daniel : no , no , no , no . i 'm ... fine . fine , yeah . kate : this is a nice surprise . what are you doing out here ? daniel : just , uh , taking a walk . kate : yeah , me too . i do n't know . walking on the pier just kind of helps clear the mind , you know ? daniel : oh , yeah . yeah . everything okay ? kate : yeah . i mean ... this is going to sound silly , but , um , i had a really horrible thought last night . actually , it was more like a -- like a premonition . daniel : what was it ? kate : i could n't shake the feeling that someone had reason to stop chloe and lucas ' wedding . max : hey , chelse , it 's me -- max . um , i was wondering if you wanted to come down here , uh , to the cheatin ' heart , that is -- finest watering hole in salem . um [ clears throat ] anyway , um , yeah , i was wondering if you wanted to come down here , you know , before we open , before everybody gets down here , you know , 'cause i want to see you pretty bad . okay . yeah , that was smooth . it was great . stephanie : are you sure no one 's home ? chelsea : well , my dad 's at work and hope did n't answer the phone , but just to be sure ... hope ? dad ? coast is clear . i 'm gon na run down to the basement -- stephanie : chelsea , wait a second . i know you told me that bo and hope were too hovering and they 're all in your business or whatever , but to suddenly just move out ? or maybe you have n't told me the real reason . chelsea : um ... max and i were together the other night , and he spent the night in my room , and we did n't know that my dad and hope were home , and we came downstairs the next morning . we ran into my dad . he was upset ... because he thought that ... stephanie : that you and max had slept together ? chelsea : yeah . stephanie : was he right ? sami : rafe ? rafe : hey , sami . sami : you 're back . rafe : uh , yeah , i am . yes . sami : how come you did n't call me ? you did n't let me know you were here . rafe : can we not do this right now ? sami : what is going on ? we 're friends , right ? and friends check in with each other . am i missing something ? rafe : no , it 's -- it 's complicated . sami : in what way ? rafe : look , i 've got to go . sami : what ? you 're gon na leave me standing here with `` it 's complicated `` ? rafe : look , we 'll talk later , okay ? sami : i do n't want to talk later , rafe . i want to talk right now . oh , god . it 's the fbi , is n't it ? they fired you . your career 's over because of me . chloe : you 're peeking . lucas : my eyes are completely closed . chloe : it 's too late anyway . it 's already ruined . you 've seen me in my wedding dress . lucas : i did n't know you were superstitious . chloe : keep your eyes closed . lucas : listen , i think that that whole `` it 's bad luck for the groom to see the bride in the wedding dress `` -- that 's usually for the day of the wedding , so we 're cool . chloe : how should i know , okay ? i 'm just trying to take some precautions , all right ? is that so hard to understand ? lucas : boy , you 're in a great mood today , are n't you ? chloe : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to come down on you like that . it 's just that i do n't want us to take any chances , okay ? you 're right . i 'm not usually superstitious , but ... lucas : but what ? why now ? chloe : it -- it 's just really important to me that our wedding is perfect . lucas : all right . i get that , okay ? and it will be . you just got to ... stop your worrying . chloe : i 'll try . lucas : this is a huge deal for me , too . i 'm so happy that we 're back together . i 'm so happy we 're getting married . it means more to me than you 'll ever know . you mean more to me than you 'll ever know . nice . mmm , tasty lipstick . hey , there it is right there . chloe : what ? lucas : damn credit card . thought i lost it . chloe : oh . lucas : so , i guess i should , uh , hit the road now . chloe : where are you going ? lucas : i have to see sami . chloe : what ? why ? lucas : i just have to . come on , chloe . do n't -- chloe : no , you `` come on . `` what , do you expect me to be happy about it ? lucas : i need to see her , all right ? will 's back in town . we have a lot to discuss . chloe : yeah , i 'm sure you have a lot to discuss , like what a horrible person i am to even be seen with . lucas : do n't say that . why are you being so paranoid right now ? chloe : i 'm not an idiot . i know what sami 's been saying . oh , she 's probably bad - mouthing me , whispering in your ear , fanning the flames . what is she telling you , that marrying me would be the biggest mistake of your life ? i 'm sure she said that . lucas : yeah , she did say that , but it does n't matter because i do n't listen to her , all right ? she does n't influence me . listen . now look at me . you are the one i love . you 're the woman i want to be with , all right ? i can not wait to call you my wife . chloe : i ca n't wait to be your wife . and i do n't give a damn what anyone says or how they feel about us . lucas : good . i love to hear that . that 's my girl . chloe : no one is gon na stop me from marrying you , lucas . no one . daniel : well , um , it was obvious . i mean , it 's obviously just a ... kate : what ? please tell me . please give me a theory of why i feel so -- why i have this bad feeling about the wedding . daniel : well , it 's not a theory , really . i 'm just guessing that your son is getting married and it 's natural to be anxious . that 's all . kate : kind of like mother - of - the - groom jitters . daniel : there you go . kate : yeah , you 're probably right . i mean , there 's probably no reason to even think about it . it 's just -- daniel : no . no , there is n't . kate : what if it 's true , though ? i mean , what if there is a reason to stop the wedding ? daniel : why ? why would there be ? why ? kate : you know , look at the facts . i mean , chloe already broke it off once , and , i mean , i never really understood what the reasons were , but of course that is beside the point , is n't it ? daniel : is n't it what ? kate : well , i mean , what if it is n't beside the point ? i mean , chloe -- chloe went back with lucas after he fell off the wagon and after he was almost killed in that explosion , and of course i know that she had absolutely nothing to do with either of those two things , but -- daniel : okay , what -- what -- just what are you trying to say ? kate : what i think is that chloe took lucas back out of guilt . guilt about what , i do n't know . daniel : you know , kate , you need to focus on the positive . lucas and chloe , they 're getting married . that 's what they both want . let it go . kate : yeah , i know . you 're probably right . that is what they both want , i 'm sure . but on the other hand , i mean , if there is someone out there who knows a reason why they should n't get married , i mean , if they know something about chloe or something about lucas that makes it all wrong , then i would hope they would have the guts to come forward and -- and tell . daniel : yeah , well , you know , i got to get back to the hospital . kate : sure , sure . go . i - i 'm sorry . you know , it 's probably nothing . it helped talking to you , though . it really did . daniel : yeah . yeah , well , any time . kate : thanks . chelsea : god , i hate this . stephanie : what ? chelsea : it 's weird . it 's awkward . stephanie : chelsea , i told you before , i just want you to be happy . max too . chelsea : so , what 's going on with philip ? we did n't get to talk about it yesterday . stephanie : uh , it 's all screwed up . chelsea : what happened ? stephanie : well , as you know , i 've almost pulled the plug on it a few times . but then yesterday , i found myself kissing him and wanting to be with him . chelsea : and what 's the problem with that ? stephanie : it just -- it worries me because i can have such intense feelings for him at the same time that i have so many doubts . i do n't know , chelse . i 'm conflicted when i 'm not with him , and then when he is there and i look into his eyes and he smiles at me ... [ sighs ] i know this sounds extreme , and i 'm embarrassed to say it , but ... chelsea : but what ? stephanie : i can really see myself with him for the rest of my life . philip kiriakis of all people . how did this happen ? chelsea : you fell in love . stephanie : oh , my god . just hearing you say that is scary . chelsea : why do you say that ? stephanie : because i 'm so screwed up . i go from `` i want nothing to do with him `` mode to what i want more than anything is to be with him , not just now . forever . chelsea : you mean like ... stephanie : marriage , a house , kids , all of it . rafe : okay , you 're right . it is all your fault , sami , okay ? sami : well , it is , is n't it ? rafe : yeah , definitely . along with global warming and the recession we 're in right now . sami : all right , do n't joke . this is serious . i mean , i 'm the one who pulled all those tricks and i - i got you to lie for me . rafe : yeah , well , so what ? i 'm a big boy . i made my own decisions , okay ? sami : i did n't know you were gon na lose your job . they 're such bastards . i ca n't believe -- they do n't know about -- rafe : no , they do n't know about grace . sami : i mean , i 'm not just thinking about me , but -- and the baby , but i mean , if they were to find out -- rafe : do n't worry . sami : if they were to find out , you could be in real trouble , could n't you ? i mean , they could file charges or something . why are n't you answering me ? why are you looking at me like that ? rafe : just thinking . if i had to do it all over again , i would ... in a heartbeat . rafe : right , so ... i ... why do n't i get us something to eat ? sami : [ chuckles ] i , um -- i 'm not hungry . rafe : coffee ? sami : sure . rafe : i 'll be right back . sami : abe , i 'm so glad you answered the phone . it 's sami . i think you 're my last hope . daniel : wow . i have n't done this since i was a little kid . i mean , my mom used to make us pray ... at night . i guess it 's because as i 've gotten older , i just felt that with all the problems in the world -- pain , the suffering , tragedy -- well , my problems , they were n't really , uh , deserving of your attention . so , uh , i do n't know . um , i 'm just looking for ... something . i 'm not asking , you know , for anything at all . i just -- maybe i want some -- i do n't know , just a little clarity . that 's all i 'm looking for . just ... chloe -- this -- this woman , uh , i love . she 's -- she 's getting married to someone else . and i 've come to terms with that , and i 've decided to back away , let her do what she thinks is right . actually , i had to force myself to -- what 's that word ? -- respect her choice . but -- but -- but i just heard something , something that reminded me that this is all a lie , by the way . she is with lucas out of guilt , not because she loves him . yeah , so how is that right ? and now i 'm just supposed to sit here in silence ? well , it is deafening . and it 's hard , and i 'm trying , and i 'm supposed to condone this lie like i 'm complicit in this -- this -- this self - deception . and not to mention that to take that girl away from me , the thought of her and ... mm . look , chloe , uh , talked to me about , uh , being given a sign from god , and i scoffed at that . i was sure that this sign that she thought she got was , uh -- was something she created in her own mind out of the guilt and the -- and the pain . yet here i am . i 'm a wreck . and just [ sighs ] i do n't know . maybe i 'm just looking for a -- a sign myself . [ knock on door ] max : okay . [ chuckles ] be cool , be yourself , be calm . [ sighs ] shake it off , shake it off . shake it off . [ clears throat ] hey , beau ... tiful . will : uh , i guess you were expecting someone else . max : no , i was , uh , truly thinking you 're beautiful , will . will : tell me something i do n't know . max : right . so , what the hell ? what 's goin -- what 's going on with you ? it takes you two days to come down here and say hi to me ? will : i 'm sorry , man . you were way down on the list . max : get over here . come on . it 's good seeing you , man . will : so , what 's the deal , man ? who 's the beautiful girl you were hoping was me ? max : like i 'm gon na tell you . will : [ scoffs ] fine , not like i care anyway . max : [ chuckles ] man , it 's good to see you . so , what ? everything cool ? what 's new with you , huh ? tell me -- tell me stories of the front . will : um , no stories . max : come on . you 've been gone that long and you have no stories , nothing ? will : uh , well , nothing you do n't already know . max : about your dad , yeah . i kind of heard about that . and your mom , you know , she got out of the witness - protection program . i mean , that 's great , right ? will : yeah . max : what , `` yeah `` ? you 're not gon na have any enthusiasm here ? that 's great . will : no , man . i 'm happy my mom 's out of witness protection . it 's just a little weird , is all . max : how so ? will : well , my dad 's all set to get married . max : yeah , right . to chloe lane , yeah , yeah . will : and my mom 's just zoned out all the time . i 'm not sure why . max : well , it could be the three months she was away in witness protection . i mean , it -- sometimes it 's hard to get over that kind of thing , you know ? will : maybe that 's it . max : okay , well , aside from the weirdness , must be really great to see your little brother and sister , hmm ? will : yeah , totally . i mean , it 's -- it 's unreal how much they 've changed . max : oh , man , kids . man , i tell you , they 're a trip , are n't they ? i mean , you know , the way they see the world and the curiosity they have for things . will : it 's crazy , right ? [ chuckles ] max : i - i ca n't wait to be a father someday , man . chloe : [ sobbing ] god , please . do n't punish lucas , okay ? please , if you bring him back to life , i promise i will be the wife that he needs , the mother that allie needs , and i swear -- i swear i 'll give up daniel . i 'll do whatever you want if you just bring him back to life , please . chloe : no more . i ca n't keep doing this anymore . kate : problem ? sami : abe , come on . you 're the mayor , right ? i mean , if it came down to finding someone who is just truly incredible , giving them a job on the police force would be -- he 's the guy who was looking after me when i was in the witness - protection program . abe , i 'm telling you , he -- he 's overqualified . he -- he 's superdedicated . he 's the most hardworking person i 've ever met . his name is rafe hernandez , and i 'm telling you , if you got him a job , it would -- rafe : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? sami : i was just trying to help . rafe : by calling the mayor ? are you nuts ? sami : you do n't understand . rafe : stop talking . mayor carver , rafe hernandez . [ chuckles ] oh , i 'm great , sir . thank you . you ? good . uh , listen , there seems to have been a bit of a misunderstanding . now , miss brady here , she means well , but , uh , well , i think we 'll all be better off if we just forget she ever called you . sorry to have wasted your time , sir . thank you . sami : oh , great . now you hung up on the mayor . rafe : i did not hang up on the mayor . sami : you did n't say goodbye . rafe : okay , should i call him back ? sami : why are you being like this ? rafe : why are you trying to take charge of my life ? sami : i was just trying to help fix things . rafe : okay , well , i do n't want you to fix things , okay ? get it ? because aside from the fact that i want to handle this myself , fixing things is not your strong suit . sami : thanks a lot , agent insulting . rafe : what , and you think the answer is cold - calling the mayor to beg him to give me a job ? sami : what you do n't understand is he is a close , personal friend of my family . rafe : sami , that 's not the point . sami : okay , all right . you do n't want my help . that must mean you have some wonderful plan to fix this . rafe : it 's none of your damn business . sami : which means you do n't . rafe : i 'll figure it out , okay ? sami : how ? how ? by drifting through until you figure something out ? what , are you hoping it will come to you by osmosis ? rafe : well , why are you so concerned ? sami : because . you 're my friend . and i do n't want you just to have to leave salem . i mean , you could stay here . you could have a great life here . you could ... rafe : what ? sami : i just do n't want you to talk out of my life again . will : she 's late , huh ? max : what ? will : the beautiful girl you thought was me ? max : sh -- she 's not late . i do n't even know if she 's coming down here or not . will : okay , that 's why you keep looking at your watch every 10 seconds ? max : whatever . will : anyway , i 'm , uh -- i 'm gon na get going . it was nice seeing you , man . max : all right , man . you too . will : talk to you later . max : all right , man . here , i 'll take that . chelse . where are you ? call me . chloe : `` problem `` ? no , there 's not a problem . everything 's fine . kate : are you sure ? chloe : yeah , in fact , i just had my biannual checkup , and i got the all clear . kate : that is such good news . oh , my god . i am so relieved . chloe : so , what brings you down to the hospital ? kate : oh , i 'm here for a checkup as well . and i 'm pretty certain i 'm going to get a clean bill of health , thanks to you . chloe : i 'm just -- i 'm really glad that you 're happy and you 're healthy . kate : yeah , i feel the same way about you . you know , getting to know you these past few months , your honesty and your -- your selflessness has -- well , it 's really been a joy . i have to say . i mean , you give me life . you 're giving my son a perfect marriage . chloe : oh , i - i 'm gon na try with all my heart . kate : we do n't deserve you . we really do n't . chloe : [ chuckles ] well , i really should get going . kate : oh , go ahead . do n't let me keep you . but , chloe , there 's one more thing . um , when are we going to get that dress ? chloe : oh . oh , yeah , about that . i - i changed my mind . i just -- i decided to stick with the original dress that i picked . kate : oh , okay . all right . chloe : are you upset ? kate : no . me upset ? no . no , not at all . i just thought that we could go shopping together , maybe find a more suitable dress , bond a little , but do n't you worry about it . chloe : oh , i 'm sorry . if i 'd known it meant so much to you -- kate : no , stop . no guilt , chloe . no guilt . we 'll have plenty of time to get together . there are going to be a lot of exciting events around the wedding . believe me , we 're going to have quality time . chloe : i hope so . kate : i know so . chloe : great , well , i 'll talk to you later ? kate : okay . chloe : okay . kate : we 're going to be doing a lot later , chloe . because i 've just gotten started with you . and daniel . chelsea : hey . daniel : hey . were you just here a couple of minutes ago or ... chelsea : no , i just -- i just got here . i wanted to come to the chapel to collect my thoughts . daniel : well , good luck . i was sort of trying to do that . chelsea : um , i just kind of had a really rough day , and i was hit with something that i thought that i was over , and , apparently , i 'm not . and now i maybe think that there 's a way to fix everything . and you could help me do that . max : hope she likes it . of course she 'll like it . why would n't she like it ? who am i talking to ? oh , where are you ? why have n't you called ? daniel : uh ... okay . chelsea : if there 's anything that i took away from our time together , it 's what a great doctor you are . i mean , you saved my life . you saved my dad 's life . you saved my grandmother 's life . y - you save everybody 's life . and everybody talks about what a brilliant doctor you are . and i know that you hate hearing that because it embarrasses you , and it should n't , but i just , um -- i do n't need you to say anything right now or act all modest . i just need you to listen . daniel : sure . chelsea : the , um -- the damage that i suffered after i had the surgery and got the infection ... was n't able to have kids anymore , i know that that 's supposed to be permanent , but i mean , you hear stories all the time about these women that are told never and then ... somebody helps them , and miraculously -- and i was just -- i was just hoping that maybe there was something -- anything at all -- that you could do to help me so that i could have a kid someday . and i can tell by the way that you 're looking at me that the answer is no . daniel : no . i ca n't . i 'm sorry . chelsea : it 's not even worth a shot ? daniel : i wo -- i would do anything for you . i would run test after test . i would refer you to anyone -- anyone -- if i thought that it could do more than i 've done for you , but there 's nobody . there 's nothing . chelsea : you wo n't do it because you know that it is a waste of time and money . and i just need to accept reality . daniel : chelsea , i 'm sorry . chelsea : i do n't need you to apologize to me , okay ? i do n't want your pity or anybody else 's . daniel : i 'm not -- chelsea : i just want you to not give up on me . i mean , would it kill you to give me some kind of hope , even if it 's false hope ? why should i have to just sit here and accept reality when that reality is me getting something that i want so bad and i might never ... just forget it . forget i -- forget i asked . rafe : sami . i 'm not just gon na walk out of your life , okay ? sami : but if you do n't live here , then i 'll never see you , and -- rafe : sami , i really need to go now . sami : okay . rafe : okay ? this can wait , all right ? i will call you soon . sami : okay . rafe : okay ? sami : mm - hmm . rafe : okay . [ door opens ] lucas : you okay ? sami : yeah . yeah , i 'm perfect . great . lucas : who was that ? sami : [ clears throat ] just a friend . lucas : oh , yeah ? was that him ? was that the famous fbi guy ? the one who was protecting you and guarding your body ? sami : [ chuckles ] yeah . [ clears throat ] that 's him . lucas : so , he was there for your pregnancy , too . i bet he knows exactly how you lost the baby . sami : how do you do it ? how do you always know the exact wrong thing to say to me that just gets me more upset ? lucas : i 'm sorry , all right ? sami : just go away . lucas : i 'm -- i am . i 'm sorry . it was insensitive . i did n't mean to bring up your baby . sami : it 's too late now . lucas : i know it 's too late , but i 'm just saying i 'm sorry . sami : okay , well , i 'm not forgiving you . i do n't want to talk about my baby with you . not now , not ever . lucas : all right , all right . fine , i understand . sami : you know what ? for the record , rafe is a really great guy , and he 's sensitive , and he does n't put his foot in this mouth 90 times a day . sami : i do n't want to talk -- i want to talk about how you are still planning on marrying that ghoul girl . lucas : do n't call her that . sami : oh , opera bitch . maybe that 's better ? lucas : no , it 's not better , and this has nothing to do with will . sami : oh , i think it does . because i think if you 're actually gon na force yourself to marry that lying little -- lucas : what ? i 'm warning you . sami : i do n't think it 's good for will . i do n't think it 's good for allie . i do n't think it 's good for you or anyone , for that matter . lucas : you know what ? i do n't think you know what you 're talking about . you just like picking on chloe , do n't you ? sami : i 'm just speaking the truth . lucas : oh , yeah ? well , i do n't want to hear it anymore . i 'm done with this . sami : so am i . lucas : oh , okay , fine . chloe : i ca n't do this . it 's impossible . there 's no way i 'm gon na be able to wait until ... the wedding . wait . that 's it . oh , my god . daniel : right . oh . it goes against everything that i believed . i do n't make those kind of -- kind of judgments . there are no absolutes . what gives you peace of mind ? help someone else have peace of mind . so maybe i ca n't help chelsea , but i can help chloe . you know , she ... thought you were guiding her ... that you had spoken to her . she felt it in her heart . so ... she made a promise to you . i just have to let her keep that promise . chelsea : hey . i 'm sorry . max : hey , do n't -- do n't worry about apologizing . it 's fine . chelsea : but -- max : i mean it . save it . do n't worry about it . i 've been standing here all day , you know , checking my watch like i 'm at a track meet . it 's no big deal . chelsea : you 're upset . you have every right to be . max : i 'm not upset . i was just worried about you . you know , i was wondering where you were . chelsea : yeah , i should have called you . um , i 'm sorry . max : you 're upset . chelsea : yeah . max : does it have to do with bo and hope ? i mean , i know they are n't really happy with us right now . chelsea : no , that 's not it . max : okay , well , before you tell me , maybe this -- maybe this will cheer you up . i - i - i got you something . chelsea : max . max : open it . chelsea : i ca n't . max : why not ? chelsea : because we have to end this before it goes too far . max : `` end it . `` i - i , uh -- i do n't get it . chelsea : it 's just better this way . that 's all you need to know . max : see , i thought -- i thought -- i thought you were happy about all this . i mean , like , you know , i was happy , too , and it made sense , and it felt great , and ... i do n't -- i do n't know what -- chelsea : there 's just -- there 's more to being together than just the physical stuff . you know , there 's other things . max : like i do n't know that . i mean , you know , there 's friendship and there 's respect for each other and there 's laughing together . i mean , we have all of that . chelsea : yeah , we do . but there 's just , um -- there 's something else further down the line that i know would be very important to you , and i ... i ca n't deprive you of that . i wo n't , so ... you 're a really , really great person , and ... i love you , but ... that 's why i 'm doing this . sami : no messages . great . great . all i did was try to help rafe make his life better , and ... and i blew it , as usual . way to go , sami . way to screw things up ... again . can i help you ? rafe : yeah , i 'm here to see roman brady . may i ask what for ? rafe : well , i 'm hoping maybe he 'll give me a job . kate : well , we have to stop bumping into each other like this . daniel : kate . kate : are you sure you 're not following me ? daniel : well , i could ask you the same question . kate : ah . you know , i hope i did n't sound too crazy this morning . if i 'm worrying too much , will you please tell me ? daniel : no , no , not at all . like i said , it is normal to worry about your son 's wedding . it is his future . and you would n't be doing your job if you did n't worry . kate : well put . daniel : but you should n't . kate : should n't what ? daniel : worry . kate : no . daniel : no , not at all . kate : you seem so sure . daniel : i am . because i know in my heart that chloe and lucas are going to have a good life together . this wedding , it is gon na be the best thing for everyone . excuse me . chloe : hey . lucas : i was just about to call you . mm , thank you . wow , what was that for ?

ej : look ... i may not be a big fan of your boyfriend , but , um ... i certainly did n't want to cause you any pain . the only thing that mattered was getting sydney home . and all that matters now is that we -- we have her . sami : well , you 're right about that . look , ej , i probably should n't have said that . ej : well , you know , if you insist on feeling guilty ... maybe there is something you can do to make it up for me . sami : oh , really ? what would that be ? ej : i 'd like to stay the night with you .

[ scene_break ] melanie : you never gave him that letter . so you lied to me , and you lied to nathan . stephanie : am i supposed to say i 'm sorry ? melanie : so you admit it . stephanie : of course i could see you getting upset -- one who 's never done anything underhanded to get what she wanted . melanie : yeah , i 've never pretended to be miss holier - than - thou . stephanie : that would be really hard to do when you 're writing love letters to your boyfriend while your fiancé 's waiting for you at the altar . melanie : proving that you read the letter . stephanie : proving that you 're a -- well , we all know what you are . melanie : i 'd be really careful if i were you . you did n't give nathan that letter because you would do anything to get him in bed with you . stephanie : and if you had a brain in your head , you 'd thank me . [ scene_break ] rafe : you mind answering my question ? what the hell 's going on here ? ej : look , i 'm sorry , rafe . i think you took what i said the wrong way . rafe : oh , there 's a right way ? ej : it did n't come out exactly the way as i intended . look , i just ... i really would like to be with my children . rafe : she 's supposed to get that from `` i want to stay the night with you `` ? ej : look , i know it 's asking a lot . and we 've been through a lot , all of us . i want to watch my children go to sleep . and i 'd like to watch them wake up in the morning . and i want to know that i can walk into sydney 's room and i can see her breathing . samantha , please , you know what i 'm talking about . sami : yeah , but i mean , you want to ... stay at my place ? ej : please . i - i just -- i just need to know that this nightmare is over , that i have my little girl back . rafe : because you want to ... stay the night with your kids . ej : [ sighs ] no , i suppose i was being a little disingenuous . i 'd also like to be with samantha . sami : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] arianna : i - i - i ... uh ... i think -- well , i 'm -- i - i - i feel -- brady : you know what , i know you feel -- you feel like you do n't want to marry me , and that 's cool . that 's fine . no , it 's really fine .

[ scene_break ] melanie : what ? stephanie : melanie , i 've thought about this whole thing , all the back and forth , melanie and philip , melanie and nathan , melanie and philip ... you know what ? i do n't think you were torn between them . i think you loved every second of it -- you know why ? because you had one pinned down and the other one on a string , that way it always ended up all about melanie . melanie : yikes . you really do hate me . stephanie : let 's just say i 'm not going to lose any sleep over what you think about me . [ scene_break ] mia : hi . will : hi . mia : what was that all about ? will : that was me being the happiest i 've ever been . we have sydney back . yeah , she 's alive . she 's fine . mia : what ? oh , my god , that 's amazing ! will : um , you should have seen my mom 's face when she saw that baby again . mia : aw , i 'm so happy for you . will : i just had to , you know , tell you in person . because you have gone through so much of this with us . mia : thank you . will : no , thank you . i mean , when i saw sydney for the first time ... i thought , i have to tell mia . and , um , that means -- i think , you know , i think that means that you are the most important person in the world to me . [ scene_break ] ej : samantha , because you know what i 'm going through . and i do n't think anybody knows better than i do what you 're going through . rafe : ah ... so now you 're going to take care of her ? sami : hey , ej , maybe you could just give us a second to talk , please ? ej : of course . rafe : now would be as good a time as any for agent clark to take your statement . there is just so much that happened we know nothing about . ej : well , we do know that my daughter is alive and well , mr. hernandez ... unlike that time when you had all the information and you could n't find her . sami : okay , you know what , ej , i think we should all try to let that go . ej : i do n't know if that 's possible . rafe : [ chuckles ] [ mutters ] sami : so obviously i did n't want to say anything to him until we talked first . rafe : mm - hmm . sami : are you planning on coming home with us , and ... and sharing tonight with me and the kids ? rafe : there 's nothing in the world i would want more . sami : i want that too . and i want it to just be you and me , i do . oh , come on , you heard him . he 's hurting too , and it 's his daughter , and ... and i want to start this over with him , you know ? with sydney . and i do n't think i have a choice . i think we have to include him . and i just want to make sure that 's okay with you . [ scene_break ] brady : [ sighs ] arianna : hi . brady : hi . hi . arianna : hi . did you get it all figured out there ? brady : oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . good call . good call . very productive phone call , so ... arianna : good . brady : yeah . damn it , this is n't working , is it ? i 'm trying to pretend that what happened did n't happen . and it 's not working , and i ca n't hide it . i 'm not good at it . arianna : well , obviously i 'm not really ... good at saying how i feel , so i 'm just going to show you . [ scene_break ] maggie : well , as is so often the case with grandmas , i have decided to state the obvious . melanie is married . nathan : yeah , i know that . maggie : well , pining for someone who 's in love with someone else is a long- term , time - released pain . nathan : yes . but i 'm not quite convinced that she loves philip . maggie : you have no reason to think that . nathan : but i do . she wrote me a letter . [ scene_break ] stephanie : see , when i 'm talking to someone who not too many months ago was in a hotel room doing my fiancé , i do n't care if she thinks i 'm being honest . melanie : you and philip were n't together then . stephanie : we were on a break , melanie . you think he was fair game because of that ? my god , if that 's the way you operate , then you do n't have half a leg to stand on when it comes to judging me and nathan . you were married ! melanie : nathan had a right to know how i felt . stephanie : so did philip ! you do n't write nathan a letter . you tell philip you ca n't go through with the marriage . that 's what you do if you have any class . but you do n't , do you ? [ scene_break ] agent clark : so you had a series of exchanges with the kidnapper ? ej : yes , that 's right . it started when we got a couple of letters , the second one of which instructed us to go to a web site , and when we went there we found a video of sydney ... and there was a ransom message that kind of scrolled across the screen . rafe : you showed that video to sami ? ej : um , yeah . yeah , i did . agent clark : so you decided to keep this information for yourself ? ej : well , i mean , we felt -- i mean , under the circumstances , that it seemed to be for the best . agent clark : and that was this afternoon ? ej : correct . agent clark : and when did you hear from the kidnapper next ? ej : um , the next time they -- the next time they called was ... well , they called to tell me that it was a hoax . agent clark : and what did you do ? rafe : you called sami , right ? ej : yes . mm - hmm . rafe : so you told sami that sydney was dead . ej : yes . yes , i did . rafe : so that 's when you called this evening ? ej : correct . rafe : and when did you find out that that call was misleading ? that sydney was still alive ? ej : it was about a couple of hours later . they ... they called and they said that this was our last chance , that it was imperative we did not involve the authorities . rafe : right . did n't it make you wonder ? ej : wonder what ? rafe : well , when they called and said it was a hoax , you know , that sydney was dead ... oh ... did n't it make you wonder why they would do that ? why they would lie ? ej : uh ... [ quietly ] i mean , i ... i suppose maybe it was intended to make us feel vulnerable ? i do n't know . rafe : hm . ej : hm . what does that mean ? rafe : oh , just that i think that call is very interesting . in fact , i think when we figure out what was going on at that moment , it will lead us to whoever it is that 's behind this . [ scene_break ] brady : mm . wait , wait , wait , whoa , whoa . what was that ? what was that ? arianna : i think it 's pretty clear . brady : really ? arianna : yeah . just because i 'm not ready to marry you does n't mean i do n't want to be with you . brady : or maybe that was my consolation prize ? [ scene_break ] melanie : everyone thinks you 're just so nice and sweet . but that 's not true at all , is it ? stephanie : i think what bothers you is the fact that i 'm not a moron and i can see right through you . melanie : at least i 'm honest about what i am . stephanie : honest ? [ scoffs ] melanie , you 're the one who 's married to a guy who has no idea that , on your wedding day , you were thinking about someone else . but if what you want is honesty , i have a plan . how about i make a copy of that letter , give one to nathan , and then one to philip , and then we 'll see how it all falls down ? melanie : you ca n't . i do n't want to hurt philip . stephanie : why , is there a prenup ? melanie : you are such a bitch . stephanie : okay ... let 's think about this . i could blow your marriage out of the water . so you might want to think about what you say to me , because i 'm the last person you want on your bad side . [ scene_break ] maggie : what did ... this letter say ? nathan : see , that i do n't know , because i did n't read it . maggie : oh . so you got this letter , you did n't read it , but you think melanie is in love with you ? nathan : [ chuckles ] all right , she seemed really upset that i did not read this letter . and -- and i think she must 've written it right before the wedding , because i saw her the night before and i spoke with her . [ sighs ] i think she 's reaching out to me . maggie : i watched her marry philip . she made her choice ! nathan : i know she did . but that 's why i think -- maggie : think ? what ? nathan : that i should 've stopped that wedding when i had the chance . maggie : oh . nathan : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] ej : it seems clearer than ever to me , rafe , that as usual , you simply do n't get it . rafe : really ? ej : really . my daughter is alive , and she 's safe , and she is healthy . and all you 're concerned about is an arrest -- improving your record . rafe : so you do n't care that that person who put you and sami through that hell , that person that made you go to the mother of your child and tell her the baby was dead -- you do n't care that that person gets -- gets to walk free ? ej : the hell is over , mr. hernandez . unless you insist on prolonging it . rafe : and you do n't care that this person can do this to another family ? ej : i do n't think that 's going to happen . rafe : why is that ? what is this insight that you have into the kidnapper that i do n't have ? ej : do you have any more questions , agent clark ? pertinent questions , that is . rafe : no . you 've given us plenty to go on , actually . ej : wonderful . well , it 's been my pleasure . if you 'll excuse me , i have to go and find my daughter . rafe : i want a copy of that . clearly , if he does not care about who did this , i do . [ scene_break ] sami : look , i know you see things the same way that rafe does , but when we went with the fbi 's plan and we did n't get sydney back , we had to do it . we had to keep things secret and do what they said . abe : it 's okay . excuse me . i 'm going to go talk to agent clark . sami : yeah , of course . [ sighs ] rafe : i know how hard it must 've been for you to have to keep things inside . ej told me about the phone call . the video . sami : does that mean you forgive me ? rafe : look , what matters is that sydney is back safe , right ? sami : i hated keeping that secret from you -- rafe : no , no , no , it 's water under the bridge . just let it go . sami : i -- rafe : no , no , listen . forget about it , okay ? the only thing i need from you is your laptop so we can take it to the lab and examine that video . sami : only -- ? okay . of course . rafe : i 'm not going to stop searching until i find the person who 's responsible for all this . sami : i know . and i 'm glad . and now i can just focus on sydney . ej : here she is . she 's looking for you . sami : hi ! lexie : she 's fine . sami : oh , sweetheart , hi . lexie : [ chuckling ] sami : you 're home . oh , you 're home , and you 're never going anywhere . this nightmare 's finally over . [ scene_break ] maggie : you were going to stop the wedding ? nathan : i was there . chloe talked me out of it . maggie : well , thank god she did ! nathan : you 're mad at me . maggie : [ sighs ] you know ... i think i 've had enough drama this past month to last me a lifetime . nathan : i know you have . i 'm sorry . maggie : [ sighs ] you have clearly done a great deal of thinking about melanie and about yourself . but have you even thought at all about philip ? ah ... or stephanie ? [ scene_break ] melanie : you 're right . you could really screw things up for me . but you could also really hurt philip . stephanie : clearly that 's your highest priority . melanie : i could screw things up for you too , though . you know , i mean ... how do you think nathan 's going to feel when he finds out he did n't get the letter because of you ? stephanie : he 'll understand . and you know why ? because when i went to give him the letter , all he could talk about was how excited he was to go away with me . you had made your choice , melanie . nathan made his . he chose me . [ scene_break ] ej : rafe , listen ... i , um ... i hope i did n't give you the impression earlier that i was n't going to fully cooperate with your investigation . i 'm just a little preoccupied at the moment , you understand . rafe : totally understandable . ej : thank you . actually . actually , would you mind if we had a word in private , just for a moment ? lexie : yeah . abe : sure . ej : thank you . listen , rafe , you did n't give an answer earlier as to whether or not you would be comfortable with me spending the night with samantha and yourself . rafe : right . yes , that 's ... well , if that 's what samantha wants . ej : thank you . samantha , wonderful news . rafe just very generously said that i could stay with you this evening . rafe : well , i may have some more questions . ej : of course . if you 'll excuse me , i just have to say good - bye to lexie . rafe : sorry . guess i should n't have said that . sami : look , i know this is n't how you pictured this evening turning out . rafe : it 's great . it 's great -- just , uh ... one big , happy family . [ scene_break ] lexie : [ scoffs , laughs ] you 're spending the night at sami 's . rafe must be thrilled . ej : i think samantha persuaded him it was good for the kids , you know . lexie : ah , so this is all about the kids ? it has nothing to do with sami ? ej : not a thing . good night . lexie : [ chuckling ] ej , you just keep telling yourself that . [ scene_break ] arianna : when i get married ... i want to be pretty damn sure that this thing is going to last forever . you know , i want , like , our picture in the paper , wearing eyeglasses , saying that the `` couple celebrates their golden anniversary . `` and you know that 50-year mark ? that 's not just about how much we love each other . 'cause i 'm sure that i love you enough to marry you . i 'm just not sure i 'm grown - up enough to . brady : [ scoffs ] you tick me off . you tick me off , 'cause you turn down my marriage proposal , and i end up liking you even more . it 's not fair , hernandez . it 's not fair . arianna : do you understand ? brady : yep . i do understand . i even agree . but let me make one thing clear , okay ? arianna : okay . brady : i reserve the right to make future offers . arianna : i hope that you would . brady : all right . when we 're done with -- when we 're done with this whole growing up thing ... arianna : it 's the early bird special . brady : early bird special , yeah . you know how long it might take me to do this growing up thing ? i do n't know about you , but this might take a long time . arianna : i have no idea . brady : [ chuckles ] arianna : i do know how we can pass the time , though . brady : you know , you . come here . come here . [ scene_break ] maggie : i asked you a question . nathan : i ... i really like stephanie . i do , and we had such a good time on our trip . maggie : but ? nathan : i did n't know how melanie felt . this whole letter thing is just throwing everything off . maggie : i can see that . well , this is going to be hard . but you need to do yourself and melanie a favor and move on ... like she did . [ pager ringing ] nathan : shoot . come on . maggie : go . it 's fine . nathan : no , it 's not fine , because we came here to talk about you , and all we did was talk about me . maggie : as it should be . nathan : [ sighs ] maggie : go , doctor nathan horton . heal the sick . nathan : i 'm so lucky to have you . maggie : [ chuckles ] nathan : i love you . maggie : i love you too . [ scene_break ] melanie : [ laughing ] nathan chose you ? stephanie ... do you know how to spell `` rebound `` ? stephanie : nathan and i had been planning our trip for a while . we postponed it because you made me be in your wedding . oh , and we kept it a secret just 'cause we did n't want to hurt your feelings . melanie : oh . [ laughing ] so that 's what -- the night before the wedding when nathan came over to tell me he wanted me was to throw me off the trail , right ? so i would n't find out about the secret life of stephanie and nathan ? stephanie : look , spin it whatever way you 'd like , tell yourself whatever you want . the fact is , you are now mrs. philip kiriakis . and you want to hurt the guy who 's done everything for you ? go ahead . maybe the world will finally realize what kind of person you really are .

