[ scene_break ] caroline : i - i did it . i did it . i emptied the grease traps , and i cleaned the fryers . that 's the first time since nick left . who died ? roman : nobody died , ma . remember , it 's arianna 's christening today . caroline : [ sighs ] oh .

[ phone beeps ] [ phone beeps ] stefan : well , let 's see which of us is right about that . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] jennifer : you know , you never did tell me how it went when you brought charlotte to see chad . abigail : uh ... when i got there , um ... stefan was at chad 's house . jennifer : he was living there ? with chad ? abigail : yes . for now . it 's temporary , but it 's -- it 's complicated . jennifer : yeah , it sounds complicated . but how are you doing with chad ? i mean ... you still love him , right , abigail ? abigail : of course i still love him . i 'm always gon na love him . i just ... you know , i want peace in my life . and i want stability for my kids . and i do n't know if i 'm ever gon na get that with chad . you know , especially now that he 's in this feud with his brother . chad : `` the board of dimera enterprises has decided to keep you on as ceo effective immediately . `` i guess i do n't have to read any further . stefan : no , no . congra -- congratulations . you must 've made a very compelling case . chad : you 're taking this in stride . you 're not flipping the chess board or beating your chest . stefan : no . [ stammers ] i think it 's best to adopt a civil tone . chad : that 's big of you . stefan : yeah , i mean , especially if -- if we 're gon na be working together . chad : excuse me ? stefan : you might want to read the rest of this . chad : `` the board has decided that , in the interest of stability , going forward , you will be '' -- stefan : `` sharing the position with your brother . `` chad : what does it say ? stefan : looks like the board has decided to make us co - ceos . gabi : he was probably in a hurry when he was leaving . he 'll probably call me when he gets there . eli : i 'm sure he will . gabi : my brother loves me , despite the mistakes i 've made . eli : mistakes ? gabi : yeah . eli : is that what you call drugging abigail , making everyone think she 's crazy ; switching the paternity test results ? gabi : i am well aware of what happened . thank you , eli . eli : not to mention what you did to my grandma . gabi : i do n't care what julie says ; i did not push that old bat down the stairs . eli : you 're not helping your case . [ phone beeps ] gabi : oh , no , no . i am not gon na let him take it . can you tell hope to have rafe call me ? ted : you just saw me with kate , did you ? hope : that 's what i said . right here , in the square , not trying to hide it . ted : sorry ; i did n't see you standing there . hope : yeah . i need to go . ted : oh , hey , hope . hope : what is it ? ted : just -- i was wondering why it bothered you . hope : excuse me ? ted : you seemed annoyed by what you saw . do you have a problem with me talking to kate ? so there you are with your depression hope : it 's none of my business who you talk to . but you did tell me that kate was the one who put stefan up to kidnapping you . ted : oh , yeah . she personally held me at gunpoint and stefan 's goons arrived and dragged me off . hope : [ chuckles ] then it should be pretty clear why i 'd be just a ... little confused by seeing the two of you together . ted : kate and i have a relationship . it 's very complicated . hope : mm - hmm . ted : kate and i started as business associates , but ... soon we became lovers . abigail : chad and stefan are just locked in this duel while they 're waiting for the board to make its decision . jennifer : right , and meanwhile , they 're both living in the mansion ? abigail : yeah . but i 've made it very clear to chad that i do not want either of the kids there under the same roof as stefan . jennifer : yeah , and what did he say about that ? abigail : well , he understood . jennifer : but he 's not willing to move out . abigail : no , not if it means handing the house over to his brother . i do n't think he 's ever gon na back down from this fight , even if it costs him me and the kids . chad : so how did you pull this one off ? dirt on one of the board members ? stefan : well , why is it so difficult to believe that they might want me in this job ? chad : they want both of us in this job . stefan : yeah , well , maybe they think that as co - ceos we can , you know , check each other 's behavior , projecting an image of unity . chad : there 's nothing united about this family . stefan : because you never gave me a chance , chad . i tried reaching out a hand to you long ago , and you slapped it away . chad : if you 're so unhappy with the way you 've been treated , why do n't you walk away ? they 're not forcing you to stay here . stefan : you think i 'm gon na give up just like that ? chad : why not just crawl under whatever rock vivian found you under ? go back to being sam maitlin . that 's a hell of an identity . stefan : you 'd certainly love that , would n't you ? chad : more than you know . i mean , what 's keeping you here ? there 's nothing but misery . you lost the woman you loved ; you lost your child . why not get away from all that pain ? walk away . haley : you look hungry . jj : i definitely worked up an appetite trying to keep my apartment from burning down . haley : oh , do n't be so dramatic . it was just a little smoke from the oil . jj : mm - hmm . haley : you act like i lit your couch on fire . jj : oh , excuse me if i do n't want to suffer third - degree burns just to get some chicken with linguine aioli . haley : at least i 'd know how to treat it . in fact , just today , i took care of a very handsome young guy who got burned in the kitchen . jj : excuse me . did n't anyone ever teach you that it 's bad manners to talk about other guys at the dinner table ? haley : sorry . i meant to say that i took care of a very not so good - looking at all guy for a kitchen burn . jj : yeah , you 're not supposed to notice when your patients are good - looking anyway . haley : it was pretty obvious . but he 's dr . johnson 's stepson . i would never go there . jj : you mean tripp ? haley : you know him ? jj : yeah , he 's my cousin . his dad and my dad are brothers . and for the record , i 'm much better looking than he is . claire : so tell me about this cute nurse who treated you . tripp : not much to tell . her name is haley and she 's new at the hospital . claire : hmm . you interested in her ? tripp : interested ? claire : well , yeah . you said she was attractive . so ... you 're gon na -- you gon na get her number or something ? tripp : [ chuckles ] i mean , well , she was treating my burn , but i guess now that you mention it , i could just probably grab it from kayla . claire : okay . so you 're gon na ask her out . tripp : i mean , now that ciara 's out of town , you know , it might be good that i start thinking about moving on . what , you do n't agree ? claire : [ laughs ] no , no . of course i agree . i just , uh ... i thought that if you were going to move on , that it would be with me . claire : tripp , i thought we were getting close . and i feel such a connection to you . and , you know , trust me . i know i 've tried to force that in the past , but , you know , lately i 've just been letting things happen . and it just feels right . i do n't know . maybe it 's just me . tripp : no . no , it 's not just you . claire : okay , well , i can tell you 're holding back . why ? tripp : you 've been a great friend to me , claire . but with you and i living here and ciara living here , too , i mean , it could get really messy . claire : oh , come on , tripp . really ? we do n't even know if ciara 's coming back . what if she falls in love with south africa and what if she decides to stay there with theo ? hmm ? tripp : i guess that 's possible . claire : look , i know i 'm talking about taking a chance , but i mean , is n't that what life is about ? listen , i think we could have something really good , tripp . we ca n't let ciara stand in our way . jj : best linguine aioli i 've ever had . haley : is it the only linguine aioli you 've ever had ? jj : maybe . it 's still pretty damn good . haley : i 'll take the compliment . jj : the italians do know their food . haley : the italians got pasta from the chinese . and i got all my skills from my mom . jj : you know , i , uh ... i do n't know anything about your family . tell me about your mom . haley : she was a mom . not much more to say . i mean , certainly not compared to your dad 's story . jj : yeah . haley : so you guys met up for beer ? you said you guys connected ? jj : [ sighs ] yeah , we -- we did . but it was -- it 's confusing . it 's like connecting with a stranger . haley : what 'd you guys talk about ? jj : well , he did mention that he was thinking about running for mayor of salem . haley : mayor ? jj : yeah . haley : that 's ambitious . jj : yeah , he always was . but , um ... our talk was -- our talk was good , mostly . haley : mostly ? jj : yeah . it got a little awkward when we started talking about our love lives . haley : oh , yeah ? why ? abigail : i may never be able to forgive gabi , but i did make a conscious decision to end the feud between us . you know , because i did n't want that resentment to take over my life . and i realize that i have too much to lose . jennifer : and that 's -- you 're afraid chad is doing that with stefan . abigail : it 's all he thinks about . jennifer : well , i kind of ca n't blame him , sweetie . i mean , stefan is the main reason that the two of you are n't together . abigail : yeah , but chad 's a dimera . jennifer : yes . and revenge and dimera just goes hand in hand . abigail : i mean , he 's tried to resist that legacy , but stefan just opens up all those old wounds . and i 'm afraid if he goes down that path again , he 's not gon na be able to turn back . chad : you have nothing left here . stefan : except dimera enterprises . chad : it 's just a company . stefan : our family company . chad : you 're not really a part of the family anyway . father 's gone ; those of us that are left want nothing to do with you . stefan : [ chuckles ] that -- that i believe . chad : why stick around and bang your head against the wall ; surround yourself with people who really do n't like you ? even if you do take control of the company , it 'll just be an empty victory . gabi : it 's okay , harold , you do n't need to announce me . what the hell ? chad : what are you doing here , gabi ? gabi : well , i heard about the board 's decision . so what does that mean for me ? hope : you and kate ... i do n't know . i just , i -- do n't see the two of you together . that 's all . ted : well , you 'd be surprised . kate and i have quite a bit in common . hope : yeah , i just -- i find it -- i find it a bit curious that you would continue sleeping with someone who had you kidnapped . ted : kate and i are not sleeping together anymore . what you saw was two people talking . kate made it very clear that she and i are through . hope : oh . what ? ted : i do n't know . to me , you seem a little bit relieved ? hope : i am . i 'm relieved that you and kate are n't together anymore . ted : really ... hope : yeah , she 's dangerous . ted : i appreciate your concern . but for a split second , i thought -- i thought you might be jealous . hope : you do have a sense of humor . good to know . i have no reason to be jealous of kate or any other woman you may try to work your charms on , counselor . ted : okay . glad to hear it . hope : i 'm a happily married woman , to an amazing man . ted : i have n't forgotten that you 're married . i would have to take your word on the `` happily `` part . it 's getting late . i 'm sure your amazing husband is waiting for you at home . hope : yeah , actually , he 's out of -- out of the country . ted : well , in that case , would you like to have dinner with me tonight ? chad : my position has n't changed . i still want nothing to do with you or gabi chic . so you can keep your company . stefan : [ chuckles ] only that 's not a decision you can make , chad , without my approval . chad : you want to hold onto it ? stefan : look , the gabi chic brand is a valuable asset for dimera enterprises . i have big plans for it . gabi : oh , yeah , i know about your plans . you want to destroy it piece by piece . stefan : what i decide to do with a company that i own is none of your business . gabi : gabi chic is my life 's work . andre , he tried to steal it , and you know what happened to him . stefan : gabi , save the empty threats . abigail killed andre , not you . gabi : yeah , but you made sure i went to prison for that crime anyway . seems like i 'm owed a free murder . chad : you should probably leave , gabi . gabi : do n't tell me what to do , chad . the two of you , you stand here like you 're gods , like you 've got all this power . well , someone that used to love me told me just now that i -- i 'm not the person i used to be . well , that 's good . see , because this new person she 's not gon na be pushed around by you or any other dimera . abigail : it 's just so hard to say whether or not i 'm ever gon na be able to really forgive chad . you know , i would need to know that he 's really , truly trustworthy , and he would need to trust me again . and ultimately , i 'd just need to know that -- that he 's back to being that man that i first fell in love with . jennifer : i know the feeling . abigail : you miss dad ? i mean , real dad . jennifer : yeah . almost as much as when he was gone . abigail : have they made any progress with getting his memory back ? jennifer : kayla came by earlier , and it does n't look like we 're gon na be able to get our hands on dr . rolf 's serum . abigail : it 's gone ? jennifer : the serum is tied up with the fda , and then rolf 's diary with the original formula has been misplaced . abigail : i still believe in dad . i do . i think that that man is still there inside him . and we all just have to work together to figure out a way to bring him back . jj : [ sighs , scoffs ] my dating history is ... it 's complicated . haley : uh - oh . what does that mean ? jj : let 's just -- let 's just -- let 's just say i 've made some mistakes . but i 've grown up a lot . and i 've learned from them . haley : come on . do n't -- do n't be all coy with me now . share . just one name . one story . and i promise if you give me a good one , i wo n't bug you for any more . jj : one name ... haley : the worst one . the biggest mistake you ever made . jj : okay , fine . i slept with eve donovan . haley : wait . are you talking about that woman from -- that lady from new year 's eve ? jj : yeah . haley : you slept with that witch ? jj : yeah . haley : but now she 's involved with your dad . jj : yep . haley : [ scoffs ] this -- this is good . no wonder you said your love life was an awkward topic with your dad . jj : yeah , it 's ... not something i 'm proud of . haley : well , i mean , eve is a milf . she is a mom , right ? jj : yeah . her -- her daughter was my girlfriend . once - daily toujeo ® helps you control your blood sugar haley : wait . wait , okay . so you -- you slept with your girlfriend 's mom ... who 's now sleeping with your dad . jj : look , i know it sounds -- it sounds really -- really shady when you put it like that . haley : is there a less shady way to put it ? jj : like i said , it 's not something i 'm proud of . haley : well , i 'm guessing that was the end of your relationship . jj : yeah . haley : so , um ... where 's her daughter now ? jj : [ sighs ] paige is ... she 's dead . she was -- she was -- she was killed not long after we broke up . haley : seriously ? i -- i am so sorry . i was -- jj : no , it 's fine . haley : i was making jokes and -- jj : no , it 's okay . it 's okay . you did n't know . haley : that is so awful . how did it ... i mean ... jj : i don't ... i do n't really want to talk about how she died . i just -- i like to remember her life instead . haley : of course . so ... what was she like ? how 'd you guys meet ? jj : we met when she -- she found my missing wallet . she was a really good person . excellent musician , too . she actually , uh , she pushed me into pursuing the guitar . haley : you play ? i thought that was just a prop to make you look cool for the ladies . jj : did it work ? haley : i do n't know . why do n't you play for me , and i 'll let you know ? gabi : i know you did n't offer gabi chic to me out of the kindness of your heart . chad : i did it for ari . and because i want you out of my life . gabi : all right , so find a way around stefan . get gabi chic away from him . chad : believe me , this is n't the arrangement that i wanted either . i wanted to cement my place as ceo and get rid of stefan for good , but the board had other plans . gabi : so , what , you 're gon na let him destroy the business i built with my hands ? chad : honestly , i have more important things to worry about . stefan : it 's a tough situation you 're in there , gabi . i mean , you -- you almost got gabi chic back . instead , now you 're forced to stand by and watch helplessly as i fly it nose - first straight into the ground . gabi : i 'm never gon na let that happen . stefan : well , there 's really nothing you can do to stop me . there is one other option , though . i 'm not sure if chad mentioned it to you . gabi : what are you talking about ? stefan : well , chad and i are going to be butting heads over dimera for quite some time . but you 're welcome to quit any time you like . hope : i 'm tired , and i have a stack of paperwork waiting for me at home . and i also want to facetime with my daughter in south africa before bed -- oh , yeah , all that laundry i have to catch up on . ted : hope , one excuse would 've sufficed . if you do n't want to come to dinner with me tonight , just say so . hope : i do n't want to come to dinner with you tonight . ted : fair enough . but i just wanted to buy you a meal to thank you for protecting me from stefan dimera . hope : i was just doing my job , ted . ted : no . you went above and beyond . i would not be standing here today if it were n't for you . hope : you 're welcome . ted : and i 'm truly sorry i could n't get the goods on ben weston . which is why i want to try to take you out . that way , i could repay your kindness . hope : [ sighs ] i 'm busy . i really have a lot of work to do . and that laundry . ted : come on , hope . you could see that my fragile ego could not bear taking another blow tonight . please . hope : let 's go to my dad 's restaurant , doug 's place . have you heard of it ? ted : no . whatever you want . claire : [ laughs ] i can not believe that ciara is keeping us from having a relationship . wow . are you really still that hung up on her ? tripp : no . no , no , no . ciara and i had our chance . it did n't work out . claire : oh , tripp , you gave her so many chances . but she moved on , first with ben , and now with theo . and we 're here . tripp : we 're here ... claire : tripp , i 've -- i 've felt a spark between us from the moment i met you . there were so many times where i was just so sure it was gon na happen for us . but it never did , because , you know , the timing was never right . tripp : no , it wasn't . claire : we never really got a chance to see what we could be together . tripp : now , what if it does n't work out ? what if it 's a disaster and we end up hating each other ? claire : [ chuckles ] okay , well , what if it 's amazing and it changes our lives ? tripp , it 's kind of like writing a song . you never really know if it 's gon na work until you put together the words ... and the music . jj : i 'd rather not play right now . haley : well , i do n't care what you want to do . i want to hear you play . come on . what are you afraid of ? jj : nothing . well , i mean , clowns . i 'm terrified of clowns . haley : stop making excuses and play . jj : [ laughs ] ted : so tell me again -- again , why rafe left the country without you . hope : he said he needed to be there for someone who was going through a tough time . ted : you know , in my line of work , you get really good at knowing when someone is not being forthcoming . hope : mine , too , counselor . ted : well , i can see there is a lot more going on with rafe 's absence that you 're telling . hope : yeah , well , i 'm just telling you what he told me . ted : and yet you seem very unhappy with his decision to leave without you . okay . okay , i wo n't push . hope : the person in question is sami 's son . ted : sami brady ? rafe 's ex - wife . hope : yeah . the one and only . ted : now i understand . so ... he left you to go help his ex . are n't you worried that something will happen between them ? i mean , she could try to -- try to seduce him again . right ? i do n't get it . i do n't see how any man could cheat on a woman like you . i will never understand . stefan : i 'm trying to help you . you 've had a terrible year . do n't you think it 's time to just pack it in ? gabi : you really are a sad excuse for a human being . stefan : like you have any ground to stand on after what you did to me . gabi : oh , what i did to you ? [ sighs ] no . no , you have no idea what i 'm capable of , you son of a bitch . i am -- i 'm just getting started . i 'm never leaving gabi chic . actually , i 'm gon na use it as an opportunity to make your life a living hell . stefan : okay . well , since i 'm only co - ceo , it means i 'll have plenty of time to do the same to you . [ knock at door ] abigail : [ clears throat ] hi . chad : hey , hey , sorry for the late visit . abigail : it 's fine , but the kids are asleep . chad : [ indistinct speech ] abigail : yeah . chad : um ... i wanted to give you the news in person . abigail : the board made its decision ? chad : yeah , they named stefan and i co - ceos . abigail : co - ceo ? so that means that he 's gon na continue to live in the house ? chad : for now . abigail : okay , then i 'm -- i 'm still gon na have to insist that if you want to see the kids , you have to come here . because i 'm not gon na have them under the same roof as stefan . chad : i know how hard it is for you to be around him , which is why i made the decision that i -- that i made . i 'm gon na resign . -ah , the old crew !

eugenia : poor mr. black , coming down with the flu on top of everything that he 's been through . well , lucky for him he has a friend like kate to help him through it . kate : ah , eugenia . come in . thank you so much for rushing over here . eugenia : no problem . what 's up ? kate : sami and lucas 's wedding -- it 's coming up very quickly , and you and i still have a lot to do . eugenia : i ca n't believe that st. luke 's is actually being repaired this quickly . i mean , between shawn brady crashing his motorcycle through the stained - glass window , to the fire that started when his motorcycle 's gas tank exploded , i just figured that sami and lucas 's big church wedding would have to be postponed for at least a year . kate : no , no , no , because the congregation and the construction team wan na see everything fixed as soon as possible , and they 're right on schedule , which means stopping the wedding is up to you and me . eugenia : oh , those are beautiful . are those a get well present for mr. black ? kate : no , they 're not . actually , this is a sample centerpiece for sami 's reception . i did all the legwork . all she has to do is sign off on it . now are n't i just the perfect mother - in - law - to - be ? eugenia : it would be hard for anyone to say that you 're not . kate : well , sami and lucas have to believe i 'm sincere , you know ? meanwhile , brandon 's going to get the e - mail i sent on lexie 's pda , and soon he 'll be rushing back to the side of his ailing father . and once again , sami -- sami dear is going to be torn between two lovers . eugenia : feeling like a fool . eugenia : these are n't for your wedding , sami . they 're for your funeral .

[ knock at door ] nurse : sorry to barge in , but you 've been holding your calls . jennifer : [ stammers ] what do you need ? what is it ? nurse : the hospital administrator wants to see you right away . jennifer : i am sorry . i 'm right in the middle of some -- chloe : you know what ? i got to pick up parker from daniel anyway , but please , just think about what i said . [ door shuts ] [ scene_break ] eric : nicole . nicole : hi . [ sighs ] eric : hello . nicole : um ... eric : [ sighs ] nicole : i brought you your mail . was this getting uncomfortable ? eric : i was actually looking for that . i threw it at brady today . nicole : you ... oh . um , well ... is it about a family matter that does n't concern me ? or can i ask if you were fighting about kristen ? eric : i asked them both to resign from the board . i just could n't tolerate them using the church and the building fund to make their relationship look respectable . nicole : how did brady feel about that ? eric : uh ... [ sighs ] he did n't want to hear a negative word about her . nicole : and there are so many negative things to say . eric : yeah , well , he said he 's -- that she 's changed , in love . nicole : he really said that ? eric : he 's getting played . kristen as much as admitted it to john . i do n't know what it 's gon na do to him when he finally realizes that . and between him and the problems it 's causing my mom and john , i do n't understand how one woman could tear a family apart . [ scene_break ] john : [ inhales forcefully ] both : hey . john : just ran into kristen . you know , the girl was reveling in the fact that i 'm getting ready to head out of town and things are n't going so well between marlena and me . brady : you going out of town ? john : seems like a good time to take some meetings with the european offices . brady : so you 'll be back . john : mm , eventually . once i figure out how i 'm gon na get through to you about kristen . brady : [ sighs ] then you 're gon na be gone a long time , dad . you know , until ... until you accept the fact that kristen 's a part of my life , maybe you should just not come home . at least not for my sake . [ scene_break ] kristen : it was absolutely fantastic , father . i mean , marlena was practically begging john not to go . stefano : so ... john has lost his wife and his son because of you ? kristen : well , yes , of course . and now john 's life will never be the same . stefano : all right , well , look , since you have your victory , now it 's time for you to dump brady black . kristen : uh ... actually , i do n't think i 'm going to do that . [ scene_break ] eric : brady 's not the man you knew . and john , he 's leaving town for a while . nicole : what ? why ? because of this ? what about your mom ? eric : i think it 's ... pretty accurate to say that they are separating . nicole : wait a minute . i mean , they 're the world 's most devoted couple . eric : they were . nicole : and this is all because of kristen ? eric : that 's what my mom says . nicole : so it sounds like the only way to get your mom and john and brady back together is if kristen is out of the picture . eric : nicole . what are you thinking about ? nicole : causes that can be won . well , time for my break . do n't give up hope . eric : i 've been praying a lot . maybe i 'll get a divine inspiration . nicole : good idea . all right , you do your thing and i 'll do mine . you 're still helping people who help themselves , right ? 'cause i 'm counting on that . [ scene_break ] stefano : you got what you want , so it 's time to give him his walking papers , huh ? kristen : i 'm not sure i have what i want . stefano : you said that john has left marlena . kristen : yeah , but if i keep seeing brady , then i can keep sticking it to john and marlena . stefano : hah . yeah , if that 's all there is to it . kristen : i know exactly what i 'm doing , okay ? [ scene_break ] [ soft overlapping chattering ] brady : hi . marlena : [ sighs ] hi . brady : i ran into dad . marlena : well , then you know . brady : about him ... going to europe ? marlena : for an indefinite period of time . brady : eric also ... told me that you and dad have been having problems , and it 's because of me . and i really wanted to say that i 'm sorry about that . marlena : it 's not your fault . it 's my fault . brady : why ? what did you do ? [ scene_break ] jennifer : if i tell you something , will you , uh ... promise not to repeat it ? especially to daniel ? maggie : i promise . jennifer : chloe came to see me this morning . maggie : oh , yeah ? jennifer : to talk to me about what i was telling you yesterday . maggie : yeah , um , daniel was upset with you because he thought that you had acted on something that you had n't shared with him . jennifer : right . maggie : ah . jennifer : and after i left you , he came to see me , and he apologized , and ... he said he knew that i would never do what he accused me of , so we did n't really talk about it . maggie : hmm . but you said the information was about chloe . jennifer : yeah , and a horrible incident that happened in her past . maggie : one that daniel did n't know about ? jennifer : no , but he knows now . and he thought that i was gon na use this information against chloe without telling him . maggie : how did he get that idea ? jennifer : i just think that chloe is trying to make me look really bad right now . maggie : can you tell me what this incident is ? jennifer : no , that would n't be right . but i can tell you why she 's using it to get at me . maggie : i love how ethical you are . but that 's not making things easy . jennifer : aunt maggie , i just want to tell you , when chloe came to see me this morning , it was very clear to me that she still loves daniel . and i believe she will do anything to get me out of the way so that she can have him back . [ scene_break ] daniel : well , he cried for a little while , when i tried to get him down for a nap . chloe : oh , i do n't think he 's gon na be taking two naps a day for much longer . daniel : yeah , well , you know , maggie was here , so she calmed him down , but then he took a nap for about , i think , an hour . chloe : hmm . daniel : yeah , then he cried when he woke up , but i just -- i think it 's because he 's just ... was n't in his normal place . chloe : yeah , well , seems like he 's doing fine now . right , parker ? having fun ? you playing ? daniel : yeah , well , i was able to calm him down this time . sort of comfort him , you know ? chloe : aw , he 's gon na learn to love this place . he 'll have as many happy memories here as i do . oh , my gosh . daniel : what ? chloe : i have the best idea . [ scene_break ] maggie : chloe might as well save her energy . because she 's never gon na replace you in daniel 's eyes . jennifer : aunt maggie , daniel and i are just finding our way back to each other again , and chloe has given him what he wants most in this world , a child that he can raise . maggie : okay , so maybe she has . but do you think that 's gon na make him fall in love with her ? mm - mm . remember , i saw what happened with them , and she blew it . jennifer : and you know what ? she knows that . but she still thinks she has another chance . maggie : [ grunts ] i know . victor thinks so too . [ raps on desk ] so maybe ... the two of us should keep a very close eye on miss chloe . [ scene_break ] chloe : yeah , you want to spend as much time with parker as possible , and he needs the time with you . he also needs to be settled in one place . why should n't that place be here ? daniel : are you kidding ? chloe : yeah , i mean , you could tuck him in at night , get him up in the morning . you two would bond in no time . daniel : that would be -- that would be amazing . you think we could work it out ? chloe : sure , it 's easy . parker and i could move in here today . [ scene_break ] marlena : i do n't want to go into specifics . i do n't like talking about the foolish decisions that i 've made because of kristen . i think you 'll feel the same way one day . brady : do n't start with that . i 've had enough of it today . marlena : i ca n't stop . i think you and i ... are going to end up paying a terrible price . [ scene_break ] john : [ chuckles ] eric : you sure i ca n't talk you out of this ? john : uh , i need this time away . i 'll be back . eric : okay . john : do me a favor ? eric : name it . john : you watch out for your mom . and keep trying to get through to brady . eric : i 'll do my best . he 'll be in my prayers . john : well , unfortunately , i think it is gon na take more than prayers to stop kristen . she really is the devil . [ scene_break ] kristen : so please , father , honestly , you do n't have to worry about me . stefano : i hope not . kristen : absolutely not . i 'm going to ruin john and marlena 's lives just like they ruined mine . that 's all there is to it . nothing can stop me , ' kay ?

[ suspenseful music ] abigail : what ? chad : i mean , i just -- i mean , i had to stop . like , if we did n't know that stefano dimera ever lived in that house i bet you -- i bet you that you would think that was a perfect little palace for us . abigail : no . are you out of your mind , chad ? chad : what 's the problem ? i definitely think my wife and my son deserve a mansion . abigail : we do n't need a mansion , chad . we do n't . we just need a little condo or something . and i 'm not going to live with stefano and andré at all , and i 'm not going to let my son live with either of them , either . chad : okay , well , first of all , my father went off to europe or somewhere and he 's probably not going to be back so he 's not a problem , and andré , i would love to kick him out . abigail : you 're serious about this ? chad : yeah . yeah , i think -- i mean , i am . okay , but you 're not . abigail : [ scoffs ] chad : okay , well , then i 'm just -- i 'm going to -- i 'm going to find a way to change your mind . let 's get thomas . abigail : where are you -- where are we going ? chad : come on , i 'll show you . let 's go .

and i am sure this is a big wake up call to him right now . he needs to figure out a way to get control of his anger , and i 'm gon na talk to him about that . chad : [ laughs ] that 'll do it . jordan : whatever you want . okay , whatever you think will help . chad : you would do anything ? would n't you ? you would do absolutely anything to keep me from pressing charges . you 'd sleep with me right here and now , would n't you ? you were gon na hit me , were n't you ? jordan : no . chad : i guess that temper runs in the family . jordan : why are you doing this ?

john : well , i am conditioned to be suspicious of anything a dimera does , but i was right there . i was behind the hit - and - run . i saw the whole thing happen . i saw tony push brady out of the way and take the car himself . now , why would he sacrifice himself like that ? what would he have to gain ? does n't make any sense , does it ? bart : hey , boss , how you feeling ? listen , i was standing on popham road , right on the corner , all set to watch you rescue brady black , and then ... boss , i do n't know what the hell went wrong . i mean , i do n't know what the hell happened . i mean ... tony : why do n't you come a little closer now ? i 'll tell you what i have to say . tony : no one was supposed to get hurt . the car was supposed to come for brady , i was supposed to push him to safety , and then i was supposed to get up , dust myself off , and bask in the glory of john black 's reluctant gratitude . then he and his nosy son were supposed to back off from me , and then i would be free to go after marlena . bart : it was a great plan , boss . it just went kalamazoo . tony : what are you talking about ?

nicole : i know i said i 've moved on , and ... i have . but that does n't mean i still do n't care about eric . i loved him , and a part of me always will , and i just want him to be happy , and for some reason he seems to think that 's gon na happen with you , so i came here to put you on notice . you better not hurt eric . serena : i thought you wanted to -- nicole : clear the air ? yes . i want us to at least be civil because we 're gon na see each other all the time , and i think we hit on that before you took that call , so we 'll just -- we 'll just stay away from each other , and if we ca n't avoid it , we 'll just think ... `` what would eric do ? `` and everything will be fine . i am so glad we did this . oh , thank you . okay , bye . now let 's see what kind of dirt you 're really hiding , red . eric : i hope nicole ... has learned a lesson and will treat you the way you deserve . daniel : well , you do n't really need to worry so much about me and nicole . you can focus on your own life . eric : that 's exactly what i want to do . daniel : great . take care . kate : honey , what 's going on ? you just seem so sad , or -- i do n't know , what ? will : just stressed . just stressed out , you know . there 's a lot going on . kate : mm - hmm . with sonny , right ? look , i know that the two of you took a bath on the failure of that night club . how much are you out ? will : grandma -- kate : no , no , no , no . i do n't even need an exact figure . will : grandma , i do n't care -- i do n't care about the money . times , they 're tight , but i 'm not worried . things are gon na be fine . kate : you 're not worried , but sonny is . will : sonny feels so guilty , which is a joke , because compared to me ... kate : what do you mean , `` compared to you `` ? you have something to feel guilty about ? honey , what do you have to feel guilty about ? ben : i know i put you in an awkward situation with chad . sonny : we 've had worse ones . ben : well , look , man , if there 's anything i can do to make it better for you , sonny , say the word . sonny : do n't worry about me . i mean , you 're the one probably going to court . ben : yeah . sonny : is it weird with jordan ? and abigail ? man , you have too many connections with chad . ben : given that we hate each other , yeah . still no excuse for what i did . sonny : no , but i saw the way he pushes your buttons . ben : and i know better . sonny : well , what did he say to make you so angry ? something about abigail ? victor : ben rogers , do i know him ? wait , he works for sonny over at tbd , does n't he ? abigail : he did , yes , but he had to leave that job recently , and i know that your new club is still staffing . victor : well , i have a manager for that sort of thing . abigail : yes , i know , and i would have gone to rafe directly myself , but i was afraid that he and you might have a problem with ben . victor : why ? and why did he have to leave sonny 's ? abigail : it was n't sonny 's idea at all -- i mean , in fact , sonny probably would have loved to keep ben on . he actually invited him to manage his new club down on the south side -- that 's how much he trusts ben and thinks he 's a great employee . victor : again , if he 's so great , why did he get canned ? abigail : he had a fight with chad dimera . it was kind of bad . victor : for who ? abigail : well , chad had to go to the hospital , but he is fine , and i know ben . he would never intend to hurt -- victor : quit while you 're ahead , honey . anybody who takes a swing at dimera gets my sympathy . abigail : good . victor : and i 'm sure rafe feels the same way . but then you knew that . so why are you here ? abigail : i did n't think the chad thing would be a problem , honestly . i thought you might have a problem with ben 's dad , clyde weston . man : did you bring the camera ? woman : yeah . man : oh , that tree with the icicles . woman : ooh , it 's a great shot . man : beautiful . will : sonny 's a saint , compared to me . kate : okay , so what have you done that 's so terrible ? will : everyone knows what i did , grandma . i went to hollywood in the stupidest , dumbest way . kate : no , you went there to help your mother after her husband was murdered . will : i went there to write a screenplay , and i took ari with me . i left sonny all alone . i barely stayed in touch with him . and then , after i got washed out and i came back here , did i do what i could to make it right ? no . i get another job and i get caught up in that . sonny 's club is going down , in flames . am i there when he needs me the most ? no . kate : is that what sonny says ? will : he does n't have to . i know what i did . sonny : what did chad say ? ben : does n't matter , does it ? he ran his mouth . just words , though . no reason for me to throw a punch . sonny : or ten . ben : yeah . sonny : did chad hit you back ? ben : barely . that 's what 's so stupid . i should have just seen it . he provoked me , and then he took it , so there 'd be no question of who was in the wrong . sonny : do you think he took that beating to try to land you behind bars ? ben : he wo n't admit it , but -- sonny : do you need a lawyer ? i can call my dad and get you a great recommendation . ben : no , thank you , but no . my dad 's actually handling it . sonny : is that okay with you ? ben : yeah . i mean , it 's weird , but , he 's been very supportive . i think he 's been in my shoes . his temper 's even worse than mine . abigail : i saw you and mr. weston at the club opening , and it did n't look too friendly . victor : that was my party face . sit . i hardly know the man . kate puts me in a foul mood , most days . abigail : oh . okay , well , then i guess there is n't a problem . so you 'll give ben a job ? i 'm sure sonny 's gon na give him a great reference . victor : do i have to answer that right now ? abigail : i know , um ... i 'm sorry , this is incredibly rude and forward of me . it 's just ben might have a hearing soon , and if he 's unemployed , they might see that as a flight risk or -- who knows ? victor , it 's -- it 's chad on the other side . victor : abigail , why are you here ? ca n't this guy speak for himself ? abigail : ben has no trouble speaking up for himself at all . he does have a hard time asking for favors . he has a lot of pride . just letting his dad bail him out alone -- victor : excuse me . [ phone ringing ] victor : yes ? damon : it 's done . victor : good . you were saying ? abigail : yes . ben has too much pride to ask for help . his father paid for his bail , and he would do anything he could for ben , but i think that -- victor : he does n't want to rely that much on his father . probably a good move . kate : so you 've been neglectful , but you can make up for that . will : it 's not that simple . kate : no , it is that simple . you love each other . will : that did n't stop me from what i did . kate : that did n't stop you ? what are you talking about ? is there more here that -- what else have you done that you did n't tell me ? will . will , you did n't . will : but i did . i love sonny so much , i never meant to hurt him . kate : i know , i -- i know you did n't . will : i love him , so much . kate : it was a mistake , everyone makes mistakes , okay ? the important thing is to learn from that . will : it only happened once . kate : shh , sweetie . sweetie , it 's okay . okay ? will : i ca n't believe -- kate : look , it happened , all right ? so now the important thing is that it never happens again . all right ? you love sonny , you love the life that you have created with him for ari . right ? okay , focus on that . will : i will . [ phone ringing ] will : speak of the devil . [ phone ringing ] kate : sonny ? will : paul . hi . paul : hi . you want to finish the interview ? i could be back at the hotel in , uh -- will : no , no , not the hotel . come to my office . paul : okay , i 'll be there in 20 . will : see you there . grandma , you were right . this is a big article . biggest thing i 've ever written . kate : well , i did tell you to do anything you had to to get the story , right ? will : no , that 's not -- grandma , i love you , but i 'm not a little kid . i made my own choices , my own mistakes , and not -- not because i wanted to write a story . kate : will , be careful . nicole : daniel ! daniel : you look shocked . nicole : well , i -- i just -- i thought you were working . daniel : mm - mm . no , dr. patel took the emergency , so i 'm officially off for the night , so you , me , dinner , market street , one hour . nicole : what ? how 'd you get in that place ? it 's booked solid . daniel : no , no , i got peeps . nicole : [ gasps ] daniel : and , with the start of the blizzard , someone cancelled , so let 's go . nicole : well , can we ? i mean , it 's really coming down out there . daniel : look , i do have snow tires , chains , 4-wheel drive . we are golden ! i am taking you on a real 4-star dinner date , uninterrupted , just the two of us , a real date . got something better to do ? serena : so , i was surprised too , but then nicole came right over , and we kind of cleared the air , and then she left in a hurry , but -- eric : that 's great . listen , i have a surprise for you . i pulled all the art from africa out of storage , the pieces that you were talking about . serena : really ? eric : yeah , i thought we could kinda go through it together . there 's a lot of memories . serena : that is a trip i would love to take with you . where 's the stuff ? eric : my place . come on , let 's go . all right , let me just shut down . that bitch . will : thank you for meeting me here . paul : oh , this was a better idea . will : so ... you ready to do this ? paul : no . i do n't think i 'll ever be ready , but it 's time . will : paul , if you 're not ready -- paul : it 's the right thing . will : it has to be the right thing ... for you . paul : it is , it 's just -- look , if it were easy , i would have done it a long time ago . i should have . was just so afraid of losing everything . instead i ended up losing the only thing that really mattered to me . ben : i 'll see you soon , man . kate : ben , hi ! ben : hi , ms . roberts . kate : hey , your father told me about what happened to you . i am so sorry . my business partner can be a jerk sometimes . ben : yeah , well . there 's no law against that , unfortunately . thanks , though . kate : sure , take care ! ben : see ya . sonny : see you later . will is working , and ari 's sleeping . kate : good ! because i want to talk to you . victor : so , how do you propose i give this guy a job if he wo n't apply for it ? of course i could always call sonny and just keep your name out of it . i assume that was the next request . abigail : you 're very perceptive . victor : i 've had several women try and manage my life before . abigail : actually , i 'm going to tell ben about this myself . i do n't want there to be any secrets between us . in my experience , they 've messed up everything . so , ben will come by the club tomorrow first thing , and speak to rafe , if that 's all right with you ? victor : he 'll be expecting him . abigail : oh , okay , great . well , thank you , victor . victor : oh , it 's my pleasure . abigail : okay . eric : what 's wrong ? serena : nicole stole my files and she 's gon na try to use them against me . eric : wait , what files ? what can she use ? serena : she did n't come over here to bury the hatchet . she came over here to bury the hatchet in my back . nicole : i ... ca n't go . daniel : what ? nicole : well , uh ... after you left , my producer called with a story , and i ... daniel : well , what story ? nicole : took it . daniel : what story ? nicole : mittens . daniel : mittens ? nicole : mittens ! you know , the tiger at the zoo ? she had cubs . daniel : i thought she had cubs last spring . nicole : second litter . i guess mr. mittens got a little busy . daniel : oh , did he now ? well , ca n't someone else cover that story ? i mean , it 's kind of a fluff piece . nicole : no , actually , it 's unusual -- a second birth ? so it 's not just a human interest -- or mammal interest -- story , but it 's about climate change and ethics on animals being in a zoo at all -- daniel : okay , okay , all of those problems are still gon na be there tomorrow , right ? yeah , i want time with you . real time . nicole : i know . i want the same . daniel : then what 's going on ? what are n't you telling me ? will : tell me . what did you lose ? paul : i lost the guy . the one i told you about . the once - in - a - lifetime person . he loved me , and i loved him . he just wanted us to be open . honest . will : you wanted it to be kept a secret ? paul : he asked me to marry him . he just wanted me to stand up and be who i was . i loved him so much . i was just too much of a coward to say yes . kate : look , i know that you could go to victor , but that 's not going to be easy , either . sonny : kate -- kate : no , no , no , no -- look . there 's no way he would make it a loan , all right ? and there 'd be strings attached . sonny : you know uncle vic . kate : no strings here , okay ? now , i am figuring that you are probably on the hook for -- sonny : wait , how would you know what kind of money was involved ? kate : i do n't know . but i 'm sure it wiped out whatever you and will had saved . sonny : yeah . genius move on my part . kate : would you stop that ? no one 's blaming you , especially not will . i just talked to will , and he 's not . but it sucks to be broke , i know that . and i can help . if you do n't know , now that i 'm running dimera , i 'm filthy rich , so -- sonny : i know , i know , but i need to handle this on my own . kate : then do it . take the loan . every business has to do it . it 's not a handout , sonny . you need to take it , okay ? nothing , nothing is worth jeopardizing the life that you have built with ari and will . daniel : all right , come on . that whole tiger cub story is lame . what is really going on ? nicole : i need to do this story ! i told you , miles is hard on me , okay ? and he will take all the interesting assignments from me if i do n't make this one look good . daniel : okay , okay . well ... i ca n't help you with that whole fate - of - the - world tiger cub thing , but if you need a nice , fluffy , feel - good piece , i will make one call , and you will be feeding that little cub yourself , on camera , tomorrow . tomorrow . nicole : okay , that sounds really great , but the story has to be in tonight . daniel : no , no , parker comes home tomorrow , melanie is out , it has to be tonight . fine . you know , forget it . you do what you got ta do . nicole : wait , daniel , daniel -- wait , wait , wait , wait . daniel : no -- nicole : no , no , no , do n't be upset with me . daniel : good night , nicole . nicole : no -- okay , okay . you 're right . okay , this story can wait until tomorrow . it can , if ... miles is upset with me , then so be it . because nothing is more important to me than you . i 'm sorry i was such a jerk . do you forgive me ? daniel : oh , now , i 'm getting there . get your stuff . nicole : i 'll get my purse . serena : there . check the last dates and times . eric : it was all accessed at the same time . serena : and they were copied . eric : while you were on the phone . serena : she probably planned that phone call as a diversion . eric : you said it was from the national institutes of health . serena : it was , but it still could have been a setup . nicole wanted me out of the way so she could access my computer . her excuse was that she wanted to come over and make peace . i mean , she made a big deal out of that , and that -- she comes over here -- she was probably laying the trap the whole time ! and she keeps talking and talking , and then two minutes later , i get a phone call . soon as i come back out , she 's hovering , clutching a picture of you , babbling on and on and then trying to rush out the door . eric : that sounds like nicole . serena : i ca n't believe that went through my pers -- my private files . eric : listen , she ca n't even understand any of your research , but is there anything else on there that can hurt you ? serena : no , it 's just ... the idea of -- sick and twisted woman . eric : you know what , do n't worry , i 'm gon na handle this . yes , nicole walker , please . do you know where she went ? ok . nicole : ooh , honey ! this is so sudden . daniel : okay , down , down , down girl . nicole : oh ho . daniel : down . nicole : we can get snowed in together . daniel : no , no , no , later . we can get snowed in later . first , dinner date . now i 'm gon na put something nice on , and then we are outta here . nicole : oh , do you think i 'll be okay in this ? daniel : mm , you are just perfect , okay ? ten minutes . ten . nicole : okay . [ sighs ] what the hell am i doing ? i should dump this . i mean , daniel is nuts about me . you know what ? eric can take care of himself . you know what , if he wants to put his trust into serena , so be it . it 's not my job to set him straight . will : paul . listen to me . you potentially had a lot to lose by coming out . i do n't know when this was , but even five years ago , things could have been a lot different . your fans , your management , your teammates . you did n't know how they would react . and you loved what you were doing so much . paul : i did . i love the game , i loved the fame , i loved standing alone on the mound in front of 60,000 people yelling my name . or booing . i did n't care , as long as they were talking about me . the `` me `` they knew . but now they wo n't be anyway . i traded the love of my life for a career that 's over before i even turn 30 . will : are you saying that if you could go back and do it all again , you 'd say yes to the man that asked you to marry him ? paul : in a heartbeat . sonny : so how would i be risking my marriage if i did n't take the loan ? kate : honey , you 're all stressed out , you 're worried about money , you 're working crazy hours . sonny : will 's the one who ca n't seem to come home early . kate : okay . so , you 're both busy , right ? you know you 're not spending enough time together , and you need to be spending that time together , especially since will was away for so long in l.a. sonny , you need to make sure that both of you feel loved . every day . sonny : and by taking your money , that would -- that would happen . kate : well , it would give you some time , it would give you space . sonny : i 'll think about it . kate : [ sighs ] thank you . okay . so , when is that baby gon na get up ? sonny : um , well , should be getting up pretty soon . actually , would you mind watching her for a little bit ? i have an errand to run that i definitely think you 'll approve of . kate : sure , go ! sonny : thank you . abigail : hi . ben : hey . abigail : hey . how 'd it go with sonny ? ben : he was great . he 'll definitely give me a reference . abigail : well , um , you do n't need one , because you already have a new job . ben : what ? abigail : yeah , i ... i spoke to victor about hiring you at the new place . ben : you did what ? damon : no witnesses . i 'm sure of that . we were alone , and nobody saw me on my way out of the park . victor : so you left the body ? damon : i had to . there were some people out for a walk . if i 'd stayed any longer they might 've found me . victor : you do n't suppose that they could have stumbled across weston ? damon : i do n't think so . he was hidden in the bushes , and the snow was coming down hard . by the time i left , he was almost completely covered . if he is n't found in the next hour or two -- victor : he 'll be a clydesicle until the spring thaw . damon : it 's possible . we could get the body found . i could arrange an anonymous tip . victor : no , let him rot . abigail : wait -- wait , wait a minute , ben , okay ? before you get all crazy on me , let me just remind you , that you tried to get me a job at the hospital when i was fired . ben : okay , that 's different . abigail : why ? different how ? because i did n't mess up , and i should n't have taken full responsibility for my actions ? ben : abigail , i do n't want any favors . abigail : okay great , 'cause you 're not getting any . look , victor considers it a public service that you punched chad , okay ? and we were wrong about him . he has no problem with your father . that 's actually why i went . so he 's just gon na talk to sonny , and then you 're in . please do n't be mad at me , ben . are you ? ben : no . look , it was very nice of you to look after me . i appreciate it . i 'm just -- i 'm really surprised about clyde and victor . abigail : yeah , i know . it was really bad the other night , but ... you know , some of that , it 's just victor . he looks like a curmudgeon most of the time , but he 's really just an old softie . victor : three shots , center mass , you 're sure ? damon : saw the bullets hit , and it 's clean , mr. k. gun is destroyed , nothing on clyde 's body to link him to any of us . victor : phone that i used to set up the meet . it 's a burner , untraceable . damon : i 'll trash it . anything else ? victor : no , that 's everything . damon : you saved a lot of people today , mr. k. kids who do n't need that garbage in their neighborhood , not to mention your crew need their old jobs back . should i start making the rounds at the docks ? victor : no , no , not yet . things will fall apart soon enough without clyde there . then we 'll move in . kate : [ sighs ] clyde , hi . i 'm babysitting with ari for a little while but , um , i should be free later if you want to meet . call me . will : you ca n't say that , paul . you ca n't second guess your life . paul : that 's all i 've done since we started this article . will : you do n't know how it would have gone . paul : i made a big mistake . paul : you do n't know that , paul . all you can focus on is what happens now . trust me . when you come out , it 'll be like your life began all over again . and if what you want is a relationship , you will meet the right man . paul : what if i already met the right guy and i blew it ? will : if he really was the right guy , if it was really meant to be , well then , who knows ? maybe he 'll come back . maybe you 'll get a second chance . nicole : wow . you clean up well . i am one lucky woman . daniel : yeah , you are . nicole : [ laughs ] how about you , how lucky are you ? daniel : ah , kinda goes without saying , really . nicole : well , keep saying it . out loud and often , please . daniel : i am one lucky guy . come on . nicole : [ gasps ] serena : you lying , stealing bitch ! | daniel and eric argued over nicole . daniel was willing to let stop being friends with eric if he pushed him . nicole wanted to call a truce with serena . once nicole left serena 's apartment , nicole wanted to see the dirt she had on serena . will talked to kate about feeling guilty for something . abby went to victor to help ben . will told kate about the way he treated sonny while he was away . abby wanted victor to give ben a job . will told kate that he cheated on sonny . paul called so they could meet . daniel nearly busted nicole before she could get the dirt on serena . when serena checked her computer , she knew nicole stole her files . |

