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!

Oh, this was such a Such a wonderful welcome! And a very special welcome home to you, buddy. Well, I am very, very grateful because Abraham Washington Garvers Finally home! After too long, too long. So, welcome home, ladies and gentlemen.

Wow, you guys did a great job. Well, you know, most of it to this dude. He went the extra mile. A man of many talents. Well, it’s lovely, really. I tell you, what’s lovely is having so so. Very, very much to be thankful for, and also for each other.

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.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

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!

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Uh, don’t take this the wrong way, but what the hell are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on bed rest?

Yeah, I can’t watch TV and sleep all day, I’ll go crazy. Not to mention, I need to know how The hell Clyde Wesson escaped from prison?

Okay, there was a toxic spill in one of the cell blocks. And so when all the inmates had to be evacuated to the yard, when the prison guard took a head count, Clyde was MIA.

So he’s on the run. And we have no idea where the hell he is.

What were you thinking, breaking out of the halfway house like that? And then breaking into the DiMera mansion. I mean, aren’t things bad enough already?

I had to talk to Holly. I had to try to clean up this mess.

Well, this is an even bigger mess now, isn’t it? And then stealing my phone.

I’m sorry, I was desperate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s obvious, Tate. But I don’t think you’ve understood how you’ve screwed up here. You’ve not only violated a legal mandate, you could go back to jail!

Okay! Okay, I get it.

Your new lawyer’s gonna have to work some real magic to stop that from happening.

Look, I get that you guys are angry, but don’t you get that I was going out of my mind stuck in that halfway house? I had to see what Holly remembers!

Your mom and dad being mad at you is the least of your concerns. We are worried. I’m not gonna sugarcoat this for you. What you did last night was a really bad move.

I’m sorry.

Good morning. Can we come in?

Well, um, you slept in, that’s good.

Hardly slept at all, actually.

Well, you’ve had a lot on your mind.

Holly, we need to talk about last night. about Tate breaking in.

He didn’t break in, okay?

Coming onto our property and climbing into your bedroom window in the middle of the night without anyone’s permission is the very definition of breaking in.

Look, this whole thing is a huge misunderstanding. Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong. You didn’t have to have him arrested.

Would you just have me look the other way? Holly, I did what I had to do. For your safety and the safety of this family.

I’m safe. We’re all safe. EJ, please. This is ridiculous. You can’t send Tate to jail.

Alrighty. There you go.

Thanks.

I, uh, I hope I didn’t alarm you coming up to the pub like that.

By the look on your face, I think I should be alarmed. What’s going on? What do you have to tell me about John?

It’s about his past. As the pawn.

Wait, What I did to you You gotta be kidding me because you’ve been messing with me ever since that night in the park over a month ago,

ah, yes But our history did not begin one month ago You see many years ago You tore my life apart Here, look at this.

Am I supposed to know who this is because I don’t?

You don’t remember her? I find that very perplexing.

I know. Why is that?

Because you are the one who killed her.

Okay, uh, Goldman, any signs of her?

I don’t have good news on that front either. Uh, we found out that she cleaned out her bank account, about 50 grand, and so there’s no likelihood of tracking her down via credit card spending either. And we found her car, it was abandoned on the outskirts of town.

Okay, any, uh, clues in her vehicle?

Nothing. She probably swapped out her car with another one.

Yeah, or she hopped on a bus or a train.

Yeah, we’re looking into all of that right now.

Yeah, but Clyde Weston, I can’t. There’s, he had to have set this up. Goldman could not have pulled this off on her own.

I agree. I have a bolo out nationwide and border patrol on both of them.

I, I think he’s gonna stay local.

Why do you think that?

I don’t know. I just think Clyde will stay in this area to keep his eyes on his business and his people.

Yeah, well, that’s another loose end as well. Aside from Goldman, we don’t know who else was helping him.

Right. Um, thanks for the update. I gotta get going.

All right, well, get some rest.

I don’t think so.

Holly, Tate broke the law. When you break the law, there are consequences.

Honey, honey, don’t you think you’re overreacting? Just Yes, sure. Tate shouldn’t have left the center, okay? But he just wanted to talk to Holly, for God’s sake. They’re just teenagers.

Teenagers are still accountable.

Yes, but they make mistakes. They act impulsively. I mean, it’s nothing compared to what I did when I was her age. Sure, you as well.

Our childhoods have no bearing on this situation at all, Nicole.

God, you act like Tate is Loki or someone.

What?

You don’t know him at all.

I do know that he was brought to Salem after being kicked out of boarding school for vandalism, causing five figures in damages.

That was a dumb mistake. A stupid prank, but he’s not a drug dealer and I know he didn’t drug me.

Honey, how do you know that if you don’t remember anything from that night?

I know! Because Tate would never do anything like that, Mom. EJ, please, don’t send him to jail. Please.

I’ll consider the options, but I’m not making any promises.

What do I not know? About my husband.

About his past.

Tell me!

Well, as you know, I was one of the first people to encounter John when he came to Salem. Under Victor’s orders, John was in my care. He was the pawn, and I was his handler. Until he went on the run and became John Blair.

I’m aware of how he got his name. Go on.

Well, we both know the kind of guy I was back then. I still have a lot of shame knowing that I carried out Victor’s orders. Did those unethical things. He demanded of me. For money. So one day, Victor had a mission for us. For me and the pawn.

Let me tell you a story. Our story. About me and Victor Kiriakis. And the others were Steve Patch Johnson. And my beautiful, innocent daughter, Katarina. And finally you, the pawn.

What would you do? Dad? Mom? If you were stuck in some rehab facility, and Holly’s the only person that can get you out of that place. So yeah, I went to go see her. Alright. And all she had to do was tell her stupid stepfather that I had nothing to do with those drugs. And then I could have come home. I just want to come home.

Tate, we all want you to come home, but My God, you are doing so well!

Oh my God! What does that even mean? I was doing so well. Why do you keep saying stuff like that? Like, like I belong in that horrible place and like it’s actually helping me. Which it is not. It’s just painful because I don’t need that kind of help. I, I pulled a stupid prank at school in California. I admit it. But that’s it. All this crap about drugs in Salem, I didn’t do any of it. No. I’m being railroaded for a crime I did

DiMera mansion, son? Holly could have given me permission.

Did she?

Do you not understand what’s happening here? All of this snowballing into even a bigger mess.

We all want the truth, okay? We want Holly to tell the truth. But breaking the law is not the way to get it.

Why does EJ have to make such a big deal about this?

Well, I agree. He is Being a little overzealous about this whole Tate business. So I will talk to him about not sending Tate to jail

Okay, you have to mom.

Okay

She should just stay out of it Well, I mean it is his house that Tate broke into

it’s our house too mom

You’re right, but honey EJ cares about you and he’s just looking out for you

Yeah, well, he’s not my father. And if he really cares about me, he’d back off on trying to punish Tate. Because he’s a good person, Mom. Tate’s not who EJ’s making him out to be. He’s always been so nice to me, and he was really nice on New Year’s Eve. I swear. We were having a good time. That I do remember. And What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Well, I’m, I’m just wondering if you’re covering for him. So that he doesn’t get in any more trouble.

Oh my god.

Well, honey, you said he didn’t drug you. That night. And, I mean, did you just say that to get EJ off your back? Honey, look. It’s just me. You can be honest. Do you remember more about that night than you’re telling me?

Ah, Harold told me you were here.

Mr. DiMera?

Sorry to keep you waiting. I was on the phone with my officer. What brings you by, detective?

Your brother, Stefan, you know where he is?

I have no idea. I haven’t seen him in a while. Days now, in fact.

Really?

I don’t keep tabs on my family members, detective. Though I’m sure I’ll cross paths with Stefan eventually, though it is a big house. He could be in another wing, for all I know.

Hmm, yeah. Well that’s, uh, that’s quite the coincidence. I just came from the station and was just briefed on Clyde Weston’s prison break and escape, and, uh, you know, he’s fallen off the map.

Yes, I heard about it. It’s infuriating.

And now I’m here looking for your brother, and he’s disappeared too.

What exactly are you insinuating, detective?

I don’t know. I just have a hunch that Stefan had something to do with Clyde busting out of prison. And I think you know something about it.

This is part of my past. I’d just as soon forget. Now I’m, I’m being forced to confront it. Victor sent me and John to deliver a message. It was John’s first assignment as the pawn. The message was to a man who was challenging Victor’s authority.

Victor and I were always fighting over territory in the Greek crime business. He sent his pawn over to deliver me a message.

No.

Oh yes, it was you.

The message was loud and clear. Make sure this man knows that his interference will no longer be tolerated.

So John and I, Flew by private jet to Nafplion. And then rode east into Aria, a small village. We were there to find the man we know today to be Konstantin Melionis.

I told you, I don’t know what happened on New Year’s Eve, but I know in my heart Tate didn’t drug me. How many times do I have to say it?

Hey, honey, honey. I hear you loud and clear.

So you’ll talk to EJ?

I said I would.

Do you think he’ll change his mind?

Oh, I don’t know, but I will do my best, okay? So, are you hungry? Can I bring you something? Maybe grilled cheese? Okay, you got it. Oh, and uh, your school teachers sent some homework for you that I’ll bring after lunch. And maybe, if you’re up for it, we could look at some colleges online together?

Okay. College, college, I love you.

Thank you. I love you. I love you.

Fine. I’m a screw up. Are you happy? I admit it.

No, Tate, you are not a screw up.

No? Let’s see. First, I get kicked out of school, and then I get sent to jail for drug pushing.

You’re not a drug pusher.

No, but the world thinks that I am. My biggest mistake was not calling 9 1 1 as soon as I found Holly. Or even telling that cop the honest truth when she started shining that blinding flashlight in my face.

Dad, I know. All of this is very confusing. I get it. There’s nothing confusing about it, Dad. I’m just angry and scared. My life is over.

Buddy, don’t say that.

No, but it is. You just said that. You did. You said I screwed up my whole future. You think I’m a loser just like everyone else.

No, you are not a loser.

We don’t think you’re a loser. We just think that you made a mistake.

But if you make a mistake over and over and over again, doesn’t it make you a loser?

No. Son, it makes you human.

Oh my, I, I, I didn’t realize one could develop brain damage after being shot in the chest.

You’re out of your mind.

So you know nothing about Clyde Weston’s escape?

Let me remind you, Detective Harris, that I am the district attorney. Not only do I have zero knowledge of anything involving Clyde Weston, I have no idea where my brother Stefan is, as I already told you.

You’re lying.

Oh, for God’s sake. We already talked about the possibility of Stefan and Bean in cahoots with Clyde. And I told you I would throw the book at him if that turned out to be the case.

Yes, but I got a feeling that you weren’t completely transparent that day.

And I have a feeling that it is raining coconuts. Oh, whoops. Looks like we’re both wrong. Now I strongly advise you to spend your time out there going after an escaped felon rather than in here, in my home, harassing me. And when I see my brother,

or finally produce your brother,

The door’s this way.

I know Stefan’s working with Clyde.

And how the hell do you know that?

Because Stefan is the one who shot me.

Konstantin, isn’t that the name of the man who’s staying at Maggie’s house?

That’s right.

Well, I thought that he was a long time friend of Victor’s.

More like long time rival. That’s why John and I know that he’s been conning Maggie and why we’ve been trying to get him to leave town.

So you went to his house to persuade him?

Yes. And Victor called and instructed me to wait outside and watch for guards and such. Well, John confronted Konstantin.

I was sitting at my workbench carving a little wooden figurine for my Katerina when all of a sudden the door burst open and you came in. I thought that Victor would send someone. I tried to defend myself, and we struggled, and I never saw your face. Just your eyes, only your eyes that still haunt me to this very moment. Yes, you beat me and beat me. We struggled. You got the best of me. You beat me over and over until I lost consciousness. Then I heard a gunshot.

I knew the pawn wasn’t supposed to kill Konstantin. So I rushed inside to see what happened. It was hard to see at first. But then, I saw John off to the side. In a trance. He’s holding the gun.

Oh, dear God.

And I, I spotted Konstantin on the floor. Face down. Unconscious. But he was still breathing. Then I saw, a young girl lying next to him. Blood had pooled underneath her. I checked for a pulse. But she was gone.

When I woke up, you were gone. The door was open, my home was a wreck. When I finally could focus, I saw my daughter. My only child, my Katerina, on the floor, shot by you.

I’m back. I brought you chips with your grilled cheese. Polly, honey?

You can’t be serious.

We’ve charged Xander Cook with your shooting. The evidence is stacked against him.

Of course it is, because Clyde and your brother framed him, and I’m starting to think you’re in on this too.

Oh! Hey, what’s going on here?

Oh, we’re just talking shop. Is there anything you need, sweetheart?

No, not really. I was just looking for Holly.

Wasn’t she upstairs with you?

Well, she was, and I came down here to make her some lunch, and when I went back up, she was gone.

She’s probably just feeling cooped up. Check the, uh, check the grounds.

Uh, the garden. In fact, why don’t I come and help you?

No, gosh, that’s, that’s okay. I’ll find her. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. It’s nice to see you, Harris.

Well, detective, as soon as I see my brother, I promise you’ll be the first to know. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go find my stepdaughter.

Yeah, we’re not done here.

Hi. Can you help me?

Oh, Holly Jonas. Wow, it’s nice to see that you’re doing better and you’re up and about.

Thanks. Um, I need to speak with Tate Black.

Well, I’m sorry, but that’s not going to happen.

Why not?

Well, for one, he’s in interrogation with his parents right now. And for another, he is in police custody and may be charged with another felony.

So, he’s in there?

We can’t allow you to see him, Holly. He violated the terms of his release. And he broke into your house last night. But he And I also have a feeling that your mom does not know you’re here. So, why don’t you have a seat and I’ll give her a call.

Are you telling me that John killed that girl?

I didn’t see it happen. I mean, it wasn’t hard to piece together though. Marlena, John was the pawn at that time. I mean, he, he, he wasn’t even, he wasn’t considered human. He was, he was more like a tool, a weapon. An assassin.

Yeah. Look, I know that John went to Winterbourne Academy when he was younger. I know that he trained there.

Yes. Which made it very appealing to anybody. Evil bastard at the time to recruit him.

But do you think that John meant to kill that girl? It could have been an accident.

I mean, John’s brain had been scrambled, reprogrammed. I don’t know, maybe he, maybe he felt threatened in some way. Maybe he snapped. I don’t know. All I knew at that moment was, the mission was complete. Message sent. And this poor young girl was dead. So I grabbed John, took off for Salem.

I held my daughter’s lifeless body in my hands, telling her of the memories of her child stories. The memories that we made are trips we took together. She was the only thing in this world that mattered to me. The only reason I had for living. And after her funeral, I, I developed another reason to go. I brought it in plant. To undermine Victor, every chance I got. And I swore to myself that if I ever found a man who killed my daughter, that I would make, make him pay. And now, after all these years, I have finally found. You.

I thought this whole thing was behind us. But then John and I confronted Konstantin about his intentions with Maggie. Turns out to be the same man from Aria.

John’s face was covered when that girl was killed. How could Konstantin know?

He said it was his eyes.

Steve, I was John’s doctor. I was trying to help him find his identity. Why am I just hearing about this?

In trying to keep this secret from John, I just didn’t think I could tell you either. I’m sorry.

Does Kayla know?

No.

How have you been living with us all this time?

It’s a terrible memory. I kept it buried. And as you know, there were times in my life when I didn’t know who I was either. When the DiMeras had wiped my memories from me. Now, how I wish I didn’t. This whole thing had stayed in the past. I wish I could have protected my friend from the knowledge of what he did.
But then Konstantin showed up in Salem, and one of the times that John and I confronted him about Maggie, he mentioned his hometown of Aria. And it all unraveled from there.

Yes, yes, yes, John! Now do you remember?

I don’t remember! I don’t, I don’t, I don’t. But damn it, I have always had this feeling in my gut.

I hope that feeling eats you alive! And as for me, I will not rest until I get my revenge. You know, you should have killed me that day, huh? But instead you chose to murder my daughter in cold blood and for that Make no mistake. I will make you pay

So now you’re detaining me in my own home Damn it, Michaels, I could make one call and have you fired.

The secretary cannot fire a detective, only the police commissioner can. Just tell me where Stefan is and I’ll go.

Oh, for the hundredth time, I don’t know. And if I did, I’d haul his ass down here because talking to you is a colossal waste of time. Face facts, Xander Cook shot you, not my brother.

Stefan shot me, he pulled the trigger.

And what proof do you have of that? There was an eyewitness at the crime.

That would be me. I saw Stefan shoot me.

I’m not a little kid, you know.

You’re a minor.

So that means I’m allowed no voice?

Not one that loud.

Listen, Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong when he came to see me last night. He didn’t break in. I let him in. Me. I did.

Okay, settle down.

I’m telling you the truth. Why won’t you just listen to me?

Holly. She’s, she’s here to see me.

Oh, my God, there you are. Honey, what were you thinking? I’ve been worried sick.

That’s it, that girl’s done enough. I’m gonna go talk to her right now.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Nicole’s here.

I came to see Tate. I need to talk to him.

Honey, now is not the time.

Well, when is the time, Mom? When it’s too late?

You haven’t even been medically cleared to leave the house yet.

Oh, God.

Jada, thank you for calling.

Honey, we are going home. Now. I will send for someone to pick up your car later.

Thanks again, Jada.

Oh, you pulled that out of your ass. How can you prove you saw Stefan and not Xander?

Once I find your brother, you’re gonna have the proof.

You have nothing. This is a ridiculous theory.

Oh, I have my word. And that means something. I’m a detective and a Navy SEAL.

Whose brain has been scrambled so many times it could be served up with toast.

I will find Stefan. And when I do, I’m gonna take down every dirty bastard That’s involved in this mess.

That was not a good move on Holly’s part.

No, but I wish to hell that I had a chance to talk to her face to face.

Hey.

Hey. So, I have news from the DA’s office. EJ has decided not to press charges.

Thank God.

Okay, okay. So, he can go back to the halfway house.

Yes, he can, but he will be required to wear an ankle monitor to track his whereabouts.

So you can’t skip out again, Tate.

He won’t. He won’t.

And he’s not going to be there much longer.

And, uh, when Holly’s feeling better, maybe she can come visit me?

I wouldn’t count on it. The DA has also filed for a restraining order. You are not allowed within 100 yards of the DiMera mansion, Or Holly Jonas.

You chose to murder my daughter in cold blood!

John has always been afraid that he’d done unthinkable things in the past.

The man who went to Aria with me was not John, Marlena. The man we know today would never do something like that.

I know that. But you know as well as I do, that the truth would destroy him.

You knew?

John. My God.

You never said a word to me. But you told my wife.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Ah, there you are. Got up early, huh? Yes, I did. I was hoping that you had gone back to sleep since you were just tossing and turning for the one hour you were in bed last night. I’m okay. I just want to go see Tripp. I know. I know. And I do too, but there’s actually no rush. I talked to Sarah, she said they’re both resting comfortably.

And you, my lover, should take comfort in the fact that it is 100 percent thanks to you. Well, not 100%. It’s thanks to you too, sweetness.

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. Hey. Sorry to woke you. I’m sorry. Are you kidding? I am so glad to see you. How come you’re allowed out of bed? I’m not, but I know what time the shift changes. Oh, sneaky.

Whoa. Should I be jealous? Uh, your mom actually brought those. Well, I just got a muffin, so you must rate. No, I think it’s more that she feels guilty about this whole situation. Even though it’s not really her fault. Yeah, I feel guilty too. You? Why? Well, like I said, we were stuck in that tank. If you had just gone back to China when your parents wanted you to,

Gwendy, My mom didn’t mean for any of this to happen to us. I, I know she didn’t and she’s obviously horrified that it did. But with her, History has a way of repeating itself.

I just don’t think I could live with myself if something like this happened again.

Abe, we got your text. I knew we shouldn’t have gone home last night. Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay. He needed to grab a few hours sleep. Okay, so, Mama flatlined, but now she’s doing better. Well, you’ll find out for yourself soon. I just don’t get it. I thought the only possible treatment for Paulina was a heart transplant.

Oh, that’s what we all thought. So then, what happened last night? Yeah, I don’t know if I can explain it. If I didn’t know better, I might think I dreamed the whole thing.

Mama?

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

Oh my god, Eli. Hey baby, look, let’s not jump to conclusions, alright? I’m sure if something had changed, your dad would have let us know. Dad, where’s mom? Well, uh, they took her out for some tests, just to see if she’s as good as she feels. Okay.

Oh, well. Oh, hello. All of my favorite people. It looks like your adoring family has returned in full force. Oh, Mama, you look so much better. Well, now, I would normally be offended by that statement, but I will accept it as a compliment and say that I do feel so much better too. Thank God. So what’s the verdict?

Well, there were no arterial blockages, no arrhythmias. Her heart tissue appears healthy, defying all medical explanation. Defying medical explanation. So you’re saying that you guys don’t have any idea of what happened to bring her back. To make her heart strong again. No. It’s nothing short of a miracle.

Tripp. It is not your job to keep me safe. Okay? I don’t need your mother’s help. To get into trouble. I do that pretty regularly myself, and, and, you know, I’m pretty damn good at getting myself out of it, too. So, I mean, not to brag, but, um. You know, you’re the reason that my dad found us before we ran out of air in that beer tank.

Yeah, I am. But you, you’re the one who kept us sane. Your brilliant, fake it till you make it, advice.

And you know, everything that happened last night, before we were running out of air, I remember that really clearly, but The last part is kind of blurry. Like, maybe I’m I imagined the whole thing. Well, when you run out of oxygen, the brain generates its own sensory inputs. Meaning what? Wait, are you telling me maybe I did imagine some of it?

I don’t understand. How could I possibly be responsible for saving Wendy and Tripp? Well, for one thing, I never would have learned CPR unless you taught me. And you made me take that refresher course a few months ago. Well, I’m happy that you mastered CPR, but you were giving me way too much credit. No, that’s not all.

I never would have picked up on Wendy’s clue in the hostage video if I hadn’t learned ASL with you all those years ago. I thought you said that there were no clues in that video. Well, we didn’t think so at first. But then I finally figured out that Wendy was making the sign for beer. You’re welcome.

Okay, I had to check online to make sure, to confirm it. For some reason, that was a sign I remembered. I wonder why. Yeah. Well anyway, after I got that Wendy was signing the word for beer, John honed in on the wall behind the kids. The configuration, the materials. And suddenly it clicked that they were in a brew tank.

So we hightailed it out to the old brewery, past the airport. That is crazy. Well, I guess it’s lucky that you remembered sign language. It’s very lucky. I just wish I’d picked up on that clue sooner, so we wouldn’t have come so close to losing those kids. Yeah, but look. Wendy and Tripp are doing great.

They’re safe, and they’re okay. Yeah. Okay, what else? Obviously, you were worried about something else. Weston broke out of Statesville, as you know. Yeah, and it’s awful, but there was nothing that you could do. Okay, what else? I don’t know. It’s just the whole, the whole nightmare. I mean, Ava getting involved with that son of a bitch in the first place and nearly getting her son killed.

And there’s that con man Constantine trying to bilk Maggie out of the Kyriakos fortune. Not to mention Abe still has amnesia. Paulina is in the hospital dying of heart failure. Well, I hate to interrupt your litany of bad news, but um, Paulina is not dying of heart failure. What? Yeah, it’s crazy. I just was talking with Sarah and she said against all odds, Paulina’s heart is functioning normal and she’s just back to normal.

Really? Yeah. How is that possible? I don’t know. But you know, my mom would say, chalk it up to the power of prayer and love. And I, you know, I’m gonna go with that because Paulina certainly has a lot of both of those things. Yeah. Wow. That’s fantastic news. They must be so relieved. Yeah, I would think so. So, you see, things were rough last night, but this morning, we have so much to be thankful for and grateful for.

Yes. Yes, we do. You hear that, Mama? It’s a miracle. Your medical mystery. A mystery I am not interested in solving. Because I do not want to jinx you. There is no way you are going to jinx it. We have you back and we are never letting you go again. And, um, Yeah. Well, my darling, there is, um, another very important miracle to celebrate, aside from my miracle, uh, and also my beautiful Lonnie finally being free and my beautiful Chanel being a happy newlywed.

You two can finally go on your honeymoon. Have You know, we actually haven’t even thought about that with everything that’s been going on. Yeah, and I wouldn’t really feel comfortable going too far right now. You, you understand that, right John? Yeah, yeah, of course I do. So, Mama, you said that there was another miracle that we had to celebrate?

Um, well, uh, That is, uh, My Abraham finally has his memory back. What? Dad! Is that true? Yes, yes it is. And I’m very happy to say that I remember everything. And I remember the day I found out that you were my daughter. And even though eventually I found out that You weren’t mine biologically. I still, I still felt so much for you.

And I always will, and I am so proud to be your father.

I love you, Dad. I have no words.

Oh, you know what else? I am so Well, my wonderful wife. I mean, I I remember falling in love with you for the first time. And I’m so happy that I got to fall in love with you all over again.

Wow, this is a, uh, this is a beautiful moment. Um, I gotta say, as much as I love my family, uh, well, most of them anyway. As most people know, the DiMeras, we’ve, we’ve had the devil in our midst, but man, the Carvers, I swear you guys must have an angel. Yes, we do. My

memory’s pretty hazy from last night, too, so What do you think happened? Well, I

I figured I’d find you in here. You gonna kick me out? Well, actually, I’ve broken so many rules today already. I let five people into a room that should have only had two people max. So, I might as well break another rule. But do me a favor and just sit, please. Sit. Is it okay if I listen to you as long as Wendy?

Yeah, yeah, I have had it. Alright, sit forward for me. Deep breath.

You know, I thought that we would have so much to celebrate when I got released from prison. But then Eli’s family house practically burned down to the ground and Mom, you were so sick and ugh. I guess I was just really afraid that this would not be a happy visit. Oh, we are on a major role with the good news.

We are

Oh, I’m sorry. I gotta take this call. Um, we’ll be back with a surprise or two. Okay, well you know I like surprises, so hurry back. I think I know exactly what those two surprises are. Oh! Hi! It’s our anniversary, buddies! Yeah, we haven’t seen you since you tied the knot. Congratulations, you two. Thank you. I hear you got some good news about your mom, Chanel.

Oh, yes. Did we ever. Well, we are on our way to see her. Uh, these are for her. This one’s for her. And this one’s for Tripp and Wendy. Oh! What, uh, what are they celebrating? Haven’t you heard? What? Yeah, they, uh, they got caught up in something that had nothing to do with them. They were held hostage. What? Yeah, it was a close call, but they were rescued by Steve and John, and now they’re in the hospital recovering.

Well, you know, it actually sounds like there weren’t three miracles, but there were four. Four? Yeah. Because you have Mama’s miraculous recovery, Lonnie being free, and then Wendy and Tripp, and Abe. Hey, what about Abe? He, uh, he got his memory back. What? Yeah. When did that happen? Uh, right after Mama’s heart started beating again, and now he says he remembers everything.

Wow. I mean, what a relief that must be for Abe, and Paulina, and, and your entire family. Yeah, and you had a lot to do with it. All those hours you worked with him, they really paid off. Well, I think you’re giving me too much credit. Really, you all did an amazing job. You were so supportive and encouraging.

Wow. I mean, for somebody to get their memory back like that’s so sweet. Suddenly and completely? That is very unusual. Yeah. It seems like everything about yesterday was unusual.

Her blood gases look good. Are her lungs still clear? You know, I really can’t hear anything if you’re talking. Sorry. Um, I take it that you looked at her chart? I did, yeah. And your own?

Man, they say that doctors are the worst patients, but you are in a league all your own. Have you met this one? Ah, from the family. Definitely. Are you supposed to be out of bed? No, he isn’t. No, but Tripp and I are feeling much better today. That’s what we like to hear. Yeah, but I would like to hear it from the actual doctor who’s on duty, if that’s okay.

How are they doing? Uh, well, they’re Levels are good and they’re stable. They definitely look a lot better than when they came in. Great. Yeah, well, Wendy, these are for you. Oh, beautiful. Thank you so much. Yeah, open them over here. Wow, look at this arrangement. Lovely. Yeah, from my mom. Oh. Uh, Kayla, if you have a minute, I’d love to chat with you about something.

Sure. Yeah, of course. Okay, we’ll be back in a few. Okay. So, Your mom was already here this morning, huh? Was she here to spin her side of the story? Dad, I know you’re angry. Okay, I am too. But, Clyde dragged her into this. She had no choice. Trip, People died because of those tainted drugs she was running through the bistro.

You and Wendy could have died.

Mom was trying to protect us. Okay, she begged us to leave Salem. She wanted us to move to China when Wendy’s family wanted us to. But I couldn’t leave her here to let her deal with this on her own. Hold on. You knew your mom was involved in that drug operation? Since when? Answer me, Tripp. How long have you known and why didn’t you tell me?

I guess we’re not gonna tell the kids about Lexi. They wouldn’t believe us. That my first wife appeared to us from the afterlife. And miraculously healed us both. Well, I may have had a few drugs in me and you’re still on the mend from a traumatic brain injury. But I am quite sure, quite sure that you and I both didn’t imagine the same thing.

Thank you. But, I wonder Go on, go on. I, uh, I wonder if you’re getting back some memories of me. Might cause you to, uh, to wonder why you’re with me. What? Well, you, you’re, you’re remembering all the lies I told, right? All the problems I’ve caused. Yes. Let me tell you something, Mayor Price Carver. You are a complicated, amazing woman.

And most people have never had what I’ve had once, let alone twice. And I can’t, I just can’t wait to spend the rest of these years making new memories with you. Hmm. Yeah. Uh, thank you. No, I appreciate it.

Well? The FBI approved my status change to part time special agent. So now I get to consult with the DOJ. They gave me everything that I asked for and more. Ah. That’s because you are the best. Hmm, I’m so proud of you. Oh, now you know what that means. More money, and I get to spend more time with you and our precious twins.

And less time in harm’s way. Yeah, if I take the job. Wait, what? Eli, this is everything that you’ve always wanted. Except it’s in DC. I mean now that we’re back at home with family. I don’t know how I feel about leaving. You?

I don’t know either.

Dad the reason I didn’t tell you about mom’s situation is because I knew you would go ballistic and I know that’s not an excuse. I just I I’m, sorry, you’re right. That’s not an excuse But i’m not mad at you I’m angry with your mother. And I understand why you’re defending her. Because you’re a good son.

I’m just grateful you’re both okay. Son, I was scared. I was so scared when I couldn’t get you to breathe. And I know I broke your rib. I felt a crack. I’m sorry. No, it was a minor crack, okay? It’ll heal quickly. Listen, you did everything right. I’m sorry. It’s very common for someone’s rib to get cracked when you’re using the force that’s needed for CPR.

