[ chuckles ] see what kind of tip she gets . thinks i ca n't even afford a wilted salad . oh , yeah . i ca n't afford a wilted salad . i hate being poor . well , luckily i came up with a backup plan . sami : this is my daughter we are talking about . and i have to do what 's best for her welfare . i have to tell her the truth because she 's gon na find out eventually . if she finds out , she 'll resent me for the rest of my life . rafe : you 're just figuring that out now ? sami : no . but i came up with this plan and i thought it would work , and now i am here trying to live it and it does n't work . it 's not realistic , and it 's not fair to her . come on , rafe . i ca n't live a lie with her about something that is so important . rafe : right . sami : you are not even trying to understand . rafe : well , i told you that i would be there if you needed me , did n't i ? sami : but you do n't think i will . you do n't think that i need you . well , you 're wrong , okay ? you were wrong about everything . and ... i just want you to promise me that no matter what i decide with e.j . , you 're not gon na leave salem . melanie : oh , my god ! oh , my god ! waitress ! waitress , there is something in my salad . i am not paying for that . i want to see the manager now . in fact , if i do n't get , like , some kind of compensation , i 'm gon na call the health department and sue . sue us ? on what grounds ? you put that in there . melanie : what ? and if you do n't come up with what you owe , i am gon na get the manager and it wo n't be pretty . melanie : you ca n't talk to me like that . the customer is always right . pay your bill , or else you 'll be back there scrubbing pots and pans all night . melanie : you can not be serious . brady : i 'll , uh -- i 'll cover that . and two lattes , please . mia : your -- your stepmother ? will : yeah , it -- mia : that woman ? nicole walker ? will : it was a long time ago . forget i said anything . mia : wh - why ? did you not -- did you not like her ? will : what ? mia : i mean , was that why you do n't want to talk about her ? will : no , it 's just -- i mean , it 's not a big deal . that 's all . it does n't mean anything . mia : i 'm obviously making you upset . will : no , no , look , i 'm not upset . mia : uh ... will , did -- you know , thinking about this nicole woman , does it bring back bad memories or something ? will : actually , i was pretty young when nicole was married to my dad . i do n't really remember that much , only what people have told me . mia : and what have people told you ? will : well , i mean , i know my mom hated her . still does . and my dad ... people said she only married him for his money . mia : really ? will : i mean , i heard she also drank a lot , which probably did n't help my dad 's problems at all . you know what ? i really should n't be talking about any of this . mia : will , she 's not -- she 's not an alcoholic or anything , right ? will : uh , i do n't know . maybe . wait . why do you care so much ? d -- do you know nicole ? mia : actually ... i do . rafe : i 'm not promising you anything . sami : what ? rafe : you 're unbelievable . you know that ? all the effort you expended to keep the truth from e.j . now you 're doing a 180 . sami : not that again . rafe : yeah , that again . well , it 's funny , because that 's all you wanted to talk about in the safe house -- how you did n't want grace to be raised by a dimera . sami : well , i still do n't want that . rafe : okay . sami : but what about you in the safe house ? always telling me i should tell the truth ? and you were so understanding , and now you 're just being angry and judgmental . rafe : yeah , well , maybe i 'd be a little less angry and judgmental if you would quit changing your mind all the time . sami : well , it 's a really complicated issue . rafe : no , it 's not complicated , actually . so ... i mean , really , it 's quite easy . are you doing this for grace 's sake , or are you just trying to stop e.j . from marrying nicole ? sami : rafe ... i am not in love with e.j . and i am not jealous of nicole . and i am not so selfish and vindictive that i would use my daughter to try to break up their marriage . and why are you harping on my motivation anyway ? i have n't even decided if i 'm gon na do it . i - i do n't know what i 'm gon na do yet . rafe : oh , that 's funny . here you are wanting me to make promises , and yet you do n't know what you 're doing yourself . sami : i know one thing . i know i do n't want you to go . rafe : well ... i 'm not making this decision based on what you want . i 'm gon na do what i think is best for me and for you ... and for grace . sami : [ sniffles ] rafe : so i 'll see you later . sami : wh -- stefano : so , there 's an outpouring of gratitude , is there ? e.j . : oh , well , nicole was philip 's savior . stefano : ah . now they all come crawling out of the woodwork to worship at her feet . hmm . e.j . : it 's strange . i was feeling completely resolved in my decision to go through with the wedding , as you know . but to see nicole and ... philip 's girlfriend embracing , i just -- i just felt completely derailed . stefano : well , that 's certainly understandable . i mean , if it is more important for nicole to ingratiate herself with the kiriakises and those ding- dong groupies of theirs instead of you and me and tony 's memory , well , then she is a traitor through and through , okay ? to hell with her . nicole : no , stefano . the real traitor is a person you have always known to be a true enemy to the dimeras , and i 'm gon na prove that right now . will : so , how do you know nicole ? mia : it 's -- it 's really -- it 's complicated . see ... i know this girl , this friend of mine . we went to the same school together , and ... she was a good girl . she made some mistakes and got into some trouble , so our school put her in this , uh , mentoring program for high - risk teens or whatever , and , uh , that 's who nicole was -- her mentor . will : ni - nicole was a mentor ? mia : yeah . i mean , she seemed cool . i met her a few times . will : you 're not still in touch with her , are you ? mia : no . no , no , no . of course not . this -- this was forever ago . why ? will : nicole walker has major issues , beyond the whole drinking thing . i mean , i 'm talking about serious issues . e.j . : where have you been ? i thought you were coming straight back here after you left the church . nicole : well , johnny 's medication was left in my car , so i thought i would bring it over to sami 's . e.j . : that 's very thoughtful of you . nicole : well , i thought if i did n't do it , you would , and i know you 're still ... grieving . e.j . : why do n't you get to your point , please ? you told me you were gon na come in here and show me who the real enemy of the dimeras were , so why do n't you cut to the chase ? nicole : fine . sami was n't alone . e.j . : well , i 'm assuming the children were with her , darling . nicole : i 'm not talking about the children . there was a man there about 6 ' 2 `` , black hair , latin - lover looks , goes by the name of rafe . e.j . : as long as the children are all right , i really do n't care who samantha spends her time with . nicole : well , you should care . e.j . : excuse me ? nicole : this guy rafe , i met him before , months ago , right here in this house . sami : uh , please do n't kill me . please , i do n't want to die . rafe : look at me . you 're samantha brady , right ? sami : who are you ? sami : rafe ... i th -- i think your fever broke . i think we won . sami : here , just take her . just be real gentle with her head . yeah , there , you got her . [ laughs ] look at that . rafe : she 's smiling at me . sami : [ laughs ] sami : does n't it feel good to just go with your feelings ? rafe : yeah . sami : you know , your mom has a really big decision to make , grace . and all i want is to do the right thing . for once , i really want to do what 's right , and i do n't even know what it is . i just do n't know what 's best for you . or will or the twins . i do n't even know what 's best for me . [ cellphone ringing ] sami : hello ? hello , rafe ? rafe : damn it . sami : rafe . rafe , it 's sami . are you there ? what am i doing ? i mean , i do n't even know what to say . rafe : hi , it 's rafe . yeah , i need to talk to you . yeah , right now . melanie : i mean , i could have eaten that thing . what if it was poisonous ? brady : i doubt it was poisonous . melanie : that is not the point . look , if i do n't sue this greasy spoon ... the same thing could happen to a poor , unsuspecting customer . brady : okay , you know what ? you really do n't need to keep this charade up for me . melanie : `` charade `` ? yeah , all right . no lawsuit , which means no damages , which means i can not pay you back . brady : do n't sweat it . melanie : you 're always so nice to me . it 's like a pattern with you or something . brady : yeah , i know . i guess i just appreciate your charm . melanie : [ laughs ] too bad philip did n't . i think i might have screwed that up . brady : i think philip was wrong for you anyway . and he and stephanie , you know what ? they 're really solid . melanie : so boring , are n't they ? brady : obviously , they do n't think so . melanie : [ chuckles ] all right , okay . so , what about you ? brady : what about me ? melanie : well , are you or are n't you ? brady : am i or am i not what ? melanie : single . come on , brady . all the girls at titan were always drooling all over you . brady : come on . melanie : seriously . have you looked in a mirror lately ? you register pretty high on the hotness scale . brady : do you want a piece of cake or ... melanie : oh , and he 's modest , too . makes you even cuter . how come you never dated anybody at work ? brady : uh , the boss dating employees -- that 's never cool . melanie : yeah , no kidding . unless there 's somebody else . brady : someb -- uh , no . no , no . melanie : oh , no ! no ! you 're still in love with that awful woman , are n't you ? e.j . : rafe was here ? nicole : yeah , only he was n't rafe . he was the cable guy . e.j . : the cable guy ? stefano : wait , wait , wait . i get it . i remember . you remember now , elvis , there was a mix - up and the guy came to the wrong house . nicole : mm - hmm . and mary let him in , and then i found him snooping around in my bedroom . e.j . : you 're sure this is the same guy . nicole : i 'm positive . what ? you think i 'm making this up ? oh , come on . i mean , you must have records on this guy since he came to salem , right ? maybe a picture or something ? show it to mary . she 'll verify it . stefano : okay . nicole : you will see that i 'm right about this , that i 'm right about sami , too . e.j . : okay , can we not have an argument about samantha , please ? nicole : you know , saint sami , the straight shooter . e.j . : nicole , please . nicole : you know , do n't you get it , e.j . ? all the time you were fretting over your precious sami languishing in the safe house , she was spying on you , on us . [ cellphone ringing ] e.j . : sorry . nicole : that 's sami , is n't it ? e.j . : hello ? sami : e.j . , it 's sami . i need to tell you something now . brady : we were talking about you , remember ? melanie : oh , he 's changing the subject again . brady : i 'm not changing the subject . melanie : look , brady , so you have a thing for your ex - wife . brady : what ? wait , you mean chloe ? melanie : well , yeah , chloe . unless there 's another ex - wife i do n't know about . brady : [ laughs ] no . why do you think i 'm still in love with chloe ? melanie : i may have heard some rumblings around the office back when i worked at titan . brady : what ? melanie : it 's not a big deal . i just -- do n't take this the wrong way , but i never really thought that you and chloe were a good fit anyways . she 's kind of a b - word . [ laughing ] you know what i 'm saying ? brady : no . actually , no . she is a sweetheart , and you would n't say that if you really got to know her . she had to be in order to put up with me all that time . melanie : well , it sounds like you do kind of have a thing for her . brady : no , i 'll never regret all that time i had with chloe , but i 'm just glad that we 're friends now . and i 'm also glad that she found lucas . melanie : you seem glad . brady : all the people that i care about ... i 'm happy for . melanie : we 're not talking about chloe anymore , are we ? brady : see , you got to stop doing that , all right ? melanie : brady , i know what a guy looks like when he 's head - over - heels for a girl . you have it written all over your face . you have it bad for somebody , do n't you ? will : that 's -- that 's just the stuff that she 's done to my dad . i have n't even told you what she tried to do to one of her other ex - husbands . mia : how many exes are there ? will : too many . but i bet this one wo n't last more than six weeks . mia : but she seemed so ... normal when i met her . will : `` normal `` ? believe me , there 's nothing normal about nicole walker . she -- she 's a total psycho . i mean , i think the worst of what she did was to my dad . she burned him pretty bad . it took him a while to get over it . and , i mean , everyone would make excuses for her , like she 's supposed to get a free pass just 'cause she had an awful childhood and a loser dad , you know , who put her in porn movies and stuff . mia : wait . porn movies ? will : uh ... mia : this -- this woman , the mother of that beautiful little girl ... was a porn star ? will : yeah , you -- you want to delete that last part , okay ? look , it does n't mean that much , not anymore . mia : that poor baby . will : [ clears throat ] let 's talk about something else , huh ? mia : no . please , will ... for my friend 's sake , i need to know everything about this nicole woman . e.j . : samantha , what do you want ? sami : look , e.j . , this is really hard to say , so -- e.j . : so why do n't you just not say it , okay ? sami : e.j . ? e.j . ? e.j . : that woman is hopelessly two - faced and manipulative . nicole : i think you used some of those same words to describe me . e.j . : nicole -- nicole : e.j . , please , wait . just listen to me , okay ? i want to marry you . i 've wanted that for a really long time . and i gave you a beautiful baby girl who needs to grow up with both her parents , and i am proud that you are sydney 's father . but we both know sharing a child with you does n't mean a whole lot to sami . i 'm sorry if you 're upset with me for being totally honest about what happened to tony . and i 'm sorry that stephanie and philip and whoever else are glad about it , but i did n't do it for them , e.j . i did it because i believe in the truth . and i need to know the truth from you . are you gon na marry me tomorrow ? brady : you about done with that latte or ... melanie : there you go again , changing the subject . i can take a hint . after everything you 've already done for me tonight , i should probably just leave you alone . brady : hey , i did n't mean that . melanie : i know . you know , this is probably the longest conversation i 've had in months . brady : come on , really ? melanie : i wish i was kidding . you 're like the only person in salem that does n't want to run over me with a truck , even though you 'd have pretty good reason to . brady : stop . melanie : i 'm -- you 've kind of been a friend to me , brady . god knows i do n't have many of those . max , you know , and maggie if she 's had her morning coffee . brady : i do n't believe that at all . melanie : you know how we were talking earlier about being happy ? i just -- i want you to be happy , brady , because you 're a catch . okay , so look , this mystery woman , whoever she is , let me pay you back for being so nice to me by giving you some advice . will : you know , i feel kind of weird talking about nicole like this . mia : yeah , but if i do n't have specifics , you know , if i ca n't back my story up , then my friend is going to think i 'm lying . will : what ? mia : yeah , and then she 'll think you 're lying , too , because you 're just bitter and , you know , you hate nicole for what she did to your dad . will : no , i do n't -- i do n't hate nicole . mia : but you said a second ago she 's a total psycho . will : yeah , well , maybe this whole baby thing softened her up . you know , maybe this time she wo n't try to -- mia : try to what ? will , you were gon na say something . tell me . will : she sort of ... i do n't know , tried to ... kill this one guy . mia : oh , my god . wh - when ? i mean , how ? and who ? will : you know what ? i 'm just gon na shut up now . mia : no , no , no . you can not -- you ca n't say stuff like that and then just drop it . will : well , if you 're really that interested , you can go online . it was all in the newspapers . [ cellphone ringing ] oh , it 's my dad . i got to get this . hello ? stefano : ah . you 're absolutely right . nicole : same guy , was n't it ? stefano : the studly cable guy , as mary so eloquently put it , was indeed rafe hernandez . now , we need a plan . e.j . : later . later , please , father . stefano : fine . e.j . : could you give us a moment alone ? stefano : absolutely . nicole : so , does that really cute smile mean no more doubts ? e.j . : come here . [ doorbell rings ] nicole : [ chuckles ] e.j . : harold ! i 'm sorry . nicole : that 's okay . e.j . : look , i , um ... [ ringing continues ] e.j . : would you excuse me for just one second ? melanie : i know i 'm not an expert in relationships , obviously . [ laughs ] but i have had a lot of experience , and the reason they usually bomb with guys like philip is because i 'm honest with them and i tell them how i really feel , and that usually freaks guys out . am i right ? brady : yeah . yeah , you are . melanie : oh , i know , unfortunately , so , naturally , you 're not going to tell a woman how you feel because you think it 's gon na freak us out . is any of this making sense ? brady : actually , yes . it does . melanie : i know , right ? i should have my own talk show . [ laughs ] look , the bottom line is , if you really care about this woman , then you have to tell her because girls hate games . you got to be honest . you need to tell her that you love her and that you ca n't stop thinking about her . who knows ? maybe something good will come from it . either way , you ca n't be any worse off than you are right now , right ? sister agnes : oh , i am surprised to see you so soon . uh , how did it go with samantha ? rafe : oh , not so well . sister agnes : oh , rafael . rafe : she 's so damn stubborn . sorry . she 's gon na tell this guy the truth , that he 's grace 's father and , you know , once she does that , he 's gon na be back in her life . figure i should just cut my losses . sister agnes : no , no , can you be absolutely certain that she 's going to tell him ? rafe : well , i know sami . and if it 's on her mind and she wants to do it , it 's gon na happen . maybe it 's the right thing to do . maybe it 's not . only thing i know for sure is she 's not letting go of the idea , which means ... there 's no place for me in her life . sami : uh , may i come in ? e.j . : no , you may not . sami : e.j . , i just need to talk to you . it 's important . e.j . : really ? would you like to spy on me again ? sami : what are you talking about ? e.j . : i know what you did , samantha . we all know what you did . sami : what did i do ? e.j . : let me ask you something . why did you feel so compelled to violate my privacy ? or maybe you thought father and i were involved in mayor marino 's murder , hmm ? maybe ... maybe it was your obsession with nicole spiraling out of control because she has a child with me . sami : e.j . , i do n't know what you 're talking about . e.j . : you 're like a dog with a bone , samantha . you do n't want to have me , but no , no , no , you do n't want anybody else to have me , either . sami : you 're talking crazy . nicole : oh , really , sami ? then why was rafe here ? sami : rafe ? nicole : yeah , you know , your beefcake bodyguard . sami : i do n't know what you 're talking about . nicole : sure you do . he was here months ago in some ridiculous cable - man getup . e.j . : sound familiar ? he violated my home , samantha . my house . do you deny that ? do you ? mia : i will not let you keep my little girl , nicole . never . sister agnes : you have to give this more thought . rafe : what i have to do is leave salem . sister agnes : oh , rafe . rafe : and i 'm on my way . i 've already got my plane ticket . i leave tomorrow at noon . sister agnes : well , that 's so soon . rafe : you 're not gon na talk me out of it . i know you mean well , but my mind 's made up . sister agnes : i guess this -- this is goodbye . [ laughs ] i 'm gon na miss that face around here . rafe : yeah ? well , i 'm gon na miss you , too . and listen -- will you do me a favor ? sister agnes : anything . rafe : promise ? sister agnes : mm - hmm . rafe : check in on sami and grace for me , okay ? sister agnes : yes . rafe : okay . sami : rafe was here because ... e.j . : yes ? sami : because i was worried about johnny . i mean , i was worried because he 's living in this house with stefano and with her , and you know that upsets me . oh , come on . you have to believe that , right ? e.j . : we 're through here , samantha . sami : e.j . , n -- come o -- telling e.j . is still the right thing to do . you have to tell him the truth about grace . e.j . : listen ... i owe you an apology . these last few days , losing ... losing my brother ... my emotions have really been all over the place . nicole : i understand . e.j . : it meant a lot to me and to my father that you told us about samantha violating our privacy . it really jarred me ... into realizing that ... you are loyal to us , to me . and i was wrong to have doubted you . sort of jarred me into realizing how much i love you . you 're a wonderful , kind , beautiful person . and aside from wanting to raise sydney in a stable home with two parents , i want you in my life because i think we 'd be incredibly happy . so ... if you will still have me , i would like you to do me the honor ... of allowing me to be your husband for the rest of my life . nicole : oh , e.j . of course , i 'll still have you . i love you . i love you so much . e.j . : i love you . maggie : she left with roman . bo : what ? maggie : they left together . hope : just do n't touch me , okay ? chloe : what are you doing here ? kate : do you want to tell her or should i ? mia : you lied to me about everything . nicole : mia , please . mia : i mean , did you seriously think that you were gon na get away with all of this ? | nicole divulges to ej and stefano that rafe was at the mansion posing as a cable guy and snooping around . sami and rafe fight over her deciding to tell ej the truth about grace . rafe says goodbye and leaves . he later confides in sister agnes that he is leaving town for good . sami heads over to the mansion to talk to ej , but he confronts her about rafe spying for her . sami claims that she just wanted to make sure that johnny was safe , but ej slams the door in her face before she can blurt out the truth about their baby . ej tells nicole that he is sorry for thinking her disloyal and tells her that he wants to be her husband . mia learns all about nicole 's sordid past from will and decides that she will no longer allow her to care for her baby . melanie consoles brady about the mystery woman he is clearly in love with . melanie advises him to tell the person how he feels . |
bo : hope ? hope ! hey ! anything ? hope : nothing out back . i just came from upstairs . bo , they 're not here . bo : no sign of theo or ciara out front , down the street , anywhere -- you know , i was n't gone that -- you know , it 's -- it 's like they vanished . [ scene_break ] ciara : we 're really a long way from home . this is like the country . theo : it 's country ? ciara : riding on that truck for so long was cool . let 's stay here , okay ? theo : okay . heavy . ciara : this is a good place for us . it 's not nice like at home but ... now that i 'm gone , mommy and daddy wo n't have to fight anymore . [ scene_break ] stefano : giovanni and sydney are not upstairs . why has n't samantha brought the children back ? ej : actually , she was here earlier . she asked if she could take the children to see her brother . eric . stefano : and you agreed ? ej : not only did i agree , father , i was delighted . [ scene_break ] nicole : you and sami just need to take a little break and , you know , get things in the right perspective , you know ? and ... you could have a little private r & r , and who knows ? maybe ... maybe this is a good thing . rafe 2 : yeah . who knows ... right ? sometimes an opportunity comes along . nicole : absolutely . and there 's no sense spreading gossip around town . so we 'll just ... make sure this stays our little secret , okay ? rafe 2 : if you say so . sounds good to me . nicole : mm ... mm ! [ chuckles ] you son of a bitch . [ scene_break ] stefano : ah ... i assume that you are going to tell me why you are so happy that samantha is taking my grandchildren to colorado . ej : father , it is going to be even better than we 'd hoped . stefano : what is ? both : ah ! stefano : when she leaves town , she will leave her husband behind . ah . ej : yes , uh , apparently , poor rafe is just not quite the man he was when she married him . [ laughs ] stefano : is that a fact ? i wonder how that happened . ej : i have no idea ! i tell you , i 'm talking to her ... i can barely keep a straight face . barely . so of course i told her take the children . take them ! because the more she has them , the more she 's gon na realize that she does n't want to come back to that idiot . stefano : excellent . excellent . all right , look , are we taking bets here ? because i say that the marriage will be over within the week when she gets back . ej : a week ? no , father . this marriage is gon na be over within days . stefano : all right . ej : days . i mean , think about this just for a second . this has worked out absolutely -- it 's -- it 's perfect ! nobody has any idea of what we 've done . no one knows we put our man in rafe 's hospital bed , and then we put him in samantha 's bed . [ laughs ] and the real boy is locked in an asylum somewhere . stefano : and he does n't even know who he is . ej : it 's almost too delicious . stefano : is n't it wonderful ? and no one will ever know that we made it all happen . [ scene_break ] rafe 2 : you serious ? what -- what the hell was that ? thought this was gon na be our little secret ... and you wanted me to make the first move , so ... nicole : oh , bull ! i know what game you 're playing , and i know exactly what that kiss was about .

how ? caroline : hope , you 're white as a sheet . what did i -- is it something i said ? hope : it 's not you . caroline : what is it ? hope : caroline , i 'm gon na tell you something , because you are bo 's mother , because you deserve to know the truth . caroline : oh ... hope : but it ca n't leave this room . caroline : hand to god . hope : i did a really terrible thing . caroline : oh , whatever terrible thing , god forgives . hope : not if you 're not sorry . i 'm not sorry for what i did . andré did n't kill stefano . i did . i was so sure he was responsible for taking bo away from me , and i wanted him to pay . caroline : good for you . you did the world a service . stefano was no innocent . the court would 've given him a death sentence . my only regret is that i did n't shoot the son of a bitch myself . eduardo : i know that i broke your heart . but we sure did make some beautiful children together . adriana : my children ... they are the only thing i do n't regret . eduardo : they meant everything to me . and so did you . i believed everything i said to you . and i decided that no matter what it took , i was gon na find my way out of the alliance . i was gon na get the blood off my hands . it 's all i ever wanted to do . adriana : and ? eduardo : and i failed . so much time had passed , i let myself think that i had gotten away . they left us alone for such a long time , and we made this life together . we made a good life together . adriana : but it was n't real . eduardo : yes , it was . until the day i left , it was good . it was a good life . there 's no doubt in my mind : had they left us alone , you and i would be together to this day . caroline : did you think i 'd be upset with you ? hope : i murdered a man , caroline . caroline : he was n't a man . he was a devil . he tried to destroy our whole family . he took bo away from us forever . hope : i 'm not sure that 's true anymore . caroline : what do you mean ? hope : i got a phone call from someone . he disguised his voice , so i do n't know who it was . but he said i killed the wrong man . what if it were deimos who took bo away from us ? caroline : do you have proof ? hope : if there is , i do n't have it . but i thought you should know the truth . you deserve to know the truth . caroline : well , i already knew it , you know . i tried to tell victor i saw deimos with dr. malcolm , and he dismissed it . he pointed out that my visions had n't all come true , you know . that was before he had a heart attack . so i am more convinced than ever . hope : i do n't know . i do n't know what to think . caroline : do n't be upset . stefano got exactly what he deserved . hope : but what if it was deimos ? caroline : if deimos is responsible for bo 's death , then we will see that he has to pay for it . nicole : i ca n't toast . i have n't gotten what i want yet . deimos : and what do you want ? nicole : answers . deimos : is there a hidden camera somewhere ? nicole : [ laughs ] i 'm not a reporter anymore . this is personal . deimos : oh . nicole : mr. kiriakis , i do n't know you very well -- deimos : okay , first , that 's my brother 's name . deimos , please . nicole : all right . deimos . i just want to establish -- and this is for my own piece of mind -- i know you did 30 years in greece for -- for murder . and i 'm thinking maybe you got a teensy weensy upset when i called 911 and saved victor 's life . deimos : do i seem upset ? nicole : i just want you to know -- i mean , the truth is , i tried to kill him once myself . deimos : yes , i heard that . and i knew i liked you . but why did you lift a finger to help him now ? nicole : because i 'm trying to be a better person . deimos : good for you . nicole : i get the impression that does n't apply to you . i 've done my research , and i 've seen pictures of helena tasso . should i be worried ? deimos : that i might try to kill you too ? because you look so much like her ? nicole : answering a question with a question is n't putting my mind at ease . deimos : all right . how about this ? i 'm an innocent man . nicole : i doubt that . deimos : all right , let me rephrase . i did not kill her . that was all victor . nicole : so you did the time for his crime , and now it 's his turn to pay . deimos : exactly . nicole : i -- in all the years that i 've known victor , not once did he mention that i had a dead doppelganger . deimos : and yet , i am absolutely certain that 's exactly why he married you . nicole : deimos , when you look at me like that , it ... it makes me uncomfortable . deimos : i 'm sorry . it 's just ... your resemblance , it 's -- it 's uncanny . nicole : is that why you wanted to have coffee with me ? because i look like her ? deimos : no . i live in the here and now . and i 've done my research too . you 've lived a very interesting life , nicole walker . nicole : euphemistically speaking . so have you . and i ca n't even begin to imagine how you wrested victor 's mansion away from him . deimos : that was a long story . nicole : well , i -- i 've got time . and while we 're at it , i 'd love to hear what brought you to salem ... and what else you want . then we wad it up to make it nice and soft . eduardo : i really thought -- after all those years -- i thought i was free . adriana : but ... eduardo : but i was wrong . they still had work for me to do . they found me and made me do it . adriana : why did n't you confide in me ? we would have found the money together . eduardo : it was n't about money . they said they 'd kill you and the kids . the only way to keep you safe was to leave . adriana : i do n't believe that . eduardo : you do n't be -- you saw . you saw what they 're capable of . how could i take that chance with the most -- the most precious people in my life ? the first thing i had to do was destroy my family photos , but i never forgot what they look like . my beautiful bride , standing in front of santa cecilia on our wedding day . rafael in his soccer uniform -- so proud , little trophy . that 's the year i coached the team . you used to complain about the grass stains on his jersey . you remember that ? adriana : i remember . arianna , dario , jumping in a pile of leaves that i had just raked , and -- and gabi ... you caught her first smile on film . i had to sear those images in my memory , because i knew i would never see them again . adriana : why did you have to destroy the photos ? eduardo : they had to believe you meant nothing to me , or walking away would n't have kept you safe . adriana : you could n't have explained any of this to me ? eduardo : if they found out that you knew ... ana , please , i need you to understand . adriana : you -- you walked away because you loved me ? eduardo : yes , i did . and not a day has gone by where i have n't thought about you . i 'll regret not having been here for the rest of my life . maybe it 's not possible to make amends . but i would do anything for you . anything for you and the children -- i would give anything to have my family back . roman : what the hell ? hope : hey , guys . rafe : hey , what 's going on ? roman : is ma okay ? hope : yeah , she 's fine . come on in . roman : hey , ma . caroline : hi . roman : hey . you closed ? caroline : we -- it was very slow , so we just decided to have a heart - to - heart . hope : caroline , it 's all right . they already know . caroline : oh . hope : i told your mom the truth . that i killed stefano . rafe : now why would you tell her that ? caroline : tell the crazy old lady this ? well , i -- rafe : no , no . it does n't matter -- rafe : no , it 's not that . it 's just that ... caroline : oh , i 'll probably forget it anyway . roman : hey , ma , ma , stop . look , look , we know we can trust you . rafe : so , how did this happen to come up in conversation ? hope : because we were talking about deimos . rafe : uh - huh . hope : and how he caused victor 's heart attack . and how maybe -- maybe i killed the wrong man . caroline : well , we know stefano was no good , and now we have deimos . so we have to find a way to stop him , right ? deimos : what else do i want ? hmm . i spent 30 years in a five - by - nine cell because my brother let me take the fall for his crime . i came to salem to settle a score . nicole : mission accomplished ? deimos : mm - hmm . now ... i just want to live . i 'm not gon na let any opportunity pass me by . nicole : well , you better live it up now , because i think you have about two weeks before victor comes calling . deimos : [ chuckles ] that old man does n't have any fight left in him . nicole : you do n't know him as well as i do . deimos : i 'm sure you 're right about that . so , let me ask you something . why do you care ? i mean , surely , you 're not still carrying a torch for this man . never were , from what i gather . nicole : you 're right . i married the man for money . it was n't worth it . but his wife , maggie , she loves him . and i love her . deimos : okay . why ? nicole : because i was engaged to her son , daniel . and he died in a car accident on new year 's eve . deimos : i 'm very sorry . nicole : and after what maggie just went through -- now she might not be able to walk . you should know , deimos , if you are a threat to her in any way , i am a threat to you . deimos : nicole ... may i call you nicole ? please know that i hold no ill will towards maggie , whatsoever . she was an innocent victim , and i pray for her speedy recovery . nicole : you do n't seem like the praying type . deimos : my point is that my conflict with my brother is settled . i 've won . so i assure you there 's nothing for you to worry about . nicole : why am i not sure i believe you ? deimos : that would be because you 've only heard one side of the story . why do n't you let me tell you my side over dinner tonight ? from what i understand , my new chef makes a killer soufflé . roman : okay , ma , what do you want me to do about deimos ? caroline : well , obviously , he kidnapped bo . he tortured him , and he kept medical treatment away from him . roman : yeah , well , listen , you could very well be right , but we need proof . rafe : well , it 's gon na take some time to do this right . the guy 's savvy . caroline : he certainly is . he swindled victor and maggie out of everything , and he almost killed both of them . hope : wait a minute , wait a minute . i thought maggie 's fall was an accident . caroline : are you sure about that ? roman : but victor never implicated deimos . surely he would 've done that . caroline : well , with a man like deimos , i do n't believe in accidents . i mean , he -- stefano 's gone , but deimos is here , and we have to find a way to get rid of him . [ dramatic music ] adriana : how i wish i could believe you . how i wish i could forgive . you have made the pain so fresh again . eduardo : i know , i know -- dario : what the hell did you do to her this time ? hope : i hope you 're not mad at me . rafe : of course not . hope : i thought caroline deserved to know the truth . rafe : you do n't owe me an explanation . hope : yes , i do . rafe , you have done so much for me . you put your career on the line , and an awful lot more . i know you 're worried that caroline might slip up and say something . rafe : so you think caroline 's mind 's as sharp as ever ? hope : well , sharper than mine right now . feel like i 'm careening from one nightmare to the next . rafe : hope , i wish that there was something i could do . hope : you 've done a lot for me . plenty . i 'd be in jail without you . actually , i think i 'd probably be insane . and here i am again , leaning on you . rafe : well , lean away , 'cause i 'm not going anywhere . how 's ciara ? hope : she 's -- [ phone beeps ] hope : oh . that 's her . oh , yeah . she 's on her way to the dimera mansion right now to watch thomas . she 's working for abigail and chad part - time . rafe : that 's great . hope : yeah . it is great . i just really hope staying busy helps keep her ... you know -- her mind off everything else . rafe : good thing she was n't there earlier . hope : my god , thank god . i ca n't believe that ben actually made it into the house past the dimera guards . rafe : he 's not gon na be going anywhere for a long time . [ sentimental music ] oh , brother . hope : you want to go over and see what 's going on ? rafe : no , i do n't , 'cause every time i play peacekeeper , dario just creates another argument . they need to work it out by themselves . hope : i really hope things work out for your family . rafe : me too . dario : have n't you made her cry enough ? get out of here . eduardo : maybe you could take a moment , let your mother say what she wants dario : she 's already said it a hundred times . she does n't want you . she does n't need you . and neither do we . now , are you gon na get out of here , or do i have to make you ? adriana : dario ! déjalo . déjalo , hijo . dario : mami , how can i let him go when he does n't give us any peace ? tell me you 're not letting him get to you . you 're not gon na let him back into our lives , are you ? nicole : maybe next time . i 'm busy tonight . deimos : okay . here , why do n't you take my card ? nicole : what 's it gon na say ? `` deimos kiriakis , menace to society `` ? ceo of titan industries ? deimos : mm - hmm . nicole : you do work fast . deimos : this has been 30 years in the making . as you can infer , i 'm a man of infinite patience . therefore , i 'll be awaiting a call . nicole : do i really look like her ? deimos : i would swear the two of you were twins . nicole : well , obviously , we 're not related . i mean , my last name , it 's mendez , and my family tree -- well , it 's -- it 's pretty messed up . deimos : well , then , we have something in common . nicole : am i like her in any other way ? deimos : she was ... one of a kind . and so are you . i can see that already . so i guess time will tell . [ dramatic music ] adriana : maybe -- maybe we have all lived with this pain for too long . dario : you ca n't forgive him . adriana : hijo , every night , we used to say our prayers together . perdona nuestras ofensas , como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden . none of us is free of sin . are we , dario ? and i will continue to pray . eduardo : that 's all i can ask . adriana : mijo , walk me home , please . eduardo : adriana , could we ... continue this conversation tomorrow , over breakfast ? dario : what ? no . adriana : sí . mañana por la mañana . eduardo : i 'll be in touch . [ light instrumental music ] hope : rafe , i got to be honest . if i did kill the wrong man , a part of me really does n't want to know . rafe : i understand . hope : on the other hand , what if deimos was behind what happened to bo ? how can i let that go ? rafe : you ca n't . hope : i ca n't . but what if i put all of this time and energy into finding out the truth , and it turns out that deimos had nothing to do with what happened to bo ? kate : look who 's back . nicole : yeah , i 'm having déjà vu , myself , only this time , you 're dressed , and there is n't a half - dead man sprawled out on the couch . kate : what are you doing here , nicole ? nicole : you living here now , kate ? come and go as you please ? kate : actually , henderson let me in . nicole : avoiding the question , are we ? kate : oh , i do n't think that 's any of your concern . nicole : you 're right . it 's not . deimos : i 'll have henderson show you out . kate : you never answered my question either , nicole . nicole : right . i 'm here to deliver a warning to your charming loverboy here . deimos : charmed , i 'm sure . kate : let me guess . you and theresa are going to bury his company with your new line of retro parachute pants . nicole : no , i said i would bury him if he goes near victor or maggie again . deimos : and as i assured the lovely nicole , i have no intention of doing that . kate : i think it 's time for `` the lovely nicole `` to leave . nicole : i hope you know you can do better . kate : so , what 's really going on with you and nicole ? and do n't insult my intelligence by telling me it 's nothing . you should know that any friend of nicole walker 's is an enemy of mine . deimos : what is going on between you two ? kate : where would i ever begin ? i do n't know what your interest is in her , but believe me , i have no interest in playing any games with men . deimos : you 've already made that very clear . kate : so , if you 're one of those greeks who like to have their baklava and eat it , too , then i 'm done . what ? deimos : you 're irresistible when you 're feisty , which is to say you 're always irresistible . nicole who ? kate : so , you think you can kiss me and you expect me to ... deimos : of course i do . i want to make love to you in every single room of my new home .

kate : i do n't understand why this would be a problem . why would n't we want him on the show ? i mean , he 's a world - renowned surgeon . daniel : well , hardly world - renowned , kate . kate : oh , please , do n't start with the false modesty again . daniel : i 'm not being modest . i just -- kate : okay . fine , fine , fine . you 're well - known in this country . would you concede to that ? i mean , when people hear your name , i 'm sure the first thing they think of is what you can do with your hands . and that face -- was a face ever made for tv ? i 'll tell ya . daniel : let me just be clear . chris : oh , ms . roberts . oh , thank heavens i found you . i tried to call your cellphone , but it went to voicemail . it must have been turned off . so , then i went to your house , but then i thought maybe you were here at the pub because i know how you like to have a nosh here , and you can afford it with that little figure of yours -- lucky lady . oh , i 'm so sorry to interrupt , chloe , whoever you are . hello . um , anyway , we have a major disaster on our hands . i am completely beside myself , if that 's not obvious . kate : okay , sweetie . calm down . calm down , and tell me what 's wrong , okay ?

[ sighs ] chris : you know , i checked everywhere , ms . roberts , before i came over here . kate : you called every studio in the vicinity ? chris : every single one of them . you know i 'm a multitasker , so i was able to call them as i ran . well , it was n't really a run . it was more of a quick step , but -- kate : please . shh , shh . just for a minute . i just need you to be quiet for a minute , okay , so i can think about this . chris : sorry . kate : [ sighs ] chris : you know what this crisis makes me realize , ms . roberts ? i need to step it up at the gym -- maybe do some yoga or something . kate : okay , all right . that 's it . it 's just it , honey . you 're just making me more nervous , okay ? so , you need to go home , make some phone calls , do some e - mails , okay , until i find a way to figure this out . then i 'll call you . chris : okay , okay . please do that , ms . roberts . you know , 'cause anything you need , okay ? i just so want this show to be a huge success and run for years and years and years . okay . of course , it could be a big flop and be canceled in 13 weeks , but -- kate : go ! chris , go . chris : sorry . i 'm gone . i 'm gone , i 'm gone . kate : god , this is just great . daniel : no luck ? kate : no , it 's a nightmare . i get the network brass all fired up , and now i ca n't do the show . chloe : well , maybe it 's for the best . since i was just offered that lead at the vancouver opera , it probably would n't have worked out for me anyway . kate : you are already committed to hearth and home , chloe . daniel : but if she does n't want to do it ... kate : well , then , she should n't have signed the contract . daniel : now , kate , there 's got to be somebody else out there who would be more fitted to -- kate : you know , daniel , i 'm handling this . thanks . chloe : well , you could find somebody else . i mean , now with everything on hold ... kate : nothing 's on hold . i have a host , i have a guest , and i am going to make this show work . hope : they must have jammed the radio signals . yeah , the phones , too . roman : well , if we 're not making any arrests , hopefully it wo n't matter . hope : any sign of our buyer ? roman : nope . but it looks like our dealer brought along a few buddies . hope : they armed ? roman : ca n't tell , but probably . hope : oh !

[ sighs ] and e.j . and i ... we grew closer . and we fell in love . and i was so happy . i was genuinely happy . and then , just like that ... it was over . [ sniffles ] and my little girl was gone . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . [ sobs ] it 's just every time i talk about it ... oh , mia ... losing my little girl made me realize how precious life is . it made me appreciate everything i have in my life -- a man who loved me , who wanted to have a family with me . and when you said that you would give me your baby ... everything was complete . [ sniffles ] please , mia . do you understand now ? all those horrible things that i did ... that 's not me anymore . you have to believe that . maggie : well , do they know what caused the fire ? kate : no . no , they do n't . maggie : well , thank goodness no one was hurt . kate : well , yes . i mean , definitely . that 's the most important thing , but the show must go on . you know what i mean ? maggie : yes , it must , and it will , and i 'm gon na see to it personally . kate : excuse me ? maggie : chez rouge is gon na be your new studio . kate : chez rouge ? maggie : yes , you can set up your cameras there , your lights -- whatever it is you want . it 's a perfect fit , do n't you think ? chloe : but , maggie , you have a restaurant to run . you ca n't just shut it down . kate : well , no , no , no . because we could tape after hours , right ? maggie : well , there you go . kate : well , and we do n't have to tape every day , either , and of course we 're going to compensate you for the use of the restaurant . maggie : kate , you do n't have to sell me . i would n't have offered if i did n't think it was a good idea . and it is good for publicity , too , right ? kate : definitely , girlfriend . thank you so much . thank you , thank you . i will call you . maggie : you 're welcome , and , as they say , i 'll see you on the set . kate : wow . wow , wow , wow . can you believe that ? this is fabulous . so , the two of you -- still on board , right ? roman : hope ... hope , what the hell 's going on here ? what 's wrong ? hope : i overreacted . i 'm sorry . i apologize . bo told you to stay away from me , did n't he ? roman : yeah . yeah , he did . hope : that 's why you were acting so strange at the pub yesterday . roman : would you tell me what the hell is going on ? do you have any idea why he wants us to stay away from each other ? hope : it 's ridiculous , okay ? i ca n't even say it . come on . we have a job to focus on . roman : no , no , no . talk to me . tell me what 's going on here . hope : here we go . here 's our guy . here 's the buyer . damn it . roman : what ? hope : one of our guys is on the move , and i think he spotted me . nicole : mia ... you do believe me , do n't you ? mia : i do n't know what to believe . nicole : i 'm the same person i was before , when you gave me the baby . nothing 's changed . mia : see , the thing is , is it has . i had my doubts , nicole , even back then , but i convinced myself that this was the right thing for her -- for my baby . but now ... i do n't think it is . nicole : you do n't mean that . mia : you were so , so good about lying about your past . how do you expect me to trust you ? nicole : i never lied about my past . mia : no , but you did keep stuff from me . what else have n't you told me ? nicole : nothing . i swear . it 's all out in the open now . mia : i know . i 'm sorry , nicole , but ... sydney is my daughter . she belongs with me . nicole : okay . if you think it 's for the best , then okay . mia : you 're gon na let me go ? nicole : yeah . i mean , why should i fight you ? you 've obviously already made up your mind . go . let 's not prolong this thing , huh ? but just understand something . there could be repercussions . mia : what repercussions ? nicole : well , when the truth does come out about sydney , yes , things will be bad for me , but it will be worse for you and sydney . kate : so , can i count on the two of you ? hello ? is anyone gon na answer ? chloe : yeah , you can count on us . at least on me , anyway . kate : daniel ? daniel : yeah , i 'm in . kate : fabulous . chloe : so , uh , the segment that i 'll be doing with daniel -- what will it be ? kate : i think it could do with healthy food choices . daniel : food choices ? i 'm a doctor , not a nutritionist . and you know what ? it 's really not my area of expertise . kate : well , then you can fake it . i mean , you 're good at faking things , right ? daniel : kate ... chloe : well , you 're not gon na make me cook , are you ? kate : no . no , the food will all be prepared , but i might ask you to sample an entrée or two . chloe : okay . that i can handle . kate : good .

abigail : for renewing your vows , gabi . it 's always been gabi . [ door opens ] andré : there you are . i saw the gardener cut some fresh flowers this morning . i decided to make a bouquet for the bride . the fact that it 's your and chad 's day for renewing your vows , i ca n't tell you , i 've been so happy all morning . what 's wrong ? abigail : me . i was wrong . my god , how could i have been so stupid ? [ soft dramatic music ] kate : it 's now or never . you have to tell him how you feel . go ahead . do it . gabi : kate , i -- kate : look , if you do n't talk to him , if he renews his vows -- gabi : i know . i know . i know . i 'm gon na regret it for the rest of my life . you keep saying that . i just -- i ca n't -- i ca n't do that . kate : okay , you tell me . i want you to look me in my eye -- look me in the eyes and tell me that you do n't love that man . you ca n't do that . you ca n't , because you do love him . i know you do . this could be your last chance to be with the man that you love . gabi , you have to do it . you have to talk to him . do it . andré : it 's going to be a wonderful ceremony . why would you say something like that ? abigail : ever since that night in the warehouse , i thought that he ch -- chose me first because he loved me , but look . andré : yeah . gabi signed chad 's high school yearbook . that 's what kids do . but why is that important ? abigail : gabi has always been into baseball , and she 's really good at it . so what it says here , it 's talking about how she was giving him secret pitching lessons . andré : oh , sweetheart , do n't read into things from some ancient memory . you were n't even part of his life then . why does that have any meaning now ? abigail : it matters because he knew that when he threw the antidote across the room that gabi was gon na catch it . they even had -- they had a secret code . so when he came to me first , it was n't because he loved me more . it was because he believed in her -- not me , gabi . andré : you 're overthinking things . now , as i was talking to you before about your memory -- abigail : no , andré , i know what i know , okay ? for weeks , i 've been telling myself , `` no , he loves you more . he came to you first . that 's why . `` but now i know that 's not true . the one that he loves the most is gabi . gabi : no , i ca n't . i ca n't . kate : gabi , go . gabi : no , i ca n't . i ca n't do anything to risk chad and abigail 's marriage . i ca n't . i ca n't do that . kate : okay , i understand . but i am not going to let you make this mistake , okay ? i 'm gon na go over there , and i 'm going to get him , and i 'm gon na bring him back to you . gabi : what ? kate : yeah . gabi : no , no . kate : okay , now i 'm going to have to run after him . gabi : no , kate , really . just do n't . please , no , no , no , please . you have to take me seriously . i know that you 're trying to help , but you have to listen to me , please . kate : why are you being so stubborn ? gabi : because ... because i ca n't hurt them . seriously . kate : okay . okay . fine . it is your decision . now i 'm going to go to the vow renewal , but no matter what happens , i know that you and chad belong together . [ soft music ] brady : so here 's the official update . travel agent says it 's gon na be about two weeks till we get our ids . so i 'm thinking to myself , `` well , maybe brazil , argentina . `` we could head off to either one of those . depends on whether you want to samba , whether you want to tango . nicole ? nicole . hi . nicole : sorry . brady : what 's wrong with you ? what 's going on ? nicole : nothing . brady : nothing ? you have n't listened to a word i 've said . are you on another planet ? where are you ? nicole : brady , it 's just that , um , i 'm worried that this whole thing 's gon na come crashing down . and , my god , you 've risked so much for holly and me already , and i - i just do n't want you to get hurt too . brady : hold on . i 'm not gon na get hurt . nobody 's gon na get hurt . i 've told you , i got this handled , all right ? this -- this -- this scooter jerk , he -- he thinks you 're misty circle from some movie . he does n't know you 're nicole walker . he does n't know i 'm brady black . and he certainly does n't know what we 've been up to , right ? nicole : right . brady : right . so we stick it out . we got two weeks to go , and then we say good - bye . bye - bye , scooter . bye - bye , hillary . bye - bye , moosehead lane . nicole : brady , we do n't have two weeks . brady : what do you mean , we do n't have -- all right , you 're -- you 're making me very nervous . i 'm very worried here . so ... is there something you 're not telling me ?

