you hated deimos as much as i did , which is why you ordered xander to get rid of him . victor : but you beat him to the punch . or the knife , whatever the case may be . and you know what they say , do the crime , do the time . nicole : i did do the time . when i was forced to break eric 's heart . when i was forced to rip holly from her home and her family . when i was forced to play house with that demented mercenary who took pleasure in tormenting me every day . and when we did try to escape , i was blown to hell , literally . eric : okay , nicole , do n't waste your breath . nicole : and i spent months trying to will myself to stay alive so that i could find my way back to holly , and now she 's missing . victor : what goes around comes around . nicole : are you saying i deserve this ?

and you have the nerve to talk to her like that . what kind of monster are you ? victor : do n't take that tone with me , missy . you are a guest in this house . sarah : of my mom 's . so unless you want to hear what she thinks about you verbally assaulting the mother of her grandchild , you better back the hell off and apologize . victor : i tell 'em like i see 'em . sarah : i am so , so sorry . he 's completely out of line . nicole : i just want my daughter back . sarah : i know , i know . and we are gon na -- we are gon na make that happen . i have no doubt that we are gon na find holly . nicole : [ sobs ] brady : wow , you really are a pig , you know that ?

chloe : yeah , i just talked to hope . ted laurent , the d.a . , he worked out a deal with hector to get holly back . stefan : that 's great . chloe : yeah , but it 's risky . ted 's gon na do the handoff by himself because hector said no cops , and i do n't know i we can trust him , either one of them . is everything okay ?

zoey : sonny kiriakis , can i ask where you 're going ? sonny : inside . jordan ridgway 's murderer is about to go on trial and i 'm testifying against evan -- or christian maddox . zoey : hmm . i would n't do that if i were you . eli : what the hell are you thinking , lani ? helping kristen escape , you 're gon na get in so much trouble for this . rafe : what 's wrong ? is it about kristen ? kristen : why else would rex be calling me ? he knows that sarah and rachel are in paris . that 's -- that 's got to be it . lani : it 's a good theory , i guess . kristen : it is more than a theory . this is the break i have been praying for . and when we find rex , we will find sarah , and then we 'll be able to bring my daughter home . rex : how is maggie responsible for your baby 's death ? sarah : i was in labor . adrienne was driving me to the hospital . my mom is the one that ran us off the road . she had been drinking . rex : i know , that -- that 's what she 's in prison for ... oh , my god . she did n't just kill adrienne , did she ? sarah : she killed my baby , too . maggie : if that baby 's alive , where is she ? where is she ? xander : with sarah . it was n't brady and kristen 's baby that died that night . maggie : no . xander : it was sarah 's . maggie : no . that does n't make any sense . mickey is n't dead . mickey 's a beautiful little girl who battled so hard to beat cancer . i miss her so much . but the time i had with her was such a blessing . xander : i love her , too , maggie . maggie : i miss her every day . but i know she has a good life with sarah 'cause sarah 's a wonderful mother . xander : she is , but she 's not that baby 's mother . maggie : how can you say such horrible things ? mickey -- she faced down death and she survived . and she 's getting healthier every day , thanks to sarah 's love and her care . xander : that little girl that sarah brought home from the hospital did beat cancer , and sarah was there with her every step of the way . the baby was never hers . the little girl that eric and sarah thought that was their own was really kristen 's daughter , rachel . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] sonny : i 'm sorry , do i know you ? zoey : we have n't been properly introduced . i 'm zoey burge . sonny : christian 's sister ? zoey : that 's right . sonny : and you 're warning me not to testify because ? zoey : i 'm also his lawyer . so if you go up on that stand , i 'm gon na tear you to shreds . sonny : is that right ? zoey : mm - hmm . because you 're going to try to incriminate christian . sonny : well , he incriminated himself when he confessed to me and will . zoey : according to you . but it 's also my job to discredit you any way that i can , which means dredging up your sexual relationship you had with christian . in fact , i plan to expose every gory detail to the jury . sonny : go ahead . i have nothing to hide . zoey : no ? so you 're okay with your husband hearing every intimate detail about your extramarital relationship with christian ? because from what i hear , it was pretty hot and heavy . sonny : [ ahem ] will and i were separated at that time . he was in prison for a crime he did n't commit . zoey : oh , right , yes , it was actually your uncle 's wife that killed your mother . maggie : you 're saying that kristen is mickey 's mother ? xander : she is . but her name is rachel . maggie : that 's not possible . xander : i wish it were n't true . it breaks my heart to be here telling you this . maggie : but kristen and brady 's baby died at the hospital . xander : the baby that died that night was sarah 's . maggie : no ! xander : the two girls were switched in the nursery and sarah brought home the wrong baby . maggie : how do you know this ? xander : a dna test was run . i can show you the results . they -- they prove that mackenzie -- that rachel is really brady and kristen 's . maggie : oh , i ca n't believe this . how could the hospital make such a terrible mistake ? xander : these things happen , i guess . maggie : no , they don't . it 's not right . my daughter loves mickey . sarah 's been her mother from the day she was born . it 'll destroy her if that little girl is taken away from her . xander : i know . maggie : it 's wrong . it 's so wrong . i need to talk to justin -- xander : he knows about it . maggie : well , then , i hope he 's doing something about it because it 's unacceptable . and whoever on that hospital staff is to blame for this terrible mistake -- xander : it was n't a mistake , maggie ! maggie : what ? xander : the babies were switched on purpose . maggie : on purpose ? by who ? xander : by me . [ eerie off - key notes ] lani : okay , look , kristen , just calm down , okay ? kristen : calm down ? calm down ? no , this is the first lead that we 've had . lani : yes , it 's a lead . but we ca n't just sit here and assume that rex is helping sarah because she flew to london and he 's at a medical conference in paris . kristen : oh , my god , that 's just a big coincidence , huh ? lani : maybe it is . kristen : okay , you know what ? i believe that there is no medical conference in paris . i think that -- that rex made up that story so that he could leave the country and meet up with sarah . lani : they are not even together , so why would sarah reach out to him ? kristen : because sarah -- sarah 's smart and she needs someone to help her disappear again . and she hates xander for lying to her . and , you know , everyone else here in salem is just gon na track her down and try to get her back here . lani : okay . so if rex is helping sarah , why is he calling you ? rex : i know about the accident . like everyone else , i ... i was so relieved and grateful to hear that you ... you and your daughter were okay . sarah : except now everyone knows that mickey is n't my biological child . that xander switched kristen 's healthy baby with mine . rex : and you blame your mom for her death . sarah : of course i do . i do n't know what brady and kristen were told was the cause of death . i just -- when i was in labor on the side of the road , i just knew -- i knew something was wrong . i 've been a doctor too long not to know . i was just -- i was so terrified that i was gon na lose her right then and there . rex : she 's still your mom . sarah : you can say what you want . my daughter would still be alive if my mom had n't run us off the road . these are real people , not actors , sonny : are we done here ? or do you have more insensitive and insulting things to say to me ? zoey : i 'm trying to help you , sonny . as an officer of the court , i 'm glad justice was served and will was exonerated of murder . just like my brother will be . sonny : well , your brother put a gun on me on my husband and he admitted to what he did . zoey : did he ? sonny : in so many words . zoey : `` in so many words . `` sounds vague . sonny : well , it was clear to me what he was saying . evan murdered jordan . and he 's gon na pay for what he did . zoey : well , i have a pretty good win - loss record in there , so ... we 'll see . sonny : if you 'll excuse me . zoey : yeah , go ahead , i 'll see you in the courtroom . orpheus : hello , zoey . zoey : where 's christian ? orpheus : he just texted me , he 's on his way . but before your brother arrives , we need to talk strategy . zoey : that 's not necessary . i have christian 's defense well in hand . orpheus : so what 's your plan ? zoey : you 're not on his legal team , and i 'd rather not share it with you . orpheus : fine . then why do n't i share my ideas ? we know the prosecution 's gon na leap out of the gate with their flimsy case based on circumstantial evidence . so when christian takes the stand , i want you -- zoey : wait , wait , hold on . christian 's not taking the stand . eli : nothing 's wrong . i 'm just -- just frustrated that i have n't been able to find kristen . rafe : are n't we all ? eli : yeah . rafe : yeah . eli : i see you got the go - to suit on . what 's the occasion ? rafe : oh , man , yeah , testifying in court today . eli : oh , yeah , that 's right , the christian maddox trial . rafe : that 's right . trust me when i say i 'd much rather be here focusing on finding kristen . eli : hey , it 's all good , man . i 'm holding down the fort . rafe : okay , good , good . yeah , i know you and lani both are , so ... yeah . no new leads , though , huh ? eli : i questioned brady , but he insists that he did n't know anything about kristen 's whereabouts . rafe : do you believe him ? eli : he seemed pretty -- pretty surprised when i told him that kristen had taken off , but he 's also the person that told us that he stabbed victor , so who the hell knows . rafe : right . he 's also in love with that damn woman , so protecting her is his priority . eli : yeah . what we would n't do for the people we love , right ? rafe : yeah , that 's right . okay , so no new leads , no idea where kristen is or how she got away . kristen : okay , all right , maybe you 're right . and maybe rex did n't fly out there to meet with sarah . maybe he just ran into her and the baby in paris . lani : now that would be a coincidence . kristen : or tracked her down . either way ... either way , he figured out that sarah kidnapped rachel and that is why he 's calling me . lani : okay , i guess that 's possible . but how do we even know ? the call ended . kristen : yeah , it ended -- it ended very abruptly . lani : as if he got caught . kristen : yeah , what if sarah caught him ? lani : again , just a theory . kristen : mm - hmm . and if sarah knows that we are on to her , we 've got to get out there fast because she 's gon na disappear again . i mean , paris is such a huge place , how are we gon na find her ? sarah : i knew my baby was in trouble just from the way that the doctors took her away . but when xander brought her back to me and said that she was healthy , i just -- i ignored my instincts 'cause i wanted so badly for it to be true . rex : do you know the official cause of death ? sarah : we were in a car crash , rex . you and i have both treated enough victims to know the kind of trauma that an accident like that can cause , especially on a newborn . trauma caused by my mother 's recklessness . rex : i just do n't understand why maggie was drinking that night -- she worked so hard to stay sober . and especially with the baby coming , you would think she would be extra vigilant . what happened ? sarah : my sister summer happened . maggie : you ? you 're the one who switched the babies ? xander : i am . maggie : why ? what were you thinking ? xander : i wanted to spare sarah the pain . i knew she 'd be devastated if she lost a child . maggie : oh , so you were sparing her her grief . xander : i love her so much , maggie . she did n't deserve to suffer . so when i saw an opportunity , i took it . maggie : this is n't happening . this is -- xander : i know it was wrong , but it made sense at the time . she 'd been through so much with rex 's infidelities and everything that happened with nicole and eric . maggie : mm - hmm . so she knows what you did . xander : oh , she knows . maggie : so that 's why she called off the wedding . xander : yeah . she hates me for letting her fall in love with a baby that was never hers . maggie : how could you do this to her ? xander : it was all about protecting her . and we wanted to spare you the pain , too . maggie : we ? you did n't do this alone . xander : i -- wait -- wait a minute . [ scoffs ] victor was involved , was n't he ? i knew my daughter could be at risk of certain cancers orpheus : you 're not gon na let your brother tell his story on the stand ? if he does n't testify on his own behalf , he may look guilty . zoey : not after i destroy the prosecution 's case . like you just said , it 's flimsy at best now that the confession 's been thrown out . orpheus : but they still have christian 's dna on jordan 's body . zoey : oh , that can be explained away in a million different ways . orpheus : okay , then why do n't you let him take the stand and do just that ? let him look into the eyes of those sheep and tell them that he 's innocent . otherwise they might think he has something to hide . zoey : but he does have something to hide -- you know that better than anyone , do n't you ? orpheus : so what is that supposed to mean ? eli : kristen can be ... she can be very manipulative . rafe : yeah , do n't i know it . eli : she was desperate to get out of here and find her baby . rafe : she also stabbed victor in the chest . all right . better get down to the damn courthouse . hopefully at least put one killer behind bars today . eli : you worried about how the trial 's gon na go ? rafe : a little bit , yeah . despite not having a confession anymore , i am confident , though , that the dna we have will convict evan of jordan 's murder . eli : a conviction will definitely help you get custody of david . rafe : yes , it will definitely help , but now that evan 's sister zoey is also fighting for custody , it makes things a little trickier . eli : hey , that boy belongs with you , all right ? simple as that . rafe : yeah . yeah . all right , let me know if anything on kristen turns up . eli : i will . good luck with your testimony . rafe : thanks , man . kristen : sarah must have caught rex talking on the phone and realized he was tipping me off , which puts her in a fight or flight mode , and that means she 'll be packing up her stuff right now , and if she goes , our lead is flying right out into the wind . lani : kristen , hey , you are panicking , okay ? just calm down . look , if rex called you once , he 'll call you again . kristen : yeah , but i called him and he was n't picking up . and if he does n't pick up , then he ca n't help us . lani : there are other ways we can track him down . [ phone rings ] lani : hi , you 've reached detective lani price . please leave a message and i 'll get back to you as soon as i can . [ beep ] eli : hey , it 's me -- i need you to come down to the station as soon as you get this . it 's about the kristen dimera case . xander : why would you think victor was involved in switching the babies ? maggie : because you said kristen stabbed victor . so i repeat : was he involved ? xander : yes , he was . maggie : why ? why did he do it ? xander : for you , maggie . maggie : me ? xander : because of your daughter . we both wanted to prevent sarah from being hurt . maggie : so he risked prison to protect sarah ? xander : we both did . maggie : you know , i ca n't begin to fathom how the two of you would think that stealing another woman 's baby would be better for sarah than knowing the truth . xander : it 's complicated . maggie : no , it 's quite simple . what you did was wrong . horribly wrong . xander : we see that now . maggie : well , i 'm glad that sarah found out what you did before she married you . god ! when she found out her baby was dead , it was on her wedding day ? xander : yes . maggie : ha ha -- so that 's what everyone was trying to keep from me . xander : everyone ? maggie : julie was here . she almost told me . but will , he stopped her and made up some story . my poor sarah . i should be there supporting her . helping her get through what has to be the worst time of her life . sarah : i was in labor . my mom was gon na take me to the hospital . just as we were about to walk out the door , summer showed up . it was mother 's day . rex : and she came to visit maggie ? sarah : mm - hmm . not to bring her a card . not to bring her flowers , but to bring her the news that she 's dying of liver disease . rex : what ? sarah : well , summer 's an alcoholic . she blames my mom for it . she blames my mom for everything . even before i -- before i found out the truth about my mom running us off the road , i had so much sympathy for her . to be a mother and to have a child to say such ugly accusations . and then i found out the truth and ... all my sympathy was gone . rex : yeah , but you just said that you -- sarah : do not defend her ! she made a choice to drink . she made a choice to get in a car . my daughter would still be alive if it were not for those choices . seresto , seresto , seresto . maggie : i need to get out here for at least a few days . xander : how would that be possible ? maggie : i do n't know . but sarah needs me and so does victor , and i need to talk to justin to talk to the warden . xander : maggie , i -- maggie : do n't try to talk me out of this . xander : i 'm sorry , but even if you could get out of here , it would n't help . maggie : you do n't know that . and you of all people do n't get to tell me what my daughter needs . not after what you 've done ! xander : what i 'm saying is , even if you were granted leave from prison , you would n't be able to be with sarah . maggie : why ? xander : because she 's gone , maggie ! she took kristen 's baby and ran off . rex : sarah , with everything that 's happened , with you running away with this baby and victor being stabbed , do n't you think someone has told maggie by now ? sarah : [ sniffling ] you think she knows ? rex : and people would n't want her finding out the wrong way . i mean , think about it . finding out that you 're responsible for your granddaughter 's death , i mean , can you imagine what that 's got to be like for her ? sarah : no . rex : i know you 're in a lot of pain , sarah , but maggie is suffering , too . sarah : god , i 've just been so concerned with keeping mickey with me that i have n't even thought about how this must be impacting her . rex : she loves you , sarah . nobody knows it better than me , but news like this , it will break her . sarah : there is this part of me that wants her to suffer . but just -- rex : i know . but the bigger part of you loves her . and always will . sarah : god , if summer just had n't shown up that night with a bottle of booze , everything would be different . my daughter would still be alive . rex : i know , i know , but we ca n't turn back time . look , your mother is hurting , too . you do n't want to lose her as well . you can make this better . only you can make this better . do n't you think you owe that to her ? lani : i really hate lying to eli . kristen : well , he might have a lead on tracking me down . do you think he 's gon na show up here ? eli : no . we 've been really careful . i 'm sure it 's nothing . kristen : okay , do you want to call him back ? lani : no . i will deal with eli later . right now , we need to focus on tracking down rex and luckily , i have a tech genius in my family . actually , so do you . if anybody can help us track down rex , it 's my brother theo . zoey : we both know that christian did kill jordan . orpheus : are you sure that 's all you meant ? or do you think your brother might be hiding something else ? zoey : i do n't know what you mean , dad . i mean , what else would i be referring to ? orpheus : oh , commissioner hernandez . how 's my grandson ? rafe : david 's not your grandson . never will be . orpheus : really ? well , biology suggests otherwise . and soon he 'll be my family legally as well , once my darling daughter here wins custody . rafe : not gon na happen . zoey : you seem awfully confident for a man who just had a restraining order thrown out in court . rafe : i will win custody of david . especially once your brother is convicted of murder . zoey : i do n't see it , commish . because my brother did n't kill jordan . you did . it 's the 6 : 10 rafe : i killed jordan ? [ laughs ] you 're joking , right ? zoey : well , there 's nothing funny about it . you 're the true murderer and i 'm not gon na keep quiet about it . rafe : this is ridiculous . zoey : everybody knows how much you hated jordan . she poisoned you . she attacked your former stepdaughter , ciara brady . she tried to run away with little david . you were frantic . you were furious . so you hunted her down and you strangled her and then you used your position at the salem pd to frame ben weston for the crime . rafe : wow , what are you smoking ? zoey : but that did n't hold up , did it ? and now you 're trying to do the same thing to my brother . rafe : this is insane . orpheus : gee , i do n't know , rafe , makes perfect sense to me . lani : yeah , it 's -- it 's really sad , theo . tragic , actually . and kristen , she just wants to find her little girl and bring her home . but look , theo , here 's the good news . i have a lead on a phone that could help us track down sarah and the baby , so if i give you the number , do you think that you could use your magic and trace its location ? sarah : why do you care so much about my mother ? she did n't even like you . rex : she did n't like me because she 's fiercely protective of you , and i respect that about her . sarah : she did n't protect anyone , because drinking and driving is unforgivable in my book ! is it not in yours ? rex : oh , god , of course in mine ! sarah : then stop defending her ! rex : i 'm not defending her ! she made a terrible mistake . drinking and driving , getting behind the wheel while she was drunk ! but you know what , sarah , she has a disease . she 's an alcoholic . that does not make her a bad person ! and she 's not only dealing with the fact that she killed a friend , she killed her granddaughter ! which is why right now it is so important that you and mckenzie get back to salem and be there for her . maggie : how did she get out of town ? xander : she took mackenzie and fled on the titan jet that was supposed to take us on our honeymoon . maggie : well , do you know where she went ? xander : all we know is that she landed in london . i -- i got her on the phone . i tried to persuade her to let me help her , but she refused . maggie : why would she want your help after what you did ? xander : i get why you blame me but i -- i really thought i was doing the right thing for her . maggie : ha . i 'm not sure i understand that . there is so much i do n't understand . xander : what else ? maggie : i 'm trying to process how sarah 's baby died . xander : how ? maggie : well , she was in the hospital and everything was fine , right ? so what caused her death ? if new financial obstacles stand between you rafe : nobody is gon na buy your preposterous story . zoey : the jury might . rafe : no . no , you 're as bad as your father and your brother . zoey : i 'm just doing my job , and if i can create reasonable doubt , christian walks free . rafe : christian deserves to be in jail -- he 's a liar and a murderer and you know it . zoey : well , you 're entitled to your opinion , not that it matters . rafe : we 'll see . orpheus : that was impressive . zoey : stroke of genius , actually . which is why it 's not necessary for christian to take the stand . orpheus : what are you so afraid of ? zoey : i do n't trust him up there -- he gets jittery when he 's confronted , which will open the door for the prosecution to come at him with guns blazing , and i do n't know what else the d.a . might throw at him . orpheus : there you go again , talking as though you know more than you 're saying . are you referring to something specific ? lani : thank you so much , theo . i knew i could count on you . i love you too . kristen : he 's in ? lani : he 's in . he will call you if he is able to get a hit on rex 's phone . kristen : okay , thank you , thank you . lani : of course . kristen : hmm . wait . are you going somewhere ? lani : i really should get back to eli before he sends a search party out for me . kristen : okay . i want you to know how much i appreciate all your help . lani : we have n't found rachel yet , but hopefully now with theo , we will . kristen : yeah , well , i 'm not just talking about you reaching out to theo . you put yourself on the line for me when you smuggled me out of that police station . lani : oh , kristen , do n't worry about that , okay ? i need you to just focus on getting your little girl back . sarah : i ca n't go back to salem . kristen will take my daughter away from me . rex : you ca n't run forever , sarah , we talked about this . sarah : i 'm not ready , rex . i 'm not ready . rex : i know . but you 've got to think about your mom . look what happened ... when summer confronted her . she got behind the wheel of a car drunk . you need to be there for her . she finds out that she 's responsible for her granddaughter 's death , she 'll punish herself for the rest of her life or ... she 'll die of a broken heart . do you want to see that happen ? xander : i do n't know all the details , but i guess there were complications with the baby . maggie : so something must 've happened to her in the hospital after you brought her in . xander : i do n't know . maggie : yeah , but you delivered her yourself on the side of the road . she was fine when you got her to the e.r . , right ? so you rushed her to the hospital , and -- and if she was in some kind of distress -- xander : maggie , please , just let it go . maggie : the baby was fine when she was born as far as you knew ? but i had -- i had just run adrienne and sarah off the road . oh , god ! xander : there 's no need -- maggie : oh , god , oh , god , oh , god ! the accident . it was a terrible crash . but i not only killed adrienne , i killed my own granddaughter . oh , god . [ sobbing ] oh ... god ! you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know orpheus : did your brother say something to you ? zoey : say something to me about what ? [ beep beep ] trial is starting soon . so i 'm sure christian 's probably inside by now . we better get in there . lani : hey , you . i brought you your favorite coffee cake muffin . eli : did you get my message ? lani : i was in line at the coffee shop when you called . any leads on kristen ? eli : lani , i saw what you did . i know that you helped kristen escape . [ phone rings ] kristen : theo , thank god . please , please tell me you found the location for that phone . rex : i 'm a father . i know what it 's like to love a child . sarah : i 've loved her since the day she was born . rex : and i know that you ca n't just stop feeling like she 's yours . i get that . but you ca n't keep running . they will find you and this is gon na end so much worse , not just for you , but for this little girl . sarah : god , not fair . rex : i know , i know . but sarah , you are the strongest woman that i 've ever met . you can handle this . sarah , go home . be with your mom , she needs you . and you know what ? you need her , too . sarah : i know what you 're trying to do . you 're trying to make me feel -- feel guilty for my mom . but i ca n't lose mickey , rex , i can't . rex : what ? no ! sarah , sarah -- sarah : no , i 've heard everything you have to say and i just -- i hear ca n't anymore . i feel for my mom . but there is no way that i am giving up my little girl . so mickey and i will be gone before anyone figures out that we were even here . maggie : i killed my own granddaughter . dear god ! no , no ! no ! | orpheus told zoey that he wanted evan to testify in court . she did n't want him to . she said he of all people should n't want evan to testify . eli and rafe talked about kristen stabbing victor . they also talked about rafe 's case with zoey . kristen told lani that rex probably tipped sarah off that they were looking for her . kristen was afraid that sarah would leave and they would n't find rachel . lani said they would find rex . eli called lani , but she did n't answer the phone . maggie asked xander if victor was involved in the accident . xander said it was because of her . she did n't understand why they thought stealing another woman 's baby would help sarah . maggie said she was glad that sarah did n't marry him . xander said sarah found out on her wedding day that the babies were switched . sarah told rex what happened the night she went in labor . she told him that summer came to town to tell maggie that she was dying of liver disease . sarah said summer was an alcoholic and blamed her mother for everything . sarah said she felt sorry for maggie because of the terrible things summer said to her . sarah said she changed her mind because her daughter would be alive if maggie did n't drink . |

