, Ted, come on, where have you been? I’ve been texting you for hours. I told you, Dad, I was out. I wanted to get reacquainted with the neighborhood. I gotta say, not much has changed since I was a kid.

Because that was so long ago. Well, I, uh, I went by the park. You know, the one that we used to see the ducks at? Oh, yeah? Wait, you remember that? Yeah, yeah, of course I remember that. Huh. Did you see any ducks when you were there? Well, I, uh, I saw one chick. A, uh, chick? A girl, dad. I saw a girl. Ah. Yeah. And get this, you uh, you know her.

I do. Who is she? Her name’s Holly. She’s uh, she’s Nicole’s daughter. Chanel, oh my god, I’m a napkin. I, I don’t think one napkin is going to cut it. I’m such a klutz. You must hate me. No, no, it’s fine. You’re fine. It’s not like I’m a wicked witch or anything. Oh, wow. Now you’re gonna have to go all the way home to change.

What? No, no, you don’t have to do that. Um, I’m sure I’ve got a, uh, you know, a t shirt or something that fits, and I’m sure there’s a pair of sweatpants up there that’ll sort of fit as well. And I’m pretty sure that I remember where you keep your things. Fantastic. Okay, so, um, I guess I will just go upstairs, do a quick little wardrobe change, and…

I’ll come back. Sounds good. Um, yeah. T shirts. Top drawer of the bureau. Next to the window. Sweatpants are on the bottom. Right. Again. I’m so sorry. Hey, it is okay. I you dare start that movie again without me. Of course not. I totally ruined everything, didn’t I? You should have kicked me out on movie night when you had the chance.

Oh, no, it’s fine. It’s fine. Don’t worry about it. It was an accident. An A. I was just telling Chanel I think you’re really cool. You are? Yeah. Yeah, this, uh, this whole nut house has been a lot more bearable since you and your mom moved in. Johnny, can I tell you a secret? Yeah, sure. What is it?

So I’m guessing there wasn’t anything on that tape that you could use against EJ? No. No, unfortunately not. But thanks for trying. Yeah, I know it’s kind of weird. I don’t know if he caught on or not, but he just left. But I’m just hoping that he doesn’t come after Ava again. Yeah, EJ isn’t really known for forgiving and forgetting.

No, no, he’s not. Dr. Evans, um, what did my doctors say? They agree that you’re making amazing progress. And, before your escape, they were actually considering releasing you. And now? Now they believe that you’ve learned right from wrong. And the woman that drove Susan off that cliff is not the same woman who risked her life to save her.

They think you are no longer a risk to society. So I’m free? You are free Oh my god, I’m

free.

Well, I’ve been debating whether or not I should keep this to myself, but maybe now’s the time to speak up. Eh? Oh my god, I’m crazy. No, no, I’m not. Look, I promise, no judgment here. Okay, well, I’ve been thinking a lot about… Grandma? Grandma? Grandma! Oh my god! So happy to see you! Look at you!

Oh

my god, I, I can’t believe this.

Me neither. Wait, how is this possible? It’s a long story, but all that matters is your grandma is home safe and sound. Holly, honey, can I speak to you for a second? Yeah, what’s up? What is it? Well, I spoke with Tate Black, you know, the boy you ran into at the park earlier. Oh, so his last name is Black. Is he…

Brady’s son. Yeah, I did not put that together. Neither did he. Put together that you’re my daughter. But, uh, he told me about your encounter, and what I want to know is… Who’s this boy you’re in love with? Uh…

Um… Holly! Yeah, she’s, uh, she’s a sweet girl. I’m hoping the two of you can be… Good friends. Yeah. Yeah, well… Actually… Well, actually what? Never mind. No, no, no. Hey, hey. Well, actually what? What are you hoping to sweep her off her feet? Hoping she’ll fall in love with you? What do you have planned here, buddy?

What actually? What? Why are you being so mean about this? I mean, am I not allowed to be attracted to some girl and go out with her? First of all, first of all, she’s not some girl, okay? It’s Nicole’s daughter. Second of all, yeah, you can feel whatever you want to feel. I just… I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to act on it right now.

Cool. Yeah, I’m going to my room. No, Tate, wait. Please, come here.

I know I’m being tough on you right now, okay? I’m sorry about that. But with what happened at your school, I just wish you were a little more focused on making up for that instead of… You caused your parents a lot of anxiety and a lot of disruption. We had to go to California and bring you back here. I already said I was sorry about all that.

I know, but that’s not always good enough. That’s why tomorrow you’re going to be enrolled in Salem High. And when you’re not studying, buddy, you are going to be working. Working? What are you talking about? When you blew me off at lunch, the pub, your Uncle Roman did show up, and as a favor to your mom, he said you could work there.

Work there? Yeah. That is so not fair. I thought you were joking about that whole job thing. I’m not joking, Tate. You caused damage at your school. You’re going to pay for it because of your stupid prank. Come on, Dad. That’s like 50K. It’s going to take me forever to earn that back. Good. And you’ll stay out of trouble forever.

Now that you’re free to go, Ava, I don’t want to see you back here. Ever. Got it? You know, normally, I might have a snarky response, but… I’ll just say that I plan to walk the straight and narrow from now on, I promise. Well, I hope that’s a promise you keep. Oh, I will. Um, is there a phone that I could use to call my son?

I’ve got to ask him to pick me up, and I guess I need a place to stay. You can use the phone in my office. Well, um, I’ll be back.

Bayview is willing to readmit you if you’d like me to drive you over. You know, um,

After everything I’ve been through, you know, I’m feeling pretty good about my mental health. What do you mean? Well, I mean, I had you commit me because I thought I was going to be a danger to other people and I don’t really feel like that anymore. You know, and despite all the stress and everything that happened when I was on the run, I just, I felt like, I felt like I was back in control.

So… With your approval, I would like to end my stay at Bayview, uh, but also keep seeing you on an outpatient basis if that’s… I mean, what do you think about that? I think that’s reasonable. I’ll make the call. Thank you for everything. Yeah, I’m just curious about one thing. Your decision… To leave Bayview, does that have anything to do with the fact that Ava’s no longer there?

Not at all.

Oh, let me get a good look at you. I can’t believe how grown up you are. Why not? My mom must text you photos of me all the time. Well, yeah, she does, but… He doesn’t like seeing you in person. I’m so glad you’re here, honey. Yeah, me too. Granny Mar Mar. What? I never heard my sister calls you that. What, you don’t like it?

Well, you may call me Grandma Marlena. Unless you like sleeping in the broom closet. Deal. Grandma Marlena. Thank you. This kid’s trouble. Oh, you’re telling me. I’m gonna set up your room. I will help you.

Honey, what are you doing? Mom, you are embarrassing me. Why would you be embarrassed? Hello, you are being nosy about my love life. Right out in public. Oh, so you are in love. No, I just made that up. Why would you do that? Because that Tate guy, he tried to kiss me. He did? Yeah, but I’m totally not into him. So, I just made up a story about some boy I was in love with.

You know, to let him down easy. Okay. Well, that was kind of you. And it makes more sense than you not telling me that you’re in love. Because you would tell me, wouldn’t you? Of course I would. Okay, good. Because I feel like you and I have a close relationship, right? And you would be open to telling me something that important?

I just said I would.

All right. Do you want to go back in there or do you want me to walk five paces behind you so I don’t embarrass you? Mom. Mom. Uh, actually, you go on ahead. I’ll catch up. Seriously, Mom, I love you.

Just go. Okay.

I love you too. Hi. You alright? You look a little upset. No, I’m fine. So, something going on in there or what? Oh, right, you were upstairs? Well, you’re never going to believe this!

So… So Ava, Ava was right? You’ve been alive this whole time? Mm hmm. And thank goodness that, uh, Ava and Mr. G. I. Blues, they, they rescued me, because I would have still been locked up and, you know, chained up to that floor in Edmund Crumb’s crummy little flat. Well, I think Ava maybe has redeemed herself this time.

Impossible. Hey, Elvis, you, you, you leave that girl alone, you hear me? Grandma’s right, Dad. Okay. It’s time for you and Ava to just, just wipe the slate clean, okay? Start fresh.

I guess I’m outnumbered here. Fresh slate it is.

Yes!

That’s my you tried to have Ava killed. She may be off the hook. Sure not, Elvis.

Yeah, Harris, that’s wonderful news all around. Yeah, I’m feeling pretty good about it, actually. Um, But I was calling because, is, is Mr. Brady around? Uh, no, he isn’t at the moment, but I’m filling in for him. Is there anything I could do for you? Well, I heard, uh, Eric’s room is vacant, and I was wondering if his dad would take me on as a tenant.

He sure. Yes, absolutely. I think he would be happy to do that, and I would be happy to have you here as well. That’s great. Thank you so much. Well, I’ll let Roman know, and we will see you here soon at the pub, your new home. Look forward to it.

Hey.

Ava. So, um, Tripp’s gonna come pick me up, but I just, I wanted to say goodbye and, um, thanks. Again. No thanks required. So, um,

you headed back to Bayview? Actually, I’m not, uh, gonna go back. And Dr. Evans said she will have me released. Really? That’s terrific. That’s great. So what are you going to do now? Well, uh, since I came to Salem to keep an eye on Megan Romero, and I don’t know, now that she’s gone. Yeah. You can, um, leave town then, huh?

No. I’m gonna stay here in Salem. I grew up here. It seems like a nice place to start a life. That’s, that’s really great. You, um, you have a place to stay. Uh, well, Dr. Evans actually said her son moved out of the Brady Pub, and Kate just rented the room to me. Well, look at that. Everything’s just working out.

And, uh, for what it’s worth, um, I’m really glad you’re staying in Salem.

I guess I’ll see you around. Yeah,

Mommy!

I want my mommy! Shhh. I’ll get

you

back to your mom. I promise. What’s your name? Bella. Okay, Bella, I’m Gabby. Is this your house? No.

Hey. Hey. Um, I hope I’m not late. I couldn’t remember what time I said I was going to pick you up. That is because we didn’t set a time. Oh. Sorry. Why are you sorry? If we didn’t set a time, that means you’re not early or late. That’s a good point. Yes, you’re right. So, where are we headed? I thought that you were picking the place.

Well, I thought you were picking the place. Okay, well maybe your mom has a good recommendation or something? Well, I’m sure she would, but she’s not here. I haven’t seen her since this morning. Oh. So you’re saying that we’re… Uh, you and I are here alone. Yep. Okay then. I think I might have just solved our dilemma of what we should do tonight.

What can I do? I mean, after I got kicked out of school, my parents hopped on a plane and dragged me back to Salem, so I’m stuck here now. Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey man, I gotta call you back. Hey, you dropped something. Oh my god, I can’t believe I almost lost that. You’re a serious lifesaver.

Like I said, I, my mom was just pressuring me to tell her how serious we were. And all I was saying when you walked in was that I could someday see myself getting married to you. But it’s not like I was dropping any hints about wanting to get married now. Okay. Good. I just don’t think that we have to rush anything.

I mean, I like the way things are. Don’t you? Absolutely. Okay. So, um, I have to go pick up the kids from Doug and Julie’s. I should probably get going.

I’ll see you in a little bit. Sounds good. Okay.

Look, Teresa, I’m just getting settled in here, as you can see. You have to eat, don’t you? Yeah, but I was planning on a working dinner. You’re turning me down for work? Oof. Wow. Maybe it was pity, sex, and grease then after

all.

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

Now, how many people can say that they are dating their husband? I mean, wait, I know, married people are always talking about planning dates. night or whatever, but this is just different. This is really dating, you know, the kind where you kiss good night, not the end of it. You go your separate ways, which I am so hoping.

Oh, that is not the case tonight. Oh, OK. So Abe. It’s definitely coming to your place, right? Yeah, he is. And Kate, I’m so damn nervous. What if I put my foot in it and make the man not want to remember I’m his wife? There’s no way that is not going to happen, okay? Ava’s lost his memory, hasn’t lost his mind.

Why would he not want to remember that he is married to one of the most charismatic, fascinating women in all of Salem? Oh, well, Kate, oh, hey. You do wonders for my ego and it’s very much appreciated. Especially tonight. Oh, oh, you know what, huh? Oh, I better, I better get started. I better go home. I better start cooking.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Wish me luck. You don’t need luck, okay? All you need is your awesome self. And you need to let that man know how lucky he was and is going to be sharing a life with an extraordinary woman like you. Oh, okay. I will! And thank you, thank you for the very effective… Oh, my pleasure. Okay, now you need to get going and get ready.

Okay. Yes! I’ve got this.

Abe? Hello? I, uh, I hope I’m not interrupting. I know you don’t remember me, but I’m really glad we ran into each other because I’ve been meaning to come and see you. I know who you are. You’re Nicole Walker. That’s right. And you have a daughter named Holly. Oh my god. I can’t believe this. You have your memory back.

Thank you, thank you. If I’d lost this… Oh my god, I owe you. Big time. Hey, hey, no worries. I’m, um, I’m Tate, by the way. Holly. Did you go to Salem High? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before. Yeah, I used to live around here, but I moved away a long time ago. But now you’re back? For a while, yeah. You don’t sound too happy about it.

Yeah, yeah, I wasn’t at first, but um… Hey, maybe it won’t be so bad.

So what brought you back here? Did one of your parents get transferred or work or something? Actually, no. I got in some, uh, trouble at school, so my parents brought me back to straighten my life out. See, according to my dad, I’m way too much like my mom,

Theresa. Mm-hmm. . I told you that was not pity sex at all. Hey. I wanted to be with you, and I promise you we will have that first date, but tonight I really do have work to do.

Okay, fine. A multi billion dollar corporation is more important than a night out with me. Mmm, I promise you we will have that date. Oh, really? Really. Can I get that in writing? You don’t believe me? No, it’s… Well, maybe you’re saying no because you think maybe I’m just after your money. Hey.

Mama! Hey, Paulina, how’s it, uh, how’s it going? Oh, hey there! Well, uh, oh, well, no need to be embarrassed. Well, I’m happy to see you two back together again. Yeah, well, you, uh, You frisky kids, you’re gonna have to take that someplace else. Oh, really? And, uh, why’s that? Because mama’s got a date tonight. Okay. Abe, I don’t know how you’re just sitting here reading your tablet when you should be dancing in the streets.

You have your memory back. Everyone’s been waiting for this day. Nicole, I think you’re getting ahead of yourself. What? I’m sorry. I don’t remember you. I, I, I don’t remember any of my life before I woke up in the hospital. But you, you knew my name, and my daughter’s name. Well, that’s, that’s because of my education.

Education? Yeah, see, uh, uh, When I moved in with Steve and Kayla, Kayla started showing me photographs of people from my past. And, uh, well she told me about, about who they are. And things pertaining to, to their lives. Oh. Yeah, I guess, uh.

I guess I did get a little ahead of myself.

So, What else do you know about me?

Well, Let’s see, uh, Nicole, Nicole Walker, um,

You and I were friends, right?

Actually, we were more than that. You’ve been like a father to me, and I’ve missed you. Very much.

Why would I suddenly think you’re after my money? Because I know my reputation. I mean, you would be a silly little fool for it not to have crossed your mind. So are you trying to get me to not trust you? No. I’m just trying to get it out in the open to remind you, okay, that we had talked about going out before I knew about your…

Inheritance, and that I had absolutely no idea that you were Victor Kiriakis son the night that we slept together. Yeah?

Well, you didn’t have to remind me. Luckily, I happen to be secure enough in my incredible animal magnetism and charm that it didn’t even occur to me that you could actually be gold digging. Ha! Okay, great. Now that that’s out of the way, you have no excuse to blow me off. Well, uh, other than my actual excuse of having to work.

Oh, come on. It’s after hours. You’re gonna work. You need to relax. You need to enjoy a little bit. You can work tomorrow. Tomorrow’s another day. So you’re just gonna be inventing every reason to put me on the spot, huh? Have I worn you down yet?

