[ laughs ] but it 's a first step . you know , from mayor , we can go to governor . stefano : all right , but you see , what you 're trying to do to make things legitimate for the family -- that is very honorable . ej : and it would have been a lot easier if john black had stayed in prison , right ? stefano : that 's not what i was going to say . ej : oh , why not ? hmm ? it 's true . if i was still pursuing this class - action suit against john , abe would n't be able to go out there on his little soapbox and tell everybody that the only reason that i wish to become mayor is so that i can make the rich people richer . and when i find out how john got out of jail , let me tell you something -- stefano : no , look -- ej : no , let me -- stefano : please , will you forget about john black ? he is not gon na help you get elected , all right ? you will do it on your own good name . kate : good name ? you 're not becoming a pillar of the community , are you ? i had such high hopes for you , my love . ej : oh , do n't worry , mummy . despite my public persona , i stop at nothing to get what i want , and abraham over there -- he knows it . [ scene_break ] abe : who was that guy ? what did he tell you ? jennifer : it 's my , uh , contact -- david . he covers the north side precincts for me . abe : and ? jennifer : and ... he said you 're falling behind in the exit polls . abe : damn . jennifer : but you know what , abe ? most people -- they 're not even honest at the exit polls , especially in this election . abe : what do you mean ? jennifer : i do n't know . maybe -- maybe they want stefano to think that they did n't go on record saying they voted against his son . but you know what ? it is not over yet , abe . abe : [ sighs ] you know , just the idea that ej can win this thing ... lexie : what 's going on ? all : hey . abe : uh ... well , you know that guy that jennifer was talking to -- he 's a poll watcher , and , well , he says that ej is ahead in the exit polls right now . lexie : so ? i mean , that could change in a heartbeat . abe : unemployment is up . people are not happy about it . lexie : yeah , but , honey , that 's not your fault . abe : still , i think we ... might have to get used to the idea i could lose . lexie : no , no , no , stop . i do n't accept that , okay ? it ca n't happen . there is no way the people in this town are going to let my father and my brother control the politics here . oh , what time is it ? i 've got to call and check on theo . i 'll be right back , okay ? abe : [ sighs ] jennifer : abe , i 'm so sorry . abe : yeah , well , i am too . you know , i do wish we had handled a few things differently and not stooped to ej 's level . jennifer : what , the debate ? abe , you know what ? i - i feel uncomfortable about that too , but it helped us . you are running against the heir to a crime syndicate . that is the first time that we ever strayed from the straight and narrow . abe : true . jennifer : yeah , so , if we lose , you know what ? it does n't matter , because we fought the good fight , abe . lexie : okay , would you stop with all this negative talk ? all right , abe is n't conceding anything . right , honey ? abe : that 's right . lexie : that 's right . jennifer : i do n't know why abe did n't come with us . you know , that 's why i - i hired a car and a driver -- just to make the day easier for him . lexie : yeah , well , driving relaxes him . jennifer : yeah . yeah , it 's a good time for him to be alone . lexie : uh - huh . jennifer : maybe he 's working on his acceptance speech . lexie : yeah . let 's hope he gets to make it . jennifer : you 're more worried than you let on . lexie : [ sighs ] okay , how can anyone actually vote for ej dimera ? right ? i mean , come on , the man had to give up custody of his children because of the way he lives his life . jennifer : lexie , incumbents have an uphill battle in this economy , even the good guys like abe . lexie : yeah , yeah , i know . but salem is one of the few cities in the state that did n't lay off teachers , firefighters , i mean , cops . jennifer : i know , lex . lexie : how could the people just vote off a good man ? jennifer : wait , lexie . they did n't do anything yet . look at me . we have to keep the faith , okay ? lexie : yeah . jennifer : just relax . just breathe . jack : hi ! jennifer : hey . lexie : hi , jack . jack : you all ready for a victory party ? lexie : yes , we are . yeah . um , would you excuse me ? i want to check the parking lot , see if abe 's here yet . jennifer : okay . jack : everything all right ? jennifer : oh , yeah . we 're just , uh -- we 're so nervous right now . jack : what are you talking about -- mayor dimera ? give me a break . abe 's gon na win this thing hands down . jennifer : where 's abigail ? she was with you . jack : she 's talking to carrie . jennifer : oh , carrie reed ? jack : yeah . jennifer : why ? jack : well , i just thought she needs to get a little bit of advice . did you know that she was seeing somebody after chad ? jennifer : well , i - i knew she was interested in someone . jack : well , that someone managed to break her heart . jennifer : what ? my poor baby . jack : yeah , yeah , i 'm ready to strangle the little jerk , but , uh ... i figure , you know , i get her to talk to a slightly older woman , she can give her some words of wisdom . jennifer : oh . she could have talked to me . jack : you ? jennifer : why do you say that ? jack : well , jennifer , you 're her mother . besides , she 's still mad at you about the mad world thing . jennifer : no , i know , but -- jack : listen , trust me . carrie 's gon na be great . it 's gon na really help abigail to talk to someone who 's completely neutral . jennifer : yeah . [ scene_break ] abigail : well , um ... i was still with chad when i met him , so i did n't want to like him , but i ... i could n't help myself . carrie : why ? abigail : he 's older , for one thing . and he got to me in this way that guys my age never do . he seemed really interested in everything i had to say and ... and what i was feeling . it was like ... like it really mattered to him . when we were together , i had no track of time or anything . and then when we were apart , i ... i could n't stop thinking about being with him again . carrie : oh , boy . abigail : i know what you 're thinking . i know this sounds just like some stupid crush , but i 've had plenty of those , and this is completely different . it was n't like that . i thought he was ... i thought he was the one . carrie : did he -- did he say he felt the same way ? abigail : yeah , yeah , he did . carrie : but then ... ? abigail : but then i saw him kissing someone else . [ scene_break ] stefano : [ sighing ] ay - yi - yi . look , once you are declared winner , i hope that you will not forget that your sister is married to mr . carver . kate : it 's a lousy job , but someone has to do it . stefano : yeah , because she 's going to be terribly , terribly disappointed -- i know . and so is theodore . and i have to admit , you know , i mean , they are very important to me . ej : no , i know , father . to me too . look , of course i 'll be sensitive to alexandra . but she needs to understand that abraham 's time has come and gone . kate : well , the election 's over . the results are in . what do you think the mood is at the carver headquarters ? you think abe knows it 's over ? nicole : so you 'll text me right before it goes to press ? thank you , andy . i really , really owe you . they 're ready to announce the winner . stefano : huh . [ scene_break ] abe : well , this is our home , and it 's theo 's home . and i want to make sure that ... his generation ... is not worse off than we were . lexie : and that is exactly what would happen with ej as mayor . the people know that , honey . abe : yeah , you 're right . you know , i think i 'm gon na win this thing . lexie : i know you are . abe : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] jack : hey , hey , hey , get a room at the salem inn ! jennifer : no , you ca n't right now , because the election commission is about to call the winner . [ cell phone ringing ] jennifer : [ gasps ] oh , gosh . this is it . [ scene_break ] nicole : it 's andy again . [ cell phone ringing ] nicole : are you ready , mr. mayor ? hey , andy . give me the good news . [ scene_break ] carrie : oh , honey , so this guy -- he was seeing someone else , and you did n't even know ? abigail : no , it was n't exactly like that . um ... i knew that there was another woman in the picture , but ... he led me to believe that it was over with her . he was really sweet to me . and ... i do n't know -- i got the feeling that he loved me the same way that i loved him . but it turns out he just wanted one thing . i feel really stupid now . carrie : do n't feel stupid . you were in love . abigail : yeah , i was , for the first time in my life . carrie : and he -- he 's older than you . he had been around more than you . this is completely on him , abigail . can you -- can you believe this ? what an ass ! austin : pbbt . you can say that again . [ scene_break ] jennifer : yes , yeah , i 'm still here . [ scene_break ] ej : so ? what is it ? nicole : i told you i 'm still on hold . yes , of course i 'm still here . where else would i go ? now tell me who won . [ scene_break ] jennifer : yes , he is still with me . uh , i will tell him . thank you . abe : all right ... tell me what ? jennifer : it was close , abe . it was really closer than anyone predicted . but you did it , mr. mayor . you won ! lexie : see ? oh , i told you ! jennifer : you just made ej dimera an ordinary citizen again . lexie : well , i mean , he 'll never be that . oh , sweetheart , honey , you did it ! abe : oh , we did it . we did it . we did it . we did it ! we did it ! lexie : [ laughing ] [ scene_break ] stefano : well , do n't keep us in suspense , nicole . nicole : i ... i 'm so sorry , ej . ej : what ? [ muttering ] no . there -- there -- there has to be some ... mistake . nicole : the election commission certified the results . they 're about to announce it on tv . kate : i thought you were sure . stefano : yes , well , obviously she does n't know what the hell she 's talking about . ej : stop , all right ? this is just -- this is not possible , nicole ! [ scene_break ] carrie : austin , are you gon na say anything ? austin : i 'm just trying to figure out how to put it . from a guy 's perspective , i think that there 's a distinct possibility that he 's not quite as calculating as he sounds . abigail : you do ? carrie : what do you mean ? austin : i mean , maybe he did n't realize he was leading you on ... and did n't mean to let things get so far . carrie : oh , come on . austin : hey , carrie , you know , sometimes guys get carried away too , do n't they ? carrie : he was older , austin . it was his responsibility not to get carried away . abigail : you know , the first time he kissed me , i could hardly breathe afterward . and i know he felt the same way . i know he did . he was n't thinking about anyone else but me . austin : and then maybe he realized that he could n't destroy what he had with the other -- other woman . and he just did n't know how to tell you . carrie : why are you defending this jerk ? austin : i am not . i am not defending him . i just want abigail to know that she did n't do anything wrong . sometimes things just do n't work out . abigail : oh , okay . so then from a guy 's perspective , it 's totally fine that he just used me and threw me away and went on to his happy little life , then , right ? austin : i 'm not saying that -- abigail : i 'm still in love with him , austin . so what am i supposed to do ? [ scene_break ] ej : well ... that was not supposed to happen . stefano : so ... all the assurances that you gave me ... [ clears throat ] that you did not need my help ... and that the election was a forgone conclusion -- all of that , that -- that 's all wrong now , huh ? ej : see , i thought that everything was under control . i thought everything was in place . stefano : and yet you lost . huh ? okay , so somebody -- somebody must have dropped the ball . so what i want to know -- my question to you is , what are you going to do about it ? nicole : i do n't know ... but i 'm gon na start getting some answers . stefano : yeah , sure . exit polls , right ? [ chuckles ] finding out how many people vote . sure . yeah . good . ej : yeah , yeah , yeah . it 's not as effective as bribery , threats , intimidation . stefano : you want to know something ? sometimes the old ways are the best ways . ej : i 'm going to find out what happened , okay ? stefano : well , i certainly hope so , because your losing this is a real knockdown . ej : you think i do n't know that ? stefano : you know something ? you did this not only for yourself , you know . you also did it for your children and for me ! do n't tell me . i do n't want people going around saying that , uh , uh , stefano 's son is not enough on the ball to become the mayor of this dinky , little town . kate : stefano , stop . stefano : no ! your idea for the family was a great one . but what did you do ? huh ? what ? you put it in the hands of a martini - swilling bimbo , just because you 've been in bed with her . [ groans ] ej : that 's enough . stefano : i 'm just getting started ... because ... [ sighs ] elvis , you botched it up , do n't you understand ? from top to bottom , botched it up . [ scene_break ] abe : you were the first person i called when i got the news . yeah , well , mommy and i are gon na be home later , and then we 'll celebrate . yeah . oh , i love you , buddy . yeah . here -- here 's your mama . lexie : hi , sweetheart . is n't it great ? daddy won ! jennifer : well , i ca n't really give you an exact time until i speak to the mayor . yes , that 's right . thank you . lexie : well , make sure you watch daddy 's speech on tv tonight . okay , sweetheart , we love you . bye - bye . oh , that 's one happy little boy ! jennifer : wow . we did it . jack : you sure did . i 'm proud of both of you . [ laughter ] hey , listen , can i help you handle that mob of reporters over there ? jennifer : yes , please . jack : all right . congratulations , mr. mayor . abe : thank you . thank you . lexie : you see ? was i right , or was i right ? abe : oh , you were right . lexie : mm - hmm . sometimes when you play by the rules and are a person of honesty and integrity , it actually works . would you excuse me ? i want to call the hospital , let them know that i wo n't be available tonight . i 'll be right back , okay ? okay . arnie : mayor carver . arnie jacobson . i 'm a reporter and a friend of jennifer devereaux 's . abe : oh , right , right . she talked to me about you . arnie : well , i should think so . i 'm the guy who got you the debate questions in advance . abe : well , thank you for your support . arnie : oh , no problem . i 'm just sorry i could n't send dimera the fake debate questions , but , uh , it looks like you were able to do that all on your own . congratulations , mayor . i 'll talk to you soon . lexie : please tell me what he just said is n't true . [ scene_break ] carrie : oh , abigail , of course you feel like you were used by this guy . i mean , after the way he treated her , how could she not ? austin : i just think that this guy probably feels horrible himself . maybe he has n't had a chance to explain himself . carrie : austin , come on . i mean , not all guys are like you . abigail : you know , i want to be mad . i do , but , um ... i ca n't get there ... 'cause i 'm just really hurt . he wants to pretend like i 'm this mistake that he has to sweep under the rug and forget about . but i was imagining spending my life with this man . so i 'm such an idiot . [ scene_break ] ej : i 'm not going to stand here and listen to you say `` i told you so . `` stefano : what are you going to do ? ej : the same thing that i always do , father -- find out what happened , and i 'm going to see what i can salvage . stefano : well , maybe abe can appoint you to the school board . [ exhales deeply ] kate : you were pretty tough on him . stefano : hey , listen ... every time that he asks to be on his own , he lets me down . kate : that class - action suit was a crucial part of ej 's strategy , and it 's not his fault that john black managed to walk on the charges . stefano : why are you sticking up for elvis , huh ? i mean , this is something that he could have taken in stride . he could have proved to everybody that he was the man to run this town ... instead of being a lapdog to the ... brady 's and the -- the other bunch , whatever the hell their name is . kate : the brady 's and the horton 's do things their way . we do things our way . but whatever happened to ej today , this is still his family . nicole : look , you told me there would be no surprises . you fix this . you fix this , or you deal with me . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] abe : i do n't know what you think you heard . lexie : i 'll tell you what i heard -- that what ej and nicole said was true . you got the debate questions in advance , and you made sure that ej got the wrong ones . abe : we did n't feel we had a choice . lexie : i ca n't believe this . abe : we found out ej was going to go all out . he was trying to get the debate questions in advance . we decided we had to make a preemptive strike . if we had n't , ej would have come off looking polished and prepared , and i would have looked like some -- lexie : like an honest man ? abe : do you know how sick i am of ej 's dirty tricks ? how it feels to always be turning the other cheek ? and for once -- for once , lexie ... i want to go one- on - one . lexie : yeah , well , you did that . you acted just like him ! i told theo tonight that doing the right thing , that playing by the rules , that acting with honesty and integrity actually works , okay ? i told him that that 's what you did , abe . it was a lie . abe : lex , listen to me ... lexie : you lied -- you lied to the people who voted for you , abe . you lied to me . abe : lexie , if you give me a chance , i - i - i know that i can make you understand -- lexie : no , i do n't -- jennifer : okay , it 's all set up . ready for your victory speech ? abe : now ? jennifer : yes . now . abe , this is your moment . what are you waiting for ? lexie : you 'd better go . [ scene_break ] carrie : do n't ever think that you were dumb for falling in love . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i do n't even know this guy , but i can tell you he 's not worth shedding a lot of tears over , okay ? you deserve so much better . abigail : yeah , i guess . carrie : you do . oh , god , i also feel so sorry for this other woman . she probably has no idea that this guy that she 's with is complete scum . come here . [ scene_break ] ej : i 'm not making a concession speech because i 'm not conceding anything . call me back . stefano : did you find out what happened ? i mean , how could carver beat you like that ? kate : give him a chance to talk . ej : hold on . here ... abe 's making his acceptance speech . [ scene_break ] [ applause ] stefano : certainly do n't want to miss that . abe : thank you . thank you all . thank you . thank you for coming . thank you . thank you . thank you very much . i stand before you ... filled with gratitude . i 'm deeply grateful to you all for giving me the opportunity to serve as your mayor for four more years . and i promise that i will do my very best to live up to your faith in me . i 'm also grateful for the support i 've had during this campaign . i , uh ... i do n't know what i would have done without the help and wise counsel of jennifer deveraux and her staff . [ applause ] abe : thank you , jen . thank you for ... well , for helping me run a successful and straightforward campaign . and another person who inspires me every day ... my partner for life , the mother of my son , theo ... the woman who stands beside this man ... dr. lexie carver .

[ scene_break ] kate : why is she just standing there ? ej : she probably ca n't believe what 's happening . stefano : i wish i could feel happy for her . [ scene_break ] [ footsteps approaching ] ej : hey . that should have been us . nicole : it will be us ... sooner than you think .	lexie and abe are outside of the pub . lexie noticed jennifer inside talking to a strange man . lexie was curious why she was talking to him . inside the pub , the guy talking to jennifer wanted to know if he should go through with guaranteeing that abe win the election . stefano , ej , nicole , and kate were at the dimera mansion waiting for the results of the election . stefano warned ej and nicole not to be so sure that abe wo n't win the election . stefano implied that nicole did n't do everything she could to make sure that ej won the election . nicole thought stefano was referring to the fact that she did n't buy the election for ej . nicole believed that ej did n't need her to buy the election in order for him to win . stefano was n't so sure about that anymore . jennifer wanted to give the guy the green light to rig the election , but abe did n't want her to do it . the guy said to let him know if abe changes his mind , but he has to hurry because the polls were going to be closing soon . after the guy leaves , abe walked in the pub and wanted to know the bad news . jack and austin wanted to walk away while carrie and abby were talking . abby wanted austin to stay and listen to what she was going to say to carrie . carrie agreed that austin should stay because he may know that guy that abby is talking about . jennifer told abe that the guy let her know that he is losing in the polls . abe thought that it could change . abe talked to jennifer about regretting his actions just as lexie showed up . abe told lexie that he 's losing in the polls to ej . lexie was sure that the people in salem do not want ej and stefano controlling the town . she was sure that abe could still win . lexie went to check on theo . abe told jennifer that he wishes he handled things differently . jennifer assured abe that they did everything they could regardless of the outcome of the election . jennifer ran into jack at the town square and they talked about the election as well as what was going on with abby . jack told jennifer that abby is still mad at her about the modeling and she 's dealing with heartbreak because of someone she was seeing after chad .
ej : so ... what do you think of my proposal ?

[ scene_break ] ej : my goodness , samantha brady at a loss for words . i never thought i 'd see the day . sami : i just ca n't believe you did all this . ej : truth be told , not entirely my idea . [ scene_break ] nick : oh , uh ... gabi : did -- did you just call sonny `` the other gay boy `` ? nick : well , i did n't mean anything by it . i just ... he happens to be gay , and that 's the way i chose to describe him . gabi : okay , but , i mean , you did n't -- you did n't need to do that . i mean , i know sonny . i know -- i know him . i know he 's gay . i know a lot of things about him . nick : what 's your point ? gabi : well , it 's almost sounding like you want to keep the baby away from will and sonny because they 're gay . nick : what ? no . no , no , no , no , no , no , no . you 're -- you 're reading way too much into this . it was n't my intention to convey that at all . gabi : okay , so what did you mean to convey ? nick : that i 'm worried about who will 's listening to right now . i mean , sami has already made it extremely clear where she stands on this . she told your brother that she would not hesitate to encourage will to go for full custody and make you jump through hoops in order to see your own child . if she starts putting those ideas in sonny 's head as well ... gabi : i - i ca n't do this . everybody in will 's family hates me . nick : that 's why i have a plan to protect you ... to make sure that our baby is raised by the right parent .

[ scene_break ] gabi : okay , wait . w - what is it about the hortons that you 're not telling me ? nick : well , exactly -- i 'm not telling you . gabi : well , why not ? nick : because like i said , it 's nothing you need to worry about . it 's just -- it 's family stuff . gabi : well , what you 're talking about sounds actually a little bit like blackmail . nick : and that sounds an awful lot ... like needless worrying . gabi : nick , the parole board , okay ? you ca n't be taking any chances . nick : listen to me . i have no intention of playing dirty unless it becomes absolutely necessary . gabi : okay , and then what ? nick : and then all i would be doing is telling the truth . whether or not that happens is totally up to will .

[ laughter ] marlena : well , they do belong together . that 's just right with the universe . kayla : so happy . shane : you got ta admit , it 's pretty amazing . we just pulled off possibly the greatest sting operation of our career , and here we are , ready for your wedding with , oh , plenty of time to spare . steve : are you sure we pulled it off ? shane : listen , the justice system has cleared hope of murder , and once she finds out , she wo n't believe she 's a murderer either . that was our whole goal . steve : mm - hmm . but we still have to live with knowing that she really did kill stefano . shane : oh , come on . stefano goaded her into pulling that trigger . stefano dimera killed himself . steve : i like the sound of that . shane : and now everybody , except the two of us , believes that he escaped from jail and that he 's a fugitive roaming the world , waiting to die . no one 's afraid of him anymore , and that 's how it should be . steve : that 's right . phoenix is history . kate : so after the wedding , we 're all gon na sit down again and we can make some plans for the rest of the time you 're here . austin : we 're not done talking about you and andré . kate : [ sighs ] austin , seriously , it 's not like we 're a couple , okay . that is not gon na happen . austin : not only are you two living together , but i hear that you 're going up against victor kiriakis 's baby brother . kate : no . we 're not going up against deimos . dimera enterprises is conducting business with deimos . it 's all very civilized , thank you very much . austin : civilized means very different things between you and me . [ laughter ] kate : oh , my god . how do you stand this man ? carrie : i do n't know , but i do . kate : no , seriously , austin , andré has changed . austin : he 's stefano 's boy , and he always will be . carrie : austin 's right . just do n't get in too deep with him and , whatever you do , do n't get on his bad side . kate : wow . well , thank you very much , both of you , for your concern , but i have been taking care of myself for a long time now , so . austin : that 's true . carrie : well , i need to get going if i 'm gon na see kayla before the wedding , so . kate : i 'm ... so happy you came . i really am . carrie : we 're thrilled to be back . i 'll see you at the wedding . austin : okay . kate : hmm . austin : so ... how are you doing , knowing that stefano 's not dead after all and running around on the loose ? kate : does n't bother me . austin : he could come back . kate : no , i think he 's too old now to risk doing that , and i could n't be more happy about it . shawn : so you heard , right ? you heard the judge 's ruling ? hope : i ca n't believe it . ciara : steve and rafe were amazing . shawn : and , uh , rafe is about to kill raines right now . hope : i better get in there . wait for me ? ciara : yeah . shawn : yeah . we 're not going anywhere . hope : right . i love you . rafe : oh , my god . oh . oh , my god . detective brady . you all right ? hope : i am great , detective , all thanks to you . rafe : sure ? hope : yeah . rafe : okay . [ whispers indistinctly ] hope : i 'm here to turn myself in . i 'm ready to give a statement . raines : finally decided to cooperate . rafe : wait , why do n't you just take it down a notch , huh ? hope : rafe , it 's okay . raines : before you give any kind of statement , you may want a lawyer present . you 're still being charged with escaping from statesville . rafe : you know , it was for a crime that she did not commit . hope : and i did n't escape . raines : excuse me , i saw you with my own eyes . hope : i made some friends on the inside . they were worried about my safety after i was attacked . without my knowledge , they came up with a plan and they got me out of there . well , i 'm sure you agreed to it . hope : no . i did n't even know about it . i was chloroformed in the prison yard and smuggled out in a garbage dumpster . when i came to , i believe that the man who was driving the garbage truck was part of the group that was threatening my life . raines : can he corroborate your statement ? hope : i have no idea where he is now . raines : [ scoffs ] well , surprise , surprise . rafe : will you just let her give her statement ? hope : as i was saying , lieutenant . after the chloroform wore off , i tried to attack him , i tried to get away from him , but i could n't . i was too weak , and my wounds had n't healed , and i was bleeding badly . i blacked out . he left me bleeding and unconscious on the side of the road . i never saw him again . raines : how come you look okay now ? hope : because a good samaritan came along and took me in . well , here i am ... alive and well ... just like stefano dimera . rafe : now , call me crazy , but i bet if you went over to the d.a . 's office and told them that story , they 'd probably drop the escape charges . raines : do n't tell me how to do my job . rafe : oh , my god . hope : [ laughs ] rafe : so good to see you . shawn : sorry , rafe . i tried to stop him . andré : i 'd like to have a word with her . rafe : yeah , in your dreams . shawn : look , you grab one arm , i 'll grab the other . come on , let 's get him out of here . hope : no . no . i 'd like to have a word with him too . when it 's time to move to underwear stephanie : i 'll be honest with you , mom . when you and joey left africa and moved back here , i gave up on you and dad . kayla : i did too . stephanie : i mean , even when he moved back , i -- i did n't think it would make any difference . kayla : is that why you did n't want to come for a visit ? stephanie : i did n't want to see the two of you not together . it was just too hard . i mean , we were such a happy family , but we could be that family again . kayla : yes , we can . and your dad and i want that more than anything . stephanie : he must be over the moon , huh ? kayla : yeah , i -- i think he is , actually . stephanie : so you and grandma got something old and something new covered . marlena : yep , so you 're on . kayla : oh , no . you are not in on this . stephanie : of course . kayla : oh , what is it ? oh , stephanie johnson , did you -- did you buy this ? stephanie : i did . you 'll look great in it . as awkward as this is , you ca n't sleep in a t - shirt on your wedding night . kayla : oh , you are too much . i love it and i love you . carrie : hello ! kayla : hi . you made it ! that 's so great . carrie : i told you i would . i would n't miss it . [ gasps ] stephanie : hi . carrie : hey , cuz . i have n't seen you in forever . stephanie : i know . carrie : you look stunning . stephanie : you do too . carrie : nice to see you . marlena . marlena : hello , my darling . carrie : so happy to be here ! we 're so happy to be part of this day . marlena : and i guess you got my text , so you -- you -- carrie : yes , i did . i got it . something borrowed . kayla : oh , man . carrie : i bought these in prague . i hope they look all right with your wedding dress . kayla : i love them , and i really love them because they are from you . thank you . i will wear those with pride . listen , i have one request , all right ? no rice , all right ? it 's bad for the birds , come on . carrie : oh , when we were in prague , i heard the czechoslovakians like to throw frozen peas after someone gets married . kayla : peas ? no , thank you . no way ! no peas ! no peas , come on . i love this . i love you guys . marlena : okay , well , it 's that time . time to get to the ceremony , if you 're ready . kayla : i am so ready . steve : i know we both agreed that hope can never find out what we did , but -- shane : no . no one can find out . steve : not even our wives ? shane : especially not our wives . steve , listen , we 've been over this before . now , i 'm never gon na tell kimberly , but this is your wedding day , and in a moment of weakness , in the heat of the moment during your wedding night , you might spill the whole story . steve : that 's what i 'm afraid of . listen , we both knew what we were getting into when we came up with this plan . but to perpetuate this lie -- i mean , it kind of damns us a little , do n't you think ? and i 'm okay with that because we did it for hope , but do we have to keep lying to our wives ? joey : hey . steve : joe ! look at you , dude . you are looking sharp ! come here . joey : hey , you 're gon na wrinkle my tie . steve : well , i do n't care . i believe you know my best man . shane : yeah , good to see you again , joey . listen , i hear you moved into some new digs . joey : yeah , i moved in with my friends . steve : how 's that working out ? joey : it 's going well . it 's good to be hanging with them , going to school , doing things a guy my age would normally do , you know . steve : yeah . how 's jade doing ? joey : uh , she seems okay . i mean , she 's liking her classes , seems to be getting along in the apartment , and she 's really grateful for you and mom , for taking care of her portion of the rent . steve : yeah , well , maybe her parents will step up soon , huh ? joey : yeah , she 's not holding her breath . steve : well , i 'm really proud of you , son . joey : dad . steve : no , i am . the way you 've been taking care of business -- amazing . joey : hey , i 'm proud of you too . steve : okay , that 's enough of that . joey : i heard what you guys did for aunt hope . sounds like you guys are big heroes -- maybe they 'll throw a parade for you . steve : not gon na be any parades . how 'bout you call your mom and find out what 's keeping her ? i want to get this party started . joey : all right . steve : i want to get married . joey : [ laughs ] andré : i 'd like to have a word with hope privately . shawn : look , too bad . ciara : shawn , come on . this is complicated enough as it is . mom , we 're gon na be outside okay ? hope : okay . i presume that you 're here because you heard the good news that your father 's alive ? well , it seems that he 's fooled all of us . andré : could n't care less about my father and his stupid games . you and i had a deal after you , rafe , and roman framed me . i agreed i would n't go public with their being part of it 'cause you were going to prison . but now that you 're out , the deal 's off . hope : what are you gon na do ? andré : the three of you were so happy to send me to prison for months . perhaps lieutenant ... raines , is it ? hmm . perhaps he 'd like to hear about that . or , you know , maybe i should tell your cousin jennifer , now that she owns `` the spectator . `` she 'd love that story . and you know , newspapers these days are having such a hard time of it . hope : i got a story too . you want to hear it ? it is about a man who named himself alfonzo clarizo , but he 'd prefer people to call him alfie . and one of those people specifically being a very lovely lady we both know -- hattie adams . alfie romanced her because she worked for a holding company in chicago -- it was a multimillion dollar business . and poor hattie , well , she could n't ' see straight . she was so smitten by him that he was able to get all sorts of classified information out of her that he used to steal a fortune from the company and frame hattie . andré : why are you telling me all of this ? hope : because , andré , i managed to download footage from the security company and , um , that footage showed alfie showing up at the office to pick hattie up to go on a lovely date , and it also showed hattie leaving her desk and alfie sitting right in front of the computer , hacking his way in . oh ! what do you know ? hello , alfie . andré : so what ? hope : so what ? so i traced that money to a swiss bank account that was owned by dimera enterprises and then withdrawn by someone using andré -- you -- your user i d and deposited into your account that very same day . now , the way i see it , you can play this two ways . i can hand all of this evidence over to the fbi , get hattie released from prison , send you back to statesville , or i give the police just enough to get hattie out of prison . rafe : and you agree not to make any accusations against hope . hope : or anyone else . alfie , what 's it going to be ? steve : is that my little sweetness ? stephanie : papa , come here . steve : come here , baby . oh , it 's so good to see you . i 'm so glad you could be here . stephanie : this is such a happy day . steve : yes , it is . stephanie : oh , my god . you look so grown up . joey : had to happen some time , right ? stephanie : look at you . steve : okay . well , little time before the wedding starts . looks like you two want to catch up some . stephanie : oh , yeah , that 's a great idea . let 's go , kid . come here . joey : oh , give me a break . stephanie : is this your coat ? [ laughter ] steve : hey . marlena : oh , here you are . steve : oh , thank you . oh , it 's nice . kayla : oh , my gosh , i need some help in my -- ah ! oh , no ! my zipper ! steve : ah . there she is , finally . marlena : yeah . steve : well , you look beautiful with that coat in front of you . kayla : just give me a second to pull it together . carrie : there we go . steve : okay . i 'll give you a second . kayla : much better . marlena : all right , come on . you and me . let 's go . carrie , give us a hand . [ laughter ] rafe : so what 's it gon na be , andré , hmm ? door number one , or door number two ? andré : i 'll take your bloody deal . rafe : smart . [ laughs ] oh , my god . oh ! well , you were amazing . that story that you told about waking up in a dumpster , though , really ? hope : i 'm fine . i survived . i 'm good . rafe : and you took andré down , too . you 're not a half bad cop , you know that ? hope : well ... you 're not too shabby yourself . you gave me my freedom back . austin : so who is the new man in your life ? please tell me it 's not andré . kate : there is no new man . austin : come on , mom . kate : what ? it 's true . i think i 'm actually better off being alone . austin : you 're kidding . kate : i 'm not kidding . austin : you 've always had a man . kate : [ scoffs ] maybe i should have been more cautious with that . austin : it sounds like you got burned . who is he ? just tell me who he is and i 'll take him out for you . kate : [ laughs ] no . you know , austin , it really does n't matter . i came to the conclusion that we would never have worked out anyway . austin : wow . you really like this one . why do n't you try to bring him around to your way of thinking ? see , you know that i know that you can do anything you want when you put your mind to it . i know you do . i love you too . kayla : you know what ? it is too late . he 's already seen me . steve : and i 'm so glad i did . marlena : well , if caroline were here , she would agree with me . kayla : oh , steve and i are so happy . [ laughs ] and nothing means more than us just being together for the rest of our lives . that 's a lot bigger deal than any superstition or tradition , or anything . steve : that 's right . what is today about anyway ? it 's about having all the people we love around us when we seal the deal . kayla : i could n't have said it better . today 's gon na be a perfect day . rafe : yes , it is , and it 's about to get even more perfect . [ all exclaiming ]	everyone found out that hope 's conviction was overturned . hope investigated hattie 's company so she could help hattie . hope found out she did n't kill stefano . eric was uncomfortable with the news . he told hope he was n't ready to see his family when she told him to go home . he was upset when she tried to convince him to go home . they continued to argue about it until she left . she went to the police station and reunited with her children .

