[ scene_break ] ej : so anna told me that she was gon na cover her tracks . apparently she did . but now my ex - wife is free , and she and anna , they seem to have this kind of connection . so you see , benny , i have to be very careful because i ca n't have any of this coming back on me . benny : mr. d , you can count on me , okay ? please do n't worry . ej : yeah . kind of the reason i 'm here , benny . i mean , lately it just seems you 've become somewhat of a ... a liability . benny : mr. d , i 've always been loyal , okay ? please . i would never give you up . you have to understand this , sir , please . [ scene_break ] rafe : so you and anna were partners . nicole : oh , yeah . we were quite the little team . rafe : is that right ? nicole : mm - hmm . rafe : so you were working together when sydney was kidnapped ? nicole : i bet that 's what you 'd like to believe , is n't it ? i mean , as long as i come up guilty , you 're buying it . no , rafe . the truth is anna and i were sisters - in - law in a -- in a horrible , horrible family . we suffered together . that 's what made us partners . rafe : oh , right . you were -- you were sisters . so anna felt sorry for you being locked up , so she called the governor and had you pardoned . nicole : very good . looks like you 're figuring it out . now may i go ? rafe : no . no , you 're not going anywhere till you give me an honest answer , nicole . nicole : i 'm afraid i ca n't help you , okay ? so if you 'll excuse me ... rafe : sit down . you sit down , or i 'm gon na handcuff you to this damn table till you give me the truth .

[ scene_break ] adrienne : stephanie , i just think that once you gave that girl your word to give nathan the letter , that ... stephanie : i know . i know . should have given nathan that stupid letter . instead , i made a decision , a selfish one , that was only best for me . what was i supposed to do ? here melanie is , marrying my ex - fiancé , and she 's still hung up on nathan . adrienne : not a very classy move , i agree . stephanie : no , melanie is anything but classy , and that is why i decided not to show nathan that letter . but ... adrienne : but ? stephanie : nathan found out about the letter . adrienne : does he know what 's in it ? stephanie : no . and that he can never find out . [ scene_break ] melanie : i wrote to you on my wedding day . i wanted to say i 'm sorry for all the problems that i 've caused us , you , and , you know , say good - bye . nathan : why the hell ca n't i get her out of my head ?

[ scene_break ] nicole : look , anna and i had a bond . we were both married to dimera men . rafe : please . sami told me you hated each other . nicole : how would she know ? she never saw us together . rafe : you were never together . nicole : all right , look . [ sighs ] i was relatively new into the household when tony died . and anna and i did n't spend a lot of time together , but we still had a connection . rafe : a connection ? nicole : yes . we got along , rafe . we had empathy for each other . and if anna took sydney , like everyone says she did , but nobody is proving , then i 'm sure she felt sorry that her sister - in - law was in prison for something she had done . and she probably felt guilty . rafe : so she took pity on you and granted you a pardon . nicole : that 's all i can figure . rafe : well , figure this , nicole . the real deal is that she got you out so that you would keep your mouth shut . but it does n't matter anymore . because we all know that it 's anna who kidnapped sydney , and you 've got your pardon , so why do n't you just tell the truth for once in your life and tell me where anna is ?

steve : oh . kayla : no . okay . i 'm sorry . steve : oh , come on , baby . we do n't know what 's gon na happen tomorrow , but we have tonight , and when the condemned man was asked what he wanted for his last meal , you know what he said ?

brady : [ sighing ] theresa : are you okay ? brady : yeah , no , i 'm -- i -- i do n't know . i 'm not sure . theresa : well , what is it ? what 's wrong ? brady : i do n't know . i feel like my heart just skipped a beat . no , it 's not -- it 's not -- hold on , it 's not pain . do n't panic . it 's not a heart attack . theresa : then what is it ? brady : i do n't know . i just felt really anxious just now for no reason . out of the blue . i feel anxious . theresa : i 'm gon na call the hospital . brady : no , listen , listen to me , the anxiety that i 'm feeling , i -- it came on before i felt anything in my chest . i do n't know what 's going on . theresa : ah , well , what are you worried about ? brady : i do n't know ... but , um , that 's just it . i do n't have anything to worry about . kate : mind telling me what this is all about ? deimos : well , hello , kate . champagne ? kate : is that why you summoned me , for a coupe de champagne ? deimos : you have a problem with champagne ? kate : no , i have a problem being summoned . what are you doing in victor 's house ? if he finds out , he 's going to be pissed . deimos : that 's not a problem . it 's no longer victor 's house . it 's mine . kate : [ laughs ] how much champagne have you been drinking ? deimos : not nearly enough . i 'm celebrating , and i was hoping you would join me . kate : i know how victor feels about this house , and he would n't sell it to anyone . especially you . deimos : he did n't sell it . he gave it to me . kate : huh . he would n't give you the time of day , much less this house . he loathes you . deimos : well , it was n't exactly voluntary . kate : what exactly did you do ? deimos : let 's just say i made him an offer . one which he could n't refuse . she 's dying , victor . she 's been poisoned . now you need me to help her , to give her the antidote . look at her , victor . she 's barely hanging on . hmm , wow . time is of the essence . it 's easy to establish how much she means to you . everything , right ? well , then , that 's the cost . everything you have . everything you own . that is the price for saving her life . victor : he 's gon na pay for what he did to you . i swear to god . fynn : i 'm glad you 're here . i have maggie 's latest blood screen . victor : and ? fynn : it shows that both the poison and the antidote have completely gone from her system . victor : that 's good , right ? fynn : that 's very good . we 're prepping her for surgery first thing in the morning . we need her to be as strong as possible . victor : how about her legs ? her spine ? fynn : well , the mri can be interpreted in different ways -- victor : damn it , do n't give me any of that doctor runaround . tell me the truth . is she gon na walk ? fynn : i know you want a definite answer . i just do n't have one right now . victor : why not ? you 've got the damn mri . fynn : an mri is a diagnostic tool . it 's a picture of a shadow . victor : shadow ? if it 's just a shadow , how the hell you gon na fix her ? fynn : unless you keep your voice down , we 'll have to talk outside . victor : i 'm not leaving her . fynn : okay , let me explain . the mri shows that your wife 's injury is in her thoracic vertebrae . the nerve area surrounding is a lot of scar tissue from a previous injury . we do n't know until we go in whether or not the nerve has the potential to heal . victor : so what you 're saying is , you have no idea whether she 's going to walk or not . fynn : that 's right , but i 'm not saying she wo n't . sir , do you know what your wife means to everyone at this hospital ? there is n't a person that 's not ready to go to the mat to make sure she gets the best treatment possible . we 're gon na do everything we can to get her walking again . victor : everyone loves her . everyone . fynn : we 're gon na take really good care of her . i promise . victor : you should see her dance . kate : there 's never been an offer that victor could n't refuse . deimos : well , you know what they say . there 's a first time for everything , right ? kate : well , especially not an offer from a brother he loathes . i feel like you 're lying to me . i do n't know why . deimos : what can i do to prove it to you ? would you like to see the deed to the house in my name ? the swiss accounts in my name ? or better yet , the shipping fleets , yet again in my name . i 'll tell you what . why do n't you go upstairs ? check out the monogrammed towels in the bathroom . guess what initials are on them now ? kate : i 'm not going to believe a bit of this until you give me an explanation . i mean , what did you do ? did you arrange for victor to have a lobotomy ? deimos : what i arranged was for a little situation . i simply gave him an option -- love or money , and to his credit , surprisingly , he chose love . kate : that 's -- that 's kind of vague . that 's kind of vague , and you told me that you were done with that 30-year vendetta . deimos : i am . i swear to god . now that i 've won , i plan on being magnanimous . kate : yes , but how did you win ? victor did n't just hand over the keys to the castle . you had to have forced him into it . you had to have had his back up against the wall . deimos : that is a concise and astute assessment of exactly what happened . kate : okay , look ... you tell me what you did or i 'm going out that door and i wo n't look back . kayla : you know , steve , i just -- i - i just do n't really feel like joking around or making toasts . i -- i mean , this could be the last night that you -- you 're a free man , and i just -- i just feel like we should talk . steve : okay . you want to talk ? i 'll talk about anything but tomorrow . kayla : [ sighs ] steve : i just want to have some beer and some chili . talk about the good times . past and to come . because no matter what happens tomorrow , my life is not over , because i got you and stephanie and joe . that 's all i need . kayla : you 're incorrigible . steve : oh . you always start throwing around the big words when you 're ready to cave . kayla : [ giggles ] steve : so what do you say ? you gon na make this night about us ? and not about what that crazy woman did to us ? kayla : oh , there you go trying to get my irish up . presenting beer and chili like it 's an act of defiance . steve : i 'll take that irish any way i can get it . [ timer buzzing ] kayla : what 's that ? steve : corn bread . stevie 's little baby loves corn bread , corn bread stevie 's little baby loves hot corn bread stevie 's little baby ... kayla : you do n't play fair ! steve : stevie 's little baby loves hot corn bread deimos : i honestly want to tell you how i managed to best victor , of course i do . you tangled with him yourself . you knew what i was up against . kate : i know that he hates you . i know the confrontation had to be epic . deimos : surprisingly , it was a lot easier than i had thought . kate : really ? deimos : yeah . one of the things i 've always despised about my brother is that über greekness of his . you know what i 'm talking about . always referencing those greek gods and plays that nobody gives a damn about , but every once in a while , the greeks really know how to say it . kate : i think you 're going to go classical on me . deimos : mm - hmm . i discovered , to my delight , that after all these years , victor had developed an achilles ' heel . kate : so you went in for the kill ? deimos : victor 's strength has always been his staggering self - involvement . his utter disregard for anyone but himself . kate : i do n't know if i agree with that . deimos : what ? oh , his children ? please . i 'm sure brady and philip both know that if push came to shove , victor would cut them both loose and tell them it was for their own good , but maggie ... dear , sweet , lovable maggie , she made him vulnerable . she made him human . kate : so you used victor 's love for maggie against him ? deimos : mm - hmm . kate : how ? deimos : i poisoned her . fynn : thanks for that information . i 'll be in touch after surgery . theresa : hi , something 's wrong with brady 's heart . fynn : what ? theresa : can you please help him ? please . we offered women a mystery beauty treatment . it was just like a fynn : so when did the pain start ? theresa : uh , maybe about a half hour ago ? brady : no , it was n't pain . it was just like a fluttery feeling . fynn : was it a constant sensation or intermittent ? brady : uh , intermittent . just a couple times . theresa : yeah , but he agreed to come here , and usually when i ask him to go to the doctor , he fights me tooth and nail . fynn : something different about tonight ? brady : i ... i just feel anxious tonight . that 's all i can say about it . fynn : so far everything i 'm seeing here seems perfectly normal . brady : all right , then we 're good . false alarm , right ? fynn : i do n't want you to think of it like that . i want you to come in whenever anything feels off . brady : can i go home ? fynn : if you want . brady : all right . fynn : but you said you were feeling anxious and you do n't know why . brady : that 's right . fynn : well , i guess you do n't know . brady : do n't know what ? fynn : i 'm sorry to tell you this , but maggie 's had an accident . she 's here . your grandfather 's with her . brady : what did -- what the hell happened ? did she -- did she faint again , or what 's going on ? fynn : yeah , but this time it was on the stairs . she took a pretty bad fall . theresa : oh , my god . brady : all right , where are they -- i got to find her . i got to find them . theresa : brady . brady , wait . brady : no , you know what you need to do ? call , uh , call summer . let her know that maggie 's in the hospital . theresa : what ? we can call her in the morning . brady : no , call her now . theresa : we do n't even know how maggie is yet . brady : summer 's her daughter . just call her . theresa : yeah , yeah , thank you , i know that , but they 've got a lot of unsettled business and it could be stressful for maggie , you know , i think -- i think we should just see -- brady : you know what , theresa , you 're right , you 're right . there is unfinished business between them . that is why summer should be here . please , please . i 'm gon na go get victor . theresa : i do n't even have her number . brady : i put it in your phone . theresa : [ sighs ] [ phone beeps ] [ phone line trilling ] [ phone ringing ] summer : hello ? theresa : hey , uh , it 's theresa donovan . brady wanted me to call you . summer : is he all right ? theresa : yeah , he 's fine . [ clears throat ] listen , uh , there 's been an accident and maggie 's in the hospital . brady wants you to come over . summer : maggie ? what happened ? theresa : she fell down the stairs . summer : how is she ? theresa : i do n't even -- i do n't know , okay . i just got here , so listen , can i just tell brady that you 're coming ? summer : of course . theresa : okay , great . summer : theresa ? theresa : yeah ? summer : thanks for calling me . theresa : do n't mention it . [ phone beeps ] theresa : [ sighs ] kate : you tried to kill maggie because she 's victor 's achilles ' heel . deimos : it does sound kind of cold when you put it like that . kate : that does n't sound cold . it defines cold . it makes victor seem all warm and fuzzy . deimos : i think i need to remind you that victor 's the one who put all of this into motion 30 years ago . kate : a 30-year feud . sounds like the greek plays that he 's always talking about that always end with the stage strewn with bodies . speaking of bodies , so you tried to murder maggie . now did you succeed , or is she still among us ? deimos : no , she 's still with us , thank god . kate : you tried to kill her . your concern seems disingenuous . deimos : what ? i hold no animus towards the woman . in fact , i think she 's quite wonderful . she was simply a means to an end , that 's all . kate : a means to rob victor of all of his worldly goods . deimos : all right , look , i slipped a little something into her medication . at a critical moment , i offered to negotiate with victor for the antidote . kate : ah , your money or your wife . deimos : mm - hmm . she was lying there at death 's door . i stood there with the syringe in one hand and a portfolio with all of victor 's holdings in the other . he signed on the dotted line and now we 're all happy . kate : oh , i 'm sure he 's deliriously happy . do you really think he 's gon na take this lying down ? deimos : who gives a damn ? the man has been defanged . without all that money , he 's just another one . kate : victor will never be just another one . you know , i once poisoned a nasty piece of work who had her claws into lucas . deimos : wow , quite the devoted mother . kate : ended up that i was blackmailed into marrying stefano . [ sighs ] perhaps if i had had an antidote , i could 've dodged that particular bullet . deimos : are you telling me this marriage was n't exactly a love match ? kate : not at first , but after a while , we did get on . deimos : so ... you like powerful men with sizable holdings just like me . kate : yes , i do , but right now i only have your word on your sizable holding . deimos : well , you 're more than welcome to conduct a complete audit , if you like . come on , kate . i think you know me well enough by now to know that i 'm not a man who keeps secrets . that 's why i wanted to be completely open with you tonight . now if what i did to victor changes things with us , there 's nothing i can do about that . it 's done ... but i did think it was important for us to be completely open and honest with each other , do n't you ? shoulders . they do n't just carry backpacks . kate : you tell me that you 've poisoned a defenseless woman to steal her husband 's fortune . am i supposed to be disarmed by your honesty ? deimos : i do n't want to keep secrets from you . kate : because you 're such an open guy . deimos : you would 've found out anyway . kate : i agree . i always think honesty is the best policy when there 's no other choice . deimos : speaking of honesty , it 's important that you know that i was n't lying to you when i said i was gon na stop going after victor . kate : so what did you do ? did you cross your fingers behind your back ? deimos : no , no . i honestly tried to mend fences with victor . i was even willing to go more than halfway to meet him . all i wanted from him was an apology , an acknowledgment of what he did to me , and he blankly refused to offer me anything in return . kate : so you took everything he owns by poisoning the woman that he loved . deimos : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry if you hate me for what i did , all right ? i know that you and victor go way back . kate : we do . we go way back . we share a son . our lives are always going to be linked . deimos : i know , i know , and i know that you did not want me to go after him , but he left me no choice , kate , and all that time i knew that i was running the risk of losing you . kate : losing me ? you just sealed the deal . deimos : excuse me ? kate : i told you that stefano blackmailed me into marrying him . if anything matters to me , it 's my autonomy . my freedom . and he had me pinned like a butterfly in a display case , and victor laughed . he thought it was hilarious . he hated stefano with every fiber of his being , yet he thought it was funny that i was his slave . and now you have pinned him just the way that stefano pinned me . guess who 's going to have the last laugh . victor : she was going up the stairs to go to bed . she got dizzy . she fell . brady : she gon na be okay ? victor : she broke her back . brady : oh , god . victor : she 's going into surgery in the morning . brady : i 'm sorry . victor : this should 've never happened . brady : it 's not your fault . granddad , it was an accident . theresa : victor , i heard about maggie . i 'm so sorry . brady : granddad , is there anything you need ? anything we can do for you ? theresa : would you like to stay with us tonight ? victor : no , i 'm staying here all night . brady : all night , granddad -- victor : i 'm staying here . brady : all right . victor : i could do with a scotch and soda . brady : i 'll go to tbd . theresa : you know , i 'm gon na call emma and tell her we 'll be a while . victor : right . brady : i 'll be back . victor : my brother 's gon na pay for what he did . i 'm gon na make him wish he was never born . summer : is she gon na be okay ? victor : the hell are you doing here ? victor : what do you want ? summer : theresa called me to say that maggie was here . i wanted to see her . what happened ? victor : she fell . summer : you 're victor , right ? her husband ? victor : and you 're the opportunistic little grifter who crawled out of the gutter to bilk my wife . summer : look , i do n't know you , and you sure as hell do n't know anything about me . victor : i know everything about you , including your criminal record and your jail time . summer : i 'm not proud of my past , but that 's what it is , the past . victor : bull , a con is a con . your kind does n't change . why do n't you do yourself and my wife a favor and crawl back into the pacific where brady found you ? summer : i 'm not going anywhere . i was honest with maggie about my past and who i was . i am not leaving . especially not right now . victor : listen , gidget , you are leaving . either on your own or i 'll have you thrown out . summer : we should n't be talking like this . she 'll sense the tension . fynn : mr. kiriakis , we 're gon na run some pre - op tests . they take about an hour . i can organize a bed if you 'd like a little sleep . victor : no , that 's all right . actually , i have something i need to do . should n't take too long . kayla : i remember the first time you made this for me . steve : so do i . kayla : mm - hmm . steve : it was , uh , january , and you had to go to denver . kayla : i did n't have to go . you insisted . steve : i was right to insist , because you had won that award at the western nurse 's conference . you had to be there to pick that up . kayla : it was the western united states , and i did n't . i had a small baby at home . steve : we had a small baby at home , and she was fine with me , oh , kayla of little faith . kayla : i was a little worried about your domestic skills . steve : mm - hmm . i wonder why . kayla : but when i came back , the house was clean , the laundry was done , and the baby was n't broken . steve : yeah , i - i did good , did n't i ? kayla : you sure did . yep , and the chili was amazing . steve : i had hidden talents . kayla : mm , you know what my favorite part was ? steve : hmm ? kayla : was when i came home and you were dressed up as a badass cowboy . steve : well , i thought because you 'd won a western award , you 'd be in the mood for maybe , uh , a little cowboy action . a little giddy - up . kayla : it was n't western . steve : maybe a dance . kayla : i remember that country song that you played . steve : you do ? kayla : mm - hmm . steve : was it ... this one ? [ sweeping music plays ] kayla : that 's the one . steve : dance with me . kayla : let 's dance like there 's no tomorrow . [ romantic music ] these times are trouble and these times are good and they 're always gon na be they rise and they fall we take them all the way that we should together you and me forsaking them all deep in the night and by the light of day it always looks the same true love always does and here by your side or a million miles away nothing 's ever gon na change the way i feel the way it is is the way that it was when i said i do deimos : it sounds to me like you 're ready to use me to exact revenge against victor . kate : do you have a problem with that ? deimos : what do you think ? what do you take me for , a hypocrite ? kate : [ chuckles ] deimos : besides , i like unsentimental women . you know exactly where you stand with them . kate : i like unsentimental men ... with lots of money . deimos : i think you know your way around upstairs , right ? kate : it 's been a while . i think i 'll remember . deimos : i 'll tell you what , go up there , pick out a bedroom . any bedroom . kate : who says you ca n't go home again ? deimos : [ sighs ] victor : i will see you in hell for what you 've done to my wife . that 's what i had in mind that 's what i had in mind when i said i do steve : you know i love you and only you , sweetness . [ heart monitor beeping ] summer : i 'm so sorry . i ca n't help but feel that this is all my fault . [ sniffles ] i knew you were n't feeling well the last time i saw you , and i know ... i know i stirred things up for you . i wish i had n't told you all the things i did . it 's just so hard to think that i might lose you just when i found you . please ... please be okay . deimos : you made your choice , big brother . now get the hell out . this is no longer your house , remember ? you chose the love of a woman over all your worldly goods . that was n't a choice i had 30 years ago . you made sure of that . victor : this is not about the past . deimos : the hell it is n't . i loved helena , and you took her away from me , and then you took my life , my future , and then you could n't even find the words to say you were sorry . victor : i would n't lie to you about something so important to you . i was not , i am not , and i never will be sorry , but you will be for what you 've done to maggie . deimos : the hell are you talking about ? i gave her the antidote . she 's gon na be fine . victor : no , because of you , because of your -- your cowardice , your arrogance , your stupidity , maggie may never walk again . kayla : [ chuckles ] [ gasps ] oh . steve : mm , cold , baby . you should 've stayed in bed . kayla : i was restless . i ... and you were sleeping so peacefully , i ... steve : hmm . i feel peaceful . tonight was everything i wanted it to be . i wish we could stay like this forever . kayla : well , we ca n't . tomorrow 's gon na come no matter what we do . and i just ... i just want to tell you i love you . and i always will .

and these past couple of days , it 's like it 's gone -- the fight -- just when she needs it the most . like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . jennifer : i 'm just saying , if you can get me the public records on the drug dealer 's house , that i -- bo : h , , you should n't have a problem switching that deed into both your names once you -- kate : hi . bo : oh , hey . roman : hi . hope : hey . hi . jennifer : hey . roman : um , hope we did n't interrupt . bo : oh , no . jack and jennifer , they were just wondering if there were any new developments on that ben wells case . ca n't wait till we put a period on that story . roman : well ... enjoy your breakfast . jennifer : thank you . jack : certainly . jennifer : you know , i am so tired that i am desperate enough to scrounge up my own coffee . would anyone else like some ? hope : i 'll get you a cup . come on , i know where they are . jennifer : excuse me , jack . jack : yes , certainly . jennifer : thank you . jack : so , roman does n't know i 'm on this case , does he ? bo : roman does n't know i 'm on this case . and if he found out that i was leaking information to a member of the press ... jack : vultures -- all of us . i know . bo : he 'd have my badge . jack : oh , come on . roman would n't really do that to you , would he ? bo : yeah . jack : well , contrary to what they say about reporters , we do n't all spill our secrets . i promise you , jennifer and i wo n't breathe a word . hope : and i ca n't blame bo for not completely trusting roman to be on his side right now . jennifer : and , hope , believe me , jack and i do n't want to do anything to make the situation more tense . at least you got them talking again . hope : i did n't do much of anything . they 're brothers , you know . nothing will ever change that . you know , when you love someone enough , it 's not so hard to forgive , is it ? jennifer : do you know i could have saved myself a lot of heartache if i had realized that months ago ? no , years ago , that is . hope : yeah , but you were n't ready . but now you 're with jack all day at work , all night at home . jennifer : mm - hmm . hope : and any couple who could survive that can survive anything . god , i really miss working with bo . jennifer : that 's what you 're doing right now . hope : mm , kind of . i miss being in the trenches , you know ? jennifer : oh , yeah ? you did n't miss much last night , believe me . hope : you were there ? jennifer : well , i was n't invited . three 's a crowd , i guess . but when i showed up , i was quite welcome , because jack was being mauled by a working girl . brady : dr. wesley , with all due respect , i understand these treatments are supposed to make her tired , but chloe ca n't lift her own head . she ca n't keep her eyes open . craig : brady , we have been monitoring her vitals every two hours . she 's okay . brady : no , no , she 's not okay . she has a fever . craig : it was 98.7 10 minutes ago . there is no sign of infection . now , brady , i want you to listen to me . i understand it 's hard for you to see her like that , but this was our intent . we wanted to destroy her immune system and get rid of any other disease cells that might be there . the leukemia 's gone . we got it before she relapsed , and now her body is ready to receive the transplant and build new bone marrow . i understand that this is grueling and it 's brutal , but this is chloe 's best chance for a cure . everything is going exactly as we planned . bo : excuse me a second . jack : sure . nicole : about time . bo , hi , hi . bo : nicole . what are you doing here ? nicole : what do you mean ? did n't you expect to see me alone ? bo : alone , yeah , but not many millionaires hang out at my parents ' pub . nicole : actually , i 'm glad i ran into you . if you have a minute , i need to talk to you . bo : sounds serious . nicole : it is . nicole : i need you to know what your father 's been up to . man : everything looks good . craig : [ sighs ] oh ... nancy : is she awake ? man : uh , go on in . she 's waiting for you . craig : oh , thanks . thanks . come on , honey . nancy : thank you . man : mm - hmm . craig : come on . nancy : good morning , sweetheart . chloe : hey . craig : sweetie . hey there . how you doing ? chloe : all this counting down to day zero seems kind of anticlimactic , does n't it ? craig : yeah . chloe : i mean , they come in here , hang one more i.v . , and then after an hour it 's over . dr. herman says i ' probably sleep through the whole thing . how 's joy ? craig : she 's great . she 's just great , sweetie . chloe : i 'm so glad that she was n't poked with a single needle to do this for me . craig : core blood was harvested the moment she was born . she did n't feel a thing . and i 'm sure it 's gon na mean an awful lot to her knowing that she got to help her big sister out this way . chloe : i ca n't wait to see her again . all of you . craig : mm . chloe : craig , dr . herman would n't tell me how long it will be before we find out if the bone marrow is working . i hate it when doctors are so vague . craig : well , he was n't being vague , sweetheart . he was just telling you what he knows . we 're not sure . i mean , engraftment can take anywhere from a week to a month . the very fact that you and your sister were perfect matches on all six markers -- it 's a good sign it could be sooner , though . chloe : but you will tell me everything , right ? craig : this is your recovery , sweetheart . you are in charge . brady : like anyone could hide anything from you . nancy : ha ha . craig : now , d herman did tell you that there may be a few transfusions along the way while we 're waiting for your bone marrow to produce some new cells . it 's perfectly normal , okay ? chloe : okay . nancy : well , look , you must be tired . we should go . craig : yeah . chloe : no , i do n't want you to go . can i have some time alone with my mother ? i want to talk to her . craig : sure , sweetie . see you in a little while , okay ? come on , brady . jennifer : so then jack says to me , `` have i died and gone to heaven ? `` can you imagine , with this woman -- jack : and , of course , i had . oh . ahh . ow . jennifer : poor jack . are you okay ? do you still have a headache ? jack : i 'll have you know , i was assaulted . hope : yeah , sensory overload , huh ? jack : oh , please . come on , do n't laugh . i mean , come on , my jaw and my head are still hurting . hope : i 'm sorry . so let me guess . i assume that you ca n't go undercover there anymore , right ? jack : well , i - i 'm not -- [ cellular phone rings ] jennifer : oh . jack : on that note ... hope : saved by the bell . jennifer : saved by the bell . jack : all right . deveraux here . yeah . vern : jack ? jack : vern . vern : listen , i 'm over at television hill -- wdil . jack : yes ? vern : you and jennifer need to get over here right away . jack : what for ? vern : an emergency meeting . jack : of whom ? what kind of an emergency meeting ? vern : well , someone 's come bearing gifts from bill horton to you . jack : oh , great . should we bring along animal control ? vern : as long as you behave yourself , i do n't think that will be necessary . hurry up . jack : fine , fine , we 're on our way . good . jennifer : all right , what 's that ? what 's going on ? jack : another thrilling surprise from your father . jennifer : oh , no ! tell zack i 'll have to see him next time . give him a kiss for me . hope : sure thing . hey , good luck . jack : thank you . jennifer : thank you . hope : give me a call , okay ? see you later , jack . jennifer : what does vern have to do with this ? jack : i do n't know . i 'm just the messenger . jennifer : i 'm so scared , jack . jack : please . me too . roman : you ready ? kate : what ? i thought we were going to eat in . this is about bo , is n't it ? roman : well , my little brother never thinks i listen , but it 's pretty clear that he 'd prefer i not be here right now . kate : what would you prefer ? oh , roman , i thought things were better between you two . roman : so did i . bo : what about my father ? nicole : i overheard a conversation recently , and i am telling you , it was n't titan business he was discussing . now , obviously i was aware of victor 's reputation when i married him -- you know , his former association with organized crime and everything , but what i did n't realize was that he -- victor : how sweet of my devoted wife to be so concerned about her husband 's welfare . but she need n't be . victor : so you came to bo because you were concerned that i might be involved in something that could compromise my safety , huh ? nicole : i know what i heard , victor , and i think bo should know , too . victor : bo does know . you see , w was in contact with my former associates at bo 's request regarding his investigation into some recent gang activity . unfortunately , i did n't come up with anything of much use . i 'm sorry , bo . but i had no idea that nicole had overheard my conversation . but you can see how she might have jumped to the erroneous conclusion that i was in danger . is n't she something ? bo : yeah . thanks for trying to help . victor : oh , i have n't given up yet . bo : well , i appreciate that . could i talk to you in private for a second ? victor : of course . bo : i need to ask you another favor . victor : anything . bo : what can you get me on carson palmer ? victor : the d.a . ? bo : yeah . victor : what are you looking for ? bo : do n't know exactly . but i got a feeling i will when i see it . victor : well , i 'm sure you 're right . listen , i 'm no fan of the man who made it his personal mission to put my grandson behind bars . i 'll dig back to his days in diapers . bo : appreciate that . victor : well , the most satisfying breakfast in the world at the brady 's ' pub . we 'll leave you to yours in peace . oh , and i can assure you that you wo n't be troubled m my wife again . nancy : you 'll let me know if you get too tired . chloe : no , i want to hear about when you brought joy home from the hospital . nancy : ha ha . well , honey and sugar have appointed themselves her chief protector and guardians . they sleep underneath her crib . i think they 'd be in it if we were n't extremely vigilant . oh , gosh . and when we go on our walks , we have two leashes , one stroller , the baby -- we just ca n't wait for big sister to join us . oh , and your father has already got you signed up for diaper duty rotation . i think he 's got -- chloe : mom ... i 'm scared . nancy : oh , sweetheart . we 're here . jennifer : why do you think i 'm being summoned for your surprise ? jack : i do n't know . how about so you can be around and witness my massive heart attack ? i know . your father 's testing me . if the binturong did n't send me over the edge , he wants you to witness my complete and total emotional breakdown . jennifer : no , you 're not gon na have a nervous breakdown . you 're gon na be just fine . jack : no , of course i 'm not . i 'll be fine . jennifer : you 're fine . you 're fine . jack : are you ready to see what 's behind door number three ? jennifer : yes ? jack : all right . vern : hey , there you are . it 's about time . jennifer : vern . vern : come in , come in . come in . hi . jack : oliver . jennifer : harold ! oliver : hi - de - ho , deveraux . jennifer : you 're back . oliver : very astute . jack : she is that , yes . oliver : is n't that what i just said ? the best decision i ever made in my life was putting you in charge of my newspaper -- a sidelight being the most outstanding safari of my lifetime . and thank you for introducing me to your father -- a fascinating man . jack : he is that . oliver : of course , bill horton 's never taken the time to go on a kenyan safari . many nights , he would sleep and eat in his clinic -- if he slept at all . jennifer : yeah , i am aware of that . i 'm also aware of the generous contribution that you have made to his work with hiv and aids , and i thank you for that . oliver : well , someday i hope to do more . and someday i 'm sure your father hopes he can be closer to you and your family . family is what it 's all about , is n't it ? one of the many reasons i 'm pleased as punch about bill 's idea , and i 'm thrilled i can help it come to fruition . jennifer : this idea -- this is jack 's gift from my father ? jack : now , i know that i 'm not your favorite person , mr. wentworth . oliver : oliver . jack : and i know i 'm not bill 's favorite person , either . oliver : do n't look your gift horse in the mouth , jack . jack : horse , horse -- that 's it . horse byproducts . that 's bill 's dream idea of a gift for me . i know it . oliver : well , it better not be . he promised me it would n't be . i trust you to do for my tv station here what you did for my newspaper in a few short months . jack : what ?

chloe : please do n't let joy ever find out . i do n't want her to ever think that she did anything to fail me . hey , she 's my only chance . she 's our miracle . craig : so are you , chloe . so are you . hope : hey , nicole . hey , victor . victor : well , hope . hope : hi . victor : listen , i have been here for five minutes , and bo has n't showed me one single picture of zack . hope : well , you know what ? we can do better than that , because zack is upstairs playing candy cane lane with grandpa shawn . victor : ahh . wait till grandpa victor teaches him poker . hope : oh , dear , let 's have a talk . thankfully he 'll have to wait a few years for that . nicole : look , bo , you do n't understand . bo : no , you do n't understand . i do n't know what the hell 's going on between you and my father , and i really do n't want to know . victor and i do n't share the same code of conduct , but we 've reached an understanding . i do n't intend to make his business mine , so do n't try to play us against each other again , okay ?

harold : i 've got two words for you , jack -- tom brokaw . oliver : you 're beautiful people . make use of your assets . the public will eat you up . jack : or eat us alive . oliver : you could be salem 's answer to regis and kelly . ha ha . harold : perfect . hope : i 'm not going to get in your way . i promise you , i 'm not going to get in your way . bo : i know you want to help . you already have , but what do you think abe is going to say about a civilian getting involved ? he 's already got carson palmer breathing down his neck . hope : i 'm not just a civilian . i was a cop . abe : detective brady , in my office , now . abe : you tampered with the lock on my file cabinet , did n't you ?

[ scene_break ] maggie : are you gon na clam up again if i ask you what 's on your mind ? nick : [ exhales sharply ] okay . all right . okay . so this friend of mine asked me a favor -- nothing major , but now this other friend asked me a favor , a bigger favor . and i ca n't justify not doing that favor when i did the other favor . and this is n't making any sense , is it ? maggie : well , i think i get the gist . it sounds like this friend of yours -- nick : the first friend or the second friend ? maggie : the second friend . it sounds like they 're asking something of you that you ca n't give them ? nick : oh , i can give it to them . i 'm just not sure i should . [ scene_break ] sami : what are you talking about ? this is the best news i could ever ask for . the man that i love , lucas , my fiancé , is the father of my child . i mean , that means i get to move on with my life . speaking of which , i have a wedding to plan . so , if you 'll excuse me . e.j . : you know , uh ... my father always told me that , uh , my brother tony , his one ... weakness were the ladies , his one fatal flaw . i always grew up saying that i would learn from that mistake . and i always thought that i had ... until i met you . my feelings for you are very real , samantha . there was a time when you felt the same way . sami : maybe there was a time when i felt something . but that was ancient history . most importantly , it was before i found out that you shot my stepfather ... and before you raped me . e.j . : i did n't rape you . sami : you ca n't go around pretending that it was some beautiful night of lovemaking because the bottom line is you forced me to have sex with you . and then you forced me to put my life on hold while i waited for this stupid paternity test , which i am now glad that i had because it proves what i was saying all along . lucas is the father of my child , which means ... that we are done here forever . nothing ... nothing will ever connect us again . [ scene_break ] kayla : when i lost steve , i had those same feelings you 're having . i felt lost and disconnected . max : so what you 're trying to say is the love of my life is ... my brother . that 's terrific . kayla : cut it out . you know what i mean . max : i know what you mean . but that 's kind of one of the reasons why i wanted to come on this trip with you , is to feel a part of something that was bigger than i was , you know ? and to see someone . kayla : mmm , not just anyone . someone special . could it be abby deveraux ? [ scene_break ] abby : so wait a minute . you 've been talking to aunt maggie about my love life ? jack : [ chuckles ] so there is a love life . great . just point me in the direction of the minibar . i 'll do the rest . abby : nothing 's even happened , so chill . jack : there wo n't be any chilling until we finish talking about max brady . abby : max is not even technically my boyfriend . we 're just hanging out , having fun . jack : define `` having fun . `` abby : dad ! jack : listen , he 's a lot more experienced than you are . he 's , what , 10 years older than you ? abby : six years . and so what ? why are you so anti - max ? he comes from a good family . he owns his own -- jack : i 'm not saying he 's a bad person . he 's just not for you . he 's not for my daughter . i want you to understand this . i am serious . abigail , stay away from him . stay away from max brady . [ scene_break ] max : nice job , kayla , nice . kayla : what ? max : how you casually slipped abby 's name into the conversation . that was really smooth . kayla : it made you laugh , did n't it ? i like her . i think she 's a doll . i think she 's smart . she 's kind . i think she 'd be really good for you . max : yeah , abby 's great . she 's a terrific girl . kayla : and where does mimi fit into all this ? max : well , she 's in arizona , and i 'm here . i mean , i talk to her every once in a while , but i think we both kind of realize that we 've moved on . kayla : so the coast is clear . max : i guess , but i ... kayla : but what ? max : this is scary , kayla , for me , anyway . i 've known a few girls . i 've been around the block a few times but - nothing like this . nothing like abby . i mean , i think about her all the time and how sweet she is , how smart . she can even take apart a carburetor . kayla : mmm . sounds like true love . max : i do n't know what it is right now . i really do n't . but i know that when she 's not around , i really miss her . and when she is around , it feels like home . [ scene_break ] e.j . : you think that because the child you 're carrying is n't mine we do n't have some connection ? sami : we never had a connection . e.j . : oh , i beg to differ . sami : all right . maybe we had some sort of momentary chemistry . but the second i found out who you really are and what you 're capable of doing to me and my family , all i wanted to do was get you out of my life . e.j . : what about that beam ? let 's think about that , shall we ? what if i had been out of your life , samantha ? what if i had n't picked you up on that mountain road ? you would n't be planning this big wedding because lucas would be dead . sami : well , he 's not dead , and you 're not this baby 's father . and if you really ever cared about me -- which is sort of hard to imagine at this point -- but if it 's true , then i think you should do the right thing . e.j . : and what would that be ? sami : that bargain we made on that mountain road never happened . e.j . : that 's it ? sami : it is all i want from you . e.j . : you have my word . sami : thank you . e.j . : it 's a pity when you think about what could have been -- you and me . i was hoping that if you found out this baby was mine , you 'd be able to overlook your doubts . remember the night man you tangoed with last summer on the pier ? it 's one of my favorite memories . funny thing being , samantha ... you 're probably the only woman in the world who could have made me into the man that you thought i was . [ scene_break ] belle : anything ? shawn d. : nothing . just keep packing . i do n't want any sign that we were ever here . belle : but what if philip finds us again ? shawn d. : why not ? he 's found us everywhere else . if worse comes to worse , i 'm just gon na have to confront him . belle : no , that 's crazy . you can not do that . shawn d. : belle , hear me out . if i can distract him long enough , you and claire , you can make a clean getaway , just like we did in toronto . belle : okay . let 's say we do it . where do we go ? shawn d. : you go to the marina . you get on gabby 's boat , and you wait for me . belle : and what happens if the police catch up to you ? shawn d. : then you go to australia without me . i do n't care if i end up in the ninth ring of hell as long as you and claire are safe from that maniac . [ scene_break ] gabby : i 'm not sure , but i think this belongs to our neighbor 's kids . sometimes they come over here . philip : i thought you said there were no kids around here . gabby : no kids . that 's what i thought you meant . philip : tell me where they are , damn it . gabby : i told you . i do n't know . philip : you 're lying . gabby : no . philip : look me in the eye . look at me . gabby : please , stop it ! philip : i swear , if you do n't start talking -- gabby : okay , fine ! fine , they 're here . you 're right .

[ scene_break ] kayla : it sounds like it 's a whole new thing with abby , huh ? max : it seems like it to me . and i think about how i managed to screw up all the previous relationships i 've had in the past . kayla : max . max : no , come on . do n't you remember what happened with me and stephanie ? kayla : it was n't meant to be . you knew that , and i think , in her heart , she knew it , too . max : maybe . kayla : would you look at me ? look at me . you are not gon na screw this up , so stop thinking you are . max : she 's different than other girls . she 's ... innocent . and i 'm not saying it 's a bad thing . it 's just -- she collects teddy bears , and she dots her exclamation points with hearts . kayla : well , you know what ? i 've been known to do that myself from time to time . really , come on , if you really care about her , and you think the feelings are mutual , then -- max : it is , definitely . we just have n't taken it to the next level . you know what i mean ? it 's like starting at ground zero with her . kayla : max , that 's a good thing . it 's a really special time when you get to know each other . you take your time , enjoy it . max : that 's what i 've been doing . i do n't want to be the first one to break her heart . kayla : then do n't be . max : oh , easy for you to say . kayla : easy for you to do . this is what 's gon na happen . when this plane lands in jfk , you 're gon na catch a cab , you 're gon na go to her hotel , and you 're gon na tell her everything that you just told me . and you know what ? you 're gon na be surprised how far a little honesty can take you .

[ next_on ] bo : until i tell you otherwise , stay away from my wife . sami : i do n't have doubts . having e.j . out of my life for good would be a blessing . nicole : you think this is a good thing , do n't you ? brady : yep . stefano : one day you will know who nicole really is , and you 'll be a broken man . | chloe finds out she is n't pregnant . kate and daniel are both relieved . lucas is disappointed , but promises chloe that they will have children soon . chloe decides to take the job as tv hostess that kate offered her . kate comes to see phillip at the hospital , and asks daniel for a prescription for sleeping medicine . melanie learns that tony is dead and phillip fought with him . she rushes to the hospital , but stephanie is there , and tells her that phillip did n't get the blueprints and that the project is dead . melanie tells max all about it , and admits she spent all the money she received from tony . chelsea confides in max that she is worried about stephanie dating phillip . stephanie meanwhile , is supportive of phillip and invites him back to her place . phillip laments the fact that he had a hand in tony 's death . stephanie assures him that he can still be a good person . phillip fears that he ca n't . stefano , still angry that nicole did n't finger phillip as tony 's murderer , tells ej that she is a pathological liar and confronts her about the real reason she went to the convent . ej defends her , but when stefano leaves to answer the door , ej lays into nicole , saying that he knows she and tony had been acting hostile towards another . he demands to know if she is hiding something to protect phillip . nicole cries , vowing that she 's telling the truth about tony 's death . ej does n't believe her . anna shows up and blames tony 's death on stefano . she tells him that she is handling all of tony 's funeral arrangements , and that he ca n't have anything more to do with tony - even in death . stefano later vows to get revenge on the people that made this happen . |
melanie : you know , you are remarkably sane . philip : i do n't feel sane . melanie : well , uh ... you just found out your father 's gon na marry vivian , and you have n't driven your car into his living room , so that takes restraint . philip : oh , my god , i just realized my father has not been married to anyone ... who has n't at least tried to kill someone . melanie : huh . you know , you think when we have kids , we should adopt ? i just -- i 'm thinking the biological child that we have , the gene pool would just -- philip : melanie , melanie , it just does n't make any sense . why would anybody voluntarily marry vivian ? melanie : well , maybe it 's not voluntary . maybe she 's got the goods on him . philip : like stefano does with my mother . that 's a strong basis for a marriage . melanie : [ laughs ] no . oh , or maybe victor wants something from her . i mean , she 's rich and powerful . she 's got her own island or something . philip : he already has everything . he 's rich and powerful already . melanie : ah . you can never be too rich and powerful . philip : well , the whole thing about my father ... you know , the reason i keep reconciling with him is -- melanie : 'cause you love him . philip : the one thing he does n't fake , the thing that means the most to him is family . that 's why this does n't make any sense . i mean , why ... why would he marry vivian alamain ? why ? kate : what did you just say ? melanie : hmm . the color is draining from her face , so i 'm assuming she did not know this . kate : that is true . philip : that 's right . father is marrying vivian . kate : no , he 's not . [ scene_break ] victor : have a full update on all the analysis of the alamain property in north africa . and as usual , report only to me . vivian : oh ! being in love . being engaged . well , i just feel like a girl . again . victor : you look like a very old 12 . vivian : ah . i do love it when you tease me , victor . now i 'm gon na make you a nice big drink . victor : and ? vivian : and tell you what a very busy day i had . victor : what did you do ? vivian : well , i know you do n't have time to look at wedding invitations , so i brought a few samples home . victor : now you did n't make me a drink to soften the blow of wedding invitations . so what is it you do n't wan na tell me that you know you have to because i 'm going to find out anyway ? vivian : well . you know how concerned and ... sensitive i am to transitions . victor : transitions ? vivian : transitions , yes . so i made a transition from philip not knowing we were getting married to knowing we were getting married . just another thing to check off the to - do list . [ scene_break ] sami : yeah , we 're home . home again , sydney . you know what , i think you 're right . i think you 're absolutely right that i need to focus on the fact that rafe is responsible for bringing you home to me . he 's the one that made sure i knew you were mine , right ? i mean , our problems are really that he does n't trust me because i did n't trust him . instead , i chose to trust daddy , who i do n't trust at all . right ? will : what did you say ? sami : oh , i was just , you know , confiding in sydney , giving her advice about my love life . will : what happened to you ? sami : oh . will : who did that ? sami : nicole . will : where is she ? sami : nuh - uh - uh . do n't , okay ? i gave as good as i got , and besides , i do n't want you to get in any trouble , okay ? will : i ca n't believe they let her out , that 's not right . sami : i know . will : i mean , she should pay for what she did . and anna ? i mean ... i thought i knew her , mom , and i ca n't believe she 's the one that took sydney . sami : i know . i have a hard time buying that too . will : now she 's just gone . it 's like nobody 's gon na pay for anything . sami : yes , they are . rafe is gon na make sure of it . [ scene_break ] rafe : these are some serious charges , benny . someone 's got ta pay for taking sydney , for taking the money , putting her through hell . benny : i did n't do that . rafe : it does n't matter . we 've got you . we 're gon na run with it .