'cause i 've been doing a lot of thinking , too , and -- and the risk involved . jj : i know . it could blow up sky high if eve does n't keep her mouth shut . eve : [ heavy breathing ] jennifer : no ! so you and i and jj , if we keep this quiet , paige never has to know . and then he can find a way to fix things , and maybe they can find a way back to each other , and we let them . agreed ? paige : hey , is something wrong ? eve : well , why would you say that ? paige : you 're never up this early . eve : well , i - i woke up early and just started thinking about you , sweetheart . and i could n't get back to sleep . i just want to tell you that it meant the world to me to hear you say that you 'd never hate me . paige : it 's true . eve : and then you ran off to class , and there was so much more that i wanted to say . you think we could maybe get together later tonight , huh ? paige : uh , sorry . i have a date . eve : do i know him ? paige : it 's cole . i have to go . eve : hmm . cole . great . anyone 's better than jj . daniel : did i hear you say you have a date ? nicole : oh , god , sorry . aiden : oh , oh , i 'm sorry . no , no , no , it 's my fault . i was a million miles away . sorry . nicole : yeah , me too . actually , i 'm glad i ran into you . aiden : why ? what 's up ? you need a lawyer ? nicole : well , what i would like ... is some free advice . aiden : hmm . interesting . chad : i just , uh , called to thank you again for sending over that cost analysis . stefano : did katarina read it yet ? chad : she was very impressed . i ca n't actually believe she bought that i wrote it . stefano : uh - huh . because you had no idea what was in it . chad : well , i took a look at it . stefano : uh - uh - uh . do n't get cocky , my boy , all right ? if katarina gets suspicious of you , it will blow our whole plan . chad : uh , i 'll read it , okay ? i 'll memorize the damn thing . stefano : [ chuckles ] you 're serious ? chad : about destroying kate ? [ chuckles ] yeah , i 'm dead serious . kate : ooh . clyde : hi . kate : good morning . clyde : you 're chipper today . kate : yes . clyde : is that because my stepdaughter left town ? kate : now you know i do n't like jordan , and i never will . but she is far too insignificant to affect my mood one way or another . clyde : then what 's got you feeling so good today ? kate : every day is a good day when you know that you have a vice - like grip on stefano dimera 's ... neck . maggie : i ca n't tell you how glad i was to open that door and see you standing there . rafe : me ? maggie : yes . rafe : why ? is something wrong ? maggie : it 's victor . i 'm worried about him . i mean , all of sudden , he seems so down . rafe : down ? well , he has n't come into the club in a while . well , you know , come to think of it , last time i saw him , he was -- he was kind of depressed . maggie : come here . rafe : well , listen , i just came to talk to him about a few things that have come up at the bar . certainly nothing that 's gon na change his mood . maggie : then encourage him to spend more time there . rafe : okay . maggie : 'cause , i mean , maybe work would be good for him . rafe : yeah . hey , i 'll give it a shot . maggie : oh , i knew i could count on you . rafe : okay . victor . victor : ahem . what is it , rafe ? stefano : uh - huh . do n't become over - confident , all right ? do everything you can to allay katarina 's suspicions . chad : she 's not suspicious . she 's totally convinced that i 'm a money - grubbing , ambitious little creep who 's determined to overthrow his own father . she wants to believe that she 's made an ally out of me . stefano : uh - huh . the best way to convince her is to work hard for dimera enterprises . where 's katarina now ? chad : where do you think ? she 's with that hillbilly . clyde : that 's a good one . kate : what 's a good one ? clyde : you actually thinking you got stefano under control . kate : no , i do n't think it . i know it . even though tax evasion charges are keeping him out of salem right now , thank god . if he even thinks about coming back to town , i have ammunition i have n't even used yet . clyde : well , i guess i better watch my step around you . kate : as long as you keep treating me with respect and as an equal , you have nothing to worry about . cole : hey , are we still on for tonight ? paige : uh , yeah . this is dr. jonas . he 's a wonderful surgeon . he gave a lecture to my anatomy class . cole : cool . see you later . paige : um , he 's not usually like that . daniel : what 's he usually like ? jennifer : honey , we both know that eve ca n't be trusted . but right now , she is only worried about protecting her own self interests . it does n't matter how much she hates you and paige being together . she is fixated right now on paige never finding out about this . but you also know how careless she is . i mean , she could blab to theresa and someone could overhear , and then who knows what happens from there ? jj : i know , i know . all she does is talk . she 'll say anything to get a rise out of somebody . jennifer : yeah . i thought about that , too . so if you ca n't control eve , are you gon na take matters into your own hands ? jj : and tell paige myself ? mom , i already thought about it . i ca n't do it . jennifer : would you rather her hear it from theresa or eve ? jj : mom , there 's no good way for her to find out about this . it would kill her . and i 'd be killing her . jennifer : okay . if you get her back , do n't you realize you are gon na have this burden hanging over your head ? jj : but at least we 'll have a chance to be happy . jj : but what if you do n't get her back , honey ? jj : mom , you 're the one who gave me this chance . do n't tell me you 're backing away from it already . mommy 's got a surprise for you . aiden : uh , what kind of advice are you talking about ? nicole : uh , well , you and hope are together , right ? aiden : mm - hmm , yeah . nicole : and you two love each other ? aiden : yeah . nicole : so you 're happy ? aiden : very much , yes , yes . wh -- what -- where is this going ? wh -- what are you getting at ? nicole : well , i - i see your face now ... aiden : mm - hmm . nicole : when you say her name , and i just ca n't help but remember that god- awful party at daniel 's . aiden : oh , yeah , yeah , man . that was -- no . nicole : it just looked like that you and hope could n't stand being in the same room . aiden : well , we , you know , worked through it . nicole : see ? okay . how ? how did hope go from thinking you were a total jerk to being in love with you ? it happened so fast . i 'm especially interested in how you made that work . aiden : this is the advice that you want ? [ groans ] thought maybe you needed help fixing a parking ticket or something . nicole : no . no , i 'm -- i 'm going through a situation in my own life , and i just need to find a way to put it in the fast lane . daniel : look , i did n't mean to put you on the spot , i j -- paige : no , you did n't . it 's just , uh , i do n't know very much about cole . my friends all think he 's bad news , but he 's been really nice to me . daniel : so when he asked you out , you said yes . paige : yeah , it 's our first date . daniel : well , i hope you have a good time . paige : me too . daniel : yeah . and i know you 've been through a lot lately . look , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry . paige : you can say his name . daniel : i was n't sure if -- paige : and you can still be close to jj and still be friends with me , but it is over between him and me . daniel : well , how do you -- how do you know ? paige : i 've met his new girlfriend . her name 's roxanne . he 's moving on , and i 'm trying to do the same thing . daniel : um ... [ chuckles ] paige : what ? daniel : you 're a smart , beautiful girl . and a good person on top of it . you have a great future ahead of you , and it just -- paige : please , say what 's on your mind . daniel : i -- two words : do n't settle . eve : no , you do n't have to worry . mm - mmm . she 's smart . way too smart to go back with that jj deveraux after he hurt her . oh , but he can be so convincing . [ chuckles ] he 's got the fake sincerity of his mother and the selfishness of his daddy . jennifer : and despite what you did to try to destroy them , paige still loves jj . eve : i know . no . jennifer : oh , yeah . yeah . eve : mm - mmm . no . no , no , no , no , no . it just ca n't be . i just -- no . i ca n't stand by and let you go back to that boy . not after he hurt you . not after he hurt you . jennifer : are you absolutely sure you want to go through with this ? jj : mom , you gave me a chance to make things right with paige . i have to try . jennifer : okay . and i really do n't think that eve would be stupid enough to tell anyone about what happened between the two of you . but just in case , i 'm gon na call her and make sure she was n't awake last night coming up with a plan of her own . jj : thank you . you know , i do n't know what i did to deserve a mom like you . i -- jennifer : i do n't know what you did to deserve eve messing up your life like this . now come on , sit down . 'cause i really want to ask you are you really gon na be happy with paige ? really happy knowing what you know ? jj : the thing is , mom , is that i 've been carrying around this for a while . and i 'm used to it . if paige gave me another chance , i -- i 'm gon na be so good to her . and i am never ever gon na cheat on her again . jennifer : honey , i know you have really high hopes , and -- but you have to be prepared . she may not forgive you . and even if she does , you know , sometimes life just pulls the rug out from under you . jj : i know , mom . i 've known about that since dad died . but when i -- when i met paige , um , it seemed like everything turned around . and i loved her more than i 've ever loved anybody else . and she loved me the exact same way . jennifer : yeah . i believe that . jj : until her mom went to work on us . jennifer : no , i know . i know . i just want to make sure that you 're sure . okay . then i am too . jj : yeah . jennifer : yeah . jj : you know what , mom ? from now on , i 'm gon na be a different kind of guy . one that deserves a girl like paige . [ phone ringing ] eve : oh , my god , what do you want now , jennifer ? jennifer : i want to be sure that you 're still clear about what we agreed to last night . and if you are not , you need to tell me right now . paige : what do you think i 'm settling for ? cole ? daniel : if i 'm overstepping , i do n't -- paige : look , i 'm not my mom , you know ? daniel : okay , i 'm not trying to comment on you or your mom . and maybe -- maybe i should just mind my own business . paige : look , you do n't have to worry about me , okay ? and any time you need me to babysit -- daniel : just -- just call you , right ? paige : yeah . daniel : parker , he 's crazy about you , so ... paige : aww . daniel : um , and do n't be a stranger , okay ? paige : i wo n't . daniel : okay . cole : what did the old guy want ? paige : you were pretty rude . cole : he gave me a funny look . paige : you 're imagining that . daniel 's too nice to do something like that . cole : how do you know ? paige : uh , well , i babysit his kid and he talks to me about being a doctor , so ... cole : is that what you two were talking about just now ? because it looked like , you know , more personal than that . paige : he -- he just cares about me . he does n't want me to mess up my life like -- but i told him he does n't have anything to worry about . eve : well , given your threat to tell paige everything , i guess i have no choice than to go along with you and your little plan . jennifer : hmm . well , you could have avoided going along with me and my little plan if you did n't go to bed with my son and try to use it as blackmail . eve : that 's not what happened . jennifer : that is exactly what happened and we both know it . and that is what paige is gon na know if you decide to tell her yourself . because no matter how you try to spin it , all she 's gon na hear you say is that her mother went to bed with the boy she loves . so if i were you , i would keep your mouth shut . but that 's your call . eve : i wo n't tell paige , all right ? and , jennifer , just so you know , i hate your guts . jennifer : well , i 've known that for a long time . and just so you know , i really could n't care less . stefano : as much as i question katarina 's taste in men , i know that she is not stupid , all right ? so you must be very careful with her if this plan is gon na work . chad : okay , so we 're clear on what i 'm supposed to do , but you are the one that is facing the biggest obstacles that we have to overcome here . stefano : [ chuckles ] do n't worry about that , my son . i 'll handle it . rafe : well , it 's just i have n't seen you or heard a word from you in a while , victor , so , i just want to make sure everything 's okay . victor : why would n't it be ? rafe : because when sonny got stabbed , i know what that did to you . victor : i 'm fine . rafe : no , you 're not . you 're not fine and it 's bugging the hell out of me , victor . victor : why ? rafe : why ? why ? because a man like you is gon na let a bum like clyde weston get to you ? i did n't think you would let that happen , but , you know , now his bunch , they 're all but running the trucking business in salem . that used to be yours , victor . yours . victor : times change . rafe : oh , come on , victor . he 's expanding . okay . okay , fine . i just came by to let you know that i 'm gon na start sniffing around , and i 'm gon na find -- victor : sniffing around ? what are you ? a moron ? you 're gon na ruin everything . rafe : whoa , would you calm down ? all i 'm gon na do -- simply question a few people that i trust . victor : which part of `` do not do anything `` do you not get ? everybody that works for me , everybody , and that includes you , are to back off of clyde weston . rafe : okay , but i thought that you brought me in -- victor : i do n't pay you to think . or to second guess me . rafe : okay , then i do n't understand what the hell is going on . and why does maggie think that you 've just given up ? victor : because clyde weston is not stupid . he 's got a brain under that $ 4 haircut . when i told him i was gon na step aside , do you think he took my word for it ? rafe : so this depressed act , it 's all just for show ? well , do n't you think you should have told maggie that ? or me ? victor : i kept maggie in the dark for her own protection . and i told you what you needed to know . unfortunately , you did n't listen to me . you know what it takes to get a guy like clyde to let his guard down ? he has started to get a little too ambitious though . a little too greedy . at some point , he 's gon na overstep . and when he does , i 'll be ready . clyde : how many times have i told you i 've never met a woman like you ? kate : well , i never get tired of hearing it . clyde : well , i admire what you do . the way that you do it . so i think we 're on the same page . kate : and what page is that ? clyde : well , as long as you do n't step on my toes , i certainly wo n't step on yours . aiden : could you be a little more specific about what you want to know ? nicole : yeah , of course . um , well , i 'm in a relationship , as you may have heard . well , i 'm trying to be anyway , and i- i made some miscalculations along the way . aiden : miscalculations ? is that what you call them ? [ chuckles ] nicole : okay , mistakes . aiden : i 'm just -- nicole : big mistakes . but i really want this to work , and i 'm just trying to jumpstart things . aiden : okay , well , how does eric feel about that ? nicole : who ever said anything about eric ? i 'm talking about daniel . daniel : hey . jennifer : hey . uh , i was just dropping off the minutes from the ethics committee meeting , and i 'm gon na be on my way . daniel : no , no , no . that 's okay . stay . stay . i 'm glad you 're here . uh , i talked to paige . jennifer : oh , how is she ? daniel : well , she says she 's fine , but i think she 's covering . jennifer : why ? daniel : well , she said she met this girl , roxanne , and she 's as convinced as i am that jj 's with her now . jennifer : you know , i think that i could have been overreacting when i thought that eve brought roxanne here to break up paige and jj . daniel : yeah , no . i know you were really rooting for paige and jj , and so was i , and it 's hard . it 's hard to accept that he 's moved on , but , you know , that 's the reality . jennifer : no , that 's not the reality . daniel : what ? jennifer : this whole thing with roxanne , it 's over . it 's done with . maggie : oh . oh . eve : hello , maggie . maggie : hello . shopping spree ? eve : yes . i mean , why not ? i can afford it . jack 's book is paying off , and jennifer finally did the right thing for once in her life . maggie : and since you seem to have money to burn , why do n't you share the wealth a bit ? eve : and what do you mean by that ? maggie : st. luke 's clothing drive . i 'm surprised paige did n't say anything to you about it . she 's helping me organize . eve : oh . well , you know , uh , paige is living on campus now , so ... maggie : well , when you , uh , make room in your closet for all those things that you bought , maybe you could donate your old clothes to the drive . eve : mm . jennifer helping you organize this event ? maggie : yeah . she is . eve : well , ask her for her old clothes because you 're not getting any of mine . i do n't want any part of anything that has her paw prints on it , got it ? cole : i 'm telling you , it 's a great movie . these three dudes are like totally wasted and they 're in this jacuzzi , only it 's a time machine . paige : [ chuckles ] are you serious ? cole : yeah , it 's a riot . paige : oh . cole : and it 's at the student center . we got to go tonight . paige : yeah . jj : hey , paige . paige : i 'm busy right now , jj . jj : can i talk to you ? it 's important . cole : you heard her . get lost . jj : it 'll only take a minute . please . paige : would you mind ? cole : of course not . probably wo n't be far away . paige : i can take care of myself . okay . so what 's this about ? kate : did shin call yet ? chad : it 's not time . how was clyde ? kate : we have a business relationship . let 's keep the personal out of it . chad : oh , i see . now that you 've run jordan out of town by personally implicating me as the one who got rafe fired , you want to change the rules . kate : yes , i do . do you have a problem with that ? rafe : hey , clyde . what the hell did you do to victor kiriakis ? jj : i want a chance to -- to explain . paige : about ? jj : yesterday . paige : oh , you mean when you showed off your new girlfriend ? jj : she 's not my girlfriend , paige . paige : then what is she ? you know what , never mind . i do n't care . jj : look , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that i hurt you , and i want to make it up to you . paige : but you ca n't . do n't you know that ? jj : i can try . paige : no , the best thing you can do for me right now is to just leave me alone . jj : okay , there -- there 's a lot of stuff that you do n't understand . paige : like what ? jj : like -- like a million things happened since last night , and i know this is gon na sound lame , but everything has changed . paige : sounds pretty much the same to me . jj : i told roxanne that it was over . permanently . aiden : daniel ? but i thought that you -- did n't eric leave the priesthood for you ? i just thought -- nicole : that 's not exactly how it happened . aiden : uh - huh . nicole : besides , it 's ancient history . aiden : ah , and now you 're with daniel . nicole : kind of . aiden : kind of ? is n't that like being kind of pregnant , is it ? nicole : well , we 're great together . and we should be together . aiden : i just -- you just moved really fast , that 's all . i just -- um . nicole : well , is n't that how it happened with you and hope ? what 's wrong with wanting that for daniel and me ? aiden : not really the same situation , i do n't think . nicole : why ? aiden : why ? well , first of all , that party that you 're talking about , i mean , was n't that to celebrate daniel and jennifer being together ? and to me , they seemed like they were , i do n't know , totally in love . nicole : well , bo and hope were totally in love , but that 's ancient history . and so are daniel and jennifer . you do n't believe me , ask either one of them . aiden : look , i do n't know . but hope knows them really well . she thinks they belong together . nicole : well , good for her . things change and so do people . aiden : all right , listen . have you considered the idea the reason things are n't working out for you and daniel is because of all that ancient history ? nicole : [ scoffs ] because of jennifer ? that 's your advice ? aiden : well , it 's just my observation , that 's all . nicole : it 's a stupid one . aiden : well , look . you want to know what turned things around so quickly for hope and me ? nicole : hmm ? aiden : we both faced our ancient history together . nicole : well , good for you . you know what ? you and frowny face deserve each other . daniel : what do you mean it 's over with jj and that girl ? yesterday you were saying you did n't believe that it ever even happened at all . jennifer : right . i was wrong yesterday . but i 'm right today . she just -- she went home . it ended . daniel : what happened ? jennifer : just ended . daniel : just -- wow , you seem awfully casual about it . yeah . did you have anything to do with that ? jennifer : maybe . i -- daniel : okay , jennifer , why are you being so evasive ? jennifer : i 'm not . daniel : yeah . jennifer : i mean , i had a talk with jj , you know ? and -- and maybe he , uh , just felt like it was wrong and he realized he should n't be with roxanne . daniel : well , he did n't seem to feel that way yesterday . jennifer : uh , you know kids . they change their mind all the time every day . and really , why do you care if roxanne 's with jj ? daniel : i care about jj . you know , when i see him , i 'm going to tell him that -- jennifer : no , do n't do that . really . you -- you do n't need to mention this . just leave it alone , really . daniel : okay , jennifer -- jennifer -- jennifer , you 're forgetting that i know you pretty well . and there is something you 're not telling me . and i 'm guessing it 's big . is jj is some kind of trouble ? jennifer : no . daniel : okay , i 'm sorry . but you are lying . clyde : well , i hardly know mr. kiriakis . but from what i do know , he seems like a fine fella . rafe : oh , do n't give me that . i saw the sparks flying between the two of you at the club the other night . and now ... clyde : now what ? rafe : well , now there 's this new trucking company in salem that 's taking all the kiriakis routes . clyde : no kidding ? rafe : it 's your company . i found the name when i was checking out your businesses . clyde : well , there was a need here in salem , and i was glad to be able to fill it . rafe : at victor 's expense . clyde : competition 's the american way , right ? rafe : yeah , but you did n't just beat him out in business . there 's more to it than that . victor does n't come to the club anymore . his wife says that he hardly leaves the house . and do n't tell me -- do n't tell me it 's just because his trucking company is in the red . clyde : well , victor 's not a young man any more . and i would imagine that losses like this get harder to take . rafe : i 've known victor ever since i came to salem . i 've seen him handle the good times and the bad . and i 'm -- i 'm here to tell you i 've never seen him like this before . victor : a little too early . ah , what the hell . you fooled maggie . you fooled that bastard weston . by golly , you still got it . here 's to clyde weston , who is going to find out the hard way that you do n't stab a kiriakis in the back and get away with it . daniel : i do not get it . the jennifer i know does not lie . jennifer : well , all i can tell you is that what you 're thinking is wrong . daniel : well , i 'm not wrong about the way you were acting when i told you about jj and roxanne . you seemed like you were gon na lose it . like you were stressed out . and i was worried about you . and now you 're absolutely fine ?

[ chuckles ] eduardo : wow , how about that . i bet you 're wondering why i chose a bracelet . it 's because you wear it here , over your wrist , where the pulse is strongest . that way , you can have them close to you , wherever they may be . you 're smart and tough and way independent , but i know that your children are your lifeblood . they 're what makes your heart beat . and right now , it 's beating very fast . kate : there has to be something wrong with me . i need to see a doctor . steve : you know , i -- i came straight to the hospital to tell you as soon as i found out . kayla : so how did raymond find out that the baby did n't die ? steve : he says he was contacted by a young man who was looking for his biological parents . and when the kid realized that his adoption papers were shady , his research led him to raymond . kayla : so he found out that he was bought and sold . steve : yeah . must 've been a real kick in the gut . kayla : yeah . steve : so then raymond said he did some more digging , and he came up with the original birth certificate . and right there in black and white were the names of the kid 's parents . kayla : you and ava . steve : me and ava . kayla : yeah . so i guess , uh , if he is your son , he would be ... just couple of years older than joey . steve : yeah . yes , he would . i wanted to tell joe myself , but jade would n't let him leave her side at the hospital since the surgery . kayla : well , there 's time . we 'll tell him together . steve : [ exhales ] i do n't even know what to say to him . hey , joe , remember , uh , when i told you that ava and i might have had a baby together ? well , it 's true , and guess what ? he 's not dead after all . he 's alive . joey : what ? [ dramatic music ] brady : the problem is , everyone 's looking for you , nicole . i mean , chloe , deimos . the cops . i mean , what is your plan to stay ahead of them ? you do n't have -- i ca n't believe you do n't have a plan . you took her without having a plan . nicole : okay , but , brady , my -- my plan was to get holly away from chloe before she took her to new york . that 's all i could think about , was my baby . brady : mm . nicole : daniel 's baby . it 's all we ever dreamed about , and we -- we struggled to make this dream happen , and when -- and when daniel died , that dream died with him , and -- and then this little miracle arrived , you know ? my little beautiful baby girl , and she 's part daniel and part me and all love . you know , this is definitely not the way i imagined it would happen , but when i hold her close to my heart , it 's -- it 's like he never left . like daniel 's close . he 's so close to me . so can you -- can you blame me for not wanting to let her go ? brady : i ca n't . i would have done the same thing for my son . nicole : exactly . daniel 's gone ... and holly is all i have left . she 's all i have left , brady . brady : not true . you have me . [ soft music ] joey : he 's my ... brother . steve : well , he 'd be your half - brother , but we do n't have final confirmation yet . we all know ava was a liar , and this raymond is less than trustworthy . joey : but you believe it 's true ? steve : i think it 's possible . joey : do you know his name ? steve : tripp dalton . joey : are you gon na look for him ? steve : joe , i do n't think i have a choice . [ dramatic music ] kate : why do they make these things so damn complicated ? eduardo : i know . maybe you should just leave it on . kate : maybe you should just take it back . you know , you 're wasting your time with me . eduardo : no , no , no , no , no , no . i know what it feels like to be wasting time , and this is not that feeling . kate : this is never , ever going to work between us , because there 's no trust . eduardo : that 's -- kate : no trust . eduardo : come on . kate : you accused me of stealing from you . you stole from me . you lied about sonny . eduardo : hey , that was business . we -- those were games . this is something else . kate : you 're right . you 're so right about that . eduardo : you trust me about everything that really matters . you do . you 're just not ready to admit it , but i am a patient man . kate : well , you 're gon na be waiting a really long time , because this is never going to happen . eduardo : yeah , right . that 's what my kids said too , and look at us now . we 're thick as thieves . kate : i 'm not one of your kids . and this is impossible . it 's impossible . eduardo : you know , there is no such thing as impossible . you just have to want it really bad , and i do . chloe : it was a mistake to come here . deimos : no , no , no . no , no , too late . you do n't get to just walk out like this . chloe : get out of my way . deimos : you come into my home . you threaten to put me in jail . well , now it 's my turn . chloe : move . deimos : how 's it feel , chloe ? huh ? how does it feel to be powerless ? because that 's how you 've made nicole feel . you took away the most important thing in her life . and then you got a restraining order , so she ca n't even go near her own child . chloe : i was doing the right thing for holly . deimos : oh , the hell you were ! the right thing would be for you to let your best friend be with her daughter . nicole would 've let you be a part of holly 's life . but of course , you 've become too selfish and stubborn to even see beyond yourself . chloe : what are you talking about ? i gave birth to her . deimos : she 's not yours . chloe : and she 's not yours ! and i thank god for that . what kind of woman in her right mind would want to make a life with you ? you 're vicious and disgusting , and you deserve to go back to prison . the moment that i get holly back , you are never coming near my baby again . deimos : listen to me . she 's not your baby . do you understand that ? she belongs with her mother , with nicole . and there 's nothing , nothing i wo n't do to keep her there . do you hear that ? nothing ! kate : how did you do that so fast ? eduardo : nimble hands . kate : okay , here . take it back . eduardo : like i told you , i ca n't return it . kate : [ sighs ] i -- i do n't care . i do n't want it . eduardo : maybe you do n't understand . there 's no strings with that . you can wear it and not even acknowledge my existence . you do n't have to talk -- kate : i do n't want it , and if you send me any more gifts , i 'm going to have you reported as a stalker . eduardo : oh , come on . that 's a little extreme . kate : try me . eduardo : okay , you win . i wo n't send you any more gifts . but i will buy them . kate : what are you talking about ? eduardo : yeah , if and when i see something that reminds me of you , which happens every damn day of my life , i 'm gon na buy it . i just wo n't send it to you . i 'll just hide it somewhere or hold onto it ... until you see the light . kate : well , you 're going to have a hell of a lot of unclaimed gifts on your hands . eduardo : uh - huh , which will accrue in power . kate : will you just quit ? eduardo : no , i wo n't , because i see what this can be . even if you 're too scared to admit it . kate : i do n't get scared . kayla : you do n't need to worry about us . you do whatever you have to do about your son , and we 'll support you . right , joey ? joey : when are you gon na go look for him ? steve : i need to do some research first so i know what i 'm walking into . kayla : i know this ca n't be easy for you after everything that 's happened . joey : everything that 's happened ? steve : you know what your mom means . joey : i know what she means . if this tripp is my brother , he 's gon na find out that i killed his mom . chloe : what are you gon na do , have me beat up like dario ? throw me in a meat locker like gabi ? deimos : no , you listen to me , you little bitch . maggie : get your hands off of her . deimos : maggie . maggie : i need to talk to chloe . alone . deimos : all right , fine . i 'm through here . if you even have a shred of decency left in you , you 'll let nicole keep her baby . chloe : you saw what happened there . he threatened me . if anything happens to me , you know who did it . maggie : i wo n't let anything happen . chloe : how are you gon na stop him ? i do n't think victor could stop him . maggie : what are you doing here , chloe ? chloe : i came here looking for nicole and holly . maggie : deimos does n't know where they are . chloe : how do you know that ? he 's probably hiding them . we need to call the police . have them come here -- maggie : oh , stop ! stop it . you know , this is getting out of control , and i am worried about the safety of my granddaughter . chloe : i am too . nicole is unhinged . she knocked me out and took the baby . maggie : because you got a restraining order against her . chloe : oh , my god , you 're on nicole 's side too ? maggie : now , you pushed nicole into a corner . she had no other choice . chloe : there was no other way . maggie : you could n't have worked something out with her , at least visitation rights ? chloe : well , if i did , then she would let deimos near that baby . you know that . maggie : so you wo n't even try to work it out , find a -- a middle ground ? chloe : there is no middle ground when it comes to holly . maggie : chloe , nicole may never come back . and you and i may never see holly again . nicole : why is it every time i find myself in a mess , you 're there to help me ? brady : you 're just lucky , i guess . nicole : you have no idea how much that means to me , brady . i was so scared and lonely before you found me , and i guess that 's why i trusted tiffany so quickly . brady : nic , this is too big . this whole thing is too big for you handle alone , okay ? nicole : yeah . but you 're right , though . i mean , we ca n't -- we ca n't stay here . i 'm gon na need a plan . brady : no , we -- we -- that 's why we 're gon na come up with one . first things first . we have to get you and holly someplace safer until we can figure this out , okay ? nicole : mm - hmm . okay , but i have -- i have to ask . since tiffany took all my cash , and i -- i ca n't use my credit cards ... and i -- brady , i -- i will pay you back . i promise to pay you back . brady : nic , nic , hey . listen , listen . you do n't have to pay me back . you never have to pay me back , but i have a condition . wherever you go , i am coming with you . [ upbeat music ] chloe : hello ? is there a bartender ? anybody want my business ? no ? eduardo : hey , uh , sorry . i 'm the owner . i 'm just doing double duty . i 'll get you whatever you want . what can i get you ? it 's on the house . you look like you could use it . chloe : oh , thank you . you make a habit of insulting your customers ? eduardo : oh , no , not an insult . just a friendly observation . chloe : okay , well , i will have a glass of cabernet , please . eduardo : okay . if you 're sure you do n't want anything stronger ? chloe : well , i have n't really had a drink in a while , so i 'm gon na just ease back into it . eduardo : you on the wagon ? chloe : pregnant and then nursing . eduardo : oh , well , congratulations on your birth . chloe : thanks . eduardo : i 'm eddie . chloe : chloe . eduardo : it 's good to meet you . i know you . chloe : you do ? eduardo : yeah , you were that woman . your friend , nicole , took your baby . chloe : yeah , she did . eduardo : i 'm really sorry to hear that . you know , my son , rafe , is a detective , and , uh , he knows her , so i 'm sure he 'll find her . chloe : well , she does n't really want to be found . eduardo : well , you should have faith in him . i know he 'll track her down , and when he does , he 'll get her to do what she 's supposed to do . chloe : i hope you 're right . but nicole has other friends that want to keep my baby from me too . eduardo : and what friends might those be ? chloe : deimos kiriakis . do you know him ? eduardo : oh , yeah , i know deimos . what 's his connection ? chloe : well , uh , he 's in love with nicole , or he claims to be . either way , he would kill for her if he had to . eduardo : i do n't doubt it . chloe : i ca n't wait for the day that he gets what 's coming to him . eduardo : i 'll drink to that . seems like you and i have a lot in common . deimos : i assume you were n't able to talk any sense into chloe . the woman has to be the most spiteful , self - centered person i 've ever had the misfortune of knowing . maggie : you ca n't threaten her . deimos : it 's all she understands , maggie . maggie : i do n't care . deimos : you do know that she was trying to take holly to new york , right ? so that nicole could never be with her daughter again ? maggie : yeah , i know that . deimos : well , then you must realize that means that she 'd be keeping you away from your granddaughter . maggie : i can handle chloe . you need to stop pouring gasoline on the fire . this is a bad situation . deimos : believe me -- maggie : and you 're making it worse . deimos : i know it 's a bad situation . i 'm just trying to help nicole . maggie : does she want your help ? deimos : chloe has her all turned around right now . i know i can get her to see that she still needs my help . maggie : i 'm not gon na let you do that at my granddaughter 's expense . now stay out of it , deimos , or you will answer to me . nicole : brady , that is the kindest , most generous offer , but i ca n't -- i ca n't ask you to go on the run with us . brady : you did n't . i volunteered . nicole : but you -- you could go to jail . brady : so let 's not get caught . nicole : what about tate ? brady : i will -- i will call emma and -- and maggie and make sure he 's taken care of . i 'm not -- we 're not gon na be long . nicole : okay . i ca n't thank you enough for doing this for me . but , brady , if chloe finds out you 're helping me , she 's gon na make your life a living hell . brady : what can i say ? you 're worth it . joey : how could i ever face tripp , knowing that i killed his mother ? steve : joe ... yeah , we 've been over and over this . you -- you were trying to protect us . kayla : and we know how hard you 've worked to deal with the consequences of your actions . steve : you 're a good person , joe . we know that . and we are gon na help you get through all of this , no matter what . joey : i wonder if my new brother tripp will feel the same way you did . kayla : let 's not get ahead of ourselves , okay ? joey : what are you gon na do , lie to your son about how his mom died ? steve : this is all new , okay ? joey : i need to go . steve : if we find out -- joe , wait . come on . kayla : you know what ? let him . let him go . he needs some time to work through this .

[ doorbell rings ] what happens then ? kayla : who 's that , so early in the morning ? justin : i 'll get it . john : please , gina . i 'm begging you . hope as gina : my answer is no . i love you far too much to help you find your way back to a woman who is not worthy of you . not at all . john : fine , fine . you know , if you wo n't -- you wo n't do it out of love , maybe you 'll do it out of hate then . hope as gina : hate ? what are you talking of ? john : how about stefano ? two of you had a deal , did n't you , in what was going on here ? i mean , you would help him get marlena , and he would help you get me . i wonder how that worked out . looks like he got marlena . what 'd you get ? yeah . he betrayed you , gina . he groomed you , he used you , and then he threw you to the wolves . and i guess you 're okay with that , but i find that pretty damn interesting , because the gina i remember ? she would never let stefano ride off into the sunset with marlena while she rotted away , in a prison cell . [ dramatic music ] steve as stefano : during this transitional phase , how should i interact with marlena ? what can i do to encourage her total devotion to me ? rolf : well , for starters , remind her of the good times you shared . steve as stefano : i tried that , i -- i reminded her of paris and the grand ballrooms . the opera . she was unmoved . rolf : yes , well , that was before the procedure , but now , with positive encouragement , she will come to cherish the strength of your bond . steve as stefano : right . step back and observe . i do n't want my queen to be alarmed by your presence . marlena : it 's you . kate : the police and john have to find her . chad : they 're wasting their time . kate : why would you say something like that ? chad : it 's a mistake to underestimate stefano dimera . he has more resources than people may realize . kate : well , no . exactly . that 's why i 'm worried . i 'm worried what he 's capable of doing to keep her from escaping . chad : kate , i understand that you 're worried about your friend , but you should really be worried about yourself . kate : [ scoffs ] what does that mean ? kayla : hi , jack . jack : hi . i 'm sorry to come by so early , but jennifer and i just met with sarah , to go over the results of hope 's mri . kayla : oh , i have n't seen it . jack : well , it seems that rolf put a microchip into hope 's brain . justin : did you see it ? jack : well , yeah , kind of , but from what sarah said , it can only be removed with the help of a very talented surgeon , and since you 're the talented surgeon i know , i was hoping that maybe you could weigh in . kayla : sure , of course . i 'll take a look at it . where 's jen ? jack : she 's still down at the hospital . kayla : all right , i 'll go check it out . i 'll keep you posted , and i 'll see you later , right ? justin : yeah . sounds good . kayla : okay . jack : um , i 'm no surgeon , but i 'm hoping that kayla can help bring hope back to us . you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know jack : again , i 'm sorry about coming by so early . i should have called you . justin : not a problem . no problem . kayla 's anxious to help . we were just talking about how crazy all of this is . jack : man , look at you . look at your head . i heard that steve pistol - whipped you . justin : yeah . i 'm good . kayla stitched me up . how about you ? i imagine it 's not easy watching your brother behave like this . jack : this ca n't be easy for either of us . i mean , let 's face it . we both know that steve was basically brainwashed into signing those divorce papers that kayla sent him . i got ta think that that has made for a big change in your relationship . justin : i 'm afraid you 're right . kayla : justin told me about your father , and i am so sorry . jennifer : he did n't suffer , so i 'm grateful for that , but then when i got back from africa , i heard that you were taken hostage by stefano , and i was worried sick . kayla : i tell you it was so unsettling being with steve . except for how he looked , there was nothing about him that resembled the man that i loved . jennifer : kayla , i can relate . i mean , with jack , you know , just with time , and determination , and a crazy bump on his head , and we got him back . and you 're gon na get steve back too . kayla : if john can find him . jennifer : he has marlena . john will find him . kayla : well , at least we know where hope is . jennifer : except that she 's still gina . kayla : well , jack told me that you saw the mri ? jennifer : yeah , but sarah said that she will probably need surgery to remove that microchip . is that even possible ? kayla : well , let 's take a look . jennifer : what do you think ? are you gon na be able to bring our hope back to us ? hope as gina : you were right . to hell with stefano . he should not get what he wants , when i did not get what he promised me . john : so are you telling me you 're gon na help me , gina ? hope as gina : if it means getting even with that ungrateful traitor , yes . john : that 's the girl i remember . all right . here 's what i got . steve managed to trap me , justin , and kayla in his hideout . he pumped the place full of knockout gas , so he could get a head start with marlena . now , what i need to know is , where do you tnk he might be headed ? hope as gina : nothing is more important to stefano ... than making marlena his queen . where else would a king take his queen , john ? back to his castle . john : dimera mansion . maybe , but chad 's there now , and i 'm sure that if steve were to show up , he would just turn him in to the cops . kate : why should i be worried ? chad : you 're facing multiple felony charges for being my father 's accomplice . they 're gon na put you in prison , for years . kate : well , thanks for the pep talk . chad : last night , i offered you dimera 's top lawyers . they 'll make sure you do n't spend a day in prison . kate : okay , well , you did n't do that out of the goodness of your heart . you did that because you want to get rid of gabi , and you need my shares to do that . chad : your stock for your freedom . it 's a fair trade . it wo n't be on the table for long , though . steve as stefano : yes , marlena . it is i . marlena : where am i ? what 's happened ? steve as stefano : everything is fine . you 're safe . marlena : safe from what ? steve as stefano : well , someone tried to take you away , but i protected you . marlena : oh . where is john ? why are you here , steve ? steve as stefano : i am not steve . i am stefano . marlena : stefano ? you - you look just like steve . steve as stefano : true , but listen to my voice . the cadence of my words . does it not sound familiar ? marlena : it does . oh , but i should be afraid of you . but i 'm not . steve as stefano : marlena , you have nothing to fear from me . that i can promise you . marlena : i - i feel strange . steve as stefano : well , you have been through a terrible ordeal , but there is no longer any need to worry . i am here to care for you . will you let me do that ? marlena : stefano . why would you want to help me ? steve as stefano : you helped me once , when i was gravely injured , after being pushed off a balcony . marlena : who would do such a terrible thing ? steve as stefano : that does n't matter . what matters is that you were there for me , by my side , night and day , nursing me back to health . we grew very close during that time . do you remember that ? marlena : vaguely . it 's hazy . could i have a glass of water please ? steve as stefano : of course . she is not responding . i need something more effective . rolf : yeah . well , here . try this , sir . steve as stefano : the complete poems of john keats . rolf . mm . you , uh , you once gave marlena a copy of this book , and she read to you from it . perhaps it will help things along . marlena : oh , thank you . steve as stefano : do you remember , i once gave you a book of poems by john keats ? marlena : yes . the romantics . my favorite . i - i do remember that . steve as stefano : well , you read to me as i recovered . i would like to return the favor . where shall i begin ? marlena : `` ode on a grecian urn . `` i always loved that . steve as stefano : yes . i love it , as well . ah . `` thou still unravished bride of quietness . though foster child of silence and slow time . `` kate : as i told you the last time that you asked for my shares , they are of more than financial value to me . they have sentimental value attached , as well . chad : you say that is because it was all andre left you , but i do n't buy that . i thought there was a self - serving reason why you would n't sell me your stock . i was right , and now you 're facing a long stretch at statesville . your shares are n't gon na do you any good there . kate : i 'm not going down without a fight . i have an attorney , chad . chad : one who will let you sweat it out in a cell overnight , because he did n't have the power to fast - track your arraignment . you know who has the power ? dimera 's lawyers , whom i will pay whatever it takes to make sure you do n't spend one day in prison . i will even bribe the judges . kate : well , you really are your father 's son , are n't you ? chad : let 's just say that he 's with me in spirit , as i rebuild his empire . kate : what 's that ? chad : sign it . kate : okay . well , this is good . this is good that you 're paying for my defense , but you 're going to have to do a lot more . how 's that figure look to you ? chad : deal . our lawyers will be in touch . hope as gina : i 'm not sure you should trust chadwick . you know how much he loves his father ? john : do n't think he would approve of him kidnapping marlena . hope as gina : i do not know . but stefano certainly gave the impression that chadwick was an integral part of his plans -- oddly confident that he would bring him back into the fold and that , ultimately , he would side with la famiglia . john : interesting . i think i 'll have a talk with him . hope as gina : not so much as a `` thank you `` for my help ? john : yeah . thanks . [ door clicks shut ] kayla : rolf attached the chip to the nerves very close to the spinal cord , so i 'm afraid sarah was right . any kind of surgery to remove it 's gon na be very complicated . jennifer : that 's so crazy . rolf is not even a real doctor . how did he even do this ? kayla : when i was held captive , he kept bragging about his revolutionary scientific breakthroughs . you know , i thought he was completely full of it , but apparently he 's not . jennifer : so are you saying that we have lost hope permanently , and steve is gone forever ? justin : i 'm still trying to wrap my head around what it means to know that steve did n't really reject kayla . she was so hurt by his behavior . was truly baffled . she did n't think it was possible for the man that she loved to behave so cruelly . jack : none of us did . when steve blew up adrienne 's funeral , i felt the same way . i was hurt . i was angry . i was sad . i was sad for our whole family . justin : i loved your sister so much that i really did n't think that i would ever love anyone again , but kayla was there for me . jack : you were there for each other . you were mourning adrienne . she was mourning the end of her marriage to steve . justin : yeah , and now we know that our situations are not the same . my wife is gone , and she 's never coming back . we watched her casket be lowered into the ground , and yet , if someone offered me the chance to be with adrienne again , i 'd have to jump at it . and i have to believe that kayla would do the same with steve . jack : did she say that to you ? no , no , no . she said she 's happy with me , and i believe her , but come on . steve is the love of her life , and now there 's a chance that she could have him back . she could have their life together back , and if i truly love kayla , and i do , how can i possibly deny her that ? i did n't have to shout out for help . jack : do n't get ahead of yourself , all right ? kayla loves you . do n't forget that . justin : and kayla loves steve , and now we know that steve never stopped loving kayla . jack : one step at a time , all right ? we do n't know that we can reverse what rolf did . according to sarah , it 's gon na require a very difficult surgery . justin : well , if anyone can do it , it 's kayla . and jack , really , you should be rooting for kayla to bring your brother back . jack : i am . believe me , i am , but i do n't want you to get hurt . kayla : you know what ? let 's not panic , okay ? i just need a little more time to analyze these results , and maybe run a few more tests . jennifer : all right , so you 're saying that there is a chance you can operate ? kayla : what i 'm saying is we need to prepare for the worst and hope for the best . jennifer : kayla , i ca n't lose hope . she 's my cousin . she 's my best friend . kayla : i know , baby . trust me . i 'm gon na do everything in my power to find a safe way to remove that chip from hope 's brain , and listen , i am praying that john finds steve , and we 'd be able to transform him as well . jennifer : now that you know the truth about everything , what does that mean for you and justin ? kayla : you know what ? i ca n't even think about that right now . i just have to focus on if it 's possible to reverse rolf 's handiwork . marlena : that is as lovely and moving as i recall . thank you for reading it to me . steve as stefano : oh , it was my honor . i live to make you happy . you know that . marlena : mm . where 's john ? i need to see john . steve as stefano : you said you were feeling a bit off . perhaps you would like to freshen up , huh ? marlena : oh , thank you . steve as stefano : this way . slow . that 's it . marlena : oh , goodness . steve as stefano : you see ? your procedure was a failure ! john is still deep in her heart . rolf : look , i told you . you must be patient ! keep reminding marlena of your connection . continue to reinforce positive thoughts of the two of you together , and soon her memories of john will fade away .

[ scene_break ] hope : what is it ? it 's okay . they 're my family . daniel : well , i want to go over a procedure i 'd like to try . hope : please tell me . daniel : well , it involves a transplant from a living donor . now , see , the pancreas is n't like a liver . it 's not self - regenerating , but a person can live with a partial one . and what i 'd like to do is i would like to take part of the pancreas from the donor and attach that to bo 's failing pancreas . now , in the past , i have seen some amazing things happen . sometimes the partial pancreas just sort of jump - starts the failing one , sometimes it just takes over most of the work . now , that is the best - case scenario . if that happens , there is no reason why bo ca n't go home and enjoy some recovery time . hope : what happens to the living donor ? daniel : well , like i said , their pancreas is n't capable of regenerating . it 's going to stay the way it is . now , they could have a normal life if their recovery is good . or now they could suffer serious health issues . and that 's why i wanted to make this the last resort . this is n't just about bo . it 's about the person who 's willing to put their life on the line for him . if this operation fails or if his body rejects the transplant , that 's it . he dies . and the donor could meet the same fate . [ scene_break ] bo : hope 's taking an awful long time signing some forms . caroline : we both know it 's more than that . bo : what we do n't know is whether it 's good news or bad . [ scene_break ] daniel : i wish i could tell you otherwise , but it is putting two other lives on the line . there 's just no way to sugar coat it . hope : how many of your former patients have survived this procedure ? daniel : my former patients have nothing to do with bo . every case is unique . there is just no way to predict success or subsequent rejection . shawn d. : so , what are the chances that we 'll even find a match ? lexie : considering that bo has so many blood relatives here , they 're excellent . daniel : yeah , but there are a number of factors that could prevent any of them from becoming a viable donor . victor : i want to be tested right away . chelsea : so do i . shawn d. : me too . max : me too , but i 'm not blood related . daniel : that does n't rule you out , but other factors could -- incompatible blood type , history of diabetes , heart disease . victor : are n't those all calculated risks ? daniel : they are , but they 're risks i refuse to take . chelsea : yeah , but if they could save my dad -- daniel : listen , ignoring high risk factors not only compromises the transplant , but as i 've said before , it could kill the donor . hope : lex , okay , after hearing all the facts , what do you think ? [ scene_break ] john : i think you should go for it . victor : what the hell do you care ? and what do you know about it anyway ? john : blondie filled me in . and you 're right . i do n't care -- not really -- which makes me the only person who can be objective . are you any good at what you do ? victor : he 's the best . john : you do n't do the procedure , he 's dead , right ? marlena : could you be a little more sensitive , please ? john : it 's the truth , is n't it ? i mean , what are the alternatives ? marlena : john . lexie : to continue to try to diagnose and isolate the cause of bo 's failing pancreas and then determine the best course of treatment . john : sounds like he 'll be rotting in his grave by the time you get around to that . when the chips are on the table , got to go for broke , right , victor ? victor : i hate to agree with him , but it 's true . lexie : hope , it 's up to you and bo . shawn d. : if there 's even the slimmest chance , i think we should go for it . hope : start the testing . i 'll go tell bo . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] hope : they think they have a way to save you . caroline : how ? hope : a partial pancreas transplant by a living donor . bo : no . no , that 's not gon na happen . no one 's gon na put their life at risk for me . [ scene_break ] steve : sweetness , you ca n't do anything to jeopardize the pregnancy . kayla : i know . i 'm not even gon na be tested . i just want to get everything all set up so as soon as bo and hope agree , we 're ready to start testing . steve : okay . how soon will you know if you have a match ? kayla : well , lexie and dr. jonas will start running the tests on the blood as soon as it 's delivered to them , but it 's not a sure thing , even for a blood relative . even if they find a match , there 's this whole criteria that they have to meet . i 'm just gon na get everything set up and ready to go . steve : can i do anything to help you with that ? kayla : all right . steve : i want to get tested , too . [ scene_break ] hope : it 's not up to you . bo : the hell it 's not . a transplant is dangerous for a donor . hope : without it , you 'll die . bo : well , they 'll have to come up with a different way . hope : brady , there is no other way . everyone who 's volunteering to be tested , they know the risk . they 're doing it because they l love you . they 're doing it because they ca n't imagine their life without you . i ca n't -- damn it , do not give up on me . bo : no , i 'm not giving up . caroline : you 're damn right you 're not . your father died so you could live . and if he were alive , he 'd be first in line out there to give you part of his body so you could keep on living . bo , you are his legacy , and he 's gon na live on through you . and i ca n't lose -- i ca n't lose another member of this family . do you understand me ? and i can not lose you .

[ papers rustle ] rafe : maybe not . sydney was a means to an end . arianna : okay ... [ stammers ] [ exhales ] is it possible that you could just be , i do n't know , a little paranoid ? rafe : ari ... this is n't about the money . i do n't even think that the money mattered . this whole thing was just set up , especially at the end , to hurt . arianna : okay , well , god knows that there 's a ton of people who hate the dimeras , right ? rafe : no , no , no , i 'm not even talking about ej . i 'm not talking about the dimeras . i think that this was set up to hurt sami .

