Where do you want them?<\/p>\n<p>Uh, just in my bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no room in there. What&#8217;s in this, anyway?<\/p>\n<p>I think the top one is Victoria&#8217;s clothes.<\/p>\n<p>More clothes?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, Mom and I kind of went overboard with the baby shopping. Actually&#8230; I think that might be her shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Shoes? She can&#8217;t even walk yet.<\/p>\n<p>I know, but they were so cute though. They were little.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Let me see this other one. It&#8217;s my gnome collection.<\/p>\n<p>You have a gnome collection? We were married. How do I not know this?<\/p>\n<p>Well, &#8217;cause I forgot about them. I mean, I haven&#8217;t seen them in years.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, I didn&#8217;t know that the gnomes were moving in as well. Don&#8217;t you think they&#8217;d be a bit more comfortable in a garden?<\/p>\n<p>Well, we don&#8217;t have a garden.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. I&#8217;m beat. Where do we sit? Don&#8217;t tell me we have to unpack tonight just so we can have a place to sit down.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t to tell you.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles softly] So&#8230; here we are.<\/p>\n<p>Living together.<\/p>\n<p>[soft music]<\/p>\n<p>[groans approvingly]<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>This smells amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you know roast chicken never fails.<\/p>\n<p>Well, especially yours.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, we Johnsons love our roast chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Uh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a family trait.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah, yeah, till Joey ruins it by putting ketchup on it.<\/p>\n<p>Ugh, that cretin.<\/p>\n<p>[laughter]<\/p>\n<p>Ah, I wish Joe was here.<\/p>\n<p>Mm, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Well, at least we have two of our kids in Salem, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we&#8217;re not exactly kids anymore.<\/p>\n<p>You will always be kids to us&#8230; little sweetness.<\/p>\n<p>[doorbell rings]<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[utensil clanks] Hey, you two.<\/p>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Come on in.<\/p>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for coming, Wendy.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, thank you so much for having me. I brought pie for you and Dr. Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Ooh.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, wow.<\/p>\n<p>Wendy brought pie.<\/p>\n<p>Pie, thank you so much. We&#8217;ll have this for dessert.<\/p>\n<p>Ooh, what kind of pie is it?<\/p>\n<p>Cherry.<\/p>\n<p>[gasps] Ooh.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, cherry. That&#8217;s your favorite. Now we know which Dr. Johnson she had in mind.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not so sure about that. We all love cherry.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, can I take your coats?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, so formal. No, Steph, I think we got it.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Thank you both for coming.<\/p>\n<p>We weren&#8217;t sure if it was going to be able to at first. I mean, it was kind of touch-and-go there for a second. It was pretty busy over there at the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, don&#8217;t say that word. You&#8217;re going to jinx it. But we are going to have a nice family dinner, just the five of us, with no interruptions.<\/p>\n<p>Five of us? Does that mean you&#8217;re flying solo tonight, sis?<\/p>\n<p>[inhales deeply] Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi, you&#8217;re sure everything&#8217;s okay? Well, yeah, I panicked, because every time I see Statesville infirmary on my caller ID, I get worried that something&#8217;s happened to you.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[sniffles] How&#8217;s the leg? Okay. Well, a break like that does take a long time to heal.<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music] It&#8217;s&#8211;it&#8217;s, um&#8230; Yeah, everything&#8217;s fine. No worries on that front.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] Gabi, I just told you, everything&#8217;s fine. I swear. Of course I would tell you.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] If you&#8217;re hearing something in my voice, it&#8217;s just that, uh&#8230; I miss you&#8230; terribly.<\/p>\n<p>Why&#8217;d you text me from a unknown number?<\/p>\n<p>Why&#8217;d you come out here if you didn&#8217;t know who it was? Ava, there&#8217;s a lot of shady activity going on around here, and I warned you to be careful.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you warned me? So this was a test?<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>No?<\/p>\n<p>[distant siren wailing] Okay, I need to close. So what do you want? Are you going to apologize again for that fiasco of a search back there?<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t about that.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, then what is it?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m worried about you. Okay? I need to know what&#8217;s really going on. Please, just give me the truth.<\/p>\n<p>[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, um, I-I-I should go check on Victoria and make sure she&#8217;s still sleeping.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] More toys. Sewing machi&#8211;sewing machine. You got to be kidding me. So what&#8217;s your answer?<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d be willing to give it a shot, I guess. I mean, I would&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>I was really hoping you would say that.