You saved my life, so a sore rib is a very small price to pay. I’m so grateful for you. I love you, buddy. I love you, too. Oh,

my darling. You know, I, I still, I still feel like, well, like, I’m in a dream. Sitting here with my husband, who now has, has his memories back. And, uh, most of them with me are, Beautiful and perfect, right? You’re suppressing the ones that aren’t. Definitely, definitely. No, seriously, seriously, Abraham. I, I’ve dreamed of this for so many months, though.

Having you back. 100%.

Oh, I’m now, oh my god. Thank Lexi. We will be making many, many more beautiful and perfect memories together.

Hey. Hi. There they are. The sweet bits. Yeah. I hope we’re not interrupting. No, we actually were just on our way to go see your mom down the hall. Yeah. Hey, Chanel. Johnny. Hey, you guys. Hey, it’s good to see you both. Yeah, we’re so glad to see that you’re doing okay. Well, we’ll let your kids visit. Do you need anything from home?

Either one of you? No. Thank you. I’ve, uh, got everything I need right here. Me too. All right. Well, we’ll see you all later then. Bye bye. Later. Thanks for everything. Yeah. So, Chanel, how’s your mom doing? Well, the past few weeks have been really rough on her, which is an understatement. But, um, now she’s, she’s doing much better.

Oh, that’s great to hear. Yeah. And you, uh, looks like you’ve kept up with the dangerous capers, your new partner in crime. New and improved. Yeah, well, this most recent caper was definitely one for the ages, but we’re fine, thank God. You’re welcome. Chanel, is that a wedding ring? Oh, yeah, yeah, it is. Johnny and I actually got married in my mom’s hospital room on Valentine’s Day.

Congratulations! Oh my god, you guys! Yeah, husband and wife, huh? Yeah, you know, for better, for worse, etc, etc. Oh, that is such great news. I’m so happy for you. You’re here. Congratulations.

I always knew you two would wind up together. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. So? It would seem as though we are all exactly where we belong. Well.

I don’t know if I’ve said it often enough or loud enough or even at all, but Kayla, Steve, thank you for all that you’ve done for us. Letting Abe stay with you while he was trying to figure things out and reintroducing him to the life he lived before the accident. And not to mention the Wonderful medical attention you gave us, Kayla.

Mm hmm. Well, you know, I’m not sure that it was the medical attention that cured Paulina or got your memory back. And guess what? You’ve thanked us more than enough. Oh, no, no, no, no. Never, never enough. You are our great and gracious friends. And I appreciate your, your kindness and your hospitality. But you are losing me as a house guest.

So, does this mean you’re moving back in with your lovely wife? Well, if, if she’ll have me. Let me think about it. Oh, I think, okay. I think I can put up with you again. Are you sure about that? Yes, yes, I am sure. If you can, you know, think you can put up with me again, smothering you with all the love and attention, you think that you can handle that?

Well, I look forward to it. And the reciprocating. Well, as sorry as we are to lose you as a roommate, we are so thrilled for both of you, really. Hey, and how about To make the transition easier for us, you come to dinner as soon as you’re out of the hospital. Ah, great idea. We’ll have just a big celebration.

Champagne, confetti, the works. Oh, honey, honey, we are there. Let’s just hope it’s soon. Oh, gosh, yes, of course. I am so happy for all my friends. Wow, wow, wow. Amazing. Love you guys.

Wow, another wedding. What do you mean, another one? Well, um, Before Dr. Horton and your parents came in, we were talking about last night. About what we remembered, and Oh, it’s my mom. Well, she obviously got my voicemail. No, I’m gonna go. Please don’t.

Why

Cher? The Cher

Shut? Mama

Does she just hang up on you? Yeah, sort of. She’s mad that she heard about my near death experience from the news, not accounting for the time difference or my being unconscious, but arguing with her would’ve gotten me nowhere. So she was probably just worried about you. Especially what happened to your brother.

I mean, your parents would be devastated if something happened to you. No, I know.

When Johnny was talking about our old capers, it made me realize I’ve been scared before. I’m never as scared as I was last night. But at the same time,

I never felt as safe as I did in your arms.

These are for the staff. A variety of croissants and donuts. I didn’t steal one of these before anybody else gets to them. Go for the almond croissant. I will go for the almond croissant. Thank you so much. Also, hey, I was thinking about what you guys said earlier about, um, a honeymoon and not wanting to go.

so much. Super far away. Mm hmm. You could always honeymoon at the Horton Cabin. I mean, it’s not a 5 star hotel, let me tell you that much, but it is private and very cozy. Well, private and cozy sounds pretty good to me. Uh, if you’re sure. No, I’m sure. I wouldn’t have offered otherwise. Okay. Uh, well then, what do you say, Chanel?

I say that as soon as we get mama home and all settled in, then let’s do it. Oh, Lonnie. Oh, I was hoping that would be my surprise. Those little angels or my beautiful grandbabies. We’re all Too excited to see their grandma running around this room like, like little chickens with their head cut off and crying when I don’t let them jump on the bed with you.

Well, I love seeing them running around. Oh, y’all don’t even mind all these little Goldfish cracker crumbs in my bed. I was just thrilled to have some time with our precious Jules and Carver. All right. Well, Carver and Jules are at the park with Grandma Julie, who was kind enough to meet me there. Well, I was hoping that they could, you know, could have stayed a little bit longer, but maybe you’ll bring them back later.

Definitely. Well, I do, I admit. I’m very envious of great grandma Julie getting to babysit those sweethearts. But when I finally get to go home, you’re gonna have to let this grandma make up for you lost time with those two. Well, well, why don’t you say anything, Lonnie? Look, you don’t want me to babysit them.

No, no, Mom. No, that is not what I said. That’s not it at all. I mean, if we were going to stay here in Salem, then yes, you would get to watch them all the time. If you were going to stay in Salem? I guess dad didn’t tell you about Eli’s potential job offer in D. C.? You did not? I didn’t think you needed to know.

Because Lonnie said it was only a Potential job offer. Okay, so Tell me now It would be a great opportunity for Eli mama, but We know that you love having us here in Salem, and we love being here But, you’re going. Only if you will truly be happy for us, Mama. And if not, we’ll stay here. But, you just, you say the word.

Oh, no, no, no. Don’t, don’t put this on me. Mama, we mean it. If you don’t want us to go Of course But, oh, okay.

Kay, I know you have to do what’s right for your family. I just, you know, hope you have a guest room there in D. C. Cause when I finally get that green light to travel I’ll be there as often as I can. You’ll be just sick to death of me. Never. Are we interrupting something? What’s going on? We’re starving.

What’s going on? Where have you two been? Oh, we just took a little detour. Three, two, one. What are you doing? Just waiting for someone else to barge in, or the phone to ring, or a nurse to come and check our vitals. Yeah. I think that we might actually be safe. It might just be you and me. For one minute, at least.

Oh, well, then we’ve been working a lot.

Now, uh, where were we? What were we talking about? Oh, um. Well, we were talking about what we thought we remembered from our ordeal in the beer tank, you know. When we were struggling to breathe. Right. So I thought I remembered. But I was so out of it, who knows. Tell me what you remember.

Okay. I will.

Trip, did you really propose to me last night?

Jules and Carver were here. They were indeed. Your very adorable niece and nephew. Yeah, okay, very adorable and very rambunctious. Eli had to whisk them away and drop them off with a Julie. Ah, well, we’ll see them later.

Sorry to interrupt. Oh, no, no, no. You are not interrupting. When can I go home, Sarah? Well, your blood work is still looking great and your incision is healing nicely. So if you keep on this path, you may be discharged as early as tomorrow. What about today? She drives a tough bargain. You still have to follow up with your oncologist and your endocrinologist.

So the whole ordeal isn’t quite over yet. But The end is most definitely in sight.

Hey John, give me a call man. We need to talk about the fallout from Weston’s escape.

Hey, lover. Okay, I’m ready to go. I was just in with the most amazing patient who is making an excellent recovery, so Ah. What’s going on? Just Clyde Weston’s escape from prison. It’s still eating at me. I mean, not only did Tripp and Wendy suffer through that ordeal because of him. My God, that monster killed our niece.

Kidnapped you and Joe. And he’s out there somewhere planning God knows what. Yeah, no doubt. Well, you know what? He is going to be found and brought back to prison. It’s just a matter of time. Yeah, well, that son of a bitch better damn well hope that the police get him before I do.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. You are at my place. Remember? I brought you here last night. Yeah. Yeah. I slept on the couch. Sorry, I took your bed. No, don’t pee. I didn’t hear a peep out of you all night. I assume you got some rest. Yeah. Good. How you feeling? Like I got hit by a truck. Coffee smells really good though. And fresh algae.

You’re spoiling me. That’s what friends are for.

That was really tough to see. I know. Our beloved home in ashes and cinders. It was a blow, a blow to all of us. Well, the blessing is that you all made it out alive. Absolutely. But what kind of a criminal, what kind of a sociopath sets fire to a house with, with innocent people inside? The worst kind. Look, I just really hope that this investigation produces some solid leads.

I’m not holding my breath. But we’re moving forward. Yeah. Gonna restore, repair, rebuild, refurbish. I’m excited about that. So tell me, what’s up with this mysterious time capsule? Oh, the message from my grandparents. It’s great, but we have no idea what the message is. I’m sure they didn’t intend for us to find out by setting the house on fire.

So, what do you think will happen first? The house will get finished or you’ll find the key to this time capsule? Time will tell. Tell me some more about Polina. Yep, she does not need a heart transplant, really. They’re keeping under close surveillance, but no, it’s a miracle. It’s a do over. Abe got his memory back.

Yes, yes, you should see Abe. I mean, he is practically dancing on air. His smile, it could light up a city. Always could. Yeah. I mean, we go back a long way, and Speaking of Abraham and Paulina, you know what they just love? They love having you and Lonnie and the twins around. I love that so much. Do you suppose there’s any chance in the world that you would move back to Salem?

Um, sorry, Grandma, but No. It’s not gonna happen.

Those are so delicious. Thank you for making these again for the kids. They couldn’t get enough of them, and neither could I. You know, creating culinary delights is one of my great joys. Be careful. You might get a permanent job here. Fortunately, it would be a lot easier, though, I think. One house has been filled to the brim with guests.

Oh, I love it. It’s wonderful to have all four children running around. It makes me feel like a real papu. I always hoped for grandchildren. Alas, it was never meant to be.

I’m so sorry about your daughter, Constantine. What a terrible tragedy. You know, it is not true what they say that time heals all wounds. Not for me. You see, I miss her more, not less, as time goes on.

Thank you, Nora. Are you sure that you’re up for this? What, breakfast with Eric? Yeah, why wouldn’t I be? Well, you’ve been through so much with Steve lately. Um, I don’t know. How are you sleeping? Not well as I understand. You still having those nightmares?

They’re getting worse, in fact. I’m not too surprised. Having to save Wendy and Tripp from that tank. Bring them back from the From the edge of death.

Not to give anybody nightmares, I’m I’m imagining that triggered a lot of your own bad memories. Yeah, it did, it did. And you know what, I’d rather not talk about it right now, is that okay? Sure. Anytime you’re ready. I’ll let you know, okay? Sure. Let’s not keep Eric waiting.

Well, how is my grandson doing? Oh, you’re talking about the most beautiful kid in the world? That is the one. He’s been fantastic. He’s holding his head up now. Like a champ. Hey, thank you for your help with Lucas. Yeah, of course. So is there any chance of him coming out of hiding soon? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but, uh, with Clyde out of prison, I’d rather he just stay put.

Yeah, I can’t believe Clyde escaped. I mean, how could that even happen? With a whole lot of serious help from outside. Missing Salem Dr. Tripp Johnson and Salem Police Tech Specialist Wendy Shin rescued at Salem’s Old Brewery on the outskirts of the city. Thank God. Kidnapper identified but nowhere to be found.

An investigation is underway to determine whether the incident is linked to the Statesville prison escape of notorious criminal Clyde Weston. Son of a bitch. Like

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

So, any news on Tripp and Wendy? Well, I was at the hospital earlier. And? And, they’re doing pretty well, all things considered. You know, we got there just in time, I implied. Leaving them to die, and then that crooked cop. I mean, Goldman fooled everybody. I swear to God, if I ever get my hands on either one of them, I am going Get in line.

What about, what about the manhunt? Any news on, um, where our modern day Bonnie and Clyde might be? Not that anyone’s shared with me. And that escape. I mean, Clyde, he had to have outside help, but I don’t think Goldman could have pulled it off alone. Do you think Stephan had something to do with this?

Stephan? Why would you think that? I mean, we both know Clyde had Stephan under his thumb. Yeah. Um.

I don’t think that, um, Steppen had anything to do with it. I mean, and besides, I mean, what is he going to know about pulling off a prison break, huh?

All right, you know, time to take your pills. Oh, okay. Thank you, Nurse Nightingale. Yeah, wait, wait, wait. Nurse Nightingale, really? Yeah, I had to, uh, read, uh, her biography. I think it was, uh, sixth grade. I don’t know, something just Stuck with me about her story. You know, she was a strong, empowered woman. It was a compliment.

I took it as such. Now stop stalling and take your meds, Commander. Very good.

Grandma, I was waiting to tell you this, but I got a promotion. A promotion? A big one. A lot more responsibility. I’ll be working with the FBI and the DOJ. Which means I’ll be doing a lot more traveling, domestically and internationally. Is this something you want? Absolutely. Yes. Oh, my beautiful, brave grandson.

I’m so incredibly proud of you. Thank you. But I’m proud of you. I mean, the way you’ve been handling this house fire, you’re incredibly strong. The way you handle everything, you’re so brave. It’s the family that makes me brave. Oh, darling. Go tell Doug about this promotion. Oh, this is so funny.

Your compassion touches me.

I, I, I know what it’s like to lose a child. I’ve lost two, as you know. But you still have your wonderful Sarah. Yeah, she’s a blessing. Yes. Although I do think I interfere in her life too much. I, uh, I focus too much on her. Yeah. Now that her sister and brother are gone. Well, I doubt that. Sarah adores you.

Then again, who doesn’t?

What are you thinking? Oh,

I’m just, you know, I’m, I’m reminded of, um, the power of touch. Um, I’ve read a lot of articles lately about how important it is for everyone later, you know, in their later years. That touch can be the most powerful ways to communicate emotion.

I’m grateful to you, Constantine, and not just for the comfort of our hands touching, but also all the stories that you told me about Victor, and then the latest story about your daughter. Katerina,

you’ve touched my heart. Oh, you have touched me as well, Maggie. I cherish our friendship.

I cherish you. You

are a very special woman, Maggie. Well, I’m, I’m, uh, I’m grateful that I’m special in your eyes. However, I must be honest. As much as I’ve tried to fight it, as much as I hoped that this guilt would eventually subside, it hasn’t.

Constantine being close to another man, to someone other than my husband, my late husband at that, I feel Like it’s a betrayal. I feel like I’m betraying Victor.

Maggie, did you not tell me that Victor loved you deeply, unselfishly? So, why would he want you to continue in life without being cherished?

Victor not want you to be happy?

Did I hurt, oh, did I hurt you? No. No. No, it only hurts, uh, when I move. Talk or breathe. Not when you snore. Wait, don’t do that. Don’t make me laugh. That hurts. Sorry. What are you doing? Oh God. It’s okay. It’s as good as any nurse at the hospital. So thank you. I really appreciate it. Yeah. I Thank you. You have to take that.

Might be a trip. Uh, hello? Can you talk? Uh, well, I’m in the middle of something right now. Well, wrap it up as soon as you can. We need to meet face to face. Okay. When? One hour. I’ll be at my office, waiting. Okay, good. I will, uh, I’ll see you then. Okay, I am going to go meet Steve and we’re going to go visit Tripp together.

So, um, you’re going to be okay for a few hours by yourself? I made it this far. Yeah. Call me if you need anything, alright?

Oh, um, I’m so happy you both made it. Hey, so are we. Hey, hey. Buddy. Please, join us. It is great to be celebrating something positive for a change. And, we do have a lot to celebrate. Yes, we do. Matter of fact, last night when we were getting ready to go to bed, Abe called. I mean, that voice sounded just like the Abe we’ve all known and loved for all these years.

Yeah, he left me a message, and you could hear it in his voice how relieved he was to be himself again. Yeah. I’ve checked on Paulina. She’s doing amazingly well. Just blessings and miracles. Yes, and now a christening of our own little blessing and miracle. Jude Verdi. You know, Joan and I would love to host a little celebration after the ceremony, if that’s alright with you.

That’s very thoughtful, Mom. But Nicole’s already offered to host a party at the DiMera mansion. Oh. I hope that’s okay. I’m just surprised. No, I think it’s a great idea. It’s larger than the townhouse. Alright, any, any thoughts about godparents? Yes, actually. Sloan, she asked Melinda Trask to be godmother.

Really? Well, they’ve gotten really close lately. I mean, she was the one who found Jude for us. Oh, of course. But I do plan on asking Brady to be Godfather. Oh, that’s nice. I’m sure he’ll be stoked about that. Yeah, I hope so. John, you look beat. I don’t know, why wouldn’t you? Trip, Wendy, damn. That was some rescue.

Yeah, you’re a real hero, John. No, no, no, no, no hero here. Far from it. You know, I have been meaning to ask you, with that beautiful red mane of yours, are you of Irish descent? Hmm? Actually, I have no idea. My parents, um, they died when I was quite young. I grew up on a farm and I never knew any of my other biological relatives.

My main name is Simmons. Um, it could be Irish, I guess. Or Welsh. Or Scottish. Definitely Anglo Saxon. Yeah. Well, maybe I should have my DNA tested. Oh, , be careful. You never know who you might end up having as a relative. I myself believe I am a descendant of Les and the, the son of Zeus, the, the king of Gods.

Um, but then again, I, I could be a descendant of Hades and we know who He’s the ruler of . Well, although wherever we’re descendant from you and I. It doesn’t affect anything, does it? I mean, you can’t change the past. No, you can’t change it.

Sometimes there is something in our past that is so foul, we will never ever forget it.

Yes, send the arrangement to Paulina Price. The mayor, yes. And sign the card. Um, nothing but goodness and love. Maggie Kiriakis. That’s right. Thank you. Is your friend allowed to have flowers now? Oh yeah, she is. And she happens to love orchids. Oh my goodness! Come in! Have you had breakfast? Oh, we have blueberry muffins and sweet bits.

Mmm, well then come and sit down. Oh no, I can’t. I’m actually here just to pack our things. We leave this afternoon. Oh, you’re leaving so soon? Well, he has to because he has a wonderful new job. Tell him, tell him about the promotion. Tell. Well, for one, I’ll be spending a lot more time on international cases.

Impressive. With whom? Uh, the FBI. I’m a federal agent. Yes, he’s been a federal agent for a long time, but he’s done so well that he has been moved up. And he is going to have a new job with a great deal of promotion. Power and responsibility. He’s gonna rid the whole world of evil. Okay, Grandma. Anyone can do it.

You can’t, Eli.

You know, maybe Jude can wear the same christening gown that you wore when you were a baby. You still have it? Of course I do. It’s in a, in a bin in the basement. I’ll make sure I pull it out. Oh. Hey! Wow, looky here. Steve, sit, join us. We’re helping Harry plan Jude’s christening. Oh, well, you know, I’d love to join in on that, but, um, actually I saw John’s car outside.

We have a couple of things to discuss about a case. You mind if I borrow him for an hour or two? No, just return him in one piece. Hey, Steve, we’ll see you at the christening moment. I wouldn’t miss it.

So what’s up? Ava’s meeting us at the office in 20 minutes.

I trust you, Ava. I do, but dammit, you’re up to something. I know you are.

Grandma, it takes a hell of a lot more than one person to rid the world of evil. Don’t sell yourself short. You wouldn’t have this responsibility if you weren’t the best of the best. Okay. Spoken like a true loving and biased grandmother. You have made your family very proud, Eli. I I must be going. It was lovely to meet you and your lovely wife and children.

And, uh, I have to make a call to Greece before it’s too late in the evening.

We heard about Paulina’s recovery. Abe must be over the moon. He is. Uh, Lonnie, Schnell, I mean, we all are. Yeah. And I heard about Abe, too. He remembers everything. He does. It sucks that we can’t spend more time with them, but with this new job, I gotta get back to D. C. Yeah. But I’m thrilled that we’re leaving happy and not heartbroken.

Thank God. Thank you again, Maggie, for taking a sit. We really appreciate it. That’s Maggie’s new occupation. She’s running the Kiriakis Mansion bed and breakfast for displaced loved ones. Hey, hey, I am delighted with this new occupation. And I’m so happy that you came back, all of you. Please, I love being surrounded by family.

Come on, Rafe, nothing? Seriously, no leads? I mean, what about past hideouts or places Clyde used to visit? Okay, okay, just please call me if there’s any news. Thank you.

Well, there she is. Okay, let’s make this quick. I want to check in on Tripp and then I got some things I need to take care of. Then let’s get down to work. Okay. Yeah, speaking of which, after that stunt you pulled, we’re just lucky no one’s on to us. Everyone assumes Officer Goldman engineered Weston’s escape.

What he has over her, I can’t imagine. Oh, well, from what it looked like at the airfield, she’s his girlfriend. What? I didn’t see that coming. Okay, okay, okay, did you see anything else? I mean, did they say or do anything that would indicate where they’re headed or what their plans are? No, no, nothing, okay?

Just that monster was taunting me about my son being dead. Oh, my God. You realize that we’re in this mess because we trusted you, right? We didn’t expect you to stab us in the back. Okay, you know what? Get off your high horse, both of you, okay? You double crossed me first. The original plan was we were going to bust Weston out of prison and then let him go, so I just went back to the original plan.

Besides, We had no choice. There’s always a choice. Okay, well, you know what? Weston’s in the wind now. Nothing we can do. That doesn’t make it okay.

I can’t do this, man. We gotta make this right. I can’t live with myself. Knowing that SushiPath is out there destroying people’s lives because of us. I’m with you. You know, just a mere fact that we assisted in a prison escape. We scratched that. We didn’t assist in anything. We made it happen. No, it’s wrong.

It’s wrong. And it’s not what we do. Oh, so holier than thou. Okay, you know what? We have all three done things that we are not proud of. Okay? Some really bad things. Yeah, some really bad things. But those things are in the past. Not the past. John.

You okay?

Alright, the car’s all packed up. I’m picking Lonnie and the twins up at the hospital. Oh my goodness, it was wonderful to see you all. Please, please come back soon. I will, and you know I’m going to keep sending you pictures. You’d better. Grandma.

So proud of you. Just about to burst. And so happy. That your family’s all united and, and you know that’s the way it should be. Yeah, so am I. I love you. I love you. See you later. Bye.

Oh, oh Maggie. Uh, I know you have a million people living in this house right now, but without Eli and his family it’s gonna be a, an empty place for me and

Do I sound silly? Not at all. I know what it’s like to live in a house full of people. And still feel lonely.

Fatherhood looks good on you. Well, I’m fulfilled. It’s just, you know, June and I have an amazing connection and I just, I just really love that feeling. I’m so glad to hear that. Sloane, how is she? Um What? What did I miss? Go ahead, tell Dad. I had supper at their house a little while back and She got bombed.

Sloane got ways to that. Look, it isn’t so crazy unusual. I mean, she’s got a very taxing, demanding job. But she’s trying to be a perfect mom. What else is there? Well, I, it’s just sometimes I think she gets jealous of Jude. Oh. Have you two had that conversation? Yeah, I tried to explain it to her. It’s, I just, okay, maybe I am a bit obsessed with Jude.

I mean, I hate letting him cry or being apart from him. I understand that. Yeah, have I ever thanked you too? For what? Just being amazing parents, to me, you know. For being loving and so kind. You made it so easy, you always have. And you have thanked us. Many, many times in fact. But, Always nice to hear.

Voicemail. Again. Stefan! Quit blowing me off, okay? You call me, or you fine me. If you don’t, you’re not gonna like what I’m gonna do.

Right, no one but the three of us can ever know that we were behind the prison break. Oh yeah? Well, there’s still the issue of your mob pals helping us out. Okay, don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it. You keep saying that, Ava. But what’s it really gonna cost you? Whatever the price is, it is worth it because we saved our son.

Okay? Are we done here? For now. I’m going back to the hospital. Alright, I’ll head out with you. You coming, John? I’ve got a few things I need to follow up on here. Okay. You take it easy, man. Yeah, you too.

I need to see you. Copy to Oblige, where are you? Black Patch. I’ll be right there.

Hey, what’s up with John? Not sure what you mean. Really? Okay, well, you know, you know him a lot better than I do, but sometimes it seems like he just checks out. Yeah, well, I’ve known John for over 30 years, and sometimes he’s a mystery even to me. Yeah, right. Okay. Um, hey, you know, uh, By the way,

You know when you pulled Trip out of the beer tank, and he wasn’t breathing, I, uh, I just about stopped breathing too. But we brought him back. No, you didn’t. You did, so thank you. I am incredibly grateful to you, and I just hope that you know that. I do. And hey, we, we got Wendy to thank too for being smart with that sign language.

Yeah, she’s a very smart, smart young lady, that’s for sure. Look, look, I know, I know that you, you disapprove of the way that I handle things. Okay, no, forget that. It’s an understatement. You, you, you hate the way I handle things, but look, I just need you to know that the safety trip was the only thing that was on my mind.

Okay, hey, boo. I didn’t mean to drag you into this mess, you know that, right? But if you had just trusted me, maybe John and I could have saved him. Without letting Weston go. Yeah, or maybe not.

Okay. Agree to disagree. You’re going to the hospital. Yeah, maybe a little later. I just have a few things I need to check on at the house first.

Been a while since I’ve caught up with you. So, as they say in New Jersey, How you doing?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What do you mean, you can’t? You can’t tell the truth? Holly, this is my life we’re talking about. Right now I have no life. I am stuck in some halfway house for no reason, even though I didn’t do anything wrong. I want my life back, Holly.

Okay, okay. I’ll tell them the drugs weren’t yours. I just, I can’t tell them they were mine.

No, no, but they’re still gonna think that they were mine. Don’t you get it?

Hey, please. We can make up another story.

Why do we have to make up a different story? Why can’t you just tell the truth?

Because Look, I overheard my mom talking to EJ when she thought I was sleeping, and she was going on and on about how disappointed she’d be if it turned out those drugs were mine.  And I mean, you know, when she lost her baby, she totally fell apart. It was horrible what that did to her. And then, and then with me almost dying? She’s been through so much lately, and if she thought I was responsible for what happened to me? I can’t do that to her, Tate. I just can’t. Because she would never trust me again.

Oh my God. So, you are going to sacrifice me? You are going to totally ruin my life so that you can what, Holly? Keep up appearances? Pretend that you are just this little golden child?

It’s not like that.

Then what is it like, Holly? Please, please, you have to help me. You are the only one that can solve this.

Please. Tate, please don’t make me do this.

What is all What the hell? EJ, it’s not what It’s not what it looks you get in here, Tate? I’m calling the police. No!

Oh, coffee. At this hour, you’re going to work, aren’t you? I am. I have the overnight tonight, and you are going to the gym. I’m going to the gym. I’m going to go lift some weights and, uh, wear myself out. Good. Well, good luck with that, Brady. I’ll see you later. See ya. Uh, uh, sir, can I, can I just Do you have a minute?

Yeah, I don’t have to be at work for another half hour. What’s up? I, uh, actually had a medical question for you. About comas.

Are they breathing? Ava, please stay back! Are they breathing? Please tell me! I already did! Call again! Come on, keep calling me! Yes, hi, hi, I just called a few minutes ago. Yeah, about two people we found out at the old brewery near the airport. Why isn’t anyone here yet? Okay, well, one of them is my son. You need to come now.

Please, well, please hurry. Come quick. Okay, they said they’re on their way. What is happening? Come on. Get back here. Come on. Come on, buddy. Come on. Come on. Oh, dear God. Dear God, please save my boy. Got nothing over here, buddy. Come on, buddy. Come on, Wendy, come on. Come on, come on, Wendy. Come on. There’s something out of here.

Tripp! Wait, we need some serious medical help here now. Tripp!

Yeah, this is Commissioner Hernandez. We need two RAs, backup, and the CSU at the old brewery off Foxhorn Road by the airport. Now!

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

I was just wondering, um, based on your professional experience, can a coma affect Holly Jonas’s memory? Brady, I can’t discuss that with you. It’s doctor patient confidentiality. Right, of course, um. Let me pose it more generally then. Okay. Can a person, can a person’s memory be affected by a comb? Well, um, I’m, I’m not a neurologist.

Right. So, that feels important to say. Um, but what I do know is that, There is a potential for that. Um, a coma can cause a wide range of cognitive and physical impairments, which can include memory loss. Uh, short term. A long term? Well, that depends on the severity of the brain damage that caused the coma and how long a person’s in a coma.

So her, but her memories could come back. Sarah, my, my, my, my son’s future depends upon Holly remembering what happened the night she OD’d. Right. So. Right, no, I, I understand Brady. And I am. I am so sorry because I can’t even imagine how hard that has to be. Um, you know, like I said, neurology is not my specialty.

But what I do know from my limited experience, once a coma patient regains consciousness, um, their memories could come back quickly, gradually, or sometimes not at all. Yeah, I read that online. But I just, I just wanted to get a professional’s opinion, so. Sarah, thank you. Anytime. Brady, I, I really do hope everything works out for Tate.

Thanks.

But they were her drugs, not mine. Dad, you have to believe me. I hate I believe you. Why wouldn’t I? Alright, your mother believes you too. The problem is, how do we prove it? If Holly won’t admit it, do you have any proof at all? Do you have anything? My word. That’s all. It’s my word against hers. EJ, please don’t call the police.

Tate didn’t do anything wrong. He broke into my home. I know, but will you just give us a chance to explain? Please just hang up. Let us tell you why he’s here.

Let’s hear it. Sir, I’m sorry to disrupt your evening. I just wanted to see Holly. I’ve been so worried about her. Yeah, I bet you are worried. Since you’re the one who pushed the drugs on her that caused her to OD. She nearly died because of you. No, that’s not true. You have it all wrong about the night Holly OD’d.

The drugs that she took They weren’t mine. I swear they weren’t mine. What is all the ruckus? Tate, my god, what are you doing here? Breaking and entering into Holly’s bedroom window, apparently. I just wanted to see her. I, I’ve missed her so much. Look, I’ve heard enough. I’m calling the police and you’re not going to stop me this time.

Mom, do something. Please stop it. No, I can’t do that, honey. And Tate, I, I’m gonna call your father.