'cause , um , i kidnapped holly and went on the run , did n't i ? brady : yeah , well , you happen to love her , and you need her in your life . she 's your baby . nicole : so mothers get a pass ? brady : yeah . [ laughs ] maybe they do sometimes . 'cause you know , as a mom , everything -- every single thing you do is going to affect her . the fact is , being a mother has changed you , really . i happen to think you 're a better person . nicole : you really see me that way ? brady : yup . i just wish you would . [ soft dramatic music ] andré : let me ask you something . [ chuckling ] you know how selfish i can be . but do you really think i would have wanted you for my brother if i did n't think you were right for the family , right for him ? and not to mention thomas . abigail : andré , i 'm not gon na use my son to try to hang on to chad . andré : but you do know i think that you want the best for him . abigail : yeah , of course , always . andré : i do n't think you know this ... [ sighs ] but you changed my life . abigail : what ? andré : no , seriously . the way you have such intense love for your husband , it brought out the best in me . it brought out the best in chad . abigail : i doubt that . andré : do n't . believe it . yes , gabi was part of chad 's past , but you 're his future . believe that . abigail : just , i 'm not sure . andré : get sure ! i tell you what you 're going to do . this is your day , yours and chad 's . embrace it . embrace the future . yes , he saved gabi 's life . but he also saved yours . but do n't punish him for doing the right thing . abigail : maybe ...

xander : i looked in on the doctor examining her , and i knew she was n't right . the next thing i knew , she was having a seizure . sarah : oh , my god , my poor baby . xander : she stopped breathing after that . and they told me they -- they said there was nothing they could do for her . sarah : oh , you saw her die , and you did n't tell me ! xander : i would 've rather died myself ... than let you lose her . how ? sarah , how could i tell you that she had died ? i had to think of something . i had to come up with some way that you would n't have to feel that pain , so i -- sarah : so you gave me someone else 's baby . you -- you let me take her home and care for her . you let me love her so much that i would die . i would die for her . you let me see her through cancer and be terrified that i was gon na lose her . god , and when eric and i found out that she was cancer - free , you kicked him out so that you and i could celebrate . i mean , did you ever think for a second that we 'd find out the truth ? xander : i just -- i thought i could handle it . sarah : handle it how ? xander : i just love you so much . sarah : oh , my god . how can you say that to me ? how can you say that when you 've hurt me more than i 've ever been hurt in my life . you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know steve : when kayla told me adrienne died , first thing that popped into my head was , i got ta call my sister . jack : yeah . steve : she 'll know what to do . jack : yeah , yeah . steve : [ chuckles ] jack : i 'm kicking myself right now . i 'm kicking myself for being furious at you for missing that funeral . i should 've known . i should 've known something was seriously wrong . you would 've gone through hell to be at adrienne 's funeral . steve : how could you know that some crazy son of a bitch put a microchip in my brain ? jack : hey , rolf is the reason that i 'm here . it never occurred to me what he would go through to bring stefano back . steve : i heard i did some pretty bad things . especially to marlena . jack : it was n't you . we all know that you were n't in control when you missed adrienne 's funeral , you were n't in control when you signed those divorce papers . you never would 've been that hurtful . steve : no , not deliberately . jack : what are you talking about ? steve : before all this happened , before sefano 's people grabbed me , i made a bad decision . i was trying to be noble for my country . when my eye was hacked , i thought , well , it 's my responsibility to put everything right . but i should 've made kayla my priority . if i had come back here sooner , this nightmare -- none of it would 've happened . kayla would ... never have left me . jennifer : i know how steve feels , just losing all that time and then learning that someone that you love so much has died . kristen : i 'm afraid steve has a lot of pain ahead . jennifer : we saw you holding him when we came in . kristen : i felt like i had just punched him in the gut . jennifer : wow . what 's ahead for you and steve right now ? kristen : you know , up until now , i was just his doctor . i managed to get him through that surgery , i thought -- i thought for sure i botched it . and then in recovery , he woke up and he did n't remember who he was , so ... as his doctor , i felt the best treatment for him was for him to remember how much we loved each other . so i sat at his bedside , and i ... i told him the story of us . jennifer : that is quite a story . kayla : yeah . when we met , and i recited our vows , and ... the wedding on the boat . jennifer : yeah . is that what did it ? is that what brought his memory back ? kayla : well , i do n't know if it was just physiological or maybe it 's just a coincidence that it happened at that time . jennifer : no , kayla , it 's not just coincidence . he remembers your great love . uh , does he know about justin and -- kayla : yeah . yeah . jennifer : oh , my goodness . so that has to be so difficult for him to -- kayla : and for justin , what he 's going through . jennifer : right , it 's so difficult for him , too . kayla : it 's not that he does n't want steve back or for him to be okay . he does . it 's just that this changes everything . we had come to be so close , you know ? i mean , really , we have been there for each other through such sad times . i mean , i did n't really think that i would fall in love again . but i have . deeply . [ elevator bell dings ] brady : oh , so -- kristen : i do n't know what to say , eric , but i -- i am so sorry , and i will pray for you . eric : thank you . thank you both . kristen : and i know you hate my guts for good reason , but ... you uncovered the truth . you got the dna results , and i thank you , i thank you so , so much from the bottom of my heart . brady : uh , let 's give them -- give them some privacy , okay ? xander : i know you 're still in shock . sarah : you could say that . xander : all i can say is i was trying to protect you . i 've never loved anyone the way i love you . sarah : do you actually think that that 's love ? you lied to me about the most important person in my life . my god , you 're delusional . xander : i did n't want you to lose your child . sarah : so you gave me brady and kristen 's ? xander , you let them think that their child was dead . that is n't love . it 's a classic move from the kiriakis family goon . and it did n't work . these are my last hours that i get to have with the baby that i thought was mine . xander : you do n't know that . sarah : eric 's probably telling brady and kristen now . they 're gon na want their daughter . so you have any big ideas on how -- how am i supposed to let her go ? xander : you do n't have to let her go . sarah : what are you talking about ? xander : we can take her , sarah . we can take her and run away right now and never come back . in this time of social distancing , doug : steve will get his memory back , sweetheart , just like hope did . julie : right , right . doug : you worried about something else ? julie : well , it 's just that everybody in salem has always thought of steve and kayla as sort of a legendary love story , you know ? doug : yeah . julie : sort of like us . doug : yeah . not at the same level . julie : oh , of course not . steve and kayla came very close . it 's just that time passes . it intervenes , people change . doug : you trying to tell me something ? julie : no , sweetheart . no , nothing could ever change the way i feel about you . doug : oh , okay . julie : no , i -- i 'm concerned about justin . justin : you two seem to be having a serious conversation . kayla : steve regained his memory . justin : that 's amazing . jennifer : um , i -- i need to tell doug and julie . i 'm gon na tell them in person , i think . kayla : thank you . there 's more . justin : okay . kayla : i told steve about adrienne . it hit him pretty hard . justin : yeah , i imagine it did . they were very close . well , breaking it to him must have been awful for you . kayla : yeah , it was one of the hardest things i 've ever had to do . i mean , everybody loved adrienne . the people who loved her most were you and sonny and steve . jack : hey , your eye was hacked . you were arrested . it was n't your fault you had to leave town . steve : no . but it was my fault i did n't come back here sooner . i love kayla more than anything on this earth . but instead of running back here to be with her , i tried to be some kind of damn hero . jack : man , you did what you thought you had to do . i know , i 've been there . ask jennifer . she was madder than hell at me , but she never really gave up on me . steve : when kayla found out what happened to me , when she knew i could be saved , she did n't give up on me either . she did the surgery that brought me back . but look what i did to her life . she got those divorce papers . she thought i signed them . she probably said , `` well , that 's it , i 'm done . `` she 's a survivor , jack . she 's got courage to burn . so she moved on . she made a new life for herself . and maybe she likes that life too much to give it up . maybe she 's over me . xander : i told you we can go anywhere in the world for our honeymoon , and you wanted to take mickey with us . sarah : her name is n't mickey . it 's rachel . and there is n't gon na be a honeymoon . xander : the company jet is sitting on the tarmac . the pilot just is waiting for a call from me . we 're all packed . sarah : i do n't care . god . xander : we can do this , sarah . we can take mickey and disappear for the rest of our lives . it does n't matter where we are , as long as we 're together , as long as we 're a family . we can get out of here before brady and kristen show up and try and take her away . sarah : are you crazy ? you 'd have to be to think that i would go anywhere with you . i never wan na see you again for as long as i live . seresto , seresto , seresto . justin : you have been through a hell of a time since steve got rescued . you have to be exhausted . i came here to take you home , make you some dinner . but i do n't wan na put any more pressure on you . kayla : no . you 're being wonderful . justin : i just want you to know that if you need any backup ... i 'm here . if you need to stay here with steve , i understand . jack : you really think kayla 's had it with you ? steve : she 's with justin now . jack : so you know . steve : yeah , i do . and i get it . justin 's a good dude . he 's solid . reliable . everything i 'm not . jack : he was a wreck when adrienne was killed . steve : kayla helped him , right ? jack : yeah . he helped her , too . she was in bad shape , too , when she thought that you left her for good . steve : so then it makes sense . they turned to each other when i was gone . jack : now you 're back . eric : you were only with us -- only with us for one day , and ... i just want you to know that that one day was the greatest day of my life . and i 'm going to miss you . i 'm going to miss you until the day that i die . and i 'll always love you . i will always love you . [ door opening ] kristen : [ sighs ] well , i still do n't know why you insisted on us coming back here . i mean , we should go get our baby . brady : no , no , we can't . we ca n't do that . kristen : why ? why not ? she should be with us . brady : kristen , because eric and sarah just found out the truth . they just found out the truth . they need time to say good - bye . kristen : okay . brady : they 've been living with rachel as if she was their daughter , and they just found out that they do n't have a daughter . it 's not fair . we need to at least give them one more night with her . xander : after everything we 've been through each other , you ... you ca n't say you never wan na see me again . sarah : yes , i can . xander : please . you 've got to give me a chance to make this right . sarah : i do n't have to give you squat . get out of my face so i can say good- bye to my baby . xander : sarah , i just love you so much . sarah : i do n't -- i do n't love you . i 'm gon na take the baby upstairs , and i 'm going to get her ready for bed , and if you are still in this room when i come back downstairs , i swear to god i will call the police and have you arrested . hi . hi . this is what it 's all about . steve : you know it was kayla who got me out of that black hole stefano put me in . she just sat next to the bed right there . she talked and talked to me . that way she looked at me -- i was sure she still loved me . i was sure we were still married . still us . she told me about adrienne . then she told me about ... her and justin . i guess it 's just not gon na be that simple . jack : [ sighs ] not that simple is different than impossible . steve : i do n't know , man . it might be too late for us . this time i might 've lost her for good . kayla : it 's not that i do n't wan na go home with you . justin : i get it . i get it , you just saved steve 's life . and you 're still worried about him . you ca n't leave him right now . so , i 'll go . kayla : i do n't know what to say . justin : you do n't have to say a thing . you know where to find me if you need me . kayla : [ sighs ] justin , wait . [ sighs ] oh , my sweet , little girl . i know i 'm supposed to say good - bye to you , but -- but i do n't know how i 'm gon na let you go . kristen : oh , god , i 'm aching to hold our baby in my arms . i have waited so long , brady . i do n't think i can wait another day . brady : eric and sarah , they just started grieving , kristen . but we -- we get to stop . 'cause we have a beautiful future ahead of us , the three of us . kristen : i know -- i know we do , i just -- i do n't understand . i mean , how could the hospital make such a terrible mistake ? brady : that 's the part i did n't tell you about . it was n't a mistake . it was xander . | brady told kristen that rachel did n't die . he told her the baby that they buried was eric and sarah 's baby . sarah confronted xander about switching the babies . she asked him how he could make her think that mickey was hers . kayla told steve that adrienne was dead . he could n't believe it . she told him how adrienne died . she comforted him when he broke down . steve wanted to know when adrienne died . kayla told her last year . he said he should have been there . she said there was nothing he could do . he was upset that he was never going to see adrienne again . jack and jennifer went to see steve . kayla told them that steve had his memory back . jack wondered what was wrong with steve . kayla said she told him about adrienne . kristen could n't believe that rachel was alive . she thought it was a coincidence . brady said it was n't . kristen was afraid to get happy . he showed her the dna test . she understood why she was drawn to mickey . xander said he lied about sarah 's baby for her . she was upset that her baby died and he did n't tell her . he told her what happened after the baby was born . he told her what happened when he saw her baby die . she was upset that he gave her someone else 's baby . he told her that he did it because he loved her . she said he hurt her more than anyone . |

[ cellular phone rings ] carson : excuse me . this is palmer . hill : vin ramsell was just apprehended . carson : i 'll be right there . sorry , you 're going to have to excuse me . i have to go down to the police station . jack : what is going on here ?

jennifer : our show , `` the jack and jennifer show `` -- i mean , we discussed it , but -- jack : wait , wait , have you been working with oil - based paints in a closed room again ? our show is in the early stages of development only . and b - besides , we were going to be doing it in the safety of a studio . jennifer : i know , i know . ricky diaz came up with this great `` in the house `` idea , and i really liked it , and i tried to tell you , but you 've been so busy , and the reason we have to go on the air today is because the station did n't pick up hannah 's contract -- `` hannah 's helpful household hints . `` she 's on a plane to bolivia to star in some south american novela . they have three shows that she did n't do . they have to fill the time slots . it 's us or nothing , jack . jack : i have no idea who hannah is , but here 's my helpful hint to her -- do n't drink the water . do you have any idea what it takes to put up a television show ? oh , you think you do because of `` the jennifer deveraux show , `` but it takes more than lights , camera , and a little bit of greasepaint mixed in . it takes preparation , coordination , uh , uh ... jennifer : production ? i know all of these things . jack : of course you do . but it 's live , jennifer . live television goes right through that camera , goes right out into tv land to those people 's homes . jennifer : live , live , live . that 's what we 're going to do , but it 's all under control because we have ralph . jack : oh , why did n't you say so ? ralph ! we have a ralph ! of course we have a ralph , so we have no problems here . we do n't need anything else . jennifer : okay , will you stop kidding around ? stop kidding around . you met ralph . just calm down . you already met ralph . ralph . jack : ralph ! well , here he is . look , ralph shmenkmen -- oh . oh , look , i want to talk to you . you know , you do n't look like a shmenkmen . you do n't even look like a r - a - a - a - alph . in fact , you do n't look like -- you do n't look like a brick or maybe a thor . maybe a randy . jennifer ... kate : belle , your father 's lking to brady right now . belle : that figures . kate : what do you mean ? belle : nothing . it 's just i 'm getting used to having to wait in line to talk to my parents . but i am 18 years old , right ? and i should be able to take care of my own problems . kate : oh , belle , i 'm sure if your parents knew how upset you were , they 'd want to know about it . belle : kate , i do n't know what 's wrong with me . john : so what 's on your mind ? uh , first things first . how 's chloe ? brady : okay . and thank you for asking . listen , dad , i want you to know how awesome you 've been about giving me this time off during this whole ordeal , and that 's why i just feel really bad about ... john : what is all this about ? brady : i 'm sorry . i know that i 'm the one who basically talked you into giving me a job here , okay ? john : hey , hey , hey . i do n't want you feeling like that at all . i could n't be happier with the way things have worked out . brady : i really do n't know how to say this . john : hey , come on . just spit it out , son . brady : i quit . bo : `` people in gh places . `` wow , that 's kind of scary . who are these people ? you want to tell me ? vin : i want to call my lawyer . bo : oh . hmm . abe : you know , once he asks to have his lawyer present , there 's nothing we can do but let him cool his heels for a while before he makes the call . bo : good point . vin : ha ha . bo : it 's going to take us a few hours to process you , so you 'll have the pleasure of sitting in one of our jail cells staring at the walls while you contemplate your miserable existence before you go on record . ooh ! bo : you 're playing by my rules now , punk . abe : bo ! bo : take him to holding . vin : i better be released before the end of the day , or else . bo : or else what ? this is a fake line to catch thieves . vin : or i 'm gon na file a suit for false arrest . bo : get him the hell out of here . carson : well done , people . now that is a win for the boys -- and girls -- in blue . bo : i hope so . carson : you sound as though you have misgivings . bo : will he ever see jail time ? carson : well , that depends on you , my friend . but you can rest assured that vin ramsell will be prosecuted with the full force of my office . so the only question is , did you follow the law ? bo : i 'm not the criminal here . carson : no ? well , if evidence is excluded because of improper procedure , detective brady , then you will know that in the end , you 're the one guilty for releasing a killer back onto the streets . abe : you know , detective brady 's given you all the evidence you need to put away salem 's most dangerous man . i 'd say you owe him a thank - you , certainly not a reproach . let 's assume we 're gon na win this one , hmm ? carson : oh , i intend to win . excuse me . lexie : [ gasps ] carson : lexie -- lexie : carson , finally i caught up with you . carson : look , you 'll have to excuse me . it 's been a terribly busy day . can we please talk later ? lexie : carson , okok . i know that you are in a lot of trouble , and i may be the only person who can help you . john : this is about the fiamingo account , is n't it ? brady : what ? no . dad -- john : you did a great job on the legwork . i just need someone on call 24/7 , and with chloe in the hospital , sally was here -- brady : dad , listen to me . this has nothing to do with the fiamingo account . i do n't care about that account , and that 's just it . that 's the problem . you see , before chloe went in for her bone marrow transplant , she made a list of all the things that she wanted to accomplish sometime in this lifetime , and it got me thinking over the past couple of months . and i said to myself i was gon na make every minute count . and i realized something . i do n't belong here . when i look past the perks , the flexibility , all the superficial stuff that this job has to offer , bottom line -- i hate my job . belle : thanks . kate : you 're welcome . oh , boy ... here you go . belle : i 'm sorry , kate . i know you have work to do . kate : oh , honey . you know , when you were 5 years old , you skinned your knee really badly , and you did n't cry at all . and i thought , that is one tough kid . so when i see tears from you , i worry . belle : don't . i mean , chloe just had a bone marrow transplant . she could still die . and philip 's in the marines . so what do i have to cry about ? kate : well , maybe you 're worried about them . belle : yeah , but still , i feel so stupid when i get caught up in this trivial stuff . kate : ahh . what stuff ? shawn ? do you really believe that 's trivial ? belle : no , but if you knew what happened ... it 's so stupid . i guess i came here hoping my dad would reassure me that i 'm still the person i 've always been . but the way i 've been acting lately , i just do n't understand . kate : well , you just had two brand - new adults come into your family . do you really think you 're going to adjust to that instantly ? belle : oh , i do n't expect to adjust to it ever . i meanrerex is great , but cassie -- i ca n't blame her for everything that 's going wrong in my life . i do n't think i can blame her for any of it . kate : look , i am not the wise counselor that your mother is at all , but i do know firsthand how difficult it can be to blend families with adult children , and i think you are doing just fine . belle : but you do n't know what i did . kate : well , do you want to talk about it ? shawn - d : okay , well , day - of - the - week panties are funny to begin with , all right ? belle : not to me . shawn - d : oh , come on ! belle : shawn , they are not meant to be funny . shawn - d : no ? then what 's the purpose -- to remind you what day of the week it is ? i mean , do n't you have a calendar in here ? belle : okay , they are meant toe e sexy , and might i point out to you there 's nothing sexy about laughing ? shawn - d : all right , whoa ! hey , hey , i was only laughing because i -- belle : because you think i 'm so cute . look at little belle in her silly little days - of - the - week underwear and her need to change them after midnight so they 're on the right day -- how precious . shawn - d : okay , i was not making fun of you . it 's just when i saw that you had the day of the week on y -- your -- your panties , it just struck me as -- okay , all right . maybe it 's because i -- i 'm nervous . that -- yeah . that 's what it was . it was nervous laughter . belle : yeah , shawn , right . it 's about my panties . jennifer : he needs a little makeup there . jack : oh ! jennifer : oh , jack , come on . ralph : i wish we had time to shoot the breeze , jacky boy , but we need to get you into makeup and wardrobe . let 's take him over to -- jack : i like that shirt ! i like that -- woman : i need you to put that shirt on . jack : okay , here 's the shirt . nice white shirt . woman : oh , you know what ?

jennifer : `` hannah 's helpful household hints `` ? jack : i know who hannah is , and we 're not following her to bolivia -- not yet , at least . ralph : good . jack : but we do have -- have guests and cue cards and writers , i hope . ralph : hey , we 've got music and a name for the show . that 's a better start than most shows get . jennifer : that 's right . jack : uh - huh . great . great . jack : wait , wait , wait -- ralph : we 're going live ! woman # 2 : just be still . ralph : you better button the top shirt . jack : top shirt . going live . we 're going live . he said live . we 're going live ! what 's the name of the show ?

i might be of some help . john : there . was n't so hard , now , was it ? look , if you rememr , we decided that you would take this position for a year , and then we would re - evaluate , because both of us knew you were n't gon na make this your career . it was just gon na be a learning experience , right ? brady : and a great one . dad , i want you to know i have n't hated being here , and i 'm grateful for the opportunity . john : and i 'm grateful for all the hard work you did . first of all , you never took the job for granted , you never coasted , and you worked harder than anyone else i have here , and i 'm proud of you . i 'm also proud that you know when it 's time to move on . so what 's the next step , back to school ?

lexie : i 'm about to have a baby . i want the world to be a safer place for him . i mean , why would n't i tell you ? carson : well , it 's just that your husband is not one of my biggest fans right now . lexie : carson , are n't we all on the same side ?

jack : uh , yeah . jennifer : okay , that was well said , well spoken by jack . anyway , we used to be reporters for the salem `` spectator , `` and the producers of this show thought that maybe a live format of everything that 's going on in and around salem would be fresh and exciting . and you add to that a behind - the - scenes peek of a couple of investigative journalists , and you 've got ... `` in the house . `` `` in the house . `` do you have anything to add , jack ? jack : nope . jennifer : you are a font -- a font of information . is n't that wonderful ? i think that it was jack 's quick wit that gave the producers the whole idea for this show , really . well , let 's fix jack first . he did n't button his shirt . oh , let 's see . we 'll fix him up . one second . right here . we want you to look nice on the air , jack . there we go . okay . it 's going quite well , do n't you think , everyone ? it 's going well ? and jack 's answers are short . they 're to the point . you 're doing a very good job . jack : um , the music in the beginning -- is it gon na be the same music ? jennifer : look , look . you can speak -- speak to everyone out there . what 's your question ? jk : k : the music in the beginning . that music -- is it going to be the same music all the time ? jennifer : the music . well , that 's our theme song , and a theme song is played the same . it never changes for every show . and that was our theme song , so it will stay the same . it will never change for every show . jack : well , i do n't like it . jennifer : well , uh , if the show gets canceled and we get picked up to do another show , you can pick the theme song . how 's that ? jack : will you give me more than 24 hours ' notice ? will you give -- will you give me more than 24 hours to prepare ? jennifer : 24 hours . can weivive him 24 hours , everyone ? jack : deal - breaker ! jennifer : i think we can give you 24 hours . what do you say ? jack : deal . jennifer : deal . who is it ? who is it ? who is it ? another chilly weather day . are you right xñ c ú ú ú shawn - d : thanks , maggie . maggie : so , is abe giving another press conference ? bo : not that i know of . i thought hope would want to see her cousin 's debut of her new show . hope : what ? bo : jack and jennifer have a new talk show . it 's going live today . hope : and how do you know this ? and why do n't i know this ? bo : i have my sources . i also heard they 're going to have a big surprise on the show . hope : really ? well , i guess we have a lot more to celebrate than we realized . honey ? shawn ? you 're awfully quiet . shawn - d : i 'm hungry . hope : hey , what do you say you give belle a call and ask her to join us ? shawn - d : no . no , thanks . kate : so , you felt that shawn was making fun of what you were wearing . belle : no , i felt like shawn was making fun of me . not like he 'd ever come out and say he thought i was too serious or uptight . although i 'm starting to wonder myself if maybe i am . kate : oh . belle : it 's just , everything is so serious in the world right now , and it 's not like everything 's all calm and tranquil here . kate : you know that you have an awf l lot going on in your life right now , and i do n't think there 's anything wrong with trying to make a little order in all that chaos -- i mean , whatever way you can . belle : my lingerie ? kate : why not ? belle : you know , that actually sounds like something my mom would say to me . kate : oh . well , thank you . i 'm flattered by that . belle : i guess i just always thought of college as a time where you focus and study , get ready for the future . and my idea of having fun is not losing total control of myself and acting like i 'm in junior high . but i do know how to have fun . kate : well , of course you do . belle : it 's just that i do n't like feeling uptight all the time . and i do n't understand why after everything shawn 's been through , his priorities are still getting half - naked with girls at other schools ' baseball games . it 's not as bad as it sounds , but why does shawn still want to do stuff like that ? when it comes to other people , he is responsible and trustworthy , but when it comes to his own life ... kate : belle , is it possible that you have outgrown your boyfriend ? brady : dad , i know it 's like i 'm going to work for the competition , but i want you to know i gave this a lot of thought when victor first came to me . john : victor came to you ? brady : yes . and he knew it was going to be a very difficult decision for me . but i saw him a couple of times at the hospital , and that 's when he knew i was ready . and it 's not like i 'm leaving here to do the same job over at titan . it 's a much bigger company , and there are plenty of opportunities for me to do something different . john : did victor happen to discuss the scope of his business dealings ? brady : all right , i know what you 're thinking , and i realize that titan may not be 100 % legit , but i made it very clear to victor what i would and would not do . john : well , as hard as you may try to separate the spheres , there 's never a clean break , son . brady : you know that victor would never leananything bad happen to me . you were on the board at `` bella `` magazine . you worked with victor . john : yeah , yeah . uh - huh . brady : and let 's face it , dad , it 's not like you 're the safest business associate , either . you got a price on your head -- stefano , tony , all the guys you may have crossed when you used to be i.s.a . i want you to trust me , okay ?

brady : well , i was thinking about starting a music division . john : music ? brady : yeah , titan 's got a huge publishing arm and a high stake in fashion . there 's a natural tie - in there . you know , they could publish their own sheet music and sign new artists . john : so , what , you 're thinking about starting up a record label ? brady : maybe . john : yeah . chloe ? brady : hope so . john : damn , son , this is your dream job ! brady : well , think about it . to be able to nurture new talent . there 's an incredible venue right here in salem -- blue note 's up for sale . john : you 've given this a lot of thought , have n't you ? brady : i have . and that 's why i need to apologize for laying this on you now , with all of the family problems . john : yeah , do n't worry abouitit . we 'll manage . brady : i 've noticed you 've been putting in a lot of time here . does that mean marlena and tony and the wonder twins have been doing the family bonding ? john : it means that marlena has been bonding with her children . it 's got nothing to do with tony , though . you know , biology is n't everything . i just do n't know why some people ca n't understand that . belle : did i just make myself sound like the mature one in the relationship ? no . at least i have n't been acting that way lately . you know , i tell shawn to go away , and then i go on this tv dating game to prove to him that i 'm moving on , and he asks me to get back together with him , and i say no . and then i get mad because we 're not together . kate : okay , now , i think i followed that . um ... are you saying that you want to get back with shn ? n ? belle : i guess . i do n't know . kate , is it supposed to be this complicated ? kate : oh ... belle : it 's been such a weird year . maybe what i need is just to get more involved with school , you know ? get a healthier balance going on . kate : can i pitch something to you ? hope : did something happen between you and belle ? shawn - d : let 's not talk about that right now , okay ? we 're here to celebrate , right ? maggie : okay , i think i 've got it . oh , looks like we missed the beginning . hope : maggie , turn up the volume . jack : then , of course it 's just the law of nature that the ketchup is gon na squirt all down the front of the shirt that cost you $ 4 to get dry - cleaned . jennifer : i , uh , i do n't know what you 're getting at , palmer , but we 're not trying to pull anything . we 're doing a television show . and we have proper permit parking for the trailer if that 's what you 're so upset about , but you can speak to ralph about that after the show . carson : do n't you try to play coy with me , missy . i happen to have received certain information that you and your intend to present some sort of slanderous information on this , uh , so - called television show about the vin ramsell case . jennifer : oh , really ? well , i can tell you right now the last thing that jack is talking about is the vin ramsell case . jennifer : no , you see , actually , he is , uh , he is presenting some hard- hitting news with our viewing audience right now , but you know what ? the vin ramsell story would be of great interest to the good people of salem . and as journalists , i feel that it is our responsibility to uncover the facts that we have found . and you know what ? if you would like to give your take on the story -- and i 'm sure you would -- you 're more than welcome to come on the show and set the record straight . you know , you can reach the masses . carson : that 's cute . that 's very cute . but i do n't think so . jennifer : really ? i 'd think that you would have the facts right at your fingertips , palmer . carson : well , yes , i do , but i have no intention of allowing you to try to grill me while the cameras are rolling . jennifer : good . so we can say whatever we want to say , and you wo n't be there to disagree with us no matter what we say . and you know jack is liable to say anything . we all know what a wild card he is . carson : come to think of it , perhaps now is the perfect time to set the record straight . jennifer : come on in . lexie : i would n't miss this for the world . jack : so , i recommend mixing about 30 of these packets in half a cup of water , and what you 'll end up with a lovely , steaming cup of tomato bisque . who 's in the house now ? who is it ? jack : we 're going to take a commercial break right now , but when we return , we 're going to have a very special guest . who 's in the house now ? who is it ? who 's in the house now ? who , who , who , who you 're watching jack and jennifer 's show , yeah injuring and now that the bombs are quiet , the sounds of iraq can be heard . it is the duty of the occupying power to do so . she was just six years old . she is also waiting for an amputation . a listen to a country in crisis . on tonight 's global national . w ? kate : now , you have always had very strong ideas about clothes and design . belle : down to my days - of - the - week underwear . kate : i did n't even know they made those anymore . belle : i had to look very hard to find them . kate : do you have any idea how much money is in the underwear market right now ? belle : well , after that whole thong thing ... kate : i think that you 're onto something -- practically the only retro trend that 's gone untapped . belle : underwear ? you 're kidding . kate : no , i 'm not . now , would you be willing to brainstorm some ideas with me ? are you interested in that ? belle : yeah , i am . kate : great . then i have the perfect opportunity for you . brady : dad , i 'm sorry . i know i was n't always accepting of marlena as a stepmother . i hope the twins do better than i did . but i also know that marlena will make them uererstand . are you still worried that cassie and rex might hurt marlena -- or tony , for that matter ? john : no , i 'm not worried about tony . and i do n't want you worrying about any of this . you have a future to concentrate on , and i know you 're gon na go out there and do great things . brady : it 's music , dad . it 's not saving the world . john : yeah , but you got talent , and you got drive , and besides that , you care . and your mother would be very , very proud to know that you 're gon na work with victor , and very , very happy . however , i 'm gon na miss having you around here . you know , it was n't the plan when i started this company , but very quickly i began to depend upon having you here . we kind of work in a shorthand , you know ? brady : you 'll definitely live without me . john : yeah . so , going out in the world to make your mark , huh ? and i have no doubt that you will do just that . maggie : ooh ! ooh , ooh , ooh , ooh . why are commercials always so loud ? hope : i do n't know . but jack did a great commercial for ketchup within his show . shawn - d : so , what , are they gon na talk about ketchup every day ? i mean , do n't they have more important things to say to people ? hope : well , honey , i think what jack and jennifer are trying to say to the people is that they know it 's a very scary world out there these days , and , well , i do n't know , they 're just being silly and trying to make us laugh . ralph : back from commercial in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... jennifer : we 're back , and you are `` in the house , `` and we have our first visitor with us today . and he has generously agreed to speak with us -- salem 's very own district attorney -- carson palmer . are you comfortable , mr . palmer ?

carson : the district attorney 's office plans to aggressively pursue a just resolution . jack : but there is no real , true justice , is there ? i mean , we ca n't turn back the clock for the victims or their families . tell us , did you know about maria annendel 's connections to the underworld when you were seen having dinner with her recently ? brady : i know that sally has been coveting my desk chair , so i will clear out all of my stuff today . john : oh , take your time , please . [ knock on door ] john : yeah , come on in . kate : excuse me , but i thought that you would like to welcome our newest employee . belle : kate offered me an internship for the summer , and i accepted . brady : see ? at least you 'll have one of your kids working for you , dad . john : oh , this is fantastic . ha ha ha . ahh ... carson : as you undoubtedly know , i am not permitted to discuss specific details of pending cases . jennifer : oh , well , i thought that 's why you agreed to appear on the show , but if you do n't want to set the record straight , we 'll be happy to let the audience know what we know . carson : i think the good citizens of salem deserve to know more than just half the story . jennifer : but we know the whole story , palmer . jack : more than you could imagine . carson : you had better not make any accusations you ca n't fully back up . jack : noted . you and vin ramsell are business partners , and you have been giving his business associates a get - out - of - jail - free card in exchange for money and profits from their business . you , sir , are a top dog in the salem underwod d. how do you like those accusations ? carson : you know what that 's called , mr . deveraux ? that is called slander . and you 're gon na find that little statement of yours was very costly indeed . jennifer : oh , is that a pending case against jack that you 're talking about ? because you just said you did n't want to discuss pending seses . maybe you should call the police . maybe we should call the police . oh , but even better , look who 's coming through the door . commander carver . you know , i bet if you 're real nice to him , he 'll give you a ride downtown , carson . abe : carson palmer , you 're under arrest . shawn - d : mom , i 'd say this is bigger than ketchup . hope : mm - hmm . they really got palmer . abe : [ on tv ] with your miranda rights ... hope : you knew , huh ? bo : i would n't have missed this . abe : i know how much you appreciate proper protocol . carson : just what the hell do you think you 're doing ? this is ridiculous ! abe : you 've been running roughshod over the citizens of this city for a long time . now it 's our turn . cuff him . you have the right to remain silent . if you wish to give up the right to remain silent , anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney , and if you so desire and can not afford one , then an attorney will be appointed for you . now , do you understand these rights as i have read them to you ? chloe : i 'm out of isolation now . i 'm going to be okay . brady : it wo n't be long before we have to say goodbye . kate : you are a coward when it comes to your feelings , so why do n't you just go back to the station ? go back to your real life . alice : you think your generation invented sex ? shawn - d : oh , gran ! rex : it 's no accident my name means `` king . `` | in the house with jack and jennifer starts off rocky , but with the help of lexie they get their first guest - carson palmer . they show him the evidence they have on him and abe comes in and arrests him ! john looses brady as an employee ( he wants to work for vic ) but gains belle , who is taking a summer internship ! bo , hope , and shawn go to tuscany and watch the arrest , and they sense something wrong with shawn 's relationship with belle . in the house with jack and jennifer starts off rocky , but with the help of lexie they get their first guest - carson palmer . they show him the evidence they have on him and abe comes in and arrests him ! john looses brady as an employee ( he wants to work for vic ) but gains belle , who is taking a summer internship ! bo , hope , and shawn go to tuscany and watch the arrest , and they sense something wrong with shawn 's relationship with belle . brady tells john that he quits , and john slowly accepts him working for grandpa vic . but now he has another employee - daughter belle !

i 'm gon na be careful . i 'll be really careful . jennifer : i know that you will , but that has n't gotten you anywhere so far . you have everything to lose and nothing to gain , so please do n't do this . daniel : no ! i am not gon na just sit here and do nothing ! liam : i 'm not sure why any of this matters or why you 'd choose not to believe the truth . nicole : the truth ? when we ran into each other , if you remember correctly , you said you were leaving . from the wrong floor ? liam : i 'd forgot my wallet . i was in a rush , got back on the elevator , pushed the wrong button . nicole : for daniel jonas ' floor ? liam : exactly . realized my mistake when i got off , but the doors had already shut and i had to wait for the next elevator . nicole : oh , and that 's when we ran into each other . liam : exactly . nicole : mm - hmm . so then you went back to dr . weeks ' place to pick up your wallet ? liam : of course . nicole : and if i talk to her about your story , she 'll say the same thing ? liam : obviously . but , i mean , you 're not gon na ask her , right ? look , as i said , this is all very delicate . i already explained , as i recall , that i do n't want anyone to think that i 'm showing doctors any favors . also , dr . weeks is in another relationship , and if word were to get out about us , it could really wreck things for her and me . nicole : mr. frazer , i have no intention of doing that . liam : thank you . nicole : but i 'm still gon na need to speak to her . do n't worry . i 'll keep it between us . liam : [ stammers ] i do n't understand why any of this is your concern . nicole : because dr. jonas is my friend , and what happened to him this morning is certainly my concern . liam : wait , you 're not saying you think i had anything to do -- nicole : well , if your alibi checks out , you have nothing to worry about . liam : whoa , wait . will : what can i do to make this better ?

will : sonny and i are not going to lecture you anymore . it 's your life , and only you can decide what happens with nick . it 's just that with everything that happened , with everything we 've been through thinking that he was dead , i am surprised that you want to be friends with him again , but like i said , it 's your choice ... nobody else 's . gabi : well , i really appreciate you saying that . it 's a good start . but i 'm sorry . it 's not enough . nick : you ca n't fight ... what gabi and i feel , rafe . you ca n't keep us apart . what we have is too real . rafe : no , what you have , it 's a joke , it 's sick . nick : jensen tried to come between us , he messed with my mind , and he could n't do it . rafe : uh - huh ? nick : gabi and i survived that . rafe : okay . nick : as much as you 'd like to , you ca n't control what gabi feels ... rafe : we 'll see . nick : or what she does . just like you could n't control your sister ... arianna . and so she died ... tragically . and i know how guilty you feel about that . i know that you feel like if you 'd done a better job protecting her , that she 'd still be here today . rafe : right . nick : but you 're not gon na get her back by smothering gabi . just gon na make her want me more . ca n't you see that ? rafe : you know what i see ? i see a liar . and i see a convicted murderer . and i see someone who is gon na bring my sister nothing but pain and heartache . and i do n't give a damn what you say or that you 've changed or you say you have some sort of connection with my sister . i am not gon na let you brainwash her into thinking that she needs you . it 's not gon na happen . ej : look . i understand that you 're concerned about nick . i do . but you need to grasp that gabriella 's personal life is out of our hands . we do n't have a say , samantha . sami : how can you say that ? i mean , six months ago , this girl was afraid that she had killed nick for attacking her . nick has managed to forgive her for bashing him over the head with a rock . but meanwhile , i am the person who actually tried to help this stupid girl and he 's blackmailing me for it . and the thanks i get from gabi ? oh , yeah . no , she 's jumping back in the sack with him . ej : okay . but , samantha , if gabriella has feelings for nick , then there 's nothing we can do about that . sami : there 's always something i could do . ej : such as ?

really ? what the hell are you talking about ? nick : [ sniffs ] do n't worry about it . i wo n't press charges ... this time . rafe : i will worry about it . nick : really ? rafe : yeah . nick : you trying to leave me no choice ? rafe : [ sighs ] okay , sami . i really hope you can tell me what the hell is going on . sami : when i say i want nick gone , i just ... i just mean i want him gone . ej : be specific . sami : i do n't know . [ phone rings ] sami : and frankly , i do n't care . i mean , the point is i just want him to , you know , be out of will 's life and arianna 's life and gabi 's . you know , maybe you could talk to your father . ej : about what ? sami : about nick , obviously ! could n't he just , you know , have him put on one of his islands somewhere in the middle of nowhere and we could forget about him forever ? ej : would you really like to be in my father 's debt again ? sami : i do n't see as we have much choice . even rafe realizes there 's something that has to be done . ej : whoa , stop . rafe knows what 's going on ? sami : well , he came back with will and he saw gabi and i fighting , he found out what happened , and he went tearing off after nick . ej : wonderful . well , with a bit of luck , mr. fallon has already departed this world . [ phone rings ] sami : i mean , that seems unlikely . it seems like nick has more than nine lives . ej : what is it ? sami : it 's rafe . he wants to talk to me about the whole thing with nick , so ... all right . ej : no , ah - ah ! absolutely not , young lady . you 're not going anywhere . you stay here , i 'll go . sami : what ? are you jealous ? ej : no , i 'm not jealous . i just think it 's best to remove you from the situation . sami : oh , because you think i ca n't handle it ? ej : i think that dealing with detective hernandez requires a certain amount of , um ... diplomacy . sami : and you 're telling me that you think i ca n't keep my big mouth shut ? ej : we do n't want this whole thing to blow up in our faces , do we ? sami : no , we do n't . ej : okay . sami : he 's at the pub . ej : thank you . will : it 's not enough ? what else can i do ? gabi : i do n't know . i just -- i ca n't deal with your mother again . will : fine , done . i will make sure that she never comes over here to see ari . gabi : she has a key . will : for emergencies . gabi : well , she used it when you and sonny were at the inn , and that 's when she -- will : okay , look , i will go and i will get that key from -- i 'll go right now . just please , promise me that you will be here when i get back . gabi : i promise . i do n't -- i do n't want to move out , will . but if your mom comes here again and attacks me one more time , there is n't anything that you can do to stop me . i 'm sorry . will : i understand . and it wo n't happen . gabi : oh , my god . rafe . [ phone rings ] nick : [ sighs ] hey . gabi : hey , um , it 's me . look , my brother was here and i just wanted to warn you that -- nick : i already saw him . gabi : are you okay ? nick : i 'm fine . gabi : well , you do n't sound fine . nick : i 'm just getting a little peace and quiet in the park . um , i think it -- it 'll be good if we can just talk tomorrow . gabi : tomorrow ? nick : yeah , yeah , i think that 'd be best . i 'll talk to you later , okay ? [ sighs ] gabi : okay , arianna grace , let 's go . daniel : jennifer , i hear you . i hear what you 're saying , but if theresa gets away with this , she wins , and that is not an option for me . jennifer : but you 're never going to get to her because she 's never going to admit it . daniel : not deliberately , but she has a weakness . jennifer : what ? daniel : me . she hates me , obviously , but she also has this weird vibe around me . it 's sick , it 's disgusting , fueled by her desire to hurt you , but despite her little tough veneer , she makes mistakes . that girl , she makes mistakes . now , if i can just push her buttons , i 'll get her to fly off the handle , she will incriminate herself like that . jennifer : do you realize that there are other people who could be hurt if this does n't turn out the way you expect it to ? daniel : oh , my god . you 're right . i did n't ... i did n't think about that . jennifer , i 'm ... i 'm sorry . liam : are you suggesting i had something to do with daniel jonas ' mishap today ? nicole : he was deliberately drugged in his apartment this morning . liam : okay , even if that 's so , it 's a big building . dozens of people passing through . i 'm not quite sure why you 're zeroed in on me . nicole : i 'm an investigative reporter . liam : so you bark up every tree ? nicole : well , i 'm barking up your tree because ... you 're sweating . liam : i barely know dr. jonas . nicole : but you know jennifer horton , do n't you ? she stopped seeing you to go back to daniel , right ? liam : so you think i drugged him ? that 's crazy . nicole : well , if the label fits -- liam : okay , if you think you 're gon na ruin my reputation on the basis of this purely circumstantial crap , you 're the one who 's going to be kissing your career good - bye . nicole : oh , we 'll just see about that . liam : hold on . i think we should talk about dr. chyka , do n't you ? [ door closes ] sami : hey , will . i hope you were able to talk some sense into gabi -- will : be quiet . listen to me . sami : hey , all right , you do n't talk to me like that . gabi is the one who -- will : do you hear yourself ? you 're the reason gabi almost walked out with arianna today . sami : [ scoffs ] will : you went after the mother of my baby . you almost cost me my daughter , and that is unacceptable . ej : oh ! little early for that . rafe : where 's sami ? ej : something came up . rafe : like what ? ej : well , she told me what was happening earlier , and we decided i 'd come in her place . rafe : hmm , lucky me . ej : so ... you went after nick , did you ? so you 're still in one piece . rafe : unfortunately , so is he . ej : you realize you just gave him exactly what he wanted ? rafe : oh , yeah ? loosening his teeth ? ej : he wants to be the victim . rafe : well , he 's not the victim . my sister is the victim . he tried to lure her to new york , and god , if -- i 'm not giving him another chance . ej : [ clears throat ] once you calm down , you 're going to realize you do n't have a choice . none of us do . gabi : um , nick , look . i know that you said you wanted to be alone , but i was worried and -- oh , my god . did rafe do that to you ? nick : it 's not a big deal . gabi : it 's not a big deal ? what ? nick : it 's your brother . he 's just trying to be protective . gabi : you mean he 's being a neanderthal . nick : look , gabi , the last thing that i want is to cause any problems between you and your family . and that includes will and sami . gabi : sami ? nick : you know , after -- after what happened at the river , i thought to myself that i - i wanted to stay in salem because it 's the only place that i 've ever really felt at home . i 've tried really , really hard to make that happen . gabi : i know you have . nick : but it 's stupid for me to think any of that mattered . you know ? because now , i mean , with the way people are acting , i do n't think anybody 's ever gon na accept me in this town . daniel : i do n't even know where my head 's at . if i go after theresa , she 's gon na retaliate by hurting jj , and that 's the last thing you need . jennifer : yes , i know that . but it 's not that . it 's not just jj . this is all my fault . daniel : what ? jennifer : daniel , if you never loved me , none of this would be happening to you right now . nicole : i 'm sorry . what did you say ? liam : dr. chyka . he 's the guy who kidnapped you and the priest , right ? i saw it on titan tv breaking news . you almost died . what a terrible ordeal you went through . nicole : i do n't know what that has to do with you . liam : hmm , well , everyone at the hospital was talking about it , but i did n't pay much attention to it because , well , it 's none of my business . and i like to stay out of other people 's private matters . anyway , i 'd almost forgotten about the whole thing when the most amazing thing happened . this famous tv news reporter was dumping so much garbage at this ignominious roadside rest stop . nicole : not sure what you 're getting at . liam : oh ? all that rubbish you were getting rid of , none of it had to do with dr. chyka ? nicole : of course not . liam : i think you 're lying to me , miss walker . i know that you were shredding documents pertaining to dr. chyka and , uh , what 's her name ? kristen dimera ? that 's it . and then you were recklessly setting them on fire . nicole : i was not . liam : the hell you were n't . rafe : well , thanks , but i do n't need your advice on how to look out for my sister . ej : are you sure about that ? rafe : what are you getting at , ej ? ej : i 'm telling you . you do n't want to push this any further . rafe : hmm . is that a threat ? ej : no , of course not . i 'm trying to get you to understand it 's not in gabi 's best interest , or anybody 's , for you to interfere with this matter . rafe : well , this matter is my sister 's future . ej : rafe , if you go after nick , it 's going to be counterproductive . you risk making this situation a lot more dangerous . rafe : really ? it 's funny 'cause you kind of sound like nick . you two working together on this ? ej : do i work with nick ? rafe : mm - hmm . ej : no . rafe : then what are you trying to tell me ? ej : my interest in this situation is very simple . i 'm trying to stop my family from being torn apart . rafe : by nick ? ej : yes . sami : oh , my god , what ? is gabi threatening to move in with nick ? will : or anywhere you were n't . sami : okay , well , it 's okay now , right ? you talked her out of it and talked some sense into her ? will : yes , but i had to make some pretty big promises . sami : like what ? will : like you 're not allowed to come anywhere near our place if gabi 's around . sami : what ? no ! no , you are not serious ! there is no way in hell i am letting her keep me away from my grandbaby . nick : ah ... ah . gabi : nick , i feel terrible . nick : it 's not your fault . gabi : well , my brother would have never laid a hand on you if we were n't -- [ sighs ] you know , i 'm just -- i just ca n't understand why people ca n't try to believe you 've changed . nick : because they 're never gon na change . ow , ow . they 're never gon na accept me . gabi : i mean , will and sonny are trying . nick : [ chuckles ] what makes you say that ? gabi : well , while sami was off ranting and raving and rafe was tearing off after you , will stood up to his mom and actually threw her out of our place . nick : really ? gabi : yeah . said he 's gon na tell her that she 's not welcome back . nick : how did you get him to agree ... to say that ? gabi : well , i told him that i was taking arianna and that we were moving out . nick : what ? no , no , no , no . gabi , you , um ... you ca n't do that . daniel : jennifer . if you and i are not together ... you are not to blame for any of this . i never want to hear you say that again . okay ? oh , baby , come here . we will figure out a way to deal with theresa . trust me . jennifer : yeah . wait a minute . there is something we can do . no , there 's something i can do right now . nicole : just what have you been smoking ? liam : the only thing smoking was that heap of paper . of course , you ca n't blame a guy for being curious about what was so secret that it needed to be shredded and set aflame . of course , you were sweating bullets the whole time i was trying to help you , so naturally , my suspicions were raised . so i fished a few pieces out of the pile before you came back and torched the whole thing . it took some time , but it was kind of like putting together a puzzle . i always liked puzzles . nicole : i do n't know what you think you know . liam : oh , i do know . so what do you think your ex - priest friend would think about you destroying the only information that could ever clear his name ? sorry . i 've got your number and i 'm keeping it . will : gabi 's not trying to keep you away from your granddaughter . sami : ha ! that 's exactly what she 's doing . will : i can bring ari over here to see you . that 's not a problem . gabi is tired of putting up with you attacking her over nick . sami : why is n't anyone attacking her for that ? i mean , come on ! are you really okay with her sleeping with nick in your apartment ? will : i ca n't control what gabi does , and neither can you . you are the last person she wants to hear from on the subject of being an unfit mother . and i do n't blame her . so ... i 'm going to need you to give me the key to our place right now . gabi : well , i thought you 'd want me to move out . nick : no . you 've worked way too hard to have a good relationship with will and sonny , and i want you to keep it that way . that 's why you stayed , you know ? you 're putting arianna first , the way that we all should be . gabi : i wish they could hear you right now . sometimes i think that you 're the only one out of all of them who puts arianna first . nick : that 's not true . gabi : will did say that if i wanted to spend time with you , that it 'd be totally up to me , so he 's gon na be seeing a lot of you . and maybe then he 'll realize who you really are . nick : i 'd -- i 'd love it if we could all be friends again . gabi : stranger things have happened , right ? and if will and sonny come around , then maybe my brother and the others will too . yeah ? nick : ow . gabi : oh ! nick : i can only hope . rafe : well , your family does not include my sister . ej : no , but it does include arianna grace . rafe : and i do n't need your help . ej : you have no idea . rafe : okay , then why do n't you tell me ? ej : trust me , you do n't want to know any more . rafe : but if it 's about gabi and nick ? ej : look , you and i both know nick could snap his fingers , your sister 's in prison . rafe : mmm , actually , there 's a legal agreement . ej : you really think a legal agreement means something to someone like nicholas fallon ? rafe : okay , listen . what happened to melanie is ancient history , and besides , my sister was a victim in that . and there 's no way the d.a . would touch a case like that in a million years , so ... ej : there is a lot more to it than that . rafe : really ? then why do n't you tell me , hmm ? tell me what my sister did this time . daniel : hold on , hold on . what are you gon na do ? jennifer : i 'm gon na put out a press release about your suspension and get in front of the story . daniel : and do as much damage control as possible . jennifer : yes , until the truth comes out , which i know is gon na be soon . daniel : no , it will . i hope it will . jennifer : yeah . so you 'll stay here with parker ? daniel : and away from theresa , yeah . jennifer : yes . thank you for being so understanding . i 'm never gon na let her hurt you again . daniel : oh , thank you . jennifer : okay ? daniel : okay . jennifer : just call me . if you need anything , just call me , okay ? daniel : you know i will . jennifer : okay . daniel : all right . jennifer : you stay right here . liam : you followed me tonight because you had a crazy theory that i broke into dr. jonas ' apartment and drugged him so that -- why would i do that ? nicole : you tell me . liam : i ca n't , you see , because i did n't . i would n't dream of hurting the good doctor , just as i 'm sure you would n't hurt the former priest whom you profess to love with your whole heart . so let 's call it even . you stay out of my business and i 'll happily stay out of yours . but remember , all you have is conjecture , offhanded theories . i 've got hard evidence in hand . and i got the feeling that you 'd do anything to protect those little secrets that you try to keep under wraps . i would n't tempt fate if i were you . [ yodeling plays ] sami : the key to your place ? will : yes . thank you . sami : so you 're choosing gabi hernandez over your own mother . will : no , mom . i 'm choosing my daughter . and if you were in my position , you would do the exact same thing . ej : i 'm afraid i 'm not at liberty to discuss . rafe : you can not just drop these hints that you are protecting my sister from something that you ca n't tell me because -- ej : because you 're a detective , rafe , and to tell you would put you in an untenable position . rafe : it 's that bad ? ej : gabi 's not entirely innocent , but the situation is a lot more complex . rafe : mm - hmm . and that 's all you can tell me ? ej : that 's all i can tell you . rafe : and i 'm supposed to just take your word ? ej : look , i 'm trying to protect the people who you care about . so stop doing your damndest to ruin everything by going after nick . rafe : all right , that 's your solution ? ej : if nick changes the way he operates , then we 'll come up with a better move . for the time being , let 's not exacerbate the situation by provoking him . rafe : okay , so just sit back and do nothing ? ej : i hear you 're the praying type . so pray . you pray that your sister 's right and that nick has turned over a new leaf . rafe : okay . that 's good . [ ari cries ] gabi : oh , ari , honey , are you okay ? what 's going on ? oh , i think she 's hungry . um , i 'm pretty sure i packed a bottle . nick : you should probably get going . take her home . but , gabi ... i want you to know how sorry i am for all the trouble that i 've caused . gabi : you did n't cause it . nick : percy was right . this is working out exactly how i planned . jennifer : `` dr. jonas responded to the drug test results by voluntarily offering his resignation . `` no , that makes him sound guilty . daniel : yeah , thank you , marlena . i really appreciate your support . [ knock at door ] daniel : yeah , i 'll talk to you soon . nicole : hi . daniel : nicole , what 's wrong ? nicole : i ca n't let this happen . daniel : what -- wait , hold on . what are you talking about ? nicole : i have to help you , no matter what . | nicole wanted to know why liam was in daniel 's apartment . liam wanted to know what she was implying . ej wanted to know what sami did to gabi . sami said she called gabi an unfit mother . rafe roughed up nick for being around gabi . liam lied about why he was on daniel 's floor . gabi told will she was moving out . will thought it was because of nick . sami explained why she insulted gabi . ej defended gabi . daniel and jennifer got into an argument over him wanting to confront theresa about what happened to him . nicole told liam that she 's going to speak to the woman liam said he was with . liam thought she was accusing him of drugging daniel . she said he had nothing to worry about if his story checked out . will tried to talk to gabi into staying , but she wanted to leave . nick warned rafe that he 's going to make gabi want him more . rafe still wanted nick to stay away from gabi . nick warned rafe that others would be hurt if rafe kept bothering him . rafe wanted to know what nick was talking about , but nick walked away . sami said she wanted nick gone . ej wanted to know what she meant . she said she wanted nick out of the picture . she wanted to meet rafe to talk about nick , but ej wanted to do it himself . will said he would keep sami from her . gabi was willing to stay unless sami attacked her again . daniel was convinced he could get theresa to crack , but jennifer warned him that other people were involved . nicole accused liam of drugging daniel . when she was about to leave , he mentioned dr. chyka . |
[ loud thud ] [ theresa humming ] theresa : oh , gosh , i 'm so sorry . did i wake you up ? did you sleep on my sofa ? summer : i know you 're angry . theresa : californians . so sensitive to vibes . summer : i do n't blame you . theresa : oh , that 's good to know -- can i get you anything ? ? summer : i am so sorry . theresa : of course you are . you 're always sorry and you -- you want pity and sympathy , and you want to be taken care of . summer : i 'll go . theresa : good . of course you will . actually , i wanted to know something first though . um , why did you show up here ? i mean , you knew brady and i were out on a date , or is that exactly why you showed up here , because you knew we were out alone , having a great time ? summer : you know , it -- it 's hard to explain . theresa : well , save the vague , wounded , timid act for brady , 'cause trust me , it 's not gon na work on me . i mean , what do you want from us -- more to the point , what do you want from brady ? [ heart monitor beeping ] brady : is there any word on the , uh , the surgery ? is she gon na -- is she gon na walk again ? there was too much swelling for dr. thompson to assess her . brady : i ca n't stand the wait . i do n't know what going through her mind . at least she 's sleeping . well , on and off . she , uh , did n't have a good night . she was very restless . brady : well , i do n't want to -- i do n't want to disturb her . can i leave these for her ? these are her favorite muffins . she 'll like that . brady : thanks . maggie : victor ? hi . fynn : you 're here pretty early . philip : well , he blows a gasket whenever he sees me , so i need to get out before he wakes up . how is he ? fynn : he 's getting stronger . we 're very optimistic . philip : maggie ? fynn : we 're in a wait - and - see situation there . philip : right . my father hates hospitals , so if he wants to go home , i 'll make sure he gets all the care he needs . fynn : we 'll talk about that a little later . victor : what the hell are you doing here ? [ roman sighs ] marlena : roman ? this is n't good , is it ? john : ah , he 's just a couple minutes late . roman : he 's being sentenced this morning . judges hate waiting . they punish people for making them wait . eric could pay big time for being just a few minutes late . john : yeah , roman -- roman : look , i apologize . i 'm just -- i 'm frustrated . i 'm disappointed . belle : eric , please call me when you get this . straight to voicemail . marlena : do you think he 's been drinking ? roman : or did he just decide to run ? marlena : hmm .