[ radio chatter ] [ suspenseful music ] john : hey , not so fast . [ lounge music playing ] kate : well , at this hour you 're usually in your study with a scotch , reading the financial papers . what , did maggie lock you out of the liquor cabinet to get you back for hiring me ? victor : i 'm still in the doghouse about that . no , i come to a noisy , crowded bar for the peace and quiet . kate : [ chuckles ] victor : now that nicole is back from the dead ... a complete waste of a miracle , if you ask me . i 've got rex and sarah living there . kate : you are so sensitive . you live in a mansion . you have 11 wings . really ? and rex is almost always at the hospital . victor : oh , rex is all right . it 's sarah that has me ordering doubles . rex : it 's good . it 's great . i mean , each one of us is with the person that we 're supposed to be with : you with me and eric with nicole . i 'm telling you , once holly 's found , those two are going to be walking right down the aisle . sarah : they wo n't be the only ones . i know that we set a date , but maybe we can make it sooner . rex : really ? sarah : as soon as holly comes back home , let 's do it . let 's get married right away . what do you say ? rex : i -- i say yes .

[ enticing music ] [ ominous music ] hope : rafe said the car stopped at the edge of a ravine . he tried climbing down , but he was n't able to because of his arm . so he really could n't say whether or not ... nicole : whether or not what ? hope : anyone survived . nicole : oh . hope : rescue teams are on their way right now . nicole : okay , we have to go to her . hope : it 's an active rescue situation . nicole : well , i just ca n't stand here and do nothing . hope : i understand . come on , let 's go . xander : not here , leave a message . ted : damn it , cook , do n't you send me to your voicemail after everything i 've done for you . well , if you 're interested , everything went according to plan . rafe took the bait and chased the car like an idiot . now , listen to me , i never wanted to get mixed up with a kidnapping , but now that i am , i do n't want a dead kid in my hands . now , where the hell are you ? [ tense music ] i 'm just a normal person who got an awful skin condition . [ sweeping orchestral music ] marlena : oh , my . this is very romantic . john : yeah , well , you know , it 's , um , yeah , that was kind of the idea . mm - hmm . marlena : it 's , uh ... it 's not my birthday . it is n't our anniversary . well , i do n't think it 's any of our anniversaries . john : you sure about that ? marlena : well , no , maybe i could 've forgotten one . did i forget one ? john : you know , yeah , it is an anniversary of our most current marriage . marlena : honey , that was november . john : that 's a fact . december , january , february , march , april , may . we made six months , baby . and given everything we 've been through , i say celebrate anything and everything . before you start feeling guilty about this , just know that will is totally on board with it . marlena : oh , well , if will is on board , i 'm on board . john : good . i 'm serious , sweetheart , with everything going on right now , i think it 's really important just to be grateful and count our blessings , starting with you being my wife . marlena : and you my husband . john : happy six - month anniversary . sarah : you are so off base , mom . i 'm the one that was talking about marriage . i said that i wanted us to get married as soon as we know that holly is safe . rex : and now that we have a lead , we ca n't help but feel a little optimistic , that 's all . sarah : i was just going to tell rex that i want holly to be our flower girl , but i did n't get a chance because you came in , guns blazing . maggie : well , uh , sorry . i ... i mean to say that your optimistic notwithstanding , i just do n't understand , you 're making wedding plans when we do n't know where holly is or who has her . sarah : okay , i get it . maggie : and i 'm not the only one on edge here . henderson said that victor went storming out of here after talking to you . sarah : okay , yeah , i mean , i admit , i went off on him , but he ... he was saying that it was nicole 's fault that she was presumed dead and that holly was kidnapped . as if she has n't been through enough already . maggie : yes , on the subject of nicole , victor verges on the insufferable . sarah : it 's more than `` verges . `` but i know that i am a guest here . i wo n't be surprised if he kicks me out of his house . maggie : this is our home . and he better damn well remember that . kate : so , the meek and mild sarah told you off ? victor : that woman is neither meek nor mild . if i were you , i 'd warn rex he 's engaged to a real harpy . kate : oh . [ laughs ] so is any woman that has the temerity to talk back to you . victor : she had the nerve to take up for nicole . kate : i 'm sure she does n't know nicole 's history with you . i 'm sure nicole did n't tell sarah that she tried to kill you . victor : so did you . twice . kate : that was different . nicole hated you , you know ? she wanted your money . i was a woman scorned . victor : so yours was a crime of passion , is that it ? kate : yes , it was . i 'm sure you recall that passion was an integral part of our relationship . [ mischievous music ] [ suspenseful music ] nicole : oh , my god . oh , my god , is holly in that van ? it 's going to fall . she could die . rafe : how long before fire and rescue gets here , hope ? hope : a few minutes away . nicole : she could be dead by then . eric : i 'm going to go down . rafe : hold on , hold on . hope : no . eric : [ grunting ] ted : what happened ? rafe : i lost the van on the turn , i saw this broken guard rail . it 's down there . eric 's on his way down . [ sirens blaring ] ted : i 'll go help him . rafe : what ? ted . ted . ted : [ grunts ] [ suspenseful music ] nicole : oh , holly . victor : you know , hiring a hit man seems fairly premeditated for a crime of passion . as i recall , you were n't particularly disinterested in my money . and you 're more like ma barker than medea . kate : [ scoffs ] no wonder women keep trying to kill you . why are you getting in my face ? sarah is the one who told you off . victor : the nerve of that woman . i ca n't believe that pit bull is in any way related to maggie . kate : oh , victor , i really think you 're being delusional . i mean , she seems lovely to me . uh , she certainly was forgiving of everything that rex put her through . victor : reason she can forgive him his sins is because she knows exactly what those sins are . kate : ah . okay , is this your not - so - subtle way of trying to tell me something ? because you do know that i do not involve myself in my children 's personal lives . victor : [ laughs ] kate : [ chuckles ] victor : you 're just like me , hands off . kate : you are trying to tell me something , are n't you ? victor : [ sighs ] rex is not the only one with a wandering eye . kate : [ sighs ] you 're going to have to be more specific than that . victor : specifically , sarah horton cheated on him . kate : [ exhales deeply ] specifically , with who ? oh , god , it 's bad , is n't it ? victor : i 'm afraid sarah has totally debased herself . she did it in the bedroom with the gardener . kate : ugh . victor : that 's right , my nephew xander . seems little sarah likes it rough . kate : that little slut . i knew that rex was too good for her all along . sarah : rex , are you hungry ? why -- why do n't you go make a sandwich in the kitchen ? rex : you know what ? i 'm feeling a little hungry . i 'm going to go make a sandwich in the kitchen . sarah : that 's a great idea . mom . i do n't mean to pry , but i heard you and victor arguing the other day , and i ... is everything okay ? maggie : no . he hired kate to come back to titan , and i just -- i ca n't let it go . sarah : he hired kate ? what do you ... ? why would he do that ? maggie : he said he wanted to patch things up with philip . sarah : that 's a terrible reason . maggie : yeah , i agree . huh . sarah : does n't victor realize that the only person that can patch things up between he and his son is him ? you know , by maybe apologizing for all of his horrible past behavior . what happened between victor and philip anyway ? maggie : oh , the same thing that goes wrong with victor and everyone . sarah : oh , he treated him dismissively and then made him feel unloved , shunned and disrespected ? maggie : yeah , that kind of sums it up , i 'm afraid . sarah : huh . mom . [ solemn music ] i -- i just -- i do n't get it . you are ... you are such a kind and moral person , not to mention beautiful and smart as hell and strong . maggie : [ sighs gleefully ] so why do i put up with victor ? is that what you 're getting at ? sarah : yeah , actually . maggie : it 's a simple answer . i love him . and more often than not , i used to believe that he loved me . sarah : you do n't believe that anymore ? maggie : no , i don't . i mean , now that he hired kate ... oh , sarah , i asked him point blank not to hire that woman . and he turned right around and he did it . and now that holly is missing , he 's not here . why ? why does n't he know that i -- that i need him ? i mean , why does n't he care ? [ crying ] john : so will seemed okay after the treatment ? marlena : uh , yes . he 's tired , but that 's to be expected . john : so everything went okay , then ? marlena : radiation really is the most effective thing we have for reducing his kind of tumor , so i am cautiously optimistic . john : he and sonny are far too young to be having to go through something like this . marlena : thank you . john : for what ? marlena : for not pretending this is n't going on . i know you wanted this to be very special tonight . john : hey , come on , it 's still special . we 're together . and you would n't be you if you did n't love and worry about your family . and i love you just the way you are . marlena : mm , back at you . john : hey . so what do you say ? ready for a little dessert here ? i made something kind of special for you . [ laughs ] marlena : oh . wow , what could that be ? john : ah , come on , do n't roll your eyes 'cause you know it 's strawberries and whipped cream , because it 's not . marlena : it 's not ? john : no , you see , they kind of lost their romantic appeal once hattie tried to poison you with them . and then when those cookies were poisoned , i figured we had to go a whole nother route here , so i slaved away back there in the kitchen and i produced something magnificent . [ laughs ] marlena : wow . wo ... wow . looks like somebody took a bite out of it . john : well , somebody had to taste test it for you . and it 's killer . no i -- it 's delicious , not lethal . marlena : great . well , then let 's share it . john : ' ey . [ sweeping orchestral music ] what 's wrong ? you do n't like it ? marlena : oh . [ clears throat ] no , no , honey , it 's delicious . i just ... i was just hoping we 'd have some word about holly by now . [ suspenseful music ] nicole : [ whimpers ] [ sirens blaring ] hope : what happened ? rafe , what 're you doing here ? ted was supposed to meet -- rafe : i followed him , okay ? i followed him . hope : you do n't -- rafe : you do n't think it 's weird that hector denied having anything to do with kidnapping holly until he talked to ted ? nicole : oh , my god . do you smell that ? rafe : it 's gas . hey , get out of there ! all : [ scream ] the mousse . i got a feeling tonight was n't the right night for a celebration . marlena : i 'm so sorry . john : nah , nothing to be sorry about . like i said , we 're here together , we get to talk . god knows there 's plenty to talk about . nicole coming back from the dead and little holly being kidnapped . marlena : and eric , i 'm so concerned about him with all this going on . john : yeah , why is that ? [ exhales sharply ] come on , doc , it 's me . i 'm not going to talk to anybody about anything that you tell me . besides , shrinks have to talk to somebody , right ? [ chuckles ] marlena : yeah . eric told me weeks ago that he was in love with sarah . but because of what happened with brady , he did n't want to have the same thing happen with rex . john : ah . there 's more going on here , is n't there ? marlena : yeah . sarah is , um , in love with eric . when i was in the hospital , eric made a promise to god that if he would let me live , he would , uh -- he would push sarah away . john : i see . right towards rex . mm - hmm . i see , so that 's why they got engaged together , right ? marlena : right , yeah . and then i inadvertently told sarah about ... [ rousing music ] ... what eric had done . so she went right to eric and told him she knew that he had feelings for her and that she had the same feelings for him , so together they went to rex to tell him , but when they got there , nicole was there . john : oh , wow . marlena : yeah . nicole 's always been the love of eric 's life . i just feel so sorry for sarah . john : yeah . yeah , now she loses eric and also has to break off her engagement to rex . marlena : no . she 's decided to go ahead and marry rex , even though she does n't love him the way ... john : she loves eric . marlena : we both know how that turns out . victor : you know , i can almost see the little wheels turning in that devious , little mind of yours . sarah slept with xander . how can i take this little piece of information and get the maximum amount of damage out of it ? kate : ah . i am worried about my son 's happiness . there is nothing devious about that . kate : so did this happen while rex and sarah were separated ? victor : what do you care ? kate : because i want to know . i want to know if this was before or after she made my son grovel to get her back . victor : well , i 'm sure she enjoyed the groveling as much as she did the passionate sex with xander . kate : ugh , god . well , i 'm going to have to be very , very careful about this . i mean , i do want to get her back , but i do n't want to alienate rex . you men can be so touchy about these kinds of things . john : yes , well , he already knows about it and has apparently completely forgiven her . kate : really ? well , maybe i can get him to un - forgive her . john : if anyone can ... [ menacing music ] you know , on second thought , you do n't have to do a damn thing . i think sarah and rex will implode without your help . maggie : let 's just talk about you and rex . sarah : [ laughs ] maggie : i -- i do n't understand why you were pushing to get married as soon as possible , unless it 's a reaction to nicole coming back . sarah : it 's not . it 's not a reaction to nicole . maggie : no ? so this has nothing to do with the fact that now you have no chance of ever getting eric back ? [ dramatic music ] sarah : i was lying when i said that i was okay with us being just friends . i 'm not okay with it . it 's killing me . and i pushed you away because i had no hope for us , and if i 'm being honest , i said yes to rex because i thought that i could never have you and that you would never , ever be over nicole . do n't you see ? this changes everything . eric : i made a vow to rex that i would never come between you . sarah : and you didn't . you kept that promise . you never told me how you felt about me . you just kept saying that we were friends and we were talking about you taking pictures at the wedding , and ever since you found out that your mother was going to live , you honored that vow . you never came between rex and me . you were honorable and decent and kind . but now it 's time for you to be honest ... with me and with yourself . [ rousing music ] eric : you 're right . i do have feelings for you . sarah : let 's just stop , please . i don't ... i do n't want to talk about eric . [ sniffles ] i have forgiven rex , and we are fine now . maggie : okay , so just like i have forgiven victor for all the transgressions over the years ... sarah : [ sighs ] okay , i get it , i just -- i wo n't talk to you about you and victor . maggie : thank you . sarah : just , please , under one condition . you have to stop reminding me of all of rex 's shortcomings . maggie : fine . i -- i can do that . but i 'm allowed to ask a question ? sarah : depends . maggie : well , you do n't have to answer . but sarah , i 'm wondering , does rex know how you felt about eric ? i mean , does he know that you probably will never love him the way that you loved his brother ? sarah : don't . maggie : does n't he deserve to know before he marries you ? sarah : stop , just stop . please , okay ? i want to marry rex . i want to marry him and i am going to be his wife . it 's the end of story . maggie : oh , i 'm not so sure about that . [ suspenseful music ] nicole : holly ! rafe : nicole . nicole : oh , let me go . let me go . holly ! [ crying ] eric : [ coughing ] rafe : eric ! eric : rafe ! rafe : hey . come on . eric : [ grunts ] rafe : i got you . you okay ? eric : yeah , i 'm fine . nicole : where 's ted ? eric : ted , he was right behind me . ted , come here . come on , reach . [ grunting ] come on . ted : we smelled gas . we had to back away before it blew up . nicole : oh ! no ! holly ! eric : nicole . nicole : [ crying ] holly . marlena : i remember when roman came back to me , and i thought we could just pick up where we left off . i thought i could forget about how i felt about you . i was so wrong and i -- i hurt so many people . john : so you do n't think that sarah is going to be able to forget about eric , huh ? marlena : well , not if she feels the same way about him that i feel about you . [ sweeping orchestral music ] john : you know , after all these years , i still like hearing you say that . marlena : and after all these years , i 'm still glad it 's just the same . nicole : [ crying ] eric : nicole , i want you to listen to me . just listen to me , okay ? we were next to the van right where it blew . it was dark . i could n't see inside . i think they got themselves out . nicole : then where are they ? i ca n't see them . where are they , then ? holly ! hope : we 'll find her , nicole . no one 's giving up until we find her . [ somber music ] ted , your hand , you 're bleeding . ted : uh , it 's fine . it 's fine . hope : you need to have someone look at that . nicole : when we were in the warehouse , you saved holly . god would n't be so cruel after everything we 've been through to take her away from me now . no , she ca n't be gone . eric : oh , no , no , no , no . nicole : she ca n't be gone . eric : no , okay ? all right . look , look at this . you see this ? you see ? remember ? it brought you back . it worked . you got to believe . you got to have faith . it 'll work . just keep your faith . nicole : [ crying ] i wanted more from [ romantic music ] marlena : look , i -- i know i should n't be thinking like this . john : like what ? marlena : well , it occurred to me that -- that nicole , you know , was alive and xander is alive and -- and jack is alive . so what about kristen ? [ ominous music ] you know , she 's like her father . he -- he was always returning from the dead , you know ? john : sweetheart , i think if kristen were alive , we would know about it . marlena : that 's kind of what i 'm afraid of . [ lounge music ] victor : i wonder if philip is seeing anyone . kate : not that i know of . victor : well , if he was , he 'd be wise not to tell you . you may be the reason he left town . kate : he left town because you drove him away . again . victor : so sensitive . kate : and you 're an emotional bulldozer . victor : hey , do n't forget , i 'm your boss now . i 'm the one that writes your evaluations . and acts on them . kate : oh , i 'm so glad to see you have n't lost your light managerial touch . victor : i wonder if philip knows that you 're back in the family fold with titan . kate : really ? is that why you hired me back , to make nice with philip ? because it 's going to take a hell of a lot more than that to make him trust you again . victor : oh , i know i 've made a mess of it with philip , and he may have had something to do with my hiring you . the company was never more successful than it was when you were helping me launch the publishing division . kate : i was magnificent , was n't i ? victor : i want to get the company back to those roots . and destroy dimera enterprises . kate : those are lofty goals . i am all in . victor : keep brady in tow too . kate : hmm . and you too , vic . you too . [ ominous music ] maggie : hate to keep harping on this , but i do n't understand why you 're in such a rush . sarah : well , i wish you would n't characterize it as that . i am eager to get married . i am excited , so i 'm impatient . i do n't want to wait , and why should i ? maggie : so you have given it some more thought . sarah : you know what ? to insinuate that i 'm going to change my mind , and not just insinuate , but hope . maggie : because ... oh , dear sarah , you know why i have reservations . it 's for a very good reason . he 's a cheater and he 's cheated on more than one person . sarah : stop it , just stop . i do n't want to -- i do n't want to hear about it anymore , okay ? it is negative and it 's depressing . we have been over it a zillion times and it 's in the past and i am past it . maggie : why ? why is it in the past ? because he swore to you that he 'd never do it again ? like men never swear to anything and then turn right around and do the opposite . like a womanizing philanderer does n't just change his ways because you insist upon it . mm . rex : uh , so sorry to interrupt . i -- i was just wondering , is there any news yet ? maggie : no . no , not at this point . and i 'm afraid , um , that no news no longer is seen as good news .