[ sighs ] but i 'm worried . i am worried about what this is gon na do to him . victor : well , i said i 'd help . what do you need me to do ? kate : i have two goals -- one is to stop the wedding , because she is not gon na get a penny of his money . victor : and two ? kate : two you already know -- is to make her suffer . suffer intensely . victor : when 's the wedding ? kate : the wedding ? the wedding date is in the air . she 's too ethereal . she 's -- she 's too in the moment to do anything as mundane as picking a wedding date . the whole thing is so sordid , victor . she breaks off the engagement , she drives lucas to drink , and then suddenly she 's running back to him , declaring her undying love , and he 's so wrapped up into her , i have no idea how to even begin to make him see what she really is , aside from telling him the truth . and he 's gon na be so humiliated . victor : listen , humiliated is better than being married to her . hell , botulism is better than being married to her . kate : [ sighs ] so telling him the truth is the only way to open his eyes . victor : i think you 're right about that . kate : you think i should just go ahead and tell him ? victor : i suggest that instead of telling him the truth , you arrange for him to find out the truth for himself . kate : [ sighs ] okay . i 'm gon na think about this . i just wonder how much time i have . chloe : is it that you do n't want us to elope , or you do n't want me to marry your father at all ? will : chloe , i 'm 16 . i 'm not gon na talk to my dad about who he marries or when he marries her . chloe : you 're right . you 're right . i 'm sorry . i was way out of line . will : look , i 'm breaking my own rule by doing this , but can i ask you a question ? chloe : sure . will : do you and my dad ever just chill ? 'cause you guys seem way too intense sometimes . chloe : yeah , you 're probably right . will : do you think it 's maybe because there 's some big problem you guys are n't talking about ? sami : what do you mean i ca n't go get grace ? that 's not your decision . rafe : i know that . sami : and i 'm trying to tell you that i ca n't keep doing this . rafe : would you just listen to me for one second ? sami : what ? rafe : all right , listen , we have some things that we need to talk about , sort through , and when i talked to your father today ... sami : what ? rafe : you can not tell him that i told you this , okay ? now , he thinks the dimeras are responsible for the mayor 's assassination and for sending that guy after you . sami : and you believed him ? rafe : yeah . sami : what is the matter with you ? i have been telling you that for months , and what , i 'm just paranoid ? i 'm just stupid ? i 'm not a man ? i do n't have a badge , so now you believe him ? rafe : you done ? okay . you were right about the dimeras , okay ? sami : no kidding . rafe : and you were right about grace . no one can know that she exists , especially the dimeras . sami : that 's what i 've been telling you , but you do n't understand . you do n't know what this feels like . i ca n't keep doing this . rafe : i know that . and more than anything in the world , i want you to have grace back in your arms . sami : really ? rafe : yes . but when that happens , when she goes home to you , it needs to be forever . chloe : i do n't know what you mean . you think i 'm hiding something ? will : no , i just think you guys are ignoring something . my dad , too . chloe : what ? will : my mom . chloe : oh . will : look , they -- it 's not -- chloe : will , you know what ? come on , sit down . um , listen ... i know what it 's like to really , really want something , but when it comes to your parents , it 's just not gon na happen . will : chloe , do you think i 'm just some dumb kid looking for a happy ending ? look , my parents , they 're supposed to be together , okay ? they have two kids together . they 're hooked together not just because of me and allie , but -- they just are . chloe : okay , but they 've both moved on . it 's not gon na happen . will : fine , good , whatever . chloe : will , hey , let 's talk about this . will : all you guys do is talk and talk and talk , okay ? and you do n't change anything . lucas : you just seem to be talking in circles . you know what i mean ? like , `` maybe you should do this , lucas . `` or `` you do n't have to listen to me . take my advice . oh , you know , maybe you should n't take my advice . `` daniel : if this is upsetting to you -- lucas : it 's not upsetting . it 's confusing to me , all right ? spit it out . be honest with me . obviously , you have something to say and you 're searching for the right words . just say it , man . english is my first language . daniel : all right . then here 's my take on this . chloe is a really private person . there is a lot going on -- lucas : i know she 's -- daniel : let me finish . lucas : all right , i 'm sorry . daniel : do n't try and just figure out everything about her or put things in a timetable , like why she wants to elope . she may not even know the reason herself , but trying to make her explain everything to you -- it 's gon na make her defensive , so just -- just back away from that . lucas : i tried to do that . i tried to back away , and she ran away from me . daniel : yeah , think about the fact that she wants to marry you . you , all right ? so -- so -- so the how and the why -- is it really that important ? she 's not taking vows lightly . that 's not what this is about . it 's not . she is just trying to lay things out there for you . and if she ca n't tell you why she does n't want a big wedding or why she wants to do this so quickly , is it worth losing her over that ? if i had someone like her in my life , there was nothing she could do that -- i would never ... risk losing her . never . kate : oh , my god . you know , i do n't want to speak against lucas , but he has had a string of romantic disasters , and i 'm really starting to resent the fact that i have to be so careful about his feelings , that i have to protect his fragile pride . victor : oh , he has pride ? kate : hmm . i just do n't want to play games anymore . i just want to tell him that she 's a conniving little slut and mommy will not let you marry her . victor : and then he 'll never speak to you again . kate : i know . i know . i know . i 'm back to the old strategies . i 'm going to have to arrange a way for him to discover the truth , and then i 'm going to have to make sure that i am sympathetic and shocked . i do n't know , victor . i think it might just be less exhausting to shoot her . victor : now think about it , kate . you shoot her , she just suffers for a moment , whereas you can arrange for her to live the rest of her life in sorrow and humiliation . kate : oh , you always know exactly what to say to make me feel better . victor : the first thing you need to decide is how you 're going to arrange for lucas to find out the truth . kate : yes , i know . but i think i have had a moment of clarity . i think i know what i need to do . victor : chloe , you 're not gon na know what hit you . chloe : will . will : chloe , look , we ca n't possibly have anything else to talk about . chloe : okay , i - i just wanted to say that i 'm really glad that you 're back . and i hope if i really , really promise to never talk again , that maybe we can be friends . will : you know , i always kind of liked you , chloe . chloe : really ? not so much anymore ? will : i just -- i do n't understand why you 'd ever want to be a part of this family . but if you still do , call my stupid dad . chloe : you do n't want to keep looking for your phone ? will : i 'll get it later . chloe : [ sighs ] wow . he 'd rather stick needles in his eyes than talk to me . the thing is , though , he 's right . lucas : all right , daniel , tell me . why do you care about chloe so much ? daniel : `` why `` ? maybe because i was there when she thought you were dead . maybe because i was there when she was by your bed when she thought you had killed yourself by drinking so much . and maybe because i was there when she said she would give your mother bone marrow right after i told her how dangerous it was . and maybe , just maybe , you could cut her a freakin ' break after everything she 's done for you . now , i hope it 's not too painful for you to fly first - class to vegas and marry this beautiful woman , even if you do n't know the deep , psychological reasons why she wants to do that . who cares ? if you do n't go find chloe and tell her , `` i will do whatever you want , baby , `` you are an idiot . sami : you really mean that , do n't you ? rafe : yes . are you kidding ? of course i mean that . now , listen -- since i talked to your dad , i 've been thinking . you hated being stuck in that safe house . you hated not being able to see your kids or do the things that you wanted to do . sami : yeah . rafe : and they 're responsible for that -- the dimeras . they did that to you then . they 're doing it to you now . and you still ca n't see grace , and ... then there 's johnny . he spends half the time with this family that you have every reason to despise . what about e.j . ? you ca n't say things or see people because you 're gon na upset this precious guy . sami : yeah , yeah , maybe -- maybe it 's not just about him . rafe : no , it is him , okay ? a man would walk out of that house , he would -- he would say goodbye to a father like that . sami : oh , come on . you do n't understand . rafe : i do n't unders -- all right , fine . you know what ? let 's not go there , then . e.j . -- he 's a swell guy , right ? but still , you are being held captive by the dimera family . sami : you 're right . rafe : yeah . and that 's no way for you to live . it 's no way for anyone to live . sami : well , what am i supposed to do ? i mean , i ca n't leave salem . johnny and allie are here . and -- and i ca n't go get grace . i mean , you just proved that . rafe : well , not yet . but there 's something that we can do to change all of that . sami : what ? rafe : take the dimeras down . we prove what they did to the mayor , what they did to you . we break them . we break them so that we can get you free so that you can have your life back . nicole : well , that was way , way , way overdue . e.j . : yeah . i might even say it was worth the wait , though . nicole : was it really ? e.j . : you really have to ask ? nicole : [ chuckles ] e.j . : [ laughs ] nicole : oh , it 's just these last few months ... e.j . : have been wonderful . stop it . look , we 've just had this -- we have a daughter . we have a daughter , and she 's right over there . we created that . and now we 're getting married . i think it 's scary to be this happy sometimes . nicole : so ... you really are happy ? e.j . : if you ask me that question again , i 'm gon na tickle you . i 'm not kidding . nicole : do n't tickle me . e.j . : i 'll tickle you . nicole : do n't do it . are you happy ? [ laughing ] no , i 'm kidding . i 'm kidding . no . no , do n't , do n't , do n't , don't . oh , i can tell . i can see it . i can see it in your eyes when you look at me . it 's just i ... all that time i schemed and planned and had to have things or i would just die . i never imagined this -- the man i love and a -- and a baby i love . and i just -- i do n't think i need anything else . e.j . : are you sure ? you know , there was this one thing i was gon na get you , but you 're right . you probably do n't want it . nicole : what ? e.j . : it 's tiny . you would n't even want it . i would n't worry about it . nicole : what ? tell me . come on , tell me . e.j . : okay , okay . it 's this little ring , and it goes on your finger when you get married . do you want that ? nicole : okay . if you insist . and you know what ? i also like mansions and shoes and dresses and a car and a pony . [ chuckles ] e.j . : do me a favor , sweetheart ? will you promise you 'll never change ? never change . nicole : i promise . i feel so secure with you , e.j . i have everything i ever wanted . and no one 's gon na take that away from me again . sami : rafe , that is the sweetest thing ever . rafe : it 's the only way . sami : but you have to know that we have tried that , right ? i mean , you know my dad , my uncle , everyone -- we have tried to take him down . we 've tried to make him pay for everything that he has done to us . rafe : yeah ? this time . sami : i believe in you . and -- and i know it can happen , but -- but what if it takes forever , you know ? i mean , i ca n't be away from grace for that long waiting . rafe : okay . well , what if the dimeras find out that you have e.j . 's child ? sami : what if they find out i have a child , but they do n't find out it 's e.j . ? rafe : what ? sami : what if i adopt ? i mean , that happens all the time . i could say that i met this baby in the convent that i really bonded with because i missed my kids . and lucas will think it 's because i lost a baby . rafe : and you do n't think that e.j . 's gon na be suspicious ? sami : he 'll be busy with his own baby . and -- and we will be really careful . rafe : `` we `` ? sami : well , yeah , we . i ... ca n't do it without you . come on . when i went into the witness - protection program and i thought it was ... perfect , you know , a way to hide my pregnancy . i thought it was gon na be so easy . and then ... rafe : what ? sami : well , it was the hardest thing i ever had to do , being away from my kids , and it was just horrible being separated from them . rafe : yeah , i kind of picked up on that . sami : but now i 'm back , and i 'm with them again , and i know that they 're okay , and i know they remember me and that they are happy , so ... rafe : so ... what ? sami : so ... the best part is that i -- i met you . chloe : so , i guess you turned your phone off , but i just wanted to say that i 'm so sorry that i freaked out earlier and what i said to you , and if i could just talk to you in person ... please , lucas , i just wanted to ask you if i can have another chance , okay ? lucas : i was just about to ask you the same question . kate : hey . thanks for waiting . daniel : yeah , hey . what -- what is it ? what -- are you all right ? kate : i heard from a very reliable source that chloe is having an affair with another man . tell me it 's not true . rafe : all right . sami : is something wrong ? rafe : what ? no . no . sami : god , i 'm sorry . i moved to fast , and i 'm embarrassed . i did n't mean to say -- rafe : no , sami , it 's -- it 's not that . it 's not that at all . i just , uh -- there 's some things that i need to work out today , so ... will : you 're still here ? sami : will , hi . um , yeah . no -- i mean , obviously i left and came back . hey , i want you to meet rafe hernandez . this is my son will , rafe . will : hey . sami : he 's the one who was protecting me when i was in the witness - protection program . rafe : yeah , it 's nice to meet you . heard a lot about you . will : great . i love fbi agents knowing all about me . rafe : well , i 'm not an agent anymore , so [ chuckles ] do n't worry , kid . it 's , uh -- it 's all good stuff . she 's real proud of you . will : well , she must have been making stuff up , then . sami : never mind will . he has his father 's sense of humor . rafe : [ chuckles ] will : well , i 'll see you guys around . sami : no , hey , will , why do n't we hang out ? we could go get coffee or something . will : uh , maybe later . three 's a crowd , right ? rafe : well , no . i was actually just leaving . sami : you were ? rafe : yes , i was . i told you i 've got stuff i need to work out . sami : i did n't think you meant right now . rafe : hey . we 'll talk later , okay ? sami : yeah . rafe : you 'll be okay . sami : um , thank you . i feel a lot better now . rafe : good . will , nice to meet you . will : yeah , i bet he was thrilled . guys love meeting their girlfriend 's 16-year - old kid . sami : oh , come on . i 'm not his girlfriend . i mean , we 're just friends . will : `` just friends `` ? you really think i 'm gon na buy that ? chloe : i am really , really sorry . lucas : come on . you do n't have to say that . chloe : no , i screwed everything up . lucas : no , you didn't . just stop talking , all right ? just for a second . there 's something i want to tell you . i love you , and i ca n't wait to be married to you , all right ? i 'll marry you any way you want to be married . just ca n't wait for you to be mrs . lucas horton . i do n't care how we get there . daniel : well , i think someone is just trying to stir up trouble . kate : well , that 's true . she does have a long list of enemies , but , um , like i said , this source was very reliable . daniel : and that source would be ? kate : privileged . you know , i gave them my word . daniel : right . right , and this privileged source of yours , did she say , uh , how she knew about this ? kate : well , she said that she saw chloe and this man together discussing their affair . you know , the whole thing is just awful , but in a way , it makes horrible sense because it explains why she was waffling and it explains why she broke off the engagement and it explains why lucas is drinking . daniel : you think he found out ? kate : maybe . no , actually , i do n't , because i do n't think he could hide that kind of pain . i really don't . i do n't understand why she could do this , how she could do this to him . he 's -- he 's so devoted to her . he 's given her absolutely everything . daniel : well , she gave you something , too . kate : excuse me ? daniel : well , you already said she gave you your life back . so no matter what the truth is , do n't you think you might owe her a little goodwill ? kate : so you do think it 's true . daniel : i did n't say that . kate : well , i think it is . i think it explains a lot . daniel : well , did this source say who the man was ? kate : no . they just said that they were very familiar , and , um , it was n't casual . it was very intense . daniel : really ? kate : yeah . you know , it 's -- it 's kind of funny . you 'll probably laugh at this , but when they described it , the first name that popped into my mind was yours . sami : i keep thinking about when i was 16 and how my mom always used to say to me that she could n't wait for me to have my own 16-year - old to deal with someday . will : nice try . you do n't think i noticed how you 're trying to change the subject ? sami : fair enough . rafe was guarding me when i was in the witness - protection program . we were together every day in that safe house . he was protecting me , looking out for me . we 're friends . will : and coconspirators . sami : what ? will : that goodbye just now , it was a little too intense for just friends . sami : wow , okay . i 'll admit , it 's sort of awkward talking to your 16-year - old son about your personal life . will : try talking to your dad 's fiancée . sami : you were trying to talk to chloe ? will : who told me that dad 's moved on , and i guess you have , too . sami : and that bothers you . will : ah . i - i do n't know . it 's got nothing to do with me . sami : i hated being 16 , too . will : look , you know , dad and chloe -- i do n't get it . i mean , i think that they 're -- they 're really weird , but ... i 'm not worried about them . sami : but you 're worried about me and rafe ? will : i 'm not stupid , and i 've seen this before . rafe : the anti - terror task force . that 's , um -- well , that 's quite an honor , sir . rafe : quite an honor . sami : we will be really careful . rafe : `` we `` ? sami : well , yeah , we . i ... ca n't do it without you . rafe : you wo n't have to . chloe : i 'm really happy to hear you say that , but ... lucas : but ... chloe : i do n't want to just roll over you . lucas : i do n't know about that . that sounds kind of fun to me . chloe : [ chuckles ] no , i 'm being serious . i want to work things out with you . lucas : all right , all right . um , i 'll make demands , then . i 'll put some demands on this table right now . you have to show up to this wedding , and you have to say `` i do `` when it comes time to say `` i do . `` you think you can handle that ? chloe : yeah , i think so . lucas : well , then i 'm good . i 'm okay with anything else that happens . chloe : well , the thing is , will said to me earlier -- lucas : will said what ? chloe : oh , i - i 'm sorry . i was so nuts that i was talking to will about all this . well , actually , i was talking and he was squirming . lucas : yeah , right . i can only imagine . chloe : well , he said that it 's probably really important to have your family around when we get married . lucas : it 'd be nice , but all i need is you . as long as i have you , i 'm good . did n't you listen to my demands just now ? chloe : well , earlier this afternoon , you asked me why i wanted to elope , and we can talk about that . lucas : you know what ? i do n't want to talk about it anymore . i just want to enjoy you . daniel : you thought of me . why would you do that ? kate : because it makes sense . you know , when i , um , gave you your -- i do n't know -- what is the best euphemism for that ? when i gave you your freedom , you , uh -- you must have been bereft , unfulfilled . and as i remember , i kept on asking you what was going on between you and chloe . you remember that ? you were both tense and you were irritable . daniel : and from that , you deduced an affair . kate : you 're not tense and irritable anymore . daniel : we got to like each other . kate : is that it ? daniel : kate , you act like you want this to be true . why ? after everything chloe 's done for you , and think about how unhappy lucas would be if he heard you talking like this . kate : he 's not gon na hear it . not from me . daniel : then why do n't you just forget you heard it ? let it be . let chloe and lucas be happy . kate : do you really think they can be ? daniel : yeah . yeah , i do . kate : really , daniel ? you see , i would have thought a man like you would have fought for her . nicole : i ca n't believe this is all mine . thank you . [ cellphone vibrates ] yes ? what do you want ? why are you calling me here ? sami : i do n't know what you 're talking about . will : yeah , you do . just now , the two of you , you 're up to something and you 're getting him to help you . sami : will , everything is fine . will : you always say that . whatever you 're up to , whatever 's going on , it 's gon na go wrong just like it always does . rafe : hi , my name 's rafael hernandez , and i 'd like to -- yeah , yeah , it 's great to hear your voice again , too . uh , listen , i ca n't tell you how much the offer means to me , but i 'm gon na have to pass . [ chuckles ] yeah , that 's right . i 'm gon na stay right here in salem . lucas : mm . wow . i think we do that better than talking , do n't you ? chloe : maybe you 're right . lucas : that would be a first , would n't you say ? chloe : oh , stop it . i love how you make jokes to get us past the bad places , but , seriously , i want you to know that i really , really love you . and i 'm gon na do my best to be the kind of wife that you deserve . lucas : you know what this makes me think ? chloe : what ? lucas : makes me think that i made the right choice . on the way home , i stopped and reserved the jet . we 're going to vegas tonight -- you and me . chloe : really ? really ? lucas : yeah . what do you say , miss lane ? you want to take a trip with me ? chloe : oh , my god , lucas . thank you . thank you . daniel : what the hell did you say to me ? kate : it was an interrogation technique to see if it was really you . daniel : you got a lot of nerve . you know that ? kate : yes , i do . and that was very , very wrong of me . after everything we 've been through ... are we still friends ? daniel : i do n't know . kate : well , then , i 'll make it very simple , very honest , and direct . are you now or have you ever been involved with chloe ? philip : say ta - ta to your eurotrash loverboy 'cause i 'm gon na tell him everything i know about your sleazy affair with brady . kate : what if what they heard was really out of context ? daniel : what if it was n't ? kate : so you 're admitting that you 're having an affair with chloe ? lucas : it 's gon na be you and me for the rest of our lives . | nicole surprises ej with a romantic evening in bed . she gets a mysterious and unwanted phone call . kate talks over how to get revenge on chloe with victor and he suggests she arrange it so lucas finds out the truth on his own . rafe wants to work with sami to bring down the dimeras so he turns down the task force job offer . both chloe and sami separately convince will that his parents wo n't be getting back together but will is sure that the pairing of rafe and sami will lead to disaster . daniel convinces lucas to give in to chloe 's desires to elope and lucas hires a jet to fly to vegas tonight . kate confronts daniel about the affair with chloe . |
sami : um , look , i just , uh , came to talk to you 'cause i -- agent clark : give me that again . you 're sure about that ? sami : i just came to apologize . clark : you did ? dave , you are the man . uh , okay , give me everything you got . sami : rafe , can you take a break for a second ? rafe : not right now . sami : it 's really important . [ scene_break ] vivian : go ahead . do everyone a favor . jump . [ scene_break ] ej : you know , you were very fair to me when sydney went missing . i 'm sure that did n't make things easy with your brother . arianna : rafe and i are okay . ej : good . i appreciate the support . thank you . arianna : you look ... a lot better . happier . ej : yeah . no , life is good . i mean , life is great . arianna : yeah . ej : and you , how are things with you ? arianna : i 'm fine . ej : [ laughs ] look , i , um ... i did n't just come down here to thank you . i , uh ... i also had something else that i wanted to discuss with you . [ scene_break ] nicole : so they still do n't know who took her ? who gave her back to ej ? chloe : i do n't know . brady did n't have any of the details . nicole : [ sighs ] you know , chloe , when i first woke up at the hospital and realized that -- that someone took sydney , i ... i have been racking my brain , trying to remember anything , anything at all that would tell me who did it . chloe : any luck ? nicole : [ sighs ] no , it 's ... it 's just a big blank . i do n't know what happened to my little girl . i ... there was nothing i could do to help her , chloe , and this is all my fault . [ scene_break ] sami : well , you did n't come home last night . that seems important . rafe : well , you know , i do n't like sleeping under the same roof as ej , okay ? sami : well , neither do i . rafe : really ? sami : sydney does , and you should have seen her with him . and after everything that that little girl has been through , you know , i just thought -- rafe : all right , look , sami , i get to , okay ? i do . clark : hold on , dave . i 'm trying to write all this down . sami : can we just talk privately ? rafe : look , i understand that this is important to you , okay ? but this call right here , this could be a break in the case that i 'm working on , all right ? sami : okay . okay , this can wait . rafe : you sure ? sami : my dad is a cop . i get it , you 're , you know , in the middle of something , so i 'll be at home . if you do n't mind , just come when you can , okay ? rafe : okay . clark : i will not forget this , dave . rafe : did you say dave ? clark : president of our board of realtors . rafe : yeah , right . i thought he was n't cooperating . clark : well , he was n't , so i went down to see him this morning with , uh , the top button of my blouse undone . [ laughs ] what ? no , the guy thinks he 's a player , and it worked . rafe : how ? clark : dave got me a list of every new lease in the last six months within range of the new cell phone tower right outside of town . rafe : oh , my god . clark : that 's what you wanted , right ? rafe : yes , that is -- good work . sami : hey ! hey ! wait a second ! what is this about , this case ? rafe : sami , please . sami : this is about sydney , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] victor : good to speak to you , too , governor . yeah , i look forward to catching up . maybe we 'll have time before dinner . all right , we 'll see you then . so what 's so important you could n't talk to me on the phone ? sit down . is it melanie ? is she all right ? daniel : yeah . no , yeah , yeah . she 's , uh -- she 's making a good recovery . victor : so , what is it ? daniel : well , yesterday , you asked me , um ... what melanie was to me . daniel : yeah . you said she was just a patient . daniel : well , that 's not true . victor : oh , i thought so . so how long you been sleeping with her ? daniel : oh ! come on , please . victor : do n't take that high moral tone with me . she was no prude when she married my son . god knows you 're not . daniel : okay , i 'm her father . [ scene_break ] chloe : nicole , it is not all your fault . besides , sydney 's back now . nicole : but they still do n't know who took her , and i should . i should have known from the beginning , since i 'm the one they hit in the back of the head and took her from . it 's just -- it 's buried in my damn subconscious . chloe : well , you said you remembered something about designer boots , right ? nicole : no , it was a voice . chloe : well , what about it ? nicole : i 've heard it before , and for the life of me , i ca n't place it , and that 's what 's killing me . if i could just put a name to the voice , then i could put that psychopath away forever . and if there is a god , she will be put in the same cell with me . [ scene_break ] anna : ej 's right . you better not have left anything behind , honey , 'cause if they trace you , you 're gon na be in a world of trouble . [ scene_break ] rafe : agent clark ? clark : yeah ? rafe : you think you can go work on that new information we just got ? clark : okay , sure . sami : so this big case you 're dealing with right now , it 's about sydney , is n't it ? rafe : all i can tell you is i 'm still working on it . sami : and you 'll be that much closer to solving it if i had n't kept the information from you . rafe : sami , we 've been over and over this , have n't we ? sami : no , actually . you keep changing the subject , but i think that 's why you did n't come home last night . rafe : okay . you think maybe we can just let it go ? sami : no . rafe : you know how many kidnappings do n't have a happy ending like we had ? do you ? because i do . sydney is home , and she is safe . that 's what you should be thinking about . sami : that 's a nice thing to say . rafe : i 'm a nice guy . sami : i know you are , and i am happy that sydney is back . of course , i am . but i can see through you and all the stuff you are doing , and i can see that i hurt you . [ scene_break ] arianna : so what do you want to discuss with me ? ej : well , i feel that i have got to know you a little bit since , uh , sydney was abducted , and i like what i see . arianna : you like what you see . did this conversation suddenly get , like , a little creepy ? ej : no . i 'd like you to come and work for me . [ scene_break ] victor : you better not be playing with me . daniel : i 'm not . victor : good god . are you out of your mind ? daniel : victor . victor , i -- victor : tell me that you sold sperm to pay your way through medical school . tell me that it somehow found its way into carly manning 's turkey baster . make an old man happy . tell me at least that you did n't sleep with that female puff adder . daniel : i 'm sorry , i ca n't do that . victor : and yet you 're still here . i thought black widows devoured their mates when they were done with them . daniel : it was a one - night thing . victor : well , at least tell me you were drunk . daniel : well , we were both , uh , within a bad place , yeah . victor : well , you certainly were , that 's for sure . daniel : well , we decided that we 'd be better off as friends . victor : oh , yeah ? and how 'd that work out for you ? daniel : well , for me ? pretty well . 'cause shortly after that , carly introduced me to ... to rebecca . victor : and when you found out carly was pregnant ? daniel : i did n't . i did n't . i heard the whole story for the first time just a few days ago . victor : and what are you doing now , passing out cigars ? daniel : i do n't know . i 'm just so frustrated with carly , i do n't know what to do . i do n't know what to do next . victor : well , my boy , you 've come to the right place . [ scene_break ] carly : i did n't hear you sneak up on me . why did n't you just shove me in the river ? vivian : oh , drowning is so quick and relatively painless . carly : so was suffocating someone with a pillow . did n't stop you from trying . vivian : i much prefer the future you arranged for yourself -- prison for shooting your own daughter .

evan : i know you 're all excited about me spending the rest of my life behind bars , but the judge just threw out my confession . lucky me . rafe : you 're lying . evan : [ scoffs ] if you need confirmation , pick up your phone , call the da . but you 'll be wasting your time . i 'm telling the truth . my admitting that i killed jordan -- it 's like it never happened . brady : [ sighs ] i just got off the phone with my dad . the cops hauled in rolf , but he 's not about to tell them where stefano 's hiding marlena . did you -- are you listening ? kristen , look , i know how you feel about marlena . but i mean , i 'm worried about her and i would -- kristen : brady . brady : what is wrong ? what is it ? what ...

what the hell does she want ? dr. raynor : you two have been through so much these past few months . and so has mackenzie . sarah : i know it usually takes a week or two for the bone marrow engraftment to begin . and i know it 's probably too early to expect mickey 's blood tests to show any improvements . eric : so what did you want to talk to us about ? dr. raynor : i told you , i ca n't keep that secret . and there 's nothing you can do or say to make me -- xander : change your mind . maybe this will help . look . look at all those zeroes . and while you 're looking at them , think about who you 're dealing with because whatever nicole told you about me , i 'm tom hanks compared to victor kiriakis . dr. raynor : i have some unexpected news for you about mackenzie . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] victor : hello , will . will : victor . victor : i heard that you moved back in after you got released from prison , yet this is the first i 've seen of you . will : it 's a big house . and also , i have been avoiding you . where 's sonny ? victor : i do n't know . i did see his car dash out of here a little earlier . i do n't know where he was going , but he was in a hurry to get there . rafe : thanks for the confirmation . sonny : how the hell did this happen ? evan : guess you heard the news . rafe : sonny -- sonny : my dad just told me that the judge threw out evan 's confession ? is that true ? evan : i just broke the news to rafe too . rafe : yeah , the da just confirmed it . sonny : why would the judge do that ? evan : because it was a coerced confession , and he knew it . sonny : that 's a load of crap . evan : is it , sonny ? i had a gun to my head , literally and figuratively . what was i supposed to do ? sonny : i ca n't believe this is happening . what does this mean ? are they gon na let him go ? sarah : what is it , amanda ? what did you want to tell us ? dr. raynor : i have good news . mackenzie 's tests show that her white blood cell count is starting to rise . sarah : [ laughs ] already ? dr. raynor : as you know , it 's rare to see such encouraging results so soon . eric : what does this mean ? sarah : it means that it 's working , that her bone marrow is producing new blood cells . eric : so her transplant was a success ? sarah : yes , it 's -- her bone marrow has already started engrafting . and this is just -- this is everything that we 've been hoping for ! it 's more than we 've been hoping for . amanda , thank you ! oh , my gosh , thank you so much for everything . dr. raynor : you do n't have to thank me . sarah : oh , gosh , yes , i do . yes , i do . i mean , you have been there for us day and night and -- eric : thank you for saving our daughter 's life . nicole : i assume dr . raynor wants to update eric and sarah on mackenzie 's condition . she is the baby 's doctor , after all . xander : i 'm gon na find out . nicole : hey . i just said she wants to speak to them privately . xander : why ? what 's the big secret ? nicole : there is no secret . you 're just not one of the parents . what 's going on with you ? xander : me ? nicole : why you acting so nervous ? does this have something to do with the argument i saw between you and dr . raynor earlier ? xander : it was n't an argument . nicole : oh , it was n't ? well , it certainly seemed like an argument . xander : as i said , i was just trying to make sure that mackenzie is getting the best possible care . nicole : yeah , i know what you told me . but i heard her say something about a secret . xander : what ? nicole : i did n't say anything before , but i know what i heard . xander : did you ask her about it ? nicole : she said she was referring to doctor - patient confidentiality . xander : well then , there 's your answer . nicole : mmm , except she was sweating bullets . and i 'm pretty good at spotting when someone is lying to me , like the way you are lying to me right now . xander : i do n't know what to tell you , nicole . nicole : well , you better figure it out , because i 'm staying right here until you tell me what 's really going on . so yeah , depression . rafe : even without the confession , i doubt the judge would let evan walk . dna evidence -- evan : is totally circumstantial . rafe : ben weston was convicted on circumstantial evidence . sonny : so the charges against evan have n't been dropped . evan : not yet . my lawyer is in court as we speak arguing that they should be . i 'm optimistic the judge will do the right thing . sonny : the right thing is that you should go to prison for the rest of your life . evan : you do n't mean that , sonny . not after everything we 've meant to each other . sonny : are you kidding me ? you son of a bitch . you think you 're gon na get away with this ? you 're not gon na get away with this . evan : i 'm so sorry . sonny : what if they set him free ? we 're not gon na let that happen ! rafe : why do n't you go outside and cool down ? sonny : what about him ? evan : i 'm plenty cool . rafe : he 's not going anywhere just yet , all right ? sonny : fine . i 'll go wait in the hallway . evan : hey , sonny , hold on . i just want you to know . i still care about you . and i always will . victor : i take it you and sonny are calling off the divorce . will : yes , indeed . disappointed ? victor : i have no animus for you , will . will : except for the whole allowing - me - to - rot - in- prison - for - the - rest - of - my- life - for - a - crime- i - did n't - commit thing . victor : that was n't personal . i was protecting maggie . will : well , i guess it was all for nothing though , was n't it ? because maggie ended up remembering what she did on her own anyway . victor : she should have kept it to herself . i could have protected her . will : [ sighs ] victor , you need to understand that just because i was willing to keep quiet for maggie does not mean that i forgive you for what you did . i spent the better part of a year in there , separated from my daughter and my husband . but worse than that was the oppressive crushing guilt that i felt because i thought i had killed my husband 's mother . can you understand that ? do you feel any guilt ? victor : i have no regrets for what i did . will : well , maybe you should because while i was in prison , sonny shacked up with a murderer . victor : and you think sonny 's relationship with evan was my fault ? will : i think what you and xander did had consequences , not just for sonny and me but for a lot of people in this town . and the effects of that are gon na be felt for a long time , victor . dr. raynor : this is very good news . and you should celebrate . but remember , this is only mackenzie 's first step in a very long road to recovery . sarah : of course . eric : we 're just thrilled that the procedure was successful . dr. raynor : this is the toughest little girl i 've ever seen . eric : yeah , well , she takes after her mother . dr. raynor : i 'm sure she does . well , i will leave you two alone with your -- with mickey . sarah : thank you again . thank you so , so much . [ soft dramatic music ] eric : [ sighs ] does this mean what i think it means ? sarah : [ laughs ] if it 's like she said , we do -- we still have a long road ahead of us , but ... this is the first time in months that i 've had faith and i really believe that our little girl is gon na live . [ laughs ] brady : where did you get this ? kristen : i requested a copy , and it arrived today . brady : why would you want rachel 's death certificate ? kristen : because . because i have never seen it , and i needed to . it 's not supposed to be this way , is it ? brady : like what ? kristen : you know , all this pain just all the time . you know , the feeling of loss . it 's worse instead of better . and i keep trying to figure out why . and i -- i really think it 's because of mackenzie . i do . brady : what do you mean , mackenzie ? kristen : well , being at the hospital , knowing that she is fighting for her life , just like rachel did . and i keep having that same dream . brady : the dream where you were in the hospital and you were looking for rachel and you ca n't find her ? kristen : yeah , yeah . and i mean , for the first few months after her death , i had a dream that i was -- i was holding her in my arms and i was playing with her . and now the dream has changed , and ... [ sighs ] she 's not in my arms . i 'm not holding her . she 's gone . she 's gone , brady . you know , and i know that i am blessed that i got to hold her for those few precious moments . i am . but that memory , it 's just -- it 's just fading away little by little . and i am starting -- i 'm starting to forget her . and that 's why this is so important because it ... reminds me . brady : kristen , kristen , this is a piece of paper . kristen : no . brady : that 's all it is . kristen : no , no , no , no . brady , it 's not . this is proof that she was here .

[ laughs ] brady : her eyes . do you see her eyes at all ? kristen : i do . i do . they 're -- they 're blue and they 're gray . oh , they 're just too big for her face . brady : of course they are . they 're supposed to be . is there anything else ? anything else you remember about the way she looks ? kristen : oh , my god . yes , yes . on her neck -- on her neck , just below her chin , there 's a mark . brady : like a birthmark ? kristen : yeah . oh . and it 's the shape of a heart , brady . [ laughs ] sarah : there 's that heart - shaped little birthmark of yours . it 's like god put it there just to remind you how loved you are . [ baby cooing ] yes . eric : hey . i hope i 'm not interrupting . sarah : oh , no . we 're just having a little girl chat . eric : yeah , well , carry on . sarah : do you hear that , mickey ? you hear how kind your daddy is ? and you know what ? he loves you so much . yes , you 're very lucky to have him . eric : [ chuckles ] no . i 'm the lucky one . sarah : you know what 's so funny ? when you were born , i did n't even notice that little birthmark of yours just with everything going on -- it 's probably why when xander brought you back to me , i thought that you could n't possibly be the same baby . [ laughs ] eric : you never told me that . sarah : what ? no , 'cause it does n't make any sense . i mean , obviously , she 's ours . i just , you know -- you had that birthmark all along , did n't you ? mommy was just too tired to notice it . yeah . [ laughs ] yeah . victor : has the situation with the doctor been taken care of or not ? xander : raynor took the money like i told you . and i made myself very clear that she has to leave town . but i just saw her at the hospital . victor : she 's still in salem ? xander : could n't confront her with nicole right there . and then she just took off on me . victor : oh . she could ruin everything . you know , if the truth comes out , it 's not just maggie that goes down . we do too . xander : you think this is news to me ? victor : you 're not sounding like someone who 's appreciative of the severity of the situation . do you want her to find out that 's not her baby ? xander : of course not . victor : well , then get back down to the hospital and forget about mr . nice guy . be the devious bastard that you are and take care of the situation with the doctor once and for all . [ singing indistinctly ] will : evan 's confession was tossed ? they ca n't use it ? sonny : looks that way . will : so what -- does that mean he 's going to walk ? sonny : evan 's lawyer is trying to get his case thrown out , right , and the judge is deliberating . so we just have to hope that the dna evidence is enough . will : yeah , but that just proves he was there , not that he killed jordan . oh , my god . sonny : what is it ? will : they stopped ben 's execution based on evan 's confession . i was just with him . he 's expecting to get released any moment . i mean , does this mean he 's not getting out ? kristen : it worked . [ laughs ] it really worked . i was there . and i was holding rachel in my arms -- the perfect moment . brady : i 'm glad . kristen : brady , thank you . thank you for giving me that sweet , sweet memory back . brady : come here . [ door opens ] nicole : [ clears throat ] kristen : what are you doing here ? nicole : oh , cute . i work here , remember ? making a mess . [ laughs , snorts ] kristen : would you excuse me ? let me go to the ladies room . brady : okay . nicole : was it something i said ? brady : is there any update on mackenzie ? nicole : [ gasps ] yes ! as a matter of fact , her blood count is way up . the bone marrow transplant worked . brady : oh , that 's great . that 's great . eric and sarah must be so happy about that . nicole : yeah , they are . it 's a miracle . brady : ah . nicole : i know i 'm gon na regret asking this , but what 's up with kristen ? brady : the memories of our daughter were becoming more and more distant for her and she was afraid that she was going to lose them completely . i mean , nicole , she only got to hold rachel for a couple minutes after she was born . nicole : well , at least she did get to be with her . brady : i know , and then we get to hold on to that , but i was helping her relive those minutes and make her remember . and i was really surprised at what we were able to recall about our little girl in that short amount of time . i mean , her mouth , her eyes -- she even remembered that rachel had a very faint heart - shaped birthmark on her neck . [ elevator dings ] xander : hello , doctor . [ sinister music ] where do you think you 're going ? dr. raynor : i realized i had left something in a patient 's room . xander : it 'll have to wait . we 're gon na stop here for a minute .

[ elevator dings ] xander : you should know there have been discussions about a more permanent solution . dr. raynor : you mean -- xander : i 'm the one who 's been advocating for your safety . but as you 're aware , victor kiriakis is a very dangerous man . so if you do n't do the right thing , i 'll have no choice but to find some other way to compel your silence . rafe : the judge has declined to drop the charges against evan . sonny : thank god . that 's awesome . will : that 's great . rafe : yeah , but hold on . it 's a bit more complicated than that . sonny : how did i know it would be ? will : why ? what is it ? evan : guess who just made bail ? sarah : xander , it 's me . where are you ? you just -- call me back when you get this message ? so weird . eric : maybe he 's in a meeting with titan . sarah : maybe . i 'm gon na go track him down . i want to tell him the good news . are you okay to stay ? eric : we 're fine , go . i 'll see you later . sarah : thank you . eric : oh , my sweet little angel , it 's just you and me . you know , i know i missed the first six months of your life , but i promise you . i 'm not gon na miss another minute anymore . brady : i sent shirley into the ladies ' room to look for kristen , and she 's not there . where 'd she go ?

did they fix it ? is my project -- do you have it ? brady : no , no , and no . it 's a total disaster , melanie . melanie : great . great . nicole : this is not a good time . philip : i do n't give a damn . you made me a promise . nicole : all right , if this is about this stupid fuels project , i had nothing to do with it . philip : every single file was erased , nicole . nicole : well , i 'm sorry . that 's not my fault . philip : the only hard copy we had -- destroyed . nicole : all right , how does e.j . have anything to do -- why do you think e.j . has anything to do with this ? philip : are you kidding me ? this was n't some two - bit hacker . this was industrial espionage at its finest , which only means one thing -- dimera . nicole : e.j . certainly did n't have anything to do with this . philip : all bets are off , nicole , so say `` ta - ta `` to your eurotrash lover boy , 'cause i 'm gon na tell him everything i know about your sleazy affair with brady . nicole : it 's not tr -- kate : oh , dear . i think i 've made you uncomfortable . daniel : would n't you be uncomfortable if somebody was accusing you unfairly ? kate : how is it unfairly ? i have a reliable source . daniel : well , whoever your source is , why would they tell you about this alleged affair ? why would n't they go to chloe or lucas ? kate : probably because they do n't want to spread gossip . daniel : which is exactly what you 're doing . kate : oh , no , you see , because i trust you . daniel : then you should trust me enough to tell me who 's spreading all these rumors . kate : i ca n't do that . you see , i promised them . i would n't want to get anyone in trouble . besides , what if what they heard was really out of context ? daniel : huh . and what if it was n't ? kate : so , you 're admitting that you 're having an affair with chloe ? daniel : i 'm not admitting a damn thing . but whatever anyone thinks they saw between me and chloe , um ... kate : `` um `` what ? daniel : i was her doctor . someone could have seen us at the hospital talking together and completely misconstrued what was actually going on . kate : yeah , that 's true . they could have . daniel : yeah . kate : except for the fact that my source said that they saw chloe and her man somewhere else . you see , daniel , my son got drunk and nearly killed himself . and all he had found out was that chloe was breaking up with him . so , if he found out that she was having sex with another man ... i 'm afraid to think of what he might do ... because i 'm afraid not just for his happiness -- i 'm afraid for his life . chloe : when did you talk to daniel ? lucas : i ran into him at the cheatin ' heart . ca n't forget this camera , honey . we need this , okay ? chloe : yeah , so , what 'd you guys talk about ? lucas : well , you , mostly -- vegas , eloping , how i was n't too down with it . chloe : oh , and , what , he encouraged you to do it ? lucas : well , yeah , kind of -- said , you know , it does n't matter where you get married . as long as you love each other , that 's the only thing that matters . chloe : he really said that ? lucas : yes , he really said that . why does that surprise you ? chloe : oh , no , it does n't . i just , uh ... lucas : what , you think it 's weird that daniel 's happy for us ? chelsea : i do n't -- i do n't want either one of us to get hurt , max , and that 's what 's gon na happen if -- max : if what ? chelsea : i 'm not ready to talk about this , but i 'll call you when i am , okay ? max : now , hold on a second . how would you react if i just walked out on you , hmm -- i told you it was over and that i refused to talk about it until i was ready ? that would n't go over very well with you , would it ? i did n't think so . if i did something to upset you or if you want your freedom to be with somebody else , then that 's fine . just tell me . chelsea : you did n't do anything , and i do n't want to be with anyone else . max : then what ? chelsea : i , um -- i heard you talking to will . max : to will ? how did you -- chelsea : i was -- i was there earlier . you did n't see me . i left , and then i came back . max : okay . what did you hear ? chelsea : you could n't wait to be a dad someday . max : yeah , so ? chelsea : i can never give you that , max . not that i 'm assuming we would end up together , but if we did ... i mean , i could just picture you now wanting to coach your kids in baseball and soccer and being so kind and sweet with them , and it 's just something that you 're gon na have to do , and ... i ca n't give it to you . max : no . you do n't get to tell me what i want or what 's important to me now or in the future , okay ? so , stop picturing me doing anything and listen up , okay ? this is not your decision , chelsea . this is my decision . i 'm gon na tell you what i want and what matters to me the most , okay , and you 're gon na have to listen up . philip : ugh . stephanie : i brought caffeine . still nothing ? philip : [ sighs ] thank you . stephanie : do n't we have a hard copy of the fuels project somewhere ? philip : if i had a hard copy , why the hell would i be sitting in front of my computer ? you think i 'm a complete idiot ? stephanie : sorry . that was lame . philip : someone burned the one and only hard copy we had . stephanie : what did bo say ? philip : you think i 'd tell my brother about this ? stephanie : maybe he can help , try to figure out what happened , figure out who did it . philip : yeah . yeah , then the whole world will know , including my father . he can call me on the carpet and humiliate me before he bounces me out of here on my butt . sounds like a plan , steph . e.j . : sweetheart . nicole : shh , honey . it 's okay . go back to sleep . e.j . : where are you going ? nicole : i 'm out of formula , and i want to get to the store before sydney wakes up . e.j . : have mary get some formula , darling . nicole : no , e.j . e.j . : listen -- nothing . sydney 's asleep . come on , she does n't need it urgently . and what i need urgently -- yeah , a little bit of something . mobile phone - does it even make financial sense to even have a land line ? melanie : oh , it 's a disaster ? so , it 's worse than we thought ? brady : why are you so concerned , mel ? let me guess . is it your undying loyalty to titan ? melanie : what 's with the attitude ? i thought we were friends . brady : well , you know what ? that was before our fuels project vanished from our mainframe . melanie : oh , i 'm sorry . you think i sabotaged the files ? brady : you ? no , no . come on . you 're honest as the day is long , the most trustworthy woman on the planet . no , why would anybody suspect you ? nicole : okay . wait here , okay ? honey , look , i 'm sorry . i just -- i really need to get to the store before sydney wakes up . where are you going ? e.j . : i 'm going to get mary and tell her to go to the store . nicole : no , e.j . every time i ask her to get formula , i swear she always gets it wrong . e.j . : darling , i promise you she 's not gon na get it wrong this time .

[ sighs ] well , i feel much better now . do you ? and the thing is , we do n't ever have to worry about chloe being jealous if we get back together again . daniel : kate , i 'm not sure where you 're going with this . kate : well , since i 've been in remission , i feel like a new woman . i really do . i mean , i -- so many things that i want to see and i want to do , and there 's a lot of time i want to make up for . i want to have you back in my life . i think we were good together . max : are you listening ? do i have your attention ? okay . it does n't make one bit of difference to me that you ca n't have your own kids . chelsea : but -- max : hold on . i 'm not finished . yes , someday i want a family -- a wife , kids . and especially since i was adopted , and so were you -- i 'm really grateful and lucky to have been adopted . and i do n't need -- i do n't need my kids to be own , as you put it . i mean , i 'd be -- i 'd be perfectly fine raising a child whose birth parents could n't raise them or take care of them or did n't want them and give them a wonderful life . chelsea : i would be , too . i mean ... you just reminded me of that . and , yeah , i would be . max : i 'm not saying that we 're definitely gon na end up together . chelsea : no , i know . it 's too soon to tell . max : i am sure of one thing , though . i do n't -- i do n't want you to tell me ... what i need or what i want ... ever again ... because i know . i know . stephanie : you really think you can keep this from your father forever , huh ? philip : i 'm sure as hell gon na try .

[ scene_break ] abigail : you keep sticking up for carrie , but the truth is , she stopped giving a damn about austin the second that they moved back to salem . melanie : you do n't know that . abigail : she took a job defending john , when she knew that austin was working with the fbi to make a case against him . melanie : so ? abigail : so she was never around . she was always busy with rafe hernandez . he saw them kissing . melanie : i know that . abigail : so then stop acting like i 'm a slut . melanie : you 're not a slut . abigail : i never would 've even had a chance with austin if it was n't for carrie having this thing for rafe . i mean , melanie , austin needed someone , and i was there for him . melanie : what happens when he wants to go back to his wife ? abigail : he and i built something together -- something good , something strong . and that just is n't gon na go away . we did n't mean for it to happen , but we -- it -- it did . melanie : okay , i know you believe this . but i think you 're just seeing what you want to see -- abigail : no , no . melanie : yes ! abigail ... yes ! look , you and austin would never have happened had he not had problems with his wife . i 'm sorry . i 've been here . i 've done this . abigail : done what ? melanie : make something out of nothing . abigail : that is not what i 'm doing , melanie . melanie : i believe you love him , okay ? i do . that -- that does n't mean he loves you back . [ scene_break ] hope : ej 's the mayor . you got what you wanted . why are you doing this to us ? stefano : you are the ones that broke into a government building with just two pieces of gum and a cord , all right ? so i heard that there was something going on , so i came here to investigate . hope : with several of your goons . john : because you 're such a stickler for law and order . stefano : i think i like you better without a brain . john : oh , cut the crap , will you ? you know , we would n't even be here if it were n't for you . you set this whole thing up , and i 'm scratching my head why . was it just to go after bo ? stefano : oh , as i said , what happened to bo is as much a surprise to me as it is to you . hope : stefano , my husband needs me right now . if you have ever loved anyone in your life , please ... please do n't stop me from going to him .

[ scene_break ] abigail : why are you talking to me like this ? melanie : because i 'm your best friend , and i love you . abigail : you 're not acting like you love me . melanie : okay , um ... friends do n't let friends drive drunk . so friends also do n't let friends do things they know are gon na hurt them . abigail : you 're the one that 's hurting me right now , not austin . melanie : so austin did n't hurt you when he said he was gon na take carrie on a ski vacation ... or when he ran out after carrie after you said you slept with him ? abigail : i already told you -- melanie : stop making excuses for austin ! i know you 're hurting . i do n't care if you wo n't admit it . i know you 're hurting . but you need to stop now , because it 's just gon na get worse . [ scene_break ] carrie : what are you thinking ? rafe : [ chuckling ] just ... here we are , claiming the moral high ground because we only kissed . carrie : at least we had some self - control . rafe : mm , that does n't make it right . maybe austin would n't have done what he did if we had n't kissed . carrie : i 'm not ready to let him off the hook yet , and i 'm not ready to hear that it was my fault . rafe : no , no . that 's not what i 'm saying . it 's just ... well , i feel bad . carrie : well , do n't . you did n't make him climb into bed with another woman . rafe : yeah . so , wait . what -- what happened ? were n't you guys going away so you could spend time together and fix things and ... what , and then abigail just shows up ? oh . uh , why ? carrie : maybe she was obsessed , maybe he invited her . i do n't know -- maybe he thought it would be cool to have his wife and his girlfriend at the same hotel . rafe : you do n't really think that . carrie : i do n't know what to believe . i never thought that he would sleep with someone else . i never thought that he would stand by and let me give her love advice when , in fact , it was him that she was talking about . i 've been married to him for five years . i 've been with him most of my adult life , and ... i do n't even know him anymore . rafe : come here . it 's okay . it 's all right . [ scene_break ] austin : [ sighs ] billie , that 's -- that 's why you came back to salem . why did n't you tell me ? why did n't you tell me , sis ? billie : no , actually , bo was in the hospital already when i got back to salem . austin : i ca n't believe this happened to him . billie : and -- and what 's worse is hope 's not here . she 's out of town . she 's out of the country , and she 's having trouble getting back here , and she called the room , and i answered the phone . austin : oh , boy . billie : and then he went into cardiac arrest , and i was on the phone with hope , and the last thing she heard me say was that he was dying . and then our connection was lost , and i have not been able to get through to her to tell her that he 's doing better . austin : wow . billie : yeah . austin : if carrie was hurt , and -- and i could n't get to her , i think that i would go crazy . i 'm not so sure she would feel the same if it was me . billie : oh , come on , yes , she would . she 's incredibly , incredibly hurt right now and furious . but come on , austin , the love that you two have -- it does n't just go away ... even if somebody does something unbelievably stupid . austin : mm . [ both chuckle ] billie : i mean , it 's not the first time , right ? i mean , remember what happened with mike ? you forgave her . austin : yeah , yeah . took a while ... years , actually . billie : well , you 're just gon na have to convince her now and make her believe that you 're the same guy that she fell in love with . austin : i - i - i am . billie , i was drunk -- i - i mean , drunk out of my mind . i do n't even remember it . does n't really matter , does it ? i mean , you know me , billie . i 'm not the kind of guy that would ever ... sleep around . now i guess i am . [ scene_break ] melanie : abigail , do you understand what i 'm saying ? abigail : mel , i know that you want to help me . but how can you if you wo n't even listen to what i have to say ? melanie : what am i not hearing ? abigail : that this is a really awful time for austin right now . he 's so upset about everything with carrie , and he 's probably not thrilled with me either right now . melanie : okay , good -- you get that . abigail : yeah , i do . the way that -- that she found out -- melanie : from you . abigail : yes . that was n't great . but what kind of marriage is it if they ca n't be honest with each other ? they have way too many problems to ever work things out , anyway . trust me , he has told me all about it . so the way i see it , this is -- this is a chance for him and me . melanie : how ? abigail : because everything is ... it 's all out in the open now , and we can finally have a chance to see where we can go from here . melanie : abigail , the only thing that 's out in the open now is that you slept with a married man . abigail : he was in so much pain , melanie . melanie : did you think sleeping with him would make him feel better ? 'cause it did n't work . he does n't look a whole lot better . [ scene_break ] carrie : here we are in our office . we were gon na do so many great things together here . we had such big plans , but we -- we gave it all up because we thought we owed sammy and austin not to work together because of what we had done . maybe , uh -- maybe if we had known that she had slept with ej or that my husband was doing one of his students , maybe we would n't have been so quick to make a change . rafe : [ scoffs ] yeah . yeah . carrie : but we do know now . so what do they owe us ? what do we get ? [ scene_break ] stefano : all right , the authorities should be here any minute , and it is my understanding that the alamainian police do not believe in innocent until proven guilty . john : i 'm sorry . hope : for what ? john : my instincts told me this whole thing could backfire , but all i could think about was getting you home to bo . hope : do n't apologize , john . it 's fine . stefano : oh , my god . this is breaking my heart . john : oh , spare me . stefano : that 's exactly what i am thinking of doing . hope : what does that mean ? stefano : that means that i can direct my men to distract the police until i get you out of here . we better make it very fast . john : yeah , right into another trap . stefano : [ sighs ] what is it going to be -- the devil that you know ... or the one that you do n't ?

[ scene_break ] billie : so there 's nothing you can do to fix it . you 're just a bum , and there 's nothing you can do . austin : is n't that what you said ? billie : i did n't say there was nothing you could do . austin : you know what kind of person carrie is . i crossed a line with her that can not be uncrossed . billie : no , i do know what kind of person carrie is . she 's the first person i met when i was in salem . she was my roomie . she 's my sister - in - law , for god sakes . austin : yeah , i know . i know . i know . billie : okay , so you 're going through a bad time in your marriage , and this young , beautiful girl falls for you ... hard , and you lost your mind for a little while . austin : and it was n't even a little while . it was one night , sis -- it was one stupid night . billie : well , you 're not a serial cheater . you 're a loving husband . and carrie -- she 'll remember that , as soon as she 's done hating your guts .