[ scene_break ] alex : would you please tell me what is going on here ? and what is this ridiculous idea that i tried to kill lois to keep her from revealing some plot to kill you ? where did he come up with that stupid idea ? marlena : john gave her sodium pentathlon . and apparently she said something that he thought might incriminate you . alex : you did what ? ! you have jeopardized her whole recovery . john : spare me the medical ethics . you not only drugged marlena , you hypnotized her as part of your treatment . you even admitted it . alex : how dare you even compare that . i was trying to help marlena regain her memory . what you did to that highly susceptible woman is barbaric and inhumane . and what makes matters worse , you did it for your own personal gains . let me tell you something . if anyone is to blame for what has happened to lois , it is john black . he had no right to administer mind - altering drugs to a depressed , violent , and highly suggestible woman against her will . lois banks dies , her death will be on your hands . [ scene_break ] abe : i 'm fine . it was just a 30-minute operation . i could have done it as an outpatient . it 's not like i was having open - heart surgery . lexie : honey , i know what i 'm doing , okay ? listen , your corneas were attached with extremely fine sutures . you ca n't just go bouncing around everywhere . abe : [ chuckles ] you know , i 'm not planning on jumping off of rooftops or rolling out of a moving car . i 'm walking , that 's all . i feel great . lexie : really ? uh - huh . so your eyes do n't feel scratchy ? no blurred vision ? abe : well , yeah , yeah , that 's normal . i know i 'm gon na have blurry vision for two or three months . surgeon said to expect that whether i 'm walking or lying in bed . look , lexie , i just want to help john . i 'm convinced that alex north has a hidden agenda . and what if he is trying to kill marlena ? lexie : okay . okay . i just do n't want you to overdo it . i , uh , feel the same way about alex as you do . i had a run - in with him when he first came to salem . [ scene_break ] lexie : you 're hypnotizing her ! alex : yes , i am . it 's part of her treatment . lexie : dr. north , i have been your champion since day one . i 'm the one who brought you in on this case , but -- alex : and i am sure that marlena is very grateful . are n't you , marlena ? marlena : yes , i am . lexie : okay , i 'm not so sure about this . from my limited background in psychiatry , this seems very wrong . alex : well , as you 've just stated , your background in psychiatry is quite limited . lexie : but i do recognize this particular technique . it was developed during world war ii as an aggressive type of mind - control . alex : yes , you 're right , but with amnesia patients , it can have the opposite effect and actually reopen their minds . i 'm sure you 're well aware of some techniques that have seemingly paradoxical effects . lexie : all the same , as marlena 's primary care physician and as her friend , i think her husband should approve of this particular technique . [ scene_break ] lexie : i know what you 're trying to do to marlena , and i 'm going to tell john . you want her for yourself . alex : you mean the way you want detective thomas e. kramer for yourself ? lexie : i 'm going to do what i feel is right . abe : what kind of run - in ? lexie : oh , over marlena 's treatment . difference of opinion . i - i feel responsible since i 'm the one who tracked alex down in first place . abe : i wish i 'd been there for you . i did n't know any of that was going on . lexie : no , no , no . i ca n't do this . it 's so confusing . it feels right , but -- tek : it is right . i mean , how can it be wrong if it 's what we both want ? i want you so bad , lexie . i want you so bad . lexie : i want you . i want you . [ panting ] [ scene_break ] lexie : [ sighs ] abe : you ca n't blame yourself , lex . you were just trying to do what was best for marlena . lexie : [ sighs ] yeah , i , uh , i had no idea she and alex were married . abe : well , you know , some marriages are n't meant to stand the test of time . ours , on the other hand ... lexie : [ chuckles ] [ smooches ] i love you so much . listen , um , i have some time between rounds , so why do n't i close the blinds ? and you and i can just have a good old time .

[ scene_break ] belle : um , i could n't sleep , so i went up to the roof and shawn was there and we just started talking . shawn d. : then we had icicles hanging off of our ears , so we figured it was time to come in . belle : yeah , but the rooftop door was locked , so we had to come down the fire escape . philip , where 's claire ? philip : [ gasps playfully ] sleeping soundly . we 'll know if she wakes up .. shawn d. : hey , how come you 're still up ? mimi : i could n't sleep either . shawn d. : bunch of insomniacs around here . you know , i can make my grandma caroline 's warm milk and vanilla . mimi : you know what ? i doubt caroline 's recipe is going to help me sleep tonight . belle : what is it , mimi ? is your mom okay ? mimi : my mom 's fine . do n't worry about her . shawn d. : then what is it ? mimi : i have something to say that affects all of us . the timing sucks , i know . we 've all been leaning on each other to get through a really rough time ...

[ scene_break ] marlena : i do recall part of my professional training , john , and i completely concur with alex . i think you 're the one responsible for what happened to lois . john : marlena ... you really need to try to listen to what i 'm about to say . i gave lois that serum because it was the only way i could find out what alex was up to . alex : some of us are doctors , john , others attempt to be james bond . tek : hey , shut your mouth . i was affiliated with the isa and john black 's the best . he 's an experienced agent . he 's fully trained in the proper administration of psychoactive drugs . alex : there was nothing proper about any of this . oh , you may very well be the ultimate 007 , but that does not give you the right to administer drugs to a fragile woman without her knowledge or consent . john : look who 's talking . alex : let me ask you something , john . do you know anything about the history of psychiatry ? john : no . alex : no , you do n't , but i do . i 'm a trained psychiatrist , and i can tell you for a fact what you did to that poor woman was enough to cause her to want to commit suicide . john : cool . pulling out all the cards . well , i know for a fact that you did this to lois . you were here , you had motive -- marlena : no , he did not . john : the hospital was in lockdown . you were here the whole time , and he lied to you about where he was 'cause he needed an alibi . it was you who did this to lois .

[ scene_break ] billie : look , what 's done is done . now all we can do is find a way to fix it , if that 's what you really want . nick : of course it 's what i want , but how do you make somebody stop hating you when they have every right in the world ? billie : okay , you 're doing it again . nick : it 's true . billie : we make mistakes . you made a mistake , and god knows chelsea has made a hell of a lot of mistakes . so listen , just give her a chance to cool down . then talk to her . make her understand . it 's not the end of the world , okay ? nick : no , the end of the world is when she finds out that you and i slept together . billie : hey . that will never happen . nick : well , that 's what i thought about dr. shane patton . i thought chelsea would never find out if i did n't tell her , but that 's not how things worked out , did it ? billie : so what are you saying , nick ? nick : i 'm saying that secrets have a way of coming out , so i would n't be so sure we 're gon na take this one to our graves . [ scene_break ] chelsea : i do n't understand . what do you think i had to gain by working with patrick ? bo : your goal has always been the same as his -- to come between me and hope permanently , so you gave him information . chelsea : i did n't give him anything . i do n't even trust him . bo : oh , that 's why you did exactly what he wanted the night john was shot ? the night he kidnaped hope at gunpoint ? chelsea : he told me to give you a message saying i saw him and hope leaving town together in a car . bo : but you did n't see him , did you ? chelsea : no , i did n't . and i thought it was suspicious , which is why i called you right away . bo : come on . there 's more to it than that . chelsea : no , there 's not ! and i never thought it was a part of some murder plot . if i had , i never would have helped him . i did n't help him . i ... bo : you know , you can just stop with the innocent act . we all know what you 're capable of . chelsea : i am not that person anymore . i have changed . i know better than to come between you and hope . i know you guys belong together . hope : is that what you thought the night you talked to patrick ? chelsea : then i thought that maybe you two were going away together and maybe there was a chance that dad would go back to mom . bo : there you go . chelsea : dad , it 's still not what you think . i will admit that patrick called me and he said that if i helped him , i would benefit from it . he said that he was gon na make hope leave town for good and that you would be free , but i did n't know that `` for good `` meant he was gon na kill her and the baby . dad , you have to believe me . that is the truth . please tell me that you believe that . please .

[ scene_break ] billie : look , you 've got enough to deal with as it is . chelsea will never know about this . nick : okay , chelsea will never find out , hopefully , because if she does , we 're both dead . billie : as far as i can tell , you 've still got a pulse , so you 're not dead yet . so we have to focus on the positives . nick : what positives ? billie : well , nick , you 're smart and attractive and funny and ... and you 've got a lot to offer a girl , and there 's one thing you have n't thought about . chelsea likes you -- a lot more than she 's willing to let on . nick : did she say that ? billie : not in so many words . but if she did n't , she would n't be so devastated by what you did . nick : so what you 're saying is that i should be glad that chelsea hates me ? billie : what i 'm saying is that passion works in all kinds of different ways . listen to me . if she did n't care about you , she would n't be so devastated by what you did . nick : do you mind if i ask you a question ? billie : um , no . what ? nick : why is it so important to you for me to stay in your daughter 's life ? i would just think that , uh , after what we did , you would n't want me anywhere near her .

[ gavel bangs ] thank you , dr. johnson . that will be all . chelsea : max , just go easy on philip , all right ? max : why the hell should i ? philip is a heartless bastard who will do anything to anyone to get what he wants . stephanie : max , stop it . max : i , uh , ca n't speak the truth now ? stephanie : i 'd prefer if you did n't bad - mouth philip in my presence . max : fine . there 's no point in me telling you what a piece of scum your new boyfriend is . anyway ... deep down , you already know . melanie : what , are you gon na rob me , philip ? you take my project , you take my job , and now you 're just gon na take all my money ? philip : e.j . did not give you an advance this size by listening to one of your empty promises . melanie : i do n't know , philip . i 'm pretty good at getting guys to give me things . philip : you talked to him about the alternative - fuels project , did n't you ? melanie : did i ? what a minute . that 's impossible because you stopped me , remember ? philip : and yet ... i do n't know how you did it , but -- melanie : [ laughs ] philip : how did you do it ? melanie : [ laughing ] i 'm sorry . you 're just so funny when you 're totally clueless . nicole : you 're not making any sense . brady : baker implied that there was more to it than just helping you get mia 's baby , something he did n't want to do that you forced him to do . nicole : what ? and you believed him ? brady : says you got everybody fooled , nicole , including me . nicole : well , he 's a lying bastard . brady : well , you sure fooled e.j . , though , did n't you ? nicole : brady , will you listen to yourself ? baker wanted $ 10,000 so badly , he was willing to put me in jail and himself unless i gave it to him . he is addicted to gambling . he would do anything to get through the day . brady : then why would you even want to get close to a guy like that ? nicole : because i needed help . i wanted a baby i could love , and you would n't help me . brady , please . just think about it . who 's gon na tell you the truth , a gambling addict who sells babies or someone -- or someone you know and care about ? bo : thanks for doing this , kay . you went above and beyond . roman : yeah , kay , thanks so much . abe : feel better . kayla : okay , thanks . bo : we 'll see you . steve : bye - bye , everybody . roman : bye , sis . hey . i think kayla 's testimony helped . bo : oh , well , this whole thing is a fiasco . should n't even be having this hearing . stephanie : maybe you should try saying what you really feel sometimes , max . i 'm gon na go check on my mom . i 'll see you later . chelsea : yeah , i 'll call you . max : do n't even say it . chelsea : max , i 'm not -- max : i do n't want to hear it , okay ? i already know what i did . i was a jerk , and i shot my mouth off . i do n't need it pointed out to me , and i do n't need a scolding . thank you . chelsea : i was n't gon na scold you . i was just making an observation . max : well , i do n't want to hear that , either . chelsea : okay , fine . max : 'cause i can already guess what your observation is . you think i 'm still hung up on stephanie and that 's why i get so upset about her and philip . well , you know what ? you 're wrong . chelsea : am i ? max : yeah , i only care about her as a friend . chelsea : mm - hmm . max : what , you do n't believe me ? chelsea : no , max , i do n't . not at all . philip : if you 're as smart as you think you are , you 'll stop right now . melanie : makes you mad , does n't it ? when somebody laughs at you . of course , i guess that makes sense when you think you know everything and have all the power . [ laughs ] i 'm sorry . philip : oh , you 're definitely gon na be sorry . melanie : will i ? i mean , you do n't know i did anything . you have no proof . and since you ca n't figure out how i did whatever it is you think i did ... philip : it 's all yours . melanie : [ chuckles ] i 'm sorry , but i am never too proud to pick up money . philip : get the hell out of here . get out of here . melanie : oh , sure thing , boss . whatever you say . you 're the one in control . you know , philip , does n't have to be this way . brady : nicole , look , i 'm always gon na believe you over someone like baker , okay ? you 're very special to me . and i hope that we will always be friends . nicole : me too . brady : but if there 's something you 're not telling me , whatever it is , you do n't have to shut me out because you do n't think i 'm going to approve of it . nicole : i would n't -- i would n't do that , brady . just trust me on this , okay ? look , i care about you , too . that 's why it 's killing me that you 're so suspicious . i mean , my god , brady , if you turn on me , too -- brady : nicole , hey , hey . not turning on you . i 'm just worried about you . that 's all . nicole : well , do n't be . just be my friend , okay ?

nicole : i will . you too . dr. baker : hello ? nicole : what the hell are you doing talking to brady black ? are you out of your mind ? dr. baker : listen to me -- he tracked me down , and i 'm lucky to be in one piece . since he 's obviously all yours , why do n't you tell him to back off , will you ? nicole : what do you mean all mine ? dr. baker : i 'm really surprised at you . you confided so much about your beloved e.j . why did n't you tell me about this other guy you 're sleeping with ? nicole : i 'm not sleeping with brady . what are you talking about ? we 're just friends . dr. baker : well , you obviously confided a lot of sensitive information to your friend . nicole : so ? what 's it to you ? dr. baker : i 'm just curious . i mean , when were you gon na tell him that you switched mia 's baby with samantha brady 's ? nicole : never . but why would you even bring that up ? dr. baker : look , i just thought since you two were so close . nicole : we are not that close . we 're just friends . i told you . dr. baker : if he were n't so crazy in love with you , he would have given up on you a long time ago . nicole : okay , this is idiotic . i am not discussing this with you , okay ? i will call you tomorrow . roman : uh , listen , i think we 'll give you guys some time here . abe : yeah , we 'll , uh ... talk later . bo : what happened in there ? max : do n't do that . do n't tell me how i 'm supposed to feel . chelsea : what , i 'm not allowed to have an opinion now ? max : no , not about my feelings . i ne -- i do n't tell you how to feel . chelsea : yeah , well , i 'm sure you would if you actually cared how i felt . max : okay , what is that supposed to mean ? chelsea : it means that you 're in your own little world , max . i mean , you 're either constantly on the defense about your poor misunderstood little sister or you 're upset at stephanie , the girl you broke up with -- mind you -- because she likes philip and not you . it 's really , really boring . max : oh , okay , so i 'm boring you now . chelsea : when you constantly talk about melanie , stephanie , and philip , yes , it 's like , `` okay , max is gon na obsess about the three of them now and i 'm gon na cease to exist . `` max : wow , that 's really paranoid , chelse . chelsea : you think i 'm imagining that you 're so consumed with the stephanie and philip dynamic or whatever we 're calling it these days , fine . then sit here and honestly tell me that you do n't even care if the girl 's fallen for the guy . max : no , what i do care about is all these questions and accusations . i feel like i 'm on trial here . and the way you 're looking at me right now , i - i - i -- chelsea : fine . max , i 'm gon na make this supereasy for you . i wo n't look at you at all . how 's that ? max : wait , chelse . chelse , chelse , chelse . okay . i 'm sorry , all right ? i - i do get upset about stephanie and philip , but it 's because they always blame everything on my sister . it has nothing to do with me pining over stephanie or whatever you 're thinking . chelsea : but you do consider her a friend . max : yeah . chelsea : just like you 're my friend , right ? same thing ? max : yeah , but it 's -- that 's not exactly the same thing , okay ? because you two are completely different people . chelsea : but it 's a friendship . that 's all . max : with who ? chelsea : with me , max . max : yeah . i mean -- i mean , i do n't know . unless -- why ? why are you -- chelsea : why ? why what ? max : why are you asking me this ? i mean , do you want , like -- chelsea : no , not at all . max : okay . chelsea : yes , i do . i just -- max : just what ? i mean , you want to be more than friends ? is that what you 're saying ? chelsea : max , i should n't have to spell this out for you . you should just know . max : [ chuckles ] i have no idea what you 're talking about . chelsea : you really want to know ? fine , okay ? yes , i do . i 'm a normal person with normal needs . why would n't i want something more ? melanie : i guess what i mean is ... philip : this better be good , melanie . melanie : okay , see , you know -- you think you know that e.j . and i have this thing , this business deal going on . i 'm speaking theoretically . philip : cut to the chase . melanie : philip ... there 's something you can do that will solve everything , put you back on the saddle . titan will be king of the hill . you just have to make a gesture of good faith . philip : meaning ? melanie : i think you know what i mean . so what will it be ? nicole : why are things getting more and more complicated , sydney ? all i want is to love you and love your daddy , and now brady 's come in the middle of things and i - i -- i mean , he 's nice and he 's sweet , but -- [ door opens ] e.j . : oh . i did n't realize you were up here . it 's a little early for going to bed , is n't it ?

[ scene_break ] sami : you ca n't seriously be comparing your situation with nick and my relationship with ej . gabi : well , why not ? sami : well , first of all , ej and i have been married . we have children together . we are engaged . gabi : i 'm talking about the things you 've done to each other , and i 've heard plenty of stories . sami : well , that was all a very long time ago . gabi : i mean , you hated each other . and even after you got married , you did some things that were totally out there . you lied to him about being sydney 's father . he kidnapped her . i mean -- sami : okay , i admit -- gabi : and those are all things i just heard . imagine if i just kind of went around and asked ? sami : hey , you 're being super bitchy with me , and i 'm not sure why , and it is starting to make me mad . but if we put that aside , it still does n't explain why -- gabi : okay , so what ? nick did some awful things because he loved me and he could n't think straight . but it still does n't compare to what ej and you did to each other . [ scene_break ] ej : i 'm sorry . nick : hmm . ej : what is that ... that scar you have there ? nick : oh . ej : is that from a lobotomy ? 'cause you do n't seem to be thinking very clearly , mr. fallon . nick : [ laughs ] that 's really funny . did you come up with that ? that 's very funny , but , um ... i know , okay ? i saw the look on your face when i walked into the church at arianna 's christening , and it kind of looked like you had seen a ghost . ej : your interpretation 's a little skewed . see , i saw right through your rather cheap theatrical entrance . nick : hmm . well , if you saw through me , then you know that i was sincere when i said that i had moved on with my life and that i 'd -- that i 'd changed . ej : why do n't we just , uh , cut to the chase , shall we ? what exactly is it that you want ? nick : okay . truth time . well , first thing 's first . um , i 'm not wearing a wire . so , if you do n't believe me , you can just not say anything . you can just -- you can listen . ej : make it short . nick : the reason that i decided to admit that i -- that i knew what had happened that night was ... well , sami and kate -- they just -- they would n't let it go . you know what i mean ? and i thought that the best way to deal with the fallout was to basically just go to all the other people , the accomplices , you know , who -- who knew that sami and kate had -- had tried to murder me and basically just take them aside separately to talk , just so everything 's out on the table and you all know where i stand . ej : i do n't really care where you stand ... nick : really ? ej : as long as it 's out of my sight . nick : oh , i think you care plenty because what i know counts and what happened to me counts . ej : not to me . nick : really ? is that why you sent those men to scour the woods to clean up any traces of my blood and dna , because it kind of makes it seem like you were worried about it . do you know what i 'm talking about -- the area that sami and kate dragged me through before they threw me in the river ? [ scene_break ] sami : okay , yes , ej and i have a long , complicated history that was not all hearts and flowers . but that is completely different from your situation with nick . gabi : how ? sami : well , for one thing , you have a baby with my son will , not nick . gabi : nick is not trying to interfere with will 's custody . sami : i can not believe that you are going after ej and me to defend a man who just weeks ago was terrifying you . gabi : you 've never been terrified of ej ? [ scene_break ] theresa : what ? you 're not going to say anything ? daniel : oh , my god . you knew all along . you remembered everything from the minute ... you woke up . theresa : duh . like i 'm some halfwit who ca n't remember who i was getting high with ? daniel : yeah , all your , uh , concern , all your little visits about being worried -- theresa : what can i say ? i like to play games . it 's fun to see how many times you can fool somebody . daniel : oh , is it really ? you like that ? well , guess what . i do n't like being played . theresa : stuff the attitude , doc . you 've been lying to people for months , just like i have . daniel : all right . secret 's out . jj called me when you od 'd . i shot over there to save your ass . are we finished ? theresa : [ sighs ] why do n't you have a seat ? we 're just getting started .

[ scene_break ] sami : [ scoffs ] okay , gabi , where is this coming from ? i mean , for the record , i am not terrified of ej or any man . gabi : well , i mean , the way i hear it , you know , he put you through hell for a long time . and do n't get me wrong . i - i like ej . i think he 's a great guy , and obviously he 's changed , but because you gave him a chance . sami : is that what you 're thinking ? you 're thinking about giving nick a chance because you think he 's changed ? gabi : i never said that . all i 'm saying is that he 's trying . sami : no . that 's not what he 's saying . he 's bragging to anyone who will listen that he has completed the transformation , that he is a saint , that he is all love and kindness . gabi : you know , y - you were terrified of ej . you hated ej , and here you are , again , engaged to be married to him . sami , people change . you know that . sami : hello ? what ? no , you -- you have to -- you really need me to finish this ?

[ scene_break ] kayla : the man of the hour . now , did n't i tell you that everything was gon na work out ? did n't i tell you that ? jj : you told me . kayla : mm - hmm . and , um , i do n't want you to forget what else i said -- that moms just want their kids to be safe and happy . and that they 'll always forgive your mistakes . [ doorbell rings ] jennifer : that 's right . ooh , and you know how much i love you , honey , but one day you 're gon na have children , and you 're gon na understand that when you love them , that means you want to keep an eye on them and make sure that they do n't ... [ scene_break ] daniel : theresa ... we do n't have a relationship . i 'm not attracted to you for a number of reasons -- one of which being your little visit here today . so you 're deluding yourself -- theresa : i thought i told you to drop the condescending attitude , so do it ... and man up . this is something that 's going to happen . daniel : the hell it is . theresa : maybe you want to think about that a little more . today is your d - day . you make the wrong decision , it could cost you your license . now , i 'm no lawyer , but my guess is all the lies that you and jj told about the night of my od could wind up causing his probation to be revoked . and then it 's off to prison . and jenny has one more thing to blame you for while she 's crying her eyes out . is that what you want ? daniel : so what ? this is your plan ? we hook up ? you come over here for sex ? theresa : doctor , you 're definitely hot . your body , all that money you make -- what more could a girl want , right ? but i 'm not talking about a one - time thing . we 're gon na date -- lots and lots of dates .