<\/p>\n<p>[objects jingle] Uh, Sarah&#8230; welcome to your new home.<\/p>\n<p>Did you have these in your pocket the whole time?<\/p>\n<p>[laughter] You&#8217;re quiet<\/p>\n<p>[door opens]<\/p>\n<p>She is still out. So I thought maybe I could&#8230; heat up the leftover haggis&#8230; if we could get to the leftover haggis.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I mean, as much as I love that you love one of my favorite Scottish dishes, I think it&#8217;s pizza or bust tonight.<\/p>\n<p>And then&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And then we can unpack some of these boxes.<\/p>\n<p>So that our living room isn&#8217;t an obstacle course.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Yes, everything is great. I swear. Okay, not great like that. I mean&#8230; Yes, Gabi.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] I am falling apart without you. But&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] I miss your face. Ah, those, too. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] And certainly that. Okay, operator, thank you. Listen, my sweet wife, I, uh&#8230; I have to say goodbye, but you sleep well, okay? I&#8217;ll dream of you, too.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Ava!<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s going on with me&#8230; is I&#8217;m becoming a successful restaurant manager. It&#8217;s called The Bistro. Maybe you&#8217;ve heard of it. Hottest ticket in town.<\/p>\n<p>Can we just be serious for one minute, please?<\/p>\n<p>Look, I am cold. I need to go inside.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, well, just please&#8211; just please hold on. I know something&#8217;s wrong. I know you gave up the whole Mafia-princess thing years ago. And at first, I thought, what are they doing&#8211; sucking her back in? But that&#8217;s not it. Something&#8217;s gotten into you. I know it. I feel it.<\/p>\n<p>Good night, Harris.<\/p>\n<p>[softly] Ava. Please just tell me what&#8217;s going on. Let me help.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Dinner smells amazing, Dr. Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Uh, please, call me Kayla, especially since we have two Dr. Johnsons in the family.<\/p>\n<p>Right. That, uh, could get confusing.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, you can still call me Dr. Johnson, though. It feeds my ego.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Can we help with anything?<\/p>\n<p>No. We are all set.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, can we get the two of you some drinks?<\/p>\n<p>Uh, Wendy?<\/p>\n<p>Uh, white wine.<\/p>\n<p>Coming right up.<\/p>\n<p>[cell phone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>Hey, what&#8217;s up?<\/p>\n<p>Not much. I&#8217;m, uh&#8211;I&#8217;m at the Brady Pub. I just wrapped up an article I&#8217;ve been working on, and, um, I&#8217;m famished. You want to grab a bite?<\/p>\n<p>I am just about to sit down to dinner with my family.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no worries. Some other time.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, Ev&#8230; do you want to join us?<\/p>\n<p>It really is cold outside. I need to get back inside.<\/p>\n<p>Okay.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Is that better?<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe what you did back there&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Raiding my place.<\/p>\n<p>I had to.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah? Well, what&#8217;d you find? Nothing. Nothing. You just barged in there with your stupid warrant, and you scared my customers half to death. Don&#8217;t worry. They&#8217;re all good. We comped their meals. Please just stop. Stop doing that.<\/p>\n<p>Ava&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What? What do you want, Detective?<\/p>\n<p>Right now I&#8217;m not a cop. I&#8217;m just a man&#8230; A man who cares deeply for you.<\/p>\n<p>Mmm. I feel human again.<\/p>\n<p>[both sigh]<\/p>\n<p>Well, how about as a thank-you for doing all the heavy lifting, I heat up the haggis tomorrow, complete with the neeps and tatties that you love. Actually, I found a recipe where you cook everything in a whisky sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Mmm. Don&#8217;t tease me.<\/p>\n<p>I never would. So, um, should we get started?<\/p>\n<p>[groans] We should probably get it over with. But, um&#8230; before we do, Sarah&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>I want us both to be comfortable here together in our shared home. And I was just wondering&#8230; don&#8217;t you think maybe we should consider, I don&#8217;t know, condensing a wee bit? Like, um&#8211;like, for instance, do we need, oh, I don&#8217;t know, a-a sewing machine? Do you even sew?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s an antique passed through my mom&#8217;s family. And I just&#8211;I don&#8217;t know. I thought I&#8217;d take it up.<\/p>\n<p>With all that free time that you have?<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Yeah. It&#8217;s not that much, huh? No, you&#8217;re right. Okay, yeah. We should both downsize a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[smacks lips] What about this gigantic trunk? Where did&#8211;where did this guy come from? And, uh, can we get rid of it?<\/p>\n<p>My kilt trunk?<\/p>\n<p>Your what?<\/p>\n<p>My kilt trunk. It&#8217;s where I keep my kilt and my ghillie brogues.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] I never saw that when we were married.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I kept in a closet underneath my Highland wool blanket.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, well, we have to scale back somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Well, maybe your gnome friends would be a little bit more at home in a garden shed at your mother&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>So wait. You get to keep the kilts, but I got to my gnomes?