[ sighs ] philip : i wanted to see for myself how you 're doing . victor : peachy . now get the hell out . philip : i sat here watching you sleep . trying to rack my brain for ... some way to make up for what i 've done . victor : hmm , then you 'd have to go back in time . change every stupid decision you made . then there 's my stupid decision to bring you here . you know , if you had n't been here ... maggie might not be in a hospital bed waiting to find out if she can ever walk again . brady : you know , the nurses say you 're doing very well ? i think you 're gon na get some very , very good news today . maggie : well , how 's victor ? brady : he 's fine , he 's fine . i check in on him all the time . doctors say he 's doing very well . very grumpy , which is always a good sign . maggie : what about summer ? have you seen her ? have you talked to her ? brady : um , yeah , yeah . last night . maggie : and ? brady : she 's okay . maggie : i need the truth , brady . brady : she had a bad night , maggie . she ended up staying with us over the night , and theresa 's with her now . maggie : what kind of a bad night ? brady : she just showed up and she would not tell me what was bothering her . do you know what it was ? summer : i do n't want anything from brady . theresa : oh , can the crap , okay ? that 's what you serve up over and over and over again . you 're obsessed with brady . summer : no , i am grateful to him . theresa : oh , okay , so -- so when you were huddled up on our doorstep like the little match girl , it 's 'cause you were grateful ? and you just -- you slept on my -- my living room sofa because you 're just so grateful , and when you touch his wrist and you gaze at him while you 're talking to him it 's because you 're grateful ? actually , summer , i think there 's a little bit more than that to this story and i think it has something to do with the fact that you are a needy , self - destructive waif in search of a savior . summer : theresa , i am sorry . i was really upset last night and i did n't know where to turn . theresa : well , next time you do n't know where to turn , just remember not here ! my budget was always second - guessing me [ phone ringing ] [ ringing continues ] jennifer : [ sighs ] oh , god .

[ dark music ] [ dramatic musical sting ] xander : i do n't have anything to say to you . get the hell out of here . eric : i 'm not going anywhere . xander : look , i do n't have time for this . eric : where 's sarah ? xander : she 's upstairs saying good - bye to mickey . eric : and i 'll give her her privacy . and you and i can have a little chat . xander : i do n't have time for one of your lectures -- eric : a lecture after what you did ? you belong in a grave just like my little girl . sarah : [ sobbing ] oh , sweet little girl . i know i 'm supposed to say good - bye to you , but ... and i do n't know how i 'm gon na let you go . i ... i loved you from the moment that xander put you into my arms . god . how could he do this to me ? how could he let me fall so in love with a baby that was n't mine ? what am i gon na do without you ? what am i gon na do ? [ somber music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] kristen : xander . why ? i mean , is he just trying to get back at me ? brady : i think it was more about sarah . he was there when mackenzie died . he did n't want sarah to face what -- what you faced . kristen : well , now i understand the pain that i caused you and theresa . maybe -- maybe it was retribution , right ? brady : no , hey , no , let 's -- i do n't think we should be looking back there . i want us to move forward , kristen . can we move forward , please ? kristen : oh , yeah . i am moving forward . and i am looking forward to making xander pay for what he did . xander : go ahead and kill me . i -- i do n't care . i lost sarah . you could come at me with a baseball bat and it would n't hurt more than this . eric : did your little fairy tale go sour ? xander : why did you tell her ? she was so happy and you had nicole , you had mackenzie . why did you blow it all up ? eric : because it was the right thing to do . but of course no one would expect for you to understand that . xander : it was nicole , was n't it ? i knew she was sniffin ' around . eric : listen to you ! brady and kristen thought their little daughter was dead . that 's because of you ! and you 're all mad because of nicole sniffing around ? xander : news flash , pal . nicole was n't trying to do the right thing . she 's just a nosy bitch . you feel better ? eric : no . xander : and you 're not going to either for a very long time . look , you can be as pious as you want , but sooner or later , it 's gon na dawn on you just how badly you screwed everything up . sarah is gon na grieve for the rest of her life and now you get to watch brady and kristen raise the kid that could have been yours if you just kept your mouth shut ! and then it 's gon na dawn on you that you 're gon na have to live with the fact that your precious nicole took the child that you always wanted away from you , and now you can never get her back . eric : you know the one good reason for telling sarah ? it stopped her from marrying a bastard like you . sarah : look at you . you have no idea why mommy 's crying . only , i 'm not your mommy . [ sniffling ] i do n't think -- i do n't think i could love you any more , even if i were . this is like ... like waking up from the most beautiful dream only to realize that you 're in a nightmare . [ sniffling ] nothing is ever gon na be as hard as giving you up -- nothing . [ sniffling ] i do n't think i can . jack : so ... how did kayla take it when you told her you loved her more than ever ? steve : i didn't . did n't get the chance . but i did tell her to tear up those divorce papers and marry me ... again . but that was before she told me she 'd moved on with justin . jack : you know , i - i could go get her and the two of you could finish this conversation -- steve : no , no ! jack : just take a second -- steve : jackson , no ! jack : you know ... hmph . you know ... you know you were n't always such a passive guy . steve : what 's that supposed to mean ? jack : uh ... it means i ca n't believe that you say that you still love kayla ... and your game plan is just to sit there and do nothing ? steve : what do you want me to do ? jump up , go out there and grab her ? carry her off to my castle and prove to her that i 'm the only man for her ? jack : well , the steve i know probably would try something like that -- i mean , he certainly would n't sit around on his butt feelin ' sorry for himself , not even talk to her . steve : listen , man , even before stefano and rolf messed with my head , i had let kayla down so many times before . i do love her . but maybe she 's better off with justin . jack : hmm . you know ... maybe i 'm better off on a low - calorie diet with a , uh , well - planned program of exercise . but it wo n't make me happy . you know ? wo n't make me look forward to each and every new day . steve : now i remember . talkin ' to you makes my head hurt . jack : kayla loves you , dude . always has , always will . now , maybe ... maybe sitting in front of a fire with justin while he drones on about torts was the best she could do . but you 're back and you 're exciting . least you used to be . steve : i thought you liked justin . jack : i love the guy . i just ca n't say good things about him and try to make you do something . steve : you know what , jack ? i do n't need a pep talk . i need the truth . now , you 've seen them together . when kayla is with justin , is she happy ? kayla : `` what about steve ? `` that 's not a question that 's gon na go away , is it ? um , he 's awake and , um , resting comfortably . justin : with his memory intact . kayla : yeah . and there 's no ... reason that he should n't make a full recovery . but the overnight staff has been briefed , so i do n't see any reason that i ... i do n't really need to stay . justin : not medically . how 'bout personally ? will : [ clears throat ] wow , talk about an appetite suppressant . you know , sonny , i do believe in an open and trusting relationship , but you do n't have to tell me everything . sonny : did you not kind of force me to tell you ? will : no , i did not kind of force you . you mentioned having a weird dream , and i assumed that you wanted to talk about it , otherwise why the hell would you even bring it up ? and by the way , that dream was disgusting . sonny : it was disgusting . i agree . but now that it 's out in the open , maybe we should talk about why i had the dream . will : okay ... i mean , i hate to have to say this , but are you implying that there is something i did or said that made you think that i was attracted to that ... i ca n't even think of a term demeaning enough to describe leo . sonny : yeah , yeah , no , i , uh , i was not implying that at all . i 'm just -- i think i had the dream ... maybe because i have like some deep insecurities that i 'm not dealing with or i 'm just really messed up . i do n't know . will : [ laughs ] do you remember like three minutes ago when we were having like a nice , normal dinner ? sonny : hold on -- but that was n't the weirdest part about my dream . will : okay , well , then , please spare me the weirder part because the less weird part already made me almost hurl . sonny : okay , well , fine . i 'll just , uh , shut up and ... we wo n't talk about the dream . will : okay , well , now we have to talk about the dream because you brought it up again and now you got ta tell me the rest of it . sonny : are you sure ? will : yes . i think -- yes , i 'm sure . sonny : okay , well , i dreamed that leo talked us into buying a baby from him , and then it turned out that he stole the baby from abe and sheila . will : what ? ! how -- how long was this dream ? sonny : do you know what it reminded me of ? will : what , not to eat pepperoni before bed ? sonny : no , that you and i ... we talked about having another kid . will : you 're right , yeah . on mother 's day . and we said we 'd discuss it further when i got home , but ... then the accident happened . sonny : and everything went to hell for us . but that 's in the past now , so i was just wondering if you would like to talk about it again . xander : i love sarah . i would have made her happy . eric : i do n't think sociopaths make good husbands . xander : i 'm not a sociopath . eric : like hell you 're not ! you 're a sociopath who 'd stand by and smugly watch the agony that kristen and brady went through . now it 's sarah who 's only at the beginning of the same agony -- what ? even you can see that there 's nothing you can do . there 's nothing that anybody can do . as much animosity as i 've had towards kristen , to see her go through what she went through after the loss of her daughter ... brady thought she was gon na crack through that grief . that she would go insane , that she would take her own life . now sarah , she 's feeling that same nightmare and only sarah 's gon na face the pain of that black hole . that 's all because of you . sarah : you and i have been through a lot together , huh , have n't we , sweetheart ? [ baby coos ] yeah . your first ... [ sniffles ] your first laugh , your first smile , the first time you crawled . [ sniffling ] then ... then you got sick ... i quit filling this out as much , you know ? i was afraid of ... jinxing it . but then you got better and ... and i started -- i started filling it out again . [ laughs ] [ sniffles ] but i guess it 's gon na be kristen 's job to fill it out now . she lost ... [ sniffling ] she lost the first year with you and even worse , she ... she had to watch it . she watched me raise the sweetest little girl to ever be born . i do n't think kristen will mind if i keep this book , right ? she does n't need a book of memories -- she 's gon na have you . and baby , i have to believe that she 's gon na be a really good mama . she 's done ... questionable things in the past , but ... but brady swears that she 's changed , and i have to believe that . you know , for your sake . 'cause , really , i do n't -- what choice do i have , you know ? [ somber music ] has asthma pushed you into a smaller life ? jack : it depends on how you define happiness . steve : ugh . you gon na double - talk me to death now ? cut the crap and tell me the truth . jack : truth is , i have n't spent that much time with them . steve : so ... justin does make her happy . jack : i think it 's more a matter of propinquity . steve : would you speak english , dude ? jack : the divorce papers came ... supposedly from you . justin 's a lawyer . he lost adrienne . kayla loved adrienne . kayla and justin started spending a lot of time together . they developed a closeness , which is the meaning of propinquity . steve : tell me this . are they livin ' together ? jack : yeah . steve : in my house ? jack : now , that 's the steve i 'm talking about . steve : just answer the question . jack : no . he moved in to kayla 's new place . so , no , they 're not living in your house . steve : but they made a home together . now you want me to break 'em up . jack : i want you to not give up . i 've been very supportive of their relationship . full disclosure here . i 've also told justin not to give up . steve : oh , great . so now you 're jerking us both around ? jack : i care about you both . i want you both to be happy . steve : well , you ai n't gon na get your wish , dude . because only one of us can be with kayla . kayla : steve has a lot to grapple with . justin : does he have any memory of pretending to be stefano all this time ? kayla : no . justin : wow . so he has to deal with all the stuff that he did during that time as well as the loss of adrienne . kayla : yeah . justin : it is a lot . kayla : but he has a good support system . his brothers are with him and jack will stay there as long as he needs him . justin : so if steve has a ... a memory gap that big , i - i guess he must have assumed that the two of you could just pick up where you were when he left . kayla : well , as you know , steve and i were not in a good place when he was arrested . justin : mm - hmm . is that how steve remembers it ? kayla : are you trying to get out of making me dinner ? justin : [ light laugh ] so now steve wants to be with you . kayla : i told you , he knows about us . justin : hmm . what you did n't tell me is if you want to be with him . eric : sarah , it 's me , eric . can i come in ? sarah ? are you here ? [ suspenseful music ] oh , god . where did you go ? will : well , the reason that i ... i warmed up to the idea of having another child was because of the conversation i had with abigail about having two kids . and she said that two is a lot more complicated but ultimately convinced me that , you know , it would be worth it . sonny : so you ... still wan na go ahead with it ? will : i mean , it -- it 's a big step , you know ? i mean , whether we used a surrogate or adopt , it 's ... it 's gon na be a long process . sonny : i know . guess that 's why people steal babies . [ both laughing ] will : yeah . sonny : sarah ? sarah : uh , hi . sonny : hey , what are you doing ? i thought you and xander were getting married tonight . sarah : the wedding 's over . i just wanted to stop and grab mickey a couple of things before we go on our honeymoon . sonny : oh , you 're taking her with you ? sarah : yeah , it was a last - minute decision . i just realized that i could n't stand to be separated from her . real strawberries . eric : did , uh , did sarah come down here ? xander : no . why ? eric : because she 's not upstairs . the baby is n't up there either . xander : car 's not here . eric : oh , my god . kristen : [ sighs ] when i get my hands on xander , he will wish he 'd never been born . brady : kristen , i hate his guts too -- i have for a long time . kristen : you know what , this is different . brady : no , this is also the past that we 're talking about . we need -- we need to think about the future right now . our little baby is alive and well . it 's not gon na be long before we 're all a family together and happy . kristen : yeah , but he gets to get off scot - free ? come on ! brady : oh , god , i 'm sure sarah is making him pay in ways that we can only imagine . kristen : right . brady : kristen . kristen : ugghhh ! brady : kristen , this is ... this is her last night with rachel , all right ? [ liquid pouring ] her last night . kristen : yeah . i - i - i - i ca n't wait the whole night , brady . i do n't think i can even wait until tomorrow . brady : all right , listen , i 'll call eric , i 'll feel it out . but like i said -- hey , like i said , i think it 's important that we give them the decent amount of time to say good - bye . this is the worst night of their life , okay ? kristen : yeah , but at least ... at least they 'll know she 's alive . at least they 'll know she 's alive -- at least they know she is alive ! because we went through months , brady ... months thinking that our baby was dead . and i have to be honest . it is taking every ounce of self - control that i have right now not to just rush over there right now .

you scared the hell out of me . nicole : i 'm here to give you a mayday . i saw marlena . and she 's alert . she remembers seeing us together , and now she 's a real threat . jan : marlena 's a threat ? i do n't think so . she 's got her own problems . besides , no one 's ever going to find out who killed victor . luck is on our side . shawn is coming to my country house for a visit . is n't that fabulous ? he 's going to be my houseguest . nicole : that is never going to happen . you 're never going to get shawn into that love cage . you know what ? and even if you do , you 're the one who 's going to be behind bars . do n't you understand ? you 'll never be able to let shawn go . jennifer : so , what 's going on ? i heard voices , and i could swear i heard someone saying my name . who were you talking to ? patrick : i just ran into a friend of my mother . he was volunteering at the hospital and worked with alice horton . i was , uh , talking to him about you . jennifer : oh . well , what were you saying ? patrick : i told him that i wanted to make sure you and the baby were safe , and as long as i was around , i hoped nothing bad happened to you . nicole : marlena is not stupid . at some point , she 's going to figure out that you were my accomplice , that we conspired to kill victor . what if she plea- bargains ?

nicole : yeah . it 's time . actually , it 's past time , daniel . i need to tell you everything . marybeth : what are you doing here , girl ? paige : hey . marybeth : you just hanging around the park , waiting to see if anyone -- oh , my god . you 're hanging out with that criminal , are n't you ? paige : [ scoffs ] will you stop calling him that ? marybeth : why ? jj almost went to prison for , like , decades . he 's on parole . paige : probation . try giving him a break . marybeth : i ca n't even count the reasons why you should n't be with that loser . come on , listen to your best friend , will you ? let 's go get some coffee or something . paige : marybeth , why do you hate him so much ? marybeth : i do n't -- i do n't hate him . he does n't even qualify enough for me to think about him that hard . i 'm just trying to keep you from getting involved with someone who 's only gon na drag you down . jj : what are you doing home ? i thought you went to chicago to get those things for the hospital . abigail : i did , and now i 'm back , but we were n't talking about me . we were talking about paige , remember ? i liked her that time we met . i think she 's so cute , but you already know that , do n't you , obviously ? oh , my god . oh , look how red you 're turning . jj : all right , will you just stop , okay ? i mean it . abigail : okay . jj : go do that thing that you 're doing for mom . we do n't need to talk about paige . abigail : you 're right . we do n't . but we 're going to . hope : i just heard . jennifer : [ sighs ] hope : bad day around here . jennifer : really bad day . could you excuse us , liam , please ? liam : oh , yeah , sure . uh , i - i 'll get out of your way . take care . remember , i - i 'm here when you need me . jennifer : it 's official . daniel 's been suspended . hope : that was quick . jennifer : it 's policy . hope : okay , but , i mean , if he took himself out of the o.r . and turned the operation over to another doctor -- jennifer : no , nothing matters but the blood tests . they found 15 milligrams of dilaudid in his system . 10 milligrams is a huge amount , hope . hope : wow . and daniel says he did n't do it ? jennifer : no . that 's what we 're trying to tell people -- somebody did this to him . hope : do you have any idea who ? jennifer : no , but we have talked about it , and i know you 're not gon na want to hear this ... but we think it 's theresa . eric : mom , you know i 've been trying to work out how i feel about nicole and the -- and the church 's teachings . marlena : i know you want to stay within the church and -- and maybe even more so since you 've left the priesthood . eric : i do . it 's been a hard decision . i feel ... very torn . but ultimately , i think god has spoken to me very clearly . my life and my future is with the woman i love . even though i know the church wo n't approve , nicole and i are going to be married . marlena : well , right away ? daniel : nicole , there is nothing you ca n't tell me , right ? nicole : okay , um ... look , it all started because , uh ... you know i love eric so much , and i do n't know what i would do without him . [ cell phone rings ] daniel : okay , no , no , ignore that . ignore that . stay here . [ ringing continues ] nicole : and because i love him so much , i made some decisions that -- [ ringing continues ] daniel : okay , would you just l - leave it ? leave it . just talk to me , nicole . nicole : okay , you need to take this -- it 's brady . daniel : oh , my god , you are stubborn . brady , hey , what 's up ? brady : daniel , hey . i just heard . i know damn well you do n't do drugs , so what the hell happened ? daniel : i wish i knew . i was totally blindsided . brady : blindsi -- what -- what , do you think it was an accident , or ... or you think someone slipped you something ? daniel : mm , i was definitely set up . brady : do you have any idea ? daniel : well , brady , you 're on the hospital board . i ca n't talk to you about this . brady : you got it . um , i was just thinking about you , okay , man ? daniel : i appreciate that . all right , take care . all right , let 's get back to it . you were going to tell me -- nicole : daniel . i ca n't believe you 're going through this . you said you would be stuck with the consequences , and i finally realized that you could lose everything . daniel : okay , let 's not -- let 's not go there yet , okay ? i - i - i 've got tons of support . nicole : okay , but what if that 's not enough ? look what happened to eric . his career was ruined because kristen somehow got those drugs into him . daniel : ho -- ho -- ho -- ho -- ho -- hold on . this -- this is different . eric -- he had no idea what happened or who did it . now , have you talked to eric since i was in the hospital ? nicole : yeah . daniel : okay , then you know that jennifer and i -- we suspect that it was theresa . nicole : theresa , right . okay , well , you might think it 's her , but -- daniel : oh , i do n't just think , nicole . i know . and believe me , i will find a way to get her to admit it , and then i am gon na make that woman pay . nicole : no , daniel , wait a minute . you do n't understand . i came here to help you . but first , there 's just some things i need to tell you . hope : what ? theresa ? she never learns , does she ? jennifer : we do n't know she 's the one . hope : well , then you know what ? it 's time to find out , do n't you think ? and the best way to put pressure on theresa is through kimberly and shane . even if they just call and start asking , she 'll feel under the gun . then i 'll sit her down and question her -- jennifer : okay , i appreciate you wanting to help , but you just have to step back for right now . hope : why ? jennifer : because the hospital has certain procedures they have to follow . there has to be a whole internal investigation first . hope : okay . your call . jennifer : thanks . jj : hey , do n't go saying anything to mom about paige , will you ? abigail : why not ? jj : you know why . mom will bring it up every ten minutes and never stop asking about her . abigail : [ sighs ] kind of like you never stop thinking about her ? jj : abigail , will you just leave it ? and paige is n't a big deal . i mean , we 're friends ... friendly . i do n't even really care that much . abigail : jj , i - i think i need to give you some advice . jj : no . abigail : listen , there 's a much easier way to go about this than to just -- jj : did n't i just say `` no `` ? abigail : well , yeah , but i 'm your sister , so i do n't have to listen . here 's the thing . you have to think about how this is coming across to her , from -- from a woman 's perspective . jj : how what 's coming across ? abigail : you , your attitude . you 're trying so hard to be cool that you 're sending the wrong signals . it 's not a big deal . you do n't really care . keep that up , and paige might think that you actually do n't care . [ cell phone rings ] and trust me , you do . you would n't be blushing like that . i 've never -- oh , my god . jj : what ? abigail : daniel got suspended . uh , you -- you drive , and i 'll get the details . theresa : i was n't there till later , but that 's what maxine told eric at least . then the test came back dilaudid , and -- so then the hospital had to follow procedure and suspend him . brady : that 's unbelievable . theresa : well ... [ chuckles ] it 's not really . i mean , daniel 's hardly the first doctor to use something to get himself up or down . it goes on all the time . brady : no , no , no , no . daniel would never use drugs . theresa : i 'm not saying he 's , like , a chronic drug user , but ... [ sighs ] that 's just the buzz around the hospital , okay ? what ? brady , do n't look at me like that . i was with you this morning . and besides , i would n't do something like that . brady : his life could 've been at risk from that drug . theresa : right ... which is why i would n't do that to anyone , okay ? i 'm not that vindictive . [ sighs ] brady , come on ... you believe me , do n't you ? eric : no , mom , we 're not getting married right away , so you can put your heart back in your chest now . marlena : i did n't say anything against it . eric : you did n't have to . it 's going to happen . marlena : well , then fine . this had to be a very tough decision . the church teachings mean so much to you , maybe even more now that you 're no longer a priest . eric : true , but it 's the right decision . marlena : then i 'm happy for you . what ? what ? eric : there 's just something you 're not saying . come on , this is confession time . we have to clear the air now . daniel : you know , nicole , you do n't , uh -- you do n't have to explain . i already know . nicole : you do ? daniel : you are an amazing friend , you know that ? nicole : [ sighs ] daniel : you want to do what you did with eric , use your job , the database at the tv station , access information and clear my name , right ? nicole : yeah , i mean , that 's the idea . daniel : and that is very , very thoughtful . and honestly , i 'm ... i 'm touched . but i got to say i do n't think this is the way we should go with this one . and , i mean , yeah , you really put the pressure on chyka , and what you did there , mm , it was -- it was great , and we almost cleared eric 's name . i mean , we came so close . but you -- you got to remember . theresa has a video of jj at her apartment the night she od 'd . and it could get his probation revoked , and he could be sent directly to prison , and that would kill jennifer . nicole : yeah , but theresa might not be -- daniel : theresa is a volcano . just stay away from theresa . nicole : okay . understood . daniel : good . thank you . thank you so much . it 's just ... nicole : actually , daniel , my plan here is that ... [ sighs ] first , i just need to explain some things to you . i just ... daniel : okay , what ? is it about the plan ? just talk to -- [ knocks at door ] daniel : okay , just hold -- just hang -- hold on , hold on . i 'll -- i 'll get ... abigail : hi . daniel : hey . abigail : hey . hi , nicole . jj : i just heard , man . this really sucks . w - what can we do ? abigail : yeah , you name it . we 'll do anything . daniel : well , nicole here -- i think she had some sort of plan she was trying to lay out . she 's about to go into the details . abigail : great . daniel : nicole ? when jake and i first set out on our own , marlena : i want you ... to be happy . if she makes you happy , then i say you go for it . eric : [ scoffs ] marlena : [ laughing ] what now ? eric : i never thought i 'd hear you say that . [ cell phone rings ] eric : ah . i need to get going . i just ... thank you . this means a lot to me . i 'll call you later . marlena : you 'd better . aiden : oh , hey . eric : oh , hey . good to see you . marlena : aiden jennings -- the man i 've been looking for . chase : um , miss brady ? hope : hey , chase . chase : um , i 'm on a field trip . it 's to watch how they make frozen yogurt . hope : wow . good for you . sounds like fun . how are you ? chase : i might as well give this to you now . then i wo n't have to mail it . hope : oh . chase : it 's a thank - you note . hope : well , thank you . uh , you did n't have to do this . chase : my dad made me . hope : oh . bye . [ chuckles ] `` thank you for getting the bad guy . he was gon na steal my phone , and you were really cool . yours sincerely , chase jennings . `` marybeth : does n't this prove something , paige ? jj says he 's gon na meet up with you and then blows you off ? paige : he 's just late . i should text him . marybeth : should n't he be the one texting you ? paige : marybeth , it -- it was -- it was just a casual thing , not like a date date . maybe something happened . i do n't know . marybeth : or maybe he found something better to do ... or someone to do it with . daniel : nicole , is there something ... nicole : i , um ... well , i mean , i need to -- you know , why do n't we talk strategy later ? daniel : right , yeah . no , i - i - i think it can wait . yeah , but do n't worry . yeah , nicole has ways of finding out information like nobody can . abigail : because she works at the television station , right ? daniel : exactly . jj : yeah , i - i heard that you were really into helping father eric . [ cell phone rings ] jj : almost got enough evidence to clear him . well , that 's what cousin hope said . nicole : almost . abigail : well , anything that you can do to help daniel is great . listen , i got to get going . my mom needs me at the hospital , so ... daniel : okay , great . all right , well , just give -- give her my love . abigail : i will . thanks , bye . oh , um ... good luck , nicole . nicole : thanks . jj : i 'll see you . [ thud ] nicole : what was that ? daniel : ah . that would be my son parker . sounds like he 's awake . i will be right back . nicole : [ sighs ] so , um ... you just hanging out ? jj : yeah . yeah . i mean , this whole thing ... theresa doing something like this to daniel . nicole : if she did it . jj : are you kidding ? sticking it to people is what she does . nicole : right . well , i got to go , so , um , just tell daniel i 'll call him later . jj : uh , n - nicole , w - wait . please ? um ... i was really rotten to you ... you know , the stuff that i said , you know , back when ? nicole : yeah , i seem to remember . mm - hmm . jj : well , i - i wanted to tell you that i 'm sorry . i was , um -- i was a jerk , and i was screwed up . and i 'm -- i 'm sorry . nicole : wow . usually i 'm the one who 's apologizing . it 's okay . we 're good . jj : thanks . thanks . so do you actually think that your job , you know , can help you figure out how theresa did it ? nicole : i got to go . just tell daniel that i 'll call him later . jj : right . nicole : [ sighs ] liam : you stay out of my business , and i 'll happily stay out of yours . but remember , all you have is conjecture , offhanded theories . i 've got hard evidence in hand . theresa : brady , do you believe me or not ? brady : let me explain something to you . i have issues with daniel ... and jennifer and my family and this whole damn town because they do n't want me drinking . and i 've taken a lot of crap because i 've been seeing you . but ... in case you have n't noticed ... i do n't listen to anybody but me when it comes to my personal life , all right ? theresa : [ sighs ] brady : did you overhear me on the phone earlier ? theresa : [ sighs ] that daniel never did drugs ? brady : that 's right . he 's my friend . he 's my good friend . as a matter of fact , he 's probably my best friend i have in this town . and i love jenn very much . i protect the people that i love fiercely , theresa . so , if anybody messes with them or if anyone tries to hurt them ... i 'd crush them . is that clear ? theresa : you did n't answer my question . fighting constipation by aiden : uh , you know , i wanted to thank you for interviewing my client and sending that report to the judge . it was very helpful . marlena : you 're so welcome . and i must thank you for the referral . i now have a new client thanks to you . aiden : i 'm sorry ? marlena : well , somebody from your son 's school -- i assume that was your referral ? aiden : uh , no , i did n't refer anyone . marlena : oh . sorry . i guess i assumed that when you asked for my card . aiden : uh , well , um ... [ clears throat ] that was , uh ... personal . brady : yes , i believe you ... for now . theresa : [ sighs ] excuse me ? what the hell kind of comment is that ? brady : listen , i need to know the truth . i need to know what happened . you were here with me this morning when daniel was at the hospital , right ? i will back that up if anyone tries to challenge that . but you -- your whereabouts when daniel actually got the hit may not be the issue . theresa : oh . right . you mean , like , if i got one of my secret agents to just go in and stick him with a needle when he was bending over to tie his shoe ? god , i mean , why the hell are you accusing me of something you know damn well i did n't do ? brady : listen to me . i like you . i like you very much . we have a lot of fun together . it 's great , but you have had this thing with daniel and jennifer since you came to town , this over - the - top hatred for them , and they want nothing to do with you , theresa . theresa : yeah , well , that 's mutual . that does n't mean that i drugged daniel . brady : i hope you did n't . i pray to god that you did n't . and the fact that you 're here right now sharing this with me and talking to me about it tells me that you did n't . theresa : [ sighs ] brady : but i s -- i still ... theresa : you still what ? suspect me ? brady : if it turns out that you were pulling off some -- some elaborate cover story , and that you lied to me or held anything back ... you 're gon na have a much bigger problem than whether or not you and i hang out together . paige : why would jj forget about meeting me and find someone else to -- are you talking about that girl beth ? marybeth : or any other loser who walks by in a tight skirt . guys go for whoever gives them what they want . paige : no , jj 's not like that . marybeth : you think ? he has n't showed , has he ? has n't texted ? paige : no . marybeth : no . so forget about him , okay ? come on , let 's go to tbd and get something to drink . paige : but if he -- yeah , okay . daniel : hurry up . parker 's getting ready . my sitter 's meeting us in a little while . where 's nicole ? jj : she left . listen , about theresa , there 's got to be some way i can help you take her down . daniel : what ? no . jj -- no , we talked about this . i do n't want you doing anything . clear ? zero . remember what she has on you ? jj : yeah , and i 'm the reason why you ca n't really go after her . daniel : okay , do n't do a guilt trip on yourself , jj . jj : no , no , i - i 'm serious . no , i mean it . if there is a way , any way , that you can bring that bitch down , you do what you got to do . daniel : [ sighs ] jj : but whatever happens to me happens . and ... if i end up going to prison , then so be it . eric : sorry i 'm running late . i was -- nicole , what 's wrong ? nicole : [ sighs ] i , um ... daniel 's in terrible trouble . i wanted to help , but i did n't . i am such a jerk . eric : it 's gon na be all right . i promise , okay ? look at you . you are ready to take on the world just to help a friend . that 's one more reason why i love you . you 're a wonderful friend . nicole : no , stop saying that . no , i 'm not . i 'm horrible . daniel : uh , jj , i - i appreciate that you care , but there is no way we are gon na put you at risk . look , i got this , man . i 'm gon na get this done . i got your mom . i got nicole , eric , all sorts of people in my corner . you need to concentrate on school and living your life . jj : okay . okay , thank you , and ... i really appreciate that . daniel : and like i said , i appreciate your concern . your wanting to help me , it -- it means a lot to me . all right , i got to get going . joanna 's meeting us at 3 : 00 , so ... jj : 3 : 00 ? oh , no , i - i was supposed to meet someone at 2 : 00 . daniel : well , then you better get going . jj : [ sighs ] okay , um ... all right , man , thank you . all right , we 'll talk soon . daniel : you got it . jj : i hope everything works out . daniel : it will . it will . go . go . jj : [ sighs ] paige is gon na kill me . marybeth : i 'm just saying , okay ? and a guy like jj 's not worth worrying about anyway , so ... paige : marybeth , can -- can we just drop it , please ? i 'm gon na go get our drinks , maybe some cookies . nicole : why does everyone keep saying i 'm this great friend ? i 'm not . i have n't done anything to help daniel . he 's this -- he 's this terrific doctor , and he 's been suspended , and i have n't done a thing ! eric : hey , nicole , do n't blame yourself . nicole : but it 's wrong . it is so wrong . eric : no , no , no , you just listen to me . after what you did , you tried to help me ... god , you did everything you can by risking your life trying to get me reinstated in the priesthood . and now you think you have to do something extraordinary to help daniel , and if you do n't , you 're not working hard enough . do n't blame yourself if you ca n't achieve a miracle . nicole : eric ... i could 've helped him more than i have -- a lot more . eric : okay , okay , listen . the way i heard daniel , he made it very clear that we need to tread carefully . and after i talked to theresa , i backed away , okay ? so , if he needs you to do anything that involves theresa , he 'll ask . nicole : but what if people are -- are missing something ? marlena : i 'm sorry . i did n't understand . aiden : no , no , no , it 's -- it 's not your fault . i kept it sort of vague when i asked for your card , so ... marlena : that 's fine . if i can help you in any way ... aiden : look ... i know you 're the best , okay ? and your reputation is terrific . but i also know that you are incredibly connected to almost everyone in salem . marlena : so , if you 're wondering ... i take confidentiality very seriously . whatever you would say to me privately would stay private . aiden : right . right , um ... hope : hey , marlena . hi . hi , aiden . aiden : hey . hope : uh , sorry . am i interrupting ? aiden : [ chuckles ] no . theresa : what the hell , brady ? i mean , you say you believe me , but , oh -- oh , yeah , you do n't . brady : theresa ... i do believe you . theresa : yeah , till you can prove i 'm a liar , right ? brady : hey . i never said that . listen -- listen ... i will defend you against anyone who comes after you about this , all right ? you were here with me . i know that . but i need to investigate this until i find the truth . theresa : here it comes . brady : theresa , if i find out ... something ... that leads to your involvement in this , no matter how small ... i will come after you , okay ? theresa : yeah , well , guess what . you wo n't find anything . you know , i know no one believes this , brady , but i 'm actually a pretty good person . so ... i 'm gon na give you a pass for all those nasty threats you just made . just so you know , i - i wo n't wait forever for you to make it up to me . liam : what 's that ? theresa : the key to dr. dan 's apartment . [ sighs ] i did n't know he 'd really do something . no , it -- it 's -- it 's not my fault . it -- [ sighs ] maybe i should just admit what i did . i mean , sometimes ... sometimes things just get worse when you try to hide that -- no -- agh . i do n't know what the hell -- i do n't know what the hell to do . okay , just ... i just need to mellow out . [ sighs ] jennifer : [ sighs ] liam : hey . jennifer : oh , hi . liam : look , i know when we talked earlier , you were ... well , upset , so ... jennifer : yeah , i - i 'm fine now . liam : good . believe me , i know how hard it is when you realize you 've been fooled by someone for a very long time . when my ex - wife turned out to -- jennifer : you know , liam , i do n't think that i was clear earlier , so let me spell it out for you . i believe in daniel completely , and i know that he would never do any kind of drug willingly . i will never doubt him . jj : [ sighs ] she left . [ sighs ] [ cell phone ringing ] aiden : uh , no , no , no , you 're not interrupting at all . i was just thanking marlena for some work she did for the court . hope : oh . marlena : yep , and i have an appointment . i must dash . so good to see you , aiden . aiden : yes , you too . marlena : and , you , call me . we 'll have coffee . hope : absolutely . you can count on it . bye . i did n't know you and marlena knew each other . eric : probably we are all missing something , missing a lot of things . now , how someone could get daniel to take such a powerful painkiller is -- is bizarre . nicole : which sort of implies that someone like theresa could n't pull it off . eric : maybe . maybe she had help . what we need is the truth to come out , but we need the truth to come out in the right way . nicole : yeah . it has to be done the right way . daniel : all right , parker , you be good for joanna . all right , have fun . brady : hey . i heard . jennifer : yeah . it 's really bad . it is worse than bad . brady : and your main suspect is theresa . jennifer : she 's at the top of our list . brady : jenn , do n't take this the wrong way . is there any way it could be somebody else ... anyone at all you can think of ? liam : what the hell is the matter with you , jennifer ? i 'm the one you should be with , not that son of a bitch doctor . i could -- i could -- i could -- i could destroy daniel jonas . it would n't be hard . easy , in fact . well ... [ chuckles ] jenn , if you 're just gon na make me do it , then i 'll have to do it , wo n't i ? the sooner , the better . | nicole told daniel that she had to help him . liam wanted to be there for jennifer , but she did n't want his help . she was excited when hope showed up . theresa went to brady to see if he was going to blow her off . she told him what happened to daniel . jennifer told hope about what 's going on with daniel . she also told hope about her suspicions of theresa . eric told marlena that he was going to marry nicole . daniel told nicole that theresa was the one who set him up . nicole wanted to tell daniel what happened . hope wanted to help jennifer get theresa , but jennifer wanted to wait to do anything . theresa told brady that she did n't drug daniel , but brady did n't look convinced . marlena was n't over the moon with eric marrying nicole at first . before nicole could tell him what she did , abby and jj showed up to check on daniel . |

victor : old news , brady . brady : tell that to the shareholders , granddad . besides , we know that analysis is garbage anyway . anybody can crunch some numbers and make themselves look good , kate . kate : i do n't have to make myself look good . i am good . and victor and i have been doing this since you were in diapers . brady : well , i 'm all grown up now , and i 'm taking titan to the future . i 'll come back when you 've come to your senses and thrown her out . kate : so , what 's it gon na be ?

[ laughs ] not what i meant . i was saying that i could take the pictures as a wedding gift . i mean , you knew that i was a professional photographer , right ? sarah : oh , my god , yes . yeah , of course . that totally slipped my mind . that 's a really generous offer , eric . eric : well , it is one thing you can cross off your list and , i mean , it could be amazing . i mean , it 'd be really easy . i mean , especially of you -- you 're beautiful . ( susan n ) i 'm susan nimoy . eric : i 'm speaking as a photographer , of course . both : [ laughs softly ] eric : i mean , you and rex -- you 're photogenic . sarah : oh , yeah . you know , if this whole doctor thing does n't work out , it was gon na be runway modeling all the way , so ... eric : [ laughs ] sarah : no , i 'm serious . this is an amazing offer . i should probably run it by the groom . [ cell phone ringing ] [ keypad beeps ] rex : mom , hey . kate : do n't , don't . do n't you `` hey `` me . do n't you be so casual when you 're going to be operating on my grandson . rex : will told you . kate : no . no , will didn't . maggie did , and by mistake . she thought that i knew . she did n't realize that my family did n't tell me something so important , but i 'm not even gon na get into that right now , not when you 're going to have to operate , but let me tell you . you better not screw up . rex : well , actually , i was thinking about having a few beers before the surgery , you know , just to take the edge off . kate : that is not funny in the least , rex . rex : mom , of course . i am not going to screw this up . kate : you better not , because if anything happens to will , i will never , ever forgive you . rex : well , thank you for that vote of confidence . the endorsements are just coming in fast and furious today . kate : do n't feel so sorry for yourself . just go ahead and do your job . [ keypad beeps ] [ sighs ] victor : you okay ? kate : what do you care ? you 've never liked will . you never thought he was good enough for your precious sonny .

[ laughs softly ] stefan : well , there 's nothing really romantic going on there . gabi : oh , ah ? what happened ? did you lose your touch ? stefan : [ laughs ] no . she does n't wan na think about getting involved with anybody until el fideo 's men are caught . she wants to focus on her kids . gabi : sounds frustrating . are you -- as a man ... stefan : i 'm fine . gabi : i just -- i know what it 's like to be celibate when you 're a sexual person . i mean , it 's been a really long time for me . last person i was with was eli . whoa , ca n't believe i just said that out loud . probably sounds really pathetic . stefan : the last person i was with was abigail 's alter , and most people did n't even think she was real , so ... gabi : [ snickers ] stefan : it 's not funny . gabi : i 'm sorry . i 'm not laughing at you . i 'm just laughing at the whole situation . stefan : ah . gabi : you know , two dynamic , driven , attractive people , all alone . stefan : what 's laughable about that ? gabi : can i be blunt ? stefan : please . gabi : okay , well , i was just -- here it goes . i just think maybe the two of us could use some hot , no - string sex . it 's not like we have a chance in hell of getting any . limu emu & doug brady : okay , this is harder than it looks . you 're not kidding . chloe : i know ... [ laughs ] stefan got it for holly , and he was supposed to put it together and teach her how to fly the kite , but he had to cancel because of some crisis at work , i guess . brady : of course . chloe : but , um , lucky us , you were here to save the day . brady : well , i 'm trying to save the day , and i think -- i think it looks pretty good , huh ? holly : uh - huh . brady : you think it 's gon na work ? i think we get some wind . i think it 's gon na fly right up to the sky ... chloe : wow , thank you , brady . brady : you 're welcome . chloe : how about after we take it for a spin , you maybe join us for a picnic ? brady : i think there 's nothing else that i would rather do . thank you . gabi : so , for once , you 're speechless . stefan : i 'm just wondering why you said that . wait , were you suggesting something ? gabi : what ? of course not . what , you and me ? no , that is completely out of the question . stefan : yeah , 'cause we work together . gabi : no , because we hate each other . right ? sarah : these were all taken in africa ? eric : yeah , in congo . sarah : oh , my gosh . this little boy 's eyes are incredible . [ gentle music ] nicole . wow . i mean , the lighting and ... and the way that she 's sitting . it 's just stunning . eric : [ chuckles ] when we first met , she used to be a waitress . she always dreamed of being a model . i thought she had real natural talent , and , uh , she did . sarah : [ laughs softly ] eric : we , uh , we took a lot of pictures . it 's how we met when we fell in love . mm , yeah , i miss her . sarah : i know . kate : come on . you never liked will . you can admit it .