Nicole, what’s up? Brady, thank God you answered. I need you to get to the DiMera mansion right away. Tate’s here. What? He broke in the house to see Holly. Dammit. And EJ’s calling the police right now. Alright, I’m on my way.

Okay, you too. Tell me what’s really going on.

Oh, it’s a trap, baby. Baby, please come back to us. You’re my life, you’re my heart. Please, please come back to us. Check her.

We got a pulse. Wendy’s got a pulse. Come on, Kato. Come on, Kato. I’m doing good. Did you hear that? Wendy’s coming back. Come on, now. You gotta fight and come back to us. Come on. Come on, Tripp. You fight. Fight. Wendy, I’m here. I’m out here. We’re here for you. If you can hear me, squeeze my hand, alright?

She did it! She did it! Wendy’s back! You’re doing great, kiddo. You’re doing great, kiddo. Come on, hang in there with us. Come on. You’re doing great. You’re doing great. No, no, no, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re doing fine. Just stay right there. That’s it. That’s it. You’re doing good. You’re doing good. You’re okay.

He’s right here. He’s right here. Dad’s helping him. Is he okay? The only way you can help Tripp is for you to get stronger. And the way you’re going to do that, you’re going to focus on Wendy. You’re going to focus on me right now. And we’re going to breathe together. Are you ready? We’re going to inhale slowly.

Here we go. Inhale. Come on. That’s it. Come on. Exhale. That’s it. Exhale. One more time. Inhale. I got a pulse. Nice. What are you doing? I got a pulse. Baby Tripp! Can you hear me? Yeah. Breathe, bro. Breathe, bro. Breathe. There he is. There you go. Do it, buddy. Where’s, where’s, where’s Wendy? Where’s, where’s my wife? Hey,

Wendy’s here, Tripp. She’s okay. Yes. It’s all good. It’s all right. It’s okay. Thank God. Baby, you called her your wife. Well, he just said that because he hoped someday she will be. Right? Right now, we’re just relieved. I found you, and you’re okay.

Yeah, Jay. Yeah, we found them both, and it looks like they’re gonna be okay. Good job, good job. Peter?

Alma. Alright, just stay on top of it and call me if there are any updates. What happened? Clyde Weston escaped from Statesville. Jay,

do you have any intel on that? Well, it just happened, I mean. I’m sure they’re looking at prison surveillance videos as we speak. I think you had help from Goldman? Yeah, who else?

Dad, you called him. He has the right to know what’s going on with his son. Are you okay? Dad, I swear, all I wanted to do was see Holly. I hadn’t seen her since she got back. I wanted to make sure that she was all right. The only thing he wanted to make sure of was that Holly would lie for him and tell everyone that the drugs that nearly killed her were hers.

Holly, I heard what you said when I opened your door before. You said Tate don’t make me do this. All I wanted her to do was tell the truth. I just want my life back. You can tell your story to the police. Holly, please, please just tell them what happened. It’s okay. They’re gonna take me back to jail.

Please, Holly.

There he is, officers. Take Black. Arrest him. I

want that man arrested for breaking and entering. EJ, please, can we please talk about this for a second? There is nothing to talk about, Brady. Your son has been a plague on my family the moment he arrived in Salem, and we’ve all had enough. He left the halfway house he was confined to, without permission obviously, and then proceeded to break into my home and harass my stepdaughter.

EJ, he broke into your house because he was falsely accused and he’s desperate. He’s a good, honest kid. He wouldn’t have risked everything to break in here if he wasn’t telling the truth. All my son wants is for Holly to finally tell the truth about how and why she OD’d on New Year’s Eve. But we already know how and why she OD’d.

Your son pushed drugs on her. That is why she OD’d, and that is why she ended up in a coma for several months. And Tate only broke in here to try and cover his arse! Stop it! That’s not true! Tate Honey? Polly? Polly? Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Honey!

Yep. Both Wendy and Tripp are alert. They’re doing well, getting checked out as we speak. We should be able to interview them sometime tonight. Listen to me, Jada. I need you to stay on the warden. Alright, we’re gonna need to interview guards, prisoners, support staff. Yeah. As soon as possible. Alright, I’ll see you at the station.

Bye. Any update on Clyde? Not yet. Hell of a start, huh? Breaking out of Statesville. Sure was.

Why haven’t we heard anything yet? Listen, Tripp and Wendy are in good hands, Ava. We need to trust the doctors to do their job. Yeah, speaking of trust What the hell, Ava? We had a plan here. Yeah, some plan. Tripp and Wendy might have died if I hadn’t thought like Clyde, so don’t Hi, sorry, I hope I’m not interrupting, but I do have good news.

You can see Tripp and Wendy now.

So, um, how, how is Tripp? He’s gonna be okay, isn’t he? Yeah, he’s doing well. He’s resting comfortably. Obviously, he’s been through quite an ordeal, as you know. So, keep your visit short, please. He needs the rest, as does Wendy. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Dr. Horton. Yeah, he’s in room 441. Great, thanks. Thanks. So, do you think maybe Wendy’s up for a visit also?

Mm hmm. Judging by my conversation earlier, I think she is. She’s in room 445. Nice. Thank you, Doctor. You got it. Detective Michaels. Yes. How are you feeling? Uh, I’m good. You know, I’m getting stronger every day. Good. Yeah, I’m glad to hear that. I would like to get you checked out, though. So, go talk to Wendy, and then meet me in exam room C.

It’s just down the hall.

I’m awake, Mom. You don’t have to tiptoe. How did you know that it would It’s the perfume you wear. It’s kind of a dead giveaway. Well, no sneaking up on our boy, I guess. How you doing, sweetheart? What can I get you? You need some extra pillows? You need some water? Mom, I’m good, Mom. Thank you. Yeah? How you feeling, son?

Besides tired. I’m just glad to be lying down in an actual bed. Oh, baby. I don’t think I’ve ever been that scared in my life. But your father

Your father saved your life.

Hi, it was a group effort. What’s important now is we found you in time. You’re okay. Hey, Lindy. Hey, Mr. Black, Commissioner. How you

doing there, kiddo? I’m not doing great physically. Really? I’m just beyond relieved and grateful. To be able to breathe. You guys, you really saved my life. And Tripp’s. All in a day’s work. Hey, it’s my line. What do you say? I know you both went above and beyond, so really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

No, no, no. Having you alive and well, that’s all the thanks that we need. Yeah. So, uh, should I contact your parents? Well, actually, I tried to call my mom, but I got her voicemail and I didn’t get into anything in the message, but I just wanted her to know that I was okay. And Tripp, he’s okay, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

In fact, his parents are in there with him right now.

So, Wendy, you feel up to talking about what happened? Yeah, yeah, sure. What happened was, Officer Goldman found Trip and I at the geocaching event on Valentine’s Day. And she told us that Trip was in danger. That we had to follow her to a safe house for protection. She said it was a direct order from you, Commissioner.

Yeah, well, um, Yeah, we just learned that she was a bad cop and, uh, Wish we were known sooner. I wish I had too. I was so sure she was one of the good guys. Yeah, right. Well, she obviously is not. In fact, we’re just learning about all the criminal activities that she’s been up to. But, Wendy, kudos on that clue.

Well, it was one of the first words I learned to sign in my college ASL class. Well, you know, I got this feeling that Abe and Steve are going to set you up with a lifetime of beer to memorialize that brilliance. Am I missing something here? Didn’t you know about the video that Officer Goldman had Tripp record for Ava?

Yeah, I did. Okay, well I guess what you didn’t notice was me standing behind Tripp signing the word beer. Wendy’s quick thinking is what led us to the brewery. Wow, Wendy, that was really impressive. Thanks, Commissioner. Yeah, then again, maybe we’d have found you sooner if Ava had just Shared the video with us from the beginning.

Holly, Holly, are you okay? Holly, honey, talk to me. Everyone back off. Especially you. AJ! Oh my gosh. Come on. Get him out of here, please. Wait, wait. Hold on. Wait, stop. Wait, hold on, hold on. Judge, that’s a misunderstanding. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have a right to an attorney.

Commissioner,

please don’t be upset with Ava, okay? Officer Goldman told us that no cops could know about the video. Or else we’d be dead. Yeah, but Ava knew she could trust me. But it was a happy ending, right? We found Wendy and Tripp in time and they’re both okay? Okay. Look, I know that you’re close with Ava. If I find out that she had anything to do with Weston’s escape.

Where’s this coming from? Harris, come on. Really? Well, you don’t think that it’s just a little convenient that at the same time Weston escapes? Triple window, you’re found. Okay, do you have evidence linking Ava to Clyde’s escape? No, not at the moment. But we both know what Ava’s capable of.

Thank you guys for not giving up on us. Either of you. You know, toward the end there, uh, Wendy and I were for sure that we were going to tie in that tank. Well, you know, it was Wendy’s clue with the sign language that saved you. We didn’t have time to plan anything. Officer Goldman had, uh, I spoiled the gunpoint and she told me to read the script as written.

And, you know, Wendy acted on her own. Thank God she did. She’s a very brave young woman. It’s a damn good thing Goldman didn’t notice what she was doing back there. Yeah, she was trying to be, uh, not too obvious to tip off Goldman, but she wanted to Be obvious enough so that you guys could catch it. Almost didn’t at first.

But, your father and John, they were relentless about analyzing that video. Thank God they did not give up. You’re counting on that? Yeah. You know what I’m counting on? I’m counting on you coming home real soon. So, what you need to do right now, sweetheart, is just relax, okay?

Mind if I stay, though? I mean, even if I’m just watching you sleep. Stay as long as you want, Mom. You too, Dad.

You’re a very lucky guy, Detective. Those stitches weren’t meant to be put through the ringer. You’re Yeah, I get that, but hey, I’m still standing. Um, okay, so this is for an antibiotic. And this is for a pain medicine. The antibiotic you have to take. The pain medicine you should only take if necessary. Got it.

I would also prescribe bed rest, but I feel like I’d be wasting my breath. Uh, you would be. Well, I admire your dedication to your job. Uh, I can say the same for you. Seriously though, Harris, I do hope that you’ll get to the bottom of your own case. You know that Xander’s been held in jail without bail ever since you were shot.

Uh, yeah. And I’m, I’m sorry about that. I’m sure my fellow officers would just follow the trail of evidence. The evidence that lined up perfectly to point a finger at Xander? And since I know he’s innocent, I’m Since you’re up and moving around, I thought maybe you would remember who did shoot you. No, so far I, I don’t.

Well, I hope you do remember soon because Victoria really misses her dad. And Xander’s absolutely crazy about her. He’s missing a lot of firsts. Again, I’m really sorry. Thank you. And, and from a medical perspective, I do understand that your memory of that night might elude you, but you were really experienced, Detective Harris, so I have every faith you’ll keep investigating until you figure out who really did shoot you.

So that Victoria and I can bring her dad home, where he belongs.

Well, Wendy seemed in pretty good spirits. Yeah, trip two. Boy, those kids sure are resilient, aren’t they? Yeah. I guess when they’re feeling stronger, we can get more information from them. Yeah, well, I’m not so sure Kyme’s on our side, partner. What are you talking about? No one knows who was involved in Weston’s escape.

Rafe is suspicious of Ava. Based on what? Previous experience with her, cops intuition. I don’t know, I just got the definite vibe that he’s about to start digging. Oh, boy. And his digging could lead straight back to us. Damn it. We’ve made ourselves a serious mistake here, partner. We let the devil loose. God only knows what’s gonna happen next.

Hey.

Well? You all checked out? As ordered. Any updates on the escape? I’m heading to the station now. Gotta put a task force together. This investigation’s gonna be massive. Copy that. I’m gonna hit the pharmacy first, I’ll be right behind you. Mmm, nope, no you’re not. What does that mean? That means that you are not going to the station.

You are going home to get some rest. Doctor’s orders. And mine. Oh, you’re pulling rank on me. Yeah, absolutely. I am. Listen, I need you. But I also need you to be healed up and rested, okay? I can’t take the chance of losing you. You hear me? Alright? Got it.

Hey, Dr. Horton. Hey, Trent. Sorry if I woke you up, but how are you feeling? I’d feel a lot better if I could see Wendy. Think you could take me over to see her? I can do even better.

I’m here for you, Moana. I’m so excited to see you. You didn’t think that they would keep you away from me for long, did you?

May I interest you into a trip to the City of Lights, my sweet? Oh, me oui, mon amour. I’ll go anywhere. With you, Tripp Johnson. Right now, I think I’m just fine being here looking into your eyes. You know, not having a panic attack, not struggling to breathe. I’ll make sure that you never have to suffer through any of that again.

But we made it, Tripp. And struggling through that with you? I couldn’t have asked for a better beer tank, buddy. Me neither. I love you so much. I love you too.

Okay, well, your pulse feels normal. I told you, I’m okay, Mom. Alright, but just to be safe, I’m gonna call Sarah. No, you don’t need to bother Dr. Horton. I’ll be okay, I promise. Alright, well, fine. I won’t call her, but I will leave the monitor on just in case you need anything. And we will be right down the hall.

Actually, there is one thing. What is it? Please don’t send Tate to jail. I promise you, he didn’t do anything wrong. Look, honey, why don’t we talk about this in the morning, okay? Mom, shh. No, honey, shh. Listen, you just, you need to rest. Just close your eyes, okay? You don’t understand, Mom. Please, please. Listen to your mother, Holly.

She knows what’s best for you. Alright?

Please, 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. Fine, Mr. Goody Two Shoes. I’m, I’m going to the bathroom. Don’t be sorry. Just Help me, Holly. You have to tell them the truth. Tell them What, exactly? That the pills were yours. That your ODing was because of the pills that you had on you that night, New Year’s Eve. Holly. You have to tell them that I had nothing to do with it.

I can’t.

Thank you. Thought I’m worried about Holly. You need to make sure that she’s okay. I’m sure EJ and Nicole have taken care of her. But what if she slipped back into the coma? Tate, it looked like she just fainted. Okay, right now my focus is on you. What’s gonna happen to me? Jim is, uh, Jim is gonna give me a minute with you before you have to, uh No.

Dad, no. They can take me back to the halfway house. I promise I won’t try to leave again. They can do whatever they want. I’ll sign up for more cleaning duties. Please, Dad, just Hey, there’s only so much I can do. I can’t help you here, because my hands are tied. You broke into the DA’s house. I know, but you can talk to Nicole.

She’ll listen to you. She is not going to turn on her husband right now. I can’t make her do that, all right? It’s going to look bad on everybody. Son, I’m sorry. Stop. No, no, no, please. Just wait one second. Dad, please. Tate, Tate, I will talk to Justin. I’ll get you out of this safe. I’m sorry. We’ll try to I’m sorry.

I know you are. It’s okay. I really screwed up this time.

It’s okay.

Thank you. Thank you for everything that you did for my son. Tripp’s gonna be okay. And so are you. Thank God. I know, um, I know how you were there for me. A lot. When I was unconscious, Rafe told me. I just want to say I’m sure it helped in my recovery. Just sensing that you were around me. Yeah. I’m not sure how much it helped but, I was definitely around.

How you feeling? Um, Glad I’m not staying here tonight. Looking forward to just sleeping in my own bed. Yeah. How about my bed? Harris, you’re still recovering from a gunshot wound and then you run around like some superhero. Try and help save my son. I know you, and I know you’re not recovered fully yet.

I know you need someone to help take care of you. And I’d like to be that someone. Will you let me? Please.

What are you doing here, man? Yeah. And in your condition, why would they released me? They didn’t. I, uh, checked myself out against medical advice.

Harris, you don’t need to do this, okay? Listen to me. We’ve got this handled. Okay? We don’t need you. Yes, you do need me. You can always use an extra pair of eyes and knowing everything that I know now, there’s no way I’m just gonna lie in that hospital bed and do nothing.

Highway Patrol’s been looped in. We’re also searching her financial records and phone records. Although it would be amateur hour for her to have not used a burner phone.

And clearly, she’s not an amateur considering the way that she played us. Yeah, she’s, uh, she’s a cop. She knows exactly what we’re doing. How we win this is by skating to where the puck’s gonna be, not where it is right now.

I won’t accept that. I won’t believe it until every stone is turned over. What have I done? This is, this is all my fault.

Shut up!

We don’t have time for that, Ava. We’ve got to find Trip before it’s too late. I’m going to hold my, hold my house somewhere.

Where? The countryside.

Where I have, uh, I have two kids. A boy and a girl. Two kids? Yes. And it’ll be, it’ll be perfect. Because, because you’re, you’re perfect. I want, I love you so much. I love you. My sweet husband. And I love you too. What the hell is that? Oh my god! Dean!

Lexi, Lexi,

that was, that was my first wife’s name, I, I read that in my dossier,

you died, right? She died, she died, right? Years ago, Brain cancer. You had us fun together.

Theo! What? Wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you going to take her? Are you here to take her to the other side? Abraham. Darling.

It’s my time. No, no, no, no, no, no. It is not your time. I will not let you take her. I won’t let you, do you hear me? I won’t let you take her.

I can’t believe I, I gave that lowlife a shoulder to lean on. No, I comforted her when she shot that drug dealer. And we took her word for it. But he drew on her first. She executed the guy to keep him from talking. She was cleaning up for Clyde. All that time, right under our nose. Wait, her sore arm.

Remember? The night of the attempted murder of Lucas at the pub? She said she hurt herself at the gym or something. But, but Kate, Kate shot at the assailant. Oh my god, it’s all adding up now. How did we not see this? Because she’s good. Did either one of you, uh, question Officer Phillips? Yeah. Yeah, we did.

And? And while he’s not thrilled to be on death’s duty, he understands that we also need to investigate him. He was curious about being betrayed and seemed shocked about what she did. Only god knows what else we’re gonna uncover. Dane,

oh my god. What are you doing here? You did it. You’re alive. I can’t believe I’m looking at you. And that, that you’re okay, Holly. I’ve, I’ve missed you so much. Dane, you shouldn’t be here. No, no, no. It’s okay. Don’t worry. No one knows. No one saw me. So Tell me, did you go to the other side? What happened? I mean, I was in a coma for a while, but I woke up, as you can see.

Oh my god. After I found you at the party, after you OD’d, Holly, I thought you were gonna die. And I didn’t know what I was gonna do. I was, there was no way I could have dealt with that. I was thinking maybe I’d buy a one way ticket somewhere far away, but You don’t have to go anywhere.

So, I’m really okay? I, um, I feel like Uh,

um Well Well? You little Romeo. I can’t believe you just scaled a trellis to climb into my room. You know the last time a boy did that was in sixth grade? And he spent the rest of the school year with a cast on his right arm. Hmm. Well, trust me, I’ve done crazier. I believe that. Uh, so, were you gonna tell me what you’re doing here?

Well, uh, you wouldn’t answer any of my calls, my DMs, and I, I don’t have a carrier pigeon, so I kind of felt like I was running out of options. Yeah, I, I know, I just, I didn’t really know what to say to you. But I guess I know what I want to say now. And I’m sorry, Tate. I’m really, really sorry.

Listen, you gotta call Rafe. You gotta get this video into the hands of the police right now. I can’t hurt. All right, look. No talk about the Western escape. Okay, look. I don’t care. I don’t care what they do to me. I only care about my son and what happens to him and that he’s okay. Rafe. John Black. Hey, John.

What’s up? What? I’m sitting here with Steve and Ava. And Ava received a very disturbing video. Oh yeah? Of what? Of Tripp and Wendy being held hostage. Situation looks dire. So far we’re betting zero. Want to take a look at it? When did you receive it? It’s time sensitive, man. You want to look at it or not?

Yeah, okay. Send it over. On its way. Okay. Maybe they can pick up on something we missed. Well, let’s hope so. But in the meantime, how about we take another look? Fire it up.

Hi mom. First you need to know that Wendy and I are okay. You’re getting this message as a warning to keep your mouth shut and not talk to any law enforcement about anything you’re currently involved in. And you will not tell anyone about this video. You’re being monitored. So, be very careful what you say or do.

And be sure to do exactly as you’re told. Wait a minute. When you’re contacted. I’m missing something. I think I do. If you follow these instructions, Wendy and I can come home. No.

Where is my shepherd? I shall not want. He, makes me lie down and, Creeping pastures.

Leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul.

Wendy.

Abe, do you remember when I last saw you? When you, you last saw me. Yes, it was in heaven. Lexi, oh my

god.

It’s been ten years since I lost you.

It’s not a days gone by that I, that I don’t think of you, that miss you. You’re still in my heart. And in Theos, my precious son, he’s so kind, gentle, and when he smiles, There you are. My sweet Lexi. You raised him well, Abe. Oh no, no. I won’t take credit. Not all of it. You, you, you were there, as I said, and, and, and you are in his heart and in his smile.

You’re there, always. Always. Always. Always. See? I remember.

I remember now. I remember it all. I remember when we met. We met at the Salem PD and we We were partners. I Paulina? Paulina! Do you know what that means? Do you know what that means? Do you know what this means, my love? Hey,

hey. Don’t be sorry. It’s okay, really. Come on, sit. Hey. No. Look, Holly, it’s fine. It’s fine. It’s not fine. It’s not. I’m embarrassed. Actually, no, more than embarrassed, I’m ashamed. I should have known better. I mean, you even told me not to take those pills, but I did it anyways. Honestly, I thought they were just ADHD meds.

Just good old fashioned stims. Harmless. I should have listened to you, Tate. Wait. That’s why you’re sorry? Well, yeah. Is there something else I should be sorry about? Polly, do you have any idea what happened after you OD’d? I got in I got in terrible trouble. EJ blamed me for giving you those drugs. What?

Yeah, he said I forced you to take them. They were laced with opiates, which is Why you overdosed. He had me arrested, Holly. Lexi,

we had quite the life together, didn’t we?

We had our, we had our ups and downs, but we were so very much in love. We had our son, Leo. Oh my god, you were, you were chief of staff right here, right here at this hospital.

Seems I only fall in love with competent, feisty women. Yes, that seems to be true. But now, you need to focus on just one woman, Ape. The woman you’ve committed the rest of your life to. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Yes, this woman. This woman. She is my life now. She’s everything. She’s my everything. I remember. I remember.

Our wedding

looks so beautiful

and we, we jumped the prune because it was June 19th. June 19th. That’s the day that we became, we became husband and wife.

We have

so much life to live. Right, my darling? Paulina? Paulina? Paulina, are you with me? Paulina? Paulina?

No!

No! I think the

proof’s all here. Clyde is behind this. He’s the mastermind. He knew kidnapping Tripp would get Ava to do anything he demanded for her to save her son. But his plan to take me out failed miserably. And Goldman being the mole, I think we have a little bit of a criminal conspiracy on our hands. Goldman.

Goldman. Goldman. I had Goldman fill out the missing persons report. Wendy and Tripp. Everything looked fine until Damn. Check the contact for intel. Rebecca Goldman. What’s up? Pretty damn cunning. If anyone reached out, it would go straight to her.

Pull her GPS info. Pull her GPS info. When Wendy and Tripp went missing.

Hey, you alright? Yeah. Hey, are you okay? Are you sure you’re okay to do this? Alright. Yeah, I’m sure. Get on the phone then. Contact the prison. See if there’s any communication between Goldman and Clyde. I’m on it. Alright. They’re pulling up the squad’s GPS. Okay, good. That’s how police leads or something.

Look, I was focusing on Tripp before. But look at Wendy here. She’s, she’s been making these gestures behind him. Look, she, she brushes her hand across her cheek from the top to bottom and then making these circular motions two or three times. Yup. There it is, I see it, I see it. Okay. What are you doing?

Checking the ASL site. ASL? American Sign Language. Kayla and I studied it when she lost her hearing for a while. What, you think, you think that Wendy is, is using sign language? Yes, I do. That’s it. I got it. That’s, that’s ASL for beer. Beer? Why would Wendy be making the sign for beer? Hey, hey, hey. Look at this.

In the background, see the rivets on that metal there? Yeah. See that curvature? Looks like some sort of a tank. A brew tank! Hey man, isn’t there a brewery out past the airport? That has been abandoned for years. We were at the airport. We were just there. Let’s move. Okay.

Wait, EJ, he had you arrested? Yeah, yeah, he did. First, they sent me to jail, and then they sent me to this awful place for GV criminals, and then finally they moved me to this stupid rehab center called Serenity Salem. Oh my god, Tate, I’m so sorry. Don’t I had no idea. Don’t be sorry. Just, help me, Holly. You have to tell them the truth.

Tell them what, exactly? That the pills were yours. That your ODing was because of the pills that you had on you that night, New Year’s Eve. Holly, you have to tell them that I had nothing to do with it.

I can’t.

I’m getting nowhere with Statesville right now. They said there’s some type of toxic chemical spill tonight, so their hands are full. Wait, I think I got something here. What is it? Okay, starting from the date that Wendy and Tripp disappeared until today, there’s one address here that’s listed over a dozen times.

And it’s too far out of town to be a stop on Goldman’s patrol. Run it. Can we uh, let’s hope we hit pay dirt here. It’s the brewery, by the airport. Bingo. Okay, I’m going with you. Alright, good. You find out exactly what’s going on at Statesville. You should check the printout and see if Goldman made any more stops.

Any at all. She stopped for a cold hot dog. I want to know about it. Okay, and you will. Let’s go. Tripp! Tripp! Tripp! Wendy! Wendy! I told her! They’re here! Are they alive? Just stay back for now. Just stay here.

Lexi.

I remember after, after I got shot, you appeared to me from heaven. And you said, you said it wasn’t my time. You said that I was needed. Here in this life, we can’t be together. I don’t want to leave you. I’ll be here. My darling waiting, but it’s not your time yet. I think you know that.

Yes, I know it. I know it now. My children. The children need me. And my grandchildren, my friends, Paulina.

I know I have to go back. And so you will, my love. God bless you, Maxine.

Needed it. By my kids. My friends. And Paulina. And you still are.

I need her, Lexi. I, we, we need her. She, she, she, she’s, she’s scattered on by so many people.

She She can’t leave. She can’t leave. I’m not here to take anyone, Abe. I’m here to help you. To help Paulina. Close your eyes. Now look deep into your heart. And feel the love inside of it. Can you feel it, Abe? Good. Now take that feeling of love and transfer it to her. Transfer it? Transfer it? How? How? Believe, Abe.

You have to believe what’s in your heart. Believe. Believe.

I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it.

What do you mean, you can’t? You can’t what, tell the truth? This is my life we’re talking about here, Holly, and right now I have no life. I am stuck in some awful halfway house for no reason, even though I didn’t do anything wrong. I want my life back, Holly! Okay, okay. I’ll tell them the drugs weren’t yours.

I just can’t tell them they were mine. What? No, but Holly, they’re still gonna think that they were mine. Don’t you get it? Tate, Tate, please. Please, we can make up another story. Why do we have to make up another story? Why can’t you just tell the truth? Because, Look, I overheard my mom talking to EJ when she thought I was sleeping, and she was going on about how disappointed she’d be if it turned out those drugs were mine.

And, I mean, you know, when she lost her baby, she totally fell apart. It was horrible what that did to her. And then, God, with me almost dying? I mean, if she thought I was responsible for what happened to me, I I can’t do that to her, Tate. I just can’t. Oh my god.

So, you are going to sacrifice me. You are going to totally ruin my future so that you can what, Holly? Keep up appearances? Pretend you’re just this little golden child? It’s not like that. Then what is it like, Holly? Please. Please. Holly, please, you have to help me. Come on, Ricky,

come on. Back to me, kid. Come on, kid. Come on, come on. Are they breathing? Come on. Ava, stay back, please. Are they breathing? Tell me! Call 9 1 1. I already did. Call again! Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on. Hey. Hey. Yes, yes, yes. Hi. Hi, hi, hi. Yes, I just called. Yes, a few minutes ago about two people that we found out at the brewery.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

There you are. 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.

God, I was so sure she was going to tell the truth, too. That 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 hope that does me now. Still stuck in here with no way out. What are we gonna do, Mom?

Hey! Welcome back. Thanks. Hey. It’s, uh, it’s good to be back. Yeah. How’s Molly? Oh, here, come on in. Yeah. Um, well, she’s very excited for your visit. Yeah. Um, she is a little upset, though. That she can’t remember anything about New Year’s Eve. So, but she is on the mend and she’s getting stronger every hour. Wow, that’s fantastic.

And how was it for you? I mean, being in Italy, were you able to get out at all? Oh, um, you know, very little. I was back and forth to the hospital and my hotel room, so. Yeah. How’s the photography business? It’s good. Great. I’m picking up, but you know what? My main focus, it’s kind of, it’s been on parenthood.

Pretty great, isn’t it? Oh yeah, it’s pretty great. I’m really happy to see you. Likewise. Never fear, Nanny McStark is here. God, I’m gonna regret this, aren’t I? Would you prefer I leave? No, no, I’m desperate for a babysitter and my last resort. I’m touched. I went through every contact in my phone. Eric’s family, the neighbors, literally no one else was available.

Well, then how lucky for you that I was footloose and fancy free. And I came prepared. See, I’ve been reading up on child rearing, and they say that bright colors stimulate cognitive development. And did you know that babies prefer high pitched voices, elongated vowels, and over enunciation? Isn’t that right, baby?

Great. Well, looks like you got it covered. Uh, if he gets hungry, there’s formula in the fridge. I am going to meet a new client. She’ll be back in a couple of hours, hopefully before Eric gets home. If you have any concerns Don’t worry, Mommy. Okay, fine. But listen, don’t forget that like a fine wine or a park avenue escort, I don’t come cheap.

You’ve been draining me dry for weeks. Cheap is never a word I’d use to describe you. That is so sweet. Mommy is a hot mess.

So where’s Clyde’s cell again? Clyde’s cell is Right here. In the watchtowers. Or right here. And right here. Okay.

Angela, tell me you’ll make this happen. Tripp doesn’t have much time.

So I can count on you? Bene, bene grazie.

Yeah, I owe you big. Ava,

sorry the situation has put you in this position. Yeah, well, so much for vowing that I’ll never work with my family again. So they’re in? Yeah, it’s taken care of. Angelo and his team will do their part. What it cost you?

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

Holly, honey, are you decent? Yeah, come in. Hey. Hello, sweetheart. Eric. Hey. Oh, I’m so glad you’re here. Me too. Just so happy to see you awake. I’m Yeah, so I’m pretty scared for a while. Yeah, I can’t believe I was out for two months. Yeah. It’s so freaky missing time like that. I bet. Yeah, I bet your mom says you’re on the mend.

You’re getting stronger all the time. Yes, she is. Sarah was here yesterday. She ran a few tests. So, our girl is on track and on her way back to normal. That’s great. Our little miracle.