<\/p>\n<p>Sarah, keep whatever you like. I just&#8211;I&#8217;m just trying to find a way to excavate the furniture.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. How about I ask my mom to store stuff for both of us that isn&#8217;t imminently required?<\/p>\n<p>Perfect.<\/p>\n<p>And then we can move all of that stuff tomorrow to her house.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[gasps] Hey, you made it. Come on in.<\/p>\n<p>You know this guy?<\/p>\n<p>Uh, yeah. I met him when I was living with Steph and Joey in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>And you never mentioned him to me?<\/p>\n<p>Ah, well, I&#8217;m sorry, I didn&#8217;t know it was my job to feed you intel on Stephanie&#8217;s boyfriends.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] No, it&#8217;s not your job. I just didn&#8217;t know she had a boyfriend back then.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, everybody. This is Everett Lynch, the editor in chief of &#8220;The Spectator.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Everett, welcome. I&#8217;m Kayla, Stephanie&#8217;s mom.<\/p>\n<p>Nice to see you again, Everett. Uh, this is my girlfriend, Wendy.<\/p>\n<p>Hi, Wendy. Hey, Tripp.<\/p>\n<p>Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Nice to meet you, Kayla.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m Stephanie&#8217;s father, Steve.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you don&#8217;t mind me crashing your dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, absolutely not. The more the merrier.<\/p>\n<p>Well, what&#8217;s all that?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, uh, bottle of white and a bottle of red. And, uh, these are for you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my goodness.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Wow. Those are beautiful. Look at us, with these polite, generous guests we&#8217;ve got here&#8211; wine and pie and flowers.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Thank you. Stephanie, why don&#8217;t you set another place for Everett, and I&#8217;ll put these in water.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Uh, I can help. Yeah, perfect.<\/p>\n<p>All right, so, Everett, what can I get you to drink?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, um, glass of red, if you&#8217;re uncorking it.<\/p>\n<p>You got it.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; I understand you knew my daughter back in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. So, so far, these are all going.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re making progress.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s in this one? Oh, this is the card I gave you on our very first Valentine&#8217;s Day together.<\/p>\n<p>No. Don&#8217;t look in that box.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the matter?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just&#8211;ah, nothing. I know what&#8217;s in it. So you don&#8217;t&#8211;you don&#8217;t need to&#8211;to look into it.<\/p>\n<p>What is it?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nothing. It&#8217;s&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] It is my&#8230; Xander box.<\/p>\n<p>You have a Xander box?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I mean, it&#8217;s just, you know, like&#8211;like, just trinkets and mementos from when you were together.<\/p>\n<p>You kept mementos of when we were together?<\/p>\n<p>Well, yeah. It&#8217;s me. I&#8217;m sentimental. So it&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah&#8230; I have to look inside this box. Please?<\/p>\n<p>Fine.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I&#8217;d lost this! This is&#8211;this is the hat I wore on our first trip to the beach, you thief. Oh, my God. You found it.<\/p>\n<p>[soft music]<\/p>\n<p>You know, when we were together&#8230; and I saw who you really are&#8230; and what&#8217;s been happening lately, this is not&#8211;this is not you.<\/p>\n<p>It is me.<\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n<p>It is. This is who I have been all along. You just couldn&#8217;t see it.<\/p>\n<p>No, I don&#8217;t believe that. Not for a second&#8230; Because I felt it in my soul. I felt the good in you. The loving, caring person that you are. That&#8217;s who I still see.<\/p>\n<p>There you are. Am I interrupting something?<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Ah.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla.<\/p>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Everett was just about to tell me how he and Stephanie met.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>But he was saved by the dinner bell.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I&#8217;d like to hear that story.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, it&#8217;s, um&#8211;it&#8217;s not that interesting, really. We&#8211;we met at a coffee shop.<\/p>\n<p>Wow. A coffee shop? Not in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Clich\u00e9, right?<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>He was in line ordering his morning chocolate chip muffin.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah. Bit of a creature of habit. It&#8217;s very embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>I was ahead of him, and I got the last one, and he actually offered me bucks to buy it.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I started at , but you looked at me like I was crazy, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ah, I can&#8217;t imagine.<\/p>\n<p>So did you take the bucks?<\/p>\n<p>No. She very generously offered to split the muffin in half.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not heartless.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, and I knew sort of then and there that she, was, um&#8230; she was special. Not just because of the way she&#8211;she split the muffin, but maybe just the smile on her face while she did it.