I don’t know. Wait, wait, wait. So, the sprinklers went off over the entire school? Yeah, like a downpour in every classroom, every dorm room, and in every office, too. Yaaay. Yeah, yeah. What did you think was gonna happen when you pulled that alarm? I don’t know. I thought maybe we’d get a nice little fire drill, everybody gets to go outside for a while.

And, uh, The physics exam that nobody studied for gets postponed. Hmm, you thought you’d be a hero. Yeah, yeah, well the uh, the headmaster had a different take on the situation. Fifty thousand dollars in damages later. So now my parents are trying to get me a job dishwashing to pay back all the damage that I caused.

Which is, which is good news because it should only take me… I don’t know, 20 years or so. Yeah, right. Well, hey, maybe it’s lucky for you that I did drop my bag. Yeah? Why’s that? Because, seems to me, like you need to light up and forget your troubles. Hmm? So

my son, Brandon, is My half brother. And Faye was our mother. Faye. Yeah, you loved her very much. In fact, that’s how you and I connected. Babe, you are so wise and kind. And you were the person that I turned to when I felt lost. You never judged me. And you were always there for me. Wow. I hope I get my memory back soon, because you just seem like a very special person.

Oh, hmm. Very flawed person, actually. I’ve been known to make some bad choices, to put it mildly. Well, welcome to the human race. You see, that’s exactly what my dear friend Abe Carver would have said to me back in the day. Finally. I wish I could be that guy for you again. You are that guy. And hopefully after my baby is born in a few months, you will be a big part of her or his life.

Well, you know Holly must be excited about having a little brother or sister on the way. Mmm, I don’t know about that. Holly’s a teenager and she’s excited about… Whatever teenage girls are excited about. Boys. Oh, I suppose. I hope not. Because I am not ready for that yet.

Um, am I, am I keeping you? Uh, you know, I have somewhere I have to be soon. But I am a little nervous, actually. Where do you have to be? I have a date. With my wife. Paulina Price and I are having dinner tonight. So, what’s

the plan? The plan is a lovely, quiet, home cooked dinner. Oh, nice. Oh, I have to preheat the oven. Oh, you know, I’m not sure how I look. Uh, you know, uh, what do you think? How do I look in this dress? Uh, should I, should I wear slacks on or something more casual? What you’re wearing is perfect. And Mama, Try not to be so nervous, okay?

You and Abe, you’ve been out a few times. And you’ve had fun, right? Yes, yes, yes, but uh, tonight is different because we’re not meeting in a restaurant. My lovely dear Abraham, he’s coming here to the place that we once shared. The place where he left, because it was just too much for him and if it, well, if it still is, I’m just worried that I might push him away for good.

Yes, Mom, Chad and I finally talked about what he walked in on the other night. It turns out he’s not interested in getting married any time soon.

No, of course not. I told him that I was totally on the same page.

Yes, I was lying, but what else am I supposed to say? I don’t want to come across as desperate. Hang on, I gotta go. He’s coming back.

Hey! Where are the kids? Ah, well, they, um, they begged me to stay at Doug and Julie’s for the night, so. It’s just gonna be the two of us for dinner. Oh. Well, um, you wanna order in? You know, I was thinking maybe we should go out. Bistro. That sounds great. I’ll, uh, I’ll just grab my purse and you call for a table.

Okay. Hey, Steph. Um, I was thinking about our conversation. Which conversation? About marriage. Oh. Uh huh. And I just, I, I, I don’t want things to be weird. I want to make sure that we’re good. We’re good. Like I said, I don’t want to rush into anything either. Are you sure? Positive. Okay. Alright. Then let’s hit the bistro.

Beautiful, thank you. Alright, got us a res at the bistro. Don’t you have like a little assistant who can do that for you? You know, call up the bistro and say, Hi, Mr. Kriakis is coming in. I’d like a very special table for a very special friend. Maybe next time. Oh, so you’re committing to a second date? I am down with that.

Even though I’m not exactly sure of one thing. Uh oh, what’s that? Well, I know we got the whole gold digging thing cleared up, but…

But…

You’re not using me to make Brady jealous, are you? Okay, okay. I’m gonna tell this to you like this. Brady and I just picked up our son from California because he got kicked out of school. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Yeah, and of course Brady blames me because Brady’s Brady and I’m me. And if you had flown with us on the plane all the way over here, you would not be questioning my feelings for that man.

Okay. So you got in a fight about your kid? We got in a fight about everything. I’m surprised the Air Marshal didn’t arrest us. What the hell did they do to get poked out of school? I don’t know. According to him, it was some prank gone wrong. Played by the victim of overbearing parents and intolerant school administrators.

Sounds like my kind of kid. Sorry, I’m kidding. Um, where is he now? He’s with Brady. Hopefully Salem will be good for him. And all the drama will be in the past.

Where’d you get that? Maybe you haven’t followed the news, but weed is legal in this state. Yeah, weed is legal in California too, but it doesn’t mean they let teenagers into dispensaries to buy it. Are you gonna read me the local bylaws or? Do you want to get high?

I, um, could stand to chill out a bit. Me too.

Hang on.

There is a cop right over there. Okay, so maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. No, it’s just an idea we save for later. Do you want to hang out sometime? You and me? Sure. Put your number in.

Hi, it’s Tate. Now I’ve got mine. Tate. Holly. Cop’s still there.

It’s too bad. I still owe you for finding my bag. You’ll have plenty of time to make it up to me. Yeah, well, thanks again. You’re welcome.

Oh. Huh. What are you doing?

So you’re nervous about going back to your old place? Yes. You know, I, I lived there before I moved in with Steven Kayla Johnson, and I had to face the weight of Paulina’s expectations. And now I’m concerned that if I’m. I’m alone there with her. Well, once again, uh, those expectations might rise to the surface.

Abe, I’m sure Paulina isn’t gonna pressure you. Have you met the woman?

Okay, uh, historically, I used to come to you with the problems and you would dish out the sage advice. So I will, uh, I’ll give it a try. I use all the dice I can get, so… What do you say? Just go with the flow. Live in the moment and don’t get caught up in the expectations. Because there are worse things than having a wonderful woman madly in love with you.

You know, I may not remember you, but I’m starting to understand why we were so close. I’m glad we had this time together. Me too. And you mind if I give you a hug? Oh, not at all. Okay. Oh.

Good luck Eve. And I hope to talk to you again soon. Oh, you will, for sure. For sure. Oh, yes. Thank you. Okay. Bye

now.

So, you’re going to do the carrots and not the asparagus with the lamb? You sure about that? Look, Chanel, your mom has got this, okay? It’s our job to stay out of her way. Thank you, Johnny. Have a good time. Mm hmm.

What? What is it, baby girl? Uh, Mama, try to remember that. Abe’s memory, it may be spotty or whatever, but… His heart is the same, and somewhere deep down his love for you is still there. It’s just waiting to resurface again. And when it does, it is going to be just as strong as it was before. Maybe even stronger.

Oh, Chanel. You know, sometimes you drive me crazy. Sometimes, you sure know the right thing to say. Well, you know, I know it’s gonna work out. Because… Just look at Chanel and me. And we found our way back to each other. Because it was meant to be. Same as you and Abe. Oh. Come here, you two! Oh! You might need to come back over here and repeat that same speech to Abram.

Let me know. Okay, now get, okay. I’ve got a date and I’ve got you prepared for. Okay, okay. Go on.

So, Ava’s seeing Pauline. She’s like, yes! And it’s a pretty big deal. Because they won’t be on neutral territory like they were for their previous days. So obviously that could lead to something other than, you know, a goodnight kiss. Well, we can only hope. She’s so excited. She really is, but she’s very nervous too.

But that’s understandable. You know, knowing Pauline as I do, she is so full of fun, she’s so vibrant, and even if Abe doesn’t get his memory back, I think he might fall in love with her all over again. Oh, yeah. Well, and speaking of love, I, I talked to Chad. Yeah, he was talking about his feelings for Stephanie.

I understand they’re very happy together. Yes, yes, they are. They are. I just hope that that continues.

Teresa! Hey, Cuts! Hi! I didn’t know you were still in Salem. I guess you meant it when you said you were sticking around. Yeah, well, things have changed. A little. What? What’s going on? It’s a long story, but Tate’s in town, too. Oh, really? Is he here with you tonight? No, he’s with Brady. Oh, well, you shouldn’t have to eat alone.

Why don’t you, why don’t you join us? Oh, I’m actually, um, I’m expecting someone. He’s just parking the car. Oh, there he is.

Chad. Steph. Good to see you guys. You too. This guy was going to spend the night working, but I wore him down. So now he’s having dinner with me. Well, that’s great. I’m going to use the ladies. You want to come with me? I’ll tell you about Tate. Sure. I’ll be right back.

So, um, Stephanie filled me in on everything going on with you and your family. Uh, you okay? Yeah, yeah, I mean it hasn’t fully sunk all the way in yet, but um, I’m rolling with it. Your dad is not really my biological dad. Didn’t see that coming. Well, I’m, I mean, for what it’s worth, you know, I, I, um, I went through something pretty similar when I found out Stefano was my father.

Um, I’m probably one of the few people who actually knows what you’re going through. Yeah, well, I guess so. So I guess, I’m just, what I’m saying is, I know we’ve had our issues. You know, but I’m here if, hey, if you want help or whatever. I appreciate it, man. Thank you, Chad, seriously. Yeah.

So, um, Teresa. Yeah, she just had to uproot her son, drag him to Salem. So I guess we’re all just dealing with the fact that our lives are being turned upside down.

Oh my God. Oh my God. I am so sorry. We were just, we were talking about hanging out and we were standing really close to each other. I just thought, don’t, don’t worry about it. I feel bad. I feel like a jerk. I just, I didn’t mean to. Tate, it’s fine. Really. Look, I’m cool with being friends. Okay. But I’m kind of in love with somebody already.

Oh. Oh, oh, so you’re with someone. Actually, we haven’t gone out or anything, but I’m pretty sure he likes me too. At least I hope so. Hey, that’s great. That’s great. Good for you. Yeah. So, friends? Uh, yeah, friends. I mean, I don’t have any other friends in this town, so. Well, we’ll hang out soon, and it’ll be fun.

Not awkward at all. I promise. Yeah. So, uh, have you, have you known this guy a long time? Pretty much forever.

Okay, let me see if I can find this movie. Please tell me it is not another foreign film with weird dream sequences and subtitles. No, no. In fact, tonight we are going to be watching a brilliant piece of world cinema called… Clueless. Oh, wait, wait. Clueless? Clueless. I love that movie. But isn’t that a little too normal for you?

Oh, come on. I’m not a movie snob. Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, awesome 90’s soundtrack. Okay, now you’re speaking my language. I’m gonna go get some popcorn started.

Okay. Is something wrong? It’s, it’s gonna go okay for a moment. Right? No. It’s gonna go great.

Olena, girl, who are you so anxious about? This is, this is just your husband. This is your incredible, loving husband. Oh!

Abraham. Hello, Pauline. Um, you look, you look beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. You, you look pretty great yourself. Come here. Oh, come here. Come here. Oh, I’ll take that. Ah. Hmm. Well this, oh, well this, this was an excellent choice. Oh yeah, that was recommended by the man in the store. Ah, well, you know, this stuff, uh huh.

Uh, yeah, I am, um, Oh, I was just so looking forward to tonight. Oh, me too, me too. Oh, something just smells delicious. Lamb chops. You were always very partial to them, so I thought, you know, I thought that it might bring back… Oh, well, you know, you always liked them, so there’s a good chance that you’ll like them again.

I better decant the wine. Oh, you know what, uh, let me do it. Let me do it.

What? How did you know where that was?

Well, I

wasn’t even thinking. I just wanted to decanter and believe it was just a guess. You bought that decanter after we were married. Did I? Mm hmm. We could decide where to put it. Then you decided that we should keep it there. I’m sorry, I… I don’t remember. Oh, well. I’m taking it as a sign. And with more good things to come.

You know, uh, I’ll decant the wine.

I know your father doesn’t have his memory back, but sitting with him, ah, just, it was like old times. Yeah, me too, Brandon. I love you. Alright.

Tate? Yeah? Oh, it’s, it’s me, Nicole. Cool. Oh, oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I remember. Sorry, it took me a second. Yeah, no, it’s okay. It’s, it’s, it’s been a while. I only recognized you because I’ve seen so many pictures, you know, that your parents post. Right, yeah. I, I didn’t know you were in town. Yeah, it wasn’t really a planned thing.

Um, I was kind of forced to come back, but… Oh, so you’re not happy about it. Did something happen in California? Long story, I’m sure my dad will tell you all about it. Okay, well I’m glad to see you. I know it’s not easy moving and leaving all your friends behind. Yeah, yeah, but uh, I did just meet this nice girl in the park, so…

Oh, well that was fast. Yeah, but I um, I thought that… What? Never mind, never mind, I just feel really stupid. Uh, but you don’t need to hear about it, so… Oh, T, come on. Why did you feel stupid? Because, I kinda, I kinda thought she was into me. But, uh, she shot me down pretty quick. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, yeah, turns out she’s, uh, she’s into somebody else, so.

New lease on life, thanks to surgery at the hospital for sick…

Johnny! Hi! Holly, hey! Whatcha doin Uh, just actually getting ready to watch a movie. Hmm. Yeah. Shoulda known since you’re such a movie expert. I don’t know if I would say that I’m an expert, but I’m a big fan of them. The good ones. Right. Well, I’m a fan too, I just don’t really know much about them. Oh, man, I’ve got…

A ton of books about movies. You can borrow one whenever you want. Thanks. Yeah. That’s really nice of you.

So, what are you watching tonight? Um, tonight, we are actually Wait a second, shall you try this? I have been working on this new blend of salt and spices. Hey, look who’s joining us. Holly, you remember Chanel, right? Are you guys, like, back together? We are. That’s great. I’m really happy for you. Thank you. So, Alex and Teresa, huh?

I’m not surprised. I mean, Alex was her type even before he came into the Kiriakis fortune. So now… Huh. Hope it works out. I guess one thing about Theresa, she’s motivated. I wouldn’t wanna be in her way. Thank you. What? For? Convincing me to come out. I mean, harassing you until you came? Mm-hmm. Yes. Yes. That, and I’m glad you did.

To be honest, it feels like the earth hasn’t really stopped moving from underneath my feet. It just feels easy to kind of bury myself in the work. Well, like I said, work can wait. You needed to get out. Have some fun. I did. Truly. So thank you again.

To working so hard for this. Cheers. Cheers.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, well, what are you so pleased about? Check this out. A warrant out for Vivian Allemane? Mm hmm. They got that psycho on possession of a deadly weapon and parole violation. Oh, that is great news. Now, if Vivian goes to jail, Maggie gets her house back. Oh, you haven’t heard. Victor actually had a new will.

Maggie tossed old Viv out the door yesterday. That is even better news. Yes. Yes. It is for Maggie, of course. And also, I cannot wait to ditch that rock hard mattress at the Salem Inn for good. Assuming that Maggie is still okay with Justin and me moving back in.

Come on, Maggie. Oh, Justin, how are you? Hanging in there. Hanging in there. Well, what can I do for you? Well, I was wondering, um, actually, Bonnie was wondering, now that Vivian is out of the picture, whether you might welcome us back into the family fold. Oh, Justin, of course. I mean, I’ve been so distracted.

Otherwise, I would have called you myself and urged you to come back. Especially since, uh, I’m gonna be glad for the company. You know, I’m gonna be spending more time at home now than I anticipated. What do you mean?

Wait, you’re out at Titan? What happened? Eh, you know, call it karma. Maybe taking too much pleasure in kicking Vivian to the curb. Because Alex did the same to me.

Vivian, I just got back to town and Chad told me all about your plans for Titan and I want absolutely nothing to do with them, so I am here in person to tell you that I quit.

