THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I can’t believe you’re actually gone, Uncle Vic.

You know, I keep thinking that any day now you’re going to show up. You’re going to be laughing at all of us for being gullible enough to think you’re actually dead.

And you’re going to take Maggie in your arms. She’s gonna be so happy, and relieved, and…

Man, you too.

You too had a love that was stronger than space or time.

The kind of love like that, that never dies. I couldn’t agree more. Hey. I heard you were flying in. You’re um, Poe’s daughter, right? Not Ciara, but… Chelsea. Chelsea Brady. Hi.

You

will be missed, Victor. Despite it all.

Hey, Mom.

Ev, you finally remembered you have a mother.

What do you want, Teresa? I was just calling to see if you wanted to go to your grandfather’s funeral together. You know, as a family. Teresa, we may be co parents, okay, but we are definitely not family. Not now, not ever.

I wonder how long it will take before I walk into this room and don’t expect to see Uncle Victor on the couch complaining about something or other. Like me having that second helping of bacon at breakfast? Or how my hack of a husband couldn’t be bothered to accompany us on this momentous family occasion.

Or how I’m disappointing him pretty much on a daily basis. But you know what? He did really love and care for us all. In his own weird curmudgeon y way. Well, what do you say we toast the old man? Yes. Yasu, Victor. Yasu, Victor. Yasu, Victor. Celebrating Uncle Vic’s demise, are we? Come here.

Oh, my darling Vic. Will

I ever say goodbye to you? Like

sand through the hourglass. To the days of our lives. Hey, Mom.

Oh, Sarah. I’m

so glad you’re here. Where else would I be?

I’m just, I’m sorry that Melissa couldn’t be here. As am I. But she was getting over a nasty bug. I had a video call from her and Nathan and Melanie this morning. They send their love. I’m really glad that you got to speak to them. Me too. But we’re gonna have a house full of Curiatas. Tawn or Victor. Heaven help us.

We’re not celebrating Uncle Vic being gone. We’re toasting to his memories, you jackass. That’s what I meant. That’s not what you said. So I misspoke. Sue me. You know what? I don’t, I don’t want to hear it. And I, I am so glad that Sarah has left you and is now with Rex. An actually decent human being with a conscious.

And I am so glad, thank God, she is having his baby and not yours. Not true.

Oh, come on, Mom. Oh, don’t. Oh, come on, Mommy. Okay? You come back to town, to Salem, and remember, I begged you not to. And you don’t even have the guts to tell me you’re here. I mean, your own mom, your own mother, your own mother, who actually put her own freedom at risk to make sure that you were safe, and sound, and free, away from the authorities.

Mom, if you could listen. Please, I have good news on that last front. Brady agreed not to press charges. So, no worries. Oh, okay, no worries. No worries. You know, this is just like when you were 16 and you thought you could just flash those twin dimples and you’d be out of any kind of trouble.

So it still works, okay. But honey, where were you all this time? I went to see Lucas at Statesville. I’m glad that he, I’m glad that you did that. I’m sure he was glad to see you. But you couldn’t have been there the whole time. No, I was with Chloe.

Whoa, what’s up? Oh, hi. Uh, I take it you needed some caffeine as well before facing a mausoleum full of grieving Kiriakises. Yeah, only I wish it was a very strong cocktail. Indeed. And, uh, hey, on a happier note, I hear congratulations are in order. I wish you and Xander all the best. Yeah, I bet you do. Since my engagement keeps Xander away from you and Sarah, and the baby she’s carrying.

What isn’t true, Bonnie? Is Sarah not having Rex’s baby? Of course she is! Then what isn’t true? Well, it’s Andrew’s, uh, I don’t know, how did you put it? Um, a horror show. Wait, are you seriously defending him? He locked you and Susan Banks in Maggie’s gardening shed. But he feels really bad about it. Oh my, so he feels really bad about it and all is forgiven?

Susan Banks is dead because of him, or at least indirectly because of him. Not only that, he thought nothing involving Gwen and Leo in his miserable scheme. So we’re finally getting down to it. You see, Barney, your stepson here can’t stand the sight of me because I ruined his little extramarital crush.

Yeah. St. Sonny here was itching to jump Leo’s seemingly reformed bones until he found out the little snake is just as crooked as always. That is a damn lie. Tell it to your husband. That is unless he’s off somewhere cuckolding you yet again. Just shut up about Sonny! That’s enough! Both of you! Okay? This is the last thing Maggie needs today.

What about these? I I think they would look lovely with that outfit.

What’s going on, man?

Huh. It’s just that Victor gave me these on our 10th wedding anniversary. I mean, mind you, 10 is the traditional 10th anniversary gift, but I can still hear Victor saying, No wife of mine is going to get 10 on our anniversary.

And then he promised that he’d do his best to make it to the 30th. And that he was going to give me these in advance.

You guys, you two had something so special. Yes, we did. Oh, Sarah.

I know at some point, I’ll be grateful for all the time I had with Victor. Those sweet, sweet memories. But right now, all I feel is longing. I long to hear his voice. And, and his smile. And, you know, his arms around me.

Of course you didn’t. I, I know this is probably just in very cold comfort right now, but… Remember, that you always have me. And you have so many people around you that love you and will always, always be here for you. You are not alone. And you never will be.

I’m, uh, I’m a lot better now that I’ve been seeing your mom. That’s good. And if there’s anyone in the world that can help you process those feelings about Beau and Granddad, it’s Marlena. You’re here.

This, this, this woman will, will not take no for an answer. Let me guess, it’s Teresa? Oh, is that who you were talking to when we came in? What does she want? Nothing much. Oh wait, she wants us to get back together. I’m sorry for not recognizing you. It’s okay. I only know who you are because I’ve seen your photo online.

And various Salem publications. Ah, well I hope they’re all flattering ones. Naturally. Besides, why would you recognize me? It’s not like we grew up together. I didn’t even know that Bo Brady was my dad until high school. Ah, Chelsea, I’m really sorry about your dad. Thank you. We’re still hoping he pulls through, though.

No, we all are.

A world without Victor Kariakis. Just doesn’t seem right. No, it does not. That guy was such a huge presence on all of us. I don’t know if you knew, but I’ve, I’ve been living in London for like the last decade. And, I just feel really guilty I didn’t come home more to see him, you know? Chelsea? Is that you?

Theresa, oh my gosh, it’s so good to see you. Hi, you too. Where’s your son? I, I absolutely love whenever you post pictures of him online, he is so cute, and I cannot believe how big he’s gotten. Yeah, yeah, me neither. I didn’t take him with me, I didn’t want to take him out of school, you know, so… I’m here to represent both of us.

And to be here for Brady, of course. Sure. Chelsea, I’m so sorry about your grandfather. Thank you. Oh my god, and Uncle Bo! Is there any improvement? I’m afraid not. Oh, sorry to interrupt. I don’t believe that we’ve met. Oh my god, I’m so sorry. Uh, Teresa, this is Alex. He is my cousin on the Cariocas side. And Teresa is my cousin on the Brady side.

So we’re not related? Definitely not. Huh.

Well, it was really great to see you both. Um, uh, I’m gonna run up to the house. I want to see Maggie before the funeral starts. Right, right, and we’ll catch up after the service. Okay, sounds good.

So? So, it’s nice to finally meet you, Theresa. Oh. You’ve heard a lot about me, then, have you? Uh, oh, you’re from Brady, you mean? No, no, not much at all, actually. I’m sure that’s not true. I’m sure you’ve all heard that I’m stone cold and, and just mean. No, no, not at all, but is that true? Oh no, it is patently untrue actually.

Oh, okay. I happen to be a wonderful person. I have a very soft heart. Oh. Ah, and I’m actually hoping that the father of my child will see me that way too. Ah, so you’re hoping for like a redo with him? I was… Hoping that with Victor’s passing, we could all get closer together, you know? I mean, since Victor’s our son’s great grandfather.

Uh, and Brady and I knew we’d always have a lifelong connection, you know, because of our son, but… Uh…

Just… This really brings it home, doesn’t it? I guess that makes sense. Hm. What does Brady think about you being back? Oh, he’s… I’m good and fine with it, except he wants nothing to do with me.

So, what did you say when Teresa suggested getting back together? I said in no uncertain terms we will never, ever get back together. Really? Though you really would never consider trying again either? Oh, Belle, come on. How can you ask me that? Have you forgotten about the hell that she put me through? I learned my lesson from losing Rachel’s custody case that some women are just…

Unredeemable. Oh, come on. You’re not comparing Teresa to Kristen, are you? Maybe, maybe I am. You know, look, I know Teresa hasn’t reached the genius, treachery levels of Kristen, but give her some time.

Have to admit that you were tremendously relieved when you found out that Sandra had moved on with you. Tremendously relieved? Chloe, I am happy for you, like I said. Okay, well, in the interest of at least one of us being honest. I have to admit that I was kind of freaked out when I found out that Sarah was pregnant.

Because if that baby had turned out to be Xander’s and not yours, my engagement would have blown up before it even started.

Sonny, please, just let this go. The last thing Uncle Vic wants is for us to be at each other’s throats today. Okay? Sure about that? Uncle Vic always did love a good old family brawl. He doesn’t have a point in that, man. They left it. You know who else doesn’t like it when we squabble? I’ll tell ya. Maggie.

And the last thing she needs is for you two to come to blows and break some of her precious bric a bracs. Now I’m gonna go see Henderson and make sure everything is all set up. And the two of you? Y’all gonna behave. You got that? Right? Okay. We will. For Maggie. Yeah. For Maggie. Yeah. So

how do I look? Lovely, as always. You ready to go downstairs? In a minute.

You know, Sarah, it’s not too late. To leave for what? To tell Xander the truth.

I couldn’t have lived with myself if I didn’t say goodbye. Especially because we had so much unfinished business.

I know that your father was very hard on you. But he did love you. With all of his heart. Yeah. Well.

We should probably get over to the house. Wait, wait, wait. Before you do that, um, So you said that you were with Chloe before you came to see me. Yeah, so? Well, I’m just wondering if you went to see her because you still love her.

Okay, I admit it. You and Xander being engaged is not the worst thing to happen to my relationship with Sarah. Yeah, what do you know? A little bit of honesty for once. Okay, okay. As long as we’re both being forthcoming here, how did you feel when Philip showed up at your door, alive and well? Well, I was, I was shocked, of course.

Not only to know that he was alive, but to learn about all the horrible things that he’d done to Brady. He was not in his right mind. I know that. And I’m really glad that he got the help that he needed. And, uh, who knows? Maybe one day we can be friends again. I’m sure my brother would really like that.

Well, okay, I guess I gotta get going. And I will see you at Victor’s Memorial. I will see you there.

You see, you don’t even have to bother to answer that question, because I can see it in your eyes that you are still in love with Chloe as much as you were in high school. How I feel about Chloe doesn’t matter. She’s engaged to Xander, my idiot cousin. Hmm. Now, let’s go pay tribute to my father, okay? Okay.

That’s fine. But just know, this conversation is not ended.

I’m sure it hasn’t.

I think after everything that I’ve been through, I deserve a nice, calm relationship with a decent woman. Sorry, I don’t think those terms apply to Teresa. No offense, Sean. No, no, none taken. I mean, I know that my cousin, um… She can be a handful. Yeah, that puts it mildly. Alright, well, as entertaining as this has been, talking about your love life all morning, I think if we keep going we’re going to be late for the service, so we should get going.

You’re right. Lead the way.

Now what makes you so sure that Brady isn’t into you? I mean, other than the fact that he told me straight out and then treated me like something that he wanted to scrape off the bottom of his shoe. Hmm. Yeah. Interesting. What is? Well, the old me would tell you that he’s playing hard to get, and you need to continue to pursue him relentlessly, non stop.

Okay, and what would the new you say? The new me would tell you that no isn’t a maybe. And you probably have to take Brady at his word and back the hell off. Hmm. I think I’d like the old you better. Hmm. Man, he was a lot of fun, but boy, he got me in a hell of a lot of trouble. Oh. Well, I don’t know if you’ve heard about me, Alex Kiriakis, but I happen to like all sorts of trouble.

Mom, I know that you mean well. But your emotions are all over the place right now, and… Sarah, my emotions do not invalidate what I know to be true. That, that not to tell Xander that he’s the father, it’s, it’s, it’s not fair, and it’s, it’s not right. Shh, Please. You’re carrying his baby. Yeah, I know, and we have been over this, Mom, so you have to trust me.

Okay? No good will come of this particular truth getting out. And what truth would that be? Oh, Josie! Sorry, I withdrew all the questions. I was just being my nosy self. You made it! Of course I did. Oh, my. I had to. For Grandpa and for you. Oh. Thank you, Chelsea. Oh, Sarah, this is Chelsea. Hi. Uh, another of Beau’s beautiful daughters.

Yes. I, I’ve heard so much about you, Chelsea, and it’s so good to finally meet you. I’m, I’m Maggie’s daughter. I’ve heard a lot about you, too. Oh, Chelsea, I wish your dad and Hope could be here, but, of course, I understand why they can’t be. But your sister, Sierra, is in a beautiful bouquet. Mm hmm. She loved Grandpa so much.

We all did. Grandpa will always have a special place in my heart, as you had in his.

Yeah, the service is starting soon. We should probably get going. I’ll be down in just

a minute. I’ll see you down there.

Hmm.

Ah. Ah.

Hmm.

Mhm.

Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm.

Mhm. Oh,

my goodness. Talk about a sight for sore eyes. I want one

of those. One for Ciara couldn’t be here. Yeah, I know, but her doctor said that it wasn’t good for her to fly so late in her pregnancy. How are you and Max doing being new parents? Oh, you know, aside from the sleep deprivation, it’s just been great. Isaac is a joy. I mean, we do wish we lived closer so we could see everybody more often.

We wish that too. Oh, I need to go hug my grandma Kate. Excuse me.

Okay. Oh, Jackson. Hi. So glad you could make it. Oh, I love you. So good to see you.

It looks like everyone’s here, so we should get started. As most of you already know, my uncle wanted only a small ceremony to be interred in the family mausoleum next to his beloved daughter, Isabella Toscano Black. He also wanted this to be informal, so if anyone would like to offer a remembrance, you’re welcome to do so at this time.

Jossie, I think you wanted

to say about a guy like Victor Kariakis? He was larger than life. My dad, Beau Brady, um, he didn’t find out that Victor was his biological father until he was a grown up. And to say that he struggled with his dual identity as a Kariakis and a Brady, you know. That would be an understatement.

But no matter the strain that my dad had with his dad, I always felt that Victor really loved me. And my siblings. And all our kids. So if there’s one thing that I will remember about my grandfather, it was how loved I always felt whenever I was with him. Now, um, the way Victor Kiriakis pitted his sons and, um, grandsons and nephews against each other, well, he could have, uh, taught King Lear and Zeus a thing about family infighting.

Um, but there was another side to Victor Kiriakis. It’s much more, um, caring, loving side. Now, my father tells me we really didn’t get to see this side a lot. Until, uh, Victor found out he had a daughter.

Isabella. She was the first to sort of chip away at his ice encased heart.

But he certainly wasn’t the last.

That distinction goes to… Maggie. A kind, sweet woman, with a beautiful soul, who somehow, convinced the, uh, Powerful Victor Kiriakis to make his family a priority and not a power play.

Maggie, he was so lucky to have you. And this whole, whole family is better because of you, too. I love you.

Among the images that will forever stay in my mind when I think of my uncle, Is the look on his face when he would, very imperiously, tell me how to live my life. Ha ha ha ha. Who I should love, who I shouldn’t. He had a very unique style of meddling. But I always knew, as much as I hated it, I always knew that me.

So deeply,

that he would lay down his life for me and for the people that he loved.

And I for one, I’m gonna miss that meddling. I’m gonna miss my dear Uncle Vic, now and forever.

I may just be the, uh… Bastard Kyriakos, but Victor and I, well, I always felt that we were cut from similar cloth. I understood what drove the man and why he was so often driven in ways that proved to be calamitous. But I think all of us gathered here today, we, we also know that… Victor loved ferociously, and he fought very hard to make sure Maggie and, and his children had the best lives possible.

So, I intend to emulate my Uncle Vic and do the same. If God ever blesses me with children.

I’m

the only one of Victor’s children who had the distinction and sometimes the burden of being raised by the man. So, when I look back, I remember how proud he was when I did something that pleased him. Which wasn’t often enough. I also remember his looks of disappointment when I let him down. Which was way too often.

Oh, Dad. Wherever

you are, I hope you can see that I’m still trying.

Still striving to be the man worthy of your love

and respect.

My, uh, my grandfather was our patriarch.

He was our bright shining sun,

although many of us were a bit like

we would fly a little too close and then get burned.

But he always taught us something. There’s always a lesson in there. I will miss that about him.

So, uh, rest now, my grandfather.

Until we fly together again.

You don’t want to say anything? No, no, there’s no point.

I’d like to close the service by reading a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, one of Uncle Victor’s favorites. Sunset, an evening star, and one clear call for me. And may there be no moaning of the bar when I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep, Turns again home.

There are very few things in this life that are irreplaceable. You know I’ve always had a soft spot when it comes to my family. But softness doesn’t always equate with weakness. When it comes to business, I’m neither. It’s good in you too. I’ve seen it.

No, I try not to let that show too often.

Granddad, if you’ve taught me anything, Nothing’s impossible. You know, I missed you back in Phoenix. Hello. It’s like missing Poison Ivy. It’s remarkable, isn’t it? I’m sure you’ll recall that passion was an integral part of our relationship. Thank you. Confirming your love for me. By the power vested in me, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife.

Oh. Marrying

you was the best thing that ever happened to

me. And I think this would be a very good time for you to… Echo the sentiment. It would only go to your head, which is already swollen enough.

Uh, I just got a text. The food’s ready. I just boxed

it up, so. it was. You didn’t follow me here, did you? No. Just, Bonnie told me you and your cousin were here to pick up some food. I thought I could help, and, plus, I’m starving. Well, there’s always the Brady Pub, Teresa. Whoa, Brady. Come on. That’s the way to treat your kid’s mom. Alex, stay out of it, please. Well…

It’s nice to know someone in this family still has manners. You know, actually, I’d love to get to know you better, Alex. Maybe we could have dinner this weekend. Oh, this weekend? Yeah, I thought you were going back to California this weekend. No, no, actually, I’m thinking about sticking around for a little while.

I’m gonna go get that dinner. Okay.

Oh, gosh, I can’t believe you’re leaving already. I know. I really wish I could stay. Yeah. You know your brother really misses you. We talk about coming out to London all the time, and of course we want to see baby Isaac so bad. You guys should. That would be so great. Max and I would love that. Oh. Speaking of my brother, where is he?

Oh, he just went in to pack you a lunch. I guess. Yeah, he has been in there a little while. I wonder what’s keeping him.

Ready to go, sweetheart? I’m sure Maggie’s wondering where you are.

Hey Xander, uh, we should probably get going. Yeah, right. Of course. Sarah, what’s wrong? Oh, no. Sarah, what is it? My water just broke.

I can’t tell you all how much it means to me to have you all here with me. We’ll be here for you for as long as you need, Maggie. Of course we will. And Maggie, even though Victor had almost as many wives as Henry VIII, I do believe that you brought out the best in him. In fact, of all of the women in his life, you were the perfect match for Victor.

That is most assuredly a matter of opinion. Vivan Alamein.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Are you okay?

I am going to open a bottle of something to celebrate. Should we do wine or champagne? Uh, either is fine, but can you remind me again what we’re celebrating? Hello. Did we not just kill it at the bowling alley? You killed it at the bowling alley. I managed to bounce the ball into the lane next to it. Yeah, and still knock down three pins.

That’s not easy to do. Well, considering the fact that I haven’t bowled since grade school, I mean, I guess I did okay. How’s this? Uh, perfect.

Are you sure this is okay? I mean, like, okay with your mom? And I’m just here. Oh, don’t worry about Mama. She is out to dinner with Abe. They’re getting to know each other again from scratch. So, you and I, we have the place all to ourselves. Well, you

look comfortable. Ah, getting there. I thought you were happy to be back. What? I am. It’s just been a bit of a whirlwind, you know? Rawlings fires me, and then he gets fired, and then, uh, boom. Here I am. I hear ya. It’s a lot. Yeah. What about you? You seem a little down. Well, it’s just that earlier, you told Paulina that she should have given me the commissioner job.

And I turned it down. Right. Well, I’m starting to think that maybe that was a mistake. Hey,

Tripp. Hey, Caitlin. Uh, what’s the latest on our John Doe? Uh, well, we’re still trying to determine why he lost his memory. And, uh, Black Patch is trying to figure out his identity so they can reunite him with his son. Oh, wow. I know from personal experience that, uh, Dad is excellent at accomplishing that particular mission.

No, thank goodness for that, right? Give me a sign off on your charts. Ah, yes, please. Thank you. Uh, and I was hoping, um, if it’s not too much trouble, if you could maybe help me out with one more thing? Of course. You know I’d always do anything to help you. Okay, well I’m glad, because this is kind of an emergency.

Dammit, what good is hiring an assassin if they won’t return your texts?

Dammit, I want to know that it’s done. Then what’s done? Are you

sure about hiring me for this job? Of course I’m sure. I’ve commissioned your services in the past and I’ve always been happy with your work. And I appreciate the business. I just didn’t think you did this sort of thing anymore. As a rule, I don’t. But, this is different. It’s… personal. I understand. You don’t need to worry.

I’ll take care of the Vitali woman and it’ll never come back to you. This is where it ends.

You bitch!

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

Um. A mistake? Like a mistake as in you actually do want to be commissioner? Well, I’m definitely qualified. You said so yourself. You told Paulina that she wouldn’t find a better candidate. I mean, don’t, don’t get me wrong. Your career matters to me. You matter to me. Very much. But it’s just that, you know, you told me that This position and job is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I get it. I do. Well, if that’s true, then I think you’re sitting in my chair.

Okay, um, well then, um. Dude, I’m joking. I’m messing with you. You what? I’m messing with you. Oh my god, you… Wow. Okay. Yeah, and so, with my mom needing to see me and our surprise visit from a very drunk Leo Stark, Wendy and I… Ah, ah, ah. Say no more. Yeah. Why don’t you just tell me how I can help? Well, we’re seeing each other again tonight.

And we’re trying to think ahead, so nothing goes wrong this time. I completely understand. Well, um, the answer is yes. Um, I’ll call your father and, um, you can have our place tonight.

Johnny, I didn’t know you were home. Obviously. Seems like I caught you in the middle of a pretty heated text exchange with someone. What’d they do to make you so angry? I’m not angry. I’m a bit frustrated, perhaps. Hmm. About what? I had to take my car in for repairs. My antique sports car. Gabby sideswiped it in the driveway the other day.

Not your most adored and prized possession. No wonder you’re so upset. It’s bad enough that I have to watch that gold digging tramp parade around this house as if it were her own, but to destroy my property and not have the decency to apologize for it is Okay, Dad. You’re pissed. I get it. But if I may shed a little perspective, not like it’s a matter of life and death.

Hmm. She’s still breathing. Freeze! Drop the gun! Adi, back up an ambulance right away. We have a gun in room 207. You don’t understand. I understand that you just shot this woman. I didn’t have a choice. She attacked me. She was about to kill both of us. Tell him, Harris. Drop the weapon. Now!

Ava? Just do it. Drop the gun

Well, you know what I will go call your dad right now and tell him that we are vacating our place tonight Thank you so much for the offer Kayla, but Wendy and I actually have a reservation at the Salem Inn. Oh You don’t need our place. Mm hmm Well, then how can I help you? Well, I have done everything I can think of to make sure there are no interruptions tonight except for This.

Will you take it? Just for tonight? Of course. Yeah. I, I, I know I could just turn it off, but if it’s there, I’ll be tempted to check it. And, uh, if there’s an actual emergency, you can call our room number, okay? It’s number 304. Okay. Don’t worry. I’m happy to do it. Thank you. In case of emergency. I call 304. I got it.

I got it. Listen, you just focus on having a good time tonight. Will do. Thank you.

Yeah.

Chapter 8, Labor and Delivery. I’m assuming this is Nicole’s? She just went up to bed, must have forgotten it. Ah. How’s she feeling? Fine, she’s doing well. Good. How are you feeling? With my new baby brother or sister on the way. I’m thrilled. I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting to become a father again, but I couldn’t be happier.

That must be, uh, incredible feeling. Not one that I’m ready for, obviously, but… But when you were married, you must have thought about parenthood, right? Perhaps you’re thinking about it again. What it might be like someday with Chanel. You’ve been talking to Nicole. Of course I have. She’s my fiancé. And your once and future stepmother.

We just want what’s best for you, son. So tell me, did you take her advice and tell Chanel how you feel? I was about to. Uh, then we got interrupted. And in hindsight, I’m glad we did. Why’s that? Because the person who interrupted us was Talia Hunter, who was meeting Chanel for a date of the romantic variety.

Talia Hunter? Isn’t she the one who poisoned those biscuits and got Chanel’s bakery shut down? Yeah. Why on earth would you want to get involved with her? I don’t know. Is it serious? Does it matter? There’s obviously something going on between the two of them, so I just, you know, I decided to… keep my mouth shut.

Back off. Well, that was stupid.

I still can’t believe how you nailed that split. Like those back corner pins, like how did you even do that? I don’t know. I guess I’m just that good. Oh, whatever.

I had a really good time tonight. Me too.

Thank you, Chanel. For what? For not hating me. I mean, for what I did, most people would never speak to me again. So, I know how big of a deal this is. And I just want to let you know how much it means to me that you gave me a second chance. I’m glad I did. So, how do you think it’s going so far? Pretty well.

Any ideas of how it could be better? I

have a one.

Oh, we’re really taking full advantage of that amended policy, aren’t we? Well, not full advantage.

What is it? You should be in that chair.

Oh, it is a comfortable chair. No, I’m serious. I am serious. Paulina offered you the job and… If you want it, take it. I don’t. Okay, you are an outstanding cop. And Mayor Price gave you your job back that you never should have left in the first place for completely bogus reasons. And now you can keep doing what you love, I can keep doing what I love.

And we can keep doing this.

As much as I enjoy sharing this moment with you. What do you say that we go to your house and share your bed? I would say a very enthusiastic. Yes.

Commissioner Hernandez.

I’m on my way. What is it? There’s been a shooting in Bayview. Let’s go. Yeah.

Ava. Ava, just put, just put the gun down. I can’t. I can’t let him take me in. I just shot a woman. Yeah, in self defense. Yeah. And after everything I’ve done, they’re not gonna believe that. Last chance, lady. Drop the weapon, or I’ll make you drop it. Oh, I would think twice about that if I were you. No, Ava. Ava, what are you doing?

I told you, I’m not going to prison. So if I need to shoot this guy to get out of here, then that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.

Oh, sorry, uh, this is Dr. Johnson. Do you mind? No, no, go for it. Hi, Dr. Johnson. Hi, Talia. Um, listen, I know it’s late, but I was wondering if you’d come by the hospital. The hospital? No, no need to worry, but, um, I have some news that I think I should deliver in person. Uh, yeah, sure, I’ll be right there.

Is everything okay? She wants to meet with me. I’m guessing it’s about the job. Well, if the chief of staff is asking you to come in, it’s probably good news. I doubt it. More likely she doesn’t want to disappoint me over the phone. Let’s just face it, the board would be insane if they hired me. Oh, come on, don’t say that.

It would be a PR nightmare for them. You think they would want headlines saying they brought on the Biscuit Bandit? I think they want a great doctor. Which is what you are. Top of your medical class? Like, come on! Hey, don’t be so pessimistic, okay? I believe in you, Toya. Believe in yourself. Okay, if you say so.

I’ll try. Thank you for the pep talk. Mm hmm. And you let me know how it goes.

Did you just call me stupid? Uh, uh, uh, I called your decision about Chanel stupid. So let me get this straight. You’re encouraging me to become the odd man out in yet another love triangle? I’m encouraging you to go after the woman you love, son. Look, Dad, I am not going to get between her and tell you that would be stupid, not to mention disrespectful.

Sander, you have no obligation to respect a relationship that barely exists, especially since Chanel would be better off with you. Wait, wait, back up. Since when are you team Chanel? Since she turned her life around. She worked hard, she started a business, and it became a huge success. So you’re admitting you were wrong about her?

I am. And besides, no matter what flaws I thought Chanel had… They pale in comparison to Ava Vitaris.

Ava? Ava, I need you to calm down. Okay? You didn’t do anything wrong. When the cops get here, we’ll explain what happened. Cops? Yes, you heard him call for backup. So Rafe’s coming? Great. He hates me. There’s no way he’s gonna listen to me. He’ll listen to me. But when he shows up, you don’t want him to see you waving that gun around?

I have to do this. I have to. There’s no other choice. Ava, there is. I promise. Come on, just, if you don’t want to put the gun down, just give it to me.

Ava, nobody else needs to get hurt. Please, just hand me the gun.

Thank you. Don’t

move! Stay right there. We’re leaving.

Wow, you look beautiful. Oh. You clean up pretty nicely yourself. How long have you been here? A few hours. I wanted to talk to the manager to make sure everything goes smoothly. I did the same thing. And he confirmed that no one else is registered to this room. Oh, so no drunken gossip columnists showing up at our door?

And we don’t have to worry about anybody texting or calling us either. Well, I have my phone turned off. I gave mine to Kayla. So she’s only gonna call this room unless there’s an actual emergency. So, unless a plane crashes into the hospital or… Yeah.

I still feel like we’re forgetting something. Don’t worry at all, okay? We’ve got it all covered. Tonight, you and I will finally be together. With no interruptions.

Room service.

Sorry they took so long. We, uh, thought you were someone else. Just your steak and champagne. I figured we’d be hungry. After the day we had. Good thinking. Um, please make sure we’re not disturbed. Of course. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Oh! This is what I forgot.

All set. Then I will pop the champagne.

I don’t need the champagne.

All I need is

you. Did you seriously just compare Chanel to Ava Vitale? Dad, Chanel was my wife. Ava was just a blip on the radar. Thank God for that. Dad, stop. What? I don’t want to sit here and listen to you trash Ava. She killed your grandmother.

She’s mentally ill. Okay, she doesn’t need to be punished. She needs help.

For that, my dear boy, we’ll have to agree to disagree. Okay, fine. Can we just, please, talk about something else now? Just, just one more thing. Look, if it’s about Ava… No, it’s about Chanel. Look. Dad. I don’t need you to tell me what to do, okay? I got this. I’m not going to. All I’ll say is, if it were me, I would not pass up the chance for happiness with the woman I love out of some misguided sense of decorum.

I’d be proactive. Tell her how I feel.

Ah, Talia, hi! Thanks for coming. Yeah, of course. Well, like I said on the phone, um, I have some news that I really felt like I wanted to tell you in person. I assume it’s about the job. It is. The fact that you even considered hiring me in the first place, Dr. Johnson, is seriously unbelievably kind. Truly, I was blown away.

But then again, I knew the board would never go for it. Well, I spoke to Seth Burns and he basically said the same thing. That given your excellent qualifications, well, even with that, he didn’t think the board would agree to it. But they agreed to hire you on a provisional basis. Wait, really? Yeah, you can start tomorrow.

Oh my god, this is incredible! Dr. Johnson, thank you so much. I assure you, and I promise you, I won’t let you down.

Is it just the one victim? As far as I know. The ambulance should have been here by now. I’ll call them again. We gotta get her to the hospital as soon as possible. What happened? One of our patients shot her. What patient? Ava Vitale.

Okay. Hey, are you alright? Yeah, I’m fine. I just, I don’t know a damn clue what the hell’s going on. Me neither. Why do you think that woman came after you? I don’t know. Just like I don’t know if she’s got friends back at Bayview who are still coming after me. I know. I was worried about that too. That’s why I got you out of there.

Thank you. I know you can thank me once I know you’re safe because if that woman does have an accomplice… They could be anywhere. So we gotta go. Go, go, where are we going? Where are we gonna go, huh? I am not going to the police. Okay. I got another idea. Let’s go.

Kayla’s with the victim now. Yeah, that’s right. I need to put an APB out on Ava Vitale and Harris Michaels. They escaped Bayview approximately 30 minutes ago. Consider them armed and dangerous officers. Should proceed with extreme caution. I want updates every hour. Unless you hear something, I want you to call me.

Thanks. Hey. Hey, how is she? Well, not good. The trauma team is trying to stabilize her to get her surgery. Ugh. You think she’ll make it? Well, it’s too soon to tell. Ava Vitale did this? Well, we’re not sure. We do know that she just escaped Bayview with Harris Michaels. I’d like to question the victim, but I’m guessing that’s off the table for now.

Right. Yeah, they need to get her to surgery right away. But I’ll keep you posted. Thank you. Thanks.

Nice job swiping that key from the guy at the front desk. Well, I didn’t need my SEAL training for that. The clerk was about 150 years old. Yeah. So what are we doing here? We are establishing a base of operations. Oh. So that’s what this is. That’s what this is. We need to regroup before we make any more moves.

First order of business is figure out who that woman was. And why she came after you. Yeah, well, like I said, I got no clue. I got no idea who that woman was. Well, she obviously knew who you were because she was trying to kill you. So can you think of anybody? With a grudge? From, from your past? The past?

Like from, from the Mafia? This wasn’t a Mafia hit. But this was a hit. Yeah, it was. And I know exactly who put it out.

Johnny. Hey, yeah, uh, I’m sorry that I just dropped by like this. I hope it’s not a bad time. No! Oh. What’s going on? Uh, look, I’m not really sure how to say this, so I’m just gonna say it, okay? Okay. I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a while. I actually even tried a couple of times, uh, but just the timing was…

Off. Um, and now you’re with Talia, and the last thing I wanna do is get in the middle of that, but… I can’t keep quiet anymore. Not about this. I I just, I I had to come here and tell you how I feel.

Chanel, I’m still in love with you.

mm.

Life.

Yoo.

Oh.

Waves hustle, get so crazy I wanna go back where memories take me And you, oh you, feel like home

Cause

you, you feel like home Yeah, you, you feel like You feel

like home

How’s the victim? She’s still in surgery, but get this. You know how she was wearing scrubs? Yeah, the guard thought that she was a nurse. She’s not. I spoke to an administrator at Bayview. She doesn’t work there. Never has. Hmm. Here’s her phone. Looks like a burner. Oh, there’s no passcode. There’s a ton of text messages.

It’s all from one number. Let me guess, it’s blocked? And listen to this. Why haven’t I heard back from you? Is Ava out of the picture yet?

Who the hell sent this?

Ciao, Ava.

God, it is so obvious. Has to be. You thought of somebody? How about the guy we were just talking about, who’s convinced that I killed his mother and wants me dead? You mean… Yeah. It’s EJ frickin DiMera.

Well, let me know when she gets to recovery, alright? The police commissioner is here and he wants to question her. Yes, I told him he needs to be patient. Uh, okay. Thanks a lot.

Ava, how are you involved with all this? We

can wait.

So, that happened. With no interruptions. I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to think we might never… Me too.

But it was so worth

the wait. Johnny, I, I, I don’t know what to say. Sorry, uh, Mama must have forgot her keys. Talia. I just had to come back. Is everything okay? What’s better than okay? You were right the whole time. Dr. Johnson was calling with good news. I got the job! Oh my god, amazing! I know, I’m so excited.

Um, I didn’t know you had company.

What’s going on? Uh, nothing, nothing. I was just, uh, leaving. You don’t have to leave on my account. I’m not. I just, I have actually some place that I need to be. So, um… Good night, Chanel. And congratulations to you.

Are you okay? Uh, yeah, yeah. I’m fine.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, how you feeling? Oh, good. Yeah. No more Braxton Hicks. Oh, excellent. You know, it looks like, uh, this little one is going to stay in the oven for a little bit longer before making their grand entrance into the world. I’m happy to hear that because I’ve been, I’ve been thinking we should be married before the baby’s born.

Theresa Donovan. Never thought I’d see your sorry little arse in Salem again. Indra. Ever the charmer. Cut the chitchat. What the hell are you doing here?

Wait, you’re telling me that Susan Banks is alive? Oh, she is. She survived that crash. Which means I am not responsible for the death of E. J. DiMera’s mother.

I need you to come and meet me in the park right now. David Vitale killed my mother and before this day is done, I want her dead too.

Hey, I stopped by the front desk on the way in. Your discharge papers are all done. You’re free to go. You ready to go home? Sloane?

Eric, there’s something I need to tell you. What’s going on? What is

it? It’s about the baby.

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

Eric?

I’m so sorry I lost our child. Hey, look at me. Why are you sorry?

It wasn’t your fault. I know how much you want to be a father.

When I came in here, we had so much to look forward to. Starting a family together. Being parents together and, and now… All

We still have each other. And we still have a lot of good things to look forward to.

You know, actually, I’m sure you’re pretty desperate for some non hospital food.

Hey, why don’t we go down to the pub and I’ll make you some dinner? You mind if I just meet you there? After I take a little walk, clear my head? Yeah. Sure. I just need a little time to myself. Okay. You just call me. Make sure you’re okay. I’ll make sure of the phone. It’s

all my fault. It’s all my fault that you’re not gonna be a father. To either one of your kids.

Okay, Nicole Walker. No genetic anomalies detected, blah, blah, blah. Okay, where is it? E.

G. DiMera.

Not a genetic match. Dear God. That baby’s not EJ’s. It’s Eric’s.

I came here to pay my respects to your Uncle Victor. God rest his soul. That’s why you’re so

cynical. I actually cared very deeply for Victor. Well, of course you did. a kind hearted, sentimental person. Thanks for the no one, baby. You know what, fine, the tears weren’t over him, but, and not that it’s any of your damn business, but, uh, they were about Brady. Oh, don’t tell me he wasn’t thrilled to see you.

Let me guess, he told you to go to hell? Am I right? Same as Sarah Horton did to you, am I right? Rex, I…

I’m so grateful that you want to be the father of my baby. And after what Xander did to Susan Banks, I don’t want that bastard anywhere near our child.

Are you still sure that you want to do this? Look, you made it very clear to me when you accepted my proposal that keeping Xander away was the primary motive for marrying me. And that doesn’t freak you out? No, actually no, it doesn’t. Because I’m committed to you, and I’m still committed to getting you to fall back in love with me again.

I do hope you can do that. I really do. You sure about that? Why wouldn’t I be? Because you hesitated when I brought up the subject of us getting married. It’s It doesn’t feel right to do it now. You know, before Victor’s funeral. Yeah. No, you’re right, you’re right. That, that does make sense. I just, um, I want to be present for my mom.

She’s burying her husband, and none of Victor’s kids can be here. You know, Beau’s still in a coma, and Isabella is gone, and Phillip can’t come home unless… He’s going to face the consequences of what he did to Brady. Actually, that’s not true anymore.

Philips alive. Yeah, alive and well. And he’s the one who framed Brady for his murder. He sure is. Is Brady going after him? Actually, uh, bell convinced Brady not to press charges, which means that Philip’s in the clear. Wow, I can’t believe this. I mean, what Philip did to Brady was… Insane? Yeah, in fact, he has spent this entire time away at a psychiatric hospital.

But they released him. Oh. So he’s better now? Yeah, apparently so. He said he did a lot of work on himself, and he recognizes where everything just went terribly wrong. Aw. Well, that’s good news. I guess so. And the best part is, now you don’t have to marry Xander.

I appreciate you getting here so fast. Vitaly’s inside Bayview? Can you get in there? Security is pretty tight. I’m not worried about it. So, how will you You really want to know the details, Mr. DeMera? No. No, I don’t care how you do it. As long as Ava suffers the same fate as my dearly departed mother.

Okay, so how do you know that Susan’s alive? Because when Marlena hypnotized me, it was like I was back there. It was like I was back in that night, Harris. What exactly did you see? I, I, I was lying on the ground. After the wreck, I mean, I… And everything was on fire, and as I was running, I just, I looked back, and I saw Susan.

She was outside of that car before it exploded. Ava, if you remembered all this, and Susan is alive, why didn’t you just tell Dr. Evans? Why would you lie?

When Marlene brought me out of hypnosis, I panicked. Okay, I just, I couldn’t bring myself to say it. I don’t know, I guess I just thought that she probably wouldn’t believe me. Come on, I mean, look, after all of this time, I suddenly remember that Susan is alive? Come on, I should probably think that I was just making it up so she could help me get out of this place.

Are you? Am I what? Are you making it up? No! Harris, come on! You have seen me! You know that the hallucinations are real!

Would she put me under? I just… I saw it so clearly.

Susan was alive before that car exploded.

Are you absolutely… Sure that Susan was alive? One hundred percent. Okay.

But where is Susan now? Where has she been all this time?

You sure about hiring me for this job? Of course I’m sure. I’ve commissioned your services in the past and I’ve always been happy with your work. And I appreciate the business. I just didn’t think you did this sort of thing anymore. As a rule, I don’t. But this is different. It’s possible. I understand. You don’t need to worry.

I’ll take care of the Vitali woman and it’ll never come back to you. Thank you. And once you’re done… See to it that Xandakiri Arcus follows her into the grave. He’s just as responsible for my mother’s death as Ava.

You don’t know anything about me and Sarah. Oh. So she didn’t dump you and leave Salem because you put on a clown mask to kidnap and kill E. J. DiMera’s mommy? I did not kill Susan Banks. Obviously Dr. Sarah doesn’t see it that way because from what I heard, she divorced your sorry ass so fast, she left skid marks.

Well, at least I’m not sitting outside the pub, crying my eyes out. I’ve moved on. Moved on to what? Bozo. The circus. What’s next, hmm? Juggling chainsaws. Getting shot out of a cannon. I’ll have you know, that I happen to be engaged. To Chloe Lang. Come on. You’re serious? This conversation’s over. No, hey, hey, hold on, hold on, hold on.

How on earth did you get Chloe Lane to give you the time of day after you left her in Mexico with Mateo, who’s the only man on the entire planet who’s a bigger piece of garbage than you are?

What kind of a thing is that to say? Xander? Well, because you were seeing Philip before he disappeared, and now he’s back. Chloe, I, I’m your friend. And I just want what’s best for you, and I know that you and Philip had a, had a good thing going. Nicole, he didn’t just disappear. He faked his own death and then framed Brady for murder, all because he couldn’t let me go!

Yeah, I know. Well, look, you, you said it yourself. He was sick, and now he’s better. I mean, don’t you think there’s a chance that maybe you could pick up where you left off?

Philip, what are you, what are you doing here? Is it safe? Totally. I am happy to report that Brady has graciously agreed to drop the charges against me, which means I’m free to be in Salem and to attend my father’s funeral. So you’re clear on everything? Assaulting Brady, faking your own death, and then framing Brady for it?

Bell really worked hard to convince Brady I deserved forgiveness. And amnesty. Well, uh, Congratulations. Thank you. I am, I’m so sorry about your father. I appreciate that. Look, I’m, I’m here to support you, Phillip, whatever you need, really. Thanks, bro. It means a lot. I gotta say, it’s kinda overwhelming to be back.

I’m sure a lot’s changed since I left. For starters, you’re having a baby. Ah, you noticed. Uh, can I ask who’s the father?

I’m, I’m the father, of course. And Sarah, Sarah and I are, are so excited about this pregnancy and, and getting married soon. Wow. I did miss a lot. I had no idea you were even back together. Yep. Yeah. Yes. And, uh, we are so excited that your future niece or nephew will get a chance to know you. Uh, but if you don’t mind, I’m actually going to go upstairs and lie down.

Of course. Yeah. Congratulations on the baby and your engagement. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, and welcome home.

I’m happy for you, Rex. I know you never really stopped loving Sarah. Thank you. Yes, she is the love of my life. Then I guess it all worked out. Especially now that Xander’s with Chloe. I guess, yeah. I mean, can you actually believe that she’s marrying that loser? I mean, what the hell is she thinking? Oh, no, no, Phillip.

Please tell me you are not still obsessed with Chloe.

Nicole, I will for the moment try to ignore the fact that you’re not even acknowledging that I’ve moved on with Xander, and tell you emphatically that I’m not going to just pick up where I left off with Phillip. As much as you think it’s a brilliant idea, God knows why. Well, I’ll, I’ll tell you why.

Because before things went off the rails, things were great between you and Philip. Right? And, and what if he’s back to the guy that you fell in love with and he still loves you? It doesn’t matter what he feels. I am with someone else now. As much as you have apparently chosen to block that from your mind.

I know you’re with someone else now, Chloe. But come on, do we ever really move on from our first love? I mean, isn’t there a part of your heart that still belongs to the first guy that you fell madly in love with? I’m sorry, are we still talking about me and Xander and Phillip, or have we somehow segwayed to you and Eric and EJ?

Mother,

I will not rest until I avenge you. The reprobates responsible for taking your life, they will pay with theirs.

I have no idea where Susan is. I mean, until about an hour ago, I thought she was in heaven stalking Elvis and annoying the hell out of St. Peter. What? Why are you looking at me like that? Because if Susan’s alive, somebody should be out there looking for her. I don’t know, maybe we should talk to Dr. Evans.

Or maybe, hold on, maybe we should contact EJ DiMera. Harris, no. He’s convinced that you killed his mother. Don’t you want him to know that she’s alive? Am

I interrupting? Not at all. I just thought I heard you talking to somebody. I was just talking to an image of my mother, who died fairly recently, as you may know. And the people who took her life are walking around freely, which has left me somewhat…

Bitter. Well, I know that feeling all too well. Your mother? Both my parents. My brother Colin and I, we vowed to avenge them too. But, I should just say that um, making promises like that leads you down a very dark path.

Watch yourself, Donovan. Hey, I’m just stating the facts. What happened in Mexico? That’s ancient history. Ancient history? Like Susan Banks? Well, Chloe knows that I’ve changed. Otherwise, why would she be with me? Ah, you’ve changed, have you? Well, you might want to tell that to the wild look I see in your eyes.

Because from what I can tell, you’re still the same sadistic psycho I’ve always known. You don’t know me. Oh, come on. I know plenty. You know, Brady told me when you guys were kids, you used to pluck the wings off of butterflies. You haven’t changed at all. Really? Well, did you also know before I… It was so unfortunate bumping into you, that someone just offered me a huge amount of money to do something terrible, and I turned them down flat.

I said no. Oh, Xander. You’re such a saint. But my guess, you just weren’t desperate enough. But you know, the second you are, you’re going to revert to form. And when you do, I hope it’s not too late for Chloe. Chloe loves me. She trusts me. Then I guess you have her fooled. And you know what? When things get bad, Xander, and they will get bad…

I hope that Chloe does all of us a favor and sticks a knife in you the same way she did El Fideo. And I’d be surprised if anyone came back for your funeral. Do you need to shut your mouth before I shut your hands off her!

Harris, if I tell EJ about his mother and he doesn’t believe me? Come on, he’s already said that he wants me dead for killing her. Yeah, only she’s not dead. Miss Vitale, it’s time for your medication.

I’ve never gotten a shot here. What medication is that? The doctor ordered something new to be added to your treatment. Something new? Yeah, what’s the name of the medication? Could you please step outside while I administer the injection? Okay, just hold on a second. Are you interfering with her treatment, sir?

Hey, why don’t you call your doctor and confirm that he ordered this? That’s a good idea. You think I’m lying? Of course not. But she has a right to know what drug she’s being given.

What better. I was hoping to do this the easy way, but GI Joe had to go and play the hero. Now you’re both gonna get a shot. Only. It’s not coming from a needle.

During my time away, I came to see that my love for Chloe turned into an addiction. That was unhealthy. And you’re better now, right? A lot better. So, even if you were to have romantic feelings for Chloe, you would be able to control how you act on those feelings. Exactly. Good. So… And so, with my feet firmly planted in reality, I will admit that

I am still head over heels in love with Chloe Lane. No, no, no. My situation with EJ and Eric is not the same as yours with Xander and Phillip. Oh no? What’s different? Well, first of all, Eric and I, what happened between us, the situation that, okay, you know what, maybe it is sort of the same. Yeah, and yet you still want me to dump Xander for Philip?

Fine. I shouldn’t have presumed to steer you in any kind of direction about your love life. Okay, but you, you did the same to me. Okay, as I recall, you gave me a whole bunch of grief about giving up on Eric and marrying EJ. I know I did that, but I eventually accepted it, whereas you proceeded to just give me a hell of a lot more grief about marrying Xander.

Which you totally ignored. And will continue to do so. Yes, but you actually have another option. Oh my goodness, I’m going to say this one more time. What I had with Philip is in the past. Just like what you had with Eric is in the past. Are you sure? About you and Eric? About you and Phillip. Come on, Chloe, tell me, what was it like when you saw Phillip again?

And be honest.

Okay, my heart skipped a beat when I saw him. Aha! But that’s only because I was shocked to see him alive. Or, or, maybe it was your heart telling you that he’s the one you’re supposed to be with. Right after you dumped Xander on his sketchy ass.

What can I say, Eric? Your cousin brings out the worst in me. Yeah, and that’s saying a lot. You know, Brady had the right idea about you, giving you the heave ho.

Get out you okay? Yeah. Did he hurt you? No, you know what, if you hadn’t come here and pulled him away, I would have been the one hurting him. He’s just, he’s a low life jerk. Yeah, what, what’s that all about anyway? Xander being Xander, you know, opening up old wounds. Yeah, well, it’s good to see you anyway. You in town for Victor’s funeral?

Yeah, I am. I mean, as much as we clashed, it just felt wrong not being here. Yeah, Victor’s been a big part of all of our lives. Yeah, he has. It’s so good to see you too, Eric.

Hey, um, my mom told me that you and your girlfriend lost a baby. Yeah, we did. I’m so sorry. Yeah, well… Is she okay? Actually, she just got released from the hospital.

Did you just come from the hospital? Oh, I didn’t even realize I still had that on. Nicole told me about your miscarriage. I’m very sorry for your loss. Thank you. I can only imagine how devastated Father Eric is. I know that becoming an actual father was a lifelong dream of his. Yeah. And I, uh, I imagine Nicole and I having a child must feel like salt in the wounds.

Now I know your condolences mean absolutely nothing. You’re actually enjoying this, aren’t you? Knowing Eric’s suffering. On the contrary, as a father, I know his pain.

And this may seem indelicate, but maybe… Being a parent just isn’t in the cards for him.

Maybe it is.

Well, I hope you’re right. That, uh, having a child isn’t in the cards for Eric. And you, of course. I’m very sorry that it can’t happen now. Losing a child, that’s a pain that no one deserves. My heart goes out to the both of you. Thank you for saying that.

So, will you be able to try again? You and Swan? In a few months? Actually, we just learned that she has a medical condition. That prevents her from carrying a child to full term. I’m so sorry. You know, I’m starting to believe that me being a father just is not a part of God’s plan. Eric, don’t say that, okay?

I mean… You know, it could still happen someday, and hey, I’m here to support you, okay? If you wanna just hang out or talk or just anything, you’ve always been such a comfort to me. You know, I’d do anything for you,

cuz. Think maybe you’d put in a good word with your brother for me? Brady? What? Are you interested in him? I mean, because the last time I recalled the two of you together, it just didn’t end so well. Never mind, forget I said anything. No, listen. Theresa, listen. No, you listen. I’m not going to pretend to know much about God and his plans.

But I know that any kid that had you as a dad would be the luckiest kid in the entire planet.

I see that look on your face. Yes, my feelings for Chloe are still strong. But, you don’t have to worry, I’m not gonna, I’m not gonna start chasing after her. Look, I don’t want you to do anything that’s gonna jeopardize your recovery. I appreciate that. But I meant, you don’t have to worry about me trying to break up Xander and Chloe.

Which would free up Xander to pursue Sarah. I’m not worried about that. Good. And, and, why would Xander bother doing that, huh? I mean, especially now that Sarah is carrying your baby. Right. Right.

Nicole, for the last time, I am with Xander now. Whether you or Phillip or anyone likes it. Fine. Fine. Understood. I sure hope so. Hey, can’t we just make a pact or something that you don’t get to choose who I’m with, just like I don’t get to choose who you are with? You got it. But just don’t come crying to me when Xander shows his true colors and does something to make you feel sorry that you ever laid eyes on him.

Hmm. Right back at ya with EJ.

Come here.

Who sent you? It was a DJ. They sent you to kill me. The person holding the gun gets to ask the questions. So, which one of you wants bullet number one? Ladies first?

I don’t need Eric to put in a good word for me with Brady, I can do it myself. No, no, Theresa, don’t, don’t seem too desperate on day one. I’m not giving up on you, Brady. I know we belong together.