i mean , eric drove drunk , and he killed a man -- brady : i know . nicole : that we both love . brady : i know , but it was an accident . it was a horrific accident . it was terrible . but it 's not because eric is a bad person . and to be angry and vindictive and want someone to suffer more than what they already have , nicole -- it 's not right . it 's not what he -- what daniel would want . listen to me . aside from daniel saving my life , it ... it seems he 's made me a better person . his compassion -- it seems to be in me now . deimos : i 'm out of here . victor : oh , i get it , deimos . you 're upset that i did n't go to bat for you all those years ago . now you 're gon na hold it against me . why would i have protected you ?

deimos : how about an apology ? huh ? something along the lines of , `` i 'm so sorry , my dear brother for taking your life away from you , for forcing you to live in a hellhole of a prison for 30 years of your life , wrongly accused . `` victor : and how is that my fault ? you were convicted of a crime . deimos : a crime i did not commit . victor : the evidence said otherwise . all right , fine , i 'll write you a check for $ 2 million . take it and disappear . deimos : oh , man . have you finally gone senile ?

eve : come here . you 'll be okay . belle : excuse me ? philip : it 's already been taken care of . belle : philip , you have to let me take care of the check every once in a while , or i might start getting used to this . philip : well , this one is on the house ... literally . i made a bet with the barista that you would show up pretty much when you did , and that you would want exactly that muffin and that coffee . i won . belle : hm . it seems like your gambling skills have improved since las vegas , because as i remember it , i beat the pants off of you in strip black jack , literally . philip : win - win situation for the both of us . nicole : i -- i spoke to theresa . she ... she told me you were having strange dreams about me . would you mind ... describing them ? brady : you and daniel were kissing . you were looking into each other 's eyes . there 's another one where you were ... shaving him . you both seemed really , really , really happy . and there 's another one with daniel 's proposal . he asks you to marry him . you were at a restaurant . you were having dinner ... and you were very excited and surprised . nicole : oh , my god . brady , those ... those were n't dreams . they 're memories . they 're -- they 're daniel 's memories . want bladder leak underwear that moves like you do ? philip : shawn , how 's it going ? good to see you , man . shawn : cut the crap . philip : i 'm fine , too . thanks for asking . shawn : stay away from belle . philip : this from the guy who filed for divorce . shawn : i made a mistake . philip : hard one to backtrack on , though . shawn : you 've tried to come between me and belle before , have n't you , philip ? philip : excellent memory , there , shawn . shawn : did n't work out so well for you , did it ? stop wasting your time . philip : and hey , if you 're so confident in belle 's utter devotion to you , why bother telling me to stay away from her ? shawn : 'cause she 's vulnerable right now , and her decisions may not be the smartest ones . philip : or maybe they are . maybe you need to look past what you want and think about what she wants . and i have to admit to being curious ... since you 're obviously so possessive of her , threatened by me and , i would think , any man who would dare lay a hand on her , why were you so ready to divorce her ? and why , now , are you so quick to change your mind ? shawn : i take it you 've never done that before , right ? changed your mind ? philip : maybe not with such unbelievable swiftness . i mean , frankly , it seems a bit frivolous . not to mention really messed up that you would n't have thought long and hard before pulling the trigger on something so very life altering . and just so you know , this is the last time i intend to talk to you about belle . i will discuss sports with you , the economy , global warming , but anything about belle -- you take it up with her from now on . [ tense music ] nicole : okay , i think that 's enough for today . it 's time to rest , yeah ? brady : yeah , yeah . [ groans ] nicole : okay , brady , this is probably too much to ask , but it would really mean a lot to me if you would tell me more about what you 're seeing and what you 're feeling . brady : i 'll tell you all i -- all i can . i will . just , the memories , they 're ... they 're fleeting . there is one that recurs more frequently than the others . it 's the one of you . you 're -- you 're ... in this window . sunlight is pouring in , and it 's ... it 's beautiful . there 's waves crashing in the background , i -- nicole : daniel and i have never been by the ocean together . is it possible that maybe you 're confusing two different images ? brady : maybe . [ stammers ] maybe , but that 's the ... that 's the vision that i see coming back to me the most . nicole : brady , are you ... are you sure it 's me you 're seeing ? brady : i 'm pretty certain it 's you , but you should n't be focusing on these things . this is a time that you need to grieve . it 's the only way you 're gon na move forward . and i should n't even be telling you about these images and memories -- nicole : you did n't , you did n't . theresa did . i just hope she 's not upset that i 'm the one you 're seeing in your dreams , or ... the memories . brady : theresa 's fine about it . deimos : you really are a heartless son of a bitch , you know that ? victor : when it comes to you , you 're damn right i am . deimos : just like our father was . he always did take your side . victor : oh , here comes the self - pity . poor deimos , the surprise baby that nobody wanted . deimos : oh , come on , you know damn well that was true . victor : what i know is that i do n't give a rat 's ass . i never did . i was 20 years old when you were born . i had better things to do than tend to a bratty sob who made everybody 's life miserable around him when he did n't get what he wanted . deimos : [ laughs ] when did i ever get what i wanted ? victor : oh , cry me a damn river . i 'm the one that took all the beatings . you were a spoiled brat , and you got away with murder . and why are we talking about this now , all these years later ? it 's ancient history , and i 'm bored with it . just get the hell out of my house . i do n't want -- philip : dad , what happened ? what 's wrong ? oh , my god . victor : no , no , no . philip : yeah , this is phil -- victor : no 911 - -i 'm fine . philip : no , you 're not . you looked like you were having a heart attack . victor : operative words are `` looked like . `` and the oscar goes to ... marlena : did you see him ? roman : they 're booking him now . justin : i hear eric is coming in . i can only imagine how difficult this is for both of you . marlena : i know he would not want me to ask you for leniency , so i wo n't do that ... but i do hope you wo n't use this event or my son for any political advantage . justin : i can assure you , i am not in this for anything other than to see justice done , and you both know what that means , given that there was a death involved . so i 'm going to simply present the state 's case , and the final call will be with the judge . [ knock knock ] theresa : hi . listen , i have some documents at the office that are ready for you to sign and also , the proofs for the magazine shoot are ready . i did n't know you were gon na be here , or i would 've brought them with me . nicole : thank you , theresa . theresa : also , brady , i spoke with fynn , and he promised that he 'd release you tomorrow . brady : oh . theresa : and , as we discussed , i think it 's best if you come home with me and tate -- to our house , not to victor 's . brady : right . yeah . theresa : you know , the important thing is that you 're gon na be out in time for daniel 's funeral tomorrow . nicole : what ? tomorrow ? philip : why would you do that ? why would you fake having a heart attack ? you nearly gave me one , for god 's sake . victor : because i wanted to see how deep my brother 's hatred went . did you see what that son of a bitch did ? he walked out of here and left me to die . philip : but you were n't dying . victor : he did n't know that . and all those protestations he made about leaving the past behind us ? philip : maybe he 's having a hard time putting behind him the 30 years of prison time he spent for allegedly killing your fiancée . victor : i never told anybody but maggie about what happened 30 years ago . how the hell did you find out ? belle : claire , it 's mom again . please call me back . i 've been trying to reach you . i 'll be here waiting for you , claire . marlena : hi , sweetie . belle : hi . is eric out of the hospital ? marlena : eric 's in jail . belle : oh , my god . i ca n't even imagine how hard this must be for you . marlena : honey , it 's hard for everybody . he wants to plead guilty . does n't even want a lawyer . belle : well , he needs a lawyer , whether he wants one or not -- i 'll be there for him . you know i 'll do whatever i can to help . marlena : i know you will . i overheard you leaving a message for claire . she still wo n't return your calls ? belle : nope . or my texts . just ... i feel like i 'm losing her . i ca n't get her to listen to anything i have to say . marlena : have you tried listening to her ? belle : why would you say that to me ? of course i listen to her . you know what ? i am so sick of everyone blaming me for everything that goes wrong . i made one mistake -- one ! do n't you think i 've paid enough for that ? marlena : it sounds to me as though the only person blaming you is you . i was not talking about maine . i was talking about your jaunt to vegas ... with philip . victor : how did you know about my brother 's prison time ? philip : i heard you talking to maggie . so i went to deimos to see if i could get the whole story . he told me that you let him take the fall for killing your fiancée when he was innocent . is that true ? victor : absolutely not . he paid for the crime that he committed . end of story . and did n't i tell you to stay away from him ? philip : i was worried about you , father . victor : do n't be . i can handle my brother . philip : and together , we can handle him even better . victor : philip , stay out of it . you have to keep your hands clean for titan 's sake . and tomorrow after daniel 's funeral , i 'll find a way to neutralize my brother -- get him out of my life for good . [ dramatic music ] kate : i will miss your company tonight , eduardo . i hate drinking alone . well , there 's so much i could talk to you about ... but mostly , i would like to talk about your very dangerous and intriguing life . [ laughs ] i see . you , too . later . deimos : excuse me . i overheard you saying that you hate drinking alone . looks like we already have something in common . may i join you ? kate : well , that depends . do i know you ? deimos : my name is deimos . deimos kiriakis . kate : well , now you have my attention . theresa : nicole , i 'm so sorry . i thought you would 've known , that you would 've been in on the funeral arrangements . nicole : theresa , do n't -- there 's no need to be sorry . it 's not your fault . you know , melanie tried talking to me , too , and i just did n't want to deal with it . maggie , too . she left me a couple messages , and i just distracted myself with work . i just did n't want to have to face the fact that -- do you know what maggie decided to do ? theresa : it 's gon na be a small service at the church . that 's what she said . and afterward , everyone 's gon na go to club tbd for a reception . and maggie also said , per daniel 's wishes , he 's gon na be cremated . [ nicole sobs ] theresa : okay , and instead of flowers , they 're gon na ask for donations to the children 's wing of the hospital . nicole : yeah , that -- that would mean a lot to him . thank you . [ solemn music ] kate : so , would it be very far off of me to assume that you are somehow related to victor kiriakis ? deimos : not at all . he 's my brother . kate : he 's my ex . deimos : [ laughs ] well , then , i guess i can assume that you know him very well . kate : probably better than anyone . deimos : would it earn me a smile if i told you that i 'm nothing like him ? kate : you know , it 's very surprising that he never mentioned you to me . deimos : my brother , as i 'm sure you 're aware of , can be very secretive . personally , i like to lay my cards right on the table , face up . belle : why would you ask me about philip and my trip to vegas ? what has that got to do with claire ? marlena : you ca n't figure that out ? belle : i can figure out that you do n't approve of me seeing philip . that 's a total no - brainer . marlena : your daughter was looking forward to some mother - daughter time with you . when you went to vegas , she was very disappointed . you can understand that , ca n't you ? belle : yes , i can . truth is , i knew that she was gon na ask about shawn and me , and she was gon na tell me how heartbroken she is that shawn and i are n't trying to work things out , and i just could n't hear it . claire : i forgot my bio paper . hi , grandma . marlena : hi , sweetheart . i 've got to get back to the precinct . i love you . you 'll figure this out . i 've got faith in you . belle : thanks , mom . wait . claire : mom , i 'm gon na be late for class . belle : no , i will write you a note . i want to tell you something . claire : yes ? belle : baby , what i did , going to vegas , was selfish . i get it . you needed me here , and i was n't thinking about you or your feelings , and i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . will you forgive me , please ? claire : sure , sure . but ... there is something you can do to kind of make it up to me . belle : and what 's that ? claire : you can support me in my decision to audition for juilliard . mom , i -- i know what you think . it 's really hard to try to make it as a singer , but i have to at least give it a try , and dad 's okay with it , so ... will you just think about it some more , please ? [ knocking at door ] claire : oh , hi , dad . shawn : hey . claire : hi . i was just talking about you and how supportive you 've been about me auditioning for juilliard . shawn : yeah . i mean , i just want you to be happy . claire : thanks . well , i got to get to class . belle : so , you just want her to be happy ? what a novel concept . why did n't i think of that ? shawn : i did n't mean to try to -- listen , claire knows that you have reservations about her auditioning for juilliard . she knows that ... that you 're just being protective . belle : actually , she does n't know that . shawn : well , i hope the two of you can sort that out . but , actually , i did n't come here to talk about that . i came here to talk about something else . belle : what ? shawn : us . [ knocking at door ] nicole : hey . theresa : hi . listen , i -- i brought over the papers for you to sign . nicole : oh , you did n't -- theresa : and the proofs . nicole : have to do that . theresa : i wanted to . listen , i think they came out really well , too , and a lot of that was because of your incredibly good taste and judgment . nicole : what is it ? theresa : it 's so stupid , and i feel like a complete idiot , but ... nicole : it bothers you . about me and brady . you 're worried that because of daniel -- his heart beating in brady -- you think my connection to brady is even stronger , do n't you ? kate : there 's my son . philip ! come meet your uncle . philip : actually , we 've met . briefly . deimos : hello , philip . kate : just briefly ? why do i think there 's something i 'm missing here ? deimos : i 'm already late . long day ahead . it was nice meeting you , kate . kate : it was my pleasure . deimos : philip . kate : so ... what , exactly , is the dynamic between vic and his brother ? philip : just that , according to my dad , deimos is nothing but trouble . and judging by the tell - tale `` trouble sounds like fun `` twinkle in your eye , you 're intrigued by him . kate : well , i would n't exactly say `` intrigued , `` but ... he is your uncle , after all . philip : stay away from him , mom -- i mean it . kate : of course . philip : and the subtext of that `` of course `` is , `` i 'll do whatever the hell i want , philip , so do n't even ... `` close ? kate : you nailed it , baby . belle : shawn , i do n't think that right now is a very -- shawn : i do n't care what it is that you think . belle : oh , great . well , that 's a great way to start a conversation about us . shawn : no , the reason why i do n't care is because i know that you 're confused . i know that you 're hurt . and that 's all on me . look , when i filed for divorce , that was a mistake . i realize that now . i was hurt , obviously , and it was my way of hurting you back . and now , you being with philip -- that 's -- that 's your way of hurting me back . belle : oh , so that 's what you 've reduced it to ? i 'm just seeing philip to get back at you ? how mature and dignified of me . shawn : belle , i do n't want -- belle : no , it 's insulting , shawn -- it 's insulting to me , and it 's insulting to philip . shawn : oh , well , you know , i 'm sorry for insulting philip , of all people , 'cause you know , i mean , he is just a stand - up guy , right ? is n't he ? belle : oh , would you please just can it with the sarcasm ? shawn : fine . then i 'll leave you alone . belle : yeah . i think that 's a great idea . marlena : [ stammers ] where is he , where is he ? did they -- roman : no . no . marlena : [ sighs ] i was worried i was too late . i was afraid they 'd -- i spoke to belle . of course she 'll represent him . roman : i do n't think he 's gon na change his mind about wanting a lawyer . marlena : i 'm here . i 'm here . i 'm right here . i 'm always right here . eric : it 's okay , mom . it 's okay . it 's okay . roman : okay . it 's okay . officer : let 's go . marlena : [ sobs ] [ crying ] theresa : look , i know there 's nothing going on between you guys . you 're just drawn to brady right now because ... because he has daniel 's heart . and old theresa would freak out , but i 'm not that person anymore . you 're not saying anything . is that because i 'm right ? you are drawn to brady right now ? nicole : yes ... but not in a romantic way . and i 'm not gon na lie . it 's intense . we were two of the people who loved daniel most in this world , and we would feel a connection even if ... oh , god . i miss him so much . my love , my ... my daniel .

[ clears throat ] actually , she 's ... nicole and daniel 's child . maggie , she 's your granddaughter . maggie : [ gasps ] nicole : daniel ! oh ! i know this is a dream . or maybe i 'm just crazy . i think a lot of people would bet on crazy , but ... i 'm gon na go with a dream . oh , i wish i could dream about you every night when i go to sleep . so i ... i guess you know we have a baby . daniel : i do . nicole : oh , wow . daniel , i just remembered . when i dreamed about you before , that 's what you were trying to tell me . when you said you would always be with me , you were trying to tell me about our little girl . daniel : holly . nicole : yes ! daniel : yes . nicole : oh , god , to hear you say that , that 's amazing ! i never thought i 'd hear you -- do you like it ? do you like her name ? daniel : it 's terrific . it suits her to a t . nicole : yeah . you know , you need to be more specific , mister . you know , you -- you said that i should move on and you 'd always be with me , but you never mentioned anything about holly . because if you did , i could have saved myself a lot of trouble . daniel : hey , do n't worry . do not worry . everything is gon na be just fine . nicole : that 's easy for you to say . chloe has lawyered up , and she is suing for custody . and look at me . i 'm barely out of handcuffs . that 's really gon na go over well in the courts , right ? and plus , chloe 's just gon na flash that smile of hers and tell the judge what a wonderful job she 's done raising parker . and then the judge is just gon na give her holly -- daniel : okay , nicole ? nicole , hey . i trust you . i trust in you . because i know you . you are gon na do whatever it takes to get our little girl back . and you will . steve : that 's it . i agree with rafe . not cool for shane to keep us waiting . rafe : exactly . it 's been over an hour . steve : i think i better go try to track him down . shane : do n't bother . i 'm here . sorry to keep you waiting , but i 've been working round the clock , and i think you 'll agree it was worth it . marlena : oh , it 's so good to see you . rafe : finally . steve : glad you could make it , governor . kayla : what have you got ? shane : good news , i think . you know that surveillance we had on those two houses stefano owns ? well , it 's just paid off .

[ soft music ] nicole : [ sighs ] chloe : and nicole had pretty much come to terms with the idea that she could never conceive . but every time she talked about not being able to have a child , i just saw such sadness in her eyes that one day , i just made a suggestion . maggie : in vitro , and you would be the surrogate . chloe : right . convincing daniel was a whole other thing . victor : i 'll bet it was . maggie : no . he knew how much nicole wanted to be a mom . and he 'd do anything to make her happy . chloe : yeah . so we went ahead , and we did it , but it did n't work . we were all really disappointed , but i guess we should n't have been . the odds are never very high that it works . anyway , they said that i could try again anytime that i felt like i was ready , and i was planning on trying again when they were on their honeymoon in february , but then ... victor : daniel died . chloe : yeah . nicole was so heartbroken that we never talked about a baby again . then when i saw her again in may , she just -- she looked so sad and alone , and i - i got the idea that maybe i could help keep a part of him alive for her . maggie : for all of us . deimos : yeah , but you see , the problem is that chloe kept the whole thing secret , even after she came to realize that she was indeed carrying nicole and daniel 's child . chloe : you know , i do n't regret for one minute keeping this a secret . the idea of you being anywhere near holly or parker is revolting . you are nothing but an evil -- victor : chloe , nobody cares what you think about deimos . seriously . you dare to judge him or anyone else after the kind of life you 've led ? maggie : victor ! victor : you had no right keeping that secret ! maggie : victor ! chloe : you know how much i value your opinion , victor . victor : you were nothing but an incubator . you are not the child 's mother ! chloe : wrong . i carried this beautiful girl . i love her like she 's my own . victor : oh , you do n't love anyone . you 're incapable . maggie : victor , stop ! chloe : that is not true . i 'm a damn good mother , victor . parker is a happy , well - adjusted little boy because of me . deimos : oh , you know what ? that 's so touching , chloe , but now that we have indisputable proof that holly is not your child , i 'm sorry , but i 'm not all that moved by your love for her , and i 'm sure as hell no one else is either ... chloe : just shut the hell up , okay ? deimos : especially considering the fact that her real mother is alive and well , ready to give her heart and soul to her daughter , this woman 's granddaughter , who , in spite of all your pathetic protestations to the contrary , is not your child ! chloe : i brought her into this world . deimos : all right , well , now it 's time for you give her up ! chloe : the hell i will . i 'm suing for full custody . [ dramatic music ] shane : the agents in place thought i was nuts . i had them glued to those two houses stefano dimera owns . i 'm sorry , i should say the houses rudolfo owns . and paul was a godsend . he helped me go through all the security cameras in the area . and i 'm talking hours and hours of tape . rafe : okay , but what did you get ? is there anything that we can use ? shane : well , how does a couple of dozen photographs of the man we think might be stefano dimera sound ? rafe : um , well , that sounds great , if it 's him and if we can prove it , because that 's the only way we can get a search warrant . steve : hey , hey , hold on , buddy . just wait till you see the isa 's facial recognition program . kayla : well , do we have to go somewhere to see it ? shane : nope , it 's all right here . it 's an isa program . it 's highly classified but pretty neat all the same . you want to take a look ? steve : okay . finally gon na see if the phoenix really did rise from the ashes ... one more time . shane : all right , ready ? here we go . brady : hey . hey , you 're not gon na go to -- go to pieces on me , are you ? i mean , this is good news . nicole : i know . i know . it 's ... it 's just that this is , uh ... wow , this is overwhelming . when chloe admitted that holly was mine , it 's not that i did n't believe her , because i did . but i was just thinking how many times i came close to being a mother and i failed . i just got used to it . i did n't trust that it could be true . i was waiting for the other shoe to drop , like it always did . [ laughs softly ] but dna , absolute proof -- i mean not just for the whole world but for me -- i mean , i did n't realize how much i needed to hear that . brady : now you understand why deimos and i did n't tell you right away , because if -- if i told you that holly was yours and then the dna came back another way -- nicole : i know , okay ? i know you only did that because you cared . i get that now , brady . i do . and it was because of you -- especially you . you knew . you knew that it would tear me apart if i thought holly was mine and then to have her taken away from me . and i 'm sorry . i 'm ... i am so sorry that i was angry with you at first . brady : stop . no , no , no . there 's no need to apologize to me . i get it . i do . nicole : i am so grateful . i am ... i am so grateful now , especially for this amazing gift that daniel and i have been given . it 's a miracle . it is such a miracle . brady : it 's a total miracle . i love it . it is . yes . nicole : so where 's holly now ? brady : she 's with chloe , nicole . chloe 's legally her mother . until we get that birth certificate declared null and void , that 's the way it is . nicole : i am so furious with chloe for taking matters into her own hands and getting impregnated with my child without my knowledge . but if she had n't , holly would n't be alive , and that 's all that matters now . brady : justin is ready to sue for custody . nicole : so you mean until the courts go through god knows how many pages and hearings and testimonies , holly 's gon na be with chloe ? brady : sorry . yeah . nicole : [ sighs ] that ca n't happen , brady . it ca n't . i need to be with her . i need to be with my baby ! [ crying ] victor : chloe , for once in your life , try not to be an idiot . maggie : victor ! victor : you do n't have a leg to stand on . dna , remember ? you are not the mother ! chloe : i 'm daniel 's ex - wife . victor : what the hell has that got to do with anything ? chloe : i 'm the mother of his son , who 's holly 's half brother . oh , and on her birth certificate , where it says `` mother , `` they put `` chloe lane . `` add that to the fact that nicole is being charged with attempted murder , i think the court will see things my way . deimos : are you really willing to go through all of this just so that i ca n't be near holly ? chloe : or parker or me . deimos : even if that means that your best friend , nicole , the mother of this child , will be legally forced to stay away from her as well ? chloe : as long as you 're hanging around . maybe you should make that fresh start you tried to sell me on . victor : oh , you stupid twit . your case will be tossed in a heartbeat . secretly having someone else 's child implanted in you -- chloe : there was nothing secret . i had daniel and nicole 's written permission to try anytime . i 've done nothing wrong . ma'am , i 'm heading back to the station now . remember , do n't leave town . victor : `` do n't leave town . `` oh - ho - ho ! now , that 's not the kind of advice police give to somebody who has n't done anything wrong . of course , you do n't care about the courts . chloe : i 'm so glad i 'm being lectured on morals by you two . victor : you do n't have a snowball 's chance in hell , woman . why do n't you just figure out what 's right and then do it for a change ? oh , no . no , no , no . you 'd rather play mother of all mothers , protecting a baby that 's not even yours just so you can stick it to deimos . maggie : victor , be quiet . chloe , i 'd like a moment with you ... and my granddaughter . chloe : maggie , i know this came out of the blue , and i thank you for shutting victor down , but there 's a reason why i -- maggie : no , no , no . never mind all that now . first things first . may i ... may i hold holly ? chloe : yeah , of course . here you go , grandma . here . maggie : hi ! chloe : got her ? maggie : well , hello . [ speaking indistinctly ] how are you ? oh , you 're so tiny . chloe : take her out of that . maggie : there you go . chloe : yeah . maggie : and you 're so perfect . chloe : let 's take that off . maggie : oh , yes . i can see daniel 's eyes . you are just amazing . yes , you are . chloe : yeah , she is , is n't she ? maggie : here you go . hi ! chloe : i would give anything for daniel to be able to see her even for just a minute . maggie : well , you 'd have plenty of company . i miss him every day . but when i hold this little one and see that chin and those eyes ... [ holly fussing ] maggie : why are you doing this , chloe ? why are keeping holly to yourself ? i just do n't -- it does n't make any sense to me . chloe : i thought i was being clear . it 's not about me keeping her for myself . it 's about keeping her away from deimos . that man is evil . there 's no other way to put it . maggie : you think he would hurt her ? chloe : well , maybe not physically or directly , but people -- people get hurt in the deimos sphere of influence . and even if she managed to avoid that at first , there 's no way that holly 's not gon na be poisoned by who he is , what he is , his anger , his lack of morals . maggie : [ shushing ] chloe : there 's no way that i 'm gon na let a child that i brought into this world be anywhere near that . come on , maggie , you of all people should understand me . you know what deimos is like . you were paralyzed because of him . do you really want him raising your granddaughter ? maggie : i 've made peace with deimos . and it 's easy to see how much he loves nicole . but that 's not what 's important here . chloe ... a child should be brought up by its mother . chloe : maggie , normally i would agree with you , but in this instance , no . deimos is dangerous , and as long as nicole is with him , i 'm keeping this baby . deimos : i ca n't believe that twisted bitch . [ exhales sharply ] i really need to stay calm . victor : you certainly do . you know , i can understand your having dark thoughts about that minx . she is still at the top of her game when it comes to making men unhappy . deimos : believe me , i 'm doing my best to be patient . victor : just keep at it . in the end , you 'll win . remember , daniel is my godson , so i 've got a stake in this . deimos : i 'll take whatever help i can get . victor : then we both have the same goal . that child will be raised a kiriakis . nicole : i 'm not gon na let this get to me , brady . i - i 'm not , okay ? seriously . i mean , i ... i have the facts on my side . brady : dna does n't lie . nicole : bingo . holly is mine , not chloe 's . and any judge in his right mind would see that and give me my baby . brady : look at you , being all rational and calm . it 's great . nicole : daniel would want that . brady : yes , he would . so good for you . nicole : good for me . brady : good for you . nicole : oh . i 'm lucky . i 'm lucky to have someone looking out for me .

[ dramatic music ] eric : we were hoping for better results , you know , after the chemo treatment . now our best hope is with a bone marrow transplant . brady : yeah . i am sorry that you 're going through this , man . kristen : and i -- i 'll pray for you and your daughter . i just would never want you and sarah to go through what brady and i went through . nicole : kristen , what is wrong with you ? mackenzie is gon na live and to suggest otherwise is just cruel . kristen : okay , that 's not what i meant , and you know it . brady : kristen . kristen : no , i was just -- i 'm trying to say something nice . nicole : well , trying and failing . brady : nic . eric : i understand what she was trying to say . kristen : thank you . nicole : so , where are you two off to ? kristen : brady was taking me to put some flowers on our daughter 's grave , if that is all right with you . nicole : what is your problem ? kristen : i just wanted to make sure that you were n't gon na try and accuse me of stealing your man . eric : man ? what does she mean by that ? kristen : what , y -- you did n't know ? nicole and brady are n't just working together . they are a couple now . [ dramatic music ] kristen : you did n't know that nicole and brady were together ? eric : no . she never mentioned it . nicole : i was gon na say something . eric : there 's no need to . so this happened over the holidays while i was away getting treatment for my daughter ? nicole : no , i can explain . eric : you do n't have to explain . it 's your business . my focus is on my daughter . nicole : well , we wan na do everything we can to help , so why do n't you go to the hospital and i 'll -- i 'll take mickey -- eric : actually , i think it 's better if she stays with me . i 'm sure you and brady have better things to do than watch my daughter . nicole : eric , i -- [ dramatic music ] sorry about that . kristen : would you mind if we go ? brady : yeah , we -- we should go . um , we 'll talk about this later . sarah : thank you for staying with me , mom . why do you have to be worried about victor ? maggie : oh , i 'll check in on him soon . i do n't wan na leave you alone . i know you 're scared . sarah : you know , i see sick patients every day , and i tell them , `` trust your doctor , `` you know ? `` and take -- take each challenge one day at a time , `` but , you know , and it 's -- it 's hard when it 's your own daughter . it 's hard . maggie : yes , i know . sarah : i have to be strong for mickey . as much as i just wan na curl up in a ball , she needs me to be strong . maggie : and you will be . you 're the strongest person i know . sarah : that 's 'cause you raised me that way . maggie : oh . [ chuckles ] i 've made some mistakes in my life , including the one on the night that you -- you had your baby girl . but you know when i look at you ? i see the woman that you 've become , and i know i did something right . sarah : you did a lot of things right , mom . maggie : yeah ? oh , i let you down that night , but never again . i promise you that . [ melancholy music ] sarah : oh . will : all i can think of is the look on maggie 's face when she finds out that she 's the one who killed adrienne . ciara : will , i do n't wan na see that any more than you do , but imagine the joy that sonny and ari will feel when they learn that you 're coming home to them . will : [ stammering ] i 'm scared to even think about that . ciara : why ? will : because what if it -- what if it does n't happen , ciara ? what -- what if it ca n't happen ? ciara : hope can be a scary thing . i know . i mean , when i walked in here today believing that you would be released , i could n't help but wish that the same was true for ben . will : i really am sorry that all the work you put in to saving ben could end up maybe sending me home instead . ciara : okay , well then do n't let it be in vain . ben and i ca n't be together , at least not yet , but the same does n't have to be true for you and sonny . will : me and sonny . [ both chuckling ] will : i never thought i 'd say that again . ciara : he 's probably sitting at home right now praying for a miracle , wishing that you 'd come running in through those doors and rip up the divorce papers , and you can . will , you can do that . you can do that right now . god , imagine how happy he 's gon na be knowing that you get to come home and he gets to have his husband again . he gets to hold you in his arms again . sonny : you know , i 'm still worried about how i 'm going to explain to ari that will and i are ending our marriage . her life has been one upheaval after another . evan : poor kid . sonny : like , her mom was in prison and now will . [ sighs ] evan : if there 's anything i can do to help , just ask . sonny : you 've already done a lot . evan : i do n't know about that . sonny : you have . really . you 've helped me see that i have a future beyond will . [ dramatic music ] [ monitor beeping ] victor : let 's just change the subject , shall we ? your being ceo of titan is the least of our problems . xander : because you gave your granddaughter a loaded gun and sent her on her way . victor : and it 's our job to make sure she does n't fire that gun . xander : by telling her mom , the commissioner , that maggie really caused the accident ? victor : i told you that she wo n't do that . you have to concentrate on protecting maggie . maggie : protect me ? from what ? victor : i , uh , wanted to protect you from yourself . i 'm worried about you . maggie : worried about what ? victor : well , that you 're going to exhaust yourself spending so much time at the hospital looking after me and sarah . xander : before you walked in , victor was suggesting that i track you down and drag you home . maggie : well , i appreciate your concern but this is where i belong . you need me and so does my daughter and my grandchild . xander : is there any news on mackenzie ? maggie : well , unfortunately , sarah and eric learned that the chemo treatment , it was not successful , so mickey needs to have a bone marrow transplant . victor : oh , i 'm so sorry to hear that , maggie . maggie : well , both sarah and eric have been tested and we are just hoping that one of mickey 's parents will prove to be a match for their daughter .

[ baby cooing ] sarah : she still feels guilty for being drunk the night that mickey was born and for not being there . eric : i was n't there , either . sarah : yeah , but that was my fault , not yours . i should have never kept the truth about mickey from you . never . eric : listen , we 've already discussed this and you had your reasons . i 'd gone back to nicole and you did n't wan na feel like a burden . sarah : i know , but it was -- it was a mistake . eric : i 've forgiven you . sarah : yeah ? what about nicole ? eric : what about nicole ? sarah : you still have n't forgiven her , have you ? eric : it does n't matter . the only thing that matters is saving our daughter 's life .