Kate. Hey, may I come in? Yeah, of course. Draw me flowers? Um, actually those are flowers that you sent me to congratulate me on the birth of my grandchild, but I thought I would give them back and let you and Stephanie enjoy them. Oh, you didn’t like them? I think they’re beautiful, it just turns out that…

Victoria wasn’t really my grandchild.

Oh, hi, sweetie. I’m sorry that I had to get off the phone so quickly, but Kate was in quite a state. Well, she just found out that Philip is going to New York with Chloe. Yeah, well, she’s concerned, you can well imagine. No, I did try to talk her down, I’m just not sure how effective I was. Thanks. Say, speaking of offspring, is there any word from Brady since he left for California?

Welcome to Global Airlines. You only travel in style. Theresa, would you hurry up, please?

Pull your jets, I’m coming already, jeez. Hey, we’re in L. A. for two days. I mean, why would anybody need this much luggage? I don’t get it. Anyone? I’m not just anyone. I’m Teresa Donovan.

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

So, Victor did have a new will. Thank God. Oh, thank God. Thanks to the lawyers. Thank Judge Judy, whoever. Maggie gets to keep her house and her inheritance. Wow, that must have been a relief for the whole family. It was, um, although it came at a price. What’s that? It cost Justin his son.

Alex, what are you doing here? Well, according to the nameplate, this is my office. Your office? I guess you haven’t heard. I’m the new CEO of Titan. But don’t you work at Basic Black? And what about Vivian? Well, as it turns out, Uncle Vi Turns out Victor did have a will. He left half of everything to Maggie and half to me.

To you? And what about the rest of your family? I mean, I know Victor was your great uncle and he loved you, but… He wasn’t my great uncle. What?

Victor Kiriakis was my father.

I will talk to Alex. Justin, don’t. This isn’t right. He fired you? Oh, not exactly. Alex and I had a misunderstanding. You see, I just assumed that I would stay on as CEO, since Victor passed him over and gave me the job in the first place. Well, he didn’t see it that way because in his eyes, since Victor gave him controlling interest of the company, that meant he would get the top job.

That wasn’t Victor’s intent. If it was, he would have put it in writing. Oh, well, you know, it doesn’t matter. What do you mean it doesn’t matter? Alex told me the board was on his side. And even if they put it to a vote, that they would select him. He threatened you with a board vote. Well, it wasn’t really a threat.

He offered to let me stay on in a supporting role. But, you know, I decided I would just bow out gracefully. I’m so sorry, Maggie. Are you sure there’s nothing I can do? No, but thank you. Damn! I can’t believe Alex would do this. And I’m even more appalled that Victor would do this. Did you? To me, to all of us.

Should we, uh, get you a motorized cart? Maybe a Sherpa or something? I’m dying at first. I’m just looking for a place to get a coffee. Theresa, we’re on a three and a half hour flight. I think you ran the flight attendant about ten times. Do you still need some coffee? No, I think it was those salty pretzels or something.

Why are you in such a hurry anyway? I want to get home. That’s all. Uh, what about waiting for our son? I don’t know what’s keeping him because he just had a bag in the overhead bin, so I don’t know where he is. Sorry, I was, uh, talking to the flight attendant. You know, the blonde one? Kept offering us snacks.

Yeah, yeah, what were you trying to do, get her number, Tate? No, no, we were just talking, but she, she happens to be from Salem, so I was asking her what kind of fun things there are to do around here. Mm hmm, and then you got her number, right? Can you not? Can you not do this right now?

He gets it from you. Please proceed

to Sarah let Rex think the baby was his when she knew it was Anders all along? No, no, no. He knew from the start and he just gallantly volunteered to put his name on the birth certificate to protect Sarah and the baby. Okay, but did he have to marry her? No, of course he didn’t have to marry her. He wanted to.

He still has feelings for her? Well, clearly. Although he denies that’s the reason he made the grand gesture.

Okay, well, um, the truth is out. So now what? I don’t know. Now I am stuck with the daughter in law, I can’t stand, and Rex is in Xander Cook’s crosshairs. I’m sorry. That sounds messy. Yeah. Except now I know why Rex was keeping me at arm’s length. He just didn’t want me to get too close to a grandchild that wasn’t mine.

My God. All these years. All these years. How could Victor do that? How could he let Justin believe that Alex was his son? That is the burning question. I mean, come on, I get the whole truth will set you free thing and all, but it just would have been a whole hell of a lot easier if Victor had just taken the secret to his grave.

How’s Justin taking it? About how you’d expect. I think that Victor knew you would be a good father to Alex. A better father than he was capable of being. I certainly tried, but all of this would have been so much easier if the truth had come out 30 years ago. I know. I can’t even tell you, explain how this feels.

I mean, everything I thought I knew about my family, my relationship with Victor. My son? And why do it like this? After keeping it secret all these years? It just seems that spending time at Beau’s bedside changed Victor’s thinking. But all we have to go on is what he wrote in the new will. I mean, he left us so many questions.

Questions that we will never get the answers

to. Victor was your father? Yeah.

So, Justin is your… Cousin. And Sonny is not really my brother. Oh, Alex, of course he is. I mean, Vic and Joe are adopted. Did you ever think that they weren’t your real brothers? Yeah, but this is different. It doesn’t have to be. It does, though.

You know, Steph, I keep going over every single interaction I had with Uncle Vic. With my father. And I never would have guessed this in a million years.

So his will said that he wanted you to be CEO instead of Maggie? Not exactly. And that’s been a point of contention right now. Maggie said that if he wanted to put me in this position, then he would have done it while he was alive. Do you think that’s true? I don’t know.

I may never understand why he didn’t tell me. Why he waited until now to reveal the truth.

Maybe he thought all the money and the controlling interests of Titan would make up for all the lost years. Does it?

Sorry, stupid question. How, I, I can’t.

Nothing can make up for the fact that he lied to me. My whole

life. Jade. You’re 16 years old. So what? So what? That flight attendant was probably twice your age. There are, uh, laws, you know, covering this kind of stuff. Relax, okay? We just talked. And when I asked for her contact info, she shot me down. Extreme prejudice, I might add. Oh. Well, at least somebody’s thinking clearly.

I think you need to worry a little bit less about hitting on older women and maybe a little bit more on your future. Here we go. Yeah, yeah, here we go. Because I didn’t just bring you back to Salem for kicks, buddy. Okay, just because I got booted out of boarding school for bogus reasons. Bogus reasons? You, you, you pulled the fire alarm during exams.

Like I already explained, I didn’t think the alarm was going to cause all the sprinklers to go off and cause all that damage. No, you didn’t think at all. Well, that was good. Dad, that was serious. Did you, did you learn how to do that at the University of Fatherhood? The University of Fatherhood? Are you serious?

What is he talking about? We don’t need to go over this again, Brady. I think we do. Yeah. Obviously we do. Yeah, maybe we should go over it. Maybe we should go over some of the pranks that you pulled back in the day. Like, uh, kidnapping a goat and, uh, letting it loose in the halls. Well, from what I hear, your father wasn’t really much fun in school.

That’s wrong. I was a lot of fun in high school. And that goat, by the way, didn’t cause 50K in damage. I mean, they do eat a lot. Tate, the bottom line, this is not funny, alright? You did something really bad, you gotta pay for it. Aren’t you rich? I mean, not as rich as you were before you got kicked out of Great Grandad’s will, but still.

I’m not paying for this, buddy. You are. With what money, Dad? I’m 16, remember? Well, you’re gonna do a little something they call get a job. A job? Yeah, you’ve heard of them. Yeah, it’s a job. It’s like you do a task and people pay you for it. They give you a paycheck. Okay, he’s just a kid. He doesn’t have skills to…

He’s gonna learn. And I think I know exactly where he’s gonna do that.

So, I don’t care if Rex thinks I’m an overbearing and interfering mother. Ew. Never. Okay. The point is, I am not going to let Sarah Horton break his heart. Yeah, even if he did break hers first. I think you should stay out of it. Oh, that’s so funny. I don’t remember asking you for advice. I don’t care if you’re asking for it.

I’m giving it. You’re gonna make things worse. Who says? Says me. Someone who’s been through something very similar recently. What have I done to you recently? Surprisingly, nothing. Steven Kaler. Don’t tell me they don’t approve of you and Stephanie. Oh, quite the opposite. They cannot wait for us to get married.

What? Did they say that? Yeah, we were getting together for dinner and I walked in on Stephanie telling her mom, um, Of course I want to marry him. Do they know that you overheard that? Yeah. Yes, you know, she backtracked a bit and put it on her mom, and then Steve came in and basically asked what my intentions were.

Oh, thank God. That’s a lot of pressure. And, and, you know, I don’t, I don’t, I don’t know how to feel about it all because we haven’t been together that long. Okay, so this marriage idea, do you think that was Stephanie’s or Kayla and Steve’s? I don’t know. I don’t know. Did you talk about it? We danced around it a bit, and then, and then she had to go out of town for business.

Okay, so then it is possible she was just humoring her mom to keep her mom off her back. Yeah, I guess so. Okay, so let’s, let’s just forget about what Stephanie wants for a minute. Who do you want? Me. Mm hmm. You? Do you want to marry her?

I thought Vivian kicking us out of the house would be the worst thing that would happen after Victor’s death.

I know this is a shock and all, but… There may be some perks to the situation. You mean the job? The job. The money. The power. These are all things you’ve wanted, right? Sure. But not like this.

So I guess we’re not gonna be neighbors anymore. Why do you moving back into the mansion? Uh. I’m on the fence. Not really sure it would be all that fun for Maggie and I right now to… together. And if my dad and if Justin and Bonnie decide to move back into the house, that would be a little awkward, too.

Why? He’s still your dad, Alex. You two still love each other. Yeah. Well, I just don’t think I’d really be ready to live under the same roof with him right now.

Plus, if I move out of the apartment, I wouldn’t be able to use your shower anymore when mine craps off. I know you’d miss the hell out of that. Oh, desperately. Steph, if you still want to quit working for Titan, I totally understand. I don’t want to quit. Are you sure? We figured out our stuff. We’re friends, right?

I’d like to think so.

Alex, I’m really sorry you’re going through all of this.

I know that it hurts. You don’t have to act tough with me.

Thank you. But I’m not really feeling that tough right now.

Has Alex mentioned whether he wants to move back in? Not yet. I get the sense that he likes where he’s living now. To be honest, if Bonnie didn’t hate the Salem Inn, I’m not sure I’d be rushing to come back here either. Brings up a lot of complicated emotions, I’m sure. But, Justin, this is your family home.

Victor loved you. He would have wanted you here. And Alex is still your son, Justin. Nothing will ever change that.

Well, please, tell Justin that I’m thinking of him. And, and if there’s anything that Steve and I can do… Oh, thank you. I wish there were. But, the damage is already done.

God, look at Victor, still stirring the pot from beyond the grave. You can say that again. How’s Alex handling it? Well, he said all the right things to Justin, you know. That he’d always be his dad, etc, etc. But, knowing him, now that he’s the heir to the great Victor Kariakis, well… I’m afraid it might go to his head.

I imagine you’re right, , and now he’s a very rich, very eligible bachelor. I mean, not that he wasn’t already a hot commodity, didn’t judging by all the action he was getting, but now every single woman in town is gonna want to get their hooks in there. Know what I mean?

Oh,

I wish I was as sure as you, Maggie. That nothing will change between me and Alex. Justin, do you know the story of Mickey and our son, Mike? Oh, yeah. I’ve heard it. Yeah, I’ve heard about it. Well, let me refresh your memory. Many years ago, Mickey’s first wife, Laura, had an affair with his brother, Bill. Mickey wasn’t physically able to be a father.

So, when Laura became pregnant… Everyone knew it was Bill’s child. Everyone, except Mickey. Mickey raised Mike as his own for years. And then finally when the truth came out, it was difficult and was painful at first. But you know in the end… Nothing mattered. I mean, Mike, it was still and always was his son.

Biology, it didn’t matter. Go on, Iota. And it’s not going to matter with you, Justin. Because what matters is that you’ve raised Alex to be a fine young man. Some of the time. Justin, I understand that this feels… Like a, a, a terrible loss. Now trust me, you’re gonna get through it. I promise.

Let’s see if your Uncle Willem is around. Tate? Is that you? Hey Aunt Kayla, it’s good to see you. Oh my god, wow. It’s been so long. Are you on a break from school? Kinda. He was asked to leave. It was a mutual decision. He was kicked out. Thanks. Dad, do you want to post it on all your social media? I mean, I’m sure every stranger in this town would love to know.

Uh, Bonnie, Bonnie, do you know, uh, Brady’s son, Tate? Bonnie, Lockhart Kiriakis. I mean, father’s cousins. Um, we’re related. I think. Anyway, welcome back to Sam! Thanks. Just to make sure that you know, I got kicked out of school. Yeah, I heard.

Uh, and, and, uh, and this is, uh, my niece, Theresa, uh, Kimberly’s daughter, if you forgot. Hello, Bonnie. Hello. Theresa, always good to meet another Brady. So, as we’re roaming around, I wanted to talk to him about this one getting a job here. Ah, joining the family business, huh? Yeah, yeah, it’s news to me. Well, he caused a little damage at school before he left, so it’s time that he pays for it.

What am I even going to do around here? Wait tables or something? No, you’re not going to wait tables. You have to be 18 to wait tables, so you’re probably going to bust tables or you’re going to wash dishes. Wash dishes? Anything. That Roman says you’re going to do, you’re going to do. Well, I mean, at least you won’t be scaling the fish like I had to do when I was your age.

Is this really necessary? He’s going to be working till he’s 90 at the rate that Roman pays him. But he will work till he’s 90. Come on, he just moved to a new school in a new town. He can multitask, Teresa. Uh, well, you know, Roman actually is out. Okay, then I will text him. Can I at least get some lunch while we’re waiting?

Yeah, sure, sure, sure. Grab a menu. I should go. Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie, wait up. I did want to talk to you. It’s been on my mind and I’ve been a little distracted with what’s been going on lately. So, my grandfather’s briefcase. What was in it? The one the ISA recovered from the wreckage. Oh, uh…

As it turns out, uh, Victor did write a new will just before he died. To replace the one that he destroyed. Mm hmm. Um, okay. Is that it? For starters, uh, Vivian Alamein got exactly what she deserved. Absolutely nothing. Good. That is good news. Uh, and then, um, he, he left half of everything to Maggie. Even better.

So, so does that mean that the other half goes to the, uh, to the rest of the family? No. The other half went to the son no one knew he had.

Alex Kyriakis.

Sure, I’ll answer some questions. Yes, I am the

new CEO of Titan.

Yes, it turns out I am Victor’s son.

How do I feel about it?

No comment.

I mean, honestly, I, I, I never, I never really thought about marriage until I overheard them talking about it. Really? You’re living together, she’s helping you raise your children, right? Oh, now you’re starting to sound like Caleb. Oh, no. Don’t. Please, I am sorry, because I don’t want you to think that I’m trying to pressure you at all.

Okay? Especially because I know what a big step that was for you to think about getting serious about Stephanie in the first place. Yes, it was a, it was a huge step. And honestly, it’s still kind of strange living with somebody who isn’t Abby. And she’s only been gone for 16 months, and I thought I was gonna spend the rest of my life with that woman.

I know. I’m sorry. I really am. You have to take all the time you need.

Oh, hi. Hey. Am I interrupting something? Hey, welcome home.

Hey, thanks. Good to be home. Hi, Kate. Hey, Stephanie. And of course you’re not interrupting. Oh, never. Did you see these flowers? These beautiful flowers that Chad got for you? Ooh, beautiful. Anyway, I should be going. You… You have a great day. Hey. Bye. Thanks, Kate. Goodbye. Um, the flowers are amazing. What’s the occasion?

Okay, I gotta, um, I have to confess, actually, um, I bought them for Kate. But they’re yours now. I’m not offended by secondhand flowers.