Chloe! Hey! Oh! Hi! Thanks again for your help with Brady. It was all Belle. Uh, maybe. But, you could have stopped it. Instead, you stuck your neck out for me. It meant a lot. Look who’s enjoying his newfound freedom. Do you ever think you’d just be strolling through the square again, not caring the world? Xander?

Darling, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long. You ready for dinner? Absolutely. See you. See you.

It’s all gone? Yeah. You didn’t tell him that… That the baby’s Anders? No, of course not. Thank you. I don’t love lying to my brother, but I know it’s what’s best. He’s still in love with Chloe, by the way. Oh, no. He’s not gonna try to pursue her. No, no, he said he wouldn’t, and I hope he’s telling the truth, because Xander, Mary, and Chloe…

It’s good for everyone. Especially you and your baby.

Do you still want to be a father? Uh, hi. Do you still want to be a father? Of course. So what do you say to you and me adopting a baby?

How’s my baby? Kicking like a football star. Real football or American football? Premier League, of course. Excellent. Excellent.

Something wrong? Oh, just business. Waiting on word from an associate that she’s closed a deal. This is where it ends. Cass!

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

[ Soft dramatic music ]

Harris: Hey, you.

Ava: Hey.

Harris: Um, missed you at breakfast, and you’ve missed out on my news.

Ava: Oh,  it good news.

Harris: Well, after I told Dr. Evans about your visions of Susan. She, uh– she agreed to help you.

Ava: Did she?

Harris: Well, I thought you’d be more excited.

Ava: Yeah, look, I really appreciate you going to bat for me, Harris. I– just, I changed my mind. I don’t want to talk about Susan Banks. I would just prefer to forget that she ever existed.

---

[ footsteps approaching ]

EJ: Mother? [ Gasps] Oh, I can’t believe this! [ Laughing ]

[ Susan squeals ]

EJ: My God, I’ve missed you so much!

[ Both laughing ]

Susan: You know what? Have you, son? Hmm? For real?

EJ: Of course. Wh– What do you mean?

Susan: Well, you know, you don’t seem terribly upset that– uh, about my sticking untimely death. Yeah? I mean, you were all cuddled up there on that couch, sleeping like a baby.  [ Laughs ]

EJ: What?

[ Dramatic musical sting ]

[ somber music ]

EJ: [ Sighs ]

---

Brady: Theresa.

Theresa: Brady, you will never believe the fight I had. I was sitting next to this five-year-old who may or may not have been an actual, real life gremlin. I mean, the kid was throwing an epic tantrum for three hours straight. I swear, I thought I was going to have to give him one of my sleeping pills.

Brady: Yeah, I don’t– I don’t understand.

Theresa: Well, it was a joke, Brady. I wouldn’t drug a kid.

Brady: No,No. No– I don’t understand what you’re doing here. Why are you in Salem?

---

Marlena: Thanks.

John: Okay, so what’s this new case you have for us? [ Chuckles ]

Marlena: Well, I met a very interesting man at the hospital today.

John: And how interesting are we talking about?

Marlena: Oh, stop. He’s in his 90s.

John: [ Laughs ] Okay. All right. Go on.

Marlena: Well, he was– he was found wandering on the side of the road. And after Kayla had checked him out, she asked if I would take a look at him.

John: Mm hmm.

Steve: And how’d he seem?

Marlena: He, um– well, his cognitive skills are quite good. But his long- and short-term memory, um… well, almost nonexistent. He’s not exactly sure of his own identity.

John: Yeah, I been there.

Steve: So, I’m guessing you want us to figure out who he is.

Marlena: Yes. And also try to figure out who his long-lost son is.

---

Julie: Excuse me, is that seat taken?

Joe: It is now.

Julie: Thank you.  Ah. Well, my husband stubbed his toe on the coffee table. So, we thought we’d better get an X-ray to make sure it’s not broken. Uh, his toe, not the coffee table.

Joe: [ Laughs ]

Julie: So now I have all this paperwork.

Joe: Yeah, I’ve been waiting for some tests myself. Seems to be a backup.

Julie: Well, I’m sure we can keep each other company while we’re waiting. I’m Julie Williams.

Joe: Nice to meet you, Julie Williams.

Julie: And you are?

Joe: Well, right now, that seems to be the million dollar question.

---

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

---

Joe: And since I can’t remember who I am, everybody around here is calling me Mr. Doe.

Julie: I see. Well, I’m so sorry you’re suffering from memory loss. Do you have any idea what caused this?

Joe: Not really. Dr. Johnson says it may be from an old head injury or some kind.  Evidently, I got a really bad scar on the back of my noggin here.

Julie: Do you know what might have caused that?

Joe: No. I’m telling everybody I fought off a grizzly bear. Makes me sound kind of edgy and cool, you know.

Julie: Gee, you remind me of my Uncle Tommy. You look like you might be about the same age.

Joe: Is your Uncle Tommy cool and edgy?

Julie: Not so you’d notice. But he did suffer from memory loss, also.

Joe: Well, how?

Julie: Well, he served in Korea. He was wounded. He had to have plastic surgery. Whole new face. And he came home and just had no idea who he was.

Joe: Huh. Something about that story sounds familiar to me.

Julie: Why should it?

Joe: Maybe I’m your Uncle Tommy.

---

Marlena: While I was talking to him, he talked about trying to find his son. He’d had a dream about it and then he just began walking.

Steve: Walking from where?

Marlena: He wasn’t sure. He said he had some memories of a farm.

John:  A farm? 90, walking… Maybe from somewhere around Brookville. That’s the nearest rural area, right?

Marlena: That’s what I thought, but that didn’t sound familiar to him.

John: Well, Doc, we’d be happy to help the guy out, but to be honest with you, we don’t have a whole lot to go on here.

Marlena: There is one other thing. Mr. Doe said when he was trying so hard to get back to his son, he remembered that there was a lot of fighting going on.

Steve: Fighting? What kind of fighting?

Marlena: He didn’t say.

Steve: Huh.

John: Well, just a guess here, but it kind of sounds to me he might have been off fighting in a war somewhere.

---

Harris: I thought you wanted to talk to Dr. Evans. What– what changed?

Ava: I’m just– I’m thinking it just might all be a huge waste of time. You know, and look, I haven’t had a vision of Susan since yesterday, so maybe it’s over.

Susan: Oh, don’t be such an itty-bitty scaredy kitty. Ava, you need to tell the truth.

Ava: About what?

Harris: Ava.

Ava: Just tell me what you want me to say.

Susan: Well, isn’t it obvious, sister? You need to tell the truth about the accident.

---

Xander: Oh, hey, Chloe, darling. I, I assume you’re still visiting with Nicole. I was just wondering if maybe we could, you know, grab dinner in The Square afterwards and start discussing our wedding. You know, maybe talk about some potential datest. The– the guest list… Oh, for the record, Phillip is not invited. Okay, love you. Very smooth, Xander. Didn’t sound insecure about Philip at all.

[ Knock at door ]

[ Suspenseful music

Xander: What are you doing here?

---

Theresa: Oh, wow, you sure know how to make a girl feel welcomed.

Brady: Oh, okay. I didn’t, I didn’t mean it to sound unfriendly. I’m just wondering why all of a sudden you’re here at my doorstep.

Theresa: Isn’t it obvious? Look, I’m here to pay my respects to Victor. I mean, he’s our son’s great-grandfather.

Brady: No, I know. Um, I assume you didn’t bring Tate.

Theresa: No, no, he had school. I didn’t want him to miss class, so I came alone, for the funeral.

Brady: Right. But why? Theresa, you– you and my grandfather were never really that close at all.

Theresa: Sure. I mean, we had a scratchy relationship, but… Victor and I really had a tender breakthrough when I left with El Fideo to protect you and Tate.

[ Dramatic music ]

Victor: I hope you can get enough on El Fideo to put him behind bars. 

Theresa: Me, too.This is the only way my family, not that you care. Sorry.

Victor: Actually, I’m very proud of what you’re doing.

Theresa: [ Laughs tearfully ] Okay. Who are you and what have you done to Victor Kiriakis?

Victor: I mean it. Brady would feel the same way if he knew what you were doing to your family.

Theresa: No, he can’t know.

Victor: You’ve come a long way, Jeannie Theresa. And I want you to know no matter what happens, we’ll always consider you a part of the Kiriakis family.

Theresa: [ Sobs ]

Victor: [ Speaking Greek] Eláte píso se emás.  That means: come back to us.

Theresa: When I finally escaped from Mexico, Victor wanted you and me to be together.

Brady: That’s because he would have chosen just about anybody besides Eve. A rabid possum would have been more preferable to him.

Theresa: [ Laughs ]  Yeah.  e sure did hate my sister, didn’t he?

Brady: Yeah, he did. That’s also why he advised you to keep quiet about Chloe when you and Xander left her stranded in Mexico with El Fideo.

Theresa: Brady, that was– No, that was all Xander’s decision, okay? I had nothing to do with that. I didn’t– Wh– Xander’s the entire reason why you and I aren’t together, and… [ Sighs] Brady, I will always hate him for that.

---

Xander: Whoa, what th– what’s all this, then?

EJ: I’ve been thinking about my mother a lot lately, about what a wonderful and loving person she was, how much I miss her, and about how for far too long I’ve allowed her murder to go unavenged.

Xander: EJ, I understand what happened to her was a terrible tragedy, I know you’re hurting right now, but that was not my fault.  That was all Ava!  She’s the one who drove Susan off that cliff. If anyone deserves to die for what happened, it’s her.

EJ: I agree with you.

Xander: You do?

EJ: Yes, I do. Which is why I want you to kill her.

---

Ava: What, what do you mean, tell the truth? -I- I don’t understand. Are you talking about the night that I drove the car off the road?

Susan: Yes, of course I am. Why else would I be here?

Ava: I already told them the truth. I- I- I told them that I drove it off the road. It’s not a secret.

Harris: Ava, are you seeing Susan again?

Ava: Yeah, she’s– She’s… she’s gone.

Harris: What’d she say this time?

Ava: She keeps telling me to- to tell the truth, that I– that I’m lying about the night of the accident, but I swear to you, I don’t know what she was talking about.

Harris: Hey, you cannot do this on your own. You can’t. You should talk to Dr. Evans. I can call her right now. Just say the word.

---

Steve: You know, I think John is on to something. If our Mr. Doe was fighting in a war, it could explain why he was separated from his son.

John: Well, you know, if he did serve, the military would have his fingerprints on file.

Marlena: Could you access those?

John: Sure, just get his prints right up through the database.

Marlena: So sorry. Oh, oh, I’m sorry, it’s an… Gotta take this. Dr. Evans? Yes, Harris. Oh, alright, uh, uh, tell her I will be right there. Thanks. Um, I’m sorry, I’ve got to go out to, uh, to Bayview. Is it alright if I, uh, tell Kayla that you might be trying to help out our Mr. Doe?

Steve: Well, I can talk to her about that later. I think right now we can figure out another way to crack this thing.

Marlena: Alright, thanks. He’s such a darling man, my goodness. I’d like to help him track down his son.

John: Don’t worry about it, Doc. Black Patch is on the case. [ Chuckles ]

---

Julie: I’m sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Doe. You can’t possibly be my Uncle Tommy. Well, he passed away several years ago.

Joe: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Well, I guess, uh, the search for my identity is going to have to continue along with my search for my son.

Julie: You have a son?

Joe: That’s what brought me to your neck of the woods.  It’s a funny thing. I don’t remember much, but I have this feeling. He and I never met, but I just know he’s somewhere nearby.

Julie: Well, if you find your son. He’ll probably be able to help you fill in all these blanks in your life.

Joe: Mm hmm. Fingers crossed. A lot of nice people around here have offered to help me search for them, but I can’t wait to get out there and find them myself, as soon as they get that pesky CAT scan of my brain.

Julie: You know what? I have a little pull in this hospital. Why don’t I see if we can move things along?

Joe: You’d do that for me?

Julie: Well, of course I would. And I’ll check on my husband at the same time. You’ll be fine. You just sit right here, Mr. Doe.

Joe: Uncle Tommy. Korea. Why does that story sound familiar?

---

Doug: I don’t really need this wheelchair, you know.

Julie: I know, darling. And once we’re out of the hospital, you can dance the Shim Sham all the way to the car. But right now, there’s someone I want you to meet. Mr. Doe. This is my husband, Doug Williams. And this is a gentleman, currently known as Mr. Doe.

Doug: Mr. Doe. Pleased to meet you, sir.

Joe: Likewise.

Julie: Uh, Dr. Johnson said she’s going to send an orderly for you, or escort you to the, uh, tests.

Joe: Oh, thank you so much. You have a lovely and kind wife.

Doug: Oh, no argument there. What about you? Are you married, sir?

Joe: As a matter of fact, now that you mention it, I am. I have a wife.

[ Doug chuckles ]

---

Steve: Well, Brookville PD has no missing persons reports that match our Mr. Doe.

John: Of course not. It would have been too easy.

Steve: Well, you know what? We can keep checking, uh, nearby towns, huh? If he was walking and it took him a couple of days, I’d give it a radius of, say, 30 miles?

John: Mm hmm. Maybe we can narrow it down even more. If he was a veteran, maybe he was being treated at a VA hospital.

Steve: Well, look at you, Poker Face.

John: Nearest VA hospital. Got it. Hello, this is John Black. I’m a private detective. I got a question for you. I was wondering if you have had any patients that have come up missing in the last couple days or so? I see. And what could you tell me about him?

---

Marlena: So when you see Susan, she tells you that you’re not being honest about what happened the night that she was killed.

Ava: Yeah, but I don’t know why. I feel like I’ve told the whole story.

Marlena: Well, maybe there’s something deep in your subconscious. Um, you know, we could– we could try hypnosis if you want to see what might be there.

Ava: Let’s give it a shot.

Marlena: Okay. You’ll have to excuse us.

Harris: Oh, yeah, of course. Good luck. You got this.

Ava: Thanks.

---

Xander: You want me to shoot Ava?

EJ: It’s about justice, Xander. Redemption. I’m giving you the opportunity to make up for what you did to my mother.  Look, I know I’m asking a lot of you. Which is why I’m willing to pay handsomely for it.

Xander: Look, EJ, I’m just… I’m not comfortable with any of this. I-I…

EJ: Do all those zeros alleviate your concerns?

---

Brady: Look, Theresa, I’m no fan of Xander’s, okay? But I think it’s a little unfair to blame him for our breakup. You weren’t exactly completely honest with me.

Theresa: Okay. Yes, fine. I’ll admit that my lies damaged our relationship.

Brady: Yeah, and then you escalated things by suing for full custody of Tate. Which is why my grandfather turned on you again.

Theresa: Sure, yeah, Victor could be mercurial, but bottom line is, Brady, he knew you and I were good together, and he was right. We had something special.

Brady: We did, a while ago.

Theresa: Come on, Brady. Come on. After all these years apart, you know, I still think about you. And about us, and about what could have been.

Brady: Theresa, I don’t think that–

[ dramatic music ]

---

[ dramatic music ]

Brady: No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. God, God, what are– what are we doing? This is a bad idea. It’s not a good idea, it’s a bad idea.

Theresa: Brady… Brady, I’m single. From what I hear, you’re not with Chloe anymore, or Kristenha tnk God, and… Is there someone else?

Brady: No.

Theresa: Well, then I think maybe it’s the perfect time for us to give our relationship another shot. What do you say?

---

Doug: [ Chuckles ] You, you forgot that you had a wife?

Joe: Yeah I… No wedding ring. Can’t remember her name. But I can– I can picture her face.

Julie: Mr. Doe is currently suffering from memory loss.

Doug: I see. Uh, for a while there I had trouble remembering things myself. Turns out that I had been possessed by the devil.

Joe: [ Laughs ] Haven’t heard that one before.

Julie: Oh my dear, just stick around Salem. You’ll hear a lot of amazing things.

Doug: Do you think your wife is looking for you?

Joe: Ah, I hope so. Because I have a feeling… I- I think I loved her very much.

---

John: Thanks for agreeing to see us, Mr. Dugan.

Dugan: Of course. I’m so relieved to hear that Mr. Bell is alright.

John: Mm-hm.

Dugan: You said he’s at Salem University Hospital?

Steve: Yeah, that’s right. And from what we understand, he’s in pretty good shape. He’s just confused about who he is.

Dugan: He’s been dealing with memory loss for quite some time.  We suspect it stems from an old head injury he suffered during the war.

John: You said his last name is Bell?

Dugan: Yes, Joseph Bell. We kept trying to remind him, but it never seems to stick.

Steve: You have any idea where he’s originally from? He must have a home somewhere.

Dugan: I’m afraid we’ve been unable to track that down. He was only transferred here a couple months ago. He’s apparently been in the system for decades. But, with his memory the way it is, we don’t know much about him.

John: Nothing to go on in his military files.

Dugan: Every time he’s gone somewhere new, it’s like they start from scratch. His entire life history is locked up somewhere in his brain. We just don’t know how to reach it.

---

Marlena: Let’s go back to the night that Susan died. Tell me what you remember. Tell me what happened right before the car went off the road.

Ava: I was trying to escape from EJ. But he was right on my tail, so I sped up.

Susan: Oh, no!

Ava: Oh, my God. Here’s a tip, Susan. Don’t startle the person with the gun.

Susan: Well, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but I- I-I just realized that I lost my lucky hat. We have to go back right now.

Ava: Are you freaking kidding me? Here’s another bit of advice for you. Keep your mouth shut, or you’re going to lose your unlucky head, too.

Ava: Everything was happening so fast. I just couldn’t think straight.  And Charlie was there, and he was… hounding me, he was telling me what I needed to do next. And Susan, Susan, she just… She kept yammering on about that stupid hat of hers.

Marlena: What happened next?

Ava: I told her to shut up.

Ava: Just shut up, okay? Shut up, I am trying to think!

Susan: I didn’t say anything! Geez.  No, I’ll stay shut up, but um, just please, please Miss Vitali, please just keep your eyes on this crippled road. I mean, it would be horrible if we get to an accident. It would be terrible, terrible.

Ava: Damn you, EJ.

Ava: EJ. He just kept, kept getting closer. And I couldn’t shake him. And Charlie– Charlie kept– he kept taunting me. He kept telling me that I– I knew what I needed to do next.

[ grunting] [ screaming ]

In the car, it just– it went flying off the cliff. And I barely got out in time before it hit, but– I don’t know, I– I must have– I must have gotten knocked out because– then everything just… It goes black.

Marlena: But you regained consciousness. What happened then?

Ava: I’m lying on the ground. And I– I– I can see the car. Just– there’s smoke and– and– and flames…. they’re everywhere.  I know it’s gonna explode so I– I force myself to get up and I just– I run away.

Marlena: What about Susan? Susan was there. What happened to her?

[ somber music ]

---

Xander: [ Exhales ] Forget it. No amount of money’s worth another death on my conscience. After your mother died, I was plagued with horrible nightmares. I still am.

EJ: Yeah, we have that in common, which is why I’m doing this. Because I won’t be able to rest easy until I avenge my mother’s death.

Xander: Look, I feel terrible about what happened to– to Susan, EJ.  I’m so sorry. She didn’t deserve it.

[ tense music ]

EJ: Then do something about it, then, damn it. Because my mother will not be able to rest in peace until Ava pays for what she did. You owe it to my mother to help me.

---

Xander: I’ve got you all figured out, Junior. You want me to get rid of Ava for you, and then you’re gonna make sure that I take the fall. Two birds, one stone, right?

EJ: If you give me what I want, I’ll have no reason to double-cross you.

Xander: You’ve got plenty of reasons. You might not want to kill me, but you definitely want me to pay.  Get the hell out of here.

EJ: Fine. But as I said before, I’ve let my mother’s death go unavenged for far too long.  It’s time for you and Ava to pay the price.

---

Harris: So, how did– how’d it go?

Ava: Didn’t remember anything new. [ Chuckles ]

Marlena: I’m going to consult with her doctors here. Maybe talking to the people that she’s used to will help her remember more. I’m sorry I couldn’t do more for you.

Ava: Thanks, Dr. Evans. I really do appreciate your kindness.

Marlena: My pleasure.

Harris: I’ll walk you out.

---

Brady: Theresa, now, come on. You want to jump back into a relationship with me just like that? Have you forgotten how toxic we were at times? Have you forgotten how much we hurt each other?

Theresa: Yeah, yeah, but the good times outweighed the bad, right? I mean, come on, Brady, don’t you remember that makeshift wedding we had in our bedroom?

Brady: Yeah.

Theresa: It wasn’t official, but it was the most romantic night of my entire life.

Brady: Theresa, I’m gonna– I’m gonna be very clear with you. I don’t want to go back down that road with you. Not now, not ever, okay?

Theresa: Brady.

Brady: Theresa, you should go. Please go.

Theresa: [ Sobs ]

Brady: [ Sighs ]

---

Joe: Well, obviously you two are very much in love. How long have you been married?

Doug: Over 50 years.

Joe: Oh, that’s impressive these days. Bet you have some great memories.

Julie: Oh, more than you can count. We used to own a club together.

Joe: Oh!

Julie: It was called Doug’s Place.

Joe: Catchy name.

Julie: And my darling husband sang there.

Joe: No kid– You sang? That’s fantastic. I used to sing all the time.

Julie: Oh, were you a professional?

Joe: Oh, no. But I just loved to listen to radio and sing along. You know, I can remember some of the classics, like Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and…

Julie: Gershwin, Ira Gershwin.

Joe: George Gershwin. George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin.

Julie: Yeah. The brothers.

Joe: I remember those two.

Doug: Well, see, if you remember this song. I’m discontented with homes that are rented, so I have invented my own. Darling, this place is a lover’s oasis, where life’s weary chase is unknown.

[ Laughters ]

Joe: I love that song. I used to dance for my wife. Would you mind if I dance with your wife a minute?

Doug: Be my guest.

Julie: Oh, my goodness, I’d be delighted.

Joe: Let’s go.

Doug: All right, let’s all sing together. I’ll do the pickups.

Julie: Okay.

Doug: Oh honey, picture you

All: Upon my knee tea for two, and two for tea, me for you and you for me alone…

Doug: Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

All: Nobody near us, to see us, or hear us. No friends or relations on weekend vacations. We won’t have it known dear, but we own a telephone.

Doug: Two, Three, Four…

Julie: Dear!

All: Day will break, and I’ll awake, and start to bake, a sugar cake, for me to take, for all the boys to see,

Doug: Three, four,

Doug and Julie: Five, six, seven, eight!

All: We will make a family, A boy for you and a girl for me, Oh, can’t you see, how happy we would be?

Doug: Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Yah!

[ Laughter ]

Doug: Yes, we did it. We did it.

---

John: Well, I’m just assuming here that, uh, Mr. Bell doesn’t have any family that you know about that you can contact.

Dugan: None on record.

Steve: You know, John’s wife said he talked about trying to find his son. You know anything about that?

Dugan: He’s brought it up often. But he was pretty fuzzy with the details. We weren’t even sure if it was based in reality.

John: Yeah, yeah, well, I can understand that. So, anything else you can tell us?

Dugan: Obviously, I can’t share his medical history with you. But this folder contains information about his service that’s publicly available. His only belongings are his dog tags. Feel free to look them over. I just need to run down the hall for a minute.  Be right back.

John: Thanks again, Mr. Dugan.  Well, our Mr. Bell did serve in the Korean War. It also looks…My God, I don’t believe this.

---

Julie: [ Claps ] Gentlemen, thank you. Thank you for the song and the dance, and I can’t remember when I’ve had so much fun.

Joe: Same here. Although I can’t remember much. You have a lovely voice, Doug, and your wife, she can cut a rug.

Julie: Oh, boy.

Doug: As can you, Mr. Doe. That was very entertaining.

Julie: Well, fellas, I’m sure we could sing and dance the day and night away, but I really do have to get my husband home.

Joe: Of course. Look, I really enjoyed meeting you both.

Doug: Well, thank you. Same here. And I hope you find out eventually what your real name is.

Joe: Thank you, Doug.

Julie: And I hope you find your son.

Joe: Oh, thank you. You know, for some reason I feel like I’m gonna get some answers pretty soon.

---

Steve: What is it, John?

John: Joseph Bell. He served in the same unit as my biological father.

Steve: Are you sure?

John: Oh, hell, yeah. After we ran it with Timothy Robichiuax, AKA Yo Ling, I gathered as much information on my dad as I could, and this is definitely the same unit.

Steve: Well, now, there’s a coincidence. That must mean they knew each other, right?

John: Well, I guess we’re about to find out.

---

Brady: Theresa’s out of her mind. We’re not right for each other. Never have been.

Brady: Theresa. No. Do you take me to be your unlawfully wedded husband?

Theresa: [ Chuckles ]

Brady: I’m never gonna let you go.

Theresa: Yeah? Well you damn well better not. Because I plan on holding on to you until death do us part.

Brady: [ Sighs ]

---

[ Theresa cries]

Xander: Theresa.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Sorry I’m late, man. John and I had an all nighter. So, how’d your date with Paulina go? Ah, well, in a word, it was a disaster.

Higher price. Something I can do for you? Yes. You can stop dragging your feet and accept my job offer. Oh, do come in. I want you as my police commissioner and I’m not leaving here until you sign on the dotted line.

I think it’s for the best, Brady. All I can say is Philip is damn lucky that the Salem PD were in between police commissioners when I left that note. Otherwise his ass would be in jail exactly where it belongs, Belle. Sorry, I know that you have compassion for him. Listen, I just know that he, he wasn’t in his right mind.

He needed help. And yes, I am compassionate to that, considering everything that’s going on with Sean. Have you heard from him? No, not since mom put him on that 24 hour hold. It’s been the longest 24 hours of my life.

Sean, how are you feeling today? I’m, I’m grateful actually, that you put me on that hold. I’d like to put you on a 24 hour hold so we can assess you and figure out the next step. I would feel a lot better if you would agree to that. Whatever you think is best. Doesn’t have to happen right this minute. We could, we could talk for a while.

I said, look at me. We’re in this together. We’ll get through it together.

I’m, I’m sorry I let you down. You did not let me down. I’m so proud of you that you came here and you asked for help. Okay. We’re gonna be okay. Everything is gonna be okay, but when I, I think about yesterday, it’s, it’s like I was a completely different person. And to be honest with you, I’m, I’m kind of embarrassed.

There’s no need to be. You were in pain. You did the right thing. You, you asked for help. And I got it. Marlena, I know, I know that me staying here last night, that was a good thing for me. But, um, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to go home. Now. Kayla,

Oh, sure, sure. What do you need? One of our officers was patrolling the outskirts of town, and they found an elderly man wandering alongside the road. Hi. He seems really sweet, but he’s also a little confused, and he has some scrapes and bruises. Would you take a look at him? Oh, absolutely, no problem. Thanks.

Hello, sir. Hi, I’m Dr. Johnson. Can you tell me your name? I was hoping you’d tell me.

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

Look, I know that one night in the hospital didn’t, I mean, didn’t cure me. And, um, and I realized that quitting therapy, that was… That was a big mistake. And like I said last night, I, I want to get started again. And this time, I want to, I’m going to stick with it. Promise. But I just think that, you know, if I’m going to get better faster, I think that I’d be better off being at home.

You know, with Belle. Yeah.

I know Belle would like that too. And judging by your session with Dr. Patel, I’d say there’s No reason not to lift the hold. Thank you. I will get the paperwork started. Sean, if you begin feeling the way that you did yesterday again, promise me you’ll get help. Promise me.

Boy, you could be sitting there for quite a while. Because unless the City Council amends its policy on supervisors dating subordinates, I’m not going back. I filed an appeal first thing this morning. I asked them to change the rules so that each reported relationship can be evaluated on a case by case basis.

And? They’re going to vote on it. When? They didn’t say. Of course they didn’t. You see, I know how this works. These decisions, they could take weeks, even months. And until then, I am not going back to that job. Or, maybe you could just stop seeing Jada.

So, you don’t know who you are? This, uh, attractive young officer here, I’m sorry, is it okay if I call you Mr. Fairfax? Well, just this once. This attractive young officer here and this other attra… Oh. It’s okay, but one more attractive and we may need to write you up. Well, I like to keep up with the times.

Okay, how about this, uh, this, uh, efficient officer here and this other efficient officer there told me that was John Doe. Um, I don’t think that’s really my name. You don’t, huh? Um, any ID? No? Um, well listen, how about this? Uh, sir, uh, uh, we need to take a look at you and make sure that you’re alright. So, would it be okay with you if we just admit you as John Doe and that way we can just get things rolling?

John Doe doesn’t have a lot of pizzazz to it. Although, I’ve been called a lot more than that in the past. It’s funny, I can’t remember those names either. Well listen, why don’t we get you settled in a room, okay? Can Officer Silver come with me? Oh, why do you, why do you say that? Well, look at her. Wouldn’t you like to have her for company?

Well, that’s very kind of you, but I do need to get back to work. Oh, too bad. It was a real pleasure meeting you, and I wish you all the best. Always the same as you, honey. Uh, maybe we’ll see each other sometime? You never know. Well, man can dream, can’t he? You take care of yourself, okay? And the same to you.

Look, thank you both. You’ve both been very efficient. It was our pleasure. Ah, she doth teach the torches to burn bright. Oh, you can add a broken heart to my ailments right now. Ah, duly noted. Well, apparently we don’t need to worry about your eyesight, huh? For my taste.

Alright, it is time for me to get to the hospital. Hey, keep me posted, okay? Yes, I will. Oh, hey, Dad. Hey, yourself. How you holding up, sweetie? Uh, as well as could be expected. Right, right. Hey, I got my kids here. Can I buy you lunch? Oh, I was actually going to see Sean. Right, right. Well, just let him know that he has our full love and support.

Just like you do, and don’t you ever freak him out. Oh, okay. Thank you. Alright. Love you, Tink. Love you. Gina, hey. Sean, hey. I’m, uh, I’m glad I ran into you. You, uh, you heard that Pauline will leave me and my doo doos as commissioner, right? Yeah, she said she wants to reinstate Rafe. Yeah, she came by yesterday to ask him to come back.

That’s great. And, listen, I want you to know that I, I think that she’s making the right decision. What happened to Rafe, uh, he doesn’t deserve it. I’ll tell him you said that. Also, I, I wanted to ask you how you feel about, uh, being partners with me again. Look, I know that, I know that things have been awkward between us for a while, and, uh, I know that I screwed up pretty badly, but I just Sean.

It would be great to work with you again. That’s awesome. I, I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I just, I hope that Ray feels the same way. I think he does. He hasn’t accepted the job yet. In fact, he’s seriously thinking about turning it down.

Mayor Price. Paulina, please. Paulina. Look, we’ve already established that even if the City Council admits that they were wrong and wants to change the decision, it could take a long time. I don’t want to be separated from Jada for months, a week, or even a day.

Ah, I can see it in your eyes. I’m not going to change your mind. You’re not. I suppose I can understand. I’ve been separated from Abraham for months and it’s been killing me. Yeah, I know. How’s that going? Has he made any progress on getting his memory back? No. Although he, he did take me on a date. Really?

Wanna go? My guess is that last night, was a swan song to our marriage.

Come on, man. Date couldn’t have been that bad. It was okay, at first, I guess. Then, uh, Then what? I asked her to tell me how we had met. And she told me that she was planning to bulldoze this entire square. And to destroy my reputation in order to pull it off. Oh. Well, I guess that wasn’t her finest hour. But you two got past it, didn’t you?

Oh, and I remember that, don’t I? Look, lying seems to be her modus operandi. And after the last few months, I’m just sick of being lied to. I’ve had it up to here. I would much rather be alone than to be lied to again.

Well, you’re pretty dehydrated, so we’re going to give you something that’ll perk you up. Oh, uh, intravenous single malt, maybe? Uh, more like a vintage Ringer’s Lactate, uh, you know, pairs well with Jell O. Okay, listen, I’m going to ask you a few questions, all right? And listen, don’t worry about it, if you don’t get them right or you don’t remember, it’s no big deal.

Not to you. Touche. Okay, uh, let’s start with, um, do you know what year it is? Uh, 2023, Year of the Rabbit. Oh, you show off. Um, how about, do you know who the current President of the United States is? You know, I try to stay out of politics. Oh, fair enough. Okay. How about, um, Do you know how old you are? Well, you know, from the looks of it, I’m pretty old.

If I’d have known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. I’m charming, though, right? Yes, yes, I would agree with that. So, Doc, what’s the verdict? Have I got all my marbles? I think you did pretty well, actually. But I’m going to go away, let you rest for a bit, and I’ll come back and we’ll reassess.

Okay, but just so you know, I have got to get out of here as soon as I possibly can. Really? Yeah. Why is that? Well, you may not know it, but look at me. I’m on a very important mission.

Okay. I know Paulina made some mistakes, but she eventually owned up to them, right? I mean, she’s not lying anymore, is she? Why would I want to fall in love again all over with a woman like that?

Sigh. Oi, what? Maybe, because the dude who fell in love with Paulina before wasn’t a self righteous prick.

Sorry, things didn’t go well with Aiden. Is there anything I can do to help? You could reconsider my job offer. Besides breaking up with Jada and taking the Commissioner’s job. Sigh. If you’re so dead set on turning me down, maybe you can help me figure out who to hire. I need someone in place ASAP.

What about her?

Sean. Oh, oh, hey, Val. I was just texting you. Oh. Your mom, uh, she lifted the hold. I’m just waiting for the paperwork to come through. Does that mean you’re feeling better? Yeah, yeah. I feel, I feel like I’m, you know, getting back to my old self. Good. I’m so glad. You really scared me last night. Look, I know. I know I did, and I’m sorry about that.

It’s not gonna happen again, I promise you. care about is that you’re okay. Yeah, well, I, uh, I am now. Good. And you know no matter how hard things get, you can always, always count on me. And that goes for my whole family. I actually just saw my dad and he said to tell you that everyone loves you. And that we’re all here for you.

Hey.

Okay, I guess I’m glad that Phillip’s alive. But you know what I’d like to do is go over there and wring his little curiocus neck. Come on, Sonny, I put you through all of that, and now it’s like, Oops! Oh, my bad! Sorry, my bad! Hey, I know, I know. Okay, so you sure you don’t want to press charges? Part of me does.

Big part of me does, dad, but honestly, Chloe and Belle are right. It’s not what grandfather would have wanted. And there’s a part of me that…

I want to honor that man’s memory somehow. Yeah. Yeah, I get that. Kinda. I don’t know, dad. I miss him. It wasn’t easy being his grandson, I’ll tell you that, but I, I know he loved me. Dammit, I loved him. Too. The man had a big heart. I’m saying that because after your mother died, we, um, we kind of looked out for each other.

Actually became friends. Which is pretty crazy considering you two were once mortal enemies, right? That’s a fact. From the moment he brought me from that hospital in Miami up here to Salem to be the pawn in his game. But you know what, back then I was so messed up. And I was suffering from memory loss and I didn’t even know who the hell I was.

Mr. Doe? Um, I’m going to go set up your CT scan, but in the meantime, I brought my good friend and colleague, Dr. Evans, to chat it up with you. Is this a hospital or a modeling agency? One beautiful woman after another. You are incorrigible. But charming. Well, that’s true. All right. I’ll see you later. Well, Doctor.

I’m not new to the rodeo here. You’re shrink, I guess. Yes. I am a psychiatrist. Oh. Well, uh, no offense, but I’m, I’m not crazy. I’m not even a little bit neurotic. Well, we don’t think that you are. I was wondering, uh, if I could maybe spark your memory a bit. Would that be helpful to you? Oh, completely. Have at it.

Okay. Dr. Johnson tells me that, uh, you were found on the side of the road. Do you know how you got there? Walking. Yeah. And apparently your shoes were rather worn out. Yeah. Do you know how long you were walking? Um, a couple of days. Wow. That’s a long time. I’d have been better if I’d had a flying car or even a regular car.

Yeah. But given your determination to get here, do you recall what your destination was? Here. Salem. Oh. And do you recall why you were coming here? To find someone very important to me. My son.

So, your son lives here in Salem. I don’t know. I’ve been looking for him for a long time. Years, actually. Then a couple of nights ago, I had this dream that he was nearby. And I put on my sturdiest walking shoes and I started walking. What’s your son’s name? I don’t know. I never knew him. Never met him. But thanks to this dream, I’m sure he’s right in this area.

Well, if you don’t know his name, and you’ve never met him, how will you know when you find him? Pretty good question, but some I… I’m feeling it in my heart. You think I am crazy? No, I think it’s normal. It’s a very strong bond between parents and children. And that’s why I have to find him. My son needs me.

I need him. You know, I wish I could have been there when he was growing up. There was so much fighting going on. And I had to get home. I remember, yeah, I had to get home. And what do you remember about home? I remember a farm. Well, maybe, maybe, maybe you’re from Brookville. There’s a lot of farmland there.

It doesn’t ring a bell. Do you think you were a farmer? No, it doesn’t ring a bell either. For all I know, I could have been a chimney sweep or a street artist or something like that. But all I know is I’ve got to find my son. It’s the last thing I ever do.

So how you holding up, kid? It’s been a rough couple of months here. Victor and losing custody of Rachel. And then, uh, Chloe being engaged to Xander. Yeah, it’s been, uh, It’s been a walk on the beach, Dad, but I’m hanging in there, you know. There’s not any chance that you can talk Chloe out of marrying that son of a bitch.

I’ve tried. I think it’s a lost cause. I think it’s just something that I’m gonna have to suck up and deal with and move on from, and… I need to focus on getting Rachel back anyway. Yeah, that’s, uh, that’s great, that’s important, that’s, uh… Just don’t give up on love completely, kid. I don’t know, Dad, I mean…

Maybe it’s just something that’s not in the cards for me. Ah, come on, that’s a bunch of bull. I don’t know. You never know what tomorrow’s gonna bring. And I know that there is a woman for you out there. Somewhere. Eventually, I’m sure of it.

I was thinking that, uh, maybe I should go to a meeting with Brady, like you said. I, I don’t, I don’t think that I’m an alcoholic, but I do know that I’ve been drinking too much. And that needs to stop. Well, I think Brady would be more than happy to go to a meeting with you. As long as it’s your idea. Even after how I spoke to him yesterday?

Saying that his life was a hot mess? Well, I don’t think Brady’s gonna hold that against you. He knows you were in an… Great shape at the time. Yeah, well, great shape or not, I, I owe him an apology. Uh, which reminds me, I, uh, I ran into Jada earlier, and we cleared the air. Good, good, I’m glad to hear that. Yeah, I asked her how she felt about being partners with me again, and she said she was fine.

So, if the, uh, new commissioner, who may or may not be Rafe, doesn’t have a problem with it, then that means I’m gonna be able to go back to work. What? Sean, I don’t think that’s a very good idea.

So, uh… What’s going on here? Well, Mayor Price needs a new police commissioner. And since they haven’t changed the policy on dating, I was recommending you. Me? Well, when Rawlings hired Sean, we agreed that you’d have been the perfect choice. Jada is extremely qualified, not to mention she has the best closed case record on the force.

She is smart, level headed, and an excellent administrator. And not only that, she’s respected by everyone. You make a strong case, and I am all for supporting my fellow women of color. Oh, trust me, you will not find anyone better than Jada. In fact, I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t hire her immediately.

I can think of one.

If I become the commissioner, the current dating policy would prevent you from coming back to the force. You would become my subordinate. Well then maybe I wouldn’t come back. No, forget it. I’m not about to let you throw away your career because of me. Well, I’m not about to let you pass up a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Thank you, but I’m Jada. Wait, wait, hang on a second, hang on a second, I just got a text. The city council has agreed to amend the policy. Oh, see now? There’s nothing to stop you from returning as commissioner. Well, what about Jada? This isn’t about me. Yeah, of course it is. How? Now that they changed the policy, you can come back.

Working for you? No. Okay, wait. Just stop right there, the both of you. Now you can argue till you’re blue in the face. It won’t make a damn bit of difference. I’ve already made my decision.

So you think I’m a self righteous freak? No, no, no, no. Dude, I’m really sorry I called you that. I think I’m just frustrated because you don’t remember how happy you were with Paulina. Happier than you’ve been in years.

I’m scared.

So there, I’ve said it. She gets to me. I don’t even remember her. But she gets to me. I’m scared. Of course you are. Cause love is freaking scary, man. By definition, you’re out of control. You can’t figure out how she makes you feel the way you do. So all your instincts tell you to run. And the whole time you’re running, you’re telling yourself you’re just being rational.

Who needs to be happy anyway?

I’m sorry, man. I’m really tired and I… I just popped off and told the truth.

You don’t think I should go back to work? No. No, not right now, Sean. You’ve been going through so much. I just think that you should take some time off and not jump back into such a high pressure job right now. Okay, well, listen. I get where you’re coming from, okay? I do. But I can handle this, I swear. Hey, look, if things get to be too much at work, then I’ll just stop.

Plus, I’m going to be seeing your mom twice a week, so she’ll keep me honest. Listen, I really think I’m going to be fine. I do. Okay. If that’s what you want. Thank you.

Locked my gut to defining him than ever before. Of course I can’t do it while I’m stuck in this bed. Hmm. Well, nobody’s gonna keep you from finding your son. But I think for right now, you would, you would do well to stay here, rest up, and get your strengths back. And what I’m gonna do is try to put the pieces of your life together.

And hopefully help you find your son. You really mean that? I do mean that. In fact, my, my husband John, um, is a private investigator. Another, uh, John Doe? No. No, his name is John Black. And, um, he calls me Doc as well. But I’m sure he’d be happy to take your case, if that’s okay with you. Are you kidding? I need all do.

You know, everyone here’s been so nice. You know, maybe it was meant to be that young officer brought me here, and led me straight to you, Dr. Evans. You know, this could be the beginning of a real friendship. I think you may be right.

Paulina made a very wise decision. Oh, I don’t know about that, but, um, I’m happy to be back. Yeah, well, you belong in that chair. And the fact that you said all those wonderful things about me… Oh, come on, they were all true. Yeah, well… I really appreciated that. It meant a lot to me. And, uh, you You told me that you were falling in love with me.

And I want you to know that I feel the same way. I’m falling in love with you

too. Well, the mayor’s office just put out a press release. Looks like Rafe has been reinstated as commissioner. Oh, that’s great. Now, if I could just… Get out of here and get back to you and the job and my life. Okay, well I’ll go see what’s taking the paperwork so long. Alright, thank you. But then after that…

Listen, you are not going back to the station. You’re coming home, and that is final. You are taking the rest of the day off, and that is settled. You’ve got no arguments from me. Good. And then maybe I can make us lunch, and we can binge watch something. Oh, there’s a new show on Peacock I wanted to check out.

Okay, as long as it’s not a rom com. Would I do that to you? No, it’s a murder mystery. I don’t remember the name of it, but it got really good previous. But like I said, after that I think we should just get back into a normal routine. That sounds great.

I’m so glad your square wasn’t torn down. You

seem like, like very nice people.

Unlike me, right?

Well, you know. Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bother you. I know you won’t want anything to do with me. No, that’s, that’s not true.

What do you say if we start over again? Really? Really? I

think I like that.

Yeah, I sure do hope Abe and Paulina find their way back to each other because they deserve each other. Unlike our client and her cheating spouse. So what do you say, partner, take the rest of the day off and do a little celebrating? Yeah! Celebrate! Oh! Hey, Doc! Yeah, we’re gonna celebrate. Black patch just wrapped up our latest case.

Oh, that’s wonderful. Because I think I have a new case for you. And I think you’ll find it very interesting.

Okay, the CT scan is almost set up. So if you can just sit tight here, somebody will come and escort you to it. Thank you. Um, how did things go with Dr. Evans? That woman is an angel. Her husband gonna help me find my son. He’s a private eye. Yes, I know that. My husband is his partner. And if anybody can find your son, they can.

From your lips.

Theresa? Hey Brady. It’s been a while.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 It’s just such a relief knowing that Sean is safe and that he’s agreed to this 24 hour hold. I know, I know that he’s not going to get past this in just the few hours he’s been at the hospital, but I’m just really glad that he’s willing to get help, you know? Uh, you know what? I’m gonna call you back, Mom.

I love you. Bye. Hi. Hi. Thank you for agreeing to meet me. Sure, it sounded urgent. Is this about reopening the custody suit? Uh, no. Um, it’s about Philip. Then you know. You know that he’s alive and well. I know a lot more than that. I know what he’s asking for. Don’t tell me you took him on as a client. You did, didn’t you, Bel Bel?

Who conned you into doing that? Oh my

god.

Hello, Chloe. No, no, no. This can’t be real. It can’t. It’s real. Touch me.

I’m alive. I don’t understand. You’re, you’re alive? That I am. But where have you been this whole time? I mean, Are you hurt? What about your leg?

Good as new. Physically. But you were being held hostage. How did, how did you get away? Did they hurt you? Chloe, I wasn’t held hostage. That was a lie. One out of a whole lot of lies. Come on, what are you saying? Are you gonna have to

think about it.

Thank you. Well, he’s still in shock. In time he’ll realize you’re not responsible for what you did when you were sick.

Even if he does… Which I doubt. Now that I’m back, the truth is going to come out. And I’m going to need a lawyer. Well, I’ll call Bell.

Bell is Brady’s lawyer. And his sister. Yeah, but she’s also your friend.

Hello? Miss Lane? Yeah, hi. You’re a million miles away. Uh, I, I was just thinking about all I’ve got to do at work. Oh, speaking of, we should probably be there by now. Uh, yeah, you know what, uh, would you go ahead without me? I have a bunch of stuff I’ve got to get done before. Well, uh, let me help you. No, it’s okay.

Go ahead. I’ll be fine, I promise. It’s not a big deal. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were trying to get rid of me.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say we’re not alone.

Alright, we’re all alone. No one’s there. Good. So, now we know. Not only did Dimitri marry Gwen to get his hands on the family fortune, the son of a bitch also has a side piece, name unknown. Side piece? He was sneaking in this house for sleepovers. Pretty risky behavior, don’t you think? Incredibly stupid behavior, because let me tell you, if that lawyer the family sent catches wind that his marriage to Gwen isn’t legit, there goes his inheritance.

Yeah, but something just doesn’t add up. I mean, if he was romancing Gwen 24 7, when did he have time to meet somebody and take up with her? I don’t know, I got, I got a better one for you. If you’re Dimitri, why have an affair in the first place, right? Why not just kick Gwen to the curb, and marry the woman you’re so hot for instead?

Right, exactly. So, the burdening question is, why did Dimitri marry Gwen instead of a side piece?

You’re joking, right? Leo, you can’t seriously intend to dress up like Gwen and come with me to meet the lawyer. I do intend to do that. And all I ask for in return is that check you promised me. And for you to do that thing you did to me in the shower in Reykjavik one more time. Look, you said this lawyer has to see the two of you all lovey dovey together or he won’t cut the check, right?

Right. So then this little act has to be letter perfect. And who knows our Gwenny better than I do?

Why would you assume that Dimitri told me everything? What do you mean? Nothing. Nothing at all. I saw the broken glass and I jumped to the wrong conclusion. I just forget I said anything. I would like to, but I can’t. Because you are you. Dimitri and I just got back from our honeymoon. We are madly in love.

So why would you assume that I’d be so angry that I’d want to hit him over the head?

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

Look, as I said, I jumped to the wrong conclusion. Uh, a negative one, as it were. Yes. Very negative indeed. Although not as random as you’d like me to believe. Wait, I know you know what you said that you and Dimitri were discussing strategy for the Demer boardroom. Yes. Well, he told me that he had suggested that you shore up your position by partnering with another member of the family.

Right. Right, but he didn’t divulge to me which family member you had in mind. So you thought that I would be so pissed off that I would just start chucking things about? Is that right? Well, jet lag has endowed your power of perception.

So? Who is it? You’ll have to ask, Dimitri. Oh, come on, Kristen. I can see by the look on your face you’re just dying to let the cat out of the bag. Okay. Okay! I’m gonna tell you, but you… You have to tell hubby that you forced me to give you the name. Done. Who is it? Chad. Chad? I told him you’d be furious. Not furious, more like confused.

Chad. I mean, everybody knows that he hates me for coming between he and Abigail, and he’s not exactly fond of you. So why would he want to partner up with my husband and you?

This lawyer is no fool. Otherwise my family would never hire him. He will spy you in a second. Obviously you’ve never done drag, and have you forgotten that for a brief time I was married to the queen of the stage? Oh no, I remember Darius Rose. Or should I call her Jackie Cox? You can call him the person who taught me everything I need to know about making this a work.

You have any idea how much money would be riding on your costume and makeup skills? Says the man ISA agent in his lame attempt to take over the world. Touche. So? Is that a yes?

So why didn’t Dimitri marry Mystery Woman instead of Gwen? Maybe she’s married or engaged. Makes sense. But, if Demetri married to Kashyn, why Gwen? I mean, she’s got a worse reputation than mine. I don’t know, maybe time was short and she was, well, there. I think there’s another reason he married Gwen. And it’s big.

Dammit, we need to figure this out today.

So you… And Phillip and Chloe were up late last night talking legal strategy, trying to figure out how Phillip doesn’t have to pay for his crimes, Belle. Listen, Phillip knows what he did was wrong. Oh, that makes me feel so much better. And that also explains why Sean didn’t call me back last night. What?

What does this have to do with Sean? Well, after I saw Phillip… I went right to Sean’s office. I wanted to talk to him, but he wasn’t there. So I left him a note telling him to call me right away. He didn’t call me back. So is it safe to assume that, uh, the police commissioner is firmly on Phillip’s side at this point?

Sean didn’t call you back because he wasn’t there. Because he’s not the police commissioner anymore. He’s not? Since when? Since Paulina became the acting mayor and she decided Rafe should be in that job.

Okay, I’m sorry I shot my mouth off. Sean’s in a really, really bad place right now. How bad? Well, he is never gonna forgive himself for shooting Bo, and now he blames himself for Victor’s death, and um, I’m just worried that, He could hurt himself or worse. Oh, God, Belle. So, Mom got him to submit to a 24 hour cycle at the hospital, and he didn’t put up a fight.

So, he’s safe for now. Is there anything I can do? For him? I’ll let you know. What about you? Is there anything I can do for you? Only one thing. Please, don’t press charges against Philip.

Um, you said that you wanted to get to the office. And ignore the loud noise that just came out of your old bedroom. No, I think that was the neighbor’s apartment. Oh. Maybe it’s Brady. Brady? Now I know why you wanted me to go to the office without you. He came by while I was in the shower, didn’t he? You told him to hide in the room because I was still here.

You are being ridiculous. You know I’d go mad if I found him in here. It’s not Brady, okay? Then who is it?

You might as well come on out here.

What does Chad have to gain by working with you and Dimitri? He’s at Titan now. Yes, I know that. But he is still a voting member of the DiMera board. And nobody else has approached him yet. So I suggested that Dimitri and I, well, try to entice him into being a silent partner. Okay, well, entice away, entice whomever you please.

Just leave me out of it. Where are you going? The jet lag has just set in. All I want now is a nibbler nap.

Where are you going? To Dimitri’s room, of course. I mean, there has to be something in there that’s going to tell us what we want to know.

I don’t know, Leo, this is all very, very risky. But it’s not, I swear, listen to me. Okay, Gweny was supposed to send for her things, but she must be so busy at the mansion because most of her clothes are still here. Including a fabulous pair of Blahniks that are to die for. Oh, come on, come on, come on. My point is this, I am sneaking around behind my best friend’s back because I am powerless to resist you.

I flew to Iceland because the thought of being away from you for more than a few days was unbearable to me. Do you think I would risk what we have if I was not certain that I could pull this off?

Well? Wow.

I have four words that I never thought I’d ever say to you. You better get dressed.

Look, I made up a cover story, didn’t I? And she bought it. Great, great. So now I just have to explain why I entered into a deal with an uncle that I barely know who despises her. A what? Would you rather I told her the truth? I would rather you just keep your big mouth shut. You said that you didn’t have any choice but to tell her about that damn cortisol.

Is that not true anymore? I’m not so sure. Will you hurry up in there? I, um, I’ve got something in the works, but God knows if it’s going to solve my problems. I will keep you posted. You damn well better solve your problem. I’m counting on that payday.

You and me both. What is taking so bloody long? you know. I’m doomed.

I asked what I could do for you because of Sean, okay? Don’t, don’t use that to guilt me into trying to get Phillip off the hook, Belle. I am not trying to guilt you into anything. I’m just trying to make you understand that Phillip was mentally ill. Of course. And he is better now, Brady. Come on. I know you believe in second chances, and I also know that Victor would have wanted all of us to help Philip get his life back together, and you know that too, don’t you?

