[ dramatic music ] deimos : are you okay ? caroline : [ gasps ] deimos : oh , hey ... rafe : they found his body buried in the ... in the foundation of a new building just outside of town . chad : who found him ? how 'd they know ? rafe : he was right where andré said he 'd be . chad : i , uh ... knew that it was possible , but to hear the actual words ... [ exhales ] [ clears throat ] um ... details , please . rafe : stefano 's body was positively identified . the bullets that were used to kill him came from bo brady 's gun , which , as you know , was found in andré 's luggage with andré 's fingerprints all over it . chad : andré just kept saying hope killed our father and that you helped cover it up . rafe : it 's pretty obvious why he said that . chad : where is he ? where 's my brother ? rafe : he 's in custody . chad : i want to see him . now . roman : hope . it really is time for you to come clean . you owe that to me . you owe that to yourself . hope : the truth ... you 're right . i did it . i killed stefano . roman : tell me everything . hope : i ca n't . because a lot of it 's hazy . [ sighs ] i have n't been able to recall those final moments because i blocked it out . but i do know that i shot him with bo 's gun . oh , god ... roman : hey , hey . hey , listen to me . look at me . look at me . you were dealing with so much . you were dealing with too much , and i was not there for you when you were pushed over the edge . hope : you wanted to be there for me , i would n't let you . i would n't let anyone get close to me . i did it . [ sobs ] you 're not to blame for any of this , roman . no one is . it 's me . it 's all me . oh , god ... [ gasping ] roman : tell me what happened . hope : i went to stefano to get a confession because i know that he was responsible for bo 's kidnapping . he denied it , of course . i just wanted him to admit what he 'd done . i wanted him to pay for all the destruction he 'd caused . he pushed me too far , roman . what he said about bo ... stefano : predictable to the very end . hope : awful ... cruel ... vicious things . he was try to provoke me . he was trying to humiliate me . it was like , i do n't know -- it was like he wanted me to lose it , and i lost it . [ sobbing ] [ panting ] stefano : [ laughing ] hope : i would have confessed . i would have . i would have owned up to it , but i could n't do it to ceria and chase . i just -- i could n't ... ceria had lost her father , chase had just -- roman : hey , i get it . okay , i get it . i understand . you were trying to protect your daughter , you were trying to protect chase . but damn it , why did n't you come to me from -- hope : no , i could n't ! it was bad enough that i involved rafe . i could n't drag you into it . but now that 's exactly what i 've done . now that you know the truth , will you let andré take -- take for fall for what i did ?

[ dramatic music ] caroline : wh -- wh -- ? ah ! wh -- where am i ? what happened ? deimos : you passed out in the square . so i brought you back to my room to make sure you were okay . caroline : why would you do that ? you a doctor ? why did n't you take me to the hospital ? deimos : you fainted . i did n't think it was necessary to put you through the whole admissions process just to put a cold compress on your head . besides , i thought you 'd be more comfortable here . here , why do n't you have some -- caroline : no ! i -- i do n't want anything from you . i just want you to tell me how you know dr. seth malcolm , the monster who almost tortured my son , bo , to death . andré : hello , brother . rafe : i 'll be right outside . andré : i 'm innocent , chad . you have to believe me . it was hope brady who killed our father , not me . she shot him to death in cold blood , and -- and now they 're trying to frame me . you -- you got to help me . chad , i 'm your brother . you got ta show me some mercy . chad : mercy ? i feel nothing for you but hatred and disgust , and i will not lift a finger to help you . roman : andré dimera terrorized the people in this town for a very long time and never paid for his crimes . i have no problem letting him go to prison for the rest of his pathetic life . but my brother , bo , he was a hero . he did whatever it took to protect his family . whatever it took . and now that he 's gone , that 's what i 'm gon na do . hope : [ sobs ] roman : okay .

[ chuckles ] wow , this is amazing . you know , my sources told me about you . they said that you have these strange fortune teller - like visions , is that right ? wow , i would love to know more about that , you see , i 've always been fascinated with what might be supernatural -- caroline : i 'm not gon na tell you a damn thing , 'cause i do n't trust you . i demand you let me go . deimos : [ laughs ] i 'm not holding you prisoner , mrs. brady . you 're free to leave any time you 'd like . i simply brought you here out of concern . if you 'd like to leave right now and you 're up to it , you can go . caroline : whoa -- deimos : you sure you 're okay ? caroline : i -- i 'm fine . i 'm -- i 'm fine . i 'm fine . just fine . and do n't -- do n't touch me . deimos : please . justin : you still have work to do tonight ? victor : yeah , well , who else is gon na do it ? sent philip out on his ear . i 'm the one that ends up paying the price . i 'd forgotten how mind - numbing and tedious this titan minutiae can be . justin : i might very well have a solution . victor : is it something that i want to hear ? justin : sonny 's doing a great job running titan paris . how about bringing him home and making him your right - hand man ? you can groom him to eventually take the reigns . victor : not a terrible idea . i 'll consider it . justin : good . i have some news that you might , uh ... be interested in . stefano dimera is dead . victor : yes , i 'd heard the rumor . justin : now you have confirmation . and the kicker is , it looks like andré killed him . chad : why ? [ shouts ] why ? why would you kill our father ? it could n't have been to inherit his empire , because that does n't exist anymore . was it because he did n't worship your ass and your overblown ego could n't take it , andré ? andré : i did not kill him . i was the one who was there by his side to protect him while you turned your back . so this sudden display of upset and remorse is beyond contradiction . you are a miserable disappointment to the family name and you always have been . chad : our father was amoral and dictatorial and greedy for power . he did a lot of terrible things in his life , but there was some semblance of humanity . he loved his children , his grandchildren . he had a tender place in his heart for all of us , whereas you ... you have no heart . you are nothing but pure evil . andré : you walk away from me now , brother , and you 'll regret this for the rest of your life . rafe : everything okay ? chad : just great . steve : you should n't have brought joe . hey . do n't say a word . kayla : what is going on ? roman : that 's what i 'd like to know . steve : ava 's dead . i killed her . kayla : what ? victor : i always considered stefano to be a worthy adversary . for a minute there last year , we were even allies , but i still think he 's the man behind what happened to bo and all i have to say about him is good riddance . justin : i -- i did n't think you would shed any tears over it . i doubt too many people will . do you need anything before i go ? victor : no , thanks . i 'm good . justin : good night . [ knock at door ] caroline : victor . victor : caroline . maggie told me you moved back to your house , what -- are you all right ? caroline : deimos knew dr. malcolm . victor : what ? caroline : i saw them together in a vision . victor : your visions have n't been so accurate lately . caroline : i know i 'm not wrong about this . i think deimos had something to do with what happened to bo . roman : steve . what the hell happened ? steve : i was n't gon na give that woman another chance to destroy the people i love . ava accused kayla of trying to kill her . we both know that was n't true . roman : so you kill ava instead ? do you even hear how insane that sounds ? steve : not to me . i could n't bear the thought of kayla going to prison for the rest of her life , which is what would have happened if ava had pressed charges . roman , ava was a threat that i knew would never go away . your husband called me into the room , saying that he 'd killed ms . vitali , and i confirmed that she had expired . kayla : no , you have to be mistaken . this is impossible . excuse me . kayla : joey , it 's okay . joey : no , it 's not . nothing 's ever gon na be okay again . steve : kayla , take joe home . call belle . tell her i 'm about to be arrested . joey ; no ! you ca n't do this !

[ tense music ] hope : hey . rafe : hey . hope : thanks for meeting me . rafe : yeah . what 's wrong ? hope : roman got the whole truth out of me . about killing stefano , about our cover - up . rafe : what 's he gon na do ? hope : nothing . rafe : what ? hope : he said stefano deserved to be dead and andré deserved to be in prison the rest of his life . rafe : okay , well , hey , that 's a relief , is n't it ? hope : no . rafe : no ? hope : rafe , there 's more . i was so positive that stefano was behind bo 's kidnapping , but what i were wrong ? what if i killed the wrong man ?

[ sighs ] nick : do you want to work on your calculus ? arianna : [ fussing ] gabi : no . arianna : [ cries ] nick : she okay ? gabi : yeah . arianna : [ cries ] nick : is something wrong with you ? gabi : no , it 's nothing . it 's nothing . nick : come on . gabi , i can tell when something 's up with you . what 's -- what 's -- what 's going on ? just tell me . gabi : well , i mean , you 're gon na find out sooner or later , right ? [ chuckles ] will and sonny , uh -- they 're getting married . nick : wow . [ chuckling ] wow . that 's , um ... that 's great . i 'm -- i 'm really happy for them . marlena : gabi was n't happy ? that does n't sound like her . will : no , she was happy . it 's just she thought it meant that she and ari would have to move out . marlena : well , maybe she thought you would want your privacy . will : that 's what she said . i - it 's just sonny and i -- we do n't want anything to change , whether we 're married or not . marlena : and did you tell her that ? will : yeah . she seemed to get it . marlena : but you 're not sure . will : [ sighs ] marlena : hey . this is really important to you , is n't it ? will : i want to live under the same roof as my little girl . if marrying sonny means that i ca n't do that -- marlena : no , no , i do n't think you 'll have to make that choice . and you will always have your daughter in your life . will : i grew up in a house without parents that lived together with me . i do n't want that for arianna . marlena : i understand . sweetie , you 're getting married , gabi will find somebody , and you will always share parenting , but you and gabi and arianna will not always live together . ben : you 're getting married to another guy ? sonny : yes , i am , yeah . ben : cool . i just -- i did n't know you could do that here . sonny : so you 're not from salem ? ben : no , no , i , uh -- i hit town a few days ago . sonny : okay . well , uh , why pick salem ? ben : i had a couple different reasons . rafe : so am i gon na see you later ? jordan : i 'd say the chances are pretty good . rafe : good . listen , if i do n't go in there and say hi to caroline and she hears that i was here , phew , i will never hear the end of it , all right ? jordan : okay . rafe : [ sighs ] i 'll be back . kate : rafe , look at you . now you 're walking without the cane ? rafe : oh , yeah , i am . it 's actually been banished for good . kate : oh , fantastic . jordan : so we are celebrating . rafe : yeah . yes , we are . okay , do n't start without me . jordan : okay . kate : wow . you look happy . jordan : i 'm feeling happy . kate : [ gasps ] you like it here in salem . and rafe is back to his usual self . i owe you for that . jordan : you do n't owe me anything . kate : no , i do . and if there 's one thing you should know about me , i always pay my debts . abe : hey . there 's theo and his babysitter ciara : it 's okay . you can go get him . i 'll stay back here . abe : okay . you know , uh , i hope some ice cream cheers you up . aiden : yeah , well , i 'll be headed back to the office in about an hour . yeah , just going to the police station to have a little chitchat with the d.a . all right , thanks . hello , ciara . how you doing ? ciara : you said something to my mom , did n't you ? aiden : about what ? ciara : the earrings that my cousin bought me . now she 's making me give them away . will : look , i know gabi and sonny and i ca n't all live with arianna forever . but if we were n't living together now ... i mean , this is such an important time . marlena : what i can tell you about parenting is there is no unimportant time . will : [ chuckles ] yeah . i 'm beginning to see that . you know , i look at my life ... and maybe mom and dad were n't together . but i always knew how much they cared about me ... every minute of every day . i want arianna to feel that way for me . i will never let anyone or anything come between me and my little girl . gabi : okay , so you 're happy that will and sonny are getting married ? nick : yeah . yeah . what ? you -- you seem surprised . gabi : well , you -- you did n't used to feel this way . nick : well , you know , i was messed up because of -- of what happened to me in prison , but i 'm ... past that now . you know what i mean ? if -- if sonny and will want to get married , i 'm -- i 'm glad they can . gabi : yeah , me too . nick : then why do n't you look very happy ? gabi : well , i mean , they just seem to think that everything 's gon na stay the same around here . nick : and you do n't ? gabi : people get married so that they can live alone together . i mean , that 's what i wanted . nick : yeah . i remember . but you and will have a little girl now , and that -- and that makes things different . and i 'm sure sonny and will have thought this all through . do n't you think ? kate : i know that , uh , you 're aware that i felt guilty and responsible for what happened to rafe . and , um , of course , you know that we were involved before the attack , and now we 're not ... because we both knew that what we had was based on living in the moment and no expectations for the future , but even that was too much for my ex - husband . rafe almost paid with his life for that . so , anyway , i hope that you understand that i still feel protective towards rafe . jordan : yeah , i - i guess i do . kate : good . anyway , i have one more thing that i 'd like to ask you to do for me . jordan : and what 's that ? kate : i want you to promise to never , ever hurt him . jordan : well , that 's not a problem . all i want to do now is make rafe happy . kate : good ... because if you do n't , i 'll -- rafe : you 'll what ? hmm ? what 'll you do ? sonny : all right , ben , well , it was very nice meeting you . just go ahead and fill out your application , list your experience , and you can leave it at the bar , and i will give you a call one way or the other . ben : congratulations again on the engagement . sonny : thank you . kate : i was going to say that i would be very disappointed if you were unhappy because you deserve the very best . rafe : oh . well , thank you . so do you . kate : thank you . jordan : so how is mrs. brady ? rafe : great . god , i wish i had her energy . kate : [ chuckles ] rafe : [ chuckles ] jordan : well , i think you 're doing just fine . all right , um , i said i would wait for you to get out , but i really have to get going , so ... rafe : oh , okay . jordan : okay . rafe : i 'll see you later ? jordan : you bet . mm . kate , it was good to see you again . kate : oh , it 's so good seeing you too . bye . [ chuckles ] rafe : [ chuckles ] well ... you and jordan seemed to be having a rather serious conversation . kate : well , actually , i was doing all the talking . rafe : oh . about what ? kate : well , you heard some of it . i was telling jordan that i hope she makes you happy . rafe : mm . it seemed kind of like a warning to me . kate : because that 's exactly what it was . rafe : oh . kate : mm - hmm . rafe : [ chuckles ] aiden : [ sighs ] hi . hope : you 're back . aiden : yeah , i had to take care of something for a client . [ sighs ] i think i owe you an apology . hope : you think ? aiden : my rant about the earrings ... it 's none of my business . hope : [ clears throat ] i agree . aiden : so i ran into ciara in the square . she let me know what she thinks of me . hope : i 'm sure she did . aiden : mm . hope : she 's a pretty unhappy little girl these days . aiden : yeah . and she also told me that , uh , you were not the one who bought her those earrings , so ... i apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion . hope : and while you 're at it , how about apologizing for not allowing me to explain before you rushed to judgment ? aiden : okay , i admit i was a jackass . but believe me -- i understand how hard it is to raise a child in this crazy world . hope : apology accepted . will : did i tell you arianna wo n't let me feed her with a spoon anymore ? marlena : no , no , she wants to hold it herself ? will : yeah , let me tell you something . she sucks at it . [ both laugh ] will : but she does n't care . and -- and i 'm thinking to myself , `` if she 's like this now , what 's she gon na be like when she 's 14 ? `` marlena : oh , my gosh . you know what ? the only way to make sure that she makes good decisions , lives her best life , is to make a perfect example in your own life . honey , i 'm so pleased about you and sonny . and you know what else ? you and gabi -- you 'll work this thing out . will : thanks . i should get going . [ clears throat ] marlena : oh . both : mm . marlena : [ chuckles ] will : [ sighs ] i know that i have to live my own life ... but knowing and doing are two very different things . i still want to do everything for arianna . marlena : and she 's telling you that she wo n't always let you . and it 's perfectly fine for you to want to . will : [ chuckles ] marlena : go . nick : i got to tell you . i think this baby likes me . gabi : [ chuckles ] i do too . [ cell phone rings ] gabi : oh . nick : is that right , ari ? gabi : [ sighs ] hello ? oh , hey , t. what 's up ? tad : i 'm sorry . i 'm not gon na be able to take you to that concert after all . gabi : oh , uh , really ? why not ? tad : uh , the tickets that i thought i had , uh , fell through . gabi : well , uh -- well , you ca n't help that , so , uh ... maybe another time . tad : um , yeah , i got to go . the club 's getting crowded . nick : is everything okay ? gabi : oh , yeah . it 's no big deal . t , uh -- t just said he could n't get tickets to the concert -- that 's all . nick : what ? florence welch is gon na be on that stage . you love her . gabi : i know . it 's okay , though . i mean , there 's nothing i can do about it . he just ca n't get the tickets . nick : you know what ? [ sighs ] now that i 'm working for kate again at mad world , i feel like she might be able to get us a couple . gabi : you really think so ? nick : i do n't know . what do you think ? aiden : okay , well , uh , i 'm glad we talked . hope : yeah , yeah , me too . aiden : okay . [ sighs ] well , you know , maybe me shooting my mouth off was a -- was a good thing . hope : how do you figure that ? aiden : well , it did get you to rethink letting ciara keep all that stuff , so ... hope : oh , hold on a second . i just want to make something clear right now , okay ? your interference had nothing to do with my decision . aiden : uh , i do n't know if you remember , but when i walked in here , ciara was telling you how great you were for letting her keep all that stuff , so maybe -- hope : do you have any idea ... how sick and tired i am of your smug , self- righteous judgments about my daughter and me ? because the only time you were right -- correct about anything today is when you said the situation was none of your business ... because it damn well is n't . aiden : oh . yeah . sonny : oh . will : hey . sonny : hey . so how 'd your grandmother take the news ? will : she 's very happy for us . you know , you are gon na have to start calling her grandma too . sonny : that is not gon na happen . will : you know , i 'm glad i confided in her about you proposing , because she was the one that convinced me i wanted to do it . sonny : i knew i liked her . will : [ laughs ] i just wish your mom was as enthusiastic . sonny : i know . but she wants us to wait , and i guess she 's entitled to her own opinion . will : but you 're not having second thoughts , right ? sonny : do i look like i 'm having second thoughts ? i feel like the luckiest man in the world . mm . will : all right , well , i should get going . i promised my great - grandmother that i would take her to quilting group . sonny : you 're such a good boy . will : ah , stop . see you later . sonny : okay , get out of here . tad : hey . congratulations . will : thanks , t . tad : yeah . [ sighs ] so you know i 'm really psyched about you and will , right ? sonny : of course . tad : so i have something to say . do n't let nick fallon screw everything up for you . nick : [ laughs ] huh ? so , if -- if i can get us tickets , are -- are we on for the concert ? what ? gabi : well , maybe it 's not such a good idea for us to go out . nick : what , because of -- because of will and sonny ? gabi : well , i - i just think that they wo n't see how understanding and forgiving that you 've been to me . nick : hey , honestly , i 'm the one who needs to be forgiven for -- for what i did to you , so ... i get where they 're coming from on that , and , you know , now that they 're gon na be married , sonny 's kind of gon na be like ari 's stepfather , you know ? so they 're probably just ... you know , feeling protective of her . you know what i mean ? hey , here 's your mommy . gabi : hey . nick : anyway , i 'll let you finish your homework . gabi : thanks . thanks for bringing my notebook back . nick : yeah , no problem . no problem . i 'll , uh ... i will talk to you soon . all right ? gabi : say `` bye . `` nick : bye . bye , baby . bye , ari . bye . gabi : [ sighs ] i do n't care what will and sonny want . mommy is not gon na lose you ... no matter what . rafe : you do n't need to look after me . i 'm a big boy . and i 'm also a really good judge of character . jordan 's not gon na hurt me . kate : okay . rafe : okay . kate : i was just ... concerned because she seems so close , you know , so secretive . but obviously , she 's not that way with you . okay , i just wanted to stop by and say hello , but i do need to get going , so ... rafe : well ... take care . kate : you take care too . [ sighs ] you poor thing . jordan has n't told you anything . [ scoffs ] jordan : [ gasps ] | marlena confronted kate about hiring nick . nick made it seem like he was talking to gabi while t was listening . will and sonny told gabi that they were getting married . she was happy for them and wanted to know when they wanted her to look for an apartment . nick apologized to t for his conversation . t was upset that nick and gabi talked about her . nick manipulated t into not telling gabi about the conversation . will and sonny said gabi could stay in the apartment , but she said she and the baby were n't staying there . hope and aiden got into an argument over the jewelry that sami bought for ciara . nick told t that he had another chance with gabi . t was surprised by that , but thought he was better off if she was dumping him for nick . |
nicole : hello . do n't worry . henderson assured me the coast is clear . grandpa vlad is at the office . i am here to brighten your day . brady : well , it does n't need brightening , but okay . nicole : a.k . whitmore 's in the news again . but not for another corporate takeover . no . he is making license plates in federal prison . you will not be hearing from him for another 15 to 20 years . brady : love it . nicole : yes . brady : love this . thank you so much for showing me this . nicole : mm - hmm . well , no wonder your day did n't need brightening . you two look disgustingly happy . brady : [ chuckles ] we are . nicole : well , i 'm happy for you , brady . thank god you kicked that skank , theresa , to the curb where she belongs . theresa : where do you think you 're going ? melanie : home . theresa : not until you tell me what the hell you 've been up to . melanie : what are you talking about ? theresa : you know what i 'm talking about . dr. mandrake . chad : i guess i 'm just trying to figure out how important this all really is to you . i 'm trying to figure out exactly what you would be willing to do to keep ben out of prison . abigail : what do you think , chad ? chad : i think you have a weakness for bad boys . me . my brother . i wonder how much longer a decent guy like ben can even hold your interest . abigail : are you going to send ben to prison or not ? chad : well , that , abigail , is completely up to you . jordan : it 's not just talk is it ? you really do love ben . clyde : of course i love him . he 's my son . it would tear my heart out if ben got sent to prison . paige : i 'm so done with you . cole : hey . paige : cole . cole : are you okay ? paige : yeah . yeah . i 'm great . daniel : yeah , her name was roxanne something . starts with a t . jennifer : not roxanne trenton ? daniel : yes . that 's it . yeah . you know her ? jennifer : yeah , i know her . there is no way that she and jj are seeing each other . daniel : jenn , jj told me they 're dating . he even said he wanted to introduce roxanne to paige . jennifer : what ? daniel : what ? what do you mean , `` what ? `` what is wrong ? jennifer : no , i have known her since she and jj went to boarding school together . there is no way that they are together right now . so either there 's a huge misunderstanding , or someone is lying . jj : thanks so much for your help , rox . roxanne : you sure you 're okay ? jj : yeah , paige bought that you 're the girl that i 've been seeing , so ... now she 'll just drop it and move on . roxanne : so who 's the lucky girl that you 're actually hooking up with ? daniel : jenn , i assure you , i did not misunderstand . jennifer : no , it does n't make any sense . jj and roxanne are friends . he has never been interested in her . daniel : maybe things changed . jennifer : maybe . i mean , they used to hang out together . but jj made it very clear they were just friends . i mean , it was obvious . roxanne even knew that . he has not mentioned her in years . i think she 's in chicago going to loyola . daniel : chicago 's really not that far . jennifer : all right , i realize i may not know every move my son makes , but i would know if he were going back and forth to chicago . and why was he being so secretive if he was seeing someone that i knew ? daniel : well , maybe he thought you would n't approve ? jennifer : okay , granted , roxanne was not a good influence on jj . in fact , she was a terrible influence . but i got to know her parents . i mean , we even kept in touch for a while . daniel , i am telling you right now . something else is going on . eve : who the hell are you ? roxanne : who are you ? jj : what the hell do you think you 're doing , eve ? eve : what , is this your latest victim , jj ? huh ? brady : now nicole ... we 've both been called mean names before . nicole : yes , and i deserved them . and so does theresa . what ? she tried to kill your father . and she lied about being pregnant with your baby . okay , i ca n't throw stones on that one , but still . why are you defending here ? brady : last night , somebody spiked my coffee with booze . nicole : who ? why ? brady : it does n't matter . that 's not the point . the point is , theresa found out about it , and she knocked it out of hand before i could take a sip . nicole : she 's probably the one who spiked it . brady : she was n't . nicole : mm - hmm . well , she must have had an ulterior motive . brady : i actually think she was just doing a good deed . nicole : i 'm sorry , but the name , `` theresa , `` and `` good deed `` do not belong in the same sentence . so what 's in it for her ? unless ... she still has feelings for you . brady : maybe she does . melanie : who is dr. mandrake ? theresa : i told you , i do n't know . but first you ask me about him , and then clint dropped a piece of paper at my place with the guy 's cell phone number , so ... melanie : did you call it ? theresa : of course . melanie : and ? theresa : well , he answered . but then he hung up as soon as he found out it was me , and -- the guy 's a total creep and now he wo n't answer his phone at all . melanie : if he 's a creep , why are you trying to call him ? theresa : because i 'm trying to track down clint . melanie : i thought you dumped him . melanie : that 's what you told my dad . theresa : he owes me money , okay ? not that it 's any of your business . but i need to get back in touch with him . so if you know anything , please tell me . nicole : there is definitely something sketchy about your dr. mandrake . check it out . melanie : i overheard clint on the phone talking to dr. mandrake , and i was curious . that 's all . theresa : why ? what are you not telling me ? jordan : it 's just really hard for me to believe what you 're saying . clyde : yeah , well ... you must think i do n't have a human bone in my body , but i get that . you know ? out of all the terrible things that i 've done in my life , there 's only two that i really regret . taking my anger out on ben . and ... what i did to you , jordan . that is absolutely unforgivable . jordan : yes , it was . clyde : so i do n't ask forgiveness for that . but i still have a chance with ben . and for that i 'm grateful to you . 'cause i know that i have that chance because of you . abigail : what are you trying to say ? that if i sleep with you , you 'll drop the charges against ben ? you make me sick . chad : ah , do n't you want to prove me wrong ? abigail : prove you wrong about what ? chad : when i said that jordan was better in bed than you are . chad : [ laughing ] abigail : it 's not funny , chad . chad : oh , you did n't think i was serious . abigail : how could you even joke . you know me . you know i would never -- chad : do i ? see , i was n't sure just what you would be willing to sacrifice to protect your little benny . [ laughs ] abigail : you 're gon na do it , are n't you ? chad : do what ? abigail : you are so angry . you are so vindictive . you ca n't forgive me or jordan for dumping you . so you 're going to send ben to prison just to get back at us . jordan : what are you talking about ? clyde : well , as angry as i was at you for keeping my boy away from me all those years ... i 've come to realize that you did the right thing . if you had n't , i 'd have destroyed us all . jordan : that 's right . you would have . clyde : and as much as i wanted to be a good daddy -- and damn it , i tried -- i was n't in any shape to take care of the two of you . i could n't even take care of myself . now , i know it pains you to see me and ben trying to make peace . but you have n't stood in the way . and for that , i 'll be forever thankful . we got a ways to go , but right now it is the most important thing to me . and if my boy ends up in prison , i know it 'll be all my fault . ben : that 's not true . nicole : well , i understand . i had a hard time getting over you myself . well , it sounds like theresa was after more than just your money , after all . brady : i did n't think she had any use for me sober . she was really bitter when it ended , too . nicole : maybe it was because she really cared ? brady : maybe it was . nicole : and how does that make you feel ? brady : i feel sorry for her . people do n't think she has a heart , nicole , but she does . i mean , somewhere in there . nicole : and you ca n't wait for her to give it to someone else . brady : i 'm just glad that i do n't have to see her that often . i mean , she and melanie work together , but it 's a big hospital . and i do know that melanie wants to steer clear of her as much as she can . nicole : are you sure about that ? melanie : why would i be keeping anything from you ? theresa : why would you be asking me about that dr. mandrake guy when i was with clint ? melanie : i was curious . theresa : you 're a lousy liar . melanie : you know what , theresa ? how could you tell brady you were pregnant with his kid and think you 'd get away with it ? theresa : i honestly thought that i was pregnant . melanie : well , thank god you were n't theresa : you know what ? this is painful enough for me without you throwing that in my face . and just because you 've hooked up with brady , do n't think that it 's going to last , because he 's a player , you know . melanie : and you 're really jealous . theresa : of you ? please . brady : you want to start over ? but i 'm with mel now . theresa : oh , my god , no . i did n't mean like that . i just -- i know , i know you 're -- i meant as friends . brady : okay . theresa : hey , when you were with brady last night , did he happen to mention my name ? melanie : no . why ? theresa : well , never mind . you know what ? you just stay the hell out of my business . melanie : as long as you stay the hell out of mine . cole : are you sure you 're okay ? because you look a little -- paige : not okay ? cole : a little upset . paige : i said i 'd meet my mom later , and i wish i had n't . not exactly the best company right now . cole : then do n't . paige : you know what ? you 're right . i 'll text her and suggest we do it another time . cole : so what are you gon na do instead ? paige : oh , i do n't know . cole : you want to talk about it ? paige : sure . jennifer : when jj said that he had been with someone besides paige , he said he hated her . and that is definitely not roxanne . daniel : maybe he 's moved on . all right , jenn , all right . what do you think is going on ? jennifer : i do n't know . i -- oh , my gosh . daniel : hmm ? jennifer : but i guarantee you it has something to do with eve . roxanne : jj , this lunatic is manhandling me . are you even gon na tell me who she is ? eve : i 'm paige 's mother , you little slut . roxanne : excuse me ? eve : so this is `` the girl `` ? jj : yeah . she is . eve : jj , you have made my daughter 's life miserable . both of you ! roxanne : get over it already . eve : oh , excuse me ? get over it ? you knew that my daughter was seeing him . you knew that . it did n't bother you how much pain she was going through , did it ? you both have ripped paige 's heart right out . jj : all right , you know what ? stop it ! eve : no . i 'm just getting started , jj . i 'm just getting started . clyde : hey ! what are you doing here ? i thought you had class . ben : my professor canceled . clyde , i do n't see how you can think it would be your fault if i went to prison . clyde : well , i 'm afraid you inherited my temper , son . jordan : do n't say that . clyde : i mean , i gave you plenty to be angry about growing up . and i did n't provide any good example for you . but i know you 'd never do what i did . you 'd never hurt anyone you cared about . ben : no , just a jackass like chad dimera . and why are you so worried about me going to prison now ? what , did chad decide he 's gon na end up pressing charges , after all ? jordan : i have n't talked to chad . clyde : but abigail -- ben : what about abigail ? chad : i promised you and jordan that i was n't going to press charges against ben . why are we even having this conversation ? abigail : well , you 're always a man of your word , are n't you ? chad : i 'm not going back on my word . abigail : then why did n't you just say that to me the first time ? chad : because you were so determined to think the worst of me . jordan dumped me , so i have to , what , have revenge on her brother ? is that the dimera way ? well , i did n't want to disappoint you , abby . abigail : you have n't . chad : okay , good . then run along and tell ben he still has his little get - out- of - jail - free card . abigail : no . first , i want to ask you a question . and i want you to tell me the truth . cole : i thought maybe you were mad at me . paige : no . why would you think that ? cole : i have n't seen you lately . since that time we told jj i took his phone , anyway . i thought maybe you were avoiding me . paige : you know what ? let 's not waste time talking about jj . cole : okay . so what do you want to talk about ? paige : well , i was thinking ... maybe you 'd want to hang out sometime ? daniel : eve ? where does that come from ? jennifer : she was so determine to break up paige and jj , so if roxanne showed up , after all these years , i guarantee you , she made it happen . daniel : yeah , but you just said jj was n't interested in roxanne . jennifer : right . but she was interested in him . daniel : do n't you think this is all just a little bit of a stretch here ? jennifer : maybe . but eve is responsible for a lot of bad things that have been happening in our lives lately . come on , jj was head - over - heels about paige , so eve lied to get her out of town . and i could never understand why he would be so quick to move on unless eve made sure that there was someone here waiting for him . roxanne . so all i have to do is figure out how in the world she -- daniel : you just need to stop ! jj : mrs. larson , you are just as responsible for paige 's broken heart as anyone else .

are you following me ? eve : [ scoffs ] get over yourself , jj . this is a public space , all right ? i was looking for paige , by the way . jj : she 's gone . eve : well , what do you mean , she 's gone ?

jennifer : hi . marlena : hi there . thank you for agreeing to meet me . jennifer : oh , that 's okay . you do n't have to thank me . i would have come sooner , but i was working on a story in chicago . marlena : hmm . jennifer : you said it was about eric . marlena : yes . he 's been paroled . jennifer : yeah , i know . marlena : how do you know that ? jennifer : i saw him at the hospital a couple of days ago . marlena : what was he doing at the hospital ? jennifer : well , he really did n't want to talk about it , and , uh , did n't want to talk about why he was granted parole . why do you seem so down ? marlena : eric is still not doing well . [ birds chirping ] eric : i do n't know why i thought i needed firewood . it 's like hot in here . need to get somebody to look at that boiler .

nicole : no , i -- i got this . putting my life with deimos in a cardboard box is actually very satisfying . brady : i need to see you . nicole : well , i just finished packing my last box . where are you ?

i 'll meet you in the square after work . there 's an arcade a couple blocks away . lani : okay . jj : all right . gabi , hi . gabi : got your message . lani : i 'll see you later . jj : all right . thanks for coming . i have some questions for you . gabi : so are you hanging out with lani tonight ? jj : you heard ? gabi : here 's a little tip , try not drinking so much this time . marlena : eric is still riddled with guilt about daniel . jennifer : the daniel that i knew would never want eric to feel that way . marlena : i know . i 've tried telling him that , but he wo n't listen . jennifer : marlena , i was in that accident . that icy road was as responsible as eric was for what happened with daniel . marlena : would you talk to him ? i can tell you where he is . jennifer : if he wo n't listen to you -- marlena : he will -- i think he will listen to you . jennifer : why ? marlena : because you were both so close before he went to prison , and i think he still has feelings for you . nicole : you ca n't stop me from doing anything . get out of my way . please , get out -- hey ! deimos : nicole , just listen . nicole : i should have stopped listening to you a long time ago . deimos : please . now i admit bribing the judge , it was n't my smartest play . i should have known that it could backfire . nicole : yeah , you should have . you cost me my child . deimos : just tell me how you want to handle your next move with chloe , and i 'll make sure it happens . and we can forget about justin . i 'll get you the best custody lawyer in the country . nicole : no , no . what do i have to say to get it through your head that i do n't want you help ? i do n't want anything to do with you . deimos : nicole , stop . you know how much i love you . nicole : really ? you 're so full of love that you lied to my face ? deimos : i already said that i should have told you about the judge . nicole : you know , when i found out that you had dario beat up and andré poisoned , you swore to me that you would n't do anything like that again , and while you were swearing that you knew that you had chad and gabi freezing to death . you will never , ever change ! deimos : i promised you that i would never threaten another person 's life again , and i made good on that promise . nicole : are you a pathological liar or just delusional ? deimos : what ? am i wrong ? chad and gabi , they 're fine . nicole : after they got out of the hospital . deimos : i had no intention of letting it go on much longer . nicole : no , right , and , you know , i believe that because you do n't lie . deimos : nicole , you have to see the bigger picture . i was trying to protect my family . nicole : hmm . i must have read the situation wrong , because it looked to me like you were trying to make more money than andré and eduardo . deimos : again , for my family . because as you know , they mean everything to me . you once told me that you loved that about me . nicole : yes . but that 's before i knew i had a baby of my own and a chance to have a family . but that 's gone now , deimos , because of you . jennifer : marlena , i do n't -- i do n't believe that eric still has feelings for me . the night of his sentencing , he and i -- when we were comforting each other -- it 's not something that i like to remember , and i know that you did n't approve , and i do n't blame you one bit . but i was -- i was so high on pills , and he was drinking , and we just made for a really bad combination . marlena : i agree . jennifer : and he -- he tried to show me that i had a problem , but i was in complete denial . so when i finally decided to get off of all of these meds , it was partly because of him . so i went to prison , to where he was , because i wanted to thank him . and he would n't see me . he did n't want to see me . he did n't even want to answer my emails . marlena : oh . he probably thought that was best for you . but whenever i saw him , he always asked about you . he never forgot you . eric : i 'm sorry . you should get off those pills . i want you to live your life , and you love that family . jennifer : mm - hmm . yeah , i 'm gon na try . jj : lani knows i respect her , and i 'm going to treat her right this time . not that it 's any of your business . gabi : so what are these questions you wanted to ask me . jj : what do you think ? you were kidnapped . gabi : i already gave a statement to the cop at the hospital . jj : my lieutenant wanted me to talk to you because he thought you might have remembered something more . i was thinking maybe there were things you did n't want to say to a uniform cop you do n't know . gabi : i mean , why would i tell you things i would n't tell him ? because we had a thing together ? jj : i was thinking maybe you want justice . gabi : jj -- jj : you did n't say who locked you up , gabi . gabi : yeah , it was some goon , okay ? jj : we both know deimos paid him to do that . you can trust me . all you have to do is say his name , and i can lock that bastard up today . to do the best jennifer : i 'm really surprised you 're asking for my help . marlena : well , it 's a different time , is n't it ? and you 're -- you 're both sober , are n't you ? jennifer : absolutely . marlena : you go to meetings ? jennifer : lucas and i have a standing date . marlena : once a week ? once a month ? jennifer : are you vetting me ? because if you think that i 'm bad for eric -- marlena : no , no , no , honey , it 's not that . i know you 're in recovery right now , and i do n't want to do anything that might jeopardize that . jennifer : you know , when i decided to stop taking all those pills , i just -- i just stopped , and you know what happens . marlena : you were sick to your stomach obviously . jennifer : oh , yeah , and pain in parts of my body that were not even injured . marlena : that 's opiates . jennifer : and i knew that i had to just wean myself gradually . and the last week that i took that half a pill , i knew it . i knew that no matter what , i was never going to take another one . so please believe me when i tell you that i am fine now . marlena : it 's the same way that eric feels about alcohol . he treasures his sobriety . it 's the one thing he thinks he -- he 's able to feel proud of . and i would n't do anything to get in the way of that . jennifer : no , and neither would i . so how can i help ? gabi : i 'm sorry , jj . the guy who kidnapped chad and me and threw us in that meat locker was the only man we ever saw . jj : he was long gone before you were found . he say anything that might connect him to deimos ? gabi : why does he have to be working for somebody else ? what if he knew chad was rich and he just wanted to get a ransom ? look , if i knew something , i would tell you , but i do n't . i 'm scared to death that that guy 's out there running free . jj : it 's kind of a coincidence sonny got kidnapped soon after you did . gabi : i mean , he comes from a rich family , too . so you know what , yeah , maybe it was a plot . jj : i know what you 're doing . gabi : what am i doing ? jj : there was some kind of plot , and you knew your father was in on it . he had sonny kidnapped , right ? gabi : why would he do that ? jj : to pressure deimos into giving up where he had you and chad locked up . gabi : no , it was probably the same psycho creep that got chad and me , okay ? why are you trying to pin this on my dad ? rafe : cut the crap , gabi . enough with the lies . enough . deimos : you do realize that if it had n't been for me , you would n't even know that holly is your child . nicole : are n't you sick of reminding me of that ? because i 'm certainly tired of reminding you that if it was n't for you , chloe would have told me about holly as soon as she got pregnant with my child , and she and i could have experienced this whole thing together , and i would have a daughter now , and chloe and i would probably still be friends . deimos : you could n't possibly know that could happen . i mean , chloe 's clearly not a stable , reliable person . nicole : well , she is n't now , that 's for sure . deimos : and given that fact , you 're gon na let her come between us ? nicole : what 's come between us is you . you just refuse to see it . and you know what , i really like a guy who knows how to play dirty . i mean , i fell in love with ej dimera for god 's sake . but when i found out you put two innocent people , two people with small children in a meat locker , i said to myself , `` girlfriend , it is time to draw the line . `` i was done . i was done ! now get out of my way . no , deimos , let me -- deimos : you wo n't be able to do this , nicole . we 're in each other 's blood , you know that . nicole : i did love you . and i liked that you had a dark side , but now it just scares me , and worse it just creeps me out . so please , just let me go . deimos : i wo n't let you go , nicole . nicole : you do n't have a choice . and if i was n't clear before , i quit . [ somber music ] gabi : i am telling the truth . rafe : he 's not worth protecting , gabi . gabi : i 'm not doing that . rafe : i already know what happened , okay ? i know that deimos got his hands on a device called the orwell , named after the author of the book `` 1984 , `` okay ? gabi : i never read that . jj : well , i looked it up . `` 1984 `` is a futuristic novel where people 's lives are spied on continuously by a force known as big brother . rafe : yeah , that 's it . so the only problem is that when deimos got his hands on the device , the device he was gon na use to take over the world , it was already broken . so he went to the inventor and he told him he better fix it , and if he did n't he was never gon na see his beloved wife again . but guess what happened . the inventor ended up in a titan industries packing crate on his way to salem . jj : but when deimos got to the docks , he found out someone else had already been there first . rafe : mm - hmm . jj : crate was empty , and the inventor was nowhere to be found . rafe : so naturally deimos blamed his enemies , andré dimera and eduardo hernandez . and soon after that , you and chad ended up in a meat locker . and then , would n't you know it , sonny was abducted , and you and chad were set free . so yeah , naturally i like dad for what happened to sonny . gabi : so let me get this straight . you 're gon na -- you 're gon na put him away , our father ? is that what you 're doing ? rafe : i just might . jj : but who we really want is deimos . rafe : you were already inside , gabi . you know what it 's like , and you 've got arianna to think about . do n't get any deeper in this than you already are . just tell us what you know . dario : you gotten a little rusty on the miranda rights ? you do n't have to tell him anything . [ pounding on door ] chloe : what do you think you 're doing ? daniel : i wanted to make sure you heard me . chloe : the baby is asleep . deimos : all right , i 'm sorry , but we need to talk . i 'll keep my voice down . chloe , what would it cost you to hear me out ? chloe : fine , but you ca n't come in . deimos : nicole just broke up with me for good . she also resigned her position from basic black , which means you could stop playing this game and give her her daughter . chloe : and once i do that , you 'll work on her and get her to forgive you ? deimos : believe me , it 's not gon na happen . chloe : and i 'm just supposed to take your word for it ? you know what , it does n't matter whether you 're with nicole or not because i have full custody of holly now , and she 's doing beautifully with me and parker , and we love her to pieces . daniel 's children and i are now a family . deimos : do you honestly believe that nicole is just gon na stand by and let you take her daughter ? then you do n't know her very well . chloe : it does n't matter what she does or what you do , 'cause nicole will never have holly back . deimos : yeah , that 's what you think , crazy bitch . [ tense music ] nicole : brady , i 'm -- i 'm sorry i 'm late . when i got off the phone with you , deimos showed up . brady : what happened ? nicole : he said he would n't let me go , and i said like hell , and , well , you get the picture . brady : i 'm sorry . nicole : i had a really crap day . brady : yeah , i 'm about to make it crappier , nic . nicole : oh , wonderful . brady : i talked to chloe . she 's moving . nicole : you 're kidding . back to her place in chicago ? brady : no , to her mom 's place in new york . nicole : what ? brady : she 's leaving tonight . nicole : well , she -- she ca n't do that . brady : she thinks -- she thinks she can . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . nicole : well , you know what , that 's okay . i 'm okay . if chloe 's going to live in new york , then that 's not a problem . brady : why ? nicole : because i 'm looking for a new job , and i 'll just look for one in new york , and i always thought it would be cool to live there . brady : you 're willing to do that ? nicole : would n't you follow tate to the ends of the earth ? brady : yeah , i would . nicole : that 's how i feel about holly . jennifer : eric ? eric , are you here ? eric : jenn . jennifer : sorry . the door was unlocked . eric : jenn , you have to go . you never should have come here . take one of those pillows and take a big smell . to go at me like that ? jj : no . gabi : so are you and lani gon na see if there 's anything there ? i mean , besides the drunken sex ? jj : do i get to ask about you and chad being found with no clothes on ? gabi : i 'm sorry about the cracks i made about you and lani . chad and i are none of your business . jj : see , i do n't agree , since chad is married to my sister . gabi : nothing happened . okay , nothing -- we took our clothes off , some of our clothes because skin - to - skin contact makes it easier to share body heat . jj : is that what chad told you ? that 's a good one . gabi : you 'd rather i just , what , freeze to death ? jj : no . gabi : chad went home with abigail . she 's his wife , and i respect that . just back off . dario : you know , there is no way that you can connect me or dad to what happened with sonny , otherwise you would n't have been giving gabi the third degree . rafe : yeah , it 's funny though because i have n't heard you deny it or say that you did n't have sonny abducted . dario : uh , uh , even if we had , could you blame us ? that was our sister out there . deimos was gon na let her die . rafe : i really do n't want to have my brother or father arrested . dario : do n't worry , it 's never gon na come to that . rafe : mm - hmm .