I missed you like crazy. Same. You got my text? Yeah, did you uh, tell me when you quit? I stopped by Titan, but it didn’t exactly go as planned.

Thank you, Maggie, for that perspective. I’d forgotten that you lived through a similar experience. It wasn’t perfect, but in the end, Mickey and Mike… Well, it was a beautiful love story. And they were father and son in every way that counted. Just like you and Alex. But I know why you’re not sure about moving back in here.

It’s not that I don’t appreciate your offer. I know. But right now this family is hurting. Which means it’s so important. That we rally together. Please?

Oh, uh, hold on. Alex is Grandad’s son? Wait, wait, so does that change who he was to me? No. No, no, Tate. You’re, you’re good. See, um, Brady’s your dad. And his mother was, um, Somebody needs to make a family tree. You know? Oh, now I really gotta go. Okay. Uh, pleasure to meet y’all, alright? Listen, love to Justin, okay?

Thank you, honey. Okay. Love you. Bye. Gotta go. Kayla, I just need to get this straight in my head. My grandfather announced in his will that, that Alex was his son? No, no, but there was to Victor.

A letter? What kind of letter?

Oh!

Wow, I thought that that briefcase was going to have, like… On the net for prison students. Anyway, it seems like there’s a lot going on around here. Maybe we should focus on this whole job thing later. Yeah, yeah, nice try. Do you think that uh, Aunt Maggie is going to share her new fortune with the rest of the family?

You pay for the sprinklers. Nah, again, that’s a really nice try. Mom, can you talk to dad about this whole dishwashing thing? Um, you know, actually, uh, there’s something that I have to take care of myself. Seriously? You’re leaving? Right now? Yeah, but you, you should wait here for, for Uncle Roman. You don’t need to stick around, do you?

No, we’ll be, we’ll be fine. Oh, really? I assume that Tate will be staying with you at John and Marlene’s while I figure out my living situation. Theresa, I gotta run and buy them first, obviously. Bye, love you, love you. Bye, love you. Yeah, thanks, alright. Did she say her living situation? Like she’s staying in Salem?

Shh. We hadn’t really discussed it. Right. Well, Stephanie told me that Theresa did mention it. And, I mean, now that I’m here, why, why would she leave? I mean, like, where else would she want to be?

So I get to eat here for free, right? Like, whenever I want? No. Not exactly, no. So I have to scrub dishes AND pay? Hey, listen. Listen. This is not the way that I would have chosen for you to come live with me, alright? But I want you to understand something. I am actually very happy to see you, and I’m glad you’re here, buddy.

And, and, and Rachel, my god, she’s still looking forward to seeing her big bro. I, I can, I can drive you there. Let’s go. How’s she doing? Thanks for asking. I’ll tell you, I don’t really know how she’s doing because I don’t see a lot of her since Kristen got custody. So, I’m her way in, huh? No. Tate, no. No, no.

It’s cool. It’s cool. We don’t have a house. Really? Where are you going? Where are you going? I haven’t, I haven’t been to Salem in forever. I thought I’d, I don’t know, take a walk around the neighborhood. Unless I’m on lockdown or something. No, you’re not on lockdown. It’s fine. I just, I would like for you to see your Uncle Roman so we can talk to him about this.

You can just text him. You can just text him. I’m gonna go. I’ll see you later, though. Have a good night, Dad. Yeah. See you in a bit. Whoa, that was fast. Oh, yeah, I had the bags in my car. We all knew Maggie would see us. Home sweet home. Yeah. You know, um, I was thinking that, uh, Well, I was hoping that maybe Alex might move back in.

I mean, now that the house is 50 percent his, I’m sure he’d be a little uncomfortable. Yeah. Considering he just ousted Maggie to take over as CEO of Titan. What? Mm hmm. Oh, no, he didn’t. Oh, no. Yes, he did. Yeah, I thought maybe he might get a little big for his bitches. I just had no idea it would happen this fast.

Yeah, let’s just hope that he gets over himself soon, before anyone

else gets hurt. Hello, Alex. Teresa, you’re back. How’s Tate? He’s okay. With his dad. You know, the guy who humiliated me in Greece, if not for you, who welcomed me with open arms, would have made my trip a total disaster. Well, I’m glad I could be of service.

Speaking of Greece, I, um, heard what happened, you know, with your great uncle’s will. It’s wild, right? I mean… Look at me. Yeah, right, I know, look at you.

And obviously I had no idea that that bombshell was in that briefcase that my dad gave me. You must be, you must be so overwhelmed. Yeah, a little bit. Are you taking care of yourself? Are you eating? Are you sleeping? Are you having fun? I’m doing my best. I don’t believe you.

I will tell you what. I’m free for dinner tonight. And I have been told that I give really good fun.

What do you say? So Alex is Victor’s son? Apparently.

I’m surprised Kate didn’t say anything. She may not know yet. Yeah, she probably got too much going on with her own son to worry about Victor’s. So, is he running Titan again? Yep. You gonna report to him? Yep.

Hey, listen, I know, um, the other night there was some weirdness. Yeah, look, about that. Like, like I said, my mom was pressuring me to tell her how serious we were. All he was saying when he walked in was that I could see myself getting married to you. Someday. It’s not like I was dropping a hint that I wanted to get married to you now.

I mean, good. But I, I, I… I don’t think we need to rush anything. I mean, I like the way things are. Don’t you? Absolutely.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, good. I caught you before you left. What are you doing here? I was about to change. I have an important meeting at DiMera’s today. Is that what you’re wearing? Just get out of here, okay? It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing because I am the one that’s going to be sitting in that meeting. Excuse me.

Well, now that Maggie kicks me out of Titan, the only place for me to be is by my son’s side.

That’s better.

Oh, Maggie. What are you doing here?

Hello? Hi, can I get some service, please? My boyfriend is lying in bed with a gunshot wound. Who do you have to screw around here to get a pillow fluffed?

Phew.

You. Oh, thank God. You’re finally awake. I could kill you for worrying me like that.

You bastard. Mr. DiMera, I hope you don’t mind your butler let me in. Of course not. I take it you’re here with some follow up questions regarding Dimitri’s shooting. Actually, just one. Why did you lie to me?

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

Well, hello, Leo. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t you hello, Leo me. I know what you did. Excuse me? Save it! Gwen told me about your diabolical plan to kill my boyfriend.

Oh, I didn’t realize you were still here. Oh! Come back. No, no, no, no, no. Don’t rush off on my accounts.

And you went through with it! Even after Gwen promised me you’d called it off. I did call it off. Oh, please. What, are you going to tell me that you had a change of heart with Dimitri lying in a hospital bed? You talk a good game, Kristen. What about all the horrible things that you have done in your life that you have never actually killed anyone?

Not that I know of. Not personally, anyway. And I really don’t think

you’re going to start today. For some measly money.

I did not shoot Dimitri. I swear to you I didn’t. I don’t believe you. But even if I did, and it wasn’t you or Gwen that tried to kill him, then who the hell was it?

There, there, Gabriella. No need to worry your pretty little head about business. Now that Mother’s here, you can just lie in bed and eat bonbons. Just like the real housewives of Salem. Ah, that rapier alimane wit. Although I hate to disappoint you, Viv. But no matter how much you try to charm us with your humor and your generosity of spirit, you are not going to take my job.

Is that sinking in? And I also wouldn’t get too comfortable in this house either. Gabriela, now that you’re my, uh, New daughter in law. Can I give you a little maternal advice? This ought to be good. Don’t underestimate me. Quaking in my boots. Well, you should be because I’m not leaving this house unless it’s feet first.

That can be arranged. I’m staying here, and if you get in my way, you’ll regret it.

Like I said, my wife and I were upstairs when we heard a gunshot. We came down into this room and found my nephew Dimitri on the floor, bleeding. Then we saw the weapon, the one that I showed you. Yeah, I remember.

We dusted it for prints. We found Dimitri’s. But, you know, what was also interesting is that we also found your sister Kristen’s prints on them, too. Great. Mystery solved. It must have been Kristen who shot him. Except that she didn’t. You see, the prints, they don’t even matter. As it turns out, because you know why?

The bullet that the doctors dug out of Dimitri didn’t match this gun. Dimitri was shot with another gun.

You were shot. Isn’t really much of a surprise though, considering what an absolute dirtbag you are. It’s bound to happen eventually. Excuse me? Oh, come now, don’t tell me that the bullet’s suddenly giving you amnesia.

Okay, fine. I’ll remind you. Shall I?

You lied to me. And you got me to marry you. So that you could inherit the von Leutschner fortune, all the while having an affair with my best friend. And that was a despicable thing to do. Gwen, I am so sorry. Oh. You’re sorry, are you? You’re sorry just isn’t going to cut it.

For this room.

Sorry. I didn’t expect to see you here. Vivian, uh, certainly makes sure to mark her territory, doesn’t she? Oh my god, that woman. I can’t believe she surfaced again. Yeah, it’s always such fun when she does. But now that we know that Victor did, in fact, have a will, I had the distinct pleasure of ousting her out of both the house and the company and taking the job of CEO back.

Right. Well, I’m glad to hear that Vivian’s out of the picture, and I wish I could have been there to watch you kick her to the curb. But… But? Victor… My father, he left me in charge of Titan. What? No. Yes, yes, he did. When he named me in his will. Which I happen to have right here.

You brought Victor’s will? I thought in case I needed proof that I had been named CEO. But you haven’t. Victor didn’t name a CEO in his will.

The other 50 percent of my estate, including controlling interest in Titan, shall go to my son. Controlling interest. So you see, Victor may not have specifically named me CEO in this, but he clearly spelled out his wishes. But Alex, he spelled out his wishes when he was alive. He gave me the job. He could have given you the job, but he didn’t.

I mean, don’t you think if he would have wanted you to be CEO after his death, that he would have mentioned it? Maggie,

I don’t know. Maybe he was in a hurry when he made out the will. Maybe he didn’t think it was necessary because he gave me controlling interest. What else? Which means I am in control. Please, no, don’t fight me on this, Maggie. Really. I have considered my options very carefully. I want the job.

So Dimitri was shot with another gun. Is that how you want to play this, Mr. DiMera? Because if you know anything about what really happened to Dimitri, and you’re trying to hide it from me, believe me, I will get to the bottom of this, and I will not hesitate to lock you up. Jada, Jada, you cannot lock him up.

Okay, he had nothing to do with this. Oh, really? Yes, the person that shot Dimitri von Leuschner was Vivian Alamein, my mother in law.

Lipstick? Wallet? Where’s my gun?

Vivian shot Dimitri? Quit this.

I don’t know who shot Dimitri. And spare me the righteous indignation, will you? You are hardly in a position to judge anyone. Considering that when you were screwing my nephew, you were screwing over your so called best friend. Oh, God. I think that high horse you’re on is giving you the vapors. We both know you don’t care about Gwen, only your share of Dimitri’s inheritance, which you blackmailed him out of, by the way.

So spare me the concerned gal pal act, save it for your bratty little daughter. Although, I don’t even think she’d believe it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go check on my boyfriend. Oh.

Gwen, darling, where did you find that? Darling, somebody left it out on a tray. Can you believe that? I mean, they really, really ought to be more careful. Because somebody could, um, really get hurt. And what are you planning to do with it? What do I plan to do with it? Um, I don’t know. I had a few ideas. I thought about what to do.

And then I remembered how Leo just wouldn’t shut up about that magic penis of yours.

So I thought, perhaps I could work a little bit of magic of

my own and make it disappear.

Please Gwen, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t. You know, I was thinking, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the old MP myself. Now, I will admit that I was equally infatuated with it, although now I’m not really remembering why. Perhaps… It’ll refresh my memory. Um, Gwen.

There it is. It really is a thing of beauty, isn’t it?

Hmm. I suppose, besides the title and the money, of course, that thing of beauty is why Leo fell absolutely mad for you, although I think you would admit that that is a pretty shallow reason to fall in love with someone.

I wonder how lovable he would find you. If he and Matthew Perry there were no longer friends. Help! Help! Sure, sure. Help! It’ll only take a minute! Gwen,

what the hell are you doing? What the hell are you doing? I am telling the truth! Look, I know, I know you want to protect your mother, but you are my husband! If I have to choose between you and her, I’m gonna choose you every single time. I am not gonna let you go down for your out of control, gun toting, lunatic of a mother.

Okay, that is not fair. My mother may be out of control at times, but she is not gun toting. Uh, has anybody seen my gun?

Alex,

I understand that ever since you found out that your father isn’t Justin, that Victor was your father. Your world has been turned upside down. Yeah, it has. And I’m still dealing with that. But that doesn’t change the fact that Titan is my birthright. Victor told me a while back he thought I had a killer instinct.

He knew that I was cut out for the top job. And I know what I’m entitled to. Is this payback, Alex? Excuse me? I mean, when I fired you. I mean, now that the tables are turned, is this your retribution? No, Maggie, of course not. Yes, it’s true that I didn’t agree with some of the things that you were doing to run this place, but…

That’s not why I’m taking the job. I’m not trying to act out of retaliation. I’m taking the job because Victor… It was my father. And this is clearly what he wanted. She can’t…

You can’t give that to her. It’s my property. Mother, you are not helping your case. What case? Dimitri was threatening my son. He was threatening to kill him. I almost went through that once before. I couldn’t endure it again. Besides, it’s not illegal to shoot someone in self defense. Okay, what my mother is trying to tell you, in her own inimitable way, is the truth.

Yes, Dimitri was trying to kill me, and Gabby. And he likely would have, and we wouldn’t be standing here right now had my mother not intervened. And that is why I had a hard time turning her in. And we also want to press charges against Amitri von Bleichner. Yes, definitely. You’re willing to testify this?

Absolutely. Yes, we both will. We can corroborate each other’s story. Okay, well this might mitigate your attempted murder charge. However, you lied to the police, and possessing a gun is in violation of your parole. So, I will be speaking to your parole

officer.

John, listen to me. I saw her with my own eyes. Susan is alive. No, no, no. I know we’d all been meant to believe otherwise, but… Uh, yeah. I’ve got to go. Kate just walked in. I’ll get back to you. Bye. Hey, sorry to barge in like this. Your assistant said you were on a break, though. No, that’s quite all right. Um, did you hear about Susan?

Yeah, yeah, I did. She’s alive. That’s good for her. Um, I need to talk about Phillip. Is he alright? He’s fine. I’m not. He’s leaving town. Who’s Chloe Lin?

Wait a minute! Gwen! Gwen! Put down the scalpel! Look, I am sorry that you feel betrayed, but this is insane. I can’t let you hurt him.

This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it’s gonna hurt him. No, it’s gonna hurt us both. I mean, hurt us, it’s gonna destroy us. And it’s going to destroy you. You wouldn’t be able to live with yourself if you did what you’re about to do.

Gwenny, you are not a violent person.

I know that you have had a hard life. And like me, you have gone to extremes at times to get what you thought you needed or to get revenge against people who have hurt you. But this, this is cruel, and this is out of character for you. Because you are a kind and decent person. And looking at you now, about to inflict this kind of pain on someone?

About to ruin someone’s life in the most horrific way? Even that look in your eyes, Gwenny.

It’s like you’re not the person I know and love. It is breaking my heart. You have no heart. You know that isn’t true.

I am not trying to make excuses, Gwenny. I’m not trying to make excuses.

And I am miserable. A lot of the time. And people don’t know that because I use humor. To cover up how much I hate myself. You’re just trying to you. No, I’m trying to make you realize that I never meant to hurt you. Ever. It’s my desperate need for love that caused me to betray you. And you want to get back at somebody?

Get back at me. Because I hurt you more than Dimitri did. You got that right.

You were supposed to be my, my best friend.

And Dimitri, well, yes, I’m used to romances falling apart, but you, you…

We were supposed to be forever. I thought we were going to grow old together. I thought we were gonna comfort each other, I thought we were gonna make each other love. I thought so too.