Please. Please. Brady, I know that you don’t have any reason to forgive Philip for what he did, but I also know you have a big heart in there, and I know that you can do this for him. I know you can.

So you faked everything. You knocked Brady out, dragged him to the riverbank, shot him full of alcohol, and then what? Left a trail of your own blood to the river? Yeah, that’s right. And people bang on and on about how bad I am. I was out of my mind. He’s in a mess, Xander. He could go to prison. He can’t show his face in public.

She decided to let this wanker just hole up in our spare room. If you hadn’t knocked over that lamp, I’d, I’d be none the wiser, Chloe. How long were you planning on keeping me in the dark?

Maybe we should wait until we’re sure they’re out of the house. No, that might give Demetri the chance to pull the wool over the lawyer’s eyes. Okay, I will stay out here and keep watch. Go see what you can find, but be fast.

I’m waiting for Mr. von Leuschner and his new wife now. I’ll leave for the airport as soon as the meeting’s over. I hate being away from you two. I love you. Ah, I think they just showed up.

Mr. Elliot Roth. Yes, Mr. von Leuschner, I presume. Right. Uh. I’m supposed to be meeting with your wife, too. Well, where’s Miss Rischek? Uh, yes, yes, uh, she’s just a little nervous. She’s checking her makeup. But I’m here now, sweetheart. And just so you know, I’m Gwen Von Leuschner now. It is such a pleasure to meet you, Mr.

Roth. Oh,

Gwen. Hey. Hi. Hi. What are you doing just lingering outside mine and Dimitri’s bedroom door? I, I wasn’t. I just, I actually just noticed how great that painting is, right? Yeah, sure, if you like that sort of thing. Well, I mean, there’s just so much, uh, subtlety in the colors. It’s beautiful.

Look, I’m, I’m really knackered, and I just really want to have a nice lie down now, so if you… Oh, I’m sorry, I must be really having a clumsy day. Get out of my way. I can’t let you go in there. Why the bloody hell not?

Is there some reason why you don’t want me to go into my own bedroom? No, I, I just, uh, You know, I just saw Harold go in there.

I’m sure that if you just give Harold a few minutes, I They’ll have you all unpacked. Really? That’s funny. Because I unpacked myself right after we got home. Well, you know Harold. He is thorough. He’s probably in there, unpacking Dimitri’s bags, fluffing the pillows. Hey, Gwen, why don’t we go downstairs? We can have a drink, you can tell me all about your trip to Iceland.

Why don’t you just go ask Leo yourself the next time you see him? Why should I do that? Because he’s such a good friend to me, he just decided it would be fun to turn up to my honeymoon. Now can you please get away from the door?

Yeah. Thank you.

Can you believe this man holds my chair, takes my arm as we cross the street, I mean really. Is there a luckier day on earth? So what exactly do you need to know about us? Well, I’m sure you’re aware your relatives have their concerns that your marriage to Miss Rizchek is one of convenience designed purely to meet the terms of the Codicil.

Oh, I am aware that my family is a bunch of cynics, and they can think whatever they want, but Gwen and I, we know the truth. You talk about a marriage of convenience, I find it very convenient to have this delicious man available to me 24 hours a day and night.

You must admit, the timing of your wedding was suspect. Oh, I’ll admit nothing of the sort. And you should know that I was ready to let that money go because the right woman hadn’t come along. And then one day, Gwen walked into my life and I knew immediately that we were destined for each other. Hmm.

What hmm? And why that scoffy look on your face when you haven’t even heard half of our story? I don’t know what you’re thinking, Mr. Roth, but don’t be too hasty. See, you are about to learn what a marriage made in heaven is all about.

You got so quiet. I’m trying to think.

Hello, Brady. Mel. Hi, what do you want? I heard about Victor. I could say I’m sorry, but… Why start out with a lie? I thought lying was your comfort zone. How’s our daughter Rachel doing? Oh, she’s thriving. And hungry. That’s why I’m here at this lousy pub. She tells me the fish sticks here are pretty fabulous.

And she’s crazy about them. Well, unfortunately, they’ve been off the menu for quite some time. But if you go to the fish market on Allenford, they make their own. And she doesn’t know the difference. Ah, well, thank you. That’s decent of you to help me out. I wasn’t helping you out for you. I just want my daughter to have something enjoyable for dinner.

It has nothing to do with you. By the way, uh, That custody that the judge awarded you, Don’t get too used to it.

I’m, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about Philip, but it was for your own sake. I didn’t want to put you in a position to have to cover for him. Please, please forgive me.

You know, it’s a good thing that I have a hard time staying mad at you. It’s a good thing for you she still cares about you. Right, it is. But you’re the one she’s marrying. She told you that, did she? Congratulations, you’re a lucky guy. Yeah, I really am.

And Chloe, well, she deserves to get whatever she wants. And what she wants, apparently, is you.

Maybe it slipped your mind, Kiriakis.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’m quaking in my boots.

Well, I guess that exchange told me everything I need to know. You’re pressing charges against Philip. Wrong. Talk me out of it. What? You’re gonna keep this quiet? Alright, Belle, look. Here’s the deal. The way I see it, as soon as Philip shows his face around town, I’m going to be cleared of all suspicions, alright?

If he goes to jail, it doesn’t help me get what I want. I want my daughter back. I want her away from Kristen’s clutches as soon as possible, so… I will not press charges against Philip, okay? Oh, Brady. I don’t know how to thank you. Just You’re in major trouble. I mean, you could go to prison. But you decided to come back here, risk all of that, just to go to Victor’s funeral.

I was sick to death of hiding. And when I heard about my father…

I had to be here, in hopes of… Saying a final goodbye. And being with family.

Oh, it’s Belle.

Is that supposed to be funny? Well, we heard your honeymoon got cut short, so I thought, you know, I would do something to make it up to you. Oh, come on. Give it up. You were snooping. Why would DiMera board meeting.

I have no sense in denying it anymore. Babe, she caught us. Red handed. You can just count on this room being locked from now on. Get the hell out of here, please. I should have known not to tangle with you. Yes, you should have. You DiMeras, you’re all alike. You’re a DiMera too

now. For as long as the married lasts, anyway. Whoops.

So, I’m fascinated to hear all about this so called marriage made in heaven. My wife, she gets carried away. Oh, I’m not carried away. I’m just eager to share with Mr. Roth how happy you make me and how crazy I am about you. And you’ll be surprised to know we didn’t even like each other when we first met. I realized later that my resistance to this man and how he made me feel, well, it was a defense mechanism.

Because the truth is, I was falling hard for him. But I had no reason to believe that anything would ever come of that.

Feels like destiny now, but then, there were too many obstacles. But because of the profound connection we felt for each other, we were determined to push those obstacles right out of the way.

No one understands what Dimitri and I have. Not even my best friend in the entire world. Losing a friend like that used to seem unthinkable. But damn it. Why should I have to give up on this wonderful man? When he is absolutely perfect for me. When it feels so real, so right.

What do you have to say to that? Very moving. Problem is, you’re not Gwen Reschek anymore than I am.

Chloe is so relieved and Philip will be too. Seriously, Brady, I cannot thank you enough. Belle, Belle, let me be very clear. I need the judge to know that I’m no killer. Sooner, the better. Okay, I want my daughter back. As long as that happens… Philip has no reason to fear me. You will be so grateful. Well, I’m not doing it for him, okay?

I’m doing it… I’m doing it for my grandfather. And you. And Chloe.

I can’t believe this. I can see my mother. I can go to my father’s funeral. I can… Try to get my life back.

I guess the only thing that’s left to say is… Thank you. For everything. I’m sorry for the intrusion. Philip,

I’m really happy for you. And please take care of yourself. I will.

Congratulations again. Be good to Chloe.

How dare you? I am Gwen Ryschek. Make that Van Leuschen. Oh, please. I’ve done my homework on the woman. I’ve also been to a few drag shows with my husband. Whoever you are, you’re good, but not good enough. However, that speech you gave about your feelings for Dimitri, I could tell he was speaking from the heart.

It’s obvious that you two are in love. In love?

Can you call me as soon as you can, please? I just caught Gabby searching our room. She and Stefan are on the wall path. They’re trying to get something on you. That

thing went so gullible. She thinks this is all about the mirror business. Yeah, but I wish you’d follow him for that rose petal bit. I know. Now she’s got her guard up. I don’t think that’s gonna matter anymore. Why? Well, I found this before she opened the door. They’re from Dimitri’s carry on.

He paid for two rooms? On separate floors. Which could only mean one thing, he took his girlfriend on his honeymoon. Pretty good, don’t you think? Oh, you have no idea how good. What does that mean?

Dimitri didn’t bring a woman. Dimitri brought Leo Stark. Leo? Leo. You can tell we’re in love? Oh, it’s quite obvious. It’s also obvious you can’t act on it. At least not publicly. And that’s because you’ve been forced into a corner by an archaic and homophobic legal document that your family drew up that stipulates you must marry a woman in order to be eligible for your inheritance.

So what exactly are you saying? What I’m trying to tell you here Is I’m on your side. But there’s limits to what I can do. What kind of woman’s? As far as I’m concerned, you’ve met the terms of the codicil. But there are those that won’t see it the way that I do. The money is to be paid in installments.

This is the first one. If you want the cheques to keep coming in, you’ll have to keep up appearances with Miss Rischek. She can’t be made aware of your relationship, neither can the rest of the world. Unfortunately. It is my fervent hope that someday in the future… You won’t have to hide your true feelings.

I will go back to hiding my true feelings the minute we leave here, but in the meantime…

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It was my pleasure.

Better get going

Breakfast my lady. . What is this? Said you were tired of grabbing meals, uh, on the run in between meetings, and you went to all this trouble because of some random comment. No, it wasn’t trouble. It was my pleasure. Well, it looks amazing. But, I might need a little help working up an appetite.

Oh yeah? Mm hmm. you don’t, I will. Okay, I’m

gonna… Go away! I trust you had a good night’s sleep, Mr. Roth? Indeed, I wasn’t counting on being in Salem this long. Has Mr. von Leuschner returned from his honeymoon? I’d like to settle the matter of his marriage legitimacy, so I can promptly release the funds. Dimitri has not yet returned, but of course, I will have him get in touch the moment he does.

Or, you could take me up on my offer and leave the funds with me. I thought I made it clear, Mr. Mayra. I must meet Dimitri and his new bride in person before any such funds can be released to anyone. What’s with global finance? It’s so Byzantine. Alright, Mr. Roth, I’m just trying to help. But to reiterate, uh, it’s best we continue to keep this little mission between us and away from certain prying eyes in this house.

Ah, you are something, Mrs. DiMera. And you, Mr. DiMera, under normal circumstances, I’d say close that door and see where things go, but… I think playtime is over. As bad as I want to push back against that, I have to agree with you. If we’re going to get to the bottom of what exactly is going on in this house, we have no time to waste.

Yeah, and I think a good starting place is the curious case of Elliot Roth. Is it me, or is all this hush hush investigation talk kind of… I’ve been aphrodisiac. You are hot as hell as a detective. Now I promise that once we get to the bottom of what Kristen and company are up to, I’m gonna shut that door and we’re not coming out for a month.

Oh, that works for me.

Oh my goodness! Look who’s here! The newlyweds are back from Iceland. How was the honeymoon? Well, it was great. Mostly great. We had some unexpected company. Company? The air turned up. Oh, really? Uh, did he have a reason for being in Reykjavik? Apparently there was a, uh, a secret Madonna concert. Uh, the Fjord Extravaganza or something like that.

And he, he just got a last minute ticket. Oh, of course, of course. You see a link that has a secret Madonna show on your newsfeed and then you just click on it and all of a sudden you are in a foreign country. But I am a little surprised that you are back home ahead of schedule. It wasn’t because of your friend, was it?

Oh, come on, Kristen. You know exactly why we’re back home ahead of schedule. And so do I. I cannot believe I am going back to the Salem Inn alone. While my BFF gets to go home to her big mansion and be the little spoon to my boyfriend. Dammit, I should have left you on the baggage carousel. Hey! Watch where you’re going!

Sonny?

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

Sonny, you’re back in Salem. Oh, wow, your powers of deduction are second to none, as always. Hey, good luck dragging that bag across the square. Wait, wait, wait. When did you get back? Why are you here? Guess your powers of deduction aren’t so spot on after all. You might have heard my Uncle Vic died. Of course, I did.

I’m so sorry.

Sure you are.

So, you talked to Dimitri and he told you I told Gwen that, uh, you and I needed an in person powwow before the upcoming DiMera board meeting. Because as you pointed out, our combined shares have created quite a significant power block. But, we needed to strategize before walking into that room. Oh, you suck.

I certainly did. Oh, we do, yes. Oh, you know what? I am sorry that I interrupted your honeymoon and Gwen, please forgive me for playing dumb. I thought, uh, or I assumed that Dimitri was going to fill you in, but I didn’t know if he had a chance to yet. Right, well, sweetheart, why don’t you start unpacking?

Kristen and I have plenty to discuss, and the sooner that we finish, the sooner that I can devote myself exclusively to you.

Sold.

Madonna? Really? Fiction, of course. Leo’s presence had to be explained once he was found out by Gwen at the hotel, and it was between Madonna and Gwen Stefani. Oh, hold on, wait a minute. You said that you were stringing Leo along to Von Leusch Dakota sale. Mm hmm. Pray tell, nephew. Why did you invite him on your honeymoon?

Oh, unless there’s something real between the two of you. Uncle

Stephen! Ah, there she is, my favorite niece in the whole wide world. Really? Really. You know, it turns out that I actually have a bit of a problem, and you are the only person in the whole world who can help me. See, Gabby told me that the two of you were playing a game of 20 questions. Do you know that’s my favorite game?

Well, it is. And I got so jealous when Gabby told me that you were playing. Do you know why? Because she was trying to guess a secret. And it turns out that I love secrets almost as much as I love to game 20 questions. So why don’t you and I pick up where you and Gabby left off? Wouldn’t Gabby be bad?

Maybe a little bit. But, wouldn’t it be fun if you and I could guess the secret before Gabby does? That’s mean. No, uh, Rachel, wait.

Sorry, I’m not ready to have my room cleaned just yet.

Oh! Sorry, I thought that… Not housekeeping, no broom. And who are you? What? You don’t remember me from last night? I’m Gabriela DiMera, Kristen’s sister in law. And you’re the one and only Elliot Roth! I’m sorry, uh, Mrs. DiMera, you’ve caught me unawares. Is there something I can do for you? Elliot Roth is asking what you can do for me, the prestigious headmaster of Martin Prep.

Listen, not one single thing. This visit is about what I can do for you.

My brother is married to an opportunistic fortune hunter who is hell bent on sleeping her way to the corner office at DiMera. And the last thing that Dimitri and Gwen need right now is that woman knowing about this enormous fortune that he has come into. That’s an intriguing offer, Mrs. DiMera, but as you can see, I’m in the middle of my breakfast and feeling rather peckish.

Well, aren’t we lucky this isn’t going to take very long. See, I have a daughter named Ariane who’s the most gifted, charming, effervescent young girl and… I would like to do you the great honor of admitting her to Martin Prep. I understand you’d like to have your daughter enrolled at our school, but I’m not the person to speak to on this matter.

Fine. Okay, fine. You know what? Give me the name and the number I have to call, and I will call them right now.

Rachel. I promise playing the game with me would not be mean to Gabby. See, Gabby and I are always trying to one up each other, right? It’s like a competition between us. In fact, when she finds out that you’ve been helping me, she’s probably going to want to recruit you to get back at me. So it’s not mean for anyone, it’s actually fun for everyone.

Aren’t all married people as weird as you? So is that a yes? Does that mean we get to play? Sure, okay. Yes! Okay. Oh, before we start, it’s really important that nobody else know that we’re playing, right? Cause this game’s about a secret, and secrets are secret for a reason, right? Okay, so. I have 20 questions to figure out what this secret is.

Nineteen. Nineteen? Oh, right! Of course, because Gabby used one of her guesses to ask you if the secret was about somebody who lives in this house, and you said yes, right? Now it’s eighteen. Okay, okay. You’re a tough cookie, you know that? Alright, so, the secret is about somebody in the house. Who could it be?

Um, um,

I’m gonna look inside your brain for a second. Oh. Is the person in the house Dimitri? Yes. Alright. And your mom, she knows what the secret is, yes? Okay. So, Huh, well I doubt the secret’s about Dinosaurs Or robots No See, the best secrets are always about money So

Are your mom and Dimitri stealing money? No, of course not! Okay, okay, okay. I’m sorry. I let my imagination get the best of me. Fifteen. Okay, fifteen.

Now auntie, I never said anything about inviting him on my honeymoon. The man just…

And yes, I have been gently stringing him along so that he doesn’t go chirping like some gossipy little bird to Gwen, and I finally get my windfall. Eye on the prize, baby. Correction. When we get our windfall, baby. Yeah. And that is only going to happen if you convince this barrister, Mr. Roth, that your marriage is legit.

Trust me. I can handle him. Hmm, can you? Because he called just before you got here, and he was very eager to see you and Gwen. So, nephew, how are you going to keep Gwen from finding out about your being an heir to a fortune when she has to meet the man who holds the purse strings

first? Come on in. Oh, hey, Alex. Hey, smells good in here. What you guys cooking? Um, yeah, just, um, You know, whipped up a little something something. Oh. Um, Stephanie told me that she was with you when you got the news about your uncle, Victor. I’m really sorry. Thank you, man. Yeah, it’s been a rough go on everyone.

I didn’t come by to horn in on your breakfast or whatever. I actually just came by to ask a small favor. Okay. Ask away. It’s your help. I need it again, Steph. You know, we have that meeting coming up with Yuri in a little while, and I figured since we’re working again on the Basic Black Project, maybe you could handle it solo.

Hey, you know, Alex, if you’re asking that because you’re worried about me getting jealous, I meant it when I told you that I’m not gonna try to, you know, keep you guys apart anymore. I appreciate that. That’s not why I’m asking.

So why are you asking, Alex? Do you have somewhere else you need to be? Um, no. I don’t know why. I mean, you’re the one running Basic Black. Shouldn’t you be the one that’s, is there? Yeah, I am running it, but um, you know, I’ll tell you guys the truth. I’m just not up for it, period. I am not up for anything these days.

Is that because of Victor?

You know what the last time I saw the old man was? It’s when I moved out of the house. He had given the job to Maggie that I thought I should have gotten. Did I act in a dignified way? Was I gracious? No. I was petty about it. It wasn’t just petty, I was bitter and angry and now I’m just like trying to find a way to live with that.

Because I know when I gave both him and Maggie the deep freeze, it hurt him. Even if he never showed it. I’m sorry that you’re struggling with that. And hey, don’t worry about the meeting. Take time for yourself. Thank you, Steph. So, then, um, then… What is gonna be your plan, Alex? Are you just gonna go back to your place and draw the blinds?

Wallow in your guilt?

That, that’s gonna be your solution?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Sonny, come on, come on. Don’t just leave like that. Leo, I’ve been on a plane for hours, okay? I do not have the time nor the energy to deal with your act today. Act? Act? You think my sympathy, my grief over your uncle’s death is some sort of song and dance? I don’t know. It’s like you have this ongoing performance art shtick where nothing out of your mouth sounds remotely sincere.

That is so unfair. You know, I got weepy when I heard the news, which is huge for me, because my therapist and I have been talking about how I don’t have access to my tears. Well, I’m really glad you’re making progress in therapy, Leo. Please, make sure to invite me to your next silent meditation retreat. I cried because of you, Sonny.

Because I knew how sad this all made you. Is, is that, is that why you reached out? Okay, look, I’m bad about things like that. I’m sorry. But I know why you’re really upset with me. Do you? Of course I do. It’s because I helped Xander cover up what he did to Bonnie. But if you would just let me explain. You already did, Leo.

And I, I, really, I don’t want to hear it. And to be perfectly frank, I expect that kind of behavior from Xander. Alright? He’s a grade A con man. But you, you know, you keep talking about how you want to become a better person. But you just end up hurting people. Especially the people who care about you.

Bottom line, it’s always about you. What you want. What you need. And to hell with everyone else. What are you saying? That I’m a narcissist? I’m not a narcissist. Keep telling yourself that, buddy. Sonny! Sonny, there is a beating heart in here. I have feelings, emotions, just like anybody else. For instance, I just started volunteering at an animal shelter.

Come on, the thought of you picking up dog poop? Ew, no, I would never do that. But I walk the dogs, I pet them, stuff like that. If I was only concerned about myself, as you are insinuating… Then explain to me how it’s possible that I have fallen head over heels in love.

You’ve fallen head over heels in love? Mm hmm. Okay, and tell me, does this person even know that you exist? Uh, yes, they do. In fact, it’s quite serious. He’s rich, gorgeous, completely obsessed with me. Did I mention he looks like George Clooney, circuit ER? In a couple of years, he’s going to be the silver daddy in tartan pants I never knew I needed.

Now this all sounds very believable. Next, you’re gonna tell me you’re in a throuple with Ricky Martin. No, but that sounds amazing. Funny enough, my lover’s name is Matthew Perry. Oh my god, see, I knew you were Not the actor. Like, I would ever date him after the way he dissed Keanu in his memoirs. Plus, my Matthew Perry is way hotter than the Friends version.

Okay, well, keep on dreaming, Leo. And remember, just hit that snooze button on your arm. What are you saying? That you don’t believe me? You don’t think I could score someone like that? A ten out of ten? In a word? Uh, no. No, I don’t. Okay, fine. I’ll prove it to you. Here is his picture. Now what do you have to say?

I’m sure there’s a way to satisfy that lawyer’s needs without getting Gwen involved. Well, good luck with that. Roth called this morning and mentioned Gwen, specifically. Well,

I’m going to leave you, Mr. Von Leuschner, to figure out how you’re going to come clean with Mrs. Von Leuschner.

Why don’t you put the pen and paper down and let’s pause for a moment, shall we? Applications for Martin Prep aren’t generally considered over a plate of lukewarm eggs. If you want your daughter to attend, she’ll have to go through the application process, just like everyone else. I have just one question for you, Mr.

Roth. If I had a son instead of a daughter, would things be different? Mrs. DiMera, Martin Prep is open to all genders. Your son would have the same chance as any other applicant. It’s funny you say that, because Martin Prep is an all girls school.

Why don’t we drop that facade now, so you can tell me who you really are?

Okay, looks like I’m running out of guesses here. Does the secret have something to do with Dimitri and his new wife Gwen? Like, are they doing something together? No, she doesn’t know anything about it. Anything about what? Twelfth and last. Ah, okay. So Gwen doesn’t know. About the secret. Does that mean that cousin Dimitri is having a playdate with someone he should not be having a playdate with?

Do sleepovers count? Oh, sleepovers definitely count. Is cousin Dimitri having a sleepover with somebody? Yes. And who is he having a sleepover with? That’s not a yes or no question. Nine left. Nine questions about what?

Well, Rachel and I were just playing a super fun game of 20 questions. Oh, really? And what kind of questions were you being asked, sweetheart? Well, she can’t tell you that because it would ruin the surprise, right? Right. Right. Well, we wouldn’t want that, would we? No. Sweetheart, you know, Cook has made you some chocolate chip cookies.

Why don’t you go to the kitchen and see if they’re still warm? Oh, goody! Well, I guess you’re gonna have to live with the suspense. Guess so.

Dammit, Gabby, I hope to hell you are having better luck than I am. I wonder how the real headmaster of Martin Prep will feel when he finds out someone’s pretending to be him. Should we call the school, and maybe they can call the police? Okay, fine. I’m not the headmaster of Martin Preck. The truth is I’m an attorney.

And I’ve come to Salem to certify that the requirements laid out in the Von Leuchner Codicil are duly met. The Von Leuchner Codicil? Wait, wait, what the hell is that?

So, what do you think? Have I proven my point? Um, well, he’s got the correct number of nipples. Uh, belly button, that is a mighty fine torso. You’re Dayton Leo. Congratulations. Forget his nipples, look at those abs. It’s like the statue of David came to life and started cooking me goat cheese frittatas. Okay, so he does floor crunches for six hours a day at the gym.

Also, can someone please tell me why I’m still standing here? Because we’re… friends. Friends. Leo, my dad was a wreck when his wife Bonnie went missing. Bonnie, his wife, was a wreck when she was kidnapped. Those people are my family, man, and you, you, you didn’t give a damn. You betrayed our friendship. You betrayed me.

That comes with a cost.

Dimitri? Yes, my love. Did it not go well with Kristen? Uh, it… It went fine. Better than fine.

Something’s not right. Tell me. What’s troubling you?

Whatever it is, we can work it out. Together.

No, I wasn’t planning on wallowing, Chad. And was that really called for? Alex is in mourning. I’m not, I’m not trying to be insensitive. Okay, trust me, Alex, I know all too well what it’s like to want to isolate and shut yourself off from the world when you’re grieving. Believe me. But you gotta find a way to move through it.

Okay, now you said you haven’t been home since you moved out. Okay, so now is the time to go home. Okay, you fix things with Maggie. Okay, it’s too late to do it with Victor, so you smooth things out with her. And Victor loved Maggie more than anyone else on the planet. Okay, so you bury the hatchet with her, to make amends to him.

That’s how, that’s how you honor his memory.

You’re right. You’re right about all of it, thank you. You know what, I’m gonna head over there right now, actually. Seriously, thank you. Good luck.

What was that for? You’re a good man, Chad. That was exactly what Alex needed. Yeah, what’s that? A pep talk? No. A friend.

I don’t think I would cause friends. Not too soon for

that. If only Sonny could see Dimitri’s gorgeous, almost too symmetrical punim, or that other impressive part of his anatomy. Dammit, this isn’t like that time I told my co workers I was riding motorcycles across South America with Channing Tatum. Dimitri is real. And he’s way hotter than Sonny. Not to mention his dumb, hunky, unfortunately straight brother Alex.

Alex. Sonny boy. Oh man, are you a sight for sore eyes, huh? You too. Hey, Dad told me you moved out. What are you doing here? I did. I came by to see Auntie Mag. She’s napping, so I decided to hang around until she wakes up. God, I’m, I’m sure she’s gonna be thrilled to see you. Yeah, well, I’m not so sure about that.

There’s something that I need to.

I, I, I’m so sorry. Can I just have a second? I need to, to, to, to take care of this.

Is everything all right? Yes. Yes, everything is, is fine. Uh, it was Kristen. She, uh, she and I did a head count earlier when we were talking and we came to realize that we’re going to have to cut a deal with another shareholder if we want to get what we want. Oh, goodness me. Navigating through this family is like…

Tiptoeing through a minefield. Tell me about it. Gwen, I need to, uh, I need to go run an errand. I think it might help clear my head a bit. Yes, you go. You go. You, you do you, my darling. You, you’ve got this. Okay, thank you. And, uh, and I’ll see you soon.

I can’t wait to hear how you figure this out. You and me both.

Thank God you’re here. Gabby, Rachel and I, the game we were playing was interrupted by Kristen. We were so I know the secret.

So I decided to come here and try and make things right with Maggie. Maggie’s gonna need everyone’s help to get through this. I’m really glad you’re gonna be part of it. Yeah.

What’s this?

Wow, look at these.

I hope Alex takes your advice. And why wouldn’t he? He was great. And caring. I’m really proud of you for extending yourself to him that way. Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t listen to my sister Kristen then. What do you mean? Yesterday when I left you two, uh, together, she said that I was making a huge mistake.

That, that, um, no matter what, I shouldn’t trust, uh, I shouldn’t trust Alex with you, no matter what. That’s what she said. Well, that’s just cynical. And no surprise coming from her. You know, sometimes I think your family doesn’t know how to be happy unless they’re… Stirring up drama. Yeah, that’s true. DVO, as I live and breathe, what are you doing here?

I got your text. We have a problem. What? I told you I didn’t tell anyone about us, not a soul. No, no, Don’t tell me that lawyer figured everything out. Oh, I haven’t even met with him yet. But if I can’t figure out everything in fast, it’s all over.

So the guy just came clean? See, the incentive to keep quiet isn’t as strong for Mr. Roth as it is for Kristen. See, he’s only here because it’s a job. So he told you that there’s a boatload of money out there and all Dimitri has to do is claim it? Yeah, and all that creep needs to do is prove that his marriage to Gwen is real.

Huh. This has Kristen written all over it. So Dimitri is cutting her in for a share. Maybe he has to. Cause maybe she’s the one that knows who he’s having sleepovers with. Ha! My nephew has a side piece. And all we have to do is figure out her name. And then, we’re in the driver’s seat. I was this close to telling Gwen everything.

Dammit, Leo, it was on the tip of my tongue! No, no, no, listen to me. Believe me, I know Gwen. She would not take this well. I mean, that, that is an understatement. She would absolutely plot. If she finds out you have been lying to her from the very beginning… As have I a little bit. Okay, a lot. Yes, yes, I know she would be horrified, but listen to me, Leo.

There was something that you said in that text earlier that gave me an idea. Fake it until you make it, right? Right. Right. Well, the terms of that damn codice will say that I need a wife to get my inheritance, but never once does it say that it has to be Gwen. It doesn’t have to be Gwen. What, what are you suggesting?

Because polygamy’s been illegal in this country for quite some time now. No, that’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is… What if we found someone to pose as Gwen? It’s not going to be easy. I’m going to have to invent all sorts of corroborating evidence to back it up. But if I can pull this part off, that pompous lawyer will walk out straightening his tie satisfied.

I will get that money and Gwen will be none the wiser. Okay. So, who do you have in mind to impersonate Gwen? Because not only do you have to sell this relationship to the lawyer, it has to be somebody you know for sure will keep their mouth shut. I’m just worried somebody’s gonna try and blackmail you.

Yeah, I know. I know, I know, I know, I know. I need someone that I can trust. That I can trust implicitly.

What about me? Dammit, Gwen? Okay, you

seem really upset. Well, I am upset. Why on earth wouldn’t I be upset? Oh, right. I assume that Dimitri told you everything.

Told me everything? What are you talking about?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sean, please. I need you to call me back. Listen, we don’t have to get into anything, but I need to hear your voice. I need to know you’re okay. He’s just not answering. He’s, I’ve tried texting. I’ve tried calling. I’ve tried tracking his phone and, and he either turned off his tracking or stopped sharing his location with me, but I don’t know where he is.

I’m

sorry about that. I’ve got nothing to say to you.

I’ve got nothing to say to anyone anymore.

Huh? What the,

Hey. Hey. I heard you come in. It’s just finishing up this place. You made the bed. You straightened up. Oh my God, did you dust? Actually, I did. Well, I can’t spend all my time lying around watching Body and Soul.

Oh, thank you, thank you. Okay, hit me dude. Lay some more Body and Soul on me.

Is that who I think it is? Yes, indeed. Lorna DeLorean’s son is back from the dead. Oh, man!

Does this mean you forgive me? I am furious at you for what you did. But I am glad that you’re alive. Yeah, me too. Especially now that I’m back home. In Salem. So, um, what are you going to do? Just take responsibility for what I did. Let the chips fall where they may.

Oh, good to see you Brady. Good to see you. Could you see? I can’t. You’re… You’re alive?

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

Damn it, this is all my fault. Such a stupid plan, right? Bringing Sean to lunch so that I could… Pull a bait and switch and try and get Brady to take him to AA. I don’t even know what I was thinking. You were concerned about him, and you’re trying to be supportive.

I need you to tell me what, what Sean told you in your sessions.

You know I can’t do that. Why not? He’s not your patient anymore. No, but I can’t break confidentiality not without his permission. Mom, if a patient poses an imminent danger to themselves, not only may you break that confidentiality, you have a legal obligation to do so. And all I’m asking you is, does Sean pose an imminent danger to himself?

I can’t say with any certainty, but after I saw him today, I am concerned. Okay. And as my mom, and someone who loves Sean, I am begging you, please tell me what he told you so I can help him. Please. Mom, please, please. I

will. I will. Okay. Uh, come in. Ah. Hello, Sean. Um, I hope I didn’t come at a bad time. Well, look, you know what, I can come back later if you, um, are a little too busy. No, no, no, no, no, no. It’s fine. Um, what can I, uh, what can I do for you? Well, Sean, I’m hoping that you can understand that even though Clint Rawlings just put you in that chair, I’m here to take you out.

I’m giving Ray Fernandez his job back.

Hope you like margaritas. Mmm, who doesn’t? I can get used to this. Mmm, this is so delicious. Where’d you learn to mix a drink? Oh, I used to manage a nightclub. You? Was that surprising to you? Uh, yeah. There’s a lot of things about me that you don’t know. Well, I do love a good mystery. But you think you’ve got me all figured out, don’t you?

I know you got it pretty bad for me. Oh, really? Mm hmm. And what was your first clue there, detective? Hmm? Hmm? Hmm? God, you’re alive. You’re alive. You’re fine. You’re okay, right? You’re okay. I’m fine. I had to be home. I missed all of you. Thank God. We were right the whole time, Chloe. About what? Kristen. Kristen, she was behind it.

Obviously, the whole, the whole freaking time, she went after him to get to me because I left her. Sadistic bitch. My God, where have you been? Did she have you locked in some dungeon somewhere? You know what this means? We, we can, we can, we can appeal the custody ruling, Chloe. I mean, I gotta call Bell because Brady.

No, no, the booze. The, the, the, the, the, the, everything. Everything. The knife. My God! She went after him! You understand if he testifies, then the judge will find out what a nutcase Brady! That Kristen is. It’ll be fun! Brady! Kristen didn’t do it. Yes, she did, Chloe. She, she framed me for murder. No, Brady. I did.

Philip, what are you talking about? Maybe this isn’t the best time. He just said that he, uh, he framed me for murder, so I’d like to hear this. As I just told Chloe, I was jealous. Insanely jealous of the two of you. I thought you were having an affair behind my back. And I had to make you pay, so I came up with a plan.

What plan, Philip? Okay, you have to know, I am deeply ashamed of all of it. I regret it more than I could ever say. Philip! What plan?

You were on the phone outside the pub. I came up behind you and knocked you out. Then I dragged you to the park. I took your credit card out of your wallet and charged a bunch of shots to it. They were just part of the setup. I still had to make it look like you drank them. So, I filled a syringe with alcohol and…

Injected it into your bloodstream. I think that’s enough for now. No. No. Keep going, please. Keep going. I sent those threatening texts from your phone to mine. Then I put you in the back of my car and… drove you to the spot that Chloe and I had planted the tree. Ripped it out of the ground, I dropped your watch there for her to find later.

After that, I dragged you to the riverbank. I took out a knife and cut myself. Wow. I smeared my blood all over the knife, and you. I tracked blood down to the river, I tossed my leg into the water and disappeared.

I framed you Brady, it wasn’t Kristen, it was me.

I know how wrong it was, how, how, how horrifyingly wrong it was. Okay, back then I, I, I was out of my mind, I, I was, I completely lost my grip on reality, I was consumed with anger, I felt humiliated and betrayed. The only thing that I could focus on was punishing you and Chloe for making a fool of me. I

am so profoundly sorry for all of it. I will be sorry for the rest of my life.

I know it’s probably unfair to ask you this,

but can you forgive me?

Why’d you mute that? What, you need to hear the commercial? No, but I see it. I’ve seen it before. It’s for that memory supplement.

Uh, you, uh, you thought it might be a sensitive subject for me. Am I right? Yeah, you’re right. I thought it might be, uh, I don’t know, triggering? Hmm. Well, I don’t know about triggering, but… Except I asked Kayla. And she told me that this supplement that’s on the commercial… Isn’t for amnesia.

I’m sorry, man. I know how frustrated you are. Yeah.

I just don’t know why. Nothing comes back to me. You know, I don’t remember Paulina. Or anything about our life together.

Look, I’m glad Rawlings is gone. You do know that he ordered me to, uh, arrest you for assault after that press conference? Yeah, I told him I wasn’t willing to use the department’s resources to settle his personal matters. Oh, well. I appreciate that. It reinforces what I already know. You are a valued member of the force, which is why I want you to stay on as a detective.

So I’m just gonna, uh, step down as commissioner immediately? Sean, I know, I know this must be disappointing for you, but I think it’s the right call to reinstate Rafe. Mm.

I’m sorry. In advance, that is. What for? Well, you spend all the time making up the bed all nice, and we’re about to mess it up awful. Damn. Why did I waste my time? Well, don’t waste time

now. Talk in the bed. Right. So, my handsome housekeeper, did you learn your lesson? Oh, about making the bed? Yeah. Waste of time. Total. So how about now we take a short break and get some sustenance? Get a burger and beer downstairs? Sounds good. But first… First? How about we try and make it bad just, uh… A little bit messier.

Is that possible? It’s worth a try.

Well, if they had to break into our show, at least it was to give us the good news that we have a new mayor. And a wonderful one at that. Yes, yes, yes. And if Mayor Paulina Price can… Undo the damage that jerk Clint Rawlings did. Once he’s in the rear view mirror, Well, I wouldn’t be surprised at Whatever that woman could do.

Yeah. Sounds like you have a lot of faith in your wife. Same as she has in you. Hey, She really loves you. Yeah. I can see that in everything she does. You know, it just… It kills me. That I don’t remember how much I love her. Yeah. Listen, man. I know you came here because you needed space from Paulina. But I think maybe it’s time the two of you got close again.

Paulina, I agree with you. Rafe should be running the department. Oh, show him. I truly appreciate how classy you’re being in all of this. Um, and now I’m gonna go find Rafe and tell him that you graciously agreed to step down and fully support his return. Uh, you, you sure you’re okay? Uh, yeah, no, I’m, I’m, like, I’m fine.

You seem a bit unsettled. No, I’m fine. And for the record, I, uh, I think you’re gonna make a very, very great mayor. Thank you. You take care now.

But after Sean got suspended, he came to you voluntarily, and I thought that he was making real progress. He was. But he’s decided that talking isn’t going to help anymore. It won’t help Beau, and it, and it won’t bring back Victor. Well, that just sounds like he’s giving up. Well, he’s hitting rock bottom, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

It’s what Sean, It’s what everybody has to do before they decide to make things right. And what if he doesn’t decide to do that? What if he just keeps spiraling? Well, he’s not really in a position right now to do much. I mean, he’s, he’s drinking an awful lot. He’s full of guilt and grief. Yeah, I know. I don’t know if, if Sean told you this, but the last time that Sean and Victor talked, Victor was very hard on him.

There was no understanding, no forgiveness. And that’s why he can’t forgive himself. And that’s why he’s in so much pain. I know. And I am terrified of what he might do. To get rid of that pain.

Can I forgive you? There’s your answer, Phillip. Here, come on. Why don’t you get up? Get up so I can I could have gone to jail!

Do you understand you could have killed me by putting what alcohol you, you, injected it into my veins? He wasn’t in his right mind, he just told you that. Where have you been? Have you been on some beach, like, just laughing your ass off about how my life was almost ruined? I was in a mental institution in Europe trying my damndest to get well.

And I have! I’m better now. Ah. But I still feel horrible about what I did. And I’m committed to doing whatever it takes to make amends. I know it won’t be easy. But I want to find a way, have to find a way, to make this right. Or I can’t go on.

Oh, man. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who are you calling? The police, Chloe, because this bastard’s ass is going to jail. Brady,

you can’t call the police. Why not? Come on, he’s guilty of like, what, 12 crimes? He needs to be arrested. He was mentally ill. Then he’ll go to Bayview. I don’t give a crap. As long as he’s locked up somewhere, that’s fine with me. Oh my god, can you have some compassion in this moment? Philip just lost his father.

It’s the only reason he came back to Salem. No, you mean the only reason that he slithered out of his hole. You know what, man? You are one vindictive, psychotic dude. You’re also a coward, and your father would love to know what you did. He’d be so proud. He did know. Sorry, what? My parents were the ones who sent me to Europe.

They knew how much I needed help. Oh my god. Hold on, you’re trying to tell me that mommy and daddy fixed this for you, Philip? Wow! Kate, Kate, I can understand. You want me to believe that my grandfather was okay with me going to prison for a murder that I had nothing to do with? No! They wanted to help both of us.

That’s why they revoked the paperwork they signed having me declared legally dead. Without a body, Trask had no choice but to drop the charges against you. Mmm, yeah, that wraps it up in a nice little red bow, doesn’t it? Do you know the agony that this woman went through not knowing whether you were dead or alive?

Do you know I was drowning in guilt about the fact that Kristen probably kidnapped you? I had Steve Johnson, I hired him to investigate where the hell you were Yeah, and that’s exactly why Kate didn’t want me to go on with the investigation anymore. Because she wasn’t worried about you, was she? Because she knew you were alive.

She was just trying to protect her son. Yeah, yeah. Meanwhile, Kristen had, had, uh, Stephen Cale on some godforsaken island where they could have died. You know, you gotta go down, Philip. You gotta pay for all this. Not only for what you did to me, but for what you did to everybody. Brady, stop! Victor didn’t want his son to go to prison!

Victor won’t know now! Victor was still your grandfather. And I know you two had issues, but I also know that you loved him. And more than anything in this world, he wanted peace. For that family. You heard Philip, he wants to make things right. So, in Victor’s memory, please. Please just let him try.

There you go again. Pressuring me about Paulina. I’m sorry, man. I didn’t mean to do that. But… Let me ask you a question. Are you attracted to her? Well, how could I not be? I mean, she’s, she’s intelligent, she’s strong, she’s beautiful. Just because I’m attracted to her doesn’t mean that I want to share a bed with her.

No one’s saying you need to do that. In fact, I think you’re getting a little ahead of yourself. You ought to pump the brakes. Meaning what? Well, Instead of thinking about sleeping with your wife, maybe it’s time you started thinking about, you know, going back to the beginning. Starting over again.

This is pretty great, huh? Burger? No. This. You know what you and I have going on. I know it’s still new. Great! Good, good. I found you. Sorry to interrupt your dinner. That’s fine. So, uh, what can I do for Salem’s new mayor? You can go back to being Salem’s old police commissioner. If

only Sean would talk to me. Or you. He just keeps pushing us away because he’s beating himself up and he’s… You know what? I’m gonna, I’m gonna go to the police station and try and get some help. They all care about him there, right? Yeah, they’ll be discreet.

Shawn.

My God. We’ve been so worried about you. I’m sorry. I just, um, I don’t want anybody else to worry about me anymore. I, uh, I need

you to take this away from me. Because I’m not. Listen, Mom, I’m not in a good place right now. I know. It’s okay. Sean, were you thinking about hurting yourself? I, I just, I don’t know. I don’t need help

right now. And I know that I’ve said that before, but… It’s alright. There’s no shame in asking for help. No matter how many times you do it. Yeah, she’s right. Honey, we’re gonna help you. We are, I promise. I got you.

Brady, I’m begging you. Please don’t do this. The Kiriakis family is mourning. Think about what this will do to them. Just think about Maggie. I mean, come on, what do you say? Are you gonna have Phillip arrested?

I dunno. I’m gonna have to think about it.

Thank you. Well, he’s still in shock in time. He’ll realize you’re not responsible for what you did when you were sick. Well, even if he does, which I doubt now that I’m back, the truth is going to come out and I’m going to need a lawyer. Well, I’ll call be.

Belle is Brady’s lawyer, and his sister. Yeah, but she’s also your friend.

Sean, I’d like to put you on a 24 hour hold so we can assess you and figure out the next step. I would feel a lot better if you’d agree to that. Oh, I mean whatever you think is best. Doesn’t have to happen right this minute, we could, we could talk for a while. Listen, look at me. We’re in this together.

We’ll get through it together.

Look, um, I’m sorry I let you down. You did not let me down, Amy. I am so proud of you, that you came here and you asked for help. Okay, we’re gonna be okay. Everything is gonna be okay.

But, um, Sean was just appointed commissioner. And I just came from telling him he’s out. You fired him? Well, just demoted him, but he’s going to stay on as a detective. So, uh, will you accept the job? You are aware of… Yeah, the one that prohibits superiors from dating their subordinates. Well, first of all, I don’t want to hear you or any other woman refer to herself as a subordinate.

Not on my watch. Yes, Madam Mayor. Oh, let me be clear. My. Administration will have zero tolerance for anyone who abuses the power of their position, but consenting colleagues who want to date, well, as long as their personal lives don’t interfere with their professional duties, I have no problem with it.

And the city council won’t either. I’m going to tell him that. Oh, you are? Yes, this blanket policy we have with all of this. We need to start handling relationships on a case by case basis. Well, that’s great. But I think I’m going to hold off on making a decision until the policy’s been amended. You don’t want your job back?

No, no, no. Don’t get me wrong. I love being a cop, being commissioner. Really enjoying hanging out with Jada right now.

I can see that. So, uh, I guess I better hurry up and get that policy changed. Cause we need you back in charge. Pronto.

Hey, Steve. I appreciate you trying to help, but… I don’t think you can since you have no idea what this… What this is like. Actually, I do. You had amnesia? Yeah. I did. Courtesy of the DiMeras, of course.

I’ll give you the short version.

It’s, uh, a little more than 15 years ago. My brother, Jack, brought me back to town, and Kayla thought I was dead, so she was ecstatic, until she found out I had no memory of her or our life together.

You know, my reaction was… It’s like yours. I thought, how can I be her husband when I have no idea who she is? Kayla.

She wouldn’t give up. And eventually, something in me, something in my heart, let me know that this woman was my destiny. So, I did my damnedest to get those memories back. And to feel her love again. The love I had for her. The rest is history.

You think that could happen for me? I think it’s possible. If you start spending time with Paulina again, you don’t have to move back in with her right away. Just take her out to dinner. Get to know her. Talk to her. Maybe you’ll remember. Maybe you won’t. Either way, I bet you money. You’ll fall in love with your wife all over again.

I think you should take it the last buy to buy. Sure. Hey, hey. No, no, that’s mine. What? No, you. No. I meant that you should take the police commissioner’s job. Oh. Then we have to stop seeing each other just until the policy changes. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. So does messing up the bed. And believe me, I enjoy that.

I do. But, you know, Paulina’s right. The city needs you in charge. And besides, you love that job. Yeah.

Well, I’m not sure I want to go back to the department. But there is one thing that I am sure of. What’s that? That I’m falling in love with you.

Well, hey, Paulina. Abraham. Um, I just wanted to let you know that, um, I asked Ray Fernandez to take his job back. And he’s considering it. That’s great. That’s great. Well, um, Thank you. Thank you for letting me know. Of course. Have a good night. Uh, Paulina, um, Yes? Wait, wait, um, I was, I was wondering if, uh, perhaps, you would like to go on a date with me.

A date? Yeah, I mean, you know, if you’re too busy with your job, I, I, I think I could make some time.

Um, I’m sorry about my behavior earlier. You don’t have to apologize. Listen, all you’ve been trying to do is to help me, and speaking to you the way that I did, and walking out the way that I did, it was, like, it was wrong. And, and quitting therapy, that was, uh, that was a big mistake. So, um, I’m ready to get started again.

As long as you are. Okay. First, I want to tell you that you’ll be my patient. I will do everything that I can to help you. And secondly, I want to remind you that you are my family. And I love you beyond words.

Okay, I love you too, Marlena.

Hi. Hi. Thanks for coming by. Yeah, well, I got your message. You said you needed a lawyer. What’s going on? Yeah, not for me. Oh. For Xander? No. Not Xander. Then who? See for yourself.

Oh,

my God. You’re alive.

Oh, my God. I’m so happy to see you. I hope you still feel that way after you hear what I’ve done.

Sean? Sean, I need to talk to

you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Thank you so much for agreeing to do this. I know you have a lot. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I didn’t agree to do anything. Brady, you said… I said that I would meet you here. But I think we need to talk about this before you have time to talk, Brady, okay? Sean is falling apart in front of me. Last night, he got so drunk.

He drank himself into a stupor and got so sick that I did not know if I needed to call Hey. Um, hey. Uh, what’s he doing here? I thought we were having lunch. Um, Brady is on his way to an AA meeting and he offered to take you with him. No, no, no. No, and I think that you need to go. Sean, you have to go.

What did you want to tell me? Look, I, I know that you came to see my mom. And I’m really sorry that I interrupted your visit. I just, I need to… Need to what? My, my mom made me see that I need to be honest with you. Honest about what?

About me and Rex.

Rex, it’s you! Who’d you think I’d be? Well, your father said that my son was home and I was afraid that it might be Phillip.

Oh my god. Phillip?

Chloe? No, no, this can’t be real. It can’t. It’s real. Touch me.

I’m alive. And I’ve come back to you. Like sand through the

hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

I just wanted to come by and, uh, see how you’re doing. Oh, well, I’m fine. A little behind on my work, as you can plainly see, but… Oh, I assume that Roman told you that we’ve decided the best way to help Eric is to accept Sloan into the family. Which is my own… Personal idea of hell, but… Anyway, in addition to all this work, I volunteered to give the baby shower.

No, no. What? What’s the matter? You’ve been at Bayview, so Roman didn’t get a chance to talk to you. You don’t know what? I

don’t… I don’t understand. You thought Phillip was coming back? I had to call him about Victor. Oh, okay, right. So he wants to be here for the funeral. He’s such a mess. He’s such a mess on the phone. You know that he and Victor had such a complicated relationship. Victor only had complicated relationships.

So, his father dies, and he never even gets to say goodbye. Oh, that’s so awful. For the both of you. Yeah. Anyway, he told me that he was coming home. That he had to come home. And I pleaded with him, I begged him not to do that. And he finally agreed not to, but I don’t know if he was actually just trying to get me off the phone.

Because in all honesty, I never know if I’m getting through to him. I never know. If he does come home. Everyone will know he’s alive. And that’s just for starters. The funeral. Oh my god, if Brady sees him. Yeah, and if Brady doesn’t kill him, he’ll end up in prison. So for Phillip’s sake, let’s hope you got through to him.

I know, I know. I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just, I wanted to see you alone. Before. Before. Before whatever happens, happens. I don’t, I don’t understand. You’re, you’re alive? That I am. But where have you been this whole time? I mean, are you hurt? What about your leg?

Good as new. Physically. But you were being held hostage. How did, how did you get away? Did they hurt you? Chloe, I wasn’t held hostage. It was a lie. One out of a whole lot of lies. And the truth? The truth is, I’ve been in Europe. In a mental institution. What? I was out of my mind with jealousy. Chloe, literally out of my mind.

Back then, I felt if I couldn’t have you, I had to make sure Brady couldn’t. So I faked my own death and framed Brady for my murder.

Wow. A direct order. I’ll go directly to AA. Do not pass go and do not collect 200. Maybe I, I said it wrong. Okay, whatever happened, go ahead and drink yourself into oblivion and I’ll be there right by your side. Well, you might not remember this, but I was there right by your side watching you get sick all night and not knowing whether I needed to call an ambulance or wondering if you listening to this, Brady?

You getting all the juicy details here? Huh? Sean, listen. It is killing me watching you do this to yourself. I love you. I just don’t want to lose you. The only way you’re going to lose me is if you keep trying to run my life. Look, you know what, and thank you very much for the invite, but I don’t need AA.

It’s not like all those meetings have done you any good. Your life is a hot mess. No, and if you’re thinking about sticking Maggie after me, then don’t even bother. Don’t. You know what, because I’m done. I’m done with all of this. No, wait, Sean, Sean, wait! Belle,

Belle,

hey! Let him go. Let him go. What about you and Rex? The

truth is…

What is it? What’s wrong? Nothing. It’s just a little cramp. It happens. It’s fine. Are you sure? Maybe you should sit down. Should I get you some water? I’m not sick! I’m pregnant! Oh my god! Sarah, this doesn’t seem like just a little cramp to me. Wait. Do you think you might be in labor?

Oh my goodness. Slow and last the baby. I’m so sorry. I, I really thought you knew. No. No, uh, no, I didn’t. And, and of course, you wouldn’t have said it otherwise. I’ve

got to find Eric. No, no. Can you just give that a second? You know, Sloan has some tests that she’s having done now, and there may be complications, and Eric is with her, and I, I think that she really, she needs him. Right now. Of course she does, I’ll, I’ll wait a while. Oh, my gosh. How much does he have to go through?

I know. Oh, Sean. Hi. Come in. Hey, uh, Kayla. Hi. Um, Elena, can I talk to you?

Brady, I’m sorry. Sean’s just been a wreck since he found out what happened to Victor. Well, when a drunk wants a drink, there’s always an excuse. Please don’t call him that. I’m sorry, but that’s, that’s, that’s what he is right now. He doesn’t need you, he doesn’t need me, he doesn’t need anyone feeling sorry for him because he’s taking care of that himself.