[ tense music ] gabi : it does n't mean that i approve of what you did . dario : that got out of control . gabi : you think ? because your guy did n't just kidnap sonny , okay ? he beat the crap out of him , and you know how much sonny means to me and arianna . dario : we had to force deimos into telling us where you were . gabi : dario , i feel like i do n't even know who you are . dario : then why do n't you help papi and me clean up our act ? gabi : i am an image consultant , okay ? i am not a miracle worker . gabi : and you are starting a new business . dad wants to fund it for you . gabi : oh , yeah ? so do you want a front for the other business activities that you have or is it a bribe ? dario : well , if your firm turns a profit , we do n't need any other business activities . gabi : oh , great , so no pressure there . dario : that last part was kind of a joke . gabi : no . dario : listen , listen , listen . dad wants to give this to you from his heart and mine , too . plus , we believe in your abilities . gabi : why ? why do you believe ? i 've had one client . dario : we believe in you , period . and where else are you gon na get the money ? gabi : well , when you 're right , you 're right . dario : so you accept the offer ? so tell me , what 's the vision for this new company of yours ? gabi : i 'm gon na tell you , but you ca n't laugh , okay ? look , i do n't want to just help people with how they look to the public . i want to help them with their lifestyle choices and their challenges . dario : why would i laugh at that ? gabi : well , because i 'm an ex - con who got knocked up by her gay best friend . so who am i to tell anybody how to live their lives ? dario : you had a bad start . but you became a very successful model and image consultant . who better qualified to help people change their lives ? gabi : if -- if i take this money from you and papi , you have no say in how i run my company . dario : deal . gabi : oh . okay . rafe : hi . can i buy you one that 's hot ? marlena : no . i 've had enough coffee , thanks . i 'm just -- i guess i 'm avoiding going home . rafe : missing john ? marlena : yeah . rafe : mind if i sit ? marlena : oh , my gosh . of course , sit down . sorry , please . rafe : all right . i heard he 's not coming back for a while . marlena : yeah . all the isa would tell me is that he 's on a job in thailand . rafe : hmm . exotic . marlena : hmm . rafe : are you okay with that ? marlena : it 's his job . rafe : yeah . anyway , hope told me everything that eric did to save her life . i just was hoping to maybe see him and thank him in person . marlena : hmm . thanks . i could tell you where he is , but he just does n't want visitors right now . rafe : right . maybe you could say something to him that would change his mind . marlena : um , i already asked if jennifer would talk -- you know , they 're close friends , and so if that does n't encourage him to come home , i 'm not sure what will . [ gentle music ] jennifer : sorry . eric : you need to go back to salem . tell my mom i 'm okay . jennifer : but you 're not okay . i remember the night before you left for prison . you told me that you were sorry that we were n't getting more of a chance . and i 'm here because i 'm sorry too . because i believe that you are one of the finest and kindest , most loving people i have ever known . i care about you . eric : i do n't care about me . or anyone else . i 'm sorry .

[ scene_break ] victor : kate , what are you doing here ? kate : i need to talk to you . lucas : well , i 'll go , then , start getting carrie familiar with our other projects . victor : good . i 'm very busy , kate . what 's so important you could n't call ? kate : i need your advice about this situation with alex and marlena and john . victor : my advice is very simple -- stay the hell out of it . [ scene_break ] shawn d. : you know , really , whatever mimi decides , it 's fine . i do n't care . i 'm sure she 'll make great decisions . calliope : that is exactly the wrong attitude . the reason that calliope jones bradford 's weddings are so successful is that i really care and take into consideration your preferences . it is very important for me that it reflects you and the bride so that it is a bringing together of two people in love as one . now , look at the hors d'oeuvres . mimi : mom , you forgot to put belle and philip on the list . bonnie : i did n't forget . it was intentional . mimi : okay , belle and philip have to be at the wedding . they 're the best man and matron of honor . bonnie : if you insist . mimi : i do . bonnie : well , then , let 's hope it 's your wedding and not your funeral .

[ scene_break ] john : whose side are you on , man ? abe : damn it . john : what ? abe : i 'm on your side . what if north confessed to bait you ? what if he made up everything to get you to attack him so he could file for that restraining order and keep you away from marlena once and for all ? john : it was n't a lie . come on , abe . i 've been around the block once or twice . the confession was real and so is the danger to marlena . i do n't give a damn about that restraining order . i 'm not gon na let him get away with what he 's done or what he is about to do .

[ scene_break ] austin : can you hand me the revised projections , please ? sami : um , yeah . here you go . austin : oh , and can you -- can you check the arithmetic on this ? sami : nicole gets to travel the world , wining and dining future investors , and i have to sit here and double - check your math . austin : nicole 's an asset to our company and so are you . like i said , you both have your -- well , different strengths and weaknesses . sami : and my strengths are assisting you with arithmetic ? austin : among other things . sami : so what are my weaknesses ? austin : let 's see . you 're easily distracted , and you 're too damn nosy . now let 's finish the projections . sami : that is not true . i am not easily distracted , and i am not nosy . austin : no ? sami : no , i 'm working hard . i 'm slaving away , sweating , steam . i mean , it 's killing me here .

[ scene_break ] kate : look , i did n't come here to argue with you , all right ? [ sighs ] it was generous of you to offer carrie a position in lucas ' division . victor : it was n't charity . carrie 's got a lot of potential , as long as lucas ' feelings for her do n't interfere with their working together as a team . kate : mmm , it 's that obvious , huh ? victor : blatantly . lucas has good business instincts , but when his heart gets involved , he goes soft , like when he backed off raiding highstyle when he found out it was carrie 's company . now , he 's gon na deny that , of course , but , i guarantee you , that 's why austin was able to snap it up . kate : yes , and he did it , and he broke carrie 's heart , and now she 's never going to forgive him . victor : then she 's a fool . personal is personal . business is business . nothing ever came of mixing the two . austin made a good business decision -- the same one i would have made . kate : well , he would never have made that decision if he knew that carrie was the ceo . victor : i would n't be so sure . kate : he 's not as ruthless as you are , victor . victor : well , i like to think of it as strong . and if he intends to make a success of his little company , he 's gon na have to get a lot stronger , otherwise he 's never gon na be a major player , which is fine with me . kate : i want to see him successful , but i also want to see him happy , and i want him to have love in his life . those are two things that are missing from yours . [ scene_break ] lucas : what are you reading there ? uh ... i 'm sorry . i did n't mean for you to see this . i had no idea it was in there . carrie : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to be nosy . i did n't know what it was until i read it . lucas : no , it 's fine . i was gon na give it to sami on our wedding night . a wedding that never happened . why do n't i show you the files of the products we 're developing ? carrie : okay .

[ scene_break ] austin : i 'm waiting , sami . tell me what carrie said . sami : look , austin , you really do n't -- austin : will you just tell me what carrie said , please ? sami : okay , all right . she said that she does n't want to be with you again , ever . she said that she does n't have those feelings for you anymore , and she never will . but , austin , she was really upset , okay ? i do n't think she even knew what she was saying . austin : you 're right . sami : yeah , well [ clears throat ] i think she 's gon na get over it eventually . but based on the way carrie and lucas were acting last night , i would n't be surprised if the next wedding we go to in salem will be theirs .

[ scene_break ] victor : if i seem unhappy , it 's because of your insistence that i not tell shawn that he 's claire 's father . kate : shh ! would you be quiet ? someone could hear you . victor : well , maybe it 's about time somebody did . shawn has a right to know he has a child . kate : [ groans ] shawn and mimi are in love , and they 're getting married , and no good would come of telling anyone right now . philip 's wife and child mean the world to him . if you take them away from him , then you take his life away from him . is that what you want ? victor : of course not . i do n't want to hurt philip any more than he 's already been hurt , but it does n't make keeping this secret right , either . kate : hmm , just think of it as a business decision , victor . victor : but it 's not a business decision , kate . it 's extremely personal .

[ scene_break ] will : you know , you 're always crying about how you have to take care of yourself because no one else will take care of you . did you ever think it 's because you do n't give your mother a chance ? good luck going it alone . sami : will . i love you . will : you know , i almost feel sorry for you . you want so bad to look like the -- the perfect mother and the perfect wife . and that 's why you screw everything up , because you have no energy left over to actually do it . at least you have your job , though . so , good luck . see you around . sami : will ? will , come on !

[ scene_break ] brady : you know , you are right about one thing . rules , i do n't like rules . i 've never played by 'em . except in one area and that 's marriage . because i was in one before and i really screwed it up . so i promised myself that if i was ever in one again , i would do it right the next time . i mean -- madison , i mean , the whole thing . i mean , being in public in front of your family and friends . saying the vows . keeping the vows . raising kids right . the whole thing , you know ? madison : i want that , too . brady : no , i do n't think you do , i do n't think you do . not with me . because you 're still married to someone across town . madison : i do n't love him . i do love you . is n't that what matters ? brady : what matters to me is a relationship with a woman who loves me enough to trust me . and i 'm sorry , but that 's not you .

[ scene_break ] tony : what else do you have in store for john ? you would n't have gone through all the trouble of resurrecting him if you did n't have plans -- some plans -- for his future . stefano : [ thinking ] future ? what future ? he 's a man without a past , without a personality , without a memory . and he will never get those back . he will never know how . [ scene_break ] bo : see , this is why i wanted pop to take that oxygen . there 's a good chance i 'm gon na die -- hope : you are not going to die . bo : come on , hope . hope : do n't . do n't start with me . you know how cranky i get when i have n't had enough beauty sleep . bo : okay , you win this round . [ scene_break ] victor : what kind of an incompetent organization are you running here ? lexie : we are doing everything we can . victor : well , obviously it 's not enough . you may be willing to sit back and let bo die the way isabella did , but i 'm not . i 'll bring in every damn expert in the world if i have to , but i will not lose bo . caroline : neither will i . [ scene_break ] tony : i do n't know what i hoped to accomplish by coming here . maybe it was to reassure myself that you could n't ever hurt anybody else again . goodbye ... father . stefano : hmm . a man 's entire life , everything he knew , everything he remembered has been extracted from his brain and placed on this single little disc . [ chuckles ] it 's incredible .

[ scene_break ] john : so , what about the old man 's money ? it 's okay . they 're family . at least that 's what they tell me . richard : i see you 've been going through stefano 's papers . john : and the picture that 's developing so far is about as clear as mud . richard : i 'm not surprised . some of stefano 's holdings are rather complicated . marlena : by that do you mean illegal ? richard : i would n't know about that . stefano had legions of lawyers all around the world . they all handled different things for him . and most of us had no idea what the others were doing . trust me , it was better that way . john : and you handle exactly what ? richard : personal matters . and i 'm the executor of his estate . marlena : then you must be aware of all of his holdings . richard : not at all . as you 'll see , the language of the documents he 's left are quite specific and at the same time deliberately vague . john : let 's hear it . richard : his other family members should be here . john : i 'll call them . dimera family meeting number two . you can stay if you like . marlena : oh , i would n't miss it .

[ smooches ] [ scene_break ] john : this is everybody . tony : so , where 's alexandra ? john : busy at the hospital . tony : so , why did you want to see us ? richard : john wanted me to go over the distribution of stefano 's personal estate with all of you . e.j . : did he , now ? that 's interesting . i was n't aware that my father was dead . richard : no , but he 's permanently incapacitated . tony : i was at the hospital this morning . his prognosis has n't changed . richard : and you have decided to discontinue further tests ? tony : yes . they told us it probably would n't make a difference . john : so , why spend good money on more doctors when you can put it in your pocket ? e.j . : you know , i think maybe a little harsh , john . tony : not remotely what we were thinking . john : what were you thinking ? tony : that the world would be a better place without my father in it . richard : well , you certainly have the right to make that decision . at any rate , the reality is that stefano does appear to be unlikely to regain consciousness , much less recover . as you might imagine , his empire is quite vast and extremely complicated . and i 'm only privy to a small part of it . and i can tell you that even that requires an enormous amount of time and energy to run . it 's the kind of responsibility that can only be assumed by a loyal family member . e.j . : well , i 'm assuming that my father went over all of this in his will . richard : well , it was covered , but as you pointed out , stefano is n't dead . and prior to his incapacitation , he did n't give anyone his power of attorney . sami : can you just cut to the chase ? what do you mean ? richard : well , it 's up to me , as the executor , to appoint the person most capable of carrying on his legacy . e.j . : great . so , which one of us gets that dubious honor ? [ scene_break ] shawn d. : look ... i know that we have n't been exactly close . but he 's our father . and he needs all of our support right now . we need to be able to lean on and support each other so we can get through this together , okay ? i mean , come on . you 're not just his daughter , chelsea , and that means never giving up and never giving in . dad needs us -- all of us . so , be strong for him . his family is the only thing that 's gon na get him through this . chelsea : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] bo : ma -- i 'm in bad shape . we just got to face it . caroline : face it , yes , but to say we can do nothing about it ? no . no . victor : lexie , how could this be ? you said there was absolutely no sign at all that bo 's pancreas was cancerous . lexie : as far as the tests have indicated , no . and we 've been extremely thorough . bo : lex , we did some research . hope : it ca n't be pancreatitis . bo does n't drink excessively . actually , he barely drinks at all . and he 's not diabetic . lexie : it 's possible it 's genetic . victor : but you said there was no cancer . lexie : no . no . but whatever it is is affecting the same gland as isabella 's cancer . that indicates that your family may have a higher possibility of the pancreas being susceptible to infection or disease . caroline : you mean like a family history of diabetes or heart murmur ? lexie : something like that , yes . and you were in that motorcycle accident not too long ago . hope : yeah , but the tests and the x - rays , they did n't show any internal damage . lexie : no . his body still went through a high degree of trauma . and if his pancreas was already inherently genetically weak , it would be more likely to have an adverse reaction to it . bo : okay , so , uh , bottom line -- it does n't really matter , does it ? lexie : actually , it does . if we know the cause , it can often determine the best course of treatment . bo : and if you do n't ? lexie : your pancreas will continue to lose function until eventually ... it shuts down . bo : how long could that take ? caroline : it 'll take long enough for lexie and the other doctors to find out why this is happening and stop it . [ scene_break ] anna : well , stefano was loaded , so , uh , who gets to play with all that money ? richard : well , stefano has changed his will a number of times , and even though this is not a formal execution of his will because he 's still alive , i believe it serves as an accurate guideline to his wishes . john : so , who gets it ? richard : well , stefano took his daughter alexandra out of his will some time ago . and he was furious at you , antony , and you , elvis , due to some recent behavior on both your parts that he did n't approve of . e.j . : yes , father was a master at dishing out punishment to those who displeased him , eh ? tony : so , can we stop with the legalese and just tell us , will you ? richard : well , the last time he changed his will , he cut both of you completely out of it . the only provision he added was a generous trust for his new grandson , giovanni . sami : hold on a second . i do n't want my son to have any of his filthy money . richard : it 's in trust until he 's 21 . he can decide for himself at that time whether he chooses to accept it . e.j . : okay , but the other trusts are still active , yes ? richard : i 'm sorry . no . they were all cancelled . e.j . : really ? i was of the understanding that they were reinstated . richard : apparently he lied . john : i 'm paying you by the hour . who gets the old man 's money ? richard : so far as i know , stefano has only one surviving blood relative . john : i had a feeling this was gon na be a lucky day . e.j . : wait a second . how is that even possible ? my father had no idea that he was related to john . and believe you me , this man is the last person in the world my father would want his money going to . richard : i 'm the executor of his estate , and all i know is that stefano made it very clear to me who he did n't want his money and holdings to go to . as his only surviving blood relation , i 've decided this man is entitled by default . tony : so , are we finished here ? anna : how much are we talking about exactly ? richard : just what i know about is in the tens of millions . john : there 's my new jet . marlena : you 're not thinking about keeping that money , are you ? [ scene_break ] bo : so , i got a chance of beating this , right ? lexie : you just hang in there until we isolate and identify what 's doing this . victor : and you 're convinced you can do that ? lexie : there are no guarantees , victor . victor : well , you wo n't mind if i get some other opinions . lexie : no . no . the more minds working on this , the better . chelsea : hey , are you up for more visitors ? shawn d. : is it okay , lexie ? lexie : yeah , sure . come on . bo : hey . chelsea : you 're gon na beat this , dad . bo : you bet i will .

[ scene_break ] ej : this is the second guard that rafe , in his weakened condition , has managed to outsmart . do you think maybe the problem is the people that we employ ? stefano : point well taken . i did say that we 'd keep rafael around as long as he did not make trouble . last night , he could have screwed up this entire operation . that is trouble . ej : so what do you want me to do ? hm ? stefano : what i think is this . that it 's time ... for rafael to leave salem . forever . [ scene_break ] chloe : do you have a pen ? [ monitor beeping ] chloe : philip is married . if i sign this and he takes custody of parker , what rights does that give his wife , melanie ? attorney : well , assuming he and his wife live together , she would have physical custody , too . chloe : physical custody ? attorney : she 'd be entitled to care for parker . tend to his needs . is that a problem ? chloe : no . it 's better that he 's with people who love him , instead of strangers . that 's all that matters . [ scene_break ] melanie : i never really understood what it must have felt like for you to lose parker ' til now . daniel : i guess we 're kind of facing the same thing . forced to take all those -- those plans we made , the -- you know , the dreams we had , and you , uh -- sweetheart , what you do is you , uh , you put 'em high on a shelf somewhere . way in the back . so you do n't have to see 'em so often . but you know , what 's different is you are suffering a physical loss . stop . you need to take care of yourself . okay ? melanie : i feel sleepy all the time . is that -- is like an escape ? daniel : who cares ? who cares , sweetheart ? you just sleep . get some sleep . [ scene_break ] ej : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . whoa , whoa , whoa , wait a second . i thought we agreed . rafe stays in the picture until such time as our doppelganger has been able to alienate johnny , sydney , and ultimately , samantha . stefano : there 's a lot of pressure in doing what he is doing . if he blows up , it will destroy everything that we have in place . ej : look , father . you ca n't rush this . okay ? you just ca n't . samantha has to come to her own conclusion that this guy , rafe , is not the man that she married . see , then samantha and i , we take control of the children , without any interference from rafe . you understand ? i get to be the father figure to my children . stefano : what i fear is that , uh , you are getting soft , which usually means that you are trying to impress some good woman . fortunately , there is no one who would ever put nicole in that category , but i do n't know . maybe i 'm just imagining the whole thing . [ scene_break ] ej : sorry . taylor : oh , no problem . [ scene_break ] philip : i want melanie to have time to grieve and get past this . i do n't want anybody pushing an agenda on her , and that includes you . nathan : oh , you 're giving me advice now on how to treat melanie ? philip : oh , get off your high horse . this baby was in your way , and now you 're figuring out your first move . daniel : okay , knock it off , philip . this is neither the time nor the place . nathan : i was just gon na say the same thing . excuse me . philip : how 's melanie ? daniel : physically , she 's fine . philip : nathan and i were arguing when the pain hit . she blames me for this , does n't she ? daniel : as much as i wish she did , i 'm sorry to say the only person she seems to blame is herself . [ scene_break ] chloe : melanie . you 're in a -- what happened to you ? melanie : i lost my baby . [ scene_break ] ej : and i 'm not going `` soft , `` as you so charmingly put it . i short - circuited your little plan for allie because , whether you like it or not , she 's johnny 's sister . and he loves her , and he wants her in his life . stefano : giovanni does not need rafael hernandez in his life , and neither do we . ej : that 's a matter of opinion . stefano : ah , here he is now . ha , ha ! buon giorno !

[ scene_break ] attorney : mrs. jonas just signed the authorization for the change on parker 's birth certificate . maybe i should speak to you separately . daniel : no . no , it 's okay . what do we do now ? attorney : well , you 'll have to sign also so that mr. kiriakis can take temporary custody of parker , if his name 's going to continue to be parker , which is a separate matter . daniel : it 's not my call . philip : well , chloe wanted his name to be parker , so that 's what it 'll be . attorney : parker kiriakis ? philip : you 're sure you 're okay with this ? daniel : where do i sign ?

[ scoffs ] i left china years before she did . i eventually married an american . i am a naturalized citizen . when my sister arrived , i of course assumed that she did so legally . if you have issues with haley , i suggest you take it up with her .

[ melancholy music ] jack : you 're right about one thing . the decision to confront melinda about haley was mine and mine alone . i do n't know why i did it publicly . if i 'd done it in private , haley would 've been protected , and i would have a relationship with jj and jennifer . eve : jj will come around , jack . just do n't let jennifer 's self - righteous baloney bring you down , because listen to me , you are a hero . you 're a hero to all the people out in this town who know that melinda trask is a hypocrite . jack : i 'm not afraid to tangle with people . eve : i know , jack , and it showed . you 're not only strong , but you 're smart . that 's why you are gon na make a great mayor . you know this town 's got some special problems . jack : mm - hmm . two crime family in a one horse town . eve : absolutely . abe 's a nice guy , too nice for the job , and you know what kind of woman melinda trask is . jack : me ? mayor ? eve : yes . jack : well , i am the son of a senator , are n't i ? and , who knows , maybe i was meant for bigger things , huh ? maybe this mayor 's office is just a stepping stone . to the senate . or maybe even the governor 's mansion . eve : mm . have i ever told you i love the way you think ? seresto , seresto , seresto . jj : what do you guys want ? eli : we 're here to talk to haley chen . jj : since when did salem pd start doing ice 's dirty work ? lani : we caught the assignment . we did n't ask for it . is she here ? jj : no . and i have no idea where she is now . lani : can we come in for a minute ? [ suspenseful music ] hi . jennifer : hi . lani : you 're a sweet guy , jj . it 's in your nature to want to help people . and that 's why you let haley stay here . eli : but if you 're hiding her from the authorities , you could only be making things worse for her . lani : and yourself . jennifer : jj does n't know where she is . he 's telling the truth . jj : she moved out . she 's furious at me over what my dad did . eli : all right , well , we may need you to come down to the station to give an official statement . jj : you 're kidding . eli : if you happen to talk to her , please let her know the best thing she can do is turn herself in . jj : what , so you can help the feds deport her ? the hell i will . kayla : here you go . you know , jj is a good guy , with a big heart , or he would n't have stayed in touch with you after he saved your life . haley : i do n't know what i would 've done without him . honestly , he -- he listened to me , he gave me a place after my own sister threw me out . and that 's why i told him about me . you know , i was -- i was so sure that i could trust him , because he knew exactly what was at stake for me and for my sister , and he still told his dad ? kayla : maybe he just wanted some advice . haley : but he lied to me . he lied to my face . he never told me that he was gon na talk to his dad . and now i 'm going back to a country where i do n't -- i do n't know anybody , i do n't have any family or friends , where girl children have no value , and god knows what 's gon na happen to me next . tripp : this says she 's gon na be deported . claire : wow .

abigail : mom , please tell me you are not planning on breaking in to eve 's apartment . jennifer : well , not technically , because i have her keys . abigail : oh , my god . jennifer : honey , it is something that i have to do for your brother . abigail : what are you even talking about ? jennifer : i do n't know . i -- i ca n't put my finger on it . but eve has done something major in all of this . she made sure that jj and paige broke up and now she 's gon na do anything she can to make sure that they can not get back together . abigail : so what , mom ? you think you 're gon na find some sort of proof ? jennifer : it 's a hunch ! i 'll grant you . but the way that she has been speaking to me , almost taunting me in a way . abigail : okay , listen to me , mom . jj has been acting weird lately , okay ? he has n't been himself and that 's sad and i get that , but , still , to think that eve is behind it -- jennifer : no , i know ! i know ! daniel told me that he thinks eve is getting to me , but i am telling you i know this woman . she is a liar and a cheat and her dirty paws are all over this . guaranteed . jj : what happened ? roxanne : your mom called me , that 's what happened . jj : what ? how does she even know your number ? roxanne : she got it after she called my parents . jj : oh , my god . roxanne : and guess what ? she heard that we 're dating and she does n't believe it for a second . jj : [ sighs ] all right . damn it , man , she -- she must 've talked to daniel . i knew it 'd be a hard sell but i thought that i 'd have a chance to drop some hints or something , you know ? roxanne : well , forget that . the whole idea is toast , jj . jj : hey look , no . it 's gon na be fine . just ease off , we 'll think of something . roxanne : no , we wo n't . paige 's super - bitch - of - a - mom yelling at me was bad enough . i ca n't deal with my parents getting on my case . god knows what your mom said when she called my house . jj : okay , look , let 's just try to calm down , okay ? just try to calm down -- roxanne : no , it 's not gon na be okay , jj . i did n't sign on for this and i 'm not doing it anymore . barista : can i get you anything else , ma'am ? tori : um ... is there a back entrance ? barista : uh , yeah , but it 's , uh , it 's closed today . why ? tori : i just like to know where things are . in case of an emergency . i 'll , um -- i 'll have another green tea , please . barista : okay . adrienne : i 'm sorry . i should n't be here dumping this on you . lucas : no , it 's fine . i 'm so sorry you 're upset . and i , um -- i know you need someone to talk to -- adrienne : no , but it should be somebody else . lucas : it 's just you and justin have been married so long and -- i do n't wan na complicate things . adrienne : right . lucas : and , you know , i 'm sure it 's just a matter of time before he realizes how lucky he is to have you . adrienne : that 's really sweet of you to say . honestly , you 've been such a big help to me . i only hope that someday i can return the favor . lucas : well , you know , if you want you can , uh -- you can help me with this chimney right now . adrienne : okay , deal . lucas : you do n't have to do that , i was kidding . adrienne : no , seriously . seriously , i 've got some time before i pick up sonny at the hospital . lucas : really , will 's not picking him up ? adrienne : no , no . sonny asked me to . i guess will has something else to take care of , i do n't know . will : you see , here 's the thing . sonny was in love with paul . marlena : okay . will : just because paul would n't marry him and sonny broke it off , it does n't mean that sonny just stopped loving paul . marlena : of course not . will : he just -- sonny did n't want to live a lie . marlena : oh . will ? honey , are you feeling threatened because paul is back in sonny 's life ? and especially now that paul is clear about who he is ? will : no , i 'm not -- jealous -- i feel kind of used . marlena : really ? why used ? will : well , is n't it obvious ? sonny threw himself into a relationship with me because he could n't have paul . marlena : okay . let 's look at that . now , sonny was back in town for a year before you got together with him , right ? will : about . marlena : and then you dated for another year before you got married , so it was really two years away from paul before you and sonny got married . so , honey , i do n't think he 's using you . will : two years is not a long time . not when you love someone enough to want to get married . marlena : you know what my opinion is ? i think you 're trying to shift the blame from what you did . will : yeah , that sounds like me . but still ... marlena : what , still what ? will : i used to feel special . i used to think that i was [ sighs ] more special to sonny than anything else . now , i just , i feel like , i 'm just the one that happened to say `` yes `` to him . paul : sonny , i told you the truth when -- sonny : last time you were here , you said you had no clue will was my husband . paul : i did n't . sonny : and as far as you know , will had no idea you were my ex - boyfriend ? paul : he did n't know until he came to me after you confronted him about it . he was blown away when i told him about you and me . sonny : how could he have not known ? he interviewed you for hours . paul : yeah , but , i never mentioned your name . i never even said you lived in salem ! sonny : so -- this is just one big ugly coincidence . paul : yes . sonny , i would never intentionally hurt you . maggie : honey , um , i -- i -- i totally forgot . you know what ? i just should n't have mentioned jj . paige : it 's okay . maggie : no , it was thoughtless . and i 'm so sorry . paige : really , it 's fine . maggie : are you really fine ? paige : uh ... it 's been ... there 's nothing to do but stay busy , i guess . i never loved anyone the way i love -- but , i 'm moving on . i 'm okay . abigail : mom , jj has openly admitted that he slept with another girl . eve did n't make him do that ! jennifer : right , maybe not . but she lied to paige . she got her to go to los angeles to see her so called dying grandfather and let jj think that they were never coming back and that is when it happened . abigail : you never told me that . jennifer : well , i 'm telling you right now . because eve always does anything to get her way , honey , and she is gon na make sure that they do n't get back together . the question is , how ? abigail : she has definitely been a pain ever since she came to salem . no doubt . she -- she has taken half the royalties of daddy 's book , she 's trashed our entire family , all over salem , she filed a lawsuit but she -- she did n't make jj sleep with another girl . jennifer : okay , then , she used it to her advantage . okay , that is what she does . i 'll bet she 's behind getting roxanne involved in all of this . abigail : roxanne ? what are you talking about ? jennifer : roxanne trenton , jj 's friend . that 's who he is supposedly seeing right now . abigail : what ? no way . mom , that -- no , that ca n't be right . jj : wait , roxanne , roxanne . roxanne : no , it wo n't work , jj . jj : just give me a minute to think , okay ? look , if paige is sure we 're like an item , then it 'll still be cool . roxanne : no , it wo n't . because your mom will keep saying we 're not . my parents are already on my case about getting into trouble at school . jj : all right , rox , do n't worry about that , okay ? 'cause i 'll talk to my mom . and i 'll get her to back off . but you wo n't get in trouble , i promise . roxanne : what about that lunatic , mrs. larson ? jj : i can handle her too . no problem . and if you do this for me , i 'll make it up to you . i 'll find a way . roxanne : you will ? jj : i know , how about we go back to your hotel room and just -- just figure something out ? is that a good idea ? roxanne : sounds like a plan . marlena : will . when a thing like this happens , most of us do the same thing . we tend to analyze every word , every sentence , every insult . and we lose sight of the big picture . will : then i betrayed sonny . marlena : yes . and you have to accept responsibility for that . and you have to talk to sonny . otherwise , you 'll go crazy with all the scenarios you begin to imagine . will : okay . i 'll try . but if things go the way they went last night , i -- marlena : then you 'll get some professional help . i can give you the name of some very good marriage counselors . but remember this , you and sonny , remember , your family 's always there for you . paul : look , you need to understand , sonny . will was n't out to hurt you . i was n't out to hurt you ! sonny : you were n't . will knew what he was doing was complete betrayal . paul : look , hey , i came on to him . i made the first move , okay ? i mean , you just shut me down . you said we had not future . and then here was this hot guy , smart , intelligent , i mean , he seemed available . and he really took an interest in me from the beginning . sonny : i 'll bet he did . paul : no , i mean , he paid attention . look , i flirted with him like crazy . and you know how i am when i really want something . sonny : will could 've said `` no . `` you did n't force him . paul : all i 'm saying is that all this would n't have happened if i had n't pushed so hard . sonny : yeah , well it did happen ! will claimed it only happened once . is that true ? paul : yes . even after i knew that he was with someone , i tried to make a play for a second round . he stopped me . he said it was n't right . your husband still loves you , sonny . you got ta believe that . roxanne : so , we 'll like play it loose and you 'll cover for me with my parents , right ? jj : absolutely . so , are we cool ? roxanne : you know i 've never been able to say `` no `` to you . you know , you just have this ... way sometimes . maybe it 's those eyes . you know , maybe we really should start fooling around . or , at least , practice making out for when we 're seen in public ? jj : ah -- nah -- i think we can -- we can probably worry about that when the time comes . [ heavy banging on door ] roxanne : weird . [ banging on door ] jennifer : daniel definitely saw roxanne with jj . he said she was hanging all over him . abigail : no way . i mean , that -- that is way off . i mean , do n't you think if they were really into each other that we would 've seen this years ago ? and it 's just too weird that jj would n't mention it to us , you know ? he would n't even mention her name ? come on , it 's like , we do n't know who she is . jennifer : yeah , she went to school in chicago . so he would have to be sneaking back and forth all the time . i think that this is part of this plan that eve has dreamed up . and if i can prove that , if i can prove somehow that roxanne is connected to eve . abigail : mom , what -- by -- by sneaking into her apartment ? i mean , honestly , tell me , what -- what do you even think that you 're gon na find there ? jennifer : i do n't know yet . but , i was an investigative journalist , i know how to look . i know how to put things together , honey . abigail : mom , that 's not investigative journalism . it 's called breaking and entering . you ca n't do this , okay ? look , just -- just -- sit jj down and make him tell you the truth , okay ? or try calling roxanne again . jennifer : okay , yeah , maybe i can , um , make it more of a last resort . abigail : yes . yes , absolutely . a last resort . okay , i -- i have to go . i 'm late , but , you understand that this is a bad idea , mom , right ? jennifer : yeah , mm - hmm . abigail : you 're not gon na do this ? jennifer : right . abigail : okay . love you , bye . roxanne : what the hell are you doing here ? she followed us ! eve : you bet i did , sister , because i 'm not finished with this snake ! or you either ! jj : all right , ms . larson . eve : hey -- j -- jj -- jj : this is crazy , even for you . you need to go home -- stop ! eve : no , i am not . not until i 've had my say ! roxanne : well , you can say it to the wall , bitch , because i am so out of here . i 'm back in chicago , jj . we are done . you 're on your own . jj : roxanne . are you happy now ? you just ruined everything ! lucas : [ straining ] adrienne : this oughta do the trick . try this . lucas : what do you got ? adrienne : here . lucas : look at you , you look like a ghost . adrienne : [ laughs ] well , this kind of work can get you pretty dirty , dude . lucas : oh , because you 've seen henderson get dirty when he does it at your house ? adrienne : i was n't born with a silver spoon . may i remind you , i used to own my own construction company ? lucas : oh , sorry . adrienne : spray the damper lock , that will do it . seriously , try it . lucas : all right , i 'll try . whatever you say . adrienne : okay , no . just be careful when you get it loose -- lucas : yeah . adrienne : yeah , sometimes there 's a little bit of buildup and then the soot will suddenly just drop down -- oh !

rex : we 're taking the day off to be there for shawn . tony : why ? is something wrong ? cassie : you have n't heard . shawn was arrested for killing colin murphy . belle : i heard that shawn brady was being held here . man : no one 's allowed in except his lawyer . belle : right , um , they did tell me that . do you think that you could give him a note for me ? man : i guess that would be okay . belle : thank you . man : a young woman left that for you . shawn - d : thanks . belle 's voice : `` dear shawn , i have a lot of things i want to say to you , but none of them are more important than this -- i love you . `` hope : here you go . bo : thanks . hope : i do n't know who fell asleep faster , your dad or zack . bo : pop 's okay , is n't he ? hope : yeah , he 's just worn out . what are you doing ? bo : making some notes on shawn 's case . i got ta do some follow - up . hope : thank god he pleaded not guilty , bo . bo : yeah , we have belle to thank for that . hope : now we have proof that he 's not guilty . bo : yeah . shawn may have shot at colin murphy , but he did n't hit him . someone else did . i got to go out there and find the real killer , get our son out of jail . roman : kate , i 'm telling you , it 's not a gooididea to go in there . kate : roman , what are you going to do ? are you going to avoid your brother from now till the end of time ? come on . roman : i 'm not welcome in there , i 'm telling you . i do n't really want to go in there and face what i 'm going to have to face again . nicole : roman , i 'm glad i ran into you . i was on my way to the police station , but this makes it much easier . roman : makes what easier , nicole ? nicole : i need to turn myself in . abe : you know , if you 're serious about getting something off ur chest , you need your attorney present . larry : well , i 'll tell you what i 'll do , abe . i 'll do you a favor . i 'll waive all my rights . abe : quit wasting my time . larry : listen , listen , i 'd stick around if i were you . you do n't want to miss out on larry welch 's big confession , do you ? like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . larry : does she have to take all this stuff down ? abe : police procedure . i ca n't take a statement unless it 's recorded . so what 's this confession you want to make ? larry : well , the brady kid did n't kill colin murphy . i did . abe : what kind of game you playing ? larry : hey , i know when my number 's up , that 's all . at first i figured , hey , if shawn wants to take the rap , i can get away with murder . abe : what changed your mind ? larry : well , he had to go and plead not guilty . bummer . look , bo is going to bust his ass till he finds proof that his son could n't have knocked off the doc , okay ? he 's going to nail me sooner or later , so i figured if i could save you some time and the state a little money , you and i could come to some kind of a deal . abe : well , what kind of deal ? larry : well , i confess , and you see to it that i only get charged with second - degree murder . that way , the death penalty is not an option . abe : well , only the d.a . can make that kind of deal . larry : yeah ? get him . i 'll wait . abe : not until i 'm sure you 're telling the truth . so tell me , how 'd you kill dr . murphy , and why ? larry : um ... i hired , uh ... colin to take bo out . you see , the hit was supposed to go down the night of the kiriakis wedding -- sort of start the new year off with a bang . anyway , something told me i could n't trust that weas , so i took out my tux and i went down there to check to see if he was doing the job the way it was planned , and sure enough , as soon as i got to the kiriakis place , colin had slipped into some `` first do no harm `` doctor mode . did n't even have a damn gun . abe : he did n't have a gun ? larry : well , he brought it with him , but , i mean , he panicked and tossed it on the ground . i mean , can you imagine how i felt ? i mean , there we were , a clear shot at bo right through the terrace window , and it was n't going to happen . abe : so what did you do ? larry : what did i do ? i picked up that damn gun where he threw it , shoved it in his hand , and told him to finish the job . anyway , he ran , and i grabbed him , and we fought , and ... the gun went off . he took a bullet right in the belly . ugh , nasty . abe : and you 're sure he was shot in the abdomen ? larry : yeah , i 'm sure he was shot in the abdomen . hell , i was out of there before he hit the ground . well , that 's it . end of story . abe : not quite . we still have a lot of unanswered questions . larry : i 'll tell you what , abe . i 'll tell you whatever you need to know as soon as the d.a . okays my deal . abe : you 're still playing games . larry : hey , i 'm putting my life on the line here . are you going to the d.a . or not ? abe : i 'll get back to you . later . we 're finished . nicole : i am not saying anything in front of her . kate : well , if you 'd like a list of little nicky 's crimes , i 'd be more than thrilled to do the honors . nicole : maybe i should go to the station after all , talk to abe . roman : no , no , get back here . kate , do me a favor . wait inside . two minutes . i 'll be in . kate : okay . roman : all right , nicole , talk to me . why are you turning yourself in ? what crime did you commit ? nicole : i -- victor : shut up , nicole . nicole : victor . victor : do n't say another word . roman : what the hell is going on here ? kate : listen , i do n't want to interrupt , but i did want to tell you that i 'm glad shawn pleaded not guilty . bo : why would n't he ? he 's innocent . kate : bo , i just meant -- bo : everyone knows that shawn is n't guilty -- except my brother . kate : well , listen , i just hope everything turns out really well for you very soon . hope : thank you , kate . bo : just a word of advice . you 'd better not be hiding anything , because if my brother uncovers it , he 'll throw the book at you . he 's replaced his heart with a badge . kate : i 'm really sorry you feel that way . bo : mm - hmm . i do n't know what makes me angrier , the fact that shawn is in jail , or that my bthther put him there . belle 's voice : `` i believe in you , shawn , in spite of the fact that you do n't seem to believe in yourself . i know you 're innocent , and i 'm so glad you finally pleaded not guilty . you shot at colin to protect your father , and you did n't tell me what happened that night because you were trying to protect me . but i ca n't be protected from what i feel . that became impossible the day i fell in love with you and gave you my heart . you still have it , and you always will . all my love ... belle . `` craig : [ sighs ] chloe : how 's she doing ?

