[ sighs ] abigail : oh , god . ugh . he says that he -- he wants to have a future with me , but i do n't -- i really , i do n't understand how he thinks he 's gon na just suddenly , like , get over these feelings that he has for gabi . jennifer : i do n't think that it will be sudden , honey . but at least he 's willing to do something before it 's too late . abigail : just so ironic . i feel like i ca n't even really be mad at him for telling me that he loves another woman because i 'm the one that set the whole thing in motion . jennifer : hey , i would n't go that far , honey . abigail : no , mom , it 's true . i -- when i left shady hills , i had no intention of ever coming back here . i was completely content with everyone thinking i was dead -- including chad and gabi . jennifer : yeah , but be grateful that he 's being honest . abigail : i am . it just ... really hurts ... just knowing -- knowing that he loves her and to hear him just say it is -- is -- out of everything we 've been through i do n't think anything has ever hurt that much . [ crying ] jennifer : i know , honey . i know . i know . dario : if you and i work together , i bet we could break chad and abigail up . be there to pick up the broken pieces . gabi : no , you ca n't be serious . dario : why not ? chad would be free to be with you and abigail could cry on my shoulder for as long as it took for her to fall for me . gabi : dario , i doubt that would ever happen . dario : thanks a lot . gabi : no , not because of you , because she loves chad and i doubt she 'd consider even being with anybody else . dario : look , she might when she realize that i am better for her than dimera . and if she were to find him in a compromising situation -- say with you -- gabi : no , now i know you 're not being serious . come on , you can not win abigail 's heart by scheming . you 're too good of a guy to be going behind another guy 's back , dario . dario : what if that meant you ending up with chad ? ciara : i do n't want chad unless he chooses me and that will probably never happen . dario : probably . so , you still think it 's a possibility ? h ! heartburn ! maggie : ciara , try not to be so judgmental of claire . i mean , none of us are completely sure what another person is feeling . ciara : but i know what she 's capable of . i 've seen her in action . maggie : okay , by `` action `` do you mean you 've seen her be unfaithful to theo ? ciara : no . maggie : has she told you that she does n't love him ? ciara : no , but still -- maggie : honey ... i think you owe it to claire to give her the benefit of the doubt , despite your own doubts she is family after all . ciara : you probably do n't think i should give theo the letter , do you ? maggie : on the contrary . i think you 've been unfair to theo by not telling him how you feel . i mean , you wrote the letter for a reason . do n't you think he has a right to make up his own mind ? ciara : yes . maggie : well , i 'm sorry , sweetheart , but listen , um , i have to go . i would love to stay here and talk about this some more , but you need to think about what i said , okay ? ciara : i will . thank you . maggie : ohh . oh , you 're a wonderful , young woman , ciara . with such a good heart . ciara : thanks . maggie : and do n't ever be afraid ... of loving someone . love you .

[ chuckles ] i 'm gon na go fix my makeup and then we should probably get going . okay . chad : i guess -- i 'm guessing she told you . jennifer : she told me . she told me that you put ... your life with her and thomas ahead of everything else and ... she loves you so much . chad : i love her , too . and i 'll do everything in my power to make her happy . theo : no , look , the timing just was n't right . but it will be ... soon . claire : yeah . yeah , no , i agree . theo : you do ? claire : yes , i do . the timing was n't right . we wanted it to happen , but we rushed it , you know ? we should 've taken more time to plan . make sure that everything was perfect . theo : yeah . claire : our first time should be magical . like it is in the movies . you know , it definitely should n't happen here . maybe we should go away somewhere . maybe we should go to the green mountain lodge . theo : okay , um ... but i thought we were gon na take our time to plan it -- claire : i know , but we are planning . we are . and since the lodge books up fast , i think we should call as soon as possible and make a reservation . theo : okay , but is n't it out in the middle of nowhere ? claire : [ laughs ] which makes it super romantic . theo : claire , that -- that sounds -- sounds good and all , but -- claire : i know ! i know ! here 's what we 'll do , okay ? we 'll take a road trip and we will make the lodge , like , our final destination . yeah , so it 's kind of like a metaphor for where we 're taking our relationship .

'cause i need to talk to her right now . it 's life - or - death . tripp : why ? what 's going on ? claire : i need to borrow her red sweater . tripp : it 's a fashion emergency ? claire : no , no , this is very serious , tripp . i have a livestream that i 'm about to do and i ca n't wear something that my followers have seen already , and ciara 's not answering any of my texts right now , so ... tripp : no , i 'm not texting ciara , okay ? i 'm trying to find out how it went with haley 's hearing . she had her hearing today about her immigration case . claire : oh . okay , well , your uncle 's her lawyer , right ? so he 's the best . i 'm sure it was fine . tripp : well , even the best lawyers lose sometimes . claire : that 's true . i know . you always have to stay on top of your game . which is why i need to find something to wear for my livestream right now . [ laughs ] tripp : wow , way to change the subject , claire . claire : what do you mean ? tripp : just that you seem pretty reluctant to talk about haley . claire : well , it 's just that it 's none of my business , right ? tripp : right , right , except i 'd still like to find out who it was that ratted her out . eve : jack , your position on immigration is really polling well . we have to keep that front and center . check it out . jack : i am getting so much positive feedback from potential voters , here . eve : well , of course you are . your constituents can see a threat to the community . all right ? and they 're finally happy that somebody is taking a stance . jack : mm - hmm . eva : oh , great . jack : what ? what 's wrong ? eve : you 'll see , you 'll see . just ... jennifer : [ gasps ] there you are . jack . eve . i 'm so glad i ran into you . eve : well , i wish that we could say the same , but you can see that we are actually in a campaign meeting , so if you 'll excuse us , jennifer ... here you go , jack . jennifer : well , i would be happy to , but as a member of the free and fair press , i have a question . and i 'm sure you do n't want to deny the voters a chance to hear your candidate 's position . eve : of course not . jennifer : mr. deveraux , how does it feel to destroy the life of a young , innocent woman for political gain ? eve : [ sighs ] [ mischievous music ] jj : so how did it go ? what did the judge decide ? [ tense music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] haley : [ exhales ] the judge postponed making a decision . jj : so that 's good , right ? haley : i do n't know . i mean , i stated to the court that i 'm undocumented , and then justin made the case that i should be eligible for a change in status . justin : i pointed out that haley 's a nurse who 's been serving her community . she has no criminal record . anyone can see that her presence in this town is only a positive . haley : thank you so much for saying , really , but i ... you really think it matters whether or not my presence helps salem ? 'cause i don't . jj : you ca n't think that way . haley : jj , have you been paying attention to the political climate ? no judge is gon na rule in my favor . justin : haley , i understand you 're trying to be realistic , but i am actually feeling optimistic . i mean , for one thing , you were released on your own recognizance , and i also think the judge seemed sympathetic . i mean , in my opinion , the fact that he did n't make a ruling right away is only cause for hope . claire : huh . okay , so what are you implying ? you do n't think that i ... [ laughs nervously ] oh , my god ! tripp , why on earth would i tip off jack deveraux about haley chen ? tripp : someone had to tell him that haley was hiding out here at the loft . claire : yeah , yeah , and whoever it was , i know as much about it as you do . tripp : mm . claire : oh , god . you know , i need to go to the library before my livestream . i still have a comp lit midterm that i need to study for . [ sighs ] kayla : oh ! tripp : uh , kayla . hi . kayla : good timing . tripp : what can i do for you ? kayla : i just wanted to come by and see how you 're doing . tripp : oh , hanging in there . thanks , yeah . come on in . kayla : thanks . tripp : i 'm actually ... glad you stopped by . um , any word from my dad ? kayla : yeah , as a matter of fact , i spoke with him on the phone just the other day . tripp : how 's he doing ? kayla : okay , i think . he said he misses all of us . wanted to make sure that i let you know that . and , um , unfortunately , it looks like the cleanup with the isa is gon na take longer than he was hoping , and ... i do n't think he 's gon na be back home for a while . tripp : right . kayla : are you okay ? you seem distracted . tripp : ah , yeah . sorry . i -- i did hear you about dad . i just ... it 's too bad he 's not coming home soon . [ exhales ] kayla : there 's something else . i can tell . tripp : yeah , there is . i 'm worried that claire is lying to me . jennifer : mr. deveraux , how do you justify using haley chen as a political football ? eve : you know , jennifer , we really appreciate your question , but the candidate , at this time , has no comment . jack : actually , eve , i asked jennifer to meet me here . i invited her to interview me . eve : um , could i have a word with you , um , in private , please ? jack : mm . jennifer : sure . eve : why in the world would you grant jennifer an interview ? you know she supports abe 100 % . jack : eve , relax . relax . i can handle jennifer . eve : okay . jack : trust me , yeah ? eve : okay . i do . i do . jack : okay . eve : do n't touch my stuff . jennifer , stop it . i can get it myself . jennifer : ooh . jack : please . jennifer : thank you . i was n't even sure this interview was going to happen because your campaign manager seemed very , very upset . jack : eve was simply trying to protect me , and i assured her that would n't be necessary . just this thing : i want to make sure that , uh , this interview is fair and unbiased and i 'm not just setting myself up for a hatchet job so you can do anything you can to destroy any chance i have of being mayor . [ tense music ] ciara : ben , no ! you ca n't go . it 's not safe . ben : we ca n't just stay pinned down here . chloe : where are the other guards ? stefan : they should 've been here by now . ben : unless the gunmen took them out first , okay ? you three , stay back here . you watch for them . stefan : okay . [ gunshots ] ciara : no ! ben ! ben ! stefan : stay down ! ciara : no , no , no ! [ gunshots continue ] ( announcer ) do you push through migraine ? chloe : [ screams ] ciara : is there anyone else here ? stefan : there 's nobody here . chloe : holly and parker are with maggie , thank god ! stefan : shh , shh . shh . do n't say anything . shh . [ door clicks open ] oh , get -- ciara : oh , my god . stefan : how many ? how many ? how many ? ben : from what i could tell , it was a single shooter . security 's out there searching the grounds right now . [ panting ] stefan : did you get a look at him ? ben : he managed to escape . no , i didn't . but he left that . stefan : what is this ? a sun ? what is this ? chloe : oh , my god , that -- that is the symbol of el fideo 's cartel . that man came here to kill me . stefan : it 's okay . justin : i 'll be honest , um ... there are certainly some challenges , uh , presented by the current political climate , and of course , the fact that there 's been violence linked to a mexican drug cartel right here in salem does n't help our cause . jj : come on , the judge has to know that it has nothing to do with haley . justin : one would hope . but i have heard good things about this judge -- that he 's fair , that he is not easily swayed by whatever rhetoric is in the wind . so i believe that he will base his ruling on the facts , which are more than in our favor . haley : thank you so much for saying that . thank you -- thank you for everything . justin : of course . jj : yeah , uncle justin , i ... i ca n't thank you enough for stepping in . justin : i 'm glad i could help . so i 'll let you know as soon as i hear back from the court . stay strong . [ soft music ] haley : i should go too . these might be my last few hours in salem , and i want to enjoy them . jj : haley , wait . i know i 'm not your favorite person right now , but ... i really need to talk to you . tripp : i hate thinking that it was claire who turned haley in , but i do n't know who else it could have been . kayla : well , did claire ever say anything negative about haley ? tripp : no , that 's just it . she was all in favor of haley staying here at the loft . kayla : well , what , do you think it was just an act ? tripp : claire 's not the most secure person in the world , you know ? i guess when you 're always focused on getting a certain number of clicks , it kind of comes with the territory , and so when i told haley that she could stay here , it might be possible that claire felt threatened . kayla : look , i know that you do n't want to think badly of claire . tripp : exactly . she 's my girlfriend and i should trust her and i want to trust her , but ... kayla : but you and i both know that claire is the kind of person who can sometimes bend the truth to further her own agenda . jennifer : my job is to inform the electorate . and i realized that i do n't even know what you stand for , which means the public does n't know what you stand for . so that is why i asked you for this interview -- so you could give me a clear picture of your platform , and if it resonates with the voters , so be it . and for the record , i do n't do hatchet jobs because i do n't need to lie and betray people to get what i want . jack : let 's proceed , then . jennifer : mr. deveraux . jack : ms. horton . jennifer : why do you believe that you would make a good mayor of salem ? jack : simple . i 'm a clean slate . the people of this town are well aware of my memory issues , which i only see as a positive . coming back to this town has given me an offer of a fresh start . i want to extend that offer to the people of salem . jennifer : `` a fresh start `` ? jack : a fresh start , yes . what , do you have a problem with that answer ? jennifer : yes , i do . i have a real problem with that . jack : please enlighten me . jennifer : is n't saying that you 're a `` clean slate `` just a way of not taking responsibility for anything that you have ever done ? jack : i 've never denied my past . i 'm well aware i 've made mistakes , even if i ca n't remember them . jennifer : and if others can ? jack : you know , i 'm beginning to think that maybe someone else should be writing this article -- someone who 's not so personally involved . jennifer : trust me . i 'm a professional . i just want to know why you think the voters would choose you , jack -- a man who has no recollection of his record -- over abe carver , who has succeeded in countless ways to make salem a better place for its citizens . haley : you know , you did n't need to take me here . you could have just said what you needed at the police station . jj : well , i thought this might give us a little more privacy . and haley , all i wanted to say , again ... is that i am so sorry . you would n't be in this mess if i had n't opened my big mouth and confided your secret to my father . haley : yeah . yeah , that 's true . if you had n't told your father , everything would be different . but you know what , jj ? i 'm the one who made all the mistakes that got me into this situation in the first place . so how can i put all the blame on you ? and i see you . i know that you 've been trying really hard to make it up to me . you even got your uncle to represent me . if i have any chance at staying , it 's because of everything you 've done . kayla : listen , i get that you think that claire betrayed your trust by turning haley in . but i do n't want what you did to get lost in all this . tripp : what i did ? what are you talking about ? kayla : what you did to try to help haley . hiding her from the authorities until you could figure out how to keep her in this country . and -- and at great risk to you , actually . you did n't even think of the consequences and how it could jeopardize your own freedom . you just jumped right in . it was impulsive and it was reckless ... and it was exactly what your father would 've done . tripp : you think ? kayla : i know . and when he finds out about this , he 's gon na be so proud of you . but listen : getting back to claire . i ... i think the best advice i can give you is to be direct . if you 're honest with her , then maybe she 'll be honest with you . tripp : i agree , but ciara has already accused claire , and she denied it and ... if i just repeat the same thing , then it 'll just ... kayla : be like you 're ambushing her . tripp : uh - huh , and i do n't want her to feel like we 're ganging up on her , especially when i do n't know for sure that claire was even the one who did this . but -- but if she did ... haley might get deported because of me . kayla : no , it would n't be because of you . haley was at risk no matter where she was . her face was plastered all over the news . tripp : yeah , yeah , just because of my uncle jack . kayla : yeah . tripp : you know , he had the nerve to show up here at my door and pretended like he actually wanted to get to know me when all he wanted was to get haley busted so he could use the footage for his next campaign commercial . i mean , can you believe that ? kayla : actually , i can . tripp : no , you know , i -- i need to find out if claire was the one who did this . and i just realized how i can do that . claire : [ breathing rapidly ] oh , my god ! eve ! eve , hi . please , i need your help -- right now . fact is , every insurance company hopes you drive safely . ben : stefan 's finishing up with the cops right now . chloe : i talked to maggie . the kids are fine , thank god . thank you for doing everything you did to keep us safe . ben : yeah , that 's my job . hey . how are you doing ? ciara : not so good . oh , my god , if you had n't been there to pull me down ... ben : hey , do n't think about that right now . chloe : i 'm guessing the cartel must have thought you were me . my hair was that long when they kidnapped me . ciara : it was n't your fault , chloe . ben : yeah , do n't worry about that , okay ? either of you . stefan 's beefing up security around here . with the cops on the scene , nobody is coming back here tonight . okay ? hey . we 're safe here . ciara : can you just take me home ? ben : of course . haley : i considered myself a really strong person , just so proud of the life that i made here for myself . a good life . jj : yeah . you should be proud . haley : yeah , but now ... i 've never felt this alone . my own sister -- melinda 's not even returning my calls , as if -- as if i should be surprised . you know ? we were never that close anyway . in fact , i 've always been really scared of that -- getting close to anybody . i guess i was just really worried that if they did , they 'd find out my secret . jj : that must have been a hard way to live . haley : yeah . but just -- in some ways , it actually made me stronger ... helped me survive . [ chuckles ] now that i think of it , i mean , does it even matter if i have to go ? 'cause i do n't -- i do n't have anybody else here either . jj : you have me . claire : hi . eve : just take a deep breath , and i want you to tell me what 's going on , all right ? claire : [ inhales , exhales ] i think tripp is starting to suspect that i 'm the one who outed haley . eve : well , why would he think that ? i mean , you 're not the only one that lives in the loft . it could just as easily have been ciara . claire : well , i know . i thought of that already , so i accused her , but the problem with that is ciara just accused me right back , so eve , i ... i need you to cover for me , okay ? eve : [ sighs ] claire , i -- claire : please , please , please ! just -- if -- if tripp finds out what i did , he will not only break up with me , but he will hate me for the rest of his life . just try to understand where i 'm coming from . please help me out here . [ knocking on door ] tripp : eve ? it 's tripp . claire : oh my god ! what is he doing here ? eve : [ stammering ] i want you to get -- come on . claire : okay , okay . eve : get in here , keep quiet , and i 'll handle your boyfriend , all right ? there . [ knocking on door ] ah . what do you want ? tripp : i want to know who it was that told you and my uncle jack that i was hiding haley chen . jack : while mr . carver may have done good things for people in the past , his recent track record leaves nothing to be proud of . because of the incompetence in his office , an attempted murderer was just allowed to go back to the streets . jennifer : okay , you 're talking about xander cook ? jack : do you know another attempted murderer who just waltzed into city hall and deleted records of his own crime ? jennifer : you 're just gon na go to the negative ? that 's how you 're gon na -- jack : i 'm simply pointing out that my opponent also has flaws . jennifer : right , without talking about your strengths , which means you are criticizing the incumbent to cover the fact that you do n't have any fresh ideas of your own . jack : the media is allowed to its own opinion -- not that i asked for it , by the way . i was under the impression that this interview would be fair and unbiased . now , is it going to be that ? are you gon na print what i say or are you just gon na keep printing your own fake news ? jennifer : fake news ? jack : fake news . jennifer : that 's what spews out of your mouth every time you open it , is fake news . jack : `` spews `` ? is that what the opinion of `` the spectator `` is ? jennifer : no , that 's the opinion of jennifer horton , and you can quote me on that . jack : i am surprised that you would even allow me to be part of your byline . but then again , i am surprised that we were ever married in the first place . i do n't know . i ca n't remember , but who knows ? maybe -- just maybe -- i threw myself down that elevator shaft just to get away from you . [ quirky music ] i knew about the tremors . stefan : the police are still busy downstairs , so i thought you might feel more secure here in your room . chloe : that man came here to kill me , stefan . what if the kids had been here ? stefan : they weren't . chloe : well , what if they had been ? i ca n't live like this , doing nothing , sitting here while someone out there wants me dead . ben : here . ciara : thanks . ben : you 're welcome . do n't spill . it 's ginger ale . ciara : yeah . ben : it always helped me feel better when i was a kid . ciara : you know , i 'm pretty sure that 's for the stomach flu . ben : you kind of look like you might wan na hurl . ciara : i 'm fine . ben : you do n't have to do that . ciara : do what ? ben : you do n't have to pretend that everything 's okay . ciara , you just went through a very traumatic experience today and ... what you 're feeling right now , it 's nothing to be ashamed of . ciara : i just still ca n't believe it happened . one minute , we 're in stefan 's living room , and the next , we 're getting shot at ? ben : it 's because of me . ciara : what ? ben , no . no . chloe said it herself . you heard her . they were after her . ben : i meant you were there because of me . the only reason why you were even inside of that house was because you wanted to see me , which just confirms my feelings that if we were n't together , you 'd be a hell of a lot safer . [ stirring music ] haley : i should probably go back to the loft . thanks so much for your support . jj : of course . you do n't have to thank me . haley : jj ? are you okay ? jj : yeah . yeah , i 'm fine . really , haley , it 's okay . you 've got enough on your mind . haley : no , no , no , you 've done everything that you can to help me deal with my problems . and you know what ? the thing that would really help me right now is if you let me be the same kind of friend for you . [ tense music ] i know you 're still furious at your dad . you want to talk about it ? jj : um ... i know he does n't remember who he is ... but that 's not an excuse , you know ? i 'll never forgive him for what he did to you . haley : what are you gon na do ? jj : whatever it takes to stop him from becoming mayor . jack : well ... it seems that journalistic standards have diminished somewhat in the time i 've been away . i thought that you said you were a professional . jennifer : i am a professional , which is why i am going to kill this story . and just a little advice for you , off the record : the less you open your mouth , the better chance you have at fooling people into voting for you . and that 's the truth ! kayla : jennifer , is everything all right ? jack : oh , kayla , i 'm glad you 're here . your good friend jennifer just gave me an unsolicited cold shower . maybe you can help her cool down now . kayla : oh , i doubt that , 'cause i assume she 's as mad as i am at you for being a pompous ass and only caring about yourself . eve : look , tripp , i ca n't be specific , here . the person that alerted jack and me to haley 's location said that they would only tell us if they remained anonymous . but i can tell you this : it was a concerned citizen . tripp : who ? eve : tripp , i just told you , i ca n't tell you -- tripp : yeah , and last time i checked , there 's no such thing as campaign manager / concerned citizen confidentiality , so why do n't you just tell me who it was ? eve : okay , well , i can tell you this much : it was a neighbor of yours . okay ? tripp : a neighbor . eve : mm - hmm . tripp : you mean mrs . carney ? eve : [ sighs ] okay , apparently , she saw haley entering the building , and that 's when she tipped us off . tripp : that 's who claire thought it was . eve : oh . tripp : well , thank you for your honesty . [ objects clank ] what was that ? is there -- is there somebody else here ? limu emu & doug eve : that , um -- that 's jack . he was taking a shower before , and he must have dropped something . i 'll make sure he 's okay . jack , is everything all right in there ? oh , yeah , everything 's fine . he dropped the saving cream . and he said he would come out and see you , but he 's absolutely butt - naked and dripping wet . tripp : that 's -- that 's okay . i want nothing to do with him -- not after what the two of you did to haley . eve : [ hissing ] claire ! come out . claire : oh , my god . eve , thank you so much . you are -- you are an actual lifesaver . eve : [ exhales ] jennifer : unbelievable . you pretend to take an interest in tripp -- your nephew -- so you could get into the loft to find haley ? jack : nephew or no , he was harboring a fugitive . as a citizen and a candidate , i had the obligation -- jennifer : oh , no , please . save it ! save it for your rallies , jack , because if what you plan to do for salem is the same thing that you have done to your son and your nephew , i pray that abe wins . [ tense music ] jack : [ exhales heavily ] jj : any man who is hurting someone the way that my dad is hurting you is n't fit to be mayor . and besides , it 's not like there is n't another worthy candidate . i know abe carver . unlike my dad , he 's a good man . i 'm gon na do everything i can to help him win . justin : jj . haley . jj : hey , justin . you got my text . is there any news ? justin : um , yes , i , uh -- the judge has made a decision , and i 'm sorry . i have some bad news . so sorry . um , they plan to start deportation procedures immediately . haley : what ? jj : justin , you said this judge was fair -- that he would n't be swayed by the political climate . justin : and i had hoped that he would n't be . i mean , considering haley 's exemplary record , i -- i -- i thought he 'd be more lenient , but he 's sticking to the letter of the law . haley , i 'm afraid you have thirty days before you have to , uh , leave the country . stefan : chloe , you do n't have to live in fear , okay ? because what happened here tonight ... will never happen again . i 'm adding several more security units working around the clock . i 'm putting pressure on my people to find out who is responsible . i 'll do whatever it takes to end this , okay ? chloe : [ chuckles ] that would be a miracle . stefan : i promised you and your children that they would be safe here . and i have every intention of keeping that promise . ciara : ben , you think i 'd be safer without you ? the only reason that i 'm here is because of you . it 's because of you . because of ... because of your bravery that no one got hurt . ben : i was just doing my job . ciara : running into the middle of a gunfight seems pretty brave to me . [ sighs ] all right , you listen to me . you listen to me , ben weston , because i 'm only going to say this once . we just got back together , okay ? it 's gon na take a hell of a lot more than a hail of bullets to scare me away this time . ben : o -- okay . okay , yeah . look , you are -- you 're a lot tougher than you look . i ... ciara : ben ... ben : no , i told you , i got the message loud and clear . ciara : you 're bleeding . ben : it 's fine . it 's r -- honestly , it 's nothing . it 's probably just a cut from the glass . it shattered the window . ciara : shh . just be still , okay ? [ chuckles softly ] finally ... i , uh -- i get to reciprocate at least a little bit for the way you took care of me in the cabin . ben : you 're way more gentle than i was . ciara : [ chuckles ] i did n't feel a thing . [ gentle music ] i landed . [ gentle music ] ciara : ah -- um , what are you doing , ben ? ben : something that is ... against my better judgment . ciara : yeah . ben : oh , my god , you know i 'd love to stay . [ sighs ] i should really get back to the mansion . just to make sure that stefan has everything under control . as long as you 're okay . ciara : [ exhales ] trust me ... i am more than okay . was that okay to you ? ben : yeah , it 's ... it 's pretty okay . ciara : [ laughs ] stefan : i should go and let you get some rest . chloe : stefan ? stefan : yeah ? chloe : do you think that you could stay here with me ? just for a little while . stefan : of course . i 'll stay as long as you need . chloe : no , could you ... could you maybe hold me ? stefan : yeah . kayla : i know it 's probably not much comfort , but you really ca n't take what jack says personally . he does n't remember who he is . he is not in his right mind . jennifer : i do n't know , kayla . when eve first showed up with jack , i really believed that she was gon na lead him down a dark path , but you know what ? i do n't think that he need to be led anywhere . i think that he is making the choice to ignore the difference between right and wrong . kayla : well , he may have convinced himself of that . jennifer : kayla , whether he has his memories back or not , that is the man that i married . and i believed that he beat his demons and that he really changed , but i 'm starting to wonder if it was all an act because that man does n't seem to have a conscience at all . and i do n't know . i really do n't know if i or anybody else can save jack from himself . tripp : how did -- how did you get here so fast ? jack : hmm ? tripp : w -- you know , i do n't care . i just want you out of my section . jack : tripp , i 'm sorry -- tripp : no , no , i do n't want to hear it , okay ? haley might get deported because of you . do you get that ? you might have just destroyed someone 's life , and you 're -- what , you 're out ordering coffee ? i do n't understand how you can live with yourself . eve : you want some advice ? i think you should own what you did to haley . you thought she was a threat , right ? claire : yeah , because she was . eve : okay , well , then you did everything you could to get rid of her . i , for one -- i 'm gon na sleep well tonight . [ cell phone beeps ] claire : did you get a text ? eve : well , let 's just find out . [ laughs ] even better . news from the court . in thirty days , haley chen will be back in china where she belongs and all this will be over . haley : i was so -- i was so afraid that this was gon na happen , and now that it has ... my life here is over . i ... i 'm going back to china . alone . jj : you do n't have to do that . haley : what are you talking about , jj ? of course i do . the judge just ordered that i be deported . jj : no , there is a way you can stay in this country . marry me . in my old age . | jennifer wanted to interview jack . eve did n't want her to interview him . he told her that he wanted jennifer to interview him . when eve left , he told jennifer that he wanted the interview to be fair . ben tried to protect ciara , stefan and chloe from the shooting at the dimera mansion . tripp accused claire of selling out haley . claire denied doing it . when kayla showed up , tripp told her that he suspected that claire was lying . haley told jj that justin helped her during the trial . justin thought it might have been hard , but there was still hope . she thanked justin for his help . when justin left , jj wanted to talk to her . tripp told kayla why he suspected claire of selling out haley . jennifer told jack that she did n't have to lie to get what she wanted . she wanted to know why he believed that he would make a great mayor . he said he was a clean slate . he was a fresh start . she thought he was trying not to take responsibility for what he has done . he did n't think it was a good idea for her to interview him anymore . jj apologized to haley for telling jack her secret . she was willing to forgive him . kayla tried to make tripp feel better about helping haley . kayla also suggested that he be straight with claire . he said he had a way to figure out that she was the one who sold out haley . claire went to see eve and told her that she needed her help . |

[ laughs ] and you know what ? when rafe made the decision to give arianna 's heart to a dying girl , that must 've been pretty easy since she did n't matter to him , right ? but you know all this . you know all this , except -- except you do n't , because you were n't there ! dario : i should 've been . things would 've been a hell of a lot different if -- if i were . melanie : and that 's somebody else 's fault , right ? it 's not that you 're the mistake of the family , or that you 're so wrapped up in yourself and whatever 's going on in your life that you did n't care about arianna . she was nothing to you when she was alive , but dead , you 're the man , right ? you know what else ... dario ? those of us that were there had to deal with feeling helpless . but not you . you had to go steal a bunch of jewelry and then point your finger at everybody else , and to me , that makes you so much worse than the rest of us .

'cause nick can say whatever he wants . he 'll say whatever he wants to get what he wants , and he wants you . nick : oh , i know exactly who i 'm dealing with . i 'm dealing with somebody who 's threatened me multiple times and ca n't follow through . because he 's smart enough to know that he ca n't . ej : you keep telling yourself that . nick : i 'm sure sami 's educated you on what would happen to her if you lean on me . so maybe you should think about the fact that you 're dealing with someone who 's very likely smarter than you . ej : yeah , but not smart enough to know when you 've met your match . stefano : join me . kate : no , thank you . stefano : ah . kate : what did you wan na tell me ? stefano : [ clears throat ] well , you said we made a marriage . and during all the time that there was this marriage , did you ever for once think or even feel that i did not love you ? or was there ever a time that you thought maybe you did not love me ? kate : that 's ancient history . we 're done here . good - bye . hope : i guess i agreed to come because i 'm confused about you . aiden : why ? hope : because . the way you talked to me this morning after the kids had the fight , i really thought that we had declared a ceasefire . but then this afternoon , you clearly did not agree with the way i dealt with my friend 's son and now we 're in armed camps again . you see ? i do n't get it . aiden : you think i 'm too judgmental . hope : and you think i have two sets of rules . one for friends and family and one for the rest of the world . aiden : i do n't think you 're a bad person . hope : oh , thank you . aiden : we just do n't look at the world in the same way . we 're not going to be friends . hope : and even though our kids go to the same school and we live in the same town . aiden : yeah , we 're gon na run into each other . hope : whether we like it or not . aiden : yeah , so we have to find a way not to get others caught in our crossfire , like daniel and jennifer tonight . and that 's why i wanted to buy you the coffee , because , look , i do n't want this to get worse . i do n't . what i want is for it to be , i do n't know , tolerable ? hope : i think we agree on something . aiden : hmm . hope : [ chuckles ] what do you know ? aiden : well , good . jennifer : okay , wait . have you seen my shoes ? daniel : shoes , shoes , shoes . i do n't know . uh -- oh ! there 's one . by the fridge . jennifer : oh , my . daniel : one shoe . jennifer : how 'd it get up there ? daniel : and have you seen my wallet ? jennifer : oh , you had it when you were paying for the pizza . daniel : pizza . right here . that 's right . i remember . jennifer : okay . you know what , i will -- i 'm gon na clean up the bedroom . daniel : yeah , that 's a good idea . jennifer : do n't forget to take the pizza boxes . daniel : i wo n't , i wo n't . i ca n't believe i thought this was a good idea . what a disaster . jennifer : no , it really was n't a disaster . in fact , you know what ? i think that this night turned out to be really , really great . daniel : you do ? jennifer : yeah .

