John, are you home? [mysterious music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[phone beeps] [phone rings] [phone beeps]<\/p>\n<p>Hey, Doc. Where are you?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m home. Where are you?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m down at the square. I couldn&#8217;t sleep, so I thought I&#8217;d take a walk.<\/p>\n<p>Are you on your way back?<\/p>\n<p>Not yet. Sorry, I didn&#8217;t realize it was so late.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Darling, are you OK? Shall I pick you up?<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, no. You&#8217;ve had a long day. Why don&#8217;t you go to bed? I&#8217;ll be home soon, honey. I love you.<\/p>\n<p>I love you. [phone beeps]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[phone beeps]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[door clicks open]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Hey.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Did you not take the shortcut?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I got caught at the light at the corner. I didn&#8217;t know we were in a race to get home.<\/p>\n<p>No race. It&#8217;s just that you drive a lot faster than me, and I was just wondering where you were.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. [dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>I was also wondering what you were doing at the hospital. You seemed kind of mysterious when we ran into each other.<\/p>\n<p>Mysterious?<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t mean to be. I was actually just seeing my therapist.<\/p>\n<p>At this hour?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Dr. Evans. She&#8217;s just really good about accommodating my schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Marlena is your shrink?<\/p>\n<p>I see her from time to time, yeah. What were you doing at the hospital?<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat] My mom sent me over to go talk to Aunt Kayla. Actually, now that I think about it, it was kind of like a therapy session, too, but free.<\/p>\n<p>Nice. What&#8217;d you talk to Auntie about?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;d you talk to Dr. Evans about?<\/p>\n<p>I asked you first.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So you have a confession. Does it have anything to do with you being a no-show at the pub tonight?<\/p>\n<p>Well, actually, I did go to the pub tonight. I saw you there with your friends.<\/p>\n<p>Why didn&#8217;t you come in?<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Because I guess I realized&#8230; [clears throat] What I needed to say to you, I need to say it privately.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>How the hell does a prison lose a prisoner?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re gonna find out. I&#8217;ll make some calls, get some coffee started.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to need something a lot stronger than coffee. What the hell?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK, you stay right here. I&#8217;m gonna go around back, surprise whoever the hell broke in.<\/p>\n<p>No, you can&#8217;t do that. What if they have a weapon? Absolutely not. I&#8217;m just gonna&#8211; I&#8217;m gonna call the police. [dramatic music] What the hell? That&#8217;s Harris.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What is going on? Lucas is missing. And if you don&#8217;t know where he is, you better find him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know what?<\/p>\n<p>Huh?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m all talked out. So why don&#8217;t we call a moratorium on talking about all the feelings and the goals and the regrets and all that heavy stuff, you know, and why don&#8217;t we&#8211; why don&#8217;t we do something really mindless and distracting?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m all for mindless and distracting. What&#8217;d you have in mind? You want to watch a movie?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Yeah, unless it&#8217;s on the big screen and I have a giant tub of popcorn, no, I&#8217;m not really in the mood.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. How about a game?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I got &#8220;Monopoly&#8221; and &#8220;Scrabble&#8221; and &#8220;Cards of Humanity&#8221; in the closet, if you want.<\/p>\n<p>OK. I have a better idea.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>And I dare you not to like it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ooh.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you want to tell me, Everett?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] This&#8211; this is harder than I thought it was gonna be, I guess because&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Because?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>It just feels like a big risk.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re starting to scare me.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m scaring myself a little bit. But I have to do it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sorry.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Look, working with you has been amazing, right? Amazing. You&#8217;re so gifted at what you do, you know? And we&#8217;re obviously&#8211; we&#8217;re compatible as coworkers.<\/p>\n<p>I agree.<\/p>\n<p>And I totally respect the boundaries that you set with me from the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>But I can&#8217;t stand it.<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t stand what?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This friend-zone thing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>It&#8217;s not working for me anymore.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>John. Hey, John!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What are you doing, man? You out for a late-night stroll?<\/p>\n<p>Something like that. What are you doing here?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Kayla is working the late shift. I got restless. I thought some night air would do me some good.<\/p>\n<p>No, I don&#8217;t think so. Marlena told you to come looking for me, didn&#8217;t she?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs] Busted. She&#8217;s worried about you, man. And so am I.