[ uneasy music ] [ dramatic music ] gabi : hang on . you can not leave me , stefan , okay , not again . jake : lady , i do n't want you to upset you , but i 'm not stefan . name 's jake . gabi : that -- that ca n't be . jake : ha ha , oh , you . you must be gabi . gabi : okay , fine , you say you 're not stefan dimera . then how the hell do you know who i am ? 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 : mm . 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 , hmm ? you son of a bitch . i do n't believe him . if you can come back as steve , then why ca n't stefan come back as jake ? 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 : i even practically begged on my knees to rolf so that he could bring you back . jake : rolf ? who is that , a muppet ? gabi : will you please stop acting like you do n't know what i 'm talking about ? jake : 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 ? 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 . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] gabi : i do n't know how you did it , old man ... what you and that nutcase rolf did . your son is still alive , is n't he ? chad : i am alive . so is my wife , no thanks to you . gabi : chad , what are you doing here ? chad : i came to check on my children while abby 's at the hospital resting . gabi : mm , good for you . how is she doing ? chad : you know , i talked to rafe and he said that the drug that was found in her system was an experimental compound that was created by dimera , which means you would have access to it . gabi : so did you . chad : that 's exactly what rafe said . must be nice to have a police commissioner as a brother always covering your ass . gabi : for your information , lani was here last night grilling me about this . she showed me abigail 's toxicology report . and i will tell you what i told lani . dimera is employed by hundreds of people . anybody could have drugged her . including you . chad : except i 'm gon na prove that you did it . gabi : well , good luck with that , sherlock , because i 'm innocent . chad : what you are is a vindictive , pathetic liar . gabi : i do n't have time for this ! chad : you do n't have time ? you 're unemployed . all you have is time . that 's why you 're talking to a portrait of my dead father . gabi : you know , it -- it 's one of my favorite pastimes , actually , much more interesting than speaking with you . and by the way , the son i was referring to ... it 's not you . chad : oh , it 's your dead husband ? gabi : stefan is alive ... [ chad laughs ] and i 'm gon na prove it . marlena : steve went home with hope ? kayla : well , he did n't have any place else to go . marlena : yeah , i see . uh , does n't that upset you ? kayla : no . why would it ? i mean , okay , i -- i admit i was a little surprised , but listen , hope has known steve even longer than me , and i think that , well , you know , he 's still family to her and she was being generous . marlena : i think there 's a lot more to it than that , do n't you ? hope : hey , steve . you 're up . how are you feeling ? hmm ? steve : what the hell is that ? hope : it 's a portrait of you . i mean , you as -- as stefano . i painted it myself . i suppose i should have said her royal highness painted it . princess gina ... von amberg . if new financial obstacles stand between you ciara : oh , my god . justin , where 's grandpa ? kayla : what do you mean , there 's something more going on ? hope and steve are good friends . marlena : yeah , stefano had a microchip implanted in both of their brains so he could affect their actions , their thoughts . kayla : so what are you saying -- you think they have some kind of bizarre partner in crime hold on each other or something ? marlena : well , i think because of all that , they -- they share a very mutual experience . they both feel guilty about it , especially the way they 've hurt everybody around them , especially people that love them . so they lean on each other , and that 's a very easy thing to do in this current living arrangement . kayla : well , i guess that makes sense . marlena : but ? kayla : but the whole thing just ... pisses me off . steve : hope ... or are you what 's - her - name , princess -- hope : princess gina ? no , no . no , i 'm me . steve : okay . hope : i wish to god i did n't have to see this stuff ever again . gina 's cigarettes . the lipstick . wow . that 's awfully bright . stefano 's disgusting cigars . steve : where did all that come from ? hope : the police were here while you were sleeping . steve : what did they want ? hope : well , now that stefano really and truly is dead , they closed the case against him . they dropped off all the evidence they had collected . steve : really ? well , you do n't want any of that junk , do you ? hope : what do you think ? i ca n't believe that i painted that . you know i ca n't draw . steve : you remember more than i do when we were under the influence . is this really what i looked like ? hope : well , you sure -- stefano ... stefano sure thought so when gina showed him the painting for the first time . hope as gina : the likeness is uncanny , if i do say so myself . steve : was stefano happy about this ? hope : no . actually , he , uh ... he was disappointed . steve , these are stefano 's words , not mine . but he felt that -- he said that you were n't man enough to fill his shoes . steve : oh , wow . dude really was an arrogant son of a bitch , was n't he ? i ca n't look at this thing anymore . hope : i can just shove it -- steve : no , no , no . i have an idea . gabi : yeah , yeah , so he 's working in a garage across town pretending to be some mechanic named jake and i do n't know why . chad : you taking drugs ? gabi : i 'm not the only one that 's seen him -- ask ben . chad : okay , so there 's somebody who looks exactly like stefan , then . it 'd be impossible for it to be him , though . gabi : not in salem . i mean , come on , how many -- how many people have -- has rolf brought back from the dead ? chad : none that are missing a -- a heart , which you gave away ! gabi : yeah , well , that was not my choice , okay ? the last thing i wanted to do was give julie my husband 's heart . but everybody in this town harassed me . chad : you are -- you are so pathetic . you know , everybody thought that you were a hero for a second . then you had to go and blow the whole thing up . and then use a child 's life as a get out of jail free card . so maybe you feel guilty about that or it 's the humiliation of getting let go from dimera , but you 're trying to make abigail look delusional , when really you are the one that is absolutely insane . gabi : oh , really ? i 'm the one ? now listen , i 'm the one that 's gon na prove everybody wrong and i 'm the one that 's gon na have the last laugh . so why do n't you deal with your wife and i will deal with my husband . ben : hey , jake . jake : hey . ben : what 's going on ? jake : i 'm just reading a fascinating article . ben : yeah , about what ? jake : my wife . marlena : kayla , talk to me . you said you were angry . are you angry at hope ? kayla : well , i should n't be . i think she was just being generous , trying to help out somebody she cares about . i just -- i just did n't think -- marlena : that steve would take her up on her offer . kayla : right . right , i did n't think that . and i have to tell you , i find the whole thing kind of infuriating . marlena : well , as you said , he did n't really have any place to go . i do n't know what his alternatives might have been . kayla : oh , i can come up with one for sure . marlena : staying with you ? kayla : no , no . he could go back where he came from . leave salem . marlena : okay . out of sight , out of mind . kayla : right . that is exactly right . it is painful enough without him in my face all the time . you know what 's ironic , really , is while we were married , there were many times that he was nowhere around . marlena : there were reasons for that , though . kayla : look , i am -- i am not saying that his work was n't important . i 'm just saying that when the person who loves you repeatedly begs you to come home and you choose not to ... i 'm sorry , but steve has hurt me over and over again . justin hasn't . in fact , he is always there for me and he puts me first . and i have to say , that is part of the reason i love him so much . marlena : hmm . what about your feelings for steve ? hope : you really think this is gon na help ? i mean , trashing this stuff wo n't erase all the pain we 've caused . steve : well , maybe not . but ... hope : oh ! steve : yeah . ha ha . hope : wow ! steve : yeah . justin : no , ciara , no , he 's fine . your grandfather is -- is okay . they just took him down to radiology for some testing . ciara : oh , thank god . you know , i knew that he would fight to come back to us . justin : yeah . ciara : yeah . justin : i knew that , too . and i 'm really glad that he was able to tell the police what really happened , that kristen was the one who stabbed him , not brady . ciara : right , so now that the police know the truth , why have n't they let brady out of jail ? you know what , never -- never mind . i , of all people , should know that these things take a lot of time . justin : they do . ciara : mm - hmm . justin : and it would also be helpful if the police could find kristen so they could lock her up and then release brady . ciara : wow ... how did our family become such a mess ? i mean , everyone 's either in jail or in the hospital or mad at someone for something . i -- justin : sonny told me that you moved out of the mansion . ciara : yeah , i 've been staying with ben at the salem inn . it 's not exactly a hardship . [ both chuckle ] justin : how 's he doing ? ciara : he 's good , he 's good . but as much as we enjoy the room service and we love sleeping in the most comfortable king - sized bed ever , we ca n't really afford it . so we 've been job hunting and he actually did -- he just got hired as a mechanic at this auto shop , but , um ... yeah , he -- he 's really excited about it . justin : uh - huh . i 'm , uh , sensing a `` but `` ... ciara : it 's great . it 's -- okay . so here 's the really weird thing . ben 's new boss looks exactly like his old boss , stefan . like , exactly . ben : your wife ? jake : yeah . ben : i remember you mentioning something about a serious ex but i did n't think you were married . jake : no , i 'm not . i 'm talking about my wife , my `` wife , `` gabi dimera . ben : oh . jake : yeah . ran into her last night . ben : you ran into her ? what the hell happened ? jake : well , she was all over me , insisting that i was her dead husband , and i told her she was wrong and that i was very sorry for her loss , and she slapped me . ben : yeah , that sounds about right . jake : yeah . anyway , i thought i 'd do a little bit of research , find out more about the dead dude , and , uh , guess you were n't kidding . pretty strong resemblance , but i do maintain i 'm a lot better looking . huh ? ben : ah ... ha ha . jake : quite frankly , i 'm glad i 'm not the guy because a , he seems like bad news and b , his old lady is clearly a giant pain in the ass . oh , speak of the devil . you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know ciara : i saw this jake guy at the garage and i 'm telling you , he -- the resemblance that he has to stefan is just -- it 's spooky . justin : well , now that we 've finally gotten rid of all that is stefano dimera , the last thing we need is another dimera coming back from the dead . how 's your mom doing , by the way ? ciara : she 's , uh , she 's having a tough time coming to terms with what she did as princess gina . well , at least my uncle steve can relate , and maybe now he can help her , you know , now that they 're living together . justin : they 're what ? steve : ha ha , yeah . breaking this face sure felt good . want to give it a try ? come on , go for it ! smash something ! come on ! ooh , getting serious . oh , yeah , yeah , baby . hope : uhh ! steve : ah ! how was that ? huh ? hope : yeah . yeah , that felt good , even though i just destroyed something very expensive . [ laughs ] steve : hey , let 's finish 'em off . hope : let 's do it . oh , just -- easy does it , you 're still recovering from your surgery , right ? steve : then you 're gon na have to help me . oh , look at that ! hope : kick it ! good - bye , stefano ! good - bye , gina ! put it down , put it down , put it down . steve : haaah ! [ both laughing ] kind of crazy . kayla : you know , my feelings for steve are very complicated right now . there is frustration and there 's anger , and of course , there 's ... i just ca n't turn off feelings of 30 years . marlena : nor should you . kayla : what does that mean ? marlena : i do n't think that you need to suppress all the feelings you 've had for all these years . i think you need to be honest about them . that 's the only way to -- to help you , to help justin , to have everybody get through this . chad : sorry to interrupt . i was hoping to get an update on abigail . kayla : um , she is still under sedation . she 's resting comfortably . chad : i know that . but what 's her prognosis ? kayla : listen , i -- i 'm late for rounds , and marlena 's the one that 's been researching the drug that abigail ingested . so i 'm gon na defer all your questions to her . if you 'll excuse me . chad : what can you tell me ? marlena : well , unfortunately , we do n't have a lot of information about this new drug . chad : right , well , it 's in the testing phase . i 've -- i 've spoken with a chemist and the r & d guy at dimera and they have n't been able to tell me anything . marlena : well , it 's still in the developmental process , so we do n't really have a lot of information on the effects . chad : it 's terrifying to see abigail going through this . last night , she -- she thought i was stefan . she was punching me , screaming at me . marlena : chad , i 'm so sorry . chad : you know , it 's weird , is that gabi had said that she -- she 'd seen stefan , or somebody who looked exactly like him walk down the street . which makes me think -- marlena : which makes you think that , what , he 's come back from the grave ? chad : no , that would be impossible . but just everything that rolf 's pulled lately has got my head in a strange place . marlena : mm - hmm . tell me , was it just you and abigail in the room when all this happened ? chad : yeah , it was just the two of us . stefan was definitely a figment of her imagination , as it was with gabi saying she saw him . jake : how the hell did you find me ? gabi : well , you said you worked in a garage . it was n't that hard to find . jake : well , unless you have a car or a bike that needs to be repaired , i ca n't really stand around and chitchat with you . i 'm not gon na lose my new job because some crazy lady 's stalking me . gabi : i am not crazy . right , ben ? ben , you 're gon na stand here and tell me this -- this is n't stefan ? ben : well , there 's a resemblance . gabi : resemblance ? are you kidding me ? he looks exactly like him . ben : okay , he does look exactly like him . jake is nothing like stefan . he does n't act like him . he does n't talk like him . gabi : he 's faking it . ben : why would he be faking it ? gabi : i do n't know , you tell me ! jake : all right , it 's time for you to leave now . gabi : make me . jake : fine ! gabi : let go of me ! oh ! it 's totally normal chad : so there 's no way to predict what 'll happen next ? marlena : look , abigail is dealing with a very powerful hallucinogenic drug . and there 's no way to tell how it 's going to affect her neurochemistry . chad : are you saying that there might be permanent damage ? i 'll never get -- i 'll never get the real abigail back ? marlena : chad , it 's too soon to say . i 'm sorry , i know how upsetting this is for you . chad : i need to go be with abby -- i need to be there when she wakes up . marlena : yeah . that 's a very good idea because the more people surrounding abigail right now that love her , the better she 'll be . chad : i need to do everything i can to make sure gabi does n't get anywhere near her . ben : hey , you okay ? gabi : i 'm fine ! ben : that was quite a fall . gabi : no , it 's nothing . ben : no , no , no . you 're bleeding . jake : yeah , nothing that got blood all over the clean floor . gabi : clean ? are you kidding me ? this place is filthy ! that 's i fell in the first place . jake : i 'm renting the room upstairs . why do n't you come with me and i -- i 'll get you patched up . gabi : really ? jake : do n't -- uh - uh , do n't you get any ideas , all right ? i just do n't want you suing me . like i said , i ca n't afford to lose this job . gabi : right , right . jake : well , let 's go . the sooner i get done with you , the sooner i get rid of you . gabi : that 's what you think . [ groans ] justin : did you just say that steve moved in with your mother ? ciara : yeah , but i just -- i assumed that you knew or i at least thought that maybe aunt kayla would tell you , but maybe she does n't even know herself , so . oh , gosh . would you look at the time . i -- i wish that i can stay and wait for grandpa , but i have to go pick ben up from work . justin : okay . ciara : so give grandpa my love . justin : i will . thank you for coming by . ciara : and i 'll see you soon . oh , hi , kayla . kayla : hi ! ciara : bye , kayla . kayla : bye . well , we meet again . justin : victor is still not back from radiology . kayla : well , then i would say that this is a waste of your time except i get to do this . everything okay ? justin : ciara told me something a little surprising . did you know that steve went home from the hospital with hope ? kayla : yeah . why ? justin : just curious . why did n't you mention it to me ? hope : that was -- that was okay . yeah . kind of cathartic . thank you . steve : i should thank you for giving me a roof over my head . hope : do n't be silly . no trouble at all . steve : i 'm always trouble , sweet thing , you know that . hope : i do know that , i do , absolutely . what , are you planning on burning down my house ? steve : no , no . i just hope i did n't put you in the middle of something . hope : what do you mean ? steve : kayla did n't seem too happy when i told her where i was gon na crash . hope : well , i 'm sure she understands you did n't have a lot of choices . steve : yeah . but i did have a choice when i told her she should stay with justin . again , she said she was n't staying with justin because she never left him . and she was n't planning to . so maybe she really does n't care . hope : you really believe that ? hope : all right , this is -- this is what i believe : that there is no way in hell that kayla brady is over you . steve , you pushed her away . what if you had n't ? what if you had told her you wanted to pick up where you left off ? steve : she 's with justin now . they 're happy . and she 's a hell of a lot better off with him than me . you agreed with me on that . hope : no . do n't put words in my mouth -- i did not say that . i said i understand how you feel . that 's different . damn it , i hate this . i love you both so damn much , i want to see you both happy . and i want to see justin happy as well . steve : well , then you should get on board with team justin . because i do n't see how kayla can ever be happy or safe with me again . kayla : i did n't purposely avoid telling you that steve was discharged . it just -- it did n't come up . justin : are you sure that 's the only reason ? kayla : what do you mean ? justin : i do n't know . i just think that maybe it -- it bothered you . steve living with hope . kayla : no . it didn't . justin : well , you seem a little bothered now . maybe you did n't want to tell me because you did n't want to admit how you really felt about it . gabi : first aid kit ? what , you 're a boy scout ? jake : you seem to know everything about me . was i ? ciara : mmm . answering a question with a question . that 's what people who are hiding something do . jake : oh , well , i happen to know a thing or two about you , gabriella josephine hernandez dimera . i know that your brother is the police commissioner , your daughter has two gay dads , and you have been to prison , oh , i do n't know -- how many times now ? gabi : you looked me up ! jake : no , not you . the stefan guy , who you would n't stop yammering about . so yeah , i wanted to learn a thing or two about him . turns out , the guy was kind of a jerk . no wonder you fell for him . gabi : takes one to know one . jake : can we just get this over with ? gabi : yes . ow ! okay , ow ! jake : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . that hurt ? gabi : well , you know what they say , no pain , no gain . ben : hey . what i can do for you guys ? did you really think you could hide from us ? ben : what are you talking about ? save it , jake . ben : no , no , no , i 'm not jake , my name 's ben . nice try , buddy . now hand it over . ben : hand what over ? i -- i really do n't know what you guys want here . our boss said you might try to play dumb . he gave us detailed instructions for what to do if you did . these fudge brownie m & m 's are really fudgey justin : it 's okay that you 're upset that the love of your life has moved in with one of your best friends . i mean , they were together as gina and stefano for months , and now -- kayla : and what ? what , they 're having an affair ? justin : no , no . that 's not what i was going to say . and the fact that you went there just sort of proves my suspicion that you have a lot of unresolved feelings that you still need to deal with , kayla . you know what , i got to go . kayla : justin ! justin : and i just remembered something -- i actually have a lot of work to do in the office , so i will -- i 'll take a rain check on dinner . kayla : what ? are you kidding ? hope : hey . we forgot to toast to gratitude . steve : ahh . well , i guess we should both be grateful we do n't have a scrap of silicone left in our heads . hope : oh , amen to that . steve : you 're lucky . you got to wear a tiara . but if we 're raising a glass to gratitude ... you should be grateful you did n't hurt bo the way i 've hurt kayla . going all the way back to when we first met . i was hired to terrorize her . i stalked her -- hope : steve -- steve : i harassed her over the phone , i broke into her apartment , spray painted the walls . hope : i remember . steve : i was a pretty bad dude back then . i guess things have come full circle . hope : no . no , they haven't . steve johnson , you are a good man , a good man . and a very dear friend of mine . and i will always , always be here for you , okay ? just like you 've always been there for me through so much . to friendship . steve : friendship . marlena : chad , what 's wrong ? did something happen with abigail ? chad : abigail 's gone . gabi : ow ! jake : you 're good to go . gabi : thank you . jake : so it 's safe to assume you 're not gon na sue me ?