Um,

I’m just telling you what Maggie has told me over the years. I’ve been where Sean is, and if he wants to make a change, until it’s his decision, there is nothing you can do, sis. Except be strong for yourself. God, I hate that I know you’re right. Babe. It’s ironic, though. It’s ironic? Yeah, today you’re telling me I can’t will Sean into doing something I want him to do, and I was just telling you that about Chloe last night.

Oh, you were. Touché, touché. I guess we’re in the same boat. I think Chloe, Mary, and Xander is about as self destructive as Sean’s drinking. You can’t talk to Sean and I can’t talk to Chloe. You know, I, I told Chloe that the reason that Xander is proposing to her is because he can’t have Sarah. Ooh. Bet that went over well.

Yeah, but she knows it as well as I do.

She basically told me she doesn’t care about, she said she’s ready to marry Xander because she can’t have me because of Rachel and she can’t be with Philip because Philip is dead. We don’t know that for sure, do we?

You did what? Chloe, I am so sorry. Sorry? You’re sorry? Sorry doesn’t quite catch it, Philip. You put us through hell, and then you let us believe that you were dead? We warned you! We were sick with grief and worry! Brady was arrested! Oh, oh my god! What you did to Brady! He could have died from the amount of alcohol that you poured into him!

And do you have any idea what his life was like when everyone thought that he had murdered you? I know what I did, Chloe. I have been over and over and over what I did. There were days in therapy I thought I’d rather die than face what I had done to the people I love. Only now I see, if Mom and Dad hadn’t put me in that sanatorium, I would have gone on my own.

Wait, wait a minute! I’m, I’m sorry, but… Kate and Victor knew that you were alive this whole time and they let us think that you were dead? Victor let his grandson go to jail! He made sure Brady was released. Oh, how big of him. I can’t believe this. Chloe. No! No, stay away from me. How do I know you’re not still crazy and they just let you out of there because your father’s dead?

Chloe, they let me out a while ago. Oh, wow. Okay, so, you’ve been free and you let us think that you were dead? I couldn’t come home or they’re… Or what? You’d have to pay for what you’ve done? Suffer some consequences? Oh God forbid Philip Kiriakis ever pays for what he’s done. That’s what mommy and daddy are for, right?

You’re right. That’s been true for my entire life. Till now. Now, no matter what the price, I had to come home for my dad.

And to see you.

So, I had a conversation with Chloe. And here we go. She told me that you and Sarah, um, are together again. Did she now? Mm hmm. Yeah. And I assumed it was true, even though you hadn’t said a word about it to your father or me. You know, maybe, given their history, you know, Rex might have wanted to just kind of wait and see if the relationship got more serious before he said something.

And, actually, it is quite serious. I was about to tell you that. Sarah and I are getting married.

I am not in labor.

You’re holding your lower back, and you’re flushed. I don’t have a fever! Okay? I am the doctor here. It’s my body, and I am telling you, for the last time, I am not in love! Sarah, come on. No! I’m taking you to the hospital. Come on, no more arguing. I am not arguing! Look,

I’m, uh, I’m sorry the door was unlocked. No, no, no, it’s okay. I was just leaving anyway. Um, and I’m sorry about Victor. I can’t imagine a world without him in it. Um, I’ll let you know when Sloan’s done with her tests. Thanks, Kayla. Bye.

Did I make a mistake or is our appointment tomorrow? Um, yeah. It, uh, it was. Um, I’m here to cancel. Oh. Okay. Well, you, you, you could have called for that? Unless you wanted to talk to me in person? Yeah. I mean, yeah, I guess. Alright. You want to have a seat? Uh, no, no. You know what? Actually, actually, you know what?

I should probably get going. I… Okay, well, then do you want to reschedule? Uh, no. Look, the reason why I came here is because I wanted to tell you in person that I’m quitting therapy. For good.

Okay, it’s coming in? Yeah. Sure. How’s your pain? It’s much better. Good. So where’s the doctor? Right here. Sorry. Hi, Kayla. Oh, that’s all right. Hi. I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long. No, we just got here. Oh, good. So, uh, what can we do for you? I was so surprised to see your name on the chart. Uh, yeah, I was, I was visiting my mom.

Ah, of course. I was planning to go see her today myself. And Xander, I’m sorry about your uncle. Thanks. Um, yeah. Let me just take your pulse real quick. Oh, your pulse is steady. I’m sorry, I didn’t even know that you were pregnant, so congratulations, you two. Actually… Yeah, I’m not the father. It’s actually your nephew, Rex.

Oh. Oh. Wow. Um, I understand you are having contractions. Are they regular? Um, how far apart? Uh, no, they’re not regular. Uh, very painful and, and close together. Although, I think they’re subsiding. Okay. Uh, looks like your blood pressure is a little elevated. Wait, my blood pressure has been normal throughout the entire pregnancy, so I just think…

Xander’s nerves are contagious. Well, you are in good hands here. We’re going to take good care of you and your baby. Um, so, um, how many weeks are you?

Sarah! Xander, why don’t you wait outside? Is she alright? Yeah, yeah, you go ahead and wait outside, okay? I’ll take good care of her. And the baby. Go on. It’s okay. It’s okay. Alright. Of course. It’s okay. It’s okay.

How’s the pain? It’s gone. Oh. So, um, how many weeks are you?

Look, I know you care about Philip, alright, but it’s been two years. I think if he were alive, he would have shown up by now. I know you’re right. You know, it really was weird when dad called to tell me what happened with Victor. I just kept thinking about how hard it would be on Sean and you and Phillip.

And then I realized that I just have never… Really accepted that he’s actually gone. I don’t know if I ever will.

When I got out of the bin, It looked like a villa. Trust me, it was the bin. I wasn’t a threat anymore. I wouldn’t hurt anyone. But I also wasn’t really alive. It was only then that it started to sink in what I had done.

I lost my father before he died. Because I stopped being Philip, his son, who loved him and hated him and everything in between. And somewhere along the line, I stopped being Philip who loved you. And became Philip who wanted to own you.

I’ll never have a chance to prove to my father that this is true. Phillip is alive again, but I’d like to try to prove to you. Phillip, don’t. No, no, I’m not gonna try to win you back, Chloe. I, I just want you to know that the Phillip who got to know a goth girl

and discovered she was the coolest person he’d ever met,

he’s back.

I’m sorry, did you just say that you and Sarah are… Yes, I proposed to her and last night she said yes. You were in town last night? No, no, no. She was over the phone. Oh. Oh, that’s romantic. You know what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Anyway, I caught an early flight so I figured I’d surprise her and pick up her favorite scone on my way to the mansion.

Oh, okay. Blueberry. Yep. You got it. Okay. Thanks. Alright. Obviously on the house. Congratulations. Much appreciated. I’ll see you soon. Wait, wait, wait. Are you sure you’re not kind of doing this too fast? I mean like rushing this marriage? Are you rushing this marriage? I am. Yeah. And why wouldn’t I? Sarah’s pregnant with my kid.

I told you I’m not in labor. It’s just Braxton Hicks. Are you sure? Yes, um, she’s not dilated. There’s no bleeding or amniotic fluid. The contractions were irregular and they’ve stopped. But how can you be so sure that they won’t start up again? Well, I can’t really be sure, but if they start again, she can come back.

You’re sending her home? Well, first I want to give her some fluid. She’s a bit dehydrated. Um, I’m gonna go get a nurse to start your OVU, okay? I’ll be back soon. Okay, and you’re gonna be out of here lickety split. Kayla, thank you. Of course.

Thank you. Thank you for bringing me. Kayla was very reassuring. Good, I mean, you’ve got enough to worry about already. But, earlier on, you said you had something to tell me before you didn’t go into labor. Was that about you and Rex?

Uh, well, well, um, okay. Guess we are gonna be grandparents again after all. Wonder, wonder when Sarah’s due. Yeah, he didn’t give us much time for questions, did he? I mean, he walked out that door a millisecond after he said pregnant. He didn’t even break stride. Eric loses a baby and now, uh, Rex is telling us Sarah’s pregnant.

I didn’t believe it. No, I can’t believe it either. I just hope we’re not in for any more surprises.

I’ve been thinking a lot about you lately. Especially since Victor died. And I am glad that you’re alive. But there’s something that you should know. I’m engaged.

Well, that’s not surprising. You and Brady always did seem to find your way back to each other. I’m not engaged to Brady.

No? No. I’m engaged to your cousin, Xander.

I, I don’t know how to say this, I’m just gonna say it. Hey, you okay? Edison said you’d gone to the hospital. Is it the baby? What’s up? No, no. No, we’re, we’re both fine. It was just, it was just Brooks and Hicks. Good, okay. What’s he doing here? Um, he came to visit my mom, uh, when the contractions started. He’s the one that took me to the hospital.

Thank you. No problem. Uh, you allowed to eat? Bless you. Yes. Thanks for staying put there, kid. Mom and I are old fashioned. We have to get married before you make an appearance. Wait, what?

I’m sorry. This is all too crazy. I mean, I talked to Rex at least once or twice a week. He never, he barely mentioned Sarah, much less say that she’s pregnant with his child. Maybe he thought you might interfere. Of course, that would be totally out of character for you, right? Okay. I don’t interfere. I gently guide.

And we both know that he’s been pining away after her for ages. Despite their little issues. Well, that’s a nice way of saying he cheated on her. Yeah, but they got past it, right? Both doctors, they’re compatible, mature. It looks so good on paper, doesn’t it? And what are you worried about? Well, I’m not worried about him.

I, I have no doubt at all that he’s head over heels in love with Sarah. But I have great doubts that that feeling is reciprocated by her. You’re marrying this guy? That’s what I was gonna tell you before he, he came in. I, I just didn’t want you to find out from someone else. Right! I mean, that’s great.

Congratulations, mate. I know how happy I was when Chloe finally accepted my proposal last night. She did? Yeah, you don’t act quite so surprised. Well, I just didn’t know that Chloe took leave of her senses. Such a funny guy. You’re just gonna be laughing all the time.

Rex and I are very happy for you and Chloe. Oh, so we’re just gonna act like grown ups now. I see. Chloe and I are very happy for both of you as well. Wow. So we’re all getting married. What are the chances? Before you ask, we’re not gonna have a double wedding, if that’s okay. And I was so hoping for that.

Look, man, if you just want to shove off, I can totally take it from here.

Thank you. For being there for me today. Of course. I’m just glad all is well with you and the baby.

God,

a jerk.

Sean. I think leaving therapy is not a good idea right now. You’ve made so much progress, really, then. Okay. Then tell me then why is it The first thing that I did when I found out about Victor was go and get drunk outta my mind. Well, that should tell you how much you need therapy. No, no, Marlene, it tells me…

No, it tells me that I’m sick and tired of coming in here and just talking about my miserable life, because, I mean, it’s bad enough just living it. I think there’s some very good things about your life. Okay, but then why is it that the bad things, they keep winning out right now? Well, I’m not sure that’s true.

God, it’s… You sound exactly like Belle. What does that mean? She thinks that this is fixable. She wanted me to come in here and talk to you, and I did. And now she wants Brady, she wants Brady to take me to AA. But, Marlena, I’m not an alcoholic. Well, you don’t have to be an alcoholic to need help. This is not fixable.

I put my father in a coma, and I put my grandfather in a grave. Can you tell me, can you fix this? Can you? No. No, I didn’t think so.

Anything from Sean? No, I just hope he went to work. Gal in the state he’s in, maybe it’s best if he didn’t. He’s just really angry at me. I know. Why is it we always hurt and treat the people we love? The worst. Because we know that they will love us back no matter what. You know, Chloe does love you. You know that, right?

I

hurt her. I hurt her badly. And I have no right to keep her away from Xander, do I? No, you don’t. If you try and tell her how to live her life, she’s gonna do her damnedest to prove me wrong. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, you just need to suck it up. You need to apologize. Tell her that you’re happy that she’s marrying Xander.

That’s what I did. Eventually, anyway. Listen, I know it’s hard. It was hard for me too, but when all of this goes south, and it will, she’s gonna need her friends. And preaching to her obviously doesn’t help anything.

You’re right, Belle. Yeah. I know what you need to do.

So, you’re not engaged to Brady. You’re engaged to Xander. Yeah, that’s what I just said. I mean, originally, we just decided to get an apartment together and then we got close. Okay, that’s a little hard to process after everything he did to you. He is not the same person that he was back then. I mean, none of us are.

True.

And Chloe, I just… I want you to be happy, no matter who it’s with.

I should go. Phillip, wait. What is it?

Hey

mom, can I come in? Yes, hi. Hi. Hi, are you okay? Uh,

I just left Eric. Sloane lost the baby. What? Oh no. Should I go see him? No, um. I think just give him some time. How are you? Uh, I’m not good. I, uh, I’m really worried about Sean. And I, I was just trying to get through to him, I was trying to help him, and I think I pushed him too far. And I’m really, Mom, I’m really worried what he might do.

You doing okay? Really? Yeah, I honestly just think it was the stress. From seeing Xander? My mom ripping into me about not telling him about the baby. And when Xander showed up, I was on the verge of telling him. Really? Yeah. And then these pains started happening. You decided not to. No, not then. I was actually on the verge of telling him again a second time when you walked in.

And

then I just figured that fate interrupted me twice. And I probably should just stick with the original story. I agreed to marry you. Hmm. It’s the perfect cover story for Xander.

Sarah, are you sure that you want to go through with this? Only if you do. I do. I have something else for you. Not exactly the most romantic setting.

Rags.

You have no idea what this means to me. That you’re willing to do this. You know, tonight, Sandra being so concerned about me and the baby, it just, it’s easy to forget that he is controlling and dangerous and someone that I don’t want anywhere near this baby. Thank you. Thank you for helping me. Make sure that Xander never ever knows that he’s the father of this child.

Does this mean you forgive me? I am furious at you for what you did. But I’m also really glad that you’re alive. Yeah, me too. Especially now that I’m back home. In Salem. And I know my mother thinks it’s a mistake for me to be here. She told me in no uncertain terms not to come to my dad’s funeral. But, I can’t spend the rest of my life hiding.

So what are you gonna do? Take responsibility for what I did. Let the chips fall where they may.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hi.

Hi. How are you doing? Uh, you know,

people’s cards, they, they really help. This one’s this. Um, Victor kept me laughing for 30 years. It’s from his barber. And Victor is, he was definitely funny. Yeah, a lot of people said nice things about him. It’s because of you. No. You were the best thing that ever happened to him. I think that people just probably figured, if you saw the good in him, that it must be there.

Xander said that I was the one thing that he and Victor had in common. That I brought them back together. At least for a while. That Xander called? Uh, no, I got a text. He’s, um, he’s planning on coming over later, so… Since I know you don’t want to see him, I… Um… Actually, I I already did. Oh. Oh, hey!

What is in that pot on the stove? I could smell it as soon as I got off the elevator. That is our engagement lunch. Oh, how sweet. I bet none of your other bows ever made haggis for you, did they? Haggis? My mom taught me how. She’ll need to make it on special occasions. Okay, then Haggis, it is, but before we eat, there’s something that I need to tell you.

Oh, the look on your face, it must be something pretty serious. It is. It could change our whole future.

I’m sorry if I jumped all over you about the baby shower. It was, uh, really nice of you and mom to think of it. Seems like I called you about our… Brainstorm at the worst possible time. I’ll tell Sloan that you wanted to do it. It’ll… It’ll mean a lot to her. Is there anything I can do for you to do?

Anything at all?

If I, uh, if I think of it, I’ll let you know. I… I have to go, uh… I should be with Sloane. Okay, well please tell her how sorry Marlene and I both are. I will. Oh my

god. Sounds like

Sloane lost the baby. I had so many plans for Eric and me and… Our baby.

Now it’s just gonna be Eric and me. He and I… We have to start over with a clean slate. No secrets. I’ve made up my mind, Melinda. I’m gonna tell him that he’s the father of Nicole’s baby. I guess it didn’t register with you the first time, so I’ll say it again. And I hope this time you will actually hear me.

Telling Eric that Nicole is carrying his child is a terrible idea.

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

I didn’t know you had seen Xander. How did that happen? Uh, he came by yesterday to see you and ran into me and got waylaid. Mm. I can only imagine. Yeah. He was very shocked by how pregnant I am. Mm. So, what did you tell him? What? What do you think I told him? I lied through my teeth. You have something to tell me that’s going to affect our whole future.

Chloe, you’re not breaking off the engagement, are you? You can’t do that. Come on, we’re fantastic together. I know it’s been a whirlwind, but look, if this is about my past, I’ve learned my lesson from losing Sarah. I’m gonna be the best husband you could ever want. Okay, stop. No, no, I am not breaking the engagement.

You’re not. No, but… You may want to. What?

I just found out that Sarah is pregnant. Oh. Yeah. Who told you that? Henderson. I just saw him at the grocery store. Wait, Henderson was at a grocery store? Yeah, it was weird. I’ve never seen that man out of uniform. Oh, he must have been getting the food for the buffet after the funeral. I mean, if anyone would know what Victor would have wanted…

Okay, why are we talking about Henderson and not Sarah? I thought you would be shocked. I was. When I find out. Yesterday. I already knew.

I really have to go. Dad, I’ll stop in later in the week and, uh, talk. Yeah, you go be with Sloane. And son, I know how much you wanted this baby and I just… I am so damn sorry. Yeah. Me too. Thanks for calling.

Hi.

I’m sorry, I, I, I… I couldn’t help but hear what you were talking about. Sounds like someone lost a baby?

Yeah. I’m

sorry.

I’m so sorry.

Of course you don’t want me to tell Eric about Nicole’s baby, because if I do, then you’ll have nothing to hold over my head. And you’ll have to nail Lee on your own. I’ll get him another way. Why the hell do you care what I tell Eric? Don’t tell me you got a soft spot for EJ. Like you’re so worried about this poor guy being disappointed.

I couldn’t care less what happens to EJ and Mira. You may not believe this, but I am speaking to you as your friend. This clean slate that you want, it could blow up in your face. If Eric and Nicole share this child, he may decide that he wants them to be a family. Meaning you could lose Eric forever.

I assume you told Xander that the baby is Rex’s. Yeah, of course I did. It’s, it’s simple, it makes sense. So, how does Rex feel about this? He’s, he’s fine with it. He’s more than fine with it. He’s crazy about the idea, actually. He’s crazy about me. He wants to marry me.

So, you already knew that Sarah was pregnant. And when did you find out? Last night, when I went over to the mansion to see Maggie, I, I ran into Sarah and she, yeah, she was very obviously with Charlotte. And then you came back here, and I accepted your proposal without knowing about Sarah. Why would you not tell me?!

Why would you not tell me she’s pregnant? You want me to keep quiet about Nicole’s baby being Eric’s, and you expect me to believe that you’re doing this for me? Hey, fellow lawyer, let’s um, imagine we’re in a courtroom, okay? You never ask a Witness a question that you don’t know the answer to. Isn’t that right?

You know damn well it is. And yet you think you can give this huge news to Eric and it’ll all be fine? Yeah. Because you don’t know how close we’ve grown. He took my side over his entire family’s because he believes I’m a good person and he loves me. Yeah, well he still thinks that when he knows what you did.

Yes! He will. He will forgive me. Sloane, when we’ve argued about this before, you said that it would be okay if he knew about Nicole’s baby because you were carrying his baby too. That’s not true anymore. Stop. Enough. Just leave me alone, Malika. Not until I get through to you, dammit! You said that this baby you just miscarried would bond you and Eric for life.

Right? Right?! Yes, I did. And now the only one who’s caring Eric’s baby is Nicole. I rest my case.

Hey, Private Roberts Brady reporting for duty. What’s in the bag? Well, everything you need for the baby’s shower. There’s pink and blue crepe paper, there’s a centerpiece, there’s also a pad with those stupid word games. Look, Kate. Look, I know. I know, I wasn’t a big fan of Sloane’s either, but I talked to Marlena and she told me that the two of you wanted to give her a baby shower, kind of smooth things over, and I am a team player, so…

Kate, it’s not going to be a shower. Sloane lost a baby.

This is so sudden. The last time I talked to Sloane, she said everything was great. Yeah, it was. And then Kayla discovered some kind of autoimmune disorder that Sloan had. She didn’t even know she had it. I guess it’s what caused the miscarriage. Kayla also said that, uh,

it would be risky for her to even get pregnant again.

That must have been hard to hear. Especially after what happened.

Wait, you know what? They, they told me that too, and…

Just don’t give up hope.

It’s a little too soon for that.

No. Eric, this is so unfair. I know how much you want a child, and you would make such a wonderful father.

Eric has to be devastated. Yeah, he was definitely blindsided and uh, I was useless on the phone just now. You are never useless. And you’re a wonderful father. And you’re gonna help him through this. We all, we all are. Yeah. By the way, speaking of fathers… You were right. About what? About telling Phillip that his father was dead.

So, I took your advice and I called him. I told him.

I hate it. But you’re

right. If I tell Eric what I’ve done, he’ll never forgive me. And without a baby to think of, there’s no reason he should stay with me. And then you’ll not only be Childless, and that you’ll be seen. But he won’t find out if you just keep your mouth shut.

And if I don’t tell Eric, and I don’t do what it is you want me to do, are you gonna continue threatening me? Of course not. I couldn’t do that to you, not now. So you’re really only thinking of me. Sloan, I didn’t come here as a prosecutor. I came here as your friend. I will not tell a soul what you did and that you’re keeping it from Eric.

I won’t use what I know against you. You being straight with me? Absolutely.

And all my dire predictions aside. I have no crystal ball. So who knows? Even if Eric did know about Nicole’s baby, it might not change a thing. Nicole is engaged to EJ. And, he’s rich, he’s handsome, and they both seem delighted to be having this baby together. So what does she need Eric for?

So are you, you uh, on your way to see your OB? No, actually I’m here to pick up a prescription. Oh, uh, well I, I suppose I should go back to Sloan. Listen, Eric, if, if you ever need someone to talk to, someone who gets it, you, you know where I am.

Thank you. Is

that a, is that an engagement ring?

Are you sure? Rex sincerely wants to marry you. Yes. He told me that losing me was the biggest mistake of his life, and he wants me back. He said that when Xander and I were still together, that he never stopped loving me. Rex is my future, and I am his. I called him last night to accept his proposal, and why are you looking at me like that?

I’m sorry. It’s just Sarah, he had an affair the last time the two of you were engaged. He’s not reliable. When was the last time you even spoke to him? Rex is a changed man and… There’s that look again, so you’re not going to be giving us your blessings. I can’t. Aside from Rex not being reliable, he’s cheated on you, Sarah.

You can’t go into this marriage. When the father of your child doesn’t know the truth. Zander knows that I am pregnant. I told him that it’s Rex’s baby and he totally bought it, so… Well, he bought a lie. Sarah, the baby’s father deserves to be a part of the baby’s life. Why? Why does he deserve anything from me after what he did?

I cannot believe that you are on his side. I’m on your side, too. No, it doesn’t feel that way. Well, you know, maybe, um, that’s because you haven’t given any thought to what it will be like when you have to lie to your child about who his or her father is. Can you really live with that, Sarah? You will not only be deceiving your child about something that’s so important, but what if somehow the truth comes out?

What if it all blows up in your face?

Look, I promise I was going to tell you all about Sarah eventually. I just, it’s just when I came home and you said that you wanted to marry me, you wanted to be my wife, it just, I was over the moon. I was so excited, it was all I could think about. Seriously Chloe, this doesn’t really change anything for us.

Doesn’t change anything? That your ex wife is pregnant with your baby? No, but it’s not. It’s not? No, no, the father’s Rex Brady. Rex Brady?

Are you sure about that?

Mom, I don’t want to fight with you. You are grieving the love of your life. And I know that you want Xander and I to be together and to raise this baby together, and I truly would do anything for you right now, but I just, I can’t, I can’t do that. I just can’t. It’s not a possibility for me, and it’s not a possibility for Xander at this point.

What are you talking about?

He told me he proposed to Chloe Lane, so… Well, I hope she didn’t accept. I mean, how could she not know that he’s on the rebound? You are the only woman for him. And you always will be. The only woman? Xander isn’t capable of that kind of loyalty. The only thing that he is capable of is scamming people. He’s a con artist.

You’re fooling yourself. No, you are fooling yourself into thinking that he’s just some lovely person who made some harmless mistakes. I never said that. I know his mistakes weren’t harmless. And he is deserving of my forgiveness. But you wouldn’t if you heard all the things that he said to me after we broke up.

He was hurt. And he was angry. You both were. And now you’re wasting precious time. Because the two of you are too proud to admit the truth.

You said I lost the love of my life. You’re right. I don’t want you to lose yours.

You’re asking how I know that Sarah’s baby is Rexy’s? I know because Sarah told me. And she couldn’t possibly be lying to you because she wants nothing to do with you. Sarah wouldn’t lie about something like that. What? What’s that look? Henderson told me it looks like Sarah’s in her final trimester. That doesn’t mean it’s mine, Chloe.

Are you sure? She obviously got pregnant before she left Salem. And she slept with Rex before she left Salem. It happened right after she and I split up, apparently. Oh, I didn’t know that. No, no you do. Look, Sarah and Rex are having a baby, and from what Sarah says, they’re really happy. Just like we are. If I haven’t made it abundantly clear, you are the woman that I want to be

with.

Now, let’s tuck into that haggis.

So how did Philip take it? I mean, learning about his father’s death. Like most of us. He thought that Victor would live forever. So he was stunned. And he wants to come back here. What did you say to that? I reminded him that he did absolutely everything to convince people that he was dead and that Brady was the one who killed him.

And I asked him if he was really ready, prepared to face Brady at the funeral. And also, like you said, if he comes back here, he’s very much alive. That is not going to go unnoticed by the police. He needs to grieve for Victor. From a distant, not a jail cell. I know. I know. That’s exactly what I told him.

Did you get through? No. No. Of course not. Because he wants to honor his father, and he doesn’t care about the consequences. Well, he will care when it starts getting real. I know. I mean, I told him that I would, I would try to send him some of Victor’s ashes so he could share in the ceremony. He said that he would consider it.

Alright. Well, hopefully. You’ll realize you’re right. Yeah, hopefully. You know, Kate, When he was setting Brady up, Do you think it ever entered his mind that he would have to leave Salem, forever? No, no, because at that time he was completely obsessed with Chloe. He’s always been obsessed with Chloe. Right. Oh, God, Roman.

I have to tell you, I feel so… So badly about trying to convince him not to come to his father’s funeral. Kate, trust me, you are doing the right thing. Um, EJ

proposed.

And you accepted his proposal? Well, yes, I did. In fact, he’s picking up our marriage license now. You’re already planning the wedding? I mean, it’s not gonna be that big of a deal. It’s probably just gonna be us and the kids. So is it gonna happen soon?

Yes. Yes, it is.

How come you’re so sure that EJ and Nicole are a love match? I never said that they were a love match. And knowing the two of them, it’s probably some business deal. But at the moment, EJ and Nicole are committed to each other. So keeping your mouth shut is the practical thing to do for that reason too.

Yes. Not that I wouldn’t love for EJ to find out that he was played by you. It’s a certain amount of satisfaction knowing that he’ll spend the next 20 years raising another man’s child. Gee, God, you really hate this guy’s guts. No, what I hate is how he wiggles out of paying for all the rotten and illegal things that he’s done.

Luckily, you stepped in where the law failed. He’ll find out about all this someday, and he will suffer in ways that the legal system could only dream of. And you did that. Yeah, good for me. Well, enough about him. I, I came to see you. Look, I am so, so sorry about the baby.

Yeah, well, before I lost,

before I lost the baby, I was about to tell Eric the truth. But you didn’t. Well, I started. You started? What do you mean? How much did you say? I mean, I just said that I had done something that I was afraid would make me lose him. That’s it? Yes, that’s it. And then I had these awful pains.

And that’s when I, um, when I miscarried. Well, I don’t see what the big deal is. He probably has forgotten what you told him just before such a traumatic event happened. It’s not an event, Melinda. I’m sorry, uh, poor choice of words. Something so heartbreaking happened. Yeah. Well, he definitely hasn’t forgotten about it because he asked me about it today.

So if I’ve decided to not tell him about Nicole’s baby, I don’t know what in the hell I’m gonna say instead.

Well, I, uh, I wish you and EJ the best. Thank you. And I hope that you and Sloan can work through this.

Yeah. Yes,

why. But, better go check on her. Of course. Go.

I don’t know how to explain to Eric about what I said. And right now I’m, I’m in no place to come up with a strategy. Luckily for you, I am. What does that mean? That means, I know exactly what you can tell him.

You know, I wonder if Eric would mind if I, uh, showed up at the hospital. No, he, he’s probably been by her side, I mean, since it happened. You could bring him something to eat. Good idea. And by the way, just stay as long as you want, because I will hold down the fort here. You’re the best. I keep telling you that.

You, uh, you can’t eat it, can you? I’m really sorry. I have eaten throughout most of Europe, and I’m realizing that Scottish cuisine is probably not my thing. It is definitely an acquired taste. But lucky for us, you have plenty of time to acquire it. Right. Typical. Tried to do something nice and instead I’ve turned your stomach.

You have not turned my stomach. It’s nice of you to I should finally go and see Maggie. Do not touch these dishes. I’ll clean them when I get home. I will do the dishes and haggis.

You don’t have to. No, I want to. If I’m going to be a Scotsman’s wife, I’m not going to turn my nose up at the national dish. I love you. I love you too.

Mom, I don’t want to argue with you. I know the kind of pain you’re in, grieving the loss of your husband. And I would do absolutely anything to comfort you. I would, but I cannot tell Xander about this baby. Because if I did, we would be tied together forever. And I do not want that. He’s, he’s two different people.

He’s this wonderful, sweet man that I fell in love with. And this scary person who kidnapped Bonnie and Susan. I would never know which Xander I’m going to get and neither would our child. So, I’m marrying Rex.

Do you love Rex the way you loved Xander?

Not yet, but I will. I mean, he will, he will be good to me and the baby and we will be a happy family and Xander and Chloe will be happy. Or he’ll find happiness wherever the hell he finds it, I really don’t care. Okay, well, thank you. Thank you for being honest with me. And if that’s the way it has to be, it is.

Okay, well, you better make yourself scarce. Xander’s on his way here.

Hey Trask. Hello Nicole. You’re looking well. And I probably look pissed off, too, because I am. Whoa, whoa. I know what you’re up to, Melinda. Enlighten me, why don’t you? You tried to tell EJ there’s some reason he shouldn’t marry me. Please, I, I’m… I was just playing with him. Oh yeah, well go play somewhere else because a relationship is none of your business.

When you’re right, you’re right. I apologize. You and EJ are expecting a child together, and of course you want to be married. I hope you have a long and happy life together. No you don’t. You want everyone to be as miserable as you are. Nice chatting with you.

Hey. Sorry I was talking to my dad. How you feeling? Still in any pain? No. No, not really.

You asked me about what I was good. Talked to you about last night. Oh, hey, come on. We… We don’t have to talk about that right now. No, I want to.

What I was about to tell you… Is that… Before anything happened to me with this… I woke up. And I just felt like… Something was off. You know? I didn’t know what, that I could just tell something, something wasn’t right.

But I, I couldn’t face it being true, so I just convinced myself that it was nothing. And I didn’t call my doctor. And that’s when I was about to tell you. And then you started having pain.

Oh God, I should have done something. I should have called my doctor. I should have gone to the emergency room. If I would have, maybe we’d still be pregnant. Oh, no. Hey, you heard Kayla. There’s nothing you could have done to stop what happened.

Oh, God. I mean, we may never have a baby. And it’s all because of me. No. Don’t say that, please. Don’t give up hope. Nicole was told that she could never carry a baby to term, and I just saw her in the hallway, and she said her pregnancy is going beautifully.

What? She also said to tell you that she’s so sorry. That’s really sweet of her. Would you please just hold me? I still can’t believe this. I feel like the ground under me is just…

Crumbled. Another dealing. I really thought that old man would outlive us all. Hmm. I thought I’d be with him. At the end.

Who’s gonna put me in my place now? Give me hell about losing my latest job. And make me work as his gardener. Hmm. You gave as good as you got.

Victor had a, a certain Grudging respect for you. Thank you for saying that. Even if it’s not true. Oh. So. Um, I was just wondering when you and mom are done if we could talk for a few minutes. Um, you can talk now. I’m, I’m going to be leaving. Don’t be a stranger. Wouldn’t think of it. Okay,

so what was it you didn’t say yesterday?

So here’s to you, Victor. There’ll never be another one like you.

Hey, I, I thought you were going to the hospital. I am, but I thought I would let you know who I ran into Outside. Who’s that? Your son.

Philip? Saved by the bell. Why didn’t Philip come in with you? Not Philip. Perfect timing. Keeping me from trying that disgusting slop. Whoever you are, I love you.

Oh my god. Philip?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Slow? Sloane? Hey, hey, Sloane. Oh, Eric. You

okay? It looks like you’re, uh, Oh, the worst. I tripped. We lost the baby.

Sloane, I,

uh, it wasn’t a dream. My baby’s gone. What?

Baby’s gone. Oh.

I’m coming, Mother.

Ava, you’ve got no place to go now but prison. Well, better yet, hell. And once I catch up with you, I get to decide.

No, no, what the hell is she doing? Mother!

Help! Oh, dear God. Oh, God, it can’t be. No. What? What can’t be? It’s her. It’s her. She’s right behind you. It’s Susan Banks. She’s come back from the dead.

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

She’s right there. She’s smiling at me. She’s smiling in angry, terrifying grief. Ava, Ava, shh. It’s okay. It’s okay. The woman you’re seeing is not Susan. Please. Please, please leave me alone. Leave me alone, Susan. I didn’t mean for you to die. She must be off her meds. What’s your name? I’m Mitch. Mitch Waters.

Don’t listen to trick us. You shouldn’t be here. You shouldn’t be here, Susan. You don’t belong, so please just leave. Please, for God’s sake, leave me alone!

Alright, there you go. Nice and strong, just the way you like it. Thanks.

I still can’t believe he’s gone. Yeah, me neither. I was beginning to think he’d outlive all of us.

Don’t tell me you’re mourning the old scoundrel. No, I wouldn’t say that exactly. We did have our issues. Take it down a notch, Marlena. I didn’t do anything to your son. In fact, it was Father Eric doing. Kristen didn’t.

We were a team in this. I’ll split it with you. And you would have had nothing against Kristen if I hadn’t given you that flash drive. If I hadn’t thanked you, my apologies. Your apology will begin to cover what you’ve done. You knew what was on that DVD when you gave it to me. And you knew that if I took that in and put it on the screen, it would destroy my son’s life.

I know he caused a lot of chaos and difficulty in Salem, but… He did make the place more interesting. Oh, ho, ho. That he did. And we’re very close to a lot of people who, who truly loved him. Yeah. Victor and Kate share a son. If anybody knows what kind of lifelong bond that creates, it’s you and me. Yes, we do.

How’s Betty holding up? He’s doing alright. It’s a little more complicated because of what’s going on with Kristen and their daughter. Poor guy. Truly poor guy. And Belle said that she and her family are having a bit of a hard time with it, too. Yeah, well, despite his crimes and indiscretions, Victor Kariakis was a big part of everyone’s lives there.

A force to be reckoned with, that’s for sure. To Victor.

To Victor. And those who loved him.

It’s funny how our things come in bunches, isn’t it? I mean, funerals and weddings. I guess you heard that Eric is engaged. Don’t remind me. Yeah, I wasn’t thrilled when he told me that son was pregnant. But that would mean that Eric’s a dad and we’d be grandparents. Regardless of how we feel about her, they’re…

They’re going to get married.

Why? Why? You know, why did this happen to us? I was having a healthy pregnancy. I know, I know. I, I, I don’t know. You know, they’re running tests, right? According to the doctors, I guess sometimes these things happen. Please. Hey guys. Hi, Aunt Kayla. How are you feeling, Sloan? How do you think? My baby is dead.

Sorry. I don’t mean to snap at you. You don’t need to apologize to me. I am, uh, I’m sorry for the loss. Both of you. Thank you. Do we have our test results back? I need to know why this happened. I need to know why I lost my baby.

You’re welcome.

You

just… Stay there and rest. While I… Or… I need… Admit you… To Stefan’s attempted murder. See ya. Okay,

this should work.

What do you think you’re doing?

Good morning, sleepy Head. I guess I wore you out last night, huh? Why are you looking through my phone? Uh, wait, this is your phone? No wonder I couldn’t find any of my emails. I’m so sorry, I thought it was mine. Well, it isn’t. Well, they were right here on the table next to each other, and you know, if we’re going to be doing these sleepovers, we really should get different cases.

So, can I have it back? Oh. Of course. Where’s my head? Thank you. So, last night was fun, huh? You mean last night and this morning? That too. Yeah, that was definitely a good time. I hope you know I didn’t plan on coming here to sleep with you. Guess I swept you off your feet. I guess you did.

Ugh. You’re kidding. Hmm. Lee, I, uh, I really, really want to, but I, I, I have to get to the courthouse. Oh. Hmm. Isn’t this so much more fun than putting bad guys behind bars? Yeah, it is, but girls gotta earn a living. Ah, excuses, excuses. May I use your shower? Do you need me to join you? No time.

What exactly are you up to, Melinda?

Eric, would you mind keeping Sloane and me a minute alone? No. Yeah, yeah, of course. No, I want him to stay. Are you sure? You’re worried about my privacy. I’m giving you permission now to share everything with him. He was his baby too. Alright. Thank you. So what did the test reveal? Sloan, um, your test results show that you have an autoimmune disorder.

Which is where your body’s immune system mistakenly creates antibodies that attack your healthy tissues. And that can also cause blood clots in your arteries and your veins. Is that why I passed out? Most likely. And we think that that’s probably what caused the miscarriage. But you need to know that there are effective treatments.

And before we go any further, I’m going to go print up some literature that you guys can read, so you can understand more what you’re dealing with. Okay? Okay. Thank you. I’m Kayla. I am so sorry for your loss.

Well, at least we know now why this happened.

I know exactly why this happened. Nothing to do with an autoimmune disorder. What do you mean? What are you, what? I’m being punished. Punished? Eric. Punished for what? Being who I am. For the choices that I’ve made. No, no Sloan. God does not work that way. Oh, like hell he doesn’t. Your precious God took our baby for the decisions that I’ve made.

Oh, hey. Who’s up?

You okay? Um, I’m fine. It’s nothing. Well, it doesn’t look like nothing. Looks like you’ve seen a ghost. It’s because I have, in a manner of speaking. Well, what happened?

It was just a nightmare. Truthfully, it was a, a series of memories. Memories of what? The night Ava Vitale killed my mother.

I know why you’re here, Susan. You came back for revenge, didn’t you? What is she talking about? She’s just a little confused. It’s okay, Ava, you’re safe. How can you say that? She’s standing right there.

I didn’t mean to kill you. Susan, Susan, it was an accident, I swear. And if your son, if your son hadn’t been chasing me, I never would have been forced to drive off the road. Stop looking at me like that. Stop torturing me. Leave me. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s okay. Hey, hey. I got her, it’s okay. Mitch, just, just walk away.

She came back. She

came back. She came back for revenge. She came back to punish me. No, no, nobody’s gonna punish you. Nobody’s punishing you. know that I deserve it. Oh my god. Ava. Oh my god. Ava, listen to me. Hey, hey, look at me. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t handle it. I can’t take it, Harris. I can’t, I can’t. Ava. Ava. Hey.

Please, just Look at me.

That woman

is not Susan. It’s not Susan. I can promise you, that woman is not her. Her name is Mitch. Okay, she’s a patient here. It is not, Susan. Go ahead and take a look. It’s, it’s okay. Just go ahead. Oh my god. I’m so sorry.

Don’t be sorry. I’m so, so sorry. Don’t, don’t. Hey. It’s okay. Don’t be sorry. Oh my god. It’s not gonna be okay. How is it gonna ever be okay? I’m still seeing dead people. That means I’m still psychotic. And I’m never gonna get out of here. And I’m never gonna be well again.

I’m not. Oh, you picked me out a tie. How domestic. Yeah. How’d I do? Excellent choice.

So, how long have you been having these nightmares about your mother and Ava? Um, ever since the night she died. Why didn’t you tell me? Well, it’s not every night. It tends to only occur when I’m under duress. Well… Have you talked to anyone about this? No, no, and you don’t need to be Dr. Marlena Evans to get to the root of it.

It’s obvious that my loss is unresolved because I haven’t managed to avenge my mother’s death. Ava Vitarly faked a mental breakdown and managed to get herself shipped off to some cushy mental hospital. Where’s the justice in that? BJ, I, I, I know I am not Ava’s biggest fan, but, I really, I don’t think she’s faking mental illness.

And with my extensive dealings with her, I can attest that that woman is deranged. Hmm. Still and all, she and that mongrel Xander cook her alive and well, while my dear sweet mother was sent to an early grave. And these nightmares will continue to plague me until I make sure those two rotters get what they deserve.

You

know, here I was. I was feeling so good after my visit with Tripp.

I really thought I was pretty damn bad. I don’t know, maybe it’s just a matter of adjusting the molds. I don’t know. I’m

starting to wonder if anything’s going to help me. No, no, we’re not going to talk like that. Iris.

What if the doctors see what happened today as some kind of major setback? What if they isolate me? And they don’t allow me any visitors? I don’t think they’re gonna do that. I need to see my son. I mean, what if they, they decide that I’m incurable? I’m always gonna be a threat to society. You know,

what if I told you that I know a psychiatrist and you can trust him implicitly? He will not see you as a threat. And definitely not incurable. She’ll do everything she can to help you without judgment.

Who? What, what, what psychiatrist? The best there is. Dr. Marlena Evans.

You have to admit that it would be nice to have a, a grandbaby to spoil again. I do love babies. You do. You are the Baby Whisperer. You always have been. And I miss using those skills since Allie and Henry moved to New Zealand. I bet you do. I

have an idea. Okay. Why don’t we have a baby shower for Sloane right here at the pub? You’re serious? Well, uh, would be for, would be for Eric too, you know. I’m gonna pass. I thought you were looking forward to having another grandchild. That doesn’t mean I have to throw a big party for Sloane Peterson. You know, she did insult my clam chowder.

Seriously? Yeah, it is serious. That recipe came with Brady’s from Ireland generations ago. They fought famine, rough seas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Your mother told me many, many times. Okay, then you understand the significance. Look, she might be carrying her baby. Hell, she might talk him into marrying her one day.

But that doesn’t mean I have to feed and or like her.

I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Why do you deserve punishment? What did you do?

Okay, Nicole Walker. No genetic anomalies detected. Blah, blah, blah. Okay, where is

it? E. J. DiMera.

Not a genetic match. Dear God. The baby’s not E. J. ‘s. It’s Eric’s.

Okay, that should do it. Presto change o. No mention of EJ not being a genetic match for Nicole’s baby.

I’ve been through some of the terrible things that I’ve done.

Who hasn’t? Sloane, you’re being way too hard on yourself right now. If you knew some of the things that I’ve done, you keep saying that, but you, you were trying to tell me something before you collapsed it. Is that what this is about?

Are you sure You don’t need me to come in? No, I don’t. You were here till 4:00 AM and the last thing I need is exhausted doctors in my er. So you need to rest doctor’s orders. Okay. I just wanted to see if there’s anything I could do for Sloan. That’s very sweet of you. How is she? It’s quite a blow, obviously.

And for Eric, too. Have you figured out what might have caused Sloan to miscarry? Sloan lost the baby?

Thanks for the update, Kayla. I’ll, uh, I’ll see you tomorrow. Did you drop much? I was just walking through and I heard you say that Sloan Peterson had a miscarriage. That’s awful. What happened? I think you know that I’m not at liberty to discuss a patient’s medical issues. Oh, please. You Salem U doctors violate HIPAA more than you change your scrubs.

Huh. Well, this conversation’s over. Look, I’m a friend of Sloan’s. Okay, then talk to her. Fine. I will. No, wait, wait, wait. You’re not supposed to know.

Damn. Sloan, what were you about to tell me before you got sick and passed out?

Please, please, just tell me.

Just, just say that I… Okay, um, here’s what I found on your autoimmune disorder.

This condition doesn’t mean that I’m never going to be able to have a baby. Well, there are medications that you can take that will lessen your chances for blood clots or having another miscarriage. So, is it curable? It’s treatable, but not curable. So this is something I’m going to have to live with the rest of my life.

EJ, you know me. When it comes to revenge schemes, I usually am the one who jumps in with both feet. But… Things are different now. How so? How so? Um, hello? We’re having a baby. And let’s not forget the last time you went to war with Ava, there were casualties. And the last thing we want is our baby getting caught in the crossfire.

You don’t have to worry, darling. I would never let anything happen to you or our baby. Okay. So you’ll let this go? Please? I’m afraid I can’t do that. Because as long as Ava Vitale is out there, she is a threat to my family. And so is anyone else who is willing to help her. Why would Marlena want to help me?

Because it’s what she does. You, you don’t understand. Marlena and I, we have a history. Okay. I have done some really dirty things to the people she cares about. Including sleeping with her husband.

Oh. Wow, that’s… Yeah. And Marlena and John, they’re really good friends with my ex, Steve Johnson, and his wife, Kayla. And

I made their lives hell when I first returned to Salem. And then there’s her former father in law, Sean Brady. Don’t tell me you slept with him too. No. Okay. No, but he did die in a plane crash. That I made happen. Oh, and did I mention that Marlena and Susan Banks, they were close? And that, um, I kinda sorta blew up the church.

At Susan’s funeral with Marlena in attendance. Okay. That definitely is a lot.

But, um, I have also done some terrible things to her loved ones. But Dr. Evans has been helping me. She’s remarkably non judgmental.

I know. Maybe. I mean, she… She did treat Ben Weston, you know, necktie killer, Hope’s son in law. That’s what I heard, yeah. And like I said, she’s remarkably nonjudgmental. So, why don’t you let me give her a call on your behalf?

Knock yourself out. Go ahead, call her.

Listen.

Yeah. Uh, no, Harris, it’s okay. Yeah. I’ll be right there. I’ll see you soon.

Everything okay? Uh, yes, yes, just a, uh, patient needs to see me, so I’m afraid I have to run. Well, bound to happen sooner or later, but, uh… I do appreciate the time we have. Me, too. I’ve enjoyed this with you. And, um, would you be good enough to call Eric and tell him that we’ve decided to give them a baby shower?

We have. We have. Why can I still not say no to you? I do not know. Tell Kate that I will be in touch with her about the details. I will.

I get the feeling I am going to regret this.

So if I try and get pregnant again, I have to worry that I could develop a blood clot that will kill my baby? Well, your doctors would keep an eye on that. And like I said, there are medications. You said they could lessen the risk. I mean, what kind of percentages are we talking about here? Hey, slow down. I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

Okay, we need to focus in on your recovery. Okay?

What is it? Uh, sorry, my dad wants me to call him. But I’ll do it later, okay? No, no, that’s okay. Call your dad. Really, I mean it. I… The truth is, I could use a moment alone to just… Process everything. Okay. You guys don’t have any questions for me, do you? Um, the printouts… Yep, and I’m good. All right. I’ll be in my office if you need anything, all right?

Are

you sure you want me to go? Yeah, sure. Okay, well, I’ll just be right outside by the nurse’s station, okay?

Okay. Oh

my god, Sloane. Are you okay? What are you doing here? I, I heard about the baby. How? Trip Johnson was on the phone and I, I overheard what he was saying. Are you kidding me? See, Al, you’re saying it in the open? Yeah, um, he was, but… Honey, I am so sorry about your baby. Are you, Melinda? Are you so sorry?

Where’s Melinda? She left. Without saying goodbye? Should I be offended? She said she had to run. Okay. I hope, uh, we didn’t disturb you and Jing Wen last night. Or this morning. It’s all good. Great. Yeah. Because I was worried that we might have been a bit too active.

No, I didn’t even notice. Uh, you know, and I take that, you know, with Melinda sleeping over that you decided to take my advice and given her another chance. Yeah, you could say that. So you two are back together? We’ll see what happens. What does that mean? It means… We’ll see. I know that a lot of men in my position might find it hard to get past a woman trying to trick them into confessing attempted murder.

Well, good thing for Melinda you’re a little more forgiving than most. Yeah. It doesn’t hurt that she’s a… Fascinating woman. Well, good luck with that. Uh, I’m gonna go for a run while the weather’s still cooperating. I’ll see you later. Yeah. See you later.

EJ, how would your mother feel about your plan to go after Ava? I mean, I could just hear her now, quoting some bible passage. Vengeance is mine, thus saith the Lord? No! God, no. Not that one. The Susan I know would want you to turn the other cheek. Well, she’s not here now, is she? And Ava is the reason. Okay.

Well, if the memory of your mother’s faith isn’t enough for you to drop this, may I remind you that we are getting married? And it is very unattractive and distracting for you to be plotting revenge against someone when we would, we should still be in the honeymoon phase and while we should be focusing on nothing but each other.

I’m capable of multitasking. No reason I can’t be focused on my beautiful bride while eliminating dangerous psychopaths at the same time. Hey, Jay. Okay, fine, fine, fine, you’re right. The timing is not ideal.

Honey, we are building a life together. And vengeance plots just don’t seem to fit in.

It’s Dr. Swanson. She refilled my prescription. Do you need it right away? No, no, I’ll… I’ll get it, I’ll just go to the hospital pharmacy, but you have a job to do. You need to go down to the courthouse and get the forms to fill out for our marriage license. Thanks for reminding me. I didn’t make it last time before they closed because I was cornered by that dreadful Melinda Trask.

Yeah, who warned you about me, I remember. She loves to push my buttons. I mean, the nerve of that woman implying that she knew some secret reason why I shouldn’t marry you. Yeah, well, for once, I’m not worried about it. My conscience is clear, because we are, we’re committed to each other, and this is a baby.

I mean, what, what reason could there possibly be? Hmm,

Of course I am sorry about your baby. Cut. No, I… Please, less than 24 hours ago you were trying to blackmail me. And now I’m supposed to accept your sympathy? Look, that was nothing personal. You know, just save it, okay? Save the excuses, you know? It doesn’t even matter now. I mean, this is what I get, right? For lying to Eric?

My baby’s gone. But he can still be a father.

You don’t need to worry about that right now. Why should he suffer like I’m suffering? I get the message loud and clear.

I’m gonna tell him that he’s the father of Nicole’s baby as soon as he gets back. He deserves to know.

And, I’m, I’m done with the lying. I don’t think you should do that.

Hey Dad, what’s up? Well, uh, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Something going on? Well, your mother was just here, and, uh, the two of us have decided that we’d like to throw a baby shower for you and Sloane here at the pub. Dad. Look, I mean, I know that I haven’t exactly been Sloane’s biggest fan, but, uh, your mom has convinced me I need to get it over with myself.

Dad. I mean, Sloane is having your baby shower, so… Dad, you don’t understand! There can’t be a shower. Sloan… Sloan lost the baby.

Dammit! I’m so sorry, man. Watch where you’re going! I probably didn’t see you here. Dr. Johnson, what a coincidence. Yes, just this morning I was thinking about how that depraved creature you call a mother murdered mine. My mom was suffering from a mental health relapse from Ms. Banks. When Ava killed her. A relapse you helped exacerbate, by the way.

Are you seriously blaming me for your mother’s crimes? Well, let’s not pretend you don’t share some of the responsibility. I do seem to remember being kidnapped by one of your goons. Unbelievable. It seems that lack of remorse runs into the Tali bloodline.

Look, I’m very sorry that you lost your mom. It was a terrible tragedy. And not that you asked, but my mom is finally getting the help that she needs. She’s actually doing a lot better. No, seriously, Dad, Dad. It’s the truth. And we hope that someday, she’ll fully recover. And that they’ll release her. And, when that day comes, you’re just gonna have to deal with it.

We’ll see about that.

Dr. Evans, you came. Yes. You said it was important. It is. Hello, Dr. Evans. Ava? Thank you for coming.

What’s going on here? Um, is there somewhere that we could talk in private? Sure. Follow me.

They can’t hate you, sweetheart. You see, no one can.

Not until you start telling the truth.

Previously, on Cedar Cove. Ladies. He likes you. You should come out sometime. How’d it go? You should let him come after you. Sit back and do nothing? I lost a brother, and a father. Stan just ran away and did. I’ve been seeing a therapist. Better late than never.