[ sighs ] maybe ... it 's about eric ? sarah : i just kept thinking that , like , what if we had to tell him that we lost another person that he loved ? maggie : yeah , but it did n't happen . it turned out okay . sarah : yeah . maggie : mm - hmm . sarah : thank god . [ sniffles ] as soon as marlena pulled through , i - i rushed down to the chapel to tell eric . i will never forget the look on his face when we said that his mom had come back to us , you know , his ... his smile . what ? maggie : you really have it bad for eric , do n't you ? ohh . sweetheart ... i know this is delicate , but maybe ... maybe it 's time . maybe you should finally just tell him how you feel . sarah : i did . and it was a disaster . tripp : i 'm not obsessed with haley , okay , but i do feel bad for the situation she 's in . claire : right . sorry . i , uh , did n't mean to snap at you like that . tripp : you know that haley and i are just friends , right ? i 'm just very concerned about her . claire : yeah , i know . so am i. i really do care about her , and it sucks that someone turned her in . tripp : yeah , and i know who did it . claire : really ? wait -- who ? tripp : mrs. carney . just like you said . claire : oh , wow . [ scoffs ] well ... at least the mystery 's solved . tripp : yeah , i know . i hate what happened , but it 's good to know who 's responsible . claire : yeah . you know , for -- for a little while there , kinda seemed like you thought it was me . tripp : well , only three people knew that haley was staying with us , so ... claire : yeah , and i 'm always the one doing these stupid things out of jealousy , so i get why you would suspect me . i do . but , tripp ... look , when we promised each other no more lies and no more secrets , i meant it . tripp : so did i . claire : then i hope you know that i would never , ever betray your trust like that . tripp : i do . um ... i 'm sorry that i ever doubted you . jj : i know -- i know that it sounds crazy , but marrying me would keep you in this country for sure . haley : what are you talking about , jj ? ice would be on us in a hot minute -- you know that ! jj : not -- not necessarily . haley : jj , we 've been all over the news . everybody knows our deal . we 're not engaged . we 're not even dating and right now , if anything , i 'm just the undocumented chinese woman who was staying at your place because my sister disowned me . you know , you could get arrested ... thrown into jail for fraud . jj : not if it 's a real marriage . which it could be , someday . so there you are with your depression hope : more than 100 bullet holes in the dimera mansion . el fideo 's crew are even more vicious now that he 's dead . ted : wow . how 's ciara ? hope : shaken . you know , just thank god that she got out of there unharmed . ted : we 'll find the person responsible . hope : damn straight , we will . so what else do you have for me ? ted : well ... leo starke submitted all his paperwork . the charges against will and sonny are officially dismissed . hope : good . finally . and ted , there wo n't be any more conflict of interest issues . got it ? ted : well , you have my guilt for torturing two people you care about . hope : just do what you set out to do -- fight for the good guy and put the bad ones away . ted : hope , i 'm trying . trying to turn my life around to be ... to be a better person , to make up for all my ... i wo n't call them mistakes , 'cause they were not mistakes . they were choices , and they were the wrong one . and it took meeting a woman like you to make me see it . hope : thank you . ted : well , it 's true . and i 'd very much like to keep working with you ... to prove to you that i 'm worthy . worthy to keep this job permanent , and with some luck , and your support , i believe i can succeed . hope : i believe we make our own luck . but you do have my support . ted : thank you . tripp : hey , did you ever find out if your mom had any legal advice for haley ? claire : yes . you know , she 's super busy with a case right now , so until she digs out , i am going to do everything i can to help . tripp : like what ? claire : well , for starters , a social media campaign . i have hundreds of thousands of followers , so i 'm gon na tell them all what a great person haley is , i 'm gon na get all of them on her side . i was thinking we could also do a fundraiser , like a mini concert type thing . i was thinking that i could write a song about what haley 's going through . tripp : wow , claire , that would be amazing . you -- you are the best girlfriend ever . claire : ah . wow , it 's amazing to hear you call me that . tripp : yeah , well , why would n't i ? that 's what you are . haley : a real marriage . [ scoffs ] y - you ca n't be serious . jj : i do n't mean right away , but ... we could get there . haley : jj , i -- i do n't want you marrying me out of guilt . jj : haley , it 's ... it 's more than that . you must know by now that i -- i ... have feelings for you . ( announcer ) do you push through migraine ? maggie : what happened with eric ? sarah : [ sighs ] well , um ... before marlena woke up , i found him in the hospital chapel ... praying . maggie : mm - hmm . sarah : he asked me to stay , and we started talking and opening up to each other about love and faith . and i just felt -- i felt so close to him , so ... i kissed him . maggie : ah . just like that , impulsively . sarah : well , do i do anything any other way ? maggie : oh ... okay ! then , having done that , how did he react ? sarah : we did n't get a chance to talk about it right away , because ... brady walked in . maggie : oh ... dear . sarah : so you can imagine how comfortable that was , given the whole eric and nicole thing . oh , and it gets better . because right after brady walked in , rex walks in . maggie : did brady tell rex about the kiss ? sarah : thought that he would , but he didn't . maggie : [ exhales ] sarah : and when eric and i finally got a chance to be alone and talk for a second , we decided that we would n't tell rex because ... eric does n't feel the same way about me as i do him . maggie : you asked him ? sarah : point blank . i told him that i had feelings for him -- which was obvious at that point . and ... he told me that i was a really great ... friend . maggie : oh . honey ... i 'm sorry . sarah : i feel so stupid . and not just because i made such an ass out of myself by kissing eric but because i thought that he wanted that . and of course it 's not what he wants . he 's still mourning nicole . and i knew that , but i just sped right past it like i always do . maggie : [ clears throat ] well , because of this and your scare with marlena ... i think you could use a little escape . [ both laugh ] how 'bout mom treating you to a spa day tomorrow ? massages , manicures ? yes , definitely manicures . [ both laughing ] the whole nine . sarah : that 's really sweet . but i 'm fine , i really am . i just , um ... i think the whole eric thing maybe was just a fixation , and i just have to accept that it 's only platonic between us . at least on his side . and i need to move on . focus on rex . maggie : we , uh , we 've discussed this ... [ laughs ] i mean , you should n't commit to a life with rex by default . sarah : i love him . maggie : do you ? ! sarah : and he loves me . i -- i have to learn how to trust him again . maggie : well , he has his work cut out for him , considering all that he 's done . sarah : i ca n't exactly blame rex for cheating on me when i 've just kissed his brother . oh , my god . [ sighs ] why do i always make such a mess of everything ? maggie : oh ... honey , life . [ chuckles ] eric : i really do n't remember the dream . it 's ... it 's kind of a blur . rex : well , look , um , sorry for asking , but could you help me tidy up a bit ? sarah 's coming over for dinner . [ chuckling ] eric : yeah , sure . i can , uh , go for a run , give you guys some privacy . rex : thank you . i really appreciate it . eric , you really are a great brother . i 'm sorry i ever doubted that . look , um ... i 'm gon na talk to you about this . what brady said , that warning that he gave me ... i admit that i let it ... get to me . not that i ever thought you would hurt me on purpose . it 's just you and sarah are ... you 're very close , and -- eric : rex , i -- rex : no , no , it 's okay , really -- i talked to sarah about it and i know -- i believe that there is nothing romantic going on between the two of you . and why would there be ? you 're our biggest fan . you 're rooting for us . and also talking to brady , he admitted that he was just lashing out because of what was going on with marlena and ... he 's trying to put the situation between you and him and nicole behind him . but it 's tough . eric : yeah , i get it . rex : nicole was the love of your life . and sarah is the love of mine . so again , i 'm sorry that i went there . i know you would never come between me and sarah . claire : so how would you like to take your girlfriend home for a date night ? tripp : look , i 'd love to , but -- claire : look , i know you 're really worried about haley but , you know , with everything she 's going through , she probably just wants to chill by herself upstairs . so how 'bout i make her some food , then we can be alone . tripp : what about ciara ? claire : she has a paper due , so she 'll be at the library till late . so how 'bout this -- i 'll go to the store and i 'll get everything i need to cook you a gourmet dinner . tripp : sounds great . [ beep beep ] claire : what is it ? tripp : the ... the judge made a decision about haley . she has to leave the country within 30 days . claire : oh , no . oh , poor thing . jj : i 've really missed you since you 've been gone . it was nice just ... having meals together , playing music and talking , and i - i actually felt like we were ... we were really starting to connect before everything hit the fan . haley : but it did . jj : i know . and i wish so badly that we could just pick up where we left off and go slow and get to know each other , but right now , the clock is ticking . we have to jump right in and get married and -- sarah : okay , okay , um ... even if i thought this was a good idea -- which i do n't -- there 's still one huge reason i ca n't marry you , jj . jj : what 's that ? haley : you ca n't fix this . you can't . you betrayed my confidence , and that 's ... that 's why i 'm in this situation now . and yes , i 've let it go . i 've let it go because i 'm tired of being angry . i do n't wan na be angry anymore at you or anybody else . but ... marrying you ... no . no , i - i can't . i won't . ted : hey , hope . i owe you an apology . hope : for what ? ted : well , your husband does n't seem to like very much the fact that you are in my corner . and i 'm sorry if i create any conflict . have you two made peace yet ? hope : unfortunately , no , uh , we haven't . things are still a little -- ted : you know , i know you have some issues with rafe 's loyalty . i just want to say that i hope i did n't make anything worse . hope : rafe and i will ... we 'll work through this . ted : not tonight . hope : uh ... no . not tonight . ted : well , in that case , let me order dinner -- like a real dinner . we can eat and work at the same time , right ? hope : something more nutritious than this ? [ both laugh ] jj : i understand why you hold me responsible for the situation you 're in . hell , haley , look , i am responsible . but there are n't too many other ways to avoid getting deported . like i said , i just ... i want to do this for you . you know , why don't ... why do n't you just come back to my place , there 's no pressure , just to give you some alone time to think . and if you do end up saying yes , it might look good that you 're staying with me again . haley : i - i can't . i need to go back to the loft . jj : are n't there a bunch of reporters camped out there ? haley : there 's a back entrance , so i - i can avoid them . jj : okay , um ... it 's your call . whatever decision you make tonight and going forward , i 'll respect them , and i promise not to push . but haley , we 're under the gun . haley : okay . tripp : straight to voice mail . maybe haley turned off her phone to avoid the press . claire : yeah . or maybe she 's meeting with her sister . she is a big - time lawyer . tripp : yeah , and a big - time ice queen . claire : well , yes , that is true , but her little sister 's about to get deported . so i 'd say it 's possible that her heart melted just a little bit . tripp : maybe you 're right . claire : look , since we ca n't reach haley , i 'd say the best thing for us to do is just be at home , right , for if and when she decides to come back . tripp : okay , yeah . i 'll head there now . claire : great . and i 'll pick up something special for dinner , and i 'll see you soon . tripp : all right . rafe : can i have a minute alone with my wife ? ted : uh , certainly . rafe : mm . great . hi . hope : hi . rafe : i was hoping you could find time to have dinner with me tonight . i know obviously you 're ... busy . uh ... okay , look , uh ...

[ distorted laughter over speaker ] chad : what the hell ? [ distorted male voice ] deimos : always so noble , chad . a true unicorn among the dimeras . chad : deimos , you son of a bitch . deimos : deimos ? the dimeras have so many enemies . why narrow it down to just one ? chad : [ yells ] i 'll kill you ! hey , why do n't you come down here , huh ? i 'm the one that you want . why do n't you kill me , huh ? get it over with . deimos : killing your enemy is too easy , too quick . better to watch him suffer . better to make his life a living hell . and after tonight , that 's exactly what yours is going to be . chad : i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry . i want the most out of my health and life . jj : hey , there he is . eli : jj , what 's up , man ? jj : hey . lani : hey , eli . i 'm lani . we met briefly at the funeral . eli : abe 's daughter . yeah , i remember . lani : right . eli : well , you missed the party , man . it 's pretty much over . jj : oh , that 's okay . it 's been a long day . but i 'm glad we actually ran into you , 'cause lani wanted to talk to you about something . but , um , where 's gabi ? eli : she was n't feeling well . she left early . jj : oh . she okay ? eli : i do n't think it 's a big deal . jj : good . i 'm gon na go say hi to my sister . eli : abigail left early too . something with her kid . but i think chad 's still around somewhere . jj : all right , i 'll find him while you two have a nice chat . i 'll see you inside ? lani : you know what ? i 'm actually gon na call a cab . i need to go home , soak in a hot bath , and defrost . i 'll see you tomorrow ? jj : yeah . ca n't wait . lani : okay . eli : mm ! lani : so , uh , david was your father ? eli : yeah . yeah , he was . lani : i had wondered , you know , the day of the funeral . i came back . i had left my phone there . and i saw you standing alone at his casket . it seemed like a very personal moment . but now it all makes sense . eli : yeah , it was a very personal moment , one i had n't intended to share with any strangers -- lani : i did n't mean to -- i was n't trying to -- eli : so what 's this all about ? you needed to talk to me , right ? i hope it 's about something other than you watching me at the church . lani : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to offend you . and look , it was n't my idea to talk to you . eli : well , it certainly was n't mine . lani : i 'm doing this as a favor . eli : you 're talking to me as a favor ? lani : yes . my dad asked me to talk to you ... about your mom . paul : hey , jj . jj : hey . paul : you seen chad ? jj : i just got here . but i 'm looking for him too . what 's up ? paul : well , sonny has reason to believe that deimos is planning something tonight . jj : an attack on chad ? paul : yeah , he , uh -- [ sighs ] he does n't want me involving the police at this time , but look , i 'm glad you 're here . jj : tell me everything you know . paul : okay , i 'll do my best . uh ... sonny had a plan to get rid of deimos forever . jj : i already do n't like the sound of that . come with me . where 's chad ? dario : i do n't know . i ca n't find him . jj : he 's missing ? dario : i did n't say that . jj : okay , look , i get it . you do n't want to say anything to the police . you have your code or whatever . well , i do n't give a crap about your code . if deimos has gone after chad , he can use all the help he can get . dario : look , there 's no point in arguing with you . we ca n't afford anyone else to go missing . paul : what are you talking about ? who else has gone missing ? dario : a little while ago , i found abigail 's stuff all over the ground outside , like someone had knocked it out of her hands . jj : wait , you do n't know where she is ? dario : no , and chad could n't get in touch with her . and now he 's gone too . jj : someone took them . dario : and i 'm pretty sure they have gabi too . [ dramatic music ] deimos : must be a helpless feeling , to see the two women you love in such peril . and yet there 's absolutely nothing you can do to help them . chad : [ breathing heavily ] deimos : you 're awfully silent , chad . you 're not gon na deny that you love your wife and her best friend ? my , my . quite the tangled web you have woven . chad : what the hell do you want ? deimos : i can tell you what these two lovely ladies want . they want you to make up your mind . it 's not fair that you keep stringing them along . abigail : that 's not what he 's doing . chad : abby , do n't -- do n't -- do n't even engage him . gabi : you do n't know what you 're talking about . whoever you are , you do n't know what you 're talking about ! chad : gabi . deimos : you should n't be so hostile to me , ladies . i 'm trying to help you out of this bermuda triangle . [ chuckles ] tonight i 'm going to relieve chad of the burden of his indecision . chad : what the -- what the hell does that mean ? deimos : i 'm sure you 've all been wondering what exactly is in those ivs attached your two lovely ladies ' arms . it 's a substance called tetrodo -- ah , never mind . i wo n't bore you with the scientific name . all you need to know is that it 's a poison , a fast - acting poison . chad : you son of a bitch . gabi : oh , my god ! chad : do n't you dare . deimos : you need to listen , chad , and listen carefully , because this is the important part . in a short time , abigail and gabi will be injected simultaneously . chad : [ yells ] i 'll kill you ! deimos : but here -- here is the good news , chad . chad : okay . deimos : my friend here will leave you with a vial containing the antidote . only one vial . chad : [ laughing ] you sick son of a bitch . deimos : once the iv bags have been depleted and all the poison released into their bloodstreams , your two great loves will have 30 seconds before their lungs cease to function . abigail : no , no , no ! gabi : no , no , no , no ! you ca n't do this ! we have little children at home waiting for us ! please ! deimos : as i 'm sure you 've figured out , chad , once your bonds are released , there will only be enough time to save one of the women and only one vial with which to do it . it 'll be your choice which woman you save and which woman you sacrifice . just think . you 'll no longer be torn between abigail and gabi . on the other hand , for the rest of your miserable life , you 'll have to live with the knowledge that you killed a woman you loved and left her child motherless . so ... are we ready to get started ? then we wad it up to make it nice and soft . lani : like you , my mom lied to me about who my father was for most of my life , so i get what you 're going through . you know , i felt like my whole life was a lie . but after i got over being so angry about it , i started to understand that she was just doing the best she could under really tough circumstances . and yeah , i still wish i could 've grown up with my dad in my life , but at least now -- eli : are you done ? lani : excuse me ? eli : are you done with your speech ? lani : it was n't a speech . i was telling you how i felt . eli : no , you were trying to tell me how to feel . so why do n't you stop meddling in my life and mind your own damn business ? jj : i 'm going to put out an apb on all three of them . dario : wait a minute . wait a minute . if deimos has them , he 's prepared for cops . if he gets wind that you 're sending the cavalry after him , he 's -- well , this might not end so well , all right ? paul : i hate to say it , but i agree with him . now is not the time to spook him . jj : okay , so we keep it small and do it ourselves . let 's take a look at the club 's security footage . dario : i 'm on it . [ cell phone rings ] paul : sonny . sonny : he 's gone . deimos is gone . i come back in , and he 's gone . he could be anywhere right now , paul . did you find chad ? paul : he 's missing . sonny : what do you mean , he 's missing ? he 's hosting the benefit . paul : he was here , and then they had to wrap early because ... chad could n't find abigail . sonny : what do you mean , he could n't find her ? paul : well , she was here too , but ... she disappeared . they found her purse outside the club . and we think that chad went to go look for her . sonny : you think ? paul : he 's off the grid , just like abigail . and now dario thinks that gabi might be missing too . sonny : all three of them ? it 's deimos . it has to be . he said he wanted to make it personal . paul : we have to give up the plan , sonny . i know how much you want to bring down deimos , but it 's not about that anymore . we have to find chad , abigail , and gabi before it 's too late . abigail : what 's the matter with you people ? so somebody 's gon na die over this stupid war ? chad : abby , it 's okay . i 've got this . deimos : is it okay , chad ? does that mean you 're going to pick abigail ? it certainly makes sense . she is your wife , the mother of your child . but if that 's your decision , i 'm sure you 'll want to say good - bye to gabi , tell her how sorry you are . i know you two share something very special . she was there for you when you thought abigail was dead . chad : hey , kill me , okay ? look , why -- why -- why -- why do n't you just kill me ? because if you do n't , deimos , i 'm gon na spend the rest of my life hunting you down , you son of a bitch . deimos : [ chuckles ] now , that is a tempting offer . chad : yeah . deimos : but i think i 'll stick with plan a . gives me more time to savor my victory . but enough talk . it 's time to make a decision . ladies , good luck to you both . abigail : no . deimos : i hope loving chad was worth it .

[ music intensifies ] lani : everybody that we have talked to has said the same thing about haley : she 's a great person , a caring nurse . she just wanted to create a life for herself . eli : law says she 's illegal . lani : i hate the idea that a person can be called illegal . eli : you know , i had a -- i had a buddy from baltimore . his cousin came from south america as a teenager . he went to school , had a decent job , family with kids . one day , he opens the door , and i.c.e . is standing there to take him away . lani : what happened to him ? eli : he tried to fight it , but he lost the court case . they deported him . took him away from his family . i mean , the -- the guy was an asset to his community . never broke the law , except for being here in the first place . lani : and now haley is facing the same fate . jj really cares about her , and after everything that he 's been through , i just -- i would hate to see him miss out on a chance at happiness . [ soft solemn music ] haley : i have decided to marry tripp , because it 's cleaner and it 's safer and -- i already explained it to you before , jj . jj : you still have n't gotten over that i told my father about you . haley : that 's part of it , and also because if i choose you , your dad would never stop going after us , and things are already bad between you two . jj : look , i can deal with my father . what i care about is helping you . haley : jj , you know , i -- i really appreciate that , but you got ta understand that by marrying tripp , i 'll not only be protecting myself , but i 'll be protecting you too . jj : look , but i -- i do n't need you to protect me . and i do n't care what my dad does . haley , he 's not the man that i knew and loved . if he were , he never would 've sold you out for his campaign . haley : yeah , but before that , you guys were getting closer . jj : it was all a lie . it was a lie . he cares about himself and his campaign , which is why i 'm going to make sure he never becomes mayor . haley : no , jj , no , no , you do n't wan na do that . jj : what , do you want him to be mayor of this town ? haley : no , no , of course i do n't , but i do n't wan na be the reason that you and your dad are on bad terms . jj : he is the reason ... not you . come on , haley . i wan na help you . haley : no , no , i -- i 'm sorry , okay , but it 's just too complicated for the both of us . jj : is that it or -- [ stammers ] -- is there more to it ? haley : no . no . jj : let 's be honest ... the real reason you do n't wan na marry me is n't because of my dad . the reason you do n't wan na marry me is ... haley : jj ... jj : well , i think you 've kinda said it , but maybe -- maybe not as bluntly as i 'm about to . look , you do n't wan na marry me , because you still hate me . claire : [ laughs ] i 'm sorry , i think i misheard you . did you just say you 're marrying haley ? tripp : i know it sounds strange . claire : no , no , no , no , no , strange is when you misplace your phone and you find it in the fridge . no , tripp , this is insanity . [ laughs ] what the hell is going on ? tripp : it 's a long story . claire : oh , well , i -- i 've -- i 've got time , nothing but ears and time . so , uh -- okay , so , so far , you are committed to me , but you are marrying haley ? tripp : okay , look , you know how much trouble haley 's in with immigration , all right ? she 's gon na be deported if she does n't do something , so jj offered to marry her so she 'd stay in the country . claire : oh , that sounds like a fantastic idea . why did you say you 're marrying her ? tripp : because with jj , things get tricky . i mean , his dad is running for mayor , and jack is the one who outed haley in the first place . so , if she marries jj , they 're just gon na be under a lot of scrutiny . tripp : oh , come on , tripp , you 're jack 's nephew . you think you 'll fly under the radar ? tripp : well , it 's different . i do n't have a relationship with jack . plus , haley does n't want to make things worse between jj and his father . so , i suggested that she marry me instead , and she agreed . claire : uh , wa -- wait a minute , this was your idea ?

[ scene_break ] jennifer : just going to shawn and mimi 's wedding today just really hits home for me . that 's all . and i 'm not expecting you to understand , frankie . i mean , you 're not married . and there is a closeness that you share when you 're married that does n't compare to any other relationship . just knowing someone so well . you know , i knew the punch line to every single one of jack 's jokes , and i still laughed anyway . we would put our children to bed at night , and we would just stand there , and we would watch them breathe . and we would put our arms around each other , and we would think , `` my gosh , how did we get so lucky ? `` and it 's just these incredible memories that are just for me and jack . and now they 're just for me . frankie : but your life is n't over , jen . jennifer : oh , do n't say this . do n't say , `` jack is gone . he 's dead , and you need to move on without him . `` frankie : but do n't you ? jennifer : i 'm a mother . my children are enough for me , and i can take care of them all by myself . frankie : i know you can . absolutely . that 's not what jack wanted . he told me to take care of you because he wants you to be happy and not just as a mother , but as a woman . jennifer : no , do n't say that . frankie : why ? jennifer : because the time that we have been spending together and being together and you hugging me and kissing me -- frankie : you 're kissing me back . jennifer : yes , i am ! and that is the point . it is a betrayal of everything that jack and i shared together . frankie : you know , i really thought that we were getting to a better place with each other , but ... i should go back to d.c. , okay ? my leg is better . jennifer : no , but i do n't want you to go ! frankie : then what do you want ? jennifer : i do n't know what i want . i want ... i do n't know . i feel things for you that are terrifying to me . i 'm starting to feel things . frankie : you 've been honest with me . can i be honest with you ? jennifer : yes . frankie : i 'm not just starting to feel things for you . my feelings for you have not changed at all .

[ scene_break ] austin : somehow , sami , you always end up at the right place at the wrong time to overhear other people 's private business . lucas : mm - hmm , that 's what sami does . she ruins other people 's happiness .. sami : that is an awful thing to say . and for the record , i am not doing anything . i 'm just standing here . lucas : and eavesdropping . you 're not happy , so you ca n't stand it if anyone else is happy , right ? especially your own sister . sami : i did n't overhear anything . lexie told me . austin : lexie ? sami : she and carrie are friends . lexie told me that carrie is struggling with a really important decision . and i can put two and two together . i ca n't believe the way that carrie is stringing you both along , but it must be nice to have two men who want to marry you . lucas : she 's not stringing us along . she 's not like you . she 's made her decision . she 's in lexie 's office now . she 's gon na come back here , and she 's gon na tell us . sami : wow , it 's just like a reality show . one man will have his heart broken tonight . the other , if he accepts the rose , he 'll have the bride of his dreams . stay tuned . i ca n't believe you 're both letting her jerk you along like this . but since it is a contest , i know who i 'm rooting for . lucas : oh , yeah ? who 's that ? [ scene_break ] fr . jansen : i imagine belle was going to say that we all need to have a bit of respite , a bit of recovery time before we proceed with the ceremony , a time to reflect on the love of these two young people who have come before god to join their lives together . we 'll proceed in a few minutes . belle : [ clears throat ] kate : you know , belle , you did n't have to say anything about chelsea . she was sitting in the back row . i do n't think shawn would have even noticed her . belle : i know she 's your granddaughter , but , kate , she came here to cause trouble . kate : well , of course . i would n't want her to disrupt the ceremony . that would have been unconscionable . look , it 's just that i -- you know what we talked about . i felt so responsible for chelsea and billie and everything that 's been going on between them . i 've been thinking about that , and you know , i realize that of all of my children , philip was the only one who ever had the consistent love of both of his parents . and well , i think that 's the reason that he 's turned out to be such a loving father and loving husband . belle : yes , it is . kate : i ca n't tell you how grateful i am that claire will always have a loving , stable family . oh , and there 's your precious little girl . belle : hi , baby ! hi ! i had her in the nursery . why did you bring her out here ? bonnie : well , call me sentimental , but shawn and mimi are claire 's godparents , and years from now , when she 's looking through the family photo album , she 'll be so happy that she was here with her mommy and her daddy . [ scene_break ] bo : my son is in there getting married , his mother 's off god knows where , and i am stuck out here with you . chelsea : whose choice was that ? go back in there if that 's where you want to be . bo : i would if i could trust you to do the right thing and leave , but , no , i ca n't . you never do the right thing . [ scene_break ] billie : you 're being way too nice , bo . chelsea : mom ! billie : oh , do n't play innocent with me . you knew exactly how everyone would react if you walked into that church today , but you did it anyway , just like you did it at zack 's funeral . you know what i think ? i think that you just ca n't stand not to have everyone 's attention focused on you 24 hours a day , especially your father 's . you do n't care anything about bo 's life . you just want to get what you want . chelsea : fine , i get it . you both hate me . i 'm not allowed to be a part of anything important that happens to anybody in this family . and you 'd both be much happier without me , would n't you ? but you know what ? just be careful what you wish for because it just might happen . [ scene_break ] marlena : [ gasps ] alex ... you 'd never hurt me . i know you would n't . in fact , you know , when i think about it , really think about it , i realize that those -- those so - called memories were just -- they were n't even real . you must know that john talked about you all the time , kept filling my head with , i do n't know , notions about you ... all the terrible , horrible things you must have done to me , but i realize those were n't true . and i -- i got to apologize . i 'm feeling kind of embarrassed about it . i -- i 'm so sorry . i should never , ever have believed a bit of it , not for a second . alex : [ clears throat ] you are not the only psychiatrist in the room , doc . did you actually think i would fall for any of that , hmm ? it 's obvious that you remember john and even more so that you remember the truth about your past with me . and that truly is a shame because now -- now that you have your memory back , i 'm afraid you 're going to have to die . marlena : [ gasps ] [ scene_break ] jennifer : i 'm making things worse . i 'm sorry . i never should have told you how i feel . i mean , you put your life on hold for me twice , frankie , to be here for me and my children . you do not need to be pressured about your feelings . i keep changing my mind . i do n't know what i want . it 's probably driving you completely crazy . frankie : jennifer ... jennifer : but you know what ? i have n't told anybody about how i feel -- no one . if hope were here , i would have told her because i always spill my guts to her 'cause she 's my cousin , but she 's really like my sister -- frankie : excuse me , please , can i say something ? jennifer : sorry , yeah , sorry . frankie : okay , look , what i meant when i said my feelings had n't grown was there 's no way they could grow . jennifer : okay . okay . frankie : because what i felt for you in high school , it was real . i loved you . that has n't changed . true , i 've never been married . you 're right . but when we were 17 ... [ exhales sharply ] i knew in my heart that you were the girl i wanted to spend the rest of my life with . and i know now that you 're the woman that i want to spend the rest of my life with . i just said way too much , but who cares ? you know , it 's the first time i feel safe saying it , so i 'm gon na ... you considered me your friend , and i considered myself damn lucky to have your friendship and jack 's , too . i guess what i need to know is do you have any room in your heart for me ?

