[ scene_break ] marlena : john . hi . want to join me ? i just ordered dessert . wow . you seem distracted . are you all right ? john : i had my first hypnotherapy session tonight . marlena : what happened ? john : nothing . marlena : you did n't remember anything ? john : not that i 'm aware of . maybe i ought to just pack this whole thing in . marlena : john -- john : no , you do n't get it . despite your accusations that i ca n't stand in my therapy because i want to be around dr. charlotte taylor , because she is so attractive and charming and whatever the hell else you called her , i want out ! marlena : okay . john : i want out ! i 'm not in this for the joy of being shrunk . marlena : i understand . i should n't have assumed what i did . i 'm -- oh , my gosh . i 'm so sorry .

[ scene_break ] victor : how dare you lash out at me -- in my own home , no less . what the hell is the matter with you ? daniel : why ca n't you cut chloe a break ? victor : because she 's poison -- that 's why . i do n't care if she gave her bone marrow to the entire population of the midwest . she 's a user and a fraud . daniel : listen to me . i may have been kate 's doctor , but she would n't be here without chloe . kate owes chloe her life , and you , at the very least , owe her a little respect . [ scene_break ] chloe : i 'm really impressed , kate , that you were able to set aside your differences with nicole . kate : well , i think holding on to anger is a losing proposition . it 's a waste of time . it 's a waste of energy . chloe : i wish everyone could be that forgiving . kate : my family is what matters to me -- my children and this extraordinary young woman who not only saved my life but made lucas the happiest he 's ever been in his entire life . kate : come here . [ scene_break ] stephanie : philip , it was a joke . philip : yeah , but ... you 're kind of right . in this day and age , workplace romances -- you can never be too careful . stephanie : you 're kidding now , right ? philip : no . i 'm not . i mean , think about it . what do people do around the water cooler ? they gossip . and with `` loose lips `` melanie , you can never play it too safe . stephanie : meaning what ? philip : meaning i do n't think we should work together anymore . [ scene_break ] marlena : mm . i 've been doing some research on -- on our dr. taylor . john : `` research `` ? marlena : well , you know , we do n't know that much about her . i mean , i - i know about her father . i studied with him . i - i 'm a great believer in his work , but i just thought i 'd see if we could actually trust our dr. taylor . john : mm - hmm . and do you ? marlena : well , as it turns out , she has boatload of awards , her colleagues think of her very highly , and , well , i think she 's a keeper . john : ah . does that mean you 're giving me permission to date her ? [ scene_break ] max : look , i know daniel hurt you , and i just do n't want that to happen again . chelsea : well , it 's not going to , 'cause we 're done . got it ? over . max : done . there is a bright side to all this . chelsea : oh , yeah ? max : yeah . you and kate can now go pick up guys together . you guys can do that singles speed - dating thing . chelsea : that 's hilarious , max . max : seriously , though , i 'm sorry about -- your grandma is having this rough time and everything and then now this . chelsea : it 's just weird because she and daniel seemed so into each other . i mean , especially lately . max : yeah . relationships , right ? i mean , you know , people are together , and then they 're not , and then they 're back together again . it 's just how it goes , right ? [ scene_break ] e.j . : so , who 's mia ? nicole : uh , mia -- she -- she 's , uh , well , i met her at the doctor 's office , and -- and we exchanged numbers , and , well , you know that little bracelet i have with the pearls on it ? e.j . : yeah . nicole : i guess it must have come loose when i took my jacket off , and mia found it on the floor . e.j . : oh , that was lucky . nicole : yeah . so , um , i thought i 'd swing by later and pick it up . e.j . : okay , well , i 'll come with you . [ scene_break ] lucas : look at all these presents we got to open , huh ? chloe : yeah . lucas : you having fun yet ? chloe : are you ? lucas : well , truthfully , i 'd rather be at home in front of a nice fire , having some private time . chloe : me too . lucas : well , good . i 'll just pack these up , and we 'll say our goodbyes . chloe : uh , lucas , wait . before we leave , uh , i really want to tell you something . [ scene_break ] max : i do n't know about you , but all this talk about relationships ... chelsea : makes you realize how not being in one is so much simpler . max : exactly . chelsea : you do n't have to worry about if the other person 's gon na call you or if they really even care about you . max : no weird attacks of jealousy . chelsea : oh , gross . jealousy , possessiveness . both : who needs it . [ scene_break ] michelle : hey , max . max : hey . how you doing ? this is , um , michelle . chelsea . chelsea . michelle . she just started . chelsea : nice to meet you . michelle : so , what can i get you guys ? chelsea : um , i think that i 'm gon na have -- max : a caesar salad , easy on the dressing , and add tomatoes . chelsea : oh . a hotshot . okay . he 's gon na have the brady burger with swiss cheese , extra pickles , and a side of chili fries . max : look at that . michelle : you guys are like telepathic or something . such a cool couple . [ scene_break ] marlena : why would i ever encourage you to date your doctor ? john : well , why else would you do all this digging ? i mean , obviously you were looking for something negative about her , and since you did n't find anything -- marlena : no . no , no . i was checking her qualifications , john . and since she seems highly qualified to handle your case , i think you should consider giving her a second chance . [ scene_break ] stephanie : if it 's you or titan , look , i can quit my internship , if that 's what you want . philip : i ca n't let you do that . i mean , think of all the college credits you 're racking up and the experience . stephanie : i can get experience anywhere . i could work in a million different places . philip : we need you here , steph , okay ? you 're the only intern that has her head on straight . stephanie : philip , if you want to break up with me , just say so . [ scene_break ] nicole : would you give me the keys , please ? e.j . : no . i do n't want you on the roads by yourself . they 're extremely slick . nicole : well , it 's a good thing i 'm a conscientious driver , is n't it ? e.j . : okay , why do you insist on going to see her on your own ? nicole : why are you making such a big deal out of this ? e.j . : two reasons . one -- you 're pregnant . the second one is i love you and i do n't want you taking any unnecessary risks . go and see her in the morning . nicole : are you sure i should n't wait until the end of april -- you know , when the snow melts ? e.j . : when is that -- april , you say ? i love you . i 'm going to bed . nicole : fine . good night , darling . e.j . : unh - unh , unh - unh , unh - unh . i 'll see you in the morning . nicole : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] mia : hello ? nicole : it 's nicole . mia : are you outside ? nicole : no . um , i 'm afraid i 'm not gon na be able to make it tonight . mia : then i 'll come to you . nicole : no , no . that 's a terrible idea . [ scene_break ] lucas : what is it , baby ? is something wrong ? chloe : i - i just do n't deserve all of this -- the party , all the presents , you . lucas : do n't tell me you 're gon na start with the `` i do n't deserve all this because i 'm a spoiled brat `` routine again . chloe : i mean it . it 's just hard for me . lucas : well , i 'm gon na tell you this for the last time . this is how it is around here , you know ? you 're part of the family now . it 's gon na be like this for the rest of our lives . chloe : i wish i could believe that . lucas : what 's the matter ? why are you acting all weird and weepy ? chloe : well , people change . feelings change . nothing lasts forever . lucas : kind of sounds like a beatles ' song . chloe : do n't joke , please . lucas : [ clears throat ] is this about brady ? yeah , i know we both came from bad relationships in the past , but this is gon na be different . i mean , i know every time you walk in the room , i get that little feeling inside , and every time allie hears your voice , you know , it brings a smile to her face . you 're the only person i want to be with . there 's nowhere i 'd rather be than here with you . i have never felt that way about anybody else . see ? feel better now ? huh ? a little bit ? come on . i 'll go get the car . [ door opens , closes ] [ door opens ] daniel : it 's a nice act you put on . [ scene_break ] stephanie : gee , what a relief . philip : no , but i do think i need to reassign you to someone else . i 'll take care of it first thing in the morning . stephanie : okay . so this whole thing was just a big tease ? you just wanted to see me insecure ? philip : well , it 's not that hard to do . stephanie : hey ! that was mean and nasty and sadistic . philip : it was funny . it was humor . stephanie : ha ha ! you think it 's funny watching me squirm ? philip : i think it 's sexy watching you squirm . i think it 's sexy -- just about anything you do . mm - hmm . stephanie : [ chuckles ] philip : sexy .

sami : i do n't understand why this one 's more complicated . is that why the cancer spread , because of the surgery you did last time ? dr. kim : no , absolutely not . sami : well , then what is it ? why is this one worse ? carly : it 's not worse . it 's just in order to save the eye , it requires precise maneuvers with a - a laser . lexie : the main thing is to get the cancer before it has a chance to spread . sami : i get that , lexie . but this is the only eye he has left . i want to know why you did n't see this before , why you did n't catch it sooner . daniel : okay , okay , retinoblastoma is a very aggressive cancer . now , during the previous surgery , dr. kim and i both agreed that it had n't spread . but the x - rays have proven us wrong . sami : what if you do n't get it all this time ? lexie : okay , sami ... sami ... there are so many variables . let 's not speculate , okay ? sami : but i promised him that was the only surgery , lexie . i mean , i -- i told him he would still be able to see . i -- i mean , i -- oh , my god . oh , my god .

jordan : i 'm sorry , i just ca n't -- abigail : no , no , jordan , wait -- chad : jordan ! abigail : [ sighs ] daphne : he broke up with you ? oh , my god , i am so sorry . are you okay ? dumb question . what happened ? paige : well , you know how my grandpa was sick and i had to fly to l.a. , you know , right before winter break ? daphne : yeah , yeah . he 's okay now , right ? paige : he is . but i thought i might have to stay in california for a while . and i told jj that i did n't know when or if i 'd even be coming back . daphne : okay , but now you 're back . so what 's the problem ? paige : while i was gone , jj , he -- slept with someone else . daphne : that bastard . who ? paige : he would n't tell me , but i have a pretty good idea . eve : i 'm glad i ran into you . jj : why ? so you could throw it in my face that you got what you wanted ? i 'm out of your daughter 's life . now you stay the hell out of mine . eve : i would like that , jj , but something 's come up that we need to discuss . in private . anne : abigail , could you possibly explain to the reporters what is going on here ? ben : i have to make sure jordan 's okay . abigail : wait , i 'm coming with you . anne : no , no , no , i 'm h.r . you are p.r . when you can be bothered to do your job , which is apparently never . kate : i think i might be able to help . the only clyde that i know is ms . ridgeway 's step - father , clyde weston . mr. weston is the anonymous donor ? kate : well , it would seem so . obviously i had no idea , but apparently i had no need for concern as well . i mean , mr. weston is a very generous man , and clearly he knew exactly where his funds were going . could you please spell his name ? kate : um , of course i could . it 's clyde . c - l - y - d - e . jordan : this is a nightmare . chad : i am so sorry . if i had any idea that you thought i was the anonymous donor , then i -- jordan : no , it 's not your fault . i should n't have assumed -- ben : jordan . jordan : you know how i feel about clyde . how could you let this happen ? clyde : uh , well , sir , i 'm a man of few regrets . but out of curiosity , to which move would you be referring ? victor : everybody knows who runs the trucking business in salem . clyde : no mystery there . victor : it is my business . mine ! i have been running it for decades . do you understand me ? clyde : oh , i do . and i think it 's about time for a change . time for some new blood . ben : jordan , i am really sorry . clyde said he wanted to donate some money to a worthy cause to give back to the community . jordan : right . ben : he overheard abigail talking about this project and how tough it was to get it off the ground . and when he found out it was your idea , he just -- jordan : oh , he just swooped in and saved the day , right ? ben : he insisted that the donation be anonymous . i knew how much this project meant to you , jordan . look at me . and i know how many people it could help . jordan : no -- do n't you see what he 's doing ? are you really that blind , ben ? abigail : jordan , listen to me . it 's not ben 's fault , okay ? chad : no . abigail : it 's not . look , we both knew how upset you would be about clyde being the anonymous donor , okay ? but i was worried that we were n't gon na be able to raise the money , and i -- i do n't know . i thought that -- i thought that you would never find out where the money came from . jj : so i would n't be beholden to him in any way , right ? abigail : exactly . jordan : except that clyde never meant for it to be anonymous for very long . abigail : what are you talking about ? i mean , how could he know that ben -- jordan : okay , okay , maybe he did n't expect for it to come out this way in this very moment . but sooner or later , clyde wanted me to find out . chad : let 's just get out of here . anne : excuse me for interrupting your little coffee klatch , but maybe you recall there is a press conference going on out there ? okay , now kate roberts , she 's out there going on and on about the incomparable generosity of clyde weston . now if you two do n't get out there , no one 's gon na know anything about this project other than who funded it . so do you want it to fail ? eve : paige is not at the house , so we could meet at my place . jj : yeah , no , that 's not happening . i 'm not going over there . eve : okay , you know what ? let 's go to the park , all right ? i do n't want anyone to see us leave together , so let 's say the south side in ten minutes . jj : i ca n't . eve : if you care about paige 's happiness , you 'll be there , jj . daphne : you think jj hooked up with that ? no . paige : why not ? they used to be a couple . daphne : for , like , a nanosecond . paige : bev never missed a chance to let me know that she wanted him back . daphne : why would he want her ? you go up to her and tell that skank where to go . paige : no . i do n't even know for sure . jj made his own choice . daphne : i really hate that he did this to you , but if he thought you were n't coming back ... paige : he could n't wait one day . daphne : but you still love him , do n't you ? are you sure there 's no way for you guys to work this out ? bev : hey , paige ! did you have a good break . i sure did . hope : aiden told me all about his wife 's death , and believe me , he did n't whitewash anything . god , it was so tragic . but no way was it his fault . jennifer : but bree thinks it was . hope : meredith was very unhappy in the marriage , and since bree was her best friend she holds aiden responsible for her suicide . jennifer : it 's just horrible for everyone involved . hope : obviously it was extremely painful ... jennifer : yeah . hope : for aiden and chase , and the last thing they need is for her to be dredging everything back up again . you know what she 's claiming ? she 's claiming that he threatened her . jennifer : seriously ? hope : yes . so i asked him , of course , about it , and he explained . all he told bree is that he 'd take legal action if she continued to slander his name . but she made it sound like her life was in danger . jennifer : all right , did you explain all of this to kayla ? hope : what 's the point ? it 's pointless . she 's already made up her mind that aiden 's bad news . jennifer : but you believe him , right ? hope : of course i do . i love -- i love him . and i trust him completely . [ exhales ] wow . aiden : you shoulda kept your mouth shut , bree . bree : hope has a right to know who you really are . meredith despised you . she told me you wanted her gone , and now she is . i wo n't watch another friend suffer and -- aiden : hope is not your friend . you do n't even know what the hell you 're talking about . now i really hoped you would n't push things this far , but now that you have ... bree : what ? what are you gon na do ? aiden : well , you seem to know what i 'm capable of . do i really need to spell it out for you ? i 've got to stop her before she ruins everything . hold it ! come with me . victor : i 'm aware that you run a two - bit trucking operation in ass - bend , missouri . clyde : that 's popular bluff , sir . victor : but if you think you can come up here and bluff your way into my territory -- clyde : oh , i 'm not bluffing my way into anything . victor : oh ? well , then you 're delusional . clyde : you know , i learned early on that if people get worked up over a little healthy competition , they usually have reason to worry . victor : competition ? if you do n't realize that you 're out of your league , you 're in a lot more trouble than i thought you were . clyde : like i said before , i 'm a humble man just trying to make a living for myself and my family . but i think there 's a need out there for someone like me . victor : a hillbilly . clyde : no , sir , a man of the people . i 've spoken to a good many of your customers , and frankly they just do n't seem to be as satisfied as they used to be . i liken it to a neglected housewife who 's looking for someone who 'd just be a wee bit more attentive to their needs . victor : you keep pushing , weston , and their needs are gon na be the least of your concerns . jordan : of course i do not want this project to fail . i know how many people it could help , but we just -- we can not take the money from clyde . anne : what difference does it make where the money came from ? ben : jordan , i wrestled with this a lot . abigail : it seemed like we were running out of options , and this really feels like it 's the best one . chad : what about me ? abigail : what about you ? chad : i could donate the money . jordan : chad , that is very generous of you , but -- chad : okay , look , but -- but what ? i have the money , and i want to help . jordan : okay , i appreciate that , i do , but you ca n't . you heard what kate just told the press of the influence i would use to solicit your donation . she would never let the hospital board sign off on that . abigail : i mean , jordan , we do n't really have another choice . look , i understand how you feel , okay ? but this is our big launch . and if this flops , i hate to say it , but anne is right . all those people that we were gon na help will just be out of luck . anne : well , people , the reporters , they 're not gon na stand around while you spend time wringing your hands , okay ? chad : hey , we 're gon na find a way to make this work . clyde is n't gon na win . let 's go . anne : come on . come on . bev : are n't you gon na ask me what i did over the break ? paige : no . bev : okay , no need to be rude about it . paige : jj already told me , okay ? bev : really ? ooh , do you wan na see my pictures ? daphne : paige , do n't . paige : uh , what 's this ? bev : capri . or maybe croatia . you know , when you 're on a cruise for a month , it all kinda starts to blend together . paige : cruise ? bev : yeah , i mean , i did n't even mention it to jj . i guess he just saw my photos online . are n't they great ? you have to scroll . it was so much fun . paige : so you were gone for a month . that 's , like , the entire break . bev : just got back last night , and it sucks because italy has the most gorgeous men , and so does france . and i mean men . not wannabes , like your little jj . well , okay , i 'm gon na go . hope you and your boyfriend had a great break as well , freezing your butts off here in salem . have a good semester . daphne : well , maybe it was n't bev after all . eve : [ shivering ] oh , finally . jj : oh , yeah , you 're lucky i came at all . what do you want ? eve : your mother came to see me . did you know that ? she seems to think that i 'm responsible for you and paige breaking up . jj : well , that 's because you are . you forced me . eve : i never forced you to have sex with me , jj , not the first time and not the second time . and i swear to god , if you said one thing to jennifer then -- jj : oh , well , you know , actually , yeah , uh , i went home and i was like , `` hey , mom , guess what . i totally just bagged eve , who happens to be your worst enemy . high five . `` eve : that is so not funny , you idiot . nobody can find out about this . paige would never forgive me . jj : well , maybe that 's what you deserve , eve . clyde : frankly , victor , i do n't understand your hostility . the way i see it , i 'm doing you a favor . victor : a favor ? clyde : sure . your sons and nephew , they do n't like getting their fancy fingernails dirty . so maybe it 'd be best if you 'd just let go of certain less savory holdings . you got plenty of other interests to keep you busy . victor : you do n't tell me -- clyde : no , no , no . you do n't tell me where i can and can not do business . now , this is the last time you 'll summon me here . salem is my home now too , and i have every intention of making a good life for myself here , and if you do n't think there 's room enough for the two of us in this town , you rest assured i 'll make room . good day . kate : we are just so fortunate that mr. weston is part of our community , and even though he wanted to remain anonymous , i think it 's wonderful -- anne : my deepest apologies . we are ready to answer your questions . kate : ah . assuming you 've worked out the funding ... abigail : we have . what services will you be providing exactly ? abigail : well , the hospital serves a very large senior population without access to reliable transportation . if we can bring physical rehabilitative therapy and preventative care to them , we 're not only improving their quality of life , but we 're allowing them to stay in their homes , which will significantly improve their lives overall . aiden : believe me , i 've given it a great deal of thought , and it has to be done . yeah , just let me know when you set it in motion . thanks . chase : bye . aiden : thank you for driving him . hey , how was school ? chase : boring . we had to write about the best thing we did over winter break . aiden : yeah ? and what was yours ? chase : playing on my new ps4 . aiden : chase . chase : what ? everyone else went to their grandparents ' house or someplace cool . why ca n't we go back to our beach house ? aiden : actually , chase ... talk to you about that . we 're not gon na go back . chase : this year ? aiden : ever . hope : i never thought i 'd say those words about another man beside bo , but i do . i really do love him . jennifer : wow , that 's -- i mean , i 'm happy for you . that 's great . hope : thanks , coz . i know a lot of people do n't feel the same way . to be honest with you , sometimes i really feel guilty . jennifer : well , you do not have to justify anything to me , because i have been exactly where you are . and bo put you in an impossible situation , hope . hope : you know , i know that he thinks or feels that , you know , he 's being noble or doing something -- i suppose for the greater good , whatever that may be . but i have -- i pray every day he 's okay . jennifer : i know you still love him . hope : yeah . like , i support him . i 'll always love him . i mean , i 've known him forever , right ? jennifer : yeah . [ chuckles softly ] hope : but a part of me is still really angry and incredibly disappointed in that man . how do you decide your job is more important than your family ? how is that ? jennifer : i do n't know . hope : how do you desert your family ? jennifer : i do n't know , hope , but the thing is , maybe it went on longer than he thought , but that does n't mean that you can just put your life on hold forever . it 's not fair to you . it 's not fair to ciara . hope : exactly . which is why i have decided to move on and be happy . i really miss gran . jennifer : mm . hope : it 's times like this that i really miss her . god , i wish she was still here , coz . jennifer : oh , i know . me too . mm , i love you . hope : i love you . i 'm so lucky to have you for my cousin . jennifer : we have each other . [ both chuckle ] hope : yeah , always . daphne : bev acted like she had no clue you and jj broke up . and if she was gone the whole break ... paige : who knows ? she lies about everything . maybe she 's just trying to torment me . daphne : i 'm going to find out . paige : how ? daphne : i 'm just gon na come right out and ask her . paige : no , no . daphne : why not ? it 's killing you not knowing . paige : the only thing that could make me feel worse right now is knowing that jj cheated on me with her . daphne : okay . but i do n't think he did . it would make you feel better to know that , would n't it ? paige : what does it matter now ? daphne : you loved jj . you deserve to know what really happened . and you need to know before you can move on , do n't you ? jj : paige already hates me , so what else do you think i have left to lose ? maybe i should tell her exactly what happened . eve : are you really that selfish ? jj , that would destroy her . if you care about her at all -- i do n't care if you hate me , but there 's nothing that you could do to punish me any more than i 'm punishing myself knowing what i 've -- jj , the only person that it would hurt would be paige . now , is that what you really want ? jj : of course i do n't want to hurt her any more than i already have . eve : then you have to promise that you wo n't say anything to anybody . jj : i wo n't say anything . eve : to anyone . if your mother were to find out about this ... jj : she wo n't . eve : well , she confronted me before , and she acted like she was suspicious . it sounded to me , and it felt like to me , that maybe you slipped up and said something to her by mistake . jj : no , i -- no , i did n't , and i wo n't . eve : you -- come on , jj . jj : i 'm done with this conversation . eve : jj . i just -- i got to make sure that jennifer does not know . your eyes really are unique . anne : i will get back to you asap with my recommendations on the project , starting with no repeats of today . ever . abigail : yeah , no . that definitely wo n't happen . you do n't have to worry about that . anne : okay . and buck up , jordan . things could be worse . at least your donor is n't another beneficent horton . jordan : can i have a word with you alone ? abigail : yes , of course . kate : congratulations , ladies . job well done . chad : you could n't have timed that any worse if you tried . way to almost ruin everything . ben : i do n't need any lectures from you . chad : you know , all you -- all you had to do was keep your mouth shut about clyde . not a very tall order . but you could n't stand to let jordan think i donated that money . hope it was worth it . kate . you mind telling me what that song and dance was all about ? aiden : i just got off the phone with a realtor , and the house is on the market . chase : you 're selling it ? aiden : we can still go to the beach . you should see how blue the water is in key west . and it 's so warm there -- chase : i do n't want to go to key west . i want to go to our house . mom loved it there . aiden : i know . i know she did . but , look , we ca n't keep living in the past . we have a great life here in salem now . chase : you just want me to forget mom ? aiden : cha -- no . hope : oh ! where are you going in such a hurry , honey ? chase : this is all your fault ! [ repeated knocking on door ] jennifer : gee whiz . eve : [ sighs ] jennifer : what do you want ? eve : i just wanted you to know that i got some documents in the mail pertaining to the movie rights to jack 's book , and as per our agreement , i also wanted you to know that i have signed the latest draft over with no complaints and no comments . jennifer : well , seeing as you are only entitled to the money and nothing else , i should certainly hope so . and my lawyer will send me a copy , you know . so why do n't you tell me why you 're really here ? eve : okay , well , i just thought we should actually discuss something . jennifer : and what is that ? eve : the situation between your son and my daughter . jennifer : [ sighs ] jj : i guess that 's what just transpired . i did ask you out , yeah . paige : well , in that case , i 'd love to . jj : no , nurse . i think i 'm good to go . paige : what if i do n't want you to go ? jj : well , then i 'll stay . a good luck charm for the end of high school . [ both chuckle ] paige : jj , it 's beautiful . jj : there are times when i think about you being in california , so far away , and us not being able to hang out whenever we want -- i 'm going to die . paige : i do n't understand . what -- what do you mean , `` we 're done `` ? jj : we -- we 're done . that 's all . while you were gone , i thought we were done , so i hooked up with someone else . paige . paige : i thought you did n't start classes till tomorrow . jj : i just came in to drop a class . paige : already ? which one ? jj : music in film . paige : the one we were gon na take together . because of me ? jj : i just -- i just think that it 's best if we do n't have to be around each other . paige : no . no , jj . we 're not done here yet . kate : song and dance ? i could n't carry a tune in a bucket . chase : aw , shucks . you sound just like clyde . you two have been so close lately . do you expect anybody to believe that you did n't know clyde donated that money ? kate : if i had known , do n't you think i would 've warned him that it was a lost cause ? with the likes of abigail and jordan in charge , this project is as doomed as the titanic . abigail : jordan , please tell me that you 're not gon na quit . i could never pull this off without you , and then it 'll just be the worst of both worlds , because we 'll take clyde 's money without actually ever helping anyone . jordan : i just do n't know how i 'm gon na do this . clyde and i -- abigail , you do n't understand . his involvement in this taints everything for me . abigail : okay , look , jordan , i am really sorry , okay ? i am so sorry . you were never supposed to ever find out that clyde was the donor . no one was . we were obliged legally to honor his wishes to keep this anonymous . ben : clyde even hired a lawyer to make sure . if i did n't open my big mouth , jordan -- jordan : right , you take his money first , and then you make sure he gets all the credit in front of reporters . ben : i could n't just stand there and let -- jordan : chad get all the credit ? ben : for something he did n't do , jordan . and , of course , he happily let you go on thinking that maybe -- jordan : so -- so let me get this straight . the man who ruined my life , the man who used to beat my little brother when you were a kid , the man who made us spend the last eight years on the run -- better i think he 's the one that donated the money than , god forbid , i go on thinking it was chad ? ben : jordan , please -- jordan : no . no . you know what ? i have to go . you know what ? i am happy that this project is going forward , but i am really disappointed in you . aiden : hey , chase . calm down , okay ? hope : what 's wrong ? chase : dad 's selling mom 's house . but you know that , right ? because you 're the one making him , are n't you ? aiden : that is not true . hope had nothing to do with my decision . she does n't even know about it . chase : you 're trying to make me forget about my mom , but i wo n't , and you will never take her place . jennifer : it 's funny , because you did n't want to talk about our kids the last time we saw each other , so what changed ? eve : well , you completely caught me off guard when you accused me of being responsible for their breakup , so i did n't feel like it was the right time to have a rational conversation , jennifer . jennifer : well , you wanted them apart , and now they are . are you honestly standing here telling me that you had nothing to do with that ? eve : well , i did n't have anything to do with it . i do n't even know what happened . all i know is that paige is a wreck , and i wanted to get her to open up about it , but she says she does n't want to talk about it , and it just -- well , it kills me to see her in such pain , and i thought , well , if i knew what was going on , well , then maybe i could help . jennifer : i do n't know either . i have no idea what 's going on . eve : really ? it -- jj did n't say anything to you about it ? jennifer : no . out of the blue , he just decided that he and paige are not right for each other anymore . eve : well . i totally agree with him , and -- yeah , i 'm just glad he finally realizes that . jennifer : eve , do you -- eve : no , no , jennifer , listen to me . i do n't know what happened between them , but it 's very clear that your son broke my daughter 's heart , so i 'm gon na ask you -- no , actually , i 'm gon na beg you . be the responsible parent here and keep your son away from my daughter from now on , okay ? paige : it 's really hard to deal with this when there 's still so much i do n't understand . you told me you loved me , jj . you were the first guy who ever -- but the second i go away for just a couple days , you hook up with some other girl . you do n't do that to someone you love . jj : how many times do i have to say ? i did n't think you were coming back . paige : so it was just that easy to move on , was it ? how did i not know i fell for such a jerk ? jj : why are you doing this , paige ? okay , i wish i had n't hooked up with someone else . i wish i could make it make sense . but i ca n't . we 've been over this so many times . paige : but you still have n't told me the whole story . how did it happen ? who was she ? why wo n't you tell me ? jj : paige -- paige : no . i 'm not letting you tell me that it does n't matter , because it does . i deserve the truth , and i 'm not letting you walk away until i get it . jordan : clyde , i know you 're in there . open up . clyde : what is your problem ? jordan : i know exactly what you 're up to , you son of a bitch . hope : chase , i would never want you to forget your mother . not ever . aiden : look , this has nothing to do with hope . chase : you 're lying ! aiden : hey , hey , hey , hey , hey . come here . i want you to sit down right over here , and i want you to stay here until you calm yourself down . you will not yell at me , and you will not yell at hope . do you understand me ? i 'm sorry about that . i do n't know what 's gotten into him . hope : no , no , no , he 's upset . he 's upset . i understand . sounds like he 's not ready for you to sell the house . aiden : we 're not using it . it 's time . so , you know ... hope : that 's the house on puget sound that his mother loved , right ? if money is n't an issue , why do n't you keep it ? aiden : do i really have to justify every move i make to you ? hope : no . i 'm not trying to interfere -- aiden : well , you are , once again , and this time it 's none of your damn business , so ... jennifer : you know what 's funny ? i really thought that you came here because you were concerned about our kids . but you just came here to make my son look like the bad guy . eve : because he is the bad guy . has n't he hurt my daughter enough ? jennifer : i have no idea what happened between the two of them , and neither do you . but , eve , i know that they love each other , and if we leave them alone , i think that they can work things out , and i am sure that jj will do everything he can to make things right . eve : your son broke up with my daughter . that 's the only thing that he can do to `` make things right , `` all right ? and i 'm not gon na allow him to hurt my daughter again , jennifer . jennifer : maybe paige hurt him . have you ever considered that ? listen , paige is a lovely girl . she really is . but you know what ? jj 's a great kid , and you never even gave him a chance , because if you had given him a chance -- eve : how many chances does this boy need ? really ? i mean , he 's gon na prove over and over again that he 's always gon na do the wrong thing . jennifer : you do n't even know him . you never even gave him a chance . eve : you do n't know him . you do n't know him . you hide your head in the sand , and you make excuses for this boy . you do n't have a clue about this boy or what he does . jj : paige , if there was anything that i could say to make this better , believe me , i would , okay ? but going over what went wrong is not gon na help anything , okay ? you just need to focus on moving on . you 'll be a lot better off . paige : but i ca n't do that until i know the whole truth . jj : i already told you -- paige : damn it , jj , i need to know all of it . who was she ? who did you sleep with ? chad : well , it seems like clyde got exactly what he wanted -- becomes a legit player in salem and sticks it to jordan in one fell swoop . kate : the donation was made anonymously , chad . chad : well , you remedied that . kate : i had no idea that ben was gon na blurt that out . and clyde is going to be very upset when he finds out . chad : yeah , i am sure about that . kate : you know , my darling , it may come as a shock to you , but not everyone has an ulterior motive . jordan : i know why you donated that money . clyde : excuse me ?

kate : look , will and sonny love each other , but i know they have a lot to overcome . i mean , they have to get through this whole tragic event that tore them apart , and i think they will . i think they 'll work their way back to each other , but only if this hustler is out of the picture . roman : how do you know this guy 's a hustler ? kate : because sonny attracts them , okay ? so anyway , i -- i googled evan frears , and i found around a thousand of them . i just have to keep at it till i find out which one he is , and then i 'll see what he 's been up to . roman : it sounds like a whole lot of work . kate : you were the commissioner , so what you can do is help me out and do a background check on evan . roman : kate ... kate : roman , what ? come on . do it for me . do it for will . hattie : wonder what that 's all about . abigail : you really think that stefano would meet with kristen and not you ? hon , he 's your father . chad : except kristen and him have always had a special relationship even though she 's not dimera by blood . out of all of his children , she 's the most like him . she idolizes him , so if anyone 's gon na get through to her , it 's -- it 's him . abigail : do you trust him ? chad : what choice do i have ? i mean , you saw how cagey she was with her shares . abigail : yeah , she 's definitely playing both sides . chad : right , so as much as i do n't like it , you know , he 's our best chance to get her to fall back in line with the family . kristen : so what is your endgame here , steve ?

steve : well , believe me , this vessel was not my first choice . kristen : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . i mean , rolf is brilliant . he is a brilliant scientist , but i am not gon na believe that he found a way to take my father 's essence and put it into this body without some kind of proof . steve : i understand , but ... believe me ... the phoenix has risen . as a struggling actor , chad : i 'm sorry to be dragging you into all this . abigail : what ? no , come on . you 're not dragging me into anything . kristen , stefano , they are my family too . i 'm a dimera , you know ? chad : you know , i -- i did n't even ask . what are you working on ? abigail : what ?

clyde : you really think that ciara 's sleuthing is gon na miraculously save you ? ben : i think that she 's never gon na give up , and neither will i . clyde : yeah , well , that 's just the problem . you see , saving your hide 's gon na take more than faith and determination . you 're running out of time , ben . if you 're smart , and i know you are , you 'll let me start working on plan b . ciara : wait , i do n't understand . what do you mean , you were n't talking about ben ? xander : exactly what i said . ciara : grandpa ? victor : let me explain . when you heard us discussing someone who did n't belong in prison , we were n't talking about ben weston . ciara : then who were you talking about ?

[ mysterious music ] kristen : god . so you have my father 's ring , and you got one eye fixed . what proof is that ? steve : you still do n't believe me . kristen : you could have stolen that ring from kate , and it is common knowledge that steve johnson got one of his eyes fixed courtesy of dimera tech company . steve : mm . kristen : and you could have gotten the other one done as well . you know what ? i 'm done playing this game . steve : i 'm not leaving . kristen : fine ! fine , then i 'm gon na call security . steve : why is it so hard for you to believe , huh ? after all , this was your idea . ( lisa vo ) right now , he 's doing his taxes . roman : kate , did you discuss the stefano situation with hattie ? hattie : oh , probably should n't have said anything , huh ? kate : mm . i simply told her that the police were looking for him and that they had questioned me . that 's it . hattie : i was just so excited about the cops catching up with count chocula . roman : they have n't caught up with him yet . hattie : they will catch up with him . they will , and then when they do , i 've got a few things that i wan na say , like , `` hey , thanks a lot for turning me into marlena and all this marlena stuff -- roman : hattie , hattie . hattie : what ? roman : yes , he would be wise to stay away , far , far away , as a matter of fact . hattie : i should say so . roman : now , i 'm going back to the kitchen . hattie : oh , ' kay . kate : okay , i thought that we agreed to keep quiet about all of this . hattie : i know . i know , i just got so excited about our -- our secret mission . kate : okay , but a secret mission has to remain a secret . hattie : look , i know you did n't want me talking about the stefano business , but i guess i was getting kind of afraid . kate : of -- why ? of what ? hattie : i was afraid -- i was afraid that stefano , um , would come after me . kate : well , wh -- you ? why ? hattie : because , well , patch -- patch -- can i still call him patch now that he does n't have that thing ? kristen : my idea , huh ? steve : mm - hmm . kristen : how the hell was this my idea ? steve : you do n't remember taking me to nashville ? kristen : oh , god . if you are referring to me taking my father to nashville , what about it ? steve : you asked rolf to save my life , stefano 's life , and he did . he got me out of that fire . kristen : if that is true , then why did n't he tell me ? steve : i forbade him to tell you . you had already mourned my death once . if i had tried to reach out to you again and rolf 's treatment failed , you would have had to have gone through that again . i could n't do that to you . kristen : this does n't make any sense . steve : oh , my darling , listen . how would i know all of this if i was n't stefano ? i can tell you every detail of what went on in that warehouse behind the door marked sd . kristen : if you really are my father , why are you showing yourself now , after all this time ? why did you reach out to chad and not me ?

i 'm -- i mean , what if he did n't kill jordan ? what if the police made a mistake again , and , you know , i 'm thinking about ciara , honestly . i mean , do n't you have any empathy for her ? chad : yeah , i do , but she chose to be with him despite his past , so . abigail : so what , she deserves to watch the man she loves die ? ben : i 'm not ready for this plan b , especially not coming from you . clyde : you prefer a plan d , as in death penalty ? ben : a few days ago you called me a rat for protecting an innocent man . clyde : that 's 'cause you pissed me off 'cause you chose to protect that sap will horton over your own flesh and blood . ben : will horton is a better person than you will ever be , dad . clyde : probably so , but you 're my son , and i 'm not gon na sit back and watch them kill you . i got ta do something . ben : well , i still believe ciara can pull this off . clyde : why ? what 's changed ? ben : because after victor 's stroke , he 's left vulnerable , dad . his defenses are down . i know how much he loves ciara . clyde : well , stroke or no stroke , he 's not gon na suddenly cough up a murder confession . if victor kiriakis is responsible for killing jordan , he 's gon na take that secret with him to the grave . ben : you do n't know that . clyde : i do know that , and i know you 're crazy for taking a risk . we could leave all this behind . we can find a place without an extradition treaty , just a place in the sun for you to spend the rest of your life with ciara . come on , what do you say ? will : what 's going on here ? ciara : will horton ? grandpa , what are you talking about ? he 's in prison for killing adrienne . xander : yes , we know . ciara : what , so are -- are you telling me that will is innocent ? victor : he is . ciara : no , this -- this does n't make any sense . if will did n't kill sonny 's mother ... then are you saying that the two of you killed adrienne ? ciara : okay , you need to tell me what 's going on right now . did the two of you kill adrienne and let will go to prison for it ? victor : of course not . xander : we would never . ciara : so what are you saying ? who did kill adrienne ? xander : it does n't matter . ciara : it does n't matter ? xander : the point is we had nothing to do with her death or jordan 's . you 've been barking up the wrong tree for months , ciara . is n't that right , uncle vic ? victor : i 'm afraid so . clyde : we 're having a private conversation , and you better stay out of it , or i 'll -- will : or you 'll do what ? you 'll try and kill me again ? because you know they 're watching you . if you try that again , you 'll just end up back in solitary . clyde : that 's the way you want to play it , horton , huh ?

