[ soft music ] [ lightly suspenseful music ] [ beep beep ] [ phone beeps ] kate : okay . you are aware that rex and sarah have set a date , right ? maggie : yes . and i certainly hope that my daughter comes to her senses before she makes the mistake of marrying your son , a serial cheater ... who obviously inherited his mother 's moral compass , or lack thereof . kate : i 'm not going to discuss my son with you . maggie : oh , please . we both know that sarah can do a hell of a lot better than rex . marlena : maybe we should back up . exactly what did eric tell you ? sarah : just ... how much he cares for me . but our conversation got cut short , so that 's where we left off . you were saying something about a promise to god . marlena : well ... we know how eric feels about his faith . he 's no longer a priest , but he 's still very devout . sarah : yeah . we 've talked about it . that promise to god ... i - i know it has to do with you when you were poisoned . but i 'm assuming ... it was a promise to not come between rex and me if god let you live ? marlena : mm . sarah : and how did you react ? marlena : well , i told him how moved i was by his willingness to do that . but it was really just ... ridiculous . sarah : ridiculous ? marlena : well , no , not -- not in terms of eric 's faith . just in terms of ... of making that sort of promise . anyway , that was the conversation you walked in on . sarah : and he was making you swear to never tell me about his real feelings for me . marlena : yeah , well , and i was hoping to honor that , but i 've got to tell you ... it 's just been killing me to think of eric ... well , not being with somebody he cares about so very deeply . sarah : and somebody , meaning me . marlena : yes , of course . of course meaning you . and i know it causes a lot of chaos to talk about this now , but ... i 'm just so glad that he 's talking about the depths of the feelings that he has . chloe : despite what brady 's told you , stefan has been nothing but wonderful to me . stefan : yeah , but are you sure you wan na get involved with a guy like that ? chloe : who said we 're involved ? eric : you know what , it 's none of my business , but i mean , after dealing with the cartel , what if they try to come after you again , or what if they try to hurt holly or parker or -- chloe : they -- they wo n't , okay ? the new d.a . , mr. laurent , he cut a deal with hector , that last cartel thug that they arrested , and he assured me that the threat to me and my children is over .

[ small laugh ] it is a - a lot . marlena : yes , it 's a lot . and it 's also very sudden . having said that , do you ... have any thoughts about what you might do ? maggie : oh , rex , i 'm sorry you heard that . rex : [ laughs ] no , you 're not . but it 's okay . kate : no , it 's not okay . rex : maggie , you 've made your feelings towards me very clear . you do n't like me , you do n't trust me , and you definitely do n't want me marrying your daughter . but look , i know that i have a very long way to go to prove to you and to sarah that i can be trusted . you were right about what you said before -- i am not good enough for her . but you know what ? no man is . i swear to you , i will spend the rest of my life loving her and honoring her and being the husband that she deserves . maggie : if you 're lucky enough to get the chance . both : [ laughs ] kate : well , sarah has already agreed to marry rex , so in my mind , she 's the lucky one . maggie : since when does pledging one 's eternal devotion to a notorious philanderer make a woman lucky ? kate : maggie , rex has just admitted that he made mistakes . he 's doing everything he possibly could do to improve the situation . rex : mom . kate : did you not hear anything he said ? rex : i totally got this . kate : you know , i know that it 's a challenge for you to keep your nose out of other people 's business , given all your idle time , but the last thing that a newlywed couple needs is an overbearing mother - in - law . maggie : and the last thing i need is a desperate , opportunistic shrew in my home . sarah 's not here , so would you do me a favor and escort your mother out ... quickly ? rex : i did n't come here to see sarah . i actually came here to see you . and i 'm really glad my mom 's here as well , because i have some really great news to share with the both of you . ted : well , unfortunately , that is the most current information i have on chloe and her children . well , i 'm sorry if you 're not satisfied , but i have other pressing business to attend to .

[ soft music ] chloe : no , nothing 's wrong . i was just surprised , really happy to find holly 's doll here . we 've been looking for it , and with all the moving around and shuffling around , i thought for sure we 'd lost it . stefan : well , she has other dolls , right ? chloe : yeah , she does , but one 's her favorite , and she 's been having nightmares lately and i was just worried that maybe she would n't be able to sleep at your place tonight without it . stefan : well , if you do n't think she 's gon na be okay , i -- chloe : oh , no , she 'll be fine . oh , your security guys just texted me and said that they picked up parker and holly and they 're headed to you right now . and i 'll be right behind them . i just have to take a quick shower and get dressed , and i 'll join you for dinner . okay , bye .

[ scene_break ] sami : um , you know what frustrates me the most about this whole situation is if we could just get rid of the evidence in the police station , then nick would n't have leverage on will . ej : right , then it would only matter what he said . he would n't be able to prove anything , and then we could just have a lawyer nullify the agreement . sami : exactly . but i ca n't ask my aunt hope or my dad to destroy the evidence for obvious reasons . ej : no , of course . absolutely not . sami : and you wo n't let me try again to do it myself . ej : no . sami : but it was so easy to get into the police station . i mean , just -- if there was the right person to do it . uh , okay . i 'm sorry . am i making it hard for you to concentrate on the game ? i apologize , stefano . i know this is -- it 's a game that requires concentration . it 's just frustrating , you know . i 'm his mother , and i ca n't stop thinking about the idea of him being kept from his child . stefano : i got it . sami : you do ? stefano : checkmate .

like if his name was michael or jason or andrew . answer me . eli : i do n't know . lani : well , i do . i care about this baby , eli because he is a precious little soul whose mother is incapable of raising him and he needs me right now and that breaks my heart . eli : he 's not your baby , lani , and all the wishing in the world is n't gon na make him so or bring our baby back . lani : you think i do n't know that ?

we 're all ears . brady : ah -- no . listen , i -- sonny called me , he told me what happened , i raced over here , and yeah , i found the knife just now . eli : how did you get past the uniforms ? brady : i came in through the back . i parked near the garage . i did n't even see a uniform . lani : they were told to wait for us to get here before they entered the crime scene . brady : lani , i did n't -- lani : you should n't touch this . brady : sorry , i know . i was n't thinking . my mistake . eli : do you still live here ? brady : no , not technically . no , i do n't -- i have n't lived here in a while , but i go in and out all the time . lani : did n't you have a falling out with your grandfather ? brady : i do n't know how that 's relevant , lani , but i had fallings out with my grandfather all the time , but i certainly did n't attack the guy . hold on . i did not -- i did not do this . eli : regardless , we 'll need to discuss this down at the station . i 'm bad . gabi : even with everything that you have been through and everything that you have seen , you -- you ca n't believe that maybe stefan could be alive ? will : listen , i -- i get why you 'd go there , but no , i ca n't believe it . gabi : why ? i mean , stefan was young , and fit . i mean , why could n't rolf have saved him , you know ? will : i -- well , from what i understand , stefan 's body was n't the issue , you know , it was his brain . gabi : yeah , that 's right . no , yeah , stefan -- stefan was braindead . and rolf told me that medically , he could never bring him back . will : i 'm sorry . gabi : thank you . you know , i do n't -- i do n't mean to whine , it 's just very unfair . you know , it 's very unfair because sonny got you back , you know , and -- and jennifer got jack , and chad even got abigail back after she faked her own death a couple years ago . what about me , huh ? do n't i deserve a happy ending , too ? hm ? jake : you 're saying i should n't speak to the owner ? ben : no . no , i would really appreciate it if you would . i 'm just saying i 'm surprised that you 'd offer since you do n't know anything about me . jake : you know your way around an engine . what more do i need to know ? ben : my past . it 's kinda -- it 's kinda complicated . it 's been a problem with other potential employers . i just wan na be transparent , that 's all , man , you know . i 'll give you references , a resume . whatever you need . jake : all right , look , ben , let 's be clear about one thing . this is about me , not you . i do n't care about your past . ben : oh . jake : yeah . ben : okay . jake : like i said , i got more work here than i can handle . you seem more than qualified for the job . that 's what you want , right ? to get paid to fix cars , motorcycles -- ben : yeah , yeah , absolutely . jake : then if i can make it happen , do you want a shot or not ? abigail : i told you to get your hands off of her . get -- get away from her . sonny : abigail , what are you talking about ? ciara : abigail , what is going on with you ? abigail : i 'm saving you , that 's what 's going on . i 'm saving you from ben . chad : stop , stop . abigail : he was trying to strangle her . chad : it 's not ben . it 's not ben . abigail : no , he was -- chad : it 's not ben . abigail : he -- but it -- chad : it 's not . abigail : no i -- okay , but he was right here . chad : he 's not . abigail : he was . yes . no , he was . he was right there . sonny : is everything okay ? chad : everything 's fine . it 's fine . we 're gon na get some -- we 're gon na figure it out . abigail : no , i know , but i 'm just saying he was -- chad : we 're gon na figure it out , she 's fine . abigail : he was trying to -- chad : she just needs to get some rest . come on , let 's go . it 's fine , she 's just a little stressed out . abigail : i 'm not stressed . chad : get back to work ! what are you doing ? brady : this is -- this is ridiculous . eli : take it easy . brady : i should n't even be here . i 'm innocent of this . kristen : hey , hey , wait . what is going on ? lani ? lani : kristen , what are you doing here ? kristen : well , i 'm waiting for news about my missing baby . lani : right . i 'm so sorry . kristen : why did you bring brady in ? brady : my grandfather was stabbed , kristen . he -- he was stabbed , and they found me with the knife , so they 're coming up with all these wrong conclusions . kristen : and you think brady did this ? i mean , you 're insane . brady would not stab victor . eli : how do you know that ? ben : of course i want a shot . i need a job . jake : good . like i said , no promises , but i 'll ask . i got a good feeling about you . ben : thank you , man . jake : yeah . i 'll be in touch . ben : it was jake , right ? jake : yep . not stefan . the hell kind of name is that anyway ? will : everybody deserves a happy ending . i really wish you got yours with stefan . gabi : i mean , i know i should be grateful . i mean , i have you and arianna and sonny . will : i bet you -- you wanted a family with your husband . and everybody 's just trying to wipe him away , you know , like he never even existed , and i 'm just trying to hang on . will : i 'm sorry that you 're missing him so much . you know what , if you 're convinced that you saw stefan , maybe there 's a logical explanation . gabi : [ gasps ] ye -- yeah ? yeah ? will : right ? yeah ? so , here 's -- you know , obviously , you know i was n't his biggest fan , but i know he loved you , and i know he made you feel safe . gabi : he did . will : so , okay , you 're going through so much right now , and maybe seeing stefan is kinda like a coping mechanism . right , you know , forget that . you wan na get spiritual , maybe it was a guardian angel . you know , you needed comfort and safety , and then stefan appeared . gabi : does -- does that make me a freak ? will : no . gabi , i mean , it makes you human . it 's beautiful . but you do n't always need to rely on a ghost , you know . not as long as i 'm here . thank you . will : come here . chad : i 'm sorry . abby 's in with the nurse now . sonny : what 's going on with her ? chad : i do n't know . we were at home , we were winding down for the night , and she started seeing ben , and she freaked out . ciara : wait , seeing ben ? chad : hallucinating . having flashbacks from when he terrorized her . ciara : yeah , but ben 's changed , chad , he 's not like that anymore . chad : i 'm not saying he is . sonny : why is she seeing ben all of a sudden ? is she having some kind of relapse ? chad : i do n't know . i , uh , i thought everything was fine , now that , you know , after her treatment for did , but -- there 's been no signs of trouble . ciara : so all this just came out of nowhere . chad : yeah , i wish i knew what was causing it . i don't . it 's driving me nuts . sonny : i 'm sorry , man , if there 's anything that you need -- chad : thank you . what are you guys doing here ? ciara : um , my grandfather -- chad : what about him ? sonny : he was stabbed . kristen : how can i be sure that brady did n't stab his grandfather ? i mean , what the hell kind of question is that ? brady : kristen , do n't get involved . kristen : no , i 'm going to get involved . i am . i know everything about this man . he 's kind , he 's loving , he 's gentle , and despite the history that they have together , he and victor -- that man , he is vile , he has no heart , he has no humanity , and he would never hurt him . brady : but i did . eli : what do you mean ? kristen : brady , do n't do this . brady : no , stop . i did it . i did it . i confess . i did it . i stabbed my grandfather . ciara : ben , i 'm so happy that you 're here . ben : i got your message . how 's victor ? ciara : he 's in surgery right now . oh , ben , i am so scared . ben : it 's all right . ciara : i 'm so scared . ben : it 's all right . i 'm right here . it 's okay . it 's okay . chad : kayla 's in surgery with victor . but the nurse is gon na find out who the doctor in charge is . they should be here soon . abigail : [ sighs ] what 's screaming at sonny , but she thought that she was seeing you . ben : [ sighs ] it would n't be the first time abigail hallucinated me . ciara : i do n't know . maybe she 's having some sort of relapse -- i -- i just -- whatever it is , i hope that she 's okay . ben : well , abigail is n't the only one who is seeing things tonight . ciara : what do you mean ? ben : brace yourself for this one . gabi : [ sighs ] come back my guardian angel . [ tense music ] eli : so you 're admitting that you stabbed victor kiriakis . kristen : brady . brady , please do n't do this . brady : no , it 's what happened . my grandfather was behind the baby switch , and he lead kristen and me to believe that our little girl had been dead for almost a year . and i think the two of you can understand how that might 've felt . eli : talk us through it . brady : what -- eli , we had a horrible fight , we -- in the heat of the moment , i stabbed him . that 's what happened . kristen : that 's not true . that 's not true . brady : it 's absolutely what happened , and please do n't try to dispute it , 'cause you know that that is what happened . what i want you to focus on is our little girl , okay ? i want you to make sure that you are there when rachel is found . you promise me that , okay ? you promise ? kristen : i promise . eli : let 's go . brady : all right . kristen : [ sobbing ] | gabi talked to will about seeing stefan . she told him rolf could have saved him . will did n't believe it . she was convinced that stefan is alive . she told him that rolf would n't tell her if stefan was alive . ben thought jake was stefan . jake said he was n't stefan . jake wanted ben to get the job . ben asked if he would give him the job . jake said he would talk to the boss . ben wanted to know why he would help him if he did n't know him . ciara asked sonny if eli and lani had any leads on who stabbed victor . sonny said they were going to check the mansion for clues . abby had a vision of ben . she thought she saw ben with ciara . abby told ben to get his hands off of ciara . it turned out to be sonny . brady was in the mansion while eli and lani were searching it . eli and lani questioned why brady was there . brady answered their questions , but they were still suspicious of his answers . |

[ scene_break ] jack : i have so many things that i wan na tell you . i feel like rip van winkle . i was locked up in that castle for so long and missed so much . abby : well , a lot of unbelievable things happened with us while you were gone , too . jack : like what ? abby : the red sox won the world series . jack : no ! get out , no ! abby : i 'm serious . jack : the cubs -- abby : and guess what else . jack : what ? [ scene_break ] hope : well , chelsea 's sound asleep , and bo and billie do n't seem to be anywhere in the hospital . i 'm getting a very bad feeling here . patrick : well , maybe they went out , you know , and grabbed a cup of coffee like we did . they 'll turn up . hope , i just wish you would stop worrying about you and bo . hope : so do i . patrick : you know , the whole time i was growing up all i remember hearing is that salem was famous for having all these great couples . hope : it 's not like we have a sign at the county line saying , `` welcome to salem , gateway to famous couples . `` patrick : yeah , i know this . i know . but i am telling you , hope , salem has a reputation . and you and bo are a big part of that . hope : some of us do have our names carved on a rooftop wall . and i guess some of us -- i guess there have been some great couples . i know my grandparents were one . tom and alice horton , john and marlena , steve and kayla , roman and marlena , jack and jen , my dad and julie . patrick : well , what made those couples so great ? hope : they stayed together , overcame everything the world threw at them , literally , till death . and even then i know that -- i know that my grandparents are always gon na be together -- for eternity . patrick : well , what about roman and marlena ? i mean , they did n't wind up together forever . hope : they were parted by death , in a way . you see , marlena was led to believe that roman was killed , and later , when marlena fell in love with john , they both believed that he was really roman . patrick : how was that possible ? hope : the dimeras . patrick : ah , mm , yeah . say no more . so , marlena married roman and john and had kids with both of them ? i mean , their lives must be really mixed up . it 's amazing they were able to stay friends through all of that . hope : you know what 's even harder to believe ? that bo and billie could stay friends even after everything she 's done to us over the years . and even harder for me to believe that he ever fell in love with her in the first place . patrick : all right . so much for trying to take your mind off of bo and billie . you know , chelsea 's stable . maybe they went home . why do n't you just give them a call and find out ? hope : good idea . [ scene_break ] bo : i want georgia to be alive , but hope is not wrong . every time we get one of these clues , we go running off and almost get ourselves killed . and it 's not like we 're coming up with these clues on our own . they 're being sent to us to lure us to places like this . you 're an i.s.a . agent , and you 're letting your emotions run you . you 're throwing your training , logic , and caution right out the window . you need to care enough about georgia to care about your own life , billie . billie : do n't talk to me about caring for our daughter . she could be lying in there bleeding to death right now . bo : am i talking to myself here ? [ scene_break ] mimi : belle , i know you 're upset , but i do n't think kate 's the one you 're really angry with . belle : are you defending her now , too ? mimi : no , you just have to kind of understand where she 's coming from . she 's just terrified for all of her sons -- just like you 're terrified for shawn , and john is for brady , and i am for rex . it does n't mean we 're not worried about everybody else . belle : kate is n't a bit worried about shawn . she would trade shawn 's life for philip 's in a heartbeat . i guess you 're right . i would n't care so much what kate thought if my dad was n't trying to make her a permanent part of my life . i mean , i know my dad is not trying to replace my mom -- no one ever could . just i miss her so much . i mean , dad and brady and sami and i -- we are all such a mess right now , and i know if she were here , it would all be different . but she 's gone , and i 'm never gon na see her again . [ scene_break ] roman : okay . i 'll thank shane for the jet . i 'm sure he 'll need some answers about tony and the castle , but i 'll tell him that he can get a full debriefing later . marlena : good . we 've wasted enough time here already . i am just so -- i just need to see john now . and my family , and i know you -- i know you wan na see kate . roman : yeah . okay , i 'll tell you what , i 'm gon na hurry , and i will be right back . marlena : do . do . oh , john . i ca n't wait to see you . john : ah , there you are . i 'll worship the day i do n't have to carry you around anymore . marlena : [ sobbing ] [ scene_break ] bo : hold it . hold it . whoever sent that sweater knows we 're probably on our way . the place is completely dark , so they could be lying in wait for us . we 're not gon na make the same mistake we made in europe . billie : so how do you want to do this ? bo : well , we 'll try to surprise 'em . on 3 . 1 , 2 . police ! clear . both : clear . bo : damn it . it 's empty . it 's obvious no one 's been here for quite some time . billie : let 's check up the stairs . bo : we 're not gon na find anything , billie . billie : you 're right . you 're right . georgia 's probably never even been here . she 's probably nowhere near salem . you know what , though ? i 'm not giving up . i am not giving up . we 're gon na search this place from top to bottom because somebody sent us here on purpose . this may be where we find our next clue to lead us to georgia . bo : okay . we 'll search , but no matter what happens , we keep our cool . we 'll search room to room , careful and slow .

oh , i hope i 'm not wrong about liam . maggie : nicole ? nicole : maggie , what are you doing here ? maggie : well , jennifer asked me -- nicole : where is she ? liam : how did i know about the pills ? hmm . jennifer : did you overhear something at the hospital ? because , liam , your discretion -- liam : i did n't overhear something at the hospital . [ scoffs ] what does it take to convince you ? my god ! i 've worked so hard to make everything just right . i thought when you found those pills , you 'd take care of telling the world who the real daniel is , but , no ! it 's like -- it 's like you still believe in him no matter what i do ! jennifer : you ? jordan : rafe , i thought you understood that when it comes to ben , i 'd rather not -- rafe : i 'm not gon na grill you , okay ? just wanted to let you know that ben and i talked . jordan : you did ? rafe : mm - hmm . he came to me . jordan : [ sighs ] rafe : to warn me . jordan : i 'm sorry . he can be sort of hotheaded . rafe : yeah . yeah , i got that . but it 's okay because i 'm pretty good at reading people and i can tell that he 's just concerned ... about you . nick : do n't you dare tell me what is and what is n't my business . ben : get the hell away from her ! you 're wrong , abigail . that guy 's trouble . maggie : jennifer is not here . nicole : well , do you know where she is or who she 's with ? maggie : nicole , are you okay ? nicole : no , i 'm not . jennifer : you planted those pills for me to find ? why would you do that ? liam : what was i supposed to do ? tell me . you threw me over for this guy . why ? how many times did he hurt you ? how many times did you say it was over for good ? do n't you know he 's gon na break your heart again ? jennifer : how could you do this to him ? you drugged him ! you could have killed him or one of his patients ! answer me ! why did you do that ? liam : i just wanted you to love me . do n't you understand ? you meant everything to me . marlena : this is ridiculous . you 're arianna 's father . will : gabi said that if you drew up the papers first , it would say the same thing . ej : oh , yes , it 's pretty standard . you always ask for more than you hope to get . will : so i was overreacting ? ej : i did n't say that . marlena : ej , i 'm not going anywhere . why do n't you say what 's on your mind with me sitting here ? ej : william , why do n't you tell me what else you overheard between gabi and her lawyer ? will : well , if you mean whether or not nick was there , of course he was . but gabi swears that he did n't have any say in any of this . ej : well , not in her presence he did n't . gabi : [ giggles ] nick : i 'd give anything to be alone with you right now . percy : greetings ! nick : percy . percy : i 'm so sorry to interrupt at an inopportune moment . i just need a few minutes of your time . nick : right now ? percy : mm . i have the final lab reports you need to sign off on before they can be sent to finance -- the ones that were due yesterday . nick : right , right , right , right . um ... i 'm so sorry . gabi : it 's okay . i understand that you have to do this , it 's important . nick : no , but i want you to know that you 're my priority . you 're more important than anything . jordan : ben was concerned ? i 'm fine . i 'm great . rafe : well , that 's great . see , that 's what i thought . but apparently while i 'm around , your brother is not so convinced . ben : you again . abigail : we were not finished . ben : i had to get back to work . abigail : fine . i 'll wait . nicole : maggie , can you please just tell me where jennifer is ? maggie : well , would you tell me what this is all about ? nicole : look , i know this is hard for you to believe , but jennifer and i are actually friends now . maggie : honestly , yes , it was a bit difficult . now , if you -- if you need to talk to jennifer , may i suggest the old - fashioned phone ? nicole : i did . just it would n't go through . maggie : i 'm sorry about that . well , i 'll leave her a message . nicole : no , no , you ca n't . look , this situation has nothing to do with you . i need to talk to jennifer and it has to be now . eric : what can i do to help ? daniel : oh , no , i do n't want to keep you from anything . eric : [ chuckles ] nicole 's working on a big story and jennifer 's out of the office . daniel : jennifer went to smith island to take care of a few things in the cabin . wish i could be with her , but , um , you know , i think a little peace and quiet might be just what she needs right now . jennifer : liam ... we had a few dates , yeah . liam : but we were having such a good time . you -- you kept saying so . you know , you said you 'd never go back to him and then , bam ! you were my last chance . you know that ? jennifer : your last chance ? no . liam -- liam : after what i went through with debra , i told myself -- told myself , `` three strikes and you 're out . `` jennifer : three strikes ? liam : well , before debra , i -- it was -- you know , it does n't matter . she 's the same . you 're all the same . when i met you , i thought things were finally turning around for me , you know ? i was gon na let go of , um ... all the , uh , uh , pain and ugliness . and then ... i did n't know what else to do . jennifer : okay . what did you do ? liam : well , i was so angry at you and at him . jennifer : right , and you 're the one who posted the comments and you sent out the photos . liam : i know , but it -- it -- it was stupid and it did n't get me anywhere and i did n't want to punish you . i just wanted you to see that daniel was n't the right guy for you . jennifer : okay , but i do n't understand , liam . liam : it 's your fault things got so out of hand . jennifer : wait . my fault ? i do n't understand why -- liam : look , it 's your blind faith that this guy walks on water . look , the checkbook , the protein drinks , the pills -- i had to keep upping the ante . do n't you see ? so you 'd see that daniel is the wrong guy for you . jennifer : liam , you came here because ... you know what you did was wrong . i can see that . that 's why you came out here , right ? and you 're in pain and you 're so afraid that it 's never gon na go away . but it can . it can go away . you just need to get the right help , okay ? and i can help you with that . you just want this to be over , right ? liam : yes . i want it to be over . abigail : any other work you think you can find to avoid talking to me ? ben : i 'm sure i can . abigail : you must think that you had some sort of justification for threatening nick like that . ben : i did n't threaten him . abigail : oh , really ? what would you call it then ? you literally scared him away . ben : he should have been scared , the way he was treating you . no guy should ever talk to a woman like that . abigail : i told you , ben , you misunderstood , okay ? he was just trying to make a point . ben : so was i . rafe : ben made sure i understood that he was n't gon na stand by and watch you get hurt . jordan , i just feel like i deserve to know where all this is coming from . jordan : well , where do you think it 's coming from ? rafe : i do n't know . jordan : it 's because i told him that i 'm in love with you . ej : well , of course we have no way of knowing what , if anything , nick may have said to gabi 's lawyer . will : behind her back . marlena : or whether he said anything at all . will : i 'm pretty sure he did . ej : okay . perspective is key here . you have to remember , we are just getting started . will : yeah . it can get a lot worse . ej : no , it wo n't . look , my job is to protect your interests , and that is exactly what i 'm going to do . nicholas fallon is not an issue . percy : thank you . i 'll let you get back to whatever you were ... discussing . nick : thanks . see ya , percy . hey . where 'd that smile go ? i know you 're worried about how things are gon na turn out . i 'm confident . things are gon na work out , all right , for you , for ari , and for us . trust me . eric : i wish i could be more helpful . daniel : running it with you helps . i know theresa 's involved in this . she can throw somebody else under the bus , which she 's all generally too happy to do . just a matter of prying it out of her . eric : [ exhales ] daniel : what ? eric : i just realized . i should have thought of this before , but i think i know what to do . nicole : once more . do you know where jennifer is ? yes or no ? maggie : yes . she went to the cabin on smith island . jennifer : liam , come on . come on , let 's just -- let 's go back on the ferry together , okay ? and we can -- we can just talk . we can get you the help that you need . that 's what you want , is n't it ? to just get past this and feel better about everything ? is n't that what you want ? liam : it 's too late for me . jennifer : no . liam : it 's too late for you too . jennifer : no , it 's -- [ gasps ] | nick and abby argued over will and sonny . while they were arguing , ben came to her rescue . rafe told nicole there was a way to make liam go away . nicole was relieved . when jennifer was about to leave the cabin , liam was there . he said he needed to see her and it could n't wait . will looked over gabi 's custody agreement and thought she was trying to take their daughter away from him . ej continued to investigate who knew about him and abby . rafe wanted nicole to tell him about liam . jennifer wanted liam to leave , but he did n't want to go . will and gabi argued over the custody agreement . nick walked away from abby and ben . rafe suggested that nicole be honest with eric and he would understand what she did . daniel and eric talked about theresa 's role in setting up daniel . |

[ monitor beeping ] [ monitor buzzing ] abe : theo , you can not wait around for ciara . theo : why not ? abe : she could be here all night . at this hour , it 's doubtful they 'll be able to squeeze in an arraignment . theo : well , i do n't care , dad . i 'm not leaving . kayla : theo , can you tell us what happened at the prom ? i mean , everybody 's pointing their finger at this kid , mark . was he really responsible for all this ? theo : totally . mark was jealous that ciara was with me and not him , so he had to find a way to hurt her . hope : how ? abe : go ahead . go ahead , theo , explain what happened . theo : all right . we were having a lot of fun and ciara looked beautiful , you know , and then me and her won king and queen . so we went up to get our crown and then something happened with the video and , i do n't know . people -- people were saying that it was a technical problem , but then a picture of chase and ciara came up . mark had a way to hack into the system . he ... accused ciara of ... being a party girl and a slut . abe : oh , man . oh , that 's terribly cruel . that 's -- you know , but whatever was done to provoke her , it does n't excuse the vandalism . theo : dad , i know that , but how is it fair that mark is getting away with what he did and my friends are spending the night in jail ? abe : we just have to have faith that the truth will come out and mark will be held accountable for what he did as well . but , you know , i 'm just grateful that you were n't involved . i 'm proud of you , son . theo : well , do n't be . the only reason i did n't go is because ciara did n't tell me . if i 'd have known , i 'd have been right by her side . [ telephone rings ] shawn : so , how do you think claire got dragged into this mess ? belle : i 'm not so sure she was `` dragged `` into it . would n't surprise me one bit if this was claire 's idea . shawn : what ? why would you -- why would you think that ? belle : listen , shawn , i know you like to think of her as daddy 's little girl , all innocent and sweet , but i think it 's time for you to adjust that pov just a little bit . shawn : really ? belle : yeah , really . your daughter has a rebellious streak , in case you have n't noticed . and she 's got quite a temper . i do n't know . i think here she was probably outraged on ciara 's behalf and encouraged her to even the score . shawn : oh , well , you know what ? i 'm -- i am so impressed that you seem to think that you know exactly what went on and why , given you were n't even there . belle : [ scoffs ] shawn : i mean , so why do n't you educate me a little bit more on the moral flaws of our daughter ? you know , the one that you ignored for so long . belle : oh , do n't you dare do that . i do not ignore claire . she 's the most important person in my life . if you 're insinuating that i had something to do with her behavior tonight ... [ scoffs ] you are , are n't you ? what , you think that if i would have been a more attentive mother that none of this would have happened ? [ scoffs ] admit it , shawn , you think this is my fault . kayla : i 'm gon na step out and call steve . hope : okay . abe : hope , look , i am sorry . i know this is difficult for you . hope : much more difficult for ciara . but i 'm so grateful that theo was there to stand up for her . he 's a great friend . abe : well , ciara and theo have had each other 's backs since they were little kids . hope : yeah , they have . abe : but times have changed since then . hope : what do you mean ? abe : you know , i know some people think i 'm ... overprotective of my son . including my son , some of the times , anyway . maybe i am . but he has no mother , and he obviously has to face some special challenges . hope : abe , you do n't have to make excuses for protecting your son . i 'm a single parent , too . i get it . abe : i 'm glad . look , you 're gon na have to understand when i tell you that i think theo has to focus on gaining confidence and figuring out how to navigate situations that for most of us are instinctive . hope : what are you trying to -- what are you trying to tell me ? abe : oh , i wish this were n't the case . i do n't think theo 's involvement with ciara is good for him , not at this time , anyway . so for now , at least , i think ... well , i think they should see less of each other . hope : [ stammering ] i do n't understand . what are you -- [ sighs ] [ indistinct ] hope : just say how theo and ciara have always had each other 's backs . now , you 're wanting them not to see each other anymore ? abe : look , i -- ciara has been a wonderful friend to theo . i 'm not refuting that . it 's -- look , we both know that theo has more invested in this friendship than ciara . i mean , more -- more expectations , i should say . i just do n't want him to get hurt . hope : well , he 'll be far more hurt if we tell him he ca n't see his best friend . who , by the way , made a deliberate choice to protect him tonight . abe : oh , i know . i appreciate that . i appreciate that . but if i do n't set some firm ground rules , the next time ciara gets in trouble theo will be right by her side . now , i can see that . ciara , too . why ca n't you ? ciara : god , jade ! jade : sorry , it was a roach . i 'm not sleeping in here with that thing crawling around . claire : do n't worry , ciara . it 's just our friendly neighborhood exterminator . you know , why do n't you come over and sit by me ? ciara : no . i can breathe better over here . claire : hey , look on the bright side . you know , at least we got back at that stupid jerk , mark , for what he did to you and theo . yeah , sure , our parents are mad , but they 'll get over it . and by this time tomorrow , our bail will be paid and we will be out of this hellhole . belle : do n't you dare make this about me . not that i 'm surprised . that is your default mo after all . shawn : [ laughs ] oh , this is familiar territory . belle : yes , and so much easier to make this about me than to deal with the real problem that our daughter is facing and , i do n't know , work to find a solution . shawn : look , you know what , belle , you 're right . it is our responsibility as parents to help guide our daughter to make the right choices in life so that she does n't , i do n't know , end up in jail , which just happened . belle : okay , i get it . so claire is in jail because i did n't guide her to make the right choices . wow , that is so obvious i ca n't believe i did n't see it . well , now that she is in jail because of my negligence as a parent , i 'm gon na do something wildly out of character and go see if there 's something i can do to help our daughter and her friends get out of jail ! hope : [ sighs ] shawn : hey . hope : it 's late . night court 's gon na be over soon . does n't look like the kids are gon na be arraigned after all tonight . shawn : i do n't know what else to do . maybe it might be good for them to spend the night behind bars . hope : hey , how did steve take the news ? kayla : i changed my mind . i did n't call him . i decided i need some time before i 'm ready to deal with his reaction calmly . listen , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry that this happened , especially for poor ciara . i mean , obviously , for you , too . hope : here i was so excited and happy for her that she decided to go to the prom . kayla : of course . it was supposed to be a fun night for them all . it 's just sad that it was ruined , especially for ciara . hope : for all of them . kayla : well , when joey gets home , i am going to kick his butt .

jennifer : no , i 'm not -- i 'm not -- i 'm not playing games , i promise you . i 'm not . you scared me , that 's all . if you would have just told me how much you cared about me in the first place , things would be so different . why do you think i was so attracted to you in the first place ? i know that you never would have treated me the way daniel treated me . because he slept with theresa to punish me . liam : but if you knew that , why did you go back to him ? jennifer : because i was wrong . i made a mistake . let me ... let me make it up to you . please . just put the gun down and let me show you how much i care about you . maxine : instead of ing organic pesticide , carl used weed killer . wiped out my mother 's knockout roses .