[ sighs ] good . now the diamonds are safe until i need them . they can tear my room apart all they want , and they still wo n't find them . melanie : and he 's already asleep . what -- pfft . what 's with you ? serena : what do you mean ? melanie : why -- why are you so happy all of a sudden ? serena : oh , um , you know , i just -- there was this , uh , bit of business that i took care of that was kind of hanging over my head , and ... i do n't know -- i feel like a weight 's been lifted off my shoulders . melanie : well , no wonder you 're smiling . serena : yeah . yeah , it 's -- it 's all good . tori : well , if you did n't make things clear to sonny , then what did you talk about ? paul : i told him that he needed to try and work things out with will , and i told him that he needed to take it easy on the guy . tori : sounds to me like you 're hedging your bets . paul : well , too bad you were n't there to tell me what to say . maybe i should 've just lied to him and told him that i do n't care about what he does . or better yet -- i could 've told him that i do n't love him anymore ! would that have cleared things up enough for you ? tori : that 's exactly what you should 've said , paul : you know what ? i 'm not gon na do this anymore . i have to go . tori : no , paul . paul ! will : i just want to know why you went to see paul before you saw me . sonny : i ran into paul on my way home to see you . i was walking through the town square , and i saw paul doing a photo shoot with john . it was a publicity shot for a kids ' charity . i did n't want to stop , but john called me over . and i 'm sorry , but i could n't tell him i - i -- `` oh , john , i ca n't stop and talk . that 's my ex - boyfriend , the guy that will slept with . `` and it would 've been pretty rude of me if i did n't talk . so i chitchatted a little bit , yes . will : did you and paul talk alone ? sonny : yeah , we did , for a couple minutes . will : let me guess ... he told you how much he wants you back . sonny : no , that 's not what he said , not even close . he told me we should n't see each other anymore . you happy now ? will : he said you two should n't see each other ? sonny : that 's what he said . he wanted to give you and me space so we could work things out . will : well , if he wants to give us space , then what 's he still doing in salem ? i mean , god , sonny , ca n't you see what he 's up to ? sonny : he defended you , will . he told me not to be too hard on you . will : i 'm sure he did . that way , he comes off looking like a little plaster saint . sonny , read between the lines ! sonny : to see what ? will : he said that he does n't want you two to see each other . what he means , sonny , is he does n't want you two to see each other because he knows it 'll be too hard for you to resist him . sonny : that is enough . you are either paranoid , or you 're just making things up . will : no , the only one making things up is paul ... like his excuse to stay in salem . sonny : what are you talking about ? will : oh , please . like that charity -- like that charity really matters . as if it 's gon na fail if paul narita 's not there . god , how is this so clear to me and you do n't see this ? sonny : you just stop ! stop it ! do you know what i was doing the whole time i was gone ? i was thinking about you ... about us . now i think it 's your turn to start thinking . what do you want to get out of this ? do you want to fix this , or do you want to keep coming up with new ways to put the blame on me because i was with paul before i was with you ? until you figure that out , i am done talking . abe : you know , ever since you came back , chad , i have wondered ... what do you really want ? and i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm serious . do you even know ? or are you too into the good life to give it any thought ? chad : trust me , abe . i know exactly what i want . i 'm not afraid to go after it . abigail : it 's not that i do n't want to live with you . ben : okay , then what are you saying ? [ chuckles ] abigail : that maybe we should n't move in together too soon before we 're ready and then just ruin what we have going right now . ben : [ sighs ] abigail : what ? ben : nothing . i was just hoping you 'd have a different reaction . abigail : maybe you do n't see moving in together as a big deal or as big of a deal as i do . i mean , i guarantee it would be a huge deal to my family . ben : they do n't call it `` living in sin , `` do they ? abigail : no . they 're not that bad , but ... it would be a big deal to them . listen , i 'm sorry if i disappointed you or upset you , okay ? i ... i love that you want to live together . it means the world to me . it just ... caught me by surprise . look , you have a big test tomorrow , okay ? so why do n't i get out of here and let you study for real ? ben : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] [ door closes ] ben : [ sighs ] roman : okay , that was , uh , abe . brady definitely does not want this to get out , okay ? you understand what i 'm saying ? eric : we 're not gon na say anything . nicole : except to daniel . eric : well ... listen , when i saw brady this morning , he seemed in such great shape . nicole : he could n't be using again . he could n't . i wish i could talk to him . eric : me too , but we ca n't . roman : no . no , you ca n't . and , uh ... that 's not what he needs right now , okay ? and like i said , we keep this quiet . all right ? [ cell phone ringing ] nicole : you know , uh , i was with daniel before i came here , and he did n't say a word about this . eric : i saw melanie , and she did n't tell me either . now that i know , i 'm gon na go check in with her . i 'll talk to you again soon ? nicole : yeah , whenever you want . [ sighs ] melanie : so you 're not gon na tell me what it is ? serena : what is ? melanie : the weight that 's been lifted off your shoulder ? serena : you know what ? it 's not a big deal , uh , except to me , but ... i want to hear about what happened with brady . you did n't say much . melanie : right . no , my dad and i found him knocked out on the floor of his grandfather 's study . um , the police think it was a robbery , but the thief must 've been a little bent . serena : why ? melanie : because usually a thief , if they wanted to knock you out , they would conk you over the head , but this person injected him with something . serena : that is weird . i mean , was there something obviously stolen ? melanie : no . serena : there could 've been another motive . what are you thinking ? melanie : what i 've been thinking about since the second i found out about this -- that theresa donavon is somehow involved . and the guy that she 's been seeing -- i mean , who even knows what his deal is about ? serena : can i offer you some advice ? melanie : that i should n't push this , right ? serena : i had to find out the hard way that sometimes it 's better to avoid certain people , certain situations before you get in way , way over your head . melanie : did this happen to you ? serena : you know what the trouble is with making bad choices ? having to live with them afterward . will : you taking a nice , long walk ? paul : will . will : hoping to run into my husband again ? abigail : ooh . [ laughs ] wait . what -- what was that about ? chad : last time we saw each other , you accused me of hitting on you , so i 'm just -- i 'm trying to stay out of your way . abigail : okay , well , you do n't have to . i 'm a big girl , and i can take care of myself . chad : okay , good . if i do n't have to avoid you , it makes it easier to pass along a message . abigail : message ? chad : from theo . he really misses you . abigail : god , i miss him too . i 've been so busy . i feel bad now . chad : well , he and i are going rollerblading . yeah , he , uh -- he wanted me to talk you into joining us . abigail : oh , um ... chad : oh , but i am sure he would have just as much fun if it were the two of you , so ... abigail : i 'll call you . chad : well , message delivered . abigail : um , wait . so i - i heard there was a big shake - up at dimera enterprises , huh ? chad : there was . i lost my fancy title . abigail : well , if that was something you really wanted , i 'm sorry . chad : eh , you know what they say . you ca n't always get what you want . melanie : okay , so this business that you 're talking about where you 're in over your head -- does this have anything to do with eric ? serena : no . no , absolutely not . he is the best man i know . melanie : yeah . so , obviously , you know what i 'm gon na say next , and that 's , `` you would be certifiably insane to let a man like that walk away . `` serena : you 're right . melanie : okay . listen , i know that you have this amazing job where you can travel all over the world , but there -- you know , there are good things outside of work too . serena : yeah , but some of the people i work with do n't seem to know that sometimes . melanie : well , there 's got to be some way you can stay with eric and stay in salem and keep your career , right ? serena : well , funny you should say that , because that business thing that i took care of before , um ... there 's a possibility that things just might work out for me to stay here . melanie : how big of a possibility ? serena : it 's looking pretty good . melanie : seriously ? serena : yeah . well , let 's just put it this way -- i 'm feeling a lot better about me and eric , a whole lot better . sonny : is dad still here ? adrienne : uh , no , no . he had to get back to dubai . sonny : how are things between you two ? adrienne : oh , we 're good . we 're good , really good . ooh , can you get this ? i 'm just a little caught up . sonny : yeah . adrienne : thank you , baby . sonny : want me to hang your coat ? adrienne : no , no , no , where 's will ? sonny : oh , he just went out for a little bit . adrienne : where ... is will , honey ? you do n't have to pretend with me , okay ? i know about will and paul . sonny : you do ? adrienne : mm - hmm . that 's why you left , is n't it ? not to recuperate or to see your brother . sonny : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry i did n't tell you before . you know , it 's just not easy to talk about . adrienne : you do n't have to apologize . i know you had a lot to sort out . sonny : yeah , i did . adrienne : oh , baby ... i hate to see you hurting . paul : you 've seen sonny . will : that 's right . paul : well , if he did n't make it clear to you that i had no idea he was coming back today -- will : oh , i buy -- i buy that you did n't know . but now you do . and you 're just gon na keep manufacturing other reasons to just run into him until you get your message across . paul : the only message i 'm trying to get across is that he should cut you some slack . will : oh , that 's so damn decent of you . it 's also a really good way to keep him thinking about the fact that i cheated . it 's a good move , paul . it 's like that charity event you 're doing with john black . that 's another good move . it 's right up there with your curveball . it 's far more believable than that whole `` staying in salem for my physical therapy `` scam . now you 're just staying here for the sake of the children . paul : no , i committed to doing that -- that benefit long before i knew sonny was coming back . will : but you knew eventually that he would be back . he 's got a family and a business here . and after that charity event would be done , you 'd think of some other reason to stick around as long as you were here when sonny got off that plane . paul : hmm . well , i guess if i did want to go after him , i 'd do it right now ... when he 's alone . the husband you claim to love so much is finally home ... and -- and you leave him alone , so you could track me down and yell at me . now , why is that , will ? how come he 's there and you 're here ? abigail : you think i do n't see through you , chad ? chad : i honestly have no idea what you 're talking about . abigail : all right , okay , just forget it , never mind . chad : hey , can we please not have this end the way it always does with us ? please ? tell me something good . abigail : what ? chad : how are things going with ben ? everything okay ? abigail : yeah , everything 's fine . why would you say that ? chad : i do n't know , abigail . it 's just -- it 's an expression that people use when they want to know how it 's going . abigail : okay , yes . we 're fine . chad : okay , good . that 's great . uh , so what did he think of the book ? abigail : the book ? what book ? chad : your dad 's . abigail : uh ... i ... i - i do n't know . i do n't -- i do n't think he 's read it . chad : oh , really ? well , that -- that 's surprising . melanie : you just missed serena . eric : i did ? melanie : yes , you did . and i - i talked to her about the thing that i said i was going to talk to her about . eric : and ? melanie : i think you 're gon na like what i have to tell you . nicole : hi . serena : bye . nicole : wait , wait , wait . i -- [ chuckles ] i just had drinks with eric . we had a nice talk . serena : you and eric ? nicole : yeah , i know . who would 've thought it was possible ? serena : he 's a very understanding man . nicole : yes . and he sure understands you . serena : you two talked about me ? nicole : yes , and the two elephant statues that you dropped in daniel 's apartment . serena : you really -- you 've got to get your vision checked . i think you 're seeing double . nicole : you see , i know that 's what you want me to think . but after talking to eric , i knew i was right . see , there 's elephant number one that belonged to eric , and there 's elephant number two -- the one you told eric you lost in a move . but you had them both in your hands . and for some reason , you do n't want anyone , especially eric , to know . sonny : i spent a lot of time in phoenix ... thinking about how it all went wrong between will and me ... like , what i could 've done differently . adrienne : oh , please do n't tell me you 're blaming yourself , sonny . sonny : i 'm just trying to be honest with myself . it takes two to make a marriage work . so that means it takes two to make a marriage fall apart . adrienne : unless one partner simply is not who he claimed to be . sonny : when i was having money problems , i did n't tell will . adrienne : what ? that justifies cheating on you ? sonny : and there 's something else too . when paul and i broke things off ... i promised him that i would not tell anyone about us . and i kept that promise . i did n't even tell will . adrienne : well , you gave your word . sonny : but i 'm not 100 % sure that 's the real reason i never told will . adrienne : what other reason could there -- sonny , do you still have feelings for paul ? will : i am here because sonny and i had a fight . paul : mm . and what did i do now ? will : you were here . you are here ! paul : well , i 'm sorry that you guys argued , honestly . will : but here you are anyway . paul : and -- and everything would be good between you and sonny if i were n't ? is that the point that you 're trying to get across , will -- that everything would be damn perfect if i was n't here in salem ? do you -- do you realize how paranoid you sound ? sonny married you , remember ? you ! will : because you said no ! paul : come on , you ca n't believe that to be true ! will : why -- why would sonny want me if he could have you ? abigail : why are we talking about my dad 's book ? chad : 'cause i was just thinking about it . i saw a mention of it online the other day . it was really complimentary . abigail : yeah , it was . chad : so ben 's never read the book ? abigail : well , he might have . i mean , i think he has a copy . chad : no , i mean , i just find it really hard to believe that -- that if he read it , he would n't talk to you about it . abigail : he 's in school right now , chad . so , you know , he 's got more books than he even knows how to handle . he 's ... chad : yeah , you 're right . abigail : a college student . chad : i 'm sorry i brought it up . but i hope ben gets around to it , though . the writing -- it -- it was amazing . do you remember what he said about the silence of the night ... and sleeping under the stars ? `` it was a peaceful stillness that could 've only been a gift from god . `` and it was so simple ... so , uh -- so -- so right . abigail : yeah . it 's the best thing he ever wrote . chad : mm - hmm . abigail : yeah , he finally found his voice . chad : yes , he did . well , i should get going . it was really good to see you . abigail : it was good to see you too . melanie : well , something happened when serena was here . eric : that 's all you know ? melanie : no , no . i went to put parker , uh , to bed , and when i came back , she just seemed , um , happier . eric : really ? why ? melanie : well , she said she had some business that was hanging over her head that she took care of . eric : something to do with the article she 's working on ? melanie : i do n't know . but she was talking about sticking around and how she felt really positive about the future for the two of you . [ giggles ] serena : i 'm not keeping anything from eric . that 's your style , nicole , not mine . nicole : why were you really in daniel 's apartment , hmm ? serena : dropping off books for melanie . i told you that . nicole : mm . and you also said that there was only one elephant , so ... serena : did you pump eric about me ? nicole : no , actually , i told him i was sorry for giving you a hard time . serena : and then you went after me ? nicole : no , that is not true . eric just happened to tell me about the two elephants , and he did n't seem to think it was a secret . serena : yes , i did have a carving just like eric 's . yes , i lost mine in the move ... which is why i wanted eric 's -- for the sentimental value , but then i found out that he gave it to daniel 's son and that parker loved it , and then i gave up on the idea . end of story , lady . how is , um , daniel doing , by the way ? nicole : what ? why ? serena : well , i was just wondering if things were really back on with the two of you , because if you remotely act like this around him , i can see him running for the hills . actually , how did you get such a smart guy like that to even be interested in you ? nicole : oh , shut the hell up . serena : [ laughs ] i have never met someone so desperate to be right when she is always so completely wrong . but i guess it 's a lot easier to go after me than face your own problems . 'cause you could n't keep eric . you clearly ca n't keep daniel . maybe you ca n't hold on to anyone . do n't know . do n't care . just stay the hell away from me . sonny : i will always have feelings for paul . i mean , you do n't go from loving someone to feeling nothing . i love will . i just -- i - i think that , uh ... adrienne : what ? what ? sonny : [ sighs ] that i rushed him ... into marrying me . adrienne : oh , honey ... will 's a big boy . he knew exactly what he wanted . sonny : he just came out . everything was new to him . i was the only guy he 'd ever been with . adrienne : honey ... i hope you and will can find a way to work this out . i do . but you have to stop trying to find an excuse for what he did , honey . he betrayed you . and if he loves you and he wants you to forgive him , he has to earn that forgiveness . he needs to step up and take responsibility for what he did . will : i - i did n't mean -- paul : i do n't think for one minute that sonny only married you because i said no . he 's not that kind of guy . i mean , you of all people should know that . will : this is all such a mess . sonny 's right . it 's my fault that it 's like that . paul : could you maybe give sonny a little time ? i mean , he 's still hurting . but he knows that you guys have such a beautiful family together . and you got a beautiful , little daughter . it 's what he 's always wanted . he 's not gon na just throw it all away . he 'll find a way to forgive you . will : and that 's what you want ? you 're actually rooting for us ? because if you are ... then please go away and let us get over this . but if you do n't ... you will be sorry . | sonny told will that he saw paul . will did n't like that he saw him . tori did n't want paul around sonny , but paul wanted to see sonny . will was upset that sonny saw paul first until sonny reminded him about cheating . chad talked to abe about not telling theo that he tried to arrest stefano . while eric and nicole were talking about serena , roman told them that brady was in the hospital . paul could n't take arguing with tori and left the hotel . will wanted to know why sonny saw paul first . sonny told him what happened when he saw paul . sonny also told will that paul agreed not to see him anymore . |
[ tense music ] chad : is thomas okay ? abigail : yeah , he 's asleep . [ sighs ] it 's just so hard for me to leave him , but you can keep an eye on him with this . it 's just so hard for me to be so scared all the time , so freaked out . i just feel so vulnerable . chad : i know , and ... hey , the police will find him soon enough . okay ? i know it 's hard . the guy traumatized you and traumatized a lot of people , but it -- it just -- we have to do our best to stay positive . abigail : stay positive ? what 's there to be positive about ? everywhere that i look , ben is there . the hotel , chicago . [ sighs ] here staring back at me on our wedding . i mean , it just does n't make any sense . how could he be out there following me and no one can find him ? chad : i know , i know . i do n't understand it either . abigail : what i do understand is that he is some kind of evil genius . i mean , he -- he has gotten by police and guards . he 's gotten over and under fences . he 's gotten through locked doors . i mean , he had all of us thinking that he was in louisiana when actually he was here in salem the entire time . [ sighs ] chad , what ? chad : i lied . ben was n't in louisiana . jj : all right , let me get this . gabi : no , no , no , no . i was not giving you a line when i said i would pay . this is to show my gratitude for you watching me and ari last night . jj : all right . gabi : hey . jj : i was n't going for the check . may i see your hand ? gabi : [ chuckles ] jj : look , as far as being grateful and all , i was just doing my job . besides , i - i like being your personal bodyguard . gabi : well , all right . it meant a lot to have you there . and i ca n't believe i have my little sugar bear back . my sweet , little ari . it 's just , you know , it 's -- i ca n't totally relax knowing that the person that did this is still out there . jj : yeah , we wo n't let her out of our sight . gabi : oh , definitely . definitely .

[ chuckles ] adriana : rafael alejandro ! rafe : okay , mami . there 's plenty of time to go over the details . right now we just need to focus on getting you better . adriana : the doctor said i was okay . they found nothing in my blood . whatever drug was in my system is gone now . i just want to know why i was being held captive . please , tell me . rafe : we 're still investigating that . what about tia estrella ? did you call her and let her know that you 're okay ? adriana : ay , dios mio , estrella ! she -- she must be dying . gabi : yes , let 's go . let 's use my phone . there 's signal outside , mami . let 's go . rafe : that 's right . adriana : estrella must be wondering where i -- gabi : yeah . rafe : all right . dario : obviously you do n't want to tell her about eduardo . rafe : well , obviously , yeah . i think that she 's been through enough trauma already . do n't feel like she 's ready to face the man who broke her heart all those years ago and abandoned our family and , um , you know , when she finds out why he left and what kind of man he really is , it 's just gon na end up breaking her heart all over again . chad : [ sighs ] look ... i doubted you . i did n't think you could handle knowing ben was nearby . you 're right . he obviously snuck onto the estate somehow in -- i do n't -- he obviously shredded the nightgown . abigail : yeah . [ sighs ] [ crying ] chad : come here . i 'm sorry . abigail : [ crying ] chad : i did n't want to ruin our wedding day . i 'm sorry . can you forgive me ? abigail : chad ... okay , listen , i understand what you were trying to do . i -- i just -- we 're married now , okay ? we ca n't have any more secrets between us , ever . even if it 's because you 're trying to protect me . you got to trust me that i can handle whatever obstacles come our way , and we have to face things together . we have to be partners . we have to be a team , chad . chad : yeah , i know . you 're right , and as a team , i think maybe -- i think we should put our heads together and go on the offensive . i have an idea , but we 're gon na need some help . e . john : partner , i just ca n't -- i ca n't tell you how amazed i am that you 'd risk getting thrown back in jail by jumping bail and crossing the state line to come and find me . steve : yeah , it just shows you how thick i am , since it turns out you were in salem the whole time . john : i 'll tell you what , if the judge revokes it , i 'm going to bat for you , and i 'm sure rafe will too . you 're ... you 're a hell of a friend and a bona fide hero . steve : you know who the real hero is ? your little woman right there . marlena : oh . steve : i got into a very nasty situation in that warehouse , and she knocked the dude out cold . john : yeah , well , we 're -- we 're very lucky to have a couple fantastic women in our lives , are n't we ? steve : i know how lucky i am . marlena : it turns out paul 's gon na have to spend a few more hours here . kayla : at least . marlena : so since he 's resting , why do n't you go on home and you can get some rest too ? kayla : that 's a great idea . i 'll keep you updated . john : all right , all right . there 's just , uh , one thing i need to do first . rafe : she does n't need to know about eduardo right now . let 's wait , okay ? dario : we 'll have to tell her sooner or later . rafe : well , later . better . adriana : [ sighs ] dario : did you talk to tia estrella ? adriana : yeah , she had no idea i was even missing . rafe : see ? adriana : someone sent her an email from my address saying i was in salem and that something was wrong -- an emergency with rafael and gabriela . rafe : wow , yo ling really covered all his bases , did n't he ? thank god you 're with us and you 're safe . adriana : yes , it 's a miracle . rafe : yeah . adriana : and to be back together with my children . my beautiful children . my granddaughter .

'cause you have n't called yet . chad : i will in a second . why do n't you go upstairs and get out of these traveling clothes ? abigail : i have a better idea . why do n't you call someone and seal up those stupid tunnel entrances ? chad : that would be overreacting . abigail : are you saying that i 'm overreacting ? this is ... this is our home . we live here . i do n't want rats or people like your father entering whenever they want . my children live here . chad : they 're my kids too . abigail : i know they 're your kids too . god , why did you say it like that ? chad : like what ? abigail : like that . like you 're , you know , mad at me or something . look , obviously i 'm a little rattled right now about all of this and i mean , even you have to admit that strange stuff has been happening . steve getting in this fight with gabi and giving ... you that ring , which you 're wearing . chad : it 's all i have left from my father . abigail : the man that gave you that is not your father . chad : i know . it 's just a ring , honey . abigail : it 's not just a ring , honey . it 's a symbol , it 's -- it 's -- look , i understand keeping it , but wearing it ? it 's like you 're , i do n't know , marked by him or something . like you 're on his side , and that 's not possible . i mean , you know that , right ? sonny : i have a daughter . i 've been through this before . if david is sick , he has to see a doctor . evan : it 's just a fever . sonny : do you even know how high it is ? come on , evan , or -- evan : you can call me evan . sonny : even before i got to know you , i could tell how much you love that kid . you 've always been good to him . evan : he 's my whole life . i did n't know anything about having a son until i saw him for the first time . i looked into his little face and all of a sudden , i knew why i was here on this earth . sonny : having a child is more than a rush , okay ? he is a responsibility . you need to put david first . you need to do right by him , no matter what that means for you . that is what parenthood is all about , and i am telling you right now i know exactly what orpheus is capable of . evan : he 's not dangerous to david . sonny : you keep saying that , but do you really know him ? level with me right now . can you trust that man with your son ? gabi : i can not believe that chad would do this to me ! kate : okay , well , believe it , because he did the same thing to me . gabi : i mean , i know he hates my guts , he wants me out of the house , out of the company but i never thought he would do something like this ! kate : okay . neither did i . gabi : what the hell is going on with him ? kate : look , when i saw him , steve had just left the ring for him , okay ? a - and he was different . even the words he was saying . it was like it was coming straight out of stefano 's mouth . gabi : what ? kate : and then i find a letter . gabi : what letter ? kate : written by stefano to chad , but before i could read it , chad came back in the room , so i hid it . gabi : okay , and you have this letter ? kate : yes , yes , i saved it . gabi : so why are n't you opening it ? well , can you please read it ? kate : `` my dearest son , i know that i have kept you at a distance since my return , but the time is coming when you must know and understand my plan . until we can meet face - to - face , please believe that i have chosen you as the one who will be by my side as i retake control of my empire '' -- oh , i do n't like the sound of this . gabi : yeah . me neither . abigail : are you gon na answer me ? chad : my father held this family and this business together . abigail : yeah , and he did that while he was doing horrible things to good people . chad : my family 's been pulled apart since he disappeared , and i 'm doing my best to put it back together again . this ring represents his power and his strength . it 's a symbol , and it says that i am meant to carry it on ... and i hope you can understand that . abigail : i am trying to understand . chad : do you remember what it felt like when you found out that your father passed away ? the book that he had finished , right before he passed away . it was coming out soon . i knew it was important to you . that it represented a connection between the two of you . this ring is that for me . there was good with him and i. i know you saw that . abigail : even if your dad is alive and it 's steven brainwashed , he kidnapped marlena and he kidnapped kayla , and he is doing bad things right now , currently , in the present . and i respect that he is your father , and i respect that relationship , but i see him as a threat to us , to our family , to your family and mine . and ... yeah , you 're right . i am freaked out . i 'm freaked out about what is happening in this house . chad : nothing happened to thomas and charlotte while you were away , right ? they 're fine . we 're fine . i do n't want to talk about my father anymore . abigail : okay . chad : i would love to hear about your trip and how jj 's doing and how theo is . you must be really tired . abigail : yeah , i am tired . i 'm pretty beat , actually . look , i did n't mean to fight with you . i 'm sorry , i 'm not trying to be hard on you . i just -- i am tired . i 'm exhausted . i did n't sleep on the plane , and that 's part of it , and i ... i just -- i really missed you . and i missed the kids , and i miss being home . chad : i missed you too . abigail : okay , so ... is thomas still waking up at 5 : 00 a.m. ? chad : to watch the universal kids channel . yeah . abigail : well , he 's almost perfect . chad : yeah . abigail : all right . well , before we are both woken up at 5 : 00 a.m. , the only thing i want to do right now is just go upstairs , take a hot shower , and climb in bed with my loving husband . chad : that sounds excellent . why do n't you go up ? i have some things i need to finish . kate : what the hell do you think stefano 's up to ? gabi : well , we can probably find out if you read the rest of the letter . kate : oh , god . `` i can not stress this enough , my son . as a father , i have learned a hard lesson from the loss of some of your siblings . i know now that my children are the future . andre may be dead and gone . he and i do n't always see eye - to - eye , but we did agree on one thing . the most important thing in life is la famiglia . `` [ sighs ] oh ! i know now that he had read this letter when i first saw chad , because he was standing in front of stefano 's portrait and he was talking to him , and he was wearing the ring . gabi : okay , so you think that chad tried to kill us because he received a letter from `` stefano , `` right ? that 's what you think ? this is life , kate , okay ? not a stephen king novel . kate : you know what ? just listen to me for a second , all right ? he specifically mentions andre , and i know a couple of years ago andre managed to sneak into a hypnosis session that marlena was having with chad . gabi : and how did he do that ? kate : well , you know , i have no idea what the details were , but i do know that he managed to brainwash chad into not wanting to have anything to do with abigail . gabi : oh , that 's right . that 's when he started going after belle . kate : yeah . that 's right , because that 's what andre wanted him to do . and i also know that he planted a trigger word in his brain , and that trigger word was `` la famiglia . `` gabi : oh , and that 's why it 's in the letter . kate : all i know is that the ring and the letter were together and chad was acting different , so i think the reason that he did what he did to us -- because stefano ordered him to do it . [ waltz continues ] steve as stefano : it feels like we 're perfectly in sync . marlena : it does . steve as stefano : this is just like i imagined it would be . everything falling into place , step by step , till there 's nothing between us . not even air . marlena ? marlena , what 's wrong ? what is it ? [ marlena breathing heavily ] sonny : orpheus has a score to settle with people in this town , and that is more important to him than you and david . evan : i do n't know much about that . sonny : because you were n't here when brady was supposed to marry theresa donovan . but your old man was . he had broken out of prison with clyde weston and my cousin xander . and while xander was trying to strangle the bride , your father crashed the wedding , and he held hostages . he actually put a gun to the head of theresa 's sister eve . he shot my cousin jj in cold blood , and if that was n't bad enough , he put kayla and marlena in coffins and tried to burn them alive . so do you see what i mean when i say he has a score to settle with people in this town ? evan : yeah . sonny : i ca n't even believe that you 're his son , because i 've seen you with your son and with my daughter , and i know what you 're like when we 're alone . unless you were just faking that . evan : i wasn't . sonny : then there 's good in you , okay ? so whatever happened between you and jordan -- evan : it was an accident . sonny : oh , okay , okay . being a parent is about putting the needs of your child ahead of your own needs , and i do n't know how to say this , evan , but you come with a lot of baggage . i 'm sorry , but you are not what david needs right now . rafe needs to be raising that child , and deep down , you know it . have you seen rafe lately ? it looks like he has n't slept . he 's been going crazy , since he found out that you took david . he 's a wreck , okay ? and this is not going to end well for you . and if david is sick -- evan : it 's just a virus or something . sonny : how do you know it 's just a virus ? what if this fever spikes , and he needs to go to the er ? do you think orpheus is gon na put your son 's need ahead of his own ? because he is not . your son could be sitting there right now getting sicker and sicker , and you 're doing nothing . are you gon na be able to live with yourself , after that ? as a caricature artist , lani : sonny , hey . thank you so much for what you did for david . sonny : i just hope it turns out okay . orpheus : 17 . 18 . 19 . 20 . ready or not , here i come . hmm . now , where could david be ? huh . hmm . i wonder if i 'll ever find him , unless maybe ... he 's right here ! you 're such a great hide - and - seek player . you 're the best . i think maybe you get that from your granddad . david : yeah . orpheus : i thought i told you to stay away from here . he 's fine . i told you to stay away . evan : i had to see him for myself . how you doing , little buddy ? not so good ? that 's okay . i 'm gon na get you to a doctor , all right ? orpheus : if we go to a doctor , the police 'll have the place surrounded before we even get out . evan : well , it 's too late to worry about that . yeah , okay . hey , you guys can come in now . i got david ! orpheus : are you out of your mind ? evan : actually , i 'm thinking pretty clearly . i love you , little guy . i always will . david : yeah . evan : here you go . rafe : hey , buddy . hey . hey , it 's me . it 's all right . you do n't have to be scared anymore , pal . yeah , i got ya . i got ya . oh , my god . i got you , buddy . abigail : [ laughs ] really ? you have some things to finish ? might i remind you that the love of your life just traveled a very long way to come be with her husband and spend time with you ? chad : i 'll be up there before you 're out of the shower . abigail : really ? this ca n't wait , chad ? chad : the rats . abigail : all right , i can cope with rats for ... the night . jeez , twist your arm . i mean , come on ! kate : it 's all starting to make sense . gabi : okay , then why do n't you walk me through it ? kate : steve manages to brainwash chad and then he orders him to get rid of us , right ? gabi : okay , so if i would n't have walked in when i did , then you -- kate : yeah . i 'd probably be dead right now , and the thing i really do n't understand -- after he knocked you out , why did n't he just finish us off ? gabi : maybe somebody else walked in . kate : maybe , but whatever it was , i 'm getting the feeling that this is only a temporary reprieve . marlena : [ breathing hard ] steve as stefano : what 's wrong , my queen ? marlena : i 'm so sorry . i ca n't do this . i ... uh , i - i think ... if we 're ... having a party , i should go and ... rest . steve as stefano : of course . you and i ... have all the time in the world now .

[ scene_break ] pilot : folks , we 've got a problem with one of our engines . we may have to return to salem to get it taken care of .

[ scene_break ] carly : so how hot is that coffee ? vivian : you have this faux sense of confidence , carly , but you do n't have anyone fooled . you can tell all the lies you want about me to your lovely daughter , for instance -- carly : you were going to kill her , and i stopped you . she knows the truth know . that 's why she testified and set me free . vivian : oh , but you 're not free -- you never will be . because you know i 'm a merely an eye blink away from making that happen ... today , tomorrow . who knows ? carly : who cares ? vivian : you do , my darling . because until you die , you will live in fear . but do n't worry . i 'm going to make it happen very , very soon . [ scene_break ] bo : that crack you just made about this not ending until one of them is dead ... may be true . but it wo n't be carly . vivian 's vendetta ends now . victor : well , it 's a fine sentiment , bo , but you ca n't change the facts . i mean , carly 's done some pretty awful things ... aside from the abominable way she treated me . i mean , she murdered her husband . vivian 's not gon na let that go . bo : then i 'll stop her . victor : vivian ? she can hire a dozen lawyers . she 'll tie the d.a . up in knots . bo : excuse me . i obviously have n't made myself clear . if vivian needs to be eliminated for this circus to end ... then i will eliminate her . [ scene_break ] sami : ej , i know i 'm not alone . ej : no . of course you 're not alone . i understand that . i mean , look , you 've got our two kids , and then you have allie and will ... all living under the same roof . when was the last time that happened ? sami : well , that 's certainly true . and i have you to thank for it . i mean , you 're the one who found sydney and brought her home to me . are you sick and tired of me telling you how grateful i am all the time ? ej : no . i was just in the right place at the right time , that 's all . sami : it was a lot more than that , ej . and anyway , my kids are not my problem . ej : right . rafe ? sami : yeah . ej : look , samantha , i .. i do n't think you should be too discouraged , you know ? i mean , on the one hand , obviously , he left you . but on the other hand , in my experience , these things have a tendency to work themselves out . sami : you really think that . ej : i do . i just think at the moment he probably feels very guilty . sami : he has no reason to feel guilty . i 'm the one who feels guilty . i mean , i 'm the one who lied to him and betrayed his trust . ej : okay ... well , yes and no , all right ? i mean ... samantha , you ... got your daughter back . you did the right thing , okay ? and i think he resents you for that ... for taking away his pride . much more than he resents you for , you know , just the betrayal about our daughter . sami : well , while i appreciate your uncharacteristic optimism ... i do n't see how this is gon na work out . i do n't know how rafe and i will ever get past this . ej : neither do i. i do n't . but , um ... i do n't think you should worry about that right now . i think you should just focus on the positive . i mean , i can see so many blessings in your life , samantha , just standing right in front of you . [ scene_break ] jim : you know something , son ? being a federal agent does n't give you the right to talk to your governor like that . rafe : [ clicks tongue ] well , i 'm sorry , but what you just said did n't make any sense . jim : is that a fact ? rafe : mm - hmm . jim : well , i did my best to explain it to you . and you 're damn lucky i gave you the time . now , get out . rafe : no , nicole did n't -- she did not walk out of prison today because you got a bunch of emails . now , i can open an investigation into this ... if i have to . understand ? jim : out . rafe : i 'm gon na give you one chance . one chance to tell me the real reason why nicole dimera was set free . [ scene_break ] brady : yes , sir . yes , sir , thank you very much . it 's the justice of the peace . he 's on his way . we are go , girl . arianna : [ squeals ] oh , my gd . okay , what about , you know , all the other stuff ? brady : stuff . arianna : yeah . brady : i got the stuff taken care of . concierge and manager -- they are going to be our witnesses . arianna : okay . brady : the garden is being spruced up as we speak . there 's this archway ... it 's gon na be dripping with bougainvillea . it 's gon na be very beautiful . and the justice of the peace is bringing the license . so really , arianna , all i need is a girl that 's gon na say `` i do . `` arianna : wow . that would be me . brady : that would be you . i know , it 's crazy . but this -- i like this that it 's just us . we 're alone . arianna : i know , and i could n't have survived , you know , my mom helping me plan the wedding -- she would have been so emotional the whole time . it would have been about her . brady : my grandfather would have been walking around , mumbling into his bourbon all night . arianna : no one will interfere because no one knows . brady : no one 's gon na know . until the deed is done . [ scene_break ] nicole : so the governor called and said that i was free and that ... i had suffered enough . and you want to know what i told him ? brady : what ? nicole : that i had learned my lesson . no more fantasies about being a mother . brady : that 's good for you . nicole : and i learned something else . another lesson . and that is -- there 's only one person for me . and all i want is for you to love me again , brady . please ... will you give me another chance ? brady : god , nicole . nicole : no . it wo n't happen that fast . it 'll take time ... but it will happen . brady will love me again . [ scene_break ] sami : ej , i , um ... ej : oh -- hey , whoa . stop . sami : i really -- ej : stop . samantha , no , that 's not what i meant ... okay ? what i meant was just that that being here with you and our children -- the way a mother and father should be -- is a blessing . it 's something that i treasure every single day . and you gave that to me , and i 'm very grateful for it . and , uh ... you wo n't regret it . sami : no . i know i wo n't . ej : good . so will you let me help you ? i just want you to focus on something positive , okay ? just for right now . let 's just focus on our kids ... okay ? sami : yeah . that 'd be great . [ scene_break ] jim : point of law , agent hernandez ... the pardoning of a prisoner from a state correctional institution is a state matter . i am the governor of this state . you want to investigate , open a file . i guarantee your superiors will be all over you faster than you can blink . nicole dimera has been pardoned . it 's over . rafe : the way i see it , it 's a long way from over , governor . [ scene_break ] victor : oh , i know you better than that . you 're angry now -- bo : this has gone way past anger , victor . victor : well , i understand that too . but you love the law . no way you 're gon na commit murder . and i can hardly see you hiring a hit man and trying to get away with it . bo : i would n't do that . victor : of course not . bo : try to get away with it , i mean . if i put that woman underground by ... whatever means , i 'll own up to it . victor : oh , stop talking like that . bo : because you 're right . i do live by the law ... and i 'll accept my punishment . victor : you could spend the rest of your life in prison . bo : knowing that carly and her daughter are safe . so vivian has to realize that this ends now ... or i will put her away . victor : you 'd really give up your life for a cheap slut . bo : do n't really care ... what you or that woman think of carly . i love her . and i will do anything , victor , anything ... to protect her . i 'm not like you . i do n't throw people away , people i love , when things get inconvenient . she deserves a life with her daughter . and in order to have that life without this threat hanging over her head , i will eliminate vivian . victor : good god , do you have any idea what this would do to hope ? to ciara , to shawn douglas , chelsea ? what about your mother ? this could kill her , bo . bo : then do something about it . do something about it before i have to take matters into my own hands . [ scene_break ] carly : are you finished yet ? vivian : oh , no , my darling . i wo n't be finished until you leave the planet . you know that . that 's why your hands are trembling right now . and so they should .

