I can&#8217;t help from feeling guilty, you know, from feeling this happy when I know that Nicole and my dad are just down the hall feeling so miserable.<\/p>\n<p>[inhales deeply] Yeah? Well, at least with Holly going to Italy tomorrow, there&#8217;s some hope.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I mean, my dad was a patient at that Italian hospital and worked miracles for him. You know, this whole thing with Holly, it&#8217;s kind of made me realize something, something important, you know, that I&#8211; I really think that you and I should talk about. Tonight.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs softly]<\/p>\n<p>Mm. That feels so nice.<\/p>\n<p>[both chuckle]<\/p>\n<p>You know, the benefits of human touch are profound.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>You know, they say that research shows that it lowers the heart rate and blood pressure and reduces depression and boosts the immune system. Even mitigates pain. I&#8217;m sorry. That was too nerdy doctor stuff, wasn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>No, no, not at all.<\/p>\n<p>[both chuckle] I love that you have a cerebral take on romance.<\/p>\n<p>OK. OK, then. Well, then I will tell you one more nerdy doctor thing. Here, take my hand. When people hold hands or engage in any kind of intimate behavior&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm?<\/p>\n<p>It triggers a release of oxytocin in the brains, and it reduces depression and fear and anxiety and it pumps up the feelings of trust and compassion.<\/p>\n<p>Well, although not a nerdy doctor, obviously, I have read up on oxytocin and its effects.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm?<\/p>\n<p>And they call it the love hormone, don&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n<p>They do. They do. And it&#8217;s definitely working its magic on me right now.<\/p>\n<p>[both sigh]<\/p>\n<p>[phone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>Mm. I better get that.<\/p>\n<p>[phone ringing] I&#8217;m expecting a call from my mom, and she is not happy with me, as you know.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Well, go ahead and talk to her, then. I&#8217;m going to go grab a drink from the kitchen. Do you want anything?<\/p>\n<p>No, thank you. But maybe when you get back, I can discover the benefits of touching you.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm?<\/p>\n<p>[phone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>[phone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>[speaking Mandarin]<\/p>\n<p>[glass clinks]<\/p>\n<p>Relax. It&#8217;s just me.<\/p>\n<p>What are you&#8211;what are you doing sitting in the dark?<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>[Ava gulps]<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure you want to know.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, pretty good night. Two successful raids, no one got hurt, and we got some drugs off the street.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. The intel from the new informant really paid off.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s a good start, but we&#8217;ve got to get to the source.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, and I was hoping to get closer to it, but my raid at the bistro was a bust. We turned that place upside down. There was nothing. I still can&#8217;t believe it.<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>[phone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>[Brady sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Hello?<\/p>\n<p>Brady. Hey, I&#8217;m sorry to wake you up, man. I didn&#8217;t know who else to call right now. Theresa&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n<p>Gone? W-what do you mean gone?<\/p>\n<p>We went to bed, and she was tossing and turning. She pretty much cried herself to sleep over Tate. Then I woke up a little while ago, and she&#8217;s MIA. I looked all over the apartment. I looked all over the building. She&#8217;s nowhere to be found. I looked everywhere I could possibly think. I called her cell phone over and over again, but it&#8217;s going straight to voicemail.<\/p>\n<p>[Brady sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Damn it. Damn it. I was afraid of this.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>Afraid of what?<\/p>\n<p>Alex, just stay there. I&#8217;m&#8211;I&#8217;m on my way.<\/p>\n<p>[phone beeps]<\/p>\n<p>[Brady sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, you sound&#8211; you sound so serious. What is it, G?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nothing. It&#8217;s just&#8230; this thing, you know, with Holly. It&#8217;s&#8211;it&#8217;s made me realize how unpredictable life is.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I get that. You know, with everything that&#8217;s going on with Mama, I have been on pins and needles waiting for her biopsy results because her whole life could just turn upside down. And mine and Abe&#8217;s and&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I know.<\/p>\n<p>[both sigh] I know. And look, if you really think about it and you look at what&#8217;s happened with Holly, you know, what happened to her dad, Daniel, you don&#8217;t&#8230; you don&#8217;t have to be old, you don&#8217;t have to be sick. There&#8217;s no guarantee on how much time we have left, and that&#8217;s made me realize that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music] I don&#8217;t want to spend another day without you, Chanel. So let&#8217;s get married again.