[ scene_break ] abigail : i do n't think that nick wants to get away from us , but , you know , maybe he just needs to put everything that happened in salem behind him . julie : that 's ridiculous . abigail : do you want me to text him and ask him to call you ? julie : yes , please . abigail : okay . julie : thank you . tell him i will pester him every day until he answers my calls , and if necessary , i will bodily track him down . abigail : [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] sami : [ scoffs ] god , ej . i mean , just when i convinced myself that you sacrifice because you love me , you -- you remind me of how much i owe you . for the record , it is stefano 's fault what happened to bernardi . ej : okay . you were just doing a good deed , were you ? sami : i was ! ej : do you see the irony here , samantha ? your family was so concerned about you marrying into this evil dimera clan , and yet , compared to you , for the last six months , i look like gandhi . sami : i do n't see how the situation with abigail makes you so noble . ej : really ? the situation with abigail was all about helping you . sami : what are you talking about ? ej : you and kate neglected to tell gabi that kate was sending text messages to nick 's family using his telephone . gabi just about had a nervous breakdown when abigail received a text message from dear , dead cousin nick . sami : oh , my god . ej : yeah . she was so concerned with gabi 's reaction that she went all the way off to see hope so that they could go and find nick together . sami : why did n't you tell me ? ej : because you were n't there , samantha . so i took care of it , as usual . and now the three of you do n't have to go to jail . sami : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] gabi : i was trying to think about what to get the man who has everything . i mean , do you think ej will like 'em ? kate : oh , yeah . i 'm sure that he 'll love them . so , how did that conversation go with abigail ? gabi : [ sighs ] well , she was kind of suspicious at first , but i think that she bought it in the end . kate : so ej worked his magic ? gabi : yeah , i 'm just -- [ sighs ] i 'm just so glad that he 's on our side . i mean , it 's like , for the first time , i 'm starting to think that things are gon na be okay .

my gosh , it 's a wonder that he is not in jail right now . jennifer : eve , yes , that is all common knowledge . jj was a boy in a lot of pain because he lost his father , who he adored . so yeah , he did some really stupid , self - destructive things . but you know what , that is in his past and everyone that knows jj can see that . except for you for some reason , because the minute he started dating paige , you have been after him . you have been trying to break them apart . you have been literally trying to ruin his life . eve : do n't you think you 're being just a little bit melodramatic here ? jennifer : no , i do n't . but i do n't understand why , because other than the fact that , yes , he is my son , what has he ever done to you ? jj : we 're not done . really ? well , that 's not the idea i got when you called me from l.a . paige : but i thought we were never coming back ! you know that ! you know i did n't really want -- jj : i did n't know anything , paige , except that you said that i was never gon na see you again . do you really want to get into what that felt like ?

hope : i appreciate that you 're worried about what i would think if you kept the house , but the truth is , is that ... aiden , it does n't matter to me what you do with it . if chase loves it , do not get rid of it on my account . abigail : i - i will -- i 'm gon na text her , and i will tell her that you 're looking for her . anne : thank you . you can also tell her i have some serious concerns about this little project of yours . and i think the three of us need to have a discussion . ben : all right . i have to get to work . abigail : oh -- uh . see you later , okay . uh ... did you check the p.t . room ? anne : oh , my god , what a brilliant idea and i never would have thought of it . yes , of course i checked the p.t . room and i left her messages -- nothing . the girl 's gone awol . clyde : all right . what do you want to say to me ? jordan : that i am done . i am done trying to figure out what goes on in that twisted head of yours . and if marlena evans somehow figures it out , then she deserves a nobel prize or something . clyde : well , i know you do n't want to believe it , but that woman 's been helping me . jordan : yeah . yeah , i can really tell you are a new man . clyde : i know how close i came to hitting you , but i did n't . jordan : what do you want , a medal ? clyde : well , how am i supposed to act ? you march in here and call me the devil . all i did was ... give you what you wanted . paige : you say you did what millions of guys have done before you . but you 're not like that . jj : no , i 'm special . paige : you are . at least , i thought you were . jj : well , maybe you just never read me right . i was never pretending to be a saint . how could i ? 'cause ever since i met you , people have been lining up to tell you what a creep i am . paige : but i did n't listen to those people . i did n't even listen to my own mother . jj : well maybe you should start . 'cause life would go a lot easier for you . paige : you -- you told me you loved me . jj : yeah . i know . but i do n't . truth is , i really do n't need you in my face right now . uh , you 're kinda starting to bore me . eve : it 's what jj has done to paige , that 's the point , jennifer . jennifer : he is crazy about her . or , he was . but you did something . you -- you did something to come between them . eve : is that what your little liar told you ? jennifer : really ? is that why you came here ? to find out if jj told me what you did ? well , you do n't have to worry because he did n't tell me a thing , but i really wish that he would have , 'cause i would tell him never to give up on someone that he cares so much about . eve : look . did it ever occur to you just to mind your own business here ? jennifer : no . what occurs to me is that i promise you , i am not giving up . because i do n't understand why jj and paige are n't together , but i 'm telling you , i am gon na do everything i can to fix whatever it is that you did to him . eve : do n't you make me out the villain here because your son is not the saint that you think he has become . jennifer : oh , really ? eve : yeah , that 's right . he 's still the same bad boy he always was , believe me . i know that for a fact . when it comes to medicare , everyone talks aiden : hope , i 've had lots of reasons for wanting to sell that house . hope : i know . i know , i know , i know . but chase seemed so upset . aiden : maybe it 's painful to sell the house right now . but i think in the long run , it 'll be better for him . i know it 'll be better for us . hope : i just told you that i was fine . aiden : i know what you just told me . and i love you for caring so much about my son 's feelings . i love you ... period . i do n't want anything to come between us . okay ? not now , not in the future . trust me about the house , okay ? i know what i 'm doing .

anne : well , like the protocol for handling future donations . i know a little bit about tax law and i think the way you girls set it up , it could wind up costing the hospital bundles . abigail : go to page 34 . and the footnotes in the back . number 16 . anne : good lord , i have to read footnotes to understand this thing ? abigail : just read it , please , anne . anne : but it 's just a bunch of legalese . abigail : right , that 's 'cause a lawyer wrote it . but i believe it covers your concern . anne : fine . abigail : great . um ... but i do think maybe we could change the language so that it 's not so confusing . anne : yes , that is -- is my point exactly . anne : okay , great . well then i guess we are on the same page . anne : okay , well . who knows , maybe the three of us will be able to work together after all . abigail : yeah . anne : okay . well , you will tell jordan about this little conversation we had if she chooses to show up ? abigail : yes , i will . as soon as i find her . anne : well , i 'm sure she 's out with her board member boyfriend or her , you know , rich step - daddy who funded her charity . some people just have all the luck . abigail : yeah . clyde : so what do i get ? out of having you found out i gave that money , huh ? nothing . look at you . you still hate me . maybe worse than before . now ben , i 'm glad he knows . feels good to have my boy just a little bit proud of me , you know . maybe thinking i 'm not so bad after all . jordan : you wrote one check . you think that 's gon na erase all of ben 's memories of the beatings and the verbal abuse ? clyde : if i 'm so evil , how come i 've spent all these years covering for you , huh ? answer me that , tammy sue . your eyes really are unique . john : i should have just asked you straight out . so what do you think i should do about abe 's offer ? marlena : i think -- i think i want to see you do something that you love . and you -- you 're the happiest when you 're being productive . when you 're helping people . because that 's exactly who you are . john : and you know who you are . you are a beautiful woman that never fails to amaze and fascinate me . hope : having john back would be great for morale . abe : yeah , yeah . i know it 's low after what happened with rafe . hope : yeah , i know . abe : is that why you 've been kind of quiet . hope : yeah , and -- well , that . and a personal thing . abe : well , you do n't have to tell me about it . unless you want to . hope : you know i 've been dating aiden jennings , right ? hey , let 's sit down . well , i just came from a very , uh , emotional conversation with him . he 's really serious about us . abe : well , that 's a good thing . hope : yeah . i -- i 've ... i 've really grown to like him . a lot . abe : then what 's the problem ? hope : there is no problem . i want my life to be back under my control , and i 'm taking it . which is why i 'm moving on , abe . abe : so what is it ? hope : i think i was starting to realize just how different aiden and bo really are . aiden : look . i know you do n't like the fact that i 'm selling the house . but to say that hope put me up to it , it 's not only untrue , it 's unkind . chase : i 'm sorry , dad . aiden : i know you 're sorry . but i expect the next time you see hope , you 're gon na apologize to her . chase : i will . aiden : i mean ... i talked to you about what it means to be a gentleman , right ? chase : but dad , you ca n't sell the house . i love going there and mom did too . you just ca n't . aiden : i 've already made up my mind , buddy . chase : but mom 's stuff 's still there . kite she made me . my kayak -- are you just gon na throw that stuff away ? aiden : no , i 'm not gon na throw that stuff . are you kidding me ? no , i 'm gon na have it all sent here . you can kayak on the lake . i know that it hurts right now . but we can make a life here . a really good one . and i believe that 's the best way to -- to stop the hurting . i made this decision , chase . and i made it because i think it 's the best thing for you . you believe that , do n't you ? chase : no . jj : remember awhile back when you told me that there would probably be a lot of girls in my life ? well , you know what , i 'm -- i 'm in college now and i just -- i just figured that you were right . why tie myself down ? jennifer : uh - huh . you know , since you came back from school , uh , i think that we have gotten really close . close enough for me to know when you 're telling me the truth and when you 're shining me on . so you sound sincere and you look really convincing . and most people would buy what you just said . but i am not . i am not buying it for one minute . eve : here , honey . you just tell me what happened . paige : you were right . jj , he does n't want to see me anymore . it was n't just that . he was so mean . eve : oh , honey . paige : he was like a different person . it 's like -- it 's like he turned into a different person . he was n't the jj i know . eve : well ... boys can be like that , sweetheart . you know , you leave the room and then they go on and check out the next available talent . paige : mom . eve : i know . i know , you thought he was different . paige : i thought he loved me . like , an hour ago . i still thought that . you do n't do what he did to people you love , right ? eve : well . i know that words can hurt . honey , they 're just words . paige : no . i 'm not talking about what he said . i 'm talking about what he did . while i was in l.a. , you know , because grandpa was sick . eve : mm - hmm . paige : jj , he -- he slept with someone else . ben : so why do you even know about victor 's new place ? and why are you so interested in what sonny does ? rafe : just curious , i guess . ben : oh . rafe : too much time on my hands . ben : right . i 'm sorry . rafe : no . well , i 'm gon na head out . but , uh , if you hear anything useful about chad , i would n't mind hearing about it . ben : oh , yeah ? rafe : yeah . just 'cause i 'm off the police force does n't mean i 'm gon na stop keeping an eye on the guy . ben : good . nothing . come on , jordan . where the hell are you ? jordan : do n't start with me again . what happened with my mother was an accident ! i loved her and i would never , ever hurt her . clyde : well , you 've been telling yourself that for so long , you almost make it sound like the truth . but it 's not the truth . you hated me . you wanted your momma to leave me . she would n't do it . so you started to hate her too . jordan : do n't tell me how i feel ! clyde : oh , she loved me , tammy sue . she was n't going anywhere . and she told you that . and she also said she had some news for you . and when you found out what it was , that changed everything . and that was the day your momma died . jordan : what news ? i do n't even know what you 're talking about ! clyde : oh , yes you do . maybe it 's time you let yourself remember everything about that day , tammy sue . rafe : victor ? yeah , i 've been thinking about your offer . still on the table ? okay . then , uh ... i 'm in . well , because as much as i might like to leave town , gabi needs me here . so when are you thinking about opening this joint ? seriously ? no -- no , no , no . you 're right . fish or cut bait . hope : i know bo brady better than anyone else . well ... i used to . abe : and you do n't think you know aiden as well . is that the kind of thing that comes with time ? hope : i do n't know . maybe . bo , uh ... he certainly was n't an open book . it was like pulling teeth to get any information out of him . but you know , with aiden just now , it just -- i mean , i could tell that he was trying to be completely honest with me . but sometimes i feel like ... there 's a lot more to the story . do you know what i mean ? chase : there 's billy and his mom . she said we could have a play date after she got done shopping . could i go ? aiden : okay . but we 're gon na finish this conversation later , okay ? jennifer : jj , i love you so much . and i know that you do n't want to open up to me because you 're so afraid of how i 'll react or -- or -- or what i 'll think . but you do n't have to worry . there is nothing that you ca n't confide in me , nothing . that i wo n't try to help you with . jj : really ? 'cause i was thinking that i would help with my college expenses by holding up a few liquor stores . jennifer : that is not even funny . i 'm serious , you -- you need help . i can see it . please , baby , just tell me what it is . i am the one person who will always be on your side . eve : j -- jj said that he slept with somebody else ? i mean , he said that out loud , paige ? you 're not just thinking that ? paige : no , mom , he told me that . that 's not all . he slept with someone i know . abigail : hey . ben : hey . abigail : hi . have you heard from jordan ? is she still mad at you ? ben : no , i have n't even seen her . i figured she showed up to that meeting with anne . why , she did n't ? abigail : no , i have n't heard a word from her . i thought she was with you . ben : no , i have n't heard anything either . where the hell is she ? jordan : you 're just making up lies like you always do . no ! clyde : it is time you face up to what you did , girl . you not only killed your own momma , she was pregnant . that 's what she told you ! and that 's what made you do what you did . you killed the baby she was carrying , and you knew you were doing it . you killed your own momma . and you killed our baby boy right along with her . | aiden wanted to explain why he snapped at hope . paige thought jj slept with someone she knew . eve let jennifer know that she does n't know her son . clyde wanted to let jordan know that he was tired of taking her crap . jj tried to walk away but paige stopped him . jennifer wanted to know what jj did . eve decided to tell her . when jordan bit clyde , he was ready to hit her . he told her to leave , but she did n't want to do it . abe offered john rafe 's old job . rafe talked to marlena about losing his job . aiden apologized to hope for snapping at her . she apologized to him too . eve reminded jennifer that jj used to sell drugs . jennifer did n't accept eve 's answer and wanted to know what he did . jj tied to blame paige for why he cheated . |
eric : thank you for staying for dinner . you know , making me laugh . just finding nicole and losing her again ... your friendship , it guided -- guided me through it . sarah : my -- my whole life fell apart in front of a room full of people , and ... you got me through it . [ stammers , sighs ] you know , you , um ... you told me once that i was easy to be with , and ... i feel the same way about you . [ tender music ] [ knocking on door ] eric : wonder who that could be ? i 'm not expecting anybody . rex , i -- what are you doing here ? rex : is that any way to greet your favorite brother ? come on , man , bring it in . give me a hug . how you been ? [ tense music ] sarah . sarah : hello , rex . melinda : i hate to add more stress to your life . haley : but you 're gon na do it anyway , right ? melinda : you 're gon na have to move out of my place . haley : and go where on what i make ? melinda : i 'll help out with your rent as much as i can . haley : [ scoffs ] melinda : i -- i do n't want my sister on the street . haley : when do i have to go ? melinda : as soon as possible . tomorrow . i made some plans , and unfortunately the plans make it necessary for me to put some space between us . haley : and what are these plans ? melinda : i ca n't say just yet , but no one can know that you and i are related . [ approaching footsteps ] haley : jj . what are you doing here ? jj : [ stammers ] i -- i , uh , came back to find you . disappeared on me in the middle of our conversation . i was -- i was worried . haley : you do n't have to worry about me . i 'm fine . jj : no , you 're not . heard you on that call before , remember ? you seemed pretty upset , just like you do now . but i know who you were talking to . [ tense music ] chad : i know that you told jennifer you came back to salem with revenge in your heart . eve : mm , i get it . you want me to give up on jack so you can win some brownie points with his daughter . am i right ? there was a time when i could be bought . not anymore . [ suspenseful music ] chad : spent a huge chunk of your money trying to get rid of eve donovan tonight . here 's to hoping that it ... [ sighs ] worked . and that abby had a wonderful night with her family . [ door opens ] jack : what were we like ? jennifer : `` a sea ... nourished with loving tears . a madness most discreet ... both : a choking gall ... preserving sweet . `` jack : it 's no wonder we both remember that speech . jennifer : jack , there was so much pain and -- and so much heartache . but in spite of that , i really believe that we built a wonderful life together . and i believe that we can do that again . [ tender music sours ] jack : no . no , i do n't believe we can . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] kayla : steve , it 's me . i 'm just -- i 'm just calling to celebrate . well , i 'm sure you have already heard , but they 've indicted stefan for treason . i can not begin to tell you how happy it makes me just the thought of him rotting in a federal prison . i just hope it means that the fbi is wrapping up their case , and you can come home now . it 's been too long , my love . i know that you -- you want to see jack , too . i -- i do n't know what else -- eve : i do n't know if that 's gon na happen . jack 's missing . jennifer : why would you say that ? why would you even think that we could n't build a life together again , jack ? jack : what is that saying ? [ stammers ] about two -- two people who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it . we have been divorced twice . i 'm guessing there 's a reason for that . stop trying so hard , jennifer , please . please . you 're trying so hard . admit it : i 'm not the family man that you made me out to be . jennifer : i do n't know what what you 're thinking , jack , but there is no deep , dark secret that i am keeping from you . yes . we had our share of big problems , but that does not change the fact that you are a loving father and a very devoted husband . jack : and a rapist . chad : i 'm sorry . it was a crazy plan . i was n't even gon na , uh -- i was n't even sure you were gon na go . abigail : well , i almost didn't . why did n't just be honest with me and tell me that you were planning a dinner with my family ? i mean , that would have saved me so much anxiety knowing that you were n't gon na be there . chad : i was n't sure your father was even gon na go . and -- and if he did n't and i -- abigail : i -- i know . he told me that you had to pay him off . chad : he was n't supposed to tell you that part . abigail : of course not . chad : [ laughs ] abigail : is it so hard for you to just be honest with me ? i 'll start . i -- i will start . i did not want to see you tonight . julie guilted me into it . i was sure that there was nothing you could say or do to move me . but in the interest of honesty , i ... will admit that ... you did ... move me . i see that you were trying to do something really special for me , and -- and to provide some healing for my family . and that means a lot to me . so ... thank you . [ mellow music ] rex : maybe i should have called first . am i interrupting something ? ( mom ) is that for me ? eric : no , no , no . of course you 're not interrupting . rex : um , sorry . i did n't -- i did n't expect to see you here . sarah : why are you here , rex ? should n't you be back in chicago with mimi and your baby girl ? i figured you 'd all be a happy family by now . rex : no , no , i -- i did convince mimi to move to chicago so she could be nearby , but there 's -- there 's nothing romantic between us at all , 'cause she 's not the woman that i want . the woman that i want is -- is you , sarah . melinda : well , mr . deveraux , seems like you 're a serial eavesdropper . jj : i found haley lying on the floor of the on - call room after she od 'd . she almost died right in front of me . she probably would have if i had n't been there . i 'd like to keep her alive , ms . trask . maybe you -- you do n't care -- melinda : of course i care . jj : 'cause you 're related ? that is what you said just now , is n't it ? haley : jj -- jj , please . just stay out of this . jj : it 's -- it 's too late . so what 's the deal ? are -- are you her mother ? melinda : excuse me . do i look old enough to be her mother ? jj : then how are you related ? melinda : simple . haley is my fellow chinese - american . our community is rather small here in salem , so ... we have to stick together . like family . jj : except it did n't sound like you were sticking together . it sounded more like you 're tossing haley out of your life , so why do n't you give me an honest answer ? why do n't you want people to know you 're related ? what are you hiding ? [ tense music ] kayla : call me when you get this , all right , steve ? i love you . what do you mean , `` jack is missing `` ? eve : i do n't know , kayla . we had plans tonight , i got back to the hotel , and he was gone . kayla : you ever think that maybe he was just trying to get away from you ? eve : you know , all this hostility is really uncalled for . in case you 've forgotten , i 'm the one that reunited jack with his family . kayla : oh , yeah , i 'm aware . but i also know that the real reason that you did it was so that you could rub this so - called `` relationship `` with him in all of our faces . eve : you think i would go to all that trouble -- kayla : oh , come on , you do n't need to deny it . we both know that you despise jennifer . and the temptation to actually cause her pain was just too good to pass up . and adrienne and steve , well , you do n't really care about them . you claim that you care about jack -- eve : i do care about jack . kayla : well , then think about what he 's going through . eve : what ? you 're painting him as a victim , here . i mean , really ? after what he did to you ? he raped you , kayla . kayla : thanks for the reminder . eve : being mighty forgiving . what , are you bucking for sainthood ? hmm ? i mean , if i were you i 'd be really worried if my attacker were roaming the streets of salem . kayla : and yet , you are perfectly happy to share a room with him . eve : i 'm not worried about jack attacking me . we have an understanding . we 're cut from the same cloth . kayla : jack never loved you , and we both know it . jennifer is his true love , and that 's why they are going to find their way back to each other . eve : oh , you 're so sure about that , are n't you ? kayla : yeah , i am , actually , because they always do . and when that happens , you 're gon na be out in the cold , again . so why do n't you do yourself a favor and leave town ... so you do n't have to experience that pain ? eve : `` that pain . `` really ? you 're not worried about me getting hurt . you just want me out of this town just like everybody else does . well , i got news for you : chad is running dimera enterprises again , and he just offered me a very sweet deal . in paris . but too bad for you . i am gon na turn him down flat , because i 'm not leaving this town until i get exactly what i came here for . jack : how could you ever fall in love with someone like me ? maybe it was just pity after all . maybe it was n't love . is that why it did n't stick ? jennifer : no , of course not . jack : but i kept hurting you and hurting you , and running away and running away time and time again . now , yes , of course , in time maybe you and i would find our way back together , but history would just repeat itself . jennifer : no , but jack -- jack : i should n't be with someone like you . someone who only sees the good in other people . who 's selfless and kind . the only reason i 'm here tonight , after all , is because of the money . i should be with someone more like -- more like me . someone more like eve , and not like you . chad : look , since we 're being , uh , since we 're being honest with one another i should probably tell you that i offered eve donovan a job tonight . in paris . abigail : did she take it ? jack : she 's thinking about it . i know money ca n't fix all of our problems , i just -- i just figured if she does accept ... then your parents may have a stronger chance of being able to work things out . abigail : i hope they do . [ laughs softly ] chad : how was it tonight ? with your family . abigail : it was , uh , it was pretty good , actually . um , yeah , it was ... it was nice . i mean , of course , uh , you were right . my dad did not want to be there at first , but after a while he warmed up and -- you know , there was a moment where it really felt like it was back to the old days -- just the four of us again -- and that was ... special . abigail : except i knew that it was n't going to last . which is exactly how it is in our little family . rex : sarah , i made a terrible mistake , and i have spent the past few months in chicago just riddled with -- with guilt and -- and regret -- not just because of what i did but because ... i did n't try hard enough to make things right . i gave up on us way too easily , and that 's why i came back . to fight for you . sarah : what about your daughter ? you just abandoning her ? rex : what ? no . god , no . no , like i said , they 're -- they 're in chicago , they 're nearby . i can get there any time . i made a commitment to raising my little girl but , sarah , i also made a commitment to you . sarah : [ scoffs ] well , that commitment was n't honored , rex . in fact , you made a mockery of it , so why even bring it up ? because it 's meaningless to me now . rex : no , it 's -- it 's not to me . and sarah , i would not be able to live with myself if i did n't do everything in my power to prove to you that i will never jeopardize the most important thing in my life , and that 's you . and that 's us . this -- this past new year 's eve all i could do was -- was think about you , because that 's the night that you and i were supposed to be married . eric : you know , why do n't i let you two talk ? sarah : no . stay . please . and fyi , i did n't give you a single thought on new year 's eve . rex : look , i know that this is not gon na be easy , okay ? i know it 's gon na take a lot of work . i know how angry you were when you found about mimi and me , and how angry you still are . and you know what ? you have every right to be . sarah , you and i were in love . our feelings for each other were so strong , and you know what ? i do n't think you 're over 'em yet . in fact , i know you 're not . sarah : you 're right . i 'm not . melinda : mr. deveraux , i suggest you avoid cross - examining the d.a . you 're not likely to win . haley : please , jj . just forget you saw us together . well , i 'm -- i 'm not -- not gon na forget . she 's obviously upsetting you . why do n't we get out of here ? let me take you for a -- for a cup of coffee . haley : please , jj . just go . jj : fine . but if you want to talk , you know where to find me . [ uneasy music ] kayla : you think it is n't obvious why you came back to salem ? it is n't about wanting jack . it 's about revenge . but is that really gon na fill the hole inside of you ? that loneliness that eats away at your soul . eve : you know , kayla , maybe you should worry about your own soul . see , i 'm not the one that 's going home to a cold , empty bed every night . kayla : i ca n't imagine what it must have been like when you lost paige . i mean , she was just such a wonderful young woman . really , one of the most promising students i ever had the opportunity to mentor . how do you think she would feel if she saw what you were up to ? eve : do n't you dare . kayla : i know your daughter loved you , and i 'm sure you want to live a life that honors her . but salem just holds all these painful memories . do you really want to subject yourself to that kind of pain ? it happens every time you come back . why do n't you try to break the cycle ? and take a chance on a fresh start . jennifer : you are nothing like eve . i -- i know that you have things in your past that you regret , jack . so do i . but you know what , did kayla tell you ? did she tell you that you had an abusive father ? and that -- that you were given up for adoption and you ended up with senator harper deveraux , who was so violent and so disturbed . jack ... you were traumatized . jack : `` traumatized `` ? [ stammering ] this is not an excuse to abuse another person ... jennifer : no , you 're right ... jack : violate another person ! jennifer : you 're right . it 's not an excuse . it 's a reason . and maybe you can look at that reason and -- and try to forgive yourself . i know it helped me to forgive you , jack . and look -- look , every time i had struggles , i had this wonderful family to support me . they loved me no matter what . you had no one . you had to fight all of these demons on your own . you had to do it by yourself , but you know what , jack ? you did it . you fought so hard . you went to therapy , you -- you paid your dues to society . and ... years later ... when i was raped ... you were the one who helped me through it , because i never thought i could ever love or trust another man again . but you loved me and you supported me , and that is what got me through it . but you did n't even believe it , jack . you did n't give yourself credit for anything because you never -- you never felt worthy . you blamed yourself for everything that went wrong , even our daughter . when abigail got sick you blamed yourself , but really you 're the one who got us through it , because you have this gigantic heart . and you have this ... generous spirit ... and this crazy ... wicked sense of humor . jack : [ sighs ] jennifer : but because of your childhood ... every time someone gets close to you , you want to run away . and i am not going to let you do that now , or ever again . chad : we could be a family again . abigail : chad , i -- chad : let me . can i ... say something ? i know you did n't want to see me tonight . makes sense . but you came to the restaurant . you came here . i know you 're angry . you have every right to be . despite everything that has happened , i ca n't deny my feelings for you . i ca n't deny how badly i want to hold you . ca n't deny how badly i want to kiss you . [ romantic music ] abigail : [ moans ] no , i can't . [ stammers ] we ca n't do -- this is why i did n't want to be near you . this is -- i can't . [ sighs ] these feelings , and this -- this just pulls me back to you every single time , and i am not ready . i am not ready to be vulnerable with you . we have to -- we have to rebuild our trust . chad : [ stammers ] i 'm do -- i -- i 'm willing to work on that . abigail : i know you are . i 'm -- i do n't know if i am . it goes both ways . i have to be ready , too , and i -- i broke your trust when i slept with stefan . chad : i do n't blame -- i do n't blame you for that . abigail : yes , you do . chad : no , i don't . abigail : come on , yes you do . of course you do . a part of you does , at least . otherwise you would have been able to accept charlotte for exactly what she was , which was a beautiful miracle no matter who her father was . but instead , every single time that you saw me when i was pregnant , you were reminded about the night that i betrayed you . you did n't even think that you could love charlotte , and that is the one thing i do n't know if i can get past . kayla : as long as you 're in salem , you are always gon na be reminded of paige 's death , and it 's just so much harder to move past the pain . especially now that ben weston 's in town . would i be happy if you left town for jennifer 's sake ? of course i would . but for yours , too . eve : jj . i 've been looking everywhere for your father . have you seen him ? jj : yeah , actually , i -- i did . he 's with my mom . alone . eve : what ? where ? jj : that 's none of your business . eve : well -- you know what ? fine . i 'll find him myself . jj : eve , do n't -- [ overlapping speech ] kayla : let her go . [ edgy music ] jennifer : you 're a journalist , jack . a terrific journalist . you taught me to be a champion of truth . and your children ? you are the most loving father . they adore you . they think you hung the moon . and me ? i married you because i loved you with all of my heart . i still do . and i do n't care what else you have forgotten . i know deep down inside you have never -- you could n't forget our love , jack . so i am begging you to -- to forget all of this . forget the noise , forget the lies that eve is whispering in your ears and just look at me . listen to me . listen to your heart , jack .

[ chuckles ] brady : i mean , what i wanted to say was -- what i wanted to say was something that you do n't say in front of a woman 's father . melanie : really ? brady : yeah , really . but then , my god . then i -- but another part of me was so worried about , i do n't want to hold out on a good friend like daniel , and -- are we crazy for even thinking about this ? melanie : i was just gon na ask you the same thing . chad : you ca n't blame yourself for what happened . abigail : ben never wanted to keep clyde 's donation a secret from jordan . it was me . i 'm the one who was afraid that jordan would refuse the donation if she found out that it was from him . chad : yeah , because you want to know what 's important , is getting this project up and running and making it a success . and if ben is gon na stay mad at you , then -- well , then you know what ? he 's just a fool who does n't appreciate how good he has it with someone like you . abigail : thanks . chad : you 're welcome . hey . i 've been looking all over for you . are you okay ? jordan : yeah , i 'm fine . why would n't i be ? [ sighs ] abigail : jordan , i 'm really sorry about all this . jordan : no , no , no . you know what ? i am the one that should be sorry . i overreacted , and then i pulled a disappearing act , and -- especially when we have so much work to get done today . i 'm sorry , but i 've already wasted so much of our time today . chad : okay . abigail : i do n't know if you want to maybe get started . if you do n't want to -- jordan : no , no . yeah , that 's okay . abigail : okay . clyde : well , i just wanted to apologize for sticking you in the middle of this mess . i think your sister 's gotten beyond the shock and surprise and is starting to see how much good that money 'll do . maybe she can start seeing how much a man can change too , huh ? that 's not too much to hope for , is it ? ben : if she 's okay with it , i 'm okay with it . i guess we 'll just see what happens next . clyde : oh , i know exactly what happens next . you 're starting school tomorrow , are n't you ? ben : i 'm really looking forward to it . clyde : you always were a good student . ben : anyway , i got to be going . i 'm on break from work . clyde : yeah , i wo n't keep you . oh ! hello . [ laughs ] kate : hi . clyde : uh ... ben : hi . clyde : am i late for our dinner date ? i lost track of the time . i was -- you know my son , ben , do n't you ? kate : yes , i do . hi . ben : hi . kate : no . and -- no , you 're not late . actually , i came over here to apologize . i 'm sure ben told you that i was the idiot who pressured him into telling that you were the anonymous donor for the charity . clyde : come on . no apology necessary . all 's well that ends well , right , ben ? ben : i guess so . anyway , i was just telling clyde i have to get back to work . kate : oh , okay . clyde : take care , son . daphne : i got your text . how are you doing ? paige : i guess the scene i made with jj in the lounge has n't made the rounds yet . daphne : what happened ? paige : well , the high point was me slapping him across the face . daphne : [ laughs ] oh , he had it coming . did he tell you who he hooked up with ? paige : but i 'm sure it was somebody that i know . daphne : this is killing you , is n't it ? paige : it 's pretty bad . daphne : i 'm sorry . i feel really guilty for pushing you to have it out with him . maybe you should just -- i do n't know . forget about him ? paige : yeah , that 's -- that 's what my mom wants me to do too . jj : what do you want ? eve : are you insane ? are you trying to make things worse here ? jj : no , i 'm trying to fix it . eve : by telling paige that you slept with somebody ? how 's that fixing it , jj ? jj : well , i figured it would be it for her and me . is n't that what you wanted ? eve : not if she 's trying to figure out who it is . she is convinced that she knows the woman . jj : well , i never said that . eve : no , no . you -- she brought it up . you just had that guilty look on your face . yeah , apparently you 're just a jim dandy of a liar to everybody else but her . but i want to know why i 'm hearing it from my daughter and not from you . jj : i do n't owe you a damn thing . eve : no . you owe paige , damn it . and you better not mess this up . living with chronic migraine daniel : well , this is a surprise . jennifer : yeah . um , i was really calling to ask you a huge favor . it 's about jj . daniel : is something wrong ? jennifer : could we talk about it in person ? daniel : uh , well , i only have a minute right now , and then i 'm busy tonight . jennifer : uh , how 'bout tomorrow ? daniel : fine . jennifer : there 's just something going on with him , and , uh , i do n't think that i can help him the way you can . daniel : i 'd do anything for jj . you know that . jennifer : i am so grateful to hear you say that , and i really appreciate it . so , um , i 'll check my schedule , and i 'll give you a call tomorrow , okay ? thank you . bye - bye . okay . i just hope this works . and if it does n't , i 'm gon na keep on trying . eve : did you tell your little pothead friends about us ? jj : no . do you think i would want anybody to know that ? eve : well , then why 'd you shoot your mouth off to paige ? jj : okay , all i said was -- eve : was the stupidest thing you could 've said , 'cause now she 's trying to figure out who the woman is . jj : well , tell her that that would just make things worse . eve : i did , jj , but i still do n't think she 's gon na drop it , all right ? jj : okay , she will , because she hates me , and i 'm the last person that she wants to think about right now . eve : well , you know what ? you better hope that 's true , 'cause i am all she has right now , and if you take that away from her by telling her about us , it will destroy her . it will destroy her , jj , and you know it . and if you love her as much as you say that you do ... jj : yeah , i love her . eve : well , then you know that she can not ever , ever find out about us . daphne : do n't you think the best thing to do is to just -- paige : what ? forget about it ? daphne : maybe . paige : jj was like the best thing that ever happened to me . daphne : he cheated on you . paige : well , that was because i told him my mom and i were never coming back from l.a . he thought he 'd lost me . that 's when some little bitch got to him . i 'm gon na find out who she is if it 's the last thing i ever do , and i 'm gon na make her as miserable as she 's made me . abigail : anne cornered me today . jordan : ugh , now what ? abigail : yeah , she said that she has some very serious reservations about our project . jordan : great . abigail : i know . she wants to have a meeting with the two of us . jordan , are you sure you 're okay ? i mean , i know you 're not okay , but you seem like you 're a little distracted , and we absolutely do n't have to do this right now . jordan : no , no . i 'm just tired . oh , uh , we need to make copies of the revisions that we made to give to anne and seth burns . abigail : yeah , i 'll go do it . jordan : okay . abigail : i 'll definitely -- i 'll just get on that right now . jordan : thank you . abigail : yeah . jordan , i 'm really glad that we 're working this out . jordan : me too . abigail : okay . clyde : mm . kate : [ chuckles ] clyde : woman , you are a master . kate : well , i gather you saw some of the online coverage . clyde : i have . [ both chuckle ] kate : you know , chad thinks that they 're making you out to be a saint , but i think you undersold it . working so hard not to take credit for all that generosity -- that 's a move worthy of tom horton . clyde : who 's that ? kate : the patron saint of this town . clyde : hmm . kate : the real one . clyde : well , i would like to be a fly on the wall when victor kiriakis reads those stories . kate : why do you care what he thinks ? clyde : i do n't know . i get the feeling he just does n't like me . i just ca n't figure it out why . kate : [ chuckling ] clyde : i do n't know . maybe it 's 'cause i got you . brady : when you and i were doing that dance in front of your father back there ... melanie : yeah . brady : it occurred to me that if we were to -- if -- melanie : `` take it to the next level `` ? brady : i hate that expression so much . melanie : i know ! i know . brady : it is the most ridiculous -- melanie : me too . me too . brady : but , yeah . he could think that i 'm the worst person in the world for you , you know that ? melanie : you guys are friends . brady : when i fell off the wagon , melanie , i -- i was a jerk to him . i was to everybody . melanie : you 're sober now . you 've always been great to me . you know , my dad could think i 'm the worst person in the world for you too . brady : i ca n't imagine why . melanie : so we 're -- we 're back to -- to where we started , where we -- the talking about whether or not we should date . brady : mm - hmm . let 's get out of here . let 's -- let 's just leave this room please . let 's go . melanie : good call . no more close calls . brady : no more close calls . maggie : [ gasps ] brady : whoa . maggie : oh . | jj told jennifer that he cheated on paige . eve asked if paige knew who jj slept with . clyde told jordan that she killed her mother and her mother 's baby . paige said jj did n't tell her the person 's name . paige talked to eve about the person who slept with jj . jennifer wanted to know who he slept with . jj said he hates the woman . jordan did n't believe clyde . he forced her to remember what happened to her mother . chad confronted kate about what happened during the press conference at the hospital . clyde continued to taunt jordan about what she did to her mother . jordan finally remembered what happened . clyde warned her that he would tell ben what she did to their mother and his baby brother if she tried to come between him and ben . jj did n't get a chance to tell jennifer about the woman he was with because maggie showed up . |
[ suspenseful music ] kayla : ah , good morning . steve : morning . hope you slept well . you deserve it after the last couple days . what 's with the suitcase ? kayla : i got an email that i need to go before the , uh , national donor organization . steve : what , they already found out you gave daniel 's heart to brady ? kayla : without consulting them -- yeah . steve : who turned you in ? kayla : it could have been anybody . um ... i have to fly to d.c. tonight . steve : well , you can make a case for that decision . kayla : i hope so . you seem ... so distracted . is everything all right ? steve : not really . you know , um ... i went to ava 's to return those pictures that she dropped ... of the baby . kayla : and that upset you ? steve : she claims he 's mine . [ dramatic music ] [ knock at door ] ava : joey . joey : why are n't you answering any of my texts ? ava : come in . joey : you do n't want anything to do with me anymore ? ava : okay , calm -- calm down . do n't stand out there in the hall . come in . i - i 'm not avoiding you . i 've just -- i 've been busy . joey : doing what ? ava : does it matter ? joey : it does to me . ava : okay , joey , we ca n't have that much contact anymore , all right ? what if your parents find out that i helped you get them back together ? what if julie williams saw you come in here ? she 'll go straight to them . joey : are you dumping me ? abigail : good . you guys are both here . jennifer : hey . how 's that little baby ? abigail : he 's great . i fed him , gave him a bath , and i put him to sleep . jj : why 're you glad we 're both here ? abigail : well , uh , because i have some good news . okay . chad asked me to marry him . and i said yes . jj : are you nuts ? andré : yeah , i want you to find out if father is in paris . i wan na know how he got there and who he 's with . well , of course i checked to see if he used the dimera jet . would you stop -- stop asking me stupid questions and just get out there and find him . you i 've got to talk to . chad : keep it short . i 'm just here to pack up the rest of my stuff , and then i 'm out of here for good . andré : ha - have you had any contact ... with father in the last 12 hours ? chad : i got a text from him saying he was going somewhere in europe because hope brady figured out what he did . what 's that about ? andré : i do n't know . i got the same text . just does n't seem like him not to speak to us directly . do you agree ? chad : could n't care less . wherever he is , i hope he loves the place ... and that it 's very far from me , abigail , and our son . as a matter of fact , you should think about going there too . [ tense music ] rafe : hope ... you 're not thinking straight . hope : yes , i am , but you know what ? you 're right . i ca n't say that stefano had malcolm killed and made it look like i did it . rafe : yeah , because then they 're gon na look for stefano . we do n't want that . hope : exactly . but what if ... what if i said that i killed malcolm ... that it was in self - defense ? then i keep stefano out of it , and i may just beat this rap . rafe : i do n't know . there were n't any witnesses . hope : which i would think would work in my favor . rafe : are you telling me that you are ready to confess to a crime that you did n't commit ? hope : well , it 's a hell of a lot better than having my family watch me go to prison for a crime i did commit . ava : joey , i -- i ca n't dump you . we 're not a couple . i think you are a great guy , and i am so glad to know you , but ... we 're just friends . joey : well ... `` just friends `` at least answer each other 's texts . i hardly ever see you anymore . how 's that friendly ? ava : look , it -- it 's ... just got ta be this way for now , all right ? i ca n't see you so much anymore . joey : but that 's killing me ! okay ? i 'm like ... i 'm in love with you . kayla : ava is claiming that her child is yours ? i - i mean , i had a feeling that she was n't done messing with us , but this -- really ? does she think we 're gon na fall for this garbage ? wait a second . you believe her ? steve : i do n't know what to believe . kayla : it 's not possible . steve : sweetness ... we both know it 's possible . kayla : if she had your child , do you really think that she would wait this long to tell you about it ? steve : well , a sane person would n't , but ava , well ... kayla : well , obviously , she wants something , and she thinks this is how she 's gon na get it . steve : yeah , she definitely wants something . kayla : well , what is it ? steve : [ sighs ] she told me ... she wants to see her son ... once before she dies . and she expects me to find him . kayla : i -- [ scoffs ] rafe : you change your story and claim self - defense now , roman and justin are gon na think that that 's weird . they gave you that option at the time . you insisted on pleading not guilty -- hope : i know , just ... rafe , just hear me out , would you ? rafe : okay . hope : okay . what if i ... told them i pled not guilty because i was so traumatized after malcolm attacked me ... that i blocked out shooting him ? which is exactly what happened after i shot stefano . yeah , i 'll say that my memory failed me . but now i remember everything , and i want to do what 's right . rafe : right . and given the hell that you 've been through ... roman and justin just might buy that . and ... you can say that you 're stronger now because you 've distanced yourself between what happened that night ... hope : right . rafe : right ? and then ... malcolm attacked you . you were defending yourself . you thought that he was gon na attack your daughter and ... it was self - defense . and given your reputation , people are gon na want to believe that . hope : think they 'll buy it ? you think it 'll work ? do you ... do you ? rafe : i think you have to be 100 % sure that you want to do this . 'cause once you confess to murder , there is no going back . hope : i know . [ tense music ] jj : what happened to you taking things slow ? jennifer : honey ... yes . abigail : i realized that i do n't need to take things slowly because chad and i love each other and ... we have thomas to think of now . jj : exactly -- how can you trust that guy after the way he 's treated you ? abigail : jj , listen , that 's -- that 's all in the past , okay ? jennifer : is it ... really ? abigail : mom , are you saying that you 're siding with jj ? jennifer : honey , when you came home from the hospital with thomas , you told us that chad wanted nothing more to do with you , and you were so upset and -- abigail : right , but i knew instinctually that something did n't make sense . you guys , that 's all ... straightened out now , okay ? and ... chad and i love each other , and we want to spend the rest of our lives together . i do n't know why you guys ca n't be happy for me . jennifer : wait -- [ stammers ] do n't you think that we want that ? i wan na believe that you 're right about chad . i really wan na believe that he 's a good man -- abigail : he is a good man , mom , yes , he is . i would n't be marrying him if i did n't think so . jj : is n't that the exact same thing you said about ben ? [ somber music ] andré : how can you just turn your back so ... easily on -- on your family ? chad : after what the two of you have done to me ? it 's a piece of cake . andré : that was done ... for the sake of the greater good -- the family . la famiglia . chad : whoa ! [ laughs ] uh - oh , there 's that secret word again . should i turn into a zombie now ? sorry , but abigail broke your little hold on me . andré : oh , yeah . true power of love . chad : do n't knock it till you 've tried it . andré : yeah , well , i 've had experience , and what i found out is that the dimera men are not capable of a love that lasts . just gets in the way . and i do n't foresee ... any kind of longevity between you and abigail . chad : i do n't care what you see . abby and i are getting married . we picked a date . i would n't hold your breath for your invitation , though . so i 'm just gon na finish getting the rest of my stuff together , and then i never want to see you or the old man again . i am gon na ... miss this place , though . they just do n't build 'em like this anymore . hmm . the two of you ? not so much . andré : before you go ... i think there 's something you should probably know . ava : joey ... you 're 16 years old . you do n't know what love is . joey : do n't tell me that . ava : it 's true . joey : why would n't i love you ? you 're beautiful ... you 're sweet . you 're , like , the only person that gets me . after i took off from boarding school , i was ... i was messed up . i thought i hated both my parents ... but you listened to me , and you helped get me through that . and , yeah , i know you 're older than me , but ... [ ava laughs ] joey : i do n't care . all i know is i want to be with you , and i do n't care what it takes . ava : okay , all right , you know , th -- that -- that is -- that is impossible . joey : why ? ava : because i ca n't be with anyone . i have leukemia . i 'm dying . [ dramatic music ] steve : ava said she gave the baby up . well , actually , her -- her father made the decision for her . he sold the baby on the black market as soon as it was born . kayla : i ca n't believe that you are buying this . steve : i 'm not buying anything . i 'm just ... i 'm just not rejecting it all together . kayla : why not ? steve : because , if she 's telling the truth , god only knows what that kid 's life is like . kayla : did you already tell her that you 're gon na go out and look for this so- called son ? steve : no . no , i did n't do that -- i did n't tell her yes or no . i would n't do that without talking to you first . i 've been up since the middle of the night trying to make sense of this . kayla : i do not like how this feels . steve : no . i do n't either . kayla : when we found out that ava was sick , we decided that we would believe her , that she was trying to win our forgiveness . now i feel like it was just ... bait , and she 's reeling us in . no , no , not -- actually , not us . you . this is the oldest trick in the book ! `` oh , steve , we have a child that i forgot to tell you about and , oh ... i just need you to find him with me and , you know , before i die . oh , and by the way , maybe you could fall in love with me in the process . `` steve : kayla , come on . kayla : please ! please tell me that you are not thinking about doing what i 'm afraid you are . [ dramatic music ] steve : kayla ... can we forget about ava for a minute and focus on the child ? kayla : i think they come as a set . steve : no , they do n't . it would n't be hard to find out if ava had a baby or not . now , if i can prove that she did and that a son of mine was sold on the black market -- kayla : you know , just because she had a baby does n't mean that you 're automatically the father ! steve : no , you 're right . you 're right . but if it 's true ... and a son of mine was sold on the black market , he could be anywhere in the world , living the worst possible life you can imagine . some little kid , maybe my kid , is paying for ava 's craziness . now , i do n't think i can live with that . kayla : great -- that 's just great ! steve : and what if he 's not my kid ? do n't i owe it to him anyway to try to find him , maybe rescue him from a horrible life ? kayla , you know ... i know what it 's like to have a rotten childhood . kayla : i know you do . and so does ava . and she knows that any story about some mistreated kid is gon na press your buttons ... especially if she convinces you that this child is yours . [ sighs ] we do n't even know that there is really a child ! this could just be the beginning of some crazy ... crazy goose chase , and who knows what else ? steve : well , there 's one way to find out -- locate the boy . do a dna test . please , kayla . you know it 's the right thing to do . abigail : i really do n't think it 's fair for you to throw my relationship with ben in my face , jj . jj : i 'm not doing that . i 'm just reminding you that it has n't been that long since you said you wanted to spend your life with him . abigail : look , it became more and more clear to me that something was off with ben . i just did n't listen to my instincts . jj : a - and you 're listening to them now ? abigail : yes ! i am . and i do n't know why you two ca n't trust me . jj : ej dimera . ben weston -- jennifer : jj . abigail : oh . wow . i 'm marrying chad , and he and i are gon na raise our son together as a married couple . that 's what 's happening . jennifer : that 's it -- it 's settled ? abigail : yes , it 's settled , mom . we have a date and everything . we 're gon na get married on valentine 's day . jennifer : that is so soon ! abigail : it is soon . i did n't know that st. luke 's would have something available , but turns out that they have a cancellation . so that 's when we 're getting married . mom , what ? what ? jennifer : nothing . that -- that was the day that daniel and nicole ... were supposed to get married at st. luke 's . abigail : okay , well , obviously i 'm gon na change the date , i - i -- it 's still gon na be that month . jennifer : it still does n't give you a lot of time to plan a wedding . abigail : stop , please , mom . it does n't matter , okay ? it 's not about the time . we do n't need some big , fancy wedding . we just want our close friends there and my family , but ... chad does n't even want his family there because after what his father and andré did to him , he does n't want anything to do with them . andré : i do n't believe father fled the country . chad : all right , well , what do you believe ? andré : the last time i saw father , he had a late - night visitor ... hope brady . she got into this house and up into this room without being seen . and then she demanded that i let her talk to him . chad : and what did she want ? andré : father came to the room before i could find out . and then he sent me to find you . but it was clear that she was enraged . so that 's why i think there 's a strong possibility that she 's done something to him ... because she really believes that father was responsible for bo 's death . chad : is he ? andré : of course not ! chad : you -- [ stammers ] you think she killed him ? andré : perhaps , but also maybe she 's holding him somewhere , trying to ... get a confession out of him . chad : no . hope 's a cop , all right ? and not one that would ever go rogue . andré : what , you do n't think she -- she could be pushed to the point where she could break ? chad : no . no . no , not even then . [ stammers ] face it , andré . father took off because he 's guilty as charged . the text said he left town because hope figured out what he did . so i 'm sorry , you know . it looks like he left you holding the bag with no money or assets to pay for it . andré : wait a minute . that 's all you 've got to say ? chad : no . if father did do something to bo brady ... well , then he deserves whatever he gets . andré : he 's your father , for god 's sake . chad : that was an accident . andré : [ sighs ] you have no compassion . chad : no . none . not for you . not for him . for the last time , leave me the hell alone . hope : i hate doing what i 'm doing . killing stefano was unthinkable . rafe : yeah , but you were n't in your right mind when you did it , hope . hope : if it were n't for ciara , i 'd be telling that to a judge right now . she 's so fragile . i do n't know if she 'd survive that . look , i 'm willing to do whatever it takes , and that 's including saying that i killed malcolm . and hopefully , it 'll keep the department from looking for stefano . rafe : well , now that stefano 's gone , it may actually be easier to prove that stefano 's responsible for malcolm ... or what happened to bo . hope : no . stefano dimera ? leaving a trail ? he never does . and even if he did ... andré would have gotten rid of the evidence by now . believe me , he made it very clear that he does n't buy that stefano left town of his own volition . rafe , he 's going to be watching my every move -- every move i make . rafe : i tell you something . i 'm actually more concerned about you lying to roman . he 's a good cop . you 're gon na have to stay cool and give a very convincing statement . you understand that ? hope : yeah . i know . it scares me . rafe : hey , hey , hope . you can do it . i believe in you . many people clean their dentures joey : do you really have leukemia ? ava : yes . joey : i mean , like you went to a doctor and -- and you 're sure ? ava : i 'm sure . joey : i 'm so sorry . ava : me too . joey : did they ... did they tell you how much time you have ? ava : not long . maybe now you 'll understand why i was so anxious to get your parents back together . joey : i mean ... you told me you were sick a couple of times , but ... oh , man . i had no idea . ava : oh , joey . you 're such a great guy , and i am so glad ... we got to know each other . you 've been a real friend . you have to get over this crush on me -- you know that , right ? joey : i do n't know how . ava : you 'll figure it out . joey : i do n't want to figure it out . [ dramatic music ] kayla : you ca n't pressure me to go along with this . steve : that 's not what i 'm trying to do . kayla : you know , i -- i have to get to the hospital . i have to see eric and brady before i go to d.c . steve : kayla ... i understand how you feel about this . but -- kayla : please , do n't do anything until i get back . steve : all i 'm going to do is try to verify whether ava had a baby or not -- that 's all . kayla : we should have run her out of town the second she came into salem . steve : yeah , but we did n't . and this is where we are now . and i promise you , we are gon na figure this out . and we 're gon na do it together . kayla : i have to go right from the hospital to the airport . i will let you know as soon as i know my schedule . steve : [ whispers ] it 's okay . abigail : i 'm gon na go see chad , and i do n't know how long i 'll be out . jennifer : honey , what we said before -- we said that because we want you to be happy , baby . jj : you deserve that . abigail : [ laughs and sighs ] i am happy , you guys . you just do n't wan na believe me or see it or something . it 's like you just think i 'm stupid . jennifer : no , we did n't say that , honey , we just want -- abigail : no , mom , whatever . okay , then you think that i 'm gullible or naive or ...