And then I did what I always do. I don’t know if this is therapy speak, but I sabotaged myself. Because I felt like I had finally found love. Found a way to be happy. And that made me horribly selfish. So I sabotaged the only friendship that has ever meant anything to me.

I wish we had been honest with you from the start.

I guess I was just hoping, stupidly, so stupidly, that there was just some way we could all get what we wanted out of this.

I know that words are cheap, but I love you, Gwen. You have added so much to my miserable life. And maybe I didn’t tell you enough, maybe I never said it at all, but I have always felt so lucky to have you as a friend. To have you as an ally. And I would be willing to do whatever I had to do to make it up for you.

Please, please, tell me that you are willing to let me try.

Please.

I hope you’re rotten hell, both of you.

Alex, when I learned that you were Victor’s son, as upsetting as it was to you and Justin, it honestly did warm my heart. Because I thought, now that Victor is gone, I can be there for you. Because I, I know that’s what he, he would want.

Is there a point to this or the point? The point is, you’re important to me, Alex. You always have been, but now seeing my husband and you, it makes me feel even closer to you. But I also feel, uh, I believe that if he would have wanted you to be CEO, he would have made you CEO. Maybe he wants the two of us to work together.

Maybe he wanted us to, to be co CEOs. Yeah, I, I just don’t, I don’t see that working out very well, to be honest with you, Maggie. I mean, we don’t see eye to eye on the way we should run this business. So, you’d rather simply take my job? No, no, and that’s… I heard… Like I said, I don’t see it that way, but obviously you do, so I’m telling you right now, if you’re not willing to just give up, willingly, I have no other choice but to just bring it in front of the board, because with controlling interests, all I have to do to get them to remove you Jada

was accusing you! I told you, it’s either her or you! You. Oh, so now she gets charged with attempted murder. You hurt Jada? That’s off the table! Oh ho ho ho! So now it’s only that I was lying to the police and violating my parole. Lucky me! Well, you brought it on yourself, lady! Are you just gonna stand there and let this wife of yours throw your mother under the bus?

Hey, Mother, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do about it now. Jada knows you violated your parole, and if she acts on what she found out here today, the U. S. Marshals are gonna be knocking down that door any second. Well, I don’t suppose there’s anything I can do other than leave town. Hallelujah!

Gwen, I got your message. Now, I know I gave you every reason to believe it was me, but I promise you I did not shoot Dimitri. Then who the hell did? Vivian Allemane. What? Why would Vivian shoot Dimitri? Apparently she walked in just as Dimitri was about to kill Stephan and Gabby. I’m here to arrest your husband.

Well, that’s the best news I’ve heard all day.

Calling a board meeting won’t be necessary. I’ll go. But I must say, I’m very disappointed. That I didn’t get through to you at all. I knew you were a womanizer. And that you tended to be grandiose. And somewhat full of yourself. But I didn’t think that you were so callous that you wouldn’t respond to what I said, which came from my heart about seeing Victor and you, how it moved me.

Look, Maggie, I’m not telling you that there’s no role for you at Titan. I’m going to need capable people. Yes, you will. But you’re right. Something tells me that you and I teaming up would work out about as well as it did the last time.

If you’ll excuse me, I need to read your husband his rights. Huh. Well, Dimitri’s

finally getting what’s coming to him. Yeah, well, he’s not the only one. Don’t you see what this means? We are going to get what’s coming to us, too. What are you talking about? Oh please, do I really need to spell it out to you? Apparently. Okay, okay, so listen. Dimitri is going off to Statesville. And someone is going to get the Von Leuschner fortune.

Wait. Gwen didn’t hurt you, did she? She came a little close for comfort. But, um, She didn’t draw any blood. How did this happen? Well, I had my gun trained on Gabby and Stephan. Then I heard a shot and felt a searing pain in my back. Wait a minute. Hm? You had a gun on Gabby and Stephan? You promised me you weren’t gonna do that.

I know, I know, and I meant it. After you left the mansion, I was ready to hand over the DiMera shares, but just before I was about to do it, Kristen walked in and pulled a gun on me. Kristen did this? No, no, no, she didn’t do this. Then who was it? Stefan’s mother. Vivian? I managed to get the gun away from Kristen.

I had it in my hand. Then Gabby and Stefan walked in acting all cocky. So you aimed the gun at them? It was an impulse move. And then Vivian walked in and shot me. Wait, if she shot you in the back, how did you know it was her? I guess I came to for a little while after that. Can you please focus on the fact that I nearly just…

I’m trying not to focus on that part.

But the important thing is that you are alive and now that the truth is out. We have nothing to worry about. Ahem.

I think it’s time the new Mrs. von Leuschner needs to pay her in laws a visit. Explain how poor, deranged Dimitri is going off to prison. Therefore, his new wife is entitled to his fortune.

You really think that would work? Well, why not? You’re still married to him, aren’t you? And you and Dimitri, you’ve fulfilled the conditions of the carter cell. Why shouldn’t they pay you? I’m not sure the von Leuschens would see it that way. Well then, you’ll have to persuade them. May take a little time.

And, uh, maybe a little fancy footwork. True, and I have always been good at thinking on my feet.

Yeah, I mean, honestly, there’s not really anything left keeping me here in Salem. I have the Spectator, of course, but that’s all tangled up with Xander, and honestly, that’s not a road that I want to go down again.

The only friend that I had was Leo, and, well, you

know how that turned out. Yeah, well, you always got me. Thanks, I think.

I don’t know, ever since I arrived here in Salem, it’s just been one bloody debacle after the other.

Maybe it’s time that I see what else is out there for me.

Perhaps a sizable inheritance.

Stefan, my dear boy, I would never leave you, but I have no choice. There you go. I think I’ll go back to Amania. It’s our home. It don’t worry about me. Whatever life throws in Vivian Al Lane’s way,

I will always rise like a phoenix. From the ashes.

So. Chloe and Philip are back together. No, I mean, I hope not. I mean Marlena, he got the help that he needed. He really did and he was doing so well, but it’s his obsession with Chloe that made him lose his mind in the first place. So. I mean, what if that happens again?

Philip is a grown man. And, and, Chloe must have believed that he’s changed or she never would have agreed to go to New York with him.

I suppose so. Okay, putting all of that aside. Honestly, I was really hoping that Philip was going to stay in Salem. Especially now, you know, and I suppose that was really, really silly of me to think that you know that he would want to be closer with me now because of losing his father.

Oh,

uncle Vic, I,

dad,

I really hope you’re not mad about Maggie.

But I don’t think you would have dangled this opportunity in front of me if you didn’t want me to grab the brass ring.

Detective Hunter, what can we do for you? Well, Mr. Stark, for once, this doesn’t concern you. Dimitri von Leuschner, you are under arrest for attempted murder.

Vivian’s gone. Thought she’d be saying goodbye to you for at least another hour. Honey, you’re really sad to see her go. You can’t tell me you were happy living with her in this house. It wouldn’t have been forever.

I’m pleased that was with the, the law on her tail. Look, I know she’s impossible. She’s my mother, and I feel bad for her. Yeah, that’s because you have a good heart. But that woman… Your mother? Misery follows her wherever she goes. Right. You may not see it right now, but trust me, I did you a huge favor.

Welcome to Global Airlines. You only travel in style. Better be careful. One never knows who one’s going to run into.

There’s my flight, it’s already boarding. Flight SK84 from Los Angeles has arrived at gate A57. Well, Salem.

Hasn’t always been fun, has it? Certainly been interesting.

There are things about you that I have loved. There’s also a lot of things I’ve hated.

I suppose you could say the same thing about me, though.

I promise you, it might be goodbye for now. You haven’t seen the last of this 16 from Geneva landed at number 8. Teresa! Teresa, would you hurry up already, please? Please proceed to baggage claims belt 2. Oh

you jets, I’m coming.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ava, what the hell are you doing here? I thought you were on the run. Well, now I’m back. And I brought you a little surprise. Not that you deserve it after trying to kill me. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Save me the phony denials, CJ. I know you sent that woman to Bayview to murder me. And that’s why I’m here.

To end this. Now. End it how? See for yourself.

Mother! It’s you, it’s me! Mother? Oh,

that’s baby! So it’s my

You’re leaving Salem. Do you mean with Xander? Aren’t you getting married after all? No, um, now that Xander knows that he’s the father of Sarah’s baby, what he and I had, um, is over. I’m sorry. Yeah, me too. We obviously can’t live together anymore, and there’s no way I can stay at the Spectator, so without a job and no relationship, there’s nothing really keeping me here.

Come on, Victoria. Please just nap a little bit so that mommy can rest too. Ugh.

Sarah? Kate! What’s wrong? What’s wrong is that you have dragged my son into this psycho drama with Xander Cook and now you’ve put a target directly on Rex’s back.

What the hell do you want?

You mean, what am I doing here? You texted me to come over. What? Talk about Sarah’s baby. No, I didn’t. But, Sarah, I don’t have time for your games and your crap. Just stop lying. I’m not lying. I sent you a text. Then who did?

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

What’s that? It’s a text you sent me. That’s not my number. I didn’t send that. If you didn’t send this, who did? I don’t have a bloody clue, but since you’re here, Rex, look, we should talk about the baby. My baby. The one whose father you’re pretending to be. There’s no pretend here. I am legally Victoria’s father.

My name is on her birth certificate. You think a line on a piece of paper is going to keep me from my daughter? No, but a judge will. Then I’ll show the judge a DNA test that shows clearly that I’m Victoria’s biological father and you’re just some pathetic loser that Sarah roped into perpetuating a fraud.

We have been over this. You can fight it all you want but there’s not a court on the planet that is going to award you custody. So get over it. It’s over. Move on. Never. So, what’s the plan, Anzander, hmm? Well, for starters, you’re gonna give up any claim that you have to Victoria, and then you’re gonna divorce Sarah.

Oh, I’m so sorry, Kate. I’m, I’m quite sleep deprived at the moment. What, what are, what are you talking about? Okay, don’t try to play on my sympathies as a mother, because you have put my child directly in the line of fire. The line of fire? Okay. You know, maybe you want to have a romantic relationship with Xander Cook.

That is your decision. But you have been finally woken to the fact that he’s a homicidal maniac. So I do not appreciate you using my son as your human shield. I mean, what do you want, Sarah? Do you want to see Rex dead? Is that it?

Nigel, you were alive, but I didn’t think it was possible. I, I, I have so many questions, I don’t know where to begin.

What, just, you know what, start at the very beginning, like I always say, sweetheart. You, you, you look good, you sound good, are you, are you alright? Are you okay? Are you okay now? Well, especially now love you. Mother, I’ve missed you, I’ve missed you so much. PJ’s car’s down. It’s time to make the move. We have to get that confession.

We promised rape bombs. Don’t worry about it. Hey, Susan. Susan, I’m really glad that I was able to get you reunited with your son back home, but, um… You think you could help me out? Oh! You want me to help you out? Okay, you know what? I could do a reading for you, and, you know, a poem writing, or an oral reading.

No, no, no, not that kind of help, Susan. Just… Maybe you could ask your son to apologize for sending that woman to Bayview to murder me. Oh, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. You know what, son? You’re going to listen to your mama right now. Now you are going to confess your sins.

Right this moment. And you’re going to beg Ava for her forgiveness. Hmm?

Where will you go? Well, um, my parents and Parker are in New York, so it makes sense for me to go there. You know, I just need a little bit of… Time to process all of this and figure out what’s next. Alright. Well, thanks for telling me, Chloe. You didn’t have to. I wanted to. What, you thought I’d just take off without saying anything?

Um, well, in the past you might have. I wouldn’t have blamed you. Yeah, you’re right, but in the past I would have worried that this kind of news was going to send you into some obsessive tailspin. But, like I told you last night, Philip, I know that you have changed and I’m not worried about you anymore. I’m glad.

I’m glad, too. I’m so glad that you’re alive, and I’m so proud of you for doing all that work to get better. And reconnecting with you has been…

It has been pretty great.

New York’s beautiful this time of year. Yeah, I know. And a change of scenery will be good for me, but I will miss you.

Miss you too.

Of course I don’t want Rex dead. What kind of a question is that? The whole reason that you didn’t want Xander near your baby is because you were terrified of him, right? You knew he was a dangerous man. You knew that if he was in Victoria’s life that she would never be safe, right? That’s, that’s right.

Okay. So, it was alright if my son isn’t safe, though? I mean, I, I don’t get that. I, I, it, this plan of yours for him to pretend to be the father of your baby, did you really think that you could pull that off? My, yeah, my hope was that it would, the truth would never come out. Okay, but you knew that it would.

And when it did, Xander would be out for blood, right? I mean, the thing is, I understand you wanting to protect an innocent child, but why would you do that and risk my son’s life? I mean, is that okay? You’d have to ask your son. What the hell does that mean? What it means, Kate, is I didn’t come up with the idea to lie about Victoria’s paternity.

Rex did.

We just got married, you idiot. Your marriage is a joke. She only did it to stick it to me. She did it because she thinks you’re a threat to her daughter, which you are. You guys are both insane. If you think I’ll ever do anything to hurt Victoria, you, on the other hand, I’d have no problem causing you a great deal of pain.

You need to get out of my face and stay out of Sarah’s life and her baby’s. And if I don’t? What are you gonna do, Rex? Are you gonna kill me? Of course you aren’t.

He’s not gonna kill you. That’s my job.

I’ve showed her confessions are good for the show. Now I want you to admit to Ava what you did. And I want you to call off the assassin, hmm? Now I’m alive, sweetheart. There’s no need for vengeance now. There is another

sitting duck waiting for you. Right here in Salem, in fact. Another tag at home. It was accomplice, Xander Cook.

Oh my God. What is it? That’s good. Good. Do you know what to I, I, I have to go. I, I, I just remembered I have a critical business engagement. Well, wait a matter of, it’s a matter of life and death. I’ll be back soon. I love you so much, brother. I’ll be back. I promise. Oh, I forgot about me getting into that boy’s bonnet to make him run out of here so fast.

What the hell are you doing? I’m gonna shoot you, then I’m gonna put the gun in his hand. You know Rex? I know he’s going down for murder. Whose murder? Yours. I’m sure somebody heard you guys arguing. Once they hear this gunshot, they’ll call the cops. By the time they get here, I’ll be long gone. You’ll be dead.

And this poor sucker will take the rap for it.

So, what are your plans? Uh, actually I don’t have any. Just taking it one day at a time. Though I’m sure my mother has my entire life all mapped out for me. I’m sure she does. Truth is, she can plan all she wants. Us karaoke says we don’t stick to the script. Like to keep things interesting. Oh yeah? Like what’s going on with my family right now.

It’s like that show, the one with Cassandra and Rhett. Body and soul? You watch that. I’ve had a lot of time on my hands. Anyway, it’s been wild. First, Vivian shows up out of nowhere. Announces she’s entitled to my father’s entire fortune. Then they find his revised will. Thank God. So she gets nothing. Maggie gets half.

The other half goes to my brother Alex. Oh, yeah, I heard about that. Alex’s victor’s son. Your brother? That must be strange for you. Well, he was always family. Now he’s closer family. Me, Bo, and Alex. Victor’s three sons. Though I’m not sure where I belong in the new configuration, but I’ll figure it out. I’m sure Victor loved you all equally.

Yeah, I think he did. And although my dad and I didn’t have the smoothest relationship of all time, I loved him too. Very much. I just wish I had a chance to say goodbye.

But, luckily… No! That’s not the right word. Uh, it should be… Thankfully. I get to say goodbye to you.

Don’t be a stranger, okay? I won’t.

Bye.

Don’t leave me. Do you think that maybe you would… Want to try to figure things out in New York?

