THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

, Guinevere, tell me you’ve come to your census. If you mean, am I going to be Trey Zer by cooperating with the Salem pd, my answer is still no. I will not help send him to prison. Better him than us. Look, I know how much you care about that big, sexy Scottish lug, but you know my motto. Always look out for number one.

You sure as hell abide by that? Don’t you

sound asleep. Finally. Poor little guy. He’s so rounded. I think that’s because he senses that you are and it affects him.

Ali, I’m sorry for everything you’re going through. I keep looking at pictures of them. Grandma Kate holding Henry when he was a little baby and I have this selfie of me and Kayla and she’s just smiling her beautiful smile, . I just can’t believe that they’re gone, you know? And now I have to worry about my grandma, Marlena.

I can’t lose her. I can’t lose her too. I just can’t found me. I wish I could take the pain away.

I’m sorry. Just having you by my side. I’m so grateful always, but especially now, I’m so grateful.

Chad, Stephanie shouldn’t blame herself for not being there when Kayla died. It wasn’t her fault. I tried telling her that, but she won’t stop beating herself up for turning off her phone about that. Um, she didn’t. What do you mean she didn’t, Stephanie wasn’t the one who turned off her phone.

Tell me the truth. Are you the reason I didn’t get to say goodbye to my mother,

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

Uh, yes. Thank you so much for the time and consideration and I look forward to speaking with you soon. Bye-bye.

Matt, you are getting weird by the minute, Wilhelmina, you’re back. I thought you had returned to the land of direct to streaming movie making and I thought Sunny would’ve seen through your Reform Griffin Act. No. Guests we’re both wrong. I hope you’re not upset with Sonny for letting me crash here a little while longer upset.

I mean, just because I can’t stand the side of you. And I think Sonny’s being incredibly naive to give you the benefit of the doubt, much less a place to stay. Or maybe he’s just a big hearted, generous and forgiving person who is helping a friend in need. You don’t have to explain my husband’s motivations to me.

I know he is a good guy. Unfortunately, that also makes him an easy target for people like you. You know, um, guys who always look out for number one. Oh, that I was finishing up a job interview when you walked in. The employee’s HR rep is. Recruiting for a position on a rather aggressive sales team, and I wanted to be sure I had the killer instinct, a job interview.

You really expect me to believe that that’s what it was. Hmm. Well, I don’t have time for this. I just came by to drop off my luggage. If you see Sunny, please tell ’em I’m at the hospital visiting my grandmother. Oh. I’ll be sure to give him the message verbatim.

I think you would be nice. You rude little queen.

You can’t give up hope. Now your grandmother is strong and brave and she’s battled Satan twice and lived to tell the toe Grandma, Caton and Kayla, they were strong and brave too, and now they’re gone. I have to go to the hospital. Okay. I need to see my grandma Marlena. Okay, then go. Well, I, I have to stay here and watch Little Henry, but I wish I could go with you.

Thank you. I love you.

Call me if there’s any change. I will.

Did you forget your key? Hello? But you forgot to ask. He was at the door.

I don’t get it. How can you be so sure that Stephanie didn’t turn off her own phone? Just trust me on this all sunny. You’re supposed to be best friends. What are you not telling me?

Okay, fine. I’m, I’m sure Stephanie didn’t turn off her phone.

My brother did.

Chad called me multiple times. He left messages about my mom being gravely ill that I didn’t get, and I don’t remember turning my phone off. So the only possible explanation is that you did. So I’ll ask you. Alex, the night my mother died. Did you turn off my phone?

Yes, Steph, I did.

Oh, will. Oh my God. Will. Hi. I’m so happy that you’re here. When did you get in? Um, playing planning about an hour ago. Have you talked to mom? Yeah. Um, she says she’s doing everything she possibly can to get here. Okay, good. Any update on Grandma Marlene’s condition? Um, The doctors are doing everything they can, but it’s not looking great.

Um, well I want to see her. Yeah, me too. But, um, grandpa John and Uncle Eric are in there right now and then, and, um, they’re restricting our visitors, so we’re gonna have to wait out here. Just wait out here and pray. Yeah.

I’m really glad that you’re here. Now we can wait and pray together.

I am sorry. I had to hang up so abruptly before Will Forton showed up for a surprise visit to drop off his luggage and treat me like dirt. He didn’t overhear your conversation, did he? Well part of it, Matt, no girl, relax. He only overheard the part where I told you that my motto is to look out for numero uno.

But I convinced him the call was a job interview. Covered my tracks. Very cleverly as always. As always as some of the time, yes. Well, I should bloody well, hope so. Oh, I know. So no way that nosy aging twink will find out I had anything to do with Xander’s coverup. Yes. Because if he did, I know, I know. He would go running to Sunny so fast, I would lose the only true friend I’ve ever.

Did you actually just say that aside from you, my darling, gw, aside from you,

I don’t get it. Why would Alex turn off Stephanie’s phone? I guess he didn’t want to be interrupted. I see. So your brother admitted to you that he turned off Stephanie’s phone without her knowledge because he didn’t want someone to interrupt their alone time. Not, not someone.

I think you better explain yourself and fast. It happened when he went to the bathroom to change. The phone started ringing. I looked the screen and it was Chad calling again. And so instead of telling me that he called you, decided to turn off my phone. Steph, I didn’t know why he was calling. Why does it matter, Alex?

It was none of your damn business. I know that and that’s why I’m so sorry. Yeah. Well, sorry. Doesn’t cut it. How dare you police my phone calls Steph. I only did it because. We had been wanting to be alone for a long time and we had a beautiful, fun night, and then Chad starts calling and I figured that it was probably about work again, or the kids and the, the guy just interrupted us at Christmas time and I figured, you know what?

No matter what this call is right now, I assumed incorrectly that it would be okay for it to wait this time. That wasn’t your decision to make. But because you had the audacity, the gall, to make it. Anyway, I didn’t find out my mom was dying until it was too late to say goodbye to her. You robbed me of that, and I will never forgive you for it.

Oh hell. Look, this is a bad time. Okay. I’m dealing with a family crisis right now. You mean like the crisis that you put my family in when you seduced my father and killed my mother? Okay. I realize that it is pointless for me to keep trying to explain this to you, but your mother’s death was an accident.

I feel horrible for what happened to her and to your father and to you for that matter. Yeah. You’re. It is pointless to, uh, keep telling me that, look, Sloan, the courts in the UK declined to pursue extradition or press charges. So don’t you think it’s time that we both get on with our lives? It really is that easy for you, isn’t it?

You can just destroy my family’s life and go right back into baking those overpriced pastries and making out with your little girlfriend. Well, that’s over. So I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted. See, I made a promise to make you pay for what you did to my family, and I’m gonna do exactly that.

So, how was the flight? Um, I mean, terrible. I, I couldn’t sleep or eat cause I was worried I wouldn’t get here. Yeah, well you did. Thank God Grandma Melina’s hanging on. But where’s Sunny? I don’t know. Actually he wasn’t in the house. Um, but. Unfortunately, his house guest from Hell was there to grieve me. Why don’t we get back to what we were discussing before, will Debe so rudely interrupted us?

Ah Mattie, if you have come over here yet again to try to convince me to Rat Alexander, you have wasted a trip. But QUni, the cops already know you helped him by coming up with that fake company he claimed to be working for. Yes, but they don’t have a shred of proof linking me to any crimes. Not yet. But they will not stop digging until they find something that leads them right to.

Oh, I see what this is. Okay. You are not worried about me going down for helping Zander. You are just trying to save your own hide. Sweetie. I don’t want either of our gorgeous hides being skinned alive for the likes of Zander Cook. He kidnapped those two women, not us. We don’t know that the police can prove any of it, do we?

Um, hello? They already know that his accomplice was wearing a muscled up bodysuit one that fits me perfectly. Once they figure that out, my goose is cooked. No, I’m sorry, Massie. I just, I can’t tie my back on Zand. So then you are prepared for your father to turn his back on you. That won’t happen. I contrary, GU, when Jack finds out that you help Xander, he will disown you maybe permanently.

This time

you have worked so hard to regain his trust. You’re living in his wife’s house, you’re working for their newspaper. All of that goes away. If Jack and Jennifer find out that you weren’t accomplice to that Scottish scoundrel with the bo that won’t quit, who lacks an ounce of moral fiber, unlike you, you mean?

Um, my body is pretty Okay. Thank you very much. I’m talking about moral fiber. Okay, fine. I will not throw stones at poor Xander unless you think me a hypocrite. But I urge you, will you at least agree to, to, to meeting with a lawyer so we can figure out what our options. Fine. Do you have anyone specific in mind?

As a matter of fact, I do. Wait, wait. No. So stop. Please stop. Please relax. What did you think? I had a weapon. I’m not the one here with homicidal tendencies. Normally I’d have a process server deliver this, but I just couldn’t help. I wanted the satisfaction of seeing the look on your face.

You’re suing me for wrongful death. And naming Paulina Price, aka your mom as the co-defendant for her role in helping you cover up the crime of my mother’s murder. Your mother’s death was an accident. Do you know how tired I am appearing? You say that, just, just lie. You keep repeating over and over again making it sound like you are the victim here.

I may not see my day in criminal court, but I can still make you bitches pay and when I, when I’m done with this civil court. How you can bet your money that the only thing left of Paulina price’s fortune will be the crumbs from that pathetic little bakery of yours.

So Alex turned off Stephanie’s phone because he was afraid I was going to interrupt their romantic evening together. Yes. And it was not a cool thing of him to do. And, and in fact it was. selfish thing to do, but he had no idea. You were calling about Kayla. Yeah. But so your brother can’t handle my friendship with Stephanie, so she doesn’t get to see her mom before she died.

Yeah. And he feels terrible about, he should feel terrible about it. She’s been torturing herself because she didn’t get to say goodbye to her mother before she died if she’s in agony, because she could have been there and she wasn’t. Chad, like I said, because your brother was afraid I was gonna interrupt his.

Conquest. He didn’t know what you were calling about. I don’t care. It wasn’t his place to turn off her phone and now I have to be the one to break her heart. Chad, you don’t have to do that. Why? Gimme one reason not to, because Alex is already telling Stephanie himself. Steph, instead of I had any idea why Chad was calling.

It doesn’t matter why he was calling. You had no right to turn off my phone. I know that. I know that, and I, I just, I just, I wanted to be alone with you. Yeah. Well, you got your wish. So instead of being with my mother while she was dying, instead of being able to tell her that I loved her. You and I were having sex.

Do you have any idea how disgusted that makes me feel?

Yeah, I do and I get why it would, and that is why I would do anything to go back in time and change what I did, Steph, but you can’t.

And now my mother is gone.

And so are any feelings that I had for you. I never wanna see you again.

Leo Stark living under the same roof as your husband, , he owns. God, that must be driving you crazy. Yeah. You have no idea. He’s like a, he’s, he’s a parasite that leeched onto Sunny’s goodwill. Mm-hmm. , you actually convinced him that he’s a, he’s a changed person. I take it. You don’t believe that? No, not for a second.

People like Leo don’t change. They just become more adept at being devious and figuring out ways to prey on their victims. Unfortunately, I think you’re right and I’m surprised Sonny of all people wants anything to do with him after what he put the both of you. Me too, but a, a again, it, that’s in his nature.

You know, he prides himself on being forgiving and, and giving people second chances. Mm-hmm. , well, I guess you have to admire him for that, right? That he sees the good in everyone. Uh, I mean, I, I would normally, um, if the person in question was worthy of forgiveness of second chances, but I mean, at this point it’s just gullible.

There is no good in. He does not deserve Sonny’s forgiveness, and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve his friendship.

Let me guess, you had to convince your brother to, uh, to come clean. I may have. Strongly suggested it. Sure. But, but then he, he agreed. Wow. Very big of him. He’s not a bad guy, Chad. He messed up and he wants to make amends. You know, the, uh, you know the expression, timing is everything. Your brother should have grown a conscience before he took it upon himself to shut off her phone without her knowledge, because of his own selfish reasons before he robbed Stephanie of being able to say goodbye to her dying mother.

Why are you still here? I said, I never wanted to see you again.

Steph. Come on. You don’t, you don’t mean that. Don’t tell me what I mean. See, this has been the problem with you from day one. You only hear what you want to, Alex. It’s not true. Steph, what you talking about? I, I’m coming here admitting to you that I made a mistake. No, no, no. You don’t get to trivialize this to make it sound like it was some innocent mistake.

You purposely turned off my phone because you’re envious of my friendship with Chad. Your pathetic insecurities are the reason why I couldn’t be with my mother when she needed me the most,

and you know, the worst part, if I hadn’t figured it. You are never even going to tell me. Who are you?

There she is. Salem’s Top Legal Eagle, Sloan, Peterson, Esquire. Save it Stark. I had a good mind to not show up here when you called, considering you don’t like to pay your legal bills in a timely manner. Oh, please. You got your money and then some and then. Really? Do you not recall that? When I opened that safe in Paulina Price’s office, you stole that file with dirt on my ex-boss and her daughter.

Correction. I stole it back, which you wouldn’t have had an opportunity to do if it weren’t for me, so you’re welcome. Well, since the file was mine in the first place, the only thing I’m gonna thank you for as being careless enough to not catch me in the. and speaking of damaging information on the disgraced almost governor and her homicidal child, I still don’t understand why Ms.

Recheck here wouldn’t publish it in her daddy’s dying newspaper. I had my reasons. Oh, don’t you know, you missed out in the scoop of the decade. Oh. As I’ve been led to believe any charges here and abroad against Paul enter price and Chanel du Priya not being pursued. So that means that your scoop of a decade is just a nothing burger wrong, just because they managed skirt justice doesn’t make their innocent.

Anyway, I’m growing bored of this conversation. Why am I here? Star, we need legal advice, but before we talk, we need to make sure that this is going to remain strictly confidential. Another crime, Ms. Risk check wants to sweep under the rug. Why am I not surprised? Do we have attorney client privilege or not?

That kind of confidentiality is gonna require a, uh, retainer right now. No deferments. What are you waiting for? Gwenny? The woman,

mama. Oh, thank God you’re here. Well, I rush right over as soon as I got your message. Chanel baby. What? What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Is it Marlena? No. No. Dr. Evans is still hanging on. Oh, well that’s good. That’s good news. I’m, I’ve been praying for her. And so has your aunt Tammy. Well, if it isn’t about Allie’s, grandmother, then what’s the matter?

Sloane Peterson was just here. Sloane Peterson. What the hell is she want? Oh, did she hurt you? Cuz if he did, I swear. God, no, no, no. She didn’t hurt me. At least not yet. What? What are you talking about? This, the woman is still very much hell bent on hurting us both.

Okay. Lemme see if I have this straight Xandra cook, kidnapped Egypt, Dara’s mother, and you helped cover it up and then she roped you in. The police already know you were involved and now you’re worried it’s only a matter of time before you are implicated as well. That’s the gist of it. So what are our options?

Options? So aiding and abetting, kidnapping. Falsifying evidence. Yeah. You think you have options? , well, sorry, kids. I mean you guys are pretty much.

Julie. Oh, Halle. Oh, well, my darlings. Hey, please tell me what, what’s Marla’s condition now? She is still in the icu, but from what we hear, it’s it not looking great. Oh, no. Oh, I’m so sorry.

Um, and Kate and Kayla too. I’m so sorry. That’s okay. Um, so what is, uh, what’s all this? I went to Julie’s place and had some sandwiches made up. The, those of of prayer visioning going on. Eric is leading it in the chapel. It’s, it’s for family and friends and, and Doug is actually already there. Oh no. God, what is it?

I forgot my rosary.

I’m not proud of what my brother did. Then why do you keep making excuses for him? I’m not making excuses. It sounds like you are. I know my. . All right. He might be arrogant and a little full of himself, but he’s got a really good heart. Mm-hmm. He knows that he messed up and he, he’s gonna do whatever it takes to, to what?

To, to what? Son. Make it up to Stephanie. How do you make up to someone that you kept from saying their final goodbye to someone they loved, not just someone they loved their mother. You can make that up, son. You’re right. And even if Alex was stupid enough to try, I doubt he will ever get the chance.

I know you have no reason to trust me right now, but I came here. To tell you the truth myself, quite frankly, because I am riddled with guilt and I have never regretted anything more in my life. Steph, so what you want me to feel? Sorry for you. I’m just doing my best to be honest. I came here today on my own accord to not only tell you the truth, but to tell you that I am sorry for what I did and I’m sorry about your mom.

And if you don’t believe me, you can ask my brother. I don’t need to ask Sonny anything. I know all I’ll ever need to know about the kind of man you are.

Steph, I am begging you. I am begging you. Look, look, look at me. Look at me. I know you were upset with me. And I know you are hurt. You are grieving, but please do not throw away what we had. What? I didn’t Throw it away. Alex, you did. When you invaded my privacy, when you disrespected and lied to me, and like I said, I am gonna be regretting that until the day I die.

I just, I wanted us to have a, a romantic, beautiful evening alone together. And instead I made this this stupid thoughtless mistake in which I have learned from, and I swear to God’s you, I swear to God’s you. I will never, I will never do anything like that again in what that’s supposed to make me feel better.

What the hell do I care that you learned from it? I will never have another chance to say goodbye to my mother. Do you not get that? I get that, Steph. I get that. But I know that we can get past this if you allow it. If you allow me to do this for you, if you allow me to make this up to you, please. There is nothing you can.

Every time I look at you, all I see is my mother lying in that hospital room. Cold,

dead.

You know what your problem is, son? No, but I’m guessing you’re about to tell me. Yeah, I am because I’m your best friend and if your best friend can’t give it to you straight, then who? All right. Done in life, man. The problem is you spend too much time seeing the best in people. This again, is that a bad trait?

You know what? Call me naive, but I, I happen to think that’s a great attribute. In fact, my mother, God rest her soul always encouraged me and my brothers to do just that. Yeah. But there has to be exceptions. Some people are irredeemable. No, but I, I happen to disagree. I mean, do do you really think it’s more honorable to believe that deep down everyone is devious and, and and cruel and that even if they say they’re gonna change, you shouldn’t believe them?

I mean, is that really the kind of cynicism that you subscribe to? No, I don’t, I don’t think it is more honorable to mistrust everyone. I think it is sure as hell more self-protective. Take Leo for example. Leo is gonna cause you problems. Maybe not now, but in the near distant future, he is gonna let you down because that is who he is and that is what he does.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. There has to be something you can do. I mean, this is small potatoes compared to getting me off on a murder rep. A murder that you didn’t commit. This is very d. The two of you actually did help cook in committing these crimes, and if anyone can get us off, it’s you. Look, I know we’ve only worked together once before, but I have to say you are quite the impressive lady litigator better than Annalise’s Keating and Ally McNeil combined.

Okay? Those are TV lawyers based on real people. I think maybe one day they’ll name a TV show after you better call Sloan. It’s got a nice ring to it, right? Qu, okay. Look, as much as I appreciate the flattery, it’s a pipe dream as much as getting the two of you out of this very dicey situation, UNS. Look, my best advice would be, let me see if I can cut a deal or you will testify against Cook before a grand jury.

See, I told you we should turn on him. Mattie will have you over this. She doesn’t wanna hang Xander out to dry. She’s in love with him. Fancies herself, a Bonita who’s Clyde. Have you seen the way that story ends? Oh heaven’s sake. I do not fancy myself as anything but Zander’s friend. And for the last time, it doesn’t matter what either of you do or say, I am not selling Xander out.

So if, if, if there’s nothing more, I’m going, you can show yourselves out.

What’s that? They say you can lead a criminal conspirator to a potential plea deal, but you can’t make them take the deal. That’s it. I’m out too.

I have a proposition for you.

I was just rushing. So to get here for the prayer vi, I, I forgot to pack the rosary. Where did you leave it? Oh, it’s on, it’s on the top of my dresser in my bedroom. Wow. I’ll go get in. Oh, no darling. I can’t ask that of you. You need to be here for your grandma. No, I was actually just telling Will that they’re restricting Grandma Marlene’s visitors right now.

Wh which means I, I can’t even see her right now anyway, so I, I’ll, I’ll go to your house and grab the rosary. You really don’t mind. Not at all. Not at all. I’ll, I’ll. Soon. Cute. Thank you darling.

Oh, Allie, I know how much you love your grandmother, Marlena. I know how hard this is for you. It’s your strong lady, just like Marlena, just like your mother for that matter. You’ll get through this, sweetheart. Yeah, I have to. I need to be strong for my son. Henry needs me to be. Yes. He needs you. And when our children need us, all the people we love, he need us.

That’s what we’re put on earth for darling. And that’s what keeps us strong. Yeah, it is. And thank God for it. Yes, you. Oh, yes.

I’ll really hit the spot. Good. Let me guess. Is that the first time you’ve eaten today? I had a banana for breakfast. Well, half a banana. I split it with Henry and um, a bite of cookie from the venue machine. Ah-huh Alice, Caroline, I know you’re worried about your grand. But you’ve got to take care of yourself.

You sound like Chanel right now. This whole week she’s been trying to get me to eat more and sleep more. How are things going with you too? Chanel’s been amazing through all of this. I mean, she’s really been my rock, even though she’s been also dealing with her own family drama. I thought things were better for Paulina and Chanel after those awful murder charges were dropped.

Well, they have been. I am just worried that Sloan Peterson is going to continue to cause trouble. That woman is bound and determined to get revenge,

so she’s suing us in civil court. Two. Huh? Little, little heifer. She doesn’t know when to quit. This is bad mom. She isn’t going to stop until we have nothing left. Oh, no, no. Calm down. Calm down. Now it’s not the end of the world. I thought you’d be more upset. Yeah, I am. I am. I’m furious. But I step there. She come over here and try to threaten my daughter.

No, I meant about the lawsuit. Oh, well honey, you know. Well, wouldn’t you have as much money as I do? Frivolous lawsuits, they come with the territory, but my attorneys, they will make myths. Meet the Sloan Peterson. It’s just you. Wait, you have another proposition? I’m listening. What if we. Leave Gwen out of the plea deal.

I could testify against Sandra alone. I’ll say he was the one who hired me to wear the padded clown suit. Knock Gwen. But that’s a boldfaced lie. You have a problem with that? Not necessarily. Good. The only thing is I need to testify anonymously. Oh, you don’t want your little bestie finding out that you drop the dime on Cook.

I’m pretty sure she’ll find out. I’m not worried about Gwen. I am constantly saving her from herself. It’s this thing we do. And sure she’ll be pissed at first, but at least we’ll both be free. Okay. So if you’re not worried about Glen finding out, then what’s the point of having an anonymous testimony because of Sonny, Alex’s brother, or what does he have to do with this?

He’s my friend. He believed in me when nobody else would. Sonny thinks I’ve changed. I can’t have him knowing I was involved in something like this.

Okay, so, so is, is that how you see me? I’m just a pathetic tool. Stumbling around with a, with a, a take advantage of me. Shout out, you know, that’s not what I meant. I just meant you, you know, you, you, you’re too trusting, son. Well, look, I choose to give people like Leo and Alex, the benefit of the doubt, because we could all use a little redemption from time to time.

You know, even me, even you. Just about everyone on this planet. Sure. Yeah. Redemption once in a while is something that we all need, but in this case, what Alex did, he deprived your cousin of Alaska by to her mother. I doubt Stephanie’s gonna be as forgiving as you are.

I am sorry for robbing. Of your last moments with your mom,

but I will spend the rest of my life trying to make up for it. If you let me, you can spend two lifetimes, three lifetimes. Hell, you can spend eternity trying to make it up to me. Nothing you ever say or do will give me back what you took from me, Steph. No, I’m done. I want you to leave Steph. The least you can do is respect my wishes.

Go, Stephanie, please. Just no, Alex now.

Sarah Honey. Hi Bonnie. Hi Justin. We were just about to grab dinner. Um, we’d love for you to join us unless you have other plants. No, I, I don’t, um, I’d actually love to join you. Just, I’m afraid I won’t be much company. I’m kind of wiped out. Oh yeah. I’m sure you’ve been working all out lately. Yeah. Just kinda nonstop trying to find that cure from Elena.

Any luck? No, unfortunately. And without that orchid we can’t do much. But we are gonna keep trying though. Well, we’re all praying for her. Yeah. It’s all my, actually Justin, um, I’m really glad I ran into you. There’s, um, something I would like to discuss. What’s that?

I wanna divorce and I was wondering if you could help me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

know what, this, this menu’s getting a little dull. So, you know, maybe we could use something to, uh, spice it up. You know, maybe, uh, fucking chicken wrap gumbo. You know, you always had such a good sense about what the customer would like. So what do you think

Lucas Rex?

It’s good to see you.

Hold on just a second.

Jen. Hi. I’m sorry for showing up without calling. I just wanted to see how you were doing. I’m, uh, doing, um,

honestly, I don’t, I don’t really know how to answer that,

of course.

Now losing someone you love so suddenly you understand all too well. I know that.

Is there anything I can do to help? No, but I appreciate you asking. My dad is, um, taking care of most of the arrange.

Well, I just wanted to stop by and see if he needed anything.

Hey, . Hey, um, how’s, how’s Dad doing? He’s pretty broken up about Kayla, but Bonnie’s been really great with him, I have to say. Yeah, I’m sure. I, I just, I can’t believe this, this wonderful woman is gone just because, you know, some evil bastard wanted to get a little even or something. I’m sorry man. I just feel so bad for our kids.

Stephanie trip, Joey. I mean, I, I, I know what it’s like to lose a mother. Oh my God, my uncle Steve. I just, I, I can’t even imagine what he’s going through.

Oh, sweetness.

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

No touching. Come on. Cut us a break. Our mom just died. You were on thin nights after what happened? Withs yesterday. Don’t make me tell you again.

What’s she talking about? Nothing doesn’t sound.

After you told me about what happened to mom, I was upset. I was really upset about what Orpheus did, so I attacked him. Don’t worry, he’s, he’s okay. He’s fine.

But after Orpheus found out what happened to mom, he, uh, He decided to express his sympathy about the whole thing. And, uh, he gave me this, you know, you know, he’s the pain,

so we able to get a flight back. Yeah, he, uh, he nabbed the first seat on standby. Good. So then he’ll be here soon. Let’s hope. I mean, you’re, him is saying goodbye to his grandma Kate. We’re all hoping that Grandma Marlene is gonna pull through, but God forbid he doesn’t. I’m just hoping he gets back in time to say goodbye to her.

Well, I get that. Hey, um, did Stephanie. I mean, was she able to be there with her mother? Did she at least get to say goodbye? No, she didn’t.

This was so sweet of the kids

last night, I told them that their great-aunt Kayla went to Heaven and explained to them that she was your mom. And they wanted to make that for you.

After my mom died, my dad read me some of the Lenic books and it made me feel less sad. If you want, you and I can read them together sometime. They’re really funny. Especially the bad mood and the stick. Love Thomas. What a sweetheart. Charlotte wanted to write something so I had to help her a little bit.

I’m sorry, your mommy died. Mine died too.

I miss my mommy.

My love,

this still doesn’t seem real.

You were so tough. You fought that virus with everything you had. I really thought you were gonna, you were gonna beat it. I really did.

When I woke up this morning, I turned toward you like I always do.

I expected to see you there lying next to me.

I mean, even now, I still expect you to walk through the.

Why the hell would or excuse that to you? He’s trying to get me to fall off the wagon. But I didn’t touch it. I didn’t even open it. I didn’t take a trial. Okay, so then why not just get rid of it? Because it sucks in here. That’s why. And I am tempting. You have no idea what it’s like. I, I’m sure it sucks, and I can only imagine how much you wanted, all the pain.

But Lucas, this, this is, I know, I know. I won’t, I won’t let Lord swear. I promise you. I’ll try my best. I will try to stay strong. Okay. You know what? If not for you, do it for mom. You need the bottle. Lucas, this is the last thing that you’ve won. Hey, you two. Oh, Roman. Oh. Such a terrible, terrible tragedy. Oh, honey, our hearts go out to you.

Hey buddy. Right? I’m sorry. Oh, I’m so sorry. How can we help? I’m sure there are 1,000,001 things that need to be taken care of. Wait. Whatever you need. Well, uh, you know, I appreciate the offer, but, uh, Steve’s he’s taken care of. Kayla’s arrangements and Kate’s well, there’s not a whole lot to help with there either.

Uh, Kate didn’t want a funeral. Oh, then what did she want? This

Jayla. I’m sorry, I should have not. No, it’s not necessary. Come on in.

I hope I’m not bothering you. Steph told me that you were here at the. Yeah, I had to come here and sign some papers so they could release Kayla’s body to the funeral home, and I just wandered in here. I have, I had a feeling that this is where I find you,

all the things are here, just the way she.

Silly, silly, colorful reading glasses she always wore.

Got her water bottle here.

Oh,

Stephanie made this for her mom, her second grade, I think.

Kayla told me that she liked having pieces of us here

cuz it reminded her that her patients had families too. People who loved them just as much as she loved us.

She, she always did everything she could to send them home to their families

so they wouldn’t have to go through.

I’m so sorry. Sorry, what do you mean? Sorry? Why? Well, it’s just after everything that you’ve been through, I don’t, you don’t need to see me falling apart like this. No. Listen to me. What I, what I need to do. Is be here for you, helping you comforting you a little. If I can,

it’ll help my heart. I’m doing this for purely selfish reasons. You’re being very kind.

And your mom. She was a wonderful woman.

Anytime I was around her, she, she lifted my spirit.

Abby loved her. I loved her.

Everybody loved your mom. She loved Abigail too, and

it’s just the hardest thing about it right now is that I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. Joey and Tripp, they got to talk to her on the phone and they’re all the way in Seattle. I’m right here in town and not even five minutes from the hospital. I’m sorry,

you finally had gone to the hospital just a little bit sooner. I could have held her in my arms one last time, and I could have told her how much I loved her and I, what a great mom she was. Look at me.

She knew.

I can’t believe I missed your messages. I, I can’t believe I missed your calls.

Stephanie came over here last night with me and we slept together for the first time. Then Chad showed up. He told her that her mother was dying. That’s my fault that she didn’t get there in time. Alex, come on. It’s not your fu there, there’s um, a million reasons why Chad wouldn’t have been able to reach her.

She, uh, Stephanie could have been doing anything. She could have been at dinner, at a movie. She could have been asleep. You, you can’t blame yourself just cuz you were, you know, making them off. Oh, Sonny, that’s not, that’s not why I blame myself. And then why else? I blame myself because Chad was trying to. I turned her phone off.

I’m so sorry you didn’t get my calls when you didn’t answer your phone. I, I did everything I could to find you. I, I had remembered that you and Alex were going to the bistro, so I went to the Bist. It was closed and then I just, I took a gamble and um, went to his house, which is where I was obviously.

And what’s driving me crazy is that you were kind enough to try to call me multiple times, and I never even heard the damn phone ring.

Must have just turned it.

I must have. It’s the only possible explanation. It’s just I don’t remember doing it. You turned her phone off, son. It’s not like I knew Chad was calling to tell her that her mother was dying. Okay. Fun. Why would you turn her phone off in the first place? Because I didn’t, I didn’t want him to be interrupting us.

A again, what do you mean again? It happened on Christmas two, sunny Stephanie and I, we were about to make love for the first time, and then Chad shows up upset and then Stephanie feels for him and lets him stay. Okay. I, I, I see why that could be frustrating. Oh, it’s more than frustrating, man. What was supposed to turn out is this romantic evening.

Really ends up just being the three of us playing video games. And I understand that he’s your best friend at all. I get it. I get it. But he’s the definition of a third wheel. Alex cut the guy a brake. He just lost his wife in the worst way possible. He probably just doesn’t wanna be alone. That I know that.

And I get it, and I feel for him. I really do. But like I said, this is getting ridiculous, man. I, I, I, I just had a meeting scheduled with Stephanie yesterday. Instead, she goes ice skating with, with, with Chad and the. It’s like every time I turn around, this guy’s there and, and, and, and

I, I don’t know. I don’t know. I, I, I saw him calling and Anthony, you turned her phone off without her now. Yes. Without her knowing, obviously. I thought maybe it was just the kids calling to say goodnight. I thought it was harmless. Sunny that maybe she. Call him back, man. I had no idea that she wouldn’t be able to say goodbye to her mom.

I’m sorry. No, no. Don’t be sorry. I should be the one. Sorry, I, I didn’t mean to intrude. I can come back. No, no. Fine. Really? You sure? I’m sure. I’m good now. So tell me, what do you got? Well, unfortunately not much at the moment. If Kristen is telling the truth, we’re gonna track down whoever stole that orchid ray working on it right now.

He’s a team at the Damaris. We are searching every inch of that secret room. I sure hope you find that orchid. It may be too late for Mike, Kayla and Kate. But I sure do hope Marlena can be spared.

Yeah. Was Kate’s express wishes to be cremated? So, uh, here she is. Well not her obviously, but, uh, it’s still very comforting to have this close to me. Of course, it. Yeah, I mean, you know, I always thought it was strange, you know, I am carrying around that room with Tony’s Ices and, uh, talking to it like he was still here, but, uh, kind of get it now, kind of understand whatever helps buddy.

Except, uh, I’m not sure it is helping, you know, I did say that it. Very comforting cabinet here with me, but uh, actually I just, uh, I am numb right now. Jesus doesn’t, doesn’t feel real. And I guess that’s what they call. Denial, right? Yes, of course. Of course. You’re in denial losing your, your wife and your sister.

It is too much. You’re right, Paul. It is. It’s way too much.

It’s alright.

Fine. Take it. Thank you. Thank you for saving me for myself. Hey, you’re my brother. We have to be there for each other, especially now.

Speak bitch. Have you told Billy and Austin yet? I, I spoke with Austin yesterday and he’s trying to get in touch with Billy. On an assignment somewhere, and oh, Cassie spoke with Cassie and now everyone knows not everybody. What, who, who else is there? You gotta tell Phillip. It’s Phillip, Philip. He’s been missing for a year.

Lucas, I, I didn’t wanna believe it, but I just, That he died. Rex, my brother Phillip is very much alive.

Phillip is in a mental institution. How do you know this? Listen to me. Remember when we thought the Brady stabbed Phillip? Yeah. Phillip Framed. What? Yeah, he, he was outta control man. He was in a complete jealous rage over Chloe. He lost it. He had a breakdown, and, and if anyone knew about that, he’d, he’d probably be in here with me.

And mom was okay with this. Mom didn’t think that Philip could handle prisons. Shane Victor said him away, you know, somewhere where he could get better, hopefully. But, She wanted to do the same thing for me, but I wouldn’t let her,

doesn’t surprise me. This is vintage mom, right? ? Yep. Even when the chips were down. She was always looking out for her kids.

Oh, oh, oh honey. It’s more than you should have to bear losing your, your wife and your sister one night after the other. Oh, such wonderful women, and you are your beautiful sister, Kayla. Well, I didn’t know her too well, but she always made me feel welcome here in.

Oh, and Kate. Well, she and I, we knew each other a little bit better. She was direct, honest. Ah, you did not have to guess what that woman was thinking about . It was like someone else I knew. Right. That’s why she and I ended up with a really good connect. Because when we got to talking, really talking, we found we had a a lot in common.

We both been through some bad times with bad men. We, we survived. We got stronger for it. Yeah, no. Talking to Kate that day, I felt like I’d met a kendred spirit. I was, I was lucky to know her.

I remember when I was, Uh, my father would speak very highly of Kayla. He would say how wonderful she was and how, how lucky you were to have found her. Yeah, my old buddy Marcus sure was right about that. And just living in Salem these past few months, I’ve really got to see how amazing Kayla was. She was thought.

Caring. She was. She gave her all, and not just to her friends and family, to her patients. It was really important to her, but her patients felt respected.

But the kids and. We were the lucky ones as we had her. Love Steve. You still do. She lives on through your kids

and her love. Her love will always stay with you te it’s here in your heart.

So you don’t remember turn off your phone? No, but I know it was off because this morning when I went to check my emails, I had to turn it back on. I must have turned it off when I was with Alex.

Maybe he just didn’t wanna be disturbed. I guess

I remember we were in his room and then I went into the bathroom to change. It’s probably when he did it, I guess, but I just, I don’t remember doing it. Damn, man. If I could go back in time, I would give. Anything not to have turned that damn phone off. I’m sure you’re not the only one. As soon as Chad got there, we raced over to the hospital, but it was too late.

My God, if we just got there a little bit sooner, should would’ve been able to see her mom one last time, that now she’s beating herself. She didn’t get there. She didn’t get a chance to say goodbye,

so whatcha you gonna do? I don’t think there’s anything I can do. Sonny. I obviously can’t fix this. No, you can’t. Five. Or what? You can tell Stephanie the truth, come clean about what really happened.

Getting a little misty in here. I better go fix my makeup.

You. A really good one. I know. And I appreciate all the good things she said about, uh, Kate Kayla.

Yeah, but she, she meant every word. She, uh, she was fond of both women and. Buddy, how close I was to both Kate and Kayla and, uh, love Kayla almost as if she were my own sister. Yeah, Kate. Well, we, we had our issues over the years, but we ended up being very good friends.

She did Dad, she did drive me crazy sometimes though. you, me both part. Oh, that’s because she was, well, the woman, she was a force to be reckoned with. Oh. Oh. That she was , you know, when she wanted something. When she wanted something for herself or for. Somebody else. She, she made sure she got it.

you have to go to the sanitarium. You have to tell Philip what happened. Where is he? Roman can give you the details for, my dad knows about this too. Mom wasn’t gonna lie to him. She told him everything. Trust me, he’ll be able to point you in the right.

Okay. Okay. I’ll go. Thank you. I, I know you’ll break the news to him, Jim. Of course, I will. Look, I don’t wanna make his life any worse or more difficult than it already is, besides, now that mom’s gone, we siblings have to stick together.

You know, I understand why you can’t stop replaying what happened last. Trying to figure out why you, why you didn’t get the messages.

Marlena told me,

she told me that, um, thinking that you could change the outcome is just a, a way to feel like you still have some control. Yeah. That sounds about right.

When Abby died,

I kept thinking that, you know, if I just hadn’t taken the kids to see a movie, or, you know, if we had gone to Boston that night that things would be different.

It took me a long time to realize that it wasn’t my.

There was no way that I could’ve known what was gonna happen. No one ever knows. No. No one ever knows.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry to keep harping on this, but Chad, I hardly ever turn my phone off, so for it to be off. Just when I needed it more in my entire life to be reachable.

I’m sorry that, that, that’s making this so much harder for you. It is. Because when I saw that you called, I just wanted to, I just wanted to turn back time and answer the phone so that you could tell me about mom and then I would’ve run to the hospital to. And I would’ve held her in my arms and I would’ve told her what a great mom she was.

I can’t tell Stephanie the truth, son. Are you kidding me? She’ll hate me. Besides, it’s not like it’s gonna change anything now anyway. No, it’s not gonna change what happened last night, but it can change what happens from now. I mean, do, do you really wanna start your relationship with this, this huge secret hanging over your head?

That’s the whole point we just started. If I tell her this, that’s it. We’re done. Okay. But if you don’t, what kind of relationship are you gonna have? Listen, you said that you really care about Stephanie. I do. Then you’re comfortable lying to her about something this important.

Okay, your standing lunch order, I made sure the cheese on your panini is melted, just the way you like it. Thanks. But I didn’t come here just for lunch. No. You know, with everything going on, I haven’t had a moment to tell you how sorry I am about Kayla and Kate. Thank you, Jay. That means a lot. I mean, I’m sure it goes without saying how I felt about Kayla, but I wanted you to know how kind Kate was to me.

Well, I know she liked you a lot and uh, she was a good person to have in your corner.

I sure was lucky to have her and Mar visiting. I was over. I was just gonna leave.

Thanks for coming. Thank you for everything. Of course, man, Lord. Take care of yourself, okay? Not just for your sake. The sake of everyone who cares about you, including me, right?

You tell your buddy Orpheus to stop pushing booze on my brother or I will talk to your warden and I will have you fired. Kate Roberts kids stick together. All right.

Hey. Yeah, come in. I’m sure I am. Come on.

I ran into Jada at the pub. Oh, and she told you where you could find me. Huh? . I appreciate you checking up on me, man. But, uh, I’m, I’m fine. I just had to come down and make some arrangements. Can I help you with anything? No, I can handle it, but thanks Steve. Um, I, I, I know you, you know, the K was one of my closest friends.

Yeah. I was far from the only one. Your wife. She, well, she touched so many lives. And for those of us who, who loved her and would love to by her, what we want to do, what would make her happy? And right now, right now, that means looking after you.

Thanks buddy. Thank you.

Thank you for coming by and saying all the right things. Yeah. I don’t know if I didn’t.

I’m around if you want to talk. Thank you. I appreciate that. And please thank Thomas and Charlotte for my card. Yeah, I will. I love it. They’re crazy about you. You know.

Don’t hesitate to call me. Okay. Day, night, doesn’t matter. I’ll be here. I won’t. Thank you.

Of course I’m not comfortable lying to Steph. I wasn’t trying to hurt her, Sonny. I just made a mistake. Yeah, I know. But this mistake is eating you up inside and, and the longer that you keep her in the dark, the longer you’re gonna be haunted by it. And what, what if she figures the truth out on her own then?

I wish you figured that out. I don’t know, but it, it sure is how possible. And then she’ll know that you didn’t just turn off her phone, but you lied about it too. So wouldn’t it be better if she just found out the truth from you?

Hey son. Hey dad. I just came from seeing Lucas. How is he holding up? As best he can. He also told me about. Yeah, I am really sure about that. You know what, I am really the one that should have told you. No, no. Look, you, you just were doing what you thought was best for him. He wants me to go to the sanitarium.

Tell Philip about mom. I think you should. Okay. I’ve you sure? I don’t wanna leave you alone right now, pres. I appreciate your concern, but I’ll manage. Okay. I want you to go correct. All right. Phil needs to know what happened and you are the best person to tell him. You’re sure about that? Yes, I am sure.

And not only that, which mom would find, okay.

Oh, big track. Hey, sunny. Um, Look, I’m, I’m sorry about Kate. Thank you. And I’m sorry about your Aunt Kayla. I just saw Steph. How’s she doing? It’s a stupid question. She’s, she’s in a lot of grief. She know I’m obsessing about not getting my call to tell her about her mom, which is, which is why she didn’t get to say goodbye to her last night.

That’s, that’s gotta be tougher. She’s in a lot of pain, beating herself up for turning off her phone.

I’m go freshen up. I’ll be right.

Hey, I just stopped by to check on you.

I’m. Because there’s something I have to ask you. Okay,

Alex, last night. When I went into the bathroom to change, did you turn my phone off?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

know where Dr. Rolf is? Yeah. He’s in Jakarta. Jakarta as in Indonesia. Yes. What’s he doing there? Lee Shin set him up with a secret lab. Ugh. I guess Lee thought no one would find him on the other side of the world. Yeah, but I found him. With the Elise own sister,

please. I’m glad I found you here. Why? What’s going on? My life is falling apart. I need your help.

Look, what are you doing here?

I just spoke to my nephew, Johnny. Apparently he and Wendy. Went to Jakarta back in November and found Dr. Rolf November. Yeah. He told them the same thing he told you, which is that Lee and my sister Kristen made him brainwash me to turn me against you. Does that mean that you believe me now?

I do.

What do you mean you are coming home? Well, you have a room and I need a place to sleep. Aren’t you staying with your baby daddy at John o Malina’s? I did until my baby daddy threw me out. Not surprising. Considering what you did to him, what exactly have you. Johnny just spoke with Allie, so I suppose you could say, I know everything, which is why I don’t want you living in this house.

Kristen forced you to break up with me. How would she do that? I guess she would call it extortion, but what was she holding over your. The lives of people that I love. Kristin played God, Chloe, and now two women are dead.

I heard about Kayla. I’m so sorry.

Thank you. How’s your mom doing? She’s an icu. She’s not, she’s not doing well. I don’t know what to say. It’s, it’s awful. I was gonna reach out to you before, so you know what, I should get going. Well, Eric, wait, what?

You just lost your. And now your mom is, yeah. This is so much more important than what’s going on between us. And could you just talk to me please?

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

I can’t believe it. Kate and Kayla. Oh my God. Marlena. Is she, Marlena is, uh, she’s, she’s barely, barely hanging on Chloe. She’s, she’s at the hospital and it’s all because of Kristen. All three women had a relapse from the virus that Orpheus infected them with. Oh my God. That is, that is horrible. I thought they were out of the woods.

We all did. I don’t understand. What does Kristen have to do with. Kristen had the orchid. She was the one that provided the serum in the first place, and the only reason she was willing to turn it over was if I agreed to end my relationship with you. I cannot believe you’ve been holding those women’s lives over Brady’s head for months.

Oh my God. Just stop clutching your. You would’ve done the same thing to win over the person you love . All of this was so that he would break up with Chloe Lang. Well, like you said, Brady’s my baby daddy, and Rachel wanted us to be a family and I wanted to give that to her. So it was about Rachel. Yes, and Bri and I belong.

Well, as warm and fuzzy as that sounds, we need to talk about the fact that two women are dead and there could be a third. I had every intention of giving all those three women their doses. If someone stole the orchid, that is not my fault. Well, that’s debatable, and Brady clearly doesn’t see it that way.

Now he’s furious. That’s why he kicked me out the door.

So now you’ve come crawling back here with your tail between your legs. No, I came because this has always been my home. And you, my loving, wonderful brother are gonna welcome me with open. And why would I do that? Because if you don’t, I’m gonna tell our brother, Stefan exactly what you did to him. Hmm. Oh my God.

It it happened. You, you believe what I’ve been saying this whole time, that, that Rolf messed with your head, that he made you hate me. . Yeah. And, and Wendy knew about this since November and she just told you now, protecting her big brother, I guess she was by maid of honor. We were, we were gonna be sisters.

How could she just stand there and let me marry a man who would do something this horrible? Well, from what Johnny said, she hated what Lee did, but couldn’t bring herself to betray him. Oh. So she betrayed me instead. Well, now we know what they did. Now we know what they all. Stephan to keep you and me apart.

I just wanted to see Gabby. I begged her for another chance. How’d she react? She threw her wedding cookies at me. She said she hates me, that our marriage is over, that were done forever and I’m so sorry. I appreciate your sympathy, Jing. But that’s not what I need from you right now. What is it that you need?

You must talk to Gabby and change her mind.

So Kristen said that she would withhold the serum unless you agree to break up with me. And then she forced me to move her in. And, and, and if I didn’t, she would let all three women die. She wasn’t bluffing either, cuz I, I’ve watched the women get weaker and weaker.

What did you tell me, Brady? I could have kept quiet. I could have helped you. Just, you, you, you, no idea how much I wanted to tell you. I wanted to be honest with you. I wanted to tell you the truth. I almost did. I almost slipped a couple times, but I was, I was, she was threatening me, Chloe. I was nervous that if, that, if I told you and somehow she found out that I told you or anyone, those three women would’ve died.

But once they got the treatment and they recovered, oh, she, she, she claimed that they needed supplemental doses in order to stay healthy. That is how she kept me on the hook. Oh my God. And you didn’t tell anyone Very, my pinpoint. I eventually confided in Eric and we came up with a plan to get the orchid.

So Kristen was blackmailing Brady this whole time, and that’s why he broke up with Chloe. It’s the only way to save my mom, Caitlin and Kate. But he couldn’t tell Chloe well, I just came from seeing her, and then Brady showed up and said that he wanted to talk to her alone because he’s finally telling her the truth.

Wow. That’s gonna be a shock. I mean, he broke her heart. Hopeful. Only one good thing comes of this Brady will be free. He’ll be what? The person he loves, the one he belongs to.

So Christian led Brady to this orchid and it wasn’t there. What happened to it? She claims that it was stolen. John. He wouldn’t leave my mom’s bed. But he has his people looking everywhere for, well, hopefully he’ll find it soon. Yeah. If only we just come up with our plans sooner to force Kristen and turn it over.

What plan and how are you gonna force her? My kidnapping, Rachel,

I have no idea what you think I do to Stephan. Oh, , let’s stop playing games. I’ve had a very, very long day. Ready kicked me out. My daughter was kidnapped and former father Eric pointed a gun at me. Hmm. You’re lucky he didn’t pull the trigger given what you did to his mother, you seem disappointed. I have no ill will toward you despite the fact that you betrayed me and voted to keep dira in Gabby’s hands.

God bygones, right? Sure. But I don’t want your drama or machinations in this house. Oh, you only want your drama and machinations in this house. I didn’t do anything to Stephanie . Oh God. Did Ralph inject you with something to make you forget? Huh cuz I will be clearly happy to refresh your memory. My memory’s just fine.

Okay. Then you should remember, um, that you’ve known about Stephan’s brainwashing for quite some time yet you chose to keep it a secret. So, so I also kept it a secret until now and we both know how fast that could change. All right. I just sent you the address. Look, I know it’s outta your jurisdiction. I know it’s it’s way outta your jurisdiction, but is there any way you can get anyone to Ralph’s lap?

Oh yeah. I’ve got contacts on the State Department over there. I’m sure I can get in touch with someone, right? If we gotta hurry. All right. Finding Ralph is, is the only way we’re gonna find the serum that could save Grandma Marlena’s life. You and Wendy were in that lab Yeah, back in November. Do you remember seeing an orchid there?

No. But that doesn’t mean it’s not there. The Goun, Kayla Kate. They’re already gone. Grandma Marlene is fading fast. Please pray if this is our only hope. I understand. Listen, I promise you we are gonna do everything that we can to find Dr. Rolf and net zero. I promise

you think anything I say to Gabby will make her take you back. She’s very fond of you. She said she liked you from the moment she met you. I, I liked her too. Li but come on, this is a lost cause. The hell it is. We both know I’m better for Gabby than s Stephan Damara. Look at how he treated her because you had Dr.

Ralph condition his brain to hate her. Even so, even so. No, no, no. How does there, and even so, you made sure the guy not only didn’t love Gabby anymore, you made him repulsed by her. I know that. Just hear me out.

I love Gabby in a way. Stephan never could. We are good together. You said it yourself. It’s not up to me, but you can help. Please, please, Jing win. Just talk to her. She’ll. She’ll listen to you. I know she will. That little hypocrite pretended to be on my side. She even drove me to the airport to come see you and the whole time she was covering for her.

We’ve both been lied to whole hell of a lot. You know, I’m gonna deal with Wendy later. But what matters now is that you, you know the truth. You know, I thought I lost you forever, but then you, then you came back and you couldn’t stand the side of me. But now you understand why you, you know the truth, which is why you came back here.

Because if it wasn’t for Rolfe, we’d be together. Right? You know that this changes everything for us.

No, it doesn’t.

So when Kristen finally led me to the place where she was keeping the orchid, it was gone. She claims that she has no idea what happened to it, and you believe her. She would never willingly give up her leverage on me because now, now she has nothing to hold over my hand, and that’s why you kicked her out.

Chloe, I kicked her ass out of there as soon as I could, and I came right here because I wanted to let you know, baby, I’ve never stopped loving you. I was forced to do what I did and I knew that I would find my way back.

You are not saying anything. I just wish I know. I baby. I know, I know. No, no. You don’t understand. I, I wish I would’ve known all of this before I slept with Stephan.

How could you say this doesn’t change anything between us? Are you forgetting you’re married to someone else? Someone that I know despise? I, I need to call a voy and try to figure out how to file for a divorce or an annulment, anything to get away from the son of a bitch. I mean, how could I wanna be with this person after what they did to me?

To you? His lies ripped our lives apart. Yes, Gabby. They did. And now that I know the truth, I feel horrible for how badly you’ve been hurt and all this. And I am so sorry for the way I treated you. No, that none of that was your fault. That was all. And me maybe. But I’m the one who said the words, Gabby, you loved me and I still love you.

I know you do,

but I don’t still love you. Well, that’s because Rolf turned you against me. He pushed you into Chloe’s arms. However, it happened, Gabby, my feelings for Chloe are real,

and there’s really no way to say this next part that won’t sound. But well just say it. I know in my head that I used to love you, but as I stand here and I look at you,

I only feel terrible for how much you’ve been.

I don’t feel any attraction toward you. That’s because Rolf has conditioned your brain. The fact that it’s it’s still working shows how successful Rolf was at programming you to hate mete. You. You don’t hate me, Stephen. You love me jammy. No, listen. You just have to answer one question. Do you wanna be with Chloe, somebody that someone else forced you to love?