[ laughing gleefully ] [ scene_break ] nicole : what do you care what anna told me ? oh , all right , let me rephrase that . what do you think anna told me ? ej : what ? nicole : she 's got something on you , right ? ej : [ laughs smugly ] no . nicole : she knows where the bodies are buried , what ? ej : oh , that 's right . she knows where the bodies are buried . nicole : i think i just struck a nerve . she 's got something . ej : no . nicole : you 're lying . but more than that , you 're scared . you are really , really scared . [ scene_break ] benny : he 's saying i could face capital charges . yeah , i -- i know , it 's off the record , i know . i need you to tell me if he 's right , could they do that ? rafe : hey , can you ask when he 's coming up here ? i 've got a meeting . benny : wait , well , what do you mean you do n't know ? and where the hell are you ? okay , when are you coming here ? rafe : god , i get so sick of these damn meetings . benny : what ? rafe : did you know we have meetings about how to cut back on the meetings ? benny : you , you ca n't do that , you 're my lawyer . he hung up . rafe : benny . i wan na ask you something . do you really trust this guy ? benny : sure . rafe : and you trust him so much that you know ... you 're certain someone like anna dimera , who 's got boatloads of cash , could n't convince him not to work hard for you ? benny : what are you saying ? rafe : what i 'm saying , it sure as hell seems to me like you 've been hung out to dry . that you are in the unfortunate case of having me as a best friend . [ scene_break ] ej : [ chuckles ] have n't changed a bit , do you ? nicole : you wan na bet ? ej : your back 's up against the wall -- nicole : no , my back is not against the wall . ej : you 're either lying ... or you 've lost touch with reality . have you forgotten who i am ? who my family is ? when you blackmailed anna into getting a pardon from the warden , you made the biggest mistake of your life , and you know that . nicole : you 're spinning . ej : no . now you may not have cared for prison , but i was content to let that be your punishment , and i think you got off easy . nicole : oh , great , another dimera threat . ej : what do you think it does to me to see you walking around town completely -- nicole : no matter how hard you try , ej , you can not unring the bell . i have hit a nerve and you are just worried about what anna -- ej : it 's gon na be a lot worse than prison , i promise you that . nicole : you are scared . and now i just have to figure out why . [ scene_break ] kate : victor 's not going to marry that woman because i wo n't let him . philip : or maybe you could poison her . they say practice makes perfect . melanie : hey , you stop that . you know marriage is sacred to your mother . philip : right . right . and i just think it 's pretty hypocritical of you to bitch and moan about this when it 's all your fault . kate : my fault ? how is this travesty my fault ? philip : my father is doing this to pay you back . and i am so tired of being in the middle of your sick games , i could just -- melanie : what ? philip : i do n't know . yet . [ scene_break ] victor : there are lines , vivian , lines you do not cross . vivian : yes , victor . victor : nothing is more important to me than my relationship with philip . and you have maliciously or idiotically -- and it does n't matter which one -- jeopardized that relationship . vivian : yeah , but he 's my son too . victor : he is not . philip , brady , bo , daniel ... they are all off limits . you do n't do anything to come between me and them . and if you do the things you 've done to carly will seem like pranks compared to what i 'm gon na do to you . do you understand ? vivian : yes , victor , i -- but the thing is , he was going to find out anyway , and this way , i get to woo him before the wedding so he can see how happy you are . victor : you will get to do absolutely nothing . besides , we do n't know if there 's going to be a wedding . [ scene_break ] sami : well , i do n't think i 'm ready to discuss this with you . the only person i confide in about my personal life is sydney . and that 's just until she starts to talk back . will : well , you just seem to be in a better mood , that 's all . sami : i ca n't help it . i am in a better mood . and i think it 's just 'cause ... i do n't think things are as bad as i thought . you know , i 'm ... cautiously optimistic . [ knocking on door ] will : that 's better than not optimistic at all . sami : [ laughs ] you 're right about that . but you know it 's maybe , maybe it 's just wishful thinking , right ? or maybe it 's not . [ scene_break ] ej : why do n't you leave salem while you still can . nicole : see , that 's how i know you 're scared . ej : you do n't know anything . nicole : i 'll tell you what i do know . i 'm done here . ej : you 're not going anywhere . nicole : i will press charges for assault if you ever touch me again . ej : let me assure you ... that it is just as loathsome for me to touch you as it is for you to be touched . kinsey : like , oh , my god . i was so just thinking about you . because i thought if you had a little time to think -- and now you have -- you 'd change your mind and give me your autograph . nicole : no . kinsey : well , you would n't believe it . i got , like , a thousand tweets just today . we could make a mint selling them online . though i would do all the work . ej : the lady said no . all right ? kinsey : okay , look , buddy , i do n't know who you are ... i do know who you are . uh , sorry . sorry . i -- i did n't mean to butt in . enjoy the rest of your day . and i thought the sopranos was nothing but ethnic stereotyping . [ nicole scoffs ] ej : now . you ... are going to tell me ... everything that anna said to you . i want to know every single word . [ scene_break ] vivian : oh . do n't say that , it breaks my heart . victor : i will not marry someone who does not respect my relationship with my sons , grandsons , any one of them . vivian : but -- but if you think of it in the right way , this marriage is very good for you . i mean , i wo n't go after carly , bo wo n't try to kill me , and you and brady and philip wo n't have to go visit him in prison . victor : i have to be ... someplace else . vivian : [ stutters ] we 're all right , are n't we , victor ? i mean , it was just a little hitch . well , we ... we did n't even discuss the wedding invitations . [ scene_break ] melanie : oh , ow . philip : you okay ? melanie : yeah . philip : all right . melanie : all right . good luck . philip : bye . kate : well , you are right , you know . victor is marrying vivian to hurt me . of course , you 're not gon na give me any sympathy now , are you ? philip : well , you 're right there . kate : mm . philip : okay , listen . i know this is futile , but ... i 'm going to talk to you as if you are a rational ... adult . kate : ooh . when you 're sarcastic like that , you remind me so much of your father . philip : vivian is going to gloat about this . she is gon na do anything she can to get a rise out of you . what if ... what if she changed the game ? huh ? what if you acted like a grown - up ? [ scene_break ] ej : so that 's it ? nicole : that 's all she told me . but now i know that 's not everything . you 're scared of what anna did n't tell me . ej : you know , you 're right . maybe i overreacted a little bit earlier . nicole : i 'll say . ej : just drives me a little bit crazy , you know , that the two of you are wandering around free as birds . though -- [ clears throat ] one does wonder whether or not you were n't , uh ... working together . nicole : no . ej : no ? it 's quite a coincidence , do n't you think , that you both happened to commit exactly the same crime . nicole : it was n't the same crime . i wanted to be a mother . she wanted the money . that 's a big difference . ej : i do n't know about that . i do know that there is n't a punishment bad enough for what you did to samantha . [ scene_break ] rafe : so i 'm not gon na promise anything , but i got a good feeling i can break this guy , and he 'll lead me right to anna . will : hey . so , uh -- [ clears throat ] sydney and i were just talking and we think we wan na go to the park . get some air . rafe : she talking already ? will : yeah , i can read her mind . rafe : is that right ? he read your mind there , huh , sweetie ? okay . you go to the park . you guys have a good time . will : so ... you two play nice . and i 'll see you later . thank you . rafe : good seeing you there , will . will : see you . [ sami clears throat ] rafe : huh . that seemed , um , calculated . sami : [ chuckles ] he thought of it all on his own . rafe : oh . sami : but he obviously knew that i ... that i wanted to be alone with you . every since i left the police station ... i 've been thinking . [ scene_break ] kate : do you really think i need your advice on how to deal with vivian ? philip : well , we 're about to find out . let the games begin . [ scene_break ] maggie : you 're worried about philip ? melanie : no . maggie : no ? melanie : no . i honestly think he 's got this crazy parent thing under control . kind of wish he 'd teach me how it 's done . maggie : hmm . [ knocking on door ] maggie : ah . i 'll get it . julie said she was coming by , but she usually does n't knock . [ clears throat ] ah . sorry . uh , victor , philip is n't here . victor : well , actually , i came to see you . maggie : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] nicole : well , things have changed . now you worry about dear old sami . ej : well , she is the mother of my children , you know . nicole : [ scoffs ] you used to have no problem hating the mother of your children . so what 's going on , ej ? i do n't think you 're getting soft . i think you 're up to something . ej : the only thing i 'm doing , my dear , is repairing the damage that you and anna did to my family . nicole : well , it 's not gon na work . you 're gon na end up alone and bitter . you had your chance , but you blew it . ej : okay , well ... if it helps , you tell yourself that . nicole : ej , do you remember when i was ruining your life , and every day it was a lie and i had the audacity to make you think that sydney was ours . you were very happy . you will never be happy like that again . and you know what , i 'm glad . because the love i felt for you then , it is now ice cold hate . ej : tell me something before you go . did you walk into a door or a couple doors ... or did you bump into an old friend ? nicole : you stay away from me . because if you do n't , i may just have to tell agent hernandez that there 's more to the anna and ej story than meets the eye . ej : [ chuckles ] well , my dear , you 're not gon na do anything . [ cell phone ringing ] ej : damn . [ scene_break ] [ toy squeaking ] [ both laughing ] rafe : oh . [ clears throat ] well , you know , actually , i 've got ta get back to the police station . i need to be there when benny 's lawyers show up , so -- sami : hey , my dad could call you , right , and let you know ? or you think we should talk ? rafe : you said we were taking a break , sami , i just came by to let you know -- sami : i do n't want a break . i do n't . i want us to be together . [ scene_break ] vivian : hello . i see you 've been with philip . did he tell you the good news ? kate : yes , he told me that you , that you thought you and victor were getting married . vivian : c'est vrai . kate : mm . well , i would n't get my hopes up . vivian : what are you gon na do , stop the wedding ? kate : actually , in this state , you need a blood test to get a marriage license , and you do n't have any blood . vivian : how very brave of you to mask your sense of -- [ sighs ] depression and humiliation with an attempt at humor . kate : vivian ... philip sees through all of this . he sees through you . vivian : kate , you really do n't have to tell me about my son . kate : i told you never to call him that ever again . vivian : do n't do that . [ scene_break ] maggie : you came to see me ? victor : yes , exactly . maggie : uh , come in . honey , would you give me a minute alone with victor ? melanie : yeah . no . no problem . i 'll go check on philip 'cause he 's supposed to be home anyways , so -- mr. kiriakis . maggie . maggie : yeah . mm . victor : i guess formal is better than nothing , huh ? [ maggie laughs ] victor : how have you been , maggie ? i 've been thinking about you -- maggie : can it , victor . i asked melanie to leave so i could be blunt . now let 's just nip this `` maggie , how have you been `` thing in the bud . victor : excuse me ? maggie : you came by here to enlist my help to smooth things over with philip . well , you 're wasting your time . because i 'm not altogether convinced that completely turning his back on you is n't the best thing for him to do . victor : well , how do you really feel ? maggie : well , am i wrong ? have i misread your motives ? victor : well , you 've certainly cast them in the worst possible light . look , i 'm sorry if i seem manipulative , but i really do love my son . maggie : i know that . but that poor boy has been manipulated ever since before he was born . and i 'm not gon na try to steer him . 'cause i 'd just be another one . get it ? victor : i get it . well , i hope we can still be friends . maggie : we 're friends ? [ chuckles ] okay , all right , um ... maybe i hope we are . melanie just told me that you were going to marry vivian alamain . i would n't want to miss that fiasco . [ victor chuckles ] [ scene_break ] anna : i told you to leave me alone . ej : they arrested benny . anna : oh ... hmm , what a surprise . imagine an evil genius like benny not being able to elude the police and the fbi . ej : you do n't seem very concerned . anna : well , ej , the unvarnished truth is that i 'm okay , you 're not . so if benny spills , then that 's your problem , not mine . look , i 'm sorry love , but the tea has arrived and i 've resumed my love affair with clotted cream . [ scene_break ] rafe : i do n't understand , sami , what ... what 's changed ? sami : nothing . and that 's the point . it 's not about what 's changed , it 's about what stays the same . [ rafe scoffs ] sami : and that 's why we love each other , right ? [ scene_break ] will : so ... i do n't know , what do you think we should do next ? we could go see great - grandma . or we -- [ scene_break ] kate : you wan na live , you wo n't ever say that again . you wo n't ever mention his name to me again . do you understand me ? vivian : you know ... i do n't really know quite what to do right now . kate : well , i can think of a number of things . vivian : i should get a restraining order , but actually , i want you at the wedding . i want you there when victor and i become man and wife . kate : [ scoffs ] my god . you are so deluded . you know , vivian , victor may taunt us with this little engagement , but when it comes down to really marrying you , it ai n't ever gon na happen . [ scene_break ] melanie : hi . philip : look who decided to show up after you left . melanie : oh , no . philip : yeah . they were so busy arguing over me , they did n't even know i left . [ melanie scoffs ] let 's get out of here . let 's go home . melanie : uh , no . philip : no ? melanie : i have a better idea . come with me . [ scene_break ] maggie : do n't you think you 're being , um , what 's the word , naive , sentimental , stupid ? victor : [ chuckles ] i get your drift . maggie : you want me to help you smooth things over with philip . would n't it be better if you not marry the woman who tried to kill his wife ? victor : well , he talks to kate . she married the man who tried to kill him . maggie : oh , you know , do n't you , that you and kate are both nuts . it 's amazing to me that philip has turned out as well as he has . people should n't have to get over their parents marrying murderers . victor : what if there 's no choice ? maggie : oh ! philip has a choice . he can turn his back on the lot of you . victor : of course , philip has a choice , i was n't talking about him . i was talking about me . [ scene_break ] nicole : will , please do n't go . will : do you think i 'm crazy ? do you think i 'm gon na let you get anywhere near her ? nicole : no , no , i just , i just have something to say -- will : not gon na happen . nicole : i just wan na say good - bye . [ scene_break ] rafe : you know i 've been doing a lot of thinking about this . sami : well , maybe that 's where we go wrong -- rafe : you keep blaming the things ... that happen to us for our problems . maybe it 's not the things that happen to us , maybe ... i do n't know , maybe it 's just us . sami : do n't say that . i love you , and i know you love me . [ rafe scoffs ] sami : and that 's what matters , right ? rafe : does it ? [ scene_break ] melanie : ha ha . [ laughs ] okay . okay , now , um , it seems to me that even though we 're not gon na get our honeymoon yet , we should still probably spend some time alone . philip : that sounds great . melanie : i know it 's not ... beaches in greece or , you know , hotels in france . philip : it 's perfect . you 're here . [ scene_break ] maggie : you have no choice but to marry vivian ? victor : well , i just think that , uh , it would be the best thing for my family . maggie : i ... [ scoffs ] i -- i , uh , i do n't know what tortured logic leads you to that conclusion . victor : i ca n't tell you . maggie : god forgive me for being a fool here , but i -- i ... i understand . victor : you think i should marry vivian ? maggie : no . no , of course not . i believe you think it would be the best thing for your family . even when i ca n't fathom how that could possibly be true . victor : you know , i always thought mickey horton was the luckiest man in the world . ca n't imagine having a wife who not only makes sense , but she is n't scheming for my money . or my life . maggie : you sure know how to pick 'em . victor : i 'm afraid i may have saved the worst for last . maggie : ah , well , do n't give up , victor . you know , i should n't be so dogmatic . [ laughing ] oh , hell , i mean , maybe you and vivian will be very happy together , and maybe she 'll change . [ both laugh ] victor : nice try . maggie : oh ... well , i did my best . victor : as i said , i do love my son . and i wish he were home with me , but if that 's not possible , then i 'm glad that he and melanie are with you . maggie : sometimes i think you could be a decent man , victor . if you were n't you . victor : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] vivian : oh , poor kate . still clinging to what you do n't have . i did n't take it . you threw it away . kate : my god , i -- i ca n't take any more of this . philip . philip ? vivian : i do n't know . where 'd he go ? i did n't see him leave . kate : well , of course he left . he did n't want to be in the same room with you . no one wants to be in the same room with you . i just wish someone could throw a bucket of water over you , and everything would get back to normal . [ scene_break ] sami : of course it 's enough . after everything we 've been able to get through , we can get through this too . rafe : [ chuckles ] is that what love is supposed to be ? getting through things ? sami : well , no , but ... [ crying ] but everything with sydney , it 's behind us . we have her back . so now we can get to the good part , you know ? we can be happy . it 's our turn now . rafe : so what happens next time we hit a rough patch ? we gon na take another break ? sami : okay ... okay , you 're still angry about that . rafe : i 'm not angry , sami . i wish i were angry , i 'm ... not . i 'm just sad . i 'm sad about the whole damn thing . sami : well , you 're sad because we 're not together . rafe , that is what i want . it 's what i want more than anything . i want us to be together . i want you to move back in . i want us to be a family . [ scene_break ] nicole : hey . i have to say good - bye to you now . sydney : mama . nicole : oh , honey . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for everything i put you through . but i 'm not your mama . and i never will be again .

[ scene_break ] [ door closes ] [ glass clanking ] vivian : you 're not still mad at me , are you ? victor : if i 'm going to be truthful with myself , something that i try to avoid , most of my problems with philip are of my own making . but i still want you to keep clear and not interfere . however , if i am going to marry you , then i should be prepared for philip to know about it . vivian : oh , do n't say if , say when . victor : when . vivian : ohh . see , i knew you could n't stay mad at me . now , i -- i have the fun part . i have some really good ideas for different color schemes for the wedding , and i need your input . victor : vivian , i do n't care . this is a business arrangement . do whatever you 'd like . just make sure that it 's short and in good taste . vivian : of course , victor . anything you say . always and forever , anything you say . i 'm just going to devote myself to making you happy . victor : oh , god , what have i done ? [ scene_break ] will : um ... look , we got ta go . nicole : i know , i -- i just want to tell her that ... you have a mommy . and she loves you very , very much . you do n't need me . but i will never forget you . be very , very happy . thank you . will : yeah .

[ laughs ] doctor , i do n't think stefano is in any condition to reward anybody anything . rolf : what is that supposed to mean ? john : it means he sustained grievous injuries when i arrested marlena . i do n't even think he made it through the freaking night . rolf : please , please , take me to him immediately . perhaps i can be of some service and restore his health . john : well , you know , i do have the power to get you out of here to go see your boss . but that 's only gon na happen if you agree to help marlena first . kristen : brady . brady : mmm . kristen : i -- i 'm really sorry that my father has turned your family 's world upside down yet again . brady : ca n't be easy for you either . i know that . how is he ? kristen : well , he is , um -- he 's still in icu . he sustained some pretty severe injuries at the hand of anna or , more accurately , her shoe . brady : sounded pretty rough . kristen : yeah . the last i heard , he was still fighting for his survival . marlena : stefano . stefano . your migraine strikes , and the struggle is real . abe : hey . lani : all these years , and you still have to look at the menu . abe : oh . lani : hi , dad . abe : well , you know , you never know . something may surprise me . lani : well , it is good to see you . abe : it 's good to see you too . so where 's eli ? lani : he will be here shortly . i hope . abe : you hope ? lani : we ran into gabi in the square on our way over here . and she asked to speak with him privately . abe : are you okay with that ? what were you thinking ? eli : lani and abe are waiting for me , so whatever you 've got to say , just hurry up and say it . gabi : i just want to say that i - i truly loved you . eli : as if you know what love means . gabi : i know that i ca n't defend what i did to you and lani . i was - i was consumed with revenge . i would 've done anything to hurt lani for what she did to stefan . eli : that shooting was an accident . gabi : my husband was dead . and lani was the reason . i just , i could n't see past my pain , eli . and then i - i never thought that i would fall in love you again , i didn't . but it happened . and i need you to know that i really did love you . and i hope that someday you can forgive me . eli : never . sarah : xander ! hi , baby . i was just about to call you . yep . mickey 's numbers are even better than we expected , so it 's all good news . i am happy to report that she will be at our wedding with bells on . i know , i ca n't wait to be your wife . all right , i love you too . i 'll see you at home . kristen : sarah . sarah : hi , kristen . kristen : hi . what are you guys doing here ? is everything all right with mackenzie ? sarah : yeah . no , no , no , she 's fine , we just here for a check - up . kristen : oh , thank god . oh , you are getting prettier and prettier every time i see you . i hope your momma knows what a precious gift you are .

[ elevator bell dings ] rolf : kristen . have you seen your father ? how is stefano ? kristen : john , what is he -- what 's going on ? rolf : please , answer me . is he still alive ? did he make it through the night ? kristen : if you 're talking about steve , yes , he 's still alive . he 's in icu . sarah : i 'm sorry , what is he doing here ? john : well , rolf has agreed to remove marlena 's chip if i let him see stefano . and i explained to him that stefano 's life is hanging in the balance , but he was still desperate to see him , so we came to an agreement . rolf : why are n't you by your father 's side in his time of need ? kristen : i 'm not with my father because he 's in intensive care , and visitors are restricted . rolf : i 'm not sure i believe you . brady : you said nicole went to new york for business . what kind ? eric : it was for basic black . i mean , she left last minute on a trip to new york so she could be there this morning . brady : we do n't have any operations in new york . eric : i 'm sorry , i do n't understand . brady : eric , all of our business is based out of l.a. did she say who she was meeting with ? eric : no . but i talked to her this morning while she was walking through central park on her way to the meeting . are you sure there 's no basic black meeting ? brady : yeah , i 'm sure . i do n't mean to freak you out , man , but she 's not in new york on basic black business . eric : so you 're saying she 's lying to me . brady : i 'm afraid so , yeah . eric : i do n't understand . after everything we 've been through , i mean , why would she do that ? unless the real reason for this trip is something personal . dr. raynor : ms. walker . i was just about to head out . nicole : in your bathrobe ? oh , and banana bread baking in the oven ? dr. raynor : i meant i was just about to get dressed . nicole : why do n't you stop lying to me and tell me the truth for a change ? dr. raynor : what are you even doing here ? how did you find me ? nicole : well , despite your best efforts to disappear , a good friend of mine helped me located your nice new digs here in new york city . i notice the mail slot says smith . was that the name of the former resident of this apartment or the alias you 're currently using ? dr. raynor : you 've got this all wrong . i have no reason to hide from you or anyone else . nicole : well , i hope not , for your sake . i 'm here because i want to know the truth about exactly who mackenzie horton 's parents are . and i 'm not leaving until i get it . how do you get skin happy 24/7 ? eli : abe , i 'm not so sure that i 'd be welcome back at the salem pd . i kind of left them in a lurch when i quit . lani : so did i . abe : you know , you both went through something very traumatic , and it was n't your fault . and you said you want to put it behind you , right ? lani : yes , but dad -- abe : you both have a calling . and it 's not to be a nun or a head of security . you 're cops . and you 're both among the most dedicated , talented detectives i 've ever seen . and the salem pd needs you . right now . so what do you say ? lani : can we think about it ? abe : sure , you can take all the time you need . i 'm just hoping that you 'll decide soon , because there are too many crazies running around this town to make me feel comfortable . rolf : how do i know you 're not lying about your father 's condition ? kristen : it 's the truth . the man took a spiked high heel to his eye socket , and the strategy barely saved his life . sarah : i can vouch for that . rolf : but i have to see him . now . as a matter of fact , kristen , why do n't we go together ? john : first things first . you 're gon na remove that chip from marlena 's brain . kristen : i 'll visit father , rolf . and if you want to see him , i think it 'd be wise that you do as john asks . brady : you think nicole is in new york for something personal . what do you mean personal ? nicole : i 'll - i 'll - i 'll just open it later . like i told you , it 's just some blood work . 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 ? i saw her getting test results from a lab tech , and i thought -- well , i thought she was pregnant . brady : was she ? eric : no . no , no , no . she swore it was just routine . but she was a bit shaken . brady : you do n't think it 's anything serious , do you ? eric : i do n't know . i mean , when i checked back in with her , she assured me it was nothing to worry about . and i mean , maybe she 's just trying to protect me . brady : what , do you think she 's in new york getting a second opinion ? you think she 's seeing a specialist or something ? eric : we 've been through hell and back with mickey . i mean , the last thing she wants to lay on me is a medical crisis . brady : let 's hope that 's not the case . eric : yeah . i need to figure this out one way or another . [ beeping ] brady : oh , it 's my dad . he 's here at the hospital . here 's brought rolf with him . eric : all right , the nicole situation can wait . but not for long . dr. raynor : i already told you i did not switch those babies . now , i do n't know where you got this crazy idea , but you 're delusional . nicole : you really think so ? then how do you explain these dna test results ? dr. raynor : you ran a dna test on the baby ? nicole : was n't that hard . maybe what 's best for you is to find out who you actually belong to . okay . just a little swab , sweetheart . kristen : ahh ! brady : what are -- stop . come on ! kristen , kristen , get off her . what are you doing ? nicole : she attacked me . kristen : oh , for good reason . ow . nicole : sorry , kristen . but i need to know if i 'm right about you being mickey 's mother . and with your hair , i can prove it . doctor : 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 ? if the two people are related ? doctor : i 'll find you when i have the test results . nicole : so what 's what i think happened that night . abe : so eric and sarah 's baby died , and somehow xander managed to make the switch ? nicole : yes . and i know from experience that it 's possible . abe : so there was the birthmark . and you saw xander threatening the doctor . nicole : that doctor who then immediately took off to parts unknown . abe : but there 's - there are the test results . nicole : abe , this is salem . can we really trust test results ? mackenzie is a perfect match to kristen dimera , whose baby supposedly died the same night mackenzie was born . so tell me , dr . raynor , how the hell do you explain that ? brady : dad . john : hey , son . eric , i 've got some good news . dr. rolf here has agreed to extract the microchip from your mother 's brain . eric : that 's great news . rolf : and then you will take me to stefano . john : a deal 's a deal . how is she ? brady : she 's resting . john : all right , i 'm gon na go check her out . sarah , who do n't you round up kayla , prep an or ? sarah : sure . yeah . and then i will help our friend here get scrubbed in . rolf : how kind of you . john : and i 'm confident that we will have the real marlena back soon . sarah : eric , would you mind watching mickey while i help john ? eric : of course . take as much time as you need . rolf : all right , rolf . let 's go . let 's get you ready . brady : hey . i know you 're worried about nicole . so why do n't you go figure out what 's going on , and i 'll watch mackenzie until sarah gets back . eric : if you 're sure . brady : i 'm sure . it 's fine . good luck . eric : thanks . dr. raynor : i really -- i do n't know what you 're talking about . nicole : i 'm finding that harder and harder to believe . dr. raynor : whatever those test results say , i was n't involved . nicole : really ? because you signed the death certificate for kristen 's daughter . i suppose xander paid you off for that , and to leave town . and did he help you get this nice please ? because i know victor kiriakis is very well connected . dr. raynor : no . i -- [ timer dings , buzzes ] i have to take the bread out of the oven . nicole : stop lying to me . or i promise i will make your life a living hell . you tell me everything you know , or i will not only make sure that your medical license is taken away , you will go to prison . do you really wan na go down for xander 's crimes ?

marlena : i had a dream . i dreamt that steve , or stefano -- there was a wedding . john : yeah . well , you know , that -- the wedding was n't real . stefano is never gon na make you his queen of the night , i can promise you that . marlena : i -- see , i do n't know why i feel this pull towards him . i do n't want to feel that . i do n't want to feel that , but i ca n't help it . i do feel that . john : i know . marlena : i just hope it goes away . i mean , as long as i 'm under some sort of control , i do n't want that to affect , you know , how we are together , our relationship . these are real people , not actors , eli : you do n't care about anybody but yourself . and that 's why you will always be alone . lani : you were pretty quiet on the way home . eli : this is n't our home . it 's jj 's . lani : i know , but it 's where we live . eli : temporarily , while he 's away . lani : okay , well it is very convenient to live rent - free . we are both unemployed . and -- come here -- as much as i would love to live on our love forever , i 'm pretty sure it 's not sustainable . eli : yeah , okay . i guess you 're right . lani : do you miss it ? eli : having my own place ? lani : no . being a cop . eli : yeah . every day . lani : yeah , me too . and i really thought that i had found my calling with being a nun , but after rescuing david , it made it so clear that i am just more suited to a badge than a habit . eli : so we tell your dad it 's a yes . lani : yeah . we will be a team again . at home and at work , just like how it was before gabi tried to destroy our lives . eli : like it should have been all along . lani : mm - hmm . you know , it feels really great that everything is coming full circle . eli : i could n't agree more . john : hey , got some great news . rolf has agreed to remove your chip . marlena : oh . he 's gon na perform surgery ? john : mm - hmm . sarah 's helping him get scrubbed in as we speak . marlena : and do you think that we can trust him ? john : well , i exaggerated stefano 's medical condition and promised to allow rolf to see him in exchange for removing the chip . marlena : so you strong - armed him . john : where there 's a will , there 's a way . you know how loyal rolf is to stefano , so this is great incentive for him to perform the procedure safely . besides , kayla 's gon na be in the or watching him like a hawk , just like she did with hope . marlena : good . thank you . i just - i just want us to love each other the way we always have . john : it 's gon na happen , doc , i know it . and after all of this , i also know that no matter what stefano tries to do , he can never destroy our love . eric : abe , hey . abe : oh , eric . eric : hey . your assistant , she told me where to find you . abe : is everything all right with your mother ? eric : yeah , yeah . actually , rolf , he 's removing the chip today . but that 's not what i want to talk to you about . i consider you to be one of nicole 's closest friends , and you would n't know the real reason why nicole went to new york , would you ? dr. raynor : please . your boyfriend loves his daughter . you need to leave this alone . nicole : i am doing this because i love eric . and he deserves to know the truth about the baby he believes is his child . dr. raynor : you can still walk away . nicole : [ laughs ] it 's not too late . nicole : oh , it is too late . for both of us . i have the medical board 's number right here . or should i just go right to the police ?

'cause , you know , i eded to have a killer crush on shawn once upon a time , and it never occurred to me in any of my vivid daydreams that doing the deed with him could be anything but ... oh , wait , you do n't need to hear that . so what was it , no preliminaries ? he just went for it like that ? belle : no , no , shawn was very romantic in the beginning . mimi : well , he gets points for that , right ? so what went wrong ? belle : we had a fight . mimi : uh - huh . belle : and i kicked him out . mimi : oh , my god , what did he say ? what did he -- how could shawn treat you like that ? wait , what exactly did he do ? belle : see , that part i ca n't tell you because it 's really stupid . mimi : you had a fight about something stupid . okay . you were nervous . it 's natural . he was probably nervous , too . belle : no , shawn was not nervous . he was laughing . mimi : laughing ? about sex ? that is not funny . belle : no , mimi , not about sex -- about ... my days of the week , you know ... mimi : days of the week ? what are you talk -- oh , my god . please tell me you were not wearing those underwear . belle , we have talked about this . those are for every day , not for special occasions , like having sex for the very first time with the boy you 've been in love with since you were 5 years old . i ca n't believe you , belle . belle : okay , mimi , but he should not have laughed . mimi : okay . okay . your feelings were hurt . but could n't that have been resolved by , you know , taking them off ? i feel quite sure shawn would 've stopped laughing at some point . belle : the fight did n't end there . i found out shawn did some heavy partying while he was out of town with his team . mimi : you mean he had sex with some local bimbo ? oh , honey ... belle : no , no , at least i do n't think so . but finding out what shawn did made me realize how different we are . mimi : well , you 're a girl , and he 's a boy , and that 's supposed to be a good thing . belle : you do n't understand . mimi : well , i 'm sorry , but i do n't exactly have a wealth of experience to draw on here . i was kind of hoping to learn from you . belle : you 're right . i 'm talking to the wrong person . mimi : wait , where are you going ? belle : i 'm going home . marlena : tony and i would like to speak privately . will you excuse us , please ? cassie : whatever . tony : my god , i refuse to coddle her , marlena . marlena : oh , tony -- tony : god , how could she be so irresponsible ?

marlena : well , we need to be calm , friendly , firm yet rational . tony : hmm . you 're absolutely right . i 'm just not very good at this parenting thing . hmm . calm ... shall we ? tony : well , good mornin cassie . you 're having breakfast , are you ? that 's a good job . marlena : tony , would you like some tea ? tony : yes , that would be so nice . so , cassie , are you feeling better this morning ? oh , do n't you dare give me the silent treatment , young lady , after your behavior last night . stop acting like a child , and you come home with me . cassie : i 'm not a child . tony : i did n't say you were a child . i said you were acting like one . cassie : you see , i ca n't even speak to him . i 'm going back up to my room . tony : no , no , no . no , you 're not . now , come here ! marlena : let it go , let it go . tony : that we well . marlena : leave it to a teenager to know just how to push your buttons . tony : i tried . i did . i was a veritable island of calm ... well , for two seconds . and then all hell broke loose . marlena : congratulations . now you 've become a parent . tony : hmm . yes . sami : oh . there they are . okay , do n't be shy , and i 'll handle everything . brandon , you know george , do n't ya ?

sami : oh , good . brandon : are you sure , gwen ? i - i have plenty of time . i was happy to do it . gwen : i 'm sure . sami , you probably didt t mean for this to happen , but i 've got to thank you for introducing me to george . we both collect stamps . ha ha . is n't that amazing ?

[ scene_break ] sami : look , nick , just relax . just tell me what he saw on that lab computer . does he know that i did n't really have an amnio ? nick : i do n't know . he left as soon as i caught him , but he must at least suspect that something was there . sami : i am so sorry . i just wanted a favor , and now i 've put you in the middle of this . nick : i just have one question , sami . why is e.j . so interested in your baby ? [ scene_break ] lucas : all right , look , maybe i misunderstood the situation . maybe you 're working with another doctor or something and they gave sami the amnio . doctor : i do n't see why . the baby 's perfectly healthy . lucas : she 's been nervous lately . you know , maybe she just did it as a precautionary measure to make sure the baby was okay . doctor : i suppose so , but that does n't explain why she would n't come to me for the amnio . lucas : yeah , you 're right about that . that 's a little strange , is n't it ? doctor : mr. roberts , what was the name of the doctor you said called you ? lucas : uh , i think it was dr. young . somebody like that . do you know anybody by that name ? doctor : it 's not ringing any bells , but i 'll check on it . lucas : i would appreciate it . thank you very much . doctor : you 're welcome . e.j . : lucas , hey . how are you doing ? is everything okay ?

[ scene_break ] lucas : is there anywhere on the planet i can go without running into you , without you showing up every time ? e.j . : lucas , i 'm a firm believer in preventative medicine . i 'm just here for my annual checkup . lucas : well , good . i 'm glad to hear that . good for you . e.j . : you , um , did n't answer my question . i asked you if anything was wrong . lucas : well , i 'm here to see sami 's doctor , if you must know . are you satisfied ? e.j . : samantha 's doctor ? well , i mean , i hope there 's not some kind of problem . lucas : no , she 's fine , all right ? do n't even worry about it . e.j . : well , i do worry about it , lucas . if something were to happen to samantha or the baby , it does n't even bear thinking about . it 's unimaginable . lucas : why do n't you just get over it ? e.j . : why do n't i just get over what ? lucas : your sick obsession with sami , that 's what . i 'm sick of it . it 's got to end right now .

'cause if lucas ever found out that nick : he is n't the father ? sami : no ! no , he is the father . there is no way that this baby is e.j .

[ scene_break ] philip : i 'm gon na go room by room . if they 're here , i 'll find them . gabby : you 're not -- you 're not gon na go anywhere , okay ? the guests at this hotel have a right to their privacy and a right not to have some bully knocking on their door asking them questions . now , look , i am sorry for your loss , okay ? if i had known belle and shawn were kidnappers , trust me , i would have called the sheriff , but i did n't know . and now they 're gone , and you 're just gon na have to accept that . kate : i found them . room 202 . philip : nice work , mom . gabby : they 're gone . you 're not gon na find them there .

[ scene_break ] lucas : you know what , man ? i 've had enough . so whatever your interest is in sami , cut it out . i do n't want to deal with it anymore , all right ? i 'm sick of you always hanging around , hurting her , making her feel uncomfortable . and that stunt you pulled at the wedding shower was ridiculous , the way you dragged her into her room like that . inappropriate . e.j . : lucas , she was crying . i was concerned . i was just trying to be a good friend . lucas : you know , she 's not your friend , and neither am i. i work for you and that 's about it . and i do a damn good job . so outside of work , i do n't want you anywhere near my fiancé . you got it ? nowhere .

[ scene_break ] chloe : [ sighs ] this is such a nightmare . philip : i know this is n't too much fun for you . chloe : you think ? i can never forgive nicole for what she did to try to keep me away from brady . philip : but it did n't work , did it ? chloe : no , in the end , it did n't , but the things she did were so cruel . philip : look , nicole does n't care who she hurts as long as she gets what she wants or who she wants . chloe : victor can not let her move in . philip : he may not have a lot of choice in the matter . chloe : it 's his house . philip : yeah , but [ sighs ] how are you gon na feel if we get another roommate in here ? chloe : like i need to find a new place to live . philip : that makes two of us . [ scene_break ] chelsea : so , are n't you glad you stayed for dinner ? kate : oh , yeah . dinner was delicious . cook is a master . but nicole i could have done without for the rest of my life . daniel : she 's a rough firecracker . it must run in the family . chelsea : well , if you 're referring to me , thank you for the compliment , i guess , but you could have skipped the comparison . daniel : ouch . chelsea : she actually tried to kill my grandpa victor . at least that 's the gossip , right ? kate : well , it 's not exactly gossip . it 's the truth . it would have happened if the dimeras did n't have other plans . chelsea : was n't she also married to uncle lucas at one point ? kate : yeah , unfortunately she was , and i played a part in that one . chelsea : you did ? kate : yes , i did . i had run out of options . come on . everyone knows i 'm not a saint . i 've done things that i 'm not proud of . but everything that i 've done i 've done for my children and my grandchildren . daniel : mama wolf . not to be messed with . i 've seen it in action . kate : yeah . that 's right . everything nicole does , though , she does just for herself . you are looking tired . i think it 's been too much excitement for you , young lady . chelsea : no . i 'm gon na wait around for grandpa victor and nicole to get back , because i want to see what happens with that . kate : really ? well , i think someone can tell you about that . come on , i 'll walk you upstairs to your room . doctor ? daniel : uh , yeah . she 's back on the prowl here , so you better go . chelsea : [ sighs ] fine . but i expect a report from you guys . good night , everybody . and good night , daniel . daniel : good night . get some rest . chelsea : thank you .

[ scene_break ] kate : well , you seemed happy tonight . and as much as you deny it , i 've noticed that every time daniel 's around , there is a certain twinkle in your eye . chelsea : you know what ? i have to tell you that i am glad he came tonight ... but not for the reason that you think . kate : oh , really ? then why ? chelsea : i do n't know . i like having a distraction around , i guess . i 'm still worried about dad . kate : i know you are , honey . listen , i 'll tell you what . why do n't i swing by tomorrow and i will take you to see your dad ? chelsea : that would be absolutely fantastic , if you 're not too busy . kate : i do have meetings in the morning , but you know i always have time for you . chelsea : thank you . kate : you 're welcome . chelsea : so , i guess the real distraction of the night was the surprise visitor , huh ? kate : i ca n't believe that tramp is back . [ chuckles ] but i have to say the look on your grandfather 's face was absolutely priceless . i should n't laugh , but -- chelsea : no , you should n't . it was n't funny . kate : oh , come on . he brought that all on himself . that 's what happens when you do n't think with your head . chelsea : grandma . kate : what ? it 's true . chelsea : do you really think she 's gon na stick around ? ? ? kate : oh , yeah . yeah , i do . and i think , before she 's through , she 's going to make victor 's life a living hell . [ scene_break ] victor : what the hell are you thinking , nicole ? nicole : i 'm thinking i need a place to stay . you have a nice , big house , plenty of bedrooms . victor : you 're broke , are n't you ? nicole : who are you kidding ? my husband is a very rich man . victor : and do n't think you 're gon na get a penny of that money . nicole : oh , i do n't think . i know . victor : nicole , you tried to kill me . there 's not a judge in the world that would give you a red cent . nicole : oh , do n't be so sure . i talked to a very knowledgeable attorney , and he thinks i might be due a sweet , little settlement . victor : oh , really ? and how many times did you have to sleep with him before he told you that ? now , now , nicole , claws in . nicole : you may not like it , victor , but i have my rights . we are still married . victor : it does n't mean i have to put you up and pay your liquor bills . nicole : nevertheless , here i am . zinfandel . tasty . i prefer the moutonne . victor : you deserve rotgut . nicole : i 'm not going anywhere , victor . get used to it . victor : we 'll see about that . i 'll have my attorneys look into it first thing tomorrow . nicole : please do . in the meantime , be a dear and have henderson unpack my bags , draw me a bath . traveling is such a chore . victor : yeah ? well , get used to it . and if i were you , i would n't unpack my bags just yet .

[ scene_break ] spencer : the best thing we can do for john and hope is to get the goods on dimera . that 's why we brought you in -- to work your mother and see what you can find out . billie : well , she 's afraid that stefano is after john 's wife . spencer : so this is personal . billie : yeah , it 's always been personal .. stefano left john and marlena alone for a while , and maybe that was because he was happy with my mom . but now i do n't know . maybe stefano got bored . spencer : hmm . maybe . billie : what about you ? any luck getting back into alamainia ? spencer : no , since walsh was killed and the agency yanked me out of there , it 's -- well , i 'm having a hard time getting a visa approved . billie : in the meantime ? spencer : john 's all on his own .

[ scene_break ] hope : am i right ? god , john . you are having second thoughts about running away together . this is everything . everything we have dreamed of . you and me on a beach living it up with stefano 's money . after everything he has done to you , to me , how could you not want that ? john : all right , now listen to me . listen . we 're gon na have to be real careful here with this next step or -- t or the other people that we love are really gon na get hurt . hope : other people ? what are you talking about ? john : i 'm talking about your husband . i 'm talking about bo .

[ scene_break ] spencer : so you think the fact that stefano has john and hope cornered in alamainia -- billie : has nothing to do with john looting the company 's fund . it 's ej . spencer : you think the old man knew about it ? billie : maybe . maybe not . maybe ej just stepped up . wanted to knock stefano off the throne . spencer : so ej was perpetrating an international fraud while at the same time running for mayor of this town . billie : well , it seems unlikely that he wanted to improve the lives of the good people of salem , do n't you think ? spencer : in other words , the mayor thing was just a front . billie : exactly . look , ej 's got a posh accent and a law degree , but deep down he is no different than his father . and with stefano off chasing john and hope in alamainia , that works just fine for ej . spencer : huh . we 're gon na need more proof to convince the higher - ups . billie : i realize that . and i 'm gon na get it .

marlena : thank you all for coming to this joyous celebration of love and commitment . today we 're here to witness the marriage of jackson kiriakis and william horton . sonny : [ mouths words ] will : [ mouths words ] daniel : all right , the toys should be upstairs . [ door closes ] daniel : be right back . nicole : okay , i 'll just hang out here . daniel : cool . marlena : i was so honored to be invited to officiate on this very special day . it is n't often we 're invited to be a part of such a very joyous occasion . this wedding has a unique place in all of our lives ... and a precious place in my heart . will and sonny have written their own vows , but before we hear them , they 've asked several people to speak , beginning with will 's great- grandmother ... caroline brady . caroline ? caroline : [ sighs ] eric : grandma ? caroline : mm . eric : you 're up . you can do it . will : it 's okay , grandma . this was really a lot to ask of you , and it 's really okay if you do n't . caroline : will ! will : yes . caroline : sonny . will : that 's right . caroline : uh ... robert and james ran a little specialty shop next to the old fish market called `` gifts from the sea . `` there were some silly gifts , and there were some nice gifts too . when we opened the pub , they were among our first customers -- dark ale with a shot chaser . and then they had this thing . they would -- they would pour each other 's beer , and then they would toast for getting through another day at the docks . [ laughs ] [ cell phone rings ] nicole : oh . hey , miles . wait a minute . i have bad reception . hang on . okay , go ahead . no . no , no , no . i 'll send it to you later . daniel : here they are . nicole : ah , you got the toys . daniel : yeah . nicole : whoo . daniel : oh , look at this thing . nicole : hmm ? daniel : looks like a bloody zombie from hell . nicole : oh , creepy . daniel : yeah . nicole : that 's for little parker ? daniel : yeah , you know what ? i suppose i should go through these . what do you think ? nicole : it is probably a good -- daniel : eh , yeah . nicole : what the hell is that ? caroline : robert could spin a yarn . he was irish , of course , you know -- a touch of blarney . and james could have finished every sentence , 'cause he 'd heard it all before . but he would laugh . and that laugh would just fill the pub . then one day ... robert came in alone , and then he sat at the bar . and shawn set up their special drink , and i was just about to ask , `` where 's james ? `` and then james came in with some people and ... and sat at a table ... and not a word to robert ... like he did n't even know him . and these people -- they were calling him jimmy . we never called him jimmy . he was james , you know ? and robert ... was sitting at the bar and never turned around . and he poured james ' beer ... and then he poured his own . and then he just ... the beer just sat . and robert sat ... looking at it . then it hit me . that was james ' family . then i knew for the first time for sure that they were gay . me -- i never cared . but it never occurred to me ... what it cost them . i do n't know which one of them broke my heart most . but in the end , i knew who the real loser was . it was that family ... 'cause jimmy -- he did n't laugh . he barely spoke . their son , brother , was a stranger to them . so , when will and sonny came to me , i knew that they were nervous . [ chuckles ] but i said to myself , `` hallelujah ! this is a world where we can really know who our precious boys are , and they can really love each other and be who they are . `` congratulations , will ... and sonny . i wish you a lifetime of laughter ... and finishing each other 's sentences . [ laughter ] caroline : if you live long enough , that might come in handy . [ laughter ] [ applause ] justin : one day when sonny was about three years old , i found him on a second- story window ledge . there was a dragon kite stuck in a tree outside his window , and he wanted it , so he was climbing outside and just going for it . [ laughter ] justin : most kids , you struggle to get them to eat their vegetables or do their homework . our struggle was to teach sonny to sometimes just show a little caution . [ laughter ] justin : be careful . he had no fear ... and we had no idea when he was three what a gift that would be for him in his life . sonny came out to his mother and me when he was 15 years old . and like most parents , i was n't surprised when i thought about it . but i was in awe ... of his strength , his certainty . and he told us that he had struggled for a while , but that he knew who he was . it was that fearlessness , that fearlessness that saw him through . i was in awe of that then , and i still am . sonny can handle anything on his own ... but his mother and i are so glad that now he does n't have to , because he 's found a partner in will , someone who will give him a reason to want to come home at night , someone who loves him and supports him and will make sure that no matter what life sends their way ... he will be by his side . nicole : this is a disaster . i mean , how does she even keep track of her money ? daniel : i do n't know . why do n't you ask her ? i 'm sure she 'd love that . nicole : [ chuckles ] look at this . these are tallies . it 's like -- daniel : what ? nicole : it 's like hieroglyphics ... daniel : yeah . nicole : on an ibis . daniel : [ laughs ] nicole : you know what i 'm talking about ? daniel : [ laughs ] i do . nicole : and that looks like snoopy . daniel : snoopy right there . yeah , well , you know , you 're preaching to the choir , 'cause i have secretly considered trying to take this from her and straighten it out , but i do love the fact that she still talks to me , so ... nicole : oh , my god , she 's -- daniel : yeah , do n't go any further . we 're done , done . nicole : done . daniel : done . so let 's drop these off at my place , and we will finally get a bite to eat . nicole : sounds good . daniel : your drum ? nicole : give me the drum . daniel : carry on . let 's go . [ hitting drum ] oh , my gosh , that girl . i 'll tell you what -- you get out out line ... nicole : yeah . daniel : boom . nicole : oh ! daniel : did i hit you ? i did n't hit you . i did not hit you . nicole : you know what ? let me get the door . [ laughter ] daniel : get out of here . nicole : [ laughs ] daniel : oh , my god , i 'm so sorry . lucas : well , you just heard from justin how it was a ... relatively smooth process when sonny came out to his family . and the truth is , it was the exact same way for will when he came out to his family . [ laughter ] lucas : right ? drama - free ! [ laughter ] lucas : no arguments at all . i mean , sami and i are both rational people . we never fight . we never argue . and we always see eye to eye , when it comes to our children especially . [ laughter ] lucas : that laughter -- i 'm very grateful for that . it 's our saving grace in our family . um ... will -- he , uh -- he had it tough growing up . and although i ca n't , uh , fully speak for sami -- i know better -- but today maybe we both can agree that ... our son , will , was , uh ... the best thing we could have ever asked for . he was a better son than we both deserved . and when he came out to us ... sami had a moment . sonny came along , and , uh , their relationship blossomed , and then it was my turn to have a moment . [ light laughter ] lucas : i guess i just thought that deep down my son was going through , uh , some sort of state of confusion and that he would figure things out . but it turns out that i was the one who was confused . i am really sorry for the way i reacted , and i 'm so sorry for the way i treated you , sonny . it 's not the kind of life that i envisioned for my son when he was growing up ... but it is better than anything i could have ever asked for . growing up with two crazy parents like us , despite everything we put you through , you still managed to find the love and happiness that you deserve . and i am just so proud to call you my son . [ applause ] sonny : you know , uh , most people never have to think about why it is that you could even get married ... but we did . and we looked back , and we did some research , and we learned a lot . and abigail and jj were nice enough to help us find photos of people and moments that got us here today . and we would love for all of you to take a look at these photos , after the ceremony , at the reception ... because we owe them ... just like we owe all of you . will : we 're so grateful that you all could and would be here . we could n't imagine this day without each and every one of you . thank you . marlena : let 's make this official . [ laughter ] nicole : oh . daniel : what ? nicole : sonny and will walking down the aisle . [ laughs ] daniel : oh , they look so happy . nicole : yeah . daniel : look at that . nicole : ooh . that 's the kind of grin i 'm gon na have . oh , i ca n't wait to start planning my wedding . daniel : so you have to choose between nicole and the church ? eric : i guess that 's what it comes down to . nicole : the victor wedding i did n't have much to do with , but this is the first wedding that i actually feel like is mine ... and eric 's too , of course . and ... wow . you are awfully quiet . what 's going on ? daniel : uh ... marlena : sonny . sonny : i love a good adventure . that 's been my life . and what my dad said is kind of true . i 've been out on the edge my entire life . i 've been to every continent on this earth , and if someone would have asked me a couple years ago , i would have said that would be my life ... until i met you . you 're my anchor . you 're my anchor that does n't weigh me down ... but gives me something to hold on to ... a reason to make a home . our life together is the greatest adventure of my life . i love you so much . and i ca n't wait to spend the rest of my life with you and arianna . will : i ca n't say that i grew up with the same hunger for adventure that you did . i wanted to escape sometimes , and i did some pretty messed - up things to make that happen . but beside that , i never really thought about my future very much . it felt like my own skin was a coat that was too heavy . and even when i came out , it was n't as though the coat suddenly fit . it was more like i finally understood why it never would . i did n't believe i 'd ever find any kind of love , let alone the love that i 've found with you . e.m. forster once described love as `` two imperfect souls coming together to create something close to perfection . `` that 's how i 've felt since the day that i met you , even if i 'm the one who brings more of the imperfection into the equation . sonny : that 's not true . will : i respect you . i admire you . i adore you . but most of all ... sonny ... i love you . marlena : may we have the rings , please ? will : [ chuckles ] sonny : i , jackson , take you , will ... will : to be my lawfully wedded husband . sonny : i promise to love and honor you through good times and bad ... will : in sickness and health ... sonny : for richer or poorer ... will : for as long as we both shall live . sonny : as i give you this ring ... will : so i give you my heart . marlena : may the love you share ... be the bond that brings you strength and comfort ... and joy ... all the days of your lives . it is my very great honor to pronounce you ... jackson steven kiriakis ... and william robert horton ... husbands for life .