[ scene_break ] melanie : look , i 'm telling you , it does make sense . nathan : you do n't just send a dear john ' letter on your wedding day ... if you send one at all -- melanie : is it so weird that i might have been thinking about you and just maybe wanted to say good - bye ? nathan : you send it ... before you accept another guy 's ring . melanie : look , nathan , i needed closure ! look , i really fell for you ... like hard . and i wanted it to work out between us , but we blew it . i blew it . i ... blew it . i could n't be the girl that you wanted me to be . nathan : what if i did n't mean that i -- melanie : no , i -- no , just -- it 's okay , it 's -- i - i made a decision . and it was a great one , because philip 's the best , and we love each other , and after everything i 've been through , i could n't ask for a better husband . so ... let 's just get this whole -- this -- this ... letter thing taken care of , okay ? i wrote it because i -- i want us both to let go . you know , no regrets or feeling sorry or anything . i just -- i want us to be friends now . nathan : no . no ! forget it . i can not be friends with somebody who acts like that . this is over .

[ scene_break ] nicole : well , he did n't sound upset . i mean , if he had known i was free , then he would have guessed it was me calling . oh , who knows ? maybe arianna does n't even know he 's in santo domingo , and ... i 'll have him all to myself . yeah . [ exhales ] [ scene_break ] arianna : nobody 's there ? brady : no . wrong number , lost the signal -- i do n't know . i do n't know . it 's nobody calling about the wedding , because nobody knows about the wedding . arianna : yeah . kinda starting to feel guilty about that . brady : family thing ? arianna : well , yeah . they 'll be okay with it . after they quit yelling .

[ scene_break ] rafe : no , i was standing right there when she got the call from the governor . sami : are you kidding me ? ej : son of a bitch . rafe : and since he was in town for a fundraiser , of course i went to his hotel to discuss the issue with him . sami : what did he say ? rafe : whole lotta nothing . obviously , someone 's gotten to him . sami , i 've already spoken to your father . he 's agreed to have cops stake this place out in case nicole tries to make another play for sydney . sami : oh , my god ! rafe : as of right now , no one knows where she is . ej : where is the governor staying ? rafe : salem inn . ej : i 'm gon na go pay him a visit . he 's gon na wish he 'd never heard the name nicole walker -- let alone dimera . sami : this is unbelievable . i mean , who does nicole know to get her a pardon ?

[ chuckles ] brady : sounds familiar . theresa : yeah , well , you know , forget about them . so what happened with maggie last night ? did you get a chance to talk to her ? brady : i did . my name is karen and i have diabetic nerve pain . theresa : so ? hey , come on , go ahead . tell me what happened with maggie . brady : we had a knock - down , drag - out last night . theresa : well , that does n't sound like fun . i bet she fights dirty . brady : no , that was -- that was me . i saw her again this morning . theresa : round two ? come on , give me the blow - by - blow . brady : [ sighs ] theresa : all right , come on , hey ... step into my office . maybe we should get a screwdriver , and you can tell me everything . brady : [ scoffs ] do n't you have to work ? theresa : yeah ... but you 're far more important . rafe : jordan was with some guy from the club ? sami : yeah , i think he works there . i mean , he could be a patient or something . rafe : okay . sami : but it seemed sort of intense , whatever they were talking about , and not in a good way . rafe : well , thanks . sami : yeah . good luck . ben : this is not good . jordan : do n't worry . ben : you do n't walk away from me , okay ? jordan : stop . stop ! rafe : hey , get your hands off her . jordan : [ gasps ] gabi : uh , thanks , ej . ej : of course . anytime . gabi : ej , hold on . i wanted to ask you something . i mean , you believe people change , do n't you ? ej : of course . maybe ... eventually . gabi : that does n't sound very positive . ej : you know , gabriella , there were times ... when i thought i had changed , and i swore to myself and to samantha that i had , but i had n't yet . and there were times when she trusted me , and she should n't have . and the consequences of that were really brutal , and we were lucky to escape with our lives . gabi : wow , that is -- ej : that 's honesty . that 's what that is . now , you -- you know where you 've been . you know nick 's past . gabi : yeah , but -- ej : that 's what you know . anything else is just nick talking . that 's why i 'm saying do n't jump into this , okay ? be careful . | brady apologized to maggie for the way he treated her . nick was with sheryl talking about work when lucas arrived . lucas warned sheryl to stay away from nick . kate and sami met at the club . sami told kate that she needed to stay away from stefano . kate reminded sami that she 's the one still with a dimera |
maggie : victor ? oh . i thought he was here . henderson : mrs. kiriakis , is there anything i can do ? maggie : uh , no . i just -- i just wanted to be with my husband this morning . victor : i 'll be back in the office soon . just have a list of all the calls i have to return on my desk . no , do not contact philip . philip will not be returning to titan . in fact , send a memo out to all the department heads . from now on , they report to me and only to me . brady : hey , uh , dad . is there any chance that you and marlena could attend a small party tonight ? well , i know the timing is n't great , but i have an announcement to make and i wanted the whole family there . edge of the square . great , thank you . i 'll see you there . [ phone beeps ] brady : granddad . victor : so what 's your big announcement ? brady : well , you 'll have to wait till tonight . you and maggie of course are invited . victor : this has anything to do with theresa donovan , you can count me out . nicole : have you given any more thought to abigail 's wedding dress being the centerpiece of our collection ? theresa : actually , i was thinking about my own . nicole : what ? theresa : brady proposed to me last night . nicole : he did ? theresa : yeah ! i did n't even know that he was thinking about it , but -- nicole : wow , that 's -- that 's wonderful . congratulations . theresa : thanks ! yeah , so we told my mom and dad , and eve knows , of course , but -- oh , listen . we -- we have n't really had a chance to tell brady 's family , so if you could maybe keep this to yourself until we tell them ? nicole : sure , yes . no problem . well , i guess we 've talked about everything we need to talk about . theresa : you 're upset , are n't you ? nicole : no . theresa : well , how could you not be ? i mean , you and daniel are supposed to be married by now , and i just got everything you ever wanted . look , i did n't mean to dump this on you , okay ? i just -- i thought maybe you 'd see the ring , and -- nicole : theresa ... do n't be silly . i am genuinely happy for you and brady . really . adriana : what is your father doing here ? gabi : mami , why do n't we -- adriana : answer me ! what is he doing in salem ? why is he in the hospital ? and since when do you know about him and you say nothing to me ? dario : go ahead , rafe . fill her in . adriana : i am not leaving this room until you tell me everything . nicole : so , have you two set a date ? theresa : uh , no . i wanted some time , you know , to plan . nicole : i 'm sure the wedding is gon na be beautiful . [ baby crying ] theresa : somebody 's up . nicole : [ chuckles ] [ baby stops crying ] nicole : [ gasps ] oh , my goodness . look who 's up . hey , buddy . did you have a good little nap ? yes , i bet you 're hungry . you 're so cute . theresa : thanks . hey , nicole , you do n't have to go . nicole : no , it 's okay . i want to go to the warehouse and make sure all the fabrics got delivered , so i 'll just talk to you later . theresa : please do n't rush out . nicole : i 'm not rushing out . theresa : i should have realized how hard this was for you . i just -- i 'm an idiot , okay ? and i - i - i 'm sorry . brady : theresa 's the mother of my son . victor : hence your big announcement . brady : we 're a family , and i 'm very happy about it , and i would love if you and maggie would come tonight and just ... pretend to be happy for me . victor : i 'll think about it . brady : thank you . victor : of course i have a lot of catching up to do at titan . i was out with this damn cold all day yesterday and of course i 'm by myself over there again . brady : i 'm sorry philip let you down . victor : yes , well , i 'm getting used to that experience with family members . adriana : where 's the baby ? gabi : oh , she 's with the officer stationed in the hallway . she was -- i did n't want her to get upset with all the yelling . eduardo : hello , adriana . adriana : you recognize me after all these years ? eduardo : i understand something terrible just happened to you . are you all right ? adriana : i 'm stronger than you think , eduardo . because raising four children alone will do that for a woman . eduardo : but you just were held prisoner against your -- dario : and you did that to her too , you sinverguenza ! and to your granddaughter ! you should be down on your knees begging for their forgiveness ! gabi : dario ! adriana : you see what you do ? can someone tell me what 's going on here ? eduardo : what 's going on here is that you ... and little arianna were kidnapped because of me . maggie : oh . when i woke up , you were gone . where did you go ? victor : i went to the office . maggie : how 's your cold ? victor : it 's better . maggie : good ... 'cause i need to tell you something . victor : if it 's about brady 's party , he already told me . i overheard something about a big announcement he was going to make . i 'm sure it 's about that damn theresa . maggie : i think we need to go to the party . victor : why ? maggie : well , because you miss brady . and the two of you need to fix this . victor : all right , if you insist . is that what you wanted to talk to me about ? maggie : no . um ... something else . something important . theresa : sorry that took so long . tate 's got this new thing where he does the raspberry when his mouth 's full of puréed plums . it 's disgusting . i had to clean myself off . nicole : theresa , theresa ... you do n't have to apologize for telling me you 're engaged . theresa : yeah , but i feel like i kind of just flung it at you . nicole : because i made you feel like that . you 're right . it 's hard to hear news like yours and not think about daniel and everything we lost , but i have to figure out a way to deal with it . theresa : yeah , and i have to figure out , you know , how to be more sensitive , which is gon na be a whole new experience for me because i 'm not used to putting other people first . nicole : i see you do that with brady and tate every day . theresa : yeah , but you 're my partner . and if you 're okay with it , i 'd like to consider you a friend . nicole : you already are . adriana : how could you let this nightmare happen to me ? eduardo : it was because of the work i was involved in . it was dangerous , and there were a lot of dangerous people involved in it . adriana : is that why you left us ? because you love danger more than you love your family ? eduardo : you could say that . but i was finally able to get out of it . and as soon as i did , i came back to salem to beg for forgiveness . rafe : i do n't remember you doing a lot of begging . eduardo : i asked to be allowed to get to know my -- my children , to become a proper abuelo to my -- adriana : a proper abuelo does n't get his granddaughter kidnapped . eduardo : okay . the people who i used to work for tried to force me back into that life , and i refused . they used you and the baby to try to get me to change my mind . i 'm so sorry and i was foolish to hope for forgiveness after the things i 've done . it would be easier for everyone if i were to just leave home again . adriana : salem has never been your home . eduardo : well , i just do n't know where else to call home . so if i may , what have you been doing ? adriana : being a mother and a father . and i was working as a nurse in a clinic . eduardo : well , you 've clearly done a wonderful job being a mother and a father . as i look at my children , they 're all so strong and beautiful . i owe you a debt of gratitude . adriana : i do n't want your gratitude . i do n't want anything to do with you . and why your children are still dealing with you is beyond me . rafe : mami . eduardo : what your mother said was -- was the truth . you know , and i would n't blame either one of you if you wanted nothing to do with me from here on out . i mean , that 's -- dario . dario 's made it clear that 's how he feels . gabi : dario is a hothead . eduardo : yeah , but he 's right . i did something that put all of your lives in danger . it 's pretty much unforgivable . gabi : i just feel , um , confused right now . eduardo : yeah , i can understand that . gabi : you know , when i saw everybody together here -- i know we were all mad at each other , but i do n't know . it made me realize that i 'd love to have my family back . eduardo : well ... you have n't said very much , rafe . rafe : try not to open my mouth till i know what i want to say . i need time . maggie : last night , after you had gone to sleep , something happened . [ knocking at door ] maggie : yes ? brady : i 'm sorry . i thought you were alone . victor : obviously . so why did you lower yourself so much to come to my house ? maggie : i asked him to come over . victor : oh , should have known it was something like that . maggie : please . stay , victor . i might as well tell the both of you at the same time . brady , i 'm sorry that i ran out on you and summer last night . obviously , your news came as quite a shock to me . brady : summer had made up her mind that she wanted to tell you ... before she lost her nerve . and i should have considered how it would affect you . victor : what ? what are you two talking about ? maggie : victor , remember i told you that brady brought summer back to salem because he found out that she was a friend of daniel 's ? well , it turns out that she 's more than that . victor : what , she 's claiming to be an old girlfriend ? maggie : no . his sister . she says she 's my daughter . victor : what ? how could she be your daughter ? maggie : i was very young and i got pregnant , and , um , they gave -- they gave me something called `` twilight sleep `` during the birth . i do n't remember anything at all , and when i came to , they told me that the baby was stillborn . brady : what ? victor : you never told me about this . maggie : victor , i never told anyone . i was very young . it was so awful , i just -- i guess i just -- i pushed that memory down and i just went on with my life . brady : maggie , all this time you did n't know your child was alive ? maggie : no . victor : how did you find this woman ? brady : let me preface this by saying that you 're not going to believe it , but after the transplant ... i started seeing this woman in my dreams . and one of the dreams i had was in malibu , california , specifically , and i knew daniel had lived there . it was like he was communicating with me . victor : you ca n't be serious . brady : i went to fynn , 'cause i knew that he had lived with daniel in california . they shared an apartment together , and fynn told me that daniel had befriended a woman named summer townsend . that 's how i tracked her down . victor : and by golly , it turns out she 's the daughter of a woman who 's married to a wealthy man . what a coincidence . brady : it meant enough to daniel to have a dna test done . and we lost him before he could share the results with all of us , but i found the results . it 's not a con . summer is maggie 's daughter . victor : well , i do n't like this . she may be your biological daughter . it does n't mean she 's not after something . hope : hey . rafe : hey . hope : how come you 're working in here ? rafe : well , i could n't concentrate in the squad room , but turns out it was n't the noise , it was me . hope : marlena told me the great news . you and steve got john out . that 's great . rafe : yeah , how about that ? yeah . hope : thank god you 're all right . rafe : well , thank you , yeah . hope : you want to talk about it ? rafe : what ? no . i 'm good . how 's ciara ? hope : i found her at her birthday party totally wasted . rafe : that does n't sound like her . hope : what chase did to her , it 's killing her , rafe . the only hopeful sign is i think i finally convinced her to start therapy with marlena . rafe : well , that 's good . it 's got to be really hard for you to watch her go through this . hope : i know i 've said this before , but ... what really gets to me is i could n't see that chase was going off the rails . i left my daughter alone in the house with a potential rapist . i should have sensed it . i should have sensed that something was off -- rafe : hope . you 're a great mother . you invited chase into your home , into your life . that was a loving and generous thing to do , and what he did , no one could 've predicted that . and you blaming yourself and taking responsibility for that , that 's not -- that 's not right . it 's not right for you and certainly not helpful to ciara . hope : you 're right about that . you always seem to say something that helps me . i do n't know what i 'd do without your friendship . rafe : well , you do n't have to worry about that , 'cause i 'm always gon na be here . you know that , right ? you know that ? hope : okay , i do . rafe : okay , good . you should . adriana : oh . rafe : mmm ! adriana : oh , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to -- rafe : no , no , no , no , no . this is my friend , hope brady . hope , i want to introduce you to none other than my mother , adriana hernandez . brady : all summer wants is a chance to know her birth mother . she 's on the level about that . victor : says the man who 's living with theresa donovan . maggie : you 're not helping , victor . victor : i 'm sorry , maggie . that 's all i really want to do . ca n't believe you 've lived with this pain for so long . maggie : i grieved for my baby , and then i just -- i had no choice but to go on . but when summer told me that she was that baby ... all that shame and ... guilt , it just came flooding back , and after the way i behaved last night , i could n't imagine what summer must be feeling . i mean , i ran out of the room without even talking to her . i abandoned her again ! and that 's why i called you , brady , to find out how she is . brady : maggie , she 's -- she 's shocked . she 's scared . she had no idea that you were told that your baby had died . maggie : i have no idea why that happened . victor : who 's the father ? maggie : a boy , um , who worked on the farm . please , no more questions . not now . victor : i ca n't tell you what to do , maggie . this is your life . but please be careful . you know i have a hard time reconciling the fact that the woman just popped up out of the blue . if daniel had suspected something like this , he would 've told one of us at least . brady : then how do you explain the dna test ? victor : as somebody who 's already found out that he had a son he did n't know about , i can tell you , it 's filled with emotional complications . and now you 're confronted with this woman after you 've been grieving for daniel ? i mean , it 's -- with no warning ? maggie : what i need right now is your support , not your suspicion . i need to go lie down . i have n't been feeling very well this morning . oh . ooh . brady : maggie , what 's wrong ? victor : maggie , you all right ? what is it ? hope : mrs. hernandez , it is so wonderful to finally meet you . i 've heard so many fantastic things about you from rafe and gabi . adriana : thank you . hope : i 'm sure you two have a lot to catch up on . i ... i will go . again , it was very nice to meet you . rafe : i 'll talk to you later . hope : yeah , we 'll ... rafe : i hope you know you just froze out my partner and friend . adriana : i was perfectly polite . and i 'm afraid that impressing your friends from work is not that important to me today . rafe : oh , yeah , you made that perfectly clear . adriana : i have decided that i want to stay here in salem with my family . rafe : well , that 's great . adriana : but i 'm worried that gabriella seems to want to forgive her father , and that you 're not dead set against it . what do i have to do to convince you that eduardo can never be part of our family again ? maggie : i 'm okay , but i think i 'm getting your cold . victor : did you remember to take your meds ? maggie : oh . no , no , i was -- i was gon na take them with my tea . [ sighs ] goodness gracious me . thank you . brady : you 're welcome . maggie : okay . thank you . victor : come on , i 'll walk you back to the bedroom . maggie : honey , um ... i think i 'd like to go out for a while . victor : you said you wanted to lie down . maggie : i 'm feeling better now . i just -- i want to get -- i want to get out of here and get some air . victor : now do n't you drive yourself anywhere . maggie : oh , no . thanks . victor : so , springing this woman on her with no warning ? how did you suppose that was gon na work out ? brady : i was trying to do the right thing . daniel would 've wanted it . victor : oh , and of course he speaks to you from the other side . behold the oracle of salem . brady : granddad , why do you think everybody is just working an angle ? victor : because i do , and i 'm usually right . brady : well , i choose to believe that people are out there just doing the best they can . i 'm hoping that belief of mine will keep me from turning into you . summer : i should call brady , tell him i 'm taking off . why ? julie : you have a baby you never told me about ? maggie : julie , it was too hard to think about it , much less talk about it . so i buried it . then i met mickey and my whole life changed . julie : and now this girl is in salem ? well , what are you gon na do ? maggie : i do n't know . julie : has she tried to find her father as well ? maggie : i do n't think that she could , 'cause he had already left -- left my life by the time i found out i was pregnant . julie : what was he like , maggie ? maggie : handsome . funny . very sweet . at least , that 's what i thought . i was a young girl with a disability . i did n't know very much about boys . so when he started paying attention to me , i felt like my dreams had come true . and then ... when he got what he wanted , he forgot all about me . julie : you never told him you were pregnant ? maggie : i did n't know where he was . his family had moved . julie : why on earth did they tell you your baby had died ? maggie : i ca n't figure that out . but when brady and summer showed up at the house with the dna test results with them , i -- julie : you must 've been shocked , to say the least . maggie : yes , yes , i was , and i still am . i have a daughter i did n't know about . and the person who brought us together ... is daniel . julie : so in a way , daniel is still being your loving son . maggie : mm - hmm . if only he could be here now . he 's given me this gift ... and it 's one that comes with so much pain , i do n't know how to accept it . rafe : my father may have come back to beg for forgiveness , but he also came back to attend the funeral of a daughter he had with another woman . adriana : what ? rafe : yeah . she was 19 . and , uh ... she was murdered . adriana : and yet you can stay with this man in the same room ? rafe : i did n't want to . for a long time , i did n't want to have anything to do with him , especially when he was trying to worm his way back into gabi 's life after she got out of prison , but ... he 's persistent . and i saw him grieving sincerely over the loss of his daughter that was killed . adriana : so he drew you in . rafe : a little ... when i found out what he really did for a living . adriana : that dangerous work he was talking about ? rafe : that dangerous work . he makes it sound like he worked for the bomb squad or something . he was a hit man . adriana : excuse me ? rafe : he was a cold - blooded killer for hire . adriana : you know this for sure ? rafe : yeah , i do . adriana : can not be true . why is he not in prison ? rafe : he was never arrested . adriana : does gabriella know this ? rafe : yeah . i told her . adriana : and yet she encourages this man to stay in salem ? rafe : well , he says he 's leaving town . adriana : we have to make sure that he does . do n't let him convince you that he 's a changed man . eduardo will never change . eduardo : i just , uh ... i just called you in here because i want to find out how long it 'll be till i can get the hell out of here . nurse : mr. hernandez , you had a serious gunshot wound . your recovery 's going to take some time . eduardo : yeah , i know , i just -- how much time , exactly ? nurse : you 'll have to discuss that with your doctor . eduardo : yeah , of course . yeah , okay , thanks . nicole : dario ? dario : oh . hi . nicole : you look like you could use a friend . dario : i could . you look like you could use one too . maggie : what happened to me is n't this girl 's fault . she wants a relationship with me , so should n't i be open to it ? julie : maggie , please . take the time to absorb the news . and before you make a decision one way or another , think this through . maggie : but if i take all this time , what will that do to her ? julie : she 's not a little girl . she 's a grown woman . seems to me she 's survived just fine up to now . maggie : actually , she has n't . julie : what ? what do you mean ? maggie : brady told me that she has some serious emotional problems . just recently she tried to kill herself . julie : oh , my god . well , that 's terrible , of course . not your fault . you did n't even know she existed , darling . maggie : but i do now . and if i turn my back on her now , because it 's -- what , it 's too difficult to face that she exists ? is n't that pretty heartless ? julie : you could never do anything heartless . maggie , you have the biggest heart of anybody i think i 've ever met . so listen to your heart . it will never lead you astray . real cheese people , theresa : we 're getting married , your daddy and i , and we are going to be the happiest family ever . you know why ? 'cause we have him , and your daddy is the most incredible guy on the whole planet . brady : you 're not so bad yourself . theresa : hey . when did you get home ? brady : just now , just now . i 've been busy planning a little get - together at belle 's club with the entire family . you ready to make this announcement or what ? theresa : i do n't know . i mean , your dad 's gon na be there , and your grandfather , right ? brady : right , they 're all gon na be there , but the purpose of the evening is not to get their permission , it 's not to get their opinions , it 's just to let them all know what is going to happen , okay ? baby , you 're gon na win them all over , just like you did me . and they are gon na end up loving you . theresa : okay . brady : just as much as i do . victor : i need a background check on a woman named summer townsend . last known address , malibu . everything . tax returns , report cards , credit history , and if she 's got a rap sheet , i want to know every word that 's on it . [ knocking on door ] summer : mrs. kiriakis . maggie : hi . i 'm sorry about running out on you last night , and it 's , um -- it 's obvious you and i need to talk . dario : we were supposed to get together for a drink last night , but you never texted me . nicole : i 'm sorry . no excuses , i totally forgot . dario : what about now ? nicole : it 's a little early for a drink , is n't it ? dario : coffee . whatever you want . i 'm just sick of being alone . nicole : are you okay ? dario : i will be if you let me buy you that cup of coffee . eduardo : [ grunting ] [ grunting ] time to hit the road , eddie . hope : hey . rafe : hi . hope : hi . rafe : i am so sorry for the way my mom acted . that was not about you . it was n't , i swear . hope : fine , do n't worry about it . seems like all of a sudden you 're overrun by family . full house . rafe : `` overrun `` 's a good word , yeah . but at least they 're all here . they 're safe , and they 're in one place . hope : right . rafe : that 's good . hope : yep .

[ suspenseful music ] xander : you caught me . while you were at the hospital last night with mickey , i finally finished putting it together . it just would n't do for the princess to come home without a proper place to sleep , would it ?

sarah : i spoke with mickey 's doctors . and they said that she is well enough to come home today . lab technician : we should be finished running the samples within the hour . nicole : and that will prove one way or the other if the dna matches , right ?

maggie : sonny , i do n't have the words to express my deepest sadness and my terrible guilt at having caused the death of your wonderful mother . sonny : well , maggie , you know , in the beginning , i did blame you for the accident because i needed to blame someone because it was less painful for me to be angry than to deal with the grief that i eventually did . and i know that you loved my mom and she loved you . and if she was here right now , she would want you to be forgiven . maggie : that 's kind of you to say . and i agree that adrienne would have -- she would have found it in that big kind heart of hers to forgive me . and her big heart is the reason she was so determined to help my daughter that night , driving her to the hospital when she went into labor . sarah said that your mom was badly injured in the crash , but she was so brave . she was concerned about sarah more than herself . and because of that , my granddaughter came safely into this world . sarah : you know , not too long ago , it just -- i do n't know , it felt like my whole life was crumbling around me . and now ... now everything is perfect . mickey is gon na be okay . and we 're engaged . and we can just finally start planning our lives together . xander : nicole 's been suspicious ever since i insisted tate get tested to save mickey . victor : i warned you at the time that it was dangerous , but did you listen ?

what 's wrong ? xander : nothing . actually , you said it . everything is perfect . sarah : yeah , but that look that you just had on your face . xander , i know you . i can sense when something 's off , so just tell me what 's wrong . nicole : i just came from a doctor 's appointment . you know , routine checkup , nothing for you to worry about . and i 'm just waiting here for the results of my bloodwork . what ? what 's so funny ? why are you looking at me like that ? eric : i just had a thought . nicole : what ? what thought ? eric : are you -- are you pregnant ? ciara : you okay ? ben : yeah . just taking it all in . ciara : what ? ben : this . what do you mean what ? this , all this . ciara , when i first went to prison , this is all i dreamed about , just walking through the square , my beautiful ciara by my side , being free to do whatever i want , come and go as i please , go wherever i want when i want . ciara : and that is not a dream anymore . ben : mm - mm . definitely not . ciara : no . so now that you are free to do whatever you want , whenever you want , what would you like to do first ? hope : kayla ? why is it you do n't want to talk about you and steve ? kayla : uh ... hope : is it because you 're protecting yourself ? are you afraid ? is that it ? are you afraid that when he 's found , you wo n't be able to get the real steve back ? kayla : no . no , that 's not it . listen , right now , all i care about is him coming out of this safely and with no ill effects just like you . but when that happens , god willing , steve and i are n't gon na be together . hope : why not ? kayla : because i 'm with someone else . sonny : maggie , i respect you so much for the good person that you are . and i can see that you 're in pain , but you must n't forget that people love you , and they need you . maggie : you 're so sweet to worry about me , but i 'm -- i 'm fine . but i want a promise from the both of you , all right ? will : yeah , anything . maggie : i want you both to promise that you wo n't waste one single minute worrying about me , all right ? every single precious moment that you have together , i want you to cherish it , i want you to spend it loving each other and making up for all the time that you lost . will : i -- i think we can do that , right ? sonny : definitely . maggie : justin , i 'm glad you 're here . justin : i was over at the courthouse and another lawyer told me that you changed your plea to guilty , that you 're planning to surrender to the authorities . maggie : yes . it 's the only thing that i can do to try to -- not to make things right . nothing will ever make things right , not with adrienne gone . but i guess i should say that it 's the only way that i can go on . justin : maggie , i know how profoundly sorry you are and how much you cared about adrienne and how devastating her loss has been to you . and that is more than enough punishment . nothing that happens , nothing that any of us do now , will bring her back . and adrienne would want us to go on living and loving and finding joy wherever we can and being good to each other . you know that 's what she would want , do n't you ? [ melancholy music ] nicole : why would you ask me that ? eric : well , yesterday , you mentioned that you were late , and i know you thought it was because of the stress of working with kristen , but still , i -- nicole : i 'm not -- i 'm not pregnant . eric : well , hey , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to be insensitive . nicole : no , no , it 's all right . you were hopeful , and there 's nothing wrong with that . i sometimes am too , even though i know the odds are against me that i would ever have another baby . but what 's important now is our precious little holly . eric : and our mickey too . i talked to the doctors earlier , and they said she can come home today . sarah : no , never mind . i know what it is , why you 're on edge . you 've been worrying about mickey and worrying about me and constantly having to comfort me or talk me off of a ledge . and i know it had to be hard on you to have to ask eric for permission to see our daughter . xander : well , there were a lot of people that would have been more than happy to see me disappear from your life and mickey 's . sarah : well , that 's their problem , is n't it ? xander , these past few months , you have done so much for mickey and me . and in my whole lifetime , i have never -- i 've never had a man treat me the way that you do . xander : that 's 'cause no man has ever loved you this much . sarah : how do you know that ? xander : just a -- a gut feeling . sarah : oh , yeah ? and for me , it 's more than a gut feeling , 'cause i happen to know it 's true . so now you have to tell me what i can do to make you feel better . xander : i do have one idea . sarah : hmm ? nicole : mickey gets to come home ? that 's wonderful ! oh ! eric : it 's the best ever . nicole : yeah . lab technician : your results . eric : hey . are n't you gon na open it ? sarah : you know , the better i get to know you , in every way , the more i begin to wonder . xander : what do you wonder ? sarah : how i did n't see , early on , that you and i kind of made for each other . xander : i used to wonder about that too . i 'm so glad you finally came to your senses . sarah : now , there is nothing that you or anyone else could say that would ever make me change my mind . xander : is that a promise ? sarah : cross my heart .

[ melancholy music ] justin : take care , maggie . maggie : you too . sonny : this is n't goodbye . we 're gon na come visit you all the time . will : if you need anything , just let us know . justin : all you have to do is ask . maggie : you 're so good and kind . i could n't ask for anything more . sarah : mom , what 's going on ? nicole : i 'll -- i 'll just open it later . you know , like , i told you , it 's just some bloodwork . really , it 's no big deal . eric : okay , if it 's not a big deal , then why do n't you just open it ? nicole , are you not telling me something ? xander : it 's seems like mickey might be finally out of the woods with her cancer . have n't eric and sarah been through enough ? nicole : i would never want to hurt them . xander : that 's exactly what you 'll do by repeating this insane baby - switching theory , upsetting them for no reason . is that what you want ? nicole : no , of course not . xander : the last time you opened your big mouth , you almost ruined both of our happily ever afters . so trust me when i tell you mackenzie 's sarah and eric 's and drop this . eric : nicole , please . you 're obviously worried about these results . and i know you do n't want to burden me . after everything that mickey has gone through , if there 's one thing that i 've learned with her illness is that ... we can work through it . you know , secrets only make things worse . so if there 's something you want to tell me , just tell me and we can get through this together . i promise . okay . nicole : eric , no . i 'm not sick . eric : you 're not ? nicole : i swear to you , on holly 's life , it 's the truth . i 'm fine . and if i were n't , i would -- i would tell you . eric : okay . that 's a relief . nicole : i love you . eric : i love you too . listen , i hope you do n't mind , but i kind of got to get back in there . nicole : yeah , of course . give mickey a kiss for me . eric : i will . nicole : give me a kiss .