[ cell phone rings ] jordan : mm . oh . rafe : yours or mine ? jordan : oh , let 's see . oh , the hospital . rafe : oh , terrific . oh , look at that , my boss wants to see me too . jordan : well , you ca n't stand up abe . rafe : or a patient . jordan : so much for our lunch , huh ? rafe : rain check ? jordan : absolutely . rafe : mm . jordan : what ? rafe : i 'm really glad your brother came to town . jordan : [ laughs ] theresa : you missed me ? you chose a meeting with the hospital board over being with me . brady : no , no , i chose defending daniel . theresa : oh , oh , that makes me feel so much better . brady : maybe this will . i could n't get you out of my head . and clearing daniel 's name , for the record , means clearing yours as well . so technically , theresa , you could just stay right here in salem . because fleeing like this with all of your stuff looks like an admission of guilt . theresa : i already told you , brady , my mom is sick . brady : and if i ask caroline or kayla , they 'll back up your story , right ? you just admitted to me you 're running because you 're guilty . theresa : i 'm not . i 'm gon na miss my flight if i do n't get out of here right now . brady : you know , i spoke to daniel earlier before i came over . theresa : oh , yeah ? what lies is he telling about me now , hmm ? brady : he said someone planted prescription drugs in his apartment . theresa : and i already told him that it was n't me . brady : good , i 'm glad . i like you . i like you a lot . i do n't want you to leave . i hope you know that . i want to help you , but i ca n't help you if you run . the only way i can help you is if you stay here and be completely honest with me . what do you say ? eric : well , i just came from daniel 's . he was fine . maggie : well , that 's a relief . but now i have to wonder what had nicole so rattled . eric : i 'm sure she 's just worried about him , like all of us are . i feel like i owe daniel so much , and i 'm sure she does too . maggie : i think it was more than that . as i said , she was -- she was upset . eric : she did n't tell you anything ? maggie : well , i actually had the impression that it might be about you . okay . so the fact that you have no idea what i 'm talking about or what 's going on concerns me even more . [ sighs ] liam : jennifer . jordan : i need a coffee to get me through my shift and a minute of your full attention . ben : what 's up ? jordan : i talked to rafe . i told you not -- ben : look , i know what you told me , and maybe i was out of line , but just save the lecture , because i 've met my quota for the day . jordan : who else is lecturing you ? you 're supposed to be flying under the radar . ben : do n't worry . this girl does n't listen , so even if i did say anything -- jordan : girl ? ben : yes , a girl . but it 's nothing to worry about . at least i made sure of that today , so just -- let 's just drop it . jordan : okay , sure . ben : besides , it 's not like you came here to talk about that . you came here to read me the riot act about talking to rafe , so knock yourself out . eric : what did nicole say ? maggie : that she needed to see jennifer right away about something personal . [ cell phone rings ] eric : i have to go . maggie : is everything all right ? eric : yeah , listen , if you run into nicole or happen to see her , would you just let her know that i 'm looking for her ? maggie : of course . eric : okay , take care . maggie : bye . theresa : here 's the god 's honest truth , brady . i hate jennifer horton very much , and i think -- no , actually , i know -- that she 's a hypocritical , sanctimonious bitch . brady : tell me how you really feel , theresa . theresa : but if there 's one person that i hate more than her , it 's daniel . brady : why ? theresa : let me count the ways , but you -- you already knew all that . brady : uh - huh . tell me something i do n't know , then . theresa : okay . now , there 's a small part of me that wishes that i could take credit for what happened to him , but i had nothing to do with setting daniel up . brady : then why are you running ? theresa : read my lips . i did n't drug daniel . i did n't plant those pills in -- brady : then who did it ? theresa : i do n't know . [ cell phone rings ] brady : [ sighs ] theresa : what is it ? brady : i really tried , theresa , but looks like it 's too late for me to help you now . liam : lying bitch ! you did it again . you do n't get another chance . jennifer : [ gasps ] rafe : well , okay . i will check with my fbi guy and see what he can get us . abe : oh , good , i appreciate that . rafe , take an hour for lunch once in a while , why do n't you ? rafe : well , i had planned to , but my lunch date got called back to work . what 's your excuse ? abe : well , actually , maxine and i had a picnic with theo . it was -- it was a nice lunch . rafe : that 's great . this could 've waited . abe : oh , i learned many years ago the hospital waits for no man , so welcome to my club . [ loud typing ] maxine : you got a particular beef with my keyboard ? abigail : no . maxine : want to talk about it ? abigail : if you had just met someone , and then they got in the middle of something that they knew nothing about , but then they acted like they were doing you this huge favor , would that upset you ? maxine : that depends . abigail : on what ? maxine : on what the motivation was and whether they helped or hurt things . abigail : well , he thinks that he helped . maxine : it 's a he ? abigail : yes . i just -- i 'm so sick and tired of men thinking that i ca n't make any decisions for myself . maxine : is that what he said ? abigail : no , but i can take care of my own problems , you know ? not that i even had a problem . maxine : but he thought you did ? abigail : yeah . maxine : unless he caused the situation to be worse or caused some other trouble , i 'd be inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt , maybe even be grateful for his concern . so do you not like this guy ? abigail : no , he seemed nice enough , and i guess -- maxine : then i think maybe you should cut him some slack , huh ? victor : oh , there you are . i was starting to worry about you . maggie : oh , i was n't gone that long , was i ? victor : well , whenever you 're away from me , it seems like an eternity . i made reservations for us tonight in that new rooftop restaurant . nice views , dancing . maggie , are you okay ? maggie : victor , i just had the oddest conversation with eric brady . i got the feeling that he knew more than what he was saying . victor : about what ? maggie : daniel and the way that he was drugged at the hospital . ben : what did rafe say ? jordan : i 'm not disclosing anything private to you again ever . ben : look , i 'm sorry . i should n't have talked to rafe , but i was worried about you . jordan : well , do you feel better now ? ben : that depends on what he said to you . jordan : well , he said that he 's in love with me . so i guess i should thank you for butting in , but do n't do it again . ben : okay . jordan : really ? ben : he 'd be an idiot not to be in love with you . i 'm not just saying that because you 're my sister . jordan : wait , you 're not actually sounding glad for me right now , are you ? ben : what can i say ? rafe makes you happy , and if you 're happy , then i 'm happy . daniel : you know , you really outdid yourself this time . theresa : what did i do ? daniel : well , look what i found in my apartment . theresa : what is that ? daniel : oh , as if you do n't know . it 's a listening device . theresa : where would i even get something like that ? eric : theresa , what have you done ? theresa : oh , what is this , the inquisition ? daniel : all right , cut the crap ! brady -- brady has she told you anything ? brady : she keeps telling me she did n't do it , daniel . theresa : because i did n't . how many more times do i have to say it ? daniel : none , none , because i 'm done . this here , this bug can be traced . so i 'm going straight to your uncle roman , and guess where you 're going , guess . unless you tell me who you 're working with ! theresa : no one ! daniel : no one ? oh , that 's great , so it 's all you . thank you , that 's exactly what i wanted to hear . theresa : wait , wait , it was n't -- it was n't me , daniel . it was all him , okay ? jennifer : nicole . nicole : jennifer , come on . we got to get out of here . come on . jennifer : thank you so much . liam : it 's too late .

philip : you want to get married ? you 're kidding , right ? belle : no , let 's elope . we could go to vegas . we had such a good time when we were there before . philip : okay , belle , where is this coming from ? you -- you 're tired of being a single parent so you want to enlist a hand . belle : of course not . claire does n't have anything to do with this . philip : then what 's going on ? first you did n't want to commit , then you did . belle : [ scoffs ] philip : then you did n't , then you did . belle : okay , well , i 'm through being indecisive . philip : until you change your mind again . belle : would you stop ? i 'm not gon na change my mind . i want you and only you , forever . and you want that , too , right ? so ... marry me . philip : i 'm sorry , but the answer is no . nicole : hi . dario : mind if i join you ? nicole : join , please . [ laughs nervously ] dario : i 've been dying to know what you decided . about the con . nicole : oh . good question . um ... i said i 'd do it . but now i 'm wondering if i 'm making a huge mistake . dario : remember , you 've got ta be all in if you 're gon na do something . nicole : i am . i am . i 'm all in . it 's just ... the mark is already suspicious . he served 30 years for murder . i mean , he claims he 's innocent , but getting on this guy 's bad side , it -- it could be deadly , you know . deimos : i do n't need your forgiveness , you bastard ! helena 's death was your fault and yours alone ! [ breathes heavily ] as i said , i forgive you . of course it 's easy for me to be magnanimous now that i have all your money , all your power . you 've been rendered utterly irrelevant , impotent , pathetic . so why do n't you do yourself a favor and accept that fact that you 've been defeated . it 's time for you to roll over and die , old man . victor : never . dario : well , is it too late for you to back out ? nicole : unfortunately , my ally is at least as dangerous as my enemy . dario : and you went into this situation voluntarily ? nicole : i know , right ? dario : well , you ca n't run scared or you 'll be screwed . nicole : thank you . thank you , that makes me feel so much better . dario : have confidence . you 're good . you 're really good . nicole : how do you know ? dario : 'cause you 're smart , you 're beautiful , you 're successful . nicole : and i 'm blushing . dario : and on the bright side , it 's no fun if it 's not a challenge . nicole : fun ? wait , i must be doing something terribly wrong . am i supposed to get a rush out of this ? dario : i do n't like scamming people . i do what i have to to survive . but the art of the game is pretty damn beautiful . nicole : well , my game so far is pretty sad . dario : why ? nicole : because i let the mark think he was in control , and a few seconds after that he accused me of conning him . dario : and you said ? nicole : i admitted that i was offered to manipulate him and that i turned it down . and i let him make the next move . dario : really ? see , i told you , you 're a natural . now , just keep letting him think he 's playing you , so he wo n't even see it coming when you go in for the kill . brady : granddad . victor : thank you for coming so quickly . brady : philip said you had a setback . how do you feel ? victor : enraged . deimos paid me a visit . justin : how dare he come here . brady : do n't worry about it . we 'll put security guards outside your room . maggie 's too . victor : i do n't want him just kept out ; i want him destroyed . brady : all right , what can we do ? justin : you 've heard about uncle vic 's grand plan . nicole is going to seduce deimos into marrying her and then she 's going to swindle him out of everything he stole . brady : yes , i know about the plan , and i think it 's a horrible idea . victor : the train has left the station . my only concern now is ... she does n't have enough time to make the necessary inroads . brady : grandfather , my concern is that nicole is going to be hurt , maybe worse . victor : it was her decision . brady : it was her decision . are you kidding me ? are you kidding me with this ? justin : all right , look , look , look , brady and i both agree that we need a better plan . and i think i have one . philip : do n't be upset . belle : i 'm not . you 're right . it was a stupid idea . philip : it was not . do you know how hard it was for me to say no ? i do want to marry you , but it has to be for the right reasons . belle : i love you . you love me . we want to spend our lives together . what 's a better reason than that ? philip : [ clears throat ] claire got arrested , you and shawn had a huge fight , you come over here all emotional , and -- in the light of day , you might not feel the same way . belle : that argument with shawn made me realize that i have -- [ sighs ] i have wasted so much of my life on him , taking the blame for everything , feeling ignored , feeling totally worthless . philip , i could have spent all of that time with you , and i wish i had . i just do n't want to waste any more time . philip : then do n't act like it does n't hurt . you believe what you 're saying . i know you do . i also know you too well . you do n't want to get married because you 're suddenly convinced that you want to spend the rest of our lives together . you want to get married so you do n't have to think about how much you miss shawn . nicole : you know , you keep coming along at just the right time . dario : lucky you . [ laughter ] nicole : yeah . dario : but i can only be so helpful if you do n't trust me with the deets . nicole : i told you , i just do n't want to put you in a bad position . dario : bartender 's oath . remember ? discretion always . nicole : thank you . dario : so come on , spill . nicole : okay .

rafe : what are you talking about ? chad : abby 's in the hospital right now after suffering severe hallucinations . gabi : oh , okay , so abigail 's gone crazy again and it 's my fault ? typical , of course ! chad , let me remind you , your wife is a nutcase , okay ? she always will be ! chad : and she 's not insane ! she was drugged ! gabi : well , it was n't me . rafe : why do you think that gabi did it ? chad : do you want me to run down the list for you ? how many times has she made a fool of you by looking into your eyes and telling you she swears she did n't do anything wrong ? gabi : i didn't . you 're insane . chad : i 'm insane ? rafe : all right . gabi : shut your mouth ! rafe : every -- enough . chad , i see you 're upset . i see that but you still have not explained to me why you think abigail was drugged . chad : hallucinogenic drugs were found in my wife 's system . there 's the proof . allergies with nasal congestion make it feel impossible to breathe . i will call you when i whole world . orpheus : well , if it is n't my two favorite people in the whole world . what are we talking about ? zoey : nothing , dad . well , i need to get back to work . i will call you when i know something . evan : zoey , thank you . orpheus : your sister putting pressure on you ? evan : pressure ? orpheus : to tell her everything that might be used against our family in court . i know how her mind works . evan : she 's just trying to be a good lawyer . zoey 's doing everything that she can to get my son back to me . orpheus : and i 'm not ? evan : i know you are , dad . orpheus : as a matter of fact , i may have , uh , made some progress in that regard . evan : really ? orpheus : yeah , i 've laid the groundwork to turn some old enemies into potential allies . a new dynamic that may end up benefiting us all . marlena : well , if it were up to me , i 'd never have anything to do with that sick son of a bitch again . john : well , doc , you know what they say . got ta keep your enemies closer sometimes . marlena : well , then , they have n't met orpheus . so you 're not really thinking of accepting his help with brady , are you ? john : oh , no , of course not . i do n't think he 'd give it anyway . marlena : then why are you humoring him ? john : well , i 'm thinking it might be smart to play along , let him think that i 'm desperate enough , take him up on his proposition . might just be the easiest way to figure out what he 's really up to . jack : where is he ? what did chad think he was gon na do ? abigail : i do n't know , but i know that he 's gon na be back soon and he 's gon na have answers . jack : well , you -- you certainly have a lot of faith in him . abigail : chad and i , we 've been through a lot . we 've struggled a lot more than most couples , but i know chad 's heart and i know that ultimately he 'd do anything for me . jack : well , you 're very fortunate to have someone like that in your life . abigail : yeah , i am . i mean , that gives me the strength that i need to face anything -- any obstacles that come our way , even gabi . rafe : well , it , uh , unfortunately does appear as though abigail was drugged but by no means does that prove that gabi did it . chad : right before abby had her first hallucination at julie 's , gabi came in to confront us . blamed us for her losing her job . gabi : well , because it 's your fault . rafe : gabi -- chad : and while she was lashing out , she grabbed a champagne bottle to fill her glass . abigail 's glass was obviously spiked . gabi : well , yeah , but not by me , it wasn't . rafe : you have proof that she put a drug in abigail 's drink ? chad : i just told you that she had the opportunity while she was distracting us to spike her drink . rafe : i 'm gon na need more , chad . chad : why ? she 's done it before . she -- she drugged my wife into thinking that she was insane before . gabi : so what ? that does n't -- why would i do it now ? why now , hmm ? chad : because you 're upset that i got the ceo position and you finally got what you deserve . rafe : okay , i -- chad , i promise you that i will look into this , but at this moment , there 's no way that i can charge her for a crime . chad : [ chuckles ] i should have known that you were gon na protect your sister . you better do your job now or i 'm gon na do it for you . gabi : whoo , i 'm beginning to wonder which one of them is crazier . rafe : gabi -- gabi : i mean , well , abigail is certifiable and chad was just turned into a psychotic robot by his psychotic father so i do n't know . well , thank you for backing me up there . rafe : gabi . gabi : what ? rafe : he 's gone now . so i have to ask . did you do it ? did you drug abigail ? gabi : of course i didn't . rafe : swear to me on arianna 's life . you probably think all pads are the same gabi : you want me to swear on my daughter 's life ? how could you ask me to do that ? rafe : if you 're innocent , you should n't have a problem with it . [ door opening ] zoey : hello , commissioner . i just came from the courthouse . rafe : yeah , sorry . we 're in the middle of something . gabi : no , we 're done . we 're -- we 're good . thank you , rafe . rafe : gabi -- gabi : no , really . rafe : gabi -- gabi : bye , rafe . thank you very much for your support . zoey : good . we 're alone now . rafe : yeah . yeah , now 's really not a good time . zoey : oh , you 're gon na want to hear this . it concerns you and david . rafe : [ clears throat ] okay . what about us ? zoey : well , your restraining order to keep my father and brother from seeing him was just tossed out by the judge . rafe : what ? zoey : so it seems you have no choice but to allow for visitation so your lawyer and i will work out the details . rafe : it 's not right . that is not right . that 's putting him in danger . zoey : we 're his family . rafe : his family ? zoey : mm - hmm . rafe : oh . you know i 'm not gon na stop protecting him . zoey : [ scoffs ] face it , commissioner . you lost that round and if i were you , i 'd prepare to lose the next one , too . rafe : hmm . zoey : look forward to seeing you in court where i 'm planning on being awarded custody of my nephew . rafe : yeah . hey , good luck . zoey : oh , good luck to you . kayla : well , there you are . ready to be released ? steve : yeah . kayla : have to sign here and , uh , you 're a free man . steve : free man . there you go . kayla : thank you . uh , do you know where you 're gon na be staying ? the kids -- kids wan na know . steve : as a matter of fact , um , hope invited me to stay with her . so that 's where i 'll be . kayla : really ? hope : he did n't have anywhere else to go , kay . kayla : that 's really very generous of you . well , i 'll let the kids know , then . steve : no , that 's all right . do n't worry about it . i 'll -- i 'll be in touch with them . kayla : sure . steve : well , uh , thanks , kayla . thanks for everything . kayla : of course . steve : i 'll see you around . kayla : see you around . steve : let 's go . hope : okay .

tony : oh , absolutely . this arrangement 's going to produce enormous profits for both of us . man : i certainly hope so . tony : so , shall we have a celebratory drink to seal the deal ? man : sounds good to me . tony : come with me . i 'm going to introduce you to some of my special desserts . óovg eugenia : how do you figure the baby will be hurt ? i mean , what the hell does a baby care who its father is ? sami : do n't you get it ? abe is going to freak out if he finds out that lexie and brandon slept together . look , he has forgiven her for a lot of things , but he would not be able to forgive her for that . abe and lexie 's marriage would go down the tubes . eugenia : so you 're worried that brandon 's going to dump you and get together with lexie ? sami : brandon does n't love lexie , and lexie does n't love brandon , so it 's not like they 're all going to live happily ever after if he drops me . all that 's going to happen is that kid is going to wind up in a really messed - up family like i was , and look how i turned out . is that really the kind of future you want for this baby ? eugenia : hey , you lost me , sami . sami : do n't you remember how lexie went all froot loops when she had to give up her adopted son to hope and bo brady ? eugenia : mm . isaac . sami : and he was n't even her biological child . if brandon finds out that he 's the father of that baby , he could move for custody , and lexie -- it 'll put her in a straitjacket , okay ? so now the kid 's going to wind up being raised in a broken home with parents who hate each other and his mom in a nut house . look , you have to think like the family court judge . what is best for this child ? this baby 's future is in your hands -- both our hands . we 're in this together , remember ? you 're the one who gave me lexie 's paternity tests , so if i changed the results , it was on your watch . you 're responsible , just like you 'd be responsible for destroying this baby 's chance at a happy and normal life . think it over . sami : well , where did brandon go ? brandon : i know i 'm not the father of lexie 's baby . well , you know what we srere , what bonds me to him ... and that 's why i want him to have all the things that i never got . everyone in salem thinks abe carver is some kind of superhero ... but i know what he really is . lexie : whew . abe : it 's okay . you know , if our son is determined to be born tonight , he 's strong enough to survive , just like our love has survived . lexie : i 've put you through so much . abe : well , that 's all in the past . right now , i am focused on the present and the future . lexie : well , right now , that future seems a whole lot better than the present for me . i 'm so scared . abe : aw , you know what ? you know what ? think of how lucky you are . you 're in a nice , clean hospital instead of stuck in the bottom of some hole , huh ? ha ha . lexie : no , abe , it was n't luck when i was rescued . it was a miracle . that guy -- he came out of nowhere . he saved my life , and then he just disappeared before i could even thank him or find out his name . abe : yeah . well , when you 're up to it , i 'll have the police sketch artist meet with you , and once the two of you can work up a likeness , we 'll have the newspaper print it , and , you know , maybe somebody will recognize our good samaritan , or maybe he 'll come forward himself , and we can both thank him , huh ? lexie : i do n't know . i was so distracted , and i -- i do n't even think that i could -- i could describe him , abe . abe : well , then , you know what ? we 'll run an ad thanking him -- the unknown hero . lexie : or we could just thank god . abe : well ... i do that every day . i thank him for bringing us back together and for this baby . i thought , with all of our problems conceiving , this was truly a miracle . lexie : yeah . more than you know . abe : more than i know ? what do you mean ? lexie : abe . abe : sweetheart , i 'm here , i 'm here , i 'm here , i 'm here . lexie : oh , my god ! oh , my god , it 's happeni ! ! aah ! tony : something wrong ? man : just making my rounds , mr . dimera . tony : ah , good . i wo n't be long . you know , earthquakes notwithstanding , this still has been a very good day . i sealed a deal with a new business associate , and i got rid of a competitor . man : anyone i know ? tony : no , i -- i do n't think so . come . anyway , i 'll give you a call . man : are n't you coming ? tony : no , no , no . i 've got to close up . thank you . john : so , you disposed of your competitor , did you ? ha ha ha . i do n't think so . ww 6ó gq ñoóhr ? 4xz ! uóñ çñ lexie : [ moans ] abe : lexie . lexie , is it the baby ? is it happening ? lexie : get dr . bader ! abe : dr. bader -- definitely . definitely . definitely . dr. bader . lexie : go ! abe : i 'm going ! i 'm going ! i 'm going ! sami : um , abe , do you kw w -- abe : no , no , no , no , no . hey , dr . bader , dr . bader . it 's time . it 's the baby . lexie needs you . karen : okay . what is it , lexie ? lexie : i 'm sorry . i - i just -- i was having a contraction , and i thought it was going to get stronger , but ... i do n't know . i panicked . it just -- it never got stronger , so i -- karen : shh , shh . lexie : what , what , what -- what is it ? karen : the medication is working . this last contraction was milder than the previous ones . lexie : oh , that 's great . that 's great . so that means that -- that they could stop altogether , right ? that i w't't be in labor anymore . karen : ll , that 's what i 'm hoping for , but i 'm going to have to examine you first . abe : all right . i 'll -- i 'll leave you alone . lexie : okay . abe : i love you . lexie : i love you , sweetheart . sami : um , abe , abe , how is lexie ? abe : her contractions have slowed down . sami : really ? really ? that means the baby 's going to be okay , then . abe : oh , yeah , thank god . sami : oh , abe , i 'm -- i 'm really happy for you . i 'm glad . um , you know , i was wondering , do you know where brandon went ? abe : no , no , i do n't , but i - i know there 's something i have to do . brandon : if i were the father of that baby , i would give him the kind of life he deserves , the kind of life i never got . damn my father . this hatred inside me makes me feel like i 'm failing you . i want to be able to forgive abe carver ... but i do n't think i can . abe : what are you doing here , brandon ? brandon : what do you think ? abe : lexie 's contractions have slowed down . brandon : that 's great . that 's a relief . abe : why do you care so much , brandon ? why are you so interested in my unborn child ? what 's it to you ? brandon : is there something wrong with wanting to see a baby born safely ? abe : no , no . of course not . i just do n't see you showing this kind of interest in all the other pregnant women in town . you resent me , do n't you ? you do n't think i deserve it . brandon : no , i don't . i do n't think people who do bad things should come out on top . it offends me . abe : well ... you know , maybe instead of being offended , you should work on your own life . try to find some happiness of your own instead of coveting what everybody else has . abe : brandon . abe : i know ... i know you were affected by my ... past sins , and i 'm sorry . i 'm truly , truly sorry . but the only way you 're going to grow up , become a man , is to let it go . brandon : i ca n't do that . marlena : am i just restless ? is that it ? has there been so much pain in my life , so much change and turmoil that i 'm addicted to it ? when things are going well , when they 're stable , am i bored ? when the people around me are happy and settled , do i need to find somebody who is n't , somebody who needs help , somebody who needs to be rescued ? i thrive on helping people . that 's why psychiatry was so araractive to me . but this -- i 've got a loving husband , a great career , good friends , my health -- oh , my gosh , when i think of all the people that have so little in their lives , and i 'm so blessed . i 'm so lucky . i should treasure every moment , every second , but instead ... this addiction to danger . tony represents danger . he unsettles me . he unnerves me . i 've been perceived by so many people as -- as perfect . if they only know how i feel ... they won't . i 'll cover that up . tony : john ?

she said she 's not supposed to be having visitors right now . brandon : yeah . i 'll check in with you later . sami : you know ... brandon : the baby 's going to be all right . sami : is n't it wonderful ? maybe now that everything 's under control , we could go to the cafeteria , have some coffee , and we could even call the resort . i bet our room is still available . we could go back there , pick up where we left off , you know , and -- and , uh , you know what ? we could -- we could get all cozy in that bed and you could finish asking me that question that you started to ask me earlier . what do you say ? woman 's voice : dr. forrest , dial 118 , please . dr. forrest , please dial 118 . john : you sick son of a bitch . left me to die in that sauna . tony : ah , but , john , you 're my superhero . what possible reason would i have to leave you to die ? john : only one reason -- marlena . you covet my wife , and you 're fool enghgh to think that you can have her , like she would ever fall in love with a lousy bastard like you . tony : you 're absolutely right . i do want marlena , but i do n't want you dead . i want you alive , so you can see when i win her . it 'll take the sport all out of it , you see . i want you to suffer like i did when you took my wife away from me . i want you to live a very , very long life so you can suffer that loss of marlena every second of your life . death would be far too easy for you . john : what a concept -- tony 's being honest . tony : ha ha ha ha . i 'm always honest , john . john : well , come totally clean , then . this earthquake gave you the perfect opportunity to amend your plan -- an opportunity you could n't pass up . you knew if you let me die in the sauna , not only would i suffer , but i would spend my last hours knowing that you were going to step in and comfort my wife . too tasty to resist , huh ? so i want to hear you say it . admit it , dimera . you tried to kill me . so , it was called cattle point . of the nation , and subsequentlyne of th here . your cruise director , ron sami : so , what do you think of my idea ? brandon : i 'm sorry . what ? sami : we could go to the cafeteria and maybe have some coffee . brandon : oh , yeah , yeah , if you want . sami : and then we could talk . you could ask me that question you were about to pop earlier , and -- and maybe we could even go back to the resort . brandon : samantha , i do n't want to go back to the resort , and i do n't want to talk ... i mean , i do want to talk , just -- just not tonight , all right ? i 'm beat . sami : i know . it 's been a long night . brandon : can we just go home , just you and me together ? sami : of course . as long as you promise to get back to that question eventually . brandon : i promise . brandon : do you want to get some coffee before we go ? all right , come on . let 's go get it . abe : well , so what 's the good news , huh ? karen : well , the contractions have stopped . the baby 's going to be fine . abe : ah , thank you . karen : i had very little to do with it . abe : so how much longer will she have to stay here ? karen : she can go home tonight . i 'll go do the paperwork . lexie : see you later . karen : okay . eugenia : i 'm so glad everything 's okay , lexie . lexie : thanks , eugenia . eugenia : i just could n't live with myself if anything happened to you or the baby , especially not with thin being the way that they are . lexie : what do you mean by that ? marlena : the hazards of being a psychiatrist -- all that self - awareness , a tendency to analyze everything into the ground . then there 's tony . there is goodness in him -- kindness , strength . i 've got to help him find it . i 've got to help him become a better person . for cassie 's sake , for rex ... and if i do n't , i will have to sit back and watch my children become dimeras , in the worst sense of the word . i can help him . i just have to keep my own issues from clouding my judgment . tony can be changed , redeemed , and i have to try no matter what the risks . i have no choice . tony : you know , john , everything in life is a game . the trick is to be a winner at any cost . john : and the cost of this little game was my life . tony : well , if you happened to be snuffed out by an act of god , who am i to question the will of the almighty ? john : you blasphemous son of a -- man : let him go or i 'll shoot . i mean it . john : scu man : you okay , mr . dimera ? tony : oh , yes . man : i 'll call the police . tony : oh , no , no . no need . contrary to appearances , my brother was n't trying to kill me . actually , he was ready to leave . john : that 's a fact . you screwed up . you overplayed your hand tonight , so brace yourself , 'cause you 're going to regret it . tony : hmm . one decision here has hit this city 's economy hard . the sars scare made it off - limits . now the w.h.o . has seen the appeal , but will they see the light ? find out . on tonight 's global national with kevin newman . eugenia : i - i just meant , um ... i - i did n't want anything to happen to the baby , that 's all . i 've got to go . i 'm on duty . lexie : what was that all about ? abe : i do n't know . i mean ... brandon 's shown an unnatural interest in our baby , but ... eugania 's your friend . i mean eugenia . lexie : that 's strange . i agree . brandon : i ca n't wait to get home . sami : um , honey , i forgot to ask eugenia a question about -- about work . it 'll just take a second . brandon : all right . sami : eugenia thought about what i said ? eugenia : do n't worry . i decided i do n't want to screw up that baby 's life , so ... i do n't know what to do , but ... i wo n't say anything . sami : good choice . eugenia : for now . sami : so , let 's blow this popsicle stand . brandon : let 's do it . rex : cassie , why should n't i unlock my dna ? cassie : we 're twins , rex . if you unlock yours , then you might wind up unlocking mine , too . rex : and what 's wrong with that ? then we 'd finally find out who we are . cassie : what if we 're freaks ? what then ? rex : we 're not -- cassie : you ca n't promise that . what if you find out something horrible ? you know , i just do n't want to know it . rex : knowing wo n't change who we are . cassie : yes , it will . look , i want a boyfriend . i want a life . i want to be normal . rex : but we aren't . cassie : we can just pretend . rex : not me , because if i do , i might miss my true calling . i might never achieve the higher purpose for which i was created , and that 's unacceptable . i 've got to find my destiny . man : sure you 're okay ? tony : oh , positive . oh , my . but thank you for your concern . man : i did n't know he was your brother . he tried to get into the club before with some phony story about a lost wallet . i stopped him . i thought he left . sorry . tony : oh , no , it 's not your fault . but as it turns out , i think my brother and i needed that moment . i think it has helped us come to some form of new understanding . marlena 's voice : i can help him . i just have to keep my own issues from clouding my judgment . tony can be changed , redeemed , and i have to try , no matter what the risks . i have no choice . marlena : john ? what 's wrong ? what 's happened ? john : your friend tony dimera tried to kill me tonight . nancy : welcome home , sweetheart . craig : ah , look who 's here ! ha ha ha ha ha . shawn : : my father 's going to kill me if he finds out i brought you here . belle : you did not bring me here . i came on my own . tony : marlena , what 's wrong ? marlena : you tried to kill my husband . jennifer : so , till next time ... jack : when we 're ... both : in the house . | the medicine helps lexie 's contraction stop . brandon says if the baby was his , he 'd give it the life he never had . sami talks eugenia out of telling brandon the truth . marlena talks about how she loves john , but has a need to help tony . after leaving the gym , john finds out were tony was and confronts him about how he tried to kill him . |
rex : why did n't you tell me marlena was taking truth serum ? mimi : well , i walked in here , and rocco dispirito , television celebrity chef from new york , was cooking me dinner , and then that dessert he made , the autographed cookbooks , and then our own private dessert ‑‑ i 'm sorry , i got a little distracted , and i did n't want to ruin your night . rex : or yours . you should have told me the truth , mimi . mimi : like what ? `` oh , by the way , sweetheart , the woman who gave birth to you is about to confess to being the salem stalker . that 's right , honey . marlena 's probably about to admit that she killed your twin sister . `` rex : yeah , yeah , that 's exactly what you should have told me . i deserve to know . i thought you always told me the truth , mimi . maybe i ca n't trust you after all .