[ chuckles ] eric : you did beautifully . marlena : thank you . that is high praise coming from you . where 's nicole ? eric : she had to work . but she 'd be happy to know that she would have been welcome . marlena : of course . daniel : nothing 's wrong . nothing -- except i 'm hungry . all right , let 's go , come on . nicole : all right , yep , that was pretty smooth . i give it an 85 ... but i know you , jonas . come on , something 's up . what are n't you telling me ? daniel : i 'm telling you , let 's move it , legs . come on .

[ dramatic music ] dario : chad said he does n't want to speak to you anymore . how much more clear- cut could he be ? gabi : no , dar -- just , never mind . he 's moving on , and that 's good enough for me . dario : yeah , yeah , except it sounds like there 's more to it than that . what did he say ? gabi : he did n't ... feelings , they do n't just go away , okay ? dario : he still loves you . gabi : maybe . maybe , but that does n't matter , because he 's married to abigail and he loves her . i mean , what was i supposed to do , jump up on my hospital bed and profess my love ? dario : that 's what i did . except for the hospital bed part . gabi : what ? what do you mean , that 's what you did ? dario : i told abigail i love her . gabi : why would you do that ? dario : because i do . gabi : dario , what -- okay , sorry , what do you expect to gain from this ? dario : i do n't know . i just got all worked up , and i just -- i blurted it out . gabi : okay -- what did she say ? dario : she was shocked . gabi : yeah , no kidding . dario : yeah , she shut me down pretty fast . i - i tried to talk to her about it later , but ... there 's clearly a wall between us . not one i 'm sure i can knock down . gabi : she cut you off too ? dario : guess that 's how they 've decided to deal with their marriage . eliminate any possibility of threats . gabi : is that what we are ? threats ? dario : we definitely could be . [ country music playing ] kate : i just think gabi would be more suitable for you . chad : you 've tried to make this point before . kate : abigail is a horton . things are always so black - and - white with those people . chad : `` those people `` ? lucas is a horton , and so was will . kate : i raised lucas . will had lucas and sami 's influence . abigail is never , ever going to understand you the way gabi does . gabi gets that there 's compromise . compromise is necessary in this world . chad : and what ? there 's nothing wrong with abby pushing me to be a better person . kate : you 're a good person now . she should love you the way you are . chad : she does , and she has my back , always . i know that . kate : till she disappears and lets you think that she died . hmm ? chad : [ groans ] we 've moved past that . kate : all i 'm saying is that i saw you when you thought that she was gone . you walked around here for months like a zombie . you were half dead . i did n't think that we were ever going to get you back , but then we did , because gabi gave you a reason to live . chad , i have never seen you happier than the time that you spent with gabi . [ dramatic music ] lani : it 's funny -- i do n't remember us asking for help from the fbi . eli : oh , you do n't have to ask for the fbi . lani : you know what , it 's pretty arrogant of you to just assume that we could n't do this on our own . eli : well , in the last three months , there have been beatings , poisonings , kidnappings , explosions at sea , and a whole host of other crimes all committed by three families . how many arrests have you made ? jj : we brought in one of deimos kiriakis ' henchmen . eli : i 'll alert the media . look , i 'm not here to fix any mistakes you guys have made -- lani : mistakes ? eli : in the past . i 'm here to stop this war from escalating . jj : transfer is a done deal ? eli : signed and sealed . so . there 's no reason to fight . lani : you better not get in our way . eli : oh , i 'm sorry . do you not like when people interfere in your business ? you sure did n't have a problem interfering in mine . lani : you know what , i was just trying to help you with your mom , and now you 're just gon na throw it back in my face ? eli : help me ? jj : okay ! let 's all take a step back here . eli , i wish you would 've said something to me before you went and talked to fbi brass . but -- eli : [ clears throat ] jj : all that matters is us trying to stop this war before someone gets killed . eli : finally , a voice of reason . jj : we can find a way to work together . eli : that 's all i want , all right , so let 's have a seat and go over these files . jj : in the morning . lani and i are headed out . eli : that explains the getup . lani : `` the getup `` ? jj : all right , we got to go . this has been fun . we 'll see you tomorrow . eli : look forward to it . jj : all right . [ dramatic music ] paul : sonny , if deimos finds out that you 're working with the police , you will not be safe . sonny : if i stay out of it , nobody will be safe . i do n't have a choice , paul . my family 's legacy is on the line . i 'm not gon na stand around and watch deimos destroy what my grandfather , my dad , and i have been working for . and i love that you 're worried about me and you care about me , okay ? but i 'm really hoping you 're with me on this one . paul : and your mind is set ? on this ? sonny : dead set . paul : yeah , that 's a bad choice of words . sonny : this is what i have to do . paul : then you know that i 'm with you . gabi : [ chuckles ] eli : hey ! when 'd you get released ? gabi : hi ! about half an hour ago . thank you again for the flowers . eli : well ? did they work ? you change your mind ? gabi : [ giggles ] dario : d - d - did i miss something here ? gabi : well ... eli : i put my number in gabi 's phone , and i asked her out . she turned me down flat . [ laughs ] but i have a feeling i 'll wear down her defenses eventually . dario : yeah , she 's very stubborn . eli : so am i . gabi : hey ! eli : well , i 'm gon na get my takeout and head back to work . see you guys around . gabi : see you . dario : whoa . he is into you . gabi : yeah , well , i think maybe he feels guilty because our first date ended in me being kidnapped . dario : oh , yeah , that -- that was - that was a bad ending . gabi : also , i have n't ruled out that he may be trying to get some information out of me . dario : what kind of information ? gabi : i forgot to mention he works for the fbi . dario : yeah . yeah , somehow , you - you forgot to mention that . gabi : yeah , and he asked me questions about chad and deimos , so probably wo n't be long until he asks me questions about our own family . [ country music playing ] chad : i ca n't deny how much gabi meant to me . you know , when i thought my life was over , gabi was there . gabi - gabi brought fun back into it for me . she helped me - helped me take care of my business and my son , and she helped me pick up the pieces , but none of that would have happened if i knew abigail was still alive ! kate : that 's not the point . chad : yes , it is . it is the point , because abigail is back , and she 's in my life again . kate : oh , i see . okay . so she returns - she returns , and suddenly , your feelings for gabi just magically disappear ? [ dramatic music ] chad : uh , no ! kate : no ! of course they do n't , because it does n't work that way , chad . you 're in love with gabi . you still are . chad : i thought they would 've -- i thought that my feelings would 've ... i thought that they 'd be gone by now . kate : why ? because you wanted them to be ? chad : no . because i am devoted to my wife and my son . love them both . kate : okay . but the thing is , one thing does n't have anything to do with the other . even deimos knew that you -- that you could n't make a choice . chad : deimos is gon na get -- get what 's his , okay ? but one thing that - that happened with all of that , almost losing abigail and gabi , was it brought me clarity . it reinforced my decision to say good - bye to gabi . i ca n't see her . i do n't want to be around her . i - i - i am gon na commit fully to my marriage . that is how i will get over her . kate : sounds to me like you 're running away . excited about doing a ceremony at the lake ? abigail : mm . i 'm not so sure it 's the best plan . chad : what do you mean ? why not ? looked incredible . abigail : you know me , i get these crazy romantic notions . chad : yeah , that is exactly what i love about you . abigail : i mean , it 's not about setting . it 's - it 's not about setting . it 's not about the party . it 's not about the people . it ... it 's about you and me . and so it should be intimate and personal , and we can just have it here like we did the wedding . chad : that 's -- if that 's what you want . abigail : yeah . it does n't matter where we have it . we can invite jj and my mom and andré and ... kate if you want . chad : what 's wrong ? abigail : nothing . it 's just that kate does n't like me very much . chad : that 's not true . abigail : no , she does n't . chad : no . abigail : and she wants you to be with gabi . chad : well , kate ... kate - kate likes to think she knows everything . okay ? but her opinion does n't matter . mine does . you are the only woman that i want to be with . i love you more than anything . do you have any doubts about that ? abigail : no . not anymore . i hate the position that deimos put you in , but ... i love that you choose me first . chad : just acted on instinct . abigail : i 'm starving . chad : [ chuckles ] let 's -- you want to , um -- let 's go get some - let 's go get some food , and then we can talk more about the ceremony . abigail : okay . yeah . chad : yeah . i ca n't -- you know -- wait . i ca n't -- you know , i just ca n't - i ca n't wait to marry you again . abigail : me too . paul : ah , so it looks like you two are n't sick of each other . you 're partners at work all day , and you still want to spend time together after hours . that 's a good sign . jj : mm , what can i say ? she ca n't get enough of me . lani : i was just gon na say the same thing about him . jj : and i 'm about to look extra good now that eli 's going to be around . sonny : what about eli ? lani : can you believe that jerk got himself reassigned to salem ? just so he can watch over our shoulders . jj : well , i do n't think that 's exactly the reason . lani : look . i know he 's your cousin , but all he 's gon na do is just annoy us and get in the way of our investigation . jj : here 's what i know . you and i are a team , and nothing 's going to get in the way of that . lani : mm . jj : come here . [ sultry music playing ] dario : i officially support your decision not to go out with eli again . gabi : now that you know he 's fbi ? dario : you know , it 's bad enough having jj hang around all the time . we do n't need a fed up in our business . gabi : rafe is a cop . should i stay away from him too ? dario : gabi , that 's family . this is different . you get to decide who you date , whether i like it or not . gabi : whatever . so you do n't want me with jj or eli because they 're in law enforcement , but then you do n't want me with chad because he 's a dimera . dario : listen , you are a strong woman . you - you should focus on your career . you do n't need a man . gabi : oh , yeah . that 's - that 's great . why do n't i just join a convent ? i 'll make a great nun . i can ... head over to the church of ... holy cross , talk to sister agnes , and you know what , maybe they 'll throw in an exorcism to see if i can get over chad . dario : listen , it 's gon na happen . i know it hurts . believe me -- i know . just give it some time . abigail : yeah . [ chuckles ] [ dramatic music ] chad : um ... if you ... abigail : no , no . it 's okay . it 's a small town . we 're gon na run into her at some point . chad : okay . [ dramatic music ] gabi : hey , maybe we should leave . dario : why should we leave ? they 're the ones who cut us off . besides , we were here first . i still have n't finished my french fries . gabi : i lost my appetite . dario : you know , we should just get used to seeing them . it 's gon na happen sooner or later . gabi : so , what , we just pretend like they 're not here ? dario : exactly . gabi : how the hell am i supposed to do that ? dario : willpower . jj : i think we 're gon na call it a night . paul : so early ? lani : yeah , we got to be back at the station , bright and early , to face eli . paul : she sure is giving your cousin a warm welcome , huh ? lani : what he deserves is a nice swift kick where it counts . jj : on that note , this has been fun . we should do it again . sonny : we should , yes . and next time , we wo n't spend the entire night talking about deimos . jj : we can dream , ca n't we ? lani : bye , guys . jj : have a good night . sonny : see you later . paul : bye . sonny : be safe . you know , it 's not that i do n't enjoy hanging out with them , but i have been waiting all night to be alone with you .

[ laughing ] kate : you 're with him ? what the hell are you thinking ? sonny : you have a problem with me seeing paul ? kate : do i even have to answer that ? marlena : hi , fellas . um , look , they 're having a nice night out . why do n't we just leave them alone ? kate : i ca n't do that . sonny : marlena ? marlena : hmm ? sonny : you - you want to keep paul company just for a second ? i 'll be right back . marlena : sure . sonny : what is your problem ? kate : have you forgotten that paul is the one that broke up your marriage to my grandson ? sonny : it is more complicated than that , and you know it . kate : it 's just not right . it 's not right -- it 's like you 're spitting on will 's memory . sonny : you do n't think i 've felt that ? you do n't think i 've asked myself those same questions ? am i forgetting about will ? am i disrespecting what we had ? kate , i have been resisting my feelings for paul for a very long time . i hated myself for feeling them at all . kate : you 're not resisting them anymore . sonny : i loved will . i would n't be who i am today without him . not a single day goes by that i do n't miss him . if i go to the park with arianna or we share ice cream together , when she calls me daddy , i miss him , and i would give anything to have him here right now . but he 's gone . and he 's never coming back . paul is a great guy . he cares about me so much . and arianna . he 's so genuine , he 's so sweet , and he 's so fun . i will never , ever forget about will , but paul is in my life now . okay ? it would mean the world to me if you could respect that , please , and be happy for me . and if you ca n't , then at least just ... stay out of it . kate : do you love him ? sonny : think he feels the same way . kate : he better . i 'm sorry , i just ... i think i miss will so much , it 's just really hard for me to see you with anyone else . paul : i think will would want me to find love . kate : i know he would . jj : so are we totally lame for bailing so early ? lani : do you care ? jj : not really . lani : so , were you telling the truth about wanting to get a good night 's sleep ? jj : sleep is important . lani : mm . jj : but i wanted to spend some more time with you . alone . lani : we spent all day together . jj : i know . lani : mm - hmm . and we 're back at the station first thing in the morning . jj : yep . lani : you sure you 're not getting tired of me ? jj : no , that 's never gon na happen . lani : we should go back to my place . jj : i ca n't . gabi : i saw you looking over there . dario : no , i was n't . gabi : you 're not as slick as you think you are . dario : okay , fine , i was , but it was n't on purpose . gabi : what happened to willpower ? dario : i 'm working on it . gabi : yeah , me too . [ country music playing ] dario : why does she have to look so damn good ? gabi : to torture you . dario : she 's succeeding . abigail : [ chuckling ] chad : look , we do n't have to pretend this is n't awkward . abigail : mm - hmm .

rex : mm , yeah . maggie : mm . you cheated on my daughter on numerous occasions -- once with her sister . rex : maggie , i have done some terrible things , yes . maggie : that we can agree . but you see i 've -- i 've tried to keep my hands off on this relationship , but there 's been something that 's been eating at me all this time . rex : i completely understand . maggie : well , i hope you do . because you 're a parent now , rex , and as a parent , it is your responsibility to look out for your daughter , whether she 's 2 or 32 . and i just ca n't stand the idea that my daughter is marrying a serial cheater . chloe : i told you we ca n't do this right now . stefan : we 're both feeling something here . chloe : i - i just ca n't think about being with anyone until the people who are trying to kill me are locked away . eli : hopefully we 're a step closer to making that happen . brady : the guy put you through hell , gabi . if i were you , i 'd be obsessed with getting revenge on him . gabi : oh , i have been . believe me . brady : so ... have you given up ? gabi : no . hell no . i want him to suffer as much as he 's made me suffer . that 's why i took charlotte away from him . brady : all right . well , let 's not stop there . let 's take chloe away from him too . gabi : brady , w -- they 're not even together yet . i mean , if i take her away , that 's just gon na scratch the surface , and that 's not gon na do anything . so unless you have a plan to bury stefan , then we do n't really have anything to talk about , right ? okay . brady : hold up . hold up . hold on , hold on , hold on . i do have a plan . and it 's to hit stefan ... exactly where it hurts the most . - recycling clothes can both benefit charities - where 's a woman 's place ? kate : sometimes you are your own worst enemy , victor . victor : worst ? huh . i 've had some pretty nasty enemies . kate : really ? do you consider me one ? victor : i 'd be a fool not to after all the times you tried to take me down . kate : it was just business . victor : oh , really , kate ? is it ever just business with you ? kate : actually , this time you 're right . it 's very personal . victor : well , then , i want nothing to do with it . will you please just move along so i can enjoy the rest of my day ? kate : [ sighs ] you are a stubborn mule . if you just swallow your pride for one minute , you would see that you need me a hell of a lot more than i need you . stefan : you have a new lead on the cartel ? lani : we had an informant i d a couple of suspects who were linked to the shootings . chloe : they 're here in town ? eli : they were . but you already knew that , did n't you , stefan ? the informant gave that information to your chief of security , ben weston ... yesterday . lani : it would have been nice if you shared that with us . chloe : stefan , did you know about this ? eli : you do know that we 're all trying to find the people that shot at chloe , right ? stefan : never had much reason to trust salem pd . lani : are you saying you do n't want our help ? chloe : stefan , please work with the police . the cartel 's after me and my family . we need all the help we can get . gabi : you have a plan to bury stefan ? brady : mm - hmm . gabi : okay , let 's hear it . brady : ever since he 's come to salem , there 's been one thing that he 's wanted -- one thing -- and that 's a family . gabi : yeah , orphan , blah - blah - blah , unloved , you know , all that , whatever . brady : and he tried to make it happen with gabby with a y , did n't he ? gabi : yeah , but he could n't because she 's not real . brady : exactly . so now he wants to do it with chloe . gabi : you really think he 's that invested already ? brady : did you see how fast he moved chloe and her kids into his house ? who the hell does that , gabi ? gabi : someone that does n't like to be alone . brady : yes . gabi : and desperately wants a real connection with another person . brady : exactly , gabi . desperate . the man is desperate . he wants to have someone that loves him and cares about him , instead of someone that sees him as a soulless monster . gabi : mm . that almost would be sad , except he is a soulless monster . brady : i agree . think about it . he lost charlotte . he lost abigail . the one thing he has n't lost in the world is his desire to have that family . do n't underestimate the pain that he 's gon na feel if we rip chloe and those kids away from him . eric : you know , you and i , we spent a lot of time together after nicole died . you were -- you were my lifeline . sarah : and you were mine when i found out rex had cheated , which is pretty much the worst time in my life . eric : yeah , it made me mad just to think that he 'd even look at another woman when he had you . sarah : well , now he knows how it feels . eric : yeah , i 'd say he was pretty mad when he found out about that kiss . sarah : yeah , he was mad at you . when he and i were alone , it ... he just seemed hurt . and sad . i mean , he told me that he 'd -- he 'd wait as long as it took for me to be sure that i wanted to be with him . eric : yeah , well , he did n't have to wait very long . sarah : no . actually , surprised myself when i said yes . eric : you did ? sarah : yeah , it just -- it felt like the right thing to do . and when i realized that ... whatever i was feeling for you was n't being returned and that we were never gon na ... just saw things clearly in that moment . eric : and that 's why you accepted his proposal ? sarah : rex loves me , eric . i 'm not sure i 'll ever meet anyone who loves me as much . rex : maggie , i completely understand that you want what 's best for your daughter , but you do know that she forgave me , right ? maggie : yeah , that 's what she tells me . rex : okay , and i hope that you can do the same , 'cause i can promise you -- as i promised her -- i will never betray her again . maggie : i want to believe that . but from experience , people do n't change all that much . rex : you married victor . obviously , you think he 's changed . maggie : he is n't perfect . rex : who is , maggie ? i 'm not perfect . sarah 's not perfect . we 've both done things that have hurt each other . maggie : oh . you mean because of the tryst with xander . rex : all i 'm saying is that people make mistakes . maggie : rex , let 's be clear : you two were n't together when that happened . and for you to compare what she did to what you did to her ... rex : what about eric ? you know she kissed eric ? maggie : i 'm aware my daughter has wrestled with her feelings for eric . rex : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . feelings ? sarah told me that it was a crush . what did she tell you ? victor : so you want me to believe that you 're looking out for my best interest ? kate : i can help you make titan great again . victor : says the woman who instigated a fraudulent lawsuit that almost burned the whole thing down . kate : oh , please . come on . it 's ancient history . victor : come on , kate . it 's your old pal victor . why titan ? surely it ca n't be purely nostalgia . kate : you really wan na know , old pal ? it 's the best way to take down dimera and crush stefan . stefan : let 's see what you got on this new lead . eli : we brought some photos for chloe to take a look at . chloe : i told you , i did n't see who shot at us . lani : we know , but maybe you 've seen these guys around the club watching you . chloe : okay . no . no . no . wait . i ... stefan : you recognize him ? chloe : yeah , i think this guy looks familiar . eli : what about him ? chloe : oh , my god . yes . yes . i think i 've seen these guys . brady : do i have your attention now ? gabi : you do . brady : good . 'cause we have to move on this fast . i think he 's still raw from losing charlotte . if he lost chloe right now , i think he would n't be able to handle it . gabi : okay , all right , but you know he 's not gon na let her go without a fight . brady : i know . which is where you come in . gabi : how ? what -- what could i do to come between stefan and chloe ? brady : seduce him . rex : maggie , what did sarah tell you about her feelings for eric ? maggie : well , that 's not for me to say . ask sarah . rex : i already did . look , you ca n't just drop a bomb on me like this and expect me to let it go . maggie : well , it 's not for me to say . ask your fiancée . rex : she said that she kissed him . she admitted to that . but she said it was nothing . it did n't mean anything . we 're supposed to be married soon . if you know something different , maggie , please , you got ta tell me now . sarah : i know it feels like i 'm rushing into this marriage -- rushing in like i always do . eric : as long as it 's what you want . sarah : what i want . eric : did you tell your mother ? sarah : yeah . eric : how does she feel about the wedding being back on ? sarah : she ... has her concerns . she 's worried that rex will hurt me again . are you ? eric : this is your life , sarah . i mean , if ... it 's rex who you want to spend it with , then nobody should stand in your way . sarah : you 're happy for me ? eric : i 'm happy for you ... if you 're happy . [ laughs ] of course i 'm happy for you . sarah : you have no idea how much that means to me . [ tender music ] maggie : eric was supportive of sarah when she found out that you had cheated on her . and she was there to help him out when ... when he was dealing with nicole 's death by caring for holly . rex : i know this . i understand all this . and i 'm happy -- i 'm glad that they were there for each other , to help each other through dark times . maggie : they have a nice connection . rex : yeah , they do . maggie : sarah can trust him . rex : and she ca n't trust me ? maggie : i 'm not sure she can . rex : what about when eric went behind brady 's back with nicole ? maggie : that was different . rex : oh , god . really ? how ? maggie , you of all people , supporting eric when he was responsible for your son 's death ? maggie : i forgave him for that . rex : oh , my -- come on . so you forgave eric for literally killing your son , but you ca n't forgive me for cheating on your daughter ? maggie : being angry with eric wo n't bring my son , daniel , back . but this is happening now , and i ca n't be sure that you wo n't hurt my daughter again . eric : so is rex okay , knowing about the kiss ? sarah : he understands that it did n't mean anything . eric : i told brady that rex knows . sarah : oh , good . now he ca n't hold that over your head or force you to help him get chloe away from stefan . eric : yeah , well , i have you to thank for that . sarah : sure . how did brady take it ? eric : he was n't happy . put a real guilt trip on me . said if anything was to happen to holly while living in stefan 's house , it would be my fault . sarah : do you think that she 's safe ? eric : chloe 's a good mother . i know that she would never put holly in harm 's way . but stefan dimera -- sarah : he 's bad news . eric : i mean , what if something did happen ? you know , brady 's right . i would never ... be able to live with myself . victor : now , there 's the kate that i know ... and do n't particularly like . kate : you want to dismantle dimera just as much as i do . victor : mm , probably more so . kate : okay , what 's with the hesitation , then ? victor : well , i want to best stefan dimera ... but then , i want to best all my competitors . kate : so ? victor : so with you , this is all purely personal , and i 'm not sure i want to get caught up in it . kate : [ sighs ] sounds like you 're afraid of a personal grudge , i do n't know . sounds like you 're scared , victor . lani : you 've definitely seen these men ? chloe : yeah , i 've definitely seen them at the club . stefan : so you 'll bring them in for questioning , then ? lani : yesterday we might have . chloe : yesterday ? eli : according to our informant , they have already left salem . they 're out of our jurisdiction . stefan : i do n't care about jurisdiction ; i care about keeping these people off the streets . eli : well , unlike you , we have to follow the laws . and if you and ben weston would have shared that information yesterday , we 'd have these people in custody already . stefan : oh , so you 're gon na blame the incompetence of the salem pd on me ? how about you two do your jobs and keep killers from walking around ? eli : we 're doing everything we can . stefan : you know what ? get out of my house . i can handle this on my own . chloe : stefan , stop . stefan : no , no , no . we do n't need them . chloe : please . these men have threatened my children . please do whatever you can . lani : we will . i promise . we 'll be in touch with updates . chloe : thank you . [ tense music ] what the hell are you doing ? are you trying to get me killed ? gabi : you want me to seduce stefan ? brady : what , you do n't think you could pull it off ? [ powerful music ] gabi : g -- the guy disgusts me . okay , i ca n't even be close to him -- ugh ! brady : gabi , hold on . gabi : no , no , no , no . brady : hear me out . hear me out . gabi : brady , it 's a no . brady : you 've already told me that you 're not interested in feeding any more inside information on the guy to me , all right ? gabi : he 's suspicious of me already . brady : i understand that . what if ... you controlled dimera ? and then you would n't have to worry about it . you would also have complete control over gabi chic . gabi : hold on a second . wait a minute . wait . how did this go from i 'm seducing stefan to now i 'm controlling dimera ? brady : it 's very simple . step one : you seduce him . step two : you marry him . step three : you take him for everything he 's got . you take his business . you take his money . you take his heart . and once you have all those things in your hands , we burn his ass to the ground . victor : believe me , i 'm not afraid of stefano dimera 's bastard son . kate : then why not join the fight ? victor : what 's your main gripe in this , anyway ? kate : stefan dimera is a blight on salem . and it 's not going to end until someone puts a stop to him . so what do you say we team up and give him a lesson in respect ? chloe : the police are trying to protect me . stefan : the police are worthless . they do n't help people like us . chloe , when you moved in here , i promised you that i would do everything in my power to keep you safe , and i hope you still feel like i 'm following through on that . chloe : i do , but i also feel like you 're frustrated because i ca n't give you what you really want . stefan : do i want something more than friendship ? yes . chloe , i can make this better for you . just like you can make it better for me . we would be so good together . gabi : you know you sound crazy , right ? i 'm supposed to just -- i 'm supposed to seduce stefan , and then he 's gon na ask me to marry him ? brady : gabi , the man has been a pariah since he came to town , okay ? he has no friends . he 's lonely . the only woman that 's shown him any attention was a glitch in abigail 's brain . and he fell madly in love with that . trust me . you show him a little bit of tenderness , make him feel a little special , he 's gon na be putty in your arms . gabi : you really think it 's that easy ? brady : yeah , i do . i do . i think if you find a time to just spontaneously kiss him or something , it 'll happen . gabi : [ inhales sharply ] brady : what ? gabi : well , brady , i , uh -- i already kissed him . brady : what ? gabi : yep . shocked the hell out of him . brady : we -- hold on a second . i thought you two hated each other . gabi : well , it was a -- it was a hate kiss . brady : it was a hate ki -- gabi : mm - hmm . brady : hate kiss . how did he respond to your hate kiss ? gabi : well , after he got over the shock , he said it did nothing for him , but i know he was lying . brady : ah . he was into it , was n't he ? gabi : what can i say ? i 'm a good kisser . brady : good for you . this is perfect . do you understand how perfect this is ? you 've already laid the seeds . all you have to do is let him know how much that his kiss affected you . can you do that ? gabi : you forgot what i just told you . i hate him . i - i think he 's a disgusting human being . brady : you know what , gabi ? i do too . but you have to look at the good side . you know , he 's got this brooding thing going on . he has money ; he has power . you know , look at those things . gabi : what are you suggesting ? brady : i think what i 'm suggesting is , you probably would n't have kissed him if there wasn't ... a little bit of you that wanted to . eric : you know , i think about nicole 's last words , and there 's this part of me that just wants to break into the dimera mansion , grab holly , and run . sarah : i do n't blame you . eric : yeah , but when i see holly and how happy she is with chloe and parker , i just think i did the right thing . sarah : yeah . i did notice that when they visit , she has finally stopped asking where her mom is . eric : it breaks my heart . you know , but i 'm glad she 's adjusting . sarah : i will never let her forget who her mother is , you know , but it -- right now she needs stability . eric : so you think i 'm right by not being in the middle of it ? sarah : i do . not that my opinion means anything . eric : hey . no , no . do n't say that . what you think means a lot . sarah , you will always be important to me . rex : maggie , with all due respect , it does n't matter what you think . sarah has accepted my proposal . maggie : have you asked yourself why -- why now ? rex : because she 's forgiven me . she 's trusting me again . maggie : and you 're not the least little bit concerned that it 's related to eric ? rex : no , because there 's nothing going on between them . sarah accepted my proposal because she wants to share a life with me . maggie : i hope that 's true . 'cause i would hate to think that she was only getting married to get over someone else . and if i were you , i would n't want that either . kate : victor , come on . you know that i could go anywhere with this offer , and i would think that you would have learned by now that it 's better to have me working with you than against you . victor : well , sometimes it 's too hard to tell the difference . kate : really ? i mean , really ? have you forgotten what a great team we made ? the company was the strongest it 's ever been . the power was intoxicating . victor : i have n't forgotten . kate : i know that we 've clashed over the years . but we clash so often for the same reason that we were such a great team together . because we both have the same killer instinct . and i really hate to say it , but you have lost your edge these past few years . you lost it when you married maggie . rex : [ laughs ] you really do n't want me to marry sarah , do you ? maggie : what i want is for my daughter to be happy . and i have serious doubts that you 're the man for the job . rex : oh , but eric is the man for the job ? maggie : i did n't say that , but i 'm worried that she 's rushing into something with you to avoid her attraction to eric . rex : oh , god , i 'm not -- i 'm not gon na do this anymore . i love sarah . eric does not love sarah . in fact , he said that to her face . now , excuse me . i 'm off shift right now . i have n't eaten a damn thing all day . maggie : is n't it possible eric was n't telling sarah the truth when he said he did n't care ? rex : and why the hell would he do that ? maggie : because he did n't want to hurt you . i 'll be back to check on will later . chloe : i can see how much you want to be with me , and it 's flattering . stefan : this is more than just physical . chloe , you are special . and you know i 've already bonded with holly . i see so much of myself in her , orphaned at such a young age . all i want to do is provide her with love and safety . and the same goes for parker . chloe : and i love seeing how good you 've been with the kids , and it 's been so great for them too . stefan : look , i 'm not trying to pressure you . i 'm just trying to be honest about my feelings . i think we could be really good together . chloe : and i promise you that we will talk about this once those men are caught . stefan : and they will be . i 'll call ben . and as soon as that happens , we can start to build a life together . [ soft music ] gabi : i am not attracted to stefan . brady : it 's fine . does n't matter . it 's irrelevant anyway . i 'm not here to make a love connection . what matters is that he is into you . gabi : all right . let 's just say he 's into me . let 's just say i do get him into bed . why would he marry me ? brady : because he wants a wife and kids so badly . he has fixated on the idea , and you and ari are an instant family for him . this is gon na work . so get on in there and do it . make him fall for you . gabi : it 's very easy for you to say . you 're not the one that has to get him into bed . brady : i think that if you thought this was a bad idea and could n't possibly work , you would have walked away a while ago , and yet you are still here . go get him , tiger . eric : thank you . sarah : for what ? eric : being my sounding board , my friend . sarah : any time . you know , just 'cause i 'm marrying your brother does n't mean that i ca n't still be here for you . eric : back at you . sarah : you know , when we were comforting holly after you 'd lost nicole , it meant a lot to me . the world felt like a dark place , and seeing you -- how loving and caring you were in the midst of all that struggle , it just gave me hope . eric : i was having trouble finding hope for myself . sarah : but you did find it . you 're a good influence on me , eric brady . eric : [ laughs ] i do n't know about that . sarah : come on . you are . you ... when i bounce off the walls and act on pure impulse , like when i went off on that poor couple here in the pub , you 're always there to slow me down and remind me about what 's important . i wan na be more like you . eric : oh , stop it . stop , 'cause you 're perfect just the way you are . sarah : thank you for saying that . eric : i mean it . i would n't change a thing . [ door slams shut ] rex : am i interrupting ? victor : marrying maggie did not cost me my edge . kate : how many times has she demanded that you back off from being a tough and ruthless man ? victor : maggie and i have an understanding . kate : yeah , the understanding is that you are not who you really are , and how does she reward you for that ? giving you a cup of tea and a homemade muffin ? victor : do n't talk about maggie that way . kate : okay . all right . that 's fine . i 'm sure you and maggie have a lovely life , but i know you miss the game . and i know you miss winning . and if the two of us team up again , it will be just like the old days , and we will crush our enemies into dust , and the rest of the world will tremble in fear . oh , look who 's here . maggie : hello , kate . kate : so why do n't you think about what i 've said . take good care of him , maggie . maggie : oh , i will . what was that all about ? you know what ? i do n't even care . how about we , um , grab a cup of tea or something else ? eli : you hungry ? we can get something at the café . lani : no . i 'm okay . eli : what 's up ? lani : i just -- i keep thinking about chloe and what she 's going through , how -- how worried she is about her kids . eli : it 's a scary situation . lani : i still feel it , that overprotectiveness that only comes from being a mother . and even though david abraham is n't here with us , um , in my heart i 'm always his mom . eli : and you 'll always be his mom ... forever . lani : i miss him , eli . some days more than others . i 'll always miss him . eli : i miss him too . brady : hey . that security detail out there , is that for you ? chloe : mm - hmm . stefan 's committed to keeping me safe . brady : well , i 'm glad to hear that . chloe : brady , i need him right now . brady : i kn -- chloe , your priority is protecting your kids , and i respect that . if stefan can provide that for you , then good for him . chloe : so does that mean you will stop meddling in our lives ? brady : [ laughs ] meddling . yeah . i know that you can make your own choices . chloe : seriously . brady : that 's what you want . you want me to back off a little bit , i 'll do that . i 'll respect your wishes . no problem . chloe : thank you , brady . that means a lot . [ suspenseful music ] gabi : [ sighs ] i brought the paperwork for you to look at . stefan : you could have sent a messenger . gabi : well , he was late , and we are on a time crunch . what ? stefan : nothing . gabi : so initial right there . yep , sign right there . one more initial . yeah . stefan : you sure it was an unreliable messenger ? not because you wanted to see me ? gabi : why would you say that ? stefan : i do n't know . maybe the kiss we shared . gabi : stefan , do n't flatter yourself . that kiss meant nothing . stefan : maybe you have n't been able to stop thinking about it . gabi : i think you 're the one that has n't been able to stop thinking about it . sarah : rex . hi . rex : hi . sarah : you 're not interrupting anything at all . rex : really ? 'cause it just looked like a serious moment between the two of you . sarah : yeah , well , we were talking about brady and about chloe living with stefan . rex : and because i know about the kiss now , brady does n't have any power over you anymore . right ? eric : right . rex : i 'm just really glad we cleared that up . sarah : me too . rex : so did you share with my brother our great news ? eric : dad -- he told me first . congratulations . rex : thank you . eric : i 'm happy for you . for both of you . you 're a lucky man . rex : yeah . yeah , i am . | brady wanted gabi to help him get stefan . she was n't willing to do it unless he had a plan . he told her he had a plan . eric and sarah talked about her marrying rex . maggie talked to rex about him cheating on sarah . maggie did n't want him to marry rex . kate tried to convince victor to hire her . while maggie and rex were talking , she let it slip that sarah had feelings for eric . rex thought it was a crush and wanted to know what sarah told her . eli and lani went to the dimera mansion and told them that they had witnesses who were able to identify the drug cartel . eli said stefan already knew that . chloe wanted to know if he knew about it . lani wanted to know why he kept it from them . kate told victor that her working for him would be the best way to take down stefan . eli and lani showed chloe pictures of guys who could have been watching her . chloe recognized some of the people . brady thought stefan losing chloe would tear him apart . brady wanted gabi to seduce him . rex wanted to know what sarah told maggie . maggie told him to ask sarah . rex said that sarah kissed eric , but wanted to know what else happened . eric wanted sarah to have what she wanted . he wanted to know how maggie felt about the wedding . she said maggie had her concerns . she wanted to know how he felt . he said he was happy if she was happy . |