<\/p>\n<p>Ahh.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Maybe it was just everything about her. Anyway, uh, we got to talking, and it turned out that she was doing PR for a nonprofit that I was covering.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>And the rest is history.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you know what they say. One man&#8217;s history is another man&#8217;s mystery.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Dad.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I just mean, you know, um, your mom and I were surprised to hear that your Seattle ex-boyfriend was in town, when we didn&#8217;t even know you had a boyfriend in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Well, excuse me for wanting to see where a relationship goes before telling my parents.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Fair enough. So, Everett, did you move to Salem to be with Stephanie?<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs]<\/p>\n<p>I mean, are you two back together again or what?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat]<\/p>\n<p>Where did you find this?<\/p>\n<p>Well, my mom did at the house&#8211; just recently, actually.<\/p>\n<p>I looked everywhere for this right before our wedding.<\/p>\n<p>I remember. It&#8217;s a part of an ancient Scottish tradition.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. It&#8217;s a Quaich whisky cup. It&#8217;s, uh&#8230; it&#8217;s known as the loving cup, because&#8211; Well, see the two handles?<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>One for the bride, one for the groom.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>And the newlyweds drink their first drink together as a married couple.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>It symbolizes love and trust. I was hoping that we could drink from it at our wedding.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really sorry that you couldn&#8217;t find it. It&#8217;s used for Burns Night, too, right?<\/p>\n<p>You know about Burns Night?<\/p>\n<p>I did some research. It&#8217;s a celebration of Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet.<\/p>\n<p>The great Scottish poet.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] And it&#8217;s celebrated on his birthday, which is next week.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] I&#8217;m so impressed.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Oh&#8230; our wedding photo. Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>[soft music]<\/p>\n<p>Well, um, it&#8217;s&#8211;it&#8217;s safe to say that this box can go back into storage, &#8217;cause we won&#8217;t be needing any of that.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re not interrupting anything.<\/p>\n<p>Good, &#8217;cause it&#8217;s cold out here. I need to get you inside. And we have a hell of a mess to clean up, thanks to the detective.<\/p>\n<p>That was legal.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah? Legal? Had nothing to do with your personal vendetta against me?<\/p>\n<p>No, not a thing.<\/p>\n<p>Right. Well, I&#8217;m not buying that for a second. You know, why don&#8217;t you get the hell out of here?<\/p>\n<p>I have a few more questions for your business partner.<\/p>\n<p>You have any more questions, you can contact my lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>Hey!<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Dad, I wish you wouldn&#8217;t interrogate Everett in this way, okay?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not interrogating him. I just asked a simple question. That&#8217;s all.<\/p>\n<p>No, I honestly&#8211; uh, I don&#8217;t mind. Um&#8230; no, Stephanie and I are not back together. Uh, she&#8217;s made it very clear that friendship is&#8211;is all she wants right now.<\/p>\n<p>But you want more?<\/p>\n<p>Dad, stop.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just another question. Come on.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s&#8211;honestly, I don&#8217;t mind. Um, I respect Stephanie&#8217;s feelings on the matter entirely, and I&#8217;m, uh, very grateful to have her friendship.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m going to pivot to another subject&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ah, yeah. Great idea.<\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Uh, Wendy and I actually have something we&#8217;d like to share with you.<\/p>\n<p>[soft music]<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think that&#8217;s all we should do for tonight. And, hey, look, an actual chair.<\/p>\n<p>Flip you for it.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] No, no. You go ahead. You look beat.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, thank you. I think I pulled my shoulder, on top of it everything else.<\/p>\n<p>[groans] I blame those bloody gnomes of yours&#8211; little beast buggers.<\/p>\n<p>You sure you didn&#8217;t do it when you were moving your kilt trunk?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] No. But I&#8217;m sure that didn&#8217;t help.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Here, lean forward.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Oh, right&#8211; Yeah, right there. Ah.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[groans]<\/p>\n<p>You know what? We are going to have to take turns with this, roomie.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>We can switch off every other night.<\/p>\n<p>Deal. Oh, and how about, whoever cooks dinner&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>The other one has to do the dishes, assuming that we, you know, share the meal?<\/p>\n<p>Deal. And, hey, I will do your laundry if you go to the grocery store, because I really hate grocery shopping.