<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy gasps] Mm.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[peaceful music]<\/p>\n<p>[Ava groans]<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you haven&#8217;t heard? The police raided the bistro tonight looking for drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, not to worry. They didn&#8217;t find anything.<\/p>\n<p>Is that because there was nothing to find, or is it because you got lucky?<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>I told you. There&#8217;s nothing going on.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, Mom, it&#8217;s not like you have the best track record here. I mean, how many times have you sworn up and down to me that you&#8217;re walking the straight and narrow, and then, oh, yeah, a little money laundering or, oops, a little blackmail, forging marriage certificates.<\/p>\n<p>You know, you don&#8217;t understand.<\/p>\n<p>No, I understand enough that there is something going on that has you rattled. OK? And whatever that something is, you need to understand that you don&#8217;t have to handle this alone. OK? I&#8217;m your son. I&#8217;m right here. Let me help you.<\/p>\n<p>[Ava sighs and chuckles softly]<\/p>\n<p>OK. Let&#8217;s break this down. Two productive raids and a third that didn&#8217;t pay off. All spurred by information from the same informant. Michaels, what do you think happened?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, I believe the intel was solid.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>So do I.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah? So do I. So what&#8217;s the Disconnect?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the more I think about it, there can only be one explanation.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm. They knew we were coming.<\/p>\n<p>How? Who knew the targets?<\/p>\n<p>And the search warrants were sealed. And as far as we know, it was only our teams that executed them.<\/p>\n<p>I signed off on every one of the cops involved. Something&#8217;s not right here.<\/p>\n<p>So if the info came from within our department&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Could we have a dirty cop?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for getting over here so quick. Hey, what did you mean when you said on the phone that I was afraid of this?<\/p>\n<p>[Brady sighs] You don&#8217;t think&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>That she might be using.<\/p>\n<p>[Ben sighs] Yeah, it&#8217;s a possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Brady, she&#8217;s been clean for so long. Tate&#8217;s out of jail. He&#8217;s safe.<\/p>\n<p>I know, I know. It could be a culmination of everything that&#8217;s happened, and she&#8217;s finally cracked under the pressure. Having to say goodbye to him tonight, not knowing if we&#8217;re going to see him for a month. She knows he&#8217;s nervous, he&#8217;s scared. And the fact that&#8211;the fact that we couldn&#8217;t protect them.<\/p>\n<p>Theresa blames herself for a lot of this.<\/p>\n<p>I know. I know, and that&#8217;s why we gotta find her. Look, man, if I&#8217;m wrong, the worst-case scenario is she&#8217;s going to be mad at both of us, but if I&#8217;m right&#8230; we gotta prevent a slip from becoming a skyfall.<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>OK, look. I know what you&#8217;re thinking. But before you say anything, just let me say I&#8217;ve been thinking about this for a long time, OK? You remember when I said I wanted to do something special for our would-be anniversary? Well, it was all centered around a proposal. But then, you know, your mom had her health scare. The holidays happened. The thing with Holly happened. And it just&#8211; I don&#8217;t know. It never felt like the right time, but I don&#8217;t want to wait any longer. OK? And this time I want to have a big, fat wedding, you know. I want to pull out all the stops. I want to invite everybody in town. Or we could do a destination wedding if you want. Not like the one we did in Italy. Now, I want to fly everybody out on the DiMera jet. We&#8217;ll go someplace warm. Maybe Hawaii or the Caymans.<\/p>\n<p>OK, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold your horses, cowboy. That is not a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>What, you don&#8217;t want to get married?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I didn&#8217;t say that.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] It&#8217;s just&#8211;like, we can&#8217;t have this huge wedding and fly everyone to the Caymans. Not with everything that&#8217;s going on right now with your family. You know, your stepsister, she&#8217;s&#8211;she&#8217;s in a coma. That would come off as really insensitive.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Wow. Yeah, you&#8217;re right. I&#8211;I guess I just wasn&#8217;t thinking. Well, I was thinking, but only about us. So how about this, then? How about a big, fat small wedding?<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel laughs] What?<\/p>\n<p>Mama would love that. And you know what? I might love that, too, if you ever got around to asking me. Properly.<\/p>\n<p>[delicate dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>[Johnny chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Why is he taking so long?