brandon : it 's not what you think . sami : yes , it is . i know that she is beautiful and sexy and -- and smart and -- and because she 's married , she 's forbidden fruit , and that makes her so much more interesting to you . and then -- and then on top of that , she 's a doctor , and she 's got this fancy degree , and i 'm just a lousy receptionist with barely a high school diploma . brandon : what , you think i care about that ? i do n't care about some fancy degree . samantha , you are smart and funny and beautiful and -- i am committed to you . i 've told you that over and over again . i - i gave up my apartment . i moved in here . sami : [ sobs ] brandon : come here . hey . i love you . truly , madly , deeply . sami : no , you don't . brandon : let me prove it to you . roman : i can not remember the last time i fired one of these . kate : now , is that really true , or are you just saying that for my benefit ? bo : let 's give these two a little space . hope : good idea . roman : you know what ? i am very flattered that you are so worried about me . makes me feel kind of ... warm and fuzzy inside . kate : oh . see , you 're making fun of me now . roman : no , i 'm not . i mean it . kate : oh , god , if anyone had ever told me a year ago that i would be seeing someone who puts their life on the line on such a regular basis , i -- roman : oh , come on . you enjoy the adrenaline rush . kate : i do not . roman : not even a little bit ? kate : all right . you need to tell me , on a scale of 1 to 10 -- just how dangerous , really , is this mission ? roman : a walk in the park would probably be more exciting . kate : no . no way . roman : bo and i are going to sit in the car . we 're going to eat a bunch of doughnuts . in fact , we 're going to eat so many doughnuts , afterward , i 'm going to have to go to the gym , work it off . kate : i do n't believe you . roman : it 's true . bo and i are going to sit in the car . wee e going to watch a lot of people come and go . we 're going to take some pictures . if we luck out , we just might get a search warrant . that 's about it . kate : you promise ? roman : well , nothing 's guaranteed . kate : oh , god , roman . why ca n't you just go back to school d become a cpa or something ? hope : bo , bo -- bo : hmm ? what ? huh ? hope : what ? kate is so worried about roman . it 's so obvious that she 's in love with him . bo : hmm , strange bedfellows , huh ? hope : i think it 's really sweet . i wonder if they 'll ever admit how much they care about each other . bo : uh - oh . i recognize that look in your eye . hope : what look ? bo : just do n't go playing cupid . hope : i would n't dream of it . bo : uh - huh . roman . we got to get going . roman : sure thing . kate : um ... before you go , there 's something that i need to tell you . roman : talk to me . kate : it 's something that i 've wanted to say for a while . brandon : i love you . you -- every inch of you . brady : ha ha ha ha ha . victor : what ? what 's so funny ? brady : i 'm sorry . i have n't gotten much sleep . or i might be a little punchy . or maybe i did n't hear you right . victor : i asked you to join titan . brady : i did hear you right . victor : i 've been keeping an eye on you , brady , and i must say , i 'm very impressed with the work you 've been doing for your father . you 've picked up the business so quickly . you 've got what it takes , brady . you could develop into a major corporate executive . i 'd like that to happen at my company . brady : i do n't get it . are you ticked off at philip , trying to raid kate 's staff ? victor : i 'm trying to give you a compliment . why ca n't you accept that in positive light ? brady : well , i really do n't know what to say , or what my father would say , for that matter . victor : well , i would hope your father would see it as a tremendous opportunity for you . let me assure you , this has nothing to do with kate or with philip . philip has decided to go into the marine corps . i mean , may god keep him safe . but even before that , i mean , he showed very little interest , if any , in my business . i need you , brady . i have no one left to groom . i 'm hoping you 'll take over for me one day . brady : this business that you want me to take over , um ... it 's legit , right ? victor : 100 % . brady : because you know if it was n't , then i -- victor : i know you 're an honorable man . i respect that . listen , you come to work for me , you can write your own ticket . start wherever you like , wherever you feel comfortable . i 'll pay you an excellent salary . are you interested ? roman : i 'm listening . bo : roman , let 's get moving . kate : come here for a second . bo : where are they going ? hope : they 're going in to have a little private talk . i would say something 's up , and it 's good . roman : all right . what 'd you want to tell me , kate ? kate : ha ha ha . do you remember when we first started seeing each other ? roman : yeah . kate : ha ha . it was pretty crazy , was n't it ? i mean , it was absolutely insane to think that you and me and us getting together , but ... we did come together , did n't we ? and we found ... roman : companionship ? grt t sex ? interesting debates ? kate : ha ha ha . yes , all of that . and i 'm really liking it , and i think you are , too . roman : you got that right . kate : so what i wanted to say is , um ... ha ha . you know , you have this fuzz right here on your collar . ha ha . roman : that 's it ? you brought me in here to clean me up ? kate : no , no . not exactly . roman : kate . come on . i , uh ... i really do n't want to be rude , but , i mean , if you could just give me the gist of it , bo and i have got to get the hell out of here . kate : sure , yes . be careful . roman : you reready told me that . kate : yeah , i did . well , i wanted to , uh ... i wanted to give you this . kate : okay . goodbye . roman : bye . [ door closes ] kate : [ sighs ] see you around . hope : everything okay with kate ? roman : ha ha . yeah , uh ... she just told me to be careful ... again . hope : hmm . roman : you ready ? bo : yeah . hope : hmm . i love you , brady . come here . give me a kiss . easy on the doughnuts . bo : yeah , right . see ya . hope : see you later . good luck . bye . hope : kate ? what 's wrong ? kate : oh , nothing . i 'm just , uh ... i 'm just tired . i did n't sleep much last night . i think i 'm going to go home , take a nap . hope : uh , kate ... i know what you 're going through . i do . why do n't you come with me ? kate : thanks . brady : you know what ? i 'm going to need some time to think about this . victor : i have never seen anyone so reluctant to accept a crown , especially when it was offered to him on a velvet pillow . but that 's good . makes me feel i 've chosen well . brady : i want you to know that i am flattered , and i 'm interested . it 's just right now , it 's -- it 's kind of a sticky situation with my dad , and -- victor : i ca n't believe that john would stand in your way . after all , bas b black is just one company . brady : i 've put in a lot of time there . victor : titan is an empire . brady : you do n't have to tell me that . victor : well , you take your time . i want you to be sure of your answer . brady : i 'll get back to you soon , i promise . victor : i know you will . i 'm sure you want to get back to the hospital , so go . thanks for making time for me . brady : no , thank you , really . nicole : victor had no right to do that . brady : excuse me ? nicole : he offered you titan , so do n't play dumb . brady : why are you so angry ? nicole : why are you such a boot - licking apple polisher ? brady : well , i do n't know . what the hell is a boot - licking -- what ? nicole : oh , how about kiss - ass ? is that plain enough for you ? brady : i do n't need you to make things plainer for me . i know how you feel about me and where you stand . nicole : i do n't have feelings for you , brady -- none . brady : then i 'll repeat myself . why are you so angry ? nicole : because you 're the type of person who screws things up for everyone . brady : that 's your considered opinion , is it ? nicole : o , it 's a fact , and do n't talk down to me . brady : i do n't want to talk to you at all . nicole : oh , sure you do . you love to rub it in . > 2brady ; : all right , i do n't mind you yelling at me , but if you 're going to do that , make sense . nicole : i 'm not yelling . brady : then what are you doing ? what is this about ? nicole : it 's about you taking advantage . brady : of what ? nicole : an old man . brady : oh , i did not just hear you call your husband , my grafafather , an old man . nicole : well , he ai n't getting any younger , baby . brady : he 's in the prime of his life , nicole . nicole : ha ha . i 'm the one who shares his bed . brady : unfortunately . nicole : oh . do you disapprove of your granddad 's taste in women ? brady : what is it the french say ? chacun -- nicole : oh , all right , do n't pull any `` i 'm so educated `` crap on me . brady : i do n't have time for this . nicole : oh , no . of course you do n't , no . the only thing that you have time for is worming your way into victor 's good graces so you can slice yourself a piece of the kiriakis pie -- a major piec brady : you know damn well that victor called me over here himself . i had nothing to do with that . nicole : oh , no . you played it perfectly . brady : what did i play ? nicole : pushing yourself on victor , sliding yourself into titan . brady : it 's his company , nicole . he can offer it to whomever he pleases . nicole : no , i built titan into what it itoday . god knows how many accounts i scored for that man . the big merger with atkins enterprises ? that was all me . brady : i thought you wanted to be a lady of leisure . nicole : turn it down . brady : go practice your breaststroke . nicole : you 're not taking over my company . brady : why ? are you jealous ? kate : oh , god . kate : we have a good thingoing . now take this damn handcuff off . roman : we did n't say that second thing -- you know , the thing about , you know , it might just be time to get serious . kate : what are you going to do when the handcuffs do n't work , huh ? you going to bring out the rubber hoses , the stun gun ? you ca n't base a relationship on -- on brute for , , roman . roman : i prefer to call it tough love . kate : love ? ha ha ha . that 's not what this is all about , not as far as i 'm concerned , believe me . roman : is that a fact ? kate : i do care about you , and we do have fun together . roman : we have a whole lot more than fun . kate : i do n't want to go to the heart and flowers place , okay ? roman : why not ? kate : because you 're -- you 're not my type , okay ? to be blunt , you 're not my type . roman : could have fooled me . kate : you 're a cop . you make a cop 's salary . i do n't do blue - collar . i do n't do crass . my ideal man is rich , and he 's sophisticated , and he 's cultured , and he 's someone who 's very ambitious , and he 's just as -- as unpredictable and hungry and i am , and you -- well -- roman : i 'm just fun for a roll in the hay . kate : you 're settled , okay ? you 're just a few years away from being a nice , conventional , middle - class , middle - aged bore . sorry , but you asked for that . ha ha . so , did zack go down for his nap ? hope : like a ton of bricks . he really wore himself out today at the zoo with his grandpa shawn . kate : kids are really something , are n't they ? i mean , they can just fall asleep , just like that . hope : anywhere . kate : ha ha . hope : thank you . kate : for what ? hope : keeping me company . kate : oh . oh - ho . hope : you have to learn to relax . hey , would you like something to eat ? kate : you know , i - i think my throat is so dry that i would n't even be able to swallow . hope : be right back . kate : oh . hope : now , i was a cop once , you know ? a lot of it really is routine stuff . you just have to have faith and relax . kate : relax . hope : mm - hmm . kate : i - i do n't -- i do n't think i 'm going to be able to do that until i hear from roman and i - i know he 's okay . hope : i have an idea . ke : e : what ? hope : why do n't we go on the stakeout with the guys ? i 'll be right back . stay right there . bo : ouou remember that time sister mary margaret almost kicked me out of choir for setting off that firecracker ? roman : yeah . that took some fast talking . bo : yeah . i never did thank you . you saved my neck . so thanks ... times two . roman : all right , once for the sister , and once for ... bo : abe . if it were n't for you , i would n't have the satisfaction of following through on this case . roman : you know , not too long ago , you were complaining about not needing a babysitter . bo : well , i do n't need a babysitter , but i 'm glad you 're here . no one else on the department i 'd rather partner with . roman : whoa . watch out , watch out . roman : check it out , check it out . a car 's pulling up outside the party house . > o ; : o : mm - hmm . roman : driver 's getting out . [ camera shutter clicking ] rom : is that the same guy you saw here last night ? bo : no . roman : well , this guy looks like he 's got some money burning a hole in his pocket . bo : got that right . this could be the break we 're looking for . [ shutter clicks ] brandon : you 're awfully quiet . sami : i do n't know what to say . brandon : not feeling any happier ? sami : this is not going to make me stop worrying about you and lexie . i mean , we can make love until the cows come home . that only means that you like having sex with me , and that 's not enough . brandon : i understand . sami : do you ? do you see what this has done to us here -- your obsession with lexie ? brandon , i want you to -- you say that you love me and that you want to make things work with me , but then you join her stupid lamaze class . what is that about ? you 're holding something back from me , are n't you ? brandon : you 're right . i have n't told you up to now because i was n't ready to talk about it . i mean , it 's difficult for me , to say the least . sami : you 're scaring me . brandon : you deserve to know . i do n't want you to think it 's because i do n't love you enough . sami : brandon , just tell me what it is . brandon : it 's the baby . i 'm connected to that child , samantha , and i 'm going to be connected to that child for the rest of my life . sami : no . sami : this is n't happening . this is n't happening . brandon : samantha , please , just ... listen , okay ? it 's hard enough as it is for me to face up to this . sami : how -- how did you find out that you 're connected ? brandon : i 've known all along , from the moment she told me she was pregnant . sami : you did n't tell me ? brandon : it was n't the right time . like i said , i was n't ready to share this with anybody . sami : does lexie know ? brandon : no . sami : do n't tell her . promise me -- you have to listen , okay ? you ca n't tell her . in fact , you have to forget about this , okay ? no one can ever know , for everyone 's sake . brandon : samantha , i have n't even told you how i 'm connectetoto the baby . sami : you do n't have to . brandon : wait a minute . you still think i 'm the baby 's father ? sami : well ... how do you think you 're connected ? kate : are you sure this is a good idea , to show up at the stakeout ? i mean , i think roman will throw a fit , and it could blow their cover . hope : kate , kate , kate , kate , kate , relax , we are n't literally going to the stakeout , but we 'll sort of be there . kate : oh , you -- you 've completely lost me . hope : i have a police band radio . we can monitor everything that goes down right from here . kate : you are a genius . thank you so much . [ static ] man 's voice : false alarm . some kids playing a prank . head over to jared road . just got a call from a neighbor about a fight at 1211 . man # 2 's voice : i 'm on it . 78 clear . kate : that is better than reality tv . hope : okay , and hopefully , at some point , we 'll hear our guys . kate : uh , how do you use it ? hope : oh , it 's easy . all you have to do is just push this button and talk into that . all the cops have handles . kate : handles ? for what ? hope : well , a name for themselves . you know , like when i was a cop , mine was fancy face . kate : well , if i had one , i wonder what it would be . hope : well , do you and roman have pet names for each other , i mean , somethg that 's personal to the two of you ? kate : he handcuffed me once . hope : okay . kate : no . no , no . really . it was -- it was nothing . he put handcuffs on me , and he took me to tuscany . hope : okay . uh , let 's see . h a about -- well , how about handcuffs ? okay . manacles ? bracelets ? how about bracelets ? kate : bracelets . bracelets -- i kind of like that . hope : it really is nice to see roman enjoying himself again . he was becoming such a lone wolf . kate : well , we 're good for each other , i guess , but , um , i do n't know . it 's hard for me to believe that there 's going to be any long - term potential there . hope : you never know . kate : no . i do know . it 's ... you know , i would n't call myself the silent type , but , um , i do n't know . it 's really hard for me to talk about all this . it really is . hope : you know , i 've always thought of you as ... very capable of expressing yourself , kate . kate : but not when it comes to saying something dangerous like `` i love you . `` then -- then i freeze up . hope : you need to tell roman how you feel . kate : i tried . i tried right before they were leaving for the stakeout , but those words just would not come out . hope : it 's okay . maybe next time . kate : what if something happens ? i mean , what if he 's wounded or , god forbid ... i 'm a grown woman . i should be able to just say it . roman 's voice : all right . car 32 here . we got the premises under surveillance . three men have come and gone in the last 30 minutes . we think we got enough for a warrant , but we 're going to stick around for a while just to make sure . i 'll keep you posted . 32 clear . bo : you know what ? this might not take as long as we thought . i can go home to hope , and you can go find kate , reassure her that all your parts are still in working order . roman : she really was worried about me , was n't she ? bo : yeah . hope 's voice : hey , 32 , what 's going on ? bo : hey , give me that . you 're not supposed to be on this radio . hope : what 's going on ? what 's happening ? bo : if my instincts are right , they 're dealing drugs out of this house . customers are coming and going . roman and i have decided we 're going to bust in and take 'em down . kate : no , do n't do that . roman : kate , is that you ? nicole : oh , please . why would i be jealous of you ? brady : because you just referred to titan as being `` your company . `` nicole : i slipped . i 've worked there for so long . brady : my grandfather acquired that company long before you were born . now , excuse me , i 'm in a hurry . nicole : this conversation is n't over , brady . brady : nicole , please . i am exhausted . i have n't had much sleep . i do not have the energy to argue with you right now . nicole : oh ... poor baby . him 's tired , him 's need a nap . you know , you do n't have the cajones to run titan , much less the expertise . brady : nicole ! any other day , i would stick around here and trade insults with you . really , i would , but today , there is someplace a lot more important that i need to be . nicole : oh , you know , what would you have done if your daddy had n't given you a job at his company , hmm ? yeah . you would n't know the difference between a comic book and a contract if it was n't for kate roberts . brady : what ? nicole : no . i despise the woman , but i have to admit , she does know how to run a business . brady : i do my fair share . nicole : yeah . yeah , you collect a paycheck and you take up space , but kate is the real engine behind basic black . you are just a hood ornament . hey , do n't fool yourself , brady . you know , if you come to titan to try and play with the big boys , you will be laughed right out of the corporate world . roman : kate , what are you doing there with hope ? hope : we wanted to listen in and make sure that everything was a - okay . bo : listening in is one thing , getting on the radio is another . we 'll talk when i get home ? hope : okay . kate : 32 , this is bracelets . bo : bracelets ? kate : your partner will know what that means . rom : : hi , bracelets . all right , make this fast , will you ? we got to keep this channel open . what is it ? @ brandon : why do you keep going there , samantha ? there 's already been a paternity test . sami : well , right , but when you said you were connected to lexie 's baby for life ... well , it sounded so ... what did you mean ? brandon : my connection to the baby is , uh , it 's an emotional one . i 've read all these books on child psychology . it 's what i do , right ? sami : right ... brandon : rit . t. now ... sit down . let me explain it to you . the first year of a child 's life is so important , and abe is such a workaholic -- well , i 'm just afraid that he 's not going to able to give lexie and the baby the kind of support that they need . sami : abe will dote on this child . brandon : yeah , well , i hope you 're right . look , i am -- i 'm sorry i upset you . it was stupid . i should 've never gotten involved in all this . sami : i 'm sorry i freaked out . brandon : probably best we never talk about this again . sami : brandon , it 's just i love you so much , and ... i overreact at the thought of something keeping us apart . brandon : that 's not going to happen . sami : promise ? brandon : it 's you and me ... forever . brady : okay . yes , my father opened the door for me at basic black . however , he made it very clear to me that if i could not cut it , if i slacked off or messed up in any way , i 'd be out of there in a flash . nicole : it 's a good thing you have kate covering your ass . brady : uh ... wrong ! nicole : get real , brady . brady : kate 's every bit as tough as you say , and i respect her for it . she treats me no different from the rest of the staff . nicole : except for the private office and the expense account . brady : if anything , she works me harder . nicole : oh . like i said , she 's the boss , and you 're not . big difference . brady : i never claimed that i kept basic black afloat by myself . nicole : as if . brady : kate has been very good for me , okay ? she 's been a great mentor , and i feel pretty damn good about my business skills right now . nicole : well , i 'm sure you 'll make someone a very nice gofer . brady : nicole , i am sorry that you 're climbing these walls as a hausfrau . nicole : what ? brady : but that does not give you the right to badmouth me . nicole : well , i do n't need to . if you take victor up on his offer , you 'll embarrass yourself in a very public way . brady : you wish . nicole : i give you three months -- tops . brady : you 're really unhay , y , are n't you ? nicole : no , i 'm fine . i just do n't happen to like the old boys ' club , huh , the little preppy with the silver spoon in his mouth . brady : well , at least i wo n't have to sleep my way to the top like you did . hope : are you going to tell him now ? roman : bracelets , are you there ? what is it ? kate : i just wanted to , um , tell you again to be careful . all : aww ... roman : okay . time to sign off . okay ... i 'll see you later . kate : i love you . woman : aw , love you , too , bracelets . brandon : i 'm starved . sami : me too . brandon : you want to go out ? sami : i would love to . brandon : well , i 'm going to take shshower first . want to join me ? sami : you go on . i 'll be there in a minute . brandon : all right . sami : hi , eugenia , it 's me -- sami . you did n't accidentally on purpose say anything to brandon about those paternity tests , did you ? because brandon is going on and on about how he feels so connected to lexie 's baby , and you know that if he finds out the truth , then he is going to go charging over to the carvers ' house and wreck their marriage , and we do n't want that to happen , now , do we ? duh . of course he would dump me if he found out that i 'd switched the test results . so you have to keep your mouth shut , and you have to make sure that brandon never finds out that he 's the father of that kid -- never . brady : my grandfather should consider having you declawed . nicole : someone should have you neutered ! brady : that 's a bit hostile . nicole : do n't ever treat me that way again . brady : why ? what 's the matter , ca n't handle the truth ? nicole : this is my house now ! i demand you treat me with respect . brady : sure thing , grandma . nicole : get out ! brady : that is exactl what i have been trying to do . yet you persist on keeping me here . you ca n't have it both ways . nicole : go to hell ! brady : thank you , but actually , i 'm on my way to the hospital . got to see a real lady with real problems . nicole : brady ! hey ! who are you talking about ? bdydy : i 'm talking about chloe . nicole : oh . i forgot . brady : that does n't surprise me . nicole : how is she ? brady : nicole , what do you care ? you 're just a gold - digging shrew who , having gotten everything she has ever wanted , has nothing better to do thanakake herself miserable . nicole : good riddance ! roman : this is an open channel , right ? bo : oh , yeah . kate : roman , are you there ? roman : sign off , damn it ! aw , that was n't right . i should n't have treated her that way . i 'll call her back . bo : oh , oh . it 's ramsell -- the guy who owns the place . looks like he 's leaving . [ camera shutter clicks ] kate : well , i blew that . he was n't ready . i do n't think he 's ever going to be ready . hope : kate , honestly , i think you 're jumping to conclusions . kate : no , no , i think i really need to face this . it 's over . bo : he 's gone . place is empty . i 'm going in . roman : wait a minute . we 're not sure it 's empty , and we do n't have a search warrant . bo : we got to take advantage of this opportunity . roman : we gave abe our word we 'd do this right . bo : i 'm outta here ! roman : bo , damn it ! damn it ! you 're going to need backup . jack : i feel like something 's happened to jennifer . bo : jackpot . penny : big - time tv producer is here on campus casting for a new reality dating show . mimi : i 'm in . cassie : me too . belle : let 's do it . | victor offers brady a job at titan , and he tells him that he 'll think about it . nicole starts a big argument with brady and they trade insults . sami and brandon get back together , and we find out that brandon has some kind of connection to lexie 's baby . after hearing that , sami is more determined to make sure that brandon never finds out that he is the baby 's father . kate worries about roman as he goes to get some proof of a drug dealer 's ( vin ) dealings . kate and hope go to her house and speak to them on the police band radio , and kate tells roman that she loves him . he finds out people are listening and yells at her , then he and bo have to run to get vin before roman could call to apologize . kate runs away , thinking that roman does n't return her feelings at all ... |

[ scene_break ] fay : [ gasping ] ej : fay , fay , it 's ej ! fay , do n't you recognize me ? fay , it 's ej . fay , listen to me . fay , relax . [ flatline ] ej : fay ! [ scene_break ] philip : as i said , i 'd appreciate it if you put this at the top of your list . mrs. hogan : absolutely . philip : thank you . thank you for coming by . mrs. hogan : my pleasure . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] philip : whoa . what are you doing here ? i thought you were teaching a voice lesson . chloe : it was canceled . philip : oh . okay . would you like a coffee or something ? chloe : oh , is this the part where you pretend like you 're glad to see me ? philip : what ? chloe : that woman was from social services . they took my baby away from me . you think i do n't remember that ? philip : no , of course -- chloe : you have been playing me this whole time , have n't you ? being all nice and saying that everything 's gon na be okay , but that was all just an act , right ? you want to take parker away from me , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] rafe 2 : what kind of question is that ? fay 's a good person . she 's a human being . why should n't i care ? sami : i 'm not asking why you care in some sort of objective , compassionate , `` caring about your fellow man `` kind of way . i 'm asking why you 're interrogating me about her , like you 're obsessed , like you 're hoping she does n't make it . rafe 2 : wow . you just wo n't cut me a break . sami : rafe , you sounded so callous . rafe 2 : cal -- what are you talking about , callous ? sami : it 's your tone -- the way you said , `` gee , i think she 's dying . `` rafe 2 : well , it does sound that way , does n't it ? sami : even if she does die , what happened to you and your optimism and your thinking positively ? rafe 2 : well , i 'm just being realistic . the woman 's got a bad heart . she fell down a flight of stairs . sami : well , they 're treating her heart . rafe 2 : yeah , but still , you know , a fall like that -- it 's gon na take its toll , you know ? sami : well , i mean , it 's not good for her , but , god ... i do n't even get why we 're still talking about her . she 's not your mother . she 's not my mother . we hardly know her . why is she this huge topic ? rafe 2 : okay , well , i 'm sorry that i 'm feeling compassionate for some poor woman who went ass over teakettle down a flight of stairs . sami : can we not be crass about her ? rafe 2 : i also feel sorry for her because of you . sami : i do feel sorry for her . i feel sorry that she is nicole 's mother , and she has to deal with that all the time . and when taylor told me about the accident , it certainly reminded me of what i went through with your accident . rafe 2 : that really sucked , did n't it ? sami : [ scoffs ] yeah . it more than sucked . it was a tragedy . rafe 2 : yep ... 'cause you almost lost me , right , babe ? how come you 're not saying anything ? sami : because there is no `` almost . `` you have been slipping away from me every single day since that accident . and i do n't know what i 'm gon na do about it . [ scene_break ] daniel : you know , i think your , uh , mother is the only one who can tell us why she fell . carly : but dizziness is n't unusual in a heart patient . [ scene_break ] nicole : this is all my fault . taylor : hey , nikki , why would you say that ? nicole : because mom was upset when she called me . she wanted to tell me something . i - i should have gone back to the house the second i could n't get her back on the phone . taylor : but we did that , remember ? nicole : and i should n't have moved her back into the mansion . the guesthouse is all one level . taylor : but you wanted to be closer to her . [ scene_break ] woman over pa : code blue , room 316 . daniel : go , go , go , go . nicole : oh , my god , that 's mom 's room . ej : fay , fay , come on . do n't do this , fay . somebody get in here ! fay , please think of your daughters . fay , fay ! daniel : okay , ej , step out ! step out ! step out ! nicole : mom . ej : no , no , no , no . out ! let them do their jobs . taylor : oh , my god . nicole : ej ? taylor : she was doing fine . nicole : what -- what happened ? ej : i do n't know , sweetheart . [ scene_break ] chloe : how many times have you met with that woman from social services ? philip : chloe . chloe : i want to know , philip ! how long have you been going behind my back ? philip : hey , let 's take a breath here , okay ? i 'm not involved in any kind of conspiracy . chloe : do n't you lie to me ! oh , my god . i ca n't stay in this house . but i ca n't take parker with me . you said you wanted to help me . how could you betray me like this ? philip : stop it . stop it . trust me . chloe : i love my son . philip : everything 's gon na be fine . i know you do . i know you do , and nobody 's gon na take parker . i do n't know why you 'd even think that . i met with mrs. hogan to let her know that you were doing much better ... that you deserved a chance to get parker back . chloe : really ? philip : yeah . i think i made a pretty good case ... that it would be healthier for parker if he had his mom around ... that we should have joint custody . but maybe that 's not such a good idea . [ scene_break ] dario : i think you got a bad memory . i got a job , remember ? at the pier . melanie : yeah . no , i know . i just , um ... [ clears throat ] they pay you every day with a bunch of 50s ? dario : well , no . actually , brady gave me that . d - did n't he tell you ? melanie : no . dario : yeah , he must have been called in for that meeting , huh ? actually , he gave me a little bundle of cash and told me to get out of town . melanie : yet , you 're still here . dario : i know , right ? i 'm a real disappointment -- story of my life . [ scene_break ] amy : dario ? dario : yeah ? amy : nice to meet you . amy . dario : nice to meet you too . yeah . real pleasure . [ chuckles ] melanie : okay . um , i 'll let you guys do your thing here . [ scene_break ] dario : thanks for getting back to me so soon . amy : no problem . dario : the way you sounded on the phone i did n't think i 'd be seeing you at all . amy : well ... in my profession , the rule is very simple . anything a client wants a client gets ... as long as he pays . so ... what have you got for me , dario ? dario : what can this get me ? [ scene_break ] taylor : mom . nicole : oh , my god . taylor : she 's dying , nikki . they ca n't save her . nicole : do n't say that . [ scene_break ] rafe 2 : i do n't know . i really do n't want to have another argument about this anymore -- another damn fight . obviously , i ca n't do a damn thing right . sami : would you not play the victim , please ? rafe 2 : [ chuckles ] the victim ? really ? i do n't even drink coffee right anymore . i do n't make love to you right anymore . sami : i did n't say that . rafe 2 : mm . then what the hell did you say ? [ scene_break ] [ baby crying ] rafe 2 : oh , how am i gon na get out of this ? oh , i got to keep fay walker from blabbing her mouth ... 'cause if ej and stefano find out about this , they 're gon na kill me ... or i may go to prison ... which would be worse with a face like this . i got to figure a way out of here . [ scene_break ] daniel : well , your mother , uh , has been stabilized . we 're not sure what happened , but whatever it was , she 's , uh -- she 's come back to us . carly : she 's still not breathing on her own , so she has to stay on the ventilator . daniel : and we 're gon na try and get her off that as soon as possible . carly : now , i 'm sure you understand that whatever we do to help has to be weighed against how it might affect her underlying heart condition . ej : oh , no , no . of course , of course . nicole : can we see her ? carly : yes . daniel : please . carly : come on . [ monitor beeping ] taylor : if we 'd only been there ... nicole : she sounded desperate when she called , taylor . she wanted to tell me something , and then we got cut off . carly : well , hopefully , when she improves , she 'll be able to tell us what was going on when she fell . [ scene_break ] chloe : why would n't it be a good idea ? philip : chloe ... if you do n't trust me , we 're gon na have some real issues trying to raise parker together . chloe : i do trust you . i just do n't understand why you went behind my back . philip : hey , come on . let 's not argue out here . come on . chloe : just tell me . philip : fine . you 're right . i did keep it from you . maybe i should n't have . but i just -- i did n't ... i did n't know if they were gon na go along with what i had to say . and i did n't want you to get your hopes up . sometimes , uh , bureaucracy can turn into your worst enemy . chloe : i know . thank you . i - i appreciate what you were trying to do , but ... philip : but what ? chloe : did you ever think that maybe i do n't want joint custody ? [ scene_break ] amy : i 'll be in touch . dario : soon ? amy : absolutely . let 's just hope that i can get you what you want . [ scene_break ] dario : yeah . you can look up now . melanie : god . you should n't sneak up on people , dario . that 's not very nice . dario : i know . i know . it 's rude , but fun sometimes . i noticed you did n't leave after you got your takeout . why -- too curious ? melanie : mm , dario . [ chuckles ] as long as you do n't steal from me or anybody i care about , you can pass money along to beautiful women all day long . dario : wait . why did you -- why did you think i gave it to her ? melanie : pretty sure i do n't care . dario : uh , yeah , you do . i 'm using the money that brady gave me to find out who killed my sister . justin kiriakis says that she 's the best private investigator in town . what ? you look surprised . you thought i hired a hooker , did n't you ? melanie : no . dario : look , melanie , maybe i did n't make myself clear . i came to salem for one reason -- to find out who did that hit - and - run on my sister . and -- and once i find that son of a bitch , he 's going down . and then i 'm out of here . got it ? melanie : oh , my god . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] nicole : i called sami to make sure she would have the kids tonight . taylor : yeah , i talked to her too . nicole : i guess caroline 's gon na take them , because sami seemed really concerned . taylor : you know , nikki , she may not be the enemy you always think she is . nicole : do n't get me started , okay ? let 's just concentrate on mom . [ scene_break ] lexie : how 's she doing ? nicole : she 's better . we had a scare . lexie : yeah , i heard . listen , i 'm here if you need me -- um , anything , anytime . taylor : thank you . nicole : thanks . that 's -- that 's good to know . [ scene_break ] ej : lexie . lexie : hmm ? ej : sorry . um , could i have a word for a second ? lexie : yeah , yeah , sure . [ scene_break ] taylor : lexie 's the best , huh ? nicole : yeah . she always shoots straight with people . hey , uh , before mom called ... you were gon na tell me something ... about ej living in the house . what was it ? [ scene_break ] ej : look , uh , lexie , i - i think that i know why fay had that cardiac arrest earlier . lexie : why ? ej : because of me . i 'm in there . she opens up her eyes . i go over to her to see how she 's doing . she looks at me . her machines start going crazy , like she 's terrified . lexie : but she has no reason to be terrified of you ... does she , ej ? ej : no , not that i know of . that 's why the whole thing is just so baffling . [ scene_break ] sami : rafe , where you going ? [ scene_break ] carly : it 's strange melanie has n't shown up yet . her phone 's turned off too . i mean , we said -- we said lunch at the pub , right ? daniel : yeah , we did ... carly : right . daniel : right here . carly : you know what 's weird ? when she 's late like this , i have the most god- awful thoughts that go through my head , like something terrible has happened to her . i know it 's crazy . it 's just -- it 's -- it 's me . obviously you 're not worried . daniel : actually , i am . carly : you 're worried about melanie ? daniel : no . about you . [ scene_break ] chloe : i 've just been on this total roller coaster lately , and now all i can think of when i wake up in the morning is , `` thank god i 'm alive . thank god i still have my son with me . `` philip : everybody 's pulling for you , chloe . chloe : i know , and i 'm grateful . but victor is not one of those people , okay ? i ca n't live here in his house . philip : hey , look , trust me . i do n't plan on living out my life here either . but if what you 're telling me is that you want me to call social services and tell them to forget about the joint custody , then -- chloe : no . no , no , no . that 's the last thing i want . [ scene_break ] daniel : there you go , just dodging the issue . carly : i 'm not dodging anything . daniel : yeah , you are . i tell you that jennifer and i both sense that you 're avoiding us , and you just go on and start talking about how nice the weather is today . carly : i 'm not avoiding -- i 'm here having lunch with you , are n't i ? that 's not avoidance . daniel : okay , let 's talk about how many hours you 've been putting in . carly : oh , you know as well as i do that sometimes your caseload gets extra heavy . that 's all . daniel : yeah , for a day or two , not weeks . no , carly . i 'm -- [ scene_break ] melanie : hi . i 'm sorry . carly : hi . melanie : i had a giant cookie , you guys . i did n't even realize it was lunchtime . daniel : hi , hi . sit down . sit down . carly : your phone is off . melanie : i -- uh , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , but it 's a good thing you guys ordered already , because i 'm not even hungry . uh ... what 's wrong ? carly : nothing . everything 's fine . [ scene_break ] rafe 2 : uh , right . i 'm sorry . i forgot . we got a stakeout to go on , and so i figured if things run long , at least i 'd have some clothes -- you know , extra . sami : well , you 'll let me know , right ? rafe 2 : of course . who was that on the phone i heard earlier ? sami : that was just nicole , making sure i knew that the kids were gon na be staying with my grandmother tonight . rafe 2 : oh , god . i guess , uh , things went south for fay after all , huh ? sami : no . no , she did scare them for a bit , but she pulled through . looks like she 's gon na make it . rafe 2 : oh . that 's good . good . um , glad to hear that . sami : yeah , i mean , she still has her heart , which is weak . so that might slow down recovery . rafe 2 : that heart 's ready to give out at any minute , huh ? sami : i 'll say a prayer for you for fay , if you want . in fact , maybe you are so concerned about it , maybe you and i should go to the church together . we could pray . rafe 2 : [ chuckling ] yeah , sorry . i got a job to go to , you know ? remember what that is ? sami : there is absolutely no reason to be nasty or disrespectful . i did n't say anything about your job . i offered to pray for fay for you or to ask if you wanted to come with me to do that . you know , i do n't just hang around here and try to annoy you all the time . what is it with you ? why do you act like ... ? you do n't love me at all , do you ? [ scene_break ] ej : i mean , is it -- is it possible that she did n't know it was me approaching the bed ? yes . okay , i suppose it 's possible . i mean , she 's -- she 's very sick . she 's in a lot of pain . i 'm assuming she 's medicated . maybe she thought it was somebody else -- i do n't know . lexie : yeah , maybe . ej : well , you do n't look very sure , lexie . lexie : okay , you know how sometimes ... a mother can read her child with just one look . you know , fay is very close with her daughters . i mean , i 'm not saying this is the case , but is it possible that fay knows something is going on between you and taylor ? ej : lexie , nothing is going on between me and taylor . lexie : oh . ej : nothing , all right ? nothing . lexie : okay , okay , fine . ej : nothing . lexie : fine , fine . `` the attraction . `` all right ? could fay have sensed that there 's an attraction ? ej : [ sighs ] i ... i do n't know . maybe . maybe . but if that was the case , then why did n't she have a heart attack when i saw her earlier , hmm ? lexie : hmm . [ scene_break ] taylor : i , um ... what i was gon na say ... is not important , nicole . i 'm too worried about mom to think about anything else right now -- i 'm sorry . nicole : i know . she 's got to get better , taylor . if she does n't ... [ crying ] [ scene_break ] fay : [ screaming ] no , no ! rafe 2 : tell me what you heard ! fay : nothing ! nothing , i swear ! rafe 2 : do n't lie to me ! fay : let go of me ! rafe 2 : do n't lie to me , lady ! fay : [ screaming ] [ monitor beeping ] [ scene_break ] taylor : hey , lexie . lexie : hi . um , listen ... why do n't the two of you take a break ? i know you feel it 's important to be here . but fay needs total quiet so she can rest . taylor : no , you 're right . uh , nikki , we should step out . nicole : okay . you know what ? i 'm gon na go back to the house and grill that nurse . no way she should have left mom alone . taylor : well , you might want to talk to the staff too . you know , they might know something . nicole : yeah , one way or another , i 'm gon na find out why she fell down those stairs . [ scene_break ] rafe 2 : all right , look , i 'm sorry if i snapped on you , okay ? i 'm sorry . just -- i do need to get to work , though , okay ? take care . sami : `` no , sami , you 're wrong . of course i love you . how could you even think that ? `` that 's what my rafe would have said . [ scene_break ] melanie : so i get this letter in the mail . it 's from the bank , so i open it , obviously . and it 's a huge deposit that 's been put into my account from philip . daniel : your divorce settlement . melanie : no , that 's been taken care of . philip was actually very generous . this is something else , like a ... a gift ? carly : a - are you sure you want to accept it ? i mean , even though people say there are no strings attached -- melanie : i know . at first , i thought i should just write a check and give it back . daniel : but you did n't , right ? melanie : no , but , uh , look , i 'm not rethinking the divorce . and philip 's not trying to buy me . carly : then what 's with the money ? melanie : justin said philip just feels really bad about everything that happened . so he wanted to make sure i 'm set for life , you know , that i 'd never want for anything . daniel : yeah , but he just gave you a nice divorce settlement . melanie : i know . so why not give it back , right ? but then i started thinking ... this money could do a lot of good . [ scene_break ] dario : amy ... my favorite p.i . got something for me already ? well , now ... that is interesting . [ scene_break ] melanie : so i put up a $ 50,000 reward to anybody with information on the hit- and - run driver that killed arianna . carly : that 's a big reward . melanie : she was my best friend . daniel : okay , melanie ... there 's no evidence . i mean , i - i - it was a dark car , probably a sedan . and so much time has gone by -- melanie : it 's okay . they could still find 'em . carly : look , i think what your dad 's trying to say is that maybe you should n't get your hopes up . daniel : yeah , and it 's not that i do n't think what you 're doing is very noble . i mean , it 's very selfless ... loyal to ari 's memory . carly : why -- uh , why did you decide to do it ? melanie : uh ... it -- it was something dario said . daniel : i 'm sorry , who ? dario -- the man who attacked you ? why are you even talking to him ? melanie : okay , relax . he 's harmless . he 's actually quite annoying . i wish he would move to moscow , but i ca n't disagree with what he said . carly : and what did he say ? melanie : he just said ... the hit - and - run driver should be caught and punished . anybody that does n't help is n't really ari 's friend . carly : that sounds reasonable . melanie : what , you disagree ? daniel : no , no , no . no , it 's , uh -- it 's fine . it 's fine . i was just remembering you from -- from way back , when the only thing important to you was , uh -- was money . melanie : oh , yeah . well , then i married a millionaire . some good came from that . i realized money does n't buy happiness ... you know ? it comes from in here . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] caroline : so ... what 's the matter ? sami : nothing . i 'm fine . caroline : sami ... when we talk about your kids , you 're all smiles . and i 've done nothing but talk about them since i came here ... and not one smile . so what is it ? come on , let 's hear it . i 'm -- i 'm right here . sami : i do n't know what i 'm gon na do , grandma . everything 's wrong .

[ sighs ] but still ... lexie : what ? taylor : well , with my mom this way , i - i ca n't tell nicole i 'm -- i 'm in love with her husband , now , can i ? lexie : so you did n't have a chance to speak to nicole ? taylor : well , i was about to let it all come out , and then we got the call from mom , and we took off for the mansion , and ... [ sighs ] lexie : does ej know what you were going to do ? taylor : no . and i know he 's your brother , okay ? but you ca n't tell him ... lexie , please . [ scene_break ] philip : chloe ... are you saying that you want sole custody ? chloe : no , of course not . and i know that having joint custody does n't mean that we have to live here forever . we just have to do whatever 's best for parker . we have to work together . philip : and trust each other . chloe : i know . and that 's what i 'm gon na do from now on -- trust . i 'm really sorry , what i said before . what you did for me today with social services was really kind . philip : i did it for you and for parker . chloe : i know that . and i know that you 've been here for me and parker ever since i ... look , i owe you my life . you 've been my rock . and i want you to know that i do trust you . i really do ... with my whole life ... and parker 's . i just hope that someday you 'll feel the same way about me . philip : i already do .

[ scene_break ] sami : mm . and he calls me `` babe . `` caroline : what ? sami : i 'm serious . he never used to use a term like that . but now , yeah . i 'm not sami . i 'm `` babe . `` caroline : strange . sami : grandma , he 's just not rafe anymore . i mean , the anger ... he never used to blow his top like that , especially with the kids . caroline : and now he does ? sami : more times than i care to admit . i mean , anything will set him off . and he makes nasty comments . i 'm looking at him , and ... and i just know i am not looking at the man that i married . and i know he had a terrible accident , and i know it 's my fault . but the way that he 's changed is so ... caroline : permanent ? sami : i ca n't think like that . i just ca n't . i ca n't accept that . i have to -- i just have to give him more time or ... caroline : or move on . sami : what ? caroline : i do n't know why i 'm always the one who has to lay it on the line . but , i mean , you 've got to think about that . you just said ... he 's not the man that you married . i mean , if that 's true ... sami : but , grandma , i do n't know if i 'm ready to live the rest of my life without rafe . caroline : well , is n't that what you 're doing now ? sami : yeah . yeah , but i 'm not -- i 'm not gon na give up . i mean , maybe there is a way to get him back . and i have to -- i have to get out of here and clear my head . thank you for watching the kids . call me if you need anything . caroline : oh , we 'll be fine . we 'll be fine . sami : i think i 'm gon na go check on fay . thanks for everything .

[ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] rafe 2 : what do you say , fay ? well , i got to tell you -- you 're one tough bird . but i was kind of hoping you 'd be gone by now . in fact , you gave me quite a startle . i thought you might perk up , start talking . do n't worry ... 'cause , uh , we 're gon na take care of that right now . so what do you say ? oh , that 's right . you ca n't talk . that 's too bad . [ scene_break ] nicole : so the guy who pays you says you do n't have to stay . and you know what ? you do n't . is that it ? you know , never mind , never mind , i do n't want to hear your excuse that you have some other patient . so let me tell you something . you have one patient , assuming you still have a job when she comes home from the hospital . but you will never leave my mother 's side again . i mean , my god . she got out of bed , and then she wandered to the landing , and she fell down the stairs , and ... oh ... oh , my god . are these the pills you gave her ? delia : yes . i saw her put them in her mouth . nicole : well , she obviously spit them out and hid them . the question is , why ? [ scene_break ] taylor : why did you want to see me privately ? ej : look , this is a little difficult to say . taylor : well , then make it fast . i do n't like being alone with you like this . ej : i 'm afraid your mother may have seen or heard something she should n't have . taylor : like what ? ej : like us . [ scene_break ] rafe 2 : here 's the way i see it , fay .

ben : say no more . i 'm on it , okay ? okay , right away . [ phone beeps ] ciara : what was that about ? ben : [ sighs ] according to stefan , el fideo 's killers are on the move , and i 'm going after them . ciara : what ? no , ben . the police can take care of that by themselves . ben : no , they ca n't , because these bastards left a jurisdiction . the police ca n't pursue it . but i can . ciara : no , you can't . ben : yes , i can . ciara : no , you can't . ben , you 're not -- you 're not some x - men .

[ knocking ] [ soft dramatic music ] ciara : mom ? um , what are you doing here ? hope : i need to talk to ben about some information we received from jordan . ciara : wow . i already told you this , like , a million times . ben had nothing to do with setting the fire . hope : ciara , relax . this is n't about the fire . your sister told rafe that she has a baby . [ indistinct chatter ] ted : i 'm glad i found you . abe : what can i do for you ? [ tense music ] abe : what 's this ? ted : my resignation . it 's effective immediately . haley : so , tripp invited me to dinner to thank me for treating his arm and we had such a good time , and when we kissed , i was like ... wow ... [ laughs ] tripp : now , listen to you . i 'm a believer . haley : yeah , i mean , here in the loft , it 's not so hard , but with some ice agents staring me down ... [ sighs ] what if i screw up ? tripp : you won't . haley : but you do n't know that . tripp : i know you , all right ? you 're smart . you know what you want and what you need to do to get it -- what we need to do . haley : you are just -- you are so good at making me think that this is possible . tripp : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] [ knocking ] haley : what if that 's ice ? i 'm not even ready . tripp : it 's okay . it 's okay , all right ? the ice interview is set at the police department , so we 're okay . [ clears throat ] hey . haley : jj , if this is about changing my mind -- jj : no , no , you wo n't -- i get it . i 'm all in on being best man . look , i came to see claire . claire : wow , i really ca n't believe that i actually have to spend the night alone because tripp wanted to run off and hold haley 's hand . wow ... [ laughs ] seriously . what a waste . eve : look , i know that this was a tough night for you . and i know that you 're disappointed , but you know what ? claire , you got through it . jack : mm - hmm . eve : and this 'll all be over with very soon . claire : oh , well , not soon enough . jack : we 're so close , claire . once haley and tripp lie to ice , on the record , we 'll be releasing our recording . claire : yeah , and you 're sure that this is gon na work ? eve : it 's gon na work like a charm . the lie will be exposed . the engagement will be revealed as a fraud . you will be with tripp again , and -- claire : and haley chen will be on a slow boat back to china . [ dramatic music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] ben : did you just say jordan has a baby ? hope : yeah , she told rafe that she left her baby in california with a friend . ben : a baby ? no , i do n't believe that . i mean ... [ laughs ] i have n't talked to jordan in a while , but the last time she came back to salem , she never mentioned anything about having a kid . ciara : yeah . no , she never mentioned anything about having a baby to me either , and we were locked in a cabin together for days . ben : do you think she 's just making this up ? is the baby even real ? ted : i know detective hernandez told you about my past . abe : blackmail -- not something most das put on their resume . ted : i regret it . abe : i 'm sure you do , but it 's worked out well for you , has n't it ? i should 've vetted you myself , but i trusted the commissioner . ted : no . do n't blame it on hope . i 'm the one who asked her to vouch for me . abe : she should 've laughed in your face , but instead , she lied by omission , took advantage of me . ted : but that was not the intention , sir . abe : hope and i are more than employer and employee . we 've known each other for many years . our families are close , and ... she 's one of my most trusted friends . so , for her to withhold this kind of information from me , especially at a critical time like this -- it puts me in a terrible position . ted : no , i realize that , and i 'm very sorry , but please , do n't take it out on hope . take it out on me . accept my resignation . eve : oh , excuse me . did i just hear the word , `` resignation `` ? jack : do n't tell me there 's trouble in the ranks . so there you are with your depression abe : i 'm having a private conversation with my district attorney . jack : who just offered to resign . i think we , as the taxpayers , have a right to know why . eve : this is the second da to resign in a matter of weeks . it 's not exactly a testament to the stability of your administration , now , is it ? so , what happened ? abe : i 'm not gon na answer these ridiculous questions . eve : melinda trask tendered her resignation and then we found out she was hiding the fact that her little sister was in this country illegally , so i am actually all ears . abe : would you leave him alone please ? eve : well , i 'm just saying that he has the reputation as a very accomplished attorney . why would he give up such a powerful position , and so soon , unless something was wrong ? hm ? so , what are you hiding , mr . laurent ? [ tense music ] ben : do you believe jordan 's story is true ? ciara : is there a way you can track down the baby ? hope : rafe dropped everything and flew to california at jordan 's request to look . ciara : so , it 's a good thing that rafe is checking it out , right ? hope : unless she 's manipulating him . ben : [ scoffs ] look , i wish i could tell you something that could help , but i really do n't know anything . i mean , if this baby is real , i guess it makes sense why jordan did n't tell me about it -- if she still believes i was this threat to chad and abigail 's baby . hope : yeah . you 're probably right . thank you for your time . bye , sweetheart . ciara : bye , mom . hope : i 'll let you get back to -- ciara : actually , wait . i was just thinking that if jordan is lying about having this baby , then she could also be lying about setting the first fire that nearly killed me . maybe she did do it after all . [ soft dramatic music ] hope : bye . ciara : bye , mom . [ door slams ] ciara : [ sighs ] tripp : why do you wan na see claire ? jj : i still do n't get it . what is this doing in a jewelry box ? is she here ? tripp : no , no , she 's ... claire : [ sighs ] oh ... [ laughs ] hello -- practically a welcoming committee . tripp : hey , i 'm sorry -- i 'm sorry for bailing on you last night . claire : no , no , no , no . you 're fine . you 're fine . it was no biggie . i had a big room all to myself , big bed , ordered some room service for breakfast . and i get it . i do . you need to be there for haley . haley : i was just -- i was so afraid that jack was onto us , so i freaked out , but tripp talked me down . claire : yeah , he 's really good at that . tripp : yeah , we actually crammed all last night , you know , just to get ready for the ice interview . haley : yeah , i mean , i 'm practically an expert on all things tripp , like , how much you love to camp and , uh -- oh yeah , and that first time that you went camping in the arizona desert . claire : you like to camp ? tripp : yeah , but you knew that . oh , but i bet you did n't know that haley here was obsessed with nick jonas . [ laughter ] claire : wow ! no , i did n't know that . um , but , you know , i do remember what you like more than anything in the world , and i was gon na give that to you last night , but , um , you had to leave , so ... haley : i am so sorry again , claire . claire : no , it 's all good . tripp : um ... ooh , yeah , we need to go . claire : oh , i mean , your guys ' interview is n't for a while . haley : yeah . we wan na be early . claire : that 's right . of course you do , yes . tripp : wish us luck . claire : lots and lots . yeah , all right . jj : i 'm pulling for you . haley : just , uh , one little thing . all right , there . now you 're perfect . tripp : thank you . haley : thank you . tripp : mm - hmm . all right , bye . claire : bye . [ door slams ] [ screams ] [ glass shatters ] [ laughs ] do you hate this as much as i do ? jj : i ... [ laughs ] you know , i did n't really come by to see the happy couple . i just came to see you . claire : me ? why ? jj : need to ask you about your letter . once - daily toujeo ® helps you control your blood sugar eve : transparency is so critical . do n't you think , jack ? jack : it 's essential . of course , if you feel the need to hide behind your title or the privilege that you think ... abe : fine , fine , fine . mr. laurent did offer to resign . eve : now , abe , was that so difficult ? jack : would you care to tell us why ? abe : he wants to do what he thinks is best for my campaign . eve : hm , a true patriot . who knew ? but what i do n't understand is why is his resignation good for you ? abe : ted is an american citizen , but he was born in france , and given jack 's virulent anti - immigration stance , ted feels he would be a liability to my campaign . and knowing the two of you , you would even go after his accent . jack : what accent ? [ forced chuckle ] very funny , mr . mayor . abe : well , actually , i do n't think it is , which is why i 'm not about to accept ted 's resignation . this country 's always welcomed immigrants , and will continue to do so . jack : i have no issue with immigrants , mr . mayor , as long as they 're here legally . abe : well , if there is nothing else ... jack : hm , no . have a nice day . ted : mr. mayor , why did you do that ? abe : they just tick me off . they 're relentless . they 're vultures . but if they find out i hired a da without vetting even a crooked , blackmailing son of a bitch , they 'll vaporize us . ted : so , i stay . abe : yeah . you stay for now . ted : thank you . abe : do me a favor , ted . ted : sure . abe : just do your job . and keep your mouth shut . ted : [ exhales ] claire : wait a minute . you went through my jewelry box without my permission and without me there ? jj : no , haley wanted to put your ring back in your jewelry box to keep it safe . i was with her . claire : still , jj . i think that 's really weird that you did that without my consent . and if you do n't mind telling me what 's the big deal about a lighter , 'cause a lot of people have those . jj : oh , it 's just that that this one reminded me of the one that ben used back when he held chad and abigail hostage at that cabin . claire : [ scoffs ] what do you know about ben 's lighter ? jj : lani and i were the investigating officers . claire : okay ... [ stammers ] i 'm sorry . i still do n't really understand . so -- so you think that it 's the same lighter ? jj : well , look , i know that it 's farfetched , maybe nothing more than a coincidence , but i just heard that jordan is swearing that she did n't set the fire that almost killed ciara last year . claire : okay , and what ? what , do you think it was me ? [ scoffs ] haley : [ sighs ] this is part of it , is n't it , that they make us wait , and we freak out . i mean , it makes sense . it 's easier to trip us up that way . tripp : look , we got here early , right ? and they have a lot of pending cases on their plate , and they 're just running a little behind , okay ? haley : yeah , unless they 're messing with us . tripp : and we are prepared . haley : your favorite color is green , right ? tripp : i was thinking about changing it to orange . haley : tripp . do n't do that . do n't mess with me , not right now . tripp : we 're going to kill it , okay ? after all , it is totally obvious that we are two crazy fools in love with each other , all right ? haley : totally ... [ laughs softly ] [ door clicks ] laverne : i 'm agent laverne smith . just so you know , i 'm not a fan of fairy tales . [ tense music ] i have read your application , and i do n't buy one bit of this case . haley : and when he told me that he was afraid of rabbits -- tripp : not afraid . haley : that was it . that was it . i mean , how could i not fall head over heels ? look at this face . both : [ chuckle ] tripp : all i know is , if i had n't gotten a first - degree grease burn on my arm , i would 've never met the love of my life . and now i ca n't imagine a single day without her . laverne : you 've known each other a few weeks . this is one of the fastest courtships i 've ever heard of . tripp : it was love at first sight . i was completely knocked out the moment i laid eyes on her . laverne : but did n't you have a girlfriend at the time all this magic happened , mr . dalton ? tripp : yes , claire brady . laverne : mm . tripp : but we broke up . laverne : so you 're saying that your relationship with ms . brady is completely over ? tripp : yes . laverne : she has quite the social media presence , does n't she ? tripp : she does ... [ clears throat ] laverne : she certainly was over the moon about a phone case you gave her . tripp : at christmas time . laverne : and it looks like from her posts and tags and emojis and status that you were pretty much her world . it seems she 's even written a song about you -- several . mm , sounds like love to me . it really ended so quickly ? tripp : it was n't like it was a super serious relationship . i was kind of on the rebound when we hooked up . laverne : hmm ... and you lived with jj deveraux after you left your sister 's house ? haley : yes . i needed a place to stay . laverne : and it was a completely platonic relationship ? haley : yes . jj and i were -- we 're just friends , nothing more . laverne : interesting , because if your relationship with mr . deveraux was completely platonic , why did you kiss him ? claire : oh , my god . ciara 's my aunt , jj , and we 're family . i love her so much and i would never do something like that . and honestly , i ca n't believe that you would even think that . i did n't even know where she was to do something so evil . jj : hey , claire ? claire : what ? jj : i really think you need to relax . i 'm not accusing you . claire : [ scoffs ] okay . okay , good , 'cause you really freaked me out there for a second ... [ sighs ] okay , so , um , what 's the big deal about this random lighter ? jj : well , ben used to live here . got me wondering -- maybe he left a lighter behind or hid it in your jewelry box . claire : [ sighs ] look , jj . i 'm really ashamed to say that , you know , for a while , i ... [ stammers ] i took up smoking . and so , i kept my cigarettes and my lighter in that box . jj : so , you bought the lighter . claire : no , i just -- i found it lying around here , and i kept it . jj : so then , it could be ben 's . claire : okay , or it could be joey 's or jade 's . you know , that girl liked these pumpkin spice scented candles that just smelled like vomit ... [ laughs softly ] jj : still , i think it 's possible it 's ben 's . claire : okay , sure . i guess so . so , what ? jj : so , it could be evidence that ben started that fire that almost killed ciara . claire : oh , jj . that really sounds like a long shot to me . jj : yeah ? but it 's possible , which means i need to go to the police with this . ben : i ca n't believe that jordan could have a baby . ciara : or not . ben : [ sighs ] ciara : i mean , when we were in the cabin together , she was never really hugely maternal with charlotte . and i get that she 's not well , but ... what kind of a person just walks away from their own baby ? ben : after my mom died , jordan could 've just walked away . she didn't . she was always there . no matter how bad a day could get , she 'd be there with a hug or advice -- pancakes . ciara : [ laughs softly ] that 's where you learned how to make those . ben : jordan did whatever she possibly could to try to give me some kind of normal , and a house that was anything but . ciara : i am so sorry , ben . i ca n't even begin to imagine the kind of pain you must be going through -- that the one person who cared about you your entire life -- well , i mean ... [ sighs ] she 's not that person anymore , obviously . this is not the same sister who was so good to you before . ben : no , no , no . it is not ... [ sighs ] ciara : and ben , even though she 's changed , and even though she is not well , it does -- it does not mean that all the good times you guys had were a lie . if you felt protected and loved by her , ben , then you were . okay ? and i know it 's hard , but you can try to cherish those positive memories you have with her . ben : i do n't know how to do that . ciara , how do i reconcile that the sister who loved and protected me now hates me ? she thinks i 'm this evil , dangerous person . she 's made it her life purpose to make sure that everyone in this town continues to stay against me and be afraid of me . could you do that ? could you value all the positive memories ? ciara : probably not -- ben : probably not . and now i just learned that she abandoned her own baby ? why ? to protect people from her evil brother ? to stop him from ruining more lives and ending more lives ? [ sighs ] i guess that 's an honorable reason . ciara : what ? honorable ? ben , it 's not honorable . it 's vile and disgusting and just proves to me that she is insane . ben , you -- you are such an amazing person now . you are such a decent human . okay ? jordan is the one who 's dangerous . she 's the dangerous one and she is the one who wants to destroy people 's lives . ben : why , why ? why ? how does that happen ? how does somebody go from being so good and kind ... ciara : [ sighs ] ben : and end up like this ? ciara : i do n't know . but i do know that everything is going to be okay . hmm ? i promise . everything is gon na be okay . [ soft dramatic music ] humira patients , you inspire us . [ gentle music ] ben : i do n't know what i 'd do without you . the real world calls . ciara : [ sighs ] what are you doing now ? ben : i 'm doing my job . a little part of me wants to jam out to california right now and see if this is all real , if this baby 's real , but i know rafe 's on it , so i 'm gon na go handle these creeps in the meantime . ciara : by yourself ? ben , are you kidding me ? ca n't you at least call , like , the da or the fbi or somebody ? just call someone ... [ sighs ] ben : stefan wants me to handle this personally . [ gun clicks ] [ knocking ] hope : come in . oh , hey . ted : hey . hope : hey , i 've been trying to reach you . ted , i appreciate your offer to ... [ sighs ] do n't resign because of me . ted : i didn't . abe would n't accept my resignation . looks like we 're stuck with each other . eve : well , well , mayor carver . what , are you off to shake some hands and kiss some babies ? abe : i 'm headed back to my office to do my job , which i expect to keep . jack : before you go , i would really like to hear your official position on illegal immigration . i mean , i know that you support ted laurent , a naturalized citizen , but this thing with chen -- did you know that she and her faux fiancé are being interviewed by ice today ? abe : i 'm aware . eve : yes , an illegal who got caught is trying to game the system , and you 're fine with that ? abe : well , maybe they 're in love . jack : i happen to know for a fact that the relationship is a lie . abe : how do you know that ? haley : i do n't know where you got your information . laverne : from jj 's father , jack deveraux . his son confided in him about the alleged kiss , and he made it sound like you two were an item . haley : [ scoffs ] mr. deveraux does n't have his facts straight . did he lie about the kiss ? haley : no , he -- he didn't . there was a kiss . jj kissed me . laverne : and what happened ? haley : nothing happened . i told him that i just saw him as a friend . [ sighs ] i know how this looks to immigration and social media and mr . deveraux , but tripp and i ... [ sighs ] you 're married . you know how crazy love can be . it happens , and it comes out of nowhere , especially when you least expect it . but when it does , it does , and that 's what happened with me and tripp and i am just the luckiest girl in the world that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me . laverne : well , he may have to move to china to do it . ( announcer ) do you push through migraine ? ted : abe believed that i 'm -- i am more a liability if i resign than if i stay . so , he asked me to stay -- well , at least until after the election ... [ sighs ] but i meant what i said . i do n't wan na cause any trouble for you . hope : you won't . ted : um , i do n't think rafe 's gon na be happy that i 'm sticking around . hope : then he 'll have to take it up with abe . ted : yeah . maybe i should talk to rafe -- try to clear the air , right ? hope : he 's not here . he is in california . ted : california ? well , what 's in california ? hope : jordan ridgeway 's baby , apparently . ted : a baby ? hope : yeah , she asked to see rafe , and he -- she claimed that she left her baby with a friend and , of course ... [ laughs softly ] rafe was the only person in the entire universe she trusts to go get the baby . ted : ah , and rafe could n't say no ? hope : did i mention that rafe and jordan dated for a while ? ted : well , the man definitely has a pattern . it must be pretty difficult . it 's not easy , right ? hope : no , not easy . not at all . [ gun clicks ] ciara : is this really necessary ? ben : it 's absolutely necessary . i 'm stefan dimera 's head of security , and i have a permit . situations like this , usually words are n't enough . ciara : oh , so you 're going full vigilante on us ? ben : oh , i 'm doing exactly what i have to do in order to protect chloe and the kids . ciara : yeah , and it could be committing suicide , ben . we know what these men are capable of , okay ? what if you get killed ? you could get killed , or you could get kidnapped . what if you do n't come home ? ben : ciara , that 's not an option because i have a very , very good reason to get back to salem as soon as possible . ciara : me . ben : you . ciara : [ laughs ] jj : so , will you give me the lighter ? i need to take it down to the police station . [ door clicks ] claire : hey , guys , hey . you back already ? [ door slams ] tripp : well , it was n't easy , but we stuck to the story . claire : right , so you think they bought that you two are a couple ? haley : i hope so . i mean , she definitely tried to trip us up . i mean , she -- she even asked about you . jj : me ? haley : mm - hmm . she said that your father told ice that we kissed . eve : abe , you ca n't be naive enough to believe that tripp dalton and haley chen are actually in love . abe : i believe that they have genuine feelings for each other , before i believe whatever this relationship between you is supposed to be . jack : now , abraham , that 's hitting below the belt . abe : you say my name with such familiarity . eve : because you know him . abe : no . i do n't know him . i mean , i hear and i see my old friend standing in front of me -- the man we lost too soon , the man who used to barbecue at our house , drink all of our beer , bore lexie to tears with them lame - ass jokes . and yet , the man in front of me is a completely different person . eve : well , he 's changed for the better . abe : sadly , no . the man you used to be would champion a person like haley chen . you would use the power of your brilliant pen to make her case , hold her up , shine a light on the caring , compassionate young woman she is . and if some opportunistic , wannabe politician came along , preyed on her situation to grab a chance at power , you 'd be the first to call them out . where is that jack ? is this is the man you 've become , my old friend might as well still be dead . ( christine ) things were stolen from my kids i feel like . hope : thank you for letting me vent , and i 'm so sorry that i did so . ted : you are under a lot stress . i get it . but one of the perks of having a da who is your friend is the fact that you can vent at him anytime you want . [ knocking ] [ door clicks ] hope : come in -- hey , hi . rafe : hey . hope : when did you get back ? rafe : i just did . oh , what a surprise . ted 's here . ted : hello , rafe . hope : what happened in california ? was it a wild goose chase ? rafe : actually , not so much . [ soft dramatic music ] [ cell phone rings ] ben : [ groans ] aw , it 's stefan . ciara : [ sighs ] you better get that . [ keypad beeps ] ben : hey , stefan . oh , really ? so , do you not want me to leave right away , or ... why ? no -- okay . no , no , no . no , it 's no problem . well , uh , we 'll just talk later . all right . [ keypad beeps ] ciara : so , you 're not going ? ben : well , apparently , he wants to explain to me later and for now , i 'm supposed to stay put in salem . ciara : yay , yay , yay , yay . oh , my gosh . this is the best news ever , ben . i am so relieved . you have no idea . ben : yeah , yeah , me too . ciara : oh . mmm . ben : [ sighs ] ciara : [ giggles ] but you know what ? the truth is , i was gon na come with you anyway . ben : [ scoffs ] yeah , right . there 's not a chance in hell ... ciara : ben , ben . i can not stay away from you . i really can't . i need you . i need you close to me -- just like this . [ laughs softly ] i need you so , so much . jj : hm , of course , my father talked to ice . well , what an ass ...

