THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Great for work. Although am I ever looking forward to getting out of here. I do appreciate how hard this must be, but The treatment is essential to your recovery plan, as you know.

I know, I do know that I am literally radioactive. Mm hmm. And, uh, Sarah, aren’t, aren’t you worried? I, I, I mean, uh, whatever I got inside of me is definitely dangerous to babies, no? Last thing I would want is to hurt your little one. I really, really appreciate your concern, but I am taking all the necessary precautions.

And, as you progress through your treatment, the amount of radiation emitted decreases significantly. So now, how are you feeling? Oh. Not bad, honestly. Aside from a bit of nausea. Hmm, maybe more than a bit. Alright, we can get you something for that, that is no problem. Done. Pharmacy will have that up to you ASAP.

Anything else? No, nothing, nothing that I can think of. Except, except to say, Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m so very grateful for all the wonderful care that I’m getting here and especially from you. It’s my pleasure, Paulina. I want you to take this time to rest and hydrate. Oh, and uh, Gabe gave me this to give to you.

Now you just remember if you need anything, I am a call button away. Okay.

Maggie, I cannot thank you enough for opening your home to me. You have saved me in ways nobody ever has. But it would seem my time here is truly done. Constantine, no. That can’t be. I don’t want you to leave. Well, the truth is, leaving you will be very hard for me. Don’t, Constantine. There must be another way.

Well, perhaps there is. What a

day this has been. I am in a bad mood. And so I’m elixir of the gods.

This place is chaos 24 7. Too many guests. Too much drama.

Too many babies yowling. Children stand beating up down the staircase.

And cookie crumbs and everything.

Well, now it’s time for me to relax with a really good book. Ow!

Okay. Where’s the oxygen? Come on, there’s nothing to it. When you said that we were going to go for a hike, I thought you meant a brisk walk around the property. I didn’t think you meant the Oregon Trail. Yeah, but I wanted us to get the full experience. You know, I mean, we were so close to that amazing park.

I mean, I couldn’t believe how stunning that overlook was. Yeah, it was amazing. But nothing is as stunningly beautiful as my wife. I’m sorry, your what? Oh, my, uh, my wife. One, one more time. My wife.

Our favorite, Italian wine. Let me guess.

This is, uh, Castello di Monsanto Chianti. Wow. I am impressed that you remembered. Yeah, and I remember where we discovered it. Mm. Cafe Torino, right? Yeah. Everyone there, they were so friendly. Signore, Signore. Benvenuti. We were there for like seven hours just eating and drinking and talking. Ah, and eating. Uh huh, yes.

Yeah, I’m still working that off. I think we went through two bottles of wine that night. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I can still smell that bread. Wait, wait, I think I actually do smell that bread. Johnny, you did not. You didn’t think that I wouldn’t have our favorite dinner set up for tonight, did you? Oh, stop! And, that sauce.

You made that sauce? Mm hmm, salsa bolsa nina. I, uh, cooked it at the house, brought it up here with us. It’s heating up as we speak. You’re the best. No, I am married to the best. To our honeymoon. To our honeymoon.

Well, thank you for showing my card to our favorite patient. You are very, very welcome. You can visit her virtually. You’re not going to throw me into her room with a hazmat suit? It’s against hospital policy, unfortunately. Ah, I figured that. Let’s go get you set up. Alright. So How is she doing? I mean, how is she really doing?

Paulina tends to put on a brave face. Yeah, I’m very aware of her tenaciousness, but She’s doing really great. She is. We’re gonna scan her, um, in a few days and see what her radiation levels are. And if those levels are good, then she can leave isolation. So, right now, her only job is to rest and stay comfortable.

God forbid she stop working. But, that’s what makes her the best. Yes. Well, still, I do hope she takes this time for herself. You know, she lets her body recuperate after the recent trauma and surgeries. But I also know Paulina. So do I. Well, I think if anyone can break through, you’re the man for the job.

Let’s see what I can do. I’m so sorry. Thomas! Why were you running in the house like that? Were you on your way to play a soccer match in the atrium? I wouldn’t doubt it. Oh, no, I’m, I’m sorry, Julie. We were, uh, we were playing hide and go seek. Ah. Um, it’s a huge house, so if you, uh, if you play right, you can stay hidden for quite a while.

I should have tried that. Yeah, we’re, uh, a bit on top of each other here, aren’t we? It’s the weather, too. That’s right, Thomas. You know, nobody saw that cold front coming through, but it’s a brave new world. Rotten weather everywhere. To think I dreamed of going outside the house for just a few hours today.

We were going to try to get to the playground to burn off some energy, but best laid plans, right, buddy? Did you apologize to Julie? I’m sorry. Darling, it’s just wine under the drawbridge. I’m just glad it was white. Not red. I can get you a refill if you want. No, I don’t think so.

Constantine, how can I help? Well, it is difficult to get a work visa because of the quotas. Add to that the fact that I have no specialized skills or no family here to sponsor me. Joining the U. S. Army is obviously out of the question. So the only other option I can think of is, well, I have brought it up before, but I am reluctant to even mention it, the possibility of it.

I assume you’re talking about marriage. I am. Yes. Well, won’t that send up a lot of red flags? I mean, I mean, wouldn’t they see right through that? Perhaps you are right, yes. On the other hand, hmm, I have access to the most brilliant and ferocious lawyers in the country. Some Hmm. Let me, uh, let me get them to look into this.

As always, you are far too gracious, Maggie, and generous. We can get through this, Constantine. We’ll find, we’ll find a way to extend that visa. Oh, there they are. Sleeping beauty. And the beast. My little sweetheart. Oh my goodness. Oh, Xander, I can’t tell you how happy I was when I spoke to Sarah. She told you the good news.

Yeah. And what good news is that I have been fully exonerated of the attempted murder of Harris Michaels health. Charges against me have been dropped. Hey, congratulations. You are a very lucky man. Luck had nothing to do with it. I was innocent. The truth was on my side. Yeah, and we knew that for sure.

Although maybe luck is with me today. Meaning? Did I just hear that you’re having visa trouble, Constantine? Do you need a ride to the airport?

Well, I guess somebody owed dues to the Clean Plate Club. And we still have dessert. I like spoiling you. Do you remember that panforte we had after we got married the first time? Oh, it was divine. That entire trip was molto bene. Perfecto. You know what I think we should do? I think we should stop talking about how much we love Italy.

And just go back to Italy. Yeah, we’ll, we’ll get there, okay? But right now, I’m just really loving being here. In this cabin. With my handsome, thoughtful, sexy husband.

How about we skip dessert? I see where you’re going with this. And I like where you’re going with this. But first. I want to show you something that I think you’re going to get a major kick out of. Okay. Okay. Okay. I’ll be right back. Okay. It’s

really getting cold out there. Okay. Here we are. Well, what are we, jousting? Ha ha, very funny. No, we’re going to make some s’mores. Yeah, now who’s being funny? No, I don’t think so.

All right, here you go. All right, thank you. for setting this up. Yes, I’m about to start my break, so just take all the time you need. You sure? I am. I’ll let you get to it. Holler if you need anything. Oh,

oh, one sec. I’m just finishing up a text. You know, the work day ended hours ago, Paulina. Well, maybe so. That may be so. But I have an unholy backlog of e mails, reports, and spreadsheets to go through. Oh, oh. Plus, my favorite council person has to stop pestering me about that funding bill. Tell McPherson to be nice.

He’ll cut that bill in half, and if that doesn’t work, call JP. Abraham! I’ve got this. I can do this job no matter what’s going on with me. And don’t you forget it.

Won’t it be lovely when we can just go home again? But for now, I’ll settle for a full glass of wine and a good book. And now we’ll be mindful with, uh, with the hiding. I’m sorry again. Thank you. Good night.

Start counting! Okay, only if you promise to, uh, slow down in the hallways. Fine. And, stay out of the bedrooms. Alright, those are private areas, we have to respect that. Okay, whatever! No, start counting, please! No, no, no, no, whatever. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. 16. 17. 27. I was just telling Constantine, I have my lawyers looking into extending his visa.

Why? Constantine has come to enjoy this country. And I want to make sure that he doesn’t feel like he’s being rushed to leave. He should be able to choose when the right time is for him to go back to Greece. The right time for him. Thank you, Maggie. Your generosity is boundless. I don’t know how I will ever be able to repay you.

Maybe a couple million ways. Sander? He could at least consider when he might have won his welcome and exit graciously. You make an excellent point. But the beauty of this country, as I see it, is home is wherever I may lay my head. In theory. Let’s be honest, Constantine. We all know that you can’t go home because certain factions of a certain criminal syndicate in Greece have made it very clear that you can never go back.

Look, nobody is saying there won’t be logistical issues. Logistically, that’s quite the euphemism, Maggie. Okay, look. I know when the time is right, I have no doubt that Constantine will be able to return to his homeland. I thank you very much. Those words mean the world to me, Maggie. I so look forward to going back to my village and I look forward somehow, someday, to be able to take you back to that beautiful corner of the world.

Don’t think Maggie’s going to have much time for traveling, though. Sorry, I was mentioning the You’re considering maybe returning to work at Titan? Yes, I am. I was considering it, yes. Titan would be lucky to have you. I could not agree more. So, um, now that, uh, your nightmare is over And behind you, what’s next for you, Xander?

Have you given any thought to returning to Titan yourself? Oh, yeah, I gave it some thought, but I don’t know, I think I’m gonna have my hands full at the Spectator. Hoping to use my position there as a platform to better serve the public’s best interests. You know, keep the citizens of our fair town informed of all the latest news.

Oh, she’s teasing. Oh, baby, baby. Take care, sweetheart. Perhaps a little whiskey on the gums? Yeah, I don’t think so. Um, you know what? I remember the last time that Sarah was here. She left a TV ring in the freezer. I’m gonna go get it.

You certainly has a set of lungs, or a dozen chains. Victoria! Soprano, echoing through the corridors. Uh huh. Kidding tones. Right. Maggie. You know I love you. Uh huh. And I’m eternally grateful for your hospitality, but I gotta get out of this place, if only for one night. Is everything okay? Everything’s wonderful.

I love everybody. Everybody loves me. But I cannot continue to be Miss Congeniality unless I have a break from this. Okay, I understand your feelings. More than you know. Ha! I love family life. I love the family. I just, I’m pining to be in my own house. Do I sound like an ungrateful grumpy old grouch? No, of course not.

You just sound human. So go read, watch a movie, sleep in. Thank you. Thank you. Do me a great favor. Keep an eye on Doug. He’s already gone to bed for the night. Of course. Okay. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll write him a note and say I’ll be by sometime tomorrow. Afternoon ish, and I’ll just go up and pack a bag. Well, spread your wings and fly, my dear friend.

I don’t even know where I’m going. Who cares? But I’m going, and I’m gonna have a lovely time. Paulina, my love, you can do anything you put your mind to, but I want you to rest and get back to full strength. So I just sit on my hands, even after getting a message that EJ has called a press conference for tomorrow without any notice to my office.

Which, which reminds me, I have to call him. You mind if I ping you back in a few minutes? Okay. No problem. Text me when you get back online. Love you. Love you too.

Paulina Price for EJ? No, I’m afraid it can’t. Could you, uh, put him on the phone now? Yes, I realize what time it is. Yes. But I am the mayor and your boss needs to remember that. I am responsible to the people of Salem and he reports to me on their behalf. Yes, please convey that and my expectation of him returning this call immediately.

We need to discuss some, some serious, serious, serious several pending issues. Starting with that press conference that he’s planning. I will be awaiting his call.

What’s wrong with s’mores? Okay, you have the other charred goodness of the marshmallow. You have the chocolate, the flaky crisp graham cracker. It’s a classic dessert. It’s American. It’s an American staple. Yeah, I agree. My problem isn’t with the dessert. It’s with those sticks. I found these when I was putting supplies away and I found the marshmallows.

Johnny, those sticks are dirty. Oh, come on. We’re, we’re in the woods surrounded by nature. These sticks, these sticks were foraged. Okay, bequeathed to us by mother nature herself. Well, agree to disagree. Fine.

All right, now please accept this confectionary treat and get to roasting. These marshmallows are not going to roast themselves. Okay, well, happy wife. Happy life.

And will you look at that? Not only is she settled, she’s actually smiling at me, aren’t you, darling? I found the ring. Thank you, Maggie. But as you can hear, no more screaming. Our little angel has decided all is well, nothing to complain about anymore. Well, that’s good. But I’m gonna give you this anyway in case our little angel decides that all is not well.

Thank you, Meg. Okay. Uh, hi. Hey! Anybody seen Thomas? Kid’s like an Olympic level hide and seek talent. No, I haven’t seen him, Meg. Okay, well then, uh, I continue the hunt. Oh, hey, before you go, um, can we chat? This is work stuff. Uh, yeah, yeah, gotta make it quick though. I don’t want the kid hiding in a closet or something too long.

Totally understand. Just be a couple minutes. Well, this is the perfect time for us to take an evening stroll, shall we? We’ll let the, uh, boys talk shop. Yes, will you excuse us?

Hi mama. Janelle, oh my sweet baby girl. Are you good? Oh, much better now that I’m seeing your beautiful face. Oh, sight for sore eyes. How’s the radiation going? Ah, honestly, well, never had so much fun. Stop. Oh, feeling like I’m 18 years old again. Oh, did I say 18? I meant 118. Yeah, well, don’t make me start worrying about you.

I was joking. I am fine. How’s the nausea? Oh, nausea I can handle. It’s the isolation that’s got me hanging off the chandelier. Shout out to Syl! Right. Oh, but enough about me. How are you? Well, the woods are beautiful. And, um, it’s really peaceful here. And it’s been great. Just, you know, decompressing. I’m fine.

Well, you needed a sweetheart. It’s been a crazy couple of months. Ah, but, now go, go, get back to honeymooning with that handsome husband of yours. Okay, Johnny sends his love, and I do too. Send mine back. And please, please, please, let us know if you need anything. Oh, I will. Take care, darling. Bye bye.

What? What the? That isn’t going to work for me at all. This stinks.

No, can’t give up. Gotta win this.

Oh, so cool. So I take it you’re, uh, you’re not a very big fan of Constantine.

Kind of an understatement. I thought he was, uh, redeeming himself. He’s been pretty good with the kids since we moved in. Yeah, so I’ve been told. Hey, uh, any progress on the repairs at the house? You change the subject very fast. Um, yeah, repairs are, uh, are going well. So what’s up? You wanted to talk about work?

I did, yeah. Well, I just wanted to give you a heads up that now that I’m a free man, I plan on being more present at the Spectator. That’s great. Especially because we’re poised to break some pretty big stories this cycle. Fantastic. How’s, uh, Everett been doing? Um, you know, he’s a, uh, he’s a strong investigator.

He’s got great instincts, but he has been distracted with some personal stuff lately. So, uh, yeah, I don’t, I don’t want to get into it. Uh, anyway, I could really use the help. Well, I have a story for you. Shoot. The way I see it, the cops might not be too interested in finding out who framed you, I certainly am.

Sounds like a great series for the paper. You want to run with it? Damn right I want to run with it. I want to fly with it. But, uh, about your brother’s arrest, I’m surprised that we didn’t have a bit more coverage of that. I mean, I thought you’d have had the inside scoop, no? Right. Well, look, I’m not going to make excuses for my, uh, for my brother, but I think he made some choices based on some threats that were made towards Gabby, and, uh, and I suspect that you or I would probably do something unexpected in the name of love.

Be that as it may, I don’t know, I thought maybe with you having one brother on one side of justice and one on the other, that you could at least provide a little bit more insight. Yeah, no. Uh, uh, no. I made a conscious effort to stay out of my family’s business for my mental health and my children’s safety.

Uh, but hey, if you want to get your hands dirty, go nuts. You know, my other brother, the uh, inimitable EJ, he uh, he’s got a press conference that he’s holding tomorrow. What about? I don’t know, I tried to figure out the topic, but I’m gonna be there though. Well, maybe I’ll join you. Can you text me the details?

I will. Great. Well, I should probably get this one home. Great, uh, and I should probably, uh, wrap up this game of hide and seek. Get the kids to bed. Uh, we’ll talk tomorrow? Less. Great. And hey, Chad, good luck finding Thomas. I’m gonna need it. Dad? This place. Your home, it truly is magical. Each day I’m allowed to remain, I understand why Victor settled here.

How Salem inspired him to create a new life for himself and his family. Even though I wasn’t born here, I consider Salem my home. I always will. It seems to have that effect on people, yes? Yes. Something about this city, it feels right for me, Maggie. Really? After everything that’s happened? Are you sure about that?

Oh. There you are. Abraham, what is going on? I just got a call from McPherson. I was planning on telling you about that. Look, maybe I overstepped, but I just want you to focus on healing. And I thank you. You do? Yes, I do. Did you overstep? You damn right you did. And I’m glad you did.

With everything going on, my, my mind’s not operating the way I’d like it to. It feels foggy, in the clouds. Doctor said it, Would be a possible side effect. But I don’t like it. What I even like even less is being separated from you, especially after all the time you lost. A couple more nights apart mean we get many more nights together.

I know, I know. Hey, at least you’re all cozy and warm in your room. We might get snow tonight. Snow? In the middle of April? Woo! Well, forecast is for possible flurries. But the real storm is skipping us and heading south. Should be over Smith Island in a few hours. Wait, Smith Island? That’s where the Horton cabin is.

Well, should we call Chanel and Johnny? Maybe they should come home. No, it wouldn’t make any sense to drive anywhere in this weather. Safest place for them to be right now is cuddled up in front of the fire enjoying their honeymoon.

Hey, everything okay? Yeah, yeah. You know, I’m just worried about mama. I know she’s hating the isolation. Yeah, but this is the last of your treatment, right? Yeah, if things go as planned, then yes. But, you know, I also worry about her job. Being the mayor is so stressful and Yeah, well, I think your mom is doing an incredible job.

And plus, I think she kind of thrives under pressure, you know? And she’s got all the support from Abe, from you, from me. Your mom. Is going to be fine. Okay. And you know who else is doing an incredible job? Who? You. At knowing exactly what I need to hear. And giving the best hugs. Come here. Oh

And I um I need you to water the plants in the kitchen window tomorrow, okay? Just put them in the, um In the sink. Run the water for two minutes, no more, no less. Well, it’s just that Chanel is very particular in her plant care, and with her gone, I just I will take care of the plants. I will take care of everything.

Now you go and get some sleep, okay? Right, better get all rested for another day of isolation tomorrow. Oh, can’t wait. I’ll download some magazines for you to read. Well, if it’s a distraction, send it my way. And Abraham, thank you for being my person. And for taking such good care of me. I love you. To the stars and back.

Always. Sleep well, my dear.

I’m so sorry, Julie. We weren’t expecting you. So it seems. Yeah, uh, what are you doing here? This is the Horton Cabin. But Sarah, she told us that we could use it. This is your honeymoon. Oh my God. Oh, I’m so sorry. I’m sorry, John. I’m sorry, Chanel. No, no, no, no, no. It’s fine. It’s just, uh It’s just unexpected.

That’s all. Exactly. Lord, is there no place on Earth where I’m not underfoot? Okay, I’m leaving. I’m leaving now. No, wait. Julie, you can’t leave now. Why not? I’ll go back where I came from. It’ll work. No, no, no. I think he means the snow. It’s really picking up. Yeah, and besides, it’s pitch black out there.

There’s no street lights on the island. You know that. Yeah, well, I noticed it was challenging, that last mile of driving. Yeah, no, just please stay. We’d be worried sick about you out there. There’s only one bedroom. Hey, well, after that drive, you need it. You take it. Oh, on your honeymoon? That’s out of the question.

Don’t worry about it. Okay, look, we’ll, we’ll sleep on the couch. It’s very comfortable. I say you’ve tested it. So, you’ll stay then? All right. I admit I don’t want to drive in the snow and the dark. I’ll stay out of your way. I’ll, I’ll lock the bedroom door. I’ll put on my eye mask. I’ll even put in my earplugs.

How

was the visit with mom? Well, we Victoria was teething like crazy, but apart from that, it was fine. Was Constantine there? Yes.

And And as you know I just don’t feel right when that guy’s around and, I don’t know, something was even more off than usual. I could just sense it. Maybe you’re overthinking it. Maybe. And if it were just you and me, I’d grit my teeth and barrel through, but I do not like Our daughter being in that man’s presence.

And now, every time your mother takes care of her, he’s gonna be in the picture.

Your feelings are valid. And, nothing has happened in months. In fact, ever since mom paid off Constantine’s debts, life has been Quiet. Dare I say, even Safe. Well, I don’t equate quiet to safe, Sarah. The people Constantine owed, the Greek mafia, They don’t just go away when they’re made whole. That is not their M.

O. Not by a long shot. Constantine, though I love having you here as you know, I sometimes wonder how you tolerate being surrounded by the people who wronged you in the most devastating ways. I mean, knowing what John and Steve did at Victor’s behest. Maggie, I have come to realize that living life to the fullest means letting go of all that does not serve you.

And if my time in Salem is running short, then I would like to make the most of what time I have left.

So dance with me. What? There’s no music. When I’m with you, there is music in my heart. Whoa,

so cool. I’ve never seen one of these before. Maybe it’s an original glare! Thomas, what are you doing in here? This is Mr. Constantine room. You’re not supposed to be in here. I know, but it was an awesome place to hide. That’s not the point. Okay, how would you like it if someone was hanging out in your room?

What am I Did you touch anything in here? I didn’t. I swear. Okay. Come on, let’s go. Go brush your teeth. Don’t run in the hallway, please!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hi. Hi. Well,

I can see you’re still upset with me. You left these flowers I brought you in your office. I guess I’ll just find a vase to put them in. Be on my way.

I’m really sorry I disappointed you. I regret helping Ava with Weston. But like I told you before, I was scared. I was afraid I was going to lose my son. And it made me do something stupid and reckless.

I guess I’m just going to have to She’s gonna have to live with that. Wait, I need to say something. I know that you feel bad for what you did. As you should. But because I love you, I am going to forgive you for the reckless and boneheaded risk that you took breaking Clyde Weston out of prison. Oh, sweetness.

However, I need to stay mad at you. For at least today. Understand? I do. Good. Thank you for the flowers. They’re beautiful.

So kiddo, what are your plans for spring break this year? No spring break for me. A ton of school work to catch up on, so I’ll probably just hang out with some friends or something. Got it. Tate, I know that your parents have forbidden you to see Holly. Told you that, huh? Yes, they did. How do you feel about that?

Um, it sucks because I like Holly and she’s a friend of mine. They’re probably right about us being toxic for each other, so it’s probably for the best.

I am so proud of you, Holly, for telling the truth that the drugs you used on New Year’s Eve were yours. I know. That couldn’t have been easy. Why are you proud? I should have told the truth from the beginning. Yes, but I know you had your reasons for not doing that. That you were worried about your mom.

Yeah, I was. But still, I lied, Grandma, and I got Tate in terrible trouble. Yeah, you did. Hey, do you have any more tea? Oh, and those lemon berries you usually bake? Yeah. Coming right up. And Holly, listen, um, when I get back, I’d like to continue our discussion. Okay? Okay.

SOS meeting, whatever. I’ve gotta get out of here

Steph.

Hi. Hi.

I’m kind of in a rush, so. Steph, uh, wait.

I just want to say, I’m so sorry. About everything. I know. This has been hard on you in so many ways. Including how it’s hurt your friendship with Jada. I was really worried when you two stormed out of the spectator office. Actually, Jada and I talked through some things. That’s none of your concern.

However, there is something that I’m curious about. Okay. Do you still have feelings for her? For Jada? What?

Uh, no. No.

How could I have feelings for someone I, I don’t even know? Well, if that’s true, then why would you want to stay married to her? Why won’t you sign the divorce papers?

Ah, well, this is a surprise. What’s up? Uh, nothing. I just, um, I needed to see you. What for? Um, this.

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

Look, I, I, I’m not going to sign divorce papers as a man who I, I, I do not even know who he is. But you do know who he is. It’s you. You were ID’d as Robert Stein.

Don’t call me that. Don’t you ever call me that again.

Mmm. You remember that time? A while back when we snuck onto that riverboat on the Mississippi. You were wearing that pretty yellow dress. Your hair was up. Oh my God, you look so beautiful. Every pair of eyes on that boat was just drawn to you. You know, I appreciate you trying to butter me up. But you are not out of the doghouse yet, okay?

I’ll let you know when you are. Uh, okay. Mm hmm. Well, since I’m still in the doghouse, I guess there’s something else I want to get off my chest. And it doesn’t have anything to do with Ava or Weston. What? This happened a long time ago, before us. When I was working for Victor. Okay, I’m listening.

On Victor’s orders, I escorted John to Greece. He was the pawn then and I was his handler. It was my job to protect him and see him through a mission. The mission was to send a message to a man. A man named Constantine. What? Yeah. The same Constantine who recently turned up here in Salem.

Anyway, While we were on the mission, Something terrible happened. Constantine’s daughter, Katharina, Was shot and killed. Possibly by John.

For years, I, I tried to bury it, put it out of my mind, pretend it didn’t happen.

And all this time I did everything I could to protect John from knowing about it. And recently, when he found out he was ready to fall on his sword. And just give himself up, fly to Greece, turn himself in, and possibly spend the rest of his life in a foreign prison.

The thing is, because I was spending so much energy and time protecting John, I forgot to deal with my own feelings about it.

My own guilt. And shame. I think it’s about time I did.

Tate. I’m glad you understand your parents decision that you shouldn’t see Holly. I know it’s gotta be difficult because you’re, you’re fond of her and she’s, and she’s also fond of you. Um, excuse me. Is everything alright? Yeah, uh, It’s my friend Aaron. He’s helping me study for this chem test that we’ll be taking after spring break.

Do you mind if I meet up with him? No, not at all. School comes first. Go study with your buddy. Before I go, everyone’s water’s looking a little low. Let me get a pitcher from the back. Oh, that’d be great. Hey, listen, while you’re back there, could you grab me a hot sauce, please?

You sure about that? Because I distinctly remember somebody begging, pleading, for a glass of milk the last time they used that stuff. No, I wouldn’t call it begging. I just happen to like a little bit of, you know, milk with my, with my hot sauce. I see. Ah, well, who am I to judge?

It’s nice to see you smile. I’m working on a doc. Makes me happy. Well, you’ve been helping me a lot, honey, as always. But you know what? The talk I had with Harris gave me some perspective. And I’m gonna, I’m gonna try to take his advice on how to deal with that. Self forgiveness. I’m going to try to remind myself.

And this is the hard part that I was a victim too. And I choose not to be one anymore. And I, I kind of figured if Constantine was willing to forgive me. Maybe I can try doing the same thing. So I’m trying, Doc. I’m, I’m really trying.

My Katarina. Not a day goes by my heart does not ache for you. Your beautiful life cut short so, so cruelly.

And though I pretended otherwise,

I will never forgive your murderer.

Hands where I can see them. I need you to see something, and tell me what it means, and I will go away.

John?

Are you okay? John?

Who’s John?

If you are not John, then are you the Pong?

I’ve been called that, yes.

My God! I made it! Finally, after all these years. And found you, the one who killed, and I promise you, my precious daughter,

your death will be a,

well, the lemon bars and. Your English breakfast tea. It’s your favorite, right? Yes, it is. Thank you. You’re welcome. Oh, I hope I am not interrupting. Oh, no, not at all. Konstantin, this is my granddaughter, Holly. Holly, this is Mr. Meliones. Holly, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Most of it fat, I’m sure.

Oh, no, no. Only that you had a difficult time, and I am so very happy, as your grandmother is, obviously, that you are better now. Thank you. And I must say, you remind me of my daughter, Katharina. She was around your age when she died. Oh my God, I’m so sorry. Constantine is, uh, an old friend of Grandpa Victor’s.

This ting, from Greece. Oh, cool. Uh, well, I really should be heading out now. But you haven’t had your tea or the lemon bars. Yeah, I know, but Mom’s expecting me. Okay, I understand. Sorry. Well, it was nice meeting you. Likewise. Bye, Grandma. It’s my pleasure, darling. Thank you for having me. Listen, you’re gonna go straight home, yes?

Your mom said you needed to promise me. Of course. I’m going home. I love you. I love you too. Bye. It’s terrible. I’m so sorry. But maybe now that it’s out in the open, everybody that was involved in what happened with Grease can let it just, you know, be in the past.

I’m not sure that we can. Why do you say that? Because Constantine’s forgiveness is being all understanding. Letting go of his anger. You don’t think it’s genuine? No, I don’t. I don’t believe it. I mean, his daughter was murdered. His only child. And he’s been grieving. He’s been grieving her. Ever since she died, and he’s been hell bent on avenging her death.

So for him to do a 180 all of a sudden, I’m just not buying it. And as for his devotion to Maggie, I thought from the moment he arrived in Salem that he was scamming her. And I still believe that. So you better believe I will be keeping my eye on him.

Sorry. Didn’t mean to offend you. Everett?

No. No, uh, I’m the one who should be sorry. I, uh, I’ve been really stressed, you know, um, Beyond stressed about, about all of this, uh, It’s Crazy making stuff. As I’m sure you’d agree,

I’m trying really hard to figure this out. In fact, I’m on my way to go see Dr. Evans right now for another Another session. That’s good. Hope you get some answers. Some peace of mind.

Sorry about everything.

Have I told you lately how much you mean to me? I always like to hear it. How lucky I am to have someone. It was so good to me.

Who I can count on.

Who doesn’t judge.

Who won’t abandon me. Even when I’m in trouble. Why,

why, why you say it like that? Are you in trouble?

I need, I need you to answer me. Are you, are you in trouble? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Look, I, I was just, I was, I was just getting a little emotional because I just, I never had someone who’s been so kind to me. You know, it’s, um, caring, and

You know, the only trouble I’m in right now is, I told, uh, Wendy and Chip that I’d be moving out. And I don’t have a place to live. Um, Why don’t you, why don’t you stay here with me? Really? Yeah. Harris, I wasn’t fishing for you. No need to explain. No, as long as you’re cool with being roommates. Roommates?

With benefits? Definitely. Tate, where are you?

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t think that that was gonna Scare me? Well, it did, you dork. But hi, um, I’m really glad to see you. Good to see you. Oh, did you turn your phone tracker off? I did, yeah. Good. You know, the only good thing about my mom taking my phone away is she can’t track me. So she has no clue where I’m at.

That is one good thing. How’s the burner working for you? I know the reception can be a bit iffy. No, it’s perfect. Decent reception for sure. But I’m just grateful you could score me a phone at all. We’re good here. And I know my mom and dad are at a meeting. And my mom and EJ are out to dinner on the other side of the park.

Okay. Isn’t it Is it so dumb that our parents are forbidding us from seeing each other? Yeah. It’s like It’s like if Romeo and Juliet had really annoying, overprotective parents. Actually, they kind of did. Yeah, you’re right. Maybe even more annoying than ours, if that’s possible. Well, me and theirs probably wore ruffled poet shirts.

Yeah, I don’t think ours would go for that. No, probably not. Do you think that I would make a good Romeo? I suppose you’re cute enough. Wow, you suppose that I’m cute enough? Okay, fine, fine. Just cute enough? Fine, you’re off the charts cute. Um, and hey, I know this might sound like weird to say, but are parents not wanting us to be together?

It only makes me want to be with you more. Same.

Well, um, I am going for some much needed girl time with Stephanie. See you later tonight? I’ll be here. Okay.

Hi, Kayla. Hello, John. I have something for you. Yeah? What’s that? What was that for? I think you know.

You told her? I did. Would you like a beer? Maybe an ice pack? You can beer me. Okay. Full transparency. I not only told her about Weston’s prison break. I told her about Constantine and Katharina. I just couldn’t keep those secrets anymore. It’s eating me up. Now I feel, I feel relieved. Like a weight’s been lifted off me.

Well, I know that feeling, pal. All too well. Everett. Hi. Hi. Come in. Have a seat. Thank you.

I’m very glad that you’re here. I’m very glad that you’ve committed to learning more about your past.

How are you feeling today?

Honestly, Dr. Evans, um,

I’m struggling. Wishing I were. Anyone but me.

I cannot believe you got my favorite donuts in the whole wide world. I did. Took a little detour to Sweet Bits after bailing on my grandparents at the pub. You know, when they asked me my order, I completely forgot, so I just told them it was the weird shaped one with the chocolate drizzle. Mochi delight.

There you go. Thank you.

It’s, uh, a bit chillier than I thought it’d be, I don’t know. Cheers.

My hero.

Holly is a delightful young lady. Yes, she is. I thank God every day that she’s come back to us. Of course, you do. I don’t think I could have handled another loss, but you know, Holly, when I’m around her, I feel like. I feel like a part of my, my son, Daniel, is still with me. Oh, my children and my grandchildren.

They are the lights of my life.

Oh, Constantina, I’m so sorry.

Um, Let me get this straight. So, Everett is still married to Jada, as Bobby Stein. Someone he doesn’t even remember being. Yeah. I actually ran into him in the square earlier. And he said that he had another session with Marlena lined up. Oh. And um, Well, I hope that he makes some progress figuring out who he is, who he was.

What? Uh, well, you know, nothing really. I mean, I just, I remember you bringing him into the hospital a while back for an examination. It was clear that he had significant trauma to his head, but There was no real proof it had anything to do with memory loss. I remember that too, obviously. Yeah. So, I, um, asked Marlena if maybe she thought he was faking it.

What? I didn’t know that. What did she say? Well, she didn’t really have a clear answer. But she didn’t rule out the possibility. Everett, if you don’t have any memory of being married to Jada, and you, you say you have no feelings for her, and, and you tell me that you love Stephanie,

why don’t you sign the divorce papers?

I just,

I can’t sign as, as someone else. I am not Robert Stein. It would be forgery to sign as him.

I see. But, that’s, that’s not the only reason that I, I wanted to see you here. Today, um, I wasn’t completely honest with you about what I saw. During hypnosis.

What did you see? I saw myself. Staring back at me.

I really need to know what it means.

God, the air is so fresh. I forgot it was even like this. Yeah, I know. We both were stuck inside for way too long. Aside from that, it’s just, it’s really nice to be here, together. Yeah, it really is. Are

you sure about this? It would be great to have your company.

You know, it’s gonna be much safer. Your trip and Wendy. Me not being there.

You know, I still feel so terrible. About all the trouble that I put them through. Putting their lives at risk. No, no, no, but we can’t. You can’t stare in the rearview too long. There’s a big, beautiful road ahead. I know. It’s just that with, you know, Clyde still being out there on the loose, it’s just You know, who knows what goes through his crazy head and he’s gonna come back again or You know, speaking of which,

you got any new leads on Clyde or Officer Gordon? Unfortunately, the trail has, uh, gone completely cold. I mean, they, they know what they’re doing. I suspect they’re long gone by now, if not out of the country. Paris. How I wish she was long gone. Oh, I wish he was long gone by now.

Hey, John. You’re my best friend. My partner. We’ve been through so much together.

So I’m gonna be honest with you. I think that it would help ease my mind, too. If we can get to the bottom of this thing. So will you please let me help you?

Okay. Let’s give it a shot. Good. So where do we start? Where we always do. With facts.

So, on the night that Katerina was killed, there were only three people there, and that was you, me, and Konstantin. Three that we know of. Okay. There were no videos or photos from back in that time. So how are we sure someone else wasn’t there? Well, without surveillance, I suppose we’re not. No, we’re not. If someone else was there, that person could be holding a very dark secret.

Holly! Tate! Nice to see you. Yeah, you too. How’s the physical therapy going? Really well, thanks. Yeah, Kayla, uh, Stephanie, would you guys mind not telling our parents that you ran into us? Why not? Um, because we’re not really supposed to be here with each other. Oh. Please, can you just pretend like you didn’t run into us?

Oh. Well, I won’t say anything. I guess it’s not my place to do that. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you.

Alright, well, enjoy your day. You too. See you later. Bye. Oh my god. That was a close one. Yes, that was. Look, I, I think it’s probably best if we just Yeah, let’s, uh, let’s call it. My mom and EJ are probably gonna be home soon anyways. Okay. Um, okay. Well, I should Yeah, I’m, I’m gonna miss well. Yeah. Oh, your sweatshirt?

Right. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, I, I I would let you keep it, but, you know, your parents might notice. Right, they definitely would. Better you take it. Um, thanks for letting me wear it though. Yeah, you’re welcome. Anytime. See you soon, I hope. Yeah, you will. Soon.

I have to say, I feel kind of bad about not telling on Holly and Tate. Me too, but, Mom, they’re young and in love. And didn’t it kind of remind you of when you and Dad first started dating? Being told to stay away from him. I admit, yes, it did. Made me think of Everett and me too, actually. Although, my parents haven’t told me to stay away from him, I’ve told myself that.

I know you have.

But mom, for some reason, I don’t want to. I think you have very conflicted feelings about him. Very.

And I know I should hate him, block his number, move on. But I,

I still feel drawn to him. And I feel bad for him, for what he’s going through. Baby girl. Well, as your mother, I always, always want to protect you. Tell you to move on. As you said, to not get hurt any further. But I am so proud of how kind and compassionate you are. Two of my favorite things about you.

Everett. Seeing your own image, staring back at yourself, well, I’m not really entirely sure what that means. But clearly you are, are struggling with leading a dual life. And I also think you’re probably struggling with feelings that you’ve got for Jada that you’re not really ready to accept at this point.

Would you be comfortable having another drink? hypnosis session and see if we can’t get to the bottom of some of these things. I’m sorry, uh, no, no more, no more hypnosis, no more, uh, digging. I don’t want to, I don’t, I, some things are better left unknown. Excuse me.

Could Victor have been there? No, he couldn’t have been. He was in Monte Carlo at the time. Because I heard that he bet and won big on a thoroughbred. Wolfgang Amadeus was the name. Hey, what about, uh, maybe one of Stefano’s men?

What about Katharina’s mother? I heard she was living there, right? She was. Yeah, I remember Constantine said that they separated a few years after the girl’s death, so She could have been in the house. Maybe she knows something or saw something. So what do you think partner? Open up a little investigation.

See if that woman’s still alive. And if she is, we can track her down. I think that’s a very good place to start.

No, no, no, no. You have nothing to apologize for Maggie. Oh, I do. It was very insensitive of me to go on about my children and my grandchildren. No, no, no, it was not. I, I delight in your delight. I love knowing that your heart is full. Wow, that’s very kind.

I am going to miss you, Maggie. Miss me? My travel visa is expiring, and I have been denied another extension. I’m afraid I’m going to have to leave Salem.

I’m under the impression you think Clyde is still around.

I don’t think. I know.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, I’m sorry, Amir. This must be an oversight.

Two, two months in a row?

Yeah, things have been a little hectic, you know, having a new baby and all.

Okay, hey, listen, my wife, she’s, she’s gonna be home any minute, and um, we’ll just get this cleared up and get it to you today, okay? Okay, thanks.

They must have forgotten all about paying the rent.

Hey, don’t you worry about it, little guy. Mommy’s got a lot on her mind.

I mean, look at your face. Mommy just takes one look at you and all the things on her mind go right out the window. But don’t you worry, we’ll get this all squared away. Hey, sorry I’m late. I was knee deep in research about your case. And? Did you find a way to get me out of this nightmare marriage? Before we get started, do you mind if we just take care of my retainer fee first?

Oh, sure. Sorry, I completely slipped my mind.

There. Sent. Okay, thank you. So, did you find anything? Anything that’ll help push through this divorce? Like a loophole or something? Unfortunately, it’s just the opposite. The law is in favor of Bobby’s case. Well, when a party suffers from a mental illness like a brain injury or some other mentally debilitating condition, the law states that they lack the cognitive ability to enter into a contract.

I mean even If they do sign a contract in that condition, it’s avoidable.

The article on Stefan’s arrest is gaining a lot of traction. I even posted it to four different social media platforms to get even more traffic. Who’d have thunk it? I knew Stefan DiMera had a dark side, but drug dealer was not on my bingo card. I know, right? I wonder how Chadwick is dealing with the news that his brother from another mother is a pill pushing lowbrow headed to the Who’s Go.

Come on, Leo. What? I just hope after our readers have done rubbernecking at Stefan’s story, they detour over to my Lady Whistleblower column. It may be my last. Hey, things will look up, Leo, okay? They always do. Yeah. Hey, I gotta go check on another account, so I’ll see you later. Okay, see ya. Hey, where have you been?

I feel like I’m walking on a cloud. With two girls, almost like a free man. You are never going to be locked up again. Ever. God, I love your optimism. And you’re undying support. And you will always have been.

D. A. DiMera. Fancy meeting you here. Likewise. Actually, I have some news about your case, and you might as well hear it from me.

Dammit, E. J., stop ignoring me. Have you seen the price of DiMera stock? It’s plummeting by the second. Now you say that you care about this company. Well, prove it. Call me back, now. Before we lose our family fortune. Ugh. Oh, could this take it any worse? What the hell is wrong with you?

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

okay? I’m good. Really? Because you, you look kind of razzled. Yeah, well, uh, it’s nothing I want to get into right now. How is the article on Stefan doing? Great. Take a look. Oh. That’s good news, at least. Hey, Everett. Lightbulb moment. I was thinking I could do a follow up human interest story about a family who was immediately impacted by the drugs that Stefan was trafficking through the bistro.

You know what, Leo? Until I, um, say it, why don’t you stay in your lane? Ah! Snark you much? Sorry, Leo. Well, since you are clearly singing the blues today, I will steer clear. Tell me what’s wrong, Everett, please. Not now. I’m trying to work, you know?

Are you as stubborn as you are psychotic? Sign the divorce papers, damn it!

As much as I believe. You belong behind bars and, uh, Anne, make no mistake, I would have relished putting you there. Our forensic team has examined the images of the perpetrator and have confirmed that you did not shoot Detective Michaels. They saw the difference in the tracksuit pants, right? There was a slight difference, but a difference nonetheless.

I’ve just come from my office where I have officially dropped the charges against you. Congratulations. Oh my god. Did that just happen? You made it happen. You did. You were determined and tenacious and you found proof. And I am so, I’m so proud of you. I couldn’t have done it without you. Did you hear that, little angel?

Your daddy’s a free man. We’re gonna celebrate. Look, I know that my freedom is the big news here, but uh, I’d just like to point out that I, Xander Cook was just congratulated by that frig E. J. Zemera.

You actually told Holly that she’s a bad influence on Rachel? Yep, I did. Oh, the audacity. I mean, what are you, picking on a teenage girl that almost died? She’s upstairs in her room crying right now. Oh, boo hoo, poor Holly. She’s such a drama queen. Drama queen? Yes. That is rich coming from you. Oh God, let’s face it, Nicole.

No mother wants her child hanging out with a drug addict. She’s not a drug addict. Okay, well, how would you know? You had no idea she was doing drugs before? Well, she’s a teenager, Kristen. Okay, she made a mistake. Okay, she made a mistake, yeah. And instead of taking responsibility for it, she covered it up and lied about it.

Blamed Rachel’s big brother, Tate, for it all. And, and now he has no freedom. He got beaten up in prison. Okay, well, she was unconscious when all that happened, okay? Spare me the fine print. Your daughter was doing drugs behind your back. And when I called her on it, a little brat went tattling to mommy. I have every right to keep my daughter away from that little liar.

Okay, you just stop yourself right now. Look, if you want to go after someone, you come after me, alright? Alright. You wanna fight? You wanna fight? No, I do. Okay, let’s do it. Come on. Let’s go.

Very impressed to find out that you have a 30, 000 limit. My God, you can’t keep doing this. It’s costing me a fortune as it is just to put you up with this sailor man. Oh, my suite by the way, major upgrade from that dingy little room I used to share with Gweny. Lovely view, very comfy king size bed. Oh my God, when is it going to end?

Honey, it ends whenever you’re ready to give up your baby. To give that precious little boy back to his real mother. Hey. Hey. I thought I heard you. How was your day? Exhausting. Yeah, well, I, uh, just got you down. And I thought maybe you and I could talk. Oh, sounds serious. It is. It’s um, it’s about our finances.

I came home from our breakfast and I found this under our door.

Would you please? Just sign the damn divorce papers. You two are still married? Jada and Everett. Hashtag Jefferet. Married. Juicy. Apparently, the divorce decree was never officially finalized. Yeah, because Bobby never signed the papers and he won’t do it now. Wait, who is Bobby? He is. Jada and Bobby? Hashtag jobby.

To make you feel powerful, Kristen, punching down. Punching down? Yeah. All I did was tell your daughter to stay away from mine. That is it. Well, from now on, if you have anything to say to Holly or about Holly, you come to me first. You got it? Oh, yeah. Well, I think I pretty much covered it. Oh, you have? Oh, and hey, guess what?

God, it can’t be easy having a druggie for a daughter. Especially one who pretends she’s Snow White singing to animated birds while everyone kisses her feet. The facade is crumbling, honey. Lo and behold, Holly is just as selfish and manipulative as her mother. Oh. Oh, we’re going there, are we? Yeah, we will go there.

Yeah. Comparing daughters to mothers? It’s a very dangerous place for you to be, Kristen. I feel really, really bad for Rachel. Because she has an evil serpent for a mother. Stinking her fangs into innocent people. Spreading her poison all over town. And you know what it looks to me? Huh? That Rachel is bound to be a bad seed.

Just like her mummy. Wow.

I feel terrible. I, I must have just slipped my mind. I figured. You know, I’ve never even been late on rent before, so this Actually, you were late last month too. But I know you’ve had a million things on your mind. Yeah, I really have. But it’s not just that, it’s, you know, the, the expenses are increasing.

It’s the formula, the diapers. No, electricity and gas. But look, I promise you, I’m going to be more on top of it. Look, right now, I am going to send the landlord the rent. And with my caseloads increasing, this shouldn’t be a problem. And at some point, my business will pick up. Yes. You know what? But this is what we should do.

We should make a plan. A family budget. Great. I can do that. I can make a, a spreadsheet at work tomorrow. No, no, no. Actually, you know what? We can, uh, kind of do this together, you know? Like, uh, look. It’s not that hard. We can kind of, uh, put a list of all our family expenses together. Right? So, uh, Here, I’ll give you that.

Oh, you know what? It’s okay. I’ll take care of it. Just hold that thought. You

said you would sign the papers. Yes. As myself. You are yourself. Listen, just, just sign Robert Stein. Okay? So we can just get this over with. You don’t want to be married to me. And I don’t want to be married to you. It’s just a signature. No one will even know or care.

I’m sorry. I can’t. I can’t. I can’t sign those. Not the way that you want me to. Oh my god. Uh, I’m sorry, just so that I’m clear. Everett is Bobby. Bobby is Everett. And wait, you two were an item when you were in Seattle. Did you know him as Bobby? Don’t go there, Leo. How can I not go there? Lady Whistleblower has been starving for scoop, and now here comes a triple fudge sundae served up with sprinkles.

Leo! Huh? Just don’t go there, okay? Just So what’s it gonna be, Bobby? I mean really, how long are you going to be torturing me with this?

This may be the best cheeseburger I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. And that’s because everything tastes better with a side of freedom. So true. Incredible. Although, what’s with your obsession with cheese? It’s like you’re a little mouse who can’t get enough. You’re only saying that because I asked you to bring me string cheese in bed one time.

Once. More like you woke me up and demanded that I bring you string cheese at midnight three different times. Well, I was breastfeeding Victoria. I couldn’t exactly get up and go get cheese. And nobody’s waking up tonight. We’re gonna sleep like babies now that this whole nightmare is over. Actually, it’s not completely over.

You keep my daughter out of this. Unlike Holly, Rachel is not a screw up. You know, her only mistake is that she looked up to someone who is unworthy of her admiration. Unworthy of her admiration? What are you talking about? Holly has been nothing but kind and loving to Rachel, and Rachel is nothing but an entitled little brat.

Rachel is not a brat. Yes, she is, and she needs to come with a warning label, just like her mother. Felony after felony. Okay, you know what? I do. Let’s do it. You kidnapped Daniel, you blackmailed Sammy, you stole Teresa and Brady’s fetus and inserted it in yourself. That’s crazy, that’s disgusting, yes it is.

You know who I left the baby stealing from? You, Nicole, you. Yes, you stole EJ and Sammy’s baby, you lied to Daniel about how your baby died, and you blamed it all on Jennifer. And you broke their relationship up. Yeah, but you wanna know the difference between you and me? What? I actually regret it. Oh, ho, ho, ho.

I am trying to turn my life around. Oh, well, keep on turning, sweetheart, and maybe you’ll spin your way all the way down to hell where you belong. Oh, my God. You know, I haven’t told you the worst part about you. Oh, goody. What you did to Eric. Okay, I can’t wait to hear this. Oh, I bet. You drugged him. And you had sex with him, and there’s a word for that, and I can’t even say it because you totally disgust me.

Oh, and then you go parading around town wearing a mask, impersonating me so you could seduce Brady. Bad news for you. The only reason Rachel exists is because Brady had sex with you, thinking it was me. Okay, don’t you do this to me! Stop it! Stop it! Both of you! Stop it! Stop it! You’re such a liar! You’re a liar!

Stop it! Both of you! Stop it! What is going on here? Stop it!

I’m guessing he just needed a diaper change. All sparkly clean now. It’s been a big time with me. Here’s the spreadsheet so far. Here, take a look. Okay, rand electric, gas, food, personal stuff, hair, manicure, clothes. Yeah. That look about right? Yeah, looks, looks all good. Yeah, but what’s missing? I can’t really think of anything off the top of my head.