You do want to come to this event. Save your money and show up. You’ll have a lot of fun. Yes, please come to our bachelor auction. So once a year, it’s a good cause for pet adoption. Okay?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Please. Ava. Good morning, Hicks. Oh. Don’t you just love waking up to the smell of freshly mopped linoleum floors? I am, uh, I am getting used to it. They only have decaf here? Yeah. You seem like you’re in good spirits. Your visit with, with your son went well? Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was incredible. I think that same trip was just what the doctor ordered.

You trying to drown out the noise from Caligula’s Garden of Delights in there? Yeah, if only it was working. You know, I wish there was a front desk so I could channel my inner Karen and complain. Yes, I’d like to speak to the manager. Oh, if you’re the manager, then I’d like to speak to the manager’s manager.

Hey, Karen, make sure you let them know how little sleep you got. Is it that obvious? Well, I just assumed, because I sure didn’t get any sleep. I mean, who can really sleep with all that going on in there? Well. All that is going on between my brother and Melinda Trask. Oh, so he decided to give her another chance.

He sure did. Well, you get a 10 for stamina, right? Definitely. Hey, you don’t think they started like one of those webcam side hustles, right? Uh, absolutely not. It’s bad enough I have to listen to it. I do not need those images in my head, thank you very much. I don’t know, I have to say, when I see those images in my head, I get a little envious.

I shouldn’t have admitted that, right? Actually, it’s kind of cool that you admitted that. And truth be told, I feel the same way. Cut to NPS.

Wow,

that was incredible. Are you watching this on your morning cardio? That’s very thoughtful of you. My phone keeps going off. Let me see what… Oh my god. What? What is it? Victor Kiriakis, he died in a plane crash. That’s… Whoa. Yeah. Whoa. Oh my God. It’s really sad.

I gotta tell you, I’m a little taken aback by your reaction. I mean, there’s really no love lost, right, between you and Salem’s answer to Aristotle Onassis? It wasn’t, but, I mean, this is Sonny’s uncle. I mean, he always made sure to make Ariana feel part of the family. Right. Well, Salem’s not gonna be the same without that old larger than life coot scheming and manipulating every upstanding citizen this side well, both sides of the Mississippi.

Yeah. Hey, um, wait, if we Hey, listen, talking about schemers, we need to talk about your sister. Which one? You know which one, Steph and Kristen. She’s up to something, and we need to get to the bottom of it.

I tried my damnedest to send you to your grave. And at long last, you finally made it there. Without my help.

You stole my child. And now, thanks to you, I may never see her again. Oh, don’t be so dramatic. We’ll find your daughter.

Emmett, woman, put that knife down. We both know that you’re not gonna But

I wouldn’t give to watch the hounds of hell tear you limb from limb. Ah, rest in misery, you son of a bitch. I’ll

get it, Harold!

Can I help you? I certainly hope so. I’m looking for Dimitri von Leuschner. Um, concerning what? Concerning a rather urgent business matter.

Ah.

Well. Looks like someone’s tummy has recovered. Yes, thanks to a good night’s rest and the loving attention of my beautiful wife slash travel companion.

Well, now that you are the perfect picture of health, shall we go check out those lava fields? Yes, yes, that sounds great. Although you should know that I would be happy… Doing anything, as long as it’s spending time with you. Whether it’s at an Icelandic lava field, or… The parking lot of a strip mall. Oh, you…

God, you just really know how to melt my heart, don’t you? Okay, my sweaty little Romeo. Why don’t you go have a shower so we can make a move? Yeah. You know, I think that we just melted whatever ice was left in Iceland. Oh no, now they’ll just have to call it land from now on. They could call it water land, you could be my Kevin Costner.

Oh, this is perfect. Here we are. Together.

On your honeymoon. With my best friend.

You know what? I just had an idea. Should we invite Leo? Like sand

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

Okay, when isn’t my sister up to something? No, I know, but this time it’s, it’s different. I heard her talking to Rachel yesterday. They have some shared secrets, something about touching money. You mean like… Monopoly money or money money? Money money, honey. That’s why my ears perked up. Okay, so what else did your perked up little ears hear?

Any specifics? Okay, well, I wouldn’t say specifics exactly, but it has something to do with your nephew, Dimitri. Of course it does. Dimitri? Well, that is my darling nephew. Please, come on in. Is the man of the hour here? I have this residence listed as Mr. von Leuchner’s home of record. Well, it is, but he is away right now.

On his honeymoon, actually, with the love of his life, who has a charming English accent, just like yours. Too bad he’s not around. I suppose I should have, uh, done journeying all the way from Alamania. Did you just say alumania? So, is it safe to assume that this has something to do with the cortisol of the Von Leuschner Trust?

Yes, it does actually. Uh, sorry, may I ask, Miss… Oh, DiMera. Kristen DiMera. And you are? Elliot Roth. I’m a barrister, uh, representing Sedd von Leuchner Trust. Barrister, huh? So did you pack that funny little wig in your carry on? It’s at the dry cleaners. But I’m curious, Mr. Mirror. You mentioned the Codacil. How did you become privy to its existence?

Well, my nephew and I are very close. We practically share everything. Oh, well then I can share with you that I flew to the States to personally present Mr. von Neuschne with the first installment of his funds. Oh, well, looks like Santa arrived earlier this year, and not by sleigh. Well, you can leave that with me, Mr.

Wolf. Not so fast, Auntie Dearest.

Really? You want Leo to come to the lava fields with us? Well, he’s your best friend, right? And he just seems so lonely, traveling all by himself. I just thought maybe, I don’t know, it’d be nice to, uh, make him feel included.

My, my, my, my Dimitri von Leuschner, you… Oh, such a wonderful man. My God, I mean, my annoying, garrulous, pesky, gay best friend crashes our honeymoon, and instead of you being infuriated, which, believe me, most blokes would be, you invite him to join us. Whatever did I do to deserve you? Well, I know how much he means to you.

And honestly, the thought of him all alone… In his hotel room, watching the Icelandic version of Mamma Mia without subtitles. Yes, or trying to seduce some blue eyed twink named Gunnar. Hang on. Was it the Madonna concert last night? Doesn’t that mean that he would be flying to Salem now as we speak?

Did you order room service?

Quinny, thank God you’re here. I was worried you would be at the lava fields or whale watching or at the blue lagoon. God, Matty, what’s wrong, babe? Quinny, I feel awful, just awful. What? But why? Talk to me. Listen, there’s something I have to tell you. You

know, something that would make me a little less envious. As if tamped down my envy. That’s the idea? And Wendy,

I

wanted to apologize again for, you know, interrupting at the Salem Inn. That wasn’t your fault. You got that important call from Bayview about your mom. You never told me how that went. It was, it was really encouraging. Okay. She’s… She’s improved so much. That’s, Tripp, that’s amazing. Yeah, yeah it was. You know, she and I were talking and I was looking at her and there’s lights in her eyes, they’re back on, you know.

Like, there’s none of that craziness, no more paranoia. It’s just, actually like I had my mom back. I am so happy for her.

And for you.

So you, you know that I was concerned that seeing Tripp might, might cause intrusive thoughts or hallucinations. It didn’t. Not a one. That’s great. It sounds like the uh, the meds the doctor puts you on are working. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, I can feel it. You know, I can, I can feel it in my psyche. I can, I can feel it in my soul.

Yeah. Yeah, I feel like I’m healing.

And just in time to face the consequences of what I’ve done. I don’t know if you want to worry about that right now. I mean, you’re, you’re getting better. Focus on that. You know, focus on our healing journey, right? Is that what they say? Yes, but part of my healing journey is being accountable for what I’ve done.

And a, uh, a very sweet, innocent woman is dead. Because of what I’ve done. I’ve gone it. You know, I have to own that if I hadn’t let my rage for E. J. DiMera get the better of me, that his mother would still be alive. Mimosa? Uh, no thank you. I, I don’t drink on the job. Oh, I’m sure Don Draper would like to have a word with you.

Um, Mad Men? Okay, you know what, never mind. Anyway, uh, I hope that you can forgive my insolence earlier. As I mentioned, my nephew and I are very close and… So, I took umbrage at the notion that, uh, he would be anything other than grateful to you if you gave that cheque to his favorite antichrist. I’m sure your nephew would be fine with it, but there’s a protocol.

I have to make sure the conditions of the codicil are carried out to the letter before I can disperse. Disperse the first installment of the funds to Mr. Von Leuschner. Yes, yes, of course. Um, and I also understand that the codicil stated that Dimitri was to be a married man before his 40th birthday.

That’s correct. Well, I’m happy to inform you, Mr. Roth, that your job here is done. See, I can personally attest that Dimitri has met all the conditions of his paternal family’s trust. See, I was at the wedding. I am an eyewitness. Well, I can’t just take your word for it, Mr. Bearer. You’d be surprised how many people are willing to commit fraud to get their hands on even a fraction of this kind of money.

That is so true. What a corrupt world we live in. You know, it wouldn’t surprise me if my greedy sister Kristen and duplicitous DiMera coffers. Babe, we are going to get to the bottom of this. Ow. And what exactly did you learn from your little chat with Rachel that you both share a fondness for Spongebob Squarepants?

Look, I got nothing. Nada. She’s her mother’s daughter. She keeps her cards close to the vest. No, no, no, no, no. Mi amor, you’re using the wrong metaphor. See, we de Meres were a family of chess champions, okay? Not common poker players. And I can assure you… From birth, Rachel has been taught to protect her queen at all costs.

The question is, what role is Dimitri playing in Kristen’s latest con? Does she see him as an equal? Her king standing right beside her? Or is Dimitri just another one of her pawns?

Leah, whatever it is, I’m sure we can find Come on, tell me. Tell me what’s upset you like this. What’s wrong?

It’s my Uncle Victor. He’s dead. Oh! Oh dear, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you had an Uncle Victor. Gwendolyn, of course you did. My Uncle Victor, Kiriakis, Ringabel. Oh that, Victor, you mean Sunny and Xander’s pathetic excuse for an uncle? You’re crying over that old geezer. Yes, I am. He was family. He was my… Well, technically, he was my uncle in law for a brief period.

You mean that brief period when you blackmailed his nephew into marriage? Come on, the man despised you! he glared at me with the intensity of a thousand suns, and, sure, he had the warmth of Jack Nicholson in The Shining, but… We had a special bond. When I think of the last Christmas we spent together at the family home…

So, how do Christmas mornings work around here? When do we open the gifts? An hour after we throw you out on your sugarplum ass. Victor, you’re such a cut up. Anderson! I need you to escort this deranged woodland critter out of my house. I think, deep down, Despite all the kvetching I’ve done about him in therapy, I think he actually liked me.

Oh, I’m so sorry, Matty. No, never, don’t.

I know our stories aren’t the same. But I do get what it feels like to become so lost. It’s so separated from reality that you end up hurting innocent people. You see, but our stories aren’t the same at all. No, you, you told me, right? That this Megan cow, she brainwashed you. So you. You weren’t in your right mind when you heard those people weren were, but you weren’t, but you weren’t even in your right mind when you went after Susan Banks.

You told me that you were grieving over your ex-fiancee. And God knows people when they grieve, do crazy things, especially when they’re alone, when they don’t have support, which clearly you didn’t.

I, I don’t know. Maybe, maybe. I know you didn’t ask for my opinion. But from what you just told me, it sounds like E. J. DiMera and this Gabby woman used you as a pawn in your twisted little family war.

You know, this could be a palace coup. I mean, Kristen could be using her daughter as a red herring, knowing we’d follow the scent, and then… And then what? She beheads us all and she ascends the Iron Throne? I wouldn’t put it past her. Okay, I wouldn’t either, but I haven’t seen any white walkers milling about.

So let’s slow down, go with what we know, what we can deduce, and build on that. Okay, well we know that Dimitri is too smart, too cunning, to be Kristen’s pawn. Unless she’s double crossing him. Which is entirely possible. However, we know that she and Mr. Gotta Be Married By My 40th Birthday are in this together.

Yeah, whatever this is. You know, when I talked to Rachel, I asked her to play 20 questions with me, and we only answered one question before Mommy interrupted. What was the question? What was the answer? I told her that I knew that her and Kristen had a secret, and that it had something to do with money. So I asked her if it involved anybody in this house.

And what did she say? She said yes. Well, that’s a start. Yes, and we still have 19 chances to get to the finish line. Hmm.

Please, sit.

So, just out of curiosity, Mr. Roth… Oh, please, uh, call me Elliot. All right, Elliot. Pray tell, what, what would happen to the money earmarked for my nephew via the von Leuschner codicil if, uh, the marriage doesn’t stand up to your… Rigorous scrutiny. It’s quite simple. Should I determine that Mr. Von Leuchner did not meet the terms of the codicil or that his marriage is fraudulent, the money set aside for him would be divided between the remaining heirs of the Von Leuchner Trust.

Oh, I see. And that would be Carly Manning, Frankie Brady, Some love child no one knows about, an unassuming cobbler in Vienna. There aren’t any cobblers listed as theirs. But you’ve certainly done your homework on the von Leuschner family history. Mr. Mehra, I grow more impressed by the minute. Hmm. Well, Elliot, I am not one for homework.

I just want everybody to be treated fairly. That’s commendable. And getting back to business, it appears Katerina and Francois both renounced their claim to the von Leuschner family fortune decades ago. It seems they’re more than happy to subsist on their wages as a film director and chocolatier, respectively.

I see. Uh, so who, uh, Would get the money if it falls through for Dimitri. Dimitri’s portion would be divided equally between Katerina’s children, Dimitri’s cousins. Nicholas James Alamein and Melanie Jonas. But, surely you aren’t worried about your nephew failing to meet the terms of the codicil, are you?

Mr. Merrill?

Oh, I don’t know where all this grief is coming from. Maybe it’s just being here in Reykjavik. Walking past all the tall, blonde Icelandic zaddies. That I’ll never get to cover head to toe in Skier. Oh, so much is coming up. I’m even thinking about how I’ve never had a chance to mourn Bernardo. From West Side Story.

I saw the movie recently. The original from 1961. And George Chakiris, oh, I was so smitten. And when Tony takes Riff’s blade and stabs him? Oh, God! Oh, Matty, I’m so sorry. You’re feeling so sad. Is there, is there anything I can do to help you feel better? Actually, I did see a picture of a weirdly shaped ice cream cone downstairs with an impossible to pronounce word beneath it.

Right, okay. Well, if ice cream is what Matty wants, then ice cream is what he shall have. Chocolate or vanilla? Okay, both. Dimitri, can I get anything for you, darling? Oh, uh, I probably shouldn’t risk it after earlier. Oh, right, the yogurt, yes. Right, well, very well then. I will be back in a jiffy, okay?

What was that? You scared me half to death, showing up here in tears. It looked like you had a confession on the tip of your tongue. What? I would never. I really am sad. I’m sad about, well, mostly that all the viking themed gay bars I thought would be here for some reason aren’t. Although… A confession would have served you right.

After you suggested I take Gwen with me to a very fictional Madonna concert? How is that gonna play out? We show up at the Fjord extravaganza and no one’s there. I only said it because you called me a tight ass. That was a compliment. You also said that I had no taste in music. Was that a compliment too?

No, but I was just acting for Gwen, playing the role of someone not having sex with her husband. Really? Really. And were you acting just now or are you actually sad about Victor Kiriakis passing? I really am sad. Curmudgeons are a dying breed. We need them. Aww. Oh, darling. Everything’s gonna be okay. Hey, you know what?

I just had an idea. How about we take your mind off things?

So? Where do you think your mom goes from here? Well, it’s hard to say. Um. It’s, of course, great that she’s doing better. But, I mean. The reality is, is that she’s still responsible for the death of Johnny’s grandmother. But surely the courts won’t hold her responsible for something she did while she wasn’t in her right mind.

Well, the only person that knows for sure whether or not my mom will be prosecuted is in that room with your brother. Huh. Well, why don’t we knock on the door and ask Melinda right now?

Of course I’m not worried. Dimitri and Gwendolyn Ryszczak are completely above board. And they said their vows and Dimitri is deeply in I appreciate the reassurance. Oh, trust me, Elliot. Those two are head over heels. They can’t keep their hands off of one another.

Yo, I cannot take my hands off of you. Well, you have to. We cannot do this. Oh, come on. I just… Just what? I am in deep mourning. This is as inappropriate as the comment that lacrosse coach made to me when I was peeling a banana in the cafeteria.

You are funny. I try. Too hard most of the time. No, not too hard. You always manage to lift my spirits with that sense of humor. It’s one of the many reasons that I am just crazy about you. Stop it! Stop it! Stop! Stop! What if Gwen comes back and finds out you are as gay as a Cher collage? You can tell her you were just consoling me.

I’ll be quick. Oh, uh.

But really, must we leave this room? Because I’m telling you, I hate staying here. We must, babe. We must. Because, listen, I would love to stay in bed with you all day and all night. But the sooner we get downstairs and sniff out what your sister’s really hiding… The better. Okay? Time is of the essence. Have I ever told you how sexy you are when you’re planning someone’s takedown?

Oh, right. That guy just did. Shall we? We shall.

You better get that. It could be Gwen. It could be Gwen.

Yes. Ground control to Major Tom. Honeymoon is over, nephew. You need to haul your ass back to Salem. Pronto. I don’t

know, it’s kind of crazy. You know, my therapists are already helping me understand and process, you know, some childhood traumas. Um, all the things I endured as a SEAL. And how all that made me more susceptible to the mind control. Well, I’m glad you’re getting the help that you need, Harris.

You know, about what you said earlier, you know, I know that you were trying to just ease my conscience. But the fact is, I was in control of my faculties when Gabby asked me to pretend to be married to Jake. I could have said no. But I chose to go along with the lie.

And then when EJ found out the truth, and he banished me from Salem, I just, I just went into a really dark place.

But you know the, the help and the treatment that I’m getting here at Bayview, it’s… I feel like it’s actually starting to help and I’m finally able to see some light. And that’s why

I have faith in you too. We’ll be walking out of here very soon. There is Michael.

Oh my god, did you hear what I just heard? Seems like Melinda and your brother are not quite tapped out. Yeah, and less stamina like you said. So it looks like I’ll have to wait to ask the DA about mom’s case. You know when she and your brother aren’t, uh… Otherwise occupied. In the meantime, maybe we could take a page from their book and make a little noise of our own.

Mmm. Mmm! Oh, true!

So, who was that on the phone? Dad, that was my, uh, my Aunt Kristen. She’s in Chicago for a few days. You’re lying to me, I can tell. I am not lying. You are, and I know this because you’re doing that thing where the words coming out of your mouth don’t sound true. So tell me, what was so important that Kristen had to bother us on our honeymoon?

Oopsies. Your honeymoon with Gwen. Okay, fine. The truth is, that somebody showed up at the DiMera mansion representing the von Leuschner Trust. And? Did they bring the money from the cata salt? The first payment, yes. Oh my gosh! Wow, wow, wow! You know, this means we could actually fly to a secret Madonna concert.

We’re gonna get it. Just as soon as Gwen and I return to Salem and prove to this man that we are a legitimate married couple.

Sorry to keep you waiting. Oh, that’s quite all right, but were you able to get in touch with your nephew? Well, I didn’t know we had company. What a pleasant surprise. Well, if you’ll excuse us, um, Elliot, let me walk you to the door, please. Uh, wait! Aren’t you going to introduce us to your guest, Kristen? Uh, Elliot Roth, I represent the The Martin Preparatory, uh, Academy.

Uh, this is Rachel’s new headmaster at her school. Rachel, I, um Kristen, I didn’t know you were pulling Scalemel Elementary. Yeah, you see, um, she needed a more challenging scholastic experience, uh She’s very clever, like her mommy. Yes, um, shall we go?

Nice meeting you, Elliot. Yes, um, likewise. Thank you.

I told you she was up to something. That Elliot is, is, is not the headmaster at Martin Prepper or anywhere else. What’s going on, Miss DiMera? Who’s Rachel? And why are you telling those people I’m the headmaster of some school? Rachel is my daughter and that is my brother and my sister in law. Maybe I’m not understanding.

Why are your brother and sister in law not… Well, Elliot… My brother is married to an opportunistic fortune hunter who is hell bent on sleeping her way to the corner office at DiMera. And the last thing that Dimitri and Gwen need right now is that woman knowing about this enormous fortune that he has come into.

I suppose that makes sense. So when exactly are Dimitri and Gwen expected to return? Well, actually, very soon. The Demerijad is on the runway. Uh, in Reykjavik, as we speak. Well, I do look forward to concluding my business with Mr. Leuchner. I’d better be off. Tell your nephew I’ll be staying at the Salem Inn.

Wonderful. And I will make sure he comes to see you the moment he returns.

So, you’re telling me this Elliot character is in Salem to vet your marriage? Mm hmm. What is this, the Middle Ages? Does he have a golden chalice, a feathered quill? Right, well, two Bragafer something or other ice creams, coming right up. I’m sorry that took me so long. You should have seen the queue, lads.

You’d think that we were waiting to see the Queen lying in state. Mattie? Dimitri? Is everything all right? Yes, yes of course Gwen, uh, but unfortunately I’m afraid it is so long, au revoir to Iceland for now. What? Why? Well, I received a phone call while you were away and my presence is requested back in Salem at once.

Requested? By whom? I’ll tell you all about it on the way, but for now we really have to get packing. Chop chop! So

how’s Rachel getting on at her new school? Is she, uh, playing well with others? Hmm. Where is your wife? She got an errand to run.

Now

I’m gonna get to the

bottom of why Mr. Elliot Roth is really in Salem.

What’s wrong? I don’t know, I just, uh, I guess I didn’t envision our first time together happening before a live studio audience. Me neither. I guess the collective three hours of sleep has impacted our decision making abilities. Agreed. We deserve better. Yeah, mood lighting, rose petals. At the very least, privacy.

Yeah, I mean, I’m a simple guy, a locked door will suffice. Let’s say we both get ready for work. And then once we get home, we can make a solid plan about when and where we can finally be together. Sounds good to me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take a very cold shower.

And the doctors think that the visit went so well that they say that Chip can come back soon. Oh, God, and Harris, I, I can’t wait till he does. Oh, my boy. God, my sweet, wonderful boy.

No, the only thing that I’m actually proud of in this life is getting to be his mom. Your progress gives me hope. I’m telling you. This place can help me, can help anyone. And look, I know it’s only been a couple of days since my last episode, but um, I feel like I’m really getting my life back. And, to put my own little spin on a quote from one of my favorite Bruce Willis movies, I no longer see dead people.

Heh… Hm.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey. Hi. Oh, enjoying the last days of summer? Yeah, yeah, you know, just getting in every last lap I can, I guess. An evening swim. Sounds nice. Yeah, the water’s, uh, water’s great. You should take a dip. Yeah, maybe. So, do you have any plans tonight?

There’s a free concert at the park tonight. Japanese take no jumps. Yeah, it’s gonna be kinda cool. Yeah. You wanna go? Um, I’d love to. So I guess this is the date? Yes, it’s a date. Neither a

No, nope, I’m, uh, free as a bird.

Hey girl, what’s up? I heard a rumor that your mom’s the new mayor and Rawlings is out on his ass. Could it be true? Yup, which is good for Salem and especially good for me because I can reopen my bakery. Chanel, that is amazing news! I’m so happy for you. Thank you. I guess mama really did have a plan after all.

Yeah, sure sounds like it. Hey, you know, I completely understand if you can’t make it to the concert tonight. I know you have a million things to do to get Sweet Bits back up and running again. Uh, I do have to do some prep work, but it shouldn’t take long. I can still make our date, if you’re still up for it.

What? Are you kidding? Of course I am. I’ve been looking forward to this all day. So, let’s say I pick you up from the bakery in about 30 minutes? Perfect.

Hey, I heard, uh, on the radio that Victor Kiriakis died in a plane crash. It’s awful, right? To live so long and then die like that? Yeah, you were, uh, you were married to him once upon a time, right? Once upon a time. Indeed. In fact, I was just thinking about him. Our, our marriage. It was miserable. In fact, we totally despised each other.

So that’s a, uh, a celebratory glass of lemonade. Then . At one point in my life, it definitely would’ve been, I probably would’ve danced on his grave. Not busting out the dancing shoes tonight? No, I’m, I’m not. And weirdly, a part of me is gonna miss that old geezer. And he, he wasn’t my least favorite ex husband.

I take it my, uh, dad wasn’t either. He just told me you guys, uh, got engaged again. Congrats, by the way. Yes, we did. And thank you, Johnny. So, you two lovebirds set a date? Not yet, but, uh, your dad went to go get the forms for our marriage license. Oh.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need the forms for a marriage license for Nicole and myself. Are you sure you want to do that? Uh, what’s that supposed to mean? Hey, I’m just trying to offer you some friendly advice. Hmm, because we’ve always been the closest of friends, haven’t we? You having spent the last decade trying to put me behind bars.

It really was nothing personal, but hey, if you don’t want to listen to me, fine. I just think if you want to make a commitment to Nicole, then you should really make sure that’s what you want. Of course it is. I want nothing more. Is that because she’s pregnant? I’m very happy. that Nicole is having my child.

Yes. Not that this is any of your damn business. I’m just throwing it out there that if that’s the only reason why you would like nothing more but to marry her, maybe you should reconsider.

What is it, Sloane? What do you need to tell me? What’s going on? I recently told you that you owe me a favor. I like to think of it more like extortion. You know, I do whatever it is you say I need to do, or you tell Eric that he’s the father of Nicole’s baby. I don’t care what you call it, but your first payment is due today.

I’m telling Eric the moment he gets back, and if I do, then this little hole that you have over me is gonna be zero. Don’t do it. You’ll lose them if you do.

Can I ask you one thing first? Do you love me? Of course. I love you. I wouldn’t have asked you to marry me if I didn’t love you. Now what is going on?

There’s something I have to tell you that I’ve. I’ve been keeping a secret, and I’m really worried that you’re going to be angry, but it can’t wait any longer, so

I just pray you’ll understand. Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Wow. Whatever you’re cooking smells amazing. One of my best and most challenging recipes.

What was that for? Respect the chef. Respect my hunger. Sorry, Jingwen, but you’re going to have to satisfy that hunger someplace else. Because this happens to be a special dinner. for me and a date, which is why I’m going to need you to disappear for the whole evening. Lee, I just worked a 14 hour shift. I don’t want to go out.

Hey, come on. You’re the one who’s always pushing me to focus on my love life. I would think that you would be happy for your older brother and willing to do me this kindness. Fine. But before I disappear, give me the scoop. Who’s the lucky lady?

Melinda. Wait, what? Trask? The one and only. Well, I hope you’re gonna send her through a metal detector before she comes in. Jingwen, please. No, you said you couldn’t trust her. That was then. This is now. We’ve decided to, um, start over. Why? What changed your mind? Hmm. Eh, nothing specific, just that, uh, I think dating Melinda is…

Exactly what I need.

Again, not that it’s any of your damn business, but just for the record, the fact that Nicole is pregnant with my child is not the only reason I’m marrying her. I don’t view this as some sort of obligation. I happen to also love her very much. Oh, my heart melts. But as Shakespeare once wrote, the course of true love never did run smooth.

So before you marry Nicole and you ride off into the sunset together, perhaps you should know the obstacles that may become evident once the sun does set and the two of you are left in the dark. So you light as a poet, do you? Well, I am an orator, after all. A rather infuriating orator who speaks in riddles.

Look, you clearly have something to say to me, so why not stop wasting my time and spit it out? Fine. I suppose you are going to hear about it soon enough anyway.

Sloan. Whatever it is, you can tell me.

First of all, never in my life have I ever cared about anybody the way that I care about you. Which is why I’m so scared. Because it’s the first time I actually have so much to lose. I don’t know how many ways I can tell you this, but I’m not going anywhere. I love you. Tell me what is on your mind.

I should have told you this so much sooner. Sloane!

Sloane, are you… Gosh, are you okay? What’s wrong? I just had this like, this really sharp pain, like really sharp. But it’s, it’s okay. I think it’s… Okay, uh, well, why don’t we go sit down, okay? Okay. I’ll call the doctor, alright? No, no, please, it’s, it’s pretty much gone now. I think I’m okay. Well, I still think we should get it checked out.

No, I just, it’s almost gone. Oh, oh, oh, no, no. Okay, no, no, no, come on. Come on, we gotta get you

to the Just finished up a session with Dr. Evans. Oh, how’s that going? Really well. I think I’m making a lot of progress. It’s probably one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Even if it was court ordered. Well, those sessions wouldn’t be worth anything if you weren’t giving them effort. And you clearly are doing that, so.

Yeah, I’m taking this very seriously. I mean, between therapy and community service, I am determined to make up for my mistakes. Well, it sounds like you’re on your way to doing that. Yeah. The trouble is, nothing of what I’m doing is financially rewarding. Obviously. Yeah, I understand that. Yeah. I mean, I have my sister.

But I can’t lean on her forever. Gotta stand on my own two feet somehow. The only problem is, is the only job I have was Sweet Bits. And… that didn’t end too well. Right. But I mean I have to find something. Something soon. I just don’t know what it is. What? Maybe you could work here.

Hey, ex roomie. Wendy, hey. It’s been a minute, right? Yeah, too long. So, how’s my favorite baker doing? Sorry, I, uh, wasn’t thinking. No, it’s okay. Your favorite baker is actually doing great. Now that I get to bake again. Really? Yes, I am happy to report that Sweet Bits is reopening. Oh, Chanel, that is such great news.

Congratulations! Um, and honestly, it’s such a relief for me because I’ve been having serious apple furter withdrawal. Well, come by tomorrow. I’ll hook you up. You’re the best. And I know just how to repay you. In advance. I was just about to hit up the bistro. How’s dinner with an ex roomie sound? I’m buying.

Okay, I would love to, but I actually already have plans tonight. Oh. Bummer. I was hoping you could keep me company. I’ve been banished from the apartment Trask.

Her? Yeah, that’s the face I made. Weirdly enough, Tripp seems to think she’s not so bad. Well, he sees the best in everyone, which can be pretty annoying at times. Yeah, I can see that. Speaking of, how come your man isn’t taking you to the bistro tonight? Oh, you know, the usual excuse, he’s off saving lives or whatever.

Yeah, but damn, so not only does he see the best in people, but he also does noble work? Yeah, so annoying. I know, right? But all that aside, Tripp is, he’s a really great guy, and so, I’m really happy for you both. Thank you. Yeah, I’m happy too. I just wish Johnny hadn’t gotten hurt in the process. Yeah. But, look, he’ll bounce back soon enough.

Fine old Johnny. And you definitely do. Which is why I was thinking, maybe you could be the one to help him pick up the pieces.

So, does my, uh, mom know that you and my dad are getting hitched again? Oh, is there a knife sticking out of my back? Haha, then no, she doesn’t know. Well, you know, she does live on another continent, so there’s a chance the knife could still be on its way here. Haha, true. You know, if the day had gone differently, she could have had a front row seat to our nuptials.

What do you mean? Well, your dad had the idea to fly to Italy and elope. So we would have asked Sydney to be our witness and possibly Sammy. What, uh, what stopped you guys? I mean, aside from the fact that my mom might, you know, not give you her blessing. That’s not the reason. Actually, your cousin Dimitri took the family jet to Iceland for his honeymoon.

Well, that’s too bad. I mean, you guys could have just flown commercial, right? Ew! Oh, no, no, no, no. The DiMeras do not rub shoulders with peasants, you know that. Right, of course. Well, it was a nice idea. Even if you guys did totally steal it from me. Oh, that’s right. You and Chanel eloped in, in Rome. Yeah. It was the, uh, best day of my life.

Oh. Sounds like you really loved her. To be honest, Nicole, I still do. You know, if this were anyone else, I might feel bad for them. But you are not a nice guy to put it mildly. So I think I’m going to enjoy watching you process when I’m about to tell you which is what? Hold that thought.

Hello? Did you get my text earlier? Uh, no. Sorry. I must have missed it. Well, I have a home cooked meal and a bottle of red wine with your name on it. Hoping you would grace me with your lovely presence for dinner. When? That would be good. A little late notice, don’t you think? Well, I did text you earlier, but hey, I know you’re a busy woman.

I just really like to see you tonight. I thought maybe you’d want to see me too. But I understand if you have something more important going on.

Colinda? You still there? Sorry, yeah. So what do you think? Should I text you my address? You don’t want to let all my hard work go to waste, do you? Okay, yeah. That dinner sounds lovely. I’ll be there soon. Great. I’ll see you when you get here. Finally. So why are you hinting that I shouldn’t marry Nicole? Are you cooking up some false charges against her I should know about?

You know what? Forget I said anything. Are you kidding me? After all that? I am so glad we got a chance to talk. We should really do it again sometime. Ta ta. Oh ho ho. You know, your father and I got divorced twice, which I’m sure you know, and somehow we found our way back to each other, and maybe the same thing will happen for you and Chanel.

Yeah, that’s what I was hoping. And I was ready to… Tell Chanel how I feel, but unfortunately somebody beat me to the punch. Who? Talia Hunter. Jada’s sister? That’s the one. Yeah, I heard them, uh, making plans to go on a date tonight. So I just, you know, kept my mouth shut. Slipped away before anybody knew I was there.

That’s crazy. Talia tried to destroy Chanel’s life. Why would she agree to go out with her? No clue. No clue. But it seems like all is just, you know, forgiven, so that’s, that’s good. That’s stupid. After everything she did to Chanel, how could, how could she be trusted again? Yeah, I don’t get it either, but bottom line is, I missed my chance and now I have to move on.

Hey, maybe Wendy’s brother can set me up with his matchmaker. Matchmaker? You don’t need a matchmaker. And why are you giving up so easily on Chanel? Unless I checked, you are a DiMera. I don’t know. Chanel seems pretty into Talia. That’s because she doesn’t know you’re an option. Why don’t you throw your hat in the ring?

Let her decide for herself.

You think Johnny and I should get back together? Well, why not? You two were married, after all. That feels like a lifetime ago, but it’s obvious you two still have a connection. I mean, it’s partly why I ended up choosing Tripp. Wait, what? What are you talking about? Johnny didn’t tell you? No, he didn’t say anything.

Well, it felt like every time I turned around… He was running off to spend time with you. As much as he said he wanted to be with me, it was clear you were his main priority. Oh my god, Wendy. I am so sorry. I never wanted to come between you and Johnny. No, please. It’s fine. I know it wasn’t intentional. And anyway, it made me realize that…

Trip is the man I want to be

with. Oh. I’m glad. But I think you misunderstood. Johnny, he was just being a good friend to me. Nothing more. You sure about that? He said the same thing, but I’m pretty sure he has unresolved feelings for you. You really think that? Yeah. I do. So? What about you? Do you still have feelings for him?

Yes! I would love to work here! What positions do you have open? Well, um, considering you have your medical degree, I was thinking, I don’t know. A doctor? Wait, are you kidding? You would want me to practice medicine here after everything that I did? You realize they call me the Biscuit Bandit, right? Who called you that?

It was in the Lady Whistleblower column. Oh, I should have guessed that. Look, I’m not saying that your criminal record won’t be an issue. Um, and it’s definitely not my sole decision. But as you and I were just discussing, you are working hard to repay your debt to society. And I am a firm believer in second chances.

So I will definitely go to bat for you. Mom! Kayla, seriously, thank you so much. Seriously, thank you. And I promise, if this happens, I’m gonna work my ass off. I have no doubt. Okay? Hey listen, I heard that you were first in your class, so… I’m going to keep an eye on you. I won’t let you down. Okay. I’ll let you

know what happens. Okay. What’s wrong with Sloane? I’m done. I’m

done. Forget Sloane Peterson. I will get the goods on me. All by myself. If I can sweep Melinda off her feet, hopefully she won’t prosecute me. I’ve just got to turn up the charm.

Showtime.

Wow. You look… You’re not so bad yourself. Please, uh, come in. Come in. I know I didn’t give you much notice, but, I’m thrilled you’re here. As am I. When I called you earlier, you, uh, sounded like you were in the middle of something. I hope I didn’t pull you away from anything important. Oh, no, nothing important.

I was just, uh, talking with E. J. DiMera. I ran into him at the pub. Ah, I see. So, of a little importance, other than his self importance. Ha, ha, ha. What about good looks and a sense of humor, Hunt? Oh, I try. Um, yeah, he was his pompous ass self. And he was a little testy, as Well,

it happened the slightest. I mean, it’s merely congratulating him on his engagement to Nicole Walker.

Johnny, you really should tell Chanel how you feel. You have so much history. Yeah, but… The whole love triangle thing hasn’t really worked out very well for me, as you know. I mean, I… I lost Chanel to Ally, then I lost Wendy to Tripp. I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but three strikes and you’re out. And I just don’t think my fragile ego could take it.

Yeah, rejection can be demoralizing to say the least. Trust me, I know. I mean, I feel like I’ve spent my whole life playing second fiddle and, and being a perennial loser in love. But you cannot give up. I didn’t. And look at me.

I don’t know. Honestly, I feel like it would be best for everyone if I just back off. Donnie, Donnie. You just said that marrying Chanel was the best day of your life. Isn’t it worth fighting for more days like that? For love? Well, earlier this

year I did feel a spark with Donnie and me. But I was with Allie and I didn’t want to cross any lines. And then, when things blew up with Allie anyway, Johnny was involved with you. I think that Johnny and I might have missed our moment. Well, what about now?

You both are free. Moments can come back around. True. But, the plans that I have tonight, they are actually with Talia. It is our first official date. Talia? The girl who? Yes, the girl who. I’ve, I’ve heard the speech several times. Okay, sorry, I didn’t mean to. No, no, it’s okay. You are right to question it. I did myself, but what happened before, Talia, she was being manipulated by her boyfriend, and she’s truly sorry for what she did.

You don’t have to justify it. If you like Talia, that’s cool. I’m happy for you. I just thought there could be something with you and Johnny. Well, I think you might be off base about his feelings. He hasn’t said anything to me. And, I don’t know, maybe it’s best to move forward and not backward.

Well, I hope things work out with Talia. Thanks. You know what? It’s actually funny. She should be here by now. I wonder what’s keeping her. Soon, soon. Please honey, wake up. No, no, no. She’s not breathing. I don’t, I don’t feel a pulse. Oh my god, okay! Somebody please help us over here! Hey, I’m a doctor, okay? Just give me some space.

Okay. Alright. Please. Please help. Hey, she’s pregnant.

Please help her. What’s going on here? Oh, uh, she, uh, she was hit with a sharp pain. But then she said it was okay, but then it kept happening. So I, I brought her in and then she just collapsed. Kayla, she wasn’t breathing. No, it’s okay. She has a pulse. Oh, good. I’m so sorry, Dr. Johnson. There was literally nobody else around.

Look, don’t apologize. You saved her life. But I’ll take it from here. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Come on

baby, you stay with me. Oh, something wrong? Uh, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don’t feel anything. Okay, well, try right here. No. Nothing. Oh, maybe it’s my imagination. Anyway, how did things go at the courthouse? Oh, they didn’t. By the time I got there, they were closed. I’ll have to go back tomorrow for that form. Oh, that’s too bad. I thought you left here with plenty of time to spare.

I did, but then Melinda Trask turned up. What now? We had the strangest encounter. Oh, I’m intrigued. Do tell. I mentioned to her that you and I were engaged and she implied, and not that subtly, that there was some reason why I shouldn’t marry you.

You know, this is so lovely. I can’t remember the last time someone cooked for me. Shame on your previous beau. Oh, it’s the least I could do. Since you were generous enough to forgive me for literally running out on you. Well, I can’t blame you. I tried to trick you into confessing to a crime you didn’t commit.

I thank you for forgiving me for that. Even Steven. You know, I have to admit, I sometimes have problems prioritizing. I focus so much on my job that I let it get in the way of my personal life. Mmm, I completely understand. My life was all about DiMera Enterprises. Every decision I made revolved around that damn company.

But, now that I’ve… Taking a step back, I finally feel free. Maybe I should try doing that too. Putting work on the back burner and concentrating on the things that really matter. Don’t tell me you’re going to start saving the whales. No, screw the whales. I’m talking about love. Hmm. Well. Having dinner with me is a step in the right direction.

Wouldn’t you say? I think it’s a little early to be calling this love. Hmm. Yes. What about… A healthy attraction. It’s awfully clinical, don’t you think? I suppose it is. Well then, how about a lustful desire? Lustful desire? Did you ride in here on your noble steed, shirtless and glistening? I could if you wanted me to.

So you desire me, huh? If you have to ask, I must be doing this all wrong. Let me fix that.

Well, I have plenty of time to hang out thanks to my brother. So why don’t I keep you company until Talia gets here? No, that’d be great. Thank you. Hey, guys.

Hey, Johnny. You know, I was just about to leave, but, uh, it’s good to see you. Wendy.

Something I said? No, no, she just thinks. Never mind. Okay, uh, well hey, I heard um, That Abe appointed your mom as the new mayor, So I guess that means you get to reopen Sweet Bits, huh? First thing tomorrow. Alright, you must be busy, are you uh, Spending the rest of the night getting things ready? No, actually, I have…

A date. And I know you’re not gonna approve, but it’s with… Talia. How did you know that? I, uh, I, I, I went by your place this morning and I, I, I just, I heard you two making plans, so, oh, well why didn’t you say anything? Didn’t want to interrupt the moment. Oh, well that was very considerate. A few. Yeah. But I’m curious, why did you stop by?

I went to your place this morning because there’s something that I want to talk to you about. About what? Well, I have been thinking a lot and… Chanel! Hey Johnny. Oh, Natalia. Chanel, I am so sorry that I’m late. Long story short, let’s just say… I’ve had a day. Okay, well, don’t worry about it. Um, we can still make it before the concert starts if we hurry, and we can hopefully get a good spot.

Uh, but first, you were about to say something. Oh. No, no, um, it was nothing important. You guys go, go, uh, make sure you get a good spot. Are you sure? Yeah, yeah, go. Okay, well, um, thank you. And, uh, we’ll, we’ll talk later. Yeah, you guys have a good time.

Alright, thank you, Johnny. See ya.

Should we take this to the bedroom? You don’t want to finish dinner? I mean, you went through so much trouble. Mostly so we could get to this part of the evening. So, you had an ulterior motive, huh? Was I being presumptuous?

Last will is desire indeed.

Wait, wait, get the wine.

Did Melinda say why you shouldn’t marry me? She was very cryptic about it. And when I pressed her to just spit it out, she was called away. Said I’d find out another time. Bizarre. I don’t suppose you have any idea what she was talking about? No, I don’t. I mean… She was pretty pissed off when she caught me tampering with witness during Rafe’s trial.

Maybe she wants to bring up charges again, but it was over a year ago. Maybe it has nothing to do with you at all. Melinda Trask is certainly no fan of mine. Maybe she’s just playing mind games. Or maybe she wants us to be as miserable as she is. You know what? I wouldn’t give it another thought. Happily.

Yeah. Okay. The baby kicked. I know for sure this time. A little flutter? Amazing! Oh, gosh. I still can’t believe this is happening for me. And for us. Believe it, darling.

I love you.

I love you, too. Is the baby okay?

Sorry, but there’s no heartbeat. The baby didn’t make it. Oh, God.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, wow. You’re not the last person I expected to see knocking at my door. Is Eric here? No, he’s out. I came to talk to you alone.

Why? What’s going on? I recently told you that you owe me a favor. I like to think of it more like extortion, you know. I do whatever it is you say I need to do, or you tell Eric that he’s the father of Nicole’s family. I don’t care what you call it, but your first payment is due today.

Wow, you have an odd look on your face. What happened? It’s

You don’t used to spy on people. Chloe, I’m not, I wasn’t spying on you, okay? You need time to consider, consider Xander’s proposal. You’re going to consider marrying a kidnapping Neanderthal. A Neanderthal that left you with a drug lord to die. Okay, I’m going to leave you two to talk. No, no, don’t. This is not going to take long.

This is none of your business. Be honest with me. Is he, is he drugging you or something? Is that why you can’t remember how he treats women? Oh, Brady, come on. Don’t. Not just women, not just women. I mean, that’s how he treats everyone. He’s inherently violent. You know, I went to go talk to him as an adult to apologize for, for, for kissing you.

He didn’t know that. Yeah, and his immediate response was to hit me. He hit me, all right? That’s who he is and that’s how he rolls, hello? My God, you two. Victor is dead. And all you can find to do is fight about me?

Where’s Belle? Does she know? What, that I’m here drinking? I don’t know. I mean, why don’t you go find her and tell her? No. Does she know what happened to Victor? Hey, what do you think? I mean, doesn’t everybody know by now? Well, and… Why isn’t she here with you? It doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. I mean, he’s dead, he’s dead one way or the other.

Just an observation. You don’t seem to be taking this very well. Well, that’s an astute observation. And no, I’m not taking this well, and I’m… You know what, as a matter of fact, I’m taking this very badly because this is my fault. Victor died in the plane crash. How can this possibly be your fault? Look, he was on that plane because I put my dad, my dad, his son, in a coma.

And then he had to spend the last four months of his life miserable because of me, and now… Look, and now he’s dead because of me. That doesn’t even make sense. Hey, who the hell asked you, huh? I’m sorry, I I I shouldn’t have blurted it out like that, I… I was pretty shocked myself. It’s okay, I… I had to know, I I had to find out.

What happened? Well, he was flying back from Greece and his, his plane went down. Oh my God, that’s horrible. Yeah. And

I can’t believe this is hitting me so hard. Well, it’s shocking. And you would hope at his age, he could have died peacefully. And you were also married to him. I’m sure that there were some good memories from that time. No, actually there weren’t. We weren’t exactly a love match.

For God’s sake, Victor. The fashion show is for charity. It would make you look good if I did it. I will not have you burying your assets in public. Why don’t you just go all the way and have me branded? Exclusive property of Victor Kiriakis. Don’t think I haven’t considered it. Bastard. Murderer. You live to make me miserable.

It’s what you richly deserve. I can’t believe the things you said to me still sting after all these years. Ugh. I wonder if those two have caught up in the great beyond yet. Who needs a devil when you can torment each other for the rest of eternity? God, they’d love to hate each other. Mm hmm.

Maybe you haven’t heard, but Abe Carver is going to resume his duties as mayor. Abe got his memory back? No, it’s a scam. He’s going to be mayor just long enough to appoint his successor, Paulina. What? And how the hell does that woman qualify? I have no idea, but it is definitely happening, and it puts me in an awkward position.

I went after Paulina and Chanel pretty hard over what happened to your parents. And now you think she’s going to fire you? Yeah, wouldn’t you? I mean, that woman HATES me, and she would love for the chance to show me how much. You know what I mean, payback’s a bitch. You’re damn right. So how are you gonna fend her off?

With a headline grabbing case and a high profile defendant. Sounds like a plan. I already have both, actually. The attempt on Stefan DiMera’s life and the man behind it. Lee Shin. Well, that sounds surefire if you had any proof. But, didn’t you already come up short handed trying to do that? Yeah, I tried. And I failed miserably.

As you already know. But if no proof is the one thing standing in my way, then… I’m not too worried about that. Or no? No. Because that’s where you come in.

Sean, uh, how about we get some air? Uh, this feels just like air to me. Dammit Sean, this is a public place, and you were suspended for drinking. Okay, but didn’t you hear? Didn’t you hear that, uh, when I came back from my suspension, I got promoted, so, now, I am the police commissioner, and, I’m thinking that, hey, maybe if I keep this up, they’re gonna make me mayor.

If you keep this up, you could lose Bell. Oh, don’t you, don’t you have a baby on the way or something? I mean, here, actually. I have a suggestion. How about you go to your soon to be baby mama, and you go see if she has any Any cravings and get the hell out of here, okay?

Can I get you anything? Any… Any cravings? Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Name it. Three dry martinis. I know I can’t, so you are going to have to drink enough for both of us. I’ll do what I can.

He, oh, Victor was such a son of a bitch. No argument there. He treated me like dirt. No, in fact, worse. He treated me like… Well, like, I deserved. But, um, I’m gonna miss him. I can’t think about Salem without him. I know. He was so damned… Alive. And funny.

You know, I was infuriated because he would say something awful to me, and then I had to steal myself not to laugh. And I’m sure you never said anything scathing back to him. Oh, I tried. But I just, I was no match for him.

And I’m sure you’re really enjoying me talking about my ex husband. I don’t mind. In fact, I don’t mind you going on and on about anything. Yeah? You sure about that? Nicole, you are a femme formidable. You don’t bring much tranquility, domestic tranquility, to the table, but I’m never bored. Ever even close.

Let’s get married. What? Let’s get married. Uh, we’re not getting married. Now. Now? Why? I don’t know. Well, because we haven’t planned anything yet. We don’t even know where we’re getting married. None, none of that matters. What matters is that we get married as soon as possible and live every day as if it was our last.

Let’s take everything we’ve learned from our collective disastrous marriages and apply the odds. Make it work. For starters… I’ll stop being an imperious jerk. And you… Yes? You stay exactly the same.

Nicole,

we could have the time of our lives.

I’m not a detective, Melinda. How am I supposed to dig up evidence on Shin whenever you and your whole office couldn’t? I don’t need you to be a detective. I need your talents as a lawyer. Lee’s lawyer, specifically. Look, now I really don’t understand you. If I take on… Shin, I’m gonna do everything in my power to get him acquitted, I don’t understand how that helps you.

You’re right. It won’t. Come on, Peterson. Think it through. Oh

my god. You want me to help you to convict my own client?

There was no fight. I mean, it was over before it began. We… Put that all aside when we started talking about granddad. We actually hugged, which I’m sure my grandfather got a good laugh about.

How’s, how’s, um, how’s Sean taking it? Uh, he’s taking it pretty badly. He’s just blaming himself. He’s getting really good at blaming himself these days. I wish he would have been with you and Xander. Maybe you could have made him see how wrong he is.

Sarah, I know we’re divorced, but… That’s still my kid. You had no right to keep this from me. Santa… If Victor hadn’t died… If you didn’t have to be with your mother right now… Were you ever going to tell me? How long was I going to have to wait? Like a year? More? Forever? I’m going to be a father and you weren’t even going to tell me?

You’re not going to be a father.

I, I didn’t tell you because it’s none of your business.

The baby isn’t yours. It’s Rex’s.

Rex? Rex got you pregnant? He does have all the working parts. That’s not what I meant. Lucky you. Looked like you were ready to deliver. Certainly far enough along that you must have gotten pregnant before you left Salem. Meaning… Meaning what? Rex and I didn’t get involved until I got to Chicago, but… Yeah, there was once here in Salem before I moved.

Sometimes once is all it takes. Please, yeah, Maggie told me that you’d gotten rid of that jerk, but… It’s a bit convenient, isn’t it? Once, with Rex, versus, what, how many times when we were together? You know, I don’t really recall. I’ve been trying to forget. The odds are overwhelming that I’m the father. How can you be so sure that I’m not?

Is everything okay? Uh, yeah, it’s just something I need to take care of. Um, listen. Stop badgering her about Xander, okay? It’s completely non productive on a million different levels. Right. Promise. Promise. Okay. And you keep me posted. I will. Alright. Bye.

That look in your eyes says you’re not going to keep your promise. How can I? Alright, alright, look, um, part of promise. Part of my reaction is jealousy, okay? How can I not be at this point? I’m not… I’m jealous if you go out with a guy on a Friday night, let alone a guy you’re living with, let alone a guy you’re thinking about marrying, okay?

But we’re not just talking about a guy, we’re talking about Xander Cook Kiriakis. I know who he is, I know that he’s dangerous, and he’s got the moral code of a KGB agent. And by the way, to top it all off… He did not propose to you because he’s in love with you. He proposed to you… because he can’t have Sarah.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Ugh. I thought you were gonna be going. I’m not leaving without you.

Come on. Let me drive you home. We’ll pick it up from there. Are you ever going to get the message? I said, leave me the hell alone.

So my office officially informs Lee that he is the subject of an investigation. He’ll need a lawyer. That’s where you come in. You’ve represented him before, so you already have a relationship. Get him to hire you, and then it’s just a matter of passing along what you learn from him so I can use it against him.

Do you mean it’s a question of me losing my license and giving birth in prison? Don’t be so melodramatic. We’re talking about a felony here, and you’re the D. A.! They’ll throw the book at me, God, they’ll throw the entire law library at you one volume at a time! I have no choice! My back is against the wall!

If I pull When I pull this off I’ll be all over the papers. Paulina won’t be able to touch me, and if she even tries, it’ll be seen as an abuse of power. You can’t be serious. If I don’t employ this very strategic strategy, then I’ll be out on the street. Everything that I built will be gone. I need this, Sloan.