nancy : `` no `` ? then what were you two talking about having babies for ? craig : labor is slow and steady , which means we 're going to have to get chloe prepped for her marrow transplant . brady : this soon ? craig : oh , yeah . i mean , she can actually have the transplant as soon as her sister 's born , but we 've got to get her chemo and radiation treatmts again so her body will accept the transplant . brady : now , will she have to be in isolation during this process ? craig : no , not at all . not till after the transplant , when we 're waiting for it to take . brady : see , that 's going to be the toughest part ... craig : mm - hmm . brady : not being able to -- to hold her and comfort her , especially when she needs me the most . tony : no . no , shawn brady could n't have killed murphy . they were family . cassie : he confessed , and then his uncle roman arrested him . rex : but he tried to take back his confession today at the arraignment and plead not guilty . cassie : and then belle stood up at the hearing and made a huge scene . rex : she got him to see that he could n't have been the killer . cassie : yeah , some good it did . rex : yeahi mean , shawn still ended up in jail , and guilty or not , he 's going to be there for a long time . cassie : you do n't know that . rex : i 've been studying the way the judicial system works . i 'm telling you , the odds are against him . cassie : you are wrong . his father and commander carver are going to keep investigating , and they 're going to find everyone that ever knew colin murphy and anyone that had motivation for murder . tony : ah , cassie , come on . do n't upset yourself about this . cassie : i ca n't help it . i care about shawn , and i care about what happens to him . tony : uh , cassie -- rex : tony , look , she 'll come back when she calms down . tony : i hope so . there 's something i want to speak to you about -- you and cassie . rex : is it something about your trip ? tony : ha ha ha . it 's a surise . so , you 're studying our judicial system , are you ? is that because of shawn ? rex : well , that 's what got me started . i mean , i thought the law would be pretty cut and dry . innocent people are punished for crimes they did n't commit , and guilty people walk away scot - free . nothing is the way it seems . tony : so what are you saying ? you think that shawn is guilty of murder or that he 's capable of it ? rex : well , i 'm beginning to think that , given the right circumstances , anyone is capable of anything . tony : hmm . john : my attitude ? well , hell , i think my attitude has been pretty damn great , considering what i just learned today . marlena : i agree . john : okay , so ... wh - what ? marlena : that 's what i was going to say to you . you swore to be supportive of the twins , and you have been true to your word . you 've been kind and gentle and understanding , and i know finding out that tony and i were most likely the parents of the twins had to be very hard for you . john : yeah , well , fact is , i do n't think it 's really sunk in yet . but i 'm sure it 's going to hit me like a ton of bricks once tony starts worming his way into your life . marlena : you know , i do n't think that 's going to happen . john : oh , you do n't think so ? you do n't think tony 's going w want to discuss the kids ' school , what classes they 're taking , and god forbid , when one of them starts dating , you do n't think -- he 's going to want to have a big conversation about that . you know he is . marlena : well , i think tony and i will certainly talk ouout things from time to time , but i do n't think -- john : but it 's not -- it 's not going to change anything ? come on . he is using this connection to weave his web to draw you in . marlena : oh , john , come on . we 're not in high school . hey ... tony 's not going to take away your best girl , honey . it 's okay . john : damn it , i am serious , doc . marlena : well , i 'm just trying to lighten things up a little bit . you 're getting a little silly about this . john : silly ? you think i 'm being silly because i want to stop someone who is interfering with my marriage , to stop someone who wants to involve himself in my wife 's life ? marlena : tony is involved in my life . john : tony wants to take you away from me . i know it even if you do n't , and that has been his plan from day one . chloe : i love brady , but i 'm not in any rush . there are so many things that are uncertain about my life . nancy : oh , honey , not anymore . chloe : no , no , not just my illness . i mean me . i want to do so many things before i 'm ready to settle down . nancy : uh - huh . here we go again . [ exhaling ] craig : okay . i got to get back to nancy . brady : well , tell her to hurry up , okay ? i want to see this baby already . belle : brady , hey . brady : what -- belle ? belle : i got all your messages . brady : what -- are you okay ? what -- i heard about shawn . belle : no , i 'm fine . i 'm -- i 'm better than i was before . look , before i talk to you about shawn , what 's going on with chloe ? brady : oh , she 's fine . mrs. wesley is in labor , and they 're getting her ready for the transplant . belle : it 's finally happening . brady : yes , it is , and thank god . but , anyway , what about you ? i thought you were in paris . belle : i never even made it to the university . i did n't even make it out of the paris airport . i just had this feeling that i needed to be back here with shawn , so ... i took the next flight home . brady : well , listen , i refuse to believe that shawn murdered colin murphy . belle : he did n't do it , brady , but he 's in jail right now , and ... i do n't know if he 's ever going to get out . brady : listen , i - i know -- belle , i know this -- this -- this sounds really bad , okay ? but he 's going to come out of this okay . he 's got his family , and he 's got you fighting for him . he 's going to be all right . belle : i was terrible to him , brady , when he needed me the most . when i came back , i was so hard on him because he kept everything from me , but i love him , and all i did was hurt him . man : commander carver gave orders to hold you here . shawn - d : why ? man : find out soon enough . roman : you know , maybe i should just take both of you down to the station for questiong . g . victor : i do n't blame you for being angry . nicole had no right to bring this up with you today . roman : somebody want to tell me what 's going on here ? you show up in a state of panic , you want to turn yourself in , you stop her -- why ? victor : well , nicole received some upsetting news in the mail today , some notices from the court . seems that she 's amassed quite a number of parking tickets . she panicked , she felt the police would come after her if she did n't turn herself in . i told her it was nothing , just money . roman : really ? victo i thinkhehe captain deserves an apology , nicole . nicole : i 'm sorry . roman : you two really think i 'm going to buy all this bull ? victor : i can assure you the outstanding tickets will be paid by the end of the day . roman : victor , tell it to the dmv . victor : are you trying to buy yourself a one - way ticket to statesville ? nicole : i thought you were going to turn me in . victor : and make myself the laughingstock of salem ? i do n't think so . the world is not going to find out that victor kiriakis married a whore and a murderess . and make no mistake -- the only reason i 'm saving your sorry butt is to protect my good name . nicole : no matter what you do , they 'll find out . victor : not if i have somebody else that will take the rap for your lover 's death . nicole : no one would willingly confess to a crime they never committed . victor : you just leav the negotiations to me . you have other work to do . nicole : is that the gun ? what are you doing with that ? victor : you 'll see . now , listen , from now on , you do exactlys s i say or you 're going to end up the same way colin did . is that clear ? nicole : yes . thank you for not turning me in . victor : save me the waterworks . come on , let 's get out of here . bo : he 's got nerve , showing up here . hope : bo , let it go . kate : why do n't you go over and talk to bo and try to make him understand ? roman : the only thing bo understands is that his son is behind bars , and i 'm to blame . kate : someone has to reach out . roman : you might be right . it 's wor a shot . bo : what do you want ? roman : we need to talk . bo : okay , i 'll start . go to hell .

roman : abe wants to see the three of us at the office as soon as possible . bo : that better not be more trouble . hope : let 's just get over there , all right ? roman : look , i can drive . bo : i do n't think so . hope : we 'll meet you there . roman : i 'll call you . kate : i 'll leave my cell phone on . i hope it 's good news . roman : so do i . we need a break . marlena : all righty . what if tony is obsessed with me , which i do n't believe is true -- but for the sake of argument , let 's say that he is . john : all right . marlena : so what ? that really is tony 's problem . it i't mine . it is n't ours . you know what else ? the emotional impact of having the twins and being responsible for them may just change tony . john : you know , i - i hear what you 're saying here , honey , but you know what i think ? i think u 're re being naive , and i think that is what tony is counting on . marlena : well , i 'm counting on you to stop worrying and ... to remember ... that i am just crazy in love with the man i married , and nobody could do anything to get me away from you 'cause , john black , you just are my obsession . john : ahem . you know , before i get distracted , i 'm going to take those suitcases upstairs and make those telephone calls . ahem . marlena : i 'll check in with belle . john : yeah . marlena : oh , honey ... john : yeah . marlena : there 's one more thing . john : yeah ? what 's that ? oh . the twins , hmm ? marlena : i told tyy that i would meet with him as soon as possible to let the twins know what we found out . if you do n't want to be part of that , i completely understand . john : well , hell no . i 'm going to be there . you bet i am . rex and cassie are your children . they are part of you . so no matter what happens , i 'm going to be there -- today , tomorrow , the day after tomorrow . always . do n't ever doubt that . marlena : john . john : i love you , baby , and i will do anything for you . tony : you know , my father was always fond of saying `` truth is relative . `` now that i 've gotten older , i tend to agree with him . rex : but was n't your father -- tony : what , a bad man ? yeah , he had his dark side , but then , who does n't ? now , what may be right for one person may be wrong for another . rex : what about caring for other people ? tony : kindness is a very important thing , but if you really want to get ahead in this world , you ca n't allow your emotion to cloud your judgment or influence the decisnsns you 're going to make along the way . but most importantly , above everything else -- the end always justifies the means . rex : words to live by . tony : it always worked for me . roman : well , where 's abe ? bo : if this concerns shawn , what the hell are you doing here ? hope : bo . abe : well , looks like we have the break we need . larry welch just confessed to kilngng colin murphy . hope : what ? bo : oh , yeah ? abe : his story fits what we know . he says that he shot colin in the abdomen . hope : oh , my god . abe : now , he set up colin to shoot you . according to him , colin tried to get out of the deal . the two men fought ... the gun went off . hope : this is exactly what bo has been saying all along , that someone else murdered him . roman : wait a minute . why did larry suddenly decide to confess ? abe : he 's afraid of our ongoing investigation , so he thought he 'd strike a deal with the d.a . and get murder one dropped to second degree . roman : has carson palmer agreed ? abe : i have n't spoken to him yet . we still do n't have any proof that larry 's the killer . all we have right now is his word for it . bo : what more proof do you need ? he confessed . roman : so did shawn . bo : a little different . larry described exactly how colin was shot . and he 's got motive . roman : and you know as well as i do that 's not proof enough . bo : you sound like you do n't want it to be enough . roman : damn it ! you know that 's not true ! abe : listen to me , both of you ! listen to me ! now , we need some cold , hard evidence -- something to back up welch 's confession . roman : llll , i think that can be arranged . bo : what the hell is he up to ? victor : ah . start digging right here at the base of the tree . i 'll find a rock to mark the spot . nicole : me , dig ? no way . victor : now , we both know you 're capable of getting down and dirty , nicole . so you either dig a hole so we can plant this gun , or you can dig your own grave . now , it 's your choice . shawn - d : oh , mom . hope : hey , sweetie . shawn - d : what are you doing here ? the d.a . said the only visitor i was allowed to have is my attorney . bo : yeah , well , that little worm can file a complaint if he does n't like it . we got news for you . hope : yeah , we do . we have wonderful news . larry welch confessed to colin 's murder . shawn - d : okay , wait . why would larry confess ? not to save a brady , that 's for sure . hope : honey , it does n't matter why . bo : the important thing is , we'rgegetting you out of here . shawn - d : but , okay , i still shot colin . i dropped the gun and saw him fall to the gun . bo : you shot at him , but you missed . hope : that 's right . and when larry got to colin , the gun was on the ground . colin was on his feet , alive , about to take off . shawn - d : okay , but -- but why was larry there in the first place ? i - i do n't get it . bo : he hired colin to kill me . shawn - d : what ? hope : that 's right . the way we figure it is that colin was probably scared after your confrontation with him , thought you 'd go inside and blow the whistle on him . bo : the last thing colin expected was for larry to show up . apparently , the two of them struggled , larry shot colin in the abdomen , not the back . shawn - d : then it 's true . hope : it 's true . shawn - d : i did n't kill colin . hope : that 's right . shawn - d : okay , so when do i get to go ? bo : soon . very soon . larry : [ whistlg g ] roman : mr. welch , you having a nice day ? larry : oh , a wonderful day , sir . how are you doing today , captain ? salem 's finest . so , tell me , what 's the good word from the d.a . ? roman : no deal , larry . larry : i confessed . what 's his problem ? roman : commander carver and i are n't going to say anything to the d.a . until you give us the evidence to back up your story . larry : what kind of evidence ? roman : the murder weapon , for one . you 're the killer . you ought to know where that gun is . larry : yeah , i buried it . roman : where ? larry : right there at the kiriakis mansion . 50 feet from the terrace , under an old tree . roman : really . larry : yeah . roman : well , my people combed every inch of that area . larry : ha ha ha . well , you know , salem p.d . falls down on the job again . hey , look , do n't believe me . i 'll just go straight to the d.a . and tell him where the gun is , and make you look like a screwup . rex : whoa . tony : ah . it 's the sport for kings . rex : i 've always been curious about sword fighting . tony : well , i 'll teach you . cassie : i 'm back . tony : ah , cassie . [ doorbell rings ] cassie : i thought you guys might like some lunch , so i made your favorite -- roast beef and english mustard . tony : oh , is n't that wonderful ? now we can all celebrate . cassie : yes , just the three of us . rex : i 'm afraid not . cassie : what is she doing here ? tony : i asked marlena anjo t to drop by . marlena : hello , cassie , rex . tony : marlena and i have somethg g to tell you . cassie : well , i do n't want to hear anything from her . she told us that we could trust her and then she rejected us . marlena : that was n't what i wante cassie . cassie : well , you did it , and now -- now we do n't want you . tony : oh , cassie , would you please listen to what marlena has to say ? marlena : cassie , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to hurt you , i did n't mean to mislead you . i never stopped caring for you . i did what i thought was right to do , even though it was not what was in my heart . i hope you can forgive me . rex : why should we ?

why were you keeping it from us ? shawn - d : it was bad enough that i had shot colin , but then seeing it over and over in my mind how -- how i shot him in the back , i just could n't deal with telling you that your son was a ... that i 'd done something so cowar -- i just -- i could n't do it . i could n't do it . marlena : there 's so much to explain , i do n't even know where to start . cassie : whatever you say , it 'll be a lie . john : it 's okay . tony : marlena , why do n't i start ?

[ scene_break ] philip : i 'm sorry to interrupt your evening , but i have something very important to say that i 'd like everyone to hear . as shawn 's best friend , best man , and best uncle , i would like to make a toast . shawn , buddy , you are one lucky bastard . you are about to marry one of my favorite girls . and forget everything you might have heard . take it from me , man . marriage is amazing . trust me on that . whoo ! philip : in fact , the smartest thing i have ever done is to marry this beautiful lady right here . and if were n't for her , i would n't be here right now . a lot of you who are here tonight know that not too long ago , i was shipped overseas to war , and in the process , my left leg was taken from me . now , in the wake of that happening , i thought that i had lost everything . i thought that my life was over . and it was my beautiful wife who showed me how wrong i was . not only was my life not over , but my life was just beginning because we had a wonderful future to look forward to together . i had been held hostage for weeks , and it was my wife who got me home . i 'd endured hours of very painful rehab , and it was my wife that got me through it . and if i had not married my wife , i would not be standing here talking to you all right now . in fact , as it turns out , i would n't be standing at all . and when i finally got back in her arms , and i did n't think i could get any happier , my wife gave me the greatest gift of all . she gave me our little girl . when claire was born , and i held her for the first time and looked down at her face , it was the happiest moment of my life . i felt like i 'd been given a miracle . and i say this because i know shawn and mimi are gon na experience the miracle of a family very soon . you two may think you 're happy now , but just wait till you hold your baby for the first time . it will give your life a new meaning , a new level of happiness you never thought was possible . anyway , i digressed just a little bit . what i really want to say here is ... shawn and mimi , i love you both very much . we all do . and we wish you the best -- the most wonderful marriage , beautiful family , and loving life together because you deserve it . to shawn and mimi . everyone : to shawn and mimi . here here .

e.j . : wow . you 're not gon na believe what i thought i heard you just say . sami : [ chuckles ] well , do n't get carried away because that statement is very , very qualified . e.j . : oh , i 'll take what i can get . i thought you flat - out hated me . sami : no , i do n't hate you , but the fact that i care about you has never made me blind to the fact that you 're a dimera and always will be . e.j . , you ca n't put your guard down around them . e.j . : well , nicole does n't seem to think so . sami : yeah , well , nicole is ... no . no , i am not going to say nasty things about nicole anymore . e.j . : right , i believe that one . sami : it 's true , e.j . i wo n't , as long as you 'll do something for me that is very , very important to me . e.j . : what 's that ? sami : you have to protect johnny . you ca n't let him turn out like one of them . e.j . : i 'm sorry , samantha , but , um , when it comes to our son , he 's on his own . chelsea : me ? what did i have to do with it ? daniel : well , it did n't really hit me at first , but i have screwed up the life of a very decent person . that would be you . chelsea : oh . daniel : yeah . i think i 've hurt a lot of people , and i 'm just not sure i know that guy . chelsea : well , that guy , um , he 's all right , i guess . he 's just having a bad night . daniel : ah , is that what it is ? yeah . well , why do n't you do me a favor , all right ? chelsea : okay . daniel : do n't have a bad night with me , all right ? you need to take off with max and go celebrate all this great news about kate , and do not think a single thought about me . chelsea : okay . under one condition . daniel : oh , come on . chelsea : that 's your last one . daniel : hmm . so max -- you really like him , huh ? chelsea : yeah , i do . daniel : well , he is one lucky man . chloe : wait , you 're gon na call e.j . ? nicole : yeah , i mean , he said he would be right home . i mean , how long does it take to give someone a stuffed penguin ? chloe : do n't do it , nicole . do n't nag him . do n't act like it bothers you . nicole : but it does bother me . i mean , the more time he spends with sami , the more time she has to work on him . chloe : nicole , you have his ring , you have his baby , and he loves you , all right ? you have all the trumps , and the only thing that 's gon na blow it is you not being the woman he fell in love with . nicole : okay , yeah , but -- chloe : no buts , okay ? you are self - confident and non - shrewish nicole and sami does n't bother you at all . nicole : you 're right . i ca n't let her get to me . you know , e.j . is just being nice to her because of johnny . chloe : exactly . listen , you 've won , all right ? there 's nothing that sami can do to make e.j . change his mind about you . sami : you 're not even gon na try to protect your son from your father ? e.j . : samantha , you know that small part of me that you actually like ? sami : i was obviously wrong . there is n't any . e.j . : i think -- i think i know where that part is . i think it 's the part of me that resisted my father when he was trying to turn me into , you know , `` a dimera . `` now ... if we try and mold johnny into this thing or that thing , that 's not our job . out job is to just let him grow up naturally . if i try and protect him from my father , do n't allow him to decide whether he wants to be a dimera , we 're gon na have problems , 'cause he is a dimera . you ca n't hide that . sami : you 've been thinking about this a lot , have n't you ? e.j . : yeah . yeah , a lot . look , he 's my son , okay ? same thing goes for my daughter . if they want to join the family , be , you know , in the business , they can do that . but if they want to go and , you know , join the peace corps , become musicians , join the circus -- i do n't know -- that 's entirely up to them . sami : all right , that small part of you that i like is back . e.j . : now , they have you and me in their corner , but whatever they do is up to them . sami : e.j . , it 's like i 'm seeing a side of you that i never got the chance to meet . e.j . : well , you did n't really allow me to show it to you , samantha . chelsea : all right , so , take two aspirin and call me in the morning . daniel : ah , you learn well . and you , you have some fun , and you get out of here with that guy . chelsea : you 're not driving , right ?

[ scene_break ] carly : um , i was just checking in to see if you talked to melanie yet . daniel , i know you 're angry with me , but please call me . i understand that eventually you have to tell her that you 're her father , but i -- i think you were right before . she 's -- she 's been through so much already , and we should be worried about how much information she can handle . yeah . okay . who are you kidding , manning ? you 're worried what she 's gon na think about you when she finds out about this next swell piece of your history . [ scene_break ] [ machine beeping softly ] melanie : hi . daniel : hi . melanie : i was just having a dream that someone was staring at me . daniel : yeah ? so how do you feel ? melanie : it always takes a couple minutes to kind of ... wake up . daniel : yeah , i was like that through my first e.r . rotation . melanie : mm . how are you doing ? daniel : oh , let 's see what we got here . melanie : that is a very antediluvian way to take a pulse . daniel : you and your big words , you sesquipedalian . strong and steady . melanie : good . so , this joking , are you stalling from telling me something bad ? daniel : no . melanie : you sure ? 'cause when i just woke up , you looked very serious , like you were bracing yourself to give me some bad news . [ scene_break ] sami : uh , rafe , i did n't hear you come in . ej : ooh , careful , samantha . big brother is watching , you know . rafe : what 's going on ? something happen ? sami : uh , yeah . um , yeah , it did .

[ scene_break ] daniel : i 'm sorry if i keep worrying you . like i said before ... there is nothing wrong with you . you know , your recovery could actually be called a ten . remarkable . melanie : oh . it 's probably all the peace and calm i 've been getting . daniel : yeah . you 've , uh , been through a hell of a lot these last few days . melanie : i got to be honest with you . when you wake up and find out that you 've been shot on your wedding day , you think , `` well , it 's probably the most interesting piece of information i 'm gon na be getting that week , `` but carly was just getting started . daniel : yeah , you could say that . melanie : did something happen to you too ? daniel : no . no . no , not really . melanie : okay . then back to my original question -- if i 'm fine , why are you still being so serious ? daniel : well , 'cause i am a doctor , and we are very serious people . melanie : well , thank goodness for that , because without you , i would n't be here . [ chuckles ] what ? what did i say ? [ scene_break ] ej : you just made a very big mistake . sami : yeah , um , ej ... sent me a video of sydney that , uh , nicole had taken ... he just found it . rafe : really ? let me see it . ej : do n't you dare . [ scene_break ] nathan : [ sighs ] why in god 's name do we have to talk about melanie all the time ? stephanie : because you wo n't . the subject is completely off - limits to you , and that worries me . nathan : why ? stephanie : because if you were okay with it , if you did n't care , then talking about it or about her would n't bother you . i mean , the way you avoid it makes me feel like it 's just not settled . nathan : stephanie , it is settled as settled as can be , okay ? she 's married to philip . come on . i mean , they 're somewhere between salem and timbuktu , or wherever the hell they 're going . stephanie : but they 're gon na come back . nathan : stephanie , why are you doing this ? stop , all right ? melanie 's the past . you , you 're now , all right ? and the future . stephanie : you really mean that ? nathan : of course i mean that . and i 'll prove it to you . [ scene_break ] philip : no , no , i will not help you do this . i mean , does it matter that the guy also helped save my wife 's life ? chloe : what was that all about ? philip : uh , i guess you can hear this from me . chloe : what ? philip : that was the secretary of the board for the hospital . they 're , uh , considering disciplinary action against daniel . chloe : why ? philip : for letting carly into melanie 's room . chloe : oh , god . that woman , she 's like a one - person demolition derby . philip : well , i 'm sorry , but daniel knew there was a restraining order . chloe : yeah , well , so did she , and she broke the law . and what , daniel 's gon na pay for it ? philip : hey , we do n't know that . i 'll do what i can , okay ? chloe : [ sighs ] i know . thank you . philip : uh , well , i better get back to melanie . chloe : okay . philip : and do n't worry about daniel , okay ? he 's gon na be fine . i 'll see you . chloe : yeah . no thanks to carly . [ scene_break ] rafe : let me see it . sami : uh , no . rafe : no ? what do you mean no ? why not ? sami : well , i mean that , look , rafe , you were really upset . i do n't think you should put yourself through that . rafe : you just watched it . sami : i know , and ... and it was upsetting . i mean , i had to turn it off . rafe : well , yeah , but when i walked in , it was , like , your -- your eyes , they were filled with light and with hope , and ... sami : i was just remembering her . rafe : yeah . right . mm - hmm . that 's right . she 's gone . sami : rafe . rafe : what ? sami : rafe , there 's something i have to tell you . ej : do n't you do it . come on , samantha , you 've gone this far . do n't you do it . do n't blow it .

[ scene_break ] philip : i got ta be careful . melanie : oh . philip : there we go . melanie : better ? philip : yeah . you just picture that beach in greece , okay ? melanie : philip , i 'm good at a lot of things , but denial is not one of them . i ca n't stop picturing that crazy woman shooting me by picturing some beautiful beach in greece . philip : i know . i actually like that about you . melanie : good . this is out of my control now . keep thinking about her , and ... philip : and what ? melanie : how i have a father out there somewhere . and that infuriating woman will not tell me who he is . which , when you think about it , can only mean one thing . philip : what 's that ? melanie : he 's worse than trent . and i did not think that was possible . [ scene_break ] carly : i 'm not sure i know what you 're talking about . chloe : well , you have a pretty good idea , do n't you ? carly : daniel told you ? chloe : no , he did n't . he 's trying to keep it from me or protect me or whatever . carly : how did you find out ? chloe : is that what matters to you ? you come back here and ruin life after life , and you care where the leak came from ? carly : can we sit down , please ? or better yet , let 's take a walk . chloe : and , what , talk things over ? this may come as a big surprise to you , carly , but i do n't like you , and i do n't want to talk things over with you . carly : chloe , i know you 're upset . i understand -- chloe : wow , that 's insight . daniel , the man that i love , after a whole lot of pain and suffering , has finally found a life that he 's happy with . and you just breeze in here and destroy it just like that ? carly : i do n't think this will destroy his life . i really do n't . chloe : that 's not your call , is it ? you know what i do n't get ? i do n't understand how you live with yourself . did you even stop for one second to think about how this would affect daniel ? carly : of course i did . i did . and i think it 's horrible he has to find out after all these years , but i could n't tell him . i could n't . chloe : what ? carly : and i know that it 's painful , but i think the two of you can get through this . look , you may not want to hear this , but i have thought and thought about this . i do n't know if you believe in a higher power , but is n't it remarkable the coincidence that she already knew him ? not only knew him , but -- but liked him and admired him . and vice versa . i mean , you saw how hard he fought to save her life . chloe , i swear , i think daniel loved melanie long before i even told him that she was his daughter .

[ phone rings ] serena : [ exhales ] hey . melanie : hey , it 's me . do you think you could come over for a minute ? i have parker so i ca n't leave but i wanted to talk to you about the whole dr. mandrake thing . serena : uh , actually , melanie , this is n't a great time . melanie : you sound stressed out . maybe you can come over and we can kind of help each other ? [ knock ] kayla : oh ! paige : you were looking for me ? kayla : hey , yes , paige . i was hoping that you could help me through these case files . paige : yeah , no problem . kayla : super . you know , i think that you might be the only intern we 've ever had who 's always on time . paige : oh , actually , i thought i might be late today . my mom and i were possibly going to spend some time together but she never got back to me . must have found something more important to do . jj : mom ! will : okay . i - i did n't know .

[ all yelling ] will : so you 're not gon na believe what i say , but you 'll take his word for it ? sonny : he told me the same things you did . but do n't expect me to apologize for wanting confirmation . you can understand why , ca n't you ? will : yeah , i understand . i 'm sorry . sonny : just -- please -- stop saying that . paul : you know , i think maybe i should go . will : right . look , well , i 'm just here just to take him home anyway , so ... is this the only other thing that you have ? sonny : will , stop it . i 'm not coming home . adrienne : talk ? but nothing happened , what is there to talk about ? lucas : we could talk about what almost happened . adrienne : well , i 'm not a hypothetical kind of girl , lucas . lucas : listen , i 'm speaking for myself when i say this , because i do n't want to put words into your mouth , but , i know what i wanted to happen just now . so , because of that , we probably should n't spend any more time together . nicole : i am not trying to get my claws in him again . i am just trying to give him this present . maxine : with no ulterior motive ? you being so guileless and all . nicole : you know , maxine , i thought we were friends . maxine : dr. jonas is my friend . i saw what you did to him new year 's eve . and it looks like to me it 's been all downhill from there . nicole : what is wrong with you , maxine ? do you have such little faith in him that you think he needs your protection ? maxine : no . i just do n't want you thinking you can play me . i can see you have two very powerful weapons in your arsenal but they do n't work on me . nicole : all right , you may not like me , but i like you . maxine : [ laughs ] oh , i know you 're trying to disarm me . it would be good pr for dr. jonas to see us getting along . laughing . [ laughs ] it 's just not gon na happen . nicole : hey , let 's get mani / pedis sometime ... girl . oh , man , i never know what that woman is thinking . serena : maybe we could do this some other time ? melanie : look , i do n't want to hassle you , but i really do need to talk to you because you 're just so level - headed and you always know what to do . serena : so you 're resorting to flattery ? melanie : no ! no ! that 's what i think . that 's -- that 's what i know . but really , we do n't even get to spend time together anymore . [ call waiting beep ] serena : uh , um , hold on , i 've got another call , one sec . um , melanie , i 've got to take this , i 'm sorry . eric , hi , i 've been thinking about you all night . how 's your friend ? eric : she , uh , she passed away . serena : i 'm sorry . eric : it was peaceful . she led a beautiful life . afterwards , i went to the chapel and i -- you know , i was thinking about last night . i 'm really sorry the way things went with us . serena : me too . eric : you know , i want to do whatever it takes to make things right for us . serena : you mean that ? kayla : uh , you wan na maybe take a break ? paige : uh , am i doing it wrong ? kayla : no , no , of course not . i - i 've been thinking maybe i 'm doing something wrong . you know how close i am to jennifer and her kids and i know that you and jj are -- well -- paige : you -- you can say it . we 're over . kayla : well , if it would be easier for you to have a different doctor mentor you for a while , i understand . paige : no , no , i -- i love working for you . it 's really nice of you to offer , but , you do n't have to worry about it . i do n't even really think about jj anymore . i have no reason to . eve : stop it ! jj : mom , stop ! eve : get her off of me ! you 're crazy ! you are crazy ! jennifer : disgusting ! disgusting whore ! that 's what you are ! eve : jj , get her out of here . jennifer : i am not going anywhere after what i just saw . eve : you do n't even know what was going on here ! jennifer : really ? you want to explain to me why you took all your clothes off and got into bed with my son ? were you helping him with his science project ? jj : mom , do n't , she -- jennifer : are you kidding me ? you did n't leave paige because of some girl , you left her because of her mother ! melanie : so , do you want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or do you want a -- um -- uh -- [ laughs ] the elephant toy thing ? careful here , you 're obsessed with this , are n't you ? serena : what do you have in mind ? eric : lunch . something like that . serena : great . eric : before you agree , i do have one request . and i hope it does n't sound too harsh . i 'm really done with the questions about the statue . i know you said that it meant something to you but i just do n't really have it in me to deal with that particular issue anymore . serena : okay . eric : okay , then good . then how about lunch ? serena : it sounds ... great . um ... you know what , today is not gon na work . i 've got a ton to do and i 'm actually running late . eric : okay , then , how about we , uh -- serena : um , okay , i 'll -- i 'll talk to you later , eric . nicole : whoa ! what 's going on with you and eric ? will : what do you mean you 're not coming home ? sonny : i need some time . to think . will : time ? sonny : do n't make this harder than it has to be , okay ? will : but , sonny , i 'll give you all the time that you need but , please , come home ! sonny : i need to think about things and i need to do it alone . just to sort everything out . will : sonny , how are we gon na work things out if we 're not together ? look , i talked to my grandmother , she gave me the names of a couple therapists -- sonny : no , i am not doing that right now . i ca n't . will : okay . stay with your folks . but ... sonny -- sonny : i 'm not staying at my uncle vic 's . i 'm leaving salem . jennifer : that 's why jj could never say who the other girl was , because there never was another girl . it was you all along ? i could see what this did to paige . my god , she is your -- she is your daughter ! god gave you this beautiful , lovely girl and this is what you do to her ? when she was sobbing over -- over losing this boy that she loved . did you comfort her ? did you take her in your arms ? jj : mom , stop . jennifer : did you comfort her when someone else was doing her boyfriend ? eve : jennifer ... jennifer : what , am i wrong ? tell me . am i wrong ? jj : just -- i -- i hate that -- jennifer : what ? you hate what ? that you slept with paige 's mother , a woman who -- who is set out to destroy me and that you 've been lying about it the entire time ? jj : yeah . i hate that -- jennifer : yeah , yeah ? you hate it ? tell me the truth right now . there never was another girl . it was always her . it was that woman ! right there . right ? right ? jj : yeah . yeah , it was her . serena : who says there 's anything wrong with me and eric ? nicole : look , i was n't trying to hear , you just kind of made it hard not to . serena : and you could n't pass up the chance to gloat . nicole : serena , i 'm not gloating . so , is everything okay with you and eric ? serena : it 's none of your business . nicole : all right , i know you think i have some kind of agenda with asking and , well , i do , okay ! because i want eric to be happy . that 's all i want for him . and i messed things up with you two and i really regret it . serena : as you 've said ... ad nauseam . nicole : but what i do n't get is how could you two have problems without me stirring the pot first ? serena : [ laughs ] you do know that not everything is about you , do n't you ? nicole : wha -- man , trying to be nice gets you nowhere in this town . adrienne : not see you ? look , lucas , i -- i did n't come here for this , you know , i just -- i thought we should talk but just talk -- lucas : right , right , i know , i know , you do n't have to explain things , okay ? i told you , i 'm just -- i 'm doing this for myself . i mean , i realize that -- i mean , i know -- i know for a fact that i should back off . you know , you and justin you have a lot of things to work out , and i do n't -- i do n't wan na ruin that for you . adrienne : no , that 's -- that 's very sweet of you . but in -- in reality you know will and sonny and arianna , we 're all very connected , it 's not like we can avoid each other . lucas : i know , i know , but we can stop spending so much time alone together . i think that would be a good thing for me to do . adrienne : right . oh -- i -- i guess i should go then . lucas : okay . you 're such a dope , horton . paul : sonny , that 's crazy . if you 're leaving because of what happened between us , you need to take a step back -- will : will you just stay the hell out of this ? this is between me and my husband . sonny : no , it 's between the three of us . thanks to you . will : sonny , you ca n't just pack up and go . well , how do you think ari 's gon na react when you just disappear ? she already knows that something 's wrong . sonny : do n't you play that card with me . it 's not fair . will : okay . sonny : how do you think she would react to the tension if i go back home ? will : okay . but sonny , stay here . you can get a hotel room here . just stay in salem . you can be alone here . sonny : my brother 's in phoenix and i 'm gon na go stay with him for a while . i already talked to my uncle vic and he 's gon na let me take the jet out there . will : but what about coming back ? have you thought about that ? you have n't said anything about coming back . sonny : no , i have n't . will : so i -- i 'm supposed to just wait here , in limbo , while ... you 're gone ? sonny : you do what 's best for you . i need to do what 's best for myself . kayla : so , you do n't think about jj anymore at all ? paige : is that so hard to believe ? kayla : actually , yes . paige : okay , well i -- i guess i do , you know ... think about him , but not the way i used to . in the beginning , i mean , um , i do n't keep hoping that it was all a mistake and he really loves me , i know that he does n't and he did n't . and , you know what ? i 've accepted that . so i do n't , you know , cry about him or dream about him ... wake up wanting to call or text him , hoping he 'll call or text me . kayla : you know , um , when i was your age , we would actually have to call someone on their -- their home phone , you know ? a landline kind of thing . we would just go out and about our day and we would just have to sort of wonder if somebody was trying to reach us or not , you know ? paige : yeah , well , no more wondering now . kayla : there certainly is n't . you know what , baby ? i am sorry that you are going through this . and i - i know how painful it is when you love somebody and it turns out like this -- paige : no , no , no , no , no , it 's not anymore . i do n't even think of jj as someone i love , just some guy who led me on and lied to me . look , it 's -- it 's really sweet of you to worry about me , but i do n't want sympathy . i can handle myself . i 've been on my own before . as a matter of fact , i have a date . kayla : yeah ? paige : yeah , it 's , uh -- no big deal , nothing special but it lets me feel for the first time in a while that i 'm in the driver 's seat . kayla : meaning what ? paige : that i 'm in control . i wo n't let anyone hurt me like that ever again . i wo n't let that happen . i wo n't be one of those women whose life revolves around a man . i 've learned from this . that you ca n't trust it . kayla : trust what ? paige : love . you just end up getting hurt . looking like a fool . kayla : no . it is never foolish to love somebody . it 's the people who -- who -- who do n't respect love , they 're the fools . okay , so this did n't work out with you and jj . that does n't mean that you 're not going to find love again . paige : or maybe it will . kayla : no . i can pretty much guarantee that you are going to find love again . you are a smart , young , beautiful -- paige : okay , but do n't you get it ? okay , love makes you needy and -- and -- and it makes you stupid and pathetic and -- at least that 's how it made me when i was with jj and i - i do n't want to be that way , i 'm done with that . i do n't want to need anyone like i needed jj . i want to be on my own and i will be . because i know for a fact that jj ca n't hurt me anymore than he already has . jj : [ indistinct whispers ] jennifer : `` oh , somebody wants me and is very interested in what i have to give . `` i should 've known exactly what you were saying . `` well , jennifer , we share a colorful past . and there 's probably one or two other things we share . `` yeah , i remember exactly everything you said to me last night . i just did n't realize how sick it was that you actually said them . that you were so gleeful and thrilled with yourself for sleeping with my son that you had to throw out all of these disgusting , twisted , sick hints -- eve : that 's not what i was doing -- jennifer : you shut up ! i know exactly what you meant because i know you . you hate me so much you would have sex with my son to get back at me . you hate me so much you would destroy your daughter 's happiness to get back at me ! okay . hands over my head . you win . white flag . uncle . you could 've stabbed a knife in my heart and twisted it and it would not be as bad as this . jack , frankie , all the sick , self - indulgent anger that you carried around . always the victim , always making excuses for what you did and now you do this ? you are so cruel and pathetic ! that you would have to do this to hurt me one more time . jj : mom , it was n't just her . it was me too . nicole : oh , hi . eric : hi . nicole : you 're not looking for serena , are you ? because she just left a few minutes ago . eric : oh , she was here ? uh , i did n't know . nicole : well , i 'm sure you 're wondering , no , we did n't get in a fight . eric : that 's good to know . nicole : but you two did . did n't you ? melanie : yay , you came ! and you 're really tense . wow , what 's up ? serena : well , i just ran into nicole . melanie : oh ... another fight ? serena : no , not that . just , as always , she got on my nerves . and then i realized , all of a sudden , that lately everything gets on my nerves . melanie : except me , of course . i do n't get on anybody 's nerves . kidding -- what happened ? serena : i just -- i 've been trying to locate something and it 's not turning up . melanie : oh ... well ... wan na tell me about it ? maybe i can help . serena : um , no , i do n't think that you actually can . melanie : i do n't know , i would n't be so sure about that . i , uh , do n't wan na sound immodest or anything but i - i have a special way of looking at things a little differently than other people , at least that 's what my dad tells me . serena : you do n't know eric very well , do you ? but your -- your dad does ? melanie : yeah . they 're best friends . why ? serena : you know what ? i think i might just have an idea about my problem . but you said that you needed to talk , so what 's up ? will : do you mind ? paul : no , i , uh , i 'm sorry . sonny : it does n't make any difference if we 're alone . i have nothing else to say . will : say you 're not going . sonny ... please ... think about ari . think about how much she needs us both . think of all the good times that we shared -- the love . sonny , this is n't just about us . we are a family . you , me , ari , we have to work this out . sonny : maybe we can . but you need to trust me . i think what 's best for everyone is if i leave and just ... sort everything out . will : is that what 's best for paul too ? adrienne : paul . are you doing okay ? paul : yeah . adrienne : i did n't expect to see you here . paul : i think sometimes my physical therapy will never end . adrienne : oh , yeah , well , i hope you 're doing okay . paul : hey , do n't worry about me . i 'm just worried about sonny . i hope he 's doing okay . it 's good that he 's fine and getting out of here . take care of yourself , okay ? adrienne : how 'd he know that ? jennifer : was it , jj ? was it really you too ? how big of you to man up to it . how could you do this to paige ? she loved you so much ! oh , or was it just bigger than both of you ? i mean , you do n't actually have feelings for ... this ! we will talk about it later . you do know that nothing he says and nothing that he thinks he feels for you means anything . 'cause it does n't change who you are or what you are or what you 've done . and i ca n't even stand to look at your face for another second . jj : mom , please ... jennifer : no , get away from me . eve : jennifer , jennifer , please ! do n't tell paige , please . eve : please , jennifer ... jennifer : i have never heard you say the word `` please `` in all the miserable years that i have known you , eve . eve : it 's not for me . it 's for her . jennifer : oh , do you think this would bother her ? eve : she does n't deserve this , jennifer . jennifer : she does n't deserve you . you seem so concerned for her right now . did you even give her a second thought when you were in bed with her boyfriend ? eve : i 'm just begging you here -- she -- she 's just a kid . jennifer : oh , jj 's just a kid ! but you seemed to have just treated him like an adult . eve : okay -- jennifer : everyone has to grow up sometime , eve . eve : okay , okay , okay , okay ! you get to do what you wan na do . you get to stick the knife in and twist , but ... telling paige would be cruel . and you 're not cruel . jennifer : you hope . you left these at the hospital . eve : please , please , do n't -- jennifer : do n't you ever touch me again ! ever ! jj : mom , please -- jennifer : i do not understand this . i do n't understand you . eric : you know i 'm not gon na talk with you about that , do n't you ? nicole : i -- i do n't -- uh -- you do n't have to say anything . you do n't . i just want you to know that i 'm sorry . and i respect what you and serena have and i -- ah ! i almost said it again . spoke before i thought . but it 's just like i told serena , i just have a really hard time imagining you having problems without me creating them . and then she said to me , quite rightly , it 's a pretty egotistical way of thinking . but no matter what the problem is , i -- i just hope it 's not a residual of anything i did to you in the past . and i know this is probably hard for you to believe , but i really do just want you to be happy . and that ... serena 's the one . eric : you mean that , do n't you ? nicole : remember when we were friends ? i still miss that so much . and no matter how you feel about me , i want you to be happy . and i would do anything -- anything , to still be your friend . melanie : so , i kept on digging about this dr. mandrake guy and he may not be on the up - and - up because i found his tax records and stuff and they were a little dicey . serena : you got his tax records ? melanie : yeah . i did . among other things , which i probably should n't have done because they 're not really any of my business . but maybe i 'm just seeing things . he 's a doctor . like , he 's a renowned doctor . serena : yeah , that means nothing . i 've been a medical journalist for a long time and if i had a dollar for every unethical doctor or nurse i 've dealt with , i 'd be rich . melanie : yikes . serena : the medical universe is a world filled with shifty and unethical people . melanie : ah , like you . serena : why did you say that ? sonny : i do n't think you get to ask me anything in that tone of voice . will : sonny , when i got here paul had just asked you the exact same thing . did you only say `` yes `` to me because he said `` no `` to you first ? he wanted to know the truth . sonny : will , do n't -- will : but sonny , you did n't answer him . you just looked at him until you saw me standing there in the doorway . so , please , tell me , sonny , is it true ? kayla : well , looks like someone 's checking out . eric : anything 's possible . right ? nicole : i think so . is n't that a form of faith ? eric : maybe you 're right . you know , i - i have to go . take care . nicole , thank you . just for being honest . caring . nicole : okay . melanie : i was kidding . it 's a joke . serena : [ laughs ] i totally did n't get that . i told you , i 'm just too stressed . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . melanie : no , no i wanted -- serena : i , um ... melanie : -- to help you . serena : i got ta get going . melanie : no , [ mumbles ] . serena : it 's okay . i um -- i think maybe uh , i can take it from here . melanie : okay . hey , bud ! come here ! you wan na say hi to my friend ? okey - doke ! he 's a little shy . serena : [ laughs ] melanie : but i bet i know why he came in here . you wo n't believe what he 's playing with now . serena : a tablet . i mean , every kid 's obsessed with their tablet . melanie : surprisingly , no . this one 's a little bit more old school . uh , hold on , i 'll show you . hold on one sec , bud . sonny : that 's right , yeah . i 'm more than ready to go . kayla : well , i 've got your release papers all set and ready for you to sign . adrienne : will , i did n't know you 'd be here . do you wan na take sonny back to the apartment ? sonny : nah , he 's good . will 's very busy . would you mind taking me to the airport ? adrienne : airport ? sonny : yeah , uncle vic said i could use his plane . i 'm gon na go to phoenix and hang out with alex for a little while . sonny : well , honey , that 's kind of out of the blue . sonny : yeah , you know , it 's -- it 's , uh , warm weather , long walks , uh , i think it 's a great place to recuperate . adrienne : you 're gon na be joining him , right ? will : i hope so .