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know, in our previous lives, when we used to meet in the shadows, we were usually on assignment and not always on the same side. [dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve been told.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I think the right side prevailed on most of those missions, thankfully.<\/p>\n<p>Again, so I&#8217;ve been told.<\/p>\n<p>And you&#8217;re telling me that you still don&#8217;t remember anything from that time? You have no memories at all?<\/p>\n<p>Come on, partner. Why do you keep asking me that? You know as well as I do, those memories have been wiped. [both sigh] Listen, I really try not to make myself crazy struggling to get them back or trying to fill in those blanks.<\/p>\n<p>I know. I know that must be frustrating as hell. But I got to say, I envy you.<\/p>\n<p>And why would that be?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I wish I could forget.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK. So truth or dare, you know, the rules are really simple. We ask each other questions, and we have to answer honestly.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230; if somebody decides they don&#8217;t want to tell the truth, they have to say&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Dare, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Dare, yes. And then that person is given a task or an action to which they must comply. And if we play the game properly, that task should be a little bit embarrassing, you know, to make the person squirm and blush and feel like a total idiot.<\/p>\n<p>OK, I got it I. I&#8211;actually, making people squirm or feel idiotic is very high on my list of worthwhile activities, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oh-ho. Me too.<\/p>\n<p>I know.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I think this is gonna be a really good game for us. And plus, it can lead to some really enlightening conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, see, I&#8217;m also all for lightning&#8211; lightning? Enlightening conversations. So who&#8217;s going first?<\/p>\n<p>I will.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>All right. [sighs] [both chuckle]<\/p>\n<p>Alex Kiriakis&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>Who was your first celebrity crush?<\/p>\n<p>Easy. Lindsay Lohan. I watched &#8220;Mean Girls,&#8221; like, , times. I would literally delude myself to think that I would actually, like, get a date with her and then eventually marry her and have, like, a family.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Truly.<\/p>\n<p>Wow, that is some crush.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Pretty painful crush, to be honest, because eventually I realized that Lindsay is just unattainable.<\/p>\n<p>Uh-huh. Right, I can imagine that was really painful. I&#8217;m so sorry. You see, this is where it gets enlightening, because now I know that you liked &#8220;Mean Girls&#8221; right from the start.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I mean, what are you doing here anyway? Because Lucas is missing. He&#8217;s missing from prison. And if anything has happened to him, that&#8217;s on you. Do you understand me? Where is my son?<\/p>\n<p>Harris, you owe my wife an explanation. If you don&#8217;t have one, you better damn well have a plan to find Lucas now.<\/p>\n<p>If you just give me a minute, I will provide you with more than an explanation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[scoffs]<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a relief. I&#8217;ve been having this running monologue in my head for so long that getting it out there feels&#8211; But judging from your face&#8211; are you upset?<\/p>\n<p>Not upset. I just&#8211;I don&#8217;t know what to say.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Well, at the risk of making an even bigger fool of myself than I already have, I will just say that&#8230; Steph, you&#8217;re the best thing that ever happened to me. And when you&#8217;re near me, my world feels right. I came to Salem to find you because&#8230; I can&#8217;t live without you. And I would give anything, anything, to get back to what we had.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Still don&#8217;t know what to say?<\/p>\n<p>I just&#8211; well, I&#8217;m sure you can understand that I wasn&#8217;t expecting this. [dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>Really? Not at all?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I just feel like&#8230; [chuckles] I&#8217;ve been so obvious about my feelings for you.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. And I think I&#8217;ve been clear about mine.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. You have been. Sort of. I mean, you have, and you haven&#8217;t. Like, I totally understand that you want to stay friends right now because you&#8217;re still recovering from your breakup with Chad, but at the same time, it seems like you like spending time with me. I mean, you asked me to meet your parents. You just tonight asked me to come meet you and your friends at the Brady Pub.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah, I did, because I wanted them to meet you. And I&#8217;ve been talking about you mostly in the context of us working together, but&#8230; Everett, my feelings for you are complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>When you disappeared&#8211; and, yes, I know now that you were in an accident, but I didn&#8217;t know it then. And so I was heartbroken. Shattered, really. And when I was able to heal at least somewhat from that hurt, I was determined to move on with my life, to get over you.<\/p>\n<p>And did you? Did you&#8230; stop loving me? And now that I&#8217;m back and you know that I never left you by choice, are those feelings just gone?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I was gonna ask you to marry me, Steph.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You were everything to me. You still are. Some people wait their entire lives to find what we had. And now we&#8217;ve been given a second chance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m begging you not to throw it away.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK. My turn.