[ scoffs ] never thought i 'd have a nursery in my beautiful villa . course ... never thought i 'd get another shot at you either . nicole : [ groans ] xander : [ grunts ] nicole : let me out of here , you son of a bitch ! chad : i see what 's happening here . did n't you say that you were n't scared of the - the -- what should we call it -- the curse of the mummy ? kate : i 'm not -- chad : no , no , i believe i can see it right now . it is starting to sink in that you are getting scared of the three englishmen that found the amulet and how they died the tragic deaths and the distant relatives that have all met their demise very gruesomely and tragically . i can see it . kate : you can see it ? chad : you 're scared . kate : yeah -- you -- yeah -- no , i 'm not scared , and i 'm not worried , but i am worried about you ! i 'm worried that you , head of dimera , are going to fly off to greece to meet some middleman , i -- you know , unless you 're secretly indiana jones , it could be very dangerous . chad : that reminds me . i got to bring my whip . kate : come on , chad . it 's not funny . chad : it 's funny . kate : no , it 's not funny , and i think we should send someone else in your place to pick up the amulet . chad : no , we ca n't . the guy 's only gon na meet if it 's me , and ... beside ... kate : yes ? chad : i ... look , i - i want to get out of here for a little bit . i - i need to get my mind off of stuff , so i want to go . kate : okay . i understand , i do . will you take a bodyguard with you , though ? chad : fine . but i need to go and get thomas packed because i need to bring him to abigail 's . kate : you can have a nanny do that . chad : w - why would n't i- i want to hang out with my son ? and i also need to let abigail know that i 'm leaving the country , which is ridiculous , by the way , that i need to go across town to let my wife know that i am planning to take a trip . it 's -- kate : chad . look . i know this separation is really difficult for you , but i honestly believe -- chad : oh , no , no , no . no , no , no . do n't say it . do n't even say that it 's for the best . kate : chad . chad : do n't say -- it is not for the best . my wife leaving me is not for the best . it hurts like hell . and i hate it . abigail : dario , i 'm sorry . dario : okay , look , look . before you turn me down , this ... is not a date , okay ? just want to take you out to dinner to celebrate your first day at work . abigail : so ... you 're talking about us as friends ? dario : mm . nothing more . nothing less . abigail : kay . well , in that case , dinner sounds very nice . [ laughs ] dario : kay . so , are you -- were you done here ? abigail : no , i actually have a few things i got to kind of finish up here , but can i just meet you ? dario : yeah . yeah , how about the , uh , café at the square ? abigail : sounds perfect . dario : perfect . i 'll see you later . abigail : okay . dario : okay . abigail : bye . dario : bye . abigail : thanks . [ cell phone trilling ] chad : hey . it 's , uh , it 's me . look , i need to talk to you right away . is it okay if i come down to the station ? xander : why did you do that ? nicole : i do n't know . maybe i get testy when an animal puts me in a cage . xander : nicole , i am trying to meet you halfway here . in fact , i was going to let you out of the cage for cocktails if you proved you could be a good girl , but unfortunately , you disappointed me . nicole : xander . if i promise to behave , can i hold holly ? xander : that depends ... on whether or not you can be trusted to even keep a promise . know this . if you do n't toe the line , you 'll never see that brat again . deimos : i 'm not really clear as to what you 're getting at , maggie . maggie : do n't play coy with me , deimos . i know exactly what you were up to when you went to canada . deimos : really ? xander : mission accomplished . maggie : all i can say is thank you . deimos : [ chuckles ] i 'm sorry , i never expected to hear you say those words to me . maggie : me neither . i heard that you tracked nicole down and you were planning to convince her to come home . deimos : yeah . yeah . i 'm just sorry i did n't get there sooner . perhaps i could 've avoided this xander mess from ever happening . maggie : i ca n't believe how much i hate that man . you know , it 's because of him that brady 's body is rejecting daniel 's heart . so i just have to hold on to the fact that brady 's a fighter . [ chuckles ] i 'm just scared . i 'm scared for nicole and holly . deimos : i know , maggie . i know you are . maggie : tell me ... you and your associate , you tracked down brady and nicole in canada . i mean , do you have any idea where xander took her and the baby ? deimos : no , i do n't . but i 'm gon na find out , maggie , no matter what it takes , because when it comes to nicole , i 'm never gon na give up . nicole : my goodness , i have missed you so much . hi . xander ? [ holly cooing ] have you heard any more news about brady ? xander : no , i have n't . wonder if that 's because i do n't give a flying expletive whether he lives or dies . you know ... i have to say , since you 've been hanging around with that particular pile of wet ramen , you 've really lost your edge . when i was listening in on all that domestic bliss up in canada , i almost lost my lunch . `` oh , brady . your frittata is amazing . `` you could 've been talking to your giagia . the hottest woman on the planet , she 's fallen for dudley do- right . nicole : you 're right , i have . and he is a decent man . xander : and a perfect little housewife . i mean , i know eric was n't exactly anything to write home about , but at least he was better than mr. frittata . nicole : eric killed daniel . xander : and you still have n't forgiven him , have you ? eric : i 'm sorry , but there 's no way i 'm letting you come with me . jennifer : well , i do n't recall needing your permission . eric : jennifer , you have children . you have a grandson . i 'm not letting you get involved . it 's too dangerous . jennifer : well , what about your safety ? eric : because i 'm expendable . jennifer : really ? eric : brady asked me to do this because i 've dealt with xander before in africa ... and here in salem . if he 's right about this , i am the only one who can help nicole and that baby get away from xander . jennifer : okay , can you at least call the authorities ? can you get some kind of backup ? eric : all right . i 'm gon na let you do that first . but you got to give me a head start . because if xander , if he even feels like he 's being ambushed , it 's gon na be really bad for nicole and holly , do you understand me ? jennifer : yeah . okay , no , i get it . maybe you 're right . but listen , what if this works out ? what if xander does give them up ? what are you gon na do ? eric : what do you mean ? jennifer : are you gon na let nicole and holly just run off again ? eric : i do n't know . i need to talk to brady about that . right now , i just need to get focused in getting her and her baby away from xander . hey . you do n't have to worry about me . jennifer : yeah . well , that is easier said than done . please be careful . eric : i will , i promise . you also have to promise not to tell anyone what i 've done and where i 'm at . you promise me that ? jennifer : yes , okay . eric : when i get back , i want the two of us to have that nonworking dinner . jennifer : [ laughs ] you got it . eric : good . i better get going . jennifer : yeah . [ stirring music ] eric : hey . [ telephone ringing ] chad : hey . abigail : hey ! hi . thomas , you did n't -- you did n't tell me you were bringing him when you came down here . chad : oh . sorry , i -- yeah , sorry , i should 've . i should 've told you i was bringing him . abigail : no , it 's okay . hey , come here . hey , mommy missed you . come here . oh- ho ! hi . chad : so , i have to ask you a favor . abigail : is something wrong ? chad : no . i need to ... head out of town for business for a little while . and i did n't want to leave him with the nanny and not tell you . so ... do you want -- do you just -- do you want to watch him ? while i 'm gone ? abigail : yeah . yeah . of course i do . where are you going ? chad : it 's best that we do n't talk about that . abigail : right , because the work that you 're doing is n't probably exactly legal . kay . well , i 'm gon na take thomas down to daycare so i can finish my work , so okay . you want to say bye to daddy ? you want to say bye ? say bye . chad : all right , my sweet boy . abigail : give him a kiss . chad : okay . abigail : i love you . say `` i love you . `` chad : i love you . i 'll see you soon , okay ? abigail : thank you . just be careful . please ? [ telephone ringing ] eric : so i 'll be heading off to greece . hopefully xander 's still there . brady : if you need ... [ coughs ] money , i can -- eric : hey , hey , hey . easy . hey , do you need me to call a nurse ? brady : no . no , i 'm fine . eric : you do n't look fine . as a matter of fact , you look worse than you did before . brady : thanks . things are n't working out like i - like i hoped . eric : brady , what do you mean ? they removed the bullet . they said you were gon na be fine . brady : yeah . my body has other plans , eric . the ... fallout from the gunshot , it 's causing trauma throughout my system . it 's ... causing a chain reaction . my body is beginning to reject daniel 's heart . xander : aw . you barely touched your martini . did i spoil the mood when i mentioned eric 's name ? your reaction just now , i 'm right , are n't i ? you have n't forgiven him . nicole : no . xander : is n't that a bit harsh ? it was an accident . was n't there an icy road ? [ holly coos ] nicole : and a bottle of booze . xander : yeah , that always surprised me . seemed so out of character for the eric that i knew . i mean , he was always a tortured soul . why else would he become a priest ? but ... the way he hit the sauce like that , driving drunk , that does n't make any sense . something must 've been really bothering him to send him down that road . mm . i wonder . do you think maybe he was jealous of you and daniel ? nicole : eric was daniel 's best friend . xander : but you used to be his lover . nicole : that was a long time ago . xander : oh , but he was your hero . that night at the tv station , where i came after the two of you ... you were incredibly close . if i had to make a bet that night , my money would have been on you and eric . nicole : yeah . well , you would 've lost that bet . xander : dr. dan was so dull , though . i mean , certainly not as drab as brady must be , but -- nicole : okay , you listen to me , you little -- xander : that 's right . you need to curb your temper , nicole . nicole : well , maybe if we change the subject , because i really do n't like talking about my personal life with you . xander : i can see that . nicole : maybe you can answer a few questions for me . are you planning on keeping me and holly here indefinitely ? xander : we 'll see . nicole : what do you want with me , xander ? xander : is n't it obvious ? revenge . you , brady , that bitch theresa , you turned my family against me . nicole : no , we did n't . you did . xander : do n't interrupt . after i was shot , presumed dead , i took a little swim in salem 's river . i washed up on shore , quietly made my way back here to greece , and bided my time . when i heard that you were a fugitive , i thought it might be fun to see if i could track you down before the authorities did . and i did . oh , nicole , i ca n't tell you how satisfying it was -- is -- to destroy your and brady 's domestic bliss . nicole : well , i 'm sure by now that brady 's told victor that you 've kidnapped us . or deimos . so it 's only a matter of time before they track you down and find you . xander : that 's exactly what i 'm counting on , and when the time comes , i 'll be ready . chad : [ sighs ] kate : well , you look terrible . you and abigail have a fight ? chad : was n't a fight . but it did n't go well . she assumes i 'm up to no good . which i am , so . kate : you 're just going to have to let that go . you really are . i mean , maybe this amulet is n't on the up - and - up , but the truth : what you 're doing is going after deimos . maybe if you had told her that , she would see the bigger picture . i mean , after everything that he 's done to the two of you , i would think she would be grateful . chad : okay , yes , but she does have a right to be upset . i did promise this big plan to make dimera legit , straightforward , something that thomas could be proud of , which i have not done . kate : okay . look . i do n't want to sound cruel , but the truth is , this girl made the choice not to be part of this family , not to be part of your life . but you still have thomas to think about . this company used to be like the rock of gibraltar , and now we 're on very shaky footing . if thomas is going to have any legacy at all , any legacy at all , we have to make sure that his birthright is viable . chad : all right , i guess . kate : no . no , you do n't guess . you know that i 'm right . chad : fine , okay -- kate : and if that means bending the rules , then so be it . chad : fine . you 're right . i shall go and get the amulet . i need to get out of this house anyways . does n't feel like home anymore . dario : hey . abigail : hey . hi . dario : did n't know you 'd be bringing along thomas . abigail : oh , yeah , chad came by after you left . he 's got to go out of town for a last - minute trip , so i get to take care of this little guy . you do n't mind ? dario : mind ? no , come on . i like the kid . abigail : good . dario : so , how was your first day at work ? abigail : it was great . dario : yeah ? abigail : yeah . yeah , i mean , i still got ta learn a lot of the lingo and everything , but it 's already been much more exciting than the hospital . dario : yeah ? abigail : yeah . well , today , they had this guy -- they brought in this one perp -- and he just announced to the room that the lovely young thing in the corner was an incentive to get thrown into jail , and you know , of course , he was totally drunk . dario : yeah , well , drunk or not , the guy 's got taste . abigail : oh . dario : [ laughs ] so , what do you think ? you think this is gon na be a long - term thing ? abigail : no . no . [ laughs ] not really . it just mostly has to do with the daycare and the health benefits right now . dario : yeah , but it has more to do than that . you told me yourself , this was about you getting your independence , standing on your own two feet without chad . abigail : yeah . yeah , it 's that too . i mean , that 's really important to me , and i think you could say that i 'm using this job to hit the reset button on my life . deimos : i 'm doing everything i can to track down holly and nicole . maggie : i just ca n't imagine how scared nicole must be . deimos : you know , maggie , you should n't worry . nicole , she 's strong , she 's smart -- i have no doubt that she 'll do everything she can to make sure that nothing bad happens to holly . maggie : i 'm sure she will . but still . i mean , after everything she 's gone through to try to have a child , and now this . i mean , xander is bad enough , but then ... if she 's found , she 's gon na be brought back home and put in jail for what she did . deimos : i am gon na do everything in my power to make sure that nicole gets the happy ending that she deserves . maggie : thank you . deimos : was there something else you wanted to say ? maggie : well ... [ laughs ] we 've discussed this before , deimos . i mean , you know , victor brought it up to you , as have i , and ... i guess it bears repeating . i mean , if you rescue nicole ... it 's very likely she 'll not want anything to do with you . deimos : i 'm going into this with my eyes wide open , maggie . maggie : so your eyes are open , but ... what about your heart ? nicole : you want them to know you kidnapped us ? xander : and when they do , they 're going to realize they made a very big mistake when they wrote me off . hell , they should be impressed with everything i 've pulled off . nicole : except for the fact that you shot brady . you know , deimos is n't his biggest fan , but victor loves brady very much . so you better hope that he does n't track you down , because you will be a dead man . and considering the fact that you 're crashing in what is probably one of their places -- xander : this is not their place . this villa , this entire island , belongs to me . [ holly cooing ] nicole : well , unless you made a deal with the devil , how could you afford this place ? i took all your money in the lawsuit . xander : oh , do n't be naive . you did n't get all my money . you 've never heard of offshore accounts ? anyway , since i 've returned to greece since my time in salem , i 've done lots of wheeling and dealing under various aliases , and i 've done rather well for myself , thank you very much . nicole : it 's okay , sweetheart , hey . yeah , everything 's fine . okay ? xander : you really are good with her . [ holly crying ] nicole : this little one 's always been my end game . would you please tell me what yours is ? shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . lilly . abigail : yeah , that 's great . dario : perfect . abigail : course , you know , i 'm not the only one that 's hitting the reset button . dario : what do you mean ? abigail : oh ... thank you . dario : yeah . abigail : you . i mean , ever since eduardo 's been arrested , you 've kind of been in charge of the gdr corporation , and that 's a big undertaking . dario : yeah . and i can handle it . or what 's left of it . abigail : what do you mean ? dario : i 'm trying to make the company keep bringing in a profit , providing for the hernandez family . my father had big dreams . he was building an empire . now all that 's fallen apart thanks to deimos . abigail : and you still fault deimos for your father being arrested ? dario : of course i do . abigail : yeah . dario : i want to make that son of a bitch pay for what he did one day . but until then , i 'm gon na concentrate on getting gdr back on its feet . abigail : well , you can do it . you 're smart , and you 're driven , and you 're gon na do whatever it takes to make it a success . dario : it 's nice to have someone believe in me . abigail : hey , well , that 's what friends are for , right ? dario : yeah . abigail : yeah . eric : brady , ca n't they do something ? brady : dr. grant 's doing everything she can . gon na try some anti - rejection medication on me . but honestly , the best thing you can do for me , the best medicine for me , is to get nicole and holly back , all right ? get 'em away from that animal , eric , all right ? eric : brady , i 'm gon na do everything i can . hey , tell me , how 's tate ? brady : tate is good . he 's ... with marlena . it 's -- he thinks of holly as his sister . [ laughs ] yeah . he loves nicole . i need to tell him that they 're gon na be okay . eric : course . brady : it 's important , you know , since i do n't know if i 'm gon na be around . eric : hey , hey , hey . brady , you stop talking like that . you just keep taking your medication , you hear me ? brady : it 's not just that , eric . i 'm going to be -- i 'm going to be arrested . for what i did for helping nicole , so that 's why it 's important that you use every penny i got . you make sure that holly and nicole never need to come back here to salem , do you understand me ? eric : promise . brady : i 'm sorry i 'm asking this of you , man . i just , there 's no one else i can count on . i need your help . eric : listen , man , i 'm gon na do everything i can for nicole . and i 'm gon na keep talking to chloe . i 'm gon na convince her to drop those charges . brady : listen ... i think this is out of chloe 's hands now . that 's why they ca n't come back here . nicole and holly ca n't come back here . 'cause if nicole loses holly again , eric , it 's gon na kill her . it 'll kill her . this time it 's his turn . abigail : all right , tommy . dario : why do n't you let me hold him so you can finish your dinner ? abigail : are you sure ? dario : yeah , come on . abigail : thank you . dario : hey , come here , dude . abigail : got it ? aww . so good . he 's still a little bit small for a high chair . dario : i got him . abigail : but man , when he wants out of his stroller , he means it , do n't you , huh ? dario : you asleep ? hey , kiddo . why do n't you give your mommy a break , huh ? she 's had a long day at work . abigail : uh - huh . dario : needs to eat in peace . abigail : mm - hmm . dario : yeah , we 'll look up at the stars . abigail : i see you there . tsst , tsst , tsst . all right .

[ footsteps shuffle ] deimos : you know , for a while there , i really started to believe that you and i had become allies , even friends . then you betrayed my trust , brady . stabbed me right in the back . i asked you straight out if you were in love with nicole , and of course , you flat - out denied it . but not only had you fallen back in love with nicole , but then you also managed to turn her against me . now , that ... that is something i can never forgive you for , brady . but you do n't have to worry , because while your heart is slowly giving out , i 'm gon na rescue nicole and holly from xander ... with his cooperation , of course . nicole may be in love with you right now , but you can mark my words : she 's gon na end up with me ... because i put the perfect plan in place , and no one -- especially not you -- is going to interfere with that .

nothing could be more cruel . jack : if -- when -- when it is proven that gabi did indeed poison our little girl , i hope to hell that the sadistic -- i just hope she finally gets what she deserves . jake : how many times do i have to say this ? your time 's up , so get the hell out . gabi : i will . as soon as you admit that you 're my husband . jake : not gon na happen because it 's not true . gabi : could you get me a glass of water ? it could be a while . jake : i could get you a glass of get the hell out of here because this is trespassing , and last time i checked , that 's illegal . gabi : well , if you wanted me out of here so badly , why do n't you just call the police ? mmm , interesting . yeah , you do n't want to do that . hmm . is that because you 're living under an assumed name , stefan ? jake : all right . that 's it . i 've tried to be nice but this is over . eli : hey . ciara : hey . oh , wow , i 'm so glad that you 're here . eli : what happened ?

ben : he 's upstairs with gabi . eli : gabi ? what does she have to do with this ? gabi : [ speaking spanish ] get your hands off me ! jake : not until you get it through that thick skull of yours that my name is not -- eli : stefan dimera ? lani : kristen , it 's me . look , have you heard from theo yet ? please call me when you get this , okay ? hey , brady , what are you doing here ? brady : d.a . giddens overruled your boyfriend . charges have been dropped , which means i 'm free to go and free to try to find kristen and track down our daughter . which is not gon na be easy , lani , because kristen has disappeared . lani : wait , brady . there 's something you need to know . victor : you told maggie the truth ? what the hell were you thinking ? xander : just do n't upset yourself , uncle , okay ? victor : you 're the one that 's upsetting me , damn it . after all the trouble we went through ? could n't just keep your mouth shut ? xander : i did n't have a choice . another inmate was going on about how you 'd been stabbed . maggie was frantic . she was asking all sorts of questions and she warned me if i did n't give her the answers , she 'd get them somewhere else . but would n't you prefer she heard it for me than from some random person in her cell block ? victor : i 'd rather she did n't have to hear it at all . xander : i know . victor : how 'd she take it ? xander : how do you think ? learning that she killed her own granddaughter , she -- she fell apart . all i could do was hold her . broke my heart . victor : i got to go to maggie and make sure she 's okay . xander : you 're in no condition to go anywhere , uncle . just stop . sarah : jeanne marie , what are you doing here ? we were just heading out . [ muffled screaming ] jeanne marie : sorry i caught you at a bad time . just wanted to see how you and la petite fille are doing . sarah : oh , yeah , we are -- we 're doing great . yeah , we 're fine . like i said , we are in a bit of a hurry , so i wo n't -- rex : ah , come on ! jeanne marie : what 's that ? is someone else here ? who is that ? your migraine strikes , and the struggle is real . eli : stefan ? is that really you ? gabi : even a cop thinks that you 're stefan . jake : you 're a cop ? eli : detective eli grant , salem pd . jake : name 's jake . and apparently i look like this lady 's dead husband . is that a crime ? eli : no , but assault is . jake : assault ? no , no , no , no , no . she would not leave my apartment . i had no choice but to drag her out . eli : no , i 'm not talking about her . i 'm talking about him . jake : dude . what the hell happened ? you okay ? ben : i 'm fine . ciara : no , he 's not . eli : well , while you were upstairs , two men attacked him . jake : attacked you , why ? they take anything ? ben : no , man , they did n't want money . they thought i was you . eli : maybe you can tell me why two men would want to beat you up . victor : maggie needs me . xander : you need to get well ! do n't worry about maggie . i 've -- i 've taken care of her . victor : you certainly have . xander : what i mean is , i contacted will , told him what happened . he 's on his way to statesville now to be with her . i also called sarah . victor : and ? xander : straight to voicemail . victor : so you have no idea where she and the baby are ? xander : not yet . i 'm gon na find her before anyone else does and straighten out this mess . lani : what if i could help you find kristen ? brady : what are you talking about ? eli said she ran . lani : i know where she is . brady : you -- you helped her , did n't you ? lani : yeah , and i probably should n't have . but kristen has the chance to see her baby again , the one that she thought was dead . brady , she has a chance to love her and raise her and hold her . and i knew that if she got arrested that that might not happen . brady : does e -- eli know ? lani : yeah , and he is not happy with me . brady : you really put a lot on the line , lani . lani : i did . because i would give anything , brady , i would do anything if i got the second chance to have my baby boy back in my arms . and kristen deserves that . brady : thank you . lani , where is she ? lani : i took her to a safe place where we could figure out where the baby is . brady : do you have any idea where rachel and sarah might be ? lani : no , not exactly , but we did -- we did come up with a lead . jeanne marie : that 's your husband , is n't it ? sarah : yep , that 's -- that 's chad . jeanne marie : lovebirds back in the nest . i 'm so happy to hear it . sarah : mm - hmm , yeah , we 've never been happier . but like i said , we -- we 've got to go , so . jeanne marie : hallo ? monsieur chad ? jeanne marie .