Well, something’s not adding up right. Okay. Oh, uh oh. I’m guessing he’s getting hungry. I’m gonna go feed him.

This isn’t personal, Jada. We are still married. I take that very personally. Just, what’s the big deal? Okay, just sign it Robert Stein. It’s just a technicality. No one will even care. You can move on with your life and I can move on with mine, okay? Well, wouldn’t that be forgery detective signing somebody else’s name?

No, because he is Robert Stein, legally. Are you? Leo, shut up and just stay out of this. I’m sorry, I I can’t sign it. Not right now. Damn you. Jada, wait.

What do you mean it’s not over yet? Night after night, in that jail cell, I kept trying to figure it out. I mean, I knew I hadn’t shot Harris. But the evidence just kept stacking up against me, as well you know. Well, when you got arrested, you thought that somebody had framed you. Right, and I still do, now more than ever.

I mean, whoever set me up, they did a bang up job, didn’t they? Only question is, Why me?

Stop. Stop. Is this the example you both want to set for your daughters? My God. What if I hadn’t walked in when I did? And honestly, Kristin, a grown woman attacking a teenage girl. Thank you for standing up for Holly. Oh, please. Did you hear what your precious wife was saying about your niece? It was obscene.

There’s a big difference here, Kristen. She said those things to you, whereas you fired your missiles right at Holly’s face. Are you kidding me? You kidding me? So she gets a pass because she didn’t tear Rachel to shreds behind her back? Nicole is my wife. And you will show her some damn respect. She’s a scheming gold digger.

And always has been. And you’re not a homicidal maniac! Enough! Enough! Kristen, let me make this very clear. If you are unable to get along with my wife, you will find another place to live.

Ten whole ounces. You wolf that down. Hopefully that can last him out for a little while. Good. Can you sit down and go through this with me now? Um, yeah, of course I can. Definitely. But I just noticed that Jude’s completely out of diapers. So I’m gonna run and go get some. Are you sure? Because I thought we had another package.

Nope. All out. I’m going to be right back. And, grab some diapers. Love you. Damn, where can all my money be going?

I don’t even have a horse in this race, and I am breathless. I can only imagine what this is doing to you. This whole thing

is a nightmare. It’s a nightmare, with Stephanie, right in the middle of it. Poor thing. The two of you, flittering around town like a pair of lovebirds, then all of a sudden, wham! You careen into a glass window, feathers everywhere, no one saw it coming. Except, I’m not the victim. No matter how you try to spin this, I am the bad guy in this situation.

I mean, Jada thinks I’m a two timing bastard, Stephanie is debating whether I’m a two timing bastard, or a nutjob, I mean, either way. She’s lost trust in me. I hate this. I hate myself. Everett Everett. Come on, man. If you don’t remember you don’t remember stopping so hard on yourself. Look, you are a good guy.

Who’s going through an identity crisis. Hey, sometimes I feel like I need a lobotomy, and I am just one person with one name and one set of rotten memories. I can only imagine what it would be like to be two people with two sets of rotten memories.

Appreciate the support, Leo.

We all need somebody to listen to our side of the story, right?

Speaking of stories, I mean this really delicious one just fell into my lap and if Lady Whistleblower could write about it, I, well I promise, I promise I will be, I will be very, very gentle with the story and respectful and Are you out of your mind? What? Are you out of your mind? No. Drop it, Leo. I am. I’m sorry.

Okay, but we Okay, but Okay, I’m gonna get out of here so you can clear your heads. I’m sorry. Bobrit, I want you to know I am here for you. But I have to say, I do agree with Jada. You are not going to be able to move forward until you put this behind you. Get it figured out. Otherwise, you’re never going to get Stephanie back.

And it is obvious you are head over heels in love with her. Heartbroken. I have feathers everywhere.

I know the feeling.

Thank you for filling me in on the divorce snafu. Trusting me enough to open up about it. Yeah, well, I know this can’t be easy for you either. I mean my goodness, it’s just, when you thought that things couldn’t get more jaw dropping, you find out that the guy you’re involved with is still married. To me.

Yeah. Yeah, it’s been pretty shocking.

Hey. Listen. I’m really sorry that I bit your head off. More than once. I realize that I’ve been really just taking all my anger out on you. Well, I can’t imagine. What you went through when your marriage ended and what you’re going through now. Yeah, but still, it’s, it’s no excuse, Stephanie. You are a victim here too.

So what do you say? Do you think maybe you can forgive me for the awful things that I said? The thing is, someone went to a lot of trouble to set me up, right? And they did it oh so cleverly. Starting with that phone call. Hello?

Xander Cook. Yeah, who’s this? I have a job for you. What kind of job? I have someone who must be eliminated.

And then, obviously, someone duplicated my jogging outfit. And Planted that gun in our apartment. And they put the money in your bank account. That’s an awfully big expense, right? Whoever it was, they, they wanted to take me down big time. Damn it, I just, there’s gotta be someone who knows me, someone with money.

Clyde? It’s possible. I mean, obviously there’s no love lost between him and me. And he had motive for offing Harris, yeah. He could’ve financed this, but, but why pin it on me? I mean, I haven’t had any contact with that bastard in years. It seems odd that he’d go to such lengths to Set me up.

The Spectator article said that Stefan was doing Clyde’s bidding through the Bistro. So maybe Stefan hired the hitman. Maybe he knows something. I’m gonna visit the jail. See if I can get in to see Stefan. You sure that’s a good idea?

Who do you think you are? You don’t own this house. And I’ve been a mayor longer than you have.

Look, Kristen. Mm hmm. This is a big house. Why don’t we just agree to keep our kids away from each other? Alright? Fine. Good. That settles that. Now, I’m leaving. I need to head to DiMera. Show some leadership. The board has made it clear, Stefan is out as head of DiMera, and I need to take the reins. Can you do that?

Can you step back in and still be DA? I could. The board does need an interim CEO immediately. Someone with a family name. Ugh. I’m told he wants to travel the world with Anna, doesn’t want that kind of responsibility at this stage in his life. Chad’s never expressed interest and Johnny is just far too young and inexperienced.

Hello. There’s a DiMera standing right here. Oh, you’re serious? Oh, my darling sister. No, no, no. I don’t think so.

Why would it be a bad idea for me to see Stefan? Oops. Because you’re all free and clear now. I mean, don’t you think it’s a bad idea to go digging around? It’s like poking the bear. I think I have to. I mean, I have to figure out who did this to me, Sarah. No.

We have to. Because we’re in this together. Thank you. I mean some. And tomorrow I’ll see about getting into the jail to visit Stefan. As long as you promise me one thing. Anything. When this is all over, I want you to bring me cheese and bed as much as I want without complaining. Every. Single. Night.

Okay, I’m off. Can I trust the two of you to be here alone? Actually, why don’t I go with you? And you can drop me off at the town square. Because after all the fun I’ve had today, I could use some retail therapy, and then maybe we can have dinner out. Hmm. Perfect. I’ll meet you in the car. Actually, I’m gonna go check on Holly and let her know we’re heading out.

Sounds good. Okay. Bye. Goodbye to you too, little brother.

Yes, Mr. Shen. This is Kristen DiMera. I think you and I need to have a talk. I really let you have it. And like I said, it was all misguided anger, Stephanie. You’re not to blame for any of this. And I believe you when you said that you had no idea that Bobby was married. So I really hope that you’ll forgive me.

If not now, someday, when you’re ready. I’m not gonna lie, those things you said, it really hurt. I know you were coming from a place of pain. You weren’t trying to hurt me. I forgive you. Of course. I know you were only trying to protect yourself. We just process things differently. Yeah. You’re the calm and rational one, and I blow my top.

Total hothead. Oh, believe me, I’ve, I’ve had my moments. Not that I would know. I’ve been, I’ve been so wrapped up in my own world and all the things happening that’s messing it up that I didn’t even take time to think about how this was affecting you.

Yeah, it’s been rough.

I’m sure. So, tell me the truth. Aren’t you furious with him? Yes, I am.

Half the time. The other half I keep thinking about what he must be going through. So you believe his story? I don’t know. But I do feel for him. You know, losing chunks of your life, your identity, it must be terrifying. And he has nobody. Except you.

You still have feelings for him, don’t you?

If only it were so black and white.

There’s no escaping you. Is there, Robert Stein?

Voicemail.

Doctor Evans. This is Everett Lynch. I need to see you.

Uh, is this really that urgent? I was about to get a pedicure when you beckoned. Oh, you had a pedicure just last week. I know, I paid for it. Yes, but if I wait too long, my feet get hard and crusty, and I need them to be soft and smooth like a baby’s bottom. My baby comes first, pal. Look, just cut me a little break, okay?

June needs diapers, wipes, food. You should probably be on a budget. I can’t. Eric wants to, but I can’t keep hiding your crazy self indulgent expenses. Meanwhile, I have drained my bank account paying rent, which was late for the second time. Look, you’re working now. You’re doing legit reporting. I saw that piece on Mayor Price.

What did you think? It was good, actually. Wow, did you just not insult me? I’m shocked. I did just not insult you. You’re actually, you’re a decent writer. And look, you’re paid by the article, right? And they’re giving you more assignments now, I’ve noticed. Well, those assignments cost money, too. See, I had to finagle my way into Mayor Price’s welcome home party by posing as a flower delivery person.

And you paid for the flowers? Well, no. Chad did. But at that faboo shindig, I managed to spill champagne all over my shoes. I ruined them. And girl, new Ferragamos do not come cheap. Come on, Leo. No, really, you are such a talented writer. And your features, I mean, they are just taking off. Lady Whistleblower is practically a household name now.

Come on, please, I’m just asking. I’m really talking to you, though. Please. Well, I do offer a unique perspective, and that does make my career outlook rosy.

And because of my fondness for your son, And because I want his diapers to be ultra absorbent so that his booty can be smooth and soft like my pedicured feet. I will cut your allowance by ten percent. I was thinking forty. Fifteen. Thirty five.

I’m feeling generous, but only because you complimented my writing. Why don’t we meet in the middle and say twenty five percent? Steel. No. What? You have no idea what this means to me. Okay.

I don’t get this. Something is not right here. Sloane must have some big expenses she’s not sharing with me. I’m gonna get to the bottom of this.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hmm. So, everything here is on my special diet, huh? Definitely. You want oatmeal? Wheat toast? Fresh fruit? Would you like some tea? Black coffee? Hmm. What I would like is a bear claw. Well, you’ll be able to have your bear claws very soon, my dear. I know, I know. And I don’t mean to complain. In fact, I am sorry.

I’m very, very grateful that this wonderful treatment exists and the only reason that I’m not looking forward to it has Nothing to do with food or even having no one to talk to for a few days. Oh What’s oh, it’s gonna be hard for me since in case you haven’t noticed I do like to talk I noticed Oh, no.

The reason I’m dreading the treatment is that I hate being away from you, Abraham, or, uh, for even one minute.

Hey, what are you doing here? What is that? The key to the Horton cabin. Sarah gave it to me. We are starting our mini honeymoon today. Today. Like, like now? Today. Yeah. A few cozy days away from it all. Just the two of us. Yeah. There’s just one problem after work, you know that. Oh, right, right. Um, well, I guess our mini honeymoon will just have to wait then.

I’m sorry. That’s okay. It’s your job. I get it. Thank you for understanding. Sure. I

don’t believe this. Stefan DiMera confessed to running illegal drugs out of the Bistro Cafe. Demira is currently behind bars? What the hell?

No, this spectator did not get an exclusive because it is run by Demira. My office will be releasing a statement as soon as possible today. You can follow up with my communications officer. Okay. Good morning. Holly. Yeah? Look, I know you’re upset about being punished. But you chose to do drugs, and then you decided to lie to us about it.

Excuse me, you’ve never lied? Everyone makes mistakes. But this needs to be a lesson learned. Hmm. Okay, well, if everyone makes mistakes, how’s it fair that Tate and I can’t see each other anymore? We’ve already been over this. That was Tate’s parents decision, and under the circumstances, I can’t say that I blame them.

Look, I know that you think you want to be with Tate right now, but I believe in time you’ll realize that this separation is for the best. You want to know what I really think? I think you blew everything out of proportion right from the beginning, arresting Tate when there was no real reason to. So guess what?

This is all your fault, EJ.

So? How was it? Your first day back at work? Uh, it felt good. Getting back to normal. Yeah. But, uh, what about you? Have you decided when you’re going back? I’m not sure. Rafe left it up to me. That’s very generous. Yeah. Okay. That’s good. You mind telling me what we’re doing out here? I’ll show you. It is pretty chilly out.

They say a storm’s coming in soon. Oh, that’s okay. We’re gonna work up a sweat. What are those for? You’re gonna punch me.

Hello? Well, hello there, little lady. I’ll bet you thought you were rid of me, huh? What do you want? Well, I want you to listen up. Okay, no, you listen to me. You almost killed my son and his girlfriend, so unless you have called to tell me where you are so I can come slit your throat and just watch you bleed out, I got nothing to say to you anymore.

Good gracious, such hostility. Take a chill pill, mama. Word on the street is your little boy’s doing just fine. Now, unless you want me to disavow Stefan’s mere culprit confession to the police, I suggest you just sit back and listen to what I have to say. Now, I just finished reading this morning’s news.

Uh, Stephan DiMera arrested, blah, blah, yeah. Here we go. The DiMera heir is currently behind bars awaiting arraignment. His ex business partner at the bistro, Ava Vitali, declined comment. Um, ex partner Ava? I don’t think so. Because I have one little more job I need you to do for me.

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

You want me to run your new drug empire? You used to run bangs for the Philly mob, didn’t you? That was a long time ago. I’m going straight. Trying to put my life back together in that. Starts with getting a legitimate job. Well, I’ll set you up with a legitimate job, all right? That’s not a problem. I got connections at the bistro.

You still there? Yeah. Good. You know, for a second there, I thought maybe you hung up on me. I’m here. Well, you’re a smart lady. Look, the bistro closed. I got forced out because of everything that went down. Well, you better force your way back in. Look, I don’t know or care how you and your robo cop boyfriend got Stefan to take the fall, but we both know that you’re far from innocent on this.

So if you want to keep flying under the radar, you’d best do what I tell you to do.

Punch you? Come on, put the gloves on. Physical activity is great for working off nerves and stress. You know, against the endorphins flowing. Hmm. Okay. Look, Wendy After what we went through, I mean, it’s no surprise that we have PTSD. And so it might be good for us to work some of our feelings out in a physical way that’s perfectly safe.

Okay, but boxing? I’ve never done it before. I mean, either, but I’ve always wanted to give it a try. You know, I was thinking more like jogging. But I guess I could give boxing a try. All right, cool. Let’s do this.

You are one sneaky fella. Oh, me? Uh huh. My second in command was wondering why I even showed up when I am supposed to be on my mini honeymoon today. Okay, okay, I admit I did speak to some of your staff and they agreed to cover you for the next few days. Okay, well that was good of them, but Johnny, it’s not right.

What? Of course it is. Look, Dee. Adore you. And I also conspired with them on your behalf to pay them time and a half while we’re gone. Don’t worry, I’ll cover it. Okay, that was very generous of you and really, really thoughtful, but But? What? You don’t want to go? No, no, I really want to go. Like, so much, but We’ll just go.

Mama, you know, she starts her treatment today. Which is why I scheduled this for right now, because she’s gonna have to be in isolation. You’re not gonna be able to be with her for the next few days, and I figured that you’re gonna want to spend as much time with her as possible once she’s no longer radioactive.

That’s true. And the Horton cabin is fairly close in case you have to come back here for any reason, which you won’t because everything’s gonna be fine with your mom with sweet bits. Well, how do I say no to that? Well, I’ll tell you. You can’t. And I promise you that this is going to be the best time ever, Mrs.

DiMera. Well, I already know that, Mr. Dupree. Because I’m going to be alone in a cabin with the sexiest husband in the world.

Yes, Mr. Shin, I have everything under control. I know the story’s out. Stefan was arrested and is incarcerated. I realize it’s not a good look for the company, but I just want to EJ! No. Mr. Shin, I promise you, you have my word. I’ll handle it. And furthermore Hello? You know what? I don’t believe this. Our brother is in jail on drug charges, and I have to find out about it in The Spectator.

Yes. What the hell?

One of my brothers locks up my other brother and my youngest brother Publishes a story about it and no one thinks to tell me get a grip Krista. Okay, you know what? I’d love to get a grip I’d love to get a grip around all three of your necks Stefan was running the company. Where the hell does that leave DiMera Enterprises?

Incapable hands. Look, you have nothing to worry about, and I have to run, so if you’ll excuse me. Oh, oh, nothing to worry about except the family business going under!

Dad! Oh, sorry son, I’m in a bit of a rush. Oh, hey, I just, uh, wait, I just, uh, I wanted to let you know that Chanel and I are going to be out of town for the next couple of days. We’re headed out to the Horton cabin for a mini honeymoon. That’s great, that’s long overdue. Oh, wait a second, I also wanted to ask you about Uncle Stefan, he’s in jail.

What the heck? You two, do you even care? Yeah, of course I do, he’s my uncle. And he was supplying the drugs that nearly got Holly killed. What? Look, everything is fine and taken care of, okay? So don’t worry. So please go enjoy your honeymoon. You both deserve some time off, okay? Oh my god. Oh my god, Tripp, are you okay?

Oh, I’m so sorry. I was aiming for the mitts. I guess I just went a little overboard. No, no, no. It’s okay. It’s okay. You, uh Mean right hook, though. You sure you’ve never done this before? Well, I studied taekwondo for about eight years. I’m a brown belt. Oh, well. But no, I’ve never punched anyone before. Well, I think you’re ready for the black belt, just saying.

Remind me to never get in a fight with you. Well, taekwondo. Is about kindness, forgiveness, building a peaceful world, not fighting. Good to know. Your turn. You know, uh, more than I think about it, uh, jockeying doesn’t sound that bad of an idea.

Then I’ll race ya.

Oh, I don’t care about flying under the radar. You want to tell someone that I was just as involved as Stefan? Go right ahead. It’s gonna be his word against yours. And I would rather park my ass in jail than ever do anything with you again. Is that so? I’m hanging up now. Do not call me back. What would Sweetie Pie Harris say if he knew how I got out of prison?

Yeah, that caught your attention, didn’t it? Love it like that. That’s a hard thing to give up when all I’m asking is just one itty bitty favor. Uh uh. No, I’m not doing it. I am not laundering your money. I am not your distribution hub. Well, who said anything about that? No, this job is easy peasy. Listen up.

Gil hid a little black book at the bistro. Inside that book. Is all the info on my suppliers and my dealers. There is no digital trail on me. Everything is in that book in pen and ink. Now, I need you to get that book to me. That book needs to be placed in my hands and no one else’s. And I mean no one.

Comprende? Now, I ain’t asking you to kill nobody or kidnap them or Or even betray your little PI friends. At least, not to their faces. But that little book is the only trail back to me. So, if you get it to me, here’s what I’ll do. I’ll pick up and move my operations elsewhere. You’ll never have to hear from me again.

Ava. Speak to me.

This is the last thing I will ever do for you. And then I’m out. Absolutely, Ava. Absolutely.

Finished! You? Not quite. Oh, you are strict. You need your strength for this treatment. I need my strength to sit all alone twiddling my thumb.

Happy now? Very. Now, don’t worry. You’re going to be able to eat all your favorite foods again. I know, I know. Mama. Oh, oh, my sweet baby girl. I brought you some treats. Oh, you’re an angel. But, uh, Oh, um, Chanel, honey, bear claws aren’t on the approved food list. Well, mama, you underestimate me because these are made with non iodized salt.

So, you’re all good. Oh, really? Oh, wait, wait, wait. Uh, uh, uh, are they made with iodate dough conditioners? Definitely not. Oh! Ha ha ha! Good amyloid! Mmm! Okay, uh, well, I have to run, but I will have my phone on me 24 7, so if you need me to come back, you just call me. Okay? Come back? From where? Oh, yeah, I forgot that little detail.

Johnny and I are going to the Horton Family Cabin for, like, a little mini honeymoon. Oh! How exciting! But, but if you want me to stay, I’ll stay. Ah, ah, ah, no, no, no, no. I’ll go. I insist. Oh, and you bundle up because it’s gonna get cold later. Oh, well, I’m sure they’ll find a way to keep warm. Ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah.

Ah, ah, ah. Ooh, ooh. Ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah. So, some spring break, right? Yeah, it was a total waste. I’m so not ready to go back to school. Yeah, me neither, but we don’t really have a choice. There is one good thing, and it’s our parents can’t keep us separated while we’re there. I know, right? So, how about we make a pact?

What do you mean? Okay, um, let’s agree to find each other between periods. And we’ll hold hands in the halls and talk. And then, and then for lunch we’ll find a really private, secret space to, you know, be together. With no one staring at us or anything. I have the perfect spot, under the oak tree at the far end of the quad.

Yes, that’s perfect. But, in the meantime The

gardeners? Hey, why don’t we sneak up to my room before anyone sees us? And I’ll be sure to lock the door this time. Yeah, yeah, I’m down. Let’s just make sure the coast is clear.

Hey!

Holly! Hi. Uh oh. I’ve heard that tone before. What’s wrong? Nothing. Except that I literally have no life. And I already know what you’re gonna say. That I’m overreacting. Feeling sorry for myself. Oh, fuck. I’m not going to say that, because I have no idea what you’re even talking about. Um, Tate and I are not allowed to see each other anymore.

Ah, damn. That sucks. Yeah, tell me about it. Oh, and just so you know, I’m not in love with Tate. In case, like, anyone tries to tell you I am. Nobody’s told me that. Good, because I’m not. Okay, got it. I, I do really like him though. I mean, he’s a good guy. But it doesn’t matter because my mother and stepdad number three have decided we’re toxic for each other.

And like, they’re not. Sorry Johnny, I know EJ’s your dad and all, but I think him and my mom are a total mismatch. Well, I don’t know about that. But I am sorry to hear about you and Tate, that you can’t hang out with each other anymore. Me too. Bye. It’s my fault, really. I made such a mess out of everything.

Look, Holly, you messed up. Okay, we all do it. And now you’re paying the consequences. And pretty soon, this is going to be nothing but a bad memory for you. Okay? Um, hey, look, I hate to do this, but Chanel is gonna be here any minute. We’re getting away for the weekend, so I’m out. I kind of need to go back.

Yeah, I know. Totally. I’m really happy for you guys. You love each other so much. I hope I can find that one day. You will. You will. But don’t rush it, okay? You’ve got loads of time, okay? And hey, when we get back, if you still want to talk, I’m available. No judgment, okay? Okay, thanks Johnny. Have a good time.

Thanks. Holly? It’s me, girl! Hi! Hi, you busy?

You want to paint nails like we used to? Uh, yeah, let’s do it. Come on, let’s go get our mani pedi bag. Oh. You beat me by like 10 seconds. No, I slowed down so you wouldn’t choke on my dust. Or I caught up because of my lightning speed. Oh, nice try. You want some water? Yeah, please. Oh

my god, did you see this? What? The Spectator article about Stefan O’Meara. He confessed to running drugs out of the bistro. He’s in jail. Does it say anything about my mom? Just that his ex business partner declined comment. Hey. Mom. What’s wrong? You okay? Yeah, I’m fine, but you’ve got some explaining to do.

What’s, what’s going on? Mom, why would Seven confess? Beats me. I thought you were both forced into this shady stuff. I thought you were both threatened by Clyde. Yeah, we were. I guess He felt so guilty about what happened to the two of you. That doesn’t sound like Stefan. Who cares, right? I mean, this is great.

I mean, you can finally put all this stuff behind you. Yeah, absolutely. Yep, I’m going to, uh, make a fresh start, starting with quitting the bistro. You’re quitting? Yeah. I already did. Too much bad luck and too many bad memories. Again, a fresh start. And that includes finding a new place to live.

How’s this? Impressive. Very unique. My mom says I’m one of a kind. But you definitely are. So how’s school going? What’s your favorite subject? Lunch. Mine too. You were always good at math though. I remember when I was your tutor. It’s okay. I like reading better. Reading’s fun.

Okay, we’re taking off. Where are you going? On a much needed honeymoon. Aw, well, you guys have a great time. We will

all, I’m tapping away.

Mm. I am going to miss you. Oh. Oh. Not as much as I’m going to miss you, and I’m going through this procedure knowing that you are gonna be at home waiting for me, . And that you remember our history again? Oh. It comforts me so, knowing that you love me now, then, and always. And with all my heart.

You’re moving out. Newlyweds need their space. We’re not Exactly newlyweds. Well, I heard you exchanged vows. Wendy Shin, with my whole heart, I take you as my wife. I promise to respect you as a person, as a partner, and an equal. You know, before you came along, I wasn’t sure I believed in finding the one. And, uh, relationships brought me a lot of heartache, a lot of pain.

And now I know that things just didn’t work out in the past because fate was just sending me to you. Tripp Johnson,

with all my heart I take you as my husband. And I promise to be by your side, to learn with you, to encourage you. To respect you and accept you. We are equals. We’re friends. We’re lovers.

And now we’re husband and wife.

And I vow to love you and to cherish you with all my being. Till I draw my very last breath on this earth.

You gonna make it official? Maybe, but uh, for now our vows are on the back burner. Yeah, we’re just happy being together. Okay, well still, you two need your space. You don’t have to do this alone. Please, I nearly got you guys killed. Okay. Look, you guys have been too generous. You’ve let me stay way too long.

I just think moving out on my own is going to be the best for everyone.

Well, well, not the Ritz, but it’s pleasant enough. Well, it’s only for a couple of days. And then I’ll be, I’ll be back at home. But still having to stay a few feet away from everybody. Strange how a little tiny pill can radiate for days. Oh. Hello, Mayor. Former Mayor. Good to see you, Dr. Johnson. Good to see you guys as well.

You know, we’re so relieved that you and Wendy were rescued. Thank you. What a horrifying ordeal. It was, it was, but, you know, we’re, we’re doing okay now and we’re feeling very lucky. Oh, as am I. Yeah, I heard you had, uh, quite the ordeal yourself while I was away, but with a really happy ending. Well, you know, we are all, we’re all very blessed.

Yeah, we sure are. Well, I think, uh, we should get you started. Okay, and, uh, but one thing, though. There is something I have to ask all my female patients. Uh, is there any chance you might be pregnant? Oh, ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh. Um. Are you gonna card me for alcohol, too? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I’ll take that as a no.

Boy, I’m big. I’m being this big. Okay, then we should be good to go. Alright, we’re gonna take you to a special room to take the radioactive pill, and then you’ll be brought back here to stay until the doctors give you the green light to leave, okay? Okay, um, before we, uh, go to the special room, can my husband and I just have a minute?

Sure. I’ll send the nurse to come get you in about ten minutes. Are

you going to do this every time we show up at a new place? Every single time. Wow. Wow. This place is really charming, isn’t it? It’s cozy. Private. Which means that we can be as loud as we want. Unlike Che DiMera. Well, that is a definite selling point. I wonder when was the last time anyone was here? Oh, well, judging by the firewood, quite a while.

So, I’m going to go outside and bring us some back in. Oh my god. Are you gonna chop down firewood to keep me warm? I am so turned on right now. Well, in that case, I won’t mention that Sarah told me there’s a wood pile outside. Yeah, definitely don’t mention that. Okay. Okay. All right, I’m gonna go chop some manly wood.

Woman, don’t worry, I’ll be back in two shakes of a lamp still.

Hey, Missy. What’s with the face? Do you like boys? Some of them. I don’t. I’m never getting married. Oh, yeah? Well, you don’t have to. What do you want to be when you grow up? A vet. No. A pilot. Wait! A professional scuba diver. To study sea animals. That sounds like fun. So you like animals, huh? Me too.

Rachel! Go upstairs. Why? Because I said so. Don’t you want me to paint your nails? Rachel! Now!

What the hell are you doing? We were just hanging out, that’s all. Well, not anymore. Do you understand? You stay away from my daughter.

Did you hear me? You stay away from Rachel. We were just doing manicures. That’s all. Like we used to. Like you used to. Well you used to not do drugs back then. I’m not doing drugs anymore. Oh Holly, is that just another lie? Like you lied about doing drugs before and let Tate take the fall? That boy was like a son to me.

Not to mention that he is Rachel’s half brother. How do you think she is gonna feel when she finds out what you did to him? You know what? Rachel and I No! No, no, no. There is no Rachel in you anymore. And unfortunately, we live in the same house. But mark my words, if I find you seeing her again, you will regret it.

Hey! That’s enough! You will not talk to her like that anymore! You know what? Rachel and Holly, they were getting down Oh, they were doing what? Doing their nails, listening to Cannibal Corpse? Are you serious? Okay, you know what? Rachel is my daughter, and I will decide who she spends time with. Oh, that is rich coming from you, considering your villainous history with Brady and Teresa, Malena, Eric, just to name a few.

Would you like me to list your villainous history? You know what? Get off your high horse, EJ. Okay. Oh,

that woman makes my blood boil. I, I’m sorry I lost my temper. I’m not. Thanks for having my back. You’re welcome. Um, if my sister gives you any more trouble, just let me know, alright? Okay. So, I

was, uh, thinking, you need help looking for a new place. Oh, I can manage. Eva, you really don’t have to go. You’ve been really good to me, Wendy. I appreciate it.

Okay, the fire. So we should start to warm up in here soon. Might take a little while, though. Well, you know, I have an idea of how we could speed that up. Oh, you do?

I will love you forever, my husband. I will love you forever, my beautiful wife. And dream a life Dream a life

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Alright, partner, you got anything? Bad news. I did several deep dive searches and nothing’s come up yet. Wherever Weston is, he’s definitely off the grid. God, I still can’t believe that son of a bitch got away. I damn well should have known that Ava would double crosses. Yeah, you know, I’m not gonna make excuses for her, but obviously she wasn’t thinking straight.

Worried about her son’s life and all. Yeah, well, her going rogue let Clyde and Goldman get away, which could have cost Tripp and Wendy their lives anyway. Yeah, yeah, it was a big league screw up, but you know I’ve been thinking. Yeah, what have you been thinking? How do we know that Ava doesn’t know more than she’s letting on?

Alright, you let me sleep in. Ah, well, you know, when the body speaks, you must listen. When you’re tired, sleep. When you’re hungry, Mmm.

Mmm. I was gonna say eat, but that works too. Mmm.

How you feeling? Slightly flushed. Elevated. Heartbeat. No, I meant What? I meant, I meant today. Oh. Oh, okay. So you mean, um Since I quit my job at the bistro.

You know I feel free.

The first time and I, wow. I don’t even, I don’t even remember. I feel like my life belongs to me again. It’s a great way to start a day. Yeah. You know, I can think of an even better way to start it. A penny for your thoughts. But

I always thought the price was a measly sum. Given inflation and Are you okay, Maggie? What is it? Oh, it’s just something I’ve been grappling with before. You know, I’m trying to reconcile in my mind the many sides of Victor. We, we all have our pasts, Maggie. Some more troubled than others, but what is important is that we are here in the present.

You are truly a remarkable man. I’m inspired by the woman that stands before me.

Now that is the very picture of being in the zone. What can I do for you, Alex? Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that your performance in the status update meeting was excellent. Very impressive. And I want to tell you that it’s very good to have you back here in the flesh. Not just on the screen. Oh, yeah screens just don’t cut it, huh?

I’d have to say it really is great to be back in the office. Seeing ad inventory go down while sales go up. Oh my god, it’s true. What? Uh, the word on the floor was that, uh, T Boss, uh, is back in the office, and here you are. Oh, yeah, you’re gonna have to find me a better nickname than that. No, no, it’s flattering.

If the marketing department doesn’t like you, they don’t give you a nickname. Okay, well, it doesn’t improve the name, but it does blunt the cringe, so Hey, um, I was gonna call you, but now that you’re here, I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute. It’s about Tate and Dolly. What? What did you do to our son now?

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

Mmm, now I’m gonna say this, and I can’t even believe I’m gonna say this. Vegan bacon? Vegan bacon, you made me a believer. Okay, well, I will just tell you that in my humble opinion, Tempeh is the undisputed king of the soybean genre. Well, it does, uh, it does taste good. Oh, you should check that. It might be about the audit.

Yes, it is. And? They wrapped it up. Hold on. Everything checks out at the bistro. The books are clean. And there’s nothing linking you to any illegal activity at all. Oh, thank God. Oh my gosh. Well, you know, Stephan taking responsibility for what happened. I mean, that was huge, obviously. Yeah, I mean, he had no choice.

It was either that or he was going to take the fall for attempted murder of a cop. Yeah, but I mean, the fact that he actually took responsibility, I mean, he took the fall. He did. Yeah. And it’s over. But from that look you just gave me, I’m not sure you really believe that. Look, Harris, I want to. I do, but too many people know that I was involved.

They know that it wasn’t just Stefan acting alone. Yeah, Clyde, and Steve, and John, I mean, even Tripp and Wendy suspected it. Yeah, but nobody’s gonna say anything. I mean, if Stefan doesn’t, you think, you think Clyde cares who takes the fall? And anything you did, you were forced to do. And nobody’s gonna say anything that contradicts Stefan’s statement because they all want to protect you.

Tripp, Wendy, Steve, and John.

Clyde has no power over you now. You’re free. You’re free to live your life. And you’re free to plan your future.

So what do you think, partner? Does Ava know something she’s not telling us? It’s hard to say. I do know she wants Weston to pay for what he did to Tripp. Yep, but this is Ava. Exactly. As soon as you think you can trust her, this, this time, and she won’t do something reckless or destructive, you’re quickly reminded that you’re nothing but a gullible fool.

Yeah, that’s a fact. All right, let’s talk to her again. Maybe she will remember something new that will help us put that Animal back in his cage because if Wesson hurts anybody else while he’s out there on the run, that’s on us Yeah, and I know that neither one of us can live with that What can’t you live with The tate showed up at holly’s yeah after we told him over and over again not to he just defied us He lied!

Were EJ and Nicole there? They were. They were. And after we all got over the shock of seeing him there, I told them, I said, you got to keep your daughter away from our son. Period. Well, it’s obvious that they see what we see. That these two kids are totally toxic for each other. But what just boggles my mind is, why does Tate still want to spend time with this girl after everything that she’s put into it?

Because this, this, this teen infatuation thing, it’s powerful. As, you know, as we know. But as long as the parents are aligned, and all of us agree that they should be a part, I think this thing will settle down. It’s all good. Brady, thank you so much. Oh, it’s okay. so much for handling this the way that you have.

Honestly, just so maturely, and you’re just so sensible. If I had been there, I would have completely lost it. Lisa, I almost lost it. Trust me. But, hey, we have to do what’s best for our, uh, our boy, right? Yeah. I’ve got to do what’s best for our son. I am still processing.

Your relationship with Victor. I mean, how did the two of you develop a friendship over the years? Considering our history as mortal enemies, I suppose it does seem rather implausible, but even in our darkest of moments, we both understood that there was a feeling of being a kindred spirit with one another.

And as I have told you, Victor became a very important part of my life. Yeah. As in yours, obviously. Obviously.

I didn’t think that I would ever fall in love again. When I lost Mickey. But I did. Victor was my second chapter.

I couldn’t have been more surprised. And he couldn’t have been more surprising. He had a heart as big as the cosmos. He was. And deep devotion for his family.

And that’s the Victor. That I, uh, knew and loved. Well, that is the Victor that you should remember. That we both should remember.

Sweetness. It’s a surprise. I thought you were going to work. Uh, well, I thought I’d pick up a little takeout on my way. So I parked in the back, came through the kitchen, and What can’t you live with? I can’t live with, uh, the thought that Clyde Weston got away. Or the fact that he’s still out there. Barney, we better get a move on here.

We don’t want to be late to that client meeting. Right. Hey, baby, can we talk later? Of course. Okay. I love you. Yeah. Love you. Bye.

You’re very kind, Constantine. You bring out the best in me, Maggie. As you did with Victor. You were his rock, clearly. His guiding star, if you will. We needed each other. We adored each other. And I’m still struggling with what I know about Victor’s past. Constantine. Talking to you and seeing how you’ve chosen to move forward with your life and, and you found peace.

Well, it’s given me hope. Hope is what holds us together. Hope is the light that shines on what may come. This place is turning into a manhouse! I beg your pardon. Am I interrupting?

Uh, look, I will be the first to admit that I was a fool when I was a teenager. But, uh, Holly and Tate, I did not bat in their league. Uh, me neither. But, um, however we handle this, we have to be united. Agreed? Yeah. We can only pray that EJ and Nicole are on the same page. Yeah. Oh, Roy, let me see that. What? I have to go.

I have a meeting in, like, ten minutes. Oh, hey, Teresa. By the way, on my way home, I was thinking about grabbing some chicken, making my world renowned chicken piccata for dinner. Oh, yeah, yum. I love your chicken piccata. Mm, good. Uh, what? Did I miss something? Oh, you didn’t tell him? Theresa moved back in with me.

Alright, speaking of what’s next for you, what do you want to be when you grow up, Ava? Oh, well, you know, when I was a kid, I had some crazy career aspirations. Fashion designer was at the top of the list. Okay. You know, when I was a kid, I used to just cut out all these images from magazines and put them on a board, kind of like a vision board.

I can see you doing that. But, you know, it was pretty obvious that wasn’t in the cards with my family, so. It’s all good. Because, you know, if I had gone to some elite fashion institute, I probably wouldn’t have found my love of cooking. And you know that’s my passion. I do, so maybe culinary school is the next move.

Mmm. Yes, it could be my calling, huh? Yeah. But whatever you decide, I just want you to know I’m, I’m gonna be there for you. I’m cheering you on. And eating the homework. And devouring the homework. Yeah. I believe in you.

That means more to me than you know.

That’s probably my groceries.

We need to talk about Weston. Maggie I’m not complaining. I’m

just a little tired. I love Thomas. I love Charlotte. They’re wonderful children. When does spring break end? Please, Julie, relax right here. It is time for my morning walkabout anyway. Maggie, I would like to continue our conversation if you will indulge me. Afternoon tea in the garden, perhaps? That would be lovely.

What did I walk in on?

Huh. I’m just surprised, that’s all. You said you were going to be staying at the Salem Inn. I was, and then I, I ran into Alex. Yeah, and I pointed out that she never really moved out of my place. I mean, half of her belongings are still there. Yeah, so, yay, we’re roomies again. Uh, okay, I really, I really, I gotta go now.

Um, so, see you at home? Yeah, you got it, roomie. Rumi, really? Oh,

didn’t realize you had company. We can come back another time. No, no, this is about Clyde. I’d like to hear it too. Why? Well, we were going over everything we knew about him. We got to thinking that maybe you have Remember, it’s something new that could trigger lead force. Hmm. Yeah, I wish I did. You know, it’s not like I was Clyde’s confidant.

I, um, I want him caught and put away just as much as anyone else. Yeah, and you guys know, law enforcement’s putting a lot of resources into finding him, and you guys are really great at your job, so the more eyes looking for Clyde, the better. Definitely. Yeah, and obviously this, I don’t even have to say this, if you guys find anything, you just let us know, because I wouldn’t want you taking things into your own hands if, uh, if you know what I mean.

Wouldn’t dream of it.

Well, we’ve taken up enough of everyone’s time. But, uh, no stone unturned, right? Right. Well, look, I’m gonna go, uh, pull myself together, get ready to start my day.

Let’s, uh, let’s keep each other in the loop. Hundred percent. Hey, Why don’t you go on ahead? I want to pick Harris brain about a couple things. Alright then. I’ll see you back at the office. Yeah.

Well, so now that we’re keeping each other in the loop, Any chance I can get a look at Goldman’s personnel file? We, we scoured everything we have on her. Ah, fresh eyes can’t hurt. John, you know, come on, it’s against policy. You already know that. Well, what I know is it might help put Weston behind bars.

Come on, Harris. You and I have both worked outside the proverbial lines from time to time.

Goldman’s personnel file, is that all you need? Yeah, that and I’ve got a question for you, and it’s personal. I mean, if it’s, you know, if it’s about No, no, no, no, it’s got nothing to do with that. This is about you and me. Something that we both have in common here. Let’s, um, let’s call it a shared experience, and I’m talking about what Megan did to you.

Yeah, I just, uh, you know, I try not to think about that. Yeah, and how’s that working out for you? In the beginning, that wasn’t good. Until I went to Bayview, and that helped a lot, mostly thanks to your wife. Yeah, well, she’s the best at what she does, but I wonder if, if it’s enough sometimes. What do you mean?

Well, what happened to you, what, what? What happened to me?

Aren’t you afraid you’re nothing but a ticking time bomb? And somehow, someway, at any time, it can happen all over again. How

terrible for him to lose his daughter that way, and what, what agony for John to think he was in any way responsible. Well, it’s been traumatic for him, obviously. And for me, too, frankly. Knowing that Victor played a part in it. I’m sorry, darling. You know, I’ve had to dig deep into my feelings about who Victor really was.

Well, Victor was, uh, complicated. A paradox. But then again, so is Doug. I mean, Doug certainly has a past. And look at him now. A model citizen, honest as the day is long, full of empathy for everyone and The most loving man I ever met. He is that. And Victor Victor’s great virtue was falling in love with you.

Aww. Because you brought out the best in him. Well, I don’t know about that. But I do know That you have a gift for saying just the right thing and lifting everyone’s spirits. Well, I try. Let’s have a toast. Okay. What are we toasting to? Oh, to us. Okay. Because. Yes. We know how to pick them. Okay.

So just like that, you and Teresa go from being almost engaged to roommates again. Why not? It was the chance for Teresa to find a place on her own. And there’s no hidden agenda here. If that’s what you’re wondering, Brady, okay. I just want what’s best for her personally and professionally. And I think she has the ability to make some serious waves here within the company.

You sound like granddad right there. Oh yeah. Yeah. You know, when it came to business, he always strived for excellence and he always wanted to set his people up for success. And I’m glad that you are pushing that legacy forward, Alex. I like it.

You know, when I found out Victor was my father, it just put this whole other level of pressure on me when it comes to the family business, so Just want to make him proud. I think if you stick to who you are and know that what you’re doing is right, yeah, I think Victor would be very proud. Appreciate that, man.

Speaking of father and sons, I’m happy to hear that Tate was exonerated. It’s gotta be a huge relief for you and Theresa now that he’s home, right? Yeah. Despite some challenges that may be coming with it. I assume you overheard most of what we were saying and Yeah. You get the gist of the challenge, right?

I do. I mean, aside from just wanting my son to be, you know Stable and healthy and generous and kind. I want them to know what a healthy relationship is. There’s nothing more important. Agreed. Which is why I want the same thing for Teresa. The mother of my son. Which is why I’m going to say this to you again.

Told you in Greece when you two were getting to know each other. Alex, don’t screw with her.

Oh. Damn it, Constantine, you are like a bad penny. I have been trying to reach you. You never respond. Yeah, well, I’ve been busy and this is going to surprise you. But the world doesn’t revolve around you. I’m in a rush. Actually, I would like an update on your relationship with Alex Kiriakis, if you don’t mind.

Given the fact that you made a rather rash and idiotic breakup. Okay. You’ll be pleased to hear that I have moved back into Alex’s apartment. I am pleased to hear that. Yeah, but don’t get too excited because I’m keeping it strictly platonic. Just roommates in separate rooms. For now. I’m not moving fast enough for you, huh?

Actually, Theresa, what I’m about to say might surprise you.

Ben.

Ah, what did you do?

Can’t I just bring my wife some flowers? Uh uh. No, ma’am. I don’t think so. Unless you’ve done something that you know I’m not going to be happy about. And since I already know something’s going on with you, it was so obvious at the pub. Talk to me.

I hate keeping secrets from you, baby. Well, then don’t. But I don’t want to put you in a position of having to lie for me. Come on. After all these years, you know that I have your back, and I will do anything for you. So tell me what’s going on. I think you might want to sit down. It’s a long story.

I’d be lying if I said that didn’t cross my mind. That it could happen all over again, as you just put it. But, working with the doctors, I Working on myself, that saved me. I still have to live with what I did, that’s, that’s never gonna change. And John, in the beginning, I, I, it was tough, man. Like, I was so, so overwhelmed from the guilt.

How’d you deal with it? I just kept reminding myself, like I do now every day, that those actions were not committed freely. That my will was not my own. Therefore, I was not responsible for those actions. We’re still struggling. I can, I can see it. And look, it took me a long time to come to terms with my past.

And I hope I’m not making it sound like it was easy. No, no, you’re not at all. Okay, John, you, what happened to you? You have to tell yourself over and over every single day that it was not your fault. It was not your fault. You got to put the blame where the blame belongs on the people who try to control you.

Because you and I were victims. But to continue not to be victimized by them,

you have to forgive yourself.

Look at this straight. You, John, and Ava created this whole hazmat incident as a cover for, what’s the word you use? Um, an extraction, an extraction of Clyde Weston from Statesville. So many words, yeah, that’s about right. So you’re telling me that you broke a dangerous criminal off? A, uh, convicted murderer.

In fact, the man who murdered our niece, Abigail, out of prison. What the hell? I was desperate, Kayla. Tripp and Wendy were missing. I was afraid I would never see my son again. So you essentially negotiated with a terrorist. What choice did I have? I knew that Weston would kill Tripp and Wendy without batting an eye if he didn’t get what he wanted.

I had to do something. Oh, so breaking him out of prison was your only course of action. And oh, how shocking that Ava double crossed you. John and I should have anticipated that. Yeah, maybe you should have. I mean, how on earth did you I can’t believe that you would trust her. Listen, everything was moving so fast.

Time was not on our side, and I thought I was going to lose my son. I knew it was dangerous. I knew it going in. But you still went in. My God, Steve. How could you do something so stupid? You

know, Brady, you’ve given me a lot of insight to Teresa, and a lot of, um You know, advice. The past few months. From making sure she feels accepted at work, to being aware that she’s fragile and needy, and that a recovered addict is always on the verge of a relapse. I never said that. Well, it was a subtext of everything you said.

And now you’re telling me not to screw with her. Alex, I don’t want things to end badly for her. I just want her to be okay. Not just for her sake, but for my son’s sake. Right, you know? Right, absolutely. And I get your point on that concern. Right. It just seems like it goes further than that. You know, with this little intervention, if you will, as well as all your previous ones, it suggests to me that you are far more interested in Teresa than just being the mother of your child.

Not so. Are you sure? I’m very, very sure about that. Look, I, I want her to be happy, I want her to be stable. Her life is complicated enough without having to deal with Kristen. Now, why would she have to deal with Kristen? Alex, She’s gonna be around, right? I mean, since you and Kristen are, uh, dating? Right, right.

And that would be a plus for you, wouldn’t it? Because if Kristen is around, as you put it, that could just drive Teresa right back into your arms, wouldn’t it? We’re doing this again? I mean Alright, let’s, let’s do it again. Listen, I, I am not interested in Teresa that way. As I said, I want her happy, I want her stable.

That is the extent of my concern for her. That’s it. Done. Period. End of story. Truth be told, you’re not very convincing. I think you’re lying to yourself. And then I think I should probably just go. Okay, well, just know that Teresa’s back under my roof, Brady, whether you like it or not. And whatever happens, or does not happen, between Teresa and I is between her and I.

Notice served. Loud and clear. Cheers.

Allow me to provide a little insight into the mind of a man. How many times can I say no thanks? Nothing attracts men like Alex more than forbidden food. I have observed this type over the years. The forbidden fruit type, yeah, got it. A rare specimen among the male species. You know, I have to say, I really, really treasure your expertise, Constantine.

It truly, it is just revolutionary. Mock me if you like, but we both know that men like Alex, we want what they cannot have. So you must provide that, create that illusion for him. So he will run right into your arms. And your pet. Mm hmm. Yeah, I already knew that. And you’ll be pleased to know that my plan is to create a slow burn until Alex’s Oh, forgive the purple prose here.

Consumed by the flames of passion.

You think I’m proud of what I did? I wish I hadn’t agreed to it. But I’m telling you, baby, it was just this This awful, sudden convergence of events. Can you at least try to understand that? No, I can’t. I can’t understand why you ever trusted Ava. I keep telling you why because I was desperate. I thought my son was gonna die.

And yeah, things would have been different if Ava had come to me in the first place, as soon as Weston got his hooks into her. But she didn’t, did she? Because she is incapable of thinking about anybody but herself, or thinking about the possible consequences of her actions before it’s too late. I know that.

You don’t have to remind me of that. Well, obviously I do. Because you were deceived by her once again, and in the worst possible way. And every time we are sucked into Ava Vitale’s little dark vortex, we are the ones that suffer. And you and I both know that. No, no, actually, you know it better than I. You know it better than I do, or at least you should.

And yet And yet you let it happen again. And there is no damn excuse for that. None.

Hey, Dad. Hey, there he is. How you doing? Good, man. Where you coming from? Uh, work. Work. But I’m glad I ran into you, because I really actually want to talk to you. Everything okay? Yeah, with me, um, nothing to report, but, uh, I know that something’s been weighing on you, and I, look, man, I have not been that attentive.

I haven’t had the bandwidth to even like You’ve been totally fine here, so forget about me anyway. Let’s talk about something good for a change, like uh, Tate coming back home, huh? Yeah, no, it’s a relief. A big relief for him, huh? But um, we were thinking about going and checking out the Cubbies this weekend.

Their lineup is unreal, isn’t it? I know it is, I know it is. And I was thinking, why don’t you come? Come on, three generations in the stands. Hell yeah! Yeah? I love that. Alright, I’m so glad. I’m so glad you said yes. Legally it is. But, but, I want to know how you’re doing, seriously. Actually, I’m feeling a lot better today.