[ chuckles ] so apparently , uh , what -- you know me ? theresa : yeah . i 'd say you 're an easy read . daniel : would you say that ? well , then you should know that i 'd never do anything like that , because it would hurt jennifer too much . theresa : oh , my god . are you still in love with that mousey little bitch ? daniel : wow . oops . this is n't about me or any kind of relationship , 'cause this is about hurting jennifer , punishing jennifer . and for what ? what , because she fired you , or is it because she saved you from going to prison by giving you a second chance ? which one is it ? think about that . get the hell out of here . theresa : you think you 're in control ? you think i 'm just making empty threats ? because i 've got hard evidence that i can show you or anyone else . your career and jj 's freedom are on the line , daniel . daniel : any chance i can see this hard evidence you got ? theresa : look at you -- totally baked . jj : after two hits ? come on . theresa : do n't stop now , baby .

someone who might know his travel plans ? adrienne : if he does , i do n't know that person 's name . lucas : listen , i 'm sure there 's a very good explanation for why you have n't heard from him . adrienne : oh , i 'm sure there is . and i think i know what it is . sonny : this is what you 've been working on night and day ? a movie about a bunch of old people stuck in a hotel in croatia ? will : what ? no , it 's my boss 's brilliant idea at increasing advertising revenue . it 's a pop - up ad that keeps the reader from viewing the article for 30 seconds . sonny : oh , that 's kind of annoying . will : yeah , zoe says that it lets the advertiser keep track of who 's viewing the ad , but yes , it 's annoying . ah , here 's the article . oh . sonny : hey , dad . justin : hey . you 're smiling . that 's a good sign . sonny : i 'm gon na be okay . justin : thank god . both : ohh . paul : look , sonny and i were together a long time ago . there 's no way that he 'd care about me being with somebody else . if you 're telling me that to get some kind of rise out of me -- derrick : i told you because i feel so bad , all right ? if i 'd kept my mouth shut , sonny would n't have run out of the club , he would n't have been right off the town square and he would n't have gotten stabbed . paul : you do n't know that . derrick : well , there 's another reason i feel guilty . i 've -- i did n't tell you all this right away because i was hoping i had a shot with you myself . i know , not gon na happen , but you 've been really decent to me , and well , i started thinking that if you still care about sonny , you deserve to know the truth . paul : what truth ? derrick : sonny was here twice , and both times , i could tell it was more than just dropping in on an old friend . paul : it was ? derrick : i think you could make it work again with sonny . i mean , if that 's what you want . aiden : what -- why do you keep trying to run away from me ? oh , my god . you 're scared of me now , are n't you ? are n't you ? hope : i do n't know what to feel . i do n't know what to feel . i thought i knew you . i fell in love with you , aiden . how could i be in love with a man who murdered his son 's mother ? clyde : i 've already said everything i 've got to say to you , victor . victor : well , now it 's my turn . clyde : okay . i 'm listening . victor : i have taken steps to make sure that my men do n't give you or any of your men any trouble when it comes to your trucking business . clyde : [ chuckles ] and why should i believe a word that comes out of your mouth ?

victor : that 's it . clyde : so i 'm supposed to believe that the great victor kiriakis is just gon na roll over and play dead ? you must take me for some kind of fool . kate : you know , i have things to do as well . why did n't you just tell will that you were too busy to babysit ? marlena : he had brought ari to the hospital to see sonny , and then i volunteered to bring her home to the sitter so they could have some private time . kate : oh , i see . marlena : and he promised me the sitter would be here on time . kate : well , did you call her ? did you check messages ? marlena : well , she 's not that late yet . kate : okay , i 'll do it . marlena : okay , fine . kate : by the way , how did sonny and will seem to you ? marlena : well , sonny had a good night , he seemed stronger , so of course will was very relieved . kate : hmm . no , i - i mean how were they acting towards each other ? marlena : what are you getting at ? i know that will and sonny have had some problems , but i thought -- hey . is there something going on between sonny and will that i should know about ? kate : no , there does n't seem to be a message from her . i wonder where she is . marlena : you did n't seem to answer my question . will : grandma , i slept with paul . paul : [ sighs ] that ball was the one and only ball that i ever hit out of the park for my one and only major league home run . sonny : and you 're giving it to me ? paul : i am . merry christmas , sonny . sonny : i love it . and i love you . derrick : i think you could make it work again with sonny , i mean , if that 's what you want . paul : damn it . that is what i want . justin : i 'm sorry it took me so long to get back here . sonny : why is n't mom with you ?

who did this to you ? what are the police doing about it ? what 's going on ? sonny : this is great . justin : what is ? sonny : having a dad again . all i had to do to make it happen was get stabbed in the back . lucas : here you go . you know what , i think you should talk to justin before you jump to any conclusions , okay ? adrienne : we both know i already jumped to that conclusion before this happened to sonny . lucas : listen , i 'm sure there are a lot of reasons why he was delayed . adrienne : okay , ' cause -- i appreciate you trying to convince me that there 's nothing going on and that everything 's fine between justin and me , but you know what ? i do n't even want to think about that right now . sonny 's what 's important . thank god he 's okay , you know ? when i got that phone call , i -- lucas : i know , i know . i saw the look on your face . adrienne : well , you know what that 's like . lucas : yeah , i do . adrienne : sonny 's lucky . he 's gon na be fine , and the last thing he needs to do is worry that there 's a problem between his dad and me . lucas : exactly . exactly , so why do n't we just go see him right now , okay ?

[ intense music ] belle : i -- i would never hit you . i 'm sorry . claire : yeah . belle : but what you 're saying , claire , is horrible and it 's wrong . i would never take money from philip . claire : okay , then , how do you have so much money all of a sudden ? [ solemn music ] belle : your aunt sami gave it to me . claire : aunt sami gave you money ? aunt sami has that kind of mo -- oh , my god . that 's the money that sami stole from the dimeras , is n't it ? belle : how do you know about that ? claire : i heard you and grandma talking about it . aunt sami got some passwords from ej or something and took off with all of stefano 's money . belle : so eavesdropping is your new hobby . claire : and grandma does n't know that you have the money , does she ? belle : i do n't -- i do n't have the money . i do n't -- do n't have that money . your aunt sami gave me a loan from her own money to help me start my business . claire : oh , okay , so it was enough to start your business , buy diamonds and sports cars , and take me on a trip ? bull , mom . this is dangerous . belle : okay , claire , it 's just a big misunderstanding . claire : no , and if the dimeras find out that you have their money , they 'll kill you , right , that 's what they do . belle : claire , listen to me . i do n't have the dimera money . claire : i do n't even recognize you anymore . when did you become such a good liar ? you 've got a lot of people looking for you . chase : well , they should n't be , i 'm fine . okay , but you need to come with me . ciara : chase . where have you been ? chase : what do you care ? ciara : look , i was mad when i said that , and scared . i did n't mean any of it . look , just come back home . everyone 's worried about you . mom sent out the troops . chase : yeah , we met . ciara : please come back . chase : is that what you want ?

well , he was dead serious . andré : yeah , i 'm quite sure he was and i 'm sure he was playing his part to the hilt . they really think they 're going to get away with this ? chad : who 's they ? andré : the murderous harpy and her lovelorn poodle . chad : come again ? andré : hope brady and hernandez . this is all their doing . ca n't you see this is what they 're turning around back on me ? chad : is it true ? did you kill our father ? roman : rafe ... let me ask you this . why do you think andré killed stefano ? rafe : it 's the only thing that makes sense . we all heard that the dimeras hit some sort of a cash crunch , right ? that they were laying people off , not paying people , stuff like that ? so i figured i 'd get in touch with john , see if he knew anything . roman : and ? rafe : and sure enough , all of stefano 's bank accounts ? drained . roman : that 's got to be one dead hacker . rafe : uh - uh . the call came from inside the mansion . roman : really ? rafe : yeah . i tracked it . the computer that transferred funds out came from inside the mansion , roman . inside . roman : so stefano emptied the accounts and he 's playing dead ? rafe : or someone else did . someone else took the money . roman : andré . rafe : stefano finds out , he goes ballistic , andré kills him , frames hope for it . roman : man . rafe , that 's a stretch . rafe : okay . but why did andré break into her house ? why did he vandalize it , set a fire , bug it ? why did he take bo 's gun ? why did he do that ? roman : but why hope ? hope : why not ? why not me ? it makes perfect sense . the dimeras have been after the bradys for years . roman : yeah , but there was more stefano . hope : but like rafe just said , those calls came from inside of the house , right ? rafe : yep . hope : so maybe ... maybe it was andré . commissioner , they 're bringing in the perps on the westside arson . roman : all right , thanks . okay , i 've got to go . i 'll be back . rafe : all right . oh , my god . hope : he 's asking a lot of questions . rafe : well , yeah , of course he 's asking questions . he 's a good cop . hope : do you think he bought it ? rafe : i do n't know . shawn : blood on the statue matches stefano 's type and rflp . you want me to run a full dna ? roman : maybe , but for now , keep those samples in a safe place . you got it . roman : all right . claire : thank god you 're here . shawn : wait , what 's wrong ? claire : uh , mom 's in trouble . shawn : how ? claire : okay , first you have to promise me that you can keep a secret . shawn : oh , claire , tell me -- claire : no , promise . shawn : fine , i promise . okay , what 's the problem ? claire : um , mom got some money from aunt sami ... like , a lot of money . and i think that it was stolen from the dimeras . [ dramatic music ] steve : sit down . come on . [ sighs ] and i think that it was stolen from the dimeras . [ dramatic music ] steve : sit down . come on . [ sighs ] yeah , you 're right . something did happen in this room . after ava locked you up , she proposed a ... a trade . kayla : a trade ? steve : she wanted me to have sex with her in exchange for letting you go . kayla : oh , my god . steve : i know . kayla : my god , she 's completely insane . steve : yeah . kayla : i mean , she 's not even original . i mean , that 's exactly what she tried before and it did n't work . why did she think that it would work now ? steve : i do n't know , but she went for it . kayla : right here . in this room ? steve : yeah . kayla : i knew -- i just had this feeling here , i just -- steve : yeah , but it did n't go anywhere . it did n't go all the way , obviously . joe walked in on us ... he drew his own conclusions . but there 's more . i think joe thinks that he fell in love with ava . kayla : what ? if she laid one hand on him , i swear i would rip her limb from limb . steve : no , i do n't think she crossed the line . i think she went right up to it and maybe pulled him over . and now he 's upset about that , too . kayla : there is no limit to what that woman will do . steve : i think , um , joe will be fine . he just needs some time . kayla : you know , frankly , i 'm ... i 'm kind of relieved . steve : what do you mean ? kayla : i , um , i knew something had happened and i -- i mean , this is bad , but it 's not as bad as i feared . andré : that question is beneath even you . chad : like you 're not capable ? i 've seen your wikipedia page , brother . i know that you could . andré : oh , it 's jujitsu . ca n't you see what they 're doing ? they 're taking all the evidence that i 've collected , everything that points to the truth , that makes them the guilty parties , and now they 're turning it back on me . i did n't see this coming . this is an incredible plot . chad : a plot ? hope brady is plotting against you ? andré : well , obviously you 've not read her wikipedia page . chad : 'cause i ca n't see two detectives offing stefano and then -- and then what ? planting the evidence against you ? no , my money 's on the guy who brainwashed me . andré : oh , you 're never going to let that go . chad : no . andré : okay . okay , that 's fine . right , then if i do that , because i wanted to help the family , why would i then turn around and kill my father ? chad : maybe he had turned on you first . andré : but there was no reason to . chad : yeah , maybe he found out you tried to get those pass codes from sami to use right , then if i do that , because i wanted to help the family , why would i then turn around and kill my father ? chad : maybe he had turned on you first . andré : but there was no reason to . chad : yeah , maybe he found out you tried to get those pass codes from sami to use for yourself . andré : but that 's not what happened . do n't you see , chad ? this is a set - up . they 're trying to pin this crime on me . chad : so , i -- i believe two respected detectives or the guy who tried to ruin my life ? yeah , that 's a conundrum . andré : okay . and do n't worry about me . but if you allow yourself to get sucked in by hope and rafe 's lies , that means that our father wo n't get justice . he was murdered by hope and we can not let her get away with it . rafe : the same evidence can cut either way . either andré looks guilty , or you do . hope : that 's why it works . we knew it was going to be a risk . a risk i wanted to take .

[ dramatic music ] paul : i could n't stop them . i ... they were trying to drag sonny away , and he was fighting back , and -- and when i got there , they -- they hit me . damn ! adrienne : why would they do something like that ? paul : i 'm ... i 'm not ... adrienne : you know what ? it does n't matter . i 'm gon na call the police . roman will know -- ah , damn it . it 's this war . if i get the police involved , it could make it worse for sonny . what , you think i did n't know ? paul : how much ? adrienne : deimos kidnapped chad and gabi . this war is over some stupid piece of high - tech equipment worth a lot of money . is there more ? paul : that 's more or less what i know too . adrienne : except now they 've kidnapped sonny . damn it . paul : it has to be in retaliation . either the hernandezes or the dimeras , they want to use sonny to trade back for one of their own . my god , everything just keeps getting worse . what the hell can we do ? adrienne : i 'm not sure . let me call justin . he may know what to do . [ line rings ] [ cell phone ringing ] justin : my apologies , your honor . i , uh , should have turned off my phone when i entered the building . duncan : yes , you should have . all right , this hearing is now in session . ms. brady , would you explain to your colleague the changes that have occurred ? belle : yes , your honor . justin , of course you 've had investigators working on this case , and so have we . last night , our team discovered that there had been private communication between judge pearce and deimos kiriakis . when judge pearce was confronted with this evidence , he agreed that it was inappropriate and recused himself . nicole : it 's the first i heard of it . chloe : oh , come on . duncan : silence , both of you . there will be order in these chambers . is it possible to stop daily abe : [ sighs ] my god . lose a child ... valerie : hmm . abe : val ? you okay ? valerie : what ? oh , i 'm sorry . excuse me . i just -- i just need to -- brady : we need to talk about this orwell . deimos : no , not now , brady . i need to concentrate on nicole . this whole `` change of venue `` thing does n't smell right . brady : why , do you think belle 's trying to pull a fast one or something ? deimos : how the hell should i know ? which is why i need to get down there . brady : hold on , deimos . i do n't think you 're worried about belle pulling a fast one . i think you 're worried about the fast one that you 've already pulled that is n't working . you want to tell me what 's going on ? adrienne : justin 's usually really good about getting back to me . i do n't know -- oh , god , he 's in court . nicole 's hearing . paul : then we ca n't wait for him . adrienne : no , no , we ca n't . let me get you to a hospital . easy , easy , easy . i 'll see deimos myself . paul : no way . look , sonny needs our help . i 'm fine . adrienne : no . paul : we can go see deimos together -- now . adrienne : okay , go . come on . come on . come on . come on . here . duncan : i need this clearly understood . just because we 're meeting in chambers does not mean that courtroom rules do not apply . trust me , they do . and i will enforce them . understood ? belle : absolutely , your honor . justin : understood , your honor . and may i just say that we will be investigating this charge of inappropriate communication . belle : justin , i saved you the trouble . in fact , here is a list of all the calls from judge pearce -- made to him and received by him . and this is a copy of his signed statement . justin : thank you . but i want it on record that i knew nothing about this , your honor , nor did my client . and i trust that this incident will not prejudice you against her ? duncan : i 'll accept that you nor your client knew anything about it . but it is a part of the record now , mr. kiriakis . ms. brady , you 'll go first . why should miss lane be awarded custody of this child ? belle : thank you , your honor . fact : nicole walker and her fiancé daniel jonas signed a document giving chloe lane blanket permission to be implanted with one of their embryos at any time . the first attempt failed . and then , sadly , dr . jonas was then killed in a tragic car accident , after which miss lane attempted a second pregnancy , and this one was successful . chloe : i did n't know it at first . belle : but when she did realize that she was carrying their baby , she also discovered that miss walker was in a very serious relationship with an extremely dangerous man named deimos kiriakis . justin : your honor , objection . miss lane has shown no evidence proving that this man is dangerous in any way . belle : your honor , deimos kiriakis crippled a woman in order to extract money from her husband , his brother . i can add more instances of his behavior if you 'd like . duncan : overruled . let her finish . belle : your honor , nicole walker has biology on her side , yes . but that 's it . knowing full well what deimos kiriakis is capable of , she continues to plan a marriage to him , which would put baby holly in an environment that could threaten her welfare , possibly her existence . nicole : oh , that is not true ! belle : but of course that 's not the only reason that we would want to prove that miss walker is unfit to raise baby holly . justin : your honor , if i may -- duncan : no , you may not . i told you , let her finish . ms. brady ? belle : your honor , nicole walker in the past has been involved in pornographic films . in fact , she was quite the star . nicole : you are making it sound like -- you know -- belle : our list of felonies includes shooting her father , attempted murder of her ex - husband , multiple attempts to pass off someone else 's child as her own -- including pretending to be pregnant and then stealing samantha brady 's baby as she tried to pawn that off as her own -- and then , of course , there was the stunt involving my client and a flesh - eating bacteria . i think you see where i 'm going with this , your honor . justin : your honor , these so - called facts are irrelevant . i could stand here and list chloe lane 's felonies and shortcomings , but it would take me all day to do so . the only relevant fact is that nicole walker is this child 's biological mother . duncan : you 'll get your chance , counselor . sit down . and this is the last time i 'm going to tell you this . belle : since the past seems to be so painful , why do n't we just focus on the present ? as i mentioned earlier , nicole walker is engaged to deimos kiriakis , who engaged in illegal contact with a sitting judge , trying to ensure the outcome of this case . your honor , she is deeply influenced by this man , knowing full well that he 's a danger to society . how influenced is she by him ? well , just recently , in order to protect her violent fiancé , miss walker stabbed and nearly killed a man . nicole : he was an assassin . belle : most people do n't have assassins coming after them . your honor , if baby holly were to be raised by nicole walker , her life would be in danger , and her formative years would be spent in the worst possible environment . i think the choice is really clear here . thank you . [ dramatic music ] oscar mayer deli fresh ham has no added nitrates , hope : valerie seemed a little , uh ... a little strange . abe : she seemed all right at the wedding . hope : oh , my gosh . i just realized , she and david ... abe : years ago , of course . of course . hope : david was valerie 's first love . rafe : wow . abe : look , i feel awful . i , um ... i 'm gon na go find her , okay ? hope : okay . rafe : hmm . brady : deimos , i swear to god , if you did anything that 's gon na jeopardize nicole 's chances of getting her baby back , we are gon na have a serious -- deimos : brady , i simply took out an insurance policy . brady : insurance policy . what the hell does that mean , hmm ? deimos : judge pearce and i , we -- we have an understanding . brady : you bribed the judge , did n't you ? you bribed the judge . are you kidding ? do you realize what 's gon na happen if that comes out ? deimos : it 's not gon na come out . brady : it could come out ! you know who 's gon na suffer ? nicole ! that 's what 's gon na happen . deimos : what was i supposed to do , just sit back and trust in the system ? you look me in the eye right now and you tell me that you would n't have done the same thing in my shoes . brady : i would not have done the same . i would not have risked everything on some lousy bribery attempt . deimos : okay , you know what ? brady : no way . deimos : it 's done . duncan : mr. kiriakis , you 're up . justin : thank you , your honor . i will try and be brief , mainly because there 's really only one argument here . `` does the biological mother deserve to be granted custody of her daughter ? `` now , the case law is clear , nationwide . i could fill this chamber with precedents . your honor , the fact that we 're even here is actually quite sad , because nicole and chloe are -- or were -- best friends . in fact , even though daniel and nicole knew that chloe was once a prostitute , they still wanted her to be the surrogate . why ? because they believed that we all could rise above our past mistakes and become better people , just like nicole has become a better person . but unfortunately , that belief was misplaced . a true friend would have told nicole immediately that she was the mother of this child . but instead miss lane engaged in a series of lies and deceptions in order to defraud nicole of her maternal rights . and even though nicole risked her life driving chloe to a hospital in the middle of a blizzard and helped her with holly 's birth -- during which chloe only survived because of her friend nicole -- chloe was still silent . chloe : i had a stroke . justin : yes , you did . and so we can assume that after you recovered from this stroke , you told nicole about her child ? nicole : i deserved to know , chloe . i saved your life . why are you trying to take my baby away ? duncan : counselors , please caution your clients . justin : yes , your honor . my point is simple : nicole walker is the biological mother . nicole walker deserves this child . your honor , since factors other than biology have been introduced into these proceedings , i would like to say at this time that chloe lane does have a history of postpartum depression . belle : objection , your honor . postpartum depression is a temporary medical condition . if we took a baby away from every mother who had postpartum depression -- duncan : overruled . ms. brady , we 're here to hear all the relevant facts regarding this case . now , you had your chance . it 's now your opponent 's . chloe : please , your honor , i did n't get postpartum depression this time . it was a one - time thing . i did n't get it with holly . duncan : is there anything else , mr. kiriakis ? justin : no , your honor . duncan : okay . if there 's nothing further , i 'm going to step out for a bit . nicole : your honor ? there 's something i need to say .

[ laughter ] doug : your father was such a good man . golly , i 've known bill for -- dear god , it 's been 50 years . julie : the murder app is completely useless now . so you can give her back her phone , because she is n't going to be using it where she 's going . jj : do n't even think about it . abigail : can someone please explain what the hell is going on ? jj : when gabi found out that julie needed a replacement pacemaker , she went back to her little dimera minion and told him to rig the new one . so she 'd still have control over julie 's heart . julie : but we foiled your plan . abigail : jj , how 'd you know this tech guy ? jj : i ran into him at the hospital this morning . and i thought he looked familiar . he told me that he worked for a company that made medical devices . but then i just got a nagging feeling that i had known him from someplace else , and it hit me when the guy walked away . chad : so how 'd you know him ? jj : well , i had seen his mugshot back when i was on the force . his name is chris choi , and he has a record a mile long . and i realized that gabi must have sent him , so i confronted him . and of course he denied the whole thing . but then i suggested we have julie 's doctor take a look at the new pacemaker , make sure everything 's working right , and he took a run for it . called security , made sure julie got a new device . and chris is cooling his heels at the police station as we speak . gabi : you were in on this too ? rafe : no , i wasn't . jj : no , i did n't want to put rafe in the position of having to expose his own sister as an attempted murderer . julie : oh , but she 's been a successful murderer . remember she shot nick . gabi : oh , my god . will you just let that go ? stop ? abe : jj , go on . jj : i had an old cop buddy of mine take chris in , see if we could get him to roll over on gabi . he didn't . got a lawyer , did n't give us anything . so we had to come up with a new way to get a confession out of her . eli : we ? lani : when jj called me with the good news , i had theo send gabi a text message . abe : theo ? theo was in on this ? lani : we needed someone tech - savvy and trustworthy . so when the time was right , theo sent gabi a message saying that the new device was active . which made her think that she had succeeded and would let her guard down . jj : when i picked julie up for the wedding , i told her everything , and we both agreed that the only way we were going to get the proof we needed to nail gabi was to stage the scene . julie : so when i got over the shock , i was all in . and i apologize to everybody if i upset you . but the plan worked . gabi fell for it hook , line , and sinker . gabi : damn you . damn you . and damn you ! if anything i have been way too nice to all of you ! i do n't even know what i was thinking ! lani : gabi 's sick little game actually turned out to be a good thing . see , you ran down the pacemaker years faster than normal . now julie is free , we all are . jack : you -- you 've known him for 50 years ? doug : 50 years . yes , sir . i knew bill before jennifer rose was born . oh , the stories i could tell . jennifer : would you ? would you tell me some stories about my dad that i never knew before ? doug : you 've come to the right guy . eli : what the hell is wrong with you ? gabi : i 'm so sorry . eli : no , you 're not . was this all about stealing me from lani ? i mean from the -- from the first moment that you told me that you loved me , was -- was it all about revenge ? gabi : no . no , no . okay , that 's how it started . but i -- i fell in love with you , eli . i did . i wanted to stop . i wanted -- i wanted to stop all of this . but i was just afraid what you would do if you found out the truth . eli : and earlier , when i begged you to put down the phone and save my grandmother 's life , what 'd you do ? you cranked up the app to kill her . was that out of love ? gabi : no , i 'm sorry . i was just -- i was desperate . i did n't want to lose you . eli : well , you just did . lani : you did n't just lose eli . you are about to lose everything . in one week ... gabi : i thought you were my friend . jj : i thought you were mine . gabi : i was . this is how you thank me for saving your life ? julie : [ scoffs ] and to think i was grateful to you for saving my life . i praised you to the skies endlessly saying what an angel you were because you gave me stefan 's heart . my god . i was ready to -- to welcome you into my family , to marry you to my precious grandson because i really believed you 'd changed . well , you are still the mendacious little bitch you always were . gabi : just shut up , please . just shut up for once in your life . julie : not a chance . because now i would like to praise the real angel who 's here . lani ! lani , thank you . thank you from the bottom of my still ticking heart . i 'm sorry for all those dreadful things i had to say about you earlier . i just had to convince everybody . lani : of course . i know . julie : and i apologize for the way i 've treated you over the last year and all the things i thought about you over the last year . lani : julie , it 's okay . okay , you have nothing to apologize for . you did n't know . okay ? julie : well , i do know now . what a sacrifice . what a sacrifice you made . you gave up the man you love to keep me alive . i 'm grateful to you , darling , for the rest of my life . jack : jennifer told me that brent douglas was your real name . doug : brent . brent was a -- he was a con man from way back . jack : uh - huh . doug : but bill horton was the exact opposite of a hardened criminal . jennifer : what do you mean ? doug : prison 's a rough place , deary . those other inmates could be merciless . and from time to time bill could find himself in a little bit of trouble . doug : hey , what the -- knock it off . unless you want some of the same , get lost , friend . doug : keep away from him , bill . he likes blood . yeah , your blood , friend . you 're gon na get it first . your life or mine . what 's the difference ? watch it . there 's a guard coming . fight ! fight ! [ whistle blows ] doug : you had to have eyes in the back of your head . jennifer : or somebody looking out for you . if you were n't so brave , i might not even exist . doug : i may have saved bill that day . but in the big picture , he was the one who saved me . jack : what do you mean ? doug : i did not come to salem with the best of intentions , shall we say . i heard , in prison from bill , that susan martin was coming into a very large inheritance , which i immediately set my sights on .

you know , when i was talking about how your patients valued you and needed you , the truth is , without you , i would n't be able to go on . you are the one person that -- that helps me when i 'm unhappy or insecure . you lift my spirits , mom . not like you do n't help , too , dad . john : it 's okay , sweetheart . i know how close you and your mom are . i 'm not threatened by the wonderful relationship the two of you have . marlena : and we do . i am so grateful for that . little belle ... you have the biggest heart , and i 'm so proud of you . you are my pride and joy . do you know that ?

but for him to just be so desperate to point the finger at someone , and he does n't even care what i think , or ... how it 's going to make me feel that he says such horrible things about you . the fact that he thinks that the most wonderful mother in this world is capable of being a serial killer -- that 's the most insane thing that i have ever heard .	jennifer is relieved to find that patrick was not seriously injured . belle threatens to end her relationship with shawn if he pursues the theory that marlena is the serial killer . marlena takes offense at shawn 's theory and faints . later , marlena , john , and belle confront shawn about his theory . hope defends herself against the man who grabbed her only to find that it is bo . brady wants to get the police involved in victor 's death .