[ scene_break ] marlena : stefano . i gave you muscle relaxants , not aspirin . you 're not going to be able to move your limbs . can you speak ? stefano : [ slowly ] yes . marlena : can you speak loudly ? stefano : no . marlena : good . what i actually gave you are neuromuscular blockers . now , they 're gon na wear off pretty soon , so i need you to listen very carefully and give me your undivided attention so i can tell you what we 're going to do . you see , i mixed up a drug cocktail that i 'm going to inject into you . stefano : you 're crazy . guards . guards . guards . marlena : do n't do that . just be quiet and listen . this drug is going to completely paralyze you . and it will put you into an apparent catatonic state . you 'll still be aware of what 's going on around you . you 'll know exactly what 's happening . but outwardly , you are going to be a vegetable . now , this -- this condition of yours is never going to improve . it 's permanent . so you will then be committed to an asylum , where you will spend the rest of your long life being trapped inside your body . stefano : you ca n't do this . marlena : i can do this . i am doing this . this is not about revenge . but i realized if i have any hope of recovering my john , i must make sure that you are completely incapacitated . you know the really great thing about this mixture ? it 's completely untraceable . they 're gon na think you had a stroke . stefano : you 're insane . marlena : no . this is the most sane thing i have ever done . stefano : i wo n't let you do this . marlena : you 're in no condition to make demands . i know how much you like to control things . but right now , i 'm controlling the shots . stefano : ha . you 're a doctor , marlena , not a monster . i wo n't let you do this . marlena : this is not something that i want to do , stefano . it 's something that i have to do . it does n't make me proud . it does n't give me any joy , because if it did , i would be no better than you are . and i am better than you are . i 'm not a monster . i actually hate that it 's come to this . but i had to find a way to make my family safe and find a way to bring my husband back from the shell of a man you turned him into . stefano : you 're bluffing . there is no drug that can do what you say . [ scene_break ] roman : so , you did n't know where you were gon na take the little girl . rob : no , i did n't . abe : but crystal did . roman : whew . that is very convenient , rob . rob : i mean , it was out of the country . that 's all i know . abe : well , all ports of call and the airports are being watched . rob : look , if they want out of the country , they 'll get out , if they have n't already . and once they 're gone , i guarantee you 'll never find them . [ scene_break ] chelsea : he , uh -- he had drugged us , so we were gon na do the same thing to him . he was invited to the theta house . and he was a little weirded out when he got there and saw me , but he came in anyway . i asked him if he wanted a drink and he said yeah . so we crushed up some pills into powder , and then we poured it into his drink . we never meant to knock him out or anything . we just -- we just wanted him to get really sleepy and woozy . and the girls were all in cordy 's room . and they listened while i hung out with ford . he wanted me to try some of his drink . he did n't trust me . crawford : he had damn good reason not to . steve : let her talk . chelsea : the drug was n't affecting him , but it was affecting me a lot . and when he saw how out of it i was , he tried to attack me . so i screamed , and i tried to get him off me . and that 's when the other girls ran out to help . and i ran up the stairs to get away from him , but he caught me . he grabbed me by my hair . i thought he was gon na kill me . and then he just got ... really dizzy , and he fell . and ... and then he was ... dead . crawford : what do you mean he was dead ? did you try cpr ? did somebody call 911 ? did anybody even try to help the boy ? stephanie : they 're not gon na understand . no one is gon na believe us . you should n't have said anything . steve : everybody just needs to calm down a little bit , let everybody catch their breath here . chelsea : he was dead , mr. decker . crawford : i just -- you just stood there and watched my boy die ? you did n't try to save him ? chelsea : we did everything we could . we did cpr . we felt for a pulse . he was gone . crawford : you probably pushed him ! nick : hey ! crawford : get off of me ! get off ! get off me . steve : stay back ! [ scene_break ] roman : okay , rob . let me get this straight . you got a boss you never saw or talked to paying you to grab claire and belle . rob : yeah . abe : so you never worked for stefano . rob : one of the few instructions i did see was to stay far away from stefano . crystal really hated the man . and she was afraid of him . bo : you think he 's lying ? hope : i do n't know . there 's definitely something about this guy . rob : wait . i just thought of something . this might be something you can use . it might help you find crystal . you find crystal , you find that girl . [ scene_break ] stefano : wait . marlena : hmm ? stefano : what you 're doing can be detected . someone will discover it . marlena : they 'd have to look . and considering who you are , why would they ? stefano : what you are doing will not solve your problem . neutralizing me will not get you john back . it only makes it impossible for you to fix his mind . marlena : we 'll figure out a way . stefano : you can not . since i am the only one who scrambled his brains , i am the only one that can unscramble them . marlena : i do n't believe you . stefano : i can prove it , marlena . marlena : fine . one last reprieve . what was john 's mission ? [ scene_break ] crawford : i want my son . and i want justice for my boy . chelsea : mr. decker , it was an accident . crawford : when someone has an accident , they call the police . why did n't you call 911 ? chelsea : we did n't call 911 because there was nothing that anyone could do . he was already gone . stephanie : and we did n't call the police because they would n't have believed us . no one would . crawford : because you 're both liars . steve : that 's enough of that . chelsea : look , we tried to get help before it all happened . you know that . no one would do anything . stephanie : he does n't care . crawford : you 're right . i do n't care . what i care about is my boy . what did you do with his body ? [ scene_break ] john : the mission . the mission . john : obbin . obbin . obbin . come on , obbin . where are you ? who ? what -- [ keyboard keys clacking ] talk to me , obbin . talk to me . got you . there you are . [ scene_break ] marlena : all right . this is your one and only chance . tell me . what was the mission ? stefano : not until john completes his mission , any rest . marlena : that was not the question . stefano : i 'll give you your john back . marlena : and how will you do that ? stefano : i downloaded the contents of his life . i can return his mental faculties . marlena : you are such a liar . but the question is , how long will you lie ? and the answer is never again . because if you ca n't speak , you ca n't lie . stefano : what do you want ? marlena : i want to see you punished for all the people that you have hurt . all righty , now , one ... two ... three . could n't wait . this is for shawn ... and caroline and roman ... and my twins ... and bo and hope and me . and the last drop is for john . [ scene_break ] marlena : there . all done . stefano : i curse you , marlena evans . i curse the entire brady family . marlena : and with that , you can rest . although i do n't think it will be in peace . stefano : peace . i thought samantha and elvis ' marriage would bring peace . marlena : you never wanted peace . stefano : i grew up ... never knowing peace , marlena . i saw my father die for the love of a brady . it filled me with anger ... hatred . but i thought , at least if he could fulfill this life -- the love in this life for him , he will find peace . marlena : samantha did her part . why did you go after john ? stefano : you are such a fool , marlena . you have no idea how much you do not know . but i know . and i am never going to tell you . he is mine . and he will never rest until he fulfills his destiny . [ exhales sharply ] [ groans ] you want to know what the mission is , huh ? marlena : yes , i do . stefano : you 'll never know until it 's over . [ chuckles ] and you 'll never be able to stop him . [ scene_break ] roman : so , are you gon na tell us ? rob : there were several times when crystal and i were together where she used another name , an alias . she even had a passport with her picture and that phony name . abe : and that name was ? rob : desiree wilson . [ scene_break ] crawford : what did you do with his body ? stephanie : chelsea . chelsea : we buried it . crawford : in the basement . chelsea : no . yes , at first , but then we moved him . crawford : who helped you ? chelsea : what do you mean ? crawford : a man left the front of your house wearing my son 's clothes . he helped you move my boy 's body , did n't he ? were you the one wearing my son 's clothes ? chelsea : no , it was n't nick . no . crawford : then who was it ? chelsea : i do n't know . crawford : tell me where you buried him . chelsea : i do n't know . crawford : then who knows ? chelsea : we do n't know where his body is . that 's the truth . crawford : someone took him and buried him . i want to know who and where . steve : stay back . stay back , man . if she does n't know , she does n't know . chelsea : we were scared . steve : chelsea , that 's enough . crawford : anyone that has anything to do with this or anyone that gets in my way will pay . [ scene_break ] marlena : i know you can hear me . you are such a bad man . you are evil through and through . you will never hurt anybody with your evil again . it 's gon na stay right there inside you , festering , eating away at you . you know , i ca n't even imagine how that 's going to feel , being tortured like that every single day of your life . i think you 'll want to die . but your doctors wo n't let you . they 'll try to help you . they 'll try to restore your health . and they wo n't be able to . and then you will try desperately to cry out to them , to tell them that you 're there . you can hear and you can see and you can think , but nothing will come out of your mouth . your fingers wo n't work . your toes wo n't work . you 're going to spend the rest of your long life trapped inside that flesh - covered jail . are you afraid that john and i wo n't come to see you ? do n't you worry . when i get my john back , we 'll pay you a visit . and he will look down into your seemingly empty eyes . you wo n't be able to say a thing . you wo n't be able to speak . you wo n't be able to do anything . anything . guard . i 'm afraid mr. dimera has suffered a stroke .

[ scene_break ] max : i know . i know . your mom told me . look , chelsea , i appreciate you trying to protect me , but you did n't have to do that . i was the one who helped them . i took ford 's body away .

[ scene_break ] nick : i think he might be right . okay , what do you say we get out of here ? you 've been through enough . chelsea : yeah . kayla : we all have . maybe we should let the dust settle so we can all just get our heads clear . steve : we got to just think about what happened , what 's gon na happen , and how we 're gon na deal with it . okay , everybody do that ? stephanie : mm - hmm . max : mm - hmm . chelsea : we 'll see you later , steph . max : bye , guys .

nicole : because , there are things in your professional life that you ca n't talk about . the same goes with my job . eric : no , daniel , the reason she did n't tell you is because then nicole would have to admit that she can do anything she wants to get back at serena . nicole : [ scoffs ] as a matter of fact , that is not true . i almost did n't follow up with this lead , because i 'd just soon forget about you and your little friend here . but now that i 've seen the way serena 's been acting , i now more than ever find it my responsibility to expose the truth . eric : you do n't even have a speaking acquaintance with the truth . nicole : i 'm sorry you have to hear this , eric . but serena is not the same woman you knew if africa . and she 's not the woman that melanie thinks of as a friend . what she is , is a monster . serena : i want that drive back . any information on it belongs to me . it 's private and confidential . nicole : not for long it is n't . serena : i have the law on my side , nicole . i can send you to jail , and this time i will . i let you off the hook for all the other stunts you pulled because i felt sorry for you . nicole : oh , well , thanks . you 're such a humanitarian . eric : serena is one of the nicest human beings i 've ever known . nicole : [ laughs ] well t then you do n't now her at all . you know what , we can open this drive on your computer and then you and eric can see for yourselves . daniel : okay , i do n't know who your sources is or what you think you have . what i do know is we ca n't look at what 's on that drive without serena 's permission . serena : and i 'm not giving it . nicole : well , i would n't either if i were you . but honestly , i do n't need you or this flash drive to expose the truth . i have another way of showing everyone exactly the kind of person you are . zoe : i 'm sorry , but this issue of the magazine closes tomorrow night and will is interviewing the subject of the cover article of this issue . and you ca n't know who the subject of the story is until after the magazine comes out . surely you understand . sonny : yeah , i guess i do . zoe : what if i take the rose for you and give it to will when he 's available ?

chad : no , she would n't do that . stefano : do n't tell me she actually matters to you . jordan : well , i guess this proves no good deed goes unpunished . kate : okay , well i do n't understand that , so ... jordan : look , i do n't care . okay ?

kate : okay , now i do n't know what you 're talking about . jordan : what did you tell him ? kate : well , let 's see . i think i remember telling him that since you left poplar bluff your entire life has been a lie . and then , i think i told him that you are untrustworthy . i mean , do you mean to tell me that he 's actually listening to me ? jordan : how do you live with yourself ? kate : oh , oh , and then i think i might have told him that you are the slut of the physical therapy department . [ laughing ] or maybe he figured that out himself . jordan : you really enjoy causing pain . kate : only for certain people , tammy sue . and right now , you 're on the top of that list . stefano : you said that you 're only dallying with jordan ridgeway so that you could stick it to the brother . chad : well , it worked . i goaded him into punching me in front of abe carver and john black , they arrested him and charged him with assault . stefano : good . good . now , you forget the ridgeways and focus on seducing abigail , all right ? and getting your revenge . chad : i know that 's the plan , but -- stefano : but , never mind but . there are no buts . i mean , what -- are you a man or not ? chad : you know i am . stefano : [ chuckles ] convince me , all right ? focus on business instead of this romantic claptrap , okay ? get this done . paul : i have my issues with my mother . but i would n't let her find out that i 'm gay by reading it in a magazine . i asked her to come to salem . and to bring my grandfather too . will : that 's great , when do they get here ? paul : they do n't . she wo n't come . will : why not ? paul : i did n't feel like pushing her about her reasons . will : what choice do you have ? paul : i 'll call her and tell her before the article 's published . will : why are you waiting ? paul : look , my mother is my business . the important thing is that i 'm coming out . will : and you 're sure about this ? paul : absolutely . look , i 've been thinking about everything you said . and i decided you 're right . i 'd been a professional athlete -- a successful one . and that puts me in a position to make a lot of young people out there feel better about themselves . i really want to do that . will : paul , why not just tell that to your mom ? paul : the thing is -- no matter how she feels about the fact that i 'm gay , she not gon na like me going in to the press about it -- letting you write this article . but if i wait until there 's nothing that i can do to stop the article from being published , then there 's less for her and me to argue about . what 's the smile for ? will : i totally get what you 're saying . paul : look , i read the article you wrote about your mom . and no offense , but sammy brady makes my mom look like a pushover . will : [ laughs ] my mom is great . i love her and no one has got my back like she does . but we 've had some pretty serious differences . but , despite that , our relationship has survived . paul : that 's good to know . will : the deadline for the final draft of this article is tomorrow , midday . i 'll get a copy to you for your approval before i submit it to my editor . paul : okay , great . we done ? will : yeah . paul , you 're gon na be glad that you did this . paul : i think i will too . and if i had n't met you , i might never have done it . so , thanks again . john : hey , kid . thanks for meeting me . sonny : yeah , no problem . what 's on your mind ? john : well , you , will . marlena and i were a little concerned about the two of you and i just wanted to make sure that you 're okay . zoe : sonny dropped this off while you were interviewing paul . i talked him into leaving it with me . do you have everything you need to finish this article ? will : i think so . i even have a title . zoe : `` the final out `` . that 's catchy . but i hope you have n't spent all this extra time just trying to come up with a title . will : no , i have been doing way more than that . zoe : like what ? will : [ sniffs ] like the most important word in that title . his out . zoe : oh , my god , paul narita is -- he 's gay ? will : yeah . zoe : and sonix is breaking the story ? this is an exclusive ? will : and we 're doing it with paul 's full cooperation . serena : you 're blowing smoke . nicole : no , i 'm not . and you know it . eric : why do n't you knock off the innuendos and the vague references ? daniel : okay , you need to share specifics . eric : you ca n't , can you ? nicole : you do n't deserve this , eric . you do n't deserve to put your faith into another woman who 's lying to you . but [ chuckles ] , it happened . daniel : um , you said you have a way to back up your claims without the flash drive . why do n't you start doing that , right now .

ted : no . no , it was n't . it turned into something more . at least i thought so . nicole : and then what happened ? ted : well , my computer had a lot of miles on it . and , uh , i lost a couple of things that we were working on . remember ? and -- and serena suggested that we put all of my writing and the research onto her computer just in case . i was already spending so much time at her place anyway . i agreed . daniel : well , how come you did n't buy a new computer ? ted : the money . this was the first big assignment i had gotten , and it was supposed to be a career changer . nicole : and was it ? ted : no , serena dumped me before the article was published . and when it was , my name was n't in the byline . in fact , it was n't anywhere in the piece . and when i tried to gain credit for it , there was no proof . and serena refused to back me up . and my career was pretty much over after that . serena : my god , edward , i had no idea that you still hated me this much . ted : after what you did ? how can i feel any other way ? eric : so this -- do you know what he 's talking about ? serena : yes , i do . sonny : i appreciate your concern , john . what ? john : just waiting to hear if i have any reason to be concerned . sonny : no , you do n't . i mean , yes . things were a little rocky when will was in los angeles . john : mm - hmm . sonny : and after he came back . i just really missed him and ari . john : yeah . sonny : and then the new club was just -- ugh -- a total disaster . so i was kind of in a rotten place . john : yeah , well a separation like that can be rough on any couple . believe me , i know . sonny : i guess you would . john : yeah . listen , i 'm sorry about the hit you took on the new business . sonny : thank you . i 'll survive . and will and i , we 're working things out . as long as i have his love and trust , there 's nothing we ca n't handle . will : grandma , what are you doing here ?

kate : uh , he 's not sure . why are you -- why are you asking ? will : i 've been thinking a lot about what happened . about what i did and , um , sonny -- sonny and i promised that we would never keep secrets from each other . kate : okay , look . honey , couples make a lot of promises to each other in the beginning before they have a real understanding of what it takes to stick to those promises . you and i both know what you did , there is no good reason why sonny should know that . what good would that do ? sonny : i have to tell sonny what happened with paul . kate : you are never going to see paul again . kate : he 's in the past . unless of course , you think you 're falling in love with him . jordan : what do you want ? chad : i know what you did . you owe me an explanation . introducing light & fit protein shakes , will : why would you even ask me that ? kate : because i thought it was a reasonable question . will : well , it 's not . you 're insinuating that i am so shallow that i would fall in love with someone that i barely know . kate : honey , it happens to the best of us . will : well , it does n't happen to me . i love sonny . sonny 's the only one that i love . kate : you know , paul narita is really charming , he 's really good looking . he 's a bonafide star . and he 's doing something so heroic by coming out like that . i ca n't believe that you would n't like to share just a little bit of that spotlight that he 's gon na be standing in . will : now that is insulting . kate : no , will , that would just make you human . will : you listen to me , okay ? i do not want to share anybody 's spotlight . kate : shh . will : i do not want to share anybody 's spotlight . yes , i have ambitions . who does n't ? but if i ever achieve any success , whether i am in the spotlight or not , it will be because i earned it on my own . kate : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry if i upset you . and will , i love you and i respect you . and all i want is for you to be happy , that 's all i want . will : i am happy . i love sonny , and we built a life together with my daughter . and i 'm not gon na let anybody destroy that . which is why i have to be honest about paul . kate : do you realize how much that would hurt sonny ? why do you want to do that ? how could you do that ? will : i - i do n't know . i - i - i -- no , i do n't want -- kate : then listen to me . paul is almost finished with his physical therapy , he 's going to be leaving town , you 're never gon na have to see him again . will : so , wait i just walk around with this feeling inside of me ? kate : yes . yes . yes , that 's what you 're going to do , that 's what you have to do . that 's the price you pay for cheating . and if there 's any consolation , this article and paul 's bravery , well that 's gon na change lives , okay ? but do n't ruin sonny 's life . do n't fix it so that every time someone mentions your article it breaks his heart . do n't make him have to think about what you did to get that story . will : that 's not why i slept with him . kate : okay . then why did you sleep with paul ? why did you cheat on sonny ? john : if things start getting rough again just , uh , do me a favor and remember that you have a lot of people on both sides of the family that love you a lot . so do n't let a silly thing called pride get in the way of asking for some help , okay ? sonny : i 'll try not to . john : all right . 'cause i kind of know that pride and stubbornness are a couple of expensive luxuries that can end up costing you the most important thing in your life . sonny : seems like you 're speaking from experience . john : i am . sonny : but you and marlena seem to be , like , you know working things out . john : oh , we are . and like you , i am determined to make sure nothing gets in the way of that happening . [ cell phone rings ] marlena : hello ? stefano : cara , how are you doing ? marlena : stefano , what do you want ? stefano : oh , i was just wondering what you think about the big news . marlena : what big news ? stefano : that at this late stage of his life , john is going back to such a dangerous profession . jordan : you 're kidding me , right ? chad : mm , i 'm serious . jordan : you are the one that ended whatever it is that we had going . chad : you think i did that for no reason ? jordan : i do n't know why you did it , and frankly i do n't care , all right ? i have had enough crazy in my life and i am done with it . chad : so you 're not even curious ? jordan : i do n't have to be . all right ? i know what you think . and you are not the person that i thought you were . you are the person people told me you are . chad : which people ? jordan : i do not owe you an explanation or anything else , all right ? it is over between us and believe me , i am okay with that . so why do n't you get the hell out of here . serena : edward and i -- ted : it 's ted now . i 'm trying to reinvent myself . serena : we worked together on my last big assignment . for a while . ted : you mean until you edged me out and claimed all the credit for it . after you stole all my work . check her computer , you 'll see what i 'm talking about . serena : i did keep extensive records of the work we did . and if nicole managed to download my entire hard drive she has all of that . daniel : but we 'd need a warrant to look at it . unless you give us permission . nicole : i do n't think serena 's in a position to call the shots here . eric : why do n't we let a cop decide that . serena has grounds to file a complaint and let me tell you , while she 's on the phone with the police department , i 'm gon na be lining up a lawyer to defend her against your claim . serena : eric , thank you . really . but i do n't want to do it that way . nicole : i bet you do n't . serena : the truth is gon na come out about all of this and it might as well be now . eric : you do n't want to fight this ? serena : no . i do n't . i ca n't ... with you here . and as much as i hate to admit it , nicole 's right about one thing . you need to know all about me . everything .

[ sighs ] [ chuckles ] woman : how are you doing in there baby girl ? [ somber music ] victor : maggie and i would like to thank you all for joining us in this very difficult occasion . we 're here to mourn the passing of dr. daniel jonas . he was so many things . he was maggie 's son , melanie and parker 's father , nicole 's fiancée , and a surgeon 's surgeon , and a friend to everyone in this room , and so many others . i had the good fortune to be his godfather and watch him grow up . i wish i could wax philosophical about the meaning of this day , but i ca n't . this does n't make any sense . daniel was our rock , the one that we turned to ... till he was taken from us by a freak accident . now we 're asked to find a new way to soldier on without him , as patently unfair as that is . but what i thought was if each of us could say what daniel meant to them , we might find a ... a beginning for this grim journey . maggie : and although i feel cheated out of so much time with my son , daniel ... he left me with the gift of beautiful grandchildren . i see him in melanie ... and in parker , every time i look at you . i believe in an afterlife , and i am comforted by the knowledge that my son , daniel , his soul is with those of his loving parents who raised him ... to be the man who made me so proud . jennifer : daniel saved my life ... figuratively and literally . and that 's why i would give anything on this earth if i could 've returned the favor when he needed it the most . and our relationship , it ... it ended in one sense . but i got to know him all over again as my friend . and because of that , as sad as this day is ... i 'm a very lucky woman . chloe : and maggie and melanie , since you are parker 's family , you will always be my family as well , and i will do everything i can to keep daniel alive in his son 's heart for as long as i live . brady : um ... i am reminded with every beat of my heart ... that i received probably the greatest gift that a friend can give to another friend . so , uh , maggie , melanie , parker , and nic , i promise to you that i will not take for granted the gift that i 've been given . melanie : um ... every time i come up against a tough situation , where it 's so important to do what 's right , even if it 's not maybe the easiest , i just think , `` what would my dad do ? `` jj : almost everybody here knows all the stuff that daniel did for me , and for as long as i live , i will never forget that , or him . nicole : um ... i , uh , i ca n't . i 'm sorry , i do n't -- i do n't have anything to say . maggie : please , everyone , uh , help yourself to , uh , food and drink , and stay as long as you like . chloe : hey . honey , listen , i know that this is really , really hard , but maybe you should try to say something . nicole : i ca n't . if i try to , if i -- if i see parker , i 'm -- i 'm gon na lose it . i know it , and i -- i wo n't do that to him . your little man has been through enough . melanie : hey , i hope i 'm not hurting you . brady : hmm , i 'm good . so good to see you . melanie : you too . brady : i do n't even know how to say how grateful i am for -- melanie : you do n't . you do n't have to . this is what my dad would 've wanted . i mean , if you had been taken too ... theresa : i do n't mean to interrupt . melanie , i just want to say how incredibly sorry i am about your dad , and how incredibly sorry i am in general . melanie : maggie tells me you two are really good parents . theresa : she did ? melanie : i hope you guys are really happy together . brady : i do n't know what to say . melanie : [ sighs ] oh , hi . you need a hug ? oh !

[ r & b song plays in brady 's mind ] nicole : and love most of all . no you 're never gon na come back never gon na come back nicole : daniel looked at life and death every day . it seemed to give him this innate sense of what really mattered , and maybe -- i do n't know , maybe that 's why he had this amazing ability to make his patients and the people that he loved feel like they really mattered too . come here , buddy . roman : eric ! that was you , was n't it ? eric : what are you talking about ? roman : now i know why you wanted to be alone after you made bail . you wanted to put up a notice at st. luke 's . eric : made a few phone calls . roman : eric , come back with me . be with your friends . grieve with them . eric : i ca n't do that . roman : son , if they 're honoring daniel , then they know daniel was a forgiving man . they will accept you . eric : dad , you want that to be true because you love me , but i know what i did , and asking them to accept me , let alone forgive me , is asking too much . nicole : hey . i saw you come over here . are you okay ? do you need help ? brady : no , i 'm okay . nicole , i , um , uh , when i heard you talking , i had a -- i had a memory . nicole : one of daniel 's memories ? brady : it 's not one of mine , i can tell you that . this is something new . woman : how are you doing in there baby girl ? brady : i heard that same song again in my -- in my dream .

leo : no . he did n't deliver the goods , so neither did i . but that does not mean you are off the hook . sonny : what does that mean ? leo : it means i 'm horny . and if you do n't make me happy -- often -- i can still give xander those photos . or i can give them to the press ... or to the cops . so many options , really , all of them bad for you . makes my head spin . leo : come on , sonny . what 's the big deal ?

will : uh , that 's a good question . uh , rolf actually developed a serum that could counteract the -- the side effect of the drug . jack : you 're kidding . will : yep , it took a couple of injections , but then stuff started coming back to me , and now i , uh -- i remember everything . jack : all right . so -- so where is this drug ? where do i get it ? jennifer : well , the fda has it right now . kayla told me that the hospital had to turn it over to the fda for testing , and -- and -- and it 's just a long process , jack . jack : long . okay , long . how long is long ? jennifer : i do n't know . i mean , it could take years , but -- jack : years ? oh , great . never -- never mind . will : what about , uh , rolf 's original notes from his diary ? jennifer : seth burns lost it , apparently . jack : oh , this gets better and better , does n't it ? jennifer : i know , jack . i know . jack : that -- that 's all right . okay , will , you tell me , are you glad that you got your memory back ? will : um ... well , it was -- it was a big relief , but at the same time , it did make my life a little more complicated than it had been . jack : complicated , complicated . will : yes . jack : how ? will : well , um , when your memory is a blank slate , you can kind of -- you can reinvent yourself , you know ? you can choose who you want to be . but when it all comes back , you have to live with the -- you know , with the memories of the things that you did that you regret . jack : right . right . i got that . will : but even if you do n't get your memory back , you do n't live in that , uh -- that guilt - free state that you 're in when you first open your eyes , you know ? jack : oh , yeah . yeah , that phase is over pretty quick , is n't it ? will : so whether you want to or not , you know you hurt people . sometimes it 's the people that you really , really love . xander : yes . all i have to do is turn this over to some deserving soul , and they 'll mix up a big batch of that serum . and soon word will spread of this miracle cure for amnesia , and jack will come running to take his medicine and then go running back to his deserving , grateful family . eve : ugh . xander : and poor old eve , oh , she 'll be stuck out on her ass again . clock 's ticking , love . eve : xander , what do you expect me to do ? i 'm not the one that blew it with victor . you did that all by yourself . xander : what you gave me was n't big enough to overcome victor 's hatred . eve : oh , my god , victor hates me too . but i had to convince him that he needed me . then we were able to work together . i mean , what have you got to offer him as a ceo ? all you know is hurting people and killing . so , you know , why do n't you leave town ? 'cause everybody hates your guts . xander : not everyone . more than one person found me quite desirable . sarah : you heard eric before he left . it 's pretty clear that he wants nothing to do with me . rex : well , i 'll go talk to him . sarah : no . rex : let me talk to him . i 'll tell him it 's my fault . sarah : just let it be . you 've done enough ! rex : look , just ... okay , come on , please do n't go anywhere . i just -- sarah : i just said i do n't want you to talk to him . rex : i do n't want to talk about eric . i want to talk about us and where we go from here . eric : sarah and i , we 've gotten really close since she came back to salem , and , uh ... you know , she 's been kind to me after i lost nicole . she 's been supportive , you know , when chloe and i were arguing about who would raise holly . marlena : yeah . y - you said that you -- you ca n't believe what she did to you . eric : i found her in bed with xander . marlena : what ? eric : yeah . you know , i mean , how could she do that to herself , i mean , to me ? marlena : well , my first thought is , i 'm -- i 'm not sure it has anything to do with you . eric : no , it did . marlena : why ? why do you think so ? eric : because before she slept with xander , she was trying to have sex with me . she was determined to make rex pay for what he did . marlena : with mimi ? eric : no , because he slept with n -- he slept with noelle . marlena : oh , her sister . well , no wonder she was distraught . eric : mom , i was n't very sensitive to it at all . i pushed her away , and she ran out , and before i realized what i 'd done to her , i ... [ sighs ] she ran back to the kiriakis mansion , and there was xander , who -- who pushed -- he was n't pushing her away . he took advantage of her because he hates me . i mean , how could he do that , or how -- marlena : okay , calm down . let me ask you something . are you upset because sarah slept with the man that -- that killed nicole or because sarah slept with anybody ? eric : what are you saying ? what , that i 'm , like , jealous ? marlena : no , i 'm not saying that . i 'm just asking you the question . br ushing only reaches 25 % of your mouth . eve : well , goody for you , xander . somebody finds you desirable . i guess there 's a lid for every pot . frankly , i 'd rather slit my wrists than ever have you touch me . xander : what i want from you is n't a shag . eve : what , you want money ? xander : you do n't have enough of it to make it worth my while . eve : well , then what else is there ? 'cause all you seem to care about is sex and your rightful place in the kiriakis family . but that 's never gon na happen , because you blew that a hell of a long time ago . xander : all i know is that you are useful to me ... eve : [ sighs ] xander : especially now . but i refuse to leave salem empty - handed . but i might lie low for a while . i 've had enough drama . right now ... i just want to have a good time . eve : [ sighs ] xander : but i promise , as soon as i work it out to use you in my plans , i 'll be in touch .

[ chuckles ] no , not at all . no , it seemed rather urgent . and every time i mentioned to him to meet face - to - face , he turned me down . so i grew highly suspicious . and then i decided that i was gon na give my shares to my brother to help him in his fight against gabi . john : interesting . so -- so tell me something . could you make contact with your father again ? anna : well , he could . but he won't . gabi : okay , so the photographer 's gon na meet us tomorrow . i 'm still waiting to hear back from the caterer , the florist , and the dj . eli : we also need a venue . gabi : right . yeah . it 's a lot . look , we can totally have a small wedding , or we could just elope . it 's fine . eli : gabriella hernandez , i want to marry you in front of all of my friends and family so they can see how happy you 've made me . plus , julie would die if she did n't get to come to our wedding . gabi : yeah . lani : gabi does n't like my top ? you know , i wonder how she would feel about my shoe connecting with her -- jj : i know you 're upset . but you have to focus . okay ? we know that they 've set a date . we have to act fast . lani : yeah . you 're right . but man , i would really like to give that monster a piece of my mind . anna : stefano dimera is pure evil . and i do n't want that twisted old spider dragging tony back into his web . i mean , he does nothing but suck the life blood out of his children . and he does n't even have the guts to show his face ? tony : all right , darling . it 's all right , darling . anna : no . all i ever wanted was to be with my tony . but stefano ruined it . he ripped my world apart . he 's destroyed thousands of lives . and he 's never even paid for any of it . tony : sweetheart , it 's okay . anna : no , tony . nothing that snake ever did would be okay . and i said that to him the last time i saw him . he was locked up in a cage , like the animal that he is . i looked him right in the eye and i said , `` you 're going straight to hell . `` and now i realize , i think he 's already there . because he 's all alone . and even his own son is sickened by him . no , stefano dimera is nothing but a weak , pathetic coward . steve : for god 's sake , woman , would you just shut the hell up ? marlena : mm -- oh . john , would you give me a call as soon you can ? we , uh ... we 've got ta talk about hope . hope : finally . a moment of peace . kate : i have had it . i wan na know what you and stefano are up to -- now . rafe : hey . did you talk to your mother ? shawn : yeah . yeah , i did . rafe : well , what 'd she say ? shawn : she said that she thinks that you 're having trouble getting over the divorce and , uh , you do n't wan na let her go . rafe : well , what do you think ? shawn : i do n't think my mom 's lying ... because i do n't think that that woman is my mother . | eli had a dream he was still with lani . he woke up with gabi beside him and she noticed how happy he was while he was sleeping . they talked about setting a wedding date and he wanted to get married on valentine 's day . the day reminded her of leo stark , but she was willing to do it . they kissed when he noticed her phone . he asked her why her phone had his grandmother 's name on it . she got lucky because he only thought she was texting her about wedding plans without him . jj and lani talked about getting alerts from julie 's pacemaker . he thought they should tell the police , but lani was against it . jj told her that eli and gabi were engaged . she was upset about the news . he informed her that he agreed to be eli 's best man . she thought that could help them expose gabi . jj suggested getting theo to break into the app . she agreed that it was a good idea . gabi and eli showed up so lani had to hide . they told him the wedding date . he let them think he had company over so they could leave . they wanted him to bring her to the wedding . they left and lani came back in the room . needless to say , she was upset by what she heard . shawn asked rafe what was going on with his mother . rafe told him about the things he 's seen her do . he even told him about her smoking and flirting with john . shawn suddenly realized what happened . marlena and john talked about his trip . he was convinced that stefano was no match for him and steve . stefano was watching him while he was talking to marlena . he got upset when he heard john talking about him to her . he broke the glass he was holding . john walked off so stefano realized it was time to get marlena . |

[ scene_break ] chad : it wa n't revealing ... what does that mean ? revealing in what way ? kristen : well , it 's just that i had n't seen father in a long time . for a moment , i almost did n't recognize him . chad : you did n't recognize stefano dimera ? one of the most infamous faces in town ? kristen : i said , i almost did n't recognize him . and then he said something to me that made it undeniable stefano : what do you say ? kristen : [ breathing shakily ] _ stefano : [ speaking italian ] la mia bellissima figlia . kristen : you used to say that to me when i was a little girl . my beautiful daughter . steve : you are still my little girl . _ kristen : and then i realized of course it was him . our father 's come back to us . _ kristen : please ... please ...

[ scene_break ] steve : i 'm not missing anything , john . john : okay , good . then why the hell are you sticking up for stefano ? steve : i 'm sticking up for common sense . we 're wasting time listening to her whine and complain instead of finding the man . tony : you really should watch your tone . steve : come on , tony . even you can admit that her anger and resentment toward her father - in - law is out of line . anna : is totally justified . it 's the least that monster deserves . steve : monster . is that how you think of your father , tony ? tony : will you just let her speak ? anna : yes . thank you , darling . and yes , stefano is a monster . he kept tony and me apart for two decades . he 's done horrific things to all of us , and i will never ever forgive him . tony : nor do you have to . john : i think we all agree here that the old man has tried to destroy our lives at one time or another , right ? tony : surely , steve , you can admit that my wife has a right to say this . john : steve ? steve : all right . i 'll admit that . as long as you admit to the fact that your wife is a major pain in the ass . [ scene_break ] rafe : so that is hope , but she thinks she 's gina . shawn : well , i mean given everything that you 've told me , and -- and the vibe that i got from her , i mean that 's what i feel is happening . rafe : okay , well how can we be sure ? shawn : okay , let 's look at the facts . all right ? she mishandled evidence at stefano 's lair . gina was n't a cop . and plus , she probably does n't want you to find anything . rafe : was gina a smoker ? shawn : absolutely . and we also know that she made a pass at john , and gina 's always been in love with john . rafe : right . shawn : and then you said something about a tiara , right ? rafe : well , they found a tiara at the loft , and i -- i thought maybe stefano and given it to marlena as queen of the night . shawn : well , it sounds to me more like something that princess gina would wear . rafe : right . my god . could this really be happening ? shawn : i mean , look at the way that she barged in here . she barged in here , and she did n't even notice me . i mean , i just flew in from hong kong and my own mother just walks right past me . my mom would never do that . i mean if anything , she 's over - protective of her kids . rafe : i 've definitely seen that . shawn : and gina hates me . hates me . and that hug . that hug was ... it felt forced . rafe : she was making herself do it . shawn : exactly . and then she does n't even mention anything about her granddaughter , claire . everything that claire 's been through she does n't even seem ... no questions , no concerns , nothing . rafe : she would have had 100 questions . shawn : or more . that alone tells us that she is not my mother . rafe : okay . okay , so let 's say this is possible . let 's say that hope is gina . who the hell 's responsible ? shawn : it 's the same person who was responsible last time ... stefano dimera . [ scene_break ] john : whoa , whoa , partner . i think we all need to chill out here a little bit . steve : i will not chill out . and you know what ? you twoy -- you and you -- were n't around the last time we went hunting for stefano . we were so close to capturing him when this one showed up and fired a shot at me and him , and it hit me . anna : oh , the bullet barely grazed you . steve : there 's a scar on this body that would disprove that theory . anna : and i say that if you had n't gotten in the way of that bullet , then stefano would be dead today , and the world would be a better place . steve : as if a bullet has ever stopped the phoenix . he always rises from the ashes . [ scene_break ] shawn : it had been months before we figured out what stefano had done to my mom . i mean , we had gina living as my mom/ sll the while she 's plotting against us , and she 's working for stefano . rafe : that would be the perfect revenge for hope shooting him . shawn : that 's exactly what i was thinking . so he 's resurfaced . rafe : i think so . shawn : and i know that rolf in town . rolf is always willing to do stefano 's bidding . rafe : hmm . so rolf was the one who was responsible for doing this to hope last time ? shawn : yeah . yeah . i mean , who else ? rafe : oh my god . rolf was in town about a year ago when hope started acting differently . i know he had access to the hospital lab . shawn : i mean , then it all makes sense . stefano wanted revenge , so he had rolf figure out a way to get rid of my mom and bring princess gina back from the dead . rafe : so what do we do now ? [ scene_break ] gina : stay where you are . let us deal with this woman to woman . have a seat . kate : i already made it clear to stefano that i am not going to let anything bad happen to marlena . gina : as if he would allow me to harm her in any way . stefano may be a new man , but he 's still obsessed with that woman . and he sees this as his last chance to finally win her love . kate : you 're doing the same thing with john , princess . gina : no ... because unlike stefano and his queen of the night , john and i actually share a romantic history . a spark that simply needs reigniting . kate : that 's pretty twisted . gina : you 're just too cynical to believe in true love . kate : oh yeah , that 's right . that 's my problem . so are you going to tell me how this works ? gina : how what works ? kate : well , this impossible dream you have of riding off into the sunset with john and marlena . gina : well , i 'd hardly call it impossible . in fact , it 's going to be quite easy . and the best part -- the best part is that john and marlena are never going to see it coming . [ scene_break ] marlena : you mean that ? you do n't care if steve ever comes back to salem ? kayla : there 's nothing for him anymore here . his children are gone . adrienne 's dead . he and jack certainly do n't get along . marlena : you 're here . kayla : well , i 'm with justin now . and you heard steve . he made it pretty clear that he has moved on with another woman . and the way he spoke about her , well , it 's pretty certain that , uh , she has captured his heart . [ scene_break ] steve : say what you want about stefano dimera . he 's always beaten the odds . he 's outsmarted everyone who 's ever tried to take him down , all of you included . some might call him a genius . he 's always one step ahead and just out of reach . tony : until now . steve : well , i can tell you this . we 're never going to catch him as long as this deranged annie oakley keeps getting in the way . he 's miles too clever for that . anna : you know , steve , it sounds like you actually admire the man . steve : you 're right . i do . [ scene_break ] kristen : i assume father left because i refused to hand over my dimera stock . chad : did he say where he was going ? when he was coming back ? kristen : no , he was n't in the mood to discuss his travel itinerary , especially after i just disappointed him . chad : i just ca n't believe that he did n't trust me enough to meet me face to face . kristen : hey , i would n't take it personally . you know how father is . he 's just being cautious about who he reveals himself to . chad : there 's that word again . `` reveal . `` kristen : chad , come on . is it news to you that the father likes being secretive ? chad : he was willing to meet with you . kristen : yeah , but i demanded it . chad : so did i . kristen : i have something that he desperately needs . chad : something we all need . considering everything he 's been through ... how did he look ? kristen : [ laughs ] `` look ? `` chad : yeah . you said that you had trouble recognizing him , which means he looked differently than the last time you saw him . was it that rough ? kristen : actually ... actually , no . i mean for a man who 's been to hell and back he looked better than i expected . [ scene_break ] john : got to tell you , pal , never thought i 'd live to hear you say you admired stefano . anna : yeah , it sounds like crazy talk to me . steve : all i 'm saying is that he 's a worthy adversary . he 'll do anything he has to to survive . believe me . john : yeah , yeah , yeah . he 's a survivor . no one 's arguing that . steve : well , that 's why i do n't want to litigate the things he 's done in the past . i want to find him instead -- now . john : same here . steve : so tony , if you do n't have anything useful to add to our investigation , i would prefer it if you got out of the way . right , john ? john : well , you know what ? i do n't think i 'd quite put it in those terms . tony : and that 's because you 're not a rude , insulting ass . steve : rude ? why do n't you talk to your big mouth wife about that ? john : [ sighs ] anna : big mouth ? steve : that 's right . a big mouth that 's only going to get you and your husband in trouble . john : that 's enough . come on . tony : why is any of this anna 's fault ? steve : the woman is unhinged . anna : oh , i 'll show you unhinged . steve : you see what i mean ? john : stop , stop , stop . steve : you see what i mean ? john : stop , stop . tony : how would you feel if i was to assault kayla the way you have been assaulting anna ? you would n't stand for it , would you ? no . so i want you to apologize to my wife because otherwise , you and i are going to be having problems . [ scene_break ] shawn : we need to track down rolf from whatever he did to my mom ... we need to force him to undo it . rafe : yeah , that would be great , but rolf has left the country , and we have n't heard from him since . shawn : you do n't know where he 's at ? rafe : no , we do n't know where he 's at and stefano helped him escape , so it 's going to be hard to find him . shawn : damn . rafe : maybe we do n't go after the perpetrators . maybe we face it head - on . shawn : you mean confront princess gina ? no , no . last time i did that , she tried to kill me . rafe : it 's not princess gina in this time . it 's your mom . shawn : if the woman inside my mom 's body believes that she 's princess gina , i guarantee you that she 's not going to go down without a fight . [ scene_break ] gina : if stefano and i each do our jobs , it 's just a matter of time before john and marlena are ours . kate : so marlena is supposed to believe that john 's dead ? gina : and for john to simultaneously believe that she is dead . once they are rid of their partners -- well , as i just said , they shall be ours . kate : oh my god . okay . seriously , i 've heard enough . i am not going to sit by idly and let you try to fulfill these deranged plans , fantasies . gina : i would just love to see you try and stop us . kate : what are you going to do with that ? gina : i hope nothing . i 'm tired of your little threats . i think you should sit down ... and listen . [ scene_break ] rafe : look , i understand why you 're hesitant to confront gina after what she did to you last time . shawn : she may look like my mom , but for all intents and purposes , she is princess gina , and she is a lunatic . she is a -- a cold blooded killer . rafe : i understand that . i get it , but we ca n't just let her run around living life as hope . she 's armed . she 's dangerous . [ scene_break ] gina : you 're so determined to ruin everything . kate : i guess it 's just in my nature . gina : hmm . i was under the impression that you would be handsomely rewarded by stefano for supporting our endeavor . kate : endeavor , is that what we 're calling it now ? gina : it is not just my life at stake here . it is yours as well . kate : what are you going to do , princess ? are you going to shoot me ? gina : i should not have to because if you were to blow up our plan , you would lose everything that stefano promised you . oh , not to mention the fact that you would be charged as an accessory to our crimes . is that what you want ? kate : i just want to protect my friends . gina : then just be clear about something . if you even entertain the idea of throwing me or my dear friend stefano under the bus , your friends will not be able to save you , katherine . [ scene_break ] kayla : so have you heard anything further ? has steve confided in john about who this other woman is ? marlena : honey , i do n't know if this will make things better or worse . there is no other woman . kayla : i do n't understand . marlena : steve just said that so he could push you away . kayla : so he 's not seeing anyone ? marlena : no . kayla : well , that does n't make any sense . why would he need to push me away ? he was the one that left . marlena : yeah , i do n't know . i do n't know . it 's just -- it 's just what he said to john . kayla : yeah , but you heard him . he went on and on about how wonderful this woman is . how special . i looked in his face . he meant it . marlena : maybe it was an act . kayla : well , it sure felt real . maybe he lied to john . marlena : no , i do n't think so . kayla : i -- i am completely confused . marlena : yeah . look , if it turns out that there was no other woman ... will that change things for you ?

john : he swears that he will not need your involvement in any way , shape , or form . marlena : what does that mean ? john : it means he 's up to something , which means we got to get to the dimera compound on the double . we got to find out who the twins ' mother is while tony 's still laid up . marlena : i ca n't do that . i ca n't leave salem , leaving the twins in their new father 's care . bo : hope , i 'm going to prove to you you 're innocent . listen to me . you got to hang in there till i do . bo : you got to trust me . i am not going to give up until i nail the bastard who killed colin . belle : you live life for yourself . can you teach me how to do that ?