Or do you wanna be with a person that you chose to love me, Lee, what you’re asking of me, I’m asking you to do the right thing. Have you seen Stephan with. , it’s clear they belong together and I belong with Gabby. No. How is it clear? How is it clear? She, she wants nothing to do with you. She’s furious with you.

She’s just hurt. Okay. She can get past the betrayal and remember how good it was. Go help her. Remember. Tell her how sorry I am. Yes, you vote. Listen, then make her listen. You could do this for me. Okay? I believe in you

Johnny. Hey,

I’m so sorry about your aunt. Thank you. Uh, how’s your grandmother doing? Uh, you know, we’re, uh, we’re holding out hope that she’ll beat this thing, but with, you know, with what happened with, uh, Kate, not Kayla, Johnny, I, I’m, I’m very sorry about all of this, but Wendy really needs to get going. God, please.

Can’t you see how upset he’s right now? Look, if you, if you’ve got something important to do, I don’t wanna keep No, it can wait. No, it can’t. Lee wants me to convince Gabby that he deserves another chance. Oh. Uh, well in that case, Wendy, I should tell you that I, uh, I told Ste. That we knew about the brainwashing before the wedding, and I just, I, I, I thought it was only right that, that he know that Gabby was telling the truth.

Oh, all the more reason for Wendy to get over there and talk to Gabby before Stephan does. Jing, when this is my life, I need you.

I’ll call you later.

Oh, good luck, Lee. Before you go, oh, we need to have a learn.

It’s always so refreshing when we can be honest with each other, don’t you? You want to talk? Honestly, it wasn’t that long ago that you stood in this very room and told me how sorry you were, that my mother was dead. I offered to accompany you to the funeral, but you turned me down ej. You didn’t want my sympathy.

So this is payback for that slack? No, it’s called desperation. See, I need a place where I can regroup and, uh, figure out my next move on winning Brady back.

Here’s an idea. Maybe you could have Rolf fill around in his brain so he falls back in love with you. If I could find Rolf, I, it was a. Hilarious. Can we just stick to the subject at hand? Can I stay or do I need to go find Stephan and tell him how you betrayed him? Are you forgetting your role in our brother’s ordeal?

You were a part of it long before I was. So what? I’m not running the company, so I have nothing to lose. And besides Lee Shannon and. What we did was for a higher moral purpose, . Oh, and what was that about? Love. Yeah. We did it for true. Love you, . You kept a secret to hold onto power. Power, which you could lose if Stephan learns about your complicity.

What? Huh? Oh, no. Witty retort for that one. Yeah. Brother, why don’t you. Be a deer and grab my bag. I think I’m gonna stay in the guest room in the west Wing. I’m in the sunsets on the balcony. So striking this time of year, or would you rather I tell everyone what I know. Know about what

you kidnapped Rachel. It wasn’t a real kidnapping. It was a ruse to pressure, Kristen to turn it over. She’s just a child. She must have been traumatized. She was, and you know how dangerous Kristen is? Used pawn in this game. She was safe. I’m telling you. She was safe the entire time. Really? Really? Where did you keep her?

I left her with Sloan. Sloan, your shady hookup buddy. She’s someone I totally trust. Why do you have a problem with that? I have a problem with it. The question is, why don’t you have a problem with it?

I, oh my God, Eric, that woman is a menace. It’s not my place to judge her. Oh, . Oh, really? Oh, but you have no problem judging me. Here we go again. Oh, here we go again. In, you know what Sloane did to Chanel and Paulina? She blackmailed them. She threatened to send them to prison. She tried to ruin their lives.

Is this really about Chanel and Paulina? Are you just jealous that Sloane and I are sleeping together?

Sorry to interrupt. You know Harold’s let me in. I’ll be sure to have a word with him about that. Is there something we can help you with? I hope so. Were you two just discussing the missing orchid? You mean the stolen orchid, right? Stolen, yes. Perhaps it’s been, um, recovered. I assure you, commissioner, if I knew anything about the whereabouts of that, I wouldn’t keep it to myself.

Are you sure about that? Marna is my son’s grandmother. Losing her, especially after having just lost his other grandmother would break his heart. I never want that to happen. Right. What about you, Kristen? How would you feel if Marlena didn’t survive?

I should, uh, I, I should get to the hospital to check on my grandma. Then I won’t keep you. I just have one question before you leave. Okay. When you were being so honest with your Uncle Stephan, did you happen to tell him your father’s role in all this? Did you inform s Stephan that his brother EJ knew what Dr.

Rolf had done and decided to keep his mouth shut? No. No, I, I didn’t mention to him that my father knew that. Had Ralph brainwash him. It’s nice to see you Tamara’s all stick together. But you have no problem throwing me under the bus.

I’m not asking you how you feel right now. No. You’re asking me who I want to love. Stephen, don’t you wanna take back your free will even if it means losing. Okay, that is Helen. It’s you, Javi. Can we please talk? Look, I understand that you’re upset with me, but I’m here because yes, Stephen just told me how you knew all about what your brother did to us and you kept it a secret.

So yes, I do wanna talk.

You slept with Stephan

on New Year’s Eve, right before Gabby burst into our hotel room. I was, I, I was afraid that’s where the two of you were headed. I just wish I would’ve known any of this. Chloe. Chloe.

It hurts, but it’s not your fault, not your fault. I, I, I put you in this position and at at least you know that Stephan’s feelings for you aren’t real. I understand that, but the thing is, my feelings for him. They are real.

When you ended things between us, I was devastated. It felt like not only had I lost you, but that I had lost solid ground in. Because when we were in the same room together, it felt like you still loved me. Yes, I did. Which is why it made no sense why it was so hard to process, and I, I, I, I, I’m, I’m so sorry that I put you through that, Chloe, and I know, I know, I know that you weren’t trying to hurt me, that you had to sacrifice your own happiness to save someone else that you loved.

And the, wow, the worst part about it was that I, I saw how much pain it was causing you.

I’m not gonna pretend that it wasn’t awful. Then I didn’t cry myself to sleep almost every night. Okay. But then Stefan was there at my lowest moments. He was there for me, and he helped me heal. We got close, and I would’ve never slept with him if my feelings were him weren’t strong and real because they were.

And they are.

I thought we were friends. Wendy, almost sisters. We were. Well then how could you keep this from me? Believe me, it’s not something I’m proud of. Is that supposed to make it better? No. I just, I came here to say I’m sorry and my brother Lee, he, he, all right, lemme save your breath and tell you what I told your big.

I hate him for what he did to me and I hate him for what he did to Stephan. And that’s not gonna change even if Roth straps me to a table and tries to brainwash me. Just please, Wendy. Bye-bye. See you around.

My brother and I were just stating the obvious actually. That losing Marlena would be a tragedy just as Kate’s St. Kayla’s death was a tragedy. Yeah, I don’t think so. Do you know what I think? I think the two of you were conspiring about something when I walked in. Do you wanna share? My sister and I were discussing a family mag, which doesn’t concern you.

Okay, fair enough. But. Speaking of family, I thought you might want to know that your family doctor is, uh, about to be arrested in Jakarta. Dr. Wilhelm Rolf, he found Rolf. I also called in some favors, so as soon as he’s arrested, he will be extradited to Salem where he will have to answer for his crimes in case you’re about to make an accusation.

Lee was the one who stashed the way, the good doctor. We had nothing to do with that. Well, thank you for the clarification and um, since you’re being so cooperative, I’m sure you won’t mind if I have a forensics team come search the, uh, secret room in the tunnels for leads. Why do we still call it a secret room?

And everyone knows about it. , you don’t, right ahead. You have nothing to hide. Oh, that’s, Fantastic. I’m also gonna need to review these security tapes for the past week. Mm-hmm. To start, we want the Orchid fan just as much as you do. Joni has already lost one grandmother, and I will do everything I can to make sure he doesn’t lose another.

Just so we’re clear on this, my father had no idea what you had Ralph do to Stephan until after the fact. I’m sure s Stephan would be delighted to hear that look. I am not excusing what my dad did. Okay. But he’s not the one who had Ralph dig around into Stephan’s brain, rip him away from the woman he loves.

He’s also not the one who pulled the plug on my uncle. No, that was you. I had my reasons. Sure you did. And listen, while we’re having this little, uh, heart to heart, let me just say you sending Wendy over there to talk to Gabby, that’s weak. Wendy is being a good sister. But you pressured her into it. See, you’ve put her into yet another impossible position.

Again, I just want Gabby to understand how much I love her. Sure. But like you said, Damara stick together. So I’m hoping that Gabby makes it explicitly clear to Wendy that she’s not going to take you back because she loves. She always will.

This is not about jealousy. You know, A is like family to me and I am protective of anyone who is in his family. Chanel and Paulina, hardly innocent in this situation. Oh my God, I cannot believe you are defending that woman. You don’t even know her. I know. Sloan lost her mother under terrible circumstances, and I’m afraid I’m about to relate to that.

Very sweet. Sorry, this is not the appropriate time to be arguing about Sloan. Why? I’m very happy to have this conversation and why we’re at it. Why don’t we talk about who you are shacking up with now? No point. I am not pretending that EJ is a saint and neither am I, but when we end our marriage, Decided that we were too different to make it work.

I was too much of a sinner and you were too much of a choir boy. But now I don’t know anymore. Eric, what kind of man are you?

I did what I did because I was protecting my family. You slept with Sloan to protect your family. I’m talking about the kidnapping I call my mother could die. I get that. So you don’t like the way I acted because I allowed Rachel to be babysat by someone you don’t approve of babysat. Okay. My soul is not questionable.

Maybe what I did because I was trying to protect my mother, but let’s talk about. And how you acted to end the life of my child,

Brady, as much as I wish I could, you can’t expect me to just come back to you and act as if nothing has changed. Chloe. Chloe, nothing’s, nothing has changed for me, Brady. I thought that you didn’t want me and that you chose to be with Kristen, and that was devastating, so I had to protect myself. I had to force myself to get over you.

The folks from the forensics lab are on their way. I assume you won’t give them any trouble. I’ll even offer them snacks. Wow. What a guy, huh? Oh, and Kristen? Yes. Eric Brady was in my office earlier demanding that I arrest. Arrest me for what? Just withholding the orchid that could save his mother’s life.

And you haven’t complied with his demand? Yeah. Well, I don’t have the facts to back up an arrest yet, but I’m sure as soon as I get my hands on Dr. Rolf, I can get him to flip on you and Lee and anybody else who might be involved. I’ll be in touch. Have a great day.

I can’t believe that Lee sent his little sister to try to change my mind about him, especially since she’d been keeping a secret. Clearly not a winning strategy. Yeah, but nobody could change my mind about how I feel about you.

I wish that you would say something,

Gabby, I know that you want to be with me and I feel horrible for how badly you’ve been hurt. Through all this, but it’s not gonna happen. Look, I know it’s hard to imagine, but if we could just find and have him undo what he did, when do you think I’m just gonna fall back in love with you? I don’t know. I mean, maybe you’ll still go on hitting me.

Maybe you still left. But don’t you wanna be yourself fully? Again, don’t you wanna make your own choices? Don’t you want your free will back?

How’s it going down there? Race team is descended upon the not so seeker room and the tunnels. Well, are they going to find anything? Unlikely. Well then it’s a good thing you welcome to him. I know. Hmm. Well, the next big question is, are you gonna do the same for your sister as if you’ve given me a choice?

At a boy you can stay for now. You better pray for Marlene’s sake and for yours if they find that orchid

look. Um,

I know I can’t just ask you to flip switch and go back to where things were before, but you need to know that I didn’t have a choice when it came to being with Kristen and, and, and you, you have a choice.

I under. I understand that, but I just, I can’t make that choice in this.

I, um, I’ll give you all the time you need and I’ll wait for as long as I have to.

I, I, I better go back to the hospital and check on, check on my dad. I’ll give him and Marlene on my best. Yeah. I, I will.

I love you

and when you are done figuring this whole thing out, I hope you’ll come to realize that you love me too.

Do you know how cruel it is to blame me over and over again for Jada’s choice? Jada’s choice? It is unfair. You know what? I’ve said this before, but I’m gonna say it again cuz maybe this time you’ll actually hear. I did not talk your ex-girlfriend into not having your baby. The way you go on and on accusing me.

It’s as if I dragged her to the abortion clinic myself. Oh, damn. Why you helped her make a choice. . You painted a total negative picture of what motherhood would be. If Jada wanted the baby, if she wanted to be a mother, then nothing I said or anyone said would’ve made a damn bit of difference. I totally disagree.

Of course you do. Oh, you know what? I no longer care if you agree or disagree, or if you think I’m the one who deprived you of your dreams of being a father. So how about this? How about we don’t discuss it anymore? Okay. Does that work for you? Dad works great for me. Oh, great. Now this sin is gonna go pray for your mother.

And you know what, while I’m at it, I’m gonna go pray for you too.

Did you talk to Gabby?

I did, but Stephan was there when I arrived. See your act. You got to her first. Lee. If we, if we hadn’t waited, if you hadn’t fought with me, please stop. Okay. I know how much you wanna be with Gabby, but this, this is over. No. Yes. She hates you for what you did. It is time to face reality and accept that she never wants to be with you again.

Okay. Let me know if you hear something Gabby. Hey, um, hey, we need your help. We need to find, we’ll roll. Why I now believe that that quack brainwashed me. Yeah. So Stephan’s agreed to have the mad doctor undo whatever it is he did. And after that, we’ll see where that leaves us. Uhhuh. Johnny thinks he knows where he is.

Yeah. Well, I’m sorry about, I got some bad news. I just got off the phone with the Jakarta police. They raided Ross lab, but he wasn’t there. He’s gone. Disappeared without a trace.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, breakfast in bed again, . It’s uh, Harold’s morning off. Oh, even so that’s lovely of you. Uh oh. There’s no paper there. Harold always brings me a paper with breakfast. I know. Okay, well, I’ll let it slide. Just this once.

Let’s find on with you this morning, Nicole. I have some sad news and I wanted to break it to you myself,

Callie. I’m, uh, I am so sorry about Kate. Yeah, yeah, of course. Um, I will, uh, I’ll meet you at the hospital as soon as visiting hours start.

I love you too.

Uh, uncle Stephan, you’re. You’re finally back. Yeah. Sheer pan and moaning at the airport. I’m telling you, every single flight delayed or canceled, it’s a miracle. I even made it back from Miami, although I probably wouldn’t have minded another couple extra days in paradise with Chloe. So you uh, you had a good time.

Yeah. We rang in the new year on the dance floor at the hottest club in South Beach. No, uh, I don’t un unforeseen. Interruptions or Ah, you know about Gabby? Yeah. Yeah, I know about Gabby. I drove over to the airport. So she found you on New Year’s Eve? Yeah, she found me. It was a little bit after midnight, but yeah, she found me, told me everything.

Hey, welcome back. How’d it go? Did you.

Oh no, that doesn’t look good. Are you okay? I’m sorry,

Gabby. I,

Hey. I know, I know. It’s

Abby if you only knew. Damn it.

Hello, Lee Chloe. Hello. You’re. Did, uh, did um, Gabby just stop right there. I’m not really interested in answering your questions. Be damn well. Better answer mine.

Ugh. Rachel’s lunch. I knew we forgot something.

I hope. Eric,

I just came from seeing my phone. How is he doing? How is he doing? His wife just died and soon did his sister, my mother, she could be next.

Or maybe you beat her to it,

like Sam through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Then when I finally arrived in Miami, Stephen, who was in bed with Chloe, it was awful. Ra It was just, they just, Ugh. But, but you told him, right? You told him what Ralph did, that he planted those negative feelings about you that made him fall in love with Chloe? Yeah, I told him, I told him everything, but he says that, that, that, that doesn’t matter at all.

That he doesn’t care at all.

When you say Gabby told you everything, I mean that she told me everything. The whole alleged conspiracy theory, the brainwashing Lee pulling the plug, Rolfe and Lee playing God with me on the slab. All of it. Okay. I’m, I’m, I’m sorry, but you seem pretty blase about all this. You’re not upset. Did Rolf turned you against a woman that you love?

I mean, she married somebody else because you pushed her away. How am I supposed to believe any of that? Huh? What do you mean? Gabby tracked Ro down a couple of weeks ago before he left Salem. He swore up and down according. He swore up and down that he did nothing to manipulate my feelings for her and she believed him.

Now, all of a sudden, what? She changes her story and says the opposite. How am I supposed to know what story to believe?

I know. You know what? I know that Ralph brainwashed you. How do you know that? Because I heard it straight from the source. Himself,

Kate and Kayla, are they gone?

They um, They had a relapse of that rare disease they had months ago.

A relapse. May I, I, I don’t get it. I, I thought they, I mean that, that anonymous vial, right. They all, they all took it. I know. We all thought they were cur. They’ve been perfectly healthy all this time, but now,

oh my God.

What about Marlina? I mean, she had a too. Yes,

apparently she’s been similarly afflicted. She’s very ill, but. She’s still holding off. Hello?

Oh my God.

Poor Eric.

So you want revenge. Is that it Eric? You’re not a murderer. You are a priest. For God’s sake, Bible says hi for. Isn’t that a metaphor for, uh, shop hell up? Not a king. And I’m not a coward, apparently. You think I am kidnapped your daughter, didn’t I? Oh, yes, yes you did. I mean, it’s more of a glorified play date.

I mean, what you watched minions pop some popcorn put on makeup? I know you wouldn’t hurt Rachel. Just like, you’re not gonna hurt me. Hurt you is what you.

I didn’t think so. You hand over that a woo kid. We’re both about to find out what I’m capable of.

Well, he threw me out. He told me that he wanted to stay with Chloe and he threw me out. He didn’t even believe. I’m so sorry, Gabby. What we need to do is find Rolf. Okay. Maybe that sick bastard can undo what he did. If he still can, if Stephan will let him. Believe me, I am doing everything that I possibly can to try and find Rolf.

We need to get him to corroborate your story to, to pack it up. That that Lee and Kristen masterminding this whole mess. Yeah. Right. But I did have to release them from custody. What? I just don’t have the evidence to hold them, but believe me, I am going to get it. They are not gonna get away with what they did to you and Stephan.

Well, I’m not sure what you’ve heard, but I know everything, Lee. I was with Stephan when Gabby crashed our New Year’s in Miami. She told us everything. How you ordered Ralph to brainwash Stephan to keep him away from Gabby. He only did that because you knew you couldn’t compete. You played Godly with Stephan’s life.

With Gabby’s life, the woman that you claim to love. I do love Gabby very much who you have won hell of a wave showing. She hates you now, and not only did you tinker with s Stephan’s mind and manipulate Gabby, you got me involved in this nightmare. Why did you drag me into this? Lee

Ralph told you about this when, when overheard her brother having a conversation about Ralph and you, she got worried. You know, he might have gotten in over his head somehow. So she and I, we, uh, we, uh,

Jakarta, we took the company jet to Indonesia to find Rolf. It wasn’t some joy right? To impress Wendy. Okay. We, we were on a mission and you found him there, and Wendy tricked him into. Everything okay. Brainwashing you. All this stuff with Gabby and Roth got the upper hand on us and tried to inject us with some drug that would make us forget everything, just like he did to Gabby when she confronted him.

Right before he fled Salem. So Gabby was really drugged.

That’s why she was convinced he was innocent. Yeah. Oh my God. And when the drug wore off, she blew up her whole wedding. Expose the truth, God, on a plane to Miami to find you, to tell you everything.

Okay, well this is all very uh, Enlightening, but there’s just one piece missing for me. You said that you went to Jakarta weeks ago. Why am I just now hearing about this

Eric’s aunt and his stepmother and now possibly his mother? I mean, just like that. Oh my God, it’s an unspeakable tragedy.

Eric’s already in a bad place and after everything he’s been through, I mean, being kicked out of the priesthood and, and then there’s Jada thinking he was gonna be a father and having that taken away from him and. Whatever the hell he’s doing with Sloan, hateful woman.

And then of course there’s me. You didn’t do anything. Nicole. Look at me. He turned his back on you for no goodies.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. I just, I wanna be there for him and I am sure I am. The last person he wants to see.

I’m afraid. Might be right about that,

Eric. If I knew where that orchid was, I would tell you, I swear. But how am I supposed to convince you that I’m telling the truth when you’ve got a gun pointed at me? Why would I believe anything you say? You have been a liar, not to mention a murder rapist. You now I’m not. Well, you love it. My mother died.

That is not true. Eric, shut up. I know you’re, you convinced Brady, you found ready to give up that orchid when poof, magically disappeared when we needed the most. No. I swear to you, I watched, I said shut the hell up.

It’s too convenient for all this to be a coincidence.

You’ve planned all this, but now your game is super

cause I got the gun.

You’re gonna to where that or is?

What the hell are you doing?

I’m so sorry, Nicole. Thank you. Yeah, but I, I, uh, I played my part in this. And you say, Eric pushed me away for no good reason and. Disagree because you’re too hard on yourself. It’s kind of you to say, but I think it’s the opposite. I think I am not hard enough on myself. Don’t say that, Nicole. You are a good person.

Hmm. And speaking for myself, having you stay here with me, to put it quite simply, it’s been very good to have you around your great company.

Well, I’m glad someone thinks so.

Um, before I forget,

think this belongs to you. I, uh, you know, I must have come off when I am. I ripped your shirt off the other.

Listen, I, I know it seems crazy that I am not ready to move on from Eric, especially when he hates my guts.

Look, you know what feels right. I will impress you.

Did I not pour to your liking?

No. No. It’s just this, this stupid. New Year’s resolution of mine. It just seems trivial now. No, I’m trying to, to quit caffeine and I’ve already failed.

I’ll be sure to add decaf after the shopping. Thanks. You know, but after the year, I’ve had, uh, no offense. But I’m thinking I’m gonna give up men instead.

What a fool. I was a trust shin. Right now I’m actually married to the creep way. We can be divorced buddies. I just got my papers from Nicole. Oh, we, I’m sorry. No, no. Hey, that’s for the best. . Oh my God. I gotta get to work. You gonna be okay? Oh yeah. Huh? Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, of course. Hey, my unsolicited advice, don’t give up on Steph, me.

Mm-hmm. give up. Come on. You know me better than that, I will never ever give up on the man I love. Dang. See. That’s what I like to hear. Okay.

See, you and Wendy flew halfway around the.

She risked her job and you risked, well, nothing really except maybe a stern talking to from your father, and you come back after having learned the truth. And you lie to my face.

I don’t get it.

If you tell him, not only could I lose Dira Enterprises, but I could also go back to prison for my complicity, please. I just lost my mother. Please don’t take anything else away from me, Johnny.

What are you not telling me?

Stephan, you’re back.

What’s going on here?

When Stephan woke up or came back to life, however you wanna put it, he not only hated Gabby, but he was fixated on. , why made no sense. We’d broken up way before he supposedly died, and I was with Brady then. So why, maybe you should ask yourself, who would stand to benefit from driving a wedge between you and Brady?

Are you saying that Kristen had a hand of this? Well, I’m not saying. But you happen to draw your own conclusions. No, no, no, no, no. You son of a bitch. You cannot screw around with people’s lives and then not own up to it. When you get caught, take some sort of responsibility. But no, you can’t do that can you?

Cuz you’re a disgusting excuse for a human being. Have you forgotten something? Uh, what to tell you to go to? No, but you work for me. Hmm. Not anymore. I quit.

Eric, she doesn’t know where the orchid is. Gimme, gimme the gun, man. Why are you doing this? Why you do everything she says or believe anything she says. Eric, Eric. Eric. She swore on our daughter’s life, okay? She has no reason to lie. She has every reason to manipulate you. Eric. Your mother needs you, brother.

We are running outta time. Gimme the. Please,

I’m playing your game.

If anything happens to a mother, she dies.

Thank you. I didn’t do it for you. I did it for my brother. Now that he’s gone, will you kindly go pack with bags and get out of this house?

Hey, I heard s Stephen was home, so I figured you were back too. Hey, I’m so happy to see you. Same here. I’m assuming you heard about that disaster in Miami? No, no. Actually, I, I, I didn’t even talk to s Stephan, but Chloe, listen, I’m, I’m so sorry. I really am. I mean, after what happened at Gabby’s wedding, I just felt that she should know where Stefan was.

No, it’s, it’s okay. Really? Honestly, I wish someone would’ve told her sooner. What do you mean? I mean, s Stephan and I rang in the new year by sleeping together. Okay. Yeah, I mean, I almost didn’t go through with it. When we got to Miami. I couldn’t stop thinking about Brady and I didn’t think I was ready.

But then I just thought, I deserve to be happy and I deserve to feel good. Yes, of course you do. So I went through with it and it really was wonderful. But then we were lying there together in each other’s arms, and Gabby comes bursting into our hotel room and she tells us everything that. Wolf had brainwashed Stephan into hating Gabby and fixating on me.

Oh, Chloe, I, I just feel so stupid. I mean, the only reason Stephan wanted me was because Wolf had engineered those feelings. No, I am sure. That is not the only reason. I don’t know. Nicole Stephan says he still hates Gabby and that his feelings for me are real no matter what Ralph did or didn’t do. But can I really believe.

You were just talking about what Ralph did. It’s Uncle Stephan. Yes. Johnny just informed me that he’s known all about this and he was just about to attempt to explain himself. Right. Um, well really, I, I kept quiet because of someone I care. Who?

Wendy. Wendy, um, yeah. She and I, she and I had gotten really close and her brother begged her not to expose him. She agreed. So I felt that I had to keep my mouth shut too for her. And that’s the whole story, huh? That’s the whole story.

Go away.

I said go away. I have nothing to say to you. Please, you, you don’t have to say anything. Just, just hear. Why should I, and all you’ve done is lie to me. You knew Stefan wasn’t alive and you didn’t tell me anything. Ke there was nothing to be done. He had no heart and all I had was a vague promise from a mad scientist who said, said there was a possibility he might wake up someday.

My interest in Stefan had nothing to do with you. It was about what resurrecting him might do for dam. Oh, okay. Who’s business over pleasure. Is that it, Gabby? No. Don’t Gabby me because you chose business over me, Lee over me. The the woman that you supposedly loved. If you just let me put this all in context, Gabby, in, in context, in in what context could, you’re lying to me.

You’re manipulating my feelings. Ever make it forgivable? Okay, let’s get things straight. Second was on a slab heartless, and that was on a need to know basis because of business reasons. And then he gets a heart, Jake’s heart. So what was the business reason for you trying to pull the plug? Could you please put that in context for me?

But Dave, you know what? Don’t worry because Rolf. Explained everything. The, the, the brainwashing, the plug pulling, the whole thing. And then he drug me, which I’m sure you knew about, didn’t you, Gabby? I was desperate. I was deeply in love with you. I, I didn’t wanna lose you. Okay. Well now because you, you’re a lying bastard with zero integrity.

You have lost me forever.

We need access to Dara’s records. Proof they financed Ralph’s experiments and his relocation in Indonesia. Okay, well, we’ll figure out as soon as we get the warrant. All right, just call me as soon as you get it. Thanks. Uh, the mirror, the mirror’s enough about liars cover up the truth and they don’t tell you what you need to know until people you love are gonna die.

You know, I’m really sorry for what you’re going through, and I wish to hell that there was something I could do. There is, I’m gonna arrest Kristen right now.

You want me to go? Don’t, don’t, don’t act surprise. You know, the only reason you were living here was because you were holding that orchid over my head. Now two women are dead and a third may not make it, and you lost the only thing that could save her life. So, yeah, I want you Al What about Rachel? How is she gonna feel when she comes home from school and I’m not here?

Kristen. Rachel, we’ll be fine cuz she’s, And she will eventually understand why you cannot be a part of her life. You know, who’s not okay? Is Marlena. Marlena, my dad’s wife, she’s in the I C U dying, fighting for her life. And I don’t want my dad coming through that door seeing your face as a widower. So get, get out of here.

Now. I have nowhere else to go. How in the hell is that my problem?

Look, I know what I did was wrong. Are you really that arrogant, that diluted, that you think you’re just gonna say, whoops, I, I made a mistake, and then all is forgiven, Gabby, you know damn well what it’s like to cross the line when it comes to love. You and I are the same. We’re not afraid to take drastic measures when something’s truly worth the.

And you were worth it. Stefan’s not like us. He gave up on you. And that’s something that I will never do. He didn’t give up, Lee. He was, he was brainwashed by you. He didn’t have a choice. If he loved you enough, no amount of brainwashing could have stopped him. Face it, Gabby. Stephan never loved you the way I do, and he never will.

You have every right to to be mad at me, to judge me harshly, but deep down, you know why I did it? Because you would’ve done it too, proving that we are the same. We belong together and you.

Oh, you

obviously, we all thought it was strange when Stephan started showing up at my door with flowers and wooing me , especially when we all thought he was. Well and how much in love he was with Gabby, and I wasn’t interested in him. I only had eyes for Brady, but then Brady walked out on me and he went back to Kristen, and then there was Stephan.

There was Stephan literally knocking on my door, treating me like I was the best thing that had ever happened to him,

and lying there next to him in Miami for the first time in a long time, I stopped hurting and I was happy. Even just that moment. And then Gabby comes crashing in and she ruins that too. Chloe, I am so sorry. This is is such a mess. But even though that I’m here for you, I know. Thanks for listening. Always enough about me.

How was your New Year’s? Oh, ah.

Con Stephan, I’m sorry.

One would hope that family loyalty would trump your burgeoning relationship with Wendy, but hey, what’s done is done Right kid.

Now, no. Excuse me.

Thank you, Johnny. It’s one thing for Stefan to believe you are involved in the coverup, but I’m his brother. And he’s boss, well kept the secret this long. No reason to let it out now.

He didn’t really seem to care. It’s like, bro, you know, I don’t know. Maybe a that’ll change with time. The, uh, shock of knowing the truth will wear off. Uh, you know what, that’s Allie. I gotta take this AFI about Grandma Marlina. Allie. Hey, well, what, what’s happening? I, I was just about to.

What

Kristen claims she doesn’t know who could have stolen New York. If she’s playing dumb, she knows more than she’s letting on. I’m sure it so go and haul her ass in there and get it out of her. Eric, I don’t have any basis. I know you blame me for what happened between me and Nicole. Eric, I’m sorry. I really.

But don’t let my mother suffer because you’re angry with me.

I’m so sorry about Kayla, and, and please, please, please don’t tell Tate about Marlene yet. Thank you, Teresa. I’ll talk to you soon.

You don’t need to do this. Rachel’s gonna need her mother more than ever. Right? Because, uh, she might lose her grandmother cuz of.

You have nothing to say. You know what? I don’t. I don’t know why I let you get away with this for as long as you did. I was really worried that if I confided in someone that you would let them die, and here we are happened anyway.

Maybe if I put the screws in you a little harder. In the beginning we would’ve had the orchid and Kate and Caleb might still be here. I don’t want you to blame yourself for this. I don’t. Kristin, I blame you. I’ve made that abundantly clear.

Tell Rachel I. Love her.

Are you, are you kidding me? You think I’m supposed to say no harm, no foul and bygones and all that? You’ve tried to kill the man that I loved Lee, and then, and then you married me. Knowing what you’ve done. And you just want me to ride off to the sunset with you? No, th that’s not exactly what I’m Okay, stop.

Because you’re, apparently, you’re not getting the hint, so I’m gonna be blunt. Get the hell out. I’ll kick you out Gabby.

Allie just finished talking to Brady. Apparently Kristin’s been hiding an orchid here in the mansion. What? Yeah. Yeah. Down in the secret passages for months. And now that it’s needed to make a serum for grandma, it’s missing. Of course. Kristin, what the hell have you done? Yeah, she, uh, she swears she doesn’t know where it is.

The clock is ticking, right? Grandma’s getting worse by the minute. Nobody knows how much longer she has. We need that serum like now , there’s gotta be a way we can make more of it, right? Maybe Dr. Wolf would know.

Yeah, I need to go see break right now.

Eric, I underst. That you are worried about your mother and not just worried. You are desperate to save her, and I feel terrible for what you are going through. But please, no more plan. Amateur detective, next time you come to me, excuse me, for trying to get medical help from my critically new mother. I will follow up on every lead, but right now you are wasting my.

So if you really want me to help your mother, the best thing that you can do right now is leave.

I spent New Year’s with ej. Nothing happened. Not really. Anyway, so Eric, he’s sleeping with Sloan Peterson. . What? Yeah, I know. It’s, it’s insane. And we’re fairly speaking to each other. I just wish I could reach out to him with everything that’s going on with his family. What do you mean? Oh, th that’s right.

You just got back. You haven’t heard about Kate and Kayla and Marlena. Wait, what’s going on? What’s happening with them? Oh, uh, hold that thought,

Brady. Hey, uh, what are you doing here?

Oh, hey man. I heard about . I’m so sorry if there’s anything that I can do. Yeah, I, I, uh, I, I just found out from my sister that she’s in desperate need of this medication that comes from a rare orchid. It’s gone missing, but it’s possible. Dr. Roth could make more, we’re actually looking for him regarding another case, but, It’s tough going.

I know that’s why I came. Your search is over. I know where he is.

Can I talk to you alone? Alone? If, if, Yes, Freddie. Actually, I was, I was just leaving. Oh, Chloe, listen. Call me anytime. Okay? I mean it.

So, Brady, what do you want? I, uh, wanted to tell you the reason why I broke up with you. It had nothing to do with Rachel. Kristen had forced me to do it.

Christ, what the hell are you doing here? What the hell does it look like? I’m coming home.

Due to increases in the overseas third quarter market contraction, the commodities markets took a tumble finishing up only 10 points above last year’s market record low with treasury bills becoming more in demand due to European volatility, the Treasury Department has suspended trading on 10 year T-bills until opening up trading.

So that interest rates. Serena

Serena’s seven 20 and you’re not here, can you please call me and let me know that you’re on your way? I’ve left checks for the girls’ new school uniforms on the table and the new backpacks from the front hall closet. Alright, thank you Harry. Caitlin. Girls have a wake up. Come on, wake up. Um, it’s summer.

Ah, I know, but Serena’s late and I have an early work meeting, so I’m gonna have to drop you off at Daddy’s, but it’s not Daddy’s weekend. Yes, I know, but I have a breakfast meeting.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Jeez. Can this guy take a hint?

Sorry, Chad, my man. You aren’t interrupting us this time. Uh, Steph, it’s Chad. You, um, you gotta get to the hospital right away. It’s your mom.

Come on Steph. You don’t have much.

Thank

How you? I just went 10 rounds with a Leo. Oh, you look very beautiful to me.

You know, nothing should surprise us about Kristen, but I can’t believe that she would knowingly put three people’s lives at risk because of her obsession with Brady. Don’t worry about Kristen. Okay. What I need you to do is focus all your energy on beating this thing, getting better. I wish I had your.

If we don’t get a hold of that orchid, Sue,

don’t say it. Look at me

please.

You need to keep the faith we have.

So Breeze searching for the orchid. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, he’s out there right now with a couple of black patch investigators.

It’s already thought that maybe Kristen is lying. Is the A being stolen? I wouldn’t put that pastor, you know, doc, as a general rule, I don’t put anything past Kristen, but I think she’s on the time.

Have to hope to find it before it’s too late.

You’s got, you’ve done everything medically possible Do. She’s gone. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. She’s God. The hope

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

She looks like she’s,

we just founded a way back to each. We were gonna get a ride. We were gonna get a ride.

I’ll give you two. A moment alone.

Hey Dan. Yeah, I just wanna say that she, Mom told me many times how happy you made her. She loved you very much.

Baby.

How many times have we overcome obstacles that we didn’t think were possible to overcome all these years? How did we do that? Huh? I’ll tell you our love.

Do I need to remind you the power of our love?

No, you don’t.

Listen,

I need you to go take that. Kate baby. They have each other. I’m not gonna leave your side. Look, I’m fine. I’m, I’m, I’m really stable and I, I, I have my, uh, I have my trusty call button. Finding anything. No, but Kate, Kate, listen to me. Cake was worse than me. And I just, I just need you to go check on my brother and check on her and make sure they’re okay.

Please, please,

come on. Okay. If that’s what you.

This guy is relentless.

Sorry buddy. Not tonight.

Oh, worth the wait.

Definitely.

Doc, I have a theory. About who could have taken an or

who, who it, who. But the thing in.

You think Orpheus has the orchid, Doug? His reach goes far beyond prison bars. You could easily have had someone do it for him. Looks to me like it. Taking a trip to stay soon. No, no, no, no. I don’t feel comfortable believing you like this, . Come on. Eric is here if I need anything.

All right. I can take a quick run up there. Only if you’re sure that be okay till I him back. I will be fine. I will. Hang on. You

give strength.

I love you.

Forget it. I’ll come back later. Don’t leave on my account.

Was that your lovely mother I saw here earlier? I’d watch what you say about my mother. What? I’m just about to pay her a compliment. I gotta say Kate Usher looking well. No thanks to you. Excuse me. I know all about it. I know how you tried to kill my mom and her friends, Kayla and Marlena. Alright, take it easy.

You know there’s another way of looking at this. Even if I had, for the sake of argument, poisoned kitty cat, Kate, obviously it didn’t take, your mother is still alive. Like I say, well,

oh my love.

Oh, I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time. When are you from far? I am so sorry, Katie. I am so sorry that

I waited so long. To tell you how I felt, and I am so sorry that I couldn’t protect you

from Morpheus and Kristen. I hope that they just suffer in help forever for they did to you.

Okay. I love you so much. I loved you so much, and I will, I will forever. You will be in my heart and in my soul every minute of every day for the rest of my life. Oh my God, I, I will miss you so much. I will miss you so much.

Hey, man. Um, it’s my, it’s my mom. She, uh, She’s gone.

What’s wrong? Oh. If you’re worried about protection, don’t be Is this time, oh, I came prepared. Wow. Mm-hmm. . Well then that makes two of us. So it’s not the protection. What’s the problem?

I just really wanna make sure that you’re ready. I am definitely, are you Stephanie Johnson? I have been ready since the first moment I set eyes on you in the square.

I guess that’s. I guess so

a good check on Roman. I gotta go give my brothers and sisters a call, so thanks. Just take care of dad.

Chad, I’m so sorry, buddy. I know Kate loved you, loved you so much. She was always there for me. Were you able to reach Stephanie? I called her several times. I left messages. I, I haven’t been able to, to, to, she hasn’t called me back. No. I need her here. You go be with Roman and um, I’ll go find her. Do you even know where she is?

I think I have an idea. Yeah. Like, don’t worry, I’ll get her here.

Come in.

Hey, I had a puppy send over some chicken noodle soup for you. Thanks. I’ll try to get some down a little later on.

How are you feeling?

I’m better now that you’re here. But I’m worried.

Riley, I know you took Kristen’s daughter

and we all know how volatile she can be when she’s provoked, and wondering if you thought about that.

No. Maybe I should have, I guess. You know, was anybody that, that’s like playing with fire. I know. Okay. You know what? You’re right as always, and I know I should have be, especially since you have more experience dealing with psychopaths than anyone in this town. Hmm, you bet. And speaking of people that are unbalanced, John went to Statesville.

See? Yeah, he told me. Hopefully he has better luck getting through that am bastard about telling us where the orchid is than I had with Kristen.

You better be glad they found that serum in time to save my mom and her friends. And what was the drunken black sheep of the Horton family gonna do if they hadn? Pee on my shoes, like the pathetic wino. You are wino. Hey, knock it off. Just relax. Just having a bit of fun with Bill Horton’s bastard. Screw you.

En relax. Not with not worth it. John, what are you doing here? Well, isn’t it obvious he came to see his ex son-in-law, the Booz Hound, who kidnapped his stepdaughter? You know, John, I, I get that you’re applying for sainthood, but I gotta figure the man upstairs will cut you some slack if you let the village idiot rot in here.

Figure you got it wrong again, Mylo not here for Lucas, in your view.

Hey Roman, buddy. Hey, I’m so sorry.

You know, Kate and I had our differences. I know one thing we had in common was our love and respect for you. I know how good you two were for each other. I know how happy she made you. She did. Yeah, she did. I hope I made her happy too. Of course she’s okay. She’s hanging in there. Steve, she’s gotta make it.

I’m praying for her. And Mar and I know Katie would be doing the very same.

You’re here for me. Well hot. Color me both surprised and flattered to what do I owe this unexpected? Cut the crap. Well, you got the orchid. Where is it? The orchid. I don’t have it, John. Nor do I have the foggiest idea where it might be. You need another orchid? Why? What’s going on? Your mother, Kayla, and doctor sick again.

Apparently they needed additional shots from the original antigo, but the organ needed for the serum has come up missing. I gotta go to the corner. Wow. Well, I guess Christmas came late around here because you, John Black are definitely the bearer of good tidings.

You feeling any better? Hmm, that’s enough. I’m, I’m feeling about the same as the last. 10 times you asked me in the last 20 times, John asked me,

I wanna talk about you and your life. I wanna know what’s happened since, since the love of my life convinced the mother of my unborn child to have an abortion. Oh, Eric, I know. I know. That’s not exactly the trees. Jane insists that not going through the pregnancy was her decision, and somehow you’re blaming Nicole.

I just wish she hadn’t gotten involved after all. Well, and then what you’ve been doing is getting involved with. Bar room bras and planning kid nuggets. No crawling. I know how much you wanna have a family, and I, I know that you will have, I promise you, I just, I don’t want what’s happening with these two women in your life.

To that beautiful golden heart of yours,

I,

hello. Yeah. Alex have the charges. Rex Lucas. I just saw John Lucas. Hey, um, I was just gonna call you Ja. John told me Mom’s sick again. What’s going on, Lucas? Stop. Listen please. I wish that I had better news and I wish to, I didn’t have to tell you this over the phone. Tell me what, over the phone, what’s going on?

It’s mom.

She’s.

Ask Kate.

What? I’m sorry baby. I’m so sorry. Oh, oh my, my brother and uh, and he children and Steve. Yeah. I need to see our kids we’re, Stephanie, Chad went to find, he’s pretty

Okay.

Steph, look, it’s Chad. I’m, I’m at the square right now. I’m at, and uh, I thought that you and Alex would be at the bistro.

Look, I, I, I didn’t wanna have to leave this voicemail, but I, I, I can’t find you anywhere and you’re not picking up the phone.

Kate’s dead. Oh. Just a little while ago. And your mom is really sick. So I need you to call me back, or I need you to get to the hospital right away. Okay.

My beautiful sister.

I am so sorry about it. Listen, I’m gonna go outside and make some calls, see if I can reach Jill and Trip, okay?

I asked Stu, Steve call her kids. I need to see them. I’ll see my brother. I’m so glad you’re here. So my heart just goes out for you. Lucy, Kate, I, I know how much you loved her. She made it easy. Not always. You’ve heard about that? Not always, but you know what, sis? Just time around. Let’s time around. Katie and I, we were able.

To appreciate each other more than ever, not take each other God. And I’m so grateful for that. And that our son was there with us, has been just been such a comfort. He’s gotta get through this because he has you as.

Well, I know about that, but what I do know, Kay, you couldn’t beat us,

Kay. I just lost my wife. I’ll be to him if I lose my baby sister too.

Do you understand him?

So let me get this straight. Kristen used the orchid to blackmail your dimmed son into playing house with her under your roof. And then she couldn’t even produce the damn thing because you saw from the Dard mansion where she had it hidden bastar. What is your problem? I’m gonna kill you. I’m gonna kill you.

Just like you kill my mother. Kate Crisis Sock DirectX is gone. She’s gone. And I’m gonna make you bang. Look at dirty. Hey. Not, not here. You saw that right? This attacked me not lawn. You are lawn horn. You wanna spend time with solitary? Hey, just take it easy on me. Just find out he lost his mother. I’m sorry, Katie.

I’m sorry man. I’m sorry. Can’t It’s ok. You try to get a chance and get a chance to say goodbye. No, no, no. Listen to me. She knew how much you loved you and I know for a fact how much she loved you, her kids, her grandkids, most important element in her life. Hold onto that. Okay? Alright. Now listen, I hate to leave you like this, but I’ve gotta get the doc.

Tell, I’m praying for I will. We’ll take care of yourself. You’re getting stay away from him.

How you feeling? More relaxed than I felt in a long, long time. , how’s that ankle? Mm, it’s worth a risk of re-injury.

Seth, Alex. Whoa. Should do it. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. What the hell are you doing in here? He, Henderson. Henderson, let me in. I, uh, Stephanie, I’ve been calling you, you, you’re not answering your phone. I, I, I didn’t get any calls. Yeah, we’re a little busy doing something. Chad, what could be so urgent that you to track me down here?

It’s, um, your mom. She’s in the hospital. She relapsed. What? What do you mean she relapsed? It seems that, that she and Marlena and Kate all needed more than just the original dose of the cure. It’s bad. Kate didn’t make it. I, I have to go to my mouth.

I can’t believe this man. I’m, what’s terrible about Kate? Just hoping Kela can pull through. I hope to God she does. I just wish I could have reached Stephanie sooner. I’ll meet you guys downstairs.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

right. I have jam a meal, ginger and peppermint. Ah, I wasn’t sure what you liked . Thanks Chav. But you didn’t know what to go to all that trouble. Are you kidding me? It’s the least I could do. Considering you spent the entire day I skating with me and the kids. You know, I was coming down the stairs. I heard Thomas tell Jack that today was lit.

Oh my God. Where do you learn? What do you mean? Where did he learn that? When you have a dad as cool as me, you know, you pick up a few things. . Oh, well for the record, I also thought today was lit.

Yeah, me too.

I’m thinking maybe we should get you to a hospital. What now? What? And tell them that I sne. You heard Rex? Yes, I did. He said that my test results could mean that I’m relapsing, but they also might mean nothing. Yeah. And hopefully that’s the case, but I don’t want to take you to chances, so come on, let’s go get you checked out.

No, I don’t want to. I wanna stay here with my darling husband and have dinner. In fact, maybe you could make us some charter. I think that’s exactly what the doctor would order.

So what are you saying these blood test results mean? It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re relapsing. Look, I know that you are trying to be optimistic, but there’s no denying these numbers. Kate, in my m i results were almost identical last fall, but, but the rate of decline is vastly acceler. What does that mean?

That means that Kate and I might be in trouble. I suspect that Marlay is too,

oh God, to think I trusted in your loyalty. You don’t know the meaning of the word loyalty. Come on God, just because I have a little compassion for the woman. Compassion. Compassion for a sociopath and disregard for your wife. No, no, no, no, no. Not true at all. I just think you’re being a little unfair here.

Unfair. Kristin is an evil lying bitch, and you take her word over mine. Do you know how that makes me feel? You know that I feel. I feel so utterly, utterly betrayed.

Really? Oh, I’m sorry sweetheart. I, I guess I just got caught up in the moment. Yeah, it’s, it’s okay. It’s okay. That’s why we’re rehearsing here. We wanna make this fight look as real as possible here. It’s the only way I’m gonna get Kristen to trust. Yes. And as soon as you do, I hope you can find out what she has over Brady.

I don’t understand. The arch is right here. I I, I just checked on it the other day. Stop, stop, stop. Stop lying. I’m not lying. Brady, somebody took it. This is another one of your tricks, isn’t it? No. No it isn’t. And you have to believe I’m done. I’m, oh, I’m. You understand? I don’t you find that damn flower right now, or you’ll never, never see Rachel again.

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

What? You took a video of me falling on the ice. Yep. The total wipe out. I mean, your other fault we’re good, but this one was just epic and I promised the kids I would send it to them. No, no, no, no, no, no. You can’t do that because then they will use it against me forever. I don’t care. I’m sending it. Oh.

What’s wrong? Ah, just my ankle. You think it’s sprained? No, no, it’s just sore. It’s been a long time since I’ve skated. Uh, cool. Let me have it, what, get up here. I’ll massage it. You don’t have to do that. No, I want to. I want to. And, and then maybe you can, um, accidentally delete that video. Okay, maybe. Come on.

We’ll see how good your healing powers are. Careful.

So I don’t suppose you have any more of that serum. We only had one Viler begin with the lab, used some for their analysis, and then they administered the doses and there was just a little bit left. Not enough to cure one person, let alone three. We can’t be reproduced only with the orchid that we made it.

Okay, so we’re in the same boat as before. No, no. We’re at the mercy of whoever delivered that serum the first time around. No, because we are not gonna just sit around and wait for a miracle. We are gonna find some other viable treatment and we need to warn Kate and Marlene. I’m glad we put our plan on hold over the holidays.

I don’t like fighting with you, even if it is. I’m right with you, sweetheart. Well, let me tell you something. If this works, we may finally get Kristen out of Brady’s life. Good? Yeah. Hold on.

Hey, happy New Year, Eric. I you, Hey. Looks like you had a champagne incident. Ah, yes. Don’t like that. I’m sorry for popping your mic. This, but No, no, no. What, what brings you by? Um, I’m looking for Brady. Uh, can’t help you. We just got home from the in and he wasn’t here. By the way, thank you for volunteering to watch Rachel.

For us, it gave us a chance to have a love night on one . Yeah. I’m glad you enjoyed it. But to be honest, I had an ulterior motive. What does that mean? It gave me a chance to kidnap.

You quit playing games with me, okay? I am not. I’m not. Why would I do that? When you are threatening to take my child from me, which by the way, is a despicable heart listening to do. Are you kidding me? You’ve been holding Marlene’s life over my head for the, for the last couple months and Kate’s and Cas.

Yeah. Well, Rachel is an innocent little girl. Rachel, didn’t you think, didn’t you think I wanted to bring my little daughter? No, I did not. But you gave me no choice. Gimme the flower. Gimme the, give me the flowers. I can’t for last chance. Brady. Brady, I can’t. As you complain, you can. It’s not Kristen. Don’t will tell Rachel that you said goodbye.

No, Brady, please. You can’t do that. No,

I swear to you. I swear to you on Rachel’s life that I’m telling the truth. Someone stole the orchid police.

How does that feel? Pretty good actually. You really know what you’re doing. . I dated a physical therapist for a few weeks. It, uh, obviously didn’t work out, but. She taught me a thing or two. Clearly, my ankle feels better already. Glad I could help.

It’s Alex.

Hey. Hey. I didn’t think you’d pick up. Are you still mad at me? No, we’re good. Well good. That makes me happy. You know, I just wanted to call and apologize for being such a jerk earlier. I just keep getting this feeling that Chad keeps trying to find ways to spend time with you and I, anyway, it is behind us now.

I apologize and I hope we can just move forward. Already done. Good. So tonight you want to grab some dinner? Maybe I can pick you up at your. That’s okay. I’ll meet you somewhere. Okay. How about the bistro? The bistro? Perfect. See you soon.

Heading out, Alex and I are gonna grab dinner, but thank you for the massage and for today. It was, um, it was really fun. Yeah, anytime.

Who will steal the or, I don’t know. I really, I don’t know. There is a full house upstairs and any one of them could have wandered down here and taken the, or Kristin and Kristen, you, you, you had, you took the one thing that could, that could save Marlena and Kates and Kayla’s life, and you left it in an area where an army of people would have access to it.

How could you be that careless about someone? I, I, I. They are not supposed to. They’re not supposed Who? Who’s not supposed to what? Look, ej he, he decided to secure the tunnels after Leo Stark set up camp down here and, and the construction has been going on at since last fall. Yeah. I can tell. I can tell there’s construction going on.

Yeah. When I came down here, what is your point with all that? I just figured everyone would stay clear until the construction was done. Wow. Figured wrong because usually with construction, there’s a construction team that you know is around all the time while the construction is going on. He’s to you.

There’s some guy with a hard hat who has the orchid. He probably gave it to his wife, Kristin. No, no, no. It’s here. It has to be here, Brady. No, it look it. I know I’m sure. To somewhere in this house. For your sake. For your sake, hope to God it is

you. Kidnapped our granddaughter. You’re messing with me, right? No, Rachel is safe. She’s, she’s here in Salem and she thinks she’s having a fun adventure in Salem with who? She’s with a friend who’s completely trustworthy. Did Brady sign off on this? I, I wouldn’t have done it if he hadn’t. I promise you, mom, nothing happened or will happen that will ever bring trauma to her at all.

And this is all an act just for Kristen’s benefit. Oh. Why that Flying around? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But to involve her kid Rachel is fine. I believe that it’s just that something like this could push Kristen off the deep end. Absolutely. Much as I dislike that terrible woman, any mother being made to believe their child had been abducted mom, it’s the only way we can neutralize.

She’s been blackmailing Brady for months. She demanded that he break it with Chloe and forced him to move her in here. I knew it. I knew it all along. What in the world does she have over him? Your life?