jj : what ? lani : kristen has shares in dimera stock that gabi wants so bad that she can taste it . jj : yeah ? lani : look ... let me just call her , okay ? let me just ask for help . jj : you do whatever you want . i 'm not waiting on kristen . i can do this on my won . lani : no , wait , jj ! jj ! kayla : i 'm so happy that i have justin in my life . i just -- i just do n't want steve to turn that upside down . you know ? julie : has he been making problems for you and justin ? kayla : no , no . and justin is more than supportive . julie : then he does n't feel threatened . kayla : i hope not . i 'm completely committed to justin . and steve told me that he 's in love with another woman . julie : oh , really ? well ... i wish i knew what her name was . i could set her straight . john : i 'm gon na say something i do n't think you 're gon na like . but i think we need to cut hope a break . i mean , she really feels terrible about coming onto me , and she even apologized about it again last night . marlena : well ... she apologized to me too . and the words were correct . but they were certainly not sincere . john : i think she 's really embarrassed . marlena : well , yeah ! john : doc ... you know ... before this whole mess started here , hope has always been one of our longest , closest , dearest friends . i think she wants that friendship back and i think that maybe we owe it to her to give her the benefit of the doubt . marlena : you know what , i 'm just not -- okay . maybe you 're right . maybe we should give her another chance . i mean , she has worked overtime to make sure that i am safe from stefano . gina : well ? what is this bold move of yours ? stefano : just as you would only have a chance with john if marlena was dead , the same is true for marlena and me . as long as john is alive , i will never win her over . my best case scenario is for him to meet an untimely end . gina : you know that is off the table . right ? stefano : the best solution is for both john and marlena to die . gina : you 're completely out of your bloody mind . stefano : relax , princess . let me explain . these are real people , gabi : babe , i missed waking up beside you this morning . what was that errand you had to run ? eli : funny you should ask . gabi : oh , my god . eli : gabriella josephina hernandez , will you do me the honor of marrying me ? gabi : i do n't know , i mean , i 've had a lot of time to think about it so -- eli : not funny . gabi : yes , of course , yes ! yes ! oh , my god . oh , wow , this is beautiful . eli : not as beautiful as you are . kayla : you know , i would n't mind knowing who steve 's mystery woman is . but more importantly , i would rather he just find stefano and go back to wherever he came from . julie : you really mean that ? kayla : yeah , i mean that . you know when joey and i came back , steve and i were already divorced . did you know that ? julie : i remember , i remember . kayla : it was for the same reason . because he abandoned us . and he spent a long time trying to convince me that he would never do that again . and that is the only reason that we remarried . julie : well , i do n't see how he could forget a promise like that . kayla : i do n't either . but i do n't care . i do n't care , because i am with justin now and i am happy . julie : well , if you mean that , maybe you could take a page from eli 's book . kayla : what 's that ? julie : he 's finally over lani ... and he 's proposed to gabi . you know , what 's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander . you get my drift ? kayla : yeah . rafe : abe , hey . abe : hi . did you get my message ? rafe : i did , yeah , about the stefano investigation . i 'm sorry i have n't gotten back to you on that yet . abe : do n't worry about it . i 'm getting used to being kept in the dark . rafe : what does that mean ? abe : [ laughs ] i should n't have said anything . it 's got nothing to do with you . look , i called because i wanted to find out about the new evidence from the hideout . rafe : new evidence ? i have n't heard about any new evidence . abe : you have n't ? rafe : no . abe : well , john found another cigar there last night . he thought that it meant that stefano was still around . rafe : well , it could definitely mean that . abe : well , hope disagrees . she said that her team missed it during the original search . rafe : oh , her team missed it , huh ? i led that team and , uh , let me tell you , i went over that place with a magnifying glass and there is no way , had there been a cigar there , that i would not have found it . abe : well ... i do n't know what to say . rafe : i do . hope 's thrown me under the bus . now i need to find out why . gina : you came up with this plan in the moment . it is brilliant . stefano : yes . gina : however , it shall be tricky to execute . stefano : well , you know better than anyone what i am capable of . gina : yes , yes , i know , but this is an all - or - nothing situation . the stakes have never been higher . and if we should fail -- stefano : we will not fail . we can't . i have faith that we will succeed . gina : yes . indeed . stefano : so we agree . gina : yes . john ... and marlena ... must die . ( lisa vo ) right now , he 's doing his taxes . lani : hey , kristen , it 's me . i took your advice about staying in salem and making gabi think that i left town . jj is actually letting me stay with him and i know that i can trust him . he knows about everything . so can you please meet me at his house as soon as you get this ? i really need your help . [ phone beeps ] [ phone ringing ] [ sighs ] i ca n't keep putting this off .

[ printer whirring ] but i do like the idea of letting go of the past . please tell eli i 'm really happy for him . julie : of course i will . you know , that little machine of yours has been spitting out a lot of paper , and you have n't looked at it once . kayla : well , everything looked good when i was examining you . let 's take a look . [ soft dramatic music ] ah , wait . julie : `` wait `` what ? kayla : there 's just something a little odd here . gabi : oh , i can not believe this is really happening . you mean so much to me . i love you so much . eli : i love you too . gabi : babe , i ca n't wait to tell everybody the good news . jj : hey , what good news ? eli : you ever heard of knocking ? jj : what good news ? eli : gabi and i are getting married . jj : ca n't do that , man .

[ dramatic music ] stefano : are you sure you 're ready to do this ? gina : yes . at this point , it is our only option . | stefano went to the police station to see hope . he saw rafe so he told him that she wanted him to help her find stefano . rafe remembered they were the last two to see him . he thought stefano was getting careless and sloppy . stefano thought what he said about him was funny . stefano left to go to gina 's office . he let her know about his conversation with rafe . she let him know that she would have to kill marlena to get john . he warned her that he would kill her if she did that . she was n't worried about that . he told her that he talked with kristen and she was going to help them with a new plan . stefano had an idea . he thought john and marlena needed to die . she thought his idea was crazy until he explained his plan . she loved the idea . eli ran into abe and he told him about proposing to gabi even though he did n't have a ring . abe remembered that he proposed to lani the same way . eli thought that lani would have told him why she broke his heart . abe was surprised to find out that she was in town . eli said she left again and how she vandalized gabi 's store window . abe wondered where she was now . he decided he would call her . |

[ scene_break ] marlena : that is the nicest thing you have ever , ever said about john . sami : mom , i was wrong about a lot of things , but i was especially wrong about john . i ... i wish i had n't been such a spoiled brat all the time , you know . maybe then i would have seen how wonderful he is and how lucky we all are to have him in our lives . i wish ... marlena : you wish what ? sami : i wish i could go back in time and tell him that i think he 's wonderful and i -- and i love him . marlena : tell him now . [ scene_break ] lucas : you know what ? i am not leaving sami . get that out of your head right now . kate : okay . so , look , could we talk about this rescue ? lucas : sure . kate : so , what happened ? this beam fell on your legs , right ? lucas : mm - hmm . kate : you were in shock . you were bleeding ? you were in really bad pain ? lucas : yeah , i was . that 's when i passed out . kate : so , you passed out , so you really do n't have any idea what went on in the cabin , i mean , do you ? 'cause i just find it so hard to believe that a woman who weighs , i do n't know , what , 100 pounds could lift up a beam that 's at least twice , maybe three times her weight . how does that work ? lucas : adrenaline . you 've heard the stories about old ladies lifting up cars like they 're toys when people are trapped under them . it was adrenaline . it was a natural phenomenon . kate : hmm ... yeah . adrenaline . so , where is this nature when sami tried to lift that beam the first time but it would n't budge , while you were still awake ? you saw that , and then she took off . she deserted you . lucas : she did n't desert me , all right ? she went to get help . she could n't find anybody , and that 's when she came back . kate : yeah , she came back . and by this time , you were unconscious , and that 's when she was able to channel this nature , this strength , this adrenaline , and she lifts that beam off your legs . i mean , i just -- i do n't know . i find that really hard to believe . lucas : well , it 's the truth . that 's what happened . and you do n't sound too grateful about it . kate : no , no . i 'm telling you , i 'm very grateful . i 'm grateful . i just find it really impossible to believe that story . lucas : well , i have no reason not to believe her . kate : what about logic , hmm ? what about physics ? what about the fact that it would be nearly impossible for a 100-pound woman to lift up a 600-pound beam ? how does that happen , lucas ? lucas : i 'm still alive , all right ? i 'm still alive . what 's your point ? kate : very simple -- she had help . [ scene_break ] philip : if i 'm this cold hearted sob .... i 'm surprised the judge gave me temporary custody of claire . why do n't you sit down ? mimi : no , thanks . i 'm fine right here . philip : come on . i do n't want to fight with you , meems . sit down . mimi : well , you called me meems . at least that 's familiar . philip : i am the same guy , mimi . hell , i still look in the mirror sometimes and see that stranger staring back at me , but deep down , it 's me . mimi : no , the philip i know would n't have done this to belle and shawn . philip : they wanted to cut me out of claire 's life , mimi , and that was not going to happen . mimi : so you and victor just rolled right over them ? philip : we did what we had to do for claire . that 's what this is all about -- her welfare and her future . mimi : somehow i do n't think growing up without a mom is good for any little girl 's future . philip , i am sorry for everything that you have been through , but since i was your friend , too , i guess i better watch my back . because if this is the way you treat your friends now , then i 'd hate to see how you carve up your enemies . [ scene_break ] willow : want to know why you lost your kid ? because you do what you 're told , let everyone push your buttons . shawn d. : all you are is a whore who made a big score . enjoy it while it lasts because when you run through victor 's money , you 're gon na be exactly where you started -- nowhere . willow : hey ! you think that you 're so superior , do n't you ? you and your precious little family think you 're so much better than scum like me . you say i 'm a whore ? well , let 's see what you 'll do for a price , mister . i 'll make you a deal . i 'll come clean and get your daughter back . i 'll even give in the 10 grand . but you got to do a little something for me . shawn d. : what ? willow : kiss me . [ scene_break ] sami : um ... john , if you can hear me , i ... i want you to know that i really treasure the love that you share with my mom . you 're her world , and she 's yours . and i think maybe that 's part of the reason that i was so difficult to you -- because i wanted to be loved like that . but i was so busy being a brat that i never stopped to realize that i already was loved ... by you . and you did n't just put up with me , either . you got me . you still do . and even when i would do stupid and immature things , when everyone else wanted to write me off , you always stood by me . john , you were as -- you were as much a father -- you were as much a father to me as my own dad . and i 'm so -- i 'm so sorry john . i love you , too . mom , do you think he can hear me ? marlena : he hears you . and i know he is so proud of the woman you are growing up to be , just like i am . you 're such a great , great person , sami . [ scene_break ] lucas : what the hell are you talking about ? if sami had help lifting that huge beam off me , who 's the person who held her ? why are n't they coming out of the woodwork to get some of the glory ? kate : maybe this person does n't want publicity . maybe this person does n't want to be found by the police . lucas : by the police ? kate : mm - hmm . lucas : what , are you saying it 's e.j . ? if you think it 's e.j . , mom , just come out and say it . kate : well , that ... lucas : no , no . sami is the one who helped set him up . that 's what we were doing out in the middle of nowhere to try to get away from that guy . kate : yeah , but you did n't make it , did you ? and the police did think that e.j . was around that cabin . lucas : so , sami just happened to run into him , is that it ? kate : or planned to meet him there . lucas : why ? kate : why else ? to run off with him . lucas : oh , i get it , except first she said , `` hold on , e.j . wait , we ca n't run off together yet . first we have to save lucas . `` and he said `` of course , my love . i 'll do anything for you . i love lucas . he 's a great chap . i 'll help save him . `` bunch of bs . if he was there , mom , he would have warmed his hands over my dead body . kate : maybe he had a compelling reason to help . lucas : well , i give up . you 're on a roll . what ? kate : maybe it was the only way that sami would help him escape . [ scene_break ] philip : mimi -- mimi , wait . i 'm sorry things turned so ugly . maybe my new face makes it easier to hate me . mimi : it 's not what you look like , philip . it 's what you 've done . philip : all i 've done is realize what 's important in my life . and it took going through hell to get there . mimi : you mean the war . philip : when i re - enlisted ... i was checking out . my marriage to belle was over . i found out claire was n't biologically mine . my whole world just fell apart . but once i got overseas , i realized i loved and needed that little girl more than anything . and in that burn unit in berlin , i vowed to change , to be a good father , to take care of my daughter -- my daughter , not by birth , but by right , by love . and there is nothing on this earth that will take claire away from me again -- nothing . mimi : that sounds just like something victor would say .

[ scene_break ] nicole : brady , please do not tell me -- you and your father -- brady : my father and i went a couple rounds , nicole . it 's no big deal . nicole : no big deal ? how could it be no big deal ? brady : hey , you know i do n't like talking about this , right ? nicole : fine . brady : i 'm gon na change the subject . did you know that chloe 's back in town ? nicole : did you know that parker is not philip 's baby , he 's daniel 's ? [ scene_break ] chloe : what did kate do to me ? well , should i start in this century or the last one ? because i think it was 1999 - - daniel : all right , all right . okay , chloe , look , i know it 's asking a lot to let kate continue to be any part of parker 's life , but -- chloe : yeah , it is asking a lot . and you do n't like her any better than i do . so why are you taking her side ? daniel : i 'm not taking her side , i 'm taking parker 's side . chloe : how ? what , you want our two - year - old to be a master of the dark arts of blackmail and bribery ? daniel : okay , come on . chloe : come on , daniel . i tolerated kate because i had to -- because of philip . but now she has no part of his life . daniel : okay , all right , chloe , listen , here is the bottom line . parker loves her , and he desperately needs some stability in his life right now . chloe : and it 's my fault that he does n't have any of that . daniel : [ stammers ] [ sighs ] okay , no . it 's my fault as well . i guess i let kate play on my guilt about this . chloe : no , not kate . daniel : okay , you know ? but that does n't change the fact that she 's got a good point . chloe : i totally disagree . daniel : do you ? why ? okay , if there 's something else -- if there 's something that you 're not saying that would make me change my mind , chloe , please tell me right now . chloe : okay , daniel , the reason i think this is a terrible idea is because -- daniel : hold on , hold that thought . that 's maggie , and i do n't think she sees us . hold on a second . hey , park , you want to go say hi to your grandma ? yeah , come on . where is she ? maggie ? chloe : maybe it 's not such a terrible idea . as much as i ca n't stand kate , maybe there 's a better way to play this . [ scene_break ] kate : it 's not as though i want to see parker remanded into foster care . i mean , despite the personal animosity between daniel and me , i acknowledge that he 's capable of being a good father . but chloe 's utter lack of judgment puts parker in imminent danger , not just his psyche , but his life . jennifer : i do n't believe that . i do n't believe that she would put her son in danger . kate : she already has . jennifer , she already has . my children , billie and austin , if i could have done anything to save them from curtis , i would have . but i could n't . but if i can help parker -- jennifer : you can help parker . you can go to daniel and tell him what you know . kate : but he 'd never believe me . and we both know that . so i 'm giving you the chance to protect the man you love and what he loves most in the world , his son . so are you gon na do it ? or are you gon na stand by idly while chloe destroys them both ? you probably hold me responsible for a lot of the pain that you felt in childhood . jennifer : no , it 's ancient history , kate . kate : and you 're probably thinking , how is what i did any different from what chloe did ? jennifer : yeah , you 're right . that thought did cross my mind . kate : when i took money for sex , it was all about taking care of lucas . but what chloe did had nothing to do with her child . philip had already taken parker and left town . chloe was just feeling lonely . lonely and desperate . jennifer : are you telling me you think she enjoyed being a prostitute ? kate : i am telling you that i think she 's a very sick woman . jennifer : no , i think that there 's more to the story . i think that she was so desperate to prove that she could provide for her son . kate : no . no , if that was true , she could have sung for her supper . and if that failed , she could have gone to brady . she could have gone to her parents . she had a number of options . but even after someone started attacking girls on the street , chloe did n't stop . that 's right . that 's the reason she was beaten to within an inch of her life . is it starting to make sense to you now ? do n't you think daniel deserves to know the truth about the mother of his child ? she has been lying to him since the day she found out she was pregnant . she 's lying to him still . but you know the truth . does n't the man that you love deserve to know it too ? [ scene_break ] brady : you all right ? nicole : yeah . i 'm great , i 'm fine . brady : it must have been hard , hearing that chloe 's kid was actually daniel 's , right ? nicole : [ sighs ] look , i had these crazy hopes and dreams , and i should have known that they would never come true because they never do . brady : nic , do n't say something like that . nicole : no , chloe deserves to be happy , and daniel is gon na be the best father that anyone could ever ask for , so there you go . brady : [ sighs ] i 'm sure he will be . nicole : i do n't want to keep you , okay ? and would you please take care of yourself ? brady : you too . [ scene_break ] daniel : hey . i told maggie she could have a little alone time with parker . i hope that 's cool . chloe : yeah , of course . yeah , you know i love maggie . hey , i meant to put this in his diaper bag . so for the record , if he ever asks for his choo - choo , this is what he 's talking about . daniel : okay , good to know . chloe : you want to know what his first word was ? daniel : hmm ? chloe : it was n't dada , like other kids . it was choo - choo . daniel : oh , yeah ? chloe : actually , kate is the one who gave him this train . and ever since then , it 's been all about engines and coal cars , flatbeds , cabooses . daniel : [ chuckles ] yeah . so no train rides in your immediate future ? chloe : actually , daniel , you made me think , as much as i ca n't stand kate , um , she 's helped parker become the person he is . daniel : so what are you saying , that you changed your mind , you 're gon na let parker see kate ? chloe : what i 'm saying is i would never be petty when it comes to our son , and if you think it 's a good idea to have her in his life -- on a limited basis , of course -- then , um , i would be okay with it . i trust you . you were always my better half . daniel : well , i think you 're giving me too much credit . i think i 'll give this to parker . [ scene_break ] roman : all right , so wait a minute , let me get this straight . you 're trying to reason with kristen ? you know you ca n't do that . why would you even waste your time ? kristen : that 's not very nice , we 're just having a conversation . marlena : roman , i 'm fine . roman : okay , all right , good . by the way , will 's not answering my calls . do you know what 's going on there ? what 's that all about ? marlena : well , he 's not saying much . he might feel more comfortable talking to you . roman : well , we 'll see . marlena : yeah . why do n't you see if you can go track him down ? roman : okay , i can take a hint . i 'm getting you want me to leave . kristen : yeah , i think she wants you to go . it sounds like it , huh ? roman : you know what ? that 's not a problem , really . i will talk to you when you are not in such demand . kristen : buh - bye . okay . what is it about you ? i mean , seriously . all the men in your life are so angry . marlena : gosh , i do n't know . maybe it has something to do with you . kristen : no . marlena : no ? kristen : no . marlena : hmm . you really are enjoying this , are n't you ? kristen : is that what you think ? marlena : that 's what i know . so where were we before roman walked in ? oh , yes , yes . you were about to make your victory speech . so why do n't you go ahead ? we 'll get that behind us . kristen : nothing would make me happier . marlena ... marlena : hmm ? kristen : i 'm sorry . marlena : what is going on with you ? kristen : this whole thing with brady -- you know , never in a million years did i think i 'd be so ... marlena : so -- ? kristen : overcome . overwhelmed . brady loves john and you so much , and i tried so hard to fight this pull that brady and i have for each other , you know ? marlena : [ laughs ] yeah , i 'm sure you did . kristen : but you know what ? i was weak . no man has ever had that kind of effect on me before . marlena : really ? not even john ? kristen : no , especially not john . marlena : because you were willing to lie and cheat , even kill , to get john . let 's be clear . this is not about your intense feelings for brady . you bedded brady to get back at john for dumping you . kristen : that is not true ! marlena : mm ? kristen : would you please just stop with the phony outrage ? it 's just the two of us , we 're having a nice heart - to - heart , so why do n't you just tell me the truth ? i wo n't tell anybody . you knew i was involved with brady , did n't you ? marlena : you know i did . kristen : that 's right . but the only reason why you did n't go running to john with it is because you did n't want it to end . you were so happy that brady was in my bed , because to your everlasting relief , it would keep john out of it .

lucas : yeah , it 's their off - season . but who wants to vacation in salem ? it 's not really a hot spot , is it ? ari : [ babbling ] adrienne : maybe he 's just passing through . lucas : yeah , maybe . adrienne : mm - hmm . lucas : baby . what about you , baby ? are you passing through , or are you getting hungry ? you want something to eat ? adrienne : i believe that falls under official duties also . lucas : yeah , it does . adrienne : yeah . lucas : that 's one of those duties i do well . adrienne : [ chuckles ] lucas : be right back . adrienne : oh , yes . grandma a knows what team paul plays for already . mm . will : [ sighs ] paul : what ? will : that word . i actually have n't heard it in a long time . is that how you think of yourself ? no wonder you 'd stay in the closet . paul : you think i 'm the only person who 'd use that word ? there 's a lot of haters out there . will : worse . there are a lot of haters in here . paul : what is this , group therapy ? will : no . but i 've been there before . paul : yeah ? so tell me . will : this is n't about me . paul : yeah , it is . look , the only reason why i 'm even considering coming out is because of what happened between us . so tell me . tell me how it was for you . will : [ sighs ] theresa : no , of course i knew it was you , silly . i just wanted to say hello . eric : and have a drink ?

eric : well , come say hi . theresa : i will in a minute . eric : okay . anne : hey . how great is this place ? theresa : no , it 's lousy , actually . it 's full of ex - cops and ex - priests and people that i 'm related to and on good terms with my parents . i mean , even if this room were , like , full of great guys , it 's like having a family reunion on temptation island . i got to get out of here . anne : wait . what ? aw . theresa : let 's go . anne : [ sighs ] oh , oh , oh , oh , oh . melanie : brady and i have been friends for years , though . we just -- we get each other , so maybe now that i 'm not a dumb kid and that he 's through with psycho women who hurt him , maybe all those years of friendship will just pay off in a different way . maggie : i can see how that can make sense to you . but i know you 've seen brady through some bad times before . but if you had seen last year -- melanie : i know . okay , i get it . and you 're his sponsor , and it 's your job to -- to look out for him and make sure he steers clear of land mines , but what if i 'm not that ? what if we 're good for each other , and we make each other happy ? do you walk away from that because the timing is weird ? maggie : i do n't know . neither do you . the road is hard in the best of circumstances . melanie : did you let obstacles get in the way of you and victor ? how many people told you to stay away from him ? all the bumps in the road , they brought you guys closer together . you were in recovery . you had just lost mickey , and you were in recovery . you guys fell in love , anyway . maggie : true . but , honey ... what if it 's not love with you and brady ? brady : [ sighs ] then at least we 'll know where we stand . maggie : neither one of you respect a closed door , do you ? brady : maggie , it 's just ... it 's just weird . melanie : you must both feel like you 're in high school getting grilled . melanie : no . brady : no , the -- we -- we -- we ... we know that you want the best for us . and we also know that we 're both capable of making lousy decisions , but ... maggie , honestly , we 're both just trying to figure this out . we do n't know where it 's going , and we would really appreciate if you would n't tell victor . melanie : or my dad . brady : yeah . maggie : of course not . i mean , it 's yours to tell . but i do hope you 'll both keep on talking to each other and to me . brady : we will . maggie : and maybe you could do it with clearer heads , like , in daylight hours . i 'm just saying . okay , take care . brady : [ sighs ] melanie : [ laughing ] pfft ! brady : i ca n't ... okay , i feel like i 'm 15 years old . how about you ? melanie : i 'm 16 and a half . ooh , i 'm the older woman . brady : you 're the older -- melanie : right . she 's right , huh ? brady : yeah , she 's usually right , especially about the daylight thing . melanie : then we should reconvene tomorrow . brady : yeah . adrienne : you know , i know i 'm partial , but she really is the most beautiful little girl , is n't she ? lucas : definitely . she belongs to us . of course she 's beautiful . adrienne : [ laughs ] lucas : you know , you do n't have to stay here if you do n't want to . i mean , i 'm capable on my own , really . adrienne : i 'm in no rush . besides , i might get a little extra rocking time in if she happens to wake up . lucas : maybe . adrienne : really ? lucas : yeah . adrienne : [ chuckles ] i was thinking about a cup of tea , though . would you like some ? lucas : sure . tea sounds good . adrienne : okay , all right . lucas : not scared of a little tea . adrienne : you have n't had my tea . lucas : ha ha . easy . adrienne : [ laughs ] lucas : oh , no , no , no , no . it 's official . our little boys are turning into grown - up old men . adrienne : what ? lucas : our boys are playing cribbage together . adrienne : that 's hilarious . oh , my god , sonny and i have n't played that since he was little . lucas : yeah , well , looks like you taught sonny well . adrienne : no , this is all him . i 'm just a rank amateur . lucas : well , then you wo n't mind if i take some of your money , then . adrienne : [ laughs ] five cents a point ? lucas : ooh , five cents , easy . adrienne : mm - hmm . lucas : you 're on . let 's do it . will : i was so unwilling to admit it that i had to become a murder suspect before i 'd tell my family . my alibi was my first trip to a gay club . paul : [ chuckles ] okay , that 's , uh , something . will : [ laughs ] rough week . and then i had to make the rounds to my family . paul : so what made you do it ? will : i did n't want to go to jail . paul : no , i mean ... go to the club , decide to live the life . will : i finally realized that it was my life . paul : and you came to that all on your own ? will : i had help ... a family member . and there was also a man ... a man who was gay ... and he supported me ... completely . paul : he sounds special . will : [ sighs ] tad : looks like you and i are the last customers of the night . sonny : looks like . but who knows ? tad : so this new club that your uncle vic has ... is he trying to run us out of business ? sonny : no . he offered the club to me , and i turned it down . tad : you guys who are just raised with money ... sonny : you would n't like the strings . tad : i would try it . [ chuckles ] sonny : anyway , the club 's new . they 're bound to get a crowd at first . tad : yeah . sonny : and they 're only a nightclub . we 're open all day . we 've got good customers . i think we 're gon na be fine . tad : yeah . you out of here ? sonny : yeah . just keep it open a little bit longer . tad : yep . all right , later . oh , and tell your husband to return a text for once . sonny : [ sighs ] [ dance music playing ] daniel : oh , there he is . man of the hour . nicole : [ laughs ] rafe : ah . daniel : huh ? look at that . congratulations , man . rafe : thanks . yeah , well , the jury 's still out . nicole : yeah , well , congratulations from me too . you know what ? i 've read some pretty good stuff about this place already online . rafe : oh , yeah ? nicole : yep . daniel : mm - hmm . rafe : well , thanks for coming . nicole : of course . uh - oh . daniel : look at this . look at that . nicole : victor got you . daniel : yeah , smart idea on his part . i 'm gon na text him and let him know . no , i 'm not , because i left my phone in my car . i 'm sorry . i 'll be right back . nicole : okay . daniel : all right . rafe : so ... nicole : yay . serena : i 'm gon na go find the ladies ' room , okay ? eric : okay . i 'm gon na see if i can find theresa . serena : okay . anne : oh , this was a great idea , hon . yeah , who needs -- who needs all that crowd and excitement and buzz ? theresa : oh , yeah , yeah , anne . anne : yeah . no , i 'd much rather meet someone way older , responsible , who 's out here , say , getting some fresh air and perhaps a smoothie on his way back to his nursing home . theresa : oh , come on , do n't look at me , all right ? i 'm not the reason there 's no fun in this town . anne : okay , but you 're not helping either . you 're the one who said , `` i want to get out of my apartment . i want to forget my troubles and all the losers in my life . `` you 're still hung up on brady , are n't you ? theresa : no , that guy is so three months ago , okay ? anne : oh , right . theresa : i just -- i want to have fun , anne . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : all right ? i mean , i really do , but it 's hard to do that when you ca n't see an -- anne : ca n't see what ? theresa : any options . anne : oh , hello . ask and ye shall . theresa : yes , ye shall . anne : mm . theresa : oh , he 's looking this way . nicole : mmm . yes . this has the nicole approval . i give it four olives on that silly salem app . rafe : yes . nicole : nicely done . rafe : thanks . nicole : whoo . rafe : noted . so ... you and daniel , huh ? nicole : yeah . you know , i 'm kind of scared to say it out loud . it 's -- it 's new . we 're taking it slow . rafe : really ? okay , got to deal with something . nicole : okay . rafe : excuse me . nicole : yes .

eric : well , maybe you should tell sarah everything you told me . rex : i would love to do that , if i could just get face to face with her -- that 's it . that 's it . could you -- could you call her and see if she wants to come over here so i can , you know , talk to her just like one more time , convince her to do that for me ? eric : and then what ? rex : well , that 's easy , i would just take it from there . but when she gets here , you got ta make yourself scarce . please ? comen . eric : rex . rex : do it for me ? thank you . i 'm gon na jump in the shower .