Yeah, I can see that. I see it in your eyes, it’s almost like you, I don’t know, you found some peace or something. Oh, kid, that’s what I’ve been praying for. I’m starting to think my prayers are finally being answered.

Have I told you lately how much you lift my spirits? Tell me more. I’d love to hear it. Well, it’s not just your words of wisdom and compassion, but it’s the way you keep that wonderful optimistic perspective, even, even in the darkest of times. Well, Maggie, what’s the alternative? Just to sink into despair.

Self pity is so unattractive.

Then I look at you and my whole faith in the human race rises up. You’re all heart, Maggie.

Speaking of heart, uh, how is your little granddaughter Holly doing? Um, she’s fine. Physically. Thank God! She confessed that the drugs she overdosed on were hers and not Tate’s. Oh, I’m so sorry. Yeah. On one hand, I’m relieved. I’m relieved that Tate’s home and free of the charges and Teresa and Brady have that weight lifted off their shoulders.

And on the other hand, I’m, I’m so sad to know that my granddaughter is using. Of course. Of course. You don’t have to shoulder this burden alone. You know Doug and I are here for you. Everyone is here for you. You’re not alone. Come to think of it, you’re not all that alone these days, are you? Because of Constantine, you mean?

Well You seem to be growing closer.

We are, actually. Um, He’s become a very good friend.

Hey. Oh, hey.

Getting some laundry done? Huh. Gave it away.

Did you, um, get the chicken? What? You know, the chicken you were going to make us your amazing chicken piccata. Right, yes, yes, I have the chickens right here. I’m going to bring it in the kitchen, and I’m going to take a shower, and then I’m going to start cooking.

Sounds good. Okay.

Mission close to accomplished. Is the coast clear? Commence. All clear. Good. We can do this. Okay.

What’s wrong? Nothing’s wrong. I’m just going to go to my place and grab some clothes. We don’t need clothes for what I’ve got planned. Oh, well I do need some for work. Okay, and assuming I’m going to stay the night. Oh, okay, right, right. Okay, I’ll be right back. Okay, well you know where I’ll be.

Oh,

hello. Well, hello there, little bitty. I bet you thought you were rid of me, huh?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mhm.

Good morning, Dad. Good morning. No, it’s a great morning. It’s a great morning because you’re finally home. Listen, coffee’s there, and I whipped up an amazing breakfast, which I will bring out. Okay? All your favorites. All right. Thank you, Dad. You’re welcome. Yeah, you’re welcome. I’m starving. How’d you sleep?

Um, great. Better than I have in months. I can imagine. You’re finally in your own room again. Yeah. You’re on bed. This is amazing. I just, I can’t believe that it’s April. I mean, three months wasted. I feel like I should still be telling people Happy New Year. Well, son, it is your new year. You know, because you’re finally a free guy again.

Hey, did you have fun over at, uh, what’s his name? Buddy? Buddy’s house? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I just hung out with a couple friends and they actually caught me up on all the cool viral videos that I missed while I was locked up. It’s good. It’s good. It’s good that you’re reconnecting with your friends again.

Yeah, make it up for lost time. Yeah, reconnecting was really great.

Well, your physical therapist was obviously impressed. And you’ve reached almost, what, 100 percent of your goals? Does that mean maybe I can stop going soon? You heard what she said, honey. You have a few more sessions, but you’re doing great. Listen, I’m, I’m really proud of your hard work. Are you proud enough to give me my phone back and let me leave the house by myself?

No. Not yet. Awesome. Well, at least I can be alone in my room, Mom. Honey. Holly!

Oh, I understand, Mr. Shinn. I know all too well the pain of losing a child. So I can’t imagine how terribly difficult this must be for you and your wife, losing your son, Lee. Yes, my brother Stefan has been put in jail, unfortunately, because he’s been in cahoots with Clyde Weston and his, um, drug ring. I know this must be dealt with, and rest assured, it will be.

Okay, so for my new Lady W Daily Horoscope page, you ready? Starting with Pisces, because I’m a Pisces. Hey, I’m a Pisces too. Chadwick! Well, perhaps you’ll want to take this to heart. Uh, probably not. Okay, here goes. Pickles will be a great source of joy for you this week. Tantric is not a cuss word you want to be using around the office.

Although it isn’t a cuss word at all, really. What it is is exhausting.

Okay, if you prefer, I can leave the tantric stuff out. You’re welcome. Chad, Leo. Good morning, Ev. Bobby, fellow Spectator employee. It’s Evan. What are you doing here? Well, uh, considering what’s been going on recently, I’ve been working from home, as you know. Um, but I thought I’d share this news with you in person since it directly affects you.

Me? Yeah. I was talking to my sources at Salem PD and they told me Stefan is in jail. What do you mean he’s in jail? I, I, I haven’t heard anything about that. There’s nothing out there yet about that. Do you mind telling us why? Chadwick’s brother is in jail? Not that it’s my business to ask, but he seems a bit too rattled by the news to do anything other than knit his brow and turn quite pale.

Chadwick, are you alright? No, I’m fine. It’s, I’m just, I’m, uh, Yeah, I’m in a bit of shock. I guess I shouldn’t be. Um, well, what do you, what do you know, Everett? Why is Stefan in jail? He confessed. To running drugs for Clyde Weston. Well, well,

I have to be on my way. Uh, Clyde meaning? Oh, and several more after that, actually. Wow, you’re working hard. No choice, really. Well, you know, now that we have a kid and all, just expenses are piling up. Yeah, I know. And my photography business isn’t quite raking in the money yet, so But it will. I’m sure in no time it’s gonna take right off.

Hey, you two. Hey, Stephanie. Hey. Oh, you brought the baby with you. We always do. Oh, look at him. He’s so sweet. And hey, you ever need a babysitter? Hey. Don’t hesitate to call. I miss being around babies. And kids. I especially miss being around Thomas and Charlotte. Yeah, I’m sure you do. I miss a lot of things, actually.

God, that sounded so self pitying. I just, I’m, uh, I’m going through a rough time. Is it about Everett? Did something happen? Yeah, something sure did. I was totally blindsided.

Well, hey. I didn’t think you’d be in today. Well, I’m not. I’m not officially. Uh huh. What’s all that stuff? I got it from my storage. It has all of my divorce documents in it, along with some other things like my receipts and tax docs. Right, right. From when you were living in Seattle with Robbie. Right. From that very awful time.

Although it did have its moments. Yeah. Listen, I, um, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what Vincent found. Oh, don’t be, because you know why? Vincent is misinformed. I am not still legally married to Bobby Stein. Somewhere in this box, there’s the proof.

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

Ah, that was fast. I told you I was starving. That was good. Thanks, Dad. You are welcome. So, uh, hey, what are you, what are you doing for spring break? You got plans? Or no, I thought I would still be locked up in the halfway house. So I didn’t make any. Right. Well, I have an idea. This weekend, the Cubbies are playing.

And they’re playing the Dodgers. So it’s gonna be a good game, and I was thinking maybe You wanna go? Yeah! Yeah? Yeah! Yeah, that sounds like fun. Good, good. Actually, I have to find my mitt, though, in case we get foul balls. You have to find it. Can’t find your mitt? You can have Dad’s mitt. Okay. Alright. Thanks.

Sure.

You know, buddy, I know, I know recently you’ve probably felt that like nobody believed you about the drugs and that no one was in your corner. And I understand how rough that must have been, but I want you to know that I, I’m proud of the way you handled it. Even when I stole mom’s phone and broke out of that halfway house?

No, I was not proud of that part, but my point is we make mistakes, right? I make mistakes, but it’s how we atone for them and amend and learn from our mistakes that builds character. And you have a hell of a lot of character, son. I’m glad you think so, dad. I do. I do, and I think you need to take, you know, the past and put it behind you.

Yeah, that’s, yeah. Why, why, why are you saying it like that? I just, I guess because I’m nervous to go back to school. Now that I have a phone, I can see what all the kids are saying about me and about what happened. Yeah, but you were, you know, you’re real friends. They, they, they They stood up for you, right?

Yeah, yeah, they did. Actually, Ted, do you mind if I take off for a while and I go hang out with them? Uh, sure. Yeah, which, which friends? Um, Ian and Aaron, the same friends I was with last night. We were actually, we were gonna go to the mall and check out some used video game deals. Okay, yeah, no, that, that sounds good.

I can give you a lift, because I’m on my way out. Totally fine, I can walk. It’s fine. Thank you. You can walk, okay. Alright, take care. Thanks, Dad. Have fun, man. Thanks.

Yes, finally! You found it? I found it. Decree of Divorce. Look at it, right there. That’s it, you found it. And you said you would. I gotta tell you, I am relieved to not be sleeping with a married woman. Don’t even joke like that.

So, Everett Is actually Bobby Stein. Apparently so. But he has no memory of being married to Jada. Claims he never laid eyes on her until they met here, in Salem. Wow, that is strange. And complicated. I don’t suppose that Jada ever really mentioned much about her marriage to Bobby? Nothing in depth about their marriage or divorce.

Well, it was obviously a very painful time for her. And now she finds out that I was the other woman. The one who came between her and her husband. Except, he doesn’t believe he ever was her husband. Anyway, it’s just, it’s crazy complicated, like you said. Hey, I hope for your own peace of mind you find forgiveness.

I hope so too. Because, You know, we’ll never really know whatever it was going through, will we? I just think that people shouldn’t judge unless they’ve walked in someone’s shoes.

Anyway, um, I wish I could stay in here more, but I have to meet a client now. Oh, of course. Stephanie, it was so nice to see you. You too. And good luck. Thanks. Hey, come here. Hey.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this, Steph. Yeah, well, I’m also sorry for the way I’ve handled it. Why do you say that? Well, it seems every time I Try to talk to Jada, she just gets more and more upset with me. See, she blames me for not knowing that Everett was married when we got together. Wonders why I didn’t do a background check.

Why I didn’t think it was odd that I never met his friends or family. And now that I know that. He cheated on her, blew up their marriage. Well, she’s furious that I haven’t turned my back on him.

Hey, so thanks for meeting with me this morning. Oh, of course. And coincidentally, I ran into Stephanie just a bit ago. Oh, did you? Yeah, I was having breakfast with Erica and the baby and she just walked in and she told us all about Everett and Bobby and how angry you were with her. Yeah. And him. Yeah, and I’m sure she played the victim role.

Poor Stephanie. So confused. Lost. Terrible luck with men. Well, she seemed, uh Well, she seemed really sad about the whole deal. I mean, why wouldn’t she be? But don’t worry, I didn’t let her know that you had just called, or let on to believe that I had known anything about what she was telling us. I just want you to know, I do keep client confidentiality very, very sacred.

Well, I do appreciate your discretion, but I just discovered this. So as you can see, Bobby and I are in fact legally divorced. Actually, I spoke with Rafe’s friend Vincent this morning and more details are coming to light. What details? Unfortunately, this is a legal divorce decree. But the one filed didn’t have Robert’s signature, only yours.

So, technically, you are still married to Mr. Stein. Well,

EJ confirmed that, uh, that Stefan confessed and was arrested. But he, uh, he declined to comment any further. Last time I saw Stefan, he was really drunk. It was an emotional mess. And, um Not knowing that he was involved in a drug rig and working under Clyde. I guess that makes sense. I don’t know, maybe it was a cry for help.

I’m sorry. I’ve got to go. I’ve got a lead on a story at Saxton’s I have to check out. Later, Gators. Okay, so I, I wrote up a story. Are we going to post it? Of course. You sure? Last time it looked like Stefan was involved in the Bistro drug ring, you asked me to look the other way. He was obviously not innocent that time either, so I don’t know.

Maybe you prefer I cover this up too. I’m sorry, excuse me. What, what the hell did your brother just say to you? The bistro, the OD, everything. It’s out of the piece, period. Damn it, Chad. That is outrageous. Not only is it outrageous, it is unfair to Holly Jonas. It is unfair to every single victim of the people who are perpetrating this.

How can you not see that? Yeah, how can you not see that? I call the shots. Now get back to work. And you, stay in your own lane from now on. Keep it down, baby. Come on, baby. Getting out of here.

So, you’ll do what you have to do. Listen, this is an assault on the integrity of this paper. Do what you have to do, Everett.

I will.

So, the Lamira board got wind of Stefan’s arrest. No surprises. And let me guess, the stocks are down, right? Oh, way down. And they are furious. They’re demanding that Stefan resign immediately as CEO, or they’re going to invoke the morality clause in his contract and kick him out. You can’t blame them. I don’t.

Not at all. They’ve been working hard to recreate a positive image for their customers and clients, and Stefan being connected to a drug ring, it’s, it’s, it’s the last thing that Tamira needs. EJ, you don’t think

What? Say it. I wonder if your brother’s responsible for the drugs that put Holly in a coma. It could be. All I do know is that Stefan helped Clyde traffic the drugs through the bistro because Clyde threatened to kill Gabby if he didn’t fall in line. In other words, He was trying to save his wife’s life.

Great. That doesn’t make it right. Yeah, well, none of this is right. Brady. Brady, this is a bad time. Well, given that my son lost three months of his life, you’re going to listen to what I have to say. Okay. What do you want, Brady? Nicole, I want what I already demanded. Alright? And since my demand seems to be going ignored, I’m I’m gonna remind you again, I want a public apology from E.

J. DiMera to Tate Black. Furthermore, I want D. A. DiMera to admit, with full remorse and full regret, that he was wrong. Egregiously so. To accuse my son of a crime that he did not commit that put him through hell. That’s what I want. That’s what I’m gonna get. For my son, for my son’s family. Do you have a problem with that, EJ?

But I don’t understand. I have the divorce decree right here. How is it not valid? Because Robert never signed the divorce papers. Right. And no one would have ever known that had the error not been discovered by Ray’s friend. Yeah, come on. Oh, it’s just for now. Oh, look, it would have come out eventually. I mean, you need that paper to be legit if you ever want to remarry again.

I mean, isn’t it better just to get it all over with now? Damn, I just, I can’t believe this is happening right now. Linda, this is not an insurmountable problem, okay? Not at all. Vincent already sent over the paperwork. All you have to do is get Robert Stein to sign them. Okay, I am going to do that. I’m going to do that right now.

Look, since the raid on the bistro didn’t actually uncover anything, I chose to believe my brother when he said he was innocent. Now, in hindsight, knowing what we know now, that was a mistake. That was my mistake. I own that. But no, we’re not going to cover anything up. You can write your damn story. Good.

Hey. Steph. Hey. Hope I’m not interrupting. No. What’s up? Well, I came to tell you that I decided to stay on as the Spectator’s PR person. That is great news. However ever it is, you and I discussed. I think it’s best if Chad be my primary point of contact. Okay, yeah. Um, makes sense. Oh, uh, excuse me. Sorry. Bobby, uh, Everett, or whatever you’re calling yourself.

I need you to meet me at the pub, right now. I can’t, I’m at work. It’s urgent, it won’t take more than five minutes of your time. Fine, I’ll see you soon.

I gotta run. More on the story? Not sure. But, uh, take a look at what I wrote. If you like it, post it. I’ll be back soon. What was that about?

I have no problem making a public apology to Tate. I didn’t think you would. Given what he’s been through, thanks to your bias against him, and your daughter’s deceit. Sweetheart, do you need anything? Nope, um, I’m just gonna take a walk around the garden. Hey, what are you doing? Shh, your

dad is here. What, my dad is in there? Yeah. Did he know you were coming here? No, no, no, no. Of course not. No, I told him I was going to the mall. And by the way, I’m sorry for throwing pebbles at your window, but since you don’t have a phone, it’s No, it’s, it’s okay. You’re just lucky I was in my room. Hello. I know.

Speaking of phones, I have a little surprise for you. Hmm. Oh my, is this a burner? Uh huh. Oh, And I already put my phone number in there, so we can talk anytime you just have to keep Damn right I will. You’re a lifesaver, Tate.

Ah! Look who’s here! It is the cutest father son duo on the planet. I’m Leo. And this guy, always giving me the sweetest, cutest little gummy smile. Hey Jude, what do you think of my new scarf? Oh, he’s unimpressed. What do you think of it? Snazzy, huh? And get this, I got it on sale at 99. In fact, everything in that store is on sale for at least 40 percent off right now.

If you want to go do a little shopping, I’m happy to watch Junior here for a minute. After all, I am his fairy godfather. He and I have a special connection, don’t we, my little sweet potato? That’s a very kind offer, but, uh, Sloane and I, uh, I’m kind of budgeting right now. We got a lot of expenses. Ah, yes.

Expenses. I’ll get you every time. Yeah. Well, moving off the crass subject of finances, that christening, what a marvelous ceremony. Truly, I was really honored to be included. Thank you. And thank you for such kind words. Well, I can be quite eloquent when the spirit moves me.

So, you’re doing okay? Adjusting to life on the outside? Uh, yeah, I’m doing so much better than just adjusting. Holly, I’m so relieved to be out of the halfway house. Weird people, stupid rules, cringy food. I mean it was beyond horrible. Tate, I’m really sorry. It’s okay. I’m out now. And I get to hang out with you.

So, Some spring break, right? Yeah, it was a total waste. I’m so not ready to go back to school. Yeah, me neither, but we don’t really have a choice. There is one good thing, and it’s our parents can’t keep us separated while we’re there. I know, right? So, how about we make a pact? What do you mean? Okay, um, let’s agree to find each other between periods.

And we’ll hold hands in the halls and talk. And then, and then for lunch we’ll find a really private secret space to, you know, be together with no one staring at us or anything. I have the perfect spot under the oak tree at the far end of the quad. Yes, that’s perfect. But in the meantime

Do you have the gardeners? Hey, why don’t we sneak up to my room before anyone sees us? And I’ll be sure to lock the door this time. Yeah, yeah, I’m down. Let’s just make sure the coast is clear.

Listen, Brady, I told Holly that she not only needs to apologize to Tate, but also to you and Teresa. Well, yeah, you need to make that clear to your husband as well. Although I will, as I said, issue a public apology to your son, do bear in mind that I went where the evidence pointed and did what the law allowed.

No, I will not bear that in mind, EJ, because the reason the evidence pointed towards my son is because of your bias against him, because of your hatred for Okay, okay, okay, stop. Both of you, please.

Excuse me. Honey. Look, none of this would have gotten out of hand if Holly didn’t do drugs in the first place. Or if she immediately told us the truth when she woke up from the coma and was lucid. And Tate screwed things up because he covered for Holly. In the beginning, anyway. But EJ, look, the truth is out now.

And the kids need us to be united. So we need to set a good example and do the right thing.

Well said, Nicole. And I agree that we all need to take the high road. So, Brady. I apologize for having accused your son of a crime it turns out he did not commit. The DA’s office will issue an appropriate statement as soon as possible. I look forward to that.

Hi, Jada. What, uh, what’s this about? It’s about a personal matter. I’ve hired Sloane Peterson as my lawyer. Okay. Hello, Mr. Stein. Uh, name is Lynch. Everett Lynch. Not according to the divorce papers. What divorce papers? Ours. I asked you for a divorce when I found out you were cheating on me. How many times do I have to tell you this?

I don’t remember you. Okay, so why would I remember being married, much less divorced? Well, I guess that last part is understandable. Apparently, you and I never actually got divorced. Under the law, we are still married.

Okay, well, uh, we’ll walk you out.

Take it. What the hell are you doing? My God. Holly. I can’t believe this.

I’m such an idiot for letting my brother use me like that. And then this story. Like anytime I think the DiMeras are rebuilding their image, something like this happens.

Hey, you okay? You distracted? Yeah, sorry. It’s about Everett. Yeah. That makes sense. Chad, it’s all such a mystery. Is he Everett? Is he Bobby? Should I hate him for deceiving Jada and me, or should I stand by him?

Just, I I don’t want to believe that he meant to hurt either of us.

Still married. Okay. Since I don’t remember being married in the first place. What you do or don’t remember is irrelevant at this point. Sloane, would you please just show him the papers? Here you go. You can just sign right here.

That’s it. I guess I will see you around. Uh, wait a minute! What? What the hell is this?

Damn, boy.

Dear Miss Peterson, it’s the month and you still haven’t paid rent.

Damn it, Tate, we are leaving right now. I told you, you were not allowed to see her. I want to see him, too. I don’t care. I don’t want my son to be around you, Holly, okay? You let him take the fall for your drug overdose and almost jeopardized his future. You Surprises me that he wants to be around you. Dad, I forgive her.

Well, you shouldn’t. Okay, um, I, I, I agree with Brady. You know, I think maybe you two shouldn’t hang out together. At least for the time being. No, no, you can’t do this to us. Dad, please. We’re not angry with each other. It’s only you guys who are angry. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. The adults agree on this. It’s for the best.

You two are not to see each other anymore.

Look, first and foremost, Seth, you gotta take care of yourself. Okay? And you do that by distancing yourself from Everett. I know right now you’re confused, and you’re hurt, and rightfully so. Okay, look, you asked yourself if you should stand by him. I don’t think that’s gonna be good for you, Steph. I mean, let him lean on somebody else for a change.

Sas just did. He doesn’t have anyone. Not in Salem. I will tell you what, what if What if I do it? What if I lend him an ear whenever he needs it? That’s very kind of you, Chad. With him, I don’t, I don’t think he’s gonna want to open up to you.

Take that personally, I guess. Listen, let him branch out then. Tell him to, uh, join a softball league or, or go to church. You know? I mean, find, find some way to meet new people. I don’t, I don’t think softball or church would interest him. Well, there’s plenty of other ways to meet people. Look, I This advice, I, you know, I don’t I don’t want it to come across as me sounding jealous, cause You know, that’s not it.

I just Look, you’re my friend. And I care about you a lot. And, and I just don’t want to see you get hurt any more than you already have. You

signed Everett Lynch. That’s who I am. Okay. Now I need you to sign Bobby Stein. That is who was married to Jada.

But I’m not that man.

Sorry. I can’t sign for him.

That’d be forgery. I’m, I’m so sorry, Detective Hunter. You’re, you’re gonna have to find another way to, to get your divorce. I’m sorry.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So, we have pistachios, we have granola bars, we have an oatmeal cookie, yes, and books. We have more books of my favorite Stephen King novels, The Stand, and The Shawshank Redemption. Oh, great. The books I’m actually gonna read, you know, cause my life still has no internet, no Wi Fi, So, you know, binge watching Yellowstone is just not in the cards for me, is it?

I’m not complaining. I’m not complaining. This is better than Statesville. Don’t get me wrong, okay? I just, you know, miss the daily brawls at Statesville every now and then. Break up the monotony of this whole place, but it’s okay. I’m at the point in my life right now where I’m, never thought I would say this, but I’m looking forward to Vespers.

You know, a month ago, I didn’t even know what Vespers were. So you’re, you’re praying a lot? Yes, Mom. I’m praying a lot. Praying that I get out of here. Praying that I can see my family. Praying that I get my life back.

Alex. Hi there. Hey, Dr. Evans. Hey. I haven’t seen you for a while. I know, right? Not since, um, the night Theresa left. Please, sit down. Thank you. Of course. I’m assuming Brady brought you up to speed on the latest? Yes, he did. He told me that you’d moved on with Kristen. I have to admit, it made me wonder. What?

It made me wonder why you would get involved with somebody who is so difficult. And I thought maybe you had some, you know, ulterior motive.

So, feel good to be home? Amazing, especially after having that stupid ankle monitor removed. Man, I hated that thing. Well, that thing is gone. We are just so glad that you’re here. So, do you want to take a nap or something? You gotta be exhausted, buddy. Are you kidding? I’m way too wound up to be tired. I’m also kind of hungry.

You hungry? Do we, should we get dinner? What do you want? What do you want? Uh, I’ve kind of been dreaming of a buddy’s burger with onion rings and that, that awesome ranch dipping sauce. Oh, okay. Alright. If you want a buddy’s burger with the onion rings and the amazing ranch dipping sauce, that’s what you’re gonna get.

Your dad’s gonna go out and get it for you. No problem. No, it’s okay. Don’t worry. Um, I, I really want to go out. I just, you know, want to be around people. What people? I, my, my friends. And, you know, I haven’t seen them in a while. I texted them when I got back. We just, we just wanted to hang out. Well, if Holly is one of those friends, you can forget it.

You’re going to stay right here.

Hey, Mom. Uh, Harold said you wanted to see me. Hi, Mom. Sit down, Holly.

Mom, please. Stop. Don’t say another word. Mom, I just. Honey. This is how this is gonna work. I’m going to talk, and you’re going to listen.

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

Okay, listen, if you’re insinuating that I’m not attracted to Kristen No, no, I wasn’t insinuating anything. Oh, there you are. Oh, I hope I’m not late. Uh, no, no, no, not at all. Uh, not at all. Uh, we’re just, um, Well, we’re, we’re having supper. We’re having kind of a girl’s night out. Oh, nice. Which I’ve been so looking forward to.

And so have I. I’m sorry, do you, do you know Alex Kiriakis? Yes, yes. We have met. Yes, we have, Mayor Price. Good to see you. Looking fabulous, might I add. And may I also add, I am very happy to hear about your recovery. You’re amazing. Not that we all didn’t already know that. Hmm, okay. Uh, is there anything else?

Why are you buttering me up, Mr. Kiriakis? Is there any particular reason? Not at all. I just appreciate strong, beautiful women. That’s all. Oh, I have a feeling that you appreciate a whole lot of women. And I was just leaving for the night. Thank you both, Dr. Evans. Very good to see you. See you soon, Alex. Is he your patient?

Never mind, never mind, I know you can’t answer that. Anyway, I hope he is because I’m guessing that, that guy needs some help. How are you, Paulina? Good. I am just fine and so very grateful that you asked me out. It’s been too long. Has been too long. Has been too long. I was hoping that I could take you to the bistro, but sadly it hasn’t reopened yet.

Probably, probably for the best, for me anyway. Oh, at least I don’t have to stare at all. Buttery French food that I can’t eat while I’m on this miserable low iodine diet before my treatment. Well, hopefully you will find something in this menu to your liking. Oh, I know I can without even looking. I’m gonna have a vodka meat.

Waiter!

Lucas, I’m praying too. Really? I was just hoping you could do a little bit more than that, but Okay, like, like what? You knew that the, that the deal to shorten your sentence was never finalized, right? Right. I know that. It’s not my fault that I got attacked before I could do what I had to do, before I could out Weston.

Well, of course not. But the point is, he escaped, so I don’t know what we have now to persuade them to let you out early. So what are you saying? What are you saying, Mom? I’m stuck here? I just gotta do my time.

Did I say Holly? Did I even mention her name? Holly is one of your friends, right? Is she not? So what? Why are you even asking me that? Are you guys gonna continue to treat me like a prisoner? And my god, I’ve been stuck in rehab and then a halfway house for months for no reason! We don’t think that you are a prisoner, we just We don’t want you seeing or speaking to Holly Jonas for obvious reasons.

We know you’ve been cooped up. We know you’re anxious to get out there and see your friends, but I think your mom, I think she was hoping that you would just stick around here tonight, you know? We missed you. I’ve missed you guys too, but I saw you when you came to visit. I haven’t seen my friends in forever.

So please, just for tonight, can I go out? Just to be a thousand percent. Sure, you are not going to see I’m not going to see Holly Okay, then then I want you to have fun And uh, have a good time, okay, thanks dad. I’ll see you mom. I promise I won’t be out late Better not be

What do you think your consequences should be for what you did To be honest, I kind of thought I’d be grounded by now Yeah, well, I wanted to make sure that I thought things through and that I wasn’t coming from a place of anger or embarrassment or hurt. And I know the purpose of consequences is to stop the behavior from happening in the future, obviously.

So you talk about in therapy, Dr. Evans. We talk about a lot of things. Mostly me. Well, frankly, honey, that’s none of your business. And like I said, I just, I wanted to make sure that the punishment fit the crime. And what you did, honey, was a crime. You lied to the police. You let EJ prosecute an innocent bystander who was your friend.

And I know you said you were trying to protect me. And even if that was true. It is true. Regardless. I think part of you was just trying to protect yourself.

Let me be clear, honey. I am the one who is supposed to protect you, and if you just had been open and honest with me from the beginning, none of this would have happened. It’s true. So whatever punishment you have for me, I know I deserve it.

Okay, Lucas, look. We can’t just give up, okay? I’m not giving up on getting you out of here. I’m just not doing that. It has to count for something, that you almost got killed because you informed on Clyde. Alright? Look it, Harris has recovered, he’s out of the hospital, so You know what? He needs to step up.

He got me into this mess. He keeps making promises he can’t keep. Okay. Trust me. If he doesn’t come through on his promises, then I’m going straight to the governor. And I’m going to do something about this. Cause one way or another, you’re getting your freedom back.

Now, mind you, I’m not supposed to be having more than one alcoholic drink a day on this diet. Uh, and mostly I’ve been drinking water and club soda. I’m glad to hear that. But I decided to indulge tonight because I’m having a girl’s night out. Like you said, with a different, I’m glad we can make this happen.

Me too. Me too. But I’m telling you more later for a no big deal. Cancer, this treatment, ooh, some pain in the ass. Mind you, mind you. I am very grateful that I am alive to be going through this pain in the ass treatment. We are all so grateful. And I suspect that it might be difficult for you to, to be in isolation.

You’re just, you’re normally so active. Oh, I am dreading not being able to see someone’s eyes glaze over when I talk their ear off. You don’t do that. You’re a wonderful conversationalist. And maybe you’ll be able to relish the quiet. Oh, I highly doubt it. See, I got weeks of that when I was in the hospital, so I’m over it.

Truth is, there is nothing about sitting in isolation that I am going to relish. Especially being separated from my husband. Well, the first thing you’re going to do is make amends with Tate. Well, that’s a little hard to do seeing as his parents don’t want me to see him. And you’re going to respect their wishes by writing to them.

And to him, letters by hand, not text or snap. Mom, Tate knows how sorry I am. Good, and you’re gonna remind him. Very sincerely. And very empathetically. Honey, you You took months away from Tate’s life that you can never give back. And quite frankly, I’m surprised that he found it in his heart to forgive you.

Have you, Mom? Will you ever forgive me?

Tate? I didn’t realize you were allowed to Wait, are you supposed to be out here right now? I’m supposed to be wherever I want. Yeah, but you can get in big trouble if you get caught. No, I can’t. I was, uh, I was just released today. Okay. What? Really? Yes. Really. That’s great news, man. I’m happy for you. You don’t have to pretend to care.

That you’re happy. I’m free now. I’m not stupid, alright? And I know you broke up with my mom, and I know you were two seconds away from calling the cops on me just now. Ugh.

Sorry the tape flew out of here so fast. Yeah, well, I can’t blame him. I mean, what kid wants to stay home with their parents and eat cake? I don’t know, I think that chocolate cake was a pretty good reason to hang around. As are you. Back at you. I just can’t believe he’s finally home. You know, I thought this day would never come.

I know. Kind of feels like the nightmare is finally over. Thank God. I don’t think Tate’s going to be too happy though when he sees that all my stuff has kind of taken over his room. I have to clear out of there and, uh Teresa, Teresa. He packs light anyway. There’s no reason he can’t just stay on the couch.

No. He can’t. No, absolutely not. The poor kid hasn’t slept in his own bed in months. I’m not going to do that to him. Okay, then, then, then why don’t you just sleep in my bed?

Uh, and, uh, Marlena, while we’re on the subject of my previous hospital stay, there is something I’d like to ask you about my, uh, well, My near death experience. Okay. See, now I’ve, I’ve heard about what happens when you’re, uh, brain dead. That the brain releases neurochemicals that Make, make you see things that aren’t there.

Did you see something that wasn’t there? I did. At least I think I did. Maybe I was just dreaming. But it all felt so real. First, There was this bright light. That’s a very common occurrence. You know that? Yes. Yes. I do know that. But then

Marlena, do you believe in ghosts?

To be perfectly clear, your mother was the one who broke up with me more or less. Oh yeah. And I’m actually very happy to hear that you’ve been released. Hey, If you remember, I was the guy who hired your first lawyer. And if your mom didn’t fire him, you might have gotten out a long time ago. Not that I’m blaming her at all.

I’m just really happy everything worked out in the end. Me too. Obviously. Yeah. So your mom was crashing in your old room, right? Where’s she gonna go now that you’re home? Uh, I don’t know. I hadn’t really thought about it. Your bed?

Yeah. I mean, you can, uh, you can sleep in my bed and I’ll sleep on the couch. Oh, wait a minute, you Did you, did you think that I meant No. No. No. No, I didn’t think that. Absolutely not. Uh huh. Anyway, I wouldn’t take your bed. That wouldn’t be right. Theresa, I would be totally fine with it, okay? No. I wouldn’t do that.

So, I guess there’s only one thing left for me to do. And what would that be? It’s time for me to move out. Where are you gonna go? I don’t know. I’ll rent a room at the Salem Inn. I’ll figure it out. Theresa, you don’t have to do that. Yes, I do. I’m moving out, Brady. I think this is best for everybody. Of course I forgive you.

I’m so, I’m, I’m, I’m angry and I’m sad. I’m done. And I’m scared. Scared? Why? Mom, I’m fine. For now. Honey, how long were you using drugs before what happened on New Year’s? A few weeks. That’s all, I swear. And the drugs you were taking? Where did you get them? At school. And not to like, freak you out mom, but they’re kind of everywhere.

I know, honey, I’m aware of that. But mom, you gotta know that after what happened, oh my god, I will never, ever use again. I sure as hell hope not. And I hope that there are fewer drugs on the streets, at least in Salem anyway, now that Clyde Weston’s drug ring has been busted. Yeah, but, Mom, you also have to know that I never thought something like this could happen.

I mean, so many kids have prescriptions for these pills. Yes, but they’re using them for a medical condition. You’re not. And honey, you have no idea what you’re getting off the streets. And you learned that in the hardest way possible. Believe me, Mom, I’ve learned my lesson. Have you?

I mean, have you used or, or had a drink since that night, since New Year’s Eve? A drink? A drink. You know alcohol is a drug too. And I shouldn’t have to remind you that you are underage. Uh, Okay, well, After the christening, when Eric gave me an ultimatum to tell you the truth, I, I was really nervous and scared, so, So I had some champagne.

Great. Right under my nose. You were busy, and I was very stealth, and it was only two glasses. I promise nobody could even tell.

Well, thank you for being honest with me, Holly. But I need to be honest with you. I want to trust you. I do. But now you’ve just shown me that I can’t.

My fate lies in the hands of Harris Michaels. That’s great. Swell. It’s worked out so far. Look, Lucas. He saved my life. Yeah. Well, he almost got you killed, so. Well, you, my friend, have to have a little faith, okay? But in the meantime, I need you to promise me that no matter how bored you get, you will not leave this place.

No matter what. Because let me tell you, Clyde has eyes and ears everywhere. Even at the Salem PD. What does that bastard want with me? I can’t bring him down. You said it yourself. Okay. Well, I probably know him better than anyone. And let me tell you, that man, unfortunately, is all about revenge. Oh, great.

Great. So even if I get out of Statesville, what’s going to happen? I’m not going to be safe until he’s dead? Paulina, tell me about what happened in the hospital. Tell me about this near death experience. Um,

Buckle up, Marlena. Because you’re gonna think I’m crazy. That word is not in my vocabulary. Well, then, you’re gonna think I’m clinically insane. Look, whatever happened, it brought you back to us, and for that we will always be grateful. Well, it’s lovely to hear that. Okay. So then, uh, here goes.

After I saw the light, Abe’s late wife, Lexi, appeared. At first I thought she was going to take me into the light, you know, to cross to the other side. But she wasn’t. She told me she wanted me to stay with Abraham. Then, all of a sudden, I was healed. He got his memory back. It was a double miracle. That it was.

And look now, I know, I know, I know I had a lot of medication in me. But, Abe, he saw the same thing. Now, do you, so, do you, you think that, Really could have happened.

Do you answering a question with a question that what they teach you to do in shrink school now and then? Yeah, that’s what I figured. Joking aside now. Yeah, I’m just I’m just starting to, you know, to wonder. Wonder what? Well, you know, you know, uh, I heard Kate’s voice from, you know, in the, you know, outside of that urn, you know, at the Brady pub, way back, when she was supposed to be dead.

So, You think maybe I have some kind of extrasensory perception or something? Hmm. You know, there are so many things in this world that we don’t understand. I think nothing would surprise me anymore.

I’m not really sure where she’s gonna live, but I’m sure she’ll figure it out. She always does. Hey, Tate, um, would you mind just letting her know how happy I am that everything worked out okay for you? Why don’t you tell her yourself? You guys work together, right? Yeah, well, she’s kind of been avoiding me at the office, so.

Mm, yeah. You know, I feel like there’s a simple solution to that problem. One that doesn’t involve, you know, playing telephone through me. You are very mature for your age, young man. Has anybody ever told you that? I don’t think so, yeah. Nobody’s ever told me that either, so.

Hey man, if you don’t mind me asking, and you talking about it, what happened? How did you get released? Uh, Holly finally remembered that the drugs she overdid on were hers. What do you mean she finally remembered? Wouldn’t she know that, like, all along? Hard to say. Or you just don’t want to say? At all. That she let you take the fall for her, didn’t she?

It’s, it’s complicated. She was going through a lot. Oh my god, you are covering for a girl who put you through absolute hell. You are a better man than me, my friend. I don’t think I would ever be able to forgive somebody who screwed me over like that. You sure I can’t talk you into staying? You know, I don’t know.

I think it’s best that I just walk out of here on a high note. Instead of you and me fighting, for once we fought together. For Tate. And we won. We did. We’ve come a long way, baby. Yeah, we have. I will, uh, I’ll miss having you around. Ditto.

I’ll see you at the office, right? Uh, yeah, no, actually, I’ve been working remotely since I broke things off with Alex. You know, it’s less awkward that way. Look, Theresa, if you want, I can help smooth that over a little bit. No. No. It’s okay. I’m a big girl. I can, I can handle it. I know. Then I will, uh, See you sometime, somewhere else.

Yeah, definitely. Gee, I can help you with those bags if you want. No, I’m good. Thank you. And I’ll write a thank you note to John and Marlena for letting me stay.

Take care, Brady.

I don’t get it. I just told you the truth and now all of a sudden you don’t trust me? You almost died, Holly. And you still clearly have not learned your lesson. Mom. And the only way to earn my trust back is through time and hard work. So the first thing that you’re gonna do is go to therapy. And not because it’s a punishment.

I just think you need it after all the trauma that you went through. And that is non negotiable. Okay. Fine. Yes. And if the therapist thinks that you need further treatment, then Like rehab? Mom, no. Don’t tell me no. You just admitted that you drank shortly after you came out of a coma from a drug overdose.

I hadn’t just come out of it. I’d been okay for a while. And what, like, you haven’t had two glasses of champagne when you were my age? Come on, you were doing a lot Excuse me! Don’t you dare, don’t you dare throw my past in my face! That was different.

I thought at the very least you would be contrite. I am. I’m sorry. Really sorry.

Honey, can you even grasp what you have put Tate and Tate’s family through? He was beat up in jail. I was in a coma, Mom. For months. It’s not my fault that EJ went ballistic on him. Tate discouraged you from taking those drugs. He was trying to protect you. And the only reason he was made out to be a villain was because EJ believed me when I said you would never take drugs.

Okay.

The only way, um, that I’m gonna feel better about this whole thing is that I make sure that you are no longer in danger of relapsing. Which means you are grounded indefinitely. What? You can’t do that! I have to see my friend! Well, then you can see your friends here. Now give me your phone and your car keys.

Oh my Now!

You know, I’m pretty sure I can swing an exemption to the no visitor policy since I’m on staff at the hospital. Oh, no, no, no, no. I would not want you exposing yourself to radiation, Marlena. I wouldn’t be. I’d be able to wear the suit and keep my visits very brief. You sure? Oh, I’m sure. Oh, oh, you’re a good friend, Molly.

Oh, and I’m a terrible one. Why would you say that? Because here we’ve been talking about me the whole time and I haven’t asked you a thing about you. Your life has been a whole lot more exciting than mine the last couple weeks. I find that hard to believe. You know, to be honest, you, you don’t, you don’t seem like yourself.

Is everything alright? Oh, I’m not covering very well. Oh, no, I can tell. You’re making the effort, but, uh, I can see the worry in your face. Uh, but hey, you know, if you don’t want to talk about it No, you know, the thing is that it’s, it’s about John. He’s been going through a lot of revelations about his past.

Oh, I’m very sorry to hear that. Ooh, well I’ve been there myself and I know it can be difficult to exercise those deep, uh, to move on. Yeah, well. He, he will be fine. He’ll get through it just fine. And I’m, and I’m there to support him and help him. Yeah, I’m guessing this isn’t your first time at that rodeo.

Yeah. No. But John’s been going through this for a very long time. Well, He’s lucky to have you. I’m lucky to have him too.

We both are.

To us. Amen to that.

Hey, Teresa. Can I help you with that? Uh, no, I’m

Actually, Yeah, that would be great, yeah. You know, I just ran into Tate. I told him to tell you how happy I am that he’s out of the halfway house. But I guess now I’m actually telling you that myself. Hmm. Yeah, right. Um, hey, thank you for what you did to support him. In case I didn’t show my appreciation. No, no, you didn’t.

I also asked him where you’re going to be crashing now that he’s home. I’m gonna get a room at the Salem Inn until I figure out a more permanent solution. Why? What do you mean, why? I mean, half of your belongings are at my place, which is, you know, a little hard to believe considering you have all this here.

Anyway, why would you be spending money on a hotel room? We started this thing off as a platonic living arrangement, and there’s no reason why we couldn’t get back to it. Um, actually, I can think of a few reasons.

Oh my God, you want me to give up my phone and my freedom? Those are the terms. No. Excuse me? Did you just say no to me? Let me remind you who is in charge here. I’ve been in a coma for months, Mom. I haven’t seen my friends. I haven’t done anything but sleep and almost die. If you’re so happy I’m alive, then why won’t you just let me live?

Giving up your phone isn’t going to kill you. Yes, it will. My entire life is on that. Well, that’s your first problem. That’s funny, because you didn’t think so when you got it for me when I was only 10. So then when I walked myself home from school, you’d know I got there. So I could be completely self sufficient when you weren’t around.

Order my own meals, buy my own clothes. That way you wouldn’t have to think about me at all. Whoa, whoa, that is not true. Well, here’s what is true. You’re punishing me for lying and the only, yes, the only reason I lied was so that you wouldn’t think you were a bad mom. But, you know what? The truth is I started taking those drugs because you were completely checked out.

My father died before I was born and all I’ve ever had was you. I mean, yeah, sure, there was Eric before you screwed that up and made him walk out on us. And now there’s EJ who doesn’t give a damn about me and God knows who will be next year.

Give me your phone. Now.

Here, but I’m not giving you the password. Hallie, I’m not going to go through your phone. I just don’t want you to call any dealers. Dealers? Really? Geez, Mom, why do you always have to be so extreme? Oh, you want to go there? Okay. Okay. You plotted to break up Johnny and Chanel, and now you’re all up in it with Tate?

Seems you always want what you can’t have. Just like me. Honey, I love you. I love you with all my heart, and I will do anything to protect you, even if you hate me for it.

I’m gonna go upstairs to bed, and you should too. Good night. Mmm. Mmm.

Oh. Oh, you know, these carrot sticks have a lot more appeal when paired with vodka. Ha ha ha ha. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Maybe. It’s just the company. Oh, I agree. We should do this again soon. Oh, yes, yes, we should now. Soon as I’m un radioactive. Let’s make a date. Yes. You know, you’re going to come through this with flying colors.

Oh, well, I hope so. You know, Marlena, you and me. We’re some tough broads, aren’t we? We are some tough broads. To us. To us, your bride.

Well, thanks for bringing me all this stuff. Especially the books, I really like the books. Ah, more to come. Oh, great. No internet, no wifi, so books are important. I’m gonna be a nerd. Book, bookworm, nerd. It’s gonna be great. Yeah. Well, books are sad for the lonely soul. I’ll just say what they say. Thanks. Yeah, I’ve just never been so lonely for this long, ever, in my life.

You have to hang in there, okay? It’s not gonna be forever.

I hope you’re right. God, I hope you’re right.

No, no, no, no, Bray. Don’t you go there.

I don’t get it. The Salem Inn? It’s expensive. It’s not exactly homey. I mean, why would you stay there when you could just Move back in with me. You really don’t get it. Okay. Um, for starters, you’re dating Kristen DeMera. If I move back in with you, I don’t know. She might put out a hit on me. Teresa, please.

We’ve been on like two dates together. Okay. Uh, you’re also a gazillionaire. It’s not like you need a roommate. So you think I’m going to charge you rent? Come on. I’m just trying to lend. to a friend in need. But if you don’t want to take me up on my offer, I don’t. Well, now, hold on. I didn’t say that I didn’t want to move in.

I just, I don’t want things to blow up the way that they did. I obviously don’t want that either. So I will promise to be a perfect gentleman. But that is about the only thing I can promise. Take it or leave it. Fine, I’ll take it. Oh, great. Let’s go. You shouldn’t

be here. It’s okay, it’s okay, I wouldn’t tell your mom. Why didn’t you answer any of my texts? My mother confiscated my phone. Polly? Hey, gotta go. Okay. Okay. But I’ll see you soon.

What is it now?

I don’t wanna go to bed angry.

You know when you were a baby, like you said, it was you and me against the world. And when we were in Italy, I would watch her every breath. And I would wonder what you were thinking cause you couldn’t talk to me yet. But this, this just brought me back to that time in our lives. When I fought to be your mother.

I will always fight for you, honey. I love you so much and I, I just couldn’t bear to lose you. I just wanted you to know.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wow.

Well, when I called and told them to shut the place down, looks like they just threw their hands up and walked on out.

Now I sit in here. With Wendy and Tripp.

Stefan just strolled on in.

He had just shot you. And then I went out to loading dock and then That’s where I found you and

Thank God you did. Because I’m alive today because of you. Hey,

are you okay?

I’m just gonna go check the door again, I don’t Hey, hey, hey, the door is, the door is locked. Okay, you know that. I won’t When we were still in the hospital, before we even stepped foot in here, my mom had all the locks changed, she even had this, like, state of the art security system installed.

I’m sorry. I hate being like this. I’m not Usually paranoid or scared of my own shadow. Look, you have nothing to be sorry about. Okay? You are the bravest person that I know. I have hope. After what you went through, after what we both went through. I mean, it’s not like it’s easy to just move past that.

But you will. We both will. Gotta make it till we make it, right? Yeah,

definitely. I’m here for you, Wendy. Always, okay?

Hi. Hey. Hi. You wanna sit? Um.

So, how are you? Me? Uh, okay. I, uh, I had my first hypnosis. Oh? How’d that go? I don’t know, it’s sort of intense. I, uh, I saw something when I was under. Something that, uh,

scared the hell out of me. What? What did you see?

Tell me, Everett. I, uh,

I saw myself.

Hi, mister. Well, hi. Ready to call it a night? Well, I could be convinced. Your place or mine? Hmm. You know what? How about we go to the Brady pub first? Then we’ll decide, because I’m really craving a cup of chowder and a Brady burger. Hmm. You and me both.

Oh, man. I’m sorry. Um. Are they gonna take this? Do you know what, um, Is it alright if, uh, if I just maybe meet you there? Sure. Okay.

See you soon.

Hey Vince. Yeah. Did you find anything? What? Sorry I’m so late. Sarah! There’s a couple of lessons in emergency. Come here, quick, quick, quick. Check this out. Check this out. What is it? What? This is surveillance footage of Harris Michael’s unidentified shooter. When am I supposed to be noticing? Your pants.

Look closely, the stripes. I compared this picture To a photo of these fancy designer pants, and it’s a perfect match. Except, those pants are, well, they cost a bloody fortune, they’re like 2, 300, whereas my pants are like 40, generic, everyman, jogging pants. They’re just knockoffs of these. Okay. So, look very carefully at the stripes.

You’ll see the fancy designer pants, the stripes are thicker than they are on mine. Well, how can you be sure of that? I can be sure about what? Well, that your pants have a different stripe, a thinner one. The police have your pants, don’t they? Oh yeah, they do, but I have these. I have two more pairs of the same type, and here they are.

Remember when you were teasing me about my jogging uniform? Well, they’re on sale, so I’ve got a bunch more. Which means that Which means I finally have proof, Sarah. I’m proof that I’m innocent.

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

When you look at me, okay? After what we both went through, huh? How could you not be anxious? Scared of your own shadow, as you put it.

You know, I know you haven’t been sleeping well. No, hardly at all. In fact, when I do finally fall asleep,

I keep having this recurring dream where I’m just, I’m banging on the steel walls of that tank and I’m crying out for help and no one comes. And then when I wake up, I feel my heart pounding out of my chest.

I heard you talking in your sleep too. Shouting, in fact, get me out of here. I can’t breathe.

I didn’t realize that.

Look, you know what? I think that. We need What? Is to rewire our brains with happier thoughts. Okay, I’m all for it. But how? I mean, aside from faking it till we make it? Well, we’ll do both, okay? But, uh, by the rewiring our brains part, what Just have like a fun little date night.

Okay. Yeah, we’ll do something light. Something totally frivolous. And uh,

I have an idea. Don’t go too far.

Alright, dishwasher is running, trash is out, and the kitchen is clean. Oh, is there anything you can’t do? If there is, I haven’t found it yet. Okay, you know what, there is one thing you cannot do tonight, and that is cook dinner. I’m doing that, so why don’t you, uh, put on some music and pour yourself a drink?