Thanks, Kate here. Yeah, I will. Uh, I’ll tell her. I love you too. Bye. So I guess that’s not good news. Kayla’s test results were almost identical to yours,

so I guess we’re relapsing together.

Could you pass me the pepper? The pepper is next to the salt. This is bland. You’re gonna have to talk to your cook about that. Hey, this is serious. Yes, I know. I, I, I know it’s serious. I know that I’m getting sick again, and I know last time I almost died, but I didn’t, and I don’t intend to die this time either.

So just pass me the pepper and let me enjoy my dinner.

Roman is going to break the news to Kate and hopefully he’ll be able to convince her to come in for more tests. Yeah. Somebody tells me my mom’s gonna put up a fight. Oh, you know Roman will fight too. Yeah. Um, I should, I should call

Kayla. Kayla. Hi.

So, okay. No, no one is here except for Harold. And he hadn’t seen the orchid anywhere in the house. He said that, uh, no one’s been in the tunnel since the construction started. He’s sure about that. Positive. Positive. Now, we were all warned to stay away because of the toxic dust and all the other serious hazards.

And he said, um, the, the foreman, he ran a very tight ship. Mm-hmm. , uh, none of his, his workers would ever steal anything, especially from the Demaris. Well, you know what, Kristin, that, that brings everything back to you. For the last time, Brady, I did not move the, or maybe you got rid of it. And why would I do that?

Don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe, maybe outta spite. How about that? Oh, oh, really? So if, if I destroyed the flower, I wouldn’t have leverage over you and you know that I would never give that up. And besides, I don’t really want Marlene and the others to die. Well now they might. Then Mike, Kristen, because of your carelessness.

I’m sorry. And your selfishness. Okay. And your I’m Soutter Insanity about I’m thing. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I really didn’t want any of this to happen. Well, here we are, and if anything happens to those three women, their blood is gonna be on your hands.

So Christian’s the one that provided the. Only after Brady agreed to dump Chloe. You know, we’ve always known that she was manipulative, but I never believed she’d even go this far. You know, doc, I had these very suspicions months ago. Do you remember when I caught Brady going through Kristen’s things? Yes.

You thought he was looking for the serum. I was wondering if she got it from Rolf and was using it to blackmail Brady. That doesn’t make any sense because once we were all cured, Brady didn’t go back to Chloe. No, he bought Kristen here to stay with us. Why would he do that if the threat to us was over?

According to Christian, it’s not

claims that all three of you, you woman, are gonna need second shine and possibly a booster. What? She won’t, she won’t turn over the orchid that we need to make the serum unless Brady keeps doing what she wants. Oh God, I don’t have more shots. Oh, you, you feel you’ve been feeling okay? Haven’t Johnny?

Yeah, dog. Oh, excuse me, ma’am. Oh, excuse me. Goodness. I’m so sorry.

How you feeling? better. I just, I just got so dizzy all of a sudden. Yeah. Thank you.

You know what? You’re burning up. You have a fever. We need to admit you immediately. No, I have so much work to catch up on. I, I, I have messages to return. I’ve got charts to review. I cannot, all the people you care about would want you to take care of yourself. I cannot believe this is happening again. I don’t want you to worry baby.

Listen, we’re gonna beat this thing just like we did last time. There’s no doubt in my mind,

Hey, to beat this, you need to be in a place where they can do everything possible to make sure it doesn’t get worse now. No. What do you mean? No? No. I mean, no. I mean, I can’t go through that again. All right. The, the, the weeding and the fear and the, the wondering what’s gonna happen because that’s my idea of hell Roman.

I refuse to do it.

I can’t do that. Katie. Okay, I get that. Alright, I get that. It’s hard. Really hard. And I’m gonna be here with you and I will be with you every step of the way, as will your son and the entire team at university. And when we get you there, they’ll be able to monitor. You’re not listening. I will not go to that hospital.

Is everything okay? Chad? I’m glad you here. Maybe you can talk some sense into this one. What’s going on? Nothing. The virus at Orpheus infected her wrist is back. What? Okay. If she needs to get to a hospital as soon as possible, don’t you agree? It doesn’t matter if he agrees, okay, I’m not doing it. I’m not going to the hospital.

End of conversation. Okay, wait.

I’m sorry about the bistro. I had no idea that they were close for renovations. That’s okay. I, uh, I actually prefer what we scrounged up in the kitchen. A little grilled cheese and tomato soup. Yeah, it’s a classic. It is a classic. Especially on a cold night like this. Hmm. Stephanie? Um, . I just wanted to apologize for the way I was earlier.

I hate the way I acted. Jealous, insecure, territorial. I’m not that guy. Well, at least I wasn’t that guy until I met you,

Alex, I promise you have no reason to feel threatened by. Like I keep saying, we are just friends. Friends who almost hooked up not too long ago, but we didn’t, I was worried about my mom’s illness and he was still craving his wife. You know, he is gonna be ready to move on at some point maybe, but that has no bearing on our relationship.

I am with you, not Sha,

when are you gonna get that through your

Oh

hmm. . Okay. Key. Can you hear me? Key. She has a pulse part week. I need to call an ambulance. I’m not waiting. I’m gonna take her to the hospital right now. Call my sister. Tell ’em we’re coming. Okay. Hey,

come on. But yet, could you just hand me my tablet over there? I might as well do some research if I’m stuck here. Okay. Oh, don’t think you should try to relax. No, it’s not. There is someone out there who may have found a different way to treat this disease, and I’m gonna find out who that is. Oh, sorry, Chad.

Hi, Chad, everything okay? Uh, no. No it isn’t. Um, uh, I’m at the pub and Kate just passed out. Roman told me to let you know that they’re on their way to the hospital now. Okay. Okay. We’ll be ready for her.

Uh, I’m sorry I tell you this, but your mom passed out of the pub and your dad’s bringing her in. Okay. Um, I’ll meet them downstairs.

You need a calm lady,

sweetheart. That’s, that’s the second time you sneeze today. Oh, okay. It’s probably nothing dying. Yeah. Do you think that Christian was lying when she said that everybody would need additional doses? Brady doesn’t think so, but he wasn’t willing to chance it. Brady, he’s sacrificed so much giving up the woman that he.

How could Kristen be so cruel? Why didn’t Brady just tell us what Kristen was holding over him? Because it was part of the terms. Brady didn’t keep quiet. She was gonna destroy the orchid who told me in the moment of frustration. So it was your idea to force her hand for Brady to tell her that she will never see her daughter again unless she forks over that.

It should be Richard and or as her feet. Oh man, I dunno about this here. Kristin’s such a, a loose cannon between this whole blackmail thing blowing up in her face and being rested for brainwashing her brother here. The walls are closing in. This whole damn thing can go sideways in a hurry. Hey, we’re gonna find out soon enough.

What happened?

Where’s he working? It’s gone.

This is nice being on the ice all day, even in the sun. I was freezing. Mm. I’m glad I could warm you up.

It’s gotta be. At least 10 below out there kind of dreading going home.

So don’t

stay the night. I mean, if you want to, of course there’s no pressure

actually. I really like that.

Listen, you have got to go call John in Marlena. Okay? I will in a minute. I just wanna make sure you’re okay first. I am fine. Now it just makes me so angry that even from behind bars, Orpheus is still wreaking. Hav on our life. Don’t say his. Listen to me. We’re gonna figure this out. I promise you. Listen, I am all for optimism, but we need to be realistic.

We survived last time because we got lucky. Someone anonymously dropped off the serum. I wish I could find out that who that person was. Yeah, I dropped the ball on that one. I was just so happy that the three of you were okay. You cannot blame yourself. We were all just so relieved that that nightmare was over.

Well, let’s just hope that whoever it was gone through for us, again,

we searched the. Damn house in the orchid, isn’t there? Well, maybe it wasn’t there in the first place. Maybe she has it hidden somewhere else. She says that she doesn’t. Yeah, right. Okay. I don’t know what happened to it, I swear. And why should we believe you? Because your son threatened to take off with Rachel and I wasn’t willing to risk losing her.

We didn’t have any problem risking the lives of three women to give what you wanted. You didn’t have any problem taking. Marlena, Kate and Kayla’s kids away from them. You know why that is? Cause you’re still a monster. You as twisted and s Okay, John, I mean, you have quickly just turned on me. I’m guessing that, uh, Brady and Eric aren’t the only ones who are, who are putting on a show you.

It’s obvious that you are the one who took my daughter. Yeah, I know that Brady arranged for you to be with her that night. You did it. You. Or a bunch of liars. You have no right to the moral high ground. Do you know what Marlena? All I’m doing is trying to get my family back. He never tried to take Rachel away from you.

He tried to be reasonable about the custody. But you know what? There’s no reasoning with you because you are deranged and you are pathetic. Kristin, what the hell? After all these years, you’re still coming after my family. And now you have put your own daughter in the direct line of fire. No, no, no, I didn’t.

Mother, son, you sit free, drink goodbye to for a. If we really lost that orchid, little Rachel could lose her grandmother. How do you think that’s gonna make her feel when she finds out that you were responsible for that? She’s not only endangered the lives of three women, you caused your daughter so much pain.

You traumatized her to know him that. That wasn’t enough. Only cause of your damn sick obsession with my son.

Maybe. Maybe we’re enough. Maybe. We’ll, we’ll find, we’ll, we’ll, we’ll find out. There’s all this stuff. I mean, maybe we’ll find the orchid. I What if we don’t, I don’t know. What if we don’t? What’s the plan then? What if the symptoms come back? Steve? Hey partner. Where do I feel you on what’s going on here? Hey.

Is Marlena feeling okay? And she’s fine. Why? I have some bad news.

Oh, Rex Mom. Hey, hey. How you feeling? I didn’t wanna go to the hospital. I know, I know. I’m sorry For whatever it’s worth. We took a vote when you were on the floor of the pub and you lost.

It’s bad, isn’t it? I am just glad that you are here.

It’s so strange. I felt fine. Seems like a moment ago, and now I wake up here. I feel so weak. It’s happening faster this time. Just rest. Okay, just rest. I’m gonna take good care of you.

Will you do me a favor? Anything?

Don’t lemme die here.

Babe, is your leg okay? Uh, yeah. It’s just my ankle. It’s been a long time since I’ve skated. Oh, well, I can massage it for you. Oh, that’s okay. Chad, already, Chad gave you a massage. Okay. It wasn’t like that. I swear. Okay. Okay. Okay. I’m not jealous at all. I just don’t want to spoil the mood. Oh, is this how I get you to behave?

Hmm. It’s promise of sex. Well, I prefer to think of it as making. Love . Hey, now you definitely spoiled the mood. Just stop. Roger that

sweetheart. We’re gonna need to get you to the hospital, honey. It was a couple of us knees. I’ll be fine. Steve said Caden. Caleb were fine too, right before they passed down. Ju just let me at least get you off your feet. Okay? Honey, please just do this for me, please. Sure. Okay, I’ll lie down. Okay? Yeah, come on.

Uh, if you hadn’t been playing your games, the doctors could have found a cure by now. And if anything happens, Kate or Kayla and they don’t make it, that’s on you and Amy. That’s just not my invention. I I, I was planning to turn the orchid over at the first sign of any symptoms

We need to find that way. Yes, and I do wanna find that orchid as well, but guess. There is a, uh, pressing matter at hand. Really? What’s that? I want my daughter back now.

My sister had the orchid the whole time. Yeah. But according to John, it’s gone. So Kristen knew that Kate and the others would need another dose and didn’t say a word. If she’d have given us that damn flower at the start, we’d be in the clear. What the hell is wrong with her? Well, apparently she’s using the orchid to control Brady.

In other words, playing games with people’s lives. Yeah, and that means that the women we love could pay the price. Mom, I know you do not want to be here, but this is the best possible place for you right now without an attitude. Look. Doing research. We’re talking to experts. We’re doing everything in our power to find another cure.

I thought we were cured. I know with dad it only took one dose and I just assumed that. I’m sorry. I need to really, I’m so sorry. I need help. Please don’t do that. Don’t blame yourself. Is there anything else I can do for you? Besides let you go home

Call your siblings, tell them not to come. I

mom.

I feel so strange. Strange how? Mom? Mom, which crew? I know. Mom, can you hear me? Treat.

Hello? I love you.

You think could have stolen the orchid? For what reason? I, how the hell do I know? Kristen? I’m just asking you if it’s possible. Well, he’s halfway around the world. I don’t see how he.

Mommy. Oh my gosh, sweetheart. Oh gosh. Are you all right? Yeah, but I missed you. Oh, honey, I missed you too. I’m glad. So we couldn’t come home because you and daddy were sick. He told you that. Are you better now? Yes. Sweet. Yeah, your daddy and I are perfectly fine. Wish we could say that about everybody else.

Had to go break the news to Kayla about the orchid. Is there anything I can do to help? Actually, yeah, you could, uh, call Stephanie for. I’m sure she’s gonna want to be here for her mom. Absolutely. I’ll call her. I’ll call her right now.

I’m right.

So Kristen had the orchid all along and she lost. Oh, I’d like to throttle her right now. I’d like to do a lot worse. We’ll figure out a way to make her pay as soon as you’re all better. Did you find anything useful in here? No, nothing. I combed all through the research on this disease, any kind of other treatment, and there is nothing.

So without the orchid, we’re doing everything we can to find that right now. And in the meantime, unless some of that serum might show up, I just don’t know how long we go. Wait,

I’m scared, baby. The fight isn’t over yet. You can’t give up. You know what? You and Kate and Marlena are the strongest women I know. This disease doesn’t have a chance against. You’re all gonna be fine. I just know it.

All right, one more time. Claire. Oh god. Doctor, it’s time to car. No, no, no, no. Do it again. Try it again, Rex. Try it again. The more we can do. Time of death. 8 0 2. No, no. Don’t stop. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, dad.

Again, shh. Can this guy take a hit?

Sorry, Chad, my man. You aren’t interrupting us this time. Uh, Steph, it’s Chad. You, um, you gotta get to the hospital right away. It’s your mom.

Come on Steph. You don’t have much time.

Thank you. Here we go. Thank.

How you feeling? Sweetness. Look, I just went 10 rounds with a Ali. Oh, you look very beautiful to me. Always.

You know, nothing should surprise us about Kristen, but I can’t believe that she would knowingly put three people’s lives at risk because of her obsession with Brady. Don’t worry about Kristen. What I need you to do is focus all your energy on beating this thing, getting better. I wish I had your

What if we don’t get a hold of that orchid soon?

Don’t say it. Look at me.

You need to keep the faith we have to.

So breathe out. Searching for the orchid. Yeah. In fact, he’s out there right now with a couple of black patch investigators.

It’s already thought that maybe Christian is lying about the orchid being stolen. I wouldn’t put that pastor, you know, doc is a general rule. I don’t put anything past Kristen, but I think she’s on the level this time.

Have to hope to find it before it’s too late.

Damn. He’s got, you’ve done everything medically. Do more, do more, do more. She’s gone. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. She’s God

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

She looks like she’s,

we just founded a way back to each. We were gonna get a ride. We were gonna get a ride.

I’ll give you two. A moment alone.

Hey Dan. Yeah, I just wanna say that she, Mom told me many times how happy you made her. She loved you very much.

Baby.

How many times have we overcome obstacles that we didn’t think were possible to overcome all these years? How did we do that? Huh? I’ll tell you how. Our love.

Do I need to remind you the power of our love?

No, you don’t need to

listen.

I need you to go take that. Roman Kate, baby. They have each other. I’m not gonna leave your side. Look, I’m fine. I’m, I’m, I’m gonna be stable and I.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hot stone massage was exactly what I needed.

I think it was a good idea coming to the end for New Year’s E.

Something wrong. I’m reading a very disturbing message from Gray. You’re not even gonna believe what Kristen has done now,

my God. How can this be happening? Kristin? Just come and sit. I can’t sit Brady. I can barely breathe. I mean, whoever took her, why? Why haven’t they made a a ransom demand? Why haven’t they, why haven’t they told us what they need from us? We were told to wait for further instructions. We just need to be patient.

Patient.

Our daughter has been kidnapped to Brady. Okay? She should be hurt or worse after what we went through to be a family. Like we can’t lose her. And Brady we won’t. We won’t. Why are you so calm when you wait? How can you be so sure? How come Uncle Jar didn’t make me a try? Sarah, top sandwich. He didn’t even cut off my crust.

Are you not hungry, sweetheart? I don’t like chunky peanut butter. I can make you something else. After all, it’s not like I didn’t already aid in a bed enough. Felony against my will. What’d she say? I couldn’t. I just said, um, how about a grilled cheese sandwich? Would you like that? No. Thank you. Um, well, how about we watch Jurassic World?

I wanna go home.

I, I thought you were having. Well, I’m not now, but you the kid. Yeah. You and Sloan though. You were supposed to do a makeover. I don’t want a makeover. Come on. It’ll be so much fun. I wanna go. You hurt the kid, you know, like you can’t. Why not? Yes. Eric, why? Please explain to Rachel why she can’t go home.

You know, my New Year’s resolution is one of them anyway. What’s that? I’m to stop at the first bottle of champagne. Okay. We did have a lot to celebrate this year. No, I know that my look. Hey there. Hey, guess what? Good news, the prison is taking visitors again. So I’m going to go see Lucas this afternoon. Do you wanna come?

I, I would love to, but we have something very important we need to discuss. First,

I have your test results.

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

So, uh, I can see that I have elevated liver enzymes. Again, low uric acid. Mm-hmm. . And you remember last fall, those levels return to normal after you received the serum.

So does that mean that you think I’m relapsing? No. No, not necessarily. How are you feeling? Well, I mean, I feel fine except for a little hangover. So is there anything else that could cause abnormal results for teeth? Well, if you’ve been overindulging on eggnog, that would certainly affect your liver function , but I assume you do wanna run more tests.

You’re gonna show antibodies for this virus for the rest of your life, so we can’t test for reinfection. So what can we do? I wanna run identical tests on Kayla and Marlena and see if we get similar results.

Okay. What did Kristen do now? Oh, I’m not sure. Doc Brady says he thinks we ought to hang out here a little bit longer. Oh, well did he say. No, all he said was he had a pretty rough night because Kristen has been arrested for brainwashing her own brother.

I’m calm because I have to be. All right. Rachel needs us to keep clear heads here. Okay. But what, what, what can we do to find her? I, I mean, I know that we’re not supposed to get the cops involved, but there’s gotta be something that we can do expressing Chris and my dad is on the case. I’m in constant contact with him.

He’s chasing leads as we speak and, and Eric is looking for her as well. Sweet, sweet baby. I mean, she’s gotta be so scared. Kristen. What you are is exhausted. Okay. I think if you lied down for a couple minutes, you would wake up. We have some, no, I can’t. I can’t. I can’t even sit still. I know this is, I know it’s, I just, I love her.

I love that little girl so much. No, I really just couldn’t believe that this is happening again.

Well, you can’t go home right now, sweetheart, because. Well, because your mommy is sick and she doesn’t want you to get sick, then why can’t my daddy pick me up? Yes, Eric. Why can’t he? Because your daddy, he’s sick too. No, of course. Yay. Yay. That means they must have kissed on midnight. That’s how you attract germs.

You now. Yes, we do know that. Why don’t you take this plate and bring it into the kitchen now? Okay. I can. And grab a cookie while you’re in there. There’s some on the counter. I can,

I would. She’d be transmitting germs to me right now, but instead I’m stuck babysitting a stir crazy kid. Not that you gave me much choice in the matter. I’m sorry. I promise I’m gonna make it up to you. Yeah, you’d better if I get caught. I could be disbarred for this. Something. You’re not gonna get caught.

Well, I’m not as sure as you are. I mean, I need this to be over it today, Eric. Otherwise, you gotta come up with a new plan.

So, I mean, this isn’t really an emergency though, right? Because you, you took the blood samples on Christmas Eve and I still feel fine. Yeah, I mean, it’s, it’s definitely a reason to be optimistic. No doubt. But given what you went through, I just, I just wanna know what we’re dealing with. Yeah, we’d like to know that too, son.

Maybe give us, uh, some peace of mind. Hey. Hi. Hey, you too. Welcome home. Thank you. It’s good to be back. Yeah. Good to be back. Happy New Year everybody. Good to see you, Rex. Same here. Steve. Why does everybody look so serious? We have some news and it’s not good.

Drugging and, and brainwashing people. Will it ever stop? No one can only hope. You know what surprises me is that he was taking his odors from, from, from Lee and Christian. Yeah. Lee was at the helm of Dira and he and Kristen kind of share the same goal. Yes. But what was Kristen’s Motivat? Well, apparently she figures if Stephan pursues Chloe, that opens up a path for her and Brady as it cleans out.

She was right, Brady. It’s always about Brady. Everything she does ends up going back to her obsession with him.

Hey. Stop, stop. Stop. Kristen. Kristen, look at me. Look at me. Take a deep breath. No, I’m sorry. No, no, no, no, no. This is, this is a parent’s worst nightmare. No, it’s worse because I keep blaming myself. What? Why, what? Why about what you said last night. Maybe sh someone took her because they wanted to get back at me.

Do you think that’s the truth course? No, it was, it was a theory. All right. I, I shouldn’t have said anything. Oh my god. What? Sarah Horton? Sarah? Yes, yes, yes. She, she made that house call when Rachel was sick a few weeks ago and, and, and it was obvious that she felt a connection with our daughter. Still. No, never.

You’re grasping. No, it just makes sense, Brady. It makes total sense. And I bet you Xander helped. I’m gonna go over there right now. No, no. Hey, let’s look, look, leave me. No, you don’t need to do that. I will make some calls, I’ll make some inquiries. All right. But right now you need to get some rest. All right.

Please just go to bed, get under the covers and try to relax. No, buddy. No, no. I, I, I wanna be here. When you make those calls, I listen. You don’t need to be, you don’t need. As soon as I get some information that’s helpful, I will give it to you immediately, but right now you need to get some rest. I can see that Rachel would not want you getting sick over this.

Okay? Okay. I’m gonna try, try it. Go.

I know I’m asking a lot of you, but it won’t last much longer, the better not.

There she is. Did you take a cookie? Yes, I did. I took two . Great. I’m Lyric. Yeah. Can I please call mommy and daddy now? Well, they’re resting right now. Wait, I promise you can talk to him soon. In the meantime, how about that makeover? Hmm. gonna be fun, I promise. Should we? Okay. , why don’t you run to my bathroom, get my makeup bag, and you can pick out your three top favorite eyeshadow colors.

Okay. I hope you have purple. I’m sure I do.

You’re welcome. Thank you. Listen, I know I kind of tricked you into this. Tricked me. You lied to my face. You’re right. I’m, I can’t believe what a skilled liar had become. Well, you’re lucky that I’m madly attracted to you otherwise, that had turned you in already. Yeah. Well, you break client and attorney privileges.

Mm. Don’t push it. Promise I wont. I will. Call my brother and tell him that Rachel is homesick and we kind of need you to move to the next phase. Good idea. Hey, it’s Brady right here. Okay? Remember next face. Okay. Hey, Brady. Hey, how’s Rachel? Um, well, she is missing you. She’s a bit homesick. So I told her that mommy and daddy had colds.

Right. Hey, listen man, I know you wanted to, uh, keep this thing going a little longer to make sure the Kristen was desperate enough to fold, but to tell you the truth, I think sh I don’t think she’s gonna get any more d. She is right now. She’s coming up with these wacky theories that I have to pretend to investigate.

John and Marlena, they’re trying to stall them, but they’re gonna come home any second. That’s gonna complicate everything. I think we should pull the trigger on this and make the demand of Kristen. Now, I was about to say the same thing. Good. I’m glad we’re on the same page because the sooner we get this orchid, the sooner I can get my daughter back and we can put an end to this whole thing.

I assumed that one dose of the serum would keep the illness at bay forever, and it was a reasonable assumptions the way the virus acted with me all those years ago. Kind of a dad, your cure was different. It was derived from a rare species of orchid that’s now extinct. And a cure for Kayla and Mom and Marlena.

It was mysteriously dropped off at the police station in a vial. Damn. I should have tried harder to find out who our anonymous benefactor was. Oh, now look, we, we don’t need to panic. We don’t even know if anyone’s sick. Right. I think the first thing we do is I go to the hospital with Rex, we drop my blood and see what we find.

Okay. Um, we’ll put a rush on the labs. No, you know, better yet, let’s just do it ourselves. All right. Well, how long will that take? Uh, later today. Tomorrow, with the latest we’re about in my. You know what? Let’s just, let’s just give her a little time with John. You know, I mean, I mean, why worry her until we actually know what’s up?

John, you don’t suppose that Kristen had Ralph Brady, do you? No, no, no. Now, if Brady were brainwashed, he would be a lot more enthusiastic about having Kristen in our house. Like he’d be, uh, sleeping with her instead of like walking around with this dark cloud over his head. You have a point there. Yeah. He made it clear he broke up with Chloe, move Chris into our house because she didn’t give him a choice.

She’s holding something over his head.

You know, I almost feel bad about putting Kristen through all this. Hell, but I gotta keep reminding myself of why we’re doing it. Well, there couldn’t be any better reason than saving three women’s lives, right? If Kristen’s telling the truth about they’re needing another dose of that serum, and look, Eric, look, once we make the demand, For the orchid.

Kristen’s gonna know that it’s coming from me because I told her that I would never tell another soul. So I’m gonna have to be really careful about the way I break the news to her so she doesn’t go off the deep end. Isn’t she already there? Yeah. Yeah. But she can always go further. She can always get a little more cruel, a little more vindictive.

She’s gonna go nuts when she finds out that I was the one behind the kidnapping of Rachel. I gotta be really, really careful about finding the right moment to just drop the bomb on her. I think you just did.

Okay. I’m going to go see Lucas now and Rex can just go another time. I’ll drive you. No, you don’t need to drive me. I’m just, I’m fine. I’ll, I’ll call you as soon as I. Please do. Okay, Katie. I love you. I love you too. See you later. See? See ya.

So can I get you? No, I’ve kind of lost my appetite. Yeah. Sorry you had to come back to this. Yeah. Now Roman, I hate to think the. Good for these women to suffer through that horrible illness again. I mean, can’t let that happen, Steve. No, we can’t. Yeah.

You think you could do that for me? Yes. Yes, of course. You know, I’m just curious, what made you decide to run the test on your mom when she wasn’t exhibiting any symptoms? Honestly, I’m just checking boxes, submitting data to the FDA to show that the treatment’s still working. And how are you? Me? Yeah, you.

I hope that I didn’t fail my mom. Hope I didn’t fail. All three of you.

The only, we could figure out what Kristen is holding over Bray’s head. Mm-hmm. . And then we could get him out of this situation. We could get her out of our hole. Oh, please. Yeah. But you know, the, the real mystery is why we’ve been asked to stay here, you know, a little while longer to accommodate Christian.

What is that? Mm. Uh, you know, it’s not like it’s real hardship though. I mean, being alone with you like this on our little. Staycation. Mm. Yeah. A hardship at all. You know what I was thinking? Maybe you and I can make some real productive use of this time together. What do you think? I think that’s a idea. I love the way you think

she’s right here. I gotta go. I was hoping you’d be able to get some sleep. Yeah, I bet you were. Look, I don’t know what you overheard, Kristin. Oh no. Let me fill you in. What I heard was that my suffering, my being sick to death with worry about Rachel is all on your head. What the hell did you do with my daughter Brady?

So, Way on to the next phase. Brady’s telling Kristen as we speak and I’m sure she’ll be ever so understanding. She’ll undoubtedly understand that she’s been tricked and she’s living in the hell. We just need to hope that there’s no weapons in close proximity and all this will be worth it. Rachel time for the big reveal.

Wow. You look beautiful. Look at me. I am. You look gorgeous. I’s gonna get a Sloan a makeover. But she had a better idea. Yeah. And what’s that like? It’s your turn.

Answer me, damnit. Where is Rachel? Where is she? Rachel is fine. And where is she? I’m not telling you why. Why are you doing this? Brady? You really gave me no choice. I gave you no choice. I don’t know what the hell you talking about. Come on your devious little mind. Can’t figure this one out. I needed leverage on you, so I took Rachel and you are not gonna get her back until you hand over the.

Oh, baby. Oh my gosh. . Bless you. I’m so sorry, . It’s a real mood breaker. Isn it, I’m sorry. It’s a, it’s a, but Julia gets me every time. Oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait. You know what? Hold on. Hold on.

Here. I got that from the, what is it? Ba

Aphrodisia Paradise. . Come on. Let’s see. It’s up to its name. Oh, so what are you already angling for? Another massage. Is that it? Have you met me? Yeah. . Yeah. We roll over

A little there a little bit. No, no, no. Don’t look. Okay. You look kind of, you look kind of edgy and beautiful. Hmm. What do you think?

It’s not, not bad , but now it’s time for the lips. What are you gonna do with my lips? Oh, None these colors really suits you in Glas. No. Oops. Um, you know, listen, I’m really starting to agree with Rachel here. Oh no, don’t worry. It’s just gonna be a nice ENT slip. Balm. We got a little chap there. We just can’t have that.

Oh no. How crap. Oh yeah. Oh, this is beautiful. Uncle Eric. Oh, you can’t do this? Mm, I already have. She don’t give a damn, do you? The hell? You put me through the hell you put your daughter on. Rachel is fine and she’s in very good hands. Okay, well, whose hands? Who’s the other accomplice and who, who is on that phone?

Just. You’ll never know. Oh, you are never gonna get away with this. You think I put you through hell do you? What about the hell that you’ve been putting me through? Hmm. What about Chloe? Oh god, please. Chloe. Oh, I’m, she sure she is having a grand old time basking in the afterglow with her new adoring lover.

Watch it. Yeah, I’m sure they’re both undoubtedly on cloud nine right now. But you, Brady, you have screwed yourself big time because not only. Has your little slutty girlfriend moved on, but you’ve effectively lost your daughter? What? Yes. You think a judge is gonna let you have custody AF of Rachel after this stunt?

Except no judge is ever gonna know about this. The fact is, Chris in the bottom line is screwed yourself. When you decided to play with those three women’s lives, you put this all on yourself and you pushed me to do this. And if you wanna see Rachel ever get oh kiss. It’s very simple. You hand over the orchid to me, she comes home in a heartbeat.

But if you don’t, I promise you, you will never see her again.

I could stay like this with you forever. Nothing. I’d like more. Do you know what doc? My alarm’s going off. It’s time to go home. No. Can we, can we push back our checkout time? I already did that by an. Well, maybe we could do it for another hour.

That’s very tempting. But you and I, we need to get home and see if we can find a way to help out

back to the real world.

Sweetness, how you feeling? Uh, the same as I was 30 minutes ago. Rex is in the lab. He said that the test results should be back in minutes. I’m on my way. No, you, you don’t need to do that. I’ll be right there. Thank you.

Link and they give you a heart touch. AWS so nice. I’m gonna give daddy one minute. Get home. Your daddy will love it too. And I can give mommy a matching one. Your mommy could definitely use a heart. I’m excited about mommy and daddy. Well, we, we really don’t know what happened between them last night. I do.

They kissed for sure. And soon they’ll get married. Yeah. Well, I know that’s what you want, but Rachel, honey, why don’t you go wash the makeup off your hands, okay?

Really? You wanna get the kids hopes up about her parents? Yeah, I know that’s what you want, Rachel. I didn’t know what else to say. Well, I’m sure you could have come up with something. I mean, she’s gonna be in a world of heartbreaking when she finds out the. That her daddy hates her mommy, and they’ll never get married.

Look, my mother’s life is at stake, so is my stepmom’s and my aunt. So if this is what it takes to save them, not to mention getting Brady out from underneath her thumb that it’s all gonna be worth it. You won’t do it. You wouldn’t dare. It would break Rachel’s heart if you keep her from me. Then why don’t we just do this the easy way.

Just give me the orchid. Oh, right, right, right. And then you can just kick me out of the house. Go running back to Chloe if she’ll have you, which I doubt. I guess we’ll find out, won’t we? No, no. Brady, we won’t. You bring Rachel back to me or I’ll let those women die. Is that a chance you’re willing to do?

You don’t want to threaten me. I will threaten you right back. You go ahead and withhold that orchid, but you are never gonna see your kid again.

Is that a chance that you wanted to?

Let’s go.

Any chance to come up for air? Baby, I’ve been gone for weeks. I’ve, I’ve got a lot of catching up to do it. And, and if, if I’m gonna be outta commission again, I, if that’s even a possib. Is this how you want to be spending your time?

No. Come here.

Well, it’s the same abnormalities that were in Kate’s blood work. But you’re still feeling fine, aren’t you? Yeah, I feel fine right now, but

oh dear God. Oh, come on. So you sneeze. So, That doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Right? Um, that’s how the illness presented itself the first time in all three cases. What do you say in Rex? I hope that I’m wrong, but I But you’re not. We both know. You’re not. We both knowing it.

Hey, you. Hey. Any news? Kayla called Steve. What did she have to say? Well, she uh, said they should have the results soon. So Steve went to be with her and, uh, we should all know something sent. How’s Lucas? Wow. He.

Hopefully quiet in here. Well, maybe Brady persuaded Kristen to leave. He, uh, if only all, let me take these up. Sit right back. Thanks him.

Oh, oh darn. Massage oil. Okay. Where is everybody?

You kept the orchid here. Yeah. I mean, where else would I. I’ve heard of hiding things in plain sight, Kristen, but this is ridiculous. Who else is in on this? No one?

Well, where is it? Follow me.

Is that from. Did something happen? It is from Brady. You’ll be happy to hear. The Christian is apparently taking him to get the organ. So this is gonna be over today? Yes.

I believe I didn’t figure this one out. Figure what out. Anything. Everyone is always hidden in the Demara Secret room.

The orchid is right here,

right where, oh my God, it’s.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

luck tracking now, Rolf? So far every lead just brings us straight into another dead end. Okay, we’ll keep at it. We need to find this guy. We need to get him to admit what leash in did to Steph. Oh, almost forgot the messenger. Dropped us off for you.

Oh, everything okay? Yeah, it’s from my attorney,

my divorce papers.

You wanna divorce Sander? I don’t want to divorce him, but what choice do I have now that he’s done what he’s done and lied to me about it? Well, sir, I, I, I know how hurt you are, but is it, is it possible that, well, that you’re overreacting? Overreacting mom. He kidnapped two women and he committed multiple felonies in the process, and now one of those women is dead.

So if anything, I am Underreacting. Sarah’s telling everyone that Xander is the kidnapper. Who exactly do you mean by everybody? Okay. I may have rounded up. It’s not an exact figure. Well, can you give me an exact figure? Well, I just, oh, for God sake, Maddie, can you just tell me please, I need to understand who knows?

The first starter, Sarah’s mother. Maggie knows. And Bonnie. And Justin too. And believe me, they were not too happy about what Xander did.

What buddy? Okay. He’s just lucky I didn’t go. Thanks. Think. Hey, I’m the one who should be complaining. You got some rock hard abs dude. Are you done what hitting him for now? It’s a relief. This isn’t over, kiddo. We’re just getting started here. It’s what do I owe this bruising. Are you seriously gonna sit there and pretend you don’t know what you.

Sarah told us everything. Andrew. We know what you did to me and you are gonna pay for it. Now,

Steph, what’s going on? Why are you upset? I heard you talking to Chad just now telling him that he needed to back off because you and I are together. Okay? You heard that? I heard that. All right. Well I just thought, you know, it’s a workday and I didn’t think it was really appropriate of him to ask you to go to To what?

Stop by to see his friend take a few hours off to go to the park with his kids. Okay. Alright. Alright. I think there’s been a little bit of a misunderstanding. You’re damn right there has been. You have no right to tell me who I can’t and can’t see from not your property.

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

No, Steph, of course I do not think that you are my property. But you think it’s your right to tell Chad to stay away from me? That’s not what I was saying, babe. No, no. Then how would you describe that conversation? I would describe that conversation as Chad not being completely honest about his feelings for you, because he had romantic feelings for you before and I’m not sure he’s over.

Well, I am sure he has made it very clear that he’s not ready to be with anyone yet because he’s still in mourn. Ah. Yet he still finds ways to spend time with you. We work together. He shows up at Christmas with gifts for you. Then he asks you to go ice skating with him and his kids on Workday. He didn’t ask me.

Thomas and Charlotte ask me. Oh. Just like the gifts at Christmas were from the kids. Are you accusing Chad of using his kids to get close to me? No. No, no. Of course not, but I do think what he’s taking advantage of the situation.

You defending Xander to me. I’m not defending Xander’s actions, I’m just saying before you take such a drastic step like divorce, that you should consider the factors that drove Xander to such a terrible decision factors. So being in debt justifies kidnapping Two women. Oh, nothing justifies that, but I, I.

I believe that sand never meant to hurt either one of them, don’t you? I, I want to believe that honey, let them go, didn’t he? Not right away, but eventually, right? Oh, we should get him a medal. He didn’t intentionally hurt the two women he was holding against their will. What a hero. Sarah, I’m just trying to help you see that it doesn’t have to end if you don’t want it.

It’s not gonna be easy, but you can save your marriage. But like what kinda person am I if I condo that staying withand doesn’t mean that you condo it, it might as well No, I’m I, I’m a doctor. It is my job to help people. I mean, how can I be with someone who would put someone else’s life in danger? Like, Well, if you still love him, I’m not like you, mom.

I cannot live with myself if I am married to a man like Xander, I guess. Now I know why you didn’t wanna sue rednecks, right? Justin, let me explain. That would’ve been some interesting litigation. The plaintiff and the defendant being the same person. I can’t believe I actually tried to help you. I didn’t want to involve you.

You involve me when you kidnap my. And spent weeks lying about it. Xander, I never wanted Bonnie to be a part of all this. You had a funny way of showing it. It must have been so funny watching me trip all over myself thanking you and calling you my hero. You must have got a huge laugh out of how stupid I was.

Was not laughing at you. I promise. All I felt was a terrible guilt and shame. You should be ashamed. No, you should be proud of yourself. Is proud because you are a criminal mastermind. Might as well enjoy your handy work. Genius move, by the way, getting someone else to pretend to be the clown. Now, who was it?

Who was your accomplice? Tell me. Was it your good buddy, Gwen?

Sorry, boss. Stop. Not like I wasn’t expecting these still it’s, it’s not fun when they send you the papers. I’m actually the one that sent them 10, Nicole. She just signed them and sent them back. So that’s it. Then it’s basically done. Yeah. Yes. As soon as I sign these, our marriage is over.

Are you, are you sure you wanna do that right here? Not in your or something? Yeah, it’s fine.

Oh, maybe it isn’t.

I remember the day when my divorce papers. I mean, we had been separated for a while. It wasn’t like I was holding out hope for some last minute reprieve, but, but still, it, it’s, it’s just something about how final it feels, you know, seeing your, your names in black and white, accepting that my marriage, something I tried very, very hard to save was just, Over.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, believe me, if I thought that there was a, a chance to save it, I, I, I would still be fighting. So why the hesitation? I guess? Um,

I don’t know. Even though Nicole’s the one who wanted to end our marriage, I just. I just, I feel like, uh, I failed

again.

Oh, sweetheart. I can’t imagine how betrayed you must feel by Xander’s actions, and I’m sure right now you feel that the best solution is to wash your hands of him. And I felt that way in my marriage a few times. This is different. Mom. Victor never pretended to be anything other than he was. Oh, Victor has done plenty of things that I haven’t been happy with.

Just don’t think I’m as forgiving as you. Oh, it’s not about forgiving. It’s about love. So if you love someone, you just have to accept them no matter what. No, of course not. But you have to hang on and you have to to. Until you can’t any longer, you owe that to yourself. You married Xander, you made vows to him.

Not sure that, for better or worse included kidnapping, but if you still love him, you know I do. Yeah.

I am always going to,

how do I trust that he will never do something like this again? And how do I stay in a marriage if I can’t trust my husband? Well, you know, if you feel that way and you can’t imagine ever trusting him again, then you should.

You think that there’s still a chance? Oh, . It’s too soon to make that decision. The pain and the betrayal, it’s just too raw. You need time to think to make sure, because you know what? You may change your mind tomorrow. Next week, next month.

I don’t want you to do something that you can’t undo. Okay? I love you very much. You the strongest person I know. So you decide I’ll be here to support you. Okay? I love you. Love you too.

Oh, bloody hell. Of course, Sarah blabbed all over town. It was wishful thinking that she’d keep her mouth shut. Oh, well, considering how she feels about what you did to keep Xander from her, I’d say miracle is more like it. I still cannot believe you, and Xander was so careless as to stand in the middle of the park and have a conversation about Zander.

I have to warn him. What are you doing? What are you doing? I have to phone him. Why? Because I already feel guilty about my role in Sarah learning the truth. I can’t be the reason Xander goes to prison. Xander kidnapping people will be the reason he goes to prison. Yeah, but maybe if I could get that first, I could, I could maybe make things better and I could, oh, okay.

Gwen, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I did not wanna have to do this, but it’s time for the mittens to come off and the tough love to come out. I love you and you need to stay the hell away from Zander. Gwen, why don’t you think Gwen was the clown that attacked us in that warehouse? You mean the clown you enlisted to attack you in that w.

What? I dunno. We know Gwen created that fake website for you and the fake employment contract and she covered up your crime. Multiple crimes. Gwen had nothing to do with the kidnapping, I promise, because she’s so innocent, right? Speak a good friend to me, some friend. Forget it. Bunny. Xander’s never gonna roll over on Gwen.

At least not to us. But maybe he’ll change his mind when he talks to the cops calls. Huh? What’d you think You were gonna skate? One gut punch and you were gonna get off. Justin, you don’t have to do this. Some free legal advice cousin. Get yourself a good attorney. You’re gonna need one. Let’s go buddy. No, I don’t please you.

I seriously don’t come back. Can I interest you some Red Chad and I are friends and it’s not like he’s forcing me to hang out. Coming here today was my decision. Certainly not yours. You’re right. You’re absolutely right. I’m sorry that I overstepped. Damn right. I’m overstepped. I can’t help it that I care about you.

I worry about you. You have a big heart and what I’ve been seeing lately, to me, it just looks. Like what? Like Chad is manipulating me. Oh, I think that’s a strong word, but, but it’s what you were thinking, right? I was thinking that this whole situation, it’s not fair. Okay. I don’t, I don’t understand where this is coming from.

I mean, you’re the one who asked him to stay and play video games with us on Christmas. I know I was. I did. So what was that about? Were you just pretending to be a nice guy? You didn’t really want him to stay? God, of course. I didn’t want him to stay. Steph, you and I were about to have sex. Well, then why didn’t you say something?

Because it’s sad. Chad, the widower upset on Christmas. I’m not gonna throw him out in the cold. It’s not a good look and I don’t wanna look like a jerk. Wow. I’m making up for that now, aren’t you, Steph? I’m okay. I’m sorry that you didn’t wanna spend Christmas with Chad. I’m sorry that you think I’m spending too much time.

But he’s still grieving his wife, my cousin. If I can, if I can help him, then I owe it to Abigail. Babe, do you really think that’s helping you don’t think it could be. Maybe making it worse. What is that supposed to mean? Did it ever occur to you that Maybe your leading chat on.

I would never lead Chad on again. Maybe not intentionally, but you hired him to consult at your company. He comes over at Christmas with gifts. You go ice skating with him and his kids. Those kids are my family and they just lost their mother. Okay, Steph, you’re not just going with the kids ice skating.

You’re going together as a. And it’s not just today, it’s not just a Christmas, it’s anytime Chad shows up upset, you let him in. Okay? He’s not a stray dog. He’s my friend. He’s your friend who wanted something more outta the relationship. And I, I, I don’t understand why the more chances that you give him and the more time you spend with him, the more of a chance he thinks there’s gonna be something between the two of you.

So, so you think that by being kind to Chad, I’m some. Signaling that I wanna be with him, that, that I want him to get over his dead wife and fall for me. No, that, no, that maybe I’m not explaining this correctly or right. Then let me explain it. There is nothing romantic going on between me and Chad. He knows that you and I are seeing each other.

He respects that he respects me, which is more than I can say for some people right now, Steph. So. If you don’t mind, the kids are waiting, I will text you to reschedule our meeting.

Just because your marriage failed doesn’t make you a failure. How about three? Three marriages? Mm-hmm. , and now three divorces.

You at a certain point, you gotta start looking at yourself in the mirror. I’m wondering what the hell’s wrong with you that you couldn’t make it work. I know you can’t think like that. Okay, so, uh, how should I think

I haven’t known you very long, but you still seem like the guy who believes in love. God only knows why. I mean, you’ve been hurt, but you still try again. You’ve taken chances. I mean, it’s better to have loved and lost, right? Sorry. Is that really cringey? A little? Yeah. I don’t even know if it’s true. Well then let me give you some actual advice.

Says you have to sign this, right? Take some time. Go on a walk or something, you know, just, just make sure it’s something that you are ready to do when you need to do

so. You can even wait for me to finish my advice. No, I appreciate the effort, but I was just dragging out the pain and now I’m glad it’s over. You sure you’re okay, boss? Yeah. Wasn’t actually. Maybe. Maybe you should take the rest of the up. Nope. No. I am going to get back to doing what I do best. Putting away the bag.

Guys. All great news. We’ve got one of those for you.

You think I should stop talking to Zana? Stop talking to him. Stop seeing him. Unfollow him on Insta Fire. Can’t abandon him. Not now. The loving part of me would say, I understand it’s gonna be hard. You just need a little distance. And the tough part, save your ass while you can. But what if he needs me Lookwe?

Nobody knows better than I do. What a great day smoke show this guy is. And I know he’s still nestled deep inside your sweet, damaged heart, but he roped you into a kidnapping scheme that ended with somebody dead. He’s sinking. Gwen, you gotta abandon ship. But you sure it isn’t really already over? I mean, aren’t there any lifeboats out there?

Well, you haven’t been arrested. That’s a good sign. Yeah. But you said that Sarah was going around town saying what Sandra did. Do you think she’s gonna leave my name out of it? I would guess by now. She’s blaring your name out there in neon lights.

Sarah is your, your home up. That’s what you were working. I had the overnight shift. You must be exhausted, aren’t you? If she’s asleep, I can clear out. No,

I’m not staying here. I should have known. That’d be too much to hope for. You just missed Bonnie and Justin. How was that? Well, she punched me in the gut and he vaped at me, thrown in prison. That poor woman has been living in terror thinking that there’s some maniac out there trying to get her. So if you thought that I was gonna lie to her and Justin about you being the kidnapper, why you did it, Sarah, I don’t blame you.

But does that mean you’re also gonna talk to the police?

I have not spoken to the police. Well, Justin and Bonnie just left for the station to turn you in for being her kidnapper. He has the plan, but the whole case is based on

what you told them You overheard. So I’m wondering, are you gonna corroborate this story?

I hadn’t really thought about that. Must have crossed your mind before you told Bonnie she was a victim. She deserved to know who terrorized her, right? And now she’s gonna share that knowledge with the police. And that first question is gonna be how she knows, at which time she’s gonna tell them she heard it from you.

So you are gonna be the next call. So my question is, What are you gonna say to them?

So now that you know what Andrew did to me, are you gonna arrest him? Because I know exactly where he is. Unless of course he tried to flee already. Okay, well, I’m afraid that it’s not that simple. Why not? Because we’re bringing them secondhand knowledge, hearsay, unusable in a court of. I’m afraid That’s right.

But Sarah heard Xander talk about what he did to me. She told us. She can tell you they’re still gonna need proof. Proof. How about the fact that I was held prisoner? How about the fact that Susan Banks is dead? Okay. Not proof that you were kidnapped. Proof that it was Xander under that clown mask. Oh my God, what are you gonna do?

Let him get away with it. Are we supposed to just go about our lives like nothing happened? No. We are gonna do everything that we possibly can to make sure that he faces the consequences, but in order to do that, we need definitive evidence or someone to confess.

I am telling you, Gwenny, I have never done a better acting job in my life. You can only imagine the flap sweat coming out of every pour in my body. Lovely image. When Bonnie started talking about Xander rescuing her from that clown, it was like there’s a white hot spotlight shining on my soul. What were they asking?

What weren’t they asking? How could Xander be guilty of kidnapping when he was tied up right next to her having a knockdown drag out with her friendly neighborhood clown? She didn’t figure out that the second clown was you. Did she? Would I be standing here if she did? Oh, thank God. I don’t thank him. She thinks it was you.

Sweet to Jason’s mom. Huh? Take the kids for cocoa. It was, where’s Alex? He had to go back to work.

Listen. Um, I’m sorry about before. What do you mean you guys had a meeting scheduled and. And, uh, I’m, I’m sorry for making you miss it. Don’t worry about it. I wanted to play hooky. Hmm. So I feel a little, feel a little guilty.

Is this because of what Alex said to you?

What did Alex say to me? I heard a bit of your conversation before I walked up earlier. Oh, and just so you know, I don’t agree with him. You and I are friends and I enjoy spending time with you. He seemed pretty upset. Yeah, well, he has no reason to be. He’s just letting his insecurities get the best of him.

Even so I feel like I’m becoming an issue and I, and I, I told you I didn’t wanna become a problem for you too. You’re not. It’s his issue, not mine, and certainly not yours. Yeah. Well, it’s not unreasonable for Alex to wanna spend time with the woman that he’s seen.

If you and I were dating, I wouldn’t wanna share you with another man either.

Bonnie thought I was the clown. Well, technically it was Sarah’s theory. Not much of a stretch, I suppose, considering that she knows you helped cover up the original kidnapping, God, I mean, look at me. How? How? How can I pass for a muscle bound clown the same way I could, despite my slender figure and delicate features?

I knew about the bodysuit. How did they know? Apparently the cops found some evidence of it. Salem PD doing their jobs to go figure. So you are telling me that Sarah and Bonnie. Actually think that Zander had a physical fight with. Actually Bonnie was skeptical. Gosh, I should hope so. No, no, no. You shouldn’t hope so, because if they follow the trail of the second clown, it could lead them right to my doorstep.

I finally have my life together. Gwenny Sonny is actually starting to trust me for once. I am not a complete screw up. The last thing I need is any trouble with the law. Could that be.

Oh, but it is Leo. Hope we’re not interrupting.

I can’t lie to the police. If they ask me what I heard you and Gwen talking about, then I have no choice but to tell them. I understand that. I’ve never asked you to lie Sarah, but you might not have to.

What do you mean you do have the option of not saying anything at all? The right turn remains. I am not the one under suspicions, Andrew. That’s not what I’m talking about. From what I’ve gleaned in this country, a wife can’t be compelled to testify against her husband.

That’s presuming I still am your wife.

I appreciate you trying to understand Alex’s point of view, but I don’t want anything he said to affect our friendship. It won’t. I’m really grateful for the time that you’ve spent with me and the kids. I think, um, I think it really helps. Get, uh, get through the first holiday without their mother.

But we’re past Christmas now, so if you need a break, I don’t need a break. I like spending time with you and the kids. Oh, I think that’s part of Alex’s issue. Two damn bad. I’m not looking to upset him, but at the end of the day, who I spend my time with is not his. It’s mine and I’ve made it. Besides, he has nothing to worry about.

We were just friends. Right.

We’re more than that.

I’m really proud of you. You know, from punching Xander. Well, not too, but for telling the police what he did to. I know how hard that was for you. I’m just glad it’s over, you know? And it was worth bringing up those awful memories if, if it can make sure as Andrew gets what he deserves. Well, my hope is that knowing who did this to you will not put an end to your nightmares, and you no longer have to live in fear of being attacked by a clown.

Thank you. You make me feel so safe. I always want you to feel that way. You get way. But Justin, I feel badly. For you. For me? Mm-hmm. . Why Santa is your family. You trusted him. You cared about him? I did. For him to hurt your wife? Like. To hurt you, God, you must feel so betrayed. I am. But the most important thing is to make sure that Xander and whoever helped him gets what they deserve.

So officers, what can I do for you? It’s Kamus, Scher and Detective actually. Oh yeah, that’s right. My mistake.

You. It’s just a little cramp in my leg. Would you like to sit down? Um, Leo can get you some water. No, I can. No, no, no, no, no. No trouble. That’s okay. This isn’t gonna take long, right Then. So, um, what is this about the kidnapping of Bonnie Kikis and Susan Banks? Oh yeah. What about it? Well, No need for the innocent act.

Okay. We already know you were an accessory after the fact. I’m not even sure know what that means. Bonnie came by the station and she laid out a very plausible explanation about the kidnapping and it’s aftermath. Oh yeah, I know. Oh, poor woman. She must be so traumatized after what she went through. Did she accuse me?