[ scene_break ] melanie : abigail , i do n't care how special it felt to you . sleeping with austin was wrong , and you know it . abigail : austin had just seen carrie kissing rafe . he had been drinking . he was upset . melanie : okay , so it was your job to keep your head on straight . abigail : melanie , stop . i do n't want to argue with you about this anymore . melanie : okay . [ clears throat ] all right , fine . so -- so austin leaves carrie . are you guys supposed to just have some great new beginning ? abigail : yeah . you have never seen us together . melanie : okay , i 've seen enough . abigail : melanie ... he 's my soul mate . we are so good together , so right , and -- and we both feel it . we did n't mean for it to happen this way , but it did . melanie : i do n't think he felt it when he pushed you out of the way to go after carrie . abigail : he was feeling guilty . he was confused and upset , okay ? he 'll get over it . melanie : so your dreams come true . he leaves carrie . you guys get married . there 's an old saying , abby -- if you marry a married man who cheated on his wife , you married a married man who cheated on his wife . abigail : maybe that was your story , melanie , but it 's not gon na be like that for us . melanie : how do you know ? abigail : because ... one day he and i will finally be together , and everything 's gon na be perfect . he 'll -- he 'll teach , and i 'll finish school , and we 'll live in a cute little apartment somewhere , and all this bad stuff -- all this bad stuff will be behind us , because we 'll be able to love each other without feeling wrong for it . we can just be together , and then the first time that we make love , it will be amazing . melanie : wait . what do you mean the first time you make love ? abigail : that 's not what i said . melanie : you never slept with him . abigail : i mean when we make love for the first time together , as a couple . melanie : no , no , no , no . you just got so wrapped up in your little fantasy that you finally told me the truth for once . abigail : no , austin knows what happened . melanie : you said he 'd been drinking . how much was he drinking ? wow . so you have austin thinking this too . and now carrie knows ? abigail : you 're twisting my words around -- melanie : stop lying to me ! abigail : all right . fine , all right . it did n't happen . melanie : what ? abigail : it did n't happen . melanie : what did ? abigail : [ sighs ] we were kissing , and it was about to happen . but then he just -- he -- he passed out . melanie : and then ? abigail : and then in the morning , i realized that he -- he did n't remember very much . melanie : so what did you do ? abigail , what did you do ? abigail : he thought that we made love , and i - i did n't want to lose him , melanie , so i just let him believe that we did . [ scene_break ] austin : so you really think i can fix this ? billie : well , i think you better try . austin : how ? how ? unless carrie gets amnesia and forgets what happened , how does she get over this ? billie : time has a way of healing . it really does , almost anything . austin : [ chuckles ] come on . come on , sis . i mean , you heard me when i came in here and i thought you were carrie . you know how lame that sounded ? [ sighs ] billie : well , you said you only slept with abigail once . it 's not like you 're a -- it 's not like you were having an affair with her . austin : carrie and i had an argument , so what did i do ? i went out , and i got loaded , and i slept with this beautiful , young girl who works for me . ready ? i 'm your husband . how do you get past it ? billie : well , you think about all the good things , and what 's right about the relationship . austin : i 'm supposed to convince carrie of how much i love her when what i did was the direct opposite of love . in fact , it took our love , and it shredded it . [ scene_break ] carrie : do n't get me wrong -- i 'm still furious with austin and hurt and confused . what he did was disgusting . but before this happened , we were -- we were already having problems , and i know that 's not news to you . rafe : every couple has problems . carrie : he was the love of my life . unfortunately , sami felt the same way . rafe : yeah , sami told me about some of the things that she did . carrie : when we got married and we got past all -- all that , i thought this was it . this is all i 'm ever gon na need . then i got older , and being married to austin was n't enough . law school was something that i had always dreamed about , and i finally gave it a shot , and i started learning all these things about myself , and i started looking at austin differently too . and i started wondering if the woman i had become was still wanting the same things as the girl who fell in love with him . and those thoughts -- so disloyal . i never admitted them to anyone ... not even to myself . rafe : go on . carrie : but then we decided to move here , and i thought , `` yeah , that 's the answer -- come back to salem , and i 'll fall in love with austin all over again . `` but that 's not what happened , and austin cheated . but in my heart , i was already cheating on him .

sonny : their feelings would be hurt if we do n't make 'em a part of this . and to be honest , we need their help . will : [ sighs ] ca n't we just get a license and go to city hall ? sonny : no , because then my uncle vic 's feelings will be hurt . will : [ laughs ] i 'm afraid to ask why that is . sonny : because he wants us to have our wedding at his house . will : are you kidding me ? sonny : a freaking mansion . will : my mom is going to hate that idea . sonny : well , at least your mom 's behind us getting married . i do n't know if my mom 's gotten that far . sami : so you are still trying to get me to help you gang up on the boys ? adrienne : i knew you 'd see it this way . sami : what other way is there to see it ? they 're adults , adrienne . they can decide for themselves when they want to get married . adrienne : i ca n't sit here and talk about caterers and flowers like i think it 's a great idea . sami : so you tell them what you really think , and then they 're gon na dig in ... and stop listening to you . adrienne : all right , so i just let this happen ? sami : it 's better than having your son resent the hell out of you because you 're questioning something he believes in with his whole heart . and you know he does . adrienne : yeah ... for now anyway . sami : i 'm not trying to get in your face about this , but there is no way in hell i 'm going to risk being shut out by my son and the man that he loves . adrienne : i get what you 're saying . i ca n't believe i just said that . sami : come on , adrienne . it could work . look at ej and me . i mean , we used to be a disaster , but we have worked through all that , we have grown up , and now we are on our way to being totally happy together . ej : if you are pregnant , i 'm this kid 's father . abigail : i 'm letting you off the hook , okay ? go . marry sami . live your life . live happily ever after . ej : no , no , no , you and i are gon na deal with this together , all right ? i 'm not walking away from my responsibilities . abigail : yes , i know , you keep saying that . but i also realize what a huge inconvenience this would be for you . ej : that 's not the way i see it . abigail : really ? okay , it 's a little hard to pull off the perfect family living in the perfect mansion when you have your pregnant ex - lover living across town . ej : abigail , we were careless . there are consequences , l it 's not as if , you know , you were trying to lay some kind of claim to me or ruin my life , is it ? is it ? abigail : why are you looking at me like that ? ej : because it just occurred to me , when you followed me into that shower , that was very brazen , especially for somebody like you . and i wonder , did you do that because the timing was right ? abigail : what exactly are you saying ? ej : were you trying to get pregnant ? hope : here 's what happened . ciara was crying when chase came in , and he made fun of her . that 's why ciara went after him . aiden : come on . let 's go have a little talk . hope : i 'm so sorry chase said that to you . oh , baby , i 'm so sorry daddy wo n't be home for a long time . ciara , i am -- gosh , honey , i 'm so sorry about everything . aiden : so what ciara 's mother said ... is that what happened ? chase : i was just teasing her . aiden : you do not tease someone for crying , do you hear me ? you leave ciara alone . chase : she was the one who started pushing me . why is n't she getting yelled at ? why are the rules different for her ? abigail : you really think that i would do that ? that i would -- that i would try to get pregnant on purpose just to trap you ? wow , well , i guess i finally know what you really think of me , ej . ej : look , abigail , i 'm not your adversary . abigail : i do n't know what you are . honestly , i have no idea . but since you want me to handle this your way and i do n't want any part of your way , maybe we are adversaries . ej : look , i thought i -- i hoped that it would be clear that throughout all of this , i still care about you . abigail : no , it 's not . nothing is clear about what happened between us . nothing , except for the fact that i might be pregnant by a guy who 's engaged and does n't want me in his life . god , i 'm such an idiot . why did i do that ? why did i trust somebody who nobody else trusts ? i will never , ever make the same mistake again . ej : i 'm just trying to help . abigail : really ? and who are you trying to help exactly ? ej : you , of course . abigail : by taking me to a doctor on the dimera payroll ? is this the same doctor that you paid off to fake chad 's brain tumor so that he could get me into bed ? what exactly is it that you 're paying him to do this time , ej ? will : [ exhales sharply ] sami : okay , just keep your doubts to yourself . follow my lead , okay ? sonny : [ sighs ] hello . both : hi . sonny : thank you for doing this . sami : are you kidding ? we were just talking about how happy we are for both of you , right ? adrienne : yes , we think you 're a great couple . sonny : okay , well , so far , so good . i think we better nail down the wedding plans because ... we moved up the date . adrienne : what ? i mean , how are you gon na find a place that will accommodate a wedding so quickly ? sonny : actually , uncle vic wants us to have it at his house . will : and we think that that 's a great idea , do n't we ? sami : really ? well , the kiriakis mansion is beautiful in the summer . you know , you could have it out on the terrace . it 's just lovely , but in the spring , it can be so rainy , right ? will : do you have a better idea , mom ? sami : well , ej 's house is beautiful in any season . the garden is just as lovely as the kiriakis mansion and -- adrienne : oh , just stop ! you 've got to be kidding me . galen : the software detected this . it 's a tracking device . stefano : destroy it . [ device thuds on rug ] [ device shatters ] galen : it 's history now , boss . nicole : you know , i think it would be great if you worked things out with your mom . well , listen , i know both of you have work to do , so i 'm gon na get out of here .

[ women chuckle ] nicole : i agree . eric : aw , shucks . nicole : yeah . and do n't worry -- i wo n't be coming around here often , you know , keeping him from working , so ... jennifer : well , suit yourself , because daniel is going to be distracting me constantly if i 'm really lucky . so why should eric be any different ? nicole : so you do n't mind if i bring him lunch now and then ? jennifer : no , i wish you would . it would be good to see you . stefano : the nerve of you , the arrogance ... to think that you could use me against my own daughter ? marlena : oh , calm down . i 'm doing exactly what you 're doing -- trying to protect my child . and if you think i 'm gon na stand here and cower and apologize , you are sadly mistaken . now , chyka said that he left nicole alone in his place before he could take his stuff out . so get chyka back online , and let 's see what he had to say . stefano : chyka ? do we know anybody with the name of chyka ? galen : never heard of him . marlena : oh , for heaven 's sake . stefano : yes . uh - huh . believe me , you are gon na pay for this . aiden : what exactly did you say to ciara ? chase : that she was a big baby . aiden : and you 're surprised that she came after you ? come on , buddy . you started it . now you owe her an apology . come on , let 's go . ciara , chase would like to say something to you . chase : i 'm sorry . ciara : i 'm not . hope : chase , thank you for your apology . come on , sweetie , let 's go say hello to grandma , come on . chase : that is not fair . why does n't she have to say she 's sorry ? aiden : okay , come on , let 's get you to judo class . go on . chase : i thought we were getting hot chocolate . aiden : no , there 's been a change of plans . chase : and you 're not gon na walk me ? aiden : you know where it is . it 's right next door , okay ? i 'm gon na meet you after class . chase : [ sighs ] aiden : ciara okay ? hope : her grandmother always makes her feel better . aiden : good . good , well , i made it clear to chase never to tease her again . okay . hope : aiden , wait . a minute ? ej : look , if you are pregnant , i give you my word , i would never do anything to harm you or the child . this is your decision , abigail . all i want to do is be there to support you through this decision , but i can not allow you to face this on your own . abigail : but i am . i am facing this on my own . i 'm the one who 's probably pregnant . i 'm the one whose life is going to change here . you can go back to your other life with sami and your -- your kids . ej : look , if you 're carrying my child , i 'm not just gon na abandon you . abigail : but sami can never know about it , right ? ej : look , you and i both know samantha 's ... volatile . abigail : volatile ? that seems like kind of an understatement , do n't you think ? ej : look , i will never deny a child of mine ... nor let any harm come to the mother of my child . now do you believe that ? adrienne : are you seriously talking about how lovely the dimera mansion will be in the springtime ? sami : what is wrong with that ? adrienne : just i do n't think the daffodils quite blot out the house 's history , that 's all . sami : and the kiriakis mansion is full of lovely vibes ? adrienne : well , it 's vibes you want ? victor 's house has nothing on the dimera mansion . i mean , john and kristen got married there , and look how great that marriage turned out . sami : hey , i tried to get married in the kiriakis mansion once . the groom ended up dead . adrienne : oh , yeah ? well , kristen and john 's son almost got married there last year , and that did n't work out so great either . sonny : mom . sami : how about we make sure that victor not invite vivian ? i would hate for her to lure will up to the roof . adrienne : okay , sami , do we really want our sons saying their vows with stefano 's portrait staring down at them ? you got me on that one . so i think it would be a lovely idea for you to get married at the kiriakis mansion . will : really ? sami : really . will : well , good , because it 's what we want . sonny : well , that was easy . so what do you say i get us some lattes to celebrate ? and when i get back , we 'll talk music . adrienne : honey , let me help you , okay ? i can do the foam thing . sami : so have you finalized the wedding party ? will : well , it was gon na be gabi , of course , then abigail . sami : yeah , she 's not gon na bail on you , right ? will : as far as i know she 's on board . sami : i just wonder why she was so hesitant in the first place . will : well , she must have had her reasons . sami : but why ? will : she 's very sweet , but she 's very stubborn . you ca n't talk her into doing anything she does n't want to do . jennifer : bye , nicole . nicole : jennifer . jennifer : good - bye . [ laughter ] jennifer : well , i guess things are going good between the two of you . eric : yeah , they are . that was very generous of you , considering all the things that nicole tried to do to you . jennifer : you know what , eric , she asked me to forgive her , and she really went out of her way to earn it . you know , she could have turned jj in , and she did n't . and she has been an incredibly loyal friend to daniel . eric : [ chuckles ] jennifer : but i will be honest with you . it was so hard for me when the two of them were living together after we broke up . eric : you know , that was for my benefit . jennifer : how do you figure ? eric : i did n't realize you knew that nicole and daniel were lying . jennifer : about what ? [ cell phone rings ] nicole : [ groans ] have n't you bugged me enough already today ? stefano : i have some news for you . nicole : what kind of news ? stefano : well , apparently marlena evans just had a nice chat with a dr. chyka , hmm ? nicole : how do you know that ? stefano : she seemed very interested in anything that you might have found in chyka 's hideout after he escaped . nicole : [ scoffs ] i do n't even know what you 're talking about . stefano : well , the exchange was cut short , and marlena found out nothing , but , as for what she 'll do now , well , you probably have a better idea than i do . marlena : okay . okay , stay calm . he 's bluffing . he wo n't do anything . john : hey , doc . marlena : john . oh . oh . john : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . what 's wrong ? in my salon , i use products without parabens and dyes . sami : so abigail never ended up telling you what had her so upset ? will : [ clears throat ] it probably had to do with a guy . sami : what guy ? will : i do n't know . i just know that she was seeing a guy , and he was making her miserable , but she would n't talk about it . she admitted that much . sami : that he was making her miserable ? how ? will : well , i think he 's with someone , but was seeing her on the side . sami : what a rotten thing to do to a girl like abigail . will : yeah . i think she ended it with him , but -- you know , we probably should n't talk about it . it 's none of our business . adrienne : here we go . sami : oh , thank you . you know , i 'm gon na have to take mine to go . i completely forgot about this meeting that i have to get to . if you 'll excuse me . will : yeah . sami : thank you , sweetheart . bye . will : bye . adrienne : bye . sonny : see ya . ej : okay , i tell you what . you decide what you want to do next , and i will back you up . abigail : i do n't want to go to a doctor that you choose for me . ej : okay . go to your own doctor . abigail : i do n't need to go to a doctor . i can just take the home pregnancy test . ej : home pregnancy test is not 100 % accurate , abigail . now you are going to have to go to a doctor to get your pregnancy confirmed . abigail : your doctor , right ? ej : this doctor is discreet . this doctor will protect your privacy . and once you know for sure whether or not you are pregnant , you can assess any options you need to assess before you go home to your mother and your brother . abigail : oh , my god . my family . oh , god . they probably already know that something 's going on with me . for god 's sake , sami already figured out that i might be pregnant . if i am -- if i am really pregnant , this will kill my mom . ej : if your mother starts asking you questions , how long do you think it 's going to be until you break ? until you tell her everything ? hope : i just wanted to say , i really appreciate how you handled that situation . aiden : sure . hope : i do n't know if it matters to you , but ciara was crying because i just finished telling her that her dad wo n't be home for a really long time . aiden : well , that 's rough . i - i get it . hope : i 'm sorry . of course you do . aiden : it 's just not easy raising a kid on your own , is it ? hope : nope . aiden : no . hope : you think i 'd be used to it by now , but i 'm not . [ phone rings ] oh , excuse me . aiden : yeah . hope : sorry -- oh , uh , do n't -- do n't go , okay ? aiden : yeah . hope : hello ? hey , what 's up ? really ? oh , my gosh . [ stammers ] actually he 's with me right now . yeah , of course . i 'll tell him the great news . no , no , no , it was completely our pleasure . bye - bye . [ chuckles ] aiden : hmm ? hope : it seems congratulations are in order . eric : nicole and daniel said they were a couple , but they were n't . jennifer : and they said that they were for your benefit ? eric : well , nicole did n't want me to know that she had feelings for me . jennifer : okay , so they were covering it by saying that they were having an affair ? eric : because nicole just wanted to prove what kristen had done to me , so she knew that i would n't let her do it if i knew she loved me . jennifer : right , then you would feel like you were taking advantage of her . eric : exactly . listen , i 'm not saying it was the greatest plan , but they meant well . jennifer : no , i know . i - i - i know that nicole meant well . i just feel like even when she tries to do a good thing , she has to lie to get what she wants and i -- she just -- she 's good at that . marlena : oh , my gosh , i 'm sorry . i was n't thinking . john : what 's happening ? let 's go find a place to talk . marlena : no . john : come on . marlena : no . john : come on . marlena : not with you . not with you . nicole : well , i was just on my way to see you . what the hell are you trying to do to me ? sami : hey . i 'm looking for abigail deveraux . i told her that there was a delivery for her department in the community room . she 's probably still there . sami : community room ? that way . sami : yeah , thanks . abigail : oh , i 'm just so confused . [ sighs ] ej : it 's okay . look . that 's the number of the doctor i told you about . sami : excuse me . i 'm looking for the community room . thanks . hey . abigail . i am glad i found you . we need to talk . across america , people are taking charge of sami : i have been so worried about you . have you , um -- have you taken the pregnancy test ? abigail : no , uh -- no , i have n't . i meant to , but i got really busy and everything got kinda crazy , so -- sami : yeah , well , that 's gon na happen , right ? i mean , when you 're afraid that you 're pregnant and you do n't want to be . believe me , it will be better when you know the truth . abigail : yeah . sami : hey . you know , i mean , i 'm here to tell you that even if you are pregnant , life goes on . and you have family and friends who are going to love and support you , and i include ej and me when i say that . abigail : [ labored breathing ] sami : have you -- have you eaten anything this morning ? abigail : no . [ clears throat ] sami : you know what , i 'm gon na go to the cafeteria . i 'm gon na get you something to eat and , uh -- abigail : no , no , please -- please do n't talk about food . especially food that has something to do with mayonnaise . sami : [ laughs ] there 's always one thing , is n't there ? oh , with johnny and allie , i could n't even stand the smell of garlic . and with -- with sydney , it was orange marmalade of all things . abigail : what about will ? sami : oh , um , oh , gosh . for three months i could only eat crackers and then i guess the morning sickness just passed and i was eating like a horse . abigail , he 's worried about you too , you know . abigail : why ? sami : well -- do n't worry . he has no idea that you might be pregnant , but he did say that there is someone in your life , someone that you do n't wan na talk about . abigail : he should n't -- he should not have said that to you . sami : you have to be able to talk to somebody , hon . i mean , this guy , if you are pregnant , could he be the father ? and is the reason that you do n't wan na talk about him because he 's married ? adrienne : marriage is a big commitment . and it can be really painful if that commitment is made for the wrong reasons . and whether you both see it or not , you both are very , very young . but it 's also very evident that you are completely in love with each other . and in this screwed up world , that is something to be cherished and celebrated . sonny : am i high on caffeine , or did i just hear you give us your blessing ? adrienne : [ laughs ] you know as the -- as the mother of four boys , the one thing that i thought i was gon na miss out on was having a son - in - law . and it seems that i was wrong , so , honestly , i could n't be happier . hope : we , uh , did well . aiden : mm . hope : pricing and all , considering . we made our sales goal . aiden : yes , by coming up with an amazing strategy of selling sweets to school children , hmm ? hope : and by your writing a nice , big , fat check . aiden : well , writing a k is easy when you got the money . i think what st. luke 's does for those kids , now that , that is hard . seeing chase fit in there , that has been a huge load off my mind . speaking of which , i better get going because his judo class is about over . okay . all right . and , um , chase will not be bothering ciara again . that 's a promise . hope : thank you . eric : i hope i did n't upset you . i mean , i know it 's going well for you and daniel now . jennifer : yes , it is , finally . and you know what , that is all that matters . eric : well , it 's pretty obvious that there are no problems between the two of you . it was just all externals . jennifer : yes , yes . in the midst of all of this craziness , really , i would just love it if you and nicole and daniel and i can be friends . eric : i think you and i are already there . nicole : you found a way to talk to chyka , did n't you ?

because they were really good , caring people , but then they realized that sometimes the truth is -- is overrated . jennifer : honey , no -- i would n't put it that way , but yeah , things happen and sometimes situations arise where protecting people , yes , feels more important than total honesty . so yeah , my -- my grandparents , they thought they knew what they were doing . but when that truth came out , it almost destroyed our whole family , jj . jj : but what if it had n't ? great - grandpa obviously knew there was a risk and he -- he thought it was worth taking . and -- and i 'm not comparing what i did to -- look , i know that i messed up . and i at least have to try to fix things with paige . and -- and that 's not gon na happen if she finds out that i hooked up with her mom . mom , i 'm sorry , i - i hate even saying that , but ... jennifer : i 'm sure you do . it 's not so easy to hear , either . honey , i just want things to work out for you . jj : me , too . i guess i - i better get going and set up at school . jennifer : yeah , okay , i 'll -- i 'll just see you there , all right ?

i 'm not blaming you for anything . my son was there too and he takes full responsibility for what happened . but for you to hang around salem just waiting for his marriage to break up so you can swoop in at the last minute -- paul : i 'm not doing that . lucas : really ?

tori : i 'm not . will : paul told me that you were dead set against him coming to salem for his surgery , that you would rather him go anywhere else but here . tori : he could have gone to johns hopkins , the mayo clinic . instead , he chooses salem university hospital ? will : and then you do n't come and visit him , even after he finds out about his arm . you only come when the article comes out . tori : what do you think any of this proves ? will : maybe nothing , but ... there 's this . tori : where -- where did you get this ? will : paul gave it to me when i was doing research for the interview . he 's very proud of you , you know . do you still want to deny that you were ever here ? tori : what makes you think this picture was taken in salem ? i mean , i do n't even remember where this was taken . will : well , maybe that 's why you were so careless to keep it around . but , here , what you might not have noticed , you zoom in right here . you see that ? it 's a boathouse . you know whose boathouse that belongs to ? it 's the dimera family . now , i know you know who they are . there 's no question that this was taken here in salem . the question , mrs. narita , is why do n't you want paul to know that it was taken here ? tori : what do you want from me ? theresa : look , i 'm just speaking from experience here , okay , if a guy does n't appreciate you , you got ta just move right along to the next one -- just like i did with brady . paige : yeah , how 'd that work out for you ? theresa : just make sure he 's not gay . paige : he 's not , why would you say that ? theresa : because this last guy that i liked for like a nanosecond -- he was . which , thinking about it now , i should have realized because i mean , come on . how could a straight guy resist all of this ? you know ? paige : oh , god . theresa : do you want me to get rid of him , because that happens to be one of my many talents . paige : no -- no , i 'll handle it . theresa : but , i just -- paige : just stay here , theresa , please , theresa . jj : paige ? paige : what are you doing here ? jj : i 'm playing in the student showcase . wha -- what are you do -- paige : so am i . paul : hi , arianna grace . she 's beautiful . lucas : yeah , well , thank you . i ca n't take a lot of the credit there , but she 's the closest thing to perfect i 've ever seen . i 'm a little biased , i guess . paul : you 're a proud grandfather , understandably . you love her very much . lucas : i do . so do will and sonny . you know , arianna does n't get to spend that much time with her mom , so her two daddies are her whole world . paul : you do n't fight fair , do you ? lucas : you know what , life has n't been very fair for arianna . she had a rough beginning , so i 'm not gon na stand by and watch her whole world shatter again . so before this thing goes any further , i just think it 's important that you realize what you 're doing . paul : mr. horton , i 'm not here to ruin -- lucas : you know what , this is n't about just you and -- and will and sonny . someone else is involved too . paul : i only wanted -- lucas : you can go now . i 'm finished . see that ? let 's just hope he does n't show his face around here anymore , right ? arianna : mm - hmm . lucas : good . will : i love my husband and my little girl more than i could ever say , and i will do whatever it takes to keep them together . tori : i already told you , paul would never try to break up your marriage . will : you never told me why he 's still in town . tori : he has physical therapy . will : which he could do anywhere , he could do that back home in san francisco . tori : i 've told him that too , but he 's comfortable here and he would like to finish his program in salem . will : of course he would , so he can be near sonny . tori : sonny 's not even in salem right now . will : sonny 's coming back , and for the sake of my marriage , i need to make sure that paul is not here when he does , so you need to get him out . tori : i do n't have that kind of control over my son . will : i 'm sure you 'll figure something out . because if you do n't , then i 'm going to tell him where this picture was taken and that is going to lead to some questions that i do n't think you 're gon na want to answer . kate : not even a little bit nervous about your first board meeting ? chad : a little . i feel very prepared , thanks to you . kate : me ? chad : yeah . you 've taught me so much over the past few months , kate , and i -- i really appreciate that . even though i sort of forced you into making me co- ceo . kate : i think the proper term is `` blackmailed . `` chad : right . well , you could have been a bitch about it . kate : yes , i could 've been . chad : but you were n't ... for the most part . you have always looked out for me . ever since my mom died . kate : well , it 's the least i could do for madeline . chad : i think she would be at peace , knowing that her best friend was taking such good care of her son . i will always be indebted to you for that . after everything that happened with ej and my father , it 's just -- it 's nice to know that there 's somebody out there that really cares about me . i guess we should get going . kate : chad , wait . [ baby crying ] will : how you doing ? lucas : how 'd it go with paul 's mom ? will : pretty good , i think . she definitely does not want paul to know that she was in salem before . lucas : wonder why -- what in the world could she be hiding ? will : i do n't know and i do n't really care . as long as she does what i need her to do . lucas : think she 'll talk to paul , talk him into leaving town ? will : she 'd better . i mean , i hated having to go and threaten her like that , but i do n't know what other choice i had . lucas : well , after today , i do n't think paul 's going to need much convincing at all to leave town . will : what do you mean ? lucas : well , he stopped by here , earlier . and we had a little chat . eve : are we alone ? jennifer : what are you doing here ? eve : because i really need to talk . jennifer : there is nothing left to talk about . eve : apparently j -- paige has told me that jj asked her to take him back , and she turned him down . jennifer : yeah , but jj 's not giving up . he knows that paige is hurt and angry and it 's just going to take time for the two of them -- eve : jennifer , jennifer , jennifer ! paige and jj are never going to get back together , okay ? they 're not , and what i need to know now is , are you going to keep my secret ? paige : you 're not supposed to be here . your class is n't part of the show . jj : i needed extra credit . i did n't know you 'd be here , too . paige : right . jj : no , i swear . paige , look , if i can just make you understand how sorry -- paige : jj , i do n't want to hear it , okay ? and i have nothing else to say to you . i 'm going to talk to my professor right now and tell him that i ca n't perform today . jj : paige , do n't . paige : do n't touch me . i told you , i want you to stay the hell away from me . theresa : ouch . looks like prince charming lost his charm . chad : what is it , kate ? kate : your father ... he -- he 's a businessman . chad : okay ... kate : my point is that everything that happens at this board meeting today is strictly business . and it does n't matter at what level you may still care for him . it does n't mean that you should feel guilty about anything -- chad : about screwing him over ? do n't worry . it 's nothing personal . we are just doing what we have to do to survive . kate : exactly . you should know how proud i am of how far you 've come , as well . and i know that i 've been tough on you -- not just about business , but about other things , but it 's just because i care for you , you know that , right ? chad : of course . kate : we just make a terrific team , do n't we ? chad : the best . kate : yes . chad : i 'll pull the car around . kate : okay . sorry , maddy . but like chad said , we do what we have to do in order to survive . and for me , that means your son has to go . will : paul was here ? what did he want ? lucas : well , he was looking for you , but he did n't say why . i mean , i knew you needed time to talk to his mom , so i kept him here as long as possible . will : great . lucas : yeah . just wanted to make sure he knew exactly what was at stake if he was going to go after sonny . come on , look at her . you stare into these big blue eyes . `` take my daddies away ? `` no , that 's not going to happen . will : [ laughs ] will : do you think that got through to him ? lucas : i hope so . i mean , i do n't know for sure , but ... he left in a hurry . will : well , thanks , dad . i really appreciate it .

[ knocking on door ] tori : paul . what 's wrong ? paul : i just went to see will horton . jennifer : i should have known it was all about you , eve . it does n't matter to you that paige loves jj , and jj loves -- eve : not enough , not enough . jennifer : and that she is completely unhappy -- eve : the only reason she 's unhappy is 'cause of all the things that he did to her . jennifer : and you . do n't forget about you . eve : he will never be able to give my daughter what she needs , jennifer . jennifer : you do n't know that . eve : oh , yes , i do . yes , i do , and the only reason i 'm even allowing him this chance is because you have threatened to destroy my relationship with my daughter . jennifer : oh , now it 's my fault ? i ruined it ? no , you ruined it , by sleeping with her boyfriend . i never saw this coming . i mean , you flirting with daniel , yes . that is absolutely no surprise at all , but seducing my son to get back at me ? do you realize how sick that is ? you are sick . eve : first , this is n't about you , you egomaniacal bitch . second , i did n't seduce jj , all right ? for your information , he was more than willing to hop into my bed , again ... jennifer : you better shut up . eve : and again and again . jennifer : shut your mouth right now ... eve : so full of youthful energy . jennifer : or i will shut it for you . theresa : i always knew you were a player , and you just keep proving me right . first , you cheat on my niece , with some skank , and then you dump the skank -- or wait , did she dump you ? do you really think that paige is going to take you back ? i mean , you might be good , but you 're not that good . jj : shut up , theresa . you do n't know what you 're talking about . theresa : oh , do n't i ? what , paige would n't put out , huh ? and so you went and you found somebody who would ? and then you got bored . you wanted what you could n't have . i mean , do you really think you 're ever going to understand that ? jj : you know , i 'm kind of busy , here . do n't you have anything better to do than hang with 18-year - olds in a student lounge ? theresa : i 'm here for my niece , because i know you , and i know her . that little stunt that you pulled ? it might have worked with somebody like me . maybe even my sister . but paige is different , 'cause she has self - respect and standards , and she did n't see your little stunt that you pulled , with breaking up with that other girl and re - declaring your love for her . she does n't think that it 's sweet or romantic . she sees it for what it is . it is disgusting and phony , and she knows that you are playing games , jj . she 's never going to take you back . kate : oh . here you go . chad : what 's that ? kate : well , i thought each board member should have a printed copy of our presentation . it 'll be easier for them to follow along . chad : good idea . kate : mr. valdez , hello . valdez : everyone 's here . we 're ready when you are . kate : excellent . moment of truth . chad : here we go . even if it 's your last one , tori : paul , whatever will said to you -- paul : he did n't say anything . he was n't there . his father was . and will and sonny 's little daughter , arianna . she 's adorable . tori : this was the first time you met her ? paul : first time i 'd been to their place . tori : and it upset you ? paul : will and sonny , they built such a nice life together . or at least it was , until this whole mess happened . i think you 're right , mother . i think i should leave salem . lucas : looks like she 's getting a little bit tired now . will : yeah , i swear she 's having a growth spurt . she 's been sleeping and eating , nonstop . lucas : that 's what it 's all about . maybe i should see if i could put her down . will : oh , it 's worth a try . lucas : okay . will : thanks , dad . lucas : uh - huh . will : why did n't paul 's mom want him to know that she 'd been here before ? how did i not see that ? dad -- dad , where did you put my notes ? dad , dad , dad ... where is it ? where -- oh , my god . jennifer : i do n't have time for this , and you need to leave . eve : answer my question . jennifer : fine , i will keep your secret , no matter what happens between jj and paige . but , if you dare come between them , then the deal 's off . and now you can leave , because jj has a musical showcase and i am not going to miss it because of you . eve : a musical showcase ? at the university ? jennifer : yes , why ? eve : paige is performing too , jennifer . jj : i 'm not playing games . yeah , i made a huge mistake . have you ever done that , theresa ? and if paige will let me , i 'm gon na spend the rest of my life making it up to her . oh , huh . how long ? how long until you get bored with my virginal niece and then you go and you get some from some other girl ? how long will that be , jj , hmm ? jj : it 's not going to happen . 'cause i love paige . theresa : it happened before . jj : yeah , well , i got stuck in a bad situation , and i could n't get out of it . i know that sounds lame -- theresa : nope , does n't sound lame . that is literally the lamest excuse i have ever heard , and i am the queen of excuses . jj : it 's not an excuse . and i do love paige , and i never stopped , and i never will . victor : [ humming ] ah , all hell is about to break loose . if only i had a front row seat .

[ gentle music ] [ exhales sharply ] everything 's gon na be okay now . sarah will never find out that her daughter is really kristen 's . [ mysterious music ] brady : you had a long day . maybe you should lie down . kristen : i am so sorry that i ran out like that . i should 've told you where i was going . brady : if you had , i probably would 've tried to stop you . kristen : and maybe that 's why i did n't tell you . brady : here , sit down . what happened ? why did you go to the hospital ? kristen : i do n't know , brady . i don't . i do n't , i ... when you brought me back to that moment after rachel 's birth and i was holding her in my arms , i just -- i had this overwhelming feeling , this urge , to see mackenzie . see if she was okay . brady : i do n't understand why -- why ? kristen : i do n't know why . i mean , i ca n't explain it . it 's just , there 's this connection in my mind . you know , these two little girls born on the same night . and it was just , tonight , it was fresh again . brady : i 'm sorry if i made it worse somehow for you . kristen : oh , my god . no , you did n't make it worse , brady . if anything , you made it better for me . brady : okay . kristen : you know , you gave me a gift . and you helped me remember everything about rachel . you know , from her big beautiful eyes to her soft skin to that little heart - shaped birthmark on her neck . brady : yeah . kristen : yeah . [ chuckles ] nicole : she looks perfect . she really is a ... eric : what ? what is it ? nicole : what 's that on her neck ? eric : it 's a birthmark . you never noticed it before ? nicole : what 's up with kristen ? brady : the memories of our -- of our daughter are becoming more and more distant for her , and she was afraid that she was going to lose them completely . nicole : well , at least she did get to be with her . brady : i know . i mean , we get to hold on to that , but ... i was helping her relive those minutes and make her remember , and i was really surprised at what we were able to recall . i mean , her -- her mouth , her eyes . she even remembered that rachel had a very faint heart - shaped birthmark on her neck . [ dramatic music ] rafe : i need to put an apb out on evan frears , aka christian maddox . he 's most likely traveling with a toddler . we can not let him leave salem . okay . damn it , how did he -- how did he get away ? he must 've known that we were tailing him . i should 've known that . i should 've known that he would know that . eli : rafe , it 's not your fault , all right ? you had to try . lani : look , it looks like this guy has known the authorities were chasing him for a while . you know what , rafe , i 'm gon na call my dad and let him know that we 're gon na join the search , okay ? rafe : okay . oh , my god . where 'd you get that ? lani : we found it in the square , why ? rafe : this is david 's train . evan : you have no idea how badly i 've been dying to see him . it 's a good thing i lost the cops that rafe had tailing me . i 'm not surprised you were able to lose the tail . after all , you learned from the best . you learned from orpheus . | will and sonny did n't understand how evan was able to go free . rafe explained that he was the reason why the judge let evan go . he thought that he could lead him to david . after he talked to them , rafe went back to evan . he told him that he was free , but could n't leave salem . he wanted answers about david . he told evan that he would allow him to see david if he told him where to find him . sarah walked up and saw xander with dr. raynor . she noticed they were tense . xander quickly covered up what they were discussing . sarah seemed fine with his answer and took a call from maggie . xander wanted to know if raynor was leaving salem . she would leave if everything went well for the baby . kristen went to mickey 's room and saw eric there . she apologized to him for what she did to him and nicole . she assured him that she changed and cared for his daughter . eric appreciated her concern and for her getting tested to see if she was a donor for mickey . she asked how she was doing and he was optimistic because the surgery went well . kristen was relieved and started crying . he apologized for her loss . she wanted to hold the baby . he could n't let her do it because her immune system was compromised . |

brady : she 's not going to be in distress for very long . i promise . kate : mm . roman : hope you 're thinking about me . kate : as a matter of fact , i 've been thinking far too much about you , captain brady . roman : that 's good . kate : oh . so ... what are you doing here ? should n't you be at the police station tracking down lawbreakers ? roman : i was on my way , but i thought you might need this . you forgot it when you left my place this morning . kate : my god . see , there 's the proof . how could i go off and forget my work ? roman : i 'd like to think you had your mind on pleasure and good times . i know i did . kate : thank you . thank you for bringing it . kate : i said thank you . you can go now . roman : what 's going on here ? did i , uh ... did i do something wrong ? kate : no . no , it 's not you . actually , i was , um ... i was just thinking about last night . roman : yeah . kate : being with your brother and your sister - in - law . roman : that 's very formal . it 's bo and hope . kate : i did n't fit in , roman . i should n't have been there . rex : good morning . tony : rex . rex : dad . stopped by for a cozy family breakfast and eliana 's fresh - ground coffee . even the java cafe ca n't beat it . tony : wait a moment . you should be taking a chemistry class , taking notes and soaking up knowledge . rex : i tested out of that class . tony : what do you mean , tested out ? it was an advanced class . rex : yeah , they 're trying to find a professor who can teach me something i do n't already know . tony : well , maybe we should have your i.q . tested . rex : oh , you 're too late . when cassie and i first came toalem , the experts tested everything about us . my i.q . totally freaked them out . tony : well , i 'm about to have a freak - out myself . my son the genius ? rex : well , i came to talk about my dad the genius . tony : aw . ha ha ha ha . how sweet of you . no , no , i 'm not in your league . rex : i.q . does n't matter as much as what you do with it . i want to know whwhat you 're doing . tony : i 'm here enjoying my breakfast this morning . rex : do n't blow me off . tony : i beg your pardon ? rex : you 're involved in some kind of operation , and it 's going on here at the mansion , but you 're trying to pretend like everything 's normal . as we 've already established , you ca n't fool me . i 'm too smart . so why do n't you tell me what you 're up to ? john : there you are . you left the penthouse without saying goodbye this morning . marlena : you were asleep . john : never stopped you before . could have left a note . i did n't know what happened to you . marlena : so ... you 're upset because you did n't know where i was or what i was doing . that 's your complaint ? amazing . i had a patient that i had to sign in -- an emergency . i 'm a doctor . that 's what i do . and now i 've got regular patients that i have to see . john : okay , obviously you 're upset over something i 've done . care to share it with me ? marlena : are you going to tell me where you were last night ? like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . kate : come on , roman , i 'm not exactly sweet jennifer horton . i 've been around the block a couple thousand times . making the family scene with your relatives , reminiscing about family get - togethers and gatherings and -- and fourth of julys and toasting marshmallows -- roman : hey , whoa , whoa . i do n't remember talking about that many old times . kate : i do n't belong with those people , and i do n't belong with you . roman : kate -- kate : you 're a man who 's devoted his entire life to righting wrongs , to putting away the kinds of people that -- that i 've lived with , that i 've been married to . roman : kate , listen to me , all right ? i 'm no saint . far from it , and i do n't judge people i care about , and i care aboutou a lot , and i doubt very much that there 's anything you could have done that would change my feelings about you . kate : you only think that because you do n't know . roman : all right , then . let 's get the cards on the table . give me your whole history . kate : i 'm not going to start pulling skeletons out of my closet for you . roman : you 're getting all upset about how you think i 'll react . kate : no , how i know you 'll react . roman : how in the hell can you say that if you do n't try me ? damn it , kate , you ca n't push me away without giving me a chance . kate : i do n't have to give you a chance , and i wo n't give you a chance , and if you 'll excuse me , i have a meeting . roman : ha ha . tony : well , you have an overactive imagination , huh ? to go along with your high intelligence , rex . but i 'm sorry to disappoint you . no , i am not involved in anyorort of secret plot . oh , i 'm sorry . would you like some more coffee ? rex : so ... that new security camera over there -- you installed it to make sure eliana does n't steal the silverware ? tony : ha ha . she would n't dare . although they say it 's the quiet ones you should pay attention to . rex : what about the cameras outside ? tony : well , your new family is very high - profile , rex , and as a father now , i do n't want to take any chances with the lives of my children . rex : so you put in all that security to protect me and cassie . we do n't even live here . tony : but it is your home . you do come here and visit . like this morning -- case in point . i want you to be safe . rex : is that why you 're closing the secret room ? tony : why do you ask ? rex : was it because of professor putnam ? has security somehow been compromised ? tony : putnam . rex : from the university . tony : oh , yes , yes , yes . putnam . hmm . do you have any idea where he is ? rex : i do n't know . he must be on sabbatical . whdodo you even care ? tony : well , do n't you ? i mean , from what i gather , you enjoyed his teachings , so if you needed to find him , i would help you , that 's all . rex : i do n't believe you . you want to know where professor putnam is , but you wo n't tell me why . why are you keeping so many secrets ? tony : that 's none of your damn business . drop it . marlena : interesting , is n't it ? you 're upset with me for leaving this morning and not telling you where i was going , and that 's exactly what you did to me last night . john , want the truth . now tell me , please , where you were last night . you 're not going to , are you ? john : i 'm not doing this lightly . i have made a decision that i 'm not going to compromise you . therefore , i can not tell you -- marlena : it 's tony . you 're going after tony , and you do n't want me to know it . john : he 's a criminal , doc . marlena : you do n't know that , john . john : i dknknow that . i just ca n't prove it . marlena : well , then , you will try , wo n't you ? you will sneak around , you will lie to me -- john : no , no , no . i am not lying to you . marlena : you are deliberately keeping me in the dark . marlena : i 've got patients to see . brady : and so the prince said to the princess , `` i will rescue you only if you promise to live with me forever as my queen and sing to me every day . `` and the princess replied , `` sure . i could handle that . `` chloe : happily ever after . brady : hey , belle . belle : hey . brady : what 's up ? belle : how is she ? brady : oh , she 's -- you know , chemo 's no fun . she 's tired , but she 's hanging in there . belle : you 're keeping her spirits up . brady : well , i got the easy part . i do n't know how most people are when they 're facing a bone marrow transplant , but chloe 's been nothing short of amazing , you know ? belle : you know , brady , i have no idea what you were saying to chloe in there just now , but i saw the look on your face , and you 're definitely in love . i 'm very happy for you . brady : thank you . well , how 's your love life ? how 's it going ? belle : okay , i guess . brady : where 's shawn ? is he meeting you here or ... belle : well , that 'd be kind of hard , considering he 's at an away game with his team . brady : guys and their baseball . belle : yeah , well , he was torn about whether or not he was going to go , but he loves to play , so ... brady : hey , belle , no crying in baseball . you know that . belle : brady -- brady : what 's up ? come on . belle : i know nobody 's perfect , but this has happened a couple of times with shawn . i mean , there 's just no getting away from the fact that shawn did n't feel i was strong enough or tough enough to handle what he was going through , and i would love to be there for him and help him , but he just -- he does n't want me to do that , and ... that 's what really hurts . rex : look , i know you 're new at this -- you 've never played the role of a father before -- but you 're pretty much blowing it right now . tony : oh , i sincerely hope that 's not the case . rex : i do n't have much experience with this family stuff , either , but the impression i have gotten from other people is that once your mother or father makes a promise to you , they 're supposed to keep it . tony : hmm . so where do you think i have broken this promise , rex ? i mean , i 've provided you with a magnificent mansion , i pay for your education . there 's probably no other student at the university who 's better dressed . i mean , where have i failed ? rex : those are things . what i am talking about is more elusive -- openness , trust . tony : i trust you . rex : no , you don't . if you trusted me , i would know what the secret plan of yours is . tony : you know , as a parent , i 'd be remiss if i did n't say that i was trying to protect you . it 's what i 'm doing now . it 's what i 'll continue to do . not that i expect any gratitude from a teenager , but i would expect some form of understanding from you . rex : nice speech . did you praccece it ? tony : you know , i should also take your attitude this morning toward me and play it back to you when you are rich and powerful on your own , though you may not be if you keep insisting on this blithering openness and honesty . rex : why the hell not ? tony : secrets , my dear son , are absolutely necessary . they are the ultimate survival tool in this treacherous world of ours . rex : i do n't believe that . tony : well , you should . you should hear me and take heed . learn from my wealth of experience . you hold onto your secrets . you keep them close . that 's how you build your power , and that 's how you keep it . am i getting through to you ? rex : you 're saying i should wear a mask ? tony : not a mask -- armor . like the knights of the old -- they knew better than to keep themselves open . rex : so do n't show anyone my real feelings . tony : yes , but at the same time , you can also be charming and entertaining , but also be sensitive to other people 's vulnerabilities . it really puts a protective shield over our true nature . it worked for me , rex . rex : so who i really am is -- tony : your business . it 's a theory you can live by . roman : john . john : roman . when the hell did you start working for me ? roman : ha ha . not yet , bui i could use the money . john : ha ha . roman : if you 're looking for kate , she , uh , she had to run to a meeting . john : yeah . so you and kate -- things are good , huh ? roman : ha ha . well , that depends on who you ask and when . i think it 's good . kate 's quite a woman . john : mm - hmm . roman : listen , uh ... everything all right with the i.s.a . business ? john : if i were having any troubles , you 'd be the first to know . roman : all right . well , since i am your contact at the p.d . , is there anything you want to tell me about what you 're working on now ? john : i 'm going to put the dimeras ' so - called family bininess under a microscope . i know for a fact they 're anything but legit , but i just need to come up with the proof to put tony away for a long time . roman : doc know you 're tracking tony 's business ? john : no way . nope , i 'm keeping her out of the loop on this one . [ claps hands ] it 's for her own protection . brady : tink , listen to me . guys operate on a whole other level when they 're crazy about a girl , okay ? shawn -- he wants to be your hero , not the guy who makes problems for you , okay ? belle : yeah , well , shawn needs to understand that i 'm the kind of person that he can depend on . i am not going to spend the rest of my life with someone who ca n't even tell me what 's going on with him and tries to shield me from reality . that 's dumb . brady : no , that 's tough talk . belle : okay , brady , that 's how i feel . now , i was standing here looking through the window at you with chloe , the way you were with each other . here 's chloe , going through one of the most challenging experiences a person can even know , and the only thing that 's making it easier for her is sharing it with you , the guy who loves her . now think of how you 'd feel if chloe had gone away somewhere and you knew she was suffering , but she did n't want you to be there with her . i know you , and you would freak out . brady : yeah , you 're right . belle : i 'm right ? wait , did my brother brady actually say that i was right about something ? brady : ha ha . dr. wesley , hey . uh , i - is everything going ahead according to plan ? craig : uh , yes . we just finished harvesting the bone marrow stem cells from chloe 's sister a few minutes ago . brady : what about joy ? is she okay ? there were n't any problems , were there ? roman : all right , listen , john , i 'm curious here . what is so different about this time ? i mean , with marlena . i mean , were n't you and doc working as kind of a team ? john : are you serious , man ? everything 's different . dimera is cassie and rex 's father . that means he 's got a link to marlena for the rest of her life . and the bottominine -- if marlena finds out what i 'm doing , she 's going to try to stop me because her heart is all wrapped up in this . suddenly , she 's willing to look the other way on the dimeras because now her children share tony 's last name . but i ca n't look the other way , and i wo n't do it . roman : even if it ends up hurting your marriage ? john : now , that would really break your heart , would n't it , roman ? rex : okay , so ... you keep your truth a secret . that way you 're not vulnerable , and they ca n't hurt you . you retain your strethth . tony : you must . otherwise , you ca n't gain power . but perhaps you do n't crave power the way i do . rex : i probably want it even more . tony : really ? rex : look , i have been at someone else 's mercy since my life began , but i am determined to control my own destiny now . that 's why i 've got to have power . besides ... in the time cassie and i have been living normal lives here in salem , i 've seen what it 's like to be one of the little people , following the rules of society . people like the bradys , who end up with nothing to show for it but a police badge ... [ doorbell rings ] rex : or their name on a pub and a 50-hour workweek . that 's not for me . tony : still a teenager , and you 've already found the key to life ? that 's brilliant . rex : not yet , but i 'm learning . marlena : oh . tony : oh . marlena : good morning . i - i 'm feeling flattered . eliana did n't offer to announce me . she just said to go right in . tony : oh , no , i 've instructed the household . i let them know ththis is your second home . marlena : hardly . tony : i did n't mean literally . just as a courtesy to the mother of my children . marlena : oh . i see . i 'm glad you 're here . i was hoping i would find you or cassie in . rex : why , is there -- is there a problem ? marlena : no . just wanted to see you , that 's all . tony : why do n't i leave the two of you alone ? rex : uh , can i get you something ? eliana makes killer coffee . marlena : no , no . no , thank you . i just was , um ... how 's school ? i mean , are they -- are they managing to find courses that challenge you ? rex : i 've got them scrambling . marlena : ha ha ha . i 'll bet you do . tony and i should probably send you to yale or harvard , but i like the idea of having you close to home so i can get to know you better . maybe we should rethink that , though . i do n't know . rex : what 's the matter , marlena ? marlena : it 's john . i - i do n't know where he was last night or what he did . rex : is that unusual ? marlena : it 's -- it 's very unusual . he always tells me eveththing . tony : well , not anymore , apparently . well , i can satisfy your curiosity about john 's whereabouts last night . i know exactly what he was doing . fixodent complete denture adhesive . check out what 's coming up ! it 's almost your episode . so , it was called cattle point . of the nation , and subsequentlyne of th here . your cruise directorroron craig : the baby 's fine . the harvesting was completed without a hitch , and the bone marrow is ready for transplant as soon as chloe 's finished with her treatment . belle : everything 's okay , brady . brady : everything 's okay . craig : well , we 're not home free , but we 're close . brady : thank you , dr . wesley , for everything . belle : tell her that i 'm happy for her . brady : i 'll do that . brady : hey , princess , you know , that bedtime story was supposed to keep you out for an hour . what happened ? are you in pain ? chloe : no . i just woke up . i do n't know why . brady : i think i do . there happens to be a good buzz going around the hospital right now , and you did n't want to miss out on it . chloe : good buzz ... about what ? brady : a certain baby girl who just came through heher bone marrow harvesting withlying colors . it 's over . joy 's bone marrow is ready and waiting for you . roman : john , believe me , i would not be glad if you and doc were having problems . marlena and i -- that was a whole ' nother lifetime . believe me , literally . i 've moved on . i mean , look . look where i 'm sitting . look who i 'm waiting for . my god , kate roberts is definitely nobody 's second best . john : i know . sorry , roman . i do n't know why i said what i said . roman : i guarantee you , that is ancient history to me . john : yeah , ancient history , all right . come to think of it , that 's probably why i said it right there . roman : yeah . people in salem -- they think they got problems . they have no idea what you and i went through . i mean , you finding out you were n't roman brady , and me finding out i was ... john : and when i found out i was n't a brady , that ... that worked me pretty hard , and it 's kind of like i lost my anchor , my family , you know ? roman : hey , hey , hey , come on , you will always be family . everybody cares about you , john . john : you know , a person needs to know where they belong , where they fit in , you know ? roman : you know , kate was just saying she did n't feel like she fit in with my family , but that is different . john : yeah , but i know what she 's talking about . it 's the bradys -- they , um , ah , i do n't know . it 's -- they got this thing going on . they got their own little force field , and ... you know , sometimes , it 's hard when i realize that i 'm ... never going to be a part of that anymore . i kind of operate on the outside . roman : but look at your kids . belle and brady -- my god , they know who they are , and that 's because of you . you are creating your own dynasty . you and marlena -- together . and that is something you can be damn proud of , john . john : thanks , roman . those are good words . john : thank you . tony : if you 've got a moment , i 'd like to speak to your mother alone for a minute . rex : more secrets ?