<\/p>\n<p>[groans] Get done packing.<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music] What the heck?<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy giggles]<\/p>\n<p>[Tripp groans] Which one? No.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>Nice and quick.<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy laughs and gasps]<\/p>\n<p>[Tripp groans]<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy laughs] No.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Yeah, I saw that one coming.<\/p>\n<p>I usually don&#8217;t lose at this game.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, really?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>[both chuckle]<\/p>\n<p>[delicate dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>[Wendy sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Tripp, go back to bed.<\/p>\n<p>No. No, I&#8217;m not walking away from this.<\/p>\n<p>[Ava scoffs]<\/p>\n<p>Oh. I, uh, didn&#8217;t realize your mom was here. Sorry. I should go back to bed.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s late. You should both call it a night.<\/p>\n<p>No, I&#8217;m not going anywhere until I get some answers.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;ll let you two talk.<\/p>\n<p>No. No, stay. I want you to hear this.<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music] There was a drug raid at the bistro tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. And nothing happened.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Which is just about where we were when you came in. And, Mom, you should know that I&#8217;ve already told Wendy about how worried I am about you and why. And, as I told you, that&#8217;s why we didn&#8217;t go to China.<\/p>\n<p>And that was a mistake. You should have gone and let me handle this.<\/p>\n<p>So there is something to handle?<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>I hate to think that there could be a dirty cop on my team. Nothing makes my blood boil more.<\/p>\n<p>Well, if Harris came up empty-handed because they tipped them off, then that&#8217;s something we have to consider.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I mean, look, if we have a mole, we should keep things on just a need-to-know basis.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>For a little while, hmm?<\/p>\n<p>Agreed. And I&#8217;m going to pull the jackets of all the officers that were involved in all the stakeouts tonight. Tomorrow, I&#8217;ll look at them with a fresh pair of eyes and see if there are any red flags.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>[phone beeps] Oh, they have a few questions for me downstairs in records. I&#8217;ll take care of it.<\/p>\n<p>Great. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Well, after that, go home and get some rest.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] I will do that.<\/p>\n<p>You know, I could&#8211; I could feel the smugness seeping from Stefan&#8217;s pores when we didn&#8217;t find anything tonight, like he got away with something. You know, I was talking to Ava afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Alone. And she was on the verge of opening up. And Stefan came out and then she shut right up.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Even if you had talked to Ava, I would question the veracity of anything she has to say. Now, look, I know that you&#8217;re hoping that she&#8217;s going to open up to you and you&#8217;re going to get through to her. But the bottom line with Ava Vitali&#8230; she can&#8217;t be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>I agree with you. We need to find Theresa right now. But how? I tried locating her phone. The last place that it was pinned was here in the apartment.<\/p>\n<p>She must have turned her phone off before she left.<\/p>\n<p>OK. That&#8217;s what I figured, so where do we start looking?<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful somber music]<\/p>\n<p>I have an idea.<\/p>\n<p>OK. I just hit send. You should have that form now. Great. You have a good night, too.<\/p>\n<p>[phone rings] Hunter.<\/p>\n<p>Jada, it&#8217;s Brady. Sorry to be calling so late.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, it&#8217;s fine. I&#8217;m still at work now.<\/p>\n<p>Listen, um, I need your help, um, off the record.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Theresa is missing. Now, listen, it&#8217;s not long enough to file a police report, but it&#8217;s long enough for me to be worried about her. We&#8217;ve, uh, we&#8217;ve been going through quite an ordeal with our son lately, and given her history with substance abuse&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I assumed you tried her cell?<\/p>\n<p>I did, and it&#8217;s&#8211; it&#8217;s turned off. I was hoping that you could possibly unofficially run her credit cards. Maybe she charged some things and maybe hit an ATM somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Well, um, since you began by asking for my help offthe record, I&#8217;m assuming that you know that I need to have a search warrant in order to obtain those records.<\/p>\n<p>I-I wasn&#8217;t sure.<\/p>\n<p>[inhales deeply] Tell you what. Uh, why don&#8217;t you come down to the station and file a missing persons report? You can do that at any time. There&#8217;s no waiting period. That&#8217;s just a myth.