Okay, how about I, uh, pour two drinks and keep you company while you cook? Ooh, you wanna be my sous chef? No. No. No, I’m actually gonna watch. Oh. Because, uh, you’re very easy on the eyes, Miss Vitale. Hmm. Back at you, Detective Michaels.

I don’t understand. You saw yourself? What does that mean?

I don’t know.

It was, it was me. Uh, Smiling. But, Different. Different? How? Um, It’s hard to explain. Like, I saw myself. A version of myself. And, uh, it frightened me. Well, what did Dr. Evans say about it? Uh, I didn’t tell her.

Hey, now, look at the stripes on these. Yeah, the width. Now look at those.

They are definitely not the same. No, they’re not. They’re not the bloody same. Oh my god, Xander! Oh, you are so brilliant! Nobody else would have noticed that. Except a man that’s fine for his life. And his family. Oh my god, no, let’s go see the police. Come on, what are we waiting for? Are you sure? No, I mean, of course, I never knew what I was gonna find.

I just thought, Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah, please, uh, send me all the scans. Alright. Alright, thanks a lot, man. I owe you one.

Damn, this is gonna get ugly.

Sarah! Xander? Detective, I have something you very much need to see. Yeah, well, honestly, this is not a great time. Well, this can’t wait, but it won’t take long. But why didn’t you tell Marlena what you saw? So she can help you figure out what it meant, that’s what she does. I know, I know, I know, I just, uh, I don’t know, I don’t know why I didn’t want to tell her about it.

I just wanted to get out of there and go somewhere familiar and nurse a drink, you know? Well, well, well, look at you two. Picking up right where you left off. Wow. That looks and smells amazing. I’ve just made my famous pudinesca. It’s not a complicated recipe as you saw. Well, I mean, it looked pretty complicated to me.

But honestly, I didn’t know that mincing garlic could be sexy. Until I watched you do it. Oh. Wait till you see me grate cheese. Although this time I gotta admit, admission’s not gonna be free. Oh, no? What, uh, what form of payment do you take? Oh, well we’re cashless, Commander, and our credit card machine is down, so You’re gonna have to come up with some kind of way.

Uh, I got an idea or two.

Okay, so this is my brilliant plan. Jenga. Uh, and remember, if you knock over the tower and you don’t yell, Timber, you have to drink. Uh, and I also took the liberty in ordering us your favorite, well, our favorite Pad Thai with shrimp and some of those summer rolls that look like little friendly deep sea creatures.

First, the Wendy. Sorry, I You remember what you said when we were still in the hospital? I said a lot of things. Yeah, well, this one is pretty important. So, I looked it up. I’ll just, I’ll read it. Low oxygen levels can impair both decision making abilities and judgment. Right? So, why did you look that up?

Well, I looked it up because I’m wondering if that’s why you proposed to me. And why I said yes.

Trip, is that the reason you got married?

Why we got married? No. No, it wasn’t the carbon dioxide. No, it’s uh It’s probably closer to, you know, in vino veritas. I know we weren’t drinking alcohol, but our inhibitions were lowered, and so we were saying things that we were already feeling. Just, I’ve been too afraid to say otherwise. Right. I suppose.

Wendy, I, I do not regret or take back anything that I said that night. Do you? I don’t know.

Look, when you admitted to me that even though you didn’t like that your parents put pressure on you to get married young, you did see marriage in your future.

Well because it seemed like our time was running out, I, I wanted to make that happen. For you. I wanted that for myself too, when we were in that tank, you know, losing oxygen, losing our. They are mine, so I look over at you, and I realized more than ever how much I loved you. And I love you. I just, I feel like we skipped over a few critical steps.

Like we just jumped right into wedding vows. I mean, it’s easy to say till death do us part when When you think death is just 10 minutes away

2015 Barolo 98 points Somalia’s dream And it is the most expensive bottle in the house We deserve it Hey Well, cheers to that yes and To surviving,

you know, uh, Harris, when you were in the hospital and I didn’t think you were gonna make it. I was, I was kind of beside myself, as you probably know. Yeah. There were, uh, rumors. To that effect. The rumors were true.

Because I thought I was going to lose the strongest, kindest, most loyal person I have ever known.

The best person I have ever known.

And just, being loved by you, it makes me think that

maybe I am okay. He wants to be with me.

You’re not just, okay.

How can I put this, um,

Just everything I want.

Just everything I need.

Stylish. And very cheap. See, look. See the stripe? Yeah. The stripe in the photo is thicker than that stripe. The shooter was wearing these fancy designer ones. With the ones on your desk, mine, you can get them at your local mall for less than the price of takeout. So, whoever this was, whoever set up Xander, clearly has the funds to afford designer jogging pants.

Yeah, and to put 50k in my bank account. Speaking of which, uh, do I get to keep that? Because, you know, the money’s already there, and I figure the son of a bitch owes me for everything he’s put me through. Well, that’s for the court to decide. Well, so, what do you think? This proves that Xander’s innocent, right?

Jada, I don’t understand why you have to do this. Why you have to give us a hard time. What hard time? It was a simple observation. You two are picking up right where you left off. Look, I get that you’re angry, but we are trying to figure this out. Right. Well, you have a whole lot to figure out, God knows.

There is. And Everett, I hope you don’t mind my telling Jada that you just came from therapy with Marlena. Oh, uh, no, I don’t mind anyone knowing. Very big of you. She hypnotized him. To try to access the things that he can’t remember. Right. So, what did you remember while you were under hypnosis, Bobby? Okay, you know, you don’t have to answer if you don’t, you’re not ready.

Well, I think I have a right to know, considering my life was greatly affected by the things that he can’t remember. Nope, you’re right. You do deserve to know, so, um, I’ll tell you. It’s pretty weird, and it’s probably not going to make sense to you, but, um, I saw myself, smiling.

You saw yourself smiling?

Okay, forgive me, but man, that sounds like some grade A narcissistic Bobby BS to me.

Maybe we should just go, huh? You know what? It’s okay. Alright? Jada’s anger toward me is totally justified. And I understand her skepticism about virtually everything I say. Jada, this may ring false to you, or hollow, But don’t. But, ever since we first met here, at the Brady Pub, on Valentine’s Day, virtually everything I have said to you is completely truthful.

Yeah, well, since you barely have a nodding acquaintance with the truth, Bobby, you’re right. Every word you speak does ring hollow to me. I mean, you’re, you’re claiming to not remember me. To not remember being married to me. How would you expect me to react to that? I expect you to be as upset and confused by it as I am.

And even though you, you probably think I’m, I’m, I’m inventing some, some crazy excuse for having hurt you the way that, that you say I did. But for me, not being able to remember being involved with you, much less married to you, it’s not just confusing, it’s agony. There’s no other word for it.

Maybe you could try to have a little compassion, Jada, and support him instead of condemning him. How about you do that? I’ll pass. All I can say is I am just so glad I don’t have to deal with Bobby Stein anymore. He’s all your stuff.

I will admit, I see a difference. This could be good news for you Xander. Why could it not be? It’s not what’s next. Well, we’ll get on it in the morning. Good job, you two. No, no, it was Alexander. He made this happen. Well, like I was telling Sarah earlier, I was highly motivated. I was fighting for my life and my family.

So,

Ali Horton, she was your first love?

Well, she was my first choice. Serious relationship. And before Allie? Was there anyone else? Oh yeah, there was this girl in high school I had a major crush on.

What about you? It was your first love. Was the guy Samir the skateboarding phenom? Okay, no. It was not Samir. I already told you, I was nine. So we were just best friends, that’s all. So, where’s love?

Freshman year of college. It was this guy, Cameron. We met in a cyber security elective. And, uh, we dated for a while. That was totally smitten. But then, he found someone else. And he broke it off. And, yeah, I was totally crushed at the time.

You know what? All of those relationships, all of them that fizzled out, they all led us to each other. For this moment. And I am so grateful for that.

And Wendy, if our love is real, it’ll last, right? Yeah, definitely. So how about this? We forget about the whole marriage proposal slash wedding in the beer tank and just go back to all those steps we missed. Sounds like a plan. Okay, more than in that case, Wendy Shannon. Would you like to go on a date with me tonight?

Right here. Right now.

Mm. Wow. Ava, that might’ve been the best meal I’ve ever had. Elso, uh, is that, did I say it right? That’s perfect. Mente. . Oh, I said it perfectly. Yes. No ban, but me and Mario, you know, we haven’t even had dessert. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of ideas about dessert. Oh, yeah. Mm-Hmm. . Mm-Hmm. the, uh, kind of dessert that is. Very low calorie.

Oh. Oh, you mean the kind that might actually burn calories? Yes, that kind. But first, I think a, uh, good transition to dessert would be a dance. Okay, if you recall, our first dance was here at the bistro. And, um, I do have two left feet, so Yes, I do remember that. I have a vague memory of that. But, you know, since you are perfect in every other way, I will definitely put up with those two left feet.

Mm hmm. Well, in that case, may I have this dance? Yes, you may. Oh, oh, oh.

Finally, Sarah. We have proof. Yes, because you were determined to find it, and I’m so proud of you. Sarah, I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you never died to my innocence. You, you believed me all along. God, I I love you too.

I’m sorry about that. The way Jada went after you. It’s okay. I get it. I understand why she’s angry. I mean, why would she be? Yeah, but to constantly go on the attack. Do you think Marlena could speak with her? Maybe she could Get her to empathize a little bit and understand where you’re coming from. I mean, the thing is, I don’t understand where I’m coming from or what’s going on with me, you know?

So, I think that the best thing for me and Jada is for me to stay away from her. I am. Hey, you. So, I’m thinking definitely your place tonight. How about we get out of here right now? Uh, yeah, hold on. Hold on, because, um, I’ve got some news. Can’t it wait? No. Can’t.

I just, I wish we could stay in this bubble forever. Who says we can’t? Well, we do have to make a living. Well, you thought about that, figured it out, detective me. Not so much. What are you talking about? You’re going to run this place. When are you going to reopen? Oh, I’m not. I am done with the bistro.

And now, I’d like to make a toast.

To sign language. Because of your brilliant, timely proficiency with it. Helped us get rescued. Okay, just sign language.

No, I’m sorry. I can’t do this. I can’t. It’s the smell of the beer. I just can’t. I can’t. I’m sorry. I’m the one who’s sorry. I Joey thought it was funny to send a spirit, but you know, it’s not, it’s not funny. It’s not funny at all. It obviously, it obviously triggered you very badly. I’ve been trying so hard.

To stop the images in my head. But I can’t. No, I just keep seeing us in that beer tank. I keep seeing Goldman. And then I, I remember that feeling. That feeling of not being, not being able to breathe. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t. Yes you can, you can. Win, you gotta home, you’re home, you’re not in danger anymore, okay.

I feel like hell, I feel like, I can’t just, I can’t just keep pretending like nothing’s wrong! I just can’t. Yes! So?

Our little angel is fast asleep. Yes. It’s so funny, isn’t it? Like, she’ll go from being wide awake and laughing and crying and just filled with baby energy, and then slowly her little eyes will start to close. When she’s laughing, which is pretty much my favorite thing that she does, she really looks and sounds like her mom.

See, and she reminds me of you in so many ways. Really? What ways? Your expressions. The way she knits her brow right before she’s about to cry, That knowing look that she gives me right before I’m gonna give her a bottle. It’s amazing, isn’t it? We made this life. This sweet, beautiful life. I’m so grateful we did.

She’s, she’s everything. And because she brought us back together. As she did. What’s that expression? Life is what happens when you’re making other plans. Well, I’m so grateful that life happened and I’m so grateful for you.

What? What do you, what do you mean you’re not going to reopen? Look, this place, it almost destroyed my life. It almost killed you and my son. No, I get, I get it. I understand. And of course I want whatever’s best for you, but you. What are you gonna do? I will figure it out. You know, I’ll find another job, a legit job, in case you were wondering.

I’m serious, Harris. I am never going back to that life. Never.

Trip. I’m so sorry, I’ve all, I’ve picked this all up and No, no, you won’t. Okay? Just Just talk to me.

It’s not right. I mean, here I am acting like I’m the only one who suffered through this whole thing, Tripp. You were there too. Wendy, you have nothing to be sorry for. Okay, not for knocking over the Jenga tower, not for anything. Okay, and I’m glad you let that out. I don’t want you bottling any of your feelings up with me.

What we went through? It’s terrifying. It’s traumatic.

If it sounded like I thought we could just move on, like it didn’t happen, that’s not what I meant. I know that’s not possible. I just thought that distraction might do us some good.

So I’m the one who’s sorry. Steph, um,

There’s something I need to tell you. You may not want to hear it, but it’s something I really need to say. Uh oh. What’s this news that I need to hear right now? I got a call recently from an old friend of mine. We were at the academy together, uh, later on. He went to law school, started a private practice just outside of Seattle.

And, um, anyway, I, uh, asked him to do some digging for me.

Well, I’m not exactly sure how to tell you this.

I don’t know what’s going on with me, but what I do know is I love you, and I believe that we can get through this. I believe there’s hope for us. I know that’s a lot to take in, given what’s, what’s been going on lately, but My feelings for you haven’t changed. I love you, Steph. You’re everything to me.

Rafe, you’re scaring me. What’s going on? Just say it. So, your divorce papers? They were never properly filed.

You’re still married to him. Legally, you are still Mrs. Robert Stein.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I am so glad that you showed up to my door last night. I’m so glad you let me in. Yeah, well, you know you’re pretty hard to resist.

Okay, it is almost four o’clock. I think we should actually get out of bed today. Get what? Get out of bed? We already walked all the way through the living room to pick up the food that was delivered. Hmm. Yeah, that’s true.

You have somewhere else you gotta be right now? Nope.

My son is safe. My business partner You got somewhere else you’d rather be right now? Oh, definitely not.

Hey, beautiful. Hey. You look tired. I’m beat. I thought business would slow down after Easter, but it is so crazy busy. Which is great, right? Yeah. Yeah. And you know that now that mama is healthy and in remission. Thank goodness. Yes. Yes. Um, I have to start focusing on the bakery again. And, um, I’m basically here on my own right now.

I let two of my staff take off and, um, You know, they were, they were just working so much overtime while I was in the hospital. So you’re a good boss. Well, I am also a boss who’s great. Is over what? Mm-Hmm. already. I feel like I just got here. Sorry, boo. But I gotta take some bread outta the oven, but I will be here for a little while longer.

Okay.

Hey, Julie. Oh! Oh, Stephanie. Oh, honey. I’m so glad you’re here. And thank you for being willing to help. Oh, I’m honored to be asked. Well, I decided that we needed fresh young eyes on the house project. I wanted to have new life, but I still wanted to say, welcome home. I’m, I’m in. I love interior design. I watch those home makeover shows all the time.

Decades ago, and I mean decades ago, I had a small antique shop. I did a whole lot of interior design. It was always so much fun. I thought of you, I thought perhaps you could use a pleasant diversion to take your mind off a certain journalist we both know.

Everett. Hello. Sorry, um, I hope I’m not late. No. You’re right on time. I’m so glad you’ve decided to try hypnosis. I’m hoping that, uh, we can get some clarity on your past. Actually, um, I think it was a mistake coming here today.

Hey, baby. Brought you some flowers for Easter. I know they’re a little bit late. I’m sorry.

So, um, I took the kids for a Easter egg hunt on Sunday over at the Kariakis Mansion. And, um, Maggie hid all these plastic little eggs around the grounds for the kids to find. And, uh, I put these little, little candies in them.

Of course, it turned into a competition. Thomas won. Yeah. Charlotte cried. She’d have been there. It was actually kind of hilarious. But Thomas ended up sharing with her in the end. So it all, it all worked out. Yeah, we had fun. Can you believe we’re living at the Kiriakis mansion? It’s just,

it’s crazy, right? Good news is the Horton house is being renovated. So we should be, we should be back, back home soon.

I miss you so much.

I’m sorry. Um, I’m sorry.

The man who took you from us, he escaped.

And it’s all my fault.

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

Funny, I was lying in bed last night trying to Not to think about that certain journalist we both know. And my mind pretty randomly wandered to, of all things, that time capsule that you found and couldn’t open. I still can’t open it. And I’ve been obsessing over where is the key and what could be inside the time capsule.

And I’m afraid that key is just gone with the wind. That’s gotta be one funky key. Oh, I prefer to think of it as unique. Like my grandfather. I’m sure he wanted everyone in the family to gather and figure it out and solve it like a puzzle. Maybe you could get some ideas online. Post a picture of the box.

Use the internet, what a good idea! Oh, yes! I could help you with that! Oh, sweetie. Not now. Thank you, but not now. I’ve decided I’m not going to obsess on the time capsule. I’m going to devote all of my focus to this, to the house project,

because I know that my grandparents would want this place to, to be ready for all the generations to come.

This is all on me. It is. I mean, if I, if I hadn’t have interviewed Clyde for the, You know, I put his picture in the paper. He never would have retaliated. I

pushed him. And I, and I, you know, I put the whole thing in motion. I mean,

you know, I,

I just wanted to make him pay. For what he did to you.

You know.

Instead, he tried to kill our babies.

Our babies.

Our family. He

sent a henchman to, uh, torture our home.

That was your great grandparents house. You know, he

He spent all of your happiest days as a child there.

I let you down, baby. And I let your family down.

And now, you know, Clyde Weston escaped.

Escaped.

I’m gonna make it right.

I promise you, Abby. I will make it right.

There are a lot of misperceptions about hypnotherapy. I don’t know if you’ve read much about it. I have. Pretty good deal. I know that, uh, I’ll have access to my free will, more or less, and that, uh, I’ll remember everything afterwards. Yeah, that’s accurate. And what we try to do is access parts of your memory that maybe haven’t been available to us.

But that’s what freaks me out, Dr. Evans. I mean, part of me definitely wants to know the truth, you know? But, uh, As I told you the other time that we discussed this, Another part of me is Afraid of what I might find out. I understand. You will be right here with me. You’ll be safe. And if at any point, You don’t feel able to go on, we will stop.

Okay,

let’s give it a shot.

What are you thinking? I don’t want to ruin the mood. What? Come on, tell me.

Clyde and Goldman are still free. And we don’t know where they are or if they’re coming back. Yeah. For you. For Tripp. And Clyde really wanted his freedom, so I wanna think that he’s not gonna jeopardize showing his face around here anytime soon. Alright, listen. Clyde has a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them.

It’s true.

I’m gonna join the manhunt as soon as I can. What? Okay. Yeah. Not today. No, not today.

You know, you’re healing. You’re healing really fast. It’s like you’ve almost got all your strength back. Yeah, almost. I’m actually pretty impressed by your stamina. Well, I aim to please ma’am.

But, you know, before we get into another round, I’m kind of hungry. Should we, should we order some more food? Order? Wait, wait. You, you, you forget, sir, that I am an excellent cook. Well, no, I have not forgotten. Okay. I just didn’t want to impose. Okay. Well, no, no, no. You know, cooking is one of my greatest pleasures.

So you know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna go in the kitchen. I’m gonna whip something up for you. Don’t move a muscle.

Okay, the front doors are locked. Good. No more customers. So you ready to go? Just about. I just have to wrap this bread. Oh, damn. What? I just got a big order for tomorrow, so, um, I’m gonna have to prep for it now. Or, maybe you could just say, sorry, no, it’s too late in the day to start a new order. No, if I do that, then tomorrow morning is just gonna be a nightmare, so I have to do it now.

But, I don’t want you to have to wait, so how about you head home, and then I will catch up with you later. Well, maybe I can help. You. You’re gonna help me bake. Well, I’m no baker, but I could follow directions, I’ll wash the dishes, tidy up. Yeah, thank you, but I can handle it. Come on, give me a shot. Look, you get some extra help, I get to spend a little extra time with my wife.

It’s a win win. Oh, okay. But do not distract me by looking at me with those big brown bedrooms. See, see, no, don’t do that. Okay, fine. Maybe I could, you know, if it helps, I could wear a flower sack over my head. Yeah, that actually might help. It’s fine. You know what? I can resist. I have willpower. Alright, come on.

Let’s get to work. Okay. That might be a little too contrasty. You hate it. Okay. Okay. What’s the bar? Oh, hey. This is me. Hang on a sec.

Oh, it’s from a potential new client, which is good. I could use the business, especially since I’m dropping the spectator. You are? Why? Well, I’m thinking about dropping it. I, I haven’t decided yet. Because of Everett? Yeah. Or Bobby. Whatever his real name is. Oh, honey. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I admit, it’s very upsetting.

And it’ll be even more upsetting if it turns out it’s true that Everett was dating me on the side while he was married to Jada. No, he wasn’t. Yes. And now she can’t stand the sight of me. Oh, it wasn’t your fault? She accused me of missing the signs. Clearly Everett was hiding something big and I chose not to see it, she says.

Now maybe she’s right. Julie, maybe Maybe I did ignore what was right there in front of me the whole time.

You’re doing just fine. With every breath, double your relaxation.

Let all the tension flow out of you.

I think you’re in a safe place now. Can you tell me where you are?

Yeah, um,

there’s a gazebo. Okay. And a stream, a brook.

Alright, are you, are you there alone? Is anybody with you? No, I’m, I’m not alone. My mother is there. Helen.

Tell me about your mother. She’s, uh, She’s wonderful.

Elegant. Strong. She, she likes to bake. She’s wearing, um, an apron. And her hands are, are, are full of flour.

Is she sitting beside you? She’s, she’s looking out at the water.

She’s smiling.

Is there anything you’d like to talk to her about? Anything you’d like to ask her? Everett?

Everett? She’s there. You can ask her right now.

Why’d you do it, Mom?

So, Mrs. DiMera, where do we start? Well, Mr. Dupree, I’m glad you asked. Okay, so, cooking is An art, so it allows for improvisation and imprecision. Kind of like making a movie. Right, right. But we are not cooking. We’re baking. Which is a science. So, it calls for a step by step process of precise amounts of ingredients, timings, and temperatures.

Oh, so you’re a scientist. I’m impressed. Why, thank you. Alright, alright. First, I would like you to preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Yes, chef. Oh, well, technically I’m not a chef. Okay, then what should I call you? I don’t know, how about wife? Or babe? I’ll go with wife.

Stephanie, you cannot blame yourself for Everett’s lies. You didn’t know what was going on. And you were devastated when you found out he’d been married to Jada. Yeah, I was. And the timing couldn’t have been worse. See, I was just starting to think that maybe Everett was the one. Again. And then everything blew up in my face.

Again. How do you feel now? I feel confused. Angry. Really angry. Actually, I’m furious. Just when I thought that I could trust him again, that we might have a happily ever after, boom, this happens. And then I feel guilty. For being mad, like, why am I being unsympathetic to what Everett’s going through? Forget Everett.

Forget Everett’s problems. Darling, this is the time when you certainly should be thinking about yourself and taking care of yourself. And you’re not alone. I mean, you got the family. Lean on us, please. I will. And when the truth comes out, and it will, And whatever it is, we’ll get you through it. Hello? Hey.

Ah, hello darling. Good to see you two here. But I didn’t expect to see you. I thought you were coming by tomorrow. Uh, yeah, no, I was, but um, uh, I was supposed to come by and check out the, uh, Thomas and Charlotte’s remodeled bedroom. Oh, right. Yeah. So it is now a good time. Wonderful. Yeah. Oh, perfect. Great.

Yeah, you go upstairs and look around and have an opinion, and then come down and share it with us, and you can help us look through all of these fabric swatches. Ooh, can’t wait.

What did you do it, mom? Why did you do it?

Everett, you’re safe.

You’re safe right now. Nobody’s going to hurt you. No. I’m not. I’m not safe. That

hits the spot right there. I’m glad. I haven’t been grocery shopping in a long time with everything going on, so, uh, It was either French toast, or egg salad sandwiches, or scrambled eggs with toast. Well, you know what? All of that sounds good compared to the hospital food that I was just eating. You know what sounds good to me right now?

Hmm? Mmm, fresh pasta. What? Yeah. Don’t tell me you’re craving my seafood linguine. Oooh. Well, that would be heaven. But, uh, Hey, you know what? We should, um, We should go over to the bistro since it’s closed now and operations were shut down. We could have a little private dinner, you and me. I mean, it’s clean, it’s fully stocked.

What do you say? That sounds like a, That sounds like a plan. Okay. Then I’m going to be the chef, and I’m going to pick out the menu. Okay. Deal. But I just want you to know that I’m a very tough food critic. Oh. Oh, I see. Okay. Well, um, let’s see. I can guarantee that it is going to be Savory. Succulent. And very satisfying.

You know, actually, um, Who needs a fancy meal When you are all of the above.

You know, sometimes I still forget that we’re married. That’s right. I mean, we didn’t have much time as newlyweds with everything that’s happened, and as magical as our night was in the Salem Inn, that does not tick off the honeymoon box in my book. Well, we could go back to Italy. I could come and do the demerit jets.

You know I can’t go to Italy right now. I know. I know. You gotta stay close to home for a while. Yeah. Yeah, but as soon as the time is right, we will definitely take that trip to Italy. But in the meantime, how about we take Sarah up on her offer for the Horton family cabin? I mean, it is secluded out there on Smith Island.

Relaxing, peaceful. Nobody else around? Just the two of us? Sounds perfect. How soon can we go? I don’t know. I was thinking drapes. But is elegance passe? Is it old fashioned? No, not at all. It can be really beautiful. The kids are gonna love the remodeled bedroom. I mean, there’s even more space than there was before.

Well, there’s no furniture in the room and no children and no toys. Oh, yeah, that’s right. No, none of that. Uh, why don’t I, uh, bring us a snack? I have tuna sandwiches and fruit in a cooler. I Sounds amazing. Okay, I’ll be right back.

So, the kids must be anxious to move back in here. Yeah, they can’t wait. I mean, the Kiriakis place has been great. And Maggie dotes on him, as you can imagine. Oh, I definitely can. So, any, um, updates on, uh, Everett or is he going by Bobby now? Actually, I met with him yesterday to talk to him about hiring a new PR firm for The Spectator.

What are you talking about? You’re terrific. You can’t leave us. Thank you, but I feel awkward staying on. I’m sure you understand. You want me to fire him, again? Don’t do that. At least not yet. Okay, well, tell me when.

Um, what do you think about the house? It’s great. Yeah, no, it’s amazing. And, uh, I mean, you know, I obviously feel responsible for everything. For the fire. And, uh, it just breaks my heart that Doug and Julie had to go through all this. But it didn’t have to happen. It wasn’t your fault, Chad. Oh, yeah, it was. My egg busted on.

I mean, I practically taunted him into doing all of this. The man’s a lunatic. It’s a monster. Everybody knows that. Okay. I still feel responsible, so what do you want me to do? You know, for the fire, for, for, uh, him escaping, you know? I know it doesn’t make any sense, but, uh, you know, I went to talk to Abby about it at her grave site, which You know, I, I, I guess saying that, you know, maybe it sounds crazy, but, uh, You know, I mean, he’s the one that took her from us, so I don’t know, maybe it isn’t, but, you know, Thanks to me, who knows what other harm he’s gonna cause.

God only knows what he’s gonna do next.

Everett, tell me what’s happening.

I know you can hear my voice. Tell me what you’re seeing.

Nothing. Just, uh, A darkness.

Okay, that’s good. That’s good. Can you find a light? Can you find your way into some light? Just I can’t. Okay,

okay, okay, that’s enough. We’re gonna end now. I’m gonna count to three and when I do, you’re gonna be wide awake. Relaxed. Refreshed. You’ll remember everything we’ve talked about. One. Two. Three. Open your eyes.

Okay. Good. You’re right here. You’re right here with me. And you’re safe.

Deborah,

would you tell me what you remembered?

I remember.

I’m sorry, um, I, I, I don’t know. All right. You said that you saw Some darkness. And something was disturbing after you saw your mother, is that right? Uh, I’m not sure. She’s kind of fuzzy. How do you feel now? A little shaky.

We made a very good start today. Clearly there’s something bothering you, something blocking you from going forward. We could deal with that in our next session. If you’d like to? Yeah. Definitely. Good. You let me know if you have any, any memories at all. I will. I, uh, I should probably get back to work. Um, just have to get going.

But, uh, thank you so much. And, uh, I’ll, I’ll set up another appointment.

I hope it helped ease your mind. Going to visit Abigail? Yeah, yeah, I did. It’s not your fault for what happened. You know that, right?

Everyone’s safe. The house is still standing. And before long it’s gonna be as good as new. Your family and your friends care about you so much. Lean on us. Okay. Thank you. And you too. I mean, I know, I know you’re going through a rough time as well, so. Here we go. Uh, Julie, I, I’m so sorry. I’ve got to run, actually.

I, I’m going to go meet that, um, new client that I mentioned. Okay, uh, sandwich for the road. And how about an apple? Love it. Thank you. Thank you. Um, keep me posted on design choices. Oh, of course. Of course I will, dear. Bye, John. See you, Steph. You

don’t look too happy. Talk to me.

It’s just, um, I’m just so sorry about the house. I mean, it’s all my fault. Julie, it’s all my fault.

Mmm.

Oh, so you don’t need a fancy meal, huh? Uh, maybe we need some nourishment. We have been burning calories. Yeah. I do so enjoy burning calories with you.

You know, I do have a feeling is that we’re going to be burning a lot more of them too. So, uh, you want to go to the bistro? Go there and just rejuvenate. Yeah, let’s do it. But I feel like I should shower first before our dinner date. I feel kind of sweaty. Yeah. Well, you know, calorie burning will do that to you.

And you know, I have been just as active as you are. So.

Ergo, I think that I need a shower too. You say, did you say ergo? I did. Mmm, I like your logic.

Wait, wait, wait, right here in the kitchen. Yeah, sure, why not? Because it’s a health violation. And you know that I’m already in the doghouse with the health department. Thanks. Okay, so we wait. We wait. Or, I have a few, uh, big, soft flower bags. Still on their pallets, in my storeroom. Uh, flower bags? Would that not also be a health code violation?

Not if we throw them out afterwards. I like the way you think.

Hey. Hey. Hi. You’re Cyd?

So, how are you? Um,

I had my first hypnosis session today. Oh, yeah? How’d that go? Uh, intense. I saw something when I was under something that scared the hell out of me.

Chad, you’ve got to let it go. I’ve made, uh, such a mess of everything, Julian, you know. Now Clyde’s free. Nobody blames you for the fire. Well, I did. For a nanosecond, but I was wrong, I was really wrong. Look at me. Chad. Say, I am not to blame for the fire. Say it. Chad! I’m not to blame for the fire. Good. And now, second, I am not responsible for the criminal actions of Clyde Weston.

Do you have to say that out loud to me, too? No. Good.

I went to see Abby today to apologize. Oh, honey. My mother struggles, Julie. You know, sometimes I, um, I think I’m doing my best to raise these kids without their mother, and then other days I feel like I’m

I’m failing. And today is one of those days. I just I miss her so much all the time. Baby, we all miss her. This isn’t something you can do alone. Don’t you know how the family loves you? Supports you and the children? Why do you think I want to build this house back up again? Because it’s, it’s something that we all have a constant in our lives.

It’s a symbol. It means, it means family. It means love. It means hope.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, so

how do I look gorgeous? Oh, you didn’t even look at me. So how do you know I saw you 30 seconds ago? You were perfect then. Besides, we’re not going to a red carpet event. Yeah, yeah, I know, but the paparazzi were at the hospital when I got released. They could be there today, too. Oh, you sure I look alright?

You look lovely, as always. Somehow, I don’t think this has anything to do with your appearance. No, you’re right. It’s not. Today, I find out, of course. If I’m cancer free, dare I hope for another miracle?

There you are. Off to work already? Yes, I have an early shift. What you got there? Oh, Justin just, uh, dropped this off. It’s, uh, All the evidence against me. Prosecution has to share up the defense. There’s a flash drive in here with loads of pictures on it too, apparently. I wish I didn’t have to go in. I’d help you.

Oh, it’s alright. I know you’ll be with me in spirit. Definitely. I’m so glad we’re in this together, Sarah. It means so much to me. You believing in me. No, it’s not just me. Harris doesn’t think you shot him either. Yeah, that’s a start. Now all we have to do is find actual proof that I am innocent. Can you please just stop talking about Holly?

My God, you’re acting like she’s some kind of villain. Tate, that girl nearly destroyed your entire future. And as you very well know, there is a restraining order against you, so she shouldn’t even be calling you in the first place. Which is why she had to pose as my mother to get me to come to the phone.

Really? You’re defending that? She wanted to see how I was doing, Mom. She’s my friend and she cares about me. So will you chill the hell out? Excuse me. First of all, do not speak to me that way. And secondly, no, I’m not going to chill the hell out until you tell me why you won’t stop speaking to that spoiled little brat.

Everybody go. I just went out to make a call. Didn’t you get the memo? Party’s over. Oh, that’s okay. I was on my way out anyway. I’m, uh, going to see Tate. Leave her alone. Leave her alone, what I’m just stating a fact. Which you at least stated to get my stepdaughter upset. Can we not do this, please? I’m out of here.

Brady, wait. Don’t go yet. Why?

Mom, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Honey, sorry for what? What? The drugs. The drugs that I OD’d on. They were mine. I’m so sorry, I should have told everyone from the beginning. Do you think? But why now, Holly? What, did you have some sort of epiphany? Okay, don’t come down on her. Don’t expect me not to come down on her, because I’m about to, okay?

Because it’s been my son, my son who took the rap for this the whole time, my son who went to jail, my son who’s been going through hell because you decided to lie about this for weeks! Honey, is this true? The jokes are yours. You seriously don’t believe this story, do you? AJ, please! You were right, I should have told everyone sooner.

You knew about this? Eric, he could just He knew that I was upset, that something was really bothering me, so I had to tell him. I just, I couldn’t keep it in any longer. Honey, if this is true, why, why did you go to Eric and not me?

Extend through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives. I

told Eric because I was scared. I knew he wouldn’t judge me, and I was afraid that if I told you the truth, that you would blame yourself. Well, since you’re finally being honest, Holly, I trust you’ll tell us the whole story. What whole story? Well, you say that the drugs weren’t tight, so Was he your dealer?

What is, what is your problem, man? Why do you hate my son so much? Take it down a notch. Stannis. Tate had nothing to do with how I got those drugs. He told me not to take them. He warned me not to take them. Oh, please. The delinquent who was kicked out of boarding school is suddenly a saint? Elvis, we can take this right outside if you want, man.

Oh, gladly. Will, you just listen. Please. Alright, if everyone could just calm down and let her speak. Mom. Remember the other night when you and EJ came into my room while I was recovering and you thought I was asleep? Well, I overheard what you said. About how you were afraid you had been a terrible mother.

How you thought you’d been selfish and you hadn’t paid enough attention to me. And, I knew you blamed yourself when you were pregnant. With the whole accident, with my baby brother. I thought it was your fault he died. And so So I thought if you found out you had a druggie for a daughter too, on top of it all, I didn’t think you’d be able to take it.

I thought it’d be too much for you. Honey. My precious girl. Mom. I’m so sorry. Do you actually call this evil or something? Mom, she’s not a bad person, I swear. Oh yeah? Tell that to your ankle monitor. This is my fault, not hers. You’re sneaking out of here. I’m going to see her. Going to see her? Tate, you broke into the DiMera mansion, the house of the district attorney who hates your father and is out to get you.

Stop yelling. Everyone in this place can hear you. Well, you know, I don’t give a damn, because you went in jail for something that you didn’t commit, and now you’re in a halfway house for some earthly reason, all because of this girl that you are defending, who knows perfectly well how she OD’d, but claims that she can’t remember, and so now everybody hates you.

You should finally believe me. Tate, we have always believed you. From the beginning, we told you that, over and over and over, and we have been praying that that selfish That selfish little girl would just wake up and, and clean up this whole mess, and instead what does she do? She regains consciousness and she throws you under the bus.

So, so this girl that you say is a good person, I’m not buying it. Holly Jonas is bad news. She is a selfish little, little liar whom I absolutely despise with every fiber of my being. Honey,

you know you could have come to me. I’m sorry. I thought I was protecting you. So you confided in Eric. Why? Because he was a priest? Because Holly and I are close. Hold on. Hold on. It doesn’t matter who confided in who. It doesn’t matter. What matters is the here and now. That’s my son. Who’s been in a halfway house going through hell because you’ve been lying for weeks, Holly!

Brady, I’m sorry. It was a horrible mistake. One that I will regret for the rest of my life. I just wish I told the truth from the beginning. So how do we know you’re telling the truth right now? Because, because I have proof. Proof? It’s in my room. Show me.

I have a pretty heavy rotation today, so I’m going to be home a little late. It’s just so much of this. I’ll probably be stuck in the same spot when you get home from work tonight. Well, you know. Be sure to check on the wee bear every once in a while. Oh, I will definitely be peeking in on the wee bear in every 10 minutes or so, so not to worry there.

And I’ll call during my breaks to check in on my sweethearts, all right? Now, get to sleuthing. I have a very good feeling about this. I’m not going to give up until I find something. I know you will.

Oh, I could never make it as a detective. Just searching for clues all day. Needles in a haystack.

Are you done with your nap already? Oh dear. Come here, darling. It’s okay. Shh, shh, shh, shh. Yes, it’s okay. Daddy’s here, don’t you worry. And he’s not gonna let anyone send him up the river for something he didn’t do. Don’t you worry. No. I’ll make you proud of me soon enough, Victoria. That I promise. Are

you ashamed of me, Mom? Honey, how can I be ashamed of you when I know you only withheld the truth to protect me? I just, I wish you had come to me about this. I’m really sorry. I just, I didn’t want you to fall apart. I love you for that. I do, but I’m fine. I’m a lot stronger than you think. So, um, show me this proof.

Isn’t that the jewelry box you got last year at the garage sale? That’s what I told you on the way.

I don’t know what to say.

Look, we need to go downstairs and show everyone this. Right now.

Here they are. These are mine. I promise you, Tate was shocked when he saw these at the New Year’s Eve party. I even offered him some, but he wouldn’t take them. He was upset that I was going to. He tried to stop me from taking them. Holly. And yet you let my son take the blame for your overdose this whole time.

Well, you know, maybe she didn’t remember right away. Maybe she only remembered recently. Is that it, Holly? Did the coma affect your memory?

So how was the scan? Being in that tube was a very weird experience, let me tell you. Oh, thank God I’m not claustrophobic. Oh, and having to lie perfectly still for another 30 minutes. Well, that was hard for you, I’m sure. Oh, oh. Paulina? Babe, I’m sorry I kept you waiting. Oh, no, no. No problem. Oh, so, what did the oncologist, uh, have to say?

Well, uh, he was called away, but he asked me to go through your test results. Okay, so Tell us the good news.

Please, will you quit yelling at me? Oh my god, do you not understand how upsetting this is, Tate? I mean, this has been hell on all of us. Me. Me, most of all. So I don’t need you getting mad at me on top of everything else.

You’re right. You’re right. I’m sorry. I, you’re right. I should, I shouldn’t be lashing out on you. Don’t worry.

Okay, look, um. I want to tell you something. And I’m really, really hoping that you’re going to take it to heart. Is this going to be another lecture on relationships? No, no, it’s not, it’s not a lecture per se. It’s just a few words of, of wisdom. So Relationships are complicated. Yeah? And um, I know I’ve had my fair share.

share of them, and I have learned a lot. I’m sure you have, Mom. But this isn’t like when you were younger. Everything’s different now. Okay, fine, yes. Maybe we didn’t use apps back in the day, or what do you, what do you call it? When you ghost each other, or we didn’t communicate on social media, but those feelings that you get when you’re involved with somebody, they’re exactly the same.

What? And you think I don’t know that? Just let me I’m not a little boy anymore. Let me finish, please.

You know that rush? That rush that you feel when you’re involved with somebody? That’s infatuation. A crush. But guess what?

It’s exciting, but it’s temporary. It’s not the basis of a strong and healthy relationship. Not something that can last decades, like your grandparents marriage. I’m not looking for something that can last decades. Oh, I know I’m not a little kid, but I’m not middle aged. I’m not looking to get married. I know.

I know that you’re not middle aged or looking to get married, Kate. But you are ready to start thinking about relationships. And you have to understand, the key to a successful relationship is is mutual respect. And you think I don’t know that? Well, I don’t know. I think you clearly forgot that one when it comes to Holly because she clearly does not respect you or she wouldn’t have let any of those things happen.

And she doesn’t give a damn that you were falsely accused of a terrible crime or she would have come forward and told the truth. Am I wrong?

I’m sure she has her reasons for not being able to tell the truth.

There it is. Making excuses for inexcusable behavior.

Okay, well, this is turning into somewhat of a lecture now, so I am gonna just stop there and I’m gonna just keep it really simple. And I just want you to ask yourself this. Tate, look at me. Ask yourself. Do I trust Holly enough for her to be honest? Will she always have my back? Where

was I? Witness number five. I was getting in my car in front of the bistro and I heard sirens, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I thought I saw someone running away from the back. I think it was a man, but I’m not sure. It could have been a large dog. Big help. Witness number five. Now, let’s see here. Witness number six.

There were a number of homeless people in the area, probably junkies. One man was passed out against a what? What’s that got to do with anything?

I envy you, little one. Why wouldn’t give for a nap right now? But sir, No rest for the wicked. Witness number seven. I heard two gunshots and saw a man crumble to the ground. I was across the river and could barely see only figures in the shadows. Bollocks.

You’re scams. Show that you are in complete remission. There is no sign of cancer. God. Oh, for this wonderful, wonderful news. I germed up the doctor. Oh, does this mean you have to scrub up again? No, no, no, no, no. Uh, it’s totally okay. Moments like this are the best part of my job. Paulina, I am I’m so happy for you.

Oh, I’m even happier for me. Oh my gosh. Oh, well, so what’s next? I mean, I know I have to, you know, have those radioactive iodine treatments again, right? Yes. So, um, once that’s scheduled, you will be on your way. Admitted to the hospital and then you’ll be isolated for a few days and after that, you’ll have to take a couple of precautions, all of which will be explained to you in detail, and you can always look up any instructions on the hospital portal.

Oh, so, but, yeah, okay, but, uh, what about, you know, after that, when I, when I go home, um, will I still be able to have all the Bear Claws from Sweet Biz to my heart desire. Oh yeah. I can have some too, can’t I? Oh yes. And once, once your treatment is completed, you can have as many Bear Claws or anything from Sweet Biz.

It can be a healthy part of your diet. Oh, fine. Fine. Well then, eh, babe and I, oh, we’ll be, we’ll be just fine. Oh yes, we will. We’ll be just fine. We will. Oh, God bless you. No, it wasn’t the coma. I mean, yeah, at first my memory was a little bit fuzzy, but after a day or so, I remembered everything. And then because what I heard you say about blaming yourself, I lied, and I didn’t know how to take back that lie.

I mean, I was too much of a coward to take it back. Well, Holly, I’m sorry, but I’m done with the talk, okay? I don’t know if they get it, but I get it. You decided to not hurt your mother’s feelings and ruin my kid’s life instead. All right, EJ, here’s what’s gonna happen. I want you to get my kid out of that halfway house, now.

And I want all the charges dropped on him, now. You understand? It can’t happen immediately, Brady. It’ll take time. Time is something you don’t have, because if it doesn’t happen immediately, I will file a civil suit. By the way, I want an apology, EJ. A very public apology for my son. I want it in newspapers, I want it in The Spectator, I want it in skywriting!

Damn it. It’s okay, your stepfather will take care of this, it’ll be fine. Mom! No, it won’t be fine! I made such a mess out of everything! Nothing will ever be fine again! Honey. Hey, Nicole. Let her go. Let her go. It’s okay. It’s okay. How

long have you known? Um, she told me today. After christening, I just I just felt that was her place to tell you, not mine. You’re one of the few people I know who still keeps the confidence. Yeah, well, my seminary training still kicks in now and then. You know, she wasn’t going to go to the christening. But then I told her, you know, if she doesn’t go, then we’re not going to go.

I’m glad you were all there. It meant a lot to me. Yeah. Me too.

Somehow comforting. You know, I felt a little, just a little bit closer to my little boy, up in heaven. Nicole, you’re a, you’re a good mother. Well, I don’t feel like one right now. But if Holly learns from her mistakes, then It’s taken care of. Um,

for being there for Holly. Always. Hey, Jane. Hey,

you. Hi.

That was a very brave thing you did in there.

I love you, you know?

I love you, too. You know, sometimes I just wish that you and mom would

You know,

your mom and I, we’re, we’re both happily married now. Which means you have even more people. In your life, who care about you?

I’m always here for you. I know.

Oh, thank you again, dear Sarah, for getting me through this. I know I could be a handful. Oh, well, you know, maybe two handfuls. No, you are not a handful at all, Paulina. You, in fact, are my favorite patient. And not just mine. All the nurses and doctors here love being around you. You make us feel appreciated.

Oh, laughter is important, right? Especially around here. It is, it is. And make sure that you check your records online and make a follow up appointment with your oncologist. Oh, we can do that. Okay, okay, well, um, we’ll see you, dear, and um, take care. And enjoy that precious little girl of yours. I absolutely will.

And you guys take care, both of you. Okay.

Hey. Hey. Is everything okay? I’m just super frustrated. It’s like, I’ve been searching for hours, and I’m just banging my head into a brick wall over and over again. It’s like an endless maze of dead ends. You will find something, and I’ll help you as soon as I’m home. Oh, that’d be great. Thank you. Okay, I have to go do my rounds, but, um, maybe take Victoria for a jog.

Clear your head. Well, that’s a fantastic idea. It’ll give us an excuse to test out that new stroller your mum gave us. Okay, well, let me know how it goes. Kiss my girl for me. I will. Love you. I love you too. Did you hear that, little one? Mommy sends kisses. Yes. And she thinks that we should get some fresh air.

So, we’re gonna go play with your new stroller. What do you think of that, pumpkin? I’ll just get changed into my jogging clothes and Wait a minute. Rafe said that one of the witnesses described my jogging clothes. I wear them every time I run. They’re pretty distinctive.

So it’s done? EJ made the calls? That was quick. What? Um, Justin, this is really, really good news. Um, uh, let us know if we can do anything else. Okay, thank you. What’s going on? Pack your bags. Buddy, you’re coming home. What? Are you serious? Thousand percent. I’m coming home now? Today? Oh my god, I can’t believe it.

What’s it? Well, you just. It just goes home, and we just wait for what happens next? No, what happens next is going to happen tonight. Justin’s going to have someone come to the house and take that ankle monitor off. What? I don’t have to wear this stupid thing anymore? No, you don’t, because all the charges have been dropped, including the restraining order, and Justin confirmed it with EJ.

This, I, I, I just, this, this is, this is fantastic. It’s so unexpected, but why, what happened? Holly, Holly admitted it. Holly admitted that Tate had nothing to do with the overdose, that the drugs were hers, and that he even tried to stop her from taking the drugs. Oh, thank God. Finally. Son, everyone now knows that you were telling the truth all along.

Oh, wait a minute. What do we have here?

Oh my god, something, something must have

Well, that’s what I get for wearing the same tracksuit all the time. Victoria, this is it. It’s a slam dunk. Yes, yes indeed. Daddy’s gonna be a free man. Your daddy is gonna be free.

Well, my two favorite words in the world are now cancer and free. Ooh, smashed together in one sentence, of course. Oh, yeah. You know, I had a feeling. I had a feeling, but until you hear it from the doctor, I I just couldn’t rest easy. Well, I’m going to rest easy tonight. Just want to spend a cozy night at home with my husband.

Blissful and carefree. Oh, Abel, I have never, never loved a humble or bold as much as I do at this moment. Yeah, I know, I know, I gotta have to spend several days at the hospital again for that iodine treatment. But for now I’m not going to worry. Well, it’s just standard procedure. You’ll get through it with flying colors.

Oh, well, flying colors is fine. Fine with me. As long as I don’t glow in the dark. Oh, you are always glowing, my darling. Only when you’re around. E. J., what a day. Yeah.

But I am grateful for Eric helping out and encouraging Holly to be truthful. Well, she obviously loves and trusts him, which gives him credibility to me. Yeah. Yeah, Eric and Holly, they have a very special connection. So you had the charges dropped? Done deal. Okay. Thank you. I’m sure you had a steamroll over bureaucracy, and I, I know that Holly will be relieved as well.

And I’m sure she will be, since it’s obviously been weighing heavily on her, her deception. And it’s obvious that she cares about Tate a great deal. But we’ve known that for a while.

And now I’m wondering, and I’m sure you are as well, Who did she get those drugs from? Did she go off on her own looking for them? I don’t know, EJ. I don’t know. But we’re going to have to question her. Where they came from and, and who gave them to her. And not just for the obvious reasons, but because they nearly killed her.

And that would have destroyed you, I know. Yes. But now the most important thing is to support her. Help her through this very difficult time. And we will do that together. As a family.

So Holly confessed. She did. She did to me, to Eric, to her mother, even to EJ. Our lovely DA, who is probably very humbled at the moment. Yeah. Wow, I can’t believe it. Holly really came through for me. Yeah. Finally. And I’m going to call my dad as soon as we wrap up, because your grandparents are going to be very upset.

Very happy that you are coming. Let’s go out and celebrate. Bistro! Oh, no? Bad idea. Brady Pub! Better. I should call Holly. Um, why don’t you wait until you’re settled in? You know what? Don’t go overboard with thanking her. Okay? Because I’m still very, very angry with what she’s put you through. I was angry too.