She told us that Xander Cook was her kidnapper Sander. How awful. Which is why we’re here. I didn’t understand. We know you helped him, but we also know that you want the Mastermind. So any details you can provide to help us build the case again, Sandra would be greatly appreci. Well, like I said, I would love to help, but, um, I’m sorry, I dunno.

Anything about the incident. All right. Right. That’s right, of course. Okay. Well, should you suddenly remember something? I’m sure we can work something out. Work something out. Yeah. Well, you know, it, uh, seems unfair for you to be punished for Xander’s crimes, especially after the, uh, the way he treated you.

And I know Xander and I promise. The minute he is faced with prison, he’s gonna take you down with him.

We’re more than friends. Yeah, we’re family. We’ll always be connected. And I, I think that’s probably what struck a nerve with Alex. You’ll get over it or he won’t,

but I know, uh, my kids really like spending time. And so do I. But you know, if you ever feel like we’re taking advantage, I’ll say something. Not that I think you would ever do that, but if for any reason it gets to be too much, I promise, I’ll let you know. Good. But just do me a favor, you know, don’t hurt my feelings Too bad.

Yeah. Let me down. Easy sensitive . Just make something up. Tell me that, uh, that you’re working or train for a triathlon. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. I’ll let you down. Easy . I appreciate that. So don’t give this Alex stuff another thought. Okay.

Oh, it’s for me to worry about.

Well, your offer is very generous, but um, I’m afraid I’ve got nothing to say. You don’t have anything to say or you don’t wanna say it? Well, either way, I’m not going to be talking until I have a nice little chat with my attorney. Fine. Yeah. But I wouldn’t wait too long because this case is not going away.

Understood. Have a nice day, Mr. Mr. Stark. Yeah, you too.

Well, that was stressful. Oh, you telling me, I mean, you practically threatened to arrest me. What are you gonna do? How hell should I know? Have you thought about? You know, taking the deal. You want me to throw Zander under the bus? Oh, I know you still love him, but you’ve been risking everything for this guy and he’s still pining for Sarah.

I can’t believe if I’m saying this, but I actually agree with the cops. Why should you suffer for something that Xander did? So you punched Sandra in the stomach, . It was a pretty good shot too. I needed to blow off. Well, that’s understandable. As we speak. The police are trying to build a case against him.

How do you feel about that? Uh, I think he should face the music after what he did to Bonnie. I, uh, I appreciate you saying that, Maggie, especially since he’s your son-in-law. Yes, he is. I care about him very much. And you know, despite what he did, he loves my daughter or Sarah. It’s so awful for her to know she’s married to a kidnapper.

Well, actually, she’s thinking about ending the marriage.

Are you saying you, you don’t want to be married to me anymore?

My mother tried to convince me that I was rushing into this, and honestly, I didn’t know how I would feel when I saw you, and then

when I reached for that door. My heart was racing.

I wasn’t sure what I’d find,

what find,

I mean, it’s not like I expected you to be in here with your cloud mask. It’s just,

it proved to me that. I don’t trust you anymore.

I never will Sarah say that for divorce when I leave here,

nothing. Excuse me. I’m gonna go.

That hot stone massage was exactly what I needed. I think it was a good idea coming to the end for New Year’s Eve.

Go on something rough. I’m reading a very disturbing message from Brave. You’re not even gonna believe what Kristen has done. Now.

Go ahead. How can this be happening? Kristen? Just come and sit. I can’t sit Brady. I can barely breathe. I mean, whoever took her, why, why haven’t they made a, a ransom demand? Why haven’t they, why haven’t they told us what they need from us? We were told to wait for further instructions. We just need to be patient, patient, patient.

Our daughter has been kidnapped to Brady. Okay? Should be hurt or worse after what we went through to be a family. Like we can’t lose her. She.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

, good looking. Stephanie,

what are you doing here? I’m sure you remember how Chad interrupted us on Christmas, so I’m here for my rain check.

This time I came from here.

Wow. No wreath of condoms.

You came very prepared. Are you kidding me? Winter Green.

Don’t you have any other flavors?

Hey, I was just, uh, slept your voicemail. I’m, I’m gonna take a personal day. Taking the kids ice skating. Oh, well, I’m not here about work. I come bearing gifts for Thomas and. and they were so sweet to get me that cd. I wanted to bring them a little something in return. Mm-hmm. , that’s, that’s very nice. Come in.

Are they upstairs or, uh, yeah. Um, I’m gonna get them in a second. I, I’ve actually been wanting to ask you a question. Hmm. Shoot. Did I ruin your Christmas? Yeah. Christmas Didn’t, um, exactly turn out the way that I planned. Yeah, I, I know I said I’d be back in LA right after the holidays, but I, I’m dealing with some stuff.

Yep. Uh, , listen, I’m aware there’s work to do. I’ll, I’ll be on a plane as soon as I can. Okay. Talk soon.

This is nice. Will Sonny be joining us? No. No, he just went out.

Ooh. Someone’s in a good mood. I am, I am. I was just looking at real estate listings and I think I found a lovely, reasonably priced department that might work for Sarah Sander.

Well, what’s wrong? Uh, Maggie. There’s something you need to know about Xander and the company that he supposedly worked for. Supposedly, yeah. The, uh, pharmaceutical startup, uh, rednecks is a fake, it’s actually Xander. Spell backwards. What? There was no company, no job opening for a vice president in charge of sales.

Zander made the whole thing up. He lied to Sarah by getting a job there. That’s not all he lied about.

Zander z

Zand, it’s me. Are you in there?

Oh my God. Sandra, you all right? Oh yeah. I’m great. Oh, top of the world. Look at me. I’ve been phoning you. You didn’t answer your phone on your phoning and phoning. I thought you were hurt or, or even worse. Oh, worse. Definitely worse. Yeah. I can’t stop, think. What a worthless human being. I am a wretched loser, lying, dirtbag.

Sick. Right? Get up more. Four. What’s the point? The point is, you are not gonna self-flagellate any longer. You’re gonna get up and you’re gonna dust yourself off. Come on. I can’t Ah, can’t I start all over again? Gwe. Oh, how bloody, yes. Course you can. Come on you. And you will. Up you go. That’s it. Now that is an order Zander cook, and you know better than to find me

like Sands through the hourglass. So on the days of our lives,

I will never forgive Xander for this. Well, hang on. So Red Max doesn’t exist. Gwen created a website employment contract. The. Gwen, she claims she was doing Xander, a solid, helping him keep Sarah from finding out he wasn’t working. I am so confused. I felt that Xander had the job and then he decided to quit because his boss wanted him to do something unethical.

Xander made that up too. And when I offered to sue redneck for wrongful termination, Gwen gave me a fake c e o name, fake email address. Well, and when I saw rednecks written on the file cover, I put two and two. Okay, so then it looks like I’m the last one to know about this, uh, elaborate employment. Bruce

Sarah Sweetheart. There, there seems to be a reasonable explanation. Reasonable. Well, look, it sounds to me like Xander went to extremes to convince you that he had a job because he, he was feeling. , you know? Awful. And because he wasn’t able to provide for you or to, to pull his own weight, huh? This is about so much more than a stupid fake job.

They had a job, he just couldn’t tell us what it was because his boss was Ava Vitali. What? That can’t be. I wish to God it wasn’t. You were right the first time. The kidnapper was Xander.

Look,

Claire, eat this. No, come on, eat it now. Please.

There you are. Feel better. No, but that’s because you are mired and self hatred. You’re constantly bloody beating up on yourself. And what? What’s that gonna. What does anything do when the, the one that you love no longer wants anything to do with you Quinn? Hmm. That’s funny cause I’ve asked myself that question many a time and here’s what I’ve said to answer it.

Would you like to hear it? We are given this gift of life. Oh. For such a short time, and no matter how. Or disappointed or devastated you might be by all the horrible, rotten things that happen to us in life. You always have to remember to keep your sunny sights up and look forward to a better future. You should drive yourself, help burn.

Yeah. You know, I may just do that actually, and I might call it how to help a good friend out of a miserable funk, even when said friend is determined to stay in a miserable funk. How can I not stay in a miserable funk? Of course, there are dozens of times, but a message after message begging you to call me back so I can explain.

There’s no response, none. It’s like I can no longer exist. We don’t exist over. No, no, not necessarily. You were there when Sarah said she never wanted to see me. I would. I would listen less to what she says and more to what she’s done. And there you’ll find your silver line here.

Did you ruin my Christmas with Alex? You guys had the whole place to yourself and then I stuck around until like two in the morning playing video games. Did I ruin your plans with him?

Where they’re, hi. Oh, it’s so good to see you both. Daddy didn’t tell us you were coming. Oh, well he didn’t know. I wanted to tell you guys how much I loved my cd and maybe you can open these when you get home from ice skating with your dad. Can you come with us? Don’t these so much time. Oh, please, please, please stand.

Wow. It looks like I’m more popular around here than I thought.

What the hell are you doing in my room? Waking you from a very hot dream, apparently. Yeah. Thank you for ruining it. I’m doing my toothpaste. I need Don’t be so stingy. I just want one little squirt. Oh my God. Get it back and get out. Can you at least tell me where I could find a. Less gastly flavor than winter green.

Why don’t you ask the guy who asked you to move in here, God knows why. Well, son’s out and I couldn’t find any in his bathroom. Can do. Try Victor, right? He’d kill me. Like I said, try Victor. Oh, come on Alex. I can’t start the day without fresh breath. Where did my brother go to try to smooth things over with his crybaby husband about me living here?

I think they’re gonna kiss and make up. Definitely as long as he agrees to kick you out on your ass.

How can we, can we ca that depends. Where’s Leo? He’s at my uncle’s house where I left him. You mean where he is staying Still will nope. Nothing else to say. Will please.

Silver lining it. You’re joking, aren’t you? Hear me out. Where? Come on. Proceed. I want to hear all about what’s so great about my wife ignoring them all ears. Mm-hmm. . I’m waiting. Right. Lander, did you spend the night in jail? Did an army of police turn up and arrest you for. Oh, not yet. I said then come on man.

If it hasn’t happened, it’s not gonna, it means that Sarah hasn’t told the cops or anyone else. You don’t think she went straight to Bonnie and Justin? No, I don’t. Cause he would’ve been arrested and I haven’t heard anything from Jack. So, see. Let’s hope yet because that means Sarah obviously decided to keep what you did to herself.

So Xander admitted he was working for Ava Batali. Somehow she knew that he was having financial problems and she used that to get him to put on the clown mask, kidnap Susan, and collect some of the ransom as a paid, my God. And does it surprise? Who he turned to when he needed help covering his tracks.

Cause that’s right folks. None other than the Master of Deception herself. Miss Gwen, risk check. So are you saying that Zander was cheating on you? Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t know, mom, I, I don’t put anything past him at this point. I mean, it’s not like he has a good moral compass, but with him being a kidnapper, but, but that, that doesn’t make any sense.

Seriously. It doesn’t, I mean, he. Was snatched up by that muscle bound clown, same as me, cuz it’s, it’s kind of impossible that kidnapper had to be somebody else.

And then after that, Wilhelmina just stormed out such a drama queen. Well, you don’t have to worry about that Leo, because your throne is safe and despite your little twist and your little, uh, spin on things, I’m with Will on this one. The guy who ditched his family to fly off to la la land. Uh, yeah, because he had to do what he needed to do for his job.

I know this might be a concept that’s foreign to you, Leo, but some people have to travel for work. Uh, travel is one thing he told Sonny he wasn’t coming home for the holidays. Yeah. Except he did come home for the holidays to surprise Sonny on Christmas only to find him with you. Here, the person who has caused a whole lot of people, including Will and Sonny, a whole lot of misery.

That is, in my opinion, your subjective perspective. That’s a subjective perspective, really. Uhhuh. really see, in my opinion, That’s an objective fact because your whole MO is to target vulnerable men and bleed them dry. You say that like, I have designs on Sunny. We’re just friends. Okay. Well, in my experience, when somebody in one party says that we’re just friends, that’s not the truth.

The truth is one of those people is pining for the other, and then the other person who thinks he’s about to have sex with one of those friends is left out in the. Okay, well now I have lost track of which person is the other person and who’s pining for whom. But somehow I don’t think we’re talking about me and Sonny anymore.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I will go, but no one can laugh if I fall on my. Kay. We would never. All right, go get your hats in your gloves. Come on. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Okay. Get your coach too.

Are you sure about this? Dude? You need me? Those kids totally own you all. Just call the ring . Okay.

Will come on, will open up when I slam the door in your face. That meant go away. All right, well, are we alone because we’re talking.

Allie and Chanel are out, but no son. We are not alone because Leo Stark is smack in the middle of our lives. Okay. And you think shutting me out literally is the best way to get through it. We shouldn’t have to get through anything. You kick Leo out. That’s problem solved. You have every right to be upset.

Yes, I, yes, I know. I’ve, I I am upset and I should be upset because you do this one simple thing and it’s over, but for some incomprehensible reason, you, you just, you haven’t done it yet. He has nowhere else to go, will, son, you’re doing it again. You’re feeling sorry for a, for a predator. Leo Stark is a gold digging Grif.

All he does is bring pain and misery. Why is it so hard for you to believe that someone can change? I’m not, I’m not having this conversation with you. I’m not. You’re not. What? What? Look, somewhat someone, yes, someone can change, but a gold digging grifter, like I said, a conman with a heart of stone. I don’t think so.

Okay. I’m not. That Leo is a completely different person, and I, I’m definitely not excusing his past behavior, but like I said, I’ve been spending a lot of time with him and I, it’s become very clear to me that beneath all the flamboyance and theatrics is a, a real human being with feelings and, and dreams.

Feelings and dreams. Really? Yes. I’ve seen it, and maybe if you were here, you’d, you’d believe it too. Oh, you mean if I hadn’t abandoned you to go to la? Of course, we’re still talking about Sonny. You’re trying to cause problems between him and will. Meanwhile, all you give a damn about is your toothpaste. I prefer cinnamon.

Fine. I’ll borrow Maggie. Or buy your own or better yet, move out and then buy your own. You, you are clearly not a morning person. I, I just don’t enjoy waking up with a thief in my room, Leo, or in my bed. Scram. You gotta go. I, I, I have to get dressed. Need a hand picking out a shirt? Oh my goodness. Alexander, get your mind out of the gutter.

But if you did need a hand, let’s go out, out.

Whoever was in that clown Baskett couldn’t have been Xander. I mean, it’s impossible. When I came to, in the Warehouse, he was tied up right next to me and the, and then the bozo came in and the two of ’em got in a big brawl, and yet somehow the clown managed to get out without being unmasked. Bonnie, it was a setup.

The, the whole thing was just an act to make Xander look like a hero. My God, is it possible well pull it off? He would’ve needed someone to. Yeah. Yeah. And I know who it was. Morning loves what’d I miss?

Sarah hasn’t said anything yet. Yeah. And I don’t think she ever will. That makes one of us. She just needs time to, to calm down. Yeah. And, and realize that you never meant to hurt. I did hurt her badly. Yes, but that wasn’t your intention, was it?

I mean, come on. You’re in this whole bloody mess, Sandra, because you love her so damn much. So maybe have some faith in her love for you too, and some hope that she will come to understand that you were doing all of this just to, to prove. That you’re a good husband. There’s no way Sarah’s gonna gimme the benefit of the doubt about this.

It’s more likely that she’ll find an evil clan to take me out. Pessimist, Gwen, I really do appreciate you Trina. You know, cheer me up and I feel awful for dragging you into all this. I know how hard you’ve worked. Get back into Jack’s good graces. If he finds out that you’ve been helping me, boy, you let me deal with my dad messed up my life beyond all repair.

I’m not gonna do the same to you. I’ll tell Jack that you’ve Yeah. That I, I forced you to help me. Then I’ll, I’ll protect you, I promise. No, you’ve already got so much to deal with. As is Quinn. You keep telling me that I. I’m trying to pay you. My dad. Let me,

are you taking shots at me for going to la? Oh, oh my God. That’s not, that’s not what I meant. I swear, if you wanna have a conversation about how we can live apart, I would be more than happy to, but I think we should probably deal with this. Okay. You wanna be roomies with Leo? I think that’s patently insane.

I asked you to kick him out. You refused. What, what else is there to discuss? I, if you disagreed with me about something that I felt strongly about, I would hear your opinion. So can you, can you just please do the same for me please? Fine. Okay. , thank you.

Look, when, when Craig left, Leo kind of lost him, all right? And he hurt a lot of people, but he knows that he made a mistake. Do you honestly believe that? I do. Yeah, I do. What do you When he talks about it, I, I can see the sadness in his eyes. I can hear the regret in his voice. He knows he screwed up. And he, he spent a lot of time reflecting, thinking about how to change his life, how to turn it around, and the first step was to find a job.

So I offered him one. No, he asked you for one when you were in the hospital and you said he was a conniving creep and he needed to talk to Alex and he didn’t. He did months later, after we started becoming friends. So when Alex shut him, I told him that when I went back to being C E O, I would need an assistant.

No, you were gonna hire him again, Sonny. No, he almost destroyed tight. Let me finish. He shut me down. You know why? Because he knew Uncle Vic would freak out and fire me. That’s proof right there. That is proof that he has changed. He put my wellbeing in front of his own needs, or he’s parlaying your offer into something better.

Why are you being so negative? Why are you being so naive? Just because Leo does. Potentially not completely selfish thing. I’m, I’m, you, you want me to change my mind on him? No. I am trying to get you to understand the choices that I’ve made and if you understand those choices and you still want Leo gone.

He’s gone.

People. The mood in here is downright marose. It’s like someone died or something. Wait, did someone die? I’m just glad I didn’t. Doesn’t that clown. Sarah thinks that Zander was the kidnapper and that he hired a fig kidnapper so that I wouldn’t suspect that he was a real kidnapper. I think. Well, that seems farfetched.

Leo, please. Um, Sarah was about to tell us who she thinks Xander’s accomplice was, and she seems pretty sure about it. I am. There’s only one person that makes sense.

You want to repay me right now if.

I think that we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves here. Now, see, I am still very optimistic that things fuck out for you. Now you’re a bit optimistic. I am going to, uh, drown my saw eyes. Right.

I’m going to be very brutally honest with you right now.

Cook. You are as delectable specimen of the male species that I have ever laid eyes on, but you are never more unattractive than when you wallow in self petty.

Short break. I promise I’ll be right back.

Oh, there she is, Alex. Hi. Hi. What are you doing here? Your assistant said I might find you here. Oh, why’d you need to find me? We had a strategy meeting planned for today. What did you forget about me? No, I actually left a message with your assistant about rescheduling. Did you? Mm-hmm. . Oh. Must have ah, must have got my wires crossed.

Oh, sorry about that. It’s okay. Anyway, what are you doing here? What are you here with?

I thought you felt strongly about this. I do. But you’re willing to change your mind.

Uh, Leo and I will still be friends. Okay. We work through a lot and that that means something to me, but I will find him another place to live as soon as possible, even though you think it’s perfectly fine for him to stay. Keri, obviously it’s not perfectly fun if it upsets you.

You’re my husband. Well, you always come first.

I no one. I feel like I’m forcing you to do something you don’t want to do. You’re not forcing me to do anything. All I want to do is to make you happy. That’s the most important thing to me. I love you will. I love you when things are great. And I still love you when we’re fighting and I still can’t believe you flew all the way out here and I still haven’t gotten a single kiss yet.

Well, Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.

Love, as they say. Conquer. I can’t take any more of your positivity. Oh God, I’m not gonna stand here and, and let you just give up. I’m a woman of your dreams. What choice do I have? Change. Change your mindset. Zander. Stop feeling so bloody. Sorry for yourself. And start thinking about Sarah. Yeah. Think about,

think about holding her for kissing her, touching her, lost all of that forever. Ah, so you’re a loser then. No. A quitter then, are you? Not at all. Right. Well then imagine yourself with your wife. Yeah. Together. Close. Happy. Now. Alright. I’m imagining, I’m imagining good. No, just hold that there. Just keep that mental image there at the forefront of your mind and let it motivate you.

Put this fire underneath you and hold onto it every minute of every day until Sarah’s back in your arms.

Oh my gosh. That’s exactly what I need to do. Your riot.

thank you so much. You are the only one that could have brought me back from the head. Yeah. Well I am your mate, so the least. Do

you think Gwen was Xander’s accomplice? Well, I heard him going over everything with her, so, well. He may have told her about the kidnapping, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she was in on it. However, she was in, on his lie about the. But the clown who kidnapped Zandra in me was a man, a big man, and didn’t look at all like Gwen actually.

Grave called me earlier and he said that uh, they found some evidence to indicate that the clown was actually wearing a bodysuit, one of those bodysuits you wear to bulk up your appearance, which means that it’s possible that it was Gwen or a man with a smaller frame. Isn’t that right, Leo? Who are you looking at me for?

You’re Gwen’s friend. Did she mention any of this to you? And just don’t even think about lying. I swear on a stack of Bibles. I know absolutely nothing about Gwen dressing up as a clown. If I were you, I try W Ringling Brothers.

Hi guys, this is Alex. Why don’t you say, Hi, Alex. Nice to meet you. Hey, nice to meet you. Firm Shake. Good shake. So I, uh, I heard that, that this one missed a meeting. I’m sorry. That’s on us. We, uh, we dragged her into this. Aw, daddy, you wanna skate more? Okay. Yeah. Uh, just give us a minute. You know what, I got this.

You too. Catch up. Okay, come on. Let’s go.

Oh, I’m sorry, man. The kids wanted her to come. Oh, no. It’s all good, man. It’s all good. You guys having a good time? Yeah, yeah, we are. Good, good, good. I’m glad. Chad, I just want to, uh, make sure we’re clear on where we stand now. You do know Stephanie and I are together.

Yes, of course. I know that you and Stephanie are. I’m sorry man. I didn’t mean for that to come out as harsh as it may have. Uh,

I know how rough Christmas was for you. I know you’re missing Abigail and I get it, man. I really do. And to be honest, I had a really good time hanging out with you, but not to get too tmi right before you showed up. It’s just Steph and I having a good time. I ended up having a run at the drugstore to go get.

You know? Right, right. Yeah, exactly. So here I am thinking that it’s just gonna be the two of us and . Yeah. I’m becoming the third wheel. I, I would’ve maybe found kinder words to say, but sort of Look, I honestly been, that wasn’t my intention with the holidays. I was just feeling lonely. Stephanie’s a friend and she’s easy to be with.

Yeah, she is, but the holidays are over. We made it just another workday in which Stephanie and I had a meeting planned and instead she’s here with you all having Having what? Family time.

I’ve been away for a lot longer than either of us thought I would be, and I’m sorry for that son, even though it was unavoidable and you supported my decision to go. But I, I still feel like I kind of stranded you here, and I, I know that’s been hard it. It’s been hard for me too. What’s made it sort of bearable is that I’m surrounded by people all the time, you know, colleagues, fellow filmmakers, and you know, some friends I I’ve made who aren’t substitutes for you.

obviously. But I, I, I guess what, what I, what I’m trying to say is I’m okay with you having, you know, a new friend too. I just really wish it was somebody else. Okay. Well it isn’t, and I don’t think we want a relationship where we can veto each other’s friendships. No, we don’t. Okay, so I’m still gonna be friends with Leo.

And you don’t like that? Where does that leave us?

Fatty? What’s on earth? Did you just run here? Uber flat. Need to talk urgent. Is this about your mission to get into Sunny’s Trouss? Don’t you bother denying it? I know you all too. Well man. Bye. So, okay, yes. Sorry darling, but your sexual fantasies are gonna have to wait cause I’ve just got too much in my mind.

So yes, please. Another time. Another time. Another my foot,

my darling girl. I’m so. About all of this. You don’t have to be sorry, mom. This is all on me. I, I knew that there was something wrong with Xander and I just pushed it off. Can I do that? You love him?

Yeah, but I let, I let that blind me to who he is, who he’s always going to be.

Hi, it’s Sarah. Leave a message. It’s. Again, I, I know I have so much to make up for Sarah. So many bad mistakes and and bad choices by swear. I did it all for love cause I love you so much with all my heart. I swear I do. Please just call me back.

I guess where that leaves us is, uh, pretty awkward place. Yeah,

I’m, I’m, I’m not gonna lie to you, it, it is hard for me to accept that you’re friends with someone who has done so much damage. Um, but you and Leo have admitted some fences and it’s clear that you have a certain loyalty to him. And when I think about it, the only thing I can. I just respect that

shall woo agree to disagree until you realize I’m right or vice versa. I hate hate you. I know, but I love making up.

Family time, that’s not an accusation. I understand the whole ice skating thing is innocent, but I also know you had feelings for Stephanie, so I’m gonna ask you man to man,

if there’s something brewing here you think I should know about Chad, it’s better to get it out there now.

Alex? No, listen to me. There’s absolutely nothing romantic going on between me and Stephanie. All right. She’s my friend and my boss. That’s it. All right. Hey, we, uh, we ran into a couple of the kids’ friends just now and their mom who said she’d watch them when I came to get you. Um, but they said that they want daddy to skate too.

Hmm. Okay. Thank you. Mm-hmm. , thank you. Yeah.

All right. If you’re not too tired, what do you say? I go run a pair of skates. I’m gonna go hit a couple laps around this rink. Who the hell do you think you are?

All right. Get you some ice. No need to talk bad news. Yeah. Well, what happened? Your news is it can’t be worse than mine. Sarah overheat, me and Zander talking about the kidnapping and get this. She’s decided to keep what she knows to herself. I mean, it’s a bloody miracle. Why are you flapping? Listen, important.

Okay, go on then talk. Sarah is not keeping her mouth shut. She’s telling everybody what Xander did.

I. I, I spoke to Gwen. If, look, if this is about my phony job at redneck. Oh, rednecks. Oh, rednecks you,

Sarah, please don’t blame yourself. This is all on Zander. Talk to me. Sweet. Tell me what you’re thinking. What will you do next?

The only thing I can do, what is that?

I have to divorce him.

Any luck tracking now, Ralph? So far every lead just brings us straight into another dead end. Okay, we’ll keep at it. We need to find this guy. We need to get him to admit what Lehan did to Steph. Oh, almost forgot a messenger. Dropped us off for you today.

Oh, everything okay? Yeah, it’s from my attorney,

my divorce papers.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Happy. Happy New Year.

Ah. Yeah,

come on, Gabby. Pick up.

It’s me again. Your groom, Jing Gwen told me you’ve gone to Miami to find Stephan. Please call me back as soon as you get this, Gabby, I know how hurt and angry you must be, but if, if you, if you just give me a chance, I can explain everything, so please call me. I love you so much.

Oh man, really? What the hell are you doing in here? Apparently I’m a little too late. How did you get in? Oh, the front desk was very nice to give me this after I showed them that my, it says Gabby Damara, and that’s good. My husband.

What do you mean Rachel’s gone well? Well, she’s not in her bed and, and it’s after midnight and I don’t know where she is. Brady, what are you doing? I’m calling Eric. Who do you think?

It’s his voicemail. Oh my God. I mean, he’s not here. He’s not picking up his phone. He’s supposed to stay with Rachel until we get home. Holidays are passed. Now it’s time to put that plan into motion. Right. My own daughter. Listen, it’s the only way we can force Kristen’s hand. I’m I, I un, I understand. We just have to make sure that we find the right time to.

Tonight. It has to be tonight. Look, he’s the most responsible guy. I know. There’s gotta be some kind of explanation. A donor is missing Brady,

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

I know it’s traditional for people to kiss someone at midnight.

So was this just a New Year’s kiss? It seems to me this kiss could mean whatever, want to.

Hey, hey, where are you going? I dunno.

That was, uh, totally unexpected.

You know, you know this Z we came up with. You don’t make everybody think we’re a couple, so they cut you. Guess what we’re really up to? Well,

I don’t know. Now it’s starting to feel more like mob. We’re really up to instead of an act that I don’t think that made any sense. This is New Year’s. A kissing could just be like, you know, going with the flow felt pretty real to me.

You mean that

felt pretty real to me too.

She’ll call sh sh. She’ll gimme a chance to explain

a message from Rolf. He’s got some explaining to do

your husband’s room. Are you in Lee Honeymooning in this hotel? If so, go find him and leave the two of us alone. I Salem and I don’t want any part of him. You’re not making any sense at the wedding. I remembered something. So, so Rolf did brainwash you, he wipe out your feelings for me. Okay. That is ridiculous.

You told me yourself, you went and saw Wolf, told him your crazy theory, he denied it and you believed. Yes. At first I did, but then I remembered that while I was arguing with him, he all of a sudden had a needle in his hand. He injected me with some kind of drug that made me forget that at first. He admitted I was right.

Well, how do you remember now? I don’t know. I don’t know. But as soon as, as Lee and I were pronounced man and wife, it all came back to me. Stefan, you still love me? If I remember that, then so can you.

Why are you doing this? What do you get out of it? The truth. Everyone in Salem knows that Rolf is devoted to the Deras. So why would he brainwash Stephan? Because it wasn’t Rolf’s decision. Somebody else forced him to do it. Who would do such a thing to me? Huh? Le, my brand new husband.

How the hell could you do this to me? I couldn’t answer when you called me before. I was getting married to the love of my life, but it doesn’t matter. Your warning came too late. The shot were off about five seconds after Gabby and I were married. She’s on her way to Miami right now to find Stefan.

You’re sorry that’s all you’ve got. I guess. You’re not the genius you thought you were and now, now you’ve ruined my life.

It is. Uh, After midnight. , wanna go for a walk?

I know I told my brother I was done with him, but his whole world flew up tonight. Fuck you. You, you’ve warned the guy that that might happen, but I’m not the kind of person who said, I told you so. I feel so bad for him and it kind of makes it hard to focus on how happy I am with you right now. I’m happy too.

D’s lovely. He, he will probably lose his job at Jamira. He might even go to prison. I get it. You’re his sister. He needs. You want to be there for, will I see you tomorrow? I think the chances of that are excellent. I’m gonna ask you on a real date, not one that’s just for appearances. I like that very much.

Okay.

Happy New Year. Happy New Year,

Chris. Hey, Eric’s not here. Rachel’s not here. You know they have New Year’s Eve fireworks down by the river. I’m sure that’s where he took her. Right? But he is not picking up his phone. You’re talking about me. I turned my phone off. Where is Rachel? Uh, she calmed down around 11. You have to put her in bed and tucked her in.

Okay. I was just there. She’s not in her room. It’s impossible. I just checked on her 10 minutes ago. Well, she’s not there now. What happened to my baby girl, Eric?

Thank you.

Hey, I, I think I know what’s going on. Well, why don’t you tell me that? Alright. Listen, listen, listen, Rachel, sometimes she sleepwalk, right? She hasn’t done that since I’ve been here. No, she’s done it. She’s done it once or twice before. So maybe she’s, she’s probably ConEd out one of the other bedrooms. She better be.

She better be or you are in a lot of trouble. Hey Rachel, sweetheart, it’s mommy. Come on out, honey. The hell are you doing? Where is my kid?

Some people think ice cream is just summer. Those people are nuts. That’s what I say. Good. Thanks for letting me stay up past midnight. Yeah, no problem. Oh, he is the best girlfriend uncle Eric ever had.

Oh, wait, wait, wait. What? What is it?

You and I have been here before and we keep coming back here because there’s an undeniable attraction between. Yes, but it doesn’t mean we should give into it. Why not be be? Because look, the, we use this as a distraction for what we really want and can’t have. I mean, look at last time I was trying to forget about Rafe and you were trying to get over Sammy, and we did both of those things.

Isn’t that something we should celebrate for you baby? Eugene, stop please. For me, it’s, it’s the same tactic. Different guy. Eric, again, do I need to remind you that he’s not having a moment or whatever other jargon you used? He’s moved on. No, he’s not. Bloody hell, Nicole, while you are here mooning over him, he’s probably making passionate love to Sloane Peterson.

Sloan Peterson. You left my kid with Sloane Peterson. What? Are you nuts? Rachel was fine. She and Sloan hit it off immediately. Dude, you did not tell me that you were gonna bring Sloan into this. How do you know that you can trust your lawyer? She’s my lawyer. We have attorney client privilege. Oh, that’s reassuring.

Don’t you understand that? That doesn’t mean a damn thing because she aided and abetted you in a crime.

All right, so tell me why. Why do you think Lee would do this to me? Because he found out that Rolf was keeping you alive. That, that he transplanted Jake’s heart into your chest. How, how did he find out? I don’t know. All I know is that he thought that having a damer on ice would be good leverage in a family business.

But then he fell for me and things got complicated for him. Okay. I, I, I can’t believe this Now, I don’t know Lee that well, but I cannot believe that he would go this. He changed when he met me. He was scared to death of you waking up. He thought that if you did, I’d forget all about him. So he made sure that didn’t happen.

How I pulling the plug on the machines that we’re keeping you alive.

I thought it was her. Right. What are you doing here, Jing? When I thought you said I was on my own. I know.

I thought you might not wanna be alone right now.

Come in.

You said you and Johnny drove Gabby to the airport. I thought maybe she, she didn’t get on the plane. I don’t think there was any chance of that. When we left her, she was totally determined to get this stuff.

You are saying that Lee tried to murder Stephan? Yeah. Ray arrested him tonight for it. He dragged him out of our wedding and street to headquarters. Turns out I didn’t know the man I married at all. Okay? And I am sorry about that. I am, but what do you expect me to do about it? I expect you to go get your stuff and help me go find Ralph.

Undo what he did to you. Forget it. What? I’m not going anywhere with you, Gabby. I’m staying right here with Chloe.

I had to think Va Brady, the important thing is that Rachel is happy. She’s safe and you know where she is? Yeah. She’s with a woman who has zero school. She’s not there. I, I’ve been looking everywhere. Where are you looking for her? I’m, no, I’m about to. I um, who are you calling? Brady. Our daughter is missing.

I’m calling the cops.

Eric is just using Sloan to get over. But that doesn’t mean I should use you to get over him. I use me. I’m at your disposal. I would love nothing more than to lose myself in this bed. Well then, but I okay , but it wouldn’t hurt to try restraint for once in my life. Like I, I, I’m not close to being over Eric and I’m not even divorced from ra.

I suppose I understand, and one of my top New Year’s resolutions is to stop making decisions that I will regret. You call what you do, making decisions. See, even, you know, I’m right

and if you ever. Result back to acting on the instinct. I very much hope that I’ll be there.

Oh, and by the way, when I told you that I was aware of what Lee did to dear to Stephan, I assumed you would keep that to yourself.

You’ve assumed, right. Thank you. Don’t mention it.

Goodnight, Nicole.

I know I’ve made a total mess of things.

You’re always ruthless. We’re going after something you.

I learned that at our father’s knee,

not that he’s to blame for what I’ve done. Can I ask you something?

I don’t have any more secrets Left. Let’s go for it. Did truly try to kill Stephan?

Did you not hear a word? I just said, Gabby. I heard every word of it. None of it matters to me. Part of your brain that loves me was wiped out. And you’re okay with that. Maybe you didn’t notice when you broke into this room, Gabby, but Chloe and I were kind of in the middle of something. You’d rather have sex than find out what happened to you.

We just made love for the first time, and that is a very big deal to me. That only happened because you’re not in your right mind. He’s only here with you because he doesn’t remember the part of his brain that, that, that still loves me. Is that good enough for you?

Hey, you’re, you’re not on good terms with the police right now, Chris. I don’t care. Our baby is Missy Brady. I, and why is you so damn about it? No, no, no, no. I’m just, he was here. There’s no way someone could have broken in. Oh my God. What if, what if she woke up and, and she wanted to see New Year’s Eve and she, she sleep and walked out that door?

Oh my God, yes. Yes. I wanna report

what happened,

Chris, out. I trusted you. It. I trusted you when you were in there feeding your bed. I don’t understand.

My baby girl. No, just stand by there.

I’m gonna go find Rachel. I’m gonna get her back for you. Yeah, I’m going with, I have two. Put my damn phone. What happened? It was somebody, somebody should stay here in case they contact us again. Ready? I can take my phone. I can, and I mean, I’m not gonna just sit here while a monster has our daughter.

See, lemme see,

man. Okay. Okay. We, we need, we, we need to do what, what, what they want all. We’ll do what they want. And you, I need you to stay here, okay? Short. Okay. Alright. Find her. I’m gonna find her and we’re gonna bring her home safely. Okay.

Hate this. I don’t like it either. I prefer to watch my mom get sick of we die this time. She could do something crazy right now. Hey, I know what she’s capable of. You said Kristen got arrested for what I found out at the wedding. That Kristen and Lee Shin got Rolf to brainwash Stephan into wanting Chloe and hating Gabby.

Are you kidding me? And that’s why he is with Chloe now. She wanted Chloe out of my life. She found a way to make it happen. And the police know now. Yeah, everyone at the wedding knows now. Kristin, you go back to prison. I don’t know what she’s gonna do next, man. Listen, I’m gonna go check on Rachel and make sure she’s okay.

You should check on her because I don’t like the fact that she’s with Sloane Peterson right now. Okay. You go back inside and keep an eye on Kristen. What am I gonna tell her? Why did I come back so quick? I don’t know. Go get for a support. Be United Front. I don’t know. Some balone like that. Plea guilty or desperate?

Not guilty and desperate. Okay. Yeah, it’s not a stretch for me right now. Okay. I’ll go down to the garage with you and I’ll come right back up. All right, good. Because you need to convince Kristen that this is for. I’m gonna do whatever I have to do. I want that bitch out of all of our lives.

Oh, I was just about to, uh, have a toast with your grandfather’s ghost, but you’re a much better company. If you’d care to join me, why not? Your usual. Sure.

Thank you.

Happy New Year. Same to you.

Hi. So did you get Gabby to the airport on time? Yeah. Yep. She, uh, just barely made her flight. She’s. I’s probably in Miami right now. Could even be with Stephan telling him everything. Well, I’m more concerned with what Lee is telling the police. I hope he’s upset over Gabby than causing to spill his guts.

Yeah. And uh, tell Rafe that you knew your brother was brainwashed and did nothing about it. Yes. That, yeah. Well, you are in luck, Lee’s not with the police. They had to let him and on Kristin.

Yep. The only person with him now is Wendy.

I went to Rolf’s lab to get a look at

the love of Gabby’s life.

Ste was just lying there. Help. For all intents and purposes, he’d been dead four years.

I wanted him to stay that way because I was so in love with Gabby, and I knew if Stefan came back, I’d loser to it

and I saw the plug. To the machine that was technically keeping me on alive.

It was all that stood in between me and what I wanted more than I’ve ever wanted anything.

You think I’m a monster, don’t you?

Anything that you think is real between you and Stefan isn’t. He was programmed to be repulsed by me and attracted to you. Do not listen to her. Chloe. No. And aren’t you still on the rebound from Brady? I mean, come on, do yourself a favor. Just get dressed and get out of here. You what? The only one who’s leaving here, Gabby, is you.

What the hell are you doing? Chloe and I came here to spend New Year’s Eve together alone, and that’s exactly what we’re gonna do. That is not gonna make a difference though, because I know the truth and so to you.

Oh my God, you’re back so fast. Did you find something out? Oh, Eric is out there looking. I decided to stay with you. You know, just in case there’s a ransom. Oh my God. I was, Kristen. I was worried. I was worried about you. I don’t, I don’t think you should be alone right now. Thank you.

I, I never expected any of this to happen. I don’t, nothing. Of course she didn’t. I mean, neither did I. We do this. Who would take your sweet baby? Girl?

Good. You gotta just sleep. Finally. God, I spent my New Years watching cartoons. Do you know how boring and stupid those things are? I’m sorry. I thought we were gonna ring in the new year together. And instead I spent my New Year’s emergency babysitting. Hmm. At least it’s over. Actually. It wasn’t a babysitting emergency.

What do you mean something I didn’t tell you?

You think I’m going anywhere? You, you better think. If she doesn’t stop, I will call the front desk and have them send security out here.

Okay. I guess,

come on, where were we?

A message from me. This on will be good.

You hungry? I’m starving. We could order some more room service. Stephan, your ex-wife just showed up here and told you that Ralph literally got inside your head and turned off your feelings for her, and then he brainwashed you into wanting to be with me and you’re talking about food. Okay. I’m actually trying to forget that she was even here.

Are you not even a bit curious about what happened to you? I have heard so many versions of the same damn story and I don’t care. Look, Gabby just married Lee, maybe she’s realizing what a terrible mistake she made. She seemed pretty sure about you. I don’t care how she feels about me, I can’t stand the side of her.

You and I just made love for the first. And that is what is important to me tonight.

I know that you’re the one I wanna be with, and I’m praying you feel the same way.

I asked you a question, do you think I’m a monster? Stephan’s still alive, so I’m hoping that means you plucked him back. Actually, the alarm went off right when Kristen got there. She did the re plugging. So you would’ve let him die. I, I, I don’t know. In retrospect, I’m, I’m glad she showed up. I think I was alone in a room with Stephan and I temporarily lost my mind.

What is that? What your lawyer’s gonna tell the cops?

I am not the nicest guy in the world, jingly, but I’m no killer.

So what happens now,

the police Gabby’s brother, he’s out to get me. If Ray Fernandez figures out that you and Johnny knew about. He’ll want you to corroborate Gabby’s account. It sounds like you’re asking me to lie for you. I dunno if I can do that.

This is Gabby,

Gabby. Thank you so much for calling me back. Well, I was hoping you wouldn’t answer because you’ve been locked up. Your brother let Kristen AMI go. He doesn’t have any proof that I did anything wrong. Well, I don’t need proof cuz I know what you did and I hate you for it. If it’s the last thing I do, I’m gonna make you pay.

Okay. How can I convince you? And I got over Gabby on my own. Huh? I don’t know. But I am going to have to be convinced. Then I will do just that.

What, well, you said before that you would get your own room and I think that right now is a good idea.

That’s what you want. That’s what I’ll do.

Oh, I’m one more thing before I hang up on you forever. I’m in Miami right now and I talk to Stephan. Does does he? Does he remember how he felt about you? No, not yet. But he’ll come around. All your tricks, all your efforts to make and forget. It’s all for nothing because seven will love me again. Damnit. He will.

If we don’t find her, Brady, I don’t wanna go on living. I know. No stuff done. We’re gonna get her back. Rachel’s fine.

How do you know that? I just know. Will you keep telling me that please.

Yeah. Yeah.

Kristen’s kid. How can you, my Christy, in my mother’s life in her hand, what vulnerable spot in her life is Rachel. I’m just hoping she won’t take very long to give. How do I get the sense that you’re enjoying this? Kristen ruined my life a few years ago, and if I told you some of the things that she did to people I care about, you wouldn’t even believe me.

So I really don’t care if she suffers one moment, especially if it makes her do the right thing.

As far as I know, Lee kept you out of this. RA won’t let this one go. He’ll come sniffing around here eventually. Yeah. Well I’m not gonna tell him anything. Or Uncle Stephan. I very much appreciate that. Yeah. I know how much you and Wendy didn’t like keeping this secret. Yeah, yeah. We are both glad that that’s over.

So what is going on between you and Wendy? Oh, that is, None of your business. So there is something. Ah, we’ll, uh, we’ll see what happens in the new year. What about you and Nicole? We’ll see what happens in the new year.

You can take off. I wouldn’t want you to hang around with a guy who’s ruined everything for himself

at least. Do you see that? Now? That’s something

I have nothing left.

What? My chopped liver.

You my big brother. You drive me crazy.

No matter what you do. I will always love you.

You sure about this?

After tonight? I’m, I don’t know. I’m not sure about anything. Well, except that I did have a really nice. New Year’s Eve with you, so thank you. What’s the best night I can.

Thank God you believe me. Oh, I can’t wait to see the look on wall’s face. Get the hell outta my way.

It’ll. It’s just gonna take some time. It’ll.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh yeah, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I, I can’t do this. It was you, you told Ralph to brainwash seven. You’re hallucinating that she must be, imagine you doing something underhanded. The question is, why would you do this to Stephan? It’s because, uh, it’s because. Kristen, why she was hoping, so did step Chloe. He would come between her and Brady.

She could have Brady alter herself. Oh my God. It’s because she wanted to break up you and Chloe. Ask a stupid question and your believer, you can’t claim it’s outta character. You know what I’ll admit, I was at Rolf’s lab when Stephan woke up, but uh, if Rolf did brainwash him, it wasn’t my idea. And whose was it?

Yes, that’s what she wanted. Wait, what does that mean? Kristen wanted to break up Brady and Chloe, but your fiance wanted to protect his investment with Lee, the . He knew everything. He knew all along. I had stuff on ice. I put the brainwashing . It was his idea,

Gabby. Oh my God. It was you. This was your idea. You did this.

I’m, I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry. Don’t be, it wasn’t fair to you. Chloe, here’s a fun thing that we have in common. All right. Listen, you and I, we both just had our lives turned upside down, right? I’m not dead anymore, at least I don’t think so. And you’re not with Brady. We would be idiots. To expect ourselves to be rational or, or fair or in any way, shape, or form predictable.

I was never really rational to begin with. Still, what I mean is when you pulled back just a minute ago, that wasn’t a conscious choice, right? No. Okay, so then maybe both of us should just let it go. It doesn’t matter. There’s only one thing that matters to me right now. And What’s that?

Me? What are you talking about? Don’t lie to me anymore. Okay. I, I remember, I know Wolf admitted that this was all your.

So you’re right. Ste was brainwashed. That’s why he hated me because Ralph made him hate me. He admitted it, but that doesn’t make any sense. Why would he incriminate himself like that? Because I had a scalpel to his throat and he admitted that it was all your idea. Gabby, you’re mistaken. He had to say that to keep you from killing.

I could never do something like that to you. Please believe me. I could never betray you like that. No. No. Lee wouldn’t do that. Come now, do you think he’s too high minded? No, he wouldn’t do that to me. But he did do that to you. He wants you to himself. He did want to risk losing you to Stephan to the extent that he tried to murder him in his sleep.

What?

You didn’t just try to brainwash Stephan, you, you tried to kill him. What? Yes. Rolf admitted that too, that you tried to kill Stephan in his sleep. You tried to murder the man that I love.

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

man. He never learns. I know what’s wrong, but I understand why that coyote hates that. Mommy said he should get his explosives from another company. Yeah, she would know. Okay. Open your mouth. A bigger pardon? Let’s see if I can get this in your mouth. Take your best shot. Come on. That’s the wrong direction.

You’re in a good mood, Uhhuh. I still miss mommy and daddy, but now I know they’re getting back together. Why would you think that? Because they went to a party tonight, sweetheart. Just because your mommy and daddy are hanging out together doesn’t mean they’re gonna get back together. I don’t know that that’s what daddy says, but it’s New Year’s Eve, so So that means at midnight they’ll have to kiss.

And when Rolf wouldn’t let you kill him, you took over his mind and you knew I loved him and you lied to me over and over and over. They say the first five minutes are the hardest. You okay? You want to go home? Rolf told me what you tried to do to Stephan. He was just lying in that bed defenseless, Gabby, you can’t believe I do something like that.

It must be some kind of false memory. How could it be false? Because you told me yourself when you came back from seeing Wolf, you told me he told you that he, he hadn’t brainwashed stuff and then you believed him. Ra, you were there. She, that’s what she said, isn’t it? Yeah. And it seemed weird to me is why would anyone, especially Gabby ever believe anything that RAW says something?

I don’t know. Something happened, so. Must have because that didn’t happen. I didn’t try to murder Stephan, and if I really did, why didn’t you remember before now?

Okay. Okay. Look, I I can’t think about all of that right now. Right now, what is important is for you to, to take it back. Look brainwashing. Oh, funny you should say that as it happens, I’ve already created an antidote in that box. Wouldn’t it have been ironic in your fury you had destroyed it too?

And Stephan will be back to normal.

What you do?

What was that?

Because he injected me with something. What something that made me forget what you did to Stephan, but I remember now. I remember all of it.

I just wanna make sure that we can remain friends. Are you kidding? Of course. And Steph and I am, I’m so grateful to you for everything and for Pull this evening out of the fire . And I guess it’s gonna sound a bit odd in this moment, but I was really having a good time and I didn’t wanna spoil the evening.

Hey, you didn’t. All right. Look, maybe it was my fault. Maybe I came on too strong. You know, I’m not a fast No, uh, Uhuh. No. If I can’t be sorry, then you can’t either. A no fault kind of friendship then Sounds good to me.

And we’re supposed to be honest with each other, right? Yeah. Okay. Well then, um, this might sound a little bit strange also because it is strange, but, um, I was wondering if we could have that dessert now.

Woman after my own heart.

How could you do this to me? I, I trusted you. I believed you when you told me you love me. I married you for God’s sake. Kathy, let’s just go somewhere. We can talk. Don’t touch. Okay, fine. But we can’t talk about this here with all these people. Okay. Come on. We can work this out, please. I’m not going anywhere.

Neither are you. Miss Damira.

You got us three

here. I win. What again?

I owe you $342,000. Cleric. Hmm. Why are you here? What do you mean I’m babysitting you? Didn’t you wanna go to a party too? Wouldn’t you be more fun than playing Go fish here with me.

I know it sounds crazy, but you imagine you showing up with a shit devil on your altar and I kidnap the thing that she loves the most. Her daughter, she can’t fail. You know, it’s funny you should ask, I was gonna ask you if you’d like to join me on an a. What kind of adventure? Well, it’s kind of top secret.

What do you think you’re doing? My job, you know, this is ludicrous. She’s right. You were really gonna arrest us. Yeah. Based solely on the recovered, perhaps fabricated memory of clearly an unstable woman. I mean, come on, look at her dress. I mean, it alone proves I thought she’s not in her right mind. I’d be careful the way you talk to my sister and to me.

Well, I refuse. Your choice. Of course not whether you’re going to the station, but how

you want me to read you your rights or do you have them memorized from all your other Salem weddings?

Ra ra. Hey, come on. Is this really necessary? Oh, I think it’s best. We both do this by the book. You be okay? Yeah, I’ll be fine. Just get him out of my sight.

Uh, Brady. Sweetheart, are you coming for the water?

That was delicious. Hmm. And what do you say we get outta here? You mean back to Salem? No, I mean, let’s go out, get crazy. Stefan, you’re being really sweet, but you don’t have to pretend. I know that Chloe, I did not bring you to Miami to sleep with you. I brought you here to start the new year together.

There’s still a few hours left. Miami has some of the best nightclubs in the world, so what do you say? Let’s go dancing. Huh? Wait, you dance. I hope that’s not a rhetorical question. Science, you’re obviously dressed for it. You sure you wanna go? Absolut? But look, if you’d rather stay here, watch the ball drop.

I am more than okay with that. I just want to be with you. Shall we? We shall. Ah. Oh wait. We do not wanna waste this. All right. Okay. Hey, happy New Year. All right for you. Thank you. You’re welcome. And for me

to the new year, aren’t we supposed to wait till midnight to say that close enough? Besides new beginning, can’t come soon enough.

I don’t, please don’t try to tell me that I’m wrong about your brother. That I don’t know what I know I wasn’t going to, oh, oh, you probably don’t believe me actually. I do Really, I mean, I just, I I just said your brother tried to murder somebody. I, I’m, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Your brother will sort that out.

You let me get you home. No, I need to find Stephan. I need, dude, do you still have my phone? Yeah.

Says here, Miami gets crazy on New Year’s Eve. You ready for crazy? I mean, I am from Salem, aren’t I? ? Touche. That place looks good,

so I can’t tell anybody. Not even. Well, we can tell her afterwards. It’s kind of like a surprise for her. Hey. Hey. Where are you? Mom’s place. Okay, good. You haven’t left yet. I’m listening about the plan. Hey, ready to calm down? Everything’s fine. We we’re about ready to go. Yeah. Listen, we need to put the brakes.

Hey, this is not the time we get cold feet. No. Listen. It’s not that there’s been an unexpected development. Kristen’s been arrested.

Brave. Don’t you think you should be seeing about Gabby instead of throwing your weight around? She’s falling apart. Oh, she’s not falling apart. She upset. Oh yeah. Hell yeah. Because the man she just married tried to play God with her life. Oh, so now you are the cop, the judge, and the jury. All right. I have been listening to you very closely, and you have not said one word about lawyers because there haven’t been any charges.

This is just a preliminary investigation, although there have been some very serious charges about both of you, so we need to do a follow up and as a means. To that end, you are gonna write down your entire history with Dr. Rolfe and everything that you have done to Stefan Dira. You too. Hmm. Well that will be a very short essay as I have done nothing but rejoice in his returned from the dead.