[ sighs ] i tell you something . i 'm just not gon na sit here . i 'm gon na go to the hospital . victor : no , do n't do that . you promised will you wouldn't . he said he 'd keep you posted . just let him stand by that . kate : just do n't tell me it 's too early for me to go back to my place and fix myself a martini . victor : never too early for that . and do n't forget this . kate : well , i guess this means it 's a no . you wo n't be hiring me back to titan . victor : no , it doesn't . it 's a very impressive piece of work . maybe there is still a place for you at titan . we 'll work out the details after we 're sure that will 's gon na be all right . will : [ sighs ] you know , you 're right . we are really lucky . but , um , i do n't know . what if , one day , our luck runs out ? sonny : it wo n't , okay , because this is n't about luck . it 's about medicine , and everyone says rex is the best . rex : me again . you guys all set ? will : [ grunting , gurgling ] sonny : oh , my god , will ! will ! rex : will ? will ? will ? [ dramatic music ] | will , sonny , & gabi tell arianna about will having to go to the doctor . eric calls jennifer and leaves her a message assuring her that jack and eve 's marriage wo n't last which rex overhears and thinks he 's talking about he and sarah . rex goes off on eric until he explains and then rex apologizes . rex and sarah end up telling eric that they have set a wedding date which is soon . stefan tells chloe that they are closer to catching el fideo 's men and he cleared his schedule so they can take holly out for a picnic and to teach her to fly a kite . kate goes to the kiriakis mansion and shows victor her financial analysis on titan to encourage him to hire her . brady comes in and says he 's the ceo and he 's not interested . after brady leaves , maggie comes in and mentions will 's surgery which kate is shocked to hear about as no one had told her . |

john : my half - brother is a snake , but he 's not the gentlemen 's club kind , which means two things -- tony is up to something ... ops : and ? john : we 've got to find out what . roman : all right , uh , let me get this straight . you are saying you want a bug sweeper . marlena : yes . roman : well , i assume we 're not talking ants and roaches here . is somebody spying on one of your clients ? marlena : no . on me . roman : does john know this ? marlena : firsthd . john was very concerned about the time i 'm spending with tony , so he planted a bugging device on me . roman : i see . well , i mean , i understand why you 're upset , but i also understand why john did it . marlena : because he does n't trust tony . nobody trusts tony . you know how tired i am of hearing that ? yes , the man is a dimera , but can we put our prejudice aside and give him a chance ? we do n't judge people based on their race , on their religion . why should we judge somebody based on their name ? roman : so , what , you think tony 's changed ? marlena : i think that fatherhood has changed him . it changed you , did n't it ? roman : doc , we 're not talking about me . marlena : tony is at a crossroads in his life , and i - i believe he really wants to change the direction -- turn his life around . h - he 's a father . he wants to do it for his children . why would n't he wanto change ? john wo n't give him a chance . i think that 's unfair . roman : well , let me ask you this -- i mean , for you -- this belief that tony 's changed -- i mean , could n't that be about your feelings for him ? marlena : i want peace now , that 's what i want -- in my hous and the house of dimera . roman : and that 's why you want the bug sweeper . marlena : john planted a tracking device on me without my knowledge . i do n't want that to happen again . so ... can you ? will you help me ? ñx are you right ñ q q ç q t t t q q q ú ñ shawn - d : a couple minutes , okay ? and i promise , i 'll go . i 'll leave you alone . belle : okay . gabriella : i can tell you 're still upset , count dimera , and i 'm truly sorry , but once the fur starts flying , it just kind of builds momentum . you know . but that 's the fun of it , you see . that 's what we 're looking for . tony : is it ? gabriella : on the show , i mean -- `` love is blind . `` you should see some of the stuff we 've got on tape . tony : i 'd rather not . you see , i do n't find it that much fun , anyway . i ca n't think why you would encourage young ladies to behave so badly and treating each other so shabbily . i i think it 's appalling . gabriella : well ... to each his own . tony : who are you , anyway ? gabriella : gabriella ortiz , producer . and i must say , count dimera , i do understand that our show is n't everyone 's cup of tea . tony : you can say that again . gabriella : in fact , i welcome criticism . i 'm totally open to it . oh , and ... you can call me gabi . tony : listen , i 'm rather busy just now . cassie : you know , you two have a lot in common , dad . gabi not only produces `` love is blind , `` she created it . it was her idea . tony : was it ? that says a lot . now if you 'll excuse me ... cassie : oh , but , dad -- tony : cassie ! cassie : fine . let 's leave him alone now . gabriella : of course . it was a pleasure meeting you , count dimera . i look forward to seeing you again . tony : oh , my god . belle : shawn , i really do n't have time for this . shawn - d : please , just -- you promised me a couple minutes , okay ? so herit goes . i 'm going to make it short . i miss you . i miss us . i know i screwed up big - time , okay ? but th - this is crazy ! 'cause we belong together . i really believe that , and i think you do , too . you 're just too upset or angry to admit that right now , and i understand why . so here 's the deal -- i promise to be more sympathetic to you and your feelings , and you just agree to not look so depressed when you 're with me , or act so disappointed . all right ? so what do you think ? 'cause i 'm ready to change . are you ? brady : look , chloe , my grandfather does have reservations about you . i admit that . but he also knows that i love you , and he respects that . i swear he does ! chloe : he 's playing you , brady . it 's all part of his plan to draw you closer . brady : chloe , please , no . that 's -- that 's -- chloe : the man masterminds international mergers and corporate takeovers . something as little as getting you to drop me ? that 's like child 's play to him . brady : well , thank you for your vote of confidence . do you really think that i 'm that easily controlled ? chloe : i di't't think philip was that easily controlled , either , but he was . brady : philip did not end your relationship , chloe . you did . my grandfather had nothing to do with that . chloe : he set the stage . brady : are you saying that you wish you had n't broken up with philip ? chloe : no , of course t.t . i love you . brady : then what are you saying ? chloe : i 'm -- woman : sorry , you 'll have to step outside while i draw blood . brady : can this wait just a few more minutes , please ? woman : no , this ca n't wait . chloe : why not ? oh , my god , something 's wrong , is n't it ? woman : everything 's fine , chloe . it 's just that i have a deadline for getting these blood samples to the lab , and i 'm right up against it . c chloe : oh . woman : i 'm sure i do n't have to tell you that dr . wesley is monitoring these results very carefully . chloe : to make sure that the transplant is taking . woman : exactly . chloe : and they do n't know anything yet ? woman : i suppose not , but they still want more tests . brady : okay , i 'll be back in a few minutes . i love you . chloe : i love you . shawn - d : so what do you say ? are you willing to try ? gabriella : got ta go ! the limo 's waiting ! cassie : i am so excited . do you think that my makeup 's too heavy ? gabriella : no , it 's perfect , honey . you 're gorgeous . mimi : do we get to see the hunk without a blindfold this time ? gabriella : not until the end of the dinner date . shawn - d : belle ... gabriella : let 's go , girls . come on .

john : would you like to discuss this over dinner ? marlena : mm - hmm . tuscany ? john : fine . i 'll grab my stuff . marlena : we can stop by the house so i can change . mimi : oh , my , oh , my , oh , my . how did i go this long ? how did i survive without it ? cassie : without what ? mimi : show biz . i 'm totally hooked . the lights , the cameras , people powdering my adorable little nose . that is a direct quote from the makeup artist , by the way . she said i have an adorable nose . cassie : why are you so into this ? mimi : what ? you 're not ? cassie : i just ca n't help but wonder -- were you leading my brother on ? mimi : was i what ? cassie : you acted like you were all hot for him . mimi : i was . i mean , what 's not to be hot for ? but when you keep turning the ignition and stepping on the gas , and you still ca n't get the engine to turn over , it 's like -- rex ! hey . i was just talking about -- rex : what ? mimi : how much i wish i ... could get a new car . shawn - d : where 's belle ?

chloe : compared to before the transplant ? not too bad . brady : well , you look better . so , if you look good and you elel good , that must mean the transplant 's working , right ? chloe : yeah , maybe , unless my body decides to reject it . brady : but we 're not gon na talk that way , are we ? chloe : right . only positive thoughts . brady : exactly . so , why do n't we get back to our previous discussion , okay ? chloe : i do n't want to , brady . it 's upsetting . brady : chloe , we have to talk about it . it 's important . chloe : you do n't see it the way that i do . brady : i know my grandfather . chloe : you do n't know how he feels about me , not really . brady : yes , i do . and i agree with him . chloe : you do ?

is that why you suggested tuscany ? chloe : what on earth are you talking about , brady ? who ever said anything about -- why would victor think that i could be his daughter - in - law ? brady : or granddaughter- in - law . chloe : where is this coming from , brady ? i mean , you and i have never discussed marriage . brady : victor knew that you were all wrong for philip , and that philip was all wrong for you . but i 'm not philip . i just have to let victor see how perfect we are for each other . it 's child 's play . chloe : okay . but what about ... brady : the marriage thing ? well , i think that you and i , in the not - so- distant future , should possibly , maybe give it some thought . chloe : you do ? brady : absolutely . of course , when you 're completely well . because , face it , you are stuck with me . chloe : i guess somebody has to be . rex : look , i 've got stuff i have to take care of , so ... mimi : yeah , well , i 've got stuff to take care of , too , mr . high - and - mighty . belle : shawn , i made a commitment . i signed a contract . and even if i had n't , it would n't be fair to the producers or mimi and cassie . shawn - d : since when do you care about cassie ?

i mean , there 's definitely no way he 'll accuse me of looking depressed and acting disappointed . belle : what , not perfect like yours is , shawn ? shawn - d : oh , belle -- belle : come on , you know that physical attraction 's not that important to me . shawn - d : oh , really ? that 's funny , because the other day at the gym , i could have sworn you were checking me out the whole time . belle : what an ego ! shawn - d : deny it all you want , belle black . you love me body , mind , and soul , the same way that i love you . belle : you do ? shawn - d : how many times do i have to say it ? i love you . i always have , i always will . i love your eyes . i love your hair . and i love the way you laugh . and i love that serious look you get on your face when you 're studying really hard . i even love the fact that you 're a perfectionist . and it scares me sometimes , because it makes me worry that i 'm not perfect enough for you . because i know that i screwed up . and i wish i could go back in time and change what i did , but i ca n't do that . so the only thing i can do is promise you that i wo n't make that mistake again . i swear . belle : okay , um , in that case , there 's something i need to tell you about `` love is blind . `` tony : thank you . it was excellent . would you excuse me ? kate : of course . maggie : oh , dear . um , was there something wrong with the food ? marlena : nope , not at all . we just -- just were n't so hungry , i guess . maggie : okay . john : you have still managed to avoid answering my question . marlena : i did not know that tony and kate were having supper here . i chose tuscany because ... i like the food . john : which you barely touched . marlena : neither did you . john : your loss of appetite would n't have anything to do with seeing tony with kate , would it ? tony : well , i 've made all the arrangements . kate : i 'm not sure i 'm ready to go public with this . dinner was one thing , but -- [ tango music playing ] tony : you hav live dangerously . tony : you ready ?

cassie : it would be so cool if rex was on `` love is blind , `` too . i mean , think ofllll the publicity angles . you could even create a dating show for rex and i where we could be the hosts -- you know , brothers and sisters rating each other 's dates . gabriella : you have a real future in television , cassie . but first things first . i need to convince rex to do the show . and then i need to find two more salem u. hotties to compete against him . cassie : oh , well , i can help . i could be like your on - campus casting supervisor . that way , we can find hot new guys for you and me . belle : you 're right , shawn . i see you , and -- no , no . i do n't even have to see you . i just -- i think about you , and that 's why -- shawn - d : why you what ? belle : no , i can't . i signed a paper that said i would n't talk about what happened on the dates until the show actually aired . shawn - d : no , who cares about the paper ? what happened ? veelle : i did some things ... on purpose , to kind of ... turn off the hunk . shawn - d : why ? belle : because i started thinking about you , shawn . and it made me realize i do n't want to date him , even for a tv show . you e e the only guy that i want to be with . marlena : excuse me for a minute , please . roman : hey , doc . i , uh , i saw your car outside . marlena : maybe if you talked to her , hmm ? roman : i 'm , uh , i 'm through talking about it , thinking about it . the only reason i came here is because , uh , i got what you asked for . marlena : the bug sweeper ? roman : all right , all you do is you flip the switch , sweep it around the room , jacket , whatever . if it senses a bug , this little yellow light goes on . simple as that . marlena : thank you . roman , she meant it when she said she loves you . roman : i got to go .

[ clears throat ] [ sighs ] no one is gon na keep yelling at you . i just had a talk with my mom . and we laid out some ground rules . she 's not just gon na barge in here whenever she wants , not anymore . gabi : thank you . but i need to be honest with you about something . sonny and i -- we will lay off of nick . but i am worried about you rushing into something with him . i am scared of it . gabi : will , he 's not gon na hurt me . will : it 's not you that i 'm worried about . it 's ari . i took care of what you asked for ... so i hope that we 're even . and whatever it is that you 're up to , i hope it 's worth it . liam : oh , trust me . it will be . brady : look , i get it . you do n't want to talk to me because i 'm on the board . but i got clearance before i came over . our conversation -- it 's off the record , jenn . jennifer : that is not why i do n't want to talk to you about this . i know deep in my soul that daniel does not use or abuse drugs . and i know what theresa is capable of . so i 'm not gon na talk to someone who 's gon na take her side over daniel 's . brady : hold -- hold on . i 'm not -- jennifer : he saves lives , brady . he saved her life . and what did she do with that life ? she went after him . she went after my son . she went after me . oh , but i forgot . she 's pretty , so you 'd probably like a little roll in the hay with her . so let 's come up with an alternative theory of the crime , right ? brady : hey , listen , that is not what i meant . jennifer : i do n't care what you meant . this is not about the board . it is about her . and you came here because you want to level with me , when i know that anything i say , she could use to wiggle her way out of this situation and hurt daniel even more ? that is not going to happen . theresa : oh , no , no , no , no . see , if you knew what i was thinking , you would n't be flattered . daniel : hmm . well , i do have to hand it to you . you are smart . you said you 'd keep your distance from me . and yet , out of left field , you pull off this stunt . that -- that had to take a lot of planning . but you went too far . embezzling hospital funds , yeah , that 's one thing . but endangering the life of a patient ... [ clicks tongue ] theresa : ha . daniel : no , see , that is a serious crime . theresa : i think you 're crazy . daniel : do you ? possibly , if provoked . but you are crazy if you think that what you have on jj can protect you ... because you , sweetheart -- you are playing in the big leagues now . and when what you 've done is uncovered , it 's not gon na be up to jennifer or me to save your ass this time around . no , no , no ... because even if we wanted to , well , we really would n't be able to . you are going down , and no one ... can save you ... no one . well i drove grandpa to his speed dating this week , hope : i was right . the salem inn ballroom was never booked . aiden : oh , no room at the inn . we catholics know all about that . hope : this is n't funny . aiden : no , it 's not funny , nor is it tragic . look , there has to be some other venues . hope : i know , but st. luke 's has always had its gala there and always on the same weekend . this is gon na be a disaster . i can feel it . aiden : oh , glad to see that you 're not overreacting . hope : aiden , with the new school building , this gala is really important this year . one year , the same kind of thing happened . they had it someplace else , and they came close to losing money . aiden : hmm . what 's the number of the salem inn ? hope : why ? aiden : well , you 're telling me that we have to have that ballroom . so we are gon na get that ballroom . gabi : nick would never hurt arianna . he loves her . will : he loves you too . but what about his temper ? gabi : [ sighs ] will , look , nick and i are far from anything serious right now , all right ? i think you 're borrowing trouble . will : damn it , ga -- [ sighs ] [ breathes deeply ] i 'm sorry . it 's just ... we are talking about ari 's life . we 're not some kids in a dorm room discussing our love life . we 're parents . and it scares the hell out of me that you 've ... you almost moved out . and nick is moving back into your life , and we have no formal agreement . gabi : are you saying you want a custody agreement ? will : yeah ... i am . brady : you and daniel are my friends . i would never do anything to hurt you . jennifer : intentionally . but just the fact that you are hanging out with theresa shows ... brady : shows what ? jennifer : an incredible lack of judgment . i mean , what if you were to let something slip that could help her get away with this ? brady : do n't you know that i would never let that happen ? jennifer : normally , yes . brady : oh . but i 'm drinking now , right ? is that it ? jennifer : yes . theresa : i have n't done a bloody thing to you or anyone else . you 're barking up the wrong tree . i did n't drug you . and i know i did n't , so i also know that you and jennifer -- you do n't have anything on me . so i really wish that you would stop harassing me . daniel : do you ? right . okay , well , you just keep telling yourself that . but see , i do know you . and i know that you do n't always act alone . theresa : okay , sherlock ... just tell me what you think you know . hope : i ca n't believe you got the salem inn to give you the name of the person who booked the ballroom . aiden : yeah . hey , you know what i 'm thinking ? hope : what 's that ? aiden : that we put the dance floor here , and we will move the wall of silent- auction tables over there . hope : how feng shui of you . aiden : yes , yes . [ chuckles ] hope : maybe we should do -- what if we moved -- howell : mrs. brady ? aiden : ah , it 's detective brady . hope : mr. howell , thank you so much for meeting with us . howell : you two , uh , work for the church ? hope : no , we 're volunteers . both of our kids go to st. luke 's school . howell : public school not good enough for them ? aiden : uh ... [ clears throat ] mr. howell , uh , it seems that when the salem inn booked your event , there was some sort of mistake . see , st. luke 's gala is held there every year , same date . so what we want to talk to you about was maybe -- i do n't know -- um ... howell : oh , you were hoping i 'd switch the date so you could have the room that night . hope : yes . both : yes . hope : that 's it . the gala 's a 20-year tradition . and we 've always had it there . but somehow , this year , i do n't know how , but the booking fell through the cracks . howell : i know . why do you think i booked it when i had the chance ? i 've been after that space for years . aiden : okay . kate : it looks good . you can go ahead with the formula . nick : [ scoffs ] wow . you 're not even gon na say anything , are you ? kate : about what ? nick : about my -- my split lip , about what happened . kate : oh . well , i just assumed someone belted you . i 'm surprised it does n't happen more often . nick : it was rafe . but you probably knew that , did n't you ? kate : nope . nick : no ? what have you said to him ? did you talk to him ? kate : [ sighs ] nick , i do n't talk about you to anyone . i actually try not to think about you at all . but rafe does know you 're a horrible person . and he does love his sister , so i 'm sure he tries to keep you away from her . nick : this is n't funny . i 'm not forcing gabi to do anything , kate . this is her decision . kate : really ? nick : yeah . kate : and the fact that if she was n't interested in you , you could send her away for attempted murder -- that does weigh in on any of this ? nick : you know , she 's not the only one who 's at risk here , okay ? and if rafe keeps pushing , he might found out more than you want him to know . kate : i get that , nick . in fact , i just told rafe that he should leave this situation alone . nick : mm , good . let 's hope he listened ... because would n't it be ironic if he ended responsible for putting his sister , his ex - wife , and his ... ex - lover all behind bars ? will : i 'd just like a joint custody agreement . gabi : but why ? will : gabi , when you said you were going to move out , it hit me ... that if for whatever reason you did n't want me to see arianna , i 'd have to go to court . gabi : i would never keep you from seeing her . will : what if nick were in your life ? gabi : you think that i do whatever he tells me to do , right ? that i 'm spineless ? will : that 's not what i 'm saying . i 'm saying that i would feel safer if there was an agreement in place that guarantees some kind of parental rights if you should happen to leave . gabi : no . will : [ sighs ] you 're angry . gabi : no , no . i 'm not angry , all right ? i 'm surprised . i did n't see this -- i did n't see this coming . but i need to go out . i need to get some air . will : i 'll watch ari . gabi : i know . i trust you . i just wish it worked both ways . [ door closes ] jennifer : brady , i know how hard it has been for you . i know ... you are so hurt over losing madison and everything that happened with kristen . brady : [ sighs ] jennifer : but that is when you need to turn to the people who love you ... not drinking , not hanging out with theresa . brady : jennifer ... i know you love me . and i understand why you 're upset with me . but putting theresa aside , i really do want to help daniel . jennifer : and i am not questioning your intentions . it is your judgment and your self - control that i 'm worried about . and i ca n't risk trusting you , when you are drinking and dealing with theresa . brady : okay . all right . you do n't want me involved . i understand why . but i 'm gon na ask you for one small favor . theresa : okay , dr. jonas , i 'm waiting . but i think you know . daniel : i know what kind of person you are . theresa : you 've got nothing . [ cell phone ringing ] theresa : i got to go . daniel : no , fine , you go . go , yeah . i do n't think the police or , in your case , your family will have any problem tracking you down . theresa : [ scoffs ] just kick over my rock , right ? [ cell phone ringing ] daniel : hey . jennifer : hey . listen , i know that parker is with joanna . would you mind stopping by my house , please ? daniel : everything okay ? jennifer : yeah . i 'll fill you in when you get there . when jake and i first set out on our own , hope : what kind of event are you planning ? howell : a domino convention . yes , i 'm the president of the upper midwest domino society . my membership wants a calm and relaxing place to focus on the art of dominoes . hope : oh . aiden : uh ... hope : well , then you know what ? this is perfect . what about the horton square ? aiden : oh . hope : there 's a beautiful space they reserve for private parties . aiden : yes . hope : or even better , um ... we could talk to father louis about letting him use the new gymnasium . aiden : new gymnasium . hope : it has tons of room . aiden : oh , yeah . hope : it 's perfect . howell : then you use it . uh , uh ... [ sighs ] the service here stinks . hope : mr. howell , please ... the gala raises money for scholarships for the church . and being as kind as i know you are , do n't you want to help the kids ? howell : i do n't like kids . so why should i be the one to move ? what 's in it for me ? aiden : well , uh , let 's talk about that , shall we ? howell : typical lawyer . you think you can buy anyone . just what kind of a man do you think i am ? will : so what is it that 's so urgent ? rafe : well , i want to know why everyone 's giving me the runaround about nick . will : they are ? rafe : yeah , they are . so i 'll start . is nick threatening gabi ? is he blackmailing her ? will : what ? rafe : does he have something on her ? will : no . no , it has n't come to that . rafe : it has n't come to that ? so he does know something which he could potentially use against her ? will : rafe , for gabi 's sake , leave it alone . rafe : oh , my god . oh , my god , you too ? let me just be clear , okay ? gabi is my sister . so i am not going to leave it alone . now , if nick has done something illegal , i can put him away . will : damn it , rafe . will you listen to me ? for once , it was not nick that did something illegal . rafe : right . but someone else has . gabi : so i was talking to will , and he showed me the heart that you gave him and sonny . it was very sweet of you . nick : yeah . gabi : i thought for , like , a second that he was open to giving you a chance . nick : for a second , huh ? then it was back to `` nick is satan . `` gabi : well , he was n't talking about you . he 's trying to be fair . but then , like , in the same breath , he mentioned that ... he wanted a custody agreement for arianna . jennifer : oh . daniel : oh , man , am i glad to see you . jennifer : oh , bad day . daniel : ran into theresa . jennifer : horrible day . daniel : mm - hmm . jennifer : you did n't go off on her , did you ? daniel : uh , no , no . i kept my cool . but i did let her know that i think she 's behind my being drugged . jennifer : oh , how did she react ? daniel : uh , she kept it pretty close to the vest , but ... i think i did rattle her . jennifer : did she give you any indication or proof that she 's responsible for this ? daniel : no , no . but she sure seemed guilty , and ... i 'm worried ... really , really worried . theresa : hey . i was surprised to get your text . brady : have a seat . i got you an espresso . theresa : oh . well , bloody marys would 've been more fun . brady : yeah , that 's ... why i needed to talk to you . theresa : to not drink bloody marys ? brady : some things have to change with me , theresa ... with us ... starting right now . aiden : now , who shall i make this out to ? howell : i will not be bribed . aiden : no , no , this is -- this is not a bribe . it 's an incentive to do the right thing for the kids who will benefit from the money that we raise . hope : right . exactly . this one night funds the p.e . program , the arts . we already told you about the scholarships . howell : i 'm sure it 's all lovely , but i am not changing either the time or the place . and another thing -- you tried to bribe me . i should report you to the bar . and you assume you can intimidate me with your rank . are you gon na arrest me for not buckling under ? hope : excuse me ? howell : i should report you to your superiors . aiden : sir , we 're not doing anything illegal . howell : it 's unethical . and i will never give up this venue , so good luck finding your own . aiden : [ sighs ] hope : that went well ... aiden : yeah . [ door closes ] hope : really well . rafe : so you 're telling me that someone did something illegal , and nick could use it against them ? will : i am only saying that whoever told you to leave it alone was right . rafe : hmm . yeah . and leave gabi at nick fallon 's mercy ? will : [ sighs ] look , i just talked to her . and if nick was blackmailing her , i would know . he 's not . rafe : not yet . that is what you said before , right ? will : rafe , i do n't know what you could do that would make this better , but i do know that you can make this a lot worse . rafe : oh , really ? that 's funny . and that 's funny , because when i spoke to nick before , that 's what he implied . will : [ sighs ] was that before or after you beat him up ? rafe : oh , you heard ? will : yeah , and gabi was furious . and you know what ? this might come as a big surprise to you , but she 's even more sympathetic to his cause , all right ? she thinks that he 's the injured party , and maybe he is . but , rafe , i can not let this escalate any further ... because of ari . rafe : okay . i get it , i get it . you feel boxed in . but here 's the thing ... you ca n't appease someone like nick fallon . and if you try , it 's only gon na make things worse . okay ? nick : i guess it is a little bit weird that he started talking about a custody agreement right after he married sonny . gabi : yeah , i mean , i thought about that also , but , i mean , he 's nervous too . nick : nervous ? why ? about what ? gabi : you . nick : oh . well ... i guess that makes sense . i ca n't blame him for that , you know ? he sees that you and i are ... whatever . and i have tried to keep ari away from him before . so it makes sense . gabi : yeah , but you would -- you would never do that again . i mean , promise me you 'd never do that . nick : i promise . gabi : i want to believe you . nick : you can . daniel : oh , i 'd really like to find a way to just nail her . and there has to be a way to figure out how she pulled this off . jennifer : yeah , actually , that is why i called you . daniel : what , you have a lead ? jennifer : no , but i know someone who really wants to help you . theresa : i 'm not sure i like the sound of this . brady : i get that you 're nervous . um , you 're not gon na like what i have to say . theresa : and that would be ? brady : i 've agreed ... if it 's okay with daniel , to figure out who drugged him . theresa : [ scoffs ] daniel : and who is it ? jennifer : well , it 's someone who might be able to get to the bottom of this , if it is theresa . daniel : and who is it ? jennifer : uh , brady . daniel : oh . absolutely not . theresa : you think it 's me , do n't you ? brady : i did n't say that . theresa : [ scoffs ] brady : i pray that 's not true . but in order to help daniel , theresa -- theresa , i got to stop drinking . i do . and for obvious reasons , i have to stay away from you as well ... until i find out the truth , until i figure this thing out . theresa : [ scoffs ] damn it , brady . ca n't you see that they 're out to get me ? brady : i wonder why . theresa ... if you did n't have any part in this , you have nothing to worry about . the best - case scenario in this is that i clear daniel 's name and yours . theresa : and if i do n't do what you want ? brady : then we 're through . jennifer : listen , i was wary too , but then he made some promises . and i - i believe him . daniel : no , he 's an untreated alcoholic . promises do n't really mean much . jennifer : he is your friend , and he loves you . come on . that 's why i think you need to hear him out . will you do that much ? hope : so , okay , what do we do now ? what are we gon na do ? let 's look at this again . louis : oh , it looks like things are going splendidly . hope : uh , yeah , if splendid means we 've lost . aiden : uh , lost some of , uh , last year 's records from the silent auction . but i - i do n't think it 's gon na be all that important . louis : oh , you know , let me look into that for you . you two continue to concentrate on the big picture , right ? like i said . i knew you two would make a great team . hope : great team , yes . [ chuckles ] do you really think father louis is n't gon na notice the gala 's in my garage and not in the ballroom , huh ? aiden : oh , ye of little faith . hope : you just lied to a priest . what were you thinking ? aiden : i 'm thinking that this might be kind of fun . daniel : well , i got to say , brady , i 'm not so sure about all this . brady : i do n't blame you . it 's your call , man , but , um ... here 's the thing . you 've helped me through a lot of tough times , and i want to do the same thing for you . daniel : brady , you 're drinking and sleeping with the enemy . brady : not anymore . jennifer : what ? brady : well , i told theresa we 're through . and i 'm not gon na have a drop to drink until we find out what 's happening here . daniel : and you think you can do that ? brady : you 'd do it for me , man . i want to find out who 's messing with you , put 'em away , and find out the truth ... i mean , if you 'll let me . jennifer : [ chuckles ] daniel : okay , do n't look at me like that . [ both laugh ] brady : come on , man . daniel : all right , get in here , man . thank you . brady : you 're welcome . theresa : all right ... if i rat liam out ... it 's a lose - lose for me . oh , god . i really hope that psycho liam realizes that this is -- this is just getting really serious and he needs to back off ... for all of our sakes . nick : i would never ask you to keep ari away from will or do anything to make you unhappy . i never want to see you unhappy again . gabi : oh , nick . | rafe pumped kate about nick . kate warned rafe to leave nick alone . jennifer talked to brady about how theresa possibly drugged daniel . daniel confronted theresa about drugging him . rafe told kate that he was n't going to back off of nick . kate warned him again to wait and play it safe . rafe was still suspicious . gabi and will got in an argument over nick . rafe sent will a text to meet him . a woman gave liam a bag of pills . jennifer argued with brady about theresa . daniel told theresa that she was going down for what she did . while will and gabi were talking , he mentioned that he wanted a custody agreement . |

[ tense music ] evan : [ coughs ] kayla : can you believe that steve actually asked me if i slept with justin last night ? jennifer : are you kidding ? kayla : no , i mean , i told him it was none of his business , obviously . but still , he guessed the truth . but just for the record , i didn't . i mean , i 'm just so exhausted , you know , physically and emotionally . jennifer : yes , of course you were . kayla : but steve just -- to him , that was just confirmation that i wan na be with him and not justin . jennifer : do you ? kayla : i just do n't know . i do n't know , i just -- you know , after everything steve and i 've been through , i just finally put him in a nice , neat little box labeled : past great loves . and you know what a roller coaster we were on . jennifer : yeah . kayla : and then with justin , it 's just the box is marked : present and future , and i 'm just so happy . and i feel so safe and secure with him . i just wimped out on everybody . i told justin , when he asked me where we stood , that i had to get to the hospital , and then steve told me that he wanted to fight for me , and i could n't get out of the room fast enough . steve : well , i 'm happy to talk about kayla . she 's all i 've been thinking about . justin : sonny mentioned that you said you plan to fight for her . steve : i do . justin : she is definitely worth fighting for . steve : yeah . so doing the right thing , stepping aside is not your plan ? [ monitor beeping ] justin : maybe the right thing is what 's best for kayla , the right thing for her . steve : and that 's you ? that 's what you think ? justin : yes , that is what i think . steve : kayla and i have loved each other for decades . we have children together . justin : i know , steve . everyone knows kayla 's and your love story . so i 'm here to tell you kayla 's and mine . justin : kayla was lost after you disappeared . steve : man , i did n't disappear . justin : steve , please . this is my story . just let me tell it . [ monitor beeping ] kayla was lost . and the night that adrienne was killed , it was like ... i 'd stepped off a cliff , free fall . steve : and kayla was there . she 's always had a soft spot for anyone in need . justin : yeah . the funny thing is , it turns out , she needed me just as much as i needed her . she remembered how i like my coffee . so she would drop by my office in the morning . and i would bring her leftover lasagna , 'cause i always make too much . and one day , i was cleaning out my office drawer , and i came upon concert tickets for the summer series in the park . i was gon na drag adrienne to it . it was my -- one of my favorite jazz bands , even though she -- not a big fan . but anyway , i had an idea . steve : you invited kayla . justin : i surprised myself , and i asked her . she surprised both of us , because she said yes . steve : too bad she hates jazz . justin : not anymore . so we went on this date that was n't really a date ... shared a picnic , drank some wine , danced a little bit under the stars . we 'd gone to this thing alone together , but when we left , we were together ... even though neither one of us realized it at the time . and it was n't one of those big moments , you know , where the hero comes in and rescues the damsel in distress , but it was a rescue nonetheless . and that 's what our love is ... kayla 's and mine . a love made up of little rescues . that night and countless other times ... kayla and i have saved each other ... heartache and loneliness . and that 's what brought us together . kayla : you know , justin has saved me in a thousand ways this year . and just the way he looks at me and his kindness , i know that his love for me is real . and all this that 's going on , he has given me so much space . he 's so understanding . but steve , i mean , you know . you know our history , our family ... and you were right . his memory did come back when i started saying the vows . and he knew them , every single word , and i know that there is nothing he wants more than to have our life back . jennifer : right , kayla , you keep talking about how steve feels and how justin feels , but not one time have you said how you feel . [ solemn music ] rafe : oh , you 're kidding me , right , eli ? why would they drop the kidnapping charges ? oh , my god . well , you know , that 's all right , 'cause i found the son of a bitch on my couch . so i 'll just bring him in for breaking and entering . the isa said what ? [ sinister music ] john : it seems that after orpheus was shot , the isa whisked him away to a private location to recover . marlena : and let us believe that he was dead . why would they do that ? john : well , you 'd have to blame the head of the agency for that . marlena : pamela van damme . john : mm - hmm . she felt orpheus had critical information , was too valuable of an asset to let him go to his grave , so she protected him . and he parlayed that information into full immunity for all of his crimes against you , kayla , and everybody else . marlena : so he 's back . he 's back in salem , why ? [ daunting music ] ben : get up . evan : so you can hit me , huh ? choke me again ? ben : i said i would n't do anything stupid . please do n't make me change my mind . evan : you already did . what the hell was that all about ? ben : i was protecting my nephew . evan : i 'm david 's father . ben : you 're the man who murdered his mother , and there 's no way in hell i 'm letting you tell that little boy that you 're his father . evan : i am his father , and he has a right to know the truth . ben : he has a right to be raised in a happy , loving , stable home . so if you really love that little boy the way you say you do , you 'll leave him alone . evan : that 's not gon na happen . marlena : okay , so evan is orpheus ' son . that 's -- that 's why he came back to salem ? john : well , it would make sense , seeing that orpheus tried to kidnap his grandson . but he was caught , and he 's back in federal custody now . marlena : what if he makes a deal , and they let him out ? or what if he escapes ? do you think that he 'll come after me now ? john : no , no , no , no , no . that 's not gon na happen , sweetheart , you 're safe . you 're safe because i 'm here , and i 'm always gon na protect you . [ dramatic music ] kayla : i do n't know how i feel . i love them both . i mean is that -- is that a possibility ? i mean -- i mean i do n't even know what that means , really . when i 'm with steve , you know , it 's just this crazy , crazy love and all the history . but with justin , i just feel safe and happy and there 's no place i wan na be but in his arms . jennifer : okay , but when you , when you close your eyes and you see your future , who 's by your side ? who 's the man that you are choosing to move forward with ? kayla : i honestly do n't know . i have to say , honestly , i never thought in my whole life that i would have to choose between steve johnson and another man . but justin has made that choice very difficult . [ monitor beeping ] steve : i know what it 's like to fall in love with kayla . buddy , looks like you fell hard . and i do appreciate that someone was there to take care of her when she was in pain . but the reality is , i 'm back , and she is my wife . justin : ex - wife . steve : oh , come on , counselor . you know as well as i do that divorce document will never hold up in court , and it 's clear that i am in control of my body and mind now . justin : are you sure about that ? it 's -- stefano is long gone ? steve : the chip is out , thanks to my wife . marlena hypnotized me . she could n't find one trace of that son of a bitch . justin : you ca n't blame me for being protective , 'cause you hurt a hell of a lot people when you came back to town . steve : i know what i did . i know what i did to john and marlena . i still have to make that right with them , and i will . justin : forget about what you did to john and marlena ! how 'bout what you did to kayla ? steve : what 'd i do to kayla ? john : you know , i could stay like this with you all day long . marlena : mm - hmm . except you 're worried about steve . john : it really shows , huh ? marlena : mm - hmm . oh , honey . he 's your best friend . he 's getting his memory back . of course you wan na be there for him . john : yeah , but i do n't feel good about leaving you alone , not today . marlena : well , i 'll be fine if orpheus is behind bars . besides , i 'm having a lot of work sent over . so i can start catching up , and i 've got a lot of catching up to do . john : okay , then . i 'm gon na jump in the shower real quick . love you . marlena : love you . [ moans ] [ dramatic music ] great . orpheus is back ... and evan 's his son . evan : you have a hell of a nerve telling me to stay away from my kid like i 'm not good enough . ben : you 're not . evan : [ scoffs ] like you 're some kind of role model for anybody 's kid . you 're the damn necktie killer . ben : you 're right . i am no role model , but rafe is . he 's the only father that david knows , and i 'm gon na make sure to do everything in my power to keep it that way . rafe : turn around . it 's unbelievable . i do n't know how in the hell you pulled this off , but for some reason , the isa says you 're untouchable . orpheus : well , it pays to have friends in high places . rafe : mm . well , you wo n't for long , not if i have anything to say about it . orpheus : well , i just do n't understand why you 're getting so worked up . rafe : you broke into my house . orpheus : the door was open . rafe : the hell it was . orpheus : imagine my disappointment when the little rug rat was n't here . rafe : now would be a good time for you to leave . orpheus : i understand . yeah , folks tend to -- tend to like a heads up , put something on the calendar . so i 'm perfectly amenable to working out some visitation schedule that 's good for -- rafe : there 'll be no visitation . orpheus : you ca n't blame a man for wanting to spend quality time with his grandson . rafe : you 're not getting anywhere near david . ciara : rafe ? rafe : yeah . orpheus : looks like you 're mistaken about that , commissioner .

[ monitor beeping ] steve : no . justin : yes , and i was there for the exchange . you were ruthless , brutal . steve : but i let her go . justin : yeah , after you got what you wanted : marlena . and you took off , but you locked us in , john too . you booby - trapped the room . you nearly gassed us to death . steve : no . justin : kayla almost died . steve : no , no , there 's no way -- no way i could have done this . no matter how out of my mind i was , i would never try to kill kayla . never !

rick : not yet . it 's a purity ring . belle : purity ring . sandy : it means i decided not to have sex until i get married . belle : really . and , um , you 're okay with that ? rick : yeah , i think it 's cool . like , when we do get married , we 'll be each other 's one and only . belle : and what are you thinking right now ? shawn - d : hmm ? just , uh ... well , i 'm sick of everyone bringing that subject up around me . belle : it 's interesting -- abstinence . i mean , not having sex until you 're married . it almost does n't even seem like an option anymore . shawn - d : even if it is the 21st century . belle : what ? shawn - d : oh , no , it 's just something your dad brought up . belle : you were talking to my dad about sex ? john : of course ... roman . had to run to your ex . marlena : sad that i had to go to anybody else -- john : did n't have to . we 've been through this . i said i was sorry that i planted the bug on you , did n't i ? marlena : yes . you apologized . but i 'm not sure when it 's going to happen again . and i 'm not coorortable being married to a man who tracks my moves with an electronic device . john : i did it to protect you . marlena : you did it to control me . john : is that how you really feel ? marlena : you put a bugging device in my bag without my knowing it ? that says to me you do n't trust me . john : it 's not you , it 's tony ! marlena : oh , stop with tony ! it is n't about tony . it isn't . it 's about you and me and our vows to each other . john : our marriage -- come on , come on , our marriage is rock - solid . and those vows i took mean ever more to me today than they did on the day we were married . marnana : you 're saying all the right things . i do n't think you 're convinced . because of the fact that now you know tony and i are rex and cassie 's parents . john : you know , doc , you just kind of throw that out therlilike it 's no big deal . marlena : you know , we did n't want it . we did n't ask for it . it 's what happened . we 're making the best of it . john : yeah , but it sure as hell is changing our lives , is n't it ? marlena : yes . it has changed our lives . but no relationship worth its salt has no movement . good marriages change and adjust because of challenges , sometimes in spite of challenges . john : are you saying that we do n't have a good marriage ? marlena : i want you to stop being insecure . john : oh , so now i 'm insecure ? marlena : yes . you are . john : you 're not making any sense . marlena : it 's not your fault , but you are afraid that i will do to you what i did to roman . you 're afraid that i 'll cheat on you . would bring such a suspenseful the green jacket is going north of the border . the perfect size . dg shawn - d : it 's not like your dad and i sat around talking about sex . belle : please . god . shawn - d : i just went to the pub to have some breakfast , and your dad was there . belle : did he interrogate you ? shawn - d : no . not really . he just wanted to know how things were between you and me , but he had the wrong idea because of something you told him over the phone . belle : something i told him ? oh ... yeah , i remember that . shawn - d : oh , do you remember talking to him , telling him how we were thinking about ... having sex ? belle : no ! no , it was n't straight out like that . shawn - d : no ? belle : shawn , i talk to my parents . what 's wrong with that ? shawn - d : nothing . i would just think that at some point in your life , you 'd switch over to being a little more private about -- belle : you mean sharing things instead of with them . shawn - d : i guess , yeah . belle : shawn , they still think of me as their little girl . that 's changing , but ... okay , you know how long it took the glaciers to melt ? it 's kind of like that -- slow . what about your parents ? shawn - d : what about them ? belle : well , i mean , do they ever ask you if we 're having sex ? shawn - d : my dad and i have talked about it , but he 's more concerned with us just being safe . i mean , i think he assumes we 're having sex . belle : because you 're a guy . shawn - d : maybe . i do n't know . my mom freaked out about it a long time ago , but she never actually asked . belle : see , why is it such a big deal for girls , but when it comes to guys , they 're like , `` hey , way to go , man . `` shawn - d : i do n't think that . belle : you do n't ? not at all , not even a little bit ? shawn - d : no , but i love you . so that makes things a little different for me . belle : different , how ? shawn - d : well , before we were going out , when i was a sophomore in high school , i did n't exactly make all the right judgment calls . belle : okay ... shawn - d : but , you see , when i went on the road with the baseball team a couple weeks ago and the guys were partying and the girls were in there running around ... in their underwear , i did n't want to have anything to do with them . i stayed away . belle : really ? in their underarar . did they happen to have days of the week on them ? shawn - d : oh , you mean , like ... no . belle : so you were looking . shawn - d : well -- i was -- yes . i 'm alive . hello ? belle : were they pretty ? shawn - d : sure . okay ? but that does n't matter . you want to know why ? because you are the only girl i want to be with . [ knock on door ] rex : come in , professor . rolf : thank you , rex . rex : sure . sit down . would you like some tea or coffee ? i can call down to the kitchen . rolf : uh ... no , no , i - i really ca n't stay . i just wanted to see how you 're getting on with your studies . rex : you mean college ? i 'm almost through . rolf : through ? i do n't understand . rex : well , the department heads had a meeting and decided there 's not much they can teach me . i 'm too advanced . rolf : well , i could 've told them that . you have an extraordinary intelligence , rex . well , so does your sister , but , uh , it manifests itself differently . your talents are intellectual , and cassie 's are interpersonal . rex : maybe that 's why she 's been getting into so much trouble . she 's too interpersonal . rolf : oh , dear . what happened ? rex : uh , she got kicked out of the dorm for drinking . that 's why i moved back here , to keep an eye on her . rolf : so , you 're , uh , you 're a good brother , as well as a genius . i had no idea your i.q . was this high . although , i should n't be surprised . you and your sister are n't like most people . rex : cassie wants to be . she likes to fit in , you know ? she wants to be popular and famous -- things i do n't care about at all . rolf : well , you 're destined for a different kind of greatness , rex . your intellect , your , uh , your gift for science will lead you to do important things . you , uh , you working on a project now ? could i se marlena : i ... i still feel guilty about that . i will always feel guilty about that . so much time has passed , and that has n't changed what happened , and you are intimately aware that i ... betrayed my husband with another man . and that 's bound to make you insecure . john : well , i am sorry , dr . evans , but i do n't feel insecure . besides , i was n't just ... any other ma w was i ? john : of course you did . you 're an honorable woman , but you 're also human . marlena : is n't that what every cheating spouse says -- `` i was human `` ? it does n't excuse the betrayal , does it ? john : doc , i - i ca n't stop you from blaming yourself , but i wish you wouldn't . look , our ... our situation was different . it was ... it was different . marlena : all right . john : the thing is , i 'm just -- i 'm justotot happy that you brought roman into our thing with tony . marlena : are you embarrassed because knows what you did ? john : no , i 'm not embarrassed . it 's just none of his damn business . i mean , roman loves it when you and i are fighting . marlena : that 's not true . john : oh , come on , doc , any chance he gets to make me look bad in your eyes , he jumps on it . marlena : no , it 's not so . he was very understanding about this . john : i 'm sure he was so sorry that your husband put a tracking device on you that he just filled up with sympathy , so you decided to get back at me by running to your ex for that sympathy . marlena : it was n't about sympathy . john : come on , you ran to the guy because he 's ilill in love with you . marlena : why are you being so impossible about this ? roman is not in love with me . you 've seen him with kate . they 're crazy about each other . john : yeah , yeah , he and kate were hot and heavy at one time , but she 's miserable now because roman ca n't commit . three guesses why not ... marlena : it 's not because of me . john : it 's totally you . you basically ruined the guy for any other woman . kate : i thought you were so hot to talk , to get some answers . why do n't you give me one ? just exactly what is it you think i was trying to get you back for , huh ? roman : look , can we just pretend this never happened , all right ? it 's not like you meant it . kate : what ? roman : kate , come on , you thought i was in danger . it 's the only reason you said you loved me . just in case something happened , then those would be the last words i heard on earth . kate : oh , my god . well , that is a very poetic thought , but it 's absolute crap , okay ? when i tell a man i love him , it 's because it 's the truth , and i do n't know why you would think anything else . roman : because you 're kate roberts . you 're a worldly , sophisticated woman . you 're not some damn teenybopper with a crush ! all right ? so blurting out `` i love you `` on a police radio is n't exactly what you would do . it 's not a kate thing to do . kate : oh . i see . it was , um , impulsive , so you could n't trust it , is that it ? roman : there you go . you got it -- right there . so now can we forget about it ? kate : sure . roman : good . great . so , would you like to sit down now , maybe have a cocktail ? kate : but i 'm not talking on the police radio right now , am i ? roman : no , you 're not . kate : we 're in your home , the privacy of your home , so anything i say here you would have to take in good faith , right ? roman brady , i love you . what do you y y to that ? ean another chilly weather day . are you right ñ ñ q ñ w q q t x i q marlena : i 've ruined roman ? john : um ... marlena : you believe that ? john : i did n't mean it the way it sound -- doc , come on , you 've got to admit , it has taken roman years to get over you , and i 'm not convinced that he has even yet . marlena : you 're implying that i want to have some control over roman 's heart . we stay close because of the children -- of sami and eric . john : right . because you share children . marlena : yes , that 's right . john : just like you do with tony . marlena : no . no , no , tony and i have n't raised the twins together . john : yeah , but you 're making up for lost time now , are n't you ? marlena : we 're trying to do the right thing . john : a dimera trying to do the right thing ... stefano dimera is responsible for all the hell you and roman and i lived through , remember ? marlena : tony is n't stefano . john : that 's right . stefano 's dead , but tony 's not . he 's alive a w well , living in salem , free to ruin the rest of our lives . marlena : you ca n't paint them with the same brush . that 's not fair . tony never chose to be a dimera . john : boy , he is good . he 's actually got you believing he 's a victim . marlena : you know what ? sometimes , he is . like when you choose to hate him , not because of what he 's done to you or done to us , but because he 's a dimera . john : that 's right , doc . give the guy a pass . he 's just an innocent man , trying to live a quiet , respectable life in the fine city of salem , right ? marlena : is that so hard to believe ? john : yes , damn it , it is ! marlena : your anger is unjustified , and you know what ? in my opinion , tony 's got far more reason to hate you . rex : why are you so curious about my work ? r rolf : well , i 'm , uh , i 'm a scientist , as well as a professor , rex . my curiosity 's only natural . after all , you 're one of the finest -- well , if not the finest -- students i 've ever had . rex : so that 's it ? you 're interested because i 'm your student . rolf : look , uh , rex , i know that you 've moved far beyond me in your capacity for learning . i 'm just curious about your development . i believe you 're going to do great things in the field of science . rex : and what about your other gifted students ? do you visit them at home and ask to see their projects ? rolf : well , i - i have , on occasion . i mean , not as often as i should , but , uh , then i 've taken a special interest in you . rex : why ? rolf : that 's complicated . rex : you know , people use that expression when they 're trying to hide the truth . rolf : it 's very astute of you . rex : so you are hiding something . what is it ? does it have to do with my father ? you 're not really a professor at salem university , are you ? there 's some other connection . rolf : connection ? rex : yeah , with me , with my sister . i 've felt it for a long time . who are you , really ? rolf : i 'm the doctor who delivered you and cassie . shawn - d : so you 're not upset anymore ? belle : about the girls ? no . not thrilled ... shawn - d : i - i was n't , either . belle : so how many ? shawn - d : how many what ? belle : girls . shawn - d : well , i lost count after the first 10 ... i do n't know . i just wanted to go to sleep . belle : i like this whole not being jealous thing . it feels good . shawn - d : there 's nothing to be jealous of . belle : that 's why i like it . i feel comfortable and calm . is that how you feel right now ? shawn - d : calm ? no , no , not really . not when you 're doing this . kate : nothing ? [ sighs ] a declaration of love , and the man has nothing to say ? roman : kate , i have very , very strong feelings for you . i 'm just not real good at the talking thing . but if you come over here , i will show you exactly how i feel . kate : no . roman : do you know how hard that was tonight , seeing you with tony like that , watching him dance with you like that ? i never knew i could be that jealous . look , i want to be the only man who touches you like that , and i want to be the only man who kisses you like this . kate : if you want me so badly , why ca n't you say the words that i want to hear ? roman : 'cause i got my own way of saying things . rex : wait a minute . what did i miss here , professor ? how could you be the doctor that delivered me and cassie ? rolf : i performed ma t tasks for stefano dimera over the years , rex , but none that 's as dear to my heart as bringing you and your sister into being . rex : into being ? is n't that a little over the top , even for a doctor ? rolf : well , it , uh , it applies in this case . you know , rex , everyone hates me for what i did . but i look at you , at how brilliant you are , and i say , how could it have been wrong ? rex : how could what have been wrong ? what are you talking about , professor ? it sounds to me like you were a lot more involved than an ordinary obstetrician . rolf : i think i 've said too much . rex : i think you better finish what you started , or you 'll have to answer to my father . rolf : i merely did what your grandfather wanted me to do . sperm was collected , eggs were fertilized , and voil ! perfect twins . a boy and a girl such as the world had never known before . rex : so we were an experiment ? rolf : well , only technically speaking . stefano dreamed of human perfection . i made that dream come true . r : : by playing god ? rolf : no , no , no , not me , rex . that was stefano 's role . i was merely the facilitator . and along the way , i came to care for those two remarkable babies . makes me very happy to see how beautiful you 've turned out . rex : so the experiment was a success ? rolf : oh , my , yes , by anyone 's measure . i , uh , i only hope you do n't feel exploited , rex . i had your best interests at heart . kate : i 'm not -- i 'm not sure about this . roman : i am . kate : i do n't know , it 's just i do n't feel that things are right between us . roman : everything is right about us , kate . kate : we need to talk . roman : not now . kate : then when ? roman : not now . belle : i want it to stay like this forever . shawn - d : okay . belle : no , shawn , i 'm serious . hodo we make sure that we stay happy , and that we do n't fall into a pattern of fighting about the same things over and over again ? > hahawn - d ; : i do n't know . belle : well , i 'm pretty sure it 's me more than you , so i 'm gon na make sure that i stay a little more relaxed about everything . shawn - d : i 'm not so sure about that . rolf : rex , i ca n't take credit for conceiving the idea to create you and cassie . the glory goes to stefano for that . i just did as he asked . and that was always the way with us . i was the servant , he was the master . rex : yeah , the word `` servant `` does n't really apply to you , professor . after all , you creeded human life . i do n't think eliana 's done that lately . rolf : no , no , probably not . so , uh , you 're not angry with me , you 're not sentful ? rex : no . you were just carrying out my grandfather 's wishes . i mean , after everything i 've read or heard about him , stefano dimera was n't the kind of man people said no to . rolf : that 's very true , rex . look , i 'm just relieved that you understand . rex : oh , i do . i completely understand . but what i do n't get is why grandfather wanted you to . why was it so important to bring cassie and me into being ? rolf : oh . believe me , rex , trying to understand the workings of stefano 's mind was an exercise in futility . but look , let 's talk about you , about that extraordinary superior intelligence . have you made any progress yet ? have you come up wi a anything groundbreaking ? do you need my help ? i would be honored to work with you , rex . rex : well , i do n't need any help right now , but i will remember your offer . rolf : ca n't you even share with me what your project is ? rex : later . when i 've had my first success , i 'll let you know . rolf : well , i 'll look forward to it . rex : uh , professor ... rolf : hmm ? rex : there 's something i 've been looking forward to for a while now . rolf : oh , really ? what 's that , rex ? rex : i 'm dying to see what your real hair looks like . rolf : my -- my real hair ? rex : come on , take off the wig , professor . rolf : i - i do n't know what you 're talking about . rex -- rex : bald . that 's what i figured . you know , you look a lot better without the rug . now , if you 'd just drop the accent ... it 's really cheesy , professor . what do you really sound like ? rolf : [ regular voice ] well , well , well . you are certainly one smart cookie . rex : german . of course . it 's nice to finally meet the real professor putnam . rolf : i can see there is no fooling you , rex . rex : that 's right . rolf : huh . before i go , let me give you the number of the motel where i am staying just outside town . 's 's the roadside motel . i 'm listed under my mother 's maiden name -- blitz . rex : got it . rolf : well , i will be in contact soon . rex : okay . rolf : ah , rex . rex , i am so proud of you . i am as proud as if i were your own father . rex : weird . rex : you think you 're proud of me now , just wait until my project is completed . then i 'll be the one making history . kate : [ laughs ] roman : oh , god . [ both moaning ] roman : come on ... kate : [ giggles ] roman : ah ... kate ... kate , i do n't want to hurt you . kate : oh ... the only way you can hurt me is if you stop . kate : [ chuckles ] mmm ... i never knew the shoulder could be such an erogenous zone . roman : uh - huh . kate : well , there 's no problems in the bedroom , that 's for sure . that 's rare , you know . i mean , for me . i do n't think i have ever been so deeply , utterly satisfied . i think i make you happy , too . roman : [ kisses shoulder ] kate : that 's what worries me a little bit . i mean , i know i 'm good with my body , but ... you do n't know the reason why , do you ? do n't -- do n't say anything , okay ? i just want to -- i want to talk while i have the courage . it 's about -- it 's about my secret past that you 're always so curious -- curious about . roman ... i guess i 've been ashamed to say anything . and i do n't know why i 'm going to say anything now , but i ... i just want you to ... to really know me , because if you 're going to ... if you 're going to love me , then you need to know all of who i really am . kate : when i was , um ... much younger , and , um , very desperate to survive ... i took -- i took money in exchange for sex . i sold my services to men . and that 's what , um , worries me now . because when you were first in pursuit of me i was so afraid that you just wanted me -- wanted me to go to bed with you . i mean , not that i do n't mind jumping into bed with you . it 's great , but ... i wanted you to want me for me . kate : and now who knows ? after hearing all this , you might not want me at all , right ? roman ... do you still -- do you still feel -- roman ? roman ? belle : wow . you think i ca n't change . shawn - d : i do n't mean that in a bad way . i just know that you 're the type of person who worries ... a lot . belle : so ? i can go crazy sometimes , too . shawn - d : oh , you ? cra -- oh , yeah . crazy ? belle : yeah , you know , me and meems , girls ' night out . you know how it is . oh , whatever , shawn . i am not sensible all the time . i can go wild . fine , i 'll show you . shawn - d : no -- belle : oh , my god ! oh , my god ! i am -- i 'm so sorry . seriously , i 'm sorry . wait . wait ! guys ! shawn , is this wild enough for you ? shawn - d : yeah . yeah , bring it on . saddam struck fear into their hearts . yet it was coalition troops that took their loved ones away . the thousands of iraqis still awaiting freedom . on tonight 's `` global national `` with kevin newman . shawn - d : hey ! oh , my god ! belle : that 's gross ! shawn - d : you started it . belle : it was an accident ! i did n't mean to . shawn , this is a new dress . what if i get a stain on it ? or -- it 's okay . it 's just a dress . i 'll just change my style and start wearing jeans with holes in them . shawn - d : you know what ? i do n't want you to change a thing . belle : oh , shawn , but you deserve a girl who can go crazy every -- whoa ! shawn - d : whoa ! there goes the dress ! belle : that 's okay . i 'll just take it off . shawn - d : oh , no , no . no , you don't . belle : gotcha . shawn - d : yeah , you did . belle : come on , shawn , i never go that crazy . oh , let 's get them ! shawn - d : what ? no , come here . come here . john : i ca n't believe tony 's doing this to us . marlena : he 's not . you are . john : no , he 's doing something , all right . you 're being manipulated . you 've got a soft spot in your heart for those kids -- marlena : gosh golly , i do . john : of course you do . you 're a wonderful mother . and i 'm not saying that you should n't go out of your way for them . i 'm just saying that tony 's playing you , damn it . there 's no doubt in my mind about that . marlena : you do n't have any proof of that . john : well , i know of divorced couples who have raised their children without so much as even speaking to one another . that 's why i do n't understand why you and tony have to be so all - fired close . marlena : we are not so close . john : i saw the way you were looking at him tonight . marlena : what ? john : at tuscan when he was dancing with kate , you could n't keep your eyes off him . marlena : do you think that i 'm jealous ? john : were you ? marlena : uh ... i have no interest in dancing with tony .