[ dark music ] [ banging on door ] [ banging continues ] kate : abigail , i see you . [ banging continues ] before you say anything ... abigail : [ chuckles ] [ exhales ] stefan : where the hell you been ? what happened to me being out on bail last night and the arraignment this morning ? ted : well , the arraignment is in less than an hour . i 've been working all morning preparing your defense . stefan : well , it better be something brilliant . ted : oh , it is . take a look at this . hope : ben . here to turn yourself in for kidnapping gabi hernandez ? ben : i was wondering if you heard from ciara . hope : not returning your calls ? ben : no . i have n't heard from her . i went by the loft a few times , nobody was there . i 'm starting to get a little worried about her . her motorcycle was there , but she just was n't -- hope : she wo n't need her motorcycle where she 's going . went last night to go visit someone very special to her . ben : who ? hope : theo carver . i 'm sure you 've heard of him . they used to be boyfriend and girlfriend . ben : yeah , i know . i know who theo is . hope : then you know that they used to date . rex : whoa . y - you 're here . uh , that was quick . sarah : what was ? rex : well , i asked eric if he would call you and see if you wanted to come over so we could talk . i mean , that 's why you 're here , right ? sarah : no . i came here on my own because i had some unsettling news for eric and he asked me to wait here for him while he went and dealt with the problem , but now i 'm starting to wonder if i should have gone with him . rex : there 's a -- aproblem ? eric has a problem ? what 's going on ? sarah : xander cook is alive . i had the displeasure of meeting him this morning at breakfast . rex : wait , xander cook ? i thought he died in that fire . sarah : yeah , well , everybody thought that , but apparently , we were wrong . so after i made the horrifying discovery that he is , indeed , alive and roaming the streets of salem , i came here to tell eric and he just rushed off to go confront him . rex : well , there 's no surprise there . sarah : no , there 's no surprise at all , i mean , eric holds xander accountable for nicole 's death . i 'm just worried what eric might do . eric : xander ! [ grunting ] you killed nicole . [ grunts ] now i 'm gon na kill you ! xander : i know you let your morals slide a little bit on the adultery front , but somehow , i do n't see you as a murderer , eric . eric : yeah ? how about now ? male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] hope : now you 're not saying anything . that 's not like you . ben : [ clears throat ] i 'm just surprised . [ clears throat ] that 's all . ciara never even mentioned the possibility of her flying anywhere . hope : well , she was highly motivated , obviously . and thank god she finally realized that she deserved better than a serial killer whose idea of reforming is to become a kidnapper . ben : i never hurt gabi , and i never would . hope : oh , my god , of course not . i am so sorry . what was i thinking ? because you are such a stand - up guy , are n't you ? except ... when you are in one of your homicidal moods and decide that some people just do n't deserve to live , right , ben ? if you think that you 've ... [ sighs ] gotten away with murder , and other crimes , but i would n't get too cocky , if i were you . this is n't over yet , not by a long shot . stefan : `` i 've been assured that my head of security , ben weston , was completely rehabilitated , but totally unbeknownst to me , he kidnapped a woman named gabi hernandez and held her prisoner overnight on my property . as soon as i found out , i immediately released her . i was about to explain the situation to the police when detective rafe hernandez arrested me on unfounded charges of treason . `` really ? this is your brilliant defense ? you want me to lie to the judge ? ted : this statement is based on what you have told me , that ben weston is mentally ill . he was living on your property . he kidnapped a woman and you released her . stefan : but he did n't act alone ! gabi hernandez can testify to that . ted : gabi hernandez has no credibility whatsoever . if she did , ben weston will be behind bars already and everyone knows she hates you and she will jump at a chance to screw you over . the police , the feds , everyone has been trying to put ben weston behind bars for years . if you help society get rid of that menace , you will be rightly rewarded . the cops get ben . you go free . everyone 's happy . stefan : not everyone . abigail : all right , what do i got ta do to make you go away ? kate : hear me out . abigail : i do n't wan na hear anything you have to say , kate . kate : because you 're furious with me ? abigail : this goes way beyond me being mad at you . what are you here for ? what 'd you come to justify what you 've done ? because you can't . there is no justifying that you knew charlotte was chad 's and you knew that gabi was setting me , and you did nothing . and to think , i actually -- i actually believed that you cared about me and chad and our little family . kate : i did . i do . abigail : no . you did n't , and you don't . the only person you care about , kate , is yourself . you use people so that you can manipulate them and you can destroy their lives . that 's how you get your kicks , right ? kate : no . actually not . and i know that what you and chad went through was very painful . and i know , because of circumstances beyond my control , that i was complicit in causing that pain . and i 'm not making excuses , abigail . i 'm here to tell you that i 'm sorry and that i 'm going to do what i can to make things right . gabi : i 'm here on business , chad . chad : you 're not here to schmooze ? see how i 'm doing ? check in on abby and the kids ? oh , wait . your life 's purpose is to destroy my family and to watch us all suffer to try tear us apart . gabi : i heard that stefan 's in custody and that you are now ceo of dimera . chad : and ? gabi : well , dimera enterprises owns gabi chic . must 've occurred to you at some point that we 'd be working together again . -these people , they speak a language we can not understand . ben : i thought you were n't gon na be charging me in gabi 's kidnapping . you obviously do n't have a case . hope , if i remember correctly , the last time that you came up with evidence out of nowhere for me setting the fire , it did n't work out that well for you at all , as i recall . hope : this time ... is different . this time , we 're holding stefan dimera -- your boss -- who 's in deep legal trouble . ben : what does that have to do with me ? hope : oh , it has so much to do with you . let 's see , where do i start ? you see , if stefan 's convicted , it 's likely he 'll lose all motivation to protect you , given that his own ass is on the line . so ... who knows what he might be willing to tell the feds to save himself ? stefan : y - your defense is literally laughable , so unless you have a damn good plan b ... ted : i don't . there 's none . stefan : then you 're fired . ted : fine . then your arraignment will be postponed again . you will have to spend another night in a cell , at least . oh , really , mr . dimera , what other good lawyer will jump at a chance to represent a client that has been just charged with treason , has no job to pay legal bills -- stefan : you sure as hell jumped at the chance , did n't you , and why is that ? why are you so eager to have me as a client ? oh , wait ! i know . so you can tank the case , put me behind bars , and that way i 'm not a threat to you anymore . ted : i 'm not stupid , mr . dimera . i learned my lesson . i 'd rather work with you than against you . you 're about to jump in shark - infested water . painted as a traitor for spying on top of it -- you will get nailed . stefan : i 'm innocent ! ted : it 's all about perception . and you well know that . which is why flipping on ben weston will go a long , long way . stefan : go a long way with hope brady - hernandez . right ? is that what this is about ? hm ? i mean , she , uh , she helped hide you when you got back to salem . is this you repaying her ? or is there , uh , something else going on between you two ? come on , who 's better ? kate or -- kate or hope ? you can tell me . ted : you know what -- stefan : come on ! ted : i 'm doing my best for my client . i 'm assuming you agree . i will see you in court . otherwise , mr . dimera , good luck . sarah : damn . the longer i do n't hear from him .. eric was so violent with brady over nicole 's death , and xander , he 's even more culpable . rex : d - d -- hey , listen . eric is not going to kill anybody , it 's all right . sarah : but what about what xander might do to him ? oh , my god , why have i waited ? i have to do something . i have to stop it . rex : all right , you know what , i 'm gon na come with you . sarah : oh , like hell you will . i do n't need your help . i can do this on my own . [ door slams ] [ both panting ] xander : so , `` father , `` whatever happened to turning the other cheek , eh ? eric : try turning yours and see what happens next . nicole would still be alive if it was n't for you . holly would still have a mother . since you like quoting scripture , i tend to lean towards the old testament . so how about `` take an eye for an eye `` ? abigail : [ clears throat ] kate : like i said , no excuses . although , i do hope you understand that i did not like helping gabi . in fact , i hated it . the truth is , it happened because she was blackmailing me . abigail : i 'm sorry , what makes you think that i want to hear any of this again ? kate : okay , fine , fine . seriously , i understand talk is cheap . it is . all these words must seem hollow to you . so no more words . only actions , and i 've already gotten started on that . abigail : how ? kate : well , the dimera board offered me the position of ceo of dimera , and i turned it down . i convinced them to hire chad . because he is the true heir , i 'm going to help him get back everything he lost , including the most important thing to him in the world , which is you . chad : you and i -- oh , okay . gabi : hey , no ! listen , chad . i know that you hate me . chad : what gave you that clue ? gabi : i 'm here on business . you 've been reinstated as ceo . i 'm the face of gabi chic , okay . an emotional decision , it would be terrible to the board . chad : how about this ? how about i liquidate gabi chic , just like stefan did with basic black , and i watch your career go up in smoke ? gabi : chad , you can not do -- chad : oh , i can do that , and i will do that . i 'm gon na wipe gabi chic off the map . ben : that 's what you 're hoping ? that stefan is gon na testify against me ? hope : you 're smart . i do n't need to answer that . ted : hello , ben . hope : he 's just leaving . ted : what was he doing here ? hope : proving that i made the right call when i asked you to represent his boss . did you get stefan to flip on ben ? chloe : rex ? rex : chloe , hi . chloe : hi . rex : sorry , please , come in . chloe : oh , thanks . uh , so when did you get back to salem ? rex : uh , late last night , actually . um ... sorry about this . i 'm just crashing here while i settle in . chloe : oh , so you 're staying permanently ? rex : i am . yeah . i am . chloe : oh , cool . rex : uh , eric is not here right now , so ... chloe : oh , you know what ? i did n't come here to see him . holly , i think , might have left this little stuffed cat here . she ca n't sleep without it . uh , have you seen it ? we call her dirty kitty . rex : uh , yes , wait a minute . i did see a -- yes . is this -- is this dirty kitty ? chloe : there she is . yes . thank you . rex : you 're welcome . actually , i should be thanking you . chloe : for what ? rex : if it was n't for you , i would not know that i have a daughter . xander : come on ! if you 're gon na do it , do it ! come on , you coward ! come on ! sarah : eric , no ! please stop . eric : [ grunts , sobs ] sarah : please , eric . eric : [ sniffs ] get out ! now ! please ! sarah : eric , i am not gon na go . please , you 're not -- you 're not like this . you would never take somebody 's life . you 're not like -- eric : yes , i am ! you made me this way when you killed nicole [ grunts ] sarah : think of her ! think of her ! do you think that this is what nicole would want ? that she would want you to go to jail for murder ? she wanted you to be there for her little girl . eric : [ crying ] holly has chloe now . sarah : but she needs you too . she does , she needs you in her life . and i do too . please , eric . please , please . eric : [ sniffs ] [ all breathing heavily ] [ dramatic music ] xander : cheers , babe . i owe you one . eric : xander . shut the hell up . ted : i made a compelling case for stefan dimera to flip on ben . if he does n't do it , he will have to find another lawyer . his options are pretty limited if he does n't heed my advice . hope : thank you . and for agreeing to take stefan 's case . i do n't know what else i would have done , if you hadn't . [ dark music ] rex : as much as it turned my whole world upside down to find out i had a daughter , she 's the best thing that ever happened to me . i mean , besides sarah . but that 's different , right ? i mean , it 's a different kind of love . i mean , your child is -- is part of you . chloe : yeah , i know . it 's the best feeling ever . i know that lucas started to feel that way towards baby bonnie -- emily , that is . that 's why i hated having to tell him that she was n't his daughter . rex : that must have been so rough . chloe : it was . for me too , actually . we 'd made plans to raise her together , and i know that parker was looking forward to having a little sister , so ... rex : chloe , i really am so sorry . chloe : i know . hey , you know what ? it 's okay because parker did end up with a little sister , holly , so it 's a happy ending , right ? rex : yeah . yes . happy ending . chloe : anyway , i had no idea that she was your daughter . i just knew that something was n't right about bonnie and mimi 's story . rex : yeah . yeah , look , um ... well , lucas , i actually tried to call him and i 've left messages . he 's not getting back to me . chloe : oh , well , that 's probably because he has n't been getting them . lucas left the country . sarah : thank you for getting here so quickly . eli : is that xander cook ? eric : it is . he obviously survived the explosion in nashville . eli : salem 's starting to look like `` the walking dead . `` somebody want to fill me in on what 's going on ? eric : i know nashville 's out of your jurisdiction and it may be impossible to prove that he 's responsible for nicole 's death , but he did shoot my mother . eli : that he did . and we got the hard evidence to prove it . get up . xander cook , you 're under arrest . xander : oh , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . i 'm the one that was attacked here . he threatened me with a knife , and then knocked me out cold . eli : which i did n't witness . xander : no , but she did . eli : what i did see was a closed circuit video of you shooting dr . marlena evans . you 're under arrest for attempted murder . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . gabi : i know that you 're too angry right now to consider my feelings . chad : you 're damn right i am . gabi : but maybe you can consider arianna 's . chad : what does arianna have to do with this ? gabi : you know that gabi chic is my life and my livelihood . i know that you care about arianna . i know you do n't want her to suffer , so please do n't do this because you 're trying to punish me . yeah , will and sonny are gon na make sure she never suffers . arianna will want for nothing . gabi : except for a mother who 's happy and fulfilled with what she 's doing , with what she 's fought for . the kind of mom that 's setting and example that every child needs . i have lost so much time with arianna while i was in prison . this means so much more than you know . chad : this is not about arianna . gabi : i was in love with you , chad . and i know that you were in love with me , just obviously not enough . i never wanted to be selfish . i wanted you to be happy . that 's why , when abigail came back , i stepped aside so that you two could be happy together . a - and what do i get ? just misery and grief ? chad : and that justifies what you put us through ? gabi : oh . you know , abigail hurt people too . she 's -- she killed one of your brothers , she cheated on you -- chad : abby was mentally ill . what 's your excuse ? gabi : all right , so just because i have n't been diagnosed with did or whatever the hell she 's got , that means i have to suffer in silence ? i went to prison because my so - called best friend framed me for murder . okay , i was beaten so badly that i will never be able to have children again . do you have any idea what that feels like ? no . no , you don't . okay , i was alone and tortured and no one gave a damn about me . chad : no one gave -- i gave a damn ! i was there for you ! you 're one of my oldest friends . you should have been there for me . instead , you were trying to destroy my family , gabi ! gabi : i never tried to hurt you . i - i would never wanted to hurt you . chad : i 'm not trying to hurt you . this is n't about revenge . i just ca n't stomach the sight of you anymore . things have changed . and i 'm a better man . i am the man that my wife and my children deserve . now , this is not a request . this is an order : stay the hell out of my life . abigail : i get that you want to make amends to make yourself feel better , kate , but i ca n't help you out there . kate : no ? abigail : no . because -- some things are just not forgivable . you were complicit in a lie involving my child . and you encouraged someone who was like a son to you to betray his best friend . you 're not a good person , kate , and i 'm not gon na fall for it again . so if you want to make amends , you know , someone that you could start with would be chad . and the way to do it would be to get the hell out of his life . chloe : lucas went to go spend thanksgiving with ali in europe and then , i guess , realized she was having some problems and decided that she needed her dad nearby , and so he packed up and left to be with her . rex : well , when 's he getting back ? chloe : i do n't know . he actually broke up with me before he left . rex : ah , man . chloe : yeah , that sucked , but i guess the plus side is your mother was thrilled . rex : oh , god ! [ laughs ] my ma -- you know not to take that personally , right ? i mean , my mom has never liked anyone that her kids have been with . chloe : true . rex : i mean , she did n't despise sarah , but that 's 'cause she did n't really get a chance to know her . [ laughs ] chloe : yeah , so i know that that 's over now . are you and mimi together ? rex : uh , no . no . um ... i mean , i helped mimi move to chicago so she could be nearby and we can raise our daughter together , but i -- i do n't love mimi . i love sarah . and that 's why i took a leave of absence from the hospital and i came back here to salem and i 'm gon na fight for her . sarah : you know , with all of our advancements in medicine , a bag of frozen peas is still the best thing for swelling . eric : it 's better already . thank you . sarah : leave it on there for another minute . doctor 's orders . eric : yes , ma'am . sarah : i hope you 're not upset with me for showing up and calling the cops . eric : upset ? no . thank god for you that you were here to save me from myself . sarah : i 'm sure that you would have done the right thing , whether i showed up or not . the truth is , i felt responsible for inciting you . eric : what ? why ? sarah : i should n't have just run straight to you when i found out that xander was alive , but you were just the first person i thought of . eric : you did the right thing . i needed to know he was back . how he survived that explosion , how anyone could , i -- sarah : does it make you wonder ? eric : what ? sarah : if xander survived , maybe nicole did too ? eli : all right , as you know , we have surveillance footage of you at the horton town square the day of john black and marlena 's wedding . xander : yeah , lovely affair , do n't you think ? eli : you shot her in broad daylight , cook . and yeah , you slipped away , but there is no doubt that that is your ugly mug on those tapes . xander : now , now , no need -- eli : why do n't you do me a favor and let me write up your confession ? xander : i 'm not saying a word without my lawyer . that 's how this all works . you do know that , right ? and if you think you 're getting a confession out of me , you 're dead wrong . hope : counselor . how did the arraignment go ? did stefan do it ? did he flip on ben ? ted : there was no arraignment . hope : what do you mean ? ted : well , before i could present my defense , the federal prosecutor announced they have someone else in custody . hope : someone else ? no . ted : yes . hope : what ? ted : the head engineer confessed of using the bionic eye to steal classified information from the isa . stefan dimera was exonerated . and all the charges against him were dropped . so there you are with your depression chloe : so what 's your strategy ? rex : my strategy ? chloe : your strategy for winning sarah back ? rex : oh . chloe : i mean , she 's obviously not happy with you . why would she be ? you kind of did the worst thing any fiancé can do , right ? get another woman pregnant ? rex : that literally is the worst thing a fiancé could could possibly do . chloe : yes , well , at least you 're owning up to it . that 's good . so what 's your plan ? you gon na just charm your way back into her heart ? send her flowers ? grovel at her feet ? rex : grovel ? no . flowers . flowers is the play . chloe : oh . rex : i do n't know about gro -- no , i do n't know about groveling . chloe : groveling 's good . rex : no , i -- okay , my strategy ? my strategy is to ... just remind her that we were really great together . and remind her that we were so in love . and to remind her that we had such a -- a strong connection . and that connection is still there , in spite of everything that 's happened . chloe : hm . are you sure about that ? i mean , you did n't exactly just flirt with another woman at some party , you know . rex : no , no . i did n't , but ... look , like , all kidding aside , i mean , i did something so terrible and it 's so unforgivable , and it 's presumptuous of me , i guess , or it may seem arrogant or egotistical for me to just show up back here in salem and i 'm gon na win her back and all this , but chloe , this has nothing to do with ego . i swear . i love this woman . i 'm a seriously flawed person and i really screwed up , big time . 'cause she 's so special to me . chloe : hm . well , i get it , then . why you 'd want to fight to get her back . rex : and i know this is just between me and sarah , but anyway , it seemed lame to have outside influences involved , but still ... chloe : still what ? rex : still , my brother eric , who has a great ability to connect with other people , you know , he and sarah have become friends and he 's -- he 's gon na help me and having his support , i think it 's gon na be great . eric : nicole alive ? you know , when i saw xander , my mind went there for a second . there 's no way that nicole could have survived that explosion . she was trapped in a confined area . and somehow , xander must have got his way in and out of that building . sarah : i know that you -- you said you were right there with her , right before the building blew . eric : yeah , we were ... there . i was in and out of there . we were so close . sarah : i 'm so sorry for what you 've been through . eric : no , what nicole went through . what that little girl lost forever . and that 's what breaks my heart . now i know that xander 's gon na pay the price for what he did . eli : fine . i do n't need your confession . we got you dead to rights . you 'll never make bail . oh , hey , uh , congrats on rising from the dead . yeah , that was cool . but your life on the outside is over . hope : i -- this , it ca n't be real . it just -- stefan had to have gotten someone to take the fall for him . ted : as far as i know , it 's real . dimera gave me no indication that someone took the fall for him . if he did , i would have told you . hope : this was my best chance to get ben . maybe my only . ted : for what it 's worth , hope , i 'm really sorry . hope : do n't be . i know you did your best . and i appreciate it . ted : hope ... we 're even , right ? abigail : [ clears throat ] kate : how 's charlotte ? abigail : she needs her mother so we 're done here . kate : well ... you know , abigail , you say that you ca n't forgive me , and yet , you let gabi off the hook . and she 's behind this whole thing . abigail : i did n't press charges against gabi because i did n't want arianna to grow up without her mother . i did n't forgive gabi . i 'm not gon na forgive you either . kate : okay . that 's fine . i can live with that . but for your sake , for your children 's sake , you need to forgive chad . chad : you know what ? um ... dragging this out is gon na be pointless . it 's just gon na be a massive waste of time . gabi : meaning ? chad : meaning i will break the contract that gabi chic has with dimera -- no more ties . gabi : really ? you would do that for me ? chad : not for you . for arianna . gabi : thank you . chad : i 'll have to get it approved by the board , but that 's just a formality . now that i have total executive control , i 'm in charge now . stefan 's out of the picture . stefan : guess again , little brother . | ben went to see hope to look for ciara . hope let him know ciara was with theo . ben did n't understand what happened . ted wanted stefan to give a statement blaming ben for the kidnapping . stefan did n't want to do it . kate went to see abby , but she did n't want to hear what she had to say . gabi went to see chad and he gave her a hard time at first . hope told ben that stefan was turning against him . stefan and ted talked about his case . sarah wanted to go check on eric . rex wanted to go , but she did n't want him to go with him . eric threatened to kill xander . kate told abby that she hated helping gabi . kate told her that she convinced the board to hire chad . gabi wanted chad to work with her , but he wanted to sell gabi chic . she asked him not to do that . ben did n't believe that stefan would turn against him . ted interrupted their conversation , ben left the office . chloe went to eric 's apartment and saw rex . sarah tried to stop eric from killing xander . eric wanted to kill him . sarah used holly to get her not to kill xander . eric punched xander . |
eli : jj , what the hell are you saying ? why ca n't we get married ? lani : gabi was able to hack into the device , and with the touch of her app on her phone , gabi has the power to blow up julie 's heart . jj : so she -- she threatened to kill julie if you did n't walk ay from eli ? lani : yeah . that is what gabi is holding over me : julie 's life . jj : look , man , you ca n't marry gabi 'cause of lani . abe : you 're my daughter , lani , and i love you , but i know something has been off with you for a long time . i want the truth , lani , now . lani : i 'm sorry , dad , but i have to go . abe : no , not before you explain all this to me . lani : dad , i 'm late . vespers , okay ? i 'll talk to you later . abe : lani ! lani : kristen , thank you , thank you . kristen : what ? lani : for getting here so quickly . kristen : yeah , looks like you found a place in salem that 's under the radar . lani : yeah . jj offered his place to me , which used to be mine and eli 's . kristen : beggars ca n't be choosers . is he , um , gone to work already ? lani : actually , he just bolted out of here on a mission to save julie 's life . kristen : what ? lani : yeah , that 's why i called you , okay ? because i am afraid that it 's gon na have the exact opposite effect unless you intervene . julie : you know , that little machine of yours has been spitting out a lot of paper , and you have n't looked at it once . kayla : well , when i was examining you , everything looked really good . julie : good . kayla : let 's see . wait . julie : `` wait `` what ? kayla : there 's just something a little odd here . julie : odd ? how ? is something wrong with my heart ? kayla : no , um , it 's your pacemaker . rafe : you 're smoking now , hope ? what the hell is going on with you ? steve as stefano : are you sure you 're ready to do this ? hope as gina : yes . at this point , it is our only option . marlena : i just ca n't shake this uneasy feeling that someone or something is going to come between us . john : oh , sweetheart , you had yourself a bad dream 'cause you 're under a lot of stress right now , but let me tell you something . nobody 's gon na come between us , not hope , and certainly not stefano dimera . hope as gina : prepare to die , mr . and mrs . john black . julie : my pacemaker ? but it 's chugging along just fine as far as i can tell . i -- i feel great , kayla . kayla : well , good . i think you 're right . i think it is working properly . it 's just that the battery is very low . julie : already ? that surgeon told me it would be years before we had to change it . kayla : well , it should be at least five years , and that 's what 's odd . for some reason , yours is losing its charge . julie : well , what are we gon na do about it , kayla ? kayla : i 'm gon na call your cardiologist , and we 're gon na figure it out , okay ? i have to be honest . i have never seen this before . eli : lani ? what are you talking about ? what does she have to do with me marrying gabi ? jj : after our conversation yesterday , do you have to ask ? gabi : what conversation ? kristen : so you told jj everything ? about julie 's pacemaker , about gabi 's little gadget that makes it go boom ? lani : yes , and then he freaked out , no surprise there . then he raced over to the dimera mansion before i could stop him . kristen , he is gon na try to disable that app . kristen : how -- he does n't know what he 's doing . lani : i know . i tried to tell him that , but once he makes up his mind , there 's -- kristen : there 's no stopping him , i know , i know . oh , my god , so this is where i come in , right ? lani : yes . look , kristen , i was hoping that you could go over there and create some sort of distraction , or , god forbid , if he 's been caught , give him a cover ? kristen : oh , god , lani , you know that this -- i am the last person that jj 's gon na accept help from . what if -- what if he tries to shoot me again ? i 'd prefer not to wind up on the wrong end of the gun . john : mm . busted . marlena : oh , my god . steve as stefano : well , we did n't scare you two lovebirds , did we ? john : not a chance . marlena : you could n't scare us . we just did n't hear your key in the lock . hope as gina : well , that 's because steve did n't need to use it . you really should n't leave your doors unlocked . anyone could walk in . marlena : like you . steve as stefano : like stefano dimera . john : you know , partner , i 'm beginning to think all this business about stefano being here in town 's a bunch of bull . hope as gina : you do n't believe all the evidence ? john : what evidence ? nobody 's seen the guy . he contacts chad how , by text ? sends doc all these mysterious gifts with a card signed with an s. then again no one sees his face , right ? and i do n't put a lot of stock in celeste and her psychic ability , but she even said he was n't here . steve as stefano : no . what she said was he was here , but he was n't , and i 'm afraid that hope and i are here with proof positive that she was right . hope as gina : which is why i felt i had to do this . gabi : what -- what conversation ? i know that you two met last night , but what exactly did you talk about ? jj : just different stuff , just life and -- and love . i -- i asked eli if he was sure his feelings for -- for lani were over . gabi : of course he 's -- what are you talking about ? of course he 's sure . lani dumped him at the altar and broke his heart . eli : that 's exactly what i said . jj : right , you did . gabi : you know , i do n't understand . eli and i , we 've been together for over a year , and in that time lani left salem , and she decided to marry god , okay ? things have been over between them , so i do n't understand why you 're asking this now . jj : i know . it 's -- it 's been a long time . it 's just when i saw lani in italy , it became obvious to me that she wishes she could have made a different choice . gabi : well , i 'm sorry if she regrets becoming a nun . jj : okay , look . i probably would have killed kristen if lani had n't shown up and talked me down . my life would be over right now if it was n't for her , so i felt like i owed it to her to at least tell eli how -- how lani feels . gabi : right . you know i saved your life too . you remember that ? this is how you 're gon na thank me for that ? eli : gabi , you know , actually , you should -- you should thank jj . gabi : for what , babe ? eli : because he made me realize that lani leaving me at the altar is in the past , and he also made me realize how much i wanted to propose to you . lani : kristen , you do n't have to worry about jj trying to shoot you . it 's not like he 's gon na try that again . kristen : can i get that in writing ? lani : he was on drugs , out of his mind with grief , okay ? but look , he went to rehab , and he is on the mend . kristen : you know , for someone who 's worried about gabi retaliating , you took a huge risk in telling jj about what gabi did . lani : i did n't mean to , okay ? the last thing i wanted to do was to get jj involved , but ever since this whole thing started , i have just felt so alone . i mean , everyone in salem thinks that i am just this -- this terrible person who left eli at the altar , but jj , he has been so kind to me , and he keeps asking about it , so just -- it just slipped out . kristen : i see . i see . so jj was the only person that you could confide in ? what , am i just chopped liver ? lani : kristen , you just said you would n't help me , and i have barely heard from you . kristen : okay , and i am sorry . it 's just things have gotten a little busy . you know , i started a new job at basic black , and my father -- lani : w -- your father ? what ? kristen : he asked me for my shares . lani : so it 's true . stefano 's back in town . did you see him ? kristen : uh , well , in -- sort of . hope as gina : i had this registered in your name . marlena : why ? hope as gina : for your own protection , of course . marlena : protection from stefano ? steve as stefano : kristen told abigail that her father came to visit her last night . john : oh , hell , i do n't believe a word kristen says . hope as gina : well , she also said that stefano told her he was leaving the country , which proved to be true . an isa operative spotted stefano in prague this morning . john : oh , come on , guys . think about it . it does n't make any sense here . kristen 's in town . chad is in town . doc is here . why would he leave now ? steve as stefano : he 's probably trying to get his ducks in a row before he comes back to claim what is his . marlena : i 'm not his , and i do n't want your gun , and if stefano comes anywhere near me , which i doubt , john will help me . steve as stefano : no , marlena . he won't . lani : you sort of saw your father ? what does that mean ? kristen : you do n't want to know . lani : no , actually , that 's all i want to know . kristen : the point is , is that i did not give him my shares because i 'm using all my leverage to help you with this . lani : and i appreciate that , kristen , i really do . but if you want to help me , you will go over to the mansion and make sure that jj does not get caught with gabi 's phone . kristen , please . look , i will never forgive myself if anything happens to jj . kristen : okay , okay . okay . but do n't count on any miracles , hmm ? gabi : well , are n't you gon na congratulate us ? jj : congratulations . gabi : you could say it like you mean it . hey , i thought we were okay , you know , after our talk on christmas eve . i still care about you . you know that ? jj : you never stop surprising me , gabi . gabi : in a good way , i hope . jj : i came to see abigail . gabi : she 's not here . jj : that 's -- that 's okay . i can wait . eli : well , um , since you 're here , um , there 's something i wanted to ask you . since you 're the one that prompted me to pop the question to gabi , i was hoping you 'd be my best man . jj : me ? eli : you 're family , right ? [ cell phone rings ] sorry , i got ta take this call . give me one second . gabi : you know , this means a lot to eli . i hope you say yes . jj : do you love him ? gabi : of course . of course i love him . why else would i have accepted his proposal ? jj : lani took your husband from you . maybe you want to take the man who was going to be hers . gabi : that 's an awful thing to say . jj : is it true ? gabi : no . jj : so you really think we can all be one big , happy family ? gabi : if you 're talking about abigail -- jj : no , i 'm talking about julie , actually . julie : oh , beg your pardon . abe : oh , julie , no , it 's quite -- quite all right . julie : abe , how nice to see you . dear , is something the matter ? abe : yeah , yeah , i 'm afraid so . i just found out that lani was back in town and did n't bother to call me , and before i could track her down , she -- she left just as quickly as she came . julie : i know . that is , i saw sister lani as she was leaving town . abe : i see . julie : abe , please do n't take this personally , but your daughter 's history of hurting the people she is supposed to care about the most , i 'm afraid it was just a matter of time before she hurt you too . abe : i know what you think of my daughter , julie , and you have every right to be angry with her about how badly she hurt eli . i ca n't blame you for being protective of your grandson . but i 'm just as protective of my daughter . all -- all that matters to me is her wellbeing . i 'm just terribly worried about her . julie : i understand . believe me , i do , 'cause right now i feel the same way about hope . rafe : hi . is -- kayla : hi . rafe : is roman here , back in the kitchen ? kayla : no , i 'm sorry . he 's -- he 's out . rafe : damn . kayla : is everything okay ? rafe : no , actually , it 's not . uh , it 's about hope . kayla : hope ? what 's going on ? rafe : i probably should n't discuss it with you . it does n't exactly paint her in the best light . kayla : no , listen , you know , whatever it is , if it 's about hope , i wan na know . here , sit down . rafe : all right . well , honestly , hope 's just -- she 's been acting very strange lately . she 's been sloppy at work , so i -- i confronted her about it , and she tried to fire me . kayla : she what ? rafe : yeah , she tried to fire me , so i went to her office to discuss it with her , and it smelled like smoke , right , in her office , so i went , and i looked in her desk drawer . i know i should n't have , but i did , and , um , i found these . kayla : cigarettes ? rafe : yeah . have you ever known hope to smoke ? kayla : no . rafe : no ? kayla : no . well , actually , there was this one time . john : what are you talking about , partner ? of course i 'll protect doc . she 's my priority , always has been . steve as stefano : i do n't doubt that , but what i meant was you ca n't protect doc because you wo n't be in salem . i need you to come with me to europe to help me stop stefano in his tracks . john : well , you know there 's nothing more that i would like than that , but i do n't wan na leave doc . marlena : you wo n't have to . i 'll go with you . john : all right then . hope as gina : you can't . gabi : julie ? why did you mention her ? jj : well , she 's a part of my family . she 's going to be a part of yours now , and you two are always at each other 's throats . gabi : not anymore . no , ever since i gave her stefan 's heart , we 've been the best of friends . i mean , you saw at the christmas eve party . you were there . jj : i know , and i know that , and i 'm -- and i 'm glad you two are getting along better these days . hope it lasts . gabi : i think so . jj : so look , i do n't -- i do n't want you keep you if you 've got work or whatever to do . kristen : gabi , i brought some contracts that need your signature immediately . jj : kristen . kristen : hello , jj . jj : i heard you were back in town . oh , do n't worry . i 'm not gon na try to play god and make you pay for what you did . i 'm happy to leave that to the law . kristen : i appreciate that . uh , i want you to know that i would do anything to make up for what i did and for both of us to have our lives back the way they were before that awful night . just as much as i wish it , i know that ca n't happen , and that 's part of the reason why i came back to salem , to face the people that i 've wronged and to do my very best to make amends . jj : right . kristen : uh , oh , dear . gabi : is something wrong ? kristen : well , i must have left the contracts at the office . you know , you 're gon na have to come with me . gabi : i 'm -- i 'm celebrating an engagement to eli . kristen : oh , well , congrats , i guess , but i 'm sorry . this ca n't wait . gabi : [ scoffs ] julie : you see , kayla has warned me to avoid stress for the sake of my health , but recently i can not help but be upset about hope 's behavior . abe : well , i 'd say that 's good advice . julie : well , how she could have just brought steve back to salem without giving kayla some warning , it 's just so insensitive . abe : well , i get the feeling that kayla 's not the only one hope 's been insensitive to . julie : well , i was surprised when she turned down doug 's and my offer to move in with us and insisted on staying with john and marlena , and ... i was hurt . i know i 'm not the easiest person in the world to live with . and in the past when she was a teenager , we did have our moments . but , abe , she 's become so distant . abe : you know , i spoke to rafe a little earlier . suffice it to say i do n't think you 're the only one that -- that is concerned about hope . rafe : so you 've seen hope smoke ? kayla : well , no , not exactly , but , you know , a couple of months ago i had this patient who tried to sneak some cigarettes into the hospital . i mean , he was on oxygen , no less . rafe : oh , great . kayla : so i confiscated the cigarettes , of course . rafe : yeah . kayla : and then i came here , and i told roman and hope the whole story about how this patient almost blew the hospital to kingdom come . rafe : well , i suppose that 's a day you would n't forget . kayla : right , but , you know , there was something weird about it . i -- i set the cigarettes on the table , and then when i went to leave later , they -- they were n't there . rafe : so maybe a customer picked them up . kayla : no , no , no , that -- no , 'cause it was only roman and hope , and at the time i thought -- of course , it did n't even occur to me that she could have taken them because she does n't smoke . but now in hindsight , maybe that 's not such a ludicrous idea . rafe : well , i know hope 's been under a lot of stress lately , but i find it hard to believe she would start smoking . kayla : you know , i 've been hearing all kinds of things that are hard to believe about hope . rafe : what do you mean ? kayla : well , i do n't -- i do n't wan na gossip . rafe : did we not just agree we were talking about someone we care about ? kayla : okay . marlena told me that when she was staying with them , she made a pass at john . rafe : she what ? marlena : excuse me ? are you trying to tell me when and if i can leave salem with my husband ? hope as gina : no , of course not . marlena , i am just trying to protect you . we are all so familiar with stefano 's sick , inexplicable obsession with you . why would you run straight into that danger ? john : sweetheart , you know how much i hate the idea of being away from you , but i think she 's right . i trust you guys . you 've both spent most of your life battling stefano . you know his playbook inside and out . if anybody can predict his next move , it 's you two . hope as gina : true . steve as stefano : you 've got that right . and we have a strong lead on his whereabouts , so we need to jump on it now . john : old man dimera is wanted for international crimes , doc . this could be our one chance to put him away for the rest of his unnatural life . all right , partner , let 's -- let 's strike . i 'll throw some clothes together , and we 'll be ready to roll . marlena : i 'll go with you . hope as gina : dear god , they are terribly codependent . for a moment there i thought we were going to have to fall back on plan a , killing marlena . steve as stefano : no one is dying . remember the plan . hope as gina : yes , yes , i shall . this must work . steve as stefano : you need to have patience . good things come to those who wait . when this is all over , marlena will think john is dead . john will think marlena is dead , and we will both have exactly what we want . julie : i had no idea that hope 's erratic behavior had spilled over to her work . but she has been distracted for quite a while now . abe : yeah , hope has had a traumatic year , what with your surgery and her divorce , her house being flooded . julie , please do n't mention to hope what we 've been talking about . julie : no , no , of course not . abe : so i 'm sorry if i have upset you . julie : no , dear , i 'm no fragile flower . as a matter of fact , i was just coming back from seeing kayla for a checkup . she gave me a clean bill of health . abe : well , that 's good news . julie : yes , it is . unfortunately , i ca n't say the same for my pacemaker . gabi : jj , should i ask harold to bring your car around ? jj : uh , it 's okay . i can wait for abigail here , if -- if you do n't mind . gabi : no , that 's okay . kristen : okay , we got ta get a move on already . we 're up against a hard deadline to , uh , finalize this deal . jj : password . ari 's birthday ?

john : that was the last way i wanted you both to find out . i am so sorry . belle : dad , please , you 've apologized enough . now i want to apologize for giving you such a hard time before . you and tony being brothers , especially now that i know you 're not stefano 's son -- it does n't change anything . brady : it 's not going to affect us , dad . marlena : we wo n't let it . belle : you 're still thbest dad in the whole world . brady : and a great person . i 'm proud of you , dad . that 's not going to change . john : thanks . i needed to hear that . belle : aw . brady : we love you . john : i love you , belle . i love you , son .

bo : well , uh , you were upset . i was questioning you about what was troubling you , and you decided to go pick up zack at your folks ' . you took a couple of steps outside the pub , and you froze . you saw something that scared you , and you fainted . the thing is , there was nothing there , hope . what was it ? what 'd you see that caused you to faint ? sami : wait a second , tony . you ca n't possibly think that i -- that i told the police to go after you . tony : oh , sami , sami , sami , you are such a pathetic liar . sami : hey , look , you are the most hated man in salem , okay ? so anything bad happens , then obviously , the police are going to question you , no prompting necessary . tony : but they were prompted . you snitched to roman that i promised you that i would take care of colin murphy . sami : he told you ? ! oh , god . a - all right . look , i 'm sorry , tony . it 's just that -- tony : yeah , you should have considered the consequences bebefore turning on me . sami : you have no idea what happened , okay ? he made me . my dad said that i had to tell him everything about you and colin if i wanted him to forget about the whole stolen gun fiasco . tony : stolen gun ? my , you 've been one busy lady , have n't you ? sami : wait . i did n't kill colin , if that 's what you 're thinking , okay ? you kn , , i just wanted to threaten him . i - i wanted to scare him off , and -- look , the police have tests that proved that the bullet that killed colin did n't come from my father 's gun . and anyway , i would n't have had to take it in the first place if you had gotten colin to -- off my back . tony : oh , i see . so it 's my fault that you stole your father 's gun , but it 's his fault that you pointed your little finger at me for colin 's murder . sami : in a way . tony : you 've got to take responsibilities for your actions ... and i 'm going to show you how . sami : hey , look , if you hurt me , my mom and john are going to come after you , not to mention my dad and -- and brandon . they already think you killed colin . tony : well , they 're wrong . you 're wrong . but i 'm not going to ... harm you , sami . sami : well , then what do you want from me ? tony : i want you to realize your full potential . john : sorry , kids , but i 'm not a member of the dimera family . stefano was not my father . i have no dimera blood in me . now , if you'llxcxcuse me , i 'd like to spend a little time alone with my -- marlena : rex , cassie , that was very kind . please come in . john : [ sighs ] belle : the flowers are beautiful , are n't they , dad ?

we need to eat and be loved , and the fact that we have years we ca n't remember and phoenix tattoos we ca n't explain makes us more similar to you than diffentnt , mr . black . you know , belle 's told us over and over that you 're a fair man , that you do n't judge , but you have judged my sister and me since the day we came to salem , before you knew a thing about us ! sure does n't seem fair to me . bo : what did you see ? what scared you so much ? hope : i do n't know . bo : hope , we got to talk about this . hope : i do n't remember what i saw , bo . bo : i think you do . you just wish you didn't . hope : why are you being like this ? bo : because i want my wife back . hope , listen . when you were taken away ... you were gone a long time , and when you finally came home , i thought that things would ... you have n't been yourself ever since you were kidnapped by larry . hope : do n't say that man 's name . bo : we got to talk about him . he 's the reason this whole thing has happened , and it 's just getting worse . marlena said that you 're not discussing this with me or her because you 're in denial , and you do n't recognize the symptoms . hope : but after one conversation , she does ? bo : well , yeah . she 's an expert . hope : and what about you ? you 're an expert on me , brady . do you think i 'm sick like that ? bo : i think theenial is understandable . you 're tining to protect yourself , but it 's not working . hope , i ca n't let you go on like this . you need help . you need to talk to some -- let me help you . john : you 're right . i do n't know either of you very well . but i knew stefano all too well , so every time i look at the two of you , all i can remember is the pain that he caused my family . rex : but we 're not responsible for any of that pain . why is that our fault ? john : it 's not . look , maybe down the road , it 'll be proven to me that i have misjudged you . if that 's the case , i 'm sorry . but right now , there 's too many unanswered questions about your past , about what , exactly , stefano had done to you before you arrived in salem for me to let my guard down , let alone trust you . rex : but -- cassie : do n't worry about it , rex . it 's fine . we do n't need belle 's father to accept us as his family . we have tony and marlena . tony told us you spoke , and that you agree that we should think of you as our mother . john : what ? what the hell is she talking about ? marlena : belle , will you take the twins so i can talk to your dad , please ? belle : okay , of course . brady : dad , do n't worry about it . we 're here for you . john : yeah , yeah , i know . i - i can handle this . belle : okay , um , let 's go . i 'll see you later , mom . john : all right , honey , let 's get this straight . tony wants you to be a mother to those dimera clones ? marlena : they 're not clones , john . do n't call them clones . john : did you agree to be a mother to them or not ? marlena : no , i didn't . nyny and i both agree that children need a parental figure . i made it very clear i will not be a mother to them , but i think you need to know something . i feel very close to those twins . i have since the moment i first saw them . john : i know you did , and we both know why . shawn - d : ever since i was a little kid , you and dad always taught me what was right . i remember our first man - to - little - man conversation . 'cause i - i asked you , `` how do i know what right is ? `` and i 'll -- i 'll never forget what you said , grandpa . you said that ...

hope : at myself for letting this happen to my life . bo : hey , it 's just -- hope : how many times have i been separated from my family , taken away by people whwho want to control me ? bo : it 's not your fault . hope : but it keeps happening , brady . i need to understand why it keeps happening to me . bo : it 's not you . larry welch had a vendetta -- hope : he 's not the only one . i do n't know what it is , but there is something about me that makes people think that i 'm weak -- a perfect target , and that has got to stop right now . i have to take control of my own life . bo : is that why you have n't been talking to me about this , 'cause you 're trying to take control ? hope : brady , i do n't know what 's going on with me . but i have to handle it on my own . bo : you 're not handling it . you 're scared , upset . hope : you ca n't rescue me this time . i have to save myself . i have to know that i can do it on my own , because if i do n't , i 'm going to start seeing myself like they see me -- a helpless woman . brady , can you understand that ? bo : yeah . the last thing i want to do is have to rescue you again . sami : you want me to realize my full potential ? what exactly do you mean ? tony : i think you could be much more than you are , achieve much more than you 're achieving right now . sami : oh , great . another father figure to patronize me . you know what ? two is enough . tony : father figure ? no , i do n't think so . i 'm nothing like roman or john . they see you as this docile , boring creature living by the brady code of -- of low expectations and self - sacrifice . but that 's not you . you want to rock the boat . you want to come in first . that 's nothing to be ashamed of . sami : who says i 'm ashamed ? tony : but you feel you do n't deserve what you want . that 's what holds you back . and every time life offers you something that you 've always wanted , you find some way of sabotaging it . sami : you 're just trying to pull a number on me . tony : ha ha ha . no , once you realize your true potential , well , i think you and i will ... begin to trust each other a little more , and then i think this will be the start of something ... well , a beautiful friendship . marlena : cassie and rex were lost , frightened children when they arrived here . they had no memory . they -- they needed protection . of course i feel connected to them . john : no , you felt connected to them because that is exactly what stefano and tony had planned . think about it . right after they shoup , we have the reading for stefano 's will where you are bequeathed a sleeping beauty pillow with the gemini constellation on the back . now , that pillow leads us where ? to the gemini islands and the dimera compound , a place where you were drugged and held for years , and once we get to the compound , what do we find ? that portrait of yours -- beautiful , serene , and very maternal . it 's not a coincidence , doc . this is a dimera plot featuring the twins and you . i 've connected the dots , and i know you have , too . shawn - d : the last thing you need to be doing is worrying about me . but i just wish -- i wish i could confide in you , so you could tell me how to make this right . but then , there 's no way to make this right . shawn : shawn ... there 's always -- always a way . shawn - d : grandpa . shawnshshawn , tell me what happened , huh ? what is it that ... you want to make right , huh ? bo : you 're right . if you feel like a victim , you 're not going to be able to move forward . you need to know that you can take care of yourself . and i just want you to help you do that . i am not going to rescue you . i 'm going to stand beside you as you fight whatever demons it is you have to fight . and you will win . i know you will , and the victory will be all yours and no one else 's . no , look , before we go on here , i got to straighten something out . i 'm not the only one in this relationship who does the rescuing . when we first met , i was pretty angry , a loner . i certainly did n't want to get close to anybody . and you changed that . you gave me an awful lot . because of you , i have a beautiful wife and family . because of you i have a life . and to me , that 's the biggest save of all . hope : it 's larry . bo : what ?

caroline : he sure is . he 's upstairs with his grandfather as we speak . belle : good . caroline : i 'd tell you to join them , but , uh , the doctor said that grandpa shawn should n't have too many visitors tonight . belle : it 's okay . i understand . um , we 'll wait down here and clean up . rex : us too . we 're good at cleaning . caroline : well , lucky me . thank you . well , that 's great . it gives me a chance to call back kayla and kimberly , give them an update on their dad . belle : go for it . i know where everything goes , i think . caroline : great . rex : all right . belle : um , rex , i know what my dad said upset you earlier . rex : he 's never going to give us a break , is he , because of this . belle : just give him some time . he 's been through a lot , you know , learning that he and tony share the same mom . it 's kind of thrown him for a loop . cassie : oh , speaking of sharing mothers , are you sure that you 're okay with rex and me sharing yours ? belle : actually , i do n't really think of it like that . mothers are kind of designed to love a lot of kids at one time . cassie : that 's a nice way of looking at things . belle : yeah . it 's not like girlfriends and boyfriends . that 's an exclusive , no - sharing kind of thing -- like me and shawn ? rex : shawn 's suffered through a lot since we 've met him . maybe he 's used to it . belle : no one ever gets used to suffering , rex . i mean , yeah , shawn 's a really strong guy . but after everything atat happened the night colin was shot , shawn 's seems kind of out of it , and nothing i do seems to help . rex : well , i 'm sure you being there makes him feel better , belle . belle : thanks , but , um , i do n't know . i 'm kind of scared . rex : about what ? belle : that shawn 's shutting me out again , just like he did before . i mean , i know the circumstances are completely different , but i know how he looks when he 's not telling me something , and i hate to think that he ca n't confide in me . i just do n't want to see us hurt again . rex : come here . shawn : wh - what is it ?

hey ... you can talk to me . hope : when larry kidnapped me , the only thing that kept me from falling apart was thinking about you and our family . you were with me . bo : i felt the same thing . hope : when you shot larry , i thought i was free , that that nightmare was over , but it wasn't . because ever since then , it has been larry who has been with me all the time . bo : how ? hope : at first it was -- it was just this feeling of his presence , like he was watching me . i thought it would stop , that i could handle it , but it had only gotten worse . and then one day , i actually ... started seeing him , bo . and people i know would turn into him right before my eyes , even you . i kept telling myself that it was n't real , that he was n't real , that i was seeing things ... bo : but it did n't work ? hope : no . i actually believed that he was right in front of me , that he was going to hurt me . he was following me everywhere -- when i went shopping , when i 'd go grocery shopping , gegagas in the car . i could n't go anywhere without him , and that 's -- that 's why i have n't taken care of the house or myself or zack , 'cause i 've been -- bo : that 's why zack 's been spending more time with his grandparents . hope : you know i hate being separated from him , but i 'm so afraid . i 'm afraid that he 's not safe here with me ... or larry . bo : hey , hey , hey . hope : it 's -- no , wait . bo : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry you 're going through this -- hope : there 's more . something happened the night that colin was murdered . marlena : john , i can understand why you 're concerned about my relationship with the twins , but i think you 're fixating on that because you 're afraid to deal with your relationship with tony . john : afraid to deal -- oh , come on , doc , all i 've been doing is dealing with this insanity ever since we got back from -- from the island . oh . and that 's exactly what tony wants . marlena : what ? i do n't understand . john : is something burning in the kitchen ? marlena : kitchen ? oh , my -- john ! john : diversion , doc . diversion . tony 's game . you shift your focus , you become vulnerable , do n't you see ? we were so close to finding out what happened to you at the compound when you found that letter . the timing was n't an accident . marlena : so he revealed that you 're half - brothers . john : mission accomplished . yeah , but it 's not gon na work . brother or no brother , i 'm gon na interfere , and i 'm gon na stop him . marlena : stop him from what ? john : i 'm gon na stop him from finishing stefano 's plan that he put in motion . doc , is it possible that somehow -- somehow -- you had contact with those twins during your miing years ? marlena : why ? john : because tony is using cassie and rex to reel you in . i mean , stefano may have wanted to possess you , but tony wants a hell of a lot more than that . tony wants -- he wants to create a whole new dimera family , consisting of those genetically altered twins and you . tony : sami , have i left you speechless ? does that mean you 're considering my advice ? because if you are , i 'd like to make one more suggestion , and that is , i think you should stop wasting your energy in chasing brandon walker . i think you can do so much better . sami : wait a second . lexie put you up to this , did n't she ? tony : lexie put me up to what ? sami : manipulating me to dump brandon . well , it 's never gon na happen . tony : my sister did n't put me up to anything . i 'm just looking out for your best interests . sami : the only interests you 're looking out for are hers . she can go to hell just like you ! tony : oh , no , no , no , no . no , you don't . sami : what are you doing ?