liar . `` let 's put the cards t the table , kate . `` `` let 's get everything out in the open . `` does that sound familiar ? roman : you are the one that brought up your so - called shady past . kate : that was in an unguarded moment , and i 've had far too many of those lately , and it 's not going to happen anymore . roman : all right , i ; m curious . did you find out anything about me you did n't know before ? kate : no , i confirmed my worst fears . you are a terminally good man . you went through hell , and you came out even better with your moral center intact . i do n't even know if i have one , roman . roman : you are much harder on yourself than i could ever be . kate : oh ... there you go again . being noble -- it 's in everything you do . morality and decency , and i hate it . roman : no , you do n't hate it . it turns you on . belle : i was just remembering how you and brady practically hated each other when you first met . it 's funny how things change , huh ? chloe : yeah . now i ca n't imagine living without him . belle : are you sure you 're up for company ? you seem kind of tired . chloe : yeah , i like having you here , belle . belle : well , i brought you some more magazines . chloe : i 'm not sure i can hold one up long enough to turn the pages . belle : okay , well , i 'll hold them , and i 'll read to you what i think sounds interesting . chloe : great . belle : okay . how about `` 300 ways to look hot this spring `` ? chloe : sounds like just what i need . you know , belle , you have a really great eye for clothes and accessories . you always know what people will want to wear before everyone else knows . how is that ? belle : i do n't know . i think i just got the fashion gene . my mom said that i knew what i wanted to wear when i was 3 . chloe : well , maybe you should do something with your talent . belle : i was going to study design in paris , but i was just so worried about shawn and i missed him so much , i never even left the orly airport . i just came straight back home . chloe : i 'm really glad that shawn was cleared and you two are back together . you are back together again , re n't you ? belle : yeah . yeah , we are . it 's just kind of difficult , and he 's at an away game right now . chloe : ah , things just seem to get between you two , do n't they ? you 're star- crossed . actually , it 's very romantic . belle : if you say so . chloe , you can -- you can tell me to mind my own business if you want to , but ... chloe : i would never say that , belle . what do you want to know ? belle : you and brady are ... close , as in ... close , right ? chloe : uh - huh . belle : is it -- i mean , is it as wonderful as you thought it would be ? chloe : you mean ... how 's the sex ? rex : why did marlena leave ? tony : hmm ? oh . you do n't miss a thing , do you ? rex : well , she said she stopped by , hoping to see her children , and then the two of you sent me out of the room like a 5-year - old , and then she leaves without saying goodbye . obviously , motherly love is n't what inspired her to stop by . tony : you know , you could n't be more wrong . doing what 's best for her children is marlena 's driving motivation . now , do n't you think you should get back to your classes ? even geniuses veve to turn up occasionally . rex : do n't distract me . she said she was upset about john , about whatever he was doing here last night . why wo n't you tell me what it was ? tony : 'cause itoes n't concern you . rex : you want to take john 's wife away from him . tony : if i am so inclined ... it would serve him right . chloe : well , i wo n't go into details ... belle : , , no , obviously , brady is my brother . i just -- i 'm wondering what to expect . chloe : let 's just say that we 're both ... really happy in every way , and it was that way the first time , too -- like it was meant to be , if that makes any see . belle : i was thinking that for so long about shawn and me that we were meant to be . chloe : you are , belle . bellei ' i 'd still like to think that , but ... chloe : what 's wrong ? belle : i think there may be something wrong between us , something basic . i keep trying to come up with explanations for why things keep getting in the way of us finally being together , but it always comes back to the same thing . when something is wrong in shawn 's life , he just shuts down on me . he has this idea that he ca n't involve me in his problems , so we keep growing farther apart . and when i think about being really intimate with someone who basically does n't trust me , well , i 'm scared that that would be a mistake . chloe : maybe you should wait with shawn until you feel sure about him , the same way that i 'm sure about brady . brady : sure about me how ? rex : when you say it would serve him right , you mean because of kristen , do n't you ? tony : something i 'll never forget or forgive . rex : so you want revenge . tony : it 's not that simple . rex : oh , i know . you also want marlena to fall head over heels with you . you want another chance at love . marlena : oh . john : hey , honey . marlena : john , gosh , you scared me . are n't you going to work today ? john : i did , i did . i just wanted to come back . i did n't want to leave things the way they were between us . come on , doc . do n't be angry with me . i got reasons for doing what i 'm doing . marlena : you 've got reasons for breaking into tony 's house , reasons for spying on tony ? ak , the calm peace . than serious pr brady : well , this makes me nervous . my sister and girlfriend are talking aboume . belle : do n't worry , brady , i 'm not telling any embarrassing stories about how you used to torment your poor , helpless little sister . brady : that never happened . okay , hardly ever . no , seriously , i can get lost if you girls want to finish your serious talk . chloe : no . stay . i missed you . brady : i was gone for an hour , and i got something for you . chloe : hmm . brady : this is our trip to colorado . the video people at basic black did some editing for me , added some music . it 's pretty cool . chloe : you 're kidding . put it in . turn it on . chloe : that has to be the most beautiful place in the world . [ telephone ringing ] girl : [ laughing ] shawn brady 's number . roman : well , that part of our relationship still works . kate : could you go ? i 'm not going to get anything done today with you here . roman : that 's all right . i got to get to work anyway . kate : get to work ? i thought you said you were off - duty . roman : well , i 'm not going to the station . i 'm going to start a research project . you know what that research project is ? it 's you . i 'm going to find out everything there is to know about yo kate : i do n't think that 's a good idea . roman : oh , i do think that 's a good idea because you are my favorite subject , katie . tony : please ... do n't speculate about my motives concerning marlena . rex : i 'm just making an observati b based on the way you look when she 's around . you want her . by the way , is that smart ? i mean , anybody paying attention can see how you feel about her . what about the mask and the armor you 're supposed to be wearing all the time ? marlena : every time you keep something important from me , you damage our marriage . john : i 'm taking steps to protect our marriage . marlena : well , it 's not working . tell me what you 're trying to do to tony . john : for god 's sakes , doc , how did you get to be that bastard 's protector ? marlena : i have to give him the benefit of t d doubt . i owe that to my children . that is n't all i owe them . but i ca n't be part of something trying to destroy their father . john : i 'm not asking you to be a part . i 'm not asking you to be involved at all . this is between tony and me . marlena : oh , the hell it is . nicole : you tried to help , you copped a feel , i did n't mind , i do n't think you did , either . jennifer : jack and i -- we 're getting remarried . man : do you understand that jack is not the man for you ? ! carson : keep it up , detective , and i promise you , i will have your badge ! permanently . bo : go to hell . | rex confronts tony about keeping secrets and tony explains how they must have armor to have power . marlena comes in ( after an argument with john about his whereabouts the night before ) and talks to rex for a little while . she wonders aloud about john 's whereabouts last night and tony volunteers the information , that his brother broke into his mansion and planted a bug . marlena gets angry and tells him she 'll take care of it and later confronts john . he tries to cover but marlena gets angry and storms out . meanwhile , roman tries to get some information on kate but runs out short , and gets the scoop from john about the dimeras . belle stops by to see brady and belle and envies their solid relationship . also , joy wesley 's bone marrow operation is a complete success ! |
philip : you listen to me , mom -- do not -- do not let this destroy you . you understand me ? if i die , it will be in service of my country , and there is nothing i believe in more . rex : i ca n't take this anymore . those cowards . mimi , they took my brother hostage , and they 're making a videotape of him to put on television . i bet you they tortured the hell out of him first . the only reason they did that is to humiliate him -- mimi : do n't say that . we have to believe that he 'll get out of this . and , rex , do n't forget , philip is special forces . he has been trained to handle himself in these situations . rex : mimi , i know how strong philip is , but i do n't think all the training in the world could prepare a person for something like that . the only thing that 's probably keeping him focused and together is knowing belle is watching this , and that she 's praying for him to come home safely . unfortunately , his loving wife is in love with another man . jan : not for long . after she sees this video , belle 's number one priority will be her husband philip . she knows the eyes of the world will be on her . the paparazzi will probably be calling her all day and all night , and the last thing she wants is for the news media to break the story that she 's in love with another man . do n't worry . i 'm not going to say anything . i do n't have to . no , i 'm feeling pretty good right about now , because mrs. kiriakis has to be on her best behavior , which means shawn will be all mine .

[ scene_break ] mimi : i ca n't believe that you actually think lying to father jansen and shawn was the right thing to do . bonnie : all right . maybe `` right thing `` is the wrong choice of words , but it 's the smart thing to do . you have to do whatever you can to hold on to your man , and a little white lie never hurt anybody . mimi : this is more than a little white lie . i do n't know if i can take those sacred vows tomorrow . bonnie : honey , honey , the vows are about two people loving and honoring each other . nowhere does it ask , `` do you promise to tell that you know he 's the father of someone else 's baby ? `` mimi : now you 're just being ridiculous . bonnie : fine . here 's what i 'll do . remember that container of holy water i stole from the baptismal font ? right before the wedding , while we 're still in the bride 's room , i 'll just sprinkle a few drops of that on you . mimi : stolen holy water -- yeah , like that will really cleanse me of my sins while i 'm lying to my husband at the altar on our wedding day in front of god . bonnie : you know what ? you 're making me work too hard for this . all you have to do is look shawn in the eyes -- the man you love , the man you 're gon na spend the rest of your life with -- and you can lie to him about anything . honey , it 's amazing what true love can really do .

[ scene_break ] daniel : i ca n't believe you ca n't find the donor . it 's unconscionable . how could they volunteer for something like this , knowing how bad bo 's condition is , and then just simply disappear after being tested ? lexie : i 'm sure there 's a good reason . daniel : only if they 've been abducted by aliens . short of that one excuse , there is not one damn decent reason . because the minute you are tested , you wait by the phone and you stay ready . otherwise , do n't waste my time . lexie : they 'll be found . i 'm sure of it . daniel : and if they 're not ? lexie : well , as you are so fond of saying , doctor , let 's just take this one step at a time .

jennifer : well , nicole thought that eric would n't let her help him if he knew how she felt about him . daniel : yeah , so we made him think that she moved on , which seemed like a pretty good idea at the time , yeah . jennifer : right . daniel : okay , jenn , let me tell you , i ran into a brick wall , trying to get medical evidence to prove his story . the guy was getting hammered , and kristen effectively just destroyed everything that mattered to him . nicole and i , we needed to use the resources that she had at the studio to kind of track down chyka . and well , like i said , it seemed like a good idea at the time . jennifer : right , but this good idea -- it was n't yours , was it ? daniel : no , it was n't . but does that matter ? marlena : eric , let me explain this . eric : i hope you can . marlena : i was trying to trick stefano . hope gave me a device to trace the call and try to locate chyka . i just had to keep him talking . eric : that does n't answer my question . what does nicole have to do with all of this ? marlena : i do n't know . eric : okay , i 'm gon na say this one more time . in doing all this , was it chyka or nicole you were trying to catch ? marlena : eric , let -- [ sighs ] eric : i think you just answered my question . sami : abigail and i were trying to have a private conversation . maxine : well , i 'm sorry , but there 's a meeting here in five minutes , and i need to set up for it . abigail : that -- that 's fine . sami , we should -- we should probably just go . sami : no , no , abigail . there is someone back there , and they heard everything that we said . we need to know who it is . come on . it 's okay . i could swear i heard i something . maxine : oh , they leave this window open 'cause it gets hot in here . breeze must have knocked this over . sami : do you think that 's what we heard ? abigail : i do n't know . but , sami , i really do have to get back to work . sami : oh , no . we have more to talk about . maxine : somewhere else . abigail : i 'm late . sami : honey , i know you do n't wan na talk to your mom , but you have to talk to someone . abigail : fine . yeah , fine . sonny : nick wants you to think this is all because of him , but here 's what i know . sami and ej would have given you the job if you just asked . you are beautiful , and you are talented -- that 's why you were hired , not because of nick . gabi : that 's not true . and i 'm beginning to see that nick 's been right all along . sonny : what is that supposed to mean ? gabi : it means , sonny , that nick got me that modeling contract in new york . and yes , he went about it the wrong way . you know , he was manipulative . he had his own agenda . but the point is that -- that he knew what i needed , long before i did . will : i ca n't think of anything you and i would possibly have to talk about . nick : things are moving forward . and i want you to accept that . will : or else , right ? sonny told me what you said about how you have a bullet for each of us . nick : well , i think , as a writer , you can appreciate that i was speaking metaphorically . will : so was hitler . nick : wow , okay . um , let 's get something straight , okay ? sonny invited me to meet him . and when i got there , he -- you know , he dropped the kiriakis name , and he threatened that if i did n't see things his way , that he 'd make sure that i did , and he 'd use his family 's influence to make sure that i did . so who 's threatening who here , will ? daniel : jennifer , i know it was a lie . but it was an innocent one , right ? right , and nobody got hurt . and the truth of the matter is , nicole got really close -- both of us , we got really close to clearing his name . we 're getting him back into the priesthood . jennifer : right , but it was nicole 's idea , right ? daniel : okay , jenn , she was in love with him and trying to help him keep on being a priest . it was a pretty selfless act . jennifer : no , i agree . i know that she was doing what was best for eric . and , i mean , we were apart at that time , so it 's really none of my business . daniel : okay , no -- well , no , it is your business if it bothers you . jennifer : no , it does n't bother me . it 's just -- fooling eric , i understand how that would be nicole 's idea . it 's just so out of character for you . daniel : really ? well , i let ej think that rafe was the father of his baby . jennifer : oh , come on , daniel , please . i have lied so many times , horribly , to you , to so many people . daniel : okay , wait , hold on . you know what i think ? jennifer : i think you think i should just change the subject and -- daniel : uh , no , no , no . i think this goes back to the thing with theresa -- me not telling you the whole story . i mean , do you think that i was lying then ? jennifer : no , you never told me anything that happened ... daniel : well , i certainly ... jennifer : between you and theresa . daniel : let you think that something happened between me -- jennifer : yes , for jj . and you did that all for me . but this situation with nicole , it just -- it seems different somehow . daniel : jennifer , it really was just an act . jennifer : right , but it feels like this ongoing deception . that 's all . daniel : okay , i guess it was . jennifer : like you 're leading people to believe something that is n't true . and it 's just not like you to give a performance like that . you know , and nicole asks you to do it , and you do it anyway . eric : mom , what did you think you were gon na find out ? aside from her finding me in that hotel room and taking me to the hospital , not to mention risking her life on more than one occasion . what terrible , horrible thing is it that you think she did ? marlena : nicole was in love with chyka when he escaped . why would she let him go when she went to all the trouble of finding him ? eric : let him go ? mom , he was an armed , dangerous lunatic who tried to blow her to smithereens . maybe she did n't have a choice in the matter . john : i think what your mother meant here -- eric : i do n't need you to tell me what my mother meant . why did n't you ask chyka about kristen ? i mean , she is the one who destroyed my vocation , not nicole . marlena : i made a deal with stefano not to ask about kristen . all i wanted was the truth . eric : the truth is what ? tell us , mom . what did you find out ? marlena : it turned out that chyka confirmed nicole 's story . eric : you must have been crushed . marlena : no ! all i wanted was the truth . chyka said that he had overpowered nicole and he 'd escaped . and all she was trying to do was get information about what he 'd done to you . eric : but that 's what nicole said happened . i mean , god forbid anyone ever listen to what nicole says . you know what ? that 's it . let 's go , we 're done . nicole : wait , wait . eric , eric , eric , wait . please , do n't leave it this way with your mother . eric : i said that we were done . marlena : [ exhales ] john : just give him a little time -- marlena : no , no . do n't . daniel : can we stop talking about nicole and just talk about us , hmm ? jennifer : yes . daniel : yes ? jennifer : mm - hmm . daniel : okay . jennifer : but this , um -- daniel : hmm ? jennifer : this is n't talking . daniel : no , this is nonverbal communication , is what this is . jennifer : [ gasps ] oh . i see , okay . well , you need to cease and desist . desist , or i am taking my candy with me . daniel : wow . you drive a hard bargain , woman . jennifer : [ giggles ] well , i need to go anyway because we are making a new employee handbook , and i am on the committee . daniel : whoa , can -- what ? jennifer : oh , yes , i know , i know , you wan na give up your humdrum brain surgery for my fireworks of a job . daniel : yeah , please . please , can i just see the minutes to the committee meetings , please ? jennifer : oh , no , no . you do n't have clearance . it 's for my eyes only . daniel : wow . wow , you 're working your way up at that place . jennifer : i am . daniel : hey , uh , jenn ? jennifer : what ? daniel : um , listen . are you really okay with eric and nicole and all ? jennifer : yes , i am okay . i want things to work out for them , i do . daniel : oh , me too . okay . nicole : look , um , i need to go to work . do you mind if i just have a little alone time ? i need to take a shower and just ... eric : yeah . nicole : decompress . eric : okay . but before i go , i 'm gon na make a promise to you . i will never , ever let my mother or anyone else hurt you again . nicole : thank you . eric : are you sure you 're okay ? nicole : yes . 'cause i have you . mm . [ chuckles ] go . [ sighs ] [ panting ] oh , yes . these are the files . these are the files on eric and the drug cocktails . these are -- this is it . `` kristen dimera has contacted me , asking my help in a most unorthodox procedure , involving a priest . `` mm . well , look at that . partners in crime . [ shredder whirring ] sonny : so now nick knows what you need . do you remember what he was doing to you , when you hit him in the head with that rock ? is that what you needed ? gabi : he 's changed . sonny : how can you say that with a straight face ? gabi : i know you 're trying to help , okay ? but i do n't want anybody to tell me how i should feel about nick . so i just think that we should agree to disagree . i 've had a really , really awesome day , and i do n't wan na let anyone or anything bring me down , all right ? thank you for watching ari . sonny : [ sighs ] nick has changed . yes , for the worse . nick : i 'm just saying that -- that i want gabi to be a part of my life again . of course , it 's totally up to her to decide whether that happens , okay ? i just -- i wan na start over . will : you ca n't be serious . nick : will , i could 've put your mother and your grandmother in prison . i did n't . will : because then you could n't blackmail them . nick : oh , my gosh , jeez . you know , ask kate if i 'm earning my paycheck at mad world . go ahead , ask her . and furthermore , i 'm sure that gabi did an amazing job modeling for your mother today . will : what is it you want ? nick : what do i -- what do i want ? what i want -- i want what you have , will . i want -- i want people to like me . maxine : [ sighs ] liam : thanks for setting up . i do n't think the meeting should last more than an hour . maxine : okay . abigail : oh , i actually am not drinking caffeine , you know , just in case . sami : it 's ginger tea . it helped me through my morning sickness . abigail : if that 's what i 'm having and if i am actually pregnant . sami : abigail , honey , all those ifs . you 're not there yet . you just -- first things first , you need to know one way or the other . abigail : yeah , i know that . sami : finding out if you 're pregnant , that is a huge -- that is a huge thing . and you should n't have to go through it alone . if this guy that you were seeing has this other life or whatever , he 's not willing to be there with you , i am . okay ? i wan na help you . i do n't think you should have to go through this alone . so why do n't we go and buy a pregnancy test , and i will be there for you when you find out ? liam : it 's good to see you all . my name is liam . i wan na say right up front , i am not a doctor , and i am a rep for a pharmaceutical company . but this meeting is n't about a specific treatment . i 'm not pushing a product . i also want you to know that everything said here is 100 % confidential . the most important thing is to realize that you are n't alone and that there is help . so ... let 's talk about e.d . erectile dysfunction . sami : what 'd he say ? abigail : uh , sami , you 're being really nice , but , um , i do have to get back to work . and , you know , i think it 's best for me to just -- just get through this day and then go home and take the test , you know , by myself . sami : do you think that maybe you 're delaying taking the test because you 're afraid of what the results might be ? abigail , you are a wreck . i 'm sorry , but you are . and i just do n't want you to be alone when -- if -- if the results are positive . it 's just really big news , you know ? and -- and the enormity of it -- well , i just -- i just think it 's important for you to have someone with you when you find out that your life 's changed forever . abigail : right , uh ... sami : have you thought about talking to your mother about this ? abigail : no . no , absolutely not . will : so you feel sorry for yourself ? nick : [ chuckles ] no . i - i do n't feel sorry for myself . self - pity does n't get you anywhere , all right ? it does n't serve a purpose . what 's important is that i change the way people feel about me and the way they think of me . will : all right , well , it 's gon na take an awful lot to change the way that sonny or i or my mom or my dad feel about you , because we have brains and we have memories . nick : it will take time . will : it will take lobotomies . nick : [ laughs ] that 's really funny . um , i think you 're gon na be a great writer . you have a real way with words . i 'm serious . i 'm really serious . will : yeah , i hate your compliments more than i hate your slurs . nick : okay , uh , well , thanks for talking to me . and , will , um , you better see to it that your boyfriend does n't try to make good on his threats , because it wo n't end well . and i 'd appreciate it if you did n't try to turn people against me . will : and by people , you mean gabi . nick : she has a mind of her own . i know she wo n't listen to you . daniel : oh , hey , eric , eric . hey , i was gon na -- eric : [ yells ] what ? daniel : what ? what the hell ? did something happen ? eric : yes . yes , it has . john : eric will get over it . you know , in time , he will realize that you were just trying to help him . marlena : you know what , john ? john : what ? marlena : i do n't really care to hear your interpretation of the situation . all the anger and pain and suffering we are going through is all caused directly by kristen . and eric and brady and i are all suffering because of your arrogance and your stupidity and bringing that evil bitch back into our lives . yeah . roman : marlena . you okay ? marlena : roman . you 're not gon na believe what i 've done to our son . nicole : [ sighs ] this could be a letter , which could be from chyka , which could be about meeting kristen for the first time . oh , my god . who are you trying to kid ? really ? i mean , even if you did put this whole thing back together and proved what she did to eric , it 's not like you 're gon na use it , because you 'd lose him . [ sighs ] but ironically enough , after today , marlena 's strange attempt to get something on you , it 's -- it 's clear that everyone thinks there are n't any records to be looking for . they think they know the whole story , and marlena verified it . so i 'm totally in the clear . now more than ever . [ rapid knocking at door ] [ deep breath ] [ rapid knocking at door ] roman : john , could you give us a minute ? marlena : roman , you 're going to be upset when i tell you what i did to eric . roman : hey , do n't worry about it . just tell me everything . daniel : nicole , are you in there ? nicole : daniel ? daniel : yeah . nicole : uh , just a second . i -- okay , i 'm coming , i 'm coming . hi , hi . daniel : look , i just ran into eric , and he told me what happened . i just wanted to make sure that you -- you 're okay . nicole : yeah , i 'm fine . daniel : really ? 'cause that 's not what i 'm seeing here . you do n't look fine here . what -- what -- nicole : all right , i -- okay , no , i 'm not . it was -- it was pretty brutal . daniel : yeah ? yeah , well , i could see eric was still pretty upset . but you know what ? think about it this way . sounds like marlena is figuring out what eric and i already knew -- that you did everything right and nothing wrong . nicole : yeah , great . but look what it 's done to eric . okay , all he does is defend me . daniel : well , he should . come on , what -- nicole : look , he -- marlena and eric , they are very close , and they are gon na be in real pain . daniel : all right . well , maybe she finally learned the lesson . you are the most important thing in eric 's life , so she ca n't go after you , right ? nicole : it does n't -- still , this whole town is gon na think that she 's right and i 'm horrible . daniel : okay , stop with what people think . does it matter what everybody thinks if eric knows exactly who you are and loves you for it ? liam : i 'm going to give you some time to talk openly . i 'll be back in a few minutes with more information . [ door closes ] liam : [ exhales ] how about them cubs , huh ? who the hell wants to talk openly about being stuck in neutral ? hey , guys , it 's nothing to be ashamed about . yeah , right . yeah , sometimes i think back to high school , algebra class . never was a problem back then . yeah , and you always got called to the blackboard ? [ chuckles ] ah , those were the days . my wife 's so great . she 's really patient , but she finally asked if it was her . it 's not her . i still think she 's so hot . my partner and i are trying to have a baby , but i 'm not able to do my part . ej : i wish i had that problem . abigail : look , um , i 'm really grateful , sami . you have been unbelievably nice to me , so thank you . but you do n't have to worry about me . sami : i just really wan na help you . johnny 's crazy about you . so is ej , and you have been so great with me . i mean , teaching me about art , so i do n't make fool of myself in front of ej in italy . and your mom and i , we have been friends for a long time . and in spite of how she can be , she 's going to accept this , she is . abigail : i 'm sorry , wait . what -- what do you mean , `` how she can be `` ? liam : i 've been at a conference and have n't had a chance to get back to dr. bell about his order , so if you could just tell him that the forms have been processed and that i 've expedited delivery ... sure . liam : yeah , thanks . i 'll catch ya later , right ? oh , hi , jennifer . jennifer : hi . liam : i got ta say , i love working here . and just to be sure , after that misunderstanding , we 're good , right ? jennifer : sure , yeah . forgotten , in the past . excuse me . liam : no , it 's not . will : hey . sonny : mwah . looks like you 've had about as much fun as i have today . will : oh , my day was worse . nick wanted to share with me . sonny : yeah , that is worse . will : you know , when he tries to mimic human behavior , that 's when he 's creepiest . get this . he confided in me that he wants people to like him . i told him not to hold his breath . sonny : well , he may have his work cut out for him with everyone else . but with gabi , he has her right where he wants her . [ phone ringing ] gabi : yes ! nick : hey , uh , good news ? gabi : oh , yeah . the art director from my photo shoot -- he loved my proofs . nick : oh , my god . that 's -- that 's amazing . i stopped by to see how it went , and i guess i got my answer . wow , you look -- you look amazing . you look so incredible . gabi : thank you . come in , come in . nick : okay . um , i know that you 're still nursing , so i brought some sparkling apple cider to celebrate , just 'cause i knew it was gon na go well . gabi : i do n't know how to say thank you . [ both laugh ] nick : [ sighs ] sonny : you know , let 's just stop talking about nick , because he drives us both crazy . let 's talk about the wedding . will : well , that gets us crazy too , but in a good way . sonny : you know what i realized ? we have talked about every little detail for this wedding , but we have skipped over one really huge , important decision . both : who do we want to actually marry us ? [ both laugh ] gabi : okay , to you . nick : to me ? gabi : yes . nick : what do you mean ? i did n't do anything . gabi : oh , no ? of course you did . you -- you 've been right this whole time . i feel so much better about myself now that i 'm bringing in a paycheck , and , i mean , it 's even more than that . today , those people i was working with , they treated me like -- nick : what , like you should be treated ? gabi : i owe all of that to you . nick : come on , please . you would 've done all of that yourself . gabi : but i needed it now , and you knew that . you know me better than anyone . nick : um -- [ glasses clink ] nick : this is good . liam : no , you do n't have to get outdoor bathtubs to make it work , like in that commercial . i think that 's meant to be symbolic . of what , i have no idea . uh , one last question . and now , do we have to call a doctor if it lasts more than four hours ? liam : or you risk serious medical consequences . oh , but what a way to go . right , right ? hey , hey . liam : so i need to be going . feel free to stay on and look over the literature . take your time , okay ? all right . abigail : you 're marrying a dimera , and you 're throwing stones at my mother ? sami : no , i - i just meant -- well , she 's a little -- abigail : a little what ? nice ? kind ? considerate of other people besides herself ? sami : yes , yes , yes . of course , she is all of those things . abigail , let 's just say she 's led a very moral life . abigail : she has standards , for herself . she does n't judge other people . sami : look , i -- i 'm trying to help . and i realize that i am not doing that . and i 'm sorry . so , um , i know we both have to get back to work . um -- abigail : yeah . sami : please promise me , if you need anything , you will call me . abigail : right . thanks . sami : oh , um -- i - i meant to -- abigail ?

[ tags clatter ] yo ling : but i transcended all that , john . john : so you 're trying to say what ? yo ling : i 'm trying to say when timothy robicheaux died on that battlefield , a new being was born . the man known as robicheaux was left for dead , but he summoned a strength most men ca n't even imagine , and he escaped into the mountains of china . he recovered , he trained with masters of the martial arts . he rebuilt his strength . and he took the name yo ling . john : chinese for `` phantom . `` yo ling : yeah , and do you know where phantoms live ? they live everywhere and nowhere ... in the dark matter where no light exists . you ca n't see them , but they 're there . they influence everything you do , everything around you . john : well , i hate to disappoint you , but i can see you just fine . yo ling : i think not . despite the training that we gave you , you turned your back on us . you abandoned your commitment . see , i know everything . john : yeah , well , you abandoned your family . not to mention your country . yo ling : my country left me for dead . and now my mission is to right the wrongs of that sewer that you call western civilization . john : robin hood , huh ? yo ling : robin hood ? [ chuckles ] what did he know about justice ? what he did was a band - aid . we brought real change . i 've seen despots fall . i 've seen governments topple . our movement is synonymous with revolution . at the beginning , we were disorganized and irrational , but i was able to transform that chaos into the most effective organization of spies , assassins , and fighters in the world . i took a handful of passionate believers and created what the world came to know as the phantom alliance . john : so now i know who you are and what you are . how long you been watching me ? how long have you known that i 'm your son ? yo ling : a long time . have some tea . it 's a rare blend i imported from nepal . john : no ... yo ling : it 'll help you feel better . john : i 'll pass . consummate host . rafe : we 're trying to trace the call that told him to go to the warehouse . right now , we have a team at the warehouse going over it with a fine - tooth comb . marlena : well , then it was never about arianna and me . it was always about john . it 's that damn agency , and that 's how they work . rafe : okay . marlena : they wanted him back , so they tried to go through his family because they want him to kill for them again . rafe : and what else do you know about the agency ? marlena : i know there 's a place called the winterthorne academy , and that 's a recruiting center . you know , john is n't given to exaggeration . rafe : i know . marlena : john said the organization is evil , and he meant that literally . yo ling : nice cold shower . john : [ panting ] yo ling : the ultimate elixir . jumpstart the system . i 've used it my whole life . [ both grunt ] [ yo ling exhales ] john : looks like that took a lot out of you . yo ling : [ coughs ] john : maybe you ought to call up some of that inner strength other men can only imagine . [ laughs ] yo ling : you have a lot of anger toward me . john : yeah , 'cause you destroyed my life . yo ling : on the contrary , i offered you purpose . john : like hell . you turned me into a killing machine . yo ling : not `` machine . `` never machine . killing is sometimes necessary . you do what you have to do , but only for a higher purpose . so it 's not machine . it 's never machine . john : so tell me , father ... how many people have i killed ? do you even know ? yo ling : does it matter now ? when you arrived at winterthorne , everyone could see your promise . everyone could see your talent . your destiny was to follow in my footsteps . john : so you were the one who brought me there . yo ling : took me awhile to find you ... after your mother abandoned you . we traced you to the orphanage that you were placed in , but by the time i arrived , you had already been adopted by the alamains . john : just another piece of good luck . yo ling : i watched , and i waited . [ tense music ] after all , you were my only son . and when the time was right , we followed you to the alamains . we made them a financial offer they could n't refuse and promised to place you in the prestigious winterthorne academy . john : and they were more than happy to have you take me off their hands . yo ling : when you arrived at winterthorne , john ... i almost came to you , but i felt you needed to stand on your own . you were chosen for special training . groomed to be one of the alliance 's elite , and that proved to be a very wise decision on our part . john : so your minions brought me to winterthorne , and you just ... silently sat in the background and watched as they brainwashed me . yo ling : educated you . john : indoctrinated me . yo ling : educated you . john : indoctrinated me . [ suspenseful music ] yo ling : you were on the verge of commanding your own brigade . 250 men . then petrov betrayed me , took you , and delivered you to -- john : stefano dimera . yo ling : yeah . john : [ laughs ] and now , after all this time , you 've got me back . yo ling : i do . john : why is that ? yo ling : that 's the key question , is n't it ? gabi : wow , uh , i just -- i ca n't believe that our father was an assassin . rafe : well , he was in the same organization as john , so ... and he said he 's tried to cut ties with them several times , but they would n't take no for an answer . gabi : so they just took my baby ? rafe : marlena thinks john was the ultimate target , and ... since they took him , she 's probably right . gabi : wow . i just -- i ca n't believe my father 's an assassin . rafe : well , the fact of the matter is , we really know nothing about his past . gabi : yeah , and if he does n't make it through the surgery , then , uh ... we never will . kayla : um ... you should get going . you have that meeting with belle , right ? steve : uh , right . try not to worry , okay ? kayla : let me know what happens . steve : i will . joey : you two seem to be getting along . kayla : we have to stick together . joey : if you do n't forgive dad ... it 's like ava won . kayla : i , um , i have to get back to work . joey : do you think that -- do you think that all the stuff you guys found -- the shrine , the photos ... does that mean dad 's gon na get off ? kayla : i think it looks a lot better than it used to . look , your dad told me not to worry . i think we both need to work on that . i 'll see you later , okay ? steve : i mean , that proves she was a threat to us , right ? belle : well , it proves that ava vitali was certifiable . steve : look ... i do n't know if you can tell by the picture , but the writing on that is in blood . belle : wow , she not only lived in crazy town , she was the mayor of crazy town . steve : so that proves self - defense right ? i killed her to keep her from doing the same to kayla . belle : well , i do n't think it 's all cut and dry , um , and it does n't prove imminent threat , but it gives me something to play with . steve : `` play with `` ? belle : well , at the very least it proves mitigating circumstances , and it does document that she was not only blackmailing you , but terrorizing you . could explain why you did n't go to the cops when it all started . steve : i thought you 'd be more excited about this . belle : it 's not about how i feel about it . i have to take this to justin and see what he thinks . steve : what ? belle : well , i 'm just putting myself in justin 's shoes . i mean , if i was the da -- [ scoffs ] i would n't want to go to trial knowing all that was waiting for me . wish me luck . steve : i was hoping you would n't need it . john : [ grunts ] [ dramatic music ] yo ling : during my time in china , i learned the ways of the old masters . i learned eastern medicine . i used that to treat my men in the field . but unfortunately , i myself contracted an insidious disease . bacteria are the oldest members of the food chain , john . capable of eating us from the inside out . probably inherit the earth one day . fortunately for me , i 'll be long gone by then . [ coughing ] [ sniffs ] but i have no intention of leaving this planet early . there 's one thing standing in the way of my longevity . john : that 's what caroline brady had . yo ling : i followed her case , her recovery . [ coughs ] unfortunately , my condition is more advanced than hers . john : so you 're on a new mission ? yo ling : i 've been seeking a cure for a long time . several years ago , i ... heard about a serum that bo brady had discovered . [ suspenseful music ] john : so you 're the one who kidnapped him and tortured him , and you stole it for yourself . yo ling : no . i hired someone to get it for me . [ coughs ] unfortunately , i did not exercise sufficient oversight there , and i regret that . john : you regret that ? bo brady is dead because of you . and you were ready to have marlena and her grandchild end up the exact same way . yo ling : yes , that would have been unfortunate collateral damage . john : `` collateral damage `` ? what a great way to look at human life . yo ling : you are forgetting one of the basic tenants of our alliance ... which is the loss of a single life or even multiple lives is sometimes the price to be paid for a greater good . belle : here it is . clear proof that she was mentally unstable and a genuine and imminent threat to steve 's family . he had no choice but to stop her . i think you have to drop the charges against him . justin : belle , this evidence , your argument , it 's ... i guess the word i 'm looking for is `` laughable . `` belle : i do n't think the jury 's gon na be laughing when they see those pictures . justin : no jury is going to acquit steve once i explain exactly what self- defense means . it does n't mean smothering a woman half your size in a hospital bed . it does n't mean getting away with murder . belle : so you 're really going to argue that the woman who did this was not a threat ? justin : that threat could have been handled with a restraining order or reporting the fact that she kidnapped kayla . steve deliberately chose to do neither . in fact , i could argue , persuasively , i think , that by not having her arrested he was actually laying the groundwork for her murder . and then you start throwing words around like premeditation -- belle : no , everything that ava vitali did was premeditated . steve was just in reaction mode . justin : oh , i understand that , but steve went outside the law , and it 's not his first visit there . these are lurid , disturbing pictures , but they do n't change the facts of the case . steve johnson will have to stand trial for murder . [ dramatic music ] shawn : gotcha , thanks . toxicology report came in . rafe : uh - huh ? shawn : so the liquid that john and eduardo drank ... was laced with a narcotic that 's popular with asian street gangs . dead guy 's chest , the symbol that was on it ? rafe : yeah . it was a chinese symbol , and it stood for `` phantom . `` rafe : so this agency has its roots in asia . i 'm gon na call shane donovan and see if he 's got any information . [ cell phone beeps ] [ line trilling ] john : you call what you 've done the greater good ? [ scoffs ] i do n't think i 'd go claiming the moral high ground here . yo ling : you ever heard of the 38th parallel ? of what happened there in 1950 ? they teach you about that in your schools ? of course not . not the real story . the united states of amnesia . never tell . never tell the unvarnished truth . the coup of macarthur and marshall -- they overrode truman ... [ coughs ] and they took their armies , they crossed into the democratic people 's republic of korea , cutting down innocent people . women . children . whose only crime it was being born too far north . the united states of aggression . john : well , look who 's talking about aggression . help me with something . i want to understand what happened to that man that i read about in those newspaper articles ? by all accounts , timothy robicheaux was -- was a kind , he was a decent man , he ... never made a lot of money , but was known for his charity . yo ling : tim robicheaux was a nobody without the power or the resources to truly affect his world , but yo ling , yo ling became a man -- john : who talks about himself in the third person . yo ling : who makes a difference . john : so did stalin . yo ling : so did che . so did malcolm . mandela ... allende ... emilio zapata ... crazy horse ... [ chuckles ] but all of those men , they thought outside the box , and they left this world before their time . i do n't want that to be my fate . and that 's where you come in . steve : so you showed all those pictures to justin and he still wants to take it to trial ? belle : listen , i 'm not giving up on this , and neither should you . we 're gon na fight this . steve : yeah . well , it 'll be what it 'll be . if i ca n't beat it , i 'll do the time . i 've made my peace with that . [ dramatic music ] jade : hey , joey , slow down . joey : sorry . jade : you look awful . what 's wrong ? joey : nothing . jade : liar . come on , you can talk to me . joey : i ca n't . jade : look , you can trust me . get whatever it is off your chest . i swear i wo n't tell anyone . is it about your dad ... killing that vitali woman ? joey : he did n't kill her . i did . gabi : oh , my god , jj , your family . oh , my god , abigail 's wedding . you 're missing your sister 's wedding . jj : i will leave as soon as we find out your dad made it through surgery . gabi : oh , my god , i feel so bad about this . i 'm sorry . jj : do n't . do you have any idea how much i care about you ? gabi : [ murmurs ] oh ... thank god that you made it out of that warehouse in one piece . i do n't think i knew till now how much i really need you . [ soft music ] fynn : i have good news . your father 's out of surgery . it was a clean shot , so even though he 's lost a lot of blood , the damage was n't too extensive . rafe : okay , well , i need to see him . fynn : give him time to rest . rafe : that 's the thing -- i do n't have time . after my father was shot , they took another man . i do n't know where . now , i need to talk to my father . he 's our only hope of finding the guy . fynn : okay , just do n't get him excited . rafe : okay . tell my sister he 's gon na be all right . [ dramatic music ] [ machines beeping ] eduardo : hey ... arianna 's all right ? rafe : yeah , she 's fine . she 's with gabi . eduardo : thank god . rafe : and thank you . we both know that bullet you took was meant for me . eduardo : i was having second thoughts about it . it was too late to pull up . rafe : you need to rest , but i need to talk to you . marlena : eduardo -- oh ... do you know where john is ? eduardo : john 's missing ? rafe : it looks like the alliance took him . eduardo : they 're trying to turn him . they 'll try to turn him . rafe : all right , hey , hey , hey , hey . you 're not going anywhere . you wan na help john , talk to me , all right ? tell me everything you know about this damn alliance . eduardo : [ sighs ] joey : i thought she was my friend . i thought -- i thought that i loved her , but everything she did was to tear apart my family , and i knew that as long as -- as long as she lived , she would n't stop . jade : the night of the party , you were telling me about an older woman who broke your heart . that was her . joey : i left the party to go to the hospital . to make sure she never woke up . and my dad showed up and he saw and he told me to leave , and he stayed and he took the blame . [ exhales ] it 's okay if you hate me . i do . i mean , what i did was horrible , but letting my dad take the blame , that 's even worse . jade : joey , you were pretty drunk that night , and ... i get how people can get pushed to the edge . joey : i went over the edge . jade : you know , what your dad is doing is pretty great . if it were my dad , he 'd let me rot in prison . joey : i know he loves me , but this is ... jade : maybe he 's doing what he thinks is right . joey : so should n't i do what i think is right ? if my dad gets convicted , i wo n't be able to live with myself . kayla : justin should schedule surgery , and i would be happy to remove that big stick that is so far up -- [ exhales sharply ] i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry it 's just easier for me to be mad at him than to think about what could happen to you . i did n't think this day could get any worse . steve : why ? kayla : john is missing , and marlena thinks that the alliance has him . [ dramatic music ] steve : oh , my god . rafe : they each had one of these carved on their chest . translates as `` phantom . `` eduardo : phantom alliance . that 's the group that john and i worked for . we killed for . rafe : can you give me some names ? eduardo : none that would help . most of those men probably had six or seven fully documented identities . rafe : what about the people that you answered to ? it 's very rarely the same person twice . it 's one level of encryption on another . i 'm pretty sure i never met anyone from the highest ranks . rafe : where are they based ? eduardo : nowhere and everywhere . marlena : do you know where they took john ? eduardo : i 'm so sorry . john : so what do you want from me ? yo ling : something very personal . in addition to the advanced stage of topits , i 've developed an acute blood disease . if i can heal that quickly , i can buy the time i need to cure the topits . john : so what does chaining me to a post have to do with any of that ? yo ling : i need fresh , healthy , compatible blood . who 's a better source for that than my own son ? my belly pain and constipation ? joey : i ca n't let my dad do this . his lawyer just told him the case is going to trial . i 'm a minor -- they 'll be easier on me . jade : joey , i think your father knows what he 's doing . joey : do n't you see ? i do n't have a choice . i have to turn myself in . [ knock on door ] gabi : excuse me ? could we come in for a second ? fynn : i think you fall under the heading of `` good medicine . `` just keep it calm and do n't stay too long . gabi : okay . hi . eduardo : hi . gabi : how are you ? eduardo : i 'm okay . gabi : we just wanted to come in and say thank you . eduardo : she 's okay ? gabi : yeah , yeah , she seems to be doing fine . jj told me that you -- that you saved rafe 's life , and i wanted to say thank you for that . eduardo : you should n't thank me , gabi . i put all of you in danger 'cause of my insane life . there 's so much i need to tell you . gabi : listen , listen -- eduardo : so much i need to explain to you . gabi : i know , but the doctor says you should just keep it short and quiet , and , um , yes , you have some explaining , but we 'll -- we 'll have time now . thank god .

