Well, if you&#8217;re considering Melinda Trask for the position, rumor is she&#8217;s long gone. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[suspenseful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Long gone? Where? Someone like Melinda doesn&#8217;t just disappear.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d have to agree. The woman is hardly one to keep a low profile.<\/p>\n<p>Huh. That&#8217;s putting it mildly. Well, I&#8217;ve got a lot of people working for me, so we&#8217;ll track her down, wherever she is.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>[knock at door]<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Viniski, it&#8217;s Commissioner Hunter. I&#8217;d like to ask you a few questions. Last time I was here, I just had to apply a little pressure. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[suspenseful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ms. Viniski, are you home?<\/p>\n<p>Is that blood?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Yeah, it is. Put in a call to CSU.<\/p>\n<p>[Jada sighs] My God. Whose blood is this?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Look, right now, you are mad as hell at Gabi. She&#8217;s mad as hell at you. But as much as you say there is no chance of you two getting back together again&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>There isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, come on. You two love each other. There&#8217;s always a chance. And you having me work for you at the Bistro? Not gonna help.<\/p>\n<p>OK, I&#8217;m going to repeat this one more time, so maybe it&#8217;ll resonate. Yes, I am mad as hell, but not just that. I am appalled. I am disgusted that my wife would sleep with my brother more than once. And to me, that&#8217;s a deal-breaker, all right? As far as I&#8217;m concerned, Gabi can rot.<\/p>\n<p>What are you talking about? Why would Rafe point the finger at you?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, did I forget to mention? I&#8217;m the one who stabbed your brother. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[siren wailing]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Ah, come on, Gabi, call me back.<\/p>\n<p>[door opens]<\/p>\n<p>Hey, Hernandez.<\/p>\n<p>Roman, hey.<\/p>\n<p>About time you woke up. Although you don&#8217;t seem too happy about it. Something wrong?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry. It&#8217;s great to see you. It&#8217;s just&#8230; I&#8217;m worried about Gabi. Jada and I, uh&#8230; <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[ominous music]<\/i> We think her new assistant might be dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>What do you mean by dangerous? And who is this person?<\/p>\n<p>Well, her name is Connie Viniski.

Everett is the one that attacked Rafe.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s what everyone thinks, that Everett&#8217;s brain broke for good. Of course, I know him as Bobby Stein.<\/p>\n<p>You knew Jada&#8217;s ex, the alter?<\/p>\n<p>Well, of course I know him. Why else would I try to take out your brother? Bobby asked me to do it.<\/p>\n<p>What? Why?<\/p>\n<p>Come on, Gabi. You&#8217;re a smart cookie. You can figure it out. With Rafe out of the way, Bobby had a clear path to Jada Hunter, his beloved ex.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[whispering] Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[soft orchestration]<\/i> <i>announcer: Like sands<\/i> <i>through the hourglass,<\/i> <i>so are<\/i> <i>the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[suspenseful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I thought it was Everett Lynch who tried to kill you. Isn&#8217;t that why he took his own life?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it turns out that Everett Lynch&#8217;s death may not have been a suicide.<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;re thinking it&#8217;s this Connie Viniski?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re trying to find out. Jada&#8217;s trying to track her down right now. And in the meantime, I need to warn Gabi to stay the hell away from her.<\/p>\n<p>OK. I assume you tried to call her.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I have tried to call her. I&#8217;ve left her a voicemail. She&#8217;s not answering my texts, so I need to find her now!<\/p>\n<p>Hey. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[tense somber music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>You tried to kill Rafe for Bobby?<\/p>\n<p>I know it sounds a bit extreme, but I don&#8217;t blame him for wanting another chance with Jada. He thought of her as the love of his life. I&#8217;m a romantic myself.<\/p>\n<p>Except she and Bobby just weren&#8217;t meant to be, as it turned out.<\/p>\n<p>No, they were not. Such a tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>So Bobby Everett&#8217;s death?<\/p>\n<p>I had no choice. He said he was going to expose me for stabbing the commish. I could not let him threaten me like that.<\/p>\n<p>So you killed him and made it look like a suicide?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re asking a lot of questions.<\/p>\n<p>No, no. I just&#8211; as someone that&#8217;s done a lot of crazy things in the name of love, I have to admit I&#8217;m impressed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[laid-back music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Gabi made her choice, I made mine.<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;re telling me if Gabi came through that door and she told you how sorry she was, that she loves you, she still wants you back&#8230; you would not find it in your heart to forgive her?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m telling you.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, come on. You wouldn&#8217;t be tempted? You wouldn&#8217;t be tempted just to give it another go? She is your wife. And like I said, the two of you still love each other. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[phone rings]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] Speak of the devil.<\/p>\n<p>[Ava chuckles]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You gonna answer it? <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[phone ringing]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>No. She&#8217;s probably just calling to tell me that she and EJ have had mind-blowing sex again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I can see that you&#8217;ve made some difficult choices, Connie, but why would you do Bobby&#8217;s dirty work in the first place?<\/p>\n<p>I told you, I&#8217;m a romantic. I believe in love.<\/p>\n<p>OK, being a romantic is one thing. But stabbing the police commissioner, I mean, seems like a pretty big risk. You must have been getting something out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Well, sure, I was. Bobby made it clear if I didn&#8217;t do his dirty work for him, he&#8217;d rat me out.<\/p>\n<p>Rat you out? What did he have over you?<\/p>\n<p>Bobby knew I did something. Something I&#8217;m not proud of.<\/p>\n<p>What? What&#8211;what&#8211;what&#8211; what did you do?<\/p>\n<p>Why does it matter?<\/p>\n<p>Connie, come on. There&#8217;s no sense in keeping secrets from each other at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Bobby knew&#8230; that I killed Li Shin. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[ominous music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What the hell?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What the hell?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what I said.<\/p>\n<p>Is that Li Shin?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s the cardboard version.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Looks like our friend, Connie, was holding someone hostage.<\/p>\n<p>Probably not old Li here.<\/p>\n<p>No. Someone more three-dimensional.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Melinda Trask? Could she have been the one that was held here?<\/p>\n<p>But where is she now?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>That&#8217;s a good question.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I suspect that Melinda Trask has had her fill of Salem politics, so I doubt she would take the DA job, even if you could track her down.<\/p>\n<p>Then I&#8217;ll hire someone else.<\/p>\n<p>Whom you know damn well won&#8217;t be as competent as I am. I mean, isn&#8217;t that why you hired me back?<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] What are you talking about? You blackmailed me into it. Or have you forgotten about your pals in the CCS?<\/p>\n<p>The Concerned Citizens of Salem are merely doing their civic duty, looking out for the best interests of the town.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, right, by trying to get me recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it all worked out in the end, didn&#8217;t it? I got what I wanted, and you seem pretty comfortable in your position.<\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t mean I am not going to fire you. You stole a baby.<\/p>\n<p>Allegedly. And come on, is this any way to treat one of your in-laws?<\/p>\n<p>Ah, oh, come on, EJ. Are you really playing the family card?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m simply suggesting, considering the upheaval this would cause people that we both love, that we don&#8217;t act too hastily.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] While I agree we could both do without another scandal, if your brother goes public with what he knows about you, then not even I will be able to save your privileged, pompous ass. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>[EJ sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Ava, what are we doing waiting around here? Let&#8217;s go to the Bistro, grab a bottle of champagne, and celebrate your triumphant return as manager.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t accepted your offer.<\/p>\n<p>You will.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs and chuckles] You so sure about that?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Unless you want to stick around here and sling hash for a living.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an honest living.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly boring. And exhausting. Are you telling me you want to be on your feet all day walking around here like this for a couple of lousy bucks in tips? Come on, Ava. Take a chance and walk out that door.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m technically still on my shift.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles softly] I think the breakfast rush is over. It&#8217;s not like you&#8217;re leaving them high and dry.<\/p>\n<p>[Ava chuckles] Besides, didn&#8217;t you tell me that Roman gave you this job so you can make your rent money? You&#8217;re going to make a hell of a lot more rent money as manager of the Bistro, OK? And I think the rest of the waitstaff here would appreciate your share of the tip jar. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[soft upbeat music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Hey, Andrea. Take my tables, will ya?<\/p>\n<p>There you go. All right, come on. The future awaits.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>Yes?<\/p>\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Off we go.<\/p>\n<p>Ah.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I can&#8217;t let you out of this bed.<\/p>\n<p>Roman, I have to find Gabi!<\/p>\n<p>Rafe! You&#8217;re too weak! It&#8217;s not safe to leave this hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s not safe for my sister to be out there alone. I mean, this Connie woman is going after people that I love!<\/p>\n<p>Are you sure she&#8217;s going after Gabi?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it sure as hell is a possibility. I mean, this woman, she faked her entire r\u00e9sum\u00e9 to get the assistant job with my sister. And I&#8217;m telling you if Connie did this to me, who the hell knows what she&#8217;s going to do to my sister?