[ both chuckle ] sami : kate , while you were skulking around the town square , have you happened to catch a look at rafe or jordan ? kate : no , actually not . although i can only imagine they 're out in the field somewhere prancing around , throwing flowers in the air . sami : actually , based on what i saw , i highly doubt that . kate : what ? what ? what do you mean ? what happened ? ben : this is not good . jordan : do n't worry . ben : you do n't walk away from me , okay ? jordan : stop ! stop ! rafe : hey ! get your hands off her ! jordan : [ gasps ] rafe ! no ! guys , stop it ! ej : that 's irrelevant . gabi : what is ? ej : my opinion of nick . gabi : well , it 's relevant to me , ej . ej : i think that nick is a ... highly intelligent young man ... who has had a very difficult life . and as somebody who has also experienced a brush with death , i can tell you that it is a tremendously traumatic experience that weighs heavily on your mind for some time . gabi : but what does that have to do with nick changing ? ej : i think that nick 's encounter with death has given him a new perspective , a certain clarity . gabi : sorry , i still do n't understand . ej : when i spoke to nick earlier , it became increasingly clear to me that he has some kind of agenda . gabi : agenda ? you mean , like , he plans to make amends for some of the stuff he 's done ? ej : well , i would like to believe that , but this is nick we 're talking about . gabi : oh , i see . so , because it 's nick , no one 's ever gon na believe that he has a good heart or that he 's really trying to turn his life around . no one in this town will ever give him the benefit of the doubt . ej : it 's not as if he 's earned it . gabi : yet . look , i get what you 're saying . i do n't agree with it , but i get it . you 're worried because nick has something over me , kate , and sami . i get it . ej : something he can use at any point . gabi : no , he 's not going to suddenly turn on anyone , okay ? i really believe that he 's ... that he 's changed , and ... i really believe that if -- ej : go on . gabi : i really believe that if nick and i get back together again , for real , that he would never want to hurt anyone again -- me , kate , or sami , or anybody that i care about . ej : are you saying that ... you 're sacrificing yourself to neutralize nick ? marlena : you want me to marry you ? are you serious ? will : very . marlena : oh , honey , i 'm so touched . but i -- i 'm just not -- will : grandma , my writing professor , he 's always encouraging us to think of our lives as a story . now when i do that , i know that you would be such an important character in the chapter that dealt with my coming out . you helped me through such a tough time . and you made me realize that being gay , it 's not an option or a choice . it 's who i am . and you assured me that i would find true love and happiness , and i have . but i could not have done it without you . sonny : he 's right . you 've been there from day one . will : which is why we want you to be the one to marry us . marlena : oh , i am so honored . but i have to say no . abigail : t , why do n't you wan na come with me to see gabi ? what 's -- nick : i think it 's really sweet that you 're going out with t. i mean , he 's a good friend . and i know you feel sorry for him . tad : i just realized i ca n't leave work . abigail : what ? you just said that -- tad : i know , i just -- the new guy ben took a break and has n't come back yet , so ... jordan : ben , stop it ! you guys , stop ! [ scoffs ] god ! rafe : you 're the new guy at tbd . ben : yeah ? and ? rafe : yeah , and what are you doing putting your hands on her ? jordan : rafe , just drop it , please . it 's not what you think . it 's okay . rafe : it 's okay ? jordan : please just forget it . rafe : well , how can -- how do you know this guy , jordan ? ben : oh , yeah . come on , jordan . why do n't you tell him ? tell him exactly how you know me . gabi : [ sighs ] i do n't feel like it is a sacrifice , ej . i mean , what happened with nick that night at the river ... that man is not the same man who survived what we did to him . i mean , he has just been so genuine and attentive and ... it 's just been so different this time around . i mean , he is the man i fell in love with way back when , and that has to count for something . does n't it ? ej : maybe you 're right . just , um ... just do me a favor and be careful . do not rush into this . gabi : thank you for being so worried about me . ej : come here . take care , all right ? kate : tell me what happened between jordan and rafe . sami : [ groans ] kate , i probably should n't have said anything . kate : well , you already did , so just tell me . sami : okay . god . i saw jordan and some guy in a heated conversation . kate : when ? sami : just now , at club tbd , and ... you know , looked intense . so i ... followed them . kate : you followed them ? sami : yeah , and then i ran into rafe here . kate : so did you tell him ? sami : of course i did . kate : how did he react ? sami : well , he ... went after them . kate : wow . oh , my god . did it look like there was something going on between this guy and jordan ? i mean , you know , maybe something in the past ... or the present ? sami : kate roberts , you are as transparent as glass . kate : what ? oh , c -- really ? just answer the question . sami : yes , they clearly knew each other . kate : hmm . i wonder if he was an ex - patient of hers . sami : somehow i doubt that . kate : really ? maybe he 's the reason she was leaving salem , and they were fighting because she had decided to stay . sami : wait . whoa . what ? kate : oh , you did n't kn -- she apparently -- apparently she was dead set on leaving salem . she had broken things off with rafe , okay , and she 's about to leave . and all of a sudden , she says she 's staying . sami : that seems very ... sudden , does n't it ? kate : yeah , you think ? i do n't know though . maybe because all of this has happened i wo n't have to go to as much trouble . sami : meaning ? what are you planning ? rafe : you need to stop talking . ben : no , you need to listen , 'cause i 've known her a whole lot longer than you have . rafe : oh , really ? jordan : oh , my god , ben , you 're just making this worse . rafe : you wan na tell me why this guy had his hands all over you and now you 're asking me to pretend like it did n't happen ? ben : i did not have my hands all over her , come on ! jordan : okay , okay , rafe , you do n't understand what 's going on here . rafe : you 're right . so why do n't you tell me ? ben : well ? go ahead , fill him in . jordan : can we go somewhere and talk about this , please ? rafe : no ! we can not go somewhere . i wan na know what the hell is going on . and who is this guy ? jordan : he 's my brother . ej : abigail , wait , please . will : you do n't wan na marry us ? marlena : will , no , i 'm honored . but you wan na be married by somebody who can marry you legally . you need a justice of the peace , you need a minister . will : grandma -- marlena : listen to me . have you thought about the rector over at st. georges episcopal ? i understand that he does same - sex marriages . sonny : we -- we talked about mr. smith actually . will : we did . marlena : oh , okay . will : but we decided it does n't make sense for someone who does n't know us or love us or who has n't been a part of our relationship since we 've been together to be the one to do it . but you ... well , you fit the bill perfectly . marlena : thank you . i understand that . but the thing is i 'm not authorized to marry you . sonny : oh , but you will be . and in plenty of time for our wedding . your eyes really are unique . marlena : all righty . what is this ? will : sonny is amazing . he found this website where -- sonny : i am amazing . i know how to find online ministers . marlena : so all i have to do is become a minister , hmm ? sonny : it 's a certification , it 's not like a ministry thing , really . you just pay $ 58 , and you sign some paperwork , and it 's legal . marlena : yeah . so you 're sure that you wan na have a civil ceremony , hmm ? will : i think so . plus , that means that we get to have you . not that we 're strong - arming you or anything . sonny : we 're totally strong - arming you . marlena : i understand , yes . will : [ laughs ] it was just you 're the one person that can make this have so much more meaning for us than if some random person did it . sonny : so ? will : will you do it ? abigail : what do you want ? ej : not even a `` hello `` ? abigail : hello . ej : abigail , i thought that we had -- abigail : dodged a bullet ? we did . we did dodge a bullet . my not being pregnant was really lucky for all of us . you know , ej , i 've had some time now to think about this , to think about what happened between us and about how it all unfolded , and , you know , i realized something . i realized that i need to move on , and i need to stay as far away from you as possible . and please do not be mistaken . this is not because i still want you . it 's because i do n't . i realize now who you are , because you are not the good and decent man that you led me to believe that you are . not even close , ej . because if you were either of those things , if you were good or decent , you would 've had some restraint and you would 've left me the hell alone . you are exactly what everybody says you are . sami : kate , is it possible that you still have feelings for rafe ? kate : oh , my god ! are you serious ? no ! rafe and i are friends , that 's all he is to me now . i just do n't wan na see him hurt , that 's all . sami : really ? kate : yeah . sami : by jordan ? my sources tell me -- my sources are you usually right -- that jordan is the sole reason he is walking again and now back at work . jordan is his recovery . and on a personal note , they seem to be crazy about each other . kate : okay , okay . but really , what do any of us really know about jordan ? i mean , she came here from birmingham , she 's played miracle worker at that hospital . sami : [ scoffs ] kate : she 's gotten him better , she got him to fall for her . but still , i mean , it could all just be a cover for not really having to reveal who she is and why she 's here . sami : okay , you 're right . and ... i definitely thought that myself . but if they do care about each other , she 's gon na open herself up to him eventually , right ? kate : i 'm not sure about that . in fact , i highly doubt it . and he is in such a vulnerable place right now . sami : look , kate , i just have to say this . kate : what ? sami : even if rafe broke up with jordan , i do n't think that means he would get back together with you . kate : oh , my god ! i just said -- sami : that you are just friends and that you do n't still have residual feelings of ... lust or whatever . kate : really ? like you ? sami : excuse me ? kate : well , i do n't know . i do n't know , maybe that 's why you 're talking like this . because you still have feelings for him , you still want him ? sami : what are you even talking about ? i 'm with ej . we 're getting married . kate : oh , yeah , i know all about that . you and ej are getting married . but what if that just implodes ? maybe you could have , i do n't know , rafe as a backup . sami : a backup ? kate : mm - hmm . sami : are you serious ? you still think i am that shallow and conniving ? kate : just call it self - protective . sami : but i do n't have to protect myself . 'cause ej and i are walking down the aisle and we are going to get married . we have set a date ! kate : oh , really ? because you 've managed to screw that up before , sami . sami : okay , okay , now you are crossing a line . take it back . kate : no , because i 'm just speaking the truth . sami : no , you 're not . you 're being mean and you 're clearly just jealous . and i ca n't believe i said all those nice things about you . kate : [ scoffs ] really ? nice things ? sami : yes ! i was saying nice things . and you are just jealous of my happiness , admit it ! kate : whether you are happy or not is of no concern to me . sami : well , you 've made -- ej : whoa , whoa , ladies . what the hell is going on with you two , hmm ? kate : in one word ... `` rafe . `` sami : oh .

'cause i still have no idea . ben : it 's a private matter . jordan : rafe , please . it 's gon na be okay . rafe : okay . i 'll wait for you at the cafe . ben : you gon na tell him the truth ? jordan : no . no one can ever know the truth ! marlena : all right , so ... all i have to do is go online , eh ?

will : well , eric 's got lost in the mail , but we re - sent it and he should be getting it today . marlena : good . will : and it says he can have a plus - one , he should know that . sonny : right . especially since uncle vic is paying for everything . marlena : ha , you . oh ! would it be all right if i told roman about my official position in the wedding ? will : absolutely . sonny : yeah , we want everyone to know that you 're the one marrying us . gabi : sorry about that . ari was up all night teething . abigail : that 's okay . gabi : she 's down now . she 's asleep . abigail : great . now you can tell me what 's really going on . gabi : oh , about nick and i ? well ... we 're just friends . we have been getting close lately , but as friends he confides in me . abigail : hmm . you know , ej told me that you two were n't getting along so well before he left town , and -- oh , my god ! gabi ! you look beautiful ! are these new ? gabi : brand - new actually . abigail : oh , my god ! gabi : uh , nick was the one who suggested to sami and ej that they rehire me for countess w 's new campaign . it was so great , abigail . i mean , i - i just felt so great about myself and in so many different ways . abigail : all this happened because of nick ? seriously ? gabi , are you thinking about getting back together with him ? gabi : well , you know , a lot of people have been asking me that , and , um ... yeah , i mean , i have n't ruled it out . i spoke to ej about it . he actually made me promise that i just take things slowly . abigail : [ scoffs ] really ? did he ? well , do yourself a favor . whatever ej tells you to do , you should do the opposite . sami : okay ! i saw jordan ridgeway talking to some guy , okay ? i thought it was weird . i thought she was acting strange . she might 've been disloyal to rafe , so i thought he should know about it . ej : really ? since when is that your place ? sami : it 's my place because ... ej : hmm ? sami : i was concerned that a friend was being gullible or naive or whatever , and i just wanted to protect him . ej : being concerned for rafe seems to be one of the most important responsibilities in your life , do n't you think ? sami : ej , i hope that rafe and jordan are happy together , or whatever . i really do n't care , okay ? i just was concerned for my friend . but my concern for him as a friend has nothing to do with my feelings for you . rafe is my past . you , mr. dimera ... are my everything . forever and ever and ever . kate : thank you so much for meeting me on such short notice . marlena : what a nice surprise to hear from you . kate : our grandson 's getting married . i know . look , i 've been thinking , and i thought it might be really wonderful if we pool resources to get them something fabulous , meaningful . marlena : you mean like sort of a joint gift ? kate : well , yes , but also , you know , we can give our individual gifts . i did promise that i would pay for their honeymoon . and even though i know they ca n't go now , when they do , i am going to make it all first - class , absolutely . marlena : so lovely . so generous . kate : well , also , i 'm going to give my friend the governor a call to see if he 'll come over from the state house to marry them . marlena : oh , my . would n't that be special ?

i ca n't stop doing that . it 's not gon na happen . besides , i - i owe you . jordan : you do n't . ben : go find rafe . jordan : hey . ben : what ? jordan : uh , do n't tell anyone else about us , okay ? ben : are you that ashamed that i 'm your brother ? jordan : ben , come on . you know why . kate : i 'm just a little confused . i thought it would be the perfect touch to have jim ford , i mean the governor , marry them . marlena : it 's a lovely idea . but the thing is , is that i spoke to will and sonny a few minutes ago , and they 've already invited someone to perform the ceremony . kate : really ? marlena : mm - hmm . kate : oh ... oh , please do n't tell me it 's some fuddy - duddy justice of the peace who 's gon na bore the hell out of all of us . marlena : no , no , no , it 's not a justice of the peace . kate : a minister ?

gabi : of course . abigail , did something happen between you and ej ? abigail : after , uh ... everything that happened between you and nick -- you know , how he was n't so great to you when he was leaving town and everything ? gabi : which you heard from ej . abigail : right . well , he 's my cousin , and i was concerned , obviously . so i wanted to talk to hope and julie about it , you know , see what the rest of my family thought , but ej convinced me not to . gabi : yeah , but , i mean , it all worked out . nick 's back and we 're friends and it 's been great , you know ? abigail : right , yeah . i 'm happy about all of that . it 's just , you know , gabi , from my perspective , from what i 've seen and heard , ej has this way of making people do things that are n't necessarily in their best interests but might be in his . gabi : okay , well , i do n't think that 's what he 's trying to do . i mean , he just told me that i should make up my own mind about how i feel about nick . abigail : so you are thinking about getting back together with him then ? wow . how did all this happen ? [ footsteps approaching ] jordan : hey . i 'm so sorry about all that . rafe : yeah , well ... you said you 'd explain . maybe you should start by telling me why you lied about having a brother . jordan : ben and i had a falling out , a serious one , and so for a long time it felt like i did n't have a brother . rafe : okay . i can understand that . but you knew that he was in town . you knew that he was working at tbd . is ben -- is your brother the reason that you were going to leave town ? jordan : yes . jordan : you were the reason i decided i could n't leave salem . rafe : mm . jordan : but what happened with my brother , it 's personal , and ... rafe : i hope you know that you can tell me anything . jordan : i do , i do . just not right now , okay ? rafe : okay . jordan : oh , and you should know ... ben 's not leaving . rafe : hmm , all right . how do you feel about that ? jordan : well , i 'm going to have to find a way to coexist with him . rafe : yeah . jordan : i 'm really sorry that i did n't tell you about my brother . and i so appreciate you not pushing me about the details . i 'm also hoping that this thing between ben and i can kind of just stay between us for now . rafe : jordan , this is a lot to take in right now , all right ? jordan : yeah , i know , i know . but you also know how i feel about you and i just hope you can trust that and just think about keeping this quiet . i have to go . thank you . kate : oh ... you 're serious . marlena : mm - hmm . kate : well , i -- how 's that gon na work ? marlena : well , you know , one can be ordained online these days , which is quite lucky for me , i thought . and so i would have the authority to marry anybody i choose , including my precious grandson and his intended . kate : oh ! uh , well , that 's interesting . marlena : you 're upset . kate : upset ? mmm , no . i mean , just because my grandson adores his other grandmother so much that he 's asked her to perform the ceremony , i mean , that 's not upsetting . marlena : he 's always loved me more . you know that . [ laughs ] okay , but seriously , he adores you too . and i just -- i think we 're so lucky to be included in the celebration . you and your sweet , little way , and me in my big , open way . seriously , kate , come on . i am so proud of this day . i 'm so proud of them . kate : yes , i am too . marlena : good . okay , well , i 'm gon na dash . i will -- i will see you at the wedding , if not before . nick : look , will , i know that we 've been through the wringer together , all right ? and i know that we 're not exactly friends , but i just want to let you know that i think it 's amazing that you and sonny are able to get married and that you 're making this commitment to each other . i think it 's amazing . will : that 's what people do when they 're in love . nick : yeah ... i know . will : oh , you do ? you must mean because of gabi . nick : who else ? will : that marriage was a lie . nick : that 's -- that 's -- that 's not true . will : oh , we both know it is . nick : [ laughs ] you know , will , by the time that i put a ring on gabi 's finger , i knew her a hell of a lot better than you know sonny . sami : what ? ej : we should really be in the office taking care of business . sami : [ laughs ] oh , i do n't know . i think we just took care of some super important business . ej : mm - hmm . sami : and anyway , my meeting got canceled . ej : oh . sami : oh , hey , did you talk to gabi ? and ? ej : [ sighs ] i tried . i appealed to her to make sure that nick had changed before she made any decisions about getting back together with him . sami : did she hear you ? ej : she said she did . it 's her decision , it 's her life . sami : yeah , god help her if she gets back together with nick fallon . god help us all . gabi : i do n't want to talk about nick . abigail : okay , look , gabi , i get that you do n't want to talk about it . it 's just that obviously your feelings have changed since last time we talked and i -- gabi : yeah , well , it 's -- you know , maybe . [ door opens ] gabi : he 's been great to me . hey . sonny : hey . hey , abigail . abigail : oh , hey , sonny , hi . sonny : hey . gabi : i did n't know you were gon na be done so soon . sonny : yeah , i had more time than i realized , i guess . so i figured i would come home and see if you need help with the baby . gabi : well , she 's still down , so ... abigail : uh , we got the wedding invitations . they look so perfect . sonny : oh , that 's good . abigail : yeah , we 're all really excited . you know , my mom and i were talking about it -- this is gon na be our first gay wedding . sonny : first for a lot of people , i 'm guessing , yeah . gabi : hey , so , you 're gon na hate what i 'm about to say , but i just -- i feel like if i -- i just have to say it anyway . sonny : what ? gabi : well , do n't you think it 's kind of weird not to invite nick to your wedding ? | nick overheard ej warning gabi to stay away from him . rafe and ben got into a fight when rafe saw ben with jordan . gabi wanted to know if ej thought nick was capable of change . ej dodged the question . ej closed the door and danced around the question . jordan stopped rafe from attacking ben . ej wondered if gabi was sacrificing herself to keep nick at bay . sami told kate about jordan talking to ben . they had a conversation about jordan . sami wanted to know what kate was planning . jordan told rafe that ben is her brother . sami and kate ended up arguing over rafe . |

oh , yeah . i could probably do that . yeah , roman , he lent me the place , so i could have a ... private dinner with hope . kate : oh . sounds romantic . rafe : yeah , yeah , it was , till she took off with pepe laurent . stefan : my security team went through all the footage . they spotted two people . but unfortunately , there was n't a clear enough shot of either of their faces . hope : our lab may be able to isolate and enhance the images . stefan : i 'll have my team send the footage over to the station . it 's important we find these people as soon as possible , before anyone gets hurt . leo : well , is my dad here ? i really need to speak with him . brady : obviously , he 's not here , so , come on , why do n't -- why do n't you get lost ? my mother needs her rest , all right ? marlena : brady ... that 's okay , thanks . um , why were you looking for john ? leo : well , for starters , my brother here tried to screw me over ... brady : [ laughs ] to keep him from trying to screw me over , absolutely . leo : and now he 's trying to keep me from my father , because he does n't want me to be a part of this family . brady : i do n't want you hitting my father up for a handout , okay , especially when he needs to focus on her right now . leo : do you hear yourself ? `` my father . `` he 's our father , and you do n't get to decide when i can and can not see him . you wo n't keep me from seeing him , will you ? marlena : of course i wo n't , uh , but i 'm -- i 'm afraid he 's busy right now . john : hello , diana . were you looking for this ? diana : john , what are you doing here ? john : you know , i could ask you the same question , but i already know the answer . you were planning on tampering with evidence , and that would be this evidence , as a matter of fact . diana : john , you 've misunderstood . may i please explain ? john : no , you do n't need to , because i know the truth . i know that you were the one who tried to kill marlena . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] hope : as soon as we identify which members of el fideo 's cartel are threatening you ... ted : we 'll let you know . stefan : it 's strange . ted : what is ?

with what ? marlena : well , he 's trying to track down the woman that tried to kill me . brady : is there a lead on kristen ? marlena : i do n't know . brady : i 'm gon na look online , see if i can find out anything . leo : how long do you expect he 'll be gone ? marlena : i 'm not sure . why are you so impatient to find him ? leo : uh , well , i -- i do n't know if john told you , but ... since i got kicked out of the kiriakis mansion , i 've been staying at the salem inn , which , as you probably know , is n't cheap . i 'm running out of money , fast , and i need just a little bit to tide me over , just for a little while . brady : oh , god , there was a shooting at the dimera mansion . marlena : is everybody all right ? brady : i do n't know , i do n't know , but i have to check on chloe , okay ? marlena : of course , of course . let us know . brady : she is not an atm . leo : what are you doing ? marlena : well , i 'm writing you a check . do you think that $ 500 might be enough ? leo : that would be plenty . thank you . why would you do that for me ? marlena : because you 're john 's son . that makes you family . diana : i am shocked , john . i am truly shocked that you would accuse me of such a thing . i mean , where in the world would you even come up with this ? especially since that nurse , that -- that shelly said that kristen dimera had threatened her ... and she saw her with her own eyes . john : hm . so she claimed . but then you know what happened ? leo came to me , and even he was wondering if maybe you could be behind this . now , as much as i did n't want to believe it , your own son was pretty convincing that you could easily have ... done something like that . diana : my own son ? your own son ... as you well know , is an angry , vindictive young man , who would do anything to jump at the chance to hurt me . and you believed him ? you believed him , when he accused me of attempted murder ? john : when detective eli grant came to the hospital , i -- i -- i got him and marlena caught up to speed on my theory , and i asked him to lift some prints off the iv line . you know , he said he was n't sure he could get a clear image . but i said , you know what , it does n't really matter , because once you knew that the iv line was in police custody there , and you thought there was an outside chance that you would get caught , you would try to retrieve that evidence . diana : how would i even find it ? john : well , that was the easy part . all you had to do was overhear eli and lani talking . yeah , they knew you were gon na show up at the cop shop , so they made sure you knew where the evidence was . they set you up ... and you fell for it . diana : you have no proof . john : not here , no . maybe i should just have detective grant bring in nurse shelly . he 's been questioning her for the last hour , and boy , can he work somebody , and i 'm sure by now , she 's probably cracked . [ dramatic music ] diana : okay . fine . you 're right . i am the one who poisoned marlena . rafe : you ought to see this smarmy bastard . he 's always pawing all over her , trying to make her laugh with his corny jokes . kate : well , stop him already . rafe : stop him ? how am i supposed to stop him ? he 's the new da , you know that ? he and hope , they work together . kate : what ? rafe : mm - hmm . kate : who the hell would appoint him da ? rafe : thank you . kate : my god , with his shady past , how many skeletons do you think he has in his closet ? rafe : that 's a good idea . i just dig up some dirt on him , then i get him out of that job and out of my life for good . hope : thanks for the heads - up about the other set of footprints . ted : well , your daughter could have been hurt . besides , it 's very important to me to be hands - on with all my cases . stefan dimera is not the only one that questioned my authority . i need to prove myself . hope : right . of course . i understand . ted : so , i was hoping , maybe we could get a coffee , review the case ? hope : ted , stop . ted : stop what ? hope : this . this . playing games . pretending i 'm not a married woman . chloe : ugh , maybe i should have had the kids stay with maggie tonight . stefan : no , no , chloe , i have taken every precaution . i had ben double the number of guards around the estate . right now , there is no place more secure than right here . okay ? chloe : i suppose you 're right . stefan : you just need to get your mind on something else . play a game of chess ? chloe : uh , i do n't think i could concentrate . stefan : well , think of it this way , if you lose , you have a built - in excuse . chloe : [ chuckles ] i do n't think that my ego could handle that blow either right now . stefan : okay , all right . what else ? uh , what else ? i know . i 've heard that you have a beautiful soprano , so , what would you say to a private performance ? chloe : i 'd say that i do n't feel like singing right now , and i 'm not calm enough either . stefan : sure you are . and , hey , even if you 're not , do n't you think that thinking about anything else than what just happened will help calm you down ? all right , do n't make me beg , 'cause i 'll do it . i will get down on -- okay . this is me begging , please , please , come on , please . sing me a song , come on . please ? chloe : okay , no , no , okay . oh , gosh , please stand up . stefan : so , you 'll do it ? chloe : yeah , i will sing you one song , if you get up off your knees , yes . stefan : yeah ? all right . chloe : oh , okay .

bo : yeah . his personal effects will be handled with respect , and they 'll be returned to you as sn as your son 's murderer is convicted . yeah . we 're building a very strong case . the criminal who shot your son will never hurt anyone again . okay . all right , listen , if you need anything , you have any questions at all , you just give me a call . all right . bye , mr . wells . damn it . hope : hey . good morning , daddy . bo : hey . look who 's here . hope : yeah . give me a g.g . hope : zack was missing his daddy this morning . there you go . so we decided to come down here and ... surprise you . bo : aw ... you do n't know how much i needed this . hope : yeah . ben wells ' obituary was in the newspaper this morning . bo : yeah . i was just talking to his father . ben was the first one in his family to go to college . they were all very proud of him . we had the shooter in custody . he was here in this office , not two weeks ago . and for some reason , we were n't able to make the charges stick . so that scum , instead of being in jail , he was out on the streets with a loaded gun . hope : you could n't have prevented this . brady , you did everything you could . bo : no . i got to do more . victor : good morning . woman : mr. kiriakis . victor : i 'm looking for my grandson brady black . have you seen him ? woman : chloe lane 's room . maybe you can persuade him to have a catnap or at least something to eat . he has n't budged from chloe 's bedside all night long . brady : chloe , if i could go through this for you ... isabella : you would . because that 's what it means to love someone . like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . hope : you be a good boy , and do n't eat too many doughnuts with the officers , okay ? bo : thanks . i promised benells ' parents justice will be served . i gave 'em my word . hope : i 'm so proud of you . i love you , brady . i love you . and you e going to do the best that you can do , because that 's all you can do . bo : no , it 's not just this case . there 's something wrong with the system . hope : it 's not perfect . we all know that . but fairness is the ultimate goal . bo : that is what i 'm saying . it 's got to be at least as fair for the victims as it is for the criminals , and it 's not -- not here in salem , not lately . and i 'm not talking about abridging some scum 's rights . ben wells has rights , too , and he 's not here to fight for 'em , but i am . hope : yes , you are . bo : and it 's more than finding ben 's killer . this kind of thing has got to stop . how many more parents have to grieve their own children ? lately , i 'm wondering why i became a cop . hope : we 're lucky to have you , that 's for sure . all of us . bo : i got to get back to work . hope : okay . bo : i 'll walk you out . there 's something i got to take care of . hope : okay . brady : mom . mom , what are -- what are you doing here ? isabella : you want to help chloe because yololove her . i want to help you for the same reason . brady : i do n't know what to do . mom , last night , she was so sick . she said she did n't want me here . isabella : you know she did n't mean that . brady : yeah , i know . if i thought that , i would n't have come back . brady : i still have yours . you know , that beautiful venetian glassware ? well , i got this for chloe . isabella : butterflies can be so fragile . one touch to their wings , and you 've done irreparable damage . and , yet , at the same time , they have so much strength and stamina . have you ever seen a butterfly come out of its cocoon ? brady : no . have you ? isabella : once , when i was a little girl . victor came out to visit my mother . we did n't know then that he was my father . but he was very kind to me . one day i was -- i was in the garden , and i saw this butterfly emerging from its cocoon . it seemed like such a struggle . i wanted to help it . i thought if i just made the hole bigger ... and so i did . and the butterfly fell out , and it died . victor was the one who very gently explained to me that the only way the caterpillar can survive its metamorphosis isis to struggle out of that cocoon . that 's how the butterfly earns its wings and gets strong enough to fly for the first time . i know you want to help , brady , but there are just some things you can not do for chloe . belle : yeah , it seems she is alive , and in that case ... time to get up . mimi : look , i did try to warn you . cassie : i feel sick . belle : please , not again . cassie : water . i need water . cassie : aah ! aah ! mimi : you did ask for it . cassie : i feel like i 'm dying . mimi : you 're not . cassie : i need help . belle : what do you want me to do ? cassie : i want a doctor . belle : you do n't even like doctors , and you know what they 'd say ? that you need to tough it out . do you want to get blood drawn and then get a lectu ? @ ? cassie : i 'm already getting one . belle : you know what ? you 're right . you do need help . but not from me . shawn - d : rex , atat do you say we go get some breakfast and bring it back for the girls ? rex . rex : hmm ? shawn - d : what do you want to do ? rex : well , let 's see . i want to get the hell out of college where i 'm bored senseless , move on to bigger things , and i want to read the complete works of shakespeare . i mean , i 've read the rest -- shawn - d : all right , hold it , th - that 's great , i just wanted to know what you want to do for breakfast . rex : oh . sorry . shawn - d : no . no , no . do n't be , because that 's definitely a lot more interesting than deciding between home fries and hash browns . you 're seriously thinking about dropping out of college ? rex : not dropping out . i 'll hang around long enough to graduate , since everyone seems to think that 's so important . too bad i ca n't test out of labs and phys - ed , though . i could be done in a couple weeks . shawn - d : all right , so once you 've aced college , what are you going to do then , run out and find a job ? rex : no , not right away . but i need to get out into the world , experience life . book smart is one thing , but i 've begun to realize there 's a lot you ca n't learn from a book . yeah , i - i need to figure out people , how they 've evolved over the years -- behaviorally , that is -- how they 've come to be completely lacking in integrity -- saying one thing and doing another . shawn - d : not all people are like that . rex : please , look , i 've learned all about the importance of learning to love your fellow man , living selflessly , altruistically . you know , it all sounds great in theory , but how is it possible to love your fellow man if he pats you on the back with one hand and then stabs you in the back with the other ? shawn - d : well , i would say that 's a pretty negative view . rex : that 's because you 've been socialized to think that , do n't you see ? look , the more people who remain naive and trusting , the easier it is for the shrewd and ambitious people to get ahead . it 's the way of the world , shawn . if you do n't watch out for yourself , no one else will . shawn - d : it 's not true . rex : think about it . what do they teach every boy and girl in kindergarten ? the golden rule , right ? do unto others . but what adult ever follows it ? shawn - d : i know plenty of people , rex . rex : and you also know that most people do n't , which means the only reasonable strategy for conducting your life is not what your parents tried to tell you . instead , the golden rule should be , do unto others before they do unto you . shawn - d : is that what your father taught you ? 'cause it does n't sound like something you 'd say . sounds like tony dimera talking . belle : i 'll get you some medicin c cassie . you 're not going to like it , but it 'll be the best thing for you . mimi : a taste of her own medicine ? belle : do n't think i 'm not tempted . cassie : who are you calling ? belle : my -- i 'm calling mom . she 's a doctor , and , trust me , she 'll take care of you . rex : do you think my father is the reason i have a hard time trusting people ? well , he 's actually the only person who 's been consistently dependable andicice to us since we got here . look , nothing against you and belle , okay ? you 've been great . but when we first got here , you wanted us gone , right ? and now belle 's got all kinds of problems with cassie , and i understand why , but she 's the one that wanted cassie in her life . shawn - d : well , cassie sure has your `` do unto others `` rule down . rex : look , i 'm just saying it 's complicated figuring out who 's your friend and who 's not your friend or who 's just pretending to be . hope : hey , honey . shawn - d : hey , mom . hope : hey . hi , sweetie . oh , goodness . man : you ai n't got nothin ' on me ! hey , take your hands off me , man ! bo : get in here ! bo : i have n't seen you in a while , tommy . been keeping your nose clean ? tommy : for now . as long as nobody on the outside finds out that i answered your little invitation . bo : take it easy . you do your part , i 'll do mine . tommy : i 'll do my best . so what 's the score ? bo : right now it 's zip for the good guys . tommy : what do you mean ? bo : something 's happening . i want to know what it is . i want to know the word on the street . what the hell 's going down in salem ? isabella : i know how hard it is for you to sit there and not be able to help her , but she needs to do this on her own . this struggle is the thing that will make her strong enough to be what god intended her to be . victor : isabella ? brady : are you talking to mom ? victor : to isabella ? no , of course not . this reminds me so much of her . isabella : my mother 's pearls . she always wore these when i was little . i used to play with them . she said that one day they would ... be mine , and then she died and i never saw them again how did you find them ? victor : do n't worry about that now . just know that loretta would 've wanted you to have them , especially you on your wedding day . may i ? isabella : thank you . isabella : survival rate with this kind of cancer when it 's so advanced is very low . victor : but it can happen . isabella : one case in a million . i - i do n't want to have to tell you ... victor : well , you had to tell me so i can find a way to help you . isabella : see , i can deal with -- with the pain and , um , and i 'll deal with the dying when it has to come ... but i just -- i do n't know how i 'm suppo -- supposed to deal with brady . i mean , why did god give me this beautiful little baby boy , just to tear us apart ? i ca n't leave him , victor . i won't . victor : i do n't have an answer for you , isabella , but we 'll find one . we 'll find one . she felt very present to me when i walked into this room . isabella : he ca n't see me , brady . he ca n't hear me , either . brady : i - i know that m l loved butterflies . they make me think of her , too . anyway , what are you doing here ? are you okay ? victor : no . no , i 'm -- i 'm regretful for being harsh with you earlier . i came to apologize . brady : it 's fine . victor : no . no , it 's not . i put on a tough veneer every day . i mean , it 's how i 've survived in business all these years . and that 's fine at the office , but i ca n't let that carry over into my conversations with you . certainly not about chloe , and especially not now . how is she ? the nurse said that she had a rough night . brady : well , they have to basically destroy her entire immune system before they can replace it with the bone marrow from her baby sister . victor : is there anything i can do for either of you ? brady : thank you . if i think of anything , i 'll ... oh , who am i kidding ? i do n't even know what i can do . victor : well , you seem to be doing a great deal just by being here . brady : i 'm glad you came . victor : i 'm sorry . i - i 'm just so distracted . brady : what is it ? victor : well , you know , i think about your mother every day . talking about her with y just now ... it 's how we keep her alive in our hearts , and that 's the way it should be . brady : i can think of another reason why you feel so close to my mom right now . mimi : so your mom was n't at home or in the office . belle : she 's probably with a patient . mimi : why did n't you leave a message ? belle : i did n't want to make it a bigger deal than it already was . besides , we can take care of this later . cassie : no . no later . i need to feel better now . belle : cassie , you are not going to feel better now . the damage is already done . i can give you a few aspirin and maybe a bottle of water if you can keep it down this time , but the hangover has to kind of just go away . cassie : i had wine once before . all it did was make me happy , like the beer did last night , but i did n't feel like this the next day . mimi : see , this is your body 's way of telling you , `` do n't torture me this way again . `` and believe me , it could 've been aotot worse . belle : yeah , shawn 's old roommate almost died of alcohol poisoning . cassie : oh . okay , i 'm getting a lecture because you do n't want me to die . that 's just so sweet . you see , this whole time , i thought you were just bothering me because you did n't want the inconvenience of taking care of s sick roommate . belle : trust me , you do this again , i 'm not taking care of a sick roommate . cassie : explain this to me . if drinking is so unenjoyable , then why does everybody do it ? belle : everybody does n't do it . do you think you had fun last night ? do you even remember last night ? you were acting like a total jerk . mimi : even more than usual . people were laughing at you and pointing at you . cassie : well , that 's pretty usual , except now i do n't remember . that 's a plus . mimi : do you know what might 've happened with that chaz guy if your brother had n't been there to carry you home ? cassie : are you talking about sex ? shawn - d : mom . hope : yeah ? shawn - d : what 's wrong ? hope : zack and i missed you , that 's all . shawn - d : oh . hey . what 's up , buddy ? i missed you . hope : see your big brother ? rex : he got so big . shawn - d : yeah , well , they tend to do that . rex : hey , you remember me , zack ? i 'm rex . shawn - d : zack , remember him ? girl : oh , shawn , is that your little brother ? shawn - d : yeah . girl : he 's so cute . shawn - d : mom , i 'm suddenly so popular . hope : yeah , i 've noticed . girl : freshly baked cookies . do you mind if i give him one ? hope : no , not at all . it 'll be fine . say thank you , sweetie . thank you , sweetie . thank you . that 's very kind of you . rex : can we take him around and show him the dorm ? hope : sure , absolutely . be careful eating that , okay ? just keep an eye on him , all right ? rex : all right , definitely . hope : oh , honey , ooh ... shawn - d : all right , mom . what is it ? hope : nothing . nothing . really . i just , uh , youradad 's working on this case that kind of hit us both hard . a boy your age was killed the other night . i just felt like i needed to come here and ... tell you how much i love you , and that 's all . shawn - d : i love you , too , mom . hope : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to come here and make a spectacle of myself in the middle of your dorm . shawn - d : no , no . hope : actually , i expected to find you asleep . you look kind of tired . shawn - d : yeah , well , there was quite a bit of commotion around here last night . hope : parties ? shawn - d : yeah . do n't -- do n't worry . okay , i know the whole thing with the pills , you might not be trusting me or anything , but i promise -- hope : no , i trust you . i trust you . you 're my son . bo : so what 's happening out there ? tommy : folks not flying their colors so much these days . bo : why is that ? tommy : someone new holding down most of the hood . bo : someone swallowing up territory ? tommy : something like that . bo : who ? tommy : i do n't know . bo : got to know something . tommy : i do n't kn -- that 's the thing . nobody 's saying a word . bo : so someone 's powerful enough to make peace on the streets , but they 're not on the streets themselves ? tommy : right . but the word 's out that if you get down with him , he 'll hook you up . bo : what happens to the guy who does n't get down with him ? tommy : well , look out , because they be finding themselves with some crazy bad luck these days . bo : okay . you 're going to tell me who mr . big is . brady : i feel very close to mom right now , too , because of chloe . watching her this sick , thinking that mom had to fight this same battle . victor : she wanted so much to see you grow up . she would 've been so proud . you know , when she was here , she made me a better person , brady . isabella : victor , you had taken a better path for your life , but it 's hard sometimes when things happen not to fall back on the old ways . i 'd hate to see that happen for you , but i think i have more faith in you than you have in yourself . brady , could you help him understand what i 'm saying ? brady : do you know what mom would say if she were here right now ? victor : i wish i did . brady : well , you say that she is a part of me . so i think i can pretty safely know that she 'd tell you she loves you . ever since i 've been with chloe , i 've understood something -- something that i believe my mother would 've wanted to teach me and would 've wanted you to know -- and that is to let go of your bitterness , anger . hope : oh , my goodness , you have chocolate all over you ! did you have another cookie ? did you , sweetie ? oh , my goodness . this was a great way to start the day , was n't it ? i 'll tell you what . we 're going to get out of your hair so you can study . shawn - d : all right . hope : okay ? shawn - d : thanks for coming . hope : yeah , you have a good day , sweetie . shawn - d : i will . you too . hope : you take care . oh , and say hi to belle for me . shawn - d : all right . hope : say , `` bye , big brother . `` zack : bye . rex : we 'll see you later . shawn - d : yeah , if she ever comes downstairs . belle : yes , cassie , we 're talking about sex , and you do n't know anything about -- cassie : you know , i bet i know more than you do . b belle : okay , what i was going to say is you do n't know anything about this chaz guy . do you know how dangerous it is to get drunk and go home with some random guy ? ever heard of an std ? cassie : okay , look , this is making me feel so much better . but if i 'm supposed to just sleep this off , then just let me sleep . belle : fine . cassie : belle ? could you bring me some water , please ... to drink this time ? belle : here . take some aspirin . here . cassie : thanks . belle : we 're going to go to class . mimi : want us to wake you up when it 's time for biochem ? cassie : are you kidding me ? it 's a waste of my time . mimi : i guess we all ca n't be geniuses . cassie : guess not . belle : have a nice day . cassie : oh , i will . [ groans ] tommy : outta my face , man . i told you , i do n't know who this guy is , for real . bo : i heard you , but you 're going to find out , and then you 're going to tell me . tommy : all right , okay ? i 'll ask around , but this kind of intel is really down low . bo : that 's why i 'm talking to you . you 're more connected than the electric company . your words , right ? if you 're motivated , you 'll find out , and i 'm confident you will . let me make this clear . you are motivated . tommy : all right . okay . i 'll ask around . bo : good . now get the hell out of here . tommy : not until you give me what i need . belle : good morning . rex : is it ?