My job is my life. Yeah, there’s gotta be another way. I’m sorry. I’m all ears. What other way? I don’t know, but I can’t do this.

Okay. So I guess you’re okay with Eric finding out that Nicole is pregnant with his baby.

You want to elope. Tonight. Think about it. What are Salem weddings like? The Hindenburg. And when we get married, we want to be surrounded by people we love and trust, and who are happy that we are together. And there are only two people in this world who check all those boxes. You, and me. So we trust each other, huh?

Come on, Nicole. It could be fun. You remember fun, don’t you?

Let me start being the husband you deserve. Tonight.

You’d do that? You would tell Eric the truth because I won’t break ten laws to help you? I would be the one investigating you. No one’s going to find out anything. I thought we were friends. I know your back’s against the wall, but this is too much. You can’t ask me to do something like this. Ask me anything else.

But this is all I need. I won’t do it.

You’re gonna call my bluff? You think I won’t tell Eric? I hope you won’t. But even if you do, it’s not gonna go your way. Because Eric and I are growing closer every day. How sweet. But it’s more than that. Nicole’s not the only one carrying Eric’s baby. He might be upset, yes. But he won’t leave me. We’re gonna work through it.

You want that to be true? Are you really ready to risk finding out for sure?

Come on Sean, we gotta get you out of here! Eric, stop! No! Yes! I guess I’ll get

going. Look, Eric, I asked you to stop. Yeah, yeah, you’re right, you did. By the way, I, I still owe you.

Are you okay? Why does everybody keep asking me that? And what the hell are you doing here? Oh, oh, Eric, Eric, Eric called you. You know, come get your drunk husband, right? Nosey son of a bitch. He called me because he cares. Because that’s the kind of person he is. Because if something’s wrong, he’s going to try to make it right.

So, you want to elope. Now. That’s what I’ve been saying. I pick up that phone and the Demira jet is warming up on the tarmac, ready to take us to… Where? Rome. Florence. So you want to fly to Italy tonight? Yes. Okay. Bring Holly. She’ll love it. Sydney is there. We’ll ask them both to be flower girls. Well, then that would involve Sammy.

Don’t tell me you wouldn’t enjoy rubbing Sammy’s nose in it. Think of… Think of how beautiful we could make this. We’ll get married in a Tuscan village where we don’t know anybody and nobody knows us. No distractions, no interruptions. It will be as if Salem doesn’t exist.

Now don’t tell me you’re not just a little bit…

Tempted.

Call the damn plane.

What?! Look, Victor is dead and my mom is an absolute wreck. So you will have to excuse me if I don’t feel up to standing here and being grilled about something that has nothing to do with you. Please just tell me this. How can you be so sure? Because math. Weeks went by between the last time you and I had sex and Rex and I sleeping together.

Why do you think we got together in Chicago? Why are we together now? We, we found out about the baby and we decided it was fate. Why do you even care? Are you kidding? No! You’re with Chloe now. And my mom and Bonnie said that it’s pretty serious, so. Well yeah, you could say that. I just asked her to marry me.

So, you’re okay with being Xander’s second choice? No, what I’m saying is that Xander’s past with Sarah is a part of who he is. Just like my past with you is a part of who I am. And my past with Phillip, for that matter. And I’m not with you because of that whole mess with Rachel. And I’m not with Phillip because…

Well, he’s gone. And Xander fell in love with the me that went through all of that. And we have a great thing going and nothing is standing in our way. Except me. Careful. You’ll give him a reason to punch you again. I might punch him back next time. Listen, nothing’s gonna keep me from speaking the truth.

I’m sorry. Everything you just said to me, Chloe, sounds like a rationalization. It’s a hell of a way to start a lifetime commitment. That is so not fair. I don’t, I’m not worried about being fair right now. I just want you to wake up. Have you even thought about why you haven’t been able to say yes yet? Why you need more time to think about it?

Oh, there’s a reason, Chloe, and there’s still time. You can still say no. You know what I don’t have time for? This. Chloe, come on. What? What am I gonna stick around for so you can condescend to me some more? Thanks, but no thank you.

Sean, I came down here because you lost your grandfather. And because I am so scared that you’re gonna spiral down out of guilt again. You’ve done all this work with my mom. You’ve made so much progress. Please, please don’t throw that away. Look, Belle, all of the therapy sessions in the world is never gonna change the fact that this, this is my fault.

Okay, what if that were true? Which it’s not. Does it help anything for you to crawl inside a bottle? Doesn’t that do more damage to you and the people that love you? I don’t know, Belle. I just don’t think I’m as strong as you and Eric think I am.

You think Eric won’t forgive me because you never forgive anybody for anything. But you two are nothing alike. If I explain it, he’ll understand. You’re making a mistake. Go. Just leave. I’m telling Eric, the moment he gets back… And if I do, then this you have over me is gonna be zero. Don’t do it. You’ll lose him if you do.

That’s my problem, not yours.

Ah,

spoke too soon. Dimitri took the jet for his honeymoon to Iceland. Presumptuous jerk. That’s too late for a commercial flight tonight. So the elopement is off? No, no, no. We just need to be flexible. We’ll elope to Salem. You stay here. I’ll go down to City Hall and grab the forms we need for the license. And after that, we’ll get married as soon as I can practically make it happen.

I shall return.

Oh, I shouldn’t have said that thing about the Hindenburg.

You and Chloe are getting married. That was fast. Not as fast as you and Rex. Well, we had motivation. So when’s the big day? Chloe’s still thinking about it. But, I’m certain she’s going to say yes. Sooner than later, she… Loves me for who I am. She knows all the terrible things I’ve done. She… She is very understanding.

Or she has no standards whatsoever. Sorry, that was uncalled for. Look, are we done here? I’ll tell my mom that you stopped by. But it’s been a very long day, and I am exhausted. Well, I guess all that’s left to do is to wish you and Rex all the best with the baby. Thanks. Just be sure to let me know if he pops out of the Scottish accent.

You said what you came to say, and I, I mean, I love the fact that you have so much faith in me, but, listen, I’m not going anywhere, so please just leave me in peace, alright?

No. Did you hear what I said? Yeah, I heard you. But I’m not going anywhere. My place is here with you, so you can drink yourself into oblivion if that’s what you need to do. Well, I’m not gonna do it alone.

What situation is about to change? Are you thinking about removing Phillip as CEO? No, of course not. The problem is Chloe Lane. As I always knew it would be. There’s only one way to get Phillip’s head back into the business. How would that be? Remove Chloe Lane from the equation. Simple as that. What do you mean, kick her out of here?

No, I won’t have to. I don’t want you to steal her away from Philip. You’re wrong about her, Granddad. I just wish she were still around so I could prove

it to

you. Oh, hey! Oh, hey, you’re back. Uh, did you see Maggie? Uh, no, she was, uh, she was resting. But, um, I’m just gonna go see her tomorrow. Okay. That poor woman. I never thought Victor was good enough for her, but he and Maggie were crazy about each other. And she was so devoted to him. Yeah, she was. Actually, I’ve been thinking a lot about Maggie.

That in spite of Victor’s past and… All the things he did that she disapproved of, she took a chance that her love and devotion would make him a better man, and she went ahead and married him. I mean, it all worked out for them, right? Victor and Maggie were very happy together. Definitely. So, his thinking about all that…

Inspired you in any way? Actually… I have been inspired to emulate Maggie and say yes to you. Did I just say what I think I just heard? If you heard that I can’t wait to be your wife, then you heard right.

Shhh Rex? Hey.

It’s hard. Mom’s really struggling. But that’s not why I’m calling. Um,

I wanted to say yes to us getting married. The sooner the better. Shhh

Well, at least this time around has got to be better than that.

Watch where you’re going! I could say the same thing about you, but instead of getting into a big debate about it, I’ll simply say, I’m sorry, now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get some forms for a marriage license for Nicole and myself. Are you sure you wanna do that? What’s that supposed to mean?

Oh, you having wine open? I don’t know if this is ironic or hypocritical, but I just spent that, no, I squandered the last half an hour trying to get Sean to stop drinking and now I’d kill for a drink.

Eric? Well, Belle’s with him now, so maybe she’ll get through to him.

What’s, what’s wrong? Did something happen?

Eric, there’s something I have to tell you.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sonny, it’s, it’s me. Um, I hope I didn’t wake you up.

I’m, uh, I’m afraid I have some, some bad news. It’s about your uncle, Victor. There’s been an accident.

Oh, what is it? What happened? Uh, my dad said that they, they found the wreckage of the Titan jet in the Mediterranean and they recovered Victor’s remains. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, that can’t be true. It is, honey. I’m so sorry. Oh, my God. I wouldn’t… Even when I found out that he was missing, I never… I never thought that…

Look, he… he was supposed to be home last night, and… And I blew off his homecoming dinner because I didn’t want to see him. And now I… Look, now I’m never going to see him again.

Kate? Hi, Kate. I heard about Victor. I’m, I’m so sorry. It was such a shock. Yes, it was. And I know it’s been years since the two of you were married, but… You shared a child together. And you buried that child together. So I’m sure that right now you’re thinking about both him and Philip.

You have no idea.

I know I haven’t been the best uncle to you in the last few years. But you have proven to me that you are a true Kidiakis. And of that I’m very proud. That means the world to me, Uncle. I appreciate the help you’ve given me with Sarah and Maggie. And for that reason I want you to have this.

Is that from the old country? Yes, this coin belonged to Yorgos Kiriakis. My father. Your grandfather. He used to give one to the children that he loved. On their wedding day. He would say, as long as you carry this, your family will carry you. I know if your father was here, he’d want you to have one. I don’t know what to say.

Thank you so much. Go get ready for your wedding

day.

Henderson said you were not to be disturbed, but I thought… I thought maybe you could use a friend.

Oh, honey. Oh, honey. Like

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

Well, you’re right. Victor’s death, it hit me harder than I thought it would. That’s not surprising. You and Phillip and Victor were family once, and… Now, losing Victor, I imagine it’s bringing back the pain of losing your son.

You know, I figured it out a long time ago. Figured out what? Why I was never as close to Victor as, say, Phillip, or Brady, or Sierra. Honey, don’t do this to yourself. No, it all started when I was born. When my parents named me, they named me after the man who raised my father, and they didn’t name me after Victor.

Why would you go there now? Honey, even if that was true, how could you have helped what your parents named you? Do you remember, do you remember when Claire was a baby? When Philip and I were both so in love with you? Do you remember when Victor and Kate covered up Claire’s paternity so that Philip would think that she was his kid and not mine?

Listen, my grandfather, he didn’t give a damn how bad that hurt me. Or you. Or Claire.

I always looked up to you, Victor. Even when people told me that you were a crook and a criminal, somehow I thought you had morals. I respected you. How stupid was I? Sean, come on. I don’t want to hear you talk. I don’t want you to explain. All you’re going to do is lie. Then why are you here? I am here because I want you to feel exactly the same way I feel right now.

I lost my child and now you are going to lose yours. And your grandson and your great granddaughter. Sean. Listen, that was a long time ago. You and Victor have moved past that. You had a really good relationship with him in the end. I don’t know, Belle. I just don’t know.

I keep trying to remember the final conversation in my mind. Just trying to remember the last thing I said to him.

Was it I love you?

Or was it, um, Don’t forget your raincoat. Darling. Darling. Victor knew you loved him. And that man loved you so much. You were the light of his life. You

know it’s no secret that our families disapproved of our relationship early on. But we knew we had something special. So we hung in there and here we are. About to start the next leg of our life together. Most people think of me as a man who’s rich and powerful. You saw me as a man who was humbled by the fact that an amazing woman like you loves me.

I promise to spend the rest of my life making you happy. And proving myself worthy of your love.

He made me so happy, Julie. So happy.

I’m sorry to interrupt. It’s fine. I wanted to, uh, wanted to make sure you knew about Victor. Yeah, Justin told me. Actually, I was, I was gonna go and try and see Maggie. Sandy, um, I just came from there. She wants to be alone right now. Oh, yeah, of course. I’ll try and see you later then.

Is there something else you wanted?

Look, it’s easy to forget that we’re family. But we are family. So out of respect for Granddad, I, uh, I wanted to apologize to you. For what? For, for, for kissing Chloe. Wait, you did what, Max? She didn’t tell you about it? No, she didn’t tell me. Why did you kiss Chloe? Because I wasn’t thinking, alright? And I was upset because I just lost Rachel.

And yes, admittedly, I was trying to talk her out of marrying you. Oh, you absolute bastard!

Why are you being so nice to me? It’s kind of adding to my paranoia that the entire universe is off kilter.

Uh, maybe you’re not being paranoid. Maybe the universe is off kilter. I kind of feel the same way too. I’m just thinking… To when I met Philip way back in high school. Victor hating me was one of the few constants in my life.

She’s dealing with Medusa here. She destroys anyone she comes in contact with. Victor. I’m not exaggerating, Maggie. What she’s done to my family. She’s hurt Phillip, and Daniel, and Brady, and your family. Poor Lucas almost drank himself to death because of her. No! Not because of her! People drink because they choose to.

Lucas let his demons take control of him, yes. And yes, Chloe betrayed him. But he survived, and he forgave her. Because he, uh, he understood something. Something that you obviously don’t. Chloe is a human being. With a heart, and a soul, and feelings just like the rest of us. Oh, that’s debatable. And right now she needs help.

Oh, right now she needs a place to regroup until she decides whose life she’s gonna destroy next. Oh, God. I can’t imagine what he would say about Xander and me. What about Xander and you? Oh, you didn’t know. I thought everyone did. But we are in a relationship. We originally moved in together for convenience sake.

But then things just kind of progressed. Wow. And I’m sure your ex Brady is handling that with infinite maturity and restraint. Am I right?

Sorry, this is, uh, all we have on hand. I know. Well, I’m sorry, Brady. I… I shouldn’t have lost my temper like that. It’s all right. Yeah, I think probably I deserve that one, Xander. Just so you know, by the way, Chloe shut me down. I mean, she told me she’s moving on and she’s not looking back, so… Yeah, if that was really the case, then she would have accepted my proposal by now, wouldn’t she?

No, not necessarily. Look, she… Xander, you haven’t been together for a long time. It’s you don’t know. It’s you. Both of you. You and Philip. Victor’s golden boys. I don’t think she’ll ever get over the feelings she has for either of you.

Well, I wish you were here too, Sonny. But we just have to remember and be thankful for all the years we spent with your Uncle Victor, especially these last few years.

I love you too, son.

Justin. Honey.

I know you felt you had to be strong for Sonny. No.

Honey, you don’t have to be strong for me. Baby. Oh, baby. Baby. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Shawn, you cannot possibly doubt Victor’s love for you. You told me that he regretted lying about Claire and that he apologized to you. And you forgave him. Yeah, but do you, do you think that he was ever going to forgive me for shooting my father? Yes, I do.

I think Victor knew in his heart that what happened to your dad was a terrible accident. But I didn’t pull the trigger by accident, Belle. Look, and now my grandfather, he’s, he’s never going to be able to hug his son, Beau, or, or hear his voice ever again. Honey. You know, and that’s another reason, that’s another reason why I can’t forgive myself.

I was thinking of Belle. When we all found out for the first time that you and Victor had fallen in love. How wrong we were. Wrong? We thought it would never last. You were such different people. Yeah. That we were. But it did last. Because of you. Because you were the only person in the world that always told Victor the truth.

Kept him honest. Well, mostly. Yeah, mostly.

You held his family together. You held the company together. And you brought out the best in him.

A Victor Kiriakis ornament on the Horton Christmas tree for years. That’s because of you. Maybe. He brought out the best in me, Julie.

I was so consumed with grief when I lost Mickey.

I was just existing. I wasn’t living. And then Victor came along. I remember being young

and stupid. Like it was yesterday. Some boy smiles and all common sense just flies out the window. Some redhead turns you down, you don’t sleep for a week.

Around you,

I feel young, and stupid,

and mixed up, and angry, and happy, and scared, curious. I can’t help it. Around you, I feel alive.

Mickey would be so furious with me. If I turn my back on that. Are

you saying… It’s hard to fend you off, Victor. I’ve tried. I… I think this lunch was my way of saying

that I’m giving up trying.

Do you need

a handkerchief? What you said makes me happy and I don’t give a damn if I’m a little emotional about it.

And you can trust me, I won’t tell Brady or Phillip, uh, Henderson, Kate, that you aren’t really as tough as you seem. You really enjoy torturing me, don’t you? I do. I really do. Ha! I’m so happy too, Victor. I like looking forward, wondering what’s going to happen. I can tell you one thing that’s going to happen.

We are going to have fun. Thank you. Thank you, Horton, my dreams. No, Victor, don’t toast me. To

us and the future.

The future.

When I lost Mickey, I thought I would never fall in love again. You still… wrong and disloyal to even think about another man romantically

when you say that vowel hmm when you say those words till death do us part

you’re not thinking about the day when that will inevitably happen

the pain of losing Mickey

Even if I had been interested in another relationship.

You were just trying to protect your heart. From feeling that kind of grief, that terrible deep grief again. Yes. Yes, that’s it exactly.

But Victor, he made me realize that it was, it was worth it.

No, don’t be sorry, honey.

This is so cool. When was this taken? Oh, I don’t know. Obviously a long time ago. Well, Victor didn’t change much over the years, did he? Um, I don’t know about that. He actually mellowed as he got older. That was mellow. We should have known before. When, uh, when Andrea and I first got together, he really, really did not like her.

And he was determined to drive a wedge between us. Until in the end, he decided to just, uh, swallow his pride. He gave us his blessing.

You know, Justin, all my adult life I’ve dreamed about celebrating my son’s marriage. Of proudly returning to my home village with my rightful heir and his bride for an old fashioned Greek wedding. I guess it’s part of my heritage. But up until recently, I never thought that was going to be possible. Now with your wedding, I feel…

Well, like it’s a dream come true. As if my own son were getting married. Oh, Victor, would you be my best man?

Now, Tustin, I would have thought you’d want one of your friends. You my friend? I mean somebody your own age, a contemporary. Well, Victor, there’s no man that I consider a better friend to me than you’ve been. And, uh, there’s no man’s friendship that I want more than yours. You’re my closest relative, and, um, frankly, in my heart, you’re my best friend.

And I would be honored if you were my best man. Of course, if you’re too busy planning the wedding, uh, Justin

would be the greatest honor of my life. He

truly was like a father to me. He’s the only father that I really had most of my life. God, I’m really gonna miss him. His humor, his wit, his passion for life. For the people who loved him. And the people he loved.

Hey, look at me. You cannot blame yourself. Alright? You’re making a lot of progress in therapy. Yeah, that was when I thought that my grandfather was going to eventually come around. Phil, I haven’t spoken to him in months because, because I could tell how badly he hated me. He didn’t hate you. Yeah, well, he sure as hell blamed me for what happened to my dad.

And now… Now I’m never gonna get the chance to know whether or not he and I could have ever worked things out. You know the worst part? The worst part is that he never would have been on that plane if it wasn’t for me.

Is that what you think? You think Philip and I were, were, were, uh, Grandad’s favorites? Well, I never saw you mucking around in the menu. No, no, Xander, we didn’t have to do that, but do you know how many times that man fired my ass? Come on, are you kidding me? Phillip and I had to deal with the same kind of problems that everybody else did.

The impossible demands, the ultimatums. I mean, my God, if you didn’t do exactly what that man told you to do and how to do it, you would find yourself fired. You would find yourself kicked out of the mansion. You would find yourself disowned. Sometimes all three. Did this come from Ciara? It’s her crazy theory that I’m trying to destroy the company to get back at you.

Are you? Trust me, Titan is in very good hands. Sierra is just upset because I denied some of her business proposals, that’s all. So she ran to Grandpa with a silly accusation just because I didn’t give her a gold star. Sierra never said a word to me. I’m monitoring your business decisions, Peggy. Not only are they unsound, they’re reckless.

Based on what? Well, for starter, you substantially overpaid for a company that couldn’t possibly be integrated into Titan. No, that’s your opinion. No, that’s fact.

Also, you got your revenge against Xander when I handed you the company. That wasn’t enough for you. You had to get revenge against me as well. By imploding the company that I built from the ground up. God, was there ever a man that was… More enthralled with his own power. He pitted us all against each other.

Because he thought that that was bringing out our competitive spirit. Instincts. To make us better at business. Make us tougher. Make us more ruthless. We all hated it. But we all fell in line. Because… All we really wanted to do was please that man. Because…

We loved him.

Brady definitely didn’t take it well when he found out that Xander proposed. Xander

proposed to you? You’re not wearing a ring. Yeah, um, I told him I needed some time to think about it. Because of your feelings for Brady. Well, that’s part of it. But Xander only proposed after he found out that Gwen is marrying Dimitri and that Sarah is back with Rex. What? Rex never mentioned to me that they were involved again.

Oh, well, apparently they are, but my point is I’m just trying to get a handle on Xander’s feelings and mine. Oh, my relationship with Brady ended so abruptly, and, and honestly, there’s Philip. Philip? Yeah. He and I had gotten so close before he died, and then, hearing about Victor’s passing, it just, it brought back a flood of memories.

All the good times that he and I had together, and how, you know, we truly loved each other once. Kate, I can’t imagine how much you miss him. And the thought of losing a child, I, I just could not imagine that.

Why would Philip fake his own death? And he also framed Brady for the murder. But trust me, Victor, he was not in his right mind when he did it. She was a trollop, Chloe Lane. She, she, she drove him to this. I mean, he believes it. Everything he’s done he’s failed at. He believes that no one loves him. I’m afraid he really thinks that life is not worth living.

He needs help.

Chloe,

I have something, I have something to tell you.

I know words are a cold comfort right now, but I must remind you, you got past losing Mickey. You’re gonna get past losing Victor. Cause you’re strong. Cause you have so many things to live for. Your children.

Your money?

Hmm.

No. No, thank you, Julie. I’ve spoken to Sarah and Melissa.

I just wish they weren’t so far away. I’m sure you do. I’m sure you do.

I’m thinking about all of the things. All of the battles. You fought and won. You learned to walk again. You got sober. And you stayed sober. And you help so many other people to stay sober, and oh my, come on. Remember when you came back from the dead? Well… You beat Bonnie Lockhart at all her ridiculous games.

How dare you speak to me like that! I hired you to clean this house, not to take it over! A house is a pile of bricks, Red. A home needs excitement to make a man want to put his key in the door at six o’clock. Hmm. Well, that shows you what you don’t know. See, Mickey needs to have peace and quiet after a stressful day.

And a restful environment to come home to. You know what? Stop trying to tell me that you’re some kind of prude. I saw you crawling in that bed with those red shoes of yours. Damn straight, Max. Excuse me. Ah. Time for a refill.

Oh, I’ve had it with your owner, Max. I’m trying to be understanding. I mean, after all, Mickey thought I was dead. So he was vulnerable to her charms. And who would have predicted that Bonnie and I would be living under the same roof again? Who indeed? But she didn’t get her claws into Victor. Well, it wasn’t for lack of trying.

Mmm, oh, that blew my mind when he agreed to let me move back in here. As I recall, you two didn’t exactly get off on the right foot. Hmm. Kind of an understatement. Look at this gorgeous fruit. Yummy. What do you say, Victor? Would you like to sample my melons?

Lord, I will never forget the look on his face. Priceless. And then, when we told him we were getting married.

That went well. Victor sure was a tough old bastard. And he did give me a hard time.

I’m gonna miss him so awful.

Oh, honey. Honey, you cannot blame yourself. Okay, you just can’t. But he wouldn’t have been visiting my dad in some secret hospital if I didn’t We don’t even know where he was going when his plane went down. He could have been on a business trip for all we know. Listen, this, this is your grief talking. Okay, you’re just, you’re not in your right mind.

Listen, I’m not crazy. I didn’t say crazy. And I’m also, I’m not the only one that’s blaming myself. Everyone out there, they’re all blaming me too. Chloe, um,

what is it?

Um, look, I know that I know that you really, you really loved Philip. And Brady. And um, I’m sorry for how much you suffered because of both of them. And whatever the future is with Xander, I’m glad that you’re there for him. Because his relationship with Victor was fraught. Maybe you can help him heal. And vice versa.

Yeah, maybe.

Alright, okay, I should go. How’s that nose? Uh, I think you straightened it out a little bit, so, thank you. Look, just for the record, Xander, uh, I still can’t stand you, and I’m still gonna pray that Chloe comes to her senses and doesn’t marry you, alright? Duly noted. And just for the record,

I don’t care what you think. Duly noted. Oh. Oh, Julie. Bless your heart for lifting my spirits and making me laugh. Laughing is my specialty, you know. It certainly is. God, we’ve been through a lot of things together. Good times and bad times. Crazy times. Everything in between.

That’s true. I’m so grateful to have you. Not just as a niece. But as my dearest friend, you are the sweetest, most generous friend anyone could ever ask for. Back at you, kiddo. Back at you. Cherish me.

I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for you, remember?

Fake! Oh.

I am lucky to be your friend.

And now… I think I will get my friend a little rest. Yeah, I think everything is kind of catching up with me. I’m going to close my eyes for a bit. Yeah, you do that. Can I bring you anything? No. But, you could come back tomorrow. Oh, well, try and stop me.

You know, your memory’s a victor. Everything that makes you cry today, it will comfort you tomorrow. And in years to come, it will give you joy.

Yeah, I know.

You always say just the right thing.

I’ve been so very blessed. We both have.

Oh, Jolie.

Sean, why would you think everyone blames you for Victor’s death? You haven’t even talked to anybody. You didn’t even know about it until I told you just now. Exactly, Belle. All right, my grandfather dies dramatically, unexpectedly, in a plane crash, for God’s sakes. And nobody can pick up the phone and let me know?

I’ve got to find out from your father? I’m sure it was an oversight, okay? Everybody is really upset and, and confused. No, no, no. Belle, it’s because they blame me and they think that I’m guilty. And you know what? I am guilty. I’m guilty and I’m, I’m just, I’m angry. And you know what? It’s like, I gotta get out of here.

I just gotta get out of here. You’re good. Let’s go home. No. No, no. I want to, I want to be alone, okay? No, no, please, please, Sean, please don’t, don’t go to a bar, okay? You cannot afford to get suspended again. Belle, please just leave me alone, okay? For God’s sakes, just leave me alone. Let me go.

So, sorry, because you probably came by here to get some food, and I kept you from that. No, it’s okay. I actually just came here to get Xander some food, but he just texted me saying he’s gonna check on Maggie, and I’m not really hungry, so… So, kind of a waste of time. No, it wasn’t. Kate, it was actually really nice talking to you.

I was just thinking the same thing. Actually, I guess it shows us this is the first time for everything. So anyway… Good luck to you. And take care. Thank you, Kate. And you take care, too.

Hey. Hey, Philip. It’s Mom.

I have something to tell you. It’s kind of… It is sad news. And it’s about your dad.

Hey, Julie. How’s Maggie doing? Well, we had a good talk. She’s a strong woman, as you know. How are

you doing? A little numb. I think we all are. I mean, Victor seemed invincible. Hard as nails. I don’t think many people realize just how vulnerable the man was. Vulnerable? Now that’s not a word I ever associated with Victor. Really? If you walk me out, I will tell you stories of your uncle that nobody’s ever heard.

I would love

that, Julie.

Who is it? It’s Bonnie.

I’m trying to get some rest, Bonnie. I have some tea that might help with that.

Alright,

come in.

Oh, sorry. I won’t stay long. I just wanted to bring you my special sleep remedy. Oh, no, no, don’t worry. It’s the virgin version. It’s guaranteed to knock me out any time my mind’s racing. Thank you. That was very thoughtful. Yeah. I hope you had a nice visit with Julie. I did.

We had a long stroll down memory lane. Mm, uh oh. Um, did my name come up? No, did… Don’t tell me. I can only imagine. Hey, Maggie, um,

This might not be the right time to bring this up, but… But what?

Losing Victor…

Reminds me of a time that you lost someone else you love very much. Nikki. Maggie,

just so you know, deep down, I knew I never had a chance with that man.

His heart belonged to you from the moment you two met.

Here we are. Get the screen. The hinge is loose. Yeah.

Good, thank you very much.

Fifty years ago. Hmm. And sometimes, it feels like yesterday.

Oh, hey, Clyde. Belle, hi. How are you? Uh, well, I don’t know if you heard. Yeah, about Victor. Um, how’s Sean doing? Oh, God, he’s devastated. Blaming himself. Blaming himself? Why? How could he be responsible for a plane crash? Well, he feels responsible because Victor took the trip in the first place to go see Bo.

Anyway, he took off earlier and I thought maybe he’d be here. Well, I haven’t seen him, but do you want me to help you look for him? Um, no, it’s okay. He said he wanted to be alone. I’m just really worried. I bet. Well, I’m here if you need anything. Thank you. Oh, you know what, Chloe? Before you go… I wanted to apologize for being so negative about Xander proposing to you.

You know that whatever you decide, I support you. Thank you, Bell. That means a lot. Because I was actually thinking about saying yes.

Maggie, are you in? Yeah.

Sarah. Dancing

lawfully wedded husband. To have and to hold. My scar. I’m not ready

for you to see it. We’ll wait till you are ready. I’m so scared, Mickey. That you won’t think I’m beautiful anymore. Life gave me myasthenia gravis. And marital problems. So I said, okay, life. I’ll just… Get drunk. You are an alcoholic? Yes, I am an alcoholic.

Ah, way to go, Maggie. Maggie, open your eyes, please. I need you. I love you. Thank God. Thank God!

Soon enough we’ll be dancing the night away just the way we used to. Maybe we can try a little dancing now. Mm.

Mm, I rock.

Thanks.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Settling in, Commissioner Brady? Yeah, I’m trying to. Good. Good. Is there something I can do for you, sir? Yes. You can arrest Paulina Price. Marlena

Evans.

Theo. My son.

Charles. Chad DeMera.

Paulina,

my wife. We were married on Juneteenth.

I know that. I know that. Yes. Yes. Forgive me. I, my memories. Oh, no. No need to apologize. Oh, come on in. Come on in. Thank you. So, I assume you got my message? I did. You said you wanted to discuss something with me in person, so I came right over. What’d you want to talk about? Help me get my job back.

Have you seen this? Clint Rowling set Abe up. So he would be absolutely raked over the calls to that press conference. Aren’t you outraged by this? I am, but uh, I have some other news. I need to share with you. Okay. You’re acting like someone died. Someone did. Victor.

Victor Kariakis is dead? He was flying home from visiting Bo and his plane went down in the Mediterranean. Are they sure? Coast Guard just recovered his body. That’s horrible news. I don’t know. Is it?

Hey, you busy? Ah, we’re too busy for you, love. What’s up? I was just wondering if you’d gone over the ad sales report I left on your desk this morning. I did, actually, and, uh, no, it looks great. I have one little question about it, though. Yeah, what is it? Have you decided whether you’re going to marry me?

Like

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

You are quite the charmer, you know that? So it’s a yes, then? Xander. I thought we both agreed that we need to take some time to figure this out. I have taken time, darling. It’s been 28 hours, 36 minutes and 11 seconds since I proposed. Not that I’ll keep you track or anything. Okay, so barely a day. Feels like an eternity to me.

I already told you. I don’t need any time. I know I want you to be my wife. I believe that, but I have to figure out whether I’m doing it for the right reasons and whether you are too. I want to marry you because I love you. Are you sure that’s the only reason? You just found out that Sarah is with Rex. We talked about this, Chloe.

I’m totally over Sarah. You sure about that?

I can’t, I can’t believe it. I mean, I can’t believe that he, that Victor’s gone. It’s a shock. I know. The two of you, whew. A lot of water under that bridge. Yeah. Yeah. The bridge that both of us repeatedly burned down.

Although, once upon a time. We really did love each other.

Living in a dream. Your long dream where I’m alone with you and I’m able to talk to you and to touch

you. It’s a dream can come true. I have so much I want to ask you, so much I want to say to you. Darling, we have, we have so much time to you to take me in your arms. I want you to hold me. I want you to hold me tight.

My greatest happiness has been sharing my life with you.

Let’s drink a toast. To our future. To you, and me, and Philip, Lucas, Beau,

Austin. Oh, love. You have embraced my children with such generosity and kindness. Do you know how much that means to me? I love their mother. I love her children. And I’ll always love you, Kate. Always. I’ll always love you.

I was afraid that you would hate me for what I’ve done to Sammy.

Never. Could never hate you. No matter what. I love you,

Kate. But there

was a lot of hate, too. Betrayal and deception. Vengeance.

But when someone we loved was in crisis, we could put aside all of that animosity in an instant. And we would put our heads together and we would strategize. And we would come up with the most brilliant plan to help that person. So,

you know, in a sense, I think Victor and I are kindred spirits.

I know that Victor did some awful things to you. And to you. And a whole lot of other people. But to say that his death is good news, I… Listen, I’m not saying that we should be dancing on a man’s grave. Just that we don’t get so caught up in all the glowing tributes and eulogies that we forget about what kind of man Victor really was.

And I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way. What about the people he left behind? His family, the people who loved him? I mean, how do you think they feel?

Wow, I can certainly sympathize, uh, with your position, Abe, but honestly, I just… I don’t really know what I can do. Well, maybe we can figure that out together. I want to, uh, I want to do anything I can to get that smug bastard, Clint Rawlings, out of the mayor’s office so I can get back in. You know what?

That’s probably one of the journalists that was camping outside. I’ll take care of it. Oh, Abraham, I am so, so sorry that I pushed you into crashing that, that press conference. It’s clear you weren’t ready, and I don’t want you giving another thought to becoming mayor again.

Uh,

with all due respect to Acting Mayor Rawlings, uh, why would I arrest Paulina Price on what charges? Assault. Who’d she assault? Me. You don’t have to take my word for it. The entire incident is captured on video.

I’m so sorry, my love. I should have found another way to help Chanel. This is bigger than the bakery. This is about someone who uses their power and position to hurt innocent people. You’re right, but your doctor and one of your best friends told me not to push you, and I did. Oh, right into that wretched man’s path.

This was my choice to take my job back. And it is too soon. You never would have even considered doing this yet if I hadn’t begged you to. So I’m just here to apologize for making such a selfish request and to let you know that I don’t expect this to go any further. I just want you to focus on your recovery.

I appreciate your concern, Paulina. But rather than Step back gracefully. Rawlings has decided to make this an ugly battle. And I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let him win.

Chloe, darling, believe me, I Sorry, it might be Justin. Yeah, it is. It’s Justin updating me on Uncle Victor, most likely. Guess he’s just turned up. Hey, cuz. Uncle Victor finally resurfaced. Who was the old cute, anyway?

What?

I, um, I don’t know what to say. I should go see Maggie. Yeah, okay, I’ll, I’ll pop by the house later. Thanks, Justin. Thanks for, uh, for letting me know. what?

About Victor. He’s, he’s not missing.

What’s that?

Brady, please, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call us, alright? Alright, honey. Bye bye. Um, he’s gonna pass on our condolences. How’s Maggie doing? Justin said she’s in shock. That they all are. I’m sorry about what I said before. I was only talking about Victor in relation to us. But I know he was a husband and father, grandfather, uncle, the people we love.

I know they’re in pain. Of course my heart goes out to them. I know that. And I’m sorry I didn’t mean to negate your feelings. You can have compassion for his family and also have contempt. For what he put you

through. Victor and I really went at it over the years. But we, we gave as good as we got. You didn’t seem to be concerned about causing me stress when you were whoring with Maroni in front of our son. I hate what I’ve been forced to do. But it All could be over. All you have to do, all you have to do is trade that territory for the tape.

Rony would be out of our lives. Sammy would be out of our lives. We could focus on our son and each other. Each other? Are you mad? I could never trust you again.

Get

out!

I hate that he caused you so much pain. Oh come on. I caused plenty of pain myself. But he was a worthy adversary. He was ruthless, and he was vicious, and… Actually, I don’t think I ever met anyone else as stubborn as I am. A man could hold a grudge. As can I. So, for better, or definitely worse. We really had a lot in common.

But you, the love of my life. Victor. Victor understood you better than anyone did. Like you said.

Kindred spirit. Yeah. Maybe. Victor was one of a kind. Whether you loved him or you hated him, and a lot of us felt both ways. We all know they will never, ever be another Victor

Kiriakis. You want me to arrest Paulina Price because she, uh, poked you in the chest? She poked me hard. You saw, I nearly fell over backward. Uh, I mean, it doesn’t look that serious to me. Oh yeah? Would you like to see the bruise? No, no, no, that’s, that’s, that’s not necessary. According to my position, I have a contusion of the sternum.

Here, I’ll pull up the report. Uh, no, no, no, no. Again, again. That’s, that’s not necessary. Whether you consider my condition serious is irrelevant. According to the law, Ms. Price committed assault. You saw the rage in her eyes. She came at me looking for a fight.

Abraham, I am never one to shy away from a fight. Neither are Rawlings stay in office?

Not a chance. If he hasn’t put Chanel out of business, or shut down anyone else that he has distaste for, he’s on his way to making Salem into a dictatorship. Do you really think that’s possible? In politics these days? Anything is possible. How can I, how can I, in good conscience, put my energies into getting better when everything around me is worse?

I mean, what this man is doing is wrong. And I would be wrong not to do anything. To stop him. Well, Now what do you think? Well, I think Mayor Carver has my vote.

I Xander, I’m sorry.

This whole time we’ve been seeing each other, um, Victor and I, we’ve been estranged.

But there was a time, oh my god, when I was I’d have done anything for him. I’d have given my life just to earn his respect. I know. All I used to want was for, for him to accept me. For him to see me as a true Kyriakos, just as worthy of, of respect as all the others. And he always refused.

And that hurt me.

Should

I

try to hear your

final words.

Wow. You never told me any of that. Never told anyone. Only reason I can tell you now is that, Victor decided to spare my life. But not before he made sure I knew exactly how worthless I was to him. Police are gathering evidence even as we speak. Because you were stupid enough to target Roman Brady’s son.

They’ll be uncommonly motivated to bury you. If for some reason they fail, you become a free man again. Things will change. Shall I go on? Please. Your generous compensation package and the titles you so cherish, your position on the board of the charity that you used to run, all those things will be stripped from you.

Different. Perhaps eventually, best case scenario, you’ll be a servant in my home. Maybe for a long time. You will, uh, have your life, and you’ll be grateful for it.

Victor didn’t want an apology. He just wanted his pound of flesh. He wouldn’t even send me away. He made me live with him in the house, but not his family. It’s the garden. Day after day, I had to put up with his crap.

Victor needed someone to do his dirty work. That’s why he brought me to town. I need a special kind of foreman. One who can keep an eye on his boss. Bo is gonna be the manager of allies starting right now. Manager, huh? Well, I guess it pays to be Mr. Kiriakis Jr., huh? Don’t get in his way. Just report back to me.

Now, that’s one part of the assignment. The other part involves Kayla Brady, Bo’s half sister. She just came back into town. I don’t want her disturbed. I just want to know anything that Bo confides in her. He hired me to spy on you and Bo. Before that, he wanted me to get that film from your sister, Kimberly.

And then my assignment was to bring him the pawn. Who turned out to be John. A human being. That Victor won in some demented competition. And the poor dude was covered in bandages. He had no memory. Makes me sick to think about what I did back then. You were just a kid. No baby, I was old enough to make my own choices.

And I chose to take orders and money from a crime boss. That made me a criminal too. Victor Kiriakis was a very powerful man. He was intimidating, frightening.

Also, the whole thing was seductive. Yeah. Boy, was I in deep. But I finally realized I had to get out, no matter what it cost me. You give me some proof. Some absolute proof that Kayla’s not hurt. That she’s alright. And I’ll look for that key 24 hours a day for you. I’ll find it. I can’t do that.

Hey! Get out of where she is! Get out of where she is!

Victor Kariakis did not appreciate being told he was wrong. That’s an understatement. I can’t even begin to count all the evil things that man did over the years. But kidnapping you, when you were pregnant with our Stephanie? I’ll never forgive him for that.

I am in no way excusing the pain that Victor caused you or me or anybody else. I mean, he could be vicious and frightening and, I mean, I mean, shockingly so. But I know that there was another side to him. You mean the side Caroline saw. My mother fell in love with him. Well,

maybe he was a better man for it.

To Victor. To Victor.

You know, don’t, don’t ask me how. The moths are good in that man that no one else ever did. Oh, like you see good in me? Well, we Brady’s do have skills, you know. And another one of those is being there for the people we love. And that is why I’m going to be there for you. When you make that call. What call?

The fella. You gotta tell him about his pilot. There is no way in hell I’m doing that.

Eventually, you changed Victor’s mind about you. He made you CEO of Titan. Oh, Chloe, I had such big plans. After all those years of being humiliated and dismissed, I… finally had a chance to prove myself. And I was showing Victor that I could, all by myself, take Titan to new heights. But then… But then what?

Phillip came home.

You know, when we thought that we’d lost you, I sent Rex to Europe to tell Phillip the news. Yeah, but then you had to end up telling him that I’m alive. Yeah, and him going from one emotional extreme to the other couldn’t have been easy. And this news about Victor, I’m sure, is going to be very, very hard for him to handle, given how fragile he is.

That is not the reason that I don’t want to tell Philip. And he’s not that fragile anymore. Then why? Because if he finds out that his father’s dead, he’s going to come back to Salem. And then he’ll end up under arrest.

Look, I understand that you want to hold people accountable to the law, but, uh, this department, I mean, our resources are limited here, so don’t you think that we should focus on something with higher priorities? I’m the victim of a crime. That’s not a priority for you, Commissioner? Um, it’s a personal matter, and it’s one that I don’t think the police should be involved with.

Apparently, Abe Carver isn’t the only one with memory issues around here. You do remember who put you in this chair. And I told you that I couldn’t accept the job, but then you said… That I would be unemployed if I didn’t. And now you serve at the pleasure of the mayor. Oh, f k. It’s acting, mayor. And, yes, that is true, sir.

But, um, I’m not your lackey. Excuse me? Okay, if you, if you put me in this chair thinking that I’m going to jump every time you snap your fingers, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Because, you know what? I don’t owe you anything. All right, my sworn duty is to the people of Salem, and if you haven’t forgotten, that’s your sworn duty too, sir.

I took an oath to serve and protect the people of Salem, and that’s what I intend to do. There’s no talking you out of this, is there? Afraid not. Well, it seems that we’re all in agreement that Rawlings has got to go. So I’m willing to discuss how we might make that happen. Well, I called Bell. To give us some legal options, so…

Counselor? Tell us.

Are you accusing me of abusing my power? I’m not the one who’s throwing around accusations here. I have what that woman did to me on tape! And I have actual assault victims whose cases I’d like to solve. So, now if you can go and act as mayor… Well, I go and I do my job. That would be great. That is all I’m asking you to do, Brady.

Your job. If you want to keep it. Make sure Paulina Price isn’t handcuffed by the end of the day.

I mean, legally, there’s nothing preventing Abe from resuming his duties as mayor. But I’m sure you know that a guy like Rawlings isn’t going to give up the office quietly. If you give him the boot, he’s going kicking and screaming. Yeah, well, let him have his tantrum. It’s not like there’s anything else he can do.

Unfortunately, there is. I mean, you’ve already seen how he’s used the media as a weapon, and I think he could use the video from the press conference to stir up support and maybe showcase Abe’s memory loss and make him look unfit for office. To what end? He could organize a recall, but the general election’s less than two months away, so he’s probably just gonna run against you to try to get the power back that way, but either way, he’s gonna make your life very difficult, and Abe’s already been through so much.

I just don’t want to see you get hurt again. Neither do I. Your health has to be the priority. Once you start to remember, we can reconsider our options. Well, who knows when that will ever happen. Well, we do know engaging in any kind of very nasty, very public fight with that creep won’t help. Well, I can’t just sit back while Rollins tramples all over my constituents rights.

I, I… I have to try to do something. Well, not if it means putting your reputation and your recovery at risk. You know, I think that there might be a way to stop Rawlings without doing that.

Look, Philip faked his death, and then he framed Brady for it. Okay? If he had stayed in Salem, he would have either ended up in Statesville or Bayview. And either one, he would not have survived it. So… You and Beatrice sent him to a private psychiatric facility overseas to get him the help he needs. And to avoid arrest.

I mean, frankly, he was there avoiding the police just as much as he was healing. Roman, if he comes back here, he’s going to be facing a serious prison term. He could beat those charges. Plead not guilty by reason of mental illness.

Even if he’s not locked up, I’m going to have to worry about Brady. I would have to, I would be worrying that Brady wouldn’t try to kill him for what he did to him. Brady is not going to murder anyone. Oh really? Don’t be so sure. Two weeks ago he lost custody of Rachel because he pulled a gun on Kristen.

Look, you are going to have it well, Philip. Sometime you can’t hide this from him forever. I mean, Victor’s death is international news. Well, actually, I have an arrangement at the facility. They will keep him insulated. Sooner or later, he is going to find out, Kate. How? I mean, now that Victor’s dead, only you and I know.

And Rex, and Lucas, and, well, I did confide in Paulina. So you did say that Philip is stronger now? Yes, but that’s just the problem. If he finds out that Victor’s dead, he’s going to insist on being with this family. Not if you explain to him why he can’t. What? You can’t be serious. He is just like his father, just like his father.

I can’t reason with him. I can’t talk any sense into him at all. If I told him, don’t come back, it’s not good for you, he still will. And then I risk losing him, Roman. Okay, you know what, Kate? Alright? I won’t say anything to anybody, okay? But that doesn’t mean that I’m gonna stop trying to talk good sense into you.

Well, good luck with that.

Sorry.

Victor made me share the Titan CEO title with his son, even though he and everyone else knew Philip was a loser. I’m

sorry, I know you loved him once. I shouldn’t speak ill of the dead. I’m aware that you and Philip did not get along.

Well, we let Victor play us off against each other. It was one of Victor’s favourite entertainments. At least, that time, I had the good sense to walk away.

But Victor died thinking I’m the same degenerate. Thuggo was when I first came to Salem. No, no, no, that is not true. Just the other day, Maggie was begging me to reconcile with him, to, to make amends before it was too late.

I loved him. Despite everything, I did, I did love him. I know. Is there anything I can do?

Well, I would say marry me. But then we’ll know you’re definitely doing it for the wrong reasons,

won’t we?

I think

I just need me if you need me. Xander,

I love

you. Really? Yeah, really. Or I wouldn’t be considering your proposal.

I love you too.

You know, despite how messy things got between Victor and my mother, I know deep down he loved her. How could he not? And I think at some point in her life, she was crazy about him. So you’re saying Victor’s love for Caroline, and his love for Maggie, that’s proof that he had a heart? Well, at least it gave him some measure of redemption.

Like you gave me. God only knows what kind of man I’d be if I didn’t have your love. Well, it’s a good thing you’re never going to have to find that out. And hey, you know what? There’s a chance that you and I would have never met if Victor hadn’t brought you to Salem. Well, I guess I owe him for that then.

So I’ll say this. Victor Kiriakis might have been a real son of a bitch, but he gave me the best gift I could ever get. You. Love of my life. You know, he had the love of a Brady woman, too. And I have to believe that he gave that love back as best he could. So, in his memory, I’m gonna keep giving that love back to you.

Always, baby. I’m gonna hold you to that. Okay. But you won’t have to, sweetness.

Sean. Hey. Hey, what’s going on? Uh, well, Rawlings paid me a visit. And, um, seems like working for him is going to be a problem. Oh, well, you might not have to worry about that any longer.

Come right in. Of course.

Hello, Abe. Come in. I assume you’ve called me over here because you’ve realized that it would be best for all concerned. If I remain as mayor, well, Abe focuses on his recovery. Incorrect. I intend to get my job back. I’ve informed the city council to make it official. So your tenure has come to an end.

But you can’t be serious. All of Salem saw you make a fool out of yourself today at the press conference. You’ll be laughed out of the office before the week is out. You’re right. But I only intend to stay in office. Long enough to appoint my successor. What successor? Me. So meet Mayor Paulina Price.

Can Abe really do that? He sure can. We checked the city charter and he has every right to appoint Paulina. Sorry.

Hey, Dad. Yeah, I’m here with him now. Why?

Uh, yeah, no, I’m still here. Um, Yeah, of course I’ll tell him. I love you too, Dad.

Sal, you’re, you’re white as a ghost. What is it? It’s Victor.

What about him? Sal, I’m so sorry to tell you this, but your grandfather’s dead.

You’re right, Roman. I can’t keep it from him. I have to tell Solomon. Kate?

You’re right. I should be grateful for what I have. Just stop worrying. And focus on how incredibly lucky I am to be marrying the woman of my dreams. Speaking of, can you stick around for the wedding? Last time I came to a wedding in this house, I was traumatized. Walked in to find Sonny marrying some grifter in a sharkskin suit.

Well, that was about blackmail. My wedding to Sarah is about love. And nobody loves Sarah more than Maggie. And I’m sure she’ll be heartbroken not to be here today. So my place is at her side. Of course. Well, I should get ready. Please, tell Maggie we’ll miss her. Send her weight. Yes. I know I haven’t been the best uncle to you in the last few years.

But, you have proven to me that you are a true Kidiakis. And of that I’m very proud.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Settling in, Commissioner Brady? Yeah. I’m trying to. Good. Good. Is there something I can do for you, sir? Yes. You can arrest Paulina Price.

Marlena Evans.

Theo. My son.

Charles… Chad DiMera.

Paulina.

My wife. We were married on… Juneteenth. I know that. I know that. I just can’t remember it. Just a moment. Abe! It’s so good to see you. Belle.

Yes. Yes. Forgive me. I… My memory is… Oh, no. No need to apologize. Oh, come on in. Come on in. Thank you. So, I assume you got my message? I did. You said you wanted to discuss something with me in person, so I came right over. What’d you want to talk about? Help me get my job back.

Have you seen this? Clint Rowling set Abe up, so he would be absolutely raked over the coals at that press conference. Aren’t you outraged by this? I am, but, uh, I have some other news I need to share with you. Okay. You’re acting like someone died. Someone did. Victor.

Victor Kariakis is dead? He was flying home from visiting Bo and his plane went down in the Mediterranean. Are they sure? Coast Guard just recovered his body. That’s horrible news. I don’t know. Is it?

Hey, you busy? Ah, are we too busy for you, love? What’s up? I was just wondering if you’d gone over the ad sales report I left on your desk this morning? I did, actually, and, uh, no, it looks great. I have one little question about it, though. Yeah? What is it? Have you decided whether you’re going to marry me?

Like

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

You are quite the charmer, you know that? So it’s a yes then? Xander. I thought we both agreed that we need to take some time to figure this out. I have taken time, darling. It’s been 28 hours, 36 minutes and 11 seconds since I proposed. Not that I’ll keep you track or anything. Okay, so barely a day. Feels like an eternity to me.

What’d he told you? I don’t need any time. I know I want you to be my wife. I believe that. But, I have to figure out whether I’m doing it for the right reasons and whether you are too. I want to marry you because I love you. Are you sure that’s the only reason? You just found out that Sarah is with Rex. We talked about this, Chloe.

I’m totally over Sarah. You sure about that?

I can’t, I can’t believe it. I mean, I can’t believe that he, that Victor’s gone. It’s a shock. I know. But the two of you, whew. A lot of water under that bridge. Yeah. Yeah. The bridge that both of us… Repeatedly burned down.

Although once upon a time, we really did love each other.

I’m having a dream, a near long dream, where I’m alone with you and I’m able to to talk to you and to touch

you. It’s a dream can come true. There’s so much I want to ask you, so much I want to say to you. Darling, we have, we have so much time to talk. I just want you to take me in your arms. I want you to hold me. I want you to hold me

tight. The greatest happiness has been sharing my life with you.

Let’s drink a toast. To our future. To you and me and Philip, Lucas, Bo,

Austin.

You have embraced my children with such generosity and kindness. Do you know how much that means to me? I love her children. And I’ll always love you, Kate. Always. I’ll always love you.

I was afraid that you would hate me for what I’ve done to Sammy.

Never. Could never hate you. No matter what. I love you, Kate.

But there was a lot of hate, too. Betrayal and deception. Vengeance.

But when someone we loved was in crisis, we could put aside all of that animosity in an instant. And we would put our heads together and we would strategize. And we would come up with the most brilliant plan to help that person. So, you know, in a sense, I think Victor and I are kindred spirits.

I know that Victor did some awful things to you. And to you. And a whole lot of other people. But to say that his death is good news, I… Listen, I’m not saying that we should be dancing on a man’s grave. Just that we don’t get so caught up in all the glowing tributes and eulogies that we forget about what kind of man Victor really was.