<\/p>\n<p>Uh, yeah, listen, Jada, I&#8217;m going to be brutally honest with you right now. Given&#8211;given what happened to Holly and given this drug epidemic, I, uh&#8230;I think that if we wait too long, it might be too late. So I&#8217;m asking you right now will you please help me?<\/p>\n<p>[dissonant suspenseful music]<\/p>\n<p>Well, we are still investigating Holly Jonas&#8217; overdose case. So are you suggesting that we look into Theresa Donovan&#8217;s financial records to support that investigation, Mr. Black? Because if so, I can get a search warrant right now to do so. So are you telling me that Ms. Donovan&#8217;s credit card records can provide evidence to support and aid the Salem PD on this ongoing investigation?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that is what I&#8217;m telling you.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Well, thanks for the tip, and I will be sure to look into that right now and call you if I find anything.<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful percussive music]<\/p>\n<p>OK. Asking you properly&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>To marry me. I take it you want this to be more of a, uh, formal kind of thing, then?<\/p>\n<p>Well, when you were planning it for our would-be anniversary, was it not a formal thing?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it was. OK. But I just&#8211;I didn&#8217;t quite have all of my ducks in a row for a couple of things. But you know me. I&#8217;m always, you know&#8211; I&#8217;ve been historically a &#8220;fly by the seat of my pants&#8221; kind of guy.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm. I do know that. And I also know that you are a smart guy who knows that this is important to me. So now, will you fly by the seat of your pants and give me a kiss?<\/p>\n<p>[gentle music]<\/p>\n<p>OK. Theoretically, though&#8230; if I were to formally ask you, when would be a good time for you to get married?<\/p>\n<p>[laughing] Johnny.<\/p>\n<p>What? I just said theoretically, all right? Just&#8211;just give me a second here. Let&#8217;s check the calendar.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>All right?<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>What about&#8230; Look. Look at that. How&#8217;s that? How&#8217;s that work for you?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s, uh, kinda clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s kind of perfect.<\/p>\n<p>I agree. And if we get married on Valentine&#8217;s Day, you know I&#8217;ll never forget our anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, but don&#8217;t think you can get by with one gift for both occasions.<\/p>\n<p>[laughing] OK, you don&#8217;t have to worry about that. I&#8217;m not a double-gifting kind of guy, all right? On the contrary, I intend to spoil you rotten.<\/p>\n<p>Ooh. Well, do you think that maybe you can start spoiling me right now?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;d you have in mind?<\/p>\n<p>Mm&#8230;a midnight snack.<\/p>\n<p>OK. What sounds good?<\/p>\n<p>Mmm, I don&#8217;t know. Surprise me.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s just about my favorite thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[Johnny grunts]<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel giggles]<\/p>\n<p>Look, I assure you, Tripp, everything&#8217;s going to be fine. I&#8217;ve got everything under control.<\/p>\n<p>Just tell me what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t, OK? I would not be able to live with myself if anything ever happened to you.<\/p>\n<p>OK, look, Mom, don&#8217;t you get it, OK? I&#8217;m a grown man. I can take care of myself. I see that you&#8217;re in trouble, and I want to protect you.<\/p>\n<p>And I love you for that, Tripp. OK? But you gotta let this go.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Look, I know Ava&#8217;s got a dark past, and, yes, she keeps her guard up. But in the short time we were together, we&#8211;you know, we really connected. And then, when we were talking on the loading dock afterward, just the two of us, you know, it wasn&#8217;t&#8211; I mean, it wasn&#8217;t like a cop just questioning a suspect. It was&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Never mind. You don&#8217;t need to hear it.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, uh, I get it. Listen, I know that Ava&#8217;s been, um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music] Trying to turn over a new leaf for quite some time now, right? But given her past, that&#8217;s a lot to hope for. I&#8217;ll tell you, if one&#8217;s past is a predictor of how one&#8217;s going to behave in the future&#8230; Ava&#8217;s past says stay away.<\/p>\n<p>[Brady sighs]<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s gotta to be something we can do, Brady. I mean, we can&#8217;t just sit here and hope to hear something, you know? We gotta be out there, like, looking for her.<\/p>\n<p>What if she comes home?<\/p>\n<p>I guess that&#8217;s a possibility. Um&#8230; fine, I&#8217;ll stay here&#8211; you gotta go look for her. You have more experience knowing where the hell she might be.<\/p>\n<p>[Brady sighs]<\/p>\n<p>All right, all right, all right. I have some ideas, but I still think it&#8217;s going to be a wild goose chase.<\/p>\n<p>[Alex sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[phone ringing] Wait, hold on. It&#8217;s Jada. Hey, any news?<\/p>\n<p>I found Theresa.<\/p>\n<p>She found her.<\/p>\n<p>Where is she?