[ scene_break ] ej : william horton is a very smart kid , and he needed a job . that 's it . nicole : that 's fine . i do n't have a problem with you helping will . ej : good . you know , he is johnny and sydney 's brother ? nicole : yeah , okay , but there 's more to it than just that . and i deserve to know wha -- ej , this is more than just personal . it 's job stuff , too . i mean , have you forgotten that a crazed jennifer horton attacked me yesterday over this ? i had no idea what she was talking about . i felt like an idiot . ej : you 're not an idiot , nicole . you 'll never be an idiot . look , if it comes down to violence between you and jennifer , my money 's on you . nicole : oh . [ scene_break ] carrie : guess we 'll be needing those fans after all . rafe : yep . but look on the bright side . we got our very own sauna . carrie : [ laughs ] we should charge admission and give the spa some competition . rafe : yeah , which would actually be bringing in more money than the real jobs we have now . carrie : well , thank god we 're married to people who are gainfully employed , right ? rafe : hello . [ chuckling ] [ scene_break ] abe : sweetheart , i 'm as frustrated by ej 's tricks as you are . lexie : [ sighs ] abe : but i do n't have much time to convince the voters to reelect me , so we have to kick this campaign into overdrive . lexie : wha -- i thought we were already there , i -- abe : well ... [ laughs ] i 've got a few tricks up my sleeve . ej may have , uh , co- opted my jobs plan , but there 's no way he can lower the crime rate in salem . hope : yeah , uh , especially considering his specialty is raising it . abe : hmm , yeah . look , you both know as long as i 've been mayor i 've been wanting to launch this anti - crime program , but my hands have been tied by budget constraints . we 've had to cut back on man - hours and personnel on the force . and we need to have bodies on the street to wage this fight . bo : so what 's changed ? we 're still under a budget crunch . abe : what 's changed is i 've been able to move money from one line item on the budget toward crime reduction . bo : well , that 's great . abe : so i 'm authorizing you and hope to hire whoever you need to clean up salem . do it now . and do it fast . [ scene_break ] nicole : the point is n't whether or not jennifer can get the best of me in a catfight . this is about you not sharing critical information with me . i did n't even know that you went on tv about this jobs plan . ej : nicole , you were at the spa , taking a very well - deserved day off . nicole : at your insistence . yeah . now i know why you booked a spa day for me with quinn . you wanted me out of the way while everything went down . god , you know , i should be so furious with you . ej : but you 're not furious with me , are you ? instead , you had a lot of fun kicking ass . [ laughs ] you know your problem , nicole ? hey . you think too much , all right ? now listen , i told you there would be times during this campaign where it would be in your best interest not to know what 's going on . this is one of those times . nicole : wow . ej : i 'm going to take a shower . nicole : [ scoffs ] [ door slams ] nicole : hi , uh , i need some personal files on ej . yes , of course he authorized it . we were just talking about it . [ scene_break ] will : grandma , why should i give my mom a chance ? she 's never given anyone else a chance , especially you . marlena : that 's not so , sweetie . will : how can you say that ? ever since you came back , she 's been treating you like crap . and she 's tried to turn everyone against you . grandma , i do n't even know how -- marlena : how i can love her so ? i do . i love her with my whole heart . i love her humor . i love her intelligence . i love her spirit . and mostly , i love her because she is my daughter . and she feels exactly the same way about you . [ scene_break ] sami : you guys are lucky . uh , when i was working at mad world , um , we , uh -- we did n't even have an office . i mean , we were working out of the titan conference room , and it was brutal . i mean , everyone knew everyone 's business . if i got a call about johnny forgetting his lunch , everybody knew in the company and -- [ sighs ] and if they needed the space we would have to have meetings at the brady pub over clam chowder . i should get back to work . rafe : well , thank you for stopping by . you know ... seeing you is always the highlight of my day , honey . sami : [ laughs ] i have plans , rafe , for the highlight of your night . rafe : well , i like the sound of that . sami : good luck with the heat . carrie : bye .

[ scene_break ] marlena : well , i 'm as much to blame for not healing this relationship as your mother was . we just let our anger and hurt fester too long . that 's why you have to talk to her now . will : i do n't think i can do that . marlena : oh , i think you can . it might be uncomfortable , but it 's important . it 'll make things so much easier later on . promise . [ scene_break ] ej : william . will , i thought we , uh , i thought we were meeting at the , uh , entrance . that does n't matter . you ready to get to work ? will : yeah . marlena : what 's going on here ? will : sorry , i , um , i was waiting at the entrance , but then i - i ran into my grandmother . ej : it 's not a problem . you know how i feel about family . will : mm - hmm . ej : marlena , it 's lovely to see you on such a glorious day . marlena : i 'm hoping there 's a misunderstanding here . will : ye -- ej : william works for me . i mean , he -- he 's my new campaign intern . i can tell you he 's a very valuable member of the team . [ scene_break ] rafe : so what 's going on ? you sounded so official over the phone . bo : well , this is an official meeting . rafe : yeah ? bo : hope and i are heading up a new task force to arrest and prosecute local criminals who 've evaded the law for far too long . hope : and abe 's made it his top priority and given us full authorization to hire whomever we need to get the job done . both : hmm . carrie : what 's all this have to do with rafe and me ? bo : we 'd like to hire the two of you . rafe , because , you know , we need someone to go grab sandwiches and make coffee . hope : [ laughs ] bo : and carrie -- rafe : thank you . bo : you 're welcome . we need your legal expertise on this project . hope : oh , unless , of course , you 're just completely overloaded with all your own cases . [ scene_break ] marlena : if you 'd like to work on a campaign , i can talk to abe for you . will : um , he did n't have any openings . ej : i was very happy to help him out . marlena : i was speaking to will , if you do n't mind . ej : i was merely explaining . marlena : you can merely be quiet . ej : sweetheart . why do n't you take a seat ? nicole : oh . okay . marlena : i 'm sorry . we 're having a private conversation . you were n't invited to join us . ej : [ clears throat ] can i have a look at the menu ? i 'm famished . what 's good here , do you know ? marlena : will , you and me . alone . ej : you go ahead . do n't worry . it 's going to take me a while to pick out something to eat . we can talk when you 're finished . marlena : i guess he got his manners from his father . will : um , i 'll be right back . nicole : grandma 's not happy . ej : well , that 's her problem . now , what 's good for breakfast ? [ scene_break ] bo : what 's up with the silly grins ? rafe : well , it just so happens we recently settled a ... hairy case and as a result we -- we do actually have some room to open up our workload . hope : so does this mean you 'll take on the assignment ? rafe : absolutely . hope : oh , cool . carrie : oh , wait a second . i just want to make sure you understand i 'm a defense attorney , and i 'm one of those people that sometimes gets the bad guys cleared . bo : which makes your perspective , your experience perfect for this because those are the guys who 've been evading prosecution . you know , guys like alfredo moroni . experts at manipulating the legal system . hope : and carrie , you can help us anticipate their strategies so we can outmaneuver them . it 's perfect . bo : who better to show us the ropes than someone who 's spent her career on the wrong side -- at the other side of the defense table ? carrie : oh . bo : huh ? rafe : what ? carrie : all right . i 'm -- i 'm in . bo : great . hope : welcome aboard . rafe : you made the right decision . bo : yes , you did . hope : a toast . bo : yes . hope : we 'll do a little ...

[ scene_break ] bo : see any familiar faces from your days on the force ? rafe : oh , yeah , i do . i 'd like to see a lot of them in jail . hope : i 'm so relieved you were n't too busy to give us a hand . hey , how 's business ? rafe : oh , it 's good . [ clears throat ] i mean , we do n't have a lot of high- profile cases yet . carrie : in fact , our biggest challenges so far have been a broken thermostat and a missing cat . bo : oh , we -- we remember those days . hope : oh , yeah . actually , you know what ? we can , uh , we can , uh , top that . once we had a missing goldfish . carrie : [ laughs ] bo : uh , yeah . and a cat was involved in that case . let 's just say it did not end well . hope : no , it did n't . start - ups take time . rafe : yeah . bo : you know what ? we 'll help you get -- get the word out . carrie : oh , that would be great . we 'd appreciate that . hope : so , um , rafe , sami 's okay with the two of you going into business , huh ? rafe : yeah , she 's been better than okay . she 's been ... great . hope : great . i 'm so happy to hear that . rafe : so are we . hope : yeah . rafe : yeah . carrie : well , i -- i have to admit , it 's been pretty nerve - racking . i mean , from when sami and i were getting along , by which i mean not wanting to strangle each other , but that was when i was living on the other side of the world and now that i 'm back in salem , working with her husband ... hope : things are a little tense . bo : i 'm going to get some coffee . hope : yeah . rafe : well , you know , carrie i have to say that -- hope : i 'm going to grab some too . excuse me . do you want anything ? carrie : no . [ scene_break ] rafe : you know , while you were in switzerland , all i heard about was sami 's smart , successful big sister . carrie : uh - huh . and i 'm sure you heard a lot of not so good things too . rafe : no . carrie : i do n't believe you . rafe : well , i would n't lie to you . carrie : okay , i believe you then , but i 'm sure it 's different now that i 'm back in town , right ? rafe : no . sami 's in a happier place now , and ... i think she wants those things to stay in the past . carrie : good . because nobody wants that more than me . [ scene_break ] lexie : every time i think you ca n't sink any lower , you find yet a deeper cesspool to swim in . ej : alexandra , i have absolutely no idea what you 're talking about . lexie : do n't , ej ! do n't . i 'm putting you both on notice . i 'm calling the debate moderator . i 'm letting her know that there 's a very good chance that your campaign would most likely try and steal the debate questions in advance . nicole : i feel sorry for you , lexie . yeah , you must feel really insecure about abe 's reelection chances to go to such lengths . ej : she 's obviously seen the latest polls . lexie : you got that bump as a result of abe 's plan , not yours . abe : [ snickers ] nicole : ej knows what the people want , and the people want ej . abe : [ laughs ] well , they wo n't once they know the truth . smoke and mirrors ca n't last forever . ej : well , they do n't need to last forever , abe . just needs to last until the election . lexie : [ exasperated sigh ] [ scene_break ] marlena : oh , sami . may i talk to you ? sami : hey , mom . uh , actually , i 'm really busy right now . i 'm working so i got to -- marlena : you 're working for kate . sami : yes . i am . you got a problem with that ? i mean , you 've been after me to get a job since i was 16 years old , and now i have one . a career . but that 's not enough for you , is it ? i 'm still doing something wrong . marlena : those are your words , not mine . is it going well with kate ? sami : yes . marlena : good . i 'm glad to hear that . actually , what i 'd like to talk about is will . sami : what about will ? marlena : i am concerned about him . his employment choices are as mysterious to me as yours . you know that he 's working for ej ? sami : i just found out . marlena : you do n't seem very concerned . sami ... have your feelings for ej changed ? sami : of course not . i despise ej . and i did try to talk will out of taking the job , but i do n't know if you 've noticed or not , but he 's not really listening to me right now . marlena : so , you 're going to leave it at that ? sami : [ angry sigh ] marlena : i just -- i wish you would make one more try at it . sami : where is this coming from ? marlena : will is deeply troubled right now . i 'm sure you 've noticed . he needs his mother more than anything . sami : that 's priceless coming from you . marlena : what does that mean ? sami : where were you when i needed you ? some mornings , getting the family together for breakfast [ scene_break ] lexie : you know , ej ... on a few rare occasions i actually thought i glimpsed a real human being inside of you , but i - i guess it was just my imagination .

[ scene_break ] abe : that 's the last chuckle we 'll have together . let 's go , lexie . nicole : are you all right ? ej : i 'm fine . great . no texts from will . how long does it take to pick up some bloody posters ? nicole : well , the , uh , look on marlena 's face when she found out will was working for you is priceless . ej : yeah . nicole : i wish i could see the look on sami 's face -- i 'm assuming she knows . ej : nicole , i know what you 're doing , all right ? i 'm not answering any questions about william , so just drop it . okay ? [ scene_break ] marlena : sami . let 's not make this about us , all right ? let 's make it about will . about his need for his mother . sami : well , that 's an easy way to avoid answering the question , but you do n't have an answer , do you ? marlena : not one that would satisfy you after all these years . sami : right . people call me selfish , and i know exactly where i got it from . john always comes first for you . he always has . his happiness -- your happiness were always more important to you than your own daughter . marlena : that 's not so . i 've tried to make it right with you . you wo n't let me . sometimes i think that you resist healing our relationship because you really enjoy turning the knife too much . sami : you are such a hypocrite . you want everyone to see you as this wonderful mother , but you do n't actually want to do the work , do you ? i mean , all those times you were n't there for me . and you have never answered for it . how about when i married rafe ? when my daughter grace died ? john was sick so that was more important . marlena : oh , sami , please . sami : and then you were even in salem , and johnny is missing . he could be dead , and where are you ? not with us . could n't be there for us because of john . marlena : [ sighs ] sami : nothing to say about that , huh ? marlena : i think there 's been enough conversation already . sami : i could n't agree with you more . let 's not talk about it ever again , shall we ? and one more thing . do n't you dare tell me how to be a good mother . why do n't you spend some time wondering why you were n't one ? tony , pick it up . you know i 'm just not feeling the wood cutting thing today .

[ scene_break ] nicole : i will stop pestering you about will horton for the moment ... if you 're straight with me about lexie . ej : okay . what would you like to know about lexie ? nicole : i know you love your sister . so that tongue lashing had a sting . but i think lexie 's outrage really stems from the realization that her husband could lose this election . ej : her husband will lose this election . nicole : so you do n't care about what she says , then ? because i feel like she meant it . she may never speak to you again . ej : i 'm not going to lose any sleep about that , okay ? she 'll come around . she always does .

nicole : i heard kate talking to billie -- well , gloating is more like it . she gave jennifer the dirt on you . chloe : no ... nicole : and i 'm not talking about your overdue library books .

[ machinery beeping ] justin : what do you mean , victor and xander had nothing to do with jordan 's death ? you were so adamant about their guilt . ciara : i know . i know i was , but after i broke the news to ben , i came back here , and i confronted grandpa again , and xander was here too , and they , uh -- well , they convinced me that they did n't do it . justin : how ? did n't you hear them admit that they sent an innocent man to prison ? [ gentle music ] will : what -- what 's this ? sonny : our divorce papers . my dad just got them from your lawyer . will : you could 've just signed them and given them to justin . sonny : i know . but i felt that we owed it to each other to sit down face to face , look each other in the eyes , and agree that ending our marriage is the right thing to do . so i 'm gon na ask you one more time , is this really , truly what you want ? as a caricature artist , [ gentle music ] will : of course this is n't what i want , but like you said , our marriage was over the day that i killed your mother . so i got ta let you go now , and you got ta go on and live your life . sonny : please , i ca n't let go , and i ca n't move on . will : well , you have to ! you have to , sonny . you do n't understand . i had a dream , and your mother was here . your mother was right here . she said that i ruined all of our lives , and i did . sonny : okay , but our lives are not over . will : well , adrienne 's is ! sonny : we are still here . will : adrienne is gone , and she 's not coming back , and i ca n't undo it . no amount of prison time or apologies or love will -- will ever fix this . [ gentle music ] there 's only one thing left to do . your turn . justin : were n't you listening in when victor and xander said they sent an innocent man to prison ? ciara : yes , i was eavesdropping . justin : okay , then i do n't understand . how did they possibly explain that admission ? ciara : i misunderstood . i guess i wanted to save ben so badly that i just -- i heard what i wanted to hear . justin : hmm . so then you do think ben killed jordan after all ? ciara : god no , no , of course not , i just -- i also know that grandpa and xander did n't do it either . justin : hey . maggie : hi . justin : hey , how 's uncle vic doing ? maggie : oh , his usual . he refuses to avoid stress , and now his blood pressure 's elevated . justin : oh . maggie : so i 'm going down to get him some green tea , not that he 'll drink it . oh , by the way , i have been carrying this around with me . it 's -- sonny left it behind . justin : sonny 's . oh , i 'll make sure to give it to him . maggie : okay . justin : he just went over to the prison to visit will . maggie : really ? justin : yeah , it 's possible that they are signing their divorce papers as we speak . maggie : oh , i just ca n't believe it . so there 's no hope for their marriage ? justin : will does n't think so . he thinks that the damage that was done when he killed adrienne is beyond repair . maggie : oh . victor : so did ciara promise to keep our secret ? xander : no . victor : what do you mean , no ? xander : i tried , but then sarah came home , and ciara took off . to be honest , right now i 'm more concerned about mackenzie . i 've been at the center of that little girl 's life from the very beginning , but now i 'm poison just because eric says so . victor : well , he is her father . xander : technically , but he does n't know her at all . it just kills me that he gets to be a part of her life and i don't . at least sarah 's gon na let me stay in the mansion , so maybe there 's some hope . victor : of course there 's hope . i 'm gon na tell you the same thing i told maggie . mackenzie is going to be fine . after everything that this family has been through , she has to be . eric : the chemo 's not working ? sarah : we -- we knew that there were no guarantees , but mickey seemed to be responding so well . kayla : unfortunately , her numbers say otherwise . eric : so what do we do now ? i mean , there 's got ta be something we can do , right ? kayla : yes , yes , and we are not giving up by any means . there are other ways to treat this . sarah : a bone marrow transplant . kayla : yeah . it 's her best hope at this point . [ somber music ] these are real people , kayla : while many children with neuroblastoma can be cured with chemotherapy and radiation , those at high risk like mackenzie do n't necessarily respond as well . eric : so the next step is a bone marrow transplant ? she is an infant . sarah : it 's our only choice , eric . and our best hope at a match for mackenzie is a full sibling . eric : but she does n't have that . kayla : well , the next step would be to test the parents . eric : okay , so how soon can we do that ? kayla : we can do it right now . i will draw the blood myself and get the lab to rush it . eric : all right , do i need to wait in an exam room -- kayla : nope , you stay right here ; i 'm just gon na go get what i need and i 'll be right back , okay ? eric : kayla , thank you . kayla : yeah . sarah : the odds of one of us being a match are n't good , but -- but we will hope . eric : and pray . nicole : let 's hear it , kristen , huh ? what are you gon na do to me ? kristen : keep speaking , and you will find out . brady : why do n't you give me a moment alone with kristen before she does something she 's gon na regret ? kristen : i do n't think i 'd regret doing anything to her . brady : you know , baby , let me -- let me handle this , okay ? nicole : fine . brady : all right . nicole : i wo n't be able to get anything done with this crazy in the room . ooh . brady : you want to work here , you 're gon na have to deal with it . i 'm in love with nicole , and that 's not gon na change , kristen . kristen : you do n't love her . you 're just using her to push me away , and she 's using you because she lost eric and ca n't stand to be alone , hmm ? oh , come on . come on , brady . oh , i get it , i get it . i hurt you , and i -- i know that you 're doing this to protect yourself , you know ? coming up with this lie , this shield to keep me at bay . but we both know , we both feel that what you have with nicole does n't -- does n't come close to the connection that we have . brady : no , no . don't . kristen : what ? i 'm just talking about an emotional connection . brady : emotional ? what -- our what ? kristen : you do n't recall , do you ? that 's okay . it 's okay . i 'll refresh your memory . you remember this ? maggie : divorce , it 's so final and so sad . my heart , it just breaks for will and sonny . justin : mine too . maggie : yeah . justin : but it 's their decision , and we have to respect it . i have to get to the office . hey . maggie : hey . justin : give victor a hug for me . maggie : i will . thanks . justin : and you , hey , you hang in there . i 'm here if you need me , okay ? ciara : okay . maggie : bye . thanks .

[ scene_break ] bo : billie disappeared . how ? when ? russell : two days ago in eastern europe , but how and why -- we have no idea . hope : oh , my gosh , how terrible . bo : what the hell kind of assignment was she on ? undercover , what ? russell : well , that 's the disturbing part . her assignment was n't dangerous at all . she was part of a security detail for a mid - level diplomat on a cultural exchange mission . one morning , she just did n't show up for duty . well , we checked her room out , of course . her bed had been slept in , and all her belongings were in the room , but , uh ... she had just vanished without a trace . bo : oh , damn . it 's my fault ... if she 's dead . if something 's happened to her , it 's my fault . russell : bo , i do n't understand . how could you possibly blame yourself for what happed d to billie ? bo : you know what happened to her last time she was here in salem . russell : of course . i read the report , and i discussed it with shane donovan before she was offered a position with the i.s.a . bo : well , then , you know i did n't want her here in salem . i practically forced her out of town and into that i.s.a . job . hope : bo , wait , wait , wait a minute . billie knew the risks , and you did not force her . billie is a very strong and independent woman . trust me , nobody forces that girl to do anything . she chose to go , bo . and if anyone encouraged her , it was roman . russell : hope 's right , you know . it was on roman 's recommendation that she was hired and sent to europe in the first place . bo : all right , fine . look , why are you here ? there 's no way i can help her when she 's in europe , i 'm here in salem . russell : that 's not necessarily true . see , ordinarily , the i.s.a . would take care of this solo , but when we searched her room ... we found these . bo : newspaper clippings . russell : of all the salem murders . bo : yeah , well , that should n't surprise you . she 's interested in these murders 'cause people she cares about have died . russell : right , but there 's something else . bo : what 's that ? russell : well , on the day billie disappeared , the i.s.a . intercepted a voice message from her . it was to you , bo . [ scene_break ] belle : wow , i did n't even know someone could own a tiger . doug : well , actually , `` own `` is the wrong word . i mean , nobody really ever owns a wild animal , but at least for the moment , we are responsible for him . shawn - d : wow , that 's a pretty big responsibility . julie : oh , you do n't know the half of it , kiddo . ha ha . but it 's very rewarding , 'cause he 's such a sweetie . marlena : where is he from ? doug : oh , let me tell you . we were wending our way through south america . we came across this tacky traveling carnival ... julie : and of course , the tiger was the featured attraction . doug : okay . we see immediately that the tiger has been terribly mistreated . julie : oh , it was heartbreaking . he was in a tiny little cage , he was underfed , he was listless -- well , i cried . doug : yes . julie became obsessed . julie : so unlike me . doug : so we called the local authorities , we told them what was going on ... julie : and they said , `` oh , that 's terrible , señora . we can do nothing . nada . `` mickey : huh . doug : nada . so we got ahold of the owner of the carnival , made him an offer he could n't refuse . julie : and bought the tiger . ha ha . like he was some big stuffed toy . belle : that 's amazing . i ca n't believe that you did that . doug : i ca n't believe it , either , but there he is in all his glory . julie : yes , and so then , we had him fed properly and treated and have been nursing him back to health . shawn - d : well , the tiger looks as healthy as ever . julie : well , he is healthy , and we 're very proud of that . doug : now , the plan was to send the tiger to india and set him free . julie : but then we talked to the animal experts , and they said no , no . he ca n't be allowed to go back into the wild . doug : that 's right . they told us that since the tiger had been brought up in captivity , that there was no way that he could acclimate himself ever to living in the real jungle . bonnie : does that mean the tiger is tame ? julie : oh , no . no wild animal is ever really tame , but this guy -- he 's as close as you get . ha ha ha . how you doing there , pussy face ? how you doing , sweetheart ? ohh . bonnie : you are so cute . yes , you are . who 's a good kitty ? who 's a good kitty ? ha ha . who 's a pretty kitty ?

[ tiger growling ] [ max barking ] man : that 's all right , folks . it 's the dog barking . julie : yes , i 'm sure that 's just what frightened him . belle : the tiger was scared . bonnie : max , shh . be quiet . i - i 'm really sorry , everyone . i did n't mean to cause any trouble . doug : it 's no problem . do n't worry about it . it was n't your fault , bonnie . bonnie : look , mickey , if celeste thinks there 's going to be another murder , then -- hey , you know , everyone , we would love to stick around and chew the fat , but , um , mickey and i were going shopping , so maybe we ought to get moving . mickey : ha ha . wait a second . how long are you two going to be in town ? doug : well , it 's indefinite . we want to be here for alice . we want to be here for jennifer . we know what a terrible time you 've all been going through . we just feel that we need to be here right now . julie : at least for a while . mickey : oh , that 's great . mom will be so happy to have you here , not to mention hope and jennifer and everybody . julie : yes . it 's good to be back . doug : it 's so good to be home . mickey : yeah . well , we need to run along , so you take care of yourselves , okay ? doug : okay . julie : bye , uncle mickey . mickey : see ya . bonnie : bye , y ' all . julie : bonnie . man : mr. williams , we need to talk about how we 're going to take care of this animal . julie : oh , yeah , the feeding schedules , the watering . um , before the rest of the circus gets here . doug : okay , well , if you 'll all excuse us for just a few minutes ... john : certainly . marlena : celeste ... are you sure this is the tiger that you saw in your vision ? celeste : yes . but then again , i - i do n't see how it can be . the animal in my vision was -- was vicious , a killer . marlena : doug and julie said that this tiger is completely docile . tony : well , all animals are inherently docile until they 're hungry , angry , threatened , or provoked . shawn - d : yeah , just like a human serial killer . but then , you 'd know all about that , would n't you , tony ? tony : why do n't you get out of my face ? shawn - d : i still think you 're the one , and so does my father , and do n't try and give me that crap that you think it 's a woman , 'cause we all know you try to sell that theory to get the suspicion off yourself . tony : you 're wrong , shawn . i want this killer caught just as much as you do . maybe more . [ scene_break ] john : you know , doc , i understand why you 're reacting this way . you 're scared because you -- you feel alone and vulnerable . you 're all by yourself in the penthouse with no protection , and that 's just wrong , especially now . i want you to let me move back in . belle : i 'm sorry . i know , um , this is between you and dad , but , mom , i just want you to know that i would feel so much better if you let dad move back in with you . he loves you . he would never hurt you , and you know that . so please just think about it . let dad move back in with you , at least for your protection . john : i 'll swing by and pick up my clothes on the way to the pub , and then we can go home together . how about that ? marlena : no , no . john : what is wrong ? marlena : i do n't want you to move back in with me . john : well , now , when you say that , you mean not today or -- or ever ?

[ scene_break ] celeste : anthony . listen . this tiger arriving in salem today -- it is n't a coincidence . it 's an omen -- and a bad one . and i fear that it means there are more deaths to come . tony : i could n't agree with you more . all the more reason why we should catch this killer before she strikes again . belle : you just referred to the killer as a she . how are you so sure that it 's a woman ? tony : well , i ca n't be positive , but victor kiriakis believes that the killer is female , and makes quite a convincing argument . belle : what argument ? tony : that all the victims were caught by surprise , except for caroline brady -- she was poisoned . now , that 's definitely a woman 's choice of weapon . yes , i know now you think that your father 's not the killer and therefore ca n't do your mother in , but what if the killer turned out to be your half - sister samantha ? [ scene_break ] shawn - d : so what do you think is going on with her ? why do you think marlena 's acting this way ? john : the dimeras have targeted marlena before . this could just be another one of their plans to get to her . s shawn - d : you mean ... john : the killer ? exactly what i mean . i hate to even think along those lines , but god knows it 's a possibility . shawn - d : listen , john , i know she wo n't let you do anything for her right now , so how about i keep an eye on her ? would that be a help ? john : i 'd appreciate that . thanks . just do n't discuss this with belle . she 's frightened enough as it is , all right ? belle : do n't discuss what with me ? [ scene_break ] tony : this is a perfect weapon , is n't it , this tiger ? it 's strong , quiet , deadly , relentless , and virtually untraceable . if it were to maul a human , i suppose it would be written off as a freak accident . tell me , is it possible that this is what your vision meant , that the killer would use this animal as its weapon ? celeste : well , it 's ... possible , but ... let 's thank the stars that this tiger is locked up and under close watch . i 'll see you later . tony : oh ... it must be terrible being cooped up in this cage . and claustrophobic ... the truly humane thing to do would be to open this cage door and let you run free . [ scene_break ] russell : i ca n't believe what i 'm hearing . you refuse to lift a finger to help this woman even though you were married to her at one time ? bo : my having been married to billie is not the point . russell : then what is ? billie 's a valued agent , and the i.s.a . want her found and brought back safely . i thought i could depend on you . bo : under normal circumstances , i would love to help her , but if you happened to read those newspaper clippings , you know there 's a serial killer running around salem . and this monster has already brutally murdered six people . i just buried my brother and mother . and there are more people in this city that i care about who are in danger , like my wife and son . you 're going to have to find billie on your own . hope : bo , no . bo : what ? hope : you ca n't do this . you need to help billie . you need to go after her . now . today .

[ clears throat ] well , uh , the person that sent that file did a pretty good job of covering their tracks . charlotte : damn . kevin : but not good enough . so , uh , the file -- it went from this computer to another , and i now have the name of the recipient , yes . charlotte : great . okay . who 'd it go to ? kevin : um , dr. marlena evans .

kate : hmm . well , i guess i could see melanie in that . vivian : although you 'd probably rather see her in a coffin . tell me , kate , do you plan to let this daughter - in - law live ? kate : no one asked you to sit down . vivian : poor kate , looking through magazines , imagining herself at a wedding she wo n't see . you know , i think of my son as almost perfect . but philip does n't forgive so easily , especially since you have -- kate : do n't you ever refer to him as your son ever again . vivian : ow !

[ sniffles ] i was so lucky ... to have him as a dad . maggie : do you know every time you called and he hung up , he 'd say , `` our g -- our girl ... that girl of ours `` ? he loved you so much . uh , you know , maybe you could , uh , get me a cup of tea . would you mind ? melissa : i would be happy to . maggie : okay .

[ scene_break ] philip : i do n't know , bo . i 'm sorry , i do n't buy it . bo : what 's not to buy ? carly and i love each other . philip : what about your marriage ? what about hope ? look , you 're still wearing your wedding ring . bo : our marriage is over . and , um ... i would appreciate it if you kept all this stuff about me and carly to yourself . philip : [ scoffs ] it seems like a lot of people already know . bo : [ chuckles ] right . i 'm talking about how long it 's been going on . you know , if hope heard ... she 's been through enough already . philip : i agree with you on that . bo : yeah , so ... great . you 'll keep it under your hat . um , i got to get out of here . tell melanie congratulations for me . vivian : philip . bo . are you here to see hope ? is this the beginning of a detente ? will love triumph ? bo : do you ever exercise your right to remain silent ? philip : hey , take care , man . vivian : you know , bo is your brother , but i think he has a very sour approach on life . philip : he 's just got a lot on his plate right now . vivian : well , having an affair with carly would make anyone sour . name any happy person . and also ... if you 're asking someone to keep quiet about an affair , would n't you keep your voice down ? philip : you were listening in ? vivian : philip , is n't this salem ? is this not the kiriakis mansion ? am i not vivian alamain ? of course i was listening . so carly came to salem to see bo . philip : okay , if you were listening in , you also heard him say this will hurt hope if she finds out . vivian : poor hope . talk about collateral damage . [ scene_break ] carly : lawrence ... let me hold her . lawrence : oh , do n't spoil my fun . i 'm just getting to know her . carly : it 's just that i just got to hold her for a second . lawrence : did i tell you about my morning ? i - i did n't think too much of it at the time , but i was having my coffee . and one second the cup was in my hand , the next ... on the floor , smashed to pieces . carly : what ? lawrence : like i said , i did n't think too much about it until later . i was on the phone -- dropped it . it just fell to the floor . i - i think maybe the emotions of this day have made me clumsy . [ baby fussing ] carly : give her to me . lawrence : i have to ask myself ... what do i drop next ? [ scene_break ] kate : so it just struck me that i had to know how you were doing . and i 'm glad that i did . it must have been difficult for you to say good - bye to melissa . maggie : yeah , it was n't easy . kate : well , i told myself that i was just going to drive right by if there were n't any cars here . but actually , i do n't think that you should be alone tonight , maggie . maggie : i 'm fine , kate . kate : kind of surprised that -- that melanie 's not here . maggie : why would you say that ? kate : well , i was just talking to someone who -- who she works with at the hospital , and they were telling me how the -- how close the two of you have gotten . maggie : yes , we are , but she has her own life . do you want some tea or something ? kate : no . actually , i should be asking you that . i mean , i 'm here to take care of you . maggie : whether i want it or not ? kate : [ laughs ] tea ! imagine having to deal with something like this with nothing stronger than tea . maggie : uh , i 'm actually a little tired . kate : you know , mickey was a lovely , lovely man . he was fair ... tolerant . i ca n't imagine another man allowing you to fill up your house with all of your strays . maggie : he liked a full house ... liked kids . kate : hmm . even kids like melanie ? i mean , i ad -- i adore her now . i mean , i really do . i am so thrilled with philip and -- and all of that , but she was a real handful when she first came to town , was n't she ? maggie : she had a lot to deal with . kate : yeah , well , thank god for you and mickey . i mean , i do n't know how you did it , but you got through her defenses , and , well , you got through to the real melanie . maggie : would you like to take notes ? kate : excuse me ? maggie : that 's why you 're here , right ? you 're not really here ... because you care the mickey died . you 're here because you want to know how to fool that poor girl into thinking you 're human . kate : oh , maggie -- maggie : oh , no , no , no , no . wait a minute . hmm , i get it . you 're in competition with vivian , and you 're trying to get melanie out of her camp and into yours . [ sighs ] but you know what ? you have a few strikes against you , kate . you tried to poison your previous daughter - in - law , and you married the man who tried to kill your beloved philip , but mainly ... melanie . she 's a very smart young woman , and she can see through you . [ scene_break ] vivian : so if carly came to salem to see bo , maybe the daughter has nothing to do with this . philip : hmm , you know what they say about people who talk to themselves . vivian : philip , you and bo are very close , are n't you ? philip : yeah , i guess . vivian : so does he usually open up to you like that about his tacky , tawdry , disgusting , nauseating -- philip : get to the noun , vivian . vivian : he was telling you about his affair with carly . does he always open up like that ? philip : okay , let 's get something straight . i want you to listen to me very carefully . i think we -- and by `` we `` i mean `` you '' -- should just forget about what bo said . vivian : really ? philip : as we 've established , the walls in this house have ears . and i do n't want hope getting hurt any more than she already has been . vivian : you wound me , my darling . i am the soul of discretion . philip : everyone says so . vivian : and i would never do anything to hurt hope . philip : unless it hurt carly more . [ scene_break ] abe : you did what ? bo : you heard me . abe : i ca n't have heard you correctly ... because i thought you said that you purposely led vivian to believe that carly came back to salem for you . bo : yeah , i did . abe : what the hell were you thinking ? bo : i 'm trying to throw vivian off the track . abe : but what do you think that vivian , who lives out there where the buses do n't run , is gon na do with this misinformation ? who do you think is gon na get slammed in the face with this ? bo : hope . abe : you think about her at all ... or just carly ? [ scene_break ] carly : lawrence , you 're scaring me . lawrence : ooh ! carly : oh , god ! lawrence : oh , sorry . you were saying ? carly : she 's just a baby . you -- you would n't hurt her . lawrence : yes , but that 's the problem , is n't it ? she 's not just a baby . carly : what ? lawrence : she 's the living , breathing personification of your betrayal ... the constant reminder that your mommy , my wife , is a whore . carly : take it out on me , not her , okay ? lawrence : but i love you . oh , carly , you and this little consequence have put me in a terrible position . all i want from life is to live happily with you . but she makes that impossible . but there is one simple , very permanent solution . carly : no . no . no . listen , i 'll stay with you . lawrence : oh , that 's a given , carly . carly : and i 'll give her away . lawrence : and never see her again ? carly : i 'll never see her again . lawrence : i think we 're making some real progress here . carly : [ sobbing ] [ scene_break ] nathan : wow . the tom horton award for intern of the year . stephanie : i am so proud of you . nathan : you do n't think that they gave this to me because of mickey dying , do you ? you do n't think that they felt sorry for me ? stephanie : no . no , definitely not , because the vote was over a week ago . nathan : oh . [ both chuckle ] you know who would have got a good kick out of this ? grandpa mickey . stephanie : nathan ... he did . i showed it to him . [ scene_break ] kate : i ca n't believe that you think that 's the only reason i came here tonight . maggie : why , because you poison people and you manufacture evidence against innocent men ? and yet you 'd stop at pumping me for information about melanie ? kate : [ chuckles ] i think you 're overreacting . i 'm curious about melanie . yes , i am . she 's going to marry my son . maggie : and you 're looking for any way , some way to get back to philip . okay , i 'll tell you a little bit about melanie . she 's very young . she 's alone in the world . and you 'll probably think she 's an easy target . but you know what ? she has me in her corner . now , i 'm gon na be watching you like a hawk . so you leave her and her fiancé alone , or you 're gon na have me to deal with . and it 's gon na be the me without mickey to calm me down ... to stop me from getting down to your level , the me that 's kind of itching for a fight , you know ? kate : gee , maggie , i never intended to upset you . maggie : oh , you did n't upset me . you ticked me off . now get out of my house ! kate : ah , so i guess we 'll just pretend that this never happened ? maggie : not a chance . that felt good . [ scene_break ] abe : your life is a mess . bo : [ laughs ] i actually knew that . abe : and behind it all is carly , right ? bo : because vivian is harassing her . abe : and letting vivian think that carly came here to see you , it solves ... ? wait a minute , wait a minute . you said that you wanted to get vivian off the trail . of what ? when carly came back here , she had assassins after her . and vivian pulled them off , because ... because there 's something bigger out there . right ? bo : right . carly 's got a secret . abe : and you know what that secret is , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] carly : you -- you came back . melanie : do n't get excited . i just forgot my jacket . carly : yeah , i was just worried , um ... that you were gon na drop out of this program because of me . melanie : that 's kind of egotistical , do n't you think ? i mean , you do n't -- you do n't matter to me . carly : you know , i was going through your file earlier , and -- and you 're a real asset to this hospital . melanie : my file is filled with reprimands . carly : look , this is your future we 're talking about . melanie : no , my future is being mrs. kiriakis . and , yeah , i 'm changing my last name , because mine does n't really mean that much to me . carly : just because you get married does n't mean you ca n't have a career . melanie : oh , marital advice from the husband killer . that 's great . look , lady , not that this is really any of your business , but my career is going to be a full - time mom . turns out i am an old - fashioned kind of girl . carly : children ? children -- children are good . but you 're young . i mean , you have all this time . you could wait . melanie : philip and i do n't want to wait . we do n't want to wait . we have daydreams of being great parents with -- with happy kids . and given how philip and i grew up , it 's not really that hard to understand . carly : what do you mean how you grew up ? you had a family , did n't you ? melanie : i did n't say that i had a family . i had a daddy . you really would have loved him . one of the best - read , well - spoken pimps you would ever hope to meet . carly : pimp ? melanie : yeah , he specialized in the clients who liked them young and inexperienced . carly : no . melanie : no , it 's fine . daddy took care of me . i mean , he only pimped me out when his bookies were coming after him with a baseball bat to the kneecaps . but unfortunately for me , daddy was n't a good gambler . carly : i 'm so sorry . melanie : it worked out . he was murdered . it 's like getting out of prison . both of my parents are dead ... best thing that could ever happen to me . [ scene_break ] stephanie : you know , it was strange , because i was working on the press release , and i remembered maggie saying they were going on a cruise , so i wanted to show your grandfather before they left . nathan : what did he say when he saw it ? stephanie : the truth ? he said , `` make sure that kid does n't get a swelled head . `` and then he turned the other way so i could n't see the tears in his eyes . nathan : i do n't think i 'm ever gon na stop missing him . [ scene_break ] vivian : i think you could be on the wrong track . gus : but we have proof , madame , that dr. manning did have a child . vivian : i - i 'm not saying carly does n't have a child somewhere out there . she might not even be in salem . but carly may have come here just to be with her soul mate . she may have killed lawrence just to be with bo . [ scene_break ] abe : you know , i can see that you not only know what the secret is , but you 're not gon na tell me . bo : nope . abe : and you could n't tell hope either , could you ? bo : no , i could n't . abe : oh , well , that 's great . you two need further complications . bo : hey , hope and i were having problems before carly showed up . remember , hope had moved out of the house . abe : you know , all i 'm saying is that you 'd have a lot better chance of working things out if carly had n't come running to you . bo : she had her reasons . abe : and she wants to make you part and parcel of the whole thing . bo , be honest . your life would be a hell of a lot simpler if dr. manning had never come back . [ scene_break ] carly : you 're glad your mother 's dead ? did you even know her ? melanie : no . i know what she was like , though . carly : how ? melanie : it 's not hard to figure out . if she was hanging around with men like my father , she must have been a real piece of work . carly : maybe -- maybe she did n't know what kind of man he really was . melanie : are you defending her ? carly : i 'm just saying that i 'm certain that your mother loved you very much . melanie : that 's a little arrogant , do n't you think ? telling me about my life when you do n't know anything at all ? this conversation is over . i do n't need your sentimental crap . i was raised knowing you ca n't trust anyone or anything , and it has only made me stronger . so please , please just stay out of my life . carly : oh , god , what have i done to you ? what have i done ? [ scene_break ] nathan : hey , steph ... um , everything you 've done for me -- i really appreciate it . stephanie : i just gave your grandfather some good news . it was fun . nathan : no , you did a lot more than that . you really got me through this . and i ... i do n't know how to express to you how thankful i am for that . thank you . [ scene_break ] bo : as i said , hope had moved out of the house with our daughter , not telling me where they were for how long ? so , yeah , i had a bit of spare time and decided to help carly . abe : because everyone , including carly , knows how often you turn your back on a woman in trouble . bo : yeah , well ... hope 's in trouble . abe : what ? bo : it 's ... the way she found out about me and carly . and if vivian tells her what i said , it 's ... abe : look , what if you went and told her the truth , that you were playing vivian ? bo : i ca n't do that . abe : you do n't trust her to keep it quiet ? bo : you know what ? i have trusted her , and victor ended up -- look , they all live in the same house . if vivian finds out i was lying , she 'll know i was trying to throw her off the scent . abe : so ? bo : it will infuriate her . you know her . she 's a dangerous , unstable person . it 'll make things that much more dangerous for carly . abe : so what are you gon na do ? bo : the only thing i can do . wait till this whole thing is over and then tell hope the truth . abe : [ chuckles ] you think this is all going to have a happy ending ? bo : i 'm trying to make that happen , yeah , but ... no , i would n't bet on it .