[ scene_break ] kate : it 's part of your over - the - top charm , but to make an accusation like this that claire is shawn 's daughter could just cause very unnecessary pain to a lot of people , okay ? bonnie : i notice you 're not saying it 's not true . kate : i 'm saying that it 's outrageous . bonnie : oh , i agree . it is flat - out outrageous for a man to pretend he 's the father of another man 's child . kate : philip is not pretending anything . bonnie : no , he 's not . poor thing . he 's clueless . but you 're not and i 'm not , so let 's cut the bull . claire belongs to shawn and not philip , and that 's just the plain , unvarnished truth . kate : oh , god . and how did you come to this farfetched conclusion , may i ask ? bonnie : you 're not the only snoop in town , kate , though the news came from my mimi . she got suspicious when philip was n't a -- was n't a match for baby claire 's blood type . kate : well , that 's not unheard of . bonnie : and belle and shawn were . so she mentioned to me how she was wondering , and then i heard how you were generously `` offering `` to pay for my mimi to elope with shawn , and i put 2 and 2 together . kate : [ sighs ] does mimi know ? bonnie : no . i told her not to give it another minute 's thought . so are you just suspicious , or do you know , know ? kate : i know , know . bonnie : how 'd you find out ? kate : look , it does n't matter how i found out , okay ? the point is i underestimated you . you 're a lot more clever than i thought , bonnie . bonnie : that 's my secret . you folks all think i 'm a joke , so i just laugh to myself and fly under the radar . i 've got dirt on half this town . kate : so what do you want ? bonnie : the same thing you want . kate : oh , well , i want my son to be happy . bonnie : well , i want my daughter to be happy . kate : good . so does that mean you 're not going to tell anyone about claire 's true paternity ? bonnie : hell , no . the day mimi and philip find out the truth is the day they lose their chance at happiness . i 'm all for keeping belle and shawn in the dark about how they made a baby ... you with me ? [ scene_break ] marlena : john , were you thinking that manhandling me would win me over ? john : i ... just wanted you to look around your room again . that 's all . marlena : i did look around my room . john : i think you missed a couple things , you know ? those diplomas on the walls , these photos over here . look at these . these are ... this is your life . these are mementos of your life here in salem , the years that you spent here , the years that you spent here . marlena : john , i know , and i have looked around , but i do n't have any memories of it . there 's nothing there . john : i get it that you do n't have any memory of our past together , but you ca n't deny the fact that this was a major part of your life , i mean , every bit as much as ... that brief marriage to alex north . marlena : if you ca n't respect my choice , john , we have nothing to talk about . john : any doubts about that choice ? marlena : no , i trust alex unconditionally . i may not remember being married to him , but i have very strong feelings for him . he 's a man who risked his life for me . john : [ exhales deeply ] marlena : have you done that , john ? john : [ sighs ] once or twice . marlena : i 'm sorry i do n't -- i do n't remember it . but alex did go on the roof and keep me from being killed by that lunatic , lois . and you ca n't even give him credit for that . it 's like you -- i do n't know , like you want to punish him for it . do you have any idea how that feels , how that hurts me ? because if he had n't done that , i 'd be dead right now . john : i do n't believe that for a second . marlena : well , there we are . you 're wrong . john : and you 're wrong if you think i 'm gon na let you go .

[ scene_break ] mimi : claire is shawn 's . is that what you just said ? belle : well , no , i just meant that he thinks of her that way . i mean , you both are her godparents , and shawn gets attached to any little kid in his life -- you know , like j.t .. or zack and now claire . he 's just the fatherly type , i guess . you know , philip and i were thinking about what we would do if something happened to us and who we would want to take care of claire .. and we thought about our families , and mine 's kind of a mess and philip 's is kind of , too , so thank god for you and shawn . mimi : well , that 's very sweet of you , but nothing 's going to happen to you . belle : zack 's death was really random . i do n't think any of us can count on being here tomorrow . nobody likes to think about it , but it 's the truth . mimi : i guess you 're right . belle : so how are things with you and shawn ? mimi : good . you know , going through something like this with zack -- it 's brought us even closer . belle : so , what about the wedding ? have you decided what hideous color you 're gon na make your bridesmaids wear ? mimi : to tell you the truth , i have n't really thought about the wedding that much with everything that 's going on . belle : i ca n't believe that kate made such an amazing offer to you guys . i mean , she 's never been a very big fan of shawn 's . mimi : or me . i mean , hell , it stunned me . i mean , to offer to pay for our wedding and the honeymoon , and let 's not forget all the designs to look at for my wedding gown ? belle : which are so gorgeous . how are you ever gon na choose ? mimi : i 'm not sure i 'm going to choose anything . belle : why not ? mimi : because i do n't know if there 's gon na be a wedding at all .

[ scene_break ] kate : it almost sounds like you know more than i do . bonnie : i got some of the details out of mimi -- the barn , the fire . then i talked to a guy i used to date -- an emt -- and he pulled that night 's report for me . turns out belle and shawn were pulled from that inferno barely alive ... and naked as two jaybirds . kate : [ sighs ] and they were confused and they were disoriented and that 's how it happened . hmm . and given the trauma of the fire , they probably have absolutely no memory of what went on between the two of them . bonnie : do n't look so glum , chum . it 's a good thing . they survived , they made claire , and they do n't remember . and that 's the way it 's gon na stay unless someone does something stupid and tells them . kate : well , i 'm not gon na say anything . bonnie : well , i 'm not gon na say anything . kate : it 's really hard to believe that the two of us being in -- bonnie : cahoots ? kate : yeah . exactly . bonnie : well , you 're not the only mother who will bust her butt to make sure her kid is happy . `` whatever it takes . `` that 's my motto . lie , cheat , steal , kill . i 'm just kidding . kate : naturally . well , i 'm delighted that we feel the same way . belle is meant for philip . bonnie : and mimi is meant for shawn . kate : good . then we have a deal , then . you wo n't say anything about claire being the daughter of shawn . bonnie : deal . kate ? you 're skipping a step . kate : excuse me ? bonnie : you 're rich , and i work hard for the money . you want to seal our deal , you got to meet my price . [ scene_break ] john : marlena ... if you could just remember anything about our past together -- anything -- you would understand why i am so suspicious of alex north . marlena : john , that ... that 's really kind of beside the point here . the thing is i ... i just do n't have ... passionate feelings for you . and i think that somehow i would have if our relationship had been anything like what i had with alex . john : that 's just because he has done something to prevent you from feeling what 's in your heart for me . marlena : i 'm sorry . this is just really sad . john , you have to let me go .. [ scene_break ] lois : so , what 's the plan ? alex : the plan is marlena will keep telling john that she does n't love him until he finally has no choice but to believe her . and then -- lois : oh , i know , i know . kate . alex : i 'm still amazed at how brilliantly you planted that seed in john 's brain . lois : really ? was i brilliant ? alex : oh , beyond brilliant . and you acted crazy . lois : demented , right ? [ laughs ] alex : but the truly great thing is that kate actually does love john , so sooner or later , he 's going to bite . lois : bite ? i love it . alex : i thought you would . no man can truly resist a beautiful woman who 's in love with him . lois : do tell . alex : clever , clever lois . lois : cleverer than you , maybe . john black is no pushover . he really wants marlena . alex : mmm , but he 's also had kate , too . sooner or later , he is going to be longing for a woman to be next to him in his bed , and since he ca n't have marlena , everything is going according to plan . it 's too bad , you see , because john has always been right about me . but who 's gon na believe him now ? there 's no way he can prove it . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : it 's not that i do n't want to marry mimi . i do . i really do . philip : mm - hmm . shawn d. : a year ago , i never would have guessed how much she would mean to my life today . now , i ca n't imagine my life without her . philip : then get married here in salem . take my mom up on her offer -- honeymoon of a lifetime . it 's a trip around the world . this is what you 've always wanted . and this way , you do n't have to join the merchant marine to get it , right ? you 're still not convinced ? all right , picture this . taj mahal , sunset , mimi in your arms . now , what do you think of that ? shawn d. : i 'm pretty convinced . philip : nice .

[ scene_break ] belle : i ca n't believe that you would want to call off your wedding to shawn . mimi : i do n't . it 's just the timing , you know , with the brady family grieving for zack , and i do n't know . kate 's offer is very generous . belle : she can afford it . mimi : i know . it 's just the elopement part that i 'm not really into . belle : kate never said you had to elope . mimi : yeah , that 's how she pitched it for her magazine story . you know , i just do n't want to run off with shawn to paris or wherever , even though that is where he gave me my first kiss . belle : it seems like a lifetime ago . mimi : yeah . right ? belle : you want to get married here with your friends and your family ? you should have what you want . this is your wedding . you should n't settle . mimi : thank you for understanding . belle : so you 'll get married here , and i will help you plan it . we will have so much fun , and it 'll be really good for everyone to have something to celebrate . mimi : that 's exactly what julie said . belle : well , that 's practically the word of god . so now you 'll get married here at st. luke 's , and i 'll design you a dress if you 're not comfortable with one of the other ones . mimi : that 's very sweet of you , but you 've got the baby and everything , and actually , my dream wedding dress does n't need to be designed because it already exists . belle : really ? mimi : well , since you said i should n't settle , i would absolutely love to wear caroline brady 's wedding dress . shawn did say that i looked beautiful in it . [ scene_break ] kate : oh , i should have known it . i should have known that this whole thing has just one big buildup to blackmail , has n't it ? now , bonnie , i 'm so disappointed in you . i thought you wanted what was best for your daughter . i thought we were on the same page . i 've already offered her an all - expense - paid wedding , a honeymoon trip around the world , a beautiful wedding dress , a gorgeous gown for the mother of the bride . bonnie : very nice . thanks . we accept . and i need makeup . anything you use will be fine . liners , eye shadows , lashes -- a truckload in every color . what the hell ? kate : okay , okay , makeup . a truckload . done . anything else ? bonnie : oh , i 'm just getting started . i want alice 's to be your go - to for all those big , fancy events that basic black is always throwing . the penthouse grill has seen its day . do n't even get me started on chez rouge . alice 's is kickin ' , and that 's what people want today , so you send all your party business my way , and i will be one happy hot tamale . kate : somehow i have a feeling there 's more . bonnie : bet your booty . i was take a look - see through the spring collection of basic black 's in salem style magazine , and there was n't a single dress in there for the full - figured gal . kate : bonnie , we design for the ideal figure . bonnie : yeah , which ought to be 38 - 30 - 38 -- the kind of body to keep a man warm at night . so you get your designers in a huddle and you come up with a few frocks for me .. they should scream `` sex , `` and my favorite color is fuchsia . well , anything in the red and purple family would be just -- [ smooches ] -- fine . kate : uh , have we reached the end of the list yet ? bonnie : not quite . you see , strike while the iron 's hot , and this one 's on fire . think of it as a small price to pay for our children 's happiness . kate : [ sighs ] i 'll get right on it because i want to make sure that you hold up your end of the bargain . bonnie : not to worry . the truth about who claire 's real father is will follow me to my grave . kate : well , if that truth does slip out , an early grave can be arranged . bonnie : hey , gals with big hair are n't all dumb , you know . i 've got enough smarts to know which side my mimi 's bread is buttered on . as long as she 's happy , my lips are buttoned . kate : yeah , well , you 'd better keep your end of the bargain because my son 's future depends on it . bonnie : why men go for that skinny butt of hers , i 'll never know . the only thing that ever made this cafeteria coffee taste halfway decent ...

[ scene_break ] chelsea : admit it , dad . you think i 'm just gon na take the money and skip town . you do n't trust me . bo : listen to me , kid . this has got nothing to do with trust . chelsea : dad , it has everything to do with trust . it 's like the whole brady clan has taken out this big ad space in the papers , and it says , `` do not trust chelsea with anything important because she lies . she steals . she cheats . she even kills . `` look , you have every reason to doubt me . i 've screwed up . i know it . i 'm a complete outsider to this family , but it 's because i did it to myself . i pushed everyone away . i did n't care if i ruined everyone else 's lives as long as i could save my own . bo : listen , you ca n't seem to understand that even through all that , we love you and we want to protect you . nick : look , i , um ... i know this is none of my business , but it seems to me that chelsea is right . none of you are gon na be able to fly under the radar , give them the money , without calling attention to yourselves . she can . chelsea : dad , i just want to help shawn and belle . so , please , just let me help my brother . [ scene_break ] willow : i 'm sorry to dump this on you , hope , but it was a surprise to me , too . i took the test . it came back positive . i 'm eight weeks along . hope : you must think i 'm a fool . you and shawn were together for , what , five minutes ? and i would imagine in your previous line of work , unplanned pregnancy was an occupational hazard . willow : sorry , mom . i 've only been with shawn . hope : and you 're a liar . there is absolutely no way you could say with any amount of certainty that , that child is shawn 's , if , in fact , you are actually pregnant , which i sincerely doubt . willow : you know , i figured you 'd say something like that . and that 's why i have this . it 's a note from my ob / gyn that states that i am pregnant , so go ahead , call the hospital . they 'll back me up . this pregnancy is the real deal . [ scene_break ] abby : yes , this is definitely something i want to do . you know , it 's time for me to move on from ... being a kid or at least being treated like one . well , anyway , i 'm glad that you 're happy for me . there 's just one more person i have to tell . [ scene_break ] max : shawn ? yeah , look , it 's max . everything okay ? yeah , i 'd like to send a care package , you know , like some granola bars , some noodles in a cup , some video games . how about some money for curling lessons ? would n't that be nice ? can i get your address ? i 'd rather change the oil in a thousand jalopies than ever drive a race car for your sorry ass . philip : do you have any idea the hell i 've been through ? ! what i have to live with every day ? ! one of my legs is gone ! i wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and i do n't recognize the man looking back . i close my eyes at night and all i see are good , decent , honorable men blown to bits all around me . and i 'm wearing their blood on my uniform . all i have left is claire . and i 'm asking you to help me get back the one thing that life has n't taken from me . max : look , i respect you for everything that you ' sacrificed . and i 'm sorry for everything that you 've lost . but that does not entitle you to treat people like something you 've scraped off the bottom of your shoe . i 've spent my childhood living out of cardboard boxes , and no one sees me making life miserable for everyone who does n't give me what i want , so do n't give me that . and if you do n't recognize yourself in the mirror , it 's got nothing to do with your new face and everything to do with the bastard that you 've become , philip . now get out . philip : i will find shawn and belle . and when i do , it wo n't be pretty . [ scene_break ] hope : this does n't prove anything . willow : why ? because it 's me ? hope : because there 's nothing in this document that says that shawn is the father of your baby . willow : well , he is whether you like it or not , so will you stop pretending this is n't happening and tell him ? hope : i do n't know where shawn is , as i 'm sure you 're well aware of . willow : yeah , yeah . he and belle are out on the run with their kid . so you 're telling me he has n't been in touch with you ? hope : no . and if he had , you 'd certainly be the last person i 'd tell . you 'd go straight to victor . you can excuse yourself from the table now . this conversation is over . willow : okay , fine . have it your way . i will just go to the court and officially name shawn the father of this baby . that 'll play really good on the news , do n't you think ? a fugitive out on the run with one kid after he knocks somebody up with another one ? hope : what do you want from us ? why ca n't you just leave us alone ? willow : because you are the only family me and my baby have . i have no job , no insurance , nobody to come to my rescue like the almighty brady 's do . and i thought that you might want to help . but i should have known better than to think that you had a heart . oh , well . maybe your husband will think differently . after all , this is bo 's grandchild , too . [ scene_break ] bo : look , chelse , i do n't think this is a good idea . chelsea : no , dad , it 's a great idea . and if it was n't me offering to go , you would have already agreed to it by now . bo : what do you think ? kayla : well , i think that you and chelsea have had enough public arguments that it might work in our favor . bo : it 's true . steve : i do n't know , man . i mean , it looks like a pretty good option . nick : look , i know chelsea really , really well , and let me tell you , when she puts her mind to something , she makes it happen . bo : [ sighs ] what about your mom ? chelsea : i do n't think billie would have a problem with it . i mean , she might actually even be proud of me . and , hey , maybe you would be , too . bo : okay , you can go . chelsea : thank you so much . i swear i will not let anyone down . bo : whoa , whoa , whoa . on one condition . chelsea : what ? bo : you do n't travel alone . nick : i 'll go . chelsea : whoa , nick . hang on . um , i never said that i needed a chaperon . bo : no , i did . and nick 's a good choice . he 's level - headed . chelsea : meaning ... i 'm not ? bo : meaning i would feel a lot more comfortable about this if you have someone there to watch your back . kayla : i would n't be here right now if it was n't for him . steve : it looks like you 're not gon na win this one , little lambie . nick : all right , well , it 's a done deal , then . i 'll call work , i 'll get the day off , and we should be able to be on a flight in a few hours , right ? steve : we can get the money right now , kayla .

's baby . and in my heart , i know that she is the one that i 'm supposed to have . and i will , no matter what it takes . dr. baker : she 's not yours , all right ? she 's colleen 's . nicole : sami 's . dr. baker : whatever . she 's not yours . you ca n't just switch these babies and not have somebody find out . how can you possibly expect to pull this off ? daniel : predictable . chloe : what is ? daniel : well , this whole time i was trying to persuade you that you and i belong together somehow . i begged you to tell lucas . i was almost certain that we were gon na be something . but then all of a sudden , i change my mind -- chloe : and why the hell have you changed your mind ? daniel : no , i think i just told you . chloe : why , because you saw me and lucas and allie together through the pub window ? what , because i was trying to push you out of my mind for a moment by having a little bit of fun ? daniel : well , it looked like you succeeded . chloe : succeeded ? daniel : in pushing me right out of your mind . did a great job with that . chloe : oh . wh -- so that 's what this is all about ? what , because i had some fun without you , because i dared to seem happy without you gracing me with your presence ? daniel : no , no , that 's not what this is about . chloe : then what else could it be ? daniel : listen to me . this is not about me or my ego or whatever the hell it is you 're trying to insinuate here . chloe : it 's got to be something . daniel : yeah , it is . you 're part of a family . now , i 'm not proud of the fact that i have fallen in love with someone 's fiancée . but i would like to think that i am not totally devoid of decency here . so i will not break up any family . i wo n't . i wo n't do it . chloe : how noble . daniel : yeah , well , i got to live with myself . chloe : oh , okay , so it 's all about you . it was bound to be at one point . daniel : you know , if that 's the way you see it , fine . chloe : kate says that you seem alone . daniel : yeah , i do n't want to talk about kate . chloe : well , what if she asks you to come back ? what will you do ? daniel : did you just hear me ? i do n't want to talk about her . chloe : fine ! then we 'll talk about you and me . daniel : chloe , we are not -- chloe : you do n't tell someone you love them one day and then dump them in a voicemail the next , okay , especially after you 've made it so they ca n't think of anything else but you day and night , even in their dreams . i truly do hate you . steve : i did some digging with the help of a buddy of mine . dude 's a hard - core computer geek . hope : hack job on the dimeras ? steve : something like that . was n't exactly by the book . bo : do n't want to hear it . hope : so , cut to the chase . what do you got ? steve : well , i found something interesting that could connect dimera to our killer . you ca n't go in there . sister theresa : colleen is very concerned about her child . we 've been waiting a long time for a report . i 'm sorry , but the doctor 's dealing with an emergency right now . sister theresa : do you have any updates at all ? this lack of information is making the poor girl frantic . as soon as we get word , she 'll be the first to know . sister theresa : of course . thank you . nicole : did sami ever hold her baby ? did she ever get a good look at it ? dr. baker : what 's that got to do with anything we 're talking about ? nicole : she did n't , did she ? so she 's not gon na know the difference . dr. baker : of course she will . she spent nine months carrying the baby , nicole . nicole : newborns all look the same anyway . i mean , look at them . they 're practically identical . dr. baker : great . and then she grows up and has none of sami 's characteristics . nicole : she 's not gon na see her grow up . sami is abandoning this baby . i told you that . she 's giving it to the orphanage at the convent . dr. baker : what if she has a change of heart ? nicole : why would she ? she does n't want this baby . she did n't even tell the father that she was pregnant . dr. baker : that 's getting to be a trend around here . nicole : do n't you dare compare me to her . i actually want this child . dr. baker : [ exhales ] how can you be so sure that she does n't ? nicole : because ... i overheard her confessing to the nun at the convent that she wished she was never pregnant and that she resents this baby and -- and all the problems that it 's caused her . i mean , does that sound like a woman who deserves to be a mother ? e.j . and i will give that baby a good life , better than sami ever would . and i 'm going to commit myself to her 100 % , and i know e.j . will , too . but you have to help me make that happen , dr. baker . what do you say ? daniel : you 're right . the voicemail -- i should have told you to your face that it was over . chloe : why did n't you ? daniel : because i knew -- i knew it would end up ... just like this . chloe : what ? you knew i 'd be angry ? daniel : yeah . i suppose you have every right . chloe : you suppose ? daniel : yeah . chloe : you profess your love for me , telling me you 've been waiting for me your whole life , and then you leave me a voicemail saying that it 's over . and you suppose that i have a right to be angry ? ! daniel : you have every right . chloe : it 's more than angry , daniel . i 'm disgusted with myself for thinking that you were a man of your word , for cheating on the man that i 'm gon na marry for some shallow bastard who does n't even have the courage of his convictions ! daniel : oh , so you think now i 'm the scum of the earth ? this is good . let it out . chloe : good ? daniel : yeah , it 's really good 'cause it 's gon na make it easier for us to go our separate ways -- that much easier . steve : have you guys ever heard of a company called holtgren international ?

[ sighs ] abigail : is everything okay ? austin : yeah . things are so good . everything 's fine . could n't be -- all right ... carrie and i had an argument . i came here . i crashed out on the couch . i have n't checked in with her ... so i think it 's safe to say that things are definitely ... not okay . [ scene_break ] rafe : look , carrie , every couple has fights . carrie : [ sighs ] i know . but this was different . we said such rotten things to each other , and then he just left . and i lay awake in bed for hours , waiting for him . finally , i just got up , got dressed , and came over here . i 'm sorry . i should n't be acting this way . rafe : no , hey , hey , why not ? why not ? it 's okay . you can tell me what happened , all right ? carrie : i knew he was mad at me . rafe : because of sydney 's party ? ah . carrie : yeah , but that was just the cherry on the sundae of a very messed - up week . no -- month . it 's been longer than that . ever since i decided to take john 's case , austin thinks that i have time for everything but him . rafe : okay . well , i 'll talk to austin . i 'll explain to him what happened , okay ? carrie : no , do n't . rafe : no , this is my fault . sami was all jammed up at work . i asked you to help me , ok ? let me just -- carrie : please do n't . you 'll only make things worse . [ scene_break ] john : if i came off sounding nosy , that was n't my intention . sami : okay . john : i want to talk about your job , it 's fine . the only reason i asked is because ... i actually care , honey . carrie : i did n't mean to jump all over you , then . john : that 's all right . i know you got a lot on your mind . sami : then the answer to your question is , it 's actually -- it 's going really well . john : you working for kate ? [ both chuckle ] sami : i know , i know . you can see the pigs flying . it 's going well . she actually works really well with me . she listens to me . she respects my opinion . john : well , maybe she 's mellowed -- who knows ? stranger things have happened . sami : ai n't that the truth . john : mm - hmm . sami : i just wish i had a 48-hour day , you know , 'cause then i could get it all done . as it is , i 'm used to being , um , a really hands - on mom , and i have n't been able to do that lately . i did n't even get to help plan sydney 's party , really . john : huh . uh , can i just kind of throw something out there ? sami : yeah . john : you know , when you were the same age as your twins are now ... i was the one ... i was the one that took you to school , bandaged your knees , made you mac and cheese , played dolls with you ... 'cause your mother was n't there . i know you resent that to this very day . sami : i know that 's not her fault . john : still , you missed her . and for my part , i was n't there as much for brady as i should have been , and that 's one of the biggest regrets of my life . sami : what are you saying ? john : i 'm saying that you are a wonderful mom . you 're the room mother . you host all the sleepovers . you cheer at the soccer games . now , will -- he 's old enough that , you know , you can step back . but johnny , allie , sydney -- they need their mother . they need her now . so , if you find that this job is getting in the way of that , you might want to ask yourself ... if it 's worth it . [ scene_break ] rafe : carrie , you know that i would never want to cause any problems for you , right ? carrie : i know . rafe : okay , but if my leaning on you for sydney 's party is causing problems with you and austin , i just want to let him know . i 'm not going to ask you to do that stuff anymore , okay ? carrie : it is n't you . it is n't you . we started having problems when john was arrested , when i realized that he knew that it was going to happen and he did n't tell me about it . and i thought that we could handle being on opposite sides . but austin was looking at the facts , and that meant that john was guilty . i was looking at the man john is and knew that was n't possible . rafe : i know . carrie : [ sighs ] and ... then i started looking at austin and saying to myself ... `` who is he ? did i even know him ? `` then we decided to stay in salem , and i thought that we could put everything behind us and build a new life together . rafe : but ... carrie : i guess , in the back of my mind , i just kept thinking , `` do i really know who he is ? `` and i 'm sure he 's wondering the same thing about me right now . rafe : well , when you guys were in switzerland , you did n't have any problems , right ? carrie : well , you know ... rafe : i mean , yeah , but ... okay , so why 'd you decide to stay here in salem ? carrie : it hit both of us how much we missed this place and our families . rafe : yeah , families -- right , exactly . and they 're great -- do n't get me wrong -- but they do bring a lot of baggage , you know ? carrie : this is our home , though , you know . and we both decided to get jobs , and ... [ sighs ] i do n't know -- we 're still in a hotel . we -- we ca n't even find the time to find a place . rafe : well , life probably is a bit unsettled . carrie : yeah . maybe it 's just the stress . maybe it 's , uh austin trying to figure out his teaching , and i 'm trying to jump - start our business . rafe : does n't leave much time for the two of you . carrie : but when i was in law school and i was studying for the bar , we always found time to be together . i guess ... maybe what scares me the most is the fact that , uh ... maybe that 's not so important to us anymore . [ scene_break ] abigail : i 'm sorry . i do n't know what to say . austin : [ chuckles ] yeah , yeah , me neither . abigail : you and carrie have been married for , like , forever , though , right ? austin : yeah , yeah , we 're ancient . abigail : i did n't mean it like that , austin . austin : you want some advice , grasshopper ? abigail : what did you just call me ? austin : wow . you have no idea what i 'm talking about , do you ? abigail : okay , just tell me the advice . austin : people get married for a lot of different reasons . but if you 're lucky , you get married because you are so in love with somebody ... because life 's too short to go through alone . but what they do n't tell you is you could be more alone in a marriage than you ever , ever thought possible on your own . abigail : uh , yeah . my mom said something like that once . austin : i 'll bet she did ... because when you 're married , there 's always new things for you to deal with . the two of you have to do it , but sometimes you just ... you just want to take a hall pass , and you just want to say , `` i do n't feel ... like talking about us tonight . `` abigail : is that why you slept on the couch ? austin : [ chuckles ] yeah , yeah , kind of . and you want to know what it got me ? absolutely nothing . things are a lot worse this morning than they were last night . so the big lesson is ... this is what happens ... when married people stop talking . abigail : do you think maybe that it 's possible after last night that carrie wants to work things out with you now ? austin : no . no calls . [ sighs ] i guess that 's just wishful thinking . abigail : what is she , crazy ? i mean , i just -- i do n't get it . she has to be nuts to not want to make this right with you . [ scene_break ] madison : hey , mr. black . brady : yeah . madison : what 's going on in there ? brady : nothing . madison : nothing ? brady : nothing . madison : nothing going on in there ? hey . you can tell me anything . i know you 're upset about me sending sami in to spy at countess wilhelmina . brady : oh , yeah , listen , i think that was crazy , but that was n't -- that was not what i was thinking about right now . i was actually thinking that the old me probably would have done the exact same thing that you did . madison : oh , the old you . brady : yeah , the old me that ... you really never knew -- before i met you . madison : hey . brady : hmm ? madison : it 's just business . look , you know , you do n't think kate has sent someone undercover inside mad world ? come on , really ? brady : i just -- i think i miss the old days , when i was -- i was the ceo of titan and you had to run every freaking business decision right by me . i loved that . madison : oh , yeah , those were the good old days for you , right ? brady : i know that you like calling the shots just as much as i do . it just makes me wonder , though . i mean , what else have n't you told me , madison james ? madison : titan is a major company . what i should do , then consider it done . we should get dressed . brady : hey , hey , hold on . hold on . hold on . there is something , is n't there ? [ scene_break ] carrie : oh , sorry . rafe : listen , carrie , i 'm gon na tell you something about guys , all right ? we get mad , then we walk out the door thinking ... [ chuckles ] `` yeah , i showed her . `` then we find ourselves standing on the sidewalk all alone . now ... carrie : mm - hmm . so why did n't he come home last night , then ? rafe : oh , that would have been way too reasonable . but he 'll be there when you get there ... feeling like a jackass . carrie : [ laughs ] have you ever done anything like that before ? rafe : me ? [ chuckles ] no . please , i 'm way too reasonable . i just sit back and tell sami it 's all her fault . carrie : how was she when you came home last night ? rafe : oh , she was ... things were a little bit frosty around the loft , yeah . carrie : did you point out the fact that we were just trying to save her little girl 's birthday party ? rafe : oh , no , no , no . it was about way more than just the party . she was furious at will for taking sydney over to ej 's . carrie : that was n't your fault . rafe : well , no . it was will . but will 's been acting so strange lately . he ca n't stand ej , and now he 's working for his campaign . and i got to tell you -- i 'm worried about that kid . carrie : me too . rafe : yeah . anyway , sami and i -- we got into it . i said some things too . ever since she started this job , she 's , uh ... whatever . carrie : you -- you can tell me , by the way , and it wo n't go any further . rafe : yeah . i think her boss is using her . carrie : well , she 's working for kate , which i still do n't get . rafe : yeah , she does n't want to talk about it . carrie : i bet she does n't . rafe : no . now , sami and i -- we used to get in these big fights ... all the time . but in a way , they were great . we would work things out and see eye to eye , and now it 's just -- she 's doing stuff i ca n't even fathom , and , uh , it does n't seem to bother her at all . carrie : mm . rafe : i do n't know . carrie : i 'm afraid you 're seeing a side of my sister that i , unfortunately , have a lot of experience with . i know how hard that can be . [ scene_break ] austin : thanks for sticking up for me . and i know this is going to come as a shock to you , but carrie does have plenty of reasons to be angry with me . abigail : maybe she does , but still , does n't she know how lucky she is to have you ? you 're a great guy . you 've been unbelievably nice to me . you not only saved my life -- austin : do n't you think you 're putting it just a little too strongly , abby ? abigail : no , i do n't . i do n't . you -- you always listen to what i have to say , and you take me seriously , and that means a lot to me . austin : and that 's very nice to hear . it is . abigail : you 're a good person , austin . austin : you know what , abby ? when you say it , i almost kind of believe it . you know what ? you have n't been around for a long time . and you do n't know about my life . so i think it 's pretty nervy of you to tell me what to do with my kids . [ scene_break ] john : samantha , i 'm not telling you what to do . i 'm just saying i 'm looking back on my own life and thinking about things i would have done differently . and being there for brady and belle on a daily basis is at the top of the list . sami : well , i 'm not you . john : i know you are . honey -- sami : and i will continue to be there . i still bake cookies for them , and i still cheer at soccer games . and you know what ? i matter too . and this job is important to me . and it is n't just to make meet for the family while rafe is n't making much money right now . john : how is that working out for the two of you ? i mean , you being so busy and him not ? sami : what are you asking ? john : let 's just say i noticed a certain amount of tension between the two of you at sydney 's party . and i just wondered if maybe this job was -- sami : it 's not about the job , okay ? it 's not about the job at all . did you happen to notice that ej and nicole were at the party too ? john : yeah , i wondered about that also . sami : so now i 'm messing everything up ! john : samantha , listen , honey -- sami : no , you know what ? obviously you think i am the kind of woman who can not balance work and family without messing all of it up . well , you know what ? you 're probably right .

[ scene_break ] nick : i think kate 's little visit made one thing very clear ... there 's nobody on our side but us , gabi . gabi : that 's not true . i mean , you 're overreacting . nick : no . i mean , that 's the only reason she came by here , was to let me know just how short the leash is with her , and essentially , that 's kind of what your brother was doing too , in his own way . gabi : what ? no , how can you compare my brother to kate ? nick : because he -- he should be looking out for you , gabi . he should be trying to help you get what you want , which is -- which is to marry me and for us to raise this baby together , but he 's not . he 's putting restrictions and conditions and limits -- gabi : stop , okay , i -- [ sighs ] nick : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry . i am . i - i did n't mean to upset you , baby .

[ cell phone ringing ] rafe : it 's gabi . hi . gabi : hey , so , um , nick and i talked it over , and since the end result is the same either way ... we 're gon na postpone the wedding for now . rafe : well , that 's great . listen , i know this was n't an easy decision for you to make , so ... okay . i love you too . bye . hope : i take it they agreed to hold off on getting married today ? rafe : for now . hope : good . i think it 's for the best too . rafe : where are you going ? hope : to pick ciara up at school . what , you gon na miss me ? you 'll see me tomorrow . rafe : we were n't finished . hope : oh , yeah , we are . rafe , everything is fine . i 'll tell bo you said hi . lock up when you leave .

[ scene_break ] marlena : i know your father told you that he went to europe on business . that 's only partly true . brady : let me guess -- the other part is because of the way things are between us , right ? marlena : and because he needed a break from me . brady : from you ? marlena : i need to tell you something , and i 'm fairly sure you 're going to like it . brady : [ sighs ] let me hear it . marlena : i went to see kristen a few days ago . it was my idea . john did n't know about it . i was wearing a wire . brady : why ? marlena : i was hoping that i could get her to say why she was with you , what she wanted from the relationship . anyway , the whole thing backfired , and , uh ... john found out . he was terribly upset , and that 's why he left . brady : why are you telling me this now ? marlena : well , i ... i guess i would have assumed kristen had told you already . i do n't know why she did n't . in fact , she was onto me from the very beginning . she held up a note that said , `` i know what you 're doing . `` brady : why would you write a note that says , `` i know what you 're doing `` ? kristen : you 're so silly . it 's work - related . marlena : i know this is a lot to absorb . sit down -- let me tell you all about it . brady : no , no , no , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i ca n't . i better go . marlena : brady ? brady : i got to go .

[ scene_break ] daniel : no , eric did n't mention he was going -- nicole : it was kind of sudden . daniel : well , i hope he 's not giving up on looking for the truth here and proving his innocence . nicole : i do n't think so . but after that near - death experience and everything , he ... wait a minute , what is this link ? daniel : n - n - no . no , you 're not changing the subject , nicole . what is going on here ? is eric okay ? nicole : it 's not my place to say anything . daniel : no , what you were just about to say , that when we were alone -- nicole : daniel , look at this . look , look , look .

have you been listening to me ? paige : jj 's sad ? jennifer : i should n't have said that . it is not my place to tell you how he feels , or how i think he feels . i guess you know why we broke up . jennifer : i do . he admitted that he was with someone else and i was so sorry to hear that . and i am certainly not excusing that behavior , honey . and all i have to say is if you still care about jj , and i know that you do , i know you understand that sometimes people make huge mistakes . and sometimes , as hard as it may be , you can get past them . jj : okay , so what problem do you know how to get rid of ? is it the fact that we slept together twice ? are you just gon na undo that ? eve : would you just shut up and listen for a minute ? of course we ca n't undo that , jj . lord knows , if we could , we would . what we need to do is find a way to stop paige from trying to find out who you cheated on her with . jj : she 'll stop eventually . i 'll just keep stonewalling . you make sure she does n't end up with that loser cole . eve : stonewalling is not gon na work , jj . paige is like a ferret . she 's smart . she 's gon na keep digging until she gets it . jj : okay , fine . what 's your brilliant plan ?

eric : you look beautiful . serena : thank you . what a night ! total roller coaster . eric : well , i hope this helps . serena : it will . thank you . eric : you know , while i was out , i started thinking . are you sure you do n't want to press charges ? i mean , this whole little thing with nicole was n't a mix up , it was a crime . serena : no . no , i think that nicole has learned her lesson this time . well , at least i hope . besides , this was hard on all of us . after i saw edward , i actually understood nicole 's reaction . he can be so convincing . edward 's now getting the care that he needs . and honestly , if this debacle -- if it 's the thing that can make nicole stop ... what ? eric : there 's just one thing about all of this that i do n't understand . serena : well , do n't get me to explain nicole . eric : no , it 's not nicole . i do n't understand what 's going on with you . daniel : this is about your feelings for eric , which you keep saying are over . nicole : they are . daniel : which is obviously a lie , but that 's okay . look , no , i get it . but you 're obviously lying to yourself . and then you 're telling me the opposite . so you say one thing and then you do another thing . do you understand -- nicole : can i say something now ? daniel : all right . nicole : i am a reporter . daniel : mm - hmm . nicole : i live off scoops and scandals . and i got a tip that sounded really hot . and you saw ted -- intelligent , articulate , more than credible . daniel : yeah , so what ? you did n't check him out . people in your business get fired all the time when they do n't verify their sources . but you now -- but let 's not think about that . think about this : why ? why did n't you do it ? nicole : because i had to make a move , otherwise -- daniel : no , you jumped to the conclusion that it was right because you wanted him to be right . you -- you are so jealous of serena mason . you are threatened by her . nicole : okay , no . daniel : you are so focused on trying to destroy her so eric will finally , finally see her as a fraud . and why ? why ? there is only one reason for that . nicole : daniel , do n't you dare . daniel : let me tell -- nicole : i am not still in love with eric . daniel : yeah . you are . clint : pick you up later , babe . hopefully , after this pain in the ass nurse has some bedpans to empty . melanie : [ laughs mockingly ] yikes . tobacco - head is your new guy ? theresa : well , you know what ? you want to report him for smoking , go for it . he can handle it . melanie : no , see , 'cause i have better things to do , so ... but , um , really fast , how well do you know him ? jj : what the hell are you talking about ? eve : well , paige will stop trying to figure out who you slept with if you 're not in town . there 'll be no classes together , no run - intos , nada . problem solved . jj : so i 'm just supposed to pick up and leave ? eve : no , i 've just got it all figured out . you tell your mom that you want to go study abroad . maybe england again . or , i do n't know , new york . right ? that 'd be great . you know , actually , i have a list of five school right there . if you apply today , you can start classes next week . here , take it . jj : are you nuts ? my mom 's not gon na want me to go leave to go to school . eve : oh , well then drop out for a semester , damn it , i do n't care . just get a job somewhere . anywhere but here in salem . jj : are you even listening to me ? this is my home , and i just got back with my family , and i am not walking away . eve : oh , really ? so you want to continue to run into paige , right ? keeping her digging . hurting her . hurting yourself -- jj : hey , eve , get the hell out of my house . eve : no , you leave town , jj . for your own sake , for paige 's sake , and for -- jj : for your sake ? eve : yeah . jj : why ? now what do you think will happen if i stay ? paige : jj said that ? that he made a mistake ? jennifer : i do n't know if those were his exact words , but i know jj , and i know that 's what he meant . paige : do you know where he is now ? jennifer : at home , i think . honey , listen i did not mean to stir up painful memories , i really did n't . paige : no , no , it 's all good . i 'm glad i saw you . things are clearer now . jennifer : good . i hope i see you again . paige : yeah , me too . thanks , but i have got to go . jennifer : oh , yeah , sure . paige : bye . jennifer : bye , honey . uh -- oh . eric : but before edward got to daniel 's apartment , i 've just never seen you so unnerved . honestly , you looked upset . serena : yeah . eric : and now that it 's all over i just -- i have to wonder , i mean , what was it ? what was it ? i mean , what was wrong with you ? serena : i do n't know . maybe that wrestling match from the other night kind of came back to me . eric : no , you were . see the thing is , you knew what nicole was threatening to expose was all fiction . so why were you so freaked out ? nicole : okay , daniel , do i still care about eric ? of course , i care about all my friends . and yes , ex - lovers , i adore brady , and rafe too . is n't that normal ? do n't you care about jennifer ? so naturally -- naturally , i care if someone is out to take advantage of them . but that does n't that i 'm still in love with them . i am just trying to be a friend . daniel : you want to keep lying to yourself , you go ahead , 'cause i ca n't -- i 'm not -- no . nicole : no , no , daniel , daniel , daniel , daniel ... can we just go back to your apartment and work this out ? daniel : that is not gon na happen . i 'm done . you wo n't be seeing me again . eve : i know you , jj . you 're selfish . all wrapped up in your own pain . you 're gon na slip up , you 're gon na say something , and paige is gon na put all the pieces together . jj : for the last time , i 'm not gon na say anything . eve : jj , you know what you need to do now , all right ? change schools , get a job some place else , just get your butt out of salem . jj : all right , you do n't get to tell me what to do . ever . eve : fine . just leave . for everyone 's sake . brady : you know , when i think about melanie and the kind of future we could possibly have , it makes me start thinking about chloe , and nicole , and theresa . it 's always been drama 24/7 . maggie : yeah , i remember . brady : i wo n't wan na , i do n't even wan na think about kristen , but ariana and madison , they were ideal . but it just ended with so much sadness and grief . maggie : yeah . watching you go through that was truly painful , honey . brady : but here i am now , and when i 'm with melanie , maggie , we laugh . we laugh so much , we crack each other up , and ... it 's been like that from day one , since we were friends . i 'm just really upset that our date went the way it did . it just went south so fast and i was having such a good time . maggie : were those for melanie ? brady : yeah , they were . maggie : well , the night 's not over , you know . hint . brady : night 's not over . maggie : hint ! brady : it 's not over . what am i doing here ? maggie : have fun . brady : thank you . maggie : you 're welcome . theresa : what do you care how much i 'm into clint . melanie : i 'm just curious how you met . theresa : whatever , i do n't remember . you know , i meet guys wherever i go . lots of them . melanie : i 'll bet . theresa : wait , are you jealous ? melanie : okay -- uh , i came in earlier and your man was on the phone with somebody -- theresa : you are ! wow , wow , wow . well , what can i say , melanie ? we ca n't all be gorgeous and sexy . guys drooling whenever we walk by . but you knew that , did n't you ? i mean , girls like you , they live in the friend zone . so you 're just gon na have to learn how to deal . melanie : yeah , i do . i do just fine . nicole : daniel , daniel , wait , please , you 're wrong . daniel : no , we made a pact . if you were still hung up on eric , or if i was even hung up on jen , we were done . nicole : but i 'm not still in love with eric . daniel : okay , nicole , when you finally get honest with yourself , you will see that you are . nicole : you 're the only person i care about . please , please do n't do this to me . daniel : i did n't do this to you . you did it to yourself . nicole : no , i did n't . daniel : we both went into this , eyes wide open . and i told you flat out i was n't gon na let either one of us get hurt here . and ... nicole : but , daniel , if you walk away , you 'll be hurting me . us . please do n't do this . do n't do this . serena : eric , the only thing that i knew at first was that nicole had set out to destroy me , yet again . she stole all my files , and put them on this flash drive , and was gon na do god only knows what with them -- of course , i was freaked out . eric : but you knew what nicole was going to expose was all nonsense . serena : no -- i mean , yes , if i had know that edward had gotten to her , then i would n't be so upset . but she never mentioned him . so i had no idea what she was planning to do . eric : okay , so you did n't have any idea what she was going to expose . serena : right . i mean , not that there is anything to expose , but -- look , when i realized that she had been in contact with edward , a person that i really cared for -- eric : whatever 's on that drive , it 's so important to you . serena : of course it 's important ! a lot of my files are confidential . in fact , most of them -- my career could be destroyed if the wrong people got a look at them . i thought i made myself clear . look , eric , i , um ... i trust you . totally and completely . so if you wan na open this drive , you can read any file . you can do that . right here right now .