[ clearing throat ] so , ej , i did n't ask you because i thought you had a job . i thought as mayor , you 'd be busy and not able to spend the day with the kids . ej : uh , spending time with the children is not the only reason i wanted to talk to you . sami : really ? that 's so shocking . so what is it ? ej : samantha , i 'm concerned as to how they 're going to be affected by this relationship you seem to be developing with lucas .

[ scene_break ] hope : you need to eat more and feel less . come on , brady , just a little . try . bo : can you blame me , fancy face ? i mean , stefano 's goons almost killed me . i 'm put in this medically - induced coma so i can heal . i wake up from that and ... [ chuckling ] hope : i know . at least i 'm back home . glass half - full . bo : there is that . but you 're still legally married to john . that whole trip to alamainia was a bust ... hope : yeah . bo : to put it mildly . hope : it 's as depressing as the 6 : 00 news . bo : yeah . just telling you how i feel . hope : i know . i just want you to use all that energy on healing . bo : i 'm a bit frustrated . i mean , what ? saw ciara for , like , two minutes . i have n't had any alone time with you . hope : i know . bo : i - i did n't get a chance to tell you what happened when i was in that coma . hope : what happened ? bo : i saw zack . and it was -- it was crazy , but ... i was -- i was with him , and he was happy and at peace .

[ scene_break ] nicole : you know what ? yes , i am afraid that the paternity test will show that ej is the father because he 's a dimera , and ej wants this child . so , yes , he absolutely could have the test results altered to show that he 's the father . brady : maybe he still loves you . nicole : oh ... please . he just ca n't admit that he lost me . he even said that he would raise rafe 's child as his own if i took him back . brady : oh . would you ? nicole : i came very close to doing so . but , no , i would n't . and i will not have this child raised as a dimera . brady : [ chuckling ] uh , wow . nicole : i 'm sorry , i 'm -- i 'm missing the joke . brady : no , it 's not -- it 's not a joke , it 's just ... i mean , i came here to surprise you , and here you are surprising me with all this -- all this news . nicole : oh , you 're right . i 'm sorry . congratulations to you and madison on your impending nuptials . brady : uh , thank you , but , um , how do you know that ? because we -- we did n't make it public yet . nicole : now , brady , you know that i keep tabs on the people that i care about . i just hope that madison does n't hurt you ... the way that i did . [ scene_break ] carrie : when we were making sandwiches , hope mentioned that you 're going to be working for the i.s.a . congratulations . rafe : thanks . now i 'm not sure if they 're gon na keep me on after this is all over , but ... it 's good for now . good way for me to take care of the people i care about . carrie : everyone 's really lucky to have you on board . you 're really great at what you do . rafe : so are you . carrie : i really am sorry that our partnership ended . rafe : yeah . yeah , i 'm sorry things ended the way they did too . carrie : should 've thought of that before you slept with nicole and got her pregnant . [ scene_break ] hope : you were with zack ? bo : yeah . it was bright , and -- and warm , and there he was . our little guy . and i started to tear up , and he says , `` daddy , please do n't cry . i want you to be happy , daddy . you and our family , i want you to be happy . `` hope : oh , bo . bo : it was amazing , fancy face . it was -- it was so real , i just -- just wanted to stay there with him . but then i heard this voice ... way off in the distance . so i listened , and -- and it was you . [ scene_break ] john : you know , it 's gon na take both halves of that coin to complete that code . marlena : and maybe yvette 's full name as well . john : yeah . i got ta know who she is . i got ta know why this is so important to stefano . [ scene_break ] ej : oh , you 're back , are you ? stefano : trying to find new hope for alexandra . ej : i have my people trying to do the same thing . stefano : what ? i 'm busy . ej : you were going to show me something . something in that drawer . now , i had a look , and there was nothing in there . so why do n't you tell me what you 're keeping from me ? stefano : how am i to tell elvis that he 's not my son ? sorry , but , uh , that 's gon na have to wait . something else very important has come up . ej : oh , for you and me both , as it happens . i 'm sure you do n't have any idea how john black 's team managed to learn about those little internet outages so they could get him off the hook that i so carefully hung him on . [ scene_break ] lucas : you know , you do n't have to tell me what ej said if you do n't want to . it 's cool . sami : i do n't mind . it was just weird . he said that , um , he was concerned about the children being around you so soon after rafe . lucas : well , that 's easy . he 's jealous . next ? sami : this is where it got confusing . he brought up john 's trial , and asked if i knew anything about the evidence that rafe had that cleared him . [ cell phone ringing ] lucas : well , do you ? sami : no , of course not . frankly , i do n't care . i mean , john and marlena can -- oh , my god . lucas : what ? sami : oh , my god . um , one of countess w 's biggest retailers , they 're cancelling their summer order because kate 's not the ceo anymore . oh , my god , we have to get to the office , we have to fix this . lucas : all right , all right . we 'll fix it , all right ? but not at the office . sami : why not ? lucas : because i do n't want the other employees panicking , all right ? they 're already mad that my mom 's gone , so it 's a matter of time before they jump ship to mad world , and we do n't want that . sami : right . so what do we do ? lucas : come on , i 'll show you . sami : okay . [ scene_break ] marlena : so if yvette is not connected to stefano , well , then maybe she 's connected to the original owner of the egg . or the artisan that crafted it in the first place . john : well , whether it 's yvette , the code , or both , something on that coin is so important to stefano that he has been willing to kill -- to kill -- to get his hands on it . marlena : well , the i.s.a . will stay on it till they crack the code and figure out exactly what it means . john : yeah , but until then , we 're stuck here . [ scene_break ] stefano : why on earth would you ask me something like that ? ej : because you stole john black 's money from me after i took it from him , so it makes sense that you would also be the one to get him out of jail . stefano : see , a father would never betray his son the way you are suggesting that i am doing to you . hope : you heard my voice ? one to get him out of jail . stefano : see , a father would never betray his son the way you are suggesting that i am doing to you . [ scene_break ] hope : you heard my voice ? bo : yeah . i was holding on to zack , and i heard you . and zack says , `` hey , that 's mommy . `` and you were saying that you wanted me to come back and how much you loved me and how ciara missed me . and zack says , `` when mommy says you have to do something , you got ta do it . `` hope : [ laughing ] oh , my god . i can just hear him saying that . bo : yeah . but i did n't wan na go , fancy face . i just wanted to stay there with him . hope : i know . bo : and -- and the thing is ... he looks at me and says , `` daddy , you got ta go back . i 'll see -- i 'll see you again . `` so that 's why i opened my eyes . and there you were , my beautiful fancy face . hope : thank you for sharing that with me . bo : seeing zack ... oh , my gosh , that was a gift . hope : yeah . bo : and thank you . thank you for coming back . thank you for bringing me out of that coma . hope : brady , once this whole nightmare is over , what do you think about continuing our therapy with marlena ? what do you think ? bo : yeah . absolutely . i mean , anything we have to do to make our marriage better and stronger . hope : yeah . i love you . you 're the best . bo : no , you 're the best . [ scene_break ] brady : see , early on , she did n't want to have a workplace romance . nicole : good idea . brady : mm - hmm . but , hey , i won her over . nicole : mm - hmm . brady : and , well , it turns out she was married to a guy that she had worked with before . nicole : let me guess . that ended badly . brady : actually , uh -- uh , her marriage is ending quite peacefully after all . nicole : um , um , she 's still married ? brady : yeah , yeah , but , uh , as soon as she 's divorced , we 're -- we 're doing the `` i do '' s . nicole : whoa , wait , let me get this straight -- brady : i should 've gotten us -- i should 've gotten a second piece of cake . that 's good . nicole : madison hid the fact that she was married when you first started dating ? brady : [ clearing throat ] because you 'd never do anything like that . nicole : touché . okay . so are you and madison okay now ? brady : i love her . i love her , and i 've never been happier in my whole life .

and how do you know liam frazer ? and why did n't you say anything before ? nicole : i , um -- what i did , jennifer , you have to understand -- liam : quit stalling . nicole : okay . jennifer , i did something . i - i - i kept a secret and it was n't -- was n't exactly ethical . liam : no , no kidding . nicole : excuse me ? from the guy holding a gun who 's about to commit a double murder ? what , are you mr. ethics now ? liam : you better keep your mind in the game , bitch . nicole : after everything that you 've pulled ? what ? liam : if you knew what was good for you -- nicole : i 've been investigating him . oh , i 've talked to our ex - wife , and she told me what a psycho you are . liam : shut the hell up . nicole : jennifer , she looks just like you . jennifer : just hold on ! nicole : he 's harassing you like he harassed her . liam : that does it . [ overlapping shouting ] liam : here 's your chance to decide right now . do you want it in the gut or right between the eyes ? jennifer : liam ! no ! ciara : grandma says she 's got deliveries to put away first . hope : oh , all right , sweetheart . um , why do n't you sit at that table over there ? here , here 's your backpack . did you bring a book with you ? ciara : uh - huh . hope : okay , let me know if you need anything , sweetheart . aiden : okay . hope : aiden , look . aiden : what ? hope : giselle is very specific . aiden : mm - hmm . hope : she said she 'd come to the gala with her magnificent art collection , making sure we raise tons of money , if and only if she had a date for the evening with my brother - in - law . aiden : okay , we have to forget about roman , all right ? move on . trust me , i can be very persuasive . hope : what 's your plan ? what are you gon na do ? sweet - talk her into it ? aiden : one of the reasons that makes me a pretty good lawyer is i do my research . giselle 's favorite flowers ? what are they ? roses . she has a weakness for what ? chocolate . this particular brand of chocolate . she 's also a tech freak , so what did i do ? i went out and i got her the latest smartwatch . so , yes , this may seem a little silly to you , but i 'm gon na tell you something . she 's gon na walk in here , she 's gon na be smelling these flowers , she 's gon na be eating up this chocolate ... [ cell phone rings ] aiden : she 's gon na be wowed by her smartwatch , and she will be putty in my hands . can i ? hope : i do n't think so . aiden : that 's defeat talking . now give -- hope : no , it 's giselle talking . she 's not coming . sami : so , are you gon na tell me now ? ej : i 'm sorry ? sami : seriously ? i had to hear about this from kate ? ej : what did kate tell you about ? sami : stop it , okay ? just stop it . she told me about -- about the custody agreement that gabi drew up , right ? where will ends up getting completely iced out ! ej : the agreement ? okay , it 's not a problem . sami : hey , ej ... when you do n't tell me about important things , trust me , it 's a problem for me . ej : samantha , i 'm sorry , all right ? i asked your mother and william not to say anything because i wanted to be the person who told you . sami : my mother knows about this ? ej : just relax , okay ? i do n't know what your friend kate told you , but this is just an opening gambit . it 's how it works . of course her lawyer is going to ask that she have everything and william have nothing . sami : no , no . this is n't about the lawyer at all . nick fallon did this . kate : you got that attorney for gabi , did n't you ? made sure she asked for everything , gave my grandson nothing ? nick : yeah . i got gabi a lawyer ... who drew up a custody agreement . not me . so relax , okay ? this will be just fine . will and sonny and gabi and i will work things out . kate : oh , okay , you see ? see , that 's the problem . you 're not part of that equation . nick : listen ! i am a part of gabi 's life now . she needs me . she trusts me , so if i want to find a lawyer for her -- kate : that 's because she does n't know who you are , nick . nick : oh , she knows exactly who i am . gabi knows exactly who i am . that 's where you 're wrong . i am the man that she married . i am the man that she loves , the man that still loves her , and i will do anything i can to protect her . and as a matter of fact , kate , she 's the only person in this situation that i give a damn about . you should keep that in mind . theresa : well , hey , i do n't know anything for sure . daniel : then tell me what you suspect . theresa : like i said before , he 's -- he 's obsessed with jennifer . okay , remember when you were , like , totally convinced that i made that flier with the doctored photo and you -- you went off on me in the square and said you were gon na make me pay ? daniel : yeah , and ? theresa : okay , he was watching , and afterward , he came up to me and he pretended like he did n't know who i was . he was all friendly and said ... brady : i remember that . i remember that . theresa : he wanted to get to know me better . brady : yeah , no , i walked in on that . theresa : yeah , and from then on , he started popping up everywhere . he was -- he 'd always be like , `` oh , hi , theresa . what 's going on ? have you seen jenn ? `` and then one day , he said that he wanted to buy me lunch , and so i was like , okay . a free lunch , you know ? and the whole time , though , he was talking about jennifer . and then when he went to go pay the bill , this little picture of him and jenn just pops out of his wallet . i mean , he 'd been carrying it around the whole time . daniel : my god . theresa : and so i called him on it , you know , right then and there . i said , `` you 're the one who 's been harassing jenn with the website and the flier and all that stuff , `` and then he got all weird . he just went crazy . eric : okay , theresa , why did n't you just tell anyone ? theresa : you know , i tried to tell you , daniel , a long time ago , and if you had n't been so quick to rip my head off , maybe i would have . so you want to know whose fault it is that you did n't know ? there 's a mirror right there . why do n't you take a look ? go ahead . nicole : [ whimpers ] liam : you had no right digging into my life , thinking you 're so smart . well , guess what , bitch . now you 're gon na know what it feels like to be the loser , okay ? think how it 's gon na feel when i burn one through your gut . [ grunts ] nicole : ah ! oh , god . oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . jennifer : nicole , look at me . nicole , look at me . let 's go ! come with me . nicole : wait , wait , wait ! jennifer : what ? nicole : wait , wait , wait ! jennifer : nicole ! nicole , you do n't need the gun ! nicole : no , it 's his cell phone . it 's one of those new ones . i think it gets better reception than ours . jennifer : listen to me ! let 's go ! liam : so what do you think your ex - priest friend would think about you destroying the only information that could ever clear his name ? jennifer : nicole ! never mind the phone . listen to me . we need to go right now . liam : you think i went to the trouble to paste those kristin papers back together , then left them there where my ex - wife could find them anytime she wanted to ? no , sweetheart . that stuff 's right here . jennifer : nicole . we need to find a place to hide and we need to call for help . you need to come with me right now ! nicole : okay , i am , i am . i 'm almost home . ah ! [ overlapping screaming ] nicole : no ! kate : [ chuckles ] why did you even push for this `` meeting `` ? nick : hmm , i 'm glad you asked . here 's why . the last formula i gave you ? that baby 's gon na make you a gazillion dollars , so i want a bigger slice of the profits . kate : excuse me ? you are aware that we have a contract that clearly states -- nick : i 'm very aware of what the contract clearly states . it clearly states that i get 19 % . tear it up . i 'm taking 30 from now on , and do n't think that i do n't have access to your books . ciao . and you want to know what ? one more thing , kate . that smartass comment you just made to percy , `` greetings and get lost `` ? he gets a $ 10,000 raise for that . ej : look , nicholas fallon is a grade - a bastard . there is no doubt about it . i 'm sure he did not help things , but the fact of the matter is no lawyer is gon na be able to persuade william to take a custody deal that he does n't want to . sami : what did gabi ask for ? ej : oh , i do n't know . the usual sort of thing , you know ? she gets everything , he gets nothing . sami : okay . ej : samantha , please , will you just listen to me , darling ? it 's an opening gambit . it 's what lawyers do . it 's business as usual . sami : this is n't about the lawyers , ej . nick is pouring poison into gabi 's ear day and night and we have to find a way to make it stop . daniel : me ? you blame me ? eric : listen , i think you need to explain that , theresa . brady : it better be good . theresa : no , that day when the picture popped out of liam 's wallet and he went all weird , i went straight to your office , daniel . and i was gon na tell you to watch out for him , that he was trouble , but , oh ! oh , no , you could n't wait to rip into me and tell me to stay away from brady because i 'm trash , right ? i 'm garbage ? daniel : so to get back at me , you keep quiet about all of this ? theresa : like you were gon na believe me anyway . you hate me . daniel : you know , i -- liam is a pharmaceutical rep . he has access to all sorts of drugs . eric : why would he drug you ? daniel : i do n't know . to make me look bad in jennifer 's eyes . theresa : when somebody tells you that you 're out of their life , it hurts . i 'm assuming that he was trying to get back at jenn , and that 's why he did all that stuff with the flier and website , and when that did n't work , he went after you . daniel : jennifer 's on smith island . every time i try to call her , it just goes straight to voicemail . brady : that 's typical . there 's no reception out there . daniel : well , i need to find her . i mean , we got ta find her . i got ta let her know about this guy . eric : well , you can use my dad 's boat . daniel : well , that 's terrific . that 's gr -- all right , let 's go . brady , can you get ahold of hope , get her on top of this ? 'cause we do n't know what this guy is capable of , do we ? brady : yeah . i 'm calling now . go , go . theresa : you 're welcome . aiden : she wo n't even meet with us ? hope : not unless we guarantee her a date with roman , which means no date , no artwork , no money from the auction . aiden : she wo n't even talk to me ? hope : nope . some nerve , huh ? some women just do n't play fair . aiden : mmm . hope : well , i guess the gala 's just not gon na raise as much money for the school this year . aiden : okay , wait a minute . before you raise the white flag , i think we can -- [ cell phone rings ] hope : oh , gosh , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i do n't mean to be rude . hey , what 's up ? brady : can you get over to theresa 's place ? now . you need to know about something big that 's going down with daniel and jennifer . hope : i 'll be right there . aiden : what ? hope : hey , sweetheart . listen , sweetie . mommy has to run out . you stay here with grandma , okay ? i 'll be back soon . i 'm sorry , it 's an emergency . i 've got ta take care of this . aiden : got it .

[ machines beeping ] xander : it 'd be different if brady had stabbed me . i mean , me , i wanted sarah . i wanted that baby . i was out for myself as always , but he had to have known you were only trying to protect maggie . you cared for maggie the way you 've cared for brady 17,000 times , and he stabbed an old man -- an old man who loved him . [ scoffs ] and i was trying to warn you about kristen . but yeah , when she found out you were in on it , i -- i was sure she was gon na try and kill you , but brady beat her to the knife . brady . it 's not just what he did . it 's that it could turn out that the -- the last thing you ever saw in your life was him coming at you with a knife . you loved him and you had to watch him do that to you . kristen : you know , your concern has been duly noted . you can go now . nicole : damn it , kristen , brady is in jail . kristen : you know what ? i know that . i do n't need to be reminded . nicole : okay , right . kristen : just -- just -- you can go . nicole : eric and i want you to know that we 'll do whatever we can to help . kristen : that is very , very sweet , but i thought you hated my guts . nicole : well , of course i do . i 'm doing this for eric . i 'm doing this for brady and his daughter , and if i give up on you , then i 'm giving up on her . kristen , i know what you 're going through and i know that it 's hell . kristen : you know what ? i do n't need you to be nice to me . i don't . i do n't want you to understand me because i do n't deserve this . i do n't deserve any of it , not after what i 've done . i just ... nicole : you what ? kristen ?

[ mysterious music ] jake : [ exhales ] [ sniffs ] what are you staring at ? ben : you . this guy who looks exactly like my old boss . jake : ah , so you keep saying . hey , i got the part for your girlfriend 's bike . ben : oh , great . thank you , man . jake : yeah . ben : did you get a chance to talk to your boss about me ? do i have a job ? xander : still do n't know where sarah is . managed to get her on the phone . tried to convince her that i was her best chance to get away , but she would n't tell me where she is . said she does n't trust me . ciara : and i ca n't imagine why . [ accordion music playing ] [ baby cooing ] sarah : so , mommy used to come here every day when i studied at the sorbonne . it was kind of a walk , and to be honest with you , the coffee 's really not that great but i did like to look at the morning light on the seine , and if the coffee 's really not that good , the chocolate croissants are magnifique . you wan na share one with me ? rex : sarah ?

[ whimpers ] nicole : thought maybe it had . kristen : [ inhales sharply ] nicole : this is classic kristen dimera and it 's obvious to me that you 're the one that stabbed victor . brady : look , this -- this is n't helping , obviously , so i know you do n't want to believe that i stabbed victor , but i did it . i did it and , uh , if i could take it back , i would , but i never meant to . eric : you could n't do it . you 're not violent . you could have never done it . i know you . it 's not in you . i mean , when i mentioned to you victor may die , you said , `` maggie . `` you care and protect the people you love , but when you go crazy , you take it out on yourself . you drink . you blame yourself . you do n't wan na ever attack those that you love , and you ca n't even make me believe that you would start with your grandfather . brady : you know , it 's funny . eric : what ? brady : do n't you get it ? i mean , you -- you 're sitting here telling me that i would n't be able to put a knife into my grandfather but it 's like one of those -- those sick greek plays that grandfather always talks about , you know ? the family curse , and how he could n't stop playing god so his own flesh and blood had to kill him . you know , the -- the fall of the house of kiriakis . it 's very poetic . eric : wow . brady : that 's it . eric : wow , that 's , um -- what 's the word that i 'm looking for ? a bunch of bull ! i know you and i know you did n't do it unless you were drunk as hell , but you were n't , and i saw you . brady : hey , i was n't drunk when i buried vivian . eric : no , because that was premeditated . it was calculated . it was level- headed . the person who stabbed victor was in a frenzy . brady : i had just found out that my daughter was taken from kristen and me , and given to you and sarah . i hated him for that . i did -- i did go into a frenzy , eric . i mean , he deserved everything that happened to him . eric : no , wait . brady : he deserved it . eric : he deserved what happened to him ? you said you were sorry , that you wish you could take it back . i know why you did n't do this . you do n't even know how you feel about it . that 's why i know you did n't kill him . brady : no , just -- just shut up about it , all right ? i do n't wan na talk about it anymore . eric : listen to what you 're saying . fit of rage . frenzy . something took over you . brady , that 's not you . it 's kristen . i 'm bad . gabi : oh , i do n't want tea . i need a double tequila . kate : no , no . you 're already seeing things that are n't there , so drink . gabi : i was n't hallucinating . that 's abigail 's department . kate : what are you talking about ? gabi : chad did n't tell you ? she 's back in the hospital . she 's seeing crazy visions of ben -- imaginary ben . kate : oh , my god . not again . gabi : oh , no , it 's not again . this time she was drugged , and everybody thinks it 's me . kate : well , is it ? jake : so , i talked to the owner and he said he does n't know you from adam , right ? does n't know your work history , does n't know anything about you . ben : i got it . i got it . jake : hey , ben , stay with me , all right ? that was me yesterday . look at me now . [ chuckles ] okay ? like i said , i got my fair share of work cut out for me here , which means you have a good chance of being hired by me . i 'm gon na be your boss . ben : okay . uh , well , that would be fine . jake : good , but you got ta prove yourself first . you can get the engine on this bad boy running , you 're in like flynn . ben : right , man . i 'm glad there 's hope . jake : yeah , so am i , 'cause you and me , i think we 're gon na hit it off . ciara : you know , i ca n't even believe that sarah answered the phone . i mean , after what you two have done . maggie 's in jail . sarah is god knows where . if they find her , she 'll go to prison forever , and if they do n't , brady will never see his own son again . you convinced sonny that his husband killed his own mother , and will went to prison for something that he did n't even do . xander : i 've hurt people terribly , i know . ciara : oh , please . you can drop the contrite puppy dog act , okay ? because i am not maggie and i will not fall for your crap . oh , grandpa . look at what you 've done . xander : ciara , he really did believe that if maggie found out what she 'd done , it would have killed her . ciara : and you wanted to help sarah because you love her . xander : i do . ciara : [ chuckles ] well , lucky , lucky maggie , huh ? what better than to be loved by two kiriakis men ? rex : mmm , so by the way , my mom tells me that you are engaged to xander . when 's the happy day ? sarah : uh , it 's not for a while , i 'm afraid . eric : brady , think about it . you 're trying to protect kristen so rachel has her mother , but come on , brady . what kind of mother ? it 's not widely understated that she has some anger management issues . brady : all right , stop . you know , eric , i 'm not gon na try to change your mind about the way you feel about kristen . i do n't need to do that . i do n't have to do that , but you were right here when i figured out that my grandfather was behind that baby switch . i went right from here and i went right to him . the fact is , kristen did n't even know that victor was involved in the baby switch until after i stabbed him . she did n't have any motive to kill him , brother . i did . nicole : oh , my god . you pushed haley down the stairs when she told you your baby had died . you stabbed victor when you found out he took your baby from you . kristen : i do n't know . being put away is the best way to live and i 'm never gon na see my baby again . brady : no you 're not , no you 're not , no you 're not , no you 're not . you know why ? 'cause it 's gon na be okay . look at me . open your eyes . look at me . it 's gon na be all right . kristen : [ crying ] brady : 'cause i 'm gon na take care of everything . i 'm gon na take care of everything . kristen : i -- i wo n't lie . when i found out , i -- i did wan na kill victor but brady got there first . nicole : then what did you mean when you said , `` this is happening all over again `` ? kristen : i meant that my baby is stolen and brady is in jail and i am all alone . no matter what i do , i always -- i always end up alone . ben : there we are . jake : you know , most mechanics have dirt under their nails . ben : yeah , well , this would be a career change for me . jake : oh . ben : if i get hired . jake : right . what 'd you do before ? ben : security . jake : for the guy who looked like me ? ben : yeah . jake : well , looks like you know what you 're doing . ben : yeah , well , if you think i know bikes , you should see my girlfriend . jake : ah . ben : she can take a bike apart , put it back together blindfolded . jake : and how often is she called upon to do that ? [ both chuckling ] ben : sorry , man . seem to get a little carried away when i talk about her . she 's the best thing that 's ever happened to me . xander : you do n't have to tell me what i 've done to sarah . i never stop thinking about it . ciara : thinking ? well , too bad you were n't thinking before you and grandfather decided to play god with people 's babies . xander : sarah wanted that baby so much . ciara : and the baby died , and that 's horrible , and the pain that sarah would have felt would have been unbelievable , but what about now ? after a whole year of believing that rachel was her little girl , after a year of loving her and holding her and taking care of her and falling more and more in love with her every single day , how is sarah supposed to lose that baby now , huh ? how the hell is she ever gon na get over this ? rex : so you and xander , it 's a long engagement ? sarah : no . i , uh -- um -- i changed my mind . weddings do n't really work out all that well for me anyway . rex : i vaguely remember . sarah : rex , i am so sorry . rex : [ laughs ] no , stop , look . sarah , i was just trying to will us into being happy and being in love with each other . i was trying to will you into forgetting about the fact that i had cheated on you multiple times and fathered a child with one of those women . or i was trying to will myself into not seeing that you and eric were in love . sarah : yeah , can we just not talk about it ? rex : so -- sarah : it was n't my finest hour . rex : was xander a -- was it a rebound or -- sarah : can you not talk about it ? rex : it was that bad , huh ? 'cause , like , i got ta be honest with you . i 'm happy you woke up because , like , xander ? come on . sarah : thank you -- thank you for not talking about it . rex : all right . is that why you 're here ? sarah : what ? rex : in paris . there 's no better place to visit when you 've called off a wedding . [ clears throat ] where you staying ? sarah : i -- rex : you , uh , do n't wan na tell me ? sarah : rex -- rex : no , it 's -- it 's -- it 's okay . sarah , you wanted to get away from everything with your baby , and i 'm the absolute last person on the face of the earth that you wanted to run into . i -- i understand that . call me the -- the ghost of weddings past . [ chuckles ] sarah : something like that . well , look , um , she 's an angel but not when she does n't get a nap so -- rex : oh , look , i -- i completely understand that . kids , they -- they rule everything . but i -- i do wan na say that motherhood looks really good on you . come here . adieu . and say hi to eric for me . and i 'll see you in salem maybe sometime soon . sarah : no . no , you won't . eric : so that 's your story ? and you 're sticking to it , right ? brady : mm . you 're really getting on my nerves , man . eric : i 'm sorry . let me know if you need anything . brady : eric , there -- there is something that i would like you to do for me , actually . uh , when we -- not we . when kristen finally gets rachel back , since she thinks of you as a dad already , would you mind , um , being there for her when she comes home ? because i obviously ca n't be there . will you do that for me ? eric : i 'll be there . [ phones ringing ] [ door closes ] nicole : well , of course you 're alone . everyone in salem is related to someone that you tried to kill . kristen : get out , or i 'm gon na -- nicole : or you 'll what ? you gon na kill me ? is that what you were gon na say ? [ sighs ] kristen , i am not taunting you . i am just trying to get you to think . look , you can pour over maps or give arias about how much you love your little baby , but crazy ladies need to make big changes if they want to be good at motherhood . i love holly more than life itself and she can be obstinate , defiant , drive me up a wall , but i have got to be the grown up . i have to keep it together . i ca n't get angry . that 's the job . that 's the job . so before brady goes to prison and leaves rachel entirely in your hands , you need to ask yourself , are you up to it ? can you not be you ? [ downtrodden music ] kirsten : can i ? can i not be me ? in this time of social distancing , [ melancholy music ] nicole : eric , i 'm scared . i 'm scared that it was n't brady who stabbed victor . i think it was -- eric : kristen . nicole : you , too ? eric : sit down . i just saw brady . i told him that i thought it was kristen , that he was just covering for her . nicole : and ? eric : he said it could n't have been her . she did n't know what victor had done until after he was stabbed . nicole : and you believe that ? eric : i believe that brady 's not gon na back down . i think he 's just doing what is best for rachel . nicole : i told kristen she needs to think about what 's best for rachel . eric : you know brady 's not gon na back down about this . nicole : maybe kristen will . [ phones ringing ] kristen : brady , i 'm so -- brady : come here . here , yeah . we have to get something -- something straight about last night , all right ? listen . you did n't know anything . you did n't know anything about victor being involved in that baby switch until eli and lani brought me in here . you hear me ? i want you to repeat that . you did n't know anything . kristen : brady , brady . wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . please . i have decided that i am not gon na let you do this . i 'm gon na confess to what i did . ciara : you know what ? just go , okay ? i would like to be alone with my grandfather right now . xander : i 'm gon na find sarah . ciara : then god help her .