[ cell phone ringing ] giselle : hello , maria ? is everything okay at the house ? but i do n't know any mrs. danvers . excuse me . hope : should be easy . aiden : yep , all we got to do is find her a date . hope : and make sure he 's not a crashing bore . aiden : yes , yes , yes . now her husband dumped her for someone who 's young and sexy . we just got to find her a guy that 's gon na drive the husband crazy . hope : know of anyone ? aiden : i do n't have a date that night . paige : jj , what happened ? jj : it 's this thing that 's been going on . it 's the reason why i was late earlier . paige : what thing ? jj : it 's daniel . paige : dr. jonas ? is he okay ? jj : yeah , it 's just that someone set him up . paige : how ? jj : they fixed it so he went into surgery high . paige : who would do something like that ? jj : well , i 'm pretty sure that it 's this girl that works at the hospital . she came on to daniel , and daniel told her to get lost . so i think that she put some prescription pills in his coffee or something . paige : that 's horrible . jj : yeah , you do n't know the half of it . paige : he 's a wonderful doctor and a really nice man . jj : the text that i just got , it was from my mom . there 's a hearing tomorrow about daniel 's suspension . it 's all on daniel . he has to prove that he 's not a drug addict . paige : why would that woman do something like that to him ? how does she even know him ? jj : well , that 's the thing . it 's pretty much my fault . nick : i got to take off . you feel better about rafe and me , though , right ? good . and do n't worry about will talking about a custody agreement either . it could be a good thing for you too . gabi : you have this way of keeping me from freaking out . nick : yeah ? gabi : yeah . nick : i 'm glad . gabi : maybe i should talk to a lawyer . i mean , justin did my contract , and he 's really nice . nick : yeah , yeah , totally , but , i mean , he 's also sonny 's dad . you know , i mean , not that he 'd do anything unethical . just he might not want to get involved . gabi : i mean , i do n't know any other lawyers , so ... nick : let me think about it . okay ? the only thing that you have to remember is everything 's gon na work out . rafe : sami ? sami : hey , rafe . rafe : well , well , well . sami : what 's wrong ? rafe : how do you know something 's wrong ? sami : i do n't . i mean , i just was reading you , obviously . is something wrong with jordan ? rafe : no . no , she 's fine . but i did just have the pleasure of running into gabi making out with nick . sami : oh , god . rafe : yeah . yeah . she 's blind when it comes to that creep . sami : i bet you wanted to hit him . rafe : i already did that , so i actually tried to stay calm this time . sami : wait , wait , you punched nick ? rafe : mm - hmm . sami : i would have paid money to see that . how am i just hearing about this now ? rafe : well , you would have known all about it if you come when i asked to see you . but you did n't . no , you sent your fiancé to handle me . [ cell phone rings ] ej : what 's up ? you can tell him i will definitely be at the meeting . yes . all right . aiden : i 'm sorry , are you sure that there 's nothing i can do to convince you to come to the gala ? giselle : i have n't been a wallflower since i was in boarding school , and i 'm not going to be one now . aiden : if it 's just a question of not having an escort , you know , that is -- that 's easy . giselle : what exactly are you suggesting , young man ? aiden : well , i will be attending the gala myself alone , not too happy about that . and i was just thinking that two fascinating , attractive people not having a partner for the evening , it 'd be a shame if we did n't come up with a creative way to solve the problem . and at the same time sticking it to mr. van hopper . giselle : i believe i can think of an even better way of sticking it to harry . jj : this girl i think did this to daniel , she used to work for my mom . and she and i bonded for a while because we -- we both did drugs . and she and i , we both wanted my mom and daniel to split up . paige : you wanted that ? why ? jj : after my dad died , i could n't stand the idea of my mom being with someone new . so i just did horrible things to daniel . you know , things that he totally did not deserve . and this girl , she hated my mom for reasons that i do n't even get . but she wanted them to break up too just to make my mom miserable . paige : wow . jj : yeah , i know , right ? so anyway ... me and this girl , we were getting high together , and she od 'd . and i freaked out . and i called daniel . and daniel showed up at her apartment , and he saved her life . and after everything that i did to the guy , he covered for me . and he kept me from going to jail . paige : so he 's like a hero . jj : so she made her play for him , and he turned it down . and now i 'm sure that she is doing this just to get back at him . and now he could lose his license . and it 's all because of me . nick : thanks for meeting me . abigail : yeah , of course . nick , what happened to your lip ? nick : oh , it 's no big deal . you would n't believe this . i got up in the middle of the night to get , you know , like , a drink of water or something , boom , ran right into a door . i 'm such a klutz . abigail : hmm , well , maybe next time you will use a nightlight . nick : oh , believe me , i 'll be more careful next time . abigail : hmm . so what did you want to talk to me about ? nick : i need a lawyer . abigail : what do you mean ? what kind of lawyer ? nick : a really good one . gabi : hey , is she asleep ? will : shh . i took her out for a little while . [ door shuts ] gabi : thank you . i needed to go out and clear my head . will : you do n't have to thank me . i 'm her dad . i 'm also the reason that you 're upset . dropping that whole custody thing on you the way that i did , i blew it . gabi : yeah , you did . sami : rafe , i did not send ej to handle you , okay ? i would never do that . he wanted to come . rafe : why ? sami : because -- because i had gotten into it with gabi earlier , said some things i should n't have said , and you know how i can get . we agreed that he did n't want me to shoot my mouth off anymore and upset you . rafe : right . is that really it ? or is it that ej did n't want you to clue me in on something that i should n't know about ? sami ? i know that something is going on . sami : yeah , something is going on . nick is pursuing gabi again , and it 's upsetting . rafe : yeah , well , it 's more to it than that , is n't it ? sami : it 's upsetting for all of us . rafe : he as much as admitted it to me . sami : will ? rafe : will , yeah . sami : well , i do n't know . i really do n't know what you 're talking about . rafe : you know , it 's just funny that nick has you and will dancing to his tune . and that 's what ej did n't want you to clue me in on , is n't it ? but you 're not just protecting yourself . you 're protecting my sister too , are n't you ? paige : this whole thing , it must be really hard for you . jj : yeah , it 's just not about me . it 's about what daniel is going through . it 's just -- it 's not fair . this should n't be happening . paige : you know what i think ? that you blame yourself too much . i 'll bet dr. jonas is n't mad at you at all . i bet he 's proud of you for getting it together . face it , deveraux . you 're a good guy . hope : giselle 's into women ? aiden : all i know is she turned me down flat . but when she looked at you , her face looked like my son 's face when he 's staring down an ice cream sundae with a cherry on top . hope : no wonder she thought harry was a bore . but , hey , i ca n't go to the gala with her . i 'm working it . aiden : she 's not gon na go without a date . look , i 'd set her up with my aunt ivy , but she got married last year . hope : if she wants something that 's gon na drive her ex crazy , it 's not me . this whole town knows i 'm not gay . aiden : so i guess we finance the next year at st. luke 's with the proceeds from your aunt maggie 's lemon bars . you can do it . roman : hey - hey . counselor . aiden : ah , mr. brady . roman : how you doing ? aiden : i 'm doing all right . roman : i need to talk to you about an evidence request . your office told me i could find you hanging out here . aiden : oh , i 'm not hanging out . in fact i 'm working with your sister - in - law , the st. luke 's gala . roman : here ? aiden : yup . roman : okay . how 's it going ? aiden : well , i 'll let you know in a minute . hope : aiden told me you may come to the gala after all . i was so happy to hear that . giselle : i also told him i have no intention of going to the gala alone . hope : right . well , my husband 's out of town . i do n't have a date either . maybe we could go -- giselle : oh , darling , i 'm not going to the gala with you . hope : oh , you are n't ? but aiden -- giselle : i was hoping you might arrange for me to go with someone you know . hope : sure . of course . who is it ? giselle : him . gabi : will , you have to admit , your timing did suck . your mom had just finished telling me that i was unfit to raise my daughter , and then you start talking about legal custody . will : i know . gabi : well , it was probably the best thing you did . will : really ? gabi : yeah . we should just iron this out now , and your mom will have to back off . will : so this walk you took really did clear your head . gabi : well , it did more than that . i talked to somebody that helped me realize that i was making too much out of what you said . will : great . was it rafe ? gabi : no , it was nick . abigail : why do you need a lawyer ? nick : do n't worry . it 's not for me . abigail : good , but why do you think that i have a long list of lawyers ? nick : i was thinking about that lawyer who helped with jj . abigail : yeah . nick : yeah ? abigail : yeah , he was great . his name was aiden -- aiden something . but he 's great . nick : yeah ? could you find out his last name for me ? abigail : if this lawyer is n't for you , nick , is this for gabi ? nick : i was kind of hoping to get the name without getting a lecture . abigail : lecture about what ? nick : about me avoiding gabi . abigail : no lecture . nick : okay . abigail : though i would like to be reassured . nick : about what ? abigail : do you know what you 're doing ? nick : yeah . i know exactly what i 'm doing . sami : look , i know that you are worried about gabi , and , i promise you , i 'm not gon na just stand on the sidelines and do nothing if i see her getting herself into a bad situation . rafe : getting into ? we 're way past that , okay . i just apologized to that jackass . sami : okay . okay , well , you did the right thing . this could be worse than it is right now , okay ? just remember that . rafe : worse how ? sami ! sami : the best thing you can do is leave it alone , rafe . just -- i mean it . aiden : so how 'd it go ? hope : so good you 're here . roman : yeah . hope : it 's really good you 're here . roman : i 'll bet . hope : yeah . roman : i gave you an excuse to get away from giselle , right ? hope : what do you mean ? roman : well , that woman 's your basic nightmare . harry van hopper could n't take it anymore , and now she 's trolling for her next victim . hope : how do you know that ? roman : well , because i get a very uncomfortable feeling she 's zeroing in on me . aiden : you ? roman : yes . a woman like that does not join my parks clean - up committee 'cause she wants to pick up garbage . hope : really ? roman : i avoid her like the plague . hope : oh . oh , really ? roman : yes . hope : hmm . roman : okay . listen , i got to run . good luck with the gala . hope : bye . aiden : boy , has he got that wrong . what time is she picking you up ? hope : she is n't . and roman is n't wrong . the only reason she wanted to talk to me was because she thinks i can help her get to him . aiden : oh , fine , then we got to make that happen . hope : aiden , no , no , no . i 've known roman most of my life , and i love him dearly , but honestly he 's as stubborn as a mule . aiden : yeah , look , if he knows that it 's for a good cause -- hope : aiden . he 's my brother - in - law . you heard him . he wants nothing to do with her . nothing . aiden : great . it just keeps on getting worse . jj : you think i 'm a good guy . whoa . [ cell phone rings ] paige : oh , my turn . oh , i 'm supposed to be home . i have to go . jj : you 've got to go right now ? paige : yeah . i really hope everything 's okay with dr. jonas . jj : yeah . paige : i 'll see you at school . jj : yeah , i 'll be there . paige : bye . will : nick got you to see that a custody agreement was a good idea ? gabi : yeah . now are n't you sorry that you said all those horrible things about him ? he totally understood what you were worried about , even after i told him why you brought it up . he did n't get angry and try to turn me against you . he actually helped me feel better about it . he 's not the guy that you , sonny , your mom , and kate say he is . will : we 're not saying those things for no reason . nick knows that he can put you and mom and grandma and probably me away in prison any time he wants to . gabi : that 's not what he wants , will . [ arianna wails ] gabi : she probably lost her pacifier . will : so what does he want ? abigail : uh , the way you said that you know exactly what you 're doing , it was a little scary . nick : scary ? no , i was n't -- i was n't trying to be scary . i just -- i 'm trying to express to you how much this means to me . you know , i never stopped loving gabi , and whether we end up together is totally up to her . i said that before , and i meant it . abigail : yeah , okay . uh - huh . nick : so how about you ? abigail : what do you mean ? what about me ? well , i mean , it 's been a while since things went south with chad , and you 're a smart , beautiful girl . how long are you gon na sit on the sideline ? abigail : i 'm in no hurry . you know , sometimes i think that the sidelines are the perfect place to be . sami : mwah . ej : mwah . sami : [ whimpers ] ej : what 's wrong ? sami : i ran into rafe on the way home . ej : ahh . sami : and he 's upset about gabi and nick , of course . ej : mm - hmm . sami : and he 's figured out that will and i are doing whatever nick wants and that we are protecting gabi . ej : so what did you say ? sami : i think i did a good job of convincing him that , if he gets involved , he 'll just make it worse . mwah . hey , what 's that ? ej : oh , i do n't know . i had n't noticed it . sami : it might be about the wedding . let 's find out . huh . | rafe caught gabi and nick kissing . sami asked abby about nick . will went to ej to talk about sami . will also talked to ej about the custody agreement he wants with gabi . ej agreed to help him with it . rafe apologized to nick for the fight they had . nick was suspicious of rafe 's apology , but accepted it . abby did n't want to talk about nick with sami . someone put the pictures of ej and abby in an envelope . rafe wanted nick to treat gabi right . nick agreed to do it . someone slipped the envelope with ej and abby 's pictures under the door at the mansion . |

[ intense music ] ( announcer ) do you push through migraine ? rafe : hope was n't thrilled about me wanting to keep the baby . lani : yeah , i can understand that . it 's a lot . rafe : yeah . it is . but she knows how i feel about him and ... well , i would think she would at least try to -- lani : try to what ? i mean , rafe , you ca n't want something by just trying to . especially when it comes to something as important as a baby . you either feel it or you don't . and hope already has three children , right ? rafe : yeah . she lost one . tragically . lani : i know . she was really kind when i lost my little boy . because she knows . she knows how -- how hard it is . so maybe going through all that suffering and raising three of her own kids and a grandchild ... maybe the thought of starting all over is just ... is too hard for her . rafe : yeah , no , you 're absolutely right . and it makes perfect sense , i mean , she -- [ laughs ] . she does not wan na be raising kids . she 's already -- she 's got adult kids with problems of their own , and ... i do n't know . maybe i should be more understanding of that . lani : except you feel the need to care for little david . and if you turn him over to child services -- rafe : no . no . i 'm not doing that . lani : you 're in a really difficult position . rafe : yeah . yeah , considering the way hope feels about it , it 's ... only gon na get more difficult . lani : i 'm sorry , rafe . i 'm -- i 'm the one who pushed you into this . rafe : no , you didn -- no . you did not push me into it , all right ? stop . i care about david . i feel responsible for him . lani : yeah , but if it 's causing you so many problems -- rafe : we 'll work it out . it could be years before jordan 's well enough to look after david , and i am not letting him get lost in the system . even if i were willing to give him up , i would always resent hope for that . i 'd always feel like she forced him out . lani : i know , but rafe , she 's your wife , and i pressured you into doing this . rafe : no , you did not , no , you did not pressure me into doing this , okay ? it is not your fault . if it 's anyone 's fault , it 's ted laurent 's . ted : did you and rafe have an argument ? hope : ha . that 's an understatement . ted : what was it about ? hope : well , uh , you , for one thing . i told rafe the truth about you kissing me , telling me that you were in love with me . ted : well , i suppose that would do it . hope : yeah . i suggest you steer clear of rafe for the next decade or so . ted : i hope he did n't blame you . hope : for the way you feel , no . for letting you kiss me -- 100 % . ted : so he just walked out on you just for that ? hope : well , that and ... there 's more . there 's more . rafe is determined to take care of jordan 's baby , no matter how long it takes for her to recover . ted : hmph . if she ever recovers . hope : i told him we 're just not in a good place ... to raise an infant , not right now . ted : but again , your feelings did n't matter to him . hope : neither one of us would back down , ted . so he moved back into his family home with the baby . ted : i 'm sorry , hope . hope : are you ? ted : yeah . i do n't want you to be upset . and i do n't want you to be hurt . to be honest ... i 'm glad . 'cause now maybe we 'll finally be able to be together . gabi : you came here for stefan . why ? hector : he killed my brother . and for that , he must die . gabi : your brother , he 's the one that attacked chloe at her club ? hector : he came here to avenge el fideo . stefan sent him home in a body bag . gabi : your brother , he tried to slit chloe 's throat . stefan had no choice -- hector : it was not his business to get in our way . my brother is dead and now stefan must pay , so where is he ? gabi : stefan no esta aqui . [ speaking spanish ] hector : lo siento mucho . i 'm not leaving until i have my revenge . sit ! ciara : so what are you gon na do ? hector : we are going to settle in , chicas , and wait for our amigo stefan . and when i 'm done with him , we 're going to have ourselves a party . ramon : drop your gun , cop ! do it now ! eli : all right . all right , all right , all right . just take it easy , all right ? just stay calm . ramon : now walk away from it . eli : you do n't wan na do this , all right ? ramon : are you sure about that ? eli : hurting chloe is not gon na bring your boss back . ramon : no . but taking out the woman who murdered el fideo -- that 's gon na earn me major respect from all the right people ! [ chloe whimpers ] everyone -- everyone 's gon na know who i am . eli : you 've already done that , huh ? ramon cortez , right ? i 've seen your file . ramon : i 'm flattered . but after killing this little songbird , everyone in my country 's gon na know who i am . chloe : please , do n't do this . i have two young children . ramon : yeah , you should have thought about that before you stabbed el fideo in the back . chloe : i 'm sorry ! i did n't want to ! ramon : it 's too late , too late for that . do n't worry . your death is gon na make me a living legend . not many things have the power that food has . eric : you 're right . my mom and i were talking about you and ... i asked her to keep a secret . sarah : about what ? what is it that you do n't want me to know ? eric : sarah , i -- [ door opens ] rex : oh , hi . i 'm glad you 're both here . sarah : you 're back ! rex : yeah . hi . sarah : hi . eric : hey , how was will 's surgery ? rex : uh , he actually had a seizure right before we took him to the o.r . sarah : is he okay ? rex : yeah , we stabilized him . we were still able to get him in for the biopsy . eric : well , how did the seizure happen ? rex : well , it 's not an uncommon symptom of a brain tumor -- there 's just a lotta pressure on the skull . sarah : how 'd the procedure go ? rex : we were n't able to remove a sizeable portion of the tumor , but we got a small sample , and it 's in the lab right now -- we 're testing it . eric : so are we allowed to visit him ? rex : not -- not quite yet . sonny 's with him right now , and he 's resting comfortably . eric : thank you for the update . rex : yeah . i just wanted to tell you in person . eric : appreciate it . sarah : yeah , thank you . rex : so , uh , i know your shift starts pretty soon at the hospital -- you want a ride ? sarah : actually , there 's a few things that i wan na finish up here first . ted : hope . i know you 're an honorable woman and that you would never break your marriage vows . but if your marriage is coming to an end -- hope : i never said anything about my marriage ending . ted : but rafe has moved out . hope : so what ? that does n't mean i 'm ready to give up . ted : what rafe has done -- he left you to go to europe to see his ex , and when he comes back , he hears that another man is in love with his wife , and what does he do ? he walks away . hope : it 's not like that . ted : it just confirms what i already knew about rafe . he may not love you anymore . but i know i do . lani : so ted wants hope to leave you and be with him . rafe : oh , yeah . he 's wanted it for a long time . lani : and she told you that . rafe : she did . lani : why would she tell you something like that ? rafe : why would n't she tell me ? lani : i mean , she had to know that it would hurt you , rafe . rafe : she also knew i could see it as a warning -- if i did n't shape up , i might lose her . lani : to ted laurent . rafe , that makes no sense . rafe : no , it sure as hell does n't make any sense to me . i ca n't believe she gives that creep the time of day , much less trusts him . she 's a smart woman . she 's not stupid . i mean ... [ sighs ] how the hell would she go off with a guy like ted laurent ? lani : so you really think she 's falling for him ? rafe : i do n't know . i mean , obviously something is going on , the extent of which -- you 'd have to ask her . lani : wait . [ small laugh ] are you saying that she threw you out the house so she could be with ted ? rafe : no , she did n't throw me out . i left . voluntarily . lani : because she gave you an ultimatum . rafe : yeah . because she does n't want david to be part of our lives . [ sighs ] it 's so much more than that . she -- she feels like i am not making her my priority , and she 's right . i have n't been of late . i went to see sami to help her out with johnny . now , i -- now i 'm helping jordan taking care of david , and ciara 's ... she 's been going through a lot lately . i have n't been there for her and ... hope feels betrayed and i get it . it 's on me . lani : but you felt an obligation to be there for sami 's son . rafe : yeah . yeah , i did . he was my stepson and we were close and he was going through a really hard time and i wanted to help him . i mean , i think i did . lani : i 'm sure on some level that ... hope understands . and rafe , i know that she loves you . rafe : yeah . [ light laugh ] i do n't doubt that , it 's just ... she 's sending me a lot of mixed signals . lani : yeah , that -- that 's because ted is a snake . men like him , they just -- they wait around for someone to be vulnerable , and they strike . he 's taking advantage of the fact that you guys are having problems . rafe : my god , exactly . you see it , i see . why does n't hope see it ? lani : 'cause she 's confused and she 's hurt . but eventually , she will come to her senses . rafe : well , even if that 's the case , there 's still the issue of david . lani : she has to understand why you wan na take care of him . rafe : right , well , she may understand , but that does n't necessarily mean that she 's gon na get on board . and she 's not wrong when she says it 's a really bad time to be bringing a child into our marriage . lani : so what are you gon na do ? rafe : i do n't know . i 'm certainly not giving up on my marriage . lani : are you saying that you 're going to turn david into child protective services ? chloe : i know that you think that killing me will make your life better , but i promise you that it wo n't when stefan dimera finds out . i 'm important to him . he will do whatever he can to find you ! ramon : i 'm not afraid of him . chloe : well , you should be . he killed the last guy who came after me . ramon : all the other members of the cartel are all afraid of stefano dimera 's son . cowards ! but if you ask me , the dimeras are n't as powerful as they used to be . eli : what about the cops ? you afraid of us ? because the salem p.d . is already looking for you . you 'll never make it out of town without being arrested or shot . you stop this now and you turn yourself in , it 'll help your case . all you have to do is let chloe go . hector : i could get used to living like this . gabi : ciara , you create a distraction , i 'll get my phone and send a text to rafe . ciara : [ whispers ] okay . hi . ' scuse me , um ... what was your name again ? hector : hector . ciara : hector . hi . i 'm ciara brady . hector : i know who you are . ciara : you do ? hector : we looked you up after we thought you were chloe that night . you 're dating the security chief ... the serial killer . ciara : mm . right . well , if you know that ben is my boyfriend , then you must also know that my mom is the police commissioner . hector : so ? ciara : so ... unless you want the entire salem p.d . after you , i suggest you let me and gabi go . her brother 's also a detective , by the way . hector : good for her . ciara : yeah . hector : yeah . but no one 's leaving . not until stefan gets back . ciara : okay , so then you will let us go ? hector : we 'll see . i might need a hostage to get out of here safely . ciara : then you might as well let gabi go . i mean , you only need one of us . two just makes things a little bit more complicated , do n't you think ? hector : you 'd really sacrifice yourself -- what the hell are you doing ? gabi : no , no , no , give it to me -- [ phone clatters ] hector : you 're both gon na regret that . [ dramatic music ] - just like any other family hope : just ... stop . rafe does love me . a - and i love him . and i owe it to my marriage to fight for it . ted : hope ... i know you 're not a quitter . but you deserve so much more . [ soft music ] hope : this is really all about me being happy ... not about you getting what you want ? ted : i made my feelings very clear . and unlike rafe , i 'm willing to fight for the woman that i love . and for what it 's worth , i would never choose someone else 's child over you . rafe : i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . i know that hope and i need to talk about it more . maybe if she spends some more time with david , she 'll be more open to the idea of helping to raise him . lani : i know you 've always wanted to have kids . rafe : yeah . i always thought i 'd have a big family . lani : rafe , it 's not too late . rafe : you know , when i was with sami and i was helping her raise her kids , it was ... it was amazing . it was probably one of the most rewarding things i 've ever done . lani : i 'm sure you were the most amazing dad to them . rafe : [ laughs ] i tried . i did . and that 's what i want for david . i just want him to have a good home . jordan was really helpful . she -- she did a lot for me , which , you know , maybe that 's why he and i have such a connection . lani : maybe if hope sees what david means to you ... she 'll understand . especially now that you guys have had time to cool down and think about things . rafe : yeah . yeah , maybe . lani : you should reach out . see if she 'll come by . rafe : yeah ? [ chuckles ] oh . [ tense music ] lani : what 's wrong ? rafe : gabi texted me , but my phone was on silent , and she says she 's at stefan 's . she needs me to go there asap . [ phone beeps ] [ line ringing ] damn it . lani : what happened ? rafe : voice mail . um ... i , uh , i need to deal with this right now . can you -- you can stay here and watch him ? lani : yes . absolutely . you do n't even have to ask . rafe : okay . i will be back as soon as i can , all right ? you 're the best . thank you . hector : who the hell did you text ? gabi : no one , no one ! i was just getting in touch with my daughter -- hector : do n't lie to me ! gabi : i was trying to get in touch with -- ciara : gabi , get the gun ! get off of her ! no ! [ gabi whimpering ] gabi : ciara ! hector : you know what ? you were right -- i do n't need two hostages . it 's more trouble than i need . ciara : let go of me ! hector : time to ditch the excess package . gabi : no , no , no , please do n't ! ben : don't ... move . [ tense music ] eli : listen , ramon , it 's one thing to get hauled in for attempted kidnapping or to put you away for life . ramon : i 'm not going to prison . eli : okay , okay , all right , i can help you , all right ? but i need you to do the right thing here -- no one 's gotten hurt yet . it 's not too late to turn this thing around . i can help negotiate a good deal for you . ramon : i do n't need a good deal , and i do n't need you . i 'm gon na kill her , and i 'm gon na get the hell out of salem . eli : i ca n't let you do that . ramon : like you have a choice . i 'm gon na put a bullet in her , and then i 'm gon na put a bullet in you . it 's time to put this -- brady : chloe -- go ! get outta here ! [ suspenseful music ] rex : i mean , your -- your shift starts pretty soon , like i said . you do n't wan na just come with me now ? why do you wan na hang around here ? sarah : well , i - i just have a couple of wedding plans that i wan na lock down . rex : [ laughs ] yeah . like -- like what ? sarah : well ... eric just volunteered to be our official wedding photographer . rex : what ? sarah : yeah . rex : that 's amazing ! it 's an amazing offer ! thank you for that ! eric : happy to do it , you know . i mean , of course , you know , i mean , it 's the least i can do . but listen , we can talk about this another time . please , you should go with rex . sarah : but i still have some questions . eric : yeah , we can do this another day . rex : yeah , what questions are you talking about , sarah ? eric : well , sarah , she ... [ laughs ] had this idea that , you know , that it would not work out for me to be the photographer because she thought that you would probably ask me to be your best man , which i assured her that probably was n't the case . rex : yeah , i -- but i was gon na ask you . eric : and i appreciate that , but think of all the money you 're gon na save . i mean , it 's just one less thing for you to worry about . rex : i mean , okay . i - i guess i can -- i can ask dad to be my best man . eric : are you kidding me ? you know he lives for this stuff . rex : i know ! he loves it ! [ laughs ] so it -- it 's settled then . we have a photographer , and you can come with me to work right now , and ... sarah : okay , i guess ... i will go get dressed . eric : yeah . rex : hey , listen , um ... [ door closes ] i 'm actually glad you and i have a minute , because i just -- i really wan na clear the air about what happened between you and sarah . hope : lani , hi . lani : hi ! hope : hi . uh ... is rafe here ? lani : no , you just missed him . he got a text from gabi , had to go help her with something , and he asked me to look after david . hope : oh , all right , um , i guess i 'll catch up with him later then . lani : hope . wait . i just -- i want you to know that i 'm the one who encouraged rafe to take custody of david . and i am so sorry if it caused any trouble between you two . hope : no , no , it 's not your fault . it 's not . rafe should have talked to me first before making such a big decision . [ david cries ] lani : i 'm sorry , he 's -- he 's not supposed to be up from his nap yet . hope : oh , i think his -- his blanky -- he lost it . maybe if you give it back to him -- it always worked with my kids . [ david quieting ] ah . lani : sweet boy . back to sleep . rafe is just doing what he thinks is best for david . he feels responsible for him . hope : he 's not david 's father . lani : i know , but ... he needs your support . hope : we 're not in the place where we should be raising an infant right now , lani . lani : is that because of ted laurent ? ted : [ sighs ] [ phone rings ] [ beep ] hello ? [ dramatic musical sting ] are you insane ? i told you to never call me on this number ! hector : drop your gun or i shoot your little girlfriend . ciara : [ softly ] ben . ben : it 's okay . ciara , everything 's gon na be okay . hector : drop the gun . [ tense music ] now ! go ! stefan : is chloe here ? are you okay ? gabi : chloe has not come back okay ? he sent somebody else after her , and he 's here for you ! hector : she 's right . chloe 's probably dead by now . stefan : you son of a bitch -- hector : and you 're about to join her .

[ chloe sobbing ] it 's over , it 's over . hard part 's over . [ chloe sobbing ] rex : you and i have n't had a lot of time , just the two of us , to talk . eric : talk about ... rex : about sarah admitting that she had feelings for you . eric : you know what ? we really do n't need to get into that . i mean , it 's over , you guys are getting married , you 're happy . rex : i think we need to address the situation . eric : there is no situation . rex : well , there is to me . eric , it 's been bothering me more than i 've been admitting . eric : okay . rex : you saw the way that i snapped at you this morning when i thought you were bad - mouthing my engagement . eric : it was a misunderstanding , not a big deal . rex : no , it 's ... because , deep down , i 'm a little jealous . eric : you have no reason to be jealous . sarah loves you . rex : i know , but what brady told me , it 's in my head -- you going after nicole -- eric : i did not go after her . rex : look , maggie is also not thrilled that i 'm marrying her daughter , so if you can understand , i 'm a little insecure about my relationship -- eric : you have no reason to be . rex : i hope not . eric , i know that you told sarah that you never had feelings for her . but i would feel a whole hell of a lot better if i heard it directly from you . hope : what did rafe tell you about ted ? lani : he said that ted told you he loved you and that he wanted you to leave rafe for him . he also said that you did n't exactly turn ted down . and i really hope i 'm not being too presumptuous , but the way that i see it -- the man knows that your marriage is in trouble , hope , and he is taking advantage of you . hope : whew ! okay , uh , well , first of all , i told ted and made it very clear not once but twice ... i 'm not interested . and lani ... i would n't let anyone take advantage of me . lani : i know rafe has made mistakes , but you have to try to save your marriage . hope : [ sighs ] and you need to stay out of it . hector : i 'm really going to enjoy this . gabi : stefan , stefan , hector 's brother 's the one you shot to protect chloe , okay ? stefan : so i killed your brother . hector : that 's right . stefan : this is about revenge . i get it . i would do the same thing . so this is personal . let everybody else go . hector : as i told miss brady , i need a hostage to get out of here . ben : then take me . hector : trade the tiny little woman for the big , hulky killer ? does n't sound like a fair trade . ben : trust me , you do n't wan na mess around with the commissioner 's daughter . the police 'll do anything to get her back . you 'll never have a moment of peace for yourself . hey , look at me . you take me , they might just give you a reward . hector : the whole point of a hostage is that people do n't want 'em to get hurt . nobody cares if you go down . i 'm taking ciara with me . stefan : hey , hector , focus . this is about me , right ? hector : thanks for reminding me . i 'm done negotiating . see you in hell . ben : oh , god -- gabi : aah ! rafe ! oh , my god ! rafe ! [ whimpering , sobbing ] limu emu & doug rex : eric , i 'm not gon na be mad if you tell me that you had feelings for sarah . i just -- i want the truth . eric : the truth ? yeah , sarah and i spent a lot of time together . she helped me . i helped her through her darkest days , but like i said before , we were friends , nothing more . rex : all right . and she was standing right there when you said that . can you just tell me right here , man - to - man -- eric : rex , would you please ? rex : humor me , please . eric : okay , sure . you know what , sarah may have had feelings for me at one time , but i have nothing for sarah but friendship . i never will . rex : thank you . i know that was awkward , but it makes me feel a lot better hearing you say it . sarah : everything okay here ? rex : yeah , hi , um , i was just thanking my brother for being our wedding photographer . so you ready ? sarah : yeah . rex : cool . sarah : um , and ... we 'll talk later , okay ? eric : yeah .

[ light instrumental music ] joey : you ca n't lock the door . she pays our rent ; she has a key . jade : i ca n't believe she did that . i mean , we were doing fine , and then she came in and -- joey : caught you with a bunch of pills ? jade : let me explain . joey : i - i do n't want explanations . i 'm still waiting on the truth . jade : okay . you want the truth , joey ? the truth is , i 'm scared and i 'm lonely and i miss you . even when you 're standing right in front of me , i miss you . i miss what we had when it was you , me , and our baby and we had such a bright future . losing that and the complications from the surgery and everything that happened with my dad -- i 'm sorry , i just wanted to be happy again . like we used to be . joey : so you take a bunch of pills to make yourself sick ? so what ? so -- so i have to keep taking care of you ? jade : joey , i love you . when you 're looking after me , everything in my life feels right , like nothing else matters . but when you 're cold and distant -- joey : look , you lied to me , okay , and you used my mom . jade : i 'm sorry . joey : it 's not about being sorry . it 's about hearing what i have to say . i 've said it over and over again . how many more times do i have to say it ? i do n't love you . tripp : so what happens if i take the money from the vitalis ? you done with me ? steve : of course not . you 're my son ; i 'll never be done with you . but i want you to think about what that inheritance means . tripp : it means that i can finally stop living paycheck to paycheck , working in diners , always being behind on my bills . steve : it also means you 'll be beholden to that family . they 're the ones that 'll be paying your bills , buy your house . do n't forget , they 're the ones who changed ava . they took that sweet , hopeful young woman you saw on those dvds and they turned her into something vicious , someone who could put together that horrible room . i do n't want to see anything like that happen to you , tripp . tripp : none of this makes any sense . steve : i know . it 's all come down on you way too fast . so ... you think about things , about that money , about me , but just know that i 'll always be here for you , no matter what . tripp : even if i do n't do what you say ? steve : it 's your life . i just want to be a part of it . so you , uh , you staying in salem ? tripp : for now . at least until the lawyer gets the inheritance processed . [ clears throat ] steve : okay . you know , i was , uh , thinking about picking up some pizza on the way home , taking it to kayla . how 'd you like to come over and break bread with us ? tripp : not tonight . i need to think .

[ both chuckle ] sonny : how did we get here ? paul : oh , we were just in the town square . we walked around the corner -- sonny : i did n't mean it that way . paul : [ laughs ] i know what you meant . um , i mean , it 's just life , you know ? does n't turn out the way you expect it to , does it ? sonny : no . ca n't say running basic black was ever in the plans for me . paul : you know , when baseball went away , i , uh -- i did n't think there 'd be anything i 'd care as much about , ever again . but i , uh -- i found a life after sports . sonny : yeah , it 's -- it 's different for me . all this stuff with deimos made me realize how much i want to run titan , turn things around for my family . i 've found what i want to do with my life . and i 've found who i want to spend it with . paul : bet you were n't planning for that either . sonny : i was n't , but falling back in love with you is even better because it was unexpected .

[ crying softly ] maggie : i made the choice . no one did it for me . and god forgive me ... i gave you away . why would you and brady want victor and me to move in with you ? theresa : [ exhales ] i really thought you knew . maggie : knew what ? is the house being worked on ? i mean , is that why you 're suggesting this ? theresa : it 's not that . maggie : well , it 's something , and it 's not good , and you thought i knew . so , theresa , stop stalling and tell me the truth . what do you know that i do n't ? nicole : why do i get the uncomfortable feeling that you want me to go after your brother ? victor : if memory serves , you 're up to the job . nicole : maybe . if a man could do something for me . or after he did something rotten to me ... but this is about you . and deimos tossed you out of your house and he took over your company , so you go after him . this guy is not my problem . victor : then why did you come over here to talk to me about him ? nicole : well , for one thing , he told me i look a lot like a woman from your past . something you never bothered to mention . victor : yeah , i know . nicole : it explains a lot , do n't you think ? victor : what 's the other thing ? you said , `` one thing . `` nicole : this mess you 're in , it affects maggie too , and i love maggie . victor : well , then for god sakes , help me out here . nicole : [ sighs ] why ? hmm ? what 's in it for me ? deimos cut you off without a drachma to your name . victor : oh , come on . you know me , nicole . i 'll find a way to make it worth your while . theresa : okay , well , i 'll tell you what i know , but it 's not a lot . i heard brady and justin talking , and , um ... what they were saying was that -- well , deimos forced victor to give him control of the company . maggie : what ? victor turned over control of titan industries to that man ? theresa : it 's not just that . victor had to give him the house too . maggie : oh . theresa : maggie , i 'm so sorry . i really , really thought you knew , and i should n't have said anything , but i think that victor did n't want you to find out , and -- maggie : get me a wheelchair . theresa : what ? maggie : get me a wheelchair . i need to see victor . theresa : now ? listen , do n't you think maybe you should just let this sink in for -- maggie : no . either you get me a wheelchair and push me into victor 's room , or i 'll do it myself . one way or the other , i 'm going to see my husband , and i 'm gon na get some answers . help me here . nicole : could you maybe walk me through what you think i could do to deimos . victor : you 're a dead ringer for a woman that he 's grieved over for decades . should be a host of possibilities there . nicole : be specific . victor : be the nicole that i loved and hated . seduce him . make him fall madly in love with you . marry him . then take the son of a bitch for everything he 's got . [ soft music ] nicole : are there smelling salts in that nightstand drawer ? victor : why ? nicole : because you just asked me to get you out of the biggest jam of your life and i 'm feeling a little light - headed . victor : you gon na do it ? nicole : the woman that could do the things you want done ... she fell in love with daniel jonas , and she was gon na spend the rest of her life with him . so she worked really hard to put her colorful past behind her . victor : come on . she 's still in there somewhere . and this time , when she breaks out her bag of tricks , she 'll be doing it for a worthy cause . nicole : worthy cause ? fighting your battle with your brother so you could get your big house and all your money back ? victor : no , so that i can hire the best doctors in the world so that maggie wo n't have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair with a man who 's broke . i do n't think daniel would have wanted that for his mother . do you ? nicole : no . but the idea of crawling into bed with any other man , let alone this man ... victor : maggie could have died , and it 's all because of him . nicole : what do you mean ? maggie fell down the stairs . it was an accident . victor : look , i 've already said more than i wanted to . let me just tell you this : everything maggie is suffering through now is because of him . nicole : my god . victor : now , go ahead . think about what i said , please . and when i said i would make it worth your while , i was n't joking around . steve : you must have a hundred pictures of the three of us together . kayla : but that 's the one i put on the mantle . steve : why ? kayla : because joey said he liked that one and he does n't like many things right now , so ... steve : do n't you think having the three of us living together would make him happier than , you know , some picture ? kayla : i , um ... i put it up there the night that you moved back here . before we knew anything about ava . before our whole life unraveled . maybe that 's why joey likes it . steve : that 's why i like it too . kayla : yeah , well , your son is having to live with the fact that he suffocated ava , so if that picture gives him any comfort or helps him understand a little bit what might have pushed him so far ... that picture needs to stay up there , and joey really needs some counseling . steve : i 'm with you on that . kayla : i ... i tried to talk to him about it yesterday , and he refused , but i 'm not gon na give up . he needs to talk to somebody about what he 's done . and his needs just have to come before ours . steve : is that why you 're not telling him you were in the hospital ? kayla : well , i 'm fine now , so he does n't need to worry about it . do n't tell him about it either , all right ? steve : i wo n't . [ melancholy music ] kayla : thank you . [ door opens ] joey : you 're just giving up ? brady : summer , hi . summer : brady , hi . brady : why did n't you let maggie know that you were here ? summer : what was i gon na say to her ? the whole way here i was trying to figure that out , and i could n't come up with anything . brady : because you still ca n't forgive her for putting you up for adoption ? summer : i want to . i just -- i ca n't . brady : okay , come with me . summer : where are we going ? brady : we 're gon na go someplace where i can talk some sense into you . let 's go . victor : well , i was just about to have somebody take me down to your room . great minds . maggie : when we get released , where are we going ? victor : what the hell did you tell her ? maggie : do n't talk to theresa . talk to me . victor : gladly . in private . maggie : it 's all right . thank you for getting me here . theresa : yeah , um , i 'll just stick around outside , okay ? just holler when you want to go back to your room . maggie : okay . so are we going home or do we not have a home to go to ? did deimos really blackmail you into giving him the house ? victor : yes . and the business . maggie : and you did n't tell me ? victor : you 're in a wheelchair . how much are you supposed to take ? maggie : did you think that you could keep me from finding out ? victor : for a little while , yes . i did n't know theresa was gon na come prancing in and broadcasting the news . thought that was beneath even her . maggie : she did n't prance in . she asked us to stay with her and brady . victor : oh , for god sakes . maggie : this is not about theresa . this is about us . how did he do it ? what does he have on you ? victor : you . maggie : i do n't understand . victor : what he held over my head was you . ( vo ) if you have type 2 diabetes , steve : joe , i 'm not giving up . i 'm just giving your mom a little space . joey : packing a box of your stuff . that 's a lot of space . steve : yeah . well , you saw the note i left for your mom after she asked me to leave . joey : yeah , i did . it said you were n't giving up , and it said you did n't want her to either . it looks like she does n't care what you want . steve : well , i 'm giving her a chance to miss me . to miss us as a family . i 'm sorry . it was a stupid thing to say . joe , i swear to you , i 'll be back . [ sighs ] okay ... that 's the last box . i 'll take off . here , buddy . you 're gon na come visit me in my new digs , right ? joey : sure . steve : okay . kayla , i love you , but you already knew that . joey : well , you got rid of him . are you happy now ? [ door opens ] summer : you did n't say a word all the way home . brady , i know you think i should tell maggie all is forgiven . ever think that maybe she does n't care what i do ? brady : okay , i -- i think she cared enough about you to decide that life with a scared 17-year - old mother with no father was n't a good enough life for her baby . that 's what i think . summer : so why did n't she say that when i told her i was her daughter . why did she lie ? brady : i do n't know . maybe because i sprung you on her with no warning . maybe she 's just as scared as you are . you know , summer , her life is pretty much crap right now . maybe ... maybe you could extend a little bit of understanding . unless that 's not what you want to do . maybe you just want to keep dragging this thing out . summer : why would i want that ? brady : maybe you think that 's the best way to keep me feeling sorry for you . maggie : so deimos had something on me that he used to blackmail you ? but my only secret was summer , and now she knows the truth . victor : nothing that you did . what my brother did . maggie : well , then i really do n't understand what you 're talking about . victor : i 've been lying here trying to figure the best way to break it to you , but there 's no gentle way to say something like this . you 're in that chair because of him . maggie : i 'm in this chair 'cause i was dizzy and i fell down the steps . victor : no , the reason you were dizzy is because deimos was poisoning you . maggie : what ? victor : you remember when you were saying you did n't feel right ? and you remember the night that you fainted at brady and theresa 's engagement party ? maggie : of course . victor : well , that 's because deimos was making you sick , and that 's why you got dizzy , and that 's why you fell . you would have died that night , but deimos was there and he said he had an antidote to the poison . but there was only one way that he would turn it over to me . maggie : so he would n't save my life unless you turned over everything that you have ? so you gave up everything that you have ... so i could live ? joey : i just do n't get it . dad loves you ... and you still love him . i can tell . kayla : sometimes love is just not enough , joey . joey : why not ? kayla : taking chances makes your father feel alive . i ca n't live that way anymore , and i do n't want you to either . joey : just because you do n't have the guts does n't mean that i do n't . kayla : joey , are you okay knowing that you took someone 's life ? joey : no ! of course not ! why would you even ask me that ? but throwing dad out 's not gon na change anything . you 're tearing our family apart for no reason ! summer : so you do agree with theresa now . you think i 'm working you . brady : your total lack of compassion for maggie ... for what she went through when you were born ... with what you 've witnessed with your own eyes -- yes , summer , i 'm questioning what you really want . summer : wow . [ scoffs ] for you to say that to me ... you think i 'm hurting maggie so you can keep feeling sorry for me ? what do i need to do to prove that you and theresa are wrong about me ? brady : it 's very simple . just give maggie another chance . maggie : deimos came to the house the day that you were sick in bed with a cold . he claimed he wanted to make peace with you . i did n't believe him . i told him to leave . he asked for a glass of water first . there was n't any of them on the bar . um ... i went to the kitchen and i left him alone . hmm , my purse was in the room . the myasthenia pills were in it . victor : probably switched them . maggie : yeah . soon after that , i felt strange . victor , why did n't i just throw him out ? victor : because that 's not who you are . maggie : but you lost everything . victor : just money . if i 'd lost you , all the money in the world would n't have done any good . maggie : you saved my life . victor : you 're in that chair because of me . if i had n't fought with helena , she would n't have ... died . and i think that you 're ... you know , if the gods were trying to come up with the perfect punishment , they nailed it . maggie : the gods did n't come up with the punishment . deimos did . [ sighs ] and now i know him . he was n't the passionate young man in love like you were . and i 'm sure that he was as cold and calculating when he seduced helena as he was when he poisoned me . [ sighs ] there 's no changing a man like him . all you can do is get revenge . victor : did i hear maggie horton say , `` revenge `` ? maggie : why not ? are you in ?

[ chuckles ] turn 40 or something ? joey : [ sighs ] yeah , i hear you . jade : [ scoffs ] they 're talking about boarding school . joey : you do n't want that , believe me . jade : yeah , i know . right ? joey : when i got home , my dad was packing up the last of his stuff . he 's gone . jade : for real ? joey : he says he 's coming back , but she had that look in her eye . jade : after everything you did to try and get them back together . joey : looks like it 's just gon na be me and my mom again . casseroles . `` how was your day , joey ? `` i ca n't take it . jade : [ chuckles ] you know what we should do ? joey : i wish i did . jade : just take off . kiss this crap town good - bye . kayla : oh , uh ... do n't tell me you make house calls . you 're gon na make us all look bad . fynn : i 'm off duty , and you 're on my way home . kayla : oh . fynn : i was wondering why you did n't come to work this morning . kayla : oh , i just took a personal day . i 'm fine . fynn : no headaches ? no dizziness ? kayla : none of the above . fynn : 'cause you and i both know that hematoma 's nothing to be treated casually . kayla : i am doing everything my doctor prescribed . fynn : okay , good . an iced tea . you know , that sounds good . but , please , do n't go out of your way . [ both chuckle ] kayla : i 'm sorry , certainly . come in . um , lemon or sugar ? fynn : both . i mean , if i 'm not intruding . kayla : no , as you can see , i have the house to myself . victor : you know , i did deimos a grave injustice . now he feels that he has what he deserves . maggie : so we 're gon na just let it go ? move in with brady and theresa , and learn how to comparison shop ? victor : if i make a move , it could cause a war between deimos and me . i 've got a lot more to lose than he does , so as far as i 'm concerned , man does n't exist . i wo n't raise a finger against him . [ dramatic music ] frustrated with your overactive bladder medicine not working ? kayla : so how did you end up in this country ? fynn : when i was in doctors without borders in central america , one of the surgeons there , he took me on as a protégé . so when he returned to his regular job in l.a. , he helped me get on the staff . kayla : ah , which is how you met daniel . fynn : right . best mate i ever had . worst poker player i ever saw .

[ laughing ] theresa : [ laughing ] maggie ! oh , my ... summer : why are you laughing ? maggie : oh , well , there are times when that 's all you can do , and this is one of them . summer : if you 're not too tired , i was hoping i could talk to you . maggie : i 'm not tired . i 'm just -- i 'm dazed . summer : dazed ? maggie : i 'm dealing with some news i did n't see coming . summer : i oughta go . maggie : no . i 'm glad you 're here . theresa : i 'll , um ... i 'll just take the wheelchair back to the nurse 's station . call you later ? maggie : good . summer : i 'm here because i have something that belongs to you . maggie : you do ?