[ speaking french ] depression . jennifer : no , julie , we have no more news . i 'm just at the pub with jack and we 're gon na -- we 're just gon na get some food . oh , wait , can i call you back ? i have another call coming in . all right , love you , bye - bye . it 's chad . hey , what 's up ? what ? no ! jack : what ? jennifer : abigail 's missing . she 's not in her room . jack : oh , no , oh , my god . jennifer : we are on our way right now . do n't leave ! jack : all right , all right , right , all right , let 's go ! jake : i have no idea who would want to beat me up . eli : you 're not in some kind of trouble ? maybe pissed some people off ? jake : none of the above . gabi : well , i mean , you do have a knack for ticking people off . jake : you know , maybe whoever these thugs were thought that i was this stefan guy she wo n't shut up about . it 's not like he did n't run with some shifty people . gabi : how dare you ? jake : just stating the facts . gabi : well , you 're wrong . jake : am i ? gabi : mm - hmm . jake : since everyone wants to hang this guy 's name around my neck , i did a little bit of research , and apparently , stefan dimera is an entitled master of the universe kind of guy who does n't let a little thing like ethics get in between him and what he wants . so it is understandable that maybe if somebody thought he was alive that they 'd come after him , although the widow dimera thinks that he was quite the catch , right ? eli : is that possible ? you think the two men that attacked you could 've thought that you were stefan instead of jake ? lani : once kristen 's phone was charged , we saw that rex left her a message . brady : rex brady calls kristen out of the blue ? i mean , why ? what did the message say ? lani : not much . just that he wanted her to call him back and that it was important . brady : did he say why ? lani : no . and that 's the weird thing . then the message cut midsentence . brady : you have no idea where this call came from ? lani : no . but i did call the hospital and they said he was at a medical conference in paris . he was supposed to show up for work the next day and he didn't . brady : rex brady is in paris and he calls kristen about something important , so -- lani : right . but , i mean , he has to be with sarah , right ? brady : right , right . lani : which is why we called theo and asked him if he could trace the number of the exact location . i tried calling kristen before you got here but she did n't answer . brady : did she -- did she -- did she call you back ? lani : no , not yet . brady : lani , can you take me to her , please ? lani : yes , of course . [ phone ringing ] brady : is that -- is that kristen ? lani : no , it 's theo . victor : have they arrested kristen yet ? xander : she got away from the police . could be anywhere . victor : you 're worried she 's gon na go after sarah . xander : oh , i 'm sure of it . i 'm afraid of what she 'll do when she finds her . i mean , if she 'd stick a knife in your chest for switching a baby , imagine what she 'll do to sarah for kidnapping her . victor : yes , then we have to make sure that the police get to kristen first . once she 's put in jail for stabbing me , we wo n't have to worry about her going after sarah or brady . or anyone else . jeanne marie : hallo ? monsieur chad ? are you all right ? rex : [ muffled speaking ] i think he has pain . bad pain . [ speaking french ] sarah : oh , jet leg . and he 's got a bad cold -- the flu . he 's got a terrible , terrible sore throat . poor man ca n't even talk . so , yeah . jeanne marie : my god . that 's terrible . sarah : yeah , mickey and i were actually on our way to go get him some cough syrup , like i said , so we 're in a hurry . jeanne marie : yes , but of course . but first , i must say , your wife is a wonderful woman , so you must fix the problems . [ speaking french ] i 'm sorry , maybe if i come a little closer . sarah : i 'm afraid i -- i just ca n't let you do that . eli : i got to get back to the station . ciara : wait , eli , that 's it ? eli : there 's not -- there 's not a lot to go on . i mean , there 's no security footage , there 's no other witnesses . i mean , i 'll file a report with ben 's description , but , sorry , there 's not a lot for me to do at this point . ben : sorry i could n't be more help . it just happened so fast . eli : well , if you remember anything else , just let me know . ben : i will , thank you . eli : and if they return -- jake : which hopefully they do n't , but you will the first to know . hey , detective . ms. dimera here has been harassing me nonstop . she 's been borderline stalking me . gabi : i have not , okay ? jake : and i was about to call the cops , but since you 're here , maybe you could escort her off the premises ? gabi : i 'm not going anywhere . jake : which is why i 'll call the police . i 'd hate to see you drive back to the station and come back all the way over here . gabi : we are not done . eli : no , i think you are . you see , because if he decides to call the cops again , which i would n't blame him if he did , the next officer that comes out here might not be so understanding . gabi : fine , okay , yeah . i 'm gon na go . you do n't have to walk me out . i can find my own way . but i 'm gon na be back . and i am gon na figure out the truth . xander : well , this has certainly blown up in our faces , has n't it ? victor : well , we do damage control . use whatever titan resources you need . find sarah and the baby and make things right . xander : thank you , uncle . i 'm not sure i deserve your generosity . i 've let you down . i would n't blame you if you hated me . victor : no , hate you ? i gave you my father 's drachma on your wedding day . because you 've proven to be a true kiriakis . xander : `` as long as you carry this , your family will carry you . `` victor : you 've done your best to carry the kiriakis family . and for that , i 'm very proud of you . xander : but i 've made such a mess of things . victor : learn how to put your family first . make all the hard choices . you 've come to know that they 're not always easy . sadly , this time , maggie in pieces , sarah and the baby , god knows where . all the work that we did to protect them was all for nothing . xander : not if i can help it . lani : thank you so much , theo . hey , and remember , this stays between us , okay ? i love you , too . brady : so , what do we got , what do we got ? lani : theo did it . brady : he did ? lani : he tracked down the exact location where rex made the call . brady : oh . it 's paris ! lani : yep . brady : does kristen know ? lani : he said that he called her this morning with the news and he was surprised that she had n't called me yet . brady : i 'm not , i 'm not . she 's probably on her way there . lani : yeah , you ca n't blame her , wanting to see her daughter . brady : i 'm more worried about sarah , to be honest with you . lani : wait , no , you do n't -- you do n't think kristen would hurt her ? brady : should we ask victor that question ? i got to go . i got to -- i 'm the only one that can probably talk her out of doing something she 's gon na regret , so ... god , lani , thank you . thank you . lani : you 're welcome . jeanne marie : what is the problem ? why can i not see your husband ? sarah : i 'm sorry . i just -- he could be very contagious , and i -- i would hate it if you caught whatever he has . jeanne marie : you said the flu possibly . sarah : mm - hmm , yeah , i 'm afraid so . jeanne marie : i understand . i will leave you . monsieur , i hope you feel better , and you have learned something from this . it 's time for you to be good to your wife and your baby . sarah : bye , jeanne marie . jake : here . hopefully that 'll help . ben : thanks . jake : i 'm really sorry this happened . ben : i 'm fine . ciara : no , you 're not . ben : it 's okay . ciara : no , it 's not , ben . you got a beating meant for him . jake : like i said , i do n't know anything about this . ben : are you sure about that ? these guys thought i was you , not stefan . jake : that 's very strange . ben : i do n't think it 's that obscure . you know , i did n't tell eli everything . ciara : wait . ben , why not ? why did n't you tell him everything ? ben : because these thugs were looking for something . and clearly they wanted it bad enough to beat the crap out of me . so what was it , jake ? what did they want ? lani : everything okay ? eli : it 's fine . lani : that 's all you 're gon na give me ? eli : ben was assaulted but he 's okay . all right ? apparently it was just mistaken identity . lani : hey , hey . have you decided on what you 're gon na do ? are you gon na tell rafe that i helped kristen escape ? gabi : i need talk to you . lani : gabi , we are in the middle of something . gabi : well , i do n't give a damn . okay , your job is to protect and serve this community . i am part of this community . eli : what is it , gabi ? gabi : i need to talk to a prisoner . eli : who ? gabi : dr. wilhelm rolf . xander : hello , mate . brady : xander . xander : what do you say we get this bird in the air ? kristen : okay , this is the place . hang in there , rachel . mommy 's here . | xander called sarah while she was packing . rex told her to answer the phone . she sent it to voicemail . rex tried to convince sarah not to run with the baby . she put his gag back on his face . she opened the door and saw her neighbor jeanne marie . she walked in once she saw rex . she wanted to know what happened . she spoke to him and thought he was chad . she was glad they made up . jeanne marie did n't acknowledge how rex was tied up . she tried to get closer to him , but sarah said he had the flu . she ended up leaving . lani went to the police station . she told eli what happened with kristen . he said there was nothing to talk about because he saw the surveillance footage . he was upset that she took kristen out of the station and lied about it . he told her that she evaded an arrest . lani felt she had a good reason to do it . she told him how kristen was her friend . he asked her what would happen once kristen found sarah . he reminded her that kristen stabbed victor . lani did n't think she would do that . she believed she did the right thing . she would have done the same things kristen did . gabi wanted answers about jake 's identity . he would n't do a dna test so she kissed him . he wanted answers from her . she knew he was stefan . he kissed her too . he told her that she overtook him . they got into an argument about whether he was stefan or not . he wanted to know if she was on medication . ciara found ben passed out on the floor . he woke up and told her about the thugs that beat him up thinking he was jake . she wanted to take him to the hospital , but he did n't want to go . |

'cause henry the horse here -- by the way , that 's his name . henry . he 's a horse , of course . mimi : [ laughs ] shawn d. : he meant a lot to zack , and he 's gon na mean a lot to our baby . what ? what 's wrong ? mimi : nothing . i just love you so much . shawn d. : i love you , too . mimi : i know how much your family has always meant to you , and i 'm so sorry that it feels like they 're being torn apart . i hate seeing what it 's doing to you . shawn d. : well , i do n't want to think about that . this is the only family that matters now , and i want to focus on the children that we 're gon na have because my mom , my dad , zack , that family is dead . bo : do you really believe that ? mimi : oh , my god .

[ chuckles ] after what you did , after what you let chelsea do , i do n't blame mom for never wanting to forgive you , and i do n't want to have anything to do with you , either . bo : shawn , if you 'd just give me a chance -- [ scene_break ] mimi : here 's your water . bo : thanks . mimi : um , i 'm not the world 's best cook , but maybe one night you could come by for dinner . shawn d. : my dad is a very busy man . bo : [ chuckles ] we 'll play it by ear , okay ? uh ... what 's henry doing here ? i mean , why 'd you take him out of zack 's room ? shawn d. : well , since you 're here , you might as well know . mimi and i are planning on having a kid .

[ scene_break ] sami : you 're gon na call me a terrorist , tek ? tek : well , can you think of a better word ? sami : i 'm just a woman who 's gon na make sure she winds up with the man she loves . lexie : okay , okay , sami , sami , listen to me . you say you love austin , but you 're denying him the one thing that would truly make him happy -- carrie . sami : i make him happy , and he 'll realize that . lexie : you 're pathetic . sami : well , at least i 'm not a tramp . lexie : oh . you know what ? if you do wind up with austin , you will never really make him happy because he will always be dreaming of the life that he could have had with carrie , and eventually he 'll leave you , sami . sami : shut up and listen to me . you want your boyfriend to hold onto his job , you want to make sure that you can continue to have sex with him whenever you want and still stay married to abe and keep theo ? then you 're gon na call carrie right now . otherwise , i will tell abe and everyone in this whole town everything about your dirty little secret .

[ scene_break ] mimi : what 's going on with patrick ? bo : do you know if he was ever involved with a woman named alma delgado ? mimi : yeah , he was . he mentioned her name to me a couple of times , and he never talked about his love life . i think he really cared about her , but she died in some sort of accident . why are you asking about her ? bo : her death was n't accidental . she was murdered . mimi : oh , my god . you do n't think that my brother had anything to do with her murder , do you ? bo : i 'm not sure . mimi : well , i am . patrick 's not a murderer . bo : i know you love him and that this is difficult to hear , and maybe you 're right , but there are a lot of questions about alma 's past . mimi : patrick loved her . i know that he 's done some bad things in the past , but he would never have hurt alma ever . bo : maybe you 're right . but i do have to question him , and if it turns out he was involved with her death , i got to find him before he hurts somebody else . [ scene_break ] hope : you 're right , okay ? you 're right . i do . i still love bo , but it 's completely irrelevant . caroline : how can love be irrelevant ? hope : because there is no way bo and i will ever be together again . caroline : hope , you do n't mean that . hope : caroline , i 'm sorry , but you know what ? i have to go . caroline : hope ... hope : god , i hate this .

[ scene_break ] austin : it 's just that it was n't long ago that i thought i lost carrie to rafe , and it just hit home to me how much i was in love with her . and then she decided to give our marriage a second chance , right ? and i - i - i was determined -- i was determined to make it count , billie . billie : and you did . i saw how determined you were . austin : i just ca n't stop thinking ... billie : what ? austin : i was just a lot more committed to our marriage than she was . billie : oh , come on , austin . austin : no . billie : stop it . austin : billie , you know what my reoccurring thought is ? billie : what ? austin : she died with rafe . i mean , i 'm supposed to have children ... with her . why was she there ? tell me , billie , why was she there ? why was she there ? billie : i 'm afraid that , that answer died with carrie and rafe . i 'm sorry .

[ scene_break ] sami : hey , will ? i know how hard this must be for you . how hard it is for all of us to have lost so many people that we love . i know how close you were to my mom . but we 're a family , and i think we could really help each other through this mourning if we could -- if we could be together as a family and , i think that that 's what my mom would want . will : right now , the only thing i can think about is that i just lost six people that i love . lucas : son , your mom and i were just trying to give you some support right now . [ scene_break ] sami : i just do n't wan na lose him . i do n't wan na make the same mistakes with will that i did with my whole family . i ... i just ca n't lose him too . lucas : you 're not gon na lose him . you wo n't . sami : i 'm gon na be different . lucas , i swear to you . i know -- i know i have said it a thousand times , but this time , i am serious . i am not gon na be selfish . i am not gon na make scenes . and my mom may not be here -- she may not be here to see it , but she is gon na be proud of me . i 'm gon na make her proud of me . lucas : shh .

[ scene_break ] bo : hey , john . what do you think is the best way we handle that scum harmon ? john : i say we bring back the tradition of hanging traitors in a public square . hope : oh , well , as satisfying as that sounds , there 's still no telling what he knows about stefano 's operations . john : so what are you saying we do ? we arrest him , and then we what ? we sit him down and interrogate him ? rafe : well , he might be the key to breaking this case wide open . john : come on , rafe , you ca n't trust a damn thing harmon says . hope : still , now that we know that about him , maybe we can use that to our advantage . bo : yeah , we could have shane feed him information , which he will obviously share with his boss . we could have that weasel manipulate stefano into doing exactly what we want . [ scene_break ] billie : austin , would you please stop torturing yourself about why carrie was in the safe house with rafe ? her family was there . [ phone ringing ] austin : yeah , i know . billie : what ? listen , i 've got to leave . but are you gon na be okay ? you wo n't go and try to strangle stefano , will you ? promise me . austin : if i decide to do that , i 'll text you first . deal ? billie : ha , ha . austin : ha , ha . besides , roman 's coming here , and he wants to talk to us , so i 'm good . billie : okay . all right , i love you . i 'll call you later . austin : i love you .

[ scene_break ] roman : all right . first of all , thank you for waiting here . i have something very important to share with you . brady : tell me it 's that we 're gon na nail stefano for murder . roman : unfortunately , not yet . but what i have to share with you is even better . doug , julie , kayla , i need to speak with you alone . the rest of you , i need for you to move quickly and quietly to the rear of the pub . there 's a beer truck out there . i want you to get in the back . sami : dad , what is this all about ? roman : sami , no questions . just do what i tell you right now . [ scene_break ] harmon : how you holding up , agent donovan ? as close as you 've been to the brady family , i ca n't imagine it was easy for you to be at the memorial . shane : bo , hope , john , and marlena , they were family to me . i hate to admit this , but with their deaths , the i.s.a . has suffered a crippling blow in its efforts to bring down stefano dimera . [ scene_break ] roman : all right , all right , everybody . all right , settle down . uh , you ready ? i want you to take your blindfolds off . brady : what ? what the ... marlena : you 're not dreaming this . sami : mom , is that really you ? oh , my god . brady : dad . john : i 'm still kicking . [ general chatter ] gabi : do n't ever do that to me ever again . austin : i thought i lost you . i thought i lost you . will : oh , my ... never , never do that to me again . never do that to me again . marlena : oh ! oh , my dear boy . oh . [ scene_break ] julie : i feel like -- i feel like i should be pinching myself . doug : it 's a miracle . really , i mean , even roman figured that they all died from that bomb blast when it went off . a trapdoor . i mean , how lucky can you get ? kayla : i do n't know . julie : [ laughing ] kayla : to nine lives . julie : yes . kayla : and more . julie : and more . [ scene_break ] [ laughing ] julie : my god . lucas : oh , i can not believe you . [ general chatter ] roman : all right , all right . all you happy people . happy people , listen up , i need your attention , okay ? first of all , i do n't think i 've ever seen so much joy in one place . but i am sure you are all very confused about everything that happened . nicole : `` confused `` does n't really describe it . roman : well , i 'm gon na clear that up . our friends here were forced into hiding by stefano dimera . he was responsible for rigging the house to blow up . the explosion was real . john : fortunately , we got to safety with seconds to spare . hope : it was pure luck we found that trapdoor . it saved our lives . marlena : we never meant to cause you a moment 's pain . not a moment , not a moment . john : but it was necessary . in order to bring dimera down for good , we need the upper hand . bo : your grieving for us ? it has convinced stefano that we are dead . hope : we can operate behind the scenes , get the evidence we need to nail this bastard . john : which means it is critical that all of you continue to pretend that we 're dead , so we can operate underground . bo : everything we 're doing here -- everything we 're doing -- hinges on the fact that you keep this secret . marlena : my dear boy . oh . [ scene_break ] rafe : hey . nicole : hi . both : [ chuckling ] rafe : so ? aww ... how we doing ? nicole : i 'm much better now . rafe : well , that 's good . i 'm sorry . i 'm really sorry . i 'm sure the last thing that you need right now is this stress . it does n't really help , does it ? nicole : no , i - i was stressed , yeah , but i 'm fine now because daniel was there for me . rafe : oh , well , that 's good . i 'm glad to hear that . nicole : yeah , i mean , i just ca n't -- i just really ca n't believe that you 're alive right now , you know ? not -- not just -- not just because you 're the only one standing in between ej and the baby , but because i actually care about you . rafe : okay . [ scene_break ] sami : well , i mean , i should say that a part of me is really glad that you two are okay , and everyone is okay . but another part of me thinks ... i ca n't believe you let us go through with that . i ca n't believe you put us through thinking you were dead . rafe : right , okay . well , for the part that 's glad that i 'm okay , thank you . sami : i mean , was that your idea , rafe ? i ca n't believe that you would 've thought of something like that . it 's unbelievably selfish to -- to torture us like that . i mean , we were mourning , and -- and weeping . rafe : sami , sami . stefano tried to kill us , so we put this plan together to protect our families , okay ? do you see how that works there ? sami : no , i do n't . rafe : okay , then , i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you want me to say . [ scene_break ] shane : the loss of john , bo , and hope severely undermines the i.s.a . efforts to get stefano dimera . harmon : why ? do n't you have the information we need to move forward ? shane : i was on my way to debrief in the safe house just before the explosion happened . i 'm afraid all the information they had on stefano died with them in that explosion . harmon : i did n't realize that . shane : so essentially we 're having to start again from scratch . only this time , agent harmon , i 'd like you to be at the center of our investigation . can i count on you ? harmon : it would be my honor . shane : good man . [ scene_break ] rafe : okay , uh , listen , before sami interrupted us , there was something that i wanted to tell you also . nicole : okay . yeah ? rafe : i care about you too . which also makes this a lot harder to say . um ... nicole : oh , god . what ? what ? rafe : calm down . you know i 'm here for you , okay ? nicole : yeah . rafe : we are in this together . i wan na protect you and the baby from ej . you know that , right ? nicole : yes . rafe : okay . but , um , when i thought that we were gon na die , i told carrie the truth about the baby . nicole : oh , oh , okay , um ... yeah , of course . sure , i under -- i understand . i mean , i just -- i just hope that she does n't tell anyone our secret . rafe : no , no , no , she 's not gon na say anything . nicole : okay . rafe : hey , and besides that , everyone thinks we 're dead , so ... nicole : [ chuckling ] rafe : buys you some time , right ? nicole : right . rafe : right . nicole : so you love her ? lucky girl . rafe : listen , hey . you know i 'm here for you . nicole : mm - hmm . rafe : i 'm here for you . i 'm gon na protect you and that baby from ej , okay ? nicole : [ chuckling ] yeah . i mean , heck , ten minutes ago , i thought you were dead , so things are really looking up now . oh , god , you know what ? i 'm sorry , um ... rafe : no . nicole : i really , i - i ... i really do need to thank you . i need to thank you for making me believe that there are really good guys out there , and that maybe i ... sorry . and that maybe i will fall in love with one . i 'm okay , i 'm okay , i 'm okay . i 'm good . mm - hmm . rafe : all right . [ scene_break ] carrie : i 'm sorry that we put you through that . austin : no , but i -- but i understand now . i understand that it was to get stefano . when i think of what he did , when i think of how close you all got to dying -- carrie : i know . austin : carrie . carrie : i know , it was crazy . austin : but what i -- i do n't -- i do n't understand -- what i do n't understand is -- is -- is bo , hope , john , and marlena , they had to be in this safe house . and once -- once you helped your father get everyone settled , carrie , you knew how dangerous it was . why did you stay ? carrie : i know that i stayed at the safe house longer than i - i should 've , but i planned to leave . austin : i ca n't believe i was torturing myself . i was torturing myself thinking that the reason that you were staying here was because ... because of rafe . but none of that matters anymore . the only thing that matters is that you 're alive , and i - i - i do n't want you to explain anything to me , carrie , because i 'm just grateful -- i 'm just grateful to have you back . [ scene_break ] brady : there 's , uh -- there 's something i 've got to ask you . john : yeah ? what is it ? brady : when all this is done , when all this is over , will you be my best man at my wedding ? john : oh , kid , nothing would make me prouder . [ chuckling ] my boy 's getting married . brady : he is [ chuckling ] . [ scene_break ] marlena : i am so sorry we put you through this . will : it 's okay . it was hard to think i lost everybody , but especially you .