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>What would be&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>The worst thing you could possibly do if you would never get caught? No consequences whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>I would break Tate out of that awful rehab juvie place and I would bring him home immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. OK, yeah. I should have guessed that&#8217;s what you&#8217;d answer.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>God, how I wish I could really do that and there would be no consequences.<\/p>\n<p>I know.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>OK. It&#8217;s OK. [clears throat] All right, moving on. Let&#8217;s see. My turn.<\/p>\n<p>Your turn.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Who is&#8230; the most&#8230; beautiful, interesting, witty, charming, sexy woman that you have ever kissed?<\/p>\n<p>Ah. [smacks lips] Dare.<\/p>\n<p>Ho-ho.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>OK. All right, but you&#8217;re gonna be sorry. Because I dare you to kiss that beautiful, interesting, witty, sexy, charming woman who&#8217;s staring at you right now.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sorry at all.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What are you talking about? What do you wish that you could forget?<\/p>\n<p>I think the same things that everyone wishes they could wipe from their memories, the bad stuff.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For me? About working for Victor back in the day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And those memories, they just won&#8217;t let go, especially lately, when I&#8217;m anywhere in the vicinity of one Konstantin Meleounis.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Why, because of his association with Victor?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. And maybe because he reminds me of Victor&#8230;at times.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Me too. At times.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah? So I guess this is bringing back stuff for both of us now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know, I think about Abe and how he&#8217;s lost his memory of the past. And I know that&#8217;s obviously really tough. But I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s worse not being able to remember or not being able to forget.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I think this will answer all of your questions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hey, Ma.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Oh, my God. Lucas.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Easy, easy, easy.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I&#8217;m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Not so hard.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, sorry, sorry. I&#8217;m just so happy. I am so happy to see you alive and well.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m alive and healing.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Harris, what happened? How did you manage this?<\/p>\n<p>Well, under the cover of night and the laundry service, I was able to roll Lucas out of the infirmary in a linen basket. And when we got out of Statesville, we drove around for a couple hours, made multiple stops to make sure we weren&#8217;t followed. Now, look, nobody knows about this. Not even the commissioner knows that Lucas is here. So this has to stay between us. No one can find out.<\/p>\n<p>Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry it went down this way. I&#8217;m sorry that you have to harbor the man who kidnapped your daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas, I&#8217;m harboring my stepson, and I know my wife is very happy and relieved to have you here, OK, safe, protected. And that means I&#8217;m happy, too, for her and for you. You are welcome here anytime, Lucas. Anytime. [dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Everett, maybe you don&#8217;t understand what it was like for me when you walked out of my life.<\/p>\n<p>I mean&#8230; I think I have some idea.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure you do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You see, once I got over the shock of your disappearance, I tormented myself for months, trying to figure out what I did to make you leave. I blamed myself, thought it had to be because I got on your nerves or because I wasn&#8217;t enough for you, not smart enough, not witty enough, not charming enough, not good enough in bed.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my god, Steph&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, no, no. Don&#8217;t try to reassure me. I&#8217;m only trying to explain to you that&#8230; [sighs] I obviously know now that your leaving had nothing to do with me. I just&#8211;I&#8217;m only trying to explain that&#8230; [sighs] When I thought you&#8217;d ghosted me, I wasn&#8217;t just hurt. I fell apart. And I didn&#8217;t recover for a long time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why it was so&#8230;shattering. Maybe I&#8217;m just&#8230; not a resilient person. Maybe I&#8217;m constitutionally lacking in self-confidence. [sniffles] Prone to feeling like I&#8211; like I never measure up, like&#8211; like I&#8217;m always to blame when things go wrong.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m so glad&#8230; you&#8217;re finally opening up about all this, because it helps me understand, you know, the depth of the pain that you went through when I disappeared that day, albeit not by choice. But still, I need to say to you, I am so sorry that I hurt you, so sorry I hurt the most important person in my life, who I loved with all my heart, more than anything, and still do. All I want&#8211;all I want is to make it up to you. That&#8217;s all I want. Will you let me do that? Please?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>All right. What aren&#8217;t you telling me? Oh, come on, man, you&#8217;re talking around in circles here. What is really going on with you? I&#8217;m assuming it&#8217;s got something to do with Konstantin.<\/p>\n<p>It does. I&#8217;m becoming more and more certain that somehow&#8230; I don&#8217;t know how, but somehow he knows about The Pawn.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What? No, no. No. How is that even possible?