[ scene_break ] brady : we do n't have anything to discuss . nicole : do n't worry , it 's just business . brady : what kind of business ? nicole : mine . i need a job . and since i have experience at titan ... brady : whoa . you 're -- you 're kidding , right ? nicole : no , why would i be ? brady : you do remember victor , right ? victor hates you . nicole : oh , victor hates everybody . brady : no , this is not gon na happen , nicole . look , if you need ... if you need money or if you need a loan ... nicole : no , no , no , no . i do n't want your handouts . i lived off of ej , and we all know how that turned out . look , brady , i 've been given a second chance , all right ? and i want to use it to take charge of my own life . brady : that sounds good . that 's good . nicole : uh , there 's ... there 's just one little problem with that plan ... something i do n't have ... a reason to wake up in the morning . brady : you 're not gon na find that here . [ scene_break ] sami : so you think we 're cut from the same cloth . ej : well , do n't you think so ? sami : yes ... [ scoffs ] i do . one of the things i love about rafe is that he is n't ... like me . ej : even if that means he ca n't forgive you ? sami : see , the thing is , if sydney had been his ... he would never have lied to me about it . and it 's not that he did n't try to move on ... try to forgive me , try to let it all go . he did . he really did , but ... but maybe we 're just too different . maybe he just ca n't ... live with me because of who i am . but the good thing about rafe not being able to let things go is that he 's never gon na give up on finding anna , right ? i mean , he , um ... he 's not gon na give up until he makes her pay . ej : i really hope so , but , uh , i have thebe honest with you , samantha . i do n't think that 's going to happen .

[ chuckles ] jack : i like the sound of that . eve : you bet . jennifer : i need a word with you . jack : uh , i think after our last conversation , it 's best if we just stay as far away from each other as possible . jennifer : i disagree . jack : like i said before , i think it 's best if we just avoid each other , hmm ? jennifer : come on , jack . we share kids , we share grandkids , and god forbid if you 're elected mayor , given our jobs , we are going to be spending a lot of time together . unless of course that 's incentive for you to drop out of the race . jack : almost but not quite . anything else ? jennifer : i wanted you to hear it from me first . `` the spectator `` is officially going to endorse abe carver for mayor . jack : ah , so much for unbiased coverage . jennifer : it was adrienne 's decision . jack : oh , et tu , adrienne . my own sister . what do you think about that ? jennifer : your sister would have voted for the old jack in a heartbeat . jack : i thought i was nothing but a screw - up in my political days of yore . jennifer : no , because even the old , ruthless jack would never relentlessly pursue haley chen , sacrificing her at the altar for your blind ambition . jack : stop right there . i may be ambitious , but this election is mine to win , because my message resonates with the public . and you know why ? because people are sick and tired of being taken advantage of . jennifer : oh , really , jack ? who is haley hurting ? jack : how about our son for starters ? jj obviously cares for haley , even though she 's already roped his cousin into a green card marriage . does n't it bother you just a little bit that she 's using both our son and our nephew ? jennifer : oh , my gosh . somewhere in there you care , do n't you ? tripp : hey , thanks again for stepping up as my best man . i do n't expect you to throw me a bachelor party or anything . not unless you really want to . hello ? jj : i 'm sorry , man . what 'd you say ? tripp : are you sure you 're on board with all this ? jj : yeah , yeah . no , i 'm sorry , it 's just my head was somewhere else . tripp : dad ? i mean , i 'd be ticked off too if my dad pulled something like yours did . jj : not my dad . claire . tripp : what 's going on with claire ? jj : look , it 's the weirdest thing and it 's probably nothing , but , uh , jordan ridgeway claims that she did n't set that first fire at the cabin that almost killed ciara . tripp : yeah , and she 's in a psych hospital now , so ... jj : yeah , no , maybe she 's telling the truth , maybe she 's not . but right after i found that out , haley and i had to put the ring back in claire 's jewelry box . there was a lighter exactly like the one i found at the crime scene when ben tried to burn abigail alive . haley : that 's right , i remember you were telling me about that . tripp : you do n't think claire -- jj : no , no , no , no . no , of course not , but i want to know where she got it . she told me that she found it around here when ben was living with you . tripp : i mean , during her brief smoking phase , she kept that secret away from everybody . what 's the big deal ? i mean , there 's a lot of lighters in the world . jj : no , i know , but the cop in me ca n't help but wonder . what if that lighter is the missing dot that connects ben to that fire ? claire : sorry , guys , i was just -- um -- what are you doing ? jj : you and i , you and i talked about me taking this lighter to the cops . claire : yes , i never said yes . jj : is -- is there a problem ? claire : no , of course not . there 's not a problem , but i just -- it 's just a lighter . what could -- what could you possibly do with it ? jj : i am not sure , and i know it 's a long shot , but even if there 's a chance we can connect that lighter to that fire ... claire : it 's just that it 's been lying around here forever , and it seems like kind of a dead end to me . tripp : maybe , but if ciara 's dating the guy who tried to kill her , we owe it to her to find out whatever we can . claire : it 's true . yeah , of course . all right . here you go . jj : wish me luck . claire : good luck . [ baby fusses ] lani : i ca n't believe his name is david . eli : maybe he was named after someone special , like our son was . lani : like david abraham ? how old is he ? eli : rafe said about six months . lani : that 's how old our baby boy would be . if he was born on his due date . six months . eli : yeah , i know . lani : hi . hi , sweet boy . hello . ted : so who 's the baby 's father ? rafe : oh , the birth certificate leaves that field blank . and the neighbor had no idea . ted : no daddy . mommy is in a loony bin . uncle ben is a serial killer . any other next of kin ? haley : clyde 's in prison , thank god . rafe : there 's no one else that we know of . ted : so what the hell are you going to do with the baby ? sheila : you 're not a quitter . and there 's no way in hell you 're gon na lose to a guy who does n't know jack . abe : he 's as sharp as a snake , and he and eve have me on record supporting haley 's right to be in the country . sheila : but it was the right thing to do . abe : but it 's not a popular position in today 's political climate . he will twist my words into a weapon against me . sheila : well , then fight back . you 're standing up for what 's right , abe carver , and plus you can sleep at night knowing you still have your integrity . abe : yeah , i do n't know about that . sheila : so what 'd you do , like pay your parking ticket late or something ? abe : found out that my new interim da is a blackmailing son of a bitch . sheila : well , fire his ass . abe : it 'd all come out that i hired a crooked lawyer and never took the time to vet him . sheila : because you trusted your commissioner . abe : oh , it does n't matter . and all on the heels of trask leaving the office . sheila : so that 's why the jerk gets to stay ? optics ? abe : for now . sheila : that 's a hell of a risk . abe : yeah . i know . but i decided that it was better for the town to have a corrupt district attorney than a corrupt new mayor . ted : quite the hero , saving the baby . but did n't you think you needed more of a plan ? rafe : well , i was n't going to leave david in the care of someone who could n't look after him indefinitely . hope : no , of course not . rafe : right . hope : hey , i 'll call child protective services , ask them to take the baby until we can confirm with jordan 's doctors in the morning , make a more long- term plan . rafe : no . no , not yet . lani : ooh , david needs a diaper change . do n't you ? eli : i just changed him 20 minutes ago . lani : then it 's my turn . eli : then you will need this . there you go . lani : hi . jj : what 's this ? eli : meet jordan ridgeway 's son . lani : david . jj : david . jordan has a kid ? lani : who needs a diaper change right away . eli will explain everything . jj : that 's not weird . eli : rafe just brought him back from california . he was sure that that baby was some sort of delusion , but clearly jordan was telling the truth . jj : well , if she told the truth about the baby , then maybe she told the truth about not setting that cabin fire . that 's why i 'm here . i 'm hoping you can help me . haley : this wedding dress thing , man , it 's way too hard . you know what , i 'd rather talk about cake . what 's your favorite ? tripp : chocolate . claire : red velvet . oops , sorry . do n't mind me . i 'm just the dumped ex . oh , come on , i 'm kidding . i 'm kidding . carry on . haley : [ chuckles ] chocolate is my favorite too . claire : oh , my god ! tripp : what ? claire : well , the deveraux campaign just tweeted and , guys , they 're holding a rally tonight at the square . tripp : that sounds like something to avoid . claire : oh , oh , my god . get this . hashtag , ice . hashtag , haley chen . haley : wow , they 're not gon na stop until they 've ruined my life , will they ? claire : [ sighs ] it 's so unfair . so terribly unfair . jack : i may not remember my relationship with my son , but i care . i told you that . jennifer : it 's just been so long since i 've seen a glimpse of the old jack . maybe he really is in there . [ gentle music ] hope : why should n't i call child protective services ? rafe : because when david is placed in foster care , it will be a bureaucratic nightmare for jordan to ever get him back , you know this . hope : you feel responsible . ted : of course he does . rafe : thank you , ted . hope : okay , okay . what 's the alternative ? rafe : well , david obviously has a father who might be able to look out for him . there 's potentially next of kin . i do n't know , i need to speak with jordan , so ... do you not have somewhere else you can go ? ted : i 'll leave you to it . rafe : yeah . ted : enjoy your evening together . rafe : [ scoffs ] [ phone beeps ] hope : oh . rafe : something important ? hope : mm - hmm . reservation reminder . our re - rescheduled anniversary dinner . rafe : right . that 's tonight . hope : mm - hmm , yeah . i honestly thought that i was gon na have to cancel it when you took off to california , but now that you 're back , i -- should i confirm ? tripp : no , look , this rally is just more of jack and eve 's bull , all right ? they 're gon na jump up and down , yell and scream about what a fraud we are and how our marriage is a big sham , but you know what ? they can say whatever they want . they ca n't prove anything , so ignore this . it means nothing . haley : mm - hmm . claire : jack and eve really are just so horrible . but , guys , you do n't by chance think that maybe we actually really need to be there ? haley : eh , no , no , i don't . claire : but if we 're there , if we 're there then we can hear what they have to say . we can get a feel for their supporters and their angle , and that can help us prepare to fight back . tripp : i mean , maybe -- maybe claire 's right , we should go . you know , we can show people that we 're a committed couple . you can flash your ring . claire : my ring . which looks amazing on you . haley : claire , i know how much this sucks for you , but i 'm sorry , and again , just thank you so much for everything . claire : i 'm just glad it 's all working out for you . tripp : we should head over there . haley : yeah , i guess might as well , right ? claire : how bad can it be ? tripp : well , no , no , hold on . there 's no way you can show up with us . you 're supposed to be my ex . claire : that 's right .

[ phone beeps ] deimos : you know something , if that 's business related , now that you 're not with titan , you 're obligated to pass that onto me . sonny : it 's `` none of your business `` business . deimos : all right , fine . you have exactly one hour to get your things out of titan 's offices . in the meantime , i 'm gon na be waiting with bated breath to see what you come up with basic black 's summer collection . sonny : [ sighs ] kate : well , i knew it was a mistake for her to stay in the room . she does not understand the nature of our business . chad : can we just have a minute , please , kate ? kate : of course . but look at those numbers and tell me if we 're doing anything wrong . abigail : so what happened to going legit with dimera enterprises ? chad : abigail , it 's a process . abigail : you told me that you wanted to build something that thomas would be proud of some day and that was far removed from your father 's legacy . chad : and i still want that . but we ca n't fight deimos unless we are strong , okay ? that is what he understands : strength . so , yes , i want to go clean , and i want to do things the right way , but until deimos is out of the picture completely , i am gon na do whatever it takes to keep my family safe . okay ? okay ? abigail : i need to run some errands before we go to the zoo , so ... i 'll just -- i 'll met you there . okay ? chad : i promise . abigail : okay . [ ominous music ] kate : so is this our new chain of command ? we run every business decision past our moral compass ? chad : stop . abigail 's a part of the company . kate : i just ca n't help think that gabi would totally understand what we 're doing here . chad : gabi is n't my wife , kate . abigail is , and you need to start respecting that . kate : i have been respectful , but i 'm also a realist . you 're like a son to me , and if i feel that you 're doing something wrong , then i 'm going to say something . abigail : you know , all due respect , kate , but i think you need to shut the hell up and you need stay out of our lives .

john : he 's in the hospital , but he 's in police custody . that incarnation -- never gon na hurt you again . steve as stefano : why would you ever agree to help john black -- why ? rolf : well , he exaggerated the extent of your injuries . made it sound as though your very life were in danger , and of course , i wanted to help ! steve as stefano : idiot . he waved a bait in front of your ego , and you took it . how could you let him manipulate you this way ! rolf : i am sorry , sir . may i say it is wonderful to see you in such good health , except for -- steve as stefano : how is marlena -- how is she ?

kristen : my father first came to me as steve , and i kept it secret , and i chose ... loyalty to a man that did n't deserve it , and i chose it over your safety , john 's , brady 's , and so many others . john : yeah . you could have stopped it right then , and none of this would have happened . marlena : john , it 's all right . kristen : no it 's not . it 's not , and i apologize to you , marlena , from the bottom of my heart , and i really do hope that you can forgive me . marlena : when stefano was leading me out of the room to our honeymoon , you were concerned . you were the one that intervened . i 'm so grateful to you for that . now , i know there 's been a lot of tension between us . i think it 's time we put that to an end . i think it 's time we all move forward . kristen : thank you . john : well . you know , i think that part of that moving forward is to get dr . rolf to remove the microchip from steve 's brain . once that happens , the phoenix will never rise from the ashes again . steve as stefano : do you understand ? rolf : yes . completely . steve as stefano : and i have your solemn word that you will see this through ? rolf : i wo n't let you down . kayla : all right , gentlemen -- and i use that term loosely -- your time is up . steve as stefano : may i ask , is there any word on marlena ? kayla : she 's awake . steve as stefano : thank god . kayla : and she 's with john , and i am happy to report that she is back to her old self again . i 'm sorry if that put any kind of crimp in your day . steve as stefano : ha . why should it ? i 'm not about to give up . the connection between me and my queen is too strong . she will be mine again , one day , and for all eternity . kayla : you are so delusional , but go ahead . enjoy the fantasy while you can , because your days are numbered . steve as stefano : the hell they are . i am a phoenix . kayla : phoenix . right . for now . you removed the chip from hope and marlena , and you 're going to do the same for steve . brady : so you and my mom . kristen : what ? brady : practically besties . kristen : oh . i would n't go as far as that , but it was kind of her to forgive me for my part of stefano 's plan . brady : it 's over -- stefano 's reign of terror is done . kristen : god . i hope so , but the phoenix always has a -- brady : no , no , no . do n't say it . kristen : okay . brady : do n't say it . like marlena said , today is a good day to move forward . you and i have a lot to look forward to . kristen : we do , do n't we ?

tina : the story they told me is that our car got a flat and when frank got out to check it , he got hit by another car . shortly after his funeral , the police showed up at my door . they said the reason why frank never talked about his work is because the people he worked for were criminals . and then the police looked into our financial records , and they discovered that frank had been stealing from his bosses . steve : so then his accident was n't an accident . tina : right . and now i think these people are after me . i moved back here to try to get away from them , but -- but now i keep seeing the same guy outside my building every night . i mean , they ca n't get money back from me . i barely have enough to live . or maybe they 're just trying to get even . i do n't know . but i 'm really scared . steve : okay , so can you describe this guy you keep seeing ?

chad : yes . yes , and to her it 's real even though she knows it ca n't be . jj , this lunatic has killed four people and he 's on the loose . you guys ca n't find him anywhere ? jj : maybe the guy in california is him . chad : yeah , well , i hope so . because right now , the only place i know he is is in her head . and that scares the hell out of me . ciara : i 'm thinking about taking a english a.p . class during the summer , but i do n't have to . abigail : oh , no , that 's fine . really , it 's okay . you , uh ... we 're not gon na need someone 9 : 00 to 5 : 00 anyway .

[ chuckles ] wow , a bunch of stuff came up . now , the majority of folks that you meet are not going to be students of the classics , like i am -- porn classics -- so they 'll never make the connection . if i stay quiet , your secret will remain safe . nicole : if my husband finds out that you threat -- scooter : he 's not your husband . and his name is not freddie . he 's a rich businessman named brady black , and his grandfather is victor kiriakis . if i tell old hillary who you two really are , you 'll be under arrest so fast , your heads will swim . and those two little kids , they 'll go in the system , and you 'll never see them again . so ... why do n't you just drop that towel and start being reasonable , hmm ?

[ chuckles ] what the hell am i talking about ? of course he did . kayla : i 'm really worried about him , roman . stephanie : and i am worried about my mom . she keeps getting herself worked up , and it could hurt her and the baby . roman : okay , kayla . you listen to me , all right ? steve 's a smart man . he will not take any unnecessary risks . kayla : then why did n't he tell me what 's going on ? roman : because he did n't want to worry you , that 's all . stephanie : exactly . just like i told you . that 's why he did n't want to tell you , and that 's why he did n't want me to tell you . kayla : well , you did the right thing by telling me . i think your father did the wrong thing . roman : yes , and i 'm sure when you see him next time , he will pay for it . but , kayla , right now the important thing is to do what is best for that baby . kayla : of course . you 're right . roman : okay , good . then do n't do anything foolish . steve will be just fine . and listen , if you want me to get involved , i can do that . we ca n't put out an official apb because you just talked to steve . and he 's not officially missing . but i can do some looking around if you want . kayla : no , that 's fine . i 'm sure he 's okay . listen , thank you for coming by on such short notice . roman : all right . anytime . i love you . kayla : i love you , too . roman : all right . well , something tells me bo is not gon na be this easy . stephanie : [ chuckles ] roman : all right . see you two later . stephanie : bye , uncle roman . roman : bye - bye .

[ scene_break ] kayla : ava thinks that hope is me ? how is that possible ? bo : i have no idea , but that 's what steve told me . kayla : so , now he 's probably gone off to rescue hope . bo : oh , yeah . you know what ? if he had told us about this woman in the beginning , we would n't have had to deal with any of this . kayla : but you just had that surgery . i 'm pregnant . he probably just did n't want to upset us and thought that he could take care of this himself . bo : yeah , and he 's doing one hell of a job , is n't he ? now this crazy bitch has my wife . kayla : bo , we need to call the police . bo : no , no . we ca n't do that . steve is convinced that that would make things worse . apparently ava 's father has connections . kayla : i already told roman . bo : what ? kayla : i told him that there was this crazy ex - girlfriend that was stalking him and that he probably went after her . bo : what did roman say ? kayla : maybe he was just trying to keep me calm , but he said he was sure that steve could handle it . bo : [ exhales sharply ] well , maybe he wo n't do anything for a while . and with any luck , he wo n't compare notes with abe 'cause steve apparently talked to abe about this ava woman . before they figure anything out , which they will , i 've got to get out of here and find our spouses . kayla : no , come on . come on . you ca n't do that . you just had risky surgery . bo : yeah ? kayla : well , i 'm the one . i 'm the one that should leave and go find them . bo : you 're pregnant . i 'm not gon na let you risk the health of your baby and yourself . kayla : well , we ca n't sit here and do nothing . bo : i know .

[ crowd murmuring ] eve : um ... jennifer : well ? if jack made such a romantic proposal last night , i 'm sure he gave you a ring . eve : yes , yes , he did . [ crowd oohing ] yes , i thought it was best to wear it on my right hand until the press conference . we did n't want our big secret to get out before we made it official . so there it is . what do you think ? jennifer : i mean , it 's ... i mean , it 's -- it 's modest , considering the grandiose story that you 're trying to tell . eve : well , jack and i are true romantics at heart . is n't that right ? [ crowd awwing ] you know , it 's not about the ring , but it 's about the love that we share . that 's right . the deveraux campaign is about substance .

[ cooing ] mwah . sweet boy . jordan : i wish i knew what to do with this . like , is it better half up or maybe down ? rafe : jordan ... jordan , can you tell me , is the baby named after his father ? is his name david , too ? jordan : what does the baby 's dad have to do with any of this ? rafe : well , it has everything to do with it . if you tell me his father 's name , maybe i can track him down , then maybe he can look after david . you know , at least until you can look after him yourself . jordan : no ! okay , that is the last thing that i want . do you hear me ? david 's dad has never been a part of his life and he never will be . ted : you needed someone and rafe was off being there for one of his exes . your husband seems to have time for everyone -- sami and kate and now jordan -- everyone except his wife . hope : no , i ca n't do this . i ca n't , i -- you 're the last person i should be talking to about -- ted : fine . how about we talk about you and me then ?

[ laughs ] eli : yo , figured i 'd help you out with the drinks . sheila : oh , are n't you a gentleman ? but we might be waiting a while , 'cause i do n't know where this bartender disappeared to . eli : it 's all good . sheila : but getting right to the point , you look real happy these days , my friend . so i assume detective price has a lot to do with that ? eli : yeah , yeah , for sure . so what 's up with you and abe ? sheila : [ scoffs ] lani : [ chuckles ] he 's beautiful , is n't he ? abe : yes , he is . but i am worried about you getting so close to him . lani : why would you say that ? jordan : why ca n't you bring my baby here to me ? i 'm sure if you talked to my doctors , they would tell you that is what 's best for me and my son . rafe : jordan , i understand how much having a family means to you , but right now , you 're not well , okay ? you need to keep focusing on your treatment and then maybe -- you know , maybe one day , you and david , you can be together again . jordan : okay . rafe : okay ? jordan : you 're right . i need to get well . that is what 's best for david . and for me . rafe : there you go . that 's right . that 's right , but for right now , we need to find someone who can take care of david . and you said you do n't want david 's father to be part of his life , so is there someone else ? another blood relative ? ben ? jordan : absolutely not ! hope : okay . okay , fine . this is my take on you and me . i 've confided in you about my husband at times ... when i was hurt , felt sad , disappointed . so naturally , of course , i can understand why you would see my marriage as fractured . vulnerable , fragile . but you 've misread that situation , mr . laurent . you thought that i was ready to give up on my marriage . if i 've misled you in any way , i 'm terribly sorry . it was n't intentional . ted : hey ... no . i do n't think i misread the situation . i believe i have a good grasp on it . hope , you are ready to move on . and hopefully with me . - just like any other family jack : no one tells me what to do . not you , not eve . no one . the choice i make is my own . eve : oh , i am so sorry , but the candidate is very , very busy and he does n't have any time to take any more questions from the press . come on , jack . sheila : me and abe ? i do n't know what you 're talking about . eli : when lani and i walked in , the way you two were standing -- it looked like there was a lot of tension between you two . sheila : oh , that ? nah , nah , nothing . eli : well , then , what 's up ? i thought you two were getting along . maybe even becoming friends . sheila : [ scoffs ] please , the mayor and i are definitely not friends . abe : you know , it 's good of you to help jordan take care of her son , but i 'm afraid that this david could bring up feelings of your own . lani : dad , i appreciate you worrying about me . but i do n't need another baby named david to bring up feelings about my own son . he 's right there with me every day , no matter what . what are you doing ? i love my little boy , dad , i always will , but right now , this little sweet angel , he needs all the love that he can get , do n't you ? what is that ? oh , oh . you want some to - go food ? come on . jordan : listen to me , rafe . i do not want ben anywhere near my child . you have to understand , clyde , he turned his son into a monster . and i do n't even want to give him the slightest chance to influence my little baby boy . rafe : i get that , i do . problem is , we 're running out of options here . and you said yourself that you do n't want your son to be part of the system . jordan : no , i don't . rafe : but that 's exactly what 's gon na happen if we do n't find a suitable temporary guardian . now , if you do n't want david 's father to look out for him , is there anyone else that you trust ? jordan : what about you ? ted : i 'm sorry if i 've been too blunt . it 's a tendency of mine , as you know . hope : ted ... we ca n't talk about this , not anymore . ted : you said before that you want me to leave you alone , to respect your marriage , but that 's not what you really want . hope : what i want ... what i want is for my marriage to work . ted : and yet you know that your husband is not as committed as you are . otherwise he would put you first , hope , all the time . hope : stop , stop , stop . ted : hope , if you were in a good marriage , i would respect that . i would be a fool not to . but this , what you have with rafe ... i see a man that is not committed enough , who is not passionate enough for you . i see a man that ... is not warmed by your own presence . that is not follement amoreux avec toi . hope : english please . english . ted : crazy in love with you . [ sighs ] like i am . sheila : [ scoffs ] hey , do n't look at me like that . all i did was give the man some suggestions about the campaign and abe bit my head off . eli : that does n't sound like abe . sheila : not usually , but , i mean , who knows ? maybe if his girlfriend had n't moved out of town , he 'd be in a better mood . eli : whoa , whoa , hold up . do n't put this on my mom . all right , she got a great opportunity and abe knows that . he would never stand in the way of her career . sheila : yeah , okay , that 's what he says , but , believe me , that man does n't know what he needs . eli : really ? okay . well , please , tell me what he needs then . sheila : what every man needs ! a woman who 'll stand by your side and tell you what 's what . eve : well , i do n't know about you , jack , but i think we did some major damage control tonight . you know what , if your numbers are n't up tomorrow -- jack : i do n't give a damn about the polls . eve : well , i do n't either , but , you know , a bump in the news cycle is a bump . jack : forget the numbers . do you honestly think i 'm gon na marry you ? hope : you 're crazy in love with me ? you barely know me . ted : i know what 's important to know . okay . you like escalators better than elevators , because secretly you like to people watch . you put a pair of boots under your desk because you like to walk in the rain . when you get your afternoon coffee , you always stop at the window of the bakery on the corner , but you never go inside . i never understood why . sometimes you take a paper clip and you twist it into a shape of a cat . but you only do this when you think no one is looking . hope : it 's a dog . ted : ah . sorry . [ both laughing softly ] you like your pizza crust a little burnt . but you will never drink coffee that has n't been brewed in the last ten minutes . you want the world to take you seriously . but you laugh at silly things sometimes , just like now . and when you do , your eyes -- they sparkle and they shine , just like the lights in paris . the very important things to know is that you are strong and caring and kind , and that you will do anything to protect the people that you love . but i see -- i see that you need to be protected just as you protect the others . that you need to be valued and cherished . that you need to be the center of someone 's universe . and that makes me love you even more . rafe : me . you want me to look after david ? jordan : well , it wo n't be for long . because i 'm gon na do everything that i can to get better and get back to my son . but until i 'm ready , i trust you to look after david and to keep him safe . i trust you . please . would you do that for me , please ? rafe : jordan , uh ... presenting downtherecare with cottonelle . tripp : so what are you planning on saying for your vows ? haley : i figured that i would go with something traditional . you know , `` to have and to hold , in sickness and in health . `` why , did you -- did you want something different ? tripp : i do n't know , i just -- i figured i 'd write my own . you know , add a couple quotes in there from `` the wedding singer , `` you know , `` four weddings and a funeral , `` `` muriel 's wedding . `` any movie with `` wedding `` in the title , really . haley : you 're kidding , right ? tripp : kind of . what ? i mean , just because this is n't a real wedding does n't mean we ca n't have a little fun with it , right ? haley : well , just because it 's not a real wedding i 'm thinking we should be more serious about it . tripp : have n't you ever been to a real wedding where the bride and groom use stupid quotes in their vows ? i mean , it 's all over youtube . jj : mom . you okay ? jennifer : yeah . just about to file my story . take a look . [ somber music ] so there you go . all done . eve : i do n't know what you 're so damn upset about . now if you want to back out of this , you go right ahead . i 'll just move this ring over to this hand , and we 'll figure out another way to spin this . but you better think of something fast . 'cause haley and tripp are getting married tomorrow . jack : this romance you 've concocted could play well to my base . eve : yeah , and not to mention the news cycle . jack : i do n't need one more damn news cycle . we 're gon na get married tomorrow too . eve : tomorrow ? jack : no time like the present , right ? haley chen and my nephew are busy concocting a lie . and the best way to fight a lie is n't with the truth , is it ? it 's with a bigger lie . eve : you could be right about that . come on , jack ; it 's not all fabrication , is it ? i mean ... there is something between us . right ? jack : we can sell this . you 're right . it 's an all - american love story . and who does n't love a love story ? sheila : what ? why are you looking at me like that for ? eli : you just seem awfully concerned about abe 's love life . sheila : hey , it 's my job to take care of the man , and , plus , you 've seen what the other side is doing to win this election . it 's a street fight . eli : and you got his back . sheila : and i got his drinks . so come on . i mean , the man 's grumpy enough without letting him go thirsty , so ... eli : here . i got you . sheila : okay . eli : i got you . look at you . all right . a cosmo for the lady . lani : not now . abe : hey . rafe : hey . abe : how 's it going ? rafe : oh , i heard that i 'd find you guys here . eli : um , hey . have you found anyone to watch this baby ? what 's going on ? rafe : yeah , actually , uh , jordan asked me to take care of him . i even got his favorite little blanket here . hey , check it out . what do you think of that ? huh ? oh , yeah . see , now , come on over here . oh , yeah . can i see him ? oh , we like that . oh , you like it . come here , david . come here , buddy . lani : of course . rafe : yeah .

ciara : [ sighs ] i think that my blisters have blisters . ben : yeah , the whole back to reality thing did n't go quite as planned . ciara : okay , so we did n't get hired on our first day out . ben : i did n't get past the receptionist . the whole ex - con thing did n't go over so well . big surprise . ciara : yeah , well , you know what ? no one was super excited to hire me either , so there . ben : i know what you need . ciara : what , a job ? ben : give it up . ciara : [ laughs ] oh , right there . mm . that 's really good . you know what , i think that this is your future , ben . i would hire you . ben : yeah ? ciara : i would hire you in a heartbeat . of course , that means that i would actually have to get a job first , so -- ben : no regrets leaving titan ? ciara : none . well , except for maybe the paycheck . yeah , it would come in handy , helping us pay for the rest of the nights that we 're staying here . ben : why do n't you let me worry about that ? in the meantime , we can enjoy the extra night that we already paid for . [ door closes ] evan : why am i here ? is there something wrong with david ? rafe : david 's fine . no thanks to you and your father . evan : where is my father ? rafe : that 's actually what i want to talk to you about . sonny : a dress bag ? xander : for the wedding . sonny : you may be taking this `` softer side of xander `` a little too far , do n't you think ? xander : it 's sarah 's , obviously . she was called into emergency and so i nipped by basic black to pick it up for her . sonny : wow , it 's nice that you 're embracing the nontraditional roles . of course , you know , your wedding is gon na be nontraditional , starting with the , you know , lack of guests . i ca n't say i 'm sorry , i was n't invited . xander : oh , well , you know , sarah and i 've had to throw this together last minute . so we have n't had a chance for formal invitations , but i would very much like you to be there . sonny : you would ? xander : in fact , i was hoping you 'd be my best man . [ sonny sighs ] nicole : let 's go home . sarah said she would call us after the surgery . and that 's probably gon na be a while . eric : how do i tell her ? all this time , the little girl that we prayed for , the little girl that we 've loved as our own , she is n't our child . i mean , how do i tell her ? how do i tell her that our little girl died almost a year ago ? nicole : it 's not too late to change your mind . if you choose not to say anything and raise brady and kristen 's child as yours and sarah 's , i promise you , i will never tell another living soul . jack : one double macchiato coming right up . justin : thank you . jack : that 's a hell of a lot of caffeine at this time of the night . justin : well , i do n't think i 'll be doing too much sleeping . jack : yeah , you and me both . i 'm glad that sarah 's in there with kayla . so i got to question the wisdom of kayla performing brain surgery on her husband -- her -- her ex - husband . justin : rolf refused , so there were n't a lot of options . and kayla has watched him do the procedure twice now , so it 's not like she 's going in cold . jack : still , you got to wonder ; i mean , why did n't you call in a consultant , a neurosurgeon , somebody ? what is the rush ? justin : i 'd say it 's a testament to just how badly she wants steve back . sarah : he 's under . kayla : okay . thank you for being here . let 's do it . scalpel . sarah : you all right ? kayla : yeah , i just keep thinking , it 's all in my hands , either i bring steve back or i kill him . g me over . father , sonny : why would you want me to be yo at least not until you n for a happy life nicole : i meant what i said . eric , sometimes , i wish i did n't tell you the truth . but i really do believe that mackenzie 's best hope for a happy life is to be with you and sarah . eric : no , nicole , it 's wrong . and as hard as it 's gon na be , brady and kristen deserve to know they have a daughter . sarah 's gon na marry xander tomorrow . she has to be told what he 's done . nicole : sarah already knows all the horrible things that xander has done , yet she 's marrying him anyway . and xander thinks he 's some kind of superhero because he did it all to protect his lady love . eric : yeah , well , he gutted the rest of us , and he ripped my heart apart twice . first , when he lied to me that i was n't mackenzie 's father and then he made believe that my daughter was alive . nicole : i know that you 're angry and you have every right to be . but you can not tip off xander that we know . at least not until you tell sarah 'cause god only knows what xander will do to stop the truth from coming out . sonny : why would you want me to be your best man ? i despise you . you let my husband sit in jail for a crime he did n't commit . all right , you screwed -- xander : heard it all from your father , who still ultimately agreed to officiate our ceremony . sonny : why ? xander : well , i think maybe justin understands i 'm trying to become a better person . sonny : oh , my god , come on . xander : if you would just reserve your judgment for a second , everything i did has been to protect our family . sonny : because you love our family just so damn much . xander : yes . sonny : well , it did n't stop you from screwing me over . xander : i do regret that . but maggie had to be protected . sonny : so will and i were just collateral damage ? xander : look , i 'm sorry that 's how it played out . that 's why i want to make a new start . i 'm extending this olive branch . sonny : well , you know exactly where you can put your olive branch ! sarah : you are a hugely experienced surgeon . and no one is more motivated than you to do this . and you have observed this procedure not once but twice . you 've got this . kayla : but i just have this nagging feeling that , this time , it 's gon na be different . sarah : why would it be any different ? kayla : stefano is rolf 's whole reason for existing . he 's his mentor and his idol . and removing the chip means that stefano dimera ceases to exist . i ca n't imagine that rolf is going to let it be easy for me to destroy the phoenix once and for all . ine rafe : the feds took orpheus to a facility for questioning . now considering you and your father have entered into a joint defense agreement , the lawyer you share has gone with him . evan : so ? rafe : so until that situation is resolved , you 're stuck here . now it could take a while . in fact , it could take quite a while unless , of course , you want to enter a guilty plea . evan : a guilty plea ? rafe : mm - hmm . evan : how stupid do you think i am ? i was out on bail . i helped return david to you . now i 'm in cuffs ? rafe : well , the only reason that you knew where david was is because you were involved in his kidnapping . we now have hard evidence to prove that . evan : he 's my son . rafe : but if you 'd like to testify against your old man , we might be able to work a deal . evan : to hell with you and your deal . rafe : suit yourself . evan : wait . you and i got to know each other pretty well when i was taking care of david . you know that i 'm not a bad guy . rafe : you killed jordan , the mother of your child . evan : it was an accident . rafe : you were gon na let someone else hang for it . evan : i regret that . rafe : what about all the lies you told every single day . evan : the only thing that i 'm guilty of is wanting to be a part of my son 's life . rafe : tell it to the judge . evan : i want to make a phone call . rafe : i already told you , your lawyer is unavailable . evan : i do n't want to talk to my lawyer . ciara : so , um , do you think it 's too early to , mm , get out of these clothes and get under the sheets ? ben : nah . ciara : nah ? ben : mm - mm . besides we have to wake up at the crack of dawn tomorrow , right ? ciara : uh - huh . ben : continue the job search ? ciara : yes , yes . this is true . so we should definitely , definitely call it a night . ben : i think so . i think so . [ cell phone ringing ] ciara : hey , are n't you -- are n't you gon na get that ? ben : nope . ciara : no ? but , ben , it could be about a job . ben : you 're right . [ sighs ] this is ben weston . really ? yeah , i do n't know about that . i 'm gon na have to think about it . ciara : think about it ? ben , if this is about a job interview -- ben : it was evan frears -- or christian maddox , whatever the hell his name is . ciara : wait , evan ? what 's going on ? ben : he 's at the police station . ciara : why ? ben : said he wants to see me . i do n't know why . but i do know i have much better things to do . and i think i was right about here . ciara : okay . but , okay , wait . ben , ben , wait , wait , wait . this is really important , okay ? it could be your chance . ben : i like my chance right here . ciara : no , ben . okay , ben , ben ! would you just -- would you just listen to me , okay ? evan killed your sister . and he was ready to let you die for it , okay ? you 've been wanting to confront him . and you can do that now . you can get some closure . baby , i really think you should go . xander : i take it you 're declining my offer . sonny : we both know the only reason you 're asking me is out of desperation because you do n't have a single friend . maybe you should ask yourself why ? xander : there 's no need to pile on . sonny : and for sarah , i just feel so bad for her . whatever she thinks she sees in you , i want her to come to her senses . but just too bad it will be late , it will be after she walks down the aisle . xander : i 'd be careful if i were you . you know , if victor heard you talking to me like this . sonny : ah , there it is , reverting to form , puffing out your chest , making threats . i knew you would n't turn over a new leaf . and just so we 're clear , my rsvp to the wedding is no chance in hell . eric : under all that muscle and attitude , he 's nothing but a coward . and i 'm not gon na let him dictate what i can and can not do . let 's go . nicole : where are we going ? eric : we 're going to the kiriakis mansion . nicole : now ? eric : yes . nicole : you 're not gon na confront him ? eric : no , but every night that i have been here , i have read mickey a bedtime story and kissed her goodnight . tonight is the last time i can do that as her father . nicole : then we 'll go together . kayla : suction . [ suction hose hisses ] oh . sarah : what 's wrong ? kayla : the location of this chip . it 's surrounded by all this tissue . marlena 's and hope 's was much easier to remove . the only way to remove this one is to cut straight through the vital areas of the frontal lobe . i could destroy steve , everything about him . want to se david is great . he 's w rafe : oh , hey . glad you decided to come down . ben : yeah . how 's david ? rafe : david is great . he 's walking and talking a mile a minute . you , you need to come and see him . ben : i would love that . thank you . rafe : yeah . ciara : so why does evan want to see ben ? rafe : well , i -- i think ben should find out for himself . ben : yeah , might as well get this over with . ciara : i 'll come with you . ben : no , no , no , thank you . but i would rather do this one on one . [ phone rings distantly ] ciara : ben was pretty dark on the way over here . rafe , are you sure it 's a good idea to leave them in that room alone ? ben : i 'm here . what do you want ? evan : to apologize . ben : for what ? for killing my sister or almost letting me fry for it ? evan : both . ben : this your way of sucking up to the court ? maybe show a little remorse , maybe it 'll knock a year or two down off your sentence . evan : i never intended to touch jordan . you have to believe that . i found out i had a kid . i was excited . and then she started to say i was never gon na see him again and i lost it . the next thing i knew , i ... i mean , look , you know what that is like , right ? you know what it 's like to lose control . ben : this is your apology ? evan : what i 'm trying to say is , being a dad , the connection that you have to your kid , the pull , it 's -- it 's more magnetic than anything i 've ever imagined . xander : [ sighs ] [ exhales ] what are you doing here ? eric : i want to see mickey . xander : why ? eric : i do n't have to tell you why -- she 's my daughter . nicole : he 's not asking you , xander , he 's telling you . xander : polite as always , but unfortunately mickey 's gone nighty night . so maybe tomorrow ? eric : yeah , well , listen , you son of a bitch . do n't play around with me , not after what you 've done . xander : what exactly have i done ? jack : stefano dimera rained down hell on so many people and hijacked my own brother 's body to do it . i think kayla 's just anxious to get rid of the phoenix as soon as possible . justin : we both know that 's not what 's behind this big rush . it 's about getting her husband back . jack : ex . ex - husband . remember what i said about worst case scenario stuff . do n't get ahead of yourself . justin : you also told me to take it one step at a time . well , it 's a damn big step for kayla to rush steve into surgery . jack : kayla loves you . justin : i know . what we have is amazing . but i also know it ca n't hold a candle to what she had with steve . sarah : do you want me to take over ? kayla : no , i do n't want to risk causing permanent brain damage . i 'm gon na stop . i 'm gon na sew him up . and we 're calling a specialist and we 'll try again later . sarah : i think that that 's the best course of action . [ device beeping loudly ] what 's that ? kayla : it 's coming from the chip ! [ beeps faster ] sarah : but what is that ? what do you think that means ? kayla : i have no idea . self - destruct mode engaged .