[ soft dramatic music ] uh , you know the last time i was sorry because i thought that i did n't tell you that i loved you enough when i had the chance , but i just -- i hope that you know how much i love you because i love you so much even though you make it so damn hard sometimes . oh , grandpa .

[ bo h dialing ] cassie : john , what 's going on ? did something happen to our mother ? john : no , no . marlena 's fine . this has to do with the three of us . rex : but something is wrong . john : that 's a fact . nothing we ca n't handle , though . cassie : what do you mean ? john : listen , when the two of you landed in salem here , you only wanted two things , right ? you wanted to find your family , and you wanted to be free . rex : that 's right . but something 's happened , has n't it ? something you 're not telling us . that 's why you 're here . marlena : you left john defenseless , knowing that he could die . tony : what are you talking about ? marlena : i know what happened . john told me you tried to kill him . tony : marlena , please . john 's my brother . marlena : you hate him . tony : is n't it the other way around ? is n't he the one who 's always trying to destroy me , ever since i returned here to salem ? marlena : apparently with good reason . you left him there , trapped in the sauna . tony : did he also tell you that he started the fight , and that i was knocked unconscious by the earthquake ? marlena : and when you came to , you saw him there . he asked for help , he was locked in the heat , and you walked away . i will never forgive you for that -- never . tony : [ sighs ] = zeegmeeeiee ho there . chloe : brady , i just could n't leave without doing this . brady : oh , i understand , really . craig : chloe , i got everyone here . they 're all accounted for . dr. raeker : i thought i signed you out of here . woman : ca n't tear yourself away ? chloe : not without thanking all of you again . i owe you so much . not only did you treat the leukemia and get me through the transplant , but you treated me like a person , a friend , and that was healing , too , so thank you so much . dr. raeker : it was a team effort -- you and all of us . craig : hey . this is n't goodbye forever , all right ? chloe : yeah , i know , i know . i 'll be back for regular checkups . craig : aw . woman : i 'm going to miss you . congratulations . chloe : thank you . thank you , doctor . dr. raeker : bye , chloe . craig : you want to wheel her ? brady : i got it . craig : and i 'll grab the bag . chloe : bye . thank you . craig : bye , everybody . thanks . chloe : let 's go home . ha ha . brady : ha ha ha ha . tony : do you really think i 'm capable of such a monstrous act ? marlena : for our children 's sake , i was hoping you were different from your father , but i was wrong . you 're one and the same . i will not let rex and cassie follow in your footsteps -- not while i 'm alive . tony : ah . so , marlena , you 're willing to take john 's word as to what happened in the gym . you do n't want to hear my side of the story . marlena : do you deny leaving john alone , trapped in that sauna ? tony : he was n't trapped , as far axdcould tell . he got out . i know i was dazed -- i was knocked out during the earthquake -- but my intention was to go and find the children , make sure they were safe , and if john was left in any kind of danger , he brought it upon himself . marlena : so you want me to believe that my husband is lying to me . tony : well , if his hatred is strong enough against me , he 's capable of anything , is n't he ? john : yeah , something happened last night , all right -- something that made me realize that we will all continue to be in danger unless we do something to break this cycle of evil , and break it now . rex : does this have to do with our father ? john : no . no , it was the earthquake . it was kind of a wake - up call for me , and i 'm sure , a lot of other people also . rex : what do you mean ? john : can we sit down for a second please ? all the people that i love were in danger last night . fortunately , no one was hurt in this earthquake , but ... once again , it made me realize that nothing matters except family , so i have to do all that i can to keep all of you safe . that 's why i want to help free you of this curse we 've inherited from dimera . rex : there is n't any curse ... at least not for us . we have a home , parents who care about us -- john : listen , you can still have all that -- untainted . but you got to play it my way , and i know what i 'm talking about , 'cause i lived under the influence of dimera 's evil for most of my life , and the same thing will happen to you . cassie : how can you be so sure ? john : because of these . john : all three of us have the dimera mark on us . we were branded as his property . now , we did n't have any say about what happened to us back then , but we do now , and i , for one , am going to fight it . you want to join me ? craig : welcome home . ah , look who 's here . nancy : hi , daddy . craig : oh , such a little ... oh . nancy : and look over here . craig : look whose big sis is home . chloe : oh , hi . joy -- oh , i hardly know her . she 's gotten so big . nancy : oh . welcome home , sweetheart . chloe : thank you . it 's so good to be here . craig : ah . chloe : dad . nancy : craig , you are out of control with that thing . craig : stop that . i 'm taking pictures . i do n't care . take off the mask , sweetie . chloe : for real ? craig : take off the mask . it 's safe . come on , come on , come on . chloe : oh , my god , yes . craig : oh , look at the baby . nancy : look , now you can see your big sister . chloe : hi . brady , come here . craig : go o chloe : look how beautiful she is . brady : she has your eyes . chloe : yes , i think so . craig : hey , i want a shot of all you . brady : all right , here we go . craig : okay . smile , little baby joy . nancy : look at your daddy . craig : oh , little cover girl right there . nancy : hey . chloe : hey , mom , may i ?

belle : well , mimi gave me all of her information on mayor shepherd , but there 's really nothing that we can use . shawn - d : i 've got a lead . one of the guys on the baseball team . belle : great . shawn - d : his mom works for the mayor 's office , and insider information reveals that our mayor likes to have lunch at the echelon club . belle : is n't that a strip club ? shawn - d : well , it 's a little bit more high - class than that . i think it 's a `` girls for hire `` kind of place . belle : oh , that 's nice , and i suppose our mayor puts that on his expense account ? shawn - d : well , i 'll let the press do that investigation after i serve him the subpoena . belle : you 're not goi anywhere without me . shawn - d : no , i do n't want you going in the echelon club . belle : shawn , i 'm probably going to have an easier time getting in than you would , especially if they think i 'm looking for a job . shawn - d : do n't do this . rex : i 've had this thing ever since i can remember . it really does n't bother me . john : how about you , cassie ? cassie : sometimes it creeps me out . i mean , it 's ugly , kind of mean - looking . john : then get rid of it . i 'm having my tattoo removed today . i 'm hoping you 'll join me . so what do you say ? you ready to be free or not ? ton i i just want you to know john came by to see me last night . marlena : what ? tony : ah , yes , he broke in , he went past security , he tried to strangle me . yes , yes , so it does n't come as a surprise with his accusations here . marlena : you 're lying . tony : i 'm not lying . there were people here . they saw him , heard him . john was not himself , so i would say that maybe it 's the sauna heat that affected his mind . marlena : that 's ridiculous . tony : yes . marlena : i do n't know why i listen to you . tony : well , maybe because deep in your heart , you still trust me , and that trust is very important to the future of our children and us . and i do n't understand why you would think i would jeopardize that . there 's no rhyme or reason . do n't you see that ? chloe : i 've dreamed about holding her for so long . nancy : i know you have . chloe : she looks kind of sleepy . nancy : mm , well , it 's past her nap time , is n't it ? chloe : are you tired , little sister ? . . oh . nancy : i think i should take her upstairs . say bye - bye . say `` i love you . `` come on . chloe : oh , oh , i love you , too , joy . oh . craig : good girl , good girl . chloe : have a good nap . nancy : see you later , sweetheart . chloe : all right . come on , you . kiss your daddy . okay , come on . chloe : ha ha ha . craig : i 'm sorry , but i , uh ... hospital needs me . got to go . chloe : emergency ? craig : um ... no , but i 'll be back as soon as i can , because nothing is going to keep me away from my three gorgeous women , and i 'm sorry i ca n't be here for the announcement . bye . chloe : what announcement ? what are you up to ? brady : chloe , you remember that list of things you wanted to do before you went into the hospital for your transplant ? chloe : yeah . brady : well , we did n't quite get to the end of that list before joy was born . chloe : well , that 's okay . it was meant to be in case i did n't make it . brady : but i promised you that i would see every last wish granted , and i intend to keep that promise ... right now . rex : john 's right . the phoenix is like a brand . it says our grandfather owns us . cassie : would you give us a minute alone ? john : of course . cassie : if we did n't have them , we 'd be more like our mother and father . rex : shall we do it ? cassie : let 's go tell john . john : you made a decision ? rex : we want to do it . john : wise choice . i 've got it all arranged . let 's go to the hospital . marlena : are you asking me to believe john was hallucinating when he said you tried to kill him ? tony : i 'm just trying to find a rational explanation as to why he keeps attacngng me . listen , i do n't want to fight you . i 'm just terrified john has finally found a way to turn you against me . marlena : well , i 'm terrified of the unending animosity between the two of you . i 'm caught right in the middle , and i hate it . tony : well , i certainly do n't want that . perhaps together , we can find a way of convincing john that i 'm not the enemy my father was . are you willing to try ? marlena : i do n't know . tony : well , please . tony : well , at least we 're talking . maybe something positive has come out of all of this . well , can i offer you a drink -- coffee or something ? marlena : no , no , nothing . thank you .

what 's wrong ? tony : your husband sent you over here to distract me , did n't he ? marlena : what ? tony : yes , he wanted to get his hands on the children . marlena : what was that phone call about ? tony : john is up to something with the twins , and he 's not going to get away with it . i 'm going to do everything i can to stop him . brady : do you remember what the last wish on your list was ? chloe : it does n't matter now . brady : you said that you wanted to sing on a stage . chloe : yeah , and i have the rest of my life to make that happen . brady : well , why wait ? see , what i have in mind may not be a very large stage , but it is the real thing , with an audience . chloe : an audience ? what are you talking about ? brady : part of my new job at titan is to start a music division , and to showcase new talent , i bought the blue note . chloe : wow . just like that ? brady : with titan 's money , of course , but i thought it would be the perfect place totatage your comeback . chloe : what comeback , brady ? i have n't had a career yet . brady : chloe , you have come back from so much more than just a career hiatus . everything you 've gone through will be there , in your music . chloe : maybe someday , but it 's too soon . brady : carpe diem , chloe . everything is set . all you have to do is say yes . craig : thanks . ah , john , sorry to keep you waiting . john : hey , no problem . i appreciate you coming back in . craig : no problem . you all set ? rex : i am . i do n't know about cassie . cassie : would you explain exactly what we 're getting into ? craig : absolutely , once we 're inside . i called ahead from the car to make sure everything was ready , so we can get started . john : let 's do it . craig : okay . shawn - d : it 's not what i was expecting . this place is as tame as a country club . belle : yeah , not exactly . shawn - d : your father 's going to kill me if he finds out i brought you here . belle : you did not bring me here . i came on my own . shawn - d : i do n't see the mayor anywhere . belle : me either . do you think there 's another dining area ? shawn - d : look at mickey muscles over there . belle : he 's mean - looking . shawn - d : he 's protecting something . belle : or someone . shawn - d : what do you want to do ? belle : let me handle it . i can take him . this is no place for abandage ... till now . brady : i just planned on surprisg g you , not knocking you speechless . chloe : well , what do you expect when you ask me to go from hospital isolation to standing in front of a roomful of people ? i 'm going to go check on joy . nancy : honey , i just put her down . she 's sound asleep . besides , we know if she 's fussing -- the baby monitor 's right here . chloe : i just want to look at her , okay ? nancy : of course it 's okay . chloe : i 'll be back . brady : you think i hit her with too much too soon ? nancy : i think she just needs to let it sink in . brady : well , i want her to have as much time as possible to prepare . nancy : i think she 'll be fine , but you know what ? it 's probably a odod thing you did n't tell her everything . if she knew that cecilia marin was coming from juilliard to hear her ... oh , brady , this is her last chance to get into that class . brady : she 'll do it . she 's meant to be at juilliard . nancy : that would be such a miracle , would n't it ? brady : we 've had a lot of those lately . why not just one more ? belle : excuse me , sir . you have to help me . i just got an emergency message , and when i tried to check it , my cell phone died . it could be really important . is there a house phone that i can use ?

allie 's okay ? sami : yeah , no , it 's not about allie . it 's grace and e.j . lucas : you did n't tell him , did you ? sami : how did you know ? lucas : well , because if you told e.j . that you kept a kid from him , that explosion would have been heard throughout town , throughout the land of salem . sami : i know , all right ? so i did n't tell him , and now i 'm telling you not to tell anyone else , all right ? it 's still a secret . lucas : does this have something to do with philip ? sami : you know it does . i mean , i believe what happened with tony was an accident . i know philip . i know he 's not a murderer . lucas : yeah , well , the dimeras do n't agree with you on that one , do they ?

you told chloe ? lucas , you promised me that you would n't tell anyone . lucas : i 'm talking about your friend , the fbi guy -- that guy raffie or raffi . whatever his name is . can he be trusted ?

will : no , no , go ahead . chloe : so , at the real risk of sounding like a cliché of a stepmother , are n't you supposed to be in school ? will : nope , teachers conferences . chloe : ah . well , how 's it going ? how do you like salem high ? will : i do n't mind class too much , but as for the rest of it , like , i do n't know . everyone hangs out in clumps . one clump being really cool . another clump looking down on them for trying to be cool . chloe : well , you 're on the baseball team . you must have a lot of friends , right ? will : that 's my clump . you 're on the baseball team , so you 're considered a jock . no jock ever wanted to talk about a book or something like that . chloe : ah , you may not want to hear this , but you and i actually have a lot in common . i also hated all those cliques . will : oh , come on . you were prom queen . chloe : i had some friends , but i was never really popular , and that whole prom - queen thing was actually kind of a fluke . will : that 's when you were with uncle philip , right ? chloe : yeah , that 's when we met -- sophomore year . will : did you know my dad back then ? chloe : no , not really . he was -- will : really in love with my mom , huh ? lucas : so , this guy , are you guys , uh , you know ?

sami : about grace , yes , we can totally trust him . he just has this thing about e.j . and when i told him that i was thinking about telling e.j . the truth about grace , he flipped out and he -- he almost left town . lucas : imagine that . fbi guy having trouble with e.j . wow . must be the rigid type . sami : he was right , and i was wrong . lucas : so he almost left town . that means he 's still here , right ? sami : right . well , i went to him , and i talked to him and got him to stay and that 's when we had a wonderful time for like a second and then ... lucas : then what ? what happened ? come on , tell me . sami : e.j . happened . lucas : oh , e.j . happened . all right , now i get it . sami : it was one of those wonderful moments in life , you know , like right up there with labor pains . lucas : how 'd it end ? sami : i do n't know . rafe 's not here . lucas , i think i scared him away . kate : no . chelsea : i 've already made up my mind . kate : you have to be here for your school . you have to be here for you career . you have to be here for max , after everything you 've been telling me . chelsea : look , this is my mother we 're talking about . i 'm not just gon na stay here when i know she needs me there . kate : okay , listen to me -- if she 's going to be there as long as we think she is , there 's no way your mother would want you to be putting your life on hold for her like this . chelsea : what about taking care of my mother is putting my life on hold ?

daniel : you know , i really am sorry . chelsea : yeah , it 's just weird because i was just thinking earlier this whole week that i needed to call her , that i needed to call her , and i just kept putting it off because i was getting too busy and things were too important . daniel : yeah , sure , blame yourself . that 'll help . you 're a rotten daughter . this is your punishment . chelsea : i was kind of just wanting to call her to tell her about me and ... daniel : about you and ... chelsea : about max and me . daniel : you 're happy , huh ?

whoa . sami : look , i admit that i can be ... difficult and that i change my mind sometimes , but that still does n't mean that i have the feelings that e.j . says i have , and what does e.j . know about anything anyway ? lucas : you know what ? just back up . rewind , please . i need to get a few things straight in my head . sami : okay , well , it started at the wedding , because -- lucas : because what ? sami : because , as you know , i went to the wedding to tell e.j . that he was grace 's father . lucas : discreet , sami . very discreet . sami : yeah , well , then i found out what stefano and e.j . had planned to do to philip , so i decided not to tell him anything , but i was already there . i 'd already interrupted their wedding , and now e.j . 's wondering why i had interrupted the wedding , and i could n't tell him why , so that 's when e.j . and his huge ego decided that it must be because i wanted to stop him from marrying nicole because i ... had feelings for him . lucas : wow . what a tangled web you weave . amazing . sami : oh , come on . anyone with half a heart would stop someone from marrying nicole . please . it 's like rescuing an animal from a trap . lucas : so now e.j . thinks that you love him . sami : right , and e.j . does n't just think that . he has to announce it to everyone he comes across it seems like , and rafe heard him and then after e.j . left , rafe was all , `` i think we should be honest with each other , `` and then i tried to tell him in no uncertain terms that i am not in love with e.j . , but ... he walked out anyway . lucas : you know what ? i just have one question . when you say that you do n't love e.j . , that you do n't have feelings for him , are you being honest when you say that ? chloe : well , i guess it never matters what we start talking about . it always get around to your mom . will : i 'm sorry . chloe : no , will , i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry that your dad and i got close when you were gone . and he and your mom , yeah , they had allie , but i had nothing to do with breaking them apart . will : well , i know . my mom did . chloe : huh ? will : i mean , watching her in action now , like , `` hey , i adopted a new baby . hey , do you like my bodyguard ? `` i stopped asking myself how he could have left her , and i started wondering how he put up with her for so long . chloe : will , your mom 's been through a lot . will : i know . i just think ... look , i was wrong . my dad 's better off with you . chloe : well , i 'm glad that you think that . will : i mean , he can count on you . that means a lot . sami : no , it 's great . just fantastic . i love it . you know what ? i am not in love with e.j . , lucas , and you know that . lucas : well , one could argue that you 're protesting a little too much . before you found out about philip , you were gon na tell e.j . , were n't you ? you felt compelled to tell him that you guys have another kid together . sami : yeah , but then i did n't , and you should understand that better than anyone , after what i did to you with will . and you 're married to chloe now , right ? does n't stop me from seeing you in will and in allie . and i love what i see . lucas : you think rafe can do that ? you think he can understand about you and e.j . ? sami : the person who does n't understand is e.j . he is such a -- ugh ! -- i just could have killed him . oh , i should n't say that in front of you . lucas : that 's all right . if i were a better shot , you would n't have to deal with any of this , would you ? sami : oh , my god . do n't talk like that , all right ? lucas : ooh , listen to you . defend him , getting a little funny ? are you sure you do n't have feelings for him ? are you sure , you sure , you sure ? sami : yes , i am sure i do n't have feelings for him . he is the father of two of my children , and that is the limit to how i care about him . lucas : better make sure of that . better be careful . make sure history does n't repeat itself . rafe : you want coffee ? arianna : i 'm just gon na take a look at the menu first . well , it 's good to know you have n't changed any . rafe : is that right ? arianna : last night , all that talking , all about me and every question about you or your life just got deflected . rafe : well , what can i say ? my life is boring . arianna : yeah , right . that 's why they make tv shows about witness protection because it 's so boring . rafe : well , in real life , it is , seriously . you still like espresso ? because they make a damn good cup of it here . get you all fired up . arianna : not gon na work , buddy . i talk about witness protection , you talk about espresso ? what is it you do n't want me to know ? is it about the job ? rafe : i gave it up . arianna : witness protection in particular or just this whole fbi thing ? rafe : well ... i 'm not with the agency anymore . arianna : what happened ? rafe : just needed to mix things up . arianna : bull . you were canned . you would never voluntarily leave the agency in a million years . rafe : all right , all right . well , how i handled my last assignment , um , well , we did n't exactly see eye to eye . arianna : you know what 's strange ? my psychic abilities are starting to kick in , and , uh , i 'm getting the strongest impression that your last assignment was young , female , beautiful . rafe : well ... arianna : no . you fell for her , did n't you ? [ laughs ] man , some things never change . rafe : yeah . kate : well , my day just keeps getting worse and worse . chelsea : why ? what 's wrong now ? kate : i called julie to get jen 's number , and she said the two of them are in africa visiting bill , so ... chelsea : um , daniel , do you think that you could call your friend at the hospital in london and tell him that nobody from my mother 's family is gon na be able to make it to her ? daniel : i 'm happy to . she 'll be well taken care of . chelsea : okay , and then also tell him that i 'm gon na try to get there as soon as possible , probably tomorrow . kate : chelsea , please , do n't be stubborn , okay ? no . daniel : i 'll let you two work this out alone . chelsea : he 's really nice . he actually just made me feel a lot better . kate : oh , yeah . he 's very gifted at make women feel better . chelsea : what 's that supposed to mean ? kate : that 's supposed to mean that i am just -- i have so much to do . i need to get busy . i need to pack , and , um , i need to make some business calls . chelsea : grandma -- [ cellphone rings ] kate : hello ? yes , yes , i 'm her mother . oh , my god . no , yes . no , i understand . fr . matt : oh , the second time i 've run into you with a smile on your face . apparently married life agrees with you . chloe : good morning , father . fr . matt : good morning . chloe : i have a question . is it a sin to tell a kid who plays baseball that you 'd love to learn all about it when it 's basically your idea of torture ? fr . matt : [ chuckles ] is that your husband 's son ? no , i do n't think that 's a lie . i think that 's a brilliant idea . chloe : [ chuckles ] fr . matt : so , apparently all the things you were worried about before your wedding -- chloe : it 's been clear sailing . and i think it 's gon na stay that way . sami : are you serious ? do you know how smug you sound saying things like that ? `` oh , well , sami , history 's repeating itself . `` lucas : well , i 'll be smug . if smug mean right , i 'll be smug , fine . sami : he arranged to have philip killed . i could never love someone like that . lucas : maybe love is n't the right word . sami : it 's not . lucas : well , maybe in your mind up here , you know that he 's not right for you and you should n't have feelings for him . sami : if you point at your heart next , i 'm gon na freak out . lucas : i was n't gon na point at my heart . it was a different place than that . i think you know what i mean . sami : are you serious ? lucas : what ? it 's the truth . throughout time , smart humans have made mistakes . you know , they have n't picked the smartest people for them . sami : you 're certainly a textbook example of that . lucas : yeah , i am , especially when i fell for you , right ? sami : are you serious ? lucas : i 'll be quiet . sami : you 'll get out is what you 'll do . lucas : hey , watch it . you trust me , all right ? this is one of the biggest secrets you 've ever had , and you trust me , and i honored that , did n't i ? sami : yeah , you did , lucas . thank you . lucas : and i also , you know , see you in will and allie , and i love what i see . i care about you . i really do , and i do n't want to see you get hurt again . sami : i 'm not gon na get hurt . i 'm not gon na tell e.j . the truth about grace , all right ? i do n't want to have anything to do with him , ever . lucas : you do n't really have a choice , do you ? i mean , allie and johnny are brother and sister . you 're gon na have to run into him . you 're gon na have to be a part of his life . and you 'll still be tempted by him . sami : oh , my god . why would you say something like that ? lucas : because the guy just tried to kill my brother . that 's why . i 'm not gon na let him hurt anybody else i care about . chelsea : and can you please tell her that i will be there as soon as i can ? actually , i 've been training in o.t . , so i think i could probably be of some assistance to the nursing . okay , thank you . i look forward to meeting you . well , i know that it seems bad , but she 's gon na be okay . kate : you were really great on the phone . you were very strong and capable , and i 'm thinking if you want to go to london , you should go . and i 'm gon na come with you . chelsea : grandma , i - i really think that you should stay here , and then when philip fully recovers , you can reconsider . kate : no , i already bought my ticket , so ... chelsea : okay , so you can use it when you do go . i 'm just not comfortable with you leaving him here when he needs you still . kate : i know . he has been through quite an ordeal , has n't he ? chelsea : yeah . and i 'll be with my mom . i 'll be right with her . and i 'll call you every day with an update . i guess i should go tell mark and my supervisor that i 'm going .

[ scene_break ] ej : well , now it all makes sense , all the things that you 've done ... rigging the election ... keeping me in the dark . you said it was a test of my character . stefano : it was , all right ? at the time . i mean , i had every hope that you would be the one to take over the family from me . ej : but then , i do n't understand . stefano : [ sighs ] i did not learn about it until the night of your re - election . ej : right . and since then ... everything you 've done has been because i 'm not your son ? stefano : i 'm terribly , terribly , terribly sorry . obviously , i did not want you to find out like this . i tried to tell you myself , but ... i just could n't bring myself to do it . ej : so ... who is he ? my father . [ scene_break ] bo : if someone were going to detonate this bomb remotely , i think they would have already done it . besides that , there would n't be any reason for the timer . whoever set this up was counting on one of us to detonate it by going out the door , or actually somebody coming in . carrie : do you think that you could disarm it ? john : we wo n't have to . gon na call roman and spencer . have 'em send out the i.s.a . bomb squad . not getting any signal . check your phones , everybody . hope : i 'm not getting anything . carrie : i do n't have a signal . rafe : i 've got nothing . bo : nothing here . marlena : no . john : well , folks , we are obviously being jammed . carrie : okay , so we ca n't communicate with the outside world and we 're trapped in here and we ca n't tell anyone about this bomb that someone could just set off and kill us all , right ? it 's the little things in life that make me smile .

[ scene_break ] rafe : carrie , carrie , relax , all right ? john : do n't worry about it , carrie . we can handle this . bo : john 's right . i mean , as long as we work together , proceed logically , carefully , we 'll be able to disarm it . carrie : what if -- what if you make a mistake and you set it off ? rafe : carrie , hey , hey , hey , no one 's gon na do anything foolish here , all right ? just listen to me . everything 's gon na be fine . carrie : [ hyperventilates ] rafe : i promise you . chill . both : [ grunting ] [ scene_break ] lucas : all right , look , time out . sami : that was some -- woman . lucas : that was really good . sami : just think how good it would be if we actually practiced . lucas : i almost forgot how damn good we were together . sami : it 's been a long time , you know . lucas : yeah .

[ picks up paper ] look , what if -- what if this is n't from alice ? what if it was planted there by bo and hope so they could come between the two of us ? stefano : i thought about that , all right ? i thought about that , i thought about all kinds of possibilities . ej : but , then why ? stefano : lies . it 's -- i have turned over heaven and earth to find out that it was not true . all right ? and i could n't . [ bangs hands together ] ej : but i love you . i respect you . i spent half of my adult life trying to make you proud of me . stefano : you did make me proud , all right ? you made me very proud as if you were my own . ej : but i was your own . i was your son . stefano : please , please , please stop , stop , stop . i know how it breaks your heart . i know ... how it makes you feel .

[ scene_break ] kate : read 'em and weep , sami . sami : what does this mean ? lucas : let me see this for a second . hold on . kate : well , it 's pretty simple . even sami could understand it . the papers prove that the countess w logo and name belong to me . which means , without the name and the reputation , the company that stefano gave you to run is worthless . [ scene_break ] kayla : was that bo ? roman : uh , no . no , i have n't tried to get ahold of bo or hope yet . that was carrie i called . could n't get an answer . kayla : well , maybe she does n't have reception . roman : i think you 're probably right . kayla : well , listen , you let me know as soon as you reach somebody , all right ? roman : i guarantee you , i will . kayla : okay . roman : okay .

[ scene_break ] sami : how could stefano let this happen ? lucas : relax . kate : because he does n't give a damn about you , sami . of course , he does n't give a damn about keeping the company afloat either . all he wants to do is hurt me . so , yes , i have lost everything . but at least i can stop it from benefitting you . lucas : i would n't be too sure about that . kate : oh , come on . would you just give it up ? she 's a lost cause . lucas : i do n't know about that , mom . i got some paperwork of my own . i was looking at that . kate : what paperwork ? lucas : only that i have this . i have a copy of the contract you signed with stefano when he acquired countess w . kate : so what does that have to do with anything ? lucas : a lot , actually . because included in the transfer to dimera were `` all rights , whether now known or hereafter devised , in countess w including , without limitation , all titles , images , properties and patents . `` sami : does that mean what i think it means ? lucas : yeah . yeah . it means my mom 's wrong . stefano owns this company . he 's got it lock , stock ... name and logo . yeah , he owns the company , all right . he can do whatever he wants with it . and , uh , i guess that means ... same for you . you can do whatever you want with it too . kate : [ sighs ] sami : so i think it 's time for you to leave , kate . lucas : no , wait a second . hold on , i want to -- i want to tell you something first . [ scene_break ] spencer : roman , i 'm glad you called . i wanted to let you know that my boss is on his way down here to take over the operation . roman : why is that ? spencer : well , he has a personal interest in being here when stefano goes down . and we both wanted to thank you for making that possible . roman : hey , it 's been a team effort . when stefano goes down , you 'll deserve a lot of credit too . spencer : thanks , roman . but i 'm sure you 're not calling to start a mutual appreciation society . roman : i wish i was . but i 'm getting a feeling that something 's not quite right , up at the safe house . spencer : what is it ? roman : i do n't know . i tried everybody 's cell phone , i ca n't get ahold of anybody . spencer : bad reception in the area ? roman : well , i hope that 's all it is . spencer : hold on . i 'll get into this right now .