But I’m not anymore. I mean, come on. She told everyone she didn’t have to I told her she didn’t have to What what do you mean? The last time Holly and I talked I Told her she didn’t have to tell the truth about the drugs to anyone Hey You’re gonna continue to let her off the hook continue to take the fall for her Why do you keep protecting her like this?

You are aware. She almost ruined your life. Please stop It’s okay. It’s over now. Okay. Okay, you’re right. Yes, it’s over. It’s over. You’ve been vindicated. I’m so gleeful. So should I start packing now? Yeah, but you should start packing right now. Man, I cannot wait to get out of this place. Oh my god. Come here.

I don’t know.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Jude, you have become a new creation and have clothed yourself in Christ. See in this white garment, the outward sign of your Christian dignity, unstained into everlasting life of heaven. Amen. Sorry. So sorry. And sorry to you as well, oh lord. Oh lord. I have something to say. Something that is very important.

Something that cannot wait. Leo, what are you doing? What I should have done from the very beginning.

I should have told the truth from the beginning. And I never would have been in this mess. I lied for Holly so many times. And I helped her break up Johnny and Schnell. And then she ODs and I lie because I don’t want her to get in trouble. And then the only one who gets in trouble is me. Sir, are you sure you don’t want to schedule that private confession in the confessional?

No, this is something I need to say in front of everyone.

I get that telling the truth is hard, but Holly said she would. So why the hell did I tell her not to? I know why? Because I want her to think I was this totally selfless. God, it was so dumb and pathetic. Now I’m going to be stuck in this stupid room, writing in this stupid ass journal for a long time. And I have no one to blame but myself.

I’ve been to a lot of interrupted salient weddings, but a christening? Leo. Don’t make me regret inviting you. Why was he invited? Shall I summon the police and have Leo removed so he can crack on with the baptism? Honey, he hasn’t committed a crime. No, I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Oh. Shh, shh, shh.

What I neglected to say, well, the truth is, um,

I didn’t disclose that I am covering today’s blessed event for the society pages of the spectator. Therefore, if anybody has any objections to their photograph being taken. Speak now or forever hold your peace. Is that all? No. While I have the floor, I would also like to say, I know a lot of people here have suffered losses.

Speaking for myself, I lost the love of my life.

Not to death, but still, my heart aches for him and always will.

Nicole and EJ lost their baby, which was a terrible loss. And I know that it’s just the tip of the iceberg of losses that people gathered here today have suffered.

But precious baby Jude, who is being christened here today, Has his entire life in front of him.

And that brings us hope. And I am honored to be his very godfather. Some may cast a skeptical eye, but that is a role that I take very seriously. You see, this little boy means a lot to me because

Well, because he’s an amazing kid. Two godfathers for the price of one. Here’s one lucky kid.

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

Parents and godparents, this light is entrusted to you to be kept burning brightly. This child of yours has been enlightened by Christ. He is to walk always as a child of the light. May he keep the flame of faith alive in his heart. When the Lord comes, may he go out to meet him with all the saints in the heavenly kingdom.

You have been clothed in Christ, baptized in his name. Alleluia. Hallelujah. I need some air. John?

Doc, why don’t you go back inside? I’m okay. I just I didn’t feel comfortable hanging out in the house of the Lord, knowing what I’ve done. But isn’t this really the best place?

God’s mercy has no bounds. Do

you remember what I said this morning before we came to the christening?

I urged you to focus on the blessings of the day. Our family and a new child. Forget about your own pain for right now. Just for, just for the one day, you know, and I love you. If you can’t do that for yourself, then maybe you could do it for me, because it’s very hard for me to see you suffering.

Constantine was able to forgive you for the death of his daughter, if you even had anything to do with that. So can’t you at least forgive yourself?

My whole family’s at a baptism right now, and I hope they’re praying for a miracle for me. Because otherwise I’m gonna be trapped in this place for a really long time.

Um, okay, I’m taking off. I’m gonna go see Tate, okay? Okay, tell him I’ll be there, uh, by the time biz hours are over, okay? I will. Hey, hey. So, a little dramatic interlude? What the hell was all that about? Ah, language, Melinda. Have you forgotten that we are in a church? No, but I think you’ve forgotten not to be a blithering idiot.

My God, I think I saw my life flash before my eyes. Yeah, well, all’s well that ends well. Holly, honey. EJ and I are gonna head out. We need to get home before the guests start arriving. Okay, sounds good. Um, I’ll see you in a few. Alright, I’ll see you at home. Okay.

How was the star of the show? He was such a trooper, huh? Yes, he was. Shit. And now his little eyes are closing, so we’re gonna take him to the car. Great. You know what, I’ll be right there. Okay.

Hey.

Hey. What is it? Hi, Mom. Hi, my love. Wow, nice dress. You look very pretty. Thank you, honey bunny. Um, tell us the christening. Oh, Jude got through it with flying colors. Didn’t even cry once. Really? Mm hmm. And your dad was a very, very proud godfather. Yeah, he’s gonna be a great one. Make sure to tell him that, okay?

Cause he’s not so sure. Why isn’t he sure? Oh, is it because I’m a screw up? What? No, Tade. It’s because he thinks he is, and we both know he isn’t. He loves you so much with all of his heart. He’s a really good dad. Actually, I, I took this picture of him at the christening. Like, there he is. With his godson. Oh my god, he’s holding him like a little football.

Yeah, he used to hold you like that too, you know. Are you scrolling for pictures of Holly, Doug? No, I was actually looking for one of you and Alex. Didn’t he go with you? No. Actually, we broke up. Oh. I didn’t know. It’s because of me, isn’t it? You

doing okay?

You know, I knew it was going to be hard watching Eric and Sloane christen their son after just losing our little baby. But I, I am glad that I showed myself I could get through it. And you did. You were heroic, in fact.

Hey, Jay, I don’t, I don’t know about that. I, I just, my whole goal was to not fall apart and I think I managed that. Anyway, thank you, thank you. For letting me do this. Throwing the reception, I mean. I’m not letting you do anything, sweetheart. I’m so proud of you. How generous you are. So nice that you, that you’re willing to do this, that you want to do this.

I don’t know how you feel about Eric. But this is important to you, so it’s important to me.

You know, I couldn’t help but be distracted by Holly at the church. I mean, I know she was reluctant to go because she didn’t want to be around Theresa and Brady, but it’s important. I mean, she’s just not only seemed uncomfortable, but she seems so sad. It’s not like her at all. Hey, she’s been through a hell of a lot.

I’m sure it’s just gonna be a long time before she feels like her old self again. Yeah? It’s okay. Eric, if I

tell you something, will you promise not to tell anyone else? I promise. I might not be a priest anymore. But anything said in confidence here is sacred to me. I promise. Whatever you share with me will stay between us. Okay, then. God, I’m ashamed I’ve kept this a secret for so long and I don’t think you’re going to be too shocked when I tell you this, but you’re going to be really disappointed in me.

The night that I OD’d, I’m 100 percent sure the drugs I took weren’t teeth. Because they were mine.

Oh, you’re still here? Yeah, and I’d like a word. I sense a lecture coming. Leo, while I am very grateful you didn’t blow our baby swap secret sky high in the middle of Jude’s christening, How should I say this? Are you insane? Look, me in a church is like Mother Teresa in a casino. I was a fish out of water.

I was overwhelmed by the majesty of it all. And that priest, he got me feeling all repentant. Then I looked over at Nicole, and she looked so sad, and I started thinking about the night Jude was born, and I don’t know. I think I was compelled by the Holy Ghost. Whatever, the point is I was moved to do the right thing by Nicole and EJ.

Until EJ mentioned calling the authorities and you realized how much trouble you would be in. Well, yeah, until then. That’s part of why I decided to shift gears. Yeah, and before you did that strategic shifting, I highly doubt you considered how much trouble we’d be in. Although I imagine you thinking of your gravy train ending factored into you not blurting out the truth.

Well, I saw Sloane looking all Madonna esque. Oh, the Virgin, not the Queen of Pop. The Virgin. Oh, clearly it was an apparition. And then I glanced at Nicole and I thought about that pouty teen Holly and what a hot mess she’s turned out to be and I thought, it might be best for everyone if I keep my mouth shut.

Yeah. So I did. Will you both stop looking at me like I’m Vlad the Impaler? I am looking at you like you’re Leo the loose lipped nutjob who almost ruined my life! And mine! And yours! Well, almost doesn’t count, now does it? Look, I promise I will never be tempted again to tattle on the three of us. Can you both stop being negative Nancys and let’s go party?

The champagne sitch at the DiMera mansion, it is on point. I would not.

Hello everybody. Hey. Hi. See you again.

Marlena. Oh. John. Hey buddy. How’s it going? Eh, it’s going well. Where’s your wife? Well, she was hoping to get here on time, but they were short staffed at the hospital. She couldn’t leave. Oh, what a shame. Hey. Hey there. Hi there. Hi. And where’s, uh, where’s Kate? Well, she’s here. She’s helping, uh, put up the buffet tables.

That, uh, Christine was very moving, wasn’t it? It was perfect.

Joan, um What are you up to? Catch that incredible Royals Rangers game Sunday? No, I missed it. Excuse me. What did I say? It’s not you, man. Is he okay? Marlena. No, he’s not.

Damn you all.

Talking to yourself? Never a good sign. I’m here because I love Eric and his little boy, but I can’t get out of this house soon enough. You’re free to leave anytime. E. J. It was so kind of you and Nicole to host the reception. Oh, this was all Nicole’s idea. I assume it’s my fault that Sammy isn’t here today?

No. Could be further from the truth. Sammy actually had a friend who’s recently lost her husband, so she felt she had to be with her. Oh, I see. And Belle? Belle is with Sean. Oh. Well, I wish them all the very best. No, you don’t. Demures don’t wish the very best to anybody but themselves. Just screw everybody else.

John. My grandson is locked up because of that stuff your brother is spreading out there on the street. Running a drug front for Clyde West and doesn’t get any more evil than that. And I

And you’ll what? John.

Stay away from my family, Junior. You’re real. Or I’ll You need to learn to finish your sentences, John. I think you know how he was going to finish that sentence.

No, Tate. Alex and I didn’t break up because of you. Why would you think that? Guys, you’ve had to take so much time dealing with my problems, worrying about me. You are my priority. You always will be. I’m done. Alex and I, we, we took a break because of a lot of reasons. Took a break? Does that mean that you’re going to get back together?

Why do you care? I don’t know. I guess because I don’t like seeing you alone, Mom.

Well, that’s really sweet. Um, I don’t know. Well, maybe Alex and I might get back together again. Hmm. Time will tell.

Finally made it. Oh, hi. Hi. I’m, I’m glad you did. And I think you’ll be happy to know that Kristen agreed to steer clear from today’s festivities. Oh, well, it’s always a pleasure not to see Kristen. It’s open to see Rachel, though. Brady, I’m sorry. I, I can’t. It’s Imagine being separated from my own child.

Yeah, it’s, it’s, it’s pretty bad. But it’s also pretty selfless of you to do this for Eric and Sloane, given that you just recently lost a child. I mean, everything you’ve been through, really? Brady, it’s not selfless, it’s selfish. You know, I guess I’m just trying to prove to everyone, including myself, that I can be truly happy for them.

And are you? Mostly. More or less. You know, I really thought everyone would be here by now, and, and, and, we’re in the world with Holly. You must be so disappointed in me. I’m not here to judge you. I promise I won’t tell anyone. But I insist that you tell your parents. No, I can’t. Tate even said I shouldn’t.

Do you really think Tate wants to stay in a halfway house because of what you think your parents are going to think of you? Eric, it’s not about me. It’s about my mom. She’s going to have such a hard time when she finds out I’m not her perfect little girl. She’s going to blame herself for everything. For the baby dying, my ODing, and After all she’s been through, this would kill her, Eric.

Holly, your mom is a lot stronger than you think. I don’t know. Well, I do. She is tough, and she is resilient. Trust me, I know.

You’re in agony, all because of this.

Tate is suffering because of your behavior. Yeah, I know.

Holly, you need to do this. Not just for Tate, but for yourself.

Eric, are you coming? Can’t have the guest of honor being late. You’re right. I’ll be right there.

Holly, I want you to think about what I said.

When’s this party getting started? Uh And where are the guests of honor? No idea. Ah, I have arrived. Well, this should liven things up. Bill. Huh? What was that all about, to start you, Paul? Back at the chapel? What do you mean, stunned? All I did was give a heartfelt speech about love and loss and the preciousness of life.

For which I got a round of applause, left many people feeling verklempt in case you didn’t notice. Yeah, well your speech didn’t exactly start out heartfelt. Alright, and why would you interrupt the christening? Just to tell people that you were here to cover the event. Prospector, why? Why would you cross examine a guest at said christening whose only intention was to lift people’s spirits?

Whose only agenda today is to celebrate your adorable grandson with whom I have a very special relationship. And why would I actually somewhat believe this guy for once?

All right. How are you doing? Well, I’m, I’m okay. But I’m, I’m not sure about Holly. I mean, at first she wasn’t going to come to the service at all. And then she changed her mind and said she was going to drive herself. And then when I told her EJ and I were leaving, she said she’d be along in a few minutes.

And now I, I don’t know where There she is. Oh, honey, honey, honey. Stop. Oh, my God. No, no, honey. I’m fine.

Hey, buddy. I saw you staring at the old man’s portrait. You know, back in the day, when I worked for Victor, I did that willingly. But I had no choice when Dr. Rolf implanted that chip in my brain. And for all intents and purposes, turned me into Stefano.

I could have killed you, John. I came real close. But you didn’t. You didn’t kill me because there was something inside of you that stopped you. No. It was sheer luck. You saved yourself.

Well, I just wish I could have done something to save that young woman.

Holly, what are you doing out here? Uh, you know, I just, um, needed some fresh air. It’s really stuffy in there. Yeah, it’s a little chilly outside. You’re not even wearing a coat. Why don’t you come inside?

You know, I was, I was actually hoping that Johnny and Chanel would be here. I, I’d ordered them a wedding gift and it finally arrived and I thought I would give it to them. I actually have it in my trunk. Oh, that’s very thoughtful of you, Marlena. As you may know, Johnny and Chanel have hardly left Paulina’s side, but they did manage to carve out some time and get to the Salem Inn to celebrate their wedding night.

Albeit a few weeks late. Okay. Thanks for letting me know. You’re welcome. I love it. Stefanoff’s. Gotta be turning in his grave. A house full of braids, celebrating a happy family occasion. Steve, would you tell me what’s going on with that guy? Sorry, dude. Not my story to tell. Sorry everyone. We had a diaper emergency, but, uh, you see all these people there for you, bud.

What do you think? Oh. Damn, where’s that plastic bag? You mind if I try? Yeah, we can play pass the pussy, baby. Yeah. There you go. Alright.

Wow, so many friendly faces, not one of them’s a fellow JD. Hey, you are not a juvenile delinquent, Tate. Oh, Uncle Eric looks so happy in this one. But, Nicole doesn’t, she looks really worried, doesn’t she? Yeah, actually, in that picture, she does. It’s weird, right? I mean, I think that she’d be happy now that Holly’s out of her coma and doing really well.

Still, I think it was really rough for her to go today, you know, considering she lost a baby a few months ago.

Someone’s had a big day. Yes. It was a great day. Oh yeah. Here you go, mama. Almost perfect.

Uh, if I could have everyone’s attention, please, just for a second. I would love to make a toast. To my beautiful, beautiful godson. And to my brother. And my sister in law. My brother Eric. He’s been waiting a long time to be a dad. And I have no doubt that he’s gonna be a hell of a good one. I learned from the best.

And Sloane, You’ll undoubtedly be a wonderful mother. So with that, Cheers, and God bless! Cheers!

Where the hell is Holly?

Serenity House, Salem. This is Olivia. How may I help you? Hello. May I please speak with Tate Black? This is his mother. Tate? You have a call? Hello? It’s your mother? What?

I’m his mother. I will take that call. Thank you. Who is this? Hello?

So what do you think, Doc? Can we get out of here yet? Oh. I’m sure Eric will understand. All right.

Hey, great party. Especially the food. Yeah, I agree. Are you leaving already? And by the way, where’s Kate? Uh, she’s helping pack up the leftovers. We’re gonna donate them to a food bank. Well, that’s very nice of you. Eric, darling, it’s been a wonderful party, but we have to go. Okay. It was a beautiful christening.

Thank you. Thank you all for being here. Hey, we love that little guy. And we love this big guy too. We’ll see you, Eric. Love you. Love you. Congratulations, man.

Well, this boy’s looking ready for a nap. I think the party’s over. Yeah, okay, um

Something wrong? Can I get a minute? I just need to talk to her before we leave. Again? Well, it’s important. Well, Jude’s about to start screaming his head off, so Well, I just can’t leave yet. Well, I can’t leave yet. As awesome as this party has been, despite the boring and snooty guests, so how about I give you and the baby a ride home, swan dear?

Sure. And we’ll drop Melinda off too. Oh, great. I’ll be happy to drop Melinda on her head at her house. Hey, Leo, would you, uh, mind grabbing the seat out of the car? Sure. Shall we?

Nicole

is trying to be nice but it would have been a hell of a lot easier if we could have just had the party here. Yeah, we wouldn’t have had to slap all this stuff over to that old mausoleum.

Oh good, you’re open. Don’t tell me you’re still hungry. Actually, I’m looking for a scotch. A little early, don’t you think? Don’t dare judge me, man. I have no special occasion. How about that? Does this have something to do with what’s going on with John? Could say that.

Well, you know, when I was a priest. I used to tell all my parishioners that no one was ever unworthy of God’s love and forgiveness.

But then again, I really wasn’t a priest.

Because everything that I believed about myself was a lie. As is everything that I knew. I believe about myself now. I know, I know, I know. I shouldn’t allow myself to suffer so much over this because Constantine is the one who truly suffered. But, but do you think you can come up with a way to help me get through this?

What is that? Asking too much? It’s not asking too much,

and of course he will help you with it. I will too, because we are in this together. He’s sound asleep.

Well, you did have a very big day. All that love and attention, which some people never get in an entire lifetime. All in one day. Oh, is that your excuse for being an obnoxious, unscrupulous creep? Actually, it is. What’s yours? You know what? Since you both seem to be in this let’s insult Leo mode, despite the fact that he already has very low self esteem, I will be on my way.

Leo, before you go, I need to say that what happened today can never, ever Don’t worry, I will never try and do the right thing again. We have made this pact official, Leo. No one will ever speak about how this is Nicole’s baby ever again. Hand to God. And look, if I couldn’t tell the truth in a church, what would possess me from trying to tell the truth somewhere else?

Oh wait, I know. If the money stops rolling in. How did I know you’d say that? The same way I know that the money will keep rolling in, otherwise our three lives go down the proverbial toilet. We are an unholy trinity, girls. The only three people in this town who know that that child sprang, or rather was pulled very lovingly and gently by me, From Nicole DiMera, and we are the only three who will ever know.

I’ve instructed the staff you are not to receive any more calls here. Great.

Who was that? I don’t know, Mom. You’re the one who talked to her. It was Holly, wasn’t it? Maybe. Has she done that before? Called you here? Once. Did you talk to her? I thought she was you. Oh my god, you should have hung up then. Right when you realized that it wasn’t me. I mean, do I have to remind you that there’s a restraining order here?

We just talked about this this morning. Do you want to go to jail? Tay, do you, do you want to ruin your whole future? What is wrong with that girl? Hasn’t she done enough to ruin your life? Mom. She better leave you the hell alone from now on.

Where’d everyone go? I just stepped out to take a work call. Didn’t you get them, my mom? Party’s over. It’s okay. I was, uh, on my way out anyway. I’m going to see Tate. Leave her alone. What do you mean, leave her alone? I was just stating a fact, EJ. Which you only stated to upset my stepdaughter. Okay, can we please not do this now?

Fine. Yeah. I’m outta here. Bye. Brady, wait. Don’t go yet. Why? I’m sorry, Mom. I’m so, so sorry. Sorry, honey, for what? The drugs.

The night that I OD’d. The drugs were mine.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, you clean up nice. Oh, sorry. A lot on my mind. You look lovely as per usual. And you seem awfully distracted right now. Um, I assume it’s about Stefan turning himself in? It is. It’s a lot to process. But you know what? Not today. I’m going to compartmentalize, as they say. And we should get going, actually.

I’ll get Holly. Oh, hey! Why aren’t you dressed? We’re gonna hit the road in like five minutes. I’m not going. Well, well! If it isn’t the godmother herself. And how are you this glorious morning? Doing well, Leo. And you? I’m fine. Exceptional to a fault, as always. Exceptionally overdressed for working at the paper, no?

Uh, Lady Whistleblower is always fashion forward, no matter the venue. Today, however, Lady W is playing hooky. Oh, well, if you excuse me. So, where is it? Where’s what? The christening gift for your godchild. Bad form for the godmother to forget something so important. But maybe, just maybe, yours truly may have the fix.

Did you pack more bottles? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I also packed some extra onesies, because who knows, I don’t think it’s gonna be able to stay in that christening gown. Not long, I’m guessing. Yeah? Oh, I cannot believe you used to wear this. Well, you know, it’s family tradition, and uh, as you know, you just keep it going.

Yeah. I just can’t stop smiling. Uh, yeah. I can see that. I knew this was going to be the happiest day of our lives. And now that it’s here, it’s just kind of like, Wow. Hey, what are you thinking? Oh, God, it’s just, Having the party at the DiMera’s with Nicole hosting. I, I, I’m trying to stay positive, Eric, I really am.

But I, I don’t know how to feel about it. I’m still so, so uncomfortable. Sloane, we talked about this. I know, I know, I know we have. And I know, especially on a day like today, I should be more forgiving. But every time I look at Nicole, all I think about Is, is, you know, when she thought June was her baby and, and, and kidnapped him.

I mean, do you know how hard it is for me to not think about that?

You know, Godfather, it’s got a nice ring to it, huh? Have you given it a spin? The Godfather. A man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man. That’s not bad. Thank you. Yeah. Maybe I should bring some cannolis. That’s funny. I know. Are you gonna eat that breakfast? Cause I will. Hey, hey, hey.

I got a fork here. I’m not afraid to use a fork, okay? I know. Alright. Actually, you know what? I have to call Tate. Um, Okay.

Hi, can I speak to Tate Black, please? Yes, this is his mother, Teresa Donovan.

Hi baby, how are you? Good. Um, listen, so the plan is I am gonna come and visit you after Jude’s christening and then your dad, he’s, he’s gonna come see you after the party.

Yes, of course we’re gonna see Holly at the chapel. Oh, I hate seeing Tate like that. I mean, he seems so upbeat, and then when Holly’s name got brought up, he I know, and he’s upset about the restraining order. I mean, he’s gotta stay a hundred feet away from her, which I think is extreme, but it’s no surprise EJ’s driving this train now.

I don’t know. You know, if they were to stay a million miles apart from each other, I really wouldn’t mind. God, Brady, why can’t that girl just come clean and tell everybody that Tate did not give her the drugs? Tracy, you know why? Because she’s, she says she doesn’t remember what happened that night on New Year’s Eve.

Well, let’s just hope that Sloane Peterson comes up with something to force EJ to drop the charges. God, I don’t, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think our boy is going to be in that halfway house until, you know, Till the trial. But you know what? You shouldn’t be worrying about her. You should be focusing on your schoolwork instead of thinking about the girl who got you into this mess.

Hey,

do you need some help with that? Please. Hey. At that time when we were on vacation. Yes, we did. We got that tie from an old man on the Via Della Spiga, who couldn’t stop telling me how beautiful you are. I couldn’t stop agreeing with him. Oh, I remember that. You know, we should plan a vacation. In fact, something has occurred to me.

I’ll give you a hint. Aloha. Hmm? I see what you’re doing, Don. But running away from what you’ve done isn’t going to change anything. Okay, fine. Then what is? Because you are agonizing over something that you What is something? That something was the murder of an innocent young woman. I took her life. And that is something I gotta live with for the rest of mine.

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

John, John, by your own admission, you have no memory of that time.

And, and there’s no clear cut evidence that you had anything to do with that girl’s death. Steve was there. At the scene of the crime. And he does remember seeing anyone else there but me. Stefano and Victor were also involved. So who knows what the truth is? And I’m not even, I’m not even sure that I trust Steve’s memory.

John, you were You’re, you’re punishing yourself. You’re beating yourself up. You’re questioning who you are. That isn’t okay. Look, you, you doing this is, is, is so painful and it’s even hurting me. I’m sorry, baby, because the last thing I want to do is ever hurt you. I know that. But it does hurt me because I know you.

I love you. I know who you are. You are a good and decent man. Look at me. You need to forgive yourself. I don’t know if I can do that.

Well. How’d it go? Tate is obviously still hung up on Holly in spite of it all. I think he heard me, or at least he pretended to hear me. Oh, don’t you two look spiffy. Well, as do you both. Are you ready for the big event? Ah, the christening, definitely. The reception at the Damaris. Not so much. Okay, but we have decided that we are going to keep an open mind.

We’re gonna try. We’re all gonna try. Who knows, maybe, maybe this is the dawn of a new era of peace and harmony. All thanks to that beautiful grandson of yours. Bless his heart. And what do they say? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Tell me you are not being serious. Oh, when it comes to giving gifts, I am never not serious. Probably in defiance of the bad gift givers in my life, like my very stingy mother, who on my last birthday gave me a partially used soap on a rope. The birthday before that, a mood ring toilet seat. I mean about the christening.

You are not actually going. Why wouldn’t I? I’m an invited guest. And to state the ombudist, there would be no event to go to had you and I not made sure that that precious little boy, soon to be christened, didn’t end up in the loving arms of Eric and Sloan, and not in the arms of his real mother, Nicole Walker Demura, who’s hosting the party, and ain’t that ironic?

All caps. Fine. I get it. You and I are connected in that way, but that doesn’t mean that we can Partners in baby stealing. Yeah. Not very proud of that. In fact, if I had to do it over again Well, you don’t have it to do over again. So let’s not talk about it right now, okay? Or ever, for that matter. Today is about the future.

A future that requires you keeping your mouth shut. That is, if you want to continue living the lifestyle you’ve grown so accustomed to. The outside of prison lifestyle. Got it?

Look at you, all dressed up in daddy’s fancy christening gown.

Oh, I’m glad it fits him. Perfectly. You all packed up? Yeah, I, I think I checked the bag like six hundred times. You ready to go? I am. Eric, I am so sorry about being such a downer about Nicole hosting the christening party. It’s okay. You were just being honest. I was, but I’m gonna take the high road, okay? I mean, it’s very kind of Nicole and EJ to host the reception, and I’m sure it’ll be a beautiful celebration for our amazing baby boy.

I’m sure it will be.

Holly, honey, of course you’re going to the christening. We’re all going to the christening as a family. Holly, what’s really going on? Nothing. Just, I don’t have the energy and the thought of being around so many people just makes my head want to explode, so. This is about self care, okay? Wait, are you, are you warm?

No, I don’t have a fever. Should I call Sarah just in case? Mom, stop, that’s enough, okay? Look, I know you’re worried about me, but I’m fine, seriously. So, you guys go to the christening without me. I don’t want to hold you up just because I couldn’t pull it together. Well, if you’re not going, I’m not going.

Bloody hell, if you’re not going, neither am I. Oh, we could all stay home.

Hmm. Tacky, tacky, Melinda, bringing up my little arrangement with Sloan, which for the record is no more odious than your arrangement with her. Well, odious arrangements aside, I comfort myself in knowing that Jude is with amazing parents. They’re gonna raise him to be the best version of himself. I’m not so sure about that.

Yes, Eric has fatherhood down to his science, but mommy Sloane, there is not a maternal bone in that woman’s body. I disagree. I think that Sloan is taking to motherhood quite nicely. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I would like to check in on my godchild. Yeah, go for it. Come on.

Guess I’ll go check in on the big man.

Look, I just wanted to tell you that I think Eric made a very wise choice when he asked you to be, to be Jude’s godfather. Alright? I know you’ll take the role to heart, and I know you’ll give that little guy all the support he needs. I was honored to be asked. Well, I was glad you accepted. Eric did mention that you were, uh, reluctant.

Thank you. At first, I was, I haven’t been very confident in my parenting skills these days. Yeah, he mentioned that too. So Brady, listen to me. All right, as hard as it is and believe me, I’ve been there. All right. You can’t blame yourself for things that are not within your control. And all we can do is love our kids unconditionally and be there for them.

Yeah. Lots

of catch up on, don’t we? Yeah. Yeah, we do. Do you know what it was like for me to watch the Super Bowl alone this year? Picked you, dad, in a room full of chicken wings and pizza and a giant 4K television and no one to It was awful. Yeah, well, I had no one’s ass to kick in fantasy basketball this year, so Okay, stop it.

And um, Mom, thank you for opening up to me. Really, for having the courage to tell me the truth about you and dad. I’m so glad I did. Just seeing you both laughing together, it just, you have no idea how happy it makes me. That’s all we can do? Yeah. And speaking of being here, I spoke to Kim the other day.

She is very grateful for what you’ve done for Teresa. Well, I was just glad that I was able to be there. Especially since I’ve been there, Roman, so Theresa and I aren’t together anymore, but she’s always going to be family. Isn’t that right, dear? That’s why you’re also a great dad, too. Alright. And that’s why you’re going to be a world class godfather.

Serious. I’m very proud. The man you’ve become, Brady. I am very, very proud of that. This is crazy.

You guys can’t miss the christening. Well, I’m not going to leave you home alone. Nor am I. And it’s not like anyone’s going to miss us. Mom, that’s ridiculous. Eric would be so crushed if you two weren’t there. The same would be said about you. Honey, Is this because Teresa and Brady are going to be there and it’ll be uncomfortable because of the situation with Tate?

It’s all of it. Okay? It’s a whole vibe. Alright, well, I promise you, Teresa and Brady will be on their best behavior. And like EJ said, you will be missed. If you’re not there, Eric loves you. And he would be sad if EJ and I weren’t there. So we are not letting you stay home alone. Like I said. Okay, fine. I get that today is important.

And you and EJ 100 percent need to be there celebrating, too. Which means I have to go. Since you won’t leave me home alone. So let me get ready. I changed my mind. Yay, Holly, I’m so relieved. And you know what, I bet it’s gonna be a beautiful christening. And it might even cheer you up, brighten your day.

Yeah. Seriously doubt that. Bye. Uh, but you guys should go without me. I don’t want to make you late. I’ll meet you there. Okay, well make sure you’re not too late, okay? Okay, I’ll try.

Teenagers, huh? Oh, they sure earn their reputation. Yeah, yeah, we understand. Yeah, we will. Love

you too. Bye.

And Kayla. She won’t be able to make it. Unfortunately, the hospital is understaffed. Oh, no, that’s too bad.

Godmother has arrived. Melinda, please come in. Hope I’m not too early. No. Uh, before the day gets too crazy, I just wanted to make sure I gave this to you. Just a little something for Jude’s savings account. Melinda, you didn’t have to do that. Well, I know I didn’t have to. I wanted to. I know. And there he is.

Hello there, beautiful. What a sweet little angel you are. Hey, Melinda. Hmm? Um, there’s something I need to talk to you about. Oh. Yeah. It’s godmother stuff. Oh, okay. Um, at the start of service, godmother, you will have to carry Jew to the front of the chapel. Will that be okay with you? I would absolutely be honored.

Hello. Are you here for a confession? How much time do you have? No, nothing to confess. Though this seems like a wonderful place to do it if I was in the market. Well, you’re always welcome. That’s good to know. I’m actually here for a christening for Jude Brady. Ah, yes. Yes. I’ve known that little tyke, your blessing, his whole life.

Isn’t that wonderful? And everyone who’s here will in some way bear responsibility to the child throughout his life. Really? Everyone here? It takes a village, as they say, to not only encourage spiritual growth in our children, but to be examples of good, kind, honest people. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to finish setting up.

Well, I’m good and kind. Sort of. Sometimes. A little. Honest, not so much.

For one day, can you just put aside your guilt and try to focus on the joy of this new life that we’re celebrating? All right? Can you just do it for me?

I will do that for you.

Thank you.

Why are you trying to punish yourself for something you might not even have done? Because I’ve always been afraid that I was capable of a heinous act like this. In fact, I think a part of me always knew I had. I can’t do it anymore, Doc. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t wake up in the morning, I can’t eat my oatmeal and kiss my wife goodbye and go off to the office knowing who I am and what I’ve done.

John, I don’t think you’re thinking rationally right now. No. Okay. Put yourself in my shoes. Come on, Doc. How do you move forward without dealing with the past and taking responsibility for it? I know how you’re feeling. I did. Unconscionable things at a time when I wasn’t It wasn’t you! And this wasn’t you!

It’s not the same! Well, should we head to the chapel? I think it’s about that time. Uh, give me a second. Adlai, what’s up? What? Are you okay? Are you sure? Did you get checked out? Okay, now don’t worry about that. We got that covered. Okay, don’t worry. Go home. Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything All right Take care One of my employees he was taking the food over to the mirrors and There was car wreck fortunately, nobody got hurt but Car is, uh, undrivable.

That’s not a problem. I can take the food. I can have the dimericum. Not your problem, Katie. That’s nonsense. You’re the godfather. You’re the grandfather. You can’t be late. I’ve got this. Go. Both of you. Now. I’ve got it. Hi. It’s pretty straightforward. The priest is gonna ask you a few questions. Simple stuff.

And you know what? You’re gonna crush it. Sounds great. Um, are we ready to roll? Uh, I gotta call Sammy back. She left me a message from earlier. Great. Tell her hi from me. Tell her I wish she could be here with us. I will. Okay.

Oh my god, how am I gonna get through this? You will get through it because you have to. And because you have everything you’ve ever wanted, remember? And by the way, what’s with Leo? Was he officially invited? Couldn’t be avoided. Same thing with allowing Nicole to host the after party. But Sloane, this is your baby and your event.

Look, I understand that, that Nicole has no idea when it comes to Jude, but her and Leo in the same space for any length of time is just so risky. I know. I know. It’s a good thing I ran into him today. Leo? Yeah, I reminded him that he should keep his mouth shut if he knows what’s good for him. Well, damn well better.

Something about this place always seems to calm me down. Yeah, me too.

Is that?

That’s Leo Stark. I hope he’s not here to write some gossip. Most likely. Hello. Stunning Dr. Evans. Handsome John Black. How are you both doing today? Well, we’re just fine. And yourself? Oh, I’m feeling reflective. Spiritual. Peaceful. And also a bit God fearing, which is interfering with the other feelings. I could understand how that would happen.

But I must say, I am blown away by Eric and Sloane and their generosity inviting me to this blessed event. I’ve never been much of a churchgoer, except for when I was young and my mother forced me to go by threatening to remove my kneecaps with an ice cream scoop. Leo. But, I am certain that today is going to be enlightening, uplifting for all of us.

That Leo Stark is quite a character, isn’t he? One way to think of him. Yeah. You’re concerned about having a reporter here, though. You know, he babysat for Jude at one point. And Sloane and Eric both said he was just great. Oh! Hey! Oh, hey! And Godfather. Theresa. Hey, hey. Hi there. There he is. Are you ready for this?

Yeah, big day. And where’s Kate? Well, we had a delivery snafu at the pub, and uh, Kate kindly offered to take care of that. In fact, I gotta give her a call check in with her, so if you’ll excuse me. Right, yes, yes. Doc and I, we have made plans to go see Tate. Oh, you will appreciate that. How are the two of you holding up?

How are we holding up? We’re doing okay. We’re hitting a lot of meetings and we’re putting sobriety first. Well, we’re really just trying to stay present for Tate. Oh, that’s good to hear. Actually, speaking of visiting Tate, I’m going to go see him right after the christening. Oh, what about the demerit house gathering?

Uh, I send my regrets. I think it’s best to just steer clear of E Gen.

Don’t think that’s gonna be too easy to do. You’re looking

Lovely, Nicole. Thank you, Roman. Um, where are Eric and Sloan? I don’t know. I haven’t seen them. I’m sure they’ll be here any minute.

No interest in going to that house afterwards for the big party. Honestly, just thinking about it makes the hairs on the back of my neck just stand up. You know what? You’re a better person than I am, Brady. I’m just doing it for Eric and Jude. I’m gonna suck it up and do what’s right.

Hey,

I just want to say thank you to everyone for being here on this special day. Jude, he’s really lucky to have everyone in his life. We’re all lucky. Here, here. That was very eloquent, Eric. Mercifully brief, light on the schmaltz, always preferable in my book. Thank you, Leo. And I promise that whatever happens here today will be off the record.

That precious little angel, he looks exquisite in his christening outfit. That was the same one that Eric wore when he was christened. I bet he wore it well. Um, final diaper check before the big event. How

are you doing? Well, initially I was doing okay, but I don’t know, being here in the house of the Lord and seeing a little baby, I’m having a hard time. I will be with you every step of the way. Catch you. I’m gonna go see the phone. Your father, Annie Sloan, she’s getting Jude ready for his christening. And I’m pretty sure no one else is here.

We can just wait a minute. There she is. Hi. Hi. Oh, I’m so happy you could make it. Wouldn’t have missed it. If everyone can start to take their places. Hey. Hi, Holly. How’s Tate? Oh, he’s doing really well. You know, minus the ankle monitor and the restraining order. Yeah, thanks for that, by the way. Much appreciated.

What? I’m not allowed to talk to her?

Welcome friends and family. What a glorious day to be together to celebrate this beautiful life before us. A joyous moment and a testament to the blessed gift from God to you both.

Eric and Sloan, is it your will that Jude should be baptized in the faith of the church which we have all professed with you? It is. I baptize you in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. God, the father, our Lord Jesus Christ has freed you from sin, given you a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and he welcomes you into his holy people.

He now anoints you with the chrism of salvation as Christ was anointed priest prophet and King. So may you live always as a member of his body sharing of a lasting life. Amen. Amen. Ah! It’s a good thing Detective Hunter’s cars are rolling forward. Oh, God. Oh, God. Just breathe. Just breathe. That’s what they say in the movies, right?

Deep breath in. Deep breath out. Oh, if you say deep one more time, I’m going to pull your vocal cords out. Careful. I think she means it. Ah! Ah! Where’s the baby’s father? EJ needs to be here. He’s going to be a no show, unfortunately. Oh god, it’s close. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s very close. Not that much is obvious.

And panic attack and goose bump inducing. Oh, someone needs to catch this baby. Please. Hey, I am holding her hand and hyperventilating. You’re not doing anything. Me? You’re the one who insisted on being here in the first place. Guys! Okay, okay, okay. Oh my god, oh my god. An actual human being is about to emerge from there.

I need I’m not gonna I’m not going to faint. I’m going to be calm. I’m going to be cool. No! Please, I need to push! I’m going to pretend that I am Dr. Leo Stark, who has delivered millions of babies so brilliantly that when they pop out, they don’t even cry. They just smile and wave. Now, come on! Pepper him right in here!

The baby is coming! Okay, Nicole, look at me, look at me, look at me. You got this. We have got this. I need you to take one last deep breath. Okay. And then push a little tissue. It’s a

boy. He’s so adorable. That teeny little nose. All those little fingers. He’s my precious baby. It’s a little miracle. Jude, you have become

a new creation and have clothed yourself in Christ. See this white garment as the outward sign of your Christian dignity unstained into everlasting life of heaven. Amen. Sorry. So sorry, and sorry to you as well. Oh Lord. Oh Lord. I have something to say. Something very important. Something that can’t wait.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, my. I can’t believe that you fell into this. Yeah, that’s, uh, quite unbelievable. It’s gonna be perfect for June. I think so, too. Oh, and I have a suggestion, if you don’t mind. Um, I think you would do well to, to get a port a crib. Yeah. For the reception. I mean, I don’t know if he’s going to need a nap, but I can’t imagine they will have an actual crib at the DiMera mansion.

As opposed to the pub, for which dad has watched all the Brady grandchildren since forever. I don’t understand why there was a change in venue. Nicole, she wanted to host a party for Jude. And what did Sloane say about that? She wasn’t thrilled because I said yes without asking. Oh, Eric. I know, I know. But how was I supposed to say no to Nicole?

After everything she’s been through.

So, Eric’s gonna want to take a ton of pictures tomorrow. Uh, do you think we should set up outside? I mean, the daffodils are finally blooming and I did plant those lovely California poppies. Yes. Honestly, I don’t think anything is going to beat that creepy ass Stefano DiMera portrait as a backdrop. I mean, it’ll just look like a poster for a horror movie.

That is not true. Okay, speaking of garden, do you want to go outside? I think we could both use some fresh air. Um, nah, I’d rather not. I just want to go to my room. Thanks. Honey, wait. Honey, is everything okay? No, it’s not.

Alright, Dr. Nichols told me to read back what I wrote, so uh, here goes nothing. Dear Annoying Stupid Journal, My therapist said I can write whatever I want in here, as long as it’s honest. But, I gotta say, this feels really weird. Yeah. Uh, I don’t think I’ve written by hand since the third grade. It was Tyler’s class.

God, she hated me. Anyway, I don’t need therapy to get me back on track. Get me, yeah, whatever that means. I just need to get out of here. Hi. Seriously, only you would be mainlining caffeine at this hour. Sure. That’s, uh Good idea. Well, no tremors. Haven’t keeled over yet, so that’s positive. Thanks for meeting me.

Well, I’ve been wanting to talk to you too. Oh, really? I’ve been trying to reach you with a spectator, but Chad said you’ve barely been around. Yeah, I’ve had a lot on my plate. Great. Great. Well, I’ve wanted to deal with you directly since You were the one who retained my firm. Yeah, okay. It’d be best if you hired a new PR firm for The Spectator.

I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to work together anymore.

So, uh, you wanna let me in? Are you afraid I’m gonna shoot you?

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

Alright, what can I do for you, Xander? Not a thing. I, uh, came to thank you, actually, for helping me make bail. I owe you, mate. You don’t owe me anything. I couldn’t positively ID my shooter, so the judge made the right call. He did. That’s the other reason I’m here to see you. I, I wanted to say that, yes, I have done some terrible things in my past, but I am a changed man because I’m a father now.

Nothing is more important to me than being a good person. For my daughter and for the women I love, I, I want them both to be proud of me. So I want you to know for certain, straight from the horse’s mouth. I did not shoot you, detective. I am innocent.

Steph, don’t do this. Don’t punish yourself because you’re angry with me, which you have every right to be. Look, I hired you to do PR and social media for the paper because you’re the best that there is. But if you don’t want to deal directly with me, um, I’m sure Chad would be more than happy to be your point.

I don’t want to deal directly with you in a professional setting, Everett. Bobby, I don’t even know what I should call you. I can think of a lot more names, and they’re worse than the ones you just mentioned. Does this mean you’re finally admitting that you were married when you and I were together in Seattle?

That you cheated on Jada with me?

If I understand what happened,

there’s still a lot more questions than there are answers. But yes, I have come to realize that there’s a lot more gaps in my memory than I, than I initially thought. What kind of gaps? Um, well, for instance,

I can’t remember my father. Hello.

You know that Sloan has issues with Nicole, and for good reason. So what, you want me to uninvite Nicole to the christening? You can’t, you can’t uninvite her to the christening since you already have her planning the entire reception at DiMera Mansion. I know.

You know what, it’s just that Nicole and Holly are like family to me. Oh. Well, how does Sloan feel about this? Well, she’s not exactly happy with me. But you know what, Nicole, she stopped by the house this morning and believe it or not, Sloan and Nicole, they kind of, they kind of bonded. Really? Yeah. Well, you know, Judy was a bit fussy this morning, so Nicole, she kind of calmed him down.

Yeah. So I actually seem to be grateful. Well, that’s a very positive step. Yeah. I still worry a little bit.

Worry about what?

Your relationship with Nicole is very complex. And I think you’ve got to be sensitive for other people. I am trying my best, Mom. Listen, I think you need to stop worrying too, okay? Okay, I won’t worry. I just, I just want you and Sloane to be happy. And what is that supposed to mean?

I want you to be happily married. What did you think it meant?

What’s the matter, honey? Are you Mom, relax. I’m not feeling sick. I’m just upset. About Tate. Yes, about Tate. When I told you the drugs weren’t his, I thought he’d be released from that halfway house. But instead, you didn’t believe me. Honey, it’s not that we didn’t believe you. You admitted yourself that you don’t remember everything that happened.

Well, I remember everything before that night perfectly. And I never saw Tate using drugs. Ever! Well, there’s a first time for everything. And Tate was acting awfully suspicious that night. Okay, so? It’s not like you can prove he roofied me. And why the hell did EJ have to go slap a restraining order on him?

EJ and I agree that you and Tate need to take a break from each other’s company. God. You act like Tate’s this horrible influence on me, and we literally went on one real date. And look how that turned out. Not because of Tate.

Mom, listen. What happened on New Year’s Eve, it wasn’t his fault.

It was mine.

I’m sorry. I, um, I just thought you were trying to tell me something that Cole might have Set in therapy. Well, that would be quite an ethical breach, wouldn’t it? Yeah, it would. I’m sorry that Jim’s asleep. Oh, it’s okay. I will see plenty of him tomorrow. Yeah. By the way, um, I’m looking forward to tomorrow, and Brady is, as well.

He’s taking his duties as godparent very seriously. I’m so glad you asked. With all that’s been going on with him lately. Yeah, he needed this. Yeah, I know. And of course we’re all hoping that Tate is released. As soon as Holly wakes up and, um, remembers what actually happened on New Year’s Eve. But it seems that she doesn’t remember where she got the drugs.

Brady thinks, uh, She’s not telling the truth. Of course, he, he would seriously want to believe his own son. And Nicole wants to believe Holly’s telling the truth. As much as I hate to say it, because I love, love Holly. But, say what? Brady’s not the only one who thinks Holly’s not telling the truth. Holly,

honey, look at me. She’s not. You have got to stop blaming yourself for that night. Even if Tate didn’t give you those drugs, they weren’t yours. Mom. Honey, let me just finish, okay? Marlena made me realize that self blame is a coping mechanism. And it’s just sometimes the way we deal with trauma, but You know, it’s not, it’s not really good for anyone.

And that, that night, Holly, that terrible night that you OD’d, I thought there is no way those are Holly’s drugs. Not a chance. But then, self doubt started creeping in and, and I started to question myself. And I was wondering, man, am I oblivious to what’s going on under my own roof with my own daughter? So I started to blame myself for failing you as a mother.

For not being more attentive, and, and missing out on your birthday, and, and making you worry about me when I should be worrying about you. Mom, you were going through so much when you lost that baby. Please don’t be so hard on yourself, okay? Honey, I just, I want you to understand what I’m saying. I realized that you do not do drugs, and you were the victim on New Year’s Eve.

Someone maliciously put drugs in your drink without you knowing about it and it almost ended your life. And I blamed myself for no reason. Just like you are now. My sweetheart. What could you possibly be sorry for? Why would I want to be with someone who obviously doesn’t care about me? When? Holly only dated me to get over her big crush on Johnny DiMera, her step brother, and now she won’t admit those were her drugs that made her OD.

Hers, and hers alone, which makes her selfish and mean. Not my friend. God, I need to get over her. Wait, you don’t remember your father? You never realized it before now? Yeah, I don’t know. I, uh, guess I thought it was sort of an out of sight, out of mind sort of thing. But when I was in session with Marlena, you know, she, she asked me about my mom.

And even though she, she died when I was younger, I could still see her face, you know? I could, I could smell her, her perfume. But when she asked me about my dad, uh, I don’t know. Total blank. It’s really strange. Steph, did I ever tell you anything about him? No, you didn’t. I mean, I remember asking you about him once.

You just kind of zoned out on me. So I, I figured it was a sensitive subject. And I never asked again.

Well, thank you for your time, detective. I’ll be on my way. That’s it? Yeah, that’s it. I came by to say my piece, which I’ve done. You, uh, you drink scotch? Um, yeah. Yeah? Single malt? Okay. Of course. Okay, got some right here.

Ask how you can so calmly offer to share a drink with someone who everyone else believes tried to kill you. Because I have a gun.

And I believe you didn’t try to kill me.

Detective Michaels, it uh, obviously means a great deal to me that you believe in my innocence, but why do you? Well, from one ex mercenary to another, I know what it’s like to be accused of something you didn’t do. And of course, there have been plenty of times I was guilty. Likewise. But I have been working really hard on myself, turned over a new leaf, and I get the impression that you’re trying to do the same thing.

I have been, yeah. And look, like I say, I’ve done many regrettable things in my past. But I’d never be stupid enough to try and shoot a cop. Not anymore, especially now that Sarah and I are back together and we have our little girl, who’s the light of my life. I mean, I’m so happy. Why would I risk it all to put a bullet in you?

I mean, no offense, but I don’t even know you. Right, right, which is the assumption why you were a gun for hire. Yeah, but I wasn’t. I just wished there was some way to track down who sent me that text and deposited the money into my account. Well, we know that forensics came up empty. Okay. So, assuming you were set up.

Do you have any idea who might have been behind it? Wait, you think Holly may be lying? I think it’s possible. Um, I told Brady that I would talk to her and I did. She was evasive. Oh. Well, I’m glad you spoke to her and I’m sure that Brady will be very grateful that you did. And, I just hope the truth comes out.

Soon. Yeah. So how are you doing, Mom? Me? Yeah. Brady said that John’s been a little, I don’t know, out of sorts lately. Is there anything I can do? No. No, darling. Well, if you ever want to talk about it. You’ll be my first call. Well, I should get going. Let me walk you out.