[ scene_break ] kate : they 're hot . sami : and that 's exactly what we need for this campaign . kate : i mean , i have to say , i 'm really surprised . this came out much better than i thought . sami : and those are just the test shots . i mean , look at the potential . those two definitely belong in a fashion magazine . kate : yeah , yeah . i mean , they pop off the page . that 's for sure . sami : i really believe we have found the faces to represent the countess wilhelmina youth line . kate : you know , you could be right . and the best part of it is it would blow madison james and her little company right out of the water . [ scene_break ] bo : you stare at that key any longer , you 're gon na burn a hole in it . hope : sorry . i 'm just trying to figure out what our next move is . bo : yeah , well , first things first . do you agree with me that stefano could be the other holder on mrs. h 's safe deposit box ? hope : i hate to say it , but , yes , i do . he 's been connected to almost everything from the beginning . bo : yeah , so ... how do we secure his cooperation ? i mean , 'cause if he 's involved , he 's not gon na admit it to us . hope : we 're just gon na have to figure out a way to get him to talk , because if we do n't , we may never find out the truth . we could still try to subpoena the bank records . bo : hope , no crime has been committed . hope : or maybe get a search warrant for stefano 's house , see if we can find the other key to open the box . bo : oh , fancy face -- hope : i know it 's a long shot , but -- bo : it 's more than a long shot . banks are protected by the law . no judge is gon na sign off on a search warrant based on speculation . hope : i ca n't believe you shot me down . seriously , i 'm willing to try just about anything right now . in fact , last night i even debated breaking into stefano dimera 's house . bo : excuse me ? hope : well , obviously i would 've waited till no one was there . bo : oh , well , that makes me feel so much better . i want to get to the bottom of this , too , but i draw the line at anything where you 're gon na be arrested ... 'cause then i 'd have to break you out of jail . we know how that goes . hope : i guess we do know how that goes . bo : so let 's keep our operations on the up and up . hope : why should we ? nobody else is playing by the rules . bo : because that 's how we roll -- we play by the rules ... more or less . and most times it works out for us . hope : and what if it does n't this time ? bo : would you please try to have some faith ? hope : brady , i am serious here , okay ? what happens if we run out of options and we never find out whatever it is that we 're looking for ? what if ? [ scene_break ] sami : grazie , massimo . kate : i ca n't get over how good these two look together . sami : what do you think of the slogan `` youth is served `` ? kate : who 's idea is that ? sami : mine . what ? if you do n't like it , just say so . kate : you know what i do n't like ? every time i give you a compliment , you find some way to lord it over me . and i find that really annoying . so i 'm never gon na tell you that ... well , how much potential this campaign has -- most potential that i 've seen in years . and i certainly would n't tell you how you hit the ground running here at countess wilhelmina and made a lot of my executives look like amateurs . and i would never , ever want to tell you that hiring you is one of the smartest things i 've done in years . sami : well , damn . 'cause it would 've been nice to hear that . [ scene_break ] bo : i 'll find it . i 'll find it . hope : you 're not doing it fast enough . madison : hi . sorry , excuse me . i 'm sorry to interrupt . i 'm madison james . we met once before at the town square . i was with brady . bo : yes , i remember . victor , my father , speaks very highly of you . hope : i 've been hearing nothing but incredible things about your work at mad world . madison : oh , well , thank you . um , that 's actually what i wanted to talk to you about . hope : me , why ? madison : i 'm just curious -- how much do you love being a cop ? [ scene_break ] stefano : well , i knew ... that you would react that way , but i was hoping you would hear me out . chad : why ? what 's the point ? stefano : the point is you do n't know what i am offering you . chad : what , that i 'm gon na regret saying no to you ? i 'll take my chances . stefano : do n't let your pride get in the way of any success , all right , chad ? because to start a business , at any time , is difficult . to start a business in this day and age , they are ready to knock your head off right from the start . chad : you think i do n't know that ? stefano : i know that our relationship has been strained lately . but i am still your father . and it 's every father 's duty to see that their children reach their top potential . chad : so what is it ? i 'm nothing without you ? is that what you 're saying ? stefano : do n't even think about the name stefano dimera being anywhere in the business . no , nothing like that . i am simply a silent partner . chad : silent partner . stefano : mm . chad : meaning i 'm the only one who knows where the money 's coming from ? stefano : well , of course , there 's gon na be an understanding between you and me . chad : and what if that 's not how i want to run my business ? stefano : why do you always think that there is something negative about everything i suggest ? chad : because i 'm not stupid , all right ? i know you do n't care about some coffeehouse . so why do n't you just tell me what it is you really want ? [ scene_break ] stefano : you know the answer to that , chad . i just saw an opportunity for us to do something together that was , uh , positive . chad : funny how a silent partner with connections does n't sound all that positive to me . stefano : yeah , well , see , i mean , i figured if you 'd let me come in and help you like that , you would see that my motive is really ... [ sighs ] well , very sincere . chad : and then what ? stefano : and then ... and then we get together , and we work out a real relationship between a father and son . chad : all because you bought some beans , huh ? stefano : oh , come on , now , you know better than that . there 's more to it than that . chad : right , right , right -- muffins and scones too . but i 'd stay away from those . bad for you diabetes , huh ? stefano : see ? see , you really do care . hey . chad : barely . you 've got more money than god . i mean , this gesture 's meaningless . stefano : do you know why i 'm so wealthy , chad , hmm ? because i never -- not once -- not once did i ever invest in something i did not believe in . and i believe in you . chad : why ? because i have your genes ? oh , man . god help me . stefano : no , because you earned it , all right ? look , you are never gon na be able to cut me out of your life . so do n't even try it . just take it as if it 's inevitable , all right ? i want this rift between us to heal . chad : all i have to do is just sit back and let you do all the work ? oh , wow , wow , wow . i mean , you really got it all figured out , do n't you ? stefano : why do you make everything sound so bad , huh ? you 're my son . and i miss you , huh ? i do n't apologize for that . chad : no kidding . stefano : no , wait . do you have any idea how many nights i stay awake trying to think of a way so that you could be back in my life , hmm ? so , yes , i came up with this plan , yes so that you could have a future ... so that we could have a future together as a father and a son . [ scene_break ] gabi : okay , so wait . you do n't know where your dad 's going ? melanie : no . i do n't think he knows either . gabi : oh , that 's crazy . melanie : yeah . it 's not as crazy as what he 's been going through here . i think he just needs some time to get his head on straight . gabi : that makes sense . i felt like that a couple times myself . melanie : me too -- more than a couple times . i picture him off somewhere vacationing , smiling , laughing , surfing in the sun . and i realize i do n't know when the last time i really saw him laughing was . gabi : well , then this is probably gon na be really good for him . look , think about it . he 'll go surfing , hiking . he 'll get a tan . he 'll get tanner . and then he 'll come back , and he 'll pick up exactly where he left off . oh , you do n't believe me , do you ? melanie : i do . i do believe you . he said he 'd be back . gabi : then what 's the problem ? it 's what he did n't say . he did n't say when he 'd be back . i just do n't know when the next time i 'm gon na see my dad will be . [ scene_break ] kate : okay . let 's move on it . sami : kate , how soon are you thinking ? kate : well , we have to sign them . that 's the first priority . then book the studio , hire a photographer -- and `` a `` list only talent , sami . sami : yes , i will make all those calls first thing in the morning . kate : no , i need you to do it today . i want to get them in front of the camera . i want them up on the billboard . i want people looking up at them and saying , `` i want to be just like that , `` and then using our products to do it . sami : well , i think you 're the best person to approach chad . kate : yeah , that 's probably true . he 's always a little cautious when it comes to anything involving stefano . sami : can you blame him ? habit -- sorry . kate : that 's fine . it 's all right . i can pull strings ... [ chuckles ] with chad when i need to . gabi -- you 're her sister - in - law . why do n't you talk to her ? sami : yeah , i will . keep in mind , though , that she is very loyal to her brother . kate : what does rafe have to do with any of this ? sami : you remember what stefano and ej did to rafe -- you know , the whole impostor thing ? kate : okay , what allegedly he did ? come on . really ? stefano has nothing to do with this , and i expect that signed contract with gabi this afternoon . sami : i will do the best i can . kate : no , you 'll do better than that . this campaign is perfect . and if it works ... [ sighs ] sami : what ? kate : well , if it works , i hope to start a reconciliation between chad and stefano . and regarding gabi , i mean , i 'm worried about will , are n't you ? sami : i am on top of what is happening with my family . kate : i 'm just suggesting if you get to know gabi a little better , maybe you 'll find out what happened between her and will -- why they broke up . sami : find out why he 's been so angry lately . kate : it 's win - win , sami , for both of us -- personally and professionally . [ scene_break ] hope : you want me to what ? madison : to model for mad world . hope : you 're kidding , right ? bo : no , looks to me like she 's serious . madison : i am serious . i 'm 100 % serious . when i look at you , hope , i just think , `` wow . `` bo : i - i tend to agree with you ... on a different kind of level . madison : [ laughing ] i hope you do n't think i 'm being too forward . hope : i just -- the whole thing is just -- i 'm -- it 's just so out of the blue , i do n't know what to think . madison : well , you have a great look , and there 's an essence about you that is exactly what i want my company to represent to the public . hope : i 'm truly just -- i 'm just speechless . i 'm blown away . i , um , i do n't -- i do n't know what to say about this offer . but i 'm a cop , and i love being a cop . it 's who i am -- it 's my whole identity outside of being a wife and a mother . madison : what if you could do it all ? what if you could be a cop , be a wife , be a mother , and be a model ? i would be more than happy to work around any schedule you have . hope : schedules -- plural . madison : okay , it 's doable . you 've done it before , right ? hope : wow . you 've done your research . madison : look , you know the ropes . you know what 's required . you 'd be a natural . bo : she makes a good point . madison : my products are developed for real women -- for relatable women -- and i ca n't think of anyone who fits that mold better than you . hope : it 's not that i 'm not completely intrigued by your offer , 'cause i am . it would n't be -- it 's just i -- it 's just not for me ... right now . madison : okay . okay , um , thank you for listening to me , hearing me out . and this is my card , so please call me if you change your mind . and you should know my instincts are never wrong . hope : thank you . madison : all right , thank you . see you . bo : bye . madison : bye . hope : bye . can you believe this ? bo : well , the only thing i do n't believe is you do n't get that kind of offer every day . [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] stefano : well , you know , chad , i certainly can be more than a father for you . i can be -- i can be your friend . i can -- i can be your mentor . you know , i mean , something that you 've always wanted . chad : you , a mentor ? [ scoffs ] wow . stefano : uh - huh . yes . i know . i know that you do n't want to have anything to do with anything that i do . i can accept that . but to reject a family -- this family , your family -- that i can not take . you have to realize that maybe because you 're so young , you think you 'll never have regrets . but the day will come when you will have regrets . you know , i will never give up on you , my son . and i pray that the day comes that you will not hate me for it . [ scene_break ] melanie : oh ! what are these ? gabi : oh , sami sent those over . they are photos from the photo shoot we had . melanie : yes , i see that . gabi : chad looks good , does n't he ? melanie : you do n't look so bad yourself , girl ! gabi : oh , stop . melanie : um , did you have fun ? gabi : yeah , it was amazing ! seriously , i felt like a real model . melanie : yeah , i 'll bet . gabi : i actually felt sexy , like i did n't have to fake feeling like i was desirable . and i knew at that moment that i was . is that weird ? melanie : no ! no . gabi : i had to force myself to take the makeup off . even chad had a good time . melanie : really ? gabi : at first , he did n't want to -- i mean , like , at all . but -- melanie : yes , knowing chad ... gabi : i mean , it was good for him . it was a good distraction since , you know , the breakup with abigail . melanie : yeah , sure . gabi : what do you think ? melanie : about ? gabi : chad . melanie : why would i -- what would i think about chad ? gabi : i mean , you guys are close . so , i mean , he has n't mentioned anything about how he 's feeling ? melanie : um , we do n't really talk about that kind of stuff . gabi : oh , okay . can i ask you something ? i mean , this is totally random , but , um ... would you ever consider hooking up with chad ? [ scene_break ] chad : boy , you are not shy about putting someone on the spot , are you ? stefano : [ chuckles ] well , i was just happy that , uh , you waited to hear me out . look , uh , would it be out of place for me to invite you to stay for dinner ? chad : get that you 're being sincere . i mean , you would n't be offering to help out with the coffeehouse or saying these things if you did n't mean them . but i meant what i said too . i really want to do this on my own . stefano : i understand . and i admire you for it . but ... chad : but as far as dinner goes , i ca n't . you know ... instead of buying coffee for me , maybe you can buy a cup from me one of these days . stefano : i would like that very much . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] [ door closes ] hope : i still ca n't get over this offer from madison . bo : fancy face , why are you surprised ? everything she said about you is true . you 're the most beautiful woman i have ever met , inside and out . hope : all right , all right . i 'll pay you later . but seriously , a model ? bo : yeah . hope : she 's asking me to be someone i 'm just not anymore . bo : whoa , stop . say that again . hope : hmm ? what ? bo : humor me . say that last part again . hope : she 's asking me to be someone i 'm just not anymore . bo : that 's it . hope : what 's it ? bo : i just figured out how we get to stefano . ha ! [ scene_break ] madison : kate dimera and countess wilhelmina are more than just our competitors . they 're in our way . the more they push , the harder we push back . we got to stay ahead of them and ahead of the curve always . you know ? what else can we do ? sami : well , i think we 've already done the most important thing . putting someone on the inside at countess w was genius -- to borrow one of kate 's favorite words . and i think it 's already paying off , big - time . madison : you just took the words right out of my mouth , sami . sami : we are hitting kate where it 's gon na hurt the most -- right in her over- inflated ego . madison : you 're sure she does n't suspect you ? sami : oh , no way . she 's too busy patting herself on the back to see what 's right in front of her face . madison : good . okay , that 's great . let 's keep it that way . sami : oh , absolutely . you know what worked the best ? was staging those fights and timing them so she would walk right in and see everything . it 's a perfect setup . madison : she sure took the bait , though , right ? faster than we thought she would . sami : i did n't have to play surprised when she actually offered me the job . i was shocked . madison : she was betting she was gon na turn you against me , sami . she thought she could prop you up and get you to spill all of mad world 's secrets , and then she was gon na use those against me . sami : oh , she 's running with it . i mean , no doubt . she has definitely made the most of that information . she has revised her entire line 'cause she wants to beat you to the shelves , and all of it 's based on the false dates that i have fed her . madison : but she still -- her strategy is still to market toward the youth . sami : oh , yeah , she 's completely forgotten about any other demographic . madison : good , because that way , when we launch our youth campaign while still marketing to the over-30 crowd , we will attract all the clientele that she has completely ignored . sami : it 's a brilliant plan . madison : i 've already started working on the marketing for it . i 'm gon na go with real women -- you know , real women , none of this glossy , wannabe , teen- angst crap . sami : so , one thing -- i just want to make sure that we 're still focused on everything at titan and making sure we cover our tracks , because i do n't know . kate 's probably got spies and bugs and stuff there . madison : i 'm sure she does . but at this point , she 's so sure she 's ahead of the game , she 's gon na let her guard down . she 's gon na relax , and she 's gon na be the one left twisting in the wind . [ scene_break ] melanie : gabi , why would i want to hook up with chad ? gabi : it 's just i -- i do n't know , i 've seen the way you look at him sometimes . melanie : no , we are friends . that 's all . gabi : that 's all ? melanie : yes . gabi : i mean , i just had to ask . melanie : yeah . i 'm gon na -- [ scene_break ] kate : [ gasps ] there she is -- my newest star . gabi : me ? kate : yes . who else ? did you see these photos ? the two of you together ... are simply stunning . gabi : thank you . kate : so did you speak to sami ? gabi : about what ? kate : obviously you did n't , or you would n't be asking me that question . is chad here ? he usually works out this time of the day . i want to talk to the two of you ... together . gabi : what 's going on ? kate : i 'd really rather discuss it with the two of you in front of me . gabi : i can text him if you want . kate : okay , why do n't you do that ? tell him to meet us here . melanie : uh , gabi , i think i 'm gon na just take a little break . i 'll be back . gabi : yeah , that 's all right . melanie : okay . kate : oh . love this one . [ scene_break ] sami : i have to admit to you , i had real reservations about this plan . i did not think it was a good idea for me to be behind the scenes at countess w . madison : uh , `` dumbest idea ever '' -- i think you said that . sami : well , i never thought in a million years kate would actually want to hire me . madison : hey , there you go . that 's what desperation will do . sami ... i really need to thank you for everything that you 've done for me and for my company . you have done an incredible job for me . sami : thank you . you know , when it gets tough , i just remind myself there is an exit strategy in mind . madison : i will take care of you . sami : i know you will , thank you . madison : of course . sami : kate is all gung ho about her new plan . she 's even planning to sign some new inexperienced models . madison : love it . sami : one of the models actually is , um , my sister - in - law . madison : really ? sami : yeah , so i do feel sort of bad that the plan is doomed to failure , because of gabi . you know , she 's cute , and she 's good . i mean , i 'm not regretting it , because of kate , obviously . madison : listen , your sister - in - law -- she 'll be okay . but kate ... it wo n't be pretty . sami : madison , remind me of something . madison : what 's that ? sami : to never get on your bad side . madison : or yours . sami : to us . madison : to us . sami : i still ca n't believe that i convinced kate to plan a whole campaign based on the idea of fresh , new faces . madison : she really , really thought that was an original idea ? oh , god ! and she still plans to release a press release about it , right ? sami : right at the time that we are going to unroll our campaign featuring fresh , new faces of all ages . madison : this is perfect . you know what kate 's going to look like ? she 's going to look like she 's playing a really bad game of catch - up . and you are a genius . sami : and you are ruthless , my friend . madison : i know . i am . sami : i love that side of your personality -- have i mentioned ? madison : you 're one of the few . you are -- really . sami : so the next issue becomes , what do i do at countess w now ? how can i mess things up more ? madison : i just -- i do n't know , sami . i think i 'm going to let you run with it . you 've done such a great job for me so far . i think i 'll let you do whatever you think is best to do next . sami : well , i love my job . and i was thinking that i could work on being really creative in coming up with new ways to torment kate . however , i believe that would require a renegotiation of my contract . madison : [ laughing ] i do n't think so . you 're already pulling down two paychecks -- one for countess w and one for mad world . sami : it was worth a shot . i was sort of kidding , 'cause the truth is , madison ... [ clears throat ] i would do it for free . madison : mm . [ scene_break ] chad : are you okay ? you want to talk about it ? [ both chuckle ] chad : okay . um ... i just got a text from gabi saying that kate was at the spa . she 's waiting for us . she wanted to talk to us . melanie : yeah , yeah , i know . i just came from there . chad : ah ... any idea what it 's about ? melanie : probably those super - hot pictures you guys took . chad : oh . melanie : you do n't want to keep them waiting . chad : yeah , sure . um , because i would much rather stay here with you . melanie : i do n't think that 's a good idea . chad : i mean , all those pictures that were taken , i -- you know , i was imagining it was you i was holding in my arms the whole time . melanie : [ chuckles awkwardly ] you ca n't say things like that . chad : look , i know how upset you are about abigail not wanting to be friends anymore . but ca n't we even be friends ? melanie : chad . [ giggles ] chad : because i could really use a friend right now . and i just -- i just saw my dad , and he 's so relentless . you know , he 's so determined to be part of my life , and ... i do n't really know what to do right now . hey . melanie : you 're so lucky . you 're not the only one having dad problems . [ scene_break ] carol : so how was that ? hope : perfection . bo : yeah , we appreciate you doing this for us . carol : pleasure was all mine . hope : pay her . bo : oh , sorry . uh , there you go . thanks . hope : thank you , carol . bo : we said the hardest part was getting stefano to talk to us . hope : yep . but not anymore , huh ? [ scene_break ] chad : your dad 's leaving ? when ? melanie : [ crying ] i do n't know . he just said as soon as possible ... which is more than he said about when he 's coming back . chad : oh , my god . i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . i had no idea . melanie : yeah , me neither . i did n't even see it coming . chad : you know it 's not forever , right ? melanie : max left me . my mom left me . dario left me . i just feel like i always get left behind . chad : come here , come here . come here . hey , i 'm still here . melanie : yeah . chad : and your dad 's crazy about you . you know he ca n't stay away from you for long . melanie : [ sobbing ] i know , but why does he have to leave at all ? chad : melanie , come on . melanie : [ sighs ] chad : come on , it 's okay . melanie : actually , i ca n't be doing this . i should n't be doing this . i do n't know what i 'm doing . i 'm sorry . chad : no , it 's -- [ scene_break ] kate : did chad respond yet ? gabi : yeah , he said he 's on his way . kate : when ? gabi : i do n't know . maybe he 's stuck in traffic . kate : well , i certainly hope he gets here soon . gabi : could you give me a hint about what you want to talk to us about ? kate : it 's about your future , that 's all . [ scene_break ] hope : hey , brady . bo : hey . any sign of simpson in the bank ? hope : no . the teller said he has the day off . bo : oh , good . we do n't want him to tip off stefano . hope : how long are we going to give him , huh ? bo : as long as it takes . hope : i just hope he has n't figured out what we 're doing . bo : oh , come on . we played this just right . hope : yeah , well , you never know with him . i mean , for all we know , he could have been waiting for us to try something like this all along . bo : you 're forgetting one thing -- actually , two things . hope : what 's that ? bo : he does n't know that we know about the safe deposit box . he also does n't know that we found the key . hope : unless simpson told him about out visit last week . bo : will you have a little faith ? hope : i 'll have faith , brady , when i see him walk through that arch .

[ phone beeps ] eduardo : it was a ... it was a terrible mistake . i should have taken you at your word when you told me you did n't steal that drive . i - i - i should never have accused you of lying . it was incredibly stupid . you were clearly telling the truth , and i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm -- [ sighs ] i 'm so beyond sorry . kate : `` sorry `` does n't cut it any more than `` please , `` so if you do n't mind -- eduardo : no , come on , please . listen , you know , i 'm -- i 'm begging you , kate . forgive me . sonny : dario , chad and i are friends , sure , but my family is in competition with him , just like yours . chad : if sonny and i wanted to partner up , you would n't even be here , dario . sonny : remember , my company is hooked in with yours when it comes to shipping and using the docks . chad : we 're all equal here . dario : no , no , no . that 's where you 're wrong . he answers to his uncle . i work for my old man . you are the head of your company . chad : andré does n't honor my leadership . he 's rogue and he 's dangerous , and both of you know that . dario : that 's exactly my point . we could put something on paper here today that might not even stick . chad : which is why the three of us need to put a leash on everyone . dario : why do you even think that 's possible ? sonny : 'cause the future of titan industries is me . the future of gdr is you . chad : so we need to take charge . avoid a war . abigail : sounds like they may wind up working together . gabi : oh , god , i hope so . chad : now , gentlemen , it is in our power to broker peace . but in order to do that , we got ta start being honest with each other . dario : fine , fine . my father wanted the product . i do n't know how he pulled it off , but he got hold of it in china . chad : he stole it from andré . dario : and i brought it into the country . what i do n't get is ... how deimos found out . sonny : i sensed that something was going on . so i sent paul and steve to investigate . then i went to deimos with the intel that was provided . you were smuggling microchips of some importance into this country using our ships , and they were hidden in those counterfeit handbags . deimos knew it could be important . he knew it could be huge . he picked up the scent from there . gabi : that 's why . that 's why dario was being so weird about that purse . abigail : [ shushing ] dario : and the minute deimos found out that there were piles of money to be made , he stole the damn microchips . he co - opted the whole damn technology . sonny : like your old man stole it from andré . dario : oh , like you care about andré ? sonny : i do n't care about andré , but you ca n't have it both ways , dario ! dario : you know what happens to thieves when they return -- chad : enough ! we 're here to end a war , not escalate it . gentlemen , we have a product that could be worth hundreds of billions of dollars , assuming we can get the damn thing to work . and the only real question should be , what are we gon na do with the profits ? deimos : i just want to be sure . this `` key `` that you 're offering , are you absolutely certain it will enable the technology to work ? excellent . then we have ourselves a deal , at your price . why do n't we meet later , all right ? discuss the details ? great . [ phone beeps ] deimos : [ sighs ] chloe : yes , you are so precious . so beautiful . i know that nicole is your mommy , but i feel like you 're mine . which is why i will do whatever it takes to protect you , no matter what . that 's right -- nicole : protect her from what ? ah , sorry . i did n't -- i did n't mean to scare you . chloe : no , it 's -- it 's okay . i was just talking like any other mom . just wan na protect my baby . nicole : you know , i spoke to the nurse , and she said she 's prepping you for your release . so you 'll be out of here pretty soon , yeah ? chloe : ah , yup . that 's the plan . nicole : ooh . well , guess what . i 'm here to drive you wherever you need to go . i bought a car seat and it 's all set up . chloe : oh , you did n't have to do that . nicole : um , you mind if i ? chloe : yeah , sure . nicole : hi , scrumptious munchkin . hi . you 're the sweetest little baby in the whole wide world . yes , you are . yes , you are . and who would n't want to protect you , huh ? i know i would . [ gasps ] when you get out of here , let 's go eat -- let 's go to the drive - in movies . what do you think ? want to know why ? 'cause i 've always wanted to have to go to the drive - in movies with a little , teeny , tiny baby in my car . [ laughter ] chloe : pretty sure drive - in movies do n't exist anymore , but , you know , if we can find one , sure . [ holly crying ] nicole : uh - oh . whoa , whoa , whoa . all right , that 's my cue . wrong scent . wrong voice . wrong scent , wrong voice . chloe : it 's okay . nicole : ahh , here you go . chloe : hi , we 'll sit here . we 'll sit here . nicole : you know , i , uh , i really hope that you and parker and holly will make it back for my wedding . wo n't be long now . chloe : [ sighs ] nicole , you 're marrying deimos . nicole : okay , i know you hate him . chloe : hate him ? he 's vicious . he has no soul . my god , we were standing right there when he threatened to kill andré . nicole : well , he was upset . chloe : [ scoffs ] upset is an excuse for murder ? he 's evil . come on , nicole . you have to call this off or you 're gon na regret it for the rest of your life . nicole : chloe , look . i understand where you 're coming from . i do , but ... when i lost daniel , i thought that i would never love again . and my world was ... was empty . and then deimos kept after me , and , you know , always patient and always kind and comforting . i know , no , he is -- he is not daniel . but i love him . i do . chloe : well , what if i told you that a part of daniel can still be with you ? nicole : what do you mean , a part of daniel ? [ holly cooing ] nicole : yeah , well , you mean -- you mean parker and brady 's heart and all the memories , right ? yes , i totally understand that . and i will never , ever stop loving daniel , but he would n't want me to keep living in the past . chloe : would he want you to marry a killer ? nicole : okay , all right . deimos is just angry , okay ? we 've all said things that we did n't mean , right ? and please . andré is no saint . he 'd drive anyone nuts , you and i included . chloe : oh , my god . i ca n't believe you 're making excuses for him like this . if you marry him , you 'll be doing that for the rest of your life . nicole : chloe ... chloe : i am sorry . i just do n't know how you could go from daniel ... to a man like deimos . nicole : i 've tried to explain . chloe : yeah , i know . that he brought you back , showed you how to love again , blah , blah , blah . nicole , honest to god , if you would just think for a second , it would just make everything so much easier . nicole : what do you mean , so much easier ? i do n't understand . what are you talking about ? chloe : i just think that you would be happier if he was n't in your life . nicole : so i would be happier if i push away someone i love ? chloe : yes , because ... i think there 's other people that you would love more . you just do n't know it yet . nicole : chloe , i do n't know what is going on with you today . you are speaking in riddles . but i am not changing my mind . i am going to marry deimos . [ holly cooing ] chloe : okay , then . then that 's that . i 'm sorry , but we ca n't be friends anymore . [ holly babbling ] brady : told you i 'd share with you the financial situation , and we are falling off badly . deimos : all right , all right . brady , brady , enough with the doom and gloom for one day . all right ? trust me . titan 's future is very bright . brady : okay , but not according to these papers . if you take a look at some of -- deimos : relax , okay ? i 'm working on something , and it 's gon na put titan on top for decades . kate : the thing is , though ... you ca n't undo what you did . you know , we both had choices . we ... i was instructed to steal back what you stole from andré . you know , and i - i - i s -- i seriously considered it . and then i chose not to do it because i felt that we had something . we had something here . we had something special . something real . eduardo : i am such a fool . kate : well , there 's no point in dwelling on it now really . you know , you made a choice . you threw it away and you took the money , so ... eduardo : it was n't about the money . it was about me thinking that somehow i 'm always gon na be betrayed . even though it was n't -- was n't gon na happen here , this -- this is different . kate : i thought we were pretty good together . eduardo : i swear to god , kate . we could get past this . kate : no . we 're done . sonny : you know what 's gon na happen ? we 're gon na agree , we 're gon na shake hands , and when the profits come in , that 's when the knives come out . dario : you know , i love how you two are talking about this like the hernandez family is n't even part of the picture . chad : dario , that 's not how -- dario : let me tell you something . we may be the new kid on the block , but we are developing the system . your brother andré 's version was junk . sonny : dario , the thing does n't work for any of us . dario : we do n't need your resources . it will work . we are more hungry , more motivated . this thing is gon na put us on the map , so you know what ? we 're not gon na share the damn thing . chad : well , then we have a serious problem . eduardo : just try to ... just think about this . we had something great going on here . gave each other a chance for something we 'd been doing without for a long time . you felt it . i felt it . kate : until you made a choice . eduardo : i made a mistake . kate : no . look . it 's not like we both should n't have seen it coming , all right ? we knew that we were competitors right from the start . and i think that this war over new technology just clarified it for us really . does n't matter who 's at fault . the point is the trust is gone . without trust , we do n't stand a chance . not a chance . dario : what happens to the profits of this device ? sonny : it 's called the orwell . and if we 're not gon na split the profits , then it all goes to whoever owns the rights . chad : dimera enterprises . we had it first . my brother -- sonny : there 's no proof of that . for all we know , andré stole it . dario : does n't matter if he stole it . he lost it . chad : so did you . i do n't care how hungry you are . your family does n't have what it takes to develop it in the first place . dario : that 's where you 're wrong . we got a guy -- myron raditz . he 's a genius . he 's all we need . he 's gon na get the bugs out of the system and he 'll have it up and running -- a month tops . sonny : unless someone comes along and offers him a better price , like us . if your guy does n't want to cooperate , we 'll find someone else . titan has a great r & d team . and remember , we have the program . dario : yeah , when you steal something , does n't make it yours . sonny : possession is 9/10 of the law . dario : yeah , but this is n't about the law . you better keep an eye on what 's coming out of the shadows , sonny . because my father and i are gon na do whatever it takes to get back that program . brady : deimos , you wan na give me a break ? seriously ? you have some oh - so- secret project that you do n't want to tell me about right now ? deimos : it 's high - tech . all right ? i promise i will explain everything when the time is right . just give me a few more days . in the meantime , why do n't you concentrate on chloe ? brady : [ scoffs ] what do you want me to do ? deimos : get her to admit that holly is daniel and nicole 's baby . brady : there are only so many ways i can do that , okay ? it 's not working . deimos : then try again , brady . use your past relationship with her . use whatever you can . just get her to open up . we need to get to the facts before she gets released . brady : i understand that , but the problem -- deimos : do this for nicole . brady : all right . she deserves to know the truth . you 're right about that . i 'll see what i can do . deimos : what , brady ? nicole : do n't be silly , chloe . of course we 're friends . chloe : i know we are , but i am sorry . it has to be this way . nicole : okay , um ... remind me again why deimos is such a huge deal . i mean , we were at the motel , and i was delivering holly , and we agreed to disagree . chloe : i wish that we could be that close , but i 'm sorry . there 's no way i will let deimos near holly . never , no matter what . nicole : okay , okay . [ holly cooing ] nicole : well , how about this ? how about , when i come to visit , i will come alone ? chloe : come on , we both know that that 'll never happen . you 're too weak , and he will control everything . so there 's no visits . [ holly babbles ] nicole : chloe , i , um ... i know you are holly 's mother , but i guess i ... i have to accept whatever you decide , but ... [ holly cooing ] chloe : thank you . you know what , i do n't need you to drive me anywhere . i 'm just gon na rent a car , and as soon as they release me , we 're going back to chicago . nicole : tonight ? [ exhales and sniffles ] so , uh , this is -- this is good - bye ? chloe : i 'm sorry that it has to be this way , but ... there can be no middle ground here . nicole : oh , my god . i ... [ stammers ] well , can i -- can i just , um -- one more time ? [ holly babbles ] chloe : sure . nicole : oh , yay . hey , my little angel . huh ? aha . [ sniffles ] hey . [ sobbing ] deimos : what is it , brady ? brady : let 's say chloe tells me the truth , right ? she tells me that holly is actually nicole and daniel 's baby . have you thought about what -- what 's gon na happen next ? deimos : other than nicole being happier than she ever has been in her entire life ? brady : no , you having to raise another man 's baby . a baby that will actually be a constant reminder of the man that she loved more than anything in the world , and his name was not deimos . deimos : daniel is gone . he 's dead . he 's not coming back . there 's no reason for me at all to be threatened . brady : well , um , i 'll see what i can do . nicole : oh ... i will remember you always , little one . yeah . from the time you took your first breath to seeing you open those big beautiful eyes . oh , yeah , and even then , i knew then that you were gon na be really , really special . [ sobbing ] and i wish i could be a part of your life , but ... your mommy loves you and she wants to protect you . but if you need something , anything at all , auntie nicole will be here for you , okay ? and that ? that is a promise . yeah . i will always , always be your friend , chloe . no matter what . [ sobbing ] chloe : oh ... [ sobbing softly ] sonny : dario , threats do n't help . so why do n't you chill out ? dario : do n't you tell me what to do . chad : look , gentlemen , we came here to work things out , so let 's try to be reasonable . sonny : like it was reasonable for andré to destroy one of our ships ? chad : nobody got hurt . sonny : a $ 100-million ship does n't hurt our bottom line ? chad : sonny , that was n't me . sonny : no , no , no , no . no , no , no . you ca n't claim to be a head of your company and not take full responsibility for that . chad : andré asked for his property back , nicely , from what i understand . he even warned deimos that there would be consequences . dario : yeah , you know what ? sonny , you -- you 're not the martyr here . we went into business with titan because we trusted you , and you pay us back by stealing from us ? sonny : your father 's an assassin . we did n't know what he was gon na do with the device . dario : you watch your mouth when you talk about my father . chad : sonny , take a breath . sonny : no , chad . there you go again giving me orders . this is all on you . you know that ? we had trouble at the docks , you move in and take half of our business ! chad : and that does n't excuse deimos for what -- sonny : deimos is keeping titan afloat ! chad : you know what ? sonny : that is business , not personal ! chad : you two wan na sit around here and play gangsters , go ahead ! i 'm done with both of you . and , sonny , for the record , you just made this personal ! gabi : well , i did n't think things could get any worse . abigail : what are you gon na do ? gabi : first , i 'm gon na get the hell out of here before my brother catches me . ( vo ) if you have type 2 diabetes , dario : you were close to finishing that program , right ? myron : yeah , till it got stolen . i 'd have said give me a week , two maybe . dario : can you remake the hardware ? build off what you 've still got ? myron : dario , in a world of ones and zeros , anything is possible , assuming i have the right resources . dario : i 'll give you whatever you need . i 'll even pay you double what i was giving you before . myron : triple . dario : whatever . myron : i 'll try . dario : good . in the meantime , i 'm gon na take care of that son of a bitch who stole it from us . sonny : we need to talk . deimos : can it wait ? sonny : i just had a meeting with chad and dario . deimos : wait a minute . what ? who said it was all right for you to have a meeting like that ? sonny : our ship was sabotaged . what do you want me to do ? take a nap ? deimos : well , if you three boys came up with any type of agreement , anyone at all , it 's done ! sonny : yeah , well , there 's no agreement . in fact , things got worse . we wound up at each other 's throats . everyone wants `` their device . `` dario 's out for blood , and chad says now it 's personal . deimos : well , then this is your first lesson , sonny . losers threaten and whine all the time , all right ? but in the end , we have the orwell . sonny : fine . but we need the tech guy that dario hired . his name is myron raditz . he 's a genius . i checked him out . deimos : forget it ! we do n't need him . we have the key . it 's on its way . sonny : the key ? deimos : yeah . sonny : what -- what is that ?