<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s at the Prairie Motel.<\/p>\n<p>OK, we&#8217;ll be right there.<\/p>\n<p>And, Brady&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[Jada sighs] She&#8217;s high as a kite.<\/p>\n<p>[somber dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>OK, I&#8217;m back.<\/p>\n<p>You were gone for forever!<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah, I know. Close your eyes.<\/p>\n<p>What? Why do I have to close my eyes?<\/p>\n<p>&#8217;cause you said you wanted a surprise. Now close them.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] OK. All right, my eyes are closed.<\/p>\n<p>Keep them closed.<\/p>\n<p>Huh. Closed.<\/p>\n<p>No peeking.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not peeking.<\/p>\n<p>OK, you can open them.<\/p>\n<p>[romantic music] Chanel Dupree&#8230; I love you with all my heart. And I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet to have you in my life. You deserve the world, and I intend to give it to you because you are my world. So will you marry me?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Look, I know that Ava&#8217;s past is shady, but I&#8217;m convinced that she was trying to walk the straight and narrow. And everything took a sharp turn when she got into bed with Stefan.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Literally.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music] And she got in over her head.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Are you in over yourhead?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8211;what does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>It means you&#8217;re a police detective. You are investigating a drug ring which is crippling our city, and yet, you are in love with one of the prime suspects.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t say anything about love.<\/p>\n<p>OK, OK. So maybe you&#8217;re just having a hard time being objective when it comes to Ava, so maybe I should just appoint Jada to this investigation.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not&#8211;no, that&#8217;s not necessary, seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Really?<\/p>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Are you sure? OK, because as your boss and as commissioner, are you a % sure that there is going to be no bias in handling this case?<\/p>\n<p>[Harris sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Wendy, please, will you talk some sense into him? Tell him to stay away from this.<\/p>\n<p>Who are you so worried about? Who do you think you need to protect me from?<\/p>\n<p>Harris was the one who raided the bistro tonight with his stormtroopers, OK?<\/p>\n<p>Harris?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. And, obviously, he was way off base, because otherwise I wouldn&#8217;t be here with the two of you. I would be locked up in some jail cell somewhere, OK? But, like, Stefan says that he thinks he did it because I dumped him.<\/p>\n<p>No, I don&#8217;t believe that for a second. Harris wouldn&#8217;t have raided the bistro if he didn&#8217;t have a damn good reason to, OK? Just&#8211;you know, I&#8217;m going to call him. I&#8217;ll just&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, no. Tripp, no.<\/p>\n<p>But, Ava, if you&#8217;re in trouble, the police can help.<\/p>\n<p>No. No, they can&#8217;t. Listen to me, both of you. We cannot go to the police.<\/p>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Hey. Oh, my God, Theresa. Hey. Hey, it&#8217;s me. It&#8217;s Alex. Hey, you&#8217;re going to be OK. I&#8217;m here.<\/p>\n<p>Her pupils are as big as saucers. She was pretty euphoric before you got here.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t find any cocaine paraphernalia.<\/p>\n<p>[Brady sighs] I&#8217;m guessing ecstasy.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, OK. Theresa. Theresa. Theresa, look at me. Look at me. It&#8217;s Brady. It&#8217;s Brady and Alex. We&#8217;re both here, OK? We&#8217;re here to help you and we&#8217;re gonna get you out of here.<\/p>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Hi.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s you.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>What are you doing here?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m here. I&#8217;m here to help you, OK?<\/p>\n<p>[Theresa sighs]<\/p>\n<p>You, too?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Cool. We&#8217;re together. Let&#8217;s just party.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no. We&#8217;re not gonna&#8211; party time is over, OK?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re going to go for a ride in the car, all right?<\/p>\n<p>She needs some help.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no. No. No, I don&#8217;t need any help.<\/p>\n<p>Yes. Yeah, you do. Hey, can you&#8211;I want you to put your arm&#8211; lookit&#8211;take this arm. Put it around me, OK?<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>Put it around me. There you go. Yeah, let&#8217;s dance. Come on. It&#8217;s OK.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you know what, Brady? You used to be so fun. Now you&#8217;re just really boring.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>You, too. You&#8217;re just&#8211; you&#8217;re kind of boring now, too.<\/p>\n<p>All right. We&#8217;re going to get you home, OK? We&#8217;re going home.