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what we need to find out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Oh, The Pawn. My God, partner, I haven&#8217;t even heard anybody speak those words for years here.<\/p>\n<p>I know.<\/p>\n<p>How could he even know that? How much does he know, then?<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea.<\/p>\n<p>What did he say to you that led you to believe that?<\/p>\n<p>He asked me what I knew about The Pawn. But he had this look on his face like he was an expert on the subject. He was taunting me, John.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God. All right, all right, all right. All right. We&#8217;re just gonna have to&#8211; we&#8217;re just gonna have to figure out how much he knows and exactly what his MO is here.<\/p>\n<p>Yes. That&#8217;s what we need to do, and we will. But, buddy, we have to be strategic.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>We have to be very careful. Now, listen. Hey. I can see this really upset you, understandably. So you need to go home to Marlena and rest. Hey, we&#8217;ll sleep on this, OK?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, right, we&#8217;re gonna sleep. [inhales deeply] But thanks for coming here. I am going home to Doc &#8217;cause I know she&#8217;s worried about this.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I want you to take care of yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. You too, partner. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Mm, mm, mm. Nice distraction. Mm. But it&#8217;s my turn.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>OK? And I&#8217;m gonna step my game up. This is gonna be a tough question, OK?<\/p>\n<p>Ooh, you&#8217;re scaring me.<\/p>\n<p>Well that&#8217;s the point, isn&#8217;t it? We already established that.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Go on, then. Hit me with your really scary question.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Theresa Donovan, what is the biggest lie you have ever told?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Wow, you&#8217;re giving this one a lot of thought. [chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Dare.<\/p>\n<p>OK, that is a hell of a lie if you&#8217;re not even gonna tell me about it.<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just that, you know, I&#8217;ve told a lot of lies, even white ones. So I&#8217;d really just rather not get into it. [clears throat]<\/p>\n<p>OK. All right. I&#8217;ll let it slide. Fine. So dare, huh? I dare you&#8230; to sing&#8230; your favorite childhood song at the top of your damn lungs right now.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. I can do that. You ready?<\/p>\n<p>Mm?<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat]<\/p>\n<p>Am I gonna need earplugs?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I don&#8217;t know. I think you can handle it.<\/p>\n<p>All right.<\/p>\n<p>OK, here goes. [clears throat] [laughs]<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>OK, ready?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m ready.<\/p>\n<p>* Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream * * Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily * * Life is but a dream *<\/p>\n<p>OK, we&#8217;re turning the volume up right now. It&#8217;s a duet. Let&#8217;s go.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, really? What a gentleman.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>OK, ready? One, two, three. both: * Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream * * Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily * * Life is but a dream * [banging on wall]<\/p>\n<p>[shushing]<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no. Oh, God.<\/p>\n<p>That is Mrs. Campbell. That is the grumpiest lady alive next door.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, Mrs. Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>OK, all right. OK. Yeah, that might be enough singing for tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe at least just not on the top of our lungs, at least.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I think that&#8217;s our cue. I think that&#8217;s the end. Maybe we should just, like, call it a night, go to bed. [dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Everett, before we talk about the future and since we&#8217;re both opening up about what it was like for us after your accident, in the time that we were apart, what I don&#8217;t understand is why nobody went looking for you, why your family and colleagues didn&#8217;t send out a search party when you went missing.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I mean, I didn&#8217;t understand that either&#8230; at first. But from what I was able to understand once I was mostly recovered, I wasn&#8217;t on any assignments at the time, so&#8230; when I didn&#8217;t respond to emails or phone calls, I think&#8211; I think my boss just must have figured I&#8217;d&#8211; I&#8217;d moved on.<\/p>\n<p>OK, but what about your family? They didn&#8217;t try to find you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well&#8230; I lost my mom when I was a kid, as you know, and&#8230; my dad is my dad. He&#8217;s a&#8211;he&#8217;s a drunk, you know.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. No, yeah, I know. I understand why your family didn&#8217;t try to find you. I shouldn&#8217;t have asked.<\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s&#8211;it&#8217;s a reasonable question, you know. And family could mean cousins, aunts, uncles, you know, but I&#8217;m&#8211; I&#8217;m not that close with them. You know, they&#8217;re on the East Coast and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Right. Well, it all makes sense.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Another thing I was wondering is, when you finally woke up from that coma, were you as lucid as you are now?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>No. I wasn&#8217;t. I mean, my first diagnosis was retrograde amnesia, which is&#8230; inability to access memories or information from before an accident or an injury or a disease.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So, you know, all they could tell me was to&#8211; to give it time. Give it time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I was really lucky, you know? Eventually my memories did start to come back.