[ suspenseful music ] in order for me to continue -- john : continue what ? there is no greater good , damn it ! you are just a sick old man who got rich by training and selling heartless assassins . yo ling : not a penny has gone in my pocket . i own nothing . now there 's a chance ... that what i 'm asking you for will cost you your life . john : and that 's supposed to come as a surprise ? yo ling : but you 'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you died for the future of this planet ... and for a sacred cause . | yo ling told john about his past . rafe told marlena what went on at the warehouse . yo ling woke him up . john confronted yo ling about turning him into a killing machine . john wanted to know how many people he killed , but he would n't tell him . they went back and forth over what happened to john . john wanted to know what yo ling wanted from him . steve got ready for his meeting with belle . joey wanted kayla to forgive steve or else ava would win . steve met belle and showed her the pictures he took of ava 's shrine . belle took it to justin . yo ling told john he had a disease . yo ling told john what he did to get the cure . |

[ knocking on door ] chloe : hey , rex . i 've got some treats for you . rex : chloe , hi . diana : what an outrageous accusation . shelly : i do n't think so . considering that yesterday -- the day dr . evans got sick -- i helped you access confidential hospital information including personnel files . diana : yes , so i could write my exposé . i needed proof that dr . evans knew nurse chen was undocumented and she did n't tell anybody . shelly : and while you were looking for that proof , you could 've very easily pulled dr . evans 's medical history and found out that she was severely allergic to penicillin . you could n't care less about this hospital 's practice of employing illegal aliens . you 're not really a journalist , are you ? diana : of course i am . i used to own `` the spectator . `` and you can look it up . shelly : or you could just tell me what you 're really doing here . diana : all right . now your suspicions are getting offensive . not to mention unfounded . i have no idea why you would think i had anything to do with dr . evan 's unfortunate allergic reaction . shelly : you mean poisoning . diana : by the way , my sources tell me that nurse chen was taken into questioning by the police . so is n't that perfect ? because i do n't need to tell you how dangerous these illegal aliens can be . shelly : i do n't think nurse chen had any reason to hurt dr . evans . but maybe you do . i think we should let the cops sort this one out . diana : you do n't want to do that . kayla : normally , an antibiotic would n't raise any red flags because it 's not a controlled substance . but after what happened to marlena , i went to the medical records department to have them check for any irregularities . brady : and what 'd you find ? kayla : well , as it turns out , the day marlena got sick , someone did withdrawal a vial of liquid penicillin . and it was not given to any patient . john : who checked out the drug ? kayla : one of our nurses on staff here . shelly santos . shelly : are you threatening me ? diana : [ chuckles ] no . i 'm just saying i had nothing to do with marlena 's most recent brush with death , but it is an odd coincidence that this all happened after you let me into her office , after you gave me access to the hospital computers , and after you loaned me your very own key card . ah - da - da - da . when i say all this out loud it sounds like the police will be very interested in talking to you and to me . shelly : you used me . lied to me . i had no idea what you were planning to do . diana : first of all , i did n't do anything . but if i 'm accused of any wrongdoing , you are the one who 's going to have a problem proving you were n't involved . shelly : i would never help you hurt dr . evans . diana : okay . so it is my word against yours . and just so you know , when i was going through those personnel files that you helped me get into , i took a peek at yours . shelly : you had no right to do that . diana : [ chuckles ] you 're not very popular around here , are you , nurse shelly ? seems you 've had your own run - ins with authorities over the past few years . it seems that even your last job you got fired for repeated acts of insubordination . shelly : that was in the past . diana : no , i do n't think so . because since you 've been here , again and again you have problems with authority . you have attitude problems . and dr . johnson even reported you ... for bad - mouthing the hospital to patients ? shelly : all of that was cleared up . diana : still , i get the impression your colleagues wo n't come to your defense . you really should have been nicer to them . shelly : i do n't care that people like me . i care that they respect me . and around here , they do . i 'm a damn good nurse . so i 'll let my work speak for itself . diana : so you really do like this job ? shelly : i love this job . i took an oath to help people . that 's why i need to tell the truth about dr . evans . about what you did to her . diana : and if you open your big mouth , you will go down right along with me . you hear me ? you will lose your license , you will lose this precious job you say you love so much , which some illegal immigrant like the chinese chick will be more than happy to take away from you . shelly : maybe that 's a chance i 'm willing to take . diana : is it ? eric : amen . sarah : sorry . eric : you okay ? sarah : yeah , yeah , i 'm just ... i 'm not really good at ... all this . eric : what makes you say that ? sarah : um ... i guess it 's kind of embarrassing to say it in here and to you but ... i do n't know if i buy it . the whole ... praying thing . eric : in what sense ? sarah : i just ... i wonder if it works . eric : i can only speak for myself . i ca n't imagine my life without it . sarah : you do n't think it 's a little , like [ hums loopy tune ] talking to someone in the sky that never answers ? eric : god always answers . just not with words . sometimes he ... sarah : or she ... eric : [ laughs ] sometimes he or she just allows you to listen to your own voice ... long enough to allow you to hear what 's going on in your heart . sarah : that sounds like a good friend . eric : i think that 's how he sees all of us . `` greater has no love than this and to lay down his own life for his friends . `` sarah : john 15 : 13 . eric : i 'm impressed . sunday school ? sarah : sunday night football . there was a guy that used to hold this big ol ' sign with that written on it at the bears games . and before i knew anything about the nfl or football , i just thought it was , like , some obscure stat , but then i looked it up and it 's -- it 's all about love . can i ask you .... why did you stop being a priest ? rex : i 'm sorry about the lack of proper attire . chloe : well , i 'm sorry i interrupted your shower . rex : no , it 's totally cool . what 's going on ? chloe : the kids and i baked some cookies and we had some extras , and i 'm not sure if you eat cookies , but i wanted to bring some as a thank you for helping me with brady 's goon . rex : oh , yeah . how are you , by the way ? you were , rightfully so , so shaken up after that , and i still feel awful about the whole thing . chloe : it 's not your fault , and i 'm fine . the kids are fine , so please , try one . rex : oh , thank you . that 's really sweet . chloe : okay , you know what ? i think i 'm just gon na leave these on the table and go . rex : actually , would you mind sticking around for just a bit ? i could actually really use a friend to talk to . gabi : once again , i am not jealous of chloe . stefan : hm . that kiss you walked in on sure made you all hot and bothered . gabi : oh , well , i think the word you 're looking for is nauseated . i mean , it is sickening the way that you lured chloe into your home just so you could put your moves on her . stefan : lured ? no . gabi : yep . stefan : i invited her to live here to protect her from a mexican drug cartel . gabi : right . yeah . i 'm sure it has nothing to do with your preference of pursuing vulnerable women . stefan : you ... are just dying to know what we did after that kiss , are n't you ? gabi : me ? ew . what ? no , please , okay ? for the record , my feelings about you and chloe , they fall somewhere between mild disgust and complete indifference . stefan : hm . the lady doth protest too much . gabi : you know what ? get over yourself , okay ? if you and chloe want to play house , that 's none of my business . my business is getting this product into stores for the holidays . stefan : well , my feelings on that product fall somewhere between mild disgust and complete indifference . no . i 'm saying no . i do n't like it ! gabi : you 're saying no to the pillow ? stefan : i 'm saying no to the pillow , the complete gabi chic home collection or whatever you call it . gabi : are you -- i 'm not gon na let you ruin this for me . stefan : you can whine and complain all you want . i 'm the ceo , okay ? there 's nothing you can do about it . gabi : i can call shin . yes , i can . i can call him right now and tell him -- what are you -- stefan : what are you gon na do , call daddy every time i say no to you ? gabi : no , just every time you 're being a brat ! give that to me ! stefan : no , you 're not -- gabi : are you serious -- [ phone cover shatters ] give -- did you crack my phone ? you cracked it ! stefan : i did n't crack your phone . gabi : look at it , right here . stefan : you need glasses . it was probably already like that . gabi : you need ... stefan : i did -- what ? what -- [ laughs ] what are you gon na do ? attack me with your ugly pillow ? gabi : you know what ? maybe i 'll just smother you instead . leo : is it hot in here , or what ? limu emu & doug leo : my god , you could cut the sexual tension in here with a knife . gabi : oh , please . i hate this creep ! he makes me sick ! stefan : you know , you keep saying that , but anyone with two eyes could see how bad you want me . gabi : i want you to disappear . stefan : you see what 's going on here , right ? how she ca n't contain her desire , how desperate she is to be with me , you see it , right ? [ laughs ] leo : i recognize that . you used that heinous thing to cover my private parts on valentine 's day when you tied me up naked to the bed . gabi : oh , no , that 's a different one . i had yours burned . stefan : wow , gabi . when you said `` decorative pillow , `` i did n't quite know what you mean , but now i do . thank you . gabi : shut up , okay ? leo : be careful with this one . she 's not just kinky . she 's twisted , too . once she had me all trussed up , she came at me with a pair of scissors . gabi : what is it that you want , you little worm ? i know sonny gave you the iron boot . leo : well , as i told the hottie guarding the front door -- i think he said his name was ben -- i have some important business to discuss with you , mr . dimera . [ door opens ] rex : [ sighs ] chloe , thank you so much for waiting . i figured i 'd better put on some clothes if we were gon na talk . chloe : hm , good call . rex : so are you sure you can stay ? you do n't have your kids or have to be at work or anything ? chloe : you know what , a conversation is the least i could do since you almost took a bullet for me . rex : well , i would take on an entire army if it meant getting another plate full of those cookies . chloe : oh , well , i 'm glad you like 'em . so what 's going on ? rex : by the way , what is the secret ingredient with these things ? is it like vanilla or ... chloe : hm , okay , rex , what 's bothering you ? rex : okay , fine . so brady was here , and he and eric actually got into a pretty big fight . chloe : about what ? rex : a few things . but mainly about nicole . chloe : oh , no . what happened ? rex : well , eric brought her up , but brady just took that ball and ran with it . chloe : oh , i remember the bruises on their faces after their last fight . please tell me no punches were thrown . rex : no , no , punches , but it was pretty heated . you see , apparently , brady 's not over the fact that eric stole the woman that he loved . but more than that , brady said that he hoped the same thing would never happen to me . eric : why did i leave the priesthood ? well , it 's complicated . sarah : if you do n't want to share , you do n't -- eric : no . no , no , it 's okay . i have nothing to hide . okay , long story short , it goes back to when brady was engaged to kristen dimera . he heard from my mother that kristen had done some things , so he officially called off the wedding . sarah : knowing what i do about kristen , i take it that she was n't too happy about that . eric : she wanted revenge and used me to get it by making a nonconsensual sex tape . kristen drugged me , got me into bed , and videotaped us . eventually , brady and kristen got back together , but the tape had resurfaced and , unknowingly , my mother , she had played it at the wedding at which i happened to be officiating . sarah : eric . i am so sorry . that had to be so painful . eric : it was devastating . sarah : was it ... did it make you lose faith ? eric : [ exhales ] almost . and there was a time that i was lost . found myself in some troubled times . i knew i had to kind of work through it . i had to find my own path , even though i was n't a priest . in time , i found my way back to god and in my life . sarah : i 'm really proud of you . that took courage . so in a way ... nicole really was n't the first woman to come between you and brady . eric : i was n't with kristen , i mean , brady thought initially i was , and the way the tape was edited , the church , they thought it was consensual . sarah : they saw it ? eric : yeah . yeah , the bishop opened an investigation . then i was officially suspended and relieved of all my duties . sarah : but you did nothing wrong . eric : not with kristen , but with nicole , even though it was driven by my love for her . it hurt my brother very much . john : i want to see that nurse , kayla . where is she ? kayla : well , i do n't know exactly . i just know that she 's on duty . brady : we got ta find her . let 's start looking -- kayla : no , no , listen . brady : why not ? kayla : because if she 's involved , we need to page her . brady : no , you do n't want to page her . why would you want her to know that we 're coming for her ? kayla : no , look , i know you guys are upset . i 'm upset too , but we need to let the hospital administration and , if necessary , the police handle this . john : forget protocol here . i want to talk to nurse santos right now . shelly : i 'm right here . in an era of online retail , leo : information , as they say , is power , and i have a boatload of it . stefan : on what ? leo : titan . gabi : wait , what do you mean titan ? you have n't worked there since you framed sonny for sexual harassment . leo : i 've been living at the kiriakis mansion . i 've had the pleasure of listening to victor and his merry band of morons plotting their evil deeds . in other words i 'm sitting on a giant pile of inside dirt that i 'm happy to shovel in your direction . stefan : [ chuckles ] how do i know it 's not a giant pile of poo ? leo : [ scoffs ] i detest that family . i want nothing more than to watch that company go down in flames . even if it means i have to go head - to - head with my new brother , brady . sarah : i thought that you and brady had moved on from what happened with nicole . eric : yeah , we tried . but things are still pretty bad . sarah : something happen with you two ? eric : right before you called to tell me about my mom , brady and i started getting into it again . thankfully rex was there to break it up . chloe : [ chuckles ] brady can be very passionate about things . he 'll say or do things without thinking them through . rex : like hiring an armed bodyguard to protect you and not tell you about it ? chloe : [ sighs ] yeah , and i 'm still mad at him about that , but i know that he was just looking out for me , and that 's what friends do . rex : and the friendship goes both ways ? like , you have his back too ? chloe : yeah , i try . i mean , i care about brady a lot , and i just ... i want him to be happy . rex : do you ever talk about what exactly went down with nicole or ... chloe : yeah , i was there , and i helped him work through a lot of that . it was just a really bad time in his life . he was angry and drinking . rex : well , look , as somebody who almost detonated his own relationship , i can definitely speak to the importance of taking responsibility . chloe : yeah , especially after so much time has passed , i 'm sure that brady can now clearly see the situation and has moved on . rex : and that warning that brady gave me about eric ? chloe : well , like i said , brady 's passionate . sometimes he just says things . he might have been lashing out or ... unless you think something 's going on between eric and sarah ? john : do n't you even think about lying to me . brady : we know you took the penicillin from the pharmacy and you used it to poison marlena . john : what are you doing ? why would you do that ? why would you try to kill my wife ? shelly : i didn't . i swear . but i know who did . kayla : who ? shelly : there was a woman . she convinced me to give her my keycard . john : what woman ? [ sinister music ] diana : if you breathe a word , you will pay . diana : i might as well come clean . the cops are gon na find out that i helped you eventually . diana : not if they have somebody else to blame . shelly : like who ? diana : oh , believe me , i have the perfect person . john : who 's this woman you 're talking about ? i want to know who tried to kill my wife . shelly : her name is kristen dimera . brady : kristen dimera 's dead . john : it would n't be the first time she came back from the grave . keep talking . shelly : i know that awful woman came here and tried to kill dr . evans once before . her face was all over the news . that 's how i recognized her . kayla : you 're saying that you saw kristen here yesterday ? shelly : she approached me . she said that she 'd kill me if i did n't do everything she asked . john : including giving her access to the pharmacy ? shelly : i was terrified . i 'm so sorry about what happened to dr . evans . please forgive me . what are you doing ? john : i 'm calling the cops . [ line trilling ] we got ta track down kristen before she hurts anybody else . gabi : so you could n't stay married to sonny , so now you 're going around town , telling everybody your brady 's brother . what 's next ? are you gon na tell everyone that prince harry 's your long - lost cousin ? stefan : [ laughs ] i 'm assuming that you have dna tests to back this up . leo : john is having one run down at the hospital . i have n't seen the results yet , but i 'm certain they 'll prove i 'm half black . stefan : i 'm sorry ? leo : you know what i mean . stefan : yeah , okay . so is brady aware of your familial connection ? leo : i told him this morning . he did n't believe me of course , but once he sees the results , he 'll have no choice but to embrace me as his own flesh and blood . stefan : does n't always work out that way . leo : well , i have every intention on getting close to my new brother , who also happens to be the ceo of titan -- you see where i 'm going with this . stefan : yeah , yeah , yeah . so , you 're gon na pump brady for information and then pass it along to me ? leo : bingo . in exchange for some sort of compensation . [ both scoff ] gabi : there you go . see , there you go . the sneaky little weasel . he struck out over at the kiriakises so now he 's crawling on over to dimera , trying to sell something he can not deliver . leo : this is a legit offer . stefan : [ clears throat ] leo : you want to bring down titan , and i have what you need to do it . gabi : thank you , but no thank you . we 're not interested . stefan : habla por ti mismo . i make the decisions here . rex : eric and sarah are ... they 're friends . they 're just friends . chloe : hm . you do n't really sound so convinced . rex : look , when sarah first got back to salem , she and eric were -- they were tight , and in spite of a rough patch , they still are . chloe : yeah , you mentioned that . so it does n't bother you at all that they get along so well ? rex : no . no , it doesn't . i ... i like the fact that my brother and a woman that i love are close . just not too close . chloe : okay . rex : i see that look . chloe : i know that sarah was there for eric when he lost nicole and helped him through a dark time in his life . rex : and i 'm glad for that . i really am . but you -- you did n't notice things go from , like , supportive to romantic ? chloe : hm . no ? i do n't know . i mean , even if there is a hint of chemistry between them , there 's no way eric would go there after what happened with brady . sarah : i 'm sorry about you and brady . eric : it 's like taking one step forward and ten steps back . we did have a nice moment at my mom 's bedside . we both said that we would try harder to get along . brady might have just been saying it for her benefit . sarah : well , at least things with rex are all right . eric : so have you made a decision ? about his proposal ? sarah . i meant what i said to you the other day at the pub . rex loves you . and he is committed to doing whatever it takes to make this happen . and i know you have your doubts about my brother , but i really really think you should trust him . sarah : what if he should n't trust me ? diana : i 'm glad i saved some of this for you , marlena . kristen and i both tried it with sweets . now it 's time for a more direct approach . here 's hoping the third time 's a charm . john : the salem pd sure got here fast . santos has got to be down at the station giving her statement right now . brady : i just ca n't believe that kristen is still alive , dad . and she had the nerve to come back and go after marlena again . john : it does n't surprise me . she 's been gunning for doc for years . brady : i just thought that this time -- this time she was gone for good , and she 's not . john : you know what i 've learned , kid ? never make an assumption when it comes to the dimeras . oh , hey , hey , doc . hey . hey , sweetie . i 'm right here , sweetie . i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm right here . i 'm gon na take good care of you . i 'm gon na watch over you until the minute you come back . leo : do we have a deal ? stefan : i 've heard about you . mr. cooper . mr. starke -- i like that one . mister , uh , whoever . i know that you are completely untrustworthy . leo : you ca n't believe everything you hear . stefan : in this instance , i can . leo : so that 's it ? you 're not even gon na give me a chance ? stefan : no , no , no , hold on . i did n't say that . now , if you can back up all this big talk here and bring me something of real value , i might be interested in doing business with you . leo : you wo n't be sorry . i 'll let you get back to your foreplay . gabi : [ sighs ] you 're an idiot . i mean , he totally played you . stefan : i can handle leo . without going to the lengths that you did . did you really tie him naked to a bed ? gabi : who 's jealous now ? rex : you know what ? you 're totally right . i love sarah , she loves me , and i trust my brother . chloe : yeah , eric 's a good man . rex : he is . speaking of eric , he 's actually still at the hospital . he 's been keeping vigil for marlena , and i 'd like to get down there to see if there 's any updates . chloe : yeah , please tell everyone i 'm praying for marlena . rex : i will do that . hey , thank you for sticking around and being such a good friend . chloe : you 're welcome . rex : and thank you for these . eric : why would n't rex be able to trust you ? is this about what happened with xander ? it was a mistake , and we all know this , and it 's never gon na happen again . sarah : i 'm not talking about xander . eric : what are you talking about ? sarah : listening to my heart .

'cause it kinda looks like history repeating itself , brother . kinda looks like you moving in on one of your brother 's women yet again . [ tense music ] rex : what 's going on here ? brady : rex , i hate to be the bearer of bad news , but ... there is something you need to know . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] rex : what -- what bad news are you talking about ? brady : kristen dimera is alive . eric : what ? brady : yeah , apparently , she 's the one that poisoned marlena . rex : wait a minute -- i thought she died in that -- that chemical explosion in nashville . brady : yeah . everybody -- everybody thought that . but xander ended up being alive too . eric : this does n't make sense . who saw her ? brady : there was a nurse that claimed she saw kristen ... and she threatened to kill her if she did n't let her in marlena 's office and the pharmacy . sarah : which nurse ? brady : her name was shelly santos . she 's being questioned by the p.d . the point is , i was looking for a quiet place to make a call to some of my guys to see if they could keep an eye out for her and , uh ... that 's when i ran into you two . sarah : [ small laugh ] what a weird coincidence , 'cause eric was just telling me all the awful things that kristen has done to your family . brady : is that right ? that 's -- that 's what i walked in on , huh , you two talking about kristen ? john : i ca n't even believe that we are back here again , kayla . you know , last year , we almost lost her bec -- ohh ... i ca n't believe i let this happen -- what the hell is the matter with me ? was i so damn naive to think that kristen could n't be a threat ? i should have known better when they never found her body , but i let my damn guard down ! damn it , i 'm sorry , doc . i let you down , honey . kayla : you know what ? the police are out searching for kristen . you have a guard posted at the door . you 're right here by her side . she 's safe . nothing 's gon na happen to her now . [ intense music builds ] ben : hey , you have a minute ? stefan : sure . what 's up ? ben : first of all , i wanted to make sure it was okay i let that leo starke guy in -- he insisted he had some type of business offer . he seemed harmless enough . stefan : yeah , yeah , yeah , as annoying as he is , in the end , he may prove useful . ben : good . second of all , all the new security cameras have been installed , mainly in front of the kids ' and chloe 's room . stefan : good . keeping them safe is my top priority . ben : i know that . you made that loud and clear . anything else i can do for you ? stefan : no . no . you 've been working around the clock . why do n't you take a break , get outta here , go do something and clear your head . ben : well , thank you , but , uh , i do n't have anywhere else to be . julie : so you 've finally seen the light about ben ? yes ? no . ciara : actually , grandma , um , he broke up with me . and i 'll explain why ... if you promise you wo n't bash him , okay ? julie : my darling , i 'll try . go ahead , tell me . ciara : ben was totally freaked out after he saved me from jordan . and even though she 's his sister , he 's not sure that he would have been able to stop himself from hurting her if rafe had n't come in . julie : i see . ciara : and because of that , he , uh ... he 's afraid he might be a danger to me . julie : he may have a point there . ciara : no , grandma -- ben would never hurt me . julie : darling , you say that now , but if he himself has doubts ... ciara : i think that ben is falling into a self - fulfilling prophecy . he seems himself as someone who 's too damaged to live a normal life , to be a decent person , someone who is deserving of love and respect . and without someone telling him that that is not true ... grandma , eventually , he 's gon na become the monster that he fears he already is ... john : [ whispering ] my precious wife . you know you are the love of my life . i - i think i remember ... during our vows , you said that you wanted us to grow old together . okay . well , i consider that a promise , and that 's a promise that you ca n't break , and i 'm gon na hold you to that , doc , because we got a long ... we got a long way to go , girl .

[ john sobbing ] john . [ john sobbing ] what 's wrong ? john : we 've lost her . diana : oh , god . i am so sorry . john : right before she took her last breath ... she opened her eyes and she said that ... she wanted me to be happy . she wanted me to , uh ... to move on with someone else . diana : how selfless of her . john : i thought about those words ... and the only person i would wan na move on with is you . diana : oh , john . john : i mean , we have a son together . i 've missed most of his life . i would just love for you , me , and leo to be a real family together -- what do you think ? diana : oh ... that sounds wonderful . john : oh ... wait , wait . i - i ca n't -- i ca n't do this right now . diana : oh , yes . too soon . too soon . john : naw . i just ca n't do this with doc lying in here like that -- too creepy . diana : [ laughing ] john : that 's better !

[ sighs ] why ca n't anyone just accept that and give him the same chance abigail got ? maybe if the entire population of salem would stop calling ben a monster , maybe he would n't see himself as one . stefan : you really have no place to go ? so ... you are determined to stay away from miss ciara brady . ben : look , i have to forget her . stefan : even though you love her ? ben : hey ... however i feel , i do n't want to run the risk of hurting her . stefan : do you really think you would ? ben : i do n't know . i just have this fear of this darkness inside of me , and i do n't know if i 'm ever gon na be able to fully control it . sarah : brady is just lashing out . he has no idea what he 's talking about when it comes to eric and me . rex : right , right . i -- i -- you 're right . you would never go after my own brother . although , you might be justified in doing so , based on what happened with noelle and me . but look , i ... i 'm not worried about you . i 'm more worried about eric . not that he would ever purposefully hurt me , but it -- he could get attached to you . i mean ... what guy would n't get attached to you ? you 're kinda perfect . sarah : you know that 's not true . rex : well ... i think it 's true . but given what happened with eric and brady over nicole , i -- sarah : look , whatever you 're thinking , i -- you never have to question your brother 's loyalty to you . he 's never come on to me , and he never would . it 's just ... not who he is . eric : i want you to just hear me out . brady : you want me -- [ laughs ] what , about what i saw ? i do n't need to hear it . rex does . eric : no . it 's not what it looked like . brady : what was it ? i mean , did your and sarah 's lips just happen to bump into each other by accident ? let me ask you something . how long have you and sarah been doing this behind rex 's back ? eric : brady , that is not what is happening . brady : so what are you doing ? just -- you 're gon na deny it all ? eric : listen . i 'm not pursuing sarah horton . that 's all i 'm gon na tell you . that 's all you need to know . [ dramatic chords ] john : why would you think your mother would try to kill doc ? leo : well , i do n't know if you 've noticed , but she kinda has a thing for you . john : yeah , well , she knows that i 'm 100 % committed to marlena . leo : which is a good motive for her to want her out of the way . john : to poison her ? god , leo . no , no , no , trust me when i tell you that that is not the diana that i remember . leo : [ exhales ] living with my fa -- with richard was a total nightmare . his anger , his darkness . she and i were both traumatized by it , damaged . so do i think she could have done this ? i know that she 's capable of anything -- even killing your wife . [ ominous chords ] ciara : um ... [ laughs ] so what do you need me to do now , grandma ? you need me to clean the glasses or something ? julie : ciara , i am sorry that you 're so upset , but -- ciara : but what , grandma ? julie : [ laughs ] sometimes you remind me so much of your mother and father . ciara : is that a good thing or a bad thing ? julie : good ? it 's wonderful ! you know that . bo and hope were always fighting for the underdog because ... because they had big , loving hearts just like you have . they always wanted to give everybody ... a chance . ciara : maybe mom just needs to be reminded of that ? julie : well ... she 's not likely to be so open - minded where her own daughter is concerned ... when she 's worried about your safety . 'cause you 're precious to her . as you are to me . ciara : then ... can you try to see this any other way ... any other way , grandma ? i mean ... grandpa was a conman when he first came to salem , and people gave him a chance just like they gave abigail . i mean , people can change , grandma . julie : under most circumstances , i would say yes , everybody deserves a second chance , but darling ... a third and a fourth ? ben may be all rehabilitated now , but what if he has a relapse ? what if he needs to hurt somebody and the somebody 's you ? ciara : he would not hurt me . he would never do that to me . julie : well , what if he hurts someone else ? could you live with that ? ciara : grandma , he has turned himself around . okay , yes , he did something that i did n't approve of , which was working for stefan dimera , but at least he is way far away from that right now . julie : well , actually ... ciara : actually what , grandma ? what ? julie : i have to assume he did not tell you . he is working for stefan dimera again . stefan : you know what i think ? i think ... you 've been reading too many `` incredible hulk `` comics . [ ben chuckles ] whatever you 've got inside of you , ben ... is n't going to turn you into this big , scary monster . ben : i almost killed my sister . stefan : she was trying to attack ciara -- what were you supposed to do ? ben : no you do n't understand . i come from a messed - up family , okay ? my father -- a terrible , violent dude . i have his blood running through my veins , and not only that , he engrained this sadistic behavior in me since i was a kid . nature or nurture -- it does n't matter , man -- either way , i 'm screwed ! stefan : i do understand . i - i get the whole sins of our -- our father fear . i did n't know my father stefano , that fine gentleman over there on my wall . but i do know that he was obsessed with marlena evans . which may partially explain my obsession with abigail , or her alter , whatever you wan na call it . but that does n't mean i 'm -- i 'm doomed to obsess over only unobtainable women or cursed to walk this earth alone , ben . look , just because our fathers , you know , directly or indirectly set us up for failure does n't mean that we have to fall into that trap , understand ? we can ... we can break the cycle . we can be decent people . we can have love in our lives . but you got ta want it . got ta want it . ben : do we deserve it ? stefan : i absolutely believe i do . but you must decide that for yourself . take a break . [ uneasy music ] leo : you must think i 'm awful for trying to pin this on my own mother . john : well , it 's -- it 's obvious that , uh ... the two of you have a difficult relationship . leo : difficult ? try nonexistent . she and i never connected . she claims that she did n't understand me . and i have never forgiven her for staying with that monster i thought was my father . john : i 'm sorry , leo . sounds really rough all the way around . leo : yeah , i - i thought that things would be better after he was gone , but she even blamed me for his death . john : why ? [ dramatic music ] ciara : so ben is working for stefan again . how do you know that ? julie : well , as i mentioned before , chloe took the day off because ben is installing some security cameras at the dimera mansion . ciara : right . well , i , uh ... i guess i understand why he took the job . he ... he needed the money , and no one else would hire him and ... since we 're not even together anymore ... julie : ciara , would you mull this over ? do you think being around a guy like stefan could drive ben into a downward spiral ... again ? ben : is your son right ? can we break the cycle ? or are we just doomed to follow in our fathers ' footsteps ? well , clyde used to always tell me how much he loved my mom ... right before he beat her to within an inch of her life . she lived her whole life in fear . as much as i wan na be with ciara ... i 'm not sure if i wan na run the risk of condemning her to that same fate . rex : hey , sarah . look , i promise i will not let brady 's words get to me . especially since eric has been so supportive of you and me . sarah : it 's true . rex : has he talked to you , encouraged you to accept my marriage proposal ? sarah : yeah . yeah , he has . rex : any progress ? sarah : rex . rex : [ laughing ] i 'm sorry . i told you i would n't push , and i won't . although , you do know it 's like the hardest thing i 've ever had to do . sarah : yes , you 've made that very clear . rex : i just ... i wan na wake up every morning next to your beautiful face . and i wan na go to bed every night ... next to your beautiful face . you do know how much i love you , do n't you ? sarah : i do . rex : [ small laugh ] and i ... i ca n't wait to hear those two words , hopefully on our wedding day . brady : so you 're not pursuing sarah . eric : i 'm not pursuing sarah . brady : see , i 'm confused .

[ scene_break ] clint : dr. mandrake 's just an old buddy . he used that m.d . to score me some , you know ... quality stuff . why ? theresa : yeah , because he left his number when you were in such a rush to get out of town . clint : oh . now that that 's settled . theresa : wait , nothing is settled , okay ? uh , where have you been ? and why did you bolt on me ? and why -- why did your number change ? clint : see , i -- theresa : you what ? clint : i borrowed money from the wrong people . and it got kind of dicey for a while . i did n't want you to get caught up , so i split . theresa : okay , but now you think it 's okay for me to be caught in the middle because ... clint : i settled up my debts , okay ? it 's all good again . theresa : really ? clint : really . baby , i could n't just kept going and never looked back , but i missed you so bad . please do n't hold it against me . i swear i 'll make it up to you . theresa : well , you better . clint : you have no idea how happy you just made me .

[ chuckles ] you obviously know a lot about that stuff . jade : no , i do n't . that 's why i 'm reading all of that , because i do n't want to mess anything up , especially not with you . i do n't want to be ... that clingy girl that makes you want to run the other direction . i just want to make you happy . that 's another thing a girl 's not supposed to do ... talk too much . joey : [ chuckles ] jade ... it 's not that you talk too much or that i ca n't open up about my feelings for you . jade : then what 's wrong ? joey : [ sighs ] the reason i 've been avoiding telling you that i love you ... and believe me , i do n't want to hurt you . that 's the last thing i would want to do . i just -- i do n't feel the same way . jade : but you said you did before . joey : look , you 're one of the strongest , bravest people i know . and just because i do n't love you the way that i thought i did does n't mean we ca n't still be friends , keep living together . jade : well , at least you were honest . i mean ... it hurts . it hurts a lot , but ... that 's one of the things i love about you . you always tell me the truth . you 're not a phony or a player . you are kind of commitment - phobic , though . joey : [ chuckles ] jade : read an article about that recently . joey : [ chuckles ] jade : anyway ... friends ? joey : friends . i 'm gon na go check out the snack machine .

[ soft orchestration ] sarah : okay , i 'm a mess , but when you give me ten minutes to get ready , you can not expect perfection . xander : but that 's exactly what i got . sarah : liar . xander : sarah , you look so beautiful , so beautiful that you might want to change the plans . how about dinner in bed ? sarah : mmm . down , tiger . okay . oh , my god . xander : what ? sarah : look at that . i got dressed , i combed my hair . put on some lipstick , even a smile . i have n't seen this woman in forever . xander : well , it 's good to have her back . sarah : mmm . mickey 's gon na be okay . i have my life back finally . and this nightmare is over . it 's really over . xander : it really is . sarah : i still feel guilty . i feel like i should be at the hospital with her . xander : sarah , please , eric 's with her -- she 'll be fine . it 's like you said , the nightmare is really over . we have nothing to worry about . nicole : it 's not possible . eric : nicole , what 's not possible ? nicole : i -- eric : what ? nicole : okay . you 're gon na think i 'm jumping to conclusions or that i 'm crazy . eric : what 's new ? nicole : i 'm serious . eric : so am i . so what 's going on ? brady : of course , you wanted to hold mickey . we had just been talking about rachel . they 'd be exactly the same age . i 'm sorry that eric said no . kristen : well , he said that mackenzie 's immune system is compromised and that she could n't be around people yet . i still think it 's more than that . you know , look what i 've done to eric , your family . i mean -- i mean , it was big of him not to throw me out . brady : you are not the same person anymore . things are different now . kristen : for us , yeah . but do n't expect your family to buy into it anytime soon . brady : they -- they will come around . [ knock at door ] john : hey , kristen , it 's john black . i know you 're in there . i 'm not going away until we talk . [ knock at door ] i 'm bad . evan : well , thanks for your help . orpheus : you certainly needed it . evan : here we go . orpheus : son , you always were a clear thinker , but this time -- this time , you really outdid yourself . you want your son back , so you murder his mother . then you move in with a police detective . evan : to be with my son . orpheus : and then when the noose starts tightening , you take your son and you make a run for it . but first , you stop to propose to your latest paramour , waving a gun -- that always works . evan : just give me a break . orpheus : and then you let some slip of a girl take the gun from you and march you off to the prison -- evan : maybe i should have just put everybody on a yacht and blown them up ! orpheus : be careful how you speak to me . your life and your son 's life are both in my hands . do you have anything you want to say ? evan : i 'm sorry . sorry , sir . orpheus : forgotten . is n't this nice ? three generations in one seedy motel . family is everything , is n't it ? evan : so you had trouble putting him to sleep or no ? orpheus : i played my pan flute . evan : it 's weird . usually he throws a tantrum if he does n't have his train . lani : we bumped into him right over here . eli : he was carrying a bag of groceries . rafe : from which store ? lani : i think the one around the corner . rafe : let 's go -- maybe they can give us a description . brady : hey , dad . john : there she is . any idea where that microchip you call your daddy took my wife ? kristen : no . john : he told you he was stefano , what else did he tell you ? brady : dad , she said she did n't know . john : any dimera crypts or dungeons you want to tell me about ? brady : okay . why do n't we go downstairs ? i 'll buy you a beer -- john : there 's a maniac that 's trying to annihilate my wife . i do not want a beer , okay ? brady : i understand . i do n't want you going crazy though , okay ? i 'm a little worried about you right now . john : well , guess what . seeing you holed up in here with her makes me a little worried about you . you never know when she 's gon na take a pot shot at somebody . brady : all right , hey . that 's off limits . kristen : no , it 's okay . he can be angry . and you know what , john , i should have told you when steve came to me . but i did not know he was my father . brady : and that 's an honest mistake , dad . he looked and sounded just like steve johnson , right ? kristen : come on . and even if i knew -- i mean , knew it was even possible ... i - i thought he was only here to take the business over . if i would have known that he was after marlena , i would have told you , john . and if i knew anything about him now , i swear to you , i would tell you . john : wow . why is it that i do n't believe a word you say ? nicole : eric , i 'm sure i 'm wrong , it 's just that -- eric : it 's just what ? nicole : well -- dr. raynor : sorry to interrupt -- i wanted to talk to you -- is sarah here ? eric : she went out to dinner . dr. raynor : oh . well , would you tell her `` goodbye `` for me . eric : `` goodbye `` ? what , you 're leaving ? dr. raynor : i was offered another job . and i 'm leaving tonight . nicole : well , that 's kind of abrupt , is n't it ? dr. raynor : yes , i guess it is . i would n't be leaving if i was n't absolutely sure that mickey was in really good hands here . dr. wedret will be taking over , and she 's the best . eric : thank you for everything you 've done for my daughter . i really wish you the best of luck on your new job . dr. raynor : thank you . bye , sweetheart . be well . eric : well , that sure came out of nowhere . nicole : would you excuse me ? i 'll be right back . eric : yeah . kristen : john , i am so sorry for what you 're going through . brady : that does n't excuse him calling you a liar . kristen : last mother 's day , marlena and i found a way to , what , coexist ? yeah , i know we -- we both would do anything for brady . john : how touching . but it does n't disguise the fact that you are a dimera and you will cover for your old man no matter what he does . brady : right , this is n't really going anywhere , is it ? kristen : you know what , if i hear from him , i will tell you . john : right . brady : come on -- john : sorry , kid , i 'm just a little stretched right now . brady : i know . i know . do n't worry about it . you 're gon na find her . you always do , no matter who you 're up against , you know that , whether it 's stefano , anjelica deveraux , hattie -- hell , dad , even orpheus . evan : where did it go ? orpheus : the train ? i dropped it on the way back from getting groceries . evan : you took him out to the grocery store when the whole city is out looking for him ? orpheus : i did n't take him . and watch your tone . evan : you left him alone ? orpheus : i did n't leave him . i had someone watching him . evan : who ? orpheus : mary poppins . christian , as i told you before , you and that child need my protection . so do n't question my methods . in fact , thanks to me you are here , he 's here , and rafe hernandez does n't have a clue where either one of you are . rafe : all right , so no one can remember the guy in the hoodie . lani : no . and now he can be anywhere . i should have stopped him . eli : what now ? rafe : there are security cameras all over the square , let 's hope one of them caught this guy on tape . sarah : there 's no one here . xander : that 's the idea . sarah : does the food suck or did you buy the place out ? xander : i bought it out . [ both laugh ] i , uh , did n't want a bunch of other men just staring at the most beautiful woman in the place . sarah : oh , i definitely am that now -- you got rid of all my competition . xander : i thought you deserved some peace and quiet . sarah : peace and quiet , that does sound wonderful . [ pop ] xander : well , instead of hospital coffee , how about some champagne ? and instead of paging dr . whoozit and orderly to triage , how about some pleasant music ? [ laughs ] xander : oh , you 're laughing . i have n't heard you laugh in ages . and it 's such a good laugh . sarah : mmm , not really . xander : to mackenzie horton , a perfectly healthy , perfectly beautiful baby , with a perfect mother . sarah : to mickey , and well , to be fair , gabi hernandez . xander : i 'm not big on being fair . sarah : she did donate the bone marrow that saved mickey 's life . xander : i mean , 'cause it was her get out of jail free card . sarah : that 's true . and i do still hate her guts , but she did come through for us . and what about dr . raynor ? i mean , it 's thanks to her that mickey got well , and that i still have my daughter . nicole : i have to talk to you . dr. raynor : get your hands off me . nicole : it 's important . it 's about mackenzie . dr. raynor : sorry ms . walker , i can only discuss her condition with dr . horton and mr . brady . nicole : and xander kiriakis ? dr. raynor : damn it . nicole : i 'm not asking about her condition . i 'm asking about her identity . i just noticed that mackenzie has a faint birthmark on her neck . and so did brady and kristen 's baby . you remember rachel , the baby you delivered the same exact night mackenzie was born ? dr. raynor : what are you trying to say ? nicole : i 'm just asking , do you think it 's possible that mickey is really brady and kristen 's child ? evan : i 'm not questioning your methods . and i 'm grateful for your help . orpheus : what i fail to understand is why you never call me before you commit these catastrophic blunders . evan : i did n't want to put you out . orpheus : i should have tracked down that jordan woman . i know enough not to strangle a person before they tell me what i need to know . but , uh ... that little murder was n't premeditated , was it ? evan : no . it wasn't . orpheus : no . i did n't think so . i did n't think you planned to have a convicted serial killer discover the body and conveniently take the rap for you . that would have been slick . but even after that gift from heaven , you stayed around mooning after little kiriakis and allowed that nancy drew to bring you down . evan : okay , you know what , you 're right , i screwed up . i screw everything up . but i stuck around to be with my son . i did everything i did to be with my son . orpheus : yeah . you 're a devoted father . like me . evan : there 's -- there 's something that i did n't tell you . orpheus : you failed algebra ? evan : [ scoffs ] when ciara took me to stop the execution , marlena evans was there . orpheus : sounds like her idea of a good time . evan : i knew her the second i saw her , but she did n't know who i was . orpheus : well , you and your sister were very young when she took care of you . it was only for a few months . evan : i heard she 's been kidnapped by steve johnson . only he thinks he 's stefano dimera . orpheus : [ laughing ] well , let 's hope it ends horribly for all of them -- john , marlena , kayla , and especially steven `` patch `` johnson . i really hate people who try to kill me . kristen : orpheus -- i 've heard that name before . who is he ? john : he was an old isa agent partner of mine . he went rogue , he kidnapped marlena , forced her to raise his kids . brady : couple years ago , he broke out of prison . he and clyde weston and xander tried to blow up the town . john : he kidnapped marlena again -- this time along with kayla . he locked them in coffins , set them on fire . thank god steve and i got there in time . kristen : and what happened to -- what happened to him ? john : well , he and steve struggled for a gun , orpheus got shot , and the paramedics declared him dead at the scene . damn ! brady : what is it ? what ? john : i just remembered being so grateful to steve for helping me . and now all i want is him dead . dr. raynor : who else have you talked to about this ? nicole : no one . dr. raynor : keep it that way . even though this is a wild supposition based on nothing more than a birthmark . i mean , just imagine how upsetting this could be not only to mickey 's parents but to ms . dimera and mr . black as well . i mean , have n't they all been through enough ? nicole : there is more than a birthmark . babies were born on the same night , within few hours of each other . and mickey has a birthmark exactly where brady said rachel 's was . dr. raynor : ms. walker , i was in the nursery when ms . dimera 's baby died . nicole : are you sure it was kristen 's baby ? dr. raynor : of course i am ! there are procedures , protocols , all designed to make an accidental switch impossible . nicole : what if it was n't an accident ? dr. raynor : what are you saying ? who would do such a thing ? nicole : your friend and mine , xander kiriakis . oh , oh , oh , ozempic ® ! rafe : i sent the train down to the lab . so now we 're just waiting for security footage from the square . eli : yeah , i know a guy over there -- let me see if he can speed things up . eli : great . lani : rafe , i 'm so sorry . i know this is killing you . rafe : i just keep telling myself that evan loves david and he would n't let anything to happen to him . but yeah , then i realize that he 's crazy . so yeah , yeah , it 's killing me . eli : hey , they just emailed you the footage . rafe : let 's pray to god there 's something there . evan : so the paramedics steve called actually worked for the isa ? orpheus : pamela vandamm was head of isa then . and she presumed i 'd be willing to give up my secrets in exchange for my life . may she rest in peace . evan : natural causes ? orpheus : accident . and while it 's been convenient to be presumed dead , it 's actually been a little hard . i 've had to lie low , and it 's difficult to access resources . evan : i know . that 's why i went to sonny for money . orpheus : ohh ... wonder if i could get you to refrain from using that name again ? evan : i was in love with another man , dad -- deal with it . orpheus : it 's not his gender i object to , it 's his species . kiriakis . ca n't abide them . evan : you 're always so easygoing . well , you do n't have to worry about sonny anymore . he 's back with will . david 's all i have now . john : sorry i barged in here like that . brady : no , no , no . it 's okay , it 's okay . listen , you keep me posted on marlena , all right ? john : yeah . kristen : john . i 'm gon na be praying for marlena . but if anyone can find her , it 's you . john : yeah . thanks . well ... dr. raynor : will you keep your voice down ! why in god 's name would xander kiriakis switch those babies ? nicole : for sarah . what if it was sarah 's baby that died that night ? she was in labor in a car that was hit so hard it killed adrienne kiriakis . dr. raynor : the baby came here and was given a clean bill of health . nicole : `` a `` baby was given a clean bill of health . xander did n't want sarah to know that her baby died , so he switched them . i know firsthand what that man is capable of . dr. raynor : but he could n't have done it . he could n't just waltzed into the nursery and walked out with a baby . nicole : i see your point . xander could n't have done it alone . you know , right before mickey 's procedure , i caught the two of you in a rather intense conversation . i warned you about him . i told you what that man was capable of . but you already knew , did n't you ? 'cause you 're in it with him . and this is n't the last time i caught you two together . dr. raynor : he wanted to know about the baby . nicole : why did you come back -- to renegotiate your payment schedule ? how odd is it that i saw you two shaking hands and then right after that , you 're like , `` ta - ta , i got to go , `` huh ? where 's the fire ? is that money burning a hole in your pocket ? dr. raynor , have you forgotten your oath ? i think you did a whole lot of harm . sarah : oh , my god . i ca n't eat another bite . xander : aw , i ordered creme brulee . i 'll just tell the chef to cancel it . sarah : not unless you want me to stab you with this steak knife . xander : there 's that smile again . can i tell you something ? sarah : sure . xander : when mackenzie was sick , i could see what it was doing to you . i mean , i felt it too . not just because i love her like she 's my own kid . i mean , i hurt for you . sarah : yeah , i could feel it too . xander : that 's never happened to me before . i 've never loved someone so much that i felt what they were feeling . look , i know you know my history with women . it 's , uh ... awful . but you make me never want to be that man again . sarah : i do n't think you have to worry about that at all . xander : not if i 'm with you . see now , for better or worse , when you 're in pain , i 'm in pain . but when you 're happy , i am happy . so i have a vested interest in keeping you happy , right ? sarah : i would say so . xander : to that end ... sarah : what are you doing ? xander : sarah horton , will you marry me ? sarah : [ laughs ] lani : stop , stop . right there -- that 's the guy ! rafe : ca n't see his face though . eli : it 's like he knew where the cameras were . lani : all right , rafe . play it slowly . there , that 's not a bad shot . can you zoom in right there ? it 's hard to make out his features . rafe : yeah , but there 's something familiar about that guy . orpheus : you think you could alight somewhere ? evan : sorry . i was thinking . orpheus : god help us . evan : i know that rafe let me go on bail so that he could have me followed . and even though i 'm david 's father , he still has legal custody . so he 's gon na do everything he can to get him back and send me to prison . orpheus : son , you have a firm grasp of the obvious . evan : dad , please . until i figure something out , i need to come up with a way to keep him at bay . xander : not exactly the reaction i was looking for . sarah : i 'm so sorry . it 's ju -- this is -- this is our first real date . and you 're proposing . xander : fine . maybe this is the first time i 've actually taken you out to dinner properly . but we 've been side by side for the last year . sarah : yeah , but we just officially got together . and i mean , this is a little unconventional . xander : unconventional ? we slept together when we barely knew each other , when you could n't stand the sight of me -- we 've always been unconventional . you and rex were conventional to the max and look how that turned out . sarah : point taken . xander : i love you and you love me . so why wait ? sarah : we do n't have to rush this though , xander . i 'm not gon na go anywhere . xander : i ca n't risk losing you . sarah : baby , why would you lose me ? xander : it 's just -- look , good things do n't happen to me very often . so when they do , i have to grab on to them so they do n't slip away . and you 're the best thing that 's ever happened to me , sarah . you 're funny and smart and you 're so beautiful . and for some reason , you seem to love me back , even though i 'm -- what did you call me ? sarah : dopey . xander : dopey . so i 'd be a real idiot not to do everything in my power to make you my wife , right ? sarah : well , i could n't possibly let you be an idiot . and you 're already so dopey . xander : please tell me that 's a yes . sarah : that was a yes . [ xander laughs , sarah squeals ] dr. raynor : you 're out of your mind . baby switches only happen on tv and in the movies . nicole : i did it myself . dr. raynor : and you 're judging me ? nicole : i 'm not proud of it . but i did it for love , not money . and now it 's more than just money , is n't it ? why are you so desperate to leave town ? because you 're scared , are n't you ? and you have every reason to be . dr. raynor : i have another job . nicole : that money you took to cover the baby switch , you thought you were just getting paid for services rendered . and now xander has made it very clear that he bought you with that money . he owns you . and if you so much as look at him cross - eyed , you could lose your license , you could go to prison . dr. raynor , i saw you wince when he shook your hand . that was n't an agreement . it was a threat . dr. raynor : and what do you think eric brady will say when you tell him you want to take his daughter and give her to his brother ? do you think he 'll ever feel the same way about you again ? well , here 's your chance to find out . eric : i was wondering where you went . dr. raynor : she was just thanking me for everything i did for your baby . and now i 've really got to run . excuse me . according to her daughter , brady : you were really great with my dad . thank you . i was gon na go take a shower . i do n't know if you wanted to join me maybe . maybe ? kristen : maybe -- it sounds like a plan to me . brady : yeah . i 'm gon na go warm up the water .