<\/p>\n<p>No, no. Are you kidding me? Home? No, she needs to go to the hospital or detox or&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>No. Hospital? No, no, no! No, fellas, that&#8217;s not going to happen. I just want to party! Get me out of here.<\/p>\n<p>[groans]<\/p>\n<p>Theresa, Theresa&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[Theresa groans] Theresa?<\/p>\n<p>You know what? I&#8217;m feeling really happy right now. For the first time, I&#8217;m really happy. Can you just let me be happy? Can you just let me be happy, please? Don&#8217;t ruin it.<\/p>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>[breathlessly] I&#8217;m so happy right now.<\/p>\n<p>[ominous music]<\/p>\n<p>Come on. Don&#8217;t you want me to be happy, Brady? Why do you want to rain on my parade? I wouldn&#8217;t rain on yourparade.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, no one&#8217;s raining on&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Take it easy. Give her some water, will ya? It&#8217;s OK. Hey.<\/p>\n<p>[ominous music] Relax.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Theresa.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>How are you feeling now?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God, I feel so good. I feel so amazing. I mean, isn&#8217;t that so great, how amazing I feel? I just feel kind of&#8211; I feel kind of hot.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re hot? Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m feeling kind of hot and dizzy.<\/p>\n<p>OK, OK. Yeah, I know you are. Let&#8217;s get you up a little bit. Come on, come on, come on. Sit up. There you go. There you go.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really hot.<\/p>\n<p>Listen. Hey, hey. I want you to breathe with me, OK? Breathe. Go in. Breathe it out. Breathe. That&#8217;s good. Atta girl. Atta girl. Keep breathing. Alex, you got that water?<\/p>\n<p>Got it.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, man. Theresa? Theresa, drink this, please.<\/p>\n<p>I still think we should take her to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, no. She&#8217;s not overdosing. She&#8217;s just high.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, he&#8217;s right. Her breathing seems pretty solid, and she has a good level of consciousness. I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any connection to the tainted drugs that we&#8217;ve been dealing with, because we would know that by now.<\/p>\n<p>Thank God. That&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>[Theresa burps]<\/p>\n<p>You all right?<\/p>\n<p>You know you guys worrying is a total waste of time because everything&#8217;s going to be fine.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be fine.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be fine.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, you know what we&#8217;re going to do? We&#8217;re going to go for that car ride now, OK? Come on. It&#8217;ll be fun. We&#8217;ll go for a car ride, and we&#8217;re going to get you out of here. Jada, we need to keep this on the down low, OK?<\/p>\n<p>[Theresa giggles]<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, seriously. After everything she went through with Tate, if this gets out, it&#8217;ll kill her.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God. Come on, you are so dramatic.<\/p>\n<p>Whoa, whoa. Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Kill me? I&#8217;m fine. I can handle anything.<\/p>\n<p>Look, it&#8217;s not me that you have to worry about. You&#8217;re about to take her out in public. It&#8217;s pretty late, but still.<\/p>\n<p>I know.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, you&#8217;re right. It&#8217;s a little too risky. And we definitely can&#8217;t go back to the apartment right now.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Why not?<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because the college kids down the hall, they&#8217;re going to be up all night, and Miss Kravitz&#8217;s little geriatric dog goes out to pee every two hours.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Oh, my God! That dog is so ancient.<\/p>\n<p>I know.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it is.<\/p>\n<p>So now what?<\/p>\n<p>Now what? We&#8211;we have no choice. We&#8217;re going to be here for the night.<\/p>\n<p>[Alex sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I care about Ava, but not to the detriment of my commitment to this case or my professional integrity. I swear to that, Commissioner.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Good. Good. And for what it&#8217;s worth, I&#8217;m, uh&#8230; I&#8217;m sorry things didn&#8217;t work out between the two of you.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>And also, I have certainly had my fair share of failed relationships, and right now, I&#8217;m feeling lucky I got this one, you know. So don&#8217;t give up. It&#8217;ll, uh, work out, and it gets easier.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>[Harris sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Why not? Why can&#8217;t we go to the police?<\/p>\n<p>Because one thing I know for sure is that the cops can be more corrupt than the rest of us. You cannot trust them.<\/p>\n<p>What about Harris? Don&#8217;t you trust him?<\/p>\n<p>After tonight? Hell no. And after tonight, I did not come home to be interrogated again. Finito!