I concur with Mr. Mera. Let along bet you do well. I don’t need to concur with Mr. Shin. I need to confer with my lawyer and I know technically you don’t have to read me my rights, but I do have the right to demand legal representation. As do I sweetheart. Is there any way a girl can get a drink around here?

Ready? Yeah. Thank you. Let’s go.

Anything voicemail. Uh, Stefan, it’s Gabby. Call me. It’s urgent. I swear to,

well, now the Gabby’s remembered. It’s only a matter of time. False. Stephan learns the truth. Yeah, I don’t see Gabby keeping this to herself

from what she was saying. Ralph told her about Lee and Kristin. She doesn’t seem to know that then she knew everything. That’s right. I’ve given everything that’s crashing down on her. I don’t think there’s any need for her to find that out. Of course, we just wanna do what’s best for Gabby. Don’t me. I mean, that’s why you want me to keep quiet for Gabby obvious.

Obviously I don’t want anyone to know, especially Stephan, but if you think it’s necessary, all that’s up to you. My fate, as they say, is in your hands. I bet you hate that quite a bit.

Wendy’s brother is the one who started all this. I, I don’t see a reason for you to be arrested to Thank you.

I can’t just stand around waiting. I, I have to find Stephan. I’ll take you to the mansion. No, he’s not there. He went to Miami with Chloe. Wait, Nicole, you’re friends with Chloe. Did she tell you where she was staying?

She’s at the Fountain Head Hotel. Only remember, cuz she sent me pictures. Thank you. I just, I have to go to the airport. We’ll, we’ll drive you. We’ll drive. Okay. I have to call son. Um, Hey listen, I’m on the way to the airport. I’m gonna be in Miami.

Chloe is gonna have one heck of a new.

You know, tonight it just goes to show that in Salem making it through the vows does not mean you are home free. You seem to be taking this since tried disastrous weddings apart for the course in this town. I am mean. You don’t seem very taken aback that Lee had. Your brother brainwashed. When one’s father is turned into a computer chip one develops a certain level of Imperturbability.

That’s hard to say. Yeah. Anyway, police are handling it. What else can I do? Fire Lee. He had your brother brainwashed after he didn’t succeed in killing him according to Gabby. Anyway, the question is moot. His father is chairman of the board. This is your family’s company, and Lee tried to murder a member of that family.

I don’t think it’s a hard sell to send and packing. It’s not that simple. Aren’t you angry? Don’t you wanna take him? As I said, it’s not that simple. Why not?

Unless it’s because he could take you down with him.

Kristen has chance lawyering with them? Not yet. Really. I know it’s a holiday, but I figured with their money in history, they’d have hot and cold running. They do. I haven’t let ’em call ’em. Really? They clearly said they wanted representation. I know, but can’t always get what you want.

How long are they gonna keep us waiting? Just relax. Would you? I mean, grave is gonna keep us here as long as possible, but he knows he needs to let us call our lawyers. You think he’s gonna keep us here all night? Yeah, probably. Hey, you do understand that uh, he’s gonna play hardball. You are wrong. His sister, I love his.

Damn it. I, I, I have to get outta here. I have to get to Gabby

The third is, fuck,

you’re shivering. Must be freezing. We’re in such a hurry. I didn’t even have a chance to put it on. Gabby made her flight. Yeah, with, uh, seconds to spare, there was no stopping her. What the hell’s gonna happen when she gets there?

Step open up. Look, I know you’re in there and I know you’re with Chloe, but we have to talk

one way or another. I

Why would you say that? Because you’re just like your father. And nothing goes on in this family, whether it be business or personal that you don’t know about. So when you went over to Johnny after Gabby made her big announcement, you weren’t talking about the canopies.

You know me so well. Mm-hmm. . So what’d you do? Did you hold down Stephan while Ralph went to work? I didn’t do anything. I had no idea what Lee was up to until after the fact, but I, I chose to keep quiet after what Lee did to your brother. You chose to keep quiet. Why? Well, I didn’t know until tonight that Lee tried to kill him and they had already, um, redirected Stephan’s affections from Gabby to Chloe, so it was a moot.

And I wanted Stephan on my side, so I would have enough votes to ask Gabby from Damira.

You probably think I’m a terrible person now, don’t you?

Sorry. Take, uh, take your time. Okay. You. Got a lot to process.

Well, this time feeling horrible about not telling Tappy Whitley had done, but it all came out anyway. Yeah. Hey, at least we didn’t have to be the ones to say it.

You almost did, didn’t you? You were about to stop the whole. I was, because when I saw a Gabby standing there about to marry a man who was lied to her, manipulated her, I didn’t know if I could live with myself if I speak up. Then I saw my brother’s face and I realized how much he loves Gabby and I, I, I couldn’t go through with it.

I.

But just as I said, it all came out anyway even more than we knew.

Do you think it’s true? But we really did try to murder stuff. I don’t know. I don’t know.

Please God, don’t let a.

You know, winching when told the justice of the peace that she had something to say, thought it was all over then, but for some reason she changed her mind. Hmm. Probably realized what outing you would do to the Shin Dynasty Fortune Truth that would cost her Cold Hawk cash. You’re completely cynical, aren’t you?

Okay. She was protecting her big brother who she adores. Does that sound better to you? None of it matters. Since the fact that, uh, your little bride remembered her encounter with the man that you hired to dry clean her husband’s brain, it, it doesn’t make any sense. H h h how could her memory come back like that?

And, and why didn’t Ralph get what? Ralph kept calling. I couldn’t talk to him. Ra was there. I I, I, I had to hang up on him. Do you think he was trying to warn me? I mean, would it have made a difference? , come on, Lee Gabby’s memory came back and your brother-in-law is the police commissioner and he’s very fierce about his family.

I’m not sure this is a good idea. The only thing we have right now is what Gabby said she remembered. And the longer we hold them here without just cause and more likely we’ll have their attorney screaming false. Cause Paul Kings can go up and smoke. That’s right. It is. Mm-hmm. . We’re gonna have to let ’em go.

So why the delay? Well, think about it from their point of view. They’re in there thinking that we’re out here feverishly scrambling to get a. And when we let ’em go, they’re gonna think that we weren’t able to make the case that we backed down and the leave here with a false sense of purity. Yeah. Hmm.

Although, uh, as dramatic as it was, I wish Gabby hadn’t been so public with her accusations that Lee and Kristen still think that they had gotten away with everything. At least we’re able to nail down the warrant.

Well, I would say that they have been in there long enough. First thing, tomorrow morning, I start building a case against Mr. Lee Shin. Put him away for a very, very long time.

So what is going on? We’re letting them go. You and Miss America can still ring in the new year together. It’s enjoy.

Eric hates me. The plan’s back on

Okay. I gotta admit that is some of the most fun I’ve had in a really long time. Right. I agree. Mike, thank you for picking up the ride share, by the way. I can’t believe I forgot my, keep kidding me. Don’t worry about.

There’s something wrong

Message from Gabby

ej Aaron, wait. What you did doesn’t change my impression of you in any. I’ve always thought you were a terrible person.

Well, I think that I’m a terrible person too, so maybe that’s why we get along so well. We do, don’t we? You and I don’t have to maintain any illusions of anything at all. Yeah, . But we’re not really the same. In your very own perverse, opaque way, you’re actually a very decent person. None of my other ex-husbands would agree with you on that.

Well, none of your other ex-husbands deserved you. Aw. It’s your humility that melts my heart. EJ . So how long has Johnny known.

Are you cla vo ? Uh, well, I’m no genius, but as Gabby spilled the beans, you went straight to Johnny. No. Sounds like damage control to me. He knew that I knew. I asked him not to give me away and he promise not to say anything, but none of it matters anyway. It’s only a matter of time before Stephan finds out everything and not much time at that.

Since I told Gabby where he and Chloe are staying, I, oh, I’m so sorry.

Something funny . I was just thinking. Miami is going to see some real fireworks tonight.

I keep thinking fine. Not all of what Lee did couldn’t have kept a secret, but now

gwe, I I thought you were at the police station. They let me go. Do, do you know where Gabby is? I have to talk to her. You. Who took us to the airport? She went to Miami to find stuff. Why would Gabby be calling you don’t know. Don’t care. Probably a gloat about the wedding.

All right. It’s getting late. I’m gonna go downstairs, check about booking another room. You don’t have to do that, Chloe. Seriously, I, I don’t. No, I wanna stay. Really, really, I had a really amazing night with you, and I don’t want this night to end.

She went to Miami. I imagine she feels that s Stephan has a right to know what happened to. What do you to Tim? I, I, I don’t think we have anything to talk about Lee. And for the record, from now on, you’re on your own.

You were a busy girl in 2022 coming. When you actually decided to screw with Stephan’s head, your brother’s head, did that bother you at all? I did it to be with you and Rachel, and this is before I knew anything about the orchid, right? So Stephan was just, uh, collateral damage. You know, I’m afraid that you’re gonna have to be self-righteous alone.

I’m exhausted. I’m gonna go give Rachel a kiss goodnight, and then I’m gonna head to bed myself. Tip the sitter generously. Eric’s been outta work, so, uh, I think we can use.

Want me to take you home? Yeah, thanks. Okay.

And guess what? It’s uh, it’s almost.

It’s just about midnight. One, two. Watch the countdown. Uh, yeah. Why not?

Well, for the bitter end, it’s been one hell of a year. Yeah. Next year has to be better. No way to go but up.

Happy year. Happy New Year.

It’s midnight. Happy New Year, Jada. Happy New Year, Ray.

Uh, happy New Year. Happy new.

I have to say I like the way this New Year’s starting out. Me too. That seems like you were more ready to move on from Brady than you thought. Huh? Brady? Who?

Brady, Rachel’s gone.

Happy New Year. Happy New Year.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Ah, wow. We went from record low temperatures in New York City to record highs in Miami. I’m melting in these clothes. Well, only one solution to that problem. Take ’em off.

You. Okay? I wanna be, but for no reason at all. I have a raging case of pre-warning jitters, shorts of breath and shaky hands. Intonations of doom. Here. Sit down. Um, it doesn’t make any sense. I mean, I’ve been married before. It’s not like I’m afraid of the wedding night. What am I even doing? I’m supposed to be getting Ari some tea.

Sit. I’ll get it. Thank you.

So, um, are the nerves you have in general or is there something particular you’re worried about? I don’t know. I just. You can’t shake the feeling like something’s gonna go horribly wrong.

Hey, her, it’s uh, it’s Brady. Listen, Chris and I are gonna leave in a couple of minutes plan to keep her at the reception at least until midnight. So that should give you more than enough time to get Rachel out. I hope we’re doing the right thing, man.

Kristen, uh, we we should get going.

What? Why don’t you dress for the wedding? I’m not going.

Hi. I’m sorry I’m late. My hair wasn’t cooperating. It’s fine. In fact, Gabby better watch out. You can upstage the pride.

Why do you feel like something’s going to go wrong? I don’t know.

How are you having second thoughts? Do you think you’re making a mistake? No. No, no, no, no. I, I love Lee very much and I’m very happy. It’s just, it’s just been a crazy couple of months and maybe I feel like I don’t deserve to be happy.

I think you do. I think my brother is a very lucky man. Thank you. Yeah, I’m just being weird. Uh, and it doesn’t help that Ari’s. Only wired and maybe this will calmer down.

Hello. Hey, uh, what color is your. Why? Well, I’m trying to, I got a tie. Johnny, just pick one you like, okay. I’m sure it’ll be fine. You sound strange. You okay? I suppose I should have turned down the champagne. Champagne. Gabby started the party pretty early and she’s lots of fun, but I was already a bundle of nerves and now she is too.

Really? I think deep down she’s having doubts about marrying Lee. Did. You, did? Did you say something? No, I didn’t say something, but I’m having a harder time than ever knowing that I’m keeping a secret from the bride.

Hey, Lee, your phones ring in.

Supposed to be checking in. Yes. Hello. Oh, Mr. Shin. Visit Dr. Behem. Rolf

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

What do you mean you’re not going to the wedding? Well, I’m not gonna leave Rachel alone. I, I just saw John and Marlena driving off. I forgot to tell you. Okay. I, I felt bad. They love going out on New Year’s Eve, so I just asked Eric to come babysit instead. I see you without asking me if it was okay. Eric is great with kids and honestly, he was the only person that, uh, I could find that didn’t have anything going on tonight.

I think he was grateful to have something to do, so it all worked out, right? Mm-hmm. , I guess, seems to me like you went through a lot of trouble, so I could go to this wedding with you. Well, like I said, I have expected you to force me to go with you. And remind me that you have Marlena’s life in your hands.

So I guess I thought I would just have a better time if it was my idea. Huh?

Are you sure? That’s all it is.

Thank you. But the last thing I wanna do is upstage Gabby at her own wedding. I’m that thoughtful view. No, it’s self-protection cuz I sure as hell don’t want to draw her fire. She’s already ticked off that. Lee invited me after how I treated her brother. Ah, from Lee’s point of view, it would’ve been bad form to snap the mirror leadership, but as you know, Gabby feels the same way about me.

So we can be prized together, we’re heading to the same place. I’d be happy to give you a lift. Thanks. That that’s, that’s kind of you but it, it’s, it’s not necessary. Think of our carbon footprints and you might need someone to help you cut your rubber chicken. . I’ll have you know that my left-handed you pencil skills have gotten better.

Mm-hmm. . But there’s one thing I could use your help with that. Can you sit me up? I thought you’d never asked.

Mr. Shin? No, this isn’t Mr. Shin. This is Commissioner Ray Fernandez. Oh, ah. I’m curious as to what business you have with Lee. Is that the j? No, it’s Dr. Rolf. He wants to speak to you.

Sorry. Gotta go.

So are you ready for me to help you get ready? Well, that can wait. I mean, I just heard you on the phone. Exactly. What secret have you been keeping from me?

What are you doing in the tux? I could ask you the same thing. Where you going to see Lee Shin shackle himself to Gabby Hernandez? It’s a grim prospect, but at least I get to celebrate that her last name will no longer be Damira. How about you? Uh, . I’m going to Wendy ask me, you two are planning on making something seen.

Are you? How many times we have to promise you, we are not going to tell anyone that. You know, Dr. Roth brainwashed Uncle Stephan, you know, given Stefan’s emotional depth, I think a light rinse could have done the trick. . That’s, that’s so funny. Dad, this whole thing is just so hilarious.

I’m finally ready. You know one too. We’ll be representing Damira Enterprises. Yep. A break. You know what? Nevermind. I’m sorry. Don’t be. Yes, Rafe is gonna be there. So you imagine how thrilled I am about going . But Johnny, you look fabulous. Got big plans tonight. Johnny will also be attending the wedding. Oh, as Wendy Shin’s date.

Wendy is. Gabby’s made of honor, so she’s getting ready with her. Hey, do you guys mind if I snug a ride? Not at all. The more the merrier, you know, I think this wedding is going to be a perfect ending to a rather ghastly year.

How the hell did you get this number? You gave it to me. I didn’t think you’d be so foolish just to allow someone else to answer your phone. What do you want? I’ve been collecting some new data and there’s something very important that you should know. It’s my wedding day and I’m not about to talk business with anyone.

Let alone you. Goodbye and don’t call back the nerve of that man. He said he wants Dara to fund his new lab. Turn him down flat. Don’t want anything more to do with. They’re all bet, especially considering he brought Gabby’s ex-husband back from the dead. I’m not threatened by Stephan. Why would I be in a couple of hours?

Gabby and I will be married.

The secret is go on.

The secret is something Lee’s been planning for your wedding night. I’ve been helping him with it. Gabby, you kill me if he found out I ruined it. So could you just forget you heard anything? No problem. I can’t wait to see what it is. , neither can I Actually, the reason I came down here was to give you this, you know, for putting up with my bride SIL aways with a smile.

Thank you.

It’s beautiful. Why I designed it myself. Just for you. You shouldn’t have it. It’s too much. No, don’t, don’t be silly. It’s actually, let me, let me read to you the, um, inscription here. It says That translates to, um, sisters. I mean, I knew I liked you the minute I met you. Going toe to toe with Lee sticking up for yourself.

That kind of woman. You know, I, I lost my sister. How have you?

Why else would I ask you to go with me to the. I dunno. Maybe there’s a part of you that wants to walk in with me on your arm. Christ. Hmm. Oh, maybe not a conscious part. I mean, you did kiss a nun thinking it was me. Hmm. And now that Chloe is. Off in Miami with Stephan and she made it a big point to move on.

Maybe you’re, uh, realizing it’s time to look to the future with me.

Uh, take off my clothes. I’m stuck. You know, we haven’t really had a chance. anything right today, which is why I was suggesting that we get out of our clothes into something fancy. We can go have a nice dinner and. See where the night takes us. Oh, I like the sound of that. Hmm.

Ariana just started drawing up. Yeah. I mean, I should have known it was more than just nerves. There’s been a stomach virus going around. I mean, I can’t leave her here. I can’t take her to the wedding. I don’t know what I’m gonna do.

Wow. Wow. You, you look great . Uh, sorry that that was, uh, too much. I thought it came across as nice, flattering because you know, normally you’re, you’re not chasing after criminals in four inch heels and you look, I mean, you know, you always look, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Um, and if it’s not too inappropriate, I would like to say that you don’t look half bad yourself.

Uh, thanks . So I, I’m glad you, uh, glad you’re here. This is great. And you know, it promises to be quite a party. The groom’s last name is Shin. Uh, if you like wretched excess, I do actually. Good. And it, uh, sure beats watching the ball drop, send at home alone. Eating a bag of chips. . Yeah. Well, I promise it won’t be.

Wait, this is your first Salem wedding, isn’t it? It is. I’ve never been to a Salem wedding, but I did take a two semester course, uh, for Salem weddings at the police academy. Yeah. They do tend to be high drama and high risk apparently. Yeah. Well, let’s hope tonight is the exception to that, uh, right. Yeah.

For my sister’s sake, cuz it’s been quite the rocky road to the. Yeah. Sorry to hear that. Yeah. Wow. I have a feeling it’s gonna be smooth. Saily,

shall we? Yeah.

Good. Yeah, I’m good. Yeah.

Anyone I could call to stay with Ari is already going to the wedding. I mean, who’s gonna wanna take care of a vomiting? I could stay with her. No, I wouldn’t ask that of, of you. Plus she’s probably contagious then I don’t see any other options unless, unless you post home the wedding.

I dunno why you thought you had to rush us out of the housely. No one’s here. Well, least a few people got to see you walking in on my arm. Yeah, knowing me now. Oh no. There’s always a few familiar face. Hey. Hi. Hi. How are you feeling? Uh, you know, I’m, I’m, I’m much better and I’ll be getting back to work after the holidays.

Kristen, you and Brady look so domestic together, or is it just that Brady looks so domesticated? , you know, at first I felt, um, That you excluded me from your mother’s funeral, but it looks like I dodged a bullet or a bomb

It’s always about you, isn’t it? Come on, Nicole, let’s go grab a drink, all three. I.

Hi, is this on my son? People get a little touchy sometimes when you make jokes about their dead mother. Mm-hmm. such thin skin. No. Let’s find our seats. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. I promised Rachel that I was going to take a picture of us in our fancy outfits at Fancy Wedding. Okay.

Smile.

What’s this? Well, I figured we were both pretty hungry and maybe a little bit tired, so I thought we would eat first and then God, after a man after my own heart. This looks amazing. Good. Turns out I’m an expert at ordering room service. So why don’t you relax, take a load off. I will Open the wine and light the candles.

Hmm. Delicious. And why you do that? I’m gonna check to see that my mother didn’t post any mortifying pictures of US ice skating mortifying. Come on. Thought we were poetry in mosh.

Thank you.

Oh, this could be uncomfortable.

Um, I think I need a refill.

Are you okay? Yeah, yeah. No, I’m fine. Just didn’t expect her to be here. You okay? I don’t blame the pool for what happened between me and Eric. I just blame her for being a line manipulative. You know what? I’m not even gonna say it. No, no, no, no, no. Go ahead. Because, you know, Cole’s been, uh, saying that her living situation with EJ is purely Potoma, but here they are at my sister’s wedding as a couple, wherever she leaves, her hat is home.

Mm-hmm. . Okay. I’m officially freaking out. Okay. What’s wrong? Gabby’s not here yet. I haven’t heard from her. What if she got cold feet? Postpone. Well, if your daughter couldn’t be there, I’m sure Lee would understand

dinner is served. What’s wrong? Nothing. It’s stupid. I just saw a picture of Brady and Kristen at the wedding. When I ran into Kristen a few days ago. She said that they were getting closer and I just assumed that she was lying. Anyway, the moral of this story is I really should unfollow Brady. Sounds like a plan.

Sorry. You’re. Me too.

Wonder how Stephan and Chloe are enjoying Miami. I mean, this is a big milestone for them. It’s not like they haven’t slept together before. You just love rubbing salt into a womb, don’t you? I wouldn’t say that. It’s kind of pathetic if you ask me. Yeah, you’ve managed to screw up my life seven ways from Sunday, but just because you’ve temporarily derailed Chloe and me doesn’t mean you’re gonna keep us away from each other forever.

Forever. Hmm. Well, she’s with Stephan now. You’re just gonna have to accept that Brady. Yeah. Well, I won’t soon. You’ll have to accept it.

Hmm. Accept. Nothing. Nothing at all.

What’s going on? What’s Gary? We had a little problem. Ariana’s sick. Oh no, not tonight. We got something you to stay with her. Okay. I didn’t wanna call and panic everyone before we had it all worked out. Gabby’s in the brides room now she’s pretty on. Yeah, she’s not the only one. The groom thinks that she has cold feet.

Yeah, I bet. All right. I’m gonna go tell Lee the caveats here. Okay. Oh, hey, how you doing, John? I’m doing all right. How about you? Uh, good.

Hey, you uh, look great. Thanks. How you hanging in there? Barely hanging in there. Have you heard me on the phone with you before talking about the secret? What I, I told her it was something Lee was planning to surprise her with on her wedding night. We might have to scatter rose petals on their bed. It was Salem in.

Well, let’s just hope that she forgets about the whole thing, Johnny, maybe the universe wanted me to tell her then when I had the perfect.

Hello everyone. I want to apologize for the delay, but please take your seats. We’re about to begin.

I still melt when I see you. Smile like that.

That is a photo that you promised. You can force me to smile. Kristin, you can’t force me to love you, okay? Oh, you do Brady enough? Smile is not forced. And see, our body language is not forced. You’re delusional. Okay? It’s not a picture of two people having fun at a wedding that’s a picture of a black male or her victim.

I am not having any fun. I’m gonna go ring in the new year with someone who appreciates me, like our daughter. Don’t, don’t go you. You can’t.

I’m, I’m sorry that I keep talking about Brady. I guess I just, I still can’t understand why he left me the way that he did. I know, look, Gabby felt the same way about us. She was desperate to know why my feelings for her had changed so completely. Are you absolutely sure that you don’t wanna know?

Why shouldn’t I go home? You never wanted to come with me in the first place. Okay. Look, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. The wedding’s about to start. Please just, just sit on. I’ll make it up to you. Okay. I think you will.

Please be seated.

Dearly beloved, we are here tonight to join this man and this woman in Matri Moi. If anyone can show just cause why they may not be legally, wed speak now or forever. Hold your peace. Wait, I, I thought we took that part out.

I have something to say.

Jing, what are you doing? I, hi. Hi, ej. Are you.

I just wanna say how happy I am for my brother and Gabby. I always wanted to pick sister. I couldn’t ask for a better one.

That might have been more appropriately said as a Toast Jing, we. That was lovely. Thank you, . Thank you. She always has to be so harsh on her. Give her a break. Sorry. It was a force of heaven. It was lovely. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sorry.

Back to the script. Back to the script.

Lee, do you take Gabriela to be a wife, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, to keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others for as long as you both shall. I do.

Gabby and I had a very complicated relationship at best, and we spent most of our time hating each other. Even our marriage was a ploy for her to hang on to power at Demer and look who she’s marrying.

You know, maybe a little time and perspective is exactly what I needed to realize. Just how damn toxic she is. I’ve never heard being dead called time and perspective before . Touche. But look, bottom line, I’m glad she’s moved on and I am even more glad that I’ve moved on too Now. Moved back. Because leaving you for Gabby, that’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done in my life, and I’m certain that it’s a mistake I’m not gonna make again.

Do you take Lee to be your husband, to love him? To honor. To comfort him in sickness and in health for seeking all others for as long as you both shall live. Yes, I do.

Do you take Lee to be your husband? Uh, I’m so sorry. Yes. Yes. I, I do, of course. Of course I do.

And now, By the power of vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife Lee. You make his the bride.

Well, Wendy has already given her a toast. I think it’s my turn. Lee, I wanna welcome you to our family. I think it’s great that you and Gabby have worked together, so you already know that she is fierce and determined in business, which is kind of an understatement, , but she’s also fierce with her family and her friends and her loved one.

She will have your back. And as her brother, I can tell you there is no one else that I would rather be in the trenches with than Gabby. Now you’re fierce too, my man. You are. And I can see how much you love her. And together. I know the two of you, the two of you can get through anything, which is good because marriage, marriage can be tough at times.

Things will happen that you, uh, you just didn’t see coming, but I know together the two of you can get through anything. Cause I see how open and honest you are with each other. So whatever life throws at you, I know you will find your way.

I thought I’d turned this off,

Dr. Rolf. Dr. Roll. He called me about funding his new lab. I guess he won’t take no for an answer. I had no idea you two were even in touch.

I really wish you pick up. You need to know that. I’ve just learned c r s 17 can can bear off in their weeks with certain triggers. I hope that doesn’t happen. In Gabriela’s case. Well, dinner’s getting. I don’t know about you, but I don’t wanna spend the whole evening talking about Gabby and Brady. Yeah, sorry.

No, no. Don’t apologize. I’m just so happy to be here with you that I would much rather celebrate the new year than talk about the past works for me.

So Gabby, Did you hate my toast that much? What? Hmm? Yeah, it’s just, you seem a little distracted.

Uh, Debbie, are you all right?

Yeah. Come on, start talking because I’m not just gonna destroy everything in this box. I’m gonna destroy the entire lab. I, I, I remember what, in fact, when I went to see Ro before he left Salem.

One last chance Rolf wanted to do to Stephan. This is your carotid, isn’t it? Alright, right. Alright. You’re right. I brainwashed him. Oh man. Oh my God. He, Ralf had admitted it to me. He, he, he told me, he told me that he brainwashed Stephan, that Stephan did love me, so he made him hate me.

Well, can I introduce some dessert? Ooh, that looks really good, but I cannot eat another bite. Ah, okay, then how about something? It’s not on the menu.

Gabby, let’s go outside. We’ll get some air. Gabby. What do you mean Ralph? Brainwashed? Stephan. She’s confused. Remember Gabby? You told me yourself, Ross, and you believed him. I know, but what I remember now is different. I, when I spoke to Ralph, it’s coming back to me. You need some air? No, no.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew you mixed up and hate me. So nice that you know it. Could you move that scalpel away from my throat? Oh, no, no, no, no. I’ve noticed, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but you’re more forthcoming with a knife to your neck. But I told you what you wanted to know, and now I wanna know why do you really hate me that much?

Of course I do, but it wasn’t person. I was just, we just following orders. Kristin Dam’s orders.

It was Kristen. It was Kristen. Made him do it.

You wanna,

it was you, you told Ralph to brainwash Stephen, you’re hallucinating. Yeah, she must be, imagine you doing something underhanded. Question is, why would you do this to Stephan? Because, uh, it’s because Kristen, why? She was hoping, so did Stephan. Vanessa. Chloe, he would come between her and Brady. She could have Brady alter herself.

Oh my God. That’s because she wanted to break up. You and Chloe ask a stupid question. Can you believer you can’t claim it’s outta character? You know what I’ll admit, I was at Rolf’s lab when Stephan woke up, but uh, if Rolf did brainwash him, it wasn’t my idea then. Whose wasn’t it?

Yes. She wanted. What does that mean? Kristen wanted to break up Brady and Chloe, but your fiance wanted to protect his investment with Lee, the . He knew everything. He knew all along. I had Stephan on ice. I put the brainwashing . It was his idea.

Gabby. Oh my gosh. It was you. This was your idea. You did this.

I smell a rat. Dang, that’s harsh. All I smell bell peppers, not the food. You promise you wouldn’t go to any trouble for me today. Oh, yeah, I lied. See, here’s the thing. This is your special day and is your brother. I’m obliged to treat you like a queen, but don’t get used to it. . All right, well, you know what?

In that case, What? Is it bad? No, it’s amazing. It’s, no, it’s very rich though. It’s cheesy and buttery. That’s what makes it amazing. Yeah. I’m fattening. How am I supposed to get into my wedding dress after this meal? Okay, fine. If it bothers you that much. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t be so harsh. Bring it back.

Okay. Well, ho, hold on. I’m saying that you’re not worried about bust outta your dress. No. What’s your groom gonna say? Trust me. The man of my dreams loves me the way I am unconditionally.

So no complaints, huh? About me tagging along. I’m not tagging along. Yeah. On your Christmas visit with your mom, are you kidding me? This has been a trip of a lifetime. Yeah. It’s been pretty great for me too. And we haven’t even made it to Miami yet to ring in the new year. Mm-hmm. Which I would be really excited for.

Except I’m feeling a little bit guilty By what? Well, it is Gabby’s wedding day. I’m depriving you of the chance to be there when the justice of the peace asks if anyone objects. You kidding me? If I were there, I would be cheering at the top of my lungs throwing confetti. Those two deserve each other.

So what do you think? I think that. I, I think that I have excellent taste. . Yes, you do. It was actually my favorite Christmas present. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, I plan on wearing it during my brother’s wedding tonight. You don’t think that might, uh, I don’t know. Clash with your. Made of honor dress. Oh, it definitely will

But when I start to feel guilty about keeping these secrets, you can use it to G me and keep me quiet. Oh yeah. Every single one of them, Rachel. Yes, I know Every single new video gave me. You got a promise will play as soon as we see each other. Okay? Yeah. Hey, I’m. I love you. Okay. Bye baby. Is it Rachel?

Yeah. We had the best Christmas. It was great. Almost made me forget about this hall that Christens been putting me through. I already, you can’t forget that. You shouldn’t. The holidays are passed. Now it’s time to put that plan into. Right kid. My own daughter. Listen, it’s the only way we can force Kris’s hand.

I, I, I un, I understood. We just have to make sure that we find the right time to do it tonight. It has to be tonight.

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

Brady plans to Rachel out the town hall. We have to make him believe that we going on an adventure. Right. And since Kristen will be tied up at Gabby and Lee’s reception, it should be the perfect diversion, I guess. Exactly. But we can’t waste another minute if we’re gonna be, Chris had our own game.

Lee, it’s me. Kristen? Yes.

This is a bad time. Kristen. Oh, I’m sorry. Did I wake you? No. Okay. Whatever. What are you doing? Well I came because it’s your wedding day and uh, although our little alliance has hit some rough patches mm-hmm. , it’s paying them beautifully and I just want to wish you good luck. Thanks. I’m gonna need it.

Patience. No. Can you? None to spare. I’ve been wasting it up. Waiting for my wedding. You. Lee and I, we slept apart last night. Some a sickler for traditions. Oh yeah. You’ve been saving yourself for your wedding, huh? All right, let’s not get too crazy. Although I shouldn’t be impatient in a couple hours, I’m gonna be in front of the justice of the peace, marrying the man that I love.

Ha. What, what? What’s the look? I just hope that Lian is the man that you love.

Not that warrants mentioning, but I am glad that we got outta Salem for the holidays. Does it have anything to do with a certain wedding? Neither one of us wanna attend. That might be part. Hmm. Firstly, I could care less about that wedding. And who’s going or not going? I’m enjoying the memory of Amal and the night visitors.

Hmm. The holiday, classic and strange loop. What an amazing show. Yeah. Your mom and your sister enjoyed it too. Yeah, they did. Stephan, thank you for everything. No, you’ve, you’ve treated us like royalty. And I intend to show you how grateful I am once we get to Miami. Really, something to look forward to.

Dam it. Do what? I just realized that I promised your mom I would pick up locks and bagels from Zbars. I better get going. I could come with you. You stay here. Relax. All right. Zbars is right down the street. It won’t take long. Are you sure? I’m sure.

Good morning, mother. Good morning, daughter. Where’s s Stephan? Uh, he wanted to treat us to some breakfast before we leave. Mm-hmm. Don’t remind me I’m already missing you guys. I know. But we’ll be back to visit. Yes, and Mike and I can come to Salem to visit since we both have family there. You two seem really happy together.

We are, and so are Stephan and I, as you can clearly see. He’s a great guy, isn’t he? Well, he is extremely generous. I am. I just, I just wonder if, oh, nevermind. You can say it, mom. You know what? Actually don’t say it. I know that you were pulling for Brady and me hoping we were the real deal, and you don’t think I’m over him.

Am. Well, are you?

Yes, I’m over Brady. Why wouldn’t I be? He’s moved on with Kristen and I’ve moved on too with a wonderful guy. I mean, come on mom. Haven’t you noticed I’ve been on Cloud nine this entire. . Yes. But you were on Cloud nine with Brady not so long ago, and that’s over now. Did you not get the memo? We split up, yes.

And after you did, you rebounded and landed with Stephan so fast? It really has not been that fast. We’re we’re getting to know each other again. We’re we’re taking things slowly, meaning. meaning I don’t wanna have this discussion with my mother, . So you haven’t slept together yet, mom. Well, maybe there’s a reason for that, a reason that you haven’t done that.

Chloe, yes. Brady hurt you, but Stefan, back in the day, honey, he cheated on you with Gabby, and then he treated you. That’s in the past. I’m, I’m focused on the, right now, the present. And when it comes to Brady and Stephan, the choice is clear. I mean, I understand Brady putting his daughter first, but he didn’t waste one minute moving Kristen in with him.

Chloe, wait. I’m not excusing Brady’s behavior. I just, I know. I know, I know. Okay, mom, I know that you thought that we were meant to be. I get it. And I thought that too. For a while, but I just don’t. I don’t anymore.

Now, this is not gonna be a cakewalk. The wedding may be a good diversion, but Rachel had plans. I mean, my dad and Marlene were gonna babysit her lead did around that. What we need to do is make sure that Christo Doesn. Bail out on the wedding and go home early before we make this happen. I can steal her car keys.

That’s a good idea, but I got a better one. You’re not gonna like it. Tell me you’re kidding. You know I’m not. You want me to take Kristen to the wedding as my date? It’s perfect how he said it’s perfect for you, not for me, because I’m gonna have to deal with her. I know it sounds crazy, but you imagine you showing up with sh Devil on your arm and I kidnap the thing that she loves the most.

Her daughter. It can’t.

Why are you needing luck tonight? You getting cold feet, really cold sweats. I had a bad dream oh one. That’s making you nervous about your wedding. Let’s forget about it. Thanks for stopping by. Was Stephan in your dream? How’d you guess ? Well, When I walked through that door, I noticed guilt all over your face.

It’s not guilt. All right, well, are you afraid of getting caught? I mean, dreamer, no dream. What makes you think this stuff’s gonna find out what you did? I’m certainly not gonna tell it. Oh, don’t worry. I am reporting for standby duty ready to gag you at a moment’s notice, but only if you promise to do the same for.

deal. Look. Yeah. We’ve kept what we found out in. Jakarta to ourselves for this long, that’s gotta count for something, right? Does. But unlike you, I’m actually in the wedding. Yeah, I have to stand next to Gabby while my brother promises to love, honor, and cherish her. Knowing full well he broke that vow before he even got to the ceremony.

Part of me thinks the only way to keep this secret is to suddenly, you know, come down with something, skip the wedding altogether.

Wow. on my wedding day. No less. What I am. Your big. It is my job to ask the important questions. Is it also your job to be a buzzkill? Are, are you seriously questioning my feelings for Lee now? If you are head over heels when you say I do, then we’re all good. What do you mean if, well, I remember how head over heels you were for Stephan before he died.

Yeah. And that’s why I was so hurt when Stephan came back to town and started treating me like something on the bottom of his shoe. And I’m not saying that he and I would’ve gotten together. I mean, Lee and I were already in love, but there was never a choice for me to make. And, and with Stephan’s rejection, he’s obviously just proven to me that the what?

That even before he got shot, everything was a lie. And that he never really loved me.

I, uh, hope we’re past the hood. Do you really love portion of the wedding day? Does sound like a good idea for a game show though? Mm. Yeah. You know, you, you could be the dashing mc. Think of how many more weddings you could ruin . Wow. Don’t need to get snippy. Hmm. You know, being your big brother isn’t as easy as it looks, but you’re great.

Mm. Most of the time, I mean, you could level the playing field and start dating again. Then I could give you grief too. Well, I am actually enjoying my bachelor’s status. Mm. Are you? Mm-hmm. . Well, I happen to have detected a little something between you and Jada at Christmas. Hmm. That was either your imagination or the eggnog.

Well, you did drink a lot of it, so you must be right. Mm-hmm. Jada is a coworker and ze. And even if I had interest, which I don’t, HR has a huge book of rules about dating your subordinates. She’s off limits. Rules don’t apply when it comes to true love. Well, good thing it isn’t there. No, I know. I’m just saying, why don’t you invite her to the wedding?

I know you want to. Have you not listened to anything that I’ve just said? Well, you never listened to anything I say, so let’s just call it even. Hey, seriously, listen, I’m gonna invite her. If you don’t do it, I’m gonna do it. Mm-hmm. ? Mm-hmm. ? Mm-hmm. . Jah. I didn’t hear you come in that much was obvious. I never see you anymore, so I just assume that you’ve been avoiding me.

I promise. No, no, that, that would be childish. Um, you’re just hoping that you would never run into me again.

Well, when I ran into Kristen and Rachel on Christmas, Rachel did happen to mention that her mom and Brady are not sleeping in the same room. So maybe things haven’t taken off yet, but it’s only a matter of time. But maybe that means that there’s still a chance for you and Brady sweetheart. Oh my God, mom, do you need to see an eye doctor or something?

Or are you just in some weird denial about how close Stephan and I have become when you saw it? Everything from the opera to Broadway and ice skating at 30 Rock and him taking us to the best restaurants in New York. We’ve had an amazing time. Okay. Okay. So you’re madly in love. I didn’t say that. So you’re not in love, mom.

What I’m saying is that we’re taking the time to make things right, but this is right. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. That fate has stepped in. I’m given Stephen and me another chance. No, I don’t think Stefan will find out. Well, what about your. dreams don’t always follow logic. I mean, that’s certainly true.

Oh, and I don’t, I don’t mean to put you on the spot on your wedding day. In fact, I should express my profound gratitude. See, thanks to you, Chloe is an afterthought to me and to Brady. I mean, , it’s a actually a relief. Why a relief? You were skeptical it would all work. All right. I confess when you told me about your sister going to Jakarta to look for Wolf, uh, I thought everything was gonna implode, but, uh, obviously Wendy and Johnny didn’t find out the truth.

I know why you’d assumed that giving my impending nuptials to Stephan’s ex in a few hours, but brace yourself.

Brace myself for what?

Johnny and Wendy know everything.

Hi. No, no, no, no, no. Not You are not calling Jada. Come. What? What are you gonna do? You’re gonna haul me to the police station on my wedding day. I will . I will. I’m not kidding. I will. It is not your place to invite Jada to your wedding as my date. Fine. Okay, fine. Just thought it’d be nice for you to have someone to talk to and it’d be nice to not spend my wedding day worried about my wallflower brother being bored.

Wow. That. Oh, would you look at that? I don’t have any more time to continue this conversation unfortunately, cuz I have to get to work party pooper. I meant what I said though about before, you know, I just want you to be happy. I know. And grief what you need to know is that that’s the reason I’m marrying Lee, cuz he makes me.

And why aren’t you as alarmed as I am? If Johnny and Wendy know our secret, they won’t default it to anyone I just talked to. Why won’t they diviv it? What did you ask them? Politely not. Because Wendy is my sister and she’s extremely loyal to me. Oh, and Johnny. Johnny has his own reasons for keeping quiet.

Ejs still grieving, and Johnny doesn’t wanna make things worse for him. Okay. Oh hell, you are right? I know. I am. Well, it’s been dodged now, I don’t know. Mm-hmm. It seems there’s a lot riding on those two kids. Stay in the course, and especially for you. Do you know me? I can handle that if it becomes public, but you, that is a different story.

I’m confident Johnny and Wendy will stay the course as you put it. Great. I hope your confidence is justified. See, at the wedding,

skip the wedding. You can’t be serious. W why not? , you and I could have some fun of our own . Yeah. Well, don’t you think that not showing up to the wedding would just raise even more questions? Yeah. Suppose it’s just look, the guilt. All right, I get it. Trust me. But you’ve gotta fight it. Okay,

I’ll try.

And now. It’s time for me to get over to Gabby’s. Just start with the maid of honor duty. Oh, that’ll be fun.

look. I’m sorry.

Hey, look, maybe, maybe the only way to justify keeping this secret is to realize that coming clean is just swapping out one form of guilt for another. Yeah, I know if I break my promise to my brother, I’ll ruin his life and you’ll have the rest of your life to live with it.

That was close. Are you okay?

I don’t blame Jada for being bitter, but we need to focus. Alright? As much as I’m not looking forward to this, I know what I need to do and I need to relieve John and my lady in front of the babysitting so they don’t realize what we’re doing. Okay? Let’s say wish me luck, but I think you’re gonna need it too.

Also, good luck to both of us. Alright.

Can we talk? I thought we just did. I mean, really talk.

I just want you to know that I haven’t been avoiding you. I just haven’t been staying here. Since you got outta jail, you heard I did. And I also heard that your lawyer is a, a full service attorney.

Look, I don’t care. You live your life. I’ll live mine, but I know why you got arrested and I’m not interested in being the reason why you’re spinning out.

I’m not spinning out and you’re not the reason why I got arrested the last few weeks that have been a, a struggle for me. But I would like to find a way to get past that and for us to be friends again. Do you think that’s possible? That’s how we started, isn’t it? I mean, we had enough in common to like each other.

Things have changed. Yeah, they have. You’re right. We’ll never see eye to eye in the pregnancy, but that wasn’t the real issue between us. No. Well, in your opinion, what was, was my getting involved with you? When I had unresolved feelings for Nicole, and I know she was with ra, and I just thought, what time that I could handle it and I didn’t.

And I’m sorry. I owe you an apology for not being honest with you or myself from the very beginning.

Thank you for saying that. And as far as us being friends, I, I’m gonna need some time. Okay. I can wait. Well, I’m, I’m glad we talked and, and I’m sorry for being so hard on you before.

Um, I gotta get to the station now. I’ll see you soon. Yeah, I’ll see you soon. And in the meantime, Try to stay outta jail, huh,

sweetheart, I’m so sorry. I’m, I’m really not trying to put you on the spot and yet that’s exactly what you’re doing. You know, I guess it’s just because it’s New Year’s Eve and I was thinking about my favorite. , which is Oh, when Harry met Sally. Oh, Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. They’re on the outs and then while they decide to get back together.

Oh, in the cutest sexiest way. It’s just, and they live happily ever after. Mom, my life is not a. But sweetheart, it could be. I mean, think about it, you can, you could fly home to Salem and meet up with Brady just, just before the clock strikes 12 and oh, just think how romantic that would be. So when I miss.

You’re here . Hope I’m not late. Oh, you’re right on time. I’m so excited. This is gonna be so much fun. , I can’t breathe. I’m sorry. I’m just so excited, aren’t you? Yeah, no idea.

Anything new on that kidnapping case? Uh, not since we went over it together on Christmas morning, which reminds me, uh, it was very generous of you to give me a place to go that day. Well, I’m glad you came. Gabby likes you a lot. Oh, and I like her. She’s smart, funny, kinda like her big.

So today is the big day, right? Gabby’s New Year’s Eve wedding, it sounds like it’s gonna be a blast. Yeah, it’s gonna be great. , would you wanna come? You mean with you?

Hey, you did not miss a thing. Mom and I were just talking about New Year’s. Ah, speaking of which, Zbars was a mad house and it took longer to get the bagels than anticipated. So we’re not gonna have time to indulge if we’re gonna make our flight to Miami to celebrate. Okay, then let’s start packing. Let’s do it.

I’ll get in Harold.

Lee, if you’re, if you’re looking for my father, he is not around. Actually, I came to see you. I’m gonna see you tonight, but the wedding couldn’t wait. Unfortunately not, you see, I came to double check. There will still be a tonight at the wedding.

Yeah. Can you confirm that number with me one more time? Oh, oh my God. Let me call you back. I’m, I’m sorry. I got distracts distracted. I didn’t see. Okay. I was trying to make sure that Gabby and Lee’s wedding gift was delivered on time. Hey, it’s. Um, you can bump into me anytime,

Hey, uh, I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me before, but you and I are gonna be leaving the townhouse at the same time for the wedding, and it’s kind of silly for us to go separately. Uh, excuse me. Are you asking me to go with you? Don’t you want to? Well, I do. I do. It’s just, I can’t figure out why you’re asking me.

What , I kind of wanted to beat you to the punch. Kristen, honestly figured with your access to the orchid, you would probably force me to go somehow. So I guess I just wanted to do it on my own terms. Hmm. I hadn’t thought of that. Hmm. Look, Kristen, do you want to go with me or not? . Very, very much. Okay, great.

We’ll go. Okay. We should bring Rachel. Oh, she would love to have an outing together with her family that I’m gonna give her a call.

Well, we could show up together. Sure. And what I meant when I asked you was, since you and Gabby hit it off. I thought if you wanted to go, you could, you know, you could be there. You could congratulate her in person. Thanks. But I’m, I’m not a party crasher. No, no, no, no, no. You, you wouldn’t be. There’s always room for one more besides I have an in with the bride, well, let me put it that way.

How could I say no? Okay.

The guy already gave you my reassurance that I’m not gonna tell anybody what you did to Stephan. Do you? You doubt my sincerity. When we first spoke, this knowledge was new to you as were your reasons for keeping silent. See, you’re concerned that what I, I changed my mind. I’m just covering my bases.

Simple as that. I, I have a promise from Wendy, and it would keep me from sweating for my tugs if I hide yours too. Yeah. You know, you’re a pretty crappy brother. Wendy’s tied up in knots because of her loyalty to you. How dare you speak to me that way. I’m a good brother to Wendy. Yeah. Yeah. Just like you’re gonna be a good husband to Gabby, right.

Starting off the marriage with a lie, which by the. They’ve got their way of coming to the surface, so you might as well just level with her. Now, take your chances. I can’t do that. Hey, it’s your call, but I have a feeling you’re gonna live to regret it.

Hey, we’ll see you tonight. Wendy and I just can’t wait.

now. This is how you get a wedding. De started.

What is it? I was just stinging.

About how incredibly happy you look. It’s because I am starting tonight. Your brother and I will finally be officially together, . Then I’m going to do my very best to help make this a day. You remember? The rest of your life.

Oh, well this has been great fun, but last we must say our goodbyes. Oh, how I wish you two could stay. We’ll be back soon. Yes. Thank you for putting us. Oh no. I should be thanking you for all the wonderful nights out on the town. No, what can I say? Just trying to impress my new girlfriend. Well, you definitely succeeded.

Um, I love you. Say goodbye to Mike. I must,

this is what I want. I’m over Brady. I really am if you say so.

I love you and I love you. Happy New Year. Be safe,

Chris. Christopher. Why not? Don’t think about it. Think. The wedding is at night. Mm-hmm. , it’s New Year’s Eve. The reception is probably gonna go to the wee hours in the morning. Oh, you know what? I hadn’t thought of that. Uh, yeah, I mean, it’s too late for Rachel. Oh, you’re right, you’re right. Okay. And dad, Marlena, they’re already set to babysitter and so we should just stick to that plan and maybe the two of us would have a little bit more fun alone anyway.

Huh? Maybe. We’ll, hm. So it’s just gonna be you and me. New me, shall we? Three Shall

mom. Hey, uh, listen, I know you and John, you’re watching Rachel tonight, but see, I don’t have any plans tonight and there’s no reason why you two should not be going out and having some fun. No, I, I mean it, I really like to watch Rachel . Of course. I will let Kristen and Brady know. Great. Alright. I can’t tell you how much I’m really looking forward to spending some time with my niece.

Love you too.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Cuff links. . Oh, . Thank you. Can’t have too many cuff links, right? Oh, definitely not. Definitely not. These are, these are just lovely . Oh, you know, you bought me too many gifts. . Well, you overdid it yourself. Husband . But. I love everything you got for me, . Oh, especially this bracelet. Oh, you, well, you know, Chanel helped me pick that out.

are you expecting a call? Uh, No, I, I keep thinking about Sloan Peterson. Well, you, Chanel is cleared of all charges in Sloan’s mother’s death. And you, well, you both are free. I know, I know. But, and I, you know, I couldn’t be more grateful that my baby’s home. I can’t up feeling like this. A long way from being over.

What is that? I may kick myself later for stopping this momentum, but are you sure? You ready? Take the next step.

We would’ve ended up in my bed the other night if Paulina hadn’t called and interrupted. Okay. My phone is on do not disturb mode, and so am i. I’m definitely ready, aren’t you? Will? No, you’re here. Yeah. It looks like you weren’t expecting. No, I, I wasn’t. I thought you were staying in la No. I can’t even imagine being in SoCal right now.

Probably 80 degrees there, right? In Santa. What does he wear? Shorts, sunglasses. Shut up, please. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? Why do you think I wanted to surprise you? Didn’t expect to be surprised myself or, or maybe a more accurate word would be horrified.

Molly, you were a huge hit with the kids. O Lovely’s Personal and their face is special since they have to spend Christmas in the hospital. Put little souls. I know it’s gotta be so tough. Sure. But if you’ll allow me, I just need to slip back into the Santa character for a second. Cause it turns out there is someone who’s been very nice all year long and not naughty at all.

And so they definitely deserve one more gift. Ah, and that person is a young lady named Sarah,

r e d n. Rednecks, you have one for? What about it? Oh, it’s just, I’m really good at Word games. You know, jumbles, anagrams, that sort of thing. Well, couldn’t help but notice Zander went to work for a company that is actually his name spelled backwards, and it’s just a funny coincidence, right?

I don’t think it’s funny at all.

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

You got us tickets to Greece? I did. I mean, after the gift I gave you yesterday, I Oh, you mean the lingerie that your ex helped you pick out? Yeah. That, mm-hmm. , the, obviously recruiting Gwen for that particular mission was a bad idea, so I, I dunno, I was hoping you’d give me a chance to redeem myself and that we could enjoy the honeymoon.

We never got.

This is really incredible, honey. Um, but how are you gonna pay for it? Oh, you know, zer always finds a way and, you know, I talked to Kayla about giving you the week off.

Are you upset that I talked to your boss? I mean, I just, I just wanted it to be a surprise, you know? Uh, no. Um, It.

What is it? I mean, you seemed a bit distant today.

I’m just wondering why you didn’t tell me. I tell you what, that Bonnie accused you of being the clown that kidnapped her.

How did I not notice red? Is Xander spelled backwards? Honey, don’t ease yourself up. You have a lot going on. Don’t you see what this means? There is no rednecks. Xander must have made it up. Why would he do that? Gwen, any ideas?

I thought you were staying in. The studio wanted me to, but I hated the thought of being away from you for the holidays. So I told them I would write from here. I’d do my meetings from Zoom. I hopped on a Christmas red eye. I, and I came here as fast as I could because I kept picturing you alone. On Christmas, you know, Amir, a few days ago I was picturing both myself and Sonny alone on Christmas.

But how lucky are we, especially me since I was going without lodging, is that we gravitated toward each other. Now, here we are. Neither of us alone. You’re not helping Leo. Yeah. You know what else is not helping you with your shirt off? Oh, um, right, I, I can explain it. Okay. I’m waiting.

It’s her. It’s slow. She’s here. Exact her revenge on quick. Sh sh. Take a breath. Take a breath. All right. We don’t know who it is. Before you start panicking, you’re right. I know, I know. I don’t know why she asked me so On edge, it’s all right. I’ll take care of it. All right, I got it. Who is it? Opened up. Oh dear Lord.

Hey, Merry. Oh, Merry

honey.

You know, this, uh, this is a little bit new for me. I got used to being the guy rushing in and sweeping a woman off her feet. But from the moment I met you, you knocked me off mine. So does that mean you ready? I’m ready.