bo : all right . tommy : aah ! bo : just bring me that name . come on , get out of here . tommy : i told y t this was -- hey , you do n't touch me ! bo : get out of here ! tommy : you take your damn hands -- bo : get him out of here . tommy : i 'm gon na sue you ! bo : get him out of here now ! tommy : hey ! you do n't touch me , man ! you do n't touch me ! hope : what was that all about ? bo : ah , just a little work . hope : little work . bo : hey , partner . hope : washahat an informant ? bo : yeah . he says that , um , we have a mr . big on the streets of salem . he 's bringing peace and harmony to all our gangs . hope : and terror to all of us . that 's just great . bo : yeah . hope : any idea who it is ? bo : no . but i 'm gon na find out . hope : i know you will . bo : i 'm not telling anybody about this just yet . hope : got it . i understand . so what can i do ? bo : stay safe . take very good care of yourself . hope : i was a cop , brady . i 'm feeling better . i want to do something . bo : you 're not feeling like you 're doing anything ? come on -- you 're doing everything . you 're the most important person in the world to this little guy . and now that i 'm gon na be working night and day , he needs you . you got the most important job there is . victor : i need to let go of my anger ? why would you say that to me ? brady : i 'm -- i 'm not -- i 'm not judging you , you know , or anything . i 'm just referring back to what you said before about how you regretted treating me so harshly , and how mom brought out the best in you . if she were here today , i just think that 's what she would want ... for the both of us . victor : she was in italy when she died . that was her choice . i 'm glad that john honored it . we knew before she left , before she said goodbye ... it was the last time . i wish then , and i still do , that ... i could hear her voice just once more . brady : you can always talk to me . om on over to this is the last place on earth you 'd want to be these days . unless you 're patrick graham . one of the only western journalists still in baghdad . his reports seen only on `` global national `` with kevin newman . victor : i 'm sure it 's futile , but chloe 's nurse said to remind you to lie down and get some rest . brady : i will ... later . victor : take care of yourself . brady : you too . victor : so much of your mother is alive in you , brady . brady : and you as well . isabella : thank you , brady . chloe : [ groans ] brady : good morning , sleepyhead . chloe : is it morning ?

[ chuckles ] but you preferred madison . and now i prefer my husband . ian : even if he prefers marlena ? kate : that wo n't last long . i 'll fix that . ian : i want you to know , whenever you 're ready , i 'll be here waiting for you . kate : [ sighs ] [ breathes heavily ] [ scene_break ] sami : what do you mean , i 'm not alone ? oh . you mean because of the kids , right ? ej : right . sami : you know , i always have to find a way to tell them that everything 's gon na be all right , and i just do n't know how to rally to do it this time . ej : samantha , i 'm not going to let you or the children go under . sami : oh , good . oh , good , you 'll find a way to buy them off , just like you did will . that fancy apartment that he wo n't even let me go inside . ej : [ chuckles ] sami : you know , he 's barely talking to me . you know why i took that job with kate and why i stayed there ? because i was proud . because i was good at that job and i had a paycheck with my name on it , and i could support my kids . i could take care of my family . and i liked it . and now i do n't have that or rafe . ej : samantha , you and i will get through this . we 're strong . we overcome any obstacles that are put in front of us . you just keep being you , okay ? you 'll be fine . | at the brady pub , ej walked in and saw sami . he was there to check on the children . he noticed that something was wrong with her and they talked about kate and how she 's out to destroy sami . while they were talking , ej realized that sami was the mole at countess w. will and marlena talked about him being gay . marlena thought it was a good thing that he came to the decision by himself . she wanted to talk to him some more , but he had to go get some friends . john could n't believe that he agreed to work for stefano again . hope did n't understand why he needed someone called princess gina . john said if they wanted to keep bo and marlena alive , stefano called the shots . john said they had to do whatever it took to get home . he wanted there to be another way , but there was n't . hope did n't like the idea of stefano being in their heads . hope thought that stefano just wanted to control them and did n't care if they found the jewel . hope thought they were in a no win situation . sami told ej that it was madison 's idea to be the mole . ej thought she was out of her mind for going along with the idea . she thought it was a good idea at the time . since madison was her boss , she felt she had to go along with it . she told him how madison chickened out and then she quit . he told her that it was still espionage . she knew that and told him that kate threatened to press charges . she remembered that he is a lawyer and wanted his advice on what to do . he could n't help her without specifics . she needed the name of a good criminal lawyer and she would figure out a way to pay them . he said he knew someone who would waive the fee . she wanted to know the name . he told her he would help her . she wanted to know what was in it for him . she thought he might have been helping kate take her kids away from her . he said he would n't do that to them . she wanted to know if he was a changed man . he said if she were n't the mother of his children , he would care less where she went . for the kids ' sake , he 's going to help her before she makes things worse . she blamed him for why things were bad . she would still have rafe . she told him that she 's getting a divorce . |

cat got your tongue , anne ? anne : no , jennifer . i was just hesitating because i was trying to find a delicate way of telling you how pathetic you are . jennifer : oh , that 's funny because i come up here and find you trying to track down theresa to come up with a new way to make my life hell , and i 'm pathetic , okay . anne : let me remind you of something . you reported that someone posted snide comments about you on the hospital website . jennifer : they were not comments -- they were lies . anne : and do n't forget about that cute , little picture that got passed around , you know , showing you in a bikini . jennifer : yes , a doctored photo . anne : no kidding . honey , if your rack looked that good , you 'd be a much happier camper . jennifer : are you admitting that you and theresa did those things ?

eric : yes , yes , i am . i may not be a priest anymore , but god and the church 's teachings are an enormous part of my life , which means a marriage to nicole -- a marriage the church would recognize or even bless -- just wo n't be possible . sonny : i do n't wan na talk about theresa , okay ? and you know damn well why nick will never be invited to the wedding . gabi : [ sighs ] abigail : okay , sonny , come on . look , i know that you guys had your problems with nick , okay ? i get it , but come on , people change , sonny -- sonny : but nothing . no , you were there . you were at the christening . nick admitted to everyone that he manipulated gabi , set up that thing in new york for her so that she would leave and take ari with her . gabi : yes , and he also apologized , sonny , in front of everyone . sonny : oh , that 's so nice of him . what a nice guy . gabi : people change , okay ?

you 're gon na start with the threats again ? nick : it was n't a threat . it 's a fact . i 'm trying to show you that i 've changed . will : except that you have n't . nick : okay . okay . you know what , will ? all i 'm trying to say is i 'm happy for you . i 'm happy for you and sonny , and everybody i know is . and do you wan na know why ? because it 's an old - fashioned romance . will : excuse me ? nick : come on . nice kid with -- with a ton of baggage , still trying to play it like he 's straight , finally meets mr . perfect , who sweeps him off his feet , and they run off into the sunset together , live happily ever after . will : what does that even mean ?

[ sighs ] it 's not like eric and i just met . i was his first love . he was mine . we just -- i do n't know , we just put things off for a decade or so , but this is gon na happen . daniel : yeah , yeah , it just -- it just might , but can you take things slow ? remember , when you rush into things , sometimes people -- they just get hurt . nicole : wait a minute , are you -- are you talking about eric and me or you and me ? dad , why are you getting that ? is there a prize in there ? gabi : great , so abigail left because she ca n't stand us fighting anymore , right ? sonny : gabi , i do n't wan na fight with you . i care about you , i love arianna , but you are headed for a train wreck with this guy . gabi : you know , i need some air . can you watch arianna ? sonny : who are you going ... gabi : i 'm sorry , what ? did you say something ? sonny : no . nope . gabi : later .

[ sighs ] eric : nicole 's a very loving person . she 's very giving . she 's also very needy . i think that she would do almost anything if we could marry and spend our lives together . louis : the church teaches against a marriage to someone like her . eric : she 's had a number of husbands , and some of her marriages would n't qualify for any kind of annulment . louis : hmm . i see . well , with that kind of history , the -- there could never be a marriage that met the church 's requirements . in fact , the church would consider a marriage to someone like nicole to be ... [ sighs ] wrong . sonny : hey , you . i was just checking on ari . i swear to god , she is getting bigger and bigger every day . i looked -- gabi : abigail . hey , um , listen , i wanted to say thank you for sticking up for me at the apartment . abigail : yeah , it 's no problem . feel like you 've been getting ganged up on ? gabi : i am getting ganged up on . i mean , sonny and will -- they 've been great , but sometimes , it 's just ... abigail : i know , you -- you 're frustrated because you feel like you 're misunderstood , and i totally get that . but , you know , gabi , at the end of the day , it 's will and sonny 's wedding , and if they do n't want nick there , then -- nick : yeah , um , i totally agree . abigail : oh . brady : why do you despise theresa so much ? i mean , really , is it because she dropped out of aa ? maggie : she was never in aa . she did nothing but lie and fake her way from day one , and you know what ? why are we talking about theresa ? i 'm worried about you and the crisis that you 're going through . now if you do n't get back into the program , your entire life could be ruined . the program is -- brady : stop , maggie ! please ! i do n't wan na hear it anymore . maggie : no , you do n't . i need to see you . now . nicole : i just wanted to apologize about how i acted last night . jennifer : oh , please , it is so fine . in case you had n't noticed , you and eric were not the only ones having problems last night . nicole : i know . what was up with hope and that guy ? total tension . jennifer : i know , but i 'm telling you , next time daniel and i plan a party , we 're gon na make sure it 's not a full moon . nicole : [ laughs ] that 's funny . jennifer : [ laughs ] nicole : listen , i really am happy you invited eric and me . it makes me feel like that we 're okay . jennifer : we are okay . i wanted you there and not just because you 're daniel 's friend . you 've been great with jj , not to mention everything that you have done for eric . so i feel like we are going to be partying again , soon and often . nicole : oh , sounds good . jennifer : yeah , you are a lot of fun . nicole : really ? jennifer : yes , really . in fact , i think we should go for coffee today . how 's that sound ? nicole : sure . let 's do it . theresa : you know , liam , you seem like a nice guy . you 're generous and good- looking . so now that jenny 's back with dr. dan , you seeing anyone special ? liam : no , just playing the field . theresa : hmm . liam : how about you ? you said you had a big change in your life , great new guy , the works . theresa : yeah . liam : i assume this is the guy who replaced dr. jonas . you hooked up with him earlier , right ? abigail : sorry , nick , i guess you did n't need to hear that . nicole : it 's -- it 's cool . it 's fine . i mean , it 's gon na take time for will and sonny to realize that -- that i 'm a different guy , you know ? and the last thing in the world that i would want is to cause a problem at their wedding . gabi : you see ? he bends over backwards , and they still do n't listen . abigail : right . well , it 's really great that you 're being so understanding , nick . nick : i 'm trying . [ sighs ] sonny : [ sighs ] oh . [ sighs ] okay , now what 's this about ?

' m thinking tabloids , talk show , a tell - all book . i 'll be so busy with all that , the divorce would drag on for years . sonny : no one cares about your story . we just want you to go away . leo : well , then it sounds like you have a choice to make . tack on a few more zeroes to that number , and we 'll be out of each other 's lives for good . or do n't , and uncle leo will make your life a living hell . will : except , uh , he 's not uncle leo . leo : this has nothing to do with you . stay out of it . call your father now . sonny : wait , will . what are you saying ? will : i 'm saying leo knows damn well he 's not john 's son . sonny : but the dna test confirmed it . will : only 'cause his mother tampered with the results . i just found out this morning . but leo knew before that , and now he 's trying to bleed you dry before the truth comes out . sonny : if i do n't give him money , he 's going to take me to court . will : oh , let him . there is not a judge on this planet that will give you a red cent . i landed . will : leo has nothing . so , i mean , let him fight . he ca n't win . sonny : i know you 're right , but think about what that means . a public trial ? the media is going to have a field day . it 's going to put so much stress on us and our family and titan . i just want this over . leo : well , we can end it right now . just take that number and make it bigger . will : no , no , no . sonny , listen to me . listen to me . leo can keep running his schemes until the end of time but not on us . it is over . he has nothing : no power , no leverage , no control . he does not get to tell us what we can and can not do anymore . you call the shots now . sonny : last chance . sign the original agreement , or i will throw this in the trash and you will get nothing . leo : you do n't know that . a jury finds out my rich , powerful family is treating me like dirt , they 're going to take pity on me . sonny : and who 's gon na make your case to the jury ? ted laurent ? no , because he 's on the other side now . you do n't have money for a good lawyer ... or a bad lawyer . so you 're gon na have to defend yourself , which i actually would love to see , by the way . i can see it now -- you sweating bullets in front of the judge . on second thought , i am going to throw this -- leo : ah , ah , stop , stop ! i 'll sign it . sonny : and , will , can you sign the part that says `` witness `` ? will : oh , of course . why are you looking at me like that ? leo : you idiot . i 'm giving you the evil eye . you are now officially cursed . rex : so , ben , some patients do n't think a topical anesthetic is enough , so if you want something stronger -- ben : it 's fine . let 's just get it over with . rex : okay . ciara , you 're more than welcome to step out if you want . ciara : no . no , no , no , i 'm gon na stay right here , and i 'm gon na hold ben 's other hand . rex : all right , here we go . ben : you do n't have to do that . ciara : i know . i want to . [ soft guitar music ] eric : mom , i do n't want to talk about sarah . what 's important is that you 're okay . marlena : i can see that you 're not . oh , honey , suppression and silence , it does n't solve anything . you know , you need to hash things out with somebody you trust . i think you trust me . eric : of course i do . marlena : well , then talk to me ! eric : i was praying in the chapel . sarah came to see me , and we started talking about some ... heavy stuff , and ... she kissed me . marlena : how did you react ? eric : i did n't have time . we got interrupted . so later , sarah came and found me back in the chapel . she told me you were awake . i got so emotional , and so did she , and these feelings started pouring out that she had for me . marlena : then i guess the whole thing 's out in the open now . eric : no . because i told her the only thing i felt for her was friendship . marlena : why ? why would you lie to her ? because of rex ? eric : because of you . brady : sarah , you ca n't blame me for not wanting rex to get screwed over the same way i did . sarah : he won't . i 've already explained that to you , so why are you being such a jerk ? did all those failed relationships really screw you up that badly that you enjoy ruining things for other people ? brady : no , not at all . sarah : okay . well , then instead of coming to my work and getting in my face , why do n't you get a life and go find somebody that you care about and leave the rest of us alone ? brady : excuse me . i have someone . i found someone . sarah : oh , really ? brady : yeah , i 'm good . sarah : who ? oh ! wait a minute . it 's chloe , is n't it ? chloe : i meant it when i said that brady and i are just friends . he only came over here last night because he 's concerned about me and the kids . stefan : so he kissed you out of concern . chloe : to be honest , i do n't know why he kissed me . he just did , okay ? stefan : which is a clear indication that brady 's feelings for you go well beyond friendship . i just want to know where i stand . chloe : well , as you know , brady and i used to be married , so we have a connection . sometimes i want to kill him , but the connection 's still there , and i would be lying if i said that i did n't feel something when he kissed me . stefan : oh . what did you feel when i kissed you ? once - daily toujeo ® helps you control your blood sugar sonny : the evil eye ? sounds like something you pulled out of your evil -- leo : wrong . it 's called mati , and it dates back to ancient greece . i heard your uncle vic talking about it , so i looked it up , hoping it would come in handy one day . and now it has . sonny : right , right . so what 's next ? you gon na turn me into a frog ? better yet , why do n't you get on a broomstick and get the hell out of here ? will : sonny , hang on . have you -- have you heard of this ? a mati ? yeah , it 's -- it 's a superstition , okay ? there is nothing to worry about . will : yeah . is n't that what everyone said about the amulet that chad found , the one that could , like , crash planes ? leo : do n't you want to hear what the evil eye can do ? will : yeah . sonny : no . leo : it 's simple , really . you glare at someone , like i did to young william here . next thing you know , he 's going to develop a small headache . things will go from bad to worse until , ultimately , your entire life falls apart , which i sincerely hope it does . now , if you 'll excuse me , i 'm going to blow this popsicle stand . excuse me . sonny : [ sighs ] leo is a bitch , not a witch , okay ? you are not cursed . hey , look at this . leo signed the annulment , which means i 'm free , and we can finally be -- will : i know . i 'm so happy . sonny : mm . not thinking about the evil eye anymore , are ya ? [ both laugh ] will : no , well , i do n't know . there was something weird about the way he was looking at me . sonny : will , you know what ? i got an idea . wait right here . i 'll be right back . rex : all right , ben , you are all done . good job . you 're a rock star . ben : thanks , rex . can i go now ? rex : i 'm sorry . i 'm still waiting for your blood test results . you also have a slight fever , and to avoid sepsis , to be on the safe side , i would like to run an antibiotic iv drip . i know ; i 'm sorry . and you 're dehydrated , so you could use the fluids anyway . ben : great . rex : i 'm going to go order the iv . i 'll be right back . ciara : thanks . i told ya . ben : you said gangrene . he said sepsis . ciara : well , gangrene can lead to sepsis . ben : okay , so you 're the expert now . you 're the gangrene queen . ciara : well , i know a little more than you think . you know , i used to work here as a candy striper . what ? ben : i was just thinking how hot you must have looked in that uniform . marlena : you lied to sarah because of me ? eric : i know this may sound strange , but when i heard you were in crisis , i made a promise to god . marlena : what kind of promise ? eric : if he let you live , that i swore that i would never come between sarah and rex . that is what happened . he spared your life . marlena : oh , honey . oh , i appreciate that you made that promise for me , but i think what helped me was great medical care . eric : forgive me , mom . i know you 're a woman of science , but i am a man of faith . and when i found out later , at almost the very exact same time , you flatlined . marlena : i know . kayla told me . honey , it 's my belief that that was a coincidence . eric : mom , i 'm not naive . i believe in coincidences . but i also believe that god listens , so i can not discount the possibility that my prayer had something to do with your recovery . and even if it did n't , i made a vow . marlena : i have so much respect for your beliefs . and i 'm so happy to be alive . but i do n't want that to cost you your happiness . brady : you 're right ; you got me . i have resurfaced feelings for my ex - wife chloe . sarah : i did n't expect that . brady : i did n't expect it either . but right now , what i feel for her is worry , sarah , because there 's a -- there 's a drug cartel that wants her dead , and she and her kids have targets on their backs , and she is shacking up with stefan dimera , of all people . sarah : why ? brady : because the snake somehow convinced her that she would be safer with him than with me . he 's pretending to protect her because he wants to get her in the sack , and it 's -- it 's a sick situation . and she does n't even know what she 's getting into . sarah : well , um ... thank you for being honest with me . i mean , now i understand why you 're on the attack all the time . brady : excuse me ? sarah : well , you 're frustrated that chloe 's living with stefan . that 's why you 're taking it out on me and eric . it has nothing to do with us . brady : hold on . hold -- no , it does have a lot to do with the both of you . sarah , i mean , holly is your niece , and nicole 's dying wish was that eric protected holly . sarah : i do n't believe this . brady : what do you mean ? what 's not to believe , sarah ? sarah , i was there . i heard nicole begging eric to `` make sure that you '' -- `` make sure you protect my little girl . `` that 's what she said to him . sarah : that is not what happened . brady : that is what happened . sarah : no . eric was set to become holly 's guardian . and as soon as that letter , the one from nicole to chloe stating what she wished for her daughter , showed up , you were team chloe all the way ! you 're the one that even planted the idea that they go to court . but eric did n't want to do that to a little girl that had just lost her mother , so he bowed out , and he gave chloe full custody , which is exactly what you wanted . brady : opinions change , sarah . sarah : yeah , well , people do n't , especially not you . it broke eric 's heart to let go of holly , but he did it because he put her needs in front of his own , which is the opposite of what you 're doing . you 're being selfish and vindictive , and you 're trying to use a child as a weapon all because your old flame is just not that into you . so stop it , brady ! brady : i ca n't believe you 're not going to prioritize holly 's safety -- rex : stop it ! are you kidding me ? i can hear you from down the hall . what the hell are you two fighting about ?

billie : hey , if you want to go to the reception , it 's okay . i can handle this . bo : no . i would n't be welcome there , and i do n't want to upset shawn any more than i already have . i missed his wedding . he 's gon na see that as me choosing chelsea over our family one more time . chelsea : well , i 'm your family , too . but if you 'd rather i was n't , i can make that happen . billie : is that a threat , chelsea ? your father has done everything humanly possible to make sure you know that he loves you and that he wants you to be happy . why are you acting like you 're the one who was wronged here ? you knew exactly how upset everyone would be if you showed up at shawn and mimi 's wedding . chelsea : dad told me he knew it was an honest mistake . billie : how many honest mistakes do you think you get to make ? you are responsible for your choices and the consequences everyone has to pay . your father and shawn were finally back on speaking terms . it took a lot for him to invite bo to his wedding . but because of you , bo did n't get to see his son get married today . chelsea : and because of me , he 's not gon na get to watch his other son get married . i know . everything bad that happens to everyone in this family is all my fault . i thought i was doing the right thing today . billie : how , chelsea ? ! you were n't invited to the wedding . that 's a pretty clear sign that they did n't want you there . chelsea : yeah , i know that . thanks a lot . but i told you -- i came into the church quietly , and i sat in the back . i did n't think that anyone would notice me . i just wanted to show shawn that i cared by bringing him and mimi a gift . that 's all . and shawn would n't even have noticed me if it was n't for belle opening her big mouth and pointing me out . she started all of this . bo : do n't go blaming belle . chelsea : i did n't think that everyone would treat me like a monster . i just wanted to reach out to my family . [ scene_break ] austin : i 'm sorry we missed the wedding , but at least we made the reception . lucas : yeah , i think we should have waited . i know i should have waited . we should have waited for carrie to finish with her discharge instructions from lexie . it would only have taken a few minutes . austin : nothing around here seems to take a few minutes . carrie deciding who she wants to spend her future with -- she tries to tell us 10 times . you 're like , `` no , wait . let us plead our case . `` make sure she knows who she wants to be with , like she 's some idiot . lucas : she 's got to think about it . that 's a decision that 's gon na last the rest of her life . austin : why are you so insecure ? you are just postponing the inevitable . i could just see her lips form the word `` austin . `` lucas : yeah . she was gon na say , `` austin , i 'm sorry , but i 've chosen lucas . `` she was gon na say , `` lucas . `` you got that ? austin : in your dreams , man . lucas : she is gon na be with me . i 'm positive of it . this is just like nicole . the same thing . you relocated her to l.a. to run the highstyle division of your company . i guess you blew it with her , too , did n't you ? austin : i did n't want her , anyway . besides , she fell in love with some soap- opera actor and wants to get married and have a baby . lucas : good . good for her . i guess now you 're stuck with sami . you 're welcome to her . [ scene_break ] [ cellphone rings ] austin : hello . carrie : hey , it 's me . austin : carrie , hi . um , look , i 'm really sorry that lucas and i left . we thought we should at least try and make shawn and mimi 's reception . is everything all right ? carrie : could you come back to the hospital ? austin : yeah . yeah . do you need a ride home ? carrie : it 's not that . austin : is everything okay ? carrie : i 'm fine , but i have something to tell you that is going to affect the rest of our lives together . austin : i 'm on my way . [ scene_break ] sami : carrie , what are you still doing walking around the hospital ? that ca n't be good for you . carrie : lexie discharged me . i 'm supposed to take it easy , but i 'm -- i 'm fine . sami : you do n't seem fine . you seem upset . carrie : well , seeing those parents bringing the baby who died -- aaron -- of course that 's gon na upset me . sami : look , let me just take you home , get you out of here . carrie : thanks , but , um , i just phoned austin . he 's on his way over here .. sami : really ? why ?

[ laughter ] as most of you know -- as all of you know -- the four of us have been friends for a very , very long time , and in that time , we 've shared some very happy memories and some very difficult ones , but it is our love and loyalty to each other that has gotten through those . shawn and mimi -- our very best friends -- we love you . we wish you all the love and happiness in your marriage that we have in ours . and may your life be filled with love and laughter with all of your friends and family , with us at the very top of that list . to shawn and mimi ! all : to shawn and mimi ! [ scene_break ] belle : take that . philip : what 's wrong now ? what -- belle ? belle ! [ scene_break ] shawn d. : i 'll talk to her . philip : what ? no . this is your reception . she 's my wife . shawn d. : she 's having a hard time dealing with the wedding . i 'm probably the only one who can talk to her about it . philip : excuse me ? i know you 're not suggesting there 's something going on between you and belle that i do n't know about , right ? [ scene_break ] like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . [ scene_break ] bo : chelsea , maybe your intentions are good , but are you hearing what your mom and i are saying to you ? you 're a smart girl . there 's no reason for this to keep happening over and over again . you ca n't keep doing these stupid , impulsive things and expect to get some kind of unlimited forgiveness . chelsea : nobody forgives me . and you know what ? they probably should n't . all i hear about is how i need to pay for what i 've done . well , believe me , i am paying . everybody hates me . no matter how hard i try to do things right , i always manage to just screw things up . excuse me . bo : chelsea -- billie : no . let me . [ scene_break ] philip : look , i 'd just like to know what it is that belle can only talk to you about . shawn d. : there 's no secret . she probably feels bad about stopping the wedding when chelsea showed up . philip : you told her you were glad she did it at the time . shawn d. : yeah , yeah . if she and i had n't seen chelsea , we probably would n't have stopped the wedding , my father would n't have left . belle feels bad about that , i 'm sure .. i just want to tell her she has nothing to worry about . [ scene_break ] mimi : it makes sense to me , too , philip . we all know how overly sensitive belle is . she made a scene at the wedding , so she 's just upset about that . philip : you want to go talk to her ? go talk to her . but you will be missing your own wedding reception , so hurry back . i 'll stay with mimi . shawn d. : okay . all right . we will . mimi : and please let belle know that i 'm not at all upset with her . and do n't be long , okay ? shawn d. : i wo n't . 'cause every minute away from my beautiful bride just feels like an eternity . mimi : well , thank you for that cliché remark , but i 'll take it . [ scene_break ] philip : so , tell me , meems , what could possibly be going on between the two of them that i do n't know about ? [ scene_break ] bonnie : okay . so now that 's one embarrassing moment at the wedding and one embarrassing moment at the reception -- both involving belle and shawn -- and the night 's still young . why do you think belle ran out of here so fast after that toast , and why did shawn run after her ? kate : i think belle is just upset because she could n't stop the wedding . bonnie : this is my baby 's party . if belle wants to cry , she can do it someplace else . what do you think she 's saying to shawn ? kate : it really does n't matter now because shawn is married to mimi and he 's not about to break his sacred wedding vows , is he ? bonnie : yeah , like that 's never happened before . [ scene_break ] victor : i still do n't feel right not telling shawn he 's the father of belle 's baby . kate : then do n't feel right about it . just do n't tell him . caroline : do n't tell him what ? [ scene_break ] shawn d. : come on . you ca n't keep doing this to yourself ... or to me or philip . belle : i ca n't help it . shawn d. : or mimi . everyone in there just saw you run out . you agreed to be mimi 's matron of honor . you have to be happy for us . you said that you wanted to stay friends , and that is not gon na happen unless you can accept -- belle : i never should have let you marry mimi . i should have stopped the wedding , and i should have told philip and everyone in that church that i still love you .