[ phone beeps ] dario : stay away from deimos . nicole : okay , what is going on ? dario : make other plans tonight . stay away from deimos . nicole : he was n't ... he was n't joking . god , i 've got to warn deimos . abigail : it was so hard to hear chad and sonny fighting like that . they 've just been friends forever . gabi : yeah , well , at least , uh , we 're still friends , right ? abigail : yeah . it 's pretty amazing , huh ? after everything that 's happened ? you know , maybe -- well , maybe you and i could work together to figure out a way to solve this thing . gabi : how could we do that ? abigail : i do n't know , but if things continue the way they are , they 're gon na destroy each other over that stupid device . gabi : wait a minute . what if -- what if we destroy the device , or whatever that thing is , and then no one would have it ? abigail : i mean , they would have nothing to fight over . gabi : yeah , i mean , it would give us some time to stall . everybody could chill out for a little bit . abigail : yeah . i 'm in if you are . gabi : yeah , let 's -- let 's do it . abigail : okay . [ both laugh ] kate : unfortunately , business and pleasure do n't always mix , which , of course , i already know . but unfortunately , my feelings for eduardo clouded my judgment . chad : okay , yeah , but still , if he knows that it was n't you that took the program but it was deimos , then at least the two -- kate : it 's -- it 's too late . he did n't trust me , chad . i mean , how the hell do you get past that in a relationship ? anyway , it 's probably for the best . we need to refocus and decide exactly what we 're going to do to get our technology back . and it is ours . anyone who thinks otherwise is in for a very unpleasant surprise . [ phone beeps ] nicole : hey , um , i 'm getting some takeout , and then i thought i could show you where maybe we could have our reception , and then hang out by the fire for the rest of the night . sound good ? um , call me . okay , love you .

i 'll be right back . marlena : you did what you had to do . jennifer : right , but that 's what 's most difficult to me , because i think -- i know that i made the choice . he did n't force me . marlena : it sounded like he coerced you . jennifer : yeah , but i still made the decision . and i did n't have time to think whether it was the right one , and -- marlena : yeah , you know what ? yes , you made a decision . yes , you made a choice . no , it 's not your fault . do you understand ? you were trying to save someone 's life . it was jack . it was someone that you love . jennifer : yeah . marlena : i want to hear you say it . jennifer : what ? say what ? marlena : say that it was not your fault , not what you wanted . jennifer : um ... it , uh , it was n't my fault . i -- thank you , marlena . i -- thank you . marlena : yeah . if you want to talk about this again , just call my office . jennifer : i will , because i think that it will help . i think . marlena : okay . hope ? hope : yeah . oh , the tea will be ready in just a minute , okay ? bo : are there any decorations left in the store ? oh , marlena , hi . marlena : hey , bo . bo : is everything okay ? jack : what -- jennifer , what 's wrong ? what ? jennifer : nothing . nothing . i was just talking to , uh , marlena about what happened . jack : right . bo : hey , hey , did you see him again ? hope : he was outside . bo : okay , we 'll talk about it later . hope : bo , actually , i want to -- i want to talk about it now . jen opened up to her friends , and it really seems to be helping her , and i think maybe it would really help me . bo : yeah ? hope : uh , jen , jack , marlena ... uh , for a while now , you 've all been asking me if i 'm okay . i 'm not . i 've just been pretending to be . it 's larry welch . i have been imagining that i am seeing him . now , i know it 's not real and that he 's gone , he 's dead , that he ca n't hurt me anymore , but when it 's happening , it just really -- it feels so real . larry : hope looked like she 'd just seen a ghost . if she only knew . kate : you 're disgusting . tony : relax , kate . kate : oh , you have some nerve coming over here , making lewd remarks . tony : i was n't being lewd . kate : oh , no ? tony : no , you misunderstood me . kate : oh , i see . you said you wanted the same thing from me that captain brady wants . there 's not much there to be misunderstood . tony : obviously there is . my interest lies in your history with my father , the mysterious reason why he paid you off . kate : oh . well , if stefano did pay me off , that 's between him and me . tony : but it 's the same information captain brady wants , hence his lovesick schoolboy act . kate : oh , god , roman 's passion is anything but schoolboy . tony : let me tell you something . the only thing passionate these days that the bradys have is going after dimeras for something , anything . they will do anything to accomplish what they want , including leading on a lonely woman . kate : i am anything but lonely , and roman is not leading me on . tony : the love of his life was marlena evans . you 're hardly his type . roman : excuse me . is this , uh , gentleman giving you trouble ? kate : the only thing in this room that is giving me trouble is you . hope : marlena , i guess the question is , uh , why did n't i tell you before -- the other day when i spoke to you ? i do n't know why i procrastinated . marlena : you were n't ready . hope : but i am now . and i want to start having regular sessions . marlena : there 's no time like the present . hope : tonight ? but we were just getting everything ready for gran 's party . jennifer : oh , no . no , we can do that tomorrow . hope : are you sure ? jninifer : i 'm positive . jack : well , i 'll just go get our coats then . jennifer : okay . marlena : i 'm so glad that we talked . jennifer : you know , i am , too . i need to call you , and i will . marlena : okay . jack : all right , we ready to blow the pop stand here ?

andré : oh , come on . you 're a decent fellow . a good egg , as they say . do you really want to throw your career away because of hope brady ? rafe : like i said , i 've got real work to do . so if you 'd like to file a complaint , you can do it with the desk sergeant . andré : what , you do n't want to see the evidence of foul play ? rafe : what are you talking about ? andré : what , do you think i came to your house of detention with empty hands ? that would be rather rude of me , do n't you think ? no , no , no . i have it here . right here . shall we look at it ?

[ crying ] even with nicole and all the ways and all the times that i ever hurt her ... this was the worst . i do n't know who it was that got behind the wheel that night or how i became that man ... but i will pay the price . i 'm gon na find a way to make this -- make this right . i promise you . shawn : you said that your mom went out of town on -- on a business trip ? claire : yeah , that 's what she said , but ... shawn : well , maybe it 's true . she starting her law practice . maybe -- maybe philip is trying to help her out . claire : see ? you do n't want it to be true , because you do n't want mom with him either . shawn : it does n't matter what i think , claire . your mom 's gon na do what she wants . claire : but it 's not what she wants . i hear her crying . at night , when she 's alone in her room when she thinks that nobody hears . she really misses you . shawn : you do n't know that . claire : do you wish it were true ? shawn : i do . claire : okay , then just call her , please . what if this is your last chance ? philip : you 're more fun . did you know that ? belle : than a business meeting ? better be . philip : no , than before . i mean , you 're more grown up . you always were . belle : yeah , forever . since birth . philip : no , but now you 're more playful . belle : does n't feel like i 've played ever . philip : we need to change that . belle : i do . philip : are you where you want to be , belle ? belle : what do you mean ? in this bed or in this life ? philip : are you where you thought you 'd be in high school ? belle : no , no . i never used to think about career or divorce . you ? philip : i never though about running titan then . belle : it 's a big job . philip : i 'm ready . i just wish my father were a little more ready to let go . he second - guesses everything . belle : yeah , including me . philip : victor likes you . belle : it did n't seem like he wanted you to bring me along . philip : i want you here . i want you . rafe : what 's this ? andré : blood . rafe : where ? andré : it 's on the bottom . enlarge it . rafe : that 's blood ? you 're sure ? andré : oh , it 's blood , and i 'm having it analyzed . that will find itself in court , and it will prove that it is my father 's blood , and you and your partner know exactly where that came from . we offered women a mystery beauty treatment . john : distinguished cross . purple heart . korean war . maude : yes . your father died three weeks before you were born . john : i 'm sorry . maude : things were very tight with us , but after your father died , well , there were benefits , but i could n't take care of you and work at the same time , so everything went at auction . that must have been the most terrible day , but god sent me a miracle . there was a young couple there . a friend of mine worked for them , and she took one look at you , and she fell in love with you . and they had money , so i knew you would never want for anything , and i would get by . john : how much ? maude : it would seem paltry now , but i 'm sure at the time -- john : it bought you your freedom . maude : no ! i did it for you , so you could survive , so we could -- so we could both . john : i do n't understand . the alamains adopted me out of an orphanage . i was in an orphanage . i have the records . maude : that was much later . the couple that adopted you were killed in an automobile accident , and their other relatives did n't like the idea of you being the sole heir of all that money , so they had the adoption nullified , and they put you in an orphanage . but that 's where the alamains found you . and you grew up there ? john : i was with them . until i died . belle : ugh , meeting ? philip : yeah . belle : good discipline . philip : i 'm not feeling it , but ... belle : oh , you got to go . go . [ cell phone ringing ] belle : hello , shawn . shawn : hi . belle : you called ? shawn : yeah . i 'm -- i 'm in salem , and i need to see you . belle i do n't think there 's anything left to say . you filed divorce papers . i 'm not going to -- shawn : i made a mistake . belle : what ? shawn : i -- i still love you . i do n't care about what happened or what it is that you did , but it was my fault too . i do n't want us to end . belle : i do n't -- shawn : do n't say anything . just get on a plane and come back to salem , and let 's work this out . rafe : maybe it is stefano 's blood . so what ? andré : you ca n't be that sanguine about this . the dna tests will prove -- rafe : it 's stefano 's house . his dna is probably all over the place . is n't he also a diabetic ? so he 's got to prick his finger at least once a day and draw blood , so it would n't be surprising that his blood is around his house . andré : on an art piece ? far away from the bathroom ? the master bathroom ? rafe : it 'd be pretty easy for him to get a tiny bit of blood anywhere . and it certainly does n't prove that hope brady is guilty of anything . andré : she chose well , assuming it 's you . hope 's coconspirator . she 's not worth saving , detective . rafe : like i said , if you want to file a complaint , the desk sergeant will take your statement . roman : talk to me . what is the problem ? hope : i 'm fine . roman : all right . okay . i 'll leave it to it for now , but if there 's anything i can do to help ... hope : i know where you live . roman : we have been through the wars together , have n't we ?

i 'll be about two seconds . chad : okay , so on a scale of one to ten ? abigail : ten being she loves you ? i think we 've definitely -- definitely passed five . chad : it 's not the drugs talking ? abigail : no , she 's not that loopy . i mean , this is -- this is really something . chad : yes ! abigail : yes , i know ! john : thank you . so the story was that i had drowned , but that was a ruse . death was faked , and i was simply sent away . maude : where did you go ? john : well , from what i 'm told , i was placed in a -- in a special school that was run -- it was run by an agency that you 're better off not knowing about . maude : oh , son . i 'm so sorry . i only tried to do right by you . belle : you gave up on us without even so much as a conversation . you want to talk now ? shawn : that 's why i 'm here . belle : well , you wasted a trip . shawn : well , when are you coming back ? belle : tomorrow . shawn : then i 'll wait . belle : you know what ? do whatever you want , shawn . stay , go . it has nothing to do with me . just like , as long as claire is safe , where i am has nothing to do with you . roman : all right . do it . trust me . whatever it is , we 'll figure it out . talk to me . hope -- [ knocking at door ] rafe : hope ? hope ? hey , okay , i just -- hey , roman . roman : hey , rafe . rafe : how are you ? roman : you do know where i live . hope : see you soon . roman : okay . all right , i 'll see you at the station . rafe : yes , sir . hope : what ? rafe : okay . andré came just to the station with his version of `` forensic evidence `` that `` proves `` stefano was harmed . hope : is it real ? rafe : yeah . hope : oh , my god . rafe : yeah . okay , yes , it is real blood , but it can be explained . hope : wait , wait , wait , wait . we left blood at the scene ? rafe : yeah . hope : oh , my god . we 're crazy . we 're out of our minds . we 're never gon na get away with this . there 's just no way . what 's gon na happen when ... rafe : stop it . hope : everything comes crashing down on us , rafe ? rafe : it is not gon na come crashing down on us , unless we panic . chad : this is good . this is -- so um , you know , we found a way to make your mom be okay with it for now , but -- abigail : now we just have to live happily ever after . chad : yes . abigail : three of us . chad : and the baby , of course . abigail : do n't push it . chad : and i just need to find a home for us . i 'll work on that . abigail : but you still have to pick out the napkins and also the invitations . chad : you want me on real estate duty , trust me . abigail : i do trust you . i trust that you are gon na pick the perfect place for us . chad : all right , well i have to go meet the real estate broker , so bye . abigail : bye . we 'll be here . shawn : you 're right . it 's none of my business where you are right now . but i 'll be here in salem when you get back . belle : we 'll talk then . philip : that did not sound fun . belle : nope . philip : maybe you 're not as over your ex as you thought . roman : doctor . can i ask you a few questions about eric 's care ? fynn : of course . roman : how long does he need to be in the hospital ? fynn : that 's entirely up to him . he needs to take his recovery very seriously . roman : is n't he doing that ? fynn : i just went to check on him , and he 's left his room . we 're looking everywhere for him . i 'm sure ... eric : i 'm right here . claire : hey , did you speak to mom ? shawn : i did . and we made a plan to talk tomorrow , all right ? but enough about that . all right , let 's talk about you . let 's talk about you . let 's talk about school . you have n't said anything about it . what have you been doing since you 've been back ? claire : school 's fine . shawn : fine ? that 's all you got for me ? come on . what 's your favorite part ? claire : after school . shawn : that was my favorite subject too . claire : oh , no , i mean , there 's this singing program . i kind of have a vocal coach , and she thinks i 'm good . shawn : wow , we always said that . claire : no , i mean , like , good . she set up this audition for me at juilliard . shawn : are you serious ? what -- wow ! wait , why did n't you tell me about this right away ? are you excited ? claire : well , i do n't know if i should even try out . just not with mom being the way she is . shawn : hey . rule number one : do n't worry about your mom and me . eric : i did n't mean to scare anyone . that 's why i turned off all the alarms . i just needed to stretch my legs . fynn : next time , you buzz a nurse . eric : i will . roman : you went to see daniel , did n't you ? eric : i had to . but how do you apologize to the man you killed with your stupidity ? there 's nothing that can make it right . roman : you ca n't think like that . eric : i have to be honest . i ca n't duck from what i did . roman : no , that would never be you . eric : if that were true , none of this would 've happened . i have to look at it . roman : you just have to get yourself well . that 's first . do n't push it . eric : dad , if it were up to you , you 'd want me to stay here forever , would n't you ?

claire : i do n't know . things can always go wrong . stuff happens . shawn : i know that the stuff has n't been so great lately ... but i 've got a feeling things are gon na turn around . for all of us . belle : i am over it . shawn just surprised me , courtesy of claire . philip : yeah ? a little sabotage ? belle : he said he wants to talk when i get back , but there 's nothing left to say . philip : really ? belle : and you know , i have more important things to focus on . philip : like ? belle : like keeping those socks off . john : it must 've been hard to be a single mother back then . you probably did n't have a lot of options . maude : that did n't matter . i thought i had found the best for you , john . that 's all i cared about . and the couple that adopted you , they loved you . they 'd have given you such a good life if they had lived . and i 'm sure the alamains would have done it too . this is just devastating . john : well , i appreciate your time . maude : of course . john : you know , i 've been searching for these answers for such a long time , and now i finally know . you drugged me . maude : [ screams ] [ crying ] andré : you 'll get your check soon . chad . chad : i 'm busy . andré : no , no , no , just -- chad : i have nothing to say to you . andré : listen for two minutes . our father is dead . chad : i 've heard all this before , and -- andré : no , no , i know . i know it to be true . i have proof . hope brady killed stefano . the question is now , what are we going to do about it ?

and even though you did n't take anything off of him , he still trusts you . daniel : so , what is the problem ? you said he was going through some -- some rough time ? what -- but you do n't think he 's back on drugs , do you ? jennifer : no , i know he 's not doing that . this time it 's a matter of the heart . jj : hey , paige . daphne : hey , player . jj : thought you had class , uh , this morning . paige : it was cancelled . jj : well , lucky you . paige : yeah . i 'm on a real winning streak . jj : right . well , i was just gon na go over , um , go over some notes for my next class . rory : wow , man , you really were n't kidding when you said that you two were over . she like totally hates you now . jj : yeah , she has every right to . kerri : kerri the sparkle ® fairy here . melanie : i 'm so happy that we crossed the rubicon so you could ask me about theresa . brady : [ clears throat ] we have to talk about it . she asked me point blank whether i was dating you or not . and , i did n't -- i skirted the issue -- i did n't give her a definite answer , because i did n't have a definite answer to give her , first of all , but , if she finds out that we are dating -- mel , she 's gon na lash out . melanie : what ? rational , well - tempered theresa lash out at us because she hates us ? brady : i want you to be careful , that 's all . melanie : i can handle whatever theresa throws at me . i am a little worried about what she might say to other people , especially my dad . brady : well , she does n't know anything right now . melanie : but she 's suspicious , right ? so she knows that she can cause a little bit of trouble for us if she tells my dad that we 're dating , and she 's definitely gon na do that , which means we have to tell him ourself . right away . jennifer : jj and paige are just having a lot of problems . i feel like i 'm betraying him by telling you that , i -- daniel : why ? you 're worried about your son and you 'll do anything to help him , and , you know , whatever you tell me goes no further , you know that . jennifer : okay , well , the thing is , i do n't even know what happened . all i know is he does n't want to talk to his mother about it . daniel : want me to talk to him ? jennifer : i just think he needs to talk to a man , and justin 's out of town and he 's not close to lucas , really . daniel : okay , well i 'll talk to him . but you know when i go to him he 's gon na know that you asked me to . jennifer : uh , yeah , but i 'm not trying to fool him . i mean , i do n't even need to know anything that he says to you , i just -- i want him to just talk and be honest and get it out and get it out in the open . daniel : yeah , well i 'll text him . maybe i can catch him in between classes . jennifer : no , do n't change your whole schedule -- daniel : no , no , no , i 'm going there anyway . yeah , i 'm giving a lecture to pre- med students later next week and just got ta set it up . jennifer : okay , that -- that 's great . um , thank you so much . daniel : yeah , yeah . jennifer : here . daniel : hm ? jennifer : um , i -- daniel , just because things did n't work out for us , it is so nice to know i can still count on you . rory : dude , i think we got ta look at this as a positive , man . i mean , we 're in our freshman year of college . there are like thousands of parties , and all of them are going to be way more interesting if we show up stag . being joined at the hip to ms . phi beta cuppa severely limited your possibilities . jj : it 's `` kappa , `` rory . rory : yeah , that 's what i said . jj : it 's k -- kappa . rory : cuppa , yeah . and is n't the essence of university life to be like open to possibilities ? for example , i heard about this girl in alpha phi who 's like really -- jj : you know what ? the fact that you have , uh , have made it into college , makes me rethink the entire education system . rory : wow , okay , nice of you to come down on me when i 'm the one trying to cheer you up . jj : i do n't wan na be cheered up . rory : yeah . you know what , i got that , man . come on , you got ta tell me what you did that turned you into such a drag . jj : i made the worst mistake of my life . i knew it . and then i did it again . daphne : so , uh , do you still think jj hooked up with someone you know ? paige : but if it was n't bev , who was it ? daphne : someone he dated before ? paige : oh , my god , i do n't know why i did n't think of her before . daphne : who ? paige : i 'll tell you when i get back , okay ? daphne : okay . victor : so , i think your mere presence irked young mr. dimera , and the lovely miss ridgeway was quite put off by it . rafe : well , i think she was more put off by the fact that her stepfather showed up . victor : oh , well , clyde does have a way of sucking the air out of a room . you think anybody buys that andy from mayberry act of his ? rafe : i do n't think he gives a damn whether anyone buys it or not . victor : yeah , well , it 's hubris on his part not to care what i think . i 'm not about to let him waltz into my town like he owns it . rafe : your town ? victor : my town . and he 's gon na find out exactly what that means . rafe : do you welcome input from your employees ? victor : i do . rafe : do n't be stupid . victor : i would n't dream of it . getting caught would be stupid . that 's not gon na happen . rafe : i think going after clyde because he has been -- victor : the input part of this meeting is over with . now , i think -- you 're not a cop anymore , rafe . you work for me now . rafe : true . but that does n't mean that i 'm going to do everything that you ask . victor : oh , do n't get your knickers all in a bunch , i 'm not gon na ask you to get your hands dirty . i can take care of clyde myself . rafe : what if you did n't have to ? what if i went after him ? legally . jordan : i do n't wan na talk about clyde . chad : jordan , i saw how upset you were when he was playing good ' ol boy with your brother . you could n't get out of the room fast enough . i mean , if it bothers you that much , then -- maybe you should talk about it . jordan : no . chad : i mean , what about your brother ? being all buddy - buddy with -- with clyde after the way the guy treated him ? and you . jordan : i think it 's important for ben to think that clyde is actually trying to change . chad : you do n't believe that . jordan : yeah -- i should go . chad : jordan -- i did n't mean to ruin this . jordan : no . you did n't ruin anything , okay ? i just -- i 'm running late . clyde : when was this ? jeremiah : last night , late on the docks . it was kiriakis 's men for sure . clyde : now you just walk away , enjoy your fortune 500 life with your lovely horton bride , and leave the rough business to me . i guess i did n't make myself clear enough to mr. kiriakis . now we got ta make sure we really drive home a message . chad : no , sorry lindsay , can you just say that again ? no , i 'm not having the best morning of my life . right . uh , just cancel my meetings this morning . i have something i have to do . rafe : whoa ! jordan : rafe , sorry , um ... rafe : what 's got you so riled up ? oh . i see . jordan : it 's nothing . rafe : no , it 's not nothing . i saw the way you reacted when he came in last night . he 's really getting to you , is n't he ? daniel : ah , hey , there you are . jj : oh , hey . i just got your text . uh , what 's going on ? daniel : well , i just had a meeting to arrange a lecture i 'm gon na give later next quarter . do you , um , do you have a minute ? rory : a minute ? he 's got countless hours now that he dumped debbie downer . jj : rory , if you did n't talk so much , you would n't seem quite so stupid . daniel : would you like to go to my place and talk ? rory : awesome , man ! i love your place ! jj : all right , rory , like most people you know , he does n't want to talk to you , he wants to talk to me . daniel : uh , sorry about that , rory . rory : oh , uh , no worries , that 's totally cool . really . jj : you know , he gets there eventually . all right , let 's just go . paige : hey , theresa , can i talk to you for a second ? theresa : yeah , sure , what 's going on ? paige : nothing , i just noticed you have n't been coming over much lately . i have n't seen you since , you know , we got back from seeing grandpa in california . theresa : oh , well you do know that your mom and i are n't exactly close , right ? paige : yeah , but you used to find reason to stop by before . now it seems like you 're purposefully staying away . theresa : that 's a little paranoid , do n't you think ? paige : is it ? you 're not avoiding me ? theresa : wait -- avoiding you ? paige : mm - hmm . theresa : why would i be avoiding you ? paige : because of what you did . theresa : oh , that , look , honey , do n't blame me , it was your mother 's idea . brady : are you sure that telling your dad is the right way to go ? melanie : well , yeah , he should hear it from us . brady : but right now ? think about it . we have n't really even started dating . what if we realize that we do n't like dating ? i mean , we hate it , and we -- we -- we decide to stop dating and then we will have told him that we were thinking about dating -- it will have just made him mad for no reason . melanie : oh . so you 're afraid we 're going to hate dating . or , and this is just of the top of my head , um , you 're afraid my dad 's gon na kick your ass . brady : [ laughs ] no , um ... i 'm afraid about hurting the feelings of a good friend because he is a man that i respect . melanie : and that he 's gon na kick your ass . brady : it 's a secondary consideration . melanie : well , i definitely do n't want anything to happen to your ass . i have to tell him though . he 's probably gon na freak out a little bit , and i know that he 's your friend but i 've been doing so much lying since i got back , i have to be honest with him . so i have to tell him . and i have to tell him today . theresa : you know ? it is just like your mother to put the blame on me , but i was just following orders . paige : wait , wait , wait , my mother told you to -- to ? theresa : yeah , believe me . it was n't my idea . but you know how her mind works , that 's her answer for everything . paige : what ? theresa : and she was like a dog with a bone , she was like , `` just do it , theresa ! `` and i was like , okay , it 's not really any skin off my teeth and i 'd rather just get it over with than hear her bang on and on and on about it , so i did it -- whatever . paige : why -- why -- why would you go along with it ? i -- theresa : wow , is it really that big of a deal ? paige : what ? theresa : well , honey , look your mom did n't think that you 'd ever know , but i mean , now that you 've found out -- what 's the big issue ? i do n't understand , i mean , he 's certainly no worse for the wear . look -- paige : i ca n't believe -- theresa : we had a great time , paige , so just calm down . it was a treat for him , okay ? i mean , guys that age , they -- they get bored easily . it was a nice change of pace for him and i get that , you know ? i think the same old , same old , it just gets old , you know what i mean ? so it was fine , oh , but hey -- paige : this is sick -- theresa : do n't tell grandma about it , because you know how she is , she 's all right is right and wrong is wrong all the time . i mean , that woman acts like she would n't do the same , or worse , when she was my age . paige : i have to go . theresa : what -- damn it , kid , you 're overreacting ! seriously , it 's fine . turned out great for everybody . paige : i ca n't believe you just said that . theresa : well , you got a nice trip out of it , right ? i mean , who would n't wan na swap out salem for california ? paige : cal -- california ? theresa : yeah , grandpa had a great time , he loved seeing you guys , so , yes , look , if i implied that he was a little sicker than he was , it 's fine , it all worked out . paige : you were talking about grandpa ? theresa : yeah , who 'd you think i was talking about , hmm ? paige : nothing , no one . theresa : honey , do you think maybe you should drop a class or two ? you seem a little stressed . paige : i 'm fine , uh -- can i -- but , can i just ask you one more thing ? theresa : yeah , sure . paige : when was the last time you saw jj ? daniel : so , you broke up with paige , huh ? jj : yeah . daniel : wan na talk about it ? jj : my mom put you up to this , did n't she ? daniel : look -- she 's worried about you . and from the looks of you , yeah , i 'd say she has reason to be . jj : i am pretty much a mess . daniel : she just said she was worried that whatever you 're keeping inside is bad for you , and she gets that you ca n't talk to her about it . but whatever you tell me is private , you know that , right ? and you are talking to somebody who has screwed up big time , uh , more than once . jj : i think i 'd like to talk about it , but it -- it 's just -- it 's such a mess that i -- i -- i would n't know where to start . melanie : and i know grandma said she would n't say anything about us , but she 's not exactly a guarded person , so i feel like she could let it slip . brady : yeah , i still think that -- melanie : no , we already had a close call , remember , with my dad , he almost saw that text message that you sent me ? and you said yourself that theresa is a wild card , so , i do n't think we have another option . i got ta go tell my dad myself . today . brady : you 're right . you 're right . melanie : get used to that . brady : oh . hey , hey , hey , hold it , hold -- let me go with you . melanie : you do n't have to do that . brady : you should n't have to do it alone . jennifer : well , this is certainly a surprise . victor : you 're sure he 's there ? great . all right , i think i 'll pay him a little visit . jordan : is this a coincidence or were you looking for me ? rafe : i was actually looking for you . jordan : why ? rafe : to talk about clyde . you know i 've never liked the guy , i still want him out of salem , and , uh , i was just hoping that you could tell me something , anything , that could put the guy behind bars . jordan : you are not a cop anymore , rafe ! rafe : i know i am not a cop anymore , but i can still investigate people . i know people -- if i find anything , they know what to do -- jordan : i told you to leave this alone , all right ? i know you are trying to help me , but -- rafe : jordan , this is n't just about you anymore . now , i 've got the feeling that this guy 's presence could end up hurting a whole hell of a lot of people . jordan , jordan , do you think so too ? please -- would you please -- help me nail this guy . clyde : [ whistling ] victor : i ca n't imagine what you 've got to smile about . clyde : well , i greet each and every day with a smile on my face , victor . victor : [ laughs ] most idiots do . clyde : oh , i get it . you want be to be upset , do n't you ? well , it 's true , i did receive a little bad news this morning . but it only served to remind me how much i enjoy a good spirited competition . it really gets the blood flowing , do n't it ? rafe : you know i 'm right . clyde weston needs to be stopped , jordan . clyde : i got a chance with ben . you do anything to mess that up , i will tell him everything . jordan : rafe , in all honesty , i do n't know of anything that clyde has done since he 's gotten back to town that was illegal . rafe : what about before ? jordan : look , i am sorry , but i can not help you , okay ? your life has already been turned upside down , you 're not a cop anymore . let 's not make things worse . rafe : i 'm not afraid of him . jordan : i do n't want you to get hurt . rafe : i can take care of myself . you 're the one that i 'm worried about , and not just about clyde ... but chad . jordan : i will not talk about him with you . rafe : oh , i ca n't stand seeing you with a dimera , jordan ! jordan : you have no right to be jealous ! rafe : i -- no , no , no -- this is not about jealousy . it 's about that guy , he is bad news , you ca n't trust him ! jj : so long story short , man . i screwed up , just like i always do . daniel : how ? jj : i -- i ca n't talk about it , at least not right now . daniel : no , no , no , look , i 'm not gon na push . but is there anything i can do to help ? jj : yeah -- well , i fixed it so that no one can do anything . i -- i screwed up with paige , man , and there 's no way to make it right . daniel : well , do you think you 're underestimating her ? i mean , there is such a thing as forgiveness , you know that , right ? jj : yeah , but , you ca n't forgive something that you do n't know . and she can never find out what happened . daniel : okay , okay ... well , you ca n't undo the past . did you at least end things as well as you could with paige ? jj : no , man . not at all . daniel : will you ? right there , maybe that 's something you can do . apologize to her , tell her you 're sorry for hurting her . right ? i mean , that might help alleviate the pain for both of you . 'cause you are miserable , jj . and you need to do something about that . theresa : wait , why the hell do you want to know the last time i saw jj ? paige : i was just wondering if you saw him when i was out in california ? if you guys , maybe , hung out ? theresa : wait , do you pay attention at all ? he and i hate each other . like , what is this about ? paige : i -- i just got confused about something , but -- theresa : oh , okay . clint : there you are . theresa : hey . clint : i was wondering if you wanted to take a break ? theresa : actually , that would be amazing . paige : but you just got here . theresa : yeah , well , i find being cross examined exhausting . i 'll see you later , pumpkin . come on . brady : what do you mean ? what -- what 's a -- what 's a surprise ? jennifer : i guess i just did n't expect to see the -- the two of you here . i 'm sorry , am i interrupting something ? brady : [ laughs ] no , jen , no , no , not at all . melanie : no , um , i was just -- i was complaining to brady about a work thing . jennifer : what -- a work thing ? is anne giving you grief ? because i can help you with that . melanie : no , no , no , no , no , nothing like that . jennifer : well let me know if she does . melanie : you got it . jennifer : okay , well , i 'll see you guys later . have a nice day . brady : you too . melanie : super smooth . i do n't think she picked up on anything weird . you should look into undercover work . brady : okay , okay , listen , you 're right . your dad needs to know before the whole town figures it out . melanie : [ laughs ] yeah . brady : yeah . melanie : thank you , though , for offering to come with me . i just have to do it by myself . um , i think it 'll go over better that way , so ... okay . brady : um , mel ? good luck . melanie : i 'll need it . jj : hey . rory : hey . so , uh , how 'd things go with dan the doc ? jj : he gave me some good advice . i need to see paige again and apologize . because even if i ca n't tell her exactly what happened , i can still say that i 'm sorry . rory : i still do n't get what it is that you ca n't tell her . i mean , ha , how could she hate you more than she already does ? jj : i got ta protect her . rory : okay . i know i 'm not her biggest fan , but she does n't seem to me like a girl who needs protecting . jj : yeah , maybe you 're right . maybe she can handle more than i think she can . paige : so , i thought i figured out who jj slept with but i think i was wrong . which is good , because it would have been totally gross . daphne : well , i hope you do find out who it was . you 're gon na keep obsessing about it until you do . paige : i do n't think i 'm ever going to know . daphne : you know , men really do suck . i 've got english lit next . great expectations . i love that old lady , she sticks it to 'em . men , i mean . cole : i thought it was you . you 're exactly who i need to see . clint : it 's been a great twelve hours .

'cause i think i know exactly what you 're going to say . daniel : hey . what are you doing home ? melanie : um , i 'm looking for you because i need to talk to you . daniel : oh , yeah ? about serena , right ? melanie : huh ? daniel : what , did she tell you what happened last night with nicole ? melanie : no . daniel : oh , okay . melanie : what happened ? daniel : just a public disagreement , that 's all . melanie : how out of character for nicole ! that 's crazy ! so , i 'm assuming you 're upset with her ? daniel : uh , yeah , but you know , i really do n't wan na talk about it , so why do n't we talk about you ? melanie : it can wait . daniel : no , honey , honey , it 's fine . what is it ? what is it you wanted to tell me ? cole : i was wondering if i could have , like , five minutes ? paige : why ? cole : well , i just got out of rehab . while i was there , i had a lot of thinking to do . and , uh , when i thought about what i did to you , putting those drugs in your purse , it -- it was n't easy to face that clean and sober . i know i owe you an apology . paige : it 's okay . cole : and -- it 's just -- and this is n't an excuse , but -- jj : hey ! what the hell you doing talking to her ? theresa : hmm ... let me guess . you 're gon na ask if i really know that guy . brady : do you ? theresa : no . but he 's really hot and he 's great in the sack , so that 's all i really care about . brady : you are such a piece of work , you know that ? you really are . theresa : you know what , brady ? go ahead , judge me all you want . but fooling around with a complete stranger , yeah , it might be a terrible idea , but it 's 100 times better than being with you . you 're a pathetic loser . thank god you 're out of my life for good . daniel : why do i get the feeling i 'm not going to like what you 're about to tell me ? melanie : no , no , no , no . i mean -- it 's not -- it 's not -- it 's not a big deal . i mean , it 's hardly worth even mentioning , but -- but i just wanted to -- to tell you myself , so you do n't find out from somebody else , in particular , somebody else , because you 're right , you might not like what i have to say , but you prob -- i mean -- you might love it -- it might be a great thing if you really think about it . daniel : melanie , what are you trying to tell me ? melanie : okay , uh , brady and i are gon na start dating each other . victor : is that what you think this is , a competition ? clyde : well , actually i was being generous . competition implies that you actually have a chance of winning . victor : you really do n't get it , do you , weston ? i 'm not about to walk away and let you take over this town . especially when you got your people pushing product beyond all reasonable boundaries . clyde : do n't fence me in , victor . i mean , i get it that you 're mad . mad that you never thought as big as i do . victor : you go after my men again , you 're gon na regret it . clyde : well , you talk a big game , victor , but you do n't have what it takes to back it up . now , you used to . but you do n't anymore . you face it , kiriakis . you are living in the past . jordan : i really think you should go . rafe : okay , i know that i screwed up by sleeping with kate . i know , okay ? i 'm gon na regret that for the rest of my life . i just hope you know how much i loved you . how much i still do . jordan : no ... rafe : okay , well ... maybe you -- one day you 'll forgive me and -- at least stop hating me . jordan : rafe , i could never hate you . uh ... | jennifer went to see daniel to talk about jj . brady and melanie met to see if they could be a couple . paige talked to her friend about who she thought slept with jj . victor threatened clyde to rafe . rafe warned victor not to go after clyde . rafe offered to go after clyde legally . jennifer wanted daniel to talk to jj . melanie wanted to tell daniel the truth about them , but brady did n't want her to . daniel wanted to talk to jj . paige thought jj cheated with theresa . paige got the wrong idea when theresa was talking about shane . paige asked when was the last time she talked to jj . |

hope : yeah , i guess . shawn - d : what happens ? hope : i keep seeing larry in my mind 's eye , but it feels like he 's really here right in front of me . he just materializes out of the blue , and -- i n't know how to stop it . i talked to your dad about it . and marlena . i 'm going to go into therapy with her . she thinks it 's really important for me to open up to people , tell me what 's going on with me instead of pretending that there 's nothing wrong . shawn - d : well , mom , i knew that you were tense , but why did n't you say something before ? hope : because i did n't want it to be happening . i 've put you through so much already . shawn - d : no . okay , hold on . you did not put us through anything . larry did . hope : it 's affecting my memory . there are moments , gaps i ca n't remember where i was or what i did . shawn - d : mom , i wtt to help you get through this . you know that . i 'll do anything . hope : can you tell me what happened the night colin was murdered ? jennifer : okay , we need to get back to work . let 's talk about our suspects here , okay ? right here . you and me , we 're eliminated . who 's left ? jack : well , we can eliminate our usual suspect -- tony dimera . jennifer : tony dimera . yes . who else has a motive ? jack : who else ? did colin have anything on anyone ? jennifer : what , you mean blackmail ? jack : possibly . who was he making life hard for , other than yourself ? bingo ! jennifer : what ? what ? who ? jack ? jack : do you remember when we saw colin kissing ninicole walker in salem place ? there was a photographer shooting pictures . colin was using the photographs to blackmail nicole , and -- jennifer : no , no , he wasn't . he wasn't . jack : no ? why not ? jennifer : no , colin told me about those photos months ago when victor and nicole were going to get married at tuscany . it turns out sami hired that photographer . jack : sami ? you 're sure ? jennifer : yes , i 'm positive . i mean , i asked her and she did n't deny it . colin thought she was going to use those photos to stop the wedding , but it turns out the ceremony fizzled because nicole was still married to lucas , remember ? jack : what happened to the photographs ? jennifer : sami said she gave them to nicole . jack : colin made copies of those photographs . he made copies , then he used those -- jennifer : oh , jack , what am i doing ? i need to get out of here . i 'm supposed to be at tuscany right now to finish decorating for gram 's birthday party . i forgot . i got to go right now . jack : all right , well , i 'm gon na stay right here . i 'm gon na do a little more digging , then i 'll come over to tuscany , and i 'll tell you what i know . jennifer : okay . jack : okay . jack : right . jennifer : i 'll see you at tuscany . jack : right . jk : k : all right , i 'm looking for dirt on colin and nicole . fay : brandon , honey , i am not accusing you of killing colin murphy . i 'm just afraid that -- well , by your actions that night , that other people might think that you were involved . brandon : my actions ? fay : honey , you said that you were going to take care of colin . you went for a walk , and you never came back . then you were there when belle found the body , and then you took off just before the police arrived ? brandon : did abe carver put you up to this ? fay : no , of course not ! how can you even think tha brandon ? honey ... i am here because i am your mother , and i care very much what happens to you . please , honey ... just tell me you did n't do it . sami : oh , my god . brandon took care of colin . if his mom has figured it out , it 's only a matter of time before the police do . oh , thank god i remembered to leave my phone on vibrate . who is this ? jack : it 's me . i 'm over here at the `` spectator . `` can you get over here ? sami : this is not a good time , jack . jack : you sure ? i think i 've got a lead on who killed your cousin colin . sami : i - i 'll be right there . victor : interesting . nicole : what is ? victor : well , there have been some developments in the colin murphy murder investigation since we left . nicole : really ? you were on the web every day of our honeymoon reading whatever you could find . victor : yes , but none of those news services went into very much detail . and to think that it happened right here on our terrace . victor : so who do you think ? nicole : who do i think what ? victor : murdered the good doctor , blew him away , put him out of business . nicole : how should i know ? victor : well , the police are certainly going to want to question both of us . i hope you can account for everything you did that night . nicole : of course . victor : 'cause there are several things that certainly need to be explained . nicole : are you accusing me of killing colin ? victor : not at all . but unless you can come up with an airtight alibi , i think there 's a very good possibility the police are going to . belle : the brooch was my grandmother 's , and it would have been rude of me to give it back . cassie : well , at lea p part of you is willing to admit you 're related to the dimeras . belle : daphne was not a dimera . she was just unfortunate enough to marry one of them . cassie : well , you 're connected nevertheless . belle : i do n't want to talk about this right now . cassie : fine . so what did , um , shawn get you for christmas ? belle : something nice . a date ... that had to be postponed . cassie : are you going to reschedule ? belle : why ? cassie : i just know how excited you two were about spdiding some special time together . belle : what are you trying to get at , cassie ? cassie : nothing . i just think that you 're really lucky to be spending any time with him at all , considering everything that he 's going through . belle : you know what ? it 's getting really late , and i should head over to tuscany . cassie : what for ? belle : i promised shawn and his mom that i would help decorate for his great- grandmother 's birthday party . cassie : okay , well , i 'll go with you . belle : no , that 's really nice , but -- cassie : no , i 'm going to go because i want to help shawn , too . hope : i saw colin on the terrace . he was on the cell phone . he said he was going to kill your father , and then all of a sudden , he was larry . he had a gun . shawn - d : are you sure he was larry ? hope : that 's the whole point . larry is dead , but it seemed as if he was standing right there in front of me on victor 's terrace . shawn - d : okay , so what else do you remember ? hope : talking to jennifer outside . then there 's a gap . the next thing i remember is asking victor 's chauffeur to give me a ride home . this is so frustrating . do you have any idea what i did before i left the wedding ? shawn - d : no . hope : are you keeping something from me ? shawn - d : why would i do something like that ? hope : i do n't know . shawn - d : okay , mom ... look , i - i searched everywhere for you in that house , okay ? and i was freaking out because i thought someone had snatched you away from us again , but at the end of the night , i found out you were here at home safe the entire time . hope : no , i do remember your father coming home . he was so relieved . shawn - d : yeah . so , obviously , nothing happened . okay . hope : i wish i could be sure . shawn - d : so , ma , you know , thinking about this is just stressing you out , so i think you just need to let it go , all right ? look at the time , okay ? maggie 's going to be wondering what happened to us . we should get going . hope : okay , the decorations are in my car . do you have a set of keys ? shawn - d : yeah , yeah , i got the keys right here . let 's -- let 's -- let 's go . shawn - d : so , uh , what time does gran 's party start ? hope : um , dinnertime . maggie closed tuscany so , uh , we could all have it to ourselves . shawn - d : oh . larry : tuscany , huh ? yeah , the perfect place for hope to say arrivederci to her sanity . we will return for the second half of `` days of our lives `` in just a moment . sami : okay , tell me . jack : first i need to ask you a couple of questions . sami : hey , wait a second . you think i did it ? no way , okay ? i 've already been through this with my dad . jack : whoa , relax , relax , relax . no one 's accusing you of anything . sami : oh . jack : except perhaps a little creative blackmail . hope : oh , boy . shawn - d : aw , man . maggie : oh , here you are ! mickey : did you think they 'd forget mom 's birthday party ? hey ! hope : not in a million years . i thought dad and julie were going to be here . jennifer : oh , they are . they 're just running some last - minute errands . maggie : okay , what do you think of tonight 's menu ? mickey : we 're having mom 's favorites . jennifer and hope : chocolate cake . hope : it 'll be a perfect party . jennifer : we 're set . maggie : there you go . come on . bring them in here . hope : yes , it 's going . maggie : come on , honey . belle : hey , shawn . uh , sorry we 're late . shawn - d : cassie , hey . cassie : hey . i wanted to be here for you . i hope that 's okay . shawn - d : yeah . yeah , sure . belle : shawn , so , how 's your ... csisie : how 's your grandfather ? shawn - d : better . he 's better . he actually -- he 's with zack , or zack 's taking care of him . he has his doctor bag and everything . he 's prescribing grandpa chocolate pills . belle : yeah , well , we all know chocolate cures everything . shawn - d : yeah , well , being with zack -- that 'll put a smile on anybody 's face . belle : so what can we do to help ? shawn - d : uh , let 's go ask aunt maggie . jennifer : i hope i 'm going the right direction . hope : that jacket was really warm . jennifer : yeah ? so how you been doing ? hope : well , i , um ... i think talking to you and marlena really helped a lot . jennifer : good , good . i 'm glad . hope : what about you ? how are you doing ? jennifer : fine , fine . you know , jack and i are hard at work on the murder story . hope : and personally ? jennifer : well , you know , we 've always teamed up well . you know , we hypothesize , and we poke holes in each other 's ideas just to make sure we 're not missing anything . in fact , before i came here , we were going over some possible suspects besides tony dimera , of course . and you know what ? i think we may have a lead . shawn - d : you know who murdered colin ? brandon : my own mother thinks i 'm capable of murder . thank you very much . fay : that is not what i am saying . brandon : you 're afraid i 'm turning into my father . fay : i 'm just saying if you add up the facts -- just fill me in , brandon . if you are innocent , why did you leave the scene ? brandon : because i knew abe was on his way , all right ? i knew that he would try to link me to the crime , and i was right . i went down to the police station to make a statement , and he -- he treated me like dirt . fay : what do you mean ? brandon : the only reason carver let me go was because they did n't have enough evidence against me . he thinks i 'm some kind of criminal , and apparently , so do you . fay : honey , i 'm just concerned . sometimes you lose your temper , and when that happens -- brandon : all right , do n't say another word . i do n't want to fight with you , okay ? fay : okay . no more . fay : i love you . i just want you to be happy , honey . brandon : i know . i love you , too . fay : okay , well , i -- i got to go , sweetheart . brandon : all right . fay : bye . victor : a bit early in the day to be drinking , do n't you think ? nicole : well , when you 're brand - new husband insinuates you may have committed murder ... victor : oh , i was n't insinuating anything , just pointing out what t p police might think . nicole : are you amusing yourself in some perverse way , victor ? i mean , what is this , a game of clue ? it 's colonel mustard in the gazebo with his revolver . no , no , no , it 's -- it 's miss scarlet on the terrace with her blowgun . victor : now , who needs clues when there 's tape of you making love to the deceased ? the police thought that colin was blackmailing you . that would certainly be motive for murder . nicole : is that a threat ? victor : on the contrary . the tape is locked up in my safe , to which only my attorney and i have the combination . as long as it 's in my possession , you 'll be protected . nicole : and so will you . victor : and just what does that mean ? nicole : that tape gives you a damn good motive to shoot colin -- jealousy . victor : come now . nicole : victor , everyone knows how possessive you are , and that tape shows colin as your rival . it gives you an excellenrereason to eliminate him . the only question is , who 's the more likely suspect -- the unfaithful bride or the angry groom ? sami : that 's absolutely ridiculous . i was n't blackmailing anyone . jack : you sure about that ? sami : why ? jack : you recall a certain set of photographs of colin kissing nicole walker ? sami : you think i had those taken ? jack : jennifer does . as i understand it , she and colin confronted you about those photographs at tuscany the night that victor was supposed to marry nicole walker . you did n't deny it . sami : and i 'm not going to deny it now . jack : so you were putting pressure on nicole . sami : well , she deserved it . she was pressuring me to break up with brandon . jack : and where are those photographnonow ? sami : well , as it turns out , she had more on me than i had on her , so i had to give her back the pictures , and she destroyed them . jack : you did n't make copies ? sami : no . look , i did n't have time , okay , jack ? jack : right . right . but what about colin ? could he have made copies ? is it possible that he used them to blackmail the blushing bride ? sami : i guess anything 's possible . wait a second . if colin threatened to tell victor that his bride - to - be was cheating on him , i mean , victor would definitely have called off the wedding . and i saw nicole have a major meltdown at the .com . the day before . i mean , she was absolutely scared about something . jack : so if nicole wanted to save her marriage , is it possible that she would 've ... sami : murdered colin to keep him quiet ? definitely . sami : of course nicole killed colin . he was a threat to her lifelong dream of being filthy rich -- the widow kiriakis . jack : are your privy to anything else besides those photographs ? sami : i also overheard colin tell nicole that he missed her between the sheets . jack : where were you , under the bed ? sami : ha ha . look , are you going to call the police or what ? jack : no , no , not until i have some solid proof . sami : well , i 'll do anything to help you get it . i mean , if she killed my cousin , she deserves to pay . jack : well , do n't say anything just yet . i do n't want this to compromise my investigation . sami : it 's our little secret , jacko . look , i have to get going . if i think of anything else , i 'll call you . jack : you 're a pal , sami . and remember ... sami : [ thinking ] talk about killing two birds with one stone ... colin is dead , so he ca n't tell brandon that i changed the paternity test , and if jack can sic the cops on nicole , maybe they 'll leave brandon alone . that way , the two of us can be together forever while nicole rots in jail . it 's perfect . well ... almost . it would 've been better if i could 've pinned it on lexie , but this is the next best thing . larry : alice is n't the only one who 's going to be in for a big surprise tonight . belle : perfect . maggie : that 's great . now , honey , do n't forget to bring in the closed sign before your mom arrives , okay ? jennifer : shawn , jack and i are working to together to crack this case . shawn - d : well , do you , uh , have some new evidence ? jennifer : no , we do n't , but -- but we 're looking . shawn - d : what i meant was , um , is n't it the police department 's job ? i mean , if they have n't found anything , then ... how would you guys have come up with anything ? jennifer : well , you kw , w , we 're just -- we 're following the story , and we 're going to see where it leads . sometimes , you can find a clue where you least expect it . shawn - d : yeah , right . hope : shawn , why -- why are you so interested ? shawn - d : mom , because colin 's my cousin , and i was there when he was mur -- murdered -- well , you know , i was at victor 's house when it all happened . why are we talking about this ? this is so creepy . we 're supposed to be getting ready for a party . cassie : i love parties . belle : um , ahem , is shawn okay ? hope : he 's been very worried about his grandpa . belle : yeah , about you , too , but , um , he wo n't talk to me about it . hope : sweetie , come here . cassie : i understand . shawn - d : you understand what ? cassie : i know what 's bothering you . ( cat owner ) when i brought alice home ... sami : brandon ! brandon : right here . sami : we have to hurry up and get ready for mrs . horton 's surprise party -- what happened ? brandon : well , a little accident . sami : how did your visit go with your mom ? brandon : it went all right . sami : what did she want ? braonon : just to let me know that nicole was back from her honeymoon . i should call her , see how it went . sami : [ thinking ] call her while you can . with any luck at all , nicole will be in jail soon . jack : nicole had to have the means . she had the opportunity and the motive . all i need now is some solid evidence . careful , jack , careful . she is the latest mrs . victor kiriakis . even though he 's been fairly benign the last couple of years , victor can be just as ruthless as the dimeras . i 'm sure he 'd do anything to protect his new bride . victor : did you forget who you were talking to ? nicole : why , do you think you 're above the law ? victor : nobody 's going to believe that i killed colin . nicole : why not ? victor : and even if i were accused , do n't forget a wife ca n't be forced to testify against her husband . nicole : that works both ways , dearest . victor : well , thank you for pointing out an excellent reason why we should stay together . till death do us part . shawn - d : cassie , what are you talking about ? cassie : well , you 're worried about your mother . shawn - d : yeah . yeah , but she seems like she 's doing okay . and anyways , we have to get these decorations finished before gran shows up . cassie : i 'll help you . shawn - d : okay , sure . belle : oh , you know what ? cassie , it 's all right . i can take care of that . shawn - d : belle . belle : hey . shawn - d : belle , hey . belle : you know , um , i do n't want to be rude , but this is a party for the horton family and friends . cassie : i 'm a friend . belle : yeah , but you were n't invited , and they 're not really planning on you for dinner and everything . shawn - d : um , cassie , i - i appreciate your help , but belle does kind of have a point . belle : yeah , um , you really should n't be here . cassie : well , that 's fine . yeah , that 's great . i 'm going to go . shawn - d : well , that -- that , um , that was n't exactly subtle . belle : i was n't trying to be subtle because i 'm starting to think subtle does n't work with cassie . shawn - d : okay . larry : come on , hope . the spirits are getting restless . maggie : are there any more of those satin ribbons ? hope : uh , actually , you know what ? i have some in the car . i 'll be right back . i 'll get them , okay ? maggie : oh , thanks , hope . shawn - d : all right , i can not do this . belle : it 's okay . your mom went to go get some more . um , are you okay ? you want to talk to me about it ? shawn - d : no , and i wish everyone would stop pushing . hope : oh ! all : surprise ! shawn - d : i - i need to talk to someone . i need to tell someone . bo : you 're not alone . we 'll beat this thing . larry : [ thinking ] i do n't think so . | hope throws a vase at shawn , thinking he 's larry . hope fills him in on her `` larry sightings . `` she talks him about colin 's murder . she asks shawn if he 's keeping something from her . shawn questions jen on what she knows about the murder . larry makes a plan to push hope 's sanity over the edge . he follows hope to tuscany . jack and jen are back to work . he tells her if he moves back into the house it has to be permanent . they try to figure out who murdered colin . jack thinks it might be nicole . he talks to sami about the pictures . belle and cassie argue about whether or not the blacks are `` cursed . `` belle tells cassie that tony is the prime suspect in colin 's murder . cassie denies it . cassie invites herself along with belle to visit shawn . belle tells cassie she is n't welcome at alice 's party . fay and brandon discuss colin 's murder . she comments on brandon 's temper . sami eavesdrops and thinks brandon did it . nicole accuses victor of trying to control her . they also discuss who killed colin . victor tells nicole she could be considered a suspect . victor tells her he has the sex tape locked up . nicole points out that tape could throw suspicion on victor . preparations are made for alice 's birthday party . |