What’s your plan? Theresa. Hi. And you must be Tate. I’m Sloane Peterson. Sloane has agreed to take over your case. What happened to Justin? Well, uh, as much as I’m grateful to Justin, he is knee deep right now in defending Xander Cook in attempted murder charges. So, he’ll help later, if he can. In the meantime, I’ve decided to go outside the Kiriakis family, and I want to bring you home, back to your family, where you belong, as soon as possible.

And, as your new lawyer, I’ll start by telling you, we plan to take a somewhat Novel. approach.

My family’s doing this as a one time favor. Okay, if it comes back to bite me, I’ll deal with it when the time comes. I’ve spent decades fielding demands from my family. I’m an expert at it. So let’s not get distracted. Ava called in her family because we need their help. They have the connections we need inside that prison.

That’s right. Whatever it takes, Tripp and Wendy have to be saved. Okay. Right. Okay. So, let’s just drop the topic of Angelo and his team. They’re handled. And they’re only one part of the plan. It’s up to us to take care of the rest.

Oh, here we go. Okay, um Let’s see.

Checklist for a crying baby. Step one is the child hungry. Why don’t we grab that bottle of formula mommy prepared for you, okay? Right back. Okay. Hmm. Now go, huh? All right. Okay. Step two, is the baby feverish? Uh oh. Uh oh.

98. 6, that’s perfect. Okay. Step three, does the baby have We knew this moment would come, didn’t we, soldier? Don’t you worry, I got this. And then

the cops said, I’ll take those. So I looked at my dad, he nodded for me to do it, and then I handed the drugs to her. That’s, um, that’s pretty much it. This is all very helpful, Tate. Can you remember anything else? Even some small detail you might have left out? Um, no. No, that’s everything.

Do you think you can help us, Miss Peterson? I do. But I think we should go over the challenges first. Uh, okay. Thing is, even though EJ’s case is mostly circumstantial, it doesn’t help that Tate delayed calling for help when he first found Holly unconscious, or that he initially lied to a police officer who later saw him with drugs in his hands.

But that was a mistake that he made in the heat of the moment. He was really scared and confused. He was just trying to help a girl that he has a big crush on. Shh. I understand that. The question is will the jury believe that if we go to trial?

So I have to check with the hospital about when your next exam is and schedule your physical therapy. So you two keep talking and I will be back. Okay. Do you know that I came and saw you every day at the hospital? You did? I did. I came by to pray for you. Until your mom decided to take you to, you know, Italy.

Did I look weird? No, you looked like you were sleeping. Oh. Um, uh, was there anyone else there? Of course, pretty much everyone at some point. Oh, I’ve, I’ve got a lot to catch up on. Yeah. Your mom said that you’re having trouble remembering what happened the night you overdosed. Yeah, it’s, it’s all just blank.

I don’t even remember passing out. Well, do you think that somebody slipped some drugs into your cup? Uh, um, I don’t, I don’t know. I mean, I guess that makes sense. Dancing. I didn’t watch my drink the whole time. Someone, some loser totally could have slipped something in there. I don’t know. You know, Holly, every time, um You got nervous when you were a kid.

You used to play with your hair. Oh, I didn’t spill the juice. I didn’t color on the walls. You used to be afraid to ever tell me the truth when you were nervous or thought you might get in trouble. That was a long time ago. Owie. What aren’t you telling me?

I’ve checked out the entire duct system here. It’s a go. You know, there’s also a service gate behind yard two. It’s rarely used, but it gives us less ground to cover if we can get Weston into position. Nice. Alright, where’s that list of supplies again? Here, here it is. Okay, we got uh, wire cutters, grinder, hacksaw, black tape, disguises, binoculars, cable ties.

Night vision goggles? Yeah, it’s right on here. Everything’s in order. Alright, Steven, I will handle the transportation within your field. And, uh, Angelo will have a plane prepared for immediate flight at the designated airstrip. Anything else? I think we’re ready to go. Right? Tonight we break into prison.

Okay, okay. Ah, see? That wasn’t so bad, was it? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. That has always been my motto. Well, that and, if at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you. Okay, well, now that we’re changed and settled and looking very adorable, I might add, how about, oh, how about I rock you to sleep?

You ready for a little shut eye, huh? Okay. Uh, well I don’t see a rocking chair, so how about I walk you to sleep? And I could tell you a story. Would you like that? Okay, I take that little wrinkled nose as a yes. Um, so it was a dark and stormy night. No, you’re right, that’s too scary. Why don’t we go a different route?

Once upon a time, a very handsome little prince was born along the side of the road. And he was delivered by his very godfather, none other than yours truly. And for the briefest of moments, his mother got to hold him very lovingly in her arms. And then, a tall, handsome German god swooped in and took him away, bound for the hospital.

Or so we thought. Instead, they were waylaid by an evil, nasty, bottle blonde, wicked witch. Okay, that’s not fair. We don’t know for sure that she’s a bottle blonde.

How does the story end, you ask?

I don’t know.

But so far it’s not looking good.

But the little prince,

He is always going to be protected from poison apples. Because that’s my job. Okay. What? What

is that? Are you smiling at me?

Well, that warms my heart.

Yeah, that really warms my heart.

Eric, New Year’s Eve, that night,

It’s all just a blur. I really wish I could remember what happened.

Um, hey, how’s Jude doing? I’m sure he’s a lot bigger since Christmas. Yeah, yeah he is. He’s actually holding his head up. And he’s sleeping through the night while we waste most of the time. Got any new pictures? Of course I do. I just shot these the other day when he was having a little tummy time. Oh my gosh, he’s so cute.

Yeah. Look at those little cheeks. Yeah. Oh, he’s adorable. Oh, oh, oh, oh my goodness, he’s so precious. Definitely a keeper. Yes, he is. Wait till you see him at the christening. When is it? Will I be well enough? Well, we held off until you were both back in Salem and you were awake. Oh my gosh. Your mom said she wanted you both to be there.

Well, that was thoughtful. Well, Holly, I mean, if your doctors say it’s fine, then yes, of course you can come if you’re feeling up for it. Oh, I’ll be more than up for it. Oh. I can’t wait. Well, like I said, I haven’t made an official date yet, but it’s going to be a small family gathering at St. Luke’s, and then we’re going to have the reception at Brady’s Pub.

Oh. Yeah. You know, I have an idea. What if we have the reception here? I would love to host it. Oh, thanks for the offer, but it’s too much to ask. Well, you, you didn’t ask. And, um, hello? Are you kidding? I would love to do it for you. Especially since you saved the date for us. Really, the, the pub is fine. To be honest, I just don’t think someone would be on board.

Are you sure? I mean, look, you’re both parenting and working full time. It would be a huge load off of her and you if someone else planned it, right? And besides, closing the pub would take away business for Roman, so She’s right. I am. It’d be really cool if you had it here, Eric. It would. And look, Holly’s still recovering, so it’d be better if it were here.

And then she’s not running from the church to the pub and the, you know, the whole thing. Of course, it is totally up to you, but I would really love to do this for you. And, you know, maybe it’ll help make things right between Sloane and me.

Okay. It’s a great offer. Thank you. I’ll let Sloane know. Wait, do you think we’re gonna have to go to trial? No, no, that can’t be. This is not gonna go to trial, right Sloane? Well, that’s my hope. Um, but as we all know, EJ is DA. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve taken him on many times before, and beaten him, and negotiated some kick ass plea deals.

But, this case is personal to him. But my dad said that Holly’s awake now, we just need to get her to tell the truth. But, you said that she doesn’t remember the truth. The bottom line is, it’s going to be very hard to prove your innocence unless, She admits the drugs were hers. If we go to trial, I’ll depose her, of course, and try to get the truth out of her.

Yes, that’s good. Let’s go after her. Go after her? Mom, she’s my friend. Really? Would a friend let you go down for a crime that you didn’t commit? I’m gonna pursue every angle I can, but I do think we should consider another option. What might that be? Going to trial is a long, arduous process with no guarantee of the outcome.

I could arrange a plea deal and you would get a light sentence tape or possibly even time served. Before you know it, you’d be free to go home. No, that’s BS. I don’t want a plea deal or a light sentence. I didn’t do anything wrong. I tried to stop Holly from taking those pills. I am totally innocent. Don’t you get that?

All right. We are out of here. I’ll pick up any other supplies we might need. And I’ll get the unmarked vehicle to transport Weston to the airport. Okay, great. And I’ll meet you both at the airfield. Right. Oh, John, remember, we have to stop by the office and pick up that special equipment. Oh, yeah, well, we might just need our old pal Rico’s basement again.

Oh, yeah. Wait, wait, a minute. Special equipment, basement. What are you two talking about? It’s just everything we need to interrogate Weston about Tripp and Wendy’s location. So we’re gonna make it look like we’re busting, busting out and getting into the airfield? Yeah, but in reality, that’s not gonna happen.

We’re not gonna let him go. Oh, like hell we’re not.

H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y M Z. Now I know my ABC’s. Uh! Next time won’t you rap with me? Check it! That’s impressive. Did you daddy’s home? Uh, you alone? Where’s my wife? She’s out with a client. So you’re babysitting? Word. Son didn’t tell me she called you. I would have known. I would have been here with him.

Well, if it’ll ease your mind, he has been fed, burped, changed, entertained, washed, rinsed, repeat. And check this. Peek a boo! Are you laughing at him? Or his outfit. Hey, now. No, no, I’m sorry. You just, you, you two seem to belong. Yeah. We’ve got a connection. I felt it ever since he came into my life. Quite a special little boy you’ve got.

Couldn’t agree more.

Okay, so I’m thinking of a cold buffet bar that way people can snack since they’ll be popping in and out. Yes, oh, and we should do those, um, those individual cakes too, you know, like the bite sized ones. Yes, with a little blue icing. Mom, that whole pink blue thing is so last century. Okay. And, hey, I will be in charge of music playlists.

Because if you do it, we’ll end up with a three hour Billy Joel medley or something. I had one Billy Joel CD growing up. You will not let me live that down. Besides, Piano Man was the most amazing song ever. All his songs were, actually. If you say so. I do say so. Oh gosh, it’s going to be so great to have a celebration here.

Since there’s been so much sadness lately. Yeah, there has. So Aren’t those pictures of Jude just adorable? Mom, try not to go there, okay?

I know, honey. It’s just that sometimes those feelings just come flooding back, thinking about your little brother and, and what happened to you. I’m here. I’m back now. Thank God. Because I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you, my precious girl. I don’t know what I would have done.

Okay, so I’m going to go make a call to get the ball rolling. Mom, I don’t get it. Why do I have to plead guilty when I’m innocent? Tate, it’s to get you out of this mess. It’s a tactic, okay, to get you home sooner. We don’t know if EJ’s gonna drag this out for the long haul. It’s, it’s a guarantee of a light sentence.

But Holly could come around. She could tell the truth when she remembers.

Honey, we don’t know if, if that’s gonna happen. And we can’t wait around for that possibility. So we just need to do whatever is best to make sure we can get you out of here. Does Holly even know where I am? Does she know that I was arrested and then beat up in jail and then shoved into a halfway house?

I don’t know. I don’t know, but I will find out for you. Yes? Can I talk to you for a second? Sure.

I’ll be meeting with the judge soon to file a formal complaint against EJ. Hopefully I can get him removed from the case due to bias and non objectivity. That would be great. It’s a long shot, but there’s a chance the judge will see it our way. EJ seems to have some really strong pull with the judges.

I’m aware. We’ll know soon enough how the complaint pans out, but in the meantime, I need Tate to stay mentally sharp and focused in case this goes to trial. You two think you’re gonna double cross Clyde Weston? Do you have any idea how insane that is? Steve, how could you even think of risking our son’s safety like this?

I’m doing it for his safety. Look, we’re taking all this risk to break that maniac out of prison. So what if he takes off and he doesn’t give us Tripp back? That is a risk I’m not willing to take. So we’re going to hold Clyde’s feet to the fire for as long as it takes until he coughs up Tripp and Wendy’s location.

That’s the only way this is going to work. You are out of your mind. Do you realize that? Look, Clyde may play the country bumpkin, but he is sharp as a tack and he knows what he is doing. Look at his track record since he has been in prison. A police detective has already been gunned down. He set the fire at the Horton House.

And he is scattering drugs all over this town with the force of a Texas tornado. We know what we’re dealing with, Ava. Oh, do you? Do you really? Yes, yes. Okay, well then you know that he’s already broken in here and he is watching us. You know, he could be listening to us right now. I swept the place for bugs when I first came in and it was clean.

And with our training, no one, you know. Is ever going to follow us to the rendezvous point. Okay, well that is not enough. Don’t you get it? Clyde Weston will find a way to royally screw us if we don’t do exactly what he wants. If we defy him in any way, he is going to seek revenge and it’s going to be tragic.

So I’m begging you, please, please, just let him go. Steve, it is the price we are gonna have to pay to save our son. Ava,

I know that Clyde’s been doing a number on you lately, and you’ve been on pins and needles for months. You’re not thinking clearly. Oh, screw you, Steve. I’m thinking just fine. Okay, all I mean is that you’ve been under pressure, okay? But we can’t let Clyde Weston go. I know. Especially not after everything he’s done to half the people in this town.

Steve’s right, Ava. Can’t let a career criminal like Weston go free. We had to alter the plan. Oh yeah, and with no surprise, you two are in cahoots behind my back. Okay, so now you know everything, all right? So we’re gonna do the plan exactly as it was laid out. But when we get to the airfield, we’re gonna make it clear to Weston that either he gives up Tripp and Wendy’s location, or the night is gonna end very badly for him.

Trust us. Weston is never going to know what even hit him. Oh, honey, I, I should be talking to my therapist about this. Not my beautiful daughter who’s recently been through enough as it is. Oh, it’s okay, mom. I know how hard it was for you to lose the baby. And then what happened to me? I mean, you’ve been through a lot too.

It definitely was a lot. Not just watching you lie there so still day after day. I just, I didn’t know if you were going to come back to us or if you would ever talk again or, or, or be yourself. God, and then I thought, what if you woke up and you didn’t remember anything? Like, with Eve. And Paulina, I mean, what if you, you didn’t remember all of our good times and, and the tea parties we had when you were a little girl and, and the forts we made with the couch cushions and looking for frogs on our nature walks.

I remember all of those things.

And then I’m very grateful for honey.

And I’m also grateful for all the support that I had because if it weren’t for EJ and, and Eric, I don’t know what I would have done.

I really did lean on that baby. Mom, you are so strong all on your own. Don’t forget that. You’re a survivor. Oh, me? Yes, so are you. I mean, look at you, my little fighter. Um, yeah. Well, I’d really like to not think about New Year’s Eve anymore and the party, what happened, or at least, you know, not talk about it as much.

Okay, Annie, I understand. So we will just, we will leave the past where it belongs, okay? And we’ll just focus on this baby bash, yeah?

This has been so hard on Tate. Emotionally. It’s been rough on the whole family, obviously. As for me, I um, I fell off the wagon. It was just a one time slip. And it was demoralizing. To say the least. Anyway, now I’m completely committed to my sobriety. And all I care about is just being there for my son. And I do not want this nightmare to permanently damage his psyche or mess up his future.

I get it. I, brother Colin is locked up in prison right now. Well, because of his thirst for revenge and unlike Tate, he was guilty, but. I still wish I could have saved him from the mistakes he made. Anyway, I can’t guarantee what the outcome will be for your son, but I promise I will do everything I can to help.

Thank you so much. I get the sense he’s a good kid. He is. Let’s do everything we can to take him home.

Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow. All right? I’m going to let you know what Sloan finds out from the judge. Okay. Hey. Hey, don’t be upset about Holly. Okay? You need to stay positive. You know how many people you have backing you in your corner? Don’t give up. Don’t worry. I will never give up. That’s my boy. Love you.

Love you.

You know, I was about 14 months when I started walking. My twin sister Sammy, she was a little bit more ahead of me. And, uh, she started running around the house and nobody could keep up with her. I’m pretty sure I skipped walking and went straight to running. Away from my mother in terror. You’re home! Hey!

Uh, Eric, I couldn’t find anyone to babysit. I, I just And you found Leo. Who’s been doing a wonderful job. You even got him to smile and laugh. That’s great! I think he remembers me. Well, since we’re both home, uh, Leo, you can head out. Um, I’ll just pay you. Oh, no, no, no. He can stick around if he wants. I mean, we don’t have any plans.

I’m sure he has plans. Nope. Free as a bird. Super. I’m gonna get a glass of wine. Oh, yes, please. Hey, honey, by the way, um, Nicole, well, she offered to host a little after party at the DiMera mansion. Yeah, it’s kind of her way of extending an old friendship. O M G, Nicole is just the sweetest. And the DiMera mansion, what a perfect venue.

Fine. We’ll do it your way. I just want my son back. And once he is home and he is safe. I don’t give a damn what happens to Clyde. We have everything we need to deal with him, Ava. I assure you. But first, we have got a prison to break into. I’m ready. Let’s move it. Okay. We’ll be in touch within the hour.

Alright, password should be my birthday. I want to think about changing that, mom. I’m in. What? Crap, I don’t know Holly’s number. I don’t know anyone’s number. Oh, she’s got a contact. Damn, she’s got a contact list. Um, So familiar. Okay, so we will do finger sandwiches, um, and pasta salad. Rolls. Rolls, yes, great idea.

And petite fours. Must haves. Oh, and hey, maybe we can do, like, little candle party favors with Jude’s name on them. Yes, that’s a great idea. Okay, I’ll let you look into that. I think Sloan and Eric are gonna love this. I can’t wait. Uh, so listen, I’m gonna go out and hunt down those petite fours, and then we’ll talk to Cook when I get back.

Do you need anything while I’m out? Okay, well, text me if you think of anything, okay?

Theresa Donovan? Why the heck is Tate’s mother sliding in my DMs? Sorry lady, no time for you. I’ve got a party to plan.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

We’re back. Shh. Shh. Sorry. How is she?

She’s not good.

Okay. Okay. So my mom and my dad and Kayla, they have to be looking for us, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Okay. But how long will they know that we’re here?

How long until we run out of oxygen? Actually, BGU isn’t burning out of oxygen, per se. In an airless, enclosed space like this, the danger is more, uh More what? Tell me. It’s the carbon dioxide. A 1 percent concentration is mildly toxic, and once it reaches 10%, it’s I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said anything.

No, I want to know. If there’s a chance of us dying. I want to know.

There she comes. All right, it’s time to roll. Jig out, this has to work.

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

How’s her breathing? It’s labored.

Doctors were here earlier. There’s no change. And there’s no update on a possible heart transplant.

Why don’t you go and get some rest? You’re next. We can stay here with mama. Yeah, we won’t leave her side, we promise. Maybe, maybe later. Hey, you look exhausted. You need sleep. I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine. I want to be here when she wakes up. Okay, if you’re sure. I’m sure, sure.

Doctors.

Doctors say she’s running out of time.

But you know, there are thousands of other people who are waiting for a heart transplant too. Yeah, yeah, that’s right, but, but even still, we can’t give up hope, right? Right. We’re not giving up.

Okay, we should, we should, we should minimize our physical activity, okay? Try to make the, try to make the oxygen last as long as possible. Okay. Okay. I’m moving around. That increases oxygen consumption, right? Yeah, it does. And we should, we should take slow, shallow breaths. Okay, got it.

You’re being so brave. You can take your makeup, remember? Right, right. Okay. Okay, how’s this?

I’m not scared. I know we’ll be okay. And even if we’re not, I’ll deal with it. Because I’m with the man I love. Who has never loved you more than he does right now. Tripp. Yeah?

Do you believe in God? Uh?

Oh,

yeah. Oh. Abraham.

Right there, my love. Oh. Hey, Mama. We’re here. My girl. How you feeling? Oh. Oh. My grandbabies. They will be here tomorrow. Okay, Eli will bring them. They made these. They made these for you, see? They, they drew those for their grandma. For me? Yeah. We love you so much, Mama. I love them. And you. Oh, my, uh, How many?

How many what, Mama? Grandbabies. You. Johnny. You gotta give us some time, Mama. We just got Uh, I don’t, I don’t, I don’t make it. You tell them about me.

Uh, well, my mother was raised Catholic. It runs pretty deep in her family. I’m asking about you.

I’ve had patients, uh, and their families come in to the hospital from all kinds of faiths and backgrounds. And, uh, when I’ve had to give bad news to someone, they’re Well, it seems that the religious ones are usually comforted by their belief in an afterlife. Their belief that God is watching over them.

That everything happens for a reason. But do you believe that, Tripp? That everything happens for a reason? That God is looking out for us right now? I, I, I, I wouldn’t. To believe that, especially now.

You know, I can’t believe we’ve never talked about this, but are you religious at all? Uh, what I was taught growing up was to seek enlightenment through meditation. And it was also turned into me that life is beautiful and mysterious.

But it’s also full of suffering and uncertainty. Like right now. Wendy, I’m so sorry. If it weren’t for me, you’d be in China right now with your family. Stop. Okay, enough with the guilt, Tripp. I’m here because we fell in love. Because I love you, Tripp Johnson. And if I had to choose between Living a hundred years, not knowing you.

And falling in love with you. Being with you, right here, in this tomb.

I’d pick the tomb. I wouldn’t trade knowing you for anything, either.

You know, maybe we should, uh, Maybe we should write messages to our family, just in case. There’s, there’s nothing right on here. The width is just I’m just gonna have to We’re just gonna have to trust that they know that we were thinking of them. And love them. But my parents I mean, they, they already lost Lee.

So I’m their only child now and I just, I’m, I’m so scared that they, they’re not gonna be able to deal with it.

You’re your mom’s only child too. Yeah, yeah I am.

She’s already been through so much, after losing her other son.

I pray,

and right now I have to admit I’m feeling pretty religious. So right now I think that we should both pray to God that our parents don’t have to, don’t have to suffer any more than they already have. I

gotta tell you boys, this is a brilliant plan. Shut up.

Mama, what can we do? How can we help?

I need to talk to your, your dad. Okay, we’ll go grab coffee.

Take as much time as you need, okay? Yes, darling? What is it? Abraham. I’m here. I’m here, son.

I feel myself slipping away. No, no, no. You can’t talk like that. You can’t talk like that. We only think positively. I won’t let you go. I won’t. I want to thank you for giving me the. For the best years of my life. Sweetheart, I love you. I love you so much. Promise me. Anything. Anything. Take care of my girls.

I promise.

I promise. I will look out for Lani and Chanel and I’ll Eli and Johnny and Jules and Carver. I won’t let you down. Ty So Ty

I just remembered, I’m supposed to go to the dentist tomorrow.

God, I was dreading it, and now what I wouldn’t give to, to keep that appointment.

I thought I I took everything for granted. Me

too. All this time my dad asked me to come over to watch the ball game, and I was, I’m too tired, I have to work, you know, some other time. Then, then Joey’s been texting me, he wanted me to come out and visit him in Seattle, you know, have some bro time, and I, I shook on it. You, you flew out to him when he was in that accident last year.

I know, I know, and I’m so glad I did that. You were such a good brother, Tripp. No. I’m not such a great son either. I mean, I mean, my mom, she’s always, she’s always wanted to hug on me and kiss me, and I, I, I’m, I’m a grown man. I thought, I thought she was babying me, and why, why, you know, why would I push her away like that?

Is that what she’s gonna remember of me? No. No, of course not. You were so good to your mom, Tripp. That’s what she’ll remember. That you were always kind and caring to her. I could have done better. Well, we all could have, right? I mean, like me, my, my parents, they’re old school and they wanted me to get married young and have kids.

I pushed back really hard because nobody’s gonna tell me what to do, how to live my life.

But the truth is, I

do want to get married and have kids.

I mean, on my own time, of course, but

I’ve always wanted that. To be a mom, to be a wife.

Now I’ll never get the chance.

Marry me. Right now.

Good job, little lady. I gotta tell you, I wasn’t sure you could pull this off. Where is my son? All in good time. Hey, we broke you out, now you’re gonna keep up your end. Tell us where Tripp is. Not quite yet. What? Okay, you listen to me, you disgusting piece of Your mom would teach you. We catch more flies with honey, you know.

Yeah. Well, I smack my flies with a swatter. Until they’re dead. Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Gentlemen, we’re gonna do this my way.

I can’t believe this is happening. Mama just got through cancer, and, and her surgery was a success. She was supposed to be out of the woods. We were all so happy, and Johnny and I had just gotten married, and, and, and. Mama, she, she was recovering and she was doing fine.

When I was little, my aunt Paulina seemed indestructible. She was a force to be reckoned with. I remember looking at her and thinking she made all the other adults just shake in their boots.

I had no idea she was going through hell. I didn’t know that she was in an abusive marriage. That she was forced to give up her child.

She pushed through the other side. She’s a survivor.

Do you remember when I first found out that she was my biological mother? God, I was, I was so upset at her for keeping it from me. Like, I was awful to her, Chanel. Yeah, but that’s understandable, okay? But I know, I know that she was doing it to protect me. I know that she wanted to keep me away from her. A man that would abuse me and beat me like he did her.

She sacrificed her own happiness for me.

Just like you would for Jules and Carver. But my babies are gonna grow up without their grandmother. They, they won’t remember her. Chanel, they’re too little. Yeah. My kids, they won’t, they won’t know her at all. I’ll never get to hear the sound of her voice or see her face light up whenever she lays eyes on them.

God, Lani, what are we gonna do? Mama is the one person that loves us no matter what.

The most pure and unconditional love is between a mother and her child. No matter how many mistakes we make, our mother still loves us. You know? And how lucky are we?

We are so lucky.

And that luck better not run out. Better not. Come here.

Oh,

Paulina. Paulina, can you hear me? Can you hear me?

For giving me the best years of my life.

I wish I could remember all the I wish I could remember all the All the times we had together.

But instead,

I get to fall with you all over again. I love you. I love you.

I always will.

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. But, 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.

I just had to be patient. And, for the first time in my life, I finally feel accepted for who I am. You don’t have to be something I’m not to try to impress you with it in some mold. I’m just me. Just, just dorky, nerdy me. Gotta say that, it feels really good. You were my heart. My soul. Yet in this Jenga game we call life, you are the piece that I need.

It’s pretty corny. It’s so, so sweet. It’s true. Without you, my whole world comes crashing down.

And so from this, Moving forward, I vow as your husband, love you, cherish you with all of my being, until I draw my very last breath on this earth.

This ride has come to a complete stop. John, Steve, This is where you get off. You don’t want to do this, Eva. This is a big mistake. The hell it is. It’s the only way I can save my son. Boys, take the guys back to Salem.

Now, for the last time, Clyde, where is my son? You know, that was an ace move right there. Seems to me like you’re the only one that really gets it. But, as much as I appreciate you stopping the dynamic duo there from double crossing me, I gotta tell you, I still don’t really trust you. Okay, well, there’s not much we can do about that now, is there?

I think there is. See, this is how it’s going to play out. Once I’m in the air, I call you on the phone. I tell you where Wendy and Tripp are. Okay, you know, let me think about that. No. That is not going to work for me.

Got it. I better pull myself together Before we go see mom because she can tell from a mile away when I’ve been crying She knows we’re scared we can’t fool her. Yeah, you’re right Sick as she is, she’s still razor sharp. And bossy.

I remember growing up one time she said, I could never die. Who would run my funeral?

This is so messed up. It’s just wrong. Our wonderful mother is in there dying. And it is unfair. All these horrible people, they just get to live. Yeah, well, life’s unfair, Chanel. And like Big Mama always said, you have to play the cards you’ve been dealt. But let’s not lose hope, okay? And you know, if the worst happens, if we lose mama, we’ll have each other and we will cry and we will grieve and our hearts will be broken.

But hey, we will pull ourselves together. And we will be the strong and fierce, powerful women that she has showed us to be by her example. And we will keep her in our hearts forever, okay? And we will make her proud. Oh, we

need more time. We need more time, Paulina.

You need to make new memories.

I know.

I know I’m being selfish. I know. And of you. Of you. To fight. It’s okay. It’s okay.

We’ll try, we’ll try to, try to get along without you. I know that’s what you’d want. You’d want, you’d want us to be strong. You’d want us,

you’d want us to take care of each other.

And we will. We will. Johnson,

with all my heart, I take you as my husband. I promise to be by your side, to learn with you, to encourage you, to respect you and accept you. You’re my best friend, Tripp. You make me laugh. You’re there for me when I cry. You were my rock when And I know I can always turn to you, lean on you, no matter what.

You are honest, and kind, and you’ve devoted your life to helping people. I love that you are so smart, and funny, and nerdy.

You love that I’m smart too.

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. Until I drop my very last breath on this earth. Well, this wasn’t part of the plan. Why am

I surprised Ava double crossed us? Should have seen it coming. Just like the The double cross of the, um, Chicago case. Ah, yeah. Chicago case. I hear you, partner. Well, I think you’re forgetting, you killed me. You’ll never find your kid. Oh, you’ll live. But you’ll walk real funny for a while. And don’t plan on having any more kids.

Where is my son?! Sweetheart, I think he’s probably halfway to heaven by now. I think his man parts are where they are. Thank you very much. So,

uh, do you think we should go back in now? No, um, let’s give them some more time. Dad knows we’re out here. Why don’t we go to the chapel and say a prayer for Mama? What if Abe comes out here and he’s looking for us? He’ll text us. Don’t worry. Okay. Hey, Lani. Yeah? I love you.

I love you too. How much?

How much time do we have left? Not much time. How will it happen? I’ll just I fell asleep. Oh, sleep. I’m okay. Tripp. When we get

out of here,

will you marry me for real? Huh? Oh yeah. Yeah, I’ll marry you for real. I I do.

There’s our ride. Yep. Looks like it’s about time to Go!

Let’s blow this popsicle stand. You got it, baby. Now, I assume whoever’s flying that plane works for you. So me and my gal here, we’re just gonna drive off into the sunset. But rest assured, I will be thinking warm thoughts of you as I travel down that glory road to freedom. Please, Clyde, don’t do this.

Don’t do this. I will do whatever you want. I will give you whatever you want. Just, just tell me where Tripp is. Sorry, baby. Damn you. Damn you! I will kill you! I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and I will slit your throat, you Son of a bitch! Adios, amiga.

Don’t even bother looking for your son. I made sure he’s good and dead. No!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sarah: The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout. And down came the rain and washed the spider out. And then up came the sun and

Good morning, love. Oh, and who’s this we’ve got here? It’s my sweet angel. God, I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you both.

Hey, bud, what’s up? Hey, dad, just, uh, just checking in to see when you’re getting here. Uh, about an hour or so, and I’m bringing a big surprise for you. Oh, a good one, I hope. Of course it’s a good one. I will see you soon, okay? Alright, bye. And I’m just leaving Sweet Bits, where I got you your favorite Alice’s Snacks.