[ chuckles ] eric , you 're going to heroic lengths to keep this vague . so maybe i 'll just flat - out ask this instead . how much does your hesitation about vargas have to do with nicole ? [ scene_break ] vargas : i thought you quit , nicole . nicole : i did . but father eric and i worked things out , so now i 'm back . i 'm surprised you did n't know that . vargas : no . so i guess you and i , we -- we just agree to stay out of each other 's way , right ? nicole : one more thing , though . do n't you think we should chat about that call i walked in on ? 'cause i sure do . [ scene_break ] nick : hey , rafe . i do n't -- i do n't have a ton of time . i 'm working , so -- rafe : i talked to gabi a little while ago . nick : okay . rafe : i do n't like the way she sounded . nick : why ? gabi and i are -- are great . we 're -- we 're waiting for the baby , and -- rafe : no , she 's upset about you . nick : why do you say that ? rafe : [ chuckles ] listen to me , nick . i 'm gabi 's brother , but i 'm also a cop , so i know a dodge when i see one . nick : gabi is my world . i 'm doing everything i can to protect her . rafe : protect her ? protect her from what ? i 'll be right back . [ scene_break ] abe : you know , the reason i ask about nicole is i happened to see a kind of intense moment between her and vargas earlier . eric : well , you know what ? they work close together . i guess it 's bound to happen . abe : okay . i hear you . hey , you gon na be over at the church a little later today ? eric : yeah , yeah , yeah . abe : well , i 'm gon na head over to the police station . i 'm doing some consulting work there . i wo n't be long , but can i drop by the rectory and show you some of the things i received from the donors ? eric : of course . i should be there all afternoon . it should be quiet . [ scene_break ] vargas : what is it you wan na talk about , nicole ? huh ? what do you think that you heard ? nicole : a con . oh , and by the way , your little eddie haskell act with father eric ? it 's as transparent as a glass of water . vargas : oh , damn . so you can see right through me now , huh ? nicole : yeah , i can , and i think the real you is the guy i heard on the phone call right there making demands , hinting that things wo n't go well if you do n't get what you want . vargas : well , i sure know what you want , nicole , and that 's to cause trouble . nicole : oh , yeah , there it is , turning it on me . well , you are highly mistaken if you think father eric is falling for your pathetic little act any more than i am . oh , and if i detect that father eric 's a little slow on the uptake this time , i 'll be sure to get him up to speed . vargas : what are you gon na tell him ? huh ? and think hard about what you 're gon na say , nicole , very hard . nicole : are you threatening me ? [ scene_break ] sami : okay , fine . obviously , stealing nick fallon 's money does n't help anything . ej : obviously not , samantha . now he has $ 30,000 to hold over your head . sami : i 'll sneak back in his room . i 'll put it back , okay ? ej : absolutely -- you will not do that . you will not . promise me , please ? sami : okay , i promise . ej : you do understand how risky that is ? look , i - i -- samantha , i 'd rather you took all the money and spent it than do that . i 'll tell you what , here 's an idea . why do n't you take all that money down to the bank and have them change it into $ 1 bills . and then you 'll have a lifetime supply of tips for your strip clubs . sami : kristen told you about that , huh ? it served a purpose . ej : yeah . so i heard . sami : ej , come on . it was for a noble cause . ej : indeed . no , i appreciate everybody going to cameron 's rescue including your ex , who i gather was one of the stars of the show . is that why you did n't tell me about him ? [ scene_break ] nick : it 's just an expression , rafe , all right ? i 'm just -- i 'm trying to express to you how deep my feelings are for gabi , and i 'm frustrated because i should n't have to do that anymore . rafe : right . yeah . well , when i saw gabi , she had just seen will . nick : so ? rafe : nick . please . you know , i - i just have the feeling that gabi feels as though she is caught between you and will because you are not comfortable with him spending time with his baby . nick : what do you want from me , rafe ? rafe : i wan na understand why , why you did not want him to be with his own child . nick : why are you so damn protective of will ? i 'm married to gabi . rafe : mm - hmm . nick : i 'm your brother - in - law . i 'm the one who 's gon na be raising your niece . what is will to you anyway ? he 's just a ... [ exhales ] rafe : just a ... a what ? nick : fine . you want me to say what i think will is ? [ laughs ] i think it would be easier to say what i think he 's not , which is a good person . rafe : [ laughs ] well , i 've known will for a long time , and i think we both know that 's not true . nick : really ? rafe : mm - hmm . nick : does -- does a good person go and -- and take advantage of a girl that he used to date because he 's feeling sexually confused ? and then -- and then , when he gets her pregnant , go out and rush her out to get an abortion because -- because he thinks that it 's gon na ruin his relationship -- rafe : look , you 're twisting the truth . you see that ? you know it . i know it . nick : rafe , you 've been on the offensive since i got here . what am i supposed to do , just -- just deny everything that 's right in front of my face ? rafe : no , you 're supposed to get your act together and look after my sister . but instead , you 're running around . you are wasting time and energy trying to get will out of the picture . and ultimately , it is hurting my sister . she comes first . do n't mess this up , okay ? nick : i would never do that . and i do n't know how many more ways i can say that to you for you to hear it and finally believe it . [ door slams shut ] kate : wow , that seemed to go awfully well . [ scene_break ] sami : wow , i 'm impressed at how smoothly you managed to work rafe into the conversation . and if i did n't know better , i 'd think you were jealous . except i do . i do know better . i know you better . and i know you know that samantha brady only has eyes for ej dimera . and i proved it by putting this on my finger . ej : let me tell you something . if i was jealous , you would know . sami : [ chuckles ] you know , actually , it 's sort of an interesting thing to point out that rafe found out about our engagement that night . ej : he did ? sami : mm - hmm . ej : what did he say ? how did he take it ? sami : hm . i did n't notice . sort of distracted by other things . ej : yeah , maybe all those half - naked men dancing around . sami : [ laughs ] i do n't know what you 're talking about . ej : no . sami : i was busy texting my fiancé , begging him to come home to me . [ scene_break ] rafe : i asked him some questions . he got anxious , defensive . when he did , he started to say that he 's -- kate : what ? what did he start to say ?

'cause as far as you 're concerned , your friends can do no wrong , but i 'm a liar . brady : how about admitting that none of this would 've happened if you 'd told us about liam sooner , hmm ? theresa : how about admitting that no one would 've believed me ? how about admitting that everyone in this town is against me , including you ? i mean -- god , brady , you know , i thought -- i really thought that you were on my side here . brady : theresa , my god . i am . i am on your side if you 're completely honest with me . theresa : [ scoffs ] listen to yourself . you still want me to admit that i did something that i did n't . you know it 's not true . i already told you everything . brady : so you are positive that when we catch this liam guy and we ask him whether or not he had any help , you 're gon na be in the clear ? jennifer : are you all right ? no , stay right here . no , i 'm gon na hold you right here . please , do n't move . nicole : okay , um , listen . we have to find something to stop the bleeding . jenn , could you put some pressure on it , please ? daniel , i am so sorry . daniel : it 's okay . look , it 's okay . jennifer : it 's not okay . you 're hurt . you 've been shot , for goodness ' sake . daniel : no , we need to see if liam -- nicole : okay , no , no , no . you ca n't help anyone if you pass out , all right ? let me see . let me see . daniel : no , no . nicole : daniel , i 'm so sorry . daniel : no , the bullet just scratched the surface . it 's fine . it 's just a flesh wound . jennifer : are you sure ? let me look at it , please . daniel : oh , we need to see if there 's something we can do for liam . jennifer : what ? nicole : what ? daniel : please , let me go . nicole : for the guy who tried to kill us , all of us ? jennifer : stop moving . daniel : look , i am a doctor . jennifer : you are hurt . daniel : no , it 's the shock . i just blacked out for a few minutes . jennifer : no , you are not going anywhere , and i mean it . nicole : okay . daniel : [ groans ] nicole : all right . look , i 'll -- jennifer : hold on , stop . nicole : i 'll check his pulse . but from the look of it , i mean , no one could survive that . jennifer : please be careful . nicole : no kidding . guy 's like a zombie . he just keeps coming back . jennifer : all right , can you sit up ? daniel : okay . jennifer : okay , sit like that . come on this way . nicole : well ... jennifer : do n't move . okay . nicole : he looks dead . that 's good news all around , right ? [ gasps ] liam : you lying ... bitch ! [ coughs ] jj : well , paige , um , i just -- i just did n't see it working out for very long , so ... bev : yeah . she is so stuck on herself . like , never passes a mirror without smiling , right ? jj : you know what , hey , it 's just you and me tonight . so let 's stick with that , okay ? bev : sure . is anybody else home ? jj : no . bev : okay , well , then , you know , maybe we could just skip going out and hang out here . jj : yeah . i just do n't know when abigail 's coming back home . and my mom and daniel , they just might show up . so let 's just go out , you know . so when they 're here , they 're alone . bev : okay . jj : come on . daniel : nicole , how 's he doing ? nicole : [ exhales ] liam : [ gasps ] jennifer : hold on . liam : [ gasping ] you covered up about ... that priest ... to chyka . jennifer : oh , gosh . nicole : ugh ! jennifer : daniel . what are you doing ? you 're gon na start bleeding again . daniel ! please . daniel : no , no , no , it 's okay , it 's okay . jennifer : be careful . liam : [ coughs ] nicole : let 's forget him . he 's almost dead . daniel : well , the branch probably ruptured his aorta . jennifer : oh , god . liam : tell them ... about you . daniel : okay , you just ... you need to stop talking . nicole : yeah . shut the hell up . liam : jenn , jenn . why could n't you love me ? why ... [ coughs ] did you have to be like the others ? why ? jennifer : [ crying ] i 'm so sorry . liam : [ coughs ] not as sorry ... as -- as you 're gon na be . [ coughs ] theresa : sure you do n't want one ? brady : positive . let 's talk about liam frazer . theresa : imagine the trouble you could cause for daniel and little jenny if you could get into his apartment whenever you wanted . [ exhales ] brady : i say his name , and your hand shakes . theresa : look , i 'm nervous ! okay ? liam 's a psycho , and if he hears that i 'm the one that sicced the cops on him , then he 's gon na come after me . brady : odds are he 's gon na be caught in a couple hours , theresa . theresa : well , that makes me feel so much better . and then when he gets out on bail , he 's still gon na come after me . and you know , you just -- you keep looking at me like i did something , and honestly , brady , i really -- i really thought you were the one person in this whole town who was on my side . brady : theresa , i am . theresa : no , you 're not . you still think i 'm hiding something . brady : well , if you are , here 's your chance to come clean . jennifer : daniel . hope : oh , my -- jennifer . jennifer : oh , hope . nicole : oh , eric , thank god you 're here . hope : daniel , you okay ? daniel : oh , yeah , i will be . i 'll be fine . eric : i was so worried . i was just praying that you would be all right . hope : what happened ? jennifer : daniel and liam were fighting , and he fell . and he just could n't stop himself and -- hope : daniel , how bad are you bleeding ? daniel : oh , the bleeding stopped . nicole tried to shoot liam . the bullet accidentally grazed me . a few stitches , i 'll be fine . it 's -- hope : find where you can get a clear signal and cancel the backup . we need a hospital medevac , and tell forensics to step on it . right . jennifer : hope , he admitted everything . he 's the one who drugged daniel . he planted drugs in his apartment . he 's the one who 's been harassing me at the hospital . hope : yeah , we were at his place earlier . we found evidence he was bugging daniel 's apartment . jennifer : what ? hope : there were also several photos of you . nicole : the guy 's a maniac . he was about to shoot jenn when i showed up . jennifer : oh , gosh . this is his . this is his gun . hope : try not to touch it too much . jennifer : and if it were n't for nicole , we would n't even be alive right now . nicole : no . no , jenn . i failed as a hero . if it were n't for daniel , we 'd both be dead . daniel , i am so sorry i shot you , i 'm sorry . daniel : okay , i think there 's a moratorium on `` i 'm sorrys . `` hope : let 's get the facts while they 're still fresh , okay ? let 's go up here . nicole , i 'll talk to you in a second . nicole : sure . jennifer : oh . nicole : oh , god . eric : my god , i just ca n't believe i almost lost you . nicole : you would have if it had n't been for daniel . eric : what i do n't understand is why you came out here alone . liam : you think i went to the trouble to paste those kristen papers back together , then left them there , where my ex - wife could find them any time she wanted to ? no , sweetheart . that stuff 's right here . nicole : um ... can we talk about this later ? eric : yeah . yeah , yeah . understood . you 're still upset ? nicole : you know what i do need ? i need my purse , and i left it back at the cabin . eric : okay , do n't move . i 'll get it . nicole : okay . hope : what are you doing ? nicole ? jj : so how many letters have you gotten so far ? bev : [ laughs ] just one . salem u. i mean , they probably would 've turned me down . my grades are , like , nonexistent , but my dad pulled some strings , so i 'm in . jj : good , good . i got my acceptance letter today . bev : really ? jj : mm - hmm . bev : that is great . jj : yeah . yeah , it is . you know , especially since i spent so many years in london at that boarding school . bev : i get it . stick close to home . jj : right , yeah . i 'm just sort of reconnecting with my family , you know . bev : sure . hey , rory -- he got wait - listed . i mean , if he gets in , we could be like the three musketeers again . except we 'd only have , like , three or four classes instead of high school . jj : well , i think the classes will be a little harder , bev . bev : no , seriously , we can just skate through . you buy your papers online , and when it comes to taking tests , you go to this website where , like , everyone has -- nicole : what am i doing ? i - i -- i thought liam moved . hope : you thought he 'd come back to life ? nicole : well , i 'm not an expert on dead bodies , okay ? but he 's still dead . hope : this is a crime scene . do n't touch anything . nicole : yeah , sure . hope : okay , can i get your statement now ? nicole : mm - hmm , i guess . hope : why 'd you come up to smith island ? nicole : why did i -- for the same reason as everyone else . i was worried about jenn . daniel : you knew about liam ? that he was a threat ? nicole : uh ... yeah . daniel : well , how did you know that ? i mean before anybody else did ? theresa : you 're never gon na believe that i 'm telling the truth , so you can just leave now . brady : i do n't want to leave . i 'm not trying to judge you . theresa : i 've already told you , i did n't do anything wrong , okay ? look , yes . i could 've told daniel about liam sooner , and i tried . but he did n't make it easy . i mean , he treated me like i was a lying piece of garbage , kind of like you 've been doing this whole night . brady : all i 've done is ask you to tell me the truth . that 's it . theresa : yeah , over and over and over again , when really , i 'm not involved . [ cell phone trills ] brady : the police found liam frazer . i guess it 's all gon na come out now . nicole : well , um ... i ran into liam a few times , you know . and ... i -- well , you know , he -- oh , thank you . thank you for this . look , can we just all go down to the docks or something ? hope : no , let 's just finish this first , okay ? did liam make any threats ? jennifer : nicole ... she was investigating him for her tv show , i 'm sure . nicole : right , yes . jennifer : i mean , she 'd even talked to his ex - wife . nicole : yeah . debra . it seems that liam was dumped by the love of his life , and he spent the rest of his life trying to find a replacement . and i guess debra looked a lot like his old flame . and then he got weird , and she divorced him . and then debra told me that jennifer looked exactly like his ex . hope : why did n't you call the police ? nicole : well , 'cause i just started piecing everything together . and i talked to maggie , and she said jenn was already on her way , and i tried calling her , and i swear i heard liam 's voice in the background . hope : then you should 've called the police . nicole : well , i tried to , but then i was already on the ferry over here , and i had lousy reception . daniel : okay , well , thank god she made it out . if she had n't come -- jennifer : yes , we would n't even be having this discussion . hope : yeah , it 's great that you came , but i 'm still a little lost here . why 'd you suspect liam enough ? i mean , what -- why ? nicole : let 's put it this way . i know there 's no way that daniel would use drugs . so who do i run into in the elevator at daniel 's apartment ? liam . and he tells me some story that he has some secret affair going on with another doctor in the building . so i checked the story out , right ? totally bogus . hope : so you saw liam by daniel 's apartment , and you discovered that his alibi was a lie , and it still never dawned on you to call the police ? daniel : okay , just take it easy . she did n't have any proof . i mean , a reporter has to be careful about lawsuits . detective , the medevac 's coming in , and forensics is 15 minutes out . hope : okay , great . thanks . that 's it for now . the chopper will land by the dock . you guys head that way . nicole , we 'll finish later . nicole : okay . jennifer : come on . let 's go . eric : hey . do n't worry . he 's not gon na hurt you anymore . want a fiber that 's clearly healthy ? bev : hey , if you want to go somewhere else , i am totally down for that . jj : um -- no . no , no . we 're good . my cousin sonny owns this place , so , you know , support the family . bev : right . got it . do you think he could at least slip us some booze ? jj : um , you know , i do n't think sonny 's working today . and i would n't ask anyway 'cause he has a license to protect , you know . but if you 're thirsty , i can -- i can get us some sodas . bev : no , no , i 'm fine . i - i -- jj : well , you know , you know , no , actually i want one . so i 'll be right back . paige : [ sighs ] i do n't get it , jj . jj : what ? paige : why are you so mad at me ? everything was great with us . then i tell you i 'm going to stanford this fall , and you get all weird . jj : i 'm not mad or weird . paige : could 've fooled me . i mean , it 's not like i kept it secret . as soon as i found out i made it off the wait list , i told you . why 'd you blow up ? jj : i - i did n't . okay , here 's how i see it , okay ? i mean , why put a whole lot of time into getting to know someone when she 's just going to disappear in the next few months , seriously ? and if there 's no future , then just move on . paige : so you 're just not gon na talk to me ? jj : no , of course . it 's -- i mean , we 're cool . paige : yeah . right . you know what really sucks ? i had fun when i was with you . when we got together , it meant something ... to me . obviously not to you . abigail : oh , it 's my mom . finally . there you are . we 've been trying to get ahold of you . what ? right . okay , yeah , we 'll be right there . maggie : what happened ? abigail : okay , i do n't want you to get upset , but everyone is all right . maggie : okay . abigail : but we have to go to the hospital . maggie : oh . that does n't sound good . daniel : ah , hey , there . jennifer : hey . what 'd they say ? daniel : well , 14 stitches , antibiotic regimen ... jennifer : what ? daniel : bandage , and a new scar , new shirt . got it out of my locker . how was your checkup ? jennifer : it was great . i just have a couple of bruises . but i think nicole 's gon na need some x - rays . daniel : yeah . jennifer : thank god you 're okay . i mean , when i heard that gun go off and i saw you lying there bleeding -- daniel : hey , hey . when i got out to the island and i saw your cabin a mess , i went out of my mind . jennifer : i still ca n't figure out how you knew i was in trouble . i mean , how did you know it was liam ? eric : i wish you would 've told me you suspected liam frazer . i mean , i was never sold on the idea that you thought theresa was the one who drugged daniel , but still . nicole : okay , but next time , you 'll be the first to know , okay ? eric : good , 'cause i 'm gon na hold you to it . you know , people never really give you the credit you deserve , always helping your friends , totally being selfless . nicole : no , no . not -- not really . eric : you saved jennifer 's life , do n't you remember ? nicole : well , she saved mine . and i still ca n't believe i grabbed that gun and almost killed daniel . eric : hey , hey . he said he was fine . nicole : could you go check on him and make sure ? i 'm really scared it 's worse than what they 're saying . eric : yeah , sure . i 'll be right back . [ door closes ] nicole : liam . all right . where is that damn picture ? oh , god . it 's gone now . maybe not . [ cracking phone ] nicole : [ exhales ] [ taps phone ] okay , definitely gone . now if i just knew what liam did with the real letter . daniel : well , theresa suspected liam for some time now , but she kept it to herself . theresa : because i did n't have any proof . daniel : but today , she finally told us what she knew , which is why eric and i headed out to smith island . brady : and hope was n't far behind . she had broken into liam 's room and realized what was going on . jennifer : yeah . i - i thought liam had me trapped out there , and ... then nicole showed up and then you . theresa : all i know is the guy was a creep , okay ? i 'm surprised you did n't pick up on that yourself . i mean , for god 's sakes , you dated him . so what happened ? is liam in jail ? daniel : liam did n't survive . he and i fought , he pulled himself free , and he fell onto a sharp branch , and he died . theresa : [ sighs ] well , good . look , the guy was out there trying to kill people , right ? i 'm just saying he got what he deserved . abigail : mom ! maggie : daniel ! jennifer : my baby . maggie : what happened ? abigail : oh , my god . jennifer : mm . jj : hey , i never said that it was n't fun hanging out with you . it was , definitely . paige : then why not see where things go ? why cut me out like that ? jj : well -- i do n't -- i do n't know . i do n't -- paige : forget it . you just needed an excuse to dump me . and you got it . i just wish you 'd been up front with me . jj : no , paige , i did n't -- bev : so sorry to interrupt , guys , but , jj , you got a missed call and text from your mom . jj : what ? bev : well , i just figured you should call her back or something , so she does n't worry about you . how are you , paige ? paige : fine , thanks . jj : oh , no freaking way . abigail : oh , my god , i remember now , mom . liam came by the house once when you were n't there , and jj said that he was acting weird , but i did n't even pick up on it . i should 've paid more attention . then i could 've at least warned you . jennifer : honey , this is hardly your fault . liam is really good at fooling people . abigail : god , you must have been so scared , mom . you were out there all alone . jennifer : i was pretty scared . and if it were n't for nicole and then daniel , i would n't even be here . abigail : god , mom . i 'm so glad you 're okay . thank god . i do n't know what i would 've done if i lost you . i love you . jennifer : i love you , baby . but listen , it 's okay . everything 's okay now . abigail : yeah . [ indistinct chatter ] maggie : i still ca n't believe that theresa did n't say something earlier or nicole . daniel : well , they had no proof , and the main thing is , we made it , we 're fine . maggie : well , i 'm still not . i just ca n't believe that -- daniel : [ groans ] maggie : oh . uh - oh . uh - oh . are you hurt ? daniel : okay , do n't be upset . but i had a little run - in with a bullet tonight . maggie : what ? nicole : maggie ... it 's -- it 's my fault . daniel and liam were fighting . liam had a gun . daniel knocked it out of his hand . of course i wanted to help , so i picked it up , and i pointed it at them . daniel : and the bullet grazed me . maggie : you shot my son ? daniel : okay , mom , you see me standing right here . they checked me out . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . nicole : i 'm sorry . daniel , i know you keep telling me to stop apologizing , but i ca n't . i feel awful . i never wanted to hurt you . you mean so much to me . daniel : okay , nicole , listen to me . you are about the best friend anybody could ask for , you hear me ? there 's no way you tried to hurt me . you have to let that go , okay ? i do want to ask you one favor , though . nicole : what ? daniel : yeah , could you have rafe take you down to the shooting range , so you can practice your aim ? [ laughter ] nicole : well , at least you 're not mad at me . hope : hey , guys . brady : hope . hope : hey , brady . brady : hey , any news ? hope : well , so far , forensics has managed to do a complete search of liam 's belongings -- everything he had on him plus what was in his apartment , and they found a few , well , let 's just say very interesting things . trying to stay fit but miss real pleasure ? brady : hope , did any of the evidence they found point to liam possibly having an accomplice ? hope : there 's plenty to link him to the drugs , stalking jennifer , but it looks like he was acting alone . there was a slew of recordings on his laptop . jenn , i 'm sorry to have to tell you this , but he did n't just bug daniel 's apartment . he had listening devices in your place too . abigail : oh , my god . jennifer : what ? hope : there is one thing we did find in frazer 's possessions that was absolutely incriminating -- it was a key . on a hunch , i tested it . it went to your apartment , daniel . daniel : well , that figures . that 's why i ordered my locks changed . but i ca n't just -- i ca n't fathom how he got his hands on the key , though . liam : what 's that ? theresa : key to dr. dan 's apartment . hope : i have forensics checking it for prints . we might still get lucky . nicole : and that 's it ? nothing else ? no paper trail ? hope : nope , that 's it . no , that 's it . daniel : all right , well , then , you know what ? i think we should get out of here and go home . do you need anything else from us ? hope : no , no . if i need to follow up , i 'll call you . theresa : hey , hey , hey . before everyone leaves , there 's something i have to say . paige : what 's wrong ? bev : jj ? jj : it 's -- i 'm not sure yet . but i think everything 's okay . it 's just so -- bev , i 've got ta go . bev : yeah , sure , it 's fine . we can meet up tomorrow or the next day . just do what you got ta do . go . jj : right , i 'll see you . paige : the rest is for you . thanks . bev : hang on a second . we 're gon na get something straight . theresa : [ sighs ] jennifer , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry that i did n't tell anyone about liam sooner . maybe this whole thing could 've been avoided . well , actually i did try to tell daniel . but ... i should 've tried harder , no matter how nasty he was being . i just hope that you can find a way to forgive me . thanks . well , at least now everyone knows that i was n't the one who was trying to hurt you and daniel . really is terrible , being accused of something you did n't do . jennifer : theresa , i owe you an apology . i did n't mean to blame you , and i am sorry . theresa : okay , well , it 's over and done with . brady : why do n't i take you home , all right ? theresa : sure . nicole : see you later , guys . abigail : you do n't really trust her now , do you ? jennifer : no , i do n't . but i do n't want to think about her right now because starting tomorrow morning , i want to make sure that daniel 's name is cleared and everyone in this hospital knows exactly what happened . because the sooner he is performing surgery again , the better . maggie : absolutely . daniel : well , i can live with that . maggie : [ laughs ] jennifer : and ... i want to thank you again . nicole : i should be thanking you . jennifer : mm - mm . no . you are a great friend to both of us . eric : yeah , she 's an angel . bev : jj and i are really close . and , sure , okay , when a pretty , little thing walks by , he 's got eyes . might even give her , like , 15 minutes . but then he comes home to me because i give him something other girls ca n't or wo n't . now , whatever you had going on with jj is obviously over , so it 's time for you to leave him alone . if you do n't , you will be sorry . paige : [ scoffs ] jennifer : mm . jj : so you 're okay ? you were n't hurt or anything ? abigail : aside from almost dying , you mean ? jj : well , i came as soon as i read the text . abigail : yeah , but you sure took your sweet time . what took you so long ? what were you doing ? jennifer : no , never mind . you 're here , okay . we 're all here . i am so happy to be with both of you right now . daniel : okay , chloe , chloe , everything is fine . i 'm fine . yeah . no , we 'll get into it more tomorrow . yes , i will call you first thing in the morning . i miss hearing his little voice . all right , okay . bye . jj : hey , man . from what i hear , we all owe you big - time . daniel : yeah ? yeah ? well , do n't think i wo n't collect , pal .

[ baby crying ] xander : lovely . really nice digs , guys . bit of a step down from the mansion , though . nicole : how did you find us ? xander : i followed your exploits on the news . i have to say , nicole , i 'm rather disappointed in you . to think you could actually pull this off ? nicole : we were so careful . xander : clearly not careful enough . surely i 'm not the only one who 's on your trail . i 'm just the one who got here first . nicole : okay , xander . you listen to me . i will give you anything you want . just leave holly with brady and tate , please . xander : anything i want ? well , that is an enticing offer . nicole : okay , well , i -- we need to call for help . brady is gon na die ! xander : you think i give a damn ? nicole : he 's your family . xander : after the way they treated me ... i have no family . now let 's go . brady : [ groans ] xander : i could just finish this right now , you know . but that would be too easy . i 'd rather you suffer . go . nicole : no ! xander : [ grunts ] nicole : no ! brady : [ grunts ] nicole : brady ! dario : so you gon na call chad ? abigail : i already did . sort of . [ chuckles ] dario : how do you `` sort of `` call someone ? abigail : oh , i dialed his number and realized it was a mistake and hung up . dario : and why was it a mistake ? abigail : because i ca n't keep changing my mind , dario . i ended the marriage , so it 's over , and it 's better for both of us that way . dario : sounds like you 're trying pretty hard to convince yourself of that . abigail : [ sighs ] whatever . [ chuckles ] dario : i am your friend , abigail . and i just want you to be happy . you know that . okay . look , i do n't give a damn what happens to chad . but i do care about you . and right now , you look really unhappy . are -- are you sure you -- you want to move on ? abigail : i do n't want to . [ chuckles ] but i have to . dario : abigail , i -- abigail : look , gabi and i have been friends forever . i know when she 's really into a guy , and this eli thing , whatever it is , is just a rebound . she 's only using him as a distraction so she can forget about chad , but it 's not gon na work . dario : you do n't -- you do n't know that . abigail : i do , because this was n't like this is some passing infatuation . their feelings were strong enough that it ruined my marriage . dario : no . you did that . abigail : because i 'm not stupid . i can see that they have a connection . okay , chad and i ? we never had a connection like that . we could n't , because i always needed him to save me , because i was a damsel in distress , whereas gabi -- gabi has always been his true equal . dario : do n't say that -- abigail : i ca n't just give myself this false sense of hope that my marriage is gon na work out when it 's not . i let chad go . i love him enough to do that , because i know deep down that gabi is his true better half . and you know , whether they wind up together or not , i deserve to be loved by somebody with their whole heart . [ dramatic music ] gabi : well , eli and i are none of your business . chad : right . no , i 'm not trying to pry . i 'm just trying to , uh , be a friend . gabi : we 're not friends , chad , remember ? chad : well , i mean , come on , i was just -- gabi : i know you 're trying to be a good husband , so just continue to do that . stay away . just do n't make this harder on me , please . go .

[ footsteps approaching ] eli : [ exhales ] it 's nice when you can put fires out at work without actually having to go to work . i 'm all yours . what 'd you have in mind ? gabi : sorry ? eli : well , you suggested that we go someplace where we could be alone . gabi : oh , um ... yeah , maybe that 's , um , not such a good idea . eli : wait , now -- i 'm not trying to pressure you -- gabi : no , i know . eli : this was your idea . gabi : i know that 's what i said , but i -- eli : you were -- [ chuckles ] you were trying to make chad jealous . look , i 'm fbi . it does n't take a crime solver to figure that out . gabi : i 'm sorry , eli . i do like you a lot . i guess i just need more time to get over him . eli : [ softly ] hey . do n't worry about it . gabi : look , if you want to cut our date short , i understand . i know i 'm not the best company right now . eli : gabi ... you 're great company , and i think you should know that i am a very patient man .

'cause you pretended like you did n't know how to dance , and then i gave you dance lessons . dario : did -- did i -- did i -- did i do that ? abigail : yeah . [ laughs ] dario : i 'm sorry . i -- i feel -- i do feel bad about that . abigail : you know , i wish i would have known that you had feelings for me back then . i just ... i hope that i did n't lead you on . i really hope i 'm not doing that right now . dario : no , no , no , you 're not -- you 're not doing that . i mean , you 've made it very clear that we 're friends . and i mean , i -- i do wish we were more , but ... the other day , i just want you to be happy . abigail : back at you . dario : hmm ? [ glasses clink ] [ dario and abigail laughing ] [ dramatic music ] xander : nicole 's even feistier than i remember . she put up quite a fight . deimos : where is she now ? xander : resting peacefully in the trunk of my car . deimos : tell me you did n't hurt her . xander : of course not . a little chloroform , and she was out . deimos : and what about brady ? xander : he might need a little bit more attention . i had no choice but to shoot him . deimos : now , is n't that a shame . xander : he is probably drawing his last breath as we speak . deimos : well , i guess collateral damage was always to be expected . i 'm just pleased that things are working according to plan . although there may have to be some minor adjustments due to our unexpected guests . xander : guests ? deimos : mm - hmm . sonny and paul . xander : your nephew 's here ? deimos : it 's all right . i 'm not worried about them . if you ask me , everything 's falling into place quite nicely . xander : well , it 's been a long time in the making , that 's for sure . deimos : mm . and quite brilliant , if i do say so myself . putting you on that barge to greece after the siege . convincing everyone that i shot you , that you were lost at sea ... [ laughing ] i still ca n't believe that everybody bought that . i 'm starting to think that the name `` salem `` is synonymous with `` gullible . `` [ both laugh ] deimos : to say something else to you , xander ... i was n't sure about my decision with you at first , but you have proven yourself to be a valuable , loyal employee . xander : so what 's next ? deimos : well , the original plan was that i was gon na rescue nicole from you here in canada . but now that the cavalry has arrived , we 're gon na have to have a change of venue . xander : where are we going ? deimos : i want you to take nicole and holly to your private island in greece . i 'm not sure of the time frame yet , but what 'll happen eventually is this : i 'm gon na track you all down , and i 'm going to save nicole and her dear holly . that will in turn win me her heart . simple as that . xander : sounds like a good plan ... deimos : mm - hmm . xander : there is one potential problem . deimos : oh , really ? and what 's that ? xander : well , from what i saw this evening , nicole is head over heels in love with brady . [ baby crying over monitor ] sonny : oh , my god ! paul : brady ! okay , he 's still alive . sonny : okay . all right , uh -- i 'm gon na -- i 'll go get -- i 'll go to tate ! paul : all right . stay with me , man . stay with me , brady . [ phone beeping ] brady : [ gasps ] paul : i need an ambulance . quick ! [ dramatic music ] deimos : well , i guess i should n't be surprised . it was clear to me that brady was in love with nicole . and after he upended his life to go on the run with her , of course she confused gratitude with love . xander : yeah , well , the only other warm - blooded creature she 's seen around these parts is probably a moose . i imagine the lack of options would enhance brady 's appeal . deimos : he 's not right for her , and she knows it . the only reason she fell in love with him is because , well , for now , he 's her hero . and in short time , that 's gon na be me . you know , the funny thing is , maggie 's the one that made me realize that that was the only way to win her back . xander : you know , i do have one small concern in all of this . deimos : all right . what 's that ? xander : if you 're so willing to let brady die ... does that mean i 'm expendable too ? deimos : if i wanted to get rid of you , xander , that would have happened the first time around . there 's something you need to know about me . i value loyalty above all else . that 's what 's most important to me . brady betrayed that loyalty when he went after my fiancée . xander : you do n't have to worry about that with me . i despise the woman . deimos : yeah , i know . i get that . but you 'll be wise not to harm her . if i find out in any way that you compromised our agreement , you can be sure that i will turn against you . i want to make sure that nicole and holly are safe and sound when i come to rescue them . is that understood ? xander : i hear you loud and clear . [ devices beeping ] paul : brady . brady , hey , hey . hey , it 's paul . i 'm here with sonny . brady : [ groans , murmurs ] where 's -- where 's nicole ? where 's -- where -- where 's holly and my son ? sonny : here , tate is here . he 's fine . he 's with a nurse right now , okay ? brady : nicole . where 's nicole ? paul : we do n't know where she 's at , or holly . sonny : brady , do you remember what happened ? brady : xan -- xander ... xander 's alive . sonny : xander did this to you ? paul : there 's no way . brady , brady , he was killed . brady : he 's alive . he was not killed . paul : brady , you -- brady : [ groans ] ah ! paul : brady , brady -- you -- sonny : relax , relax . paul : you need to stay here , brady . you ca n't leave . this is serious , brady . you 're losing a lot of blood . man , you can barely breathe . please , just do n't move . brady : [ whispering ] find -- find them . find them . gabi : you know , you 're only patient because you 're confident . eli : maybe . gabi : and i bet you always get the girl , do n't you ? eli : [ laughs ] not always . rihanna turned me down once . yeah , she told me that she only dates guys in the industry . gabi : ooh , that must 've hurt . eli : nah , i was fine with it . i did n't take it personal . gabi : well , good for you . [ both laugh ] gabi : how come there is n't a mrs. grant ? eli : i just have n't met the right one . gabi : are you a `` love 'em and leave 'em `` kind of guy ? eli : [ chuckles ] no , i 'm not . i 've always tried to be straight up with women , respect them . that 's how my mom raised me . gabi : yeah , i like your her . she seems cool . eli : yeah . she gave me a good childhood ... she and terence , my step - dad . but now that i know who my real dad is -- my biological father -- and that he could 've been in the picture ... well , it just makes it that much harder to be grateful . gabi : yeah , but you know that at the time , she thought she was doing the right thing , right ? eli : you know how you said that you were tired of talking about chad and abigail ? gabi : not another word . mm - mm . done . [ both laugh ] [ romantic music ] [ dario and abigail laughing ] chad : hey . abigail : mm , hi . dario : what can we do for you ? chad : uh ... i saw you called earlier . is everything okay ? abigail : i must 've pocket dialed . chad : can we talk for a minute ? abigail : [ exhales ] i think we 've kind of talked enough for today . i 'm -- i 'm just busy right now . chad : it 's only gon na take a second . it -- it 's important . dario : she said she did n't want to talk . chad : this is between me and my wife . dario : oh , is that what you -- you still calling her your wife , huh ? abigail : guys , can you -- chad : we 're still married . abigail : just -- please . dario : wait , what is your idea of marriage , huh ? you tell abigail you still love her , and then you run off with my sister ? chad : um , i do n't want to sit here and listen to this , so if you can just ... dario : oh , you 're right . you -- you do n't want to -- abigail : dario , please -- dario : you do n't want to stay around for this . what you want to do is get the hell out of -- abigail : chad , please . i have spent years taking over - the - counter products eli : so i 'm thinking that we should plan our next date . gabi : how are you so sure we 're gon na have a next date ? eli : as you pointed out , i always get the girl . gabi : oh , well , what would you say if i told you i just do n't date people in the industry ? [ laughs ] eli : okay . all right , well , i , um ... guess i 'd have to cut my losses short . have a good night . gabi : oh , wait ! where are you going ? get back here . eli : does that mean i get another date ? gabi : i do n't know . what 'd you have in mind ? eli : i saw a facebook post that they 're having a dance contest at club tbd . gabi : yeah , i heard about that . my brother owns the club , so i 'm probably gon na be disqualified . eli : oh , wait , that sounds like an excuse . gabi : what ? i beg your pardon . that is not an excu -- eli , what are you doing ? [ dance song playing on phone ] eli : you do know how to dance , do n't you ? gabi : okay , now i 'm offended . eli : okay , well , who do you think has the best moves ? gabi : eli , i do n't want to embarrass you , okay ? eli : all talk and no action . gabi : oh , i can dance .