[ tense music ] ben : okay . ciara : you saved me , ben weston . now it 's my turn to save you . you killed your son 's mother . an innocent man could die for what you did . how -- how can you -- how can you just be okay with that , evan ? you need to confess . you need to admit what you did . sonny : hey , i know that you 're desperate to stop ben 's execution , but you can not get yourself killed . ciara : we do n't know if marlena has been able to stall the execution , sonny . and we 're running out of time . evan : can we just get my money so i can get the hell out of here ? will : ciara 's right . ben is strapped to a gurney right now about to be executed for crime that he did not commit . hey , you want to be a good father to your son , right ? evan , christian , whatever . then -- then do the right thing . own what you did . save a man 's life . evan : why do n't you just shut the hell up before i blow you away ? this is hal . sarah : um , i will take you to your room to get prepped . let 's go . gabi : no one 's going to wish me luck ? xander : just do n't muck it up . gabi : gee , thanks . eric : hey , i need to make a quick call . will you be all right ? nicole : yeah , i 'm fine . xander : i 'm so glad we wo n't have to deal with that miserable woman . although , thank god , she did agree eventually to help mackenzie even if there was a little bit of extortion involved . nicole : you definitely know a thing or two about extortion , now do n't you ? xander : uncalled for . nicole : gabi hernandez is the last person i would have guessed to be mackenzie 's bone marrow donor . and from the way you and victor were acting , i thought for sure it would have been theresa or tate . kristen : dr. raynor seemed rattled , did n't she ? brady : she 's a busy woman . she has babies to deliver . kristen : no . look , i do n't know . i do n't know . i just have this strong feeling that she was n't happy to see us . brady : she 's probably used to bringing lives into the world , not losing them . kristen : yeah , but every time i feel like i 'm starting to heal , something happens and i feel like we 're losing rachel all over again , brady . sarah : so do you have any questions about possible side effects ? gabi : well , yes . like why did n't you warn me before i agreed to this ? ouch . sarah : maybe you could look at it this way . the biggest and best side effect is that this gets you out of spending years in prison . maybe that 'll help with your ouch . gabi : hmm . i 'm saving a life and i do n't even rate a room with television . i mean , what kind of pull do you have around here ? and what if there are complications ? sarah : the risk of complications is very low . gabi : oh , good , it better be because , if not , you 'll be hearing from my lawyer . and this doctor better give me plenty of anesthesia because i have a low pain tolerance . ugh , this hospital has a horrible reputation . medical malpractice , fraternity mix - up , malicious devices put into pacemakers . sarah : it 's a good thing that julie has a high pain tolerance , after all the times you cranked up that app of yours and made her heart fibrillate . gabi : you know , if i were you , i would be a little nicer to me . sarah : or what ? you walk out of this hospital and let a child die ? sorry , you do n't really get a choice , unless you want to go back to prison or hell or wherever it is that you 're from . eric : ladies ? marlena : ben , will and ciara have gone to find the evidence they need to clear you . they will get it and they will be back . you 've got to hang on . you 've got to believe in this . and , remember , you 've got so much to live for . ben : ciara brady , you ... you have more fight in you than a bag full of bobcats . ciara : did you actually just say that ? ben : i 'm sorry . did i just say that ? i 'm sorry , it 's an ozark thing . um ... here 's the deal . if you 're too broken to love or be loved , what does that mean for someone like me ? ciara : i 'm sorry , i did n't -- ben : no , no , it 's all right . because as messed up as i am , i know there are far crazier people than me who do find love . so i 'm not giving up hope . and you ca n't either . i wo n't let you . [ tender music ] i love you , ciara . i love you . sonny : evan , please . this is not the way . shooting will -- shooting anyone is not going to solve your problem . evan : why could n't you have just stayed in prison ? sonny and i were happy . i was gon na figure out a way to be with my son , give him the life that he deserves . everything was fine until you ruined it . will : everything was fine ? you murdered your kid 's mother . you 're playing nanny to your own son . everything is not fine , obviously . evan , where is david ? evan : safe . ciara : where is david ? you need to tell us . evan : all you need to know is that my son is safe . i would never do anything to hurt him . sonny : then end this . end it . it is over . evan : no , the hell it is ! sonny : no , put the gun down ! evan : no ! no ! it was n't supposed to be like this . i thought i had time to make a plan . maybe even have somebody to love -- to share life with . we could have built a life with my little boy . but now everything is ruined . everything is falling apart . because of you ! [ grunting ] [ gunshot ] ciara : [ shrieks ] unpredictable crohn 's symptoms following you ? kristen : you know , every time i think about rachel isabella , i think of that moment when we were her mommy and daddy . and no one -- - no one else in the world knows what that feels like except you . and when we lost her ... no one in the world knows what that felt like except you . i guess it 's because we share that joy and that grief ... i want you to know that every time you put your arms around me , it makes losing her a little less unbearable . brady : well , i 'm never going to let you go . kristen : god . [ laughs ] um ... i really wish we would hear from eric , okay ?

thank you . sarah : thank you . i - i really am grateful , gabi . i hope you know that . gabi : [ sighs ] so is , uh -- i mean , this is n't going to hurt a lot , is it ? dr. raynor : maybe just a little discomfort . but it 'll be over before you know it . gabi : [ chuckles uneasily ] xander : why would you think that theresa or tate would be a bone marrow match for mickey ? nicole : because you were so insistent on getting them tested . especially tate . the way you blew in to the apartment that night , practically demanding brady , theresa , and tate get tested . xander : i hardly demanded anything . nicole : and victor went behind brady 's back and contacted theresa to make sure that it happened . what 's up with that ? xander : theresa and tate are mickey 's cousins . of course we wanted to get them tested . nicole : yeah , but you were so fixated on tate in particular . xander : oh , my god , will you stop ? i was fixated on anyone that could help me save my daughter 's life . nicole : she 's not your daughter . xander : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? sonny : will ! will , can you hear me ? oh , hey , hey ! here , can you sit up ? will : [ groans ] sonny : is there any blood ? where were you hit ? will : uh , i - i wasn't . ciara : the bullet went into the wall . will : oh , thank god it did n't hit one of maggie 's figurines . ow , ow . sonny : you hit your head pretty hard . you might have a concussion . let me help you up . will : i think i 'm fine . i 'm fine . ciara : hey ! hey ! do n't even think about it . sonny : okay . let me set you down over here . over here . okay , all right . we need to get you to the er . rafe 's still looking for david but you need to call the police . ciara : by the time they get here and get a confession , it 's gon na be too late . you 're coming with me . will : to the prison ?

nicole : well , i was wrong . xander : and i may not be mackenzie 's biological father , but there 's a whole hell of a lot more to being a dad than blood . so as far as i 'm concerned , i 'm very much that little girl 's father . brady : i was told my brother was in here . gabi : he was , but they 're not going to be back , not since they got what they wanted . oh , i 'm -- i 'm in so much pain . not that you care anyway . brady : okay , sorry to disturb you . kristen : since we 're here , there 's something i 've been wanting to say to you . xander : hey , uh ... what you heard -- i did n't mean -- eric : it 's okay . i understand . we all love mackenzie and we only want what 's best for her . xander : where is she ?

[ scene_break ] carly : i forbid you to bother melanie with this . bo : you forbid me ? carly : yes . bo : well , what if i do n't care about what you forbid ? carly : then i will be really , really mad at you . which would probably be the best thing that ever happened to you . bo : hey , look , this ... is not even my responsibility . a shooting happened , charges were filed . the d.a . office demands that the police department interview any material witnesses . i 'm not gon na lean on melanie , give her the third degree , use the flashlight . i 'm just gon na ask her to tell me the truth . carly : i 'm gon na tell her not to do it . bo : i am trying to clear you of these charges . if you obstruct justice , hell , i 'll send you up the river myself . carly : if there was any justice , melanie would n't have been given a mother who does nothing but hurt her . bo : well , here 's the thing about being a parent . you have so much responsibility in your kids ' life that hurting them kind of goes with the territory . carly : not this kind of hurt . and i have n't just hurt melanie , i 've hurt daniel . bo : daniel , he 's just being -- he got you pregnant . you dealt with it the best way you knew how . carly : well , he 's facing disciplinary action because he let me into melanie 's room . the woman that he loves found out in the worst possible way that he 's a father . i 'm a curse to him . just like i was to lawrence , just like i am to you . bo : oh , what were you supposed to do with lawrence , let him live ? so that maybe someday he would kill you or your daughter when he was in one of his rages ? carly : and what about you ? bo : do n't worry about me . i 'll decide if i 've been hurt or not and i have n't been . carly : is that why your face looks like it does after you hang up from talking to hope and ciara on the phone ? and why i hear you walking around in the middle of the night because you ca n't sleep ? bo : what 's happened between hope and me is between hope and me . carly : i came back to salem , and i made you keeper of my big secret . do n't you dare tell me that did n't screw things up with hope . and do n't you tell me that you would n't be better off if i left salem forever . [ scene_break ] daniel : melanie is my , um ... she 's my patient . i saved her life . victor : and that 's all she is to you . daniel : oh , i think that 's a lot . we doctors tend to get upset when someone tries to undo what we 've done just for the hell of it . vivian : i told you , i did n't do anything . daniel : and i told you you will never go near her again . victor : daniel -- daniel : what , you do n't like my manners with your houseguest ? the one who tried to kill your daughter - in - law , hmm ? victor : there 's absolutely no proof that anyone other than carly manning did anything to try and harm melanie . daniel : hmm . well , it 's funny how that worked out , is n't it ? well , you just keep her away from my ... patient . [ scene_break ] stephanie : i ca n't believe melanie was shot . philip : by carly . it was an accident , but it was bad . stephanie : is she okay ? philip : yeah , yeah . i mean , they had to rush her into surgery , it was scary . it was touch and go . but she came through . stephanie : thank goodness . philip : yeah , she was lucky . she should be getting out of the hospital soon . stephanie : she 's still in the hospital ? nathan : listen , i 'm gon na stop by the hospital . i got ta check my schedule and start going over my case loads . stephanie : i have to get to her . philip : well , hey , just wait , i 'll go with you -- stephanie : well , i ca n't wait . i mean , i should have been there with her already . i 'll see you later . [ scene_break ] melanie : so i asked the nurse about you , big deal . nathan : that 's not what the nurse said . she said you wanted to know why i had n't been in to see you . melanie : why are you doing this ? nathan : because you are hiding something from me and i want to know what it is . melanie : stephanie . stephanie : yes . melanie : hey , um -- stephanie : what 's up ? melanie : can i ask you a favor ? stephanie : yeah , what is it ? melanie : will you give this to nathan for me ? nathan : mel . what 's wrong , are you okay ? melanie : i wish -- you know . you 'd know if you had -- nathan : if i what , mel ? just tell me , come on . what 's wrong ? [ scene_break ] victor : so we made a little visit to melanie 's room , did we ? vivian : you heard daniel . victor : after we were specifically told not to do so . vivian : well , i went to -- i was trying to make -- i 'm trying to make her comfortable . victor : you know , vivian , that dithering thing you do stopped working on me back in the reagan administration . now tell me the truth . vivian : i was going to smother her with a pillow . victor : after i switched the poisoned comb bauble . after i stopped you , that idiotic plan you had to kill philip 's wife , you go behind my back and try it again . vivian : well , i did n't go through with it . victor : only because philip walked in on you . vivian : no , because i realized hurting an innocent girl was not the answer . victor : keep talking . vivian : carly manning is the target . she is the reason that hope and your granddaughter are living here and not with bo . victor : i 'm listening . vivian : well , there 's no reason to hurt an innocent girl , carly 's daughter , to punish carly , because she 's already arranged her own poetic justice . [ scene_break ] bo : i know what it 's like to wan na punish yourself . i 've been there . when zach died , i thought , `` why could n't it have been me ? `` hell , it should have been me . carly : no . bo : but melanie , she 's alive . and she 's feisty like her mom . she 's gon na pull through . she might not know it yet , but she needs you . carly : what i need and what i deserve are two different -- bo : oh , would you cut that out ? she 's never had a mother , you 've never had a daughter . the two of you , you 'll be good for each other . carly : i 'm not as sure about any of this as you are , i 'm sorry . bo : [ laughs ] all right , fine , all right . well , we 'll have it your way . we 'll go back to the court , change your plea , you 'll be fitted for one of the orange jumpsuits . you 'll look great in it . and your daughter will miss out on having a mother and i 'll miss out on having a future with you . a future i thought you wanted as much as i do . was i wrong ? [ scene_break ] melanie : look , you do n't get to say anything , okay , because you -- nathan : okay . melanie : i ca n't breathe . nathan : all right , are you in pain ? melanie : yes . nathan : okay , hold on one second . just try to calm down , all right ? lean forward . careful , careful , careful , careful . melanie : ouch . nathan : lay back . relax , relax , relax . okay , take a deep breath . good . that 's my girl . give me another one . thank you . [ scene_break ] bo : things are a mess , granted . but they are not impossible . carly : after what vivian did , bo , that was kind of the last straw for me . bo : you probably ca n't see this right now , but not too far down the road , all this will be behind you . and you 'll have your daughter in your life and we 'll have that fresh start we 've wanted . is n't that worth fighting for ? carly : yeah . [ scene_break ] nathan : there . you breathing easier now ? melanie : yeah . nathan : think it was just an anxiety attack . melanie : yeah , and then i moved . nathan : yeah , you disrupted the surgical wound . but you look fine , so ... stephanie : melanie ? hey . i 'm so sorry , i just heard . melanie : it 's okay . i was wondering where you were . stephanie : i was out of town . melanie : you too . oh . you guys went away together , huh ? [ scene_break ] carly : philip . bo told me what happened with vivian . how 's melanie ? i ca n't get the hospital to give me any information . philip : oh , why do n't you just break into the nurse 's station -- no , better yet , break into her room like vivian did . see it for yourself . carly : okay , i had that coming . philip : no , carly , you have a lot worse coming . karma 's a bitch . one question , though . where was your famous concern when melanie was being abused by the father you picked out for her , hmm ? carly : i just wan na know how she 's doing . philip : well , i do n't think she 's gon na be great , carly . not as long as vivian has her scoped out as a way to get to you . carly : that 's right . look , i know you do n't like me and you do n't trust me , but you have to listen to me for just a minute , okay ? look . when melanie is released from the hospital , you can not take her back to your father 's house , not with vivian there . and i do n't care how many times victor insists that he has the situation under control . he does n't . you 're her husband now , philip . you have to protect melanie from vivian . [ scene_break ] victor : you promised me twice now that you would n't lay a glove on melanie . vivian : well , i -- i did n't , technically . victor : have you noticed the nondescript brown sedan that 's parked across the street ? the one with a guy with a polyester sports jacket sitting in it ? that 's bo 's guy . bo would love to make a case against you . and he wants me to help him ... turn over that poisoned comb , the one you were going to use against melanie . metal rod you were going to use to knock her off the roof . and i would become father of the year for helping bo . and you would move into a big house with a lot of scary , horny women . vivian : [ sighs ] victor . look , i was out of my mind with pain when i lost lawrence . victor : yes , i heard you talking to the walls . vivian : i -- i thought that hurting carly 's daughter was the revenge lawrence wanted . victor : oh , so this was his idiotic plan ? vivian : yeah , what i 'm saying is that i 'm -- i 'm back to my old self . victor : oh , that should be very reassuring for me . vivian : well , i mean , i am no longer a threat to melanie . victor : you 've come to that epiphany many times before . vivian : i mean it this time . i swear to you on lawrence 's life . victor : lawrence 's life ? what life ? lawrence is as dead as vaudeville . vivian : all right , fine , then on my life . if something happens to melanie , may it strike me dead . please believe me , victor .

[ sighs ] okay , you know what ? i really did just come by to say hi , but now i think i 'll say good - bye instead . oh ! really ? daniel : hmm . wow . it seems your flair for the dramatic has failed you . nicole : [ mocking laugh ] it 's not funny . it just -- [ sighs ] daniel : well , it kind of is . nicole : maybe a little . thanks . jennifer : you did it to hurt paige ? jj : no . i never wanted to hurt her . i loved her but i screwed it all up , and that night ... i loved her so much but i ended up losing her . jennifer : you are not making any sense to me right now . jj : she found out about dad and kayla . and i just -- i could n't figure out a way how to tell her that dad was the one who raped kayla . and she did find out and it was a mess . jennifer : and she blamed you ? is -- jj : no , mom . i blame myself . it was like i was a bad person . like i was capable of something like that too . i did n't think that someone like me deserved someone as great as paige . and i started drinking and that made everything worse . jennifer : jj , why ? please ! jj : paige -- paige and i had a terrible fight , and it was so bad that she ran away . and i could n't deal with the idea of being without her ... even though i was sure that she was already done with me . i went to go find her at her apartment . jennifer : okay , and then ? jj : she was there , eve ... and she had just gotten terrible news . the surgery that she was supposed to have , the doctor said that it was n't gon na help her voice . so she knew that her singing career was over and that meant the world to her , just like paige meant the world to me . jennifer : go on . jj : we were both alone ... and it just happened . i know you hate me for this , but not as much as i hate myself . jennifer : right . but that was months ago . what about tonight ? why were you with eve tonight ? eve : i did nothing to paige ! nothing ! theresa : all right , you know , if you were a lady , i 'd say you 're protesting too much . look , i know we 're not exactly kim and khloe ... eve : what ? what are you even saying ? theresa : but we are sisters , okay ? and you can talk to me , eve . i mean , something 's clearly tearing you up inside -- [ phone rings ] eve : paige ! honey , you just give me a minute . i swear to you i can explain everything , all right ? hope : the kids should be here any minute . aiden : yeah . hope : i 'm so excited , i can barely contain myself . you must be excited to see chase too . aiden : so excited . i ca n't wait to see that little guy . now that we got that house sold up at puget sound , if you like , we can make a fresh start . hope : i think you 're right . aiden : mm - hmm , mm - hmm . and speaking of the future , i really hope that you 're gon na be a big part of it . daniel : i , uh ... i do n't think i can trust , um , myself to be alone with you . nicole : does n't that say something ? daniel : i think it would be better if you just called me next time . nicole : so you 're saying there 's a `` next time . `` cool . um , well , maybe things will get better between us ... next time . daniel : you know , i want to believe and trust what you 're feeling ... but i ca n't ... yet . time . time will tell . nicole : daniel ... i know you . you 'll hem and you 'll haw , you 'll ruminate , and then we 'll be in limbo instead of -- [ sighs ] okay . if only time will tell , i think i know a way to speed up the process . eve : paige ? paige : look , mom , i know we did n't make definite plans , but i thought we kind of decided to do something together . eve : we did . honey , yes , yes , we did . paige : okay , well , i 'm in the town square , but , um , i can come over if you want . eve : no , you know what ? um , you stay right where you are and i will meet you there , okay ? uh , paige ? paige : yeah ? eve : i love you . theresa : wow . sounds like you dodged a bullet right there . so what was it that you could explain ? eve : oh , my god . do n't you have a job or something ? someplace to go , work ? theresa : do n't rub it in . some of us do n't get monthly stipends . we actually have to have jobs . eve : i have a job , all right ? and it 's to protect my daughter . it 's loving her and being there for her , but of course you would n't know what that 's about because you 're not a mother ! but you know what ? i need you to get out of my apartment now . i got ta go find my daughter . go on , theresa , get out ! theresa : okay . eve : [ sighs ] jennifer : it 's a pretty straightforward question . what about tonight ? you keep telling me that it just -- just happened . did it just happen tonight in the hotel room of the girl that you wanted me to believe was the object of your desire , jj ? jj : mom , please -- jennifer : 'cause it really seems to me that it took a certain amount of planning for what i saw in that hotel room for it to just happen . a certain amount of deception . and i guess what you mean by `` it just happened `` is that it was just beyond your control . you were swept away . so when you were in the hotel room with eve , did you even for one second think ? did you think about what would happen ? did you think about the other time and what it did to paige ? did you think about what it did to me when i was watching you go through so much pain and i could n't do anything to help you ? did you think of anyone but yourself at that point , jj ? jj : you know what ? you saw me every day . i walked around looking like i was gon na throw up . did i think ? every day and every hour . and there would be a couple seconds in the morning when i would wake up and not remember , and then it would slam into me before i even got out of bed ! did i think ? i thought i was a horrible person . jennifer : yes ! i know that because i saw you and i know who did that to you . jj : i did it to myself . jennifer : oh , do n't you defend her , jj . jj : i 'm not ... jennifer : do n't ! jj : but i was n't a victim . and all the drugs and the stealing and the hell that i put you through , in all that ... not once did you look at me the way you 're looking at me right now . you have every right to . jennifer : oh , my gosh . what has that woman done to you ? tell me . jj : no , mom . what have i done to you ? i 'm ... sorry . jennifer : you should have just told me . jj : what was i supposed to say ? that i 'd hooked up with your worst enemy ? the look on your face right now . jennifer : ugh ! jj : i just did n't have -- after everything we 've been through and how far we 've come , i just ... i did n't want you to be disappointed in me again . jennifer : i 'm telling you , jj , that this , this whole thing , you and eve , it did n't just happen . eve planned it because she told me that she would do anything to keep you away from paige . jj : that was n't it , mom . i 'd already lost paige the first time it happened . it was over . jennifer : the first time ? jj : and she was so freaked out and upset as i was . and she said i was never going to even see paige . so we 're gon na forget that it ever even happened , but then she figured out that i was still seeing paige , and that 's when she lied to paige about her grandfather being sick so she would go out to california . i thought i was never gon na see paige again , that i was never gon na see eve again . jennifer : right , but you told me and your sister that you were seeing someone else then . jj : no , no , it was ... it was eve . she came back to salem without paige , and ... i slept with her again . we 're here today aiden : hey . hope : yeah ? aiden : you know , when you were telling me about what happened with ciara , i remember thinking , `` this woman knows exactly how i feel about chase and what you do to protect a child , keep them safe . `` hope : i understand how you feel . i only wish i could have been there to help you . aiden : but you did , you do , and you will . i 'm sorry , does that sound a little presumptuous ? because i think you 're stuck with me , baby . hope : well , then i guess i 'm stuck being very happy . aiden : hmm . chase : daddy ! aiden : hey ! there 's my guy ! get over here . aww , i 'm so happy to see you . ciara : mommy ! hope : oh , ciara ! hi , sweetheart ! oh , my gosh . i have missed you , my baby . missed you . let me see you . i think you 've grown . melanie : theresa , hey . um , i still do n't have my new badge , and it 's kind of a pain getting in and out of the hospital garage . theresa : oh . that 's a temporary one . what happened to the old one ? melanie : um , i lost it . apparently somebody in your department picked the most unflattering picture they could find . theresa : oh , well , cameras do n't lie . melanie : why do you have to be such a bitch all the time ? theresa : because i can be . serena : there 's more where that came from . daniel : oh , my goodness . serena : thank you for seeing me . daniel : oh , no worries . here , sit . uh , so what 's -- what 's on your mind ? serena : um ... you know how much i love eric . we got into this silly fight . daniel : okay , eric 's the most reasonable guy i know . i think you guys will work it out . serena : actually , i was hoping that maybe you could help find something out for me . it 's totally harmless . daniel : okay , serena ... absolutely not . jennifer : why , jj ? i just ca n't understand why . jj : i know that it makes you mad when i say that it just happened , but ... when eve was back from california , i knew that she was trying to keep paige away from me . and i thought that -- that i could convince her that paige and i -- that we were really good for each other , because i cared about paige more than i cared about anyone . and i know that she really does love her daughter ... jennifer : no . jj : like you love me . and i thought that maybe she could see that i could ... that i could make paige happy . jennifer : but she did n't . jj : no . she was scary . um , she said i 'd never have paige . and it was like eve was so crazy about keeping paige and me apart that i thought that she was just gon na go ahead and tell her ... about her and me , i mean . and -- and that would kill paige . jennifer : so you went to bed with her ? jj ! jj : mom , i ca n't -- jennifer : what ? jj : i ca n't explain it . it was like we were both out of our minds and -- jennifer : and what ? and what ? please ! jj : it did n't seem to make a difference . nothing did . because if i could do something like this that would hurt paige so much , and hurt you so much , i figured out i 'm just no good . and i do n't deserve to have people love me . eve : hi , honey . paige : oh , hi , mom . eve : there 's that smile i love . paige : you should , you paid for three years of orthodontia . eve : [ laughs ] well , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry about before . paige : yeah , what ? eve : you know , but since we 're celebrating today , how about we go get you a new phone ? actually , we can get you a whole new number . we can go right over -- paige : wait , wait , wait . why would you want to do that ? jennifer : i am so mad at you . i am furious . and i am disappointed . but do n't you ever say something like that again because that is not true . jj : you do n't want it to be true , but it is . it 's something else eve and i have in common . we 're both no good . jennifer : do n't you say that . because if you were no good , you would n't have suffered like you did , and i knew that there was something tearing you up inside , jj . jj : i hated her , mom . i hated her and it just kept on going . jennifer : oh , jj . jj : i kept on . i know it was crazy , but i was crazy since the first night . when i told paige that i was with someone else , she wanted to know who . i could n't tell her . it 's not like i could go out with someone for real just to throw paige off track . she -- she just cared about me so much . i made it all worse . because that 's what i do . jennifer : jj ... i need to ask you a question . how do you feel about eve ? look at me . do you have feelings for her ? ciara : we got to see the crookedest street in the whole world . chase : yeah , and we went across the golden gate bridge . ciara : yeah , melody pinkus threw up . aiden : ugh ! well , that sounds like a trip of a lifetime right there . hope : yeah , yeah , wow . after all that , you must think salem 's dull and boring , huh ? ciara : it is , but you know one thing ? the food there was awful . chase : yuck . aiden : aww . hope : then maybe i guess dinner at the pub sounds like a pretty good idea . how about grandma 's mac and cheese with bacon ? what do you think ? ciara : can chase and his dad come too ? hope : yeah , of course , absolutely . well , actually , we are issuing a challenge . we think that the parents can eat more mac and cheese than the kids . chase : that 's not fair . we 're little . ciara : we 'll have to handicap it . aiden : handicap ? hope : yeah , absolutely . grab your backpacks and let 's go , okay , kids ? ciara : chase , do n't eat anything till we get to the pub . hope : that 's my daughter . aiden : oh , a food challenge ? you think that 's a good idea ? hope : scared , mr. jennings ? aiden : i 'm a little bit scared . you know how competitive i can be . you may end up like melody pinkus . [ fakes retching ] hope : [ laughs ] melanie : it 's so ironic that you work in human resources since you 're not a human and you do n't have any resources . how about you make a badge by the end of my shift ? theresa : how about i make a new badge when i get around to doing the next batch , which will be at the end of next month ? hey ! melanie : ugh ! maybe you could start making a batch now ? theresa : you know what ? it 's not gon na help because no matter what picture they choose , you 're still gon na look like something that the cat dragged in . oh , and speaking of wet rats , look who 's here . nicole : you know what ? that girl could really use a hug ... or electroshock therapy . melanie : mmm , mm - hmm , yeah . i like that one . how 'd it go with my dad ? nicole : [ stammers ] anyway , i wanted to talk to you about my next move . but how about i buy you a drink ? you look like you need a drink . melanie : yeah , i know i 'm not supposed to let her get to me , but i ca n't help it . if hate were people , she would be china because she hates me , she hates my dad , she hates brady , she hates abigail , she hates abigail 's mom ... nicole : and a partridge in a pear tree . so i guess it 's just as well that you decided to drop the whole thing with her and that dr. mandrake ? melanie : i do n't know . is it ? serena : you said no before you even heard what i was gon na ask . daniel : okay , i am not going to spy on my friend for you . serena : i would n't put it that way . daniel : it does n't matter how you put it . like i said , eric is nothing if not reasonable . if you two ca n't work whatever it is out , maybe it should n't work out . serena : that 's harsh . daniel : that 's me being direct with you . look , this is between you and eric . you need to trust him . parker : daddy , did you bring my toy ? daniel : no , no , it has to stay at the apartment . parker : why ? daniel : well , it 's not a toy . it 's an elephant . eve : i - i just do n't want anybody bothering you , sweetheart . paige : you mean like jj . eve : yeah , yeah . paige : do n't worry about it . i met his new girlfriend today . jj and i wo n't be talking . eve : really ? okay , well , then how about a brand - new start with a brand - new number ? paige : well , great , but i do n't need a new phone , and it would n't keep me from seeing jj . as a matter of fact , i ... i just did . jj : do i have feelings for eve ? yeah . hate 's a feeling , is n't it ? i hate her as much as i love paige . and paige is everything i ever wanted , thanks to eve . and the fact that i 'm a stupid , worthless jerk ... i 'm never gon na have her . and now that you know what i did , you 're probably facing up to what you 've always tried to deny , that i 'm a worthless sack -- jennifer : jj , stop . please stop . jj : mom , i saw your eyes when you were looking at me in that bed . i wish i could -- i wish i could go back and change everything , but i ca n't . i wish i could go back to that night when i was first with eve and just walk out the door , but i ca n't . i blew up everything that was good about my life ... and now i have to just live with the rest . jennifer : no , jj , listen to me . the hate -- the hate that you feel for eve ... that is what she feels for me , and that is why she did this to you and to paige , her daughter , jj . jj : mom , it does n't matter now , does it ? 'cause it 's all over . now you know what i did , and soon abigail will know , and daniel , and everyone else in the family ... and paige . and she 'll know what kind of person i really am . serena : you have an elephant ? daniel : yeah , yeah . he 's crazy about this elephant statue eric gave me . are n't you , kiddo ? parker : yeah . daniel : yeah . [ chuckles ] wo n't let it go . nicole : wait , what ? are you saying you 're back on the case , sherlock ? melanie : yeah , no . i 'm through trying to dig up dirt on mandrake , and i do n't really want anything to do with theresa anymore . nicole : good , good . so how about that drink ? melanie : yeah , i would like one . um , i 'm on duty though . nicole : oh , that 's a problem . i 'd really hate to have a job where you ca n't drink . melanie : [ chuckles ] nicole : anyway , bye . theresa : you little bitch . you lied to me about that mandrake guy and i want to know why . eve : you saw jj ? paige : yeah , i do n't really want to talk about it , but it was kind of weird . eve : really ? paige : yeah , he was with his mom , and i 've never seen her so mad . eve : honey , i , um ... i think there 's something that you should know . jennifer : paige is not going to find out about this ... nor will anyone else 'cause i 'm not telling anyone . and i do n't think eve will either . jj : thank you . 'cause it would kill paige . and all i want is for paige to be happy . all i ever wanted was a chance to do that for her , and ... now that chance is gone forever . jennifer : maybe . but maybe it is n't . | jennifer questioned why jj was with eve . paige was watching them while they were arguing . when jj noticed paige , he wanted to stop talking . jennifer wanted to tell paige . roman talked to aiden about him being with hope . jennifer ended up not telling paige the truth . abe and hope talked about aiden . roman gave aiden his approval of him being with hope . theresa went to see eve , but eve did n't want her there . theresa suspected that eve did something to paige . when jennifer and jj were home , they talked about him sleeping with eve . jennifer thought eve seduced him to get back at her , but he said it was because of paige . nicole went to see daniel to try and get him back . jj told jennifer why he hurt paige . theresa wanted to know what wads going on with eve . when paige called , eve thought she knew the truth . |

deimos : good morning . maggie : morning . good - bye . deimos : [ laughs ] well , i guess victor 's given you your marching orders where it comes to me , huh ? maggie : my hus -- i am curious about something . i can certainly understand how spending 30 years in prison must have given you a terrible feeling of waste . but just because victor -- my husband , your brother -- used that same time to build a wonderful life for himself and his family -- why are you so determined to hurt him ? deimos : oh , my god . he has n't told you the truth , has he ? victor : her name was helena . beautiful girl . sweet , smart , long black hair , blue eyes that literally glowed . and then the night before we were to be married , deimos seduced her . then he came to me and spit it in my face . caroline : well -- well , victor , maybe this is more difficult to talk about than i realized it was , so if you -- victor : no . i want to explain . next morning , i saw her standing on a hillside overlooking the aegean . i confronted her . she admitted it . we fought . she fell , hitting her head on a rock as she tumbled down . caroline : oh , my god . victor : when the police and i found her body , deimos was standing right next to her , blood on his hands . had a note from her in his pocket saying that she never wanted to see him again . police arrested him for murder . he got life , commuted after 30 years . that 's it . you know , this is the first time i 've ever told anyone the whole story . caroline : well , is -- is that the whole story ? victor : what do you mean ? caroline : victor , i have to ask ... you were angry , i mean , you were jealous . she betrayed you . victor : yes ? caroline : well , i just have -- have to ask you : did you murder her and let your brother be convicted ? maggie : what truth has n't my husband told me ? deimos : oh , my brother . unbelievable . he 's spun so many lies about me for so long . he probably believes them himself . maggie : what lies ? deimos : i 'll tell you what . i 'll let him explain it to you himself . have a good day . victor : no , no , there w -- there was no murder . it was an accident . she was kicking the ground , furious with me for cancelling the wedding , angry at herself for being so weak , and then she -- she just stumbled . i reached to catch her and she pulled her hand away , and that 's it . she was gone . i mean , i was horrified . and then , when deimos was arrested , well , quite frankly , after what he had done , i thought it was a perfect punishment . is there anything else you 'd like to know ? caroline : have you told maggie yet ? victor : no . i did n't want her to hate me . caroline : oh , victor , it 's all right for your brother to hate you all these years ? victor : he was a son of a bitch then . he 's a son of a bitch now . let him . caroline : even if it causes you all this stress ? victor : i can handle anything that deimos throws my way . oh , he 'll keep coming after me , but always at an angle . caroline : what does that mean ? victor : it means that he 's not man enough to come at me face - to - face . he 'll keep going after the people that i love . belle : philip , what i want is to build a life . you know , a real one where i can be there for my daughter and make her happy , and -- philip : and to hell with me . belle : i did n't say that . philip : okay . a life without me . belle : [ sighs ] philip , i just ... philip : last night , you were happy , having fun , totally letting go . so was i . then the sun comes up , and you decide -- i mean , what the hell ?

[ scene_break ] tony : ah . tony dimera . morgan : morgan hollingsworth . it 's very nice to meet you , mr. dimera . tony : nice to meet you , too . please sit down . morgan : thank you . tony : so , i 've had a chance to look at your records , read your application , letters of recommendation . i must say , quite impressive . morgan : well , thank you . and i have to say , this is an amazing agency . are all those people out there really working on accounts ? tony : oh , i hope so . well , that 's why i 'm paying them . so , you 're hoping for a career in advertising . morgan : actually , i 'm hoping to own my own agency one day . i can only hope , though , that it 's as successful as this one . tony : do you know how it got this way ? by concentrating on wooing the big accounts and delivering sales beyond our predictions and their expectations , making sure we keep ahead of the trends and outright creating them , and making sure we 're targeting the right demographic targets through exhaustive research , focus groups , test marketing . morgan : wow . so , what exactly would be my duties ? tony : well , apart from taking notes , possibly taking out perspective clients ' children to movies , out for an ice cream , but i 'll tell you something -- you 'll learn something every day about the business and certainly about yourself , i hope . morgan : well , when do i start ? i guess i 'm being a little presumptuous , are n't i ? tony : no , no . actually , i think it 's great that you 're very clear about what it is you want . morgan : i want this job . i have five other interviews today , but i will cancel them right now if you tell me i can intern here . tony : oh . i 'd love you to ... on one condition -- i want you to pass this little test i 'm about to give you .

[ chuckles ] and believe me , honey , you do n't really want to be an intern here . stephanie : why not ? anna : because this place is barely surviving . i mean , my boss is a voice on the speaker phone . he does n't care about the company . he does n't come in at all . and i really -- i really think this company is gon na go under unless i can do something to turn it around , and i do n't know how to do that unless i -- never mind . none of this is your problem . stephanie : no , tell me , please . anna : [ sighs ] [ chuckles ] well , okay . what the heck ? see , this is n't just business for me . this is ... personal . tony does n't think i can do this , and i have to prove to him that i can . stephanie : what do you care what tony thinks ? anna : you know what ? i do n't . [ chuckles ] i mean , i already know what he thinks of me . you 're right . i - i should n't be doing this to prove myself to him . i should be doing it to prove it to myself . i just have to figure out a way to make that happen . stephanie : so , what can i do to help ? [ scene_break ] max : i 'm your friend , nick . and i know how important getting this grant is for you , so i just think maybe getting some early feedback from your advisers might help . or is n't that allowed ? nick : of course that 's allowed . max : okay . then do it . look , i got to get back to work . i 'm sorry . good luck with all your calculations . nick : bye , max .

[ scene_break ] anna : i appreciate your enthusiasm . i really do . but i honestly do n't think that you or anyone can do anything to turn this place around . stephanie : are you sure ? anna : well , there might be one thing . it 's a new ad campaign that could keep the company from going under , but i just do n't think we 'll get it . stephanie : what is it ? anna : it 's an exclusive new product line for a major discount chain -- quality goods for discount prices . stephanie : is that the slogan ? anna : no , that 's the concept , and they 've asked us to come up with an ad campaign . stephanie : what about a celebrity spokesperson ? anna : oh , way too expensive . stephanie : right . um ... celebrity look - alike . anna : or celebrity look - alikes . stephanie : you may not be as rich as a star ... anna : but you can certainly dress , smell , play , decorate , sleep like one . stephanie : everyday people living out their dreams . anna : at discount prices . you know , this could work . stephanie : i 'd love to find out . anna : ugh . do you know the odds that they 'd pick an underdog agency like this one ? stephanie : well , i love a challenge , and this sounds exactly like the place i want to be . anna : [ chuckling ] oh , honey , this place is definitely challenged . are you sure ? stephanie : i have some other interviews lined up today , but i will call them and cancel if you let me intern here . anna : okay . you 're hired . [ laughs ] welcome aboard the sinking ship . stephanie : thank you . [ scene_break ] john : were you familiar with any of stefano 's business dealings ? dr. rolf : i 'm a scientist , not an accountant . stefano : a man 's entire life -- everything he knew , everything he remembered -- has been extracted from his brain and placed on this single little disk . dr. rolf : so , would you like to tell me what my duties will be ? john : whatever i want you to do so i do n't throw your sorry butt back in jail . she was right , was n't she ? the old john not only would have left you locked up , he would have thrown away that key , would n't he ?