What the EJ is onto us? I don’t know. Well, I know we just missed our one chance to get him on tape admitting what he did to me. I mean, we could, we could wait and try again. No. No, no, no. When EJ saw his mother, that was the time. We’re not gonna get another chance. Look, I guess it’s time. I guess we go back down to the station and tell Rafe the bad news,

huh? You know, to come back, and I’m gonna get Harold to make us some fried bologna and manny sandwiches. Oh, Susan, I don’t really have much of an appetite. Oh, no, no, no. You gotta try one. Oh, they’re so delicious. You think, you know, Harold, he makes that lunch meat so crispy just the way I like it. Yeah, Susan, I think that Harris and I, we’re just gonna head out.

Oh. But um, before, before we do go, I want to say one thing to you.

When I had you in that car, I was in a very, very dark place. And um, I was hurt, and I was angry, and I wasn’t thinking straight. And the issues that I had, they were with EJ, they were not with you. And I never should have dragged you into it. And for that, I was wrong. And I am truly sorry. Live and

you shall be forgiven. That’s what the Bible says and that’s what I believe. Thank you, Susan. Thank you, I really am grateful for that. And I am so glad that you are okay. Okay. Oh, hold on, hold on! Wait, wait, wait! What’s, what’s uh, next for Miss Ava Vitae? I

don’t know, I um, I guess they’re gonna send me back to Bayview. Oh, you

know, given what happened to me and, and Big Crumb?

I don’t have to do this. I’d do it if I’m gonna get paid. I’ll pay you. I’ve got tons of cash in the other room. I’ll just run and get it. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. I don’t think so. Listen, I know what you’re going through. I’ve been in your situation more times than I care to care. Not holding a gun on someone because I needed money.

I don’t need the money. I do this because I want to. I’m one of those lucky guys, I love my job. So someone hired you. Not back and guessing exactly who did that. Oh, and here he is. Hi, EJ. Come to make sure the job’s done right.

So, pretending to be the father of your baby, that was Rex’s idea? Bonnie Lockhart showed up unexpectedly to Rex’s place in Chicago and saw that I was pregnant and Rex jumped in and said the baby was his. So why didn’t you just tell her or anyone else that Rex was lying? You’re right. Yes, I could have. I could have.

You could have, but instead you decided to take advantage of his feelings for you. Well, hang on. I have always been completely honest about my feelings for Rex from the beginning. He knows that our relationship is purely platonic. Yeah, but you knew that he wanted a lot more, didn’t you? I mean, Roman and I just had breakfast with him this morning and, uh, well, he kind of laid out the, the whole plan, you know.

Even though the truth of Victoria is out, you’re going to stay married. He called me after he told you. He said that Roman was very understanding and that you were less so. Yeah, you’re right about that. Because even though Rex knows this relationship isn’t real, he’s going to do everything he can to win you back.

And you have him believing that the longer you play house together, the better the chances are that you’ll fall back in love with him. But we both know you won’t. I, I can’t predict the future, Kate. Can you? Yeah, in this case I can. Because you strung him along all the way up to the altar. You’re still feeding him false hope.

I knew there was something wrong with you and Rex right from the beginning because he was so secretive and he was so evasive about you. Two days in, before we find out about the birth of our grandchild that turns out not really to be our grandchild. But then again, all of it makes sense now, doesn’t it?

I’m sorry, Kate. I had to put my daughter first. Well, I’m not sorry. I need to put my son first. So you are greatly mistaken if you think I am going to stand by and let him take a bullet for you.

We have a deal, and I will honor my part by releasing you from your obligation to honor yours. Once I start a job, I need to finish it. Besides, this guy’s seen my face, and I don’t like to leave witnesses. Oh, there’s no problem there. I have a terrible memory for faces. I’m sure I’ll forget yours the moment you walk out that door.

You work for me. When I say the job is done, it’s done.

Fine. As long as I still get paid. You will.

I assume that you sent him here because of what I did to Susan. Why’d you call him off? Circumstances have changed. Oh, so?

Turns out my mother is still alive. Uh,

uh, come in, come in. Just, uh, take a seat, just give me a second, I want to finish this.

Okay, now what?

Susan? Yes! Susan

Delilah Banks! No, wait a minute, hold it, should it be me, or… Okay, I can just do confused, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. You’re alive. Oh my gosh. I’m not dreaming now, right? No, no, no. You’re not. You’re not dreaming. I’m real. I’m real. And if you don’t believe me, why don’t you come over here and give your good friend a great big hug.

So, Susan somehow managed to get out of the car before it blew up and, what, she’s been living it up across the pond? I wouldn’t say she’s been living it up, but yes, she survived the crash and has been in London this whole time. Oh my god, this is a miracle! Thank you, EJ! Well, thank you for coming here and telling me that.

I… And, thank you for stopping your goon from doing me in. Who are you calling? Who else? The cops. Why? Why do you think? I didn’t tell Ray Fernandes that you just hired somebody to put a bullet in

me. Sir Gray’s on a call. He should be back soon, I hope. He’s not.

Um, can you help me with this on, on my back? Yeah. Yeah? Mm hmm. Okay. Yeah, just go ahead and rip, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, just rip it off. Go ahead. Ooh. Okay. Um.

Thank you.

Like, I’m sorry we couldn’t get EJ to admit that he ordered that hit. Yeah. Me too. I was hoping it would help my case. And maybe even get the Salem PD and Rafe off my back. Maybe into my corner. Well, we may not have gotten the confession from EJ, but I mean, Susan being alive It’s gotta help.

Wait, wait. You were in London all this time? Yes, yes, I was, I was chained up in my ex hubby’s, that bedroom. I, I, I, until Ava Vitale and, and Harrish Michael showed up. Well, you must have done a wonderful job of helping them find you. Oh, yeah, I, well, but when they showed up to Edmund’s place, he took them prisoner, too.

But you know what? Thanks to Lord, we are all safe now. Yes, that’s all that matters. And… It’s a miracle, Dr. Marlena Evans?

Is being here and standing right with you right now. You so dang much. I’ve missed you too, Susan. Look, there’s something I just don’t understand. Uh, uh, so you, you crawled away from the car before it exploded. And, who found you and, and took you to Edmond? You know, much to my frustration and vexation, Uh, I still haven’t solved that one yet.

Doesn’t matter. You’re here now. With all the people that love you most in

the world. I like to say it. On hold. Are you sure you want to do this? Oh, I’m sure. And I’m sure Rafe would leave any excuse to lock you up. That is true. But I’m quite certain the Commissioner would relish the opportunity to put you behind bars as well. And what possible reason could he have to do that?

Well, the only reason you’re not in prison for kidnapping is that Rafe couldn’t find a witness to implicate you. Bonnie Kiriakis never saw your face, but my mother did. You have a point. Given the sheer hell you put Susan through, I have no doubt she’ll want to press charges against you. Unless… Unless what?

I could talk to her. Convince her to let it all go. As her one and only son, she’ll listen to me. But if I’m incarcerated, as you ratted me out to the cops… Forget it. She’ll get on the stand, tell a jury in extraordinary detail what you did to her, and then you’ll end up in a jail cell right next to me.

Despite Rex’s attempts at concealing the truth, you now know

that you’re a father. Do you really want to get to know your daughter in the visiting That is, if Sarah and her new husband would even allow it. But do you want to be free so you could fight for your daughter? So you can claim that little girl as your own. Well done, Counselor. You win. I do. Now, before I leave, let’s relieve, shall we?

Other guy was sent by the gas company to fix a leak. And I’ll talk to my mother, who will find it in her generous heart to forgive and forget. Alright, jackass. Wake up, nap time’s over. This may be hard

to hear, Kate, but… Rex is a grown man, and you need to let him make his own choices. Mm mm. No, it’s not about Rex making his own choices. It’s about me protecting him from a calculating predatory woman, and I’m never going to stop doing that. You’re using Rex. You’re using Rex to keep your ex husband away.

Look, I know that you’re worried about Xander hurting him. No, no, no, no. I’m also worried about you hurting him. And if you do, you’ll answer to me.

Get off me! Just put your right back down on the floor if you like. Dude, you did this? You used the baby to get me over here? Only to have some thug knock me out? I have no idea what you’re talking about. You hired somebody to knock me out! Don’t be ridiculous. No, no, no. We were talking about the baby. It got a bit heated.

You got very emotional and you fainted. Passed out. Shot. Hit your head on the ground. You’ve been out for half an hour. I know you did this. Because this is what you do. You hurt people. You knock them out. You kidnap them. You kill them. So I’ll tell you what, biology or not, you will never be Victoria’s father.

So do her and yourself a favor and stay the hell away from my family.

Chloe, what are you saying? You want me to move to New York with you? Okay, to be clear, I know that we both acknowledge that we have feelings for each other, but I literally just broke off my engagement and I’m nowhere near ready to jump into anything new, so if you did come, I can’t promise you anything, but I would still be really happy if we took this journey together.

And I think a change would be good for you too.

I totally get it. And look, I know I used to say I’d respect your boundaries and then blow right past them, but… I promise, Chloe, there won’t be any more of that. So, from here on out, nothing happens unless you’re comfortable with it. I know, that’s why I asked you to come. You’d really be okay with me tagging along?

At a respectable distance, with absolutely no pressure or expectations? I would be more than okay.

Then yes, I will accompany you to New York. Okay, great. So, this isn’t goodbye for us. But there are a few people that I need to tell that I’m leaving. Me too. Good luck with that. I’m gonna need it.

Yeah, I’m calling because I have some news. No, it’s not bad news. Nicole. Nicole, listen, I’m fine. I will be fine, uh, but I just don’t want to share it over the phone. So can we meet for lunch somewhere? Okay, great. Anywhere except the pub.

Hey, mom. Hey, sweetheart. I am so happy that I’m finally going to have a little quality time with one of my sons. I know how much you value our time together. So do I. Okay, um, I think I sense something here. I think I sense a butt coming. You know how much you value your time with me, butt? We’re not going to be having quite as much of it as you’d like.

Well, I think the worst they can do is send you back to Bayview. And if you go back, I’m going with you. Yeah, I don’t think that’s going to happen. Oh, it will if Dr. Evans says it should. Remember, I asked to be committed so nobody else could use me for their dirty work. Remember? Yeah, and I’m all for therapy, but I think you are way beyond needing to be locked up.

I’m sure if you asked Marlena, she’d just, she’d let you go. Or maybe I don’t want to ask her. I mean, look, we’ve been through a lot together. Almost killed by a fake nurse. Chained up by some crazy guy in London. There’s a lot of dangerous people in this world. And if you’re in there and I’m out here… Who’s going to wash my back?

It’s a nice back, by the way. Hey. I’m crazy. I’m not blind.

Mother! Mother, where are you?

Mother! Oh. Mother, I know you were here. There’s a bouquet of fried bologna mayonnaise in the air.

Where have you been? I just went to see my BFF M. E. M. D. Sorry?

My best friend forever, Marlena hmm?

I told you I had some business to take care of. Oh, more important than being with your mama who you thought you had lushed forever? There’s nothing more important than you, Mother. You know that. But now that all my business is taken care of, you have my undivided attention. Hmm,

this is what I’m going to find out from you, little shunny. When I was gone, did you behave yourself? Were you a good boy? Uh, I would love to say that I was, but where’s the fun in that? Oh,

have to your mom, don’t you?

Oh, I love you too, mama.

Stay away my arse.

Yes, sir, Xander Cook. There’s been a development in my case. Yeah, I just found out that Susan Banks is in fact alive and well. Well that does change things, doesn’t it? Changes everything. All of a sudden I’m a much more suitable parent. So, I want to sue for full custody of my daughter.

Oh, you will not believe what just happened to me. And I want to hear it, I do, but, um… There’s something I need to tell you first. What, what is it?

Sarah. It’s me, you can, you can tell me anything. Really, whatever it is, just, just, just say it.

I want a divorce.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What a relief they found my dad’s will, huh? So Maggie can move back in, kick Vivian to the curb. Better be careful if she hears you say that. She’s gonna remind you once again that she carried you in her womb. As if that means a damn thing. All it does is embarrass me, actually. Since she’s obviously a very bad person, and we are very lucky to be rid of.

Oh God, I wish I could say the same about the very bad person that continues to darken my doorstep. And especially Sarah’s. Xander? Yeah. He’s made it very clear that he has no intention whatsoever of staying away from Sarah. Or the baby.

What’s new with me, Mom? You mean besides everything? No, I haven’t had a chance to talk to Xander about any of it, cause… I, I haven’t even seen him. He didn’t come home last night. Wait, Mom, I gotta go, okay? Are, are you okay? Where were you? I’m so sorry. I, I didn’t mean to worry you. I slept the night in my office.

Yesterday was just such a crazy day, obviously. I, I needed time to process it. But I should have, I should have called you. It, I understand. I just, I didn’t know what to say. No, it’s fine. When you were gone, I did some thinking too. About what? About me moving out. I’m

surprised you took me out for detail. Yes, well, I appreciate you keeping an eye on the patient Ava Vitale shot, but I can take it from here. She’s my client now. Oh, I, I thought you were her client. Yes, well, certain circumstances dictated that the roles be reversed. I’m now representing her, and have advised her to exercise her right to remain silent.

Well, I’m sure she’s going to take your advice, Mr. DiMera. You mentioned there was another job you needed me for? I do. I was hoping that you could succeed where the aforementioned patient failed. I want you to find and to

get us out of here, Susan. Me? Yes, you. You’re the one who lured me and Harris to the big smoke with one of your, your little mental telegrams, right? So, so why don’t you try sending one of those psychic signals to somebody who can get us out? Yeah, can you, can you do that, Susan? I don’t know. Okay, well, you know, you need to figure that out real soon.

Because if you don’t, I’m pretty sure your ex husband, the crazy one, Edmund, he’s gonna end up shooting someone today.

Actually, the people that we’re looking for are under the impression that Susan Banks is still alive. But that’s impossible. I was told she was blown to bits in a car crash. Yeah, well, be that as it may, uh, we understand that they came here. What, to London? No, here to your apartment. I certainly haven’t seen them.

Well, they looked up your address just before they went missing. Well, that’s odd, isn’t it? Well, um, I will let you know if they show up. Alright, uh, do you mind if I have a look around? Well, actually, I do.

Edmund. What’s going on? What’s the problem here? The problem is, if I allow you to look around my flat, then you most certainly will find my guests. And I just can’t have that.

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

Is Ineva Vitale missing? She is. After shooting my client in cold blood, she and another patient escaped bathing into parts unknown. Hm. See? Not that you asked my opinion, but… I mean… Commissioner Hernandez, he’s headed out for years for you to get locked up. Why give him an excuse now to turn up the heat?

Oh, I’m not worried about Hernandez. And I’ve waited far too long to get vengeance from my mother, whom Ava Vitale has had people try and convince me is still alive. What? How could that be? It couldn’t be. So either Ava’s delusional, she’s trying her best to trick me into backing off. Either way… I want her dead.

You know,

I am afraid that my gifts do not work like that, Missy Moo. You know what? You want me to just broadcast the signal out into the neighborhood? You’ll never know until you try. There’s gotta be somebody you can reach. Okay, fine. Alright. Fine, fine, fine. So who do you want me to call? I don’t know. Scott Lanyard.

007 Paddington Bear. Oh, I do love that little bear with his little yellow hat and his blue coat. Okay, Susan, Susan, focus! Okay, just please reach out to somebody who can come here and save us. Okey dokey, Schmokey. But you know what helps? When you’re not yelling at me! Fine. I will be quiet. Oh, you know what?

And I’d also appreciate it if you don’t give me those dirty looks. And that goes for you too, Mr. Handsome Hair Shortcut. Okay. Ready or not, here I go.

You don’t think this is gonna work.

Did you see something? Susan. Susan, answer me. I, I, I, I, I, I, I didn’t, I didn’t get to see the message, I just, I saw this, this image, it hit me. What? An image? An image of what? It wasn’t, it wasn’t a what, it was a phone. It was um, oh boy, I saw Edmund, I saw him, it was vivid, vivid as days long. And, uh, he was, um, he was pointing a gun.