Uh,

Okay. I know I said I’m ready. And you said you’re ready. Yeah. But are we ready? Ready. I don’t know. I don’t know what you mean. Um Oh, oh. Um, you mean do I have a Yeah, because I don’t, well, just so you know, I didn’t come here expecting to, um, no, of course not. You know what I. I’ll run to the store. I’ll run to the store.

Five minutes, 10 minutes tops. 10 minutes, cops. And, and I’ll, and I’ll, I’ll, I’ll be right back. Do you, do you have any requests or, um, how about a Christmas theme? Christmas theme, red or green? The boat. Striped. Striped, yeah. , like, like a candy cake. Are we talking flavors or what, what, what, No, no. Nevermind, nevermind.

I, I will see what the options are and I will, uh, I will be right back.

10 minutes tos.

You have no idea how good it’s to see you. Oh, Eli, honey. Oh, I’m just, I’m so happy that you’re here. No, you are gonna be super happy to see. These two, Jules and Carver say hi to grandma and grandpa. Oh.

I I didn’t tell you about Bonnie’s crazy theory cause cuz the crazy theory and especially since I got kidnapped by the psycho clown too. Bonnie didn’t think it was very crazy. Well cuz I said some phrase that reminded her of Mr. Claran that, and she also said that the clown knew that her daughter was Mimi.

Right. Very simple. Google search would reveal that. I mean, it’s totally a state secret. Is it

Sarah? I know you had your doubts about me. You apologize, so we’d move past it. Well, haven’t we,

Gwen, you said you did research on rednecks for an article that you were going to write for the Spectator. Mm-hmm. . Yeah, that’s right. And everything seemed to check out. You had no idea the company is a fake. Well, there was a website and I phoned the number and somebody picked. You know, I’ve been to that website too.

Um, it looks real. Only, there are no employee names, including the CEO who supposedly fired Xander. Hmm. That’s strange. Yes, it is. Especially since you gave me the name Mave Wilson. Where did you find that? Uh, I don’t remember. Uh, it must have been in public record or maybe Zander told me. Mm-hmm. . You see, I don’t think any of that is true.

I don’t think there is a Mave Wilson. I think you made it all up to protect Xander.

Okay. Look, I can tell you’re upset. Why would I be upset, son? Why would I be upset? Because I come home to spend Christmas with my. And I walk in to find you half naked with him. He gave this to me as a gift. Well, I was just trying it on for what it’s worth. I think it fits you very nicely. A little tight, which is good.

Shut up, Leo. Up. Leo. Wow. Did you two practice that

son? Make this make sense. Why is Leo giving you a Christmas present, and why is he wearing pajamas? If I didn’t know better, I, I would think he spent the night here. He did.

Did you find the candy cane one? What about candy canes?

You look flushed. Are you okay? Yeah, I’m fine. I was just, Straightening up. Uh, I thought you were Alex . Oh, is he supposed to be coming over? He was already here actually. He just stepped out to run an errand. Uh, I’m, uh, I’m sorry. I should have called first. No, it’s fine. Merry Christmas. I, um, Merry Christmas for me.

I didn’t get you anything. I was from Thomas in. The kids bought me a present. Yeah, they wanted to make sure that mommy’s cousin got something.

Okay. I’m guessing it’s a CD if, do you know who Olivia Rgo? Stop it. How’d you know when Charlotte kept having those nightmares on Halloween? She made me listen to driver’s license like a million times. Right. She said you loved it. I do. Now I just need to get a CD player. Nah, you just look at the cover and you can stream it and tell them thank you.

It means a lot. I will. Ah, Merry Christmas. Oh, today must be so hard for you. Yeah, uh, it is, but uh, most days are hard, so. And how are the kids holding up? Better than I am. I think. This morning, they, um, they came downstairs and they saw the presents under the Christmas tree. And, uh, I, I turned, uh, around for a second and, uh, for a second I, I forgot that Abby wasn’t there to, to share.

She was always really good at making the day perfect for all of us. I am sure you did that for Thomas and Charlotte too.

Yeah, . I’m so sorry

babe. I got all kinds of options cause I couldn’t.

I did apologize for accusing you of being the clown, the kidnap Bonnie. All right. I know it feels like you’re accusing me again. I’m sorry. I just, Bonnie got in my head. But then you say that she’s seen clowns everywhere like you were a clown. Roman was a.

Yes, yes. Bonnie is suffering from some very serious P T S D. I shouldn’t let her get to me. I’m sorry. I really shouldn’t doubt you. I know how hard you’ve worked to become a better man, and you’ve been honest with me and I trust. I know that you wouldn’t lie to me.

Now I’m going to go get out of this Mrs. Claus costume so that we can go back to the motel and I can give you your Christmas present. I love that.

Okay. I’ll be honest with you, Zander did lie about the job. I knew it. Rednecks is not real. No, I helped him create it. I built the website and I forged his unemployment contract, which is why he was so against me filing a wrongful termination suit. So the whole thing was a cover. I wouldn’t call it a cover.

What would you call it? I mean, why go through all of this? Well, Zander did this. Zander did this because he was ashamed to let Sarah know that he didn’t have a job. I’m sorry, I was just. Helping a friend, and I suppose I just took it a bit too far.

Th this isn’t, this must be a nightmare, right? I, I’m like, I’m like George Bailey, and it’s a wonderful life. I made a crazy wish and now I get to see what the world would look like if I died. Okay. Leo, can you give us a second, please? Sure. I’ll go change out of my PJ’s and give. You and Scrooge Mc Grinch Pants, a chance to catch up.

Go. Hey, see if you can scrounge up some Christmas spirit while I’m gone. Okay.

Start talking.

Merry Christmas one. Yeah, don’t speak so soon. What’s up? I hate to be the one to have to put coal in your stocking, but it seems that you may have landed on somebody’s naughty list. Are you done playing by the Christmas? Yeah. Why? What’s going on? We have to figure this out. Where are you? The hospital. But why don’t we meet the, the park?

Near the entrance on Magnolia, I can be there in 10 minutes. Okay? Yeah, that works for me. Should I be worried? I’ll see you in 10.

Look at those angels. They love those toys. . Paulina, I thought you had already given Carver and Jules all their presents. I sent their Christmas presents. These are birthday presents, but you didn’t even know they were coming today. , I always keep toys at the Ready , spoiling my grand baby. This is not a seasonal activity.

No, no, no. That’s, uh, a year long situation. I see. Oh, , nothing. Nothing gives me so much joy just to see those smiles, . Ooh. Especially after the month we’ve had in this family. Oh, happy birthday kids. Grandma, love you. I wish, I wish Lonnie were here to see.

Alex, I’m so sorry. I, uh, Stephanie said you were gonna go grab something. Yeah, I just want to go candy canes. I was craving them. We needed candy canes. Needed them badly for later.

So you All right, man. Yeah, I’m phenomen, I’m good.

Mind if I go, uh, just use the bathroom and splash water on my face before I have to go pick up the kids? Of course, you know where it is.

So what did I miss?

It was, it was really sad. Okay. Leo had no place to go for Christmas, so I invited him here for, for dinner and a place to stay. Why do you care if he had no place to go? You can’t stand the guy. It’s Christmas Will, so there are limits. L l Leo pushed you through hell, he drugged you, he tried you into bed, he took pictures of you.

He sold those pictures to a newspaper and now he’s trying some new angle, trying to get you to trust him clearly. So, So I, I, I don’t know, steal the, the Christmas presents from under the street. He’s not, he’s not working in anchor h. How do you know that? Because we, it is Christmas. I flew through a blizzard to get to you, and instead of holding each other and enjoying our holiday, we are fighting thanks to Lee.

No, we’re fighting because you’re not even trying to understand me. What, what I understand is that Leo was always trying to get between us, and that’s what he’s doing right now. What I don’t underst. It’s why you don’t see that. I know it’s a little early furthering, but I think I need this dose of liquid courage if I’m gonna get through seven courses of Christmas dinner with Victor at the table.

What was that? I was just saying how much I’m dreading Christmas dinner with your uncle. What’s up with you? Sorry, I just can’t stop thinking about that story Gwe told us. Mm-hmm. , you don’t believe her, that she was helping Xander because he was afraid to admit to Sarah that he was unemployed. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through.

I mean, Sarah knows who Xander is and she married him anyway. Mm-hmm. , I didn’t wanna say anything before, but yeah, I don’t buy it either. , there’s a lot more to Bridget Jones than she’s letting. And I think I know what it is. Mm-hmm. . Hey, what’s going on? What’s this about a North? Yeah. Um, I’ve just had a chat with Bonnie and Justin came to see you.

Apparently Bonnie figured out that rednecks is just Zander spelled backwards. Well, it’s not exactly the Da Vinci code is it? What did you say? I did my best to cover for you. I said the reason that you made up the company is cuz you didn’t want Sarah to know that you didn’t have a job. Thanks. But if Justin doesn’t believe you, you won’t let this go away.

If he says something to Sarah, she still has her suspicions. She tells me she trusts me, but I can see her D and if those two start comparing nose, all roads feed back to you. Oh my God. I mean, Sarah finds out what I did to Susan and Bonnie. I already know

Chad came over to bring me a gift from the kids and we started talking about Christmas and Abigail and well, you saw holidays are rough when you lose someone you love. We obviously can’t throw Chad back out in the cold if he’s hurting that bad.

All right. Merry Christmas. Hey, Merry Christmas, Mary. Hey, Chad. You wanna stick around for a bit? Nah, I’m, I’m not gonna be a third wheel. It’s funny you say that. Stephanie and I have been playing this little race car game every time I’m about to pass this. My car throws a flat and she’s got some little secret trick that allows her to go faster than me all the time, and she won’t tell me how to do it.

Maybe you can help me figure it out. You wanna play video games? You’re my only hope, buddy.

All right. But I’m probably gonna beat even worse than she does . Wow.

I, I’ll see you soon. I love you too, baby. How is Chanel? She’s free , so that matters. . Well, she and Allie, they’re over at Marla’s, but they’ll be over soon. They have their own birthday presents for the twins. Oh my God. I, I should have brought a trailer just for the gifts. . , and I hope you plan on bringing those little angels to visit their other grandma.

But don’t tell Julie that you brought ’em here first to see me. And you know how she gets a little possessive sometimes? Hmm. I got a confession to make. Hmm. . I took the twins to see Julie last night. You, you didn’t bring them to see me first. I’m, I’m sorry. I, I should have told you, I’m sorry. . So Julie’s the possess him.

That’s okay, darling. You are here now. That’s all that matters. Yeah. So, Eli, how’s my daughter? How you know Lonnie? She’s, she’s strong, but I, I know it’s killing her to not be here with family for c. Well, hopefully next year she will be out and we’ll be together. Mm-hmm. , from your lips to Gods ear. Well, at least you and Chanel are locked up for the holidays as well.

Mm-hmm. , amen to that. So that whole nightmare is over.

What am I missing? I’m showing Peterson. It’s been making threats against Paul and Chanel. What kind of threats? The threatening kind, well, sounds like I need to go over there and pay her a friendly visit and let her know whose family she’s messing with.

I don’t, I don’t think you understand how hard it is for me when you’re gone. Of course. Of No, look at me. Of course. I would rather spend time with you than with Leo. But like I said, you, you weren’t here.

I, I, I thought that we, we both agreed that I couldn’t miss out on this opportunity in la and I stand by that, and I’m so proud of you. Will.

You’re right. I’m sorry. I, I should have told you about this sooner. Okay. But. It kind of happened. What, what, what kind of happened? Me and Leo, I don’t know. We just started hanging out and nothing planned at all. Nothing planned. We just kept running into each other and we talked about what? A lot, a lot of stuff.

I think I’ve come to understand him a little bit better. All right. I know he comes off as an arrogant jerk who doesn’t care about anyone besides himself, but he’s acting really hard life and he’s, he’s made a lot of mistakes, but he’s trying to be a better guy. Son.

I know that you always try and see the best in people and that you’re, and that’s a bad. No, no, I, it’s one of the many things I love about you, but sometimes you have to face reality. Santa Claus doesn’t exist, Sonny, and he didn’t suddenly leave Leo Stark a conscience under the tree. No, no. See, this is your problem.

You always see the worst in people. This is Leo Stark. He is the first. I’m not talking about Leo Stark. I’m talking about me. The first thing you thought when you came in here was that I was cheating on you. Well, you did the same thing in Phoenix when you walked in on me and I was with him. I had reason to think that seems that you’re already cheated on me once.

When’s a good liar, but, um, I don’t buy that. She’d got all that trouble just to make Santa look good to his wife. You know? I’m with you. Yep. So red. Must be a power for something else. Hmm. But what is it mean? What is Xander’s? Secret? Nude What? Nude. N E W G. It’s Gwen Backwards. Okay. What does that mean?

Gander having an affair. Sarah, what? You, what? What, what do you do? I overheard you on the phone saying you were going to meet her in the park, so I followed you. Please let me explain. I keep, oh, yes, please go ahead. Maybe you wanna start with how you kidnapped Bonnie and Susan. Or how you lied to me over and over again, or how you were sneaking around my back with Herwe.

Let’s just, she’s my friend. A friend. A friend that helps you lie to your wife and commit felonies. Sarah, I, you shut your mouth. This is between me and my husband. Sir, this isn’t her fault. Are you seriously defending her right now? Did you put him up to this? Huh? I know you and Ava are thick as thieves.

Did she ask you to recruit Sandra, do her dirty work? That’s not how I happened. Then tell me how it happened and for the first time and forever, tell me the truth.

You are not going anywhere. Sloane Peterson doesn’t get to push you around. I appreciate you wanting to defend your family, baby, but I don’t want you going near that awful woman she is right now. Everybody’s safe so it, we just don’t want any more trouble than they’re already. Are you sure you don’t need me?

Oh, we sure as hell need you. We need you to be a husband, Talani and a father to our beautiful grandbabies cuz it’s their second birthdays. So I say, well, let’s make it a party.

Hi. Hi. So you think Xander is sleeping with Gwen behind Sarah’s? Honey, in my experience when a man lies, it’s usually about his paycheck or his love life. I think Xander’s lying about both. Hope that’s not true. Redneck is a fake company. Gwen is a real person. I see the way she looks at him. She does seem to still be enamored.

Think about it. Xander kisses Sarah on the cheek. Goodbye. Tells her he’s going to work at redneck, and instead he’s going to play with Gwen.

Eva heard that I was having financial problems. I was desperate for cash. Fuck, I just wanted to impress you. I wanted to prove that wasn’t some loser who can pay his rent. What up? Don’t make this about. Was redneck even real? No.

Was Ava Vitali your boss all along? Yes. What did she hire you to do? The plan was to kidnap ejs mother. It was supposed to be a simple transaction. I, I hold her. EJ pays up. Susan goes free. It was complications. Gimme Bonnie. Yeah, and she went to the shed looking for lanterns and she found Susan instead. I, I panicked.

I didn’t know what to do, so I knocked her unconscious and tied her up. When I came to my senses, I let her go and Ava, she swore to me that Susan wasn’t gonna get hurt. She’s dead. Sandra. She went off of a cliff and she died in a fiery car crash. I know, and I feel horrible about that, but I, but, but I let Susan go too.

And how could I know that she was gonna end up getting in between EJ and Ava and getting into that car? And don’t you see that if you hadn’t have kidnapped Susan, she’d still be alive. So her blood is on your. I know, but I didn’t mean to. Oh, you didn’t mean to. You didn’t mean to. You did. Susan is dead.

Funnies is traumatized

and you lied lie to me.

And everything that I thought we had between us is a lie.

Wow. I, I can’t believe you’d bring up that time. It wasn’t just a time will, I mean, you slept with another man. Yeah. I thought we’d got past that. I thought that wasn’t an issue for us.

You’re right. I’m sorry. Okay. I just, you’re accusing me of cheating on you with Leo when clearly he’s just a lonely guy on Christmas and I’m trying to be a friend to him.

Please.

Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I, I, I believe you, you’re, you’re just being a good person and, and nothing is going on with you and you okay? Yes. And please, please tell me that you trust me. Promise that you trust me. I, I would never do anything hurt you or are our relationship. I’d love you so much. I trust you. Okay.

I don’t wanna fight with the man. I love Christmas or any other day, and I’m so glad to see you and I’m so glad you’re home.

But Sunny, now that I am,

Leo Esco,

you really are bad at this, aren’t you? Oh my God. Keep talking that smack pal. See what happens next time. Yeah. What are you gonna do? Throw a wheel at me, . There it is. The Der Kays. That’s the reason why you’re gonna lose this race. So the only way I lose this race is if I finish it backwards, my friend

Happy birthday Dear Julian. Happy, happy birthday. Thank you. Can daddy blow your candles out? I’m gonna blow, I’m gonna blow your candles out. Yeah. Oh. Yay. All right. All right. Happy birthday. Happy Birthday, . I know what they wish for for Christmas and their birthday for their mom to be home. Oh, my little angels.

That’s, that’s, that’s what we all wish for and pray for.

It’s okay. I am not one to overstay my welcome, since when anyway, I hear the soup kitchen isn’t making one. Choose between stuffing and mashed potatoes this year. Lucky me.

Thank you, sunny, for your kindness and your generosity. Merry Christmas.

And to you. Well,

Leo, wait.

I’m not doing it. I’m not kicking it home. Come on. Come on, Sonny, you’re, you’re not seriously falling for his sad little tiny Tim act. I know that he’s playing it up a bit, but I, I’m not gonna. I invited him to stay and I’m not gonna throw him out. Really? Really?

Okay. If he’s not leaving, I will. He’d be serious. Will. Well, well,

Honestly, I hate to gossip about Sandra after he saved me from that crazy clown, but it is crystal clear that he and Gwen share some deep, dark secret. I’m just having a hard time believing that after all they’ve been Throughand would betray Sarah that way. You really don’t think that Xander and Gwen are doing the deed.

Honestly, whatever it is they’re keeping from us. I am worried that it’s even worse than an affair.

Come on darling. Come on. Let’s take that trip together. Just you and me. We can figure this all out. I’m not going anywhere with you. I don’t ever wanna see you again. You take Gwen to Grace. You two deserve each other.

Talk about starting the day off. Right. Hi, happy you receive Gabby Happy wedding day. I can’t believe he’s finally here. Oh, nothing’s getting our way now. Absolutely nothing,

Gabby. You cannot marry.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Thank you, mom. No, the necklace you got me is perfect. I’m wearing it now. I miss you guys too. Please give everybody my love.

Okay? I’ll talk to you later. Merry Christmas.

I thought you’d be festive, but nope. Depressing. And now I’m talking to a tree. Even more depressing.

Oh, oh, oh.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. Stuck. Hell are you doing in my house? Haven’t you heard? I live here now.

Hey, Sarah. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas Fun. How are you? Oh, um, okay. Emmi. I will be, I’m gonna be okay. , uh, just Justin convinced me that I should, well talk to someone about the visions I’ve been having about the clown and kid me, so that’s right. Um, Dr. Evans Saint that she is agreed to meet me this morning and we just had our first session.

Wow. How was. Well, I wasn’t so sure about it at first, and uh, you know, this is still just the beginning and often. Mm-hmm. . I actually, I, I’m feeling pretty good about it really. , I think it’s gonna,

Oh no. Oh no.

Happy Christmas. Thanks for coming over. Hope I didn’t pull you away from any fun holiday festiv. Oh no, you actually saved me from having to go to church with the Hortons specifically Julie. So what was so urgent that I had to high Taylor over here. Oh, Sarah’s at the hospital. So it’s a perfect opportunity for us to be totally.

For what?

This

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

So Steve told me that Ava’s at Babe, but has she said anything about who her accomplice was? We tried questioning her, but mentally she’s completely checked out. Don’t think we’ll getting any answers from her anytime soon. So that’s. We will never find out who kidnapped and terrorized my wife. Hold on a second, Justin.

We’re not giving up. In fact, right now we are waiting on a forensics report on the warehouse when Bonnie and Xander were held and if anything turns up, of course we will let you know. Thank you both. This whole ordeal has traumatized Bonnie. One minute, she’s fine. The next minute she’s terrifi.

Hallucinating evil clowns. She’s starting to feel like she’s losing her mind. Are you alright? Hey, bozo. Uh, I’m not bozo. Whatever the hell your name is. I’m not afraid of you. Okay? Not anymore. I know you’re not real. You are just a hallucination. Bonnie. Talk to Robinson. I should face my fears and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do and I’m gonna show you who’s boss.

You ready buddy? Bonnie. Bonnie. Bonnie. This is Clarence. The Christmas clown. What? Yes, he’s, he’s here as entertainment for the pediatric.

You real? Uh, stay away from me. You freak.

Okay. Mm-hmm. , I think I need a few more sessions. Yes.

Zander. Is this because I said that you owed me? Yes, exactly.

You don’t need to repay me this way, huh? Well, I’m not that person anymore. Sandra. I would never ask you to be unfaithful to your wife, Gwen. No, no, I, that’s not what I’ve, I’m not suggesting that we have sex. Oh. What’s all this business then with the lingerie? This is the gift I give Sarah for Christmas.

And you’re showing me because, because. It’s my understanding that Thomas Damara overheard you on the phone and I You said that I owe you one? Yes. And then I gave him a cover story saying that I helped you pick out a Christmas present for Sarah. Oh my God. The little snitch he told her, didn’t he? Yes, he did.

And so now Sarah thinks that I asked you, my ex, the one who drugged her to help me pick out some sexy lingerie for her. So she brings it up. This is what you chose? Well, I’ve got much better taste than that thing. Okay. Right. Not the point. I got it. We are on the same page. Yes. Yes. Just one request though.

Go on.

Well now I’ve been made a fool with my. Certain assumption. Can we just forget the part where I thought that you wanted to have sex with me?

So how do Christmas mornings work around here? When do we open the gifts? About an hour after we throw you out on your sugar plum as, oh Victor, you’re such a cut up Henderson. I need you to escort this deranged woodland critter out of my house. You can’t do that. I’m an invited guest. Invited by whom? By me.

I wasn’t expecting you until tonight. Should I leave? No. ? No. This is exactly what I needed. Well, good. I just thought you might be lonely this morning since your family was out of town. Have you talked to him? Yes. Right before he came. How’s trip? Ah, he’s still pretty upset about his mom. He wanted to stay nearby, but as my dad pointed out, it would be a couple days before Eva could even have visitors at Bayview.

So I think it was good that he went to be with my parents and Joey. Yeah. Well, I saw Pauline’s statement about stepping down as governor. Thought for sure. You’d end up going to Seattle. Yeah, wouldn’t have worked out time-wise. I have been so busy with the fallout from her resignation. Besides, I’m looking forward to spending Christmas dinner with you and your.

Yeah. Well, you might end up rethinking that idea by the end of the night. , why is that? Uh, just between Bonnie’s hallucinations and Sunny’s new house guest places a little bit more nutty, even more than usual. I’m sorry. Uncle Vic, I was gonna tell you last night, but you already sleep. By the time I got home and this morning, I had to help Ari get ready in time for Gabby to pick her up, cut to the.

Why God’s name? Would you invite us into our house? Holly Kesser. What? It’s, it’s a, a Greek golan who murders from the ground each Christmas. And I, I told him he could stay with us temporarily because he was about to be evicted, which is my problem because come Uncle Vic, I, I couldn’t let him sleep out in the cold on Christmas Eve.

Fine. You gave him a warm bed. Now it’s time for him to scamper back to Ville. But I told him he could stay with us for the holidays. Absolutely. Get him outta here right now, or should I call the police and have them do it?

Merry Christmas boss. Ooh, just what I’ve always wanted. A crime scene analysis. Yes. Want me to stick around and go over it? . Nah, your shifts over. You don’t have to stay. Oh, but I do. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have an excuse to turn down Kate’s invitation into a very Brady Christmas lunch. I mean, it was kind of hard to invite me, but with Eric being there, it’ll just be awkward as hell.

Yeah, I could understand that. Okay, fine. You can stay in work, but don’t say, I never did anything nice for you. All right. Well, just to be clear, you are paying me double overtime for. I don’t work for free, you know? Geez. You try and do someone a favor and I’ll return the favor by helping you crack the case of the kidnapping clown.

Well, I’m sure that Sarah wasn’t too pleased that I supposedly picked out a sexy 90 poor. It was definitely awkward, but preferable to telling you the truth, obviously. I mean, she finds out then I was that kidnapping clown. She’ll never forgive. . Well, don’t worry, I’ll never say anything. Oh, what about Leo?

He won’t either. As you know, I trust Mattie. Besides, I think he enjoyed wearing that muscle suit and having a little wrestle with you. A bit too much

Right. Well, I best be off. Thanks again, Gwen, for everything. Anytime.

Oh, sorry. Am I interrupting?

I can’t believe I almost punched him and innocent clown. Well, you didn’t, uh, and like you said, it was just, , you facing your fears? Oh yeah. My fears of a kindhearted volunteer who is about to entertain sick children. Sure, yeah. Yeah. I think my therapy isn’t gonna be a quick fix after all. Maybe not, but it is important to stick with it.

I dunno. I, it just,

I’m tired of being scared all the time, you know, knowing that the. Still out there. Oh my. I’m so sorry that you’re having such a tough time with this. I’m just glad Sandra was there when that C clown came after me again. I mean, he was brave, heroic, and God, it just makes me feel so bad that I accused him of being the kidnapper You did.

Yeah, I was sure of it and I was so mean to him about it.

Bye, Bonnie. Why? Why did you accuse him? Why did you think that Xander was your kidnapper?

I can come back another time. She’s not interrupting anything. Uh, Gwen just stopped by because she. She was dropping off my scarf. I, I stupidly left it at the Hortons last night and she was kind enough to drop it by somewhere. What you doing here? Well, I stopped by the police department this morning to ask Ray if he had any new information about who may have kidnapped you and Bonnie and what did he say?

Nothing to report yet. Ava is still in no condition to be questioned and they are awaiting a forensic report from the warehouse. Ah, it’s too bad. But thanks for the update. I want you to have this Christmas gift, Tina. A thank you. If you hadn’t come to Bonnie’s rescue, I don’t know what could have happened.

What this? I drop some papers. I am going to help you sue the pants off rednecks.

Andrew didn’t tell you how I flipped out on him. No, not a word. Now see, that just proves what a good guy he is. He probably didn’t wanna embarrass me because I totally made a fool of myself. Uh, well, what happened the night we were both kidnapped? I ran into Xander beforehand in the park and. I overheard him say the exact same words the clown said when he held Susan in the hostage.

What did he say? He said, I will not let this situation destroy my life.

That is, that’s odd. Why? Why would Alexander be saying that? And to whom? Well, he never got the chance to explain, because then he said, dammit, would you keep your voice down? And that’s another thing that the clown. That is a very strange coincidence. Yes. And then I explained to him that the clown texted Justin and Maggie and told them that I was gonna go visit my daughter, Mimi, which indicated that the clown was someone who knew me like Zander.

And then to top it all off, your husband’s very muy like the clown. I don’t know. It all seemed. Well, it all seemed to fit together. You know what I mean?

I’m glad Bonnie’s getting help. I, um, I once suffered from P T S D too, one of the worst times in my life.

If you don’t mind me asking what.

EJ Damara had me kidnapped. What? Why? When I was dating Philip, I, um, I got caught in the middle of the feud between your family and the Damaris.

Wow. Yeah. I, um, I was held in a drawer at the. You serious, you in a morgue? Yeah. It was me and a whole lot of corpses. Stephanie, I’m sorry I, I knew EJ was a ruthless bastard, but yeah, that’s definitely goes under the heading of cruel and unusual punishment. Wasn’t EJ responsible for trips kidnapping? We can’t prove it, but yes.

Why does it seem like Chad’s big brother is just making it a habit of messing with your family? You don’t even know the half of it

anyway. Back to the craziness at your place. Yeah. , you um, you said that Sonny has a guest. Yeah, he’s got a guest. Get this. He asked Leo Stark to stay with. Seriously. Seriously. After everything Leo’s done to him, after everything he has done, baby bro is a big softie. Kinda the opposite of your Uncle Vic, huh?

Exactly the opposite. Speaking of the old man, when he finds out that Leo is staying with us, plays is gonna be a war zone. Mm-hmm. ? Yeah. Have you completely lost your senses, man? Blackmailed you into marriage? Almost destroyed our company with fraudulent lawsuit. I am well aware of his past. His past. It was just last year that he drugged you, so compromising pictures of you and then sold them to the tabloids for which I have apologized to Sonny profusely and repeatedly I have in fact Groveled because I feel so terribly guilty about it, especially in light of how wonderfully kind and forgiving son has been.

This is exactly what I don’t understand. Why in God’s name would you forgive this? I forgave him. Uncle Vic, just like many people have forgiven you over the years for your many transgressions because he’s genuinely sorry, and he has expressed a profound interest in becoming a better human being. And, you know, seeing as so many people have forgiven you, I’m a little surprised your show shocked.

I’m giving Leo a second chance that we’re, we’re starting over in fact. I would call his friends.

That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Get rid of him now, or You’re fired.

You’re gonna fire me for giving my friend a place to stay. We keep calling him your friend, which confirms that your judgment is seriously. Until you come to your senses, I’ll just replace you with your brother, Alex son. I’m gonna leave. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You cannot keep holding this job over my head, uncle Vic.

Especially since you’re the one who begged me to take it in the first place. And now whenever I do something you don’t like, you threaten to fire me. You know what? Screw that. I beg your part. No, no. I’m not gonna be pushed around by you or anyone else anymore. I’m not gonna stand. Well, you can take your righteous indignation and shove it.

You’re still out on your ass. Fine. You know what? Fire me. I don’t care. You know what? Here, call Alex. Tell him he has the job. I’d rather keep my integrity. I’d rather help a friend in need than bow down your ridiculous demands.

Right? Hot chocolate is ready. Oh, perfect timing. I just finished the tree. Ready? Yeah.

I love it. . It finally feels like Christmas. Good.

What’s that? Uh, that is your gift. I was going to give it to you tonight, but I figured it might come in handy right now. Well, I never say no to open gifts early. Well done right this way. You made the nice list. . Oh, good.

Wow. Mm-hmm. . Oh,

a video game system. Mm-hmm. , you told. That you loved playing video games all the time with your brothers back in Seattle, and that you were looking forward to having a tournament with them when you were home for the holidays. Since you couldn’t get back there, I figured maybe you and I could have our own little tournament.

And I do realize this is not the most romantic gift everybody, are you kidding me? This is the most thoughtful and therefore romantic gifts anyone has ever given me. Thank you, Alex.

This is very kind of you, Justin, but yeah, we talked about this. I don’t really want to pursue legal action. You are wrongfully terminated for refusing to do something illegal for your boss. We can’t let this company get away with it, but I don’t have the money to pay you. It’s pro bono after what you did for Bonny.

It’s the least I can do, and with any luck, you’ll end up with a huge settlement and all of your financial problems will just disappear. But as he said, she said, I’ve worked with Les. All I need is the name of your boss. I’ve left that blank for now, but I will need her full name before I can file the suit.

Just to know I, I don’t wanna do this. Why not? Bender? Is there something you’re not telling me? Justin? Stop. Okay. I will tell you everything.

Uh, what did Sanders say when you accused him? Well, he vehemently denied it and then Justin called and I was about to tell Justin my theory when I got knocked out from behind by the clown, I didn’t see him. Oh right. Cuz it was from behind. Exactly. Mm-hmm. . So the next thing I know I come to in the warehouse and Xander and I are both tied to chairs and I thought he was pretending to be a prisoner.

Then the clown came in and that’s when I knew Sandra was telling the truth. Obviously it couldn’t have been him.

There’s not much to go on here. No dna n no fingerprints. Not even those are the victims. Nope. You know, it seems like after Xander and Bonnie. Our clown went back to the place and cleaned up before our guys got there. Oh, gimme a second here. Oh, looks like you might have missed something. According to this, forensics found a torn piece of flesh colored polyester fiber, and it didn’t match anything that Xander or Bonnie were wearing.

No, Bonnie said the clown was wearing a blue suit again, that some flash color. How’s strange?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I tough pla loser. Oh my God. No, seriously, I would’ve never bought you this thing if I knew you were gonna turn it to a pure monster. Sorry, not sorry. I’m just really. And you also have an unfair advantage given your background. Okay. Except when I was driving in real life, I didn’t throw bananas out the window to sabotage the other drivers.

Oh yeah. Well, I wouldn’t put it past you. Okay. Poor sport. Mm. How about we try a different game? You’re on. Let’s go. Hmm.

Fine. Keep the damn job. Oh. Really, why would I say it if I didn’t mean it? You were just saying like 10 seconds ago that you were gonna fire me, Sonny, gift horse in the mouth. Much. It was at a point I changed my mind cause I’m a heart of gold. Made my decision, which is probably a foolish one. Just accept it.

Okay. Okay. Accept. And that means that Leo can stay right as long as you put him in a room. Far, far away from me then, Maggie? Yes. Thank you. Any room is fine. So long as it has an en suite bathroom. We’re not, I suppose I could walk down the hall to take a shower. And Victor, you have my word. I will never again hurt Sonny.

I. I dunno how you expect people to take you seriously when you’re sitting there and baby me. Jam jams.

Don’t make something funny. What does your husband think of your little sleepover party? I haven’t told him yet. I suspected as much Will decided to stay in LA and work instead of coming home for Christmas so he doesn’t get a sand. Of course not. If he did this creepy, he’d be sitting on a park bench somewhere and you, sonny would’ve a lot of explaining to do.

What do you know about Xander’s situation? I, um, know the name of his boss. It’s Mave Wilson. Oh, how do you know that? Well, I was going to interview. See, I, I was gonna do some press for his company and then when I found out that they were crooked, I just ditched the story. Hmm. Do you have Mave Wilson’s contact info?

I have her email in my research file somewhere. Okay. Um, I have to pick up Bonnie at the hospital. Is it possible for me to come by your place afterwards and get the contact info? Sure. Great. I actually have to go to the hospital as well. Sarah’s enlisted me to play Santa for the kids in pediatrics. Wow.

I’d love to see that and chance, you can gimme a lift over there and maybe I can talk you outta this lawsuit nonsense on the way. Sure. But I’m not gonna change my mind. All right, we’ll just gimme a minute to grab my costume and I’ll, I’ll see you at the car. Yeah. Okay. I’ll see you later. Mm-hmm.

What the, saw that babe? Why he was getting suspicious. Oh, I understand that. But who we gonna get to play Mave Wilson. I’m gonna, I dunno. Get Leo to Don Dre, who maybe give his mate Jackie Mave Wilson actually exists. She’s a girl. I went to school with a real proper bitch. How is that relevant? It’s not. But guess what?

We’re gonna send Justin on a wild goose chase and you’re never gonna be found out.

Is it possible the fabric is from the clown mask? Hard to say. Look, all we know for sure is that Susan Banks bought the mask in the square and it was made of latex. Interesting. Is there anything else? Yeah. Forensics also found pieces of batting polyfill. It’s sort of like the filling use for stuffed animals and pillows.

Yeah. Right. Huh? Could it have been made at the factory or the warehouse? Possibly. My gut’s telling me that this ties back to the kidnapper. I’m just not sure how.

Hi, Gabby. Yes, I am leaving work soon. I promise I won’t be late. Okay, bye. All right. I gotta pack it in soon. Can’t be late for Christmas lunch. Then you should go. I can stick around and keep working on the file. You know what? I’ve actually got a better idea. Why don’t you come with me, uh, to your lunch? I, I don’t wanna impose No, no, no, no.

You would not be imposing. It’s, uh, you know, it’s just Gabby and her fiance and my niece. It’s all very casual. You sure? Yes, I am sure. You know what? In fact, you will be doing me a favor because this way I won’t be the odd man out. Okay. Uh, but before we go, I’d like to stop somewhere first and I’d like you to come with me.

Okay. , are you sure you don’t wanna stick around for the party? Oh, and risk another run in with Clarence to Christmas clown. Hi. Not ho, ho, ho, ho. Sander, you are so fetching as Santa Claus. Oh, thank you. Kind love. Thank you. Good luck with the kids Zander. And uh, I’ll get back to you regarding, uh, what we discussed.

If you must have fun.

What was that all about? Oh, ju Justin was, uh, he’s, he’s just helping with something I’ll explain later. Okay. So are you ready to jingle ve rock? Mrs. Claus? It’s, uh, Dexon halls.

I mean, talk about going above and beyond here, have another muffin. Not only did you stick up for me, you were willing to lose your job rather than have your uncle throw me out. Well, it was as much for me as it was for you. Stick of that guy pushing me around. Well, it was totally impressive. A real Julia Sugar Baker moment, only Hunter.

Okay, thank you. And since you did such a nice thing for me, maybe now is a good time for me to give you your little gifty. Leo, you’re broke. You shouldn’t have gotten me anything. Of course I should have. And they gave me 20% off, so it didn’t even send me back that much. It’s just a small token of my appreciation for living me Crash here.

Gay is Christmas morning. Mm-hmm. . I saw it in the store window. I immediately thought of you,

Thank you Leo. I love it.

Alright. Alright. Okay. Alright. Knocks. Nope. Nope. Okay. Okay. I beat you again. Did you neglect to tell me that you were a professional dancer? Me, of course not. Oh, I think you did. You were you, you were the backup dancer for Katy Perry, weren’t you? That was you. That was, you tell the truth right now. You were the left shark at the Super Bowl halftime show.

That was you. No, but I was a cheerleader in high school. Oh, that’s it. Nope, I’m out. Nope. Not playing the game anymore with you. Not only. Very, very sore winner. But you have a whole lot of secret advantages. And I’m just, come on. I’m sure you’re good at something. I do have some kind of talent. Yes. Like one or two.

Like what? Like, um, like this.

Let’s get you some down.

You know my dad always talked about this party. Oh yeah. One of his favorite memories from working here. Ah, such a good tradition. It is. Thank you for coming with me. Yeah. All right. Listen up, kids. My lovely messes has a story for you that I’m sure you’re going to enjoy. So take it away, Dr. Mrs. Claus

Okay. When it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be. The first census took place while Cornus was governing Syria, so all went to be registered everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judea to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem because he was of the house and lineage of David to be registered with Mary, his Betroth wife, who’s with child, and so it.

That while they were there, the days were accomplished, that she should be delivered and she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger cuz there was no room for them in the end.

See, I know you were good at something. I mean, I guess I’m not a total loser. , you’re definitely a champion. Kisser. Can I get a victory lap?

What’s wrong? I was just thinking maybe we should move this to my bedroom.

You know, I’m surprised a man as vain as Xander would willingly cover up his muscles with all that padding

That’s it. What’s it? Flash colored filling the padding. The kidnapper was wearing a bodysuit under his clothes. Good. Why? Good question.

You are. Thanks MA’s. Email is in there along with all my research regarding the company. Thank you, Gwen. I know Xander’s a little hesitant to pursue this case, but it’s the right thing to do. Huh? That’s funny. What is Ben next? It’s Zander backwards. What a coincidence.

It was really sweet of you to get me this sale. Like I said, it’s not a big deal. It’s the least I could do. Well, I cannot wait to wear it. Why don’t you try it home like right now, it is Christmas morning. You are gay. What better time besides if it doesn’t fit? I wanna return it. Make sure I can get you the right size, okay?

Why not?

Holy nutcrackers. Excuse me. What Barry? Chris,

I’m, I’m sorry, what? What the hell is going on here?

Hey, hey, Mr. K. What’s happening, dude? I dunno who you think you’re nobody. And I mean, nobody talks to me and left on the voices. That’s very clear. He tried to do something to my family. That was a fatal mistake on his part. I’m going to destroy him. I would like to drink a toast to the health and happiness.

That’s a woman that I love.

You ready to be best man? Yeah. Hi Victor. Thank you. Carly, Vivian, Katherine, Nicole, Vivian. This is Vivian. Maggie, it’s not so fast. I have something to say. You can object to your own wedding. Says who? Bastar murderer. You live to make me miserable. It’s what you richly deserve. I’ve let you get away with a lot.

Paint me because I don’t listen to most of what you say. Sarah Lumi. She finally admitted. Oh, good God, Peggy, I love you, but I am not putting that ridiculous hat on my head. I got ordained in prison last year. You couldn’t take up macrame. I have so much to offer. Offer it to somebody else. Don’t let the doorknob pitch you in the ass on the way out.

Like fish in the barrel. I hope you believe me when I say the boy I really care about is your happiness. Most of you. That is, I took the liberty of letting myself in, Victor, my friend. I heard about your debilitating stroke and I heard about your debilitating coma . I could also give you a lovely piece of ye, oh my god, my eyes.

I need a drink. Anybody order a hooker

in an old age as a way of softening you, and at the end of the day, it’s family that counts. Go Victor. There’s no man that I consider a better friend to me than you’ve been. In my heart, you’re my best. Oh, Victor, I love you so much. Nothing else matters. 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. You inspire me to be a better man. I have loved you and looked up to you my entire life. I know I can’t change overnight, but I’m gonna. I’m gonna try and be a better father. The risk of contradicting you. I think you do.

Okay. I love you, grandpa. I love you too. You know there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to keep you happy and safe. Respect. He’s just gone. You’ll always be a part of my family. We love you. I love you very much. Thank you.

It’s wonderful to be home, which is exactly where I’m going. You know, we’re lucky.

Damn lucky. Yeah. I love you. Love of you too. You are still the man.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Merry Christmas. A

Oh God. Maddy, honestly, you never ceased to amaze me. Snagging a holiday layover at she Kiki. What a poo. Well, of course I’m gonna want all the bloody details. No, we’re not talking about me. But since you ask, thankfully, I have no details to. Yes. It turns out I didn’t have to help Xandra out of that little jam after all.

don’t worry. I made sure that he knows that he still owes me one. Why does he owe you one?

Hey, for losing the last of marbles. Now there’s a Christmas miracle. This about a Christmas miracle. Well, if I tell you it won’t come true. No baby. No. That’s a birthday wish, right? Yeah, no. I was saying that it’ll be quite the Christmas miracle. If you and I can go over to Doug and Julie’s in time for the party, given all the crimping you’ve been doing in there.

Rip thing. Fixed my hair. Well, whatever you did, you look lovely as usual. Uh, well, so should we head out then? Oh, no. I have a much better idea. You too. Yeah. I thought maybe we could just skip this party and go straight to the after party festivities. Hmm. Somebody is very naughty boy. . Yes. Well, maybe you want to be nice.

You get this? You said that we weren’t exchanging gifts until tomorrow. We aren’t, but this one, I. This one has to be open tonight.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, honey, that sounds just wonderful. Wow.

Honey. Julie just walked in with, uh, all the Horton ornaments in the big box. You remember that hope? Yes. Yes. Uh, I, I’ll, I’ll let you say hello to her in a second. Yes. Oh, thank you. And, and Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you, princess. Hope. Hope darling. Hi. Oh, you can’t imagine how much your father and I wish that you were here with us right now.

Of course. Well, I’m expecting nothing less than a, a gold medal for every one of your skating students at the next Olympics, . Of course. I love you too, sweetheart. Okay. Okay. Bye-Bye. She sounds in good spirits. She does. God bless her. She has just devoted to those skating students. Yeah, but still I know.

That’s great. But I, I wish I didn’t have to talk to her long distance. Yeah, I miss her too. Wow. I miss ’em all. You realize this is the first Christmas that we won’t have one child or any of our grandchildren here to celebrate with us in. Hope she’s in Montreal and Sierra and Ben are sailing the great wide ocean with Little Bow.

And Sean Douglas and and Bell are in Africa with Claire. Lucky you got me here, kiddo. I’m very lucky I’ve got you and I know it. Poor Eli Lonnie and the twins, their first Christmas all apart, far, far away in Maryland. It’s just so depressing. Julie, dear, how I know Valerie is there for Eli and the twins, and that’s great, but I would just like to know that they’re okay.

You know, I would, I, I would give everything just to see them with my own two eyes. I think that can be arranged.

Hey, grandma is,

Holy, precious darling. Look. Yeah, I, I seen them. Dear . Oh my sweet sweetheart. Merry Christmas. Your grandma miss you.

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

Did you know they were coming? Honey, I was sworn to secrecy you. Devil Uhhuh. I don’t think we should invoke, you know who? Especially after what happened last Christmas point taken. I’m so thrilled to have them here. It’s real. It’s real. Grandpa, take a look at your great grandpa, darling, isn’t he? You? You are so beautiful.

You’ve grown up so much. I won’t be able to call you little Jules much longer

sweethearts. So how on earth did you manage to cross CrossCountry from Maryland with these two all by yourself? Uh, grandma, I have learned to do a lot of things on my own since Lonnie went away.

Say something. It’s an ornament. Yeah, but it’s not just any ornament. It’s, it’s your ornament for the Horton treat. Isn’t that just for family? Baby, you are family. You’re my husband.

What’s wrong? It’s just I don’t feel worthy of it having an on your family’s tree.

Tonight’s your family’s big tree trimming party. His dad’s getting tunnels and Charlotte ready?

I’ll bring them tomorrow so they can wish you a Merry Christmas,

Christmas without you.

I am gonna do my best to make it okay for the kids, cuz I know that’s what you would want

for me.

Miss you more every day. Not less. Like some people expect, they say that it, it gets easier with.

Every day, I can’t

see your smile,

hear your voice, feel you close to me.

Like I said, I miss. More, not less,

but uh, but I will, I will see to it that the, that our babies find some joy is Christmas. They will,

I’ll be surrounded by a lot of people that loved you.

I love you, Abigail.

I love you forever.

You’re here.

Well, of course I’m here. Where else would I be on Christmas Eve? But here with our precious girl, I thought Jack was picking you up from the airport. Well, I knew that he was gonna be on granddaddy duty, so I took a car service. The flowers are lovely, Chad.

She should.

She should be getting ready to hang her order in helping the kids hang theirs.

I know.

Um, Mattie, I’m, I’m gonna have to phone you back. Hi. Hello there, little lad. I didn’t see or hear you come in. Shouldn’t you be upstairs getting ready for the party? I’m already ready. Ah, so I see. Why don’t you look very sharp indeed. Um, maybe you should be a good big brother and go help little Charlotte get ready too.

Grandpa Jack is helping. Why does Zander, you, didn’t anyone ever teach you that it’s impolite to eavesdrop? How wasn’t eavesdropping you? Just talk loud. What did you do for him? What did I do for Zander? Um, I just did him a favor. That’s all. What kind of favor?

An ornament with my name on it doesn’t belong in the same forest as your family, let alone the same Hello family Christmas tree.

You have heard all about how my family is filled with saints. Did you also know that it’s filled with sinners? Yeah. Right. No, I’m serious. My dad and my uncle Bill’s rivalry over my Aunt Laura was. Bad. It almost turned deadly. Really? Mm-hmm. and Julie? It’s not Julie. Julie and her mother, my aunt ADD, fell in love with the same excon.

Who? They met through my Uncle Bill. No. Mm-hmm. . Wait. Who? Like Julie was in love with some ex-Con. Doug. Doug. Doug. Doug. Doug. And don’t even get me started on my cousins. That’s a whole other horror show. So, but say you, my husband still think you’re not worthy.

Save by the knock.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Jack . Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you. It is so good to see you here with us little ones. Now it is Christmas. Yeah. Hey sweetheart. Why don’t we see if we can get these two guys upstairs and show them your lay room. Oh, that’s a great idea. Yeah. Oh, thank you so much for hiring Lucy.

In there. Here, and look out the little ones. Oh, let me tell you about Lucy. She’s a sophomore at Salem High. She lives on this street. Daddy, I think she wants a little nappy pool in the playroom. I’ll take her. Well, we’ll go get up there with her now. Now Lucy’s waiting. That’s good.

Patios fer.

Good luck.

Isn’t this cream? Yeah. So wonderful to have. Now it’s Christmas. It is. It’s Christmas. cookies and kitties.

Jack’s in charge now.

Okay, darling. Really, how are you coping? Oh, I’m not gonna lie to you, grandma. It’s been tough. I’m sure Valerie has been a big help. Oh, yeah. No, my, my mom’s been great. I don’t know how I would’ve done it without her, but as much as the twins love them, some Grandma Val, she is no substitute for their mom.

Why you are persistent, aren’t you? If persistent means curious, then yep. Hmm. Right. But the truth is,

can you keep a secret?

I helped Zander pick out cousin Sarah’s Christmas present. Can’t you do that? Well, Because I have exquisite taste. But you cannot say anything about this to anyone. Okay. Because Zander wouldn’t want Sarah to know that he needed help. So this has to be Oh, secret. Yeah. What are you too conspiring about?

Well, I was on my way over to Julie’s then. I thought I’d swing by to see if the two of you needed a lift. Oh, thank you. Magus. Very thoughtful of you. But I feel like I, uh, have walked in on something. No, we’re, we’re fine. We’re all fine here. No, we are not fine here. Sanders being hard on himself. He has reservations about putting his ornament on the Horton family tree.

Sander, your Uncle Victor, not his own ornament. When he and I got. And the Hortons were okay with that? Oh, not exactly at first. Some members at the family, they were a little crazy that their uncle Mickey’s widow had taken up with the reformed Greek mobster. See, I knew it. Ha, but they got over themselves when, uh, they realized how much Victor.

Loved each other

So you, my dear son-in-law, you are also reformed, but not just reformed. You are a wonderful husband to my daughter. And drum roll please. You also say, Bonnie from that sadistic kidnapping clown. So face it, Xander. You’re one of the good guys now a hero.

Those poor little angels, their first Christmas without their mother. It’s not nearly as sad as what Charlotte and Thomas are going through. And Chad, oh my God, I, I can’t even imagine. Nor can. The good news is that Lonnie will be eligible for parole in a year. So at least I get to reassure the kids that their mom will be coming home soon.

Chad can’t make that promise to his, I’m, I’m just so sorry that I haven’t been here for you more. Chad, don’t, don’t apologize. You had to take care of yourself. You did that. You’re here. Yes, I am back. And being back and, and facing the reality again of losing our precious abi I, it’s different Without the crutch of, of being high, I feel different.

I don’t know, just more, uh, less self-centered in my grief. I. I’m worried about you, Chad, how you’re doing, how the kids are doing.

We’re managing, yeah, those, those kids are resilient. I always say they get that from their mother. They get that from you too. Well, I don’t know about that. Yeah. Honestly, the, um, Focusing on other things has, has really helped, uh, work. Yeah. I, I, I heard that you’re, uh, you’re working for Stephanie’s PR firm.

Is that right? How’s that going? Yeah, it’s, it’s been a lifeline, huh? I mean, Stephanie is a, is a great boss. She’s a great friend. It’s good. Sounds like you’re getting close. Yeah. We have this shit in here. Oh, it’s cold out here. Yeah. Well, well, you. And we, uh, head over to that Christmas Eve party where there’s a warm house full of a lot of people who can’t wait to see you.

Merry Christmas, my angel.

Why sweet? Eli? I missed you so much. I missed you too. Both of you. You know the kids are always asking about you. Oh. I am thrilled that you’re here with the twins for Christmas. I just can’t imagine anything that would make this day any better. You sure about that?

We were hardly conspiring. We were just, um, bonding a little, weren’t we, darling? Well, I’m glad to hear that. So get ready for some more family. Bondi, Eli, the twins just showed up. Ah, Buffy. Yes it is. Yes it is. So, uh, let’s say we get in there and start talking it up. What do you say? Sport and then the ornaments.

And then the ornaments. Right? Well, I, I will meet you out there because I have to go check something in the. What does that, can we have a now after the ornaments, come on, let’s go see the twins. Come on and we’ll see you soon.

God nosey. Little How is Bonnie? Ugh. Well, she’s still suffering from that hole Kidnapping ordeal. She sees demented clowns everywhere she looks. I really hope that she follow through. I’m going to see a therapist. Yes, so do I, but for now, she’s alive and she’s well. Thanks to you, Xander. We’re all very grateful to you for that, for your bravery.

You, my brave husband, have a very important appointment to keep with a certain Christmas tree and I intend to make sure that you keep it. Ah, and there’s no arguing with her when she has that look on her face. Don, I. And I can’t fight off both of you, so let’s trim ourselves a tree, shall we?

Grandma, this is my big boy. Oh, . Oh, oh. It’s so good to see you. Merry Christmas grandma. Merry Christmas to you, my dear. Oh, where’s your sister? Oh, CICE upstairs with Jules and Carver. And, uh, Oh, Lucy, that sweet girl from down the street. Yep. 15 years old and very responsible. Oh wow. Bless her for giving us her time today.

Huh? Jennifer, why didn’t you let me pick you up at the airport? Oh, well

I had to make a quick stop first. Alright then. Well, sweetheart, I missed you. Oh, so much. I missed you.