<\/p>\n<p>OK, let me handle it.<\/p>\n<p>Roman.<\/p>\n<p>Hey! Not my first rodeo, kid. You stay here. You rest. I will track down Gabi and make sure Connie Viniski is not a threat. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You killed Li? Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t act like you&#8217;re all broken up about it. You hated the guy.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t mean I wanted him dead! Especially since I went to prison for killing him!<\/p>\n<p>I gotta say&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] That part of the plan couldn&#8217;t have worked out better.<\/p>\n<p>Wait. You framed me?<\/p>\n<p>Duh. Who do you think sent you a text from Li&#8217;s phone that night and lured you over to his apartment?<\/p>\n<p>That was you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I went to prison because of you?<\/p>\n<p>Hey! I didn&#8217;t tell you to pull a knife out of the guy&#8217;s back. I just laid the trap and you were stupid enough to fall into it and even stupider to fall into this one.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I want an APB on Connie Viniski. She should be considered armed and dangerous. Hang on. Let&#8217;s also put one out on Melinda Trask. Yes, the former DA. We&#8217;re considering her a missing person. All right. I&#8217;ll be in touch. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[suspenseful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Trask was officially on a leave of absence.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, but&#8230; what if Connie was the one that put in that message? Oh, my God, what if&#8211; what if Connie has been holding Melinda hostage this entire time?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well, how do you think this thing figured into it?<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea. But right now, my main concern is what Connie may have done to Melinda.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand. Why would you kill Li and frame me for it? I&#8211;I&#8211;I thought we got along great.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] That&#8217;s what I wanted you to think. But the truth is I hated you for the way you treated Li, the way you toyed with his emotions, and the way that you and Stefan just tortured him for months!<\/p>\n<p>Since when did you care about Li?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t care about him. I love him.<\/p>\n<p>Wh&#8211;what? Did you even know each other?<\/p>\n<p>Of course I knew him. I told you that that day I met you at the press conference, but you were probably too busy thinking about yourself to remember.<\/p>\n<p>[softly] The press conference.<\/p>\n<p>Li and I had the most magical blind date. Oh, and he charmed me with that smile. That smile could light up a room. And I knew from that moment that he and I were meant to be. And we would have been together forever if you hadn&#8217;t broken his heart. You made him think you cared about him, but you only cared about his DiMera shares. You tricked him! You humiliated him!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And after that, Li was too hurt to love again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So it&#8217;s my fault that he didn&#8217;t love you?<\/p>\n<p>Well, who else&#8217;s? And I tried to convince him&#8230; that you were not good enough for him and that I was the only one that could give him the love that he needed. But he could not let you go.<\/p>\n<p>So you stabbed him in the back?<\/p>\n<p>It was an accident.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, so you <i>accidentally<\/i> put a knife in his back?<\/p>\n<p>OK, so it wasn&#8217;t an accident, but it wasn&#8217;t my fault, either. <i>You<\/i>are the one that caused all of this. You ruined him.<\/p>\n<p>And you tried to ruin me in return.<\/p>\n<p>But somehow, you got out. You are here. And my precious Li is gone. It should have been you, Gabi! You&#8217;re the one who deserved to die!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Time to end this for good. And then Li and I can finally be together.<\/p>\n<p>[Gabi screams] <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>[Gabi panting]<\/p>\n<p>[grunts] You bitch.<\/p>\n<p>You know, it would be a terrible shame for the CCS to rear their ugly heads again and attempt another mayoral recall.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t respond well to threats.<\/p>\n<p>Well, who said anything about a threat?<\/p>\n<p>EJ, even if I were to consider keeping you on as DA, if your brother, Stefan, is determined to testify against you for babynapping, then make no mistake, I will fire you without a second thought.<\/p>\n<p>It won&#8217;t come to that, Mayor Price. I can handle my brother. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[suspenseful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ooh. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[laid-back music]<\/i> You know, it&#8217;s a little early for champagne, no?<\/p>\n<p>Think of it as a mimosa.

So what are we drinking to?<\/p>\n<p>To new beginnings for both of us. Welcome back to the Bistro.<\/p>\n<p>[glasses clink]<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I&#8217;m still not sure this is the best idea. Because once Gabi finds out that you hired me again?<\/p>\n<p>[Ava laughs]<\/p>\n<p>OK, how many times do I need to say my marriage is over? Gabi&#8217;s as good as dead to me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[Stefan sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[pounding on door]<\/p>\n<p>Hello! <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[tense music]<\/i> Hello?<\/p>\n<p>[pounding on door] Gabi, it&#8217;s Roman Brady!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gabi!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gabi!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Is anybody home?