jj : yeah , yeah . paige : daphne 's mom would n't go to the hospital . but she was so sick , daphne called an ambulance anyway . the paramedic said it was lucky that dr. jonas was the surgeon on call that night , or mrs. markowitz might have died . jj : daniel 's a good guy . he and i are pretty tight . paige : really ? jj : yeah , yeah . paige : i am thinking of being a pre - med major . jj : what about music ? paige : what i want to be is a doctor . if i can hack it . jj : you know what ? if you wan na talk to daniel about any of that stuff , i , um ... i could make it happen . paige : you could ? jj : yeah , yeah , no problem . paige : [ laughs ] that 'd be awesome . but , you know , i should n't keep you from your studying . jj : oh , no , no , you 're good . you 're not . paige : i can walk myself home . jj : well , you know -- why do n't we catch up with mom and daniel and see when he 's got time to talk to you ? paige : we do n't even know where they are . jj : yeah , but we know where they 're headed . come on . paige : okay . [ laughs ] jennifer : no , i am not arguing that you know the mind -- daniel : of an average teenage boy ? i kinda do . jennifer : i 'm just saying if jj did n't want me there , i would know . daniel : i 'm not so -- jj : good , you guys are -- are still here . jennifer : yes ! do you need something ? jj : yeah , yeah . paige wanted to talk to you about being a pre - med major . daniel : oh , yeah , yeah . i 'd be happy to sit down with you , anytime . paige : really ? that 's so nice of you . daniel : yeah , sure . any friend of jj 's is -- paige : i know how busy you must be . jennifer : oh , but , you know , you have time right now , right ? daniel : uh , sure , i -- jennifer : because that thing that we were supposed to do , it got cancelled . so the four of us could just go to our house , and i could put on some coffee . oh , and i made one of those apple - walnut cakes . daniel : mmm . jj : my mom makes , like , the best cake . it is so good . paige : that sounds great . [ laughs ] jennifer : great ! well , let 's go then . i know a thing or two about teenage boys . daniel : oh , my gosh . jordan : you are not the only one who invested in us . rafe : yeah . yeah , i guess i know that . jordan : i - i could n't walk away from you and what we have together . rafe : are you afraid of something ? jordan : not when i 'm with you . and is n't that enough ? sheryl : you 're out to get jordan . you 're not even trying to deny it . kate : i 'm sorry that you feel like my pawn . but , for a pawn , i think you 're being very well - treated . we rescued you from that backwater where you lived . you 're earning a six - figure income . and you 're enjoying a relationship with my son that goes beyond collegial . sheryl : what do you mean by that ? kate : lucas ' answering machine is on the table next to his bed . so you can take your righteous indignation and you can stuff it because i think you have been treated very well by both lucas and me . sheryl : so i 'm supposed to be grateful for being used ? kate : used ? you 're a big girl . and my son is a gentleman . if you decided to do the boss , honey , i think that was your decision . sheryl : if you think that i am gon na stand by and let you try and ruin my friend 's life , you are dead wrong . kate : going somewhere ? sheryl : yeah , i think that jordan needs to know exactly how crazy you really are . kate : yeah , well , i think i would rethink that strategy if i were you . i would rethink it very , very carefully . sheryl : are you threatening me ? kate : no . actually , i 'm feeling very generous . i 'm going to offer you two options . [ whispering ] although i think you 'll find there 's really only one . [ normal voice ] the first option is that you complete your plan . you find jordan . you tell her everything . which will give you a great , warm sense of moral superiority . and i hope that tides you over when every corporate headhunter and human resources department in the country finds out that you 're an incompetent who sleeps her way to the top . sheryl : you would do that ? kate : in a heartbeat . the second option hinges on you keeping your big mouth shut . i 'm afraid you wo n't feel as good about yourself , but there are compensations . sheryl : like what ? kate : a promotion to our houston office . a place on the fast track to bigger and better things . are you following where i 'm going here ? sheryl : you 're a vindictive , cold - hearted -- kate : bitch . now you 've got it . [ door opens ] lucas : sheryl ! sheryl ! wait , wait a minute ! do n't listen to a word she said . i can explain everything . sheryl : no , save your breath . it 's fine . your mother just explained everything . it 's crystal clear . lucas : wait a minute . i knew it . i knew it ! i told you this would blow up in both of our faces ! kate : okay , just shut up and help me catch her and ... why do n't you try zipping up first ? lucas : what ? damn it . daniel : med schools are getting more interested in people with a background in humanities . jj : so she could still major in music . daniel : well , yeah , as long as she has enough science classes to pass the mcats . paige : sounds like a lot of work . daniel : oh , it is , it is . your social life 's gon na come to a screeching halt for a long time . paige : but if you can save someone like mrs. markowitz , it 's worth it , right ? jennifer : absolutely . paige : so i really do n't have to major in bio or anything ? [ beeping starts and stops ] daniel : you 'll just end up taking classes in botany and zoology , and that 's not gon na help you in med school . paige : oh , okay , i see . jennifer : daniel knows what he 's talking about . you can trust him . rafe : it means the world to me that you did n't take off . and that you feel safe when you 're with me . and i wish i could say that was enough . jordan : but it is n't . [ cell phone rings ] jordan : [ sighs ] sorry . let me just turn this off . [ sighs ] it 's sheryl . she says it 's an emergency . rafe : what does that mean ? jordan : i - i do n't know . i 'm gon na find out . hey . sheryl : jordan ! thank god ! i was afraid you 'd have your phone turned off . jordan : are you all right ? sheryl : i need to see you as soon as possible . jordan : uh , yeah , just tell me where you are . i 'll -- i 'll come to you . will : i was really nice and mellow after the massage . you 're really throwing me here . sonny : i 'm sorry . it 's just been on my mind . for a while . will : you picked a weird time to bring it up . sonny : well , maybe getting married brought it home for me . will : [ sighs ] sonny : i 'm , like ... ari 's stepfather now . will : [ sighs ] sonny : and i could n't love her more if she was my own daughter . i just do n't want anyone or anything to separate us from that baby . will : i get what you 're saying . sonny : okay , we need ... we need something in writing . a formal custody agreement . will : i remember when mom was pushing for me to get custody . it freaked gabi out . she thought i was trying to take arianna away from her . sonny : i think she was afraid of you and your family back then . think about it . she was waiting tables . she did n't have a dime to her name . but she 's modeling now . she 's got money in the bank . she 's been a wonderful mother for almost a year . she could want this custody thing just as much as you do . will : maybe you 're right . sonny : we need to get to her before nick turns her against us . jordan : sheryl ! sheryl : hey . jordan : hey , what 's wrong ? did something happen ? sheryl : well , the thing is that ... i ... daniel : see , med schools , they do n't just look at grades . activities matter too . jennifer : i 've been volunteering for a while now at various places so ... daniel : yeah ? that 's great . just keep doing what you 're doing , all right ? [ cell phone rings ] daniel : hold on a second . and you will be paged all the time . paige : [ laughs ] daniel : yeah , looks like i 'm gon na have to go soon . i 'm being called in for a consult . jennifer : this late ? you have the o.r . at 5 : 00 a.m . paige : 5 : 00 ? really ? daniel : that 's when elective surgeries are scheduled . emergencies , they can happen anytime . paige : how does anybody do that ? daniel : you just learn to take care of yourself , i guess . paige : like , how ? [ laughs ] daniel : like if i have some time to kill on the day before i 'm due in early , i just take a little power nap . and that night , i 'll take my son over to his grandmother 's house so i know that his schedule does n't really screw up my schedule and vice versa . you know what i mean ? paige : uh - huh . daniel : so i just get a decent night 's sleep , even if i have to be scrubbed in at 5 : 00 a.m . so i can get up early enough to make my power drink , my protein drink . jennifer : i knew you would get the protein drink in . he is devoted to those things . jj : he 's always trying to get us to drink them too . daniel : yes , because they 're good . put a little fresh o.j . in there . mm . done . jj : yeah , right . paige : surgical residencies are really long , right ? daniel : are you interested in surgery ? i could get you into the o.r . to observe if you want . paige : [ laughs ] that would be awesome . daniel : all right , done . paige : uh , and i have to get going . jennifer : oh . daniel : yeah , no worries . paige : i ca n't thank you enough for all of your time . daniel : nah , forget it . jj : i can walk you home . paige : thank you so much , mrs. deveraux . jennifer : no , problem . nice to meet you . paige : it was delicious . jennifer : good . paige : [ laughs ] i - i ca n't believe i know a surgeon like dr. jonas now . it 's all because of you . jj : i 'm glad i could introduce you guys . daniel : still think your son 's not interested in her ? jennifer : well , yes , he was very eager to walk her home . daniel : uh - huh , uh - huh . you stick with me , i will teach you the mind of a teenage boy . jennifer : okay , i 'll stick with you . daniel : promise ? jennifer : anyway , yes . daniel : good . jennifer : [ laughs ] daniel : good . mm . jennifer : mm . i 'm so glad you 're here . daniel : i 'm not going anywhere . jennifer : and i 'm not going anywhere today . liam : i ought to be able to do something with that . so , here 's the story of new lancaster . rafe : hey , kate , lucas . kate : telling them the good news , sheryl ? jordan : good news ? oh , but you sounded so upset on the phone . sheryl : because it 's , uh ... it 's good news and bad news . the good news is i got a promotion . um ... but the bad news is that ... it 's in the houston office . so ... kate : oh , i am so sorry . i just could n't think of a better person for the job , though . i ca n't tell you what sheryl did to earn this opportunity . jordan : well , that 's great . but i really like having you around . sheryl : oh , i like to be here too , but ... jordan : well , when you do leave ? kate : tomorrow . we have a new product launch , and we need her to get on the job right away . right , lucas ? lucas : yeah , yeah , that 's right . jordan : oh , well , this is all so sudden . rafe : you must be sad to see her go . lucas : yeah , yeah , i am . very much so . kate : well , i mean , i hate to break up this little party , but we really need to prep sheryl , lucas , so , um ... rafe : congratulations . sheryl : thank you . jordan : oh , i 'm gon na miss you . sheryl : i 'm really gon na miss you . jordan : well , we 'll stay in touch , right ? okay . rafe : see ya . kate : nicely done . i knew you 'd come through for us . jordan : i ca n't believe this . i really liked having a friend here . rafe : well , you could have a lot more friends here if you just let your guard down a little . jordan : i do n't wan na argue anymore . rafe : right . yeah . so we 'll just go back to the status quo . i mean ... [ sighs ] just , to me , it 's as though your life could have started the day you walked into my hospital room , right ? jordan : i get what you 're saying , i really do . and you 're right , you know . there are certain parts of my life that i want to keep off - limits . but i think that you 'd understand that , because you 're kind of the same way . will : i 'm telling you , if we even say the word `` custody `` to gabi , she 's gon na freak . and nick is gon na be right there telling her she has every right to freak . sonny : [ sighs ] i 've stressed you out , have n't i ? that 's , like , the last thing i wanted to do today . will : okay , well , then -- so pour me some of that champagne . sonny : this day has been like a dream , and i had to drag reality into it . so i apologize . will : do not apologize . sonny : what if we pretend i did n't say any of that . we can pretend that the world out there does n't exist , and it 's just you and me . will : except i do n't have to pretend anything . 'cause my reality is so amazingly perfect . sonny : i 'll drink to that . paige : uh , my house is right over there . so ... jj : so is this where abigail bumped into you ? paige : [ laughs ] she made a bigger deal out of it than it really was . jj : she 's like that . paige : i like her . but i never did get my run in . i guess i 'll go tomorrow morning before school . jj : that 's pretty early . paige : i know . jj : you know , maybe , um , it -- it would be safer if i went with you . jennifer : so are you going to call me when you get out of the o.r . ? daniel : i think the chances are , i 'd say , excellent , yes . jennifer : oh , good . daniel : but i got it right , did n't i ? did n't i ? jennifer : you got it right . you successfully channeled your inner teenage boy . so now i have insight into the mind of my son . so , yes , i 'm very impressed . i 'm very grateful . daniel : i am glad to hear it . i think i have some really creative ways for you to express your gratitude . jennifer : okay . well , how about this ? you know the patronizing way you wanted to balance my checkbook , and then you brought it to your place when i told you i did n't need help ? daniel : i did not do that part . jennifer : maybe we can just forget about it . and maybe we can forget about the childish way that i started a fight because of it . daniel : that right there is a deal . jennifer : okay . daniel : yeah . jennifer : so my son ... daniel : mm - hmm . jennifer : has the sweetest little girlfriend and not hanging out with his pothead friends . and everything is so good between us . i think i need to come up with a way to celebrate and surprise you . daniel : oh , yeah ? now did i tell you how much i love surprises ? can i show you ?

[ scene_break ] hi . oh , what -- oh . okay , chica , hand it over . melanie : hand what over ? the plasma you stole . then you and i are gon na walk over to seth burns ' office , and you 're going to admit everything you did . and after that , you 're gon na take that stuffed rabbit and never come back . melanie : okay . you 're mad . oh , you noticed . melanie : yes , but what if i had a really , really good reason for doing what i did ? i - i 'm gon na kick myself in the face for asking this , but what good reason could there be for you to steal theresa 's plasma ? melanie : okay , i 'm trying to solve something that 's really complicated and possibly disastrous . oh , really , nancy drew ? you know what ? hand it over . melanie : i ca n't do that . i do n't -- - look , i -- - i do n't have it because i broke it . you know what ? that 's it . melanie : what are you doing ? what are you doing ? i 'm calling seth to tell him we 're on our way . melanie : no , hey , please . whoa , whoa , whoa . wait . listen , we 've been friends from the beginning . real friends . it 's just one small -- if i could tell you about why i took it , i would . i promise , i would . it 's just a very small vial of -- of plasma . and just -- if you could just , please , keep this between us and not tell anybody else . i 'm begging you . if this gets discovered , i get fired , okay ? and there 's nothing you could say to justify what you -- jorge , you idiot , i 'm still waiting on those forms . what 's she doing in here ? now ? can i at least put my shoes on ?

[ smooches ] where does she get off talking to people like that ? melanie : i do n't know , but like i said , you and i have been friends for a very , very long time . and unlike theresa , i would never do something intentionally to hurt somebody . the only reason i took that vial is because i 'm trying to protect somebody . who ? melanie : i ca n't tell you that . and i ca n't tell you anything else , but you have to trust me . and if you know me as well as i think you do , you 'll know that i 'm telling you the truth .

[ scoffs ] marlena : it must have been very hard for you . jennifer : i 'm dealing with it . it 's hard to accept the fact that jack may never be the same man that i knew and loved , so , it 's -- it 's not easy right now . marlena : if you ever wan na talk ... jennifer : thank you . i 'll keep it in mind . marlena : i 'm gon na excuse myself . i wan na go and check on will . jennifer : oh , will you send him my love please ? eric : yeah , mine too . marlena : i will . of course , i will . jennifer : thank you . marlena : and you , of course . please reconsider what i said . eric : thank you for caring , but no . my mind 's made up . marlena : oof . love you . eric : love you . jennifer : bye , marlena . eric : sit . jennifer : yeah , thanks . eric : [ sighs ] jennifer : um , what was that about ? eric : nothing important . jennifer : i know a couple of days ago , you told me that you were having a hard time letting go of something that you could n't have . i mean , is that what that nothing is about ? eric : jennifer -- jennifer : i mean , i did n't push because i knew that maybe you were n't ready to talk about it -- eric : and i am now ? jennifer : well , i know you pretty well , and i think i know what you 're talking about . it 's sarah , is n't it ? sarah : you wan na set a date today ? i just told you yesterday that i 'd marry you . rex : yeah , we were thinking about dates last fall . sarah : [ laughing ] well , a lot has happened since then . rex : i know . it was all my fault . i messed everything up . sarah : i did n't say that . rex : all right , well , we 're back together again . why not make it official ? sarah : i guess no -- no reason not to . um , what about next summer ? rex : this june ? sarah : [ laughing ] i was thinking june 2020 . rex : no , but i 'm sorry , but i love you too much . we ca n't wait that long . well , come on . we worked everything out . let 's do this . sarah : [ sighs ] okay . um ... when are you thinking ? rex : carpe diem . sarah : and what day are we seizing ? rex : today . sarah : [ gags ] [ coughs ] humira patients , you inspire us . sonny : no , i 'm still not into uncle vic 's curses . but i do have to admit . i was a little freaked out when leo said that he was laying one of the curses on you . will : i was freaked out too , but then i realized it was just a glare . sonny : a malevolent glare , which is the definition of the evil eye . i looked it up . will : if that 's the evil eye , then i get that about ten times a day as a reporter . sonny : yeah , but , like , you know , you passed out when you got it from leo . will : eh , i mean , it 's a coincidence . sonny : [ sighs ] just put the necklace on , okay ? will : the necklace broke , remember ? and rex still let me come home . sonny : with an elevated white blood count . will : yeah , which could be caused by emotional stress , you know , physical stress . leo was stress in tight pants , but he 's gone now . sonny : [ sighs ] you 're right . you are , okay , but it ca n't hurt to just have a good luck charm , okay ? will : i guess not if it 's a present from you . sonny : turn around . let me see . claire : all right . my phone is off . haley : you know , claire , you were right . we should 've told you what was going on . i 'm so sorry . tripp : me too . claire : it 's okay . tripp : uh , actually , i have to go get my tux . claire : tux ? tripp : it 's got ta look real , right ? claire : okay . [ door slams ] haley : if it means anything , i wish tripp and i did n't have to do this . claire : it 's okay . it must be hard on you too -- and jj . haley : jj is fine with it , you know ? he and i were never a thing . he was there for me when i was going through a really hard time . i 'll never forget it , but ... [ laughs softly ] that 's all it was . claire : are you sure ? 'cause it looked like more than that when he was over here . haley : if there was something between us , there is n't anymore . jj told his father that i am undocumented , and that 's why this whole mess happened . i understand why he did it . i do , but i just -- i do n't think i 'll ever be able to forgive him . jj : look , do you know what all this is doing to mom ? do you even give a damn ? jack : she seemed fine yesterday when she was giving me hell . jj : because you 're marrying the woman who 's been out to get mom since they were in high school . you 're breaking her heart , man . jack : jennifer hates eve . i know that , but a broken heart -- she 's too tough a cookie . jj : okay , i 'm gon na tell you the truth . look , mom will kill me , but i guess i need to say it . jack : what ? what truth ? jj : dad , she 's putting this tough cookie thing on . inside , she 's a mess , okay ? she always thinks that she 's gon na keep it together and take care of everybody else , but you know what ? i 've decided that i 'm gon na take care of her . jack : how ? jj : by trying to get through to your thick head , man , that marrying eve is the worst thing that you could do to yourself , and it will destroy mom . jack : because she hates eve ? jj : 'cause she still loves you , you moron ! jennifer : i have eyes , and i just noticed that you and sarah have been spending a lot of time together since she came back . eric : i mean , we were both going through bad times . that 's all i 'm gon na say about it . jennifer : okay . but if you do wan na talk anymore , i 'm here for you . eric : thank you -- same goes for you , if you ever wan na talk to me about jack and eve . it 's ridiculous . jennifer : you think it 's ridiculous ? eric : jack does n't love her as much as i ca n't believe she loves him . it 's got ta be for some publicity stunt . jennifer : yes , that 's what i think . eric : so , you gon na do anything about it ? jennifer : eric , eve has convinced jack that i am a cold - hearted , judgmental , lying witch , and he believes it , so what am i supposed to do ? eric : you ca n't give up . jennifer : why ca n't i ? you gave up on sarah . eric : jennifer , like i -- jennifer : no , i know . you do n't wan na talk about it . i 'm sorry , but what i said is true . eric : not to me . what sarah has with rex is real , and what jack has with eve is not . the only reason that eve is marrying jack is because she wants revenge on you . jennifer : i know . she blames me for her breakup with brady . eric : it 's just ridiculous , so do n't let her do the same thing to you either . jennifer : okay , what am i supposed to do ? eric : stop the wedding . so there you are with your depression jennifer : stop jack 's wedding ? great idea . eric : right ? well , come on . i mean , it happens all the time in this little town . jennifer : it does , but -- it does . jack stopped one of my weddings once . eric : what ? i do n't remember that . jennifer : he did . i was -- i was so in love with jack , but i was about to marry this man , emilio , and ... eric : why ? jennifer : because jack was being jack , and he could n't tell me how he felt about me , but then he felt like he had to do something , so he waited till the very last minute , and i mean the very last minute ... [ laughs ] eric : yet he stopped it -- like , what , he crashed the wedding ? jennifer : no , it was more complicated than that . i mean , he set the place on fire ... eric : what ? jennifer : well , i mean , not really on fire . he somehow made it smoky and then walked in dressed like a fireman and oxygen mask on , threw me over his shoulder , and ... i 've never been kidnapped on a fire truck before , or since . eric : now that sounds like jack 's style . jennifer : yeah . too bad he 's not the same man anymore . eric : and why i know you 're the same woman . i know you can do this . jennifer : you 're joking . eric : no , i 'm serious . just -- just think about it , okay ? sarah : [ coughs ] rex : deep , deep breaths . honey , are you okay ? sarah : mm - hmm , deep breaths . rex : okay , i really admit . i sprung that whole , `` let 's get married today `` thing on you . sarah : kind of ... [ coughs ] rex : yeah . so , thoughts ? sarah : [ sighs ] what about work ? rex : we could go to the courthouse on our lunch hour . sarah : [ laughs ] what 's the rush ? rex : i would 've been married to you months ago if i was n't such an ass . sarah : that 's true , but ... rex : but what ? sarah : do n't you read the news ? jack deveraux and his nephew are having dueling weddings today -- we 'll get lost in the shuffle . rex : that 's a really good point . sarah : and i really want a real wedding . and my mom will kill me if she 's not a part of the planning . rex : are you serious ? if you call off our engagement tomorrow , your mother would be the dj of her own party . sarah : rex -- rex : listen , i am gon na work things out with your mom . i am . i do n't want her or anyone else to have any doubts about us . [ tender music ] will : grandma ? sonny : oh , sorry . we did n't know anyone was there . marlena : oh ... [ laughs ] i 'm so sorry to interrupt . it 's just so good to see you together and happy . will : ah , you look great . sonny : you do , yeah . it looks like leo 's mom did n't try to induce you with a fatal allergic reaction , so ... marlena : [ laughs ] i 'm gon na take that as a compliment . sonny : see ? it 's working already . marlena : what 's working already ? sonny : this charm . my uncle vic and maggie gave it to me and i gave it to will until i can get him a nicer piece of jewelry -- a wedding ring . marlena : oh . there 's going to be a wedding , huh ? sonny : yeah , one that we can all be happy about . eve : wow , a tux . going all out for that made - up wedding , huh ? eve : oh , but your wedding with jack -- that 's true love , is n't it ? eve : unlike you and your intended , jack and i have been a couple for months , okay ? tripp : yeah , and the only reason you 've been a couple for months is because uncle jack has forgotten his whole life . you 're playing him like a poker hand from a stacked deck . eve : [ scoffs ] yeah , you 're one to talk . you 're making the girl that loves you watch a phony wedding to another woman so she can get her -- what , green card ? have you any idea how much this is hurting claire through all this , huh ? do you even care ? tripp : and how the hell do you know so much about what claire is feeling ? jack : i may no memories from amnesia , but i have my powers of observation and i sense no love from your mother . but even if we had something , and there was , why would you want us together ? you claim that you hate my guts . jj : oh , i never said that i want you back together . she deserves way better than you -- better than the you you are now , anyway . jack : so , why should n't i marry eve ? jj : because she 's a bad person who 's done disgusting things to the people i really care about . jack : but you and everyone in your mother 's circle say i 'm a bad person too , so maybe eve and i are meant to be together . jj : you were n't always bad . look , if you can just remember the guy you were with me , and mom , and abigail -- jack : i 'm so sick of saying `` i 'm sorry , i can't. `` i can't . kid , that ship has sailed . eve and i are getting married . but i -- you 're here . i appreciate that so much . you are here . and i hate it -- i hate it that you and i are enemies . jj : yeah ? jack : i -- is there something , is there some way that we could work through this ? jj : is there ? you know , i don't ... how ? jack : something . i do n't know . just , uh , just meet me halfway , and i will do the same for you . jj : meet you halfway with what ? jack : just ... come to my wedding -- better yet , be my best man . eve : i do n't know what claire feels now . i just know her from the magazine . but i do see how she looks at you . and i know that she 's a lot more fragile than she wants people to believe -- and needy . tripp : i know that . eve : well then , you got ta know that it 's killing her to be dumped because `` you just happened to fall in love at first sight `` with haley , even if you are lying through your teeth , which you are . tripp : look , claire and i have broken up . eve : mm - hmm . tripp : it happens . and i thought it was better to be honest with her . eve : [ scoffs softly ] really ? the only person you 're being honest with is haley , and i 'm sure she does n't have any grand illusion that it is a perfect match . yeah , you probably think that you 're doing the right thing -- a good thing , do n't you ? well , i 'm telling you . you 're not . marrying an american citizen does n't automatically guarantee haley her paperwork , okay ? yeah , you need to read up on that , college boy . you could go through all this and haley could still be deported , and then what ? you will have hurt claire for absolutely nothing , all because you just could n't help yourself . you just had to play hero . tripp : that 's not why i 'm doing this . eve : really ? it 's not ? yeah , you go ahead . you judge jack and me all you want , but for my money , the real bad person here is you . claire : now , are you sure that you do n't want me to do smoky eye ? haley : not if i wan na look as sneaky as eve says i am . claire : [ laughs ] haley : but , now , thank you for doing my makeup . claire : oh , really , it 's no problem at all . haley : i do n't know if this helps , but i really -- i feel terrible about what this is doing to you . claire : oh , haley . do n't you worry . i am gon na be just fine . [ gasps ] oh , here we go . sweetie , you 're gon na look so good . haley : oh , i 'm excited to see it . are you almost done ? claire : [ laughs ] oh , no , no , no . i am just getting started . jj : [ laughs softly ] only you would have the nerve to ask me to ... [ scoffs ] be your best man at your wedding to eve . jack : you 're my only son , right ? jj : [ scoffs ] as far as i know . but i 'm already booked for another wedding . i 'm tripp 's best man . jack : [ laughs softly ] why would you wan na waste your time and your best suit on a wedding that 's not even real ? both : [ chuckle ] jj : your wedding 's real ? jack : eve gets me . we 're good together . jj : i get that you 're a lost cause . and i 'm sorry i wasted my time trying to talk sense into you . go ahead . marry eve . it 's not going to get you anywhere . and haley is going to stay in this country . and you are going to lose the election . and all you have left is a marriage to a real bitch when you had the chance to win back the best woman in the world . so , you do what you want . it 's your life . you do whatever the hell you want with it ... [ scoffs ] [ door clicks ] jennifer : i mean , i could n't possibly try to stop jack 's wedding . eric : what -- sure you could . i 'll help you . jennifer : really ? i mean , but even if i were to consider that , it does n't mean that jack and i would be getting back together . eric : true -- jennifer : but it would keep him from making a horrible mistake with eve . eric : right , and have n't you and jj already tried reasoning with jack ? jennifer : yes , till we 're blue in the face . eric : perfect . well , it seems worth every effort to keep him away from eve . jennifer : why are you doing this ? eric : 'cause that 's what friends do for each other . and i know that i -- i hurt you when i went after nicole . jennifer : you had no other choice . it was an awful situation . eric : and i never wan na see you hurt like that again . and anything i can do to keep that from happening is worth it to me . besides , it 'll help me keep my promise off my chest . i mean ... jennifer : [ laughs ] eric : that 's what friends do . they care about each other , jennifer : yeah , i guess so . eric : so , what do you say ? i mean , it would be kind of fun . jennifer : maybe , maybe . eric : and , you know , it has been a very long time since i had any fun , and i think i know exactly how we can do it . are you in ?

[ soft music ] jennifer : justin . justin : morning . jennifer : hey . have you been here all night ? justin : [ sighs ] i did n't want to leave kayla . she 's so worried about steve . [ somber music ] sarah : what if the only way to keep the chip from self - destructing is if we cut it off from the power supply ? kayla : that means cutting into his brain . which means all of his memories , his kids , our life together -- everything will be wiped out . [ rapid beeping ] or it could save his life . 30 seconds . kayla : okay , it 's coming out . ten seconds . [ object clinks down ] kayla : [ sighs ] there . i knew it was a huge risk , but i did n't see any other way . please come back to us . hi . jack : kayla , um ... any change ? kayla : no . he has n't regained consciousness . jack : what does that mean ? kayla : i do n't know what it means , jack . he should have woken up by now . xander : sarah , what are you doing ? you have to get dressed . justin will be here any moment to marry us . sarah : forget it . i ca n't marry you . xander : why not ? sarah : you know the answer to that . xander : [ shouts ] sarah . sarah , where are you ? nicole : hey . oh , you do n't look like you got any sleep at all . eric : no , i couldn't . just kept going over and over in my mind , how would i tell sarah that mickey is n't our child ? how would she react to it ? nicole : i wish there was something i could do to make things easier for you . eric : i should have told sarah the truth about it last night , but she needs to know that xander has been deceiving her about mickey . she has to know the truth before she marries xander . nicole : well , the wedding 's today -- there 's not a lot of time . eric , we need to get back over there . [ knock on door ] eric : maybe that 's sarah now . male narrator : like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . [ soft orchestration ] roman : hey , son . eric : dad . roman : nicole . nicole : hey , roman . roman : i 'm sorry for dropping in without calling . eric : oh , it 's okay . what 's going on ? roman : well , i was just a little worried . i had n't heard from you since you left for new york . eric : i actually did n't end up having to go . nicole : i came back just as eric was about to leave . eric : yeah . roman : hmm . okay , so i take it everything 's okay between you two . sarah : dear xander , i 'm sorry we did n't get to wake up together on our wedding day , but there 's something i had to do before i could marry you . maggie : oh , sarah ! oh , darling . sarah : mom . maggie : when they told me i had a visitor , i was so hoping it would be you . wait a minute , this is your wedding day . should n't you be home getting ready ? sarah : well , i needed to come here first , so that you could see me in my dress . maggie : oh , sarah . so beautiful . jack : look , you 're the doctor , kayla , but it just seems to me that the kind of surgery that steve had , it would take him a while to wake up . kayla : when he wakes up -- if he wakes up -- jack : if -- what do you mean ? tell me . what ? kayla : i cut through his frontal lobe , jack . it 's the center of everything -- communication , memories , emotions . it 's steve 's entire personally . what if i botched something ? jack : oh , no . no , no . no , that 's highly unlikely . first of all , you 're a highly experienced surgeon . not only that , you watched rolf perform the same two procedures before . kayla : yeah , but i felt that something was different . why would rolf make it easy for me to destroy his idol ? and i think that i was right . jack : what do you mean ? kayla : as soon as i realized that the chip was too embedded , i decided not to proceed . jack : you stopped ? you stopped the surgery ? kayla : yes , i did , because i wanted to bring in a specialist and get their input . so i started to close steve up , and i must have nicked the microchip , because all of a sudden it started counting down . self - destruct in two minutes , in one minute . so i had to make a split- second decision , so i decided to take it out . jack : right , so what you did was downright heroic . if you 'd left that thing in , who knows what the hell could have happened ? kayla : yeah , maybe nothing would have happened . maybe nothing . maybe -- maybe rolf was just toying with me , and if had just been a little more patient , if i would have waited , maybe steve would n't be lying in this bed right now . jack : okay , listen to me . look at me , look at me , listen . kayla , you 've got to let go , all the `` what - ifs . `` this surgery was incredibly complicated , possibly without precedent . how could you or anybody else possibly say that every decision you made was the right one ? you did the best you could . kayla : but maybe my best was n't good enough . maybe i made the wrong call . i mean , what if i have damaged steve for good ? xander : morning , uncle . victor : well , there he is . xander : did you need me for something ? victor : no , i was just wondering when you 'd be getting up , getting ready to tie the knot . where 's your bride - to - be ? xander : well , when i woke up this morning , she was gone , which was alarming . then i was much relieved to find a note that she left telling me that she went to see her mom . victor : why were you relieved ? xander : eric and nicole came by last night to talk to sarah . she was asleep and i do n't know , just -- there was a urgency in their tone . victor : did they say what they wanted to talk her about ? xander : no , they made up some lame excuse , which just made me suspicious . victor : suspicious ? xander : look , i hope to hell i 'm wrong , but ... just something about their demeanor , the way they looked at me just gave me a feeling that -- victor : what feeling ? will you spit it out ? xander : i think maybe they know about the baby switch . roman : hey , look , if i 'm overstepping -- eric : no . no , dad . everything 's good between nicole and i . we had a miscommunication , but it 's all good now . roman : okay , well , just seemed , uh , you were pretty worried about why nicole went to new york . nicole : roman , i 'm fine . we 're fine . eric and i could n't be happier . roman : okay then . all right . well , no more questions . i 'm gon na head out . i 'm gon na stop by the hospital and check on steve . nicole : how 's he doing ? roman : well , last i heard , he was out of surgery . still unconscious , so it 's a waiting game . eric : well , give kayla my love . roman : i will do that . and , uh , i 'm glad you two are all right . nicole : thanks . eric : i hate keeping secrets from my dad , about mickey and all , but sarah needs to know first . and we have to tell brady and kristen the truth . nicole : and we will do it together . i am here for you , eric , every step of the way . eric ... little mickey will still be part of your life . i know it wo n't be the same , but -- eric , i 'm so sorry . i know how painful this is for you . eric : no . it 's not me that i 'm worried about . it 's sarah . how i tell that her child , our baby , the one that she loves so much , is ... is gone ? she died . i mean , how am i supposed to tell her ? how do i do it ? sarah : it 's basic black . and nicole did me a solid by rushing the delivery . do you like it ? maggie : oh , sarah . you 're gon na be the most beautiful bride . sarah : i 'm so happy . i mean , like , i never , in a million years , imagined that i 'd be marrying xander , but ... i love him so much , mom . and so does my daughter , which is the most important thing to me . maggie : he surprised us all , did n't he ? sarah : in the best ways , right ? maggie : definitely . sarah : i wish you could be at the wedding . maggie : i will be . i will be , in spirit . and you 'll just have to send me tons of pictures . sarah : ca n't we ask the warden just to let you have a few hours ? maggie : no . listen , as much as i want to be a part of your big day , i do n't deserve any special privileges . sarah : nobody would look at it like that , mom . nobody would . maggie : i would . come on . sarah , my recklessness , my driving when i was drunk ... when i think of dear adrienne , and i think about her every day , my heart aches , knowing she 'd be alive if i had n't been so damn stupid and irresponsible . and it could have been so much worse . you and my sweet granddaughter , you could have been killed too . sarah : mom . maggie : no , no . no . do n't argue with me , please . do n't say anything . i 'm where i belong . and this is where i 'm going to stay . my sweet girl . justin : thank you . jennifer : jack said that you two talked last night . justin : yeah , we did . we 've actually had a couple good conversations lately . jennifer : good . i do n't mean to pry . justin : oh , please . it 's no secret that i 'm in a bit of a precarious position right now . but jack keeps reminding me that i -- you know , not to get ahead of myself . jennifer : that 's good advice . justin : but as i told him , what kayla and i have can never compare to what she had with steve . jennifer : justin , i - i -- i 'm really so sorry . i ca n't even imagine what you 're going through right now . justin : and the worst part is , i feel really terrible because i know how selfish this sounds , but i 'm worried that if steve wakes up -- the real steve -- it will be the beginning of the end for me and kayla . jack : do n't -- do n't -- do n't do this to yourself , kayla . my god , what choice did you have but to operate on steve ? rolf refused . what were you gon na do ? leave the chip in ? there 's no way you could have accepted the status quo . kayla : no , i couldn't . i could n't tolerate for one more minute hearing that monster 's voice coming out of steve 's mouth . jack : none of us could . but it was more urgent for you than for anybody else . and you had to end the nightmare . you had to bring back the father of your children . kayla : but i could have waited , i could have consulted with a neurosurgeon before i attempted to do the procedure by myself . jack : okay , listen to me . i 'm gon na say it , i 'm gon na say it , i 'm gon na keep saying it till you finally hear it -- you did what had to be done . you did . i mean , there 's no way in hell the rest of us could have left steve the way he was . and not just for ourselves , but for him . do you think for one second that my brother would want to live like that ? that 's why you did the surgery . because you knew that steve would tell you , `` get this thing the hell out of me . regular of the risks . `` and you never would have doubted his decision . so stop doubting yours . [ huffs ] um ... you made the only choice . the only choice . all right ? so i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go fill in jennifer , and then i 'm gon na check on you later . kayla : thank you , jack . jack : thank you . thank you . kayla : i need you to wake up . seresto , seresto , seresto . victor : you say that as if it 's no big deal . what the hell is the matter with you ? xander : no big deal ? do you think i do n't consider this a big deal ? my god ! nicole and eric do know that we switched those babies . victor : well , they damn well better not know . we 're both screwed . see , i do n't see what you 're worried about . you said that nicole stopped sniffing around when she saw the results of the dna test that you tampered with . xander : that 's what i thought . and , you know what , that 's what i still think . i just had a moment of panic that clearly i should n't have shared with you , because it freaked you out . but i 'm fine , we 're fine and -- i really do believe that that blonde bitch is done playing detective once and for all . victor : she damn well better be . xander : agreed . and not just because it will be a disaster for you and me . if sarah ever finds out her baby died and that her mother was responsible ... victor : or if maggie ever finds out what she did -- just knowing that she caused adrienne 's death has traumatized her -- she 'll never be the same . what if she finds out that her driving drunk caused the death of her grandchild ? xander : they can never find out the truth . neither sarah nor maggie . it would destroy them both . eric : you -- you have been so amazing through all of this . you have supported me through mickey 's illness , and when your instincts kicked in and told you something was up with xander , you went above and beyond to find out the truth . nicole : but i 'm so sorry it turned out this way . that my investigation is gon na tear that little girl from your arms . eric : and sarah 's . i just hope we can find sarah right now and talk to her alone . sarah : as much as i hate that you 're not gon na be at the wedding , i ... [ sniffles ] i respect your wishes . and i know that you 're sharing in my joy , and it 's like you said , you 'll be there in spirit . maggie : definitely . and while i 'm here , i 'm gon na try to focus on the future . and that 's you and xander and my darling mickey . sarah : you should see the little outfit i got her for the wedding . it 's such a cute little dress . maggie : oh , wait . that reminds me , i made this in the craft room . i did n't have much here for you to borrow , and nothing blue . so this is your something new . sarah : i like the stitching . it 's beautiful . maggie : i know it 's not very much , but ... sarah : no , it 's perfect . it 's perfect , mom , i love it . and i love you so much . maggie : oh , my precious sarah . jennifer : you do n't know what 's gon na happen with steve . none of us does . but i think that we need to take jack 's advice and just stay in the moment , do n't get ahead of ourselves . i think that 's really the key right now , okay ? justin : okay . jennifer : it 's gon na be all right . justin : jack . has there been any change ? jack : no . no . and she 's having a really tough time . she 's blaming herself . she 's thinking she may have really screwed up the surgery . justin : oh , no . i 'm gon na go talk to her . jack : okay . jennifer : i feel so bad for kayla and justin right now . jack : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . if steve comes back and we all -- we want him to come back -- someone is definitely gon na get hurt . kayla : hey . justin : hey . i heard there 's been no change . kayla : his vitals are fine . it 's just ... it 's just hard to tell if there 's any brain activity . justin : jack told me that you have been beating yourself up over steve 's condition . and honey , you ca n't do that . kayla : you know , he already gave me a stern talking to . told me i could n't blame myself . justin : well , he 's right . he 's right , okay ? you did everything you could for steve . i 'm just so sorry you 're going through this . kayla : are you , justin ? or is this what you really want ? ( asaad ) since my mother got cancer from smoking , jennifer : all this time , kayla believed that steve had abandoned her and her children . i mean , 30 years together , jack . she was so amazing . she did n't let it crush her . and then she made this brave choice to move on with justin and build a home with him . and now , she is praying for the love of her life to come back . jack : and if he does -- if he does , she ca n't turn her back on him . jennifer : well , she ca n't turn her back on justin . i mean , he has been so kind and loving and supportive . justin : how can you say that ? of course , this is not what i want . steve is my brother - in - law , okay ? he 's a good man who 's been going through hell . kayla : i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i know that i suggest -- i did n't meant it . i really -- please , please forgive me . i 'm just so exhausted and i 'm so stressed , and i 'm taking it out on you , and it 's just -- it 's unfair . this whole damn thing is so unfair , i just -- justin : okay , okay , okay , okay , sweetheart . okay , i get it , okay , okay . okay . okay . i 'm sorry . okay . i understand . i do . okay ? kayla : yeah . justin : just know that i love you , and i 'm here for you . okay ? no matter what . kayla : thank you , thank you . xander : [ sighs ] i mean , sarah may not know the truth about her baby , but i do . victor : your point ? xander : it 's just ... it 's a bit unsettling to think i 'm gon na be saying my vows to her , pledging my eternal love and devotion , with this enormous secret between us . victor : oh , here we go . the softer side of xander . xander : excuse me for caring about the woman i 'm about to make my wife . victor : you know , sometimes i wish you 'd downshift to the old xander -- all muscle , no morals . a hell of a lot easier to deal with . xander : sarah made me want to be a better man . and look , i understand that you 're only involved in all of this because you want to protect maggie , but also have to protect sarah from the pain of knowing that her baby died . victor : you 've done that . now walk down the aisle and do n't look back . xander : and live with this secret forever . victor : what 's the alternative ? you tell her the truth , she loses mackenzie , and the relationship she has with her mother . and she 'll hate your lying guts with every fiber of her being . xander : i ca n't imagine my life without sarah now . victor : well , let 's hope you do n't have to . i 've lost my wife . just be happy you 'll still have yours . nicole : you can do this . sarah : eric ? nicole . nicole : sarah . sarah : what are you guys doing here ? eric : i need to talk to you . now . ta - da ! roman : hey . jack : hey . roman : any change ? jennifer : i 'm afraid not . jack : justin and kayla are both in with steve right now . [ phone rings ] roman : i 'm gon na take this and then i 'll go see kayla . okay . [ beep beep ] kayla : what 's that ? justin : my alarm . i have to go officiate sarah d anxander 's wedding . kayla : you agreed to do that ? justin : reluctantly . you know what , i 'll just tell them that they have to find somebody else . kayla : no , no , no . come on , after everything sarah 's been through , you need to be there for her . justin : you sure ? kayla : yes . i 'm sure . please , give her my best . justin : okay , i 'll be back right after the ceremony . kayla : listen , i 'm so sorry for snapping at you . justin : already forgotten . see you soon . kayla : okay . you know , if you are just taking your sweet time , and dreaming about playing the harmonica in a bar somewhere or playing pool with your friends , it 's really pretty selfish of you , you know that ? because there are a lot of people ... a lot of people who are waiting for you and are going crazy . especially me . please , please wake up . [ whispers ] please . roman : hey . how you doing , sis ? kayla : not good . not good . xander : you 're right . i should be grateful for what i have . just stop worrying and focus on how incredibly lucky i am to be marrying the woman of my dreams . speaking of , can you stick around for the wedding ? victor : last time i came to a wedding in this house , i was traumatized . walked in to find sonny marrying some grifter with a sharkskin suit . xander : well , that was about blackmail . my wedding to sarah is about love . victor : and nobody loves sarah more than maggie , and i 'm sure she 'll be heartbroken not to be here today . so my place is at her side . xander : of course . well , i should get ready . please tell maggie we miss her . victor : xander , wait . xander : yes ? victor : i know i have n't been the best uncle to you in the last few years . but you have proven to me that you are a true kiriakis . and of that , i 'm very proud . xander : that means the world me , uncle . victor : well , i appreciate the help you 've given me with sarah and maggie . and for that reason , i want you to have this . xander : is that from the old country ? victor : yes . this coin belonged to yurgos kiriakis , my father , your grandfather . he used to give one to the children that he loved on their wedding day . he would say , `` as long as you carry this , your family will carry you . `` i know if your father was here , he 'd want you to have one . xander : i do n't know what to say . thank you so much . victor : go get ready for your wedding day . sarah : all right , can whatever it is just wait ? i 'm about to get married . eric : sarah , please . it 's very important . sarah : okay , yeah , i get it . this is some sort of , like , pre - nuptial intervention . look , i know that you are not a fan of my fiancé , but eric , i love him . i love him so much . i would n't be marrying him if i did n't , so if you 're here to rip him apart -- eric : it 's not about that . nicole : wait . xander did n't tell you eric and i came by last night ? sarah : no . but i left this morning , before he was awake . eric , what is going on ? eric : it 's about mickey . sarah : is she not feeling right ? eric : no , she 's fine . but what i 'm about to say is very difficult . it 's very painful . so please understand , i prayed to god it was n't the truth . this is what 's worth protecting jack : if steve comes through this , he 's gon na have to deal with so much . he 's gon na need a really good lawyer . jennifer : what ? what for ? why would he need a lawyer ? jack : the man was on a major crime spree . i mean , assault , kidnapping , attempted murder . i mean , i do n't know what the charges for attempted mind control -- i mean , he did all these people , even chad . jennifer : wait a minute , that was n't steve . i mean , he -- there 's no way he would be held responsible for all of that . jack : i know , i 'm not saying that -- he 's as innocent as everybody else . but i mean , what if -- okay , stefano 's gone , and now , all of a sudden , rolf has to take the stand , and he 's up there , and he lies , or he takes the fifth , or he takes a cyanide pill and he pops it , and he 's -- jennifer : whoa , whoa , whoa . jack : what ? jennifer : you need to take your own advice . jack : what ? what advice ? jennifer : you are getting ahead of yourself -- way ahead . jack : right . got it . jennifer : jack . but in all seriousness , his legal issues are not what 's gon na devastate him . he 's gon na realize how much he 's missed . and that 's when he 's gon na be devastated . jack : he 's gon na realize how much he missed while he was gone . jennifer : yeah . and he 's gon na have to absorb all of that , and he 's gon na have to figure out how to get his bearings again , jack , and ... i get that . i know exactly what he 's going through right now . roman : what can i do to help ? kayla : unfortunately , there is n't anything anyone can do except pray that steve wakes up . and that my reckless decision did n't cause permanent damage . roman : whoa , reckless ? kayla , your decisions were n't reckless . you did what you had to do to bring steve back . i mean , the alternative is to let steve live like this miserable , destructive human being , ruining people 's lives and wreaking havoc over everybody in his orbit . you had no choice . kayla : i know everybody says that . and i appreciate that . i just do n't know how i am going to look in my children 's eyes or live with myself if i 'm the reason he does n't come back . maggie : victor , what are you doing here ? is everything all right ? victor : everything is fine . maggie : should n't you be at sarah and xander 's wedding ? victor : this is where i want to be . with you .