jack : it 's a toaster , jennifer . you push the little thing down , the little wires heat up , the toast toasts , and up it pops . how hard can it be ? jennifer : i just do n't think you should really do this to yourself . bring it to a repair shop , jack , or better yet , just buy a new one . i mean , these are n't -- they 're not that expensive . why do n't you just give up toast until we get a new toaster as one of our wedding presents ? jack : no . this toaster has miles of toast left in it . we 're going to trade in the new ones for one of those low - fat he - man grills . now , give me space , and give me quiet . jennifer : you have no idea what you 're doing , do you ? jack : nary a one . brady : hey , granddad . nicole . victor : brady . this is a surprise . brady : yeah , it is . is everything okay ? nicole : better than okay . i ca n't speak for victor , but i happen to be deliriously , orgasmically happy . ca n't you tell ? brady : no , not really . victor : of course not . nicole 's being sarcastic . she 's not happy at all . she 's peeved with me . you see , usually , she goes riding every day after breakfast , and today i insisted she come to a stuffy old board meeting with me instead . nicole : oh , i am not all that peeved , vic . actually , it 's such a wohyhy cause -- the annual fund drive . i 'm just happy to be here by my husband 's side . victor : actually , i 've been meaning to call you , brady . i understand that chloe 's being prepared for her transplant . brady : yes , um , she went through radiation . now she 's getting chemo . victor : how 's she doing ? brady : fine . a little weak , a little tired , but that 's to be expected . she 's going to be cured , and , uh , her life is going to be normal again , so it 's all going to be worth it . victor : yes , of course . brady : you do n't sound convinced . victor : well , we 're all praying for chloe . it 's just -- it 's youinvolvement with her that i 'm not too thrilled with . brady : i 'm sorry . i do n't remember asking for your approval . victor : well , would you deny me my opinion ? brady : your right to give it to me -- yes , i definitely deny that . victor : i just do n't want to see you hurt , brady . that 's my only concern . brady : hurt ? i love her . my life means nothing without her . victor : yes , i heard the same thing from philip , then she broke his heart . brady : this is not about philip , damn it . that was totally different . victor : why is that , because you 're right for her and he was n't ? or couldt t be that there is no difference at all , that she just hurts everyone she gets her hooks into ? abe : lighten up , bo . you know , we all get frustrated when these creeps walk , but that 's not our business . bo : well , we should make it our business . that was a clean arrest . i had that punk dead to rights . he did n't even go to trial . you know what the hell happened ? abe : anything can go wrong , bo . you know that . it could be a stupid technicality , a lost or contaminated piece of evidence ... it could be a hundred reasons , but a slick lawyer only needs one . bo : yeah , because the system says it 's better that a hundred guilty men go free than one innocent man be wrongly convicted . i do n't buy that . neither should you . roman : you know , what if shawn were one of those innocents that went down for something he did n't do ? bo : roman ... it 's tragic if anyone is wrongly convicted . that goes without saying . but neither one of you can deny that lately there has been an increase of the number of cases that have been thrown out or dismissed . abe : but it 's not the big guys . it 's usually the nickel - and - dimers . bo : so what , abe ? murder , theft -- it should n't make any difference . you do the crime , you do the time . anything less is unacceptable . where we belong ! jack : do n't you have something better to do ? jennifer : no . do n't you ? [ cellular phone rings ] [ ring ] jack : hello , yes . yes . yes . yes ... no . harold , i 'm going to cover it . carson palmer 's holding a press conference , and i 'm going to cover it . jennifer : what ? oh , i wish i could go with you , jack . jack : you know , i 've had a very funny feeling about carson palmer . jennifer : yes , i know . after he tried to squelch that interview with you at larry welch 's sentencing . jack : i do n't like him . ergo , i do n't trust him . firstly , i do n't trust him , so i do n't like him . either way , a press conference with a lot of people around is a perfect opportunity to do some digging , see what i can find out . jennifer : here . good luck , jack . jack : wish me -- uh , right -- luck . jennifer : okay . jennifer : ha ha ha . oh , you poor soul . brady : okay , first of all , chloe does n't get her hooks into men . that 's demeaning and downright unfair . and the only `` men `` you could possibly be speaking of are your son philip and me , since we are the only two people that chloe has ever been involved with . now , the failure of their relationship -- philip and chloe 's -- had nothing whatsoever to do with chloe . it had everything to do with philip -- his jealousy , his possessiveness . he drove her away , and he knew it . before he left for the marines , he took full responsibility for all of his mistakes , and accepted chloe and me as a couple . now , i wish that you could do the same . i 'm not asking you to like chloe . i 'm asking you to stop tearing her down . you understand ? victor : i do , and i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to ... tear chloe down . as i said , my sole concern is for you -- brady : stop worrying about me , okay ? i 'm fine . i 'm lucky as hell to have chloe in my life , to have my health . you want to be concerned about someone , be concerned about her . pray for her . victor : i will . brady : you see , chloe is going to get through this , and i 'm going to be waiting for her , waiting to celebrate her as a cancer survivor , that she does n't have to be sick anymore or tired or worried . she 's going to be carefree again -- both of us will be . and we 're not going to take a day of that for granted . my god , it 's going to be such a relief , such a relief . bo : what 's the latest addition to monell 's rap sheet ? abe : he shot an innocent kid in a botched drive - by . bo : oh , great . abe : apparently , he was aiming at a rival gang member . bo : do we have him this time ? abe : witness i.d . 'd his car , but by the time the officers stopped him , he 'd ditched the weapon . bo : so what you 're telling me is he could walk again . abe : hopefully the victim will recover and be able to identify monell as the shooter . bo : and if not ? i 'm going to go down to the hospital , see if i can get a statement . roman : you know , there 's been a major increase in gang activity since the weather broke . abe : nothing unusual in that . roman : yeah , but it 's not your usual turf wars . in fact , shootings like that are almost becoming an aberration . instead of going after each other , they 're going after the small - time dealers and bookies -- just shutting 'em down and taking over their businesses . abe : so , what do you think that means ? roman : i do n't know , i do n't know , but my gut says these gangs are being manipulated . somebody is controlling them , and they are supplying them with enough guns and money and dope to wipe out the independents . bo : you know what ? if there is a mr . big , i 'm going to nail the stard . and that is an arrest that 's going to stick . maab to ts mi . nen l ftu eibatanan sng u t smooth backside rode us you 're down below where have you been ? let 's check out the mute grab up top , though . look at the style on off the box . it 's no secret this is our big impressed the crowd . the last , 900 -- gets all the way around . kind of checks it a bit there , jack : jennifer . jennifer : ho ho ho ! jack : are you all right ? what 's taking -- jennifer : ho ho ho ! i hope you have been a really good boy this year , jack . jack : jennifer ? jennifer : no , i 'm santa . and if you do n't believe in me , you are not going to be getting what you want . > acack ; : oh , i believe , i believe . jennifer : well , that 's a good thing then , little man , because then -- let me sit on your lap here for a minute -- you 're going to get exactly what you want since you do believe . jack : oh , do you mean like a motorcycle or a sports car orn n infomercial pec blaster -- jennifer : no , no , no . no toys . nope . jack : no toys , then wh - what else is there ? what ? jennifer : my whole life , i have only loved one man , and that love has been tested over and over and over . but i think it 's the tests that have made us stronger . and you 're the man that i love , and i want to be your wife again . so ... there we go . if you could just help me down . okay . jack deveraux , will you marry me ? jack : jennifer -- oh . jennifer : oh ! ha ha ha ha ! it 's the pillow . jack : miss horton ... yes . yes , i will marry you . jennifer : ha ha ha ha .

carson : i 'd be happy to , mr . deveraux . victor : your main concern now is chloe 's health . i mean , that 's all that really matters , and all that should . i was insensitive . i apologize . bo : hey . am i interrupting ?

victor : yes , of course . brady . brady : take care , granddad . bo . bo : excuse us . bo : the day larry was sentenced , he changed his plea . then i arranged for you to speak with him in private , and he changed it back . i need to know what you said to him . victor : is n't it obvious ?

victor : well , i pointed out to him that if he was reneging on his deal with the d.a . to take his chance with a jury , that that was a big mistake . if he was doing it for the sadistic satisfaction of continuing to put hope and her family through hell , then that satisfaction would quickly pale when the judge handed down a death sentence , whici had the ability to make happen . bo : that 's what we call coercion . victor : bottom line , bo -- larry welch spends the rest of his life in statesville . that 's what really matters , is n't it ?

i can think of a million things i 'd rather be doing than going to some stupid board meeting with a bunch of rich dirty old men looking down my blouse while victor gives away a bunch of money . brady : i do n't believe you . nicole : well , tough . you know , why the hell do you care , anyway ?

kate : you son of a bitch . you set me up . he set me up ! stefano : how did i force you to make this blunder ? kate : you used victor to play me . stefano : [ chuckles ] victor kiriakis ? you were in contact with ... taking cues from a sworn enemy of this company ? gordon : is this true ? stefano : tell us , katerina ... were you conspiring with victor ?

'cause everything between us is completely finished . eve : i 'm not talking about us , you idiot . i 'm talking about paige . jj : well , there 's nothing else to say about paige either , 'cause i 'm going to get her back , and there 's nothing that you can do to stop me . eve : jj , please , if you 'd just listen to me , you 'd see -- jj : no , i 'm done listening to you . get the hell out . kate : i did n't conspire with victor . victor called me to let me know that stefano was going to try to steer me away from glendora tech , the implication being that stefano wanted the company for himself . stefano : i spoke to victor ? kate : you must have . unless , perhaps , mr. kiriakis wanted to manipulate you . you two have a long- standing relationship , do you not ? gordon : kate ? kate : i resent the implication that i would ever -- gordon : kate ! you bought shin 's company . if you did that because you relied on victor kiriakis -- kate : it 's a great company , and it was a smart buy . stefano : [ chuckles ] i doubt mr. shin would share that view . gordon : stefano 's right . this is a mess . kate : i agree . valdez : you 're not an innocent bystander . you did it . what kind of due diligence did you perform in the matter of this critical acquisition ? kate : time was of the essence , so we ran an expedited check . gordon : which obviously missed the most important facts . i 've just gotten an email from a source close to shin . he 's describing this purchase as a hostile takeover . valdez : good god . he 's threatening to leave the board . gordon : this is n't even our biggest problem . ms. roberts has purchased the company of a sitting board member -- a clear conflict of interest . the sec is going to investigate . merkel : that could destroy dimera enterprises . valdez : what should we do ? stefano : that 's not up to me . ask your ceos . jj : eve , i do n't want to hear a word you have to say . i never want to see you . and i want to forget these last few months completely . eve : as if you could . i mean , you got to admit they were kind of unforgettable , were n't they ? the way you screwed things up royally . jj : yeah , i did . and i 'm going to make things right with paige now . eve : it 's too late for that , jj . and i do n't care what kind of deal your mother extracted . and i can stand back , and still , even though paige does n't know all the gory details , she knows . she knows that you 're untrustworthy , unstable , and unworthy of her . and , you know , that is the god 's honest truth . she 's never gon na take you back because you pushed her away one too many times . abe : hi , harold . uh , look , cook let us in . theo got a gift for his uncle chad . is he around ? harold : no , but i 'll make sure it gets to him . hope : oh , gosh , i 'm sorry . would you excuse just a second ? abe , you promised theo you would give it to chad in person ... abe : yeah . hope : which you know you have to do . he even deputized me to make sure it happened . abe : yeah . so can you tell me where i can find chad ? stefano : [ whispering indistinctly ] chad : what the hell 's going on , kate ? kate : hardball . so just keep your mouth shut until i give you the sign , and then you back me up . chad : okay . [ cell phone pounds on table ] kate : could we please come back to order ? this situation can easily be resolved . stefano : really ? kate : yes . the deal can be unwound . i 'll talk to mr. shin myself . he 'll see that it was a huge misunderstanding . when the transaction is reversed , then i will deal with the sec . before markets close tonight ? kate : excuse me ? dimera stock started dropping 30 minutes ago . we 're down 3 % . kate : where is he going ? chad : [ clears throat ] kate : are you trying to destroy our market value ? stefano : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . why are you yelling at her ? kate : the only way the stocks could be going down is if someone is leaking information from this room . or someone did the research you should have and knows we 're in trouble . gordon : this has to stop right now . i move that we reinstate stefano dimera as ceo of dimera enterprises , effective immediately . melanie : you need to stop eavesdropping and get a life . theresa : [ laughs ] oh ! from the woman who has nothing better to do than poke around in mine , huh ? melanie : okay , that 's fair . but i 've stopped digging around in your life , and now you need to leave me and brady alone and stop stirring up trouble 'cause you 're jealous . theresa : jealous ? oh , honey , please . come on , i am so over your loser boyfriend . and as a matter of fact ... i 've been dating somebody else . melanie : who you 'd drop in a second if you thought brady would look at you . it 's time for a reality check . theresa : what passes as reality to you , princess ? melanie : brady would n't look twice at you sober . and he 's done with the crazy , addictive relationship you keep dragging him into . theresa : i did n't drag him anywhere . melanie : you 're right . we both know brady had a problem before he met you . and then he did meet you and you enabled him all the way down to the gutter because that 's the only place he 'd have you , and now he 's done . theresa : but you think that he 's going to stay clean and sober because he deserves someone so much better like you ? melanie : no . he 's going to stay clean for himself ... because the truth is , theresa , if i was n't in the picture , he would still leave you the second he found himself . theresa : well , if you stick around , he 's going to have to start using again just to escape the reality of life with you . melanie : you 're a crazy bitch . theresa : oh , yeah ? do you want to do this ? daniel : hey . theresa . theresa : hey , you know what ? i 'm gon na go , 'cause this is clearly all my fault . i 'm out of here . daniel : okay , this is nuts . melanie : no kidding . she came out -- daniel : no , i am talking about you . brady : [ sighs ] [ dart gun clicks ] [ glass clatters ] brady : [ grunts ] eve : what are you ... ? honey . honey , what -- what -- what are you doing here ?

[ chuckles ] all right . mr. shin is satisfied . now i can reverse the sale , and there will be no conflict - of - interest charges . kate : [ scoffs ] why did n't i think of that ? have none of you noticed what stefano just orchestrated ? gordon : you nearly ruined us . kate : no , that would be stefano . i was the one who made you ungodly amounts of money by streamlining the less disciplined part of the company . or have you already forgotten that ? gordon : this guard will accompany you out , mrs. roberts . kate : really ? gordon : given your collusion with victor kiriakis , we ca n't conduct any further business in your presence . kate : you all are going to get exactly what you deserve ... all of you . well played . chad : [ clears throat ] gentlemen , i 'd like to be the first to welcome my father back to the head of the company . i look forward to sharing the reigns . stefano : sons ...

[ elevator dings ] jennifer : kayla , hi . kayla : hey , hi . i 'm just finishing up the last bit of hope 's paperwork . jennifer : okay , so the surgery is happening today ? kayla : yeah . i am just hoping that once we remove that microchip , she will no longer believe that she is princess gina . jennifer : that 's what we all want , especially doug . and he would be here right now , but julie does n't want him here . and i agree with her . kayla : is this too stressful ? jennifer : no , kayla . it 's too painful . he has already suffered enough abuse from gina . ciara : is she always like this ? shawn : you have no idea . hope as gina : oh , do not speak as if i 'm not present . i am right here . shawn : well , you know what ? we 're gon na be very lucky if you 're out of that body soon . hope as gina : what are you doing ? get away from me . oh , god . you need a mint . ciara : yeah . definitely creepy . you 're a microchip . hope as gina : this is torture . i will not be double - teamed by -- oh , god . how inept , children . get out . ciara : you can insult us all you want , princess . but there is no way in hell that we 're gon na give up until my mother is back . we 're gon na find dr . rolf and -- hope as gina : oh , please . even if you find dr . rolf , my wilhelm , you honestly believe that he 'd turn on me ? never . ciara : what 's the news ? shawn : well , it looks like our -- our little pain in the ass is wrong . rolf was apprehended . and it looks like he 's gon na turn on our little princess nightmare over here and he 's gon na reverse what he did to our mother . ciara : oh , that 's just fantastic . shawn : you got nothing to say , princess ? hope as gina : [ screams ] how dare you subject me to these -- these indignities ! [ sighs ] rolf : your highness , are you all right ? hope as gina : rolf . no . i am not `` all right . `` i command you to free me from these chains . spirit me away this instant ! please ? male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] rafe : oh , man . i 'm sorry . i wish i could go to the hospital today to support your mom . shawn : are you kidding ? i mean , everybody understands that you should be focused on finding david . it 's okay . rafe : yeah , which it would be a hell of a lot easier if i had one thing to go on . shawn : give this back to you . rafe : yeah . david 's favorite toy . did you find any prints on it ? shawn : just david 's and yours . i 'm sorry . rafe : yeah . right . orpheus : do n't you think it 's time you told that boy who his real father is ? ciara : so the judge threw out evan 's confession . ben : how is that even possible ? he admitted he killed jordan . ciara : only because i had an actual gun to his head . apparently , that is coercion , which makes his confession inadmissible . ben : so what , evan just gets to walk ? ciara : i mean , he did make bail . but the charges against him still stand , ben . ben : and what happens if he beats those charges ? am i stuck in here ? jennifer : ciara called me earlier . she should be here very soon . kayla : yeah . you know , she and shawn were here yesterday , trying to get through to their mom . i just -- i ca n't even tell you . i thought it was just -- it must be so hard on them to see their mom like that . jennifer : we really need to support those kids . and we really need to support hope once we get her back . i mean , how long is it even gon na take to remove that chip ? kayla : well , i do n't think it would be long . but you remember , i will not be doing the procedure . jennifer : i know that . rolf is doing it . kayla : right , he 's the one that did this to hope . jennifer : but , kayla , i do n't understand after everything that he has done , how can we even trust him ? rolf : princess , there are police standing guard right on the other side of that door . hope as gina : then we shall find another way out . rolf : oh , there is no other way . you simply must accept your fate . hope as gina : if you 're not here to rescue me , you impetuous buffoon , then why are you here ? rolf : i came to examine you . hope as gina : no . rolf : it 's preparation for the procedure to remove your microchip . hope as gina : no , you can not do that . i forbid it ! rolf : i 'm sorry . there was no other way . they wanted me to turn on stefano . hope as gina : so instead you turned on me ? rolf : you must understand , my loyalty to the phoenix is paramount . i could never betray him , not for you , not for anyone . so yes , your highness , i have agreed to end your reign . u diet . exercise . evan : do n't you think it kills me not to tell my son i 'm his father ? orpheus : does it ? evan : of course it does . for the past year , i 've done everything for david . i fed him . i bathed him . rocked him to sleep . anything that he needed , i was there , okay ? i loved him the way a father should love his son , did everything that i had to do . orpheus : except be honest with him . evan : david is at an age where he repeats everything , okay ? i could n't risk him telling anyone i said i was his father , especially rafe . orpheus : but rafe 's not in the picture anymore . so what 's stopping you ? ciara : i spoke to justin this morning , and he 's confident that the judge will still overturn your conviction . ben : how does he figure that ? ciara : well , because we have new evidence this time . and i mean , evan 's dna was at the crime scene . there was bad blood between him and jordan . they have to exonerate you this time , ben . they have to . ben : well , that 's great . really . but it 's still hard . ciara : the waiting . yeah , ben , i know -- ben : no , ciara ! what 's hard is knowing that that psycho murderer , who murdered my sister and took my nephew , is still out there while i 'm locked up in here . i ca n't even help with the damn search . ciara : rafe is on it , ben . he 's really determined . ben : i 'm sure he is . but the more time that goes by -- ciara : look , ben , he 's not gon na give up , okay ? he 's gon na find that little boy . eli : okay , shower 's all yours . come here . it 's gon na be okay . we 're gon na bring david home . rafe : i ca n't believe that `` princess gina `` had us fooled for so long . i should have figured it out . shawn : how ? you did n't have any experience with gina . rafe : yeah , i could have asked more questions , dug deeper . shawn : you started a file on my mom . i mean , you were documenting all of her strange behavior . rafe : yeah . but i just wanted to make sure that she was okay . shawn : and she 's going to be , thanks to you . i mean , if you had n't called me in hong kong and told me to come here , we might not have ever put the pieces together and we might not have ever figured out what rolf had done to my mom . rafe : yeah . kayla : believe me . i have my concerns about rolf . jennifer : so you do n't trust him ? kayla : i trust him to take out the microchip . otherwise , he 's gon na spend the rest of his life behind bars . jennifer : yeah , but that scares me . what if he tries to pull something in the middle of the surgery ? kayla : he wo n't because i 'm gon na be watching him every step of the way . jennifer : this is crazy that gina 's cold , cruel behavior comes down to this chip , that this little chip has caused so much trouble for so many people . hope as gina : step back . back off ! rolf : i -- hope as gina : do not even step near me . rolf : i simply wanted to listen to your heart . hope as gina : well , listen to this . lay hands on me again , and i shall tear them from your limbs ! rolf : all right . all right . but your protestations have impeded my exam . however , i have more than enough data to conclude that you are healthy enough to undergo the procedure . hope as gina : no , this is an outrage ! a crime of the highest order , rolf ! rolf : yes . yes , well , i will go and see if an operating room is ready . hope as gina : wait . wilhelm , i understand that you do n't wish to be disloyal to stefano . but i also know that you do not wish to destroy your own masterpiece . rolf : i do n't understand . hope as gina : me . me , rolf . i am your masterpiece , one that you worked tirelessly to create . do not let them force you to eliminate me . rolf : what are you suggesting ? hope as gina : outsmart them as only you can . go through the surgery , go through the motions of it all , but surreptitiously leave the chip right where it is . the fruits of your labor will live on . and i will still be princess gina von amberg . and no one -- no one will be any the wiser . rolf : hmm . orpheus : son , do you have any idea how hard it was for me to swallow my pride and reach out to you and your sister once you were grown only to have you reject me ? evan : this is n't about pride or fear of rejection . as i said , i did n't tell david who i was to protect him . orpheus : but david is safe now . and you 're still not telling him the truth . evan : you need to stop . orpheus : son , listen to me . the greatest feeling a father can have is the one i missed . when a man looks at his son and he tells the whole wide world , `` that 's my boy , `` and then he turns around . and the son looks at him and says , `` dad . `` now it may not mean much to you , but it means everything to me , even now . i want you to have that . evan : for david to call me `` dad `` ? orpheus : when a son looks at you and says that little word , it makes you want to be better . it makes you want to be worthy . i can still -- i can still see it in my mind 's eye , you were -- you were probably no bigger than that ... the way you looked at me , it was -- it was like your old man was some kind of superhero . evan : boy , was i wrong about that . lani : you know , when i was a cop , i dealt with the worst of the worst . i looked them right in the eye and i did n't even blink . eli : i know . and i saw it firsthand . lani : and some of the cases we worked on , bad things happen to good people . eli : all the time . lani : and it 's heartbreaking , but we -- we learn how to put our emotions aside and do the job , work the case . but , eli , this is different . when -- when that little boy was a baby , i helped rafe take care of him . and i know -- i know that my attachment to him was not healthy . eli : lani , you were grieving the loss of our child . lani : i know that . but i had to create distance between me and david because of that . i do n't know . i just -- this feels really personal . and i know that i will not be able to rest until that little boy is safe . eli : okay . why do n't i go get dressed ? we 'll go find him . shawn : well , if you 're not gon na sleep , you got to eat something . you got to keep your strength up for your son . rafe : waffles . shawn : there was n't really anything else in the kitchen except for seven boxes of waffles in the freezer . rafe : they 're david 's favorite . once i ran out , and , uh ... total meltdown . so now i -- i make sure i 'm stocked up , you know ? shawn : well , we better hurry up and find your kid so he can help you eat 'em , right ? rafe : damn right . yeah . not bad . shawn : it 's not my first time using a toaster . all right . i 'm gon na head to the hospital . rafe : hey , listen . i appreciate the support , man . really ; i know you 're going through a lot right now too . shawn : yeah . are you kidding me ? absolutely . anytime . rafe : yeah . i 'll be praying for your mom . well -- shawn : yeah . rafe : i hope the procedure goes well . shawn : thank you . thanks . and i hope you do know that the second she 's back , i 'm gon na be helping you find your son . that 's the first thing . rafe : yeah . shawn : take care , man . rafe : yeah . ciara : i will keep you posted on the search for david , okay ? i promise . ben : thank you . and thank you for coming . ciara : i 'm just so sorry that i had to come with bad news . ben : it 's just a setback . we 'll get past it . ciara : i know we will . now you must be going absolutely stir crazy in here . i mean , tell me what i can do for you . can i get you a book ? can i get you -- ben : no . nothing , nothing . look , look , i love that you 're always thinking about me , i do . but right now , you need to be with your mom . ciara : i just want her to be okay . ben : i 'll be praying for that , that this procedure is a success and you get your mother back . ciara : me too . god , i love you so much . ben : i love you so much . hope as gina : you do your part , and i shall do mine . wilhelm , i promise you , when i wake from the anesthesia , i shall pretend to be hope brady in all of her dreariness . rolf : that will be very challenging . hope as gina : nonsense . well , i managed to fool the entire population of salem for over a year . surely , i can dupe them again . i promise . rolf : oh , gina . while i appreciate your passion for self - preservation , what you are proposing simply is not possible . hope as gina : and why not ? rolf : because dr . kayla brady will be watching over me like a hawk . she will be in the operating room while i remove the chip . and once it 's extricated , she will expect me to hand it over to her as proof of my cooperation . hope as gina : come now . a genius like you can surely perform the sleight of hand necessary to fool these fools . rolf , please , i am begging you . you must do this for me . this one -- rafe : i 'm glad we got a lot of calls . that 's the whole reason that we set up the tip line so people with information about david could contact the police . well , i do n't care if it 's a hundred or a thousand or a million , i want to read them all . so please , email me the transcripts right now . orpheus : you 're right . you 're right , son . i was no superhero . and any vitriol you want to throw my way is well deserved . evan : we do n't have to talk about this anymore . orpheus : i was nobody 's idea of an ideal father by far . took me a long time to realize that , get the blinders off and see the terrible pain i caused my children . i 'm not gon na bore you with a lot of apologizes and the hundred regrets i feel about not being there for you and your sister , but i want you to know one thing . i want you to know how grateful i am that finally we 've reconnected after all these years . evan : thank you for saying that . and hey , i 'm no superhero myself . in the short amount of time i 've been a father , i 've made more mistakes than i can count . orpheus : well , there were extenuating circumstances . evan : okay , we do n't need to get into it . i just want to put all that behind me and focus on doing right by my kid . [ baby cooing ] orpheus : you 're realizing what it took me most of my life to learn that no matter how good or bad a man is , there 's nothing on this godforsaken earth that can compare to a father 's love for his son . ben : dad . [ elevator door dings ] ciara : shawn , hey . shawn : hey . ciara : hey , i 'm so sorry that i 'm late . shawn : no , it 's okay . i just got here myself . ciara : is mom in surgery yet ? shawn : no , they 're prepping her right now . kayla 's in there with her . hope as gina : i would think a hospital , even one as dreadful as this one , would prohibit strangers from barging into patients ' rooms . what if i had been in a state of undress or perhaps having a private conversation ? kayla : i assure you that jenn and i were neither peeping or eavesdropping . i 'm just prepping you for surgery . hope as gina : well , next time , ask permission before you enter . kayla : i have given you a sedative so we can get you to the or . i have an officer out there that could escort you to change and scrub in . have you gone over the procedure with your patient ? rolf : hmm . she fully understands what to expect . hope as gina : here i am , holding court with tweedledumb and tweedledumber . jennifer : we 're here to make sure that hope is done being the nightmare that you are . hope as gina : oh , jenny . please be a dear and go find another balcony to fall off . kayla : that 's enough , gina . hope as gina : i can not tell you how it pleases me to hear me called by name . jennifer : not for much longer . kayla : jenn 's right . this is goodbye . hope as gina : it does not matter what you do to me . i shall always be princess gina von amberg . just as your beloved steve shall always be the great stefano dimera . kayla : well , we 'll see what happens when you wake up . clyde : [ laughs ] man , i did n't think i 'd ever see you again . ben : yeah . it came right down to the wire . clyde : that 's what i heard . is it true your girl burst into the death chamber holding a gun on the guy who really killed jordan ? ben : yeah . she blasted right by all the guards and demanded they stop the execution . clyde : and you already had a needle in your arm ? ben : i flatlined , yeah . clyde : oh , my god . ben : ciara , she did it . she saved my life . clyde : man , i tell you , it 's already the stuff of legend . that kind of grit and determination ? you got to love that . ben : i do . i do . ciara 's an incredible woman . clyde : no , she 's a badass is what she is . oh , man ! i 'll be forever grateful . ben : ah , dad -- clyde : you must be over the moon . you 're gon na be reunited with her soon . when do you get out of here ? ben : i 'm not so sure that 's gon na happen any time soon , dad . [ baby sniffling , hiccups ] evan : i 've wanted to tell david i 'm his father from the moment i took him from rafe 's house . orpheus : then do it . evan : i almost did this morning . i 'm so tired of him calling me `` evan . `` orpheus : it 's not your real name . tell him . evan : just before sunrise , while i was holding david , listening to his breath rise and fall as he slept , i knew from the smile on his face , he felt safe in his father 's arms . and i was about to tell him the truth . orpheus : and then he woke up and asked for rafe ? evan : i did n't want to confuse him . orpheus : from this day forth , there will be no more confusion . you , christian , are that boy 's father . and you do n't have to worry anymore . nothing will ever come between you and that child again . when he wakes up , tell him who you are . evan : i will . right now , i need you to tell me something . what 's our next move ? eli : what 's all this ? rafe : the transcripts from all the calls we got on the tip line . lani : wow . that 's a lot , rafe . rafe : yeah . and i 'm gon na read them all . listen . i just want to say thanks . i really appreciate you guys helping me and go out there and find david . i know , i understand it 's was totally frustrating we came up empty - handed . but we tried , and that means a lot . so get out of here , all right ? go get some sleep . lani : we are not resting until we bring your little boy home . ciara : why does mom look so out of it ? shawn : is she okay ? kayla : yeah , she 's fine . we just sedated her . ciara : why ? kayla : because we have to give her general anesthesia for the surgery , and we did n't want her to physically resist -- i mean , gina to resist . ciara : all right . shawn : how long is she gon na be surgery for ? kayla : it should n't be very long . i 'll let you know when she 's out and you can see her , okay ? ciara : and you -- you are gon na be there with her , right ? during the surgery , you are gon na be with her ? kayla : every step of the way . okay ? ciara : okay . hope as gina : wait . i want a word with my children . shawn : mom . mom , yeah , we 're here . hope as gina : yes , you 're here . but your mother is not . and she 's never coming back . kayla : let 's go . i 'm bad . rafe : huh . just got an email from shawn . says he 's gon na have forensics go back over to my place and search evan 's room again just to make sure that he did n't miss anything . lani : that 's a good idea . rafe : yeah . how are those tips going ? lani : most of them are from well - meaning citizens who want to help , but they do n't actually have any helpful information . rafe : and the rest ? lani : total nut jobs . eli : i just talked to one of my contacts from the fbi , asked him to run down christian maddox 's known associates . rafe : the guys he used to run with ? eli : and his various cellmates from when he was locked up . rafe : oh . ciara : shawn , what time is it ? shawn : it 's five minutes past the last time you asked . ciara : sorry , i just -- i ca n't stand this waiting . you know , i 've been so focused on ben , and i have n't spent any time with mom . shawn : well , it 's not exactly a bad thing . she 's not exactly the most pleasant person to deal with . and she -- it 's weird she provokes me , and i push back . and even though i know that she 's not my mom , i just -- i still feel bad . ciara : you shouldn't . shawn , she 's -- shawn : you can say it , ciara . princess gina 's a royal bitch . ciara : yeah . ben : ciara had a gun to evan 's head . so the judge ruled that his confession was coerced . clyde : he confessed to jordan 's murder and made bail , and you 're still in here behind bars ? ben : yeah , and the worst part is , he wo n't tell anybody where davis is . clyde : [ scoffs ] man , my poor grandson . if i were n't in here , i 'd make that lowlife talk . you can ask nicely , but sometimes you got to resort to other means . ben : i hate to say it , but i agree . i wish i could take a run at him , dad . give me five minutes alone with that son of a bitch who let me take the fall for jordan 's murder and took her son . evan : so what 's the plan ? orpheus : i think we should get out of dodge , hit the road and keep moving . evan : i 've spent the past year pretending i 'm someone i 'm not . now you want me to become a fugitive ? orpheus : it 's not so bad . it 's a hell of a lot better than the alternative . evan : no . no way . i do n't want that kind of life for my son . orpheus : it 's not forever . it 's just right now , we do n't have a choice . evan : i disagree . i think my best move is to stay here and lie low . orpheus : and take your chances in court ? i 'm sorry , son , but that 's nuts . evan : the case against me is weak . all the evidence is circumstantial . i truly believe that i can beat the charges , clear my name , and then be able to leave salem and live a normal , happy life with my son . limu emu & doug ciara : well , the surgery 's over now , mama . and aunt kayla , she said that you did amazing . she said you were so brave . now please just come back to us . please just come back to us , mom . kayla : hope is stable and resting comfortably . she should be awake pretty soon . jennifer : okay . well , while she 's sleeping , i 'm gon na run home , i 'm gon na tell doug that the surgery is over . i mean , i would call him , but -- kayla : no , no , no , no . go , go . i will text you if anything changes , all right ? jennifer : thank you so much . okay . shawn : bye . jennifer : bye , honey . shawn : see you later . jennifer : all right , we 'll talk soon . kayla : okay . here is the microchip . shawn : i 'll take it down to the station . i 'll have the lab do a thorough analysis on it . did he -- did he do anything suspicious while he was in there ? kayla : i did n't see anything . rolf : with all due respect , dr . brady , what you saw was a master at work . shawn : my mom is not herself when she wakes up , you 're gon na have some serious problems . rolf : in my expert opinion , the procedure was an unqualified success . shawn : well , until we know for sure , you 're coming to the station with me where i can keep an eye on you . rolf : all right . shawn : bye . kayla : oh , my god . please , let hope be all right . clyde : i just ca n't believe that jordan 's killer was hiding under rafe 's roof the whole time . what , this frears guy did n't have a record ? ben : no , he did , and a substantial one from what i heard . clyde : what , that just got by detective hernandez ? ben : no , evan changed his name to hide his identity and his whole past . his real name is christian maddox . clyde : wait , what ? did you say christian maddox ? ben : yes . why ? dad , do you know the son of a bitch who killed my sister ? evan : i should wake david . if i let him nap any longer , he wo n't go to sleep tonight without a fight . orpheus : you really know that kid , do n't you ? evan : damn right i do . i know him better than anyone . he 's my son . [ phones ringing ] rafe : people know we 're looking for a child , right ? eli : of course . rafe : i just got a tip about a missing parakeet . [ phone rings ] lani : i think i might have something . someone just saw a man matching evan 's description . rafe : for real ? lani : yes . i think i know where david is . | ciara went to see ben in statesville . she told him that evan was released . the judge thought evan 's confession was coerced because she had him at gunpoint . ben was upset because he had to stay in prison while evan was free . she assured him that she would let him know when david was found . they were determined to work things out . she walked out and clyde showed up . they talked about evan . ben mentioned evan 's real name and he recognized it . ben asked him if he knew jordan 's baby 's father . evan told orpheus how david kept asking for rafe . orpheus told him to tell david the truth . he did n't want to risk david repeating the truth . orpheus talked to him about how hard it was to take care him and his sister . they continued talking about the type of father he was and how he did n't want that for david . rafe talked to shawn about david being missing . shawn assured him that they would find him . shawn told him that hope was having the surgery that day . rafe regretted not having more time to focus on hope . |

[ sighs ] philip is not the only one , okay ? belle is hurting right now . ca n't you see that ? she 's been going through a terrible time since her mother died . kate : and since shawn ditched her . hope : and she needs someone to comfort her , to help her , to support her ... kate : and to love her , if shawn has his way -- hope : john ca n't be there right now because he 's sick . he 's unable to . she needs the person she loves in her life , and that is shawn . kate , it 's inevitable they 're going to end up together . kate : oh , god . hope : you 're the one who actually came to me and told me that they still love each other , how belle said it was over between her and philip , and she was going to break it off with him as soon as he came home . kate : yeah , well , that may never happen now that he 's captured . you know , i do n't understand how you could do this , how you could destroy my son 's life because you want to push belle to be with your drunk of a son . or are you going to deny that , too ? because he was drinking and he was on drugs when he crashed his motorcycle through the stained - glass window at st. luke 's . how are you going to defend that , huh , hope ? hope : i 'm not excusing what shawn did , but the -- kate : but what ? but nothing . have n't you hurt my family enough ? now you 're trying to keep bo and billie from finding their daughter . hope : stop right there , kate . i have not been trying to stop bo and billie from finding their daughter , and you know what ? you know that . kate : ooh , well , maybe that 's true . maybe that 's because you 're so busy trying to convince everyone , including bo , that georgia is n't really alive .

if adoption can give our child a great life , the kind of life that you and i can not provide right now -- ej : i 'm sure that for many adopted children , they live very happy and fulfilling lives . but if you 're carrying my child , abigail , i 'm not leaving you to do this on your own , and i 'm not abandoning my child to fate . abigail : what about sami ? hmm ? if you 're gon na do this , if you 're going to raise your child as your own , sami will eventually find out , and then what ? ej , do you honestly think that sami would ever forgive you for this ?

jennifer : did you forget that you ca n't use it because we also have video of you trying to embezzle from the hospital ? we had an agreement , remember ? theresa : yeah , i thought so too , but you know what ? you and daniel have gone and trashed me to brady every chance you 've gotten . jennifer : oh , is that what this is about , theresa ? theresa : let me say it one more time . i did n't do anything . jennifer : okay . theresa : but karma ?

jennifer : [ sighs ] brady : i got you one anyway . john : no , thanks . brady : all right , i guess i 'm gon na have to make it a double . john : come on , brady . please do n't make a joke out of this . brady : dad , you do n't get to do this . you do n't get to show up and just all of a sudden act like you 're concerned . john : i am concerned . brady : well , here 's the good news , okay ? you 're gon na be thrilled because i am doing just fine . cheers . ej : i understand if i tell her the truth , i 'll have to live with the consequences , abigail , but i am not going to not be a part of my child 's life . abigail : what about ... johnny and sydney ? i mean , what do you -- ej : listen , you do n't even know that you 're pregnant . abigail : i know i do n't because you are the one that told me that i should n't take that test . ej : no , i told you to go and see a doctor . that 's what i told you . which you can do anytime , by the way . you could do that right now . okay , abigail , please . can we just stop speculating ?

if paige is like this , forget her . aw ! paige : we are supposed to be picking up trash , not making it . jj : yeah , i 'm not stupid . paige : i was kidding . jj : guess you 're not as funny as you think you are . paige : guess you do n't want any help cleaning it up . but you better not leave this mess for me . daniel : if theresa thinks she can get away with this -- this ? jennifer : okay , she 's not going to get away with it , because the hospital is already doing an investigation . daniel : yeah ? oh , yeah ? who 's in charge of it ? anne milbauer ? kayla ? who ? jennifer : oh , if kayla proves that theresa did this , she will ship her back to l.a . so fast -- daniel : i am gon na ship her back to l.a . jennifer : daniel -- daniel : no , no , theresa and i , we 're just gon na have a little chat . jennifer : no , i already talked to her , i did . daniel : yeah , i 'm sure she was very receptive to you . jennifer : i have it all under control . daniel : well , it would n't hurt if i was just , um -- went in there my own little way and -- jennifer : daniel , please . theresa thinks that everyone in this hospital fights my battles for me . all right , i appreciate you wanting to help me , but i have to do this myself . daniel : okay , well , if that 's what you want , i -- jennifer : it is . it is what i want . daniel : all right . brady : you 've been coming and going my entire life . you were a good dad . you were a very good dad when it was convenient for you . but now i figured something out that i wish i would have known when i was a kid . john : yeah , what 's that ? brady : that it 's better to have a dad who 's just m.i.a . than to have a dad that 's just hanging around trying to screw around with your life . john : correction , son . i was trying to save your life . brady : mmm ! well , you did n't and you have n't and you 're not gon na save my life , so i 'm gon na go . thanks so much for -- john : you 're not gon na drive anywhere ! you 're gon na stay right here until you sober up . brady : you do n't get to tell me what to do anymore ! hope : hey , hey , hey ! what 's going on here , guys ?

abigail : uh , a little queasy , um , tired , emotional . garcia : have you taken a home test ? abigail : no , i did n't because i did n't want any questions about the results , so ... garcia : well , the blood test is highly accurate , though there are certain medications that may cause a false positive or a negative . abigail : i 'm not taking anything . garcia : okay then . if you will sign your consent . abigail : okay . ej : abigail , you take your time , read that . just make sure you 're comfortable with it . garcia : always good advice . take your time . abigail : okay . ej : uh , so how long do you think it 'll be until we get the test results back ?

[ laughter ] oh , god ! hope : okay . [ laughs ] doug : sweetheart , i 'm so glad to have you back . ciara : all of our prayers have been answered . hope : i am happy too . could i please have a glass of water ? ciara : is that okay ? kayla : sure . there 's a pitcher over there . jack : so she seems alert . aware of her surroundings . kayla : yeah , so far , so good . jennifer : i know , but is there a chance that she 's faking ? hope : faking ? who 's faking ? kayla : oh , nothing . jennifer : do n't worry . you do n't need to worry . hope : no , actually , i am worried . no one 's even told me what i 'm doing here . what happened to me ? kayla : you do n't remember ? hope : no . was i in an accident ? kayla : not exactly , no . hope : if i was n't in an accident , then what did happen ? why does everyone keep asking me whether i 'm me ? is something wrong with me ? kayla : no , no . nothing is wrong with you . you are fine . you know , you might be a little confused 'cause you 're coming out of general anesthesia . hope : anesthesia ? i had surgery ? kayla : yes . hope : why ? kayla : you know what , we do n't need to go into it right now . but we will later , i promise you . right now , you just need to stay calm . hope : how can i stay calm when i have no memory of how i ended up here ? kayla : okay , let 's try this , okay ? think back . what 's the last thing you remember ? ben : so orpheus just showed up here one day to pay you a visit ? clyde : pretty much . ben : well , he did n't do it out of the goodness of his heart , dad . he must have wanted something from you . what was it ? orpheus : ca n't one old friend pay another old friend a visit ? clyde : we ai n't friends . i still ca n't believe you 're even alive . orpheus : surviving , but not thriving . clyde : what , are you sick ? orpheus : no . but given my circumstances , i 'm finding it difficult to access a whole lot of resources . clyde : [ laughs ] i see . you need some money . orpheus : you 're always ahead of me , clyde . did n't you one tell me that you have a nest egg hidden away somewhere ? clyde : what 's it to you ? orpheus : well , more to the point , what 's it to you ? i mean , you 're stuck in here , and it 's out there , doing nothing . i could put it to work . use it to build a new power base . clyde : why should i help you ? what 's it in for me ? orpheus : once i 'm on my feet , i 'll bust you out of here . you know i could pull it off . i 've done it before . come on , clyde . what have you got to lose ? clyde : nothing . as long as you keep your word . but you 're nuts if you think i 'm gon na hand over my life savings . orpheus : of course . i was thinking 50/50 . clyde : 80/20 . and if you cross me , i 'll make you pay . orpheus : i 'll never cross you , clyde . so it 's settled then . partners ? again ? now just point me to that stash . clyde : there 's a key to a safety deposit box hidden in my dead wife 's jewelry case . my step - daughter , jordan , has got it . she 's in california . orpheus : hmm . what a coincidence . so is my son . ben : his son . evan . eli : anything ? rafe : nothing . lani : no sign of david anywhere . evan : that 's because david was never here . orpheus : i know it 's risky taking david out into broad daylight , but that 's exactly what we 're gon na do . evan : i do n't understand . is this about david 's fever ? orpheus : in part . but it 's also because there 's an apb out , and it 's possible someone in this motel may have seen us . evan : and called the cops . orpheus : exactly . so for now , what 's best is that we split up and relocate . rafe : last time . where is david ? evan : i have no idea . rafe : you said that he was in good hands . evan : yeah , i said what you wanted to hear so you 'd get off my back . i guess it did n't work , since you 're still on my case , even though i 'm out on bail . rafe : all right , you 're coming with me . evan : where ? rafe : we 're going downtown to answer a few questions . evan : you have no right . rafe : i have every right . evan : fine . all right , take me in . it 's better than staying here where you 'll beat me within an inch of my life in front of two witnesses who will say they never saw a thing . rafe : we 're leaving now . evan : i said okay . but on the way , i 'm calling my lawyer . hope : the last thing that i remember ? i was here , inside the hospital chapel , praying . kayla : okay , that 's good . keep going . hope : i was praying for julie , asking god for a miracle . julie needed a new heart , and -- daddy ? is julie -- doug : julie 's just fine , sweetheart . she had the transplant . hope : oh ! doug : yes , yes , she did . hope : oh , thank god . doug : keep going , sweetheart . what else do you remember ? kayla : the chapel ? you were at the chapel ? hope : yeah . um ... rolf . he came up behind me . he said that he was the answer to my prayers . jennifer : which means ... hope : he told me he could help julie , extend her life until a heart became available . jack : did you believe him ? hope : i was hesitant . it was rolf . but he kept talking about his brilliance , repeatedly reminding me of how he 'd helped people i love . and i so badly wanted to help julie , daddy . doug : oh , honey . hope : so i went with him to his lab . daddy , you said that julie is okay , right ? doug : yes , she 's fine , believe me . hope : is it rolf that saved her ? kayla : you know what , why do n't we focus on what else happened that day ? so you got to the lab , and then what happened ? hope : he had a , um -- rolf had a vial with some kind of liquid in it . kayla : did he say what it was ? hope : [ sighs ] yeah , it was some kind of compound that he was working on . he was confident , yeah , that it would be really effective . jack : for what ? hope : for julie , to help her . you know , i told him that i would meet him outside of julie 's room . he was filling the syringe with his compound , and -- oh , my god . that 's it . that 's why i 'm here . he stabbed me with the syringe . kayla : all right -- hope : wait ! wait ! what did he do to me ? what did rolf do to me ? kayla : you know , jack , why do n't you and ciara take doug out for a coffee , okay ? doug : i do n't want to go anywhere . kayla : you know what , i think it 's just the pressure -- hope : jenn . why wo n't anybody tell me anything ? [ all talking at once ] ciara : let 's go . it 's okay . hope : tell me what 's happened . what did rolf do to me ? why wo n't anybody tell me ? ciara : mom , i love you . jennifer : i just want you to take a breath . i just , i do n't want you to feel overwhelmed . just take a breath . kayla : listen , i am so sorry . i should n't have had that crowd here . hope : no , i 'm fine . kayla : i 'm sorry . hope : it 's okay . kayla : i 'm sorry . hope : what did rolf do to me ? kayla : he turned you into princess gina . a sommelier searches for the perfect wine . hope : princess gina ? kayla : yes , it 's true . rolf did the same thing he did years ago . he implanted a microchip in your head , and gina completely took over . hope : i ca n't believe it . jennifer : look at me . hope , look at me . but she 's gone . gina is gone . they removed the microchip . it 's gone . hope : that 's why i had the surgery . kayla : yes . jennifer : yeah . kayla : and it went very well . your vitals are strong . your memory is already coming back . and it 's clear that you 're gon na be your old self again very soon . jennifer : yes . and we are here for you . whatever you need , we are all here for you . hope : how long ago -- how long ago did this happen ? kayla : gina showed up in october . hope : and now it 's -- kayla : march . hope : five months . kayla : we meant the previous october . hope : you 're telling me i 've been gone for a year and a half ? [ sighs ] ben : so you 're the reason jordan and evan met . clyde : technically , yeah . but evan was just a courier . he was n't supposed to knock her up . ben : so is that why jordan did n't tell evan that she was pregnant ? did she figure out that she was orpheus ' kid and that you sent him her way . clyde : i have no damn idea . i have n't heard from orpheus since . i assume he 's trying to screw me over again . hell , evan probably ran off with my money . ben : well , he also ran off with my nephew . rafe : sit down . recognize this ? evan : of course i do . that 's david 's favorite toy . rafe : you still claim that when you told me you had someone watching david , that you just said that to get me off of your back ? see this ? it was found in the horton town square . lani : the guy who dropped it was carrying a bag of groceries . eli : and a hoodie to hide his face . rafe : witnesses say he bumped into them . the train dropped to the ground , so they called after him , but he kept on going . evan : so ? rafe : so who is he ? who 's this guy hustling through the square , carrying david 's favorite toy and bag full of groceries not wanting to be seen ? evan : i give up . rafe : i will tell you who he is . he 's the guy you have looking after david . who is he ? evan : i do n't have to answer your questions ! eli : yes , you do . evan : i 'm sorry , are you cops ? right . just a couple of goons on rafe 's squad , forcing me to do what he wants . rafe : you came here voluntarily . evan : yeah , because i thought there was a better chance of me not having my face bashed in . in any case , i 've already left a message for my attorney . rafe : yeah ? well , i 've left a message for the da and for the judge to have your bail revoked . evan : this is harassment . you two are witnesses . eli : i did n't see anything . you ? lani : nothing . evan : yeah . like i said , goons . hear no evil , see no evil . lani : oh , i see plenty of evil . evan : and i see the three of you and the salem pd on the losing end of a major lawsuit . i 've already told me attorney i 've been intimidated , threatened , followed . if this gets out , oh , the media 's gon na have a field day . so if you do n't want this department to look even worse than it already does , you better let me go ... now . [ singing indistinctly ] [ cell phone rings ] rafe : i got ta take this . watch him . [ cell phone ringing ] da giddens . yeah , thank you for getting back to me so quickly . i really hope you can help me out with this . yeah , like i told you before , this maddox guy , he 's not only a murderer , but he 's a kidnapper too . oh . no , no , i understand . thank you for -- thanks for trying . lani : hey , what happened ? rafe : damn it . da would n't revoke evan 's bail . this whole thing is all my damn fault . lani : rafe , why would you say that ? rafe : because i 'm the one - i 'm the one that got the judge to let him go in the first place . i just -- i thought if -- thought if evan was out , that he would -- he would lead us right to david . lani : he still might . rafe : yeah . yeah , he might . you know , i actually believed him . i believed evan when he told me that he actually cared about his son , and clearly he does n't give a damn about the boy . he does n't give a damn about who he 's with or where he 's at . lani : hey , rafe . hey , look , we are gon na find david , okay ? rafe : yeah . yeah , the bottom line , though , is evan made bail , and i 'm not gon na change that . evan 's right , you know ? dragging him down here is just gon na make things worse . i 've got to let him go . evan : right . yeah . bye . i just spoke with my lawyer , and he 's fully prepared to sue you and salem pd for harassment unless -- rafe : you 're free to go . evan : i assume you 'll have me followed again , but i lost you guys the first time , and i 'll do it again . eli : do n't be so sure , evan . ciara : ben , i 'm so glad that you called . ben : how 's your mom ? ciara : good news . i mean -- i mean , great news , actually . ben , she seems to be herself again . yeah , aunt kayla and jennifer are in with her right now , and they 're helping her figure everything out . ben : what a relief . i 'm happy for you . any updates on david ? ciara : no . ben , i 've just been totally preoccupied here at the hospital . i was actually just about to check in with rafe . ben : well , i 'm glad i caught you before you did , because believe it or not , i think i got some information that could help . doug : when you mentioned coffee -- a cup of coffee , i imagined that we were going downstairs to the hospital cafeteria . jack : yes , well , kayla did say that hope needs a little space . doug : yes . i hated to see her like that , so upset , so agitated because she could n't remember what happened to her . jack : yeah . i know how it feels not being able to access your memories . doug : yeah . well , jack , you had a terrible accident , near - death . hope was attacked by a madman who took over her brain . circumstances are entirely different . jack : but still , i mean , in terms of trying to recover your memories , i think the basic principle holds true . you ca n't force it . doug : yeah . yeah , well , must be so frustrating . jack : oh , yes . god , yes . i mean , you just want to snap your fingers and just -- and make it happen . but it does n't work like that . you 've got to be patient . i 'm sure that if we just give hope a little bit of time , something is gon na start coming back to her . doug : that 's what i 'm praying for . jack : just so you know , it 's a lot harder on the family than it is on the person trying to remember . doug : it 's hard on all of us . i know hope is grown . jack : uh - huh . doug : but she 's always gon na be my little girl , and i would trade places with her in a heartbeat if i thought that i could spare her the pain of what she 's going through now . [ machinery beeping ] hope : i ca n't believe how much time i 've lost . jennifer : hope , i get it . i was in a coma for a year . hope : what ? did rolf do that to you too ? kayla : you know , we do n't really need to discuss it right now . you just need to rest . hope : no , kayla , i do n't need rest . i need answers . what happened , cuz ? why were you in a coma ? kayla : you know , maybe go ahead and tell her , because she 's gon na remember or somebody 's gon na tell her . hope : tell me . jennifer : the day that jack and i got married , i fell off a balcony at the bistro . hope : oh , my god . oh , my god , cuz . oh , my god . thank god you 're okay . oh , my god . thank god you survived . what happened ? what -- how ? jennifer : i was pushed . hope : pushed ? who pushed you off a balcony ? [ machinery beeping ] it was me . was n't it ? [ sobbing ] jennifer : no . hope : how could i do -- [ sobbing ] oh , my god . ( beep ) jack : we have to remember , gina is gone , hope is back . doug : i still worry . jack : of course you do . but just -- hope has been through this before . she 's been challenged by so many things in her life , and somehow she has always risen to the occasion . doug : i do n't know , jack . this time , when she remembers and realizes the damage that she did while she was under the spell of rolf , how cruel she was to people who love her , i have no idea how she 'll even begin to handle it . hope : how could i do something so horrible ? i pushed you , my best friend , my cousin , off a balcony . i cost you a year of your life . jennifer : no . hope : i 'm sorry . jennifer : i need you to hear me right now . you did not push me . it was gina . kayla : rolf brainwashed you . hope : and no one knew ? jennifer : not for a very long time . hope : when did you figure it out ? jennifer : we 're not gon na go into this right now . i 'm not gon na overwhelm you . in a nutshell , i was figuring out what rolf was up to , and i was going to expose him . and gina pushed me because she did not want that to happen . hope : i could have killed you . i could have killed you , jennifer . jennifer : no one blames you . no one holds you responsible for my fall or anything else that gina did . hope : what ? what do you -- what other terrible things did i do ? [ phones ringing ] rafe : what ? ciara : rafe , it 's me . is everything okay ? are you okay ? rafe : yeah , sorry . hey , how 's your mom ? ciara : well , we 're not totally out of the woods yet , but she seems to be herself . and things definitely seem to be moving in the right direction , so . rafe : that 's terrific . that 's amazing . yeah , listen , sorry , i 'd put you on with shawn but he 's down at the other end of the station . we 're holding rolf . ciara : i will give him a call as soon as we 're off . rafe : okay . great . listen , i 'm sorry for -- for not being there during the surgery . i 've just been focused on finding david . ciara : do n't apologize , okay ? so anyway , what 's the latest ? rafe : you know , we had a lead , and then we went and checked it out and it did n't pan out , so . ciara : well , there 's actually another reason why i 'm calling you . i might have something for you . rafe : i 'm all ears . ciara : i just talked to ben , who wanted me to pass along some information . he thinks he knows who evan 's accomplice is . he wanted me to make sure that you knew right away , so -- evan 's accomplice is orpheus . rafe : orpheus ? orpheus is dead . ciara : not according to clyde weston . he told ben that he 's very , very much alive . and that 's not all . get this , rafe : clyde told ben that orpheus is evan 's father . rafe : what ? orpheus is evan 's father ? are you sure ? ciara : ben is . he is 100 % sure , and as soon as he can use the prison phones again , he 's gon na call you and he 's gon na tell you everything , okay ? | lani told rafe that she knew where david was . she said somebody saw him . lani , rafe and eli left to find david . evan noticed that david had a fever . evan and orpheus did n't know what to do . rafe , lani and eli came in the hotel . evan was by himself . they wanted to know where david was . evan thought about orpheus taking david and telling him that they should split up . rafe demanded to know where david was . evan said david was never there . they went to the police station . clyde told ben that he knew who christian was . ben asked if he sent christian to kill jordan . clyde said he did n't . clyde said he knew christian 's father . ben remembered that orpheus helped clyde break out of prison . ben told clyde that orpheus was a killer . clyde told him that he tried to burn marlena and kayla alive in a coffin so he was no one to judge . clyde questioned whether or not jordan was killed because of him . clyde flashed back to talking to orpheus when he came to see him in prison . |