[ scene_break ] carrie : all i can tell you , sami , is that austin has been a very big disappointment , and when i think about everything that i 've lost and everything that my employees have lost , i do n't think i can even look at him again , at least , not in the same way . he 's clearly not the man i knew when i left . sami : so that sounds pretty definite that it 's over , just like it 's over for me and lucas . so now you just have to move on with your life like i 'm trying to do . [ sighs ] carrie : i guess so . sami : which reminds me -- there 's something that i want to ask you . it 's a little bit awkward , given our history . carrie : what is it ? sami : well , i told you how austin was so supportive and he was really there for me after lucas left me at the altar . carrie : yeah , he 's been a good friend to you . i 'll give him that . sami : well , for awhile there , i actually thought he might still have feelings for me . carrie : but when i came back and we were trying to get back together , you said that you were gon na back off . sami : and i did because i did n't want to do this whole sibling - rivalry thing again , and anyway , i knew you 'd win . carrie : so what are you saying , sami ? sami : well , everything 's different now , right ? you do n't want to be with austin , so i wanted to make sure that it would be okay with you , um ... if , when austin 's ready -- if he ever is ready ... i just wanted to make sure it would be okay with you if maybe i pursued the possibility of a future with him . [ scene_break ] austin : stay the hell away from carrie . you got that ? lucas : i do n't think you 're in a position to dictate who can or ca n't see carrie , especially since she 's living with me in my apartment . austin : that 's totally platonic . she 's not into you like that . kate : would you please both stop it ? this is not the time or place . lucas : yeah , for once , mom 's right . yeah , you should worry about your new company -- the one you stole from carrie -- instead of making a fool out of yourself thinking you guys are gon na get back together . austin : you know what ? you 're fooling yourself . you got no chance with carrie . she loves me , and i will get her back . you just watch and see . lucas : you watch and see . you can raid as many companies as you want , but when the time 's right , titan 's gon na take you over . we 're gon na destroy you , just like you did carrie 's company , and then you 'll see firsthand how carrie felt when you destroyed her whole life . austin : bring it on , man . give it your best shot . just do n't sell me short . just because you got titan behind you does n't mean you 're gon na win , and you sure as hell ai n't gon na win when it comes to carrie . lucas : well , we 'll just see , wo n't we ? on both counts . kate : [ sighs ] oh , my god . look , do n't let him get to you . he 's just lashing out . he knows he does n't have a chance with carrie . he knows that she loves you and that 's never gon na change . austin : yeah , yeah , well , he better know . i promise you , mom . if i find out he 's done anything to keep us apart , he 's a dead man . i do n't care if he 's my brother .

's half - sister . he did n't hesitate to have her killed . kate : as far as we know , tek and lexie are shacked up on an island somewhere laughing at us right now . the bottom line is i 'm stuck with e.j . he and i are linked financially , and there 's nothing i can do about it -- not a damn thing i can do about it -- except try to make it work out . i do n't think you should make e.j . an obstacle . i 'm sure he 's going to offer you a very generous package . even if you choose to move on , in the end , at least you can ensure yourself a secure and comfortable future for both of you . i mean , what 's wrong with that ? lucas : what do you think ? sami : you said you needed a job . lucas : yeah , but you 've always been scared of e.j . what happened ? what changed that ? sami : i 'm not afraid anymore of anything or anyone . kate : you see , she 's a hero . she 's fearless . sami : look , lucas , i want you to do what you think is best , and if this is it , then i 'm behind you 100 % . kate : so , why do n't you go over there , set your conditions down ? if e.j . really wants you on board , he 'll agree . you 're not going to lose anything by talking to him . lucas : all right . fine . fine . i 'll talk to him . i 'll also let him know that if he gets within 2 feet of you , i 'm gon na bend him like beckham and kick his butt back to trafalgar square .

marlena : i think now perhaps he just wants to destroy me . steve : and , paul , it 's not just about marlena . she 's just another one of many pieces on the board . stefano has spent the last 30 years manipulating and using the people of salem and then tossing them away like garbage . paul : like he did with my dad . steve : that 's right . at one time , your dad was his pawn . marlena : and at least john was able to get out from under stefano 's influence . steve : stefano never regained power over him after that . rafe : and we 're gon na do the same thing for hope . kate : but how , now that anna has spooked him into seclusion ? rafe : well , however we do it , we 're gon na do it in a controlled environment . we 're gon na stick together , we 're gon na be on point , and we 're gon na be on guard every step of the way . marlena : all right , thank you for your concern . and i know that you will do your damndest to make sure that you apprehend stefano before he can hurt me at all . now if it 's any comfort to you , i have experience at dealing with stefano . i think i can take care of myself . paul : and if you ca n't ? what then ? look , i know that you all think that this is risky , but am i the only one who 's totally against this ? who thinks that this is a catastrophe waiting to happen ? i understand that hope 's life is dependent on this plan , but i ca n't in good faith let you go through with this without my father knowing about it first . i 'm sorry , but i 'm going to have to call dad . [ tense music ] and now , i help people find discounts , shawn : hey , i 'm glad i found you guys . jennifer : what 's going on ? julie : what 's wrong ? jennifer : is it hope ? shawn : it 's not good . julie : what ? shawn : lieutenant raines , he ordered to make extreme measures in the apprehension of my mother . julie : extreme measures ? jennifer : that means shoot to kill . julie : what ? jennifer : shawn , she 's not even armed . julie : my god , how does that make any sense ? if she was in prison , she 'd be dead right now , and because she was afraid for her safety now -- now she 's public enemy number one ? jennifer : you know something . you 've heard from her , have n't you ? shawn : yeah . yes , i -- i got an encrypted email from her just reassuring me that she was okay . julie : well , thank god . and where is she ? shawn : look , that i -- i do n't know . all she said was not to worry and to trust her , and that is what we 're gon na do . 'cause that 's what my dad would want . julie : may i see that email ? i mean , may doug see it ? darling , it would mean the world and all to your grandfather just to know that his daughter is okay . ciara : mom , please , i need you . mom , where are you ? hope : ciara ? ciara . baby ?

why ? hope : because i thought that if he defended him , he might actually get him to flip on ben . eli : how 'd that work out for you ? hope : it didn't . but i appreciate that ted was at least willing to try . diana : you know , i - i ca n't say that i 'm surprised to find out that matthew 's marriage is troubled . i met sonny earlier with him , and the tension was apparent . will : it 's tough to miss . diana : in fact , matthew -- or leo was furious with sonny , accused him of tracking me down in order to get rid of him . sounds like he was n't wrong about that . will : [ sighs ] my grandmother 's husband is a private detective , and i - i begged him to find you because we thought you could help us deal with leo . diana : you seem like a very nice young man , as does sonny . so i wonder , what does leo have on you two ? will : okay ... um , i 'm sure leo will probably tell you this , so i 'm -- i 'm gon na be honest . long story short , we thought we killed your son . sonny : you know ... i think henderson already bought peanut butter . adrienne : they 're two - for - one . and this stuff never goes bad . sonny : mom , it was a joke . in case you have n't noticed , we have a butler . adrienne : well , i should pay full price for peanut butter ? please . sonny : no , definitely not . if there 's one thing that you 've ingrained in me , it 's ... both : waste not , want not . sonny : yes . adrienne : mm - hmm . sonny : it 's just kind of funny , because my entire life , you know , we 've -- we 've had money , more than we 've known what to do with . adrienne : mm - hmm . sonny : but you never miss an opportunity to save a few bucks . adrienne : well , honey , i grew up poor . and if there 's one thing i 've learned in this life is that there are no guarantees and all this could go away just like that . do n't you ever forget it . sonny : believe me , i won't . you 'll never let me . adrienne : good . besides ... [ laughs ] with leo 's spending sprees , he could bankrupt this whole family any day now . sonny : yeah , if only his spending habits were the worst of it . adrienne : what 's that supposed to mean ? sonny : oh , nothing . adrienne : oh , no , no , no . out with it , jackson . sonny : ugh , mom , i do n't know . i just do n't feel comfortable discussing this particular topic with you . adrienne : you know what ? i 'm not doing this , not again . sonny : doing what ? adrienne : well , i ran into your uncle jack earlier , and he could n't get away from me fast enough . sonny : i 'm sorry . i know that probably upset you . adrienne : well , yeah . so do n't do the same thing to me . sonny : well , now you 're kind of being a little ... manipulative . adrienne : oh , no , not kind of . i am . so spill it . sonny : all right . um ... leo has new demands for our marriage . and , uh , he wants me to perform ... husbandly , uh , duties . adrienne : hmm . will : the day before sonny was gon na go on trial for sexual harassment , i showed leo some dirt that i dug up on him . he was furious . he attacked me . diana : [ gasps ] oh , my god . will : diana , he would 've killed me , but sonny got there , and he -- and he pulled him off . and after he did , leo fell and he -- he just hit his head . and he collapsed , and he -- he was just -- body was lying there , unmoving . diana : and you did n't call the paramedics ? will : well , i mean , we -- we thought it was too late . it really -- it really did look like he was dead . i - i swear to you -- i swear it was an accident . we had no intention at all of hurting your son , but ... it just -- like , with the -- the lawsuit ... diana : it looked like you might have done it to shut him up . will : we were -- i mean , who was gon na believe us if we tried to explain the truth ? so we ... i mean , we rolled him up in a rug and we put him in his trunk , and when we went back later to try and get rid of the body , it was gone . diana : hmm . and eventually , when leo showed up alive , he ... blackmailed sonny into marriage . will : he has photos of us trying to dispose of what we thought was his dead body . diana : and where did these photos come from ? will : some guy named ted laurent . diana : did you just say ted laurent ? will : yes . why , do you know him ? hope : i appreciate your concern , really . but you have nothing to worry about . and neither does my husband . eli : have you heard from him lately ? you know when he 's coming back home ? hope : i have no idea when he 's coming home . we keep playing phone tag . eli : i bet his ass would be running back home if he knew you were being wined and dined by ted . hope : oh , stop . hold on , okay ? just stop . i am not being wined and dined by anyone . and not by ted . we are friends . that is it . nothing more , eli . period . eli : does ted know that ? ted : hi . does ted know what ? hope : that i have a packed schedule today , so our meeting is gon na have to be a quickie -- uh , quick . ted : well , it -- it should n't take long . hope : okay . eli : [ scoffs ] i 'll see you later . hope : yeah . thanks , eli . ted : he does n't like me very much , does he ? hope : oh , do n't worry about him . so , uh , what idea did you want to run by me ? ted : how would you feel about you and me working together ? marlena : ben , to tell you the truth , i share ciara 's concern having you work for a man like stefan dimera . ben : look , dr . evans , i appreciate you . i appreciate your concern . but it really was just a job . and none of that matters now anyway , because as soon as stefan was arrested and chad took over , his first act of business was to fire me . marlena : and does ciara know that ? ben : she knew that i was fired , yeah . what i did n't get to tell her is that i was on my way to quit working for stefan anyway because of her . i did it for her . [ exhales heavily ] marlena : why did n't you tell her that ? ben : because she did n't give me a chance to . by the time i was going to tell her , she was already upset with me about something else . marlena : about what ? ben : i made this stupid pact with claire to break up tripp and ciara -- not by , like , hurting them or anything , just ... manipulating them a little , i guess . it was n't even a big deal , but ... [ sighs ] ciara felt like i betrayed her . marlena : understandable , do n't you think ? ben : dr. evans ... ciara was the only one who believed in me and believed that i 've changed . even after everything her mother did trying to convince her that i set that damn fire at the cabin , she still believed in me . she still had my back . [ sighs ] just knowing that i was worthy of someone 's trust ... just made me feel like i could be a better person . without her ... without ciara in my life , i 'm just -- i 'm afraid i could turn back into that monster that i was before . real cheese people are ham and swiss people . lani : private party ? that 's weird . eli . are you here ? [ laughs ] what is going on ? [ laughs ] i thought this place was closed for a private party . eli : oh , it is . ours . i asked my grandmother if i could rent it a couple hours . lani : to do what , exactly ? eli : you remember the other day , you said that you could not take , and i quote , `` one more day of cold `` and that if you had any sense , you 'd be on the next flight back to miami ? lani : too bad i used up all my vacation days . eli : well , i figured , if you ca n't make it back to miami , i 'd bring a little miami sunshine to you . [ both laugh ] lani : this is your idea of miami ? [ laughs ] eli : let 's see . does a mojito help ? lani : yeah , that works . [ laughs ] diana : no . no , i do n't know ted laurent . i 've read about him . he represented that infamous serial killer , ben -- ben -- ben weston . will : right , that -- that 's him . diana : yeah . i ca n't believe they 'd let that psycho free . killed four people , did n't he ? will : three , actually . diana : so how does ted fit into all of this ? will : well , it turns out , ted and leo were working together . diana : my son was in cahoots with ted laurent . interesting . hope : working with me , huh ? planning on joining the police academy , counselor ? ted : [ laughs ] uh , no , not quite . but last night , detective grant mentioned melinda trask had resigned . started thinking i might be a good fit for the job . hope : you 're a defense attorney . you want to be the da ? ted : well , defending criminals is definitely lucrative . but it also takes its toll . i starting thinking it would be a little bit more satisfying to put them away . hope : that 's a noble notion . i 'm sure i do n't need to remind you that you 've broken the law yourself more than once . ted : no , you do n't need to remind me . thank you . but i want to change my life . i want to fight for the good guys now , to be a better person . it 's because of you , hope . i want to do it for you . will : as far as we know , leo is working on his own now . diana : so he used ted 's photos to force sonny into marrying him ? forgive me . i 'm sure sonny is a fine young man . but why would my son be so interested in him ? will : sonny is a kiriakis . the name comes with a lot of money and power . and leo is ... very attached to that . diana : it does carry a certain cachet . will : exactly . diana : again , i 'm not surprised . our family comes from money -- not as much as the kiriakises , but ... but , uh , matthew got used to the finer things . and before i knew it , he was spending money like there was no tomorrow . he would 've gone through our entire family fortune if i had n't cut him off when he was younger . will : that sounds familiar . diana : he still resents me for it . he said that i was denying him the life to which he had grown accustomed . can you believe that ? will : actually , yes , i can . diana : so when i suggested that he actually go out and make a living , he took an interest in art , which required a lot of money for supplies and gallery spaces . will : oh , let me guess . he expected you to pay for all of it . diana : and i did ... at first . but the more expensive the projects became and the more questionable his talent ... [ chuckles ] will : you do n't think he 's talented ? diana : have you seen his work , will ? something only a mother could love , and i do n't love it . i was trying to get him to be realistic about his future and to learn to be responsible . will : well , i - i -- unfortunately i do n't think that lesson took , because he will still do anything for a quick buck . and because of that , sonny and i are living a nightmare . diana , look , i - i - i know leo is your son . but would you be willing to help us ? oh ! oh ! lani : it was really sweet of you to do this for me . eli : no need to thank me . i just needed a reason to see you in a bathing suit . [ both laugh ] i thought this was supposed to be relaxing . lani : [ laughs ] i 'm relaxed . you know , we should go to miami for real . i would love to show you all of my favorite places -- the art walk , the miami city ballet . and we would have to stop in for a cuban sandwich . that actually sounds kind of boring . eli : are you kidding me ? lani , the last thing you are is boring . i want to know everything about you . lani : well , when you meet my mother , you will know more than you ever wanted to know . trust me . eli : well , if she 's anything like you , bring it on . lani : [ laughs ] actually , i ... ca n't wait for you two to meet . i know my mom is going to ... love you just as much as i love you . eli : uh , wait . what 'd you just say ? lani : [ laughs ] marlena : ben , i 've got to say that your last statement concerns me . are you saying that you feel like you -- you could kill again ? ben : no , no . no , i did n't mean that , i swear . [ sighs ] i just ... ciara makes me feel like i have purpose , like i 'm worth something . like ... she 's my anchor . without her , i am ... i 'm lost . marlena : you can not let ciara define you . you ca n't let somebody else create your self - worth . that comes from within you . and i know that you know that . ben : i do . you 're right . i just ... [ sighs ] i care about this girl so much . and the thought of losing her forever , dr . evans ... it 's killing me . diana : you make a very compelling case for you and sonny . it sounds like you were both my son 's victims . will : you 're not sure ? diana : [ chuckles ] i would want to hear his side of things before i make any judgments . you just told me that you and sonny thought you killed my son . how do i know that 's true , that it was n't intentional or premeditated ? will : because i swear to you , it was self - defense . diana : and if it is the truth , how exactly do you think i can help you ? matthew and i are n't close . i honestly have very little sway over him . will : well , i - i realize that . but sonny noticed that when leo talks about you , he gets very agitated . he gets upset . he shuts down . diana : does he say anything in particular about me ? no , it 's all right . i 'm tough . i can take it . will : okay . um ... he said you were a monster . diana : [ laughs ] that 's it ? [ sighs ] believe me , he 's called me far worse to my face . will : i 'm sorry . diana : no , no . i 'm tough , as i said . will : anyway , um ... we were really hoping that you could provide us with some information that we could use to neutralize his -- his threats . diana : so you are looking for ammunition . will : essentially , yes . so is there anything you could tell us ? i landed . leo : mother kiriakis . adrienne : do n't you `` mother kiriakis `` me . leo : is there a problem ? adrienne : yes , there is , and it 's you , you little piece of trash . it 's time you and i got something straight . diana : my son is no angel . he 's gotten in plenty of trouble over the years and left a trail of victims , including me . in some ways , it would serve him right if i gave you the ammunition you need . however ... he is my son . and though i am sympathetic to your cause , he is my flesh and blood . and i do love him . will : well , i mean , of course you do . of course you do . but like you just said , your son has hurt a lot of people . what he 's doing right now is not right . it is wrong . it is horribly wrong , in fact . and it sounds like you could do something to -- to -- to stop him . diana : i think you need to leave now . will : diana , i mean , come on . you got to -- you got to -- please , help me . diana : no . no , i can not . will : you ca n't ? yes , you can ! you just -- you just wo n't ! and that -- that 's wrong too . do n't you see that ? what you 're doing now is wrong . diana : i have given you enough of my time . good - bye , will . [ tense music ] ted : hope , you inspired me . seeing how you fight for what 's right ... i want to do the same thing . hope : okay . even if your intentions are pure and you want the job for all the right reasons -- [ cell phone rings ] oh , sorry . excuse me . ted : sure . hope : uh , just give me a moment . hey , theo . thank you , honey , for calling me right back . yeah , i just want to check in with ciara . what ? oh , no . i had no idea . uh , honey , send me her flight information right away , okay ? thank you . bye . ted : hope . hope : huh ? ted : what 's -- what 's wrong ? hope : uh , ciara , she , um -- she left south africa . booked an earlier flight home , apparently . according to theo , her flight should 've landed hours ago . wonder why she has n't called or texted me . ben : i should get going . marlena : ben , wait . wait . before you go ... i know it 's been really rough for you lately . do you have some sort of a support system ? ben : father 's in prison . and , um , my sister , jordan , um , we have n't been in touch for a while . marlena : maybe you could reach out to her . ben : maybe . marlena : what about your , um -- your living situation ? where are you staying ? ben : just at the motel . i ca n't really afford to stay there forever , but , um ... i do n't know . maybe i 'll go back to the homeless shelter for a little while . marlena : i - i just -- i wish your living situation were more stable . ben : me too . marlena : what about your meds ? are you taking them ? ben : i might have missed a dose , maybe two . i just ran out . marlena : ben , it 's important that you take those . ben : i know . marlena : i know you know that . ben : [ exhales heavily ] marlena : that 's another prescription . take that to the hospital pharmacy . they wo n't charge you . they 'll just fill it for you . and i want to see you more often , at least twice a week . ben : thank you . sounds good . thank you again . marlena : yeah , i 'm here for you . i really am . i think you know that , do n't you ? ben : i do . thank you . [ dramatic music ] before i had the shooting , lani : you heard what i said . and i meant it . eli : well , in that case ... i think i need to hear it again . lani : i said ... i love you , eli grant . eli : i love you too . lani : [ laughs ] adrienne : you may be married to my son for now . but if you try to force him to consummate this marriage , you 're gon na live to regret it . leo : [ laughs ] i do n't believe it . sonny went running to his mommy ? adrienne : well , mommy 's gon na make sure that you keep your hands -- and other parts of your body -- to yourself . because if you do n't , you will never consummate anything again .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : what do you mean , you 've had a change of heart ? crawford : that 's exactly what i mean . max : well , i -- you said that if i told you where the body was and the autopsy proved that he was killed by the fall , you would n't ask the d.a . to prosecute . crawford : the autopsy is n't gon na tell us anything but that he 's dead , and i can see that with my own eyes . stephanie : we made a deal , mr. decker . max : you said you would let the police do their job and let the d.a . decide whether or not there was enough evidence to prosecute chelsea . stephanie : which there is n't . crawford : maybe . maybe not . but i can damn sure make your life hell . chelsea : mine ? crawford : i just came from the morgue . you do n't know what it 's like to see someone you love dead . on second thought , maybe you do . max : listen , decker , you 're crossing the line . crawford : you listen . my wife and i have been sitting by his side for hours . he 's so alone . he 's so cold . his body is -- i ca n't even describe his body . it 's just broken and defiled . max : you want to talk about `` broken and defiled `` ? i 'll give you `` broken and defiled . `` do you ever take account of how many girls whose bodies and hearts and souls have been broken and defiled by him ? have you taken in account all the girls he tried to break and defile , huh ? crawford : there 's no proof that he did anything wrong , but there is proof about one thing , and that proof is lying cold in the morgue . that body belonged to my son -- full of life . a future full of possibilities . max : yeah , a future full of victims . crawford : the victim was ford . max : really ? crawford : you -- you -- you make yourselves sound like you 're these poor , little innocents who had this horrible , horrible injustice thrown on them . stephanie : that is a lie , and you know it . look , we did n't want to kill ford . we just wanted him to stop hurting people . that 's why we went to the police , the dean ... spread flyers everywhere . crawford : and then you set him up . why would he come over to your house if he had done all of those things ? he 'd be too afraid you 'd retaliate . coming over to your house would have been the last thing he would have done . but somehow ... you lured him over there , did n't you ? that 's just one more piece of evidence against you . chelsea : look , your son came over to our house because he thought he could do whatever he wanted without ever , ever having to suffer the consequences . he was arrogant , just like you . he did n't think he could ever be touched . crawford : but you touched him , did n't you ? you drugged him and you touched him so hard he fell down those stairs and broke his neck . chelsea : i did not . crawford : you did not ? max : hey . crawford : i 'm going to the d.a . i 'm gon na have him press full charges against you , no matter the outcome of the autopsy . may you rot in hell for what you did . nick : it 's all right . it 's all right .

[ chuckles ] well , i - i was overwhelmed and overworked . marlena : what did you do ? colleen : i hired help . and as the word of me designs grew , so did me business . and i found i had a knack for finances , as well . so the money i made allowed me to make inquiries regarding my relations . hope : when did you find out that you had relatives in salem ? colleen : only recently , when i found out stefano harbored the anger and resentment that he did toward the brady 's and how he tried to hurt you and them . well , i took some responsibility for that . some of what happened was my fault . marlena : for the man stefano became , he has only himself to blame . colleen : oh , had i not destroyed his father 's heart , he might have grown to be an amiable young man . bo : i doubt that . there 's not an amiable bone in his body . he 's evil . colleen : yeah , that he is .

bo : fancy face ... it 's not too late . when stefano gets here , we can tell him we changed our mind , that we do n't agree to his terms . okay ? heck , we can say , `` if mrs. h did n't want people to know what 's inside that box , neither do we . `` [ scene_break ] ej : okay , `` i believe that when you couple strong democratic principles to a sound fiscal policy , we can reverse the ... downward spiral ... of the previous administration . `` [ clears throat ] nicole : wow . that actually sounded like it meant something . ej : it means you do n't have to make any of those pesky promises you 're expected to keep after the election . nicole : well , it was a wonderful performance , and you seemed well versed on the issues . ej : it 's easy to be well versed when you know the questions in advance . nicole : uh ... ej ... ej : mm - hmm ? nicole : [ clears throat ] perhaps you should be careful about what you say around will . you know , his family is friends with abe . ej : oh , william 's not going to say anything . are you , william ? [ scene_break ] madison : sami , thank you for coming right over . sami : yeah , hey , no problem . kate took the afternoon off , so i have plenty of time to focus on this . i have been thinking a lot about it . i have some new ideas for how we can sabotage the ad campaign . madison : sami -- sami : but one thing we have to talk about is , i want to make sure that we keep covering my tracks so that kate does n't find out that i am working for you . madison : listen , it 's not going to be a problem . um , uh , we 're not going to sabotage her campaign . sami : excuse me ? madison : sami , i asked you over here so that i could tell you that i 've definitely decided to pull the plug . i do n't want you to spy for me anymore . [ scene_break ] ej : one thing that i really do n't have to worry about is the loyalty of my staff , right , william ? will : right . ej : good . see , it would never cross his mind to tell abraham or anybody else , for that matter , how i managed to acquire the questions for the debate . will : oh , of course not . nicole : all right , that 's it . i want to know what the hell is going on here , now ! [ scene_break ] hope : [ sighs ] this is n't like me ... vacillating back and forth . bo : no , it 's not . hope : i want to know what gran had on stefano . finding out gran 's own secret ... oh , god , you know , part of me just wants to call this whole thing off ... give that damn safe deposit box back to the bank manager , and then walk out and throw this key into the river . bo : but you ca n't do that , can you ? hope : no . i ca n't . brady , if what 's inside this box affects my family as badly as i think it does , how can i ? how can i walk away ? i ca n't . and i 'd wonder the rest of my life what was inside here . bo : the difficulty is ... getting that little piece of information involves making a deal with the devil . stefano : and so it does . here he is now . [ scene_break ] nicole : i said i want to know what 's going on here . ej : you have nothing to worry about . nicole : oh , i think i 'll make that decision . i am so tired of you blowing me off every time i ask about will . ej : you just do n't like not knowing what i 'm up to . nicole : no , i do n't . ej : well , i can certainly understand that . i was n't very thrilled when you transferred a rather generous sum of money into william 's bank account . nicole : oh . you know about that ? ej : i know about that . nicole : well , i can explain . ej : you do n't need to explain . i know exactly what you were up to . nicole : fine . so what are you going to do ? ej : i 'm gon na write you a very large check to cover the balance of your failed bribe . nicole : so you 're not upset ? ej : no , i 'm not upset . one of the joys of being in a relationship with you is that i know you very well . [ scene_break ] nicole : [ scoffs ] maybe you do n't know me as well as you think you do . and you , will -- you turned me in ? seriously ? will : i work for him , not you . nicole : fine . fine . well , since you have your pretty little intern here , i guess you wo n't miss me . ej : miss you ? nicole : yeah . because i quit . ej , if i 'm not part of your inner little circle here , then i 'm leaving . ej : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] stefano : i assume that you asked to meet me here because you have decided on using your grandmother 's key . bo : and i assume that you brought yours . stefano : ah , indeed . there it is . however ... i will repeat ... [ clears throat ] i have given you fair warning as to what you 're about to discover . once you open that box with this key ... there is no turning back . bo : your concern for my wife 's welfare is touching ... and selfless ... 'cause i 'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that you have as much at stake as she does . stefano : that 's true . so ... i guess we are going to have a very illuminating day , all of us . [ scene_break ] sami : can you run that by me again ? you wo n't believe what i thought you just said . madison : i want you to stop spying for me . sami : that 's what i thought you said . we talked about this . were n't you listening ? you agreed -- madison : i never agreed . sami : i trusted you . i have taken a huge , huge risk , and now you 're just going to hang me out to dry ? i do n't even get a say ? madison : i 'm not hanging you out to dry . sami : it feels like you are . you asked me to earn kate 's trust , and i earned kate 's trust . you asked me to spy on her , and i have reported everything that she has done back to you . if kate finds out that i have been spying -- i mean , she invented the word `` revenge . `` and now she is married to stefano dimera . madison : are n't you the one who just got finished telling me that there 's no danger in you spying on kate ? sami : yes , right , there 's no danger , as long as she thinks i 'm on her side . if she finds out what i 've been up to , she will kill me . madison : no , she wo n't , sami . listen to me -- i very much appreciate everything you have done for me , and i swear i 'm going to protect you . sami : how ? madison : i told you that i had an exit strategy in place , so i 'm just going to have to move the date up a little bit and make a few modifications . sami : yeah , yeah , we 've talked about this `` exit strategy . `` i 'd like to hear some specifics . [ scene_break ] nicole : how many times have i told you , ej ? i can not do my job in the dark . ej : how many times have i told you , nicole -- nicole : that you 're protecting me -- yes , i know , okay ? but unless you 're burying bodies in the backyard , i -- yeah , that , i do n't want to know about -- but hiring an intern should n't be a state secret . the only person you 're protecting is yourself . ej : from what ? hmm ? nicole : i do n't know , ej . you tell me . ej : so i tell you , or , uh ... [ clears throat ] you 're going to walk away from your job ? from everything ? nicole : i ca n't live like this , ej -- i told you . ej : nicole , did it ever occur to you that the person that i might be protecting might be william ? nicole : no . wait . what ? ej : he has a secret . now , that 's something that i promised i would n't repeat . nicole : and what does that have to do with you ? ej : what do you think it has to do with me ? i 'm blackmailing him . nicole : [ scoffs ] you 're blackmailing him ? [ scene_break ] ej : william , would you like to , uh , do the honor , or shall i ? will : do you think this is funny ? i do n't . ej : i - i have the upper hand . i always have fun with that . will : oh , yeah , right . ej : you see , it occurred to me that william 's long - standing ties to the carter family could actually be , uh , quite useful . [ scene_break ] nicole : and he agreed ? why ? ej : you were n't actually here when i was shot at the altar , were you ? nicole : no , but i heard about it . you were going to marry sami , but lucas put you out of your misery with a bullet . ej : well , i mean , that 's sort of what lucas wants everybody to believe , but the truth is , uh , a little different to that . [ scene_break ] sami : that 's it ? that 's your plan to protect me ? madison : it will work . you need to believe me . sami : i can not believe this . our plan was to double - cross kate , and now you are double - crossing me . madison : that 's not how i work , sami , and if i was double - crossing you , why would i tell you exactly what i 'm doing ? sami : let 's be clear . i have broken a few laws here , and if the truth comes out , you 're going to cover your own ass , and i am going to have to face the consequences . and , madison , i am not going to let you do this to me . [ scene_break ] stefano : i wonder ... have you truly thought this through , my dear ? hope : do n't call me that . bo : do n't call her that . stefano : okay , fine . that 's -- all right . so your grandmother had something on me , but , uh , let 's talk about what it could be . hope : well , we think it 's something extremely damaging that could put you away for the rest of your life . stefano : oh , goodness ' sake , that 's so foolish . do you really think that your grandmother would let me get away with something like , let 's say , murder ? hmm ? and any lesser crime certainly has been taken care of years ago . but i 'll tell you what , let 's forget about talking about me , huh ? let 's talk about you ... and your family . now , i know that whatever she has on me could hurt me , but i also know that i could take it . you , on the other hand , have no idea what family member is going to be hit when you open that box ... or what is going to happen to them . bo : so you keep saying . hope : you know what ? when you threaten me and my family , then i know i 'm doing the right thing . stefano : hmm . so , we proceed . hope : so , we proceed . stefano : ah . now , i reiterate my stipulation -- when i open that box with my key , only i take what she left in the envelope for me . neither one of you touch anything that she left for me in that envelope . [ scene_break ] sami : [ scoffs ] madison : look , i get that you 're upset , and i get why , but you need to calm down and stop making this all about you . sami : it is about me , madison . it 's about me , because i 'm the one who 's going to have to pay for this . madison : why ? it was my idea . so , if it comes to it , lay it all on my doorstep . i wo n't deny a thing . that 's not how i roll . sami : kate wo n't care whose idea it is . i 'm the one who did it . we are talking about a woman who was willing to send me to death row for a crime she knew i did n't commit . have you not been listening ? if she finds out what i have done , a horde of dragons wo n't stop her from getting revenge on me . [ scene_break ] nicole : so lucas wanted everyone to think ... that he shot you . ej : oh , and they did . they just sort of skipped over the fact that lucas has never really been successful at anything that he ever attempted . will : watch it . ej : you 're right . that was a step too far . it was one of lucas ' finest moments . he was looking out for his pride and joy -- his son , william . will : you are a son of a bitch . ej : i 'm a son of a bitch . you 're a bad shot . probably a good thing , otherwise neither one of us would be standing here today . -my toes know . -my shoulders know . nyquil : you know i relieve coughs , sneezing , fevers ? nicole : i can see it in his eyes -- it 's true . ej : yes , william wanted me dead . but not anymore . right , william ? [ scene_break ] madison : you did n't really think this was going to go on forever , did you ? sami : i thought it would go on long enough to nail kate , which we have n't . madison : it 's too dangerous , sami . you just said so yourself . sami : ending it is what 's dangerous , madison . the timing could not be worse . madison : i think that you 're having an emotional reaction because you enjoy sticking it to kate , and you enjoy collecting two salaries . sami : well , then let me be clear . it is n't about that . you think i 'm the one being emotional right now ? madison , i do n't care what `` reasons `` you give me for doing this . we both know you 're doing it for brady . [ scene_break ] bo : about this stipulation of yours ... stefano : mm . bo : you 're obviously scared of what you 're going to find in that box . stefano : no , no , i 'm not scared . i think i 've been pretty honest with myself throughout my life , and , uh , to tell you the truth , i do n't particularly give a damn what anybody thinks about me in the world , outside of my family , of course . so i really do n't think there 's anything very threatening in there . bo : and yet you 're negotiating for us to not find out what it is . stefano : no , no , no , no , there is no negotiating anymore , because you ca n't find out anything about what 's in there without my help . hope : and you wo n't know what 's in gran 's envelope ... without my help . could change your family 's feelings about you . stefano : what , are they going to find out that i did something bad ? [ laughs ] no , they ca n't find out anything worse than what they already know . i had a great deal of respect for your grandmother . but i must say , by the end of the day , i do n't really think that she was a match for me . [ scene_break ] madison : sami , come on . i 've already explained to you brady told me some things -- some things that you should have shared with me -- things about -- about his family and the dimeras . and i mean , kate -- come on . i knew she was a bitch , but i did n't know she was a murderer . sami : well , i thought you 'd done your research . i knew the risks , and i was willing to take them . madison : but now you 're not . sami : i just explained to you -- it 's completely different . madison : mm - mm . sami : ending it -- madison : clearly , we never should have done this in the first place . and you know what ? i 'm not gon na apologize for brady being part of my decision . he is a really shrewd businessman . sami : well , this is not a shrewd business move . this is letting the guy you 're sleeping with call the shots . madison : he is not calling the shots . first of all , he did n't even get upset with me , really . i mean , he was n't angry . he just said he was -- sami : what ? madison : disappointed , you know ? he said that he thought i was better than this . sami : he 's not one to judge . madison : oh , you know what , sami ? come on . whoever he used to be , that 's not who he is anymore . and you of all people should really understand . sami : okay . your boyfriend is disappointed in you . my husband is disappointed in me . i 'm not gon na let my personal life get mixed up with my professional one . madison : you think that rafe is just gon na forgive and forget ? sami : i think that i have worked too hard on this project to let rafe ruin it by being disappointed in me . madison : well , i 'm sorry , sami . look , brady and my relationship is way more important to me than any competition with countess w. i 've made a decision , and it 's final . 'cause you know what ? i 'm the boss . [ scene_break ] ej : darling , as you know from experience , sometimes relationships that begin on a sour note can end up being quite successful . and , uh , you know , i think william here is going to make an excellent addition to our team , and , uh , you 're learning a lot , are n't you , william ? will : yeah . a lot . ej : now , you see , one day , we 're going to be able to trust him without this sword hanging over his head . but for now , the sword is there , so , uh , i suppose that point 's moot . nicole : oh , i do n't know . maybe he 'll take another shot at you . ej : oh , he was an agitated young man . i was about to marry his mother . those days are long gone . [ scene_break ] will : are they ? nicole : how did you find out about this , ej ? who else knows ? ej : just the three of us who know . and how i found out is irrelevant . now , william , i can understand your being a little bit concerned with me sharing this information with nicole . one day you 'll understand . when you meet your soul mate , you just do n't keep secrets from one another . will : i would n't know . ej : well , you will . and right now i think it 's important that the three of us put our cards on the table . will : all of them ? ej : excuse me ? will : i , uh -- i was just curious as to , you know , how far you wanted to go with this full - disclosure thing . you know , i mean , should i ... um , how 'd you say it , uh ... put my cards on the table ? [ scene_break ] sami : all right , madison , maybe you 've never experienced what it feels like to be a parent -- wondering how you 're going to feed and clothe your children and keep a roof over their head . but that is what i 've been dealing with , and these two paychecks have made a huge difference in my house , especially considering rafe 's last paycheck brought in 18 cents after taxes . madison : i think that was a cop - out , really . i do n't know rafe that well , but i have a feeling this money you 're bringing in does n't mean a whole lot to him . sami : you 're right . you do n't know rafe that well . and more importantly , you obviously do n't know me that well either . [ scene_break ] nicole : again , what the hell is going on here ? ej : william is learning to play in the big leagues . you were saying ? will : i was saying that i do n't like being treated like a child . ej : i was n't treating you like a child . will : oh , i think you were . and if it 's so important for you to be honest with nicole , then ... i do n't know -- should n't she know everything ? ej : if you really think that 's necessary , william ... go ahead and tell her . [ scene_break ] hope : i know you 'd like to think you were smarter than my grandmother , better at protecting your family , but you were n't . in fact , you are n't . bo : and the fact that you made this deal with her proves that you know it . hope : you know , as much as i hate to admit it , i think you and i have something in common . stefano : really ? hope : yes , we both want to know what 's inside this damn box so we can each protect our families . [ scene_break ] madison : sami , i do know you . i 've known you since you were a little kid . sami : well , i 've changed a lot since then . madison : well , so have i , but some things have n't changed . i have a lot of admiration for your talent and for your drive , and that 's why i hired you in the first place . sami : spare me the speech . it does n't matter that we used to pull each other 's hair on the playground when we were kids . everything is different now . i got to be honest , i 'm disappointed . i thought you had more nerve . madison : well , you know what ? there 's a time for nerve , and there 's a time to protect your heart . sami : i can do both . and i 'm gon na prove it . madison : no , no , sami , no ! listen , i do not want you to spy for me anymore . sami : fine . madison : you need to go to kate , and you hand in your resignation . tell her your family needs you . sami : i 'm not going to do that . madison : excuse me ? sami : i am not resigning from working for kate . madison : you 're gon na quit , sami , and that 's an order . sami : well , i would have to take that order ... if i still worked for you . i 'm , sorry , madison , but this is my official resignation . my family needs me . [ scene_break ] stefano : say whatever you want , all right ? but let me remind you of something . it was you and your husband that came to me first , huh ? because as far as i 'm concerned , we could leave this box here till eternity and throw the key away . bo : why did n't you do just that -- throw the key away ? that would have been the end of it . stefano : perhaps i should have . perhaps your grandmother should have . but , you know , it 's not too late . just say the word , we close this up , and we go home . bo : oh , my god , are we really back to that ? hope : gran did n't get rid of the key , because she wanted someone to know what was inside that box . this key literally fell into our hands . stefano : kaboom , like from heaven . hope : i believe it happened for a reason . this is the right thing to do . so let 's open it . oh it 's clearance time ! [ scene_break ] nicole : okay . i do n't care which one of you it is that tells me , but somebody just tell me what 's going on here . ej : william , you do n't mind if i take this one , do you ? will : mm - mm . ej : darling , the truth of the matter is that i 've , uh ... i 'm feeling quite shabby about the way in which i coerced young william here to come and work for me , using his youthful indiscretions to blackmail him . nicole : yeah , i can see it 's really getting to you . ej : well , you know me . [ clears throat ] look , if i make a mistake , i 'm the first person to admit that i 've made a mistake , and i make amends for it . so i bought him a new sports car . you know , i gave him a nice parking space at his new apartment in the dimera complex . will : new a - apartment ? ej : yes , you should really see it . it 's quite fantastic . you 're right up on the penthouse . you have a fantastic view of the town square . it 's very lovely . it 's very sort of , um -- very sort of man - about - town , you know , uh , cosmopolitan . our friend here 's going to have a very active social life . nicole : that 's , uh -- that 's really generous of you , ej -- uncharacteristically generous . [ cell phone rings ] nicole : i have to get this . it 's about the debate . alan , what 's up ? will : wow . you , uh ... gave me car , and now you ... gave me an apartment . ej : i thought , william , that it was time for you to have a taste of freedom . it 's time you really began to explore what life has to offer . will : mm . that sounds great . ej : so ... we 're good ? will : no . you should not have told nicole about the shooting ... because it kind of makes me feel like you 're not , you know , trustworthy . go figure , huh ? [ scene_break ] stefano : [ sighs deeply ] hope : this is the right thing , is n't it ? bo : fancy face , you got to trust yourself . it 's your call . [ scene_break ] ej : i may not be completely trustworthy . but i am bloody generous . will : so you think i 'm -- i 'm some kid that you can just buy off with a shiny , red fire truck ? ej : i do n't think you 're a child at all , william . i think you 're a young man . and that 's why i bought you a bachelor pad and a nice sports car to go with it . will : that 's not generosity , ej . that 's you trying to keep me from telling nicole what i know . ej : if you tell nicole about my latest indiscretion ... it 's going to put a rather significant kink in our relationship , william . now , on the one hand , she and i have weathered much bigger storms than this . and on the other , you 'll go to prison for the rest of your life . tell you what ... why do n't you go upstairs , pack your bags , go over to your new apartment ? the doorman will give you the key . and if i need you for anything , i 'll call you . will : and if i say no ? ej : we both know you 're not going to say no . will : right . ej : oh , and , william ... do n't ever threaten me again . okay ? people have tried before . it never worked out very well for the other guy ... ever . [ scene_break ] madison : that 's crazy , sami . you ca n't keep working for kate . sami : no ? madison : you just got finished telling me what a bitch she is , how dangerous she is , and that you do n't trust her . sami : i do n't trust her , but at least i know that . i trusted you , and look where that got me . madison : oh , i think this deal 's worked out pretty good for you , actually . sami : well , now you 've made it clear that the deal is done . so it 's time to move on . madison : with someone who tried to have you killed ? sami : eh , well , we 're past that , are n't we ? i mean , that was when i was involved with her sons , and now i 'm not . now i 'm just the mother to her grandchildren . i think kate likes it . it makes her feel good . it helps her image that she 's helping the family . madison : same old impulsive sami . you 're making a huge mistake , but you know that , do n't you ? sami : madison , i would love to say that it 's been a pleasure working with you . but i ca n't . oh , um , one more thing ... countess w is gon na drive mad world into the ground . good luck .