<\/p>\n<p>Gradually? All at once?<\/p>\n<p>Gradually.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The first thing that I remember with any clarity&#8230; was you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And when that happened, when I saw you in my mind&#8217;s eye&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>my whole world got brighter, warmer, and I felt stronger, more resilient because&#8230; I had purpose. And that was to get back to you. That was my goal. My only goal was to get back to you and tell you that you&#8217;re everything to me, everything.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You still are.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs] [keys jingling]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hey, Doc. What are you doing up?<\/p>\n<p>Waiting for you.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Did you think I could go to sleep knowing that my husband was out there late at night, alone?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Doc, I wasn&#8217;t alone.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know I wasn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know, when Harris told me that he couldn&#8217;t make the deal to get you out of prison, I mean, I really panicked. Now you&#8217;re here. You&#8217;re here, safe and sound.<\/p>\n<p>I thought transport was part of the deal. Was it some kind of ruse? Did you&#8211;what, did you kidnap me, Detective Michaels?<\/p>\n<p>No, but I would have if I had to.<\/p>\n<p>Well, what exactly did you do?<\/p>\n<p>I called in every favor that I had. I kept pressuring the state attorney general. I kept reminding him how important it was to have our main witness alive if we were ever gonna bring a case against Clyde Weston. And then finally, the AG saw the light, signed off on the order to have Lucas in a safe-house situation. But when the threat&#8217;s eliminated, Lucas will have to return to Statesville to serve the rest of his sentence.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK, then. I guess we&#8217;ll just be happy with what we have now, then.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I guess we have to be happy. We have no choice, do we?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll leave you guys alone.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thank you for the game. That was fun. [laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it was fun.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>OK, well, I&#8217;ll see you in the morning, then.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll see me in the morning? [dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>I just think that maybe we should get a good night&#8217;s sleep.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK. Yeah. If that&#8217;s what you want to do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>Sweet dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Good night.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>God, who am I kidding?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>There you go.<\/p>\n<p>Ow, ow, ow.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. You comfortable? Can I get you anything else?<\/p>\n<p>No. No, I&#8217;m fine. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>OK.<\/p>\n<p>Feels so good to be here. Even though I know it&#8217;s just temporary, I really appreciate it, so&#8211; I know it&#8217;s not easy for you, Roman.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas, come on. I told you before. You are my wife&#8217;s son, all right? So you&#8217;re family, all right? And I want what&#8217;s best for you. And what you did to help end this drug epidemic in Salem is honorable and brave. You put your life on the line, Lucas. I admire you for that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Look, it&#8217;s been a long night, and you should get some sleep, OK?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>All right. I love you.<\/p>\n<p>I love you. Good night.<\/p>\n<p>Good night, honey.<\/p>\n<p>[grunts] [exhales sharply]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hey, Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Steve, what are you doing out here so late?<\/p>\n<p>Kayla&#8217;s on the late shift, and I got restless.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Same. I&#8217;ve been pretty restless lately too.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, we both have jobs that can weigh heavily on the mind sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>Ain&#8217;t that the truth?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Do you want to unburden?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know, thanks, but not now. Maybe some other time.<\/p>\n<p>All right. Good night.<\/p>\n<p>Good night.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So you&#8217;re not upset that I sent Steve to find you?<\/p>\n<p>No, not at all. In fact, he and I, we&#8211; we had a good talk.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad. I know that we can talk about anything at all, but I&#8217;m especially glad that you have someone with whom you can share your concerns, someone with whom you&#8217;ve been in the trenches.<\/p>\n<p>That is true. And you know what else is true?<\/p>\n<p>Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>You always seem to know exactly what I need, and that makes me a very lucky man.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I just love you.<\/p>\n<p>I love you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Come on. Let&#8217;s hit the sack.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;ve missed you. I&#8217;ve missed us.<\/p>\n<p>Me too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stay. Stay here tonight.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I can&#8217;t. Everett, I&#8211; I&#8217;m not ready.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I understand. I just&#8211; I just want to hold you in my arms.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I just want to sleep with you in my arms tonight, that&#8217;s all.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>That would be nice.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[both chuckle]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs]<\/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!