Mmm, yummy. Uh, see you soon, honey. I love you. I love you too, mom.

Hi, Brady. Hey.

Hey, how’s, uh, how’s Holly? Actually, um, I have great news. She’s awake. Out of her coma. You’re kidding me. Oh my god, that’s unbelievable. I’m so happy to hear that. When did this happen? Just yesterday. Is she, is she, she’s alert? Is she, is she talking? Well, she’s a little weak, but yes, she’s alert, and she’s, she’s talking.

Oh, God. And the doctors, they, they, they think, they’re hopeful that she will make a full recovery. Oh, God, that’s, that’s what we’ve been praying for. My God, both Holly and Tate. Nick, I gotta ask you though, I’m a little confused. I mean, you know what this means for Tate, you know. How important it is for Holly to, to tell the truth about what happened on New Year’s Eve.

Why, my God, why wouldn’t you call me? Why wouldn’t you tell me that she’s alert and, and talking?

Perfect timing, Chaz. You’re two goes away. Got three top of the morning sandwiches, three vanilla shakes. For you and the kids, I assume. Uh, no, uh, Julie and Steph, actually. Yeah, we’re all meeting over at the, uh, the Wharton house. Hmm, okay. Uh, what’s going on over there today? Well, actually, Julie met, um, met with the adjuster yesterday, so she needs to make a list of everything that can be salvaged, and, uh, and the renovators are there.

Sounds like a lot of work. I suspect you need an extra pair of hands. That’s, that’s good of you, but we got it. No, no, I got this new kid, Adley. He’s quick on his feet, got a lot of good spirit going for him. I’m sure he can take care of everything. I’m coming with you. Okay, great. I’m joining the cause.

Awesome. Alright, let’s go. Stephanie, it’s so kind of you to come and help. I’m really grateful. Oh, you know, I’m so happy to help, Julie, in any way that I can. I know this is a difficult time for you. That obvious, huh? No, no, not at all. But, um, Everett came by and we got to talking. Oh. Did he tell you we’ve all found out that he’s Jada’s ex husband, Bobby Stein?

Yes, he did tell me that. He also told me what a painful, confusing experience this is for him. And one thing became quite clear to me. He cares for you deeply, Stephanie. For what it’s worth, if anything. Stephanie. You know, rebuilding here is going to take a lot longer than a day, so we’d best get started.

Oh, Everett. How good to see you. You still are going by the name Everett, right? Yes. Yes. Because that’s who I am, Dr. Evans. And listen, I mean, if, if, if you don’t believe that, then, then I can’t, I can’t go through with this. I understand. I do believe that you are Everett Lynch. And I, I also think we need to explore the idea of who Bobby Stein is, and, and why you can’t access any memories of the other identity.

But that’s why you’re here. To help you do that. Please sit down.

Can you tell me how you’re feeling today? Ah, well, um, I guess, uh, all the way over here. You know, I was trying to calm myself down because I know, I know you’ll be Impartial, non judgmental, but, uh, as hard as I tried, um,

I’ve never been so terrified in my life, Dr. Evans, of what I might learn about myself. About my past.

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

Everett, of course you’re terrified. That’s understandable. But, to use your words, I am non judgmental. All I want to do here is help you.

I have, uh, accessed some of your medical records. It says here that you suffered a traumatic brain injury and that you were in a medically induced coma. Uh, that’s right, for a year. Yes, a year. Um, tell me, when you were brought out of the coma, what were some of your first memories? Um,

I, I felt like I was in a fog, you know, um, everything was fuzzy. I remember out of the corner of my eye, there was this nurse in green scrubs going in and out of the room. And, uh, and then this, This doctor came in and, and he, he started asking me questions. I imagined to determine how lucid I was.

And the first question that he asked me

was, what is your name? Yes, uh, I assume that you told him that it was Everett Lynch, correct? Yes, that’s That’s right. Because that’s who I am. Yes, Stephanie, it will take more than a day to restore the house. It’ll take a village, as Hillary loved to say. Well, in that vein, I’ve got to go outside, talk to the carpenters who are giving me an estimate.

And if you would be so good as to go upstairs and just check on the guy that’s cleaning the walls. I will do that. Thank you. Doug wants me to, um, Look through the closet in the back bedroom. That’s where he kept all of his, his music archive. Yeah, the, uh, the scores, the, the sheet music, and his memorabilia from, from all the years when he toured the country singing.

You know, clippings, and photos, and I just pray to God that it made it through the fire unscathed, because those are some of his best memories, and well, they mean the world and all to him. I can only imagine. Stephanie, uh, I hope Everett regains his memory, too. You said Marlena was going to try and help them with that.

She is. And hopefully she will succeed. As much as that scares me.

You understand how, how we’ve been waiting anxiously and desperately for Holly to be able to set the record straight about what happened the night she OD’d? Brady. My son is, my son’s life has been on hold. He’s in a halfway house because he was falsely accused of pushing drugs on your little girl. I’m sorry, Brady, if I didn’t call you right when Holly woke up, okay?

But right now we are focusing on her getting better and her well being, okay? My gosh, you’re almost dying, Brady. I know, I know, I know, yes, I understand that. I’m relieved, of course I’m relieved, but I’m worried about my son, too. Nicole, when are you going to talk to her about the drugs? We’ve already spoken to her about that.

And? And, I’m afraid you’re not going to be happy about what she had to say. Oh, Sarah. so

much for bringing her. Yeah, she was missing her dog. I was too. But, hopefully not for too long. What do you mean? Well, I’ve been waiting to tell you since you came in. But you were so excited to see Victoria. No, tell me what? Harris Michaels is awake. And recovering in the hospital. What? Oh my god, did he Did he say who did it, who shot him?

No, not yet, but He will.

Everett, can you tell me about Some of your earliest memories Say from the time you were Three, four years old Because those Memories are the earliest that we think of as retrievable. Um, yeah. Earliest memories.

My mother, when I was, uh, maybe three? She, she baked me this, um, birthday cake. Uh, shaped like a Formula One race car, you know. Single seat with the, The candle sticking out of the open cockpit, uh. She loved to bake. She was, uh, beautiful. Kind. She always used to say, I remember this, um, Just be nice, you know.

Everybody’s going through something. That was her mantra.

Just be nice.

It looks promising, doesn’t it? I think once, uh, once everything’s laundered, a lot of it should be wearable again. And there’s a lot more upstairs. Yeah, well, we’ll salvage something. Wait. Look at this. Look at this. It’s one of Doug’s albums. Yes. I don’t think a needle has touched it since the 1970s. But it’s intact.

Isn’t that wonderful? Doug’s gonna be thrilled. Hey, hey. How’s it going in here? Roman. Roman. What a nice surprise. Yeah, when I told him where I was headed, he didn’t think twice. Wanted to come and we came bearing gifts. Milkshakes and breakfast sandwiches. My goodness. With Stephanie’s donuts and this, it’ll be a, it’ll be a cruise ship buffet.

Well, I’m ready to pitch in. Where do you need me? Oh, I’ll support, uh, put, put me in too, coach. Oh, you are so kind. It’s, it’s, it’s just, you’re wonderful. I’m grateful. Well, we are grateful to be part of this effort. Definitely. Okay, let’s get started. Okay. Uh, these. What do you want these? Oh, oh, ugh. They stink of smoke.

So, if you, if you could, uh, put them in my car for now. I’ll take them to the laundromat in a fluffin fold. You got it.

How lucky am I to have family and friends like you. Bless you. Oh, bless your dear sweetheart.

Why won’t I like what Holly said?

Listen, Brady, Holly is still a little foggy about what happened that night. Things are still a little unclear. But she said that the OD’d on, were not hers. She doesn’t know how they got into her system, so we believe that someone must have slipped her those drugs.

Tell me right now that you don’t think it’s my kid.

Well, EJ wonders who else would have motive and opportunity. Okay, EJ, okay, listen, listen. My kid would not do anything like this. My kid would not push drugs on a girl and try to take advantage of her. Regardless of what EJ thinks. My kid does not push drugs. He doesn’t do drugs. As a matter of fact, Nick, he has an aversion to drugs because he’s fully aware of his parents addictive history.

And you know all about it. Yeah. Okay, you’ve told me about it. Quite frankly, I, I, I don’t know what to believe right now. It’s a lot to take in, okay? But I do know that right now, I need to be home with my daughter. Nick, please, please give me, just please. Sorry, give me a minute. You need to understand that my kid went to jail.

Because he found your daughter passed out on the loading docks, okay? And he panicked like any 16 year old kid would. He looked me in the face and said, Dad, those drugs were not mine, I didn’t give them to her. And I believe him. You know why I believe him, Nick? Because he’s a good kid, he’s a good person. I never said he wasn’t.

And Holly, Holly admits she was foggy about what happened. She’s still foggy about it. My kid has been clear from day one, the day it happened. I think I should, I, I, I need to talk to your daughter. I want to talk to Holly, please. No, Brady, I’m sorry, that’s not going to happen.

Why is that not going to happen? Why can’t I talk to Holly? Because, Brady, right now we are focusing on her healing and well being. And we can’t allow anything to disrupt that. Nicole. My kid’s life hangs in the balance here. Do you understand this kind of thing can jeopardize his entire future? Do you understand that?

My little boy’s not lying! Neither is Holly! Oh God. Brady, listen. Maybe when Holly Feel stronger. We can all sit down and talk, but I can’t make any promises as to when that’s gonna happen.

I have to go, Brady, I’m sorry.

So here are the trash bags for all the trash that we have collected. Oh, if anybody sees a little strange object that might be a key You know, to the time capsule. Time capsule? Oh, yeah, I didn’t, uh, I didn’t tell you. When, uh, when we were here to survey the damage for the insurance claim, Thomas was running around being his eight year old self and, uh, whacked the fireplace and a, and a time capsule fell from the inside.

And we worked hard to get that thing open. No luck. Yeah, I took a picture of it. Yeah, and who knows what Alice put in there. It was over 50 years ago, ancient history of YouTube. Here it is. See? Wow. Yeah, it’s fascinating, ain’t it? I mean, who knows? Maybe you’ll find the, uh, keys to a rusty old mobile that’s hidden away in some long forgotten barn, or some creepy jack in the box.

So jump out and scare the hell out of it. Well, I hope it isn’t anything creepy. We’ve had enough pandemonium and creepy things to last a lifetime. I hope it’s something that just. Brings joy up to the maximum. Hear, hear. Yeah.

Hmm. Obviously you have some positive memories of your mother. Yeah. Yeah, I do. Um, But I admit, I haven’t, I haven’t thought about her in a long time. Okay, would you like to, Explore that relationship with her Maybe next session. Is that okay? Just I’d really I’d like to focus on figuring out you know Who Bobby Stein?

Sure, of course. I actually have a file that Jane has sent over. Um, yeah. It says here that your name is Robert Everett Stein, and your mother’s maiden name was Lynch.

Everett Lynch.

I mean, but that makes sense, doesn’t it? Because it’s my own middle name, my mother’s surname. Do you have any idea why you chose those names? Uh, none, no. No. What can you tell me about your father?

My father. Um,

uh, I don’t know, uh, nothing, nothing comes to mind. My god, I’m, I’m blanking my own father, uh,

sorry. Is that, is that because of the brain accident after the A brain injury after the accident? Yes. I would assume so. I mean, really though? I mean, what does, does every war correspondent or every pedestrian in a road accident for that matter just put Forget their father. I mean, Why, why would I just completely obliterate him from my mind?

So do you suppose that Harris hasn’t said who shot him because you didn’t see the person or because he doesn’t remember? He says he doesn’t remember. And in your very wise, doctorly opinion, will he ever remember? Have those memories sunk to the bottom of the ocean, or are they more like messages in a bottle, and they’re just bobbing around, hopefully to one day reach the shore again?

That’s really hard to say. You know. Well, the difference isn’t me. It’s cobbled together over the years. The cards are stacked against me, we know that. Especially now that Harris may never Say that I wasn’t the one on the loading dock that night? Yes, but there’s another way to look at it. He can’t say it was you, either.

Hey, what are you in the mood for? I got a jelly filled, I got cinnamon crumb in there. Oh, both of those look awesome. But, before we start with donuts, I have something I want to show you. Here, give me your phone, okay? Why do you need my phone? Just give it to me. Why do you need it? It’s this app that I found.

Okay, basically, you can stream any Premier League match for, like, the price of a cup of coffee. So we can watch the Liverpool Man City match next week. Tate, that sounds great, but, um, not right now, okay? Why? What’s the matter? Because there’s something important that I need to tell you. What is it? It’s about Holly.

She’s awake.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise, seeing you down here. It’s out of your bed. Well, I was kind of getting cabin fever in my room. Like the walls were closing in. But I see Santa came early this year. Yum. Oh my God. These are amazing. From Sweet Bits? Uh, where else?

So, um, I ran into Brady while I was there. Chatted a little bit. About what?

You know, what happened on New Year’s. And that Brady’s such a, a devoted father and he loves his son very much and he just refuses to believe that Tate’s the one that gave you the drugs. He didn’t.

Any luck finding a key anywhere? No, not yet. Whoa, look at this. Wait, it’s Yeah, it’s JFK. It’s a half dollar. Gee, there must be so much history all over this house. Oh, yeah. There’s histories here and treasures everywhere. You just need loving eyes to see them. Roman, why don’t you and I go to the backyard and go through that pile of discarded furniture and we’ll decide what can be salvaged.

Will you help me? Let’s go. Okay. I love Julie’s attitude. She is one strong woman, huh? Yeah, she sure is. She, um, she has a knack for turning a sad situation into, um, well, a treasure hunt. Right. She’s been so kind about what I’m going through too. She encouraged me to open up about it.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you should.

With me. I mean, if you wanted to. Actually, I do. And I don’t. I mean, it’s, it’s hard for me. Because it’s so fraught to broach the subject with you. Hmm. What if I broached it? Sure. Go for it. Okay. Stephanie Johnson. Uh, where Do things stand with you and Everett?

Everett, would you like to stop here? I know this has been quite a lot to take in. I could say that. Alright, we can pick this up next week. Um, I, I would like to, um, try hypnosis. You’d be willing to do that? Uh, hypnosis. Okay. . . It can be a very effective therapeutic tool. And, uh, you, you know what? Read up on it.

Tell me what you think. Uh, no. Um, I, I don’t have to. I, I. Defer to you if you think that it’ll help. Yeah. Well, I think it could be very helpful. And it’s also helpful that we do it right here in the office. Right. Um. Yeah. Okay. Uh. Let’s do it. Okay. How, how bad can it be? Let’s get it scheduled. Okay.

I think, uh, we’re good for it the same time next week if that works for you. Uh, yes, uh, actually, yeah, it does. Good. And your homework is? Just be gentle and patient with yourself. I will do my best.

Thank you, Dr. Evans, for, for everything.

Holly, she’s, she’s awake? Is she gonna be okay? Apparently so, yeah. So she’s talking and everything? She’s fully conscious. That’s That’s a miracle. So she told everyone what happened on New Year’s Eve, right? She told them that the drugs she took weren’t mine? Tate. Unfortunately, no, she didn’t.

So Tate is not the one who gave you the drugs? No, he didn’t. Why would you even think that? Well, honey, because he was your date and you were with him all evening so by power of deduction, he’s the likely culprit. But honey, I mean Who else would have slipped you those drugs, and why? I, I don’t know, but I know it wasn’t Tate, Mom.

He would never do something like that.

Sarah, come on. No, I’m not being Pollyanna, Sander. What I said is true. If Harris’s memory has been wiped of what happened that night, then he cannot implicate you, period. Yes, but also I wasn’t there. You, you do believe that, don’t you, Sarah? Of course I believe that. How many times have I told you that? You know that.

My God, do you really think that I would bring my infant daughter to visit a man who I thought had just tried to commit murder? Of course not. I just wish I could borrow your roast into glasses for a minute. I will admit, I’m starting to get a little bit of a pessimistic outlook. It’s this place. It’s just starting to get to me.

It’s driving me crazy. I think it’s at least, in part, because of the tattooed geezer who stares at me maniacally from the next cell. Honey, I’m so sorry. Oh, what have you got to be sorry about? You’re the most supportive and loving partner a man could ask for. God, I just can’t wait to come home to you and our little angel.

Hey, promise me you won’t go back to our apartment until everything’s resolved, eh? I just hate the idea of you two being there alone. I promise that I will not go back there until you are there. Although, it is so chaotic at my mom’s house, what with Doug, Julie, Chad, and the kids. And oh my god, let’s not forget Constantine, because he’s still there.

I don’t run into him much, but he is there. Oh yes, the uh, Greek interloper Constantine. Yo, honestly, I’m not crazy about the two of you being around that man.

Actually, you know what? I mean, never mind. It’s uh It’s really none of my business, you know, what, what happened between you and Everett. Um,

Uh, but, you know, for, uh, I do want to say something. And, uh, I know, um, you know, when we broke up, and, uh, we went our separate ways, I, I, I know that it was a tough time for you. And then, uh, for me, too. Uh, You you got involved with Everett. Uh, and now this. And I just wanted to tell you that you deserve better than that from both of us.

Thank you. And for what it’s worth, I, uh, you know, had the timing been different and I, and I wasn’t coming off of losing my wife, I’d like to believe that it would have worked for us. I know. It’s just, uh, it’s just It’s hard to hear, you know? Yeah. But, hey, you know what? We’ll always have the, uh, the ring toss game at Six Flags.

Huh? There, uh, you know, you won, um, you remember you won the, uh, the gigantic teddy bear for, for Charlotte? Right? I mean, it wasn’t Paris, but We had, um, we had fun, yeah. Yeah, it was great. We weren’t living together yet. I was just, I was just so happy to hang out with your sweet kids. Oh my God, they love you.

When I told them that you were coming with, they went ballistic. They were jumping up and down, screaming, Oh my God, Stephanie’s coming with! Oh my God, Stephanie! No, I was excited too. Some, uh, pretty good memories, right? Yeah.

Um, yeah, you know, I’m, I’m, I just wanted to say that, you know, if you ever do want to talk, you know, I’m here for you. Or vent, or, you know, hang out with me. And the kids, of course. Uh, I mean, we could go back to Six Flags and, uh, the next time I’ll, I’ll win you a gig gigantic, the giganticus bear that that place has is yours.

I’m getting it for you. I’d like that.

You’re a good person, Steph. And I’m really grateful for you. I’m grateful for you too.

Honey, I, I, I shouldn’t have brought it up. Look, you should be focusing on relaxing and resting and eating these donuts. How am I supposed to relax when you just told me that you and EJ think Tate’s to blame for my overdose, which he wasn’t, mom. Honey, I mean, who else could it have been? Who else would have given you those drugs?

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. But they were her drugs. Not mine. Dad, you have to believe me.

I love you, Kate. I believe you. Why wouldn’t I? Alright, your mother believes you too. The problem is, how do we prove it? If Holly won’t admit it. Do you have any proof at all? Do you have anything? My word. That’s all. It’s my word against hers.

Holly? Honey? Where’d you go? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought this up. No, it’s fine. It’s just What? It’s, it’s all just a blur, okay? But, Mom, I know Tate. And I know he would never force me to take anything. Who would have given you those pills, honey? I don’t, I don’t know, Mom! Okay, I don’t know! Sorry! No, honey, I’m the one who’s sorry.

I hate to see you so hurt. I’m fine, really!

Damn it. Do you have everything you need over there? Of course you do. I’m sure your mum is taking excellent care of you and our little one. She is. She’s doting on us, in fact. That sounds like Maggie. And you promise you’ll steer clear of Constantine, yes? I will. For sure. We will be back in our apartment soon.

I know that. I’m counting on that. Me too.

And as for you, little one, I need you to promise to take extra special good care of your mummy, yes? Two blinks for yes. Okay, drool is fine. And from my part, I promise you, Victoria, I will be back home just as soon as the gods smile down on me. Which I’m praying will be very soon.

You know, um, you know when we broke up, uh, um, and it was awkward for that little bit. I was worried that we’d, we’d, uh, never get to this place. Mm, yeah. Where we are now. Yeah, me too. And I’m so glad that we’ve gotten over that awkwardness and gotten close again because This friendship is really important to me.

To both of us, I hope. Yeah. There’s nothing I would want to do to jeopardize it. Neither. Uh, can I walk you home? Oh, you know not to do that. I’d like to.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It was from Clyde Weston.

Thank God you guys are here. So what’s the emergency? Did you get another video? Not a video, a call. From Tripp? If only. It was from Clyde Weston. He said if I ever want to see my son again, I need to break him out of prison. In the next 24 hours.

Oh, God. My neck.

What I wouldn’t give for a nice fluffy pillow. I’m imagining you and I on a road trip to Italy right now. After Paris? Mm hmm. So then our trip continues. Oh, definitely. Right now we’re sitting at the most Wonderful cafe eating the most delicious pasta in Rome. Oh, the sauce is magnificent. Brought Diablo by any chance?

Mm. Topped with tons of grated Parmigiano. Oh. Oof. You have some pretty deliciously vivid dreams. Yeah, well it sure beats reality right now. You mean you don’t like being locked inside a fermenter? I will say the, the one thing that makes this nightmare bearable is having you right beside me.

Same here. I’m so glad that’s not a dream.

What the hell, Stefan? Why did you call me so late?

One sec.

Okay. Here goes.

EJ?

I need your help.

So you’re sure that no one followed us? Kate, I was a cop most of my life, I promise you. We’re clear. Okay. Well, I think this is it.

Ah, there he is. Good evening, brother.

Very funny, mom.

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

Honey, I’m so happy to see you. I’m, thank God that you’re safe. Yes, so far I am safe. Are you settling in, Lucas? Well, there’s not much settling in. You know, this is a pretty simple lifestyle here. Yeah, it’s kind of quiet. It’s quiet, yeah. But I hear a lot of stuff, you know. Like I am a humble man of the cloth, lost and confused, taking a vow of silence, renewing my faith in God, but yet no one looks at me or even talks to me ever.

Honey, I guess I was lonely. Mm hmm. What? Better than Statesville. Yes, Roman, it is better than Statesville, I cannot argue with that. But, you know, this is one lifestyle that I’m not cut out for, so, you know. No? No. My darling son, my shy, retiring darling son, my god knows hates attention. This isn’t the kind of lifestyle, I don’t know, that my son the introvert would love.

Look, she’s a riot, isn’t she? Look at you. Yeah, I don’t know, because, you know, like, brother Lucas is kind of, that rings a nice bell, doesn’t it?

You know, when we get out of here, I’m taking you to one of those spas, like the all day job kind of things, where you get the works, you know, massage, manicures, that thing with the crap, like white crap all over your face. They’re called facials. Dr. Dupin’s Charms. And I also wanted my bath. Anything your heart desires.

So then what do you get when we get out of here? Three weeks sitting on the couch watching March Madness. I could have guessed.

I just, I, I, I can’t stand sitting here anymore. I’m going, I’m going, Buggy. Okay. Uh, we can’t have that. So then, pack your imaginary bags, Trip Johnson, because We are going on yet another trip. Okay, well then, I’m psyched, Wendy Shin, because my bags are packed and I’m ready for our next adventure. Yeah. Look, I know you think this is madness.

Well, you got that right. We’re not breaking that murderer out of prison. Hard no for me, too. Okay, but we don’t have any other choice. Don’t you get it? If we don’t break Clyde out, he is going to kill Trip. And Wendy. Okay, see, we have no other option here. I mean, unless you guys have some, some brilliant idea.

I mean, I’m open to suggestions.

What do you got?

You want my help? You can’t be serious. EJ, please, just hear me out. Forget it. Whatever you’ve done now, Stefan, not my problem. EJ, please, I need your help. You are the only family I got left. We’ve been through this all before, Stefan. You scutter around like a brainless roach slipping in and out of the darkness.

And then, somebody turns on the light. Oh no, you panic right before they step on you with a crunch. Please, I tried to avoid the dark path I did, but things got out of control. And EJ, I need your help. Or what? Gabby might suffer another broken neck. I need your help or it’s the end for me.

What are you talking about? I did it. Hey, Jay.

I shot Harris Michaels.

Say something. Anything! What am I supposed to say? I don’t know, maybe start with how? Why? How about What the bloody hell? My brother just confessed to attempted murder of a police officer. What in God’s name were you thinking? E. J., you knew the position I was in. I had no choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Stefan.

But don’t try selling that bridge to me. There’s always a choice. Not this time. Clyde ordered me to kill Harris, or Gabby would face the consequences. Oh, Gabby, Gabby, Gabby. Who brings nothing but trouble and misery into our lives, yet you cling to that woman. How in the hell did it come to this, Stefan? I don’t know.

Okay, it just snowballed. And now things are worse, because Harris is alive. How is that worse? Because I didn’t finish the job! And because of that, because I failed, now Clyde is coming from me,

accommodations or queen. Yeah. But, uh, that minimalist look, you know, very trendy. Please judge. Absolutely. Yeah. Your mom suckers me into watching those house design shows with. Oh, come on, you know you love learning about interior design. I do love curling up on the couch with you. I wish we could watch a little baseball, but whatever makes my Katie happy.

Sure. Oh my God, do I have a good husband or what? Yeah. You know, the next time a baseball game is on, I am going to watch a round with you. A round? All right then. What? Why are you smiling? Why are you laughing? Nothing. No, I could just listen to you guys all day. It’s entertaining. Listen to you talk about anything.

Because, you know, I don’t have any TV or radio or music or anything like that. Honey, I’m sure you could wander around the grounds. I mean, the scenery is really quite lovely. I mean, we saw it because the abbot took us for a tour, you know, before he sends us down here to visit you, so. You had a visit with the abbot?

I would have paid money to see that. What? Your mother can’t mind her pees and queues with a man of God? Well, I don’t know. I don’t know. I thought you’d be struck down by lightning as soon as you entered the building. But, good for you. Glass houses, my friend. Glass houses. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you’re right.

You’re right. You know, when I had my visit with the abbot, you know what he told me? He wanted to discuss possible life changes. And thank God that my, uh, vow of silence kicked in so I could put the kibosh on that for a while. Recruitment into the priesthood. Interesting idea, don’t you think? For me? Really?

Why? Because I’m such an introvert, like Mom said earlier? I don’t like women? Why? What am I missing? I’ve been in jail, now I’m here. What does it matter? Okay, uh, uh, listen. I don’t think you should forget that this monastery and the inhabitants are keeping you safe. So if I were you, I would do everything I possibly could to keep it going that way.

I will. But celibacy. I’m drawing the line there. I’m not doing that. Sorry. But you know what? Anything else, I’m gonna be great. I’m gonna be like a rockstar rookie monk. You should see it. I mean, you just wait and see. Wow. Hey, you’re gonna make your mommy proud.

And now, we are going to take a road trip. To pizza. Mm. Yeah. Ooh, okay. Come on in. And a slick little stick shift speedster, huh? Oh, yeah. With the top down and the wind in our hair. Okay, so pizza. So we’re busy in the tower, right? Uh, of course. Oh, mama mia! There it is! Look at how tall it is. Oh, it’s taller than I expected.

Yeah. Huh. Okay. You ready to climb up to the top? I thought you were afraid of heights. A little, but this is a Leaning Tower of Pisa baby, so I’m gonna brave it. Okay? Okay. Oh, wow. Okay, these, uh, These steps are getting really narrow. Oh, sure are. Eight floors up. This is exhausting. Yeah. Oh. Okay. We’re at the top.

Let’s go out on the balcony and take a look. That is only four feet wide. Seriously? Four feet wide? Yeah.

Alright, let’s, uh, let’s take this from the beginning here. How did Wesson get a hold of you in the first place? Okay, so I had come home from a walk and nobody was here, obviously. I had just, I had called you, I had left a message, and then a second later, the phone rang again. I thought it was mine at first.

But it wasn’t. So, so I was searching around the apartment, and I found a burner phone, and Clyde was on the other end. Someone obviously broke in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was planning on it. Right. Yeah, so that video said that she was being monitored. Right, so what did Clyde say? Oh, God. Well, he made it really clear that if I wanted to see my son again, I needed to break him out of prison.

Okay, did, did he, did he reveal Tripp’s location? No. Any clues? No. Does he expect you to break him out of Statesville? He told me I needed to call my family and get reacquainted with them. That’s it, let’s get the mafia involved here, dammit Ava. I can’t think of a more dangerous move than releasing that monster back into the world.

You know what, there is no guarantee that Weston is gonna hold up his end of the deal. You know that, right? Okay, what I know, Steve, is we have to try. Because this could be the only way we see our son again.

Clyde made his instructions very clear, so let me be clear with the two of you. We don’t have time to ponder. The clock is ticking as we speak. We’re making progress on the video. We’re running it through various recognition programs. Okay, but nothing definitive yet, right? No, not yet. Okay, great. So we are no closer to saving Tripp and Wendy than we were before.

And the cops sure as hell haven’t found anything. Come on, Steve. Steve, we need to do this. Okay, we don’t have any other options. I need to break that bastard out of Statesville today. And I need your help. Dammit, Ava, why did you have to get mixed up with Weston in the first place? Okay, you want to blame me?

Go ahead. Go ahead and blame me. That is fine. Alright, I have made some really bad mistakes when it comes to Clyde Weston, okay? But our son? Our son is innocent. So if you don’t help me pull this off and he dies, then you are going to be the one to blame. And I’m not so sure that you can live with yourself if that happens.

Can you? So,

how are you occupying your time here? Oh, it’s been great, actually. Um, I was in charge of the vegetable garden. Oh. Yeah, but I killed all the seedlings. I didn’t know. I guess you’re not supposed to do that. So now I get to hang out in the laundry room and do laundry. You? Laundry? Yeah. Laundry. I’m a pro now.

I can fold like a madman. All four corners meet and everything. Yeah, well, I can only imagine that. Yeah, well, it keeps me busy, you know, because after I’m done with work, I’m very bored. Because I don’t have a phone. Or anything. Or a baby. But we brought you supplies. What’d you bring me? Yeah, well, let’s see.

First, some treats. So there’s chips, there’s cookies, beef jerky. And in here, a razor, toothbrush, toiletries, a lot of other stuff, but here, Doug sent you books. Salvaged, yeah, from his library. And he said that you’re to start with this one.

Ah, the Counts. The Counts of Monte Cristo. Boy, I can’t wait to dive into this with both feet. Come on, Lucas, you can give it a try. Hey, um, Doug thinks you’re back. State’s phone protective custody, by the way. I guess the fewer people know where I am, the better. All right, I’ll give the Count a try for Doug.