[ chuckles ] i get it . you know , the only thing that you have to understand is that we 're a family now and you know that , right ? david : yeah . rafe : yeah , you sure do . we 're family and i love you , and that 's never gon na change . yeah , that 's right . can i get a hug , buddy ? come here . come here . give me a big hug . oh , yeah . that 's right . marlena : there 's nothing i 'm going to say to you . i do remember that you tried to burn kayla and me to death in those coffins . orpheus : ah , it 's water under the bridge . marlena : hardly ! you terrorized a whole town and you turned your son into a criminal . orpheus : watch it . marlena : oh , i see . you can dish it out , but you ca n't take it . you do n't like it when somebody else tells you that your son preyed on sonny , that your son killed a woman , and that your son also was completely willing to see ben be executed for a crime that he himself had committed . orpheus : i know what my kid 's done . i also know whose fault it is -- yours . [ piano music playing ] jennifer : [ gasps ] oh , jack , honey . thank you so much for meeting me . i know things are crazy at the newspaper . i just needed to see you . jack : always , always . i just said the boss lady was on the phone and i had to take it . so what 's going on ? you sound so down . jennifer : no , i 'm not down . it 's just -- i was at the hospital with kayla and she was talking about how she has to make this decision right away , and then justin walked in and it just -- it was just so -- jake : crunchy . jennifer : uncomfortable , crunchy , yes , jack , and i just -- i hate this . i hate this for all three of them . jack : so , kayla 's made her decision ? jennifer : yeah . she is sharing it with steve as we speak . kayla : this is such a turnaround from earlier . [ monitor beeping ] steve : well , i was being selfish before . i love you , baby . i love you so much , and i just want what 's best for you , and i think what 's best for you is to be with justin . kayla : you want me to be with justin ? steve : yeah . yes . kayla : i -- i -- i mean , this is just all so sudden . i mean , just this morning you were saying that you -- you were gon na fight for me , you were n't gon na let me go , and now you 're pushing me towards another man ? i mean , wh -- where 's all this coming from ? steve : [ sniffs ] i found out some things . kayla : what -- what things ? steve : before you did the operation on me , when i still had a god - forsaken chip in my head , i not only hurt john and marlena . i hurt you . i kidnapped you , i held you hostage , and i almost gassed you to death . kayla : who told you this ? justin : when you were stefano , you got shot , so you went to kayla for help , and she of course assumed that you were you , so when you asked her to hide you , she agreed , but she soon realized that something was wrong . steve : what did i do ? justin : you took her hostage . her life for marlena . steve : no . justin : yes , and i was there for the exchange . you were ruthless -- brutal . steve : but i let her go . justin : yeah , after you got what you wanted ; marlena , and you took off , but you locked us in . john , too . you booby - trapped the room . you nearly gassed us to death . kayla almost died . steve : no , no , there 's no way -- no way i could have done this ! no matter how out of my mind i was , i would never try to kill kayla ! never ! [ knock on door ] justin : if you do n't believe me , steve , you can ask john . i got ta go . steve : john was here . he confirmed all the horrible things i did to you , and when i heard that , i -- i ca n't expect you to be with a man who tried to kill you . kayla : steve -- steve : no , baby , please . please do n't argue with me . i 've made my decision . i wo n't change my mind . it 's over . it has to be . justin : let me get this straight . evan is out on bail because orpheus took full responsibility for kidnapping david . rafe : yeah . justin : but orpheus gets to skate on that charge because the isa owed him one ? rafe : it 's unbelievable , right ? i know . justin : it 's a travesty of justice . rafe : yes . yes , and we can fight that later , but right now i need you . i need you to help keep these psychopaths away from my child . justin : okay . where 's orpheus now ? rafe : i dunno . he was on my couch earlier , though . justin : what ? rafe : yeah , he broke in here . he broke in while i was gone . justin : well , i 'll use that to try and get a restraining order . all right , listen , rafe . until you legally become david 's father , you may not be able to keep orpheus and evan away from him . rafe : i know . i know that . that 's why i need you . i need you to fast track this adoption process . i mean , the only thing that was -- that was standing in my way before was evan 's background . justin : and we now know who evan really is ; a fraud and a killer , and even though the charges against orpheus were dropped , he still kidnapped david . rafe : yeah . justin : so once i present that to a judge , i ca n't imagine that the child would be awarded to either one of them . rafe : yeah , good . okay . i was -- i was trying to explain it to david earlier that -- that i was his dad and that -- oh , i just -- i do n't know how much of it he understands . justin : he understands that you love him , and that 's what matters most . rafe : not to the law , it doesn't . it does n't mean a damn thing , not until this adoption process goes through . i ca n't risk this -- i need this to happen . i can not have anyone take david from me ever again . [ both sighing ] evan : i wish i had been able to control my temper when i found jordan here in salem . zoey : you killed jordan by accident and it is my job to prove it , and i will . zoey : i know . it 's just sometimes i wish i listened to dad and taken off with david when i had a chance . zoey : well , i 'm glad you didn't . if you were on the run , i would n't get to see you or my little nephew again . evan : i 'd hate that , too . but at least i 'd have my son . marlena : you 're blaming me for what happened to evan ? orpheus : you 're damn right i do . things could have turned out differently if you 'd raised my children like i asked . marlena : i 'm not their mother ! i 'm not their nanny . it was your responsibility to raise your own children . orpheus : mine and my wife 's , but john stole rebecca from me , so i stole you from him . marlena : oh ! john : damn you ! marlena : john , thank god you 're here . john : i just got word from salem p.d . marlena : yes , yes , morpheus has escaped , so call them and he should be taken back in . morpheus : i 'm not going back to prison . marlena : john , john , call them -- please call them . john : there 's nothing they can do . all the charges against orpheus have been dropped . [ kayla groans ] steve : when i came back to salem , i was horrible to you , and then after i got shot , i had the nerve to ask you to help me . you should have kicked me to the curb . kayla : i told you i do n't blame you for any of it . steve : i blame myself . kayla : well , why ? stefano had you picked up and ordered rolf to put a chip in your head . now , how is that your fault ? steve : i never would have been in a position to be picked up by stefano 's people if i had come home when you called me , but i should have ! kayla : no , it was me . it was me -- i went behind your back with stefan and i -- and i got the bionic eye and then it was hacked and -- and then you were arrested . steve : i can still hear the pain and the sadness in your voice when you begged me to come home , and i didn't . kayla : if you would just -- steve : no , kayla . no . i almost took your life . i did that . that 's why you ca n't be with me anymore . they are the heroes , the helpers - john : so that 's it . orpheus provided information to the isa , and in return they let him go . marlena : well , i hope the isa vetted the information because -- because orpheus can never be trusted . orpheus : ah , well , you 'll have plenty of time to change your mind about me now that i 'm free and living in salem . i 'm sure we 'll have a lot of opportunities to see one another . marlena : how can you live in a place where everybody despises you ? orpheus : simple . my grandson lives here . davey 's a real cutie . i 'd love to introduce you . john : you come anywhere near my wife again -- orpheus : and you 'll what ? kill me ? many have tried . none have succeeded . john : get out of my house or i 'll end that streak right now . orpheus : hmm . my dear marlena . it 's good - bye for now but not forever . [ marlena crying ] john : it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay . it 's okay , it 's okay . [ marlena crying ] justin : i 'll get right on those restraining orders and i 'll do my best to expedite david 's adoption . rafe : excellent . thank you . thank you so much . i know , uh , it 's a lot to ask considering how much you 're going through right now . by the way , how 's steve ? justin : steve ? uh , yes . well , the good news is , uh , the microchip was successfully removed and he got his memory back . rafe : yeah . justin : the bad news is , i 'm not sure what that means for me and kayla . [ clears throat ] rafe : yeah . well , i 'm friends with all of you , so , hard for me to know what to say . justin : yeah , well , kayla and my love story may have just started , but it 's a damn good one and i plan to fight to keep it going . jack : even though justin told kayla that he 's gon na fight for her , he 's got ta be prepared for the worst knowing the history that she shares with steve . jennifer : yeah , but justin also made a good point that all of their history was n't good , jack . jack : hey , hey , couples have rough patches . look at -- i mean , you and me . we 've had ours . jennifer : absolutely , jack , but steve was cruel to kayla . i mean , he was absolutely awful , and of course she knows that that was n't really steve , and -- and i 'm sure that she can get past all that . jack : so you think kayla 's leaning toward steve ? jennifer : well , do n't you ? kayla : and you think i belong with justin because what ? i 'm safer with him ? steve : oh , you will be , sweetness . but that 's not the only reason . justin 's a good man . he 's stable . he 's supportive . and it seems like he puts you first . that 's what you deserve . i want you to have a life with him that you ca n't have with me . kayla : right . oh , right , of course . what you want for me or you do n't want for me or -- and when did you become this expert about what i need and what i do n't need and what i deserve and -- and who -- what justin can give me and what you can give me ? i mean , do n't i have a say in any of this ? people used to care . heck , they 'd come jack : look , we 've both been in the newspaper business long enough to know that even though you think you know where a story 's going -- jennifer : i know , i know . there 's always twists and turns that you can never anticipate , jack . i know . jack : yes , yes , yes . so , uh , on that subject , i got some news to share with you that 's not so good . uh , evan frears -- a.k.a . christian maddox -- has been released back on the street , and so has his father . john : i shot right home as soon as i heard orpheus was released . i am so sorry you were here alone . he did n't hurt you , did he ? he did n't threaten you , did he ? marlena : no . no , mostly he just gave me a hard time about deserting his children and he -- he blamed me for what happened to evan . john : oh , that 's insane . if anything is to blame for evan becoming a criminal , it 's the genes his father passed on to him . marlena : yeah . evan 's got a sister with the same dna . i hope she turned out better . [ evan breathing heavily ] zoey : i know you 're not the monster that people are trying to make you out to be . from what you told me , you really loved jordan . and i love you . [ somber music ] [ evan sniffles ] zoey : we 're family , chris , and we 'll always be there for you . evan : you were there for dad , too . zoey : i did what i had to do . evan : i know you have issues with him , but he was there for me when i really needed him . zoey : i know , but -- evan : you have your suspicions . zoey : it 's not that i do n't love him . i do , but we 've been around dad enough to know that he always has his own agenda . orpheus : you have a problem with that , my darling daughter ? kayla : this is my life that we 're talking about and yet you go on and on and tell me what i need and who i should love . i mean , do n't you think that i should be the one to decide who i wan na share my life with ? steve : i 'm doing this for you , sweetness . you have been patient and understanding with me for decades . i mean , just for once , be selfish and choose someone who will always be sure that you 're safe and protected and happy . kayla : this is the last thing that i expected to hear from you . steve : you know , you and justin had a good thing going before i came back here and wreaked havoc on your lives . so forget about me . go back to being happy and know that i will never try to stop you . i did n't choose this exact type of metastatic breast cancer . zoey : do you deny having your own agenda , dad ? orpheus : wow . i feel like i 'm on the witness stand . am i ? i 'll admit that on occasion i make plans that are in my own self - interest , but never do they take precedence over the needs of my children . i 've gone above and beyond to help christian get his son back . zoey : which has n't happened yet . orpheus : it will . david needs to be with his father . he needs to know who his real father is . evan : i tried to tell him this morning but then ben weston tried to strangle me . orpheus : are you okay ? evan : i 'm fine . just frustrated as hell that i ca n't be with david . orpheus : yeah , well , rafe would n't let me near him , either . [ beep beep ] zoey : [ scoffs ] rafe 's lawyer just filed papers for a restraining order against you both . orpheus : mm . yeah , i had a feeling rafe hernandez would take action . so we move forward with our counter - plan , yes ? you know what to do ? zoey : i 'm on it , dad . [ tense music ] jack : i got reporters trying to nail it down , but so far what we know is that whatever information orpheus has given to the isa is enough to get him released from prison . they have given him immunity from all his past crimes and dropped all the new charges as well . jennifer : that is crazy . he is a sadist . he shot jj . he strapped a bomb to me . jack : right . i 'm just glad that hope was there to diffuse the bomb . jennifer : yeah , she diffused it . i owe her my life . jack : yeah . she was a real hero that day . jennifer : yeah , and the sad thing is , she does n't feel like a hero anymore , especially when she found out that she 's the one who pushed me off that balcony and all of the other terrible things that gina did . jack : yeah . if only those memories could be removed like a chip . jennifer : jack , when i think about all the horrible things that all of our friends and family are going through , i just feel so lucky . i have you back , we have our kids , we have our grandkids , and i could n't love you any more than i do right now . jack : i love you , too , jennifer , with all my heart . oh , hey . it 's okay . zoey : thank you for seeing me . i 'll get right to the point . i know your attorney filed papers for a restraining order against christian maddox and his father . rafe : mm - hmm . yeah , he 's also moving full speed ahead to finalize my adoption of david . zoey : david has a father . rafe : mm - hmm . yeah , who 's a murderer . zoey : an alleged murderer . that child belongs with his family , and i 'm suing for custody to make sure that 's where he ends up . rafe : well , i can tell you right now that you 're wasting your time because that 's never gon na happen . kayla : you know , i do n't know why i 'm surprised that you 're trying to make decisions for my life -- that 's what you did our entire marriage . steve : what are you talking about ? kayla : come on , steve . you know it was a pattern . you -- you making unilateral decisions about our life together , but you know what ? no more . maybe you have n't changed , but i have , and i 'm just done with it . i am done with it . you are not making decisions about my life anymore . you got that ? do you understand ? because i have my own mind and i am gon na do whatever i want with whomever i want , and you can go to hell ! has asthma pushed you into a smaller life ? [ melancholy music ] [ kayla sniffles ] justin : kayla . sweetheart . why are you crying ? jennifer : i mean , jack , i told hope that no one blames her for what gina did and that she just has to stop blaming herself . jack : not so easy , though , huh ? jennifer : no , but i 'm gon na be there for my cousin , and i am gon na support her any way that i can . jack : okay . just do me a favor . do n't go running all around town . with orpheus back in town , i think i wan na keep you in sight . jennifer : yes , well , as hard as it may be , i think that i 'm gon na stay really close to you . jack : good . that 's the way i like it . [ both laughing ] marlena : does everyone know that orpheus is back ? john : well , eli told me `` the spectator 's `` got the story so they 'll know soon enough . just in case , though , i 'm gon na give steve a heads up myself . marlena : i know you saw steve . john : yeah . he 's struggling , doc . marlena : yeah . yeah , of course he is . even more complicated now that orpheus is back . john : mm , do n't worry , that maniac 's not gon na hurt him or us . because if stefano could n't break us , no one can , and i 'm always here to protect you , baby . marlena : mm . [ john groans ] rafe : please tell me why the hell you think that a judge would give custody to evan or orpheus . they 're -- they 're criminals , for god 's sake . zoey : i 'm not suing for custody on their behalf . i 'm suing for myself . rafe : [ laughs ] okay , so you think that the judge is gon na give custody to evan 's lawyer ? zoey : his name is christian , and i 'm not just his attorney . i 'm his sister . evan : i hope you do n't think zoey is n't loyal to you . orpheus : oh , i do n't expect passionate displays of allegiance from your sister . she 's more the , um , buttoned - up cerebral type . smart . really smart . evan : i am so grateful for that right about now . orpheus : as well you should be . it 's good to have a lawyer as sharp as she is in the family , but there are some things that need to stay between us . you know what i mean , right ? evan : of course i do . orpheus : well , keep it to yourself . no one needs to know what we did . [ intense music ] | rafe asked justin to help him get custody of david . evan told zoey that he should have left town with david . she said she was glad he did n't because she would n't have the chance to see him or her nephew . orpheus blamed marlena for what happened to evan . she said it was n't her fault . he said she did n't raise his children . she said she was n't their mother . he said john took rebecca from him so he was taking her from john . john came in . marlena told him what orpheus was doing . she said he could go to prison . john said he could n't go to prison because the charges were dropped . steve told kayla about the way he treated her when he came back to salem . she told him it was n't him . she said rolf put the chip in his head . he said rolf was able to do it because he was trying to be a hero . he told her not to be with him . |

[ dramatic music ] hope : talk to me about dr. seth malcolm . deimos : you want to know more about what happened to bo . hope : and to be even more to the point , i have reason to believe that you were involved in bo 's kidnapping ... and torture . is that true ? deimos : yes , it is . hope : you son of a -- deimos : but before you do anything ... i 'm being upfront . i was very careful . my hands are clean . hope : your hands -- your hands are not clean . deimos : there 's no way for you to prove anything . so to save you a lot of wasted time and effort , you need to know ... there 's absolutely nothing you can do .

'cause i think you feel horribly guilt . and you 're punishing yourself for what you did and watching you do that is breaking my heart . [ somber music ] chad : abby ... [ door slams ] jennifer : i 'm just so glad that you and chad found her , but i ca n't understand why she ran away . jj : she overheard chad and marlena talking about possibly having her committed if she gets any worse . jennifer : you do n't think that 's what she needs ? jj : after the way she was today i -- i do n't know , mom . jennifer : i just feel like i should 've been there for her . i feel like i should 've come over here and helped her with the baby and then she could 've gotten some rest . and i just did n't know that it was this bad . and i have been so busy lately . just -- you think i let her down too ? jj : i think abigail is not the only one in the family that has a problem . hope : why ? [ screams ] why did you do it ? deimos : for the money . it was nothing personal . i was paid to obtain the formula for the serum that cured caroline brady . my employer believed that bo had access to that information . hope : i ca n't believe that i 'm standing here listening to this . deimos : do you want me to continue ? hope : no ! y - yes ! go on . tell me . deimos : we greatly underestimated his will . no matter what tactics we used , he gave us absolutely nothing . [ hope sniffles ] deimos : he could 've come home to you so much sooner if only -- hope : you son of a bitch ! how do you know i 'm not wearing a wire right now ? how do you know that ? deimos : you did n't think i was just going to tell you the truth simply because you asked nicely , did you ? you were completely unprepared for what you just heard . but you got what you came for , did you not ? hope : no . no , i did n't . i did n't get what i came for . deimos : there 's no proof for you to find , detective . so what are you gon na do ? nicole : uh ... i 'm sorry , am i interrupting something ? these pants always smelled like yoga - aroma . brady : my head -- my head -- i 'm just -- my head 's spinning . theresa : are -- you 're dizzy ? brady : no , no , not literally . i 'm just upside down . i 'm worried about everybody . i 'm worried about my grandfather , i 'm worried about maggie , i 'm worried about nicole now , for god 's sake . theresa : hey , i think you got through to her . brady : i do n't know why my grandfather would go to her . i do n't understand why she would agree to do this . i do n't -- i do n't get any of it . this is not her fight . it 's mine . theresa : i do n't like the sound of that . brady , please promise me that you 're going to leave deimos alone . brady : okay , listen , look ... i 'm not afraid of him . theresa : well , i am . brady : it 's okay . theresa : brady ... look , i know you never thought that these words would come out of my mouth , but ... like you said , it 's just money , okay ? brady : no . theresa : it 's not worth putting yourself in danger . brady : no , no , it 's not about the money , theresa . it 's not like grandfather 's destitute . maggie has chez rouge . it 's not about the money . it 's about his spirit . he might not be able to recover from something like this . theresa : yeah , i understand that , but i do n't -- i do n't know what you think you can do . brady : i would 've been out on the streets a long time ago , theresa , or even worse , if it was n't for granddad and maggie . i owe them ... i owe them everything . now it 's my turn to pay them back . deimos : no , you 're not interrupting anything . detective brady was just leaving . hope : what business do you have with deimos ? nicole : none of yours . hope : i 'll be back . nicole : well , you really have a way with women , do n't you ? deimos : yeah . i tend to elicit a very strong reaction from people . nicole : did you and kate kiss and make up ? deimos : why do you ask ? nicole : my dinner plans fell through , and i happened to be passing by . if you 're not busy , i was wondering if your offer still stands . deimos : of course . i would love to entertain you . but if we 're gon na break bread together , why do n't we not start off with a lie ? jennifer : i do n't know what you 're talking about . jj : mom , i 'm worried about you . jennifer : do n't be . jj : i - i 'm not judging . it 's not like i have n't -- we both need to be there for abigail right now , and , if you need help -- i -- jennifer : did i ask you for help ? jj : no , you did n't -- jennifer : then do n't presume that i need help . jj : mom -- jennifer : no , i mean it . really , the last thing i need is my son hovering over me like i am some pathetic woman who ca n't take care of herself . jj : i 'm not doing that . i think you 're an incredibly strong woman , but ... if -- if -- i 'm worried about you . jennifer : do n't worry about me ! if i needed help , i would ask for it . so please , stop -- stop looking at me like that . i am fine and i am together and i am going to be there for my daughter . [ thomas crying ] abigail : chad , i never thought i 'd be capable of doing something like that . um , i never ... never thought i could do something like that , but i just wanted him to go away . i just , i - i wanted ben to be gone so badly ... chad : i know . abigail : that ... i know i should have called the police . i know , i just ... i did n't trust them . chad : i understand . abigail : you know , i keep telling myself that i ... that i did what i did for thomas , but the truth is , i know i put him in danger . i ... could have killed him . [ sighs ] you 're right . but i just wanted ben to go away ; i just wanted to make him suffer . ben is a psychopath . but i 'm -- chad : listen ... ben was a threat to all of us . and with all of the stress that you 've been under and ... you are an amazing person . and an amazing mother . and you were just pushed to the edge and ... abigail : i just ... i snapped . chad : ben 's gone now . okay , we can get past this . abigail : [ crying ] chad : we will . but you ca n't tell anyone else what happened . abigail : well , i told marlena . chad : and she 'll keep it quiet . so will jj . but i ca n't protect you if anyone else knows . i ca n't lose you , abby . you and thomas are everything to me . you 're my whole life . you 're gon na get better . you will . that 's what you want , yeah ? whatever it takes . abigail : whatever it takes . abigail : i would never hurt him . not on purpose . but i am . chad : what do you mean ? abigail : every time i try to hold him , i ca n't comfort him , because he feels how freaked out i am , and ... you know why he ca n't stop crying . on some level , he knows that his mom 's not okay . i ... i was so afraid that you would take thomas away from me ... that i walked away from you , and i walked away from my family ... i walked away from thomas . something i never thought i would do . [ sighs ] so i 'll go . chad : you will ? abigail : yeah , i will .

[ clears throat ] i thought you were abby . sonny : i 'm sorry , chad . chad : you heard ? sonny : from gabi . gabi : um , excuse me . i wanted to check on the status of a patient that was admitted last night , julie williams ? uh , are you family ? eli : i am . gabi : eli , i was just -- eli : my grandmother will be fine . is that a problem for you ? julie : oh , thank you , darling . you are just too much . doug : i knew you 'd never be eating that cafeteria oatmeal . bzz , bzz . julie : [ laughs ] doug : of course , i had to sneak this past those hawkeye nurses . julie : you 're a gem . i 'm sorry i worried you . doug : you worried hope too , until , uh , valerie assured us that it was not a heart attack , that you -- you were really fine . julie : well , i 'm fine now . doug : yeah . well , i sat with you a bit while you slept . you seemed very agitated . did you have a bad dream ? julie : more like a nightmare named gabi hernandez . doug : ah . yes , eli said that the two of you had had words prior to your alleged episode , but he did n't know what it was about . julie : well , i started to tell him , but i could not bring myself to repeat the vile things she said to me . doug : vile enough to make you almost pass out ? julie : i also forgot to take my , uh , blood pressure medication . doug : ah . julie : gabi 's little tirade did n't help . doug : are you -- you absolutely sure that you did n't exaggerated your symptoms to make gabi look worse ? julie : of course not . doug , my heart was pounding like a drum . maybe a little . the girl is a man - eater , doug . and if nobody else is going to try to look out for the men in this family , i 'm going to have to . sonny : so fill me in . what triggered abigail 's sudden case of cold feet ? chad : [ groans ] um ... i , uh -- i told her that i had these unresolved feelings for -- for gabi . and , i mean , i was honest about it . i told her the truth . and i also told her that i - i - i was 100 % committed to our marriage and that it -- that they would n't affect it in any way . sonny : maybe she was just worried that your feelings for gabi would never go away . chad : i do n't know . i just wish that i could make her ... believe that she was the only one for me . sonny : my advice ? just do nothing right now , you know ? just step back and give her what she needs most , man . i 'm telling you . it 's -- it 's time and space . abigail : look , i will never be able to thank you for everything that you did for me when i first got back to salem . dario : i mostly just listened . abigail : no , i mean , you did a lot more than that . you helped me through all the horrible panic attacks , and you just -- you made me feel safe . i was literally -- i was falling apart , and you just brought me back from the brink every time . but things are different now because i am different . it 's like i told you last night . i 'm not the fragile girl i was when i first got back , okay ? i can and i want to stand on my own now . dario : i think -- i think that 's great , but just in case you ca n't -- abigail : no , there 's no `` just in case , `` okay ? not anymore . i do n't need a safety net . if i fall , i want to pick myself back up . and i need you to believe that i can . [ soft music ] [ soft country music ] dario : i respect you wanting to take care of yourself , and i admire how far you 've come in such a short amount of time . abigail : well , i would think that you , more than anyone , would be able to see how much stronger i am than what i was when i first got back . dario : you could n't have been able to walk away from a man you still love if you were that same girl . it took a lot of courage . abigail : you know , truth be told , i ... i was n't sure i was gon na be able to do it . but i just put on my bravest face and ... powered through it . dario : that 's the thing . you can show that brave face to chad and the rest of your family , and they may not be able to look past it , but ... right now , i can see you 're going through a lot . abigail : i will be fine . dario : you do n't have to do this alone . i 'm -- i 'm here . you -- you can lean on me . abigail : no , no . i thought i already made that clear . i ca n't . dario : because i told you how i felt ? listen , i ... i get that you do n't feel the same way . and i respect you too much to ever take advantage of your pain . abigail : i know that . and while you having my back does sound very comforting , i just -- i need to do this on my own . dario : fair enough . but if you ever need any help -- abigail : you will be the first to know , okay ? [ laughs ] but right now , i just -- i do n't have the time or the energy for anything but trying to figure out how i 'm gon na get my life back on track . and since i do n't really have a clue how that 's gon na happen , i just -- i need the time and i need some space so i can figure it all out . chad : no , you know what ? i - i - i get that she -- she might need some space , but -- but you 're gon na -- you 're gon na tell me while we 're renewing our vows in front of our entire family ? that does n't make any sense to me . sonny : well , i 'm sure the timing was n't ideal for her either . chad : well , she just -- she just thinks that i 'm just gon na stand by and watch her walk out of my life ? no , she 's -- she 's wrong , man . i ... when i thought i lost her the first time , it almost killed me , sonny . i ca n't do it . i ca n't lose her again . sonny : chad , hey . i know that you 're committed to convincing her to stick it out . but trust me , what abigail and gabi both need is just time to figure out what they really want . chad : gabi seems to think that -- that abby 's just doing this 'cause it 's what she thinks is best for me , so ... sonny : no , i do n't think -- it just sounds like she 's looking out for herself . she needs to protect herself emotionally . her stepping aside for you and gabi to be together , i think , is a step towards resolution for abigail . chad : well , ironically , gabi thinks that i should be working on my marriage . sonny : well , that 's gabi for you . chad : true that . sonny : i think you need to be focusing on what bonds you and abigail . chad : [ sighs ] thomas . sonny : exactly . for his sake , you need to -- you need to stay calm . you need to stay steady . and trust me , if you and abigail are meant to be together , you will be . chad : hmm . julie : gabi started it . it 's all her fault . i warned her , stay away from eli . she would not listen . doug : is n't it up to eli to decide who he wants and does not want in his life ? julie : i made a vow to myself on david 's memory that i would look after eli . and i 'll be damned if that junior - grade spider woman is going to pull him into her web . doug : sweetheart , eli 's a grown man . he 's not a boy . he 's perfectly capable of looking after himself . you need to back off and let him do that . gabi : look , i 'm not proud of flipping out on your grandmother . but you have to understand , this whole thing between her and i , it 's been coming for a long time . eli : yeah , so i hear . gabi : what did she say ? eli : basically , that you were trouble and i should steer clear of you . gabi : unbelievable . i mean , especially since she 's the one that -- eli : gabi , i really do n't want to hear it . gabi : [ sighs ] eli : my grandmother has been really great to me . gabi : well , she has no reason not to be great to you . but do not get fooled with her oh - so - sweet smile and her `` honey , darling , `` because julie can be a bully . eli : well , so much for not trashing her . gabi : look , she knew i was down about chad . and so she saw a chance to kick me where it hurts . eli : sounded like you kicked back . gabi : i 'm not the kind of person that 's just gon na take abuse lying down . i will always defend myself . i will always defend the people i care about . eli : oh , no , you do n't . gabi : i 'm gon na apologize -- but only for my part in this . [ dramatic music ] jennifer : sweetie ... i 'm so glad you called . when i woke up and i saw that you were gone , i just -- i was so worried that -- abigail : what , that i had disappeared ? mom , i 'm not gon na do that to you again . jennifer : would you do it to chad ? because i know he is such a wreck right now . abigail : [ sighs ] i never meant to hurt him . but i ca n't stay married to a man who -- who ca n't give me his whole heart . jennifer : honey , i know that -- that you think chad is torn because of everything that he told you about gabi . and i know this has been an issue since you came back , because we have gone over it so many times . but i said this from the beginning , and i still believe it completely , that you are the love of chad 's life . abigail : [ sighs ] so , what , so gabi comes in second ? 'cause i 'm not really comfortable with the competition . jennifer : no , honey , i just think he has so many emotions going on right now and you just need to give him a little more time . abigail : that 's all i 've done , mom . all i 've done is give him time . i mean , for the last month , i have examined and reexamined every single aspect of my marriage , and i just -- i realized that chad and i , we do n't belong together . i 'm okay , mom . i 've accepted that , and i 'm trying to move on , which is why i 've spent the whole morning just on the computer looking at job and apartment listings . jennifer : you 're just gon na move out of the mansion ? abigail : well , i ca n't stay in the same house as him , not after i told him i did n't want to stay married to him . jennifer : but it 's not like he 's pushing you out the door , honey . abigail : and i also ca n't keep working for his company . i got to be able to take care of my son , and since i ca n't really afford the nanny that chad has hired , i need to find something that pays well enough so that i can hire someone i can afford . jennifer : well , i am sure that chad will take care of you and thomas until you 've figured out what you want to do . abigail : i do n't think that you 're hearing me . mom , chad can not save me . i need to save myself . and that means letting go of my marriage and pulling my own weight as far as my son is concerned . jennifer : okay , but you want a job ? i can give you a job at `` the spectator . `` abigail : no , okay ? thank you , mom , but no . i do n't need you to get me a job , not at `` the spectator `` and not at the hospital . i need to find one on my own , and i will . jennifer : yeah , of course you will . yes , you will . and i think if we just put our heads together , we can figure something out . so let 's just go back to the house so we can talk about it and figure something -- abigail : no , no , no , no , no . i can not just keep running back to my childhood home every time something goes wrong . i need my own place . jennifer : honey , no , because you 're -- you 're not ready for that . abigail : is that really what you think ? jennifer : no , i - i ... i know that you are capable of doing anything that you put your mind to . but it was n't that long ago that -- that i lost you because you felt like life was -- was too overwhelming . so living on your own and -- and working is hard enough without having to worry about maybe -- abigail : what ? cracking up again ? jennifer : i did n't say that . i -- abigail : mom ... i 'm not the same person that i was . and i need you to stop worrying about me , and you 've got to stop trying to save me from the world . jennifer : i will never stop doing that , not after what happened . abigail : look , i would probably be the same way with thomas if i had been through everything that you 've been through with me . but that is why -- that is why it is so important for me to stand on my own and why you have got to let me do that . i got to run , but i 'll -- i 'll talk to you later , okay ? jennifer : yeah , okay . abigail : i love you . jennifer : i love you . i love you so much . abigail . okay . see ya . [ soft music ] [ knock at door ] kate : hey , sweetheart , how you doing ? chad : oh , kate , do n't . do n't . i 'm not -- i am not in the mood for this , okay ? sonny was over here . he gave me the counseling session . i do n't need any advice from you , okay ? kate : i know . i know you 're in a lot of pain . chad : yeah , wow , you 're very perceptive . kate : sweetie ... i did n't break off your marriage . but when abigail did , i kept quiet because i - i know how much you wanted it to work between the two of you . chad : yeah , well , i thought she wanted the same thing . kate : maybe she realized that it was n't working , you know . maybe she got tired of trying . whatever her reasons were , i think she did the right thing . chad : of course you do . from the beginning , you never wanted abigail and i to be together . kate : because i know that you belong with gabriella . [ dramatic music ] doug : hello , gabi . julie : i 'm amazed you have the c -- gall to face me again . gabi : we need to talk . julie : i do n't need to do anything with you . doug : ladies , i believe i 'm going to let the two of you clear the air here . behave yourself . gabi : i know what you did ... and why you did it . hey , ready for the big meeting ? julie : what i did ? you are the reason i 'm in this hospital . gabi : if that 's true , i 'm sorry . julie : `` if `` ? gabi : okay , look , that -- that 's why i 'm here , okay ? because i 'm really upset that things got out of hand . i 've been under a lot of pressure lately -- pressure that i 've put on myself to do the right thing . julie : if you want to do the right thing , just stay away from my grandson like i told you to . eric : abigail ? hey , you okay ? abigail : yeah , i 'm just wondering if coming back to salem was such a good idea . eric : it 's not how you pictured it would be ? abigail : not at all . eric : you know , i have time if you want to talk . abigail : i forgot you do that for a living . eric : listening is one of the things i can say i do well . abigail : [ chuckles ] it 's not just coming back . i mean , it 's -- it 's everything that i came back to and ... how i was pretending that everything was okay when it was n't . eric : your marriage ? abigail : it 's over . and i got to move on from that . i got to move on from all of the people and all of the things that have been holding me back , and that is chad . it 's my marriage . it 's my mother . it 's ... [ scoffs ] she just -- she does not understand that i need my freedom . and that is not just from chad . it 's from her . [ sighs ] now you probably think i 'm a horrible daughter . eric : no , no , no , not at all . you know , if ... you think your mom may be holding on too tight , maybe it 's just because she blames herself for what happened when you were at shady hills . abigail : i know . i mean , i know she does , and i feel guilty that she feels guilty . eric : well , sometimes parents look at their children as children . abigail : are you saying she 's always gon na feel like she 's got to take care of me ? eric : [ sighs ] i just think it 's gon na take some time . abigail : i mean , i get that worrying is what mothers do . i mean , there 's not a second that goes by that i 'm not worried about thomas . eric : and he 's a child , a small child who still needs you to hold his hand . abigail : yes , and i do n't . i need space . but i do n't -- i do n't want to hurt her by pushing her away . eric : well , maybe if you can find a gentle way to help her step back , you 'll allow yourself to move forward . abigail : hmm . you know , it 's really a relief to talk to someone that gets these feelings and does not think that i 'm a spoiled brat for feeling that way . eric : i think you 're very brave . abigail : my mom thinks that i made a mistake by leaving chad , but i did it for myself . eric : she 'll see that in time . abigail : [ sighs ] thank you . [ chuckles ] i - i feel a lot better . eric : remember , if you ever need to talk , i 'm always here to listen . abigail : i appreciate that . okay . i 'll see ya . eric : take care . chad : kate , you are like a mother to me , but you really need to learn when to stop . kate : all i want is to see you happy . chad : then you should know that gabi and i , we 're not gon na happen , okay ? we 've already agreed that i 'm gon na make my marriage work , and that 's that . kate : what about your feelings for gabi , the feelings you expressed to abigail ? chad : still there , and they 're still unresolved , but -- but -- but you know what ? they were never in any way a threat to my marriage , not ever . kate : how could you possibly say that ? chad : because ... i knew , over time , that my feelings for gabi would fade . but what wo n't fade is my commitment to my wife . and i will move heaven , earth , and hell if i got to to make her believe that . kate : honey ... you 're just fighting the inevitable . chad : kate , i 've heard all of this before from you ! kate : it 's different now . it 's different because abigail has moved on , and now you need to do the same thing and move on with your life to be with the person that you love . chad : hold on . wait . what the -- what the hell are you talking about , she 's moved on ? kate : oh , i 'm so sorry , because i thought -- i thought you knew . chad : kate , what the hell are you talking about ? kate : i just saw abigail with dario hernandez . they were at the pub together . obviously , she has moved on . sonny : hey , eli . eli : hey , sonny . what 's up , man ? sonny : yeah , i just heard about your grandmother . i was dropping off some medical forms for my mom , and i overheard her nurse say that doug was sneaking food into her room . how 's she doing ? eli : well , she was okay . let 's just hope she 's okay when gabi comes out . sonny : i hear you and gabi have been hanging out . eli : yeah . sonny : wait , did you say gabi is with julie ? eli : yeah , she went in to apologize -- which she should since she 's the reason that my grandmother was brought in . sonny : gabi ? what did she do ? eli : apparently , she and julie got into an argument , and it escalated to the point where julie almost collapsed . sonny : yeah , well , i wo n't deny that those two have had some tension in the past . but i will tell you this : gabi hernandez is worth any trouble she may cause . gabi : eli and i are having fun . he 's a distraction . he 's a reminder that my life does n't have to be a total downer . julie : so you 're using him . gabi : no , if he wants to spend time with me , that 's his business , not yours . julie : well , we 'll see . gabi : it 's not like i want to marry him or anything . at least not anytime soon . oh , yeah , that fake heart attack stunt thing , it did n't work last night . it 's not gon na work now . julie : how dare you ? gabi : best part is , i wo n't have to tell him how low his grandmother will stoop to get her way , because you just keep that whole manipulation thing , and the person he 'll want to stay away from will be you . julie : is this your concept of an apology , making peace -- coming in here and attacking me in my hospital bed ? gabi : i mean , you asked for it . julie : well , i 'm not going to pull back either , sweetheart . and moving forward , as they say , i 'm not just gon na be concerned about my grandson anymore , because abigail is my family too . and if you do anything to hurt either one of them , you 'll answer to me . chad : no , no , i do n't -- i do n't care what it costs . just -- i want it done . [ knock at door ] chad : i want -- hey . um , that 's exactly what i want . thank you . i appreciate you getting it done so quickly . hi . abigail : hi . um , is this a bad time ? chad : no . abigail : i just came to get a few of my things , but i - i could come back tomorrow . chad : will you -- will you -- will you come somewhere with me real quick ? i 'd really like to show you something . sonny : you know , julie hates gabi because gabi killed nick . eli : yeah , i 've heard all about it . sonny : from your grandmother ? well , did julie tell you that nick was obsessed with gabi ? that he blackmailed her and stalked her and nearly raped her ? eli : what ? no . sonny : yeah . nick pushed gabi to a point where she just could not take the abuse anymore , and she just ... snapped . eli : sonny , i had no idea . sonny : yeah , well , julie did . she knew all about it . but she chose to ignore the facts , and she made gabi out to be this monster who killed nick . and the same thing happened when jj and gabi broke up . she ignored the fact that jj cheated on her . everyone has their limit . you know , gabi 's not one to back down from a fight . believe me , i know . eli : you guys were n't always friends ? sonny : i mean , we had our issues , um , and we probably will again . but that does n't change the fact that gabi is a great person . she has a heart of gold , and anyone would be lucky to have her in their corner . well , hey , i 'm gon na get going . i really do hope julie 's okay and she gets better . it 's just , i 'd be damned if i let anyone make gabi out to be someone she 's not . eli : later , man . sonny : take care .

[ both chuckle ] dario : i care about abigail a lot . and maybe i would n't mind being more than just friends . kate : well , i 'm not talking about your feelings for her . from what i saw , her feelings for you are a lot more than friendship . [ stapler banging ] jennifer : it 's abigail . she is going through hell , and i 'm trying to help her , but -- eric : she wo n't let you . jennifer : no , she wo n't . eric : she wants you to back off . jennifer : yes , she does . wait , how do you know that ? eric : 'cause i saw her . she 's as frustrated with you as you are with her . abigail : what do you want to show me ? chad : you 'll see . we 're almost there . okay . um , open your eyes . abigail : what is this all about ? chad : you like scones , do n't you ? abigail : you know i do . chad : and mimosas . abigail : yeah . chad : [ whistles ] abigail : chad , okay , what is this ? where is everyone ? chad : so earlier -- earlier when i was on the phone , i was making arrangements to have the , uh -- the square cleared . [ soft guitar music playing ] abigail : how did you do that ? chad : i bribed everyone i could . abigail : chad , i already told you -- chad : look , just give me a minute , please ? abigail : [ sighs ] chad : i believe that our love is the kind of love that people write stories about . i just need you to give me a chance to prove it . tech : when your windshield needs to be fixed ... gabi : look , i know you 're still mad at me , but -- eli : no , no . i 'm not . in fact , i think i owe you an apology . gabi : [ chuckles softly ] good , 'cause i think i owe you one too . dario : you 've got it all wrong . abigail 's made it very clear to me that any interest she has in me is strictly as a friend . hell , she 's not even sure she has room in her life for that . kate : hmm . well , once she moves on from her marriage , i do n't think she 's gon na want to be alone for long . dario : well , that is what she wants now , and i have to respect her wishes . kate : and be patient . dario : what do you mean ? kate : well , i think if you give her the time and the space that she needs that she 's gon na come around . dario : like you did with my father ? kate : yeah . but that was too late . dario : you know , i spoke to him earlier . he said to keep an eye on you . kate : oh . i am more than capable of looking after myself , thank you . dario : ah ! and that 's exactly what he said you 'd say . but i 'm still gon na honor his request . kate : well , knock yourself out . dario : i 'm sorry the two of you did n't have the chance you both deserved . kate : i am too . but i 've had more than enough chances . i 'm going to make sure that you have your chance . i 'm gon na watch out for you .

chloe : i 'm still convinced that cassie was their first reject . belle : hey , i am not allowed to say anything until after the final date airs . it 's just driving me crazy . chloe : and what if you win ? are you actually going to go out with this guy ? belle : i have to . but it 's not really a date date , and shawn understands . chloe : good . so things are good with you guys ? belle : yeah . i feel like i 'm falling in love with him all over again . but i 'm not going to lose track of what 's important this time , and i 'm definitely not running away every time we have a misunderstanding . i figure if you and brady can face cancer together and win ... chloe : i could never have gogotten through it without him , belle . belle : i think you could have . i 'm just really glad you did n't have to . chloe : me too . tony : have you eaten today ? you know , you need to raise your blood sugar level , especially if you 're gon na exert yourself . marlena : thank you . tony : you want to talk about what 's upsetting you ? is it becae you do n't want to , or because you know that john would n't want you to ? well , how many times have you given me a sympathetic ear ? i 'll be grateful to be able to return the favor . we have children together . we should at least be able to depend on each other . marlena : i do n't trust you . i do n't trust that you 're not manipulating me to hurt john , to hurt me . tony : hmm . really , marlena , you 're the mother of my children . do you really think any of us would want to see you in pain ? marlena : you 're rooting for my marriage to bin trouble . tony : yes , well , unfortunately that was already happening . i have -- this has nothing to do with me . but you tell me . you 're a psychiatrist . do you think it 's healthy for you to suppress your feelings so you can be strong for everybody else ? do you think it 's right for you to deny a sympathetic ear when all you really want is to have somebody who will really listen ? you keep on putting other people 's needs first , and it 's gon na eat you alive . they lie awake , fearing their 11 and 12 years old are experimenting with drugs . some unwittingly found a solution . they buy them for them . kids on prescription drugs , part of a special `` global national `` investigation . bennnning tonight . shawn - d : so can you believe it ?

i mean , john knows pretty well what a difference you 've made in his life . i do n't understand why he rejects the idea that you could heal anyone else . marlena : i 'm a psychiatrist . i treat patients every single day . john supports that . he supports me . he even supports your children , which i might add you 've been unable to thank him for . he has a rightful place in their lives . you ca n't deny him that . tony : but does he want this rightful place in their lives ? marlena : john knows better than we do what those kids have been through . tony : oh , sure , and ttt gives him special insight into their potential as human weapons , pawns of stefano . god knows what he 'd do to them behind your back . marlena : he would n't do a thing to them , not without telling me . it 's not me john mistrusts . it 's you . tony : oh . do you trust your husband ? for all we know , he could be eavesdropping on this conversation as we speak . marlena : no , no . tony : oh , you 're so definite about that ? you take him at his word ? are you sure ? marlena : i should n't have come here . tony : oh -- well , well . john : hello , doc . tony : look who 's here . well , marlena , are you in trouble . marlena : did you follow me here ?

his murderer -- a kid not much older than ben . and i had him in custody . i could have made a difference , but i didn't . you know what ? even if we nail vin ramsell and carson palmer , it never ends . roman : no . no , it doesn't . but every one we get , that 's something . bo , we do our best . we chip away , one case at a time . bo : our job is to protect and serve . to protect . after a crime happens , after an innocent kid is killed in the crossfire , i make an arrest . it 's too damn late . and the perp knows he 's gon na be back out on the street in less than a week . he cuts a deal . that 's bail . there 's a technicality . there is no respect for the badge . it 's -- it 's like we give them a license to kill , roman . roman : bo , you 're not the only one that 's frustrated by the system . but what are you gon na do ? you gon na give up ? bo : no , roman , i 'm gon na fight , but sometimes i feel like my hands are tied . i -- i do n't want to put an innocent person behind bars . but when you have the evidence right there in front of you , that should be enough . ben wells . he was in the wrong place at the wrong time . my son was in the wrong place at the wrong time . hell , he could have killed a man . he could have been killed himself . this could have been shawn . if it was n't for my big brother , when i was going down the wrong path , this could have been me . john : i did n't follow you here . i was , um ... i was at the gym , and someone said they had seen you . marlena : with tony . john : are you upset that i interrupted your conversation ? marlena : well , no , i 'm upset that i jumped to the wrong conclusion . john : well , there 's only one person to blame for that . tony : well , not you , marlena . of course everything is my fault . john : no . you have every right to be upset , marlena , but not with yourself . with me . this is all my fault .

nicole : why would n't i ? i 'm intrigued that i look so much like her . this woman who was ... loved so dearly by you and victor . deimos : all right , first of all , victor was never in love with her . yes , he did ask for her hand in marriage . but make no mistake . it had nothing to do with love . nicole : right . got it . deimos : he pursued her for selfish reasons . personal gain . helena was from the tasso family . they were very rich , very powerful . he was hoping to use those connections to rise to prominence . nicole : and what about you ? you were n't interested in what helena 's connections could do for you ? deimos : no . i was in love with helena for who she was . i loved her with my whole heart . the pain of losing her has never gone away . rafe : why did you confront him face to face ? i thought that we agreed that you were gon na let me take the lead on this -- hope : rafe , i know . i was just on a little fishing expedition . rafe : oh , fishing expedition . really ? hope : he just blurted it out . he confessed to everything , like he was proud of it -- of being bribed . someone wanted the cure for topits disease . so they paid deimos a lot of money to extract that information from bo . rafe : right . and of course , bo would n't say anything . so they held him prisoner , tortured him for a year . and his tumor went unnoticed , untreated , till he died . deimos kiriakis is to blame for his death . ciara : all right , i got a retro boom box cut out . claire : totally rad . ciara : [ chuckles ] i got a `` back to the future `` poster and a `` ghostbusters `` poster . claire : wait , ciara . check this out . ciara : what ?

`` save our world . save our future . `` nicole : so ... you loved helena . deeply . passionately . but what about her ? did she love you back ? deimos : yes . yes , she did . and eventually , she even forgave me . nicole : forgave you ? for what ? deimos : i 'll admit , in the beginning , i had ulterior motives for pursuing her as well . i was the bastard son to my father , born of a different mother than the other children . so what better way to obviate my jealousy , to prove to victor that i was his equal than by stealing away his fiancée ? nicole : you say she knew your initial motives for going after her ? deimos : yes . yes , i eventually confessed the truth to her . and while she was angry at first , she could n't help but accept the obvious -- that my feelings had become genuine . as were hers . nicole : then if you both loved each other , then why all the sneaking around ? why did n't she just call off her engagement to victor ? deimos : she was afraid . she was afraid of her father , of what he might do if she called things off . and then there was victor . and victor was ruthless . he was violent . and you know what i 'm talking about . you were married to the man . i urged helena . i begged her to run away with me before victor learned the truth . and then my worst nightmare came true . he found out about my affair with helena and he confronted her . and she ended up dead . nicole : and victor let you take the fall for all of it . deimos : i lost everything to that son of a bitch . i lost the woman i loved . i lost my freedom . my brother destroyed my life . rafe : deimos must have thought he covered his tracks pretty well if he thought he could just blurt out the truth to you like that . hope : no such thing as the perfect crime . rafe : let 's hope there is . hope : what now ? rafe : i 'm not sure . the most important thing that deimos told you was n't that he was complicit in bo 's death , but rather , he knew you suspected him . now he 's just gon na be more careful , more vigilant . hope : i wonder if the key to all this is discovering the identity of my mystery caller . rafe : maybe . hope : because whoever this person is , they knew from the start that deimos was responsible . rafe : yeah . hope : they called me again today . rafe : what ? hope : yeah . they encouraged me to confront deimos , which obviously paid off . rafe : and you have no idea who this person is ? hope : no . but we ca n't give up . we have to take one lead at a time and find the proof we need to put deimos back behind bars . henry : bell - bottoms ? you 're kidding , right ? mark : no , totally serious . they were my dad 's . i found 'em in the attic . henry : yeah , no , dude , that 'd be awesome , except for bell - bottoms have been over since , like , the ' 80s , so ... mark : what ? no , you 're serious ? henry : very serious . claire : yeah , of course he 's serious . my date 's done his research . henry : we 're gon na look bomb diggity , girlfriend . claire : yes , we are , totally . mark : okay , okay , can we stop with the bragging and maybe help me with these decorations , please ?