[ exhales ] okay , you know what ? here 's the problem . she has n't broken any laws , right ? i mean , so there 's -- there 's really nothing i can do here . rafe : nothin ' ? daniel : well , nothing that depends on chloe acting like a rational person , because if i just ask her why she did this , i 'm just gon na get a bunch of crap , a bunch of lies , and ... rafe : well , listen , i wish that i had something else to tell you , okay ? but , uh , that 's it . daniel : yeah . well , thank you . at least i may not know what really happened , and i - i - i will find out why . but , man , i - i just -- i do n't -- i do n't know where to start . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] chloe : so apparently , the pot came all the way across town to call the kettle black . nicole : oh , come on , chloe . it 's me . i know your tricks better than you do . what did you do ? chloe : nothing . look , i 'm not gon na pretend i 'm not happy that jennifer dumped daniel , but i had nothing to do with it . nicole : bull . i 've gone toe - to - toe with jennifer , and you wan na know what i 've learned ? she 's a lot tougher than you think , and she loves daniel . and she would n't give up on him for no good reason , so i ask you again , what did you do ? chloe : you know , it 's really sad you come all the way over here out of the blue , calling me a liar , getting all worked up , when we both know why you 're so angry . nicole : because you 're hurting someone i care about ? chloe : no . because you 're jealous . [ scene_break ] gabi : um , kate says the papers are a formality in case something happens to me ... nick : what ? gabi : and that it would make it official that will would be a part of arianna 's life . nick : that 's not the only thing this makes official , is it , kate ? kate : well , there are a few other minor things in there , nick . nick : okay , see , i do n't think it 's minor that will would get the baby every other holiday . gabi : what ? kate : really ? i - i do n't remember seeing that in there . nick : really ? because , yeah , you would never try to slip something like that past gabi , would you ? kate : no , i would n't . nick : okay . well , then , one has to ask the question , who put you up to this ? was it will or his mother ? kate : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] laura : honey , please tell me what 's wrong . jennifer : you know , mom , it 's not this huge deal . laura : jennifer . jennifer : i just need to sort some things out , that 's all . laura : okay , you 're telling me that it 's no big deal , and you just have to sort things out , but you 're not telling me what it is . or is it a him ? honey , is it this doctor that you 've been seeing ? i mean , did the two of you have a fight ? jennifer : uh , yeah . we had ... we had worse than a fight . and i feel like my heart is literally breaking . [ scene_break ] nicole : i 'm jealous ? chloe : yeah . you 're jealous because you 're still in love with daniel , and you never got over him . after everything you did , he still chose jennifer . and now that he 's free , you 're upset that i 'm gon na get back together with him , and once again , that you 're gon na be left out in the cold , alone , and still in a convent . nicole : you 're right . i 'm a jealous , neurotic mess in a convent . but it still does n't change what you did . you broke up jennifer and daniel because you want him back . and -- and you do n't care that you 're making him miserable . chloe : well , he wo n't be miserable after he has his own little family , something that you can never give him . nicole : do you have any idea what a horrible thing that is to say to me ? how hurtful it is ? do you even care that you 've sunk so low ? chloe : i think you should go . nicole : so what are you gon na do if this thing with daniel does n't work out ? are you gon na trade parker in for a used car or something useful ? because all you 're doing is exploiting him . and that is not how a mother acts . chloe : well , you would n't know , would you ? nicole : actually , i would . chloe : okay , fine . so you 're good , and i 'm bad . you know what ? if you insist on stirring up trouble , why do n't you stick around until daniel gets here ? and then the three of us can discuss your little theory . but frankly , i think he 's gon na see the truth , that sadly you are still obsessed with him . nicole : have a nice life , chloe . [ scene_break ] daniel : okay , look , i really , really appreciate your help , rafe . rafe : yeah , yeah . do me a favor and keep that fax under your hat . i broke a few rules to get it . daniel : okay , right on . i gotcha . rafe : good . hey , hey . [ mutters indistinctly ] you hang in there , okay ? daniel : i will , i will . i mean , look at him , right ? anything for him . anything . rafe : okay . daniel : okay . so how was rio ? good ? [ cell phone rings ] daniel : hello ? nicole : daniel , it 's nicole . i need to talk to you . daniel : uh , nicole , this is n't the time . nicole : i - it -- it ca n't wait . it 's about chloe . [ scene_break ] kate : i am not put up to things , nick , not by sami , not by will . all i 'm trying to do is look out for the best interests of my grandson . gabi : well , i do n't think that it 's right for you to try to slip something like that past me . kate : sweetie , if you do n't agree with what 's in that paragraph , we 'll just strike it right out . gabi : look , i just -- i felt like i could trust you , and you told me that there was nothing to worry about . kate : there 's nothing to worry about . there 's nothing to worry about as long as you hold up your end of the bargain and allow will to have time with his baby . gabi : i will , but i just do n't think i have to sign a contract just because you tell me to sign it . and it feels like you 're the one that does n't trust me . kate : no , that 's not true . i do trust you , and i think you intend to do the right thing . the one i 'm worried about is nick , whether your husband 's going to allow that . rafe : allow what ? [ scene_break ] ej : you sure i ca n't get you a drink ? sonny : yeah , positive . ej : [ chuckles ] man of principles , huh ? man of standards . sonny : some . ej : you do n't like talking to me , do you ? in this house . sonny : no , not really . ej : [ sighs ] well , i 'm glad you did . it gives us an opportunity to continue the conversation that we started a few days ago . i assume that 's why you 're here . you wanted to talk about helping william . sonny : in that conversation , you did talk about helping will , but you also talked about squashing nick fallon like a bug . ej : that bothers you , does it ? sonny : it bothers me that i want to . and without going over the extensive list of reasons , i have never detested anyone like i detest him . ej : oh , you do n't need to go over a list of reasons . when nick pulled that blackmail stunt in the hospital , that was enough to put him firmly in my crosshairs . oh , you have a moral dilemma . there 's a part of you that really wants to help william , and there is a part of you that is worried . you 're worried that your motivations are to get back at nick . sonny : i just do n't think it 's a good idea to enjoy hurting someone . ej : why ? we 're human , right ? i mean , is there something wrong with being human ? look , sonny ... [ clears throat ] whatever happens to nick fallon is what he deserves . now , i gave him fair warning . all you 're trying to do is help somebody you love , and i know you love william very much , right ? how could that possibly not be a good thing ? sonny : you just ... [ sighs ] you just do n't know what all this is doing to him . the reason i came here is because i wan na help , and i know how . nick and gabi are staying at my uncle victor 's house . you ca n't exactly drop in . but i can . and i wan na go in nick 's room and check it out . i do wan na help squash him like a bug . ej : good man . good man . [ scene_break ] sami : you seem very quiet . will : oh , i 'm just thinking . um , you know , you just moved into the mansion , and you kinda seem different already . sami : will , i am doing it for you . will : oh , i know , i know . um , why is ej doing it , though ? and why does -- why did he move you into that house ? sami : he wants to help you . will : i 'm sure that 's what he wants it to look like . but you really think that 's his only motive ? sami : obviously you do n't . will : no , i do n't . i think there 's something definitely going on . sami : like what ? [ scene_break ] laura : so you ended it ? honey , your heart 's breaking . i mean , the obvious question is , why would you do that ? jennifer : [ sighs ] laura : every email that i 've gotten from abigail , she 's been so happy about you and -- and ... jennifer : daniel . his name is daniel , and it 's -- it 's just -- it 's complicated . laura : so it would seem . i mean , why else would you dump a guy who seems to make you very happy ? jennifer : i did n't want to break up with him . laura : all right . so once again , why did you ? jennifer : because i had to . [ scene_break ] daniel : are you sure sister annabel does n't mind watching parker ? nicole : she 's thrilled . she loves kids . daniel : okay . so what -- what -- what 's going on ? nicole : first of all , i -- i heard that you and jennifer broke up , and i just want you to know i 'm really , really sorry . daniel : okay , i really do n't wan na talk about that , especially with -- nicole : okay . daniel : okay . nicole : i can see that . daniel : yeah . so -- so now , what is this about chloe ? nicole : okay , i 'll get to chloe in a second . i -- first , we really need to talk about j -- um , i need to talk to you about jennifer . i did n't -- i did n't want to believe this . in fact , i drove myself crazy trying not to believe it , but i see it now . i see that -- that you and jennifer belong together . she makes you happy , and that is all i 've ever wanted for you . you deserve that . daniel : well , that could n't have been easy for you to say . but really , it 's a moot point 'cause jennifer and i , we 're over . it 's -- it 's -- no , no , if you do n't believe me , trust me . you go ask her . nicole : i did n't just hear that you and jennifer broke up . it 's how you broke up . publicly in the hospital ? she said terrible things to you ? daniel : okay , really , nicole ? i -- i was there , i remember . nicole : i know , but did n't it seem a little un - jennifer to you ? daniel : all right , look , this has just been a really , really strange , rough day . could you please , please just tell me what you have to say about chloe ? [ scene_break ] will : well , we are talking about ej , and , um , i do n't know what he 's up to , but i do think that he 's up to something . sami : why all of a sudden does it sound like you are not happy about me and ej being together ? will : i am , i n -- i never said that . um , if i did say that , i could certainly draw on some personal history to back it up . sami : ej and i have changed . will : yeah , do you think maybe he 's just making you think that he 's changed ? sami : now you are delving into my very , very personal ... will : yeah . sami : life . will : yeah , we never do that . that 's not how we roll . sami : [ chuckles ] i hate it when you make a good point . will : listen , um ... i was at the mansion , and stefano came in , and i saw this weird ... look on ej 's face , and i ca n't put my finger on it , but i know that there is something else going on . [ scene_break ] kate : we were just talking about will and his relationship to the baby , you know , after she 's born . rafe : oh , yeah ? kate : you know . and what a positive thing it 's going to be , not just for will , but really for gabi and nick too . nick : hmm . kate : yeah . you know , i think in the midst of everything , you 've forgotten that you 're newlyweds , and newlyweds really do need time together alone . you know , and now you 're going to be able to go out , and you can leave arianna with will and with sonny . you could even take that long - delayed honeymoon , and you 'll be leaving the baby with -- with two people who really love her completely and will take such good care of her . nick : wow , that 's -- that 's amazing . she 's -- she 's always thinking of others . really amazing . rafe : you have a problem with that ? nick : it 's not my place to have problems . i am 100 % fine with all custody decisions that gabi makes , and i support her 100 % . rafe : okay . then what 's the problem ? nick : the problem is that kate is trying to force gabi into signing this . that 's the problem . rafe : what -- what 's this ? kate : it 's really -- it 's really nothing , and it 's really not important and -- rafe : the hell it is n't . [ scene_break ] laura : okay , so i guess i could try to guess why you feel you had to break up with daniel . it 's jack , is n't it ? honey , i mean , do you feel like you 're betraying his memory by moving on ? jennifer : yeah . yeah , that 's it . laura : jack 's gone . and you clearly have very strong feelings for this daniel . jennifer : yeah , i - i do . i have some feelings , you know , but he could never replace jack . laura : oh , honey , of course not . but that does n't mean you have to kick him out of your life . god knows jack had his flaws . but when it came to loving you , he was pretty selfless . he would never want you to spend the rest of your life mourning him , and he would never want you to use him as an excuse for not being happy . jennifer : yeah , i - i know that . i just -- i ca n't talk about it . laura : okay . i 'm gon na get us more tea . but i 'd like you to think about what i said . jennifer : okay . i did use jack as an excuse , but not the way you think . [ sniffles ] god , i used him to hurt daniel , and i hate that i did that . [ scene_break ] nicole : okay , um , about chloe . remember the day we ran into each other at the town square , and you told me you and jennifer got back together ? daniel : okay , this still is n't about chloe . nicole : let me finish . what i did n't tell you was that chloe said she was never giving up on you , and i got the distinct feeling that she had some kind of plan . daniel : go on . nicole : when i heard jennifer broke up with you -- how she broke up with you , an alarm went off in my head . daniel : so ? nicole : so i went to talk to chloe . i just talked to her . and i ca n't prove it , daniel , but i know she made jennifer break up with you . [ scene_break ] rafe : really ? i ca n't believe that you did this behind my back . did you have this drawn up when we were -- kate : do n't you think that perhaps we should talk about this privately ? nick : okay , how about privately and someplace else ? am i the only person that notices that this is pretty upsetting for gabi ? kate : oh , gabi , if i 've upset you , i 'm so sorry . all i was trying to do was -- rafe : i think we all know what you were trying to do . nick : yeah . rafe : let 's talk about this in private . nick : you all right ? gabi : i 'm fine . i 'm just kinda hurt , you know ? i thought i could -- i could trust kate . nick : i know . here 's the only person you can trust in all this . it 's me . [ scene_break ] chloe : so anne talked to a nurse at the hospital who saw jennifer horton at the airport . apparently , she 's left town . nancy : w -- did she know where she was going ? do they know how long she 's gon na be gone ? chloe : who cares ? she 's gone . that 's all that matters , which makes this seem like a really good time to go spend some time with my boys . nancy : chloe , daniel has already asked you twice to let him have some alone time with his son . please , do n't be so pushy . chloe : pushy ? nancy : honey , you are so close to getting everything you wanted . please do n't blow it now . chloe : mother , you are such a worrywart . [ scene_break ] nicole : daniel , did you hear what i said ? daniel : oh , i heard what you said , all right . nicole : i told you i ca n't prove it . i do n't even have a clue of exactly what she did , but underneath all that denial , there was a little smirk . daniel : was there now ? [ phone rings ] nicole : uh ... hello , father eric brady 's office . yes , yes . i 'll do that right now . um , i 'm sorry . i have to go sign for this package . i 'll be right back . daniel : okay , yeah , you , uh , you take your time . because i - i have got a lot to think about . like wiping the smirk off your face , chloe . okay , just take it easy . just take it e -- just figure it out . just figure out what she did . okay , what could she do to get jennifer to go along with her ? what could she use ? annabel : i 'm sorry , doctor . he wanted to see his daddy . daniel : oh , my god . annabel : what 's wrong ? daniel : hey . she used him . she used my son . [ scene_break ] gabi : nick , are you sure that you 're okay with , you know , me wanting will to be a part of this baby 's life ? nick : that 's your decision . completely your decision . but are n't you tired , gabi ? of all of them pushing and pushing and pushing you ? i mean , yeah , will and his mom could n't get you to put his name on the birth certificate , so they sent in kate . gabi : she said that they did n't do that . nick : yeah , well , she also said that she did n't read the contract . i 've negotiated with kate . not only did she read it , she had it memorized . she 's out to con you , babe . they all are . gabi : i 'm so tired . nick : i know . me too . but that 's what they 're counting on . they wan na beat you down until you say , `` fine , put his name on the birth certificate , just so we can end all this . `` that is the just the beginning . it 's the first step toward getting will full custody of your baby . and in your heart , i think you know that . [ scene_break ] kate : you know , i ca n't even keep up with you . rafe : no , no , no . i ca n't keep up with you . oh , you 're good . you are good , i 'll give you that . i mean , we spent last night together , and this morning , we were having a great time . all the while you had this in your purse , did n't you ? kate : no , no , no . i had those drawn up this morning . rafe : oh , well , even better . and for the record , my sister has every right to spend every freaking holiday with her kid . and you did n't even have the decency to tell her that she was gon na be signing that right away with this ? kate : your precious sister is married to a sociopath who wants to keep my grandson away from his own baby , rafe . rafe : we do not know that that is the case . kate : okay , all right . so what , are we just gon na take his word on it ? rafe : yeah . kate : do you remember how he looked after melanie ? your sister needs to sign those papers . rafe : no . no way . [ scene_break ] will : hey . sonny : hey . will : what 's up ? i thought you were working today . sonny : uh , yeah . i just had something to take care of . will : something ? that 's specific . sonny : okay , i 'll be specific . i went to talk to ej . [ scene_break ] ej : did you know that gabi has moved into the kiriakis mansion with nick ? sami : damn it . that complicates things . ej : mm - hmm . sami : how did you find out ? ej : sonny told me . he offered to help , actually . sami : he did ? sonny showed up here and volunteered to help in any way he could ? ej : what do you mean ? sami : just wondering if you gave him the idea . ej : well , no , i - i talked to him earlier , you know , about what nick was doing to william . sami : you 're good at that . you are so good . ej : at what ? sami : at getting people to do what you want them to do and making them think it 's their idea , that it somehow benefits them . ej : what exactly is your point ? sami : it 's not a point . it 's a question . ej , what is the real reason that you wanted us to move back here ? [ scene_break ] nicole : hey , parker . sorry . i -- daniel : no , it 's all right . um ... we were just heading out , were n't we ? yes , we were . nicole : listen , daniel , um , you know the thing i said about chloe , i know it must sound crazy , but can you just think about it ? daniel : you know what , nicole , it 's not crazy . it 's the truth . nicole : you believe me ? daniel : and i really , really appreciate you looking out for me . both of us . right ? so thank you . nicole : um , daniel ? now that you know that chloe did ... something , what are you gon na do ? [ scene_break ] kate : i ca n't believe you 're defending nick . he is blackmailing will , rafe . rafe : no one is trying to keep will from the baby . okay ? now , obviously , there 's a strong argument for putting sami back in her cage . she 's the one who sent gabi to the hospital . obviously nick had to do something . kate : really ? rafe : yeah . kate : so that -- that 's what this is about ? this is about sami ? rafe : no . kate : okay . all right . because you know that i do n't have warm and fuzzy feelings for sami , and even i know that she would never hurt the baby . rafe : uh - huh . kate : so i think maybe you 're feeling she needs to be put back in her cage because she dumped you and went back to ej . rafe : wow . ah , so , uh , well , obviously you just said something you really should n't have said because you 're upset . and for the sake of us ever talking again , i 'm just gon na consider this conversation over . [ scene_break ] will : oh , you know , i would really rather you not get involved in this . sonny : what if something bad happened to me ? all right , how would you feel if i just told you to step back and watch ? will : yeah , but your folks are gon na freakin ' flip out , man , if they find out that you are involving yourself with ej dimera . sonny : okay , well , here 's a thought . i do n't have to tell 'em . will : you know , i 'm just saying , if you get caught -- sonny : then i 'll tell 'em why i did it . i 'm doing this because i love you . will : okay . [ scene_break ] ej : you know exactly why we moved in here . we moved in here to help will . sami : i know that that is the stated reason . and , yes , i thought it was a good idea . i thought will and i did stand to benefit from me living here . but now i 'm wondering about you . what was your reason ? did you wan na be with your family ? your father ? is that what you wanted all along ? or at least since -- ej : since ? sami : okay , fine . i will cut to the chase . have you forgotten to tell me something ? like the fact that you have decided to forgive your father for everything that he has done to you ? [ scene_break ] jennifer : you 're right about jack . you 're right about everything . and i ca n't -- i ca n't do this anymore . [ sniffles ] i just -- i need to call daniel . i need to call him right now .

[ scene_break ] e.j . : well , lucas , you 've certainly been busy . bored at work , are we ? lucas : no , actually , i kind of find this stuff fascinating . e.j . : really ? well , judging from these ancient figures you 've dredged up , it 's clear i 'm not giving you enough to do . tell me , these numbers , are they supposed to mean something to me ? lucas : well , these ancient figures are the ones that you proposed to the stockholders december of ' 06 . and the profits were a bit inflated , and the net loss suggested otherwise . so , i do n't know . it kind of seems like fraud to me . e.j . : so , tell me , lucas , what exactly are we doing here , hmm ? i give you a job on a silver platter . you have great pay . you have great benefits . i put up with your constant rudeness , your constant accusations there is something going on between samantha and myself . lucas : yeah , yeah , i was shocked . my mom was shocked , too , when she found out . e.j . : your mother . you told kate about this . lucas : oh , yeah . she is your partner , is n't she ? e.j . : indeed . i 'm assuming this would explain why billie was a little curt with me earlier . lucas : oh , yeah , yeah . we keep it all in the family around here . you 're a dimera . you should know something about that . e.j . : i 'm sorry to burst your bubble , lucas , but your smoking gun is n't even loaded . even if you were to tell the sec what you discovered , they would slap my wrist , give me a little fine -- nothing that i could not afford . lucas : yeah , but once the stockholders caught wind of that , your credibility would be at stake . they 'd pull their stock , and , well , you 'd go bankrupt , kind of like enron , right ? e.j . : well , with one exception . yourself , your mother , your sister , and your fiancé -- you 'll all be out of a job . so , let 's cut to the chase , shall we , lucas ? what exactly is it that you want from me ? [ scene_break ] steve : i 'm not here to prove anything . kayla : then what are you doing here ? why do you care ? steve : i think a better question would be , why do you care ? i do nothing but hurt you . you fight for me . you fought and convinced that judge to let me do my time in the mental hospital instead of in prison . listen , i 'm just trying to watch your back the way you did for me . kayla : then go to bo and roman and tell them that e.j . forced you to kidnap john . steve : that bastard does not control me . tonight i 'm gon na prove that . kayla : what are you gon na do ? steve : never mind . kayla : steve , listen , i am begging you . just go back to the hospital . just go back . steve : i 'll check on you later . kayla : steve .

[ scene_break ] e.j . : so , is this the part where you tell me to pack up my bags and get out of dodge again ? lucas : no , nothing too drastic like that . just stay the hell away from sami . e.j . : ahh . or else ? lucas : or i 'll send all this stuff to the sec , and your life will be a living hell . e.j . : god , you 're tiresome , lucas . tell me something -- do you have any other songs in your repertoire ? lucas : i do n't want you to show up around here anymore . i do n't want you to call . and if i hear from sami that you show up somewhere where you 're not wanted or welcome , that 's it . you 're the one who needs to get over your sick repertoire . you 're the one obsessed with sami , and it 's got to stop . if it does n't , i 'll send those cooked books to the sec . if you do n't believe me , i 'll call my boys in d.c. , just to show you i mean business . [ scene_break ] kayla : do you realize what you 're saying ? sami : why not kill him ? this is e.j . we 're talking about . he has terrorized everyone in our family since he came to town , and he has slipped through the cops ' fingers so many times . who knows what he 'll do next ? so , why not get rid of him ? if we do n't , he 'll own us forever . kayla : honestly , i do n't care what happens to e.j . but if steve kills him , he 'll be killing himself and killing any future that we have together . i am not willing to trade that for e.j . 's skin . sami : what if he thinks of a way of doing it without getting caught ? kayla : sami , nobody gets away with murder . i am going to call bo , and i 'm gon na tell him that steve is on the loose and that it 's a matter of life or death . [ scene_break ] chelsea : why does you guys moving back here depend on me ? bo : simple . we 'd like you to move in with us . chelsea : you want me to move in here , as in this house -- your family house ? bo : yes , the family house . hope and i talked about it , and we know that you 're working on your relationship with your mom . and we kind of figured you might be more comfortable over here for a little while . plus , this is where you belong . and you 'd be doing me a big favor . chelsea : favor for what ? bo : let 's sit down . it 'd give me the time to prove to you that i 've changed just as much as you have . um ... i have n't really given you a fair shot , and i 'm sorry about that . it would give us a chance to work on this father- daughter relationship . but it wo n't be all fun and games . hope and i need a little help with the baby , so we would be putting you to work . chelsea : that 's fine . i would love to hang out with ciara . i mean , she 's my little sister , after all . bo : yes , she is . but i got to warn you , she 's already a handful . i mean , she 's going for gold with the baby - bottle toss and the food - fling thing . chelsea : i do n't care . i 'm just really , really happy . bo : good . i 'm happy , too . and there 's one more benefit for me . it 'll be good having someone around here with hope and the baby when i 'm at the office , especially somebody i trust . [ cellphone rings ] oh . excuse me . uh , sorry . i got to take this . [ scene_break ] chelsea : nick , nick , nick . did you hear what he said ? he called me someone he can trust . me . nick : that is so incredible , chelsea . i 'm really happy for you . chelsea : you do n't seem that happy . nick : no , no , i - i am . i just -- there 's still that problem with the hairbrush , you know ? i mean , the lab is gon na notice that it 's missing , and someone might start asking you questions that you do n't want to answer . [ scene_break ] bo : hey , kay . how are you feeling ? kayla : i 'm fine . listen , bo , you 've got to help me . i 'm scared to death for steve . he escaped from the hospital , and he 's going after e.j . you got to find him . bo : okay . okay . relax . take it easy . i 'll go find him . kayla : please hurry . bo : do n't worry . i 'll find him , and i 'll give you a call , okay ? hey , sorry , guys . i got to take off . [ scene_break ] chelsea : what 's going on ? bo : well , some emergency . tell you what -- you talk to your mom , find out if she 's okay with this . if she is , pack up your stuff , and i 'll help you move . chelsea : thank you , dad . this is gon na be really , really great . i promise i will not let you down . bo : i wo n't let you down , either . we 're family . we 're gon na stick together . i 'm out of here . chelsea : nick , please do n't say it . look , i know that there could still be trouble ahead , but just let me enjoy this , okay , just for a little bit . [ scene_break ] e.j . : well , maybe i misjudged you , lucas . you obviously put a great deal of thought into how you would play this game . bravo . lucas : just agree to my terms . that 's all i want , and i wo n't have to call the sec . e.j . : does n't that just sound like an offer i ca n't refuse ? what would you like me to do , get on my knees and kiss your ring ? lucas : just stay away from sami . that 'll be good enough for me . e.j . : i certainly would n't want to force the issue . the wedding is a couple of weeks away , right ? one never knows what could happen in that time . fate , you know , it 's different for all of us -- you , me , samantha . well , good night , lucas .

[ scene_break ] nick : well , i do n't want to be a drag , but we 're not out of trouble yet . chelsea : yes , we are . look , you heard my dad . he does n't think that the brush is mine . he 's set on the idea that it 's willow 's . and when it turns up missing , he 's either gon na think she caught a break or she had someone steal it for her . and he 'll never connect the dots because he has no reason to . nick : yeah . i guess . chelsea : look , the only way we 're gon na get busted is if that hairbrush turns up and they can prove that it 's mine . that wo n't happen because we tossed it , right ? nick : yeah . right . chelsea : okay , so , we 're home free . we 're in the clear . it 's all because of you .

[ scoffs ] eric : yeah . theresa : talk about bad news , right ? i mean , he was gon na operate on this guy while he was high . wow . kayla : anne , would you mind stepping out , please ? and jennifer , you might wan na do the same . i need to talk to daniel alone . daniel : no , it 's okay , kayla . it 's gon na be all over the hospital in two minutes anyway . kayla : all right . anne is right . you will be suspended while we investigate this . jennifer : okay , but that 's just hospital policy . once they find out what happened -- daniel : let 's let kayla take this one step at a time . jennifer : okay , but your reputation is as important as following rules . and a good name can be destroyed in a heartbeat and take years to get back . so if we could just be quiet about this for a little while . anne : good luck with that . kayla : you know , could you zip it , please ? daniel : it 's okay , kayla . i 'm suspended . no practicing medicine until this is -- until this is resolved . kayla : i 'm sorry . but yeah , until we get this worked out . and hopefully it 'll be soon . daniel : very soon . anne : well , i 'm gon na get back to work , doctor . oh , wait , you 're not . but hey , if you wan na put your patients at risk just so you can get high ... daniel : that 's enough ! i do n't need your damn opinion . daniel : oh , wait , wait . daniel ! daniel ! kayla : oh , oh , oh ! i gotcha , i gotcha , i gotcha ! maxine : what 's going on ? jennifer : come on . daniel : nothing , nothing at all . just got a little ... dizzy , that 's all . anne : yeah , he 's still high . maxine : dr. brady , i 'd like to get dr. dan admitted . take some more blood , get him hydrated . kayla : yeah , let 's do that . i have a few tests of my own i wan na take . and then we 're gon na get this wrapped up . anne : wait . dr. brady , if he has been abusing opiates , we ca n't know how long that 's been going on . kayla : just cut it out , anne ! let 's go . anne : i 'm just saying . eric : theresa . you 're not gon na do anyone good if you go around saying things about daniel jonas like that . theresa : we ca n't talk about what happened ? i mean , the guy was high and he tried to operate on some -- eric : okay , listen to me . there were drugs in his system , and my guess is they were put there . believe me , i know what it 's like when someone 's trying to deliberately cause you harm . so i 'm gon na go check on daniel . and then i 'm gon na go see jennifer , and i 'm gon na find nicole . it 's better that she hears this from me than anyone else . theresa : imagine the trouble you could cause for daniel and little jenny if you could get into his apartment whenever you wanted . wow . well , if it was liam frazer , that guy does not mess around . liam : you probably know colleen -- dr . weeks -- right ? i 'll bet you know a lotta people at the hospital . but , see , this is where it 's kinda delicate . um , i ca n't have it getting around that i 'm ... dropping by to see her , um ... in my line of work . well , i told you i 'm a pharmaceutical rep , did n't i ? nicole : mm ... liam : right , so i ca n't be seen showing , you know , favors to any doctors . nicole : unethical . liam : well , frowned upon . um , but the main thing is i do n't want anyone to get the wrong impression of me , or the wrong idea about dr . weeks . nicole : heaven forbid . liam : it 's just a privacy thing . i 'm sure you deal with it all the time in your line of work too , right ? yeah , protecting your sources , things like that ? you seeing me here is like me seeing you at that rest stop the other night , you know ? i got the feeling that you did n't want people to know you were there , doing whatever you were doing . am i right ? [ door opens ] kayla : okay , uh -- i , uh , sent your blood work back to the lab for a retest , and i ordered a complete tox screen . daniel : good . maxine : do n't worry , dr. dan . we 're gon na get to the bottom of this . daniel : thank you , maxine , thank you . kayla : just rest , okay ? daniel : yeah , i 'll try . thank you . kayla : we 'll talk . bye . jennifer : okay . can we please just go over one more time what you did since you got up this morning ? daniel : you mean got up feeling great ? yeah , i just -- i showered , i got dressed , and i made my protein drink , and ... jennifer : all right , but you said that you had coffee here . daniel : and i left feeling great . i did 'cause i already started -- i was feeling tired when i walked in this place . jennifer : there 's a medical investigation team . they are testing the coffee right now , and then they 're going right over to your place to see what they can find . daniel : yeah , i signed a consent form . and they are welcome to go through every drawer , every space ... whatever they want . the strongest drug i have is aspirin . you know , i 'd appreciate it if you could be there though . do you have time ... to stop ? jennifer : yes ! oh , my goodness , i 'll head over there right now . daniel : thank you . jennifer : what 's wrong ? what are you thinking ? daniel : the coffee station is just so public . anyone could have access to that . and god knows there 's been a lotta strange stuff going on here , mostly aimed at you though . so i -- jennifer : you think someone did this deliberately ? daniel : could be . jennifer : and that you were the target ? daniel : [ sighs ] it 's possible . or maybe i was just the next person to have a drink of coffee , i do n't ... jennifer : anne did seem strangely pleased . daniel : has anybody seen theresa today ? jennifer : no , i have n't seen her . but i am telling you , if someone is behind this we are gon na find out who it is , and they are not gon na get away with it . liam : i 've thought about the night i saw you at that rest stop . you seemed a little tense . maybe you were on assignment , working a story . yeah , maybe meeting a source . nicole : uh , actually i 'm on assignment right now , so i 'm probably gon na have to cut this short now . liam : oh , sure , sure . you television people are always on some kind of a deadline . nicole : yeah . [ laughs ] liam : i 'll let you get to it . nicole : okay . [ laughs nervously ] [ laughs nervously ] [ sighs ] daniel ? it 's nicole . daniel ! [ phone ringing ] nicole : eric . it 's daniel . what ? he 's sick ? julie : i 'm serious , nick ! i want you to think twice about gabi . nick : no , no ! gabi is sweet , and she 's smart , and she 's beautiful , and she 's good to me . julie : oh , yes , and she got pregnant with will 's baby . and she dragged you into all of that and then divorced you ! nick : she did n't divorce me ! all right , julie ? we got an annulment ... which was right , because i 'd been lying to her about a lotta things . julie : you were n't lying . come on , you were sick , you were scared , you thought she was your salvation . she turned into a nightmare ! nick : okay , i 'm not gon na sit here and let you twist things around and let you turn gabi into the bad guy . i 'm not gon na let you do that . all right ? gabi and i are cool now , all right ? and i think that we 're gon na be -- julie : sami ! sami , over here ! sami . i have a bone to pick with you . eric : hey , uh , nicole knows daniel 's in the hospital . she 's probably on her way . jennifer : okay . listen , there 's a medical investigation team going over to daniel 's apartment to check everything out , and daniel wanted me to be there . are you free for a little while ? could you go with me ? eric : you bet , absolutely . let 's do this . jennifer : thank you . abe : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . maxine : oh , i 'm sorry . abe : well , no harm , no foul . maxine : oh , my god , this place just goes from bad to worse . abe : daniel -- yeah , i heard . maxine : sometimes i do n't know whether to scream or cry . abe : well , look , why do n't we go get something to eat ? you can take your mind off things . maxine : no . but thanks anyway . i should stay here . kayla : no , no , you should go with abe . seriously . you have worked the night shift , and you need a break . get her outta here ! go on . abe : come on , doctor 's orders . kayla : yep , doctor 's orders . anne : get in here , get in here . so did you hear ? theresa : i did . anne : nothing makes my day more than watching jennifer horton cry , and her boyfriend trip and fall . i mean , you got ta love it , right ? dr. do - no - wrong is a drug addict ! wow ! it just warms the cockles of my heart . theresa : yeah , but anne , i do n't really think dr. dan 's a true druggie . anne : oh , my god . theresa : what ? anne : if you dropped something in his coffee and they trace it back to you , we 're gon na both come out looking pretty bad . theresa : whoa , whoa , whoa . why does everyone think that i did this ? anne : okay , yeah , whatever . that 's fine . listen , here 's the thing . people are starting to float the idea that somebody did something to him , okay ? so you better bet that jennifer is gon na be looking for suspects . we have to be very , very careful , okay ? ej : well , i think that 's all we need for today , so i will make arrangements for the video sometime later this afternoon . gabi : sure , yeah . just ... text me . oh ! i just ... i wanted to tell you that you and sami have been really great and i wanted to thank you for everything . ej : thanking us , my dear ? we should be thanking you . i mean , we obviously benefit as well . and i would like to say so i 'm very happy that you and samantha end on a warm note . i recognize she can come on a bit strong sometimes . gabi : yeah , well , i 'm used to it . she means well . ej : she does , she does . she really wants what 's best for you , gabriella . and she 's worried that nick might hurt you , that 's all . gabi : right . okay , well , it 's time to go , ari , right ? okay . bye . julie : i know that you made sure will did n't invite nick to the wedding . sami : that was will and sonny 's decision . julie : because that 's the way you operate . sami : i think it was the right one . nick : okay , okay ! let 's dial it down a little bit , ladies . i told you , sami , that i was totally fine with not being invited to the wedding . i said that . sami : if you are totally fine with it , then why is julie making such a big scene out of this ? nick : i do n't know . julie : because this little maneuver is typical of the small - minded person you 've turned out to be . if everybody turned their back on sami each time she made a mistake , ah ! sami : this is n't about me . julie : and do n't get me started on how many mistakes you have made . nick : okay , julie , come on . let 's ... let -- julie : everybody in this family -- everybody in salem -- has given sami a second chance and a third and a fourth and a fifth ! sami : no one is saying that nick does n't get his second chance . in fact , i think that nick has gotten everything he 's asked for since he came back to town . julie : he 's only gotten what he deserved . sami : [ scoffs ] and i hope someday he gets exactly what he deserves . examiner : ma'am , do you know of any medication dr. jonas might have in his medicine cabinet , maybe bedroom ? jennifer : uh , when he signed the consent form , he told me specifically that you could search anywhere and everywhere . examiner : okay , thank you . this way , guys . eric : it 's certainly logical to assume that somebody did this . jennifer : [ laughs ] eric : nobody takes pills by accident , certainly not a painkiller , especially a surgeon who 's about to operate . jennifer : yeah , somebody did this all right . eric : you have anybody in mind ? jennifer : do you know anne milbauer , human resources ? eric : yeah . jennifer : she absolutely hates my guts , and her assistant despises me . oh , theresa , your cousin . sorry to say . eric : [ sighs ] jennifer : and i do n't have any proof ... but i really feel like they 're behind something that has been intended to hurt me lately . so if they can hurt daniel , then that 's hurting me . eric : i know that theresa -- she 's made some bad choices . jennifer : [ laughing ] eric : but has she ever done anything to hurt you , like ... seriously ? jennifer : you know what , eric , it 's really complicated . i mean , for a time she was interested in daniel , and she ... [ sighs ] forget it . he just shot that idea down . eric : which had to offend her . jennifer : yeah . and then she was caught in this whole blackmail scheme . but you know what , i 'm not gon na say anything because , like i said , i have no proof . so anne and theresa may not be the answer to this whole mess , but they are definitely a question . liam : oh , hey , ms . milbauer . liam frazer . anne : i 'm kinda busy , what 's up ? liam : i 've heard people talking , rumors flying about dr. jonas . is any of it true ? anne : he was caught with dilaudid in his system , and almost started open heart surgery high as a kite . those rumors ? liam : my god , that 's ... so surprising ! dr. jonas seems like such a great guy . anne : yeah , let me tell you something about that pompous , two - faced weasel . he is nothing like the image he tries to project . maxine : i worked as a nurse most of my life , and so work sort of became my salvation . abe : i hear you . maxine : daniel made work fun . [ laughing ] he , uh , had just moved here to salem , and ... i was working double shifts whenever i could . and i met him and ... he helped me put my life back together . abe : i 'm glad he did . maxine : me too . i 'm so worried about him . [ crying ] kayla : how are you feeling ? daniel : i 'm pretty good . the drug 's clearing out little by little . kayla : well , good . daniel : any news ? kayla : um , yeah , they tested the coffee pot by the nurses station , and it 's negative except for the usual lousy coffee . daniel : [ laughs ] kayla : and , uh , they fished your coffee cup out of the trash can and , uh , that was negative also . i , uh , hate to tell you this , but the medical investigation team is over at your place right now . daniel : you know , i did n't do this to myself , kayla . you know that , right ? kayla : of course i know that . listen , do n't worry about it . just rest , all right ? we 're gon na get to the bottom of this . all right . daniel : [ sighs ] julie : well , sami , as much fun as this has been , i really must go . illegitimus non carborundum . do n't let her grind you under . sami : always a pleasure , julie . julie : [ scoffs ] sami : well , you sure know how to play her , do n't you ? nick : i do n't play her , sami . we 're family and we love each other . sami : right , but now she 's gon na go around town , talking about how much you have changed and how god - awful i am . nick : well , it 's pretty much the truth , is n't it ? i 've changed , and you 're pretty damn awful . sami : [ scoffs ] i just ca n't believe it . nick : so ... have a nice day , sami . sami : bastard . maxine : jennifer must be going out of her mind . abe : well , show her that smile . maxine : [ laughs ] jennifer and daniel used to call me their biggest cheerleader . but they make each other so happy . i mean , who would n't root for them ? abe : it 's the truth . maxine : well , it 's time to get going . thanks again for making me feel a whole lot better . abe : well , that is my pleasure . maxine : thank you . bye - bye . jennifer : cory , hey . listen , i know that you have a deadline . you 're just gon na have to wait on the press release , okay ? they 're still gathering evidence , they 're doing tests . cory : gathering evidence against dr. jonas ? jennifer : no , because we still do n't know what happened , all right ? so you 're just gon na have to wait a little while . cory : okay . i 'll check with my producer . jennifer : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] liam : jennifer ? jennifer : liam , hey . liam : listen , i wan na offer my deepest sympathy . i know you and daniel jonas have been dating , and ... there 's probably some explanation for why he 'd be using that drug . i mean ... dr. jonas has a terrific reputation . it 's just ... [ sighs ] jennifer : what ? liam : believe me , as a pharmaceutical rep , i know how much stress doctors are under . around the clock sometimes . it 's debilitating , you know ? sometimes a doctor 's tired , under pressure . he grabs the wrong medication and winds up making a terrible , tragic mistake . eric : you mind if i join you ? theresa : sure . is it time for another lecture already ? look , trust me . i thought about what you said earlier , okay , and i 'm not gon na gossip about daniel anymore . i 'm just gon na let the doctors and the lab techies figure out what happened . i mean , in fact , i think the whole thing 's really sad . eric : do you ? theresa : what 's that supposed to mean ? eric : i 'm gon na be very blunt with you , theresa . you and daniel have a history , and it 's not a good one . you also have a history with jennifer . people know that . theresa : so i 'm a suspect . eric : or your boss . theresa : oh , anne ? come on ! [ laughs ] look , first of all , i was nowhere near the hospital this morning , okay ? and anne was completely blown away by the news . and besides , you know what , if daniel 's innocent then it should be easy enough to prove . eric : let 's hope so . theresa : oh , my god , it 's not like the guy was gon na die , okay , eric ? look , he just took one too many pills . eric : no , theresa , someone did this to him . theresa : okay , fine ! whatever . look . [ scoffs ] the thing is , is daniel and jenny told me flat out to stay away from them and jj . so that 's exactly what i do , and then you got to me earlier , all right ? so i 'm not gon na gossip about daniel anymore . so just back off , all right ? i had nothing to do with what happened . what ? [ scoffs ] oh , god . you still do n't believe me . nicole : daniel , i do n't know how this happened to you , but i am so sorry you 're sick . daniel : thank you . i appreciate that . nicole : oh ! you 're awake . daniel : yeah . nicole : what ... happened ? i mean , did you come down with something ? daniel : no , no . i do n't know how ... but someone deliberately drugged me . nick : ej ! ej : mr. fallon . for me ? you really should n't have . nick : [ laughs ] no , it 's actually a wedding gift for will and sonny . ej : indeed . what a genuinely thoughtful man you are . your motive however is rather transparent . nick : what 's my motive ? ej : trying to impress gabriella ... showing her that you 're reaching out . nick : [ laughs ] guess what , ej . i do n't really give a damn what you think about me ... but you better put your fiancée on a leash ... before she screws things up for everybody . [ banging on door ] gabi : shh ! i 'm coming ! i 'm coming ! i just got the ba -- shh ! can you stop -- sami : you ! you are unbelievable . un- freaking- believable ! oh , you are the same selfish lying little bitch that you -- theresa : fine , eric . do n't believe me , i 'm used to it . eric : i have n't accused you of lying . theresa : oh . that look did n't count ? eric : theresa , i need you to listen to me . yeah . maybe daniel was n't in danger of dying , but if he loses his job because somebody could n't control their anger because someone was so -- theresa : i did n't do it ! eric : good , i 'm glad to hear that . but if you know anything about it , or anyone involved , you better step up . liam : i did n't mean dr. jonas was at fault in any way . i hope you know that . jennifer : you know what , i appreciate your concern , liam . i really do . but daniel did n't mix anything up . he does n't use medications . he takes a vitamin once a day . liam : right . jennifer : that 's it . liam : right , sure , if that 's what you wan na believe . i mean , who am i , right ? jennifer : excuse me ? what ? excuse me ? liam : nothing , rea -- [ stammering ] you know , i stepped in because i thought i could help , and i 'm doing the opposite . jennifer : no , no . you were gon na say something . just say it , please . liam : like i said , doctors are under such terrible stress . a lot of them demand total perfection of themselves , and ... i 'll be blunt here . as a rep for some big pharma companies , i know doctors get a ton of free samples . jennifer : right . but daniel 's a surgeon . liam : right , i know . and i did n't give him any samples , but i know doctors do get them . and sometimes when a doctor 's demanding too much of himself , he -- he starts looking for help . jennifer : well , that is not true . clearly you do n't know daniel . liam : no , i do n't . and -- and ... you know , i 'm not the one to tell you this , but ... i ... hmm . jennifer : what ? just say it . liam : are you sure you know daniel as well as you think ? i mean , how well can any of us really truly know another person ? daniel : i was fine when i woke up . i had a double bypass scheduled . but when i got to the hospital i was already dragging , and now i know why . nicole : why ? daniel : my system was full of an opiate called dilaudid . nicole : what ? daniel : it 's a painkiller , just really knocks you out . the only thing i had when i came here was just a quick cup of coffee , and that already tested negative . and the only other thing i had was my protein drink in my apartment . so how in the hell does this happen ? nicole : [ sighs ] liam : it must be fate we just keep running into each other . are you here on a story ? nicole : you still did n't answer my question . what are you doing here ? daniel : nicole . what is it ? nicole ? | theresa overheard maxine and eric talking about daniel . anne taunted daniel about him being a drug dealer . jennifer tried to defend daniel , but anne did n't back down . anne thought he should have been fired . nicole wanted to know what liam was doing in daniel 's building . julie was upset that will and sonny did n't invite nicole to the wedding . sami and ej told gabi about a modeling job out of the country . anne continued to berate daniel until kayla showed up . julie thought sami was why nick was n't at the wedding . he wanted to change the subject . he told her how things were good with gabi . julie warned her that gabi is trouble . sami and gabi argued over nick . gabi thought nick changed , but sami thought he did n't . liam lied to nicole about why he was in daniel 's building . theresa overheard maxine tell eric that daniel tested positive for drugs . when maxine left , theresa caused trouble . kayla told daniel that he was suspended until they investigated him . liam reminded nicole about the night he saw her in the park . theresa thought liam had something to do with what happened to daniel . |
steve : i mean , what -- she 's dead , and she 's still messing with our lives . kayla : well , you know what ? we 're gon na talk to tripp again . we will explain to him what ava was really like again . and somehow , we are gon na get through to him . steve : you think so ? kayla : ava was n't reasonable , but you know what , i think tripp is . he will come to see that his mother had no claim to sainthood . the truth will win . steve : but not the whole truth . kayla : of course not . he can not know ... that joey really did it .