I’m only doing this for Doug. Okay, well you know he’s going to really appreciate it. Yeah. I do miss everyone. I miss my life. I miss my family. I know you do. And you’re gonna get it back. You’re gonna get it all back. I promise you that.

At this moment, I am having serious doubts that Al Jean Pooh truly overlaps. Okay, EJ, spare me the insults. Please. I know I made a terrible mistake, and for that, I feel profoundly But Harris is leaning on me now because he knows that I’m the shooter. He wants me to help them take Clyde out. Oh, he knows you’re the shooter.

Wow. The plot certainly does thicken. Okay, it does more than just thicken, Wiseass. It gets me killed. Because if I help the cops take Clyde out, I’m a dead man. Right. Well, that sounds like a you problem. Oh my god, EJ, have a heart, could you? For once?

I came to you because this thing has spun so far out of control. And because you were my brother and I thought maybe, just maybe, you would have an ounce of empathy for me. Not to mention if you would help me out the first time when I came to you. Oh, no, no, no. Don’t you dare try and blame me for this. I’m not.

I’m not trying to blame you for anything. I am simply saying, that with your help, this situation would not have gotten out of control. But stupidly, I pulled that trigger, and this thing began to unravel. And now, I’m out of options. This is life and death. I’ve got nobody left. I’ve got nothing left. I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do?

You’re not going to do anything. I’m going to call the police.

Sure is cold up here. Oh, but just take a look at that view. It’s breathtaking. I’ve never seen a more beautiful sunset.

I really am a total Dr. Doofenshmirtz, aren’t I? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

So, where are we going now? Well then, let’s just drive by the coast, find a little feel out we can spend the night in. Yeah, okay. Okay. I’m ready. Oh, I love this car. Uh oh. The car broke down. No, not the roaster. Damn it. I guess we’re just going to have to spend the night. Here, just, uh, gazing up at the stars.

Hey, well, as long as I have you right beside me, it doesn’t matter where I spend the night.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

We’re gonna survive this. Right.

Together, we can survive anything.

Emotional blackmail? Really? That’s where you’re going with this? Okay, where else am I supposed to go with this? I mean, I, I have apologized. I have begged. I know, I will admit to you that I am a bad person. I have made bad choices. I’ve been a damn fool about all Stop. Stop. Berating yourself isn’t gonna help anybody, especially not Tripp.

Now come on, we can’t panic here. I know you’re scared, I’m scared too. But we have to focus on what’s important, and that’s finding Tripp and Wendy. Right. Hey partner

We’re running out of options here

Now we can continue trying to dissect this video Or maybe it’s time that we Consider other options John, if we do this, we have to be all in. I got your back, buddy.

Alright. If breaking Weston out of prison is the only way to bring Tripp and Wendy home safely, then that’s what we’re gonna do.

I’ll call Ray for giving the heads up that you’re headed to the station to turn yourself in. Oh my god. Although, come to think of it He might be open to picking you up right here. Are you out of your mind? You know that going to the cops, EJ, is a surefire way to get me and Gabby killed. I mean, come on!

We’re family! Lower your voice, dammit. Holly and Nicole are asleep.

You know, if father was still alive, he would tell you to stand by me, and to do the right thing. But despite our differences, Despite my mistakes, he would tell you to preserve family at all costs.

All right, I’ll call you almonds, raise you two cashes. Oh, come on, I’m out. Kate? I call. I have what I believe is down as a full house. Damn, I thought you were bluffing. That’s a poker face. Well, I learned from the best. Yeah, what the hell was I thinking teaching you how to be me at poker?

On another note, any news? Any news on Harris? Actually, there’s great news. He came out of his coma. Yeah, it looks like he’s going to recover fully. Right, but what about the investigation? I mean, what about the guy who took a shot at me? What about the fire at the Horton House? Well, we all know who’s behind that.

Clyde Weston is determined to burn Salem and everything in its wake to the ground. I know, but is there any headway on the investigation at all? The police are keeping a tight lip, and under the circumstances, I think that’s a good move. Let’s them do their job without letting everything out for Clyde and the whole world to look at.

But he has got to pay. I mean, he has to. Well, as long as he’s still alive and he’s not paying for what he’s done, there’s gonna be a target on my back. What the hell is going on doing out there? Why haven’t you opened the hatch yet? What if it isn’t Goldman? What if it’s your dad or someone who can help us?

Hey! We’re inside! Open the hatch, please! So you conveniently invoke our father’s name in an effort to coerce me into mopping up

your mess. I believe you’ve employed the same strategy with me from time to time.

I’ll help you, Stefan. But, there is no get out of jail free card with this little game. Just like our father, I believe in quid pro quo. So in exchange for my services, You will sign over all of your Demura shares to me. Along with all land holdings and all your offshore assets. You gotta be kidding me. E. J.

will have nothing left. I’ll be destitute. Destitute, yes, but alive. I believe it’s more than a fair trade. Take your time to consider my offer. You can’t be serious. Oh, I am just as serious as you and Gabby were when you did the exact same to me. Or did that slip your simple mind? You know, you should really rent out that space between your ears, Stefan.

My God, you would net a fortune. So this is your offer? Take it or leave it. No matter to me either way.

And what do I get in return? What, besides your life? I’ll have you transported to a safe and secure location. Arrange you passage out of the country. Care to be specific? Ideally, I’ll drop you in a country that doesn’t hold any extradition treaty with the U. S. I have some other ideas, but I will share them with you in all due time.

Any other questions?

Obviously I need to keep Gabby safe. The only way I can protect her And yourself, don’t you forget. Is to give you everything that’s rightfully mine.

Fine. It’s yours. All my shares, everything you want, it’s all yours. You have my word. Well, your word is worthless. But your signature on a binding contract, ooh, that is pure gold. I’ll write something up that will formalize our arrangement without any risk of misunderstanding.

How’s the Horton rebuild coming? Um, well, not fast enough for Julie and Doug, you know, but Chad is handling the insurance and contractors for the most part, so. Yeah, Julie wants to, uh, restore the house to its original look. Her way of honoring the past, but, uh, I mean, that’s gonna be a challenge, but I think Julie can handle it.

And speaking of challenges I talked your mom into a 5k run next month. How’s she gonna do that? She doesn’t wear sneakers. First time, yeah. Good luck. Stop, stop. I mean, I admit I was slow to commit, but then I heard there was the prize, which is a 5, 000 bottle of wine. So I thought, hell no. Of course I couldn’t throw my hat in the ring.

Your mother is a huge fan of the Margot, plus the winner gets a, uh, winemaker’s dinner to boot, so. How can you beat that? Yeah, right. We are both highly, highly motivated. It’s nice to see. It’s nice to see you guys making plans, living your life to the fullest. Lucas, I know that you’re bored. I mean, I know that you’re lonely, but this isn’t going to last forever.

It’s not. No. Have you been thinking about your future? What you’re going to do next when you’re a free man? I have. Yeah. I’d love to start a new chapter in my life, maybe a new venture of some kind. But, um, you know, it’s gonna be tough if I don’t get my freedom, which I probably won’t get. Lucas, you don’t know that.

I know this is hard on you. I mean, I know it is. Way too much idle time, just like you said. And, uh, you miss your family, and you just I mean, all that time that you’d have spent in prison, all of that. You’ve been so brave through all of it, and I’ve been so, so proud of you. I have. And when you’re a free man, all of your family, including your children who adore you, well, we’re gonna make up for, We’re gonna make up for lost time, honey.

Okay? We’re gonna celebrate your return. And we are going to shower you with so much love and affection. Love and affection. I can handle that.

Alright, now that we’re all on board, how are we gonna pull this off? Well, first of all, we need to get blueprints of the prison. We need to know What kind of security system they have in place? What kind of video system? Yeah, sure. Okay. You know, if we had more time, we could disappear Weston into thin air.

Yeah. Yeah. What if we can’t? What if it’s just that easy? What do you mean? You got a plan? I think I might. No! Let us out of here! Please! Please! Let us out of here! It stopped. I knew it. The vents are closed.

How can you tell?

I don’t feel any air movement.

We’re sealed in. Those

are your disguises? With that hat, you look like Audrey Hepburn, I’m sure. Well, that’s a, that’s a lovely compliment. Are you sure no one followed you guys in here? Okay, look. Roman did at least three 180s on our drive over here. So, to make sure there were no one, no one following us. Trust me, we were not trailed.

I guarantee it. Okay, so you have the supplies, the toiletries, the goodies, the treats, the books, the Count of Monte Cristo, don’t forget that. Also, there’s a note from Julie and I, um, I tucked it into one of the other books. Oh. All right, I’ll look for that. Thank you. Thanks for all my supplies, and thanks for coming to see me.

I really miss you guys. We really miss you, too.

Could

you spend some time with me, Lucas?

Hopefully you’re going to be out of here. You’re gonna be out of here really soon. Yeah, well, I’m kind of nervous about that. Why? What do you mean? Well, this is all over. And Clyde’s out of the way, I mean, what happens? Do I go home, or do I go back to Statesville?

There. This covers all points we agreed upon. Uh, excuse me.

I’ll sign here.

You sign that.

Father would never approve of this. Oh, please. This is straight out of Father’s playbook. You thought you could handle Clyde Weston. You were wrong. You thought you could manage Harris Michaels. Wrong again. My help is the only option you have left, and this is what it costs.

It’s the 11th hour, Stefan. Time to wise up. Sign it.

There is another way. Okay, well, there isn’t. We have no choice. We’ve already established that, Steve. So, John, spill. How are we gonna pull this off? I gotta get back to the office. I need some hardware, huh? Yeah, I have an equipment list in mind. I’m gonna have to hit up some of our vendors. Okay, what can I do?

We are gonna need help from your family members if we’re gonna pull this off. Okay. I’ll make sure they’re at the ready. No, no, no, no,

no, no, no. They can’t, of course. Depends if they close the vents. Then that means we won’t be free. We have time. We have time. Time? How much time? I don’t know. But you do know it’s not that long, right? Okay, maybe it is four minutes. No, no, no. I can’t. We’re gonna be okay. Okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay.

Okay. He’s trying to stay calm now, okay? Okay. For God’s Drip, what we have to do, Is get the hell out of here. I know. We’re gonna die. We’re gonna die. We can’t We can’t

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Once you’re added to the National Organ Transplant Waitlist, you may receive an organ that day. Or you may wait.

I shouldn’t read any more of this. No, darling, you shouldn’t. But it won’t matter. It doesn’t make a difference what happens, happens. Meanwhile, we’re all here for you. And we’re not going anywhere, Mama, until you get that call saying that they found your heart. Hello, everyone. Oh, hello. Of course. I’m Marlena.

Oh, hi there. It’s so good to see you. It’s so good to be home with your family. Oh, it is so good to be home.

Hello, my friend. You came. Of course I came. Marlena, I need to talk to you.

Ava? Hey.

Do you have any leads? Well, same as when we spoke this morning. Nothing concrete. But I promise you my people are working, doing everything they can to track down Tripp and Wendy. Assume you haven’t heard anything? Um, no. Nothing. Okay, well let me know if you do. I know you pretty well, Ava. I assume you’re using your connection to do everything you can to find Tripp.

And what mother wouldn’t? I’m gonna do anything I can to find my son. I get it. Just be careful. Don’t cross any lines, okay?

Goldman. It’s you.

Yes, darling. I’m still here. Well, Doug, sweetie pie, I’ve been wandering around like crazy trying to find something that will open it, a little key or

Because this is not your garden variety time capsule. I’m being careful. I know. Well, I’ll be home soon. I love you too.

Like

sand through the hourglass, so days of our lives.

I’m here. I’m happy to talk to you. Alone?

Uh, yeah, we’ll go grab some coffee, huh? We’ll be back in about 10 minutes. Okay, Mom? Mm hmm. Take your time.

Okay, I’m here. What do you want to talk about? Marlena.

I’m scared.

Okay, you know what? I will do my job, and you do yours. Alright, Commissioner? Alright, you always got your back up, don’t you Eva? Okay, you know what, Rafe? This is not the day to mess with me, okay? I am a mother whose son is missing. Okay. I was just offering helpful advice.

Okay. Look, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I snapped at you. I am just, I am on edge. Obviously. Okay. I’m sorry. It’s okay. Yeah, I’m sorry. I gotta go. It’s, uh, police business.

Coleman! AHHHHH!

You scared me to death! Well, you give as good as you get. Everett! What were you doing here at this hour? I was I was driving by and I saw a flashlight moving around in the house and I thought somebody had broken in. Nobody broke in. Thank you. That was very nice of you. It’s nice to know there are decent people in the world.

Would you mind shining your flashlight? I dropped mine and I dropped the phone. Oh, there they are. Thank you. Thank you.

I thought you were the arsonist. Come back to finish the job. Is that a possibility? After that threatening phone call that Chad got while the house was burning down, I think anything’s possible. What are you doing here? All alone at this hour?

Well, actually I’m obsessed. While the family was here checking out the damage, we found a time capsule. Little Thomas was playing in the fireplace with the poker and it just fell out. Time capsule? Yeah. Put together by my grandparents in 1966. Wow. Amazing. Have you opened it? No. That’s the problem. What do you mean?

Did you take it to a locksmith? Of course. He was no help at all. He couldn’t figure out how to open it without forcing it, which might break it and then ruin whatever is inside. You see, my grandfather, Thomas Horton, loved puzzles. And this is not the first time he challenged the family with something like this.

So I want to open it the way my grandfather intended. I get that. But what are you actually doing here? I thought if I looked around quietly by myself, checking everything, I might find a clue or some secret little key that would help me open the darn thing. You want some help? I wonder what mom wanted to talk to Marlena about.

Do you know why she wanted to see her? No, I don’t, I don’t. I’m guessing that she is Worried sick, and she’s hoping that Marlena can offer some, some comfort. You know, we’re, we are, we’re battling against time. I know. And the reality is that, uh, this is completely out of our hands. I know. Mother is our rock.

She is our core. And we just, we can’t afford to lose her, we can’t. No, dad, we won’t. We won’t.

Everyone keeps saying you’re wrong, you’re a fighter, you make it through all this,

but I’m not, I’m not feeling strong, Marlena, right now, all I’m feeling is scared because you see, I, I love my life. And my sweet family, my job, my friends, and the thought of leaving, all that.

I want you to know something. You have got a lot of years ahead of you. Okay, a lot of living to do. I want you to remember that. You know, heart recipients are living so much longer now. That can happen with you as well, and I, and I, I know we’re gonna fight very hard to find you the right donor. So it’s, it’s natural for you to feel frightened, but you can also be very strong.

So You can be scared and strong at the same time. Yes, you can. A lot of us fight battles that way all the time. Look, you have got a family who loves you and is standing by you, and I think if you, if you feel you can, let them know you’re right. Let them know what you’re going through and let them, let them comfort you.

But I’m not sure I want anyone to know what I’m going through, Marlena. Well, maybe it’s because I’m physically weak. But, much as you say, there’s still hope. I’m having a hard time clinging to that. That’s the problem. Fighting spirit. Everyone admires me for saluting me right now. My mind, it keeps fast forwarding to a future where,

For what? Where I won’t be here anymore. Not here for my husband, for my daughters, for my friends. So can you help me, Marlena? Can you help me to feel more hopeful? Can you help me to stop fast forwarding to darkness?

What’s going on? What’s the origin? You’re not going to believe it. I found our mole. Who? It’s Goldman. What? Are you serious? I just passed her on the square. She blew me off. How do you know it’s her? Because somebody tried to kill me. She allowed it to happen.

Good thing we found this lantern, huh? Oh, you found the lantern. I’m so short, when I go in the garage, I never even look at what’s on the top shelf. But you can reach it. Oh, my tippy toes. Everett, are you sure you want to spend the evening with an old lady looking for clues? I mean, there must be something exciting for a young man like you to be doing.

Oh, what do you mean? I love a good mystery. And besides, uh, curiosity is, uh, well, half the reason I became a journalist. What’s the other half? Oh, um, this may sound pretentious, but a burning desire to spread the truth. Sounds pretentious. I’ll indulge you. Thank you. Anyway, um, what a great story a time capsule discovery would make.

Yeah, well not if I can’t open it. What are we, what are we looking for? Clues? Or a wanky key? Wanky? A wanky key? If you say so. You know what’s wanky? When I look at you in this light,

You look so much like my cousin, Nick, God rest his soul. He, uh, He was a very promising young man until he lost his way. I’m sorry. What happened to him? He went over to the dark side. Sadly. Anyway. Yeah. Your family has such fascinating stories. I’d love to hear more sometime. Always a reporter, huh? I mean, this house must be Bursting with interesting tales, right?

Family histories buried in the woodwork. Secrets whispered from the walls. Scandal dripping from the eaves. Everett, I don’t enjoy the image of scandal dripping from my eaves. Okay, I’ll, uh, I’ll stop. Thank you. Let’s move on to modern times. So, what’s a story? With you and Stephanie. Do you think there’s a future there?

As you begin to feel stronger. I know you will see yourself. Is that healthy? Vibrant woman. You’ve always been the woman who Lights up every room she walks into. Oh, thank you, Marlena. Oh, you’ve given me respect and comfort. Uh, and, oh, right now I, honestly, I’m feeling a bit stronger after having taken in all you just said.

I’m so glad to hear that. Oh. Now just take this time to enjoy your loved ones. And friends. Yeah. Oh. Right, right now, in this moment anyway, I feel like that fighting spirit is winning over that fear. Thanks to you.

Someone tried to kill you here. Yes, he was disguised wearing a cervical mask. He came in not long ago. He tried to inject something in my IV bag and I fought him off. I was, I couldn’t detain him. The hitman, he ran off and then Goldman is standing right there looking shocked that I was alive and then she took off.

Obviously, she let him in. Unreal. That, that explains it. That explains why she blew me off in the square. She acts like she’s just a straight arrow, stickler for protocol. Yeah, makes her a perfect cover for a double agent. Yeah. Yeah, well thank God you’re okay. I’ll put a new guard at the door, alright?

Obviously this recent development sure puts a new spin on Xander Cook being the assassin. And maybe the guy today was the same one that shot you, came back to try and finish the job. It’s very possible. Yeah. Yeah, there’s a lot we gotta dig into. But first, we gotta find Goldman.

Speak. Is it done? He’s still alive. What? Are you kidding me? Damn, what, uh, What does he got, a guardian angel or something? What the hell happened this time? I don’t know. Maybe Tamara botched it. Maybe he chickened out. Maybe he double crossed me. I saw him run off. And then Then what? Tell me. I’ve been made.

Are you sure? I could tell by the way Harris looked at me. He knows. Well, why didn’t you take him out? A nurse walked in, but there were too many witnesses. I I had to take off.

Alright. We’re just gonna have to move up the timeline then. You know what you have to do next. What about Tripp and Wendy? They’ve seen my face. They know who I am. Well, that’s your problem, sweetheart. And I suggest you solve it. Fast.

Let me get this straight. Jada Hunter has a wedding photo of the two of you as bride and groom? Crazy, right? I’d say so. I thought I must just look like the guy. We’re like twins. Well, it does happen. Um. Adrian Kariakis and Bonnie Lockhart. Look almost identical. Two different women. Different personalities.

Only one of which is tolerable. I mean, that’s the thing. I mean, doppelgangers do exist. It is a phenomena. But Jade, she was hell bent on proving that I’m this Bobby Stein, and so she She ran my fingerprints, and um,

I, I can’t believe this, but um, yeah, they came up as a, as a match, to Bobby’s. Fingerprints don’t lie. I know. I know that. I mean, uh, that’s why it’s such a nightmare for me. I mean, granted, there are, there are gaps in my memory since the accident. I just, how could I have forgotten that much of my life? It doesn’t, it doesn’t make any sense.

No, it doesn’t. Unless you’re lying.

You know, it warms my heart how much you love my mom. I mean, to head after everything that’s happened. You losing your memory, us being kept away from her, and we both found our way back. It was a miracle. It was. And I have to say, your love for each other, you and mom’s, it really does give me hope. It reminds me that even through the darkest times, Dad, we can still find a way to push to the light.

Paulina, a person who donates their heart or other organs when they die is never ever coerced. They do that because it’s It’s their wish. And it’s a kind and enormous gesture. And in a strange way, it Let’s a part of them continue on in the world after they’ve gone. So no guilt, okay? O okay. No guilt. Oh, Marlena, you’re so good to me.

Always there for me. Well, when Lonnie didn’t know I was a mama, when I needed advice about AIDS,

He is my honor. Always has been to be there for you. Right now. I think you need to rest. Uh, yeah. Yes, I do. Oh, I feel at peace now. I think I finally know what I need to do next.

Yeah, I need you to put out a BOLO, an Officer Rebecca Goldman. Yep, that’s the Becca Goldman. Yeah, you have the description. Consider her armed and dangerous. I want her brought in immediately. Man, the rest of the force is going to be blown away when I get that call. Yeah, and now that we’ve exposed our dirty cop, this is all starting to make sense.

I mean, it’s no wonder Goldman shot Clyde’s guy in the drug bust. Obviously, she needed that drug dealer dead, otherwise he would have let us write to Clyde.

Steve.

Tell me that you’ve made some progress on that video with Kip. The waiting is killing me.

Can you call me?

Can you call me and just tell me that you found our son?

Where the hell is that coming from?

Hello?

I’m not lying. I’m not. Everything I’ve told you is all I know. I mean, my God, I would never deceive Stephanie. Or anyone, for that matter. It’s just, it’s not who I am. I’ve always tried. As far as I know, to be a, a, a decent person, you know, caring and loyal and, and hardworking.

I really hope you believe me, Julie. Because I think you’re a wonderful person, and frankly, I just, I need someone to believe me, to not, to not hate me. I don’t hate you. Why would I hate you? I will leave you, Everett.

Thank you.

You say you like Horton family stories, I’ll tell you a Horton family story. My uncle Tommy, who was my mother’s twin, went off to serve in the Korean War. Did not come home. We all assumed he was dead. Years later He appears in Salem, in the company of my Uncle Bill, and neither one of them knew that they were brothers.

This is what happened. While he was overseas, Uncle Tommy developed amnesia. He was captured, and his face was disfigured when he was a prisoner of war. Somewhere along the way he got plastic surgery after that. Looked completely different. Not to mention he had another name. Dr. Mark Brooks. Wow. But, and, how did he figure out who he really was?

Oh, um, my grandfather, Dr. Tom, and my uncle, Mickey, started an investigation. Precipitated by my grandmother, Alice, standing behind that sofa. And noticing a little tiny birthmark on the back of Tommy’s neck. Are you serious? Very interesting. Yeah, interesting. Heartwarming, in the end. Well, I hope when you find out your story you don’t discover that you and Stephanie are related and then she has to run off to a nunnery.

Fingers crossed. I am very sorry. For what you’re going through. And what a blow this must be to Stephanie. I mean, that’s, uh, That’s the hardest part. I mean, she’s just really hurt and confused. Understandably so. I just Got her back, Julie, and now I lost her again.

Maybe forever. Either way, you have to find out about your past. Or like my Uncle Tommy, you’ll never be free.

Well, okay, if we come into Oh, please. I brought you some more ice chips. Oh, thank you, baby. Would you, uh, like some coffee I brought? Oh, Heavens no. It’ll keep me up all night. But, you know, I really should be going.

Well, thank you so much for coming, Marlena. Hopefully, I’ll see you soon. Yes, I’ll be thinking about all of you. And please, hug those babies for me. I will. Good. Marlena? I’ll see you pretty soon. Soon. Thank you again. We’re in this together.

So, sweetheart, are you feeling better? Ah, better.

I need you to do something for me. Anything, Mama. I need you to get my laptop. Now? What do you need it for? I want you to help me draft my last will, testament.

How could I have missed the signs? How? I trusted Goldman completely. She fooled everybody, boss. Why did she do this? Why, money? Could be Clyde has something on her, forcing her to do his work. Whatever it is, it’s gotta be big. It’s gotta be, and who’s to say that Clyde’s not the only one who has, who has people out there pulling strings.

I mean, there could be judges, there could be other cops, uh, what, prison personnel? We have to bring Goldman in. We’re gonna break her down and get her to tell us whether she has accomplices. Yeah. And when we do that, we’re gonna use her. We are gonna use her to bring Clyde to his knees. I am telling you. We are gonna end that monster once and for all.

Well, hello there, little lady. You son of a bitch. How dare you take my son after everything I have done for you. Everything you’ve done for me? What about what you haven’t done? And now let’s get this straight. The fact that your boy isn’t there with you right now is nobody’s fault but your own. Okay, you listen to me, if you hurt Trip at all, I will personally drive a semi truck through the gates of Statesville and I will choke the life out of you.

Do you hear me loud and clear, but it’s real simple. You do exactly what I say and your boy will be fine.

I should have had a will made up a long time ago. But I just assumed I would live forever. Saw no reason to rush it. But now, you know, I might, might get, wait, listen for God knows how long before I get a new heart. So I need to make sure my affairs Are in order

I understand mom and you know now that Eli and I have kids we’re gonna have our wills made up as well Yes, am I. Okay, that’s fine. It’s fine for y’all to be copycats. But how about you just let me be first, okay? Of course. Okay. So, sweetheart, I’m gonna dictate it to you and you take notes, okay? Okay. I’m ready.

Uh, here it goes. I, Paulina Price, declare this to be my last will and testament.

I am married to Abraham Carver. I have two children. Children, Lonnie Price, and Chanel Dupree. Well, as much fun as this has been, I gotta call it a night. Then, uh, pick it up another time. Yeah, I’d like that. I know Doug’s waiting up for me. Oh, while you were in the garage I called him, and I said, you were here, and you were taking care of me, and he was very glad to hear that.

Well, it’s my pleasure to be able to take care of you. You and your husband have been so wonderful to me since I arrived to town, inviting me over for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve. You’re a, you’re a good guy, Everett. And I hope when you do find out the secret of your past, you tell me all about it. I’d love to, but, uh, I have a feeling you’ll find out before I can tell you.

Word spreads pretty fast in this town. Yes, it does, doesn’t it? I know when you do know the truth, it’s gonna give you peace of mind. Well, goodnight. Thank you, Julie. I told you

I’d put a new guard outside, but if I don’t know who I can trust I guess I could call in help from another agency. I’m sure Clyde doesn’t have people everywhere, but sure as hell feels like it right now. I can take care of myself. Can you just do me one favor? Yeah, name it. Bring me my gun. Now, what I’m about to tell you stays between you and me.

No cops, no stiff. Okay. Instead of you coming to Statesville to do me in, you’re gonna get your little fanny over here and break me out. Are you out of your mind? A prison break? How the hell am I supposed to pull that off? Well, it’s time for you to shapeshift from that doting mama to vitally mom princess.

You can call your family. You got the numbers. I know you do. No. No, I can’t do that. Oh, yes, you can, and you will. Cause if I’m not out of this prison in 24 hours, that bambino of yours is going to be pushing up daisies.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

So this is it, huh? This is how it ends. Neat. Clean. Easy. And then curtains down for Harris Michaels.

You know, if someone did in fact kidnap Tripp and Wendy, they sure as hell knew how to disengage their phones. Last pings came from outside the park near the square. Yeah, during the event. Right. You know, with Wendy’s tech prowess, it’s possible that they could have coerced her into showing them how to do it. Mm. Oh, man.

I think we’re gonna need to move through some back channels now. That takes more know how. Yeah, well Hang on a second.

Hey, son. How’s Tate doing? Hey, dad. Well, we just got here. We haven’t checked in yet, but I know that you’re on the visitors list, so do you think you can make it? Hold on a second. Um, it’s Brady. Tate just got moved to a halfway house. He was wondering if maybe I could Go. Go. Don’t have to ask. I think you just got the okay, so I’ll see you soon.

You got it, kid.

Buddy, take off. It’s okay. Hey, I’m still waiting for notes on that Ava video anyway. I’ll stay here. I’ll keep working at, at this until you get back.

We’re gonna find your boy. Come hell or high water.

I

thought he would never leave. You again? I was in the neighborhood. Have you tried the shashouks at the little cafe down the road? Oh, the eggs are cooked beautifully, but it could have used a little bit more salt. I don’t have time for your restaurant reviews. I am busy. Well, I too am a busy man, Mr. Johnson.

But I have made time in my busy schedule. To see you.

Room service. Hi, honey. How are you doing? It’s still all weird to me. Oh. Yeah, I, I understand. So I was wrong before, wasn’t I? It’s way past New Year’s Eve, right? You know, honey, the doctors assured us that when, uh, a person wakes up out of a coma, they tend to pick up where they left off. Do you remember Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who got knocked out on the field and then was in a coma for a few days and, well, the first thing he said when he woke up was, did we win?

And against all odds, he’s playing again. How inspiring is that? Yeah, that’s great, but I’m not a professional football player. And mom, you haven’t let me see my phone or watch the news. You said I was in a hospital in Italy? I just, I can’t even wrap my brain around that. Holly. Mom, what is it you’re not telling me?

So, how are we doing?

Okay, Dad’s headed over. Great. Tate’s going to be so happy to see him. Yeah. Hi, uh, we are, um Teresa Donovan and Brady Black. We’re here to see our son, Tate Black. You’re on the list, Ms. Donovan, so you can just head on into the visiting room. Um Oh, I’m sorry. What about me? Brady? Brady Black? You are not listed.

Um, okay. There’s been a mistake here. See, this is, this is his father. I’m sure it’s on the list. I’m sorry, I just can’t let anyone in without the patient’s permission. Go on. Go on. He’s, he’s waiting for you, so you go.

Okay, I’ll talk to him. Go. I’ll be here if you need me. All right.

Oh. Tight. Alright, Mom. Oh. So good to see you.

You know your dad’s here. Don’t. Just don’t do this, Mom. What? What am I doing? What are you doing? Really? You’re trying to guilt trip me into seeing him, aren’t you?

Sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. Thank God you’re

here. I’ve been challenging for a cappuccino. I’ll be back in a jiffy. You, uh, you want anything?

Bitch.

What are you doing? I whipped up some of my famous baklava rolo. It is an old family recipe that my mother god rest her soul passed down to me. I’m not hungry. You’re not hungry? Well, you might be in a little while because we are going to be here for a while. Uh, do you have coffee? Uh, that old American diner style coffee with the drip, drip, drip stuff?

Just ran out. Ah, what a shame. That is too bad. Ah, well, here you go. Oh, thanks. You are really missing out. You know, I gave some to the children this morning. Thomas and Charlotte at the house, and they just gobbled them up. That’s why I like to call them the little goblins. I love children. I really do.

Really love them. I don’t have time for this. You don’t have time to have a delectable Greek pastry, huh? Well, you should make time. Ella, pedacimo. It might remind you of Greece. The time you spent in Aria, to be precise. You know, my Catalina, she loved baklava rolo. Oh, yes. I had to hide them from her. She loved.