she ca n't just flap her angel wings and fly over the snow drifts ? eve : obviously you do n't feel like talking right now . theresa : no , no , sure i do . we could bond . we could talk about something meaningful , but , unfortunately , i have to meet somebody , okay ? eve : who , a guy ? theresa : you know what ? it is none of your business who i see . i was just wondering maybe you had a new guy in your life . theresa : why ? why do you care ? eve : well , believe it or not , theresa , i actually do care about you . theresa : yeah , well , stop . why do n't you care about somebody else ? why do n't you worry about your precious daughter ? paige : stop sticking your nose into my life , jj . we 're done because that 's the way you wanted it , okay ? so what i do now is none of your business . jj : come on , paige . you know cole . he tried to plant drugs on you . paige : no , bev put him up to that because she wanted you , and i never saw you doing much to discourage her . jj : you know what ? i know what i 've done . this is n't about me . it 's him . paige : well , at least i know what cole 's all about , which is more than i can say for you . you know , i was so sure i knew you , but you -- you totally had me fooled . jj : cole , he 's -- he 's nothing but a player , paige . paige : who are you to talk ? you know , if you want someone who cares what you think , why do n't you go find that girl you hooked up with ... and leave me alone ? daniel : okay , okay , i admit . i probably do n't think any guy is good enough for you . melanie : okay , but this is brady we 're talking about . daniel : yeah , it is , and i think it 's too soon for him to be in a relationship with anybody , especially one that could really hurt him if it does n't work out . melanie : why ? daniel : because he 's been sober for less than a year , and staying that way has to be his top priority . melanie : it is . daniel : okay , he 's older than you . he 's older than you . melanie : are you -- in years , maybe , but not experience . have you forgotten how i grew up ? daniel : no , i have not , although i try not to think about it . baby -- melanie : all right , okay , look , but listen , i -- daniel : what ? melanie : i was just thrown out of a casino a couple months ago . that had to have aged me a little bit . daniel : are you looking at this realistically ? melanie : yes , i am . daniel : no , you 're not ! melanie : dad , stop . this happened out of nowhere , but i really think that there 's a chance that we could make each other happy . daniel : okay , do you love him ? melanie : do i love him ? daniel : yes . melanie : i do n't know . i do n't know , but he does n't either , dad , so what 's wrong with trying to figure that out ? look , okay , all right , just come sit over here . after chad -- dad , look , please ? after chad , i put my heart away in storage for a long time , and it 's been a while since i 've felt this way about a guy . we 're going slow . we both are . so is brady . i mean , it almost did n't even happen . daniel : but now it is . melanie : well , yeah , we discussed it , and we decided it was worth the risk . we just did n't want to hide it from anybody . daniel : in this town ? could n't do that if you wanted to . melanie : yeah , no kidding . daniel : yeah , well , which one of you is going to tell -- tell maggie ? melanie : oh , she already knows . she walked in on us .... kissing . she walked in on us kissing . chill . so now you know , and maggie knows . those are the only two people whose opinion i care about . we 're not gon na do anything crazy . i promise , okay ? we have n't even been on a real date yet , okay ? this could all be over before , you know , it begins . but if you like somebody , you 're supposed to give it a shot , right ? daniel : [ sighs ] yeah . melanie : thank you . daniel : no , do n't be thanking me and looking at me like that . melanie : i 'm -- i wo n't keep anything from you again . i promise . daniel : oh , my god . eve : i know what you 're doing , miss thing . theresa : and what 's that ? eve : mm - hmm . getting the attention off yourself by getting me going about my daughter . theresa : you know , she came to see me today . did she tell you that ? oh , she did n't , did she ? yeah , she wanted to know if i 'd been with jj lately . eve : really ? theresa : yeah . you know what ? your baby girl might be book smart , but she is life dumb if she thinks i 'd ever hang out with that loser again . eve : i do n't know why she would even be asking about jj . theresa : oh , please , eve . eve : she broke it off with him . theresa : do n't kid yourself . she 's got jj on the brain . she 's still hung up on him as ever . eve : you know what ? i 've got some errands to run , but are you okay ? theresa : yes , i 'm fine . why would n't i be ? eve : because you 're acting just a little bit crazy , even for you . oh , gosh . theresa : okay . what did weird me out ? hey , you 're back . clint : i saw you talking to yourself . you okay ? theresa : for your information , i have never been better . paige : i think you should go . i 'm really sorry about that . cole : me and your boyfriend -- we hate each other now , but i was n't trying to get you -- paige : no , do n't worry about it , and he 's not my boyfriend . cole : he 's not ? paige : not anymore . brady : i guess melanie talked to you . daniel : yeah , she did , and now you and i need to get a few things straight . rafe : look me in the eye . look me in the eye and tell me that you trust him . jordan : i trust him , and i am sick of you making me feel like i 'm too dumb to make the right choices for myself . rafe : i do n't think that you 're dumb , jordan ... not at all . i think you 're a good person . you 're just being conned by a pro , and you 're gon na end up getting hurt . jordan : i can take care of myself . and for the record , nothing chad does could possibly hurt me more than you did . rafe : jordan ... chad : i do not get why you 're so upset , benny . ben : you talk to me about your sex life with abigail , and you wonder why i 'm upset . chad : come on , i was paying abigail a compliment . i have nothing but good things to say about her ... and jordan . but from my experience , abigail is n't nearly as good as your sister is in bed . john : come here . hey , knock it off . knock it off . what the hell 's going on here ? chad : [ coughs ] john : what the hell is going on here ? chad : i was just trying to talk to him , and he started swinging . ben : you lying bastard . abe : hey , you got to get looked at by a doctor . come on . chad : you know , rafe warned you that if you did n't get that temper under control , you 'd get in trouble . ben : you son of a bitch . john : stop it , stop it . there 's been other incidents ? chad : yeah , you do n't believe me , talk to rafe . abe : all right , come on , i 'm gon na get you -- hey , hey . just keep him back . keep him back . john : stop it , it 's over . knock it off . it 's over . stop it . maggie : so you told your dad ? how 'd it go ? melanie : he was surprised . maggie : yeah , i 'm sure of it . melanie : i think i made him feel better about it , though . i know i did . maggie : so you think it went well ? melanie : yeah . yeah , really well . brady : you look pretty upset . daniel : yeah , yeah , really did n't see that one coming . brady : neither did we . daniel : that 's what melanie said . look , i love you . i would do anything for you . and i appreciate the fact that you 've been working hard to put your life back together , so if you and melanie think that this could be a good thing ... i wo n't get in the way . brady : daniel , that -- that means a lot to me . daniel : let me finish . i 'll keep my word . i know better than to get between the two of you , but before you get into this , you should know one thing . if you break melanie 's heart or if you hurt her even a little bit , you will have to deal with me . brady : i know . you do n't even have to say it . daniel : i think i do . brady : you 're protective of your daughter . i respect it . but i 've known melanie a long time too . she 's a dear friend of mine . i 'm protective of her as well . i will never hurt her . daniel : i 'm gon na hold you to that . clint : do you have to get back to work ? theresa : uh , technically , yes , but you know what ? suddenly i 'm just not feeling so well . maybe i should call in sick . clint : sounds good to me . anne : there you are . theresa : what are you doing here ? anne : i 'm looking for you . you know you 're still on the clock at the hospital ? somebody is gon na catch on . theresa : ca n't you just tell them that i got sick and i went home on my lunch break ? anne : theresa , you do n't want to lose this job , okay ? clint : did you hear what the lady said ? she 's not going back . theresa : uh , you know what ? anne 's right . i should probably head back to the hospital , um , but i 'll catch you later , right ? clint : yeah , later . theresa : great . so you ready to head back to the hospital ? anne : you need a mental hospital . seriously , what is wrong with you ? are you out of your mind that you would spend more than two minutes with that goon ? get out of here . come on . cole : looks like things changed pretty fast while i was in rehab . i thought you and jj were tight . paige : we were , and now we 're not . cole : what happened ? he hook up with somebody else ? paige : how did you know ? cole : i did n't , but i know jj . [ line trilling ] [ cell phone ringing ] eve : what do you want ? jj : we have to talk right now in person . eve : why ? what 's going on ? jj : i 'll tell you when i see you . eve : look , i ca n't be seen with you . jj : well , then i 'll come to your place . eve : no . jj : all right , look , then you 're gon na come to my house . nobody 's home . park down the street , and you 're gon na go through the back door . eve : are you sure nobody 's there ? jj : yes , my mom and sister are gone . nobody 's home , and if anyone shows up , just say that you came by to let me have it . trust me , they 'll buy it . eve : i do n't like this . jj : just do it . i 'll see you there in five minutes . with psoriatic arthritis , i had intense joint pain that got worse and worse . chad : thank you . abigail : chad , we just found out you were here . jordan : what 's wrong ? what happened ? chad : your brother . john : thanks for coming by , rafe . rafe : [ sighs ] yeah , what 's going on ? john : yeah , looks like i 'm gon na have to run him in . rafe : why ? john : i do n't know . abe and i were having a cup of coffee , and then ben here just starts beating the hell out of chad dimera . rafe : oh , ben ... what 'd you do that for ? ben : he said something i did n't like . rafe : which was what ? ben : does it matter ? john : chad claims he 's done it before , and you know all about it , so what say you ? maggie : what happened with daniel ? melanie : he thinks brady has n't been sober long enough . maggie : that 's true . current wisdom says a person should stay sober at least a year before making any serious life decisions . melanie : right , but he 's been -- he 's been doing so well . should n't he get time off for good behavior ? maggie : the tincture of time is what brady needs right now . melanie : i so very much respect what you 're saying . i do , but i care just as much about brady 's sobriety as he does . maggie : honey , i know your heart is in the right place , and i know how much you care about brady . melanie : he 's my best friend . i mean , he 's been there for me through philip and through losing the baby . i mean , besides you and my dad and parker and my mom , he 's the most important person in the world to me . i would never do something to hurt him or disappoint you . maggie : i 'm worried about that right there . and as far as you disappointing me , that 's not possible . anne : theresa , after a guy like brady black and paul narita , how do you settle for this creep ? theresa : he 's fun . anne : sure he is , if you define `` fun `` as , like , a druggie , loser control freak with obvious anger - management issues . theresa : okay , fine , look , he 's not paul or brady . you know what ? right now he is the perfect guy for me . anne : [ sighs ] cole : you were right to dump jj . i was with bev when we first met him , and he started coming on to her from day one , even though he was n't into her that much . did n't matter to her , though . pretty soon , she was all about him . you know , he took her away from me just because he could . it 's how the guy operates . paige : cole , i really do n't want to hear this , okay ? jj : took you long enough . eve : you know paige has been grilling theresa , trying to find out if she 's seen you lately , jj ? jj : and who told you that -- theresa ? she 's just stirring up trouble . eve : no , no , no , she has an amazing radar for that kind of stuff . she also says that paige is still very much into you , and she wants to know and trying to find out who you 've been sleeping with . jj : well , that 's not the biggest problem you have to worry about right now . eve : oh , really ? then what is ? jj : well , i saw paige with a guy named cole . eve : what were they doing , jj ? jj : talking . eve : about what ? jj : what difference does that make ? she should n't be in the same room with that guy . eve : oh , my god , they were talking , jj . it 's not like they 're dating . jj : well , you have to stop this before it goes any -- eve : just calm down . i 'm -- i 'm getting out of here . jj : no , no , listen . you got to listen to me , okay ? i know that you think that i 'm the scum of the earth , and i probably am , but this guy -- he 's much worse , eve , even if he 's not related to my mom . eve : okay , what 's wrong with him ? jj : okay , for starters , he 's a drug dealer and is a user . he just got out of rehab . he 's clean right now , but that will not last . eve : hmm , maybe you 're just saying all this to turn me against this boy because he actually likes my daughter . jj : okay , you think i 'm bad for her ? eve : mm - hmm . jj : when he first met her , he tried to plant drugs on her . eve : she never said anything to me about that . jj : like she would ? eve : well , maybe you 're making it up , jj . jj : no , for god 's sake , i know you hate me , but you need to hate him more right now . you need to watch out for your daughter , eve . eve : i got you out of her life , did n't i ? hmm ? jj : you know what ? none of this is paige 's fault , but she can be the one that pays the price . she does n't listen to a word that i say anymore , and i do n't blame her , but she still listens to you , so you need to step up , damn it , and be the mother that you say she deserves . you ca n't let her get hurt again , and with this guy , it 'll be much worse . do you hear what i 'm saying to you ? eve : [ sighs ] i 'll take care of him . jj : swear it . eve : i swear . cole : i did n't mean to start in on jj . i guess it was my way of talking about me . paige : what about you ? cole : since i got out of rehab , i 've been doing this thing where i 'm trying to tell the people i hurt when i was using that i 'm sorry . it 's not a lot of fun . god . my mom . but the point is , what i was trying to say when jj came in is that i 'm sorry i tried to plant drugs on you . all i know is i 've got to find a way to start over again . it 's not easy trying to fit in . it 's like there really is n't a place for me anywhere . paige : that must be really hard . cole : yeah , it is . paige : give it some time . i have to go . cole : sure . paige : are you okay ? cole : yeah , i 'm cool . you go ahead . i should probably get going too . you know , it 's just -- paige : what ? cole : i do n't really know where to go . i ca n't stay at home all the time . i 'll go nuts . and i ca n't hang with rory and bev and that whole crowd . they all hate me anyway after i narked on rory and jj last year . paige : you can make new friends , ca n't you ? cole : who ? all the good kids -- they do n't like me either . i think they 're bunch of stuck - up losers . paige : so what do you do ? cole : well , this app on my phone , this really cool voice , it takes the stuff i write and turns it into a song . paige : [ stammers ] how does it work ? cole : here . like , i go ... i know this girl named paige . she 's way too cool to be my age . [ phone beeps ] [ electronic music playing ] paige : oh , that 's awesome . cole : you 're putting me on . paige : no , no , i 'm really not . theresa : you know what ? i am sick of trying to be good enough for guys like brady . at least clint likes me for who i am . anne : mm - hmm . for how long ? theresa : i do n't care if it 's just for today . and you know what ? maybe it 's better that way . anne : okay , and what does he do for a living , this clint person ? he does n't seem like the corporate type to me . theresa : i do n't know , and you know what ? i do n't actually care . anne : okay , well , as long as he does n't start borrowing money from you , t . theresa : well , you know what ? at least he 's not flaky like paul narita . anne : yeah , or good - looking and loaded like brady black , god forbid . theresa : actually , the fact that he is not like brady at all is what turns me on the most about him . melanie : hi . brady : hi . talked to your dad . melanie : yeah , i had a feeling he was headed over here . how 'd that go ? brady : about as well as can be expected , i guess . he did n't seem too happy . melanie : how about you ? are you happy ? daniel : i talked to -- talked to brady . maggie : you angry with him ? daniel : a little , yeah , but he 's not the one i 'm really mad at . maggie : melanie ? daniel : no . no , i 'm just mad at myself . rafe : ben , i do n't like chad dimera any more than you do . he goes around town , pressing people 's buttons . god knows he 's pressed mine , but you have got to find a better way to react to all this . i warned you . i warned you what would happen if you got into another fight with him . john : so you do have a history . rafe : is dimera pressing charges ? ben : of course he is . he finally got what he 's been trying to get all this time . jordan : ben did this to you ? chad : it 's not like it has n't happened before . except this time , he just lost it . abigail : so -- so ben just started punching you for no reason at all ? chad : what is that supposed to mean ? abigail : that i 'm wondering what you said to him . chad : look , i was just trying to start a conversation . i think we all know that it does n't take a lot to set the guy off . abe : well , chad , i just spoke to the doctor , and you may have a concussion , but he does n't really think so , and there are no broken ribs . chad : looks like i got off easy , then , huh ? abe : well , there 's one more thing to take care of . do you plan on pressing charges ? abigail : abe , i 'm sure that there 's a reasonable explanation -- chad : no , look , i 'm sorry , abigail , but , no , this has happened between him and me one too many times . your boyfriend needs to learn a lesson . jordan : chad , please , i will talk to ben . chad : no , i 'm pressing charges . rafe : john . john : yeah . rafe : i 'll bet anything that chad dimera provoked this fight . john : why do you say that ? rafe : 'cause he 's done the same thing to me . john : yeah , did you beat him up ? rafe : well , no , but -- john : see , that 's the difference . sorry , kid , but you got a history . you 're not leaving me with any choice here , so why do n't you stand up , put your hands behind your back ? let 's go . [ handcuffs clinking ] john : let 's go . maggie : mad at yourself ? honey , why ? daniel : well , i 'm guessing because i never -- never knew melanie growing up , and i 've been determined since she came into my life just to protect her , you know , make sure no one hurt her again . maggie : i can understand why you feel that way , but , daniel , melanie 's an adult now . daniel : oh , i know that , but that does n't mean she does n't need her dad , does it ? maggie : no , but -- daniel : i just feel like i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm not doing enough , like i 'm letting her down . maggie : but you 're not . you never will . you 're supportive and loving of both of your children , but there will come a time , as a parent , when you 're gon na have to accept that your children will eventually need to find their own way and make their own choices . and that 's the best you can do , aside from loving them , of course , is to be there for them . daniel : like you are for me . maggie : yeah . brady : `` happy `` had become a word that i did n't use anymore . forgot what it meant . and then i look at you . it all comes back to me . i am very ... very happy . melanie : me too . so what are you doing tonight ? brady : i do n't have any plans . melanie : no plans . brady : none . melanie : that 's so crazy . brady : that 's an amazing coincidence , is n't it ? melanie : right , that 's -- brady : what do you want to do ? melanie : do you want to go on a date ? brady : i want to go on a date . theresa : brady looks good on paper , so everybody assumes that he 's a catch . anne : hot and rich -- works for me . theresa : oh , yeah ? anne : mm - hmm . theresa : then how come it never worked out for brady and anybody ? anne : i do n't know , honey . theresa : well , you know what ? that 's his problem , not mine , and this new guy , clint -- anne : oh , druggie , criminal clint ? theresa : there 's no way that he could be worse for me than brady . clint : hey , it 's clint . i 've been doing more than keeping my eye on the donovan broad . i 've made contact ... if you get what i mean . no . we do n't have a thing to worry about , and if something happens , i know exactly how to handle the situation . cole : you 're nothing like bev said . you 're actually kind of cool . paige : thank you , i guess . cole : i should probably apologize for that too , being so wrong about you , i mean . weird how you think you can know people , but you do n't at all . paige : yeah . i know exactly what you mean . eve : we may hate each other , jj , but we both care about paige . jj : what does that mean ? i asked you what you were gon na do about paige and cole . eve : i got to go . jj : you know what ? no , i need an answer here . this is a disaster waiting to happen , and the only one that can stop it is you . eve : if that boy is anything like you ... i can handle it . jj : what , are you gon na have sex with him too ? eve : [ scoffs ] | theresa had a reaction when she saw a baby . brady wanted to make sure she was okay . chad saw rafe and jordan kissing . she stopped them from kissing and reminded him that she 's with chad . daniel was n't happy about melanie and brady dating . eve asked brady what was wrong with theresa . rafe apologized for kissing jordan , but he thought she should n't be with chad . she did n't care what he thought . daniel was worried about brady being with melanie because of his addiction . jj got into a fight with cole when he saw him talking to paige . paige was furious with jj for interfering in her business . daniel continued to tell melanie about his reservations about her being with brady . melanie fought daniel on them being together until he caved . |

( kevin ) i can deduct this , right ? kayla : i 'm afraid we ca n't trust eve to do the right thing and back off jack . it 's not exactly surprising , though , is it ? jennifer : i 'm not gon na back off either , kayla . i am not going to let that soulless woman steal the man that i love and turn him into something that he 's not . jack : so ... you think a story about a man brought back from the brink of death by a mad scientist , only to find he has no memory at all , will sell ? eve : ha ha . mm ... i do n't think the reading public is ready for that yet . jack : especially since i do n't know the ending . i got it . i 'll go back to my first love -- apparently . i 'll go back to journalism . i 'm sure that if i go to adrienne or jennifer , they 'll give me a job back at `` the spectator . `` eve : no , no , no , that is a terrible idea . sonny : wow . ceo . brady : mm - hmm . sonny : you were n't kidding when you said you and vic were on speaking terms . brady : it literally just happened . sonny : well ... uncle vic would n't have made that decision lightly , so he must have a lot of faith in you . brady : [ light laugh ] yeah , i think it 's the ... just that i 'm the lesser of two evils , at this point . i think if i had n't accepted , victor actually would have been forced to hire that scum xander . leo : i might have agreed to tell you what i have on sonny if we slept together , but if i do n't remember us having sex , it is not fair . xander : hey , it 's not my fault that you got too drunk and you ca n't remember . i did my part . so now it 's time for you to do yours . so chop - chop . tell me what you know . leo : i 'm not telling you anything unless we have sex that i enjoy and remember right now . rex : mom , i swear , when i first got back here , she wanted to have nothing to do with me . kate : i wonder why . rex : but eric has been very helpful , persuaded her to hear me out . kate : so what 'd you do ? did you drop to your knees and beg her to forgive you again ? rex : yeah , pretty much . [ laughs ] no . we actually went to the pub and we were connecting again , having some drinks . we were throwing some darts , and i swear , mom , she was this close to forgiving me . kate : what happened ? rex : well , she said that she would give me another chance if i told her the truth . and she wanted to know who the other woman was . kate : you didn't . rex : i did . kate : ohh ... rex : she wanted the truth , so i gave it to her . kate : no ! you never tell the truth ! are you kidding me ? that 's a mistake -- when a woman says she wants to know the truth , she does n't really , especially if the other woman is her sister ! rex : why does everybody say -- chloe literally said the same thing to me . kate : well , she was right . for once . rex : all right , you know what ? no , i - i got ta go . i got ta go fix this . kate : where are you going ? rex : look , she 's not answering any of my calls or any of my texts , so i got ta go to the kiriakis place , and i have to fight for her . sarah : i am not stupid , eric . i am not some idiot naive girl who let xander use me . i used him . did you ever think about that ? and he gave me what i wanted . eric : what is it that you wanted ? tell me , what did you want ? ! were you trying to hurt rex ? were you trying to hurt me ? because you nailed it , sarah . the man is responsible for nicole 's death . holly does n't even have a mother because of him . you watched me grieve . you saved me from killing him . so when did you decide that it would be fun to just jump into bed with him ? sarah : maybe i was n't thinking about you at all . eric : you 're not who i thought you were . sarah : eric , wait ! eric : you know what , i ca n't even look at you right now ! [ soft , edgy music ] the noble tortilla was created kayla : i tried to convince jack that he had changed , that it was your love that changed him ... and how much you still love him . jennifer : kayla , he ca n't hear any of that right now because eve is in his ear . kayla : well , she 's using his shame to manipulate him . jennifer : oh , my gosh , kayla . kayla : he 's convinced that he 's not worthy of his own family . jennifer : gosh , he has to remember the man that i knew and loved . and i know that seth gave rolf 's formula to the fda , but there has to be a way to help jack get his memory back . kayla : maybe there is . but it 's a long shot . jack : what 's wrong with working at the paper i once owned ? eve : `` the spectator `` ? no , no , no , no , no , jack . i mean , as great as it was , when you were working there -- it 's just it 's a local rag now . i mean , it 's , uh , it 's birdcage stuff since adrienne and jennifer took over . truly , i mean , you deserve better than that , jack . you need to be someplace where you can really shine . jack : i -- i - it 's been a few years , you know -- i 'm a little rusty . i think `` the spectator `` would be a good fit . eve : no , it would not be a good fit . i wouldn't . they 're holding the paper together with paper clips and chewing gum . no , no . and even if they were to ask you to come back and work for that awful rag , i mean , it 's gon na tank -- it really is . and then where are you gon na be ? you 're gon na be without a job after a couple of months . jack : but a paycheck for a couple of months is better than no paycheck at all . eve : jack , jack , it is a good thing that you have me , because i know how capable you are , and you do not need to be grubbing for a paycheck . because i see the big picture , and i know exactly what it looks like . kate : don't ... open that door . rex : i have to get sarah back . kate : not this way , you do n't , okay ? you need to wait this out . you have to give her a chance to cool down , and if you love her , you have to give her time to process the fact that you were stupid enough to sleep with her sister and make a baby with your ex - girlfriend . rex : oh , god , you know ... i hear that , and i 'm just such an ass . kate : yes , you are . but you 're my son , and i love you ... and i want you to be happy . honey , you have to be patient . rex : [ sighs ] i will , i will , but i 'm not giving up . i love sarah , and i 'm not gon na lose her . sarah : i was angry with rex , all right ? i had too much to drink , and xander was there , but i did n't sleep with him to hurt you . eric : you sure about that ? sarah : yes ! eric : yeah ? because when you were angry at rex , your idea of payback was to climb into bed with me . but when you left my apartment and you were just as angry because i turned you down , you slept with the man that i hate . sounds like payback to me . am i right ? well , congratulations .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : look , morgan , i get where you 're coming from , but it 's not that simple . i know you 're all probably thinking that i put you into this mess , so who am i to start lecturing . morgan : you got that right . chelsea : yeah , well , i would probably feel the same way if i were in your shoes . but i 'm trying to look at this realistically . ashley : so , what 's your plan ? chelsea : honestly , i do n't have one . but i do know that the cops are already suspicious of us . and i also know that they know that this was the last place that ford was before he disappeared . morgan : go on . chelsea : okay . they already found the contact lens . you can bet they 're gon na find other evidence . look , we made a decision in the heat of the moment that , at the time , we thought was right . but let 's face it , we are not master criminals . it 's only a matter of time before they start finding other stuff and the truth comes out . and until then , the police are just gon na keep pressuring us and pressuring us until one of us cracks . carmen : now i 'm really scared because you 're beginning to make sense . chelsea : look , you guys can all hate me and even kick me out of the sorority if you want , but i just want you all to take a moment to really look at this and consider our options and what 's best for us . morgan : what exactly are you suggesting ? chelsea : i think that we should handle this the way we handle everything -- by taking a vote , the majority rules . [ scene_break ] hope : i wish we could do more to find claire . bo : crystal wants what 's best for her . otherwise she would n't have gotten that medicine . we found john . we 'll find claire . hope : from your mouth to god 's ears . i wonder who my new partner will be . bo : new partner ? had n't considered that . hope : do i hear a little jealousy , possibly ? oh , my god ! beauregard brady , you are . you 're jealous . bo : yeah , i suppose in a way i ... i am kind of jealous , but not in a romantic way . hope : well , i would hope not . bo : i like seeing your brain work , you know . you 're cute when you 're putting the pieces of the puzzle together . my little detective . hope : little detective ? do n't patronize me . bo : i 'm not . i 'm totally serious . hope : i 'll still be around to brainstorm with . bo : i know . but it wo n't be the same . and it should n't be . you 'll be working your own cases . your head will be in sync with somebody else 's . hope : are you all right with this ? bo : yeah . fine . you 're great at what you do . you should get back to work . it 'll just be a big change , that 's all . hope : i think this family has proven that we can handle change . bo : yeah . so , you 're really gon na do this ? hope : i 'm really gon na do this . bo : okay . then i got your back . come here . hope : thank you .

[ scene_break ] morgan : oh , hell no . a vote ? this is not a reality show . we 're talking about murder charges . chelsea : charges that we can lessen if we come forward and tell the truth . do n't tell me that any of you were able to go home and enjoy the holidays without thinking about decker once . i know you all better than that . carmen : well , yeah , i thought about it . ashley : all i thought is he 's too evil to live . cordy : will this vote be a secret ballot ? chelsea : it 'll be just like our traditional vote . it 'll be really simple , all right ? we 'll use playing cards . each of us will get one , and we 'll lay it on the coffee table . face up means that we hold our heads up high and we tell the truth . and face down means that we say nothing . morgan , you can pick first .

nicole : no one will know that you came . now , tell me ... who are you and what do you have on serena mason ? cole : i should go . we 're , uh , okay , right ? paige : you mean do i accept your apology ? cole : yeah . paige : what you did , cole , was really not cool , but do n't worry . i 've moved on . i 've been hurt way worse since then . serena : well , you probably would have thought that i would have done this sooner considering the circumstances . daniel : done ? serena : after i got back to my hotel last night , i did some internet research on nicole . daniel : did you ? serena : considering the look on your face , i do n't need to tell you what i found . ted : my name is ted carpenter . no , really . i used to work with serena as her partner . nicole : a business partner ? ted : and in multiple senses of the word . nicole : oh . i see . ted : as cowriters and researchers , we shared everything , everything except ... nicole : except what ? ted : credit for our work , which she stole and which , in our business , means everything . nicole : that is true . ted : and even worse ... nicole : there 's worse ? ted : ... my reputation was gutted . been struggling to recover to this day . nicole : so you 're saying , in short , serena 's not a very nice person . ted : i 'm saying she 's a bitch on wheels . cole : you 're taking eastern civ ?

after jj gave up everything fun in life for you , now he has to give up you , because all of a sudden , you 're done , and now you 're pulling this complete 360 ? i mean , 180 . i do n't get it . paige : wait a minute . you do n't get it ?

victor : i knew it . you 're here to do that yokel 's bidding . what does he want ? kate : i am no one 's errand girl , victor . clyde does n't even know i 'm here . victor : but you 're still here on his behalf . why ? kate : because i know you both . victor : [ chuckles ] indeed . kate : okay , at the club -- the new club last night , i picked up a very unsettling vibe . victor : should i call you celeste ? kate : i 've been nosing around myself . and i 've heard that a clash of the titans is imminent . victor : there 's only one titan in this town . if your friend wants to start a dynasty , he should stick to ducks . kate : talking is more his speed , not yours . at least make this over something glamorous , victor . victor : some things are best left alone , kate . kate : i do n't want to see it get ugly for either one of you . victor : oh , kate . it 's gone way , way , way past ugly . eric : of course it would be a lot easier if nicole lived in a different city ... preferably another continent . i mean , last night was uncomfortable , to say the least . marlena : uncomfortable for you or serena ? eric : for both of us . i mean , we ended the evening kind of abruptly . she did n't even want me to walk her home . i mean , things are already awkward enough . marlena : awkward how ? eric : i do n't know . marlena : well ... maybe it 's because serena 's life has n't changed nearly as much as yours has since you met . eric : what , since i 've been a priest , not a priest ? since i almost ran off and eloped with a sociopath ? marlena : mm - hmm . eric : mom , there 's a lot of things i have to work through . marlena : yeah , of course . nicole making things difficult does n't help your stress level , does it ? eric : mom , it 's been a really , really long time since i 've had a healthy , normal relationship . i mean , what if ... marlena : what ? what if what ? eric : what if serena loses her patience , and i lose her ? what if i never have the chance to find out if something 's really there ? serena : i 'm sorry , but you seem like a nice , reasonable guy , but you 're pursuing a relationship with a person who faked a pregnancy and stole eric 's sister 's baby , not to mention what she did to jennifer . daniel : okay , i do n't need a recap of nicole 's lowlights . serena : and i com -- i completely understand that you still care for her , in spite of the despicable things she 's done . eric cared for her so much . look how that turned out . daniel : okay , look , uh , i 'm not interested in a conversation that 's all about trashing nicole . serena : please , do n't get angry . that -- i 'm not trying to trash nicole . that 's not what i wanted to speak to you about , but i do want you to know what i intend to do about her . ted : that is a project that serena and i collaborated on . behold the cover page -- my name and serena 's . nicole : i saw this article when i was doing research on serena online . your byline was mia . ted : exactly . just google me . you 'll see that i have dozens of credits , all before this paper . i have n't worked since . nicole : why not ? ted : i staked my whole reputation on this project . all right , i did reams of research . and serena stole everything . decades worth of work down the drain . nicole : why did n't you let everyone know what happened ? ted : yeah , i tried . but these were her grants , so my claims were essentially dismissed . nicole : and you did n't see it coming ? ted : nah , i was too blind to be objective . one day serena 's telling me she loves me , and the next , i 'm out on the street . nicole : that royally sucks . ted : i could n't have said it better . please tell me you 're going to help me . nicole : ted , i would love to help you . but i 'm gon na need a little bit more than just a piece of paper with your name on it . ted : if i had more , i would have been able to clear this up years ago . nicole : okay , but you -- you must have drafts or electronic files with dates on it or something . ted : no , no , no . serena had been plotting this for a long time . from the beginning , she insisted that we put everything on her computer . i have some email correspondence , but the real proof you need is on her own computer . if you can gain access to that , you 'll have the proof in hand . well ? nicole : i 'm gon na have to think this through carefully , and i 'll get back to you . ted : that 's the best you can do ? nicole : well , life is busy at the moment . in fact , i 'm afraid i have to go . so . if you do n't mind ... ted : yeah , just do n't take too long , 'cause if serena so much suspects that you 're digging for dirt , first thing she 'll do is destroy the evidence . daniel : so what are you going to do to nicole ? serena : i did n't say i was going to do anything to nicole . i said that i was going to do something about her . daniel : hmm . i 'm listening . serena : i 'm not going to let her run me out of salem . i like it here . there 's eric and melanie ... and you . daniel : me ? serena : [ chuckles ] melanie always had such great things to say about her dad , and now i know why . i want us to be on good terms . so i do n't talk to you about nicole , and you do n't talk to me about nicole . daniel : we 'll compartmentalize ? serena : exactly . i 'm not one to run from an awkward situation . and i get the feeling you do n't either . so ... friends ? daniel : well , as long as you know where i stand .