[ chuckles ] rafe : do you think we can keep this information about deimos between us until we get some hard evidence ? hope : yeah , of course . absolutely . thanks for looking out for me . rafe : always . deimos : i 'm sorry . nicole : it 's okay . victor has that effect on people . deimos : yes . he certainly does . nicole : what about helena ? can you tell me about her ? deimos : she was beautiful . of course . but it was n't just her outward appearance . she had this ... this inner light . this ability to draw you in to her with just a look . she was charming , sophisticated , spirited . and her sense of humor -- wicked . i never laughed as much as when i was with helena . honestly , i have not laughed as much since . [ laughter ] just ... seeing you right here , with how much you resemble helena , it just ... it ca n't help but bring up all these vivid memories . nicole : is it painful for you ? deimos : yes . but also comforting . nicole : i 'm glad . thank you . thank you for the talk . i enjoyed hearing about helena . deimos : nicole . may i ask you something ? nicole : of course . deimos : how much is victor paying you to woo me ? ciara : you will not talk about theo that way . mark : whoa . i 'm not trashing him . just saying , he 's kinda challenged . ciara : not as much as you are , mark . mark : ooh . me ? ciara : yeah , you . you 're arrogant and shallow . and i do n't care what type of challenges theo has . he 's a great guy . mark : i did n't say he was n't a great guy . i 'm just saying , i do n't think he 's boyfriend material . ciara : he 's the best guy i 've ever known . and if you do n't get out of my face right now , i 'm gon na do something that we 'll both regret . mark : chill . theo : i heard what you said to mark . did you mean it ? ciara : that you 're the best guy i 've ever known ? every word . joey : stashed away in a drawer . i thought my dad might have taken them when he left . jade : sweet . joey : i also got some extra cash for gas . should last us all the way to los angeles . i hope . jade : [ chuckles ] you 're really getting into this , are n't you ? joey : yeah , why would n't i be ? hanging out on the beach , seeing our favorite bands . jade : getting to know each other better . joey : you already know me pretty well . probably better than anyone . jade : in some ways , but not in others . see , i want to know every little intimate detail about you , joey . joey : you want to do this here right now ? jade : think it 's the perfect way to kick off our adventure . fynn : that was rough . i 'm impressed at how calmly you handled it all . kayla : you too , dr. thompson . you managed to pull off a few miracles in the or . fynn : hardly miracles . just lucky most of the patients did n't have life- threatening injuries . kayla : that 's for sure , is n't it ? well , i think i 'm ... i 'm gon na go do my rounds , okay ? fynn : kayla , no . look , you 've done enough for tonight . why do n't you go home and relax ? actually , i 'm gon na walk you home to make sure you follow your doctor 's orders . kayla : no , that is not -- fynn : walking you home . no arguments . kayla : all right . hope : you know what i was just thinking about ? i was just remembering back -- remember the gta suspect we had that jumped out of his vehicle and ran across the field ? do you remember that ? rafe : yeah , yeah . he ran , like , 50 yards and then he got caught in a -- hope : totally tripped . rafe : `` ah ! get me out of here , i 'm stuck . `` hope : it was so hilarious . such a little coward . he had a torn pant leg and the tiniest little cut , and it was his arm , right ? rafe : yeah , excuse me . it 's the station . hope : okay . it was so funny . steve : you know , hope , i never crossed paths with rafe the last time i was in salem , but after working with him , i know he 's a good dude . hope : yeah . steve : it 's no wonder bo asked him to look after you . hope : steve . steve : and you know , i have n't been hanging around with you guys much lately . but after what i 'm seeing here today , i see there 's a different kind of vibe between the two of you than the last time i saw you together . hope : steve . steve : now i know you think this is none of my business , but i 'm your friend , hope . and you know how much i care about you . and i just want to tell you that i support you moving on with rafe if that 's what you want . bo was in favor of it . that 's good enough for me . talk to me . hope : steve , it 's just ... i do n't know . i just , um ... i - i feel a little ... a little conflicted , that 's all . getting involved in a new relationship , even if it is someone i really do care about . steve : i get that . but hope , you got ta find happiness wherever you can . we both know love can be fleeting . deimos : well ? nicole : you think that 's why i 'm here ? because victor 's paying me ? okay . yes . victor made me an offer . he said you 'd find me `` intoxicating '' -- i believe that 's the word he used -- because of my resemblance to helena . he wanted me to take advantage of that to manipulate you . and like i told victor , i only do favors for myself . deimos : so you turned him down . nicole : yes . i turned him down . i 'm only here because i 'm curious about this look - alike of mine and besides , victor is the last person on this earth that i would help . deimos : and yet you called for an ambulance when he was having a heart attack here . nicole : i did that for maggie . i could n't stand to see her lose someone so soon after her son , daniel , died . to tell you the truth , i think maggie is better off without victor in her life . trust me . i - i know . i was married to the monster . did you know he used to lock me in my bedroom like a prisoner , not a wife ? deimos : but you did get your revenge , did n't you ? nicole : by trying to electrocute him , yes . i did . and as the saying goes , the man 's too mean to die . but i believe i sent him a very clear message that i was not going to take his abuse lying down . so trust me when i tell you , i am not here on victor 's behalf . hope : is this about you and kay ? steve : yeah . and a whole lot of other people . love is rare . it 's fragile . it can turn on a dime . hope : can you tell me what happened ? steve : kayla 's been ... she 's been pushing me away lately . and she called off the engagement . she thinks i bring too much danger to our doorstep . so i moved out . i 'm hoping it 's temporary . i do n't know if we can work things out , but i 'm not giving up . hope : oh , steve . i 'm so sorry . i understand where kay 's coming from , but i also know that you would never intentionally do anything to hurt your family . in fact , you 'd do everything to protect them . and , steve , i know what you did for joey . you took the blame when he ... steve : when he killed ava . truth is , he never would have been in that situation if i had n't come back to town . hope : steve . you ca n't blame yourself for all the terrible trouble ava caused . i really hope that you and kay can find a way to work things out . you both love each other so much . and in the end , that 's all that really matters . is n't that what you just told me ? hmm ? [ dramatic music ] joey : i did n't know you 'd be home so early . kayla : obviously . uh , jade , i think maybe you should go home . joey : wait a minute . jade : no , it 's okay , joey . good night , dr. brady . i did n't catch your name . fynn : fynn . jade : nice to meet you , fynn . i 'll give you a call , joey . fynn : i should go too . remember , no stress . kayla : yeah . fynn : see you , joey . joey : bye . kayla : want to tell me what i walked in on right here ? joey : we were making out . big deal . kayla : you know , joey , i do n't think she 's a great influence -- joey : how would you know that ? and how 's that any of your business ? kayla : it 's my business because you 're under my roof -- joey : i 'm an adult now . okay , i 'm not having this conversation with you . and by the way , jade is the only good thing in my life now that you 're tearing our family apart . kayla : joey .... hope : thank you so much for helping me get these into my car . rafe : oh , yeah , no problem . hope : so relieved ciara and i finally get to move back home . rafe : i 'll bet this has n't been easy on ciara . hope : no , it has n't . be good for both of us to get back in our own beds . rafe : yep . hope : look at all this . i ca n't believe how much we 've accumulated over the last couple of weeks . and this is just the essentials . rafe : yeah . the essential selfie stick . hope : hey ! rafe : really ? hope : give that to me ! give that to me ! julie gave it to us , and i have to say , ciara and i have been having an awful lot of fun with it . actually , we 've , uh ... we 've taken some pretty great shots with this . rafe : mm - hmm . hope : want to take one ? rafe : nah , i do n't think so . hope : oh , i think you do . rafe : no , i do n't . hope : oh , you love having a good photo taken , come on . rafe : let me just ... hope : hey , listen . come on . rafe : god ... hope : ready ? wait a second . rafe : okay . hope : okay . are we gon na do this ? rafe : huh ? hope : okay , ready ? rafe : yeah . hope : it 's silly , but it 's fun .

[ scoffs ] so what ? would you have preferred a box of chocolates ? stefan : yeah , that would have been more appropriate , and just so you know , i do like chocolate for future `` expressions of gratitude . `` gabi : well , you know what ? it was just an impulse . that 's it . no big deal . stefan : `` no big deal `` ? gabi : nope . stefan : i 'm not saying it was a big deal . i 'm just wondering why you were so willing to humiliate yourself . gabi : what are you talking about , humiliate myself ? because i kissed you ? that 's not humiliating . you kissed me back . stefan : i -- [ clears throat ] you caught me off guard . gabi : so you could have pushed me away . stefan : i should have . give me another chance . gabi : what ? stefan : to push you away . gabi : oh , god no . no , that 's not gon na happen , see , because i just remembered from talking to you that i ca n't stand you . stefan : oh . nor can i stand you , gabi , but as you 've stated , you have needs . you 've been thinking about rafe and the cartel and all of that has obviously gotten your adrenaline going , and that , as we both know , causes us to do things that we would n't normally do . like , say , give us superhuman strength to lift a car , for example , or give us the courage to kiss someone that you know ca n't stand you with every cell of his being , and wishes you would just vanish off the planet . [ exhales sharply ] it 's a kind of high . gabi : that must be it then . that must be , and , damn , i wish i would have had a car to lift . stefan : me too . gabi : you know what ? there will be no further kisses . i can promise you that .

we had no way of knowing mickey was n't sarah 's baby when we ran into her . will : i knew something was up with her , and i knew she was lying about why she was n't wearing the wedding ring . i just -- i could have confronted her , but i didn't . i just let it go . sonny : will , you ca n't beat yourself up . the only person to blame for all of this is xander . letting brady and kristen think their baby was dead and giving her to sarah , whose baby died in the accident -- this guy is slime . xander : well , maybe next time you want to switch babies , you 'll leave me out of it , 'cause let 's not forget this was all your idea . victor : you were a more than willing participant . xander : i wanted to protect sarah from the pain of losing a child . victor : and i wanted to protect maggie , because thank god , i still can . xander : well , maybe not for much longer . victor : forever , damn it . look , i 'm sorry that sarah found out the truth . i truly am , but our job is not finished . we have to keep maggie in the dark . bad enough she found out that she was responsible for adrienne 's death . if she realizes that she killed her own granddaughter , it would destroy her . brady : joe , thanks for coming . joe : of course , i miss working for you , mr . black . you were always so kind to -- kristen : okay , enough chitchat . where did you take my baby ? joe : yes , ms . dimera . of course . as per ms . horton 's instructions , i flew her and the child to an airstrip in london . she told me not to wait for her . brady : did she say anything about her plans ? where she was gon na stay ? maybe to see a friend ? anything ? joe : she did n't say . just that i should come back to salem . i 'm sorry , mr . black . i had no idea she was kidnapping a child . i mean , as far as i knew , the baby belonged to her . kristen : did n't you think something was up when she did n't want to file a flight plan ? joe : she claimed she was going on her honeymoon with mr . kiriakis , and they did n't want anybody to know where they were going . kristen : [ growls ] god , i mean , did n't you think it was strange , maybe , that she was on her honeymoon with a baby and without her husband ? joe : she said mr . kiriakis was wrapping up some titan business , and he 'd join her later . kristen : are you the dumbest man on the earth ? what in the hell 's wrong with you ? brady : no , no , stop , kristen ! kristen : stop it ! you need to tell me where she is ! brady : kristen , stop . kristen : tell me where she is ! gabi : well , yes , my late husband has been on my mind lately , and this is his office . you were just sitting in his chair , and i -- li : i 'm really sorry about that . perhaps i should have called first . gabi : oh , no , that 's okay . that 's fine . what were you doing in salem ? li : well , as you know , dimera enterprises has been without an `` official `` ceo for weeks . gabi : right . li : the board feels it 's time to rectify that , so my father sent me here to assess the situation and make a decision . gabi : great . well , then you 've come to the right place , because there 's no contest . see , when it comes to running this company , i 'm the only choice . li : hmm . chad : i know sarah is your family , but you have to admit that what she did -- taking my sister 's child -- it was wrong . abigail : well , yeah . i 'm just saying i can see her perspective . chad : you do ? abigail : yeah , i do . she and eric -- they were there from the minute mickey was sick , and she was there every second , until mickey was back in good health . i mean since mickey was born , sarah has been her mother . chad : except she 's not her mother . abigail : no . i know . i mean , like , she is , in her heart . she 's her mother . chad : that does n't make any sense . abigail : yes it does . being -- she did everything that a mother would do for a child . she took care of her . she protected her . she was mickey 's mother , and that 's a really strong bond that you ca n't just , you know , flip on and off like a switch or something . chad : i get it . what i 'm saying is my sister 's wanted a child her entire life , and to take that away from her i think is cruel . abigail : well , let 's not sanctify kristen just yet , okay ? she 's been party to more than one kidnapping herself , right ? chad : so what ? she deserved it ? abigail : no , i 'm not saying she deserved it . i 'm just -- well , chad , she stole theresa 's baby right out of her womb . i mean -- chad : a long time ago , and it was under different circumstances . she 's changed . abigail : she 's changed ? do you hear yourself right now ? come on . i have one word for you . haley . will : i ca n't imagine what sarah and eric are going through -- learning the child you 've been raising is n't yours and that your real baby died almost a year ago . sonny : on mother 's day . sarah 's baby and my mom died from injuries they sustained in the same accident . will : oh , my god . i did n't even think about that . maggie did n't just kill your mother . she killed her own grandchild . xander : look , i love maggie too , but i just do n't see how we can keep her from finding out the truth . victor : well , ironically , her insisting on going to prison works in our favor . she 's in sort of a bubble , in statesville . xander : well , yeah , for now , but eventually she 'll hear what happened from the news , or another prisoner , or -- victor : i plan to talk to the warden . putting her in a situation where she 'll be as insulated as possible . xander : what are you gon na do ? have her thrown into solitary ? victor : no , of course not . i 've got people looking out for her , as it is , and i 'll just pay them a little more money to make sure she does n't find out the details of the accident . xander : but what about sarah ? victor : what about her ? xander : well , last night , she was too upset about losing mickey for it to dawn on her that her own mother was responsible for the death of her child , but she must have put two and two together by now . it would n't surprise me if she 's already at the prison confronting maggie . victor : she 's not . xander : and how can you be so sure ? victor : well , she fled the country during the night . xander : what ? victor : along with brady and kristen 's baby . brady : kristen ! kristen : no , listen , no ! i am gon na have you arrested for aiding and abetting , you son of a bitch ! nicole : kristen ! kristen : what ? nicole : the man clearly had no idea that sarah was lying to him . just leave him alone , and calm down . brady : she 's right . she 's right . joe : i 'm really sorry . i feel terrible about this . brady : joe , it 's okay . just thank you for talking with us . if you remember anything -- anything -- call me , all right ? joe : okay , i will . i 'm sorry . brady : it 's okay . kristen : stupid pilot was completely useless . brady : hey , hey . listen , it 's not -- you ca n't blame him . it 's not his fault . kristen : you know what ? you 're right , you 're right . it 's not his fault , and i do n't blame him . i blame your brother . i 'm phil mickelson . li : hmm . you are awfully sure of yourself , mrs . dimera . gabi : well , why would n't i be ? i have the knowledge , the drive , the experience . i ran this company for the last year -- successfully , i might add . li : well , until the board had to fire you , because of what you did to julie williams . gabi : okay , fine , so you have your reservations about my history , but i will say i 'm still the best candidate . what ? you 're not gon na rehire me ? you 're gon na hire chad ? li : i take it you feel that would be a mistake ? gabi : a huge one , and i can tell you all the reasons why . chad : that 's a low blow . haley 's death was an accident . abigail : oh , chad , come on . you and i both know that kristen pushed haley down those stairs , come on . chad : she was suffering from post - partum depression . she had lost her mind , because she had just lost a child . abigail : do n't do that . do not excuse ... chad : do n't do what ? and the whole thing was a lie ! the kid was alive . abigail : okay . if xander had n't triggered kristen , then haley could still be alive right now . and i do n't know , maybe she and my brother could be really , genuinely happy together . chad : yeah . like i said , what xander did -- it affected a lot of people . abigail : and you know what ? including sarah . sarah is gon na be grieving the loss of that baby forever . [ soft dramatic music ] chad : i 'm sorry . i should have been more compassionate to what sarah is going through . abigail : hmm . i 'm sorry . i should have been more sensitive . i know she 's your sister . chad : are we making up ? abigail : well , i do n't think we were necessarily fighting . chad : what do you call it ? abigail : i do n't know . difference in opinion , maybe . chad : whatever that was , i do not like it . abigail : you do n't ? chad : i don't . abigail : oh . chad : listen , we have to be on the same team here , if we 're gon na get rid of gabi . abigail : oh , we 're always on the same team when it comes to that bitch . chad : i mean we have to get rid of her , once and for all . abigail : yes we do . absolutely , and it 's not like we have n't tried , but this time , we have to get rid of her . she has to be out of this house and out of dimera . [ cell phone rings ] chad : it might be my assistant . it could be about kristen . it is my assistant . hey , roxanne , what 's up ? what ? okay . all right , yeah . we 'll be right there . xander : sarah kidnapped mickey ? no . no , that ca n't be right . victor : is that so hard to believe ? xander : i mean i knew she left the mansion with mickey last night , but eric and i just assumed that she was giving the baby back to brady and kristen . victor : well , obviously , she could n't go through with it . instead , she took off . straight for the titan jet . xander : where did she go ? victor : do n't know . they did n't file a flight plan . xander : well , have you contacted the pilot ? victor : brady is supposed to be in touch with him this morning , but i have n't heard anything yet . xander : no , just -- i ca n't believe sarah would do this . victor : she was desperate . xander : when i offered to run away with her and the baby , she said no . she turned me down , but i never would have thought she 'd just go off on her own . victor : well , obviously , she preferred to make her escape without you . xander : but she does n't have my resources . she 's out there all by herself . i 've got to find her . victor : did n't she say she never wanted to see you again ? xander : yes , but she 's gon na need my help to evade brady and kristen . if they track her down first -- victor : and kristen is going to unleash a fury on sarah , the likes of which the world has never seen . nicole : how is any of this his fault ? kristen : well , he 's the one who convinced brady to let sarah say goodbye to rachel . i wanted to go over there right away to get my baby , but no , no . we had to put sarah 's feelings first , did n't we ? brady : kristen . kristen : yeah ! brady : nope . nobody -- nobody could have anticipated that sarah would do something like this . do you understand me ? kristen : really ? nobody ? brady : kristen . kristen : nobody ? god , i am so sorry , eric . i did n't mean to -- i did n't mean to take this out on you . i did n't , and i mean , if it was n't for you and nicole -- i mean brady and i would never know that our baby was alive . eric : i understand . kristen : i just -- i 'm just so scared . i -- [ whimpers ] i 'm afraid that i 'm never gon na see my baby again , and i 'm never gon na get to hold her . brady -- brady : stop . kristen : no , no , no . if we do n't get her back , i just do n't know what i 'm gon na do . challenge what soft can be . will : poor maggie . sonny : you know , xander and maggie have this strange bond , but it 's a real one , so i guess he was just trying to protect her . will : [ scoffs ] maggie 's already had a hard enough time dealing with the fact that her drinking and driving killed your mom . i mean god knows what this is gon na do to her . sonny : well , i think she deserves to be told . will : are you serious ? after all she 's been through , you just want to rub it in her face that she killed her own grandchild ? xander : i 've got ta get out there to find sarah . victor : you sure you want to get involved with this ? she 's a fugitive . you 've got enough trouble as it is . xander : i do n't care . sarah needs me . i 'll do anything to make sure that she and mickey are okay . victor : i 'm not sure sarah will see it that way . xander : well , i know she 's angry , but maybe in time , she 'll change her mind . victor : and if she does n't ? xander : i still need to help her , even if she never forgives me . victor : you really are in love with her , are n't you ? xander : more than anything in this whole damn world . kristen : [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry . brady : no . kristen : i 'm so sorry . brady : you do n't have to apologize . you don't . kristen : i do , i did n't mean to lash out at everyone , and especially you , eric . eric : it 's all right . i do n't blame you . brady : why do n't you let me take you home ? kristen : uh - uh , no , no . i can't . brady : no , you need to . you need to because you need your rest . you look exhausted , and you need to have your strength for when we get her back , and we will get her back . [ emotional music ] gabi : well , yeah . chad may have the dimera name , but he does n't have stefano 's killer instinct . li : well , he was able to re - acquire all those shares from kate dimera . gabi : he was going to hand them over to brainwashed steve johnson . he attacked me and kate . he threw us in a basement . he tried to kill us . does that sound like a mentally competent person to you ? li : i thought you said he does n't have a killer instinct ? i -- which is it ? gabi : both , it 's both , okay ? he turned into this psycho zombie , and who knows if there 's after effects ? what if you 're in a meeting , somebody says the wrong word , he tosses that person out of a window ? li : [ chuckles ] that seems a bit extreme . gabi : totally plausible . i know chad . he is unstable , unreliable , and unfit for this job . chad : and he 's standing right here . chad : li , my assistant said you were in town . it 's great to see you again . li : you too . last time we saw each other , the circumstances were n't so idea . gabi : yeah , did n't you have to fire him for sexual harassment ? abigail : oh , actually , gabi , chad was reinstated once they realized that there was some evidence proving that juliette framed him . gabi : right . there 's always some excuse . someone 's always trying to get chad to do something he does n't want to do . he 's very easily manipulated , is n't he , li ? li : i 'm not here to talk about the paris office . chad : you 're here to decide who should run the company . li : indeed , and i have to be honest , chad . gabi has made some very convincing arguments against you . nicole : i am so sorry . on top of learning that mickey is n't yours , you have to deal with this too . eric : nicole , i would never say this in front of brady or kristen , but i understand why sarah ran off . i did n't want to let go of the baby either . brady : hey . eric : hey , so how 's kristen ? brady : she 's at home resting finally . is there any news ? tell me some good news . eric : rafe and the isa -- they contacted the local authorities in london , but unfortunately , there 's still no sign of sarah or the baby . brady : damn it . eric : brady ... brady : damn it ! eric : they 're gon na find her . brady : you know what i keep thinking about ? how did i not know that mickey was my baby ? nicole : how would you know ? brady : kristen knew . deep down , she always had that connection . [ emotional music ] kristen : [ sighs ] [ laughs ] brady . nurse chen was wrong , was n't she ? our baby 's still alive . let me ... brady : uh ... the doctor gave her to me so we could , um -- we could say goodbye . [ sniffs ] here . we have -- kristen , we have to say goodbye . kristen : no , no . brady : we need -- kristen : no ! brady : kristen , kristen . kristen : no , no , no . brady : look at me . look at me . kristen : [ sobbing ] brady : listen , listen . shh . give me your hand . give me your hand . shh . shh . okay . kristen : oh , brady brady : it 's all right . kristen : oh , god . brady : that 's all right . kristen : you have no idea how much it would mean to me . i only got to hold rachel for a short time , and -- and then she was gone . eric : kristen , i understand , but i ca n't let you hold her . kristen : oh , god . oh , my god . i was so close to holding her . so close . no , i ca n't stay here anymore . i have to find her . i have to find my baby . will : look , of course you have every right to be angry with maggie , but i mean i just -- wanting her to suffer like that ? i mean it just seems a little cruel . sonny : no , no . that 's not what i meant . will : well , then why would we tell her ? sonny : because the truth is going to get out , and i would hate for her to find out through the guards , or other inmates , or on the news . will : i do n't know . maybe she does n't have to know . sonny : but how are we gon na keep it from her ? will : you 're right , yeah . [ scoffs , sighs ] maybe i should go to statesville right now and tell her . sonny : you ? will : yeah , me , i mean maggie and i understand each other , and we kind of went through the fire together when we found out that she 'd caused the accident and not me . sonny : and you tried to protect her then too . will : everyone is so focused on the missing baby , and nobody understands how maggie feels right now better than i do , so i think i 'll go over there and find a gentle way to break the news to her about sarah and the baby . victor : like hell you will . nicole : brady , how could you possibly have known that xander switched those babies ? brady : well , you figured it out , did n't you ? nicole : i got lucky . you mentioned that rachel had a birthmark , and i spotted the same one on mickey . and then i just started thinking how xander insisted that tate get tested for the bone marrow transplant . brady : and he knew . he knew tate was rachel 's half brother , of course . eric : yeah , and you remember how thrown you were when theresa called ? brady : yeah . oh , god . wait a minute . eric : what ? what is it ? brady : xander -- xander pushed for tate to get tested , but he was n't the one that convinced theresa to do it . that was victor . nicole : and ? brady : and that son of a bitch knew that that was my baby all along . abigail : shin , you 're not actually giving any weight to gabi 's arguments against chad , are you ? li : well , they 're pretty damning . abigail : mr. shin , here we are again . hate to tell you this , but you 've found yourself another liar . gabi : oh , was i lying when i told you he recently was brainwashed and tried to kill me ? chad : i 'm happy to explain that . i can make a case for myself . gabi : i 'm sure you can . chad : maybe we go down to my office . we can discuss this further . li : that wo n't be necessary . i 'm fully aware of the strengths and weaknesses of both you and mrs . dimera , and i 'm prepared to make a decision . [ tense music ] eric : maybe i should have gone after brady . you know , he was so furious . nicole : can you blame him ? his own grandfather knew that his baby was alive , and he did n't tell him . eric : i just ca n't believe victor would do something like this . nicole : i can . and i would n't want to be in his shoes when brady gets his hands on him . victor : so are we clear ? you wo n't breathe a word to maggie about the babies or sarah . the truth would kill her . sonny : are n't you worried she 's gon na find out some other way ? victor : i 'm going to do everything in my power to see that that does n't happen . just promise me that you wo n't tell her . will : we wo n't say anything . victor : i need you to tell the rest of the family . please . sonny : i 'll call my dad . will : we 're sorry about -- about all of this . victor : everything i did , i did to protect you , maggie . brady : is that why you let me think my daughter was dead ?

rex : look , i like you , mimi . i really do . and if my plan works out , i 'll be able to spend more time with you very soon . mimi : you make it sound like a chore , like something to put on your to - do list -- mow the lawn , clean your room , spend time with mimi . rex : it 's not that . mimi : oh , right . what was i thinking ? dimeras do n't do chores . rex : whatever i say to you , you get mad . i do n't know how to talk to you . mimi : then stop trying . rex : you 're the one that came to see me without -- mimi : what , without an appointment ? rex : without checking to see if it was a good time first . mimi : and i 'll never do it again , because it is never a good time for you , rex . and it never will be . i am through being the only one who is willing to commit to this ... whatever it is . i deserve someone who 's interested in reciprocating -- maybe even that hunk from `` love is blind . `` rex : mimi , wait -- clubs ? would bring such a suspenseful the green jacket is going north of the borr . r. the perfect size . bo : are you thinking about being a cop again ? hope : mnh - mnh . no , no , no , no . i worry too much about you when you 're on a case . but i have thought about it , and i 've decided that it would n't be fair to you or the kids to have both of us on the force . bo : good . then what ? hope : well , that 's the frustrating thing . i do n't know what i want to do , and please do n't misunderstand . it is n't that i have n't loved being at home , but -- but things change . there 's going to come a time that zack does n't need me that much . bo : he ' 2 2 years old . hope : he 's almost 3 years old . he 's starting preschool . and then after that , it 's going to be kindergarten , and after that -- brady , do you hear what i 'm saying here ? i 'm going to have a lot of time on my hands pretty soon . bo : and when that time comes , you 'll find something . do n't pressure yourself right now . you -- you 'll figure something out . hope : you 're right . i will . but in the meantime , i will say it feels pretty darn good to be working out again . bo : uh - huh . hope : get this butt in shape . bo : i 'm kind of liking e e shape of that butt . nancy : did you see craig 's face when they paged him ? he hated leaving you . chloe : he does have a hospital to run . nancy : ha ha . he sure does . i 'm going to take this out to the nurses ' station . i 'll be right back . chloe : okay . brady : hey , speaking of running , i hate to leave , too , especially after the good news , but i promised my grandfather i 'd go to the symphony with him . it 's actually a fundraiser for keeping music in public schools , and i know how important that is to you , so i knew you would n't mind . chloe : of course not . brady : i really wish you could be there with me . chloe : me too . so what are they playing ? brady : schumann , i believe he said . chloe : great . will you call me later and tell me all about it ? brady : i 'll do better than that . i 'll come back here and tell you in person . chloe : hey , brady , have fun . brady : i am so happy right now . my god , i ca n't even believe it . chloe : me neither . brady : i love you so much . i really wish i did n't have to leave . chloe : just go , okay ? you do n't want to be late . brady : great news . i 'll be back . nancy : take care , brady . [ sighs ] sweetheart , what 's wrong ? nicole : now that all of you are here , we can get back to business . i was about to tell all of you how victor kiriakis treats his wife when no one else is around , and if you 're still interested ... ha ha . yes , i can tell you are . well , to begin with ... nicole : ha ha . never mind . get back to your drinks . enjoy the caviar . victor : and what was that little display all about ? nicole : i was going to tell everyone what a twisted bastard you are . victor : but you thought better of it . nicole : no , i was distracted by your little display . nicole : who is she ? victor : linda . ahem . linda , i 'd like you to meet my wife . linda browning , nicole kiriakis . linda : nicole , i 'm delighted . you have a beautiful home , and i ca n't wait to meet urur grandson after all you 've told me about him . victor : you wo n't have to wait long . brady 's on his way . linda : ha ha . great . lovely dress . nicole : thank you . linda : oh , there 's charles and edie . excuse me . nicole : ooh , you sly dog . she even resembles chloe . victor : i do n't know what you 're talking about . nicole : you 're going to use her as bait to lure brady away from chloe . tony : listen , thank you for the offer , but whatever i choose to do or choose not to do , i 'll do on my own . cassie : well , i 'd be the perfect partner in crime . tony : crime ? cassie : crime is too strong a word , i guess . it may not be illegal to steal another man 's wife , but it is n't right or good . tony : which is why i 'm surprised you 're all for it . cassie : well , right and wrong are all relative . i want you and mom to be together . that 's all that matters . tony : my , you certainly cut to the chase . cassie : yes , i do , do n't i ? now you cut to the chase . are you going to steal mom away from john ? rex : look , what do you want from me ? there are hundreds of oth g guys on campus . why do you even like me ? mimi : are you kidding ? have you looked in the mirror lately ? rex : so it 's like with gabi ortiz -- all about the looks ? mimi : no , it 's not , i swear . rex : then what ? mimi : ever since you first got here , you always seemed sort of alone . i mean , i know you 've got cassie , but even when you 're with her or other people , even now that you have your parents , when i look at you , you just still seem on your own somehow , and i understand that , because i 've always felt like that , too -- different . i mean , even though i 've got my family and my friends , part of me just never seems to fit in . i do n't like it . i 'm gusising you do n't like it , either . that 's why i 'm attracted to you , rex . i mean , sure , it helps that you 're gorgeous and smart , but what really matters is i think you understand . i just keep thinking that if we got together , neither one of us would have to be alone anymore . rex : you 're right . i do feel alone , and i do n't like it . but right now , that 's the way it has to be . mimi : no , it doesn't . you 're just scared . i 'm scared , too . all you have to do is just meet me halfway . not even halfway . just take one little step . rex : i can't . i 'm sorry . mimi : that 's just what i need for my self - esteem , which , by the way , was n't in tiptop shape to begin with . and now i get to feel like i 've been chasing after someone who 's been totally leading me on . so fine , from now on , you wo n't have to worry about me bothering you or interrupting ur precious experiments . you want to be alone , you got it . rex : mimi -- rex : the laser ! oh , god . icical peel , bo : what 's wrong ? hope : nothing . nothing at all . you just gave me a great idea . bo : about what you want to do ? hope : about what i want to do right now . bo : we 're working out . hope : yeah , but there 's working out and ... there 's working out . follow me . chloe : nothing 's wrong . the transplant was a success , and i 'm going home tomorrow . nancy : but you wish that , uh , you were going to the concert with brady and his grandfather . chloe : to listen to schumann ? no thanks . nancy : chloe , you love schumann . you 've played me cds of his music . chloe : yeah , i do love schumann . nancy : you just wish that brady had chose to stay here with you . chloe : no , it 's not that . it 's ... i ca n't believe i 'm worrying about this or anything else after hearing this amazing news . it 's , like , so petty and ungrateful . what 's wrong with me ? nancy : honey , there 's nothing wrong with you . yes , you got amazing news . we all did . but that does n't mean that you ca n't be upset or angry . you 're still human . you 're entitled to be angry or ungrateful . look ... i 'm your mother . you can tell me what you 're feeling , no matter what it is . i wo n't think it 's petty . i promise . chloe : well , brady going to this concert -- that does n't bother me . it 's who he 's going with . nancy : his grandfather ? chloe : yeah , brady 's been spending more and more time with victor lately , and soon , he 's going to work for him . nancy : well , what 's wrong with that ? chloe : victor hates me . you know that . he did n't think i was good enough for philip , and he certainly does n't want me with brady . nancy : well , that 's just his problem , is n't it ? sweetheart ... he is a damned fool if he does n't realize how lucky any young man would be to be with you . but victor 's lack of taste and intelligence notwithstanding , what does it matter ? brady makes his own decisions . chloe : i know that 's what he says , and i know that he loves me , but i ca n't shake it , nancy . i have this really awful feeling the more time that brady spends with his grandfather , the less time he 's going to spend with me . nicole : i 'm right , are n't i ? victor : not usually . nicole : well , in this case , definitely . this whole cocktail party is just a lame excuse to set up brady black and linda whoever - she - is . victor : i do n't set people up , nicole . if they happen to meet each other , then what 's the harm ? nicole : i knew it . victor : mm . here 's brady . brady : i 'm so sorry i 'm late . you know , rush hour traffic and everything . victor : you 're here . that 's all that matters . nicole : it certainly does . brady : listen , i 've got the greatest news . chloe just got her test results back , and the transplant worked . her blood counts are up . she gets to go home tomorrow . can you believe it ? v victor : that 's wonderful , brady . i 'm so happy for her , and for you . nicole : sure you are . brady : what 'd you say ? nicole : i said `` we both are . `` victor : nicole has developed a very unbecoming habit of mumbling . charles : victor , we need you here to settle a bet . victor : i 'll be right there . excuse me . brady : shrimp . i 'm starving . nicole : oh , first , brady , come with me . so you think , uh , victor 's really happy for you and chloe , do n't you ? brady : i know he is . nicole : guess again . you see that woman over there ? brady : what about her ? nicole : she 's your date . cassie : so , are you planning to steal mom away from john ? and if so , how do i help ? tony : you know , while i appreciate your desire to see me and marlena together , even if i did have a plan , i could not involve you in it . marlena is your mother . atat relationship has to be protected . cassie : but -- tony : now , there are no buts about it . [ footsteps ] tony : is that your brother ? yes , it is . why , rex . rex : hey , uh , sorry . i ca n't talk right now , dad . tony : yes , obviously , yes . rex : i 'll see you later . tony : no , no , no . i know what you 're up to , and you and i have to talk about it -- now . nancy : chloe , every parent 's first instinct is to protect their child at any cost from any perceived danger . of course , sometimes , those perceptions are n't always right , but -- chloe : are you taking victor 's side ? nancy : no , no , of course not , but i 'm just trying to understand . chloe : two minutes ago , you were calling him a damn fool . nancy : yes , i was , but that 's because you 're my daughter , and i 'm trying to be protective of you . i 'm at least trying to be a little fair about this . chloe : okay , i liked it better when you were just being plain judgmental . nancy : ha ha . okay , i will get back to that . sweetheart , you and i need to try to analyze this , okay ? there were certain incidents that ... well , between you and philip ... well , i understood why victor did n't want the two of you together . i - i felt the same way . chloe : what does that have to do with me and brady ? brady is n't philip . nancy : i know that , but if you 'll remember , i was n't too keen when he came on the scene . chloe : but you changed your mind about him , right ? nancy : yes , i did , because i got to know him . i got to see the two of you together , to see how happy you made each other . but victor has n't had that opportunity , has he ? has he seen the two of you together at all ? has he seen how happy you make each other ? chloe : no , i guess he hasn't . nancy : okay , then . that 's it . once victor does see how happy you two are together , then everything 's going to be all right . okay ? you just need to relax and know that everything is going to be all right . victor : well , i think that settles it . alall laugh ] victor : now , do n't forget , i want my 10 % . [ all laugh ] victor : grandpa , can i speak with you ? victor : what , brady ? brady : now , please . victor : excuse me . brady : what the hell is this all about ? is it true you 're trying to set me up with that woman ? victor : absolutely . you 're a perfect match . brady : i 've found my perfect match . her name is chloe lane . if you do n't like that -- victor : i 'm talking professionally , brady . she 's a major player in the music industry , and if your interest is in setting up the music division at titan , i thought maybe you might want to pick her brain . but if you do n't want the help , you 're certainly under no obligation to talk to miss browning . brady : b -- linda browning ? the linda browning ? victor : none other . brady : oh , my god . i - i read about her all the time . she 's huge . victor : i 'm sure you do , but , listen , you do n't have to talk to her . brady : no , no , i - i do want to talk to her . are you kidding ? rex : wait , dad . you know ? tony : your bank statements come to me . you 're spending money much too fast . rex : that 's it ? tony : well , having money does not give you the right to be irresponsible . rex : i know , but it 's -- tony : yes , we 're going to talk about your finances . rex : yeah , sure , whatever you want , dad . just not now . tony : no , no , no , we 're going to do it now . we 're going to go over your bank statements , and yours as well . rex : look , i definitely want to do this , and i swear i will , but right now , i have something i really , really have to take care of , okay ? immediately . tony : rex , wait a moment .

'cause i know that you did n't want any of this to happen as much as i did . you were hurting , and i just made it worse . and i am sorry , belle . i really am sorry that i was n't here , but i am now , and you have wanted to talk about this , so come on . here i am . let 's talk . please . belle : shawn -- shawn - d : you are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me in my life . you know that . i ca n't just let you walk away . and i want you to know i am not going to walk away , either . shawn - d : i 'm not gon na walk away , baby . i 'm not . 'cause i love you . john : so just tell me , lexie . is my wife sick ? lexie : the ct scan , mri , and blood work all came back negative . according to the test results , marlena is perfectly healthy . there is no medical reason that i know of to explain or excuse her violent behaviour . john : then why the hell ca n't she remember anything ? lexie : well , the psychiatrist who examined her believes that marlena definitely knows right from wrong , and that maybe the trauma of knowing how wrong she 's been has caused her to suppress those memories . but she definitely knew exactly what she was doing , john . john : no , no , no . bo : just as i suspected . lexie , how long till you can have her medical release papers in order ? lexie : i can have them for you within the hour . bo : great . hope : lexie , thank you . lexie : yeah . bo : hope , i need you to call prison transport , have them be here in 20 minutes . i 'm gon na arrange for her to be isolated . i do n't want her killing any other prisoners . hope : okay . john : stop ! marlena 's not going anywhere . you 're not taking her back to jail , because i wo n't let you !

[ cellular phone rings ] brady : dad , how is she ? john : marlena 's fine . the nurse gave her a sedative . she 's resting . brady : okay , good , so what happens next ? john : well , the police want to administer sodium pentathol to marlena . in the correct dosage , it can behave as a truth serum . brady : wh -- that 's crazy . they ca n't make her do that . john : do n't worry , son . marlena has to agree to it . i wo n't let her . brady : okay , good . well , just hang in there , dad . she 's going to make it through this . john : i hope so , son . brady : all right , well , i 'll be there as soon as i can . all right . nicole : what 's going on ? how 's marlena ? brady : well , my uncle bo is pushing her to take a truth serum . nicole : a truth serum ? man : here 's the murderer . bo : thank you , officer . step this way . marlena , is this the woman you saw with jan spears ? marlena : oh . that 's the one . it 's in my opinion this cheap whore is the one who killed your father victor . arrest her . bo : nicole kiriakis , you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used -- nicole : no ! ! no ! ! marlena : ha ha ha ha ! nicole : no ! they ca n't do that . brady : i know . that 's what i told my dad . nicole : we should get down to the hospital and support john . if we do n't , they might force that truth serum on marlena . [ scene_break ] hope : what do you think about the truth serum ? bo : marlena says she ... does n't remember murdering anybody . but john told us she admitted to all of the killings . if we can get her to admit that to us , we do n't need his testimony . we 'll have a very strong case and maybe some answers , too . i think this is the only way we can figure out what the hell happened here and put her behind bars for the rest of her miserable life .

is it the guilt ? because nick does not deserve -- gabi : another chance ? yes , actually , he does , because he could 've put the three of us away , but he did n't . sami : so what ? what are you saying ? do you feel like nick is holding you hostage ? gabi : no , i -- sami : because -- gabi : why do you always twist everything up ? the point is that nick is the one holding all of the cards . abigail : hi , gabi . gabi : hi , um -- sorry , i 'm late . abigail : oh , all right . see ya . sami : [ sighs ] hi . abigail : hi . so what did gabi mean when she said nick is holding all the cards ?

let him prove himself first ? do n't you wish you had done that with the worthless jerk that you were dating ? kate : oh , i have rattled your cage . ej : i thought that was your point . kate : so let 's negotiate . ej : negotiate . kate : how much are you going to offer me for that ? ej : you know how much that formula 's worth to countess wilhelmina . kate : yes . about as much as the formula that you stole from me . what ? ej : wrong answer . kate : okay . what 's in this thing ?

how do you think i felt when i heard that i 'd lost my little girl , hm ? victor : i was n't okay with it , in fact , it damn near killed me , literally . brady : what are you talking about ? victor : the stroke . i 'm convinced it was brought on by the terrible stress of making the decision that i had to make . brady : think it was stress , or do you think it was guilt ? victor : both . i never wanted to hurt you , brady . brady : i do n't believe that anymore . do n't -- do n't claim that you care about me , because i do n't think that you ever did . victor : that 's not true . brady : you know , right after i lost my baby -- or i thought that i had lost my baby -- you know what you did ? do you remember what you did ? you fired my ass . victor : i had to do that . brady : and you replaced me with xander . xander ! who i know that you could n't stand , and you made him ceo of the company . victor : i did n't have a choice . brady : what do you -- you keep saying that . what do you mean you did n't have a choice ? victor : it was the price that he demanded . brady : you -- that -- that was his pr -- his price for doing the baby switch , is that what you 're saying to me ? victor : yes . he had me over a barrel , and he knew it . it was the only way to protect maggie . maggie : you need to tell me what you 're hiding from me , will . you of all people know what it 's like to be in prison . isolated . alone . people on the outside try to protect you from anything upsetting . will : maggie , i -- i -- you 're right -- maggie : you know what , you have a daughter . how would you feel if people lied to you about arianna ? will : i -- i 'd feel terrible . maggie : i know sarah 's a grown woman , but she 's still my little girl . will : i -- i know that , i know . maggie : she was so happy , and she was so hopeful when she was here . she had her wedding dress on , and she was preparing for a life with xander and mickey . and now something is wrong with her , and everyone seems to know about it except for me . will : look , i -- i 'm not sure what julie was telling you -- maggie : okay , you know what , will , look . you went to prison for me . and i will forever be grateful for that . but if you do n't tell me the truth now , i 'll never forgive you . will : o -- okay , okay , okay . i 'll tell you . it 's about xander . allergies with nasal congestion make it feel impossible to breathe . julie : planning on adding breaking and entering to your long list of criminal activities ? why am i not surprised ? maggie : sarah , she was here , and then she left to get married . i could tell how much she loved xander , and how excited she is to be marrying him . will : you know , that must have been a bittersweet moment for you , knowing that you could n't be there . maggie : yeah . yes . so now i know something is wrong , so please , will , what happened ?

xander : we have a bond . i -- i did n't wan na see her suffer . kristen : oh , come on . the only person that loves maggie and would risk everything would be -- xander : what ? kristen : oh , my god . victor . he put you up to this , and do n't you dare -- do n't you dare deny it . i can see it all over your face . brady : how many times ? how many times are you gon na do this to me ? victor : it was n't about you , brady . brady : never is . never is . you always find a way to put me last , and funny enough , no matter what you do , i always come back to you . i 'm always here . victor : because we 're family . brady : do n't you cite that family crap with me . you know , when you had your stroke , you know where -- i was at the hospital . i came to see you , even though i was so angry with you i did n't wan na have anything to do with you . but i said hell , brady , he 's still your grandfather , so -- victor : and always will be . brady : no , no , i do n't think so , not anymore . victor : you do n't mean that . brady : do you know what my half - brother eric is doing right now ? he 's been up all night , and he is searching for sarah and my baby girl . he 's going through the worst time in his life . he just found out that his girl is gone . but he 's helping me out . you know why he 's doing that ? because he cares about me , grandad , because that 's -- that 's family . victor : maggie is my family , too . brady : does she know what you did ? victor : no , and you ca n't tell her . brady : [ scoffs ] victor : please . brady : no , i -- do n't worry about it . well , it might serve you right if i did , but i have bigger things to do , do n't i ? i have to get my family together , and i need to find my daughter . victor : brady -- brady : no , i 'm done , grandad . i do n't want you contacting me . i do n't want to see your face . we 're not family anymore . you 're dead to me . it 's starting to happen every day . chad : now , that was an excellent decision . li : well , it was n't an easy one . abigail : well , it should 've been . li : she did build a successful company from the ground up , whereas dimera enterprises was handed to you , chad . chad : i 'm not sure i would put it that way . li : i would . by all accounts , you were your father 's favorite . chad : okay , yeah , my -- i 've been fortunate . but through my family 's legacy , i mean , yeah , we 've had a lot of tragedy and missteps , but through it all , i 'm committed to prove that dimera can succeed and i 'm not just gon na create a profit , i 'm gon na do some good in the world . li : noble sentiments . ultimately , the proof will be in the bottom line . we 're with you , chad , but the leash is short . we 'll be watching . chad : i 'll do my best . gabi : this is my store , okay ? i have been locked out , and i 'm gon na get in by whatever means necessary . julie : you have a very broad interpretation of what belongs to you . gabi : oh , you 're talking about my husband 's heart . it still makes me very sick that it 's beating inside of your body . julie : because you ca n't blow it up anymore . i 'm alive , i 'm breathing . i 'm here whether you like it or not . gabi : well , if it were n't for me , you 'd be six feet under . to think i did that out of the kindness of my heart . julie : there 's no kindness in your heart , gabi . you belong in prison and you would be there if you had n't held everybody hostage over an innocent baby 's life . gabi : i saved that baby , just like i saved you , although i really wish i hadn't . julie : yeah , well , we all have regrets . i 'm here , i 'm not going anywhere . i 'm married to the most wonderful husband in the world . i have a family . i have friends that love me . what have you got , gabi ? gabi : shut your mouth . julie : or what ? gon na brain me with that pot metal daisy , sending yourself right back to prison ? i thought not . it 's over , gabi , and you know it . it 's all over . gabi : [ sighs ] will : i 'm sorry to have to tell you this , but right before they were about to get married , sarah changed her mind about xander . maggie : why ? will : i -- i -- maybe she came to her senses , and realized that he has done too many terrible things to commit to spending her entire life with him . maggie : but i thought she loved him enough to put aside all of her reservations she had about him , unless -- will : unless what ? maggie : unless he did something new . something that you 're not telling me . will : look , maggie , i know how you feel , okay ? i -- i went through the same thing when i was locked up . you 're trying to hold onto the outside world as hard as you can , but it 's slipping away . and i know that it 's killing you right now that sarah 's in pain and that you 're here and you ca n't be there for her . maggie : it is , and that 's why you need to tell me what happened . why did my daughter walk away from her wedding ? sarah : the man that i love did something awful . he lied to me . jeanne marie : [ speaks french ] sometimes they do stupid things , but i hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him , huh . sarah : i do n't know . some things are unforgivable . jeanne marie : i 'm very sorry to hear that . well , i will leave you now . sarah : well , thank you for stopping by . jeanne marie : wait . sarah : what ?