And I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way. What about the people he left behind? His family, the people who loved him? I mean, how do you think they

feel? Wow, I can certainly sympathize, uh, with your position, Abe, but honestly, I just… I don’t really know what I can do. Well, maybe we can figure that out together. I want to, uh, I want to do anything I can to get that smug bastard, Clint Rawlings, out of the mayor’s office so I can get back in. You know what?

That’s probably one of the journalists that was camping outside. I’ll take care of it. Oh, Abraham, I am so, so sorry that I pushed you into crashing that, that press conference. It’s clear you weren’t ready and I don’t want you giving another thought to becoming mayor again.

Uh,

with all due respect to Acting Mayor Rawlings, uh, why would I arrest Paulina Price on what charges? Assault. Who’d she assault? Me. You don’t have to take my word for it. The entire incident is captured on video.

I’m so sorry, my love. I should have found another way to help Chanel. This is bigger than the bakery. This is about someone who uses their power and position to hurt innocent people. You’re right, but your doctor and one of your best friends told me not to push you, and I did. Oh, right into that wretched man’s path.

This was my choice to take my job back. And it is too soon. You never would have even considered doing this yet if I hadn’t begged you to. So I’m just here to apologize for making such a selfish request and to let you know that I don’t expect this to go any further. I just want you to focus on your recovery.

I appreciate your concern, Paulina. But rather than Step back gracefully. Rawlings has decided to make this an ugly battle. And I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let him win.

Chloe, darling, believe me, I Sorry, it might be Justin. Yeah, it is. It’s Justin updating me on Uncle Victor, most likely. Guess he just turned up. Hey, cuz. Uncle Victor finally resurfaced. Who was the old cute anyway?

What?

I, um, I don’t know what to say. I should go see Maggie. I, yeah, okay, I’ll, I’ll pop by the house later. Thanks, Justin. Thanks for, uh, for letting me know.

Letting you know what? About Victor. He’s, he’s not missing. He’s dead.

Brady, please, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call us, all right? All right, honey. Bye bye. Um, he’s gonna pass on our condolences. How’s Maggie doing? Justin said she’s in shock. That they all are. Ah. I’m sorry about what I said before. I was only talking about Victor in relation to us. But I know he was a husband and father, grandfather, uncle.

To people we love. I know they’re in pain. Of course my heart goes out to them. I know that. And I’m sorry I didn’t mean to negate your feelings. You can have compassion for his family, and also have contempt. For what he put you

through. Victor and I really went at it over the years. But we, we gave as good as we got. You didn’t seem to be concerned about causing me stress when you were whoring with Maroney in front of our son. I hate what I’ve been forced to do. But it all could be over. All you have to do, all you have to do is trade that territory for the tape.

Moroni would be out of our lives. Sammy would be out of our lives. We could focus on our son and each other. Each other? Are you mad? I could never trust you again.

Get

out. I hate that he caused you so much pain. Oh come on. I caused plenty of pain myself. But he was a worthy adversary. He was ruthless and he was vicious and… Actually, I don’t think I ever met anyone else as stubborn as I am. A man could hold a grudge. As can I. So, for better or definitely worse. We really had a lot in common.

But you are the love of my life. Victor. Victor understood you better than anyone did. Like you said.

Kindred spirit. Yeah. Maybe. Victor was one of a kind. Whether you loved him or you hated him. And a lot of us felt both ways. We all know they will never, ever be another Victor

Kiriakis. You want me to arrest Paulina Price because she, uh, poked you in the chest? She poked me hard. You saw. I nearly fell over backwards. Uh, I mean, it doesn’t look that bad. That’s serious to me. Oh, yeah? Would you like to see the bruise? No, no, no, that’s, that’s, that’s not necessary. According to my position, I have a contusion of the sternum.

Here. I’ll pull up the report. Uh, no, no, no, no. Again, again. That’s, that’s not necessary. Whether you consider my condition serious is irrelevant. According to the law, Ms. Price committed assault. You saw the rage in her eyes. She came at me looking for a fight.

Abraham, I am never one to shy away from a fight. Neither are Rawlings stay in office?

Not a chance. If he hasn’t put Chanel out of business, or shut down anyone else that he has distaste for, he’s on his way to making Salem into a dictatorship. Do you really think that’s possible? In politics these days? Anything is possible. How can I, how can I, in good conscience, put my energies into getting better when everything around me is worse?

I mean, what this man is doing is wrong. And I would be wrong not to do anything. To stop him. Well, now what do you think? Well, I think Mayor Carver has my vote.

I Xander, I’m sorry.

This whole time we’ve been seeing each other, um, Victor and I, we’ve been estranged.

But there was a time, oh my god, when I was I’d have done anything for him. I’d have given my life just to earn his respect. I know. All I used to want was for, for him to accept me. For him to see me as a true Kyriakos, just as worthy of, of respect as all the

others. And he always refused. And that hurt me. So

I tried to… I’ve been back.

That’s a big mistake.

Cry and scream all you like. I can assure you no one’s going to hear your final words.

Wow. You never told me any

of that. Never told anyone. Only reason I can tell you now is that Victor decided to spare my life. But not before he made sure I knew exactly how worthless I was to him. Police are gathering evidence even as we speak. Because you were stupid enough to target Roman Brady’s son. They’ll be uncommonly motivated to bury you.

If for some reason they fail, you become a free man again. Things will change. Shall I go on? Please. Your generous compensation package and the titles you so cherish. Your position on the board of the charity that you used to run. All those things will be stripped from you. Your life will be quite different.

Perhaps eventually, best case scenario, you’ll be a servant in my home. Maybe for a long time. You will, uh, have your life and you’ll be grateful for it.

Victor didn’t want an apology. He just wanted his pound of flesh. He wouldn’t even send me away. He made me live with him in the house, but not his family. It’s the garden. Day after day I had to put up with his crap.

Victor needed someone to do his dirty work. That’s why he brought me to town. I need a special kind of foreman. One who can keep an eye on his boss. Bo is gonna be the manager of Allied starting right now. Manager, huh? Well I guess it pays to be Mr. Kiriakis Jr., huh? Don’t get in his way, just report back to me.

Now that’s one part of the assignment, the other part involves Kayla Brady. Bo’s half sister, she just came back into town. And I don’t want her disturbed. I just want to know anything that Bo confides in her. He hired me to spy on you and Bo. Before that, he wanted me to get that film from your sister, Kimberly.

And then my assignment was to bring him the pawn. Who turned out to be John. A human being. That Victor won in some demented competition. And the poor dude was covered in bandages. He had no memory. Makes me sick to think about what I did back then. You were just a kid. No baby, I was old enough to make my own choices.

And I chose to take orders and money from a crime boss. That made me a criminal too. Victor Kiriakis was a very powerful man. He was intimidating, frightening. Also, the whole thing was seductive. Yeah. Boy, was I in deep. But I finally realized I had to get out, no matter what it cost me. You give me some proof.

Some absolute proof that Kayla’s not hurt. That she’s alright. And I’ll look for that key 24 hours a day for you. I’ll find it. I can’t do that. Kariakis

did not appreciate being told he was wrong. That’s an understatement. I can’t even begin to count all the evil things that man did over the years. But kidnapping you when you were pregnant with our Stephanie? I’ll never forgive him for that.

I have in no way excusing the pain that Victor caused you or me or anybody else. I mean, he could be vicious and frightening and, I mean, I mean, shockingly so. But I know that there was another side to him. You mean the side Caroline saw? My mother fell in love with him. Well,

maybe he was a better man for it.

To Victor. To Victor.

You know, don’t, don’t ask me how. But moths are good in that man that no one else ever did. Oh, like you see good in me? Well, we Brady’s do have skills, you know. And another one of those is being there for the people we love. And that is why I’m going to be there for you when you make that call. What call?

To tell him. You gotta tell him about his father. There is no way in hell I’m doing that.

Eventually, you changed Victor’s mind about you. He made you CEO of Titan. Chloe, I had such big plans. After all those years of being humiliated and dismissed, I finally had a chance to prove myself. And I was showing Victor that I could, all by myself, take Titan to new heights. But then…

But then what?

Philip came home.

You know, when we thought that we’d lost you, I sent Rex to Europe to tell Philip the news. Yeah, but then you had to end up telling him that I’m alive. Yeah, and him going from one emotional extreme to the other couldn’t have been easy. And this news about Victor, I’m sure, is going to be very, very hard for him to handle, given how fragile he is.

That is not the reason that I don’t want to tell Philip. And he’s not that bad. anymore. And why? Because if he finds out that his father’s dead, he’s going to come back to Salem. And then he’ll end up under arrest.

Look, I understand that you want to hold people accountable to the law, but, uh, this department, I mean, our resources are limited here, so don’t you think that we should focus on something higher priorities? I’m the victim of a crime. That’s not a priority for you, Commissioner? Um, it’s a personal matter, and it’s one that I don’t think the police should be involved with.

Apparently, Abe Carver isn’t the only one with memory issues around here. You do remember who put you in this chair. And I told you that I couldn’t accept the job, but then you said… That I would be unemployed if I didn’t. And now you serve at the pleasure of the mayor.

It’s acting, mayor. And, yes, that is true, sir. But, um, I’m not your lackey. Excuse me? Okay, if you, if you put me in this chair thinking that I’m going to jump every time you snap your fingers, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Because, you know what? I don’t owe you anything. All right, my sworn duty is to the people of Salem, and if you haven’t forgotten, that’s your sworn duty too, sir.

I took an oath to serve and protect the people of Salem, and that’s what I intend to do. There’s no talking you out of this, is there? Afraid not. Well, It seems that we’re all in agreement that Rawlings has got to go. So I’m willing to discuss how we might make that happen. Well, I called Bell. To give us some legal options, so…

Counselor? Tell us.

Are you accusing me of abusing my power? I’m not the one who’s throwing around accusations here. I have what that woman did to me on tape! And I have actual assault victims whose cases I’d like to solve. So, now if you can go and act as mayor… Well, I go and I do my job. That would be great. That is all I’m asking you to do, Brady.

Your job. If you want to keep it. Make sure Paulina Price isn’t handcuffed by the end of the day.

I mean, legally, there’s nothing preventing Abe from resuming his duties as mayor. But I’m sure you know that a guy like Rawlings isn’t going to give up the office quietly. If you give him the boot, he’s going kicking and screaming. Yeah, well, let him have his tantrum. It’s not like there’s anything else he can do.

Unfortunately, there is. I mean, you’ve already seen how he’s used the media as a weapon, and… I think he could use the video from the press conference to stir up support and maybe showcase Abe’s memory loss and make him look unfit for office. To what end? He could organize a recall, but the general election’s less than two months away, so he’s probably just gonna run against you to try to get the power back that way, but either way he’s gonna make your life very difficult, and Abe’s already been through so much.

I just don’t want to see you get hurt again. Neither do I. Your health has to be the priority. Once you start to remember, we can reconsider our options. Well, who knows when that will ever happen. Well, we do know engaging in any kind of very nasty, very public fight with that creep won’t help. Well, I can’t just sit back while Rawlings tramples all over my constituents rights.

I have to try to do something. Well, not if it means putting your reputation and your recovery at risk. You know, I think that there might be a way to stop Rollings without doing that.

Look, Philip fate, his death, and then he framed Brady for it, okay? If he had stayed in Salem, he would’ve either ended up in Statesville or Bayview in either one. He would not have survived it. So, You and Victor sent him to a private psychiatric facility overseas to get him the help he needs. And to avoid arrest.

I mean, frankly, he was there avoiding police just as much as he was healing. Roman, if he comes back here, he’s going to be facing a serious prison term. He could beat those charges. Plead not guilty by reason of mental illness.

Even if he’s not locked up, I’m going to have to worry about Brady. I would have to, I would be worrying that Brady wouldn’t try to kill him for what he did to him. Brady is not going to murder anyone. Oh really? Don’t be so sure. Two weeks ago he lost custody of Rachel because he pulled a gun on Kristen.

Look, you are gonna have, well, Phillip, sometime you can’t hide this from him forever. I mean, Victor’s death is international news. Well, actually I have an arrangement, a facility, and they will keep him insulate. Sooner or later he is gonna find out, kid how? I mean now that that victor’s dead. Only you and I know.

And Rex and Lucas and, well, I did confide in Paulina. So you did say that Phillip is stronger now? Yes, but that’s just the problem. If he finds out that Victor’s dead, he’s going to insist on being with this fella. Not if you explain to him why he can’t. What? You can’t be serious. He is just like his father, just like his father.

I can’t reason with him. I can’t talk any sense into him at all. If I told him, don’t come back, it’s not good for you, he still will. And then I risk losing him, Roman. Okay, you know what, Kate? Alright? I won’t say anything to anybody, okay? But that doesn’t mean that I’m gonna stop trying to talk good sense into you.

Well, good luck with that.

Victor made me share the Titan CEO title with his son, even though he and everyone else knew Philip was a loser.

I’m sorry, I know you loved him once. I shouldn’t speak ill of the dead. I’m aware that you and Philip did not get along. Well, We let Victor play us off against each other. It was one of Victor’s favorite entertainments. At least, that time, I had the good sense to, walk away.

But Victor died thinking I’m the same degenerate Thug I was when I first came to Salem. No, no, no, that is not true. Just the other day, Maggie was begging me to reconcile with him. To make amends before it was too late.

I

loved him. Despite everything I did. I did love him. I know. Is there anything I can do?

Well, I would say marry me. Well then, we’ll know you’re definitely doing it for the wrong reasons,

won’t we? I

think I

just need me if you need me. Xander?

I love you. Really? Yeah, really. Or I wouldn’t be considering your proposal. I love you too.

You know, despite how messy things got between Victor and my mother, I know deep down he loved her. How could he not? And I think at some point in her life, she was crazy about him. So you’re saying Victor’s love for Caroline and his love for Maggie, that’s proof that he had a heart? Well, at least it gave him some measure of redemption.

Like you gave me. Hmm. God only knows what kind of man I’d be if I didn’t have your love. Well, it’s a good thing you’re never going to have to find that out. And hey, you know what? There is a chance that you and I would have never met if Victor hadn’t brought you to Salem. Well, I guess I owe him for that then.

So I’ll say this. Victor Kariakis might have been a real son of a bitch, but he gave me the best gift I could ever get. You, love of my life. You know, he had the love of a Brady woman too, and I have to believe that he gave that love back as best he could. So in his memory, I’m going to keep giving that love back to you, always, you to that.

Okay. You won’t have to, sweetness.

Sean. Hey. Hey. What’s going on? Uh, well, Rawlings paid me a visit, and um, seems like working for him is going to be a problem. Oh, well, you might not have to worry about that any longer.

Come right in. Of course.

Hello, Abe. Come in. I assume you’ve called me over here because you’ve realized that it would be best for all concerned. If I remain as mayor, well, Abe focuses on his recovery. Incorrect. I intend to get my job back. I’ve informed the city council to make it official. So your tenure has come to an end.

But you can’t be serious. All of Salem saw you make a fool out of yourself today at the press conference. You’ll be laughed out of the office before the week is out. You’re right. But I only intend to stay in office. Long enough to appoint my successor. What successor? Me. So meet, Mayor Paulina Price.

Can Abe really do that? He sure can. We checked the city charter and he has every right to appoint Paulina. Sorry. Phone rings.

Hey Dad. Yeah, I’m here with him now. Why?

Uh, yeah, no, I’m still here. Um, Yeah, of course I’ll tell him. I love you too, Dad.

What? Is that all you’re… Why does it ghost? What is it? It’s Victor.

What about him? Sal, I’m so sorry to tell you this, but… Your grandfather’s dead.

You’re right, Roman. I can’t keep it from him. I have to tell Philip. Kate?

You’re right. I should be grateful for what I have, just stop worrying and focus on how incredibly lucky I am to be marrying the woman of my dreams. Speaking of, can you stick around for the wedding? Last time I came to a wedding in this house, I was traumatized. Walked in to find Sonny marrying some grifter in a sharkskin suit.

Well, that was about blackmail. My wedding to Sarah is about love. And nobody loves Sarah more than Maggie. And I’m sure she’ll be heartbroken not to be here today. So my place is at her side. Of course. Well. I should get ready. Please, don’t make it all mess up. Xander, wait. Yes? I know I haven’t been the best uncle to you in the last few years.

But, you have proven to me that you are a true Kiriakis. And of that, I’m very proud.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Can you believe it? We’re on our honeymoon and in Iceland. Although it’s, um, it’s not very icy. It’s actually quite green. Yeah, it’s incredible.

Okay, I’ve got two things planned for us today. First thing is we are going to go on a hike in the Eldron Lava Fields. And then after that… A soak in the hot springs. Uh, hopefully we don’t mix those two up. Yeah, that would be quite problematic, wouldn’t it? Um, right, so anyway, it’s um, now quite high tourist season, so we best get a move on.

The concierge has gotten us tickets, but I think it’s best to just get ahead of the crowds.

Dmitri? Why don’t you look? All that excited. Is something wrong?

You got me a plane ticket to Iceland? Keep scrolling. Your hotel reservation’s in there too. Oh, my darling. Is there something else that you’d prefer to do today?

Good morning, Nate. Oh, hey. Ah, so you’re binging more episodes of Body and Soul, huh? Fun studying up. This episode was… Interrupted by one of my press conferences when I was mayor. Oh, so you’re trying to ease back into the swing of things, huh? I’m not easing back in. I’m jumping into the deep end. Getting ready for my, my first press conference.

Back as mayor of Salem.

Oh, I know you’re worried about your bakery closing, Janelle, but your mama’s gonna set things right. Mama, I appreciate whatever it is that you’re planning, but I actually wasn’t thinking about that right now. Oh? Well, what’s on your mind? I saw Talia last night. And? She told me she has feelings for me.

Yeah, that’s great. Um, I’m actually in a bit of a rush this morning, so… Right, okay. Uh, talk soon then. Johnny! Hey. Talia. I’m really glad that I ran into you. Awesome. Well, I am actually in a bit of a rush this morning, so, uh… Oh, yeah. I heard you just say that on the phone. Um, but this won’t take long. I really need to talk to you.

About Chanel. What about Chanel?

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

Tell you what about Chanel.

I don’t think that we have to put a label on it, but I do think that if you have romantic feelings for Chanel, you need to acknowledge that. Be honest with yourself. I

have romantic feelings for Chanel. The last time, um, you saw me, you expressed your concern about me hurting Chanel. And I just want to let you know that I’m not going to do that.

And, uh, these feelings that Taya has for you… You’re sure they’re not the pretend kind that she had for you before? Mama, please, let’s not start this right now. You know, you can’t blame me for wondering. I mean, look at that girl. What did she put you through? I know what she put me through, Mama, but Talia says that her feelings are real this time.

And she said that even though her intentions before were to get close to me so that she could… Break my heart that she actually did start to feel something and that’s why she did what she did to stop calling from hurting us. Mama, you’re not saying anything. Well, now I’m very protective of you and okay, if I’m being honest.

I would rather see you involved with someone who hasn’t hurt you the way she has. I mean, look what she’s put you through, like I said. But, you know, you know what? Okay, now that I think about it, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. What do you mean? Well, you said that Talia was interested in you romantically.

And, well, we started talking about it yesterday and, well… You never did really tell me how you feel about her.

And pause it. Well, uh, we finally got him situated at our place. I think he finally started to relax. I felt like I was really making some progress with him, but… But? But what? But that relaxation is over. He has decided to go back to being the mayor of Salem, and I tell you, I don’t think he’s ready.

So you called a press conference? Why isn’t the press banging down my door for a statement? Well, I didn’t call it. Deputy Mayor Clint Rawlins did, and I’m going to crash it. And announce his demotion and my triumphant return.

Sweetie, I don’t care what we do. As long as we do it together. I feel the same.

You know what? We don’t need to go to the lava fields. We could just stay here and see if we can make something else erupt. Well that is an enticing suggestion. But, uh, we are here.

In Iceland, we should probably go check out the sights, right? Enjoy all the wonderful things this beautiful city of Reykjavik has to offer. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I suppose. Mm hmm. So why don’t you head down and check in with the concierge? You can get those tickets, and I’ll put myself together and meet you in the lobby.

Okay, yeah. Fine. Plus, we do have tonight, don’t we? We could always give that bed a good workout. Indeed we do. Right, well I will see you in a bit I

guess Leo had another attack of conscience. I forgot your key, sweetie.

Look, I know that I’ve hurt her in the past. Pretty recent past, I tell ya. Yes, okay. Look, I just want her to be happy.

I can’t even believe I’m about to say this, but I think I might still have feelings for Chanel. What kind of feelings? I don’t know. Romantic feelings, maybe? Well, okay. That’s one thing we have in common. Johnny, I know you care about Chanel. Like, a lot. So this probably means me and you are probably never gonna be friends.

Seeing, you know, what I, um… Anyways… I just hope moving forward that we can at least be civil with one another. So, um, here. Take it. It’s a gesture toward future civility. And it’s just how you like it. You remember? Yeah, from when we used to come into the bakery. And it’s how I like it too.

Okay. To start. Thank you.

I’m not really sure how I feel about Talia. It’s complicated. Uh, I mean, it’s like I said before, like, I think that I can get past what she did to me and that she and I could be friends. Just friends? Well, when Talia told me how she felt. My heart, it did skip a beat, but, but my head is nowhere near ready to trust her again.

Well, you know, you just need to take the time, Chanel. That girl has put you through a lot, like I said. Though it’s completely understandable that you’re not willing to rush into anything. Thanks, Mama. I’m so glad we can talk like this. Oh, always, baby girl. And how about you? I know it was really hard for you, Abe moving out, at least for a while.

Oh, it was, and it still is. Oh, but I just have to wait. I just have to be patient. And I’m trying. Oh. I’m trying. I know, I know you are. Mama, and, and trust me, Ava’s gonna come around and, and when he does, when he, when he remembers who you are, I, I just wanna be there to see the look on his face. Well, that moment can’t come soon enough.

Look, I understand Abe wanted to get back to work, especially if it means that he can help Chanel with a bakery. But the job of mayor whew. That comes with a lot of pressure. Yeah. And on top of all that, uh, uh, there’s the press. Exactly. I mean, this whole story with Whitley King is huge. And the press have just been clamoring to get a glimpse of Abe.

And I just feel like if he jumps into the spotlight too soon, he’s gonna get burned.

I don’t remember The particulars of our friendship. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but I, I don’t believe it entails seeking your permission for every decision I’ve made in life. You’re not wrong, my friend. And Abe Carver always was his own man. And that’s obviously still the case. But buddy, Kayla and I have been talking about your intentions to go back to work.

And respectfully, we both think it’s a bit too soon. I mean, a week ago, you didn’t know your wife’s name. And let me tell you something, the press is not going to have the kindness or the patience to allow you to flip through those flashcards you’ve been studying before answering their questions.

I hate to say this, man,

but… What? Well, go ahead. Go ahead, say it. I think you’re going to crash and burn. They’ll rip you apart. And I bet they’ll have no qualms about cutting into today’s episode of body and soul to make sure everyone sees it.

Get in here before someone

sees you. I thought you I almost didn’t. You booked me on a connecting flight. You should know by now, Leo Stark only does non stops. Oh, my sincerest apologies. Now what the hell are you wearing? This is my snow jacket. It’s Iceland honey, though I haven’t seen a single cube of ice since my last gin and tonic on the plane the second plane It’s August.

Yo, I knew that. I also knew that it was speedo season You know, it’s hard for me to say what I missed most about you your idiosyncratic wit

It’s not hard for me to say what I miss most ah check that it is hard

Now, as much as I would love to continue our favorite subject, you really cannot stay. What? Why not? You don’t have to worry about our little Gwenny. I was lurking in the hall. I saw her take off. She looked like she was dressed to go climb Mount Everest. Mount Everest is in Nepal, and Gwen was just headed down to the lobby.

She really could be back any second now. You have to

Dimitri, are you just talking to someone

like. Could have sworn I heard voices in the hall.

Oh yeah, well, uh, I was on my phone. Uh, Ian Konu? Gesundheit. No, uh, Ian Konu is wife in Icelandic. I was playing it on the app. Wow, I am impressed. Thank you. While you were away, I was brushing up on my Icelandic. I want to be able to properly introduce you to the locals. Make sure that everyone knows that I am a happy newlywed.

And that you are taken. Gosh. That is just so very sweet of you, Dimitri. How do you say husband in Icelandic? If we run into any hot, young Icelanders, I want to tell them very emphatically that you are mine. Well, let’s see. Um, hmm. Uh, I can, um, uh, I can mail… God, that’s a mouthful, isn’t it? How about I just let you do all the Icelandic talking?

Okay. So, are you ready to go? Actually, I am so sorry, darling, but, um, I’m afraid I had some of that Icelandic… yogurt, and, well, I don’t know how to say this delicately, but, um, I’m Oh. Oh, dear. Is your tummy bothering you? Mm hmm. Oh, gosh. Well, yes, you are a bit flush, aren’t you? You weren’t this hot and warm when I left to go to the lobby, am I?

That’s what has come on quite suddenly. But I would hate for you to miss the lava fields. You’ve been waiting so long to see them. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. So you go. I’ll sit this one out and spend some time in bed, and hopefully I’ll feel a little better and join you for the hot springs later.

No way! No, I am your wife, your devoted wife, and I am going to nurse you back to health. I mean… For heaven’s sake, Dimitri, darling, we are on our honeymoon. And there’s nowhere else I would rather be

than with you and my husband.

Hi, Steve. Hey, Paulina. Ah, there he is. Ah. Ready to go, Abraham? Paulina. Hmm? Abe’s having second thoughts about this. Oh? Abraham, are you? I am not. Having second thoughts, please. Allow me to speak for myself. Remember what we talked about? Yes. I remember, but I didn’t change my mind. You’re not ready for the same.

Since when are you the arbiter of what I am or am not ready for? He’s a grown man, Steve. And I think that we need to respect that Abraham is capable of making his own decisions. And that that is the best way to help him start to become the man that he was. And the man that he will be again. Amen. Okay, so I’ll just help you into your chair and we can go.

Uh, no. As mayor, I need to be a man who stands on his own two feet.

Alright. Here we go. You alright? Oh,

well, now shall we go and kick Clint Rawlings to the curb? Yes, I’ll be right by your side. Good luck, buddy. Thank you.

I’m sorry we got interrupted the other day. Do you have, uh, time to… Finish our talk right now? I do. Come sit down. Okay. Fantastic.

I’m assuming… Did you want to talk about your feelings for Chanel? Have you had any chance to clarify those feelings? I have. Yeah. And I am now 100% sure that I have feelings for her, and I want her back in my life. As more than just a friend. I see. What I’m not. What I’m not sure about is what I should do about these feelings, you know, whether or not I should even act on them.

Is this a bad time? I was just about to go for a run. Clear my head. I mean, you can go do that. I can come back another time, it’s no big deal. No, no, no, it’s fine. Come in. I’m not in any rush.

So, uh, what’s going on?

It’s about what I said yesterday. Um, about me having feelings for you. I take it back.

And so, I knew I had feelings for Chanel. I just didn’t realize how deep they were until I heard she was thinking about becoming friends with Talia again. I see. I don’t know, it’s like, I just, I feel like I want to protect her. You know, and maybe that’s just me trying to play knight in Shining Armor, like in some black and white movie, trying to be the bogey to her B’Kal.

And maybe that’s just because I,

I don’t know, because I, I, lately I’ve been Chanel’s go to. You know, whenever she needs a shoulder to cry on. And that’s been nice. Makes me feel… Important. But more than that, you know,

When Chanel and I were married in Italy, That was real. And then it all just… Ended so abruptly and horribly. I know.

But Grandma, before it did, it was amazing. You know, the way that Chanel and I looked at each other at San Carlo, the Four Fountains, that was like we just, we, we, we walked right into a movie. You know, but it also felt real. More real than any moment I’ve ever had in my life.

Have you told Chanel about that?

No. No, I haven’t. Why not?

You take it back. So, you don’t have feelings for me?

Look, I, I shouldn’t have put you on the spot like that. It wasn’t fair. My feelings for you are, um, are my problem, not yours. And, um, I really don’t want to ruin any chance of us having a real friendship. So please, just forget that I said anything and act like I never said anything. Please.

Well, what if I don’t want to forget it?

Okay, my darling, what can I get you? Would you like some, um, crackers or, or club soda? Please, Gwen, I don’t want you to worry about me. Just go off and enjoy yourself, and then you can come back and nurse me right back to health. No, Demetri, I said I’m not going to leave your side. But I want you to. Honestly, it would only make it worse for you to be here, okay?

Hovering over me when I know you could be out there enjoying Iceland. I really want you to do that. I mean it Gwen, I mean it Gwen, please, please. It would, it would lift my spirits to know that at least one of us was out there taking advantage of being in this beautiful country. Are you

sure? Oh, I’m sure. But, uh, you should be alright here, all alone. Yes, of course I will. Like I said, I’ll be happy knowing that you are off having fun. Right, well, since you’ve, um… Obviously not giving me a choice. Then, um, I suppose I’ll just see you later then. Yes. Can’t wait. Yeah.

Have fun.

Bye bye.

God, I thought I was going to be stuck in there forever. So, how do you say, take me, you glacier of a man, and ravish me in this bed? Nice, Lampic. Hmm. I’m not sure there’s a good translation for that. So I guess I’ll just have to show you. Ahem.

Thank you all so much for coming. As you know, I’m Acting Mayor Clint Rawlings, and I’ve called you all here to announce my plans for the rest of my administration’s term. That won’t be necessary, Deputy Mayor Rawlings.

The man came to make a speech, and now he’s speechless. Abe Carver, ladies and gentlemen. It’s good to see you out of bed and back on your feet. I appreciate you showing up to support me, but shouldn’t you be resting, Abe? I know you’ve been through a lot and still have a long recovery ahead of you. I know you’d prefer for me to stay in bed.

But that’s over. And as we all are eager to hear what might be your agenda, I have an announcement to make. As of this moment, I am returning to my full duties as mayor of Salem. And my first official act will be to reopen my stepdaughter’s bakery.

I don’t know, I guess the reason I haven’t told Chanel how I feel yet is because I just, I, I, I… I don’t know if it’s the right time right now for that. And why is that? Grandma, she’s been through so much already. And now she’s dealing with the bakery being closed again. Not to mention I just made a pretty serious play for Wendy Shen.

And lost. I might not look very good if I just move on to someone else so quickly, you know? And then there’s my sister. I just went to New Zealand to visit her and things were great between us. But she and I were, you know, at each other’s throats for quite a while over Chanel. And even though she’s moved on and happy with someone else, I just, I don’t, I don’t know if I want to put Chanel between the two of us again.

Well, it sounds to me like you’re concerned about other people having feelings, having thoughts about it. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is how you feel about it, how you think about it. Like it’s, it’s always, always a risk to open up to somebody about your feelings, expose yourself and. Never being sure if they feel the same way about you.

But I can tell you, it is worth the risk.

And you are a courageous young man. I know you can handle whatever happens. Yeah,

you’re, you’re pretty good at this. Then give me a rave review. I will. Thank you. I’m gonna tell her how I feel. Yeah. Good. Let me know what happens. I will.

Like, you don’t have to say that, you know. Just to be nice. That’s not why I’m saying it.

So that means there’s a chance? Look, you caught me really off guard with all of this. But, I would be lying to you, and to myself, if I said that I didn’t feel something for you too. I mean when, when we kissed and we almost slept together, I really wanted to be with you.

I was just confused. Cause, you know, that’s what I want to do, you know, to just shout the whole world and be with you. Yeah, well, um, the whole world doesn’t really do a good job of staying.

Shut out. No. It doesn’t. Slum. What Your stepdaughter poisoned half this town. And that was not her doing, my baby girl, was a victim of a crime. And you, you abused the power of this town’s bureaucracy to carry out a personal vendetta. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. You weren’t wrong. But I don’t want to answer this out in public.

I only have one thing to say. Mr. Rawlings. I want your resignation on my desk by the end of this day. With all due respect, sir, it would be a dereliction of my duty to the citizens of Fair Salem. I cannot, in good conscience, let a man without the benefit of his full faculties take this office. I am more than capable of executing the duties of mayor of this town.

I’m sorry, Mr. Carver. But your judgment before your very painful and debilitating brain injury was questionable at best. Perhaps you don’t remember. So allow me to enlighten you. You appointed Commissioner Ray Fernandez, a man who admitted to having a sexually inappropriate relationship with one of his subordinates, an act which opened our city up to significant legal exposure.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Both of you.

Hi.

What’s wrong? I tried, sweetness. I did everything I could to keep Abe from making a big mistake. Mr. Rawlings, you’re telling me I should be ashamed of my daughter? Hmm. Paulina Price Carver has always put her own interests over the well being of the people of Salem. Dating back to her arrival in our fair city.

Upon which, she concocted a scheme to raise this very historic square we are all standing in. And now… In an effort to give favor to her daughter, she has turned a blind eye to said daughter’s negligence in creating a public health hazard and dragged her poor husband from his sickbed to advance her own agenda.

Ooh, you son of a How dare you.

I am not sick. I have fully recovered from my attack. Is that so? Then you won’t mind taking a few questions from the press. Mr. Carver, has your memory returned? Do you really think that you’re fit for office? How do you respond to the accusations about the attempts to reopen Sweet Bits Bakery?

I think that we just melted whatever ice was left in Iceland. Hell no! Now they’ll just have to call it land from now on. Or they could call it water land. You could be my Kevin Costner. Oh, this is perfect. Here we are. Together. On your honeymoon. With my best friend. Okay, I think I feel some of that ice coming back.

Damn it! Dimitri! On the way here, I kept telling myself, at the airport, on the plane, the second airport, the second plane, the third plane, the cab, the lobby, the hallway, on my way up here, I just kept saying, Leo, you cannot do this! You can’t do it to yourself! You can’t do it to Gwenny! I’m gonna open the door.

And there you are. And here we are. But I cannot go on like this. I can’t.

I checked. There is a flight, a direct flight, a cargo plane, so I will be in the cold, cold cargo hold with whatever it is they export from this place. Sugar cubes? I don’t know. So, it’s a good thing I have my parka.

What was that for? To shut you up. Well, it’s gonna take a lot more than that to shut me up.

I don’t know what happens next, but whatever it is, we need to take it slow. Yeah, no, I totally agree.

I should go.

Um, maybe we should hang out sometime.

There’s a free concert at the park tonight. Japanese takeout jobs. Yeah, it’d be kinda cool. Yeah. You wanna go? Um, I’d love to. So I guess this is a date? Yes. It’s a date. Neither are…

ferments? Perfect.

Mayor Carver, can you tell us who you plan to appoint as your new deputy if Clint Rollins honors your request to resign? Well, uh, I, I, I’m not sure as of yet. Can you give some names of candidates? Well, I, I, I’m afraid that I, I’m afraid he doesn’t know the name of any of the people who work in his administration.

Is that true? Can you tell us if you plan to uphold the temporary appointment of Sean Brady as police commissioner or are there other candidates from inside the department you might consider? Well, I, I, I’ll have to get back to you on that once I’ve had a chance to review. Has there been any improvement at all in your long term memory?

I am perfectly, mentally, and physically capable of performing this job as mayor of this town. Um, Mr. Carver, uh, can you name all the members of the city council? Or any of the members of the city council? Not one? Anybody, Mr. Carver? Um, how about the aldermen or other commissioners? How about your own daughter?

I hope Abe isn’t being barraged by questions right now. I don’t know how he can handle it. Well, you know what, maybe he changed his mind and he backed out. Hey. Hey. Hi. Abe went through with it. Yeah. Yeah. I was just, uh, checking on social media. Well, what did they say? Mayor Abe Carver made his first public appearance today, and his return to the spotlight is turning out to be something he wishes he could forget.

What’s your hurry? Granted, your heart’s set on these lava fields, the biggest in the world. She’ll be gone for hours. And then you can hide in your room and she’ll never know. Dimitri, don’t make this any harder, okay? Well, at least kiss me goodbye.

If I kiss you again, I’m not going to leave. Okay, fine, fine. At least tell me I’ll see you later.

Fine. You’ll see me later.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What the hell? Till death do you part from Doug and Julie Williams. You’re hilarious, Julie.

Good, you’re here. Working late tonight, yeah. Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be on your honeymoon? I should be on my honeymoon, definitely, but it’s kind of difficult to enjoy my newly wedded bliss when the man who tried to kill me is roaming free. So the question is, Melinda… When are you and the newly appointed police commissioner going to do something about it?

So, did Rafe and Jada give you a hard time about being the new commissioner? No, no they didn’t. They actually, they um, need a quick exit upstairs. Anyway, what did Kristen have to say? Oh, well, she was concerned that Rachel and Brady were M. I. A. But, my brother finally arrived and dropped Rachel off at that incident, of course.

Mm, stud. It boggles my mind how he lost custody of her. He must be going out of his mind. Yeah, he is. My dad called too. He’s really worried about Brady’s reaction and just hoping to hell he doesn’t do something rash.

What the same.

What is it? Sander, uh, there’s something I have to tell you.

What is it? Something wrong? I just spoke with the manager at the airfield. Um, Uncle Vic’s plane. Is it delayed? No, it’s not delayed. It’s missing.

What do you mean missing? How could it be missing? The Titan jet was scheduled to arrive an hour ago. But it never landed. What was the last communication from the pilot? No one can reach him. Air traffic control is checking the radar. So far, nothing. No sign of them. How can that be? How can that possi possibly be?

Oh God. Do you think Victor’s plane crashed?

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

What are you doing here, Lee? I heard you and Stefan finally got hitched. So, um… Brought you a gift. What is it, a bomb? Of course it’s not. You know I would never hurt you. No, just my husband. I told you already, Cabby. But I’ll, I’ll say it again. I had nothing to do with Harris Michael’s attempt on Stefan’s life.

That was Megan Drop the act, Lee. Stefan and I both know that you were involved. And sometime in the not so distant future, we are gonna prove it.

Seven, you know damned well I did my best to put Lee Shin behind bars. But Harris Michaels pointed the finger at Megan DiMera. He says he remembers her and Rolf plotting your death, but not Lee. As far as Michaels is concerned, Lee had zero part in it. Right, except we both know that that is not true. Lee was acting very suspiciously that night.

Kept insisting that his sister Wendy not go to the party because he knew something was going to happen. But where is the proof? Proof? What proof? Everything he did was proof! Stefan, I need a smoking gun. Without it, my hands are tied. Right. Okay, I get that. I do. It’s just…

Is it the lack of evidence? Is that the only reason you’re not going after Lee? Or is it because you’re dating him?

Whoops.

Well, I’m sorry that I left you in here with Jada and Rafe during that. Very awkward moment. Yeah, don’t worry about it. I mean, at least it didn’t go on too long. Yeah, Molly would have come back in sooner, but I ran into Chloe outside. And she had big news. Really? What is it? Your cousin Xander popped the question.

Oh. Wait, hold on, wait, no, he, wait, he proposed? Yep, and apparently it took her by surprise.

Oh no, right? Oh. No, not exactly. Well, she didn’t say yes either, but she did say that she was gonna take time to mull it over. Belle, what in the hell is wrong with her? I mean, no, he’s a menace. He’s a would be killer. I mean, he shot your mother and your brother. Believe me, I told her all of those things. But then Chloe just insisted that, you know, Xander regrets all his past mistakes.

And he’s so remorseful. And he’s a changed man. Ugh. Not to mention, she also said that whether or not she accepts his proposal, that if I want to keep being her friend, I have to accept that Xander is a part of her life. Look, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Hey, I wasn’t thinking. I just feel the pull between us all the time and I And what, Brady?

We are not together anymore. I know. I’m with Xander. I know, I know you’re with Xander. I ran into Xander and he told me that he proposed to you. He did, yes. He also told me that you haven’t answered him yet, which means to me, there’s still a possibility that I can talk you out of marrying that creep.

Maggie, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Look, that’s right. Maybe the plan’s just delayed. You know, for all we know, he could be on his way home as we speak. Well, why can’t they contact the plane? Or he, or locate it? Well, the whole thing’s a little tricky, seeing as Uncle Vic never filed a flight plan. Why?

Why didn’t he? Because he went to visit Bo in an undisclosed location, and he didn’t want to leave a paper trail. In case Megan DeMera was keeping tabs on him. Do you know where Moe is? No, he didn’t say. And, in fact, he didn’t even call me the whole time he was gone. Just to be on the safe side, he said. You know what, uh, I know this is a long shot, but maybe, maybe he’ll pick up.

Moose.

I have to say, that’s disappointing to hear. I was hoping that since now you’re happily married, we could let bygones be bygones. Maybe even be friends. Friends? Like, people who tag each other in photos, who meet up for Sunday brunch? Are you kidding me? Why would I trust you? Well, for one thing, you got married and I didn’t try to stop the wedding.

Or murder the groom. That’s a start. I don’t know what kind of game you’re playing, but I’m having a hard time believing the Mr. Nice Guy act, so you can shove that olive branch where the sun don’t shine and leave me and my husband alone. Oh, I got the message loud and clear when you showed up at my home and proceeded to point a gun in my face.

Oh, I’m glad you finally got the message! Honestly, Gabby, the last thing I want to do is interfere with your happiness. Yeah? Well, the only way I’ll know for sure that you won’t try is when you wake up every single morning to the sound of a nightstick rattling across the bars of your lonely little cell.

I can assure you, that’s not going to happen. Oh, yeah? Why is that? Is it because you’re screwing the DA? How did you know I was seeing Lee? Are you spying on me? No, no. No, I took the more economical route, and I picked up the latest issue of The Spectator, and I read Lady Whistleblower’s Column. Apparently, you and Lee have been seen canoodling all around town.

Oh, I would hardly call it canoodling. I mean, we were set up on a blind date, and believe me, neither one of us were thrilled. That first date was a dumpster fire. Really? What happened? You know what? None of, none of my business. No, no, no, it’s okay. I don’t mind telling you that I tried to trick him into Confessing on tape and we figured it out.

He stormed off Wow so You mentioned a second ago first date. Does that mean there’s a second? Unintentionally, yes, and to my surprise that turned out pretty well So well, in fact, that we planned another. But he skedaddled on me before that even began. And I haven’t heard from him since. Hmm. Believe me when I tell you, you are much better off.

I suppose so. Although, I have to say it was rather nice having my feelings returned for once. Melinda, you know, I think the world of you. Please, spare me. I am in no mood for a pity party. And to answer your not in the least bit inappropriate question from before, no, I am not letting Lee off the hook because, uh, he likes Scandinavian crime dramas as much as I do.

Believe me, there’s no conflict of interest. Great. Then let’s talk about how you’re going to put that psychopath behind bars.

Okay, I’m sorry, but that was way out of line. Xander is not a creep. No, he’s not. You’re right. He’s a man of integrity and extreme character, but he’s also a guy who left you in the clutches of a dangerous drug lord. He also shot me and left me to die. He also shot Marlena at her wedding. I don’t think creep actually describes him.

Okay, okay, I get it. Xander has done some terrible things in the past. He has, but… Guess what? So have I. And so have you, for that matter. What he did to Bonnie and Susan, that doesn’t even categorize as the past, Chloe. And he is filled with regret about that. I’m sure he tosses and turns every night about it.

I have felt his regret firsthand, and trust me, it is genuine. Well, look, I know that he can be stubborn, and arrogant, and impulsive. But I’ve also gotten to know a man who is kind and gentle and who listens. Are you in love with him? I don’t want to be having this conversation with you, Brady. No, it’s a simple question, and the fact that you can’t give me a straight answer means, to me, that whatever you think you have with Xander, it can’t hold a candle to what we once had.

What we once had, it crashed and burned in a pretty spectacular fashion. No, no, no, no, not for me. Not for me. And our chemistry is still there. I feel it. It is palpable. And I know you feel it too. Brady, I can, I can… And even when we just kissed, it was still there. You felt it. It’s always there. It’s always gonna be there.

Chloe Lane, I love you. I’m pretty sure you love me too, so all that’s left to do is for you to tell this guy who has conned his way into making you believe that he has changed and doesn’t deserve one more tender moment with you, much less a lifetime. Just tell him to take a hike, and please, for the love of God, come back to me.

Straight to voicemail. Wait, isn’t it possible that he’s still with Bo and Hope? I mean… Maybe there is an improvement in Bo’s condition, and he just wants to spend more time with his son. Yeah, maybe. Bo might even come out of his coma. Wouldn’t that be something? That would be fantastic. Do you have any way to get a hold of Hope?

Unfortunately, no, I don’t. I don’t have her burner phone number. I know somebody who does, though. Oh, yes. Anyway, enough about everybody else’s drama because we are here to celebrate your big promotion. And my stomach is growling, so maybe we can order. Yeah, yeah, come on, let’s take a look.

Oh, oh, it’s Maggie. I bet this is about Granddad’s homecoming dinner. I, I sort of blew it off. Hey, uh, Maggie, I’m really sorry I couldn’t make it to dinner tonight. Sean! Listen to me. I need you to call your mother right away. Why? What’s going on? Victor, um, is missing.

Well, are you or aren’t you? Not that it’s any of your business. Not to mention, it’s rather crass to inquire about other people’s sex lives. But no, I am not screwing Melinda Trask. Okay, first of all, it’s kind of ironic having a guy who plots murder calling someone crass for asking about their sex life.

Second of all, according to Lady Whistleblower, you’re at the very least canoodling with her. Who uses the word canoodle anymore? Okay, well, are you not romancing the district attorney? Why am I even surprised? Do you think that you’re so good in the sack that she’s just gonna forget to prosecute you? Is that what it is?

You know, that’s not the worst idea. I mean… You never filed any complaints in that department. I was being polite. I didn’t want to bruise your ego. I know that’s not true. But in all seriousness, Gabby, my relationship with Melinda Trask has nothing to do with you or Stefan. I’m just a heartbroken guy trying to move on.

I mean, the whole reason I got a matchmaker in the first place was so that you and I, we don’t have to do this sort of contentious thing anymore. I’m only trying to Okay, spare me your TED talk on your emotional resilience or whatever. I don’t care about your life, so stay the hell out of mine!

Look, I would love to see justice prevail, but again, without evidence, there’s not much I can do. Come on, Melinda. You’re a shark. Where are your fangs? Sharks don’t have fangs. Okay, your teeth. Your long, pointy, sharp teeth. Listen, I know you. And I know the brilliant, resourceful, talented attorney that you are.

I do. And I know that you can find a way to get a conviction even without the solid evidence. You just have to be creative. I am sorry, Stephan, but I am not breaking the law to help you. I’m not asking you to break the law. I’m asking you to do whatever you can within the law to put Lee away in a place where he will not come after me or Gabby ever again.

Has he threatened you lately? No, but I’m sure the news of our recent nuptials will push him over the edge. And I don’t want to spend the rest of our lives looking over our shoulders waiting for the other shoe to drop. Melinda, you don’t want to go to my funeral, do you? That depends. Will it be on a weekend?

Or a weekday?

Hey, Mom, it’s me. Listen, please give me a call back as soon as you get this. Poor Maggie, she must be so worried. Yeah, listen, I, there’s no reason to panic yet. I mean, there’s a million reasons why Victor’s plane could be missing. Okay, yeah, we’ll just keep thinking positively. Yeah, yeah, I just hope that my mom has some answers so I can put Maggie’s mind at ease.

That’s probably her right now. Mom?

Brady, come, come on. We both agreed that our relationship is… It’s over. It’s done. We’re good. We had so many obstacles and nothing has changed about that. Um, it’s not exactly true, Chloe. It’s heartbroken as I am that I lost custody of my daughter. Rachel’s living with Kristen now. So. What are you suggesting?

That you’d date me behind your daughter’s back? My God, Brady, if she found out that you’d kept that a secret, she’d feel so betrayed. She’d feel betrayed no matter what! Well, we maybe met, or… Maybe she would just realize that her father is in love with this wonderful woman, and she’d realize how wonderful you are in time.

And maybe she would even be happy for, for me and us together. That could happen. Brady, you… You are living in a fantasy land. And to be honest, even if Rachel wasn’t a factor, I have moved on with Xander. God,

really? Yeah, really. And you know I will always care about you. But, right now, the man I want to be with is Xander.

Please let Victor be with Bowen, Hope. Please. I’m sure Shawn will call back any minute and let us know. In the meantime, Maggie, why don’t you sit down on the couch and just try and relax?

You know, this is not how I envisioned this night going. It was supposed to be a joyful reunion with all of our family. I mean, sure, I knew there was a more than a decent chance that, that that dinner could turn out to be a big shouting match, but… Ending with Victor throwing his napkin on the table and storming out.

But I was so hopeful. Well, I would have been sorely disappointed if Uncle Vic didn’t call me an idiot at least a couple more times before it was all over. Same here. I was kinda hoping maybe he’d picked up a few new barbs across the pond, you know? I’ve actually come to enjoy his insults. Kind of makes me feel part of the family.

Well, rest assured that there will be plenty of insults to go around once Uncle Vic returns. Especially when he finds out how worried we were for absolutely no reason. Oh my God, we’re not going to hear the end of it. Oh, great. Sean, did you talk to your mom? Uh, I did. Is Victor still with her? Uh, no. No, he’s not.

Oh. Um, well, does she know if Victor’s flight took off late? Um, actually, it’s, um, it’s the opposite. Uh, Victor took off early. As in, um, three days ago. Oh,

beautiful. Who’s that from? My brother, Dario. Wow. Well, that is much nicer than the… 1970s microwave that my long lost cousin sent us. Complete with the meatloaf and frozen peas setting. Ugh. Yeah, well, I’m sorry to report that I donated it to the garbage truck. I’m glad you found a nice home for it. And hey, it’s like someone else, who was very thoughtful, dropped off another one.

Oh, my God. What? Stefan, you need to get rid of that right now.

Ugh, Leo Stark, that guspy little weasel. You know what, I’m gonna take that whistle from him and shove it so far. Melinda. Hi. I’m so glad I ran into you. You are? The way you dashed out of here yesterday, I thought you might be training for the Olympics. Though I do wonder, is being a total jackass considered a sport?

Okay, I get it. I deserve that. But please, let me explain. You don’t have to. I get it. You’re not that into me. I read the book. Actually, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

I don’t get it. If Uncle Vic left three days ago, where has he been all this time? Hope doesn’t know. She, uh, she was sure he was headed home. However, as far as I’m aware, he was, he was always due to return today. So, Victor’s been missing not just one evening, but three whole days? I’m sorry. That’s not helping.

It’s alright. It’s true. It is possible. He probably made a stop somewhere. Well, he probably found a Scotch and a crafts table in Monaco. Even so, wouldn’t he let Maggie know? I mean, I, I understand Victor being tight lipped about Poe’s location with good reason. But if he were flying somewhere, wouldn’t he at least put a quarter in a payphone and give Maggie a head heads?

I’m sorry. I’m making everyone just worry more. I’m… Lonnie. Actually, I couldn’t be more worried than I am right now. It is getting more and more strange, isn’t it? I know what I’ll do. I’ll call Shane at the ISA. Maybe he can find us some answers.

So let me get this straight. Victor left your mom three days ago. Did he say he was coming straight home? I mean, she just assumed that was the case. She said that he was, he was being vague about his plans. And did she say anything else? Anything that would indicate where Victor might have been going? No, no.

She just, she said that he… That he was very, he seemed very distracted. It’s like something was, something was weighing on him. And did she ask him about it? No, no. She said that she, she didn’t want to pry. Interesting. Well, it makes me wonder then, if maybe that had something to do with his disappearance.

Shane said he’ll look into it, but not to expect any answers anytime soon. Well, I guess then there’s no sense in everyone hanging around here. I got it. Mind staying? Keeping you company? No, no, I second that. I’m staying right here with you, Wanda. No, you should both go. I mean, honestly, I have Justin and, and Bonnie here, and I’m all right, really.

You should, you should go, both. You sure? Yeah, yeah, I’m sure. We’ll keep everyone updated, I promise. Hey, I’m sure this is all just a big misunderstanding, yeah?

Uncle Vic’s gonna walk through that door any moment now, I know it. I hope you’re right. Oh, um, earlier you said you had something to tell me. What was it?

Exactly. Are you saying, Chloe, I mean, are you really gonna, are you gonna marry Xander? Marry him? I, I haven’t decided that yet, but… All I know is that we are in a committed relationship, and for now, all I’m willing to offer you is friendship.