why ? chloe : well , i was worried that you 're angry at me . kate : angry at you ? what about ? chloe : lucas drinking again . kate : chloe , come on . i told you -- chloe : i know that you said you were n't , but i was so mad at myself about it that i figured you must be , too . kate : darling , if i felt that way , i would tell you . i think that you and i have to be honest with each other about absolutely everything . do n't you agree ? chloe : sure . kate : i mean , if i 've learned anything over the years , it 's that honesty is the best way . i mean , what 's covered up , denied festers , and the fallout can be just devastating . chloe : yeah , well , it does n't ever seem to work out well in operas . kate : oh , good lord . listen to me . i 'm absolutely ruining a lovely lunch , and here we have a beautiful young bride - to - be . chloe : oh , speaking of that , i have something to show you . all right . take a look at this . kate : what is it ? chloe : it 's my wedding dress . nicole : so , e.j . went to talk to roman about the guy who was guarding you . sami : right . nicole : why ? sami : i do n't know . i guess because e.j . thought he was protecting me . i mean , he and rafe did n't exactly hit it off . nicole : so e.j . did n't come home to his daughter because he was protecting you from your ex - bodyguard . sami : yeah . nicole : [ laughs ] no , no , no . this had to be about johnny . obviously , he did n't want this guy being around him . sami : oh , 'cause that 's not hypocritical . when my son is staying at chez dimera , i do n't have a right to say who e.j . gets to shack up with . nicole : always a pleasure . sami : all right , nicole , fine . all right , it slipped out . old habits and whatnot . i meant what i said . we have to find a way to get along . nicole : meaning you want something from me . so spill . what is it ? sami : yes , nicole . i do want something from you , but , luckily , it 's something you want , too . nicole : yeah , right . sami : we both have a child with e.j . , but i 've been in this position longer than you have . i know more . nicole : there are significant differences , sami . he loves me . there 's no question of paternity . sami : okay , fine . but we do both have a child with e.j . , okay ? and maybe he was doing it to protect johnny this morning , but , you know , ultimately , it does n't matter why he was doing it . e.j . is a dimera , and he must think he still owns me somehow . and maybe he 's more involved than stefano . i mean , if it were stefano , he 'd probably tell e.j . to start a harem and then find more women to have sons with . nicole : what ? that is not true . sami : e.j . and i share a son , and i would n't trade johnny for anything in the world . but obviously you think things are gon na work out with your baby . you think it 's gon na be okay , and who knows ? you might be right . maybe it will . but i would n't do that again in a million years . nicole : you 're scared , are n't you ? really scared . melanie : do n't bad things happen to guys who hit on their interns in presidential offices ? philip : how the hell did you get in here ? melanie : that 's not what you need to be focusing on . you need to listen to what i have to tell you . philip : i will call security and have you thrown out , again . melanie : so you guys patched things up ? stephanie : do you want me to go , philip ? philip : no , no , she 's leaving now . melanie : listen , philip , you need to listen to me . i just found out that e.j . is not going forward with the project . now , this can be very good news for titan and , of course , also for myself . philip : good news for you that your corporate espionage blew up in your face ? melanie : i 'm really hoping that you will focus on the opportunity we now have . with e.j . out of the picture , we can forge ahead without any competition . philip : you know , i agree with that . melanie : you do ? philip : except with the pronoun . i can forge ahead , not we . melanie : nick gave me the project . if that project makes money , that money is mine . philip : not if titan decides to sue you for breach of contract or intellectual property theft . i have seven lawyers on this very floor . how many do you have ? melanie : you know what nick wanted . he wanted me to have his profits . philip : melanie , it 's over , done with . you lost . you have one last decision to make . do you want to walk , or do you want to be thrown out of the office ? sami : nicole , i 'm not scared . i just want my life back . and i do n't want e.j . involved in my life anymore , and i think you do n't want that , either . nicole : so you 're saying all i have to do is tell him to back off , you 're out of bounds , and he 'll buy it . sami : no , i told him that already this morning , and you 're right . i do n't think it had any effect on him . nicole : and you think coming from me it will . sami : well , yeah . nicole , just explain to him that he has to stop obsessing about me or johnny , if that 's how you want to look at it . otherwise , he could lose what he wants most . nicole : you want me to use my daughter as leverage to get you what you want . sami : you want it , too , nicole . look , i 'm trying to be nice here , okay ? i 'm trying to change how you and i do business . but i think it would be smart for you to remember that i do have some power in this situation . nicole : [ chuckles ] wow . if that 's a threat , i 'm not worried about you and e.j . sami : you would be if you knew . nicole : what ? if i knew what , sami ? chloe : you do n't like it . kate : no , it 's -- it 's fine . i just -- well , i thought you were gon na wait a little while before you started planning the wedding . chloe : uh , yeah , i was , but nicole and i went to pick out her dress . i 'm her maid of honor , and , well , i guess we just got a little carried away . kate : you get carried away a lot , do n't you ? must be the artist streak . you know , passionate , impetuous , reckless . are you sure you 're not gon na have problems settling down to a dull , married life ? chloe : no . kate : that is really so sweet . i mean , it 's so unusual nowadays to find a young woman who would voluntarily choose monogamy . melanie : you did this , did n't you ? you got e.j . to back out of the deal ? philip : of course i did . it 's in my best interest to protect this company 's assets , and i 'm not about to be bested by smurfette . melanie : this is n't business anymore , philip . this is personal . you 're doing it to get back at me . philip : of course , again . melanie , you 're like a 2-year - old who pulls on a dog 's ears and then gets indignant when the dog bites . and the longer you stay here being , you know , melanie - esque , the more likely i am to bring legal action , so it 's in your best interest to get the hell out of here . melanie : i 'm going . i 'm going . you know , you 're very lucky , stephanie . you got yourself a real prince charming . philip : unbelievable . absolutely unbelievable . stephanie : yeah , kind of like you . e.j . : money will be wired to you by the end of the day . excellent . father , that japanese associate of ours has agreed to sell off his shares of the petroleum company . stefano : and the shares cost ? e.j . : 18 cents below what you wanted to buy them for . stefano : good work . yes , that 's a sizable savings . e.j . : although , if i 'm being completely honest , i still think that we should have waited . the way the market is today ... stefano : are you questioning my expertise ? e.j . : i 'm not questioning your expertise , but i do oversee day - to - day operations , and i keep a fairly close eye on what 's happening in the markets . stefano : well , listen , i think that we can talk about the international markets later . right now , i think what we should focus on is the domestic . e.j . : meaning what ? stefano : meaning i just saw your fiancée having a cozy little luncheon with samantha brady . now , what do you think that is all about ? sami : i just want to be left alone , okay ? so i think you can make it clear to e.j . how much he 's risking by continuing to deal with me . nicole : and if i do n't ? sami : all right . this is definitely something i do n't want you to know , but fine . you know the guy from the witness - protection program , the one who was guarding me ? nicole : mm - hmm . sami : e.j . saw us kiss . and he went ballistic . why do you think that is ? nicole : obviously he does n't want johnny 's mother hanging around hired muscle . sami : or e.j . does n't want to see me kissing anyone else . because none of us may want to admit it , but what e.j . and i had ... it 's still there . announcer : out of all the gloom and doom comes the great buys of moneywise . they 're `` global national `` stories that show you how to get the most out of your money whether you 're buying for the table or for the whole house . to see how far it 'll go , see `` global national . `` stephanie : i should get back to work . philip : but we were talking . i thought we were getting somewhere . stephanie : maybe we were , but then she showed up . philip : you ca n't possibly think i have feelings for her . you saw how i dealt with her . stephanie : yeah , i did , and i did n't like it . philip : now you 're sticking up for melanie . stephanie : no , our problem -- and it 's huge -- is that you have your dad and i have mine . philip : i do n't get it . stephanie : okay , my dad 's tough , really tough -- definitely not cuddly -- but i 've never seen him kick someone when they were down . philip : and you think that 's what i did ? stephanie : i know you 're not gon na sue melanie . you just wanted to scare her . philip : but she -- stephanie : brought it on herself ? sure , but it 's in your kiriakis blood to go in for the kill , just like your father does . philip : it 's business . stephanie : yeah , just like making out with melanie on maggie 's kitchen table was business ? i do n't like the things you call `` business . `` look , you want to try and change ? go ahead , but you 'd be giving up your life 's mission . philip : what , you think this is my mission ? stephanie : no , i think it 's showing the world that you 're as strong as your father . melanie : so , you think my life is funny ? max : it 's really bad , is n't it ? melanie : everybody hates me . max : `` everybody `` as in who ? melanie : philip . he 's just as mean as ever . max : and for no reason . who else ? melanie : e.j . he does n't want to go through with the project and there 's nothing i can do about it . so then i told philip , and philip threw me out of his office and threatened to sue me . max : he wo n't do that , okay ? he was just trying to scare you . melanie : how do you know ? max : because you do n't have a dime . and philip 's not gon na waste any money on lawyers for nothing . melanie : oh , my gosh . i 'm not even worth suing . max : okay , so it was a bad day , very bad day . maybe a wake - up call ? melanie : max , i 've had e.j . and philip telling me off and telling me how stupid i am . i really -- i do n't need to hear it from you , too , okay ? max : okay . okay . stefano : so ... you 're not even curious ? e.j . : hmm ? what ? stefano : the mothers of your children , who are infamous for their hatred for each other , are having a tête - à - tête behind your back and it means nothing to you ? e.j . : father , i 'm working on a $ 17-million - deal and you want me to get agitated because samantha and nicole are having lunch ? stefano : right , mm - hmm . they 're probably just sitting there swapping recipes , you know , or comparing prenups . e.j . : i do n't know . maybe nicole is over samantha 's return . maybe they both realize that they have to find some kind of working resolution to the situation for the sake of their respective children . stefano : right . they are being mature and selfless . [ laughs ] aye - ye - ye - ye - ye . so you trust the both of them . e.j . : i do n't know . do i have a choice ? stefano : good question . but the blonde , she went to a convent on the south side . the convent of the holy cross . e.j . : father . is there something that you 're not telling me ? nicole : you really do take the cake , do n't you , sami ? is this your idea of fun ? what we have is still here ? in your dreams , bitch . sami : i do n't want e.j . i want a cease - fire . i want us to be able to work together on this , but i want you to know that i am a formidable opponent whether you like it or not . nicole : vice versa , baby cakes . vice versa . chloe : you do n't like the dress , do you ? kate : now , i did n't say that . look who 's here . daniel , come here . could you join us for a minute , please ? chloe just picked out her wedding dress , and we need your opinion . closed captioning is brought to you in part by biobest maximmunite . the only probiotic drink with the immunofit blend of 10 billion active cultures . max : i think all your problems are self - inflicted . melanie : yeah ? max : yeah . philip and e.j . were handed all this wealth and power . that did n't happen to us . melanie : really ? i had n't noticed . max : if you want that , it 's gon na be a long road to get there . and maybe what they have is n't as good as what it seems from the outside , huh ? melanie : you really kind of think things through , do n't you ? that 's why you and i do n't really have that much in common , huh ? i think , max , that i want to be alone for a while . max : mel . mel . i 'm sorry . brady : how you doing ? melanie : um , why do n't you ask philip , okay ? philip : do you really want me to apologize for trying to emulate my father ? i 'm proud of him . i 'm proud of his accomplishments . stephanie : i 'm not asking you to apologize any more than i 'm about to apologize for being how i am . i 'm just saying who we are and where we come from might make us incompatible . philip : a euphemism for you do n't like me or my family . stephanie : i think incompatible is exactly the right word . philip , i do n't judge you . i do n't dislike you . i just ca n't live the way you do . and i ca n't stand to watch you live the way you do . philip : stephanie , how about we talk about our personal relationship over dinner ? stephanie : is that code for `` we should get back to work `` all of a sudden ? philip : i did n't ask you just to come up here to -- stephanie : hit on me or something ? philip : nicely put . anyway , there 's an important file i 'm having trouble getting into and i need someone i can trust . our main tech guy is sick , so ... stephanie : you need me ? philip : yeah , you . i doubt you 'll have any luck , but it 's worth a try . here 's the information . so , dinner . how about we try someplace new , huh ? there 's an inn right up the road . stephanie : philip , i ca n't fend you off and work at the same time . huh ? philip : what ? stephanie : something 's not right . stefano : exactly what we expected . e.j . : exactly when we expected it . stefano : you reject melanie , and she trots right back to titan . e.j . : i wonder if she has any idea how utterly predictable she is . stefano : i wonder if victor and philip have any idea that they are about to be blow out of the water . nicole : well , it was lovely bumping into you like this . we should do it again sometime . how about never ? is never good for you ? sami : just think about what i said . nicole : you too , sami . kate : so , what we were thinking -- well , actually , the truth is , what i was thinking is that chloe could use a man 's opinion . nicole : wow , and i thought i was having a bad day . kate : because her family is n't in town , so i do n't know . maybe you could act as father of the bride . what do you think ? maybe a fa uvorite uncle . anyway , you could be a man that she could really trust . daniel : you know what ? it looks fine to me . yeah . so , you , uh , already set a date ? chloe : uh , no , not yet . i just bought the dress . daniel : well , i 'm sure you 'll look great in it . um , excuse me . bar 's calling my name . kate : wow . daniel is certainly a man who knows how to hide his true feelings . chloe : what ? kate : come on , chloe . do you really think i do n't know what 's going on ? chloe : what do you mean ? nothing 's going on . kate : do you really expect me to believe that ? i saw the way you were looking at him . chloe : kate , i - i do n't know what you mean . kate : come on . we both know ... that he did n't like that dress . chloe : o - oh . oh , he did n't ? kate : [ chuckles ] no . did n't you see how uncomfortable he was ? i mean , he could n't wait to get away from us . actually , i think that 's something the two of you have in common , that bedrock honesty that makes you so uncomfortable when you 're lying . well , i mean , or when you 're covering something up , i should say . chloe : yeah , i - i guess so . kate : it must have been very difficult for you , that period leading up to your breakup with lucas . chloe : i just thought that ... kate : it 's kind of uncomfortable for you to talk about ? oh , sweetie , you are going to have to be patient with me . i 'm afraid i have a tendency to cross boundaries . you can ask chelsea or philip . once you 're part of the family , i think every part of your life is going to be fair game . you 're probably going to end up hating me . chloe : no . so , uh , you did n't like the dress , either . kate : actually , i think we could find something that would be more flattering to your figure . see ? dead honesty , just like you . speaking of dead honesty , you know , daniel -- he 's always so soft - spoken , always in control . i 'll tell you , when you put him in the bedroom , he 's a wild man . chloe : [ coughs ] kate : oh , i guess you did n't need to hear that , did you ? chloe : no . no , i didn't . stefano : everything going according to plan ? e.j . : yep , looks that way . stefano : good work , elvis . good work . e.j . : somebody is about to have a very , very bad day . philip : what 's wrong ? stephanie : that 's what i 'm trying to find out . no , no , no , no . philip : stephanie . stephanie : oh , my god . philip : what did you do ? what just happened ? nicole : hi . e.j . : hey . nicole : you look serious . e.j . : yeah , i 'm just working on a deal , darling . nicole : hmm , well , that 's you -- busy , busy , busy . running your company . running sami 's life . e.j . : what are you talking about ? nicole : huh . so , tell me something . what the hell does it matter to you who sami kisses these days ? stefano : i want you to go back to that convent , but this time , i want to know why nicole went there . sami : so , grace is okay , right ? and everything is all right ? sister theresa : the only thing you have to worry about is her getting spoiled . at last count , she had seven nuns , one postulant , the maintenance man , and the guy who shovels the snow all wrapped around her little finger . sami : thank you so much for everything . i mean , i really could n't do this if i did n't know you were watching out for her . sister theresa : i am having the time of my life . you do know that . sami : so , um , the sisters and everyone , they all know to keep quiet about grace , right ? sister theresa : sami , just because they know we have a baby here does n't mean they know who the baby is . sami : i guess you 're right . i just get scared . so , everyone loves her ? sister theresa : oh , because she is the sweetest little thing . yesterday , this young woman stopped by , and grace was so calm when she picked her up . sami : what woman ? who was there ? who was she ? philip : titan 's entire database was wiped clean . stephanie : how could that happen ? philip : oh , i have a damn good idea . melanie : could we tie philip to those chairs and break those bottles over his head ?

carly : was bo talking to melanie ? daniel : no , he was making a young , scared girl relive the worst moment in her life . even though her doctor , who she does n't even know also happens to be her father , told him it would be totally devastating . but melanie , you know , she does n't matter to bo . she does n't matter to bo because he 's on a mission to get the truth . no , wait , maybe he 's on a mission to get you off the hook for shooting our daughter . carly : would it make any difference to you if i told you that i tried to talk him out of talking to her ? daniel : hmm . no . no , not really . carly : yeah , well , i figured that . daniel : yeah , well , seeing as how bo is your go - to guy since you landed back in salem , i think you were safe asking him not to . because you 've got ta know by now he 's gon na do whatever it takes , legal or not , to make things go your way . carly : actually , he would n't let me do the one thing i wanted to do . daniel : yeah ? what would that be ? carly : plead guilty . daniel : to what , love in the first degree ? carly : to shooting melanie ! all right ? vivian would get her revenge and leave her alone . daniel : i can see why bo turned you down . i understand those conjugal trailers in the prison yard really are n't that nice . carly : oh , stop it ! just stop it ! i get it , you hate me . all right ? i 'm a horrible mother . i 'm the worst thing that 's ever happened to you , to chloe , and especially melanie . i ca n't stop bo , i ca n't stop vivian . i ca n't do anything to help our daughter . okay , i get it ! i get it .

[ scene_break ] bo : you know , i 've always had respect for your survival instincts . and you 're gon na need 'em .

[ scene_break ] nick : i know i 've been on edge recently . i just ... i was really scared that we were gon na lose our baby . gabi : okay , well , everything 's fine now . the baby 's fine . i 'm fine . nick : still ... it got me really freaked out , and ... it 's just hard to come back from . gabi : nick ... hope asked you if you told your parole officer that we were planning on getting married tomorrow . and , look , i know that makes you mad -- i know it . but i need to know . have you told him ? nick : no . gabi : nick , that 's -- nick : i do n't like the guy , okay ? i do n't -- i do n't like talking to him . it just -- it brings me down . gabi : why ? nick : because ... it just -- it reminds me of the way it was like in prison ... okay ? they issue you all your clothes . you have to stand in line to eat . you ca n't breathe without asking for permission . i felt like i could n't breathe , period . and they watch you -- every move you make . they tell you what to do , what you ca n't do , and ... i just -- you feel like you ca n't even get any privacy . gabi : i 'm sorry . nick : [ sighs ] i just -- i do n't like thinking about it . there 's just some real lowlifes in there . gabi : okay , nick , come on , what 's wrong ? do n't shut down on me , please . [ scene_break ] kristen : if getting what you want upsets you so much , maybe it 's time for you to rethink what it is you want . ej : it 's not a laughing matter . kristen : sorry . so is this between sami and you ? ej : no . somebody else is doing their level best to upset her . kristen : okay ... rafe ? ej : no , not on this occasion . no , this is a complete nobody . kristen : who does n't know his place . ej : and yet is making her life a living hell . kristen : hmm . well , there 's always the dimera solution for dealing with little nobodies . [ scene_break ] sami : of course . of course you would throw rafe in my face . eric : no , i was just saying the truth . sami : well , the truth is rafe turned his back on me the split second he found out that will was the father of gabi 's baby . eric : that must have hurt . and when you 're hurting like that , the last thing you need to think about doing is hooking up with another guy , especially ej . sami : ej is good to me . and he has been there for me . and he is on my side . eric : whoa , whoa , wait . are you two ... getting close ? sami : if you 're asking , `` are we sleeping together ? `` the answer is , `` yes , father . `` eric : i 'm -- shh . i 'm not lecturing you here , 'cause i know that it must be very tough for both you and rafe right now . sami : it is tough for me to have a son who is n't even 21 years old about to have a child of his own . and i have been there myself . and all i am trying to do is back him up and help will any way i can , and all rafe is trying to do is act like a jerk any chance he gets ! eric : how ? sami : well ... nick blames me for the fact that gabi went into early contractions . eric : how could that be ? sami : because the doctor said part of the problem was stress . and i was arguing with her . eric : [ sighs ] sami : because i want her to have a paternity test because i want to protect will 's rights as a father . eric : okay . sami : and that 's it . i - i ca n't tell you the rest of the story . the point is that i feel they 're all ganging up against will and me , and rafe is on their side . and it 's just a train wreck . eric : i do n't know rafe very well yet . but i can see that he 's a very passionate guy who ... who cares a lot about his family , and maybe in the heat of anger , he says things that he regrets later . i think you can relate to that . sami : all right , i get your point . eric : maybe you can just give him at least one more try ... to talk , you know ? give him a chance not to be a jerk before moving on with a guy like ej . sami : it 's too late for that . i am committed to moving on with ej . and , eric ... i 'm really happy about it . i love you , and i hope you can be happy for me . [ scene_break ] kristen : oh , ej . what 's stopping you ? get the ball rolling . ej : you know , i do n't think it 's a particularly good idea to be going quite as far as you 're suggesting . kristen : i was n't suggesting you do anything that extreme -- just reminding you that the dimeras have options that other people , especially little nobody people , do n't have . ej : look , if i said those options had n't crossed my mind , i 'd be lying . it 'd give me a wonderful , warm sense of satisfaction to eliminate the little bastard . [ scene_break ] nick : i told you , i just -- i do n't -- i do n't like to relive those days ... not with my parole officer and -- and not with you . gabi : oh , nick , i 'm ... i 'm gon na be your wife , okay ? if you have memories that make you feel this bad , i think i should know about them . nick : well , i just -- i feel ... i feel bad sometimes because i see the way people look at me , you know ? i know what they 're thinking . they 're thinking that i 'm not good enough for you . gabi : no . look , i 'm not perfect either , okay ? and i mean , you know what i 've done ... right ? but i learned from it , just like you did . we both want to live a different kind of life . nick : it 's just hard to be hopeful when you 're in prison . you know , i saw guys ... who were in there so long , you know ... they did n't know anything but prison . and then there were guys who ... would get out . and then a year later , they 're either back or ... gabi : or what ? nick . nick : or dead . gabi : you 're not one of those guys . nick : right . but maybe now ... you understand why i do n't like to talk about that time . [ sighs ] um , i 'm gon na go check the nurses ' station and see if your release forms are ready . [ scene_break ] rafe : well , i do n't know why it happened , but ... i 'm glad it did . kate : i think i know why it happened -- i mean , for me . rafe : why ? kate : well , it had been quite a long time since a man had told me i was beautiful . rafe : you must be hanging out with some blind men . [ both chuckle ] [ cell phone ringing ] rafe : hmm . popular guy . kate : [ chuckles ] rafe : ah , it 's my sister . says she needs me . kate : well , you should go . you should go -- she 's having to deal with sami , and that 's a situation that needs a lot of support . rafe : yeah . okay . [ scene_break ] will : sonny , if i try to do anything about this , nick will send me to prison . and it wo n't just be me . it 'll be my dad . it 'll be my grandfather . it 'll be aunt hope . sonny : well , he 's not just a homophobe . he 's a jackass . will : well , he 's got all the cards . sonny : why wo n't you just ask someone for help ? will : ej was there , and he is a lawyer . sonny : my dad said ej is a lawyer the same way that snooki 's an actress . come on . will : well , he 's not an idiot . if there 's something that could have been done , do n't you think he would have done it ? sonny : i do n't know . i guess i should have just kept my mouth shut . you know , i could be wrong about nick . maybe he and gabi will step up once the baby 's born , and you can have visiting rights . will : right now that is the best i can hope for . [ scene_break ] rafe : sami . hi . would you wait ? sami : what do you want ? rafe : i just thought you 'd like to hear the good news -- that gabi 's out of the hospital and she 's going home today . sami : that is good news . and i am very glad that gabi and the baby are okay . rafe : can we just -- can we clear the air here ? sami : okay . rafe : i know how much you love this baby . i know that 's why you were putting so much pressure on gabi . sami : well , i wo n't be doing that anymore . rafe : okay , but now that gabi is okay and the baby 's okay and she 's going home , i just want to put this all behind us ... no hard feelings . sami : oh , yeah ? rafe : yeah . i want this to work out for gabi and for will ... for everyone involved . [ scene_break ] ej : my impulse to deal with this directly was one that i quickly had to rule out . kristen : aw , what happened to my ruthless ej dimera ? i miss him so . ej : oh , i 'm still ruthless when it comes to business , but if i employ father 's tactics with samantha , i lose her . kristen : so interesting . sami , i know -- i mean , she was just never a saint . ej : [ laughs ] no , she 's not . it 's one of the things that i love most about her . but she tries to do the right thing . kristen : and , see , that 's interesting too , because sami 's definition of the right thing is far different than anybody else 's i 've ever known . ej : i lost samantha once because rafe managed to convince her that he was the better man . now i have another chance with her . i 'm not going to give him another opportunity . so i need to prove to her that i 'm a good father and that i 'm a good man . that i 'm a better man . okay ? kristen : [ laughing ] ah ... you 'll do okay . i think you make good choices . ej : you do ? kristen : mm - hmm . ej : really ? why is that ? kristen : obviously because you chose to accept me . ej : of course . kristen : remember one thing -- the dimeras are born struggling with the concept of goodness . personally , i think that 's what makes us interesting . okay ? i got to run . i got a busy , busy day . please do n't be a stranger . now that father 's back , i hope i 'm gon na be seeing more of you . i better . mwah . see ya .

[ tender music ] ciara : bye . hope : bye . rex : when sarah and i met for the first time , it was in chicago , and it was in the dead of winter , and one day , there was a blizzard outside , and sarah was a brand - new resident . she was starting her rotation , and this old homeless woman walks into the hospital , and she 's not wearing any shoes , and she 's got frostbite all over her toes and her feet , and the hospital administrator at the time -- he was a ... he was an old crank , and the man made seth burns look like oprah . [ both laugh ] so he denies this woman treatment , says she 's got to go to county hospital , which is , like , two miles away . eric : that 's awful . rex : so an hour or so goes by . this woman comes back to the hospital , except this time , sarah is with her . somehow , sarah left the hospital , tracked this woman down in the middle of a snowstorm , and not only brings her back to the hospital , but proceeds to give her treatment , and the hospital administrator 's like , flipping out about this . he calls security , tries to get the woman and sarah thrown out , so a huge fight breaks out , but sarah 's not backing down , and i 'm thinking , `` who is this insane woman ? `` and just as security is about ready to haul sarah out , i look down , and she 's not wearing any shoes . sarah had given her own shoes to this old homeless woman . [ warm music ] eric : sounds like sarah . rex : that 's when i knew i was -- i was falling in love with her . so you asked me , eric , if i 'm worried that i 'm not good enough for sarah . the truth is , i 've never met a man who is .

[ scene_break ] will : okay , you let me think that we all wanted the same thing , and that we were all gon na raise this baby together , and now you 're telling me that you wanted me out of the way from the beginning . nick : will , i 've always wanted what was best for gabi 's baby . will : how is what 's best for her never seeing her father ? why -- what -- how is what 's best for her keeping me away from her all the time ? nick : you know what , will , your mother made it impossible for me to even consider having you be a part of this child 's life . with her threats and her accusations , she was terrorizing gabi . she left us no choice . will : who is us ? who 's us ? gabi ? does gabi know about this ? nick : no , okay , it was my choice , all right ? not gabi 's . and i did it to protect the baby . will : from me . you really hate me that much because i 'm gay ? [ scene_break ] sami : nick fallon is claiming that he 's doing what he has to do to protect this child . so it justifies his behavior . he is hurting my son . he is going to keep my son from his own child , and i can not allow that . nick does not know who he is messing with , and i will do anything to protect my son . ej : let me just get this straight . when you say you want nick gone , you mean that you want him dead , yes ? [ scene_break ] nicole : [ sighs ] the thing is , uh -- well , i 've been a little tormented lately about various things . conflicted . [ chuckles ] what else is new ? [ phone rings ] chloe : hmm . oh , sorry . oh , it 's my mom . i just have to text her back . she 's actually coming to stay here for a while , to help me with parker . nicole : really ? your mom ? i 'm surprised victor agreed to that . chloe : uh -- oh ! i did n't tell you . i moved out of that kiriakis dungeon . i 'm staying at daniel 's place now . nicole : you 're what ? chloe : well do n't get too excited . daniel 's staying at a hotel . nicole : okay , let me get this straight . so you and parker moved in , and daniel moved out . chloe : for now . nicole : i told you it was gon na be hard to pry daniel away from jennifer . chloe : i know . i should have listened to you . nicole : mm . chloe : you have some experience dealing with daniel 's obsession with jen - jen . nicole : i do indeed . chloe : and since you recently went to battle with her , i was hoping maybe you 'd share a few cautionary tales with me . what do you say ? [ scene_break ] rafe : i already know that nick was stabbed when he was in prison . gabi : how do you know that , rafe ? rafe : i read his file . gabi : oh , yeah ? rafe : yeah . gabi : [ sighs ] rafe : oh , come on . do n't give me that look . i got ta make sure that my baby sister is gon na be okay . four years of incarceration ? [ chuckles ] could do a lot of bad things to anyone , especially a guy like nick . gabi : okay , what does that mean , `` a guy like nick `` ? rafe : well , he 's not the biggest guy . and trust me , because i 've put a lot of them behind bars , i know what goes on . it 's not pretty . gabi : [ sighs ] i know that , okay ? i know . but nick is a very smart guy , okay ? he would totally use that to his advantage . rafe : well , actually , it probably made him more of a target . and what i really want to know is why he refused to give the name of the guy who stabbed him ? [ scene_break ] eric : do you mind if i call you by your first name ? vargas : thing is , i 've been vargas for as long as i can remember . so if it 's all right with you , father , i 'd rather keep it that way . eric : that 's fair enough . so you said your original sentence was seven years . vargas : yes , it was . i 'm not gon na make any excuses . i accept responsibility for what i did outside those walls as well as in here . [ door opens ] hope : sorry . well , thank you , gentlemen . that call took longer than expected . eric : no , it 's okay . vargas , this is detective brady . she is the lead liaison for our program . vargas : ah , ma'am . hope : i did n't mean to interrupt . please , sit down . [ both clearing throat ] finish what you were saying . vargas : uh , if it 's all the same to you , i -- i think i 've talked enough here . i think i should listen to what you have to say and father eric here . [ scene_break ] sonny : yeah , will 's just , you know , going through a lot right now . kate : okay , well i know that sami rocked the boat in her usual self - serving way , but it seems to me that things have calmed down . i mean , gabi and will and nick seem to have really ... worked things out . sonny : yeah , i mean they , uh , they have . they 've worked things out . kate : okay , now , wait . you positively flinched when i mentioned nick 's name . now , is nick causing problems for will ? [ scene_break ] nick : i do n't hate you , will . will : why did you just make me give up any claim i had to my own daughter ? nick : it 's not personal . it never has been . i 'm just protecting gabi 's baby . will : from me ? from her own father ? nick : i 'll be there for her , will . i 'll be there for her , always . why is that not good enough for you now ? why ca n't you see this the way that you did before ? will : because the way that i saw it before was wrong ! the way i rationalized it before was wrong . i was not thinking straight ! nick : well -- will : and i thought that you understood that . nick : have you considered the fact that maybe you 're not thinking straight now ? will : [ sighs ] n - no . nick : will . will . when you found out that gabi was gon na have a baby , you were perfectly content to go on with the rest of your life without her , and let gabi and me raise the baby as our own . will : i was never -- i was never perfectly content , and you know that . i was confused . nick : that 's right , you were confused , and you 're still confused . nothing has changed . will : everything has changed ! everything has changed ! from the moment that i saw my baby , from the moment that i felt her kick , everything changed for me . i felt such -- nick : you felt a connection ? you felt a connection ? i warned you that would happen , will . i warned you . i tried to tell you that if you spent time with this baby , even before it was born , that you would develop an emotional connection . will : i have an emotional connection ! nick : that 's because you did n't listen to me . and that 's your fault , okay ? will : okay , you are the one who is separating me from my daughter . that is on you ! you are the one who is keeping me from her . nick : how can you not see that this child will be better off with two parents ... will : she -- nick : in a loving , stable relationship ? how can you not see that you 're saving your daughter years of confusion and heartache and embarrassment ? how can it be good for her , will ? how can it be good for her to see you popping in and out of her life with whomever you happen to be sleeping with ? will : i am with sonny . nick : yeah , now . and for how long ? and when you 're done with him , how many other guys will there be ? will : sonny and i are both looking forward to being a part ... nick : no , no , no , no ! will : a big part , of my daughter 's -- nick : you can just forget it ! you two want something to love , get a dog . because you and your boyfriend are not gon na screw up gabi 's baby . [ scene_break ] sami : oh , yeah , if nick was dead , it would just make -- no . no . no . ej , we ca n't do that , okay ? i 'm serious , we -- we have to find another way to get nick out of the way without actually killing him . i mean , he makes me sick , the way that he thinks he 's so justified in judging all of us just because he 's marrying a girl who 's pregnant with someone else 's baby . ej : it should . sami : there 's got ta be another way , right ? another way we can take care of him without actually , you know , killing him ? ej : but what if there 's not another way ? what if nick has to die to make sure he can never hurt your son again ? can you live with that ? [ scene_break ] chloe : maybe if you told me what happened with you and daniel -- nicole : okay . [ sighs ] here you go , on the house . chloe : what am i gon na do with this ? nicole : well , first you can get down on your knees -- pretty sure you know how to do that -- and you can strike up a conversation with the big guy above because i am out of answers , sweetheart . chloe : nicole , i just thought that -- nicole : yeah , i know what you thought . you 're more transparent than your wardrobe . you did n't come here because you missed me or our friendship . chloe : yes , i did . nicole : no , you came here because you wanted information about daniel so you can get him back in your bed . that 's the only reason you came back here . just a - a little tidbit so you can blow daniel and jennifer out of the water and get your greedy hands back on him . well , you 're out of luck . chloe : wow . i knew it . you 're still in love with him . nicole : [ sighs ] i am not in love with anyone . chloe : liar . [ scene_break ] vargas : i know a lot has changed since i walked through those prison gates , but so have i. i 'm not the same man that i was , made all those mistakes that landed me in here . eric : you know , if you 're committed to keeping your life on the straight and narrow , detective brady and i , we both know some people who are willing to offer you some help in salem . vargas : [ whispering ] salem ? eric : yeah , that 's where we 're from . that 's where our prison outreach program will be based , in st. luke 's . vargas : that 's your church ? eric : yes . vargas : i 'm sure you 're talking to a lot of other inmates here . i just feel blessed to have this opportunity , and i 'm most definitely interested . [ scene_break ] gabi : rafe , look . nick does n't know who stabbed him . okay , that 's why he ca n't i.d . anyone . rafe : well , well , from what i 've read it seems like nick is hiding something . gabi : stop . okay , that 's it . i do n't want to talk about this any more than nick does , all right ? that 's in the past , and we 're trying to move on . that 's why we 're getting married tomorrow . rafe : yeah . [ scene_break ] sami : ej , there 's got to be another way . another way to deal with nick . i should n't even have asked you for this . i know you are trying to be a better man for me . we 're both trying to be better people , and i do n't want you to ever stop listening to your better angels just for me . ej : but what if there is n't another way ? ca n't you understand , samantha ? nick 's not just hurting william . he 's also hurting this innocent girl by depriving her of her father , and i know exactly how terrifying and heartbreaking that is . now , you 're asking me to do what is right by that little girl , and that is exactly what i 'm going to do . [ scene_break ] will : you 're sick . nick : i 'm sick ? you want this baby to have three fathers . no . no . she will be normal . you and sonny , that 's what 's sick . [ sighs ] look ... this is n't getting us anywhere , will . you signed away your parental rights , and you 're not getting them back . but look at what you got in return , right ? you saved your own ass , and you kept your grandfather and your father and uncle bo and aunt hope from paying the price for this miscarriage of justice . it 's a win - win for all the hortons . you should be thanking me , will . stepping up . providing your child with the type of home every kid deserves . your daughter will have a wonderful life . i promise you that . i 'm sorry that -- that you wo n't be able to be a part of it . but you 're just gon na have to learn to live with that . [ scene_break ] chloe : do n't try to deny it , nicole . i know you . and i know how hard it is to want someone that everyone is telling you you ca n't have . nicole : oh , my god ! chloe : because i love daniel too . but he and i belong together . we share a son , and that means something . nicole : okay , all right . let 's just say that you do the impossible and get back together with daniel . he 's not gon na be happy with you . chloe : and what , he 's gon na be happy with jennifer ? how can you not hate her ? nicole : because , i 've been there , i 've done that , and it was n't that great a trip . chloe : you know , living in the convent has totally ruined you . since when do you care about doing the right thing ? nicole : i care about you using me to get to daniel . chloe : oh , yeah , and using someone is so beneath you . nicole , you are just as bad as i am , if not worse . you are scarred and damaged and twisted , and it does n't matter how many days you live under this roof , you are never gon na be one of the good girls . sorry to tell you . both : oh ! eric : i 'm so sorry , excuse me . chloe : sorry . eric : chloe ? chloe : eric . oh , wow , i - i barely recognized you . eric : yeah , new collar . chloe : it 's very becoming . nicole : okay , she was just leaving . chloe : no , actually , i was not . i 'm here because i needed to see you ... nicole : mm . chloe : father eric . [ scene_break ] sonny : no , there 's no problem . like you said , nick and gabi and will are -- they 're cool . just been a rough couple months for will . and like i said , i 'm just glad to be in his corner . kate : well , i 'm glad too . sonny : but if you 'll excuse me , i 'm gon na take care of some stuff behind the bar . kate : okay . sonny : good talk . will : hey , grandma . kate : i want to speak to you . will : oh , you know what ? now is not a - a great time . kate : yeah , yeah , i 'm sure it 's not . you know , i had to just about beat it out of sonny , but i know all about your problem , and i want to help you .

[ door closes ] nick : i 'm better than okay . better than okay . oh , tomorrow i am marrying the girl of my dreams ... gabi : mm . nick : and there is n't anything or anyone who can get in the way of our happily ever after . [ scene_break ] ej : if it were made to appear that nick had broken the conditions of his parole , then he 'd have to go back to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence . right ? sami : sounds good to me . you know , i can handle that . ej : i know a guy who could -- sami : well , i mean i -- ej : but i mean , if you want -- it -- i mean , it 's -- sami : no , i think your people are probably better at that than -- and if you did , i would -- i would be ever so grateful . ej : really ? just , um , exactly how grateful would ... you ... be ? sami : i think it 'd be easier if i showed you . [ scene_break ] chloe : thank you . daniel and i had parker christened here at st. luke 's . eric : you did ? chloe : mm - hmm . i was always hoping that we 'd attend services here as a family . [ drawer slams ] chloe : but things fell apart for us pretty quickly . eric : yeah , i heard . i 'm really sorry about that . chloe : thank you . but i did get the miracle that i was praying for . it turned out that daniel really was parker 's father , so ... we 're back . [ papers pounding ] chloe : that made me want to return to the fold . and i 'm hoping that i can get daniel to come with us . [ papers slam ] chloe : i 'm thinking it 'll be really good for parker . eric : well , i just want you to know our door is always open to you and your son . chloe : thank you . oh , also i was wondering if there was an opening on the music committee ? nicole : [ coughs ] chloe : i just want to volunteer my time and show my gratitude for all that god has given me . eric : well , let me talk to somebody from the committee and i 'll get back to you . but i really need to get going . chloe : uh , great , you know what , can i walk you out ? eric : sure . after you . nicole : such a bitch ! [ grunts ] [ sighs ] ugh . chloe : um , fyi . there 's a typo here . it 's supposed to say , `` returning to the fold : six ways to reunite with the church 's love . `` you put an `` e `` instead of an `` i. `` nicole : what ? where ? chloe : right there . it says `` sex , `` not `` six . `` somebody 's not gettin ' any . nicole : oh , you know what ? ju [ scene_break ] sonny : hey ! glad you got my message . i wanted to bounce some ideas off you for st. patrick 's day . will : great . that 's great . sonny : mm - hmm . will : is that okay ? kate : sure . no problem . i just want you to know that i would do anything to help you , no matter what it is . will : thank you so much . i - i have no idea what you 're talking about , but thank you . that means a lot . kate : thanks , sonny . sonny : mm - hmm . kate : i love you , sweetheart . will : oh , i love you . okay . sonny : thought you needed some rescuing . will : did you say anything to her ? sonny : no . why , did she say i said something ? will : yeah . she hinted that you did . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i should have known better , obviously . sonny : did -- did you say something ? will : no . but i ca n't -- you were right . nick is a -- is a bigot . and i just gave my daughter away to an ignorant , homophobic bigot , and there is nothing that i can do about it . [ scene_break ] sami : mm . ej : plotting to kill nick really turns you on , does n't it ? sami : [ chuckles ] no . it 's you . being with a man who 's powerful enough to get the job done . ej : thanks , now i feel all dirty and used . sami : [ laughs ] right , you should feel used . i am . i 'm totally using you for your money and your power . not because you are handsome and charming and wonderful to me and father to my kids . no . none of that matters to shallow old me . ej : yeah ? can i tell you something ? shallow old me thinks you have the most ... beautiful ... pair of ... eyes . sami : [ laughs ] that 's not shallow , at all . ej : i adore everything about you . sami : mm , that 's definitely not shallow . ej : okay . sami : what ? ej : mm - mm . sami : no , i -- ej : uh - uh . sami : what ? ej : uh - uh - uh , no . we have to get back to the matter at hand . sami : [ sighs ] right now ? ej : no , yeah -- no . yes . look , i 've been giving this a little bit of thought , and the way i see it we only have one problem . sami : okay , tell me . ej : if nick goes back to prison , how long do you think it 's gon na take him to work out who sent him there ? he 's a smart guy . sami : i do n't care if he knows , right ? so what ? ej : samantha , the first thing that he is going to do is tell the authorities everything that he knows about william 's involvement in my shooting . [ scene_break ] nick : did you have enough to eat ? gabi : plenty , thank you . nick : okay . do you want a refill ? gabi : no , what i want is for you to sit down and talk to me . nick : oh . [ chuckles ] okay . uh , about what ? gabi : well , it 's about why you got so upset when hope asked you about your parole officer earlier . nick : because that 's in the past , and it does n't matter anymore . gabi : the thing is , it 's not in the past , nick . i mean , you 're still on parole , and you still have to talk to your parole officer . nick : fine . i 'll -- i 'll call him tomorrow after our wedding , okay ? is that -- is that what you need to hear ? gabi : remember when , um -- when you told me that you do n't know who stabbed you in prison ? nick : yeah , because i do n't . why -- why are we even talking about this again ? gabi : rafe read your prison file . nick : what ? gabi : okay , look , do n't be mad at him , okay ? because he was just looking out for me . but the thing is that he read something along the lines of that the authorities thought you knew who stabbed you , but that you were trying to cover it up . [ scene_break ] nicole : you know , it is one thing to offer your services to hardened criminals , okay ? because some of them actually deserve your help . but chloe , really ? taking her up on her offer to `` give back `` ? that 's just ridiculous . open your eyes . she is just using you -- and god , by the way -- to score points with daniel . it 's just sick , and manipulative . blasphemous ! it 's just plain wrong . hello ? why are n't you saying anything ? eric : i think i finally understand the depth of what 's going on with you , nicole . and i think it 's about time we talk about it . [ scene_break ] hope : hey . rafe : well , hey there . and where have you been ? hope : well , i went from the hospital straight to the prison with eric . rafe : oh , yeah . heard about that . you working with him on this outreach program ? hope : yeah , i 'm gon na be the police liaison . rafe : huh . hope : what ? what are you thinking ? rafe : about nick . his time in prison , and how it affected him . [ scene_break ] ej : there are three things that we have to do to deal with nick . sami : okay , just three ? good . let 's hear it . ej : the first thing we need to do is find the evidence that shows that he shot me , and make that disappear . the second thing we have to do is find the confessions -- william 's taped confessions -- and destroy those . and -- sami : and the third thing would then be to set nick up so he violates his parole . ej : okay , right . and then , and only then , is he able to go to prison , right ? 'cause the authorities are not going to listen to anything he says , and he 'll be in prison for a bloody long time . mwah . [ scene_break ] will : how could i have not seen nick for who he really is ? sonny : you were just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt . will : yeah , how noble of me . sonny : will , people like nick , they learn to hide their feelings . will : mm - hmm . sonny : even from themselves . and they always have a rationale for their intolerance . they hide behind pity , or religion , or they think they 're defending what they call a family . but really all it is is hatred and fear . will : i see that now . and nick especially . i mean , the fear -- what is he so afraid of , though ? [ scene_break ] vargas : [ grunting ] i 'm gon na protect you for now , nicky , even though your big mouth is the reason i 'm still stuck in this hellhole . do n't you worry . because the day is coming when you 're gon na pay me back big time for the three years of my life you 've cost me . [ scene_break ] nick : why are you pushing me to talk about this ? gabi : because , nick , because i want to take care of you , okay ? i want to take care of you the way that you take care of me and the baby . and if something is bothering you , or hurting you , i want to know about it . [ scene_break ] eric : it really hurts me to see somebody i care about in so much pain . nicole , i know . you were starting to tell me in the confessional . nicole : oh , if you know , then why do n't you see ? eric : see what ? nicole : what 's right in front of you . eric : [ sighs ] nicole : oh , never mind . eric : okay , hey , nicole . please , help me . what am i supposed to see ? what is it ? just please tell me . [ scene_break ] nick : not so long ago , i walked through those doors , right over there , and i met the most incredible woman . she totally changed my life , and everything before , it no longer mattered , because i was truly born again that day . and god knows , i did n't deserve it . but i was lucky enough to have her fall in love with me , just as i was falling in love with her . and now the two of us are gon na raise a child . we 're gon na be a family . we 're gon na build a new life together . [ scene_break ] sami : so , you know what ? i can take care of the police evidence locker . i can get in ... ej : mm - hmm . sami : i have someone who will help me , you know , get rid of that evidence . ej : okay . sami : and it 's not rafe , of course . not like he would risk his badge for anyone but his sister . ej : okay , so that takes care of the first problem , right ? then we have to get a hold of those audio recordings . now , they 're probably on nick 's computer . that should n't be too hard to find , and then we can just erase them . sami : yeah . and we have time to get this done . i mean , gabi 's not due for another month . [ scene_break ] gabi : oh . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] sami : so we have time to get will back into his baby 's life , and nick out of everyone else 's . ej : okay . sounds like we have a plan ? sami : mm - hmm . ej : good . whoa . [ scene_break ] nick : [ chuckles ] do you like it ? i 've never picked out baby clothes before , so . gabi : are you kidding me ? i - i love it . it 's beautiful , and -- and i love you so much . nick : do you -- do you think she -- she 's gon na like it ? [ laughter ] gabi : are you kidding me ? she 's gon na love it . arianna grace is the only person in the world luckier than i am . nick : everything is gon na work out for us , gabi . from now on . [ sighs ] | rafe talked to gabi about nick 's time in prison . she let rafe know that nick does n't want to talk about it much . eric talked to vargas at the prison . sonny and kate talked about will , nick , gabi , and the baby . will wanted nick to explain why he wanted will to stay away from his baby . nick reminded will how he did n't want to be part of the baby 's life before . will told nick how he changed his mind once he saw the sonogram of the baby . nick did n't want the baby to be confused by the men coming in and out of will 's life . will assured nick that he and sonny are committed and would be in the baby 's life , but nick would n't allow it . sami wanted ej to take care of nick , but she did n't want ej to kill him . ej asked sami what would happen if he did die . she wanted to handle nick in a different way from that . chloe went to the church to see nicole . chloe and nicole ended up fighting when chloe asked her for her help to get daniel back . nicole thought chloe was using her and did n't want to help her . vargas said he wanted to be in the rehabilitation program at st. luke 's . ej told sami that he would do right by will 's daughter and would n't murder nick . nick did n't think he and will were getting anywhere with their conversation so he walked away . |