[ smooches ] theo : no ! abe : theo , um -- theo : daddy , stay . mommy , too . stephanie : there you are . chelsea : hey . uh , have you been waiting long ? stephanie : no , no . i do n't have a lot of time , though , so what did you have to tell me that you could n't tell me over the phone ? chelsea : um , okay . well , i - i thought that you should know that , um , max and i -- i kissed him . well , actually , he kissed me . i mean , t - technically we kissed each other . it does n't even matter . um , but it happened on new year 's , and -- and i do n't think that it meant anything , but this time ... i think it did mean something , stephanie , and i just wanted you to hear it from me first . e.j . : you come into my house in a half - assed attempt to intimidate me , but i 'm the one who 's delusional ? philip : if you so much as sniff in the direction of the fuels project , research , et cetera , et cetera , et cetera , i will -- e.j . : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . rude of me . remarkable , though , really . philip : what -- what 's remarkable ? e.j . : you . you really do think you can scare me , do n't you ? philip : if you want to wage a war you ca n't win ... bring it on . e.j . : i will break out the flak jackets . tony : well , maybe i should break out the bloody straitjackets . seriously , are you both out of your minds ? lucas : no fairy - tale ending for me . right , chloe ? i was n't good enough for you , was i ? oh , i gave you everything . i gave you my heart . i was a better man when i was with you , chloe . but now ... not so much . not so much . thank you . thank you very much . pete : you 're welcome . just be careful , okay ? lucas : i will . i 'll be careful . kind words from a kind man . but i am of the belief that there is a power greater than myself to help me restore my sanity . melanie : are you saying the guy 's like a.a. ? maggie : he -- he is , yes -- was . melanie : i 'm -- i 'm really sorry , mrs. horton . maggie : [ sighs ] well , it 's not your fault , and i do n't know where my keys are . melanie : well , i -- had i known he was a drunk , i would -- maggie : hey ! do not speak like that . he is a recovering alcoholic . melanie : okay . i 'm sorry . i just -- i - i would have called you or taken the drink out of his hand and thrown it in his face or something . maggie : well , that would have gone over well . ha ha ha . under my nose . melanie : uh , just out of curiosity , do you know why he fell off the wagon ? maggie : oh , i have a very good idea , and , as his aunt and his sponsor , it 's my job to track him down and get him back on . lock up . [ door closes ] melanie : okay . chloe , there 's nothing wrong with you . you simply fell in love -- that 's all . chloe : but i already was in love . did it ever occur to you that if your relationship with lucas was truly satisfying , you never would have had to connect with another man ? chloe : i suppose you 're right . you know , when i think back on the path i 've taken , for the life of me , i can not remember the moment i decided and chose to become a priest , because , really , it was n't a choice . it simply happened . it was inevitable . now , i - i suppose my devotion to the lord is analogous to finding a soul mate -- someone you want to share your life with . chloe : and you know it 's right -- that that person is your destiny . i believe that 's what happened between you and daniel , and i do n't think you have to fight it . in fact , i do n't see how you can . daniel : there 's nothing wrong . i - i just -- kate : what ? i -- daniel : when -- when i said i wanted to talk to you , i meant -- i meant the two of us . um , we -- i -- it was just -- this came for you a few minutes ago , doctor . daniel : [ exhales deeply ] uh , thank you . thank you . sorry . i just -- wow . instant perspective . kate : `` instant -- `` what is it ? daniel : it 's your test results . you 're in remission . kate : [ chuckling ] oh , my gosh . oh , my gosh . oh , my g -- oh ! e.j . : let 's not start ranting and raving before we know what 's going on . tony : i know enough . you two are trying to pit our families against each other -- obviously . how the hell is that supposed to have a happy outcome ? e.j . : well , now , listen . i 'm not sure we were trying to reach a happy outcome . anyway , that does n't really matter , because , aside from the shouting , this whole situation 's over . see , unlike philip , i 'm able to separate my personal from my professional life , meaning that victory is already mine . philip : [ scoffs ] e.j . : what ? is something funny ? philip : yeah , you ... and your unbelievable arrogance . e.j . : no . i 'm really just stating a fact . i mean , it was you and your disdain for miss layton , which i 'm sure is just some way of covering your attraction to her , that clouded your judgment and caused you to lose this fuels patent . philip : do you think i 'm stupid ? you 've been sniffing around melanie ever since we made that deal . and as soon as you found out that deal was made , you were there . e.j . : philip , you do n't make any sense when you 're angry . philip : you 're a smug son of a bitch . you know that ? i will run you out of town . e.j . : when this clears ... you 're going to understand that it was the way you treated -- or i should say `` mistreated `` -- miss layton that caused this . you insulted her . and then you fired her . and now you expect her to do business with you . that is arrogant . philip : you think you 're so damn clever , but you have no idea what you 're getting yourself into . e.j . : yeah . i 'm quaking in my boots . philip : this is n't over . e.j . : for right now , it is . it 's time for you to leave . thank you . good day . tony : my , my , my . you have a lot to learn , little brother . kate : [ inhales , exhales deeply ] i 'm telling you , a serious illness crystallizes everything , does n't it ? daniel : it does . kate : at least for me , it does . oh , my god . it just -- it makes it very clear , you know , what is important and what is n't important , and then i -- i know there are n't any guarantees . i know i 'm going to be living from scan to scan . daniel : no , no . you can not think that way . you ca n't . you 've got to be full of hope right now . kate : i am . i am . i have -- i have so much hope -- i do . in -- in spite of this new reality , i - i can really accept the fact that the only thing that is certain in my life is that the future is uncertain . daniel : kate -- kate -- kate : however -- however , i told myself that if i -- if i got a second chance , i would -- i would embrace life so fully and i would cherish those people i love and -- [ inhales , exhales deeply ] and i would express that life and that love fully . daniel : you should . do exactly -- chloe : so , you 're saying that i should follow my heart ? chloe , i told you what i think , but i 'm the first to concede that i 'm a fallible human being , just like the rest of us . i try to give wise advice , but i would n't presume to tell you what would make you happy , because i honestly do n't know . maybe only god knows , right ? i think he probably has a good idea . chloe : well , now what ? i 'm sure god has better things to do than worry about my screwed - up love life . he always has time for you , chloe . chloe : i guess you 'd have to believe that -- that god can answer our prayers . you do n't believe it ? chloe : i want to ... especially now . then why do n't you put him to the test ? it 's worth it , is n't it ? lucas : hey - o ! man , how you been ? it 's been a long time . hey , lucas . how 's it going ? lucas : oh , it 's going good . it 's going real good . you know , a birth and then school and then work and death -- you know , the usual . you good ? lucas : yeah , i 'm good . you good ? i 've never been better . you know what i want ? i want a vodka , and i want to make it a double and just do it straight up . do n't put anything else in , okay ? i thought you were on the wagon . lucas : yeah ? i thought you were a bartender , not a social worker . why do n't you make the drinks , and i 'll drink them . that 'll be our little deal , okay ? oh , there you go . that 's a good pour right there . nice . thanks . a man among boys . i owe you a big tip . hey ! hey ! hey ! maggie : hey ! hey ! what the hell do you think you 're doing ? abe : great news , huh , champ ? your head is all better . theo : all better . abe : [ chuckles ] i 'll take him to his o.t . appointment , get him settled in . lexie : no , that 's okay . you 've already taken off half the afternoon . abe : it 's okay . it 's a quiet day at the office . they 'll survive without me . lucas : well , so can theo . abe : lex -- lexie : no , i - i mean it . i mean , i know he says he wants both of us here , but , well , do we have to always give him what he wants ? if he never learns how to deal with frustration , then ... abe : lex , what are you talking about ? he 's making progress . lexie : yeah . kind of like his mom . abe : lexie , please , come on . lexie : every time i think i 've taken a step forward , something happens and i 'm just back to where i started . [ sighs ] i feel like i 'm -- i 'm failing him somehow . abe : because he does n't run into your arms when he first sees you ? because he does n't say , `` i love you `` ... he does n't cry out for mommy in the middle of the night ? he may never do that , lex . he shows his love in different ways . lexie : yeah . i know . abe : lexie ... you are a great mom . they do n't come any better . lexie : [ chuckling ] stop it . abe : [ chuckles ] and i 'm so proud of how you 're dedicated to your family ... to your son . stephanie : look , chelsea ... max and i are done . chelsea : i - i know that , but ... stephanie : but what ? chelsea : do you not remember telling me that you would have a serious problem with it if max and i got back together ? stephanie : i said that ? chelsea : well , i mean , not in those exact words , but yeah . stephanie : that 's embarrassing . chelsea : why ? stephanie : because it sounds creepy and possessive . chelsea : well , it did n't sound that way to me . stephanie : i guess it was because it just all seemed really soon . but now , i mean ... i 'm happy for you two . chelsea : well , thank you , but , i mean , to be honest , there 's not really anything to be happy about just yet . i mean , we 're still taking things really slow . stephanie : right . it 's cool . chelsea : so , um , how are things going with you and philip ? stephanie : oh , um , they 're not going at all . chelsea : oh . are you okay with that ? stephanie : uh , well , philip does n't know what he wants . or maybe he does , but whatever it is , it 's not a serious , committed relationship . and i feel like if i give him a second chance , he 's just gon na turn his back on me and chase after melanie again . chelsea : yeah , but there 's nothing romantic going on between the two of them , right ? stephanie : he says there is n't . chelsea : and you do n't believe him ? stephanie : how can i ? he says one thing and then does another . look , i 'm not gon na be that girl in the middle . i 'm through with that . what ? chelsea : honestly , i just do n't want you to give up on him yet , 'cause i know that he really , really likes you . stephanie : and that 's why he 's chasing after melanie layton ? chelsea : come on . you know that 's just business stuff with the fuel project or whatever . stephanie : i do n't care what it is . i mean , i 'm not gon na take a backseat to melanie . i have more self - respect than that . chelsea : okay . then lay down the law , you know ? give philip an ultimatum . do n't let him chase after melanie . throw down the gauntlet . melanie : hi . philip : melanie . melanie : this is surprising . philip : well , you know me . i 'm full of them . melanie : why are you here , philip ? you gon na read me the riot act again ? maybe some more yelling this time . philip : no more yelling . melanie : no ? then what ? philip : just this . kate : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . i think -- i think i was just so relieved . daniel : no , no , no , no . i - i understand . i -- kate : [ chuckling ] no . daniel : it 's just -- kate : actually , i do n't think i am sorry . i do n't think i am . i think , um , i think this had to do with what i was gon na talk to you about , and i expressed it this way instead of with words , and i think that was more fun . daniel : yeah . look , kate -- kate , the way we left things before -- kate : i know . i know . i know i wanted to give you your freedom , and the reason was that i wanted to focus on my health and -- and my family , but , um , i think the truth is i was afraid , and [ exhales deeply ] i did n't think i was gon na make it . so after everything that you had been through with your wife , i - i just did n't want to put you through that . i daniel : no , no , no . it 's -- that 's not it . i - i , uh -- kate : then -- then what ? [ sniffles ] daniel : you , um ... you can -- this can wait . kate : [ chuckling ] this can wait ? daniel : this can wait . yeah . just go . go . you know , you should tell your kids . go tell your kids the good news . go . kate : you 're right . [ sniffles ] you 're right . i 'm going to . chloe : well , i 'm a little rusty with this whole prayer thing . i have n't exactly been to church in a while . so can i rehearse on you ? sure . go for it . chloe : okay . thanks . [ exhales deeply ] god ... i love two men ... one of them in one way , because he gives me this sense of security and has made me a part of his family , and he 's just so good to me and so devoted . and the other one -- well , we just -- we have this incredible connection . and i just feel like he gets me . and the physical part -- well -- well , never mind . we do n't need to get into that . anyway , what should i do , god ? please ... help me . which man should i be with ? how was that ? well , that -- that was just fine . chloe : okay . well , now that i 've prayed for an answer , what do i do ? wait for god to text me or leave me a voice mail ? [ chuckles ] he 'll find a way to get back to you . chloe : okay . maggie : vodka ? hmm . lucas : mm - hmm . maggie : how could you do this , lucas , after six years of sobriety ? lucas : i do n't know there , mags . you tell me . i 'm sure you can figure it out for yourself . maggie : that bitch . she 's certainly done it this time . lucas : you mean chloe ? my chloe ? my -- my wife not to be ? [ chuckles ] not to be . i am funny . i am a funny guy . maggie : no , you 're not funny , lucas . you 're drunk . and you 're about as far from funny as it gets . lucas : what did she do , maggie ? maggie : what ? lucas : my ex -- my ex - fiancée , s'il vous plaît ! s'il vous plaît ! what did she do ? maggie : oh , she did something . lucas : i know . i - i could tell -- i could tell you know something . why do n't you tell me what she did ? maggie : i wo n't lie to you , lucas . lucas : please do n't . tell me the truth this time . if you know something , tell me ! i can handle it ! maggie : chloe ... is having an affair . e.j . : tony , i 'm sure you want to have a conversation with me about my professional shortcomings , but it 's just gon na have to wait . i 've got a lot on my mind . tony : you do n't have enough on your mind . you make all these grand decisions , and you do n't even take a moment to understand what the repercussions might be . e.j . : i did all of this -- everything -- for the company . tony : i 'm sorry ? perhaps i missed the newsletter . is this your company now ? e.j . : it 's certainly not yours . tony : you insolent , little bastard . e.j . : all right . okay . enough . tony : you may be stefano 's latest yes - man , but i will not have you dismiss my contributions to dimera enterprises ! do you hear me ? i have worked tirelessly to put this company where it is -- on top ! and what the hell have you done ? e.j . : i do n't have time for this , tony . tony : make time ! e.j . : you come in here . you throw a temper tantrum . you overreact over nothing . tony : nothing ? e.j . : nothing . tony : you 're about to set up war with the kiriakis family . you regard that as nothing ? e.j . : there is not going to be any war . tony : you think philip is just gon na lie down now and concede ? e.j . : i do n't care what that idiot does -- i do n't care ! i won the fuels contract ! and instead of giving me some credit for that , you waltz in here and you pass judgment . worse , in fact . you undermined me in front of philip . tony : oh , for pity 's sake ! e.j . : i know that you resent me , and i get that , and i 'm sorry . but i do n't think father would be very happy if he came in here and saw you acting in this juvenile , petty way . do you ? tony : i think if father found out what you were up to ... he 'd fry your arrogant ass . melanie : you 're right . the only way i could have any sort of relationship with philip is to track down that sweet , little angel and give her notice . chelsea : do what you got to do . just , um , do n't get thrown in jail . stephanie : yeah , i 'll try to keep it legal . confrontation awaits . got to go . chelsea : it 's funny -- i seem to remember myself in a very similar situation to this one . it ended with me at the brady pub with my knee in melanie 's back . stephanie : i so wish i had been there . chelsea : yeah , anyway ... stephanie : we 'll talk later ? chelsea : absolutely . stephanie : fine . hey , wait . um ... i just wanted to tell you -- uh , i meant what i said earlier . i 'm really happy for you and max . chelsea : thank you . it means a lot . stephanie : wish me luck with melanie . chelsea : you 're not gon na need it , because i happen to know that there 's only one woman that philip loves , and that 's you . stephanie : all right . melanie : oh . okay . um , hold on one second , casanova . philip : is something wrong ? melanie : no . i , um , i 'm just a little shocked -- that 's all . philip : why do i find that hard to believe ? melanie : dig deep , philip . um , i do n't understand . philip : it 's not astrophysics , honey . melanie : why are you doing this ? philip : because i want to . melanie : a couple weeks ago , you hated my guts . now you have feelings for me ? philip : well , that pretty much sums it up . i did n't want to . i fought it like crazy . but over these past few days ... these feelings -- i just -- i ca n't get rid of them . and now i can not stop thinking about you . melanie : interesting . philip : you and i are a lot alike -- you know that ? -- in so many ways . you 've known that from the beginning , and now i do , too . melanie : is that good -- to be alike ? philip : it feels good to me . [ smooching ] melanie : philip ... philip : i want you , melanie . chelsea : there 's my guy ! theo : chelsea ! chelsea : hi ! i heard that you were coming in today , and i got so excited . abe : we were just gon na take theo up to his o.t . session . chelsea : oh , well , i 'm on my way up there right now , so how about i just take him with me ? theo : family . chelsea : that 's right . that 's your family . that 's your mommy and your daddy , and you 're very lucky to have them both . e.j . : relax . tony : i 'll certainly relax while you twirl your guns like some corporate cowboy . e.j . : well , let 's not forget that , uh ... i am the chosen son . he trusts my judgment . if he did n't , he would n't have put me in this position . tony : i see . so you assume that he will keep trusting your judgment , even though you 'll screw up royally , even when he learns that you 're about to go to war with the kiriakises , consequences be damned . e.j . : yes , i do assume that . i have complete confidence in my course of action , as does father , because he has complete confidence in me . you forget , tony ... that i am the , uh , golden child . tony : [ scoffs ] [ chuckling ] `` golden child . `` you 're a damn fool , e.j . and you are playing with fire . philip : [ exhales deeply ] maybe we 're moving too fast . melanie : are you having second thoughts ? philip : no . no , not at all . i was just wondering if you were . melanie : me ? no . philip : these past few days ... i 've been picturing you so angry with me . you 're very hot when you 're angry . you know that , do n't you ? [ both chuckle ] melanie : you like 'em feisty , huh ? philip : i like you . i mean it , melanie . the other day , i just had this epiphany ... when i realized that i 've wanted you since the first day that i met you . you believe me , do n't you ? melanie : i want to . i mean , i - i wanted this since the moment i saw you . daniel : well , now that she 's in remission ... it 's time . it 's time for chloe and me to break the news -- to her and to lucas . lucas : chloe 's having an affair ? maggie : yes . lucas : you mean like having sex with someone ? maggie : that 's what having an affair usually means , lucas . lucas : well , i 'm sorry , maggie . i just do n't believe you . what do you think about that ? maggie : well , you will when you 're sober . lucas : oh , really ? fine . i 'll entertain you . who is she having sex with ? who 's she doing ? maggie : lucas , i - i ca n't . lucas : no . please . tell me . you brought it up . come on . do n't be afraid . maggie : daniel . chloe is seeing daniel behind your back -- behind kate 's back . lucas : daniel ? holy ... maggie : lucas , i 'm so sorry . lucas : oh , no , no , maggie . no , i got it . he 's a dead man . i 'm gon na kill that dude . and i 'll be praying for you , chloe . chloe : thank you , father . you 've been so kind . if you ever need someone to talk with ... chloe : i know where to find you . god bless . chloe : [ exhales deeply ] okay . no more rehearsing . this one 's for the money . [ exhales deeply ] god ... i 've never really done this before , so i do n't know if i 'm doing it right . but if you 're there and if you 're listening ... please send me some sort of sign . maggie : lucas , please . listen to me . lucas : i gave her everything , maggie . i gave her everything . what does she do ? she threw it in my face ! maggie : you 're drunk . you 're not in your right mind . lucas : mnh - mnh . i am in my right mind . i 'm in my right mind more than i 've ever been -- more than i 've ever been in my whole life -- in months , maggie . in years ! you got that ? maggie : hand me your phone . lucas : no ! get off me ! you 'll have to whip this phone from my fingers ! [ cellphone ringing ] chloe : oh , dear god . there 's my sign . stephanie : that was n't passion just now . that 's just how a kiriakis does business . nicole : he seems to think that you 're in love with me . e.j . : melanie is going to sign that contract . stefano : how can you be so sure ? e.j . : if she crosses us , there 's no happy ending for her . lucas : i know what 's going on ! come out here and face me !	phillip and ej argue about the fuel project and phillip storms off . tony intercedes and warns ej not to start a war with the kiriakis family . ej assures him that stefano trusts him to make the right decisions for the company , but tony is n't so sure he would approve of this . phillip heads over to maggie 's place and proceeds to seduce melanie . chelsea admits to stephanie that she and max have feelings for each other , and stephanie gives them her blessing . chelsea suggests she give melanie an ultimatum in regards to phillip and stephanie heads over to talk with her . she catches phillip and melanie kissing . lexie worries once again that she is a bad mother and abe reassures her . maggie finds lucas drunk at the bar and tells him about daniel and chloe 's affair . lucas flies into a rage . daniel tells kate that she is in remission and she kisses him . he decides that it 's time for him and chloe to tell kate and lucas the truth . chloe prays to god for a sign as to which man she should choose -- lucas or daniel .

what reason would my son have for shooting colin murphy ? he 's innocent ! shawn - d : stop it ! do n't fight ! okay ? i 'll tell you everything . chloe : nancy ... for all the things i held against you for all these years , i 'm sorry . nancy : oh , honey , nothing you can -- chloe : no , i wanted to say this for a very long time . i mean , i do n't think i 'll ever be able to forgive my grandfather for what he did , but when i think about how much misery i caused myself being so angry for so long ... i ca n't keep looking back at a past that i ca n't change . craig : sweetie ... chloe : i have my family , i have my future -- so many things i nerer thought could happen . nancy : i love you so much . chloe , you know that i did n't mean for you to walk in in the middle of this . chloe : oh , i 'm glad we came . i mean , when i called , i could tell from craig 's voice that something was wrong . nancy : everything 's okay now . chloe : i know . craig : hey ... it 's still valentine 's day ! ghght ?

let 's sit down for a second , okay ? i have to tell you that , um ... i am really , really sorry about what has happened -- all the problems , and what you 're going through with shawn . belle : yeah . it 's -- it 's been pretty hard , but it 's only because i still do n't understand . it 's one thing if someone breaks up with you because they 're in love with someone else , or maybe because you had a really big fight , but that never happened with us . anyway , now atat i know he came to the airport to see me -- wait . why am i so relieved ? i do n't even know if shawn wanted to get back together with me . he could have been feeling guilty and wanted to apologize for hurting me , or -- hope : i doubt that very much . belle : i do n't know . he 's been acting really strange lately . hope : you know , can we just go back a second ? because you just said that you did n't have a fight with shawn and that you were sure that he had n't fallen in love with anyone , so what was the reason that he wanted to split up with you ? i - i 'm sorry . that 's not my place . that is between you and shawn . belle : no , no , it 's fine . i do n't know why shawn would have a problem if i were to confide in you . i mean , you are his mom . you know him better than anyone else . maybe you can figure this out . hope : okay , well , before i even try to do that or try to shed any light on what the problem really is , i think you should know that i thought it was a mutual decision -- that you both had decided to give each other some space . yeah , i think that 's how he had put it . he said that you both decided to cool it for a while . belle : that 's what he told you ? hope : yeah . yeah , he said it was because , uh ... yoren ' n't handling things so well -- all the problems with your family . belle : but that 's not true . i had nothing to do with this . i never wanted space from shawn , no matter what wasoing on with my family or anyone else . that made me want to be closer to him , not pull away . m m -- now i 'm feeling sorry for myself , and you do n't need this . hope : belle , belle ... honey , this is very important to me , okay ? it involves my son and someone i care very much about . belle : but -- hope : it 's okay to feel sorry for yourself . you 're hurt . belle : but shawn is your son , and i 'm sure you do n't want to hear me complain about him . hope : honey , stop . you are not complaining , okay ? you are expressing your sadness . you 're confused . but there 's something else yoyou really need to understand right here , and that is that i love you very much , and i have always been so happy that you and shawn have been together -- so proud of the both of you . so when shawn told me that the two of you were having problems , i -- i 'm sorry . i just , um ... i guess what i 'm really trying to say here is that i want to help if i can , and i will not be defensive about my son . but if he has mistreated you , i want to know about it , and i 'm going to talk to him . belle : no , no , do n't talk to him . that wo n't help . i know it wo n't help . it 's not that shawn is mistreating me . i mean , he has a right to not want to be with me . it 's just , i do n't believe it . i know that he still loves me , but why is he pushing me away ?

[ scene_break ] nicole : what would make you say something like that ? why would you think that eric is the reason for my leaving ? rafe : oh , well , i do n't know . maybe because , last time i was in the church -- and , granted , i may have been a little inebriated -- but , uh ... i walked in on a little tension there . hmm ? nicole : no , no . this is not eric 's fault , okay ? it just -- i think it 'd be best for everyone if i left st. luke 's and left salem . rafe : it 's a little extreme , do n't you think ? nicole : no , because , rafe , look , everywhere i look in this town , there 's a bad memory . i think it would be best just to have a clean break . rafe : well ... [ sighs ] i 'll miss you . nicole : well , you 're one of the very few . [ both laughing ] nicole : oh , my god . rafe : i did n't say anything . it 's just ... if you 'd have told me a year ago that i 'd be sitting here saying that i 'd miss you , i ... [ sighs ] i will . anyway ... nicole : thanks . just do n't let sami hear you say that . rafe : yeah , i do n't think there 's much danger in that . and for the record , everything she said about you and ... everything else , for that matter , is wrong , so ... nicole : i know . i ran into ej , and he told me they were back together . what is that about ? i 'm so sorry . rafe : no , no , no . i 'm not . after everything she did and said to my sister , i do n't give a damn about that woman . nicole : [ laughs ] yeah , we both know that 's not true . rafe : yeah . [ scene_break ] gabi : okay , so you really think the paternity test would be dangerous for the baby ? julie : i want you to be sure it 's safe before you agree to it . gabi : right , right . yeah , yeah , i 'm going to -- i 'm going to talk to cameron first . well , um , nick says that he thinks i might not even have to go through with it . julie : be prepared for a fight on that one . i know sami . sami and i have a few traits of character in common . she 's not going to back down . gabi : it just gets me so mad . will , nick , and i -- we had everything worked out . and it 's like she -- she wants us to be enemies or something . julie : well , you have nick and your brother and a whole lot of hortons here to support you . you just try to concentrate on taking care of yourself and the baby , darling . gabi : i will . i will . okay , i have to get back to work . can i get you something ? julie : no , no , i just came by to see you , and i got to go , and -- gabi : thank you so much . julie : oh , darling . everything 's going to be just fine . gabi : all right , i 'll see you . julie : and i 'm going to make sure it is , sami . [ scene_break ] chloe : i just wanted to clear up any confusion from this afternoon . jennifer : you mean confusion about misleading me purposely ? chloe : it was n't on purpose . jennifer : i think that every move that you have made ... coming back to salem has been on purpose . i think you found great delight in telling me that you were going to move into daniel 's apartment , but it slipped your mind to tell me that he would n't be staying there with you . chloe : wow . i guess i did n't realize just how insecure you really are . [ items clatter ] jennifer : well , i can see you 've been shopping . chloe : oops . clumsy me . jennifer : you know what , chloe ? i 'm not insecure . and i 'm not stupid . i know exactly what you want , and you 're not going to get it .