[ scene_break ] carrie : i 'm sorry that she said that . austin : no , no , no . no , no , no , it 's not your fault . carrie : i 'm -- i hope she did n't upset you . austin : no , look , i understand that it has n't been ... it has n't been exactly fun and games here . i get it . but listen , carrie , why do you have to stay here now ? maybe i could arrange it with roman -- maybe i could arrange it with roman to take you back to switzerland for a while . that way , we would disappear . carrie : well , we -- we -- we ca n't risk , you know , stefano finding out , and we -- this is how it has to be for now . austin : it 's gon na be hard to let you go again . carrie : i know . austin : okay . but you remember that i 'll be -- i 'll be waiting for you out there . carrie : oh , austin , i have to -- i have to tell you something , okay ? [ scene_break ] roman : carrie ? time for austin to leave . let 's go . austin : well , look -- roman : austin . austin : okay . we 're gon na have plenty of time to talk when you come back to me . i miss you , and i love you .

[ scene_break ] austin : what a day , huh ? sami : yeah , totally . hey , so , austin , have you , um , talked to carrie ? did you ask her why she was there ? austin : yeah . yeah , i did . she just said that she was there to help , and she was at the wrong place at the wrong time . sami : oh , come on , austin . you do n't really believe that , do you ? [ scene_break ] rafe : well , austin sure looked happy to see you . carrie : i hate this emotional rollercoaster that we 're putting them through . rafe : come on . it 's not your fault . carrie : yeah , it is . rafe : what ? carrie : i just -- i keep thinking about how awful it 's going to be when i break his heart . rafe : are you sure you still wan na do this ? carrie : maybe it is selfish of me to put a life with you ahead of what austin needs , but i need you , rafe , and austin 's such a good guy , he deserves someone who loves him completely . rafe : okay . carrie : i mean , he 'll find someone new , right ? just like we did . rafe : listen , i just do n't want you to have any regrets , okay ? marlena : shane and roman are on the way over . they wan na talk about the next step . rafe : sure . good .

[ scene_break ] bo : okay , now that stefano thinks we 're dead , we got to gather the evidence to put him away . carrie : we might just have enough evidence to do that . if we could get agent harmon to testify that stefano -- rafe : carrie , carrie . carrie , the guy 's a liar and a traitor . now stefano 's attorney 's gon na have a field day with that guy in court . shane : well , at least harmon now believes the i.s.a . 's in total disarray because of your deaths . hope : good . that will give stefano false confidence . marlena : shane , is there any evidence to connect stefano to the embezzlement of the basic black pension funds ? shane : we have an agent working on that right now , but so far , i 'm afraid there 's no hard evidence . roman : john , what 's wrong ? john : why did i ever think this was gon na work ? marlena : why do you say that ? john : it 's been two days , folks . two whole days , and what do we have to show for it ? nothing . hope : john , we 've got to be patient . john : patient ? i have been patient most of my life . you know , it does n't matter what kind of evidence we gather here , or what kind of a case we build . dimera will just pay off the judge or the jury , and he 'll walk free like he always does .

[ scene_break ] marlena : uh ... i think we should do this some other time . eric : mom , you just ca n't wait for -- marlena : i love you so much , and i appreciate your support so much , but i ca n't do this right now . eric : john , i got a question for you . john : sure . shoot . eric : what 's your problem ?

[ scene_break ] rafe : talk to me . damn it , i know that this is n't just about keeping sami away from the baby . nick 's obviously trying to hurt you . will , my sister needs to know the whole story . will : no , she does n't . rafe : okay , listen , i appreciate that you 're trying to protect her . i do . she loves you . you are her best friend in the whole world . you know that , right ? do n't you ? will : yeah . rafe : okay . will : i feel the same way about her , trust me . rafe : okay , well , then tell me . you do n't need to protect me . i 'm not fragile , okay ? just tell me the truth . will . will : okay , okay , um ... nick does n't want sonny or me in my baby 's life because we 're gay . rafe : son of a bitch . [ scene_break ] sami : give it to me . give me the phone . nick : sure . but it 's not really gon na do you any good , sami . i got a dozen more where this came from . i 'm a computer geek . i mean , do you think the only copy i 'd have of will 's confession would be on the flash drive that you stole from my room ? sami : i do n't know what you 're talking about . nick : right . you came in , you trashed my room , and then you thought you 'd get some extra leverage on me when you saw that cash . but if you do n't give it back , your trigger - happy son is the one that 's gon na go to prison , because i will take this confession , and i will go straight to the police when i walk away . sami : who says you 're walking away ? [ scene_break ] daniel : well , you know , i hope you 're happy that your brother 's home . yeah ? you must be . abigail : yeah , oh -- how did you know ? daniel : i just came back from your mom 's , and i got to meet him . abigail : how did that go ? daniel : it was fine . i mean , i did n't stay long . your mom wanted to kind of talk to him , so ... abigail : did she say what it was about ? daniel : uh ... no . no , she just seemed distracted . so i hope -- i hope everything is all right . abigail : yeah , me too . [ scene_break ] jennifer : i do believe you . and even if ... no , even though you did n't have anything to do with your roommate 's little business , you still lied to me . and when i was a teenager and i was hanging out with the wrong crowd , my grandparents made sure that i accepted the consequences for my actions . and you know what ? it worked . so you better expect the same treatment from me . jj : i would n't expect anything different . jennifer : okay . and at some point we really need to sit down and go over every detail of exactly what happened , and we 're gon na go to your headmaster . because to have this on your record that you were expelled -- it could affect your entire future . jj : i know . i know . but i ca n't tell you how good this feels , just having this over with and knowing that you understand . jennifer : i love you . i love you so much . [ scene_break ] john : what 's your problem , son ? eric : no , no , do n't -- do n't call me `` son . `` you know what my problem is . how can you treat my mother like this ? john : you know , i know it 's hard to see what your mother 's going through ... father . but this is between her and me . eric : nicole said she 's worried about what you might do at brady 's wedding . john : you know , here 's a piece of advice : i would take everything nicole says with a grain of salt . eric : and i might , i 'm just afraid she might be right . please restrain the urge to do something everybody will regret at the end . john : i would n't do any -- eric : i 'm sure you would . and it would n't be the first time , john . [ scene_break ] rafe : how do you know ? will : well , he basically told me that , um , he does n't want sonny or me in the baby 's life because we 're faggots . rafe : oh , my god . what the hell is wrong with him ? i mean , who the hell is he to judge you ? will : well , he was n't always like this , i mean ... i do n't know , something must have happened to him in prison . rafe : yeah . does gabi know about this ? will : nope . rafe : no . that just figures . marlena : wow . hello , men . will : oh , hi . marlena : hi . rafe : marlena , good to see you . and good talking to you , will . i better get going . will : okay , where are you going ? rafe : do n't worry about it . i 'll be in touch . marlena : is everything all right ? will : i 'm not sure . [ scene_break ] nick : go ahead . do it , sami . shoot me . shoot me . then you and your son can share a prison cell for the rest of your sorry lives , because i 've made sure that if anything happens to me , the whole world is gon na hear about his confession . do it . sami : you 're bluffing . nick : yeah ? you ready to take that chance ? i want my money now . sami : all right . all right . you take your money . but i swear to god , you keep that recording under lock and key . nick : just as long as everybody keeps their end of the bargain . and , sami ... you better shut your mouth about this cash . if you say anything to anyone , i swear to god i will destroy your son . do you understand me ? sami : i think we understand each other . nick : good . sami : nick fallon , you are so lucky that this was n't loaded .

[ scene_break ] eric : you know , it took me a long time to forgive you for what happened to my parents ' marriage . john : i understand that . eric : but in the end ... i knew you loved her . and i 'm always gon na think of you and brady as family . but i do n't think sami will be in the same place to say the same thing . john : yeah , well , i understand that too . you know what ? and i really regret all the pain that i 've caused you all . eric : just please , do n't -- do n't hurt our family again . whatever you 're trying to do to pull brady away from kristen , just -- john : oh , you do n't even know what the hell you 're talking about . eric : i know you should leave it in god 's hands . and if you do n't , i 'm afraid we 'll all live to regret it . [ scene_break ] kristen : so i took one of the proverbial walks down memory lane down there , and , um ... i guess the most significant thing i learned is that none of the junk down there could possibly reawaken the love that i felt for john . and maybe that hurt . and possibly the humiliation of it all , but no . i mean , i 've known in my head for a long time that i 'm over him , but i think i knew for sure in my heart today that i 'm over john . aww . brady : good for you . kristen : going through all that stuff , it actually made me , um , able to let go . say good - bye to john forever . brady : [ exhales ] kristen : and i know for sure that i 'm on the right path . you know , although the road getting to this day has been kinda hellish . brady : mm - hmm , yeah . kristen : i 'm this close to getting everything i wanted . brady : you feel like you have closure now . kristen : i do . you know what else i learned ? it 's a huge one . brady : what ? kristen : that even if life sometimes , you know , does n't give you necessarily what you want , in the long run , it 's for the best . brady : yeah . there are women who sacrifice so much .

kate : i did n't expect to see you for a few days . how was houston ? lucas : muggy . kate : so can i ask about sheryl ? lucas : can i stop you ? kate : she would n't speak to you ? lucas : oh , no , mom . she had plenty to say , thanks . kate : okay , look , i really am sorry , but , obviously , it was not meant to be or -- lucas : or she would have been great with you using her ? i do n't think that 's the way it works . and if this is your version of pretending to care , you can skip that too . kate : she was always a means to an end . lucas : yeah , for you , maybe . i hope it was worth it . kate : actually , it was . jordan 's leaving salem . rafe : so were you even gon na tell me that you were leaving ? jordan : is this from gabi ? because she misunderstood -- rafe : gabi did n't say a word . it was ben . he 's the one who told me you were leaving town . ben : can i ask you something ? abigail : yeah , sure . ben : this terrible thing you did before , was that about nick ? because i would n't feel bad about anything you supposedly did to that guy . abigail : you do n't know my cousin either , do you ? ben : i do n't have to . i watch . i pay attention . it 's not just me -- no one likes that guy . will : you were going to shoot nick , were n't you ?

i am , i just -- i 'm just -- you know , i ca n't help thinking about nick ... the fact that he 's gon na be dead . or maybe he already is or ... i do n't know , it 's just so ... ej : necessary . nick made it necessary . he did that . what ? sami : we 're no better than he is . lucas : did jordan find out that you used sheryl ? kate : no , but i do n't think that would drive her away anyway . lucas : but you found something that did . kate : we had a little discussion about her multiple identities . lucas : did you tell her you broke into her apartment ? kate : you know , i think that 's beside the point . lucas : not to you , maybe . not to the law . kate : or to joan cooper or whatever her name is . it 's not like she could go to the police , lucas . you know , and then she freaked out , and now she 's running away . does n't that say something to you ? lucas : yeah . tells me you 're every bit as scary as i thought . kate : [ sighs ] lucas : you think that rafe is just gon na thank you for this ? really ? kate : i 'm not looking for thanks , actually . lucas : what are you looking for ? you think he 's gon na come crawling back to you ? mom , if you think that , you 're pathetic , and you 're deluded . jordan : why would my brother tell you i was leaving ? rafe : exactly . because as you know , ben and i are n't the best of friends , so why is he the one being honest with me and not you ?

[ dramatic music ] claire : are you breaking up with me ? me wanting to be with haley . claire : really ? then what is it ? tripp : how am i supposed to ask you to wait for me when i 'm married to another woman and you 're not even supposed to be in the same room as me ? no , no , no , look , you -- you are talented and beautiful , and -- and lots of guys would be lucky to even be -- claire : oh , i - i do n't want any other guys , tripp . i just want you . listen , if -- if you -- if you care about me , at all , you will not do this to me . okay ? look , i - i do n't know how we 're gon na make this work . i just know that i can not lose you . tripp : will you just -- just think about it ? okay , you might change your mind . claire : no , i 'm not -- i 'm not going to . tripp : i have to -- i have to get to work . claire : no , just come here . tripp : claire . claire . look . claire : oh , it -- it 's fine , okay ? ice would n't dare bug pop - pop 's house .

[ suspenseful music ] - just like any other family kayla : the scan is used to measure the tumor very accurately . we had hoped that the initial dose of radiation would show a marked reduction in its size . will : okay . did you -- did you see what you wanted to see ? kayla : i 'm sorry , will , but the tumor is the same . will : huh . um ... okay , just -- i mean , can -- just give it to me again . let 's do it -- let 's just do it ... again . kayla : well , we might be able to give another dose , but i need to make a decision with rex and sarah , but i am going to take another look at your biopsy report . will : mm . kayla : you are family , will . and i am gon na know your case backwards and forwards by the end of the day , okay ? so do n't lose hope . sonny : yeah , and remember , it 's not malignant , okay ? you -- you do not have cancer . will : yes , that is true . but it is pressing on a part of my brain that makes me act very weird sometimes , and i do n't like that . sonny : well , i hate to break it to you , but you -- you -- kind of always act a little weird every now and then . it 's part of your charm .

[ scene_break ] brady : all right , i 've had it with this crap . i want you to spill it -- everything you know about philip kiriakis . go . now . sami : look , we did n't spend that much time together . but i do remember him saying how much he missed his wife and family . i mean , the guy talked nonstop about this gorgeous wife of his . uh ... belle . yeah . belle . and how much they loved each other and what a perfect relationship they had . oh ... and when this jerk ex - boyfriend of hers who apparently tried to stop the wedding by driving his motorcycle through a stained glass window . it was a pretty wild story , actually . but that was about it . i mean , the guy is just crazy in love with his wife , and he 's just so glad she is over the ex . i think he said if he ever catches the guy going near his wife again , he wo n't hesitate . he 'll kill him . brady : stop , shawn , shawn . did he talk about anything else except his wife ? sami : oh , man , i tell you , we were so dehydrated . it was tough to think , you know ? he did mention a brother of his -- uh , rex and -- and the guy 's girlfriend . rex : i 'm rex . what did philip have to say ? sami : oh . uh , nothing , man . i do n't even remember -- rex : like hell . what did he have to say ? sami : apparently , your girlfriend has been keeping some deep , dark secret from you . rex : no . you 're wrong . mimi and i do n't have any secrets . sami : well , he said it 's a secret that could end up destroying the love you guys share . or something like that . rex : damn you . you know something ! what do you know ? what do you know ? [ scene_break ] patrick : bo 's not the kind of guy to let a woman run his life , not even his wife . and even though you did n't make the greatest decision tonight , you 're a victim , too . you know , if hope and i had n't walked in when we did ... billie : we 'd be dead . which is exactly how hope would like me -- six feet under . that way , she could convince bo to stop searching for our daughter . patrick : nah , no way . you know , if i knew i had a kid out there , if i even thought it was a possibility , i 'd never give up looking for her . georgia is bo 's flesh and blood , just as much as zack , just as much as shawn . so you know what ? it does n't really matter what hope wants . you and bo have a bond that no one can break . ever . [ scene_break ] bo : no . hope , no . i did not want to be with bil -- this is -- it 's crazy . i 'd give anything if you had n't seen that , if it had n't have happened at all . hope , i love you . i ... i honestly thought i was with you . hope : i wish i had n't seen it , either . but i do n't think it was an accident . i think i was meant to see you being intimate with billie . bo : what do you mean ? hope : it was obviously part of dimera 's plan to break us up , just like all the georgia sightings and d.n.a . matches . bo : the d.n.a . is a match . it 's the first real clue we have that my daughter is alive . hope : for god 's sakes , just give me a break on this . you do n't think the dimeras ' scientists could mock up a d.n.a . sample ? bo : yeah ... hope , it 's possible . what if it is real ? hope : come on . what if ? you know what ? we have bigger problems -- more immediate ones , like the fact that our son is a couple oceans away , bo , and in danger of getting himself and four of his friends killed . bo : what the hell are you talk -- where is he now ? hope : where do you think ? he went to rescue philip . bo : no , hope . i talked to him . he promised me he would n't do that . hope : he lied . he lied to you , okay ? he lied to all of us , even belle . bo : oh , damn it . hope : yes , damn it . damn you for not being here to stop him like you promised you would be . he also took lucas , brady , and rex with him . you know , it 's no wonder he did n't listen to a word you said to him . he made you a promise that he had no intention of keeping , because he knew that 's exactly what his father would do . he ca n't resist playing hero any more than you can , brady . shawn 's not -- he 's not equipped to rescue philip any more than you were equipped to walk out of dimera 's trap tonight . if you had n't gone on another wild goose chase with billie , our son would be here -- safe . in salem . but now our son may lose his life . [ scene_break ] marlena : you were n't here when belle told me that i had formed her ideas of marriage as a sacred institution . i wanted the floor to open up and swallow me . roman : doc ... listen to me . you were an incredible role model for belle . marlena : i ca n't even listen to my daughter tell me that i inspired her to be celibate with shawn when she was married to philip , when i could n't do the same thing with her dad when i was separated from him . roman : for a long time , doc . months and months , we were chained together -- sleeping in the same damn bed . we did n't know what the hell was gon na happen to us from day to day . we could 've spent the rest of our natural lives shackled together in that little room . marlena : roman , i hear what you 're saying . it sounds like excuses to me . secrets have a way of coming out . and if they do n't , then they just eat you alive . we both know about that . look , if we tell them now , it 'll be over , and then ... well , we 'll just move on . we will . roman : doc , all i can say is i have given you every reason i can think of , and i think they 're good reasons . but if you feel that strongly about it , i 'll support you . marlena : really . roman : yeah . yeah , really . i repeat , i totally disagree , but ... have i ever said no to you ? marlena : i have never felt more grateful to you . [ scene_break ] belle : just let me talk before you start yelling at me , okay ? my dad wants me to make things right with you . and i think it would mean a lot to him if we could work out our differences . kate : you know , your father 's happiness means everything to me . but our biggest difference is the fact that you married my son and you did n't love him . and now not only is there a chance that he 'll be killed , but his two brothers may lose their lives , as well . belle : i never intended for anything like that to happen . kate : no . no , you just wanted to love shawn brady , and you did n't mind breaking your husband 's heart to do that . belle : i care about philip . i never meant to hurt him . ever . kate : you care ? you care about him ? belle , you promised him privately and in public at your wedding ceremony that you would love him and that you would be with him forever . belle : my feelings were confused . maybe the same way yours were when you were with my dad and still married to roman . kate : i was roman 's widow . i never cheated on him . i thought he was dead . and that 's the only reason that i felt i could move on with your father . but you know philip is alive , and you know he 's in combat , and you know he 's risking his life for his country and for you . and how devastated do you think he 's going to be when he finds out the whole time he 's been building his life around you , you have been planning on divorcing him ? i always knew that sami was selfish , but she 's nothing -- nothing compared to you . john : whoa , hey -- marlena : belle , what 's wrong , honey ? kate : she wants me to let her off the hook for her adultery with shawn . belle : i never slept with him ! kate : you wanted to ! and you will . the whole time that you were planning on doing what you wanted to do with shawn , you knew it was wrong , and you went ahead and you did it , anyway . and that -- that 's unforgivable . [ scene_break ] shawn - d : rex , get off ! brady : he is not worth it . rex : i need to know what else philip said . sami : i mean , the poor guy could hardly even talk . they would n't give him any water . if i knew anything else , i would tell you guys . it 's no skin off my butt . what do i care if your girlfriend is keeping secrets from you ? rex : she 's my fiancée . sami : again , i do n't even care . it 's not my business . look , if i thought any of this stuff was worth selling to a book , i 'd sell it myself , especially what he said about some guy named brady . brady : i 'm brady . sami : well , congratulations . brady : do n't be cute . what did philip say about me ? [ scene_break ] kate : you think just because you 're in love with shawn brady , that gives you some special right to destroy my son 's life ? marlena : that 's enough , kate . kate : you would be just as angry if it was your son ! marlena : brady is my stepson . and he 's john 's son . and we are worried sick about him . we 're worried about all these boys . but taking out your frustration on belle does n't bring them home any sooner , kate . she never meant to hurt anybody . that 's not who she is . kate : you need to take another look at your little girl . you 've been gone a long time , and believe me , she 's changed . marlena : you need to step back , kate . roman : wait a minute , whoa . tell you what , why do n't we get out of here ? kate : right , because no one wants to talk about this . no one wants to hear about this . no one wants to feel guilty . roman : kate , that 's not what we 're saying . belle : mom ... marlena : oh , honey . oh , honey , i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry , and i 'm so glad that i 'm home for you . belle : me too . i 'm sorry i ruined your reunion with dad . marlena : nope . nobody -- nobody could do that , sweetie . belle : still , i better go . i love you . marlena : belle ... belle ... honey , do n't go , do n't go . honey , please , please , please do n't go . come on . we have so much catching up to do . belle : i ca n't listen to kate call me a monster . marlena : you do n't have to . you must never let anybody speak to you like that . but remember this , too -- kate 's a mom . she is worried sick about her children . belle : she hates me . and she always will . roman : belle , belle . your bag . marlena : i love you , honey . bye . [ groans ] all righty . come on . kate : you must be so angry at me for laying into your daughter like that . but she 's no innocent child anymore , john . she 's done philip harm , and she 's not finished yet . she plans on breaking his heart if he lives , if she has the chance . you know i 'm no saint . i 've had my experience with infidelity , but at least i 'm not pretending to be some put - upon little peep - peep that ... kate : oh , god ... put yourself in philip 's -- philip 's place . how would you feel if you knew your wife was lusting after another man ? [ scene_break ] sami : who remembers what philip had to say , especially if it 's gon na get my butt kicked ? brady : philip is my uncle . if he said something about me , i 'd like to know about it . sami : i swear , you guys are a bunch of masochists . what he said had to do with a woman you both loved . brady : chloe . sami : yeah , that was her name . apparently , she was a real babe , and she could sing , right ? shawn - d : yeah , that 's right . sami : and philip said that she was his first love , but that brady -- that 's you -- you 're the only one that she ever really loved . but , uh , then she died . my condolences . anyway , uh , philip said that after she passed , you 've made one bad decision after another . brady : what the hell are you talking about ? sami : he lost respect for you when you started doing your grandfather 's widow nicole . brady : all right , you know what , i 've heard enough of this crap . philip would never tell you all this personal stuff . somebody sent you here . who ? you wan na tell me ? who are you , really ? lucas : is that who i think it is ?