Thanks for coming by. Love this boy. Thanks. Honey, you have nothing to feel guilty about. Nothing at all. So can you just be kind to yourself? Yeah, I’ll try. Listen, I have to go pick up a few more things for the christening tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? Mom, I’m kind of tired now. Well, call me if you need anything.

I love you. I love you too, Mom. See you.

Serenity Salem halfway house. Come on, come on, come on. And then she comes down to the police station to tell the truth. At least that’s what I thought she was going to do. But she didn’t. And now I’m not even allowed to see her.

Maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe I don’t need her in my life anymore.

So did Marlena have any idea why your memory was so badly affected? I mean, yeah, she said it very likely has to do with the brain injury from the accident. Hmm. And she suggested we try hypnotherapy. Sounds like it’s worth a try. Yeah, I said I would give it a try. The truth is

What? I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just scared of what might come up. You know, especially since I was told I was, uh Monster. That I did Awful, unforgivable things. But Everett, if If you’re upset that you did those things Or maybe I didn’t It’s pretty clear that you did. And maybe with hypnotherapy You’ll learn that there was some Mitigating factor And it could be that you’re Just a different person now.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. In which case, I suppose it would be too much to ask. Too much to hope for that, that you and I, uh, Never mind. I know it would be too much to hope for.

Everett, I’m sorry that you’re dealing with this mental health issue. I really am.

And I know that you don’t have a lot of people to lean on here, so I’m not going to disappear on you. I appreciate that. And I did have real feelings for you. Which, as you know, I was starting to To have, again, but It’s okay. I I think I I know where you’re going with this.

I’m not saying anything’s impossible.

If it’s meant to be. When it’s all said and done. We will figure it out.

Okay. I’ll take it.

Don’t give up on my stuff.

Hmm. Can’t say I’m a sister because she’s only eight. Do I say I’m a long loss? And who died tragically in a skiing accident. No, I can’t call him dead, uh,

Yes, that’s it. That should work.

Good evening, Serenity House, Salem. Hello, may I please speak with Tate Black? This is his mother, Teresa Donovan.

Phone call, Tate Black, from your mother. Tell her I’m meditating, or whatever. I’ll call her tomorrow. She says it’s important. Okay, okay, I’m coming.

Dr. Evans, hi. Herbert, hi. How are you? I’m, uh, I’m, I’m okay. I’m, I’m headed home. Yes, I am too. So, uh, have you had any more memories? I haven’t, no, unfortunately. Oh, well. We’ll keep working on that. Yeah. Okay. Good night. Yeah. Dr. Evans, wait. Jada,

hi! Wait, you’re not even going to say hi? I didn’t see you. I have a lot on my mind. Me too. Listen, I got the distinct impression at the hospital earlier that you were We’re upset with me. I’m upset at the entire Bobby situation. Why wouldn’t I be? Right. Of course. I am too. Listen, Jada. We’re friends. And we were both victims of his lies.

So can we please just Get together and talk about it. See, the thing is, I don’t see you as a victim. I’m the one who was cheated on. Well, yes, but And maybe it seems a little irrational. I mean, maybe it is rational. But I Can’t help but keep bumping up against the fact that You are the other woman You helped break up my marriage

I’m sorry, you feel that way Jada that you think of me as the other woman

But don’t you think the person you should be mad at here is Everett? Oh, I’m plenty mad at him, too Jada, I know that you were hurt. And I am so sorry about that. But I didn’t know that Everett was married. And if I had, I never would have gotten involved with him. You sure about that? What? That you didn’t know.

Yes, I’m sure I didn’t. Or maybe a small part of you just didn’t want to know.

Why would you say that? Stephanie, did you ever hang out with his friends? Meet his parents? Look them up on the internet? Yeah, none of the above. Right. So, Stephanie, this man was keeping his life a secret from you, obviously. And you, being a smart woman, had to have suspected that there was a reason for that.

And yet, you didn’t. You didn’t do any digging. You didn’t even pick up a shovel. Because maybe, you don’t know, maybe, maybe you just didn’t want to mess up your life. You know, you were just so blissfully happy and in love that you didn’t want to find out anything that would screw that up and mess up your perfect little life.

Well,

unfortunately. Salem is home to a number of people who would love nothing more than to do me in. EJ DiMera probably being at the top of that list. So, when I got that text, ordering me to carry out the hit, I ran over to the DiMera mansion to confront EJ about it, but Stefan was the only one home, it turned out.

I see. And, you no longer think that EJ set you up? Well, I just, I don’t know why he’d want to do you in. I mean. Sure, maybe he was trying to protect the family name. You did do that drug bust on a DiMera owned business, but it just doesn’t seem like reason enough to have you murdered. You’re the cop. What do you think?

Nothing concrete, so far. Right. Well, as far as I know, there was only one eyewitness to the shooting. And that was you. So are you sure you don’t remember anything at all?

Well, I know I agreed to try hypnotherapy. But, I have to admit the more I The more I think about it, I don’t know, the more afraid I am of what might come up. Huh. I understand. And the truth is that Not knowing could be even more destabilizing. And, and knowing might help you get rid of some of your fears.

So maybe, um, maybe we just want to move forward. I see what you’re saying, but, um, honestly, I, uh, I’m not sure.

Hey, Mom, what is it? What’s so important? It’s me. Hey, hey, remember, you’re on the phone to your mother. Right, right, yeah, of course. Uh, hi, mom. Uh, I’m doing great. How are you? Are you okay? I’m okay. But Tate, I’m so sorry about everything that’s happened. And she’s being such a jerk. I really wanted to see you when I came to the police station.

So badly, but they wouldn’t let me. I know. And now this restraining order. I just I can’t stand that this is happening to you because of me. Well, there’s something you can do about it. I know. And why don’t you?

I was stopping by the chapel to see Father Bernard. About the reading for the Baptist. Right. Well, I’m sure you’re surprised to see me here. Yeah. I’ve never really been much of a church goer, even when I worked here. But, ever since losing the baby, and everything that Holly’s been going through, I’ve just been talking to God a lot lately.

Unfortunately, I haven’t heard from Him yet. Well, just keep listening. Okay. Yeah. You know, actually, I’ve, I’ve been doing the same thing lately.

You know, running into you, here, it just kind of feels like, Like what? Feels like fate.

Nicole, I have a confession.

Sorry, I don’t remember anything. But whoever it was, They shot you in the chest, so you must have been face to face with him, or her, or them. Yeah, look, even if I, uh, do recover some of those memories, I’m not gonna tell the prime suspect anything about the investigation. I’m sure you can understand that.

Yeah, so, I will tell you this. Uh, while the charges against you remain active, and assuming that you’re innocent, I’m I will do everything in my power to clear your name. You just gotta be patient. That’s not my strong suit. Yeah, well, the wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn. And I believe we’re gonna find that shooter.

I don’t know about that, mate. And you know what they say? No justice, no peace.

You think I have a perfect life? Really? Thanks. Well, first of all, you know damn well that I have my struggles just like you do. And my God, Jade, where is this coming from? Oh, am I not supposed to ask you questions? And I’m not a detective like you are. No, you’re not. In fact, have you ever had a job where you even had to get your hands dirty?

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Oh, nothing really. I mean, I guess it’s irrelevant. But what is relevant, huh? If I found out that a guy cheated on my dear old friend with me, I wouldn’t be sticking by his side. That’s not what I’m doing. That seems like that’s exactly what you’re doing.

Being all so sympathetic to the poor guy. Who cares if he’s a lying sociopath? Your heart is just bleeding for him, isn’t it? Everett is going through a lot right now. He is very confused. And he doesn’t have any friends or family here. Poor bastard. Have a good day. Everett, you know, whatever we discover in therapy under hypnosis, and, and it may be nothing at all, but whatever it is, I will be with you every step of the way.

Thank you. Of course. I will see you at our session. You will. Promise. Look, when

I told my mom and EJ the drugs weren’t yours, I thought that would be enough. But it wasn’t, Polly. Listen, Tate, would you just let me explain, please? I’m sorry. When my mom lost the baby, she was in a really dark place. I mean, she was out of her freaking mind with grief. And then when I OD’d, she was totally about to blame herself if it turned out those drugs were mine.

For, for not being there for me. For being not a good enough mom. Tate, it would kill her if she thought those drugs were mine. I honestly don’t think she could take it. And she, she sort of lost her mind when that little boy died. If I told her the truth about what happened on New Year’s Eve, she would just totally fall apart.

Look, I, um, I gotta know that you weren’t being selfish, that you were just trying to protect your mom. I am, but Tate, I feel so bad about what you’ve gone through, what you’re still going through. It’s okay, I’m not gonna be in this place for much longer, at least I hope not. But your mom going off the rails, that could, that could destroy your whole family.

So you shouldn’t tell her, ever. What? Tate. It’s okay, really, don’t worry about me. But I am worried about you. Look, this, uh, this halfway house, it’s not so bad. I mean, you know, it’s not a five star hotel or anything, but the food’s not horrible. Tate, are you Just take care of your mom. Okay? EJ’s home. I have to go.

You have a confession.

Wouldn’t you rather talk to a priest? No. This is something that I want to tell you. Only you. Okay, I’m, I’m listening. Oh. When you, when you came by this morning, I was, I was getting out of the shower and

Well, I kind of eavesdropped on you and slumped for a bit. Okay. Yeah, well, it’s just because I was worried that you two weren’t going to be able to get along. Once I saw you help her calm Jude down, Wow. It just did my heart good. I’m glad.

You know, after everything that we’ve been through, I’m just, I’m really grateful that we can still be friends.

So am I.

Wow, that really wasn’t much of a confession. No. I guess not.

I guess I just, I just wanted to share with you how much our friendship means to me.

As yours does to me. Well, I’m gonna let you finish your prayer. And, uh, I’ll see you here tomorrow for the baptism. Yes. Yes. I’ll, um, I’ll see you tomorrow. Okay. Yeah. Take care.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, Mom. Oh, my goodness. You didn’t tell me you were coming today. What a surprise. Oh, I wasn’t even sure that I was until these arrived. A little gift for Wendy and Tripp. Uh, from who? Why don’t you come with me to find out? I Well, uh, you know, I have a little something myself for them. They’re discharge papers.

So why don’t you just give me a second. I’ll finish them up and we can go give them everything together. Perfect. Sounds like a plan. I’m so glad we’re going home. Oh, me too. Can’t wait to sleep in my own bed. Oh, won’t that be nice? Comfy mattress and some soft pillows. And Tripp,

Look, I know we both said this before, but I think it bears repeating. I have never felt closer to you than I do now. Because of what we went through, yeah, but also because of how brave you were and how safe and loved You made me feel, even when we were both losing hope. You did the same thing for me? I hope so.

Anyway, one of the moments you made me feel the most safe and loved was Okay, I know we were both dizzy and weak and Oxygen deprived. But I remember me accepting your marriage proposal And then us saying our vows and After I asked if you would marry me for real when we were rescued If we were rescued you remember that too, right?

Yeah. Yeah, of course I do Well, what I don’t remember clearly is what your answer was. So maybe you can give me an answer now?

I am so glad to have you home, my sweet love. Oh, it’s so good to have you back 100%, my darling husband. Oh, and to have you home. Oh, you know, all my life, uh, I’ve comforted myself by believing that no matter what. What terrible things, uh, befell me that, you know, I thought I would be okay. Mm hmm. Because someone was looking after me.

You know, I wasn’t sure who, either God or guardian angel. Now, mind you, mind you, some part of me knew it was wishful thinking, a little self important too, thinking I was special somehow. that I was singled out to be taken care of in that way. But I just, I just needed, I needed to believe that so I could, you know, keep on keeping on.

Well, I have comforted myself that way too. Well, Abraham, now, we know, though, we know. We know someone is taking care of us. It’s not just wishful thinking. Yeah. We know. This is a priority. Good, you’re still here. Yep, and headed home for the night. Let’s, uh, talk tomorrow. No, no,

we gotta, we gotta talk tonight. Now, about your relationship with Kristen.

Oh, so that’s who was at the door. Harold helped me in. I’m guessing you were just too lazy to get up. Well, darling, that’s what servants are for. To what do I owe this pleasure, Teresa? What the hell is going on between you and Alex? Just spill it, Kristen. What are you doing? What is your endgame?

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

You know, at first, I thought I was hallucinating. Oh, scared me out of my mind. You Wasn’t sure if Lexi was taking me up or up the stairs or down, or where she was taking me. But, once, once that fear disappeared, Abraham, I’ll tell you, just an overwhelming sense of peace. Just came over me and I knew everything was going to be okay.

You know what we experienced that night? It was something beyond a miracle. Hmm. Oh, Abraham, oh, I, oh, I do, I love you. I love you with all my heart. Oh, my very strong and healthy heart.

Thank God.

Thank Lexi. Guardian Angel.

That conversation, yes, and my proposal. Yeah, sure. I know it was under really strange circumstances, okay? We were both scared out of our minds, and dazed, and struggling to breathe. But I just wanted you to know Hello, hello, hello! Hey! How are you feeling? Uh, great. Yeah, we’re fine. Yeah, I’m ready to get out of here.

Well, before you head out I have a surprise for you. Oh? From Joey. He’s been checking in with me non stop. Oh. He’s been very worried about you two. So I was instructed to deliver these as soon as they arrived. Ah. This is for you. Thank you. And this one’s for you. Oh, heavy. Well, come on. Aren’t you going to open it?

We want to see what’s inside. Well, there is no end game, Teresa. Nor am I up to anything. Alex and I were just dating, that’s all. Getting to know each other better. Oh, Paul, please. You haven’t shown one iota of interest toward Alex this whole time, and now you’re locking lips with him in the square? Oh, that’s because he wasn’t available before.

Until you moved out, and after rejecting his proposal. I mean, wow. Where was your head on that one, Teresa? Oh, my God. I mean, that man, he is just Fascinating. Witty. Oh my God, those abs. What possessed you to give all that up?

As I thought we established earlier, my relationship with Kristen is none of your business. Anything. Anything involving my daughter is my business. Your daughter? What do you mean? I mean, Alex, what are your intentions towards my child? Towards your childbred? You gotta slow down, pal. I just started seeing Kristen.

Okay, being a stepdad to an eight year old girl, it’s not on the immediate to do list for me. What? What is the look? The look, Alex, is because first you’re dating Teresa, the mother of my son. Now you’re dating the mother of my daughter. So what? So what? You don’t see a pattern? Here? Don’t you think? No, I don’t think I see a pattern, Brady, but What exactly are you accusing me of?

Wow, cheers to life. That is totally not what I expected. That is such a Joey gift. Yeah, yeah, always a family comedian. Hilarious. What’s in yours?

Oh, it’s my favorite Seattle beer. Oh, so hilarious. Like you never want to drink beer again. Oh, yeah. Let’s get that right back in here. Yeah. All right to come in? Hey, there’s detective. Yeah.

I hate to interrupt, uh, but I have some follow up questions for the both of you about your kidnapping. Okay. If you’re up to it. Of course. Yeah, anything you need. Abe, I have something to admit

to you. What? Well, see, um, I’m a little bit jealous. Jealous? of Lexi. Oh, I know. I know. I know. It’s not rational or fair to her memory, especially after the miraculous gift she gave us both to want to be the, um, to want to be the love of your life, to be, to be the one, I guess, I guess it’s my need to want to be special to you.

Oh, is that greedy of me to want that, to need that? It’s not greedy. It’s human. Paulina, my wonderful, wonderful wife. You’re the one that I love now.

I love you with all my heart. And for the rest of my life.

Oh, Lucky! That makes me. Oh, Abraham.

Clearly, you haven’t been listening. Kristen and I are getting to know each other, Brady. That’s all. Alex, you know, you know that Teresa despises Kristen, right? You ever seen two feral cats in a freaking bag? It’s not pretty. So what the hell does that have to do with me? You knew damn well that Teresa would blow a gasket seeing you kiss Kristen like that.

Well, Teresa went bye bye. She can’t have it both ways. Bye bye. I mean. It’s just over? Just done? Just like that? Doesn’t make sense, Alex. I’m sorry. I saw the way you reacted when Teresa was high. I know you care about her. You do. Cared. Past tense. Yeah, sorry. I’m not buying it. Listen, if all you’re trying to do is make Teresa jealous, I think you’re making a mistake.

These two women are like fire and dynamite, Alex. I swear to God, they might just blow up in your face.

I did not give Alex up. Well, that’s not what I heard. Well, his proposal to me wasn’t even real. It was a pity proposal. That says a lot about you, doesn’t it? And why do you even care that Alex and I are a thing? I mean, you’re shacking up with Brady these days. I am not shacking up with Brady these days. I am staying at John Marlena’s house temporarily in my son’s room.

Well, that seems very convenient for you and Brady, I suppose. Listen to me, there is nothing going on between me and Brady. Our son is in a crisis. And we are united together in helping him. That’s it. That’s the truth. Okay, Teresa, then I’ll clue you in on my truth. I will tell you what I’m really doing with Alex.

First things first, I’m glad you’re okay. The whole department was very worried about you guys. And kudos to you for knowing sign language for beer. That was very quick thinking. Very smart. I just hoped someone would get it. Well, they did. Obviously. Okay, so I was looking over your statement from the night you were rescued.

Thank you. And is there anything else you’ve remembered since you were questioned? I’m pretty sure I covered everything. What about Officer Goldman? Did she give you any clues on where she and Weston might be headed?

Yeah, so besides being our brother’s beer mule, what’s been going on with you? Oh, nothing you need to hear right now. Okay. It’s my mom, I have to take this. Hey, Mom. So, how are you really? I saw that icy look between you and Jada. I’m sure Dad filled you in on everything. He did. But listen, if you want to talk, I’m here, alright?

I know you are.

My mom has been calling me non stop since the rescue. She is wanting to make sure exactly when we’re getting out so she can have the car outside waiting for us. Well, I understand that. Listen, Tripp, we thought we lost you. So if your father and I hover over you more than usual, just, you know, you’re just going to have to deal with it.

I’m sorry. Hey, no, I was afraid that I was never going to see you guys again. So, a little hovering is fine with me. Oh, I can’t wait to hear this. Do tell. Tell, tell me. Tell me what’s going on between you and Alex. All right, Theresa. Well, as you know, I am a single parent, and it has been a very long time since I’ve had companionship.

And Alex, he’s just, oh, he’s such a gem. He’s witty, he’s sexy, and I really do love being with him. And Rachel, I really think she’s gonna benefit from a positive male influence. Yeah, I believe it. That’s Brady’s job. Oh. Well, in a perfect scenario, Rachel would have both her parents together, but, uh, Brady, uh, he’s not open to that idea.

Oh, Paul, please. This is not 1955. You know, men and women can co parent without being together, right? Yes, right. That is very true, Teresa. And I’m sure you would agree that it is usually best for a child. To be with her parents together in a loving relationship. And, you know, as much as I’m enjoying being with your ex, if someone were to help Brady with the idea of a relationship with yours truly, then I dare say Alex wouldn’t stand a chance.

I’m going to see myself out.

All this resentment of me playing games with your ex, it’s kind of hypocritical, don’t you think? How’s that? I’ll break, come on, you have to remember. While I was with Teresa and I walked into my apartment and the two of you were hugging and kissing on my couch. All right. For God’s sake, we’re gonna do this again?

What do you mean we’re gonna do it again? Were you, were you not Playing games? Were you not messing with my head trying to make me jealous? Alex, there was and there is no reason for you to be jealous about that. Listen, Teresa, we talked about this. Teresa and I share a son. He was having a hard time.

Teresa fell off the wagon. I was there for her. We told you at the time it meant nothing. Why are you bringing this up again, man? Probably because I didn’t believe you at that time. Just like I don’t really believe you right now

Well Look, all I can tell you is I’m happy that you gave me the real scoop about what’s going on with Kristen. I want you to take it from someone who knows you’re not dealing with one, but two women That are a lot of work And they can make you really miserable Just don’t say I didn’t warn you, okay?

We need to talk Brady, how did you get in here? Harold let me in. You obviously didn’t hear the doorbell, did you? Well, I was listening to Bach. It’s the Goldberg Variation. It’s very magical. Um, do you want to sit? No, I’m not going to stay long. I just wanted to let you know I had a really enlightening conversation with Alex.

Oh, well, how is my boyfriend? He’s perplexed, Kristen. Yeah. He views what he’s doing with you as purely fun and games. He was very surprised to hear that he was a candidate to be stepfather to my daughter. Oh, well, I mean the games are certainly fun. Um, and as for future, um, I think Alex would make a great stepdad for Rachel.

And who knows, maybe, uh, we’ll even give her a baby brother or a baby sister. Just, just, just stop. Starts the line. Give me a break, okay? He said in no uncertain terms that you are not serious. You’re never gonna get a commitment out of that guy, okay? Brady, I think you’re actually jealous. I don’t recall Officer Goldman saying anything about where she was headed.

Okay. Then let’s go back to the kidnapping. Uh, you said you and Tripp were in the park during the geocaching event. Right. That’s where Officer Goldman approached us. She said we were in danger. That, that she’d been assigned to follow us and that, that she needed to escort us to a safe location. And given everything that had been going on, I don’t know.

We went with her.

Then what else? We got into the back of this unmarked van. And then she drove for a while. And Tripp and I remembered hearing sounds like, like airplanes.

And then when she finally stopped, she told us to get out. And took us to that beer tank. She locked us up in there, as you know. If, if you want to stop. No,

it’s okay. Whenever you’re ready.

When we were in that tank, Officer Goldman would show up, randomly. With food, water, She made Tripp make that video. And then after God knows how long, because we had no way to tell the time, we heard

the fence close. And we thought, this is it.

And so in those last moments, we exchanged wedding vows. And then, we held each other until

Somebody stopped breathing, I guess.

Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I know that was very hard for you.

So, uh, you consider yourself married now? I don’t know. It just felt right at the time. Well, listen, if you and Tripp Have the real deal. It’ll last.

I keep thinking about you and Wendy in that beer tank for all that time. How did you survive? Well, I mean, food and water was graciously provided by Officer Goldman, your friendly neighborhood kidnapper. You know, and that kept us going up until she tried to kill us, at least. How did you keep from going crazy?

Yeah, we used our imaginations, played games, talked about the future, made travel plans, even got married. What? What? So you’re here to pick up the stuff you left behind after you bolted? Just stopping by. How are you? Peachy. Haven’t seen you around the office lately. Hey. Yeah, well, that’s because I’ve been working remotely a lot, you know.

And, um, I’ve been seeing Tate a lot since he’s local again now. Right, right, right. That makes sense. You know, um, when I saw you with Kristen earlier Oh, she’s a wild child, isn’t she? Yeah, wild, like straight out of the jungle wild. Anyway, um, It really got me thinking that I need to dig deep, dig really deep down and think about our relationship.

And? And, when you proposed to me and I flew off the handle and I packed up my bags, maybe I just, I don’t know, I think maybe I overreacted.

And then I vowed to love her and cherish her until I drew my very last breath on this earth. Wow, so romantic. It was. And, uh, and then I asked her, you know, in those final moments of ours, if she would marry me for real once we were rescued. And did she say yes? Oh, Tripp. You and Winnie are obviously so in love.

And then to go through what you did together. I’m just, I’m so happy for you both. So am I. No, I know I am. I am. Yeah, but why do I feel a but coming? Ah, you know, I’m very touched by everything you just told us. And I, and I think that Wendy is a great girl. I do. It’s just that you were all so young. And you were in a very intense.

situation. I think what I’m trying to say is that, um, I just, I just think maybe you should wait to think about marriage. You know? Give it a little time, and if you and Wendy are meant to be together, you’re gonna be together. Just don’t rush into anything, okay? Hey, so Wendy and I just wrapped. Tripp, do you mind if you and I talk now?

Um, Sure. We’ll get out of your hair. Yes, let’s go check on Wendy.

So, ready to start?

You think anyone will miss us if we stay home all week? I think your constituents will come looking for you. But maybe, maybe we should start planning a nice, long, relaxing vacation. Somewhere tropical. To eat? Yeah, like, uh, in one of those huts that just sits up on the ocean. Just you, me, and, oh, the ocean.

Oh, yeah. Sounds like heaven. Oh, look. I can just feel that tropical breeze. Right now.

So you think you may have overreacted. Big time. Well, I would have to agree with that, Teresa. You moving out was an, that was a major overreaction.

Especially because I was just being honest about my feelings. Yeah. Well, maybe I just didn’t want to hear your feelings. But, um, now, after I’ve had some time to think, I think that I should re evaluate my decision. I’ve missed you, Alex. I’ve missed your touch. Haven’t you missed me? I know you have.

Yeah, that little kiss between us definitely raised her hackles. There is no doubt about it. She is mighty jealous. Well, good. That’s how it’s supposed to be. You keep making her jealous, and you keep making her want more and more of what she can’t have. And Alex, this time, don’t look things up.

Teresa, this isn’t a good idea. Sounds like a good idea to me. No, I think you need to go. Teresa. Now.

In any conversation that you had with Officer Goldman, were you able to pick up any clue? As to where she and Weston were going. No, uh, Goldman didn’t really say much. Just, you know, do this, do that. Read the script. Right. And at any time when Goldman opened the tank door, was there anyone with her? No. No, she was always, always alone.

Listen, my mom, she’s been calling and texting me the whole time. Do you mind if I answer her?

Uh, anything else? Uh, not at this time. But this is an open investigation, and I need to speak to you both again, okay? Yeah, for sure. Um, we want to help you catch Goldman and Clyde Weston, obviously. It’s just, I think, right now, I think it’s time for Wendy and I to finally go home.

Hello, hello! Hey! Hi, how’d it go? It was okay, I guess. Tripp told us more about what you guys went through in there. And how you kept each other’s spirits up. In the vows. Beautiful. Yeah, they were. I’m so sorry that you went through all of that. I’m so happy my brother wasn’t alone.

Jealous? Of you and, and Alex? Yeah, no, I don’t think so. Then why are you here? What is it to you who I spend my time with? Because we share a daughter. Yes, and our daughter would be better off with her parents. Oh God, you’re gonna go, you’re gonna go down this road again. No, no, she wouldn’t be better off.

Because we’re awful together. We’re the Hindenburg of relationships, Kristen. Brady, we loved each other once. Yeah, in a very obsessive, destructive way, yeah. Why would you say that? We brought out the best in each other. Kristen, maybe, yeah, maybe, for about, maybe five minutes of that. I mean, I remember, I mean, I think you do too.

Or maybe you just don’t want to admit it. Hmm. Or you’re suppressing the memories. You and I used to be very dynamic. I don’t know if you remember, okay, yeah, yeah, I don’t care. I’ve heard all this before, right? Especially when we were alone in the bedroom. In the bedroom. Yeah. Kristen, stop. Let me remind you.

What the hell are you doing? What you want? What we both want. That’s not what I want. That’s not what I want. It’s the last thing I want, okay? What the hell is wrong with you?

What’s wrong with me? How can you say that, Brady? I kissed you because I was drawn to you. You’re a drunk. I’m out of here. You know, you know, Brady, that there’s an attraction between us. What I know is that you and I are a train wreck.

Oh, Brady, your mouth says no, but your lips say yes. It’s just a matter of time. Are you sure this is what you want? Yes. Yes, it is.

All right, then. I’ll go.

But I hope I’ll see you again. Sam. We’ll see. Oh. Oh. Oh my. Oh. Oh. My

heart is beating so fast. Oh. Oh. It is? Are you okay? Oh no, I’m more than okay. Oh, in fact, I think my heart can beat a little faster for a bit. Oh. What are you saying? Hmm. I’m saying that the good Dr. Johnson didn’t say anything about limiting our physical activity. But she didn’t, did she? Well, so how about, uh, say we Take this ticket around for a test run.

What do you say? Eagle. I thought the paperwork was all done. What are we waiting for? Oh no, Kayla’s filing it now. And then we can roll. Okay. Is that your mom again? Yeah. She has the car outside waiting. You ready? I am more than ready. Well, listen, first I want to say,

Mindy, I love you so, so much. And after what we went through together, my love only grew stronger. But we need to take our time. Make life altering decisions when we’re not about to die. Exactly. So, uh, one day at a time? Sounds good to me. We’ll get there. We will.

Regular or diet? Yes. Regular. You got it. Of course.

You see, now this This is simple, and easy. I really thought I had something simple and easy with Alex, but Seeing him with Kristen earlier really makes me wonder. Well, I wouldn’t go too hard on him yet. I am sure as soon as Kristen shows her true colors, um He’s gonna go running for the hills. Thanks.

Don’t mention it. Ready was here. It will work. Eye on the prize.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hi. Didn’t your mother teach you never keep a girl waiting? Six whole minutes. Next time be early. So just how many of these meetings are we going to need to have to get this little scheme to work? Uh, six. Sit. Yes, ma’am. We need to talk next moves. All right. So, our original plan was, you eat Teresa Occupied while Brady and I find our way back to each other.

But, since talking with them at John and Marlena’s was a total bust, and more importantly, you wimped out on Valentine’s Day, didn’t propose to Teresa like she thought you would, We, uh We need to explore other options. All right, do not put that all on me. First of all, Brady practically laughed in your face when you even brought up the idea of rekindling things with him.

So that’s not my fault. Okay, okay. No, it wasn’t your fault. But, uh, Teresa moving out of your apartment and into Brady’s That most certainly is. And, um, you know, maybe, uh, so you didn’t have to marry her. I mean, but you could have just strung her along for a little while. She overreacted, Kristen. She got needy and desperate.

And I’m not getting the whole big push for marriage, you know. I mean, it’s the 21st century, for God’s sake. There’s no stigma anymore for people just being together, having a fine time, you know? I I I I tried to make her understand that. No, you didn’t try hard enough. Oh, my God. Instead, you sent her running right into Brady’s arms to sob her widow eyes out.

Oh, my God, and now she is sleeping in the bedroom right next to his. Tissue? Pee brain at Grass Pile Con or productive that is. Look, Cruella, I’m not one of your little puppy catchers, so if you want my help with this, you better not talk down to me. Oh, I won’t talk down to you if you get serious about achieving our mutual goals.

I’m not screwing up every five minutes. Okay, first of all, you’ve done your fair share of screwing things up. And second of all, achieving our goal isn’t going to be a cakewalk. Brady and Teresa are all wrapped up in Tate’s drama, and get this, the kid got arrested again. Sneaking out of the halfway house to go see Holly.

Oh, God. Yeah. Another united effort to keep that little punk out of trouble, and, uh, that’s going to only make them inseparable. Damn it, Alex. Alright, we have to up our game.

And I think I know just how to do that. Okay, she’s done. Did she fight it? Not at all. No, I knew she was a goner when she started rubbing her cheeks. She’s very predictable, that one. Can’t help but wonder what you’re gonna be like during her teenage years when she’s sneaking out of the house with boys. Oh, well, our daughter’s not going anywhere with boys until she’s at least 27.

And even then, I’ll be with her, so Right. Oh, it’s so good being home. I just feel like I’ve missed so much. I mean, I can’t believe our little angel can move. Toy from one hand to another now. Oh yeah, she’s obviously very coordinated. She definitely is. When did she learn how to collab? Oh, she did that spontaneously when I told her her doll was coming home.

Oh, I see. Mm hmm. Hmm. You know, my mom really likes having her there. She told me that she would watch her any time. So, you know. Maybe once you’re all settled, we could plan another night alone. Hmm. Hmm. So, then when we pick our little girl up the next morning, we find her in Constantine’s arms again, I think.

I trust that slime ball as long as I can throw him. What happened in the past, partner? It happened because I lacked free will. Because Other people manipulated me into doing their bidding. Well, now I have free will and I’m exercising it. And if you care about me at all You’re gonna let me do what I need to do.

Poor John. I hear you. We hear you. As I said, I know Constantino’s never gonna forgive me. That is where you are wrong. I do forgive you, Joe. It is time to put this all behind us.

That means a lot to hear you say. But I can’t accept your forgiveness.

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

Believe me, I get it. I do. I’m not Constantine’s biggest fan either. Well, you’re a whole lot more tolerant of the man than I am. Well, that’s because my mom sees the good in him, so I’m trying to as well. And now. That the Horton house is destroyed and my mom has taken in Chad and the kids and Doug and Julie.

Constantine has been really helpful with all of that and when I was there he was really great with Thomas and Charlotte. He helped to make valentines for school and you know he was always telling them stories. I always had a laugh. I’m sorry Sarah but um, I still think he’s a con man. He’s taking advantage of your mom.

Yeah well we’re gonna have to agree to disagree on that.

From what I have seen and what my mom has said, he makes her really happy and so I’m grateful to the guy for that. And you’ve seen it too. You know that. You know that mom has been much calmer and happier since he came into her life. Yes, I suppose I have seen that. So maybe Constantine deserves a chance.

I need to go to Greece. I need to turn myself in. Let the authorities do a full investigation into the murder of your daughter and that Is my path to forgiveness.

John, I won’t stand beside you, whatever you decide. But can we just take it a day or two to think this through? I’m sorry, Doc, but this is the right thing to do and you know it. Hey, hey, come here. Listen to me, buddy. We can go to Greece together. Pay our respects. How does that sound? Huh? But to turn yourself in for a crime you’re not even sure you committed?

You can’t do that, John. I won’t let you do it. Oh,

God, I hate seeing Tate like that. I mean, he seems so upbeat, and then, when Ollie’s name got brought up, he I know, and he’s, he’s upset about their straining order. I mean, he’s gotta stay a hundred feet away from her, which I think is extreme, but It’s no surprise EJ’s driving his train now. You know, if they were to stay a million miles apart from each other, I really wouldn’t mind.

God, Brady, why can’t that girl just come clean and tell everybody that Tate did not give her the drugs? Lisa, you know why? Because she’s, she says she doesn’t remember what happened that night on New Year’s Eve. Well Let’s just hope that Sloane Peterson comes up with something to force EJ to drop the charges.

God, I don’t, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think our boy is going to be in that halfway house until, until the trial. No. Theresa, we just, we just have to hope for the best and hope to God, the, the, the hell is to it? So, well, it’s time for a new plan. What

the hell? Oops, I’m not really one for PDA, but I think I had too many mimosas. I mean, not to mention, um, Alex is just, I mean, so hot and you are a really good kisser. Ah, it’s really hard to resist. So what is this, just some sort of, like, random drunken old sloppy kiss? No, no, it’s not some random sloppy kiss.

Um, Alex and I, well, we’re seeing each other now. Oh. You gotta be kidding me. You didn’t know? No, I didn’t. Couldn’t care less, either. Alex, good luck. You’re going to need it. I’ll be fine. Thank you for your concern, though. Sure, man. I’m going to, um, go do some errands, but I’ll see you back at the house. Um, hey, babe.

Do you mind taking care of the check? I mean, I really need to, uh, speak with Rachel’s father. It’s really important. Of course. No problem. Yeah. Wow. Wow! I mean, we’ve barely broken up and you’re already in the arms of someone new and not just someone. The head case, who happens to be Brady’s ex wife. Alex, what the hell are you thinking?

Brady, wait. Kristen, you know, I don’t want to hear it. I don’t, I, I don’t want to hear what you have to say, alright? And if it’s important, then you can tell me over the phone, okay? Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hold on. What? You don’t care that I’m seeing Alex? Not in the slightest, no. You sure about that? Yeah. Oh, I know what’s going on.

You’re upset that I didn’t react the way you wanted me to, like, you, you wanted something like, really, this is making me jealous, I don’t like this, I thought, I thought I was the only guy in your life, you know, I thought I was the only, you’re not gonna get anything like that, okay? So screw around, have your fun, have a good time, it’s none of my business, all right?

I just hope when you’re done with your little boy toy, you haven’t scarred him for life.

You can’t stop me from doing this, you know that? And you can’t tell me that. I don’t know for sure if I did kill that girl or not. Well, for God’s sakes, all the evidence is pointing at me. There were four people in that room. You saw me holding the gun in the room with Ponsontein and that girl. But nobody saw you pull that trigger.

Nobody. Now, John, I understand that you feel compelled to do this. But listen to me. You have to think about what you’re giving up. John, searching for answers will take you away for who knows how long. From your family, from your friends, from everyone who loves you. John, maybe we could try hypnosis. No point, no point.

We tried that before and it didn’t work. We tried to recover other lost memories here, there is no other way.

No parent should ever have to bury their child. And I am the cause of that for this man here, so I’m gonna go to Greece. And I am gonna face what I did and pay the price.

You are going to regret your dismissiveness to me, Brady. Are you serious? The only thing I Do regret is not being dismissive. Yeah, I think you’re gonna want to know a lot more about my relationship with Alex I don’t need to know anything about that. I don’t care about it. Like I said, it’s none of my business He’s a playboy.

Have fun. Get your kicks. Yeah, and the thing is Brady is um, he is fun and he Certainly has a way with women, but he is also smart and Sophisticated and CEO of Titan something that you Always let slip through your finger. Ooh. Well, you know, he’s Victor’s biological son, so it’s nepotism at its finest. It was only a matter of time before Victor’s last minute era parent ran the company.

Hmm. Well, you’ve been related to Victor your whole life and couldn’t hold a job. Oh, well, you know, we’re not talking about you. We’re talking about Alex. Oh, come on. Oh, he’s successful and he’s rich and he’s got a wonderful sense of humor. Oh. Oh, and you add it all up. I mean, he’s got everything I want in a long term relationship and a step parent for Rachel.

Excuse me.

You know, Theresa, when you left the other day, on Valentine’s Day, I was pretty broken up. You just took off. No rhyme, no reason. No reason? Really? You were toying with me, Alex. You had an engagement ring in your possession and you chose not to propose to me. Oh my god, Teresa, call the proposal police? What? I wasn’t ready to get married yet.

Is that a crime? That doesn’t mean that I didn’t want to be with you. And I explained that to you and you blew up and you overreacted. Oh really? So this is my fault now? Look, you weren’t supposed to find the ring. Okay, and I’m sorry about that, but that’s in the past now. So I don’t understand why you would even care if I’m with Kristen.

Care? I don’t care. I don’t care. I just, uh, why Kristen DiMera? I mean, she’s, uh, a little low class, one thing, don’t you think? DiMeras are low class? I’m not talking about status or money, but she’s a hardened criminal, Alex. I mean, how many felonies does she have under her belt? I don’t know. I don’t know.

Theresa, I don’t really care. Because what, with, what Kristen and I have, that doesn’t matter. What you have?

How’d you first get together anyway? Well, when she and I were leaving John and Marlena’s place, we decided to grab a drink. One thing led to another. Okay, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don’t need to hear it. Okay. Theresa, I’m sorry. You had your chance, you know. I tried making things work with you, you ignored all my calls, you ignored all my texts.

So eventually I had to get the message loud and clear that it was time for me to cut my losses and move on. So I did.

Look, I’m sorry, Sarah, but I can’t just give Constantine another chance. It’s my gut. It’s telling me, don’t trust a bloke. Okay, so it’s visceral for you. Damn right it is. I mean, just be honest. What are you talking about? That grease ball is making my hair stand on end. Well, okay. Maybe you could just put aside the anger and distrust and just try to feel a little bit of empathy for him.

Xander, he tragically lost his daughter. And we, we know what that feels like. Because of losing Mickey and You know, when Victoria was taken from us by the Greek Mafia because of Constantine, Constantine was the one who rescued her. My God, Sander. Could you imagine if, if we hadn’t gotten Victoria back, I mean, we’ve already lost a child.

If something ever happened to Victoria, I, I couldn’t survive that. I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t survive that.

John, please slow down, okay? Think about this. You’re not the same man you were then. Of course you’re not. You don’t even have a memory of that man or of what Victor did to him. The conditioning, the training. That’s right. Victor used you, John. He used you as a weapon. Steve is right, John. I love Victor very much.

And I hate to speak ill of him. But what he did to you, and what he demanded of Steve It was wrong. It was so wrong. But I believe in my heart that Victor didn’t know a young woman would get killed.

My precious Victor, he was also a different man then, just like you are, John. So please, don’t throw your life away, the one you built for yourself and your family, over a mistake. That, that was beyond your control.

It was time to cut your losses and move on. Really? And you just chose to do it with someone like Kristen DiMera? You do know, you do know that she is actually transported here from some other galaxy, right? Oh. You do know that. And, and that it wasn’t too long ago when she was parading on the moon. All over Salem wearing that kooky mask of hers trying to steal the identity of half the residents of Salem.

And need I even remind you, do I even need to remind you of the fact that she stole my unborn child out of my body and she impregnated herself with taint and gave birth to him. Nobody’s perfect. Do not make jokes. Do not do that. Especially when it comes to someone like a sadistic maniac like Kristen DiMera.

Do not do that. Do you know why the mothership hasn’t returned to take her back to her planet? Do you know why? Because they don’t want her. Oh. They don’t want her there. Because she’s not only a sadistic maniac, Alex, she’s also crazier than a loon. Well, maybe I like having a little crazy in my life. Hell, I was with you.

And you may not be a sadistic maniac, Teresa, but you are not a saint. And you’d be the first one to say it, that you have done plenty of things that you regret. There’s a difference. I regret doing those things. Kristen doesn’t have any regrets. She has no conscience, Alex. She’s too egocentric and arrogant to even ever believe that she does anything wrong.

You’re getting pretty worked up over this. I am worked up over this. I think it’s horrible. I’m horrified that you a woman like her. I mean, I am, I am, look, look at me. I am genuinely worried about you. Well, you might want to genuinely get over it. Because, see, you slammed the door in my face. Kristen opened the door.

We get along great. She’s fun, she’s sexy, she’s smart as hell. But I’m excited to see where things are headed.

You’re joking, right? No, I don’t think so. You would never seriously consider Alex to be a, a stepfather to Rachel. Why wouldn’t I, Brady? I mean, he’s got tremendous potential as a long term partner and as a step parent. And, you know, I have to, I have to consider this when I’m out there in the dating world.

When I meet a man, I have to ask myself, is he good enough for Rachel as well as for me? Yeah, after all, I mean, single parent is a package deal, Brady. No, no, no, I don’t, I don’t get it. Okay, why in the hell would you ever think Alex would have tremendous potential? His relationships last five minutes, and he has zero experience with children.

No experience with kids at all, Kristen. Hey, hey, hey. You know what? I wouldn’t say that. I wouldn’t say that. I mean, he, he had, he grew up with younger brothers, whom he adores, and he, he loved spending time with Tate. He, he did, when he was with Teresa. He likes kids, he told me so, Brady. Has he met our daughter?

Do you have him hanging around our daughter? Is that what you’re doing, already? Brady, Well, this relationship is brand new. I mean, we are still in the honeymoon stage. And as a cautious mother, I, um, I would not introduce Rachel to my boyfriend until I knew it was a serious relationship. But, uh, I, um, I’m starting to have genuine feelings for Alex.

So he and Rachel could meet any day now. Hey.

I know. Obviously it was traumatic when Victoria was kidnapped. Albeit, it was a mercifully short time that she was missing. And thank God we got her back. And now she’s not only Fine and healthy and happy. She’s absolutely perfect in every way and I say that without a hint of bias. I’m really glad we’re doing this parenting thing together.

And that Victoria has such a brave and devoted daddy who loves her so much. I’d die for her. And you. I know you would. Which is why I am so happy that I gave our relationship a second chance. My third. You’re sweet, it was like a fourth chance. Yeah, but he’s kind.

You have proven yourself to be a kind and caring person. To me. To my mom, to everyone who counts, we gave you a chance and you completely came through. You totally redeemed yourself and you showed everyone the wonderful person you are. So maybe Constantine deserves a chance to prove himself too. Uh huh. I understand the point you’re making and it is a very positive, very generous point.

I’ve, of course, yes, I believe that we should all hope that everyone can change, and that it’s very important to give everyone the benefit of the doubt whenever possible, but Sarah is different with Constantine. How?

You’ve been awfully quiet through all this.

I have been listening, learning more about you. And now I know for certain, after witnessing the love your wife and your friends have for you, that you are no longer the man who killed my daughter. So, I have now decided, right here, right now, That it is time for me to let go of this hatred. This, this need for revenge.

That has tortured me for all these decades. I cannot go on living like this. Especially since I, I found that life has so much more to offer.

And the truth is, I brought this on myself, John, by challenging Victor’s omnipotent rule. It was my reckless behavior that had my daughter taken away from me.

And I am no longer that man that I was back in the day.

Neither are you.

So Now I, I, I must ask you this one favor.

Anything. Do not go back to Greece. Please.

Go home.

What do you say? Can we move past this as I am determined to do?

John? I know how conflicted you are about this Because of your big heart And your integrity But punishing yourself There’s nothing to be gained by that And there’s so much to lose

Alright, I’ll try to

move past this I’ll help you. We will do it together. Right now. Let’s just go home.

Come on, buddy. I’ll head out with you. Come on.

Oh.

It’s different with Constantine because, I mean, what apparently the man has spent his Entire life engaging in nefarious activities, and he’s still tied to the Greek mob, and Sarah, his sole purpose for coming to Salem in the first place was just to swindle Maggie out of the Kyriakos fortune. And you have proof of that.

As soon as I get myself out from under these bogus attempted murder charges, I will find the proof. Speaking of which, what’s the next step with that? I don’t know, I just Now I’m just hoping that Harris Michaels remembers who did shoot him so he can clear my name. Okay, and, and What if he doesn’t?

What do we do to prove your innocence?

You know, given your history, I don’t know if this thing with Kristen is even gonna last because you are a love him and leave him kind of guy, aren’t you? Only time will tell, but I’ll tell you this. I like everything I see so far. I do mean everything. You slept with her already? Hey, a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell.

Okay, you know what, Alex? You want to hook up with Kristen, you go, fine, do it, do it. Yeah? Thank you for your permission. Yeah. But when she comes blowing up your life, just like she blew up Brady’s life over and over and over and over again, don’t come crawling back to me. Theresa, I’m sorry if this is upsetting you right now.

This was not my intention. I didn’t expect for you to walk in and see Kristen and I kissing. That was very unexpected. And if I could do it all over right now, I would break this news to you in a different way. Whatever. And you know what? Don’t you worry about me. Alex, you moved on. Yeah, I get it. You moved on Go enjoy this little tryst with that creature from out of space Okay, but don’t be surprised when she sucks your brain up out of your head and she eats it for breakfast Okay I

don’t get it What’s to get you know, you know, you know damn well what i’m talking about You don’t even know alex You just met him for god’s sake so now you’re considering it Him as a, as a, as a stepfather figure to Rachel? You’re gonna have him hanging out with her? Oh, God, like I said, Brady, I’m having feelings for Alex now.

And, and I, look, Rachel needs a father figure in her life. I I am her father figure. I am her father. Yes. Yes. Yes, you are. But you’re not always around, Brady. I mean, you’ve got Tate to worry about, and there’s so much going on with him, and I need someone who’s going to be there all the time for Rachel and I.

Listen, listen, all right, number one, um, Alex doesn’t have a very good track record, uh, at being Reliable, okay? He is a shallow, flaky womanizer. You know that as well as I do. Number two, I know that I’ve made mistakes with Rachel. I have screwed up, and I’m trying to make up for that, okay? I want to get closer to her, but I can’t because you have full custody of her.

So the opportunities I have don’t come around. I can’t tuck her in at night, Kristen. I can’t, I can’t take her to the park. I can’t take her on a spontaneous trip if I want to, right? All you have to do is call. That’s bull, and you know it. Every single time that I want to spend some time with her, it’s not good for you.

It’s not a good time for you. It’s such a coincidence that when it works for me, it doesn’t work for you. You were depriving me of my daughter, Kristen, because I know what you’re doing. You don’t want me to get close to her. You don’t want me to have a bond with her. And the sickest thing about it is you’re making her believe that I’m to blame, that I’m the one that doesn’t want to spend time with her, that I don’t want to be close to her.

And you know, that’s the furthest thing from the truth, Kristen. I miss my girl. I miss her horribly and I want to be around her. Why don’t you tell her that? Why don’t you understand that?

Well, first Justin has to put together a rock solid defense that proves I was framed and all the evidence they have was planted against me. Rafe said that he found all the evidence a little too convenient. So I feel like we could probably get him on your side. Right, but we still have to give them evidence and like Rafe has never really cared for me.

I’m sure he’d jump at the chance to throw me in jail for any of my past crimes. And if we do go to trial, then any jury would convict me in a heartbeat once they bring up my history. So, no, I can’t count on the cops. It’s gonna have to be me who figures out who framed me. I’m gonna figure it out, Sarah.

For us. And for Victoria.

Maybe you’re right, Brady. Maybe I haven’t been open enough, uh, to you and Rachel spending more father daughter time together. So, you know what? Let’s set up a play date. How does that sound? Play date? Yeah. Yeah, that sounds great. Okay, I’ll take what I can get a play date. Just do me a favor, don’t bring Alex to the play date, okay?

Of course not. Alright, I’ll call you and we’ll um, we’ll set something up, alright? Talk soon.

Hello there, partner. How’d it go with Brady? He’s coming around. Once I brought Rachel into the conversation, he suddenly got very concerned about us dating and you being part of our daughter’s life. I’m not sure how I should feel about that. Well, what did he call you? He said that you were a flaky, shallow womanizer.

Yeah. Hmm. Well, Theresa’s not really a fan of yours either. And, um, yeah, that little kiss between us definitely raised her hackles. There is no doubt about it. She is Mighty jealous. Well, good. That’s how it’s supposed to be. You keep making her jealous, and you keep making her want more and more of what she can’t have.

And Alex, this time, don’t look things up.