[ scene_break ] caroline : what were you two talking about ? do n't tell what ? kate : actually , we were talking about austin and his business , and victor 's absolutely adamant that austin take nothing away from him . caroline : oh , well , i think there 's room for all three businesses in salem . austin 's competition for basic black , as well as titan . kate : yes . of course . but victor tends to be a bit more ruthless than john or me . you should n't cause trouble when it 's not necessary . [ scene_break ] mimi : i do n't think anything 's going on , philip . i think shawn is exactly right why belle ran out . philip : really ? you want to hear a confession ? mimi : what ? philip : when belle stood up in the church and told everyone the wedding had to stop , i thought she was gon na do it . i thought she was gon na tell the whole church that she still loves shawn . mimi : you want to hear my confession ? philip : mm - hmm . mimi : i thought the same thing . philip : i 'm sure you did . mimi : yeah . philip : i do everything i can every day not to worry about her feelings for him . mimi : yeah . they loved each other for a really long time . philip : yes , they did . but belle and i are married now , and look at what we have together . now shawn 's married to you , and i would love to believe he would never have done that if he still loves belle . mimi : no . of course he would n't . [ scene_break ] belle : you know that i still love you , and i know that you still love me , too . shawn d. : yes . i do . [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] chelsea : [ sighs ] go away . billie : come on , chelsea . open up . chelsea : [ sniffles ] you know , at least dad understood why i went to the wedding -- not to hurt anybody . i just thought that if i brought them a gift -- billie : stop it , chelsea . chelsea : what ? billie : just stop , okay ? chelsea : what are you talking about ? billie : you know exactly what i 'm talking about . you know , that little warning that you gave me earlier keeps ringing in my ears . you said , `` if you wo n't fight for me or the man that you love , i 'll have to fight for both of us . `` chelsea : maybe i was being a little dramatic , but , mom , i was upset . i do n't want to go to prison , and i need dad to be on my side . how does that have anything to do with me wanting to go to shawn and mimi 's wedding ? billie : i know exactly why you showed up at shawn and mimi 's wedding , and it was n't to reach out to family . you knew exactly what you were doing . you went there to upset shawn and drive an even bigger wedge between him and his father and bo and hope . how can you live with yourself ? what the hell is wrong with you ?

[ scene_break ] victor : would you care to dance ? caroline : i 'd love to . victor : i know we 've talked about this before , but i really need to know the truth . if you had it to do over again , would you still keep it a secret from me that bo is really my son ? [ scene_break ] philip : things do n't always work out the way you expect . if someone would have told me in high school that i was gon na marry your mommy and that you were gon na marry shawn -- mimi : no , i would n't have believed it , either . but you know what , philip ? it 's true . and i am just gon na start being happy and not question anything anymore , and you should n't , either . [ scene_break ] belle : you 're admitting that you still love me ? shawn d. : you know i do . belle : [ exhales sharply ] then why did you go through with this wedding ? shawn d. : for the same reason that you did n't stop it . it would have been wrong . part of me will always love you , and we will always share a memory , but it is a memory without a future . you 're married to philip , and the two of you have a daughter . now mimi and i are married , and we 're gon na adopt and start a family . you have to accept that your future is with philip and mine is with mimi . belle : i know . i know that 's true . and i love philip -- i do -- and i know that he loves me and that i can count on him , you know , to be a loyal , dependable , great father . shawn d. : start giving it back to him . start being happy . belle : [ sniffles ] before we go in ... once last dance to say goodbye to the past ? if i do n't need you ... shawn d. : sure . crying on my bed if i do n't need you , then why does your name resound ... i breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today 'cause i love you whether it 's wrong or right shawn d. : i love you . belle : i love you , too . and know my heart is by your ... shawn d. : be happy . belle : you , too . i ca n't take it i do n't understand if i 'm not made for you , then why does my heart tell me that i am ? is there any way that i can stay in your arms ? shawn d. : bye . [ scene_break ] caroline : do n't forget , victor , when bo was born , you took off to europe to make your fortune . victor : would it have made a difference if i 'd stayed ? caroline : i did n't approve of your business tactics , victor . victor : that 's understandable . caroline : and as much as i loved you , i did n't want my son growing up in your home . i know it 's not what you want to hear , but , yes , i would do that over again to protect bo , my marriage , and my family . [ scene_break ] bonnie : oh , i like the look of that . mickey : what ? bonnie : belle and shawn were outside talking , and they just walked back in separately . mickey : oh . hmm .

[ scene_break ] billie : you knew exactly what would happen when you showed up at that wedding today , and it was n't to open up these wonderful lines of communication with shawn . the fallout was exactly what you planned it to be . chelsea : mom , i 'm not a psychic . billie : oh , no . no . but you are a world - class schemer . i know you think that having bo on your side will somehow help with your case and maybe even keep you out of jail , but this is n't the way to do it , chelsea . how long do you think it 's gon na take before your father gets fed up with your lies and your mistakes ? and all the damage that you 've done can never be undone . thanks to you , bo and hope did not see their son get married today . chelsea : it was hope 's decision to leave town because she could n't stand the fact and she could n't forgive bo for supporting me . how is that my fault ? and why would i think that dad would miss his own son 's wedding just because i showed up ? mom , i had no idea that he would do that . you still do n't believe me , do you ? billie : honestly , chelsea ... i do n't know . chelsea : well , fine . if you 're just gon na turn against me , too , then just get out of my room and leave me alone . i mean it . go .

'cause i 'm gon na set her straight once and for all . theresa : [ scoffs ] i should have known . the only reason you 're interested in me is because you know i hate daniel and jennifer almost as much as you do . liam : i do n't hate anyone . theresa : yeah , right . that 's why you bring up their names every time you talk to me . you 're furious that she dumped you , and this is all about payback , is n't it ? meanwhile , you know who 's getting blamed for your stupid little stunt ? i am . liam : you have no idea what you 're talking about . theresa : you think i 'm gon na sit here and take the blame for this ? you know , daniel threatened me , okay ? he says all sorts of terrible things to me , and he 's gon na have to take it all back . when i tell him how wrong he is , maybe he 'll finally get the hell off -- liam : no , you ca n't -- whoa , whoa . theresa : you ca n't stop me . jennifer : i 'm sorry that i ca n't give you all the sordid details . i think you understand why . brady : no . no , i do n't , actually . you know , jennifer , maybe there was -- there was a time when i would have just taken your word for it and not asked any questions , but you 're the one ... if i 'd have known that kristen was cheating on me , if i would have known , if you would have told me that she was maybe pregnant with some other guy 's baby , things might have been different . jennifer : you know what , brady ? i am so sorry about that , and if i had the chance to do that over , i would have told you . brady : but you do n't . you do n't . here we are . you have another chance to be straight with me , and you 're not . here we are again . jennifer : this is different , because this is not about you . it has nothing to do with you at all . and if i were to tell you what had happened , it could hurt a lot of people that i love . brady : so basically , um , you do n't trust me , but i 'm just supposed to trust you , right ? jennifer : you know what ? do n't take my word for it . talk to kayla , talk to aunt maggie , talk to anyone who has dealt with her . she is absolutely determined to self - destruct . and if you were yourself ... you would see that she 's trying to take you down with her . brady : okay . well , this conversation 's going nowhere fast . i 'll tell maggie you stopped by . jennifer : brady ... okay , fine . i 'm gon na go , but remember , when everyone tried to warn you about kristen , you did n't want to hear it , and i get that . i did n't want to hear it either because kristen was my friend . but theresa is not your friend . right now she is your worst enemy . caroline : so my beautiful granddaughter is sleeping through our playdate . will : well , actually , it 's great - great . caroline : oh , that 's right . i 'll take all the greats i can get . well , i know you 're busy with the big day , so i wo n't be in your way . will : well , actually , uh , grandma caroline ... sonny : we have another reason for asking you here today . will : here . caroline : oh , yes ?

[ sighs ] why do you do it ? jj : you know damn well why i 'm working here . paige : i do n't mean that . i mean ... why do you have to act like such a jerk ? because i know you 're not ... except when you 're around me . jj : uh , you do n't know anything about me . paige : i know more than you think . jj : what ? paige : i 've heard you play ... your guitar . you 're good , jj ... really good . caroline : would i be reading scripture or a poem ? will : well , we just thought you could ... sonny : say something from the heart . caroline : oh , you get me going , i may never stop . will : [ laughs ] well , we 've got all afternoon . caroline : [ laughing ] okay . will : you 're the one person that i could always count on to make sure that i never felt alone . caroline : and now you 'll never be alone , you know . i prayed that i 'd live long enough to see you married with children , not necessarily ... [ clears throat ] in that order , you know . will : [ chuckles ] caroline : i told will that i had two dear friends who were in a loving , committed relationship all their adult lives , but ... they never had the chance to marry . i 'm very glad things are different , and i would be honored ... to speak at your wedding . will : thank you . caroline : oh , my dear . will : you just made this day that much more special . [ chuckles ] nicole : are you ... actually saying you want me to -- marlena : come to the wedding . yes . nicole : thank you . marlena : and guess what else . [ chuckles ] wait . i 'm officiating . [ laughs ] way , way long story , but , um ... i 'm hoping if things get shaky , you can send me a lifeline . eric : you can count on me . marlena : yeah , i know . eric : you 're gon na do great . i know your support has meant so much to will and sonny . marlena : i hope you also know that i support all of my children and my grandchildren . eric : i do . i have to go . i 'm supposed to meet jennifer at work . marlena : oh , oh , that 's right . how is the job going ? eric : it 's -- it 's going great . marlena : good . good . nicole : have a good day . eric : i 'll see you later . nicole : okay . marlena , wait . please do n't -- please do n't go . daniel : you are using someone who 's been through hell already ... who is a good guy ... who deserves so much better . and if you have even an ounce of compassion , which you evidently do n't , you would stop encouraging him to give in to his addiction and leave him the hell alone . theresa : are you making me a better offer ? jj : when did you hear me play ? paige : uh , you know your neighbor daphne ? jj : no . paige : well , she 's a good friend of mine . i was over at her place last week , and i heard you jamming to some classic clapton . jj : i was just fooling around . paige : no , you were n't . you 've got real talent . jj : what would you know about that ? paige : i 've been playing the piano as long as i can remember . i studied at juilliard last summer . jj : juilliard ? paige : i went on scholarship . but learned a whole lot . but i 'll never have what you have . jj : what i have ? paige : the way you play ... what you must feel inside ... that ca n't be taught . it 's just something you have , and you have it . brady : [ sniffs ] john : i just dropped by to bring will and sonny a little wedding present . i kind of figured you 'd be at work . brady : i am working . john : right . brady : do n't start . john : i did n't come here to lecture . like i said , i thought you 'd be at work , but since you 're here , i do want to help . brady : you want to help ? you want to help me ? then get out . stay out of my life . that 's how you can help me . maxine : the last time i went to a wedding at the kiriakis mansion , things did not end well , and that 's an actual understatement . [ chuckles ] abe : well , let 's hope tomorrow will be better for us all . maxine : i 'm optimistic . abe : me too . take care . i 'll see you later . maxine : okay . jennifer : i told you so . oh , my goodness . maxine : jennifer ... jennifer : what ? maxine : abe just asked me to go with him to will and sonny 's wedding . i do n't know what i 'm gon na wear . jennifer : what were you gon na wear already ? maxine : oh , my god , i do n't own a pair of shoes i can dance in . jennifer : we will get you some new shoes . maxine : oh , i do n't know what 's the matter with me . patient goes into cardiac arrest , i jump in with both feet , and just thinking about tomorrow , my hands are shaking . jennifer : no , do n't shake . you 're gon na have the most wonderful time . maxine : thank you . jennifer : `` thank you `` ? are you kidding ? after everything you 've done for me , this is the best . i 'm so excited . eric : hey , jennifer . jennifer : hey . eric : hey , i 've got those proofs for you . jennifer : oh , yeah , let 's take a look . excuse me . here , sit down . let 's see what you got . eric : i also want to apologize for last night . i mean , you went through so much trouble . jennifer : we ordered pizza . eric : yeah , but still , you and daniel -- you all planned a really nice evening . i 'm afraid we ruined it for everyone . jennifer : you 're really giving yourself too much credit , because everyone was having an awful time before you got there . eric : thanks for trying to make me feel better . jennifer : eric , come on , couples fight . if it makes you feel any better , i had a really nice talk with nicole earlier . eric : that 's great . jennifer : are you okay ? nicole : i know it must have been difficult for you ... reaching out to me like that . but i accept your apology . marlena : thank you . nicole : so everything 's cool between us , right ? [ chuckles ] marlena : sure . everything 's cool . nicole : you do n't sound all that convinced . marlena : you know what ? i just have to go -- that 's all . nicole : wait , wait , wait . marlena ... why do i get the feeling there 's still something on your mind ? marlena : no , i - i 've got a patient waiting for me -- that 's all . nicole : okay . um , i 'm no shrink , but i 'm really good at reading people , and i can tell by the look on your face that things are n't cool between us , not really . marlena : i wish you would take this at face value , okay ? nicole : i wish you would shoot straight with me . come on , let 's just put everything on the table once and for all . marlena : fine . you want everything on the table ? look me right in the eye one last time ... and tell me you are not hiding something about chyka ... or my son . daniel : you ca n't even help yourself , can you ? 'cause you have this sick obsession for hurting jennifer . and even though i ca n't stand to be in the same room as you -- theresa : and yet here we are again . you know , people say there 's a fine line between hatred and love . daniel : you know , shut up . you do n't know anything about love , anything ! i used to think you had a heart in there , but i was wrong . clearly i was wrong , because even your parents know it is hopeless to think that you will ever change , and i ca n't wait till brady comes to his senses and sees what everybody else ... already knows . theresa : now , i kept my part of the bargain because i 'm a person of my word , but you 're going to be very sorry that you spoke to me this way ... very . daniel : like hell i will . your eyes really are unique . eric : yeah , everything is just fine . it 's just that -- [ cell phone rings ] eric : excuse me . jennifer : sure . eric : i have to take this . jennifer : yeah . eric : father louis . maxine : i 'm so sorry . i got distracted earlier . jennifer : oh , gee , i wonder why . maxine : oh , i forgot to tell you that liam was looking for you a little while ago . jennifer : oh , did he say what he wanted ? maxine : mm - mm . just said it was personal . oh , you do n't want to see him . jennifer : mm - mm . maxine : all righty , then , behind you at 6 : 00 . do n't worry . i got your back . liam : do you have a minute to talk ? jennifer : liam , hey . liam : it 's kind of important , so maybe we can go some place private ? jennifer : um , you know , this really is n't a good time . maxine : oh , i 'm sorry to interrupt . jennifer , you have a call . jennifer : oh , thanks , maxine . maxine : uh , sounds like it might be urgent , may take a while . jennifer : right . okay . i will take that in my office . excuse me , i really got to take this . daniel : i hope to hell brady sobers up and figures out what you 're really about , but you will not touch jennifer , do you understand ? theresa : or you 'll ship me back to jail , blah , blah , blah . daniel : i will do it in a heartbeat , because unlike you , i am a man of my word . do you hear me ? theresa : loud and clear . daniel : that 's good . you leave brady alone . do n't forget what i said . get out . [ sighs , groans ] [ breathes deeply ] liam : theresa , tell me you did n't say anything . theresa : just come with me right now . brady : do you remember what happened with kristen , dad ? the more everyone tried to keep us apart ... the more i wanted her . you see a pattern here ? john : do you ? brady : you do n't get to tell me what to do anymore . john : i know . i gave up doing that . brady : good . thank you . john : but i will never give up on loving you or wanting what 's best for you , and if your mother were here right now -- brady : do n't you bring mom into this , dad ! she would hate your guts for what you did ... as much as i do . john : wow . well , then i guess it 's a good thing she 's not here right now to ... look at either one of us . sonny : sorry . she 's still sleeping . caroline : okay . sonny : but wait till you see her in her dress . caroline : oh , she 'd look beautiful in a potato sack .

[ knock at door ] jennifer : hey . okay , i am so proud of myself because i have been racking my brain trying to find the perfect gift for will and sonny 's wedding present , so i called adrienne . she told me about this amazing website where you can order this beautiful artwork . so she and justin -- they ordered this beautiful print , and they had it framed , which is the best part . so i ordered one from us . and i really want you to like it , so i 'm gon na pull it up on the website for you and show it to you so then you can see it too . yes ? no ? are you okay ? daniel : uh , yeah , yeah . no , i 'm just a little -- little bummed out . jennifer : because ? daniel : because i 'm not gon na be able to be at the wedding with you . jennifer : i wish you were there too . daniel : yeah , but -- jennifer : but you are gon na be in spirit . daniel : yes , i will ... right by your side . liam : so are you finally gon na start talking ? theresa : i could n't risk anyone overhearing us at the hospital . liam : does that mean -- theresa : i did n't tell daniel and jennifer what you did , and i 'm not going to . liam : why not ? theresa : because they deserved it . it was dumb , but who cares ? of course i do n't appreciate your letting everybody think that i 'm the one who sent out those stupid flyers . and you can knock off pretending that you want to be my friend , okay ? liam : no worries there . theresa : [ scoffs ] we might not like each other , but the important thing is we have a common enemy . liam : so ? theresa : so ... i have something that might help you ... a lot . marlena : and all i have to do is read the vows , and i am a nervous wreck . brady : do n't screw it up . marlena : [ chuckles ] brady : you know , i just -- i just hope we have a wedding where we actually hear the `` i do '' s in this town . i think sonny and will are gon na make it . marlena : mm . brady : sami i 'm not so sure about . marlena : do n't go there . brady : [ sighs ] have you talked to dad since he got home ? marlena : i have . you ? brady : mm - hmm . he was here a little while ago . it 's amazing . i mean , the guy falls off the face of the earth for months ... and he 's got nothing better to do than to stalk me . i just want him to leave me the hell alone . just leave me alone . but i know i do n't have to tell you that , because i 'm sure you feel the same way . john : hey , eric . eric : hello , john . john : do n't sweat it . i 'm gon na make this short and sweet . look , i know a lot of people are having issues with nicole , your mother included ... but i have seen another side of her . so i just want to say that i 'm hoping it works out for the two of you . you deserve it . nicole : what kind of game is marlena playing ? who cares ? she ca n't prove anything anyway . you 're a pro , nicole . you know how to handle this . there 's only one thing left to do , and then my secret will be safe , and eric will be mine ... forever . | theresa realized that liam is getting back at daniel and jennifer . theresa told liam that she was getting accused of the stuff he did . she let him know that she was going to tell daniel and jennifer what he was up to . jennifer did n't tell brady about theresa . brady was upset that jennifer would n't tell him anything . she tried to warn him about theresa before she left . marlena wanted to apologize to eric and nicole for going to stefano . theresa went to see daniel . marlena told nicole that will and sonny want her to be at their wedding . john went to see brady , but he did n't want to see him . daniel and theresa got in an argument over brady . |

[ thomas cooing ] abigail : i just missed so much time with him . i hate that you know more about him than i do . chad : that 's not true . okay ? not anymore . [ gentle music ] can i get you anything ? abigail : i 'm fine . chad : no , you 're not . you were poisoned . you almost died because of me . abigail : chad , stop . no . it 's because of deimos . okay ? he 's the one that hooked me and gabi up to those ivs . it 's because of you ... that i 'm alive . chad : well , gabi 's not out of the woods yet . abigail : it 's gon na be all right . she has to be . [ monitors beeping ] dario : how 's she doing ? um , you should ask her doctor about that . dario : i 'm asking you . is her breathing okay ? let 's just say she 's not out of the woods yet . marlena : oh , i have a sinking feeling i know what you 're about to say . brady : you usually do . marlena : you 're helping nicole ? brady : yeah . i 'm in love with her . i 'm in love with her which means i have to do everything and anything that i can to help her and her baby . marlena : well , you may or may not be in love with her ... brady : i am . marlena : but that does n't change the fact that she has defied court order and she has kidnapped a child . brady : [ stammers ] she took her own daughter back . marlena : in the eyes of the court it 's kidnapping . and if she keeps that child , she will have to stay on the run . and then that will be the life that you will have to lead , too . brady : well , i 've decided , marlena , and ... i want my future to be with her . marlena : tell me this is n't going where i think it 's going . [ dramatic music ] abigail : okay , let 's go to the hospital . chad : what do you mean ? abigail : no , i 'm fine . i think -- i think we should go see gabi . [ sighs ] chad : i do n't -- i do n't think that 's a good idea . abigail : chad , she 's our friend . chad : i know , but we -- we -- abigail : yeah , i know . i know what we discussed , but it does n't matter anymore , chad . everything is different . so whatever boundaries that we set yesterday , that does n't apply anymore because deimos , he came after us , he came after her , and so i think that it is really important for us to stand together . and i know i want gabi to know that we 're in her corner . i want her to know that we 're both there . chad : you are ... the most amazing woman ... [ abigail laughs ] chad : i 've ever known . abigail : ugh , very far from it . far , far from it . but i think gabi needs us so we should go . chad : are you sure ? abigail : i am sure . i am sure . it 's the right thing to do . so i 'm gon na go get some shoes and -- [ groans ] let 's party ! jade : i think whatever you have to say to joey , you can say to me . kayla : well , the fact is , it 's not your call , jade . jade : right . um , i 'll just go upstairs then . joey : you were kinda hard on her . kayla : well , maybe you have n't noticed , but she does n't take subtle hints . joey : so what 's the big deal that you have to talk to me alone ? this about dad and ava 's son ? kayla : yeah . i think maybe we found your brother . steve : i can tell you this : your mom was determined to find you , but she was given the same bad information i was . tripp : that i was dead ? steve : yeah . tripp : man , this is a lot to take in . [ clears throat ] steve : i can imagine . tripp : but what about my mom ? you never finished telling me about her . is she still looking for me ? steve : tripp , i know this is hard and you got a lot of questions , but i do need to know for sure if you 're my son before i tell you anything more about her . tripp : 'cause if you 're not my dad , she 's not my mom . steve : i 'm just trying to look out for you . tripp : well , it wo n't be long now . steve : no , it wo n't . the analysis of your tests has been delayed . steve : do you know for how long ? i do n't , but i can call you ? or dr . johnson if you 'd like . steve : that 'd be great . thanks . tripp : well , now what do we do ? steve : i 'll tell you what , come with me . someone i want you to meet just in case . [ tripp sighs ] brady : look , marlena , i -- i do n't have amnesia , i remember the things that nicole 's done . marlena : i 'm not talking about her . i 'm talking about you . we both know that nicole has made some very bad decisions and now you 're telling me that you think you may be involved in some -- some illegal activity ? brady : what can i say ? i think she 's doing the right thing and ... i love her . i love her . marlena : so you 've said . you love her ... and you think you 're doing the right thing . do you feel that way because you wan na make the life for her that daniel wanted to make ? dario : rafe was here , he had to get back to work . eduardo : hey . dario : hey . eduardo : any change ? dario : no . did you talk to her doctor ? i just saw her respiratory therapist , and i swear she -- i think she 's worried about her . eduardo : well , so 's her doctor . i mean , she 's stable , but she 's -- she 's not improving . gabi . gabi . if her breathing does n't improve , they may have to intubate . dario : dad , that 's not good . i had a buddy in l.a. that they had to put in one of those automatic breathing tubes , all right , once they did that , he was never able to breathe on his own again . eduardo : yeah , but it does n't always go that way . dario : no , but it could . okay ? i wan na tear deimos kiriakis from limb to limb . eduardo : okay , we do n't have any proof yet that he 's actually behind this . dario : are you kidding me ? everybody knows it was deimos . it was deimos who took chad and gabi and stuck them in that meat locker and now he 's walking around like a free man . now if the cops are n't gon na do anything about it , i am . eduardo : okay , i feel you . i feel you , but please , we ca n't afford to do anything until we have dead man proof . he wants you to go after him . he wants you to retaliate in anger . he 's counting on it . we can not afford to keep mindlessly escalating this war . we need to be smart and win it . permanently . dario : fine , i wo n't do anything . eduardo : all right . dario : but if anything happens to gabi -- eduardo : okay , trust me . we will respond . [ dramatic music ] joey : so you actually found him ? kayla : well , we 're not sure exactly , but there 's a strong possibility he is your dad 's son . they went to the hospital just now to do a paternity test . joey : so soon you 'll know if he 's really dad 's son . kayla : yeah . joey : and ava 's . does he know she 's dead ? kayla : your dad decided that he would n't tell tripp everything until we 're sure . and even then i - i do n't know if he should know everything . i just -- joey : that i killed her ? [ knock at door ] joey : i 'll get it . uh , you must be tripp . tripp : and you might be my brother . brady : you know , i was in nicole 's life a long time before she even met daniel . i was always there for her and vice versa . it just took me a long time to see it . marlena : you know i believe in love . this is not going to work . nicole is going to be caught and she will lose the baby and she will go to jail . brady : no no . it 's `` if `` she gets caught and i plan to do everything i can to prevent that from happening . marlena : oh , you 've got this all figured out . brady : i 'm -- just about . yeah . marlena : i see . why did you call me ? brady : be -- i mean , i - i -- marlena : i know why you called me . because you know as well as i do this is a dead end street . it 's going nowhere . and then what about tate ? [ dramatic music ] abigail : how 's gabi ? dario : she 's unconscious in a hospital bed ... because of you . abigail : dario , do n't do that . dario : do n't what ? do n't tell the truth ? because you keep dragging my sister into every mess that you create . chad : last night i was under the impression -- dario : i know , last night i was so relieved that no one had died that i did n't even get to process what had actually happened or why , but now -- chad : and now you 're -- now you 're blaming me ? dario : you know , you and your family can make all the enemies you want , but you should really start thinking about your loved ones . abigail : okay , this is supposed to be about gabi . chad : i apologize that you 're angry -- dario : that 's great ! that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside , but the truth of the matter is -- is that if you had n't decided to go all dimera , deimos would n't have decided to go after your wife and my sister . and i think we both know why he did what he did . why he took both of them . abigail : can we please just focus on gabi ? dario : you wan na focus on gabi ? okay . gabi 's not getting any better . her breathing is labored and getting worse and the doctors ca n't figure out why . it 's like she -- she 's not even trying . abigail : [ sighs ] are you okay ? chad : yeah . abigail : okay . i should go check on him . chad : you okay ? abigail : yeah . [ monitors beeping ] abigail : wait , wait . marlena : brady , this is so , so sad . and i ache for nicole . but you 've got to think of tate . and it 's for his sake you have to give this up . brady : ca n't do it . i told you i love her . i love her . you and dad , you always told me that when you 're in love , being in love meant that you had to accept some sacrifices . you always told me that . marlena : why does tate have to make the sacrifice ? you 're making the decision for him because he is too young to make it for himself . brady ... does nicole love you ? and if she does n't -- i mean , are you making the sacrifice for no reason at all ? brady : i guess that 's a chance that i 'm gon na have to take . [ dramatic music ] eduardo : i wan na thank you for saving my daughter 's life . chad : um , dario thinks that it 's my fault that she 's in here . eduardo : yeah , well , dario needs to be angry right now . it 's easier than facing the possibilities . we 're just very worried about gabi . chad : yeah , abigail and i are too . we were hoping that there would be some good news . eduardo : there 's nothing yet . just have to wait . chad : this was deimos . i ca n't prove it , but i know it . eduardo : yeah , yeah . we 're in the same position regarding that man . i will move on him eventually , but i do n't just want revenge . no , i wan na make sure that he is broken . i wan na see him in pieces . powerless . but to do that , i need proof . chad : i 'll get you the proof . eduardo : that 's good . i 'm glad we 're on the same page . she 's not breathing well . talking about putting her on a machine . you know , the thing is with that ...