[ scene_break ] taylor : you really think that you and i can be together ? and that nicole can be with brady , and still have sydney in her life , and we can all live happily ever after ? ej : yes , i do . so how is theo ? lexie : he 's fine . he 's gon na be fine . ej : lex , what 's wrong ? you seem upset . lexie : that 's because i am set , ej . what the hell is going on with you and taylor ? i mean , did you have to break her heart too ? [ scene_break ] taylor : you know , just with everything going on over there , i felt -- i felt like i was going insane . brady : i get it . the dimera household . i know , i 've been there . anybody who would have to live there 24/7 , the ins and thee outs , i mean ... would drive anybody nuts . taylor : [ grunts ] brady : but , hey , hey ... you 're out , right ? taylor : mm - hmm . brady : and you 're free .

[ scene_break ] ej : you spoke -- i mean , obviously you 've spoken to her . lexie : yeah , yeah , i spoke to her . she told me that you told her that you were going to divorce nicole so you could be with her . and then you did a complete 180 and ... you just informed her that you 're staying with nicole . ej : how is she doing ? lexie : how do you think she 's doing , ej ? i managed to talk her out of leaving town for the time being . she 's staying with abe and me . ej : okay , good . well , i 'm glad she 's not alone . lexie : she 's decimated ! ej : lexie , i never meant to hurt her . i never meant to hurt her . lexie : do n't give me that , ej ! ej : i 'm telling you . i love her . [ scene_break ] brady : listen , listen . if you need an ally against them , trust me , i 'm your guy . the dimeras and me , we go way back . taylor : yeah , that 's exactly why you should n't be involved . i should n't have been involved . i got ta go , you know . brady : all right . taylor : i 'm goin ' . hey . why could n't you have ended up with nicole ? taylor : no , i think we should celebrate the end of this little bad time by going out to a late supper . where would you like to go ? brady pub ? tour d'argent ? [ scene_break ] maggie : like paris ? mmm . you 're in a good mood . victor : well , have you ever had roast chicken the way they do it in paris ? there 's nothing like it . we can talk about our future . maggie : before you start warming up the jet ... i think there 's something we should clear up -- a little , small misunderstanding . victor : what 's that ? maggie : you said i threw out chloe , and i did n't . she decided to stand on her own two feet . she left voluntarily . victor : so you 're saying if she had n't made that decision , she 'd still be staying here with you ? that 's what brady implied . i just assumed that -- maggie : that i had seen the light . the light being your way of doing things . victor : i think you 're about to tell me that i was wrong . maggie : oh , i do n't blame you , you know . i was just hoping that you 'd change for me too . so i guess we both need to accept the fact that that 's never gon na happen . [ scene_break ] brady : okay , i know where this is going . do n't expect me to get on a white horse anytime soon to rescue nicole from ej , okay ? taylor : why not ? brady : why not ? because ... we do n't -- we do n't work . every time we 're together , we bring out the worst in one another . i 've made my peace with it , and i think nicole has too . [ scene_break ] nicole : do not feel sorry for yourself , nicole . remember what they say : do n't get mad ... get even . i am not gon na let you get away with this , taylor . not with brady . not my brady . you want a fight , little girl ? you got one . [ scene_break ] lexie : if you love taylor so much , why did n't you just go ahead and divorce nicole ? ej : [ sighs ] be -- because i just -- i -- i just could n't , all right ? i could n't . lexie : why not ? what are you , some kind of masochist ? ej ... why honey , don � t you want to be happy ? ej : oh , of course i want to be happy , lexie ! lexie : well , i -- you made promises to taylor , all right ? i mean , you told her you wanted to be together . ej : no . i told her ... that i did n't have a choice . and that was the truth . lexie : what do you mean you do n't have a choice ? you are ej dimera ! nicole has something on you , does n't she ? ohh ! is something big , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] victor : so if you ca n't change and i ca n't change ... what does that mean for us ? maggie : you know , there are a lot of things about you that i would n't change for the world . victor : let 's go with that for a while . maggie : i love the way you love your family , you know that ? [ giggles ] you , um ... you 're not gushy or sentimental . and you drive them crazy . [ sighs ] but i think , inside each one of your children and grandchildren , they have that secret knowledge that you 'd ... walk into a burning building for them , and i like that a lot . i also like the fact ... that you endowed a new children 's wing at the hospital . and you did it anonymously . victor : could n't be too anonymous , if you know about it . maggie : i have a lot of spies everywhere . and i like that when we got to know each other better , that you brought some fun in my life . and i needed some fun . victor : yes , you did . maggie : but knowing all those things about you ... it makes it all the more painful ... [ sighs ] the way you would turn hard and cold when you were dealing with someone ... that you decided was your enemy . like that poor , messed - up girl , chloe . heh , see ? there it is . it 's too hard , victor , to be with you . i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] taylor : hey , thanks for being such a good friend when i needed one . brady : it 's all right . you 're gon na be all right , yeah ? taylor : yeah . brady : okay . taylor : see you . brady : see you . [ scene_break ] nicole : hey . do n't go yet . have another drink . fact is ... you 're gon na need one . [ scene_break ] lexie : so ... what does nicole have on you ? no , do n't tell me , do n't tell me -- i do n't want to know . ej : no , actually , lexie ... you know , you come down here , you stick your nose in . i think the least that you can do is listen to my side . lexie : which is ... ej : do you really believe that i would deliberately break taylor 's heart ? lexie : let me put it this way ... i have a hard time picturing you love struck . because love means putting someone else 's good before your own and you just do n't think that way , ej . ej : no , that is exactly what i was going to do for taylor if nicole had n't intervened . lexie : oh , i see , so it 's all nicole 's fault . i mean , forget the fact that you married her so that you could have a live - in nanny and drive sami crazy at the same time , and then snuck around behind her back with her sister . that damn nicole . i mean , she 's got a hell of a nerve , does n't she ? ej : what , are you standing up for her now ? lexie : i 'm just saying that the way you live your life has come back to bite you . so , what -- what happened ? did nicole find out about you and taylor ? ej : no . nope , something much , much worse than that . what nicole knows could put father and me behind bars for the rest of our lives . lexie : oh , my god . well , what have you two done ? ej : lexie , the only thing you need to know is that ... if i did n't break it off with taylor , i would have lost my freedom , father would have lost his freedom . i would never have seen my children again . lexie : [ sighs ] ej : so maybe now you 'll believe me when i tell you that i truly did n't have a choice . lexie : so you and nicole hammered out some sort of a deal ? ej : ha ! hammered being the operative bloody word . if i do n't stay married to nicole , if anything unfortunate happens to her ... her lawyer has instructions to forward the evidence she collected to the relevant parties . lexie : wow . she wants to stay married to you that badly ? ej : what ? me ? oh , please . this has nothing to do with me . this is about the children . lexie : you are such an idiot , ej . ej : thank you , lexie . i think i needed to hear that . lexie : you married that pit - bull nicole , started romancing her sister on the side , and at the same time you were up to no good with father , and were so sloppy about it that nicole found out . i mean , how else would you describe yourself ? ej : arrogant . lexie : [ scoffs ] well ... ej : completely arrogant . i do n't know . lexie : of course , you ca n't tell taylor ... the real reason you 're staying with nicole , because that would blow this whole image that he has of you . ej : you have no idea , lie , how hard i was gon na try to be the man that i could see in her eyes . lexie : you 're right , i do n't . ej : well ... , you asked for an explanation . i gave you one . i did it because you care about taylor . so now i need you to promise me that you 're not going to repeat any of that to her . lexie : [ sighs ] ej : look , taylor , more than anything else in the world , i want there to be a day when you are happy to love me . and i want that day to come soon . [ next_on ] taylor : taylor , you 're stupid . you 're so stupid , and you got what you deserve . sami : he 's sorry ? that son a -- sorry ? ! brady : i know what 's going on here . maggie : so you 're saying that you 're afraid that you wo n't be able to change ? | at the dimera mansion , taylor thought she made a mistake going back to the mansion . ej stopped her because he ca n't let her go . she told him he already did . she said he pushed her away . she wanted him to take his hands off of her . he apologized . he told her the situation was out of control . she wanted to know what he was talking about , but he could n't tell her . she did n't believe a word that he said . she reminded him that he was supposed to leave nicole , but they 're back together . she thought he was being forced to stay with nicole . she asked if that was it , but he did n't answer her . she wanted to know what game he was playing . he wanted her to know that he would be with her if he could . he said he loved her . she was glad he said that and wanted him to promise he would never hurt nicole . he promised he would . at the pier , nicole told stefano that she was thankful that rafe did the right thing by leaving sami and leaving town . she thought things would go smoother with him gone . ej would n't have to worry about the kids with rafe . stefano said there was a chance that he could come back . nicole did n't think so . stefano learned over the years to never try and predict the future . he did think that rafe would n't come back . nicole talked about the changes in rafe since the accident . she told him how rafe hit on her . stefano thought sami would blame her for the breakup . nicole did n't care as long as sami kept her hands off of ej . the two continued to talk about ej and sami . when he left , she was surprised that ej did n't tell stefano about the blackmail . on the pier , brady told victor that chloe was moving out of maggie 's house . victor thought that was the best news . it dawned on victor that chloe did n't have any money so why would she leave . brady said she wanted to start her life over . brady got a call and stepped away . victor thought that maggie must have kicked her out and he knew why . |

nicole : because i know what it feels like to be treated like the forgotten child . no more room at the family table . and i know ouin is what makes you do t things you do . and i know tt use i 'm the same way . d maybe if i -- i say that to sonny and brady , they 'll listen to me . why do n't you let me try ?

deimos : i 'm using all my resources to track down holly and nicole . but i do have other responsibilities , sonny . i 'm not a full - time detective like your boyfriend . sonny : no matter who finds nicole , she 's gon na be dragged back here to face charges . she may lose holly to chloe . so do have any great plans for that ? deimos : you know , why do n't we deal with this one step at a time , shall we ? i 'll think about that after she 's recovered . sonny : oh , come on . you always think three steps ahead when you 're trying to get something you want . deimos : now , why does n't that sound like a compliment ? sonny : because you 're losing money for the company , and you do n't seem to give a damn that your own nephew may be dying right now . deimos : that 's a bunch of crap . sonny : and by your own admission , paul 's doing more to rescue the woman that you love than you are , so no , it was n't a compliment . deimos : you know what ? you are really testing my patience . sonny : well , i would love to stand around and debate this with you , but thanks to you , i have a meeting at basic black . probably gon na be talking about hemlines . deimos : [ sighs ] xander : i ca n't even step foot in salem anymore . nicole : you 're probably right . but the kiriakis empire is all over the world . they 'll place you somewhere . xander : not after i shot brady . nicole : i 'll just ... tell brady you hate what you did . you do , right ? xander : you would n't understand this , but i did n't have any choice . nicole : i 'll tell him that too . if he makes it through , i -- he just has to . i mean , not just for me , but -- but for the family and -- and the company . they need him so much . xander : wait , why ? is n't victor still running things ? nicole : no . victor put deimos in charge . victor does n't want to see that deimos ca n't be trusted . but brady sees it , and so do i. deimos is the reason i went on the run with holly . xander : why ? nicole : without me knowing , deimos tried to bribe the judge during my custody trial , and then chloe 's lawyer found out about it , and she moved the trial to a different judge , and then that judge awarded custody of my child to chloe because of what deimos did . my life , it ... it would be over without holly . and that did n't even occur to deimos . he just wants what he wants , and he does n't care what he has to do to get it or who gets hurt along the way . you see what i mean -- xander : just shut up ! shut your bloody mouth . nicole : i swear , xander , i was n't trying to make you angry . i ... i - i thought we were sort of communicating . xander : you were working me , and you know it . and i was falling for it , 'cause you 're so good at playing men , are n't you ? nicole : no , i was n't doing that . xander : oh , come on . we both know deimos could be the devil himself , and the kiriakis family are never gon na accept me . i 'm on my own . i look out for myself . nicole : i 'm sorry you were treated that way , xander . i really am . but ... you promised that i could see holly when she wakes up , and i wo n't let her bother you , okay ? i 'll take her down to the beach -- xander : you just want to make a run for it . nicole : no , i wo n't do that . it 's too dangerous for holly . i wo n't . xander : how am i supposed to trust you ? you 're just as big a liar as deimos apparently is . i 've had enough of this . i 'm going into town . do n't do anything stupid while i 'm gone . you ca n't sweet - talk these guys . they 're mercenaries , and they are everywhere . nicole : when will you let me see holly ? when ? ahh ! [ sobs ] paul : wish my dad were here to be a part of this . sonny : i know you 're worried about him . you know , if you need time to ... paul : marlena said that she met with the head of the isa . i 'm just gon na wait to hear what she has to say about that . sonny : okay . paul : and ... yeah , i want you to know that , you know , deimos is n't gon na make a move that steve does n't know about . sonny : that 's great . paul : yeah . sonny : paul , i 'm really glad that you and i are going through this together . maggie : oh , um , sorry for interrupting , paul . sonny : no , no , you 're not interrupting at all . did you tell uncle vic about brady ? maggie : yes . he 's upset . i mean , actually , i 'm -- i 'm glad he 's gon na be taking over the running of titan if deimos goes out of town . i mean , maybe it will get his mind on something else . sonny : oh , deimos is going out of town ? when did you find that out ? maggie : um , this morning . sonny : oh . maggie : um , he did n't want me to tell victor . sonny : yeah , i bet -- i bet he did n't , yeah . maggie : well , he 's -- he 's worried . he 's worried about brady , and -- and i had to tell him , though , and i -- i have to get back to him . i 've got to get my -- my book and glasses here . thanks . sonny : hey , maggie , did you happen to find out , like , where deimos is going ? maggie : no . no , all i know , it was about a phone call that he got this morning , one that did n't make him very happy . so please keep me posted about brady . sonny : i will . i promise . maggie : okay . paul . paul : hey , take care . sonny : see you later . i saw deimos after he talked to maggie . he never mentioned he was going out of town . paul : yeah , and then he said he did n't want victor to know about it either . wh -- wh -- who are you calling ? sonny : i want to find out if he booked the titan jet . paul : look , could you just do me a favor and wait until i 've spoken to steve ? we do n't want to tip off deimos . sonny : okay , all right , well , i got to get going , because i have to pick up a gift for ari to bring to that birthday party . paul : oh , you are a great dad . sonny : well , it keeps me sane , so -- and i have my phone on me , so if you or steve find out anything -- paul : the minute steve finds anything out , we 'll know , and then we will call you , okay ? sonny : okay . valerie : yeah , i 've been going over in my mind all the ways i 've failed you . eli : you did n't fail me . valerie : i did n't have to be a surgeon . i could have chosen a specialty with less demands on my time and temperament . eli : mom , look , you did everything you could for me . i mean , you woke up early every morning to make my lunch , cook me breakfast . you made sure every birthday was a big deal , and you came to all my soccer games , even though i was n't that good . valerie : [ laughs ] eli : look , i ... i know how hard it was for you to raise me . valerie : you are the best thing that ever happened to me , eli . and i 'm so proud of you . eli : my dad , my real dad could have been at those games . valerie : i understand what you 're saying . i really do . but it is my sincere belief that david would n't have been that kind of dad . he did n't have it to give , eli . he was a very troubled man . and he walked out on me . he turned his back on his mother , a mother like julie . and he turned his back on his son scottie . i could n't -- i would n't stand for him to do something like that to you , my baby . so i made a decision . so where do we go from here ? can we work through this ? or is what i did just too hard for you to forgive ? eli : i ca n't answer that yet . i need more time . i 'm not trying to punish you . valerie : ohh ... eli : i just -- i thought you were pretty much perfect . valerie : oh . well , now you know i 'm not . i 'm just a mom . i appreciate your honesty . paul : hey , what did you get for the birthday ? sonny : ah , a toy oven , little cake pans and muffin tins . paul : kind of playing into gender roles , are n't you ? sonny : eh , the kid 's a little dude . it 's what he wanted . paul : oh , excellent . maybe he 'll be the next wolfgang puck . sonny : maybe . hey , did that text mean that you found something out ? paul : oh , the airfield says that nobody 's requested the titan jet . sonny : really ? paul : yeah . sonny : so deimos changed his mind ? [ phone rings ] paul : hey , steve . what 's up ? deimos is on board . are you sure ? good . [ phone beeps ] sonny : what 'd he say ? paul : steve tailed deimos to an airfield an hour away . he 's sitting on a chartered jet waiting for takeoff . sonny : does steve know where he 's headed ? paul : well , the pilot filed a flight plan for athens airport . sonny : greece . remember the intercepted emails ? this is all starting to come together . eric : can you get the plane refueled and ready on a short notice ? roy : yeah . eric : all right , get whatever you need , whatever a four - month - old needs . it 's gon na be a long flight . roy : oh , i 'm a dad . i think i know what to do . any idea how long you 'll be ? eric : it 's hard to guesstimate . i have no idea what i 'm walking into . [ suspenseful music ] nicole : hi . xander 's gone , and i do n't really have anything to do , and i 'm trying to keep myself from going crazy , and i saw some -- some books in english on a really high shelf in the other room , and i was wondering if maybe -- forget it . nicole : oh , brady . i hope you 're okay . i 'm gon na get out of here . i 'm gon na take holly with me . i do n't know how , but i 'm just gon na do it . oh , please . please be waiting for me . [ elevator dings ] valerie : hey . what are you doing here ? abe : oh , well , i was checking on brady . are you speaking to me ? valerie : of course i am . abe : did you and eli make any progress ? valerie : a little . he calmed down enough to listen to what i had to say . abe : good , good . valerie : yeah , you know , he 's not forgiven me yet , but at least i know he still loves me . abe : did you seriously doubt his love for you ? valerie : i lied to him about who is father was his whole life . yeah , i doubted it . abe : but now you do n't ? valerie : no , thanks to you and gabi . thank you for caring about me that much . abe : ahh . valerie : [ chuckles ] abe : [ chuckles ] gabi : hey . can we at least talk about this ? eli : i guess . gabi : look , when i was little , my dad left . and my mom was destroyed . but she did whatever it took to -- to help my brothers and my sister and me , but , eli , when i was in high school , my mom , she went back to mexico to take care of my aunt . and she did n't come back for years . eli : why ? gabi : because she just could n't face it here , okay , and of course i still remember what that feels like . i could n't just stand back and watch you push away the only person that loves you , somebody that 's fighting for ... okay . okay , what was that for ? eli : for caring enough about me to risk making me really mad at you . gabi : [ sighs ] are you ? eli : no . but i 'm not just gon na get over my mom lying to me . gabi : i understand . eli : but i can see that she 's -- she 's really hurting and she loves me . so you and i , we 're good . gabi : good ? good - good ? eli : yeah . sonny : hey . gabi : oh . sonny : i got the present for arianna 's ... gabi : the gift . sonny : yeah . gabi : thank you . you are a lifesaver . yeah , the party started already . it 's across the street in the park , so i 'm just gon na go -- i gon na go give her the gift , and i owe you big - time . thank you . sonny : absolutely . all right , we need to talk real fast before she gets back . maggie said she heard deimos on the phone this morning , and he was very upset . eli : did he say what the call was about ? sonny : he claimed it was business . and now he 's on a jet to greece . paul : yeah , and the only reason that he would leave town now is if he knew where xander took nicole . eli : no , you do n't know that for sure . sonny : the last time he took off , he went straight to where nicole was . i do n't know how he gets his information , but he 's definitely on to something . paul : do n't you think now would be a good time for the fbi to get involved ? eli : well , is there any chance that deimos can persuade xander to turn nicole over to him ? sonny : i mean , even if he manages to do that , he wo n't bring her back here . eli : how do you know that ? sonny : well , a , she 's facing kidnapping charges here , and b , the minute she got off the plane , she would tell deimos to get lost and run right into brady 's arms . if deimos gets to nicole before we do , no one in this town will ever see nicole or holly again . eli : i 'm on your side . you know that . but i ca n't go to my boss and ask him to open up an investigation just because you have a grudge against deimos . sonny : no , that 's not what i 'm saying . you 're not listening . eli : i am listening . but you 're speculating about why deimos is on that plane , all right ? i need something that 's concrete . paul : hey , he chartered a private jet instead of using the one titan industry owns . now , why would he do that if this was a business trip ? eli : paul , there could be all types of reasons . sonny : he is obsessed with nicole . he has to have her . the cops could not find nicole or brady . but somehow deimos found out where she was . he showed up to canada just as brady was shot and nicole and holly were kidnapped . now no one knows where xander is , no one , and all of a sudden , deimos takes a plane to greece . deimos is greek . xander is greek . come on , man , connect the dots . eli : so you 're saying he 's in on it . sonny : what i 'm saying is , i want the fbi to catch him in the act of rescuing her before he kidnaps her . this way , we can put that bastard away forever . gabi : you guys talking about deimos ? what did he do now ? needles . marlena : val . valerie : yeah ? hey . marlena : any change ... he 's worse , is n't he ? valerie : listen , i 'm doing everything i can to make sure that he 's better . but just to be on the safe side , i 've put him on the list for another donor heart . marlena : oh , my god . i have n't been able to reach john . if anything happens to brady while he 's gone -- valerie : hey , listen , listen , do n't go there , not yet . we 're still working on it . paul : well ... well ... gabi : will someone say something ? sonny : yeah , i -- eli : okay , guys , look , if i 'm gon na open an official investigation , i think we need to keep this conversation confidential . gabi : even with me ? eli : even with you . gabi : all right . i wo n't say anything , 'cause you 're cute . but after everything that man has done to me and my family , i would love to see him behind bars . nicole : come on , nicole . you 've been in worse situations than this , and you 've figured it out . so the helpless act did n't work . what next ? got to be 100 degrees out there . okay , girl , you 're on . hey , listen , i 'm sorry i bothered you before , but ...