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Works for me. I mean, I can&#8217;t fold worth a damn, and I&#8217;ve turned my underwear pink a time or two.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] I thought that Scotsmen didn&#8217;t wear any undies.<\/p>\n<p>Funny.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>I guess I&#8217;ll take trash duty.<\/p>\n<p>Okay. But no splitting cleaning of the bathrooms, &#8217;cause we each have our own.<\/p>\n<p>Too bad.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I kind of wanted you to see how mature I&#8217;ve gotten. You ready for this?<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>I put the toilet seat down now.<\/p>\n<p>[gasps] No, freakin&#8217; way.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s official. I also just heard that hell froze over.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Well, we have a child that will be up at dawn. So we should probably get to bed.<\/p>\n<p>[soft music]<\/p>\n<p>What the hell is wrong with you, you freaking Neanderthal? Did you have to yank me around so hard?<\/p>\n<p>I had to get you the hell out of there before you spilled everything to that guy.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t going to spill.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no? Because from where I was standing, it looked like you were going to shove the truth and your tongue down his throat.<\/p>\n<p>You are dead wrong. I am in this as deep as you are. You think I want to get busted, spend the next decade of my life in prison?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Well, well, well, if it isn&#8217;t the creature that wouldn&#8217;t die. I thought I told you to get the hell out of here.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, as an officer sworn to protect and serve, it&#8217;s my duty, sir, to tell you you left your back door unlocked, and there&#8217;s been a lot of crime in this area lately.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Officer. Now, please, scurry to your police car.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also my duty to check on the well-being of this woman right here after I just saw you assault her.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] Oh, please.<\/p>\n<p>Ava, you okay? You want to press charges?<\/p>\n<p>You have got to be kidding me.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot deny the connection between us. I see the real you. Just come with me, please. I can protect you.<\/p>\n<p>You know what, pal? The only thing left here for you to see is this.<\/p>\n<p>Uh-huh.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I see what&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>This is what you wanted to show us?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>You guys really know how to build up the anticipation.<\/p>\n<p>Someone please explain what I&#8217;m looking at.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a scavenger hunt using an app on your phone.<\/p>\n<p>Fun.<\/p>\n<p>Scavenger hunt. We were just talking about something like this a couple days ago.<\/p>\n<p>Yes. Not online-related, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat] Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s this amazing geocache-based game that I did in Hong Kong, and I was thinking maybe we&#8217;d want to try something like it here.<\/p>\n<p>Geocache?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. So you hide things in containers all over the city, and then you post clues where to find them.<\/p>\n<p>Right. And when you do, you take what&#8217;s hidden, and you replace it with a new treasure. Is that right?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. It&#8217;s a points game. And so every time you find a new item, you get some points.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the purpose of it?<\/p>\n<p>To have fun, Dad.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s an adventure. It gets you outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>What if we did it for charity? We could get &#8220;The Spectator&#8221; to sponsor it.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, how about if the hospital benefits from this?<\/p>\n<p>Ooh, I like that idea.<\/p>\n<p>And I could handle the tech.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>And Steve could place all the items, because you know the city&#8217;s ins and outs better than anybody around.<\/p>\n<p>You know what? I will call Mayor Price first thing in the morning. I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;s going to be wiped out from her MLK activities, but I know she&#8217;ll love it. We just need to set a date.<\/p>\n<p>Well, since February is American Heart Month, what better day than Valentine&#8217;s Day?<\/p>\n<p>Our anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. I would love to have a treasure hunt on our special day with you, baby.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>So what kind of goodies are we going to hide?<\/p>\n<p>[upbeat music]<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Tripp. Interesting.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie. Not bad.<\/p>\n<p>Everett. Mm, a bit esoteric, but, okay.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Wendy.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve obviously done this before.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Really?<\/p>\n<p>Just keep it to yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Really?<\/p>\n<p>[laughter]<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m kidding. I&#8217;ll do another one.<\/p>\n<p>[laughter]<\/p>\n<p>Okay, well, let&#8217;s regroup in a few days after I talk to the mayor, and then we can&#8211;we can work out the details.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds good.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>All right. Well, uh, we&#8217;re actually sorry because we have to take off. I&#8217;m on early shift in the morning. all: Aw.<\/p>\n<p>Well, listen, what a treat.