He was pointing a gun at your, your baby boy.

And who are these guests of yours? Well, quite coincidentally, they’re the two people that you came looking for. My mom is here. What did you do with her? Your mother? You’re Ava Vitale’s son? Yeah, I am. Then I’m sure you’re aware of what your mother did to my Susan. Kidnapped her and drove her off the side of a cliff.

Yeah. Yeah, I know what happened. Ava did her best to put out Susan’s light. And it’s a beautiful life that this world so desperately needs. It shattered my heart. Well, I’m sorry to hear that, Mr. Crumb. Well, I hope you don’t take this personally. But your mother hurt me deeply. And now, I’m gonna hurt her deeply by killing her son.

Well, hang on, Mr. Crumb. Okay? No one needs to get hurt here. Oh, I beg to differ. We can all see that you’re suffering. Oh, you can, can you? You have no idea what suffering is. Susan was my one true love. From the moment I first saw her, I knew I was gonna spend my life protecting her. Keeping her safe from this cruel world.

Yeah. Her loss was a terrible tragedy. Her death haunted me. Cast a pall over my every waking moment. Whenever I closed my eyes, all I could see was her face and her hair and that… perfect smile. The smile? Yeah, that’s what I love most about her. I mean, we were apart for years, but I always held up hope that we’d be reunited.

That despite our miscommunications…

It should take me back. I can’t imagine why she would have left you. Although she, this took my deep love and devotion for obsession. Because I said I’d do anything to take care of her. Even kill. I see. Oh. But she’s gone now. See, you don’t have to do that, Edmund. Okay, you don’t. Your life has value. It does, O’Shea.

Please, please just give me the gun, Edmund. Commissioned. I assure you, I have more than one bullet in this gun, and if you do not stand aside, sir, I have no issue shooting you first. And Ava Vitale’s impertinent son second.

My baby boy, Tripp. Is Tripp here? What? Um, it seems like, like he’s right out there in the living room. Oh dear God. And Krum hasn’t gone out? But yeah, old Krum is now and he’s not one to roll up the red carpet for uninvited guests. No. No. Tripp! Tripp! We’re back here! Tripp! Not gonna work, he can’t here you.

No, no no no. See, Edmund, he sound proofed this whole place before, uh, he locked me up in here. Yeah, of course he did. Yeah, and I just wish he me that because I screamed just like you, I screamed with myself, my, my voice got really hoarse, hoarse, hoarse, hoarse, hoarse, hoarse you know, and it, I sounded like I was, I was uh, Elvis on his 3rd encore on the, you know, Aloha from Hawaii via satellite.

Just stop! Stop talking!

Harris, we have to get Tripp. Please. Please, we have to get out there. We have to save him.

Well, Bronson, do you want the assignment or not? Look, you want the Vitali woman dead, I’ll make her dead. I just need to know where she is. She was a sitting duck in Bayview. Now, I don’t know where she could be. I’m working on locating her. But until that happens, there is another sitting duck waiting for you.

Right here in Salem, in fact. Another tiger? Who? Ava’s accomplice. Xander Cook.

Believe me, I totally get why Sarah’s doing this. I mean, anything to keep Xander away from her innocent child. I just, I can’t believe after what Xander did to E. J. DiMera’s mother. I mean, why is he not in prison? Or dead? Sarah doesn’t still have feelings for him, does she? You mean besides disgust? I’m just asking No, no, Phillip.

He lied to her over and over again. Even used her as cover while he kidnapped and terrorized Susan. I know all that. I also know you and Sarah have had your issues. Yeah, I still have a lot of work to do to regain Sarah’s trust. But Xander, unless he’s found out a way to resurrect Susan Banks from the dead, there’s no way in hell that Sarah’s gonna let him back into her life.

Or her daughter’s.

Hey, I, I know a lot has changed. I mean, I just found out that I’m her father to that little girl, but… Which makes me assume that… You want to try to work things out with her mother? I know that you loved Sarah for a long time and maybe you never stopped. I don’t love her anymore. She, she tried to keep me from my own child.

She put another man’s name on my daughter’s birth certificate. And I’m not saying that any of that is okay and you have every right to feel hurt and betrayed. That’s how I knew I had to tell you the truth about what I overheard. From Max and Phillip. Right. And in that moment, you proved that I can trust you, Chloe.

I know that our relationship is strong and

honest. I’m gonna fight, Sarah, for this baby. And, darlin I need you by my side when I do that.

Xander Cook kidnapped and terrorized my mother. Here’s the reason why she ended up in that car with Eva Vitale. Well, that sounds like he deserves what’s coming to him. But I gotta ask, is it safe? I mean, like, like I said before, you’re already under suspicion for what happened over at Bayview. This guy, Cook, takes a bullet.

It means there’s gonna be a lot of blowback coming your way. I’m prepared for it. That’s why you’re going to frame someone else. That makes sense. So who’s our fall guy? Someone who hates Xander Cook just as much as I do. Rex Brady.

You know, I have to admit, Chloe overhearing us talking about Sarah and… It’s really complicated things. I hope you don’t blame her for telling Xander what she heard. No, no, no, no. She just did what she thought was right. And, look, we both know secrets like that that have a way of coming out. So maybe it’s better we deal with it.

I hope so. Doesn’t make it any easier. No. Hey, Chloe didn’t just overhear us talking about Xander being Victoria’s father. Chloe also heard you say that you’re still in love with her. She did it. And how’d she take that? Better than I could have imagined. Really?

After everything I did to Brady, I never thought she could forgive me. Let alone consider being in a relationship with me again. But? But, Chloe admitted, when I came back to Salem, Her feelings for me came back too.

Uh, you want to win custody of the baby? Oh, no, no, it’s a long shot. I have a spotted history to say the least, but I’m a father, Chloe. I deserve to be a part of her life. So you hired an attorney? I had a preliminary discussion with the custody lawyer. She She said it’s probably a bad idea if I leave Salem right now.

I’m sorry, I know we are gonna go to New York and, and get married.

I do still want to marry you, Chloe. I don’t want to be with Sarah. Especially after what she did. I love you. I want to be with you.

I’m sorry, Xander. I don’t think I feel the same way anymore.

I don’t want to be with you.

I need to get to church. I’m not going to let that guy hurt your son. You’re going to be able to break that chain. Uh, maybe I can help? If Harris can’t do it, how are you going to help? Well, I’m just going to pray to God for strength. Prayer. Praying, praying, praying. That is your answer. Prayer is always answered.

So come, and we are going to pray to the Lord to loosen the weakest link. I’ll take all the help I can get. Alright, well you just work your end of it, Mr. Harrison. I’ll work mine. Okay.

Self destruct! Move,

Rafe. No! Touchdown! Both of us are being shot! Boy, it makes sense, Commissioner. Besides, this isn’t your fight. But you, Tripp. Is it? I’ll ask you to save a place for your mother in hell. And I give you my assurance, you won’t have to wait long.

Paris! Oh my god. What is going on up there? What if he doesn’t make it to him in time? Okay, hold on, hold on, Honey,

I mean, look the good Lord, he helped break the chains! Didn’t he? And, and now we have to pray that he’s gonna help Mr. Harris stop, Edmond, from pulling that.

You all right? Yeah. Gun was pointed at the ground when he pulled the trigger. Thank God. No, this is not right. Do yourself a favor. Sit there and don’t move. Mind if I hold the gun? Yeah. Where’s my mom? She’s fine. Follow me. Paris? Rafe. You don’t have to worry. We’re done running. Alright. Scotland Yard

will be joining us. In the meantime, consider yourself under arrest. I

don’t hear him anything. There was only one gunshot, and then… Harris, what happened? What was the worst trip? Oh my god. Oh my god, thank god.

Susan, you’re, you’re alive! Oh my goodness, it’s so good to see you, Dr. Joe Johnson! I guess you were right, huh? Yeah, I guess so. Why don’t I get you two unchained? Oh, yes, I’d like that very, very much, Mr. Michaels. Thank you. Um, you want to thank me, you can tell your son EJ to leave Ava alone. Okay. Um, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I can, I can do that.

Don’t you worry about Mr. Michaels. My Elvis, he’s such a good boy, and he’s gonna listen to his mama. Yeah, I hope you’re right about

that. Rex Brady has been presenting himself as the father of Sarah Horton’s newborn child. But it’s come to light that Xander Cook is her true baby daddy. Sounds like that could cause some serious bad blood between the two men. I’m assuming you don’t like this Rex guy either. I have no feelings about him at all.

But like you said, we need a fall guy. So Dr. Rex is going to have to be… collateral damage.

You and Chloe. I know it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for you two. To put it mildly. But… I have always believed that you two belong together. I won’t argue with you about that. But, I lost my way last time around with her. Obviously. My obsession took over and I did some terrible things. I wasn’t well and I hurt a lot of people.

Chloe included. I never want to be that guy again. Happy to hear that. Really? So what does this mean for you and Chloe? It means I’m sitting back and letting things happen the way they’re supposed to. Chloe knows how I feel. Now it’s up to her to decide who she wants to be with. Sounds like a good plan.

Because, you know, it’s crazy. Which part? That the women we love… can either choose to be with us, or that thug Xander. I have to say, I like our chances.

When I, when I didn’t come home last night, did you think I was, did you think I was with Sarah? Or that I’d just give up on everything that you and I have? I don’t blame you if you had doubts, Chloe. Well that, that certainly didn’t help, but this is not just about me. It’s you and Sarah. What’s it about, then?

Well, when you went to confront her, Philip came over.

And? And he, he said that he still loves me and that he never stopped. Well, that sounds like his problem, not yours. That’s true, but… Honestly, I have unresolved feelings for him. Since when? Since… always, I guess. You know, I thought he was dead, and it, it didn’t matter, and then, when I saw him, I had all these feelings come rushing back.

So, um, does that mean that you want to be with him? No. I, I don’t know. The way things ended with us was really ugly, and I would never want that back, but I Guess what I’m trying to say is that I need some time to figure things out, okay?

I, uh, I understand.

I love you, and I have loved being with you, Xander. Don’t you think that maybe we somehow ended up here because Sarah broke your heart, and I thought I’d never see Philip again, and if I’m, if I’m being honest, I’m not over him. And I think once you stop being so angry, you’ll realize that you’re not over Sarah.

So, what now? I guess spent one last night here, and… My old room. Tomorrow I will pack my things and I’ll go.

My God, it’s you. You really are alive. Yes, praise the Lord! Well, it’s you too, Commissioner. Well, I just can’t believe half the Salem came Ol Mike. Yeah, I just… I can’t believe that he held you captive this whole time. How did you even get here? Crumb said he got a phone call from someone who knew Susan survived the crash.

Yeah, and he said that next thing he knew, some guy showed up with an injured Susan. Who was it, Crumb? I already told them. I have no idea who the man was. Susan, you don’t remember? No, I’m coming to Blake. Blake, yep. Oh, yeah, but you know what? It really does scare the bejesus out of me to think that whoever grabbed me,

is still out there. Hey, boss. Everything set for today? Yeah. Yeah. But the techs are expiring now. Send him over to Cook’s apartment. Where you’ll be waiting? Where I’ll be waiting. Call me when everything’s done.

Mom, you’re not hearing me. I am hearing you. I am hearing you loud and clear. You’re planning on remaining married to a woman who is using you and letting you raise another man’s child. Sarah is not using me. We care about each other. A lot. And I already love her daughter as if she was my own. You know what?

Legally, she is. So my god, if dad can be okay with this, why can’t you? Because unlike you and your father, I am thinking straight. Okay? That little girl was sired by Xander Cook, and there is no way in hell he’s just gonna back off and let you pretend to be the father. I’m not afraid of Xander. Well, you damn well should be.

Hold on.

Speak of the devil. Oh, God. So what does he want to do? Squash you like a bug? He wants to see me. Right now. No. Rex, please don’t do that. Oh, no. I’m going. This is going to be the perfect opportunity to set that bastard straight. Rex, please! Later, Bob! Rex.

Well, I guess this is it. Yeah, um, we’ll figure out another time for me to come get the rest of my stuff. Anytime. You always have a place here.

I, um… I thought that you should have this. What is it? It’s the dartboard. You sure you don’t want to keep it? You went to such trouble hanging that thing up. Yeah, I remember. But if I keep it, you know, whose picture am I going to put on it? There’s so many choices. Sarah, Rex, Philip, mine.

Never give up, Star.

Take care, Xander.

You

too,

Chloe. All is in motion, father. Justice will be meted out to Xander Cook. And as soon as Ava Vital crawls out from whatever rock she’s under, she’s next.

Thank you, Ray, for letting my mom do this her way. Oh, I’m not doing it out of the goodness of my heart. And by all rights, Ava and Michael should be in a jail cell right now, or at least back at Bayview. Yeah. But you know as well as I do that, it was EJ who sent the woman to kill it. Yeah. Which is why I’m gonna do everything in my power to nail his ass.

Hello, Lee Chang. Ava, what the hell are you doing here? I thought you were… on the run. Well, I’m back now. And I brought you a little surprise. Not that you deserve it after trying to kill me. I have no idea who you’re talking about. Oh, EJ, spare me the phony denials. I know you sent that woman to murder me over at Bayview.

That’s why I’m here. I’m gonna end this. Now. End it how? See for yourself.

Hey, I got your text. Uh, yeah, thanks for meeting me. Um, there was something I needed to tell you. What is it? I’m, I’m leaving Salem.

Yes? Hey, sorry to bother you, uh, from the gas company. We got a word that there’s a leak in the building. Might I come in and take a look? Not really a great time, to be honest, mate. It’s a gas leak, sir. These things could be deadly if we don’t address them. How long will it take? Not long, I promise. Thanks.

How much do you want?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Marlena: You have a moment? We didn’t have time to finish our session.

Talia: There’s not much more to say. I pretty much told you everything.

Marlena: No, I don’t think you did. You didn’t mention that you had slept with my son-in-law.

Talia: I-I-I don’t-I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Marlena: When we agreed to good start therapy, we discussed the fact that you would be open and honest and forthright. So let me ask you again. You sleep with my son-in-law.

Talia: Yes. I did.

Jada: Here are my notes. Send in the report and I’ll drop off the gun with forensics. Wait for Juda.

Shawn: Um, you and I were good, right?

Jada: Just focus on getting your act together and we’ll see what happens.

Shawn: I will. I will. Until then, if this is-this is awkward to ask you, but, um…

Jada: Don’t worry. I’m not going to tell anyone that you slept with my sister.

Belle: You just did.

Rafe: Hey, Jada. Just calling to check in gives you in the middle of something. Anyway, Ava and Michael still haven’t come back to the hotel room. Local cops got a call out for tips. See if they can turn up anything. All right, give me a call and you get a chance. Bye. Freeze!

Tripp: Don’t shoot, don’t shoot.

Rafe: Tripp. What the hell are you doing here?

Tripp: What do you think? Hey, I’m worried about my mom.

Harris: Ava. Hey.

Ava: Hey, God. Are you all right? Yeah, I am.

I think I am. What happened?

Harris: It was Crumb. Poisoned our tea.

Ava: Oh, God, wait. Am I imagining things or did he say that he had Susan locked up in the back bedroom somewhere?

What in the world?

What do you do? You found me.

Oh, what are you doing here? Oh, well, selling me.

I was going to come surprise my husband and take him to lunch, but after what I just heard, I pretty much lost my appetite. Oh, I was just telling my mom that you and I had turned a corner in our marriage and that the worst was behind us. Well, I am so sorry that you found out this way.

No, don’t be, don’t be.

No, I’m glad I found out. Because you were never going to tell me where you. So tell me, am I the last one to know about this that you are cheating on me with Talia Hunter?

How did you find out?