even though you told her that you were n't gon na press charges ? chad : yes , for the 12th time . abigail : oh , my god . chad : i also told her that if -- if she wanted my testimony , that she would have to call me as a hostile witness . and then in cross - examination , ben 's lawyer could let me say just about anything to the jury . abigail : what -- she what ? she -- chad : she did n't even blink . and she 's an iceberg . but i - i - i wanted to let you know that i did absolutely everything that i could . rory : dude , so what 's going on ? you did n't flunk something too , did you ? jj : rory , this -- this just is n't -- rory : bev told me that you were n't in psych class yesterday . where were you ? jj : look -- look , lately i 've -- i 've been really busy , so ... rory : [ chuckles ] yeah , i get it . i know what you 've been up to , you dirty dog . i saw you ... with her . jennifer : paige , your mother and i have talked about this , and i just want you to know that since she wo n't allow -- eve : what jennifer is trying to tell you , sweetheart , is that , well , we have come to an agreement . mm - hmm . about -- about everything . paige : sure does n't sound like it . you both look like you 're ready to explode . jennifer : paige , i do n't think that there is any point in not telling you what happened . you deserve to know the truth . all of it . jj : what -- you know who -- who i 've been -- rory : yeah , man . i told you i saw her in the student union , remember ? carter smith heard you call her something like , uh , rochelle , or i do n't know . jj : roxanne . rory : yeah , roxanne . dude , what 's she like ? she 's the reason why you dumped paige , right ? jj : i do n't want to talk about it . rory : what ? this other girl was n't worth it ? jj : so not . jennifer : i think it 's safe to say , paige , that your mother and i , we do n't agree on all the details , but she 's come to realize what 's important . what 's best for everyone involved . paige : uh , i do n't understand . jennifer : i really do n't want to speak for you , so maybe you could explain this to paige . eve : uh , sweetheart , could you just give me a moment alone with , uh ... jennifer . paige : okay . you guys are acting really weird . i have to check my messages . eve : you were gon na tell her ! jennifer : you knew the terms . and i hate lying , and frankly i wish this whole thing was just out in the open right now . eve : oh , my god , are you insane ? jennifer : no , you 're insane for making it happen . eve : oh , i did n't make it all happen by myself , honey . jennifer : whatever . letting it happen . but now we need to fix it . eve : what are you talking about ? you ca n't `` fix `` this . it 's too late , jennifer . my daughter is never gon na forgive your son for breaking her heart . jennifer : you know what ? maybe she wo n't . but i 'm gon na make sure that whatever happens between the two of them is their choice , not yours . for the first time , it will be theirs . ben : jordan , you 've spent more than half your life protecting me . okay , i 'm not ten years old anymore . there 's no way you are gon na let a chance like this get away from you . jordan : i - i 've already decided . ben : oh , it -- it 's clyde , right ? look , if you 're worried about him and me getting closer , do n't be , okay ? i know i can not trust him . i never will . jordan : it 's not just that . this trial that you 're facing -- ben : no , no , no , no , no . see , aiden jennings is very optimistic that he can get me a deal . and chad 's flat out saying he 's not gon na testify . there 's no reason for you not to take this job in new -- wait . is this about chad ? do you still have feelings for him ? [ scoffs ] chad : now look , i 'm really , really sorry . it 's -- it 's out of my hands now . abigail : you kept your word . you did everything you could for ben . chad : too bad `` trying `` does n't count much with the d.a . abigail : yeah . chad : well , look , i got ta go upstairs . abigail : wait , uh , well , thanks again . chad : you bet . the other night at the house , and when we were arguing , you said that you cared about me . abigail : uh ... chad : do n't -- i know it 's not a big deal . but it meant a lot to me . adrienne : i do n't understand . is will with you there ? now ? because if he is , i 'd like to be there , too , so we can all talk . lucas : uh , no , no . he -- he left . he had to take care of something . adrienne : well , any idea what ? lucas : no , he was vague . i 'm just sitting here watching arianna . adrienne : well , if you want to know where her favorite lovey is , i could come over . lucas : uh , no , i - i know where everything is . what i do n't know is why sonny left town the minute he got out of the hospital . paul : you got your 15 minutes of fame . and now you want me gone ? will : you know damn well why i want you out of salem . you 're still in love with my husband . you admitted it to me , to the whole world . over a million people read that article . they all know that you 're hoping you 'll get sonny back . paul : sonny 's name was n't in the article . no one knows who it is . will : i do . my grandmothers do . sonny does . paul : you told me sonny said that he moved on . will : that was before he found out that you and i had slept together . but like i 've already told you , i 'm not gon na lose sonny . not to you . not to anybody . jordan : ben , please . this is not about chad , or clyde . okay ? it 's about you . our lives are here now . ben : this is a chance of a lifetime . jordan : okay , well , it looks like that now , but ... ben : no , no , no . this is your shot , sis . okay ? and it 's huge . think of all the people you can help . hey . look at me . i know you want this . and i 'm telling you : take it . jj : roxanne and i are done , okay ? she went back to chicago . rory : really ? wow , man , that 's quick . well , so you must be ready to go back on the prowl again , right ? do you have anybody lined up ? and , more importantly , does she have a friend or a sister ? jj : rory , i 'm just -- i 'm not interested in hooking up with anybody . rory : okay . cool . i respect that . hey , so maybe now you can be my wingman , you know ? use your good looks , get 'em in the mood , and then i swoop in for the kill . what do you think ? jj : rory , ju -- will you just stop , okay ? 'cause i am not interested . rory : look , man . you have been like this total downer ever since you dumped paige , all right ? and frankly , i do n't get it . i mean , yeah , she 's kind of hot in like a super pure way , but -- jj : you know , shut the hell up about paige , man . rory : well , no , you shut up , dude . you 're the one who dropped her . and now you 're all sad ? wh -- what the hell , jj ? man up . live with it . and stop bringing everybody else down . eve : if paige and jj do start going out , i mean , how long do you think you 're gon na be able to keep that lie going , jennifer ? what ? what ? what ? hey . a year ? a lifetime ? no , i do n't think so . i give it a month until jj gets tired of paige and starts sniffing around somebody else . jennifer : do you think that i want to lie ? paige deserves to know the truth . she deserve to know right now even though it 's gon na hurt ... eve : jennifer , do n't say anything . jennifer : her more than anything in the world . eve : oh , you do n't care about hurting my daughter ? all you care about is acting holier than thou . jennifer : no . eve : [ scoffs ] jennifer : what i care about is that there is something bigger going on here . jj and paige , they love each other . they do . eve : no , jj may think that he loves paige . jennifer : and i realize that you would like it to stay just like this , where they stay split , and paige never finds out . but you do n't get to have that . so if you do n't give these kids a second chance , i 'm gon na tell them that you tried to wreck everything that they had . eve : no , no , no . jj was a willing participant in all of this . jennifer : you slept with your daughter 's boyfriend . but i really should have seen it coming considering our history . way back when . when you used to steal every boyfriend i ever had . i seriously think you thought that was a game . but this is not a game . this is serious . you are the adult here . eve : jj was old enough to know better . jennifer : if you do n't give those kids a second chance ... eve : you stop giving me ultimatums , jennifer ! jennifer : i am going to tell paige everything . so it 's your call . but there really is only one answer , right , eve ? you ca n't tell paige . because then she will know what a despicable , lying monster you really are . you are a mother who only loves herself . eve : that is not true . jennifer : then prove me wrong , and put paige first . for once . paul : wow . big change . will : what 's that supposed to mean ? paul : all the time that we were doing the interviews , you were so -- so confident . you 'd met the love of your life , you had it all , always would . now you 're totally insecure . will : everything fell apart when you seduced me , paul . paul : oh , is that what i did ? hmm . guess i remember it a little differently . will : you were flirting with me from the first day i met you . paul : and you were flirting right back . i guess being married to sonny did n't matter back then , did it ? and you were n't even wearing your wedding ring . nothing was gon na stop you from getting that article . adrienne : i guess you did n't hear . sonny went to go spend some time with his brother , alex . lucas : no , no , i know . he went to -- he went to phoenix . but , um , i just -- i got the sense that will was n't too happy about it , you know ? that something else was going on . adrienne : well , i 'm -- i 'm sure he just needed some time to recuperate . lucas : he could n't do that here ? adrienne , he did n't even say good - bye to his daughter . i mean , how weird is that ? he adores that girl . no , no , something -- something is going on here . adrienne : i do n't know what 's -- honestly , i 'm sure everything 's gon na be fine . lucas : you do n't sound too convinced of that , adrienne . will : that 's a lie , and you know it . paul : oh , i do ? you -- you never flirted ? you did wear your wedding ring ? come on , will . you knew i was gay from the first day that we spoke . you were reading all my signals , and you were all over them . will : not true . paul : oh , okay . so wh -- when did you know i was gay , will ? hmm ? when was it ? when -- when you got real close ? and you looked me deep in my eyes ? when was it , will ? when did you know ? will : i do n't remember . paul : i think you do . i think you remember every little detail . ben : of course i 'll miss you . look , i have my job here , and i just signed up for a full class load now , so ... jordan : stick with it , okay ? no matter what . college means everything . ben : i gotcha . hey , who knows ? maybe some day i 'll get a chance like you just got . jordan : you will , i promise . come here . abigail : hey , guys . ben : hey . jordan : hey . ben : abigail , tell jordan that you can find somebody to take her place on your project . abigail : what ? ben : read this . abigail : oh , my -- oh , my god , jordan . they want you -- we modeled our program on theirs . they -- you did all the back and forth with them . they must have checked you out and then -- jordan , this is fantastic . jordan : [ chuckles ] abigail : seriously . when do you start ? ben : as soon as she can get to new york . right , sis ? abigail : oh , my god . adrienne : seriously , lucas . i think sonny went through a very traumatic experience . he just ... needed some time to himself , you know , to heal . away from salem . lucas : well , i hope you 're right . adrienne : i 'm jealous , you know ? i wish i could be there with you . holding that baby . it 'd be nice to see a friendly face . lucas : adrienne , are you okay ? adrienne : absolutely . listen , i got ta go . so , i 'll see you soon hopefully . okay . okay , bye . will : you 're twisting things around . that is not what happened . paul : that is exactly what happened . we had long talks about me being true to myself . not living with lies . like the lies that you 're surrounding yourself with now . will : i 'm not telling lies . paul : will , you asked me if i was gay . i asked you if you thought i was gay . you said yes . and then i kissed you . you do remember that , right ? will : yes . paul : did you try stopping me ? will : i told you that this should not be happening . paul : that 's not the same as stopping me . and did i force you to get in that bed and have sex with me ? will : you did not force me . paul : and did i cheat on anyone when -- will : will you stop it ? i - i wish to hell that i had never met you . jennifer : hey . how you doing ? jj : pretty terrible . i know you forgive me . that helps me so much . jennifer : listen , sweetie , there 's , um ... there 's something that i have to say , and ... it may come as a surprise . jj : no , uh , i know that tone . no , okay . you do n't get to blame yourself for any of this . this is all on me . jennifer : this has nothing to do with what happened between you and eve . it has to do with something that i did , and frankly i ca n't even believe that i did it . but i did , and it 's done . and now it changes everything . paige : mom ? eve : thank you . paige : uh , look , uh ... i know that something big was going down with you and jennifer . it was actually kind of scary . eve : yeah . scary . [ exhales deeply ] paige : so ... are you going to tell me what it is ? eve : i guess i 'm gon na have to . ben : be nice not to have to see him any more , right ? jordan : um , excuse me . hey . chad : hey . jordan : i just wanted to say thank you for trying to get the charges against ben dropped . chad : ah , it 's -- it 's the least i could do . considering i am the one who started the whole thing . but i hope things work out for him . although the d.a . 's being kind of a hard ass about it . jordan : yeah , so i hear . chad : look , i just -- i just popped in to check on things with the administration . okay , i know how awkward things get for you when i 'm around . but i - i honestly -- i- i do , you know , do my best to try to ... stay out of your way . jordan : well , that 's not gon na be a problem for you anymore . i 'm leaving salem . adrienne : i think i 'll go out for a bit . justin : uh , adrienne , actually i was hoping we might talk . adrienne : do n't you have a conference call with elsa . wait , what time is it in dubai ? no , no . she probably is n't in bed yet . justin : i have told you about elsa . adrienne : you have told me nothing i can possibly believe . those text messages between you and elsa -- justin : they were business . adrienne : okay , right . justin : business . adrienne : right , right . because elsa 's important to the business deal you 're putting together . very important . which would explain why you 've been on the phone with her constantly since you 've been back . [ exhales deeply ] you know what ? sonny 's gon na be fine . you 've made your appearance , dad . what 's keeping you here ? [ cell phone ringing ] adrienne : you do n't have to answer me . but you have to answer elsa . because she 's important , right ? will : you know why sonny went to arizona ? because you 're still here . paul : that 's not what sonny said . i was there , remember ? will : what i remember was walking in on you trying to wreck my marriage . paul : will , now you 're being paranoid . i am not trying to do anything to anyone . will : then why wo n't you leave ? what is so amazing about salem that you just ca n't tear yourself away ? paul : well , not that it 's any of your business , but i still have a few therapy sessions that i need to finish up . will : you could do those anywhere . paul : it 's a process , will . why do n't you stick to the plan that was written for you ? will : okay , when exactly do these sessions end ? when can you leave ? paul : what did sonny say to you after i left ? will : what my husband and i discuss is no business of yours . paul : i think maybe it is . otherwise you would n't be here . eve : honey ... jennifer and i argued about this , and argued . and finally i just decided that ... oh , honey , i ca n't really ... i hate having to say this to you . i -- but for your own good , and mine , i just think the best thing is -- paige : mom , mom , will you just say it ? i mean , if jennifer 's part of it , she 's a really sweet person , how bad can it be ? eve : yeah , she 's sweet . um , it 's big , honey . really big . and it 's about jj . jj : oh , my god . no . you changed your mind . you told paige , did n't you ? jennifer : no , honey . i promised you that i would n't say a word , and i did n't . jj : well , what about eve ? did she tell ? jennifer : no . and she wo n't say a word . no matter what anyone says or does . and that includes you . [ knocking ] lucas : justin , hey . is she here ? is she with the baby ? lucas : who ? justin : my wife . chad : uh , wow . [ chuckles ] that is a hell of an opportunity . jordan : it is . chad : and you have -- i know -- i know you and -- you and abigail have modeled the program here after the one in manhattan . now you get to do it on the world wide scale . jordan : well , i 'll only be working on part of the program , but ... it is something that i 've dreamed about for a very long time . chad : that 's great . it 's kind of a bummer that it did n't happen sooner though , right ? i mean before i - i put you through all the craziness . jordan : there 's no point in looking back . it 's over . chad : yeah . over . jordan : so long . you know , i really did care about you , chad . chad : i cared about you , too . jordan : you know , if you had a little more respect for yourself , you probably would n't go around always hurting people . i 'm sorry . it 's not my place . chad : it 's fine . jordan : bye . abigail : yeah , but it 's kinda sad for you . ben : well , i mean , sort of , yeah . of course i 'll miss her . but what an opportunity . abigail : yeah , seriously . ben : she has been looking out for me half her life . worrying about me . it 's time she just did something for herself , you know ? plus there 's some bad memories here for her . abigail : right , of course . yeah . rafe and chad . ben : and now my dad being here now , too . does n't help . [ phone ringing ] ben : ugh . this is my lawyer . maybe i go on trial . maybe i do n't . mr. jennings , hey . did you speak with the d.a . ? what did she say ? eve : you , um , and jj broke up well , because ... paige : yeah . eve : well , just because , and , well , jennifer blames me for that , sweetheart . and she thinks it 's my fault . all my fault . paige : that does n't make much sense . why did she say that ? eve : well , she pins it on that little mini - lie that i told about grandpa shane being sick . you remember ? paige : right . i told her about that . eve : you 're the one who told her ? paige : well , i needed someone to talk to , and she 's always so nice . eve : mm . so nice . anyway , she hates me now . and she 's even angrier about who jj ended up with . paige : you mean roxanne ? eve : mm . is that her name ? paige : just ... whatever . who cares ? just ... eve : right , right , right , right , who cares ? paige : yeah . eve : yeah . you know what -- what does matter -- here , what matters right now is that i ca n't even stand to be around jennifer horton . you know what , honey , and it 's always been that way for me . always . paige : so that 's why you wanted to leave town ? eve : well , that -- that 's part of it , honey . you know what ? i 'm not going anywhere . i will always , always be there for you . and i just hope someday you will forgive me for what i did . jj : mom , does -- does that mean if no one says anything , i - i - i can maybe , like ... jennifer : jj . um , keeping secrets , it never turns out the way you think it 's gon na turn out . because then once that secret finally comes out , it just -- it 's horrible , and it hurts everyone . i remember my grandfather , he -- he kept a secret from your uncle mike about who his real dad was for years and years . but he did it because he loved him . so sometimes when you love someone , you let them try again . jj : so if -- if i went to see paige , eve would be okay with that ? jennifer : i would n't go that far . but she wo n't say anything . she ca n't . but it 's not what 's important to her , it 's what is important to you . what do you feel you need to do ? will : paul , get this into your head , will you ? you have no chance at getting sonny back . zero . i know what you 're thinking . paul : oh , you know what i 'm thinking now ? you write one stupid article about me and all of a sudden you can read my mind ? will : that stupid article made you a hero ! paul : i do n't want to be anybody 's hero . paul : why are we even arguing ? i thought that we were friends . will : we were . until i found out that sonny proposed to you . paul : that was years ago . will : and before i found out that you wanted him back . paul : look , i said that i 'm sorry . and i do n't know what you think you know . will : then say it . say that you do n't still love sonny . say that you do n't want him back . ben : [ chuckles ] thank you . thank you so much , mr. jennings . seriously , thank you . it 's over . the d.a . is dropping the charges . oh , my god . abigail : that 's fantastic , ben , oh , my . ben : i feel like i just won the lottery . abigail : it 's amazing . ben : oh , my god . abigail : [ chuckles ] will : paul . paul : you should go . i 'm meeting my mom , and i do n't want to argue anymore . will : paul , can you try to understand ? how can sonny and i work through this if you 're still here ? paul : well , maybe i 'll be gone by the time sonny gets back . will : or maybe not . paul , sonny and i are married . we have a daughter . a life . we have a future . have n't you done enough damage ? paul : you need to own what you did , will . take some responsibility . if i were married to sonny , i never would have cheated on him . never . now get out . justin : i heard adrienne talking to you earlier . she said she wanted to come over . and then she left . lucas : well , she 's not here . did you maybe think to ask where she was going ? justin : i tried talking to her . but she was n't interested in listening to me . lucas : maybe she 's tired of hearing the same old some old . justin : or maybe she has someone trying to convince her that i 'm not worth listening to . paige : uh , mom , i 've got to go study for my calculus exam . eve : okay . i just know you 're gon na ace it . paige : not if i do n't study . eve : right .

'cause i 'll go there if i have to . are you hearing me ? lee : yes , i did speak with nicole today , though very briefly . brady : did she say where she was ? did you get a sense of where she was ? lee : no , she did n't say . she was having trouble bottle - feeding holly , so i offered her my suggestions , and that 's the last i heard from her . but i swear to you , i had no idea at the time that she kidnapped the child and was a fugitive . brady : there was a nasty custody hearing over holly , and chloe got parental rights and nicole was devastated and she snapped . lee : i 'm sorry to hear about that . it 's hard to believe ; the two of them seemed like the best of friends . do you think it would help if i did go to the authorities ? brady : no . listen , i do n't want you to go to the police . i 'm trying to keep the police out of this . my hope is to find her and convince her to bring the baby back voluntarily . lee : all right , i wish you luck with that . brady : do me a favor . if she contacts you again , call me . will you do that ? lee : yeah , absolutely . and you do the same , please . brady : okay . [ phone beeps ] brady : hey . i have to see you right away . jennifer : i 'm guessing your spartan existence does n't include watching the news . eric : jennifer , what happened to nicole ? jennifer : she kidnapped her biological child , the baby that chloe gave birth to . eric : what , i do n't understand . jennifer : before daniel died , he and nicole wanted to conceive a baby through in vitro , and chloe agreed to be the surrogate , but it did n't take the first time . but the second time , and after daniel passed away , chloe realized that she was pregnant with daniel and nicole 's baby . eric : so nicole does have a child ? jennifer : yeah . she named her holly . eric : holly . that 's a beautiful name . so if chloe agreed to be a surrogate ... jennifer : it 's so complicated . yes , that was the original agreement , but then chloe decided to keep the baby because she disapproved of nicole having a relationship with deimos kiriakis . eric : as in victor . jennifer : yeah . he 's his younger brother , and he is bad news . he tried to bribe the judge that was presiding over the custody case , but then a new judge came in and sided with chloe , so that judge awarded chloe the baby , so nicole , i guess , went to the hotel and took holly and left town . eric : how could chloe do that to nicole ? all she ever wanted was a child . and now , i mean , nicole ... nicole : well , there 's -- there 's not much to tell , really . i mean , i was -- i was a fool to be with him as long as i was . tiffany : do n't beat yourself up . it 's not a crime to fall in love with someone , right ? but love , man , that is -- that is a four - letter word that can really screw with your head . nicole : yeah , that 's for sure . tiffany : truth is , i 've been in a few abusive relationships , myself . but i did n't have a kid to worry about . nicole : yeah , it makes it more complicated . tiffany : i bet . but , hey , it 's good that you got out . nicole : yeah , it was ... it was rough , but i feel like i made the right decision . i mean , my husband might be a worthless piece of scum , but my daughter is the love of my life . and i would do anything for her . anything . ciara : mom ! hope : mwah ! ciara : what are you doing here ? hope : well , i 'm on break . ciara : yay ! hope : i 'm back , yes . so i thought i would stop by and see how my very beautiful daughter is doing . wow , this is quite some place . ciara : yeah . hope : where are all your roommates ? ciara : uh , my roommates are n't here . i think -- they 're in either class or with their boyfriend or girlfriend . hope : okay , so ... honey , what 's going on ? i can tell something 's upset you . ciara : um , i 've been doing a little online dating . hope : online dating ? ciara : mm - hmm . hope : what , you think that 's safe ? i mean , you are being super careful , right ? ciara : yeah , i mean , i have n't been on it for long , but i just had this date with a guy , and it was , like , really disappointing . but , um , from what i hear , you have to be in it for a while , at least give it a chance . that 's what theo says . hope : theo . ciara : yeah . hope : you talked to him about it ? ciara : how pathetic is that ? i mean , the guy that i 'm supposed to be with is giving me dating advice ? hope : oh . ciara : and then claire wakes up from her cuddle nap and says all these gushy things about him . mom , i hate this . hope : i know , baby . i 'm sorry you 're going through a rough time . i 'm sorry . ciara : i think about him all the time . i guess that 's what you 'd call obsessing , right ? hope : no , not at all . you know what , honey ? that is called normal , completely normal . 'cause you know what , when you are crazy about someone , that 's what happens . you think about them all the time . ciara : even if it 's a lost cause ? if they love someone else ? hope : even so . yes , because it 's about our feelings , and that 's something we have very little control over , if any . ciara : do you think ... hope : do i think what ? ciara : do you think there 's any chance for theo and me ? or am i wrong to even think that ? 'cause , i mean , claire 's family . i should n't want theo to break up with her . hope : but you do . ciara : i do . hope : i know . mm , i should ... ciara : what ? mom , what are you thinking ? hope : nothing , i ca n't . ciara : what is it ? please . please . hope : i just -- i ... part of me always thought that you and theo would possibly wind up together . i mean ... okay , maybe he ca n't express himself easily all the time , but that never stopped you from understanding him , and vice versa , right ? i think . ciara : yeah . well , so much for that special connection now . because he and claire ... mom , do they even seem right together to you ? that 's what i thought . hope : what happened , anyway ? brady : hey . thanks for meeting me on short notice . paul : yeah , of course . it sounded urgent . figured it had something to do with nicole ? brady : yeah , it does . i have a job for you . paul : yeah , whatever i can do to help . brady : i spoke with a dr . lee . he was the in vitro specialist that was working with nicole and chloe . apparently nicole called him . this is his card . i need you to use all your resources , trace that call , zero in on her location . you think you can do that ? paul : you got it . brady : thanks . oh , and paul , i do n't want the police involved . no cops .

[ chuckles ] i would do it myself ; i just do n't want to risk being spotted . you know , by my husband . tiffany : we 're not gon na let that happen . okay , i 'll take care of it . nicole : thank you , tiffany . you are such a lifesaver . let me get you some money , okay ? tiffany : hi , baby . [ baby cooing ] nicole : all right . [ tense musical flourish ] nicole : and go free to get yourself something to eat too . tiffany : oh , thank you . that 's really nice . i -- okay , i 'll be back in a jiff . okay ? nicole : okay , thank you . eric : i just ca n't even imagine what nicole is going through right now . jennifer : this whole situation is such a nightmare . i mean , nicole finally gets this baby that she has always wanted and it gets taken away from her . but now she 's a fugitive , which makes the whole situation so much worse . eric : it 's so heartbreaking to happen . i just ... i just feel so sorry for nicole . that little girl . jennifer : yeah . i think nicole would be really touched to see that you care so much . eric : i doubt that . i 'm just happy to know that there 's part of daniel that 's still alive in that little girl . along with , you know , parker and melanie . i just wish i could just ... jennifer : what ? you wish you could just what ? eric : you know , it does n't even matter . nicole shut me out of her life , and who the hell could blame her ? ( vo ) if you have type 2 diabetes , ciara : i pushed theo away one too many times . i mean , i 'm not surprised he ended up with claire . she 's pretty and talented . i just -- i wish that she 's stop flaunting it in my face . like , i 'm going to steal her boyfriend or something . hope : well , um , claire may actually be struggling with some insecurities of her own . you and theo were very close for a long time , honey . ciara : julie thinks that i should tell theo the truth . hope : mm - hmm . ciara : she said that if i 'm honest with theo , it 's the only way that i 'm going to have peace of mind . hope : you know what , how about being honest and truthful with claire ? ciara : with claire ? why ? hope : because she 's your family . i think that she would understand if you told her the truth . in fact , you know what , honey ? she probably is n't even aware that she 's hurting your feelings at all . ciara : i do n't think she 'd care . hope : ciara alice . ciara : mm - hmm . hope : give her the benefit of the doubt , please . she deserves that , okay ? i really think the claire that we both know and love will -- she 'll be much more sensitive to your feelings than you think . do n't underestimate her , okay ? all right . claire : i want to thank all my peeps out there for tuning in to another episode of `` life with claire , `` because i honestly can not do it without you . so please make sure that you like and subscribe and get the word out there to your friends and tell them about it . all right , thank you . ta - ta .

[ dramatic music ] brady : how are you holding up ? chloe : how do you think i 'm holding up ? my daughter was stolen from me . what ? what is that look for ? brady : you know damn well why i 'm looking at you like that . chloe : what , you do n't think i have a right to be upset ? to be going crazy over this ? i carried that child . i gave birth to her . brady : holly -- holly is nicole 's baby , chloe . chloe : holly is my child . the court awarded her to me . brady : the court -- it does n't make it right . chloe : oh , yeah , really ? what makes it right ? if you decide it 's right ? if nicole decides it 's right ? yeah , 'cause you two have such stellar judgment and have lived such exemplary lives . brady : wow , and you have ? are you kidding me ? chloe : holly is my child , legally and in my heart . that is not up for debate . and so help me god if i find out that you helped nicole pull this off . brady : chloe , come on . you know me better than that . stop it . chloe : oh , do i ? really ? 'cause even when nicole is so obviously wrong , you always side with her . why is that , brady ? it 's because you 're in love with her -- again . jennifer : eric ... have n't you suffered enough ? i mean , are you ever going to just stop torturing yourself ? eric : it 's not about me . it 's what i did . it ruined lives . jennifer : right . so now you 're responsible for nicole 's predicament ? for chloe 's ? i mean , you could figure out a way to take the blame for everybody 's predicaments in salem , in the whole world . i mean , heck , i 'm unhappy and frustrated and you are definitely to blame for that right now . i mean , you just keep piling this guilt on yourself . are you ever going to give yourself a break ? listen , what happened that day , the accident , it 's the last thing that you wanted to happen . i know that , but that 's why they call it an accident . and yeah , you were driving drunk , and that is a -- that is a terrible thing to do . but i know you . i know that you did not mean to hurt anybody . because at your core , you are probably the kindest , most generous , loving man -- eric : stop trying to save me , jennifer ! jennifer : i 'm not gon na stop trying to save you ! i will never do that , because i believe in you . i do n't care what you say , i do n't care what you do . and you know what , your family and you friends , they believe in you too . if you could just acknowledge and accept that , it will just lift your spirits more than you know . that 's why you need to be around your family and your friends right now , eric . eric : what is the matter with you ? i ca n't be around anybody right now . especially not you . brady : could we by chance just stay on topic here ? chloe : you are so in love with her ; i can see it in your eyes . brady : chloe , come on . how i feel about nicole has nothing to do with the issue as to whether holly is nicole 's daughter or not , all right ? so stop it . chloe : yes , it has everything to do with your defense of her indefensible actions . brady : her indefensible actions , really ? chloe : yeah . brady : really ? indefensible for her . the woman that we know . the only thing she 's ever wanted in her life was to have a baby . we 've seen the grief that she 's gone through . how many babies has she lost ? is it indefensible for her to really go to extremes because she wants to lay claim to a daughter that 's biologically hers in the first place from the man that was the love of her life , daniel , who is now dead ? and holly is the last thing that she has left of him ? are you -- would you sit on your ass and let someone else take your baby away from you , your one and only baby ? chloe : it 's not her baby . she did not conceive her , carry her , give birth to her . brady : oh , god , chloe ! chloe : i did those things . and the court sided with me . brady : who cares about the court ? it does n't matter . you 're being -- being cruel . chloe : what ? brady : you 're being malicious , and it 's not like you to be like this . and you are a mom . you 're a mother . chloe : what does that have to do with anything ? brady : 'cause you 're already a mother , chloe . you do n't need this baby to make you a mother . you already had that satisfaction and that joy and that love in your life . chloe : oh , my god . brady : you already have it ! chloe : so what , your logic is if you already have a child , then you should just give up your other one to someone who does n't have one ? brady : holly is nicole 's daughter . you know it . chloe : what is this about , brady ? you 're so in love with her , you have fantasies of raising this child together ? brady : oh , for god sake . no , no . not that it 's any of your business , no , i do n't feel anything for nicole except for friendship , chloe , and i do n't know where she is . if i did know where she was , i would drag her butt back here and i would talk some sense into her . chloe : well , you 'd better get cracking , 'cause i just left the police station where i lit a bonfire under their asses to get moving on this . brady : i am going to find her first . chloe : yeah , we 'll see . but if you do , you damn well better do the right thing . claire : i 'm not -- i 'm sorry , theo . i did n't mean to say that what you 're dealing with is n't important , 'cause it is . it 's just , you know , right now , i 'm dealing with a lot too . theo : all right , what are you so stressed about ? claire : my singing career . it 's on the fast track to oblivion . you know , and my viewership is dropping , because i have to focus on these stupid pointless college classes . theo : i do n't think they 're pointless . claire : all right , fine , maybe not , but they are all stupid . theo : okay , i have to head over to the library to cram because my bio class is coming up , so i will see you later at the loft . claire : good luck . bye . ciara : hey . claire : ciara . hi , i did n't even see you come in . what 's up ?

[ tender music ] lani : did that help ? eli : well , i better say yes unless i want another beat down . lani : no , come on . i 'm serious . [ sighs ] i did n't -- i let gabi call all the shots and i did n't level with you . all i can say is that i was just really scared . eli : we 're good . i mean it . [ phone beeps ] lani : i should get that . it could be an emergency . eli : mm - hmm . lani : it 's jj . he wants me to call him back . eli : ignore it . lani : he could walk in any minute . this is his place . he could be coming home from the airport . eli : good point . you know , on second thought , i need to take a shower . that pillow fight was like a workout . lani : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] [ line trilling ] hey , jj , you on your way home ? oh , you 're kidding . well , how long are you going to stay ? oh , wow , okay . well , i 'm sure theo is gon na love having you there . i will miss you though . no , i have n't heard a word about gabi . eli and i have been preoccupied . did she get sentenced ? wait , what ? jj , please tell me you 're kidding . julie : you might think you 're going to go back to living here as though nothing had happened , but you forget everybody in this town now knows who you are -- a sociopath who would n't have batted an eye for murdering me . even rafe knows how sick you are , how dangerous you are . gabi : rafe loves me . julie : and as for that little girl that you claim to be so devoted to -- just a matter of time , gabi . just a matter of time before she grows up and realizes her mother 's a monster . gabi : you know what ? just shut up or -- julie : or what ? you ca n't zap my pacemaker anymore . we 're on a level playing field , and if you try to do harm to anybody , anybody i care about , i 'll destroy you . kate : i did n't know that you felt so strongly about stefano being in steve 's body . chad : do you believe ? [ foreboding music ] kate : i do n't know . i mean , i guess i bought into it at first . i mean , he sounded like stefano . he said things . he remembered things that only stefano would know . but then again steve was in isa . he studied stefano . so this whole essence of stefano in steve 's body -- i do n't know . call me skeptical . chad : i know it 's him . kate : yeah , okay . well , it does n't really matter . it 's all going to be over soon anyway . chad : what does that mean ? kate : what that means is that the feds and the police are closing in on him . and when they find him , they 're going to turn him back into steve . steve as stefano : that 's never going to happen . tell her . chad : that 's never going to happen . [ both grunting ] kayla : justin , be careful . justin ! justin , are you all right ? justin -- oh , my god . steve as stefano : ah , ah , ah . it 's time for us to go . kayla : you do n't need to do this ! steve as stefano : move ! kayla : justin . justin . justin , are you okay ? marlena : john ! what have you done to him ? rolf : he 's still breathing . that 's all i can tell you . steve as stefano : perhaps we should rectify that . finish the pawn off once and for all . [ soft dramatic music ] eli : how 's jj ? lani : he 's not coming home anytime soon . he 's going to stay in south africa with theo . eli : probably be good for him . get out of salem for a while . lani : yeah . eli : [ clears throat ] is that why you look so sad ? lani : no . he also has some news about gabi . we missed it while we were ignoring the outside world . eli : what kind of news ? lani : brace yourself . gabi : i am not afraid of you . julie : you should be . you stay away from me . you stay away from my entire family . especially eli . you 've hurt him enough for one lifetime . gabi : that was never my intention . julie : you forced lani to dump him at the altar . how is that not intentional ? gabi : it 's about lani , okay ? i was trying to get back at her for taking stefan from me . julie : and what about eli ? collateral damage ? gabi : i felt very bad about that . julie : oh , shucks . gabi : no , i know that eli 's a good man . i knew that from the minute that i met him . julie : well , at least we agree on one thing . gabi : i know that you 're not going to believe me when i say this , but i really did love him and if you think that i 'm getting out of this without a scratch on me , you 're wrong . eli hates me and it is killing me . kate : okay , i 'm getting the slightly uneasy feeling here that you 're perfectly fine with steve believing he 's stefano . chad : i told you . he is stefano . kate : okay , even if that were true , you have always been stefano 's most severe critic . chad : he 's my father and i love him . i did n't know what a father 's love was until i found out he was mine . kate : i understand that you miss him . i 've missed him too . but what about steve ? what about his family ? what about his kids , you know ? what about abigail ? steve is her uncle . you do n't think she 's going to be upset about all of this ? chad : all i know is i need my father right now . he 's going to help me regain control of dimera . maybe you have n't heard gabi 's out of prison again . kate : [ scoffs ] wow , she is nothing if not persistent . chad : she can still convince the board to reinstate her as ceo . stefano will make sure that does n't happen . kate : okay , and how is abigail going to feel about that ? the fact that you 're working with your father again ? chad : i 'll make her understand . kate : how ? chad : a dimera must always remain in control at dimera . she 'll see that i 'm doing this for our children and for their children . kate : that 's uncanny . chad : what is ? kate : the way you sounded just like your father right now . kayla : justin . justin , do you hear me ? justin , please , wake up . wake up . oh , thank god . you all right ? justin : [ groaning ] kayla : you okay ? justin : yeah , yeah , yeah , i 'm fine . yeah , well , i have to say steve may think he 's stefano . oh , god . he still fights like steve . kayla : yeah , i 'm sorry . justin : where the hell is he ? kayla : he took off with marlena . easy , easy . justin : we need to call the police . kayla : he took my phone . justin : oh , it does n't work . it must have broken my fall . okay , let 's get out of here . kayla : easy . take it easy , okay ? take it easy . justin : whoa , whoa , whoa . kayla : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , come on , come on . you got hit in the head . you might have a concussion . let 's just take it easy for a second , all right ? let 's just stay here . justin : yeah , yeah , yeah . i think you 're right . what happened to john ? marlena : if you kill him , i will make you pay for it if it takes the rest of my life . steve as stefano : we should have gotten rid of him years ago . marlena : well then , you 'll have to shoot me first . you know , i like the idea of him having to live knowing i 've taken you away from him . i like it a lot . let 's get out of here . i 'm leah and that 's me long before julie : when you really love a man , you do n't make a fool out of him . gabi : i wanted to tell eli . julie : but somehow , you never did . gabi : i was afraid of losing him . julie : maybe . maybe you were afraid of losing him . maybe that 's why you even made nice with me -- pretended to . and i fell for it . what an idiot . i even went to abigail and said she should forgive you . how you must have laughed . laughing behind my back . gabi : well , it was n't completely an act . i mean , there were times where i forgot i hated you . yeah . i even felt guilty about you too . julie : not that guilty . you still tried to replace my pacemaker so you could zap me to death . no , you had the opportunity to make things right , and you didn't . gabi : it was the only thing that i had over lani . i was so afraid of losing eli . i was even afraid of losing you . eli : you got ta be kidding me . gabi 's gon na skate ? everyone in the square saw her try to kill my grandmother . lani : she said that she would let sarah 's baby die if she did n't get immunity . it 's disgusting . eli : she 's not getting away with it . lani : well , that 's between her and the d.a . what are you going to do ? eli : i 'll figure something out . lani : gabi 's already lived up to her end of the bargain . she donated the bone marrow . eli : good , then she 's not necessary anymore . i 'll kill her with my bare hands . lani : eli , you are not going to kill her . eli : she tried to kill my grandmother . lani : hey , hey . a , you are better than her . and b , they would send you to prison . and i 'm sorry , babe , but orange is really not your thing . eli : do n't do it , okay ? lani : do n't do what ? eli : try to make me laugh so i forget about this . lani : [ sighs ] i 'm not . but look , i just got you back and i 'm not going to let you go to prison . eli : gabi did n't go to prison . lani : i know , but you 're not her . if you kill her , you would own up to it . eli : so she just did all that to us and she just gets to go back to her old life ? i mean , after what she 's done for that baby , she might even be a hero . lani , it 's not right . lani : i know , i know . eli : wow . now i see how chad felt when abigail dropped the charges against gabi and then gabi repaid him by taking over his family 's company . chad : i do n't always agree with my father , but i agree with him on one thing . i have to be in charge at dimera . somebody needs to keep gabi on a short leash . kate : i see what you 're saying . chad : so does that mean you 're going to help me ? kate : [ chuckles ] well , i suppose i do owe you , do n't i ? chad : that does n't answer the question . you have a history of siding with gabi . are you going to knock that off ? kate : how could i not come through for you ? chad : then sign your shares of stock over to me . kate : hell no . chad : you said you 'd help . kate : no , i said i would give you emotional support , not bankrupt myself . chad : i 'll make sure you do n't spend one day in prison for helping my father . kate : [ scoffs ] i 'll think about it . chad : sure . kate : so , how is stefano going to regain his control ? i mean , he is in steve 's body , but after all , he is still also a wanted man . chad : let 's just say he has a way of getting in touch with me . he snuck in here and left this ring for me . kate : ah , the ring that i tried to give you after andre died , the ring that you did n't want because you did n't want to be anything like your father . chad : well , i have to be more like him if i do n't want an outsider to take control of dimera enterprises . it 's time for me to step up . kate : i think it 's really interesting how your priorities have changed since you 've been in contact with your father . chad : well , it 's like he 's inside my head , guiding me along the way . [ soft dramatic music ] lani : i wanted to see gabi go to prison just as much as you did . but we 're just going to have to settle for not having her in our lives . eli : i really wish we can go back in our bubble . lani : well , maybe we can go back in there at least for a little bit . eli : yeah ? lani : mm - hmm . julie : maybe i believe you were afraid of losing eli . but afraid of losing me ? how gullible do you think i am ? gabi : i know , listen . maybe it 's the drugs talking , okay ? but i need to tell you the truth . i did get to a place where i enjoyed spending time with you , with your family , okay ? i come from a big loving family and then -- and then arianna died and mommy went to mexico and papi and dario landed in prison and it was just me and rafe . and it was nice to have somebody besides him in my corner . julie : well , gabi , if all you wanted was a family to care about and to care about you , you 've really blown it , dear . cause now -- now you 're going to be alone for the rest of your life . [ door slams ] kate : well , i should probably get going . i have to find a place to live after all . chad : finally got sick of the room above the pub ? kate : uh , no , actually , roman kicked me out . he was n't exactly thrilled with everything i have involved myself with . chad : you 're welcome to stay here . kate : you 're serious ? chad : of course . i 'll have harold set you up in your old room . kate : well , are n't you a prince after all ? chad : well , you 've had my back most of the time . steve as stefano : wrap this up , boy . you have somewhere to be . chad : i 'll let harold know on my way out . kate : what , you 're leaving ? chad : i have an errand to run . kate : [ laughs ] this late ? chad : it 's my first step in getting back what 's rightfully mine . [ foreboding music ] marlena : [ shuddering ] what are we doing here ? steve as stefano : we need a place to lay low for a while . this is the perfect place to bide our time . the tunnels give us easy access to the area and i know them well . marlena : and then where are we going ? steve as stefano : to a place where john black will never find us . no one will . rolf , please go and prepare for the next step . rolf : as you wish , sir . marlena : now that he 's gone , i 'd like to help you if you 'll let me . steve as stefano : what kind of help do you plan to give me ? marlena : you 're not stefano dimera . steve as stefano : [ chuckles ] have you not been paying attention ? marlena : yeah , no , i know that you believe that you are . i think that rolf engineered something that made you believe that , but it 's not true , and if you work with me , i can help you see that . and if you want to work with me , i will -- i will bring steve back . steve as stefano : i 'll tell you what i told his ex - wife . except for his physical prisons , steven johnson is gone . now i know it may be hard for you to comprehend , but i am who i have always been : stefano dimera , the man who whisked you away to the paris underground , took you out for nightly excursions to the opera , grand ballrooms -- marlena : against my will , of course . steve as stefano : i suppose not much has changed . marlena : mm . if you really are stefano , you 'll know that i would never submit to you . i did n't then and i wo n't now . steve as stefano : that , my dear , is about to change . justin : you were here alone with the new steve for a long time . did he hurt you ? kayla : except for tying me up , he never laid a hand on me . justin : it must have been traumatic . he looks like steve and thinks he 's stefano . kayla : i know why . rolf told me that he implanted a microchip in steve 's head . but i tell you . i do n't think it 's possible , medically speaking . justin : so you think you can get through to him somehow ? kayla : i sure hope so . i mean , marlena 's life depends on it . [ door opens ] justin : john ! kayla : john ! john : where 's marlena ? kayla : stefano took her with him . justin : i tried to stop him . kayla : are you all right ? what happened ? john : i made the mistake of thinking that stefano was acting alone . one of his goons jumped me and knocked me out . kayla : well , let me take a look . john : no , no , no , we do n't have time for that . we 've got to find doc . come on , let 's go . no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no ! these are real people , not actors , [ knocking on door ] julie : eli ! it 's your grandmother . i know you 're in there . open up . eli : did you just hear the sound of our bubble bursting ? lani : i did . [ banging on door ] julie : okay , i 'm sorry to -- uh , to intrude , but this will not wait . you wo n't believe what 's happening with gabi . eli : we already heard . lani : jj called and told us . julie : well , you must be so terribly upset . eli : upset ? `` upset `` does n't quite cut it . i was ready to kill her . lani : and i talked him down . julie : well , believe me . i felt the same way , and i 'm going to have to go to confession about it pretty soon . but i do n't care . i 'm going to say it right now . if somebody , anybody would just throttle that gabi hernandez and put us all out of our misery , i 'd jumped for joy . [ unhinged music ] steve as stefano : now is your chance . eliminate gabi hernandez and you eliminate the competition . dimera will be yours for the taking . kate : and be careful with that last bag , harold . it costs more than these tightwads pay you for a year 's salary . i do n't want to see it scratched . it 's true , you know it . i always told you you were too cheap with the help . [ sighs ] so now chad is hearing your voice in his head . what have you done to him ? marlena : kayla said that you planned on having rolf put a microchip in my brain . i guess that 's supposed to make me more susceptible to you . steve as stefano : you leave me no other choice , beloved . i have held out hope for so many years that you would someday submit to me willingly . but you 've made it abundantly clear that that will never happen . and i 've run out of patience . so if the only way for us to be together -- marlena : is to what ? to make me a zombie ? does that turn you on ? steve as stefano : no , my love . it 's just a gentle push in my direction . marlena : stefano , do n't do this . steve as stefano : i 'm sorry , marlena . but as soon as we 're settled , dr . rolf will perform the procedure . and you will be mine . john : [ grunts ] it 's locked from the outside . justin : do you have a phone ? john : yeah . that goon must have taken it when he knocked me out . kayla : how are we going to get out of here ? justin : roman knows where we are . when we do n't come back , he 'll come looking for us . john : hell , stefano and marlena could be anywhere by that time . justin : john , we 'll find them .