[ scene_break ] eric : you know , you really do n't have to do this . robber : yeah . how about you take a vow of silence ? eric : i can help you . god can help you . robber : i 'm pretty sure god forsook me a while ago . eric : maybe it was the other way around . robber : either way , i 'm pretty sure he owes me this one - time payout . eric : i think we both know this is not a one - time thing . you have a disease . it 's called an addiction . and the thing that really sucks about this is that these things ... addictions , they get worse and worse and worse if you do n't get any help . robber : you ever hear the one about , um , waiting in silence ? shut up ! quit stalling ... or things really are going to get worse . [ scene_break ] abigail : hey , gabi . uh , have you seen cameron ? i 've been calling him , but it keeps going to his voice mail . gabi : well , he was just here . he probably went back to work . what 's wrong ? abigail : i do n't know . maybe nothing . maybe everything . [ scene_break ] will : wow . i have to say that i am so surprised that you are trying to take over my life . sami : will , i 'm not trying to take over your life . will : so unexpected , so out of character . you know , um , when the baby 's born , do you want to , like , name her ? would you name her ? or do you want to pick out clothes for her ? you want to choose a school for her ? you want to arrange a marriage for her ? sami : okay , just stop . stop exaggerating , all right ? will : listen to me . i 'm saying that i 'm handling this very well , okay ? nick and gabi are going to be a part of my child 's life , and it 's best for her if we all get along . sami : i 'm just trying to look out for you . will : i know . and i 'm trying to look out for my kid , so we 're just going to make sure that this test is safe before we go ahead with it . that 's it . sami : and it is safe . i mean , i would never -- will : okay , that 's not your call , though , because we 're going to talk to a legitimate doctor before we make that decision , okay ? sami : okay . but then go do it . go talk to this doctor , any doctor . they will tell you it 's just a blood test . they take the mother 's blood , and they can get the baby 's dna from it . will : okay , great . thank you for prepping for this debate , but it 's really not your decision to make . julie : will , your mother does n't really understand that concept . sami , dear ... you and i need to have a little talk . [ scene_break ] chloe : what i want ? what are you talking about ? jennifer : i am talking about a very desperate and needy woman who is using desperate measures to get daniel back in her life . chloe : what ? jennifer , why do you keep making these baseless accusations ? jennifer : because you keep doing these underhanded things , and you are so exceedingly transparent , chloe . chloe : wow . `` underhanded `` ? `` transparent `` ? all i 've done is brought daniel his son , the child that he and i conceived when we were deeply in love . jennifer : please , that 's enough , chloe . chloe : i 'm sorry . i know this may be difficult for you to hear . jennifer : no , it 's not difficult for me to hear , because i know exactly what you 're doing . but the one thing you do n't know about yourself is that you do n't catch subtleties , hence my idea to be really direct with you and try to penetrate this delusional fog that you are living in . chloe : wow . you are really starting to sound paranoid . i mean , look , i understand . you 've been going through some difficult times lately . jennifer : you know what , chloe ? i have been . but those difficult times have made me stronger , and not just for myself , but for my children , so i am not paranoid . i am self - protective . chloe : well , i - i see . and i admire that -- your strength and your devotion to your children . jennifer : right , okay , chloe . and you know what ? i admire the mom that you are , because i look at your son , and he is so happy . he is a really well- adjusted child . chloe : yes , he is . jennifer : yeah . but i do n't admire your effort to keep getting this man back in your life that does n't want to have anything to do with you . chloe : i am not doing that . my god , jennifer , you just got through saying that we have to be strong for our children . so why ca n't you grasp the idea that everything i am doing is for my son ? i am simply trying to give my little boy as much time with his father as possible . does n't he deserve that ? does n't any child ? [ scene_break ] eric : i 'm going to pray for you . robber : you know what i think of your prayers ? [ spits ] nicole : eric , i have to tell you -- robber : who the hell are you ? nicole : oh , my god . eric : do n't , do n't ! do not hurt her ! [ scene_break ] gabi : okay , so let me get this straight . in high school , you took a pledge to not have sex until you were married . abigail : yes . gabi : okay . explain to me -- you had to join that club ? could n't you , i do n't know , just not have sex ? abigail : it was a way to just stay strong . gabi : okay , so ... wait . all right , unless things have changed since the last time we spoke , you 're still meeting the eligibility requirements , right ? abigail : yes , gabi . yes , i am still a virgin . gabi : okay , good . abigail : and now cameron knows about it . gabi : well , you could talk to him . you know what ? maybe he thinks it 's actually really cute , and maybe he is going to admire you for it . abigail : yeah , maybe . or maybe he will think i am a complete freak of nature . [ scene_break ] sami : hi , julie . this is n't a very good time for me , actually . julie : well , it 's important , and it wo n't take long . will : i will leave you two alone . sami : will , no , you wo n't , 'cause we 're not done talking . julie : actually , i would prefer that you stay , because this concerns you . sami ... i understand your maternal instinct to protect your son . but in this instance , you really need to back off . sami : i do n't know what you 're talking about . julie : just what you and will were talking about -- a paternity test , totally unnecessary and possibly dangerous . sami : mm , i see . so gabi sent you here . [ scene_break ] daniel : i 'm sorry if i kept you . i , uh ... i just love watching him sleep . maggie : [ chuckles ] yeah , so do i. um , daniel , there 's something i have to tell you . daniel : okay . maggie : well , look , this is really , first of all , a little bit off topic . uh , the demands that chloe made to victor and me about making green changes in the house -- we 're actually doing them . i mean , we 've cleaned the air ducts , and we 're changing our dry cleaners . daniel : oh , well , good . then something positive came out of that after all , huh ? maggie : yes , actually . what i really wanted to talk to you -- or discuss with you is ... i 'm pretty convinced that chloe deliberately pushed victor 's buttons in order to get him to throw her out of this house . i mean , she used his temper to get closer to you . daniel : okay , you know what ? you and jennifer -- you need to trust me , because i love jennifer , and there 's nothing that chloe does will change that -- nothing . maggie : you 're right . we should trust you . daniel : yeah . maggie : so , if you really love jennifer , why are you so angry with her ? daniel : she lied -- maggie : okay , wait . let me finish . daniel : okay . maggie : after everything she 's been through with chloe and nicole -- okay , so she slipped up . and maybe she just had a gut load of chloe 's games , and she made a mistake . daniel : well , it would 've been nice if she apologized , admitted that she was wrong . maggie : she did . did n't you get her message ? [ scene_break ] jennifer : so this is really just about parker . it has nothing to do with wanting daniel back in your life . chloe : i repeat -- i want what 's best for my son . jennifer : right . chloe : you do n't believe me . jennifer : no , i do n't . chloe : jennifer , let me tell you something i learned in high school . jennifer : what , the pythagorean theorem ? chloe : ha , funny . jennifer : hmm . chloe : look , you can be funny and smart , but you 'll get nowhere in life if you do n't have the charisma to back it up . jennifer : oh , i guess i better get me some of that , huh ? chloe : just saying -- some people have it . some people are born with it -- others , not so much . jennifer : okay , well , what were n't you born with , chloe ? what , sensitivity , a kind heart , character ? chloe : you know what ? i 'm done . i 'm not going to stand here and be insulted by you . jennifer : oh , okay , but it 's all right for you to stand here and insult me and tell me that i have no charisma , which is code word for `` dull and boring . `` chloe : i was n't talking about you specifically , jenn . i was just making a general statement . i just think that too many women put too much stock in being sweet and accommodating . jennifer : and you know what i think ? i think that you believe daniel will choose you over me . do n't you ? jennifer : i guess you 're not going to answer me . chloe : seriously ? i thought that was a rhetorical question . jennifer : oh , it 's okay . there 's no need to respond . that grin on your face speaks volumes , chloe . chloe : wow . you really are paranoid . jennifer : no , i 'm not . i just wish that daniel could see you for who you really are . chloe : oh , yeah ? and does he see you for who you really are , jenn ? i mean , i know everyone in salem thinks you 're so sweet and adorable . jennifer : oh , okay , and then you just think i 'm an ice princess because i can see through you ? anyone can see through you . i am not in the minority , chloe . chloe : no , actually , i do n't think you 're an ice princess , whatever the heck that means . i happen to agree with the good people of salem . i think you are ever so sweet and adorable . jennifer : and i think that you are a manipulator . and contrary to what you might think , daniel is getting wise to your ways , chloe . chloe : well , he can wise up till the cows come home , but the fact remains i am the mother of his child . so that bond will keep him from ever pushing me too far away , ever . oh , and one more thing -- you know what ? this is not a war of words . it 's a very different field of battle . and for the record , daniel likes it when i 'm wearing one of these ... or nothing at all . jennifer : you 're a pathetic woman . [ scene_break ] daniel : oh , come on , you 're kidding me . maggie : no . she left you a note at the hospital saying she was sorry . daniel : i never got it . maggie : well , there you go . i did n't think you had . you would n't have just ignored it . that 's why i told jennifer to go and talk to you in person . daniel : in per -- maggie : yeah . daniel : son of a ... maggie : what ? daniel : she -- jenn , she went -- she went to my apartment . maggie : to apologize , yeah . daniel : and chloe was there and told jenn that she moved in . maggie : wow . what a lovely way to get that news . daniel : oh , my god . this is so screwed up . no , 'cause i went to her house to explain to her -- to tell her , to say that i 'm sorry . maggie : and ? daniel : and neither one of us really got to apologize . we just got into this knock - down , drag - out fight . [ cell phone ringing ] daniel : hold on . okay , well , no , this is jenn . this is -- she wants to , uh ... she wants to see me right away . maggie : oh , well , that 's good . daniel : yeah . yes . maggie : oh , and , daniel ... this time , um , try not to screw it up . [ scene_break ] julie : sami , you know i do n't take orders from anyone . sami : right . but , uh , gabi did n't send you here to plead her case ? julie : yes , i 'm here to plead her case . she did not send me . she does n't even know i 'm here . sami : really ? she just told you about the paternity test , and she did n't expect you to do anything about it ? julie , she manipulated you . she 's good at that . will : god , mom , really ? you 're going to sit there and accuse gabi of being manipulative ? sami : will , can you please just -- will : are you going to tell me to butt out ? because i think we 're -- are n't we actually talking about my life here ? julie : exactly right . and i think will and gabi and nick are handling a difficult situation beautifully . i just do n't want to see your mother get in the middle of it and stir things up . will : mm , my mother ? stir things up ? sami : let me ask you something , julie . why are you on nick 's side ? will is your family too . julie : i 'm not on anybody 's side , sami . i 'm trying to stop you from making the situation worse . will : well , good luck with that . sami : so you agree with her , will . will : yep , i do . um , look , i know you always want to do something , mom . but seriously , can you just not ? just do n't do anything this time , please . sami : okay . fine . look , i ca n't make any promises , but i will try to , um , back off . will : well , thank you . julie : i thank you too , sami . really . i think everything is going to be just fine . well , i 've said what i had to say . will , i 'm glad you were here . will : thank you . julie : i 'm very proud of you . will : well , i 'm sorry if i hurt your feelings . sami : oh , you know ... if you dish it out , you got to be prepared to take it . uh , but there are some other things i 'd love to talk to you about . do you want to stay ? i bet you 're hungry . there 's great snacks in the kitchen , and , um , i 'm starved . i was wondering if you could grab me a protein bar while you 're there . will : sure . sami : great . will : great . sami : perfect . will : be right back . sami : okay . yeah , helen , um , i 'm going to be going out for a bit . can you make sure you hold all my calls ? yeah , thanks .

[ both chuckle ] um , see , maggie also shared something else with me . jennifer : that 's -- you do n't use the word `` share `` a lot . daniel : look , i know . i 'm just trying to be sensitive . jennifer : no , i know . for me ? daniel : yeah . okay , look , maggie -- maggie , um , she shared with me that you , uh , left a message at the hospital for me , and then you figured out that i did n't get it , which is -- which is why you went to my apartment . and then that 's where you , you know , you ran into chloe . and , you know , you 're right . i guess i should have talked to you about her moving in before , and -- but listen , i tried to . i was going to , and then you were going to apologize , and then i was actually going to apologize too , but then i just -- i got so screwed up , because ... just -- you know , you and -- and abigail -- just -- i was so mad at you guys , because , you know , you 're ... you 're , uh -- you 're right . uh ...

[ baby cries echoing ] oh , thank god . my precious rachel . mommy 's here . mommy -- [ gasps ] brady : what ? what is it ? what 's wrong ? kristen : i had the most horrible dream . our baby needed me , and i could n't find her . i could n't find her . brady : hey . it 's okay . it 's okay . sarah : [ gasps ] xander : sarah , what is it ? sarah : oh , my god . oh , i had the most horrible dream . i think that mackenzie died ? xander : it was n't real . it was just a nightmare . mackenzie 's fine . i just heard her cooing in her sleep . i promise you , she 's perfectly safe , and so are you . will : well , i mean , i 'm not expecting any visitors . sonny . sonny : i 'm sorry about your grandfather . will : oh . oh , yeah . thanks . but that ca n't be why you 're here . why -- what 's going on ? [ thudding ] [ both gasping ] ben : it 's the police . they found me . [ thudding ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] [ thudding ] ciara : okay , okay . okay . you , get out the window , and i will stall them alright ? chad : ciara ! open the door . ben : it 's chad . it 's chad . we 're okay . ciara : okay . chad : what the hell are you doing ? surprise , surprise . what were you doing ? ciara : we were asleep . chad : you -- i thought i made myself clear . alright , i told you i wanted you gone by today . yeah ? ben : yeah . chad : i 'm gon na leave . i 'm gon na come back here in one hour . if you are not gone , ben , i am gon na call the police . got it ? ciara : yeah . ben : we got it . victor : for god 's sakes , maggie , i had a stroke . i 'm not some invalid that needs a wheelchair . maggie : i just wanted to get you home safely . and when you 're up to it and you can manage with a cane , well , you can swing it at anyone who annoys you . victor : thank you , maggie , for getting me out of that dreary hospital room . maggie : i missed you , my darling . and i 'd much rather oversee your recovery here at home , where i can keep an eye on you . but let me very clear about this . you need to relax and embrace this peace and quiet . okay ? because under no circumstances can you engage in anything that will cause you any anxiety . victor : yes , dear . maggie : victor , i mean it . if you do n't want to end up back in the hospital , it is essential . rafe : ah , maggie . maggie : rafe . rafe : victor . victor : what do you want ? rafe : i 'm sorry to interrupt , but i 'm here on official police business . sarah : you were right . mackenzie 's sound asleep , making those little -- xander : snuffling noises . sarah : mm - hmm . xander : no sign of fever , and she had good color ? sarah : yeah . you would never know , looking at her , right ? just how sick she really is ? xander : i know how scared you are , sarah . but we 're gon na find a match . sarah : i know , we 'll find a match . i know , i know , i know . that 's what everyone keeps saying . and i keep praying for it . and i 'm trying to stay positive . but then that nightmare was just a reflection of all of my fears bottled up inside me , just knowing that if we do n't find a match , my baby could die . xander : you 're not going to lose mackenzie . i promise you that . kristen : i was at the hospital , and i heard this baby crying , and i knew -- i knew , brady , it was rachel . and i told her that mommy was coming , but i just could n't find her . and then i know this sounds crazy -- i know it does -- but i have this strong feeling inside me that she is out there somewhere , and she needs my help , brady . brady : hey . shh . i know you miss her . i miss her too . kristen : yeah , but she 's our miracle baby . brady : i know . she was . she was . but we do n't have her anymore . but we still have each other . and being with you again and touching you and feeling you , i just ca n't think of a better , a more perfect valentine 's day than being with you , the woman that i happen to love very much . kristen : i love you too . and i love my new charm . brady : you do ? kristen : i do . brady : but like i said , i do n't just want to share sad memories with you . i want to make some new ones . some happy ones . you 're all i need . you are all i need . i do n't know if you believe that , but that is the truth . so from now on , i want to start focusing on our future . you know ? i want to fill this bracelet up with charms that symbolize our new adventures , our new memories , that we get to share . kristen : yeah . brady : right ? kristen : yeah . yeah . we have so much to look forward to , do n't we ? brady : we have a ton , a ton to look forward to . our skin tells a story ... victor : so why are you here ? do n't you have your hands full dealing with your homicidal maniac of a sister ? rafe : [ chuckles ] well , she 's in custody , and , rest assured , she 'll be facing the appropriate charges . maggie : i 'm more concerned about arianna . with both parents in prison , dear god . rafe : she does n't know yet , does she ? maggie : uh , no . no , once they get more information on what gabi is facing , then i 'm sure they 'll find a way to break the news to her . victor : never a good time . but we 'll do whatever we can for sonny 's daughter . rafe : great . that 's great to hear . she 's gon na need all the love and support she can get . but again , that is not why i 'm here . maggie : well , go on . what is it ? rafe : the thing is , i have reason to believe that someone under this roof has committed a very serious crime . sarah : xander ? you have been my rock through all of this . i mean , you 're always lifting my spirits , and you 're keeping me positive . i could n't do this without you . i could n't get through this without you . xander : you 'll never be without me , sarah . there 's nothing i would n't do to protect you and our daughter . sarah : i know how much you love mackenzie . maybe we should just be a little careful about you calling yourself her father in front of eric , though . xander : eric 's making a serious mistake if he overplays his hand about being that little girl 's father . sarah : what do you mean ? xander : sorry , i did n't mean to disparage eric . i just meant you do n't have to share dna with a child to be a good father to them , you know . sarah : i agree . speaking of dna , i 'm gon na call the hospital lab . so kind of abigail to get tested and try to round up any potential donors . god willing , one of them will be a match . xander : let 's hope so . kristen : i do not want to move . brady : i do n't want you to move . kristen : but i think i should take a shower . brady : i could take on with you . kristen : okay . brady : i could . i could jump in -- [ cell phone rings ] oh , it 's theresa . hold on . hold on . hey . yeah , oh , good . i 'm glad it got there . i wanted tate to know that his dad was thinking about him on valentine 's day and that he misses him . theresa , can you put him on ? is he around ? kristen : [ mouths words ] brady : thank you . hey ! hey ! how you doing , buddy ? did you like your present ? i heard you did . yeah ? really ? what 's that ? your mom took you to the doctor to get -- what 'd you say , some tests ? what tests ? will : i knew there used to be bad blood between gabi and julie , but i thought they 'd moved past that . sonny : so did i . will : where is gabi now ? sonny : she 's at the police station . so i was gon na go see her , but i wanted to , you know , fill you in first . will : sonny , how bad is this ? sonny : it 's very bad . will , she confessed in front of all her guests at the wedding , including rafe . will : my god . sonny : she 's going to see prison time . and i just know how difficult that 's gon na be for our daughter . will : especially since i 'm in here too . i mean , i 'm so sorry that i 'm not there to support ari . i mean , you -- this should not all be on your shoulders . sonny : well , i 'm gon na do the best that i can . and , you know , ari is not the only reason i came here to see you today . will : what else ? sonny : will , why have n't you filed our divorce papers ? emma , bathroom time . alex . kristen : is something wrong with tate ? brady : no . but get this . victor went behind my back and asked theresa to have herself and tate tested as matches for mackenzie . kristen : tate told you that . brady : yeah , apparently , he did n't know it was a secret . but theresa fessed . she fessed up to it . kristen : well , i mean , she would do anything for maggie 's grandchild . brady : yeah , i mean , we all would . i mean , that 's why we all volunteered to be tested . but this urgency to have tate tested , it 's come up before . kristen : right . i mean , i remember , back at eric 's apartment . brady : xander insisted that i communicate to theresa that tate needs to be tested right away . when i questioned him about it , he blew up . kristen : i mean , he is desperate to save a child 's life , and i am willing to give him a pass for that . brady : well , i 'm not willing to give a pass to this . he ca n't meddle in my life after firing me shortly after i lost my daughter . something 's going on here . kristen : like what ? brady : i do n't know . but i 'm sure as hell gon na find out . victor : i ca n't imagine what you 'd be investigating here . last time there was a criminal living under this rood , it was will horton . and as you just said , he 's behind bars . rafe : yeah , i 'm talking about ben weston . i assume you 've heard he escaped from prison ? maggie : yes , it 's all over the news . rafe : well , as i 'm sure you know , ciara and ben have had a history , and , well , i 'm concerned that she might be helping him . victor : my granddaughter is far too busy working her way up in major corporation to be abetting a convicted felon . i happen to know for a fact that she 's got a meeting at titan this morning . she texted me with questions . rafe : alright , yeah . well , i 'm actually well aware of that meeting at titan . in fact , i was just there . ciara was a no - show . now , my guess would be if i asked to see your phone , those texts would n't be on it . maggie : victor , what 's going on ? rafe : well , he 's lying to me is what 's going on . and i 'm just wondering why . victor : just because my granddaughter took pity on a convicted murderer does n't mean that she 's ruthless enough or stupid enough to try and break him out of prison . rafe : i understand that . and i care about ciara too , very much . i do n't want to see her in trouble . so if she happens to text you or call you or stop by , please let her know i need to speak to her right away . maggie : okay . rafe : good day . maggie : dear god , victor . ciara may have helped a death row inmate escape ? victor : oh , hogwash . you heard what i just said to rafe . maggie : yes . and you were bluffing . you know as well as i do how much ciara loves ben . she would do anything to help him . ben : chad 's not messing around , ciara . i need to get out of here . ciara : okay , and i 'm coming with you . ben : no . you 're not . we 've been over and over this . ciara , you need to stay here in salem . hey , this is where your future is , your job , your family . ciara : how many times to i have to tell you , ben ? i do n't want a future without you . look , i am not gon na let you die over a murder that you did n't commit . and you do n't have to . not if we find the person who really killed jordan . sonny : after we signed our divorce papers , you said you were gon na send them back to your lawyer . will : yeah , i know . sonny : okay , well , my dad called your lawyer , and he never received them . so what 's the holdup ? gabi : will , you 're innocent . you did not kill adrienne . will : there is a very good reason that i did n't file those papers . something great from mr . clean . will : divorce is a huge decision . sonny : but we agreed . i mean , we admitted that it was over between us and that it was the right thing to do . right ? because [ inaudible ] you get over the fact that -- will : yeah , no , no , i -- yes , i know , sorry . what i mean is , i just wanted to read over the papers one more time . sonny : okay . well , i mean , did you ? will : yes , i did . i was gon na file them . but then something happened . sonny : what happened ? will : ben escaped , so -- and the whole place was on lockdown till this morning , so there was no , you know , mail going -- going in or out . sonny : okay . well , do you have them here ? do you have the papers ? 'cause then i can just go ahead and take care of it . rafe : hey , chad . chad : hey . rafe : hey . chad : any news on steve ? rafe : no , i 'm afraid not . we now actually have reason to believe that he has abducted kayla . chad : anything i can do to help ? rafe : well , i 'll keep you posted . thanks . chad : oh , then you must be here to get our statements about gabi 's case then . but unfortunately , abby 's grandfather passed away and she had to leave town . rafe : i 'm sorry to hear that . chad : it 's fine . i can give you mine . we actually -- we saw gabi -- gabi was having a meeting in this house with the guy who raped -- rafe : i 'm not -- i 'm not -- no , no , i 'm not here about gabi . i 'm looking for ben weston , and i need you to search your gatehouse . ciara : ben , we both know that you did n't kill jordan . right ? but someone out there did . so i 've spent a lot of time thinking . i 've been thinking , who ? who could have done this ? who would have had a reason to do this ? ben : last night , you said you had a theory . ciara : yeah , i do . ben , what if it was the father of jordan 's baby ? maggie : it 's bad enough that we 're all so worried about mackenzie . and now ciara could -- she could be in serious trouble too . victor : do n't worry . i 'll take care of it . maggie : just like i said , this is supposed to be a stress - free zone . victor : maggie , you know damn well i 'm gon na do whatever is necessary to protect the people that i love , especially you . xander : uncle vic . welcome home . victor : thank you . xander : oh , i was just -- sarah 's taking a shower . i was supposed to check on the baby . i should go . maggie : no , no , no . you know what ? let me . i have n't had a chance to give that little one a hug today . and it 'll be my pleasure . xander : thank you , maggie . maggie : nice to see you . xander : have you heard from theresa ? victor : last time i checked , she had n't heard anything . xander : so check again . victor : i do n't want to do that . theresa may become suspicious . now she thinks we 're testing everybody we can get our hands on . ca n't run the risk of someone finding out that we switched those babies . xander : we did it for a good reason -- the best reason -- to protect the women we love . victor : maggie would never recover if something went wrong . that 's why i would be willing to do the same thing all over again , even though brady has to suffer the consequences . brady : what consequences ? victor : xander and i were just discussing how titan is thriving . xander : with me at the helm . brady : as i recall , titan was doing just fine when i was ceo . and then i was fired for reasons that still have n't been explained to me . kristen : yeah , and it turns out that titan 's loss was dimera 's gain . and basic black has been flourishing since brady came aboard . xander : oh , is that why you 're here , to gloat ? brady : no , xander , i 'm here because my grandfather got out of the hospital , and i wanted to know how he was doing . victor : good as new , thank you . brady : clearly . since you 've already begun sticking your nose into business where it does n't belong . victor : what 's that supposed to mean ? brady : you went behind my back , granddad . you had tate and theresa tested as donors for mickey . i would like to know why . sarah : yeah ? maggie : hi , darling . sarah : mama . maggie : i looked in on our little angel , and she 's asleep , looking very peaceful . sarah : okay . she 's been so brave through all this . such a little trouper , you know ? maggie : yes . well , she proved that from the start , when she was born on the side of the road . yeah . sarah : i think about that night a lot . you know , adrienne being kind and offering to drive me to the hospital . sarah : it should have been me . i should have been there for you , instead of passed out drunk . sarah : mom , maggie : no . sarah : no , we 've been over this . come on . you had no way of knowing that summer was gon na show up with a bottle of vodka and the news that she 's dying . and you had a slip . but the good news is that you did n't get in that car and drive . maggie : but it was still a terrible accident . sarah : yeah . yeah , it was . but it does n't do us any good to keep thinking about it or keep talking about it . maggie : well , you 're right , it doesn't . and we need to focus on how lucky we are that you and little mickey survived . sarah : yeah . maggie : yeah . sarah : i 'm eternally grateful for that . maggie : but adrienne -- you know , she was such a wonderful woman . she was so full of life and joy , sarah : yeah , she was . she was . it was a -- it was a terrible loss . maggie : you know , i ca n't imagine how this is affecting will . the torture . that one lapse in judgment and one text that he could n't wait to send . and he ended up killing sonny 's mother . will : actually , the warden took the papers . they confiscated everything in my room , just to , you know , see if i was complicit in ben 's escape . sonny : well , did they give you any idea when all of it would be returned ? will : no , sorry . sonny : so we 're gon na have to wait for the prison to finish their investigation or what , we 're gon na have to start the whole process over again ? will : yeah . i mean , i do n't know which one would take more time , honestly . sonny : maybe my dad would know . will : well , maybe we should just , i do n't know , you know , wait it out . sonny : will , are you rethinking a divorce ? [ clears throat ] time 's up . will : um ... well , i -- i -- tell ari that i love her . sonny : i 'll be in touch . will : i do n't want to lose sonny . but if tell the truth , that maggie killed his mother , i will hurt so many of the people that i love . chad : why would you need to search the gatehouse ? ben has n't lived there in over a year . rafe : well , i 'm conducting a thorough search . chad : right , no , but that 's where he murdered jordan . i feel like that would be the probably the last place he 'd go hiding . rafe : or the last place that he 'd think we 'd look . it 's just gon na take a minute . chad : but you ca n't do that . ben : you know who david 's father is ? ciara : no . no , i do n't know anything about him except for that jordan freaked out whenever anyone asked her about him . ben : i remember her saying that -- just how adamant she was that he stays out of her son 's life . ciara : right . so obviously , there must have been bad blood between them . and if jordan kept him from seeing his own son , i mean , maybe that gave him motive to actually kill her . look , i know -- i know that it 's not much to go on , but , ben , tell me what you think . ben : i think you 're on to something . ( beep ) victor : yeah , i asked theresa to give tate tested . so what ? brady : so what ? you ca n't go behind my back and do something like that . victor : maggie 's granddaughter could die , and you 're niggling about a simple blood test ? brady : tate and mackenzie are not even closely related . you know that . victor : close enough . theresa and eric are first cousins . xander : we 're casting the widest net possible to try and save a little girl 's life . we 'd get everyone in the world tested if we could . why would you have a problem with that ? kristen : he doesn't . having lost our own daughter , we sympathize . but why ? why did you ask theresa not to tell brady ? victor : i knew that she could n't keep her mouth shut . brady : it was tate who told me about the test . what i do n't understand is why you insisted on keeping it a secret . and i 'm not leaving here until you tell me the truth . rafe : why ca n't i search the gatehouse ? chad : you -- abby and i , we 're renovating . rafe : uh - huh . chad : we 're renovating the place . so that the kids and i -- that we can -- so we can move in there and we did n't have to live in the same house as gabi . but she 's going to prison , so -- rafe : what is your point ? chad : i guess it 's not gon na be -- it 's just that there 's we have tons of people working on the place , rafe . there 's people coming in and out , and if there were any signs of ben -- rafe : well , maybe there are no signs , you know , 'cause escaped convicts are really good at covering up their tracks . do you have a problem with me searching the gatehouse ? chad : no . just seems like you 're wasting your time , that 's it . rafe : oh . thought maybe there 's some other reason that you do n't want me going down there . hmm ? ciara : it 's a decent theory , right ? ben : yeah . did you run it by justin ? ciara : he thinks it 's a long - shot , but he said he 'll talk to his contacts in california , where jordan had her baby , and see if they can tell him anything about david 's father . you 're skeptical . ben : only because when rafe started this whole process of trying to adopt david , he tried to get information on david 's real father , and he struck out . ciara , the guy is a cop , but he could n't find a single lead . ciara : okay , so we 'll dig deeper . ben , i mean , someone out there has to know who jordan was involved with , right ? ben , the more that we talk about this , the more confident i am that the key to clearing you is finding david 's father . ben : which you can do while i 'm on the run . ciara : which i can do . alone . by myself . okay , i see . i understand . ben , you 're suggesting that i do this alone so that you can get away from me . this is just some new way to blow me off , right ? our skin ... chad : i have nothing to hide . alright , there 's a convicted serial killer on the loose , and i just think that there 's probably better places that you could spend your time looking for him . rafe : i can get a warrant if i have to . chad : i mean , do you really think that i would risk my neck trying to help a guy who terrorized me and my wife ? rafe : stranger things have happened . but if you are harboring a fugitive , you will get put away , and it 'll be for a long time . you 'll be away from your wife and your children . are you really willing to risk going to prison for ben weston ? will : maggie . maggie : it 's good to see you , will . although i was a little surprised to get your call . will : well , thank you for coming . maggie : of course . why do you want to see me ? victor : i 've already told you why i wanted tate tested . you should be thanking me instead of dressing me down . xander : victor just came back from the hospital . you should n't be stressing him out like this . brady : that 's a very convenient excuse . you know , if he had the strength to contact theresa , he has the strength to give me a legitimate reason why he wanted to keep it a secret . victor : unbelievable . kristen 's still getting inside your head . brady : excuse me ? victor : that crackpot obviously has you convinced there 's some sort of a conspiracy going on here ... brady : don't . victor : when there isn't . brady : don't . do n't insult her . we 're together . do n't do that . have some respect for us , okay ? and speaking of respect , tate is my son . you want to have him tested or anything , i will arrange it , alright ? xander : understood . you can go now . brady : no , no , no . you get out of my face . xander : why do n't you make me ? victor : oh , for heaven 's sakes . kristen : you know what , brady , let 's just go . brady : you know , i actually came here to get answers . sarah : hello . brady : i ca n't believe that -- i thought that you might be reasonable here . victor : goodbye , brady . sarah : i have something i have to say . brady : i 'm not going anywhere . brady : i do n't take orders -- sarah : oh my god , shut up ! hi . i have the most incredible news . i just -- i got a call from the hospital lab , and they -- they have a match . they have a bone marrow match for my daughter . ciara : you know , i 'm really sick and tired of you trying to ditch me , ben weston . ben : ciara . ciara : you know , it 's starting to hurt my feelings . ben : you know why . i do n't want you to be a fugitive . but that 's not why i 'm suggesting that you stay here . i 'm serious . i just think it would be a lot easier for you to find david 's father if you were n't trying to outrun the police . ciara : i can handle it , ben . ben : the clock is ticking for me . i need to focus on staying ahead of the cops while you focus on proving your theory , okay ? please . please . will you just stay here , please ? will you stay here in salem ? will you help me from here , please ? ciara : do you really want to do that , ben ? do you want to say goodbye ? ben : i love you , more than i have loved anyone . the whole reason i want to stay alive is to be with you . ciara : then do n't do it , ben . do n't go . please do n't leave me here . ben : it 's not gon na be forever . ciara : please do n't go . ben : it 's not gon na be forever . it 's not gon na be forever . i promise you . i promise you . i promise you . but for right now -- right now , we need to go our separate ways , okay ? i will contact you as soon as i find someplace safe . ciara : i 'm gon na work around the clock to make sure that i find david 's father . ben : thank you . thank you for always believing in me . ciara : always , ben . always . so do -- do you need me to give you a ride into town or something , or -- ben : it 's too risky . i need to go . ciara : please be careful , okay ? ben : i will . ciara : be very , very careful . ben : i promise you , i will . i will . all i 'm gon na be thinking about is getting back to you . i love you . ciara : i love you too . i 'm gon na see you soon , okay ? i 'm gon na see you real soon .	kristen had a dream that her baby was still alive and needed help . she woke brady up and told him about her dream . he tried to make her feel better about it . she was convinced that their baby is alive and needs help . brady told her that their baby died , but they were together . theresa called him and told him that tate was tested as a donor for mickey . brady was upset that the test happened behind his back . kristen tried to defend what xander did . he was trying to help mickey . brady thought he was up to something . victor was home from the hospital . rafe showed up at the mansion to talk to maggie about gabi . she told him arianna did n't know and that they had to be there for her . rafe also told them that he thought ciara helped ben escape prison . victor said ciara texted him and said she was working . rafe let him know that he already checked there . he knew victor was n't telling him the truth . rafe left the mansion . maggie thought he was hiding something , but he said that he takes care of the people he loved . xander arrived so maggie wanted to check on mickey . xander wanted to know if theresa got in touch with him . theresa did n't get in touch yet . they talked about the baby switch . victor did n't regret what he did . he would do it again even if brady got hurt . brady and kristen overhead part of their conversation so they had to lie to them . brady asked victor how he was doing and then wanted to know why tate was tested behind his back . victor and xander said they want to cover all bases . kristen asked why he wanted theresa to keep quiet about it .