I’m so proud of you. For what you did, it took tremendous courage. I don’t know about that. I only know it was time for forgiveness. Constantine, why didn’t you tell me it was John? John is the pawn who, who took your daughter’s life. Well, I, I didn’t want to tell you because I, I, I did not want to involve you.

I know how much you care for, for John Black and his wife, and I was afraid that it would hurt you if I gave you this knowledge. Well, it was shocking to me, I admit. But I want to apologize on Victor’s behalf for your daughter’s death. It’s very hard for me to reconcile. What I know Victor was capable of with the man that I knew and loved in his later years.

That is all in the past. I have you to thank for this change in my heart. I am a better man because of you. I think forgiveness was in your heart all along. But I’m curious about something. And what is that? When you first came here, you presented yourself as Victor’s dear friend. And from what I gather now, you and he were bitter rivals.

So, how can you explain that? Huh? It took years, but eventually we did become very good friends, even partners in some enterprises. As I explained to John and the others, my actions led to his actions, which means we were both at fault. But we both grew older and wiser. Yes, my enemy did become my friend. And for that, I thank God for so many reasons.

The most important reason is that it led me to you. I am so glad that is over. Yeah.

Now you can finally move past this, right buddy?

John, what’s wrong?

I’ve just been thinking about this more, and I know that, that, that both of you want me to move past this, but To continue on with my life as if it never happened, as if

I never took the life of that young woman. I can’t do it. I just know that the only thing that can give me peace of mind, if that’s even possible, is accepting the truth of what I did and paying the price.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, uh, so, um, I’m glad you were available when I texted. Yeah, well, my meeting isn’t for a while, so Okay, uh, well, I don’t want to take up too much of your time. I just want to go over some of the details for the christening reception tomorrow. Of course. So, um, ooh! How’s Jude? I just put him down for a nap.

Aw, do you mind if I Sneak a peek at him? Knock yourself out. Oh my goodness. Can’t believe how big he’s getting. Lower your voice just a little bit. He’s a really light sleeper. Uh, yeah. I’m sorry. Hi honey. I didn’t know you were here, Nicole. I’m sorry.

Oh, hey. I thought you were working from home today. Where are you off to? I’m not going to the office, Doc. Look, I did what you and Steve asked me to do. I thought about this all night long. And I didn’t change my mind about what I need to do. Well, I know that you want to apologize to Konstantin, but We both think he’s a dangerous man.

And, admitting something to him could put you in harm’s way. Admitting it isn’t gonna change what he believes. It may just, just, confirm it. And maybe that’ll give a little bit of closure. So I can’t change your mind? No, you can’t. Okay. May I go with you?

I appreciate that support, but I don’t think you’re going to support the rest of it. What is the rest of it? When I finish my conversation with Konstantin. I’m grabbing a flight to Greece and I’m gonna turn myself into the authorities.

Where’s my brother?

What the hell are you trying to pull here, Stefan? I’m not pulling anything. Stefan walked in on his own, said he was turning himself in for drug trafficking and money laundering on behalf of Clyde Weston. And then he asked for you. Wanting to cut a deal.

Ah, there he is, just in time. Hey, did you know that by doubling up knights or rooks or rook and queen or bishop and queen, the pieces actually get stronger than the sum total of the pieces by themselves? And that if one of those pieces loses its partner, its value slightly decreases? That is, of course, with the exception of the king.

What sort of game are you playing here, Stefan? I think it’s pretty obvious. We’re playing chess and the stakes are very high, brother We’re playing for my freedom for yours

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

Well Would you, uh, would you like one? Fresh out of the oven, I was told. Uh, not really much of a scone gal, but I am betting on Eric eating them. Oh, yeah, well, I mean, I just, I just picked them up, you know, when I was ordering the cake for the Christening reception. And, oh, Eric said that you prefer buttercream.

Uh, no, I don’t really care. It’s not as though Jude’s gonna be eating any of it, and he is the star of the show, as long as no one goes hungry. Well, my father in law is catering, so no one will. Eric also mentioned that you specified new clam chowder. So, is there anything else that you’d like the chef to supply?

By chance, did Eric ever mention anything to you about me not being fully on board with this? With what, the chef? With you having any involvement at all in my son’s christening. Oh, uh, I I I didn’t realize. Oh no, Nicole? You didn’t realize? Look, I know you came by at Christmas with your peace offering and this christening thing is Meant to be another one, and please believe me, okay?

I, I, I promise you that I, I dug deep looking for forgiveness for you kidnapping my son.

But the truth is, I haven’t found it. I don’t think I ever will.

No, no, please, please listen to me for a moment. John, who knows what the consequences might be if you turn yourself into the authorities of another country? Whatever the legal consequences are, I will face them. So you’ll just leave your family, your children, your grandchildren? Maybe forever? I was a killer.

No, you weren’t. Who’s to say I might not be one again? So, are you trying to protect your family here? Is that what’s happening? Why are you trying to punish yourself for something you might not even have done? Because I have always been afraid that I was capable of a heinous act like this. In fact, I think a part of me always knew I had.

I can’t do it anymore, Doug. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t wake up in the morning, I can’t eat my oatmeal and kiss my wife goodbye and go off to the office knowing who I am and what I’ve done. John, I don’t think you’re thinking rationally right now. No, no, no. Okay. Put yourself in my shoes. Come on, Doc. How do you move forward without dealing with the past and taking responsibility for it?

I know how you’re feeling. I did unconscionable things at a time when I was It wasn’t you! And this wasn’t you! It’s not the same! Of course it is. John, wait. I’ve waited long enough. I got him. Marlena? What’s happening? Steve, I

need your help. Ava,

hey. Stefan finally turned himself in. Oh, thank God. Yeah, I thought he skipped town. But listen, even though he turned himself in, it might not be smooth sailing. What do you mean?

I, uh, I can’t, I can’t talk about it here. Where can I meet you? My freedom.

What the hell are you talking about, Stefanie? You took all of my worldly assets. You signed them over to me willingly. In exchange for you giving me safe passage out of town. I believe I procured you a forged passport and a one way ticket out of Salem. But you didn’t show up. You were going to send me into a war zone.

You agreed that that was preferable to life and most likely death. Imprisoned for shooting a cop. And now you’re here, of your own accord. No mention of the attempted murder charges. You do know that Michaels knows you shot him. So why on earth would he entertain the idea of letting you plead to lesser charges?

Michaels has an agenda. Just like you have an agenda. Just like me. We all have our own agendas, EJ. Don’t we? Hmm. Well, agendas aside, since I am a DA, any deals have to go through me, and as I told you before, I’m not offering. Right. Because you don’t want to alienate your constituents. Hmm. And I I just can’t wait to get rid of you.

You may want to rethink your position on that. We’re

all set to depart, Stefan. I’ve secured your new passport and transportation out of Salem. Tomorrow morning, you’ll assume your new identity and be on your not so merry way.

So, EJ, what’s it going to be? You going to play ball? Or am I going to take this recording out there to Detective Michaels? Hey, maybe you and I can be cellmates. Uh,

fine, you know. If you don’t mind. Want me to host the reception, then I won’t. I just thought That Holly, after everything she’s been through, would want to be part of the festivities. And, and maybe it would be nice if Roman could actually sit and enjoy a family function for once. And you know what? Yeah.

Yeah, I thought it might help. To impress upon you how sorry I am that I took Jude from the from the square that day and I’m not trying to make excuses that I was dealing with depression, but I just would hope that you would understand now that you are a mother. That I was out of my mind with grief when I convinced myself that Jude was my son.

But Marlena helped me realize that my taking Jude, it was just because a part of me wanted to be closer to the baby I knew I would never have.

So with all that being said, Sloane, I, I, I understand if you, if you never forgive me.

That’s, um, that’s very good of you. But the thing is, Polly,

Polly looks at Eric as a dad and considers Jude like a little brother. And since we are going to be part of each other’s lives at some point soon, we are going to I have to figure out how to make this relationship work, and, and the truth is, Eric is an important part of Holly’s life, and consequently, he is an important part of mine, and I know that it’s probably something that you do not want to hear.

But I, what I, what I do want you to know is I love my husband so much, and I am thrilled that Eric has a wife and a baby who he adores, and who makes him happy.

I really do mean that.

Afternoon, Maggie. John, I wasn’t expecting you. I need to see, uh, Konstantin. Is he here? Listen, if you’re here to throw around more baseless accusations about his so called designs on my money, I am afraid I’m going to have to ask you to leave. No, that’s not why I’m here. Steve? Marlena? What’s going on? Doc, Steve’s not going to change my mind any more than you could.

Change your mind about what? Listen, John, let’s go outside for a minute, okay? What is going on here? What is he doing here? Konstantin?

I know that I can’t ask for your forgiveness, so I’m not even gonna try. But the least I can do is just tell you how profoundly sorry I am.

Hey, what’s, what’s going on? What’s wrong? Look, even though I floated this deal to Stefan to get you off the, the hook on these drug charges, EJ’s the DA, okay? And I was gonna sell him on the idea when he got to the PD. I figured it’d be a notch in his ballot to get Stefan’s testimony against Clyde. What did he object?

I don’t know. Stefan insisted on speaking to his brother one on one first. I just got a feeling whatever’s going on between these two, it could really complicate our plans.

Why is Harris even offering to Ah, I see. He thinks that you alone can take the fall for running drugs, saving your accomplice from the consequences of her own sinful deeds. Ava Vitale is a plague. If she were drowning, I would throw her a barbell. I have zero interest in lifting a finger to help her. Well, you have zero interest in lifting a finger to help me.

Like that. You don’t really have a choice now, do you?

I suppose letting you plead guilty to a lesser charge is not as egregious as offering you a deal for shooting an officer. You dropped the charges in exchange for my testimony against Weston. Everybody’s happy. Well, except Zander Cook. He’s being charged with a crime he did not commit, but who cares about him, right?

Well, I can’t have the charges completely dismissed, but what I could do possibly is offer you a sentencing deal. I can live with that.

Let me just be clear here. If I offer you this deal, You are not going to show Detective Michaels that recording. That’s right. You get to keep your precious job as D. A. We both go free. It’s a win win. So what’s the point of this little chess game? Well, you can’t guess.

The fortune you signed over to me. Uh, uh, uh, no, that is not the ghost of Volgamet. I did exactly as promised. You did not do exactly as you promised. You promised to give me safe passage out of Salem. I’m still here. That was your choice. TJ, it leaves the terms of our deal a bit murky, wouldn’t you say? So here’s what I’m proposing.

We play this game. You win. You keep everything. But if I win, I get it all back.

No. No, I’m not gonna play your stupid little game.

I appreciate the words, uh, Sloane. They’re not words. Look, EJ moved heaven and earth to help Holly recover. And I feel so incredibly lucky. And my God, I can’t even believe I’m able to say those words again after we lost our son. I’m really glad to hear that. Truly.

Well, I guess nap time’s over. Hey, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Oh, it’s okay. He’s been so fussy lately. Yeah, and we tried switching his formula, seeing if that helps. Did he be hungry? No, I fed him right before you got here. Hey. Um, uh, may I? Okay. Oh, my goodness. Oh, okay. You know what? Holly loves twinkle, twinkle.

Maybe you will too. Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky. Oh.

You’re so calm and collected now, aren’t you, Jude?

Thank you, Nicole. Teamwork.

So John, you came here to apologize for the way you treated Konstantin?

Yes, that. And, and you came here to stop him? No, no, we came here to stop me from confessing. Confessing? For what?

This is about Konstantin’s daughter, Katrina. I’m the one who took her life. I am the man who killed her.

What, you really think that Stefan is playing him? I mean, unless he wants to face capital charges, I don’t think he’d be foolish enough to turn down the best deal that he’s gonna get. Yeah, well, he’s definitely no fool. But, what if EJ’s not on board? Well, I mean, EJ did cover for Stefan about the bistro being a drug fraud.

Yeah, and he also refused to help us get out from under Clyde’s thumb. Look, at the end of the day, EJ’s just a son of a bitch who despises his brother and me even more. Look, look, look. If he refuses this deal, and he reports you, you could be in a world Love trouble. There could be charges brought against you.

You could lose your job. Look, I had to take that chance. I can’t lose you, Ava. You’re not after everything that we’ve been through.

We got it. I have absolutely nothing to gain from your silly little exercise. In other words, you’re afraid that I’ll win. No, no, no. I’m just not willing to waste all my time, that’s all. Come on, EJ. You know full well, as do I, fortunes have been won and lost playing poker, horseshoes. I cannot DiMera appropriate way to settle our disagreement than chess.

I mean, unless you want me to air my grievances about our agreement in an open court. Reveal our respective misdeeds.

With your cachet of misdeeds being quite a bit larger than mine. This month, maybe. But EJ, think about it. If you’re in prison, will you really be able to enjoy the spoils of my fortune? Come on, I’ll even let you be white. You’re not going to turn down the first move, are you?

I’ll agree to take another look at the deal. If I lose. Which I won’t.

I’m, uh, so sorry about that earlier. Oh, don’t worry about it. Uh, oh! Your new business. Is it going well? Yeah, pretty well. Great. Um, you know, I have to say, I am, I envy you both. I do. I mean, working full time and not having Jude in a daycare center or hiring a nanny. I do enjoy spending as much time with him as I can.

Yeah, Eric’s a great dad. Oh, I, uh, I was out in my morning jog and I, uh, I ran into Holly. It’s great to see her out and about. Yeah, she’s getting stronger every day. She’s resilient, that one. Is she starting to remember anything more about what happened to her on New Year’s Eve? No. She isn’t, and I really don’t know what else she could remember.

She doesn’t know how the drug slipped into her drink. Hmm. Anyway, I, I, I know that, that Brady believes Tate’s story, that the drugs were Holly’s and, and I admit, I had my doubts for a moment but then she woke up and she denied it and, and she would never lie, especially if it jeopardized Tate’s freedom and, and she cares so much about him and, unfortunately.

Unfortunately. Yeah, it’s just that EJ and I don’t think they’re good for each other, and it’s a toxic relationship. Come on, Nicole. I mean, Holly and Tate, they’re just, they’re young. What, you think the jury’s out whether they’re good enough for each other? There’s no jury out on that. And I am Holly’s mother.

And I think I know a thing or two about relationships, and if they aren’t meant to be, they’re meant to be.

But how can this be? Victor sent John to My God. Listen. There’s blood on my hands, too. I was working for Victor at the time. I was the pawn’s handler. I might have been able to do something to stop things from going so terribly wrong. Don’t do this, partner. Come on, you know damn well No one’s to blame but me.

I shot that young woman. Me. John, if no one witnessed it, are you sure? No, he’s not. There was no one else in the room. It was me. It’s a very moving plea, Mr. Johnson. But what he said is the incontrovertible truth. It was he who killed my daughter. Of that I have no doubt in my mind. None at all.

Me. You know, I have to admit that, after you found out about me and Stefan, I wasn’t sure that you were gonna feel the same way about me. I mean, we’ve both done things that we’re not proud of. And I know that your relationship with Stefan was a cover to protect me. Yeah. But you tried to warn me, and I was just being stupid.

But I want you to know, Harris, what happened between me and Stefan, it was one time, and it meant nothing. I know. I mean, I guess the only thing I’m worried about is whether or not there’s more information that I’m not getting that could blow this deal. Okay, well, not that I’m aware of. Now, granted, Stefan and I were not friends, but I mean, if it doesn’t interfere with his own interests, I, I just don’t think he’s going to go out of his way to screw me over.

But EJ, on the other hand, if there is a wild card we need to worry about, it’s him.

I’m afraid your queen is in dire straits, what with all your pawns off the board. And where are those pesky rooks? On holiday?

All right, how about we make it a serious best of three, huh? Let me think about that. Oh, no, check. You know, just the other day I was thinking that, uh, I’ll never be able to play chess with my brothers again, and that made me unaccountably sad. But it’s so Satisfying, isn’t it? To trounce the people we’re in conflict with.

Except I’m not really doing the trouncing here, am I? I really am.

But, truth be told, I wasn’t ready to be out of the DiMera family fold. I love being a DiMera. Something you and I have in common.

Well done. Learned that one from Chad. There’s always been a hell of a lot more ruthless in sport than in life. As opposed to you and I. Two ruthless sons of bitches. In any context. And speaking of ruthless,

Check. Damn it, I didn’t see that move coming. Oh. Don’t tell me you underestimated me, brother. Again.

I don’t see another move.

Mate.

Nicole, you know I asked Brady to be Jude’s godfather. So if it’s going to be an uncomfortable situation with Tate Look, Brady and I, we’re good friends. You know, we’ll, we’ll work it out. Besides, I wouldn’t miss the christening for anything. And really, like I said before, I really envy you both. You know, I’m not a very religious person, but I do wish EJ and I were able to.

Baptize our, our son before he, um Nicole, I know your little boy. He’s with God. Yeah. I believe he is too.

I’m, so sorry. I, I didn’t mean to bring the mood down. I promise tomorrow will be nothing but positive good vibes. Yeah. Yes, Nicole. And, uh, thank you. Thank you for everything. Of course, I will see you at the reception. Yeah. Sounds good. Those are for you.

As a father myself, my heart’s breaking for you. And I can’t even I can’t imagine the pain that you have suffered all these years. That is right. You cannot imagine the pain I have suffered all these years. Because you did not know, my beautiful daughter. You did not know, her gentle soul. That she was the light of this world.

Konstantin,

I have no doubt. That your daughter was a wonderful woman. And the loss of her was devastating. What I want you to know is that my husband, John, the man he is now, is also a light in the world. The man I am now.

I’m sorry, Doc, but I don’t even know who that man is. All I know is what I have to do. John. And I’m gonna get a car to the airport. There’s a red eyes that happens and once those wheels touch down I’m gonna turn myself over to the authorities for the crime that I committed john and no one’s gonna start I should get back to the station and see what’s going on.

Look, um Harris if things don’t work out Look, I just I want you to know I know that you tried your best And I appreciate what you’ve done for me more than you know. Hey, i’m not i’m not giving up yet

I’ll see you soon.

Okay then, Bobby Fisher, you’ve won the game. But your victory is meaningless, since I still have your very elegant John Hancock in black and white. Well, ask yourself this, E. J. A few million more a year? Or your freedom. And look, hey, I’m more than happy to let you keep the rules if that’s what you want. The details of who gets what will wait until you’re out of lockup and you can provide the DA’s office with the necessary evidence against Clyde.

Then the judge will agree to time served. Best I can do. Don’t

want this ending up in the wrong hands when I finally get arrested, do you? You got a deal?

Deal.

Okay, the deal is done. He’s all yours. My brother will sign his confession. After he’s booked. I can take it from here. Okay. I’ll be seeing you in due time.

Stefan DiMera, placing you under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court of law. You have the right to an attorney. I can’t afford one. One will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights as I’ve just read them?

Hey. I know you wish it wasn’t Nicole who was hosting the christening party, but No, it’s okay. I’m actually, I’m good about everything now. Well, if you’re good, then, well, I’m good.

Hey, I just, I just want you to know that coming home to you, to our son, is, well, it makes me happier than I ever thought possible.

Really? Really.

EJ. Hi. Hi. Is everything okay? Did you ever end up tracking down Stefan? Yes. Yes. I, I, I did. Okay. You must be Relieved? What happened to him? Oh, it was, it was all just a misunderstanding, but we got it all squared away. You know how the saying goes, all’s well that ends well.

John, you can’t do this. Hey,

you know what happened in the past? Happened because I lacked free will. Because others Manipulated me to do their bidding. Well, now I have free will and I’m gonna exercise it. And if you care about me, partner, you’re gonna let me do what I need to do now, okay? John. I hear you. We hear you. And like I said, Konstantin is never gonna forgive me here, so That is where you are wrong.

I do forgive you, John

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Thank you both. Thank you both for taking me in.

Yeah, well, even though it was a little weird remembering us overall, you were a great house guest.

Well, now that I remember you both, thank you for being incredibly kind of hosts.

Well, you made it easy.

Sure. That And even though we’re happy you’re moving back in with your wonderful wife, we’re gonna miss you.

Ah, speaking of your wonderful wife, we need to get to the hospital because I need to discharge her.

Okay, you two better get going.

Uh, I’ll take everything over to your apartment, we’ll meet up there. Just, uh, grab a box on your way out and put it in my car, will you?

Alright, we’ll see you.

Alright. You ready, my friend?

Yes, yes. Do it. Thank you.

Thank you both very, very much.

Go, go, go. See you at your apartment.

Yes, yes, yes, at my House. That’s great. That’s great. Okay. I got it. I got it.

Hey. Well, look at you. Somebody is anxious to get home. You think? And you look just beautiful. Really? Mm hmm. Makeup okay here? Yes, perfect. Okay, now you just relax and savor this miraculous second chance at life that you’ve been given. Oh, I am doing that, my darling. Oh, I’m just, I’m just sorry for what I put all of you through before I got this miraculous second chance.

All that worry. Okay, no need to apologize. Okay? And all that worrying is behind us now, thank God. You just promise me that you won’t do it again, okay? Okay. Cross my healthy heart. Alright, I’m gonna hold you to it. Oh man, you really do have guardian angels looking out for you. Abraham has someone taking care of him too.

Okay, I know that look. What aren’t you telling me? It just amazes me how our universe works sometimes. Soon, as we think our lives on this plane of existence might be over, turns out the exact opposite is true. Looking

for someone? Matter of fact, I am. Rafe. Is he around? No, he isn’t. But you know that. He went to Statesville. Trying to figure out how the hell Clyde Weston escaped. That’s the million dollar question, right? And aren’t you supposed to be at home? Recuperating? You know, taking it slow. Yeah, well, with that monster on the loose, sitting at home is driving me up a wall.

I get that. Or I would get that. But the problem is, you haven’t been sitting at home.

Escape from Alcatraz Part 2. No, that’s too generic. Escape from Alcatraz the sequel. Hmm. Is Clyde Weston’s Escape from Statesville the new Escape from Alcatraz? Yeah. Beware, citizens of Salem. Clyde Weston’s escape from Statesville rocks the country. Will he ever be caught? Oh. Oh, let’s see. Corruption. Money laundering scandal rocks City Hall.

Millions embezzled. No. Ah, caught. Mystery bluesy seen slipping out of the bistro with the governor.

Hey, Leo, you’re up bright and early. Chadwick, I couldn’t sleep. Not that I didn’t try, and try, and try again. But rather than fight insomnia’s relentless tide, I thought I would come here and get a head start on Lady Whistleblower’s latest column. You I was thinking of running a story on the governor’s latest inflagrante delicto.

That, or covering the crazy prison break with the mysterious unknown accomplices. So you’re joking, right? You’re not seriously going to give oxygen to that bastard, are you? Well, I mean, it’s a pretty newsworthy story, no? Leo, the, the person who escaped prison, Clyde Weston, is also the person who brutally murdered my wife.

The love of my life. The mother of my children. Yeah? Now those children had to be taken out of school because all of their friends keep talking about the bad man who escaped. And now they’re scared out of their minds. That make sense? Chadwick, I That was so callous and insensitive. I am so sorry. I know this must be a very difficult day for you and your family.

Yeah, it’s more than difficult, Leo. You know, they, um My kids and I, we’re, we’re, we’re still grieving. We’re probably always going to grieve. But the, the image of finding my wife that way, in bed, is going to haunt me forever. So yeah, so the idea of this monster roaming free. So the only thing that, uh, that I can pray for is that, uh, that they catch him before he kills someone else.

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

Chadwick, again, I am so sorry that I even brought up the prison break. I know that the mere mention of Clyde Weston’s name is painful and I just mentioned his name! Leo, it’s fine. It’s all good. Um, there is something that you can do. That doesn’t involve the prison break. Name it. Okay. Okay, well, uh, since Everett is out on personal issues, and because you did such an amazing job with the MLK Day piece and the piece about the Wharton House, I was, uh, hoping that you could take your lady whistleblower hat off and do some real reporting.

Are you kidding? I will take off her itchy feather boa, too. Uh, okay. Um, I’m sure you’ve heard that the mayor’s being released from the hospital. Uh, I had heard that, yes. But just so you know, Mayor Price is not exactly the president of my fan club. Nor is she a member, truth be told. Yeah, I vaguely remember something about, uh, her firing your ass.

Yes, for slipping secrets. But, you know what? That happened a million years ago. She has probably forgotten about it, which is why I will cover her release, along with what is being called her miracle recovery, and I will do so with confidence and panache. All right, but we’ll tone down the panache just a little bit.

Yeah. Yeah, it’ll be like mostly confidence. Just a soup. So I’m panache And thank you chadwick for having faith in me I promise you I will not let you down I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since we lost you And it seems like yesterday we were together Happy raising thomas and charlotte

I was thinking about having a new baby.

I think about it all the time.

We would have been successful. We would have had a boy, a girl. We would have been crazed. Trying to juggle two kids and a newborn baby.

Loved every minute of it though.

What did you forget? Stefan. What are you doing here? I, um, was passing by, and I saw your car. So I thought, I am gonna go in there and have a drink with my brother. Stefan, it’s 8 o’clock in the morning, man. Ah, now what’s that saying? It’s, it’s, um, it’s always five, hap, happy hour somewhere? Hmm. So what’s it gonna be?

Rocks? Or straight from the bottle?

So, you were, you were checking on me? Actually, yes, I was. Look, I just got off the late shift, so I decided to pop in and to see if you were okay. As a colleague and a friend. Well, thank you. Um, I’m good. Harris, you’re still convalescing. You checked yourself out early against medical advice from the hospital.

That doesn’t seem like a very wise decision to me. So, what, what exactly was your plan? Adding, uh, espionage to your resume? Look, I knocked on your door a few times. You didn’t answer, and I just You know, I just kept picturing you passed out on the floor. And Roman and Katie had just got back from visiting Abe and Paulina.

Well So I told him what was going on. And Roman let you in my room? Well, he said he hadn’t seen you around the pub either. So yes, Roman wanted to check on you too. Okay, and call me sentimental, but I was pretty stoked when I saw that you weren’t dead on the floor. But it was weird, because it looked like you hadn’t been there at all.

Incoming. Best place to put this? Uh, you can just roam right there. Should’ve rented a forklift for the boxes. Yeah, well, we didn’t realize just how much of Ed’s stuff was at our place. So, how are things shaping up here? Ah, well, with Paulina being out the last few weeks, the fridge was a bit of a dumpster fire.

So I just, uh, tossed out everything that was expired and replaced it. Well, you sure do know the way to your mother in law’s heart, don’t you? Yeah. Which, by the way, I do. Is going to be studied in medical journals till the end of time, apparently. Kayla said that Pauline’s miraculous recovery blew all the doctors away.

They had, they’d never seen anything like that. I know. I know, man. I mean, and speaking of amazing things that happened last night, Abe’s amnesia? Gone. How about that? Gone. I mean, I, I, I, I really, I, I don’t know how, I don’t know, but Whatever the reason, however it happened, I’m just I don’t know. I’m just happy they’re back to their old selves.

Amen to that. Hey, man. I got some more boxes in the car. Would you help me get those? Let’s do it. Well, My beautiful wife. Mm, Abraham Carver, what took you so long? I had to tie up some loose ends. Okay, well thank goodness you’re here now, because Mama was about to run out of here on her own. Oh, I think a few of my nurses might have tackled you if you tried.

Oh, wouldn’t want that. Now, listen, I’m sure you could run out of here on your own, and you’re so fine. Full of energy now and healthy, but we have a hospital policy that everybody has to go out in a wheelchair, okay? Fine with me. Whatever it takes to get out of this hospital. No offense. I take it. Well, right now, how many patients are going to have the chief of staff deliver a wheelchair for you?

But, don’t you forget, I am the mayor. Well, more importantly, you are a good friend, Paulina. Oh, I love you, Kayla. And I’m beyond grateful for all the wonderful care, you know, that I got here, but I can’t wait to get out of this place. Come on, husband, please, take me home. I’ll get to you straight there. That’s gonna make me a very happy wife.

You

got any highballs over there? That stuff’s imported from Minsk. Hate to waste it on a Dixie cup. Tomato juice. Tomato juice, too, considering the time of day. I think Bloody Mary’s would be the best choice, don’t you think? Yeah, no, we don’t have any highballs, Stefan. And, uh, there’s no tomato juice. And I’m not going to drink with you, and I’m not going to I’m not going to enable whatever it is you’re doing.

To yourself, so You want to tell me what’s really going on?

You ever, uh, you ever have any regrets? Chad, of course. Yeah. We all do. I mean, deep regrets. Regrets that she, which your soul,

is that why you’re here to talk about deep regrets.

Maybe I am. Yeah. Okay,

last couple of boxes. Okay. Oh, this is family mementos. Betcha Abe’s gonna be eager to get into that one. Hey, uh, speaking of family, you and Grandpa John finding Tripp and Wendy, must have been a relief, right? Yes. We’re just so thankful we found them in time. And uh, Clyde Weston, he was behind the kidnapping, and then, and then he just, he escapes from prison?

Yeah. I suppose he had any help? Well, stands to reason. Yeah. That was a warm place in hell for whoever that was, right? Yeah, yeah. Listen, uh, we better get this place together. Uh, Abe and Paulina will be here any minute. Uh, how’s the kitchen looking? Uh, good. I, uh, I got a bunch of groceries. You know, fruit, cereal, canned goods.

I, although I, I haven’t put them away yet. Oh, well how about you take care of that now, and I’ll Maybe I’ll get to the balloons. Sure, sure thing. Right. Alright.

Madam Mayor, Madam Mayor, is it true that you were scheduled for a heart transplant and then flatlined before being resuscitated by your husband? Yes, yes, and no. Do you think you could give her some space, please? Our sources say that even the medical team doesn’t know how you were brought back from the brink of death, Mayor Prescott.

It was some kind of miracle. Is that true? We appreciate your concern. And all your questions will be answered in due time. But right now, we’re going home. Mr. Carver, is it true that you were there? All we’re looking for are the facts. Inquiring minds want to know what brought our glorious mayor back from the precipice.

And how do you respond, Mayor Price, to even seasoned medical professionals calling your recovery an actual miracle? Dr. Johnson, would you care to weigh in on the rumors? I don’t make comments about my patients cases. But I will say we are thrilled with Mayor Price’s speedy and thorough recovery. Dr.

Johnson. No more questions. Thank you. Well, you’re a doctor. Surely you must have something to Mayor Price, what about the chaos that’s been plaguing Salem? In the last 48 hours alone, there’s been a prison break, a kidnapping. The Deputy Mayor has done a brilliant job of handling all of those issues, as has the Police Commissioner.

And now I’d like to express my profound gratitude for the love and prayers, uh, that I’ve That we’ve received, which has greatly contributed to my healing. Madam Mayor. Leo, you’ve heard my statement. Now we’re done here. We’re going home. Just one last question, Madam Mayor, would you Excuse us. Go ahead. It’s over.

We’re done.

Not for me it’s not. A promise is a promise. Why don’t you just come clean and tell me where you’ve been, Harris? Yeah,

I’m pretty sure that this was not what the doctor meant when he said bed rest. No, this is exactly what the doctor ordered. Well,

you tell me what you think you know. Okay, I know you have not been back to your place since you left the hospital. Or maybe I’m just a neat freak. I’m serious, Harris. You shouldn’t be walking out on the street by yourself alone. But you haven’t been alone, have you? Alright, if you want to take a guess as to where I’ve been, go for it.

You’re right, Ava’s. Yeah, not that it’s any of your business, but yes, I have been. I didn’t think it would be a good idea for me to be alone. You could have hired a nurse. On a cop salary? I mean, Ava offered up her place, I took her up on it, she’s been taking good care of me. Do you have a problem with that?

You know I do. With her, and with you.

Look, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. I’m sorry. About what went down between me and Abigail. And, uh, I don’t know,

I can’t remember if I ever apologized to you for that or if I apologized enough. And so what I want, what I need to say to you,

You didn’t deserve that.

You linted Abby.

She was a beautiful soul who So kind, smart, heart of gold. And me,

was a selfish, arrogant, bastard.

Look, Abby and I, we, um,

We threw all that together because we loved each other.

We were meant for each other. I don’t know.

And now, the son of a bitch who took her life is on the streets and I can’t imagine how that makes you feel.

I need you to know,

I had nothing to do with Weston escaping, nothing at all. Wait a minute, why would I think that you had anything to do with Clyde escaping? Stefan,

answer me.

Look, Chad, I, uh,

I don’t know who’s responsible for Weston escaping, but like I said, I, I can’t imagine how you must feel knowing that, that monster’s on the streets.

And I know things haven’t always been great. Between us, but uh,

I love you, man.

Well, you know what, why don’t, um, Why don’t we, uh, finish this conversation another time, yeah? Why don’t you, uh, sober up, get your head on straight. No, no, no, I am sobering up as we speak. I have to, you know, face the music. What does that mean, face the music? You know, you gotta, uh, You gotta figure out all the right moves, you know?

Chess moves. Okay,

uh, what do you think? I mean, I don’t know anything about flowers, but I think they look really nice. I mean, matter of fact, I think this whole spread came together really well, don’t you? Sorry, what was that? Oh, nothing. I was just, uh, you know, admiring our handiwork. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Hey, it looks good. Looks good.

You know, if you ever have a falling out with your family, you could start a catering business. Well, you know what? With my family, it might not be a bad idea to have a contingency plan. There you go. All right. Oh!

Because I don’t want to have this discussion in front of the rest of the crew. I don’t want to have it at all. Well, too bad. See, I am not only your colleague, I am your friend. Okay, and I am not just going to stand around while you throw away your career on a woman. Okay, the woman has a name. Right, Ava Vitale.

Ava Vitale. Not only is she the daughter of a mob boss, but she has a history of multiple crimes. That she has not been convicted of. Only because she got a plea deal to go to Bayview. Okay, alright, so Ava’s past is far from clean, but whose is? Okay, not mine, is yours? Seriously, is it? Oh, so we’re flipping the script now.

Even though you know very well that I am coming at you at a true place of concern. For your health! For your career, for God’s sake. Jada, I, I do appreciate your concern. Okay, but I know what I’m getting into. And whatever it is, whatever the challenge is, I’m ready for it. Because I know underneath it all, Ava is a good and decent woman.

Right, right. A good and decent woman. Who is a suspect in a drug investigation. So, this whole affair, or whatever you, you know, Want to call it this flies right in the face of our code of conduct if anybody knows about ignoring code of conduct Jada, it’s you

There you go flipping the script again, okay, it’s not flipping the script It’s just you and me discussing the code of conduct for cops and you don’t you don’t see the hypocrisy and you going after me about that Okay in regards to the hypocrisy that you’re accusing me of I Arrested my own sister I put the law above my personal loyalties, and the closest I’ve been to bending the rules was when I kept Theresa Donovan from going to jail when she was high.

So yeah, I bended the rules, but Harris, you are breaking them. Okay, you made your point. Have I? Look, please don’t sacrifice yourself, Harris. All the hard work you put in, all the dues you paid, You know, maybe it’s time for Ava to finally pay her dues, and for you to stop protecting her.

Excuse me. Steve? Hey, baby. Hey. Nice celebration, huh? Well, yeah, it is, but you look like you just lost your best friend. No, come on. I think it’s just fatigue. That rescuing trip with Wendy was, uh, took a lot out of me. I know. Physically and emotionally. I know, but I just feel like it’s It’s something else.

Nothing else, sweetness. Really. Really. Oh, okay.

Floral delivery for the most dynamic woman in all of Salem, our fearless leader Mayor Price. Leo Stuck. I just need a quick interview, Madam Mayor. Please, and this is not for that gossipy old yenta lady whistleblower. No, no, no. This is for a feature article. Front page of The Spectator. And might I add, you are looking especially beautiful today, and you are off the charts.

Charming and charismatic, and thank God, you have healed from all that was ailing you, because you are a true treasure. And we are so eternally grateful to you for your dedicated leadership. Okay, okay, okay, Leo. I’ll give you ten minutes. He’s a heck of a writer, you know, even if he was a lousy assistant. Oh, assisting was not my strong suit.

Oh, no, that piece you did on the hoard in the house, that was very, very moving, Leo. And the one on MLK Day, even more impressive. Well, thank you, Madam Mayor. Okay, so, you’re here. Let’s start the interview. Well, before I do, I just want to say, having heard of your recent miraculous recovery, your heart virtually healing itself, I was absolutely verklempt.

I was elated because you are a treasure. And we are so lucky to have you inspire us to, to dream more, to learn more, to do more, and to become more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That, that is a quote attributable to the great John Quincy Adams, who in his battle against slavery redeemed himself in the eyes of history for his failure as president.

Uh, okay. Although not that you need any redemption at all, Madam Mayor, you are the real deal, and I stand here in awe of your brilliance. Okay, Leo, take it down a notch. Oh, yeah, okay. Uh, you are very cool, bee’s knees, cat’s meow. Mm hmm. Better.

What are you talking about, Stefan? What’s chess moves? Chess, man. You know, it’s a metaphor for life. When things don’t go your way, when you have unforeseen challenges, you, you, you need a, uh, a fallback plan, alternate strategies.

Thank you for listening. Yeah. Yeah. You’re good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No talking to you. It’s, it’s giving me some clarity. So thank you. Oh, I don’t think I did anything, but glad it helped make me proud. You know that. The good DiMera. Really, watching you, it, uh, inspires me to be a better man myself. I, I think you’re giving me too much credit, but yeah, I’m okay with, uh, with inspiring someone to be, uh, uh, better, yeah.

Uh, I inspire to that myself.

Take care, bro. Yeah.

Um, yeah. Uh, YouTube. I don’t know. Are you sure you’re good to drive? Yeah, yeah, I’m sobered up, clear headed. As clear headed as I can be, at least. Besides, I walked here so I can just walk back. But, um, thank you for being there for me, really. Being you.

Bubbly for all. One, one little drink would be okay, right? I think a splash would be okay. We just don’t want any alcohol to impede your healing, but your numbers are so remarkable. Which is amazing and wonderful news. And Dr. Johnstein, I know you said at the hospital no comment, but perhaps now? Oh, well, come on, Leo.

Don’t put her on the spot. No, no, it’s fine. You know what? I will say is that Paulina’s astounding recovery is something that we have never seen before. People have been calling that miraculous. Is that a fair characterization? Oh, it was definitely a miracle. Truly one born of faith and love. And a lifetime of good karma.

Amen. Oh, the way I see it, a miracle is a seven letter word. Like, um, Mystery. Victory. Fortune. Believe. Bottom line, I got a second chance. And I plan to make the most of it. I got a victory because of this mysterious miracle. And with the aforementioned love and faith, I believe. We could overcome any to the amazing and formidable Paulina Price, who I am lucky enough to call my mother in law and I am blessed enough to call my wonderful and loving mother.

And I am so proud of that. You’re my wife. And my own personal mirror. We love you, Paulina. Love you, Paulina. Yes, we do. Um, does anybody have a tissue?

Oh, thank you, Chanel. And Mayor Price, may I just say that it is such an honor to be in your presence for this important occasion, to feel the love and respect that surrounds you. And I know I am normally the comic relief that is my M. O. to make people laugh, but for now, I will backburner my amazing sense of humor to say in earnest that you are not only a brilliant mayor, but you are a gem of a human being.

Hey, Leo, you know when you put that, uh, sense of humor on the back burner, you’re actually kind of a sweet guy. Oh, well, thank you, Chanel. But to direct the attention back to the person we are here to honor, you are a hero, Mayor Price. Yes, you are. Yes, you are. And Our light. I

miss you.

Okay, I gotta get back to work.

Murderer. Drug lord Clyde Weston escapes from prison. I

worked so hard to purge that son of a bitch from my brain, and I

hope he rots in hell.

At least think about what I said. Okay, how about we just table this discussion for now and get back to work? Meaning you are not going to think about what I said. We gotta make a call.

Stephan DiMera. Wow, there he is, the man himself. Thought you skipped town. I look like I’m on the run. I’m here to turn myself in. For drug trafficking and money laundering. Clyde Weston made me push drugs through the bistro. And then, launder his dirty money, blood money. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth.

You mean Clyde Weston made you and Ava Vitale move drugs to the Bistro? No, no. I acted alone. And when Ava found out what I was up to, I ordered her to keep her mouth shut. Or consequences would be dire. So Ava had no part in any of this? The illegal stuff? None whatsoever.

So, wanna get my brother, the DA, on the phone? I’m ready to cut a deal.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Teresa. Hey. Hi, there you are. I wasn’t sure you’d be up for meeting so early. Yeah, well, exercising is really the only way I can clear my head these days, and if I don’t do it early, well, I, I won’t do it at all. Hi, little Jude. Oh, God, he’s so cute. Makes me think so fondly of when Tate was little. Yeah, I know parenting a teenager can be challenging.

Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. Wait till you hear the latest.

Come on, sweetheart. Everything is okay. Your grandma loves you so much.

Morning.

Oh, did Victoria wake you? Oh, no, no, no. I was up anyway. Well, our little Victoria is, uh, not a happy camper this morning, and she’s letting all of us know it, aren’t you, darling? I remember when Katharina was our age, I tried everything in the world to get her to stop crying. Any suggestions? Well, walking around the room and singing to her might help, it usually does.

Might I try that with Victoria? Mmm,

something smells good. Yes, it’s steel cut oatmeal with a homemade blueberry compote. You do know the way to a man’s heart. Good morning. Good morning. Again. Again.

Last night was perfect. Staying here, at home, with you. You mean you don’t miss your super cozy jail bed or the sound of snoring cellmates? No. I don’t miss that at all. Nor do I miss being awakened at 5. 30am by some nasty guard shining a flashlight in my face saying, Open Adam! Well, I do hope you can manage getting used to being awakened by a kiss.

I can definitely get used to that. I was thinking maybe I could get used to going back to bed with the woman I love. That is, if those delicious breakfasts could be reheated. Oh, yeah. Breakfast. Yeah. No, your idea is better.

Husband.

Wife. Good morning. It is, isn’t it?

Where the hell are you, Stefan? The car’s waiting, the flight’s in an hour. Dammit, if you screw this up, just get here now, Stefan. What is going on with your brother and Val?

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

My brother, Stefan, is being infuriatingly elusive. He’s not answering my calls. He’s not responding to my texts. Well, I mean, it is awfully early. Maybe he’s asleep. Yes, but he knows it’s urgent family business overseas, so he should have set his damned alarm. Okay. Well, is there anything I can do? You just being here is all I need.

Okay. Okay. Okay. It’s all I ever need. Good morning. Hi, honey. Oh, you’re beautiful. It’s kind of early for you to be up, isn’t it? Yeah, well, I couldn’t sleep. Thanks to you. Holly, look, EJ was just Nope! Mom, enough making excuses for him. Tell me, EJ, why did you have to be so cruel? Why did you have to have Tate arrested?

So, um, Tate, he’s back at the halfway house? Yeah. And there’s a restraining order against him so now he can’t go anywhere near Holly Jonas.

You know, it’s got me thinking though. About what?

I think it’s for the best. And I know they’re still young, but, you know, maybe they’re just not really good for each other. Like how Brady and I weren’t good for each other back in the day. Well, there was a lot of love between you two in the beginning. True. And we did make a really good kid together. Even if he does make some poor choices.

Okay. Okay, I’m sorry, I think that’s my cue. Hey, I know things are stressful right now, but Tate is a great kid. And like you said, I think he’s gonna come out of this stronger and wiser. All right. Yeah, I hope so. We’ll talk soon, okay? Okay. All right. Hey, how are you holding up? Mom,

I’m losing it, I swear. I’m barely holding on. I know. Your dad said that he spoke to Nicole. Yeah, he told me too. I was so pumped when I heard that Holly was out of her coma, but she doesn’t even remember anything from that night. Nothing. I know it’s a blow, but we are not giving up. We are going to clear your name.

I was so sure she was going to tell the truth, too. But I didn’t give her those drugs that I tried to tell her not to take them. I know. But your family believes you. Well, I guess that tells me now. Still stuck in here with no way out. What are we gonna do, mom?

You definitely have the magic touch constitution. I think she just likes Greek alibis. That’s all , do you not? My little angel. Huh? I’m very impressed with how you are with her. You’re very kind and gentle. Well, that’s because I adore this little one. As I adore her grandmother.

Well, I think reheated breakfast was really good. I agree. But I am glad that we got a little bit of, uh, extra time under the covers. You were the perfect appetizer. That’s very useful. I know this is gonna sound really corny, but This feels really nice. Oh, clearing dishes? Yeah, clearing dishes. It’s just, it’s us doing the simplest tasks together.

You know, having breakfast in our own home and clearing dishes as a team. Yeah, only one thing can make it better, having our daughter home. Yeah, I’m missing her too. Let’s go get dressed. We’ll go to my mom, we’ll grab her, we’ll deal with this later. Yes!

Mmm, crispy bacon and eggs. You know, this is our first sit down breakfast as husband and wife. This go around, anyway. Yeah, well, this go around, my love, is forever. And beyond. I’m leaving. You know, I’m not actually feeling all that hungry. At least not for breakfast. Yeah, well, I don’t mind. Cold. Eggs and soggy bacon.

That is my wife. So easygoing and so beautiful

Well, that was a way to build up an appetite. The best way, maybe. You know, if we keep this going, we might be able to cancel our gym memberships. That would be an added benefit. Sure.

You know, I keep thinking about How lucky I am to have you as a husband. And you’re not only sexy and handsome, you’re also really just so kind. I keep thinking about how you were there with me in the hospital day and night while I was being there for Mama. Speaking of your mom, and look, I mean, what happened with her, that’s like off the charts.

Amazing, right? Yeah, it’s more than amazing. It’s more than luck. It’s a miracle. And Abe? Getting his memory back at the same time? So was that. I guess call it the power of love, I guess. Your mom. She never gave up on him. Yeah. Just like you and me, we never gave up on each other. I mean, yes, we went through our very dramatic breakup.

Mm-Hmm, , and then seeing other people and all of that, but well, speaking for myself, you are always in my heart and my dreams. Same here. I actually used to dream about you all the time. A lot of my dreams took place in, uh, Italy. After our first wedding, I would look over at you. I’d go, Ti adoro, amore mio.

And you’d look back, and you’d go, Anch’io ti amo. And then I’d wake up, and I’d really wish that it wasn’t a dream. Wow. It’s not a dream anymore. It is so very real. And perfect.

It’s amazing. Isn’t it? How fast a child can grow and change right before your eyes. Oh, yes. I watched my Katharina become an incredibly kind and loving soul. I often try to imagine. What she might have become today. A mother. A wife.

Sarah, darling. Good morning, mom. Constantine. We just got Victoria quieted down. She’s been quite fussy this morning. Sandra! You’re here! Oh my goodness. I am indeed. When did you get released? Uh, last night. And there’s my precious girl. I’ll, uh, take my daughter in there. Thank you. Of course. Oh, my darling girl.

Sh Daddy! God, I’ve missed you. Well, uh, I have some errands to run. I I should get dressed and get on with my day. Enjoy your family time. Thank you for helping with her, Constantine. Thank you. Well, isn’t this a surprise? Isn’t it?

Holly, come on, let’s talk. Holly.

About last night I already know what you’re going to say and I don’t want Actually, no, you don’t. Yes, I had Tate arrested. But I decided not to press charges. What? You didn’t? No, I did not. Oh my god. He’s actually back at the halfway house. Oh, thank God. All I could think about was him sitting alone in some jail cell again.

Well, he’s not alone, and he is not in jail. He’s in a very safe and supportive environment. And Holly, there’s, there’s more that you need to know. What more? Part of the agreement to allow Tate to go back to the halfway house is that he needs to wear an ankle monitor. An ankle monitor? No! And there’s a restraining order that says he can’t come within 100 feet of this property or you.

My God, I can’t believe this! Mom, he didn’t do anything wrong! I know, but honey, it’s for the best. How is it for the best? And why the hell can’t things just go back to normal again? I, I just want to see my friend. Hang out with him. This isn’t fair. I mean, if you only knew. If we only knew what? If If you only knew how sad this makes me.

For Tate. He doesn’t deserve this, EJ. He just doesn’t. Oh,

is that a smile I see, my wee baron? It sure is, because she loves the sound of her da’s voice. She missed you so much, Xander. Not nearly as much as I missed her. Uh. Thank you again so much, Mom, for watching her last night. Oh, it’s always a pleasure, you know that. Although, I gotta tell you, this morning, she wanted no part of me.

I couldn’t get her calmed down. And then Constantine sang her this Greek lullaby, and she was so calm and comfortable after that. You know, Maggie, uh, Sarah and I, I think we’d be more comfortable if she was just with you when you babysit. Huh. That’s not fair, Xander. Constantine has been very sweet and kind and gentle with her.

I mean, you’ll have you know that he raised a daughter himself, who died tragically when she was a young woman. Oh my God. Me and her? Yeah, well now you know. And it’s very painful for him to talk about her, obviously. But he opened up to me about that loss. And, and he’s, his tenderness towards Victoria is very touching.

Because of that loss, and he has a way with her, a wonderful way.

I’m texting Lonnie and letting her know that Mama’s going to be released today. She is going to be so thrilled. It’s still so hard to believe. I know it is. Hey, hey, we should throw Mama a welcome home bash. You know how she loves a party. Today? Are you sure we have enough time to pull that off? Well, we can, um, call the market that’s right by the apartment.

They have a really great party section. And then we can, can you call them and just see if they have like a welcome home banner and some streamers and balloons. And then I can call the bakery and order some pastries, of course, a few quiches. And then can you also get some groceries so that we can make sure that the fridge is stocked?