[ sniffles ] even when i w -- got into trouble ... you were there for me . you never bailed me out , but ... you showed me how to bail myself out . and now i 'm in a little trouble again . but , you know , i think you 'd be proud of how i 'm handling it . and i 'm not sorry that i 'm in trouble . because i did it for someone who i love , and , uh ... i 'd do anything for her .

'cause it 's worth it . you ... are worth it . kristen : i think you 're worth it too . chloe : i got ta hand it to you , mom . letting daniel think that you 're on his side , it 's inspired . genius , actually . nancy : well , hopefully , it will buy you some time . [ sighs ] maybe daniel will come to trust my opinions ... and , uh , put his family first , instead of snarky old jennifer . chloe : well , so far , so good on that front , because it seems like snarky old jennifer is avoiding daniel like the plague . kayla : daniel ! daniel : ah ! kayla : i 'm so glad you 're here , thank you . daniel : yeah , well , the guest of honor kinda gave me an ultimatum . kayla : well , you know , whatever it takes . daniel : yeah . anne : jennifer ? i - i did n't know you were coming . jennifer : oh , sorry to disappoint you , anne , but i 'm here . maxine : there she is ! jennifer : oh , hey ! look at you ! wow ! you look gorgeous . maxine : thank you . as do you , darling . i knew you 'd be here with me . jennifer : of course . maxine : come on , let 's party ! jennifer : great idea ! let 's go , maxine .

[ chess pieces clatter ] kristen : that 's what you 're thinking ? brady : we should probably start here . kristen : oh , okay . chloe : so what is he saying to her ? anne : how should i know ? he took her outside . chloe : well , can you see them ? anne : yes , but i do n't have bionic ears , chloe . chloe : well , get close enough to them so you can hear them . anne : you know , i played annie sullivan in the miracle worker in high school , and i am pretty good at lip - reading . daniel : i know i put you through a lot , jenn . jennifer : no , it 's not about that . daniel : can you just let me finish , please ? jennifer : okay . daniel : all right , thank you . the whole -- the whole thing with chloe and parker , i know it 's been difficult for you . i do , i know that . but ... just in the last hour or so , something happened that might help us both . jennifer : you sound hopeful . daniel : jenn ... there 's something you need to know . anne : okay , okay . so maybe i 'm not such a good lip - reader . chloe : anne ! anne : but i sure as hell can read body language . chloe : and ? anne : it does n't look good for you , chloe . i 'm sorry . i 've discovered gold . eric : you know , i 'm sorry , nicole ... that i have n't been able to understand what you 've been going through . nicole : and i 'm sorry my reaction was to lash out at you .

[ laughs ] stefan : why go through all that trouble when i have this fascinating , beautiful woman right in front of me underneath my own roof ? chloe : so you 're saying you kissed me because you 're too lazy to look elsewhere ? stefan : no . i 'm saying i kissed you because i feel an attraction between us . was it all in my head ? -guys , i want you to meet someone . tripp : why would i know where haley is ? claire : it 's not so crazy , is it ? she is your friend , so it would make a lot of sense if she turned to you for help . tripp , if she did , i hope you know that you can trust me . i do n't want there to be any secrets between us . tripp : i do n't either . i just hope you 'll hear me out before you make any snap judgments . claire : yes , of course . tripp : haley , you can come out now . claire , meet my friend haley . and if it 's okay with you , she 's going to be staying with us for a little while . eli : i have no idea what ice will do if haley 's found . but if you 've got any information . jj : i don't . eli : when was the last time you saw haley chen ? have you spoken to her recently ? come on , jj . be honest with me . jj : okay . i spoke to haley on the phone . just briefly . she did n't tell me where she was . all she said is that she was safe . she did n't trust me to say anything more , and i really do n't blame her . it 's my fault she 's in this whole mess . if i had n't said anything to my dad , then -- i just never thought he 'd use it against her . now , haley 's life could be ruined and it 's because of him . lani : well , if the rumors are true , your dad might be in a position to ruin even more lives . jj : what do you mean ? lani : i was just speaking with rivers at the front desk , and apparently your dad met with some influential people today with the intention of running for mayor . sheila : jack deveraux , who -- who 's that ? abe : he 's the man who exposed melinda trask 's secret at the debate . sheila : damn . oh , he 's the reason she dropped out . that man seemed real shady , if you ask me . jennifer : he 's also my ex - husband . sheila : oh , i 'm sorry . did n't somebody say he had amnesia ? i mean , i forget who -- jennifer : no , it 's true . he does . sheila : then that 's great . i mean , not for you . that has to be really weird . but there 's no way you 'll lose to a guy who does n't even remember who he is , let alone what the issues are . you got this in the bag . abe : well , i would n't be so sure about that . jack had a thriving political career many years ago . and even without a memory , i 'm pretty sure that he still has a killer instinct when it comes to winning a campaign . eve : it 's a great occasion to crack open the minibar . to salem 's next mayor . [ glasses clink ] jack : i like the sound of that . eve : yes . so how quickly can we make the official announcement of your candidacy ? jack : right away . now that trask is out , party wants to make sure that everyone knows they are still in . eve : great . jack : so how about we -- we give jennifer a call and we 'll give her -- eve : no , no , no , no , no , no . do not . she will rain on the parade , and we need to make a big splash . we got ta capitalize on your momentum . jack : right , right . so -- hey , wait a minute . wait a minute . eve : wait a minute . i love it when those wheels are turning . what 's going on ? jack : i was just reading something where abe carver is heading up a fund- raiser today . eve : well , we 're not too late for it , are we ? jack : no , here it is , right here . it 's -- it 's running on even as we speak in the square . and it looks like there 's gon na be a ton of press . eve : i think there 's a party that we need to crash , jack . [ glasses clink ] mm - hmm . claire : wow . haley , oh , my gosh . it 's so nice to finally meet you . especially after everything that i 've heard about you . not that that stuff is bad , you know . haley : it 's nice to meet you , too . claire : [ laughs nervously ] so ... wow , so haley 's gon na be staying with us for a little while ? tripp : yeah , the -- the police are looking for her , and if they catch her , she 'll probably get deported . so i offered to let her hide out here just until we can find out something more , you know , permanent . if that 's cool with you . claire : yes , of course . of course . what 's happening to haley right now is completely unfair . and i would love to help , really . see , the only problem with this is , is that i 'm not sure that ciara would feel the same way . you know how moody she can get and her -- her mother is the police commissioner . tripp : actually , i 've already told ciara . and she 's fine with it . claire : oh , really ? wow , great . good . haley : i know this is asking for a lot . you guys could get in serious trouble for helping me like this . claire : yes . i mean , yes , it is a little bit dicey since , like i said , my -- my grandmother is the police commissioner . but like i also said , i - i am happy to help , really . especially since you 're such a good friend of tripp 's . haley : oh , thank you so , so much . i - i - i -- this is a huge relief . tripp : yeah , thank you so much . like , thanks a lot , claire . claire : of course . [ laughs ] eli : i need to make a call . i 'll be back . lani : how are you doing ? jj : okay , i guess . i just ca n't believe that my dad is actually following through with his plans to run for mayor . even after i blasted him for using haley to tank melinda 's campaign . if he ends up running against your dad , i do n't even want to think about how cutthroat he 'll be . lani : you do n't have to worry . my dad is a fighter , and i know he 'll -- he 'll be just fine . abe : well , no matter who my opponent is , whether it 's jack deveraux or someone else , i welcome the competition . i believe it 's healthy to have an open discourse about the issues , and then it 's up to the public to make up their minds . jennifer : that 's great . thank you so much , mr . mayor . brady : and i hope that sound means that the mayor is now allowed to accept donations , right ? jennifer : brady , hey ! abe : oh , well , no time like the present . brady : well , here you go . abe : thank you very much for that . would you give it to my assistant , sheila , please ? brady : sure . on behalf of titan . sheila : thank you . whoo ! that 's a lot of zeros . i 'll just keep this for safekeeping . abe : [ clears throat ] sheila : or i 'll keep it and put it with the other checks . thank you . brady : you 're welcome . jennifer : what are you two doing here ? eve : oh , we 're here for the same reason everyone else is . to donate to a very worthy cause and to take the opportunity to make a very special announcement . chloe : it 's just that i have n't really thought of you romantically . i mean , we -- we hardly know each other . stefan : well , i 'm gon na have to -- i 'm gon na have to disagree there . i mean , i think we 've already formed a fairly close bond , you know , after our -- our little near - death experience with the drug cartel . and you -- come on , you must feel some connection with me after moving into my home . chloe : okay , to be clear on that , i did that for my family , to protect my kids . stefan : right , no , no , no . i understand . i 'm just saying , in -- in the brief time that you 've been here , we 've -- we 've shared quite a bit . we 've opened up to each other . look , i know we have n't known each other all that long , but living under one roof tends to bring people close together rather quickly , i think . chloe : yeah , i suppose that 's true . stefan : yeah . chloe : and it 's -- this is all really flattering , but i do n't -- i do n't -- stefan : but you do n't find me attractive , right ? is that -- is that right ? look , seriously , if you do n't , i can -- i can totally handle it . chloe : no , no . no , it 's not that . no , no , you 're not unattractive . stefan : okay , good . chloe : you have nice , you know -- nice eyes and a nice smile and you look like you work out . [ laughter ] stefan : thanks . well , i think you have nice everything . okay , since we 've now established that we appreciate each other 's respective physical attributes , and since -- and since we 're both single , why do n't we -- why do n't we give it a trial run , hmm ? what do you say ? one more kiss ? really good kiss . see if there 's any chemistry , a connection , perhaps . and if there 's nothing , if you can honestly say that you feel absolutely nothing , then we 'll put this whole romance thing aside and ... continue to be friendly roommates . chloe : well , okay . i guess that 's a reasonable way to find out . gabi : [ clears throat ] stefan : oh , really ? chloe : gabi , hi . gabi : chloe , stefan . harold let me in . stefan : what do you want ? gabi : i need you to sign this . stefan : ca n't it wait ? gabi : no , it can not . stefan : oh , for god 's sakes . chloe : it 's okay . i 'm gon na go check on my kids . stefan : no , no , no , no . [ mumbles ] gabi : whoo ! here i thought you had turned a new leaf , that you had given up your wicked ways . stefan : what are you babbling about ? gabi : see , i thought you had moved chloe in here to save her from the big , bad cartel . but clearly , you just want to jump her bones . stefan : you saved chloe from the big , bad cartel . you just want to jump her bones . great , it 's signed . here you go ! bye ! gabi : is this how you get women ? is it ? you take advantage of them when they 're vulnerable . i mean , it is a step up from abigail . at least chloe 's not mentally ill . although she 's got ta be a little crazy to let you shove your tongue down her throat . poor woman . she must be pretty desperate to consider getting involved with a dirtbag like you . stefan : [ laughs ] oh , gabi . gabi , gabi , gabi , gabi . gabi : what ? what the hell is this look ? stefan : i see right through you . always have . only an idiot wouldn't . [ laughs ] you -- you hide your feelings so badly . and you 're such an amateur at lying . it amazes me that anyone believes anything that you say . that must be because everyone is an idiot . gabi : okay , well , believe these words , dimera . you are the most despicable person that i have ever met in my entire life . you are the most disgusting human being that i have had the miserable luck to know . stefan : [ indistinct ] gabi : what ? stefan : yes , lies . they 're all lies . gabi : no , no , no , no , no . it is all true , every single word , every single syllable . stefan : none of it is true . none of it is true , not even a little bit . what you are really saying is ... when you saw me kissing chloe , it made you really jealous . did n't it ? gabi : [ chuckles ] tripp : yeah , if you want , you can go upstairs and get settled . you know , you can have my room . haley : no , i ca n't have your room . tripp : no , no , do n't worry about it . i can sleep on the couch . claire : [ laughs ] tripp , do n't be silly . you can sleep in my room . [ laughs ] it 's not like we do n't spend most nights in bed together anyway . tripp : okay , yeah . thanks , claire . claire : sure . tripp : yeah , make yourself at home . haley : oh , thank you guys so much . tripp : now , i am very grateful that you 're being so cool with this . 'cause to be honest , i was n't so sure you would be . claire : really ? really , why ? tripp : because you are n't exactly thrilled about me being friends with haley in the first place . claire : okay . i know , i know . but you know me . i know i can be a little bit insecure sometimes , but i 'm totally fine with haley staying here . really . lani : after theo got well , i thought we were done having our families on opposite sides . but now with our dads running against each other , i just -- i really hope it does n't make things awkward for us . jj : mm - hmm . trust me , i 'm not exactly rooting for my dad . if haley gets deported , i -- i do n't know if i 'll ever forgive him . lani : you really care about her , do n't you ? jj : we kinda got close , but ... does n't matter now though . she hates me . lani : well , i do hope that you guys get to work it all out , see where it goes . you deserve to be happy . and i want that for you . jj : thank you . and ... i want you to know , i 'm happy for you and eli . i know you guys have been through a lot . and i 'm just glad to finally see you find some happiness . lani : thank you . that means so much . jack : yes , yes , i 'm happy to report that the party has given me their blessing , so i may formally announce my candidacy for salem 's next mayor . sheila : you should n't let this guy hijack your event . abe : well , i just said i welcome an open discourse , so i have to let jack speak . sheila : along with free publicity . way to hand over the keys to the mayor 's office . abe : well , i 'm not concerned about that . jack : jennifer , yes . jennifer : mr. deveraux , i was wondering if you could just give us some insight into your platform . i mean , what are the issues you intend to focus on ? jack : well , i have to admit , my platform is a work in progress , but i 'll tell you this . i intend to put the people of salem first , and that means protecting them from the criminals that live in this town , and yes , that includes illegal immigrants . exposing the hypocrisy of melinda trask was not my endgame . no , no , just the beginning . justice will not be served until melinda trask 's sister , haley chen , is found and deported . jennifer : do you really think it 's fair to call ms . chen a criminal ? i mean , she came here when she was a child . she had no options . but through perseverance and her determination , she became a nurse and she has served our community . she has no criminal record . jack : well , she did come here illegally , and that makes her , by law , a criminal . we have to take a strong stance on this , and that means making an example of haley chen . of course , we ca n't do that until the current mayor and his police department actually do something about it . they 've been tasked with finding ms . chen , but they seem to have trouble with that . now , i 'm not sure , are you -- are you purposely allowing the police department to drag their heels on this because of your weak stance on crime ? i mean , which is it , mayor carver ? under your leadership is the police department incapable , incompetent , or willfully defiant of this nation 's laws ? no more excuses with cologuard . abe : i can assure you that the salem pd is following the rule of law . they are doing everything they can to find ms . chen and to question her . but to suggest that haley chen is some kind of threat to our society is a gross exaggeration . i firmly believe that there are much bigger issues facing the city of salem . jack : well , you 've heard it here first , folks . mayor carver does not consider illegal immigration to be a priority . rest assured however , i do not feel the same . so if anyone here knows anything about the whereabouts of haley chen , please contact me or my campaign manager , eve donovan . abe : you know , i think that mr . deveraux has taken enough of the media 's time . and i 'd like to refocus your attention on the main objective of this fund- raiser , which is to raise money for salem 's homeless shelters . that is unless you have something else to add , jack . jack : oh . oh , no , no . i think i 've said everything i need to say . thank you very much . thank you , thank you . [ applause ] [ laughs ] thank you . gabi : [ giggles sarcastically ] you think i 'm jealous ? stefan : mm - hmm . gabi : have you not been paying attention these last couple of months ? do you just not notice that i cringe every time that you are around ? because let me assure you , that is what i do . right now , that 's what 's happening . you make my skin crawl . you make my stomach turn . stefan : yet i ca n't help but notice that you 're constantly over here making excuses to be near me . gabi : oh , my gosh . i ca n't stand your ego . you know , i would not be here unless my company was tied to yours , okay ? you would never see me again . stefan : okay . if you say so . gabi : you are seriously delusional . i would n't touch you with a 12-foot pole unless i was using that pole to beat you senseless . stefan : oh . gabi : you know , you -- you have this inflated opinion of yourself , because chloe has not seen the real twisted , damaged stefan dimera . but as soon as she does , she 's not gon na be able to run away from you fast enough . just -- just face it , stefan , you are destined to be all alone just like your father . stefan : oh , gabi , like you 're the one to talk . yeah , i know all about your relationship history . the only reason chad even looked at you is because he thought abigail was dead . and what about ... [ snaps fingers ] eli and -- and jj ? right ? what about them ? oh , right , they both cheated on you . your healthiest relationship was with will horton , and he turned out to be gay ! gabi : at least he was a real person and not some alter in someone 's head ! chloe : guys , guys , please . could you keep your voices down ? the kids are sleeping . gabi : oh , do n't worry . we 're all done here . word of advice , chloe . get out while you still can . limu emu and doug . brady : you must feel very proud of yourself . eve : oh , thank you , brady . but i think the person that you really want to congratulate here is jack . brady : i would n't use the word `` congratulate . `` but i think i 'm talking to the right person because i 'm pretty sure , eve , you 're the one that masterminded his decision to run for mayor , right ? eve : well , you say that as if it were a bad thing . brady : destroying innocent people 's lives ? eve : are you talking about haley chen ? well , she 's no innocent , brady . brady : she 's cannon fodder , eve . just like jack . eve : what does that mean ? brady : do n't you be coy with me . you know that every revenge plot has to have a little bit of collateral damage . you figure that jack has done this thing before . why not manipulate him into doing it again ? the harm in this , eve , is that he 's not that kind of man anymore . you 're encouraging him to regress into the man he was before jennifer , before he bettered himself . eve : well , there you go , judging everybody just like you always do . except this time , instead of judging me , you 're judging jack , too . well , for your information , jack is doing what is best for him and i am doing what is best for me . brady : [ laughs ] eve : you think it 's funny ? brady : yeah . eve : that woman over there , she blew up my life . the one , if you 'll remember back not too long ago , that we were trying to build together . brady : yeah , i do . eve : all right . so now , i 'm just picking up the pieces and trying to make a new life . brady : that 's good . the problem is you 're not trying to make a new life , eve . you 're trying to steal the one that belongs to jennifer . eve : [ sighs ] jennifer : can i talk to you in private for a second ? lani : and if you hear from haley again -- eli : if she makes contact at all , let us know . lani : and we 're gon na do our best to make sure that this all works out . for everyone . jj : thanks , you guys . i appreciate it . abe : hey . jj : abe . i just heard that my dad 's boning up on some plans to run against you . abe : yeah , yeah . he just made it official . showed up at a fund - raiser . he said that he was going to protect this town from undocumented immigrants . jj : damn it . i ca n't believe he 's still harping on that . abe : oh , he 's not gon na stop harping anytime soon . he talks about how he intends to make an example of haley . claire : you know , you were right , tripp . haley is awfully cute . tripp : yeah , and really nice , too . claire : yeah . i mean , she seems to be . anyway , i definitely get why jj 's so into her . i really hope they can work things out . tripp : i do n't know . i mean , he really screwed up by betraying her trust like that . i mean , she would n't even be in this mess if , you know , he 'd just kept his mouth shut . haley , what -- what 's wrong ? haley : jj 's dad was just on the news and he says that they need to make an example out of me . he 's determined to have me deported . oh , god . tripp : i 'm so -- i 'm so sorry . i am so sorry . chloe : so gabi really gets under your skin , huh ? stefan : [ laughs ] the woman had me believe i had a child just to torture me . chloe : yeah , i heard that . stefan : now , she 's trying to worm her way back into my company . chloe : so you 're kind of stuck with her , right ? stefan : for now . but i 'm gon na do everything possible to make that bitch 's life miserable . brady : hey . uh - oh , is everything okay ? gabi : no , everything is not okay . we need to wipe that smug smile off of stefan dimera 's face , okay ? i am all in . let 's just do it , do it , do it ! brady : sounds good . good , this is what i wanted to hear . why did you become so decisive all of a sudden ? gabi : i was just reminded how awful and infuriating that man is , how -- how cruel and spiteful and altogether horrible he can be . we need to destroy him . so there you are with your depression brady : this calls for a toast . to our new alliance . let 's just annihilate stefan dimera , okay ? gabi : hear , hear . brady : hear , hear . gabi : hmm . brady : hmm ? gabi : there is actually something that i think you should know . brady : okay . gabi : i think stefan 's got his sights set on new prey , and it happens to be your ex - wife . brady : what do you mean ? gabi : when i was at stefan 's earlier , i saw him and chloe locked in a kiss . chloe : look , this is probably none of my business , but it ca n't be healthy for you to hold on to all that anger toward gabi . stefan : i do n't want to talk about gabi anymore , okay ? i 'd very much like to get back to where we were before we were so rudely interrupted . chloe : yeah , i think that moment 's passed . stefan : fair enough . chloe : and i have to admit , i 'm still a bit conflicted about what we were talking about earlier , you and me . i just -- i need some time to figure things out . stefan : all right . i 'm a patient man . all right . [ growls ] it 's okay . it 's okay . jack : over here , is -- is this -- this private enough ? jennifer : yeah . yeah , i think so . jack : all right . well , go ahead , blast away . i can take it . jennifer : i 'm not gon na blast you , jack . i mean , you 're a grown man . you can say and do whatever you want . i just wanted to tell you that your little performance over there was really sad . jack : sad ? jennifer : mm - hmm . it was really sad . because when i met you , yeah , you had this horrible , ruthless streak . but you wanted to change and you worked so hard to change and -- and you did , and you became a better man , jack . and i really want to believe that deep down inside you , that jack is still there . my jack , the jack that i married , the jack that i fell so deeply in love with . but i 'm just telling you , if you keep walking down this dark path , you 'll have not only lost your memory , you 'll have lost your soul . jack : we have to take a strong stance on this , and that means making an example of haley chen . of course , we ca n't do that -- jj : i ca n't believe this . how could he go after haley like that ? abe : i 'm sorry . sorry , jj . jj : no , i am . i am the one who is sorry for ever trusting my dad . if he wins , he 'll definitely have haley deported , and that ca n't happen . so if there is anything that i can do to help your campaign , i 'll do it . we have to stop my dad from winning . jack : so if anyone here knows anything about the whereabouts of haley chen , please contact me or my campaign manager , eve donovan . haley : did you -- did you guys hear that ? everyone will be looking for me , and they 're not gon na stop until i 'm kicked out of this country ! tripp : no , no , no . look , look , okay , no one here is going to report you . you are safe here , okay ? that is not going to happen . haley : right . yeah , yeah , yeah , i know . i 'm just gon na go lie down . tripp : here , i 'll get you some fresh sheets . claire : hang in there , haley . haley : thanks .

it 's about us . it 's about us protecting our family . lucas : from what ? sami : look , i do n't have time to explain . we 'll just go get will , and we 'll get out of here . lucas : listen to me . i 'd do anything for you . just tell me what the hell 's got you so scared . announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . e.j . : hey , young lady , allow me . my , do n't you look delicious enough to eat today . billie : what nice manners you have ... for a wolf . e.j . : wolves get very bad press . billie : they 're not the only ones . e.j . : billie , do not believe everything you read in the newspapers , especially about me . billie : i do n't . bo , on the other hand ... e.j . : ah . i take it your meeting did n't go very well . billie : actually , you 'd be wrong . he was blown away by century cell . he loved the fact that you can access this through your cellphone . he loved the fact that it was affordable . he just did n't love you . e.j . : hmm . and i 'm assuming by extension he did n't like my company 's involvement . billie : [ sighs ] you know , he was all set to go forward with century cell , give it a trial run until he found out that mythic was its backer . i 'm sorry . i had to be honest with him . e.j . : no , billie , please . i 'm sorry . you put all this effort into this product , and i 'm standing in the way of its success . billie : no , no , i mean , you and bo , you do n't get along . it 's no big deal . e.j . : it is a big deal . billie : so , do you think the board of directors will pass ? e.j . : i do n't know . i do n't know . bo 's testimonial certainly would have helped get it the green light . billie : damn it . i knew i should have pushed harder . e.j . : go easy on yourself there , young lady . billie : no , i ca n't . you know what ? this is too important to me . is n't there something else we can do ? e.j . : well , i mean , i 'll talk to the board of directors . i 'll tell them we 're still test - marketing the product . i have a feeling that they 'll understand . billie : but you know what ? i am friends with roman also . and he 's a cop . i could ask him . e.j . : no . if bo was n't willing to endorse century cell because of me , roman 's not going to , either . billie : [ sighs ] yeah , maybe you 're right . you know , bo is a really good guy , but sometime he can just -- he can be so -- e.j . : bloody closed - minded . billie : yes , that 's it . e.j . : yeah , some men , they like to hunt ducks . bo brady likes to hunt me . it seems to be his obsession . billie : yeah , he still thinks that you hired patrick to kidnap hope . e.j . : you know , billie , if i were half as evil and powerful as bo brady says that i am , you 'd think that he would want to have century cell in his house , i mean , to keep the boogeyman here at bay . [ chuckles ] billie : hey , do you happen to have one of those boogeymen on your payroll ? that 's too bad , because if you did , we could actually scare bo into using this product . would n't that be good ? e.j . : that would be a good idea . [ laughs ] lucas : why are you so scared ? sami : i 'm not . why do you keep saying that ? lucas : 'cause you 're shaking like a leaf . come here . sami : no , lucas , please . please , let 's just go . lucas : listen to me for a second , all right ? please , sit . you 're a wreck . sami : lucas , i just really want you to do this for me , please . lucas : you really want to yank will out of high school ? you want to do that ? you want to go to a new town , a whole new place , start a new life with a job , with a new baby ? sami : no , i think we could see it as an adventure . please . lucas : did somebody threaten you ? did they threaten will ? sami : lucas , i 'll tell you everything . i promise i will , but once we 're on the road , once we 're out of here , okay ? lucas : no , no , no , no , no . you 've been all over the place lately . i mean , one minute you 're okay with this , and the next minute you 're terrified . you 're scared of somebody , and i think i know who it is . e.j . wells ? abby : look , nick , i am really happy for you . you have to tell me everything . nick : okay , all right . okay . i really need to stop saying `` okay . `` abby : okay . nick : okay , so , me and chelsea are studying , right ? and then all of a sudden , we start yodeling . abby : yodeling ? nick : yeah , i do n't know . it 's like a math thing . anyway , we start yodeling , and then i guess being so close together , our pheromones became increasingly attracted to each other . abby : pheromones ? nick : yeah , pheromones , as in the greek `` pherein `` meaning `` to carry , `` `` mone `` as in `` hormone . `` it 's a chemical substance humans and animals produce that causes sexual attraction . anyway ... abby : well , you and chelsea have been in phero range before , right ? nick : yeah . abby : well , she never kissed you then . nick : right , exactly . and that 's what 's weird , because i used to be nick fallon , mr . totally resistible . now i 'm nick fallon -- abby : chump . nick : what ? abby : nick , i hate saying this , but i think chelsea 's just playing you . you know , trying to pay you back for that shane patton thing . nick : no , no , no , no , no . she 's way over that . abby : no , she does n't get over stuff that easily . she 's still trying to get even with roger stubbens . nick : who is roger stubbens ? abby : he stole her lunch money in the first grade . nick : well , if roger stubbens had come to chelsea 's rescue and saved her from dr . rebert , maybe she would have kissed him , too . abby : no , nick . you still do n't understand . look , i 've known chelsea for a really , really long time . and she may be grateful to you for getting rid of dr . rebert , but that does n't mean she forgave you for the whole shane patton thing . nick : i explained all of this to her , abby . she totally gets it . abby : she gets that you had a huge crush on her . i mean , trust me , she will never know why you made her fall in love with a cyber cyrano . nick : i made a mistake , abby . abby : yeah , you did , nick . and now she 's getting you back for it . nick : i do n't understand why you ca n't understand that she kissed me because she wanted to . abby : because . look , nick , i 'm sorry , but you 're not her type . chelsea 's vulnerable . she needs a guy who can protect her . nick : i can protect her . i proved that . abby : that 's not the only thing . trust is an even bigger thing with chelsea . nick : she can trust me . abby : you lied about shane patton . nick : yeah , i know . and that 's why i need to tell her the truth about everything now , abby . no more secrets . abby : everything ? nick , like what ? nick : like i slept with her mom . closed captioning of this program is brought to you in part by olivier fresh pastas and sauces . share your passion . abby : nick , you can not tell chelsea you slept with billie . nick : she wants honesty . abby : not that kind of honesty . she 's gon na hate you if you tell her the truth . nick : she 'll be angry . she 'll be very angry , but just for a while . abby : yeah , try forever . nick : i will take the consequences , abby , but i wo n't lie . abby : nick , i 'm not asking you to lie . just keep your mouth shut . nick : like i did with shane patton ? not telling is lying . i 'm not gon na make that mistake again . e.j . : mythic 's just completed its internal strategy report , and we 've discovered , actually , we have a `` bad guy `` shortage . so we 're interviewing at the moment , but i have to be honest , the potential candidates are falling well below the darth vader standards that we 're looking for . billie : [ laughs ] okay , i gotcha . hey , i 've got a good idea . why do n't i break into bo 's house , huh ? one little burglary and it 'll completely convince him to use our system , just like that . e.j . : why , billie reed , i had no idea you were so devious . i love it . billie : oh , do n't get your hopes up . i used to be devious , but , no , my law- breaking days are over . e.j . : more 's the pity , eh ? i bet you made a very enchanting outlaw . billie : we were talking business , remember ? e.j . : absolutely . willow : mr. wells , i do n't mean to rush you , but i need to get going . e.j . : that 's quite all right , willow . i 'll be with you in just a moment . sorry . that 's shawn brady 's ex - girlfriend . poor thing 's pregnant and penniless . i promised i 'd help her find a job . billie : uh , go right ahead . i have some phone calls to make anyway . e.j . : good . billie : by the way ... i think you 're doing a good thing . e.j . : shh , all right ? i do n't want anyone knowing that salem 's number - one evildoer got a soft touch . willow : mr. wells . e.j . : i have a job for you . willow : great . what is it ? e.j . : let 's go outside , eh ? and this is just between the two of us . sami : why is everything always about e.j . with you ? lucas : because it is with you . obviously you guys have a history together . sami : but it 's just that . it 's a history . it 's in the past . lucas : no , it 's not . every time you see him , you get a little weird . you get crazy , start flipping out . so if he wo n't go anywhere , fine , we 'll move . we 'll get another apartment . i do n't have to work at mythic . i 'll do whatever i want , find another job in town . sami : but , lucas , it 's not just e.j . he 's not the only reason to leave town . lucas : then what is ? sami : i told you . lucas : and i told you . i know you . i know when you 're lying to me . something happened when i was n't here . what was it ? sami : nothing . nothing happened . lucas : nothing happened , huh ? you gon na pull that on me again ? we 're back to that ? great . square one . nice . i 've had it . sami : lucas , i love you . lucas : then be honest with me . tell me what 's got you so damn scared . i 'll do whatever you want . i 'll do whatever you want . just tell me why i 'm doing it . sami : i ca n't . lucas : all right , fine . then i ca n't marry you . willow : about that job , mr. wells -- e.j . : you know , willow , i think perhaps this was a mistake . once shawn hears you 're pregnant , he 's gon na come back to help you , and i 'll have stuck my neck out for nothing . willow : shawn 's not coming back . last time i saw him , he was jumping off a cruise ship with belle and their kid . e.j . : he was , really ? where was that , caribbean ? willow : no , about 1,000 miles from australia . e.j . : i take it he 's presumed dead . willow : well , his family wants everybody to think so , but i 'm not buying it . anyway , shawn would never come back , so here i am alone , raising our child , so , please , mr. wells , what is the job ? e.j . : well , it 's really just a day 's employment . but it pays very well . willow : okay , well , i guess that 's better than nothing . e.j . : okay , well , turn around . turn around . now bend over . bend over , sweetheart . willow : what are you doing ? e.j . : [ chuckles ] i 'm writing you a check . what 's your surname , willow ? willow : stark . e.j . : stark , okay . willow : so , does this mean that i 'm hired ? e.j . : the job is yours , if you want it . there 's a good girl . up you go . now ... do you want to see how much you 'll be earning ? willow : i thought you said this was just a day 's employment . e.j . : not even . willow : well , this is two years ' salary . what exactly would i be doing ? e.j . : something that should n't be much of a stretch for a person like you . i want you to break into somebody 's house for me . abby : nick , i think it 's great that you want to be honest with chelsea . you should be , but just be honest starting now . do n't tell her every little secret about your past . nick : i slept with her mother , abby . that 's not a little secret . that 's a bomb waiting to explode . abby : nick , chelsea is gon na freak out . nick : that 's why i need to tell her the truth myself . it 'll be bad , but if she hears it from someone else , it 'll be worse . abby : who else knows ? you and i and billie are the only ones . nick : look , if i learned one thing from this whole mess it 's that lies do n't stay in the box . if i tell chelsea myself , i still have a chance . abby : at what ? nick : not losing her . abby : this is what this whole thing 's about ? nick : well , what did you think ? i 've loved chelsea from the second i saw her . of course that 's what this is about . abby : you ca n't do this to them just because you have a stupid crush . nick : a crush ? abby , there is only one chelsea in the world for me . i will do whatever it takes to keep her . abby : even ruin her relationship with her mom ? nick : no , of course that 's not what i want . but if that 's what happens because i told the truth -- abby : then it 's not your problem , huh ? what happened to you , nick ? nick : where are you going ? abby ! sami : you do n't want to marry me ? lucas : i do n't want to continue with all the lies and the secrets . that 's all we ever do . i 'm sick of it , all right ? it hurts too damn much . sami : so if i do n't come up with some big , mysterious reason for why i want to leave town , you 're just -- you 're just gon na walk away from me ? lucas : i do n't want a big , mysterious reason . i want the truth , all right ? that 's what i want . we ca n't do that . all we do is lie to each other . i 'm not gon na do it anymore . sami : i 'm not lying . i 'm not trying to hide anything . lucas : do n't do it again and start with that same crap . really , stop it . sami : every time you look at me , you see my past . you see every mistake i have ever made . lucas : no . that 's not true . sami : i will never be able to escape the fact that i am ... i 'm sami brady . i 'll never be able to escape my past , will i ? lucas : stop it , all right ? i have a bad past , too . sami : not like mine . everybody always expects me to screw up . lucas : i do n't . sami : oh , yes , you do . and the worst part is i never let you down , do i ? lucas ... i ca n't . i 'm sorry . i ca n't keep living this lie . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . lucas : living what lie ? what are you talking about ? sami : i ca n't . you 'll hate me . lucas : i wo n't . sami : lucas , every time i screw up ... you always take back your love . you -- you do n't -- lucas : i 'm sorry . i never realized that i did that . i 'm sorry , okay ? sami : it 's me , all right ? i am not perfect . i 'm a mess , and i - i have these habits , and they 're horrible , and i ca n't -- lucas : listen to me -- stay focused on our problem . i do n't want to talk about the past , all right ? sami : i am the past ! i make these horrible mistakes , and everyone in this town knows it ! your mother leads the pack . even my dad -- he 's always -- lucas : wait a minute . your dad is proud of you . he gave you an award in front of everybody . sami : because he was so shocked that i could actually do the right thing . lucas : no , honey , he was proud of you . he wanted to show everybody that you 've changed . sami : but i have n't . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . i have n't changed . i am ... me . and no amount of awards is going to change that . lucas , you ... you ca n't ask me to bare my soul to you , please . if you love me , then you -- then you just have to accept me . willow : i 'm not breaking into somebody 's house . are you crazy ? i 'm not gon na have my baby in jail . e.j . : you 're not gon na get caught . this is a simple smash - and - grab , willow . willow : who and what ? e.j . : bo brady 's house . hope 's jewelry . willow : you are crazy . i am not breaking into a cop 's house . e.j . : no ? not for all this money ? hmm ? willow : what if something went wrong ? e.j . : it wo n't . this is gon na take you an hour . one hour ... you can have a down payment on a two - bedroom house for you and your baby . you can get yourself a job . let 's be honest , sweetheart . this is n't the first time you 've broken the law . willow : forget it . you know what ? i 'm just gon na look for a job in the want ads . e.j . : yeah , you 're right . that 's a good idea . i bet there 's a lot of jobs out there for pregnant ex - hookers . maggie : ooh . oh , what happened to you ? abby : nothing . maggie : okay . so , um [ clears throat ] then grab a napkin and start folding . does this `` nothing `` have a name ? abby : yeah , jerk . all he cares about is getting what he wants . break someone 's heart ? too bad . maggie : so , what happened to mimi lockhart ? abby : what ? maggie : did he dump her ? abby : no , she moved out west to be with her younger brother . do you think i 'm talking about max brady ? maggie : well , are n't you ? abby : no . maggie : oh . oh , well , honey , i - i - i thought he was a heartbreaker . wait a minute . you 're not gon na start seeing him now that mimi is gone , are you ? abby : can we not talk about this ? nick is the jerk i 'm mad at . maggie : nick . nick , our nick ? abby : yes , our nick . maggie : well , you 're gon na have to give me a little more information than that . 'cause , i mean , what did he do ? abby : it 's not what he did . it 's what he 's going to do . maggie : which is ? abby : ruin two people 's lives . maggie : look , this is probably the wrong advice since i have no idea what you 're talking about , but if nick has n't done whatever it is he was supposed to do , why ca n't you stop him ? abby : oh , i 've tried . he wo n't even listen . maggie : well , there must be someone who can get through to him . abby : um , aunt maggie , i am gon na come back here and fold every single napkin , but i have to go . and , by the way , you are a genius . maggie : if i 'm such a genius , why ca n't i make that child see that max brady is bad news ? [ telephone rings ] ms. ashwell : ywca . director speaking . may i help you ? e.j . : yes , i wonder if you could tell me your policy on children , please ? ms. ashwell : we only rent to single women , sir . children are n't allowed . e.j . : oh , dear . ms. ashwell : is there a problem ? e.j . : not for me . but there definitely is for my friend ... willow stark . ms. ashwell : oh . she 's been staying here off and on for months . i know willow quite well . e.j . : oh , then you must already know that she 's pregnant . [ door opens ] maggie : hey . nick : aunt maggie , is abby here ? maggie : she just left . nick : damn . maggie : look , what is going on with you two ? nick : what did she say ? maggie : that you were selfish and a jerk . nick : she did n't say why ? maggie : no , but somebody better tell me . nick : [ sighs ] aunt maggie , i 'm sorry . i ca n't . it 's a secret . maggie : look , if you knew someone is doing something that 's putting themselves or someone else in danger , it is your obligation -- nick : whoa , aunt maggie , it 's all right . i 'm not doing anything that 's putting anybody in danger . it 's not like my friends are out ghost riding or something , all right ? this is something that happened in the past . maggie : so this something that happened , did it hurt anybody ? nick : no , no . in fact , one of the people involved actually gained a lot more confidence from the whole thing . maggie : so why is your cousin so furious with you ? nick : because she wants me to keep quiet about it , and i ca n't do that . i want to explain this to her . she needs to understand . maggie : nick , abby is a smart girl . i think i would think about her advice if i were you . billie : okay , well , just let me know as soon as you 're finished . that 'd be great . all right , thanks . hey . that was this whiz kid i hired from salem u. i got him to put together a powerpoint presentation for me 'cause i figured it would be good to have that when we went into meet with the board of directors . e.j . : excellent . billie : really ? good , 'cause i was just afraid that i might be stepping on your toes . e.j . : not at all . actually , it 's refreshing to see somebody as beautiful as you with a bit of initiative . billie : thank you . actually , i figured it 'd be a good idea , seeing as bo decided to pass . e.j . : you know , i would n't worry about that . you never know , he might even change his mind . willow : hey . abby . abby : willow . willow : do you have a minute ? abby : um , actually , i do n't . i have to do something . willow : can you just talk to your aunt maggie about getting my job back ? abby : are you kidding ? willow : well , i do n't have to waitress this time . i can do something else . abby : yeah , reality check . willow : i 'll wash dishes . i 'll clean the bathroom . i 'll do anything . abby : oh , i know you 'll do anything , willow . you set my cousin shawn 's apartment on fire , you took a bribe to lie about him in court , and you sold him out to the kiriakises , so forget it . willow : i know that i screwed up . abby : screwed up ? shawn and belle had to take their baby and go on the run because of your lies . you hurt my family , and that 's something we do n't forgive . willow : i am your family , abby . i 'm having shawn 's baby . lucas : i do n't know what to say . sami : ca n't you just say that you 'll accept me ? and that my life with you is n't just gon na be one big test ? lucas : it 's not a test , honey . i want to know why you 're upset . that 's all . i mean , when i left , you were fine with us getting married . everything was perfect . then when i come back , you 're a total wreck . you want to leave town . you want to pack up everything . you want to take will out of school . you want to leave the town where you grew up . i think i have a right to know why . sami : i ca n't tell you . lucas : all right , fine . then we got a real problem if you ca n't trust me . sami : i do trust you . but i know you , lucas . as soon as you hear something you do n't like , you 're gon na walk away . lucas : i 'm sorry , all right ? i wo n't do that . i wo n't do it . if you 're honest with me , you tell me why you 're upset , i promise i wo n't walk away . sami : i ca n't . lucas : just give me a chance to prove it , all right ? listen . listen to me . we are in a house of god . i promise if you tell me why you 're upset , i 'll understand . i wo n't walk away from you . i promise . please . sami : i 'm scared , lucas . i 'm so scared . lucas : i know you 're scared , but tell me what 's going on , and i promise we 'll work it out , all right -- together . together we 'll make sure it 's okay . sami : okay . okay . you 're right . it was e.j . he was here while you were gone . lucas : all right . all right , i knew it . what did he say ? sami : he said -- celeste : well , i hope i 'm not interrupting anything . abby : you 're pregnant ? willow : yep , with shawn 's second child . i hope it 's a boy . what would that make it ? shawn brady iii ? abby : how do you know it 's shawn 's baby ? it could be anyone 's . willow : i have scientific proof . i had an amnio done . abby : shawn does n't know yet , does he ? willow : yeah , he does , but he could have cared less . abby : does n't sound like him . willow : yeah , well , it is . last time i saw him , he was so preoccupied with belle and claire , he could have cared less about me . abby : it must hurt . willow : you think ? i loved him . he was the first person that treated me like i was a human , like i had a brain up there . abby : if you loved him so much , why would you do such horrible things to him ? willow : i guess it 's the way that i grew up . somebody hurts you , you hurt them back . the more you love someone , the more they can hurt you , so you hurt back as hard as you can . abby : i 'm sorry you had a lousy childhood , but guess what . that does n't give you a pass to wreck people 's lives . willow : i know , i know . i 'm just saying love is confusing for me . i do n't always get it right . abby : well , it 's not confusing to me . it 's real clear that i love shawn and belle and my little cousin claire , who i may never get to see again because of you . willow : i 'm sorry . abby : yeah , me , too . and do n't bother my aunt maggie . willow : abby .