What’s going on, man? How you doing? I’m well, brothers. How are you?

Take it each day as it comes. That’s all you can do. I know this Christmas is gonna be a tough one for you and the kids. For you too though, man. Oh, you know, thank God we all got each other. Damn that the kids are surrounded by so many people that love them. Yeah. Anyway, speaking of kids, I’m better check up on the twins now.

Yeah. Good to see you. Good to see you too.

This is turning out to be a lovely Christmas after all. Indeed, it is. There’s nothing like being with family for the holidays.

Well, I have found someone who wants to say hello. Hi, Charlotte. Fuck it. How you’ve grown. Seth, come sit right here. Aw, where are carver jewels? They both went down for an nap. Oh my goodness. Wow. . Good to see you too. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Well, I would love to drink in all this family. Goodness, but I have to sit out the desserts.

When’s already doing that? When? Allie and I are doing the desserts, so if you all will, excuse me. Uh oh. Grandma’s on the war pass. Uh oh indeed. Did I? But now it’s officially Christmas

What do you think you’re doing with those? Well, this is British Christmas pudding. It’s a holiday tradition in the uk. Surely you have room in that iron stomach of yours for something other than pedestrian donuts.

My beloved grandmother created the recipe for those donuts. Their Horton family legacy passed on through the generations. She also created this beautiful home that you are squatting in. So if I were you, I think I would show a little. Respect. Hmm. I think it’s you who should be showing me some respect, because if it weren’t for me, your precious cousin Jennifer would be spending the holidays in Statesville.

Hello. Don’t tell us that you started the party without us. Oh my goodness. So, so good to see you. Oh, my cousin, it’s so good to see you. Yes, aunt Maggie. Oh, hello, Jennifer. Oh, oh. Merry Christmas darling. Aren’t you? And you, Jack. It’s so good to be home

here. You finally made an honest man out of this. Oh, I dunno if I’ll go that far. Oh. I’m like . Welcome to the family. Zander. Nice mate. Yeah, that means a lot. Right? I know you and Lonnie didn’t always have the highest opinion for me. Just a family. Yeah. Well that changed after you helped rescue your twins from that crazy ass Vivian Alama.

I’m just glad I could do. How’s Lonnie doing? Uh, she’s counting down in days, but she’ll be home soon. Hm. Will you please give her our love? I will. I’ll also tell her that this man has changed his life and you’re making our cousin a very happy lady.

That can’t be true. No. This is just another one of your manipulations. No manipulation at all. You can ask Jennifer if you don’t believe me, although I think that might be quite stressful for her to have to relive the accident. I am guessing it was quite traumatic for her to have to get behind the wheel of a car high as a kit and run down her stepdaughter.

Wouldn’t wanna trigger a relapse for her. Now, would we, what is in this for you, Gwen? What’s your angle? Why are you keeping it a secret? Some sort of insurance. Are you’re planning on blackmail? Jennifer, are you planning on using it as a get outer jail free card? Oh Lord, goodness sake. No. Stop. Look.

Jennifer and I will probably never be friends, but she’s my father’s wife and I love my father, which is why I haven’t said anything and I’m not going to

now. Then is there room enough at your Christmas Eve party for me and my pudding? I’ll go ahead serve your bloody pu, but there will never be room enough on the Horton Christmas tree for an or. With your name on it? Mm-hmm. , I don’t think you’ll have much say in the matter when you’ve, you know, cashed in your chance.

I’ll have a say in the matter. I’ll always have a say in the matter, even if I have to send a directive from the great beyond.

Standby baby. I’m actually a bit chilly. I’m gonna run upstairs and grab a sweater. Hurry back,

Thomas. Hey. Hi cousin Sarah. I hope that you’re having a nice c. It’s okay. I miss Mommy though. Yeah, of course you do. We all miss her very much. But Tylee said she’s looking after us from heaven. Yes. Yeah, of course she is. I hope you are the present and, but you, I’m sure I will. Aunt Gwen helps him pick it.

What? Oops. It was supposed to be a secret. She only told me cuz I heard her on the phone. What are you talking about? I hurt for Tell somebody that’s saying your older one.

I’ll keep your secret.

Gwen look. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Hello Maggie. Hi Gwen. How are you? Well, and Jennifer, Merry Christmas. Same to you, Gwen. I’m glad that you are. You are doing better. My dad tells me you’re doing better. I’m glad. Thank you. Right. Hi. Where’s Sarah? You know what? Actually, it doesn’t matter. I, I just need to tell you, but she’s, hi Gwen.

Merry Christmas. Same to you, Sarah. Everybody. It’s getting to be that time. Who wants to trim the Horton Christmas tree? Oh, wait, wait. But it’s dog. Are you gonna sing for us this?

Oh, who are you texting? Uh, Maggie. Just making sure she got home Safe and sound. Aw. So are the kids all sleeping? Oh yes. All four are nestled snug in their bed streams of St. Nicholas. Poor Eli’s in bed too. Totally exhausted. Well, traveling with kids will do that to you. Ah, true, true. So do you wanna go to sleep too?

Actually, sleep is not what I had on my mind. Jack and a house full of people. I know I can be quiet since when. All right, Mrs. Dev, maybe show you some of my steal moves. Oh, . Oh, okay. . All right. All right. Oh, hang on. One a second. Oh, oh. Phone. Oh, no. Ignore it. Ignore it. Oh, no, no. It’s jj. It’s JJ Johannesburg.

Hello. Oh. Oh. Hi, sweetheart. Oh, it’s so good to hear your voice. Merry Christmas to you.

Well, at least someone’s going to have a Merry Christmas.

There she is. You had some fun tonight, I hope. Yeah, I did up until a certain point. Oh yeah. I mean, of course it was sad too. Mm-hmm. , Abigail gone, and Lonnie not being there either, but your family were great. They made me feel so welcome, like I really belonged.

What’s. Well, I would’ve thought it’d be obvious it being Christmas and everything. Mm-hmm. . And You want me to open it now? What’s that? The midnight.

Is this the gift that Gwen help you pick out for me? What? That’s what she told. Apparently he overheard her telling someone that you owed her one. Oh, yeah. That it was, yes. No, I, I, I ran into it in the square when I was shopping and she could see that I was just clueless, had no idea what to get you, and yeah, she agreed to help me.

Let’s see what happens when you two put your heads together.

This is what you and Gwen picked out from me. Merry Christmas.

Oh, Abby. I did it my made it through my first Christmas Eve without you.

I hope it helped them. I’m sure it did.

Abby,

you’re here. I’m always here. You think a little thing like death is gonna come between a love like ours? No. No, not even that.

I miss you. I miss you.

You know, you said you needed to be strong for the kids. I think you should be strong for yourself too. There’s so much left for you to do. There’s so much joy for you to feel, and I’m gonna be with you every step of the way with you and Thomas and.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

See all that butter. That’s what makes it taste good. And the powdered sugar makes ’em pretty. Yeah, just like snowballs, right? See what’s perfect for this time of year. We always make these for Christmas. So why are they called Mexican wedding cookies? Well, that is a great question. I actually, I really don’t know, but in Mexico they’re called means power.

Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas, Santa. You’re not Santa.

That is terrific, James. Thank you. Really appreciate. I know you had to pull some serious strings to get this done, . I will. All right. Hey, take care and thanks again.

Ah, miss Shin, look, please call me one day. Okay. Wendy, what are you doing here?

Chloe last minute shopping, what gave it away? Well, we are meeting Brady for lunch. You should be here in the unit. Okay, well, I’m gonna hit up some more stores. My budget’s so much bigger this year after that huge promotion I got. When you were fired, didn’t you get me a present? Present? Oh, Rachel, it’s fine.

I don’t want anything from you. Okay. Uh, well, I hope you have a merry. I will, cuz I don’t need to see you. I’ll be with my real family.

Did you just say that we need to kidnap my daughter? That’s right. All right. Eric, I know you’ve been through a lot the last couple weeks, but you, what you are suggesting is, uh, insane Now. What’s insane is that Kristen’s got my mother’s life in her hands, along with Kayla and Kate Eric believe. I wanna put an end to this blackmailing thing as much as you do.

And like I said, that we need to hear Chris where she lives. Rachel’s the key

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

Kristen has two weaknesses. You and your daughter. I say we attack her there. We’ve gotta beat her at own game. Listen a game, Eric. Okay. Kristen has the serum that Marlena and Kate and Kayla need to survive. Not to mention the orchid required to make it, it’s the only one that exists that’s on the planet.

She’s holding over your head. Who’s to say she’s not gonna her in? She’s already forced you to move her in here. Who’s to say she’s not gonna ask you to sleep with her or even marry her? She said that the women will need additional doses in a couple months, maybe even a booster. Okay, but then I’m done.

All right. I’m free of the insanity at the hell you are. I guarantee she’s gonna claim that these women need booster shots for the rest of their lives. She has too much power. She needs to be. Brady, we have to do something. We need to do something now,

sweetheart. That wasn’t very nice. We need to be kind to everyone, especially on Christmas. Even people who tried to steal what belongs to us. Sorry. It’s okay, honey. It is. Because Rachel, Brady and I are family again. That’s what I wanted most for Christmas. Well wishes do come true, sweetheart. But mommy.

Mm-hmm. . When will I get my whole wish? We’ll talk about that later, honey. But you and daddy still aren’t married. You don’t even sleep in the same room.

I. Uh, I came to see John. No, I, I heard what happened at his grandmother’s memorial service yesterday, and I wanted to see if he’s okay. My nephew hasn’t yet come down from his room. I’m assuming he’s still asleep. Well, he must be exhausted after everything he’s been through.

Well, if you could just tell him I stopped by. Sure. But before you go, Wendy, I’ve left you several messages and haven’t heard back from you. Are you avoiding me? Of course not. Just I’m super busy. Oh, I get it. Yeah. Can you have a moment to talk now? Talk about what? Your little jaun to Jakarta.

Oh, you’re right. I’m not, I’m his helper.

You’re Lee. Should I say Mr. Shit, Peter, yet I could call you lame. Ariana Grace. Sorry mom. But I’ve been down this road before. One of your boyfriends putting on a show to try to get me to like it was Chad. Stephanie, you’re being very rude. Pro tip. I’m too old to believe in Santa.

Too old, huh? I didn’t realize because, well, I’m a lot older than you and I’m still a believer, but since you’re not, I guess I should send all these presents back to the North Pole.

Ho, ho, ho.

What’s wrong? Nothing really. It’s fine. You don’t look fine. Talk to me.

It’s just that it’s the time of the year that Philip, you remember we had to send Philip away to get to healthy meat? Yes. I just thought that he would’ve progressed. You know, I thought that maybe he would be released soon, but when I called the hospital, they, they wouldn’t even let me talk to him. Why not?

He’s had another major setback, and then the prison at the prison is a viral outbreak, so Lucas can’t have any visitors. I don’t. It’s bad enough that, you know, my kids aren’t with me at at Christmas, but to be cut off from the ones that need me the most from, and it’s just particularly intolerable. Okay.

What can I do? Anything? Just naming, thank you my love. But you know, at this point in life, what matters most about Christmas is being with your family. I should have realized when Will called me to tell me that he was staying in California. There was a sign of things to come. Hey, will may not be here, but Ally is.

I’m gonna give her a call, see if she can bring Henry back. No, no, no. Don’t do that. No. She’s busy with Chanel and Paulina. Hey, all the charges against him have been and dropped. I’m sure she would love to see you, honey. It’s okay. I just miss my family. That’s all. At the end. Oh my God. . Oh my God.

What surprise. I thought that you had to stay in Chicago though, that you were on call talk. No, I, I convinced my supervisor I had more important work to do. . The FDA has asked me to provide some follow up data on the experimental treatment we gave mom a few months ago. They just need to know that it’s safe.

Well, of course it’s safe. It’s saved my life. Oh, what kind of data are they looking for? Just civil blood work. Okay. We don’t have to worry about your mom’s health. She’s feeling perfect. Like, no, no, it, it’s just a, a formality cross. The ts dot the iss. In fact, I have everything I need right here in my bag, so we can just knock this out right here, right now.

Well, what if I refuse?

Oh, look, sweetheart, it’s nor a Jane and her mommy at the chocolate stand. Why don’t you go join them and get yourself work? There you go.

I’m getting extra whipped cream. All right,

So you and Brady are back together, but you’re not sleeping in the same room? No, we’re just taking things slowly. In other words, he won’t touch you with a 10 foot pole. No, Chloe, that is not true. We are becoming more intimate every day. Hmm. That’s not the impression I got from Rachel. Well, Rachel wasn’t there when Brady planted a hot kiss on Sister Mary Moira because he thought she was me in disguise.

Really? Mm-hmm. . And if you don’t believe me, you can ask the sister yourself. I’m sure she would love to tell you how she beat Bad, bad Brady with a ruler . So what you’re saying is the nuns saw more action than you ever will. What I am saying is that Brady is letting his God down. He wants me. How much is clear?

Whatever you say, Kristen. You know, I asked him what would happen next if it was me. He was kissing and he leaned into me, and the heat between us was off the chart. And we would’ve made love right there on that couch if John hadn’t walked in and ruined everything. But there will be another moment soon.

See, I plan to ring in the new year and Brady’s

everything you’re saying makes perfect sense except for one. What’s that? The part where I kidnap my own daughter? No, no. I’m not gonna do it. I’m not, I’m not gonna put Rachel through that kind of trauma. She’ll never know. She’ll never know. What are you, are you suggesting that we drug her? No, of course not.

Because we’re gonna make her believe that she’s going on a fun vacation with Uncle Eric. So she’ll, she’ll, she’ll enjoy her abduction. No, she’s gonna get a few days in the sun. Why? Kristen is losing her mind. And you’re gonna get that orchid and your daughter will be home. We save lives. Merry Christmas to all,

uh, Jakarta. Didn’t we already talk about that the other day? You and Johnny and I? We did, but we need to have our. Own separate conversation because unlike my nephew, you work for Damara. Now I understand that it was Johnny’s idea to commandeer the company jet and whisk you off on that romantic getaway, but you agreeing to it was egregiously irresponsible of you.

I am so sorry I, I know what I did was wrong and I. Terrible about it.

I don’t know if you thought your brother signing off on the expenses, made you think that I wouldn’t find out how deceptive you’ve been, but Wendy, Wendy, look at me. I remember what it’s like to be young and in love. It’s great for for you to put your career on the line. Put your professional standing at risk.

I, I, I can’t understand it. Unless, unless what? Unless there’s another reason you were in Jakarta that you’d care to share.

It’s so pretty. That’s. means double luck. And I’m lucky because when I marry your mom, I won’t have only one beautiful, smart, incredibly fashionable lady in my life. I’ll have two and I’ll have three daddies. How do you feel about that special, I guess, I mean, how many kids can say that You are so special my love, and you might be double lucky, but I am the luckiest person in the whole wide world.

Thank you. My gift.

You are so welcome

you guys. This is gonna be the best Christmas ever.

Can I wear it to the wedding? Of course, I was hoping you would,

if this will really give me luck. I wanna wear it every day. New Year’s weddings are also considered lucky in. So we are off to a very auspicious start. Suspicious. No baby auspicious. It means, um, likely to succeed or pointing to happiness. Double happiness. Mommy, when you get married, are you gonna change your last name?

Daddy Will and Daddy Sonny did it. Oh well, uh, I’m not. I, uh, I need to think about it. But speaking of Daddy Sammy, you know he’s gonna be here any minute to pick you up. Are you all packed? I just need to make sure that my new bracelet matches with all my outfits.

Someone knows the way to a Hernandez woman’s heart. Well, I hope this Hernandez woman knows that I don’t expect her to take my.

You know, I, I became a demir when I married Steph, and, and I stayed when, even when I thought he was fed. But of course that worked because I was the head of the company and now I’m not. And Stephanie and I are divorced and we hate each other’s guts. I can’t wait to feel like my very own person again. I think you’ve always been your own person.

Gabriela Hernandez Shin. How does that sound? Perfect.

What else would I have been doing in Kar? You tell me, Wendy. Hey, uh, what, uh, what, what are you doing here? I, I was worried about you after yesterday, the explosion at the church. Oh, yeah. Uh, Tom, I’m, I’m fine and I’m sorry I didn’t call you, and I’m sorry that my uncle here is giving you the third degree about our trip to Jakarta.

Look, I was being impulsive. Okay. I, I asked Wendy to reserve the jet because I wanted to impress. And did it impress her? Yeah. I mean, I wouldn’t be impressed. And, and now that, uh, my stellar first impression has been made, I can promise you that it, it won’t be happening again.

See that it doesn’t

you, you don’t want me to draw your blood pull. I mean, I haven’t had any setbacks. I haven’t had any side effects. I mean, no issues whatsoever. So this is exactly why I need your blood, so I can prove that this treatment is 100% safe and effective. Plus, it’ll get the FDA off my back and I get to keep my medical right.

I’ll do it. I do it. I damn will better get a lollipop.

Wow, Kristen, that sounds like an awful lot of wishful thinking to me. Hmm. When does a bird brain like you know about thinking, Hmm. I know that when it comes to Brady, you are completely diluted. Ah. Why do you care so much about Man Brady? I mean, you moved on from him in about two seconds. I hear it’s getting really serious with my little brother jetting off to Miami for the new.

Who told you that doesn’t matter. But if all goes well, maybe this time next year, you’ll be my sister-in-law. Woo-hoo. What a hoot. you and s, Stephan, me and Brady all sitting at the holiday table together. My money says that this time next year you’ll be back in prison for the countless felonies that you are bound.

You know what, Chloe? I’ve changed and Brady knows that. So you’re dumping you from me. It’s like trading in an all clunker for a brand new sports car. I make him incredibly happy. Well, if Brady’s so happy with you, then why he stand you up for lunch? He’s running late. Ah, just keep telling yourself that.

And while you’re at it, you should keep an eye on your kid. She’s wandering off, but given who her mother is, I can’t say I blame her. What I said to Rachel about being nice on Christmas. I take it back. Hmm. And for what it’s worth, I would rather die than sit across a holiday table from you. Hmm. Duly noted.

Sorry, bro. I am not kidnapping my daughter on Christmas. Fine. We’re gonna do it afterwards. No, you’re not hearing me. Okay. It’s not happening ever. And why you let Kristen continue to torture you? My mom, Kayla and Kate relapse and possibly die. She said that she would supply the additional doses and if she doesn’t, how long are you gonna rely on Psycho to do the right thing?

Or do you wanna finally take control of your life again for all of us? Who knew you could be So Ruth. And I would’ve been the good guy for years. Where’s the God in me? Absolutely nowhere. Come on, man. I wouldn’t say that. Well, I would. I’m tired of being the victim and a doormat. Kristin Amir. She raped and drugged me.

All right. I feel absolutely no obligation to have any mercy on her, so we need to play hardball you and her out.

Thank you for being so amazing with Ariana. Oh, my father isn’t exactly the warm and fuzzy type. I promise that I’d be different with my children.

Yeah. You know, we haven’t really discussed that. Whether or not you. Kids of your own. I’m, you know, I, cuz I can’t, Gabby, you will and Sonny are raising an amazing child. Being part of that, being our stepdad. That’s all I need. The cookies smells so good. Well, first two batches already. Um, your mom made these and I made these.

Can I test them? See which ones I like better. . Wait an Eggo, two cookies, girl. Yeah.

Well, the winner is,

oh my gosh.

Hmm. Do you think s Stephan’s suspicious about what we were doing in Jakarta? He’s definitely not happy we went. Honestly, I could hardly focus on a word he was saying because I felt so guilty about keeping the secret from him. Yeah. I’m right there with you. I wanted to blurt out. Ralph. Fran washed you into thinking who he.

Gabby don’t you love her? Honestly, telling your uncle that could change his whole life. Yeah. And ruin my fathers and your brothers. He is marrying Gabby next week, and part of me is excited, you know, because Lee is so excited. I can’t stop thinking about how none of this would be happening if Stefan remembered how he really feels about Gabby.

Hey, I’m just coming to see you. Hey. Anything in there for me? Nope. Oh, you had a vaccine? Uh, I was, but um, I got a little delayed by her sister. Oh no. What’d she say? Nevermind. I don’t, I don’t really wanna waste another minute talking about Kristen. Kristen place, God with people’s lives. It’s wrong kidnapping.

Isn’t Rachel’s your daughter? I only do this if you signed off on it, but if you don’t want it,

are we interrupting?

So since when is 10 vials, a little bit of love. You did great, mom. Sorry. I don’t really mean to complain. You know that I’m grateful, right? Say here. Well, I’m grateful that you’re doing so well. I am gonna run these to the hospital and I will be back as soon as possible. I am so happy you’re here, honey. Me too.

Me too. I love you both so much. Love you. Love you too. Bye.

Okay. Did you know that he was coming home? I have no idea. Oh my God, I couldn’t be more happy. . Well, ma always said that family love grows warmer at Christmas. I know I said that it was specific family, but of course you know that we have the family. We were born. The family we choose. Right? And I’m so happy that we chose to be with each other again after all these years.

I’m into that. Although when I proposed you, uh, said no at first because I was on my death bed. Yeah. Convinced there was no cure. But I told you I would never give up no matter what. You would be my wife. Yeah. I thought that was only gonna last a day. Yeah. And now we are in it for the long haul. We most certainly are.

Yes. We’re

okay. Now that Ariana’s off, I can start wrapping presents. Don. I get a reward for winning the best cookie contest. What? The sheer satisfaction of beating me is not enough. Hmm. I think I could be. a bit more satisfied.

oh, hold on. It’s, it might be the seamstress. Let me just, hi Gracik. Hi. Are you done with Ariana Stress? What the hell? No, no, no. Do not do anything. No, I, no. I’ll be right there. Excuse me. I told her

You go, what’s this? Your Christmas present since you’ll be in New York tomorrow. Oh, well, I thought that we would wait and exchange gifts in Miami. Yes, but this one’s a little. Time sensitive. Okay.

Oh my goodness. Are you kidding me? Center orchestra seats to a mall and the night visitors stuff. And how did you get these? It’s been sold out for months. Let’s call it a little bit of, uh, Christmas magic. This is such a wonderful, thoughtful gift. Thank you. There are five tickets here. Yeah. You, Nancy, joy Parker.

And one extra could be Mike. Nancy wants to take a date or Craig, or if they have plans, take me. Don’t you have plans in Salem, uh, with the dysfunctional Dems? Huh? Well, they are your family. Well, I was thinking we could spend Christmas in New York with your family and then fly down to Miami. Ah, but this is your first Christmas since, uh, since coming back from the day.

Yeah. I just,

being in that. Those people after everything that happened yesterday at Susan’s memorial service, I might be a little too much,

but hey, if you don’t want me tagging along, you just say the word. No. Eric and I, we were just, uh, discussing our holiday plans. Hey, kiddo. Merry almost Christmas. You’ll never guess what I put under the tree for you. Hmm. Am I in my dream house better? Hmm. A puppy ? No. You’ll never guess. See if you can read my mind.

Hmm.

You were supposed to meet us for lunch today. I got talking to Eric and, uh, lost track of time. You could have texted me. Yeah, well, we had a unpleasant interaction with Chloe, so we decided to come home. Oh, I see. Mm-hmm. . Oh, did you know that she and Stephan are going to Miami for New Year’s? No. No, I didn’t know that.

But thank you so much for sharing that. Appreciate it.

Johnny will you try to rationalize this all we want, but deep down, we know what happened. What is happening is wrong yet, but we agreed to keep quiet because I don’t wanna hurt my dad, and you don’t wanna hurt your brother. I’m still sick over what they did. Lee ordering Rolf to brainwash Stephan so he could have Gabby for himself.

Your dad not telling Stefan he’d been brainwashed so he could get back on top of Demira. I know. Okay. It’s a big secret. Now we’re lying saying we went to Jakarta because we’re romantically involved. I mean, of course my brother and your dad know the. Everyone else thinks for dating

now. I guess there’s no reason to pretend any longer, you know, maybe we could just, I don’t know. Fake break up.

So you don’t mind dealing with my crazy family? Not at all. It’ll be a. Well, if you really feel that way, then I would love for you to come to New York with me. Thank you, Chloe. I am excited. Wow. It’ll be great to see Parker again, huh? Oh my goodness. You won’t even recognize him. He’s grown like a foot since last time you saw him.

He’s still a big banana mate fan. Huge. Then I got the right kid. Ah, you didn’t have to do that. It’s my pleasure. What was very thoughtful of you? Thank you.

Oh, no, I just realized that I shipped all of um, Rex gifts to Chicago. Seeing you healthy as the only gift he needs. Absolutely not everyone needs a present to open on Christmas, and then there are some special people who open one the day before. Go ahead. You have others, but this is the big one,

huh? Carrie?

A trip to Zurich? Yes. To see Austin and Carrie Anella.

Oh no, I thought that, I thought that you’d be happy, Katie. I love it. Matter of fact, I love it so much. I got you the exact same thing.

Oh my God. It’s a missile tongue. I made it at school for mommy and daddy. Ah. If they stand under it, they have to kiss. Right? Well, you know, you only have to kiss if it’s a real missile. Nobody told me that. Now I have to go find a real missile.

You trained her well. Oh wow. You know what? It’s only natural for a child to want her parents to be together. I haven’t done anything to encourage it. I don’t believe that for a second. You know what, Eric? Don’t you have enough to deal with in your own love life without budding into ours? Don’t have a love life.

Oh, but Brady, we’re getting closer every day, becoming a family again. And I know family means everything to you. You’d never wanna do anything to let them down. Right?

Fake breakup. Meaning we pretend we don’t like each other anymore. Yeah. You know, I’d probably have to stage a couple fights. Make it believable. What? Like in front of Allie and Chanel? Yeah, it’s Stephan, Gabby. I don’t wanna do that. I think it would be easier to just keep doing what we’re doing. Al what? Uh, fake dating.

I guess I, yeah, yeah. I, I, I think so. Plus if we, uh, you know, if we fake broke up, what would I do with this? You didn’t have to get me anything. I wanted to. I felt bad. I didn’t get anything. I didn’t expect you to. I just, uh, I was, was walking by Saxton. The other day, and I saw this reminded me of you, you most of, uh, what I told my uncle Stephan about us and Jakarta was made up.

But it is true. I am a little impulsive at times. And, um, maybe I did wanna impress you just a little.

That’s beautiful.

Help you.

Hmm. Hello Gabby. Excuse me. We have a wedding Atti emergency to deal with. Oh yeah. Next time we see you, you’ll be husband and wife. The wedding isn’t until next week. Yes, well, Chloe and I are flying to New York tonight and afterwards to Miami to ring in the new year, so it’s too bad you won’t be there when Lee and I become men and white, but I’m sure there’s gonna be plenty of pictures online, so you can click through there and see what you.

Well, congratulations to you both, Stephanie and I wish you the best. Yes. So

well, what can I say? Great minds. I mean, at least it isn’t a gift of the Magi kind of situation. Pardon? Well, you, Neil Henry’s story where the husband sells his watch to buy his wife a comb. She cut her hair and Right. Right. See our guests didn’t cancel each other out, shows how much we love each other, right?

So we’ll take two trips to Switzerland. One to go ski and one to, I don’t know, swim in Lake Buser. And what do you think I did right The way you think?

No, please don’t stop. Mike Cow . Okay, so clean Bill of Health, right? It’s the holidays. We’re not gonna have the results for a few. Oh, that’s great. So just worry all the way through Christmas. No, this is not at all. I’m, I’m sure everything’s fine. Listen to our son, the brilliant doctor now who is ready for Agna.

Oh, . That’s good. Little early for that I think. Well, it’s never too early. You’re start enjoying time with family and this family’s got a lot to celebrate. So I say we start right here. Well, okay.

You know that I would never let my family down, and that loyalty is so critically important more than they’ll ever know. Well, I’m gonna go check in on Rachel. Excuse me.

You want to tell me she’s not gonna put the screws to you until she hands over the orchid. That’s if she.

She’s gonna have us under her thumb, you and all of us forever until we do something about it.

Okay? I hate to admit it, but Rachel is the best leverage that I got, so I gotta use it. You had promised me to say, I promise you Rachel is going to be safe the entire time. I give you my word. Remember, this is gonna be the best thing for her. Two.

Okay. Let’s do.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Good morning, doc. Merry Christmas E oh oh. Bye.

Wow. Strawberries and whipped cream breakfast in bed. I think you’re spoiling me. You deserve bed so much more. It looks really beautiful. Thank you. You toss and turned all night. Oh, I hope I didn’t keep you awake. I’m not worried about you. So talk to.

Last night at the chapel and when the explosion happened before I even had time to process what happened? I was thinking about, so about someone about.

Lucy’s been known to have God in churches. And then, um, I woke up this morning and I realized that she’s living here with us and we are all just pretending we’ve got this charade going on, pretending that everything is fine and normal and. Something about it being Christmas makes it even worse. I just, I don’t, I don’t understand what’s going on with her.

Mm-hmm. and why Brady is going along with it. Yeah. Yeah. Why is that? Well, you know, I, I do feel like I got a little closer to her once I, I told her that you and I got in a big fight. It didn’t get us. And I’m, I am not sure how much more of this I can take neither doc, because when I was making nice to her and I was telling her so much a great big heart, she had my arms and my hands were tremon.

Cause all I could think about was doing was putting them around her throat. Now, if I am that close to throttling, Kristen, I can only imagine what Brady feels like.

Morning sunshine. Well, again, no,

no. As having such high hopes that this would be a start of a Christmas East of Kristen, just because it’s Christmas doesn’t take away from the fact that you are still blackmailing. And that you have the lives of three women that you have threatened and, and they’ve been through enough. Okay? Those three women actually owe me their lives.

Why can’t you see it? From my point of view? Brady. Huh? I, I snatched them from the jaws of death. And everyone in this house, except for Rachel, treats me like an interloper. And that is the thanks I get.

Ej. Hi. Do you, uh, do you feel out for some breakfast? Uh, yeah. Thank you. Oh my God, look at the time. I should have been up by now Holly. And I thought it was best for you to get a good night’s sleep, but it’s Christmas Eve and she’s having a great time down in the kitchen helping with Christmas cookies.

Thank you for looking out for her. Thank you again for all of this. You’re welcome. Um, just now, just before I knocked, I heard you cry in your sleep. A nightmare. Sorry, Nicole. You were just in a church where a bomb went off. Don’t apologize for having a nightmare. Would you like to talk about it?

I don’t. I don’t remember. Here’s a shot in the. Was it about Eric?

Oh, so you’re awake. It’s about time. I’m officially unemployed. I can sleep in as long as I like. There’s coffee. You might need it before I, I share with you what I just read online. What? Tell me,

look, I dunno how to break this deal. Your mother was in an explosion last night. Nicole too. You ran a church. I know. You’re fine. You just showed up at my doorstep last night and didn’t even say a thing about it. We had other things on our minds.

Hey, good morning. Good morning. Merry Christmas Eve. What’s that? Oh, she is so cute. Chanel’s first Christmas course. I wasn’t there for Lonnie’s. Here you go. Thanks.

I’m not doing crying over Christmas pass. Oh, you’re not gonna help a damn thing. What’s that? Chanel and Allie made you a box of Christmas cookies. Oh, that’s very sweet. But why did they send them here? I’ll be outta here in a couple of hours. Oh, so the, so when did Bell schedule the bell hearing? Hearing what time?

There is not going to be a hearing sweetheart. Not today.

Knew what she was doing by stalling. So the court adjourned yesterday till after the holidays. I’m so sorry.

So what? Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas to me.

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

I know this is a disappointment, but not a surprise. Oh, I have faith in Bell, but that Melinda Trask, she’s just pure evil. Making me Miss Christmas with my family. Outta pure spite. Well, I’m not, I’m not gonna just sit here and do nothing. Do you, do you have that statement? I had Stephanie write up announcing that I’d be stepping down, won’t be sworn in as.

Ah, you know, it, it, it still needs work. I I, I think we should wait until after the new year. Abraham. Abraham, I see right through you. I know what you’re doing. You’re stalling cuz you don’t want me to do it. But this is the only way to guarantee that you stay on as mayor and to share that. That’s all I want for Christmas.

Paul. You don’t need to do any of that. Abraham. I want that statement. Put out this.

Sloan Peterson, she’s gonna have a revenge on me after all.

Hmm. So this Ava person, she blew up an entire church, just a secret revenge on EJ Derro. Apparently sound sounds like my type of gout,

Too soon. Yeah. Well, she was ready for innocent people to die. Right. You’re right. You did say your mom was okay. All right. Yeah, she’s fine. She did tell me that Nicole was hurt. What did you do? What made me remember when we’re hurt and how bad we can be for each other when she was horrible to Jada. And what did I do when I found out she was hurt?

I ran over the hospital as fast as I could to see if she was alright. I mean, what am I thinking?

Seeing Eric at the hospital last night was unexpected, you know, with how he ended things. Of course, he went to the hospital, he’s guilty. He knows he was wrong. That woman didn’t have an abortion because you decided to have a conversation with her,

but don’t read too much into last night’s either. Probably some vestigial reflex from his time as a priest because the man who made those horrible accusations to your face is not pining for you. The speed with which she jumped in the bed with that sleazy lawyer. I should tell you that.

Thanks for reminding me. Eric has moved on. Let him

Yeah, you right,

you’re right. It is awful that Marlena hasn’t thanked you for saving her life. But then again, um, she doesn’t know that you saved her life because we couldn’t tell her that you saved her life because then she would find out that the only reason you did it was to get yourself into her house. Okay? That doesn’t change the fact that she is alive, thanks to me, and you might wanna think about how you talk to me.

Oh, because she is gonna need another dose, which will keep her alive, and maybe you’ve forgotten. But I am the only person who knows where that lifesaving orchid is. Mommy, what’s an orchid? And why are they lifesaving?

And God, the closest I got with Kristen. Right after I insisted that she was just such a good person at heart somehow or other that that got her, I mean, she genuinely seemed moved by that, which of course made my skin crawl. But before I could get any further of that conversation, she had to go pick up Rachel.

Well, we can’t afford to lose a momentum that we’ve gotten now, and especially now with things being, I think, a little more urgent. What’s this supposed to mean? I was talking to Sister Mary Maira. She said that Brady kissed her. Fortunately what. Apparently he thought that it was Kristen in disguise and he was going to call her out on it.

Okay. Okay. So how does that make things more urgent? Well, because I think Brady has always had feelings for Kristen and, and they continue and now they’re living under the same roof and they’re helping their raise Rachel together. I think this clock is ticking. Oh, well sweetie, um, orchids are these beautiful flowers and some scientists, they make ’em into medicine.

Isn’t that amazing? Then why are you and daddy arguing about them? Oh, no, no, no, no. I was just telling your mommy how much I, I wanted to get one for Christmas. I, you know, a special one. I thought getting one would be almost life changing. What I really want for Christmas is for you and mommy to get back together forever.

Oh, so what does Daddy say about that?

You haven’t touched your breakfast. Sorry. Don’t be, Sylvia said Your close call at church is still weighing on you. Yeah, for sure. So I think you might need something to get your mind off church explosions and the suddenly promiscuous Saint Eric, that’s not fair. Sorry it slipped out. But I think I might have the diversion.

That will do the trick. What are you doing? I, I, I remember patience is a virtue, not that you are a especially. Excuse me, that’s not me talking. It’s the expert in the field. This is your aunt sister Mary Moy wrote with a warning about your friend, that bombastic blonde beep. Now I’m on a plane about to leave and I think the Lord above that, no one was seriously hurt yesterday, but you caused this by inviting that fornicating harlet to Susan’s.

I go think for a minute that God didn’t notice her presence in his house. That explosion was a warning Elvis. And if you do not he it. I fear for your mortal soul . Your mortal soul. . You’re kidding. That was awesome. I’ve never big hauled a. Before you know what I should do? I should get a tattoo. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. even may have planted the bomb, but uh, apparently you are the real reason why we’re almost blown to kingdom. Come try. Hardly like me. We don’t mess around . No. You know

you’re right on the money. Ej. You know what? Being blamed for almost killing everyone is exactly the distraction I needed. No, I thought it might be Harley. Who? You’re Harley. No, you are. I would be fine if we never spent another minute dwelling on one of your exes, but sing as you were an ex priest. I think it’s okay to have compassion for someone who nearly died.

I know how I sound, but getting her outta my head isn’t something I want. Something I need. Hmm. Well it just so happens since satisfying your needs has become one of my specialties, yeah. I can always use more practice.

I think you’re rushing into this. I, you still haven’t talked to Chanel and she and Ali have, they spent so much time on your campaign. Well, Chanel will understand Allie too. This is about protecting you. Something. I distinctly remember being part of my vows almost exactly six months ago. I still think you’re rushing into this.

Abraham, I love you for what you’re doing, and I wish there was another way out, but there. Sorry. Gimme your phone and I will tell Stephanie myself to release that statement. All right. I, I still think though, that Chanel deserves to hear this before it hits the wires

in Africa.

I smoke and drink. He’s already did not get a good night’s sleep. Well, he’s not the only one. I can’t stop thinking about how much I hate Sloane Peterson for what she did to mama. Hey, you and me both, or Colleen and it’s Christmas Eve and and now she’s probably gonna have to spend the entire holiday in jail.

According to Abe, I’m the one who should be in behind bars, not her. Let’s go. What? Remember when you were stuck there for Thanksgiving and we brought you dinner? Oh, we should cook for Ma Omar. We are going make the best Christmas Eve dinner ever. . Oh, I take it. You think this is a good idea? Oh, I will show you how my fishing

Come here. Listen, I know that’s what you want. I do. I do. And you have to know that I, I, there’s nothing more. I want them to make you happy, sweetie. But you need to trust that, that we are doing what we think is best for you. And it’s only because we love you more than anything in this whole big room.

We’ll make this Turkey croquet. Mm-hmm. and. Ooh, this scallop potatoes and this cream spinach. Mama is gonna have so much food. She is not gonna want to eat for a month.

whoever it is. I’m just gonna text them back and tell them we’re busy.

What’s wrong? It’s from Abe Sloan Peterson has done it again.

I can’t believe it’s already Christmas Eve. Do you have any plans? Uh, to be honest, I stopped making plans and I lost both my parents too. And my brother, he lives a million miles away. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are just like any other day for me. I’m sorry. It’s a shame. My mom, she does a great Christmas Eve party at her place and tomorrow my dad hosts Christmas at at the pub.

Oh, not interested.

We don’t take this the wrong way, but is that really us? I mean, this is fun, but like we’re keeping this low key. Right? I just suggested that I take you home to meet my family pretty much. I’m sorry. It’s forced to happen. No, I thank you for worrying about my holiday, but I got my Christmas wish this.

Paulina Price is behind bars.

All the major news outlets will have that statement within the hour.

It’s going to be a long time before I can make this sacrifice up to you. You can make it up to me each and every day just by being you. What the most? Wonderful, wonderful man I have ever met

I, I just don’t wanna leave you here alone tonight. I’ll commit a minor crime and they can lock me up in the adjoining cell . Oh. Oh, wow. That’s bell, huh? Well, it can’t be about bail. I wonder what she wants. Huh? Let’s find out. God. Hello, Mel. What’s up? Oh, yeah, of course. All right. She wants to talk to you.

Mm-hmm. , Mel, what is it, honey?

What? What You please repeat that.

So you think Brady still has feelings for Kristen?

It’s a very strong attraction and, and we know that he’s fighting those feelings, but we can’t afford what might happen if you lose that battle area. Right. We’re just gonna have to pivot. We’re gonna have to come up with a, with a new way to find out what she’s fighting. I’m a little afraid that she might see right through us.

In fact, I’m, I’m already worried that she saw through what you were doing yesterday. No, I’m not. It’s like you said, Kristen’s completely along. Yeah. She may be anxious to reel Brady back in, but when you are as isolated as she is, It’s important a storm. She’ll take the first friend that comes along. Do you know what’s in here?

I don’t know. Oh, you come on. You, you don’t wanna guess a doll. All right. You know what? I have an idea. We are gonna go down to town Square and we are gonna look at all the pretty decorations. , daddy? Mm-hmm. . Can you come? Honey? I, I, I really have to work. Uh, well, maybe you can, uh, meet us for lunch after work.

Yes. Yes, I can do this. Yay, Susan Daddy. Ask you soon. All right. You know what? I want you to go grab your coat.

You’re breaking her heart. You know that too, because I didn’t want to go to the Horton Town Square with you because she tells you what she wants most in the world, and you just pour water all over. Now, I know you think I’m constantly working you, but maybe you could just stop hating me so much and love your daughter just a little bit more

I absolutely love this voicemail. You have to send it to me so that way whenever I feel things start to feel a little crazy, I can be reminded of what real crazy is and to think we didn’t get enough crazy from Ava. Oh. I wonder if that breakdown she had at the hospital that got her sent to Bayview was real.

You don’t? I have my doubts, but either way, I’m happy to share the Good Sister’s voicemail

while we’re at it. Do you have a similar fix for my guilty feelings? What do you have to feel Guilty. Besides putting you in harm’s way, my, um, my horrible miscalculation about Ava helped to lead to the disaster that was yesterday. My mother is dead cuz of the way I handled her kidnapping, and I almost lost you.

I could hardly blame you if you never wanted to speak to me again. E. Stop it. Okay. Look, despite what your auntie says, this was not my fault. This was not your fault. It was a hundred percent Ava’s fault. Hey, don’t beat yourself up over it for one more minute.

So your mom really just gave up on being governor? Yeah. She wanted to protect Abe, which I get, but this, this whole thing just seems so unfair and it keeps getting worse and worse.

I’ll get it.

Oh, hey Abe. I just got your text. I can’t believe Mama’s doing this. Well, I tried to talk her. Hm. Nobody’s ever talked Mama outta anything. Come on in. Allie and I decided to make Christmas Eve dinner and take it down to Mama. Why aren’t you coming in? Well, this is why.

I am sure Pauline is feeling very sorry for herself behind bars this holiday. I wonder if she or her precious little daughter ever thought once about all the holidays. They ruined for me.

I suppose. You think I should have just turned the other cheek? Hmm? I think what you went through was awful. I know you guys are. And I don’t expect you to come and like fight my battles for me or anything. I just, I just gotta vent every now and then, you know, Sloan, I remember that. You’ve listened to me.

Ran more than once. Let’s change the subject guys. What are we doing for this New Year’s Eve? Sorry, I have to take this Peterson.

Thanks for letting me know. Is everything okay? Everything is not okay. I’m sorry to kick you out like this, but I have to go deal with something right now.

That’s right. Mama is all over. Oh, did you hear me? Mama? Chanel and I are free. They weren’t going to extradite us. Y Yes mama. I think it was your prayers. That did it. Uh uh. Mama. Mama, I have to go. Um, I’ll call you later for a nice long chat. Yes, mama. I will get down on my knees and thank the Lord. I love you too, mama.

She was so scared for us. Wow. It is like you told her, it is all over now, so you’re free. You’re really free. We both are. Bell went to London and challenged our extradition over every technical issue she could find and won. Wait, so so the charges are dismissed. No, and and trash can’t hold her anymore cuz she’s not facing extradition.

So, , neither, neither of you are . This whole nightmare is officially over. Oh, thank God. Oh God. He, amen to that . You know, maybe we should just take a step back. Um, is it all at all possible that we have overcomplicated this whole thing? Okay. What if you were to tell Kristen that we had a, a, a, a terrible fight again, and that, that our marriage is on the verge of falling apart?

You know, to be honest with you, honey, I don’t think I can pull this off.

You had no idea how hard it was for me to make Kristen believe that I was upset with you the first time.

Come on, honey. It’s some holidays. It’s my favorite time of the year, and I almost lost you twice this year. The explosion yesterday and earlier this year when Orpheus set his sights on you. So honey, the last thing I want to do is to tell Kristen or anybody else that you and I are fighting or I’m disappointed with you, even if it’s not true, because Doc, all you do is make me happy.

You, you make me proud, you, , you make me feel like the luckiest man on the face of.

You know, as much as I love the strawberry cream tradition, I would give it all up in a heartbeat just to hear you say that to me again. I love you, baby. Oh.

I get it. So I’m a bad dad now because I won’t make a big speech about how I can’t live without you. Oh my God, Brady, that is not quite what said. It’s beyond. It’s beyond hypocritical. Cuz you tell me to put my family first while you play with her grandmother’s health. I love that little girl with my whole heart.

But I love Marlena too. And that’s the only reason why you are in this house. Okay. I’m ready. You aren’t still talking about orchids are.

Hey, good to see you. Hey, Merry Christmas. Same to you. Actually, I thought I’d stop by and see how mom was fuming. She’s okay. Dad’s been keeping a pretty close eye on her, so it’s. Actually, that’s not the only reason why I’m here.

I meant what I said about Kristen’s blackmail. It’s up to us to put a stop to wear. That means we need to come up with a plan right now. Look at that tree. It’s beautiful. Oh, you got that right . Daddy would’ve loved it. Yeah. Oh, she came and joined us. I know you do. Sweet. But never ever give up on your wishes and dreams because they’re the most important thing we have.

You’re right, it’s Christmas Eve. We don’t need to be talking about my guilt. That plate must be called by now. Lemme grab you another Oh, no, no, no, no. It’s fine. Look, I just have to learn how to start eating with my left hand. It’s great. Oh, gosh. . No. Can I, can I help? Can I help with that? No, no, no, no. I’m fine.

I am not a child. I can do this on my own. . No, no. I’m sorry. This is just ridiculous and embarrassing. Here, let me, let me, but I warn you that I’m gonna pull out all the tricks that I used on my children when they wouldn’t eat either. So I’m not eating. No, I’m not eating anything. No. Here we go. I’m not doing it.

Ow. Nicole, pay attention. Here comes the airplane open. Hi. Here we go.

Yes ma’am. Here you are,

This is divine. I just want you all to know that, um, that I realize something important. Being governor means moving to the Capitol, and I love Salem . I love the people in it with one or two exceptions. Of course. this beautiful, wonderful town. This is where we. Here. Here, , , and come hell or high water. We’re going to focus on all our many blessings and have a very Merry Christmas

Merry.

That was delicious.

And uh, now, now,

now I think I should get ready for the day, , because I haven’t even seen Holly and I’ve got a wrapped presence and plant prizes and. I can’t do any of that without a shower. Have you considered what a challenge showering will be with your ominous? Good point. Mm-hmm. Mm. I could, I could give you a hand

Yeah, sure you could. But I think you’ve helped enough already today, so thank you. You are loss. Your loss. Yeah. Oh my God,

Nicole. Uh, I know the circumstances for you coming here. Were not ideal for you, but I am happy that you and Holly are here for Christmas. This house needs you to brighten it up and you have done so. Spectacularly

well. Finally, the Christmas miracle. We have all been waiting

What are you doing here? You miserable. Excuse for a human. You must be feeling good about yourselves. Two people are dead and here you are enjoying a holiday toast like nothing happened. Well, you may be managed to escape prosecution. But you will pay for what you did to my family. If it’s the last thing I do count on it.

I thought we were urgently making a plan to get rid of Kristen. Yeah, knock. Some things are urgent, other things for even more.

I know how much your wish about Daddy and me means to you, and I can’t make any promises, but I don’t want you to give up on us. Hmm. And maybe we’ll both get what we want most someday, but I want you to remember until then, no one, and I mean no one is more important to your daddy and me than you are, sweetheart

Flip, brother, if you got any good ideas, I’m all ears. Good because on my way over here I saw this beautiful family of three in the square admiring the decorations and you can just feel them being together how much it meant to them. That’s nice. What’s your point? My point is that we need to hit Kristen where she lives.

If we plan on getting that orchid back from her. We need ton your daughter.

See all that butter. That’s what makes it taste good. And the powdered sugar makes ’em pretty. Yeah, just like snowballs, right? See what’s perfect for this time of year. We always make these for Christmas. So why are they called Mexican wedding cookies? Well, that is a great question. I. Actually, I really don’t know, but in Mexico they’re called means power.

Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas, Santa. You’re not Santa.

That is terrific, James. Thank you. Really appreciate it. Hey, I know you had to pull some serious strings to get this done,

I will. All right. Hey, take care and thanks.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So this university police officer is the same one who took Chanel Dre’s statement in the Martha Bedford on side. That’s brilliant. Yeah. This is gonna make her quite a nice, uh, exclusive for Spectator. Yeah. Thanks Emma. I’ll look you up next time in London. Alright, cheers,

Mattie. Good evening, Lois Lane. Have I got a scoop for you? But you’re gonna have to hire me first.

Hey,

you kidding me? Your first day back at Titan. Gotta celebrate. Also happens to be my last day at sj p r. What? I thought things were going right there. Yeah, they were. But you know, Stephanie brought me on to help with the pulling the price campaign. Now she’s been elected governor. So mean the firm has other clients, doesn’t she want.

Stick around and she’ll be fine without me.

You look incredible. Thank you. I would tell you that you also look fantastic, but I suspect you already know it well. I’m always open for compliments for you. Oh, very lovely. You ready to go? Uh, I’m not actually. You’re not. Well, dinner reservations are in like 15 minutes. You certainly look like you’re ready for a night out.

Am I missing something? Uh, actually I thought we could stay in. Oh.

This was a great idea, Sarah. I think we all needed a girls night out. Yes, and I’m glad we finally got to do it. Yes. Funny. What was the eggnog drink that you were telling me about the, when you went to Puerto Rico for that Christmas. What had the coconut rum? Yeah. They called it a coqui toe, right? Yes. I bet that Roman can whip us up a couple of those.

Mm-hmm. . So should I get two with booze and one virgin? Sounds great. Alright, Bonnie, I know what you guys are doing and it’s not gonna work.

Come here. You, we beastie, you and your cockroach friends have had the run in this place for too long. This is my home and I’m gonna send you straight to hell.

Well, you know what? Live and let live my little friend. I mean, who am I to judge? That’s everything I’ve done. No better than you are. Oh, good. Maybe this is Sunday with a massive shoe to put me outta my misery.

Justin, unexpected surprise.

What brings you to Salem’s? Wrong side of the tracks. I just spoke to Bonnie, and you’re in big trouble

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

Doing . We’re not doing anything other than trying to have a good time. Yeah. What are you trying to accuse us of? Trying to cheer me up. Get me to forget about that kidnapping clown. We’re not trying. We’re not trying to, yes. Yes it is. Yes we are. But that’s, it’s why we took you up. Thank you. Thank. Justin told us how upset you are about what that bozo did to you, and he, he thought that you could use a distraction and, and just a night of fun.

I’m not exactly sure if I can actually have fun considering what happened to Susan Banks and what could have happened to me, you know? Well, I hope they catch that circus. They lock him up and they throw away the key. Same. But if they can’t find him, I can only pray that he’s a million miles away from here.

By now

I’m in trouble. What kind of trouble? Come on, Andrew. How long did you think you could keep the truth from me? Well, I mean, I was hoping to, at least I know what’s going. Bonnie told me.

Gals are right. I do need this night out. It’s time. I put this whole nightmare behind me and the best way to do that is to put a strong drink in front of me. Yeah, yeah. There you go. I’m gonna go get in the first round.

So have you talked to, I, yeah, I, I talked to him and I asked him about his job at Rednecks, and then I told him that I thought he might be the clown that kidnapped Bonnie and Susan. Hmm. And what did you say? He denied it and you took him at his word.

You wish I. After he, he swore that he didn’t do anything illegal. I asked if he’d mind if I looked up rednecks to see if it really existed, and I found a website and even a listing for the job that Xander vacated. So that I was legit. No, I’m so relieved. Damn. Me too. I just. I’m so sorry I ever doubted him.

Bonnie told you what she told me about the debt collector who came to the house that, yeah, I mean, I, it turns out I have racked up quite a few creditors, Justin, and I was hoping my new job would remedy you, but it didn’t work out. Maggie said that, uh, your boss asked you to do something that you were uncomfortable.

Yeah, for the first time ever, my function’s got the better of me. Well, good for you. I’m proud of you for having the moral fiber to take a stand and do the right thing. Thanks. Well, unfortunately, doing the right thing doesn’t really pay the bills. True. That type of behavior doesn’t always get rewarded, but.

In this case, I think it could be. I, sir, what do you say? We sue this rednecks for wrongful termination. Sue Rednecks? Mm-hmm. . I am confident that we can make them pay through the nose. I’ll just need the name of your boss who fired.

You want to work at the Spectator as what? As a newsman. What else? I’ve been spilling tea since I left the womb. I mean, look at these stories I already brought you. Yeah. Crap. This doesn’t really look like news to me. Not news. Are you kidding me? Titan, Alex Kiki Mixes business and pleasure with SJ P’S Stephanie Johnson Juicy.