Just make a list and it’s done. Yes. Great. And then I’ll also order some flowers and see if they can be delivered with them. The stuff from Sweet Bits. Perfect. I will call Abe and see if he knows when they’re going to release her. Okay. Well, with the shortage of hospital beds, it could be soon. Um, do you want to invite anyone?

Um, let’s keep it low key for now. And then, um, maybe when you talk to Abe, you can ask him. Will do, Captain. All right. All is well in the world, isn’t it? Yeah.

Holly, honey, we know that Tate is your friend. But he broke into our home and Okay, okay, yeah, I heard you. The first and second and third time. You guys both think Tate’s some kind of delinquent just because he broke out of that stupid halfway house to come make sure I was okay. Holly, you Forget it. I’m going for a walk.

Wait, wait, whoa. Mom, I haven’t had any exercise in a long time. Okay? I won’t be gone long. Okay. But we still have a lot to do. I know. Remember, we’re having a party here tomorrow after Jude’s christening. Oh, right, yeah. Yeah, I just, I want you to help me with the decorations. And maybe you can go to Sweet Bits with me and we can finalize the desserts?

Sure, maybe later. I know, how about I go on the walk with you? No, Mom, I want to go on the walk. Honey, I just, Mom, I need to go by myself. I just want to listen to music or a podcast or whatever, okay? Okay. I’m just going to the park. Can you just text me, please? When you get there, thank you. I will. Holly, Holly, wait.

Listen, I know you resent the restraining order, but it must not be violated or there will be consequences. So please do not contact Tate. It’ll just make things worse for everyone. Got it. See you later.

Yeah, can you bump today’s status meeting until after we’ve met with the new ad hire? Yeah, I just wanna get a feel for them before the meeting. Great. Yeah, just push it right through the calendars. I’m gonna call when I’m on my way. Okay.

Today’s gonna be a good day. Today’s gonna be a good day. It’s gonna be a good day.

Oh! No, no, that seat’s taken. Yes, by me. I saw your date heading out. I would hate for you to have to sit here all alone. I am in no mood for this, and I have a meeting to get to. We have to have a little meeting ourselves, Teresa. It has been a long while since we have discussed our little venture. So tell me, how are things going with the plan to acquire Alex Kiriakis fortune?

This is not the time or the place, Constantine. I really need to get into work now. Right! For the owner of Titan, a man you claim to be in love with, but in reality are trying to screw out of his family fortune. So how’s it going?

If you really must know, I was this close to having it all. In fact, he even bought me an engagement ring that I accidentally found in the pocket of his jacket. And he was going to propose to me on Valentine’s Day, but He chickened out, so I pushed back and I moved out of his apartment. And? Did he see the error of his ways?

I don’t know. No, I’m not really focused on him these days. I’m focused on my son, because he’s going through a terrible time lately, so I don’t really see much of Alex Kiriakis. Well, that is unacceptable, Teresa. And we must do something about it. Xander,

do you want some tea? Oh, no thank you. My hands are happily full right now. Well, can the two of you stay for breakfast? We’ve already eaten. Oh. Yes, we had reheated porridge and it was delicious. Delicious. Oh, Sander, it is so good to have you home. I know it’s largely due to Justin. He worked so hard on your case.

I haven’t been exonerated. Mm, yet. Right, but bail has been posted, so here I am with my three favorite girls. Ooh. Oh, thank goodness. Do you mind my asking what changed? I mean, how did you finally make bail? Well, it turns out that Detective Michaels couldn’t identify me as his shooter. But We have faith that the real shooter will be revealed eventually.

Yeah, I’m sure he will. And then once this chapter is closed, you can move on with your life. And you can live that life. That’s the plan, then. Yeah. That is the plan.

Yeah, that’d be great if you could just meet me at the apartment, Steve. That’d be awesome. Yeah, okay, awesome. Uh, I will see you there. Thank you. Um, Steve is in, so that’s gonna be a help. He also said that Kayla is planning on going home from the hospital with your mom and eight. Oh, perfect. All right, and the flowers and the orders from the bakery are being put together as we speak.

For calm before the storm.

Hey, is everything okay? Oh, just seeing if we’d heard from Holly. Oh, honey, you know she’s going to text me and not you. Right. Right. Thank you. Nicole, I, I hope I’m not alone in worrying about Holly’s friendship with Tate. I know she claims that’s all it is, friendship, but Seeing them both together. I know.

And whatever happened between Holly and Tate on New Year’s, it ended up with her being in a coma and him in a halfway house. Sad. Tragic, actually. Although, thank God we have Holly back. Though I think it’s best that we keep those two apart.

Jude, you keep kicking this blanket off, you’re gonna catch a cold. Hey. Fancy seeing you guys here. Look who’s up out and about. That’s great. Look at you, Jude. Oh, I can’t believe how big you got. Hey, he’s smiling at me. Yeah, he obviously likes you. Well, I like him too. Yes, I do, Jude, because you’re the cutest.

Hey, um, I ran into Teresa earlier. She told me what happened with Tate. Oh. So then you know that it’s really bad? Well, which part are you talking about? All of it? Oh, Eric, if I could only take back New Year’s Eve. God, how I wish I could. Brady, I know you want to believe Tate. And so do I. Maybe Maybe Holly isn’t like Maybe she’s just confused.

No, look, I know you love Holly. I know you think of her as a daughter. And I love her too. And I understand why she wouldn’t want her parents to think that she’s using, but You have to understand my kid’s in custody, Eric. And she is putting her selfish needs to get approval from her parents ahead of my kid’s freedom.

What? What are you thinking? I talked to Holly the other day. I also felt like she might be hiding something. I just I didn’t want to push too hard. I’ll talk to her again, I promise. You understand anything that you could do, I mean, I would be very grateful. Brady, this is all about family. I know you’d do the same for Judith.

You

mean you wish you could take back what happened on New Year’s Eve? You mean being drugged? Yeah, but see my memory’s fuzzy so I don’t know how that happened still, but I know Tate’s being blamed I mean for pushing drugs on me and it’s just so wrong and now I can’t see him or even talk to him because there’s This restraining order that says he can’t come within a hundred feet of me I know your mom and EJ are just trying to keep you safe.

But I don’t need to be kept safe from Tate. Eric, he’s a really good person, I swear. And all these awful things that mom and EJ are accusing him of, blaming him for what happened on New Year’s Eve, none of it’s true. Okay, what is true, Holly? What do you remember? Holly, someone might see us. My mom almost did.

By the way, my parents are both addicts, so there is no way I’m taking those, and neither should you. Oh, come on. They’re just some ADHD meds I got from someone at school. Everyone does it. Yeah, well, not me, and I didn’t think that you did either. Really? Because I offered you weed like your first day in Salem.

That is not weed, Holly. Those are amphetamines. Very mild ones. Look, they, they just make me feel better, okay? And they give me energy. Wait, so you need to feel better and have more energy tonight when you’re with me? Tate, you don’t understand. They’ll just, they’ll make things more fun for both of us. Yeah, no, not for me.

I’m out.

You know, darling, I was wondering, with everything that’s going on, I thought maybe it might be best to just postpone the christening celebration. What? No, no, no. With everything that’s going on, we need something positive to celebrate. And E EJ, the christening is tomorrow. The invitations already went out.

It’d be incredibly rude to cancel now. And also, I just, I think this gesture will show Sloan that I am trying to Woo, get along with her. Okay. Okay. Only if you’re sure. I am. And, and I believe that this will help heal me from the loss of our baby boy. And, and I’m not sure why, but just having baby Jude here after his christening is somehow comforting to me.

I understand. I do.

So, We are definitely taking Sarah up on her offer. Of using the Horton Cabin for our private, cozy honeymoon? Mm hmm. Yes. Yes, we are. And then, later on, we can plan a more exciting, exotic honeymoon. But that’ll be after Mama is done with all her cancer treatment. But for now, I think that a little time in the Horton Cabin would do us a We could, uh, learn to play cribbage.

Cribbage? I was thinking something more like two handed poker. But, you know what? I am up for whatever. I mean, I could even try fishing. You know, bring us home a nice, big, fat, striped bass. You catch it, I’ll cook it. We make one hell of a team, don’t we, Mrs. DiMera? Yes, we do, Mr. Dupree.

You conned Alex Kiriakis before. You can do it again. You do want to be rich, do you not? Who doesn’t? Well, then get your head back in the game before you lose it all. You do understand the stakes, right? Yeah, I understand. I have to marry Alex ASAP while you snag the unsuspecting widow’s inheritance. Well, that should be no problem.

I have made myself indispensable to Maggie. Yeah, I would not underestimate her if I were you. She’s really tough. And she’s really clever. And she might be charmed by you right now. And that’s only because she’s grieving her late husband. But once she gets a whiff of the con artist you are, Oh, she’s gonna throw you out on your ass.

No, no, you are wrong. She is quite smitten with me, Mac, yes. Not only that, she trusts me implicitly. So you fulfill your part of the bargain. And you and I will be set for life.

Well, everyone should be up soon, though. I don’t know how anyone slept through Victoria’s wailing. Oh, Constantine obviously didn’t. No, he didn’t. He was very kindly helping me calm her down, as I told you. Xander. We don’t agree about Constantine. And I know I’m repeating myself, but I urge you please to understand that he’s been very kind and supportive.

He kind of makes me laugh. And he’s wonderful with your daughter, my granddaughter. Okay, now I’m gonna go get dressed and start my day. Thank you for watching our tiny again, Mama. Oh, you know how much I love taking care of her, Sarah. And I know you’re going to be exonerated, Xander. I pray that it’s very soon.

Thank you, Meg.

So, Mom’s going on about what great company Constantine is and how great he is with Victoria, etc, etc. That didn’t change your mind about him, did it? When your mum talks about him that way, I mean, all that does is reinforce my conviction that he has her completely conned. But he doesn’t have me conned.

Not only do I not trust the man, I despise him with every cell of my being.

All I know is Tate’s a good guy, like I said. And I’m just, I’m just worried about him. That’s all. I get that. Hey, listen, if, if you ever want to talk about anything, I’m always here for you, okay? No judgment. Thanks, Eric. I appreciate that. Okay, well, I’ve really got to go. I have to help mom with this little guy’s christening party.

See you, Jude. Bye, Eric. Bye.

I understand now, darling, that this christening party is something that you have to do. It is. Then I am behind you 100 percent. Thank you very much. I have to get going because there’s still so much to do. Right, enjoy it. I will. Have fun. Bye.

Gregory, are you on your way to the airfield? What the hell do you mean he didn’t show up? Did you call him? I see. Well, stay put until I get in contact with you.

Damn voicemail. Where the hell are you, Stefan? And what kind of game are you playing? Dammit.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Hey Justin, what’s the news? No, I can talk, I’m just, I just finished my rounds. Oh, my God. Okay, I’ll be right there.

I still don’t understand what happened, but who cares? This is the best day ever. No transplant list, no surgery. You’re going home soon. It’s a true miracle. Now, having you all here for me, now, that made all the difference too. We wouldn’t have had it any other way. And, bonus, we got to see your face. Even if it did take you almost dying to get them here.

Just seeing Lonnie free, when the twins, they got so big. Well, the four of them, they’re one big happy family again. Oh, it just warms my heart. Now, I just have to work on getting the FBI headquarters moved here to Salem, so Eli can work locally. Well, good luck with that. Abraham Carvel? You wouldn’t be underestimating me now, would you?

I really

need to talk to you. I really need your help. This is not a good time. You need to go. Now! Well, what do you know? I would be assassin.

And you’re not going anywhere. You would be Stefan lured me to the loading dock. Made me believe that I got a text from you. And when I got there, he shot me twice at close range. Just about as close as we are right now. You shot him? Ava, you know Clyde. He didn’t really give me a choice. You bastard!

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

lying son of a bitch. I didn’t have a choice. Either I took out Harris or Clyde was going to kill Gabby and you knew he would follow through with it. Actually, there was a choice for both of you. What? Ava, I begged you to come clean with me. What? No, you didn’t. You dodged the truth. You said that you were in danger.

You didn’t want me caught in the crossfire. And how did that work out? Maybe none of this would have happened if you would have just told me the whole story. Tripp and Wendy, they might not have been kidnapped. You’re right. I should have trusted you.

I should have trusted you.

Sarah, what are you doing here? It’s so late. Justin called me. Then you know I’m being released. Yes, you’re getting out of here. But how, how did it happen? Well, it was Harris. Yeah, since he can’t positively ID me as his shooter, Justin convinced the judge to let me out on, on bail. Wow. I can’t believe that the DA’s office didn’t give any pushback on that.

Yeah, right? DiMera setting a Kyriakos free at the request of his Kyriakos lawyer. I have to call Justin back. I, I hung up on him and then I basically flew here. Oh, well he’s downstairs posting my bond as we speak and as soon as that’s done, I’m out of here. And you’ll be home. I’ll be home.

Yeah. At least Lonnie is now free to come and go as she pleases. Oh, thank God. And hopefully we’ll see a lot of her and those grand babies. Even if Eli’s off saving the world. Well, you know, we can visit them now. Maybe this summer. Oh, yeah. Johnny and I will go with you. Yeah. Oh, well, that, that, that sounds great, great.

But now, before we make family plans, what about you newlyweds making plans to spend some time alone together? Yes. Have you even been home since the wedding? Uh, just to get some clothes. Oh, but go home right now. Go home right now. Rest. I’m sure your butts must be dragging on the floor by now. Don’t worry, all right?

I will get. We’re home and we’ll both get some sleep. I promise. Oh, good man. He’s a keeper, Chanel. Don’t I know it. Alright, bye bye, Mama. Love you. Love you too, baby girl. Oh, and you too, my sweet, sweet son in law. And the next time we see you, you’re going to be at home. Amen, amen. Okay, now. Listen to your mother and go, go, go, go, go.

Oh, okay, okay. Ha ha ha. Oh. Oh. Love those two so much. But I thought they’d never leave. Ha ha ha. Now get over here, husband. Give me some sugar. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

Oh, my darling husband. Oh, I cannot wait to be roomies again. Oh, me neither, and I promise you I’m not going to hog the bed, or leave the dishes in the sink. I believe that when I see it. Oh, I’ll see this.

Hey, hey. Oh, hey, you two. I hope that we’re not interrupting. Oh, are you kidding? Oh, I’m so happy to see you both. We are even happier to see you looking so strong and healthy. How’d they let you in here this late? You forgot, my sister is Chief of Staff. Oh, yes, of course, connections, connections. Oh, you just missed Chanel and Johnny.

Uh, we, uh, ran into them at the elevator. Yeah, we got to congratulate them on their marriage. Isn’t that the best news? Well, I don’t know, I beg to differ, because I think the best news is that you’re well again. And they’ve got his memory back. I remember everything, partner. Even back to the old days, all the shenanigans that only we know about.

Wow, that sounds intriguing. We were in our twenties. Our brains weren’t fully developed. Well, I’m just glad that you came. But you barely caught me here, though. I am going home tomorrow. Correction, we are going home tomorrow.

No, as much as it was crazy last minute, we were so worried about mama, our hospital wedding. It was, it was perfect. Well, at least it was to me. It was simple and sweet and just, we didn’t have to deal with all that extra hoopla. Yeah, no, it was, It was perfect for me too. No pressure to perform in front of everybody.

Yeah, or to decide who to invite and who not to invite, or what caterers to hire, and are they going to serve fish, or meat, or pasta, or vegan, or all of the above. Oh, and trying not to see people next to people that they don’t know. Oh, my God. That would have been so challenging. Oh, my gosh. With my family?

For sure. Actually, impossible. I’m pretty sure it would be impossible. Yeah, no. Who needs all that stress, right? Not me. No, not me. There’s one thing, though. What? Well, since, you know, we didn’t really have a wedding reception, We never really got to have our first dance as husband and wife. Yeah, that’s right.

And that’s also not right. No, definitely not, no. That’s why I said it. So, what shall we do about that? Well, it is a bit, you know, belated, okay? And there’s no Dance floor, there’s no band, but I’m kind of in the mood right now to uh, trip the light fantastic with my beautiful wife. So, what do you say, Mrs.

DiMera? I say, you’re on. Okay. Mr. Dupree. Oh.

It’s kind of a mess. I’m sorry. We just got back from Mom’s and I haven’t put everything away yet. This is the most beautiful room I’ve ever seen in my life. My God, I mean, look at our view. It’s stunning. I swear I’m never going to take this for granted ever again. Um, I’m going to text my mom real quick and check on Victoria.

It’s pretty late, no? Yeah. No, you’re right. Um, I’ll just, I’ll call her in the morning. I’m sure everything is fine. And Victoria is going to be so happy to see her daddy again. We’ll go tomorrow, first thing, and we’ll scoop her up. And then you can spend all day doting on her. You know I will. But meanwhile, Tonight, Is all out.

No,

no, don’t you put this on her. Okay, we all know Clyde is the bad guy here. Okay, but he would have had our backs. We should have trusted him.

Okay, he’s fine now. And Tripp and Wendy, they’re safe. He is fine now? He was in a coma, and Tripp and Wendy nearly died. But they didn’t. No harm, no foul. Oh, I see. So because you’re only an attempted murderer, all is right with the world? Man, you’re a real disgusting piece of work. Oh, really? I’m the piece of work, huh?

Really? What about her? Huh? Do you know what she was doing when she was so lonely and pining over you and guilt ridden about lying to your face? No, no, no, no, no, Ava. What’s wrong with two people doing the, uh, what was that movie you called it? The, the, the, the whirlybird? Huh? Nothing to be ashamed of.

Yes, my Abraham and I are going home tomorrow morning and as wonderful as. Everybody has been here, the doctors, the nurses. I can’t wait to blow this joint. I bet you can’t. And you two, roommates once again, huh? Roommates once again. And then, ASAP, I’m back to work as mayor. Because I know this fair city is just going to hell on a hand basket without me.

Even so, you are not going back to work until you’re fully healed, my dear. I know, I know, I know. I got follow up treatment ahead of me. But I, I feel, you know, I feel so, so strong that I think I can face anything. I mean, it’s so amazing. I mean, it really is, but I have to admit, I don’t understand exactly what happened.

So, were you misdiagnosed with a heart condition? Um, shall we tell them? Be my guess. So I had flatlined, what my God. Um. So then the doctors brought you back, right? No, no, not, not the doctors. See, well, Abe was holding my hand, and then he put it over my heart, and then that, that, you know, that beep. Beep. Beep.

That got louder and louder. I saw this bright white light. Then that light just washed over me. I was healed.

I don’t even know what to say to that. I mean, it’s really miraculous. It was definitely miraculous. And the other miracle is that I got my memory back at the same time. Wow. Damn. That’s some story. One for the ages, right? One for the ages. Hey, hey buddy, you know what? Would you like to get a bad cup of hospital decaf?

Sure thing. Can we bring you two anything? Nothing for me. No bad decaf for me, thanks. Okay, I’ll be back soon. Well, don’t rush. We have a lot to talk about.

Now, what are those two up to? I don’t know, but I do know Roman is so thrilled that He has his memory back. I don’t know, they probably want to reminisce about some things. Right, yeah, those shenanigans that only they know about.

So, now we’ve had our first dance. And it was lovely. And you only stepped on my toes twice. Yeah, that’s, that’s gotta be a record for me, right? Yeah, I think it is. As I was saying, now that we’ve had our first dance as a couple, I was just thinking, we’re still One more thing we haven’t done yet as husband and wife.

Oh, you mean this time as husband and wife. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, should we head home? Oh, to a house full of DiMeras? Not exactly. Romantic. You know. Yeah, true. So,

Do you see what I see? Ah, the lovely Salem Inn. Which I’m sure has an available room for us to have a wedded night of fun. And it is calling, aren’t it?

What the hell, Stefan? I’m just trying to point out here that none of us are saints. I don’t know. Harris, Look, it’s not like what he, I was only pretending to be in a relationship with Stefan to protect you. You know that. Right? And he and I, we just, One night we drank too much and it was stupid and I, Yeah, I don’t, I don’t care.

That was then, this is now. Hey, you know what? You should be grateful. I didn’t tell him about this before now, especially when this Neanderthal tried to break my neck. He tried to kill me for the second time. And of course, he made me promise to take the fall for our misdeeds. Why the hell would I do that?

Why would I take the blame for everything and you get off scot free? Because she didn’t try to murder me twice. You know I got news for you, pal. I go down for this, I’m taking her with me. Oh no! No, Stefan. Our agreement stands and you’re going to pay the consequences. You’re going to turn yourself in for drug trafficking and money laundering.

And then you’re going to confess that it was you and only you that was acting as Clyde’s partner. And that Ava was coerced, she was threatened, and an unwilling participant.

And why would he do that? For a real good reason. You get a lighter sentence than you would for attempted murder of a police officer. So you’re gonna take the fall for the crimes.

And the man who shot me will remain unknown forever.

What’s it gonna be?

Hey.

Oh, hey. What’s wrong?

I, um, had a dream. After we fell asleep together. It started out and it was like I was in a, um, in a park, but I couldn’t find you or Victoria. Then I saw you head into a tunnel in the distance and you were holding her, but I couldn’t get to you. And then, later, when I was finally in the tunnel, you were gone.

Hmm. Well, I’m here now. And Victoria is safe at my mom’s. It was just a dream. Yeah, but I know why I had that dream. It’s because the charges against me haven’t been dropped. I could still be charged with attempted murder and go away for a very, very long time, Sarah. I just, I couldn’t handle it. But being away from you and Victoria again, I I just couldn’t handle it.

Am I glad to hit back? I am damn glad to be back, partner. I met your times at the pub, man, arguing about the cubs and the bears. Reminiscing about the old days. Yeah, talking about the time back when you were a job. Partners sniffing out the clues, taking down the bad guys. You know, my, uh, my heart beats for my wife and family.

But my blood, my blood will always run blue. Amen to that.

I am so happy to see you like this. You’re a wonderful energetic self. I’m pretty worried about you. Oh, so was I. But God had other plans. For me and for Abraham.

But you know What?

Truth is, you know, now that we’re going to be living together again, I don’t know. Well, I was always worried that, uh, you know, I wasn’t really Abe’s type. What are you talking about? He adores you. Oh, no, no, no. I know that. But, uh, well, being in my presence all the time, now, Especially after such a big break from me.

Well, Avis, he’s, you know, he’s mellow, easy going, you know. In case you haven’t noticed, I, I got a pretty big personality.

And, uh, you know, I, I, I’m a real handful. I don’t walk in the park, sister. I mean, and the truth is, I never thought I was Roman’s type. I mean, he’s a mellow. He’s easy going. Oh, no. And full too. Oh, just like me and Abe. Oh, I guess we both ended up with our exact opposites, huh? Yeah. I guess someone up there, uh, knew better than we did.

Yeah. It was someone up there’s took real good care of me, beating cancer, surviving a failing heart, and I just feel my heart, it feels so strong now Kate, I feel like I can face anything. But that’s always been the case. And everyone who knows you and loves you always knew that. Now you know it too.

Well, while you’re thinking about it, one more question. Why Zander? Because he’s a believable suspect. Ex con. Thug for hire. Used by Kristen. By you. Right. Believable. Yet totally innocent, and you were willing to ruin his life. You shot me twice in cold blood, and Zander take the fall. Maybe I’m letting you off easy with this deal.

You better take it. Stefan, before I change my mind.

What’s that, Stefan? I can’t hear you, you’re gonna have to speak up. All right, time’s up. Ava was as deep in this as I was. I don’t give a damn! So here’s what’s gonna happen. You have until tomorrow morning 9 a. m. to turn yourself in, or this deal is off, and you’re not gonna like what happens.

Okay, uh, let me get this straight. You just put your hand over Pauline’s heart and the room’s just filled up with white light. Right? I mean, so what? I mean, do you have divine powers now or something? Hey, what is it you’re not telling me here?

It’s about Lexi Okay Yeah, I know this sounds bizarre and please Please don’t share this with anyone But I saw her You saw Lexi? She’s the one who brought the miracle to us Pauline was dying A white light came and in that light was Lexi. Paulina saw her too. She thought Lexi was there to take her to heaven.

But Lexi said we both need to, to live. And that’s when Paulina’s heart started beating again. And my memories came flooding back. Wow.

Hell, I mean, I don’t know what to say here, okay? I mean, I guess the only thing I can say is, God bless Lexi for giving Pauline her life back and giving you your past back. Yeah, now that I have my past back and I have my memories of, you know, The many years I was with Lexi, and how much I loved her. I, uh, Well, I feel something that’s disturbing.

Why would that be? Even though Lexi’s gone. I feel as if I’m, uh, Disloyal to Paulina. Abe.

Listen to me, okay? The woman you love right now, In the present, Is Paulina. Your memories of Lexi and all the things that happened that made you the incredible man you are, Those memories, they’re important too. But don’t let them overshadow what you have now. A great woman, a great love.

In the present. Yes.

Thank you for coming, Kate. I’m so blessed to have you for a friend. I got you. You know, having someone to talk to really means a lot to me. It means a lot to me, too. To know that you’re there for me. Especially since most of my girlfriends are back in Miami. Wow. I have to admit, I haven’t had very many female friends, but you know, from the men that I’ve known, in my experience, they don’t even want to listen.

Not just in your experience, darling. Oh, oh, oh, oh. And as much as these next generations, they think men and women are alike, oh, mmm. And I know, wait a minute, this is going to sound very funny. Very sexist of me. It’s a bunch of nonsense. Oh, please, I agree, 100%. For example, like, you know, like, barbecue. After a barbecue, oh, ask a woman what she’s learned, and she’ll tell you something about every couple there, how, where they live, how many kids they have, how they’re getting along with their husband, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends.

Ask a man what, what they discussed. That’s it. Barbecue. Oh my God. So true. Except, there are some exceptions. Yes, yes. There are. Like my My Roman. Yep. And now those two, I’m pretty sure that they talk about a lot more than barbecuing. Like, right now, they’re probably Talking about how lucky they are to have amazing wives like us.

Right. Like that. Yes. I’m feeling very, very lucky right now too, Kate. Uh, not just to have an amazing, amazing husband, but an amazing friend.

You know, I feel exactly the same way. Hey, one day at a time for us, okay? That’s gonna be our mantra. We aren’t gonna worry about tomorrow. Right, but it’s easier said than done, isn’t it? I mean Damn it, Sarah. I’ve been so careful staying on the straight and narrow now that I have you and Victoria in my life.

The thought of having all that ripped away again, I just

Maybe this is punishment for my past. No. No, hey. I do not believe in karma like that. I do believe that people can improve themselves. They can grow and change. And you are proving that. Yeah, but only to you, really. I This is why I think maybe that you and Victoria would be better off without me. Okay, stop.

You’ve said that before and you’ve obviously never heard my response. But your daughter and I need you here, close to us. Sarah, it’s always gonna be Now, don’t argue with me. I want you in my life. I want you in Victoria’s life because Because what? Because you’re important to me. You’re important to her.

Because I love you.

Well, did you miss us? Oh, just a little bit. So, how was that coffee? Terrible, as every test. I told you, I never lie to you. So, what were you two ladies talking about? Oh, just, you know, girl talk. Which means we don’t have to tell you. Nope. So, uh, what were you two talking about? Barbecue? No, but barbecue sounds pretty damn good right now.

What are you talking about? We’re not gonna get barbecued. No, we’re not, but we all gotta get together. When you feel up to it, Paulina, I’ll barbecue some steaks, burgers, chicken, whatever your heart desires. Oh, Noel, watch out. Be careful now. My healthy heart might desire all three. You got it. Name the date.

Yeah, whatever you feel like it. Just let us know. Oh, we will. Okay. I can’t wait. And right now though, we’re gonna say bye. Let you get some rest. Yes, absolutely. Okay. Okay. Take care. I will see you very soon. Bye. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Yes, of course. Friends. Friends. Yes. You know, lying here in your arms, This is the one place in the world that I feel like nothing can go wrong.

Ever. Yeah, I feel the same. In your arms. So, Why don’t we just stay here for a few nights and enjoy the privacy of this room? The bed. The feeling that nothing can go wrong. I’m happy.

I know. I know you’re tired. You’ve been through so much lately.

Good night, beautiful. We

have come so far, Xander. And that tunnel that you were stuck in, in your dream? There’s a light at the end of it. I promise you that. What did I do to deserve this? Oh, who cares? I’m here now. You’ve got me. I love you, Sarah. And as I have said, which bears repeating And repeating, I love you, Xander.

Harris,

what happened between me and Stefan, it meant nothing. And I am so, so sorry. Don’t, don’t apologize.

You’re so calm. Aren’t you angry? I

can’t change the past. All we can do is move forward. Are you

doing this for me? Making Stefan take the blame when you know I am just as guilty. I think you know why. Yeah, I’m not so sure.

Because I love you.

And I know you love me.

I heard you say it to me when you thought I wasn’t listening in the hospital. You heard me. I did.

Do you mean it?

I meant it. I love you, Harris. What the

hell’s a guy gotta do to get a drink around here?

For everything. While she gets off scot free.

We’ll see about that.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, I think I finally got our Jude down for the night. Uh huh. You said that ten minutes ago. Yeah, well, if he happens to wake up, then I think I might just take him over to my mom and John’s place and put Uncle Brady to work as godfather. Hmm. I thought you, uh, hadn’t asked Brady yet. Mm, I haven’t. But this might be a good time to offer him the job.

You know, then he can fulfill his duties as godfather. Godfather. Okay. That’s good. Speaking of family, I know how tradition is so important to the Bradys. So what are your thoughts on moving the reception venue back to the pub as we previously discussed? But we already talked about that. No, I know. I know.

I just was I had time to think. I was mulling it over and, you know, I just got worried that your dad might feel. He might feel slighted if he doesn’t have the chance to give his baby grandchild a christening party. Yeah, well, the thing is, Nicole, she’s really excited about hosting at the Demarest. And like I said, Dad, he’ll understand.

Really? You don’t think you’ll be hurt? Is this about keeping Jude’s christening celebration in the family? Or keeping Nicole out of it? I can’t even believe this. John.

See, didn’t He told you that I killed Constantine’s daughter, didn’t he?

John So you’ve known all these years, haven’t you? But when I asked Point blank to my face and you’ve gone behind my back and you told my wife. So my question to you, partner, is were you ever going to tell me? Dammit, Steve!

Part of bed rest, don’t you understand, huh? Come on, sit down. Get off your feet, please. Yeah, sorry it took me so long. Yeah, well, where were you? You had me worried. I just, uh, had some things I needed to take care of.

What’s going on? Oh, uh, Detective Michaels was just here asking for you. And? What did he say? Well, since you failed to neutralize Clyde Weston, who has just Escape from prison. I can safely infer that you are no longer of any use to the good detective. He also told me that you shot him in cold blood and he demanded justice be served for his attempted murder.

Hey, Jay. You’re still gonna help me out, right? You and I, we made a deal. Don’t worry yourself, Stefan. Don’t worry. Since I can’t wait to get rid of you, I am going to help you. In fact, tonight is going to be your last night as a DiMera. So make the most of it.

Cheers. Exciting. Oh, that’s good stuff.

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

Eric, you already know how I feel about Nicole. I frankly don’t understand why you told her she could throw a christening party for a kid that she’d kidnapped not even that long ago. That was only because she was out of her mind in grief. Not to mention she apologized profusely and we accepted, didn’t we?

Yeah, I suppose so, sure. But still Holly is like a daughter to me. And she thinks of Judah as a brother. And that’s why I think it’s important for her to feel a part of this. Yeah. So, Eric, it’s about Holly or Nicole. Hi. Hey,

hey, uh, I hope I’m not interrupting. No, you’re not interrupting anything. Actually, I was just leaving. Have a good night.

It’s ironic, isn’t it? That after all these years, Constantine, of all people, is Is the one who finally told me the truth.

Steve was afraid how you’d react to the truth. The truth? That I Took the life of an innocent young woman. John. I see. How are you supposed to react? John. It might not be the truth at all. Constantine doesn’t know the whole story any more than you or I do. What I do know is this young girl was a real person.

John. She was somebody’s daughter, and I killed her. What’d you have to take care of? Is everything all right? When was the last time you saw or spoke with Stefan? Oh, um, God, I don’t know. Um, my head’s been so focused on Tripp. Um, I guess probably a few days ago when you woke up at the hospital. Why? Well, I just wanted to have a little chat with him about Clyde, but Unfortunately, he’s nowhere to be found.

You’re all set to depart, Stefan. I’ve secured your new passport and transportation out of Salem. Tomorrow morning, you’ll assume your new identity and be on your not so merry way. Oh, man. I didn’t think it would move so fast. It’s break glass time, Stefan. Clyde wanted you to off Harris. Harris wanted you to take out Clyde.

And since you failed so spectacularly on both counts, the only options you have are prison, death, or North Korea. North Korea, that’s it. That’s a joke, right? Dead serious. I told you I’d get you safely to a country that doesn’t hold an extradition treaty with the U. S. You just didn’t tell me which one you’d prefer.

I’m sorry, Jay, this is nuts. You said you would help me, not send me into a frickin war zone. Would you prefer Afghanistan? Wait. I hear Siberia’s weather is fantastic this time of year.

You know, come to think of it, it is odd that I haven’t heard from Stefan. I mean, you don’t think that he had something to do with Clyde’s escape? Do you? I mean, I know Clyde put the screws to Stephan by threatening Gabby, and obviously Stephan is very protective of her. Yeah, I mean, he’s definitely crazy about her.

Yeah, he’s crazy about her. He’s worried about her too, understandably. So, I think You might even be surprised by the lengths that he would go to protect her. No, no, no. This is not what you agreed to? No, I beg to differ. How the hell am I supposed to navigate these places, huh? I don’t speak Russian, okay? I certainly don’t speak Korean, and I definitely don’t speak Sorry?

You mean to tell me you’ve never studied the official language of Afghanistan?

I lost four years of my life thanks to you. Well, only in part, actually. Now, if you want me to hold on to your worldly assets and not send you to a safer location, I mean, I’m free to do that. I can’t believe I’m trusting you with my life. Well, as father always said, starting over builds character.

Look out. What the? Ugh, it’s you. Party a little too hard on St. Patty’s Day? First off, you’re still talking way too loud. And second, whatever perfume you’re wearing is making me want to toss my cookies. Oh. Truth be told, I think Roman Brady was trying to do me in last night. I have a world class katsu jammer.

A little too much Irish whiskey? All of that, and a bunch of green beer. Lesson learned. Never mix the two. I think the real lesson learned here is don’t go drinking on my dime. Uh, it’s my dime now, Ms. Snarky Pants. And you may want to show a little more consideration for someone who’s currently feeling weakness, fatigue, headaches, muscle aches, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and extreme irritability.

And maybe if you did a little less drinking yourself, my weekly allowance wouldn’t be overdue. Oh, there’s another symptom I’m experiencing. Impatience to the max. So cough it up. Now. Are you sure this is a good time? Because Sloan did not seem very thrilled when I arrived. I’m sorry. She was a bit exhausted.

That’s all. Jude, he was just a little hard getting down today, you know, and he just didn’t sleep well at all last night. Okay. Hey, by the way, we had a little mess up getting the invitation set for, uh, christening and everything. So we were thinking about the day after tomorrow. Yeah, Marlena told me. And I wouldn’t miss it.

You know what, I’m glad you said that. Because I have a big favor to ask of you. Would you do this honor? Being Jude’s godfather? Oh. Wow, um, no, that, that, I’m, I’m, I’m honored that you would ask me. I, But no, no, I can’t do that.

John, don’t torment yourself. Listen to me. Look at me. You’re a wonderful man, a wonderful husband, a wonderful father and friend. Damn fine killing machine. John! I can’t live with myself like this anymore and I won’t. Wait a minute, what are you saying? I’m not, I don’t harm myself, but I am gonna do the one thing that I know I can do.

And it’s turn myself into the authorities.

Come on. Why would Stefan help Clyde? He despises him. Yeah, he’s crazy about his wife, we already established that. Mm hmm. I know he, he cares about you, so maybe you can reach out to him. We already have. I mean, I called him and I left him a text, but he never responded. And Harris, he can’t be running all over town like some action hero.

Come here.

I’m taking you to bed. No arguing.

Why do you put it that way? I definitely won’t argue.

Now, I suggest you take only a few changes of clothes and toothbrush. Nothing more. Oh, man. I was planning on packing an entire trunk full of all my possessions, including guidebooks, language books, and, uh Can’t forget Dari for dummies, right? Don’t be silly. You packed a lot, Stefan. Right. Toothbrush and a couple of outfits.

I’d at least like to say goodbye to my wife. Before I go. Sure. Sure. If you’d like to say goodbye to your life as well. Need I remind you the power Clyde’s network wields at Statesville? You walking there now, you’ll be taken out feet first. But don’t worry, I’ll gladly put the knife through Gabby’s heart on your behalf.

You sadistic son of a bitch. I’d pull back on the name calling, Stefan. Since your very life is in my hands.

What are you going to tell my wife? I’ll tell her that you’re going to start your happily ever after without her. And no worries, I’m sure she’ll do the same at her earliest opportunity, unless she’s already done that.

Yes, please.

Tell her I love her. I don’t care about anything else. Just please tell her I love her. Okay? No. Now, a car will meet you at the end of the tunnel just before dawn. Oh, I can’t remember. You’re not claustrophobic, are you? Well, I hope not. Because it’s probably safest for you to ride in the trunk.

Here. Fantastic! This isn’t going to bounce, is it? Have my checks ever bounced? There’s a first time for everything. Uh huh. Well, this check is covered. Unlike you, I actually know how to stick to a budget. Uh, I know how to stick to a budget, missy. And my being in the red had nothing to do with my St. Paddy’s Day antics.

It’s because of a suit that I bought for a certain someone’s baby christening. Oh my god. What? I wasn’t going to show up in any old schmata. I want to look fabulous to celebrate that adorable child being given his Christian name before all of his family and friends. He and I have a very special connection, born out of my birthing him.

And I can’t wait until he’s old enough to talk so he can tell everyone what a great job Uncle Leo did at bringing him into the world. Well, I have a simple fix for your budget woes, Uncle Leo. Return that suit and get a refund because you will not be coming to Jude’s christening.

So you won’t be Jude’s godfather, Eric. It’s an honor that you asked me. I just don’t think I should be associated with any titles that have the word Father in them. Alright, given the way I’ve screwed up with my own kids. What are you talking about, Brady? You’re a great dad. Am I? Am I? I got one kid in a halfway house.

I got another daughter that pretty much doesn’t care whether she sees me or not. I hardly ever see her. Wait a minute. If Rachel doesn’t care whether she spends time with you or not, it’s only because Chris didn’t mess with her head. Yeah, but the only reason Kristen is able to mess with her head is because I screwed up and made mistakes and I lost custody of my daughter.

And by the way, I don’t know if you, do you know the latest on Tate? He broke out of the halfway house and then broke into the DiMera mansion to see Holly and EJ has slapped a restraining order on the kid. What? I know he’s a kid. I know he’s a teenager. I know he’s impulsive and I know he’s nervous and he’s scared.

He’s also in love. You know, I mean, I would have probably done the same thing if I were. I probably do the same thing right now because it’s genetic. History has shown if there’s a mistake to be made, man, I’m gonna make it. And my kids, they’re just taking after their father.

Turn yourself in and say what? John, listen. We’re talking about something that happened decades ago in another country. I’m sorry. You don’t remember what happened and I didn’t see it. No one did. I tried to convince myself that I was one of the good guys. You are. Look, I knew. I knew that Yeo Lang, he tried to create me in his own image when he trained me to be an assassin.

And of course I knew that I might have killed people as the pawn. And if I had, I just told myself to help. They were probably the bad guys anyway, but

To take the life of an innocent young girl just proves to me that I’m no better than he was. I’m a monster just like he was.

Jay, I can’t do this, I can’t, there’s gotta be another way! Okay, okay, uh, maybe we could bury you under some coats in the backseat. That is not what I meant and you know it! Oh, you think maybe I could offer you a deal? You’re the DA, of course you could. By letting you off of attempted murder when there’s plenty of evidence against you?

No can do, bro. Not if I want to keep my job. Okay, you just Took over the entire Demera Empire. Why the hell do you want a government job anyway? Because amassing power is the Demera’s raison d’etre, and you know that better than I do. Pity you threw it all away when you shot a cop. Yeah, well, if you’d just helped me out when I asked.

Oh, and there you go again, trying to shift blame to me. Ignoring the fact that you made one calamitous decision after another. One of which almost cost my stepdaughter her life. So you better be damn grateful that I’m even helping you right now. Helping me? Helping me? Don’t you mean helping yourself to everything that is rightfully mine?

This was your idea, Stefan.

You know, I’m sure the guy to whom family is speaking. meant everything is flipping in his grave right now. Mortified that one of his sons could betray another so callously, so cavalierly.

You’re so wrong, Stefan. Because I know, and I think you do too, if you were being honest with yourself. That if father was mortified by this current turn of events, it would be because one of his sons has proven himself to be an absolute failure. A complete embarrassment of the Demeeran name, stain on his legacy.

And he would be so proud of me. For making sure that that stain is banished.

Oh. What? You’re warm. Oh, you might have a fever. I don’t. Yeah, well, you know, you’ve been overdoing it. Maybe your wound’s infected. I don’t know. We need to look. No. I’m just hot for you. You’re funny.

Of course I’m going to the christening, Ms. Frau Farbissina. That’s Dr. Evil’s henchwoman from the Austin Powers movies, in case you didn’t know. Eric invited me. Not to mention, that since I delivered that baby, he has a very special place in my heart. As do I in his, because even in his little undeveloped brain, he knows that he wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for me.

So, I think it is a reasonable request, me wanting to be at his christening. Damn it, Leo. Why? Why do you want to be at this christening so bad? I literally just explained it to you. Jude and I have a special connection. Born out of my having birthed him. That and I am his fairy godfather. Oh, yeah. Well, sure.

I bet you his real godfather’s gonna have something to say about that. Brady, come on. Do you want Leo Stark to be Jude’s godfather? Leo Stark? What? It’s a long story. I don’t even fully understand, but he pretty much appointed himself to the job. Well, uh, whoa, that’s, that’s, that’s creepy, to be honest with you.

But listen, you’re gonna, you’re gonna find another willing candidate to, to do the job besides me. With Leo Stark. Brady, Brady, I don’t want anybody else. Come on, man, you’re my brother. I love you, man. I know you would do anything for your kids. Anything, and I know you will do anything for mine.

I’m gonna ask you again.

Will you please do me the honor of being Chute’s godfather?

You put it like that, and then you I know you’re not gonna back down from this, so Yeah, brother, I’d be honored. I’ll do it. Thank you.

John,

I know all too well the guilt that I felt for doing unthinkable, unspeakable things.

I know how difficult it was for me to forgive myself, even though what I had done was out of my own control. What helped me forgive myself Was your kindness And your support And your empathy

And that’s what you need right now Oh my love, the man that you are today would never do anything so So reckless So dangerous, so

Outside the bounds of the law Well, Doc, that’s where you’re wrong. Because just last week I helped Clyde Weston break out of prison.

Look, we had no choice. It was either help Weston escape or let Tripp and Wendy die. We had no intention of just letting him go. And if we hadn’t put our trust in Ava, things wouldn’t have gone south and he wouldn’t be out there running around free.

Sorry, Doc, that I’ve had to burden you with more knowledge about what I did. I’m relieved to know it. What you’ve been through, what you’ve both been through, dear God. And if anyone else gets killed now that wasn’t out there running around, that’s on me too. At the very least, I need to go to Constantine and apologize.

Not just for the pain that I caused him, But for all the accusations I have made against him. Why? The accusations are true. He’s been trying to fleece Maggie. He’s a grieving father and I’m the reason behind that. I’m telling you, partner, if anyone did that to Bill, what I did to his daughter, I would hunt that bastard down and I would kill him.

And I wouldn’t worry about it for two seconds.

So, Sloan thinks Tate should plead guilty. Right. Because there’s no way to prove that the drugs that Holly OD’d on were hers. Unless she admits it. What do you think she remembers more than she’s saying? I talked to Sarah and she said that after a coma, there can be memory loss. But my son says that Holly’s been doing drugs for weeks before she OD’d.

I mean, she’s gotta remember that, right? Yeah, you think. She’s trying to play it both ways. She also said, maybe somebody, you know, put it in her drink, but nobody’s believing that. They’re believing that my son pushed these drugs on her, and unless she comes clean, which it doesn’t look like she’s going to, everyone’s gonna believe that.

My son is gonna He’s gonna keep paying for a crime that he didn’t commit. What do you mean Jude already has a real godfather? Who? Brady, Eric’s brother, he’s asking him tonight. Brady hasn’t even accepted yet, and you’re acting like it’s a fait accompli? And Eric is procrastinating. Waiting until the last minute is a sign of deep seated doubt.

I read that in my self help book, Stop Fetching and Get a Life. Really? Look, the only reason that Eric procrastinated is because he has a demanding newborn at home, a new job, and Brady’s schedule just wasn’t in alignment. Whatever, whatever. Look, when I come to the christening, I will make sure that Jude’s picture ends up in the spectator, okay?

You can brag to all of your friend that your baby is a celebrity. I am sorry, but my son’s christening is not going to be a part of Lady Whistleblower’s column. It’s a pathetic attempt to humanize you. This isn’t about me. It’s about that little tyke being the most precious boy to ever live. What mother wouldn’t want to show him off?

And need I remind you that if it wasn’t for yours truly, that perfect little boy wouldn’t be in your life? Oh, God. Oh, and you go and make Melinda his godmother for helping you get a baby? And what about me? What am I? Chopped liver? Yes, because Melinda actually helped him get that baby out of the goodness of her heart.

She blackmailed me like some sneaky little optimistic Leo Stark. Well, look, just because I have monetized the situation does not mean that I don’t have a special bond with that boy. My God, when, when I heard that Nicole’s baby went to the hospital and died, I was bereft. I shed actual tears. And then to find out he was alive and he was with you is like an actual miracle.

And a real windfall for you. Cynical much? My god, is it so hard to believe that I actually care about the kid? Well, I do. I have been a part of his life since the second he got here. I don’t think it’s too much to ask that I get a ringside seat at one of the most important moments in his life.

And I’m pretty sure that this is not what the doctor meant when he said veterans. No, this is exactly what the doctor ordered. You

know, we never discussed, uh, specifics. Living situation and expenses. You’re a smart man, I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Oh, and I hope you like borscht. I hear it’s very affordable.

Yeah, well, doesn’t matter anyway, since I’ll be miserable wherever I am without Gabby, so. Oh, how romantic. In a morose sort of way. And if it’s any comfort to you, when she gets out of prison, if she ever does, I’ll let her know where you are, so you can wallow together in your joint misery. Now I’d suggest you get back down to those tunnels before someone sees you.

Harris will surely be back to grill the staff by morning. If not before. Bon voyage, brother.

Yes, it is too much to ask. And damn it, Leo. If you show up to that christening uninvited, I swear I will You know what? Throw me out? Thereby forcing me to announce to all in attendance that you stole that soon to be christened child from Nicole DiMera, his real mother, who thinks he died and still grieves his loss every day?

I’ll see you there. I

know you want to believe Tate, and so do I. I know. Maybe, maybe Holly isn’t right. Maybe she’s just confused. No, look, I know, I know you love Holly. I know you think of her as a daughter. And I, I love her too. And I understand why she wouldn’t want her parents to think that she’s using. But, you have to understand my kid’s in custody, Eric.

And she is putting her selfish needs to get approval from her parents ahead of my kid’s freedom.

What? What are you thinking? I talked to Holly the other day. I also felt like she might be hiding something. I just, I didn’t want to push too hard. I’ll talk to her again, I promise. You understand anything that you could do, I mean, I would be very grateful. Brady, this is all about family. I know you’d do the same for Jude.

John. I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you about what happened in Aria with Constantine and that poor girl. But like I told Marlena, I blocked it out myself for a long time.

And I just didn’t know how you’d react.

I think you knew exactly how I would react.

No more talk. About turning yourself in until you’ve had time to really think about it. No, no, no. Promise me. Promise me.

Fine.

I love you. Don’t forget that part. Are

you sure that this is what the doctor ordered? Yes. In fact, I may need a refill on this prescription. Sure. I

missed you. God, I missed you too.

Um, I’m gonna go get you. You have pain meds and you haven’t got it. And I will be right back.

I need to talk to you. I really need your help. This is not a good time. You need to go. Well, what do you know?

My would be assassin. He’s not going anywhere.

Hey Justin, what’s the news? No, I can talk. I’m just, I just finished my rounds. Oh my god! Okay, I’ll be right there.

I still don’t understand what happened, but who cares? This is the best day ever. No transplant list, no surgery, you’re going home soon. It’s a true miracle. Now, having you all here for me, now, that made all the difference too. We wouldn’t have had it any other way. And bonus, we got to see Eli and Lonnie.

Even if it did take you almost dying to get them here. Just seeing Lonnie free, when the twins, they got so big. All the four of them, they’re one big happy family again. Oh, it just warms my heart. Now, I just have to work on getting the FBI headquarters moved here to Salem. So, Eli can work locally. Well, good luck with that.

Abraham Carvel, you wouldn’t be underestimating me now, would you?

I really need to talk to you. I really need your help. This is not a good time. You need to go. Now! Well, what do you know? I would be a sassy.

And you’re not going anywhere. You would be Stefan lured me to the loading dock. Made me believe that I got a text from you. And when I got there, he shot me twice at close range. Just about as close as we are right now. You shot him? Ava, you know Clyde. He didn’t really give me a choice. You bastard! You bastard!