[ scene_break ] stefano : you know ... if you 've gotten cold feet again , i suppose we could lock the box up , you know ? but it would seem like it 's very anticlimactic after all the drama . bo : fancy face , you do n't have to do this . hope : yes , i do . [ scene_break ] will : johnny , allie ... and sydney .

[ beep ] dario : why do i feel like you 're up to something ? [ dramatic musical flourish ] jennifer : titan is definitely involved ... with whatever is going on at the dock . i do n't know sonny 's involvement . adrienne : does this have anything to do with the kiriakis freighter that sunk ? jennifer : well , i would n't be surprised . and someone is bribing port officials to look the other way on certain shipments . adrienne : where are those shipments coming from ? jennifer : china . brought in for gdr corp by titan . and word has it the dimeras are not very happy about this arrangement . adrienne : oh , boy , kiriakises , dimeras , and hernandezes -- how lovely . and my son could be smack in the middle . jennifer : where 're you going ? adrienne : to pop in on casa de kiriakis , see what i can find out . jennifer : are you sure you 're up to it ? adrienne : of course i am . why would n't i be , right ?

[ soft music continues ] [ music becomes tense ] gabi : i was almost into the computer at the tbd when dario walked in . abigail : well , did he know what you were up to ? gabi : i told him i was looking at the weather . abigail : and he bought it ? gabi : no . not exactly . so i kinda ... ran outta there fast . abigail : he was already suspicious because i was in there being all flirty with myron , trying to get the password . gabi : okay , listen , we can not go back there . if we 're gon na find that drive and stop this war , we need to use our resources . abigail : what kind of resources ? gabi : people that we 're close to , people that trust us . abigail : you mean chad . gabi : you know , i ran into him . he looks ... happy . abigail : yeah , things are good . i mean ... they 're really good . gabi : i 'm happy for the both of you . really happy . but listen , let 's just make sure we stay at the job at hand . abigail : yeah , um ... okay , i do n't think that chad knows anything about the orwell device . if he did , i - i do n't think he would share it with us . he 's just too protective of both of us . gabi : right , yeah . i do n't think he has anything anyway . but what we do have is something better . we have someone right in the middle at kiriakis . abigail : sonny . [ lightly suspenseful music ] andré : so , will abigail and kate be joining us this evening ? chad : [ ahem ] uh ... no , not this time . i filled in kate , but ... abigail is currently with gabi . andré : with gabi ? well , that 's rather civilized of them . so i see things are going well with abigail . chad : very well . andré : and that you , uh , share your ... marriage -- chad : okay -- boundaries . [ laughs ] andré : i apologize . i - i just care about you both , and i know you 've had such a terrible year , you deserve all the happiness in the world . chad : thank you . andré : and there 's nothing i would n't do for either of you . i hope you know that . chad : [ clears throat ] so should we get to business ? so my , uh ... my contact inside titan ... gave me a heads up . the titan ship is going to be delivering an important piece of cargo tonight to the docks . andré : what 's the content of the cargo ? chad : do n't know exactly . has something to do with the orwell . we 're gon na be intercepting it . andré : is n't that excellent work ? yeah . finally ... we 're gon na get back tonight what is rightfully ours . [ dramatic musical sting ] brady : so that 's it ? sonny : looks like a hard drive . deimos : that 's what it is . but that hard drive happens to contain the operating system for the orwell . what 's on that device ... will change the world as we know it . brady : orwell . like ... 1984 , big brother . deimos : exactly . the ability to see or hear anyone , anytime , anywhere . brady : and this was the property of andré dimera . deimos : [ chuckles ] yeah , funny story about that . turns out andré stole it from its creator . which means he has no legal claim over the technology any more than eduardo hernandez does . which also means the orwell is ours . all we need is the key , and it 's ready to use . brady : well ... it really works , i mean , the value of this would be ... deimos : incomprehensible . i mean , think about it . what would a country pay to possess absolute knowledge ? sonny : i do n't know . but i 'm uncomfortable with it sitting out . people have already tried to kill for it . [ edgy music ] arianna : daddy ! sonny : oh , hey ! hold on one second , sweetie . daddy 's got ta put something very valuable in the safe , okay ? okay . come here , pumpkin ! emma : i 'm so sorry . i was changing tate , and she went running off . i hope she did n't bother you . sonny : no , she could never be a bother . but daddy does have to get back to his meeting , and then when i 'm done , i 'm gon na bring you to see mommy . deal ? kiss ? all right , go to emma . go to emma , go , go , go ! adrienne : there 's my gorgeous gi -- oh , baby ! ooh -- oh ! [ laughs ] you just made my day ! where 's your daddy , huh ? emma : he 's in an important meeting . adrienne : ohh ... emma : come on , ari , let 's go check on tate . adrienne : bye , sweetie . see you soon . [ sighs ] [ suspenseful music ] sonny : from now on , before we move forward with the orwell , we have to do it right . no more stealing and no more violence . deimos : there 's not gon na be any need for violence . we 've won . and once that key arrives on the dock tonight , there 's nothing anyone can do to stop us . brady : what exactly is this key you 're expecting ? deimos : well , it 's the final missing piece . the key is gon na activate the device , and once it 's operational , the buyers are gon na be pounding down our door . brady : and we 've taken all precautions to secure this ... shipment ? we do n't need the dimeras sinking another one of our ships , deimos . deimos : they do n't even know it 's here , all right ? we get the key from the dock to the lab , and that 's when we make the device complete . sonny : when does the key arrive ? deimos : 10 : 00 p.m. pier 119 . [ thud ] [ dramatic music ] more `` doing chores for mom `` per roll andré : 10 : 00 p.m. , pier 119 . [ chuckles ] that 's excellent work . i should have learned by now not to underestimate you . chad : i do n't like doing business this way . andré : it was deimos who stole from us first . chad : and i 'm doing it to end the feud between the families . andré : yes , but it was n't us that put the hit out on deimos . chad : you 're the one that sank a kiriakis ship . andré : that was to send a message ! chad : well , i 'm sending you a message now -- no bloodshed , all right ? we 're gon na seize the shipment quickly and cleanly , and we 're doing it to protect our family . andré : i respect that . also , with father out there somewhere ... it 's nice to have a steady hand on the wheel . it 's interesting -- over the last few months , i 've watched you come of age ... the way you 've run the company with confidence and leadership . chad : well ... this is n't about our father 's legacy ... or our family 's legacy . i agree i need to own our dimera name , but i 'm doing this for my family ... my legacy -- my son 's and my wife 's . andré : yeah . i 'm proud ... to be working side - by - side with you ... and to make that a reality . [ dark music ] andré : and i 'm proud that you are my brother . adrienne : [ grunting ] oh ... deimos : here , let me . adrienne : thank you , thank you . whew ! [ exhales ] thanks . deimos : sure . sonny : mom , are you okay ? adrienne : what ? oh , sweetie , i 'm fine . my phone started buzzing , and it was in my purse and i was digging around and looking for it -- then everything fell out . deimos : so what brings you here , adrienne ? adrienne : me ? deimos : yeah . adrienne : i was looking for a missing earring . deimos : you came here looking for a missing earring . adrienne : yeah , yeah . i just probably misplaced it , though . i mean , you know -- chemo brain . i probably put it in the freezer . [ snorts , laughs ] ah ... i should be going , though . sonny : let me walk you to the car . adrienne : no ! no , honey , no need -- emma just told me you 're in an important meeting , and i do n't wan na interrupt , so it 's okay . deimos : yeah . thanks for stopping by , adrienne . adrienne : oh , no , thank you . i 'll call you soon . be careful . oh , thank you . deimos : sure . [ edgy music ] sonny : sorry about that . deimos : i just hope you both realize what the orwell will mean for our family . brady : all right , but we ... we have n't asked ourselves the ethical question here , deimos . i mean , this device is seemingly ... unconstitutional . it 's all- powerful . what if it falls into the wrong hands ? deimos : we have control over that . we decide who we sell it to . brady : you expect me to believe that you 're worried about the ethics of this ? deimos : my job is to make piles of money for this family . i 'll leave the ethics to you , all right , brady ? sonny : and how are you ensuring the safety of the device and our family ? what if someone attempts another hit ? brady : andré already sank one of our ships . dario put a hit out on you , almost had you killed . i mean , god knows what that did to nicole 's custody case -- deimos : all right , you know what , brady ? i will worry about nicole , okay ? but right now , i need to know if you 're both on board ! the key is coming . the orwell is happening . last chance . are you in ... or are you out ? maggie : nicole ? i did n't know you were here . nicole : hi , maggie . maggie : i ... [ exhales ] honey , i have been thinking nonstop about you lately and how painful this must be . nicole : which part ? the part where i stabbed a guy who tried to kill my fiancé or ... having my best friend steal my little girl ? maggie : both . i ca n't believe chloe would do this to you . it -- i mean , it 's so selfish . holly is your child with daniel . and my grandchild . she belongs with you . that 's what daniel would want . chloe must know this ! nicole : she obviously does n't care , maggie . i mean , how could something so wonderful turn into such a nightmare ? maggie : well ... i wish i could help . nicole : just having your support means so much to me , and your kindness . maggie : now , it 's not just mine . you have other people who -- who are there for you . you have deimos and brady . nicole : yeah . brady 's been such a great friend . maggie : nicole , do n't be afraid ... to lean on him right now . i mean , come on , now , he and chloe have been close all these years , and maybe she 'll listen to him . nicole : god , i hope so . maggie : if there 's anything -- if there 's anything you need , anything i can do , anything at all ... i 'm there for you , too , nicole . just as my precious son is . nicole : [ small laugh ] he 's in both our hearts , maggie . maggie : always . he wants us to be okay ! and he wants his little girl to be raised by her mother ... the woman that he ... he loved so very , very much . nicole : daniel is the best thing that 's ever happened to me -- you know that , right ? and now we -- he and i have a little girl ... maggie : [ laughs ] it 's a miracle ! nicole : it is . maggie : [ laughing ] nicole : it is , and i will raise her ... with all the love i have to give . maggie : which is a whole lot . nicole : and you 're gon na help me . maggie : okay . nicole : you know that ? you . you and victor . maggie : oh , yeah . oh , yes , of course ! [ laughing ] nicole : okay . this is gon na happen . it has to . maggie : yes . yes , it has to . nicole : [ whispers ] thank you . maggie ... maggie : [ softly ] i love you . nicole : i love you . sonny : how do you plan on keeping the dimeras and the hernandez family from making a run at the orwell ? deimos : i have it under control . brady : [ scoffs ] meaning what ? deimos : all right , you know what ? you two are getting hung up on the details here . i 'm looking at the big picture ! we have the device . the key is on its way . now , either you 're with me on this or you 're against me . sonny : we agree that we 'll discuss where and to whom we 'll shop it to ? deimos : like i said , that 's the easy part , all right ? trust me , the world is gon na come knocking . sonny : in the right hands , this could do a lot of good -- thwarting attacks before they happen , rooting out criminals while protecting the innocent . deimos : i 'll take that as a yes , and i 'm glad to hear it . brady ? brady : i do n't like the idea of owning something so potentially dangerous . but ... i like the idea of andré or eduardo owning it even less . let 's do it . deimos : congratulations to us all . sonny : all right , well , i 'm gon na take ari to go see her mother at the pub . please let me know when the key gets here . [ door closes ] brady : well , you must be proud . this is a pretty big day for you . deimos : not just a big day for me , brady . and when tonight is over ... this day is gon na down as the greatest day in the history of the kiriakis family . [ dark music ] eduardo : wow . dario : okay , i know -- look , this did n't go exactly like i planned , but i 'm gon na stand by my decision because someone needed to act quickly and go after deimos before he -- eduardo : i do n't wan na hear it . dario : listen , dad -- eduardo : i said i do n't wan na hear it ! [ dramatic music ] you do n't even think about taking someone 's life if there is any other possible solution to a crisis . if you can survive by doing anything else , you do n't do it ! you kill somebody , it 's on you forever . gets down under your soul . which is why , for the sake of this family , if anything like that has to happen , i will be the one to do it . dario : oh , so you wan na do -- eduardo : i will do it . i already carry that weight . i been carrying a mountain of it -- the things i see at night when i close my eyes -- i will not have that for you ! dario : i was trying to do the right thing . i want to turn this family into the business you always dreamed it could be . eduardo : that can still happen -- that 's happening . but it 's not gon na work if you start going off on your own , dario . understood ? dario : understood . [ tense music ] eduardo : what about our guard on the docks -- you heard from him ? dario : yeah , yeah . a kiriakis ship ... is coming in with something very valuable tonight , only it 's not for us . i 'm gon na close up early so i can get there when it arrives . eduardo : and you 're gon na be chill and careful , right ? dario : i will watch my back . eduardo : because when you moved on deimos , you poked a snake ... and he wo n't forget . anything looks like it 's goin ' even slightly sideways , you call me immediately , all right ? dario : i 'll be careful . eduardo : it 's about family , kid . abigail : okay , so you just keep sonny talking as long as possible , and do n't mention what we know about the orwell . gabi : what do we know about it ? abigail : we know that it exists and that everybody wants it . you 're sure you 're cool with this ? gabi : i mean , he 's your cousin . abigail : [ quietly ] you guys are raising a kid together . gabi : yeah , but if we 're protecting him and my family -- abigail : and chad . gabi : yeah . it 'll be worth it . all right , they 're here . hey , guys ! abigail : hi . gabi : hi . got you guys some hot cocoa . how are you ? sonny : nice to see the two of you ... hanging out again . abigail : yeah , i mean , there was some weirdness , but we 're good now . i -- i really missed her . gabi : yeah . turns out we still have a lot of things in common . abigail : mm - hmm . sonny : all right . [ grunts ] ah ! it 's cold out there ! gabi : yeah , it 's perfect hot cocoa weather . you want some hot chocolate ? abigail : oh ! you know , i 'm so sorry . i have to take this phone call , but i will be back in just a minute . do n't go anywhere , okay ? gabi : okay . good luck . hey , ari , why do n't you go find some crayons so you can start your valentine 's day cards , okay ? yeah ? go . go find 'em over there . sonny : do n't have to tell her twice . gabi : yeah . listen , i wanted to ask you . what 's , uh , what 's going on at the house ? i heard about nicole and that man -- it 's so scary . sonny : i 'd rather not talk about it . gabi : listen , i know what they 're saying , that dario sent him to kill deimos before nicole stabbed him , so ... sonny : you need to stay away from whatever is going on . gabi : if there 's -- if there 's something happening , if there 's trouble , you need to tell me , for ariana 's sake . sonny : i will never let anything happen to her . you know that . gabi : that 's not an answer . are the dimeras involved somehow ? sonny : i ca n't tell you . gabi : what -- what do you mean , you ca n't tell me ? we 're family ! if there 's something going on , if we are in danger , then you need to do something about it ! sonny : gabi , please , i am asking you to stay out of it . we have the situation under control ... and we 're not giving that up . [ dramatic music ] nicole : hey . are you still working ? deimos : yes , i am . but i always have time for you . nicole : oh ... that 's sweet . listen , i ... i want you to know how grateful i am to have you . and i - i hope i did n't make it sound like this whole mess is your fault . deimos : no , no , i understand . you 're hurting and you want your daughter back . but i think that 's what chloe wants ... for us to turn against each other . nicole : well , that 's never gon na happen , because i need you now more than ever . deimos : i need you too . but you know what , i 'm starting to think that maybe this is n't even about me . maybe chloe wants holly for herself . nicole : i know you have a lot of work to do , and the timing of this could n't be worse . deimos : [ laughs ] no ! actually , the timing could n't be better . i 'm about to have everything i 've ever wanted . there 's so much i will be able to provide for you and holly . you remember when we thought that chloe was having my child and we said that we would raise it together ? well , now that 's become a reality . holly will be our daughter . and when we walk down that aisle , she 's gon na be right there beside us . we 're gon na be a family . i promise .

[ phone beeps ] [ line ringing ] [ phone beeps ] hi , ciara , it 's me again , mom . honey , please call me , okay ? or text me as soon as you get this . i just want to know that you 're back safe and sound . i just -- i 'm sorry , i know , i 'm starting to nag , and i do n't mean to , but i 'm getting a little worried . i love you . i love you so much . bye , honey . ciara : mom . [ phone beeps ] mom ! [ sobs ] [ tense music ] i landed . stefan : i have a whole pitcher of these , ms . lane . you sure you wo n't partake ? chloe : i 'm working . stefan : well , not for a few hours , you 're not . and technically , this place is still closed . so why do n't you slap this back on the front door , come kick your feet up for a bit ? chloe : no , thank you . stefan : oh , come on . do n't make me drink alone . i do way too much of that at home . [ grunts ] and now , thanks to the dimera board , i have to look at my little brother 's constipated face while i do it . but this face here , i could get used to . chloe : listen , i have a million things to do , and i do n't really have time to stand around here talking to you , so ... stefan : you 're not going to kick me out again , are you ? chloe : [ exhales ] how about you promise to behave yourself , and i will try to ignore you ? how does that work ? stefan : i can be quite difficult to ignore . [ slurps drink ] ah , this is so relaxing ! do you ever relax , ms . lane , or are you always this uptight ? chloe : i am not uptight . i am perfectly relaxed , in fact . i just do n't feel like standing around drinking and schmoozing with you . stefan : what 's the matter ? afraid you might get a little tipsy and divulge your deepest , darkest secrets ? only to be tortured by humiliation and regret ? or , are you afraid that you might actually enjoy yourself , and have to report to people that i 'm good company ? witty and charming . and endure being ostracized for having such an unpopular opinion of me . chloe : yeah , that 's exactly what i was thinking . i 'm afraid of both those things , especially the latter . stefan : well , it 's very attractive , you know ? to overcome your fears . [ laughs ] come on , come on , be brave . [ tense music ] chloe : okay , fine . i will have one drink with you if that 's what it will take to get you off my back . stefan : here you go . diana : no , actually , we have never met . but i feel like i know you . marlena : why 's that ? diana : i used to listen to your radio show . i 'm a huge fan . i think i 've heard every episode . oh , my . dr. marlena evans . marlena : oh , that radio show was many , many years ago . diana : oh , it feels like yesterday to me . i was living in chicago at the time , and i believe your face was on the side of every bus in the city . [ both laugh ] diana : oh , you got me through some rough times . just the sound of your voice was a comfort . marlena : you 're very kind to say that . i 'm glad it was helpful . excuse me . diana : dr. evans . marlena : hm ? diana : i do n't mean to keep you , but as a small token of my gratitude , may i buy you a drink ? [ tense music ] leo : i do admire a ceo who 's not so uppity he ca n't handle his own luggage . brady : yeah . leo : i bet you handle lots of things just as brawn - ily . brady : [ sighs ] leo : and i 'm thrilled to see a new hunk taking over after xander 's untimely departure . but you know what they say : god closes a door , he opens a window . brady : [ exhales ] leo : what , why are you looking at me like that ? did i put my foot in my mouth as usual ? brady : oh , god . let me go unpack . leo : whoa , hold on , hold on . we 're just getting to know each other . brady : why would i want to get to know the little creep that tried to take my family 's company away from me ? leo : well , i did n't succeed , now , did i ? does n't that absolve me of all guilt ? brady : no , as a matter of fact , it doesn't . leo : well , not to mention , also , in my defense , vivian alamain put me up to it . impossible to say no to that woman . brady : not impossible . i actually did say no to her . and then , i managed to bury the bitch alive . leo : well , that must have required quite a bit of digging . brady : hands off . or you might be next . chloe : julie , a supplier , julie , utility bills . julie -- stefan : this is your idea of relaxing ? chloe : one for me -- yeah , it is , because once i 'm through with this , i 'll actually be able to see my desk , and that is relaxing to me . not to mention the fact that my house is an absolute wreck because my son ca n't seem to put anything away himself . and with the recent addition of a toddler , yeah , work is my oasis of peace and order . stefan : well , i certainly would n't want to do anything to undermine your sense of peace and order . ruin your ... oasis . chloe : well , if it did , i 'd only have myself to blame , right ? stefan : mm - hmm . that is indeed true . you could have -- you could have kicked me out , but instead , you took pity on me . did n't want me to drink alone . [ soft music ] so if i - if i may , i had heard that there -- there was some debate regarding your toddler 's custody . that it was somewhat , uh , sprung on you that she was yours to raise . chloe : yeah , it was . but it 's been great . holly is such a joy , and i really love being a mother to her and parker . stefan : but yet , you say you have to come to work to feel peaceful . chloe : well , yeah , but that does n't mean i do n't love the absolute chaos of being around my children , but sometimes you just need a break from it , you know ? when you become a parent , you just get pulled from every which way . maybe you 'll experience that someday , or maybe you won't . maybe you 'll shuffle them off to a nanny , i do n't know . stefan : [ chuckles ] i would never . [ grunts ] when i thought charlotte was mine , i was actually , uh -- i felt bereft when i was n't around her . chloe : you must miss her . stefan : yep , i do very much . chloe : well , she 's still your niece . she can still be part of your life . stefan : no . chad and abigail wo n't let me anywhere near her . they wo n't even bring her by the house . [ tense music ] check this . [ grunts ] i got this for her for christmas . i 've been carrying it with me ever since . pathetic , right ? chloe : no , why would it be ? you thought she was your child . stefan : yeah . to charlotte . chloe : i 'm sorry . stefan : thank you . hope : ciara 's flight landed on time hours ago . where could she be ? ted : you sure she was on that plane ? hope : yeah , they checked the passenger manifest . she was definitely on board . ted : okay , so what about that app ? that find my phone app ? hope : she did n't want me keeping tabs on her , so she deleted it months ago . where the hell is she ? what 's going on ? [ tense music ] ciara : [ coughs ] [ coughs ] [ heavy breathing ] oh , my god . i ca n't get to the door . i have to get to the window . oh , god . [ sobs ] [ grunts ] [ phone rings ] [ heavy breathing ] whoever it is , whoever is calling , please help me . [ sobs ] diana : i was just going over to that cute café for a cocktail . i would love some company . marlena : oh , i 'm sorry . i could n't possibly -- diana : oh , no , no , no , please . as i said , it would be my way of thanking you for the free therapy back in the day . [ laughs ] marlena : there 's no need for that , really . diana : how about if i promise not to tell you my psychological problems or ask for any advice . and i promise i wo n't keep you . i know how busy you are . i respect that . one drink . marlena : all righty . one drink . diana : wonderful , shall we ? marlena : sure . [ tense music ] leo : what is your problem , brady black ? brady : there 's no problem , leo . i just happen to play for the other team , all right ? leo : honey , who are you trying to fool ? that is a serious case of gay face . brady : oh , honey , if you keep this crap up , you 're going to have a serious case of broken arms . leo : whoa , whoa , whoa ! brady : why do n't you take it easy ? leo : what is with all the gay panic around here ? first xander , now you . i have to say , it 's borderline homophobic . bready : oh , for god sakes , man , you are ridiculous . leo : what , are you concerned , worried that you could actually be attracted to a man ? brady : uh , no , not in this lifetime , all right ? leo : never say never . brady : [ grunts ] [ tense music ] as someone in witness protection , diana : so , your radio show . i was a huge fan , as i said , and i was so sad when it went off the air . was that your choice ? marlena : oh , well , in fact it was . you know -- after a while , i realized that some of the fans were just too -- [ sighs ] intense . diana : mm . marlena : and i really love one - on - one therapy , so i went back to my private practice . enough about me . you , you 're from chicago . what are you doing here ? diana : i 'm visiting my son . i have n't seen him in a while , and i thought i 'd check in on him . marlena : are you very close ? diana : we get along , when he 's not driving me completely insane . marlena : ah , yes , yes . i understand that one . diana : you have a son like that ? marlena : no , but i have a daughter like that , who is -- oh , gosh , just -- i love her so . she 's funny and bright and articulate , a great mom . and somebody that just has trouble follow her around wherever she goes . diana : matthew 's the same way . marlena : hm , matthew . oh , now i know your son 's name . i do n't know your name . diana : i 'm diana . diana cooper . marlena : diana , nice to meet -- did you say cooper ? diana : yes . marlena : oh , well , then , matthew cooper is your son . leo : you 've had your fun . now get the hell out of here . diana : [ laughs ] [ dramatic music ] leo : go out the side door , and do not come back . diana : get your hands off me , you little brat ! okay , let 's get something straight . i 'm the parent , you 're the child , or should i say parasitic leech . you do not put your hands on me . you do not talk to me in a condescending , dismissive tone , and you certainly do not tell me what to do . now , apologize this instant . leo : sorry . diana : wait a minute , what did you say ? leo : i 'm sorry , mother . diana : better . do n't forget , matthew , i know things about you that your new husband seems very anxious to learn . we would n't want your posh setup to blow sky - high , would we ? yes , but now , he goes by the name of -- marlena : leo starke . john : should i come back later ? brady : no , what the hell are you doing , huh ? what is wrong with you , man ? leo : you ca n't blame a guy for trying . who 's this silver fox ? john : i am brady 's father . and you must be the infamous leo starke . leo : how do you know that ? john : well , i saw your photo , leo . so tell me , how 's this visit with your mother going ? i 'm assuming it was a heartwarming reunion ? leo : how do you know that my -- john -- john black , the pi ? are you the one who tracked my mother down ? john : one and the same . leo : how dare you ? you had no right to interfere in my life like that . i take back what i said about you being a silver fox . you 're a jerk ! [ tense music ] chloe : do n't you have anything better to do than just lounge around here drinking mojitos ? stefan : ca n't think of anything at the moment . chloe : well , how about , i do n't know , working ? running dimera enterprises ? stefan : mm , it 's running itself at this point . and handily trouncing the competition , i might add . mainly titan . and given that brady is a failed former ceo , i 'm quite confident that dimera will continue to prosper . chloe : as will titan , i 'm sure . stefan : how do you know ? chloe : well , i know because i know brady . not only is he a shrewd businessman , but when he wants something , he goes after it with a vengeance . he 's no pushover . he 's relentless when he needs something . stefan : well , what are you ? his publicist ? chloe : i 'm his friend . stefan : oh . chloe : and ex - wife , actually , so i know him very well . stefan : of course . of course you are . so -- so what went wrong ? chloe : with what ? stefan : what went wrong with -- with your marriage to brady . why 'd you get divorced ? chloe : why does anybody get divorced ? stefan : i do n't know . chloe : we grew apart . stefan : acrimonious ? chloe : no , not -- not at all . well , i mean , at first , sure , but that 's always the case when you first split up with someone . brady 's a good man , and i 'm grateful that we 've reconnected , and that he 's back in my life . in fact , i think we 're closer now than we 've ever been . stefan : and how close is that ? [ tense music ] hope : voicemail again . the more time that goes by -- ted : hope , please . try not to jump to the worst - case scenario . there is a simple explanation why your daughter has been unreachable , that 's all . hope : i 'm trying to think of one , ted . ted : did theo give you any idea why she wanted to come home early ? hope : all he said was that she was missing home . i hope missing home does n't mean ben weston . [ tense music ] diana : so you know leo ? marlena : yes , i do . diana : i can tell from your tone that your interaction was n't pleasant . marlena : well , to put it mildly ... he 's made my grandson 's life a living hell . diana : how so ? marlena : because he blackmailed will 's boyfriend into marrying him . diana : will horton is your grandson ? marlena : he 's a fine young man , and your son has made his life utterly miserable . diana : i 'm sorry . i agree with you . he is a fine young man . marlena : you 've met him ? diana : he came to see me at the salem inn . dr. evans , i am so sorry that matthew has caused so much trouble for your loved ones . marlena : then maybe you could do something to end this terrible situation . i 'm sure that you do n't want your son stuck in a loveless marriage . diana : of course not . and i agree , it is a terrible situation for everyone concerned , and i have tried to talk to matthew . he does not listen to me . marlena : try it again . i mean , you 're his mother . you must have some influence over him . [ tense music ] i 've been trying to think why it 's okay for leo to cause people so much pain . i mean , what could have happened in his life to make him so vindictive ? i do n't know . maybe , somehow , he was traumatized . would you know anything about that ? look . you said that you were helped by my radio show . maybe you can help me in return . maybe you could tell me whatever i need to know about leo . not just for leo 's sake . for everybody 's sake . diana : let me ask you something , dr . evans , if someone were to ask you for personal and potentially damaging information about your daughter ... would you be willing to throw her under the bus for a complete stranger ? i did n't think so . i 've taken up enough of your time . leo : okay , enough with all this chitchat , i 'm starving . i 'm going to have cook make me a snack to bring to bed . i think a salami sandwich will hit the spot . if you 're feeling peckish , i 'm happy to share . brady : what -- john : quite a welcome back , huh ? brady : god , that guy , he 's -- he 's a creep . i feel bad for sonny having to deal with him . i mean , the guy 's a nightmare . john : yeah , right . but you know what , he might not be the only one who has a problem with your coming back here . come on , son , you and victor , your relationship was so complicated . brady : oh -- john : and after a year that 's been fraught , to say the least , with stefan and chad running titan 's main competition . you sure this is all worth it here ? brady : ah , dad , come on . chad and stefan , i 've gone toe - to - toe with them before . i can handle that . john : yeah , without distractions , no doubt you can . but now that eve 's back in the picture here , i mean , come on . that ca n't be easy for you . brady : dad , eve and i , we 're -- we 're history , we 're history . i mean , i have n't even thought about her , honestly . john : yeah , yeah , just like that , huh ? brady : no , it has n't been just like that , but let 's just say i 've had some help getting over it . john : really ? what kind of help ? or is that none of my business ? brady : no , no , no . i do n't mind you asking . i do n't mind you asking , um -- chloe and i have actually reconnected , and it 's been a -- it 's been good . it 's been a positive thing for me . john : you and chloe ? brady : yeah . she 's -- look , she 's been a really good friend to me . john : right , right , right . and that 's , uh ... that 's all you are , is friends ? well , no , that 's really none of my business . brady : no , dad , you 're my father . i know you care , so i do n't mind telling you . i mean , i 'm actually used to people asking me , at this point . john : what do you mean you 're used to people asking ? brady : everyone 's asking . i mean , eve , maggie , they 're all questioning me about it . john : all right , well , did you give them an answer ? because you sure as hell did n't give me one . brady : [ groans ] here 's my answer : yes , chloe and i are just friends . chloe : brady and i are just friends , like i said . stefan : do n't the best relationships always start out that way ? chloe : if you 're asking me if we 're going to get back together again romantically , then i think that 's a very personal question . stefan : in other words , yes . chloe : no , that 's not what i meant . i meant no , i 'm not i 'm not going to answer your question because a : it 's none of your business , and b : i ... i do n't know . i mean , lucas and i got back together . i think thinking that we were going to recapture something we had years ago , and look how that ended up . anyway , enough about me and my love life , or lack thereof . let 's -- let 's -- let 's bring it to you . stefan : bring it -- what about me ? chloe : i mean , there 's got to be life after abigail , right ? [ tense music ] ted : wait , hope , wait . i do n't understand . why would ciara have been missing ben weston ? she went halfway around the world to get away from him . hope : yes , yes , she did . and i could not have been more relieved . hopefully , the final nail in ben weston 's coffin is when ciara found out that he 'd kidnapped gabi hernandez . because before then , she refused to see that she was in a relationship with a dangerous psychopath . ted ... when ben found ciara on the side of the road and held her in that cabin , she actually believed that he 'd rescued her . a form of stockholm syndrome . ted : wow , and then , that fire . hope : yes , the fire . we thought we had irrefutable evidence that ben had set it , and she refused to believe it . ted : as it turned out , that irrefutable proof was planted . hope : yeah , i know , ted . and i still believe that he set it . wait a minute . what if ciara did n't tell me she was coming back early because she was going back to him ? we 've got to find weston . we need to find him now . i know who can help us . no more excuses with cologuard . brady : oh , god , dad , i sure as hell hope i do n't find a horse 's head or a naked leo on my bed tonight . i do n't know which one would be worse . john : yeah , right . so , tell me , have you met leo 's mother yet ? brady : no , why ? hold on , she 's not living here , too , is she ? john : no , no , no , no . she 's over at the salem inn . it took a lot of digging , but i finally found her , and now , we are hoping that she is the one who can help us bring leo down . brady : really ? how would she do that ? john : well , apparently , their relationship has been rather difficult . i mean , you could see by his reaction when he found out i was the one who had gotten her here . brady : oh , yeah , yeah . `` you jerk . `` john : yeah . brady : well , spill the beans . what 's this woman like , anyway ? john : i do n't know , i have n't spoken with her yet . but i 'll tell you what . while you 're getting settled in , i think i 'll shoot on over to the salem inn and see what i can find out . brady : good luck . john : no , you 're going to need the good luck . brady : no kidding . john : i 'll keep you posted . brady : all right . [ tense music ] hope : thank you so much for coming . marlena : well , it sounded important . hope : yes , it is . it 's very important . i 'm sorry , i 'm not sure if you 've met ted laurent . marlena : yes , we have , hello . ted : hello . marlena : hello . hope : marlena , please , have a seat . marlena : sure , okay , um ... hope : right over here . marlena : what is all -- hope : just move it . marlena : what -- no , it 's fine . what is all this about ? what 's happening ? hope : ben , it 's about ben . marlena : ben weston ? has something happened ? hope : ciara went to south africa to see theo . and also , to clear her head . get away from ben , and ... she 's missing again . marlena : in south africa ? hope : no , here . since she got back . apparently , she decided to come home earlier than planned , and no one 's heard from her since -- since she has landed . so i was wondering if , perhaps , ben might know where she is . i know , i know . he 's your patient , i know that . but if you could please just tell me when the last time you saw ben was ? and if you did , did he say anything about ciara ? anything at all ? [ dramatic music ] ciara : [ sobs ] [ screams ] chloe : oh , getting these sorted is making me feel so much better already . stefan : well , here is to feeling even better . pour you another ? chloe : okay , calm down . i 'm done with my mail , but first , let 's get back to you . what about you ? what , are you dating online , or otherwise ? stefan : on -- excuse me , online ? no , no , i have not . i 've been bored and celibate , which is not cool , because i actually enjoy the company of women . chloe : oh , okay , well , if you feel that way , why do n't you go find someone ? you know , it 'll help you get your mind off of abigail , or -- that 's not what you called her when you were with her , right ? stefan : no , chloe . that 's not what i called her . chloe : well , if you made yourself available , i 'm sure women would come knocking down your door . i mean , you are handsome . you 're rich , you 're kind of famous , and you 're witty and charming . stefan : oh , so i got you to admit it ! chloe : yeah . stefan : you admit it . chloe : exactly , well -- a man like you is only single because you want to be . oh , my god . stefan : what , what ? what is it ? [ dramatic music ] [ doorbell rings ] stefan : what the hell is that ? [ dramatic music ] chloe : this is the same knife . stefan : same as what ? chloe : that i used to kill el fideo . i walked in the room , and i stabbed him in the back with it , and he -- he died right in front of us . stefan : well , any idea why someone would send it to you here ? minion : do you realize what you 've just done ? you killed him . you killed el fideo . you signed your death warrant . anywhere you go , we will find you . chloe : i do n't know , i just remember one of his guys said that i 'd just signed my death warrant , and i 'd never have another moment 's peace . but when i came home , nothing happened , and i put it out of my mind . but , oh , my god , what am i supposed to do ? stefan : it 's okay , calm down . the first thing we 're going to do is call the police . [ dramatic music ] leo : are you sure you do n't need a hand ? brady : hands off , remember . leo : so big daddy 's gone , huh ? brady : yeah , big daddy 's gone . and soon , you 'll be too . [ dramatic music ] [ knocking ] john : diana ? diana : hello , roman . marlena : in fact , i saw him earlier today . ted : then at least we know he 's in town . hope : did he say anything about ciara ? marlena : you know i ca n't discuss that with you . hope : yes , i do know that . and under ordinary circumstances , i would respect it , and would n't come to you for help . but these are not ordinary circumstances . my daughter is missing again . i 'm begging . marlena , please . i am begging you . if you know something , anything , please tell me . please . help me find my daughter . please , help me . [ dramatic music ] ciara : [ gasping ] why are you doing this to me ? where am i ? and who are you ? | chloe walked in doug 's place and saw stefan in there . he wanted her to join him for a drink . hope talked to ted about ciara not being in touch with her . he tried to get her not to worry about it . ciara was tied to a bed . the person who held her captive let her hear hope 's voicemail . stefan wanted to have a drink with chloe , but she turned him down . she finally agreed to have a drink with him so he could get off her back . diana told marlena that she knew her because she used to listen to her radio show . diana said she got her through terrible times . diana offered to buy her a drink . leo flirted with brady when he moved in the mansion . leo told him that he wanted to get to know him better , but brady was n't interested after what he did . leo said that vivian was the one who put him up to it . brady said he buried vivian alive and would do the same to him if he did n't stop touching him . stefan talked to chloe about her kids . he opened up to her about how he felt when he thought charlotte was his . chloe said that he could still be in charlotte 's life since she 's his niece . he said chad and abby would n't let him near her . he showed chloe the christmas gift he still carried with him . hope continued to worry about ciara . the person who held ciara captive lit a match in the cabin . marlena agreed to have a drink with diana . brady threatened to attack leo if he kept flirting with him . leo kissed him . john walked in on them kissing . |
john : have some coffee , honey . lexie : thank you . hope : any new information ? john : i 'm glad you 're here . lexie just got the lab reports . let 's hear it . lexie : well , um , ahem , according to tony 's preliminary autopsy report , he was murdered . he suffered massive blood loss and shock , which contributed to multiple organ failure . but what pushed him over the edge happened right here . we did have my brother stabilized . when he went into cardiac arrest , we sent out for more labs . this tox - screen indicates that he was administered a massive dose of a neuromuscular blocking agent called atropine . it caused his paralysis . hope : oh , my god , how could this happen ? i mean , we had a -- we had a guard outside of tony 's cubicle the entire time . john : lex , let me ask you something . is there any way this drug could 've been administered accidentally , you know , like , uh , part of the treatment ? lexie : no , no , it was contraindicated . it was totally intentional . it was the salem stalker making sure my brother would never reveal what he knew . john : initially , we were n't sure whether or not tony was telling the truth , but now ... lexie : tony was n't the only one to put together the evidence . now i know . the killer left her calling card , and it is right here in my hands . [ scene_break ] marlena : celeste , talk to me . what 's disturbing you ? celeste : well , you know about my ... gift . marlena : your psychic abilities , yes . celeste : right now it feels more like a curse . something is preventing me from recognizing the killer 's face , from knowing her name . marlena : well , this phoenix has risen before ... but it 's never , ever going to rise again . marlena : why do you think you know ? celeste : [ gasps ] i most definitely know the truth .