<\/p>\n<p>So glad you can make it,<\/p>\n<p>Family dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, listen, Wendy, why don&#8217;t I fix you a doggy bag for you and Tripp? We have so many leftovers. Come on.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, okay.<\/p>\n<p>Pick out what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that&#8217;d be great.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla, dinner was amazing as always.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m glad you liked it. Listen, look after that girl.<\/p>\n<p>I will.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Listen, I-I know I&#8217;ll probably see you at the hospital in the morning, but I wanted to let you know that Paulina is getting her test results back tomorrow. She&#8217;s a tough cookie, but, uh&#8230; well, I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll be able to handle whatever it is.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I&#8217;m sure. But Holly Jonas, though&#8211; I wish there was more we could do for her. She&#8217;s still non-responsive to sound, light, or touch.<\/p>\n<p>[soft music]<\/p>\n<p>I just want to tell you I&#8217;m so happy you&#8217;re staying in Salem. Tripp is over the moon about it.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Well, I&#8217;m pretty over the moon myself&#8211; to be with him, I mean.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you&#8217;re obviously a very special person, and Kayla and I are so happy that Tripp has found someone he loves&#8230; and who loves him, too.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I, uh&#8211;I should probably get going, too.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, come on, you&#8217;re a night owl. You only need, what, five or six hours of sleep?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s sort of by necessity, not by desire.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Yeah, I seem to recall you having issues with insomnia.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, coma&#8211;surefire cure to a sleep disorder.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;re really into that, uh, scavenger idea?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah, I love it. I think it&#8217;ll be an awesome fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p>Well, maybe we should team up and treasure hunt.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Well, if we know where everything&#8217;s hidden, that would be cheating.<\/p>\n<p>Mm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Unless&#8230; I tell my dad not to tell us where the treasures are. Then you and I can turn this town upside down.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Sounds like a plan.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry. No, we aren&#8217;t doing this. That&#8217;s&#8211;we shouldn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>No, we aren&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-mm.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, we were. But we&#8217;re&#8211;but we&#8217;re not now.<\/p>\n<p>Right. Because&#8230; it&#8217;s not a good idea. And we don&#8217;t want history repeating itself.<\/p>\n<p>No. Look, I&#8217;m so glad we&#8217;re in a good place now, Sarah, and I don&#8217;t want to do anything that will mess that up.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I don&#8217;t either. You know, we have this beautiful baby girl who deserves a happy, loving home. So we should just&#8230; focus on being good parents and doing what&#8217;s best for her.<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely. I mean, that&#8217;s the major goal here&#8211; whatever is best for Victoria.<\/p>\n<p>Right. For Victoria.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria.<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music] Well, I guess I should, um&#8230; I probably get some kip. Apparently I have a lot of moving to do tomorrow, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Uh, good night, Xander.<\/p>\n<p>Good night, Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] You get it now?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I get it. You&#8217;re a married man who&#8217;s cheating on your incarcerated wife.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. And Ava doesn&#8217;t seem to have a problem with that. Do you?<\/p>\n<p>Uh, no. No, we&#8211; It&#8217;s just something we&#8211;we can&#8217;t help. And why should we fight it? You know, life&#8217;s short.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Carpe diem.<\/p>\n<p>I guess you two deserve each other, then. Ava, I hope the next time I see you it&#8217;s not behind bars.<\/p>\n<p>[Ava breathes deeply]<\/p>\n<p>Hey, it&#8217;s okay. He&#8217;s gone now, okay? And he&#8217;s all talk. You know that, okay? He&#8211;Just try&#8211; Let it go, all right?<\/p>\n<p>Did you have to kiss me like that?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8211; It was all for show. You know that. I-I didn&#8217;t mean anything by it. I still love my wife, okay? Deeply.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I know that, you idiot. Please, don&#8217;t flatter yourself. It was just&#8211; You know what? It was a bit much.<\/p>\n<p>I had to make it believable. What do you expect? And listen to me&#8211;that cop, he is not your friend. So stay the hell away from him, or he will bury us.<\/p>\n<p>[breathing heavily]<\/p>\n<p>[shouts angrily]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/07\/19\/days-of-our-lives-transcripts\/\">Back to the Days Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/12\/23\/daytime-soap-transcripts\/\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daysanim.gif\" alt=\"Days of Our Lives cast animated GIF\" width=\"137\" height=\"153\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Days of Our Lives Transcript &nbsp; Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!