Now Salem’s spicy senior citizen, Julie Williams, questioned by police in connection with geriatric crime sprees. Spoiler alert, she stole a stole juicier. Keep going. Wendy Shin and Johnny Damer. Jet set to Jakarta is love in the air for these two young power. Juiciest. This is, this is not news. This is, this is bloody gossip.

What’s the difference? Look, the spectator is a very respected newspaper. We can’t publish this rubbish. That’s why I intend to write under a nam de plume. In case people get offended and want to come at me with pitchforks and torches. Okay. I know I’m gonna regret asking this, but what is the name? It’s right there on the bottom.

Lady Whistleblower Lady. Whistleblower Lady. Whistleblower lady. Wait, are we just gonna keep saying it over and over again? Don’t you wanna prove to your father that he made the right choice in hiring you? How better than to take his antiquated paper and turn it into a modern success. Come on, gw. I promise I will work my ass off for you.

If you gimme a chance,

I’ll run it by him. Yes, thank you. But you best get used to this headline. Now, wannabe gossip columnist denied, goes from dishing to dishwasher. Do you know if a dishwashing cake, Leo really isn’t your prospects that grim for you? Well, I did get one offer from Johnny Kikis. How’s that happened? Go on, man.

You’ve lost the gossip lady whistleblower. And don’t you leave out any details. So you’re officially done working in SJ p r Well, no, not officially. But you wanna leave? No, I, I, I’ve really loved working in pr. It wasn’t something that I sought out, but it turned out to be really rewarding. It seemed like you and Stephanie got along pretty well.

Yeah, a little too. Mm. Meaning you got a little thing for her, do you?

Oh my God. You do? I did. Well, did she, you know, reciprocate? Uh, it doesn’t matter. It’s too soon after Abby. I, I, I don’t, I don’t want to be involved with anyone. Okay, fine. But did you tell Stephanie that? Yeah, I did. And now she’s moved on. With your brother.

I hope you don’t mind staying in. You kidding me? This is great. But what about your parents? Oof. Suddenly I feel like I’m 16 years old again. Oh, they’re, they’re still in Seattle with trips, so, oh, we have the place go to ourselves. Well, I like that. Should I order some delivery? Oh, why would we do that if I spent all day cooking?

You did not cook me dinner. Mm-hmm. . No you didn’t. Mm-hmm. . Oh my God. Is there anything that you can’t do? Stick with me. Alex. Kiki, you’ll learn. I’m a woman of many talents.

To the end of my reign as c e O of Titan. Sunny’s back. Huh? King is dead long. Live the king.

So how do you feel about it? I’m fine with it. There are some perks to having less responsibility, such as? Such as more time to spend with a certain beautiful woman. Hmm. So you really don’t mind stepping down. I’d rather be here with you. You don’t believe me. I just get the sense that you’re a man who likes being on top.

Okay. That came out wrong. No, it’s okay. You’re right. I do like to be on top. But I’m flexible,

so you’re totally fine with Alex dating. Stephanie, why wouldn’t I be? Steph is great and seems like he, he won her over as sound getting pretty cozy the other day. How was that for me? Fine. Chad. Hey, you don’t have to lie to me. Okay. Yeah. Fun. It sucked. Yeah, of course it did. Because you were jealous. I don’t get it.

Why would you turn down Sunny’s job offer? It never would’ve worked out. It would’ve been a total disaster, actually. And Sunny realized that too after we both had a minute to think about it. How would it have been a disaster? Well, for starters, Sunny’s married to Will Amino at blanket. Between Will and Sonny’s Grumpy Uncle Vic, they would’ve given him nonstop grief over hiring me, and then that old Grmp probably would’ve fired us both.

Mm. I see. Besides after Craig and everything that happened with Abigail, I’m really trying to avoid personal complications in my life right now. Personal complications, what do you mean? Well, like I said, son’s married. Hmm. And married just so happens to be your type. So answer the question. My little brushing friend.

What? No, I’m blushing. Oh yes, you certainly are. Which leads me to believe that you are smitten with curiosity, aren’t you? Yes, you are.

You need my boss’s name? Mm-hmm. . I think we could beg. The case for wrongful termination. She ordered you to do something illegal. You refused, and as she fired you, no, of course it probably would never go to court. Most likely settle. I appreciate the off Justin Burke. I’d rather forget the whole thing happened.

Why? What if I could get you a sizable settlement? Make all your creditors just go away. That way you can put this whole nasty business of redneck behind you and get on with your life. There’s nothing I want more, ever since that horrible, scary time. Everywhere I’d go, I see glass peeking out from another bed hiding around the corner, watching me from across the street.

Oh, I can’t imagine how, how nerve-wracking that is. I keep thinking. What if he comes back from me, ma’am. What if he’s not done? You know? Well, from what I understand, you were an Ava’s target. She, she had that clown take Susan to teach EJ a lesson. Yeah. I you, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So you really don’t think he’s coming after me. I mean, according to the police, you are safe.

You. Thank you. All right. You know what, hairs to being safe. You got it.

Thanks. You’re welcome. Dinner’s coming along nicely. Ah, remind me what’s on the menu again. Smells incredible. Uh, short rib fa, short rib fa again, . I, um, I learned to cook it from a neighbor in Seattle. It’s her mom’s recipe from Vietnam. And, uh, in return I taught her how to make dad’s. Sounds like a pretty damn good trade.

Mobi, how do you know a Vietnamese toast? You stick with me, Stephanie Johnson, and you will learn that I’m a man of many talents. Mm.

Cut me off already hardly. I just wanted to set them down so that I don’t spill. When I do this,

Are you sure you’re ready for this? What do you think?

It’s Paulina. She’s calling from jail. Take you. Go ahead. I’m gonna make this so quick. Oh, take your time.

Hey Paulina.

So my best friend and my big brother both want the same. Talk about a conflict of interest. Actually, it’s not, cuz only one of us wants to be with her. So you don’t have to pick a sign. Hello? It does simplify things, but I’m gonna tell you the same thing I told Alex, right? Life is short and love doesn’t always wait until you’re ready.

Okay? So if you like. And she likes you. I think you owe it to you both to give it a shot. I mean, Stephanie’s a grown woman. She can decide who she wants to be with.

I can’t. Not yet. Are you sure? I’m sure. Okay. And I’m hoping that. But now that I’ll, I’ll be around her less, that the feelings will just go away around her. Less meaning staying busy. Find a new job. Well, maybe I can help with that Job. Hunting has become sort of a, uh, specialty of mine. What do you mean? Why, why are you looking for a new job?

Well, I’m not for, it’s not for me. I meant for other people. Oh. But what other people? If I’m blushing, it’s because it’s hot in here. Yeah, right. Sunny and I are just friends. We’re becoming friends even after everything you’ve done to him. Okay, sure. Sunny and I have had our differences, but we’ve put all that behind us.

We’re in the Doover phase. Hmm. Sounds like my relationship with Zander. O, Xander, Xander, who’s also married. Guess that’s your type two. I loved Zander before he was married. Okay. And now he and I have reached a sort of understanding, Ooh, I have a feeling this is juicier than it sounds. Come on, give Lady Whistleblower the gossip complete with photos and texts if possible.

No texts and no photos. This stays completely off the record.

I know I’m probably gonna regret telling you this, but, um, seems that Dr. Goodie two shoes doesn’t know her husband as well as I do. what? Sarah Horton? Yes. Turns out Sandra can tell me things that he cannot tell his adoring life. Tell me, tell me, tell me what did the Scotty Hot do this time?

No, get away from me.

You can’t hurt.

He’s not, that’s not the.

I promise you won’t have to do any heavy lifting for this lawsuit. I’ll just need the name of your ex-boss and the specifics of what she asked you to do, but I just don’t think this is gonna work. Why not? Because it’s complicated and it’s my word against hers, and besides I chose to leave. They didn’t find me.

They didn’t give you any choice. Now, are you sure you don’t want me to at least try? Listen, I really appreciate you wanting to help, boo. Yeah, I’m sure I, well, I’m sorry if I’m pushing too hard. It’s just as I was telling Bonnie the other day, you and I are family and I’d also like to think that we’ve become friends.

We. Which is why I trust you to have my back zander, so I’d like to have yours

look

something I have to tell you.

Leo Stark. Are you serious? What’s, what’s the big deal? We’ve been hanging out a little bit. All right. And he feels terrible about all the crappy things he’s done, and I really think he’s starting to turn over a new leaf. He’s actually, you know, he’s pretty funny. He’s decent. Oh, what? What? What? Nothing. I just, I just find it incredibly strange that you’re, you’re, you’re so forgiving and what you’re, you’re actually enjoying Leo’s company to a point, you know, we’re not like best friends or anything.

How, how does will feel about, about, uh, you hanging out with Leo? Did you tell him? Yes, I told him. Well, I didn’t exactly tell him. Um, Leo answered the phone while was in the other room. How’d that go? Oh, not great. Yeah, not great. Uh, granted, will and I aren’t exactly in the best place right now, what’s going on?

He called me and he told me he’s not coming home for Christmas because he has this big deadline to make and work always comes. Why don’t you find will another job closer to home? Believe me, if I thought I would’ve fixed anything, I would just promised me that You’ll be careful around Leo. I don’t trust him.

Especially after what he did to you and Lou.

Steph, what’s up? I know you thought you and I were done, but you can’t get rid of me that easily. Yeah, actually listen, um, I was thinking Paulina is resigning what she thinks that Stepping Down will protect Abe’s job as Mayor of Salem. I’ll explain it all when you get here, but we need to draft a statement.

I’m at my parents’ place. I’ll be right there.

I’m sorry. I’m not as sorry as I am. We can do this. Dinner and everything else sometime soon. Very soon. Can’t wait.

Blow the daff, would you? What is Xander up to that he can’t tell his wife?

Nevermind. What? No, I shouldn’t have brought it up. Seriously. I sealed my lips and everything. Yeah. Well, you know, I think that it’s probably in everyone’s best interest if I just keep this to myself. And the point is, just like you and Sonny, Zandra and I are now. Building a friendship. Mm. But unlike me and Sunny, you still love him.

Wanna marry him and have his babies? And who’s blushing now? Why not? Oh, you totally are. What? No. Look, I, I still have feelings for Zander. Yes. But I’m not deluding myself with him. I promise you. Just be careful. I don’t wanna see you get hurt again, girlfriend. Right back at your girlfriend. I better time to get to an AA meeting.

Hey, AA Mattie. Oh, no, no, no. It’s just free coffee and donuts. Ah, hey, you’ll talk to Jack about Lady Whistleblower. Yes, I’ll talk to him, but, um, I dunno if you’ll be too excited about the prospect unless you do a brilliant pitch for her. Talk about how clever and witty she is and how she would be a huge asset to any publication.

Please, I’ll do my best. You are the greatest.

Roman, I’m so sorry. You know, maybe next time just a bad review on Yelp. Okay. No, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I, I I thought you were. Yeah. I thought I was a clown. I heard you say that after the blow in my head. Roman, uh, could, could we help you clean up this? No, no, no, no. I think Bonnie needs more attention than my floor does.

I, he’s just losing this job and you’re facing down these creditors that I really am trying to be a good husband to Sarah to, to be the kind of man that she deserves. But I feel like there’s something you’re not telling me.

I guess I’m just not used to being vulnerable, especially around other guys. That’s what you’re worried about. People thinking you’ve gone soft. I do have a reputation to a bond. You have a heart. It’s nothing to hide, but your secret is safe with me. Thank. Well, I better head out in case Bonnie needs a ride home.

Oh, you think this is funny? No, no, of course not. Sorry. Yeah. Um, what, what, what, what can I do? What can I do to help? Well, you, you created a fake website for Redx, didn’t you?

I was hoping that, that I could create an employment contract match. Could you, would you? Well, I suppose it won’t be too difficult. I’ll just find an online template and fill in the. Oh, thank you so much. You are a lifesaver. My pleasure. So you’ll just email it over to me when it’s ready? No, it’s best not to leave an electronic trail with this sort of thing.

so what’s this work emergency? He got called away for? He couldn’t have been too happy about it. Actually. I think he was.

Okay. What’s the tone of our press release? Do you want to go? Contrite, defiant. I was thinking down to earth, honest. And hopeful. I like that. Puts her in the position of, uh, the underdog sets her up for a comeback. Yeah.

Oh, I almost forgot. What’s that? I, I made dinner for Alex, but we didn’t get a chance to eat it. Smells good. What do you miss out on? Uh, short rib fa. You hungry? Am I hungry?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 You were looking for me. Hmm? Me. Shut the door.

Um, what’s this about? Well, it’s about your sister Lee, the company Jet and the city of Jakarta in that order, I know what your sister’s been up to, Lee, and so do you, don’t you?

Thank you for coming. I’m sorry to tell you from work. That’s no problem. Stop for a lunch break. Anyway. My message may get some urgent. It is. It is. I have something to ask you about your brother.

Wait, so Ava caused a crash that killed your grandmother and she’s dead too. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I, uh, she tried to get away, drove off the road with my grandmother in the backseat. Was it an accident? Uh, I, I don’t, I don’t know. You know, my dad, my dad seems to think that she crashed the car on purpose.

Oh my God. That’s,

VJ Damara, don’t let me ever hear you take the Lord’s name of van ever again. Did you hear me?

This is who you hired as your lawyer, Nicole, please. Oh, no, no, no. I recognize the name. My soon-to-be ex-husband is police Commissioner Ray Fernandez. So I’ve heard quite a bit about you. All good? I assume. Oh, well, I’m sorry that I can’t return the same sentiment you see my. Client here hasn’t exactly told me much about you yet.

From what I’ve gathered, you’re the reason why his girlfriend aborted their baby

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

Excuse me, but that is not true. What the hell, Eric Jada is the one who took your baby from you, not me, but yet when it’s out, blame Eve, right? Father? And other thing that surprises me is seeing you turn around and hire the serpent herself as your lawyer. Low life. You know, I find it curious, you casting aspersions when you yourself are in bed with Mr.

Loli.

My apologies sister. I didn’t know you were coming, seeing you after everything was, that was quite a shock that Aunt, sister, Mary, moreover, banks to you. Yes, of course. Damn. Are you gonna invite me in and tell me what Jesus’ name happened to my four sister or not?

Yeah. My, my dad, you know, he, he went after Ava for, for lying about her marriage to Jake defrauding the company for his shares. And I, I, I, I don’t know. She, she, she must have just lost it, so she was going down anyway. Might as well take someone with her. And punish your dad in the process. Right? Oh, Johnny, I feel so terrible for you and for Tripp to lose his mom in this way.

I, I can’t even imagine. And you, you lost your sweet grandmother. Oh, Johnny, I am so sorry.

Um, I, I’m not sure what, Getting out of found my sister, Stephanie.

Okay, we’ll do it that way.

You see, a couple of weeks ago I was gonna take Chloe on this romantic getaway. We’re gonna fly to Miami. So when I called to book the company, jet, you know the jet that’s reserved for execs of this company. The jet that literally has my name plastered on the side of it. Right. That one, it was unavailable out for servicing, supposedly.

Oh, how unfortunate. I know. So anyway, I was talking to one of our managers today and he happened to mention how that specific. Shouldn’t be due for servicing for at least another couple of months. So naturally, I did some digging. Turns out the Jet’s logs were hacked. Now your sister, she’s very good with computers, right?

I mean, that’s why we hired her. Anyway, the Jets logs reflected that that plane was out for servicing, when in fact it had been commandeered for a clandestine trip to Jakarta by your sister, and everyone here at Damara was none the wise.

To everyone except you, Lee,

Kathy, he seems so serious. Sorry, I was just a little, um, distracted about something earlier. Looking at something in the mail, but you know what? Forget it. Don’t worry about that. I am just excited about something and I hope you will be too excited about what, Wendy? Will you be my maid of honor?

Well, what are you saying? Um, well, we haven’t even really known each other that. I mean, don’t you have like a whole list of eager girlfriends just fighting for the top spot? Um, yeah. Um, you probably might not believe this, but I don’t really have many girlfriends. Right. Well, and so I’m not sure why you pivot to Lee.

Might I remind you, Lee, that I was. The day you realized your sister hadn’t shown up for work, you seem to be a little confused as to what happened, even maybe, dare I say, perturbed , if I recall correctly. Is this ringing any sort of bell up there in that head of yours? You chalked it up to her working remotely, either for her benefit or for mine, and then you left to check up on her, right?

Um, yes, I do remember that. Hmm. What must you have found when you checked up on Hurley? Because when I dug up the plane’s logs, Unaltered logs. Turns out at that very moment, the plane was already wing. Its way over to Indonesia, and here’s the kicker, every expense for that flight. Look at me. The fuel in flight, meals in flight entertainment was all signed off for by one Mr.

Lee Shin,

which tells me you knew your sister left town and you must have. Why she left, what the purpose was of her little jot on the company’s dime. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Here’s the truth.

I’m waiting. Okay. I did know about my sister’s Little John to Jakarta, but after the fact, and I do know why she. I also know who went with her.

Hello Ali. Johnny was just telling me the terrible news about his grandmother. Yeah, I, I know about it. Trip told me. Johnny, I’m so sorry. I wanted to tell you in person. It’s just there’s been so much going on. Thanks. Wait, how long have you known? I talked to Trip on than. So you’ve known since Thanksgiving and you didn’t say anything to me.

Chanel, you’ve been going through so much. You and your mom got arrested. I didn’t wanna pile on. Look, I’m sorry. I should have told you. I will never keep you out the loop again. Okay. Oh, sh Chanel, there’s nothing to could have done. Don’t blame Ally. All right. I know you’re right. Both of. It’s just like, it’s all been so overwhelming, like Allie said, and it just, it just seems like it never ends.

What do you mean just what’s going on now with Abe? Wait, what’s going on with him? It’s nothing like what Johnny and his dad are going through, but he’s bad.

I think someone needs a refresher in his manners. I thought you, my family guys, hey they Steph hammered into you Honor and all that. I’m a businessman, aunt, sister, Mary Mara, but all the same You are, right. Where are my manners? You’re very, very welcome here, I suppose I’m just still surprised to see. He’s surprised.

Isn’t that just facial? Well, lemme tell you what surprises me, hearing about the untimely loss of my poor sister in the kidnapping Gone wrong. No less from anyone except my own nephew. So tell me exactly where were you in a time of need chasing girls for money or both for your information? EJ is the reason you are walking free no matter what.

Clarice Darrow here has led you to believe I was with EJ when he called the DA to drop the charges. You’re welcome. It seems like you two have a, a lot still to work through, so I’m just gonna get out of here. No, no, no, don’t go. Nicole is leaving. You know, I have a business to conduct anyway, but, um, here’s my business card.

Settle my feet anytime that, uh, you’re available. My home address is on the back.

Let me stop you. I’m sure Mr. Ron is waiting. You know, how many times do I have to tell you I am not seeing e. I had no place to go. He offered me and Holly a place to land. And so you accepted without any hesitation,

you know, I don’t wanna get ahead of myself, but this could be a real opportunity for us. An opportunity for what? Exactly. To have a real relationship and. , I helped turn it into something very special. I, you probably don’t know this. I mean, why would you know this? But I, I had a sister named Ariana. Ha. Yeah.

Tragically she’s gone now. But I named my daughter after her. I wanted to honor her, but nothing can replace that bond that sisters can. It’s really special and soon you and I are gonna be sisters-in-law, but I’m hoping that in time we can make it feel like we’re real sisters and not just related by marriage.

That would be, that would be amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. I, I’ve had such a great feeling about you. I mean, the minute I met you, I just felt like I could trust you and, and that really means a lot to me. Okay. Please, please, Wendy, just say Yes, please. Gabby, there’s, there’s something you need to hear.

The truth about Wendy’s trip is that, um,

come on Lee, don’t stop now. Well, it was your nephew Johnny, who actually commandeered the jet when, why? Yes. Yes. It, um, it, it seems that Johnny and my sister, the two of them have well, um, Hit it off, shall we say. Hmm.

I see. And so I assume to impress her, he whispered her away on a little romantic getaway. Hmm. On dam mayor’s dime. Yes. Yes. And um, I’m right. Uh, as you said, I did sign off on the expenses. But after the fact, what else was I supposed to do? I’m not sure I’m catching the meaning here. Well, um, to put it bluntly, he’s the boss’s son,

but just because the city council is cowardly and trying to avoid a scandal doesn’t mean that Abe has to kneel, fallen his sword. Yeah. I mean, mayor carver’s a fighter, a damn good one, right? I mean, he’s. Through how many crises before he’s gonna get through this one. I hope you’re right. Both of you and I mean, sure.

The city council may be trying to avert a scandal, but there is only one true villain here. Sloan Peterson. What’s wrong with you? AJ’s mother died and yet he still found the time to call the DA and drop the charges. He did. For you, and yet you stand here in front of me making underhanded comments like some silly wounded school.

Boy, anyone know the worsts part? Is it you and this woman you just met? Confront me here and accuse me of killing your baby. Now, we talked about this and even you agreed that it was Jada’s choice about her own.

After everything that we’ve been through, I am devastated to see you behaving. Like what? Say it, Nicole. What?

You’re not the special man. I thought you were.

Believe me, I know EJ has history and a pretty ugly one compared to you these past few days. He’s a saint.

You know what? You right about ej? I’ll just keep my opinions to myself. We’ll see. And as for me, I am not a saint. I don’t deny that, but neither are you. And as Jay’s decision about the abortion, that is her choice. We do agree on that. But that little private chat that you had with her, how hard it is to be a mother and raising a child on her own.

God, would you listen to yourself, all these insults and accusations like I’m some fallen woman, because I took EJ up on a place to say when I had nowhere to go. Oh yeah. And of course it’s my fault that Jada got an abortion, even though it was her own choice. You are blaming me for things that I haven’t done and I am sick of it.

Yeah. Well, I’m so sorry that I am impossible to deal with because you know what? Your opinion doesn’t matter anymore.

You make it sound like we’re breaking up. Yeah. Well, we’d have to be together to break up. Lucky for you. We never made that mistake. No, I wasn’t chasing women or money in my mother’s hour of need, and I assure you I did everything I could to bring her home safely. But when you are dealing with a lunatic, that crazy woman grabbed my mother.

And backed outta her very own deal. All I hearing is excuses. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Next thing you’re gonna my

look,

I’m not trying to justify my failings, I’m just trying to give you the whole picture. And ask for forgiveness even when I truly don’t deserve it.

I don’t know much about this Sloan Peterson person, but I know that my Uncle Chad is not a fan. Oh, trust me. No one is a fan. All you need to know about her is that she’s trying to ruin Chanel on her mother. And yet again, my mother gets dragged through the mud for something I did. Don’t blame yourself.

Chanel. Okay? You’re gonna get through this. You all will, hopefully very soon. I know you’re going through a lot too, Johnny, and I want you to know we are here for you. You know that, right? Yeah. Thank you. Uh, you know I had better get going. I did come here looking for Wendy. I should probably try and catch her at.

What did you need to see her about? You didn’t say? Oh, uh, nothing important. Just, uh, wanna see how things are going at the mirror?

I’m sorry if you wasted your time digging into this missing jet mystery. Um, I, I felt like I had to play dumb. I was just trying to protect my sister and her crush. Not to mention your c. , I assume it all makes sense now. All the pieces seem to fit together. Hmm. And, uh, hey, look at the Bright side. Jets back.

Uh, you can use it to whisk Chloe away to Miami. Uh, right now. , if you’d like , we will be going to Miami. But just on a different timeline, huh? Yeah, we’re thinking New Year’s. Oh. Um, the day I’m marrying Gabby, Exactly. And obviously she’s told you Gabby has that she invited both me and Chloe, right? Obviously, but we’re not gonna be there.

We decided it’s not for us. We sent in our IV P yesterday, let you hear it from me. Right? And let’s be honestly, do you really want your bride’s ex-husband. And his new lady in attendance. Do you, uh, think I’d feel threatened because I, I assure you I wouldn’t be, uh, you’ve been very clear that you have no lingering feelings for Gabby, and, uh, she’s been clear as well that she holds nothing but resentment for you now that, um, you’ve returned and treated her with so much, uh, rudeness and insulting behavior.

But, but hey. I get it. So have a wonderful time in Miami.

Hey, wait, what’s wrong? Whatever it is, you can tell me. We can fix it.

So we both agree we have to keep their. Your dad’s and my brothers. Hey Gabby and s Stephan Can’t help you feel okay with that? No, not really. Me neither. I just, I know that being a maid of honor means putting everything else aside to make sure the bride stays perfect. I guess I’m worried about being up for the job.

Because as it is now, I’m on thin ice damara, and after playing hooky, I have a ton of work to catch up on. I guess what I’m saying is I wouldn’t wanna let you down. Are you kidding me? That’s you . You couldn’t possibly let me down ever. Unless you refuse to be my maid of honor, so please, please, please say you guys, Wendy, please.

Yeah, I’d love to think you. Think you, you.

Well, perhaps in your grief you have forgotten, so I will remind you. God is in charge of forgiveness, not me.

I wasn’t asking you for his forgiveness. I was asking for you. Well, right now I’m more concerned about the immortal soul of my sister. So when is the funeral? Oh, I’ve, nothing’s been arranged yet. Nothing. She’s been arranged, been busy. Have we? I’d hate for you to interrupt your important schedule for something so trivial as the passion of your own mother.

It’s in its true graces that I am here. My sisters’ beloved son has managed to both fail her in love and now in this shame on you, air Mr. Mirror. Shame. Shame, shame.

So this is how we’re doing this that are in spiteful probably for the best. Otherwise, we’d make the same mistake. Fine. Cutting.

This is really happening, isn’t it?

In case you can find another way through. I can’t. Maybe our mistake was trying to recapture what we once had,

forgetting all the things that made us wrong for each other. That day in the office when we fell, we had a. We kissed. Yeah. And then your phone rang in, was in the

Wendy. Hey, what are you doing here? It’s. We don’t have to keep our friendship a secret anymore. Remember, it’s our cover now. In fact, it’s probably better for people to see us together. Let ’em think what they think first we’re a secret. Then we’re drumming up wild gossip. What a whirlwind friendship chip.

Anyway, um, I went looking for you earlier just to check. Make sure you’re okay. I spoke to my dad and he was asking if I had any second thoughts about, you know, about keeping our secret about Stephan. I told him we’re both on board, but I wanted to make sure with you I was. Then Gabby called,

oh, you scared the hell outta me. , sorry. Uh, you were somewhere else totally absorbed in whatever you were looking at. Yeah. The perfect target, , that, that, that arrived today, Steph and Chloe aren’t coming to the wedding. Yeah, I know I spoke with Stefan a while ago. What I didn’t know is that you had invited him in the first place.

Yeah. Sorry, I didn’t tell you. I was just, I, I mean, I assume that you’d want a handful of high ranking execs from Damira there. So that was, um, the only reason for the invitation. What do you mean? Um, I, I don’t know. Maybe a part of you wants to show s Stephan that you’re really moving on. I just want Stephan and everyone else to know how happy I am and I am marry the most wonderful man.

I am the luckiest woman. I’m the lucky one. Hey, actually, I forgot to tell you. I saw your sister today. I asked her to be my maid of honor. Oh, um, you saw Jane when, yeah. She didn’t skip out on work. She, she came during her lunch. Well, what did she say? Well, she said yes, but after some persuading, and actually she seemed weirdly uneasy about it.

Gabby was laying it on pretty. About how we could be like real sisters, how close we could be in. She’s seemed genuinely excited about it. I thought she was gonna break out one of those heart BFF necklace sets. Whole time I was trying to smile. Dead inside. Look, I’m sure Gabby didn’t even notice. If you can go face to face with Dr.

Rolf, you can handle anybody. I don’t know. I kept trying to leave. I must’ve been sweating and squirming. It got so bad. I almost blurted out what we did.

Yes.

Let’s talk about what you did.

You down there? Hmm?

Just what are you? You are right. I you should have got to work immediately. Planning something to honor mother. Uh,

While we’re working at the particulars, I want you to stay here. Oh. No argument. I’m going to speak to Harold about setting up a room for you. Stay right here.

Stop staring with your old man

there, a room at the crossroad somewhere.

The call about Jada. It was either the worst timing possible. And the best if we’d actually gotten started.

It would’ve made it harder when things blew up, which was inevitable. Yeah, inevitable.

I guess

Well, I can’t imagine why Gene Wen would be uneasy about being a maid of honor. Well, I think she’s, she’s concerned about the responsibility that come to it, but I told her that she couldn’t disappoint me. So is she resolved All good. I don’t know. Still feels like there’s something that she wasn’t telling me.

Well, you know what I think? I think that you two just don’t know each other all that well yet. You think there’s something she’s not telling you, but I think she’s probably just thinking about what to have for dinner, and that’s very jing wet. I think you should just put this out of your head. I bet the two of you are gonna end up being really good friends.

Yeah, that’s what I told her. Well, you know what they say about great minds,

uh, uncle Stephan. Now we, we were just talking about, uh, we, we, we, your little romantic getaway to Ja.

Yeah, I figured it was you who hacked into the logs for the jet. Why you chose Jakarta as your getaway destination. Hmm. Lano. But I hope you kids had fun because it’s gonna be the last trip you take for a long time on the company’s dime. Of course. And just a fair warning.

Nothing gets by me.

Is it just me or is this getting harder by the minute?

Thanks, voicemail. Hey. Hi, it’s me. Um, I, I’m sorry that I ran out on you and mama before. I just was, I was too emotional. Um, but, uh, gimme a call back when you can. I, I wanna know what’s going on with you and those dim widths at the city council. Okay. Talk soon. You okay? I don’t know how we’re gonna do. But we need to find a way to keep Sloan Peterson from ruining all our lives.

Hello, Eric? Hi. I’m here because I, we have a matter of my bill to discuss. Yeah, no, I am, I assume. I guess it’s just, I didn’t expect to see you here this fast. You and Nicole seemed really in the thick of it. Yeah, well, we actually realized we had nothing else to say.

Should I go? No.

If I stay, you know what that means?

I think we both know what it means

and Jada.

It’s like doing ra. I gotta do the right thing. I can’t stay with Jada, especially when my heart belongs to someone else

As, as angry as I was with you. I never stop loving you. Thank you.

Oh, Eric. This time, no, we. You gotta screw it up, I promise. Yeah.

And sister, you disappeared on me. Apparently one of your invades has an evil sense of humor. Uh, how do you mean? I asked, which was my beloved sister’s room, and she. Pointed this way, put this gas perfume foul, and the air could not be Susan’s. Well, this was mother’s room, but I’ve been letting a friend use a temporarily.

Oh, a friend. I knew you were chasing girls Elvis, just like your namesake. But I pray to God that you were not fornicating in your mother’s mouth. Oh, for.

For Pete’s sake, aunt Sister, yes, my friend happens to be a woman, but that’s all she is. A friend. That’s what they all say. But I pray that is true in your case. Your soul is in enough jeopardy as it is.

Hmm. Looks like someone’s planning a memorial

tasteful affair for attack lady,

but Susan Banks wont be the only one late to rest that day.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No offense dear Meemaw God, but this is disgusting. I thought you were getting used to it. Did I say that? Mm-hmm. . You also said that you were starting to feel better, which proves that while my grandmother’s hangover recipe may not win any points for, uh, It does work if you say so. Have I ever stayed you wrong?

Oh, too many times to count . Ouch. I’m just kidding. Ej. Now you were really kind to me last night. You needed a friend

and frankly, so did I. Oh, I’m glad I could be there for, Back at you, Ms. Walker. Back at you

What’s going on here?

You there? Fuss? What are you doing here? Well, hi. Could you call in sick for a second day in a row? Just wanna make sure you’re okay. That’s very nice of you. But I, I’m fine. Uh, the doctor who did the procedure said I can go back to work tomorrow. I see. So, uh, guess that means, yeah, I, uh, I got the abortion, so you want to be my lawyer.

You just said your sister won’t represent. I have other options. None better than me. Is that so? Oh, it’s so since you don’t believe it, why don’t you hire me for yourself and find out?

Good morning. Hey Abe. Hi sweetheart. How you holding up? Well, I am missing our king size bed. Thousand threads. Count sheets, but I’m hanging in there. And what about you, kiddo? Must have been nice spending the night at home. I’m very grateful that bail got me out on bail, but I will not be okay until mama is free.

They never should have arrested her in the first place. They need to let her go. Abraham, please, please tell us. You have some good news on that front. I’m afraid. Not

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

Hey. Hey. If you’re looking for Paul, the Chanels in there with her now. Yeah, no, I let her go ahead of me. I just saw Abe go in there too. Do you want me to go in there and break it up? Uh, no. No. It’ll do Paul, some good to spend some time with her family and. That’ll give us some time to talk about my brother.

Yeah. Yeah. When we went for that drink, I, uh, I wasn’t expecting to walk in on that. Yeah. Nicole picking EJ up off the floor after Eric Dham. Neither did I. Yeah. It was so strange, strange seeing him like that. And he was belligerent to hangry and been drinking and assaulting people, including you. No, I, I hated the way that he behaved and.

How outta control he was. But I don’t know. My heart is just breaking for him. You know, I, I can see how much pain he’s in, and now you’re having second thoughts about not taking his case. I just can’t get the image outta my head, you know, my big brother sitting in jail all alone with nobody in his corner.

So what do you. I don’t know if that would be such a good idea because of my reputation. I try not to judge people, but when everyone and their mother calls me an ambulance chaser, it’s hard. I get it. But the thing that all those haters fail to mention is I tend to catch what I chase.

You sure? You don’t want anything to eat? No, I’m not hungry. You sure you’re feeling okay? I walked in. I couldn’t help but notice you were taking a pill. Oh, they’re, they’re just for. Which is basically gone. I just feel terrible about missing work. I mean, the department’s understaffed as it is. No, no, no. Jay, listen to me.

What’s important to me is that you take care of yourself. Listen, if you’re not ready to come back to work, no, I am hanging around. Here is the last thing I want to do.

If you wanna ask me something, just. Ask. I don’t mind talking to you about this. Okay. All right. Yeah, it’s just tough. On Thanksgiving, you told me that you decided that you weren’t gonna keep the baby, and I know that Eric hooked, otherwise. He did. But in the end, I, I had to do a space for me, which was totally your right.

I assume Merick understands that yes, but he was still not happy that I had changed my mind and ended the pregnancy without telling him. Was he angry? No, he was confused, very upset.

His new girlfriend on the other hand, must be very relieved. I would assume so. Nicole made it pretty clear that she did not want me to have the baby.

Somebody’s gonna answer me. I mean, I walk in here and find you two hugging on my dead grandmother’s bed. Yes, Johnny. It’s not what it looks like really? Cuz it looks like the two of you just got it on. Johnny, you don’t understand. Fuck Dad. I get that you’re grieving. Okay. But it doesn’t give you the right to have sex with RA’s wife.

Yes, I do need a lawyer. Paulina Price’s husband is like an uncle to me and her daughter is dating my niece. Boy, your niece should get as far away as possible from Chanel Dupree. She killed my mother. I know I heard you get in into it with Paulina, but she said it was an accident. Oh, that is a complete lie.

My father was Chanel’s College Profess. That little slut seduced him, a married man twice her age with two children, and then in a jealous reach, she pushed my mother off the roof of the building and claimed it was suicide. That doesn’t sound like Chanel. I mean, she’s a good kid. Oh, well obviously that good kid is adapt to hiding her homicidal tendencies.

You know, most those all sociopaths are these actual events occurred that why wasn’t she arrested years ago? Because Paulina covered. She buried the evidence. She gave the school a very generous donation to make it all go away, and my father kept that secret for me for a very long time. But honest Buddy told me the truth, which I’m telling you right now.

You do believe me. Yeah, it’s just a lot to take in.

I didn’t do it.

My dad couldn’t bear the pain, so he started drinking, eventually drank himself to death.

I loved my parents so much. Now they’re both gone.

You know what? It feels like you have what means most to you in this school? Taken. Yes, I do.

Look, I know you don’t like Rafe, but he’s a good guy. He doesn’t deserve this. Rafe is a good guy, which is why I would never cheat on him with your father. No offense. No. Take him. Okay. Well, Nicole, if you’re not hooking up with my dad, then what are you doing? Simple. I had no place to go. So there’s no place else to go with this.

I called everyone in my overseas contacts. Oh, no one can work any jurisdictional magic and make these charges disappear. What about even the people you know in Scotland? Unfortunately none. Their hands are tied. I even called one of Shane Donovan’s contacts at the American Embassy in in London, and was he any help?

She, and unfortunately, no. Come on. Don’t they understand that what Chanel did was it was an accident. Excuse me. Oh, gas winter. What city? Council president. I wonder what he wants. One way to find out,

do you understand the kind of pain that I’m in? Did you lose your parents tragically? No, you’re very much alive and still a part of my life. And how can you empathize with me? Because I recently learned I was going to be a father. It was a complicated situation. I broke up with my ex and she decided she was gonna have the baby first.

And way we agreed we were gonna co-parent. I was really happy

she decided to have an abortion. She had entered her pregnancy before I even knew it was done. That must have been very painful. Yes, it was. And compounding the pain. It’s the woman that I love went behind my back and she told my act to her pregnancy. I’m sorry.

I am guessing something stemming from that situation is what, uh, landed you in this posh establishment. Give the lady a price. Sounds like we both got screwed. I don’t know about you, but I’m not the type of person to just roll over and take it. Someone pushes me, I push back. I’m a fighter and I’m willing to fight for you if you’d let me.

Well, what exactly did Nicole say to you? Well, she asked me why I’d wanna be tied to a man forever. Who didn’t love me, and she reminded me of how incredibly difficult that would be. What, yeah. And then she ran down a list of reasons of why single motherhood would suck, and that even if I, you know, had this baby and was juggling a child and being a cop, that I would feel at both, even with Eric’s support, I cannot believe Nicole did that I can, she was not going to let anything stand in the way between her and Eric.

Not me, not her marriage to you. I’m definitely not my pregnancy. You and Rafer getting divorced. What? Johnny? Johnny, that’s none of your concern. You’re right. You’re right. And, uh, sorry for prying Nicole, and I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions about what I walked in on. It’s okay. EJ was nice enough to offer me and Holly a place to stay after I blew up my life yet again.

That’s all this was. Now if you gentlemen will excuse me. Um, I’m gonna go take a shower and get to the office.

Well, that was awkward. Ever hear of knocking? Yeah. Yeah. I would have. I just didn’t think I needed to. I, I wanted to feel close to, uh, grandma Susan. She and I spent a lot of time together in this room, and I thought maybe I’d feel her spirit or something. I don’t know. It was, it was dumb. No, it’s not dumb and all.

Son, would you like me to move Nicole to a different room? No, no, no. Grandma was, she was all about being generous. She’d liked that someone you care about staying here and I’m sorry for going off on you earlier. Ah, I suppose I can’t blame you for thinking the worst of me, given what you learned in Jakarta, that Lee and Rolf brainwashed your brother and you kept quiet.

I was under the impression that you were going to keep quiet about it as well. I hope you’re not having second thoughts, son. There’s just so much bad blood between Sammy and me. The last thing I want is to be estranged from Eric too. Well, it sounds like you’ve made up your mind. Well, I have, but this still concerns you.

So if you don’t want me to, Hey, Val, listen to me. I would never wanna stand in the way of you representing your. All right. I want you to do what you feel is right. You are the best husband ever, . All right, I’ll go tell Eric that you decided to take his case. That right, it won’t be necessary. I’m sorry. You don’t have to defend me, sis.

I heard someone else. Who

me.

I see. Well, uh, thank you for reaching out to me directly gas. Oh, yes, yes. I’ll, I’ll, uh, I’ll get back to you with an answer as soon as. Please do not tell me he’s asking you to cut some damn ribbon when your family’s in crisis. It’s a bit more pressing than that. Well, what is it, Abe? The city council is asking me to resign as mayor effective immediately.

The city council is asking you to resign as soon as possible. Well, why? Why? Why are they doing this? Well, the way ca put it, the optics are not good. The mayor of being married to the governor elect, who allegedly is covering up a murder, optics are not the truth. Now, someone over there asked to know that I’m the reason, I’m the reason why they want Abe to reside, and I’m the reason why you can’t enjoy your big win.

Oh, no baby. No, no. I’m sorry mama. I have to go. Hello. Chanel. Chanel.

Okay, Eric, you’re angry with me. That’s fine. Be angry, but do not hire this snake out of spite. Find someone else. Anyone else you call Justin. Kek. I think I was in preschool the last time. That guy won a case. Shut up. Hey, don’t talk to my lawyer that way. Well, you wouldn’t be defending her if you knew how she operated.

Do you know what she’s doing to Paul and Chanel what I’m doing to them? How about what they did to me? That little slut murdered my mother and then her mommy goes and papered over her with hush money. Okay, Eric, if nothing. Think about what hiring her is gonna say to Abe. As far as I know, Abe’s always up for justice.

Yeah. Well, Sloan’s not out for justice. She’s out for revenge. And anything that will inflict the most amount of pain on Abe’s family. Yeah. From what I understand, Ms. Peterson here, she exposed a crime and coverup. So if anyone’s the victim, it’s her.

Hey, where the hell does Nicole get? After everything that went down. Instead of leaving you alone, she decides to lecture you especially about something that’s so personal and so private free. Listen, don’t misunderstand me, it was 100% my decision to have this abortion. If I was ready to be a mother, no one, especially Nicole would change my mind about that.

Okay? Yeah, that’s fine. But she’s still, she had no right to pressure you. Oh man. You know, I forgot how incredibly selfish Nicole can be when she’s trying to get something that she wants. And what she wants and has always wanted is Eric,

well, this, now there’s one less obstacle on her way. I wouldn’t be so sure about that. What does that mean? Let’s just say. Eric wasn’t too happy when he found out that she interfered.

I told you, I’ll keep my mouth shut and I will. What about Lee’s little sister? Wendy’s not gonna say anything. You need to look, relax. Got nothing to worry about.

Thank you, son. Don’t, don’t thank me. I feel horrible about keeping this secret. I think Stephan has a right. So you said, yeah, I’ll say it again. What Ralph did, erasing Stephan’s memories for Gabby. That’s messed up. Like I said before, I didn’t become aware of the brainwashing until after the fact. Didn’t stop from taking advantage of it, using it to take the company back, and I will not apologize for that.

For doing what was absolutely necessary to protect father’s company and your legacy. This was about family Giovanni. Is the only reason Wendy and I are keeping our mouth shut as wrong as we both think this is. She doesn’t wanna destroy your brother’s life, and I I don’t wanna destroy yours either.

You’re suffering enough after losing Grandma. We all are.

Well, Chanel’s not picking up. You want me to go find her? No, no. Give her a little space. She’ll calm down. But you, you must be asking yourself if jumping that broom with me on Juneteenth for such a good idea. You wouldn’t, would never regret marrying you. Even if, um, I’m about to cost you your. You know, I already intended to step down as mayor and accompany you to the state capitol.

That was before Sloane Peterson dropped this bomb on us. Well, she’s not going to derail plans. Oh, hey babe. Come on. We’re at the center of an international scandal. Now, even if I took off that, which has already ruined my chances of being a successful governor, oh, we don’t know that. Well, here’s what I do.

There’s absolutely no reason for you to bow out when I’ll probably never even be sworn in.

Hey, uh, is, is Wendy home? Uh, no. I, I think that she probably went to work and. Ali is at the bakery and I, I’m all alone. Chanelle, what’s going on? You okay? Ho? No I’m not.

You hurt me correctly, Ms. Trask. I no longer wish to press charges against Eric Brady. I see no reason to continue to waste our time or the taxpayer’s money on such an unfortunate. Thank you for doing that. I know how hard it is to resist the urge to stick it to Eric. I promised you I dropped the charges and I’m nothing if not a man of my word, generally speaking.

Of course, . Of course. Well, I’m gonna get going. I look forward to seeing you tonight for dinner. I’ll have chef. Make us up a nice dinner with a special dessert for Holly. Oh, and I’ve also asked Harold to get her room ready right next to yours. Of course, ej, uh, about us moving in. Mm-hmm. , I’m not sure it’s a good idea.

Eric, listen to me. I know that you’re going through a hard time right now. I’m fine. No, you’re not. You just spent the night in jail, which is where sharks like Sloan Peterson spend their time circling trying to get to vulnerable people like you, please. And I’m sure she gave you her big pitch about how she’s the best, right?

But don’t fall for that. Why are you making such a big deal? Except that her offer, because my own sister refused. Bella wants to take your case. You changed her mind, Eric. Yeah. We’re a little too late for that, isn’t it? Okay, great. Then unsettled. So why don’t we walk across the street and see about getting these ridiculous charges dropped?

Sounds like a good idea. It’s trash. Detective Brady,

and what if I choose not to?

Okay. All right. All right. I’ll let them out. What was that about? Well, uh, EJ declined pressing charges against Eric. Excellent. That means the DA doesn’t have a case unless you want to be responsible for prosecuting your brother-in-law. It’s not that simple. Why? What do you mean? SK is going after Eric for assaulting a police officer, whether I wanted to or not.

I thought you wanted to move in. I did, but ej now your son is accusing us of having an affair . So, so that, that doesn’t bother you. It was a misunderstanding. Well, even if it was how, how long until the rest of your family starts gossiping about us and then the entire town. Look . My life is a hot mess.

Right now, and, and I really, I don’t wanna deal with this since when does Nicole Walker give a rat’s ass what anyone in Sadam thinks? Uh, since I now have a young daughter, but not so young that she wouldn’t notice dirty looks when I drop her off at school. Or whispers and finger pointing when we walk through the square.

I just don’t wanna expose Holly to that. Would you be doing anything wrong by living?

No. Would you be choosing the best possible situation for your family, I suppose then it’s settled. You and Holly are going to move in here and you can stay for as long as you want. Anyone who has an opinion on that can bloody well shove it.

Glad you decided to eat something. Thanks for looking out for me, boss Hunter. I will always have your back on the job or off. I appreciate that and I hope I didn’t come off as petty earlier. No matter how I feel about Nicole, I mean she is still your wife, not for much longer even so I shouldn’t have gotten.

I heck not. I mean, it’s understandable. You have every right to be upset. She, uh, she basically ruined your relationship with Eric from day one. Yeah. You meet with all her unannounced visits to his room or her decision to offer him a job, or better yet to come over and give him another comforting hug. Oh, those were great, weren’t they?

I loved walking in on those, but, but, but remember, we’re just friends. Yeah. Friends who can’t keep their hands or lips off of each other. I mean, Eric said that he was in denial about his feelings about her, and I believe that, but Nicole , you’re right. You know, I don’t think I’ve ever met a more passive aggressive, just selfish.

Sorry, I’m doing it again. No, no, no. Hey, go ahead. Let all out. As much as I love to keep ripping, Nicole, it’s, it’s just not productive, but it’ll feel good. Mm. Not in the long. If I really wanna get past this, I have to rise above. Meaning when I made this decision, I, I had to ask myself, what is it that I really want?

And I decided that it wasn’t being a single mother, not under these circumstances.

It was the hardest decision that I’ve ever made that I, I made it and. I need to honor my decision by focusing all my energy on creating the life that I want. You know, so any trash talking negative self pity, I, I just need to put that aside and do what my daddy taught me and be the bigger person there.

Go d your daddy Marks, he was a wise man. Yeah. So I mean, Nicole. Eric, no more power to her. Obviously, I, I wasn’t up to the task. Don’t sell yourself. Sure. Fix was in. I wish I would’ve known. No, I did know and I chose to ignore it. You know, I, I looked right past the fact that when you get involved with Nicole Walker or Eric Brady, you choose to end up like all the rest that have come before.

Just a speed bump on their never ending road toss. Uh, well, gps let assistant know where the next exit is. . , get me the heck outta here, right? Oh man. Sorry,

Fernandez.

Okay. All right. Okay, well, uh, thanks a lot for letting me.

Something up at the station. Yeah, I guess you could say that Eric, spend the night in lockup. What, Sean? Why can’t you just refuse to cooperate with prosecution? Look, Trask has other witnesses from the bar that night. If this goes to trial, she’s gonna call me and I’m gonna have no choice but to testify.

This is outrageous. Who are you calling?

Melinda? SLM Peterson. No, actually I’m calling about my new client, Eric Brady. No, you listen. I just handed you not one, but two career making cases.

And you can settle up by putting an end to this witch hunt against Mr. Brady

Trask. Agreed to drop all the charges, so said I’m free to go. Yes, sir.

I don’t even know how to pay you. Oh, personal check. Venmo, PayPal. We start with breakfast. . I’d like that. Hey Eric, you can’t just leave. We need to talk. There’s nothing left to say.

And surely this, this Sloan person has to know that her mother’s death was an accident. No, she doesn’t. She’s convinced that it’s murder. Can’t you talk to her, help her see things from your side? Oh no. Gee, you don’t understand. She is so angry, so hell bent on revenge that she is not gonna stop. She’s not gonna give.

She is determined to take me down. She has made that her life’s mission. Me and now my mom and Abe, my Aunt Bell will not let that happen. What is already happening? I am destroying my parents’ lives. Yeah. You listen to me, Mrs. Carver. We will get you out of here and get you to Capitol City and we will weather this.

Just like we have every other since you captured my heart. Okay. Okay. You’ll be sworn in as governor and I’ll be right there by your side as first gentleman. Just like we planned. You know, the city council. City Council may have done me a favor. What are you doing? Giving them my answer. Hello Cass. I just wanted to, uh, Give the city council my answer to what they’ve asked of me, and I’ve been, and he has decided he’s not going to step down, not now, not ever.

Eric got drunk and assaulted EJ and. I can’t, Eric’s never even raised his voice. I can’t imagine him putting hands on anyone, let alone a cop. No, you haven’t known Eric that long. It’s not the first time that this guy has spiraled outta control. Really? Oh yeah. He dodged a bullet hunter and something tells me that this is just the beginning of St.

Eric’s fall from.

Whoa. Whoa, buddy. Slow down there. Big guy. Sorry. The food and lockup was akin to something that a cat regurgitated. I was gonna say not great, but yeah, I can be, uh, overly blunt at time some. Sure. You find that very unappealing. Absolutely not. It works for you. It works for me too. And thank you again. I really appreciate this.

Hey, Eric. I’m, I’m glad to see you out. DJ told me he dropped the charges. He had nothing to do with getting me outta lockup, my lawyer did. Thank you. Sloan Peterson, Al Squire. Pleasure to meet you. Nicole Walker. I’m Oh, I know exactly who you are. Mrs. Robbins, Roberts, Keka Dam. Cook Brady Hernandez. I forgetting.

Anybody like me, your reputation precedes you.

Oh, seeing Eric, like this just really scares me. He can handle Sloan maybe, but what about his. You know, he was drinking and driving the last time he was in a place this dark, some really bad things happened. I know. Listen, I understand your concern, honey, but Eric’s come a long way since then. Yes, right now he’s love a rough patch, but he’s gonna get through it.

I pray. You’re right. You have that go Pauline’s waiting for me. You want me to go with you? Help explain, uh, Eric’s choice of attorney. Uh, no, I think I got it. I will. Tell Abe that even though Sloane got her tentacles into my brother, there’s no way in hell I’m gonna let her cause any more damage to his family.

Paulina, what are you doing? You heard me? Councilman Winthrop, my husband is staying put. No, no. You don’t have to worry about any trouble arising from a being married to a governor at an invest. How can I be so sure easy? Because I won’t be Governor Beth. I know. I know. I’ve been elected, but I haven’t been sworn in yet, and I’ve decided that I never will be.

Why didn’t you tell me any of this when we were together? Because I was ashamed. I had an affair with a married man, and I didn’t want anyone know about it. Not you, not Allie, remember, would’ve judged you. I know that now. I honestly thought that all of this was behind me, and then this Sloan Peterson showed up in town and, and then all of a sudden I’m being arrested in the middle of the square.

I’m so sorry I wasn’t here for that. I left Salem at the worst time possible. I I wasn’t here for you. I wasn’t here when my grandma Susan died. What? Your, your grandma died. Allie didn’t tell you? No, but she, she probably didn’t wanna lay anything else on me, but I am so sorry Johnny. I know how much you loved her.

I did.

I mean, I’m just going on about my life and, and you, you’re, you must be hurting so bad. I am. Yeah. Um, so is my dad, coach Lee Projections. I know they’re here somewhere. Oof.

So much for instantaneous relief.

I’ll get it housed.

Oh my God.