But I think we were both right about her involvement with Li Shin&#8217;s murder.<\/p>\n<p>Did you find evidence?<\/p>\n<p>Something like that. Look&#8230; I&#8217;m not really sure how to describe this. OK? But Connie had a life-sized cardboard cutout of Li.<\/p>\n<p>What? What&#8211; you mean like in an old video store?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, something like that. And it was in her bedroom tucked underneath the covers.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Definitely didn&#8217;t have that on my bingo card.<\/p>\n<p>OK, well&#8211;yeah. Well, there&#8217;s more.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s gonna be hard to top that.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m about to. Listen. It appears that cutout cardboard Li was not Connie&#8217;s first occupant in the bed. There were ropes tied to the headboard, Rafe.<\/p>\n<p>Ropes?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Like she&#8217;s been holding someone hostage in that apartment.<\/p>\n<p>[softly] Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>[grunts]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Good morning, sunshine. I brought you some company.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Mmm. OK. So you say that Gabi is out of your life.<\/p>\n<p>She is.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you believe it in this moment.<\/p>\n<p>I do believe it because it&#8217;s the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>What? What?<\/p>\n<p>Uh&#8211;no, no, no. OK, it&#8217;s just that&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] I&#8217;ve been through this before with Rafe, with Harris. And even though we are not romantically involved, you know, I&#8217;m just&#8211; I&#8217;m just preparing myself for when you and Gabi do get back together and I&#8217;m out on my ass again.<\/p>\n<p>My God. How many times do I have to tell you that&#8217;s not going to happen?<\/p>\n<p>Really? Even if Gabi comes slithering back into your life?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s not going to happen, either.<\/p>\n<p>You so sure about that?<\/p>\n<p>I am sure about that, especially since she told me this morning she found herself in EJ&#8217;s bed yet again.<\/p>\n<p>[Ava sighs] Oh, this day just keeps getting better.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Well, well, well. Isn&#8217;t this cozy? I suppose you decided to invite Ava to your victory celebration? But it&#8217;s a little premature, don&#8217;t you think? <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[jazzy music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[Roman sighs] <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[suspenseful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gabi!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[ominous music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>So you found blood?<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.

We&#8217;re in the bowels of the DiMera mansion.<\/p>\n<p>The secret room.<\/p>\n<p>So you do know about it.<\/p>\n<p>Why are we here?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re here because I needed someplace safe to stash you when my apartment became too hot. I came here to kill Gabi.<\/p>\n<p>But she&#8217;s still alive. Does that mean you&#8217;ve changed your mind?<\/p>\n<p>No. I just figured it&#8217;d be more efficient to kill you both together.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[jazzy music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>EJ, shouldn&#8217;t you be at the office?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you mean where I&#8217;m supposed to be arrested for my high crimes and misdemeanors?<\/p>\n<p>Arrested?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, he didn&#8217;t tell you? My brother was setting me up. I just got back from a meeting with Mayor Price where she told me that you gave her an earful about what happened with Nicole&#8217;s baby.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s all the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. And seeing how it was a while back, you just decided that right now was the time to tell the mayor all about it?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, just like you decided that right now would be a great time to go after my wife.<\/p>\n<p>Right. So this is your way of trying to get revenge on me for that? Well, if that&#8217;s the case, let me remind you that it was your wife who came on to me that night.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. What about this morning, huh? I&#8217;m guessing that that was mutual because the first time was so amazing that you two just couldn&#8217;t wait to ravage each other again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Just make sure CSU combs through every inch of that apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to miss one single cell of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Roman, did you find Gabi? Was she at the mansion?<\/p>\n<p>I went inside the place. No sign of Gabi or anyone else, for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>What about the staff?<\/p>\n<p>I went to talk to Harold. The kitchen was empty.<\/p>\n<p>Is that unusual?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s not unheard of. They run a lot of errands. You&#8217;re sure that she wasn&#8217;t there?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Rafe, look, I don&#8217;t know where Gabi is, but I don&#8217;t believe she&#8217;s in that house. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[suspenseful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Lord. So this is the apartment where Melinda Trask was being held hostage?<\/p>\n<p>We believe so, ma&#8217;am. We found some of her personal items in the bedroom along with evidence that someone had been restrained in the bed.<\/p>\n<p>And so you haven&#8217;t found this Connie Viniski?