' austin : yeah , my mom and i both did . she would n't listen . she would n't even let us stay for the arraignment . what if she goes to jail ? ' sami : austin , i know you 're worried about your sister , but honestly , i ca n't get zack out of my mind . i mean , he was just an innocent little boy , and he always had this big smile on his face . he 's the only one in my family who was always happy to see me . i guess he was too young not to know better . and i just ca n't get bo and hope out of my head , either . what they must be going through is tough , and i just wish i could have been there for them . ' austin : why did n't you stay ? ' sami : there 's a lot of family stuff that 's happened in the last couple years , and i 'm not as close to them as i used to be . i guess the only person in my family that i 'm close to is my dad ... and my mom before she had amnesia . ' austin : sami , what are you talking about ? you got plenty of people who care about you . ' sami : who ? ' austin : come on , you got will , and you got your grandparents , your sister , me . i 'm your friend . you know ? you can count on me . i 'm always gon na be there for you , no matter what . you know that .

[ scene_break ] ' mimi : no , no , no . this -- this ca n't be true . no , i 'm sorry . shawn can not be the father of belle 's baby because -- because belle was a virgin when she got involved with philip . yeah , he was her first . that i know for sure . belle and shawn never had sex . they took that whole vow of purity . they even had those stupid rings and everything , so how could claire be his ? she ca n't . end of story . ' bonnie : i wish it were , sweet pea . i do n't like this any more than you do , but facts are facts . ' mimi : facts ? ! what are you talking about ? ' bonnie : i 'll tell you , okay ? i was suspicious , so i did a little digging around . ' mimi : oh , god , i do n't think i want to hear this . ' bonnie : remember manny , that hunky emt i used to date ? well , he informed me about a little interesting tidbit regarding shawn and miss purity . ' mimi : what ? ' bonnie : it all had to do with the night that they were rescued from that burning barn the night belle had her car accident . ' mimi : yeah , and shawn found her and rescued her from the river and they ended up in the barn to keep warm from the storm . what ? what ? what ? ' bonnie : apparently the barn was n't the only thing that caught fire that night . according to manny , when the emt 's arrived on the scene , they found belle and shawn passed out in each other 's arms and ... naked as the day they were born . ' mimi : i know that . ' bonnie : you know ? do i have to draw you an x - rated picture of what must have gone down in that hayloft ? ' mimi : they were huddling together to keep warm . i talked to belle about this . i mean , she did n't really remember everything , but ... ' bonnie : now we know . they were so out of it from everything that happened , baby -- the hypothermia and the smoke inhalation from the fire -- that they have no memory of ever doing the nasty , but as sure as i 'm standing here , that is the night they made a baby -- claire . ' mimi : no , no , no . they were just -- they were just trying to keep warm . their clothes were wet so they were trying to stay dry . then they fell asleep . it 's not proof that they had sex . ' bonnie : no . claire 's proof . you know it 's true , meems . you were suspicious yourself when you overheard those nurses talking about how shawn 's blood type was a match to the baby and philip 's was n't . ' mimi : that does n't mean anything either . ' bonnie : on top of that , who turns out to be a perfect match for claire 's liver transplant ? none other than shawn 's little brother . ' mimi : zack and claire are related . that was just a total coincidence . ' bonnie : if you ask me , it 's one coincidence too many . ' mimi : well , there 's still no proof . even you said that it did n't mean anything . ' bonnie : okay , okay , okay . i 'll come completely clean here . ' mimi : there 's more ? ' bonnie : i needed proof . god knows i did n't want to believe this . so i confronted the one person that i had a sneaking suspicion knew the truth , and i was right . ' mimi : who did you confront ? ' bonnie : kate . ' mimi : what ? ' bonnie : she confirmed everything . mind you , it took a little doing to get it out of her , but eventually i did . she has rock - solid proof that claire is shawn 's . ' mimi : how ? how ? what proof ? ' bonnie : she would n't tell me , but believe me , she 's sure . ' mimi : this does n't make any sense . kate knows and she has n't even told her own son ? ' bonnie : of course not . it 's a mother 's job to protect her kid from anything that could be hurtful . ' mimi : hurtful ? philip has a right to know , and you knew and you did n't say anything , either ! ' bonnie : damn it , you 're not listening to me . kate loves her son . she wants him to be happy . she does n't want him to lose belle , just like i do n't want you to lose shawn , and what shawn and belle and philip do n't know wo n't hurt them . why else to you think kate 's been so insistent on you and shawn getting hitched ? ' mimi : because she knew . that 's why she offered to pay for the wedding and the honeymoon and everything . ' bonnie : she 's sure as hell not doing it out of the kindness of her heart . baby , we all know that if belle finds out that claire is shawn 's , she will want out of that marriage so fast . she 's gon na want to be with the man she still loves . ' mimi : i knew this was too good to be true . ' bonnie : what are you talking about ? ' mimi : what do you think i 'm talking about ? there 's no way i can marry shawn now .

' sami : i was happy for you , austin . ' austin : and hell , you 're the one that tried to warn me about not going after highstyle , even before we knew it was carrie 's company . you said it was a big mistake and that i 'd be sorry . i just wish i would have listened to you . things would be a lot different now ..

' sami : yeah , i will . no problem . i 'll talk to you later , austin . bye . [ telephone beeps off ] wow , how did i get so lucky ?

' sami : what do you mean ? ' nicole : well , ever since we started working for austin , you have craved recognition -- always wanting austin to stroke you and praise you for your nonexistent efforts . ' sami : oh -- ' nicole : just wait . but now , today , when we were about to take over highstyle , you agreed that austin should get all the credit ? ' sami : look , i thought that taking over highstyle was a bad idea from the beginning , and i did n't want to have anything to do with it . ' nicole : yeah , but that 's never stopped you from taking the credit before . ' sami : this is austin 's company . obviously , he should take credit for it .. look , as long as austin knows that i work hard and that he can trust me , that 's all that matters to me . ' nicole : [ chuckles ] mm - hmm . ' austin : ladies , here we go . ' nicole : oh , oh . ' austin : one click of the button and we 're online . start the takeover . let 's count down together . okay , ready ? [ exhales deeply ] 5 ... 4 ... ' all : 3 ... 2 ... 1 . ' nicole : ding , ding , ding , ding , ding , ding ! ' austin : wow . ' sami : austin , i 'm not perfect . i 'm not innocent in this . there 's a lot more i could have done to stop you from hurting carrie . [ scene_break ] ' lucas : no , carrie , all right ? sami and i are n't meant to be together . she 's lied too many times . especially last time . it 's just not worth it to me , all right ? the more somebody hurts you , it does n't matter . once that happens , it does n't matter how much you love them or how much you want to be with them . the bottom line is , if you do n't get rid of them , they just bring you heartache and misery . ' carrie : i guess you 're right . i feel the same now about austin the way he 's hurt me . ' lucas : will you stop , please ? come on , you 're better than that . you need to move on with your life . ' carrie : you 're right . i do . it 's easier said than done .

' belle : [ giggles ] ' shawn d. : [ normal voice ] you and philip are now the perfect family . you 've got this beautiful baby girl . ' belle : yeah . i 'd say we 're pretty lucky . and to have each other , you know ? ever since claire came into our lives , i think i love him even more . ' shawn d. : yeah . well , i think a child does that . whether they 're adopted or blood , they bring two people together more than anything . ' belle : i think so , too . [ scene_break ] ' bonnie : miriam lockhart , what the hell are you talking about ? you ca n't marry shawn ? are you nuts ? ' mimi : no . if claire is really shawn 's , i ca n't lie and pretend i do n't know . i ca n't marry him under false pretenses . ' bonnie : sure , you can . think about it . what harm could it do ? belle and philip are happy . that baby 's happy . you and shawn will be happy . everybody 's happy . i do n't see the problem . ' mimi : well , i do . i -- i could never give shawn what he really wants , and that 's his own flesh - and - blood child , but belle already has . ' bonnie : that would n't make any difference , sweetheart . ' mimi : yes , it would , and you know it . and so does kate , and that 's why you 're so desperate to keep this a secret . the only reason shawn bowed out and gave up fighting for belle is because she had a baby with philip . he would never break up a family . same goes for belle staying with philip . yeah , she loves philip , but , of course , she still loves shawn , too . the baby is what tipped the scales for both of them . and if claire really is shawn 's then -- i know him -- he 's gon na want to be a hands - on dad 24/7 . and he 's gon na want belle back . he 's gon na want to marry her so they can be a real family . and me ? i 'd be demoted to loyal friend , right back where i started . ' bonnie : you 're wrong . shawn loves you , and you 're the one he 's gon na marry . ' mimi : how do you know that ?

' max : chelsea , that is not true , and you know it . but i kept telling you that this lie was bound to come out . there 's no way you could have gotten away with this , and it 's better that it 's happening now before you end up in more trouble than you were already in .

ben : that indignant `` i do n't want to talk about chad `` gave you away . you do n't want to talk about him because you already know what i 'm going to say . jordan : you got that right . ben : and deep down you know it 's true . jordan : i know what chad did is wrong . i also know that he 's trying to fix it . ben , what chad saw was me kissing rafe . okay , that is why he went ballistic . ben : whoa . you were kissing rafe ? okay , finally some good news . jordan : no , no , all right . rafe was kissing me and i did n't want him to . ben : oh , yeah , of course not . because you 're not interested in good guys when there 's creeps like chad out there . and my god , chad is a creep . the guy 's trying to send me to jail because he 's mad at you . jordan : well , you sure took the bait , right ? even thought you promised you were n't going to get violent . you promised you were going to get a handle on that . ben : wow . you really are going to get back with that bastard . jordan : look , i said what i had to say . i am glad you 're not going to jail . jordan : sorry , dimera . no dice . chad : what ? john : the d.a . wants to move forward on the case . chad : yeah , that does n't make any sense . john : well , not on the face of it , no , with overcrowding in the courts and so many backlogs in the cases , no . chad : okay , so lose this one . john : you see , the d.a . is a little suspicious because it 's a dimera that 's asking to have this case dropped here . she thinks it might be a part of a bigger agenda . it 's almost like they do n't trust you over there . chad : you know what ? to hell with the damn case . i wo n't testify . he 'll get off . john : no , see , you do n't understand . abe and i saw everything . so if push comes to shove , trask is going to put you on the stand as a hostile witness . she 's taking this to trial . chad : yeah , i said i do n't want that to happen . john : well , sadly for you , we do n't take orders from you . and personally , i would n't mind pinning a badge on rogers ' chest for winding your clock . now obviously you 've got a motive for wanting to drop this case , but it 's going forward . will : i am a writer . i am supposed to be insecure . sonny : you should be the exception because you 're great at it . all right , i should get going . will : i do n't know why you do n't put those files online and save yourself a trip . sonny : and miss seeing you ? i also have to grab a couple of other things , too . paul : that ball was the one and only ball that i ever hit out of the park from my one and only major league home run . sonny : any word from mom ?

eve : i do n't care who it was . what i care about is the fact that this boy has hurt my daughter badly . theresa : well , she was gon na end up hurt sooner or later . i mean , at least this way she found out what he was like relatively early in the game . eve : [ scoffs ] theresa : he 's a dog . he always has been , he always will be . eve : okay , you know what ? finally one thing we agree on . theresa : and i do n't see him changing any time soon . i mean , he 's got ta have ladies just lined up throwing themselves at him . eve : what ? theresa : oh , come on . you ca n't deny that he 's hot . i mean , every woman with a pulse would want to tap that . eve : well , would you stop ?

well , you just wait till i get my hands on you , you underhanded bastard ! sami : do n't look at me like that . brandon : there 's no way nicky killed colin . why would you accuse her ? do you really hate her that much ? sami : yes ! but that is n't why i did it . i did it because of you , brandon , because i love you and i would do anything for you . brandon : what does it have to i do n't need protection . sami : the hell you do n't ! i know that you did it ! i know you killed colin ! brandon : what are you talking about ? sami : do n't lie to me , okay ? abe practically hauls you down to the station for questioning , my uncle bo comes here to ask you more questions . i mean , he looked at you like he could n't wait to have your mug shot plastered in every post office in the country ! they 're not even looking at other suspects because the police know you did it ! brandon : so that 's why you tried to frame my sister ? sami : well , what was i supposed to do , let you go to jail ? brandon : what were you supposed to d -- how about asking me ? you could have asked me if it was true , damn it ! sami : you mean you did n't do it ?

tony : oh , much better , now that i know you 're here . lexie : i brought you a couple books to help pass the time . tony : ah , thank you , but i wo n't be here long enough to read them . lexie : tony , you just had major surgery . the doctors ca n't evaluate your condition until the swelling around your spinal cord goes down , and even then -- tony : listen to me , alexandra -- i refuse to spend or waste another minute in this bloody little room , and those doctors who tell me how i 'm supposed to feel . i 've got a future to think about . lexie : well , your future will have to wait . tony : not mine , the twins ! they need a family , a sense of security . and i 'm going to give them that , and more . i will not give up on those children until they have the life they were meant to live . john : it does n't make any sense . marlena : it does to me . john : doc , how can you say you wo n't leave the twins with tony ? they 're already with him . they live with him . he 's their guardian . marlena : and i 'm their therapist . it 's my job to protect their interests . john : now , do n't you think it 's in their best interests if they knew the truth -- if you are their mother ... or not ? marlena : i 'm not sure they can handle the truth right now . john : can you ? i mean , is n't that why you ... do n't want to go -- you 're afraid that you might find out that it 's not true ? you do want them to be yours , do n't you ? like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . brandon : why did you think i was guilty , samantha ? sami : why ? brandon : answer me . sami : brandon , you said you were going after colin that night . you found the dead body , did n't tell the cops , and then left the scene before they got there . brandon : so ? you added up 2 and 2 and got what , 12 ? sami : well , there 's more . i overheard you talking to your mother . brandon : what ? sami : you were discussing colin 's death , and you told her that you could n't deny to your own mother that you had killed him , so i thought that -- brandon : the worst . sami : well , yeah ! brandon : you 've been with me all this time , thinking i was a murderer ! sam brandon , i was n't thinking about it like that . look , i believe that fate caught up with colin , that he got what he deserved . brandon , we 're alike , you and i . okay ? that 's why we were drawn to each other in the first place . look , neither of us just sits around waiting for things to happen . actually , you are the only good thing to come into my life really ever without me having to plot and plan for it . what i 'm trying to s is that neither of us always follows the rules , okay ? and -- and sometimes we go further than we had planned , but we understand each other . i love you for who you are , and i thought you felt the same way about me . you always said that you understood me better than austin ever would . is that true ? am i wrong to believe that ? jack : uh , uh , alice , if abigail wakes up again , just , uh ... just let me know . jack : well , you 're still up . i 'm surprised . i thought you would have passed out by now . nicole : you want to see a murder , jack ? just keep trying to pin colin 's death on me . jack : i 'm just looking for the truth . nicole : you would n't know the truth if it bit you in -- jack : what are you so worried about ? no one 's trying to frame you . the evidence against you is out there already . nicole : first of all , that is bull , and second of all , the salem p.d . has so many suspects , they 're running out of handcuffs , starting with you . jack : mm . bo and abe know i did n't kill colin . nicole : oh , because you and goody - goody jennifer say so ? tell it to a jury ! jack : you ought to start reading the newspaper again , nicole . i 've already been cleared . nicole : oh , and i have n't ? is that whatouou 're saying , jerko , huh ? well , neither has tony and a bunch of other salem suspects . jack : including your husband . nicole : ah ! see what i 'm saying , jack ? widen the ne jack : well , it 's a good thing for victor that a wife ca n't testify against her husband on the stand . nicole : well , if victor 's guilty , i 'd never get in the way of justice . jack : hmm . what do you know ? nicole : now what ? jack : i think i 've got it . i think i just figured out who done it . bo : that 's enough . you may not know who you a , but i do , and you 're not a murderer . hope : bo -- bo : just because you have images in your head does n't mean you killed somebody . hope : i know that , but -- bo : listen to me ! you know how many people had a motive to ki m murphy ? and i just talked to davis . he said you had no evidence of blood on you , you did n't have a gun , you did not ask him to stop on your way home so you could get out . hope : then maybe i hid the gun before i got in the car . bo : where ? we searched every inch of victor 's place . we did n't find a gun . hope : okay , then maybe i brought it home . oh , my god , if i did -- what if it 's here ? what if zack were to find it ? bo : hope , that 's not gon na happen . as soon as you told me you thought you might have killed him , i tore this place apart . i did n't find a gun . hope : look , i know what i did . bo : you think you know what you did . jennifer : uh , excuse me . i 'm going to , uh , i 'm going to make some tea . would you guys like some tea ? hope : sweetie , i 'm sorry . you 're the one who 's not feeling so well . please let me take care of you . bo : why are n't you feeling well ? what 's wrong ? jennifer : i just , um , i - i just have indigestion . i - i do n't know . i 'm going to make some herbal tea . that sounds good right now . bo : you stay right here . i 'll get it for you . hope : actually , i need to talk to you for a second . jennifer : listen , you guys talk , all right ? i wo n't be long . bo : uh ... can this wait a second ? i mean , i just want to make sure she can find what she needs . hope : just a second . bo : all right , okay . i 'll be right back . marlena : do i want to believe that i gave birth to rex and cassie in -- in whatever means , and then abandoned them to live a life of misery and loneliness ? no , i do n't want to believe that . that 's why , when i first saw them and felt that incredible connection to them , and then the evidence began to accumulate ... i did n't want to think it , much less say it out loud . john : i felt the exact same way . marlena : so -- so say we go back to the island . what then ? what if it turns out that i gave birth to tony 's twins , or stef -- or stefano 's children in some horrible experiment ? will you be able to accept that -- that i am rex and cassie 's mother ? will you be able to accept them ? lexie : it just does n't make any sense , tony . family was everything to father . we both know that . tony : so why would he have kept the children away from me ? i keep asking myself that question over and over . lexie : all the suffering ... oh , my god . was he so heartless that he would intentionally let us both go through such hell ? you , with your children -- all that time -- lost ? and me with isaac . lexie : it 's just the two of us now , isaac . you 're my whole life . we wo n't cry , okay ? we wo n't cry for daddy ... and we wo n't cry for our friends in salem . i 'm so sorry , sweetheart . i 'm so sorry . but i 'm doing this for you , okay ? it 's all for you ... because i love you so much . did my father use chemicals on the baby bracelets ? bart : baby bracelets ? lexie : do n't pretend you do n't know what i 'm talking about ! tony : i 'm sorry . i confess , i have no clue . lexie : no , you were n't here , but you were , were n't you , bart ? you were working for my father when the babies were switched . you took part in the deception . admit it ! bart : listen , i do n't -- lexie : the bracelets on isaac and j.t . magically changed names . but it was n't magic , was it ? somebody made it happen . was it my father ? bart : i 'm not at liberty to talk about this right now . lexie : you will talk , and you 'll do it now ! bart : but i ca n't ! rolf made me swear never to breathe a word of this , not even to you ! [ sighs ] oh , jeez ... tony : leave us . bart : no problem . lexie : oh , god ... lexie : father lied to me . his lies ... destroyed my life . tony : there 's nothing you could have done , lexie . lexie : tony ... i asked him . we were in his room , and i begged father to please just tell me the truth -- did he switch the babies ? and he said no . he swore that he had nothing to do with it . tony : yes , but father had his own code of honor , you know . lexie : honor ? ! wellwhwhat about my honor ? i defended him to my husband , tony , to everyone -- bo , hope , john black . they all kept after me , insisting that father engineered the baby switch , but i fought them off . now i 've lost my husband ... i 've lost my baby ... and all because of his lies ! damn you , father ! damn you ! i trusted father completely , and how did he repay that trust ? by lying to me over and over again . tony : i 'm so sorry you went through that , darling . lexie : i hate myself for thinking this , but sometimes i am relieved he 's gone . i do n't mean that . i loved him , and i know that he loved me , but i ca n't help thinking he put me on the path that led to -- i just do n't want to go back . tony : well , of course you don't . it was such an ordeal . lexie : tony , you would n't lie to me , would you ? i mean , father really is gone forever this time , is n't he ? bo : jen ... jennifer : i could n't find the tea , uh , so i - i opened the drawer , and this was there . bo : i found it in a trash can outside , brought it in to bag it when i heard hope confessing to you . she did not kill colin . jennifer : no , of course not . i mean , really , how many times has the trasbebeen emptied since new year 's day ? anybody could have put this in there . bo : yeah . the problem is , hope does n't remember everything that happened that night ... so i 'm going to make absolutely sure i know exactly what we 're dealing with here . jennifer : are you going to tell her that you found this ? bo : no . no . do i have to ask you to keep it quiet ? jennifer : no , i 'm not going to say anything . but you 're going to call roman and abe , right ? bo : no . i 'm going to deal with this thing my way . jennifer : bo , you ca n't do that . bo : hope is not going to be considered a suspect , not by anybody . hope : maybe it 's true . maybe i did n't kill colin . larry : let 's see now ... what am i looking for ? okay . `` symptoms of post- traumatic stress syndrome . `` yeah , that 's what i want . `` often involve ... hallucinations . `` ha ha ! far out . `` panic attacks . `` cool . wait . `` sleeplessness and jumpiness . `` cooler still . `` victims should seek psychiatric help as soon as possible -- `` yeah , yeah , yeah . yada , yada , yada . what is this ? oh ! well ... thank you for the free advice , dr . evans . thank you . i hope you wo n't be needing this book back real soon . nicole : spill , jacko . who killed colin and you better not say it was me , or i will slap a lawsuit on you so fast ! jack : okay . look , it 's a given that sami hates you , right ? nicole : the feeling 's mutual . jack : but it 's not going to earn sami any points with brandon by accusing you of colin 's murder , is it ? nicole : but she is accusing me of colin 's murder . jack : exactly ! exactly . so why is she doing that ? to protect someone else . nicole : you mean herself . jack : no . nicole : then who else would sami ever protect ? jack : who , indeed ? brandon . brandon : are we really that much alike , samantha ? you do what you want because you think it 's right . you never stop to consider what anyone else wants , inuding me . sami : that is not true ! brandon : i did n't ask you to fight my battles for me . and how did you think i would feel if nicole was arrested for murder ? sami : well , i did n't think you 'd like it , but it 's not like i was making up evidence against nicole . braon : no , you were just nudging the cops in her direction . sami : well , i 'm sorry if you think that that 's a bad thing , but you know , nicole had motive , means , and opportunity . maybe she really did kill colin . brandon : excuse me ? did n't you just think that i was guilty ? or maybe my sister and i were in it together . sami : oh , brandon , i am being serious . brandon : so am i , samantha . do n't you understand me well enough to know that i would never let nicky take the blame for something i did ? sami : and what if she is guilty ? brandon : you remember what jack did when he thought jennifer had killed colin ? sami : he took the blame . brandon : exactly . sami : so you 're saying that 's what you would do for nicole ? well , what about me , brandon ? you 're just going to walk out on what we have together ? brandon : does everything always have to be about you ? sami : brandon , it would kill me to see you go to prison for something that you did n't do ! i - i love you , okay ? and you 're going to throw away your whole life for someone who really wo n't appreciate it ? brandon , just this once , ca n't you save our future instead of your sister 's ? marlena : i do n't want to speculate further , okay ? john : even if the truth can hurt us ? hey , what if we go looking for answers and we prove that the twins were created to be stefano 's pawns ? are you willing to accept that possibility ? marlena : whatever our problem with the dimeras , we ca n't blame the children for it . it 's not their fault , nor is their training their fault . john : no , you 're right . it 's not their fault , but that does n't mean that they 're not dangerous . marlena : i 'm not going to do this . john : baby , come on ! we do n't who they are . we do n't know what they 're capable of . listen , sweetheart , i have spent my entire life trying to find my family , and you know what i found ? just because someone is your blood -- marlena : does n't make you love them , does n't make you care for them ? do you want me to turn my back on the cldldren ? jennifer : i ca n't believe that hope would kill a man , either , unless it was in self - defense , unless he was physically threatening her , bo . hope : what 's taking you guys so long ? hey . jennifer : hey . hope : is everything okay ? jennifer : yeah , we -- we could n't find the tea . hope : oh . well , just ask me . anything else i can help you with ? bo : nope , fine . hope : okay . are you feeling okay ? jennifer : you know , actually , i 'm -- i 'm not feeling too good . i 'm going to head on home . hope : i 'll be right back . have you seen a doctor yet ? jennifer : no , i have n't even taken a pregnancy test yet . hope : well , then maybe it 's nothing . jennifer : maybe , but , you know , this is the exact same symptoms i had when i was carrying abby . hope : jen , you have to make sure . jennifer : i will , i will , and if i am , i 'm going to have to tell jack . hope : he loves you . just let him be there for you . that 's all he wants . nicole : eat those words , deveraux . my brother did not kill colin . hehe could n't kill anyone . jack : you better tell that to austin . your sweet and loving brother nearly hammered him to death in that boxing ring , and that was before he hated him . nicole : he was defending himself . jack : is that what you 're going to say on the witness stand ? nicole : my brother is innocent . jack : i 'm sure he 'd appreciate the sisterly support , but the fact is , pushed hard enough , nearly anyone -- nicole : is capable of murder . yeah , yeah , i know . i 've heard that before , but i think it 's a load of crap . jack : is it ? the fact is , colin murphy blackmailed you , slept with you , put you in a very sticky situation with your new husband victor kiriakis , all the while , lusting after another woman . so you see , you really have n't convinced me of anything , have you , nicole ? nicole : do n't you watch `` law & order , `` jack ? whodunit is never who you think . lexie : i 'll tell you what -- let me see if tuscany will let me order takeout . how does veal scallopini sound ? tony : very wonderful . lexie : okay , i 'll go work my wiles on maggie horton . tony : ha ha . tony : close the damn door . rolf : ah . you are looking we , , count dimera . tony : am i ? i feel like pulling your bloody head off . so when did you intend to tell me that i sired cassie and rex ? but let me take a guess -- never . rolf : ha ha . count , i assure you , your father swore to me that the gemini twins were not dimera offspring . tony : liar . you knew my red blood type . you also must have known about cassie 's . rolf : well , yes , but statistically , it 's far from certain that you and she are related . tony : dyoyou remember father 's words , rolf ? the key to the past and the future . you knew about that . you said nothing . rolf : because there was nothing to tell . tony : i may be paralyzed , but i 'm as formidable as ever , probably because i am so angry , but supremely motivated . rolf : count , i would never make the mistake of assuming that your physical infirmity has in any way diminished your power . why , your condition here -- tony : just cut the crap . what else have you lied to me about ? and what did my father plan r r cassie and rex to do ? and who is their mother ? john : doc ... i would never , ever ask you to abandon your children . marlena : that 's what you are asking me to do . john : no , it 's not . i 'm just -- i 'm asking you to be careful . marlena : careful ? of what ? john : i ca n't deny you your flesh and blood , but you can not deny me you . now , i want you to be happy , but , damn it , i want you to be alive . jennifer : i cano o this . i know i can . i can -- i can do this . jennifer : hi . jack : oh , jennifer , you 're here . uh , look , we have a visitor . it 's , uh ... nicole : well , well , well , if it is n't the prodigal reporter . jack : never mind her . she 's more than a little drunk . nicole : if i find out that you and your ex have been working together , i will put your beloved `` spectator `` out of business , so mind your own business and stay out of mine . excuse me . jack : goodbye , nicole . jennifer : what was that all about ? jack : nothing . she 's just blowing off a little steam . you can forget it . jennifer : gram ... jack : uh , alice -- jennifer : i 'm sorry that youawaw all that . alice : oh , darling , i was upstairs with abby . jennifer : oh , good . is she okay ? alice : she 's fine , but ... how are you ? jennifer : oh , gram . alice : oh , darling . hope : how 's zack ? bo : julie says he 's still asleep . did n't have the heart to wake him . hope : oh , gosh . you know he 's going to be up all night . bo : you know what ? i 'll take the 2 : 00 a.m . shift . you need your sleep more than i do . hope : i do n't think that 's going to be a problem anymore . bo : why is that ? hope : well , the prescription that marlena gave me for my anxiety , which i 'm assuming is to help me sleep . i have n't even filled it yet , i 'm happy to say . bo : you 're feeling that much better . hope : yeah , actually , i am . i do n't know , maybe it 's the thepypy , maybe it 's finally knowing what 's wrong with me , but life is feeling pretty darn good to me right now . you know that `` victim `` sign around my neck ? i ripped it off and threw it away . bo : i 'll drink to that . hope : so will i . larry : dr. marlena evans ... hmm . dr. m. evans . yeah . [ taps pen ] larry : what were you thinking , dr . e .... when you prescribed this very bitter pill for poor hope to swallow ? sami : okay , listen , if the situation was reversed , and i was the one who was in trouble , you would do everything you could to protect me , right ? brandon : i would n't go behind your back . sami : even if you were desperate ? brandon : why , samantha ? why do you always make the choice that makes things worse ? not only for you , but for everyone else around you . sami : you 're saying i make everything worse for you ? brandon : i just think that if you would make smarter decisions -- sami : oh , and now you 're ayaying i 'm stupid ? brandon : i 'm saying that you are impulsive . and you know what ? just because you hate your sister carrie does n't mean that i hate mine . sami : do n't talk to me about love in my family , okay ? eric and i are as close as two people can be , and it is thanks to your adorable sister that he 's thousands of miles away , where i never get to see him . brandon : oh , yes , she drove him out of salem . she has that kind of power over him . sami : yeah , actually , she did . and she was trying to ruin us , in case you 've forgotten . but then , even though she 's done all these terrible things , you still love her more than me . brandon : are you saying that i have to choose between you and my sister ? sami : yes , you do . marlena : honey , you -- you said tony told you the twins do n't need me after all . was that what he said ? john : not quite like that , no , but what are you getting at ? marlena : he 's their guardian . he could keep me from seeing them . john : oh , sweetheart , that 's not going to happen in a million years . come on . reverse psychology . and you want to know something ? you are responding exactly the way he wants you to . marlena : i do understand reverse psychology , john , and i will not let him make one single decision for me . john : can you be sure of that ? marlena : are you shortchanging me just a bit here ? john : no , doc , i 'm saying that tony has had a plan since he came to salem . he wants to get a hook into you . marlena : i do n't care what tony wants . i really don't . i do n't care what he wants or thinks or needs , even if we share children . you are my husband . you 're the one i want to share the journey with . are you with me ? john : all the way . rolf : look , count dimera , i swear to you , i know nothing of the twins ' maternity . tony : well , here 's something you must know . you said to me that the twins are trained to almost do anything . what did that encompass -- psychic healing , murder , what ? rolf : whatever you wish . tony : what i wish ? what i wish -- and please take a mental note of this -- isis that the twins lead normal lives , as normal as they possibly can after what 's been done to them . but i swear to you , if my children are ever used for nefarious purposes , a tragic fate will visit those involved . understood ? rolf : certainly , count dimera . you 're a cavity fighter , huh ? brandon : damn it , samantha -- sami : brandon , please , i have had -- look , i 'm -- i 'm just in -- aah ! brandon : [ grunts ] get out . get out ! sami : look , brandon , i did n't mean for you to -- jennifer : bye , gram . be careful . jack : really , drive -- yeah . you know , she would have stayed . if you 're still not feeling well , she would have stayed right here with us . jennifer : no , it 's okay . i , uh ... whatasas nicole doing here , anyway ? i can still smell the alcohol fumes . jack : well , she 's extremely nervous about colin 's murder . it 's made me want to just dig deeper and harder and look past the obvious suspects in the case . jennifer : you know what ? i think that we should just leave it alone . i think we should just let the whole thing go . jack : no . you never do that with a story . you never let it go , especially when it means something to you . jennifer : it does n't , though . it does n't mean anything to me anymore , all right ? let 's leave it up to the police . it 's their job . jack : jennifer , i - i -- jennifer : no , listen to me . we'rgoing to get in way over our heads , and it is no good . do you understand me i ca n't face it , all right ? can you understand that ? jack : no . what 's going on here , jennifer ? what are n't you telling me ? hope : mm . i could just fall asleep here , brady . bo : no anxiety ? hope : mnh - mnh , none . bo : good . i 'm going to make sure it stays that way . i 'm going to go have that prescription filled . hope : no , brady , really , honestly , i do n't think i need it . bo : well , just in case . you do n't have to take it . i wo n't be gone long . i 'll clean this up . hope : mr . perfect , huh ?

john : no . no , not at all . what 's up ? bo : well , i need a 24-hour lab that can do a dna test on the q.t . john : yeah ? why ? bo : well , nothing i can talk about right now . john : all right . your man is dr . christopher dunn , the wetzel labs , jefferson street . just tell chris i sent you . bo : thanks , man . i owe you . i got to do it , fancy face , to prove you 're innocent . larry : a prescription for death ... for bo and hope brady . marlena : what did bo want ? john : not exactly sure . a favor . marlena : did he mention hope ? john : no . we got to get going . marlena : no , john -- john : we said we were going to find some answers today . marlena : we said we 'd do it together . right now , hope needs me , and belle 's having a mighty hard time with shawn . john : listen , i 'm not convinced we 're going to find the answers about cassie and rex here in salem . the books on genetic engineering , the medical equipment , your memories are all -- marlena : i know , i know . they 're all on the island . what if that 's not the only place they are ? what if we never do find them ? john : never say never . i suppose we do n't have to leave today . you take care of belle and hope . and tony -- he 's not going anywhere anytime soon . lexie : ta - da ! tony : mmm , smells wonderful . i just wish i had more of an appetite . lexie : when 's the last time a doctor was in here ? tony : just a few moments ago , actually . lexie : what 'd he say ? tony : oh , the usual -- wait and see . no one 's even bothered doing neurological tests on me . lexie : well , they do n't want to push you , and they do n't want you disappointed if the results are poor because it 's too soon . tony : alexandra , the only way i 'm going to improve is if i leave this hospital . i need to be with the twins . the only thing i feel in this god - awful place is anger and resentment , and that 's certainly not going to be helping the healing process , is it ? lexie : well , what do you want me to do , tony ? tony : well , you -- you 're a doctor . why do n't you give a test ? check my response to pain stimuli . lexie : no , i - i do n't know . tony : please , just -- just one test . i mean , if i could feel this pin against my -- my foot , that could be so encouraging . please . alexandra . lexie : okay . but if you do n't feel anything , that does n't mean that things are hopeless , okay ? it just means that you need more time to heal , right ? tony : i understand . lexie : okay . lexie : okay . [ gasps ] oh , my god ! you felt it . tony : ha ha ha ha . oh , my god . lexie : ha ha ha ha . tony : that hurt like hell . both : [ laughing ] shawn - d : so you 're really , uh , you 're really going to go , then . belle : is there any reason i should n't ? cassie : i hate marlena for lying to me , and i will always hate h .. i will never forgive her . rex : do you know what you 've done ? do you have any idea of the hell you 're putting her through ? | hope confesses to jennifer about killing colin as bo walks in and they argue . jennifer leaves the room and finds the bloody rag bo had hidden , and bo tells her to keep it a secret and she leaves . bo makes a call to have something tested as hope thinks about enrolling in a self defense class . meanwhile , larry plans on faking marlena 's signature so he can toy with hope 's prescription . jack and alice chat as a drunken nicole comes in and fights with jack about trying to nail her for the murder . they pass remarks , and then he realizes that maybe sami is protecting brandon , the real killer ! nicole denies this , saying that the killer is never who you think ! marlena and john talk in her office about the twins . they think she might be their mother , and wonder if they could both handle it if it 's true . marlena says if she is , she would n't want to abandon them . they make plans to go to the dimera island for the answers when they are ready . jennifer comes home telling jack to drop the story . sami tells brandon that she was framing nicole because she was protecting him , since he killed colin . brandon denies this , and at the end of their argument throws her out , nicole looking on . lexie checks up on tony and later rolf comes . tony wants the truth about the twin 's paternity ; rolf really does n't know but doubts they are dimera offspring . |

[ laughs ] you 're not actually buying any of this , are you ? abigail : just -- can you -- can you just let him finish , ben ? ben : what else can he say ? i mean , you heard everything you need to know the second you walked in the door . abigail : i know . ben . can you please just give me a minute alone with chad ? ben : what ? why ? abigail : please ? ben : i 'm not going far . chad : abigail , i know you probably hate me . and i deserve that , even though i never meant what i -- abigail : [ sighs ] chad : but will you think what this would do to jordan if she heard what i said . abigail : yeah . jordan would hate you too . chad : and so you probably think i 'm being self - serving and thinking about myself and not about jordan . abigail : well , i would , except for one thing , chad . chad : what ? abigail : you never said what happened between you and jordan that made you so upset . chad : it does n't matter . there 's no excuse for what i did . abigail : i know what happened . i know that you saw jordan kissing rafe . you did n't want to say that in front of ben , did you ? you left that part out . it was to protect her ... was n't it ? paul : mom , could you call me when you get home ? i really need to talk to you .