[ cheers and applause ] yes . correct . thank you , mr . deveraux . on another issue , haley chen 's deportation has been waived , presumably because of her recent marriage . your reaction to this , mayor carver ? [ baby crying ] abe : well , haley and tripp dalton have been questioned extensively by ice , and their marriage has been deemed legitimate by a government agency , so i say , let them live in peace . that 's right . no , no . jack : haley chen found an accomplice and gamed the system . before that , before that , she took advantage of my son . she moved in with him and then she dumped him when things were n't going her way . she 's a liar and a user . jj : you know damn well haley never took advantage of me . sir , there will be time for audience comments and questions later . jj : i betrayed her . she fell in love with tripp dalton and married him , and i was their best man . look , i can assure everyone here that their marriage is 100 % legit . if anyone has a fake marriage it 's you and your campaign manager . mr. deveraux , may i ask you to take your seat ? jj : my father only cares about one thing , and that 's winning this election , and he 'll do whatever he has to do , including hurt innocent people and marry a woman who he does n't love to get what he wants . jack deveraux is a total fraud .

[ scandalized chatter ] valerie : what ? abe : people may disagree with me on some of the issues , but i 've always been upfront about where i stand and who i am . jack : upfront ? excuse me . upfront ? have you been upfront about the crime wave in this city ? cartel assassins ? kidnapped babies ? where does it end , mr . mayor ? where does it end ? have you been upfront about your personal life ? abe : my personal life ? jack : yes , yes , your personal life . mayor carver . mayor carver insists that he 's in a committed relationship with dr . valerie grant , who moved to washington d.c . some months ago . abe : and she 's here today . jack : oh , how convenient . what did you say to convince her to show up and make an appearance ? valerie : i 'm here to support abe because i love him . yes , we may be miles away , but we are certainly a committed couple . jack : good , good to know . how do you feel about your partner 's relationship with his ex - con assistant sheila watkins ? abe : i have been very open about the fact that i wanted to give my assistant a chance after she served her debt to society . jack : but you have n't been quite so open about being romantically involved with her . is n't that true , mayor carver ? valerie : wait , what ? [ dramatic music ] i 've always been excited for what 's next . haley : well , i -- i got ta go or else i 'll be late for work , if they take me back . tripp : i 'm sure they will . and i 'm ... i 'm sorry about claire . haley : no , no , i 'm ... i 'm the one who 's sorry . i made a huge mess of it . you know what ? you know what ? let 's call laverne and we 'll tell her that we need the rent money , so claire could stay . it 's the only way the two of you could be together and -- tripp : no , no , look , as hard as this is , it 's honestly the best way . you heard agent smith . there 's gon na be constant monitoring . i mean , we still have to be super careful , right ? and claire living here would just be a huge red flag , so ... haley : god , she totally hates me . tripp : no , she does n't hate you . haley : yeah , she does . she does , and i do n't blame her at all . tripp : no , claire 's ... claire 's emotional and dramatic , but in the end , she knows how important this is and we can trust her to do the right thing . now we just need to give her a little time to cool off . so just try not to worry so much , all right ? you just go to work . i 'm sure they 'll be happy to take you back . haley : yeah , i hope so . tripp : let me know how it goes . haley : okay . yeah , yeah , i 'll , uh , talk to you later .

i 'm completely switching careers . actually , i think politics is going to be a perfect fit . rex : i meant aside from that . kate : let 's see . oh , did i tell you that brady stabbed victor in the heart , confessed to the crime , and is currently in jail ? rex : wh -- hold -- hold on . brady stabbed victor in the heart ? what -- did victor die ? kate : oh , no , of course not . you could n't take down that man with a baseball bat . rex : why would brady do that ? kate : well , apparently victor knew that kristen and brady 's baby was still alive and he kept that information from them . rex : whoa . hold -- hold on . so kristen had a baby with -- with brady ? kate : yep , that 's what i said . rex : so if that baby did n't die , where is it ? well , the baby -- it 's a girl -- is , um , with sarah . rex : m -- my sarah ? why ? kate : because everyone thought the baby was sarah 's , that 's why . i mean , so did sarah , but , well , it turns out that the baby belonged to brady and kristen . jake : i guess we broke up because , uh -- i do n't know . life goes on . people change . ben : right . hey , do you mind if i ask you one more question ? jake : dude , are you always this chatty ? ben : no , no , actually i 'm not at all . it 's just , like , what i told you , man . you look so much like my old boss . i guess it just makes me curious . jake : oh , well , what do you wan na know , cathy ?

she can go off the rails without help from anybody . lani : she had help this time . the toxicology report proves it . lani : so she was drugged . that could have been anybody . lani : that 's not true . the drug found in abigail 's system was not even in the market yet . it 's still being tested by the company that manufactures it , and guess what company that is ? gabi : well why do n't you just tell me ? lani : dimera enterprises . amazing , huh ? kristen : even if i do keep my mouth shut , it does n't mean that we 're gon na find rachel . brady : no , do n't , do n't , don't . do n't say that . we will find rachel and when we do find her , she 's gon na need her mother . kristen : yeah , but she 's gon na need you , too , brady . brady : do n't -- do n't bring this down on yourself . you got ta understand . the d.a . is still furious about the fact that haley chen 's death was ruled an accident , kristen . you plead guilty to stabbing victor , you could be put away for the rest of your life . you will never -- you will never be able to raise rachel the way that you want to . kristen : oh , god , i wish i would have thought about that before i tried to kill victor . brady : well , i 'm the only one who knows and no one 's gon na hear it from me . it will never come out . kristen : unless victor survives . kayla : well , you are stable so let 's try to keep it that way , all right ?

five minutes and you 're out of here , all right ? rex : so how could sarah end up with brady and kristen 's baby ? kate : [ chuckles ] well , victor and xander pulled off a baby switch and sarah ended up with the baby , and kristen and brady were told that , uh -- rex : that their baby was dead . kate : yeah , exactly . rex : wait , so that means -- that means eric and sarah 's baby -- kate : died . died a few hours after it was born . rex : oh , god . oh , my poor brother . he must be so devastated . kate : well , sarah was as well , i mean , she had been mothering that little girl for months . actually , she was n't able to face giving her up and she 's taken off with brady and kristen 's baby , and no one knows where they are . ben : [ grunts ] ciara : thank you . ben : ciara , this is my potential new boss , jake . jake , this is my girlfriend ciara . jake : nice to meet you . ciara : hi . jake : hi . ciara : so nice to meet you , too . uh , i 'm sorry i ca n't stop staring at you . i -- you -- you just look like -- jake : i look a lot like his dead boss . ciara : not even a lot . like -- like , you are the spitting image . it 's crazy . i know you warned me but i , uh -- i -- i ca n't believe it . ben : i told you . jake : well they say everybody 's got a double out there somewhere . ciara : i literally just said that . um , except for i always thought it was a load of bull up until right now . oh , my god . i ca n't even imagine what gabi would do if she saw you . ben : [ scoffs ] gabi : so the drug was made at dimera enterprise 's lab . no big deal . what ? lani : you work for dimera . you have access . gabi : so does abigail , okay ? maybe she was sick of her little dreary life . lani : the drug was slipped into a glass of champagne that abigail was drinking at julie 's place . chad says that you were there with them , that you still have it in for abigail , which gives you means , motive , and opportunity . the d.a . might go easy on you if you just admit that you did it . eli : well , i 'm glad you pulled through , sir . you remember what happened to you ? okay , can you tell me about it ? victor : i was -- i was -- kayla : you know , he 's terribly weak . maybe you should come back another time and do this . what do you think ? eli : okay , yeah , just one more question and i 'll go . kayla : [ sighs ] eli : mr. kiriakis , do you remember who stabbed you ? was it your grandson brady black ? brady : do you know how victor 's doing ? kristen : um , i mean , the nurse 's staff is n't too free with the details but he , uh , survived surgery and now he 's in critical condition . brady : well , if he pulls through , i guess i could find a way to force him to keep his mouth shut . kristen : how ? brady : well , i could remind him that what he did to you and me was illegal , number one . kristen : ah , you do n't think that he 's gon na pass up the chance to ruin my life ? brady : i got ta -- i got ta find a way to get through to him , kristen . kristen : oh , come on , brady . he does n't want you to go to prison any more than i do and he 'll talk as soon as he opens his eyes . brady : probably right . there 's really no way to control him . kristen : well , there is one . i could go to the hospital and finish him off . rex : i have to go . kate : what ? just like that ? rex : yeah , yeah , yeah , well , we 'll talk later . sarah : you 're still here . you must really like the pâté . rex : yeah , i got waylaid by a phone call . what are you doing back ? sarah : i -- i lost mickey 's blanket when we were out for a walk and she -- she just ca n't sleep without it so i thought i must have left it here . rex : oh , uh , is -- is this it ? sarah : oh , great , yes . thank you . rex , give me my daughter 's blanket back . rex : sure , except that 's not your daughter , is she ? lani : you gaslighted abigail before . gabi : and abigail has framed me before . has it ever occurred to you that maybe her multiple personalities are back ? why do n't you ask chad and abigail about them ? they 've got these names like gabby , blabby , dr . somebody . lani : chad says abigail was fine . drugs are out of her system . gabi : oh , well , what about chad ? he was caught talking to the walls last week . you have nothing on me . lani : you do know that it is only a matter of time until we make the case ? gabi : well , knock yourself out . follow all the phony leads you want . just get the hell out of my house .

[ all laughing ] ciara : [ chuckles ] brady : no . you ca n't -- you ca n't -- you ca n't make another attempt on victor 's life . you ca n't do that . you understand that if you do that , the charges against me will be up from attempted murder to murder one ? kristen : i did n't think about that . i just -- i 'm not thinking , period . brady : i need you to promise me that you 're gon na stay away from him . promise me you 'll stay away from victor , please . kristen : i promise . but i do n't think i can let you take the rap for what i did . brady : you 'll be doing it for our daughter , too , and like i said , she 's gon na need her mom . kristen : i need her . god , brady , this should n't have happened this way . i mean , we should be so blissfully happy right now raising our little girl . brady : i just -- i just do n't think blissful happiness was in the cards . [ sniffs ] never was . i mean , i -- the minute i found out you were pregnant , i should have realized that . kristen : why ? brady : 'cause i knew . i knew how much victor hated you . i knew he was never gon na change . i knew something like this would happen . i put you in this position . i did this to you . i basically ruined your life , kristen . kristen : come on .

jordan : hey . rafe : hey . i was waiting for you to wake up . jordan : [ sighs ] oh , my gosh , look at the time . rafe : i know . sorry about that . i kept you up late , did n't i ? jordan : i did n't mind . rafe : but the way things came out ... not exactly the way i would 've planned it . jordan : things ? rafe : things that we said . i 'd have preferred ... i love you . i love you so much . jordan : oh ... abigail : crazy and totally terrifying . will : but your mom 's okay now , right ? abigail : yeah . yeah , she 's okay . they all are . it 's just upsetting , you know ? i mean , this lunatic was stalking my mom . he could 've killed her . he almost did . it was a mess . nicole shot daniel by mistake , and luckily he 's okay , so ... anyway , uh , i just got to the club , so i 'm gon na try to find sonny and fill him in , okay ? will : he 's actually here now . arianna is teething , so he was on night duty and i 'm letting him sleep in . abigail : okay , then i 'll talk to you later . will : take care . i 'm really glad your mom 's all right . abigail : thank you . me too . bye . [ gasps ] oh . ben : are you okay ? ej : no . the photographs from the ferry are useless . did you get a log of the private boats that docked at smith island that night ? johnny : daddy , daddy ! ej : not now , johnny , i 'm busy , please . johnny : this is important too . i found a picture of santa claus ! kate : bird watching ? percy : ah , greetings . do you know what this is ? kate : $ 2.99 at the street market ? percy : just a little experiment that nick set up . it 's an illustration of thermodynamics . the science of the relationship between heat and work . no ? [ clears throat ] you see , with hot air -- kate : of which there is plenty in this room . percy : [ chuckles ] you are as drole as you are magnanimous . kate : is that a thank - you ? percy : oh , yes . for the most generous raise . kate : mm - hmm . well , you see , people in positions of power , like me , we see an additional $ 10,000 a year , which is unearned , as rude money . which means i pay you more than you 're worth so i can be rude to you with impunity . now , where 's nick ? gabi : thanks for checking this out for me , nick . nick : yeah . gabi : when i showed will the custody agreement , he sort of freaked . but i explained to him , or at least i think i did , that this is not even close to what we 're gon na end up with , that this is how the lawyers -- nick : no , no , mr. jennings laid this out perfectly . this -- this is exactly how it should be . sami : is gabi here ? will : mom , you ca n't just show up like that . sonny : gabi 's not home . sami : does she have arianna with her ? sonny : no , ari 's sleeping . sami : wow , she left the baby alone with you . that 's so surprising , given what she was asking for in the custody agreement . do n't play dumb . kate already told me . will : i know you told me not to tell grandma , but it 's a moot point now , all of this . ej said it 's just a negotiating position . everything 's gon na be okay . sami : i know what ej said , but this is gabi and nick we are talking about here , and i am not going to stand by and do nothing . nick : gabi , you need to listen to me on this . you need to call the lawyer and get him to put in a request for a court date asap , all right ? lock this down , get it done . ej : where did you get this ? johnny : allie 's daddy sent it to her . percy : ms. roberts , surely you know by now that mr. fallon prefers to do the lion 's share of his work after the sun sets . he is nocturnal . kate : most bloodsuckers are . percy : i have observed firsthand just how creative my superior can be when he 's able to shut out the world . kate : aw ... too bad nick did n't shut out the world permanently when we dropped him into that river . gabi : nick , mr. jennings said that we ask for everything and then we dial it back , that we -- nick : gabi , do you really think that sami is gon na settle for anything less than what she wants ? gabi : okay , but what sami wants -- nick : she made it really clear . she thinks that you are an unfit mother . she is gon na do everything in her power to take your baby away from you . sonny : sami , i 'm not gon na fight with you . i 'm with will on this . i ca n't see gabi suddenly doing a 180 and only letting us see ari every other weekend . sami : okay , what about nick ? can you picture him doing that ? sonny : he does n't have any rights in this equation . sami : gabi does whatever he tells her to do . sonny : still , if for some insane reason , we go to court and gabi and nick are together , his criminal record alone would help us . sami : sonny , it 's not an option . sonny : what do you mean ? sami : nick made it clear to me that if any of us bring up his past in court , or try to use it to help us with the custody hearing , he will make sure we all end up in prison . jordan : [ sighs ] rafe : you 're upset ? jordan : no , no , i -- it 's just that i , um ... well , i 'd never ... rafe : what ? just tell me . it 's okay . jordan : i have never said those words to a man before . rafe : oh . jordan : and so i kind of want to say them again for a second time . rafe : okay . jordan : i love you , rafe . abigail : were you seriously just listening in to my conversation ? ben : i was seriously bringing you your usual soy caramel latte . i have n't tried to hide the fact that i can hear , and you know , certain things like , `` some stalker almost killed my mom , `` they just kinda grab your attention . abigail : okay , i get it . this is none of your concern , ben , okay ? ben : you 're right . look , and i know that i was wrong to come in between you and that guy nick , but look , since i know your name and you know my name , it 's not totally out of line for me to ask if you 're okay after somebody hurt somebody that you care about . ej : so , johnny , did you get your photograph taken with this santa as well ? johnny : yeah . i do n't know where it is , though . i wish i did . this santa was funny . ej : how so ? johnny : instead of saying , `` ho , ho , ho , `` he said , `` greetings . `` [ chuckles ] ej : `` greetings `` ? gabi : what about mr. greetings ? what -- what did he say ? ej : would you please stop calling him that ? it sounds ridiculous . kate : okay , his name is percy , percy ruggles . ej : thank you for showing me the picture , johnny . it was very funny . johnny : you were n't laughing . ej : i know . come on . off you go . thank you . yes , it 's me . listen , i need you to find out everything you can about a gentleman called percy ruggles . kate : so these patent forms for the new formula need to be filled out by nick before sunset tonight , thank you . is that clear ? you know , mr. ruggles , you do seem like a nice gentleman . i have to wonder how someone so nice could be so comfortable being a lackey to a man like nick fallon . percy : we all do what we must , ms . roberts . kate : mm . on that we do agree . will : no , i wo n't buy into that , mom . now , nick may hold some sway over gabi , but she is totally aware of what my role and sonny 's is in arianna 's life . sami : nick has all the information . will : and ari has all three of us . gabi sees the way that ari smiles when i walk in the room , and she knows that sonny is the first one out of bed when ari wakes up at night . nick might know gabi 's weaknesses and ours . but that does n't change the fact that gabi is a mother , first , last , and always . so i know that she will stand up to nick , because gabi knows what 's best for our daughter , and that is for me and sonny to stay in her life . gabi : no , no , will would never let sami take my baby away from me . nick : but ... gabi , think about when will 's mom got involved before . you know what i mean ? i do n't blame him . but sami seems to have some type of hold over will . and with ej dimera as -- as his lawyer , sami 's fiancé ... gabi : okay , but this agreement , okay , it says that will can only see arianna every other weekend , and we spend a lot of time together . i mean , that would kill him . and sonny too . nick : i know . but those terms just -- just set the minimum . if you were in charge of visitation , as the primary caregiver , as ari 's mother , you could adapt it and let will see the baby whenever he wanted . gabi : i do n't -- i do n't know , nick . i mean , i want to do what 's best for arianna , but -- nick : i know . i know . come here . come here . you do not need to decide this right now , okay ? just take a deep breath . [ breathes deeply ] there 's no pressure . i got something for you . i got this for you to show you that i - i believe in you . gabi : oh , this is , um , like the one you gave will and sonny . is this -- nick : yeah , it 's a -- it 's our names . i think that our love is just as special . you know , we 've been doing really well lately , and we 've overcome so much together . i want us to be a couple again . and i know that in your heart that that 's what you want too . i 'm their mom at the playground abigail : i 'm sorry , ben . i owe you an apology . that was incredibly rude of me . ben : you do n't have anything to be sorry for . i 'm sure last night was really tough on you . abigail : well , it was , but still , that 's no reason to snap at you like i did . ben : it 's forgotten . abigail : so the answer to your , uh , totally appropriate question is yes , i 'm -- i 'm fine . ben : i 'm really glad that everything 's over and everybody 's okay . abigail : thank you . ben : i got ta get back to work . abigail : okay . jordan : [ sighs ] rafe : [ sighs ] hey . why are n't you looking at me ? jordan : i - i just feel silly for saying what i did . rafe : oh . really ? come here . you know , i 'm flattered to be the first person you 've ever said those words to . and i 'm not so naive to think that i 'm the only person you 've ever been involved with . jordan : but it 's different with you . i 've never felt as safe as i do when i 'm in your arms . gabi : nick , even if we did get back together , i mean , what does this have to do with will and arianna ? nick : look ... i 've tried really hard . you 've seen that , right ? gabi : yeah , but -- nick : and it 's been months since i came back to salem and i said to everyone that i would put all of the bad stuff that happened behind us . and all of them knew that i could put them in prison for a long time , each and every one of them , and i did n't . you know , it 's like i 've tried every which way i can think of to convince them that my intentions are good , and they refuse to believe that i 've changed . you 're the only one , gabi . the only one who 's done that . gabi : okay , so your point is ? nick : because i 'm in your life again . right ? and because ej and kate and sami and will and sonny -- because they refuse to even give me the slightest benefit of the doubt , they might do everything in their power to keep us away from your baby . sami : well , um , okay . i mean , i hear you . [ chuckles ] obviously you know gabi better than i do , and it seems like you three do have a great relationship that you 're working out here , so i mean , who am i to say , right ? i mean , maybe it is reasonable to think that she 's not gon na shove this draconian custody agreement down your throats . will : we know she wo n't . sami : okay . and ej 's gon na deal with nick , so it 's all gon na work out . sonny : definitely . sami : well , good . i 'm so glad i came . you have no idea . i feel so much better about everything now . sonny : do you wan na take a peek at your granddaughter ? sami : oh , um , you know , i would love to , but i know she 's sleeping , i know how precious that is . so you know what , i was thinking maybe , um , we 'll make a plan to have a play date . sydney and johnny and allie . they are dying to play with arianna too , so why do n't we schedule something ? the weather 's so nice , we 'll go to the park . we 'll do something fun . sonny : yeah , yeah . sami : i love you both . i 'll see you soon , okay ? maybe this weekend . does that sound good ? will : that sounds great , yeah . sami : okay . bye . sonny : see ya . sami : [ sighs ] i have to find a way to put the screws to gabi hernandez . and i know just the person to do it . jordan : mm ... as perfect as this is , i do n't think we can lay in bed all day . [ chuckles ] rafe : i do n't have to go to work for a while , actually . [ phone rings ] jordan : ooh , sounds like someone spoke too soon . rafe : ah . jordan : oh . rafe : oh , excuse me . jordan : [ laughs ] rafe : oh , it 's sami . she says it 's important . jordan : oh . you should take care of it . rafe : yeah . jordan : well , does she say what it 's about ? rafe : no . no , but i have a pretty good idea . nick : and what about rafe ? gabi : what about him ? nick : i mean , your brother ca n't stand me , gabi . i mean , do you really think that he 's ever gon na accept us as a couple ? gabi : well , rafe does n't tell me what to do . nick : no , but you got ta be realistic . a lot of people feel like they have an investment in this , and the only person , the only investment that actually counts , as far as arianna 's concerned , is yours . gabi : what are you doing ? nick : i - i 'm gon na call mr. jennings so that you can tell him to put in a court date request as soon as possible . this is the only way for you and arianna to stay together . gabi : mr. jennings ? it 's , uh , gabriella hernandez . i 've thought about it , and i would like for you to go ahead with the custody agreement you 've drawn up , and i i 'd also like for you to ... get a court date as soon as you can . thank you . nick : and you have to be sure to not tell anybody about the court date request . right ? look , i know that you 're really worried , gabi , but i have everything under control . it does n't have a date yet . but i really hope that it 's soon .

abe : this is absurd ! ms. watkins and i are not romantically involved ! jack : you heard it from the man himself . mayor carver denies having any romantic relationship with his assistant . abe : because there is none ! these are baseless accusations . valerie : that 's right ! jack : i was hoping you 'd say that , because i have proof . eve , if you 'd please do the honors , if everyone would kindly direct your attention to the screen . [ all gasping , muttering ] [ desolate music ] i 'm sorry , dr . grant . this was obviously a surprise . abe : you leave her out of this . sheila : this is a hit job . that photo is fake . eve : no , what is fake is mayor carver 's slick façade of integrity and honesty . now , if he would cheat on a woman that loves him ... man : yeah ! woman : right ? eve : how can you trust him to protect , to respect , and honor you ? to do what is best for you ? people of salem ! [ crowd assenting ] haley : hi . kayla : oh , what a surprise ! oh , my gosh , we have missed you around here . haley : and i have missed you , which is actually why i 'm here today . um ... i was hoping that maybe i could get my job back .

( roosevelt ) my name is roosevelt . reporter : mayor carver , can you comment on the record about the nature of your relationship with your employee ? how do you think it will impact your bid for reelection ? abe : i have no comment , on the record or off the record , so you just get the hell out of my way . man : boo ! woman : okay , then . yeah , walk away ! jack : i think since mayor carver has run away from any questions , or this debate , it 's only fair to assume that he has no honest answers for the people of salem ! [ cheers and applause ] sheila : you want a comment ? well , i have all kinds , 'cause it 's not what you think . reporter : so you 're denying there 's a relationship ? sheila : oh , it was a kiss , one kiss -- that kiss , and the mayor did n't kiss me . i kissed him . it was all me . i was wrong , and i 'm not proud of it , and i acted inappropriately ... [ crowd jeers ] because sometimes i do that -- or a lot . and because mayor carver is the coolest and most decent man i 've ever met , he made it very clear that he was in a committed relationship with dr . grant . [ cell phone rings ] lani : eli is upset because i 've decided to take a leave of absence from the pd and take care of david . rafe : oh , whoa , yeah .

[ uneasy synth music ] haley : okay . kayla : you know , when a girlfriend crashes a wedding , she 's generally not okay . i mean , i know that she said that she was there to support you and to confirm the story , but , um ... i have a sneaky feeling that she 's not blessing this union with tripp . haley : claire has been beyond helpful , but ... can you blame her for being this upset ? i mean , she has to sneak around to see her own boyfriend for god 's sake , and now -- now , because of me , she has to move out of the loft . tripp : uh , i 'm so sorry . claire : you know , it 's funny , 'cause you keep saying that , but when haley came up with the bright idea to kick me out of the loft , you were more than okay with it . tripp : i never thought it would go this far . claire : yeah , well , it did , so so much for `` till deportation do you part . `` tripp : hey , would you just stop for a second ? look , listen . okay , look . i love you . i 'm committed to you , and i 've made a mess of this , and i feel horrible .

[ chiming music ] ( announcer ) do you push through migraine ? haley : the look on claire 's face when i told agent smith that she was moving out . i - i felt so terrible ... because ... because now , it 's gon na be much harder for her to be with tripp , and i know she sacrificed so much for me already . so has tripp . kayla : as wonderful as i think my stepson is , you had to marry a man you did n't love . you have made sacrifices , too . i mean , you and jj have a certain some -- connection , right ? and i do n't think that his feelings have changed just because you 're mrs . dalton now . haley : i 've been so mad at jj for so long , and , uh , i - i realize now how wrong i was . you know , my -- my wedding present to myself was -- was to forgive him . kayla : so the connection 's still there for you , too ? haley : yeah , yeah , it is , but it 's not like there 's anything i can do about it . i mean , jj and i are n't any freer to be together than tripp and claire are . tripp : of course i still want you . claire : no , no , forget it . i 'm sorry i asked . i 'll see you in three years -- or never . tripp : hey , no , no -- wait , you know , you 're right . you 're right , you 're right . i 'm sorry , all right ? you -- agent smith does n't have a key or anything . it 's not like she 's gon na bust in on us . claire : oh , oh , well , thank you , but i think i 'll skip the mercy sex . tripp : no , no . claire : what ? [ crooning music ] tripp : that seem like a mercy kiss ? claire : well , i do n't know . could we try it again ? rafe : like i said , you 've been a huge help , but taking a leave of absence -- eli : is too damn much . rafe do n't need you to quit the force to be his full- time nanny . gabi can help him , or he can hire a nanny or some child care . rafe : the whole reason rafe took jordan 's son in the first place is because he did n't want him around strangers . is n't that right ? rafe : well , yeah , sort of -- lani : okay , so rafe , this is the best solution and it does n't even have to be a leave of absence . i have a ton of vacation days that i will lose if i do n't use it . do n't you think ? rafe : hm ?

[ sighs ] i 've thought about my actions quite a lot , but i realized that maybe , the reason i was wondering what it would be like to be with someone else ... is that maybe there was ... a problem between you and me . valerie : oh , do n't you dare try to blame me for your kissing your assistant . abe : no , no , no . i -- believe me , i 'm not . this is -- this is all on me , but what we have , this ... this long - distance thing . i 've thought about it a lot , valerie . i 'm afraid ... i 'm afraid it 's just not working for me . can you honestly tell me it 's working for you ? reporter : what exactly did you mean by that ? mr. deveraux , can you tell me what your son is accusing you of ?