sonny : sami . sami : i called . i - i - i cleared it with will . i called , and i checked and i did n't just drop by . will : she -- she did . i - i - i forgot to tell you . that 's my bad . sami : but i can come back later , if this is n't -- sonny : no , that 's okay . it 's okay . sami : okay . i just want you to know that i -- i know i 'm not supposed to just drop by without calling , so i did , in fact , call . you know , because , well , sometimes i worry that people think i 'm pushy . [ both laugh ] sami : you 're laugh -- anyway , i 'm here to see gabi . i brought her something . is she here ? will : um , actually , she 's not right now . sami : okay , i can wait . will : [ clears throat ] she 's probably not gon na be back for a while . sami : she 's with nick , is n't she ? nick : so , i - i set up a meeting with that lawyer that i told you about to talk about the custody agreement . gabi : right now ? nick : yeah . oh , look . here he is . [ door closes ] aiden : nick ? nick : yeah . nick fallon . aiden : hey . nick : nice to meet you . this is gabriella hernandez , arianna 's mother . aiden : aiden jennings . i understand you got my name from abigail deveraux . nick : yes , she 's my cousin , and she said that you did an amazing job with jj 's case . aiden : well , that 's good to hear . nick : [ chuckles ] aiden : nick , if you 'd just excuse us , i think gabriella and i need to go over some things alone . gabi : no , i - i need -- i want nick to stay . paige : what 's wrong ? jj : nothing . [ sighs ] i heard that you 're leaving town this fall . stanford . how come you did n't tell me ? paige : i -- [ laughs ] literally just found out . i 'm still kind of reeling . jj : but you -- you accepted it ? you 're going to california . for the next four years . theresa : hey , i need to talk to you . anne : so you heard about daniel jonas 's hearing ? theresa : no , i have n't , actually . anne : it was a travesty of justice . yeah , guy comes back to work tomorrow . little slap on the wrist and no surgical proceedings for now . he gets to keep his job as a doctor . theresa : so this hearing , did anyone say anything about me ? debra : wait , do n't go . i 'm -- i 'm here . i 'm debra frazer , liam 's ex . are -- are you okay ? nicole : uh , i 'm sorry , it 's just you look so much like -- debra : like the woman that liam is currently obsessed with ? yeah , why am i not surprised ? daniel : jennifer , you 're scaring the hell out of me . what -- what is it ? just tell me . jennifer : this . so now that i know what is finally ... finally going on here , you and i need to have a very serious talk . sonny : okay , now , before you blow up again about nick and gabi , you need to see the one piece of good news in all of this . sami : there 's good news in this ? sonny : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . at least it 's out in the open that the two of them are together . sami : oh , because that makes a world of difference . will : actually , it kind of does . i told gabi that i want a formal custody agreement , so that way the three of us are n't walking on eggshells anymore . sami : [ sighs ] but will , as long as nick is in the picture , we 're not walking on eggshells , we 're walking on broken glass . i mean , for go -- sonny : i love your positive attitude . sami : listen , there 's actually something i need to tell you . will : god , i hate it when you have something to tell me . sami : look , i tried to talk to gabi and smooth things over , and it did n't go well . which is why i 'm here with a peace offering . i hate that i made things worse with gabi . i - i just see red when i hear nick fallon 's name , and i hate hearing her defend him . will : you 're not -- you 're not the only one . i mean , i brought up this custody thing even though i know -- i know how she reacted when i brought it up before ari was born . it pushes her buttons . sami : but with nick in the picture , we do n't need to worry about gabi 's buttons . you know what , sonny , i 'm gon na call your dad . maybe he can draw up some paperwork . will : um , actually , ej already offered to help us out with that . paige : of course i accepted it , jj . it 's one of the best universities in the country . jj : right , yeah , as opposed to salem u. i mean , what kind of dump is that if they 'll accept a loser like me ? paige : i never called you a loser . jj : well , your bff marybeth sure thinks so . paige : i make up my own mind about people . jj : yeah , you make up your own mind about a lot of things . anne : what a surprise . i 'm very upset , and we end up talking about you . theresa : damn straight we 're gon na talk about me . i have a lot on the line here , anne . anne : i already told you i kept your name out of things , so why are you still so worried ? liam : what 's that ? theresa : key to dr. dan 's apartment . look , you know exactly why i 'm worried , okay ? daniel hates me , he and jennifer blame me for everything that goes wrong with their lives . anne : i just told you , theresa , nothing went wrong for dr. dan . theresa : oh , no ? no ? you just said that he does n't have surgical privileges . anne : yet . he 's supposed to get them back in a month ! but you know what ? knowing how that guy steps in , i 'm sure he 'll have them back by the end of the damn day ! you know what ? why do n't you get it , theresa ? that guy could be found standing over a dead body with a smoking gun in his hand , and they would n't convict him . they would just erect a statue of him in horton square . next to a statue of jennifer horton , who is not a bitch just as much as he is not a drug addict . theresa : just keep it down , okay ? anne : let me tell you something , that guy should not be emptying bedpans , let alone performing surgery , but since all the fools on the board think he walks on water , well , then he 'll be back here tomorrow -- ow ! god ! theresa : sorry . look , i hate him as much as you do , okay ? but right now we need to talk about this in private , so we 're gon na go to your office right now . anne : you pinched me ! nicole : so you can see why i stared at you when i saw you . debra : right . well , i 'll tell you one thing . when it comes to liam , blondes do not have more fun . poor woman . nicole : so he has a thing for blondes ? debra : it 's more specific than that . i mean , you see how she and i look alike ? nicole : yeah . debra : well , her resemblance is actually a whole lot stronger to the first real love of liam 's life . sorry , not love . liam does n't love . it 's ... something else . nicole : you were n't the first ? debra : no . no , no . i was -- i was just one of the many attempts of , um , him trying to recreate the first time . nicole : oh , my god , now he 's focused on jennifer . obsessed with jennifer . well , that explains almost everything . daniel : jennifer , i - i never wrote this prescription for you , let alone had it filled . what do you think is going on here ? liam : here it comes , dr. j . kiss the lady good - bye . jennifer : it 's what i know is going on here . someone got in here ... and they set you up . aiden : well , it sounds as if you and the baby 's father have a living situation that works out for everyone . gives you both the maximum amount of time to spend with your daughter . gabi : and sonny , will 's husband , he 's arianna 's godfather , and he loves her very much . aiden : well , why do you think you need a lawyer ? gabi : well , will wants a formal legal agreement . aiden : just out of the blue ? gabi : i kind of mentioned that i was thinking about moving out a while back , and he said that it made him feel vulnerable . nick : so if he goes forward with the custody agreement , i think we need to make sure that gabi 's rights are protected . aiden : we . nick : you should tell him about will 's mom . she 's kind of the wild card in all of this . she pushed for a custody agreement a while back before the baby was born , and now it 's kind of come up again . tell him what she said to you the other day . gabi : she called me an unfit mother . aiden : and those were her exact words ? gabi : yeah . aiden : will 's mom is sami brady , right ? that was the woman who was on trial for murder last summer . sami : ej 's representing you . he , uh -- he did n't mention it to me , so ... will : mom , this is n't about you , okay ? sami : right , no . right , i -- of course . sorry . i just hate that i caused problems between you and gabi . will : so how did it end between you two ? sami : pretty much the same as always . not well . i mean , i tried to explain to gabi that , you know , we both love arianna , that we 're on the same side here . but it ended the same way it always ends with gabi . one step forward , two steps back . but that is because of nick . aiden : well , emotions run high with custody issues , and people say things that they should n't . let me ask you , before will brought up the legal agreement , did you get along with his mom ? nick : tell him . go ahead . gabi : well , when i was , um , when i was pregnant , she started yelling at me about a custody agreement , and she would n't stop , and i almost lost the baby . theresa : look , okay , you do n't like daniel or jennifer , i get it . could you please get over yourself and help me ? anne : wow , how nice to have such an understanding friend . theresa : anne , that key that i had made to dan 's apartment . no one else knows about it , do they ? anne : how many times do i have to say it ? no one knows . theresa : okay . all right . so no one knows about it , and i do n't have it anymore , so no one can accuse me of anything . i 'm good . anne : wait -- wait a minute . what do you mean , `` i do n't have it anymore `` ? w - what happened to it ? debra : but jennifer and your friend daniel , they worked things out ? she went back to him ? nicole : right . debra : yeah . liam does n't take well to women leaving him . especially when it 's for another man . nicole : and you know this from experience . debra : yeah , one that i never want to have again . nicole : what happened ? debra : i - it was like i told you , you know , he kind of swept me off my feet at first . he acted like the whole world revolved around me . we got married only after a few months . and then , i do n't know , here and there i started to realize that he was n't in love with me at all . he was -- he was trying to turn me into lindsay . that 's the first woman . she broke his heart , and he never got over it . anyway , the marriage went downhill pretty fast after that . i started to pull away , and i asked for a divorce . [ sighs ] he ... went crazy . literally crazy . i mean , like , scary crazy . nicole : oh , my god . he 's gone crazy all over again . jennifer : so the cleaning woman monica -- she said that she wanted to be so thorough , and she could n't keep the information to herself . so all of a sudden , you have a substitute cleaning woman who happens upon your stash ? are you kidding me , daniel ? she was a plant . someone got your key , came into this apartment , and planted pills , and then arranged for her to lead me to them . daniel : well , planting drugs in my kitchen is one thing , but how did they get the drugs in my system before the surgery ? that just -- jennifer : daniel , i have no idea , but i think it 's pretty obvious that whoever planted those pills figured out a way to drug something that you ingested . and then when you left for the hospital , they came back here and cleared out every bit of evidence . i mean , it terrifies me to think of how much planning went into all of this . daniel : okay . yeah . and how ... tell me , how did they get a dirty cleaning lady ? hmm ? how 'd they do that ? you know what ? it was a lot of planning for nothing , 'cause whoever did this -- they 're not getting away with it . jennifer : no , they 're not . sami : i 've been thinking about this a lot , will , thank you . i just -- i just think about how we keep saying that gabi is blind , right ? that we remember what nick has done , we see how creepy he is , but obviously she does n't . will : yeah . sami : but what if that 's not it ? you know ? what if she is n't blind ? what if she remembers everything ? what if she 's scared ? you know , she knows how cruel nick can be . she knows better than anyone how manipulative he can be . what if she feels like she has to go along with him ? gabi : mr. jennings , you do n't understand . i do n't want to be confrontational . i do n't want to keep arianna away from will . i 'm just afraid of what sami might tell will and sonny to do . nick : she 's engaged to ej dimera . will is a horton and a brady . his husband 's a kiriakis . gabi is up against some very powerful people . aiden : right . gabi , um ... what is your relationship with mr. fallon ? gabi : we 're friends . aiden : well , you said he had to be here at this meeting . gabi : well , we 're close friends . aiden : well , then that might be a very serious problem . paige : i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to upset you . jj : paige , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . okay , look , i did n't say congratulations . congratulations . paige : uh , thanks , but it kind of does n't feel like you mean it . jj : no , i - i do . i really do . it 's just -- [ sighs ] you 're gon na be gone for four years . i mean , in a couple of months you 're -- you 're gon na be gone for good . paige : do you think i 'm gon na get a big head , think i 'm better than everyone else ? jj : you are better and smarter than i am . paige : do n't say that . you are so musically talented . more than i could ever hope to be . jj : okay , look , i do n't -- i do n't think that you 're gon na get a big head . paige : well , then what is it that has you so pissed ? jj : you know , who cares what it is ? why the hell even talk about it ? what 's the point ? theresa : i got rid of that key a long time ago . anne : oh . oh , okay . so you 're obsessed over something you got rid of a long time ago . theresa : what can i say ? i 'm a little paranoid when it comes to daniel . okay ? i mean , you said it yourself . he gets away with murder . just -- i want to make sure that you did n't tell anyone about that key . anne : i told you i would n't , i told you i have n't . you do n't believe me ? debra : if what liam is doing now is anything like what he did to me , your -- your friend jennifer should be very , very afraid . nicole : what did he do to you ? debra : just stupid , mean , petty things at first . it got worse , though , when i started dating someone . the harassment . he , uh -- he would stage things so my new boyfriend and i would get into fights , talk about me to people i worked with , gossip about me . i thought that was bad . nicole : you mean there 's more ? debra : he used his access to pharmaceuticals to make everyone think that i was a drug addict . nicole : no . debra : i knew it was him . i ca n't prove it , but i know it was liam . nicole : debra , would you -- debra : no . no . i am not coming forward , so do n't even ask me . i have my life back . finally . you know , i ca n't -- i ca n't risk him coming after me again . he is more than capable of ruining my life , and he would enjoy doing it . he would . he -- he would find some weakness , some shred of something , and he will destroy anyone who gets in his way . oh , god . he has something on you , does n't he ? daniel : there are n't any security cameras in the building , so there 's no record of whoever might 've been coming or going . i 'm definitely getting the locks changed . jennifer : you know what i think ? i think we should keep the locks and get our own camera and catch this person red - handed . that 's what i think we should do . daniel : yeah , you wan na catch him red - handed ? jennifer : why are you smiling ? daniel : because of you . you 're so intent and determined . and you 're on my side . thank god you did n't fall for all of this . jennifer : of course i did n't . i know you . i may have doubted you in the past , but i was always wrong . i know your heart now , and you 're a good , honest man . daniel : i love you so much . jennifer : you know what i think ? i think all of these difficult times have been really good for us . i think that it has made our love even stronger and deeper . will : maybe you 're right . maybe gabi is scared of nick . but that does n't take away from the fact -- and believe me , i hate saying this -- does n't take away from the fact that she is attracted to him . sami : attracted to him -- ugh . sonny : it 's hard to believe that anyone would be attracted to nick , but will 's right . nick has this hold over gabi that no one else has . sami : [ sighs ] i mean , that girl is a mess . and nick , of all people , i mean , he has a criminal record . will : i guess he also does not have a daddy with great lawyers and a judge or two in his pocket . sami : do n't you ever -- and let me repeat , ever -- compare ej to nick . will : [ clears throat ] i just think that you should be a little more careful about attacking gabi for going out with some dumb guy . and that is not what i meant . sami : no , that is what you meant . i 'm standing here trying to help you , and you 're throwing my past in my face . sonny : oh , hey , you know what ? i think it 's time for neutral corners . i 'm gon na go check on ari , and i want you to get your mom a glass of water . will : [ scoffs ] sonny : and then you both can sit and think about how to change the subject . will : [ sighs ] i will go get you some water . sami : [ sighs ] will : i 'm sorry . sami : yeah , me too . me too . this is beautiful , by the way . please do n't tell me that adrienne gave it to you . i will kill myself . will : no , she definitely did not give it to us . sami : it 's lovely . i love the personal touch . i think it 's really sweet . who did give you this incredib -- oh , god . no . please , please , do n't tell me that this is fr -- will : oh , yeah , that 's -- that 's from nick . aiden : you were convicted of kidnapping and murder , mr. fallon . now , legally , that qualifies as a problem . nick : i paid for those crimes . aiden : yes , but we 're headed towards family court , and there are a lot of judges there that might not think four years was a sufficient penalty . nick : sounds like you do n't think four years is a sufficient penalty . aiden : but more to the point , they might have some serious reservations about someone with your background being part of that child 's life . nick : it wo n't come up . aiden : excuse me ? nick : you do n't bring it up , and i can guarantee you that will and his lawyer wo n't bring it up either . aiden : well , how could you be so sure of that ? nicole : i - i do n't think i 'm his target . debra : you 're asking questions about him . you 're trying to help your friends . that makes you his target . so listen to me , and listen good . do n't let your guard down . and do n't ever think that you have liam 's number . do whatever you have to do to protect yourself . daniel : okay , the locksmith 's coming right over , and now i am gon na get all my prescription records from my laptop , also from my office at the hospital . jennifer : okay , right now i am so glad that you are obsessive about record keeping . daniel : yeah , well , i know for a fact that i did n't write that . and i 'm pretty sure that i can prove it was faked . jennifer : okay , oh , maybe i should call hope and tell her about the cleaning lady . daniel : whoa , no , no , no . not -- not quite yet . no , i do n't want to pull hope or roman into this just yet . especially since theresa could be a part of this . jennifer : hm . daniel : i do n't want to make accusations until i can back them up . jennifer : okay , i just want to make sure that nothing else happens . daniel : hey , honey , honey , nothing else is gon na happen . we 're gon na get to the bottom of all of this , whether it 's theresa or someone else . right now we have ways of getting to the truth . [ typing ] liam : i 've lost her . forever . so now i have to decide what to do next . you know what you have to do . you do n't have a choice . you did it ! sami : well , i never said that nick was n't diabolical . will : he 's smart . and maybe -- sami : no . will horton , so help me god , if you say you think that he has changed , i will lose my mind . will : i would never , ever say that . i am only saying that maybe he 's trying . sami : we ca n't think like that . you can not get sucked into nick 's game the way that gabi is -- we have to keep our guard up here . sonny : sami , i do n't know what good that 's gon na do right now . you know ? gabi 's right . she knows that nick holds all the cards . you and kate threw him into a river and left him for dead , and will and i helped cover it up . he 's got evidence , a witness . sami : i know , okay , i know all of that , but i can tell you right now i 'm not gon na spend the rest of my life bowing and scraping to nick fallon 's every whim . will : sonny and i do n't want to do that either . but what choice do we have ? sami : well ... will : oh , god . sami : what ? will : that -- that look . when you get that look , that scares me . nick : let me assure you that i never would 've gotten involved in all this . i never would 've started over with gabi if i were n't 100 % sure that my past would not hurt her chances of maintaining custody with ari in any way , shape , or form . aiden : well , maybe you 're 100 % , but i got ta tell ya , if i was representing the father , things got contentious -- nick : well , you 're not representing the father . we 're hoping that you 'll represent gabi . aiden : right . well , based on everything you two have told me , i have some ideas about the best way to protect your interest , gabi . nick : great . we 're all ears . paige : what 's the point ? what 's that supposed to mean ? jj : it just seems a little ridiculous to be spending time together when you 're going to be leaving . paige : but that 's months from now . [ sighs ] and i 'd like to get to know you better . spend time together . and if we get to be better friends , we can skype while i 'm gone , and i 'll come back on vacations . but this conversation is kind of ridiculous . that 's all so far off . jj : right , so we both agree that it 's ridiculous . it 's pointless . 'cause we both know that that 's not gon na happen . i - i 'm done here . ' scuse me . debra : i know you 're not gon na tell me . liam does have something on you , does n't he ? nicole : is there anything you can do to help me ? debra : [ sighs ] take that as a yes . this is to our joint safety deposit box . liam does n't know that i still have a key . i , uh -- i kept it from when we were married . i - i check on him from time to time just to keep tabs on him . if liam does have something on you , it 's -- it 's probably in there . nicole : thank you . jennifer : okay , i 'm gon na call aunt maggie and just tell her i ca n't make it out to the cabin today , daniel . daniel : no . no , you do n't . no , there 's nothing more for you to do here . it 's beautiful there . just ... jennifer : if you 're sure , i -- daniel : okay , all right . i am sure . if you do n't meet those workmen , they 're gon na charge you for nothing , so you go , you get that water heater fixed , and you enjoy this lovely spring day . and you enjoy that this crap is gon na be all ... jennifer : ugh . daniel : over with . jennifer : yes , please . mm - hmm . daniel : right ? i got this . okay ? jennifer : all right . daniel : all right . jennifer : your phone . daniel : my phone , thank you , your purse . have a great time , day , love it .

[ both laugh ] victor : i sincerely hope you 're not jealous of kate because i 've told you over and over again , there 's no reason to be . maggie : i 'm not questioning your commitment to our marriage . but your judgment on the other hand ? victor : she cares about titan . maggie : kate cares about kate . i 'm warning you , victor , you 're letting the fox into the hen house . victor : i know who and what kate is . maggie : do you ? or do i need to remind you that she is the most deceitful , predatory witch that ever darkened your doorstep . victor : maggie -- maggie : kate roberts dimera has absolutely no regard for anyone but herself and her own selfish whims . she is a poison to this town . she deserves to die penniless and alone with her regrets . kate : [ clapping ] [ soft dramatic music ] kate : go ahead . do n't stop on my account . i think you were , what , `` predatory witch , `` were n't you ? maggie : my husband knows what i think of you . and most of salem agrees with me . victor : something i can do for you , kate ? kate : yes , contract details . luckily i had a second copy because brady tore up the one that i was working on . maggie : good for him . kate : you can go now , maggie . i 'm sure you have something to do -- baking cookies or poking your nose into other people 's business . maggie : well , i may not be a part of titan , but this is my family , and you 're a threat . kate : well , victor does n't think so . maggie : i 'm gon na keep an eye on you , kate . victor may have forgiven you , but i haven't . and i will never trust you . kate : well , that 's a shame because i am here to make titan successful again and to honor our son 's legacy . maggie : i do n't believe that for a second . you want something more , and it 's just gon na be a matter of time before i figure out what it is . gabi : i swear i thought brady just wanted to protect chloe . i never thought he wanted to do anything sneaky . you believe me , chloe , do n't you ? chloe : well , yeah , brady has lied to me before , so he 's certainly not above it . gabi : i never , ever thought he wanted to trick you . if that ever happened to me , i 'd be really upset as well . stefan : okay , gabi , you have your button . for the last time , go . gabi : well , you know , you told me you were gon na walk me out so we could finish our business discussion . stefan : fine . [ suspenseful music ] hey . thank you for not telling chloe we slept together . gabi : are you kidding me ? i do n't want anyone to know that we slept together . it 's humiliating . stefan : you did n't seem to mind it when we were in bed . gabi : neither did you . stefan : yeah , well , uh , it 's not happening again . gabi : damn right it 's not . like i said , we both needed to get that out of our system , and now that it 's gone , there 's nothing left between us , right ? stefan : right . gabi : chloe 's waiting for you . will : so if the tumor 's benign , what does that mean ? rex : well , no chemotherapy for starters . will : okay , that 's -- what about the symptoms i 've been experiencing ? rex : you mean the seizure ? sonny : well , and just now at the pub , will kind of had a -- like an angry outburst . sarah : you think that the tumor is starting to affect your behavior ? will : [ sighs ] yeah , and i do n't want that to keep happening . i do n't wan na snap in front of ari . rex : no , that 's totally understandable , but , as you know , i could n't remove the tumor in its entirety . it 's size and location -- it was just too risky , too dangerous . but we believe that we can shrink it . will : how ? sarah : well , that 's where it gets a bit tricky . not many things have the power that food has . will : `` tricky `` is not a word that i would prefer to hear when it comes to the tumor in my head . sarah : right , well , we have a lot of options as far as treatments . will : okay , what kind of options ? sarah : well , we 'll start with radiation , which i 'm sure you know is not exactly the most pleasant experience . sonny : and what are the side effects ? rex : fatigue , nausea , some patients complain of foggy brain , memory loss . will : well , i 've been there . is my hair gon na fall out ? rex : maybe , not necessarily . sonny : and then how will we know if the radiation is actually working . sarah : well , by monitoring the size of the tumor . rex : tumors grow differently and we 're hoping that yours is a slow growing one . will : okay , what if radiation does n't work ? sarah : well , let 's try it first before we talk about other treatment options . rex : yeah , guys , i know that this is a lot to take in all at once , but let 's focus on the fact that this was the best possible news that we could have received today . sarah : but you know what , we will give you a few minutes to process it . rex : yeah , you know what , let 's go for a walk . as soon as we come back , we can start setting appointments , okay ? will : that 's great . if you see my grandmother , can you give her the news ? rex : absolutely , guys . sarah : of course . sonny : well , i mean , you heard him . this is the best possible outcome we could hope for . will : right , yeah . i know . stefan : sorry . dealing with somebody as self - centered as gabi can be exhausting . chloe : i hear ya . stefan : if you ask me , the wrong hernandez got the bullet . chloe : stefan . stefan : was that out loud ? sorry . she just drives me crazy . gabi : do n't insult me again ! stefan : yeah ? what are you gon na do about it ? gabi : [ moaning ] stefan : anyway , why are we talking about gabi ? i want to know about you . how are you feeling ? chloe : i guess i 'm feeling much better . the police are keeping me in the loop , and they 've told me that hector 's cooperating and he even made a call to the cartel to tell them to leave me and the kids alone . stefan : oh , that 's fantastic . chloe : yeah , i mean , i do n't know if i 'm gon na believe it for a while , but it is good news , right ? stefan : yeah . good news for your safety and also for us i hope . chloe : us ? stefan : yeah , i mean , you said that once the threat of the cartel was over that we could pursue a relationship . chloe : i said that once the threat is over i would think about pursuing a relationship . stefan : okay , well , here we are , and the threat is gone . unless the cartel was an excuse ? i do n't know . brady has made it pretty clear he wants you back . am i competing with him ? brady : hey . gabi : you are the worst conspiracy partner i 've ever had , and i 've had a few lame ones . brady : okay , what 's your problem ? gabi : well , my problem is , you showed chloe the text that i sent you about her being at the park with holly . brady : it was an accident . holly took the phone actually . gabi : well that accident ? it almost blew up our plan . thank god that i convinced stefan and chloe you were just worried about her safety , but we really need to talk about what we 're gon na do after this 'cause i really need to know -- brady : gabi , gabi , gabi . the plan is -- the plan is off . gabi : the plan is what ? brady : plan is off . i 'm sorry , but chloe made it very clear to me that we are not gon na have a future together and it does n't really have to do with stefan , it has to do with the fact that i deceived her and she feels like she can never trust me again . gabi : oh , okay . i mean , what , you 're gon na let this go without a fight ? is that what you 're gon na do ? brady : no , no , i 've been fighting , and i 'm not getting anywhere . if she wants to have a relationship with stefan , she 's gon na do it . it 's her life . i 'm out . i mean , there 's nothing -- gabi : oh , hold on a second . brady : there 's nothing i can do about it . gabi : what about me ? brady , what about my revenge on stefan ? brady : it 's your problem now , gabi . gabi : oh , yeah , my problem ? the hell it is . you sold me on this plan . you convinced me that i could steal his company and make it my own , and now you leave me high and dry the day after ... brady : the day after what ? will : [ sighs ] i know in my head this is good news . i just wish there was like a magic potion i can inject in the tumor and make it go away . sonny : that 'd be nice , would n't it ? will : do n't you ever wonder when our lives are ever gon na be normal ? sonny : normal , here in salem ? i do n't think that 's ever gon na happen . but what we have is better than that . will : well , i 'm lucky to have you . sonny : you 're always gon na have me . will : really ? sonny : mm - hmm . will : even if my hair falls out and i scream at you for no reason ? sonny : yeah , i 'll get you a hat and me some ear plugs . will : i love you , sonny . sonny : i love you . and we 're gon na get through this the way we always do . together . [ soft music ] kate : i have to say that i am pleasantly surprised that you were okay with most of my red - line changes . victor : well , i 'm a very reasonable man . kate : [ chuckles ] yes , you can be at times . victor : i 'm just happy that you 're back at titan . kate : and i 'm happy to be back . may i borrow your pen , sir ? victor : it 's all yours . kate : it does feel like coming home . we were a great team . victor : when we were n't trying to murder each other . [ both laugh ] kate : bygones . victor , i have a really good feeling about this . it 's never too late to recapture the magic . chloe : trust me , brady and i do n't have a future . he used gabi to spy on me when i made it very clear that i ca n't be with someone that i do n't trust . stefan : you 're not gon na have that problem with me . chloe : call me crazy but i believe you . stefan : okay . crazy . so when i asked you on a date , you said that we would discuss it later , and ... yeah , according to my watch , it 's later . chloe : oh , is it ? stefan : yeah , it 's actually half past later to be exact . chloe : oh , okay , well in that case , i 'm very much looking forward to a date . stefan : really ? chloe : yeah .

[ scene_break ] lucas : i wonder what else lexie has to tell us . carrie : i do n't know . i 'm just glad that lump she found was benign . lucas : yeah , me too . do n't you think it was strange , though ? she was still kind of freaking out , even after she told us the good news . carrie : i guess it must be tough to get over a scare like that so quickly . listen , um , while we 're waiting , there 's something that i 've been wanting to look into . i 'll be right back . lucas : where you going ? carrie : the hospital nursery . i think i 'm gon na start volunteering there .. lucas : you know what ? that 's a great idea . it 'll give you good practice for when you 're a mom . carrie : something like that . i 'll be right back . [ scene_break ] eugenia : okay , i 'm sorry , but something still just does n't make sense here . lucas : what are you talking about ? eugenia : this whole thing with lexie . it 's just not her style to make such a big deal about it . lucas : well , it is a big deal , eugenia , at least it was . eugenia : no , i get that . i 'm just saying for her to make this big huge announcement in front of everyone . mnh - mnh . i mean , not unless she was gearing up for some sort of showdown . and i 'll give you one guess who 's gon na be on the receiving end . lucas : sami . [ scene_break ] sami : [ panting ] i thought so . alex : i was wondering when you 'd show up . sami : you are the emergency in 704 . what are you up to now ? alex : well , i think it 's time that we let lexie know who 's really in charge here , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] jennifer : i can not even believe that hope is with patrick . my gosh , if bo ever found out , he -- well , that 's okay . he ca n't find out . he ca n't . i 'm just gon na have to keep my mouth shut and not tell anyone . frankie : not even me ?

[ scene_break ] [ baby crying ] carrie : oh ! they 're amazing , are n't they ? they 're so tiny . oh , i never get tired of looking at them . nurse : well , that 's good because you 're gon na be seeing a lot of them volunteering here at the nursery . carrie : i ca n't wait . besides , it 'll be great practice . nurse : great practice ? carrie : i just got engaged , and i 'm hoping to be a mom one of these days .. scary thought , but i want to be prepared . nurse : well , something tells me you 'll be a natural . carrie : you really think so ? nurse : absolutely . i 'm sure you and your fiancé will be exceptional parents . carrie : thank you . [ scene_break ] abe : i just do n't understand it . lexie finds a lump , and she does n't tell me ? she shares it with all these other people . now , why the hell would she do that ? tek : i do n't know , abe . i 'm sure she 'll explain when she gets back . abe : yeah , she said that , but i ... tek : look , one thing i know is that she loves you . she would never do anything to purposely hurt you . abe : thank you . thank you , tek . tek : for what ? abe : for reminding me that this is n't about me . it 's about lexie . tek : look , i did n't mean -- abe : no , it 's okay . it 's okay . i know you and i have had our differences lately , but you 've always been there for my family , and i 'll never forget how you looked after lexie and theo when i was trapped on dimera 's island . and i 'm sure she wo n't either . you 've been a good friend to both of us . [ scene_break ] eugenia : well , we both know sami has messed with lexie before . lucas : yeah , and she got burned . eugenia : but sami never learns . i wonder what she did this time . [ scene_break ] lucas : i heard you talking to carrie . you gave her your famous speech that you 've changed . sami : yeah , so ? what 's wrong with that ? lucas : you only do that when you 've done something wrong . sami : i have n't done anything wrong . lucas : i hope not , 'cause if you do anything whatsoever to come between carrie and me -- sami : do n't worry about it . lucas : i do n't know what sami 's up to , but there 's one way to find out . sami : just give it up , okay , alex ? it 's over . we 're not gon na be able to change lexie 's mind . she 's gon na tell everyone everything anyway , so let 's just stop , okay ? it 's over . we 're finished . [ scene_break ] lexie : yes , you are . you know , i should have known the two of you were working together , that two of salem 's biggest snakes would find each other and try to stop me from outing them , but it 's useless . sami : look , lexie , please . why do you have to do this ? you have nothing to gain . abe is never gon na forgive you for cheating . lexie : we 'll find a way to work through this , sami . he will forgive me . look , i intend on doing what 's right from here on out , and that means that everyone , abe included , will know the truth . carrie , austin , and lucas will know about your betrayal , sami . and john and finally marlena will know what a monster you really are , alex . you 're both gon na lose everything . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] alex : only ... you 'll be the biggest loser of all . oh , yes , sami may lose austin , i may lose marlena , but you stand to lose your whole family . lexie : we 'll see about that . abe : my relationship with my wife has nothing to do with you or your trying to keep john and marlena apart . lexie : abe ... alex : it has everything to do with it , abe . i mean , if you were in my shoes , if another man was trying to steal lexie , would n't you do everything in your power to stop him ? abe : you 're damn right i would . if someone tried to take her away from me , i 'd want to kill him . [ scene_break ] jennifer : i did n't even hear you come in . frankie : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to sneak up on you . jennifer : no , that 's okay . i was just cleaning up , talking to myself . frankie : yeah , i heard . you have some secret you ca n't tell anyone . jennifer : hope called . yeah , she did n't want me to tell anyone where she is , so i promised her that i would n't . frankie : well , how 's she doing ? is she okay ? jennifer : she 's good . she 's , uh , okay . i could n't talk her out of the divorce . frankie : yeah , i just served bo with the papers , and it 's killing him . jennifer : my gosh , if the two of them would just sit down -- this is so frustrating . frankie : i told bo the same thing . i did . i said , `` do whatever it takes to track her down . `` and if i know my brother , he will . he 'll find a way .

[ sighs ] i had no idea who i was or my past . but there was a major connection there . and my heart stopped . they can take a human being and they can da lot of things to him , but they ca n't take away his love . i love you , and it is that simple . you are my life . sweetheart , you are the reason for me rising in the morning and laying down at night . oh , honey , we just are meant to be together , and i 'm so happy that we are . i love you . john : oh , my god . you 're remembering , are n't you ? you 're remembering our love , are n't you ? [ scene_break ] lexie : what the -- where did you get that tape ? alex : oh , i just so happened to tape - record a conversation i had with your husband . i thought it might interest you to hear his views on infidelity . abe : what you 're doing is wrong , north , and you know it . marlena does n't love you . she loves john . but you 've managed to manipulate her . you 've taken advantage of her amnesia to make her believe that you 're the one she belongs with . alex : that 's not true . i never had to manipulate her at all . the only reason she married john -- and roman , for that matter -- is because she had amnesia then . she could n't remember that she was already married and in love with me . now , i know that some men might still consider that a betrayal of sorts , but i do n't . abe : oh , that 's very big of you . alex : let me ask you something else , abe -- another hypothetical . if your wife ever betrayed you willingly and knowingly , could you forgive her ? abe : lexie would never cheat on me -- not now , not ever again . that 's one thing i do n't have to worry about . alex : of course not . but if she did , what would you do ? could you forgive her ? abe : no , i could n't forgive her . satisfied ? lexie and i have had our problems , but if she ever broke our vows again , that would be the end . i 'd be forced to leave her and take our son . she 'd have no place in our lives , just as you have no place in marlena 's . alex : so , what 's it going to be , dr . carver ? are you going to do the smart thing -- turn a blind eye and let samantha and me live happily ever after with the people we love ? or are you willing to risk losing your husband [ gasps mockingly ] and your little boy ? [ scene_break ] lucas : i 'll bet lexie was gon na say something pretty bad , but you just dodged another bullet , did n't you ? [ scene_break ] marlena : you 're abusive physically and psychologically , and now you 're drugging me , are n't you ?

[ scene_break ] stefano : fathers do not push their sons away . ej : then why do i feel this distance between us ? it was n't there before . stefano : well , perhaps it 's because i 'm so furious about ...

[ scene_break ] hope : i was afraid this would happen . ciara : what ? hope : well , my guess is that your friends at school have been talking about kristen and , well , people like talking about the dimeras . but sweetheart , let me explain something to you , okay , 'cause it 's very important . when people enjoy talking about the bad things someone 's done , that 's called gossiping , and it could really end up hurting someone . you understand that , do n't you , sweetheart ? ciara : but mommy , i was n't gossiping . my friends did n't tell me anything . hope : okay , i 'm sorry . then why were you asking about her ?

jennifer : okay , what is kate up to now ? lucas : no , no , no , no . you first . how come daniel went into surgery high as a kite ? daniel : i 'm waiting . theresa : you know , maybe you should swear off the meds , doc . you 're getting paranoid . daniel : could you stop creating human misery for five minutes and just tell me the truth ? liam : where did you get this key ? nicole : i do n't remember . liam : my ex - wife gave it to you , did n't she ? nicole : what ex - wife ? liam : oh , that bitch is gon na be sorry she did this . but i can deal with her later . first , i have to take care of you . nicole : how are you gon na take care of me ? liam : well , since you made it clear you 're not gon na abide by our little agreement , how do you think ? rafe : why do n't you just say what you want ? ben : you warned me not to hurt jordan . i assured you i would never do that . but now it seems you 're the one in a position to hurt her . rafe : i would never hurt your sister . not that it 's any of your business . ben : i will do everything it takes to protect her . rafe : so are you like this with every guy that comes into her life ? ben : she 's in deeper with you than i 've ever seen her with anyone . she says you 're a good guy . right now i 'm taking her word for it . rafe : yeah , i can tell . ben : if you 're not serious about her , you better back off . rafe : jordan , give me a call . i need to talk to you . ej : nice . nice work , mate . you deleted every contact you had with abigail . now even you ca n't pin down when you went to smith island . wait a second . it was when samantha went to chicago to supervise the photo shoot . dates and photographs . my whole bloody life is dates and photographs . yes , get me somebody in advertising . abigail : nick asked me for the name of the lawyer that represented jj in court . sonny : oh , do n't worry about it . abigail : well , if i caused trouble for will -- sonny : if nick had n't gotten the name from you , he would have found it somewhere else . abigail : he did swear to me that he 's not up to anything . sonny : and you 'd like to believe him . but i do n't believe a word that comes out of his lying mouth . if he has the chance , he 's gon na end up hurting gabi again and will . and i will not let that happen . sami : let me ask you one thing , nick . why are you torturing us ? nick : [ chuckles ] that 's funny coming from a woman who tried to murder me . sami : oh , i see . so all that talk about letting it go , that was just b.s . ? nick : no . no , it was n't . i tried . i really did . but then i think about how cold it was in that river . sami : what would gabi think if she knew about this conversation ? she keeps telling us that she 's giving you another chance because she really believes you 've changed . what if she knew you were threatening me ? nick : what threat ? i would n't dream of using what was done to me against you . or kate . or any of the people that knew what you did and kept quiet about it . sami : you would n't ? nick : no . as long as i get everything that i want . anne : why do you want to talk about theresa ? eric : 'cause i 'm worried about her . anne : why ? she 's a lovely girl and model employee , and i 'd say she has a very bright future . eric : listen , if you think you 're helping my cousin by covering for her , you 're wrong . anne : i am not covering for anyone . eric : what she did to daniel was a crime , and , that bright future you mentioned , she could end up spending it in prison . if there 's anything that you know about all that and you 're hiding it , you could end up being there with her . theresa : your reinstatement does n't take effect until tomorrow , which means you should n't even be in the building . so ... i 'm just gon na call security . daniel : i do n't know if i would do that if i were you . unless you want security to hear about your latest trick . theresa : what latest trick ? daniel : did it not occur to you that my son could have gotten hold of those pills ? or did you just not care that my little boy could have died . theresa : what are you talking about ? jennifer : daniel would never go into surgery high . he would never put his patients ' safety at risk , lucas . lucas : yeah , yeah , i agree . the drug thing does n't seem like daniel . but then again i never thought he 'd sleep with my fiancée behind my back , either . jennifer : okay , really ? you 're gon na go there ? i am not doing this -- lucas : is n't at least possible you do n't know this guy as well as you think you do . jennifer : do you know how sick and tired i am of hearing that ? lucas : why , jenn ? where else have you heard it ? liam : well , first i 'll tell your ex - priest boyfriend how you got rid of the evidence that could have cleared him . then i 'll tell your pal daniel what you did to his buddy . nicole : they 're not gon na believe a word you say to them . liam : well , you know , maybe you 're right . you 're such a good little liar . maybe you 've got them fooled . nicole : if you tell them anything about me , you 're just incriminating yourself too . liam : all you have on me is that you saw me in the hallway outside of jonas 's apartment the day he showed up to the o.r . high . but i have got way more than that on you . i have the actual documents you shredded and tried to burn . i can prove you knew some doctor who helped some broad named kristen drug the priest and feed him roofies . so even if dr. dan and the ex - priest do n't believe me , somebody else will . and it seems to be time to locate that somebody . would n't you agree ? nicole : all right . it 's clear we 're in a standoff here , okay . no one 's gon na take your word over mine , and i do n't have anything to tie you to what happened to daniel , so why do n't you just give me what i came here for , and we 'll go our separate ways , and we 'll pretend that we never saw each other . liam : you 're good , you know that ? nicole : thank you . liam : but not as good as me . you think i went to the trouble to paste those kristen papers back together , then left them there where my ex - wife could find 'em anytime she wanted to ? no , sweetheart . that stuff 's right here . nicole : you 're right . you 're good too . which suddenly seems kind of sexy . [ exclaims ] okay , you 're hurting me . liam : how dumb do you think i am ? clerk : everything okay in here ? lucas : who else thinks i 'm right about daniel ? jennifer : it does n't matter . that 's not what 's bothering me . lucas : then what is it ? look , you know what , just forget that i 'm the wronged guy here for a second and just remember that i 'm your little brother who cares about you . jennifer : no . someone got in here , and they set you up . i do n't care if you believe this or not , but i know it 's true . and someone is trying to do more than trash daniel 's reputation . they are trying to destroy him . lucas : okay , who is it ? anne : i resent the implication that you think i know anything about daniel jonas 's situation . you may be an ex - priest , but i am feeling very threatened at this moment . eric : yeah , well , i 'm just trying to get to the bottom of this . anne : theresa is your family . should n't you be showing her some loyalty . eric : well , her family made arrangements for her to move out here because she got into a lot of trouble in california . anne : mm - hmm . eric : she was surrounded by family , and she still overdosed . so i do n't think our support has done theresa much good . anne : so now you 're out to get her ? eric : no , i 'm trying to save her from herself . from the influence of friends like you . if you find that to be threatening , that works for me . daniel : do you hear me ? my son could have gotten a hold of those pills , and he could have died , so this is n't time for you to play dumb . and if you 've been telling yourself that you stashed those pills in a safe place , well , there is no safe place in an apartment with a four - year - old . why are n't you saying something ? anne : hey ! what the hell is going on in here ? liam : actually , we got what we needed , and my wife was just saying good - bye . is n't that right , honey ? nicole : uh , right . honey . sonny : hey , ben , can you handle a beer delivery ? the guy 's out back . ben : oh , sure thing . sonny : abigail . hey , i hope you did n't think i was going off on you before . i 'm really sorry . abigail : no , no , no , no , sonny , listen , if i did n't know the problems that nick has caused for will and gabi and for you , i would have to be blind . or stupid . or both . sonny : okay , thanks , i appreciate that . abigail : yeah , sure . sonny : oh , and , just so you know , ben , the guy that you were checking out , he thinks you 're hot too . ej : but you have n't had anybody to talk to about this , have you ? must be hard . abigail : it 's better than having anyone know what a fool i was . i would die , ej . no one -- no one would ever even look at me the same . ej : she would n't lie about that . but someone found out anyway . somebody who wanted something on me . someone -- [ phone rings ] ej : yes ? what , the 3rd of january ? you 're certain ? thank you . okay . well , i made sure nobody followed me . abigail took the ferry , so they must have followed her . somebody who knew why she was going to that island . somebody who was in salem on the 3rd of january . [ snapping fingers ] god , i better get to that person before they get to samantha . sami : here 's the thing , nick . i do n't think that blackmailing me is exactly the best way -- nick : blackmail ? wow . that 's very strong language . you throw a guy in the river , you leave him for dead , you do n't bat an eyelash , and you 're gon na turn around and question my actions ? that 's preposterous . sami : you think this is funny ? nick : no , i do n't think it 's funny at all . i do n't think it 's funny at all . what i am fighting for is a happy life with gabi , the same thing you want with ej . sami : [ scoffs ] nick : and just like you and ej , gabi and i have been through hell and back , and , through all of it , we have never changed the way that we felt about each other . i think you can understand better than anybody when i say that gabi and i are going to be together . and you want to know the craziest thing ? the craziest thing is that you are going to be the one to make sure that nothing comes between me and my dream . sami : i mean , you have to be realistic here , nick . if i start telling gabi that i 'm okay with the two of you being together , she 's gon na know something 's up . nick : that 's not what i 'm asking for . sami : then what are you asking for exactly ? nick : if this custody agreement goes to court , i want you to make sure that will 's lawyer does n't say one word about my past . sami : [ scoffs ] your past ? and of course that means your conviction for murder , right ? well , i 'm sorry , but i do n't have any control over what will 's lawyer is going to do or say . nick : oh , sure you do . you have amazing powers of persuasion . sami : so you expect me to convince a lawyer not to mention the fact that arianna 's mother 's boyfriend killed a guy ? nick : let me put this to you another way . okay , if will 's lawyer uses my past in order to get the advantage over gabi , you and ej and kate and will and sonny will be very , very sorry . you 'll all be lawyering up , but it wo n't matter . because the only way that you will see arianna is through a plexiglas window with a guard looking over your shoulder . thanks . i knew i could count on your help . ej : listen carefully . the ferry to smith island , okay ? waiting area , i want the surveillance footage . i want video and stills . 3rd of january after 4 : 00 . well , of course it 's difficult . if it was easy , i 'd bloody do it . then get creative . i do n't care . that 's what i pay you for . just get it done . how could that one stupid mistake ruin my bloody life ? ben : would you like a refill on your coffee ? abigail : uh , no , thanks . i think i 've had my fill of caffeine for the day . ben : how about some decaf ? abigail : uh ... ben : i 'm just trying to look busy so i can maybe get some more time . my shift 's only two hours today , and then i 'm off for the rest of the day . abigail : lucky for you , sonny is my cousin , so i can put in a good word if you want . ben : thanks , but i do n't want to rock the boat . i 'm just happy to have a job . abigail : where 'd you work before ? ben : you would n't know it . it 's not here in salem . but i was thinking , when i 'm finished , maybe we could go -- [ cell phone rings ] abigail : oh , you know what , i 'm so sorry . i have to get this , and i got to go , but , yeah , maybe i 'll see you around . bye . ben : nice . real smooth . anne : your friend brady black may have used his money and his clout to get you reinstated , but not until tomorrow , so get the hell out of my office . let 's go . [ door slams ] what the hell was going on in here ? theresa : someone planted a bottle of pills in his apartment . anne : well , someone clearly went a little too far . theresa : look , it was n't me . anne : everyone in this hospital knows that you and i are the only ones who hate daniel jonas . do n't you think you 're gon na pin this on me because i had nothing to do with it . theresa : neither did i ! anne : you 're the one who got herself a key to daniel 's apartment . who else could it be ? jennifer : i ca n't talk to you about this . lucas : why not ? jennifer : because you will use this against daniel . you will . lucas : fine . fine . you know what , i do n't have to do a thing . because from what i heard daniel 's doing a bang - up job destroying himself . jennifer : that is not what i want to hear from you right now . lucas : and maybe you do n't need me to wait with you for the repairman because you do n't need me for anything , do you ? you know what , jenn , all i want you to do -- all i want you to do is open your eyes . do the stats on this man . okay , you might think i 'm the bad guy here , but i 'm not . clerk : well , if you 're done here . liam : actually there 's something i forgot in the box , so if you 'll excuse me for a moment . nicole : he 's gon na do it . he 's gon na tell daniel or eric or someone , and he 's gon na ruin everything . unless i stop him first . [ cell phone rings ] nicole : i 'm sorry , my love . i ca n't talk right now . i 've got to get to someone . someone who can take care of liam once and for all . lucas : oh , hey . sonny ? ben : yeah , he 's right over there . lucas : oh , thanks , appreciate it . ben : no worries . lucas : hey . sonny : hey . lucas : how you doing ? i got your message . what 's up ? sonny : will 's home with arianna , but ... this is from both of us . lucas : really ? sonny : mm - hmm . lucas : you 're too much . i got ta tell you . `` your words meant the world to us . `` i do n't think anyone 's ever said that to me before . sonny : well , we mean it . lucas : thank you . really . sonny : you 're very welcome . lucas : so how 's married life so far ? everything you 'd hoped for ? sonny : that and a whole lot more . lucas : why , what 's wrong ? [ door slams ] sami : i wish that river had done its job and none of us had to deal with nick fallon ever again . ej : what now ? sami : will told me that nick is the one who convinced gabi to go along with the idea of a custody agreement . i should have known -- i should have known it was fishy . ej : okay , i take it you 've seen nick . sami : yeah . and it 's clear that he 's not given up . he 's gon na do whatever he can to take arianna away from will . abigail : hey . thanks for meeting me . nick : yeah , no problem . i do n't have that much time , but ... abigail : why not ? you have another meeting with gabi and that lawyer that you got for her with my help ? nick : [ scoffs ] theresa : you 're getting ready to hang me out to dry , i can tell it by your face . anne : there 's going to be an article about me in the hospital news magazine accompanied by photos . nothing is going to screw that up , least of all you . theresa : i 'm telling you , i got rid of that key a long time ago . anne : you know what , you need to not talk anymore , okay ? unless you want me to file a report about this new discovery i 've made . theresa : i think i 'm gon na go home . take a personal day . anne : that 's an excellent idea . nicole : hmm . oh , my god , thank god you 're here . rafe : well , yeah , i got your message . it sounded like freddy krueger had just broken in . nicole : oh , i do n't know why . i mean , i 'm fine . rafe : okay , so what 's the problem ? nicole : you want to give an investigative reporter a little help ? rafe : what kind of help ? nicole : okay , i 'm doing a story on this really bad guy who happens to be a sales rep for a pharmaceutical company . rafe : okay . i 'm interested . nicole : well , he sort of found out , and now he 's dug up some stuff on me , something that could really hurt me . rafe : right . but i ca n't help you unless you tell me what it is . daniel : oh , come on , jennifer . pick up . pick up . pick up . oh , the call got dropped . jennifer : hey . um , listen , i hope this wo n't take long . i really need to catch the next ferry back to salem . lucas : you and will are n't having problems already , are you ? sonny : no . no , no . we 're -- we 're good . we are better than ever . i should n't have led on that something was wrong . lucas : sonny , come on now , man , i 'm your father - in - law . you can talk to me about anything . i mean that . sonny : i do n't know about that . lucas : all right , then . let me guess . this is about good old cousin nick again , is n't it ? sami : nick hires her an attorney , and he thinks he gets to be in charge of how the custody agreement is going to go . and , by the way , thank you for telling me that you are will 's lawyer . ej : how did you find out about that ? sami : will told me . ej : would you prefer that he were represented by somebody else ? sami : no , of course not . i just -- well , yes , now . nick made it clear that i have to convince you not to mention his past in court . ej : oh , please , that 's absolutely ridiculous . i ca n't do that . i mean , there 's no way that william is going to approve of me saying that he likes nick 's relationship with gabriella . sami : no , of course not . but if you bring it up in court or if you mention the fact that he is a convicted murderer , he 's going to bring those photos to the judge , and he 's gon na get us all thrown in prison . and then that convicted murderer is gon na end up raising our granddaughter . ej : samantha , that is not going to happen . sami : how can you be so sure ? ej : well , for one because i do n't think gabriella is going to allow nick to do that to william . sami : gabi ? you ca n't possibly be counting on gabi . she does n't even know her own mind until nick tells it to her . face it : gabi is under nick 's thumb , which means so are we . abigail : when you asked me about that lawyer , you said that it did n't have anything to do with gabi , and i asked you straight up if it was about her , and you completely dodged the question . you said that you did n't want a lecture . nick : i ca n't talk about gabi 's personal business , not even with you . abigail : you 're in this custody thing up to your eyeballs , are n't you ? nick : who told you that ? abigail : oh , my god , nick . nick : what , sami ? sonny ? will 's dad ? one of the other zillion people who are backing will ? what about gabi ? gabi has nobody . abigail : she has rafe . nick : no , she does n't have rafe . rafe turned his back on her because she wants to be with me . and apparently you have too . jennifer : okay , so water heater is good to go ? yeah , but i need to let the water run out and then shut the valve off . jennifer : am i gon na miss the next ferry ? no , should n't take more than about ten minutes . jennifer : great .

daniel : yeah , yeah , jennifer and i thought we had it all figured out , but now ... i 'm not so sure . theresa : if it 's her or me , anne 's gon na give me up in a heartbeat . daniel already thinks that i 'm the one who did this , and -- god , that nut job liam . who knows what he 's gon na try next ? why did i give him that key ? i ca n't just sit around here waiting it for it to hit the fan , i ... that 's for sure . i have to do something . nicole : rafe ... you and i both know there 's plenty to dig up on me . do i really need to get into specifics ? rafe : okay . so what 's the guy 's name ? nicole : liam . liam frazer . rafe : so tell me , does this guy have something on you from your past ? nicole : let 's just say what he knows would kill eric . and eric 's already been through enough already , and i know i should have told him from the beginning , but it 's just not the kind of thing you want to bring up . rafe : why do n't you just drop the story and then the whole thing will go away ? nicole : i ca n't do that . i already pitched it to my producer , and he loved it . rafe : all right . okay . nicole : now i mean if this guy were to get busted before the story aired , then i 'm off the hook . rafe : right . and the guy that would be doing the busting ? that would be me , right ? ej : samantha . would you look at me , please ? nicholas fallon is bluffing . and it 's not going to work . sami : he has pictures of us throwing him in the river . ej : he is a pest . nothing more . if he becomes anything more than an irritant , he will be dealt with . sonny : i do n't know if you and i should be talking about nick . lucas : well , i do , because i know what he 's capable of . is he trying to threaten will ? the fact that he knows that will shot ej ? sonny : no . but he and gabi are looking like they 're about to get back together . lucas : what ? you 've got to be kidding me . what 's wrong with that woman ? is she out of her freaking mind ? sonny : all i know is there 's nothing we can do about it . and now will and gabi are about to work out legal custody of the baby . lucas : you think that nick could try to screw that up . sonny : i think he already started . lucas : well , he 's not gon na get anywhere . i 've been waiting a long time to see my son happy , and now that he is i 'm not gon na let nick fallon mess with that . boy , that little bastard better think again . nick : [ exhales ] okay . abigail : look , i 'm trying to not pick sides here , okay ? but you are making it so difficult for me , nick , because i know that you made will and sonny 's life miserable before . nick : oh , my god , seriously ? seriously ? i 'm so , so , so sick about hearing about poor will and poor sonny . everybody in my family , everybody in this town has these two guys up on some kind of pedestal . abigail : no , they do n't . nick : what about what i want ? what about i want ? what about my life ? does that not matter at all ? abigail : yes , it matters . of course it matters . it does , it 's just -- you 're in the middle of this custody thing , and it should be between gabi and will and nobody else . nick , it does n't have anything to do with you . it 's none of your business . nick : do n't you dare tell me what is and what is n't my business . ben : get the hell away from her . abigail : what ? whoa ! ben , wait . what are you doing ? theresa : come on , come on , come on , come on , come on , pick up , god . hey , mom . it 's me . no , i 'm okay . i - i 've just been thinking about how supportive you guys were when you came to visit me in salem , and i just really miss you a lot . i was wondering if maybe i could come home for a visit . like today . no , i checked . there 's actually a flight i can still get on . if that 's all right with you . eric : this must be about theresa . daniel : yeah . and then maybe more than theresa . eric : daniel , what do you mean ? daniel : i 'm beginning to wonder if i 'm missing something here . rafe : your friend frazer has quite the past . nicole : like what ? rafe : well , some of it 's sealed , but there are a couple of complaints against him . oh , yeah , look at that . several charges for domestic violence . ooh , stalking charge . nice . nicole : i told you , this guy 's scary . rafe : yeah , yeah , i see that . you know , the trouble is , there are n't any convictions . nicole : none ? rafe : no . it 's all been cleaned up . dropped . never went to trial . nicole : well , ca n't you bring him in for questioning or something ? rafe : yes , i could if it was a police state . nicole : there are innocent women who think this guy is a model citizen . rafe : i hear you , nicole , i do , but my hands are tied on this one . nicole : ca n't you call in a favor ?