She loved so very much, everything. She had what you might call a zest for life. Don’t you ever shut up! Now listen, I’m in the middle of a case here. I don’t have time for this.

So your son is still missing? What’s it to you? Well, it’s just that I I can certainly relate to the pain that you are going through. The acute anger, frustration. Pining for answers that remain excruciatingly elusive. Yes, well, I do understand. The pain that you are going through, the hell that you are going through, because I go through it every minute of every day, Mr.

Johnson, wondering who killed my daughter.

You’re doing great. Uh, EJ, can you help me get Holly up? Honey, Sarah said that you should get out of bed a few times a day and walk around. Yes, absolutely. After being in bed so long, well, we mustn’t let the muscles atrophy. You’ve been in bed for so long. How long? How long have I been in a coma? Easy, honey.

Easy. First things first. Come on. Here we go. Let’s get this over and done with. Ready? Hold on. There you go. Ready? Down. Hold on. You in? Let’s go. Oh. Yay, honey. This is great. Look at you. There you go. And turn you right. And there we go. There baby. Yum.

What? What? It’s, it’s, it’s chicken broth and smashed bananas with a pinch of cinnamon for a little kick. Ugh, gross. Nah, someone pass me my phone. I’m gonna order a burger from Buddy’s Burger Bar. No, honey, you can’t have that. Why not? Well, because Sarah said, and every Google search known to man said, that you have to reintroduce Certain food groups in your system slowly.

Well, how is it gonna help my system if you’re giving me food I won’t eat? Well, how about some chowder from the pub? No. Uh, yeah, never mind. It’s too rich. Never mind. French fries? And what are you gonna ask for next? Froglois or fried Oreos from the state fair? Bet. Bet? What? What? Bet? What does that mean? Oh my god, mom.

What? It’s Gen Z slang. Gen Z slang? It means like word. Word? Bet? I’m Sorry. What? It’s okay, sweetie. What? What? What’s so funny? It’s nothing. It’s just watching the mother daughter back and forth. It’s beautiful. I missed it. I’m sure you have. I have. Oh my god. Guilt tripping you? I’m not guilt tripping you. I’m just trying to tell you that Mom, I mean it.

Do not try to force me to see dad today. Tate, you can do whatever you want, okay? But just hear me out. You and your dad had a great relationship before all this happened. You guys were best buds! Yeah. Yeah. We used to be. But, ever since I started therapy, well, it brought up a lot of stuff for me. Especially how dad wasn’t there for me when I was growing up.

Like, when we moved to California, I Yeah, about I’m moving to California. Yeah?

I had a big part in that. What do you mean? I’m the one I kept you from your father.

It is a parent’s worst nightmare, losing a child. They say it gets easier with time. No. Oh, it does not. I miss my Katharina more as time goes on. No less.

She was my heart.

She was the only good thing I ever did.

Do you feel that way about your children, Mr. Johnson?

My children mean everything to me.

Well then, you must understand how terribly painful my loss Has been.

Do you understand?

How could I not?

I appreciate your empathy, Mr. Johnson. More than you know.

Hey, buddy. Dad, thanks for coming. What’s, uh, what’s going on here? Have you been in to see Tate yet? Uh, no, no, I haven’t been in. Teresa’s actually seeing him right now. Oh, okay. He didn’t put me on the list. Oh, come on, son. I have seen you and your boy together. Let me tell you, that bond is strong. I mean, come on, does it need a little bit of work here?

Yeah, you know, so let’s give it some time, some patience, and with a little bit of effort, I can guarantee you things are gonna be A OK. I’m hoping so. Listen, don’t I know that he wants to see his granddad, so why don’t you, uh Why don’t you go in there? He’ll be happy to see you, okay? Go on. Okay. Love you, buddy.

Love you, too. No.

No, you didn’t You didn’t move me to California to keep me from Dad. You No, you’re just making that up to cover for him. No, I’m not.

The reason I have custody of you is because I made up What? You made up what?

I made up a lie that implicated your father in a murder case.

I lied. And that got me custody of you. And that’s what allowed me to take you with me to California. So my point is, that man out there that you refuse to see? I have hurt him. So much more than he has hurt you or hurt me.

Your father loves you. He always has and he always will.

Um, there’s something else that I think that I want you to know about your, your father. Actually, about me.

You remember that first night that you were sent away? I was a mess. And I slipped. I slipped. In a really big way. And guess, guess who was there for me? I mean, totally, totally there for me. Kind and forgiving and supportive, even after everything that I have done to him. Your father, Brady Black.

He needs you in his life. And you need him. Hey, dear.

Where are you, kid?

Your mom’s right. Your dad needs you because he loves you with all his heart. And your mother here, you know what? She just took a really big risk in telling you the truth. That was brief of her.

You know why she did that?

Because she trusted enough in your love for her. She knew she wasn’t going to lose you. You know what we call that?

Unconditional love, T. And that is what your mother and your father have for you. That is what your grandparents have for you. Always. Or ever.

I

heard you survived those bullets, you son of a bitch. Better

luck this time.

Not so fast.

No, you’re not going anywhere, pal. Ah! Stefan? So good to see you.

Listen, Constantine. I understand that you’re still grieving your daughter. But if you’re somehow trying to implicate me in her death No, no, no, no. I am not trying to do anything. I am merely sharing, uh, how her death haunts me, pains me, every minute of every day.

No one was supposed to die that day. It was an accident. A terrible accident. Which you witnessed. Did you not? No, no, not directly.

But you admit, you were there when Katharina died. When the pawn put a bullet through her head.

You were there. Were you not?

I’m good, Mom. Really, that’s all I want. Okay, well that’s a good start anyway. Well, um, let’s get you back into bed, shall we? Not yet, okay? Mom, you said you’d answer some of my questions, so how about answering those now? Okay, what do you want to know? Everything. Starting with why I was in a coma for what, months?

You had opioid laced drugs in your system.

Drugs? What? It’s okay, Colleen. We know that you don’t do drugs. And believe me, we are going to get to the bottom of what happened. But however it happened, it was an overdose and your heart stopped several times. You nearly died. Before you slipped into unconsciousness. And it, it happened on New Year’s Eve.

That’s when I thought it would, when I came to. Honey, do you remember anything else?

No, um, not really. Just, just the sound of fireworks. But darling, just, just try and think hard. Think hard for back then for you were drugged with potentially lethal drugs that in fact almost cost you your life. So it is very important that we know where they came from. Honey, where did you get the drugs?

It’s hate. Hey,

your father, he’s missed you so much. He’s out there in the waiting room, he’s just hoping you’re gonna agree to see him.

You know,

I just found my long lost father. Your great grandfather. Timothy, he’s a wonderful, spirited man, which I missed out on so many years with him. And neither one of us were ever gonna get those years back. I’m just saying that I don’t want you to look back one day and have any regrets about the time that you missed with your dad.

You know Tate, but it’s your call.

So what do you say? Can I, can I go get him and tell him that you would like to see him after all?

Can I help you? Tate Black would like to see his father. Okay, sure, I just need to make a quick call.

Hello, this is Olivia confirming that Tate Black will allow his father to visit. Thank you. You can go in to see your son now, Mr. Black. Thank you. Listen, I gotta take off, but uh, you’re gonna call me, right? Yeah, of course. I love you, son. And Tate? You got yourself a good kid in there. I know he’s a good kid.

I’ll see ya. Thank you again. Love you, buddy. You know I had no choice in this. We all have choices. Uh, what do you want from me? You seem to follow instructions really well. I like that in a person. Now I have some instructions of my own for you. Are you listening? I’m listening. Yeah? You work for me, Gamera.

You’re gonna take the fall for this, and you’re gonna help me take Clyde Weston down, do you understand? I understand. That’s good. Oh, that’s good.

Do You need to confess, Mr. Johnson? Because now is the time. Surely, it would help you to, to relieve the guilt. To finally admit the truth. Nothing

will relieve me of that guilt. So you were there? In Aria? On that terrible day?

Answer me, Mr. Johnson.

Yes. Yes, I was there.

God, how I wish I hadn’t been.

Please. Tell me more, please. For both our sakes. We both deserve to have peace of mind about this. Don’t you agree?

Sure. It will unburden you. It will help. I assure you, it will help. It was a long time ago. Decades. We were different people then.

But yes. I was the pawns handler for Victor.

He called me away to give me some instruction.

And when I came back,

there was a young girl lying there.

Dead.

That image has tormented me all this time. I didn’t know who she was.

But you do now.

I do now.

And the bomb? Where was he when you came back? He was there, just holding the gun. And someone else was lying next to the girl, flat, on the ground. I couldn’t see that person’s face,

but I knew it was you. Hey son. I have to go make a call. It’s uh, it’s good to see you.

Yeah, it is. It’s good to see you too. Look man, I um, I don’t know what grandfather said to you. No, it was mom. Yeah, she um, she told me the truth about what happened. Between you two. What she did so she could take me to California and away from you. Pauline.

Tell us, please. , where did you get the drugs? Did Tate give them to you? Uh, I, I don’t know. I, I don’t remember taking any drugs, so someone must have given them to me, or maybe they slipped them into my drink without my knowing. I, I don’t know. So no one gave you the drugs? Not Tate, not anyone. Mom. I’m, I’m just really tired.

Okay. So you need to rest. Yeah, of course, honey. Of course. Come on. That a girl. Let’s see. There we go.

What’s the plan? He’s gonna keep me here? No, I’m gonna keep you here until we’re clear on where things stand. I know where things stand. Just a reminder, I got you on attempted murder of a police officer. Not once, but twice. First, a loading dock, and now with a syringe. And look, you’re not wearing gloves, so your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.

Do you know what kind of time you’re gonna freaking serve?

You ready to play ball?

Where is he? Where is that bastard who killed my Katerina? I will suck the life out of him! No, no, no. John is not the one you want. He was not the puppet master there. Whatever he did was out of his control. But you do not deny he was the pawn, huh? He was transformed into that maniac by Stefano DiMera. And he’s dead.

And so is Victor. So if it’ll make you feel any better, go spit on their graves. But leave John out of this. He has suffered enough. He suffered? I have suffered! And now I want the both of you to suffer, like I have suffered! What do you mean by that? Your missing son, he may still be alive. But my daughter is dead!

And I will have justice!

Did you hear what she just said? I knew it. Someone slipped her those drugs and we both know who that someone was. No, we don’t know that for sure. Oh, come on. Who else could it have been? No one else was drugged at that party. Holly was roofied. And there’s no one else who would have done that except for her date that night.

The little swine who was trying to get into her pants.

Is this true? Did you, did you, you told him? It was time that Tate knew the truth. Oh, I really don’t know what to say. I do. I’m sorry, Dad. I’m so sorry.

You don’t have anything to be sorry about, Tate. None at all. And I thank you for telling the truth. I’m grateful.

I love you. You’re my kid, I love you so much. And your mom and I, we’re always gonna be there for you, no matter what, okay? You hear me? Come

here.

We have a lot to 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? I picked you, Dad, in a room full of chicken wings and pizza and a giant 4K television and no one did It was awful. Yeah, well, I had no one to ask 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.

I knew I’d find you in here. Yes.

Just making sure this was all still real. Holly’s home and she’s come back to us. I understand that need. But I assure you, my darling, it is very real. And

now EJ, I mean, she doesn’t I obviously remember that she was drugged and I just, I so hope that those drugs weren’t hers that did this to her. I guess because I would feel like that would reflect on me because if she were using, that means I failed her as a mother. But you haven’t, Nicole.

But I have, in so many ways. I’ve been selfish and self absorbed, and if those drugs that almost killed my daughter, if they were hers, then that’s just another box ticked off on a terrible mother checklist. And yes, you know what, sure, I, I I could say that I should have been there for her more. I mean, recently, just losing the baby, and then losing my mind, and stealing Eric’s baby.

I mean, it just It was so lost. It was just And, and, and And pain. And it was hurting, and I’m trying to make sense of it all. And I just was really I was just trying to handle how to get through every day. Nicole, sweetheart. I need you. To stop beating yourself up. Look at me. You are a wonderful mother. And darling, Holly made it clear that those drugs weren’t hers, which means she is completely innocent in all of this.

Holly is a wonderful young woman. And you have raised her right. You should be very proud. Very, very proud. Now come on, let’s let this lovely young girl get some rest, okay?

Okay.

So, any late breaking news since I left? Um, yeah, that’s right, no problem, no problem. If you don’t come to us, we go find the leads, right? Because our number one priority here is bringing your boy home safely. Definitely. All right, now you said, Dylan, when I left here that the last cell phone pings were heard what, outside the park?

Yeah. That’s right.

Yeah. Right there. All right. Nice. See, partner? We’re already making progress. Let’s keep at it.

You can go. I’ll be in touch. Yeah. All right. Oh, God. God! Oh! Oh! Please. Oh, gosh. Uh, Uh,

What the?

Goldman! It’s you!

Good, good, because I’m, uh, taking you to dinner. Yeah, that seems like a slightly illogical suggestion given the circumstances. Aw, I mean, illogical, that’s just relative, right?

Clyde I wasn’t expecting to hear from you today. Really? Even with the recent turn of events. Okay, look, I, uh, I’m in the middle of a crisis at the restaurant and I’m needed on the floor and that’s not a good time. Kind of hard to get back on the floor when you’re not at work, isn’t it?

In your, you know, fancy mansion. How the hell? Hey. You will never see my people. You understand that? Yeah. Got it. But I got a lot of stuff I gotta take care of right now. Okay? Not okay. You should be focusing on your number one problem. And what’s that? Harris Michaels. He’s awake.

What is it? It’s a video. Of Tripp and Wendy. Play it. Hi mom. First you need to know that Wendy and I are okay. You’re getting this message as a warning to keep your mouth shut and not talk to any law enforcement about anything you’re currently involved in. And you will not tell anyone about this video.

You’re being monitored. So, be very careful what you say or do and be sure to do exactly as you’re told when you’re contacted. If you follow these instructions, Wendy and I can come home. And if you don’t, you’ll never see us again. I love you, Mom. Oh my God, Steve.

What do we do? Of course I’m being watched. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. That might be an empty threat, just to keep you in line. Okay, this is Clyde Weston we were talking about. He doesn’t make empty threats. He only makes promises. And did you see, did you see Wendy and Tripp? Did you see how exhausted and scared they look?

Where, where the hell are they? What are you doing? Trying to answer your question

Okay, so Our dinner in Paris. How do we make it happen? You know without actually flying there? Well See we make it happen with

A pot of water. Okay. Protein bar. And Chocolate kisses. Oh, Goldman was ever so generous, isn’t she? Learned it cold. Plan wasn’t intended. Fantastique. Now

Care to join me, mon amour?

Bien, sir, mon chéri. So When did you and my grandbabies get into town? Earlier today. All we did was drop off the luggage and the kids. We wanted to get here as soon as possible so we could see you. Oh, well, I, I appreciate that, my, my loves. Oh, oh, shoo. Oh, oh, just need a minute. I’ll come. You just take it easy, sweetheart, alright?

Chanel, you take Eli and Lonnie and show them where the ice machine is, and then you all can, you all can bring back some ice chips for your mom. Uh, of course. We’ll be right back.

You didn’t have to do that. What did I do? You sent them out of the room. Because you sensed there was too much excitement for me. Wow. And having them all in here. It’s part of it, it’s part of it, but I thought you might need a little break from coming out. Yeah, I wanted us to talk for a moment. Just the two of us.

Hmm.

So, I have cleared your calendar for the day. You obviously had my assistant go along with this. Well, Lillian knows how hard working you are as a boss, and so she was happy to help. And Jude’s sleeping? Actually not, he’s not here and he won’t be for a couple of hours because my mom is on grand babysitting duties.

We have the place to ourselves. Listen, I just want to give you a proper Valentine’s Day. Because I feel bad for conking out on you. Well. This is the perfect Valentine’s Day redo do over. And I’m just grateful that you did it for me. You’ve been working a lot. You’re a new mom. And I know how tough it can be.

But I wanted to make sure you know how important you are to me. Happy Valentine’s Day, my love. Happy Valentine’s Day. Look, Clyde, I’m well aware that Harris woke up. I was at the hospital when it happened. Yeah, so I heard. You and Ava both. So if you know that, then you know Harris doesn’t remember who shot him, so I’m in the clear.

In the clear? Do you think that because Michaels can’t remember you shooting a gun at him, that that lets you off the hook with me? Why wouldn’t it? Because I told you, in no uncertain terms, the last time we spoke, that you need to finish the job. That if Michael somehow regained consciousness, it was your job to make sure he lost it again.

Permanently. So unless you want to disappoint me more than you already have, you’re gonna finish the job, dammit. And you’re gonna do it today. Look,

I didn’t forget what you said, but it’s not like I can waltz into that hospital and shoot the guy. You seem to be under the impression that you have a choice. He is under 24 7 surveillance. And you know that. Which means, as long as Harris Michaels is in that hospital bed, he is untouchable, so how the hell am I supposed to kill him?

The how part is really easy. And I’ve already taken care of that. I’m pretty sure even you can’t screw it up. Close your eyes. And close my eyes, yes? Yes, of course. Okay, now I’m back to English. Now, we’ve been walking up and down the alley looking for this one cafe. Okay. And then, boom, something appears right on Rue Teilhard.

We take our seats, the waiter greets us. Ah, bonjour, monsieur, mademoiselle. Bonjour, monsieur. I, I tell the waiter, I was like, oh, pardonnez moi, my French is a little rusty. And then he smiles, he doesn’t mind. And then he welcomes us to the The finest café in Paris. Oh, wow. C’est très belle ici. It’s light. It’s the delicious aroma of all the French delicacies.

Escargot, quiche Lorraine, bouffe aux guignols. Oui, oui, oui. Et maintenant, il est temps pour un peu d’eau. À votre santé, mon chéri. Sante. Oh, Abe. I feel so lucky. Oh, have my beautiful daughters here with me. And you. My darling husband.

We are the lucky ones. And, hey, I know you’re dealing with your own issues. And, yet, yeah, in spite of all that, Still here with all of us here for, for all of us.

100 percent day and night. I don’t know how you do it. I’ll tell you my secret. Love. I love you, Pomona. That’s what motivates me. Our family. It’s the most important thing in my life. And you? You are the most important person in my life.

Mama was so happy to see you both. Me too. You came at exactly the right time when we all needed you the most. Well, we need you too. I mean, what mom was going through, what you’re going through. Yeah, it’s been tough, but mom is being really brave. Chanel, how serious was that heart attack? Um, it was pretty serious.

It was bad enough that she may need a new heart. A heart transplant. Yeah, it’s not definite yet, but Kayla said that it is a possibility. Okay, well, we will deal with that when we know more. Um, you got married in the middle of all of this? Mhm. Um, Mama, she was feeling pretty down about the wedding possibly having to be postponed due to her surgery being moved up, and so then Johnny came up with the idea to just have a small ceremony here.

That’s great. Um I know Mama would just enjoy every moment. Oh yeah, she was so excited. We all were. Abe officiated. I guess that. How are you doing? I’m doing okay. You know, like I said, Mama, she’s being stoic and brave. So I’m just trying to do the same. At least, you know, in front of her. But I’m really really grateful that you guys are here, and I know that the twins can’t see mama right now But I think that just knowing that they’re close by will lift her spirits because it’s definitely lifting mine I can’t wait to hang out with those little munchkins.

Oh, you’ll definitely get a chance lots of chances Is there anything we could do right now? No, just just Being here, really. You know, we can take turns sitting with mama, so if you and dad want to go and shower and do whatever you need to do. Thank you. Thank you. That will be super helpful. Yeah, and I think we just have to keep positive energy.

Well, that’s what we’re going to do, as a family. As a family. Okay, we’re going to get through this.

I just can’t believe how quickly you pulled it all together. I have my ways. I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me. Not how much I love you and our family.

I love you too, Eric Brady. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. You and our son. Wait. Wait. What? What is it? Just

wait a minute, okay? What are you hiding behind your bag? I think I am ready for my valentine’s day present. Oh. I

think I’m ready too. And don’t you go anywhere. I wouldn’t dream of it. Right,

here’s some ice chips, mama. Oh, thank you, sweetheart. Well, uh, uh, Lonnie and Ela. Oh, uh, they’re checking in with Julie and making sure the twins haven’t torn the house up yet. Oh, you know what, um I think I’m gonna go get a cup of coffee. I’ll be right back.

Oh, Mama. Can you believe that Lonnie is here? It’s a miracle. I can’t wait to cook us all a big family dinner. Okay, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We need to get you feeling better before you start cooking up a storm. Ooh, hold up now. If anybody’s going to be cooking up a storm, it’s going to be me.

We’re working on some recipes that I think will be price approved. Oh, Eli. Let me, let me, let me. Look at you,

I was just seeing you and my sweet Lonnie today. I was so good for my soul. Not that having Chanel and Johnny and Abraham. Yeah, pretty much day and night hasn’t been wonderful and comforting, but now it feels complete. My husband, my kids, my grandkids, oh, close by, oh, it already feels like my heart is getting stronger.

Cause it’s, Just so ill to the brim with love.

A package will be arriving shortly. Do you hear me? Yeah, I hear you. Inside you’ll find a vial and a syringe. You’ll inject the contents of the vial into Michael’s IV bag. And then what? A man will suffer what will appear to be a fatal heart attack. And that will be that. And just so we’re clear, when this is done, you and I were square, right?

Come on, Stefan. You’re smarter than that. Just do the job, and don’t screw it up.

Find anything yet? No, not yet. I just need to study this more closely. There must be something here that can give us a clue as to where they took Tripp and Wendy. I’m just gonna take it apart frame by frame.

Okay, so now You’re right, he’s still young, is he not? Oui. So, what next? How about a stroll along the Seine? You know, Paris at night, I’m there for you. As I close your eyes, it’s gonna be spooky. Okay. I will film, I miss you. Hey, mental mom. You see the Eiffel Tower twinkling in the distance? I do see it.

Magnifique. Oh, that sure was a cold wind off the river. Let me warm you up, ma chérie. Merci beaucoup, mon amour.

Happy belated Valentine’s Day. Same deal. Will you promise me that we’re not ever gonna go this long again without some us time? I think we can talk my mom into babysitting this morning. Now that, you know, she reviews in a routine. Maybe some sleepover action as well? It’s something we can work on, alright?

Let’s All right, yeah.

You found the coffee, I see. Yeah, I did. And I am just so glad to have a moment alone with you. Can I have a hug, Dad? Oh, of course, of course. Oh, honey, honey, I’m so happy to have you home.

Yeah, me too. I’m just I’m really worried about her. Oh, sweetheart. We all are. But she’s so strong. Yeah. And we’re trying to be positive. Optimistic. Right. Yeah, um. How are you doing, Dad? I assume you want to know if I remember my past. I still don’t. But there is one thing. One thing that I do know. I’m so lucky to be your father.

Best father anyone could ask for. It means so much to me. And speaking of fathers. Where is the father of my twin grandbabies, huh? He’s with mom. He wanted to show her pictures of the babies. Oh, she’ll be loving that. So are you going to plan on staying here in Salem for a while? That’s the plan right now.

But Eli is being considered for a new job in D. C. It would be a really great opportunity. We both have mixed feelings about not being here in Salem.

Anyways, right now, I just, I want to focus on mom, and I want to focus on being here for you and Chanel. I appreciate that. I need another hug. Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely. Oh, honey. Your mother. Your mother is going to make it. She has to. Yeah. This is the

best news ever. Oh my. Would, would tomorrow be too soon, or can I come by? No, sure I can be there. No, I will be there. Yeah, I’m, I’m so happy for you. Alright, I’ll see you then. I’m, I’m so sorry. That wasn’t cool. And? She and Holly, they’re back. And Holly’s awake. Wow. That’s great news. No, it is a miracle. So this is it, huh?

This is how it ends.

Neat. Clean. Easy.

And then curtains down for hers, Michaels.

You know, Tripp is the most important person in my life. I’m so proud of the man that he’s become. He’s a good person. You know, he gets that from his dad.

He gets a lot from you too, Ava. Yeah, what? My sparkling personality? I’m pretty sure he gets some of his strength from you. Yeah, well I wish I felt strong right now. Listen, Ava, we’re going to find our son. Come hell or high water, we’re going to find him and Wendy and bring him home.

I’m trying super hard to be positive. And our trip to Paris definitely helped, but we’re still stuck in this godforsaken tank. Are we ever going to get out of here? I mean, what happened? Shh. No, no, there’s no what ifs. There’s no what ifs, okay? We are going to be found and rescued. Okay, I know that. I know that.

Hey, we just, we have to wait. We have to, we have to be patient. Hey, I, I, I, I love you. Wait. I can’t, I can’t wait to take you to Paris for real, okay? I damn well will. You promise? I promise. Je promets. Très bien, mon amour.

This, this is the ice cream incident that I was telling you about. I had no idea how powerful Rocky Roe was until this moment. Even Messy as can be, so beautiful, so beautiful. I see you’re showing off the babies. Yes, I am. Oh, and it’s too bad you only have about 50 million photos of them. Oh, more than that.

And I’m sure Julie will have taken even more and will have a full report for us of all their shenanigans. Mama, are you okay? I’m just happy to see Lonnie. Oh, uh, Disa. These are, I treasure these moments. They mean, they’re so precious. Mama, we are going to have a whole lot of time together. All of us. Yeah, we definitely will.

I mean, I’m personally looking forward to Alani coming home. And God will answer more of our prayers with your, your kind and generous heart.

That’s right. This family, we need you, Mama. We need you to stick around for a long, long time. You got that?

Got it. Oh, I love you my darlings. I love you so much.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I’m sorry, ma’am. Ma’am? Oh, yeah. Kristen, hi. Yeah, it’s Kristen. I did not know that was you. I’m sorry. Oh, well, now that you do, maybe you could call me Miss. Yes, absolutely. Uh, my head was someplace else. Anyway, I was going to run into you. Yeah, literally. Uh, so tell me, uh, what’s got you so hyper focused? Uh, it’s nothing.

Yeah, let me guess. Does it have to do with one genie, Teresa Donovan? No kidding, is that really her name? Oh my god, you guys are that close, huh? I mean, we were until recently. She just moved out, back with Brady. Excuse me? Yeah, she moved back out of the townhouse. With Brady. A little cream and two sugars, right?

Thank you. Yes. Thank you for letting me shack up here, again. Well, uh Tate’s room is just sitting there empty anyway. You know what makes me feel close to him? Just being in his room. Especially after that nightmare visit. You know, they say that every teenage boy at one point in time just tells his parents that he hates them.

You know, that’s what I keep telling myself anyway. Do you think it was just a rant? Like Pent up frustrations. I think he’s got a reason to be frustrated, right? Yeah, but not to take it out on us. As someone who was once a teenage boy, I know that you have all these feelings that you just don’t know how to deal with and sometimes they just fly out at the worst possible time.

Funny guess, is that Alex again? Oh, God. He will not leave me alone. Just give it a rest, Alex. Oh my God, it’s Tay. Hmm? Hi, honey. Are

you alright, darling? Would you like some water? It wasn’t me, I thought it was you. Mom.

Like

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

Tate, are you there? Yeah, I’m here. Okay, okay, your dad is here with me too. I’m gonna put you on speaker, okay? No, Mom, don’t. Hey, buddy, how you doing? We certainly hope that you’re calling to apologize for what you said to us. I’m not calling about that. Is there a problem? Mom, I wanted to let you know that, uh, Justin called me this morning.

He let me know that a spot opened up at one of the halfway houses in Salem. That’s fantastic! Yeah, he, uh, he said that I could transfer there if I want, since I’ve done a good job here. Um, Justin said that I needed to let you know. Buddy, that is great news. Yeah, we, we cannot wait to see you. So when is the, uh, transfer happening?

That’s the thing. I don’t want to go. Oh my

gosh, she’s awake. Hi. Sweetheart. Hi. Mommy’s here. I’m right here, baby. Hi. Hi. You’re awake. Hello, Holly dear. We’re so happy to talk to you. I’m gonna go call Sarah, okay? Yeah.

What time is it? What time? It’s, it’s 7. 30.

Did the party end?

Okay, let me get this straight. So you bought a huge rock, which Teresa found, but you didn’t propose to her? I was thinking about it, but I changed my mind. Oh my god, you are evolution in reverse. No, no, no, whoa, it’s actually the opposite. See, I gave this a whole lot of thought, because I didn’t know if this was a smart move or not.

Until I had this feeling wash over me, and I thought this could possibly be the biggest mistake of my life. Even though At times I do think I love Teresa.

At times you think. Oh honey, that is so romantic. And so what popped into your head? I went to a meeting. Oh. For people whose loved ones are addicts, and I sat there listening to them share their stories about what it was like to be in a relationship with somebody like Teresa. I was also thinking about Tate.

And, uh, that’s too much of a problem for your little brain to handle? No, this is not a small thing, Kristen. Like, this girl has a lot of things going on, a lot to work on. And I want to be supportive to that. But I also know that if I’m in the picture, it could pose a problem for her. She needs to just focus on herself, and I don’t want to mess things up.

Okay, Alex, I mean, she fell off the wagon. One time, and apparently she got right back up again. So don’t you think you’re overreacting just a touch? Charissa, no, I don’t. It hasn’t been sober for six months. And another thing that they said was that a recovering addict should take at least that amount of time before making any big decisions.

Ah. So now you’re an expert on, uh, addiction, right? Okay, you know what, I think you just got cold feet. Okay, did you not listen to a word she said? Alex, Alex, I did, I heard everything you just said. Okay. Okay, but you could have settled on a long engagement instead of pushing that woman right into Brady’s arms.

I didn’t push her into anybody’s arms, she decided to leave. Okay, yeah, because you broke her heart. And now she’s with Brady, my Brady. Oh, so you’re Brady? Yes! Okay, Brady hasn’t been yours for a very long time, ma’am. So if you actually think you stand a chance of getting back with him, It’s delusional.

Hey there. Chad! I’m running. Hi. Is this seat taken? It is not. Yeah? Come join me. Thank you. Oh, man, this place gets busier and busier every day. Which is, uh, which is great for my, my new niece in law, I suppose, huh? That’s right! I heard about Johnny and Chanel. It’s very exciting. I’m happy for them. Yes, yes.

Hopefully it works out better than the last time. It will. Come on. I believe in second chances. And, and thirds. Oh. Are, are you a hopeless romantic? I am a hopeful romantic. Always hopeful. Uh, I just dropped the kids off at school, and they were raving about their playdate with Victoria. That’s so sweet.