<\/p>\n<p>No. Acting Commissioner Hunter put out an APB on her. But so far, no hits.<\/p>\n<p>What about Melinda?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re on the lookout for her, too. CSU is trying to confirm that this is her blood. Right now, we&#8217;d be happy to just find her alive.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You brought me all the way over here just to kill me? Why didn&#8217;t you just do it when I was back at your apartment when you had the chance?<\/p>\n<p>In the place I share with Li? I could never sully our home with that kind of violence.<\/p>\n<p>Didn&#8217;t stop you from killing him there! Oh, I forgot. He&#8217;s not really dead. He&#8217;s just a little stiff.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want the gag back in?<\/p>\n<p>No, please.<\/p>\n<p>I never wanted to keep you there in the first place. But desperate times and all that. It&#8217;ll be over soon, though. And Li and I, we can finally enjoy our happily ever after just as soon as I finish off you and Gabi.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What&#8217;s that?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, Melinda. I&#8217;m going to take good care of you. Li and I both are.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Here comes the airplane!<\/p>\n<p>No. Get that drug-laced slop away from me!<\/p>\n<p>I slaved away making this slop for you. Fine. Starve. See if I care. The only reason I kept you alive was just because Li asked me to. I&#8217;m trying! You see that, right?<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s dead, you psycho!<\/p>\n<p>And whose fault is that? Yours and Gabi&#8217;s and Stefan&#8217;s. If it weren&#8217;t for the three of you, I never would have had to ever&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>You never would have what?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK, thank you. According to DiMera security, Gabi did not come to the office today.<\/p>\n<p>What about Stefan?<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t speak to him.<\/p>\n<p>Well, maybe Gabi decided to take the morning off and play a little hooky with Stefan. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[suspenseful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I kind of doubt that.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Well, a lot has happened since you were&#8230; sleeping.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stefan and Gabi split up.<\/p>\n<p>What? Why?<\/p>\n<p>Well, apparently Stefan cheated on her. With Ava Vitali.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>This morning, nobody ravaged anybody. What the hell are you talking about?<\/p>\n<p>EJ, don&#8217;t insult me, playing innocent here, OK? Gabi sauntered downstairs in your robe and couldn&#8217;t wait to gloat to me about your most recent romp.<\/p>\n<p>[EJ sighs]<\/p>\n<p>I came here for a little fun. Last thing I need is to be psychoanalyzed.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat] I got a little taste of that myself yesterday from Johnny, actually. When he found out you and I slept together, he warned me that I was potentially destroying my family out of misplaced rage towards Eric and Nicole.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>He also pointed out that since I was the one who had blown up my marriage, my rage and anger was doubly misplaced.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like he was being preachy as hell.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Yes, but he had a point.<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat] I just received my divorce decree from Nicole. So honestly, I&#8217;m not exactly in the right frame of mind to be engaging in sexual warfare. Though tempting it may be.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Wait a minute. You&#8217;re&#8211; are you seriously turning me down?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be offended, Gabi. I suspect that deep down, this isn&#8217;t what you really want, either.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[chuckles]<\/i> Gabi told you we had sex this morning?<\/p>\n<p>Well, she referred to it more as, uh, marathon. Why, you&#8217;re not actually going to sit here and deny it, are you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[suspenseful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>And when we came in here, we found&#8230; him.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, holy flat Stanley.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What&#8211;what is this?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Li Shin.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, yeah, I know who it is, but what the hell is he doing in the bed?<\/p>\n<p>Ma&#8217;am, in my professional opinion, Connie Viniski is out of her mind. <i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>[ominous music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Connie, it is not too late to change your mind.<\/p>\n<p>Why would I change my mind?<\/p>\n<p>Because you don&#8217;t want to be a murderer. Again.<\/p>\n<p>Well, thank you for your concern, Melinda, but I&#8217;m fine. I mean, it wasn&#8217;t easy getting either of you down here without being noticed. But now that I have both of you in one place, it&#8217;s awfully convenient. Two bitches with one stone, if you will. No need to worry about messy cleanup or the police finding any evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Why not? They&#8217;re bound to look down here eventually.<\/p>\n<p>Well, they can look all they want. But they won&#8217;t find anything. By the time I&#8217;m finished, you&#8217;ll both be incinerated.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckling] Along with everything else in this house.<\/p>\n<p>[suspenseful music]<\/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 Suzanne THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