you 'll really do that for me ? brandon : sure , i 'll keep your checkbook on track . sami : well , in that case , we should just get a joint checking account . brandon : are you kidding ? like i 'd really like to get your hands on my paycheck every week . marlena : all right , all right , all right , all right . tony : oh , can i help you with that ? like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . sami : i have lost my appetite . brandon : samantha , i was kidding . sami : no , you were n't . brandon : why are you so upset ? sami : i am not a bimbo , brandon . brandon : i never said you were . sami : you were thinking it . brandon : no , i was n't . sami : no , i am very good at managing my money , okay ? i watch those financial shows on tv all the time . brandon : great . i 'm impressed . sami : i bought treasury bills and cds , and i have an i.r.a . and even a very small stock portfolio , which i am doing very well with even in the down market . brandon : that 's more than i can say . sami : so who 's the bimbo now ? brandon : samantha , hey , you are one of the smartest people that i know . i have nothing but respect for you . sami : but you do n't trust me with your money . brandon : it 's too soon , that 's all . sami : what is that supposed to mean ? brandon : well , putting our money together is like -- well , it 's more of a commitment than i can make right now . sharing a checkbook is like taking one step closer to the altar , saying `` i dos , `` and i already told you , i 'm just -- i 'm not there yet . sami : so what are we doing sharing dresser drawers and a medicine cabinet if not moving towards marriage ? brandon : samantha , it 's , uh , it 's a process , a time of discovery . [ knock on door ] sami : oh , will probably forgot something . brandon : this is to be continued . brandon : mom , hey . fay : hey , honey . just wanted c congratulate you two . brandon told me he moved in with you , sami , and i just thought why wait for an invitation ? so here i am . marlena : thank you . your , um , your timing is perfect . i 'm -- i 'm not sure why you 're here . tony : oh , uh , shall i take your bag ? marlena : oh , uh , sure , thank you . um ... i do n't know what i 've done . i always put my keys right in my little zippered pocket , and ca n't seem to ... tony : try your coat pocket . marlena : no , i do n't ever put them there . i would n't do that . hmm . marlena : oh . how did you know that ? tony : oh , i am an old key in the pocket man myself . marlena : huh . yeah , um , if you 're looking for the twins , they 're not here . tony : oh , i know that . i spoke to rex . they 're celebrating their first st. patrick 's day at the brady pub . i understand you were there , too . marlena : yes , i was for a while . tony : ah , i wish i was there to celebrate with all of you . marlena : if you knew the twins were at the pub , why did you come here ? tony : well , to spend some time with you . marlena : why ? tony : because of the children . shall we go inside ? marlena : oh , all right . sure . um ... sure . come on in . tony : so , uh , where would you like this ? marlena : oh , right there is , uh , just fine . tony : take your coat ? marlena : oh . thank you . um ... uh , what seems to be the problem with the twins ? tony : oh , rex , for one thing . he keeps asking me questions -- fatherly advice , and ... so many matters of the heart , uh , life 's philosophy . i have n't got a clue . marlena : most parents do n't . tony : oh , that 's nice . i 'm not alone . marlena : no , no , not by a long shot . will you sit down ? tony : ah . thank you . oh , you know , it must be interesting raising children from the time they were born , so you all grow together . marlena : well , it 's a challenge . always -- especially with rex and cassie because they were so ... secluded during their childhood . tony : yes . no children deserve to be raised like that . marlena : no , they do n't , but we can make up for it now . now , they 're adults , but they 're still emotionally dependent . i hope they do n't get expose to anything that 's , i do n't know , a bad influence for them . tony : but they 're doing amazingly well . marlena : yes , they are . they are , but , you know , they -- they 've been on this high - speed learning curve ever since they arrived in salem . i just -- i hope they 're not learning too much too fast . tony : is there something i should know ? marlena : well , cassie was dancing with a fellow at the , uh , at the pub , and there was sort of a wild look in her eyes . tony : well , i hope you got her away from him . marlena : no , i did n't . tony : well , come on , you did n't try to stop her ? abe : hey , you know , sweetheart , i think we have time before the class starts . lexie : oh ! then maybe we should go back to the brady 's st. patrick 's day celebration . you look like you could use a good stiff drink . abe : ha ha . yeah . you just enjoy yourself at my expense . yeah , go right ahead . lexie : honey , i 'm teasing . you are the best coach any mother - to - be could ever , ever have . abe : mmm ! you know , this little boy ... lexie : mm - hmm . abe : he is our second chance . lexie : yes , he is , and i want everything to be perfect for him -- especially the nursery . we have to redesign it . abe : well , i guess my weekends are gon na be busy . lexie : we also have to choose a name . abe : oh , well , first things first . first we paint . lexie : honey , he has to have a name , okay ? he ca n't just be baby carver . abe : it 'll happen . you know , we have to make sure that the name is right for him , and maybe that wo n't happen until after we hold him in our arms for the first time . lexie : you mean after he 's born ? no , no , no . i ca n't wait that long . it would drive me crazy ! abe : okay , okay , okay , okay . let 's start making a list tonight , huh ? i want everything to be perfect for you , too . lexie : mm . it already is . abe : that wo n't change . i promise you . lexie : mm . sami : brandon , ask your mother in . brandon : yeah . come on in , mother . fay : all right . well , i just brought you a little something . a housewarming gift . sami : oh , why , thank you . that is so sweet . brandon : we were just about to have dinner . why do n't you join us ?

[ teakettle whistling ] sami : so , fay , what kind of tea do you like -- herbal or regular ? fay : oh , whatever you 're having is fine . sami : um , earl grey ? fay : sure . where are your cups ? sami : oh , i 'll get them . fay : no , no . i 'll get them . i like to help . sami : uh , they 're just on the counter there . fay : oh . great . sami : okay -- sorry . fay : excuse me . sami : ooh ! fay : aah ! sami : oh , my god ! fay : do n't worry about it . sami : i 'm so sorry ! fay : no harm done . sami : okay , here . here . fay : sami , sami , it 's fine . it 's just a couple spots . really , it 's fine . it 's fine . sami : okay . oh ... fay : there you go . see ? sami : okay . um ... how 's work going for you ? fay : oh , well , you know , some days are better than others . how about you ? how 's work going at the hospital ? sami : oh , um , good . fay : so ... sami : here you go . fay : thanks so much . sami : ahem . fay : so , um , are you and brandon comfy here ? i mean , uh , do you find it has enough room ? sami : yeah , yeah . well , it 's -- it 's cozy . it 's not as big as nicole 's new place . the kiriakis mansion is pretty elegant . fay : yeah , it is . i do n't really spend very much time there , though . nicky 's been so busy these days . sami : yeah , well , she has time to stop by here . fay : well , why would n't she ? she is brandon 's sister . sami : yeah , i know . it 's sometimes hard to believe brandon has such a good heart . fay : are you implying that nicky does n't ? sami : well ... i 've seen the way that she talks to you sometimes , fay . i - i mean , she can be ... pretty heartless , frankly . she treats everybody like that . i mean , i could tell you stories that would make your toes curl . fay : do n't you dare . sami : i just meant that -- fay : nicky is my daughter , sami , and i 'm not going to sit here while you badmouth her . do you understand ? abe : ha ha ha . yeah . oh , that was true ? lexie : mm - hmm . abe : oh , that 's amazing . brandon : you 're here late . no problem , i hope ? abe : no , not at all . lexie : if you must know , we 're here for lamaze class . brandon : right . how 's coaching going ? abe : it 's fine , it 's fine . you know what ? we should probably stake out a spot in the classroom . lexie : okay . i need to go to the ladies ' room first . i 'll meet you back here , okay ? abe : okay . abe : you know , uh , do n't let me keep you from your work . brandon : oh , you 're not . so , how is lexie doing really ? you 're not giving her a hard time , are you ? abe : you know what ? i am not going to dignify that with a response . but i will say that lexie and i are very happy , very confident in our marriage , in our relationship . and i hope , in time , that you 'll come to respect that . brandon : that 's a tough one , considering you 've never been there for lexie in the past . and she 's kind of vulnerable right now . abe : this was never about lexie , and we both know that . brandon : come again ? abe : you never wanted her for yourself because you cared about her . it was all about getting back at me . brandon : do you really think that i would use lexie that way ? abe : you know , i believe that your resentment of me would make you do anything . now , i 'm sorry that my relationship with your mother traumatized you as a child , but that was years ago , and now surely you understand things now that you did n't then . so when are you going to stop living in the past ? brandon : my concern for lexie has nothing to do with the past . it 's all about the present . brandon : and the future . marlena : tony , what would you have me do -- drag her out of the pub and , what -- give her a time - out ? she 's an adult . tony : well , physically , perhaps , but not emotionally . marlena : look , we have to support her in a very delicate way here . i do n't want to alienate her by coming on too strong . we already have a very precarious mother / daughter relationship . tony : at least you can draw on your professional experience . you 've raised other children . i 'm a complete novice . marlena : well , we 're both in uncharted territory here with the twins . they 've got a very unique background and talents and life experience . tony : yeah , well , that 's why we need to work closely together -- for the children 's sake . i ca n't tell you how much it means to me to have this kind of conversation with you . i do n't want to take any more of your time . i know i 've -- it could be difficult if your husband happened to walk in right now . marlena : oh , well , he probably wo n't do that . he had to leave the party . he had a business appointment . tony : oh , i see . you do n't know where he is ? marlena : no , i do n't . tony : maybe i should just rush back to the house and change the locks on my windows . marlena : am i supposed to find that funny ? tony : ha ha ! yes ! it 's -- oh , okay . it 's my humor . i must apologize , but please do n't hold it against me . marlena : well , i 'll try not to . tony : we should have more discussions like this . marlena : anytime . ton o oh , you know , if -- if it were n't for you , i 'd probably be racing over to the brady pub right now , trying to rescue my fair daughter . marlena : please resist the impulse . tony : yes . okay . marlena : ha ha . tony : um , i was wondering . uh ... nah . marlena : what ? tony : well , i was just going to have dinner . i thought maybe you 'd like to join me -- i mean , that 's if you have n't eaten yet . marlena : no , i have n't eaten . tony : oh . well , it was just a thought . marlena : oh . all righty , then . i 'll -- i 'll get my coat . tony : oh , good . please , allow me . marlena : thank you . tony : and i know the perfect place , where we can talk . it 's nice and quiet . marlena : oh , good . i can only stay for a little while . tony : ah , good . and do n't forget , your keys are in your pocket . ah ... 's vote says otherwise . reminder , do n't get too aysoouea the noise and you came to see ? fay : what right do you have to judge my daughter ? sami : no , please do n't go . fay : tell brandon i 'll call him later . sami : wait , wait . ca n't you just wait a second ? fay , look ... you 're right , okay ? i 'm sorry about what i said . i had no right to talk about nicole that way . she 's your daughter , for god 's sakes . i , um , i really admire the way that you stand up for your family . you 're just like brandon . he has such a strong moral fiber . obviously , he got it from you . look , please do n't feel like you have to edit the way that you talk around me . we can chat woman to woman , mother to mother . obviously , you went to such an effort to make such a beautiful cake -- but i can see by the way you 're looking at me that you do n't approve of brandon and i living together without a formal commitment . fay : if you think i 'd rather he 'd marry you , sami , you 're wrong . i think that 'd be even a worse mistake . sami : oh , so you do n't think brandon should be with me at all ? you think he should dump me . is that it ? abe : you comfortable ? lexie : honey , any more comfortable , i 'll fall asleep . abe : ha ha ha ha ha . woman : hi , lexie . lexie : hi , gwen , how 's it going ? gwen : okay . can i put my stuff next to you ? lexie : yeah . abe : yeah , let me give you a hand here , okay ? gwen : oh , thank you . woman : good evening , everyone . sorry i 'm late . we had a birth . lexie : oh ! sidney and leslie , right ? woman : yes , right .

shawn - d : that i love you . that i would n't do what you were thinking . by the way , uh ... pam likes girls , apparently . not that there 's anything wrong with that . belle : your favorite `` seinfeld `` episode . shawn - d : i just -- i do n't understand why you did n't say who you were and ask to speak with me . belle : i was upset . all i could do was hang up . and maybe if we had been communicating better , i would n't have jumped to the wrong conclusion . shawn - d : you 're right . you 're -- you 're -- you 're right . we have n't been connecting like we used to . belle : not my fault , by the way . tony : oh , gregory . gregory : always a pleasure , count dimera . may i take your coat ?

tony : yes . creature of habit . marlena : but not a man of simple tastes . tony : maybe we should stick to mineral water . after all , we are here to discuss our children . marlena : that would be wise . man : sorry to interrupt , count , but it 's been a long time . tony : ah , yes , yes . so it has . man : buy you and the lady a drink ? tony : oh , no , no , thank you . maybe some other time . man : sure . i get the picture . enjoy . marlena : picture ? tony : hmm , i 'm sorry about that . it 's just an old business acquaintance . marlena : really ?

sami : he does . we are very much in love . i care more about brandon than you 'll ever know , and i worry about him . i 'm sure you do , too . fay : well , mothers worry about their children . there 's nothing unusual about that . sami : come on , you have to admit that brandon has serious anger management issues . fay : brandon did n't tell me that you have a degree in psychology , sami . sami : all i meant was that he holds everything inside . he -- he does n't open up to anyone . fay : he 's a very private person . sami : and it 's bad for him . he -- he does n't let the rage out . he does n't vent to someone that he loves and trusts . he lets it eat him up inside -- like the hatred that he has for abe . do you understand what that 's about ? i mean , he wo n't let it go . and it 's not like abe is a jerk to him . abe is a wonderful man , in fact . fay : let it go , sami . sami : why , so that it can just get worse no . those two need to make peace , okay ? maybe you could help me understand better . i mean , i know that you and abe had an affair ages ago , but why does that freak brandon out now ? fay : how dare you bring that up to me . do n't you have any tact at all ? sami : wait a second . just calm down . i just meant that -- fay : you know , i should have left the first time . this was a big mistake . woman : [ exhales ] okay , well done . why do n't we take a break ?

[ scene_break ] daniel : chloe , i did n't say you were impossible to live with . chloe : you do n't send somebody to the shrink because they 're a barrel of laughs , daniel . daniel : what i 'm upset about now is you did n't tell me you were n't going to the therapist and that you can be more honest with philip than you are with me . chloe : well , maybe it 's because he does n't tell me what to do , and he just accepts me for who i am . daniel : well , if you think that , then we really do have big problems , now , do n't we ? [ scene_break ] anna : oh . victor : so why are you here ? anna : thank you . well , i came to talk to philip . i 'd like to establish a charity in tony 's name . victor : horse hockey . anna : why are you so suspicious ? victor : because you 're a dimera . anna : well , i 'm -- only by marriage . i 'm not like them . victor : yes , well , that 's all fine and peachy , but i 'm really quite busy . why do n't you stop back , um , never ? how 's that work for you ? anna : oh , victor , please ...

[ door closes ] [ scene_break ] carly : you know , you say you do n't care what happens to you . vivian : i do n't . carly : i just want you to be sure , because if anything happens to either melanie or me , life as you know it is over . i mean , you 're like lawrence . you like the secrets and the lies and the plots and conspiracies . you like the darkness , premature burials , and poisoned hair combs . you do n't like the light or truth or honesty . but you know what ? it 's all over , because everybody knows what you 've done . and now you have this big old spotlight on you . so if you try anything at all with either melanie or me , well , we all know what happens to dracula when he goes out into the sun .

[ scene_break ] sami : oh , my god . you 're here . you 're , um -- you 're here , and you 're not actually in the office . you 're taking a break ? rafe : well , it 's not every day that your little sister gets engaged to , uh ...

[ scene_break ] rafe : what are you thinking about ? sami : something that 's probably going to make you mad . rafe : oh , i ca n't wait . sami : i was thinking about ej and how different he is now and how he just focuses on sydney . he does n't even care who took her , it seems like ... which is pretty different for him , you know , being a dimera . it 's practically like their motto is revenge . but for him , he , um -- he 's not thinking about that right now . he 's just focused on his daughter . maybe that 's the difference . rafe : well , that 's great . it really supports the theory that he 's the real father , and i 'm just the fbi guy . sami : that 's not what i meant . i just meant , you know , ej 's different , that 's all . rafe : mm . well , no , it makes sense that you can see that , being that he 's living with you now . sami : and you would 've seen it too if you had bothered to just -- rafe : really ? sami : okay , let 's just not spoil this for them , okay ? hey . congratulations . brady : hey . thanks , sweetie . thank you . ah . sami : i 'm so , so happy for you . brady : thank you . sami : thank you . sparkling cider . brady : mm . sami : okay , yeah , enough about you . let 's look at the ring . arianna : yeah ! brady : show her the ring . sami : it 's beautiful . arianna : thanks . [ scene_break ] chloe : so he heard me tell philip that i was n't really going to the shrink . nicole : and he blew up , right ? chloe : no , he got quiet and worried . and now he thinks that we should go to the shrink together . nicole : well , maybe that 's a good idea . chloe : no , it 's not a good idea , because he does n't really want to go . it 's just a way to make sure that i go . nicole : it sounds like you do n't trust him . chloe : you know what really makes me mad ? nicole : i think you 're gon na tell me . chloe : that bitch , carly manning , did n't even tell him that he has a daughter , but i 'm the one who gets in trouble because i do n't want to go spill my guts to some complete stranger ? nicole : what the hell does carly have to do with this ? chloe : she 's this respected doctor , and i 'm an unemployed opera singer . she 's the mother of his child , and i 'm the nutcase who ca n't have children . nicole : whoa , let 's not get carried away here . chloe : she even got daniel to convince melanie to go to her trial . and then melanie testified , and now she 's free , thanks to daniel . she 's just using him the same way that she used bo ... and i do n't want to end up like hope ... alone . [ scene_break ] vivian : carly , what is this ? you seem to have an endless supply of men ready to leap to your defense at any moment . what is that ? daniel : you all right ? carly : i 'm fine . can you make it shut up ? daniel : well , i hope to try . go away , now . vivian : this is a public place . i can stay here as long as i damn well please . daniel : you tried to harm my daughter ... so this public - place crap means nothing to me . so if you try to harass carly or you even come near my daughter , i will put you in a psych ward where you belong , spending your golden years weaving baskets . vivian : well , lawrence did want the father of the bastard dead too . so maybe i 'll have to put that on my to - do list . daniel : put me right at the top , because i would love nothing better than legal justification in taking you out . [ scene_break ] nicole : you are forgetting something really important . daniel is crazy about you . chloe : not anymore . now he 's worried about me , 'cause i 'm a problem . nicole : well , then stop acting like one . look , i - i do n't care if you go to therapy or not . i do n't even care if you lie about it . but it 's not good that daniel found out . chloe : you think i do n't know that ? nicole : it 's just ... it kind of confirms that there 's something wrong . chloe : that 's what daniel said too . nicole : so ... now you 're gon na have to do what every woman has to do to keep a relationship alive . you have to fool him . [ scene_break ] vivian : um , i think we 've reached an impasse . this meeting is no longer productive . daniel : finally , something we agree on . vivian : carly , just remember what i said and ... have a nice day . daniel : well , you certainly did n't need that . carly : i was n't surprised . i just hope that ... daniel : hope what ? carly : well , that it draws all of her attention , that she leaves melanie alone . daniel : oh , she will . now that everybody knows what vivian 's up to , she wo n't be able to go near melanie . carly : you -- you were talking to her just now , i think you actually scared her . that 's not easy to do . daniel : yeah , well , i just told her the truth . carly : well , just -- there 's something really fierce about you that i 'd never seen before . melanie 's lucky to have a father like you . daniel : yeah , well , uh , let me know if vivian bothers you again . i meant what i said . carly : i wo n't . daniel : what ? carly : daniel , look , i 've screwed your life up enough , okay ? take care of melanie . take care of chloe . but me -- i 'm not your problem , okay ? [ scene_break ] ej : oh , i will completely admit that i 'm committed to samantha . lexie : right . ej : lexie , she 's been through this the same way that i have , and i want to give her my full support . lexie : oh , my goodness . ej , `` committed , `` `` full support . `` you do n't talk like this unless you 're trying to cover something up . sami has yet again gotten under your skin . ej : we have been through a lot together , lexie . that is it ! lexie : [ sighs ] okay . okay , ej . all right . if you do n't want to be honest with me , should n't you at least be honest with yourself ? [ scene_break ] sami : so did you two set a date or what ? brady : well , actually , we -- arianna : yeah . brady : yeah . we were gon na try to coordinate with you guys , actually . sami : oh , you mean , um , like , so we can be there -- rafe : what i think she 's trying to say is it 's been kind of hectic lately , obviously , with getting sydney back , and , uh , my job has been demanding , to say the least . sami : and i 'm looking for a job . so that 's been crazy . rafe : really ? i thought you wanted to stay with the kids at home . sami : of course i would want that , but , um , that 's not really realistic . i have to get a job . so , uh , you know , i 've been working on that . and , actually , i - i found something that 's sort of interesting . arianna : really ? what ? sami : it 's a clerical position . um , and i 'm , you know , pretty good at that . i have the right skill sets , and i do pretty well in interviews , you know , when they do n't know me . and , actually , in this instance , i have someone who might write me a great job recommendation . arianna : oh . sami : [ taps utensil ] it 's an opening at the local fbi office . and i happen to know someone there with a lot of clout . you might know him . his name is rafe hernandez .

[ scene_break ] jim : you have got to be kidding . anna : no , i 'm not . i am begging you . jim : you are begging me to commit political suicide . you 're asking me to grant a pardon to a woman who bought a baby , switched it for another , and , when she got found out , kidnapped the baby and ran . anna : i told you everything she did was out of love . jim : well , i do n't think that stefano and ej are gon na see it that way . you must understand what happens to a political career in this state if you cross the dimera family . god 's sake , i 'll wind up on a reality show with rod blagoje - whatever . listen , i have a great idea . i 'll make you secretary of something or other , or i 'll take you to paris on a junket . but i 'm not gon na grant a pardon to that fruitcake . anna : [ crying ] but you have to . jim : no , i do n't . it 's very sweet of you to want to help your little , demented friend , but it 's not your problem . anna : but it is . jim , if you do n't pardon her , i am in big , big trouble . [ crying ] jim : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] nicole : no matter how you feel , chloe , you have to convince daniel that you 're ready to do anything to make this relationship work , that -- that you 're -- you 're strong and capable and that you 're his number - one ally . chloe : and never let him forget that carly kept his own daughter from him for over 20 years . nicole : by george ... [ chuckles ] she 's got it . [ scene_break ] daniel : no , you are not my problem . but you are melanie 's mother , and that makes you part of my life . carly : oh , well , it always works out well when i 'm a part of people 's lives . daniel : well , it 's gon na work out well for melanie . carly : i think she would disagree with you on that . the fact that she testified for me does n't change how she feels about me . daniel : i ca n't make her feel one way or the other about you , but i can make sure her options about you are open . so you should n't be in prison , and you should n't be dead ... for melanie 's sake . carly : that 's warm . daniel : well , if she wants you back in your life -- and that is a pretty big if -- you are going to be available to her . and i 'm sure as hell not gon na let vivian alamain interfere with that . carly : i wonder if vivian knows what she 's up against . [ scene_break ] rafe : so you want to work at the fbi . sami : yeah , i was thinking about applying to this job that they posted on their website . i mean , you know , the hours are pretty reasonable , the pay is pretty good , and they have great benefits . there 's an on -- on - site day - care facility . i mean , all of it is pretty good . it solves our problems . rafe : really ? sami : so what do you say ? will you write me a recommendation , or you want me to just write it for you , and you can just sign it ? [ scene_break ] ej : look , i think you 're forgetting something . samantha is in a relationship with another man , okay ? i 'm not going to come between her and rafe . lexie : ooh , and we know how strongly you feel about right and wrong . [ footsteps approaching ] theo : sydney woke up . she 's crying . lexie : no , no , no . let me . let me . i want to spend some time with her . ej : okay , i 'll stay here and look after theo . lexie : okay . ej : so how you doing , old man ? theo : good . ej : yeah ? did you have fun with johnny and allie ? theo : yeah . johnny told me your secret . [ scene_break ] chloe : thank you so much for talking to me . i ca n't believe i 'm telling you my troubles . you 're in prison , for god sakes . nicole : i do n't think that 's gon na be true for much longer . chloe : really ? are you getting a new trial ? nicole : no ... something much better than that . [ scene_break ] anna : [ crying ] jim : [ sighs ] please do n't cry . i hate it when women cry . anna : i know . that 's because you really care about people . jim : i care about you . anna : jim , you 've got to believe me . if you do n't pardon nicole , something really horrible will happen to me . jim : why ? what 's going on ? anna : oh , i think it 's best that you just do n't know . it 's just that ... if -- if you do pardon her ... i 'll do anything to show you how grateful i am . jim : oh , boy , am i in trouble . mm . this is crazy . this is just crazy . [ both laughing ] [ scene_break ] victor : all right , what 's this about carly you could n't tell me over the phone ? vivian : melanie testified in carly 's favor . she 's been exonerated . victor : oh , damn it . vivian : do n't worry about it . the law did n't take care of her , but i will . victor : hear , hear . [ scene_break ] carly : so this -- this concern for my welfare , is -- is it all about melanie , or are we friends again ? daniel : i think it 's more like we have a mutual enemy . carly : hmm . i wish i could convince you not to get involved with this . daniel : you ca n't . i 'm involved whether you like it or not . [ scene_break ] sami : what 's the problem ? rafe : well , you kind of sprang this on me . sami : well , it just occurred to me . i mean , i was gon na ask my dad to write the letter . and then when i saw you , obviously it hit me that you have more clout there than he does . rafe : yeah . no , it 's ... i do n't think it 's a good idea . sami : [ chuckles nervously ] [ scene_break ] ej : hey , theo , okay , so listen ... what was the secret that , uh , johnny told you ? can you tell me what it was ? theo : about sydney . ej : what was it about sydney ? theo : that she was never gone . she was safe with you all along .

[ exhales deeply ] oh . it 's you . nicole : yep , me . serena : we 've really got to stop running into each other like this . have a good one . nicole : you know , i still keep thinking how weird it was ... at daniel 's apartment . i walked in and surprised you , and you dropped all that stuff . serena : right . right , when you were wearing next to nothing . nicole : and you dropped those elephant statues ... two . i definitely saw two . so why did you lie and say there was only one ? abigail : jj 's kind of been on a roller coaster lately . you know , he was so upset about what happened with paige . daniel : right , yeah . abigail : he would n't talk about it , but you could just tell how upset he was , you know ? daniel : yeah , yeah . yeah . no , i saw -- saw him . abigail : and then my mom and i found out all of a sudden that he 's been -- he 's been seeing this girl that he knew from back when he was in boarding school in london . her name is roxanne . daniel : yeah , yeah , i - i saw her with him , and she did n't really seem , uh -- abigail : what ? not like his type ? daniel : yeah . abigail : i know . tell me about it , right ? i mean , he would n't even explain how it happened . did n't want to talk about it . the good news is that it ended , but the bad news ... [ sighs ] daniel : what ? abigail : just jj -- he totally crashed . and he would n't say why . he would n't look me in the eye . he did n't want to talk about anything . i was really worried about him . daniel : well , maybe -- maybe your mother found out what happened . abigail : but not that she told me . we 've been -- we 've been missing each other lately , though . but then i get this weird voice mail from jj a little while ago , and he sounds totally fine . i mean , he actually sounded happy . daniel : well , that 's , uh -- that 's great . and i 'm glad to hear that . yeah . abigail : yeah , right . no . yeah , it is good . [ sighs ] okay , i got to get back to work . thank you , daniel . daniel : all right , take care . abigail : bye . jennifer : honey , what do you mean paige did n't say she 'd meet you ? jj : well , i asked , and -- and she looked like she was okay with it . jennifer : all right , honey , but , listen , this is the thing . if she did n't want to see you again , she would have said no , and she did n't say that . so that means she 's willing to talk . jj : well , all i can do is hope , i guess . i would n't have a chance if it was n't for you . [ cell phone ringing ] jennifer : listen , honey , uh , one more thing before you go -- if daniel tries to call you , do n't pick up , okay ? marlena : so you think that serena might be leaving salem ? eric : it 's a possibility , yeah . marlena : yeah , well , i thought she was going to be doing research at the hospital for the next year or so . eric : things changed . anyway , but , uh , it 's nothing definite . marlena : mm - hmm . but you want to check with me to make sure that i would be okay if you go with her ? eric : will you ? marlena : [ sighs ] serena : i did n't lie . there was only one . nicole : i saw two . serena : okay , well , i do n't know what to say . [ chuckles ] i mean , we were both shocked . your brain was probably playing tricks on you . i mean , obviously , you forgot to put the rest of your clothes on . nicole : it was a simple dress . serena : yes , very simple . and it was paired with this rather massive overcoat . what did you end up cooking for daniel ? nicole : if you want to change the subject , you should be a little more subtle . we ca n't ignore the two elephants in the room , now , can we ? and i really doubt i could be wrong about something so basic , so ... serena : well , you are . we 're here today marlena : eric ... i do n't want you to worry about me when you decide whatever you decide . honey , i asked you to stay here when john was in the coma , and you did . eric : mom , i was glad to . marlena : but it was n't permanent . it was n't meant to be permanent , you know ? i mean , after all you 'd been through with nicole and with kristen ... well , i can see how leaving salem would have a certain appeal . so , if you have feelings for serena and you -- you want to go with her , i guess i 'll be okay . [ both laugh ] marlena : i 'll be fine . oh , i love you . nicole : ooh . you got a little snippy all of a sudden . just snip , snip . serena : [ clears throat ] why are we always challenging each other ? i mean , one statue , two statues , why argue over this ? i certainly do n't want to , and i 'm sure deep down , you do n't either . nicole : yeah , but i saw two -- serena : you were the one who apologized for all those misunderstandings with eric . nicole : okay , well -- serena : when you embarrassed yourself over and over . and you know what ? i 'm choosing not to go there with you on this , mainly 'cause i do n't have time 'cause i have a date to get to ... with eric . and i - i 'm sure that you have better things to do with yourself . or at least i hope so . bye . nicole : i saw two of them . [ sighs ] but she 's right . you know what ? i do have something better to do . jennifer : honey , we can not let daniel know -- oh -- what happened between you and eve , all right ? he means well . he does . and he just wants to help , but , gosh , he is so persistent . so just not a word , all right ? jj : and what if i run into him ? jennifer : just change the subject . just tell him the only thing you want to think about right now is paige . jj : which is true . jennifer : and for now at least , we need to do everything we can to make sure that abigail does n't know . jj : really ? jennifer : honey , think about it . three of us know about this , all right ? me , you , and eve . and everyone else that finds out about it from here -- the odds of it getting back to paige go up exponentially . jj : okay , i got it . i 'd hate to tell abs , anyway . i - i just -- jennifer : what ? jj : i really hope paige meets me ... and she at least listens . paige : sure , cole . let 's go . paul : sonny and i have met . how are you ? sonny : i 'm well . thank you . john : of course . what 's the matter with me ? will wrote the article . you just get in ? sonny : yeah , i came straight from the airport . john : yeah , i just saw will a little while ago . he did n't say anything about you coming home today . sonny : yeah , he does n't know yet . tori : why are you doing this ? why come here and torture me ? will : i thought i made myself clear . i am trying to save my marriage , and the best way for me to do that is to make sure that paul is not in salem when sonny comes home . tori : i told you , i did all i could . will : [ chuckles ] [ clears throat ] i 'm gon na be blunt , mrs. narita . i think that you tend to lie about whatever you feel , like telling your son that his father 's dead . tori : he is . will : or that he conveniently has no relatives . now , you told paul that you 've never been to salem before . so my question , mrs. narita , is how many other lies have you told him ? hey , how you doin ' ? john : so you decided to surprise him , huh ? that 'll make his day . marcos : oh , mr. black ? john : yeah , hold on . excuse me . what 's going on , kids ? what 's happening ? [ indistinct chatter ] sonny : i was n't sure you 'd still be in salem . paul : i would n't be if i , uh , did n't commit to a benefit . john 's heading the fund - raiser . he needs me to be a draw . sonny : right . well , it 's nice of you to help out . paul : well , i 'll be gone as , uh -- as soon as it 's over . i mean , if you and will are planning on working things out , i should n't be around . sonny : if will and i are going to work things out , it ca n't be just 'cause you 're not in salem . what happened between you and will happened because there 's something wrong in our marriage . paul : yeah , i 'm not sure , uh , will sees it that way . will : i - i did n't want to tell paul about you . i really did n't , but since you 're -- tori : no , will , will , please . please , do n't say anything . it would only hurt him . or maybe that 's what you want to do . will : i think it would hurt you too . my guess is that paul would be very angry if he found out that you 've kept a secret from him his entire life . now , i 'm sure that you have a very good reason for not wanting paul to know who his father is , just like i have a good reason for not wanting paul in salem when sonny comes back . we can both get what we want . we can help each other . tori : i told you , paul wo n't leave until after he does that benefit for the children . while he 's here , he has promised to stay away from you and sonny . then we 'll go . i promise . that 's the best i can do . daniel : [ chuckles ] yes , yes , parker . you can stay at grandma 's . she 'll bring you home at bedtime . and i will see you then , okay , big boy ? all right , love you . [ knock at door ] daniel : hello ? nicole : hello . we agreed that i would come over and help you get ready for your presentation tomorrow , remember ? daniel : oh , yeah , yeah . no , i had an emergency patient . nicole : oh . i hope it 's no one i know . [ chuckles ] daniel ? daniel : you 've heard of hipaa , right ? nicole : seriously ? you 're gon na play the privacy card ? daniel : i texted you that it was off . did n't you get it ? nicole : no , i did n't . daniel : well , most of the stores are closed now , so there 's -- you know , picking out a new tie is just not gon na -- nicole : oh , no , no . forget the new tie . i have something else we can do . you ready ? [ dance music playing ] serena : hey , you . eric : hey . you made it . serena : [ chuckles ] eric : hey , listen , i was just talking to a new friend . serena , this is navidad . navidad : hello , serena . serena : [ chuckles awkwardly ] jj : [ exhales deeply ] you came . paige : i could n't stay away . but that does n't mean anything . jj : it means the world to me . nicole : you know , it takes more than a new tie to make a man look good . daniel : hey , you know , i 'm a pretty snazzy dresser when i want to be . nicole : oh , you 're snazzy , huh ? daniel : that 's right . nicole : well , putting on a suit does n't necessarily let people see the real you ... all right , the man who could wow people with what 's under the surface . so , when you walk up to that podium ... and you give your speech ... and change people 's lives , you need to make a fantastic first impression . daniel : yeah . well , what does that mean ? what are you trying to say here ? nicole : you need a shave ! jennifer : all right , honey , i have a healthy snack for us , and i made some chamomile tea so we can just sit and -- you okay ? abigail : yeah , i was thinking . i saw daniel when i was leaving the hospital , and he asked how jj was doing . and i realized -- jennifer : what ? abigail : he 's my brother , and i do n't have a clue what 's going on in his life . jennifer : honey , he 's -- he 's fine . he 's -- he 's gon na be okay . abigail : mom , okay , but have you -- have you ever realized how everything that jj 's into is a secret ? you know , always -- it 's just -- it 's so strange . i mean , he breaks up with paige , and he 's so unhappy about it . he never tells me why . and then he does this whole thing with roxanne and keeps it all on the down- low like that and then breaks up with her , and he 's all relieved . jennifer : right . i mean , but we both knew that was not gon na work out . abigail : yes , i know , but yesterday he was just -- he was so down . and then today i get this voice mail from him , and he 's laughing and happy . he 's my brother , and we always share everything with each other , and i have no idea what 's going on in his life . do you ? do you have any idea what 's happening ? jj : i 'm so glad that you decided -- i - i - i mean , you 're here . so that at least means that you want to hear what i have to say ... right ? paige : i guess . jj : okay , well , that means more ... paige , i 'm so sorry i hurt you . and i will never , ever hurt you again . paige : is that what you told your other girlfriend ? jj : what ? paige : roxanne . did you tell her you 'd never hurt her while you were hurting me ? maybe i should ask her . i mean , no way do i want to see her again , but after everything that 's happened , it 's too weird . jj : paige -- paige : i mean , you kept telling me you were with this other girl , hooking up all the time , and then suddenly you want to be with me again ? i mean , maybe if i talk to her and found out what really happened between the two of you , maybe this would actually make sense . jj : no , i just -- i just do n't think that 's a very good idea . paige : well , maybe that 's not your call . jj : yeah . paige : seriously , jj , if i knew why you dumped her for me , maybe i 'd understand ... unless there 's , you know , some reason that you do n't want me to talk to her . eric : navidad bumped into me , and we got to talking . serena : right . um , it happens sometimes . eric : yeah . navidad : well , i 'll leave you two alone . nice meeting you , eric . brady , right ? eric : that 's right . navidad : i wo n't forget . nice meeting you too , serena . john : i think the most effective pitch in all of baseball is ... sonny : if that 's how will feels , he needs to rethink . he 's the one who said he knew we had a lot of work to do . he 's the one that brought up couples therapy . paul : well , that 's probably a good idea , assuming you cut the guy a little slack . sonny : i 'm sorry ? paul : sonny , you 're the first guy he 'd been involved with . sonny : till he met you . paul : look , and that 's not something that i 'm proud of . i did n't mean to hurt you , but i did . the only reason why i brought it up is because , well ... i mean , since you 're the only guy ... maybe that could be part of the reason why he made a mistake . sonny : are you making excuses for him ? paul : no , no , there 's no excuse for what happened . you know what ? it 's probably better if we do n't talk about what happened . in fact , it 's probably best if we -- if we do n't see each other again . you and will need to work things out ... get past this . sonny : thank you ... for offering to stay away . paul : yeah , well , you made it clear that 's what you want . and all i want is for you to be happy . [ sighs ] a lot 's happened the last few months . [ chuckles ] a lot 's changed . but not that . it 'll never change , sonny . all right , guys . john : hey . fernando : hey . paul : hey , who 's ready to learn how to throw a ball ? all : me ! paul : come here . get up here . all right , let me see . all right , molly , how do you hold a ball ? how do you grip it ? let me see . now , that is amazing . fernando : that 's how mr. black taught us . paul : mr. black taught you that ? that is amazing . i ca n't teach you guys anything more . way to go . [ laughs ] molly : he taught us the split finger . will : fine . if sonny comes back before the benefit , i 'll trust you on that . paul stays out of the way except for that one appearance . tori : you have my word . will : and if paul does not leave town after that fund - raiser , if he should decide to come between me and my husband ... i wo n't just tell paul who his real father is . i will write a cover story for sonix magazine , and i will tell the whole world . that 's a promise . clear ? tori : will , you have no idea who paul 's father really is . will : wrong . do n't tempt me . believe me . i understand why you do n't want anyone knowing that your son 's father was a man named dimera . nicole : now , do n't get me wrong , daniel . i love the way you look . but remember you told me there 's that cranky old lady on your board ? mrs. finn , i think you said her name was . daniel : yeah , yeah , yeah . what about her ? nicole : and she commented on your five o'clock shadow , and it really annoyed you . daniel : yeah , well , so what ? it does n't mean that i -- nicole : all right , all right , hold on . just let me finish , okay ? i just think ... and i will concede that you were not put on this earth to please cranky mrs. finn , but she is on the board , and obviously she will be at your presentation tomorrow , and , well ... would you really want her glaring at you the whole time ? well , would you ? daniel : n - no , i suppose not . no , but i - i -- nicole : okay , and so , more importantly , daniel , you are a great guy and an amazing doctor , and when you 're communicating with a group like you 'll be communicating with tomorrow , well ... people are gon na want to be able to read you . they 'll want to know what you 're thinking and feeling underneath that cool , calm exterior . people are gon na want to know how much you care ... and how passionate you are . and what they should see is a guy who 's open ... and ready to change . daniel : mm - mm . [ chuckles ] nicole : daniel , i swear . i swear , i am not -- i 'm not trying to push boundaries . this is about you and what you need . it ... it just so happens i happen to be very skilled with a straight - edge razor . so it wo n't take long at all .

[ chuckles awkwardly ] eric : you seem unsettled . serena : i do ? no . no , i 'm fine . eric : well , listen , it 's not about leaving salem , is it ? serena : no . i 'm ... i 'm sorry . i never should have mentioned that , 'cause it 's way too soon to know what 's gon na happen . how about you get me one of those vodka stingers ? eric : mm . your favorite . it 's coming right up . serena : how dare she ?