[ chuckles ] like you did n't mean to upset victor when he kicked you out of this place so you could end up on daniel 's doorstep with his son in your arms ... like , i do n't know , something out of a greek tragedy ? wow . it 's too bad it was n't raining . then you could have really looked pathetic . chloe : maggie , i do n't get this . we used to get along . we used to be friends . maggie : you know what , chloe ? news flash ... i 'm not friends with someone who manipulates my son . so maybe you ought to write this down . he 's with jennifer now . he 's over you . [ scene_break ] daniel : o - o - okay , okay . you know , i get that you 're upset -- really , i do . i get that , but i just want you to think about what you 're saying here , because how can i share custody with parker and not have any contact with chloe ? that 's -- jennifer : oh , i know , but i was just thinking , you 're gon na have a nanny , right ? so you would have different jobs , different residences , so maybe the nanny could just act as an intermediary , and victor and maggie -- they could just help mediate . daniel : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah , chloe 's gon na love being mediated by my mother and a man who loathes her . jennifer , com -- okay , you know what ? think about this . think about this . suppose things turned out differently . how would you feel if i told you that , `` you know what ? you ca n't have any contact with jack . `` jennifer : daniel , that is not even the same situation . come on . daniel : listen , we are talking about the mother of my son . look , look , look at me . look , i know she is way , way out of line here , all right ? i get that . and -- but i think this is just a huge overreaction . i do . jennifer : okay . and i - i do . i understand why you think that . daniel : okay . jennifer : but you are wrong . [ scene_break ] nicole : that 's right -- - the rectory on the side of the church . and , hey , if you catch that little creep , this is the time when police brutality is absolutely appropriate . eric , is it still bleeding ? eric : no , no , no , it stopped . it 's all over . it 's just -- it 's just a cut . nicole : you know what ? i do n't care . i 'm calling an ambulance . eric : nicole ... i 'm worried about you . nicole : what ? why ? i was n't the one clocked over the head with a crucifix . eric : yeah , i guess my mom was right . i am hardheaded . nicole : this is n't funny . this is n't -- this is n't a joke . you ca n't just pretend that this did n't -- this did n't happen . you could have been killed . eric : hey . hey . [ groans ] it 's okay . it 's all over . nicole : eric , when i -- when i could n't wake you up , i was so scared . eric : i know . i heard . nicole : you did ? what exactly did you hear ? [ scene_break ] sami : you are standing here in my grandmother 's pub asking me to leave ? nick : yeah , leave and stay away from gabi . sami : no . as long as she refuses to take that paternity test , i will be on gabi like white on rice . rafe : [ scoffs ] d - do you hear yourself at all ? i mean , does it even compute to you that everyone in this room thinks you 're dead wrong , including your own son ? sami : i do n't care what anyone else thinks . i 'm not gon na let some loser ex- con keep my son away from his daughter . nick : okay , you know what , sami ? we will discuss this , i promise you , but not here and not now . what 's important right now is making sure that gabi 's okay . and if you ever want to see your granddaughter again , you 'll leave . sami : okay , so you ease off the threats , and i will hold you to that promise . nick : okay . gabi : [ gasps ] ahh ! nick : what ? gabi : oh , my god . nick : what ? gabi : it 's happening again ! [ groans ] will : okay , okay . now i 'm calling the hospital . nick : hey . gabi : aah ! sami : what have i done ? [ scene_break ] eric : i - i heard you call my name . and i could tell by the sound of your voice how worried you were about me . roman : eric ... you all right ? eric : yeah . dad , i 'm fine . nicole : no , he 's not fine . he was hit over the head with a cross . roman : let me take a look . eric : it 's not as bad as that time i got beaned in the head in little league . nicole : he was unconscious for a really long time . eric : yeah , but then i woke up , and the bleeding stopped . you think god would let a priest get seriously hurt with a cross ? it 'd be horrible pr . nicole : and he just keeps joking about it . emt : ma'am , are you okay ? nicole : i 'm -- i 'm fine . the jerk tried to steal my necklace . he came after me , but eric stopped him , and ... he saved my life . [ scene_break ] abigail : i 'm not sure i understand what you mean . cameron : [ sighs ] no ? well , i 'm talking about before . when -- when we broke up , i kind of thought it was about you losing your father and ... that you were having a hard time dealing with it . abigail : i was . cameron : i knew you were , but that was n't the whole reason , was it ? abigail ... if we 're gon na try this again , it 's imperative that we 're honest with each other . now , if you do n't want to talk about it here , i understand . but ... i do n't want to embarrass you . i do want you to know that -- abigail : yes . yes . you 're right . i 'm a virgin . maxine : [ clears throat ] um , dr. davis , we have an emergency coming in now . we need you right away . cameron : i 'm sorry . abigail : it 's fine . cameron : i 'll talk to you later . abigail : nope . oh , my god . [ scene_break ] chloe : i guess it was stupid of me to even try to talk to you about it . of course you 're gon na take jennifer 's side . you think she 's a saint ... maggie : i do n't think that . chloe : even though her lie about the club almost stopped daniel from being with his son when he needed him the most . maggie : the lie was n't exactly unprovoked . chloe : you know what ? you can justify what she did . i do n't exactly think that she 's really the best influence on my son . maggie : you know , you 're right . chloe : i am ? maggie : mm - hmm . it 's stupid of you to talk to me about this . [ scene_break ] daniel : jenn -- okay , jennifer . what -- did she threaten you in some way ? jennifer : no , daniel , she did n't . she 's just doing the same things that she did before . she keeps talking about your bond with parker . she 's giving me details about things that i really do n't want to know about . so she 's not threatening me . it 's just really tiring . and she brought up something else . [ laughs ] daniel : what ? go ahead . say it . jennifer : i was just asking her why she was spending so much energy to try to get back this man that does n't want her , and she got so defensive . so , whatever it is you 're saying to her , it 's not penetrating . okay , you move out of your apartment , and she still believes that you 're going to get back together . you talk to her on the phone about who 's gon na pick parker up , and she believes that -- that you still love her . so dealing with her right now is like sitting down and having drinks with an alcoholic , because you stop , and she does n't stop . daniel : okay , jenn , look , i want you to stop . jennifer : what ? i -- daniel : just stop it . jennifer : daniel , i -- daniel : i 'm sorry . i know what she 's putting you through , and i 'm sorry about it . but i promise you , she is not gon na get to me . jennifer : [ scoffs ] daniel : all right , and eventually that will sink in . listen , you need to trust me . jennifer : i do . daniel : do you ? jennifer : i trust you , yes . i 'm not worried about the two of you getting back together , but i am scared that she is not going to give up . so , if you do n't set boundaries , she is just gon na keep chipping away and chipping away at what we have till we have nothing left . and i ca n't do that . i will not go through that again . [ scene_break ] gabi : [ groans ] maxine : put her in room 446 . orderly : i got it . cameron : gentlemen , gentlemen , gentlemen , wait out here . gentlemen ... listen , wait out here , okay ? i 'll come out as soon as i know what 's going on . rafe : all right . cameron : so what happened ? rafe : well , she had pain in her stomach . it seemed to go away , and then it came back . cameron : okay . rafe : she 's been in pain ever since . cameron : well , what was she doing ? was she -- did she physically strain herself ? did she fall ? will : no , no , uh , but she was having an argument with my mother . nick : okay , please do not let anything happen to her or the baby . cameron : well , you -- you got her here fast . that 's good . and we 'll do everything that we can , okay ? rafe : yeah . why ? stay out of the way . will : what the hell are you doing here ? sami : will , you have to believe me . you have to know that i would never do anything to hurt your child . will : no . no , i do n't know that . [ scene_break ] eric : that hurts . roman : well , offer your pain up to god . nicole : i hate you two . this is n't funny . eric : we 're irish and male . you think there 's a chance of us playing it straight ? [ both chuckle ] roman : okay , listen up . can you two give me a description of the guy ? could you pick him out of a lineup ? nicole : yeah , definitely , and i look forward to doing so . eric : she 's not the turn - the - other - cheek kind of person . roman : all right , well , it looks like most of the money 's still here , so let 's stop him before he tries again . it could take some time , though . eric : time is n't an issue , right , nicole ? nicole : i just wanted to say good - bye . i 'm leaving salem .

[ scene_break ] daniel : jenn , i hear what you 're saying . i really do . so i will tell her , in no uncertain terms , to stop harassing you . jennifer : oh , okay . okay . so you did n't really get -- get my whole point about alcoholics . so maybe you should ask maggie and brady the success rate of making an addict stop ... daniel : okay , you stop . jennifer : because they have to want to stop . daniel : she 's not an addict , that 's crazy . jennifer : and she does n't want to . she is having the time of her life , daniel . daniel : okay , you know what ? i will keep her away from you . i will do that . but i ca n't not deal with her . i 'm not gon na do it . no , that 's not good for my son . and i want you to think about this . what about abigail and jj ? how would you feel if you missed out on the first two years of their lives ? how would you feel ? because what i 'm trying to do right now is i 'm trying to make a smooth transition for parker to go from philip 's life into my life . and i think -- i really do -- he has to have two parents that are getting along . he has to see that . jennifer : yes , yes , i understand how hard this is for you -- i do . and i - i agree with you ... daniel : okay , then -- jennifer : 100 % , if we were n't talking about chloe right now . daniel : oh , come on . jennifer : do you think that she is not using parker ? he does n't realize it right now , but he will . he will grow up looking back at his childhood thinking that you were just something to hold on to , that she was using him to hold on to you . and that is going to happen if you do n't stop this right now . daniel : you know what ? um , i 'm done . i ca n't talk about this . jennifer : what ? daniel : we 'll talk tomorrow morning . jennifer : daniel , listen to me -- i am not thinking about myself . i want you -- daniel : okay , jennifer , you really need to stop right now . i know what you want , but i am not gon na give it to you , not right now .

[ scene_break ] sami : i ca n't believe you said that . will : listen , i do n't ... think that you would intentionally hurt this baby , but you do not stop and think . you just charge ahead . i mean , this afternoon you looked me in the eye , and you lied to me . you sent me on this stupid errand so you could drive as fast as you can to go scream at a scared pregnant girl . i swear to god , mom , if anything happens to this baby because of this , i will never forgive you . sami : i 'm sorry that i lied to you . and i will never forgive myself if something happens . i feel terrible about it . will : well , you should . sami : if i had known , i would never have come down there to confront gabi . i would never do anything to hurt the baby . i - i -- will : yes , i know , mom , but the problem is that you just -- you just push and you push to get what you want , and other people 's feelings do not matter to you . sami : your feelings matter . you m - matter . i 'm doing this for you . will : there was no reason to , mom . i had everything worked out . i had everything worked out . sami : you -- will : and now who knows what 's gon na happen ? i mean , what -- i 'm sorry . what if something happens to this baby ? what if something happens ? sami : it 's not . it 's not gon na happen , okay ? i promise you it 's not . your little girl is gon na be okay -- i promise . she 's gon na be okay , sweetie . she 's gon na be okay .

[ scene_break ] eric : brady , you really do n't know how much nicole has done for me , how much she 's helped me . brady : [ chuckles ] sorry , but ... eric : not everyone thinks like you , brady . brady : i know , but listen , nobody -- nobody thinks like nicole . i know her . remember that . i like her . h - hell , i love her . i probably will always love her , but trust me -- she 's not the girl that you left town over . there are parts of nikki that she will never let you see ... parts that will come back and bite you in the ass . eric : brady , that 's enough . brady : and trust me -- she 's got the sharpest teeth . eric : that is enough . i do n't need you telling me about nicole . brady : well , i did n't need people telling me about kristen either , but that did n't shut anybody up . you are gon na have people coming around and saying to you , `` be careful . stay away from her . it 's for your own good . `` if you 're smart , you 'll listen . eric : this is not the same as kristen . brady : you 're still gon na end up with your heart broken and your life shredded . but whatever . i mean , jump on in , brother . the water 's fine . [ scene_break ] ej : abigail , it would be a big mistake for you to assume -- abigail : you love that word , do n't you ? `` mistake . `` you keep saying it like you 're trying to convince me , ej , or convince yourself . but we did n't feel like a mistake . it -- it was n't a mistake . ej : abigail , you need to listen very carefully , my dear . samantha and i are -- abigail : are engaged . yes , i know . but you were also engaged when you came to the cabin . so what does that really mean to you , ej ? ej : it means i love her very much and -- abigail : you guys are n't even sleeping in the same bed together . how could you ... you 're sleeping together again ? ej : yes . yes , we are . [ scene_break ] eric : i appreciate your concern for me , brady . brady : concern ? is that what you think this is ? eric : [ sighs ] brady : i need to choose my words better . i do n't give a damn what happens to you , eric . you sail through this world oblivious , and it all 's working out for you just fine . eric : listen , i was attacked . i lost my vocation . so i do n't know how that translates into `` working out `` to you . brady : well , the whole world 's pulling for you , buddy . you got a gorgeous girl ready to pick up all your broken pieces . eric : yeah , the same woman you say is gon na tear me up . brady : mm . eric : brady , are you using ? brady : am i -- there it is , right on time , the sanctimony . eric : yeah , well , you 're not making any sense , so i just had to wonder . brady : do n't wonder . you do n't need to wonder . just listen to me . nicole is there right now . she looks good , right ? but sooner or later , that kitten is gon na take her claws out ... eric : brady , that 's enough . brady : she 's gon na rip your soul out . eric : you know what ? i do n't want to hear it . brady : why ? because you 're too delicate to see the bad in anybody ? eric : no , because you 're angry and bitter . brady : [ scoffs ] eric : i have to go . brady : no , hey , hey , come -- get back here . we 're brothers . we need to talk . it feels good . talk to me ! come on . eric : i 'm done with you . i am done trying to make you understand and make peace with you . that 's enough . i 've had it . [ scene_break ] nicole : so , after eric and i were held hostage , we went back , and there was this list of doctors . and the man who kidnapped us was on that list . marlena : this dr. chyka ? nicole : yes . we tracked him down , and we made him confess . marlena : who 's we ? nicole : daniel and i . marlena : okay , how did you make him confess ? nicole : it does n't matter . we convinced him that we had him dead to rights . marlena : okay , so you somehow made him confess . how did he get away ? nicole : he had an accomplice with a gun . he came after us . daniel went after him . marlena : so you were then alone with this dr. chyka . nicole : yes , but ... the creep was exhausted . you know , he could barely move . it does n't matter what happened , marlena . listen , trust me , okay ? just trust me . daniel thought i was safe . we both did . marlena : but there was no proof , no evidence to what happened ? nicole : what the hell do you think i was looking for ? yes , of course , there had to be proof . marlena : so ? nicole : [ sighs ] he got away first . marlena : that 's incredible . i mean , just to have been that close . nicole : it was horrible . marlena : yeah . nicole : i - i ca n't believe he got past me . marlena : yeah , it is sort of unbelievable , hmm ? nicole : i feel awful . marlena : do you ? [ scene_break ] theresa : so mom does n't know what a total snake you are ? daniel : oh , you expect me to be sorry for playing you for just a couple minutes ? hmm ? forget it , 'cause all you do is play people , so jj had to do whatever it took to get you to back off , and i , um ... well , i actually was delighted to help him . no regrets . [ scene_break ] jj : and i want to let you know , mom , that ever since i came back home , after the judge gave me probation , i have n't done anything to break your trust . jennifer : okay . then just tell me what this is about . jj : before ... i thought that i could work the situation ... but i - i was an idiot . it 's embarrassing . i know that you 're going to think less of me , and i do n't blame you . i wish that i did n't have to tell you this . but it 's messing up a lot of people 's lives for me to keep this quiet , especially yours . [ scene_break ] abigail : i 'm not gon na run out of here screaming , if that 's what you think . ej : look , i just want us to have a little bit of privacy . okay ? are you all right ? abigail : [ sighs ] god , do n't . do n't , ej . the only thing worse than the look on your face right now is ... ej : abigail , i 'm just trying to be honest with you . abigail : y - yes . let 's do that , shall we ? let 's be honest with each other . what was it , ej ? ej : what was what ? abigail : what was it ? why did you have sex with me ? was it -- was it good exercise for you , maybe a nice workout ? ej : no , it was n't exercise . abigail : a tension release or sports sex maybe ? ej : abigail , why would you call it something like that ? abigail : why not ? because it does n't sound nice ? you said it yourself , ej . you 're a bad man . so just say it . let it out ! be honest ! ej : i 'm trying to explain to you -- abigail : if you 're not gon na be honest with me , then at least be honest with yourself . the only reason you slept with me is because you were n't getting any at home . ej : that 's not true . the reason i slept with you ... [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] eric : you have made a lot of bad choices , and i am sorry about that . i am sad for you . brady : oh , i do n't need this . eric : no , what you need to accept , brady ... brady : hey ! eric : is to accept some responsibility for what you did and stop lashing out at everybody . brady : where the hell do you get off telling me about the choices that i made and taking responsibility for what i did ? eric : because you 're holding onto every slight and hurt and full of resentment that i 've made peace with what has happened to me . brady : oh . well , it 's too bad that you 'll never be able to own up to what you actually did . i do n't care how many excuses you give me , brother . i do n't care how many magic drugs were in your system . you took my fiancée to bed , and every part of you was in it , and i saw it in your face . you loved it . you loved it , did n't you ? eric : brady , that 's right , that was me . i wanted to screw up your life , because i hate you , and i wanted to hurt you . and while i was at it , i just wanted to blow up my life in the middle of it all . that makes a lot of sense . brady : hey , hey , maybe it does , maybe it does . i mean , look where you are . you know , you 're free now . maybe you needed that really good excuse that the family would buy to leave the priesthood . you got it now . you slept with my fiancée . oh , now you 're gon na go sleep with my ex . that 's great . eric : nicole does n't belong to you . brady : well , she 's not gon na belong to you either . you think you 're in for some `` happily ever after `` ? six months tops , brother . she 's gon na leave you , and you 're gon na lose her . and it could n't happen to a more deserving guy . [ scene_break ] theresa : [ scoffs ] how do you do it ? everyone in this town thinks you 're such a great guy . but i see you , jonas . i see through that earnest hippie bull that you 're just a player . you know , and i used to think that it was kind of hot ... but really you 're just the worst kind of user . you think that you 're perfect , and whatever you do to help people must be justified . daniel : you know what ? i do n't have time for you . theresa : you know , maybe jenny smelled that . maybe she knew deep down that you 'd never live up to her standards . daniel : okay , you -- you do n't get to talk about her . theresa : oh . is that a reflex ? you 'll just defend her no matter what ? you know , she 'll always hate you for sleeping with me . daniel : really ? what makes you think that i have n't told her the truth ? theresa : because she has n't come running to tell me off and to start a twitchy little catfight . daniel : oh , maybe you do n't really know her at all . theresa : i do n't need to . daniel : your loss , truly . but it 's the world you made , so you get to live in it until you just flame out . but meanwhile ... if you want to stay healthy ... do n't forget what i said . you stay away from the people that i care about . [ scene_break ] abigail : tell me . why did you sleep with me ? ej : [ sighs ] abigail , there just is n't a simple answer to that question . abigail : well , it 's a good thing i 'm a complicated girl , then . i can follow along . ej : can you really ? you 're as tough as you want to sound right now , right ? because ... abigail : what ? ej : [ sighs ] abigail : what is it ? just say it . do you even know , ej ? or is it that you just do n't want to admit it to yourself ? because i know what i felt . i know that i might be new to this , but i have replayed it in my head a thousand times -- the cabin , the shower , every time that -- that i touched you , every way that you touched me . i know . i know that that was not just sex . you wanted me every bit as much as i wanted you , ej . [ scene_break ] brady : hey , scotch rocks , please . bartender : no problem . brady : [ laughs ] this day just keeps getting better and better . maggie : it 's good to see you too . brady : [ sighs ] maggie : how 's it going ? brady : great . fantastic , actually . make that a double , please . maggie : you 've switched to scotch . brady : why not ? maggie : vodka 's easier to hide on your breath . brady : i 'm not hiding , maggie . [ scene_break ] nicole : why are you being like this to me ? marlena : i just think it 's unfortunate that you were left alone with chyka , who was the only witness that could exonerate eric , and help us get to the truth . nicole : i did get the truth . i just did n't get the proof . marlena : yes , so ? what else was there ? nicole : look , i recorded his confession . he stole my phone . marlena : and still , no other help , right ? nothing else ? nicole : besides a full confession ? marlena : i just -- i ca n't believe you let this man slip through your fingers -- that 's all . daniel : excuse me , marlena , but you were n't there , so you have no idea what you 're talking about . you should n't be attacking nicole . you should be thanking her . [ scene_break ] jennifer : okay . let 's just talk about this and just break the whole thing down , okay ? jj : i listened to the wrong people . jennifer : oh , my gosh . if this has something to do with rory and bev and they have gotten you into some kind of trouble -- jj : no , mom , this has everything to do with me . it has nothing to do with them . i 'm talking about theresa . jennifer : theresa ? you swore you were gon na stay away from theresa . jj : i - i know what i said . i did n't . god , there 's just no other way than to just say it . i was the one that was with her when she od 'd . [ scene_break ] ej : [ chuckles nervously ] uh , look , abigail , i really think it 's gon na be much better if we do n't pick this apart , okay ? let 's just let it go . abigail : why ? why ? because it 's messy ? lots of things that are worth it are messy . you do n't just walk away from something that feels the way that we feel , ej . i know that there are problems . i know that . you 're engaged . you love sami , and you guys are even back together for right now . ej : you say that like it does n't even matter ! abigail : it does n't matter , because you loved sami at the cabin . you loved her all the other times that we were together . but you still came to me . you still wanted me . so , whatever it is that you have with her , it obviously is n't enough , or it is n't working , or you just wanted something different , something more ... because you still came to me . i do n't -- i do n't know what you think . do you think that i just ca n't see it , ej ? i know you . you want to make love to me right here ... on this table ... right now . [ scene_break ] maggie : i know where you are , brady . and someday you will want to crawl out of the bottle . and whenever that is , no matter how far you 've fallen to hit the bottom ... i will be here . i love you . never forget that . brady : [ sighs ] theresa : wait . i bet that 's not the house ... bourbon ? brady : scotch . theresa : hmm . how about some company ? [ scene_break ] daniel : nicole has done everything she could to help eric . marlena : it depends on what nicole 's definition of `` helping `` is . daniel : oh , what do you mean ? marlena : [ sighs ] well , nicole ... nicole : nicole is sitting right here . marlena : probably has her own agenda ... nicole : oh , yeah . marlena : and possibly her own plans . nicole : she thinks i torpedoed eric 's chances of becoming a priest again . daniel : seriously ? okay , well , that -- that 's just wrong , 'cause everything she did was to get him reinstated . that 's all she wanted . she risked her own life to make that happen . she was willing to go in on her own to face down chyka . nicole : the problem is i was alone with chyka . daniel : but that guy showed up with a gun . okay , all right , all right , for the record , i would never let nicole try to take chyka down alone . the only reason she ended up alone is because some guy showed up with a gun , and i had to get rid of him . now , at that point , chyka -- he was worn down . he was tired , and we thought that she was safe . but chyka -- he 's obviously clever , determined , and ruthless . and i 'd say we 're fortunate nicole escaped , 'cause she could have been killed . and all she worried about was the evidence to clear eric . so , with all due respect , i think you owe her an apology . marlena : sorry , nicole . thank you for trying to help eric . excuse me . daniel : [ exhales deeply ] nicole : thank you . [ scene_break ] jj : mom ... for the first time , i 'm being completely honest with you . i made a stupid choice . i went over to theresa 's that night and brought some weed for her . jennifer : after your arrest ? after you knew that you could go to prison ? i 'm sorry . just tell me . jj : i did it because ... i was into her . and i - i know that it was dumb and pathetic . but she kept giving me signals that -- that she would get with me if i brought her some stuff . [ sighs ] so , when i showed up , she said that she had something else -- something that would make the experience even more amazing . i - i did n't know what the drug was , and -- and i did n't even really want any , so i took , like , barely a sip . so then she had hers and mine , and she had already been drinking , so it was way too much . [ stammers ] and then the next thing that i knew , she was passed out , and -- and i - i could n't wake her up . and i - i was freaked because i knew that if i called an ambulance , we would both get busted , okay ? there was weed paraphernalia everywhere . and i - i could n't just sit there and -- and let her die . i had to do something ... so i called daniel . [ scene_break ] ej : [ sighs ] you should leave . abigail : i 'm not going to leave . i wo n't walk away from you , not when i know that you still want me . ej : what we want and what we act on are two completely different things . abigail : [ whispering ] they do n't have to be . [ scene_break ] nicole : i feel like i was in an interrogation room . daniel : maybe it 's a shrink thing . they always question people 's motives , so -- i do n't know . nicole : maybe it 's a she 's - never - really - trusted - me thing . daniel : well , then she needs to learn ... nicole : [ chuckles ] daniel : because what you did -- i mean , you could have been killed . but you went there to help eric . in fact , you ... [ door closes ] daniel : you put his needs in front of your own . eric : hey , can i get in on this ? nicole : hey . daniel : yeah , man , please . hey . have a seat . nicole : how 's it going ? eric : it 's , uh , getting kind of weird . daniel : what -- what is ? eric : telling everyone the news . i 'm leaving the priesthood . [ scene_break ] jj : mom ... i 'm telling you this because you need to know what daniel did . as soon as he heard that theresa could be dying , he was there in , like , five minutes flat . he got her to -- to open her eyes , and he kept her breathing until the ambulance got there . he was calm , and he was all over it . and when he saw the weed and the booze , he was like , `` get rid of it `` ... not because of theresa , but because of me . he knew that i would be in prison if i was found there with all of that . so he threw me out and said , `` go home . you were never here . `` and that 's what i did . daniel covered for me . he lied to keep me out of prison . are you with me ? mom ? jennifer : yeah , yeah . just my mind -- i feel like it 's all over the place right now . that explains why i kept seeing the two of you together , and no one could explain to me why you were suddenly so tight . jj : yes . he kept -- he kept saying to stay away and people are gon na wonder and it has to look like the cover . jennifer : yes , the cover . right , that daniel had been there with theresa when she od 'd . yes , he had been there , that 's -- jj : mom , mom , no . he was n't there . he never slept with theresa . [ scene_break ] daniel : that -- that is , uh ... that 's big news . yeah , was , uh -- was that the epiphany that you could n't tell me about ? eric : yeah , and i 'm sorry . i just felt that i needed to tell my family first . daniel : no , sure . yeah , yeah , yeah . yeah , um ... and my guess is that , um , you two need to be alone . and i need to , uh , get ready , 'cause parker -- he 's coming home today . eric : oh . nicole : yay . well , daniel , thank you ... for earlier . daniel : oh , anytime . eric : hey , and if you do n't mind , if you would just kind of keep this quiet until i tell my whole family . daniel : yeah . no , absolutely . yeah , i 'll see you later . yeah , you bet . you bet . yeah . nicole : bye . uh , so ... who have you told ? eric : [ sighs ] mom and dad . they did n't take it so well . nicole : obviously . eric : grandma 's gon na be tougher , but i 'm sure sami can handle it . nicole : they love you . they will all come around . eric : yeah , i know they will . it 's just -- i know they want me to be happy . nicole : are you ? eric : very . you know , i do n't think that i would say the same thing if you were n't here . but i still say that it was the right choice . i just ... i just ca n't wait to see where we go from here . nicole : me too . eric : i want to tell everyone . and i do n't want to look back . then it 's just now . and the future -- that 's all that really matters . nicole : you 're right . [ scene_break ] theresa : thanks . bartender : you 're welcome . brady : so i , uh ... take it the program is n't going too well , huh ? theresa : oh , yeah , well , i ditched it this morning . it 's not really working out for me . there 's too many steps . brady : steps can be -- steps -- what about dance steps ? that 's fun -- dance steps . theresa : oh , yeah , that 's fun . so what 's up with you ? brady : i , um ... well , i 'll share this with you . i had a very ugly , public final fight with my ex - priest brother this morning . i think -- i think we 're writing each other off for good now . it 's done . theresa : wow . that 's a pretty busy morning . brady : and then maggie showed up , right here at the bar . theresa : that woman is everywhere . brady : she 's amazing . theresa : what , is she like a vampire or a ship -- shapeshifter ? brady : a ship -- a shapeshifter ? is that what it is ? theresa : a shapeshifter . brady : no , she 's -- she 's not a vampire or a -- whatever that thing was you were saying . theresa : yeah , well , she 's not any fun . brady : who is in this town ? theresa : we are . you know , i 'm tired of everybody trying to make us miserable . you know , i mean , we 're young . we 're good - looking , smart . brady : yeah . theresa : i mean , our whole lives should just be like a music video full of success and excess . brady : i love that . amen . our day will come . theresa : good things come to those who drink . brady : those who drink . theresa : [ giggles ] brady : nice . [ scene_break ] eric : i do n't think it 's gon na take very long . but i do think we might have to have dinner somewhere else . nicole : oh , it 's -- i 'm fine with wherever you want to go . eric : okay . [ door closes ] roman : eric ... i need a word . nicole : okay , roman , i - i -- i think this would all be easier if you just read the statement i gave hope , okay ? and if you still have questions , then i -- roman : sounds good . sounds good , nicole , but , uh ... i need a word with my son . nicole : oh . oh , okay . roman : alone . eric : dad . nicole : no , it 's -- it 's fine . i 'll .... see you later . [ clears throat ] roman . marlena : nicole . nicole : oh , i was just leaving . marlena : well , not yet . nicole : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] jennifer : why would n't daniel just tell me the truth , jj ? jj : the way that it came out at the hospital -- he had to come up with an excuse for why he was at theresa 's . he could have gotten around it , but there was that message that theresa left him on his phone that was all come - on . so , mom , people assumed , and he had to go with it . jennifer : right , but i 'm not `` people . `` jj : but , mom , you had to be mad at him , or no one else would have believed it . you would have had to lie , maybe in court . and he did n't want to put you in that position . jennifer : [ sighs ] jj : mom ? jennifer : i 'm sorry . it 's just ... [ sniffles ] it 's so much . i just ... and what about theresa ? so she just decided to -- to go along with all of this ? we thought that she did n't remember , but she was faking it . jennifer : why did she keep quiet ? jj : because she knew that it was sticking it to you for you to think that daniel was with her . mom , she is psycho - jealous of you . she would have done anything . jennifer : right , which is why i really still need to know what is going on . jj : mom , theresa blackmailed me . she took a video of me that night , and she said that she would show the judge if i did n't do whatever she wanted . jennifer : oh , god , jj . [ sighs ] jj : now you know why i was so freaked out about my sentencing . everyone was like , `` oh , you 'll be fine . you have no reason for the judge to punish you . `` but i knew . theresa could have blown it up at any minute . jennifer : why did n't she ? jj : because i stopped her . i got the goods on her . jennifer : how ? jj : it does n't matter . it 's ... i caught her trying to steal some money , and i got it on video .... jennifer : [ scoffs ] jj : so now it 's a draw . she ca n't use what she 's got unless she wants to go to prison too . she 'll keep her mouth shut . what ? jennifer : just unbelievable . every time i came home , i - i would ask you how you were , and you would just give me these one - word answers . you know , `` mom , i 'm fine . i 'm okay . `` jj : i did n't want it to be this way . but you see the problem ? and the more people know , the bigger the chance that something is going to blow up ... which is why you have to promise me , mom , that you wo n't go after theresa . please promise me . it -- it would make me feel better if -- if you said it . jennifer : i promise you that i will not do anything to hurt you . jj : thank you . jennifer : and i appreciate you telling me all of this . but why now ? jj : i just hate the way things are with you and daniel . and then that phony salesman guy came over last night , and ... you just needed to know , okay ? daniel did this because he knew that it would kill you to see me in prison . he let you think the worst of him so that you would n't lose me . he did it for you . he loved you , mom . i know he still does . [ scene_break ] ej : i ca n't . abigail , i ca n't . i - i ca n't hurt samantha that way . sorry . if she ever found out what happened -- abigail : she does n't have to find out . she does n't have to find out . i do n't want her to find out any more than you do . we can be careful .