<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] This was your idea of a formalproposal?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I am wearing a tie.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Yeah. I&#8217;ll give you that.<\/p>\n<p>So? What do you say?<\/p>\n<p>I say, yes, Johnny DiMera.<\/p>\n<p>Yes?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I will marry you.<\/p>\n<p>Yes. OK, all right. Oh, my gosh.<\/p>\n<p>[both chuckle]<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel chuckles] OK, now this is only temporary, OK?<\/p>\n<p>OK. What is it?<\/p>\n<p>This is an Italian signet ring. My grandfather got it for me for my high school graduation. See, the face is an ancient Roman coin.<\/p>\n<p>[soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Wow. That is so cool.<\/p>\n<p>But, like I said, it&#8217;s only temporary.<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Let me guess. The, um, engagement ring was one of your ducks that you hadn&#8217;t gotten in a row yet.<\/p>\n<p>That is correct. But do not worry. You will have a very formal diamond ring on your finger very soon, I promise.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I will cherish this one forever. But I still do expect a big, fat rock really soon, mister.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>And another kiss, right now.<\/p>\n<p>OK, fine.<\/p>\n<p>[both chuckle]<\/p>\n<p>And hey.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm?<\/p>\n<p>What happened to my midnight snack?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, damn. I left a hot fudge sundae melting on the counter.<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel laughs] I&#8217;m going to be right back. OK.<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel gasps excitedly]<\/p>\n<p>Mm! Oh, Johnny.<\/p>\n<p>Mm?<\/p>\n<p>Tonight has been so romantic and so perfect. And I loved your idea of a formal proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that is a relief, because I was worried it wasn&#8217;t going to be formal enough. I thought I was going to have to run down the hall and get my dad&#8217;s top hat.<\/p>\n<p>Your dad has a top hat?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah, he does.<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel chuckles] He never wears it, but, uh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[posh British accent] As an upper-class Brit, he keeps it as a sign of his poshness.<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel laughs]<\/p>\n<p>[posh British accent] Oh, but, of course, darling.<\/p>\n<p>I love you so much, my future wife. And I can&#8217;t wait to be your husband again.<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel laughs]<\/p>\n<p>And I can&#8217;t wait to be your wife again.<\/p>\n<p>[Johnny chuckles] And you know what I was thinking? Maybe&#8230; we could get in a little practice for our wedding night.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, now that is an excellent idea.<\/p>\n<p>[Chanel laughs]<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s looking, like, really sleepy.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. That&#8217;s normal.<\/p>\n<p>[somber music] Well, if anything weird happens, we&#8217;ll call like you promised.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah, absolutely. We&#8217;ll call if anything happens.<\/p>\n<p>OK. How long does this stuff last?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t&#8211; I don&#8217;t know what she took and how long ago she took it. So best guess, it&#8217;s going to take a couple hours to get this out of her system, so&#8230; we&#8217;re going to have to ride this one out.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think that we have done all that we can do for tonight. We&#8217;ll jump back in tomorrow with some fresh eyes, all right?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that sounds good. It&#8217;s been a frustrating day all the way around.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah? Well, sometimes our searches go south. Happens to the best of us. But we will get to the bottom of it. And, hey, I&#8217;m sorry if, um&#8230; I know I said your feelings for Ava could potentially undermine your objectivity in this investigation. I appreciate your commitment to it.<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Damn it, Wendy. I have to help her.<\/p>\n<p>No, Tripp. We have to help her.<\/p>\n<p>No. No, this is too dangerous. I don&#8217;t want you involved, OK? And with all my mom&#8217;s bravado, she&#8217;s scared. And that woman does not scare easily.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, on a much lighter note, I found the Jenga piece in my suitcase.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Just wanted to make sure you knew you were taking a piece of me with you.<\/p>\n<p>But I didn&#8217;t go. I&#8217;m here, Tripp. And just like that game tower, we&#8217;re stronger with all our pieces in place. So whatever the danger, we&#8217;re in this together.<\/p>\n<p>[dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>[somber music]<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>[romantic jazz music playing on speakers]<\/p>\n<p>[Harris sighs]<\/p>\n<p>May I have this dance?<\/p>\n<p>You may.<\/p>\n<p>[music fades]<\/p>\n<p>[tense music]<\/p>\n<p>[Harris sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[somber music] I felt the good in you&#8230; the loving, caring person that you are.
