[laughs]\u00a0 This is nuts.\u00a0 You really think I went on your laptop looking\u00a0 for your stupid storylines?\u00a0 [tense music]<\/p>\n<p>Stupid?\u00a0 You said you liked them.<\/p>\n<p>I did like them!\u00a0 But we&#8217;re not talking about nuclear secrets here.\u00a0 Trust me, I am not that interested.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not about whether or not you&#8217;re interested.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the fans.\u00a0 You said yourself, die-hard fans\u00a0 would kill for these spoilers!<\/p>\n<p>So from that comment, you came to the conclusion\u00a0 that I am a no-good, dirty liar?<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention a thief who is having a hard time\u00a0 making ends meet.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>You said yourself Gabi isn&#8217;t paying you enough.\u00a0 You need to find a second gig.<\/p>\n<p>Yes!\u00a0 Like as a bartender, not as a gossip columnist.\u00a0 Plus, how many people have access\u00a0 to these stories of yours?\u00a0 Anyone could have spilled.\u00a0 Cast or crew, the guy who dumps the recycling.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no,\u00a0 because some of these ideas are so new,\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t shared them with anybody.\u00a0 They exist on my hard drive and nowhere else,\u00a0 which is why I usually never let my computer\u00a0 out of my sight.\u00a0 Turns out my big mistake was letting you out of my sight.<\/p>\n<p>So Lady Whistleblower ruined the whole first week\u00a0 of the reboot.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.\u00a0 Every twist of the plot, every hanger off the cliff.<\/p>\n<p>My God. This is a nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I know.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]\u00a0 And I can&#8217;t even do anything about it because first\u00a0 I have to find out if Roman and Abe and the rest\u00a0 of the cast and crew who ate those tainted cupcakes,\u00a0 I have to find out if they&#8217;re OK.\u00a0 I just&#8211; I wish I knew who did this.\u00a0 [relaxed music]<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to cause problems for me,\u00a0 Rafe, then why are you quitting?\u00a0 I need you on the force&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, come on.\u00a0 Look, you&#8217;ll find another detective.<\/p>\n<p>Not like you.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of other skilled cops out there,\u00a0 but there is only one you and me,\u00a0 and I don&#8217;t want to do anything to screw this up, all right?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve worked together before.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, but this is different.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.\u00a0 So Gabi was right.<\/p>\n<p>About what?<\/p>\n<p>She told me that no matter how many times you said\u00a0 you were fine with me being commissioner\u00a0 and you working under me, that deep down, you weren&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] I&#8211; no.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t want to get into this. No.<\/p>\n<p>Come on.\u00a0 Just&#8211; just be honest with me please.<\/p>\n<p>See, that&#8217;s really difficult because it&#8217;s hard for me\u00a0 to do that without sounding like a total ass.<\/p>\n<p>OK, so you&#8217;re admitting that this\u00a0 is all about your macho pride?<\/p>\n<p>I did not say that.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?\u00a0 So tell me, why was it OK for me to work for you,\u00a0 but not the other way around?\u00a0 [soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So Clyde reached out to Chad and demanded a trade.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right.<\/p>\n<p>What could that monster possibly offer Chad?<\/p>\n<p>The location of my sister&#8217;s remains.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, God, JJ.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.\u00a0 Son of a bitch said he&#8217;d tell Chad\u00a0 where to find Abigail&#8217;s body\u00a0 if he handed Cat Greene over to him on a silver platter.<\/p>\n<p>And EJ went along with all this?\u00a0 Why, just because Chad asked him to?<\/p>\n<p>Well, he didn&#8217;t like it, but I guess family loyalty\u00a0 does mean something to him.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes.\u00a0 So I&#8217;m assuming that Clyde wants to kill Cat\u00a0 for screwing up his master plan.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0 Probably.\u00a0 But I&#8217;m pretty sure Chad isn&#8217;t gonna let that happen.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Yeah, I got it.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll wait for your next instructions.\u00a0 [phone beeps]<\/p>\n<p>What the hell was that?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I had to make him think I was handing\u00a0 you over willingly, right?<\/p>\n<p>Did you need to lay it on so thick?<\/p>\n<p>Which part?\u00a0 Where I called you an idiot?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, the part where you called me an idiot.\u00a0 Is that how you feel?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I could say a lot of negative things about you,\u00a0 but, no, an idiot is not one of them.<\/p>\n<p>OK. What is his plan?\u00a0 What are the marching orders?<\/p>\n<p>Clyde wants us to be Mr. And Mrs. Chad DiMera.\u00a0 Again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get it.\u00a0 We&#8217;re back at Clyde wanting us to get married?<\/p>\n<p>He just wants us to check into the hotel\u00a0 as Chad and Abigail DiMera.<\/p>\n<p>What hotel? Where?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0 He said he would call with the info.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] He&#8217;s toying with us.<\/p>\n<p>What can we do? He holds all the cards.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible that this is a complete setup,\u00a0 that he never intends to lead us to Abigail\u00a0 or to my mother.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s a possibility,\u00a0 but we don&#8217;t really have another choice, do we?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]\u00a0 That&#8217;s what I thought\u00a0 when he had me masquerading around as your dead wife,\u00a0 and what did you tell me about that?\u00a0 [soft dramatic music]<\/p>\n<p>That we should have found a different way\u00a0 to save your mother.\u00a0 Any other way.<\/p>\n<p>And you were right.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been playing Clyde&#8217;s game for a long time.\u00a0 It&#8217;s time we started playing a game of our own.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So you actually think Chad would protect\u00a0 that Abigail imposter?\u00a0 I mean, after all the torture that she put him through?<\/p>\n<p>Look, I&#8217;m not saying that he isn&#8217;t furious,\u00a0 but she&#8217;s been worming her way into his life for a while now.\u00a0 Reciting their wedding vows to him,\u00a0 pretending to walk down memory lane.<\/p>\n<p>Pretending being the key word.\u00a0 It was all lies.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it was.\u00a0 But as hard as it is to believe,\u00a0 Cat claims that she&#8217;s actually started to care about him,\u00a0 and now she&#8217;s going with the story\u00a0 about how she only went along with Clyde\u00a0 to save her mother&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Do you believe her?<\/p>\n<p>I certainly don&#8217;t trust her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Do you think there&#8217;s a possibility that she\u00a0 and Clyde are still working together?<\/p>\n<p>Sure, there is.\u00a0 Weston hates Chad, obviously,\u00a0 so it&#8217;s not crazy to think that Cat would be\u00a0 some kind of double agent,\u00a0 pretending to be on Chad&#8217;s side when she&#8217;s actually\u00a0 delivering him to Clyde.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you really think that&#8217;s a possibility,\u00a0 what are you gonna do about it?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK.