Well, um, I guess I’m gonna have to understand, you know what, I’ll try to understand this. Thank you. So, no more impulsive kisses? Aria’s about how you want me to come back to you. I’ll tell you what, I’ll do, I’ll do you one even better. I promise you’re not gonna find me outside your room at 2 in the morning holding a boombox over my head in a trench coat, alright?

If Xander

is what you want, I will try to

accept it. Thank you.

Hey. Friends? Yeah. Friends.

Um, gosh. I don’t remember what I was going to say. Oh, we were just talking about how I’d proposed to Chloe, and I was going on about how I’d moved on, since Sarah had too. I’m just thrown by Sarah’s pregnancy, and her determination to keep it from Xander. My God! He has a right to know that he’s going to be a father.

Um, you know what? It really wasn’t important. We can talk about it some other time. Of course. And please, just let me know as soon as you hear anything about Victor, yeah? Oh, I will. Promise.

Okay, wait, maybe, maybe my grandpa just needed some time to himself before he returned home. I mean, I mean, if his visit with my father had him shaken, which I’m sure that it did, then maybe, maybe he just needed some time to regroup, right? But he’d have to know that Maggie would worry. I mean, if he needed alone time, he, he should have found a way to get in touch with her.

Yeah, well, he’s never been known to be considerate of other people’s feelings. Not even his loved ones. I mean, you, you saw how he blamed me for what happened to my dad. Even though he knew you were already hurting. Yeah, and I haven’t spoken to him for months because of that very reason. But,

I mean, what if, what if something did happen to him? But if something happened to him, I would feel terrible. I mean, what if I never get the chance to work things out with her? Listen, Melinda, before we met up yesterday, I had a long talk with my sister, and she insisted that I couldn’t trust you. What? Why?

Uh, because you secretly tried to get a recorded confession out of me. I, I apologize for that. So, Wendy thought it was possible that you were… Playing some sort of long game. Trying to get close to me, to ensnare me. I’m afraid that once that got into my head, I couldn’t get it out. So, when we met up, I fled, and I admit, it was cowardly, and I’m sorry.

Honestly, uh, I’d like to just wipe this lake clean, get us back on track. So I take it you’re not worried anymore that I’m playing the long game, trying to ensnare you. No, I’m not. Besides, I’m an innocent man. Which means I have nothing to fear from you. Right? Listen, I know you. And I know the brilliant, resourceful, talented attorney that you are.

I do. And I know that you can find a way to get a conviction even without the solid evidence. You just have to be creative. Of course, you have nothing to fear. You see, um, the more we’ve gotten to know each other, the more that I believe in your innocence. But I totally understand if you’d have trouble trusting me.

So I have to ask, are you sure you want to give this another go? rancing the district attorney? I mean, why are you even surprised? Do you think that you’re so good on the side that she’s just going to forget to prosecute you? Is that what it is?

There’s nothing I’d like more.

I can’t believe Lee would have the gall to show up here like that. He said he wanted a fresh start, to be friends. But I know behind the BS talk of a detente is an ulterior motive. Probably wants us to lower our guard so he can drop a bomb on us, maybe even a literal one. Lee may be a homicidal maniac, but he’s not stupid.

He knows that if he gift wrapped a bomb and gave it to us, it’d be traced back to him. Yeah, well, I’d still feel better if you got rid of that thing. What? You’re not at all the least bit curious as to what might be in here? Oh, yeah. Yeah, let’s give in to our curiosity, and then all of a sudden you hear a big, loud bang.

Pull back to see the house in flames, smoke billowing out into the evening sky. Gabby, there’s not a bomb in this box.

See? Tick, tick, tick. You see? I knew it was a bomb. I am still not convinced. Listen, here’s a thought. Let’s just open. Okay, but just in case. I love you and I’ll see you in the afterlife. Ah. See? Would you look at that? It is just a harmless little clock. Okay. Well, it may not be a bond per se, but Li once told me that in Chinese culture, giving a clock as a gift is bad luck.

Really? Yes, really! Essentially, it’s wishing someone dead.

So the word normalcy. Total invention. Coined by Warren G. Harding, 1920. I’ll remember that next time I’m on Jeopardy.

You know, I like this.

That makes both of us.

So I have to address the elephant in the room. I suppose you heard by now that Gabby and Stefan tied the knot. You must have been pretty bummed about that. Yeah, if I’m being honest… There’s a kick in the gut. But, it helps to have a fascinating, gorgeous woman sitting across from me. Well, thank you. And uh, how about you?

I assume there’s still some lingering feelings for Stefan. Stefan who?

I’d like to propose a toast. To us. We may have gone off to a bumpy start. But something tells me we’re going to get it right this time. Actually, let me amend that. Um, to us. And to starting over. And if I may add something. I promise. No more hidden agendas.

As soon as Uncle Vic gets home, we’re gonna have that dinner. And in addition to that, we are all going to make a much bigger effort to get along. Speaking of dinner, Maggie, you must be starving. Why don’t I have Henderson warm up that chicken marsala from the other night? Well, the truth is, I… I don’t have much of an appetite.

In fact, I think I’m gonna go and lie down. Listen, if I somehow manage to fall asleep, you wake me the moment you hear anything, won’t you? Of course. Okay. But I have a feeling by tomorrow morning, Uncle Vic will have marched right through that door.

Why don’t I help you settle in upstairs? No. No, it’s okay, Bonnie. I’m fine. Are you sure? I’m sure.

It’s gonna be okay. Okay. Okay.

Dad, I didn’t want to say anything in front of Monty Mack, but This whole thing does not seem very good at all. Honestly, I don’t know what to think. Right. So I guess now we just… Wait. And pray. Try and stay positive. I will. I will. I’m, uh, I’m gonna go take off, so, um, just please keep me posted if you hear anything at all, all right?

I’ll let you know. Thanks, man. I’ll talk to you in a bit. Good night, Bonnie. Good night, sweetheart.

Honey, this waiting is so hard for you, I know. And Maggie, too. You know, I gotta go check on her, okay?

Shane?

Hello?

Well, I better get the hell out of here before I embarrass myself any further. Well, if you can’t embarrass yourself in front of your friends, what good are they?

Oh, wow. Let me guess. This knight in shining armor rode in to talk you out of accepting my marriage proposal. Actually, you’re right. I tried. You’ll be happy to know. That I failed. Miserably. I’ll see myself out. Wait, wait, wait. There’s, uh, Something you should know. About Victor. Oh, yeah, right. That was, that was the homecoming dinner.

No, that wasn’t one. He’s missing.

Hey, don’t go there. Okay, we don’t even know if anything’s even wrong. So really, there is no sense in torturing yourself over what ifs. Yeah, yeah, you’re right. You’re right. I’m sure Victor’s fine and he’s probably gonna be home any minute. When he is, he and I can sit down and we’ll repair our relationship.

You know, it’s, it’s moments like these when it makes you remember what’s important. Yeah. Instant perspective, right? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I just hope that we get some answers

soon.

Thank you, Shane. Let me know if you hear anything else. What do you say?

The Coast Guard found wreckage from the Titan jet. It appears to have hung down over the Mediterranean. Oh, my God. What about Victor? No word yet on any survivors. Oh, honey. Oh, honey.

Oh, my God.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 What in the hell was that for? One minute you’re offering me a glass of wine and the next minute you’re throwing it in my face? What’s going on? I know, Chad. You, you know what? I know you went behind my back and warned Alex to stay away from me.

Sorry, Chad. So much for a gentleman’s agreement. Good. You’re still here. Hey, Dad. What’s up? Oh, you weren’t answering your phone. But your office said that you were here for a meeting. Oh, so you’re tracking me down. It’s got to be urgent. It is. It’s about your Uncle Vic.

Do

you have to do that here? Those tubes are unpleasant. The nail polish… I’m sorry, Maggie. I, I just, I thought you were out. I just got back from Chicago. Chicago? Mm hmm. I paid Sarah a quick visit. How, how, how was she when you saw her? There’s no need to dance around the pregnant elephant in the room, Bonnie. I know my daughter’s having a baby.

Your mom knows you’re pregnant? Mm hmm. She popped in for a surprise visit to find out why I hadn’t told her that you and I are back together, supposedly. Let me guess, we have Bonnie to thank for that one. We do indeed. Did Bonnie tell her everything? No, surprisingly. She kept the pregnancy to herself. My mom took one look at me and that was that.

What did you say? I tried to make her believe it was yours,

but she saw right through me. She knows the baby is Xander’s. Damn it, Rex. What am I going to do? Okay, look. I don’t know what you’re so worried about. You think she’s just going to run over there and tell him? No. I mean, she, she promised that she would keep my secret. But what if it just, what if she changes her mind?

What if it just slips out? Look, your mom said that she’d keep your secret. I’m sure you could trust her. Too many people know, Rex. It’s just a matter of time before somebody blabs to Xander, and once they do, then there’s nothing I can do to stop him from being a part of my child’s life. Actually, there is.

You can marry me.

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

No, dad. I just talked to Kristen. Yeah. Brady had to bring Rachel back to her just like the court ordered. I know. He must be really suffering. No, I’m not giving up on his case. Not by a long shot. Listen, we are gonna get through all of this like we always do, as a family. I love you, too. That sounded ominous.

Hey, you. Hey, sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. Oh, no, it’s okay. So, something going on with your family? Uh, yeah. Brady was forced to give Rachel back to Kristen.

Oh, cheer up, matey. Basic black stock price can’t be that bad, can it? Sandra, don’t take this the wrong way, but you are literally the last person I want to share oxygen with right now, okay? Oh. Pretty sure I know what this is about. Do you? Yeah. And, believe it or not, you have my sympathies. Really? Yeah. I mean, I don’t know how you’re even coping right now.

Must have been devastating for you to find out that Chloe and I are getting hitched.

I’m so sorry, Maggie. I really wanted to tell you about Sarah’s pregnancy, but she swore me to secrecy. Yeah, I’m sure she did. Look, I’m just glad she came clean with you finally. Well, she didn’t have a choice. I mean, I’m afraid the truth is obvious. She must be ready to pop by now, huh? Well, um, not quite. But this is good news, right?

Uh huh. I mean, another grandbaby for you and Victor? And I know he’s not your favorite person, but Rex will make a great daddy. Save it, Bonnie. When I said I know everything, I meant everything. Everything? Everything. Including Xander. Being the father of my unborn grandchild.

I mean, that is what you’re so obsessed about, right? You heard that I asked Chloe to marry me. No. No. Not why I’m upset. I’m upset because I lost custody of my daughter to Kristen. Oh, well. Well, that is a kick in the bollocks, isn’t it? Yeah, Xander, to put it mildly, it is. And by the way, please tell me you’re joking.

About what? You and Chloe. There’s no way she’s gonna marry you. Oh no, I’m dead serious about that. Yeah, I mean, might have jumped the gun a little bit on the announcement. Chloe’s mulling over my proposal. Mull? Okay, that means she didn’t say yes. I’m giving her space to decide. But I have no doubt, cousin, I fully intend to meet Chloe Lane, Chloe Cooke.

Oh my god, poor Brady. How is he doing? I mean, that’s a stupid question. He must be horrified. Yeah, he is. So, full custody? Full custody. I think he’s gonna need a lot of support dealing with all of this. I hope he can count on you. What do you mean, Belle? You know that… Brady and I aren’t together anymore, right?

What? Yeah, I mean, you guys are still friends, right? I mean, you’ve been in each other’s lives forever. Yeah, but I’m with Xander now, and Brady hasn’t exactly been supportive of our relationship. Well, can you blame him? I mean, no offense, but Xander’s a criminal and a total loser. Wow. Why would I take offense at that?

Oh, come on, Chloe. You know it’s true. You can’t compare what you had with my brother to whatever this is going on with Xander. You don’t know anything about our relationship. Well, I know that he’s not capable of making any type of real commitment. Oh, really? Is that why he just asked me to marry him?

You’re not serious. Us. Get married. Oh, I’ve already offered to parent this child. And look, if we’re married, I will legally be the father of him or her and I’ll automatically be on the birth certificate. Yeah, but a simple DNA test will prove that it’s Xander’s. Yeah, if it comes to that. Which it very well might.

Okay, so what if it is, what court in America is going to award Xander Cook parental rights? A convicted felon versus, versus two upstanding doctors? Rex, this isn’t about some hypothetical custody battle. Oh, look, you already said. That it might come to that. I think, well, We have to face the fact that Xander is eventually going to find out.

I mean, your mom is married to his uncle for one thing. Yeah,

that is going to be a part of this child’s life. And Bonnie, and Justin, they’re not just going to go away. And Sarah, can you really see yourself never coming back to Salem just to keep this child a secret from Xander?

No. No, Salem is my home. I want my child to know where we come from.

Rex, I’m just… I’m not sure that you and I getting married is the answer. It’s okay. Because I’m sure enough for the both of us.

Well, what do you have to say for yourself? Look, I was just… I was just coming… Okay, listen. I was just coming home to tell you myself. Easy to say now that you’re busted. Okay, you know what? If you would just let me explain. I mean, We had a gentleman’s agreement, first of all. A gentleman’s agreement? That’s what you’re upset about?

You’re actually pissed off at Alex? Steph. Alex isn’t the bad guy here, Chad. You are. Him and I, we had discussion. He promised not to say anything. And obviously he was lying so he could wait for the right moment to make me look bad, which he has. Oh, you don’t need anyone’s help to look bad. And for your information, Alex didn’t rat you out willingly, I had to drag it out of him.

Yeah, okay. It’s the truth, Chad. Alex kept making up excuses for why he and I couldn’t work together on Basic Black’s project with Yuri, until I finally forced him to admit that you told him to stay away from me, or else, whatever that means. He was willing to blow a business deal to protect you. God, Chad, where the hell do you get off making decisions about who I spend my time with?

Just let me explain myself for a minute. Explain what? You do realize that Alex’s jealousy over my friendship with you is what ruined our relationship? Yes. And now you’re doing the same thing. What’s next? You gonna start looking through my phone? Turning it off so that we’re not interrupted? No, stop. I would never do that, Stephanie.

I’m not so sure. Okay, look, I am sorry. I’m sorry. I was out of line. Okay, but I, I, I, and, and I should have never listened to EJ’s stupid advice. EJ? You’re listening to your brother’s advice on relationships? Yeah, okay, I’m sorry. I was frustrated and I was feeling insecure. Insecure? When have I ever made you feel insecure?

What the hell is going on with you, Chad?

Look, it’s, it’s one thing to pretend you’re the father to help me out of a jam with Bonnie, but… Merit? Rex, that is a lifelong commitment. That’s all I’ve heard.

What about Emily? Are you kidding me? She’s always begging Mimi and me to give her a sibling. I mean, she’d be thrilled to be a big sister.

What about you? Me? Yeah. How do you feel about this? Just turning your entire life upside down to help me out. Turning my whole life upside down? No. No, Sarah. I wouldn’t turn my life upside down at all. Being with you. Being married. To you. Nothing. Nothing would make me happier than that.

I’d never, never stop loving you. And I never will.

You’re delusional. Chloe’s never gonna marry a man like you, ever. You’re delusional to think that it can’t happen. Chloe and I are great together. We’re compatible in every conceivable way. Much more than you two ever were. You have no business saying that at all. You’ve known her for what, like five minutes?

Yeah, and I’ve already made her happier than you ever did. And besides, if Gwen can get married to Eurotrash Von Poser and Sarah can go back to Dr. Boring Rex Brady, what’s so preposterous about Chloe and me time now? Okay, so that’s what this is all about. What? You’re not rushing to propose to Chloe because you love her.

You want to marry my ex so you can stick it to yours.

Xander proposed to you? He did. Yes. And you turned him down flat, right? Actually, no. Chloe, seriously? But I told him we both need to think about whether marriage is the best next step for us. Spoiler alert. It’s not. And you’re so sure about that? Why? Oh my god, Chloe, are you really asking me that? Yeah, I’m asking you that.

Xander and I have gotten really close, and I care about him a lot. Chloe, you and I have known each other since high school, and you have made some really great decisions, but you have also made some really bad ones, and if you say yes to Xander Cook, this is definitely going to end up in that latter category.

You know, why are you being like this, Belle? I mean, if the man makes me happy, then Oh, no. I want you to be happy. You know that. But you’re talking about a huge commitment to a guy who is as screwed up and dishonorable as they come. Oh, always look at me. Look at me. Are you really telling me that you could actually see yourself as the future?

Mrs. Xander Cook.

So Aunt Maggie is throwing a welcome home party for Uncle Vic. Yes. He’s on his way back from visiting Bo. Hope you can make it. Does Aunt Maggie know that you’re inviting me? Yes. Mm-hmm. . She specifically said she wanted you to be there. And what about Uncle Vic? Is he gonna want me there? Why wouldn’t he? I mean, Daddy probably isn’t that happy right now that I’m working for Brady.

Basic blank is a subsidiary of DiMera. There’s nothing the old man hates quite as much as DiMera. Which means I am clearly a traitor. No, no, look, Uncle Dick is hurting. He got Bo back to only possibly lose him again. So tonight is all about coming together. Has a whole family for him. Brady’s been invited.

So I’m hoping the three of you can put aside your corporate warfare for one night. Where have I heard that before? Please son, do it for me. Your Uncle Vic is not getting any younger. All right. I’ll be there. I’m gonna kick out on you. Oh, I mean, hey, it’s gotta be better than going back to my place. At least I have a dinner at the house.

I won’t be having any random run ins with Chad. What’s going on with you and Chad? I didn’t mean to, but I think I may have just torpedoed his relationship with Stuffy.

Okay, you know what? The truth, Alex, has been getting under my skin for a long time now. By doing what? By doing what? Are you serious, Steph? I’m He’s always popping into our lives. He’s he’s joining us on our date. He’s always showing up to our damn door shirtless. Okay, if you were intending to give him hell, the way you apparently did, to basically exile him from our apartment and our lives, you should have talked to me about it.

How? I didn’t want to put you in a difficult position. So instead you went behind my back and tried to manipulate my life. Yeah. Okay, I realize that was a mistake now. It’s a little late, don’t you think? Steph, I’m sorry. I know that I was being a possessive jerk. And I know that you broke up with Alex because he did something just like that.

Can you forgive me?

Or are we done too?

I’m not breaking up with you, Chad. You and I made a commitment. Not just to each other, but to your kids.

There’s a limit to what I’ll put up with.

So I need to know that you trust me. And, if I ever give you any reason not to… You need to come to me and talk to me about it so that we can work through it together. And not go behind my back and try to control me. Do you think you can do that?

Okay, Henderson said Victor’s and loaded. Coke is hard at work at a traditional Greek menu. We’re all good. Well, thanks for checking on that for me. Of course, Maggie. Of course. But I have to say, you don’t seem like you’re much in a partying mood. Oh, Bonnie, I’m eager to welcome Victor home. Honest. I’m just thrown by Sarah’s pregnancy and her determination to keep it from Xander.

My God, he has a right to know that he’s gonna be a father. Yeah, the guy kidnapped me. Had me jumping at shadows for months, but even I agree. Justin, too. Justin knows about the baby. I didn’t mean to tell him, it just kind of slipped out. I’m not the best at keeping secrets. This is going to be one big powder keg.

He thinks Andrew’s going to go kaboom when he finds out his family knew about the baby and didn’t tell him about it, right? Oh, that’s the least of about my daughter and the baby. Nothing good ever comes from these kinds of lies.

I mean, I don’t know why it should surprise me, I mean, you told me that you still cared about me, I think a year ago? Yeah, yeah, it was the night that Abigail died. Right,

I just, uh, I just thought you got over me. Over you. No. Never. Sarah, ruining our marriage is… It’s one of the biggest regrets of my entire life, and… I know you, you… You weren’t exactly looking to get back together with me, but this baby… Our, our baby…

This is a chance for me to… To fix something that never should have been broken.

And to show you that you have my heart.

You always will.

That is, if you’ll let me.

Have you fallen off the wagon again, Brady? You’re not making any sense. No, I’m making perfect sense. I’ve never been more sober. I understand the only reason why you want to marry Chloe is because every other woman in your life… It’s had a good sense to run away from you. Oh, I’ll be sure to let Chloe know that you think that she’s too dumb to recognize when she’s being lied to.

I’m sure Chloe’s already on to you. Look, my proposal has nothing to do with Gwen or Sarah. I love Chloe. I want to marry her. Spend the rest of our lives together. Maybe even have a couple of kids together. No. Uh, no. She will never have kids with you. You know, this just sounds like the saddest of graves coming from you, Brady.

Probably because you’ve only ever succeeded in knocking up two women wholly unsuitable to be mothers. Hey, hey. Don’t talk about my children, Xander. I wasn’t talking about your children. I was talking about their mothers. Never disparage your kids or anyone else’s, but point taken. I’ll make sure that your name is left off the guest list.

Right, by the way, we should probably start heading over to the mansion for… Uncle Victor’s homecoming soirée.

You forgot, didn’t you? What a doting, devoted grandson. I’ve been a little preoccupied handing my daughter over to a sociopath, okay? Yeah, we all have our crosses to bear, I suppose. But hey! If Chloe accepts my proposal, maybe we can all celebrate Victor’s return home? And my pending nuptials.

Do I really need to rattle off all of Xander’s crimes for you to come to your senses? I am fully aware of who Xander is and what he’s done. Okay, great, so you’re just cool with the fact that he shot my mom? No, of course not! But that was a really long time ago. Oh. I didn’t know there was a statute of limitations on something like that.

Okay, well then let’s just stick to this more recent crime, shall we? Are we really doing this? What? You don’t want to talk about the fact that Xander’s responsible for Susan Banks death? Susan is dead because Ava Vitale drove them both off of a cliff. And Xander works for Ava. And kidnapped Susan and Bonnie.

And he feels horrible about that. He should feel horrible. He should also be in prison. You know, his guilty conscience isn’t going to bring EJ’s mom back. We’ve all done things that we’re not proud of. But Xander has changed. Wow. I wonder how many times he’s said that. You know, you should probably call Sarah Horton and ask her about Xander promising to be a better man.

Oh, wow. Okay, you know what, this conversation is over. No, wait, wait, wait. Just, listen. This is what best friends are for, okay? We’re supposed to tell each other the hard truths. And, you know what, sometimes best friends just stand by each other. Even when one of us knows the other one is making a huge mistake?

What about you? What about me? Didn’t I stand by you when you went off screwing EJ?

Are you sure you didn’t violate the terms of this so called gentleman’s agreement on purpose? I can see why you would think that, Dad, but no, I was really trying to keep this to myself. All right. Fine. So it wasn’t intentional. But… But what? Isn’t there a part of you that wants another chance with Stephanie?

I’d be lying to you if I told you I was completely over her, but… I really was trying to move on then. Except that you are now living across the hall from her. But you can’t be easy. No, no, no. And I admit I haven’t been the best about keeping my distance. Just at the dating scene here in Salem, Dad, it’s brutal.

It’s like everybody knows one another, or everybody’s afraid of being the next person at the lady whistleblower column, you know, some write up. I mean, yeah, I can call in like a late night sneaky link if I need to, but… Wait, what? Sneak a link? What’s

that? That, you know, Don’t worry about it. Never mind. Did you just… Okay, Boomer, I didn’t mean to do that. I didn’t. Just be happy you’re not single, alright? Trust me. I thank God every day for Bonnie. Yeah, well, you’re a lucky man. It’s a war out in that field. Don’t tell me you’re letting your ill fated evening with Melinda Trask discourage you from dating.

No, no, no, no, no. I just need to keep working on myself. You know, and then maybe, hopefully, attract the right kind of woman into my life. There you go. That’s all you can do. Yeah. Now, what do you say we go back home and get ready to welcome Uncle Vic back? Sure. I could use something to celebrate.

Steph, I swear to you that I will never, ever again go behind your back. And I will never, ever again try to handle you or control you in any way. Whoever you want to work with or be friends with is, is completely up to you. Not me. I know that. I honestly don’t even know what the hell I was thinking. You weren’t.

You were listening to EJ. Yeah. WWSD. What was that? EJ’s stupid advice. WWSD. What would, um, What would Steve not do? You’re not serious. I mean, paid it literally. Chad, by all accounts, your father was… I’m not somebody to emulate. Especially when it comes to relationships. Even Kristen knew it was all going to blow up in my face.

Then why didn’t you, Chad? I mean, I, I love what we’ve built together. You’re, you’re everything I could have asked for in a partner and, and I feel like I’ve been the same for you. Yeah, you have. And then some. So then why? Why be so petty? Why deceive me?

Because I was scared. Scared of Alex? No.

Scared of, uh, of losing you. And scared of you deciding that maybe all of this was just… Was too much me. My baggage to kids living together. Did I ever give you any reason to be scared? No.

Steph, you’re not just some random girlfriend. You’re the first woman I have let myself have feelings for since I have you. And I’m absolutely terrified of it all going away. Again.

So now you’re just trying to hurt me. No, I’m just pointing out that it’s very hypocritical of you to be so hard on Xander. So, I’m a hypocrite. You’re standing here throwing Xander’s sins in my face, and what about you? You left your marriage to go shack up with E. J. DiMera of all people. Okay. First of all, Sean and I were separated at the time, and you were very supportive when I told you that E.

J. and I were seeing each other. Yeah, because unlike you, I don’t judge my friends. Oh, my God. Chloe, I’m just trying to help you. I don’t want your help! Yeah, well… You wanna do this? Let’s do this. You talked about Xander shooting your mom. What about EJ? He shot your dad. And let’s not even mention all the awful things he did to your own sister.

Well, I am not here defending EJ. And I’m not here to defend Xander. But you’re considering marrying him. Chloe, I, uh, I am just trying to keep you from throwing your life away on a guy who doesn’t deserve you. Look, I, I appreciate your concern, but… I’m a grown ass woman. I can make my own decisions about my love life, and I would appreciate it if you were a friend, and you’d respect me as an adult.

Okay, you’re right. You’re right, Chloe. But if Xander steps out of line, even one time, you’re gonna be there to say I told you so? No. I’m gonna be there to help you kick his ass from here to Scotland. Okay, deal. Come here.

Listen, I do appreciate you caring about me, alright? Of course. I love you. I love you too. Okay, I gotta go. Right. Oh, and tell Sean congrats on the promotion to police commissioner. Yeah, will do. And if you happen to see Brady, will you tell him I’m so sorry about Rachel? I will.

Oh, Brady, I’m so sorry about Rachel. I can’t believe anyone would give full custody to Kristen. Yeah, me neither. I’m sure Maggie can understand that’s why I’m not really up for a big family gathering tonight. Are you sure? I mean, it might be nice to be around family. I just don’t need Grandfather reminding me of how I shouldn’t have been involved with Kristen in the first place.

Or Xander bragging about his possible engagement. Engagement? Xander? Yeah, you didn’t hear? Oh, Xander has proposed to Chloe. I’m here. Let the festivities commence. Uh, well, I should be going, Brady. Um, I’ll make your excuses to Victor. And listen, if you change your mind, um, we’re here. Good luck tonight.

The golden grandson isn’t attending? What a shame.

Rex, you know that I care about you, but… Marriage is a huge step. Yeah, one we’ve taken before. That ended well, didn’t it? Okay, yeah, but I think we’re a little older and wiser. Well, older at least. I think we both know what it takes to make a marriage work.

You’re serious about this, aren’t you? More serious than I’ve ever been in my life.

I don’t know what to say. I’ll help you out.

Dr. Sarah Horton, say that you’ll marry me. It may be the happiest husband and father to be on the planet.

Well, if it isn’t everyone’s least favorite clown. Hello Bonnie, lovely evening isn’t it? You seem chipper. Why wouldn’t I be? Love is in the air, Uncle Victor’s on his way home from far away adventures, like Odysseus himself. How’ve you been? Well, I haven’t seen any homicidal bozos lately, so that’s a plus.

Bygones, Bonnie, bygones.

Xander, I need to talk to you. Okay, what about? Um. Hello, Kiriakises! Hi! Hey, everybody. Hey, Justin, how’s my favorite cousin doing? No offense, Alex. None taken. You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna call the airfield because I think Victor’s plane should have landed by now. Okay. Hey, Auntie Meg. Hello, Alex. I’m glad you’re here.

I’m sure your uncle will be very pleased to see you. Yeah, Dad told me he’s been really down lately, just with everything going on with Bo. He has, yes, but I think with all the family here tonight, that’s gonna help. So, um, what do you say that you and I put aside our differences? For Victor. For Victor. Oh!

Thank you.

Chad, I’m not gonna lie. Our relationship does come with a lot of responsibility.

I mean, we have so much fun together. But I understand the stakes. I would never take lightly how important this is for you and for Thomas and Charlotte. I loved Abigail too. I wouldn’t have allowed myself to fall for you if I wasn’t in this for the long haul. I know. You should know that you are in no danger of losing me.

Not to Alex Kiriakis. Or any other rando who shows up at our door without a shirt on. You… You… Are the only man I want to be

with.

So… You want me to make it up to you by… Making one of my famous dinners?

Maybe later.

Coming.

Brady. Hey. Can I come in? Yeah, of course.

Listen, I heard about what happened with Rachel. I’m so sorry. Is there anything that I can do?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey. Hey. Great weather today, huh? Wish it were like this all the time. Yeah, I know, right? I’ll see you. Uh, um, I almost forgot. I finished that book that you said you wanted to read. The one on time management. You can come by later and pick it up.

I want you to stop showing up at my doorstep without your shirt on. Stop bringing over dinner. Stop coming by to shoot the breeze. Just stop. That’s okay. I’ll probably never read it anyway. See ya. Oh. Okay. Guess I’ll see you later then.

Oh, get this. According to our friend Lady Whistleblower, Alex Kiriakis moved in across the hall from Stephanie and Chad. Seriously? Mm hmm. Crazy, right? Can you imagine? How awkward? Living across the hall from your ex. No, I mean, you’re seriously talking to me about a gossip column right now? Well, what should I be talking to you about?

I don’t know. How about the fact that… Acting Mayor Rawlings, Gage John Brady, your job.

Hmm. I’m so glad they lifted your suspension. But what are we, uh, doing in Rafe’s office? Actually, it’s not Rafe’s office anymore. It’s mine. What, what are you talking about? It’s official. I’m the new commissioner.

There you are. There I am. Just packing Rachel up so she can leave home for good. How soon before you have to go? About an hour. I’ve got to be at Kristen’s place where I’m supposed to drop her off. Sorry, kid. I still can’t believe that they gave that woman full custody. It’s a real nightmare. Not really, Dad, because in a nightmare, you usually wake up and things are back to normal, but because of that judge’s damn decision, nothing’s ever gonna be normal again.

Beautiful night, huh? That it is. And I have some wonderful news. Well, whatever it is, it can’t compete with my amazing news. Maybe it can. I asked Nicole to marry me. Nope. Can’t hold a candle to mine. You see, my precious daughter is coming home tonight to live with me for good.

You guys make these cards on your own? Yep. Yeah? Well, that is some very high level professional stuff. Hey. Oh, your, uh, your cousin Rachel’s gonna feel very welcome in her new home.

Oh, we made! Ooh! Let me see those. Wow! Stellar work, huh? There is no way you guys made these on your own. We did. Oh, my God. Well, I’m very impressed. They’re making them. They’re, um, gonna give them to Rachel. They’re having a sleepover. It’s her first night in the house. So Kristen got full custody, huh? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It all works in mysterious ways, doesn’t it?

Why don’t you, uh, why don’t you kids go grab your stuff? We’ll leave here in, like, ten minutes, okay?

Poor Brady. Yeah.

Hey, have you seen Alex today? No, why? Well, I just ran into him in the hallway and he was kind of standoffish. More than standoffish. Actually. He totally blew me off. Any idea why,

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

Yeah. I, I I don’t know why Alex would blow you off. Yeah. Maybe just had a bad day at work. Hmm. Maybe. But it was weird. It was like he. It really didn’t want to engage. It barely looked at me.

Uh oh. Change of plans. Something wrong? No, it’s good. Actually, um, I’ve been asked to come pitch a marketing plan for a new venture. It’s a little last minute, but it would be a really big account to land. Go! Well, I really wanted to be at the house with you and the kids. No, we’ll be fine. We’ll see, see you back here once they’re settled.

Okay. Yeah? Yeah. You’re very understanding, which is one of the many reasons that you are an excellent boyfriend.

So, what are you gonna? You, are you gonna pretend that you think it’s a good thing for us to go off on a choice. There’s no way in hell I’m gonna make an enemy out of my sister.

Yeah, I could just see you were bursting at the seams with excitement that I’m getting full custody of my darling daughter. What did you do, blackmail the judge? No, I didn’t have to lift a finger. No, I hardly believe that. It’s the truth. You see, when Brady pulled that gun on me… Ah, I thought I got a shot at shared custody, but I won the jackpot.

Well, uh, congratulations, I suppose. Wait, were you being sincere? I’m a parent. And I will be again soon. I know how painful it is to be separated from your child. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Actually, I would. I just wouldn’t wish it on my own sister. Aw, thank you, E. J. I know that means a lot to me.

Plus, plus, you’d be that sanctimonious bastard at his own game. And that delights me to no end. Yes.

You know what I love most about being Rachel’s dad right now? Is that she’s so grown up in a lot of ways, dad. She’s, she’s reading these books, we should talk. But at the same time, she will not go anywhere without her dolly. You know? Yeah, I remember a time when she left it behind in a hotel room in Florida.

Oh yeah, I remember. I raced back. From the airport, and I had to dive into that dumpster to find her, and uh, Rachel was crying, but there she was. There she was. She, uh, I found little Lulu. It’s what we dads do. You’re damn, you’re damn right. That’s what we dads do. I’m sorry, kid. the one.

I’m the one that knows what her best interests are. I’m the one that knows what to do when she wakes up in the middle of the night. I know what to do when she’s scared and when she’s alone. I’m the one that knows how to soothe her, you know? No one tells how much you love your daughter. Except that judge.

She made a terrible mistake. Yeah, well, you know what? I made a mistake, too. Because I went over there with a gun, and I stuck it in Kristen’s face. And I gave the court every reason that they needed to give Rachel to Kristen. I know that you’re blaming yourself right now, but still, it’s just not fair. Dad, you’re, you’re, yeah.

Yeah, it’s not fair. How can anyone in the world think that Kristen’s influence would be good for any kid? And now there’s nothing I can… Do about it. They’ve backed you into a corner, and I’m sure that you would do almost anything to fix it, right? That’s right. Like, maybe buy a car online with an out of state registry so you can whisk your daughter out of town under the cover of darkness?

That’s a solid plan, Dad. I wish I’d thought of that one. Like you did. In fact, you’re going to put that plan in motion within an hour’s time. Wait, hold on, hold on. You think because I… No, I know this because you made a mistake and used the Wi Fi in this house to buy that car. What? What the hell are you even know, I should have warned you beforehand.

Because of my work with Blackpatch, this joint is wired with sophisticated software most people don’t even know about. Spyware and it’s programmed to send me an alert when there’s unusual activity. I’m buying a car in Texas and shipping it to Salem is unusual activity. Dad, you’re spying on me. I’m unintentionally not.

Okay. Well, you’re wa you’re off on this one, dad. Okay. You’re right. I was looking at a car. I’ve been looking, I’ve been looking for that car for a long time. Found it online. I jumped. Yeah. Right. And you had it delivered to a remote garage on the outskirts of town here instead of, well, let’s see. Here, where you live.

Now you’re following me. Dad, come on. So you’re gonna get a head start taking Rachel out of here in a car nobody knows about. You’re probably gonna be several states away before anybody figures out what’s going on here. You know, initially, it’s a pretty smart plan, I’ll give you

that. Not smart enough to fool you, though,

huh? Unlucky.

Alright, Dad, now that you know, are you gonna try to stop me?

Okay, um, I admit I was surprised when I found out that Rawlings gave Sean my job, but no one wants to hear me complain about it. You’re allowed to vent. You’re allowed to be upset. Vent? What am I going to vent about? I broke the rules. And Sean didn’t? His situation was totally different than mine. Well, except he is the reason why Rawlings even knew about you and I in the first place.

Yeah, but he didn’t do it intentionally. But still, he’s gotta hurt that he’s the one that got your job. Huh. Okay. Are you trying to make me snap right now? No, no, no, no. Listen, I am just trying to help you be more honest about your feelings. Okay. Okay. Okay. Alright, fine. I admit it. Alright? It stinks. A lot.

And I hate it. But, they were, I mean it was gonna suck, no matter who they gave my job to, they were always gonna give it to somebody. Yeah, but, why Sean? Well, who else should they have given it to? I don’t know. How about me?

Oh, I don’t understand. You’re the new commissioner? How? I came back to work today because my suspension was up, and, uh, next thing you know, I’ve got the acting mayor wanting me to take over for Rafe. And you just said yes? No, no, of course not. No, I, I, no, I turned him down. I even said that I think that Rafe is still the right man for the job.

Then he made it very clear that that’s never gonna happen, and then I suggested that Jada be the commissioner. And what did Rawlings say to that? He said that Jada was implicated just like Rafe was. And then he said if I don’t take the job, that he wouldn’t let me come back as detective. So, it’s either this or nothing.

Wait, do you think I should have walked away?

There is my favorite niece and nephew. They can’t be your favorites, they’re my favorites. They can be both of your favorites.

Yes, you Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming just tonight. I mean, Rachel’s gonna be so happy to see the two of you. When is she getting here? Well, she’s gonna get here very, very soon. And guess what I did? I remodeled the bedroom. And, uh, it has bunk beds. Would you two like to see it? Yes. Yeah? Yeah. All right, go ahead.

Report back to me, though, okay? Okay. All right, I’m gonna give you two the grand tour.

So, Kirsten got full custody, huh? Yes, and she swears she didn’t even bribe the judge. Go figure. Go figure. You know, um, Took your advice. Oh, yeah. Talked to Alex. You confronted him. I did. Told him in no uncertain terms to back off. And? And it’s painful.

It is good to see you again, my man. You too. Is Brady joining us? No, no, not tonight. He’s got some personal things he has to take care of. But I’m going to fill him in on everything later. He’s still on board with that, right? Totally. Yeah. Man, he’s a… Excited as I am about your collab with Basic Black. It’s finally nearing the launch date.

Okay, we’re gonna make some money together. I like the sound of that. But there are some important things that we have to have in place first. Such as? Marketing. PR. I’ve already thought about that. Um… You know, I think it would be prudent to bring on an outside consultant. Yeah, definitely. I mean, I’ll start looking for some candidates as well.

Oh, no, no, no. You don’t need to do that, actually. I took care of that already. I actually got the best in the business. She’s, uh, on her way. She’s on her way here? Yeah. Oh. Here she is now. Ah. Ah.

This is the project he wanted to see me about. Well, I told you we’d work on several projects, assuming that this one works out alright. Basic black. Basic black. You know, the two of you have worked together with great success in the past, and that gives me confidence. Yeah, well, um… I’d like you to oversee Stephanie’s role.

She’s the best in the business. You two don’t mind working closely together, do you? Of course not. It’ll be great. No. I’m sorry, this can’t happen.

I was firm, I was assertive, and uh, you know, I told Alex what’s what. WWSD. Well, no, I wouldn’t say I acted like a father, but he heard me, and he agreed to back off. He’s kept up his end of the agreement? Been some. Apparently Stephanie ran into him in the hallway and, uh, basically blew her off. Barely spoke to her.

How did she feel about that? She was confused. She’s unaware that you delivered the warning. I mean, I really don’t like, you know, keeping things from her, but in this case, I think it’s best. You know, soon he’ll be out of our lives, and she’ll barely know he’s gone. Thanks to my stellar advice. You’re welcome, brother.

Wow, leave it up to a couple of moronic men to come up with the worst plan ever. What are you talking about? What am I talking about? I heard what you did, Chad. And it is going to backfire on you spectacularly. You know that, right?

You wanted my job? No, I’m not saying that I wanted your job. I’m just saying that, if Rawlings was going to give it to somebody, why couldn’t it have been me? Right. Yeah. I hear you. Listen, you’re a great cop, and I’m sure you’d make an even better commissioner. Thank you for saying that. It’s true. Now that I think of it, I don’t understand why Rawlings didn’t offer you the job.

Well, I have an idea. What? Being a woman of color in this male dominated industry… You know, yet again, I have to see a flawed white guy just march up and get the job that I’m qualified for. And, and I’m not saying that Sean is not a great detective, and I’m not saying that he doesn’t have seniority over me.

But, but what I’m saying is that… I mean, the guy just got busted for drinking on the job. Yeah. Well, not to mention the fact that you’ve been in the center of our major investigations over the last six months. Exactly. And, and, and Sean just comes in and, and, and comes into his first new day on the job and where does he get?

He gets a shiny new job in a shiny new office. Looks like I’m not the one who needed to vent. Okay, I’ll stop. I sound bitter. I sound petty. No. No. You’re neither of those things.

It’s just… Did I tell you? Did I tell you how this happened at my last job? What, that you got passed up for a promotion? You know, they’ve never had a person of color in the higher echelon. And you know, that record is still intact. That is wrong in so many damn ways.

I mean, you know, it’s not Sean’s fault. It’s not, you know, I don’t blame him. He did actually decline the job and he even recommended me. But still, I just, I can’t help but just feel a bit upset that he, he comes in and he’s at the right place, the right time, the right skin tone.

I send it. Rafe was a really popular commissioner. Everyone really loved him. Yeah, he was a great boss. But, you didn’t answer my question. Do you think I should have turned it down? I think that even if Rafe wasn’t a part of this, that I would have some reservations about you taking this on. Why? Because, Sean, you’re still in a really fragile place, you know?

You’ve really been struggling with everything since what happened with your dad. Yeah, of course I’ve been struggling. I almost killed my own father. Okay, but you’re making great progress with my mom. But even you would have to admit there’s still a ways to go. So you think the job is too much for me? I think that you can handle anything that the world throws at you.

And I also think that you’re the strongest person I’ve ever met. I don’t want you to think that I’m doubting you. Listen, I get it, Belle. You’re afraid that I’m going to relapse. You’re afraid that I’m going to start drinking again. Yeah, I am. Well, I mean, I am too. But, but come on, I mean, isn’t that a good thing?

That means that I’m, I’m never gonna let my guard down. Not even for a second. Look, I understand the responsibilities that come with this job. I’ve had three family members serve in this office honorably. And they’re all going to be very proud of you. I know I am. But you have your doubts. And that is understandable.

I mean, believe me, I’ve, I’ve got mine too. Yeah, but what if this challenge is what I need to, to, to finally heal and to, to start believing in myself again?

Listen, you do not need to prove yourself to me. I hope you know that. I believe in you more than anyone else. Does that mean that you’re on board? I think that if you want to do this, you are going to be the best Commissioner Brady there ever was.

Son, I have a feeling that if I were to try to stop you, I would wind up unconscious on the floor here, and you would still take off with your daughter. Well, then it seems you understand how determined I am to protect my little girl. And I understand that there is only one person who can stop you from doing this on that issue.

You think I’m making a big mistake? Let me tell you how this works. You know, in the eyes of the cops here, You’re going to be a kidnapper, so they’re going to throw out an Amber Alert and all that kind of stuff. But what I’m most worried about is Kristen. You think she’s going to let you take off with her daughter?

She has unlimited resources. That means you will never not be on the run. I understand that. Do you really? Do you? Do you understand it’s going to be you and Rachel constantly looking over your shoulder or you won’t be able to settle down anywhere? That’s got to be better than doing nothing, Dad. I got to do something.

I got to, I got to act. Okay, so you’re backed into a corner. Think about the corner you’re gonna back Rachel into. She’ll never be able to see her friends again. She’ll never be able to see her family again. Dad, don’t, don’t, don’t! There’s no life for a little girl! What, you think she’s gonna thank you for that?

I’m telling you, son, her day’s gonna come… when she’s gonna hate you for

that. Dad, listen to me. Believe me. I’ve, I’ve, I’ve, I’ve thought about all of this. I’ve gone through every scenario in my head. It’s not going to be easy to be on the run. It is going to be a challenge to make Rachel understand. But think about the alternative, okay? I don’t like her living in that house any more than you do.

It’s not the house, Dad. It’s the fact that Kristen’s going to be poisoning her head every day. And she’s going to turn her against me, you, Marlena, everyone else. She’s smart. She knows that we love her. But how long is that going to last with Kristen being able to turn her against us every second of every day?

Dad, she needs me. Running isn’t the only option here. What you do is you stay here and you fight. I could lose. I don’t want to lose. You keep fighting. You fight until you get that judgment overturned. Listen, the time’s going to come. You’re going to be able to prove that you’re the better person, that you’re the better parent.

Yeah, but in the meantime, Kristen is just going to be pulling Rachel closer, and she’s going to be driving her away from me. I know this is hard, but if you take off running here, you defy that court order, it is all over. You’re never gonna be safe. Not from the law, not from Kristen, because when they find you, you’re gonna lose your daughter forever.

And Kristen is gonna win.

I am sorry for interrupting this meeting of the minds. You eavesdropping? No, you guys were speaking right out in the open. Sounded like you were so proud of the scheme you two cooked up. Don’t hardly call this a scheme. Well, not a good one, certainly. I mean, I expect this from you, EJ. Chad, you’re smarter than this.

I can’t tell which one of us she’s insulting more. You.

You’re really taking EJ’s relationship advice now? Look who’s talking. Look, Kristen, usually I would agree with you. Hey. Wait, but in this situation, he was right. I had a problem in my relationship, we came up with a solution, and so far it seems to be working. So far. Yeah, so what happens when Alex tells Stephanie how you went behind her back to scare off the competition?

Okay, first of all, Alex is not competition, and um, he’s not gonna say anything. Oh, of course he will. Why wouldn’t he? We have a gentleman’s agreement. Oh my god, come on. Even you don’t believe that.

Alex? You don’t want to work with me? No, it’s not that I don’t want to work with you, Steph. What’s going on here? Why don’t you want to work with her? She’s the best in the biz. I’m not saying she isn’t, but… But what? Yeah, Alex, but what? She already does PR for Titan. So? So, Basic Black is a subsidiary of DiMera.

DiMera and Titan are bitter rivals. And, I mean, she’s working closely with my Aunt Maggie. Who knows, maybe she might… Wait, what? Pass on confidential information? Yeah, maybe. I don’t know, not intentionally, but… So you’re saying I’m not disloyal, just stupid? No, Steph, I’m… Hey, I’m not saying either of those things.

It’s just… It’s just what? Alex, you really think I’d sandbag you like that? No, of course not. You of all people know you can trust me. I’m a professional. I do know that. Why the hell are you resisting this? Honestly, man, I’d rather not say. I don’t care what you’d rather not do. I’m just trying to do what I’m supposed to do.

Oh, supposed to? I don’t understand. Why don’t you ask Chad, okay? Chad. What the hell does he have to do with this? Um,

maybe you don’t understand what it’s all about. I know what it means. I just think it’s idiotic. Well, we disagree. So you think you’re safe because the guy who has a thing for your girlfriend agreed to make you not look foolish in her eyes? You’re putting a very negative spin on this. No, I am calling it like I see it.

I’m telling you, Alex said he would keep it to himself. And men never go back on their word, especially when an attractive woman is involved. Okay, you know what? I don’t think you understand how disruptive Alex was in our relationship, alright? Stephanie and I, we worked very hard to get where we’re at. Yes, and I sympathize with that.

But, I mean… This, this horrendous idea of EJ’s will backfire on you. And when it does, Stephanie is going to see Alex in a whole new light. Because you made him the victim. So nice work, dummies. Father would be so proud of you.

Okay, I’m done, Vinty. Sure, cause I could listen for an hour or two more if you need to. No, I’m good. Okay. Well, just for the record, I agree with everything you said. I just, I can’t believe that tomorrow morning I have to report to my new boss, who’s a drunk, and put his dad in a coma. I mean, I just can’t believe it.

It just doesn’t matter. You know what? Venting over. Done. Yeah. Mm hmm. John’s right behind me, isn’t he?

Hey there, boss.

What I meant to say, Steph, was that Chad doesn’t want your work at Titan to be put in jeopardy. And how’s Maggie gonna feel when she finds out you’re working for the competitor? Nice try, but that’s not what you meant. We don’t have to have this conversation right now, Steph. But we are gonna have this conversation right now.

You two have a very interesting relationship. It’s not a relationship. We’re not friends? I’m just trying to do the right thing, Steph. What the hell does that even mean? What is really going on, Alex? Tell me the truth.

Truth? The truth is Chad thinks I want you back and he warned me to stay away from you. He warned you? He told me to back off, or else.

Is this why you wouldn’t speak to me in the hallway?

It is.

Like I said, I’m just trying to do the right thing by you and Chad. Me and Chad. Well, now that it’s all out in the open, should we start over? Yeah, yeah, that sounds like a great idea. Hold on a minute. You don’t get out of this that easily. I need to just chat. Steph, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You weren’t supposed to hear all that.

We had a gentleman’s agreement.

I don’t know what I was thinking. You’re not seriously listening to Kristen, are you? She’s just trying to cause trouble. Yeah, but she’s right, isn’t she? I made the whole thing worse. Yeah, you sure did. I mean, I didn’t trust Alex to be around Stephanie. I’m gonna, I’m gonna trust him to keep our arrangement quiet.

Well, that does sound like some shoddy reasoning. If she finds out I did this behind her back. When she finds out you did this behind her back. Tell the kids I’ll call them before bed. You’re leaving? Yeah, I have to go deal with this before my old wife explodes. Well, good luck. I’m glad I could help. This was all under control until you stuck your nose in.

Oh, that Oh, I’m sorry, did you say something? I mean, I see your gums flapping, but I can’t hear trying to sabotage this family? Ha ha, you know what, EJ? You can’t ruin my evening. Because Brady will be here with Rachel any minute, and that is all that matters to me. Nothing

else is My mind’s made up.

Didn’t you tell me that you regretted pulling the gun on Kristen? That you wished you could take that back? That was different, Dad. Not different? You explain to me right now, how is that different? You know, your impulsiveness cost you the first time. This time, it’s gonna cost you everything. It’s gonna cost you your daughter.

It’s gonna cost you your freedom. And what if she never forgives you for dragging her out of here? It’s a risk that I have to take. I gotta leave within the hour. I’m gonna miss my head start. I don’t want Kristen tracking me down before I hit the state line, alright? Dammit, Brady, you gotta think about this.

Your whole life, her whole life, depends upon this decision.

I love you.

Sean, what you heard, I was just venting. I know you are not a drunk and I know what happened with your dad was an accident. Well, it’s been a frustrating day. For everyone. Please, I feel awful. I am so sorry.

Look, I know, I know that you’re embarrassed. But I just walked in on that, but the truth is, I’m the one that should be embarrassed. Sorry. Oh, Rafe, I, look, after what I did to you, just to have the mayor turn around and hand me your job. You didn’t ask him for it. Still. I’m sorry. I think you don’t deserve this.

Look, I don’t… I don’t know what else to say.

Well, just do a good job. That’s all that matters in the end.

You know, I’ve had more business deals implode over the years than I can count, but it’s always about money. Uh, I’ve never seen this before. Yuri, please, not right now. Are you really that upset about how this went? Yes, yes, I am that upset. Did you not see how angry Steph was when she just blew out of here?

Angry about Chad DeMura? Yeah, and me. But mostly Chad DeMura. Are you really that crazy about this girl?

I am. You know, not that I really care so much about this domestic soap opera love triangle, what will you? The way I see it, your chances of stealing this girl back are about… 60 40. Maybe a little bit more. Congratulations.

A gentleman’s agreement.

You’re back earlier than I thought. Want a glass? Um, no thanks. I was, uh, I was hoping you’d be back by, uh, back from your meeting by now.

Um, is everything okay? Yeah. Um, I just sent the kids out. I think, uh, I think it’d be a good time for us to probably talk. What a coincidence. I was thinking the same thing.

What? You wanna talk? Sit the hell down. I’m going first.

Oh, come on, kid. Come to your senses before it’s too late.

Didn’t you say Brady would be here any minute? Mm hmm. He’s late. He must have hit traffic getting across town. Maybe. Maybe

he decided he can’t live with the judge’s decision. Brady wouldn’t just take Rachel and run. Would he?

It’s something I would do. If he’s on the run, he’s not going to answer his phone. Okay, I’m not calling Brady. I’m calling… Hello? Val, it’s Kristen. What do you want, Kristen? I need you to get on the phone to the judge. I need you to call every police jurisdiction between here and in the state line before it is too late.

Slow down. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I am talking about my daughter. What about Rachel? Your client has decided to go on the run with my daughter, and I will not stand for it! Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God,

my sweet little baby. Oh. Oh. Oh.