[ scene_break ] justin : [ laughs heartily ] ej : i 'm glad i brought some amusement to your evening . justin : ej -- [ laughs ] i - i have to admit that , um -- [ clears throat ] destroying stefano , uh -- i can see , um , you 're serious . ej : oh , i 'm very serious . i intend to dismantle dimera enterprises and all of its subsidiaries , placing them fully under my control . now my target date is midsummer . justin : well , that 's -- ej : eminently doable . justin : you do realize that you 're telling this to a kiriakis ? ej : yes . but i believe i found precisely the right person to help me . [ scene_break ] stefano : do i have to explain to you about people on my payroll who say no to me ? bernard : well , mr. dimera , believe me . i would get that evidence for you if i could . stefano : then do it . bernard : well , see , the thing is , your son got himself shot a long time ago . and when a case has been closed longer than four years , the evidence goes into a secure lockup . you know , maybe i could , uh , pull a few strings and get myself inside somehow . stefano : mm , excellent . bernard : all right , so you want me to find the file on your son 's shooting and then destroy everything in the box , right ? stefano : wrong . i want you to destroy nothing . [ scene_break ] gabi : the first thing that i wan na know ... is what happened in here ? okay , why -- why in the world would you do this to our room ? nick : [ exhales ] [ grunts ] what the hell ? where could it be ? $ 30,000 just does n't disappear . [ panting ] jesus . gabi : nick ? nick : gabi , i -- [ sighs ] you know what ? the project that i 've been killing myself over , the one for kate -- for mad world -- gabi : i do n't wan na talk about that . i wan na talk about what happened in this room -- nick : i know that . but what happened is that i lost this flash drive with all of my work on it . all of it -- the formula that i created . gabi : nick , you back everything up . nick : i know , but the backup crashed . that 's what happened . and that 's why i went crazy looking around this room for the flash drive . but look , look . i found it . i found it . i was an idiot , and i just -- i had left it at work . [ chuckles ] but that 's why i went so crazy before . and that 's why i was acting weird . and what 's why i kind of took off . gabi : why did n't you just tell me this kind of stuff ? like , why do n't you just tell me ? nick : i do n't know . i just -- you 're under so much stress right now . i just figured you did n't need to hear about my stupid work problems . gabi : so what , you just shut me out ? is that how it 's gon na be ? nick : no , i -- [ sighs ] i was n't thinking . i 'm sorry . i was wrong . you were -- you were right . and we do need to talk more . we need to talk about everything . but gabi , you have to know how much i love you . you have to know that . listen , how about -- let 's go get a bite to eat , all right ? and we 'll talk . we 'll talk about everything . and i will not hold anything back . i promise you that , okay ? that 's a promise . we 'll make this work , because we love each other . we can make this work . [ scene_break ] sonny : uh -- [ clears throat ] tomorrow is just another day . adrienne : now come on , you two . you were just excited about tomorrow . sonny : mom -- adrienne : is it something to do with the baby ? will , i know it was hard for you to give up your parental rights . [ phone ringing ] will : no , it , um -- it really was . i think things are gon na start turning around . i 'm so sorry . i got a project with this guy at school . i 'm sorry . i 'll be right -- sonny : you know , um , what you did , helping me out -- adrienne : helping you out ? my god , i thought i was gon na have a heart attack . i knew you and sami were in nick 's room -- sonny : look , look -- adrienne : i tried to keep him out , but then he just went in . i 'm sorry . sonny : no , it 's okay . we were lucky . he never knew we were there . adrienne : oh , good . sonny : and now things might just work out . adrienne : what things , honey ? sonny : can we just not talk about it ? adrienne : ugh . sonny : can we just -- i know . adrienne : yeah , okay . it 's okay , i guess . you know what ? no . this is frustrating , all right ? i want you to tell me as soon as you can , please . sonny : i will , i promise you . and why are you here right now ? i thought you and dad were going out to dinner . did n't you have dinner plans ? adrienne : yeah , we did . we were , but he got called into a very mysterious meeting . sonny : is everything okay ? adrienne : i hope so . [ scene_break ] justin : ej , you have a whole gaggle of attorneys working for you . why not use them ? ej : well , because they all have ties . justin : to your father . ej : mm - hmm . and if there were to be a leak -- justin : if a kiriakis is handling the paperwork , it must be a kiriakis project . and no one would ever point towards you . ej : precisely . justin : clear enough . i just have one question though . what makes you think i would even consider doing this ? ej : because whatever it is you think of me , you think worse of my father . just imagine , for a moment , being the kiriakis who helped to take down the great stefano dimera . i think that 's too exciting an opportunity for you to turn down . do n't you ? [ scene_break ] bernard : but mr. dimera , if i get inside the evidence room and i find the evidence on your son 's case , why do n't i just destroy it ? stefano : why is none of your concern . you do just as your are told , all right ? you get all the evidence that is in that box , all of it , and you bring it to me . understood ? bernard : yes , sir . yes , sir . as soon as i go on duty tomorrow , i 'll find a way to get inside the evidence room . and i 'll bring it all to you . stefano : good . go .

[ scene_break ] adrienne : and the window was just full of baby clothes . it was so adorable . i just wanted to go in and buy everything . will : oh , yeah . um , i - i feel the same way . but , you know , i would n't wan na spoil my daughter , in her first year of life anyway . sonny : why not ? i think you should go for it . will : because then her -- hi . sami : hey , sweetheart , sonny . sonny : hey . adrienne : sami . sami : adrienne . sonny : come on , will , what do you say we get these ladies some lattes ? mocha ? sami : you got it . sonny : walnut ? adrienne : yes , please . sami : look , um , thank you again for helping us out today . adrienne : oh , sure . no problem . um , still do n't know what we were doing though . and you 're not gon na tell me . sami : sorry . adrienne : no , of course you are , of course you are . no , i helped will . that 's what counts . you know , i 'm thinking that now we 're kind of in the same boat . maybe we should bury the hatchet .

[ scene_break ] sami : hey , i 'm willing to try . adrienne : terrific . i always said you were -- oh , my god . it 's true . you 're crawling right back into ej 's bed . [ scene_break ] justin : ej . why would you do this to your father ? i thought you two decided to forgive and forget . ej : my father can believe whatever he wants to about our little reunion . justin : so obviously , you are not forgiving him for disowning you . ej : no . and i never will . justin : all right . well , look , if you 're expecting a decision tonight , uh -- ej : not at all . i took liberty of bringing you some paperwork to peruse . hopefully that will help you make up your mind , and you can give me an answer tomorrow morning . justin : and we are clear on the fact that there is nothing illegal ? ej : crystal . justin : good . ej , i 'm sorry . i just have to ask you -- do you really want to do this ? your father tends to chew up enemies and spit them out , very dead . if he ever gets wind of this -- ej : my father is somewhat distracted at the moment , so if i play my cards right and i have the right talented people helping me , he will not even see this coming . [ scene_break ] adrienne : i 'm sorry . that did n't come out the way i meant it to . sami : i think it did . but you do n't have to hide your feelings from me , adrienne , 'cause i do n't care what you think . ej and i are getting married and we 're both very happy about it . adrienne : well , hopefully this time 's a charm then . um , it 's three , right ? do n't go getting offended . some people lose track and -- will : here we are . walnut . adrienne : thank you . so sonny , why did n't you tell me that sami and ej were getting back in the saddle again ? sonny : [ exhales ] well , i did n't really think that was something i should be telling people . sami : thank you , sonny , but do n't worry about being discreet . now that your mom knows , everyone will . will , can i talk to you for a second , please ? will : yeah . [ scene_break ] sonny : can you at least try being nice to her ? adrienne : i am . sonny : no , you 're not . you 're acting like she 's marrying jack the ripper . adrienne : well , come on . she is , is n't she ? or least lord voldemort . [ scene_break ] sami : so i happened to overhear stefano telling the cop that he has on his payroll to get the evidence . and the guy said that he would do it . will : so you 're telling me you followed stefano ? sami : well , no . i mean , i happened to see stefano when he was disappearing around a corner . and then i saw the cop following him , so i followed him . will : oh , so you followed the cop ? that 's much better . sami : the point is , as of tomorrow night , you are officially off the hook . is n't that what you wanted ? will : yeah , absolutely . i want my rights back . just not so thrilled about stefano being involved . sami : well , you 're right to be cautious , but we need to focus on the positive , okay ? we 're gon na get that evidence to disappear , and then we can relax and forget about it . will : okay . do you really think that 's gon na happen ? sami : of course . why would n't it ? will : i do n't know .

[ scene_break ] [ phone ringing ] sami : what do you want ? nick : sami , i really need what you stole from me . sami : i 'm pretty sure that ej made it clear that you need to stay away from me . and so in case you happen to be in one of your delusional phases and you think i 'm actually gon na have a sympathy attack for you , why do n't you take some time and remember what you did to my son . nick : [ sighs ] sami : god , nick , what are you doing with all this money ? [ scene_break ] rafe : well , i know everything ends eventually , kate . but no , i did n't set a time limit on us . kate : [ sighs ] we both knew from the beginning that this would end . rafe : did we ? kate : of course we did . i mean , it 's better that it 's ending this way , rather than ending badly with one of us broken - hearted , right ? rafe : well -- kate : what ? rafe : no , i just , uh , never ended a relationship this way . it 's like cancelling a gym membership or changing your cell phone plan . kate : okay , well , the last thing that i wanted was for you to think that i 'm cold . rafe : i do n't . i get it ... i think . so -- friends ? kate : wow . i never exactly thought we were friends , but , um , i guess -- i guess now actually -- i guess actually we are , yes . rafe : oh . kate : [ sighs ] damn you , stefano . damn you .

[ scene_break ] ej : so , to the past . all yours . and to the future . all mine . [ door slams ] sami : what a night . where 's stefano ? ej : oh , he 's probably video - chatting with cecily . okay . you look like you could do with a drink . sami : no , i do not want a drink , ej . i want you .

[ chuckles ] gabi : are you sure ? nick : positive . what i was trying to say was that i 'm -- i 'm really glad that we talked . and i can see things more clearly now . i can see what 's important . gabi : and that 's ... nick : you . us . always . [ scene_break ] will : um , like you said , it 's kind of a touchy subject . sonny : here you go . something wrong ? rafe : just asking will about nick , trying to find out what the hell happened between them . will : sonny does n't -- let 's just leave sonny out of it . sonny : no , no , it 's cool . he 's just watching out for gabi . rafe : who , by the way , has n't been happy lately . sonny : and you 're guessing it 's because of nick ? rafe : well , i do n't wan na guess . i wan na know , you know ? i tried talking to nick earlier , and you actually came up , will . will : me ? rafe : mm - hmm . will : is he blaming me for gabi being unhappy ? rafe : no , he 's not , actually . i mentioned your name because i know that gabi wants you to be a part of this baby 's life . well , the second i did , he got really tense . so there 's a major problem between you two ? all right . i got my answer . do you wan na tell me what it is ? will : um -- i ca n't really get into it now . rafe : okay . thanks . sonny : thank you . anytime . rafe : yep .

[ scene_break ] lucas : why do i need you to hold on to carrie ? i won . she chose me . we 're engaged . we 're gon na be pronounced husband and wife . sami : yeah , i wish i knew what that part of the ceremony feels like . i ca n't believe i 've been almost married so many times . lucas : it seems to be a pattern with you . maybe if you stopped making the same mistakes , although i do n't see how austin 's ever gon na give you another chance . sami : lucas , it must be hard being so perfect all the time . do you have any more words of wisdom for me ? lucas : no , sami , that 's it . i think i 'm good . sami : yeah , well , thanks for nothing . lucas : look , this may be a tough concept for you to absorb , but carrie and i are in love . we 're gon na be married . she 's everything i 've ever wanted . she does n't fight with me , she does n't lie to me , and she does n't keep secrets . that 's how i know i 'm with the right person -- the woman i 'm meant to be with . sami : i 'm really happy for you , lucas . lucas : but you did n't throw me off track . i still want to know what 's going on between you and lexie . sami : oh , my god ! would you forget about lexie , okay ? i can handle her . lexie : you 're blackmailing me . sami : and you are cheating on abe , so you can get off your high horse . all you have to do is make sure carrie does n't choose austin . otherwise , you can say goodbye to your happy life with abe and theo . sami : i 'm gon na see if the cops are still here . no . no , they 're gone . let 's go find austin and carrie . [ scene_break ] austin : i just do n't get it . i just do n't get it . we were becoming so close -- moving towards something more permanent -- and you do this complete 180 and say you 're gon na marry lucas . start a family with him ? i know you were devastated over the takeover , but i also know what a kind and forgiving person you are , and you know that i did not know it was you and that i would never do anything to hurt you . so , is that it ? is it the takeover ? carrie : no . austin : then it 's sami -- something she said , something she did . it has to be . carrie : it 's got nothing to do with sami . i really think that she 's changed this time . after all the loss she 's gone through , it 's made her rethink the way she 's lived her life up until now . anyway , this is n't the way that sami wanted things to work out . we both know that if she could have her heart 's desire , she would be with lucas . austin : we all know that sami belongs with lucas . you tell me if i 'm wrong ... but if you could have your heart 's desire ... you would be with me , would n't you ? [ scene_break ] belle : [ clears throat ] listen , i was so out of line with what i said earlier about you wanting a biological child , like you , of all people , would n't love an adopted child just as much . of course you would . i am so sorry . shawn d. : i know you are . do n't worry about it . it 's okay . as it turns out , you did us a favor 'cause you were right about one thing -- mimi would love the opportunity to be pregnant again , especially after what happened last time , and now there might be a way for her to do that . belle : see ? that 's great . shawn d. : yeah . i guess i wo n't have to run off with claire every time i see her now . how many times have i told you how much that girl means to me ? i guess it 's just because of zack being a part of her , but ... claire is the reason i want to be a father so bad . belle : i know . and i know why . we find the hours going by just staring . you just stare at it . we just sit around like this . [ scene_break ] [ birds chirping , waves crashing ] patrick : hey , are you okay ? oh , god , this was a mistake . hope : no , no . i just have so many feelings inside me all at once ... but i 'm not sorry that we got this close . patrick : [ sighs ] i wish i could take all your sadness away . hope : you ca n't . the sadness about my marriage , my son -- it 's part of me . it always will be . it does n't mean i ca n't have other feelings , as well . patrick : yeah . i know what you mean . hope : that 's why we 're so good for each other -- 'cause you do know , you understand . and that 's why i am so grateful . patrick : you are ? hope : do i need to show you again to make you believe it ? patrick : i think you do . [ scene_break ] kate : look , i guess i should have told you before , but i ran into marlena the other day , and she is definitely coming back to salem very soon . marlena : alex is insisting on a lavish honeymoon . kate : a lot of women dream of something like that . marlena : i know . they do . that 's right . you know , somehow i feel so connected to the people here . i do n't have all the memories that you - all have of my life , but i feel attached to the people and the city . so i 'm very sure that once the honeymoon is over , we 'll be coming right back here . kate : does alex want to come back ? marlena : alex wants me to be happy . he adores me . so we 'll be coming back here as soon as possible . and until then ... kate : yes . until then -- until then , take care of yourself . marlena : with alex by my side , i 'll be just fine . thanks , kate . [ scene_break ] kate : oh , yes . she definitely wants to come back to salem . john : well , maybe she does n't realize that it 's not her decision . and she does have something to worry about , namely her husband . because if it 's up to alex , she 'll never come back to salem alive . [ scene_break ] [ cellphone ringing ] alex : oh . i hope this means that you 've found a buyer for the penthouse . realtor : i have a few hot prospects for the apartment itself . other buyers are very interested in the furnishings , especially the antiques . alex : i told you i wanted it sold as a package and the proceeds wired to my offshore account . now , how difficult can this be ? it 's a duplex penthouse apartment with terrace , all the furnishings , rare antiques . listen , if your prospective - buyer list is n't that large , i can certainly find another agent . realtor : no , no . i 'll find the perfect buyer . alex : i think i 've just come up with the ideal person -- someone who would be very desperate to have this particular penthouse . [ scene_break ] [ cellphone ringing ] john : john black . realtor : hello , mr. black . i 'm representing the real - estate property of dr. marlena evans . john : excuse me ? what 's all this about ? realtor : alex north wanted me to give you the first opportunity to purchase dr. evans ' penthouse and all of its furnishings . [ scene_break ] austin : see , you have n't answered me because you ca n't tell me it 's not true . you love me as much as i love you . tell me what i can do so we can be together . lexie : if you have a child together , there 's a high probability that he or she might have a genetic syndrome causing severe birth defects that could even be life - threatening . carrie : there 's nothing either of us can do . we just have to let it go . austin : why ? why ? you are not the kind of woman that gives a guy a runaround . tell me the truth . tell me the truth . carrie : [ sighs ] i do n't want to hurt lucas . austin : why would it hurt lucas ? you know , maybe together we could find a way to work through whatever the problem is . there is something else . i knew it . tell me . i love you so much . we can be together . [ scene_break ] lucas : carrie ! carrie and austin , are you in there ? austin : do n't answer . we 're not done talking . tell me . sami : i thought i heard something . lucas : who 's in there ? carrie : oh . sami : oh ! carrie : oh . lucas : hey . listen , the coast is clear . we 're out of the woods . the cops are gone . everything 's fine now . sami : it 's awfully cozy in here . how 'd you two pass the time ? carrie : we talked . what did you do ? sami : [ exhales sharply ] [ clears throat ] lucas : uh , we , uh , we tried not to kill each other . but everything 's fine now . you 're probably sick of these handcuffs . let 's get these off . we 'll get you home . come on . sami : austin and i probably want to get home , too , right ? let 's go . lucas : come on . carrie : austin , what are you doing ? we need to find the key . my wrist is hurting . austin : fine . but we are not done talking . to be continued . [ scene_break ] belle : i do n't think that too many teenagers in love were quite like we were . i mean , i do n't think most kids even want to think about being parents , but it seemed to be all we could ever talk about , remember ? shawn d. : well , not -- belle : oh , come on . shawn d. : yes , i remember . it was probably 'cause j.t . and zack were in my life . it 's just weird they 're not anymore . belle : they 're still in your life . shawn , you 're gon na be a great dad , and that 's what i was talking about , with your connection to claire . ever since we were kids , you 've wanted to be a dad . shawn d. : and mimi ca n't wait to be a mom . and i love her , whether she can get pregnant or if we have to adopt or if we have to do both . it would be great . belle : mimi is a very lucky woman . it seems you 're a very good husband . i was a fool to let you get away . [ scene_break ] john : let me make sure that i understand you . alex north wants me to put in a bid ? realtor : that 's right . he thought you would be extremely interested in buying marlena evans ' penthouse and all of its contents . think about it , mr. black . i 'll be in touch . kate : who was that ? john : it 's a real - estate agent . kate : alex wants you to buy an apartment ? john : not just an apartment . the penthouse . kate : what ? john : it 's like i told you all along -- alex north has no intention of ever bringing marlena back to salem . getting that real - estate agent to call me was alex 's way of saying i 'm never gon na see her again . that is , unless i find alex north and i stop him before he kills her .. [ scene_break ] alex : this is all so perfect . [ chuckles ] i end up the winner with john 's money and his beloved doc . he winds up with nothing but mementos of his life with her and cursing me till his dying days .

[ slow dramatic music ] deimos : i never said that xander was definitely dead . sonny : do n't give me that . i was there . deimos : i said i shot him . and i saw him fall backwards into the river . that 's all true . i presumed he was dead just like everybody else . do n't you think if i thought for one second that he was still alive that i would have tracked him down ? i know how much he hates this family -- how much he hates nicole . sonny : you would do anything for nicole , would n't you ? like bribing the judge in her custody case . deimos : what 's your point , sonny ? sonny : you blew that case for nicole . she wants no part of you . and after you took off for where she 's been hiding , xander grabbed her and shot brady . deimos : mm . again , what are you getting at ? sonny : how far are you willing to go to get what you want ? deimos : i know you do n't like me , sonny . i also know that you 'd rather be running this family instead of me . but i 'm sorry to disappoint you . i do n't have the time or the patience for this nonsense ... your ridiculous accusations . i have a mother and daughter to find . sonny : i hate that son of a bitch . paul : oh , really ? i had no idea . sonny : i mean , can you believe that ? he thinks he can run my family . paul : yeah . sonny : he 's part of this . i 'm sure of it . paul : look , the best thing that we can do right now is find nicole . sonny : how do we do that ? paul : marlena wants me to call my dad -- tell him about brady . but i 'm gon na ask him for his help , and steve 's too . sonny : good . victor : take me to my grandson . nicole : is brady alive ? xander : how should i know ? i did n't stick around to call 911 . nicole : where is he , xander ? ! xander : wherever he is , it 's his fault . he got in between me and what i want , trying to play the hero like always . and victor always falls for it . nicole : you 're a sick bastard . if you killed brady , i will -- xander : there you go again , making another one of your stupid mistakes ... threatening me , when your life and your baby 's life are in my hands .

kristen : are you sure ? lani : eli 's there now . kristen : eli 's at the hospital ? does he know if victor remembered what happened to him ? lani : no , he -- he was too weak to say anything . kristen : okay . well , then that means that he could n't say it was brady . lani : not then , but eli 's gon na wait at the hospital in case victor gets stronger . eli : when i asked you if you remember who stabbed you , i believe that you said that it was kristen . mr. kiriakis , you should know that brady has already confessed . he 's being arraigned right now . is it possible that you are covering for him ? or was it truly kristen that stabbed you ? victor : [ whispers ] yes ... kristen . rex : sarah , you ca n't -- you can not go on the run with a baby . sarah : i can do whatever i want . she 's my child . rex : you apply for a job , they will find you . you try to enroll her in school someday , they will find you . you will be looking over your shoulder every minute of every day . that is no life for a kid . sarah : it 's better than being raised by a lunatic like kristen dimera . rex : you know what , i actually sympathize with that , but still , this is not your call . sarah : you know that i got her cancer . rex : yeah , yeah , i do . sarah : i have taken care of her every minute of her life , and i love her . i love her more than i ever knew it was possible to love someone , so i am not just going to give her up . rex : i 'm sorry . you leave me no choice . sarah : what does that mean ? what are you gon na do ? rex : i have to call the police . sarah : rex , you can not help them take mackenzie away from me .

[ baby snuffling ] rex : listen . do you want mickey growing up loving you , thinking that you are her mother ... and that it 's all a lie ? do you want her to think that ? do n't you want to look at her one day and say , `` honey , i did the right thing `` ? sarah : i keep thinking that ... she 's a baby . but she 's almost a little girl now . rex : yeah , yeah , and you know what ? she 's going to be walking soon and talking and asking questions . questions like , `` mommy , why are we moving again ? `` or `` mommy , where 's my daddy ? `` and you know what ? you 're gon na have to look at her and you 're gon na have to lie to her the same way that you were lied to . sarah : god , you 're right . i ca n't -- i ca n't do that to her . i can't . i have to bring her back . chad : gabi wants control of dimera , and she knows that abby and i want her out . and when something comes between gabi and what she wants , she tries to be eliminate it . she 's a danger to society , and you just keep coming up with reasons not to arrest her . rafe : no , that 's not true actually . in fact , gabi swore to me she did n't drug abigail . but i had lani question her anyway . and lani told her we 're aware of the fact the drug that was found in abigail 's system was made exclusively by dimera . chad : well , i ca n't pry your sister 's hands off my family 's company , so she has access to the drug . is n't that great ? rafe : other people had access to the drug too , including yourselves . chad : are you accusing me of drugging my wife ? abigail : wait , i 'm sorry . are you really -- rafe , you 're suggesting that i drugged myself ? rafe : no , absolutely not . i 'm just saying that other people had access to the drug as well . chad : yeah , like your sister , who was in the room when she was drugged . abigail : it 's gabi . you were there when she confessed to trying to kill julie with a device that was manufactured by dimera . and nothing has been done since then . chad : how many people does your sister have to kill before you see her for what she really is ? jake : i know your name because i work in a garage with ben weston . gabi : you work with ben . jake : yeah , just hired him . he and his girlfriend had a very similar reaction when they saw me for the first time . apparently i 'm a dead ringer for ben 's old boss . gabi : and my dead husband . jake : well , maybe dead ringer was a bad choice of words . gabi : mmm . jake : anyway , ben and ciara , they told me about stefan , how he took a bullet that was meant for somebody else , for his old lady , how you donated his heart to save somebody else 's life . he also told me how crazy about the guy you were and , uh , well , i do n't know what else to say except i 'm sorry for your loss . gabi : my loss . my loss , hmm ? you son of a bitch ! you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know jake : what the hell was that for ? gabi : what do you think i am ? stupid ? huh ? do you know what i 've been through since you left me ? jake : left you ? i -- i never seen you before . gabi : oh , cut the crap . and while you 're at it , drop the phony accent . jake : oh , this is how i talk . gabi : please , i practically begged on my knees to rolf so that he could bring you back . jake : rolf ? who is that , a muppet ? gabi : would you please stop acting like you do n't know what i 'm talking about . jake : i -- if i was your husband , this guy you say you 're crazy about , which i 'm not , why would n't i just come back to you if i could ? huh ? gabi : that 's what i 'm trying to find out . i 'm trying to find out why you 're trying to make me believe you 're somebody else . you 're lying low . you 're lying low for some reason -- why , why ? abigail : gabi has told both of us on more than one occasion that she would do anything necessary to get dimera back and she feels like she 's entitled to it because she 's stefan 's widow . chad : we all know what she 's capable of , and yet she never seems to pay for it . rafe : and you seem to think that i 'm fixing things for her . chad : are n't you ? rafe : absolutely not . no . i told her that she needed to plead guilty for what she did to julie . i had nothing to do with the deal that was made . chad : no , she was going to let a baby die if she went to prison . abigail : chad , chad . rafe : listen , i can not ... i do n't have enough probable cause to arrest her , all right ? chad : what are you going to do about it ? rafe : i already told you . i have assigned lani to take over the investigation . and trust me when i tell you that she feels the same way about gabi as the two of you . if gabi is guilty , lani will find a way to prove it . chad : well , she better . or she 's going to answer to me . rafe : right . feel better . rex : so i just booked two tickets on my flight back to chicago so we can all go together . sarah : sounds like you do n't trust me to go through with it . rex : no . no , no , that 's not it at all . i just -- i just want to be there for you , that 's all . sarah : thanks , i guess . rex : i mean , how many times have you set me straight when i was out of line , right ? sarah : is that what you think you did ? rex : no . sarah : set me straight when i was out of line ? rex : no , no , no , that 's not -- that 's not what i meant at all . it 's just -- i 'm a better person because of you , and i owe you for that . sarah : we should call brady and just let him know that i 'm coming back with the baby , so could you please handle that ? because i do n't think i could go through with it . rex : yeah , yeah . but you know , why do n't we -- why do n't we just wait until we get back to salem ? sarah : do n't you want to let brady know that i 've come to my senses ? rex : i do , definitely , i do . sarah : then call him . rex : i ca n't -- i can't . he does n't have access to a phone right now . sarah : what ? did he not pay his phone bill or something ? rex : no , not exactly . sarah : brady 's a zillionaire . how does he not have access to a phone ? rex : because ... he 's in jail . rafe : damn it . forgot to call rex back . eli : hey , rafe . i just took victor 's statement . rafe : oh , yeah ? did he corroborate what brady said ? eli : absolutely not . he said it was kristen , and brady 's covering for her . rafe : oh , well , a knife to the chest -- that does sound more like kristen 's m.o . eli : yeah . i 'm on my way to the salem inn to talk to kristen right now . rafe : oh , well , she was just in the interrogation room right before i left here , talking to lani . i assumed that they were talking about her missing the baby . maybe i was wrong . lani : you should n't say another word to me , not without an attorney present . you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . kristen : please , please . lani : if you can not afford ... kristen : lani , just hear me out , please . i need you to hear me out . you 're my friend . probably the closest one that i have ever had . and you 're talking about the convent , you know , us being back there . remember ? and ... i remember telling you , do n't you ever give up . and i supported you when we came back here , and i helped you get the goods on gabi . i even encouraged you . i encouraged you to fight your way back into eli 's life because you deserve a happy ending . and i ... i really believed that if it was n't for me that you would be back in the convent . lani : are you asking me to let you go ? kristen : yes . i knew my daughter could be at risk of certain cancers lani : i will go to bat for you with the d.a . 's office , kristen , but i ca n't sit here and act like i do n't know that you stabbed victor . kristen : hey , lani . lani . lani , please . lani : kristen . kristen : yes , i know . i held my baby one time , just once , and that was right after she was born . victor and xander stole her from me -- listen to me . i need you to listen to me . they stole her from me , and they hid her away in plain sight all this time . i have looked at my daughter and i have grieved my dead child . and you can go ahead . you can charge me for attempted murder if you want . but i wo n't let you stop me from holding my child again . do you understand ? lani : kristen , you took a chance . you confessed to a crime , a serious crime , to a detective in a police station . kristen : i thought i was baring my soul to a friend during a time i 'm most vulnerable . lani : you can say that to your attorney . kristen : lani . listen , please . please . you lost david . you lost david before you ever knew him . that does n't still make you -- it makes you a mother . you still are a mother . do n't you understand ? you 're just the same as me . and if i could give you that chance back to see your little boy , you know i would do it . please . please . all i 'm asking is for you to give me a chance . just let me be free so that i -- i can go get my little girl . my rachel , please . sarah : brady , he ... he really stabbed victor ? rex : that 's what my mom said , yeah . sarah : and now he 's in custody ? so when i bring the baby back to salem , the only parent that she 's going to have is kristen dimera ? rex : only until brady is cleared of the charges . sarah : if . if brady is cleared of the charges . he could go to prison , and then the only person mickey will have is kristen . rex : i understand that kristen has changed . sarah : who told you that ? rex : my dad -- he said that she spent a year in a convent . sarah : oh , did you get any other character references while you were asking ? did you ask nicole or brady or eric or john or marlena or susan or anyone else ? rex : no , no . sarah : so you convinced me to take a defenseless child back to salem and hand her over to kristen dimera because you heard that she changed ? let me tell you something . i live in the same city as that woman , and the whole grieving mother thing , it 's an act , because that woman would stab her best friend in the back to get what she wants . gabi : is this about dimera ? jake : what the hell is dimera ? gabi : oh , my -- come on . okay , you know this . you know that i 'm fighting abigail and chad over control of the company , right ? jake : wrong . i 'm a mechanic . i work in a garage . gabi : do n't give me that . okay , listen , if this is about dimera enterprises and taking over on your own , just let me in on the plan . please , we can do it together . do n't you see this ? jake : lady , get your hands off me , please . i do n't know you from adam . this is the first time i 've ever laid eyes on you . gabi : why are you lying to me ? abigail : i know that you 're upset . chad : are n't you ? you 're the one that was drugged . abigail : yes , i am upset . all i 'm -- i 'm just saying that i believe rafe . i do n't think that he is covering for gabi .

e.j . : mm - hmm . why did you do that ? nicole : excuse me ? e.j . : why did you fire him ? i mean , did it have something to do with his gambling problems , or is there something else i do n't know about ?

e.j . : [ chuckles ] who indeed ? nicole : you know , so now that he 's out of our lives , why bother ? e.j . : why indeed ? nicole : i mean , uh , why do some big investigation into a nobody ? who cares ?

[ roars ] kate : if you do n't stop , i swear to god , i am gon na call rafe and tell him everything ! rafe : i love you , and i support you , but this is not right . you can not keep arianna away from will or sonny . gabi : that 's not what i 'm trying to do , okay ? this agreement is a precaution . rafe : against what ? gabi : look , will 's the one that wanted this in writing to protect himself , and i 'm trying to do the same thing , all right ? i would never , ever keep will and sonny away from arianna . i want them to see her as often as they want to , and i would never stop them . rafe : mm - hmm . even if nick demanded it ? abigail : nick came to me and asked about a lawyer . i did n't know why , but i referred him to aiden jennings . maggie : the lawyer that represented jj . abigail : mm - hmm . maggie : what did nick want aiden to do ? sami : draw up papers that allow will to see his daughter every other weekend . maggie : but i thought gabi and will were getting along . sami : oh , they are . nick , on the other hand -- well , i 'm sure that he 's the one pressing for this , and he convinced gabi that this is just a lawyer 's move , a starting point in the negotiations . and of course gabi believes whatever nick tells her . abigail : i 've tried talking to him . sami : everyone has . at this point , we 're just hoping that you can get through to him , maggie . will you please talk to nick and help him see what a mistake this is ? nick : [ sighs ] so you 're saying ... that you would have no problem with your fiancée seeing that photo of you and abigail ? she would have no problem with your ... ravishing my cousin in the old horton family homestead ? [ chuckles ] we both know that sami would never forgive you . do you want to make it to the altar this time ? do you want to continue to live a life with your children ? tell me again ... that i do n't have any power over you . ej : now , you listen to me very carefully . if one word , one word ... of this gets back to samantha , you will be very , very sorry . nick : that the best you got ? [ chuckles ] it just -- it sounds a little generic . ej : you can not even begin to imagine what i can do to you . nick : what 's the worst you can do to me , ej ? kill me ? across america , people are taking charge of roman : look , like i told your mom , i ca n't take mrs. van hopper to the gala . mm - mm , no . do n't you do that to me . ciara : but you promised you would help me .