Although I don’t know how much she plays right now. What do you mean? Are you kidding me? The kids were cracking up at her little giggle fits, which is just, you know, they really need that right now, so. And I’m very glad that my mom is babysitting so much, so they can all hang out. How are you holding up?

You know, it’s, uh, it’s tough. I, uh, worry a lot about Thomas and Charlotte. And, and Doug and Julie, of course. You know, losing the home that they love is just All that history. It’s gotta be, gotta be really tough. And tough for you, too. Yeah. Well, I mean, God bless your mother. She’s a saint, taking us all in without even batting an eye.

She is that, but That’s what families do. She’s always said that. And we are all here for you. Thank you. What about you? What’s um, I mean, the thing with Xander must have shaken you up a bit. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I’m hanging in there. Did he, did he say what happened? He went for a run. That’s it. Everything else after that is a mistake and a framed job.

He didn’t shoot that detective. You sure? I am absolutely sure. Look, Xander has screwed up royally in the past. He was on a dark path, but he is right at himself. He’s seen the light. Well, you know what? I have a feeling that that light is you. I’m pretty sure it’s Victoria. Anyway, now we just need to get your brother to see the light and get it through his thick skull.

Bet Xander is innocent. Yeah.

Weird. Speak of the devil. EJ? Sarah, you won’t believe it. Holly woke up. What? Oh my god, that’s fantastic! What’s fantastic? I can’t tell you because it’s doctor patient confidentiality, but I am sure your brother will be calling you.

Honey, the party ended a long time ago. But now you’re home, safe and sound. Mom? Yeah? Why are you crying? Well, cause honey, I’m just so happy to see you. What is this? Oh, that’s a um, That’s a Japanese healing bowl. EJ got it as a gift on va Isn’t it beautiful? Honey, you were hurt. And you were in the hospital, but you’re home now.

You’re okay. You’re much better. Did it end? Did the party end? Oh, Sarah’s on her way.

Hello, love. It’s so good to see those beautiful eyes of yours again.

It’s okay, honey. You, you don’t have to talk. It’s okay. Everything’s gonna be okay. I’m sorry. I’ll get you some water. She still thinks it’s New Year’s Eve.

She has no idea what happened.

Hello? You guys heard me, right? We heard you, we just don’t understand. Tate, why would you not want to be transferred to Salem? You’d be so close by. That’s it. That’s the reason. I don’t want to be close by. You guys act like I should be grateful that I’m in here. Like this is a good thing. Like I’m guilty.

But I’m not. Neither of you believes in me enough to fight for me. That’s, that’s not true, buddy. We, we do believe in you and we, we are fighting for you. Then get me out of here. We’re working on it. Tate, let us prove to you that we believe in you, okay? We want that chance. I’ll think about it.

You should not have told him about my letter. Excuse me? This is my fault?

Hey, yeah, thanks for coming in early, Leo. Yeah, no, I’ll be there soon. Uh, no, I don’t imagine Everett’s gonna be coming in today. Yeah, hey, the um, the, uh, the article on the, uh, the Horton House piece is, yeah, great work. Yeah, okay, yeah, keep me posted. Thanks.

What conversation? Exactly! I’m sorry, I’m just really struggling with all this. Well, no, of course you’re struggling, it’s mind blowing. Hey, look, you can tell me that’s none of my business if you want. Um, but do you believe this guy? I don’t know what to believe. Uh, Everett and I saw Jada the other day and, um, wasn’t pretty.

I mean, there’s some real bad blood between the two of them. Except she doesn’t remember any of it. Or so he says. Yeah, that’s what he said. No memories of her, nothing of the marriage. But she had She’s got dozens of photos of them on her phone. They were married. While he and I were dating. While we were in love, supposedly.

Look, I, I mean, I gave him a chance. You know, but, uh, but I always thought something was, uh, was a little bit off with that one. I wish I had sensed that too. And now for all I know, he’s a pathological liar. Oh my god, this whole, this whole thing is such a mess.

Like her mother.

Um, I, I would like to get her to the hospital to do some comprehensive tests. Just, you know, an EEG, some blood work, pain assessment.

Now? No, no, no, no. Um, let’s let her get acclimated first. Well, whatever she needs, she’ll have it. Okay, um, for right now, that’s just gonna be ice chips and then, uh, water. And we can slowly work her up to liquids like broth, just nothing too hot. And then we can get to Planned foods. I’ll send a whole list.

Don’t worry. And okay, and then I would like to schedule for some tests Anything else we should do? Just let her go at her own pace and I’m gonna update her chart Okay, um, I’ll go get the ice chips

Thank you for coming. I know I’m not your favorite person right now. I’m here for Holly, not for you. I understand. You know that Sander shouldn’t be in jail right now. He didn’t shoot Detective Michaels. And he should be out on bail until we can prove it. Well, we’re going to have to agree to disagree on that one.

Unfortunately, Frisanda, the facts are not on his side.

You shouldn’t be here, Alex. You won’t answer any of my calls or texts. We are, and you know the reason for that. Well, we need to talk, Theresa. We need to have an adult conversation, huh? Oh, are you calling me childish now? I’m saying that you never gave me a chance to explain. You put up a wall and took off.

Oh. Maybe we should leave them to them. Why don’t we grab a coffee? No, we’re not grabbing coffee. Alex, she Look, she doesn’t owe you any explanations. And honestly, what Teresa and I need is for both of you to kindly go.

Oh my God, I didn’t know it was this bad. Yeah. Pretty tough to see, huh? Wow. The last time I was here was Christmas Eve. Such a special night. Beautiful tree, the family all around, singing, opening gifts. Yeah, I remember, um, I remember when, uh, when Abby brought me here and I got my Christmas ornament. And we stood right there, and then home, and Abby was wearing this red sweater and she just looked so beautiful.

It was, I’m sorry, that was insensitive. Yeah, I stick my foot in my mouth sometimes. No, no, no, not insensitive. Abby was my cousin. I loved her very much. You and I are friends now. Yeah. Oh, I forgot to, um, I forgot to tell you. The Christmas ornaments were saved. Really? Yes, they were just downstairs in the basement.

Uh, not a scratch on them. Ah, my God. Maggie and Julie must have been Thrilled, Doug, too. Yeah, they were, it’s just, they were beside themselves. They were, they were so happy. Wow. How are Thomas and Charlotte doing? They’re, um, they’re having a bit of a hard time. Charlotte keeps waking up at night terrified of a fire, but I had to give her a tour of the Karyakis Mansion, show her where all the smoke detectors were.

Oh. And, uh, and teach Thomas and Charlotte to call 9 1 1 in case of a another fire, so. Well, they’ve really had to grow up these past couple of years. Yeah, they sure did. I hope they understand why I’m not around anymore. Yeah, no, of course they do. I mean, the talk at Christmas helped. You know, with the fire, they, um, they want somebody to stay with them until they fall asleep.

So, we switch. Me, Doug, and Julie. Take turns. Your kids. They’re the sweetest. Yeah, they are. I might be biased. A little bit.

Okay. Well, uh, I should probably take some pictures. Yeah, yeah. Oh.

Um, EJ left? Uh, yeah. It was It was a little awkward given the circumstances. Got it. Sarah, I’m so sorry. No, it’s just, uh, It’s hard to reconcile EJ, the very doting and loving stepfather, with EJ, the intractable DA that refuses to consider that Xander might have been framed. Well, the truth will come out, Sarah.

Yeah, it better. So I know from the bottom of my soul that Xander is innocent.

Oh, she’s starting to wake up again. Oh, okay. Let’s give her some ice chips when she’s ready. Okay. Alright. Yeah.

Um, so, is this gonna keep happening, Sarah? Her waking up for a little bit and then going right back to sleep? Well, um, you know, like I said, it’s gonna be At her pace, but truthfully, Nicole, the fact that she regained consciousness at all is just It bodes extremely well for her to make a full recovery. I hope so.

I mean, I know this is going to take a while, but I just The fact that she opened her eyes and looked at me, that’s a miracle. I know, I know. Oh, Mom. She’s She’s probably going to need some physical therapy from being in a coma for so long, but the one thing I do know for certain Is that she is going to be surrounded with love and attention and that is going to be so so helpful for her recovery Yeah, I agree.

This is definitely a full house I call it a mixed bag of nuts and it’s only gonna get nuttier when Tony and Anna come home from Europe. Oh my god. I love Anna so much. She’s so hysterical. She’s got a heart of gold And it takes a heck of a woman to be with a DiMera man and oh and A karyakis, you know, they often live in the gray area.

That is, that is very well put. Yeah. And Sarah, since, since we have that in common, you and I, if you ever need to talk about anything, I’m here. Thank you, Nicole. I may take you up on that.

Well, some rooms aren’t so bad. Yeah, and some rooms are pretty ravaged. Even still, I have no doubt that this house will rise from the ashes. Absolutely. There’s no way this family is going to let the Horror Legacy die. So I have to, I have to take this. It’s my brother. Yeah, sure. Hey. Yeah, you got my message.

Yes, I’m sorry, Chad. I couldn’t pick up when you called. Things have been rather busy here. Holly’s awake. What? Oh, my God, that’s incredible. Holly’s awake. We’re thrilled. She’s weak and a little confused, but she opened her eyes and talked to us. Sarah’s in there now, examining her. Yeah, I was with Sarah when you called.

I got the sense that there was some good news. The best. Nicole’s over the moon, obviously. Oh, of course. I’m so happy. Tell Nicole how happy I am for her. It’s amazing. I will. And how are you and Thomas and Sharma? We’re hanging in. Well, I’ve, uh, been staying on top of, uh, the case and the police haven’t nailed anything down yet about the arsonist.

No, nothing about the arsonist or the phone call, you know, as far as they tell me. I’ll keep on them, Chad. Thank you. And, um, and give, give Holly a hug for me. I will.

That is so great about Holly. That’s amazing, and we, we really needed some good news. That’s for sure. And if you don’t mind my asking, what did you mean about the phone call? Um, so, uh, when we, uh, when we got out of the house, uh, and we got across the street and watched the house burn down, I got a, I got a call.

The voice was distorted and they said, maybe next time you’ll listen. Oh my god. Yeah, I mean, it’s gotta be because the, uh, the article that we published about the opioid crisis. The, the drug raids. Pointing the finger at Clyde Weston. Yeah, I have no doubt that it’s Weston. Believing it and proving it are two very different things.

Brady, please stay out of this. She has to talk to me sometime. No, she really doesn’t. Wait, do you speak for Teresa now, too? No, he’s not speaking for Teresa. I am speaking for Teresa. And I have a lot of important things on my mind right now, and they don’t include you. I’m sorry. So just, you need to go. Look, that drama has nothing to do with me.

I came here to speak to you about Rachel. We’re not gonna speak about Rachel right now. Listen, I thank you for the valentine, I really do, but I need you to go. Hush! Hush! Hush! It’s Tate! It’s Tate! Tate! Shh! Everyone! Hi, Tate! Did you decide? Chad, you have to

believe that they’re gonna connect the dots. To prove that Clyde Weston gave the order to set fire to this house. Well, yes, you can count on, uh, on that. I have another surprise for you. I told you about the Christmas ornaments being pristine and in one piece and all, but I saved, saved something good for last.

What? Tom

and Alice’s chair. Wow. Yeah, no, uh, no fire damage, no water damage. No, nothing. It’s perfect. Wait, that’s amazing. How? I don’t know. It was just sitting here in the middle of the blaze. That’s freaky. Yeah. Like, in a good way. Yeah. Have, have you sat in it? Sat in it? Are you kidding me? I thought we would, you know, and all this stuff.

No, I’d be the first person in history to get a stain on this thing. No way. Yeah, I’m scared to even touch it. Yeah, do it. Be brave. Oh, you’re doing it. Oh, my God. Oh, no. It’s like touching royalty. I know. Actually, um, she said she’s gonna rebuild all around it. Yeah, restore everything to its original glory.

For generations of importance to come. Like your grandchildren and great grandchildren. Yeah, I hope so. Are you still with dad? Yes, I am, but I won’t put you on speaker this time. No, it’s okay. Are you sure? Yeah. Yeah, I guess. Okay. Okay, we’re both here now. So I’ve been thinking about the whole transferring to Salem thing.

And I called Justin again after we talked, and Well, he thought it was kind of lame, my whole not going there, so I think I’m gonna make the move to Salem. Buddy, that’s, that’s great news. This sounds like you have put a lot of thought into this, and we think this is a really wise decision. So, uh, when is this happening?

And then, by the way, we’re gonna, we’re gonna be with you every step of the way. Thanks. Well, I, um, I gotta go. Love you! Hey, buddy, I love you too! Um, I’ll see you soon.

He’s coming! Our son! Our son’s coming home! He’s coming back! Oh, my God. Ah. I can’t thank you enough, Sarah. I’m very, very happy to help my niece. And my mom is going to be so excited when she hears that Holly woke up. Is it all right if I tell her? Yes, of course. And then we’ll set up a time for Maggie to come by.

Great. Great. And, uh, I will set up an appointment for her in her online medical account. You can look at her records there. And, I’m here. 24 7. Whatever you need, you just call me and I will be here. Oh, thank you, Sarah. Oh my goodness, this is, this is one of the happiest days of my life. Yeah, I’m just, I’m so thrilled for you, Nicole.

I really am. And for Holly, of course. All right, I’m gonna see myself out. Okay. Okay. Thank you. All right. Enjoy your girl. I will.

Make sure you’re nice and warm.

Everything all right? Yes. It couldn’t be better. Oh, EJ. You know, I have, I have so many people that I need to call, but I just want to save her this moment. My little girl came back and everything is right in the world. She came back. Yeah. Okay.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Xander, how are you holding up? About how you’d expect. At least they let me out myself to talk to you about it. How’s everyone doing since the fire? Well, uh, Chad and the kids and Doug and Julie are settling in with my mom. They all went to the Horton house this morning to assess the damage from the fire.

Thank God none of them was hurt. Or worse. Zander, I wish we could get you out of here, but after they found the gun at your apartment. And I, I’m, I’m so sorry. I, I should have stayed while the police searched the apartment, but Victoria was crying. She woke up from all the commotions. I just, I took her to mom’s.

There’s nothing you could have done differently, Sarah, that would have helped. Someone would have found a way to plant that gun, whether you’d been there or not. I am being set up, Justin. You do believe that, right? I not only believe it, but I’m going to prove it. And hopefully, Michaels will explain everything once he wakes up.

If he wakes up. And if he does, it might be a while. Time is not on our side, obviously. Planting that gun, that’s, that’s just the beginning. Whoever’s out there setting me up They’re planning the next move as we speak. Rafe? Hey. Rafe, I’m being framed. You have to believe me. I mean, I didn’t shoot Harris Michaels.

I barely know the guy. I have no connection to him. Right. Yeah. But I am sure that you do have a connection to the $50,000 that was placed in your checking account this morning from an untraceable offshore account.

What

now? Quite, oh, I think you know what now, Stephen, but. Why don’t you come on out here and pay me a visit, so I can clarify? I don’t think that’s such a good idea. Last time I was there I got in trouble with the cops. It’s not a request, my friend. It’s an order. Oh God. Oh God,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris. Oh, no, no, no, no. Stace, Stace, Stace, Stace, Stace, Stace.

Hey. Hey. No loitering. Well, I wouldn’t have to loiter if you just let me in there. You know the rules. Family only. But I am the closest thing to family that he’s got. For the last time, lady, I’m asking you to leave before I have you removed from the premises.

You haven’t found anyone who remembers seeing Trip or Wendy? No. Not at the, uh, caching Cupid event, no. And I have hit every single shop and restaurant here at Horton Square, showing people photos, and so far, nothing. Yeah, I’ve been racking my brain, punching in every possible lead that I can think of in the database, searching for clues.

I’ve been all over the surveillance footage from around town where the event took place. Okay, well you just stay on top of that. And I have a list of all the people that signed up for the event. So I am gonna be busy. Checking in with those folks here. And it’ll be a little while till I’m back at the office.

So hang in there, Steve. We’re gonna find your boy. And Wendy, too. You can count on it. Thanks, man. Keep me posted.

Come in. Hello, Mr. Johnson. Is this a bad time?

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

What do you want, Meliones? Oh, you seem to be in a foul mood, Mr. Johnson. I assume it’s because your son is missing? How did you know that? Well, I just came from the hospital where I was having my uncle examined, and I overheard one nurse talking to the other that the good doctor did not show up for his shift today.

What does that have to do with you? So I repeat my initial question, what do you want? I just wanted to give you my, my take on it, if you will. Your take? Yes, on your missing son. It struck me that it would be, um What is the expression? Karmic justice, if something did happen to your boy. For as you well know, my daughter was killed by the pawn and you, well you just stood there watching.

Which makes you equally responsible for her death. Please officer, I’m, I’m, I’m having a really hard day here. You see my son, Tripp, he’s um, He’s a doctor here at this hospital and he’s gone missing. And, uh, actually it was Tripp who, who was the one who helped Harris Michaels, um, that night on the loading dock.

So if it wasn’t for him, and for me finding him in the first place, you know, he, he may not even be with us right now. So I know, I know that It would do him well to know that I was here. So maybe, maybe you could just, you know, bend the rules just a little bit? No can do. Okay. Fine. Fine. You know what? What’s your name?

Godfrey. That’s right. Um, Officer Godfrey. You know what I’m gonna call? I am gonna call Commissioner Ray Fernandez. You know, yeah, that’s right, your boss. Mm hmm. And, um, we’re very close, so I’m sure that he will tell you to stop being such a tight ass. I’ll save you some time, Miss Vitale. The commissioner’s the one who ordered me otherwise.

Said I shouldn’t let you in to see Michael’s. Under any circumstances.

50, 000! I have no idea how, when, or why that was transferred to my account. The why is obvious, and further proof that Xander is being framed, right? Exactly! If I was doing something nefarious, I wouldn’t broadcast it to the world by having a huge sum of money deposited to my personal checking account.

What about the text sent to your phone? Is it done? Or the very incriminating fact that the gun used to shoot Harris was found in your apartment? I’ve told you, I don’t know how that got there. Which he has already explained, so if you have no other evidence Actually, I do. An eyewitness to the crime.

As usual, my Leonis, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Oh, don’t play me for a fool, Mr. Johnson. You were the pawn’s handler. And my old friend Victor sent you two to Greece. Aria, to be specific. To send me a message, to see things his way, huh? Only, the pawn took that message one step too far. And killed my Katarina in cold blood.

Look, I don’t know what game you’re trying to play here, man. But you got it all wrong. First of all, I didn’t even know you had a daughter. And even if I did, and what you’re saying wasn’t complete nonsense What proof do you have? Did you actually see this pawn kill your daughter?

We have a witness who saw you running near the bistro the night of the shooting. He said it looked like you were in a hurry. Of course I wa Doesn’t everyone who was running look like they’re in a hurry? I mean, I was just, it was cold. I was trying to keep my heart rate up. I went in for some exercising to clear my head.

You believe me, don’t you, Sarah? Yeah, of course I do. Well, you might have second thoughts when you see this.

What? No, that, that can’t be. It’s not. That’s not me. I mean, sure, that man is dressed in similar running clothes, but I bet thousands of people have that running gear. Rafe, you can’t even see his face. There’s no way in hell you can identify the shooter as Xander based on that photo.

Um, how’s he doing, please? Um, can you tell me if there’s been any improvement in his condition? I’m sorry, but unless your family Please, I mean, I’m Nurse, um, Michelle. Look, Harris doesn’t have Any family. I’m Ali Scott. And I know that, If I was in there, I know that it could help his recovery. You know, doctors say that comatose patients, they respond to their loved ones voices.

Sorry. I really wish I could help.

Thanks for stopping by, Stephen. Yeah. You’d be lucky if I get out of here. Listen, why are we meeting out here as opposed to inside the visitor’s room? Cause I need a little fresh air, and you need some anonymity. If you’re worried about getting shot, don’t be. Ain’t gonna happen unless I order it. The fellas up in the towers there, they, uh, happen to be preoccupied at the moment.

What about him? Huh? You on your payroll too? No, he’s just here to keep a watch over the yard, make sure we don’t have any unwelcome visitors. Alright, well, here I am. A welcome visitor. So why don’t we make this brief? Why don’t you tell me what the hell you want from me? Well, what I want is to see you face to face.

To tell you how disappointed I am in you. You had an order to shoot and kill. Yet, somehow Harris Michaels is still alive. Now, I think it’s because you didn’t really want that son of a bitch to die. Right? So, Stephanie, if you disobeyed an order, there will be consequences.

Look, I did exactly what I was ordered to do. Yeah? What do you want a gold star? For what? Dressing up as Xander Kiriakis? Sending Michaels that bogus text from Ava? That’s child’s play, man! Any third grader could have done that!

Ava! Where are you?

You. What are you

Get off.

Twice. How the hell was I supposed to know that Ava was gonna show up and call her son to help save him? Well, next time, you shoot him three times. Or you aim for his head, or you kick his ass in the river afterwards if you have to. Next time. There’s not gonna be a next time. I got news for you. There’s no sign that Michaels is gonna wake up or even pull through.

I did exactly what you asked me to do, and I did it for Gabby.

Please tell me she’s still okay.

Your wife is still breathing. For now.

I can tell you most emphatically that the man in that picture is not me. Obviously somebody dressed up like me to commit the crime and then planted the gun in our apartment. I’m being framed, can’t you see that? Rafe, come on. You know damn well when this much evidence falls into place so easily, there has to be other forces at play.

Okay. Okay. Alright, okay. So, so let’s say that we’re, we’re gonna go with that theory. The, uh, other forces at play theory? Tell me, Xander, who would want to frame you and why? I wish I knew. I mean, no one comes to mind offhand. Except maybe Except maybe Possibly one of the DiMeras. I mean, we all know there’s no love lost between the DiMeras and the Kyriakises.

And, Rafe, you should know that I Recently received a mysterious phone call. An altered voice instructed me to eliminate something. Now, I, I thought it was E. J. or one of the DiMeras messing with me, so I went over to the mansion to confront E. J. about it. And? E. J. wasn’t there, so I ended up talking to Stefan.

Okay. Alright, so let me get this straight. You received a phone call soliciting you for a murder for hire, and instead of going to the police, you went to the DiMeras. What were you thinking?

I wasn’t.

I admit I did not actually witness the pawn shoot my daughter. For I was unconscious during the attack, but when I woke up, I saw my Katerina lying there on the floor, dead. So, if you were unconscious when your daughter was killed, how can you be sure the pawn was a shooter? There were only three people in the room with me when I was attacked.

You, me, and the pawn, who you know is John Black, huh? I have no doubt that Mr. Black was there in Aria that very day. And though I did not see his face, I will never forget those eyes, those murdering eyes. Eyes are the gateway to the soul, Mr. Steve Johnson. And when I look into your one eye, I can read you like a book.

And so I know, that you know, that every word I have shared with you today is true.

Now you listen to me, dude. Whatever happened to your daughter all those years ago Had nothing to do with me or John. I will say this, and I hope for the last time. I know in my heart, si cardiamo, that John Black, a. k. a. The Pawn, killed my daughter in cold blood, and you were an accessory to that crime. Well, then your heart is telling you lies.

No, it is not! I swore on my Katarina’s sword that I would avenge her death. And I will not rest until I make good on that promise. So what the hell is going on in here?

I’m going to give you two some time to be alone. I need to get back to the office. But you can Get me out of here on bail now, right, Justin? Now that Rafe agrees I’ve been set up. Rafe agreed to consider that you might have been set up. Look, Xander, with all the evidence pointing at you, I am not going to give up fighting for you, but I’m afraid we may have a tough road ahead of us.

Thanks, Justin.

Look, I know that he doesn’t want to get your hopes up, but every bit of evidence points to a setup, and Rafe sees that now, too. Yeah, well, if Rafe’s just playing us What do you mean? Well, he might just be pretending to be an ally, to get me to say something incriminating that he can use against us. No, he’s not doing that.

Well, whatever he’s doing, and whoever’s out there trying to make me look like a murderer, I God, Sarah, I just, I finally turned my life around with you and our, our precious Victoria. I, and I was so proud of the work I was doing at The Spectator, and even more proud, I’d gained your trust. But you haven’t lost.

I’m so proud. Very grateful for that. But, I don’t know, it’s just Being implicated in this terrible crime is It’s just making me doubt myself all over again. Why? Why doubt yourself? You know that you’re innocent. Sarah, you know all too well. Trouble follows me wherever I go. It doesn’t matter how hard I try to walk the straight and narrow and be a good person.

Stand up citizen, always makes some bad choice along the way, or someone I hurt along the way decides to punish me, and that’s obviously what’s happening there.

I wouldn’t blame you, Sarah, if you just wanted to get away from all this. Sam! No, Sarah, let me finish.

I love you, darling. You and Victoria, you’re, you’re everything to me. But I want you to be happy. I don’t want you to be burdened by the fallout from all the bad choices I’ve made. So, If you decide, That you just want to take Victoria and start a new life without me, I will understand.

You don’t, Godfrey. Just take a break. I’ll relieve you of your duties for a while. Harrison, you’ve

been on the force for about what, four months now? Already in here fighting for your life? Listen man,

I knew from the minute that I heard you, that you were tough. That you were a tough SOB. Not just because you were a Navy SEAL, man. It’s because that’s who you are. You don’t quit, you don’t give up, you’re a fighter. So don’t you go. But you’re not giving up on me now, right man?

You’re gonna get out of here. You’re gonna get out of here and then When you heal up, we’re gonna find the bastard that did this to you and we’re gonna take him down. Shouldn’t be here, right?

Why not? Rafe, why are you so hell bent on keeping me from seeing Harris? It’s for your good and for his. Okay. I will try and accept that. Okay. Look, I just, Rafe, I’m really, I’m really sorry. Sorry about what? About, about this. This whole mess. I mean, I You know, if I hadn’t gotten involved with Clyde and his drug operation, none of this would have happened.

That’s not your fault. I know you and Harris were just trying to bring Clyde down. Yeah, a whole lot of good that did us. Yeah. Please, please let me, let me just see him. I mean, if something happens and I don’t get to say goodbye,

You know what I’m gonna do? I’m, I’m gonna, I’m gonna go on social media and I’m gonna say all kinds of mean hurtful things about you. Oh, are you? Mm-Hmm. . Yeah. I’m gonna say that, that Ray Hernandez is, is just terrible and he’s has no heart. Oh, come on. You wouldn’t want me to do that. Mm, well, I probably wouldn’t care.

No, I’m not even on social media anyway. No. So, yeah, and despite what some people think. I actually do have a heart. Yeah, you do. Yeah. Alright, so go on. Go in there and see him. Really? Yeah, before I change my mind. Thank you.

Please, Clyde. Don’t hurt Gabby. She’s suffered enough. You just followed my orders. Gabby will be in perfect health. What about Tripp Johnson, huh? Apparently he’s missing. I assume you had something to do with that. Well, if I did, it was only for insurance purposes. Insurance, huh? Hey, you know better than me, Ava’s gone soft.

She’s weak. Thanks to that do gooder Michael. So, if her boy Tripp has gone missing It’s all on her.

Does Eva know what you need from her? Well, if she doesn’t, she soon will.

A hell of a nerve showing up here after everything you pulled. He was just about to leave. Oh, Mr. Brock. Are you not curious as to what we were discussing before you arrived? I think I can guess. You’re here to taunt us about how you were messing with my head during our last encounter, am I close? Actually, I was talking to Mr.

Johnson about my daughter. I’m certain you may remember her. Mr. Black, my Katarina. Never heard of her. And as far as I know, I’ve never laid eyes on you until you showed up here in Salem. So I certainly don’t know anything about your daughter. Well, you will remember everything about her all in good time. I do hope your son turns up, Mr.

Johnson. Yes, I hate to think what a person like you would resort to if anyone were to harm or, dare I say, even kill your precious child. What? I assume you would, uh, seek revenge, would you not, huh? Don’t you ever. I threatened my son, do you hear me? Get out! Get out!

Okay, Amy Ava has, you know, softened. Like you said. It’s because she cares for Harris. She’s human, she has a heart. She’s also smart. And Savvy, that’s why she has been loyal to you down the line. Would she hire you to do public relations for her, sir? I am simply trying to point out that she has not blown out of the water yet.

I mean, yes, she is upset about her son, but other than that Hey, man, if you’re so concerned about Ava Vitale, get your ass back to Salem, keep an eye on her, make sure she keeps her mouth shut and stays loyal, all right? Okay. I will. One more thing, Stephen. If somehow, Detective Michaels recovers from his wounds and regains consciousness, you better make damn sure that he loses it again.

Permanently, this time.

Hey,

Harris, I am here,

and I hope you can hear me. Oh, you know I’ve been thinking about when we first met, and how you had my back, and you believed in me right from the get go. Back when we were in Bayview.

You know, you saved me. So many times.

Mostly you saved me from myself.

And how did I repay you?

I pushed you away.

God, I didn’t want to.

But you know me.

I am my own worst enemy. Harris,

you have loved me. Like no one has ever loved me.

And I love you for that.

God, it’s so many other reasons. I can’t lose you. I can’t lose you. Oh

my God, Harris.

I don’t get it, partner. What was that? Bastard’s motive for showing up here. I don’t know, John. He was just spinning some yarn about the past. He’s trying to take our attention off the fact that he’s conning Maggie. But I don’t have another minute to waste on that creep. My son is missing. Right, right, right, right, triple in here.

I’m sorry. That, um, that brings me to what I found when I was walking around the square. Any leads? The gal that was working the Sweet Bits counter, she remembered Wendy coming through there early afternoon, shortly after the geocaching event started. Wendy was chatting her up about these clues that she was following.

Anything else? Did anyone see Tripp? Actually, yes. Eric and Sloan briefly ran into Tripp and Wendy when they were coming home from dinner from the Horton Square. But apparently, Eric and Sloan were in such a hurry, they You never got around to asking them where they headed to. I’m sorry, buddy.

I will get my revenge against you, Steve Johnson. But before I do,

I must deal with you, John. My pawn. I will take great pleasure in playing you like a fiddle until all your strings are broken. Then, and only then, John Black, until all my tasks are finally completed, will you finally pay the ultimate price for what you have taken away from me?

Xander, there was a time that I would have believed that you were guilty. But, the Xander that I know And love today wouldn’t risk throwing away his life with his daughter. Nor with you. Nor that. So no, I will not run away from you, Xander. Because despite everything that we have been through, or maybe because of everything that we have been through, I do believe you now, and I trust you.

And I am With you, through this entire thing, no matter what.

God, I’m so sorry I went on that stupid run. I should have stayed home with you. Well, you did come back, and We did make up for some lost time. That was one of the best nights of my life. Until it turned into one of the worst.