Belle was just here. She’d been worried. Because her husband didn’t come back after attending his grandfather’s funeral. That he said that he had just had too much to drink, and so he had slept in yours and Jada’s room. And then you came in and said that you had had too much to drink. And you slept with a married man. Not too hard to collect those dots.

I’m so sorry.

So am I.

Worried?

You mean that you wanted to tip her off that I was on her trail? She’s my mom, Rafe. Can’t you understand why I want to help her?

Did you know she was staying here all alone?

No. Oh, well, we knew the names on the fake passports on Wendy was able to track her on Harris down. You got the key to the room, Hal? Just told the people at the front desk that I was her son and they gave it to me. Oh, it’s much for security.

Why did you just knock?

Because I didn’t think my mom would be too happy that I followed her here. Rafe, you’re so brave.

Where is she? Damn to find her. Her and Harris, they left their passports here yesterday. They haven’t been back since.

He did. He thought nothing that you guys were here and that maybe that’s my other stand away?

No. I think they weren’t looking for Susan Banks. Hopefully they didn’t get her in any trouble.

I wasn’t hallucinating you our life. Yeah, no thanks to you. Yeah, I know. I know and this is going to sound really lame. But I wasn’t in my right mind when I drove us off that cliff. You’re right. That does sound lame. I am so relieved to see you.

You made it out alive. Oh, shit.

Who are you? And what are you staring at?

Uh, names Harris Michaels. I’m sorry for staring, but the resemblance between you and your brother, it’s uncanny.

Oh, and how do you know Thomas?

You probably don’t want to know.

Okay. Show. You finally got machine nose and yet here we are all of us chained up. Some rescue mission this turned out to be. Hey, Susan, you know, it could be worse. Harris, here’s the next Navy SEAL. Oh, I take you long enough to find me. Susan, why, why did you send me the signals of all people? Well, because everybody else would have thought I was communicating from the great beyond. And why would they rescue you little old me if I was your god?

Actually, make some sense.

And I’m not an adult system. You would be highly motivated for me. Yeah, because you’re not responsible for a man’s murder if I’m not dead, right?

Yeah, and maybe when your son EJ realizes you’re not dead, he’ll call off his hit he has on Ava. His hit?

Yes. Like a hit hit? Yes, like a hit hit. What’s a hit hit?

He sent someone to baby you to murder me. What?

What are you going to do for real? I’m going to sit so touching. Oh, terrific. I mean, I’m going to slap that boy stilly when I see him.

EJ is the least of our worries right now. We need to get out of here. So tell me everything you know about this guy, Chrome. And why he is that?

Well, well, well. Look who’s finally awake. I’m famished, I’m sure. Oh, dear. Not a fan of kidney pie. Not a fan of being poisoned. Well, that shouldn’t be a concern. No, I have you both where I want you.

Okay, so let me get this straight. Your plan to track down my mom and Harris was to just sit and wait in the hotel room until they get back, even though they might be in trouble. I mean, what have EJ has already gotten to them?

Relax, Trip. Okay, I am working with local officials. I’m going to talk about the equivalent of an APB out on them now. Which, by the way, is the only information that I have to go on? Maybe if you’d have been a little more forthcoming.

Are you serious? You’re going to try to make this my fault.

Well, why did I have to trick you into telling me Ava thought that Susan Banks was alive? Did you not realize that that information could have potentially exonerated your mother? If it’s true? Yes. And if it’s true, EJ will probably call off his hit on her.

Yeah, but you don’t care about exonerating or protecting my mom. Okay, you just want to bring her back to Salem and throw the book out.

I want to bring her back to Bayview so she can get the help she needs. Her name is… Well, that’s great. Yeah, thanks. Yeah, just tell me the name again. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, come on my way.

None: What was that about?

Was that a me, my mom? Maybe. Come on, dude, you have to tell me. Go home trip. I’ll call you when I find her.

No, I’m not going anywhere. Okay. It wasn’t a suggestion. Either you leave willingly or I’m going to hank off you to the wall for obstructing a police investigation.

Why are you keeping us here? Why are you keeping her here? Susan hasn’t told you.

I thought you’d have told her is on fine now.

Well, I can’t explain what I’d still don’t understand.

Well, it’s perfectly simple, really. When my beloved Susan walked out of my life without any warning whatsoever… No warning!

I saw from the terrible arguments we had every day about how jealous, jealous, jealous and possessive you were…

No cause, no letters. As if she just dropped off the face of the earth. Until…

The newsreeler shared the crushing news that my beloved Susan was dead… Incinerated beyond recognition.

Spoiler alert! I wasn’t dead.

None: Hello?

Who is this? What do you mean Susan’s alive? Well, yes, I’ll do anything if I could see her again. Two men bought her here, half dead. For months I nursed her back to health. Okay, wait, wait a minute.

Who are these men? Who else knows that Susan’s alive?

You’re not serious. Oh, I am. I’ll cuff you right now. Do you even have cuffs on you? Yeah, look, Rafe, I know we don’t exactly like each other. We both want to find my mom and Harris and Susan Banks if she’s actually alive. I know I’m on better than you do. I know her habits and I know what she’s told me. I can help you. We’re wasting time. Yeah, we are.

Okay, fine. Okay, fine. Let’s go.

I’ve been…

I feel horrible about all of this. So you told me. But that was before I knew it was about my family.

I know, okay, and trust me, I feel worse because of it. I feel very ashamed right now. You’ve been so good to me, okay, and your daughter, she’s the reason I’m not in prison. I hope you agree that she doesn’t need to know about this. It was just one time and I promise you it’s never going to happen again, okay? You’re not going to tell her are you. As much as I can, I’m not going to tell her. I’m not going to tell her are you.

As much as I would like to. I am bound by doctor of patient confidentiality. But in my experience, secrets have a way of getting out.

No one else knows about this. My sister didn’t want anyone to know because she knew how much it would hurt you. Again, I am so sorry for all of it.

None: I’m going to take this down to prison.

Val, I love my name’s sorry. I will do anything or do anything to fix it.

Look, I know that we still have to work together and I know this is probably going to be uncomfortable.

Yes, it will. But I can behave professionally. Can you do that?

And I guess you can probably now agree that I need a therapist. I do. Of course. I just want you to know that you really need to know that you have to know about this. I want you to know that you really need help. I’m so sorry that I let you down. I deserve that.

None: That is the least of what you deserve. Well, I know you’re feeling angry right now and I know you’re feeling humiliated. Okay, you’re the one. You’re the one that did everything right now.

I’m not going to do anything. I’m not going to do anything. I’m not going to do anything.

I’m not going to do anything. I’m not going to do anything. Okay, you’re the one.

You’re the one that did everything right and I did everything wrong. Oh my God, please spare me the whole sad-ass victim routine. You don’t have any idea what I feel. You know, for the last few weeks, you’ve been dredging up everything about my past with Philip and EJ and throwing it in my face and all the while you were sleeping with Talia.

No, I was not. I wasn’t.

It happened one time. Oh God, I don’t care how many times it happened. It’s not the same thing. You and I were not married when I was with Philip. I was separated when I was with EJ. And you know, the only reason that we were separated is because you invited Jan to come live in our house and basically let our pregnant ask me out of my own home.

Okay, okay, okay. But we were married when you decided to go out and sleep with your professor back in Maine.

Oh, okay.

So we’re keeping score now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. It seems to me like you’re the one doing that. Just stop it. Listen.

I know that you have been going through hell with everything happening with your dad and with Victor. And I tried to do everything in my power to be there for you through everything. I was so supportive and I was understanding that you and gave you grace when you said you were going to quit drinking and then you didn’t. Even when you got belligerent and even violent and almost lost your job twice, I stayed by your side. They even went to a meeting with you yesterday. And what did they say? They said, not only do you have to be truthful with others, but you have to be honest with yourself too. And even then you didn’t tell me. You just lied to me.

It was because I knew that the truth would hurt you worse than you lied.

Yeah, of course it hurt me. It hurt me more than you could possibly know because I thought this was the one thing you would never do to me or to us. And now I know I’m living a lie.

Well, my doctor, the server who called in the tip. Sure enough, he was able to ID Eva and Harris from the passport photos. They were here yesterday. Okay, all right, did he say anything else? Yeah, he used his phone to look something up. Okay, but you did, of course I checked the search history. I looked up a guy named Edmund P. Crumb.

None: Who’s that?

I’m Corinne to the web. Susan’s first husband.

Okay, I’ll call Wendy and see if she needs to get an address.

Oh, this guy’s necessary. We got her right here.

I have in the foggiest notion who these men were or who their boss was. They just told me that nobody must know where she was because she was in danger of some deranged woman drove off the side of a cliff.

And this is your idea of keeping her safe, keeping her in this room chained up like a dog? Oh, hold on.

I mean, there’s a little bit more to it than that. You know, you see, when I finally woke up…

Susan, can you hear me?

Edmund. Yes, darling, it’s Edmund. You’re in London. I’m taking care of you.

Where’s my Russia?

Roger. Who’s Roger? His man is red. Your husband? He’s a need him, I need my Roger.

After all I’ve done for you, I’ve fed you and bathed you. This is the thanks I get. You want you, Roger?

Get in, Edmund, Edmund. I really, really do appreciate everything he does for me, but… I don’t love you.

I love my Roger. Yeah.

Oh, man. And that is how I ended up like this. Okay, you know what, Edmund? What are you gonna do? You’re gonna keep Ava in hairs here, too?

Wait a minute. Your name’s Ava. Ava Vitale, the woman that tried to kill my Susan? Oh, for heaven’s sake. Ava, not your children! Well, it was an inconvenience to have you to stumble on my little situation. And I wasn’t gonna hurt innocent people. However, now I know that you’re not innocent, I’m gonna have to do something to take care of you.

Cheetah, what are you doing here?

I came to check on our gunshot wound patient and also to warn you. Wearing me about what? James, I’m so sorry, Talia. But Elle knows about you and Sean.

Elle, I love you. I always have, and I always will. And nothing is gonna change that. What happened, Talia? It was a mistake. And it wasn’t because I wanted her. Okay, it was because I was drunk. And you and I just got into this terrible fight, and then, I don’t know, she was just there. Right.

So you just jumped into bed with a woman you barely know? Who’d just been through hell herself? Did it make you feel better?

No, no, no, it did not. I take full responsibility for everything that happened, and please, don’t go and blame her for this.

I don’t blame her for this. I blame you. Only you. Because this was your way of getting back at me, right?

What are you talking about?

Yeah, because you could never stand the fact that I had ever been with anyone else, and you have just been dying for a reason to hurt me the way it hurt me.

No, no, that’s not true.

Yeah, it is. That’s how you use the past to justify training on me. No, I’ve…

No, there’s nothing that justifies this. Nothing. I know that. You know what? I guess if I’m gonna be truthful here, I guess that… You know what? You’re past. It did in some way, it… it justified what happened, you know? Because you know what? I think that if I were to forgive you for everything that you did, I would think that you would be able to understand and forgive me.

Well, I don’t understand, Sean. And I don’t forgive you either.

Well, just… Please, how I swear to you, I won’t do anything. Anything that I can do with the Fixals, just tell me I swear.

There’s nothing you can do. Nothing.

Susan? What do you think Edmund’s gonna do?

What? I haven’t focused. Does he have a history of violence? Well, yeah.

Well, what? Well, what, huh?

I mean, look, he’s prepped a chain gap here for months, so obviously he’s got a screw loose somewhere.

Okay, I shouldn’t talk. I know that, but come on. I mean, if he was gonna kill us, he would have killed us by now, right? Yeah, we probably. Everybody didn’t know who you were until just now, but… Charlotte, freak you out, but you did, Hess.

And you really didn’t answer.

Okay, time, time, time, time. I will answer. All right, let’s see. Weird, Edmund, pay crumb. Kill someone out of the blue for no reason. No, but… For what?

None: What?

I really has killed before.

Yes, can I help you?

So you’re saying crumb committed murder?

What? I mean, what he thought he was killing Christian to protect me? What are you talking about, Christian is still alive? Well, I know that. I know that. Hey, that’s okay. See, he mistook my late sister Penelope for Christian. I mean, they said so much alive. Anyway, okay. You know what? And then she and Edmund… Well, they got into this nasty, nasty struggle, causing Penelope to tumble into the swimming pool and causing Edmund to push her head under the water. Yeah, and that was the end of Penelope.

Okay, so what do you say?

I guess what I’m saying, Mr. Harris, is that if he’s done it before, then… Yes, I think he’s capable of killing a kid.

Edmund, the crumb? Yes, you are? Commissioner Ray Fernandez, Salem P.D., USA. And this is my… Soap seat. Trip Johnson.

The Salem, did you say? Mm-hmm. That’s where my late wife used to live. Where she died, so I heard. What a coincidence. For sure. Yeah.

How may I help you? Right, yes. So we’re looking for two Salem locals who have gone missing, and, uh, well… They have reason to believe that they’re in London. So… You see me there, these… There you go. These two people?

That’s her. That’s the woman that killed my beloved Susan. I thought she was in a mental institution. Yeah, she was. But, uh…

She escaped.

It’s terrible. The woman that killed my Susan shouldn’t be running around free. She’s a minister society. She shouldn’t even be alive.

We were in the interrogation room together, and I didn’t think anyone was going to walk in.

Let alone Belle. I thought the conversation was between us. Why would you talk to Sean about it?

Why, I hadn’t planned on it. But it’s just the moment I saw him, and after we talked, I just… I had to confront him. I mean, you were vulnerable, and he took advantage of that.

Jada, he was vulnerable, too. Okay, he didn’t force me to do anything. I’m just as responsible as he is from what happened.

I know, but it’s just… Please.

Listen, okay, you cannot let what happen, and if you’re with your work relationship. Sean… Sean is a good guy. Okay, he went through hell, and he made a huge mistake. Both… Both… He and I did. Yeah, but I just…

I hate that it’s all coming out like this.

Well, it was going to come out eventually, wasn’t it? I suppose. Look, I… I just hope that you don’t look at me differently because of this. Oh.

Talia, I love you, okay? I am not judging you at all.

Thank you. Thank you for never giving up on me, and for always being there.

There.

None: Anytime.

God, I have to get out of here.

Okay, let’s go home.

I don’t want to go home. I don’t want to be anywhere near you.

This old… What is it that you’re saying? Well, why are we supposed to go from here then?

I have no idea, but I know I want you to leave me alone. Aw, fuck!

None: directions I know. Question. fallen disagree. I Oh I’m sorry I this you’re very sweet girl, but this is look this is my fault. No, okay. It was me too

Look, I know there’s a lot more for us to say But I’ve got a got a tell bell worm so There’s any way that you know, you could just not say anything about last night just until

Figure out what I’m gonna say to her. Yeah, I understand. I won’t say a word

How to go with Chanel

Chanel. Yeah, did you like the flowers? Oh? I don’t know Chanel and I are seeing each other anymore. What? Yeah, she decided to get back with your nephew Johnny. Oh

God, and I just made it so much worse by bringing it up. I’m so sorry. No, please don’t apologize

You’re the last person who should be sorry

That’s pretty I’m I’m so sorry

No, no, I’m good

Okay, well, I I spoke to Dr. Brady at the hospital and it looks like the meat tree vine bushener is in recovery So that’s good. I guess Also, I just heard from Ray Fobidigo that he got a lead you might have a good lead on able to tally and hear his michaels

Oh my god, I’d been thinking some of danger. He’s gonna kill me

Your nickers in a twisty twist. I mean we did not know that for a fact Oh, we know enough we need to find a way out of here. Hey, we’re gonna get out of here

I’ve been in much worse spots than this. Yeah, so if I show hip, I Promise you For that creep touches a hair on your head You have to kill me first

Yeah, well actually the people that we are looking for are under the impression that Susan Banks is still a lot

But that’s impossible. I was told she was blowing up in the car crash

Yeah, well me that is a may. We believe that they came here Here to London