[ scene_break ] steve : then the plane 's radio went dead . then the computer , the instruments , all the controls went out . someone sabotaged the electronics , man . roman : so , you do n't think it could have been a glitch ? steve : no . when i opened up that control panel , all the wires were fried . looked like somebody had attached some kind of small explosive to it . and the pilots were drugged , and they died . marlena found some kind of powder residue in their water bottles . roman : yeah . yeah , shawn told us about that . you know , normally when something like this happens , stefano is our number - one suspect . steve : yeah , but he 's still comatose , is n't he ? roman : yes , he is , which makes it highly unlikely that he was behind this . but somebody sure as hell sabotaged that plane . you know , i wonder if whoever did this wanted to kill everybody on board . maybe there was just a single target . and if that 's the case , that person would have to be crazy enough to kill all those other people . steve : well , besides stefano , i mean , who would be crazy enough , vicious enough to do a thing like that ? roman : steve . steve : that person would have to be pretty damn crazy .

[ dramatic music ] steve : me . joey : ah , man . ah , man , and you did it ? you could n't think of something else ? steve : joe , she 's out of her mind . i was so afraid that she was gon na leave your mom to die . so , yeah . yeah , i did it . ava : oh , i actually ca n't wait for this case to go to court . you know that video of patch and me having sex ? a jury 's gon na have to see that , and it 'll probably go viral . this whole town is gon na know that your husband cheated on you with me . go ahead , big brother . throw that book at me . roman : do n't listen to her . kayla : i 'm not . i 'm thinking about what i want , and that 's for you to go as far away as possible from me and my family . so , there are two ways you can go about this . the easy way is to agree to buy yourself a one - way ticket to the other side of the world and never come back . roman : whoa , wait a minute . wait a minute -- no , no . you 're not letting her go . ava : and what 's the hard way ? kayla : the same as if you came back . i press charges against you for kidnapping , and you go to trial . and what would be the court for that , roman ? roman : that would be federal court . kidnapping is a federal offense . ava : [ scoffs ] kidnapping . you ca n't make that stick . roman : with kayla as my star witness and your little video , you 're so proud of as a motive ? oh , yeah . yeah , we can . kayla : what 's it gon na be ?

julie : happy valentine 's day , my royal ... foot . i still ca n't believe that uncle mickey gave us the keys to tuscany and then let that bimbo with her bullhorns come in and put on a valentine 's day party . doug : honey , you were not specific about wanting valentine 's day at tuscany , so mickey gave her permission . end of story . julie : well , it was tacky . it was tacky . chips and dip and sheet cake . give me a break . doug : no , i think i will give you this -- the honor of disposing of this little item , since you have such a personal attachment to it . julie : oh , thank you very much . doug : ha ha . well , it was very funny , you know ? you chasing bonnie all around the room with your bullhorns and a -- and an arrow stuck right to your forehead . i wish i 'd had my camera . julie : oh . i 'm glad you found it so amusing , darling . you know , if that woman gets her way , she 's going to turn this place into a honky - tonk saloon . she 's just out to soak mickey for his money . and then he takes her home . doug : mickey is a grownup . he can take care of himself . and with a killer out there -- a real killer -- he does n't want her going home alone . julie : i could have killed her myself tonight . i wish i had . i wish i 'd beaten her to death with those bullhorns when i had the chance .

[ scene_break ] belle : shawn , this has to prove that my mom is not the serial killer . she was with us at tuscany when your grandfather was murdered . okay , at least just admit that my mom did n't kill victor . shawn - d : we still do n't know if my grandfather was murdered . there 's a possibility that it was an accident . i do n't know what to think . [ scene_break ] philip : i ca n't believe my father 's dead . bo 's phone call did n't seem real -- like some kind of ongoing nightmare . kate : i know , i know . did bo mention whether he thought it was the serial killer or not ? philip : no . i hope we 're about to find out . bo : nicole kiriakis , you 're under arrest for the murder of your husband victor kiriakis . you have the right to remain silent . if you give up the right to remain silent ... philip : you killed my father . you dirty bastard ! bo : anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . nicole : i 'm innocent ! bo : oh , give up the act . you 're not mourning my father . you hated him . in fact , he predicted you 'd try to kill him . hope : evidence shows that victor 's death was no accident . nicole : so then victor was a victim of the serial killer . bo : oh , give me a break . you 're the killer . you 're going to jail right now . nicole : no , i have an ironclad alibi . bo : yeah , right . nicole : look , before victor was killed , i was naked in bed handcuffed to his grandson . was n't i , brady ? [ scene_break ] [ saxophone ] jan : i could get the hang of being a murderess . it 's really not that hard . victor : i think my wife nicole sent you . she wants you to kill me . jan : nicole and i are friends . we help each other out . victor : ha . do n't be a fool . nicole 's only friend is nicole . jan : not anymore . she 's going to help me get everything i ever wanted . look , i 'm sorry , mr. kiriakis . i do n't want to do this , but i have to . it 's the only way i 'll be able to get shawn . jan : and when i kill belle , i 'm going to make sure she suffers even more . [ scene_break ] nicole : shocking , huh ? oops -- bad choice of words . but , yes , i was naked in bed handcuffed to brady , but i swear , i could n't have killed victor . it would have been physically impossible , right , brady ? brady : all right , you know what ? yes . we were together , nicole , but -- philip : you were sleeping with my stepmother , with your step - grandmother ? nicole : oh , god , i feel so old . kate : you are as guilty as sin . you killed roman , and you killed the others , and now you 've murdered victor ! john : hey , kate , easy , kate . nicky k. , it 's like this -- victor knew that you wanted to murder him . i talked to him earlier tonight , and he said if anything happens to him , you 're the one . nicole : my husband was brutally killed , and now all of you suspect me ? but i could n't have done it . kate : oh , please . do n't you even try to play the grieving widow , because it 's insulting to victor 's memory . bo : tell me something , nicole -- why were you handcuffed to brady ? nicole : because i was afraid there would be another killing , and i knew that victor thought i could be the murderer . hell , i knew all of you suspected me . that 's why i needed an airtight alibi , so i handcuffed myself to brady . i needed to be with someone 24/7 . there was no way i could get away from him . we both were in bed together . brady : all right , excuse me . i - i believe that victor 's death happened just as nicole and i were being freed from the handcuffs . the locksmith was getting us out . we noticed that the lights were flickering on and off . we had a huge power surge , and the power went out for a while . nicole : brady 's right . that must have been when it happened . and besides brady , the locksmith who was with us is also my alibi , so that proves that i did not kill my husband . john : and i can confirm that brady was handcuffed to nicole tonight . bo : okay , so the two of you were handcuffed together at the approximate time that lexie said victor was electrocuted . hope : then her alibi sounds legit . kate : how convenient . how coincidental that you managed to have yourself handcuffed to brady when victor was mysteriously killed . i would n't be surprised if you just got someone to do your dirty work for you , nicole . brady : kate , i 'm sorry , but that 's impossible . there was no one else in the house except for the servants , and they were all accounted for . plus , the alarm system was on . nobody could have gotten in . philip : there must be some explanation . somebody 's not telling the truth . i want to know who did this to my dad . bo : stay cool . that 's the only way we 're going to find our father 's killer . all right ? come here . [ scene_break ] belle : you could n't still think that my mom is the killer . she was with us at the time , shawn . that clears her . shawn - d : i agree that she could n't have killed victor . belle : so you do n't think she killed the others . marlena : does that mean you 've changed your mind about me being the killer ? because i 'm not , you know . shawn - d : well , one thing 's for sure -- the killer is very smart , and at this point , it 's someone that we would never suspect .

that was n't the feeling i got when i went to talk to melanie today . philip : what the ... why are you sticking your nose in this ? stephanie comes crying on your shoulder and you decide you got to go talk to melanie ? brady : i went to go talk to her because i was afraid , as was victor , that you 're allowing your personal life to screw things up at titan . guess what -- we were both right . philip : no , you 're both wrong . brady : because when i went to melanie 's , guess who was leaving -- e.j . dimera was leaving . he was looking very cocky , philip , as if he just flipped melanie from titan to dimera . philip : yeah , well ... he has n't . brady : that 's not the feeling i got when i talked to melanie . and , by the way , she feels that you have really strung her along , and every single time your name is mentioned , her eyes grow very cold . so i want you to cut this `` i 've got it covered `` routine and tell me how deep the hole is that we 're in . maggie : what do you think you can do , chloe ? i mean , how do you think you can make things right for lucas ? chloe : well , everything that 's happened to him -- all the pain is because of me . so i just -- i have to talk to him , be open and honest and let him decide about everything . hope : hey , sweetheart . you can go home and visit with daddy any time you want . i 've always told you that . come here . i love you . you be a good girl , okay ?

i would never have guessed it in a million years . kate : okay , i do n't understand . what do you mean `` when he disappeared `` ? why were you at cheatin ' heart ? maggie : oh . kate , uh ... i hate having to say this ... but lucas went off the wagon today . he was drunk . kate : oh , god . chloe : daniel , do you mind if i have a moment alone with lucas ? daniel : sure . chloe : i have so much to say , but no words . [ voice breaking ] i 'm sorry . i wish i were the one lying there with all these machines hooked up to me . i hurt you so badly . and all you did was love me . but ... i 'm gon na make it right . okay , lucas ?

what 's going on ? why am i in the hospital ? kate : oh , but , maggie , he has been so responsible with allie and with will . it just does n't make sense to me . it does n't . it just -- it just seems to me that there has to be something else that sent him over the edge . do you have any idea what it could be ? maggie : um ... i think that you should ask daniel . lucas : i do n't understand . chloe , what 's going on ? chloe : you do n't remember ? lucas : no . no , i mean , i guess i remember , uh , i remember being at the pub and taking a drink . oh , man , what was i thinking ? i ca n't believe i did that . chloe : no , no , no . it 's okay . take it easy . take it easy . lucas : what 's wrong with me ? why am i so sore ? chloe : you remember having a drink and then what ? you do n't remember anything else ? lucas : no , i do n't think so . i mean , why ? what happened ? did something else happen ? chloe : well , yeah , there was a gas explosion and you were hurt , but you 're gon na be okay . do n't worry . lucas : at the pub ? there was a gas explosion at the pub ? chloe : no , at daniel 's apartment . lucas : why was i at daniel 's place ? i mean , what happened ? why would i be there , chloe ? nicole : i asked you ... to protect our child and you say no ? e.j . : nicole ... neither your safety nor sydney 's safety was ever in any question . nicole : yeah , but that 's not what this is about . e.j . : look , this is a business deal , all right ? there 's nothing personal in this at all . nicole : do you think the kiriakis family cares about -- e.j . : it does n't matter . look , i 'm sorry . i do n't discuss business with you , okay ? nicole : e.j . e.j . : no , okay ? final word . excuse me . i have some calls to make . nicole : oh , god ! e.j . : nicole . nicole : just go away , e.j . e.j . : you might want to think about all of these so - called friends of yours . brady -- he got you worked up into this state over nothing . nicole : it 's not nothing . what if our baby gets hurt ? what if they try to kidnap her or kill her ? does that mean nothing to you ? i know what victor kiriakis is capable of , all right ? i know that personally . this threat is real . e.j . : i see . so you 're telling me now that when brady spoke to you , he did threaten you . nicole : no , he -- no , he was just warning me . will you stop putting this on brady ? e.j . : i did n't put this on brady . brady put this on brady . nicole , he 's manipulating you . he 's manipulating you . he works for titan industries . he 's victor kiriakis ' grandson . nicole : for god sake , it 's not brady , okay ? it 's philip . e.j . : oh , it 's philip . and here i thought it was victor . nicole : philip is a clone of that old man . he is the one that victor will send to do his dirty work . e.j . : there 's no reasoning with you , nicole . if you want to cry and work yourself up into a state , be my guest . nicole : i thought i knew you . i thought you loved me . e.j . : i 'm not the guy that you blackmail with tears . this is business . stay out of it . nicole : fine , i 'll stay out of it . and i 'll make sure sydney stays out of it . e.j . : what did you say ? nicole : i can not raise a child with a man who does n't care about her life or her mother 's . if you do not stop this fight with the kiriakis family , there wo n't be any wedding . bo : you 're talking like our marriage is n't gon na make it . hope : every time we 've had problems , the core issue has always been that you did n't trust me . bo : look , whatever the reason , we 've always made it through . hope : we always promised each other that we would never lie again , promised that we would never withhold any information again . whoops ! oh , until next time . so , you know , i have to ask , i mean , how many times do we do the same thing over and over again until we finally face the truth ? nothing is ever going to change . bo : no . i 'm not gon na let you do this . we 're talking about a lifetime together . a couple of mistakes . they 're not important . hope : oh , there 's been a lot more than a couple . and for your information , they have all been important . wow , brady . i am so tired of having to live like this . bo : look , bottom line is i love you . hope : this is n't about your love for me or my love for you . if we 're gon na get through this , i need to see -- i need to know that there 's gon na be change . right now , i do n't see a hint of that . sami : i 'm the reason you 're bummed about getting out of here ? rafe : yeah . let 's say that i get transferred to washington or miami or whatever . you know , what am i gon na do when i wake up in my new place and there 's no one there whining about the tv or the coffee or the cable or -- sami : i do n't whine . rafe : actually , you do . but you know what the funny thing is , is that does n't bother me anymore . sami : really ? i do n't think it bothers you because i do n't do it . rafe : actually , you do , but , see , you know what ? i 'm gon na miss that about you , too . how you 're so feisty and -- [ both laugh ] yeah . there 's , uh -- there 's a lot of things i 'm gon na miss about you . sami : well [ chuckles ] there 's one thing i wo n't miss -- all those sports you made me watch and how you went on and on about the bears all the time . rafe : yeah , right , as if . you 're a football fan now , and your team is the bears . sami : right . i promise from now on . so , um ... so when do you have to go ? rafe : um , right now , actually . so , i , uh [ clears throat ] well , goodbye . i 'll see you later . sami : wait , rafe . lucas : it 's just so weird . i mean , i do n't have a clue . chloe : you do n't remember anything at all after you took that first drink ? lucas : but you said i was at daniel 's , right ? chloe : yeah . lucas : and there was some kind of explosion ? why ? i mean , what was i doing over there ? chloe : well , um ... the reason you were there is -- excuse me . i need to do some tests . could you please step out ? chloe : yeah . of course . he does n't remember anything . dear god , what are you trying to tell me now ? daniel : what did you need to ask me ? kate : i 'm just trying to make sense of this whole thing . that 's all . i just -- maggie : um , excuse me . kate : you know , i talked to lucas after chloe broke off the engagement and he was -- he was torn up , but i just ca n't imagine that he would start drinking again after all of those years in a.a . i mean , it just seems to me that something else had to have happened . why on earth was he at your apartment ? daniel : you know , people do strange things when they 're drunk . i know i do . kate : yeah , that 's the truth . i do n't know . maybe i -- maybe i 'm looking for something that 's just not there . daniel : yeah , maybe . i 'm gon na go to the machines . would you like some coffee , tea , anything ? food ? kate : that 's sweet , but no thanks . daniel : okay . maggie : i do n't understand , chloe . if lucas woke up , why did n't he ? chloe : maggie , he does n't remember . maggie : anything at all ? chloe : well , no . it 's not total amnesia . he knew who i was right away . he remember being at the brady pub . he remembered having that first drink , but everything after that -- the explosion , finding out about daniel and me -- he knows nothing about it . maggie : oh , it must be a concussion . chloe : i guess . maggie : chloe , he still needs to know what happened . all of it . you are gon na tell him , are n't you ? chloe : god 's given me another chance to make this all right , so i 'm gon na do the right thing . hey . lucas : hey , you 're back . chloe : yeah . um ... lucas , i need to tell you something . lucas : just tell me , okay ? i know there 's a lot i do n't remember . just lay it on me . i can handle it . chloe : lucas , i 'm so sorry that i broke off our engagement the way i did . i was wrong , and ... i made a huge mistake . do you think that you could ever forgive me and take me back ? brady : i do n't care who you 're sleeping with , all right ? but from now on , you keep company business out of your bedroom . if you do n't , you 're history . i 'll personally see to it . philip : i told you , i 've got it under control . brady : you did n't see e.j . 's face . he 's working some kind of angle . philip : so am i . brady : so are y -- what are you talking about ? like what ? philip : what makes you think i 'd tell you anything after what you did to me ? brady : philip , this is not a game . philip : no , no , it 's business . it 's my business , and i 'm handling it . if you want to get worked up about something , why do n't you worry about yourself ? brady : [ scoffs ] meaning what ? philip : that thing you got going on with nicole . e.j . : this wedding is gon na go ahead as planned . you 're gon na marry me . and then i go ahead as planned . you 're gon na marry me . and this is my child , and you will never threaten to take my child out of this house . are we clear ? nicole : i ca n't allow you -- e.j . : no , no , no . never . now , i love you , and you love me , and nobody can deny that . it 's final . it 's irrevocable , all right ? and we 're gon na raise this child together . do you understand me ? do you understand me ? ! [ baby crying ] nicole : yes . e.j . : thank you . now , a threat ... as serious as this does not just pop up out of nowhere . something that brady said upset you . what did he say ? nicole : he just warned me about the two families . e.j . : no , no , he did n't . a reaction like this comes from something much , much more serious than a warning . so what are n't you telling me ? nicole : nothing . [ cellphone rings ] e.j . : what ? ! uh , yes , no , thank you . nicole : what was that ? e.j . : it was the fbi . seems they caught ... the guy who was feeding information to mayor marino 's killer . he was acting alone , so samantha no longer needs the witness protection agency . she 's coming home . sami : you ca n't just walk out like that . rafe : i ca n't ? sami : no . rafe : well , why ? do you got something else that you want to say to me ? sami : you did n't say goodbye to grace . things like this are important . rafe : well , i do n't like goodbyes , okay ? just -- people , they get all weird , emotional . they start crying , and that just -- i do n't like it , okay ? tears -- it 's not my thing . sami : oh , really ? then what is your thing ? rafe : just goodbye . sami : [ scoffs ] rafe : grace , uh , so long , kiddo . sami : so that 's it , right ? i mean , am i ever gon na see you again ? rafe : uh , doubtful . this is probably it . wait , you know , i just -- hold on a second . i just remembered something . hold on . hey . sami : [ laughs ] careful . what are -- rafe : look at you . there you go . i feel like a real fan now . rafe : yeah . sami : and i 'll remember -- i do n't have anything to give you . rafe : what ? no . do n't worry about it . looks good on you . [ chuckles ] you wear that in good health , okay ? i got to go . right . see ya . lucas : you want to get back together ? the engagement and everything ? chloe : yeah . lucas : really ? you do ? it 's because i was drinking . it 's because you feel responsible . you do n't have to feel guilty , chloe . chloe : no , i 'm not asking for another chance out of guilt . i 'm asking you because ... i made a horrible mistake , okay ? and i was wrong . what i did to you was so wrong , and god has given me another chance , and i 'm gon na do what 's right . lucas : are you sure ? i 'm sorry . i ca n't keep my head up . i ca n't keep focused . i 'm really tired . chloe : no , it 's okay . it 's okay . just rest , all right ? i 'll -- i 'll leave you alone . i just want you to know that i love you and i always will . kate : what are you doing in my son 's room ? bo : fancy face ... i love you . and i need you . i 'm not gon na lose you . i will do whatever it takes to make this right , so just tell me what i got to do . hope : please . just give me some space till i can figure things out . bo : hope , you can figure things out at home where you and ciara belong . i 'm not gon na stand by and watch you destroy our family . ciara : stop fighting , please . nicole : so , johnny will be happy . sami , too . so sami can come home at any time , right ? e.j . : i do n't want to talk about johnny or samantha . i want to talk about you and the fact that you threatened to take my daughter out of this house . nicole : i was scared . e.j . : do you understand that that can never happen ? nicole : yes . e.j . : and that i will always put the safety of my daughter and you ahead of my work . nicole : but the kiriakis family -- e.j . : no . do you understand that ? nicole : yes . e.j . : and that you have no involvement in my business affairs . nicole : yes . e.j . : there is one other thing , which is as important as the rest . nicole : what ? e.j . : you are to stay away from brady black . no meetings , no phone calls . to all intents and purposes , he is out of your life . bo : i 'm sorry . we did n't mean to talk like that . hope : i 'm sorry , too , sweetheart . daddy and i are not going to keep fighting . bo : it 's gon na be okay . do n't you worry . ciara : can we go now ? hope : yeah . yeah , you know what ? it 's pretty close to your bedtime . and we still need to stop by the pub and visit with caroline -- grandma , right ? and then it 's home for your bath and bed . let 's go . bo : give me a hug , little one . sleep tight . i love you . ciara : love you , too , daddy . bo : give me a kiss . hope : come on , sweetheart . chloe : kate , i 'm sorry , but i had to see him . kate : well , i hope you did n't upset him . daniel : you know , why do n't we leave you alone with him ? he should be up any minute . [ door closes ] daniel : okay , listen , we need to go over a few things . kate 's starting to put this together , and she will find out about us any time now . so we need to just put it out there and explain our relationship to people . chloe : daniel , we do n't have a relationship anymore . daniel : what ? chloe , you know -- chloe : do n't even start , okay ? there 's nothing to discuss . i am not a part of your life anymore , and you 're not a part of mine . it 's over . philip : i just want to do right by you , stephanie . you got to know that . stephanie : so you 're asking me for another chance again . daniel : chloe , i 'm not gon na let you out of my sight , not until you understand that i will never let you go . nicole : what the hell are you doing here ? sami : i came here to take my baby .	nicole tries to talk ej into dropping the alternative fuels project , even going so far as to threaten to cancel the wedding if he does n't . ej blows up , telling her that everything will be fine , and warning her to never threaten to leave with their daughter . he adds that he never wants her to see brady again . later , they both learn that sami is coming home . sami and rafe share a tearful goodbye . sami has doubts about leaving grace behind in the convent , but decides she must do so for the baby 's safety . brady confronts phillip about how he chose to deal with melanie and the fuel project . in retaliation , phillip reveals that he knows something is going on between him and nicole . bo begs hope to come home . even though ciara is in agreement with bo , hope tells him that she is n't sure she will ever be able to forgive him . chloe discovers that lucas does not remember anything that happened earlier in the day , including maggie telling him about chloe 's affair with daniel . chloe begs him to take her back , saying she was mistaken for ending their engagement . lucas agrees , and chloe later tells daniel that it 's over . kate presses maggie for answers as to why lucas was at daniel 's place , and maggie suggests she talk to daniel .