[ sniffs ] i do n't know . it was almost like i was watching myself . i knew it was wrong , but i just -- i could n't stop . kayla : well , we both know claire can be rather high - strung . jj : yeah , and she is very stressed . haley and tripp are getting married today . kayla : you are a good friend , and a good man . jj : [ sighs ] kayla : i ca n't believe it , but i did hear that your father and eve are getting married today also . jack : and i told him that his marriage is ripping mom apart . he did n't give a damn . he even had the nerve to ask me to be his best man . look , even if i was n't tripp 's , there 's no way in hell i would stand up there as a witness to him marrying eve . kayla : i 'm sorry your family 's having to go through this . jj : [ scoffs softly ] look , i know this is terrible , but ... i kinda just wish my dad would 've stayed dead . jennifer : jack , can you hear me ? are you okay ? jack ! jack , look at me . look at me . jack , look at me . are you okay ? there you are . look at me . say my name -- anything . say anything . who am i ? say my name . jack : loretta .

[ laughs nervously ] i just do n't know what i 'm gon na do . i do n't know . what the police trace the lighter back to me , eve ? oh , god . and then if tripp finds out , he 's just -- he 's gon na hate me forever . eve : no . claire : yeah . eve : no , no , no . no , he 's not . no , he 's not . no , he 's not . no , he 's not , shh . eli : because of jordan 's denial , we 've reopened the case . ciara : she 's in bayview . why would anyone believe anything that comes out of her mouth ? eli : she 's been cooperative about everything else . no reason to believe she 'd be lying about this . ciara : okay . well , just because jordan did n't set the fire , does n't mean that ben did . and it 's not like you guys have any evidence , so maybe you should just leave him alone . eli : jj brought me a lighter similar to the one that ben used to set fire to the cabin . he found it at the loft . ciara : the loft ? how is that possible ? eli : yeah , apparently claire had it . ciara : okay , so ask claire about it then . eli : i asked claire about it . she said she found it laying around . and you did stay at the loft for a while . ciara : all right ... [ laughs ] so , what , ben decided to hold on to the lighter as some , what , freaky souvenir and just decided to leave it laying around ? ben : the lighter 's not mine . eli : [ sighs ] i 'd like you to come to the station and take a look at it . ciara : okay . ben : let 's go . eli : excuse me . i prefer she come alone . ben : what , you think i 'm gon na influence it ? eli , if you think that lighter 's mine , you 're gon na accuse me , i should be there . ciara : ben , it 's okay . you and i both know that you did n't do it , and whatever they think they have is bogus . it 's okay . let 's do this .

[ scene_break ] hope : carly , you had n't lived in salem for a long time before you 'd come back . that 's why you can see you 're just part of a pattern . carly : what pattern is that , hope ? hope : you think ... you think it 's you ? you were just in the right place at the right time . carly : i do n't know what you 're talking about . hope : well , i want to explain it to you . when our son was killed , bo got -- okay , let 's just say that , um , when things get really bad , bo retreats into the past . carly : oh . look , i 'm not even going to begin to tell you that i understand what it 's like to lose a child and what you went through when you lost your son . and i know that people grieve in different ways , but really , hope ? kind of a cheap shot , saying that bo runs out and has affairs so that he does n't have to grieve and that you handle all that for the both of you . hope : you know what , i really do n't give a damn what you think , carly . honestly . all i know is , i 've gone through some really bad times alone . carly : hope , what about patrick ? hope : [ sighs ] bo talked to you about me ? carly : bo talks to me about a lot of things . you stand there , up on your moral high ground , and the fact is that bo has been hurt , too . hope : and you know what ? unfortunately , i can see that he has more pain coming to him . you killed your own marriage , and then you came here . you had the audacity to come here and kill mine . carly : yep , it 's all my fault . hope : and , wow . what 's the matter ? already getting restless ? i can see it on your eyes . bo 's gon na find himself all alone ... again .

[ scene_break ] chloe : nicole , when you decide that you 're gon na make things happen the way that you want them to happen , you always end up in a lot of trouble . you just got out of prison . nicole : do you really think i 'm gon na do something awful to arianna ? chloe : well , i distinctly remember being the other woman when you wanted brady before . nicole : i , um ... i know , but i was out of my mind when i did that to you , and you forgave me , remember ? chloe : and you 're in control now ? nicole : [ sighs ] brady loves me . i know he does . he just thought i was gon na be with ej forever . chloe : well , you thought so , too . nicole : yeah , well , now i 've seen the light , and brady will , too . look , he does n't have to settle for second best anymore . arianna hernandez is all wrong for him , and i 'm gon na prove that to him . arianna : good luck with that .

[ laughs ] after everything that that jerk has put you through , you 're gon na turn to him now ? [ scene_break ] ej : so just how am i supposed to take responsibility ? would you like me to tell samantha everything ? do you ever wish to see johnny and sydney again ? because you know what would happen if i told her . stefano : elvis , if you had confided in me and trusted me , when you had the chance , i would have moved heaven and earth for you to protect you . ej : i do n't need protection , thank you ! i 'm a grown man ! stefano : ohh ! ha ha ! well ... [ chuckles ] you wait and see when giovanni is your age and you are mine . then we will see how you feel . elvis , everything i did , i did for you , out of my love for you . ej : okay . i 'll accept that ... if you show me that same love right now . you keep this thing between you and me .

[ scene_break ] carly : you want to think the worst of me ? that 's fine , go ahead . but the fact is i 've been in love with bo since i first met him , and that we 're together makes me happier than i ever dreamed possible . if i have anything to say about it , we 're gon na be together forever . hope : i used to use the same word . carly : can we not do the martyr thing anymore , please ? and just so you know , i 'm not gon na grovel , and i 'm not gon na continue to apologize , okay ? so just forget about it . i love bo , and he loves me , and that 's not going to change . hope : oh , god , what 's happening to me ? henderson : will you be dining at home this evening , mrs. brady ? hope : no , uh , you know what , henderson . actually , i 'm not feeling very well . i have an unbelievable killer headache , so , no , thank you . henderson : can i get you anything ? a cup of tea ? aspirin ? hope : no . no , i just , um ... i just want to go to bed . just want this whole day to be over with . good night . [ scene_break ] chloe : well , i should be getting home . nicole : okay . well , remember what i said . chloe : and you remember what i said . good night , ari . arianna : good night . so , i was right . you want to duke it out over brady . nicole : may the best woman win . arianna : anyway , brady and i had a little chit - chat about you this evening . nicole : really ? arianna : really . we would like to give this to you . nicole : we ? nice try . the loan is between brady and me . arianna : then why am i the one with the check ? look , brady feels sorry for you . he wants to help you start over anywhere but salem . however , this is a one - time - only offer . so you take it or leave it . [ scene_break ] sami : you know what ? ej has changed , all right ? i know you hate hearing me say it , but it 's true . brady : yeah , you 're right . i do hate it , because i 've heard it before so many times . sami : this time is different . after everything that we went through with sydney ... look , you and i both know that people are capable of changing . and he 's trying to be a better person . brady : and his way of changing is spending all of his time over at your place . how 's that working out for you and rafe anyway ? sami : that has nothing to do with ej . brady : give me a break , sami . it does . sami : it does n't ! look , i went to rafe , and i told him i would do anything to make things work between us , and he did n't want any part of it . he would n't even let me provide him with an alibi . brady : what ? i 'm sorry , what does he need an alibi for ? what is that about ? sami : the d.a . accused rafe of having tried to beat him up or something , and , anyway , rafe obviously did n't do it , but he needs proof . brady : he needs proof ? he needs a lawyer . sami : yeah , well , he has time . i mean , he has n't been charged with anything yet . brady : all right , sami , look , obviously rafe has some problems that he 's got ta deal with , but so do you , all right ? you 've got four kids depending upon you , and you do n't need to lean on someone like ej dimera . 'cause no matter how much you think he 's changed , you 're never gon na break that connection between him and his father . [ scene_break ] stefano : so ... ahem . you want me to remain quiet to the fact that you kidnapped your own daughter . ej : that 's right . stefano : and you sided against me . and you made me think , utterly believe , that that little girl was dead , drowned , dead . and you stood aside while i grieved for her ! [ chuckling ] i could n't have done it better . [ scene_break ] justin : look , i just want to make something clear . there was never anything between hope and me . adrienne : i know that . because she 's so hung up on bo , she would n't give you a tumble . but if that were to change right now , you would leave skid marks getting out of this bar . come to think of it , that 's why you really want me to stick around , is n't it ? if hope thinks that you and i might be getting back together , she might just realize what it is she 's missing out on . justin : that is beneath both of us . adrienne : i think it 's right on the money . this is just you letting me think that i win so you can get what you want . but this time , i know the score . [ crying ] [ scene_break ] arianna : going , going ... nicole : thank brady for me . actually , know what ? i 'll do it myself . arianna : whatever you want . nicole : so when 's the wedding ? arianna : actually , we 've decided not to rush into things . nicole : great . brady took my advice . arianna : your advice ? you really think he 'd take advice from someone who 's made a bigger mess of her life than anybody on this planet ? nicole : well , something changed . i mean , you two are hell - bent on getting married , the sooner , the better . arianna : actually , it was brady who was hell - bent . it was his idea from the get - go . i know you think that i tried to push him into it . nicole : i really never gave it much thought , to tell you the truth . arianna : i know what brady feels for you is pity , and you prey on his kind heart and it works . i know that he 's too decent , he 's too good to abandon someone as needy and desperate as you are . nicole : no , he 's too smart of a man to abandon a woman who has his heart and always will . arianna : i 'm not like chloe . i 'm not like the other little girls that you 've pushed around . i 've been inside , the same as you . you mess with me , you 're not gon na like what happens . [ scene_break ] sami : i am not relying in ej . brady : what , rafe ? rafe is out of your life , for what , two seconds , and you 're already crawling back to ej ? sami , you -- look , you 're strong . why do n't you stand on your own two feet for a change ? why do n't you come to me if you need help ? sami : i am standing on my own two feet . i went and confronted stefano all by myself , and by the way , i am coming to you . this is me , sitting here , talking to you . brady : all right , okay . why -- why does will want to move out of the house ? sami : 'cause he 's mad , because ej 's living there . brady : he 's li -- he 's still there ? are you kidding me ? he 's still living there ? sami : you sound like my dad . brady : i sou -- well , he 's an awful person to listen to . what is wrong with you ? sami : ej wants to spend time with sydney . brady : who cares ? who cares ? your son -- your son wants to go move in with stefano and kate . throw the bum out . sami : he 's not a bum . brady : he gives bums a bad name , sami . sami : stop it , okay ? ej is trying to be a good father . he wants to spend time with his daughter . we just got her back . brady : i ca n't believe you 're buying this . did it ever occur to you for one second that maybe ej is just trying to make another play for you ? [ scene_break ] ej : i ... i thought you just said i did something well . stefano : mm . course , i do not like being played for a fool , and especially i do not like my life being threatened , but you also made roman brady 's daughter believe in you . [ chuckles ] you , my son , are a true dimera . ej : mm - hmm . so what is this ? making one 's bones ? stefano : no , no , no , no , come on , do n't get too cocky , okay ? because , you know , i did find that bottle for the children 's medicine . i had ... i had my suspicions , you know . [ chuckles ] but you kept going at it , you know . it 's wonderful . you , um ... you deceived the ultimate deceiver . ej : this is not the only copy , is it ? stefano : no , it 's not . ej : so this is a gesture ? [ grabs disk ] stefano : it is a gesture of respect . [ pats back ] elvis , you 've played it well . [ scene_break ] chloe : hi , honey , it 's me . i just wanted to know when you wanted me to come pick you up , and i was thinking we could do some takeout . on the way home , i saw this new thai place that looks pretty delicious , so i was thinking we could have that for dinner , so , um ... yeah , just , um , call me when you can . bye . carly : hi . i 'm sorry if i scared you . daniel gave me his keys . listen , um , i just want to say that i 'm gon na do the best i can to stay out of your way . [ scene_break ] adrienne : i guess it 's pretty dead . guess i 'll , i do n't know , close up .

[ scene_break ] nicole : so are you threatening me ? arianna : i suggest you take the check and leave town . unless you want to watch brady and me living happily ever after . nicole : happily ever after is for fairy tales , honey . this is real life .

[ gentle music ] paul : i do n't know if i could go on . i ca n't even imagine my life without you in it . i love you , sonny . sonny : you 're serious . paul : was it so hard to believe ? i mean , you and i made love . i figured it was implied . sonny : some things just need to be spelled out . paul : okay . i ... love ... you ... sonny kiriakis . i always have . sonny : and for the record , i love you , too , paul . chad : you remember our vows ? abigail : of course . i love those words . but i am a different person now and i want these vows to reflect who we are and what we 've been through . chad : we 've been through a lot . abigail : yeah . chad : but we 're stronger for it . abigail : mm - hmm . chad : from now on , smooth sailing . abigail : okay . chad : mm - hmm . jj : maybe you should save all this for when you renew your vows . abigail : yeah . we probably should . jj : see you at the pub . chad : wait . hey , wait . um , can you do me a favor ? jj : sure . anything . chad : be a good brother and chauffeur this beautiful lady to the pub for the party ? i have an errand to run . are you okay with that ? abigail : how could i not be ? this guy ? it better be worth it , though . chad : oh , it will be . abigail : okay . jj : you guys seem to be in a really good place . abigail : yeah , we are . we are . at least i hope we are . lani : what do you think you and i will be doing tonight ? eli : going to chad and abigail 's party ? lani : you 're going . eli : abigail is my cousin . and i assume that you 'll be there with jj ? lani : i will . eli : then we will indeed be hanging out together . lani : we 'll be in the same place at the same time . it does n't mean we 'll be ... `` hanging out . `` eli : true . lani : and i think it 's best we do n't 'cause i just might be , you know , tempted to meddle in your business . eli : okay , about that . i know i came down on you kinda hard when you talked to me about my mom . i realize now that you 're only trying to help . lani : is that an apology ? eli : it is ... look , i 'm just hoping that we can start over . all right ? try and be civil to each other and ... maybe even be friends . lani : it would be a lot easier than holding a grudge . eli : so , that a yes ? lani : it is . eli : deal . claire : okay ... theo : did i say something wrong ? claire : no , no , no , no , not wrong , theo , but , um ... i just know that you get ... confused sometimes about saying what you really want . theo : okay , well , us being together forever that 's -- that is what i want . claire : i mean ... forever is , like , a long , long time and we 're both so young -- thinking too far ahead . i just -- i do n't know . theo : well , i mean , if we 're gon na be making love , do n't you think that should mean forever ? claire : wow . theo : you know what ? claire , look ... i love you , okay ? and we do n't have to sleep together , but i just -- i think you should know that i 'm all in . [ gentle music ] claire : you know ... yeah . i am , too . theo : yeah ? claire : okay ... theo : okay ? claire : but like i said before , you know , i do n't want it to be here . theo : yeah . claire : worrying if somebody 's gon na interrupt us again . so ... it has to be someplace ... incredibly romantic and special . theo : mm - hmm . theo : i already thought of that . claire : you did ? oh . [ chuckles ] theo : do you trust me ? chad : hey . dario : hey . chad : hey , you know what ? i 'm , um ... look , i 'm really sorry about your father . you know , i heard the news . dario : are you ? chad : i am . yeah , i know how close you and gabi were to him -- sorry are . are to him . dario : so this is your heartfelt personal apology ? be real , as a businessman ... you got ta be thrilled that one of your biggest competitors is out of the picture . chad : dario , i did n't go there . dario : no , of course , but now that we are there , i 'm a let you in on a little secret . while my father 's gone , i 'm going to turn gdr into the most successful business in this city . chad : by any means necessary . dario : with whatever it takes . chad : you know , hey , just -- dario , if i can give you a little advice , there 's a lot of eyes on you in salem right now , so make sure , you know , you 're dotting your i 's and crossing your t 's because it would -- it would be a shame if gabi lost another member of her family . dario : do n't you think you should start focusing on your wife instead of my little sister ? [ dramatic music ] chad : no , da -- why do n't you worry about your own business and stay out of mine . dario : you know , i do n't know how you live with yourself . here you have the most loving , loyal wife in the world , and yet you are constantly betraying her by your feelings for my sister . and that is not fair . abigail deserves more than this half - assed devotion . not a man who probably fantasizes about another woman when he 's in bed with her -- chad : you need to start watching your mouth . dario : abigail should have a man who wants her and only her . a man who loves her ... chad : [ laughing ] what ? dario : appreciates her -- what ? chad : like you ? [ dramatic music ] you 're in love with my wife ? dario : and yet she 's given her heart to you . a man who will eventually break it into a million pieces . wyatt : okay , favorite luke bryan . one , two ... both : `` strip it down . `` ciara : no , way ! wyatt : way . ciara : i love luke bryan . wyatt : yeah , it 's a shame he 's not playing at that festival you told me about . ciara : yeah , but betty dylan 's there and i love them . wyatt : me , too . i 'll buy tickets . ciara : okay . wyatt : but that 's not for a few weeks , but , uh ... before then , do you like ... fishing ? ciara : uh , yes . [ both laugh ] ciara : my grandpa shawn taught me how to fish . he was a genius at it . i mean , we used to spend half our summers on the salem river . wyatt : well , i bet you did n't know this : there is the most amazing inlet in this island up the river . ciara : smith island ? wyatt : you know it ? ciara : yeah , my family owns a cabin up there . that 's where i learned how to fish . i 'd love to take you up there sometime . show you my stuff -- i mean , um ... just show you my gear . yeah ... i have really great gear . i have a fin - nor reel . wyatt : i 've never even seen one . ciara : well , now you will . wyatt : wow . well ... on that note , i think it is time for another refill . how about a couple lattes with some cinnamon and chocolate sprinkles ? ciara : that 's my fave . julie : ciara ! ciara : grandma . julie : aw , sweetie pie . i was just shopping . i found this wonderful bauble for abby 's big day tomorrow . well , may i join you ? ciara : yes -- i mean , no . i 'm sorry . i 'm -- you know i love you ... julie : mm - hmm . ciara : it 's just i 'm on a date right now . his name 's wyatt . julie : oh , wow . ciara : yeah . julie : how nice . where is he ? ciara : he went to get us lattes . he knew exactly how to make mine . it 's like we 're totally in tune , you know ? julie : you must be wyatt . i am julie williams . i am this beautiful girl 's grandmother . wyatt : oh , well , i see where she gets her beauty . julie : [ giggles ] oh , oh , not only cute , he 's really good with older women , too . wyatt : it 's nice to meet you , mrs. williams . julie : my pleasure . well , you two have fun and give me a call when you have a little time . maybe we can make a plan and ... and maybe wyatt and you would like to come to dinner at our house ? sometime soon ? wyatt : yeah , sounds great . ciara : okay . julie : great . okay , bye , sweetie . ciara : bye , grandma . julie : yup . bye - bye . wyatt : wow , you got a really amazing family . ciara : yeah . wyatt : they 're really looking out for you . ciara : mm . wyatt : but , hey , why would n't they ? you 're amazing . [ gentle music ] ciara : i 'm feeling pretty lucky . theo : all right , and just stand here for a second . claire : okay . theo : do n't move 'cause i do n't want you to trip . claire : okay , i wo n't . theo , where are we ? theo : just stand there for a minute , okay ? claire : okay . hm , what is that ? i mean , it smells like hawaii , but obviously it 's not . unless we time traveled . theo : no , it 's not hawaii , but , um ... i really hope you like it . claire : [ gasps ] you set all this up ? theo : yeah . cider ? do you really like it ? claire : it 's like my pinterest board . theo : yeah , and i 'm sorry it 's not green mountain lodge . claire : oh , my god , no . this is so much better . theo : really ? claire : it 's perfect . [ laughter ] abigail : eli , thank you so much for coming . jj : and thank you for bringing this one . eli : yeah , it 's the least i could do now that we 're ... friends ? lani : do n't push it . abigail : uh - oh . sonny : okay .

[ laughs ] um , i 'm so glad to see all of you . really . and while chad kinda takes a moment to breathe here , i just wanted to thank all of you for always being so supportive of chad and me . and tomorrow is gon na be a pretty intimate , family affair so tonight i wanted to celebrate with some of my closest friends . so i do n't know if you 've gotten a chance to meet eli yet or not , he -- this is my newest friend and cousin . he is the newest member of the horton family . may i introduce a mr. eli grant . [ all cheers ] chad : being married to a horton you learn a few things . how important family is . you also learn that relationships are n't always easy , but with love and commitment ... you can work through the tough times and you 're stronger for it . we 've been married for a while , but tomorrow we are renewing our vows which will symbolize a new beginning for us . and , you know , despite the difficult times we 've been through , we 're still here . together . committed to each other ... and our son -- whom we love very much . he takes after her , thankfully . [ laughter ] [ abigail clears her throat ] chad : i love you more than ever . abigail : i love you . chad : i love you and to you . abigail : no , to us . chad : okay , to us . abigail : to us . all : hear hear . [ laughter ] [ glasses clinking ] jj : cheers . paul : great speech . chad : thanks , i winged it . jj : you did wing it . i could tell . i could tell . [ overlapping chatter ] abigail : gabi . [ dramatic music ] lani : what was that about ? eli : she probably did n't wan na deal with anyone 's questions about her dad . you know what ? i 'm gon na check on her . jj : thank you . i feel really bad for gabi . she 's going through hell right now . she feels alone . chad : it 's because of me . eli : hey ... this seat taken ? i 've heard i 'm a pretty good listener . gabi : i 'm not feeling very social tonight . eli : gabi , what your dad did is not a reflection on you . he 's a grown man and he made his own choices . gabi : i was so foolish ... to think that he 'd be in my life forever ... and now -- [ sobbing ] [ somber music ] [ dramatic music ] abigail : thank you . i 'll see you soon . bye . hey . [ giggles ] chad : i 'm sorry . abigail : no , honey , no . we 're both really worried about gabi and it 's obviously gon na be a really hard time for her , but , um ... hopefully eli can help her out . gabi : ugh , at least , uh ... one good thing came out of this : you wo n't have to investigate my father . eli : that does make getting to know you less complicated , but ... i 'd choose complicated over the pain that you 're going through . [ approaching footsteps ] sonny : mind if i cut in ? gabi : hi . sonny : you okay ? gabi : yeah , i 'm better now . thank you . eli : looks like you 're in good hands . i 'll send you a text later and check in on you . gabi : okay . sonny : is that true ? you feeling better ? gabi : i mean , i 'm hanging in there , you know ? there 's not really a lot i can do . i just feel so stupid 'cause i thought that my dad had changed for -- for us , for ariana , for me , but he -- sonny : hey , hey , hey , ari has both of us so she will be loved like crazy . gabi : yeah . and i was n't talking about eduardo . where are you with your feelings for chad ? [ dramatic music ] wyatt : how about another ? ciara : no , too much caffeine will make me crazy . wyatt : i bet crazy would look good on you . [ ciara laughs ] wyatt : what ? ciara : it 's just ... you 're such a nice guy and i know that we barely know each other , but i feel like you really get me . it 's just ... you make me feel ... like , good about myself . wyatt : well , hey , that 's my goal . seriously , i th -- i think you 're really amazing , ciara . i mean it . i 've never met anyone quite like you . [ gentle music ] [ romantic music ] theo : are you sure ? ciara : yes . yes , i am . i 've never wanted anything more . i 've got an angel gabi : you want me to tell you how i 'm dealing with my feelings for chad ? [ sniffles ] not well , sonny . not well . sonny : i mean , do you wan na talk about it ? gabi : why ? ! so i can rehash how -- how miserable i am ? you know , tonight , walking into that party ... that celebration for chad and abigail , it really hit me harder than ever . abigail is chad 's wife . the mother of his son . and she loves him as much as i do . i can not be the person to get in between that family . i ca n't . i wo n't be . abigail : i 'm gon na go check on thomas . chad : hey , uh , wait . can you -- i ran into dario when i was running my errand . abigail : oh , did you tell him how sorry we are about eduardo ? chad : he did n't believe me . abigail : well , at least you tried . chad : abby ... abigail : my god , you 're so serious . [ tense music ] chad : do you two have , um ... feelings for each other ? abigail : me and dario ? no . what would ever make you think that ? chad : earlier you were afraid to text him . abigail : yeah , because i said we had had some words lately . chad : well , he had a few choice words for me . mainly about how bad i treat you . or how bad he thinks that i treat you . and then all of a sudden there it was all over his face . he 's in love with you . [ abigail sighs ] chad : and based on the look on your face , i 'm guessing you already knew that ? abigail : okay , that 's why we got in a fight , okay ? but look , no , i set him straight . i swear . chad , look , when i came back to salem , he was like a brother to me and ... i thought it was friendship and i desperately needed some friends . i did . so i told him he was mistaking his caring for love ... [ chad scoffs ] abigail : and , chad , i told him -- no , listen to me . i told him that you are my one , true love . you 're all that i want . i do n't feel anything . i do n't feel anything for him . chad : then why would n't you text him earlier ? i mean , what were you afraid of ? abigail : because i did n't want to send a mixed message and ... i kinda just ... think i took it from your playbook with his sister that no contact was best . [ thomas crying ] [ chad clears his throat ] abigail : i 'll see you upstairs ? [ dramatic music ] claire : that was -- that was better than i even expected . theo : [ laughs ] yeah . claire : it was ... [ both sigh ] claire : there are no words really . i mean , i guess there are , but ... i do n't know i 'm just none that would do it justice , right ? theo : right . you know , 'cause ... we 're with the person we love . [ gentle music ] ciara : you wan na come in ? i do n't know who 's here . i have a ton of roommates . wyatt : let 's save getting to know each other more for the next date . yes ? ciara : okay , i 'd love that . wyatt : i 'll call you . ciara : good night . wyatt : night . [ dramatic music ] eli : so ... from what i 've gleaned from you and my investigating , it makes total sense why deimos went after hernandez . i mean , it makes it easier for him to consolidate his power . jj : question is , who 's next ? paul : we ca n't let that scum hurt anyone else we love . jj : look at us . three white hats . good guys . trying to do the right thing . we need to make a vow that in the future the three of us will consolidate our power . and make sure of that . paul : damn straight . eli : hell yeah . cheers . sonny : so you 'll be constantly looking over your shoulder ? salem is not a big city . we all run in the same circles . gabi : well , then i 'll run the other way . i have to for chad to forget me . and for him to be out of my life , too . sonny : i 'm so sorry , gabi . i 'm so sorry . gabi : yeah , me , too . chad : how is he ? abigail : sleeping . i gave him a kiss from both of us . very gentle , because i did not want to wake him up . chad : oh , well , i have a feeling we 'll be hearing from him in the middle of the night . abigail : yeah . maybe a couple times . chad : hm . well , why do n't we make the most of the peace and quiet while we got it then ? abigail : mm , yeah . [ both chuckle ] abigail : chad , i know that everything did n't go the way that we expected this evening -- chad : sh . nothing -- nothing does , okay ? abigail : and all this with dario -- chad : stop . after tomorrow no one will exist but us . and i shall love you forever again , mrs. dimera . abigail : i love you , too . so much . chad : sleep with that outfit on ? abigail : no . in fact , i ca n't wait to get out of it . chad : i ca n't wait to watch you get out of it . [ both laugh ] [ soft , gentle music ] abigail : you know , after everything that 's happened with us i just -- | jj goes to tell chad and abigail about eduardo 's arrest and how it 's affecting gabi while chad and abigail continue to plan their vow renewal . dario assures gabi that he will always be there for her still . paul continues to worry about sonny going after deimos which sonny takes as him being overprotective but paul tells sonny that he loves him so sonny smiles and says he loves him too . ciara and wyatt have another date and continue to relate on common interests as ciara feels he 's almost too good to be true . julie passes by and meets wyatt . theo tells claire that he 's ready to make love and wants to be together forever . eli and lani agree to start over and try to be friends . |
ben : [ sighs ] lani , lani , lani . ciara : did you make a new friend ? ben : it 's my nephew 's . ciara : hmm . ben : he and lani just walked by . they must have dropped it . considering how fast she just tried to get away from me , she did n't even notice . ciara : that is so not fair . you 're that baby 's uncle . have you had any luck trying to talk to jordan ? ben : no , i called over to bayview but ... doctor still wo n't let me get in contact with her . seems like nobody in this town wants me to get to know my own nephew . claire : wait , so you want to frame ben for the fire that i set ? eve : why not ? you made an impulsive decision . just like a lot of other girls do at your age . why should the rest of your life be ruined because of that ? claire : mm - hmm . yeah , but it -- it just ... is it really fair to frame ben ? eve : yeah , it 's fair . he killed my daughter . he needs to pay for what he did . and you know what ? we 'll be doing this town a big favor by using that lighter to frame him . claire : all right . okay . yeah , um ... how do we do it ? eve : [ sighs ] honey , we will have that conversation another day . because i 'm telling you , it is my wedding day , and i really need to find my groom , okay ? [ pats leg ] jennifer : you can stay here with me ... and we can figure out a way to bring the old jack home . or you can walk out of here right now ... and go marry ms . eve donovan . [ door opens ] choice is yours . jack : it 's nice of you to give me a choice after you chose to lock me in here and hold me hostage . jennifer : desperate times , jack . jack : yeah . yeah . jennifer : i -- i can stand here and i can tell you how much we meant to each other ... but i ca n't make you love me . the choice has to be yours . jack : all those stories that you told me ... you 're right . clearly we share something special . but as strong as that connection was ... i just do n't feel it anymore . i 'm sorry . jennifer : [ gasps , sniffles ] [ weeping ] justin : tripp . did you pick up the marriage license ? tripp : uh , i did , yeah , and thank you again for agreeing to marry haley and me . justin : happy to help . tripp : so there 's no ... conflict of interest ? justin : why would there be ? as far as i know , you and haley are madly in love with each other . [ tender music ] jj : i 'm so grateful . haley : for what ? jj : for your forgiveness . haley : i should n't have been so hard on you . jj : oh , sure you should have been . look -- look , what i did , it -- i screwed things up pretty badly . haley : you did n't mean for any of this to happen . jj : haley ... look , i -- i want another chance with you . haley : i was so angry about what you told your father , but no matter how hard i tried to fight my feelings they never went away . i still care about you , jj . a lot . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] [ gloomy music ] adrienne : oh . [ laughs ] jennifer : hey . adrienne : oh , goodness , where 's the fire ? why are you dressed like that ? jennifer : i tried to stop jack from marrying eve ... but instead , i 'm the one who got burned . claire : look , eve , i -- i get that today is your -- your big wedding day , but it 's also my boyfriend 's . oh , my god , why -- why , eve ? why is all this happening to me ? i -- i literally record tripp saying that his whole relationship with haley was fake and -- and it just -- it disappeared ! eve : okay -- claire : how ? eve : okay , just calm down . just because it disappeared does n't mean that ice is not gon na figure out that the whole wedding is -- is fake , okay ? and she will still be deported in 30 days , right on schedule . claire : 30 days is plenty of time for them to fall in love with each other . eve : [ sighs ] claire : and where does that leave me ? eve : okay , claire , really , you have got to pull yourself together here , honey . claire : what the hell does that mean ? eve : i -- i 'm just a little worried about you , okay ? you know what happened with ciara up there on that mountain cabin , i -- i just do n't want you to do something that you might regret , okay ? claire : well , maybe i should . because you 're not really helping me right now . i mean , you -- you told me that you would , but you 're not . eve : i told you i would , and i am going to . i just ca n't do it today , okay ? claire : fine . great . but you 'd better not let me down . [ tense music ] [ door opens ] [ door slams ] jj : look , i -- i know that you have marry tripp to stay in this country , but once -- once everything 's in the clear we can -- we can see each other again , right ? haley : ice will be watching me like a hawk for the next 30 days , but after that , definitely . [ knocking on door ] both : [ gasp ] haley : that -- that must be kayla . tripp said she was gon na be here . jj : okay . haley : [ laughs ] jj : [ grunts ] haley : uh , agent smith . um , hi , hi . um , what are you -- what are you doing here ? smith : just making a routine check . but judging by your outfit , i 'd venture this is your wedding day haley : right . right , it is . smith : how opportune considering how you and your fiancé could n't stop gushing about how much you love each other . that 's a ceremony i 'd like to see for myself . you do n't mind if i stay to observe , do you ? haley : n - no . of course not . come -- come in . smith : wonderful . oh , i did n't realize i was n't the first guest to arrive . [ door closes ] you 're jack deveraux 's son , are n't you ? jj ? jj : yeah , uh , i am . hello . smith : tell me , where 's your groom ? haley : he -- he 'll be here any minute . smith : and in the meantime , you 're spending time alone with a man who had a romantic interest in you ? i know mr . deveraux would n't approve . and i do n't know that i understand either . presenting downtherecare with cottonelle . ciara : [ sighs ] it 's not fair . you 're the baby 's blood relative . you should be taking care of him , not lani . ben : i think my blood 's the problem . lot of people in this town still think that i 'm dangerous . ciara : [ sighs ] including most of the cops ... which is why they interrogated us about that lighter . ben : how 'd it go with you ? ciara : he showed me claire 's lighter . ben : and ? ciara : i told him the truth . that the lighter looked a lot like the one i saw you with at the cabin . ben : okay . okay , okay -- no , do n't beat yourself up about it , it 's okay . ciara : [ sighs ] ben : you told them the truth . ciara : i know . ben : you ca n't blame yourself for that . ciara : i know , i know . i just ... i hate thinking about the cops going after you because of something i said . ben : it 's okay . claire : hey , little lovebirds . ciara , did i just hear you say something about talking to the cops ? why ? were they questioning you ? ciara : [ sighs ] yep . i , uh -- i went to talk to the cops , and they were asking me about the lighter that jj found in your jewelry box , claire . ben : yep , they believe your story , claire . that you found it after i left it at the loft . claire : it 's not a story . how else would i have ended up with it ? ben : i have no idea , claire , but all i know is that after i left that cabin i never saw that lighter again . claire : really ? so -- so it was just one big coincidence that it showed up back at the loft ? ciara : must be . because ben had nothing to do with setting that fire . claire : then who did ? i do n't know it 's just -- seems really strange to me , jordan saying she did n't set the fire , 'cause she admitted to kidnapping you and charlotte . why not just admit to setting the fire , too ? ciara : i do n't know , claire . i have no idea . the woman is obviously not in her right mind . i saw that firsthand . but just because jordan did n't set the fire does n't mean that ben did , okay ? it could have just as easily been someone else . claire : well , i do not really have time to talk about this right now , because in case you forgot , my boyfriend is marrying another woman today . ciara : yeah , right , to help her stay in the country . claire : and that 's supposed to make it easier for me ? my god , ciara , could you pretend to care a little bit ? ciara : [ scoffs ] do n't worry , claire . you 'll manage somehow . you always do . jj : there 's nothing suspicious going on here , ma'am . tripp and i are cousins , and he asked me to stand up for him . i 'm his best man . smith : that does n't explain why you 're alone with the bride . jj : i just -- i just came over here a little early because i -- i wanted to tell haley that even though things did n't work out with us , i 'm happy for -- for her and my cousin . haley : and i -- i told jj that even though i was upset that he told his father i was here illegally , i 've forgiven him . after , all we 're gon na be family now , right ? jj : mm - hmm , right . smith : i 'm not buying it . and be warned , if i find any proof that your relationship with mr . dalton is nothing more than a ruse to keep you in this country , i guarantee you will be on your way back to china immediately . jennifer : so that 's what i told him . that i would do everything to help him remember what we meant to each other if he just did n't marry eve today . adrienne : but he did n't agree . jennifer : why would he ? eve has him convinced that his sole purpose in life is to be a successful politician , so he really thinks that 's what he wants . adrienne : well , because that horrible , conniving woman has brainwashed him . jennifer , we have to get him away from her -- jennifer : adrienne , i have tried . i have done everything in my power to make that happen . nothing has worked . adrienne : so you 're just gon na give up ? jennifer : there 's nothing more that i can do . he is determined to marry eve , and i ca n't stop it . eve : uh , yes , this is eve donovan , and i was wondering if you happened to see my , um , fiancé exit the building ? uh , he would have been with a woman who looked like a dried up old twig . [ door opens ] uh -- uh , never mind . thank you . jack ! lord , where the hell have you been ? jack : you would n't believe me if i told you . eve : well , why do n't you try me ? jack : jennifer . eve : ugh . jack : [ laughs ] jennifer made it seem like the hotel was on fire , and forced me to evacuate . eve : `` forced you `` ? jack : did i happen to mention she was dressed as a fireman ? eve : what ? jack : she locked me into a closet , started telling me all these old stories about our history . thought it would jog my memory . make me feel our love . eve : okay , and -- and did it ? jack : nothing . nothing came back . eve : [ sighs ] well , you -- you know ... [ stammers ] i -- i get that . i mean , what a lame stunt . i mean ... i knew -- god , i knew that bitch was up to something . oh , eric tricked me into waiting at the brady pub for this russian informant . jack : excuse me ? eve : no , it does n't make -- you know , it does n't even matter . it was just to get me out of the way so she could -- so she could lock you up . [ scoffs ] that whole , you know , fireman thing , that 's cray - cray even for jennifer . jack : well , no , no . in her defense , it was n't her idea . apparently it was mine a long time ago . she got this from me . a long time ago she was getting married , and i guess i kidnapped her . i mean , yeah , i -- i guess i must have been really crazy to fall in love with her like that , huh ? eve : wait ... jack , you are , uh ... you 're not now . you 're not in love with jennifer now , are you ? hey . you want me . not jennifer , right ? jack : i told you ... despite jennifer 's best efforts ... i have no recollection of ever loving her . i told her the same thing , in addition to the fact that i am committed to my future with you . as mayor ... and first lady of salem . eve : [ giggles ] jack , that 's why we make such a great team . oh , i just wish jennifer could get it through her pea brain . jack : yeah , that -- i think that the -- the -- eve : what ? jack : the reason it was so upsetting is because apparently it was something we shared that was so ... i do n't know , intense ? although , everything that she told me -- this whole love history -- it was if not improbable , it was completely impossible . you know , in the early days of our romance , apparently i could n't even tell her that i loved her . and yet somehow , for some reason , she would n't give up on me . [ laughs ] eve : well , they -- you 're right about it , because it was improbable and -- and that 's why it probably ended . but you and i , jack , oh , my gosh , we ... are so compatible . we want the same things . that 's why we are a force to be reckoned with . and that 's why we are gon na show the people of salem what a true , true ... [ moans ] love story is all about as opposed to that -- that fake news that tripp and haley are trying to sell . so come on . mm . what do you say ? let 's get married . jack : yeah . i 'm up for this . eve : all right . both : [ moan softly ] eve : okay . haley : i 'm sure tripp will be here any minute , but , um , in the mean time can i make you some tea ? smith : no thank you , i 'd rather hear more about your love story . haley : sure , what would you like to know ? smith : i just have a few simple questions about mundane things . like , what 's tripp 's favorite cereal ? haley : [ laughs ] shredded wheat , of course . smith : favorite movie ? haley : `` silver linings playbook . `` smith : favorite baseball team ? haley : chicago . smith : cubs ? haley : no , no , sox . chicago white sox .

[ gloomy music ] ben : nice and quiet on the ride over here . ciara : mm - hmm . i was just thinking about what claire said . about jordan .

[ sighs ] the way you treat me , ben ... [ laughs ] it 's almost like i 'm something special . like i 'm precious . ben : you are . ciara : yeah , well , no one 's ever done that for me before . no one 's ever treated me like that , and if ...

[ scene_break ] roman : no , doc . i would n't lie to kate , and i would n't expect you to lie to john -- at least not outright . what i 'm saying here is this -- when we get back to salem , do you really think our loved ones are gon na ask us what the hell we did or did n't do in this castle ? no . they 're just gon na be damn grateful we 're still alive . and i also doubt very , very much that they 're gon na be real eager to tell us how intimate they got while we were gone . marlena : so we just commit a lie by omission , is that it ? roman : no . no . we do what makes sense . we all put this nightmare behind us , and we all move on with our lives . marlena : and you think we can do that ?

[ scene_break ] nicole : do n't look at me like that , brady . i am serious . can the dead come back to life ? brady : nicole , you know the answer to that . of course not ! nicole : well , then how do you explain me seeing chloe ? brady : nicole , you obviously saw somebody who looked like her -- the same person that i just saw . nicole : no , no , i am serious , brady . i saw her . not someone who looked like her . chloe lane . she was standing there right in front of me . and when i came to , she was leaning over me . nicole : oh , my god . this ca n't be happening . chloe : nicole -- nicole : no , no , no . it ca n't be . you 're dead . brady : nicole , it 's your mind playing tricks on you , and it 's probably my fault . nicole : why do you say that ? brady : i know it hurts you when i talk about chloe . i saw your face when i put my mother 's ring in chloe 's urn and said how i ca n't wait till the two of us are married in heaven . nicole : yeah , you 're right . that hurt . brady : i do n't mean to hurt you , nicole . i do n't . it 's just that chloe and i -- we have a very deep connection . but that does n't mean that there ca n't be a future for us , okay ? nicole : are you sure about that ? [ scene_break ] chloe : for god 's sakes , what are you doing now ? nancy : it 's a beautiful ring . and it obviously meant a lot to brady . i just want to make sure that he has it when it 's time to put it on your finger . chloe : after everything you 've said , i 'm surprised you think there 's even a prayer of that happening . nancy : chloe , i just said that your chances were getting slimmer . every day that he spends with nicole , they get closer and closer -- not to mention the nights . chloe : there 's nothing more that i want than to marry brady , and i think i 've finally found a way to make that happen . dr. weiss : miss lane , i understand you wanted to see me . chloe : yes . i want to have that radical surgery we talked about . nancy : chloe ! chloe : i want you to fix my face to look the way it did before the accident . you said it was still possible . dr. weiss : possible , yes , but as i told your mother , there are no guarantees . i need to tell you exactly what 's involved so that you can then decide if this is really what you want to do . chloe : well , it is . dr. weiss : well , let me finish . um , there are serious risks involved . i mean , first there 's the danger that another infection will develop after the surgery . chloe : i understand . dr. weiss : and once we start , there 's no turning back , as each step is contingent upon the next step . we can alleviate some of your pain , but you will still be in a great deal of discomfort . knowing all this , are you sure you want to proceed ?

[ scene_break ] patrick : look . maybe if we focused on the positive . bo and shawn are both alive . hope : you heard what he said ... on tv , to all of america . billie and chelsea are bo 's family now . patrick : look , maybe he did n't mean it the way it came out . hope : it 's what he said . that 's enough for me . patrick : bo was getting ready to go back down after shawn . hope : but he did n't , did he ? he did n't go back down because he let chelsea stop him . patrick : for a few seconds . i mean , look , it was n't even a minute . if philip and shawn had n't pulled themselves out of there , bo was going back down . hope : i guess we 'll never know , probably . patrick : bo is under a lot of pressure .. hope : because of his daughter . bo has been wrapped around her little finger ever since he and billie discovered their precious little angel . what a miracle , huh ? just think ... if they had n't found chelsea after 18 years , my son would still be alive . well , at least i know where i stand now . i mean , yeah , i was shocked that bo agreed to the divorce so quickly , but i get it . i get it now . he 's moved on . he 's chosen to be with billie and chelsea instead of me and shawn .. [ scene_break ] billie : god , when i think about how scared chelsea must have been down there ... bo : yeah . billie : do you think she thought it was the end of her life ? bo : kids feel like they 're immortal , but she looked pretty frightened down there . billie : i 'll get her some counseling . hell i need counseling . i 've never been more terrified . bo : i know . i 'm sorry . this is my fault . i should n't have yelled at her the way i did . she 's just a kid . [ scene_break ] chelsea : dad -- bo : you can stop with the fake tears . you and i both know you do n't give a damn about my marriage falling apart . in fact , you 're thrilled because your evil stepmother might not be in town to testify against you . chelsea : dad , how can you even think that ? bo : it 's not just what i think . it 's something i know . chelsea : well , i hate to tell you -- bo : cut it out would you ? ! just sit for once . you know , i 've been cutting you way to much slack the last few months because i 've felt guilty for not being around when you were young . i thought i was maybe helping you in some way , but obviously , i was n't . i should have been a hell of a lot tougher on you . then maybe you would stop waltzing around , thinking you can get through life being so selfish and irresponsible , but things are gon na change , starting right now and hopefully it 's not too late , because the way you 've been acting lately , i 'm thinking there 's only one way you are gon na learn your damn lesson . maybe going to prison is exactly what you need .

[ scene_break ] paramedics : let 's get the two of you checked out . philip : what ? i 'm fine . i do n't need anything . mimi : no , i would feel a lot better if you had someone take a look at you , make sure you did n't catch anything gross down there . belle : yes , philip . i want you to do it . do it for claire , okay ? philip : all right , when you put it like that . yeah , lead the way . we 'll go . we 'll be back . [ scene_break ] mimi : belle , sometimes you 're so full of it . belle : excuse me ? mimi : do n't act all innocent . i saw the look on your face when we did n't know who it was climbing up . you wished it were shawn . belle : i was terrified . mimi : yeah , i got that . but for who ? your husband or mine ? belle : i was worried about both of them . were n't you ?

[ scene_break ] mimi : belle , you think that you 're fooling all of us , but i see right through you . and apparently , so did most of america tonight , so i want to thank you for that . it was a really nice wedding gift . belle : the reporter was just trying to make it a bigger story , mimi . mimi : the reporter has eyes , belle , and so do i ? you keep acting like shawn is your husband he 's not . he is mine . so back off .

[ scene_break ] marlena : alex , no ! what are you -- alex , do n't ! do n't do anything ! do n't do anything ! ah , ah ! alex : that 's a good wife . now you 'll only remember what i want you to . [ scene_break ] alex : you would n't take my word for it , but then again , of course , i 'm used to that . however , you just heard marlena tell you herself . after all , it is our wedding night , is n't it , dear , and what else would we be doing other than making love ? i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . they insisted i explain to them what john witnessed when he was spying on us . he really gave me no other choice . john : is that true ? marlena : i ca n't believe you 're asking me to talk about something so personal . you had no right to be watching us . and what happens in my home is not for public viewing , john .. i 'd like you both to leave , and if you ever barge in here again , i will call the police , and i will have you arrested . so go . go ! now ! roman : all right , john . you know what ? let 's go . come on . alex : very good . excellent . you were perfect . marlena : i want to be perfect -- a perfect wife . your wife . i always want to be perfect for you . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] john : did you buy any of that ? roman : [ sighs ] no . not really . john : that was n't doc . she does n't talk like that . roman : you think he 's hypnotizing her ? john : i do n't know what the hell he 's doing to her , but whatever it is , it 's 's against her will . roman : you know that , and i believe you 're right , but , damn it , john , without evidence , we got nothing to take north in on . john : i am more sure than ever , roman , that he 's gon na take her out of salem . he 's gon na kill her . roman : why in the hell would he want to kill her ? john : well , why did ted bundy kill all those women ? he 's a mental case -- a charming one . that 's the worst kind . i 'm not gon na let him do that to doc . i do n't care what it costs . if the only way to stop north is by murdering him , that 's what i 'm gon na do , and for that , they can throw me in prison -- hell , they can give me the death penalty for all i care . [ scene_break ] alex : oh , john , you make it almost too easy -- like leading a lamb to slaughter . [ scene_break ] billie : hey , sweetie . chelsea , how did this happen ? chelsea : i do n't know . i slipped and fell i guess . i just- i do n't want to talk about it anymore , okay ? just do n't ask me any more questions . billie : okay , okay . it 's okay . bo : excuse me . i 'll be right back .

[ sighs ] [ scene_break ] philip : i think it 's time to go home . belle : absolutely .