'cause i - i can help you do that . here , let me help you . in fact , i think i have rafe 's number right here , right here on my phone . want to call ? no , you do n't . you do n't , do you ? i warned you that i would not let you hurt the people i care about . jordan : and how am i doing that ? kate : ha . jordan : ugh , you 're the one that 's hurting , kate . you 're the one that 's in love with a man that does n't love you back . why do n't you get that ? kate : why do n't you get it that rafe is my friend , and i will not let you hurt him ? jordan : that is not what i 'm doing ! that 's not what i 'm doing ! but you 're too busy blaming me for rafe falling out of love with you , and , newsflash , he was never in love with you ! kate : you 're really good at changing the subject , are n't you ? really , really good at that . but if you 're so harmless and you 're so innocent , then why do you have more aliases than p. diddy ? rafe : when were you planning on telling me about this ? hmm ? you know what i think ? i think that you were too ashamed to tell me because you know that this whole agreement is wrong . gabi : no . it 's not wrong to do whatever it takes to make sure that i am never separated from my daughter . rafe : oh , please , like will would ever do that . gabi : you do n't know what might happen ! rafe : well , i know that a judge would never keep your little girl from you . gabi : you do n't understand ! i am talking about them keeping me away from her . maggie : wish me luck . sami : [ chuckles ] abigail : good luck . maggie : [ chuckles ] sami : oh , uh , one more thing . nick should n't know that i asked you to speak to him . maggie : and why would i tell him that ? i do n't want the conversation to be over before it starts . sami : [ laughs ] abigail : thank you . maggie : i 'll be in touch . sami : [ sighs ] please , god , let him listen to her . nick : we both know that you 're not gon na kill me , ej , because that 's not who you are anymore . i do n't know if it was having kids , falling in love , but i think you 're soft now . i do n't think you have it in you anymore . ej : are you willing to bet your life on that theory ? nick : i do n't think you killed percy either . i think you played the big , bad dimera and scared him into submission . sent him away . ej : mr. ruggles was a lackey . i can assure you i will not be so kindhearted when it comes to meting out your punishment . nick : there is nothing ... nothing ... that you could do to me that would even begin to compare to the hell that i went through in prison . so spare me your empty threats , because i 'm not afraid of you . you see , my threats are n't empty . so you should be afraid of me . you 'd be wise to remember that . roman : [ sighs ] ciara ... you listen to me , okay ? the last thing i want to do is let you down . but your school will be fine . ciara : uncle roman , why are you being so mean ? roman : ciara , come -- i 'm -- ciara : i miss my daddy so much , and all i have is you . roman : oh , no . no , no , no -- no , no , that 's not fair . do n't you do that .

[ scene_break ] [ knocking ] sonny : dad . justin : [ laughs ] sonny . good to see you . sonny : what a surprise . i was waiting on your phone call . justin : well , i was already on my way home when i got your message , so ... sonny : well , i 'm glad you 're here . justin : yeah , me too . we got a lot to talk about . i 've been worried about you , sonny . sonny : did you just get in ? justin : dropped off my things at victor 's and came right over here . have you seen mom ? sonny : no . no . she was n't there . justin : i was wondering if you might know where she is . [ scene_break ] adrienne : a little surprised you asked me to meet you here . lucas : yeah . yeah . i got to get a place of my own . i was living in my mom 's condo , which was great until she got bounced from the dimera house and stabbed me in the back . you remember that , right ? adrienne : yeah , slightly . i can understand the move though . lucas : yeah . yeah , this is just temporary , but i thought we needed a place to talk , you know , without being interrupted . adrienne : yeah . right . [ scene_break ] will : thanks for seeing me . aiden : sure . will : i want to apologize for the scene that that reporter made about paul and me the day of the fund - raiser . aiden : well , at least all the kids were gone and it did n't affect the donations , so ... will : that 's what john said . aiden : right . but you did n't need to come here and apologize . will : that 's not the only reason i 'm here . i need to talk to you about something -- someone , actually . aiden : okay . who 's that ? will : clyde weston . [ scene_break ] clyde : stefano dimera bought sonix magazine ? kate : right . clyde : and you think he 's behind your grandson writing that article about me ? kate : i do . clyde : why do you think that old sob would come after me ? kate : do n't flatter yourself . he 's putting the spotlight on you to get back at me . [ scene_break ] nicole : no , daniel . we ca n't start over . daniel : what ? why not ? nicole : what -- because i said no , as in hell no . daniel : okay . what is with the about - face ? nicole : well , i 've been doing some thinking , and i 've decided that how you want things to be between us just is n't -- it does n't work for me . i deserve better than that . [ scene_break ] [ dramatic music ] hope : i do n't know a whole lot about will and sonny , but marlena said that will is working really hard to make things right . rafe : well , i hope so . i really do , because if that marriage breaks up , gabi does not want arianna to get caught in the fallout . hope : i understand that . maybe she should talk to an attorney . rafe : that 's a good idea . she does n't have one right now . ej used to be her attorney . hope : i remember . rafe : and i got to say , as much as i could n't stand the guy , he was a pretty damn good attorney . hope : yeah . he was . rafe : he was there for her and fought for her . i feel like that 's what she needs right now is someone to fight for her . hope : i think i know just the guy .

[ scene_break ] kate : dimera enterprises acquires sonix magazine , and the first thing that happens is that my grandson is assigned an article to write about the man i 'm seeing . clyde : well ... i do n't think that 's a coincidence . i think that 's stefano dimera trying to get even . he may be doing that by coming after me , but i 'm guessing he 's got another motive altogether . kate : what 's that ? clyde : he 's still not over losing you . [ scene_break ] daniel : i do n't know where this is coming from . nicole : oh , well , welcome to my world because i do n't know where half the things you do are coming from . daniel : okay , i know i kind of bit your head off last night ... nicole : kind of ? daniel : but i was worried about -- melanie . nicole : yeah , i know . and automatically , her problems are my fault . and when i tried to explain things to you , you would n't even listen to me . daniel : you 're right , and i 'm wrong . and i 'd like to make it up to you . nicole : i will hear everything you have to say . you can call me any name in the book . all right ? it 's a pretty good deal , right ?

[ scene_break ] will : my aunt hope does n't even know that i 'm writing the article . should i talk to her about clyde weston ? aiden : no . i thought maybe she suggested you speak to me . will : well , she did n't . now , about that donation that mr. weston made to the university hospital charity fund , that was supposed to be anonymous , right ? aiden : [ chuckles ] am i not getting through to you ? will : why would n't you want to talk about the donation ? my cousin , abigail , works at the hospital . she 's in charge of that project . she said it 's gon na help a lot of people , and mr. weston is basically underwriting it . aiden : so quote her . will : i do n't want to make any wrong assumptions here . aiden : mm - hmm . will : but based on how everyone is acting -- you , mr. weston -- it really seems like this guy 's got something he 's hiding . aiden : get out of my office . now . [ scene_break ] [ suspenseful music ] rafe : i like aiden . i like him a lot . you know , he twisted the mayor 's arm , kept me out of prison , right ? hope : yeah . rafe : yeah . you really think he 'd be interested in taking on gabi as a client ? hope : well , i know that he called and offered to represent her after she got arrested . well ... on second thought , scratch that idea . forget i even suggested it . rafe : w - wait . what ? so you do n't think that he would do it ? hope : no , no , no , i think he might , but you go ahead , you ask him , and just leave my name out of it , okay ? rafe : is there a problem ? hope : no , there 's no problem . okay , aiden and i are on opposite sides of a couple cases right now . rafe : oh . hope : it 's still taking some getting used to , that 's for sure . but , you know , i just think , to avoid future conflict , i should steer clear of recommending him right now . rafe : it 's about clyde weston , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] clyde : i can understand why stefano would be bitter about losing a woman like you . kate : that 's very sweet , but mainly , i think it was the fact that his pride was hurt and he was still angry . so he bought the magazine , had will assigned to the article , and he told him to go after you . i could shoot him . clyde : how do you really feel about stefano ? kate : i think that 's pretty obvious , is n't it ? clyde : well , it 's obvious that he 's not over you . but i 'm just wondering if perhaps you might feel the same way about him . [ scene_break ] daniel : look , i want to -- i want to fix this , but you do n't seem to want to stop being mad . nicole : could you just do me a favor ? get out of my face . daniel : you got it . [ dramatic music ] [ ominous music ] hope : promise me that if you do speak to aiden , you wo n't say anything about this conversation . rafe : no . are you really saying this right now ? hope : i am . rafe : you know that i would never say a damn thing . hope : well , i just have to put it out there . okay ? rafe : okay . okay . hope : hypothetically ... rafe : mm - hmm . hope : if i were to ask you if you 're investigating clyde weston ... rafe : hypothetically ? hope : yeah . rafe : i might have to say yes . hope : and hypothetically , do you happen to know anything about him ? rafe : well , i know what i think . hope : which is ? rafe : i think that his `` good ol ' boy `` act is just that . i think he 's a real mean guy . hope : but you ca n't base your investigation on that now , can you ? rafe : no . i ca n't . hope : what about victor ? you 're working for him . has he said anything ? rafe : all i know is , for some reason , victor did n't try and stop clyde from pretty much pushing him out of the trucking business . hope : yeah , i know . we discussed that last time . rafe : yeah . hope : do you think victor 's scared ? rafe : [ scoffs ] scared ? no . it 's more like he 's wary , which , if aiden is representing clyde , you might want to be also . hope : are you saying i should back off ? rafe : well , like you would ever do that . hope : never . rafe : but i am telling you to be careful . [ scene_break ] [ suspenseful music ] justin : calm down , all right ? let me just tell you why i did it . sonny : i do n't understand why the members of this family wo n't let me handle this my way . justin : because we feel that will has been manipulating the situation ever since he started interviewing paul , and now that we know what you two meant to each other ... sonny : yeah , but , dad , that was in the past . justin : is it ? sonny : yes . i am married to will . justin : and yet will is n't playing as fair as you are , sonny . sonny : how do you know that ? justin : first of all , he tried to keep john from knowing that he 's paul 's father just so he could keep paul away from you . sonny : how do you know what will said to john ? dad , did you talk to john ? justin : do n't worry , i promised john that i would n't tell anyone that paul is his son . sonny : well , then , what did you tell paul when you talked to him ? justin : that he should come back to salem . [ scene_break ] adrienne : i thought we were gon na take things as they come . lucas : right . listen . i 'm not trying to pressure you at all . i 'm really not . but if justin already knows about us , what 's gon na happen when he comes back ? adrienne : we do n't know justin 's coming back . lucas : justin 's coming back , trust me . trust me , he 'll come back with some sob story as to why he had this affair with the girl in dubai . adrienne : you 're thinking about what your mother said yesterday , are n't you ? that i always go crawling back . lucas : listen , adrienne , i 'm not judging you . i 'm not . you 're married . i understand it . i was married to sami . i know what it 's like when you spend a lot of time with somebody . it 's hard to move on . it 's hard to move on , especially when there 's kids involved . adrienne : but you finally did it . lucas : well , she was the one who instigated that she had a choice to make , and i guess i did n't make the cut , but we 're friends . you know , we 're still friends , and that 's worth a lot . adrienne : is that what you 're saying to me ? that you 'd rather be friends and end what we have now ? lucas : yes . yeah , maybe i am . [ scene_break ] daniel : [ groans ] damn it ! damn it to hell ! maggie : daniel , what happened ? nicole : [ sighs ] okay . you let xander think that you 're available . that 's good . oh . but you did it by unloading on the man that you love . you just may be available , honey bun . serena : i will not let you destroy my life , xander . i swear to god i will take you down with me , and i will . nicole : but those two are up to something -- and something bad . oh . that witch serena , she 's playing eric and melanie and even daniel . the only way i 'm gon na find out what she 's doing is to get closer to xander . what if -- what if he did n't buy my argument with daniel ? what if i screwed up things with daniel for nothing ? what am i gon na do ? damage control . [ knocking ] xander : excuse me . am i interrupting something ? nicole : no . not at all . [ scene_break ] will : hey , gabriel , i wanted to thank you for sending over all that material on paul narita . the trouble is that none of it had any bite . yeah , they 're either saying that the guy 's a traitor to professional sports or else the guy comes off like a martyred saint , so i was wondering if -- yeah , i know that i 'm supposed to be working on the clyde weston profile , and you can tell zoe that that 's what i 'm doing . yeah , i 'll let you know when i 'm ready to go to poplar bluff . rafe : and why would you be going to poplar bluff ? [ scene_break ] [ dramatic music ] kate : i tried very hard to be a good wife to stefano , and he turned his back on me . i have nothing but contempt for him , nothing . so you have nothing to be concerned about . clyde : not even from the magazine article ? kate : no . if he truly felt threatened by you , he 'd probably put a microchip in your brain or something like that . clyde : so you really think that this whole thing is just about stefano trying to irritate you ? kate : i do . clyde : well , then ... [ clears throat ] maybe there 's a way that you and i can turn this thing around on the old bastard . [ scene_break ] sonny : i ca n't believe this , dad . like , why would you tell him to come back to salem ? justin : actually , i told him that it was his decision . sonny : what about my decision ? justin : sonny , you deserve the right to make a clear choice here . sonny : i did make a clear choice . i chose will . justin : even though he cheated on you and lied about it ? sonny : do n't you feel like a hypocrite saying that ? justin : this is n't about me . all right ? i 'm trying to look out for you , sonny . sonny : okay , well , let me ask you a question . how is what will did to me any different from what you did to mom or what mom did to you ? [ scene_break ] so it 's true ? [ scoffs ] you thought about what kate said and decided she 's right . well , if it 's gon na end anyway , i 'd just as soon it happened before i have a chance to fall any deeper . i see . well , okay , then , if that 's what you want , we 'll just ... wait a minute . wait , i 've been doing all the talking . you have n't told me what you want . i 'll be honest with you , lucas . when you texted me and told me you wanted to meet me in a hotel room , i realized i had two choices . i could either insist that we meet in a public place , or i could meet you in your hotel room knowing exactly what was going to happen . but it never occurred to me that you were gon na try to dump me . do n't you know that 's not what i want ? lucas , i know you want to do the right thing , but you do n't invite a woman to your hotel room to end a relationship with her . listen to me . i do n't want it to end . i mean , i 'm willing to end it if it 's best for both of us , but -- you still have n't told me what you want . [ dramatic music ] [ sighs ] no , nothing 's wrong , just cursing myself for being a klutz . i set the box here and knocked this over and just -- pfft . well , do you have a broom and dustpan ? [ sighs ] yes , i do . oh . i got it . well , i came by because i have some wonderful news . oh , good . i could use it . here . well , victor -- he got somebody at the state department to talk to him about brady and melanie . yeah ? well , what did he -- what did he find out ? they were cleared to leave italy several hours ago . oh , man , that is great ! that is great . and he also found out that they have entered u.s . airspace , and they 'll be home soon . [ sighs ] so this ordeal is over . that is the best thing you could 've told me because nothing else -- nothing else really , really matters . is there something else on your mind ? no . no . nothing big . did i miss any glass ? no . no . this is about it . okay . do you want to talk about this ... not big thing ? well , it 's -- yeah , it 's nicole . [ maggie laughs ] okay . why is that no surprise ? no , this is something i did this time . okay . well , i 'll be the judge of that , okay ? well , last night , you know , we were together when melanie called to tell me what was going on . then nicole and i were talking afterwards , and it turns out that she helped melanie get some information and did not tell me . what kind of information ? well , the kind that made melanie and brady take a trip to italy . so this is something that you did ? i just -- i overreacted . how ? nicole did n't mean to keep this from me , and she also had no way of knowing the information would be so important to melanie and brady . okay . i tried to clear the air today , and she was not about to let it go , so she just let me -- just let me have it . okay . i 'll admit , i 'm gon na be on your side . okay ? if nicole ca n't accept what you said in a moment like that , maybe she 's not the woman for you . [ door closes ] no , you 're not interrupting at all . you were talking to yourself . you heard ? i could n't hear what you were saying , but i 'm pretty sure i know what it was about . i saw that argument you had with daniel . are you two having problems ? oh , i do n't want to bore you with that . so what 's up with you ? what brings you here ? do n't pretend like nothing 's wrong . that was a full - on argument , and he walked out . but the reason i 'm here is , i think you 're a nice lady , and i wanted to make sure you 're okay . oh , well , that is so sweet . is there anything i can do ? distract me . how ? i do n't know . we can go get a coffee or a drink , preferably the latter , hang out , talk . sounds good . good . let 's go . but i do n't think i 'd better . [ dramatic music ] [ lucas sighs ] that was the best way anyone has ever called me an idiot . [ laughs ] i was n't calling you an idiot . i just did n't think you 'd have me up here to break up with me . yeah , about that , it really seemed like a good idea at the time . [ laughs ] well , i think my coming up here was the best idea , no matter what happens . and i promise you , i do n't have any regrets , and i hope you do n't either . mm - mm . [ romantic music ] i am not a perfect man , but i 'm your father , and all i want -- all i want is for you to be happy . and , sonny , it is hard to be happy if you 're not with the right partner . and i thought paul seemed like a great guy . paul is a great guy , but i 'm with will . look me in the eye and tell me that you do n't still have feelings for paul and convince me that you are n't just working so hard to make this marriage work with will because you think that 's what you 're supposed to do . all marriages have rough patches . i learned that watching you and mom . touché . but , sonny , you are a young man with a long life ahead of you , so all i 'm asking is for you to be honest with yourself , honest with how you feel and what 's in your heart and then act on that because i do n't want you to live with any regrets in your life . i do n't want that either . good . think about what i said . all right ? we 'll talk later . i 'm going to poplar bluff for an article that i 'm writing . about clyde weston ? that 's the assignment that i was given . i 'm not crazy about writing it , and clyde weston 's not crazy about having it written . can you get out of it ? not without ticking off my editor . she 'll just send someone else to write it anyway . well , that may be the better option . what are you saying ? and why do you care whether or not i write this thing ? because , will , you 're the father of my niece , which makes you family . you did n't answer my question . can you ever just not ask questions ? will , i 'm telling you , just stay the hell away from clyde weston , all right ? - why ? - i mean it . weston wants you to believe that he 's just some regular old redneck . he 's not . the guy 's scary . so you 're saying that there is something to find here -- will . do n't . do n't do it , okay ? think about your daughter . stay the hell away from clyde . i 'm telling you . he 's bad news . [ ominous music ] what exactly do you have in mind for stefano ? well , i know how close you and will are . let me just say , i 'm gon na use all my influence to make sure that he presents you in a very positive light . and of course you wo n't let on to will that i asked you to do that . no , of course i know better than that . there 's no way i want stefano to think that i 'm doing anything to make will cross him for any reason . you think he 'd take it out on will ? [ sighs ] i do n't know . i hope not . oh , okay . i need to go . i have a meeting at mad world . you give them hell at that meeting , girl . you know i will .

[ babbles ] [ door opens ] [ giggles ] how was your day ? oh , sorry . time - out . bad question . it 's okay . i think we can talk about it . you know , i 've been thinking , and i 've been thinking that ... under the circumstances , we should make a pact not to talk about our work lives . sounds like a plan . and it will give us more time to have fun , be with the kids ... [ mumbles ] [ both laugh ] all right . great . well , you know , i am looking forward to seeing your dad and julie later . i know , i know , they 're excited to see you too , spend time with you . mm - hmm . let 's go get the kids . come on . okay , let 's go get those kids , but there is something i need to do first . client call ? oh , did you want me to leave ? wait in the car , earplugs , next ... no , i think you 're gon na need to stick around for this one . [ romantic music ] i think we should take this thing public , go have a nice dinner , just the two of us . i think that 's a great idea . okay . i see . i 'm actually not too far from there . thanks . the reporter 's name is will horton . the magazine is called sonix . it 's with an x . you can find his picture on their website . because he 's coming down there to poplar bluff to find out about me , and i want you to roll out the welcome wagon . ah . sorry i 'm late . i know you wanted to get to the bank before it closed . no worries . i can still make it . are you okay ? yeah , sure . because you seem a little on edge . what ? it 's no big deal . it can wait . sonny , what i have to say ca n't wait . okay . you and arianna mean everything to me . i think i need to focus a lot less on my work and a lot more on you two . i 'm gon na tell zoe that i ca n't -- i ca n't take the clyde weston assignment . not looking forward to going to poplar bluff ? there 's more to it than that , sonny . are you sure about this ? positive .

[ arianna babbles ] [ dramatic music ] rafe : think about your daughter . stay the hell away from clyde . i 'm telling you , he 's bad news . you know i would love to take you out for a drink , but daniel 's like family to me . i probably should n't have even come here . i understand . i hope you 're gon na be okay . oh , i 'll be fine . [ soft music ] [ sighs ] so i said all those things to daniel for nothing . what have i done ? i 've known nicole a whole lot longer than you , and every relationship she 's gotten into has imploded . yeah . i know all about her past . and i 've had my concerns too , which is why i 've thrown up so many roadblocks . just -- i was n't sure nicole was able to fully commit to me , that her heart was in the right place , but -- but now , mom , i believe it is . oh , honey . oh , if nicole wo n't give you the time of day ... okay , mom , she is the woman for me . she is the one . what about nicole ? she told you to take a hike ? mm - hmm . look , she was just venting . i 'm gon na give her a little space , everything will work out , and we will be -- we will be just fine . well , i hope you 're right . mom , i know i am . `` i 'm sorry i was such a bitch to you today . i do n't know what came over me . `` [ laughs ] well , that is such a lie . you 'd be having martinis and pumping xander right now for information if he was n't so honorable about his friendship with daniel . [ sighs ] daniel was so sweet , trying to make things right . you know what ? i 'm just gon na send this text . to hell with xander .

[ dramatic music ] male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] brady : eli , if you 'd stop and think about it , you 'd realize i have no idea where kristen is . i have n't seen her since she -- she was here yesterday . and i had a police escort to my own arraignment . eli : for something you did n't do . brady : if i did n't stab my grandfather , why the hell would i confess to it ? eli : to cover for kristen . brady : i would n't do that , man . eli : brady , it 's over . victor woke up . brady : what ? eli : he made it very clear that you were n't the one that stabbed him . brady : he 's -- he 's alive ? he 's alive , right ? eli : yeah , he 's alive and talking . brady : is -- is he gon na be okay ? eli : i do n't know . you have to talk to his doctors about that . but right now , you need to tell me where kristen is . you see , after victor told me that you were n't the one who stabbed him , he told me who did . yeah , she 's wanted for attempted murder . lani : look , kristen , we are in this together . okay ? kristen : okay . lani : you left your phone at the station last night , so i brought it back for you . it 's dead , but i have a charger . now drink your coffee while it 's still hot . kristen : all right , you know , lani , i have been thinking about this all night long , and you just got back with eli , you just got your job back , and i -- i do n't want you to screw up your life for me . lani : kristen , this is my decision , okay ? you did n't force me to do anything . sarah stole your baby and all you 're trying to do is get her back . and i will do anything that i can to help you . sarah : when you told me that brady was in jail , you have to see that i had no choice . i -- i had to do anything i could to keep you from telling kristen where we are -- i mean , rex , god , she wears masks and pretends to be other people . she -- she let nicole think that her child , her daughter , was dead . rex ... she kills people ! and i 'm just supposed to let her be mickey 's mom ? i mean , she should n't even be at large , let alone have a child . when you called her ... i realized that i ca n't trust you any more than i can trust xander . xander : is it about victor ? maggie : what are you talking about ? is something wrong with victor ? xander : no , no , it 's just he was very sorry he could n't make it to visit you yesterday . maggie : no . it 's about sarah . the last time i saw her , she was here in her wedding dress . she was about to marry you . and she was so happy . and the next thing i know , the wedding 's off . and i want to know why . xander : it was my fault . maggie : you know , for months , everyone was trying to warn sarah about you . but she knew what she was getting into . i need to know why she changed her mind . what are n't you telling me ? anything from you , maggie . xander : i 'm not keeping anything from you , maggie . i just think the closer we got to the wedding , sarah started thinking about everything that went wrong with rex and just -- she got cold feet . maggie : but why did n't she tell me that ? xander : well , she did n't want you to know , to worry about her . pam : hey , maggie , sorry to hear about your old man . maggie : what -- what happened ? pam : you did n't know he got stabbed ? nicole : that must 've been horrible to wake up like that . eric : it 's just i never know when it 's gon na , you know , hit me . just when i 'm starting to accept it , it just blindsided me again . nicole : i know . grief has a life of its own , so i guess we just have to , i do n't know , ride the wave , waves ? eric : when you say `` we , `` that 's what helps . just knowing you and i and holly are `` we . `` nicole : and always will be . eric : when you came in , you looked like you were gon na tell me something . nicole : oh , i -- not now . eric : no , it seemed important . nicole : okay , well , it was on the news . and it turns out you and i were right , brady did n't stab victor . kristen did . eric : she confessed ? nicole : no , victor woke up and told the cops it was kristen . and this will come as a surprise . she 's gone missing . eric : well , did they release brady ? nicole : not yet . there 's a lot of red tape , so that 's gon na take a while . eric : well , there 's not much we can do right now except wait . nicole : actually , um , i have an idea of something we can do . [ both chuckle ] brady : what a surprise , huh ? not only does my grandfather say that i did n't do it , his grandson , he says the person that did do it is kristen , the woman he despises more than anyone in the world . yeah , because we both know that victor kiriakis , he always tells the truth . eli : well , if kristen is innocent , why has she disappeared ? brady : what do you mean ? eli : it 's like you said yesterday . she was here , you went to the arraignment , i went to the hospital . everyone assumed that she went back to the salem inn , but she was n't there . no one had heard from her . what a coincidence , right ? victor wakes up , says that she stabbed him , kristen dimera suddenly vanishes . now i do n't know about you , but i think she 's making a run for it . kristen : i need to say something to you . i ca n't believe that you are doing this for me , and i really , really do not want to drag you down with me like i -- i 've done with brady . lani : kristen , we have been over that , okay ? look , we are best friends , and we are sticking together . and we are gon na get your little girl and we are gon na bring her back where she belongs . and that 's with you . [ liquid squirts ] sarah : you 're hungry , are n't you ? if i take it out , you have to swear , swear that you will not call for help . do not make me regret this . it 's the 6 : 10 brady : kristen 's not making a run for it , eli . she 's out there looking for our baby , since the police do n't seem to be . eli : come on , man , that 's bull , and you know it . we 're gon na find sarah and the baby and we 're damn sure gon na find kristen . brady : just because victor says that she did it does n't make her guilty . eli : yeah , and just because you said that she 's innocent does n't make it true . brady , i know what you 're up to . all right , yesterday , you confessed because you knew that kristen was going to come in and turn herself in . you 're protecting the mother of your child because you want her free when rachel 's found . brady : i confessed because it was the truth . eli : brady , did you and kristen have a plan ? because i think that you put her up to it , maybe even found somewhere to hide out . i need you to tell me where the hell kristen is . the longer this drags out , the worse it is for her . lani : your phone has enough power to check your messages . kristen : okay . i wonder if sarah had a change of heart and actually called me . lani : well , look , i think we tracked down anything that can possibly help us . kristen : all right , well , there 's a 312 . lani : that -- that 's chicago . kristen : i do n't recognize the number , though . lani : okay , well , just listen to it . kristen : all right . rex : kristen , hey , this is rex brady . um , could you call me back as soon as you get this message ? it 's really important . it 's about -- [ beeping ] rex : can you just untie one hand , please ? sarah : no . rex : you took the gag off . did i scream ? i do n't think so . sarah : no , that 's because you think you can talk me into letting you go , and it 's just not gon na happen . rex : i almost did . sarah : shut up . rex : no , last night , i almost convinced you ... sarah : that was last night ! rex : ... that you can not lie to this girl for the rest of her life ! sarah : you think that she should know the truth ? do you think that she should know that her biological mother is a sociopath ? no , i 'm sorry , not a sociopath , she 's a psychopath . she 's a murderer . do you think that she should know that she was conceived when her biological mother tricked her biological father into thinking that she was someone else ? rex : yeah , look , i get it , just add it to the long laundry list of bad things that kristen dimera has done . sarah : oh , my god ! rex , how can you be so flip about this ? it is not about bad things . she did the worst thing that you could possibly do . she murdered another human being ! rex : i know , and there is a very large social and legal network that will protect mackenzie . sarah : oh , my god . right . god , why did n't i think of that ? so this -- this large social and legal network , they 're gon na -- they 're gon na move in with kristen and mackenzie ? they 're gon na monitor them and follow them wherever they go and make sure that kristen dimera , who is genetically predestined just by the virtue of her name , to do crazy and/or evil things , does n't in fact do anything crazy or evil ? rex : and what you 're doing right now is not crazy ? sarah : oh , god , i 'm putting the gag back on . rex : no , no , no , stop , stop -- listen . you are making decisions based on what you think is best , your decisions . you 're trying to play god right now , are you kidding me ? that 's something kristen dimera does or victor kiriakis ! sarah : just shut up ! brady will go to prison . my mother is in prison , which means that my little girl could end up alone in that mausoleum with kristen and victor . rex : she is not your little girl . sarah : no little girl should have to go through that . rex : i understand that you 've been through a lot of trauma , okay , with -- with the accident and the baby switch . but i also know when you recover from that trauma , you will regret everything that you 're doing right now . everything that you 've done ! sarah : are you done eating ? because you are done talking . maggie : he was stabbed ! oh , god , is he all right ? xander : you 've got a big mouth , you know that ? maggie : for telling me that he was stabbed ? what , did you think i did n't need to know this ? how is he ? xander : he 's fine . lost a little bit of blood , that 's all . maggie : and you were n't gon na tell me ? you said he was sorry he could n't come to visit and you just skipped over the fact that he was stabbed ? xander : he 's gon na be okay . maggie : who did it ? xander : does it matter ? pam : it was his grandson . brady something . maggie : what ? is that true ? but why ? why , xander ? damn it , tell me why ! serest though , all right ? nicole : oh , you 're not ? holly : i 'm not hungry . nicole : oh , you 're not ? hmm , okay . well , you can go play in the playground . mommy will clean up here and then i 'll push you on a swing , okay ? just stay where we can see you , though , all right ? go , go , go , go , go ! you okay ? eric : yeah . why ? nicole : because i realized -- and being me , my realizations always come too late , or always come after the damage is done -- eric : nicole , i do n't know what you 're talking about . nicole : i -- i 'm just saying that maybe this is just over - the - top . eric : i 'm sorry . i 'm still lost . nicole : eric , i know that you 're grieving over mickey and here i drag you to a picnic with holly , and -- eric : nicole ... nicole : demonstrating , once again , my stunning insensitivity and i am so sorry . look , i -- i do n't think that holly could replace mickey or that you need cheering up , and i hate when people tell other people not to feel what they 're feeling or just to get over it , and i just want us -- i just want us to -- you 're not alone . that 's all i 'm trying to say . eric : nicole , if this is over - the - top , it 's exactly what i need . i know you 're trying not to allow me to forget mickey . you 're reminding me that there are other important things in my life . wonderful things . like you . and that potato salad .