[ scene_break ] philip : you knew carly was melanie 's mother , and you never said a word , not to me , not to melanie , not to anyone . bo : it was n't my secret to share . philip : but why was it a secret in the first place , bo ? bo : carly thought if vivian knew the truth , she 'd go after melanie . philip : all the more reason not to keep it to yourself . bo , if i knew my wife was in danger , i could 've protected her . bo : we could n't risk anyone else finding out . philip : oh . well , look how well that turned out for you . you 're not one to take a risk . well , that 's not gon na happen again , because from now on , i will be making those decisions . melanie is my wife , and i 'm gon na make sure nothing ever happens to her again . [ scene_break ] carly : melanie , i only wanted to do what was best for you . when you were conceived , i was married to a very dangerous man . melanie : lawrence alamain . so ... i 'm the product of a sleazy love affair you had with my father . carly : i 'm -- i 'm not -- look , this is no excuse , but i was -- i was trapped in -- in an abusive marriage . melanie : you did n't know what he was like before you married him ? carly : lawrence was n't always like that . he got ill , and it -- it changed him . he became paranoid and -- and cruel . melanie : so you cheated on him ? carly : i 'm not proud of it , but yes . after you were born ... lawrence forced me to give you away . he told me that he would kill you if i did n't . melanie : how do i know if any of this is true ? how do i even know if you 're really my mom ? carly : they used my blood when you needed a transfusion . melanie : that could 've been a coincidence . carly : we have the same blood type . there 's only 1 % of the population that has ab negative , melanie . melanie : it still does n't prove anything . carly : you 're right . but i 'm gon na tell you something that will . [ scene_break ] kate : it sounds to me like there is n't any real proof that sydney is actually gone . stefano : no , there 's not ... nothing concrete , but the evidence is just overwhelming . ej : oh . you heard . stefano : but not from you ... you swine . why did n't you let me know , huh ? i had to hear about it from someone else -- an outsider ? ej : because you ... are an outsider . you might want to steel yourself , old man ... because i have some news for you . i 'm taking a little trip . and i 'm taking johnny . kate : [ sighs ] stefano : [ speaking italian ] you pig . ej : yeah , yeah , yeah . your words do n't mean anything . there 's nothing you can do . i 'm taking him away from this place ... and its bad vibrations .

[ scene_break ] carly : i spent years living with lawrence 's anger and abuse . then one day he just snapped , and he told me that he was gon na track you down and kill you . and i had to stop him . melanie : so you killed him ? so a man is dead because of me ? [ scene_break ] hope : honestly ... after all the years of knowing me , victor ... do you really think that i would make some kind of disgusting deal with you ... that i would let vivian off the hook and watch an innocent woman go to prison just to get my husband back ? victor : you still love him , do n't you ? hope : how i feel about bo has nothing to do with this case . i do n't work that way , and you know i do n't . victor : yes , i suppose you 're right . it 's a damn shame too . hope : what are you talking about ? victor : well , look where it 's gotten you . bo is with carly , and you ... you 're all alone .

[ scene_break ] melanie : i 'm the reason you killed your husband . carly : no . melanie : yes . carly : no . melanie : and the reason vivian hates you and the reason you came back to salem and ruined bo and hope 's marriage . carly : none of this is your fault . melanie : everything always comes back to me . i 'm a curse on everyone 's life . carly : do n't say that . melanie : i thought ...

nicole : no , i -- no . melanie : i spoke to him about you tonight . nicole : talk about burying the lede . all right , what happened ? do i really want to know ? melanie : he listened . well , he did n't tell me to shut up ... completely . nicole : oh , boy . melanie : i do n't know -- i , um , for now , i -- i would n't get my hopes up . daniel : you like that guy , huh ? parker : yeah . daniel : yeah , you 're getting sleepy ? parker : yeah . daniel : okay . parker : do n't take fred . daniel : okay . fred , huh ? yeah ... okay . it 's a miracle . well , fred , maybe you do bring good luck . kayla : hi -- oh , listen . i am sorry to have interrupted your night . serena : no , it 's -- it 's okay . kayla : uh , you know , he might be there all night . serena : he still lives for this , does n't he ? be right there until the end . kayla : yep . that 's eric . serena : he 's such a good person , and ... kayla : are you all right ? serena : yeah , i just ... i feel really ashamed about how i behaved earlier tonight . we were having such a -- a nice evening and then i started pestering him about giving me this small trinket that we bought together in africa . it just seems so petty given what he 's doing in there . i mean , i feel like such a school girl who 's attached to this thing . it reminded me of eric . kayla : well , it sounds like it was pretty important to you too . serena : well , it does n't sound like it to eric . i could n't make him understand that it was really about him and how much he means to me . kayla : well , as great as eric is , he 's still a man . so maybe he just needs a little time to think about it . he 'll see it that way . paul : i ca n't believe you 're here , i mean , how did you find me ? tori : they told me at the hotel that you might be here . paul : no , i mean why are you in salem ? tori : i saw the article . this is a difficult time for you , yes ? so your mother 's here to help . i 've come to take you home . kate : you need to get some rest . sonny : i need the truth . you knew , did n't you ? kate : i knew that will was upset about something . sonny : just do n't . do n't . kate : yes . he told me . indirectly . because he was -- he was wrecked , sonny , he was just torn up with guilt . sonny : and you think he should n't have been ? kate : no , i did n't say that . i did n't say that , and ... this might sound horrible , and it might sound like i 'm trying to justify it , but i did n't think he should tell you because what happened with paul meant nothing to him . he just got caught up in the moment , he did n't think -- sonny : you think -- you think this just happened ? kate : yes , i do . and he regretted it . sonny : kate , will slept with the man i asked to marry me . you think that 's by accident ? serena : please , god . let kayla say something to eric . let me hear from him soon . kayla : how is she ? eric : well , she 's not saying much . i -- i hope i was some ... help , you know . but , uh , do you know where serena is ? kayla : yeah , i convinced her to go back to her hotel . eric : thanks . kayla : she said that she was feeling kind of guilty and silly for something that happened between the two of you earlier tonight . eric : yeah . i was feeling kind of stupid too . i just do n't know what 's going wrong with me , 'cause when i was a priest , i had much more perspective . kayla : was n't a big fight , was it ? eric : no , it was just this little thing that serena wanted . kayla : well , i 'm sure the two of you will work it out . i 'm gon na go check on sister elaine myself . eric : okay .

nicole : damn it , theresa . do n't blame me . i could n't stop him , okay ? i did try to help him , because when we got back here , i called that heart doctor , and he did n't seem to think there was anything to worry about . theresa : nothing to worry about ? he just had a heart transplant . he just decided that over the phone ? god , i mean , i know la 's supposed to be laid- back , but do you really want a heart surgeon to be that nonchalant ? nicole : i know you 're worried about brady . theresa : ah , well , that 's an understatement . i mean , he just ran after some woman who -- who 's been in a mental institution and sounds like she should still be there . nicole : brady thinks he needs to do it for daniel . theresa : well , you know what ? he needs to stop thinking about daniel and start thinking about his son . he belongs in salem , and i 'm going to make sure that that happens . nicole : theresa , theresa , stop . you can not go after brady . theresa : like hell ! let go of me . nicole : would you just stop , please ? listen to me . now , that woman , summer , i grant you , she 's a little strange and kind of out there . theresa : yeah , you think ? trying to drown herself ? nicole : brady saved her . she seems to trust him . and he could be the one person that might be able to get through to her . theresa , he needs to know what her connection is to daniel , okay ? so let 's just -- let 's just give him some time . let brady deal with this . theresa : nicole , give it a rest , will you ? you think i care about some random stranger and her stupid secrets ? i care about brady , and he could 've died trying to drag her out of the ocean . so stay here if you want , but i 'm out of here . nicole : theresa . theresa ! [ scene_break ] brady : you and daniel -- i mean , that 's odd . summer : weird , right ? but it was definitely his theory . he said he was close to having proof that i was his sister . brady : stop . stop . wait . wait . sorry . i 'm having a hard time here . let 's go back a little bit . how did you and daniel even meet ? [ scene_break ] kayla : oh , why did you do this ? god . steve : kayla ? kayla : oh , do n't ask . she got it here somehow , and - and -- and she injected herself with morphine . steve : what ? is she dead ? kayla : no , at least she 's still breathing . steve : ava ? kayla : i do n't know . i walked in here and -- and -- and -- and pulled this needle out , and ... she had emptied the whole thing before she blacked out . steve : ava . ava , wake up ! come on . ava ! hey ! hey , listen . wake up .

[ chuckles ] brady : why ? summer : i told you . i have . my moods . -- if i do n't take my meds , i get in big trouble . daniel always pulled me back up or back down ... was more than once . he held me , he was holding me so tight because ... i think i was shattering . my whole world was black . i could n't breathe . i felt like i was drowning . all i wanted to do was give up .

[ dramatic music ] kayla : okay , they 're on their way . steve : what should we do ? kayla : well , if she stops breathing , i 'll give her mouth - to - mouth , but otherwise , there is nothing we can do . morphine is an opiate , and depresses your breathing . and -- i mean , i do n't know ; maybe she injected a full syringe , and if she did , there 's a good chance that she wo n't survive . steve : talk about off the spool . i mean , to come here and do this in our home ? kayla . listen to me . this is the last time we 're gon na have to deal with ava vitali . kayla : as long as she has a heartbeat , she 's always gon na try to wreck our family .

[ sighs ] no , brady would never let anyone drown , not when some ... wacko , but still . nicole : i get it . you 're scared . theresa : just -- i keep thinking about how i could 've lost him because of some freak , some -- some girl out of his dreams . i mean ...

ben : yeah . and she told me to take off . i did . then i got to thinking that when rafe came to , he 'd end up running her straight to the police station and charge her . could n't let that happen to her . will : so you -- you turned yourself in ? ben : they had a van there in no time . will : what 's -- what 's gon na happen to you now ? ben : i guess they 'll be moving me to death row soon . will : i mean , and there 's -- there 's nothing you can do ? ben : no , i 'm all out of appeals , man . ciara wo n't give up , but ... she knows i 'm running out of time . will : listen , i 've known ciara all of her life . and that is one stubborn woman . do n't underestimate her . ben : no , i 've learned not to do that . she even has her own theory of who really murdered jordan . rafe : i worked my butt off trying to find david 's paternal father when i started the adoption proceedings . i wanted him to sign over his rights . i could n't find him . nowhere , okay ? the guy , he , like , vaporized or something . ciara : okay , but that does n't mean that he did n't kill jordan . rafe : he wanted nothing to do with jordan . the minute he found out she was pregnant , he was gone . ciara : did she ever talk about him ? rafe : no . no . she would -- she would never say very much about him . he meant nothing to her . ciara : okay , so for all you know , things could have been really bad between them , right ? rafe : oh , my god , ciara , listen to me . there is not one shred of evidence that says he was in salem the night that jordan was murdered . ciara : so what , rafe ? you do n't have a positive i d on ben either . and this entire case has been based on dna evidence . rafe : yeah , and dna evidence does n't lie . ciara : it can be misinterpreted . and you know that . rafe : if the killer was someone other than ben , the guy must have been wearing a hazmat suit or something . ben 's dna was the only dna we found on jordan 's body , okay ? well , that and david 's . but david sure as hell did n't kill her . ciara : wait a minute . rafe : what ? ciara : my dad used to say that assumptions are the mother of all mistakes . so what if you just assumed that the dna was david 's ? what if it was really david 's father 's ? sarah : would you like me to explain the process of harvesting the bone marrow to you ? gabi : [ stammers ] well , i 'm not even -- i 'm not even sure what to do next . i 'm not in a position to really do what i want . eric : well , i 'm sure if i go to the police or the da and let them know the situation of mackenzie 's position , i 'm sure they 'll find a way to allow you to donate . gabi : right . sarah : we can start with rafe because you know him and he has clout here , so -- eric : yeah . all right , i 'm gon na do that . we 'll keep you up to date on what we find . gabi : can you just wait one -- one minute ? eric : yeah . what is it ? gabi : well , i have n't said i 'd do it . rafe : every human being gets 50 % of their dna from each parent . it 's impossible that david 's dna is an identical match for his father . ciara : but there had to have been a ton of similarities , right ? i mean , is n't it possible , just a little bit , that the forensics team made a mistake ? rafe : we tested . we tested david . it was his dna . i 'm sorry . ciara : okay , okay , well , what if -- what if jordan was with david and david 's father the night that she was killed ?

[ exhales ] there 's no new start . there 's no fresh start . there 's no new beginning for us because of the lies i told you , and you 're with brian now , so . sonny : look , i 'm really sorry with the mix - up with the mp3 player , but this thing with brian , you have to know it 's not even in the same league as you and me . [ scene_break ] brady : hey . i 'm sorry . kristen : no , do n't be . brady : no , it sounded harsh . kristen : no , it 's okay . you know what ? it was n't fair of me to do that , to put pressure on you to move in with my father and me . i mean , that was unfair . brady : no , no - no - no , that 's -- kristen : no , it was . it was . i should n't do that to you . i 'm sorry . it 's just that if it became public knowledge that stefano dimera was so weak and vulnerable , i mean , it would be just disastrous for his company and for our family , and i 'm not gon na do that to him . i guess i was just being selfish , brady , because i do n't wan na do it alone , you know ? i do n't wan na face it alone , but , since you 're not ready to get married , and i totally understand that , i do , and you do n't wan na move into the mansion . i guess i 'm just gon na have to adjust to this new reality . brady : i wish things were different , kristen . i really do . kristen : i do too . my father needs me . i 'm not gon na let him down . i have to stand by him . brady : i understand . kristen : that 's why i was kinda hoping you would stand by me . [ scene_break ] marlena : [ exhales ] your dad told me what happened , but i had to come over and see that you were okay for myself . eric : i am . thankfully , so is nicole . marlena : yes , i heard you were there too . roman did n't give me details . eric : the guy , he was an addict . he obviously , you know , he came for the money plate for more drugs . he had a gun . i did n't want to fight him , and i just started putting the money into the bag when nicole walked in . he jumped her . he demanded that she give over her jewelry , and she refused . marlena : why would you do that ? eric : because the necklace she was wearing belonged to her mother . and after that , he lost it . he started choking her . nicole : but eric stopped him , and i was so scared . i was so scared of what that psycho was gon na do to him . marlena : well , you must 've been terrified , both of you . nicole : yes , but we were really lucky . eric 's fine , but if anything happened to him -- i 'm gon na let you two finish talking . it was nice to see you , marlena . marlena : nicole . eric : you know , sami called me a couple of times . do you know what she wanted ? marlena : oh , yes . gabi had a scare last night . she went into premature labor . eric : is everything okay ? are she and the baby fine ? marlena : yes , yes , yes . they were able to get it under control in time , so she and the baby are just fine . eric : thank god . marlena : yes . i wish i could say the same for the relationships that your sister and brady are both having . eric : yeah . me too . but , maybe , brady and sami , they 'll have some sense knocked into 'em later . marlena : hm , i could only hope . and you ? are you well ? eric : yeah . i mean , all things considered . why do you ask ? marlena : oh , i always thought that you would be the son i did n't have to worry about . eric : you do n't . marlena : you sure ? [ scene_break ] sami : you are absolutely not going to keep will or his family away from that child , so you can stand there and threaten me all you like . nick : i do n't deal in threats . i deal in facts . some facts are really ugly , so ugly that people wan na keep them buried forever . sami : ugly facts , huh ? what could you possibly be talking about ? murder , for example ? nick : everything i did is out in the open . see , i got caught . i went to prison , but there 's a lot of people out there who never get caught , who never have to answer for what they 've done . sami : hm . i have no idea what you 're talking about , but what i do know is that you are not gon na keep that child away from will or his family . why ? because will is the father , not you , so the sooner you can accept your role in all of this , the sooner we can all just move on . [ inhales ] [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] will : yeah , obviously , i understand that what you and i had is not in the same league as what you and brian have because he is great . he is cool . he is a genius . he is in med school . he 's a jock . sonny : he 's not you , will . will : yep , that 's pretty much exactly what i was getting at . sonny : no , the only reason i ever hung out with brian is because you said you just wanted to be friends . will : and i said that because i did n't want you getting way down in my drama . sonny : yeah , well , i did n't want that either at the time , but , now , will , i do n't think i can be your friend . will : okay . i get it . i 'm sorry . what i wrote you in the letter freaked you out , and i -- sonny : no , no , you 're not getting it . you 're not getting it . after reading this , i just realized that even if we try , we can never be just friends . [ scene_break ] ej : samantha and i may have got off to a rocky start . we 're on solid ground now , thank you . it 's gon na stay that way . rafe : oh , yeah . of course . i mean , for all eternity , i 'm guessing , considering you 're both so stable , loyal , reliable . ej : you know , rafe , you should know that no matter how this shakes out , i 'm going to stand by samantha and william , and if this does come down to a custody battle , i think with your sister 's reputation and nick 's history -- rafe : go to hell . and take sami with you . sami : what 's going on ? [ scene_break ] brady : okay , back up . back up . listen . standing by you , that is my first priority , but , kristen , you 've got ta understand . i mean , this is coming out of left field here . since we 've been together , you 've never mentioned your father or his health , for that matter . kristen : i know . i know . my relationship with my father is extremely complex , but i certainly ca n't say no to him . i mean , not now , not when his very life depends on me being there for him . look , i just wanted you to know that if we were going to live together , then our only option would be the mansion . that 's all i was trying to say , brady . brady : and i appreciate that , kristen , but if i move into stefano dimera 's house , it 's gon na drive a knife through my dad 's heart . marlena 's gon na go berserk . my whole family is going to be disgusted . i do n't know how i could hurt them more . kristen : i know . we all have to make our choices . it 's okay . i just wanted you to know that this was why i was being so adamant about it . it 's out of duty to my father who , in spite of all the things that he 's done , and i know he 's done horrible things , he 's been there for me . he 's my father , and i do n't know how much longer i have him . i guess living together was just some kind of a fabulous fantasy of mine , huh ? brady : wait . do n't go . [ scene_break ] eric : mom , i 'm fine . i mean , why would you be so worried about me ? marlena : well , i -- i guess i 'm kind of in the habit of worrying . you know , it 's like waiting for the other shoe to drop . eric : so maybe you 'll get in the habit of not worrying about me , at least . marlena : yeah , maybe i can try that . eric : [ chuckles ] have you heard from john ? marlena : no . have you ? eric : an e - mail here and there . marlena : hm . eric : you know , maybe his silence means he 's on his way home . marlena : i hope so . eric : you know , maybe i 'll swing by the hospital and check in on gabi . as far as sami , i 'll get to her when i get a chance , and , brady , i do n't think there 's much i can really do for him at this moment . marlena : mm - hmm . well , then , make a promise to do something for me . eric : and what 's that ? marlena : please try to stay safe . eric : and what happened to not worrying ? marlena : well . [ chuckling ] nicole : i did n't know if either of you were thirsty , so i 'm just gon na leave this over -- [ cell phone rings ] eric : oh , it 's father matt . he 's wanting to talk to me . it 's probably about the robbery . if you two will excuse me . marlena : of course , honey . well . nicole : oh , marlena , wait .

[ scene_break ] ej : samantha , are you absolutely sure you want to be here today ? sami : at work ? yes , of course . why not ? ej : because you were up the entire night , my dear . you did n't sleep . you 're exhausted . sami : so are you . you were with me . ej : samantha . sami : look , i understand . i do n't have a choice . i 'm too wired to sleep after what happened to gabi , after what i almost caused . ej : what happened to gabi was not your fault , samantha . look , the doctor said she was dehydrated . if a woman had premature labor every time she got a little bit upset or angry . look , my point is there are underlying causes . there always are . when you went into that waiting room last night , you took a long time . did something happen ? sami : nick fallon happened . [ scene_break ] rafe : ca n't go in there right now . nick : why not ? rafe : because gabi 's sleeping , and the doctors said that she needs her rest , remember ? how you doin ' ? nick : i 'm fine . everything 's under control . rafe : what does that mean ? nick : you 'll see . rafe : i 'll see ? i 'll see what , nick ? what are you talking about here ? huh ? listen , let 's not forget that you 're still under parole , okay ? do n't do anything stupid . i might not be able to help you . nick : rafe , one thing i 'm not is stupid . just 'cause i 'm on parole does n't mean that i 'm not gon na protect gabi and the baby . i love them . both of them . rafe : all right . protect them how ? what 's going on ? nick : look , you have my word . what happened last night will never happen again . now , if you do n't mind , i 'm gon na go in and be with gabi , even if that means just watching her sleep .

[ scene_break ] eric : you 're leaving . where are you going ? nicole : i guess i 'm leaving because of what happened last night , because of the memories it brought up for me about my dad , and i wan na see my sister . i wan na spend time with her . eric : i understand . nicole : okay , so i 'm going . eric : you ca n't leave . nicole : why not ? eric : my dad told us he needs us both to i.d . the thief once they catch him . nicole : no . eric : no ? `` no `` what ? why do n't you just tell me what 's really going on here ?

[ haley laughs ] [ tv turns on ] jennifer : good evening , and welcome to the first salem mayoral debate of 2019 . i 'm jennifer deveraux , editor of `` the spectator , `` and i will be moderating . eve : jack , take a look at this . trask . `` put americans first `` ? i do n't think so . she wants to be first . this is fear and hate mongering at its best . she 'll stoop to anything to be elected . jennifer : and i ask that for all who are in attendance to remain silent so that we can focus on what the candidates are saying . so again , thank you for your attendance in this very important debate tonight right here in our very own horton town square . and may i say that being a resident of this wonderful city , i am honored to be moderating . so let 's begin . our two candidates will make a brief statement , we 'll take questions from the audience . an earlier coin toss determined mayor abe carver will begin . abe : thank you . it has been an honor and a privilege for me serving the people of salem . i 'd like to start by saying that as much as i feel i 've done my best to better the lives of my constituents ... haley : oh , my god . did you see melinda 's face ? she hates losing anything , even a coin toss . jj : lady does n't exude a lotta warmth . haley : [ sighs ] i 'm gon na talk to her after this . i think she definitely needs to smile more . jj : smiling once would be smiling more . haley : hey . be nice , okay ? jj : sorry . abe : and finally , i would like to say ... jj : it 's just that ... i do n't get how you 're on her side after the way she treated you . abe : having this debate ... haley : jj , i told you , she took me in and she put me through nursing school . abe : it is the heart of this community ... jj : kicked you out as soon as you became a liability . abe : where people of all walks of life come together ... haley : that 's my sister . and i know more than anybody that her career ... it 's her whole world . abe : it is a mosaic , and beliefs coexisting peacefully . [ applause ] thank you . eve : okay , jack , now i want you to listen carefully and see if this woman should be mayor . okay ? melinda : mayor carver and i do n't agree on much , but we do agree on the importance of this public space to the community . it 's a place where family and friends should feel safe to gather and live out their lives . sadly , under mayor carver 's watch , horrific crimes have been committed here , and the perpetrators have oftentimes gone free . just last summer , one of salem 's most respected citizens , dr . marlena evans , was gunned down at her own wedding right over there . as d.a . , my office and i were eager to bring the shooter to justice . it was an air - tight case . the shooter was caught red - handed on security footage . but that man is still free today . why ? because he was able to waltz into the mayor 's office and gain access to the security footage so he could delete it . thanks to mayor carver , xander cook continues to pose a threat to every citizen in this town . jennifer : mayor carver , would you care to respond ? abe : yes , thank you , ms . deveraux . what happened with xander cook was unfortunate . and i take full responsibility for the loss of that video footage . sheila : no . that 's just not right . the mayor had nothing to do with it -- it was all my fault . cook is n't just a murderer . he 's a con artist , and i fell for it . and since it is all my fault , [ laughs ] i 'm resigning , effective immediately . [ crowd murmurs ] jennifer : quiet , please . i think we need to give mayor carver a chance to respond . abe : thank you , ms . deveraux . and thank you , ms . watkins , for your offer . i do not accept your resignation . we 're only human . mistakes happen . melinda : how do you know this was a mistake ? ms. watkins is a convicted felon . abe : and she served her time . melinda : still , you 've given her access to highly sensitive materials . who 's to say that she was n't just helping out a fellow ex - con ? abe : you know , i am not surprised that you 're willing to throw out baseless accusations . during your tenure as district attorney , you made a habit of rushing to judgment . that 's why you kept prosecuting innocent people . and that 's why you ended up with a conviction rate that can only be called dismal . you never took the time to do your due diligence , because you are only interested in the win ... not in seeking justice . and something tells me that this bid for mayor is no different , that you are in this for all the wrong reasons . jj : good for you , abe . really nailed her . haley : hey , melinda scored points too . it 's still anybody 's game . abe : ms. trask has used sarcasm and innuendo to imply that my passionate belief in justice for all means i 'm soft on crime . i do n't think that i would have won the endorsement of the police department if they thought that . the officers who served under me as commissioner of police believe i would be the better mayor . and i hope you all agree with them . melinda : and i would say it 's almost criminally negligent to ignore what 's happened here . xander cook has terrorized this community and literally gotten away with murder . could it be because mayor carver is so cozy with his uncle , victor kiriakis ? a mexican drug lord was able to send a crew of his henchmen up to our town with impunity . we are all under attack . eve : [ sighs ] jack , this is disgusting . and abe 's just standing there taking it . well , i 'm not going to do it . i 'm gon na ask a question . excuse me , ms . trask -- jennifer : oh , please wait until the candidates have -- eve : you 've told us about the terrible things that were done by a member of the greek crime family and a mexican drug lord . so do n't you think it 's time you told us your position on immigration ?

[ eerie music ] [ echoing voices ] ciara : wait , stop . ben : ciara , get away -- ciara : you 're not a killer anymore , ben . you 're better than this ! jennifer : we will wait to ask questions -- melinda : ms. donovan , sit down and let me finish . jack : you 're not in court ! you ca n't just bark out orders here . a citizen has asked a question of a candidate , and you damn well better answer it . both of you . what is your position on immigration ? or more specifically , what do you think about illegal immigration ? jj : oh , god . haley : you told him ? abe : well , i believe that 's more of a federal issue . jack : okay . okay , then , ms . trask , your campaign literature paints a very scary picture of salem being threatened by an `` influx of criminals . `` so clearly , you think it 's actually a very local issue . melinda : of course it is . jack : so let 's just can it with the dog whistles and answer a very simple question . do you think illegal immigration is a clear and present danger to this community ? melinda : well , i certainly think that there are cases -- jack : yes or no ? do you think illegal immigration is a threat to the people of salem ? melinda : yes , i do . jack : and you would take a firm stance against it ? melinda : of course . jack : interesting . considering the fact that your very own sister is an illegal immigrant ... and she lives right here in salem .