[ scene_break ] victor : ambition could work against you when it comes to love . i mean , that 's from my experience -- married , divorced . the more success you achieve , the less you can trust the women in your life . do they love you or do they love your money ? austin : it would n't be that way with carrie . victor : how do you know ? austin : bill gates -- he 's got a gazillion dollars , he 's happily married , and him and his wife use their millions to make the world a better place . i know that 's carrie 's dream . and together we can do great things . victor : together ? i do n't think so . [ scene_break ] caroline : i knew in my heart that i had done the right thing by staying with grandpa shawn . so , no , i do n't have any real regrets . have you searched your soul , carrie ? because my advice is , do n't make a decision this big until you 're ready to commit heart , body , and soul to one man or the other . carrie : thanks , grandma . i can always depend on you . [ sighs ] but i do know one thing -- whatever decision i make , whenever i make it , there is one person who will not be happy for me -- sami .

[ scene_break ] victor : i did n't get where i am by being a sentimental fool . titan 's bottom line is my primary concern . and if carrie is distracted by you while she 's working with lucas , who happens to be in love with her , i hate to think what 's gon na happen to business . you want to be a mogul , austin ? let carrie go . austin : i ca n't do that , victor . i plan on winning on all fronts . victor : so do i . so does lucas . thanks for picking up the check . austin : i 'm not giving up on you , carrie . you are the woman that i love . [ scene_break ] lucas : i 've always had this loser mentality . maybe it 's because i grew up without a father and never had that male influence . relationships have always been kind of hard . i 've never had the strength , but maybe i did n't know what i needed . but now i know what i want .. i know what i need . i need carrie . i need a little house with a couple kids , you know ? philip : mm - hmm . lucas : being a hands - on dad 's really changed me . philip : believe me , i know what you mean . lucas : i 'm not gon na blow it this time . i 'm not gon na let austin take carrie away from me . no way . philip : you sound pretty determined . lucas : i 'm sure . philip : well , you know i 'm on your side . what can i say , though ? let the best brother win .

[ telephone rings ] yeah , i 'm here . what happened ? [ sighs ] how is that possible ? all right . just keep trying . stephanie : did they find out the problem ? philip : the problem is n't with this terminal . it 's company wide . stephanie : you mean like on the server ? philip : both servers . titan 's entire database was wiped clean . stephanie : what ? ! how could that happen ? 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 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 . philip : oh , i have a damn good idea . melanie : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . um , when things -- when things pile on me , i just -- i turn into a cry baby , but , uh , i 'm done . uh , thank you . i 'm gon na ... brady : it 's -- hey , listen . listen . the coat 's waterproof . everything 's fine . do you want to sit down and talk about this for a while ? melanie : no . no . i 'm a big girl . brady : melanie , if you do n't want to be alone , i can sit down and i can talk to you about this . it 's purely a suggestion . melanie : why are you being nice to me ? brady : i -- i do n't know . hey , well , you gave us the alternative fuels project at titan , right ? so we 're gon na make a lot of money on it . i should be nice to you , right ? i mean , is n't that the golden rule of business ? melanie : yes , it is . do unto others -- brady : exactly . melanie : yeah . philip thinks that , too . you see , that 's why i do n't have a job or any money or royalties till god knows how long . he 'll probably cheat me out of that , too , but it 's been nice working with you , brady . philip : melanie , where are you going ? melanie : um , i 'm gon na hop in my cute , little car i ca n't afford anymore and go home . brady : i got to tell you , i do n't think you should be driving right now . melanie : why ? brady : why ? 'cause you 're upset , and you 're angry , and i just think it 's best . melanie : um , i still do n't understand why you 're being so nice to me . brady : tell you what . i know the perfect place for you to work out all this crazy anger . can i show it to you ? e.j . : now , listen . when it comes to who kisses whom ... my only interest is in you . when are you finally gon na believe that ? hmm ? nicole : i 'm trying . e.j . : okay . we need to get past this whole jealousy thing . i thought i 've proven to you , nicole . you have my heart -- you -- nobody else -- you . nicole : i know . you did prove it to me . it 's just sami today . she just knows how to push my buttons . e.j . : look , my worry about samantha and this fbi guy is only because i 'm concerned for johnny 's safety . nicole : johnny 's safety ? e.j . : johnny 's . look , this guy -- this agent , okay ? -- he 's supposed to be guarding samantha , and , instead , he 's involved in these extracurricular activities . he 's not doing his job properly . nicole : you mean sami and this guy are -- e.j . : i do n't know . maybe . i do n't want to know . the fact is now she 's back ... and she has to understand that her security is very important because it directly affects johnny 's security . nicole : but i do n't understand . i mean , the hit man that was after her was killed in a shootout at the hospital . e.j . : sure . but what about the guy who hired him ? nicole : oh . e.j . : now , if he still thinks that samantha is some kind of liability ... nicole : right . e.j . : look , i just do n't want this guy to get this assignment , if it were to come to that . nicole : okay . e.j . : frankly , this whole insecurity -- uh , samantha and johnny and their safety is just -- whatever . i 'll be very happy when this whole thing comes to an end . nicole : yeah , me too .

[ door opens , closes ] but it 's in the system . does n't he understand that ? stephanie : a different worm . melanie : this place ? brady : yep . this place . melanie : my brother is the bartender here . i 'm under age . i ca n't drink . brady : we 're not here for the booze . melanie : oh , then what ? the , uh -- the pretzels ? brady : [ chuckles ] no . i thought you needed to blow off a little steam . melanie : yeah ? can we , uh , can we tie philip to those chairs and break those bottles over his head ? [ both chuckle ] brady : no . actually , he probably deserves it , but i thought we could do the next best thing . sr . theresa : sami , you need to call yourself . a lot of people do n't give their real names when they come in looking for guidance . sami : yeah . yeah , maybe . [ sighs ] i just think maybe i 'm crazy to think i can pull this off . i mean , that family -- they could find out anything . sr . theresa : well , we 'll pray that this is the exception . sami : you know , one time i was actually gon na tell grace 's father the truth , and then ... i was reminded why i ca n't ever do that , and now i 'm really glad i stuck to my guns . sr . theresa : we 'll get you through this . sami : i hope so ... because i do n't want to even think about what they would do if they ever found out . e.j . : there you go , sweetheart . nicole : thank you . e.j . : why do n't you think about this , hmm ? it 's not gon na be long before we 're married , on our honeymoon , jetting off somewhere fantastic . no samantha . nicole : [ sighs ] e.j . : uh - huh . no relatives and no work . nicole : oh , i wish we could do that right now . e.j . : yeah . oh . how did you get on finding a wedding dress ? did you find the designer ? nicole : oh , i ca n't believe i did n't tell you . it 's not a designer . it 's from a boutique . the perfect dress has revealed itself . e.j . : oh , wonderful . good , good , good . nicole : oh , but i 'm gon na need a down payment because they do n't take credit cards and i have to reserve it a.s.a.p . e.j . : what about the down payment i already gave you ? what did you do with that money ? roman : stefano , we id 'd the hit man who killed mayor marino . stefano : congratulations . six months late , of course . roman : and we ran a background check on him and all his known associates . stefano : and ? roman : and we 'd like to talk to you again . stefano : my time is very valuable , commander , all right ? our poor mayor was murdered on my doorstep , so my main concern was with the safety of my family . do you understand ? now , the murderer himself is killed . justice has been done . roman : no , stefano . justice has n't been done -- not till we find the man who hired him . stefano : fine . i 'll come in ... when you get a subpoena . good night . what i have to deal with . [ sighs ] listen , i want you to get in touch with our friend in st. louis , all right ? tell him to make sure that they destroy any trace of any kind of ties that i might have had with that idiot that took care of our illustrious mayor permanently . and i 'll expect some results in a week or you 'll be added to the list . i ca n't believe the incompetence . melanie : [ laughs ] i suck at this . brady : keep going . you 're getting better . you 're gon na get better . melanie : here . i 'm gon na have you -- how about you ? brady : all right . melanie : shoot a few there . wow . that was pretty good . whose , uh , whose face are you picturing up there ? brady : actually , i do have someone in mind . [ knock on door ] philip : i 'm here to see e.j . nicole : well , honey , weddings are expensive , between the catering and the florist . if you want me to economize , i can . e.j . : no , no , sweetheart . i do n't want you to do that . i obviously just have n't been paying attention to how much you have been doing to get this wedding going . so ... there you go . how about that ? should that cover it ? nicole : yes . that 's great . thank you very much . e.j . : philip . back again ? philip : like it or not . sr . theresa : rafe is in trouble ? but why ? he 's such a fine young man . sami : i think so , too , and the fbi does n't care about stuff like that . they just care about their stupid rules and , well , rafe bent a few helping me . sr . theresa : well , i 'm sure that they 'll change their mind in time . sami : somehow i doubt that . it 's even more of a reason that no one can ever find out that grace is here . rafe helped me hide her , and if the fbi found out about that ... sr . theresa : i 'd hate for that poor boy to lose his job . sami : [ scoffs ] even worse if her father 's family found out that he had helped me . sr . theresa : because the child 's father ... sami : [ sighs ] no . well , let 's just say that unless you 're a nun , you do n't cross that family and live to tell about it . philip : yeah , my computer guy called it a worm . nice , huh ? it made me think of the dimera family right off the bat . `` worm . `` `` virus . `` `` infection . `` destroying everything it touches . nicole : philip , um , i - i do n't know where this is coming from . i mean , e.j . certainly -- e.j . : shh ! shh ! it 's okay , sweetheart . philip is just making another baseless accusation . i 'm sure he 's about to apologize . philip : no , i 'm not . e.j . : the fact that he , uh , insults my family in my father 's house makes him more of an ass than usual . so maybe he 's gon na apologize , because i 'm pretty sure he wo n't want to face the consequences . philip : i 'm not like you . i do n't play word games . all i care about is action . e.j . : really ? what kind of action would that be , hmm ? philip : trust me . you 'll see . sr . theresa : and here she is . sami : hi . hi , my little angel . look how big you 're getting . [ sniffles ] mommy 's here . mommy 's here . [ smooches ] i missed you so much , sweetheart . oh , it 's okay . oh ! how is she doing ? do you still have plenty of my milk ? sr . theresa : oh , absolutely . she 's got a good appetite -- that one . sami : yes , you do . yes , you do . you 're such a big girl . i 'm your mommy . do you remember me ? sr . theresa : of course she does . sami : she 's the sweetest thing . sr . theresa : of course she does . sami : you know , i actually met this other little baby , and i got to hold her . she reminded me of you 'cause she 's so pretty , but she 's not as pretty as you , 'cause you 're gorgeous . yes , you are . sr . theresa : it 's so nice you can be around other little ones . uh , this other mother -- is , uh , is she a close friend ? sami : hardly . more like a mortal enemy , actually . but , um , she did have a really beautiful baby , and , when i was holding her , i got so emotional . [ exhales deeply ] sr . theresa : yes , well , that 's because you miss your little grace . sami : yeah . probably also because it occurred to me that that poor , innocent , helpless little girl is gon na be raised by that ... witch . sr . theresa : sami . sami : i ca n't help it . and if you knew her , you 'd say the same thing . would n't she ? would n't she ? yes , 'cause it 's true . yes , 'cause it 's true . e.j . : time to get out , philip . philip : who says , you ? [ sydney crying in distance ] nicole : uh , that 's sydney . uh , i 'll go check on her . e.j . : thanks , sweetie . the next time you want to make one of your idiotic accusations , you make it to me -- alone . my family is not involved . do you hear me ? philip : your family should know who you really are , e.j . e.j . : i 'm a dimera , and you 're out of your league . now get out . philip : go to hell . nicole : now that mommy 's here , things are good , huh ? yes . yes . oh , gosh . i wonder what set philip off , huh ? he better not say anything about brady . the idiot thinks we 're having an affair . that 's all that e.j . needs to hear . it wo n't matter if he -- if it 's not true . mommy is loved by only one man , and that 's your daddy . hmm ? [ sighs ] but if daddy ever finds out who your real mommy is ... oh ! okay , nicole , get a grip . just get a grip . dr. baker is the only one who can wreck things , and he is way out of the picture . huh ? sami held you , and she did n't suspect a thing . had her clammy , little hands all over you . huh ? can we go down again ? yeah ? can we go sleepy - bye ? yeah . that 's my girl . and it 's a good thing that you do n't have to live with her , huh ? yeah . yeah . because mommy will die before she lets that happen . yes . sr . theresa : so , nothing 's been worked out yet ? sami : i 'm trying . i am trying to figure out a way to bring grace back . there 's just so many things i have to explain . sr . theresa : you know , sami -- you know i love seeing you and , of course , grace does , too , but i 'm wondering if ... sami : i know . coming here was a really big risk . and the worst part is that every time i come , it 's just harder and harder to leave . hey , sweetheart . you know , mommy loves you so much , and i 'm so sorry that i have to go . but i promise you you 're gon na meet your big brother will soon and allie and johnny , and we 're gon na be together . we 're gon na be a family . brady : ah , look at that ! melanie : whoo ! brady : huh ? it 's your second one this game . melanie : you 're still ahead of me . brady : not for long . you 're getting better at this . melanie : that is true -- not for long . [ cellphone ringing ] brady : excuse me one second . hello ? nicole : hey , it -- it 's me . you have to help me . brady : nicole , i thought e.j . did n't want you to see me anymore . nicole : well , i do n't need to see you . i need you to do something for me -- now . it 's life or death . brady : so , what is wrong now ? nicole : philip 's flipped out . he 's over here talking to e.j . about -- i do n't know -- something . i think it 's that stupid fuels project . brady : i thought that was a dead issue . nicole : so did i. e.j . dropped it , and that was that , and then philip came storming in here . i 'm scared , brady . i mean , what if he goes back on his word ? what if he tells e.j . that we have some kind of secret ? brady : all right . what can i do ? nicole : something is going on at titan . i need you to find out what it is and then tell me if i have something to worry about . brady : all right . all right . i will . hi . uh , brady black checking in . right . i see . um , how did this happen ? melanie : i 'm sorry , e.j . did that get your lip ? did n't mean to hurt you . ooh . sorry . that one get you in the eye ? it 's okay . you 'll be fine . you have another one -- for now . it feels kind of cool . i could like dress up at night and fight crime with these things . what ? brady : bad news . melanie : must be for you . i 've already gotten mine today . brady : i just talked to my i.t . guy over at titan , and a virus has gotten into all our computers and destroyed our data . melanie : that does n't sound right . you have antivirus and firewalls and things to protect your computer , do n't you ? brady : yeah . well , nobody knows how it happened , but the point is , everything 's gone , including the specs on your alternative fuels project . melanie : what ? brady : yeah . yeah . the bottom line is if e.j . has decided he 's not gon na touch it and titan ca n't , your project is gone . philip : what ? calling the police , tough guy ? e.j . : well , i suppose i could call the police , could n't i ? i mean , you are trespassing . but no . actually , i have a much better way to handle this situation , if you 're sure you would n't rather leave , that is . philip : you know , you and your father have gotten away with a hell of a lot over the years . but this time you 've crossed the line . industrial espionage is a federal crime . so is corporate sabotage . we 're talking 30 years minimum . you think you can handle prison , pretty boy ? e.j . : one moment , please . i do hope you 're finished . philip : not by a long shot . stefano : bravo , elvis . very well done . sami : dad . roman : hey ! sami : hi . roman : my daughter comes to see me twice in the same day . how about that ? sami : well , i actually want to talk to you -- roman : i 'll tell you what . sit down . first , i want to talk to you about something that i 'm concerned about . sami : okay . you first . roman : i do n't like that you 're in marlena 's townhouse all alone with those two little babies . sami : well , dad , i 'm not in witness protection anymore . i mean , they found the hit man . he 's dead . right ? so i 'm okay , right ? roman : the man who hired that hit man is not dead , and i have indications -- nothing definite , but i believe it 's stefano dimera . sami : what ? it 's because of that scum bucket that i was kept away from my children , because he wanted to hire someone to off the mayor ? roman : it looks that way from where i sit , so be very careful . do n't trust stefano . do n't trust e.j . okay ? sami : yeah . absolutely , dad . you 're right . um , but you know what ? will 's home , so he 's gon na be there with me . roman : honey , will is 16 . you be alert . sami : i will . roman : okay . thanks . sami : it 's so weird . i 've had all this time with someone else looking out for me , protecting me ... risking his life for me . roman : rafe . sami : yeah . dad , that 's what i wanted to talk to you about . i need a really big favor . philip : for god 's sakes . we had 10 or 15 engineers working on that program . someone must have copied it onto a disk or photocopied the specs . stephanie : i 'm checking . all of our engineers are at that conference in chicago , so i have n't heard from anyone yet . my hope was we could isolate the worm , find out how it functioned , to have it work backwards and restore the data . philip : how 's that going ? unfortunately , after the worm destroyed the data , it destroyed itself . philip : [ sighs ] get back to work . just fine the damn copies . right . stephanie : what can i do ? philip : [ sighs ] nothing . stefano : `` i am a dimera , and you are out of your league . `` e.j . : i had a hunch you were listening . stefano : that young man was quaking in his guccis . e.j . : sweetheart . nicole : so , you found all those -- hi -- threats and insults amusing , did you ? stefano : well , you know , i mean , how -- how do you say ? `` it 's a guy thing . `` e.j . : is sydney asleep , darling ? nicole : yes . finally . so , uh , do i ever get to know why philip was so upset ? e.j . : nothing important . nicole : of course it 's important . everything you do is important to me . do n't you know that by now ? stefano : you know , lately i 've been trying to , you know , see my little granddaughter . i never get a chance to see her . she sleeps all the time . nicole : well , what is it they say ? `` it 's a newborn thing . `` e.j . : father , you 'll be happy to hear we took her for a checkup yesterday . she 's coming along wonderfully . perfectly normal . stefano : good . then , obviously , mary is doing an excellent job . nicole : meaning ? stefano : i 'm just glad that we assigned mary to the nanny chores . i mean , this way , you are free to come and go whenever you wish . e.j . : well , i mean , father , we 're both free to come and go whenever we wish . parenting is a joint exercise . stefano : by the way , talking about our lovely , little sydney , i just realized the other day that she looks amazingly like little giovanni . do n't you think ? e.j . : yes . i - i do , actually . sami : and he risked his life for me like four times that he 'll even admit to . and the killer -- he was torturing him to try to find out where i was , and rafe did n't tell him anything . when he finally showed up there , rafe was practically dying . roman : sami -- sami , hold on , okay ? you do n't have to sell rafe to me . anybody who does what he did to protect my daughter gets a medal in my book . sami : so i was thinking maybe you could talk to the isa -- you know , put in a good word for him . roman : i already put in a good word for rafe , although the isa is n't what it used to be since they formed homeland security . the fbi is still the alpha dog . sami : yeah , well , i do n't think so , if they 're gon na be so stupid as to ... roman : i know , i know , i know . he 's under review . and , yeah , he could be cut loose . sami : if that happens , dad , could you get him a job at the salem p.d . ? brady : drink up . you 'll feel better . melanie : brady , i just lost my project into a black hole . i 'm not really sure how diet soda 's gon na help me . brady : melanie , you know what ? you 'd already blown it with e.j . now with philip . your chances of making big bucks off this project were wafer thin , anyway . melanie : brady , this is the only thing i had left of my dad 's -- the only good thing he 's ever done . not to mention nick and all he wanted me to have . he trusted me not to screw this up . this is supposed to change the world . brady : you really do care , do n't you , regardless of the paycheck ? melanie : whatever . brady : you know what , melanie ? you do n't get enough credit for who you really are . anyway , i got to go . got to get to titan and see what 's going on . i will call you if i learn anything . stephanie : i know you 're worried about what your dad 's gon na say . philip : ah , let him blame me . he blames me for anything and everything . to hell with him . stephanie : any ideas ? philip : ideas ? sure . i 'm gon na fix this . stephanie : how ? philip : i 'm gon na kill e.j . dimera . stefano : thank you , elvis . nicole : i better go check on sydney . excuse me . e.j . : well , to a good day to be a dimera . stefano : a great day . salute ! mmm . so , elvis , did you notice -- i mean , uh , nicole seemed to be a little stressed . e.j . : samantha 's return bothered her . stefano : ah , i see . yeah . well , that little tête - à - tête they had -- did nicole mention it to you ? e.j . : she , uh , she said something about it . stefano : hmm . well , what is samantha up to ? i mean , what could she possibly have said to upset your fiancée like that ? e.j . : well , i do n't know anything specific , but it seems fairly obvious that this whole witness protection program has just completed wreaked havoc with her life . stefano : yes . it 's a shame she had to go into hiding . life can be so cruel . e.j . : indeed . well , aside from the fact that we share a son together , i 'm not gon na let samantha 's problems interfere with any of my happiness . i wo n't allow it . roman : sami , with that hiring freeze at the department , things do n't look promising for anybody , including rafe . plus , he 's not exactly a by - the - book kind of guy , as you know , and , unfortunately , that does n't sit well with a lot of people . sami : come on , dad . you 're the commander , right ? you have a lot of clout over there . roman : yeah . right . yeah . yeah . i am the guy who recommended that hope not be suspended for that protocol violation . they suspended her anyway . some clout . sami : but if the fbi lets him go -- i mean , if he loses his job because of me , you 're saying that there 's nothing you can do ?

[ laughs ] i guess that was a bad analogy considering the fact of what 's happened to ben . clyde : yeah . kate : how long was he supposed to be at the lawyer 's ? clyde : geez , i should 've heard by now . which i did . it was on silent . oh , lord . kate : what ? clyde : he 's in the clear . kate : really ? clyde : yeah , jennings got the da to drop the charges . wow ! ha , let 's celebrate , huh ? why do n't you grab a table ? i 'll go get us something . kate : okay , okay . hey . jordan . i just heard the good news about your brother . jordan : it 's great . and i have news that i think will make you even happier . kate : really ?

tori : thank you . rafe : and let me know if you need anything . tori : are you having fun yet ? paul : mom ... tori : something 's been bothering you all night . longer . paul : ca n't we just enjoy tonight ? tori : i enjoy it when you trust me . tell me what 's on your mind . is it the interview that you did with nbc sports ? how did that go ? paul : it went great . it 'll be showing tonight . or this weekend . look , i have a question for you . why are you so jumpy ? tori : i -- i do n't jump . paul : no , you do n't . i thought you liked seeing new places , traveling . tori : i do . then why are you so uncomfortable here in salem ? justin : that was your cheap shot . so tell me again , how long were you in hong kong ? lucas : a while . i was there a while but , you know what ? i did n't have a wife waiting for me at home . and my daughter came to see me a lot . justin : adrienne hates dubai . the last time we had a big problem in our marriage was when we were over there together . lucas : so you asked her -- you asked her to go with you and she said what ? `` i 'd rather stay here `` ? justin : you really care about her , do n't you ? lucas : she 's become a very good friend and i do n't want to see her in pain . justin : i 'll take that at face value . lucas : justin . i 'm glad we cleared things up . adrienne : i 'm sorry . i 'm -- that 's not me . will : it 's okay . it 's the least that i deserved . do n't worry about it . adrienne : i keep seeing sonny 's face the day he married you . oh , he was so happy . he -- he felt so lucky he found you . will : you did n't agree . adrienne : no . no , not at first . will , you were so young . he was the first man you 'd had a relationship with . i -- i did n't see the rush . but sonny was so sure . and you won me over . will : sonny did . adrienne : you ca n't look at your son 's face so ecstatic , so thrilled to be finally getting married . we did n't even think this was possible for him . will : it 's what sonny always wanted . he wanted to get married . period . adrienne : what ? will : when i interviewed paul , he told me everything that sonny had said to him . not the name . i really did n't know who the guy was . but i recognized the words . what he said to paul was exactly word for word what he had said to me . adrienne : what 's that supposed to mean ? will : that 's what i 'm trying to figure out , adrienne . was sonny in love with me or was he just in love with the idea of getting married ? adrienne : wow ... you truly are sami brady 's son . will : i know you do n't mean that as a compliment . adrienne : you 're looking for the way out , are n't you ? it could n't possibly be your fault that you cheated on my son . no , it had to be something he did or did n't do . you wan na lay this at his feet ! will : i never said that ! i 'm just trying to understand . adrienne : no , you want an out ! and i sure as hell am not gon na help you find one . if sonny ever decides to forgive you , you 're gon na have to find a way to live with yourself , will . will : i do n't know if i can ever do that . adrienne : oh , i do n't think you 'll have a problem with that . your mother sure as hell never did . kate : so you 're going back to poplar bluff ? jordan : new york . i 'll be running a health care community project like the one abigail and i started . it 'll be a model that we take nationwide . kate : oh . so no more scrubs ? i wonder if they know what they 're getting . well , i guess i 'll just let them find out for themselves . jordan : do you even begin to realize that what you are doing right now is exactly why you could never keep a man like rafe ? kate : and you could ? how did that work out , tammy sue ? jordan : yeah , you did good work there , kate . you should really be proud of yourself . and you 're all set now ! you have found the perfect match for yourself . kate : maybe i have . jordan : you 're gon na regret getting into bed with clyde . clyde : hey there , jordan . we 're just celebrating ben 's good news . do you care to join us ? kate : i 'm going to take a rain check because jordan has some important news to tell you and you might want to discuss it in private , so ... good luck , jordan . i hope this job is a better fit . jordan : go to hell , kate . clyde : what 's going on ? are you leaving salem ? jordan : yes i am . are you happy ? chad : i do n't want you to do anything you do n't wan na do . abigail : big of you . you know , chad , next time you wan na turn over a new leaf , maybe you should stop trying to hit on another man 's girlfriend . tori : i 'm not uncomfortable with salem . paul : then it 's me ? tori : no . son , no . paul : but ? tori : there are just so many changes coming for you and i do n't know how to help you , how to be a good mother . paul : you just be who you are ... who you always have been . hey , there 's , uh , dr. evans and john black . marlena : mmm ! john , that 's paul narita and his mother over there . john : you 're kidding me ?

when did this happen ? will : after i came back from california . lucas : did you tell sonny ? so what happened , i mean , he just found out ? i mean , obviously somebody told him . will : the night he was stabbed , he found out and he was coming to paul 's hotel room to confront us . lucas : wait a minute , paul narita ? you cheated on sonny with paul narita ? clyde : tammy sue , you know better than to threaten me . jordan : that 's not a threat , it 's a promise . clyde : if you go to your brother about that -- jordan : i do not care what you tell ben about me . clyde : you 're willing to lose him ?

marlena : yeah , that was strange , was n't it ? john : yeah . marlena : she seemed to kind of rush out when she saw us coming towards her . although in fairness , maybe she 's feeling awkward and unsure about how to deal with all the changes in paul 's life . tori : i was n't avoiding anyone . paul : do n't lie . you 're not a liar and i -- that 's something i just can not take . tori : son , you 're making up trouble when there -- paul : are you embarrassed that i 'm gay , mom ? tori : no . paul : well , is it -- is it that i did the interview ? the fact that i went public with it ? tori : son , no . paul : then what ? do you not like dr. evans ? do -- do you not like the fact that she said you should be proud of me ?

[ doorbell rings ] victor : answer that . nicole : we have servants . > ictor ; : i have servants . go get it . a little humility is good for the soul . nicole : [ groans ] this is turning out to be a glorious morning . kate : oh , and lovely to see you , too . victor : what do you want , kate ? kate : oh , i 'm glad i caught you . i thought you 'd already be out . victor : why ? kate : have n't you heard ? larry welch is going to be sentenced this afternoon . i 'm sure you 'll want to be there in person to see justice done , do n't you , nicole ? jack : ah . just the man i was looking for . i left a couple of messages for you at your office , mr . district attorney . carson : i 've had my hands full this morning , deveraux . jack : really . i 'm sure you 've been very busy cutting a deal to spare larry welch 's life . jennifer : um , we 'll -- we 'll meet you inside . listen , hope , you do not have to put yourself through this right now . hope : no , i need to be here . jennifer : what , closure ? hope : peace of mind . i want to be sure that larry gets exactly what 's coming to him . larry : hello out there ! anybody home ? you got a hungry con in here ! how about a little breakfast , a little , uh ... a little eggs benedict with a side of hash brow ? ? a little ... oh , no . > o ; : got great news for you , welchie . larry : i bet you do . b yep . today the judge is going to throw the book at your sorry butt . you know , i may have not finished her off , but i did a whole lot of damage to your , uh , wife 's psyche , you know ? she turned out to be a real whack job . aah ! bo : hey . now you know what it 's like to have your life in someone else 's hands . tony : oh . lexie : oh . tony : alexandra . lexie : hi . bad time ? tony : unfortunately , yes . i 'm on my way out . lexie : larry welch 's sentencing ? tony : yes , and i 'm running late . please do n't stop me . lexie : tony , please , what is the point ? tony : the point is , i 'm not going to wait for a justice system to punish the man for what he did to you . lexie : to me ? tony , framing me for kidnapping iacac is the least of his crimes . tony : not in my book . you do n't screw with a dimera and get away with it and not pay the ultimate price . like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . bo : you even think about anyone in my family , and i swear to god , i 'll kill you myself . roman : bo ! stop ! we 're going to get justice ! abe : bo , hope is going to be fine . you 're going to be fine . larry : [ coughing ] yeah . maybe . or maybe not . you know , your pretty little fancy face just may be a basket case for life ! `` oh , bo , help me , please . i see larry everywhere . he 's going to get me , bo . please help me . `` bo : you are one crazy son of a bitch . carson : do you have a problem with the prosecution of this case ? jack : well , it 's been more of a persecution than a prosecution . carson : my , you have such a way with words . have you ever thought about becoming a journalist ? jack : i just have a few more questions . carson : no , you don't . jack : if you prefer , i 'll go off the record . carson : i prefer never s see you again , deveraux , and i will be informing the publisher of that rag you write for that i will be canceling my subscription . jack : is that a threat or a promise ? no , really , i 'm just wondering , the reason you 've decided to go with life in prison -- is it because you could n't live with the possibility of sending an innocent man to his death ? carson : are you telling me you think larry welch is innocent ? jack : i 'm just saying that your track record with this case so far has been less than stellar . carson : why do n't you get off my back and let me do my job ? jack : if someone was n't looking over your shoulder , i 'd be the one going up the river right now . carson : you confessed . jack : to protect jennifer horton , the mother of my child who also , as it turns out , was proven innocent . then you go after shawn brady . carson : i go where the facts of the case lead me . jack : are you saying you think you 've finally got the real killer this time ? can i quote you on that ? nicole : why on earth would i care what happens to larry welch ? kate : well , i mean , considering the fact that the man gunned down colin murphy in cold blood in the middle of your wedding ... i mean , i do n't know . call me crazy , but i just thought , well , maybe you would be a little interested in the punishment he was getting . victor : tell us what you want , kate , then leave . kate : oh , no , has nicole been after you with that riding crop again ? is that why you 're in such a foul mood ? victor : get out . kate : okay . if you do n't want to hear about what philip had to say ... victor : you heard from philip ? kate : yes . he e - mailed me . he has a leave coming up . victor : i see . well , he probably e - mailed me , as well . i have n't checked yet today . is he coming home ? kate : no , actually , he 's going to go on a golf weekend with a marine buddy of his . victor : golf , huh ? kate : yeah . you know , he 's almost finished with his training , and then he 's going to be off somewhere god - knows - where in the desert . i think he deserves this little break , do n't you ? victor : semper fi . i suppose he wants me to send him his clubs . kate : well , i could send them to him or you could . victor : no , i 'll take care of it . in the future , kate , if you have any concerns about philip or anything else , use the phon kate : oh ... it is always so amusing to actually see you two , to feel the toasty warmth of this happy home . victor : out . kate : okay . see you in court . i 'm sure you wo n't want to miss the fun . nicole : she 's suspicious . why , victor ? what could she know ? victor : what 's wrong , my dear , worried you wo n't get away with murder ? ooh . shawn - d : why are you waiting for me here ? belle : i did n't want to be alone . shawn - d : this is very frustrating . belle : what is ? shawn - d : you lying here in my bed , and i ca n't do anything about it because i think i 'm coming down with a cold or something , and i do n't want to get you sick . belle : ooh , i do n't mind getting your cold . shawn - d : no . no way . i 'm not getting you sick . belle : okay , well , you can at least sit down next to me . come on , shawn . shawn - d : okay . belle : sit down . shawn - d : hey , honey , why are you shivering ? what 's wrong ? belle : i do n't know . i guess it 's just learning that cassie and rex are my mom 's kids . i 'm not adjusting to that very well . and then larry welch 's sentencing ... i just ca n't stop thinking about that night at your parents ' house . mostly , i remember you saving my life -- mine and your mom 's . but just before i passed out , i was thinking about our future , and i saw all of the things i thought we would never have -- a wedding , children , grandchildren ... shawn , what would 've happened if you had n't shown up that night ? shawn - d : hey , hey , you do n't have to think about that ever again , all right ? belle : i know , i know , you 're right , but i decided i ... i want to go to larry 's sentencing for closure and to show support for your mom and your whole family . is that okay ? shawn - d : of course . why would you think it was n't ? listen to me , hey , i want to spend as much time as i possibly can with you today , all right ? belle : just today ? shawn - d : all right . always . rhonda : next time on `` 100 huntley street `` , march breakaway . we will have a unique emphasis on youth , what they think , where they 're heading , what the future holds . no matter what age you are , you wo n't want to miss the next edition of `` 100 huntley street `` . fay : now you 've got me worried . brandon : oh , no , no , no , no . it 's something good , positive . it 's about me and samantha . fay : oh , you broke up ? brandon : broke up ? why would that be good and positive ? fay : i 'm sorry , i just thought that that 's what you -- brandon : yeah , you just thought that we broke up , and that made you really happy . why do n't you just admit it , mom ? tell me the truth . fay : i 'll tell you what . why do n't you give me your good and positive news first ? how about that ? brandon : we 've moved in together . fay : moved in together . brandon : yes . fay : okay , what about the loft ? brandon : well , it 's still there . fay : and you 're not living in it ? brandon : you catch on quick . fay : but you 're still paying rent . brandon : mom , who cares ? fay : i 'm sorry . i thought that you would . i mean , it is your money . brandon : great . i tell you something important , something that i happen to be very excited about , and you start in about money . fay : all right , i 'm sorry , i did n't know you were so rich that you did n't need to worry about it , brandon . brandon : this is great , mom . thank you for the support , all right ? it 's really heartwarming . fay : okay . yoyou want me to be honest , right ? you want me to tell the truth ? well , here it is . samantha brady is all wrong for you , brandon . i do n't trust that girl . and if you were thinking with your head instead of some other part of your anatomy , you would n't trust her , either . lexie : tony , you sound just like father when you talk like that . it makes me nervous . tony : and you make me very cross when you compare me with him . it 's getting old , lexie . lexie : okay , fine , you are nothing like him at all . i would n't even know you were related . better ? tony : well , i would n't spend an entire lifetime lying to the people i love . lexie : what are you talking about ? tony : well , you 're blessed . you 're expecting a child , and i 'm blessed , too . lexie : is this about the twins ? tony : well , i was going to wait to tell you . well , i might as well say it . yeah , i think it 's quite definite that cassie and rex are my children . i 'm quite sure of that now . lexie : tony ! oh , that 's great . tony : mine and marlena 's . lexie : yours and marlena 's ? tony : oh , do n't look shocked , please . we were never intimate . this is father 's setup . a cunning experiment to create a new generation of genetically engineered dimeras . lexie : oh , god . tony : god -- right . it was so cruel that he kept those children away from me and marlena . and they grew up in this world without the love of their family . it just boggles the mind that somebody could be that callous , but i suppose i should look on the bright side , as they say . you know , we move on . here i am , with two beautiful children who are willing to embrace me as their father ... i just want to make up for all those lost years . lexie : and i 'm sure you will . they 're very lucky to have you . tony : ha ha ha . i do n't know what kind of father i 'm going to be . oh ... i do know one thing -- i will protect my family , and that includes you . oh . oh , my god . lexie : what ? tony : i ca n't afford to be late . i 've got to take care of welch . lexie : tony , okay , i 'm going with you . wait ! larry : you better hold your tongue , bo . you would n't want to say anything that would make me change my mind about my plea , would you ? i mean , after all , without my confession , your , uh , precious son loses his `` get out of jail free `` card . bo : give it a rest . you cut a deal with the d.a . to avoid going to death row , where you belong . abe : let 's get down to the courtroom . roman : yeah , let 's get this over with . let 's get this clown out of our lives for good . larry : do n't bet on it . victor : relax , nicole . no one but you and i will ever know that you 're a murderess . though i doubt that anybody is going to be terribly surprised . nicole : what happens if your plan does n't work ? victor : if larry does n't plead guilty , he 'll be killed in prison while he 's doing time for kidnapping hope . but just to be sure , you and i are going to go to the hearing . nicole : i do n't want to go . victor : oh , that 's right . i forgot . you were going to go riding . you see , it 's not a very good idea for you to make plans without consulting me first . but you forgot , so i 'll remind you . you will do as i say today and for the rest of our lives together . jennifer : i 'm going to stay . the babysitter can stay with abby a few more hours . hope : no , no , no , n n no . you said she has to study , so you go ahead and relieve her . i 'll be fine . jennifer : i know that you 'll be fine . that 's not what i 'm worried about . just call me as soon as it 's over , okay ?

jack : huh ? abby : maybe i can teach him some tricks like roll over and play dead . jennifer : baby , please . jack : the dead part has a certain appeal . jennifer : [ gasps ] abby : look at him . he eats everything ! jennifer : yeah , well , let 's keep him from eating the furniture , shall we ? jack , do something . abby : i 'll get him some peanut butter . i bet he likes that . jack : huh ? wait , wait , wait . jack : jennifer , what are we going to do with that thing ? jennifer : i do n't know . but my dad in his letter said that there were more surprises to come -- one for each of us . alice : i do . judge fitzpatrick : would you state your name for the record ? alice : alice horton , speaking on behalf of the brady family and the horton family . the bradys are the family of the deceased -- colin murphy . and the hortons , especially my granddaughter hope , has been harassed and tormented by mr . welch . you are a very bad man . first you kidnapped hope and my great- grandson , causing all of us to believe they were dead . and if that was n't enough , you terrorized hope and almost killed her , and belle black and me . if you ask me , prison is too good for this man . but at least he 'd never be able to hurt the good people of salem again . i urge you , your honor , to lock up larry welch and throw away the key . brandon : i 'm sorry . i - i should n't have said that . fay : no , that 's all right . i 'm glad you did . i suspected it anyway . you 're attracted to sami brady because she 's got none of the qualities that you 've always hated in me . brandon : there 's nothing about you i hate , mom . fay : you think i 'm weak . brandon : you 've had a difficult life . fay : because i 'm weak , because i have n't had the guts to fight for what i wanted . i know that 's how you see it . brandon : you fell in love with a bad man , all right ? he conned you into thinking that he could make you happy . it -- it was n't your fault . fay : i was naive ... and i had very little life experience and not much self- esteem , obviously . so what 's your excuse , brandon ? brandon : what are you talking about ? fay : you 're a counselor , sweetheart . you know all sorts of things about psychology and about neurotic behavior , so why ca n't you see what 's going on between you and this girl ? brandon : her name is samantha . damn it , mom . fay : brandon , why ca n't you see past the big boobs and the great legs , and whatever it is that has you in some sort of lovesick daze , and realize that this girl is going to make you miserable ? abby : horace is n't tired . he wants to play . jack : look , binturongs need naps , just like little girls do . now , you go upstairs right now and wash your hands . abby : fine , but can we take horace for a walk later ? jack : w -- uh , we 'll see . abby : okay . jack : mm - hmm . jennifer : uh , yes , i - i will let him know . thank you . goodbye . jack : you know , i do n't know what the african sun did to your father , but what was he thinking to send our little girl a - a ... jennifer : a binturong , jack . jack : a creature ! jennifer : creature , whatever . what did you say to carson palmer earlier ? jack : i do n't know . i just thought it would do the blowhard some good to knock him down a peg or two . why ? jennifer : because a spokesperson from the district attorney 's office called the spectator , warning us to not print any content of the interview that you did earlier today . jack : what ? jennifer : yeah . you struck a nerve , jack . jack : what , is he afraid that we 're going to print the truth about him ? judge fitzpatrick : if any other members of the victim 's family would like to speak , now is your opportunity to take the stand . shawn - d : hey , maggie just took gran home . she wants us to call her as soon as the judgment comes down . carson : in that case , your honor -- he : wait . i 've got something to say . bailiff : y you solemnly swear to tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth , so help you god ?

'cause how else would she have known that he knew ? bo : that is the $ 65,000 question . shawn - d : yeah , but , dad , think about it -- why would he have accused her all by himself ? because he had to have known that he was taking his life in his own hands . bo : well , apparently , she 's someone that he knew very well , he never thought would hurt him . shawn - d : yeah , yeah , someone like , uh ... bo : someone like ... if you 've got a theory , speak up . shawn - d : well , no , i - i did , i did , but belle convinced me that i was way off base . what i was thinking , dad -- tek : bo , bo , looks like we got something . bo : what is it ? tek : the coroner found evidence of fresh dirt and sod underneath doug 's fingernails . julie : who did this to you , darling ? what heartless monster could kill such a ... dear and loving man ?