'cause i - i talked to claire , and i 'm pretty sure she 's as against this marriage as -- as i am .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : okay , so ... give me the 411 . how do i get patrick , and how fast can i do it ? sami : well , you ca n't be impatient , chelsea . the worst thing you can do is act , you know , impulsively . chelsea : okay , so i play hard to get . is that it ? sami : well , not exactly . let me ask you something . does patrick know you have a crush on him ? chelsea : crush ? that sounds so juvenile . sami : okay , does he know you 're into him ? chelsea : no , i do n't think he does . should i tell him ? sami : what did i just say about being too impulsive ? chelsea : right . sami : rule number one -- do n't tip your hand . chelsea : well , do n't i want him to know i 'm , you know , into him ? sami : well , only when the time is right . and you have to be especially careful when there 's competition involved . i 'm assuming you 're not the only one interested in the irresistible mr. lockhart . chelsea : yeah , right . no , i 'm not . sami : yeah . so let 's see . who would your competition be ? jennifer deveraux , maybe ? hope brady ? billie reed ? chelsea : wow , how do you know that ? sami : never mind that . question is , which one of those she - wolves is your biggest rival ? and how are you gon na get rid of her ? [ scene_break ] patrick : i consider your mother a good friend . that 's all . abby : yeah , sure . patrick : what has gotten into you ? when i moved into the garage apartment , you and i , we got along great . it 's like we were buddies , you know ? now , i know it is no secret that the people in salem -- some of them , they just do n't like me . but you and your mom , you guys gave me a chance . and that meant the world to me . so what changed , abby ? i mean , did i do something to hurt you ? abby : no , not really . i still like you , patrick . patrick : good . i 'm glad to hear that . abby : when my dad did n't come home with my mom , it was the worst thing that ever happened to me . even worse than losing him the first time . patrick : i know . abby : and having you around , it helped . i felt safe and protected , and i still do , even though i knew you had kind of a shady past , as my dad would say . patrick : i thought we talked about that , abby . abby : yeah , well , i googled you and found lots of other crimes you are wanted for . patrick : look , i told you . somebody stole my identity . i am not responsible for all of those things . abby : i believe you . mom , aunt hope , and billie believe you , too , but my uncle bo does n't , and i doubt that john black or abe carver does , either . hey , that 's kind of interesting . patrick : what 's that ? that half of the people in salem think i 'm a criminal ? abby : no , that only the male half do . the women all think you 're innocent .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : so what exactly did you mean by getting rid of them -- hope , billie , and jennifer ? sami : oh , nothing criminal , if that 's what you 're thinking . chelsea : that 's a relief ... i guess . sami : anyway , let 's talk about who you should focus on first . now , as far as i can tell , hope brady 's still married to that jerk bo diddley . and then there 's jennifer , who 's still grieving for her dead husband . so , that leaves billie reed . i 'd say she 's the one you should focus on first . chelsea : she did try and get patrick to go with her to europe . sami : yeah . to search for her missing daughter . chelsea : why would he want anything to do with her ? her daughter is practically my age . that just says how old she is . sami : all those women are about the same age , chelsea . and they all have kids . maybe that 's their appeal . maybe patrick just likes kids . chelsea : you think ? well , i do n't have kids , so that would suck . sami : but you have other advantages over them . chelsea : like what ? sami : well , you 're young , you 're determined , you 're beautiful , and most important , you 've got me . chelsea : okay , keep talking . what do i do ? sami : you keep billie away from patrick . we 're starting with her , remember ? chelsea : okay , and do you know how i can do that ? sami : yeah . you might say i 'm an expert at keeping couples apart . [ thinking ] all you have to do is ask my sister . carrie and austin would probably be living miserably ever after to this day if it was n't for me . chelsea : okay , well , say i managed to get billie away from him . then what do i do ? sami : that 's when you make your move -- to finally get patrick into bed . [ scene_break ] patrick : well , that is the difference between men and women , abby . when a guy screws up , women are more likely to give him the benefit of the doubt . now before , you mentioned the dimeras . now , you know tony was blackmailing me , right ? i mean , that 's the reason i was on his payroll . abby : blackmailing you ? wow , for what ? patrick : nothing i wan na get into . abby : must have been pretty major if it got you to work for him . patrick : abby , i am no saint , and i have made more than my share of mistakes . which is why i wan na help you from making the same ones . abby : and how do i do that ? patrick : well , for starters , you could listen to your mom . abby : i should have known you were going there . all mom does is yell and criticize and give me the look -- the `` i 'm so disappointed in you `` look . it 's like i ca n't breathe . there 's such a thing as being overprotective , you know ? patrick : abby , your mom 's not perfect . she 's got a lot on her shoulders . but she is the one person who is looking out for your best interests . abby : i guess . patrick : they do n't make women any better than your mom , abby . she is a caring , wonderful person . abby : and there 's the proof . patrick : the proof ? abby : did you just hear yourself ? patrick , the way you talk about my mom proves that you 're interested in her , and not just as a friend . patrick : i am not interested in your mom that way . let 's say that i was anyway . would that be such a bad thing ? abby : it would be a disaster . no way could my mom get involved with you or anyone else . my dad 's coming back to us . [ scene_break ] billie : for the umpteenth time ... all i want is to find georgia . you have no idea how i ache -- physically ache to hold her . i 've missed her whole life . all i wan na do is talk to her , worry about her , joke around with her , do normal teenage stuff -- the kinda stuff that you do with abby . now , i know that you 're mad at abby because she 's been out late tonight , i even envy you that . can you possibly understand what i mean ? jennifer : yes , billie , of course i can . billie : i 've never pretended that i do n't love bo . i probably always will . but my only goal in life is to find georgia , and i 'll take all the help i can get . and i 'm sorry if that makes hope suspicious . but tell me the truth -- if you were in my shoes , would you refuse bo 's help if your child was missing ? jennifer : billie , no , i would n't . of course i would n't . billie : thank you . i know what some people think , jen , and i 'm not a mean person . i do n't go out of my way to hurt people . and that includes hope . jennifer : billie , then , please just let me ask you this . okay , you find georgia , and you bring her home , what happens to you and bo then ? [ scene_break ] shawn - d : i do n't have a death wish . hope : are you sure about that ? because we spoke to people who witnessed the accident , honey . they think you deliberately drove your bike into that tree . shawn - d : okay , well , they were wrong . i would n't do anything that stupid . hope : well , i did n't think you 'd drive your motorcycle through a church window , either , but you did . shawn - d : mom , that was very different . i was desperate . hope : what about tonight ? were you desperate again ? shawn - d : i just needed to get away so i could think , all right ? bo : yeah . you need to take a lot of time to do some serious thinking -- about your life and what you 're planning on doing with it . hope : honey , are you sure you 're okay ? shawn - d : mom , i 'm fine . really . hope : shawn , you could have a concussion , internal injuries . belle : see , that 's what i told him . i begged him to let me take him to the emergency room and call you . bo : let 's go . we 're going to the hospital right now . belle : i 'll come with you . shawn - d : are you all deaf ? i 'm not going anywhere . i am fine . hope : shawn - douglas -- bo : okay , okay . you 're fine . but you and i are going outside . we 're gon na have a little talk right now . shawn - d : and if i do n't , what ? bo : do n't push me , young man . [ scene_break ] billie : bo and me ? how can i answer that ? i 'm not a fortune - teller . what happens after we find georgia is up to him . jennifer : billie , we both know that bo will choose hope . we know that . billie : you 're probably right . jennifer : but that does n't mean you have to be alone . i mean , there 's a lot of wonderful men out there , billie . billie : oh , come on . jen , all the guys i meet all want casual relationships . you know , taking on a teenage daughter will require a very special kind of guy . jennifer : well , i believe there are men like that . i think there would be a wonderful stepfather out there for georgia . billie : you 're kidding me . all the guys i meet -- they all want a mommy , a nurse , a cook , a nanny -- oh ! and they all have to look like charlize theron , all together . jennifer : come on , billie , jack was n't like that . billie : no . no , he was n't . and neither is abe , or john , or bo . but they 're all taken . jennifer : well , what about patrick ? you know ... billie : oh , boy . you really are a good friend of hope 's , are n't ya ? jennifer : what ? what does hope have to do with this ? billie : because you are so desperate to get me away from bo that you 'd hook me up with the guy that you care about . jennifer : what ? billie , patrick is a friend . i told you that . billie : yeah , a friend that could very easily become more than that . come on , admit it . jennifer : you think i 'm interested in patrick ? billie : i 've seen the way you look at him . jennifer : then you are seeing something that is not there . there is only one man that i have ever cared about . and that is jack . billie : i do n't believe you , jen . jennifer : billie , i am not interested in patrick romantically . and i do n't appreciate the insinuation that i 'm lying to you . billie : yeah , okay . i 'd like to bring up a little river in egypt . it 's called denial . jennifer : billie reed , will you stop it ? now , do n't get me wrong , i do . i like patrick so much . he has done so much for me and my family . but that is what i feel for him . i feel friendship , and i feel gratitude . billie : look , i know how much you love jack and how much you miss him . jennifer : okay , so then why are we even talking about patrick ? billie : because you ca n't cut yourself off from the rest of the world . it 's not fair ! it 's not fair to abby or jack jr. and i know that jack would n't want you to be alone for the rest of your life . jennifer : you know what , billie ? i have to admit to you , sometimes i do -- i get really lonely . but in no way , shape , or form am i ready to move on . and even if i was , it 's like you said , where am i gon na find a man who 's gon na take on the added responsibility of raising someone else 's children ? i have two children . who wants to take that on , really ? billie : well , it would have to be somebody who was strong , confident -- somebody who 's not intimidated by smart women , someone who 's loving , and who loves children . hmm . maybe patrick ? jennifer : billie , you know , i see what you 're doing . and you know what ? you have summed up his assets very well , which is why i think he would be perfect for you . [ scene_break ] patrick : you really think your dad 's coming back to you ? abby : he has to come back . he just has to . patrick : look , i understand why you want to believe that , abby . but you have to understand , that is impossible . abby : i never got to say goodbye . patrick : and that 's why you ca n't let go -- because they never found your dad ? abby : i said goodbye once . i saw his body . he was n't dead then . how can he ever be dead now ? how can i believe it ? patrick : abby , look at me . i know how much you loved your dad , and i know how much he loved you . but he 's gone , abby . abby : do n't say that . patrick : i know you do n't wan na hear that , but you have to . you have to be realistic here . abby : look , i know you 're trying to help , but my father 's alive , okay ? and that 's why you can not get involved with my mom . imagine if dad came back and found mom hooked up with you . patrick : i do n't wan na hurt you , abby , you know ? you and your brother have come to mean a lot to me . abby : that 's true . patrick : it is . abby : okay . if you really want us to be friends , and you want me to respect you , then you have to stay away from my mother . i 'm serious , patrick . promise me . she 's off limits to you . patrick : abby -- abby : promise ! or are you just pretending to be friends with me to score points with her ? patrick : you know that 's not what i 'm doing . abby : then swear . patrick : i swear . abby : thank you . patrick : okay , now that we got that settled , we better get home before your mom calls the militia . abby : she already did -- you . [ scene_break ] chelsea : okay , so now , here 's the big question . how do i get patrick into bed ? sami : yeah , there 's lots of ways . i once knew a girl who got a guy into bed by drugging him . chelsea : eh , i 've already drugged him once . sami : what ? you did ? chelsea : yeah , i slipped some stuff in his beer at the cheatin ' heart , disguised myself , and , uh , we danced . sami : wow . you got nerve , chelsea . i 'll say that much for you . chelsea : i was able to get him to kiss me , too . sami : wow ! sami would be proud of you . chelsea : who ? sami : sami brady ? chelsea : the name sounds familiar , but ... sami : well , she 's the one i was telling you about . she should be your role model . chelsea : wait , is n't she that woman that was caught in bed with her ex the night before her wedding ? sami : that was not her fault . chelsea : how could something like that not be her fault ? sami : sami was set up , and a lot of people are gon na pay for what they did to her . believe me , sami 's gon na get back at all her enemies . chelsea : is she , like , your best friend or something ? sami : pretty much my only friend . and she did not deserve what happened to her . chelsea : okay , whatever . do n't have a cow . so back to patrick and i , i like the advice you 're giving me right now , but what if i need more ? how do i get in touch with you ? sami : not to worry . i 'll be watching you and helping you every step of the way . now you better get going . it 's late . chelsea : oh , my god , you 're right . sami : just remember , the key to making it with patrick is to eliminate the competition -- starting with billie reed . [ scene_break ] billie : trust me , the last thing on my mind right now is finding a man . the only thing i want to find is my daughter . jennifer : billie , i completely understand . i wish patrick would get home with mine .

[ cellular phone rings ] sami : yeah , i can talk . mm - hmm , left a few minutes ago . she took the bait . chelsea 's all primed to go after billie reed . everything 's working out the way you wanted , but i ca n't help asking why -- hello ? hello ?

[ scene_break ] lexie : in my work - up on you , i did some genetic testing and discovered something disturbing . you and austin ... share a genetic marker that could be problematic . carrie : meaning ? lexie : meaning if you have a child together , there 's a high probability that he or she might have a genetic syndrome causing severe birth defects that could even be life - threatening . carrie ... from a medical point of view , austin is the last man you should conceive a child with .

[ scene_break ] john : what 's the matter ? you do n't like it ? marlena : you were right when you said you were n't remembering . if you were , you would have known that things like this do n't really matter to me . john : what woman does n't love diamonds ? marlena : this woman ... especially when they 're being used as a bribe . john : it 's a gift . a bribe is giving someone something when you expect something in return . marlena : you mean , like the customs agent who was delaying and impounding the kiriakis shipments . john : i do n't know what you 're talking about . you 're not keeping it ? come on . i read somewhere that diamonds are a girl 's best friend . marlena : my best friend has always been my husband . and right now , i miss him more than ever .

[ scene_break ] hope : tell me your story , ava . ava : what ? you doubt that patch really loved me ? hope : no , i - i just think he was really confused at the time , did n't know who he really was . ava : no , but he knew who i was , and he promised that he would love me and that we would be together forever . steve : [ sighs ] ava : [ sighs ] oh , that was wonderful . steve : oh , yeah , baby . mmm . [ exhales deeply ] well , the old man would kill me if he knew i was here . ava : [ laughs ] that 's , uh , half the fun , is n't it ? steve : yeah . it does kind of make it a little more exciting . ava : oh , it could n't be . steve : i love you , baby . ava : make an honest woman out of me . steve : i do n't think daddy would approve . ava : ooh , i do n't care what daddy thinks . steve : i know you do n't ... care , but your daddy cares ... about what you do ... and who you do it with . ava : and what he does n't know ca n't hurt us . steve : what he finds out could hurt me . ava : are you worried ? are you worried about what he might do to you ? steve : i 'm worried he 'll -- i 'm worried he 'll keep us apart . ava : then marry me . and he 's not gon na have a choice . steve : what about that big wedding you always wanted ? ava : oh , baby , i want you so much more . ava : he loved me more than anyone ... and he will again .

[ scene_break ] john : so , what exactly are you telling me ... that all this means nothing ? marlena : i 'm sorry you went to all this trouble ... and expense . john : and i think you 're playing hard to get . marlena : john , you ca n't buy my forgiveness , not the way you bought the customs agent . john : you 're not gon na let that go , are you ? marlena : not until you are truly sorry for what you did . john : i did n't do anything . but even if i did , what 's the problem with spending money to make money ? is n't that the way the game is played here ? marlena : it 's wrong ... not to mention immoral and illegal . you 've got much better ways to spend your money . john : yeah , like how , buy you matching earrings and a bracelet ? [ scene_break ] max : ouch . that 's not the reaction i was looking for . stephanie : i 'm sorry . but `` i feel strongly about you `` ?

[ scene_break ] hope : you did say you were gon na call steve and get him here , did n't you ? ava : why are you so anxious ? hope : because once you see how much steve truly loves me and how excited and committed he is to this baby , you 'll finally come to your senses and let me go . ava : you really think that 's gon na happen ? hope : i know it is . ava : oh , you 're in for a rude awakening . hope : ava , look , i do n't want to upset you . really , i do n't . i just want to get back to my life . ava : yeah , well , then we both want the same thing . only we both ca n't have the same thing , so we 'll see who gets what she wants . hope : yes , we will . but first you got to make the call . you got to get him here .

[ scene_break ] jennifer : um ... i 'm confused because i feel like when you got here , you gave me the impression that you needed to move on because you saw me with daniel , and you realized that he loved me and that you had lost him , right ? chloe : hmm . i guess i did blurt something out to that effect , but i did n't mean it was a done deal . we still have some very important things we need to work out . jennifer : like what ? chloe : like parker . [ scene_break ] vargas : sir , i spent my years in prison trying to turn my life around . i was -- yes , sir , i understand that . and if i was hired on a trial basis , then you could -- right . thanks ... for nothing !

jennifer : i heard anne leave that message on theresa 's voice mail basically implicating her . daniel : i 'm sorry . jennifer : it 's all right . i mean , at least nothing else has happened . maybe theresa thought she pushed too far and then lost her nerve . maybe the little games are over . liam : i 'm not interested in anything you have to offer . theresa : you do n't even know what it is . liam : i told you , i do n't hate daniel and jennifer . i wish them nothing but the best . theresa : stop wasting my time , will you ?

aiden : oh ! now that 's a real labor - saving device right there . that is -- kayla : it is , yeah . yeah , it is . and , um , and one of those , um , you know , things that peel apples . aiden : really ? kayla : yeah . aiden : but , um , what made the noise ? kayla : uh , the wind chimes . aiden : the wind chimes ? kayla : yeah . you know what , it 's ridiculous . and you know what , maybe , if i 'm lucky , everything broke and i can just go get them a gift card , because they would probably like that better anyway . aiden : no , no , no , no . look , if the bride and groom registered for all that stuff -- kayla : it 's a groom and groom . aiden : i 'm sorry ?

[ both chuckle ] daniel : now here 's a thought . have you told kayla that you think theresa did that stuff ? jennifer : i thought about it . daniel : because she will take care of her . jennifer : yeah , but i do n't have any proof , honestly . i mean , and if i go after theresa and she feels cornered , i 'm afraid that she 's gon na do something to hurt jj . daniel : yeah , or brady . jennifer : exactly , yes . daniel : well , you know what ? i think i set her straight , so -- jennifer : set her straight ? daniel : well , she came roaring in here saying that she had some good news for you and me , but i knew it was all a bunch of bull . she was just saying that to get in the door , but i told her , i said , `` if you cause any more trouble , you will have to deal with me . `` jennifer : daniel , you went after her again , today ? daniel : i sure as hell did . liam : how 'd you get a key to jonas 's apartment ? theresa : it 's a long story . i knew it would come in handy someday , though . mm , imagine the trouble you could cause for daniel and little jenny if you could get into his apartment whenever you wanted . liam : i do n't know what you 're talking about . theresa : suit yourself . do whatever you want with it . i 'm not going to say anything to anyone . liam : wait . eric : kristen wanted to get back at your dad and my mom , and she did . i 'm not in the priesthood anymore , and you 're ... brady : what am i ? what am i ? huh ? eric : the worst part about this whole thing is that you think that i betrayed you with the woman that you loved . and there 's no way that i can prove that you 're wrong . brady : when i think about kristen and me sitting in your office talking about how much we loved each other and you sitting there and nodding approvingly , it makes me sick . eric : well , maybe we 'll never get past this . brady : maybe we wo n't . eric : but i see you standing here and you 're hurting ! i want to be here for you . brady : i 'm good . i 'm fine . i do n't need your pity . eric : kristen is the one who hurt you . she hurt me too ! be mad at her ! brady : i 'm not mad . you seem to be doing fine . you landed on your feet . eric : what is that supposed -- brady : look at you . come on . you got a new profession . you got people tripping over themselves wanting to hire you and give you work . and you got a new girlfriend , huh ? you know , brother , you may have fallen out with the church , but women are still falling into your bed . eric : stop it ! hope : i 'd like you to come down to the squad room and read over the statement you gave the night you and daniel confronted dr. chyka . nicole : i 'm sure it 's fine . i told you everything i know . hope : it 's just a formality . nicole : look , chyka got away . there was nothing i could do to stop him . hope : i know . look , i get it . come down to the station at your convenience and sign your statement . then i can be done with the paper work . nicole : and that 'll be it ? hope : right . unless , of course , you 've remembered something else you want to add . justin : thanks , sonny . i 'm honored . sonny : thank you . we 're also asking lucas and will 's great - grandmother to speak as well . justin : oh , it 's a great idea . i mean , caroline has seen so many changes in her life , and she 's always been ahead of the curve . so any pointers on what you want me to say ? sonny : uh , no . we just want everyone to remember the day for what it is -- the happiest day of our lives . justin : the first of many . lucas : so you and sonny , are you guys going on a honeymoon ? will : mm . the timing is not great . we 're thinking sometime this summer . which reminds me , i need to change . t is planning a bachelor party for us . lucas : all right , all right . whoa , wait . should n't you each have a party of your own ? that way you can get a discount . you know , two bachelors for the price of one . will : ba - dum - bum ! lucas : that 's right . i might use that one . look out . will : okay , well , i 'm gon na kick you out right now before you get more material for your jokes , so ... lucas : ah ! come on , come on , come on . all right , wait , wait , wait . this actually is not a joke . now i know your mom and i , we did n't give you the best example of how a marriage should work . but we 're sure hoping you and sonny can show us how it 's done . will : thanks . come here . lucas : all right , i love you . will : i love you too , dad . lucas : i 'll see you later . will : yep , all right . lucas : call me if you need anything . will : okay . everything 's coming together . this wedding 's gon na be perfect . nicole : eric and i just want to put the past behind us and focus on the future . hope : i understand . nicole : i blame myself for chyka getting away . and i have no doubt in my mind that he could have cleared eric 's name . hope : you did everything you could ... nicole : yes . hope : right ? nicole : i did . and eric should n't have been forced to leave the priesthood . he should have had a choice . it was n't fair . i worked with him every single day . i know how important his vocation is to him . hope : and it does n't help that the people that took that from him seem to have gotten away with it . nicole : yes . look , eric ... he 's made peace with what happened to him . i believe that . he just wants to move forward with his new life . hope : good . nicole : i need you to know that he says he can find happiness and satisfaction in other ways . hope , he truly is an inspiration . eric : i thought i was gon na be able to get through to you . i see i was wrong . i also thought , maybe ... you can go home again . the idea of being with my family ... seeing each other all again ... sounded pretty great to me . i have no pity on you . i still love you like a brother . so no matter how angry you are or how much you think you hate my guts ... i think you still love me too .

[ knock at door ] daniel : come on in . eric : hey , i 'm sorry to bother you . i was just looking for jennifer . daniel : ah , she just left . eric : not a problem . it 'll keep till tomorrow . actually , i wanted to say i was sorry about ruining your party last night . daniel : ah , no , you did n't ruin it . actually , nicole already apologized . it sounds like you two worked things out , and that 's the important thing . eric : right . daniel : seems like it 's getting pretty serious . eric : it is . daniel : is something wrong ? eric : i do n't think you could understand . daniel : sorry , man . did n't mean to butt in . eric : no , no , you 're not . it just has n't been a great day . that 's all . maybe i should talk to somebody . daniel : well , there you go . look , i 'm no preacher , man , but look , sit down . have a seat . eric : i , uh ... i told nicole i wanted to marry her . now i do n't know if i can go through with it . hope : i 'm really looking forward to this wedding . kayla : yeah . hope : it 's just so great . i mean , it 's so wonderful when two really good people find each other in this crazy , old world of ours , is n't it ? kayla : i know . is n't that true ? hope : yeah . kayla : hey , you know , speaking of good people , i - i just ran into aiden jennings . hope : really ? kayla : yeah . you know him , do n't you ? what do you think of him ?

eric : [ sighs ] not yet . daniel : well , she 's taking that marriage idea and is sort of just running with it . eric : yeah , i think i need to sit her down and talk to her about it . daniel : i do n't mean to tell you what to do , but i think the sooner you talk to her , the better . jennifer : jj has been doing his community service . he 's been keeping his grades up . so , i mean , i just ca n't thank you enough for not turning him in . am i just completely boring you ?

sonny : no , she was fishing for info . she wanted to make sure that your mom was n't speaking either . and she was like , `` oh , you know , my feelings are n't hurt . just that your father and will 's father and caroline brady are speaking at your wedding and not your own mother , `` but she said it 's gon na be wonderful and it 's gon na be fine . will : [ laughs ] wow . i mean , i wish mine had been that subtle . basically said that if your mom opened her mouth that my mom said she would have a speech prepared . sonny : huh . well , they must be acting like that because they love us so much , right ?

kayla : well , i do know ava 's history . i was a witness to it . but if you do n't want to hear it ... tripp : i want the truth . kayla : the truth is that ava was not only lethal but certifiably insane . she was extremely jealous that steve and i were together . she became so obsessed and consumed with that jealousy that she orchestrated a plane crash that killed my father . tripp : no way . kayla : and then she kidnapped steve and a woman that she thought was me but it turned out to be my sister - in - law hope . tripp : this is too twisted to be true . kayla : well , hope works for the salem police department , so if you do n't believe me , you can check with her . and i 'm sure she would confirm the fact that ava finally did succeed in kidnapping me . tripp : great . so both my parents are psychotic . kayla : your dad did what he had to do to protect certain people . but he is not psychotic . and he 's not a murderer . in fact , he 's the best man that i 've ever known . tripp : and my mother was a walking nightmare -- according to you , anyway . kayla : i 'm afraid that 's true . tripp : yeah , but how do i know ?

[ chuckles ] i gave him a taste of his own medicine , i suppose . abigail : no ! chad : it was a small taste ! w - wh - wha -- i did n't throw him in a meat locker for a couple of days or kidnap someone he loves and poison them , which i think shows a great deal of restraint on my part . abigail : this is not funny . chad : no , you 're right , it 's not funny ! [ object clatters ] chad : but he had to be told in terms that he could understand that you do n't get to mess with my family and get away with it . abigail : okay , so , what , you 're gon na retaliate ? and then the next thing we know , he will , and then you will and then he will , and it 's a stupid thing that 's just gon na go on and on and then i wake up and all of a sudden , someone 's dead !

[ both laughing ] brady : well , nice to meet you , scooter . hillary : oh , uh , freddie , i actually thought that you two might have something in common , you know , being a chemical engineer and all . scooter : no , i actually teach a class : `` math theory for the applied sciences . `` love to get your input on that .

[ lightly edgy music ] nicole : oh , and ... and you 're okay with that ? hillary : no . but it 's , uh , better than the alternative . i would never put up with him cheating on me . nicole : yeah , well , uh , good for you . hillary : he thinks i do n't know what he 's doing , but come on ... i 'm a cop . nothing gets past me . [ soft music ] chloe : i 'm a little upset , okay ? maggie : yeah . i see that . what 's wrong ? chloe : what is n't ... wrong ? wait a minute . you do know about brady , do n't you ? maggie : no , what ? chloe : [ sighs ] well , brady 's gone off into the sunset with nicole . they 're living the life in canada . maggie : oh . ha . i had no idea . chloe : yeah , well , part of me is really angry ... and then a part of me is kind of relieved . maggie : why ? chloe : because i do n't trust nicole to keep holly safe . but i do trust brady . but now that deimos is out for blood , god knows where this is all gon na end up .

[ exhales ] well , you were worried ... about deimos in holly and nicole 's life . well , he is no longer in their life , and he never will be . chloe , is n't it time to compromise ? i mean , it may be the only way that you get to see that little girl again . i want my granddaughter back as much as you do . i know you love holly . and i know you want her to have the best life possible , but ... whether or not that happens is entirely up to you . hillary : this is so much fun . l - let 's keep the party going . come on over for dinner . brady : oh , our ... our kids are a little too young to go for a dinner party . hillary : then we 'll bring the dinner party here . what do you say ? bridget ? nicole : well , i mean , is n't it a lot of work ? hillary : i do n't care how much work it is . you know , that way , i wo n't have to listen to him go on and on about algorithms over a plate of meat loaf . come on , pythagoras , we got shopping to do . scooter : right . hillary : see you later . scooter : damn it . i know i 've seen you someplace . hillary : how ? you never even leave the house . brady : they are so much fun , i ca n't wait for dinner . oh , it 's gon na be so great . nicole : okay , do you have any idea what she said to me about scooter ? brady : it probably was n't very flattering . nicole : he watches porn . that 's where he 's seen me before . brady : wow . hillary 's full of a lot of information , is n't she ? nicole : it 's not funny , brady . brady : no , it 's not -- okay . listen , look at me . it 's not funny , but it 's not serious either . i know that was not a good time in your life , but it was years ago -- do n't worry about it . nicole : what if he finds out i was misty circle -- brady : he 's not gon na find -- da - da - da . nicole , if he was watching porn , probably was n't paying too much attention to your face , okay ? nicole : okay , well , then maybe he saw the amber alert . brady : if -- [ sighs ] then the -- then the cop would have picked up on it , right ? she 's a police officer . i do n't think the amber alert was here in canada . it was exclusive to salem . nicole : [ softly ] okay . i hope you 're right . i really do n't like mixing it up with them . brady : look , i do n't find them to be a heck of a lot of fun either , but i do n't think we can afford to freeze them out either . we have to appear like a nice young family that 's new to the neighborhood , and honestly , nicole , honestly ... being a nice young family does n't sound too bad to me right now .

ben : i want to work . i want to take care of you . i want to be the kind of guy that can take care of himself and the ones that he loves . i want us to build a life together with the ups and the downs . i want -- i want a real life with you . ciara : mm . my parents were bigger than life . they had adventures and romance and beautiful , beautiful weddings , tons of them , in fact . they had a lot . ben : tons . ciara : yeah . you know , sometimes when i miss my dad , i like to think about the little stuff . like there was this one time where they were at the kitchen table , and they were arguing about whether to lease or to buy a car , and they were just -- just listening to each other , and they were laughing . i would really like to talk about stuff like that with you someday . ben : tomorrow 's back to the real world . ciara : mm . as long as i 'm with you , ben weston , even the real world sounds just amazing . ben : sounds pretty amazing to me too . ciara : mm . ben : perfect , in fact . ciara : mm - hmm . ben : perfect . ciara : mm . kayla : i am also so grateful for you love and support . you have no idea how much it has meant to me to have you in my life this year . in fact , i do n't think that i could have even gotten through it without you . what ? where did you go ? what ? justin : kayla , i know we 're good together and that we love each other , but i also know you are very scared that something bad is gon na happen to steve . and i think we need to talk about what if it all works out for the best ? kayla : i 'm not -- i 'm not following you . justin : here , sit down . i 've been thinking about this since i saw hope the other day . look , rolf removed the microchip , and now hope is hope again , and thank god for that . but what if steve is steve again ? kayla : well , i -- well , first of all , we had to drive a hard bargain to get rolf to even perform the operation . i -- i really do n't think that he would go along with operating on steve . i mean , he knows that if he does that operation , it will erase stefano dimera from the planet . justin : well , maybe he wo n't do it willingly , but we ca n't ever stop trying to bring steve back . kayla : we ? justin : he 's adrienne 's brother . he 's stephanie and joey 's father . he 's a human being , for god sake . we ca n't give up on him . we have to do whatever it takes to bring him back . but i have to be honest . i am scared as hell that if we do i 'll lose you .

marlena : yeah , he always does . thank you for coming with him . looks like you literally took a bullet for him . brady : yeah . well , hey , you know , considering the way i treated you in high school , i figured i owed you one anyway . marlena : oh , i think the way that you treated your stepmother was completed age - appropriate . brady : no , you 've never treated me like anything other than a son . you 're my mom , and i love you . marlena : mm , i love you too . easy , easy , easy , easy , yeah . mmm . john : he 's all yours , abigail . kristen : lucky you . abigail : spare me , kristen . kristen : well , this has been one hell of a night , fairy - tale wedding meeting `` invasion of the body snatchers . `` abigail : i 'm sorry . do you think this is funny ?

brady : yeah . she also said to him that you and she despite all the history that you 've had that you were willing to let it go or make amends and -- for my sake anyway . marlena : and for mine . brady : and i -- i thank you for that . i just truly believe that she has seen how crazy her father was and how crazy her family was and in turn how crazy she was . and i know i push this subject on you a lot , and i 'm sorry about that , but i 'm really -- i 'm really hoping that you and my father can someday see kristen as the woman that i know she is now . marlena : how about one day at a time , shall we ?

it 's just not worth it . cassie : that 's it ? no threats , no giant lectures ? john : i think a lot of things are still kind of new to you , so my take on all this is that you probably got inebriated because you did n't know any better , because you succumbed to curiosity , peer pressure , whatever . just from now on , try to be a little more careful , all right ? cassie : i will . i promise . john : if it 's all right with you , i 'd like to take her home . abe : i think you 've learned your lesson . cassie : yes , i have . i promise . john : all right , let 's get out of here . cassie : thank you so much . tony : well , what 's going on here ?

i want to be with my mother . jennifer : ooh . all right , you know , i 'm going to , uh , call vern and jo and make sure abby went to sleep already . jack : no , no , no , no , no , no , no , you ca n't call them . it 's after midnight . they 're asleep . jennifer : who are you calling ?

i am creating -- i am creating your very own club echelon . jack : you 've created the upper echelon . but you need to know something . having a woman -- any woman -- just wait on me hand and foot is really not all that appealing . jennifer : oh , no ?

shawn - d : no . no , they said they were going to leave if i were to jump in the pool . that was the dare , so i did , but after i jumped , they decided it was a perfect reason to keep the party going , so everybody followed me back to the room and stayed the night . belle : i 've heard enough . shawn - d : no , it 's the truth . belle : no , shawn , the truth is that you jumped at a chance to party with some sexy cheerleaders because you 've been bored with me and my stupid days - of - the- week panties . shawn - d : what -- bored ? i - i told you , i was thinking of you the entire time . belle : yeah , shawn , but you did n't tell me about this party . shawn - d : because i did n't think it was important . belle : no , no , you did n't think i 'd understand because you think i am this straight - laced goody 2-shoes bore . shawn - d : no , i - i do not think -- belle , oh , are you kidding me ?

( gentle acoustic guitar music ) [ scene_break ] mimi : is he in there ? lucas : no . mimi : then why 'd you just say `` oh , my god `` like that ? lucas : because it 's sami 's wedding dress ... the dress she did n't wear down the aisle because i caught her with brandon the night before our wedding . [ scene_break ] sami : come on , brandon . tell them . tell them that you know kate set us up . brandon : i wish i could , samantha . but the fact is i ca n't say for sure because there is no proof . all i know is i woke up naked with you in my bed , and i still have no idea how you got there . sami : but i do n't have any idea either . so how do you explain that ? brandon : look , i agree that it seems like a setup , and , yes , i did think kate was probably the top suspect . sami : what do you mean you did think ? brandon : look , i know she has plenty of motive . but the more i hear and the more i think about it , the more it seems impossible that she or anyone else could have pulled this off . sami : oh , come on . with kate there is always a way . i mean , all right , i have n't gotten it all figured out yet myself , but i do know that it has kate roberts written all over it . [ scene_break ] kate : this is just so pathetic . it 's so pathetic . not only have you broken my son 's heart , now you 're trying to turn him against me . ca n't you see what she 's doing ? she is so determined to destroy our family . she wants to turn you and she wants to turn will against me . you need to tell her it 's just not gon na happen because i had nothing to do with this . i was with john all night , except for the short time that i was here . and if you need further proof , you can ask brady , you can ask john , you can ask the private duty nurse because they can all confirm it . sami : this ca n't be true . lucas : sami , just give it up , will you ? sami : oh , come on , lucas . how can you believe her over me when all she 's ever wanted is to tear us apart ? lucas : i told you so many times . i told you the only person capable of ruining our chance at future happiness was you . damn it , i do n't know if you walked into a trap or not . all i know is -- is you decided to go see brandon the night before our wedding . you did that of your own free will , sami . nobody forced you to do it . and now you got no one to blame but yourself . i do n't wan na talk about this stupid dress anymore . sami : sorry . lucas : bad memories are hard , but the good ones are even harder . i ca n't believe it to think that we almost made it . we almost got it right . sami : lucas , of course i 'll marry you . [ applause ] [ scene_break ] sami : and look at this . look how cute the last ingredient is -- `` a whole lot of love . `` how sweet is that ? lucas : that is sweet . i think we got that ingredient covered , though . do n't you , huh ? sami : i love you , lucas . lucas : i love you , too . mm , thank you . sami : lucas , i think this thanksgiving is gon na be perfect . and i wan na prove that i can be a good wife and mother . nothing can go wrong . lucas : if i 'd married sami , this would have been our home -- the roberts family home -- me , sami , and will . now it 's not gon na happen . that dream is just blown out of the water . [ scene_break ] lucas : mimi , you should learn from sami 's mistakes . i know rex really wants to marry you . mimi : he told you that ? lucas : yeah , brothers talk sometimes , you know . i 'm mean , i 'm just getting to know the guy myself . but i can already tell what a great dad he 'll be . sami : [ thinking ] rex 'll be a terrific dad to somebody else 's kids . you do n't deserve kids , meems , and you do n't deserve my half brother . not after what you did to your baby . and when i tell him the truth , you 're gon na spend the rest of your life alone .