[ door opens ] hope : chase ! oh , thank god . rafe : chase ! hope : we have been worried sick about you . chase : sorry . hope : oh , my god . are you all right ? honey , you can not go running off like that without telling anyone . chase : i 'm sorry , i just -- hope : what if something happened to you ? chase : i just wanted to be alone . hope : chase . rafe : okay , but we told you before hope left the department she was working on a very dangerous case , and until that case is resolved , you and ciara need to be very , very carful . chase : i do n't have anything to do with that case . ciara : i did n't have anything to do with a case when i got kidnapped . hope : ciara . ciara : hey , if you want to be part of this family , you need to listen to what they have to say . rafe : she 's right . there are people out there who may want to hurt hope or anyone who is close to her . andré : so you took your husband 's gun and you used it to kill my father . oh ... you will pay , hope . oh , you will pay dearly . harold : sir , i 'm sorry to tell you that two treasury agents have just served an eviction notice . andré : [ laughs ] an eviction notice ? oh , i feel like little nell . harold : they said , sir , that if the back taxes were n't paid before friday , that they would escort any occupants off the property and seize the contents of the house . i am sorry , sir . andré : how could you allow this to happen , father ? ah , it does n't matter ! i ca n't be thinking about this now ! oh ... oh , all i can think about ... is how to avenge your murder . rafe : everything is okay in the back . hope : great . rafe : guards in place . chase : what ? hope : uh , we have guards for the house , and you 're both going to have someone following you wherever you go . so you ca n't leave the house without telling anyone , and no sneaking out , either one of you . we need to know where you are at all times , okay ? rafe : which is why we were so upset when you snuck out of the cabin . chase : yeah , i get it . i ruined it . i ruin everything . i guess she told you what i did . hope : i have to say , i do n't understand why . chase : you might not believe me , but neither do i . hope : those texts , they were cruel . chase , i never expected that from you . chase : i know . rafe : where you going ? chase : upstairs . pack my stuff . after everything i did , i know you guys do n't want me staying here . hope : no , wait . lucas : uh , before we get started today , i 'd like to introduce someone . um , that 's eric in the back over there . it 's his first meeting . eric , do you want to say something ? eric : uh ... i can -- i ca n't do this . i 'm sorry . jennifer : eric . abigail : theo , thank you so much for coming by . it was really nice to see you , and i want you to remember that chad and i want you to come by your nonno 's house any time you want to visit us once we move in , okay ? theo : thank you . see you , jj . jj : later . nonno 's house ? nonno 's house of horrors , you mean . abigail : i do n't seem to remember asking for your opinion , jj . jj : no , it 's great because when thomas gets a little bigger , he can play dungeons and dragons , but in a real dungeon . huh , buddy ? abigail : really gon na miss your sense of humor . jj : come on , abs . i thought chad told you he wanted to cut any and all ties to his family . abigail : stefano is n't gon na be there . he 's on a trip . he 's in italy probably , and chad is looking forward to throwing andré out personally . so there wo n't be any dimeras in the house . jj : that 's what he says . abigail : what 's that supposed to mean , jj ? jj : maybe he 's kicking his brother out so he 's the only dimera left in the house his father built . can you spell michael corleone ? abigail : okay , that 's not fair . jj : i do n't care if it 's fair or not fair . he is marrying my sister and i am worried for her . do you really know what you are getting yourself into by marrying him ? abigail : i 'm gon na move into that house with my fiancé and with my son , and if you do n't change your attitude fast then you 're not gon na be welcome there . justin : hey , adrienne , tell us what you really think . adrienne : [ scoffs ] okay . i think that house is gon na give thomas nightmares , and i think abigail is probably less than thrilled knowing she 'll be facing stefano dimera over the breakfast table every morning for the rest of her life . chad : he wo n't be there . he 's left salem . justin : really ? chad : and andré will move out . it 's just gon na be the three of us in that house . adrienne : and abigail 's on board with this ? chad : if she 's not 100 % , then we just wo n't do it . adrienne : all right . listen , sonny gave me control of his share of the club before he left , so i will double - check with him , but i do n't think he 'll mind if i agree to buy you out . chad : that 's great . thank you . [ cell phone ringing ] chad : speak of the devil . andré . that 's why they invented the ignore key . [ cell phone beeps off ] [ on voice mail ] this is chad . leave a message . i 'll get back to you . [ voice mail beeps ] andré : uh , chad , you have to stop evading me . it 's not nice . it 's rude . it 's foolish . i need you to come to the mansion now . it 's imperative that we talk . [ cell phone beeps ] andré : do n't disappoint me again , chad . do n't . hope : no . you 're wrong . i do n't want you to leave . not now , not ever . chase , you 're part of this family . chase : how can i be a part of this family after what my dad did ? hope : that has nothing to do with the way i feel about you . look , we have all been through a very difficult time , and i was n't there for you the way i should have been , and i am sorry . but you 're family , and in this family when we do something wrong , and trust me , we 've all done something wrong , we make it right . so you need to go to theo and you need to apologize to him . chase : and that 's it ? hope : no . that 's just first . would you help me unload the car ? chase : i 'll do it . hope : no . you and ciara need to talk . now . chase : everything you said about forgiving me , was that a lie ? ciara : my mom told me to say whatever it took to make sure you did n't take off again . chase : so you do n't forgive me . ciara : maybe someday i will , but before i can , you got to tell me why . why you would be so cruel to someone as sweet and kind as theo ? jennifer : eric , wait . are you okay ? eric : sorry . i know aa 's done a lot for lucas , but i do n't understand sharing what i did with a bunch of strangers . jennifer : but you need help . you ca n't fight this addiction on your own . you ca n't , eric . lucas : she 's right , okay ? eric : would you stop double - teaming me ? jennifer : we 're not doing that . we 're your friends . we want to help you . lucas : the first meeting can be awkward . we all know that , but you know what , you just stick with it . you ca n't handle this on your own . eric : you do n't know what i can and can not handle ! lucas : listen , eric , i do n't boast a lot . there 's really not that much to boast about , but the fact is , i know a hell of a lot more about being a drunk than you do , and i think you owe it to yourself , man . you owe it to yourself and your family to listen to the people who can help you . and if you think you can get through this on your own ... that 's just being arrogant , and i never thought you were an arrogant man . eric : yeah , well , what if i 'm not ready ? jennifer : eric , please , just listen to lucas , please . lucas : jenn . you can call me anytime , in any condition , all right ? i 've been there . and if it 's too personal , there are meetings all over town you can go to . no one 's gon na know who you are . just try to stick with it , okay ? it does work . jennifer : he 's right . eric , you need help . you just ca n't keep ignoring this . you ca n't . eric : when did you become such a hypocrite ? jj : abigail , you were locked in a cabin with your baby and a psycho who was ready to kill you . abigail : chad saved us . jj : yes , and thank god he did , but , abs , think about it . is this a time to make a big decision ? abigail : why do you care where chad and i live ? jj : i 'm not even talking about that . i 'm talking about getting married in the first place . look at what you 've been through this last year . are you sure you 're thinking clearly ? abigail : i am sure that you are acting like an ass , jj . jj : an ass who loves you , and who is on your side . look at the things chad and his family have done to you . abigail : that 's not fair . chad is cutting ties with his family . jj : by moving into the family mansion ? and look at that family . look at the things that stefano and his kids have done . including chad . abigail : stop . that 's in the past . jj : and you 're sure that he 's changed ? every single dimera at one time or another has proclaimed that they 've turned over a new leaf , and every single time , it has been a lie . abigail : jj , you 're my brother , and i love you , and i know that you 're still dealing with daniel 's death , so i 'm gon na just forget that we had this conversation . jj : i 'm not . he 's a dimera , abs , and that is pretty much the same thing as being cursed . andré : [ on voice mail ] i need you to come to the mansion now . it 's imperative that we talk . chad : well , andré , for once , we agree on something . chase : i was n't lying to your mom . i really do n't know . ciara : well , let me know when you do because telling me why is your only chance of getting me to forgive you . chase : ciara , it just -- it does n't make any sense . it 's stupid , it just -- ciara : it 's just what ? chase : you . when my dad did what he did , and you and your mom did n't hate me , when you took me in and you took care of me , you and theo were so close . i just did n't want to lose you . ciara : [ scoffs ] let me get this straight . theo was -- no , he still is and always will be my friend . we 've been friends since we were little , and because of that you decided to make fun of him because he 's autistic ? chase : do you remember that day that we decorated the tree in the square , and we were talking and we were laughing ? and then theo showed up , and it was like i did n't even exist . i was alone and i was mad , but it was stupid , and it was wrong , but i did n't want to lose you . looking at what i did to theo , i do n't know how you can ever forgive me when i ca n't forgive myself . you know , i 'm just like my dad . i 'm no good . eric : you told lucas that you were n't taking any pain - killers . jennifer : no , i told lucas i was trying not to take them , and when i went to sit down , my back flared up , eric . eric : but you waited till we were gone before you popped a pill . 'cause you did n't want anyone to know , right ? jennifer : no , because i do n't want people worrying about me , eric . eric : or maybe you just did n't want anybody counting them , right ? because you were trying to cover up what was out of your control , right ? jennifer : no , we 're talking about a prescribed medication . eric : yeah , that you 're abusing , so do n't judge me ! jennifer : i am not abusing , and i am not judging you . i 'm trying to help you . i ca n't even believe that you are comparing your drinking to my medication . really ? i take those pills because i 'm in pain . because i am in physical pain . and the reason i am in pain , as you pointed out earlier , was because i injured my back in a car accident , which you caused when you were dead drunk behind the wheel . ciara : i 'm sorry for ignoring you when theo was around , but if you had a problem , you should have come to me , not taken it out on theo . chase : i kn -- i know i messed it up in every way possible , but i want to make it up to you . ciara : you need to make it up to theo , not me . mom 's right . we need to go apologize . chase : he 's gon na hate me when he finds out . ciara : does n't matter . you have to own up to what you did . if it makes it any easier , i 'll go with you . chase : thank you .

[ suspenseful music ] deimos : well , lookee here . you dimera brothers ca n't seem to stay away from my house . maybe i should start charging rent . gabi : we were just looking for arianna 's toys . i was sure they were in here , but i guess i was wrong . deimos : aw , poor little girl . i certainly know how she feels . gabi : i 'm sorry for interrupting . we 're just gon na -- deimos : yes . i know exactly how it feels to lose something , something special , especially something that 's been stolen out from under you . chad : put the gun down , deimos . deimos : not until she hands over that hard drive she has so cleverly hidden behind her pretty little back . chad : oh , the -- the one that belongs to me ? deimos : the orwell is mine . and if the two of you do n't want to end up in a body bag in leaving here , i suggest you hand it over ! gabi : you 're gon na -- you 're gon na kill us ? chad : not a chance . too many questions . he 'll never get away with it . deimos : all i have to do is say that i was convinced that two hooligans broke into my home intent in robbing my safe and that i shot them in self - defense ! chad : that 's cute . deimos : now , hand over the damn orwell , or that 's exactly how it 's gon na play out ! eduardo : it 's deimos . it 's deimos . the crazy bastard is targeting us . kate : well , i think , since he appears to be going after both families that we should just stick together , that we should just present a united front . eduardo : yeah , sure . we 'll pretend everything is okay between us . kate : right , right . the enemy of my enemy is my friend . we should come up with a strategy , though . do you have any thoughts about that ? eduardo : i 'm fresh out right now , sorry . kate : right . of course . you should be focusing on your son . eduardo : he 's got to pull through this . last conversation we had , i was real angry with him , you know . kate : dario 's strong . dario 's a fighter . he 's like his dad . at least he has that . i 'm gon na get you some coffee . eduardo : hey . thank you . kate : sure . deimos : believe me , sweetheart , you do n't want to test my patience . now , hand it over . you think i wo n't pull this trigger ? chad : do n't . do n't . deimos : smart girl . now ... the key . chad : what key ? what the hell are you talking about ? drew : oh , dear god , what have i gotten myself into ? jennifer : all right , well , let 's just be grateful that i found you before deimos did . drew : jennifer , i do n't know what to do . i mean , i do n't know what to do ! if i repair the orwell and give it to deimos , then i 'm handing him infinite power . and if i refuse , then lord only knows what he 's gon na do to my darling camilla . jennifer : okay , drew , i know -- i know that you 're worried sick about your wife , but we will figure out a way to handle this . we will . drew : did you say `` sick `` ? jennifer : yes . drew : [ laughs ] that 's it ! that 's it ! i 'll -- i 'll make it sick ! oh , mwah ! jennifer , you 're a genius . jennifer : i am ? what ? drew : the virus -- i 'll make a virus . why did n't i think of this before ? yeah , if i can create a hunter - seeker virus and then implant it properly into the system , well , it could -- it could cripple the orwell permanently . jennifer : yes , this -- this might actually work . drew : [ chuckles ] deimos : this is not a time for games . give me the damn key ! chad : okay , we do n't have a key . we do n't even know what you 're talking about ! gabi : wait , wait . i think i know -- i think i might know what he means . deimos : what the hell is that ? gabi : it 's the key . deimos : is that some kind of a joke ? that 's not what i 'm talking about , and you know it ! chad : then what are you talking about ? gabi : we do n't know about your stupid key . deimos : the hell you do n't ! now , you better stop lying and start talking . where the hell is it ? kate : cafeteria was closed . vending machine was not . eduardo : oh , thank you . really appreciate this . kate : i 'm sure you 'd do the same thing for me . eduardo : i would . i like you . so ... i know you came here to see andré . kate : yeah . eduardo : and it 's okay if you want to go hang with him . kate : no , i did , but i stopped by his room , and abigail 's with him now , so ... [ sighs ] looks like you 're stuck with me . eduardo : you 're a good person , kid . kate : well , if by `` good , `` you mean a deceitful opportunist who only looks out for herself , i guess -- i guess you 're right . eduardo : now , why would you say that ? kate : you tell me . are n't you the one who did n't trust me with the technology ? eduardo : well , i already told you , that was just me being stupid . kate : no , you know , it 's -- it 's really all right . i do n't -- i do n't blame you . everyone sees me that way . eduardo : no , it 's not all right . i do n't see you that way . and i feel really bad that i freaked you out by talking to you the way i did . kate : i just thought that things with us could be different , you know ? that i could be different . i made a conscious decision not to betray you , and i guess i just thought that somehow you would know that . that you would know that this thing we had was different , that it was special . eduardo : i do . you know , we 're two of a kind . and if we ever get around to trusting each other , we 'll be unstoppable . that 's the -- that 's the truth . and that 's dario 's doctor . [ soft music ] [ monitor beeping ] abigail : look , chad is not in a good place right now . you did n't see him , andré , but he was furious when he found out what deimos had done to you . so i 've got to make sure that he 's okay . i 'll make sure the nurse knows you 're awake . what are you still doing here ? jj : came to see if andré 's awake . looks like he is . mind if i ask you a few questions ? andré : i do n't think we need to involve the authorities . jj : i 'll bet you do n't . tell me what happened tonight . andré : well ... i was having dinner with my brother in the town square . i ... just must have been allergic to something that i ate . jj : the doctors say you were poisoned . andré : poisoned ? jj : you were n't the only one who was attacked tonight . someone tried to kill dario hernandez . abigail : what ? is he okay ? jj : you want to try and convince me that was a coincidence ? look , do n't let the fact that i 'm a freshman detective fool you . i 've been around you dimeras my whole life . i know there 's something going down between you and the hernandez family and the kiriakises . you almost died . i want to help , but i ca n't ... not unless you level with me . [ dramatic music ] chad : [ stammering ] i mean , you got to believe us , all right ? i do n't have a key . do you have a key ? gabi : no , i -- chad : see , we do n't have a key . deimos : oh , really ? you both break into my home and you expect me to believe anything you say ? chad : okay , look , deimos , you got a gun , right ? now you got the orwell . so -- so , you know , you 're obviously in control . and d - do you really think that i would ever put gabi 's life in danger , especially over a key ? huh ? so , you know , we apologize for breaking in . you know , we 'll call it a lapse in judgment . and -- and -- and why do n't we just agree to end this whole thing now ? gabi and i , we 'll get out of here . we 'll take the orwell , and in return , we 'll call it a truce for , uh , poisoning my brother . deimos : wow . wow ! just -- what a generous offer . chad : i thought so . deimos : yeah , i 'm sure you would . but , you see , the fact is , in order to press charges , you need proof . now , in the absence of any , perhaps i can offer up my own negotiation . i agree , it is in the best interests of all of us , all of our families , to bring this conflict to a prompt resolution . so in light of that fact , i think it 's only logical that -- if i take advantage of the situation that has all but fallen into my lap . chad : yeah , and what situation is that ? deimos : no , no , no , you have to see the bigger picture , chad . now , it 's obvious to me that either the dimeras have stolen the key , or the hernandez family has it . chad : nobody has your key ! deimos : and without said key , the orwell is rendered useless . which i 'm sure you 're also aware of . chad : so , what , the key unlocks the orwell ? deimos : now , for me to exert the pressure i need on both families to recover that key , it 's best that i take something or , in this case , someone from each of them . so i guess i should be thanking you both for breaking into my home tonight . chad : we 're your hostages ? are you serious ? deimos : well , since you do n't want to work with me , it seems blackmail is my only option . chad : okay , look -- okay , look , why -- why do n't you just take me , all right ? why do n't you let gabi go ? i 'm all you really need anyway . deimos : [ laughs ] no , no . that 's not gon na work , chad . i mean , no offense , but you alone do not provide me the leverage of having a dimera and a hernandez . chad : okay , look , well , you know what ? i 'm not gon na let you put gabi through this , so i do n't care ! she 's got a little girl at home , so why do n't you just let her go home to her sweet little girl ? deimos : oh , no , no , you 're not gon na play that card with me . chad : we 're not going anywhere with you . deimos : you 're in no position to test me right now ! so shut the hell up ! now , both of you , start moving right now ! or i 'm gon na start shooting . you think i 'm kidding ? move , both of you ! chloe : okay , you can leave now . you 're starting to creep me out . nicole : chloe ... i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry about what i said . it 's just that when i saw you nursing her ... i know you want what 's best for holly , and i ca n't tell you how much i appreciate that . chloe : of course i do . i 'm not trying to hurt you . nicole : i know . i know . you do n't have to explain , okay ? it 's me . it 's my insecurities . i 'm jealous , okay ? there . i said it . i 'm jealous that i ca n't do what you 're doing right now . and holly is a part of me . she 's ... a part of daniel . and my body could n't carry her , and i could n't deliver her , and i ... i ca n't nurse her . so i guess what i 'm saying is , thank you for caring so much . chloe : i care about holly as if she were my own . nicole : but she 's not . do n't forget that , chloe , okay ? chloe : well , if you love her as much as you say you do , you can understand why i need to keep her away from deimos . nicole : yes , yes . i ... i get that now . i really do . everything you said about deimos ... you were right . chloe : did you and deimos call off the wedding ? nicole : not exactly . i do n't want to get into it , but let 's just say i am having second thoughts . i ca n't expose holly to anything or anyone that would put her in danger . that little girl is my first priority . chloe : i do n't know if i believe you , nicole . i mean , you 're running around town stabbing people , spending nights in jail , and then letting your mobster fiancé help you get out of all that . let 's just be honest . you have issues . nicole : i know , okay ? you 're right . and i own that . so ... maybe now you 'll let me hold my little girl ? jennifer : how 's the virus coming ? drew : terrible . jennifer : what ? i thought you had a handle on it . drew : i did ... for about three minutes . and then my screen saver kept popping up . jennifer : camilla . drew : i ca n't concentrate on anything when i 'm thinking about her . jennifer : all right , but , drew , okay , you 're -- you 're doing all of this because of your wife . drew : yes , of course , that 's true . jennifer : yeah . drew : everything -- everything i do is because of that woman . but if deimos finds out that i 've betrayed him , then it -- oh , it 's hopeless , jennifer . i might never see her again . jennifer : no , you will . you will ! drew , i promise you . we are going to figure this out . drew : [ whimpers ] [ smooches ] jj : what is this , abigail , some code of silence ? abigail : look , i 'm sorry , jj , but it is really not my place to talk . jj : what 's it gon na take ? 'cause andré was almost killed tonight . and who knows if dario 's gon na make it ? what if chad 's next ? could you live with yourself if something happened to him ? abs , if you know what they 're all fighting over , you have to tell me . i can help . do you really want thomas to grow up without a father ? because that is a very real possibility . abigail : fine ! okay , stop . i 'll tell you . the three families are fighting over this technology called the orwell . jj : the orwell ? abigail : yeah . it can hack into cameras , security cameras , cameras in laptops , computers , whatever , you name it . it can pinpoint virtually anyone on the planet . it 's worth billions . jj : unbelievable . abigail : andré had it , and i 'm pretty sure that deimos stole it . and i 'm really afraid that that 's where chad 's at right now . jj : i 'll get a warrant . abigail : no , i 'm coming with you . jj : no , you are not . you are staying right here . gabi : just let us go ! deimos : get in there . get in there ! yeah , this 'll do . out of the way , soundproof . chad : it 's never gon na work . we do n't -- we do n't even have your damn key , deimos . deimos : well , you know something ? you 're starting to convince me . but i have to assume that one of your family members does have the key . so once they hand it over , your lives will be spared . but until then , i suggest you make yourselves comfortable . chad : [ laughs ] therefore you 're just digging yourself a deeper hole . deimos : well , a functioning orwell is very much worth the risk . and why do n't you look at the bright side ? at least you have each other , right ? try not to have too much fun with this one here . i mean , after all , he is a married man . gabi : oh , you 're disgusting . chad : why do n't you just let her go ? she has nothing to do with this . deimos : i already told you , chad , you two are a package deal . it 's not gon na work . so before i say good - bye , let 's have your cell phones . come on . i do n't have all day ! hand it over . you know what ? i 'm gon na have to prove that you guys are still alive , so with that in mind ... why do n't you smile for the camera ? come on , you can do better than that . make it look like you 're happy to be here . let 's see those pearly whites . ready ? one , two , three . [ camera clicks ] deimos : yeah , well , that 's gon na have to do . well , you have everything you could hope for here , so i will see you again once i get possession of the key . let 's just hope that your family members care more about you than what they would have made from the orwell . chad : deimos . gabi : wait , no , do n't leave us in here ! chad : deimos ! hey ! [ yells ] [ soft dramatic music ] eduardo : hey . he made it . he 's gon na be all right . kate : oh ! eduardo : yeah , yeah . kate : you must be so relieved . eduardo : yeah , you know , i got a lot of regrets in my life , but bringing him into this family thing , if it would have gone wrong , already , you know , it would have been hard to deal with that . kate : okay , look , do n't -- do n't beat yourself up about it anymore . he 's fine . he 's fine . focus on that . eduardo : yeah . thanks for , uh ... [ cell phones beep ] kate : sorry . it 's deimos . eduardo : `` meet -- meet me in andré 's room . `` kate : what do you think this is about ? eduardo : let 's find out . [ pounding on door ] gabi : chad ... chad : hey ! gabi : stop ! chad , stop ! it 's no use . he 's gone , okay ? he 's gone . so you honestly know nothing about this key ? chad : no , not unless it had something to do with the shipment tonight . gabi : what -- what shipment are you talking about ? chad : i had a guy watching the docks . apparently the kiriakises were expecting some important shipment tonight . it must have had something to do with the key or whatever he was looking for . gabi : and someone stole it . chad : yeah , i just wish i knew who . gabi : this is the first i 've heard of it . chad : so that key you gave deimos ... what was that all about ? gabi : well , i thought that 's what he wanted . it 's a key to the mansion . chad : yeah ? how 'd you get it ? gabi : abigail and i made a copy of sonny 's key . chad : what ? gabi : we wanted to use it to break into the safe and take the hard drive . look , before you say anything -- do n't give me a lecture . i know it was stupid . chad : how 'd you even know about the hard drive ? gabi : okay , please , just do n't be mad . chad : uh - huh . gabi : abigail and i were eavesdropping on you and sonny and dario at the tbd . i mean , we heard everything , and we figured that if we just -- we could stop the families from fighting if we took that hard drive and destroyed it . chad : so that was the little project the two of you were working on . gabi : trying to protect you guys . we were worried someone was gon na get hurt . chad : [ sighs ] damn . i really wish the two of you would n't have been involved , but i understand why you 'd be worried , especially after what happened with andré and dario , so ... gabi : what do you mean , dario ? what -- what happened to dario ? kate : so when do you think you 're going to get out of here ? andré : i 'm hoping in a day or two . kate : well , this is probably the safest place for you to be right now anyway . andré : i heard about dario . is he all right ? eduardo : surgery was a success . gon na be a while before he 's back on his feet , though . andré : it 's not that i 'm ungrateful for the visit . just i 'm a bit surprised . deimos : well , perhaps i can explain that . wow , quite the warm welcome . now , i ca n't say i made the arrangement myself , but ... i hope you like flowers . eduardo : got to say , man , you made a big mistake tonight . deimos : you know what ? maybe we should n't start by point fingers here . i mean , after all , someone did sink one of my ships . and someone else tried to have me killed . andré : what is it you want , deimos ? deimos : you know what i want . andré : you already have the orwell . deimos : yes , i do , but it 's worthless without the key . and i know one of you has it . eduardo : no idea what you 're talking about . deimos : yeah , you know what ? i kind of assumed that you would play it that way , which is why i thought this might convince you . eduardo : what the hell is going on with that ? deimos : is n't it obvious ? it 's called leverage . kate : what ? deimos : and if you ever wish to see them alive again , you will give me the damn key ! eduardo : you sick son of a bitch ! nicole : i know that i ca n't nurse her , but i - i can hold her . and i can show her how much i love her . please , chloe , just for a few minutes . i will stay right here . chloe : officer ? i 'm sorry to bother you , but this woman is harassing me and my baby . nicole : what ? chloe : could you please ask her to leave ? nicole : are you freaking kidding me ?

[ uneasy music ] hope as gina : what ? john ? oh , my god ! of course i 'm sorry . hope as gina : marlena was one of my best friends . you ... [ tense string music ] yes , we 've hit a rough patch , but no matter how bad things got , i would never wish this on her . i would never want to see her suffer ; i would never want you to suffer -- never ! john : no , no , no , you do n't understand . i 'm not saying i do n't believe you 're sorry . i 'm saying i do n't believe that she 's dead . hattie as marlena : i do n't want your comfort . i ca n't even stand to look at you . get the hell out of my sight ! steve as stefano : i understand , marlena . it 's the grief talking . but you should n't be alone right now . hattie as marlena : you are the last person i want to be around . steve as stefano : why would you say that ? hattie as marlena : is n't it obvious ? my husband is dead , and it 's all your fault ! abigail : who could 've painted this ? chad : i do n't know . the more important question is , why would somebody paint this , and how did it get here ? abigail : gabi has n't had anyone staying here , right ? chad : no ; as far as i know , this place has been empty since ben went to prison . abigail : but i mean , this could n't be ben 's . chad : i would seriously doubt it , but i do n't know . we could ask , uh -- we can ask ciara , see if she knows something . abigail : maybe this was just a prank . right ? chad : dimeras do not do pranks . i mean , my father 's original portrait went missing . rafe said that , um -- that he found it in that hideout . abigail : my uncle would be so creeped out by this . i mean , he ca n't stand stefano . he 's his enemy , and so to be painted like this , to look like him -- this is just -- this is so bizarre . chad : what 's bizarre is , it does n't look like it was done by memory . abigail : what do you mean ? chad : look at the pose , the detail . i mean , i 'm no artist , obviously , but it looks like he sat for it . abigail : he would -- why would he do that ? he would n't s ... i mean , it does look fairly recent . chad : why would he do it ? i mean , what in the world could explain this ? [ uneasy musical crescendo ] chad : strange . you know , my father kept reaching out , but he never let me see his face . abigail : but you do n't think ... chad : i know it sounds crazy . when nicole came here , everybody thought it was her , and it wasn't . abigail : no , it was kristen ... chad : mm - hmm . abigail : in a mask , pretending to be nicole so you think your father ... chad : can we rule it out ? dr. rolf -- he has the technology , and he would do absolutely anything to please my father . abigail : okay , so you 're saying -- chad : listen , what i am saying is this : what if my father changed his face , and now he looks like that ? steve as stefano : marlena ... i did everything i could to save john . hattie as marlena : i 'm sure you did , after you dragged him off to europe in your ridiculous plan to try to capture stefano . steve as stefano : listen , listen to me -- hattie as marlena : i begged him not to go . i begged him , but he insisted . you see , he thought you needed him , and he thought that you would protect him , but we see how that turned out . so when i could n't persuade him not to go , i did the next best thing . i begged to go with him . steve as stefano : marlena , if you had come with us , you would have only been putting yourself in danger , and for what ? you could n't have saved john . hattie as marlena : i would have been with him ! i would have been there to comfort him , to try to ease his pain , to tell him how much i love him . i would -- i would 've been there to hold him when he took his last breath . steve as stefano : i 'm sorry . please -- hattie as marlena : no . steve as stefano : you have to know how sorry i am . hattie as marlena : you know what ? you should be sorry . you should be , because you underestimated stefano . you were arrogant , and you were careless , and it cost my husband his life . [ strident music ] i do n't know who you are , steve . i do n't know what 's happened to you . hope as gina : i was there . i wish i could tell you it was possible that marlena 's still alive , but there is -- there 's no doubt in my mind , john . she could n't have survived . i 'm sorry . john : no , no , no , no , no , no . you do n't get it . stefano did something . he made you see what he wanted you to see . hope as gina : no , john -- john : trust me . there 's one thing i know in my soul . as evil as that old man is , there 's one evil that he would never commit , and that is killing marlena , because he treasures her life as much as his own . hope as gina : john , you do n't understand . i do n't think he meant to hurt her . she pushed him too far this time . when she spit in his face , he lost it . he became enraged . i 've never seen him like this . i 'm s ... john , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . john : no ! hope as gina : i could n't stop him . i 'm sorry . john : [ mutters ] i got ta get out of here . i got ta get back to salem . give me -- give me that thing that you used to unlock those shackles . just give it to me . hope as gina : what ? john : whatever that was , give it to me . i can get us out of here in no time . brady : what are you doing here , kristen ? nicole : just because we work together does n't mean you get to barge into my apartment . kristen : i did n't `` barge into `` your apartment . the door was open . here , here . the office said you were working from home , so i need that deal closed , so sign it . nicole : fine , i 'll sign it . [ tense music ] there , signed . good luck . now get out . kristen : fine . you know , wait a minute . i 'm sorry that i came in here unannounced , but xander mentioned that tate needed to be tested . is tate sick ? brady : no , no , he 's not . he 's fine . nicole : and now that you got what you came for , you can leave . [ clicks tongue ] xander : no , wait . please , kristen . i 'm actually glad you 're here . sarah : this is my fault . i gave you the wrong idea . eric : and i should n't have assumed . sarah : what i mean is , um ... i 've been depending on you so much , eric , and it 's not fair . ever since we took mickey to boston , i feel like all i do is lean on you . eric : and i 've been leaning on you , but it just ... seems natural in these circumstances . i mean , we need to be there for each other , for our daughter . [ tender music ] sarah : just 'cause her getting well -- that 's all that matters . [ tender music ] eric : just want to be strong for mackenzie , for you . sarah : you have been strong , eric . i mean , by god , you were kept from your daughter for the first six months of her life , and then you barely had any time to process it before she got sick , and you 've been so mad at nicole for keeping it from you , and what about me ? eric : nicole was being selfish . she did n't want to tell me that i was mickey 's father because she was afraid she was gon na lose me . then after i left ... you for nicole , you ... were only trying to do everything for me . i mean , you were alone , you were in pain , you ... pregnant ... sarah : and i was -- i ... i was in pain , but honestly , it 's nothing compared to what i feel now , 'cause i am so afraid , eric . eric : so am i . [ tender music ] kristen : you 're glad i 'm here ? xander : yeah . mackenzie needs a bone marrow transplant , and eric and sarah just found out that neither of them is a match . kristen : oh , no . that 's why you were talking about getting tate tested . xander : it 's not just about tate . look , i ... i know i 'm not mackenzie 's real father , but i love her like she 's my own , and i 'm on a mission to help save her life , so i 'm trying to get as many people as i can think of to get tested . theresa , tate -- anybody , even you , kristen . kristen : you know what ? of course i - i -- i 'll go get tested right away . nicole : oh , my god . i think i need to sit down . since when does kristen dimera do anything for anyone ever in her lifetime ? never , is what i 'm gon na say . never . kristen : since i lost a child , and i would never want eric and sarah to go through the pain that brady and i went through . xander : thank you , kristen , from the bottom of my heart . hope as gina : hey . john : come on , come on , come on , come on . hope as gina : why do n't you , uh , let me give it a try ? picked one of those shackles , did n't i ? john : [ grunts ] yeah , that is a fact . hope as gina : let me try . john : [ grunts ] all right , give her a shot . [ gentle flute music ] [ pick snaps ] hope as gina : ah , damn it ! john : what ? hope as gina : broke . john : gah , it 's just perfect ! perfect ! it 's just ... [ dramatic music ] rafe : stefano 's hideout . i found a tiara there which i later discovered had hope 's fingerprints on it . now , hope argued it was because she had mishandled evidence , but we now know it was because it belonged to gina . roman : so you think gina was hiding out there , too . rafe : be an ideal spot . the place has been empty ever since we raided it , so if gina needed a place to stash marlena , would n't it be perfect ? roman : what the hell are we waiting for ? let 's go . steve as stefano : marlena , i understand the pain you 're feeling because i feel it , too , but you have to know in your heart that i never wanted this to happen . i did everything i could to stop it , and so did john . [ melancholy music ] hattie as marlena : i know that . i know that 's true . it 's not your fault , and i ... should n't be lashing out at you . i just -- i have to ... lash out at somebody , and the person that i should be blaming really is stefano . abigail : so you think that your father disguised himself as my uncle steve , and he wore a mask or got plastic surgery or something ? chad : look , i know . i told you , it sounds crazy . abigail : it 's crazy . uh , why ? why would he do that ? chad : same reason kristen did : tactical advantage . right ? he 'd come to town . everybody thinks you 're friends instead of an enemy . gain their trust . abigail : but stefano is old , and -- and my uncle steve is young , and he 's healthy , and yeah , he 's been acting a little strange since he 's been back , but that 's not -- there 's no way that he could be stefano dimera . is there ? chad : what is that look ? what are you thinking ? abigail : i went to visit kristen a few weeks ago , and i was sure that she was gon na be meeting stefano . chad : yeah , but he was n't there . abigail : no , but my uncle steve was . chad : right . abigail : kristen said that stefano had just left , but i do n't know . what if ... chad : so what if my father is running around , wearing steve johnson 's face ? abigail : [ scoffs ] chad : but why would he tell kristen and not me ? abigail : well , because he could n't tell you . he would -- if he told you , then you would tell me , and then i would tell my whole family , and i would ruin the whole thing , so ... oh , my god , i ca n't believe we 're even having this conversation right now . chad : right , that makes two of us . but it pisses me off , because i knew that she was being cagey about everything that was going on with my father , and now i just -- i need to do anything i can to get it out of her . kristen : well , i 'm sure the two of you are eager to get back to working from home , so ... brady : kristen . i 'm actually glad that you came by . kristen : wow . everybody 's happy to see me today . that 's novel . brady : nicole and i have something to tell you . kristen : you know what ? i 'm sorry . if this has to do with business , it 's gon na have to wait . baby mackenzie is in desperate need of a bone marrow donor , and i 'm gon na go to the hospital right now and get tested , and the odds that i 'm a match are probably very slim . it 's the least i can do . it 's the least we all can do . [ dramatic music ] xander : oh , great news , uncle victor . brady and kristen both agreed to be tested . no , kristen did n't even hesitate . brady did get a little bit suspicious when i pressed him about tate . well , he considers him a long shot as a donor because he thinks tate and mackenzie are only second cousins . also , he 's protective of his son . does n't want him going through a surgical procedure . hmm , well , guess we 'll have to wait and see , but tate is probably our best candidate , since he 's actually mackenzie 's half - brother . [ uneasy music ] look , i do n't want to get ahead of myself , but if we need to reveal the truth in order to get tate tested , and -- fine , fine . we 'll cross that bridge when we come to it . i have to check on sarah , see how she 's holding up . [ hangs up ] [ knock on door ] sarah ? henderson said you were , uh ... oh . [ dramatic synth music ] [ cell phone rings ] roman : hey . got anything for me ? all right , all right . great . thanks , buddy . [ hangs up ] rafe : your old contact from the isa come through ? roman : yeah , he did . he came through big . a woman fitting hope 's description boarded a flight last night to prague . she 's got ta be trying to get to john . rafe : was marlena with her ? roman : well , my buddy says she was traveling alone , but there 's a record that shows marlena 's passport being scanned at the airport in prague . rafe : we found all of marlena 's personal effects in a purse at the house . roman : yeah , well , maybe hope just did n't let her take anything with her . rafe : no use wasting our time here . looks like we 've got some traveling to do . roman : yeah , it would seem that hope and marlena are probably halfway around the world right now . hattie as marlena : stefano is not gon na get away with this . i do n't care how long it takes or what i 've got to do . i 'm gon na track him down and kill him with my bare hands . steve as stefano : if i were stefano , i 'd be very afraid . hattie as marlena : you know what ? we 're not safe here . we 've got to get out of here before gina comes back . [ uneasy music ] it 's locked ! steve as stefano : what ? hattie as marlena : how can it be locked ? it was open when you came in . steve as stefano : gina must have doubled back and secured it from the outside somehow . hattie as marlena : oh , then we 're trapped . steve as stefano : we 're not trapped . hattie as marlena : i 've got to call my children . i 've got to tell them about john . steve as stefano : wait , we 're gon na find a way out of this . it 's gon na be okay , marlena . and remember , you 're not alone . i 'm right here with you . hattie as marlena : yeah . thank you . wait a minute . something is n't adding up here . john : no , no , no , no . i ca n't be locked up in here . i got ta get out . i 've got to get back to salem . hope as gina : no , john ... john : i got ta get back to my family . hope as gina : john , sit down . sit down . john : sitting down ai n't gon na get us out of here . hope as gina : yeah , well , neither is collapsing where you stand . you have a concussion . you need to rest . deep breath ; that 's it . that 's right . you 're gon na be okay . just let me help you , okay ? let me help you . [ disquieting music ] nicole : well , that was simple enough . you 'll be in and out of here in no time . brady : actually , i do n't have to go in at all . i 'm still on the bone marrow registry from when i got tested for chloe . nicole : when she had leukemia , that 's right . the national bone marrow registry . brady : mm - hmm . nicole : i 'd forgotten about that . brady : i mean , mackenzie 's match might not even be in salem . it could be anywhere in the country , and because eric and sarah are n't matches , and she does n't have any siblings , they 're gon na check the entire database . nicole : [ scoffs ] can you believe kristen felt so strongly about running down here to get tested ? she almost seemed human , but she 's not , so do n't get sucked back in again . brady : tr -- uh , trust me . that ship has sailed . nicole : mm , mm - hmm . well , after what she did to me , i had no problem pretending that we were an item , but i never wanted to hurt anyone else , and now eric 's upset with me again . brady : and you want to pull the plug . nicole : i 'm afraid if we do , kristen will go after you again with a vengeance . brady : she 's gon na find out the truth sooner or later anyway -- i mean , especially if you tell eric , which honestly , you probably should . nicole : i 'm going to . brady : good . he needs the support right now anyway . nicole : i just hope he accepts it for me . eric : i should go . sarah : xander , this is n't what it looks like . xander : please , just spare us both the mealy - mouthed explanations . just be with eric . it 's what you wanted all along , anyway . sarah : no , that 's just it . i have been confused for so long about what i want , and then the baby came , and it was all about her , and then she got sick , and then eric and i found out that neither of us are a bone marrow match for her , so we could n't help but cling to each other , just to have something , anything , to hold onto . xander : i really do n't need to hear any more , thanks . sarah : yes , you do , xander , 'cause eric and i almost slept together , but i want you to know that we didn't . [ pensive music ] kristen : fancy seeing you here . brady : hey . you okay ? kristen : yeah , i 'm holding up . it 's just ... after all these months , being back here ... brady : i know . kristen : and i think about that awful night when we lost our baby girl . brady : yeah , it 's pretty rough for me , too . thank you for doing this and volunteering for being tested for mackenzie . i mean , to me , it 's my niece , but to you , it 's just -- well , it 's the daughter of the family that you hate , so ... kristen : brady , i do n't hate your family . um , now that that 's taken care of , you wanted to tell me something earlier . brady : yeah . um ... why do n't i walk you home , and we 'll talk then ? okay ? kristen : okay . abigail : okay , you ca n't just go and confront kristen , because she 's just gon na lie to you . chad : yeah , i 'm not gon na confront her . abigail : well , what are you gon na do ? chad : my father wanted her shares . he came to me , right ? he trusts me more than her . so we play them off each other . abigail : no . chad : why not ? abigail : no ! because kristen and stefano are dangerous , and they 're unpredictable , and honestly , i regret ever even suggesting that you meet with your father . chad : right , i know , right , this is gon na be dangerous ... abigail : yes , exactly . chad : especially with dr . rolf involved . he pushed your mother off a balcony , but he -- and now he 's messing with your uncle steve 's life . look at me . we do n't have a choice . we have to figure out what 's going on . roman : two tickets on the next flight to prague . rafe : you kidding me ? you tell your guy -- you tell him i owe him big time . roman : you owe me , actually . i cashed in some frequent flyer miles . do n't worry about it . you can take me to dinner when we 're done with all of this . rafe : all right . roman : rafe , we 're gon na find her . rafe : yeah , yeah . i know , i know . i just , uh ... wish i 'd have figured this whole damn thing out sooner . roman : you ca n't blame yourself -- you did n't even know hope during princess gina 's last reign of terror . i did ; i was in the front row for it , okay ? i should 've connected the dots . i 'm just glad shawn figured out what the hell was going on . rafe : yeah , you and me both . speaking of shawn , i 'm gon na call him , give him an update on what 's going on . i 'm gon na see if he can stick around in case this whole thing 's a wild goose chase . roman : all right . i 'll call john . i 'm getting a little worried . i ca n't get ahold of him or steve . rafe : okay . steve as stefano : what do you mean , something does n't add up ? hattie as marlena : well , if all gina wanted was to be with john , she did n't have to track you down in europe and bring you back here to help find stefano . it -- it does n't make sense . steve as stefano : actually , i think i can answer that for you . john : you know how many times people have told me i lost doc , how many ... [ laughs ] how many times i said my final goodbyes to her ? hope as gina : i know you want to believe that marlena 's still alive . john : i know she is . i know it , because stefano is a master manipulator , so until i see her body with my own eyes , i will never believe that she is gone . steve as stefano : gina had months to try to win john 's affections . she did n't resort to drastic measures until she brought me here , which is why i 'm sure she is working with stefano . she used me to lure john into his trap . hattie as marlena : yes , but what if their plan -- steve as stefano : marlena , marlena , your husband just died . speculating about gina 's motives is n't going to change that . hattie as marlena : what if john is n't dead ? steve as stefano : i was there . hattie as marlena : you know , um , when john and i were on our honeymoon in hawaii , he went out for a swim and disappeared . everybody thought he had drowned , but he hadn't . gina had kidnapped him . she wanted him for herself . so if gina and stefano are involved in this , i refuse to believe that my husband is gone . [ suspenseful music ] chad : we really think that your uncle steve could be my father in disguise ? abigail : i know it sounds implausible and insane , but it 's your dad . it 's stefano dimera . he 's capable of anything . [ disquieting music ] kristen : well , thank you for walking me home . brady : of course . kristen : uh , you wanted to talk ? let 's talk . can i get you anything ? um , coffee ? brady : no , no , nothing . listen , i 'll get right to the point , okay ? it 's about nicole and me . [ somber music ] nicole : eric . your secretary told me i could find you here . eric : i was on my way out . nicole : hey , uh ... xander told us that you and sarah are n't a match for mackenzie . i 'm so sorry . brady and i went to the hospital to get tested ourselves . eric : thank you . thank brady for me when you get home to him . nicole : wait , eric . i 'm not going home to brady . we 're not together . the truth is , we never were . xander : so you did n't sleep with eric ? whatever . you do n't owe me an explanation . sarah : yes , i do . you have been so wonderful to mickey and me , and i saw how hurt you were when you walked in here . xander , i fell into bed with you once because i was hurting , and i wanted to make the pain go away , but that was a mistake , because i had feelings for eric , but today , i realized that i do n't want to make the same mistake again , because i do n't love eric , not anymore . i 'm in love with you . | sarah offered to be there for eric . he kissed her and they started making out until she put on the brakes . she relied on him a lot so she wanted to return the favor . they talked about his situation with nicole . she wondered why he could n't forgive her . she thought it was strange that he could forgive her , but not nicole . they started talking about mickey and ended up kissing again . xander and brady went back and forth about whether tate should be tested as a donor for mickey . brady thought it was a long shot that tate would be a match . brady wondered why he was trying so hard to talk him into that . kristen arrived to let them know she needed someone to sign a document . nicole was there so she signed it . kristen wanted to know if tate was the one who was sick . brady assured her it was n't tate . xander explained what was going on with mickey . he wanted to know if she would get tested . she agreed to do it . chad and abby find the portrait of steve and noticed how much it looks like stefano . chad noticed how steve is wearing a ring in the portrait and wondered what it was . they thought the picture was strange . they also noticed how it looked like he posed for the picture . chad thought stefano changed his face to look like steve . abby wondered why stefano would do that . they started talking about him using steve 's face . chad realized that was why stefano went to kristen instead of him . chad realized that stefano assumed he would tell abby and her family . he wanted to talk to kristen . he decided to play one off the other to get to the truth . abby did n't want him to do it , but he did n't have a choice . marlena was heartbroken over john 's death . stefano tried to make her feel better . he reminded her that john wanted him to take care of her and he planned to do it . she collapsed in his arms , but she quickly got away from him . she could n't stand the thought of looking at him . she blamed him for what happened to john . she did n't want him to go , but he insisted on helping him . she hated how she was n't there to hold john when he died . she continued to lash out at him . he told her that he did what he could to protect john . she apologized for the way she spoke to him . gina lied to john about stefano killing marlena . john was shocked by the news . he fell to the floor and started crying . she smiled while he was n't looking and held him . he did n't believe that marlena was dead . he used the pick gina had to open the lock on the door . he could n't do it so he let her try it . she broke the pick on purpose but pretended it was an accident . he said he would n't believe that marlena was dead until he saw her body . |