[ both laugh ] yes , i know . i know . patience is definitely not my , um , my best event . but i do want to prove that i can be a better person . because i love you . and i 'm sorry , okay ? i did n't mean to be so horrible . tripp : no , no , no . it 's me that was horrible . i put you through so much , and i 'm so , so sorry , claire . claire : come here . melinda : what the hell are you doing ? jack : jennifer . i ... i thought that you were in paris with abigail . jennifer : yeah , i was . but now i 'm back . jack : why ? jennifer : because of you . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] jack : i 'm glad that you came back home . i 'm glad because we may not be husband and wife anymore , but we need to find a way to coexist . i mean , we have children , we have grandchildren . least we could do is try to get along , maybe even be friends . jennifer : okay , you misunderstood me because when i said i came back because of you , what i meant was i came back because i had to cast my vote against you . eve : so this is proof of everything jack and i have been saying all along that haley 's marriage is a sham . haley : no , no . you 're wrong . it 's not true . eve : oh , really ? well , i think we all just heard tripp admit it here . jj : eve , where 'd you get that recording ? melinda : you are in public . are you insane ? if anyone else had a caught you just now , my sister could be deported . claire : chill out . there 's no one else here . tripp : and haley knows that we still care about each other , but trust me . like , we 've been very careful . melinda : then why were you caught on video ? tripp : wait , what video ? abe : spoke to brandon . and needless to say , he 's thrilled his sister 's alive . nicole : i think i 'm better off dead . abe : oh . do n't say that . nicole : abe . holly was my everything . abe : sweetheart . do you know how many people love you ? how many of us are standing by to help you through this . come on , come on . come inside and i 'll tell you all about it , huh ? let me know if you need anything else . [ tense music ] [ door opens ] maggie : oh . nicole : maggie -- maggie : it 's okay , sweetheart . it 's okay . abe : i 'll give you two some privacy . maggie : thank you . [ sobs ] you know how much i loved holly . nicole : of course . maggie : and you know that i 'm here for you , whatever you want and ever you need . i 'm sure that at a time like this though , you want to lean on eric . nicole : actually , maggie , eric is the last person i want to comfort me . what happened to holly is his fault . eric : the reason why i stopped by -- just want to see if anybody had heard from nicole . brady : i haven't . what do you mean she walked out on you ? eric : she blames me . she thinks that i 'm the reason her daughter 's dead . brady : [ sighs ] no , eric , she 's in shock . she just lost her only child . she 's grieving . you know when people are grieving they say things out sadness and anger . does n't mean they 're true . eric : they are true , brady ! nobody understands that better than you . nicole : i ca n't understand why eric did n't protect holly . he should have done everything in his power to save her . maggie : nicole , listen -- nicole : no , maggie , i need you to understand something . when i thought i was gon na die , when i handed my daughter over because i thought i was never gon na see her again , one thing that i held on to was that eric was gon na raise her and keep her safe . he swore to me , but he didn't . maggie : yes , but he had full intentions of honoring your wish . see , in the end , he felt that it was best for holly if she be raised with parker . and so that 's why he agreed to let chloe have custody of her . nicole : but when he knew about the threat from the cartel , he should 've done everything he could to get holly out of the dimera mansion . why did he let her stay there ? how -- i mean , how could you all not be out of your mind with fear ? what -- why did n't somebody do something ! ? maggie : well , actually someone did . nicole : who ? maggie : brady . eric : you know , you asked me over and over and over again to get chloe and those kids out of stefan 's house and i did nothing . brady : why do you think holly was with chloe in the first place , hm ? that 's on me , eric . i put that whole thing in motion . if i had n't blackmailed nicole and forced her to leave town out of jealousy , chloe would have never had holly in the first place . no , you and nicole would have had holly , raising her ... eric : brady , we have been over this already . brady : that 's what it would have been . eric : you would have done whatever it took to keep holly safe . brady : i was -- i was also being selfish , okay ? i wanted another shot at chloe . i wanted her the hell away from stefan , so i reached into my bag of tricks , and instead of controlling myself , i used lies [ clapping ] and manipulation and threats . and i 'm not proud of it . you hear me ? tripp : what are you talking about ? melinda : a video of the two of you taken shortly before you married haley . you were both in bed at the salem inn talking about how your marriage was gon na be a total sham . tripp : no , no , no , that 's impossible . melinda : i saw the video with my own eyes . tripp : camera ? how ? why ? melinda : i assumed it was set up by someone with a vested interest . eve : okay , well , come over here and let me show you how this camera works . here 's the camera right there . you 're gon na push that button to start recording , and then as soon as tripp tells you that he 's marrying haley just to fool immigration , then you 'll push `` stop `` and it 'll go straight to my camera -- my phone . claire : okay , okay , i got it . get out of here ! go ! eve : okay , all right . got it . purse . all right , good luck . tripp : okay , so who was it ? who made the video ? jack : you really came all the way back from europe just to vote against me ? jennifer : i came back to cast my vote for abe . jack : contrary to popular belief , abe carver is no saint . jennifer : none of us is , jack . and i understand that politics is a dirty business , but you really crossed the line when you used those photos to smear abe at the final debate . jack : i needed to expose him for the man he really is . jennifer : no , what you needed was a bump in the polls , but do n't you underestimate these voters because they saw right through your stunt , jack . jack : it was not a stunt . it was proof . it was proof that abe is a hypocrite with no integrity . the only reason voters are turning against me is because jj brought up the -- my history with kayla . but that was so long ago . you know i act -- i went to kayla . i went to her and i asked her to please put out a statement . just put out a statement . jennifer : what ? and say what ? that you did n't rape her , jack ? jack : no , of course not . i asked her simply to tell the truth -- that she forgave me and she refused , so i do n't know , so it 's one -- jennifer : this is amazing that you are now angry with the woman that you sexually assaulted because she could n't save your campaign ? that is victim blaming . jack : no , of course not . you know it 's not that . jennifer : yes , it is . jack : it 's not that at all . jennifer : it 's exactly what it is . jack : i ... i asked her to please help me . when she reminded me of what i did , what happened , she told me that she had gotten past it , that she forgave me , and you forgave me too . you forgave me . you said that i paid my debt to society , i had got to therapy , i worked . you know , i was even able to help you when i found out that you were raped . and now , honestly , can you tell me -- can you tell me honestly that i should n't be mayor because -- because of this -- jennifer : i can tell you so many reasons why you should n't be mayor , and at the top of the list is your wife . eve : you had to know we were keeping tabs on you . i mean , jack 's whole campaign is built on immigration issue . jj : tell me about the recording . eve : well , it was made right before the wedding . we were just waiting for the perfect opportunity to catch you or your `` husband , `` you know , proving what we already knew . and , of course , tripp just gave it to us . haley : please . please , you ca n't release that recording . i 'll be deported and tripp will be arrested . eve : easy now , all right ? there 's no reason for us to go public with it . jj : why not ? eve : well , because haley here is gon na tell everyone the truth herself . is going to happen . you 're gon na come forward . you 're gon na admit that you seduced tripp for the sole purpose of getting your green card . of course , yeah , you will get in a whole lot of trouble for that , but tripp won't . and i know that you 'll wan na protect him since he did so much to help you . jj : since when do you care what happens to tripp ? eve : dang , you gon na give me a hard time 'cause i 'm trying to keep your cousin out of jail , jj ? jj : you do n't give a damn about him , so there 's got to be some other reason you wan na keep him out of this . i wan na know what it is . melinda : i assume jack and eve made the video . they 've been gunning for haley from the start , thinking their `` tough `` stance on immigration would bring in votes . tripp : yeah , but if they had that video to begin with , then why did n't they just go public with it right away ? melinda : oh , they tried to . you remember that big campaign rally they held a few weeks ago ? they had a huge crowd assembled in the square , waiting for some big announcement . that 's when they were planning to play the video . claire : right , but it malfunctioned and nothing came up on the screen . melinda : and so they switched gears on the fly and made it an `` all - american `` wedding instead . tripp : yeah , i still do n't get it though . like , if -- if jack and eve did this , how would they even know to plant the camera ? claire : okay , well , they do live at the salem inn , so maybe they caught wind of the fact that we booked a room there ? tripp : yeah , no , we were so careful . melinda : not careful enough . i mean , luckily , i found out about it . tripp : how ? melinda : well , i knew how viciously jack and eve were going after my little sister . when they said they had a big announcement coming up , i got nervous . i broke into their room , found the video , and i erased it . tripp : wow . i never thought you 'd go that far to protect haley . you told her that she was on her own . melinda : she 's my family . i had to do something . i know from personal experience that jack and eve will stop at nothing to win this election . jack : so you think the reason i should n't be mayor is because you hate my wife ? i mean , talk about vindictive . jennifer : no , i just think that eve is one of the many reasons why i do n't think you should be mayor , jack . abe : excuse me . i just wanted to thank jennifer for her support . jennifer : it 's totally my pleasure , abe . abe : as i 'm sure you 're well aware , i 'm still in the race , jack . even though you and eve have thrown everything , every trick in the book at me . jack : well , not every trick , abe . and i would n't count me out just yet either . eric : nicole 's dying wish was for me to take care of her daughter . i promised that i would do that , and i didn't . i did n't even have the courage to fight for custody . eric : you were going to . but in the end , you realized that a long , ugly court battle , that was n't gon na be good for holly . you did the right thing there . eric : did i ? brady : yeah . eric : or was i a coward ? did i pay for what i did to daniel ? is that why i decided to give holly over to chloe ? and now that sweet , innocent ... she 's gone . and now i 've lost nicole too , so maybe i am the only one to blame . nicole : brady was the one who spoke up ? maggie : yes . in the beginning , he was adamant that chloe and the kids not move in with stefan . and he -- he wanted me to convince chloe that they would be safer at our house , and he was livid when i would n't do it . nicole : i 'm just so stunned that brady was the voice of reason . maggie : yeah . nicole : 'cause everyone let me down , maggie , especially eric . [ coughing ] i mean , can you explain to me what -- [ coughs ] just tell me -- i 'm sorry , do you mind ? maggie . this is vodka . eve : we 're not going to turn tripp in because tripp is jack 's nephew . jj : please . the first time my dad met tripp , he played him . and since then , the campaign has been attacking him nonstop . in this narrative of yours , that 's tripp in the recording , incriminating himself . eve : well , and claire . you know , this recording implicates claire as well . i mean , do you really want to take her down , jj ? i mean , i 'm sure you do n't , haley . claire 's been nothing but supportive . haley : no . no , of course i do n't want to hurt claire or tripp . they 've done so much for me . eve : well , then you need to come clean immediately . haley : but if i do , i 'll be -- i 'll be deported . jj : what is this for ? more votes ? it 's too late for that . it 's election day . my dad is going to lose . you 'd be doing this for no reason . eve : well , the polls do n't close until 9 : 00 p.m . there is still time to turn this around after the damage you did by dredging up jack 's past with kayla . so here 's what i 'm gon na do . i 'm gon na call a press conference . i expect you to be in the square shortly . otherwise , i will release this recording , and we 'll let the chips fall where they may . [ soft dramatic music ] brady : you did n't lose nicole . you just got her back . eric : she wants nothing to do with me . brady : eric , she 's just angry . she 's angry . she 's hurt . she knows that you loved holly . she knows that you would have done anything for her , including fight for her in court . i can attest to that . so can maggie . i think you need to talk to her some more . eric : i tried . brady : and what did she do ? she lashed out at you , right ? she probably said some really , really harsh things . you know why she said those things to you ? 'cause she could . you 're closer to her than anyone in the world . you are the one guy that she knew that she could express herself to . all that grief and all that anger because she knew that you would never abandon her or judge her . all you would do is keep loving her . no matter what . and that 's the truth . nicole : maggie . are you drinking again ? maggie : no . [ sobs ] i 'm just so upset about holly that in a moment of weakness i ordered -- ordered it . i wish i could say for sure that i would n't have taken a sip . it 's so hard . nicole : i know . maggie : [ weeping ] nicole : should you go to a meeting ? maggie : mm - mm . no . i want to go home . nicole : okay . let me take you . maggie : [ sobbing ] it 's amazing with all that you 're going through ... you are the one to comfort me . nicole : yeah . it 's okay . maggie : thank you . nicole : it 's okay . abe : whatever you may have up your sleeve , it may be too little too late . besides , every other stunt you pulled has blown up in your face . jennifer : hmm , so true . eve : oh ! i thought you left the country . i guess it was too much to hope for a permanent relocation . hm . jack , can i talk to you in private , please ? thank you . abe : should i be worried ? jennifer : abe , i know that the voters are smart enough to see them for the shameless opportunists that they are . but with the two of them , i do n't know . i think you should always be worried . haley : jj . the clock is ticking . i need to make a decision . jj : do n't do it . haley . do n't let them win . so there you are with your depression haley : what are you saying ? you think i should blow off eve ? jj : no , i think that you should let this play out . haley : and let her go public with that recording ? jj , my life is about to blow up and i ca n't let tripp or claire be collateral damage , especially -- especially after what they 've done for me . so i 'm gon na have to do whatever it takes to protect them . jj : if you do , you 'll be deported . look , i do n't want that to happen . haley : i know . i know , me either , jj , but i do n't have a choice . jj : haley . really think about this . before you do something you might regret the rest of your life . tripp : what is all of this ? [ footsteps approaching ] abe : i 'm already in a fight . i do n't want to have another . melinda : neither do i. i actually came over to thank you . we were fierce competitors in the mayor 's race , but that never stopped you from speaking out in support of my sister . and i truly appreciate that . abe : well , i meant what i said . she deserves to live in peace . melinda : i do n't know if voters even care what i think anymore , but for what it 's worth , i have thrown my full weight behind you . [ both muttering ] jack : [ clears throat ] h - hello . hello , everybody . hello , may i have your attention please ? it 's all very exciting , is n't it ? election day is finally here !

[ tense music ] brady : i 'm sorry about holly . nicole : thank you . eric : i 've been worried too . you did n't come back home last night . nicole : i went to the salem inn . i needed to be alone . i just spoke to maggie . and she told me that you are the only person -- the only person who fought hard to protect holly , and i just wanted to come here and thank you . it means so much to me that someone had the good sense to look after my daughter . seems like you were alone in your efforts . eric : we all loved holly . we all tried to keep her safe , especially eric . nicole : no , it was n't enough ! it was n't enough . eric : listen , i know you 're hurting . so am i. i came here looking for you , so please , if we can just go some place quiet so we can talk . nicole : i 'm not going anywhere with you . eric : nicole , i 'm begging you . if i ever met anything to you at all , please . [ camera shutter clicks ] tripp : hey , do you know what 's going on here ? haley : today is election day . a chance for everyone to make their voice heard . but before you vote , you should all have the facts . i came to this country from china when i was 13 years old . i did n't speak the language , had no friends , hardly any family . but despite all the obstacles i had to overcome , i had this feeling inside me . this strange mix of excitement and optimism , which i now realize was hope . because everywhere i looked , there was opportunity . a chance to grow , to learn , to connect . and when i was scared or unsure there were people -- kind , generous people willing to help me . i went to school here . got my nursing degree , and found work that is meaningful and fulfilling in ways i never could 've imagined . i love this country . and i love salem . it 's my home . and words can not express how grateful i am for what so many wonderful people here have done for me . through my profession , i 'd hoped that in some small way , i could give back to the community that has welcomed me with opened arms . most of you have been forgiving of my mistakes . most of you still accept me . but not everyone . as you know , for some time now , jack deveraux has been insisting that my marriage to tripp dalton is fake . that i broke the law to stay in this country . and the truth is , he 's right . [ crowd muttering ] eve : [ inaudible ] [ dramatic music ] eric : i know your heart is broken . seeing the disappointment in your eyes . i know you hate me . i hate myself , and i 'm not asking you for forgiveness or to stop hating me . i 'm just asking you to talk to me . nicole : no . eric : please do n't shut me out , not now . just tell me what you need , what you want . nicole : the only thing i need from you right now , eric , is for you to leave . now ! [ solemn music ] [ indistinct chatter ] haley : this charade has taken a terrible toll on everyone i care about . and that has to end now . it 's time for me to be honest with each and every one of you and admit that my marriage is a fraud . but let me be clear . my husband , tripp dalton , is completely innocent . i lied to him . i used him . and convinced him that my feelings for him were real . tripp is the victim here . he had no idea that i only pretended to love him so i would n't get deported . i did this out of desperation because , as i 've already told you , i love this country so much . but tripp is a wonderful , amazing person who deserves much better than me , and i ca n't allow him or anyone else to suffer because of my actions . i ca n't continue to let anyone else pay the price when i 'm the one who deserves to be punished . the person -- the only person here to blame for everything that 's happened is me . and i 'm ready to face the consequences . [ indistinct chatter ] [ soft dramatic music ] brady : nicole , eric showed up here , out of his mind with worry . all he wants to do is be here for you . you need each other right now . the man is devastated right now . nicole : i do n't care how devastated he is , and do n't you dare defend him . brady : you just need to know -- nicole : no ! i said no ! no ! i do n't want to listen . i do n't want to listen to anybody . my daughter is dead , and you are the only one who fought for her , the only one ! brady : i know . it 's okay . it 's all right . nicole : [ exhales deeply ] xander : pardon the interruption ... but would you mind taking your hands off my wife ?

[ scene_break ] daniel : it 's just -- it 's just so out of character 'cause she is not a vindictive person , so for her to be saying the things she 's been saying , it just makes no sense . i do n't know what to do . i want to believe her . i want to trust her unconditionally . you know , and i would take her word over a stranger any day . anyone usually . i would just take her word for it . only i ca n't confirm any part of her story . so i got to at least consider the ...

[ dramatic musical flourish ] victor : you know what i do n't understand is anyone who is as smart and talented and beautiful as you can be jealous . claire : i 'm not jealous ! victor : you know , you have many special qualities that make you very unique , just like ciara does . in fact , you remind me a great deal of myself . claire : never knew you thought that . victor : does n't mean that i love ciara any less . but you have a ... a directness , a drive that will take you far , whereas ciara -- claire : oh , oh , she does n't need an edge , because she 's already perfect . you know , on top of being drop - dead gorgeous and a total brain trust , she 's like this really amazing person who cares about everyone . and other people , they see how amazing she is , and they ca n't stop being in total awe of her . you know , people think i 'm fun to hang out with and everything , but ...

'kay . so ... i 've been following the investments that my trust fund covers , and i found this amazing opportunity . victor : i 'm listening . ciara : it 's a water filtering process that does n't exist in the poorer regions of central and south america . but if we can find a way to market it globally , then we 'll have a huge return on the investment ... and millions of people will have clean drinking water . victor : and what is it you want me to do ? ciara : maybe just talk to your financial people ... see if you can get my trust fund altered so i can invest in it . claire : oh , god , do you see what i mean ?

[ light music ] hope : agreed . agreed . chad : well , i do n't need either one of you to help me from anything . andré : on the contrary . when harold ... informed me of your abrupt decision to come here ... and the reason why none of the staff were willing to accompany you , i decided it was necessary for me to come here as your big brother to alert you of the danger involved should you decide to go through with this mission . chad : this is ridiculous ! hope : wait a second . i do n't know the specifics . fill me in here . chad : you do n't need to know anything -- that 's none of your business . andré : chad ... you 're playing with danger ! just let this transaction go . come back with us to salem ... before something horrible happens . eric : for brady 's sake and your baby 's ... you need to put a pin in your anger , and we need to leave before xander even comes . [ door opens ] xander : hey , there . hey ... how 'd you get the baby back ?

[ ciara chuckles ] victor : jealousy is a complete and utter waste of time ! ciara : easy for you to say , when you 're victor kiriakis . no , it 's easy to say because i 'm old . and i learned a long time ago to covet what you do n't have is pointless and destructive . [ soft music ] ciara : well ... yeah . i know that , it 's just , it -- it seems like there are exceptions . victor : there are n't . ciara : well , it 's nice to be reminded . victor : good . i 'm glad you 're open and willing to listen . ciara : [ chuckles ] well , it is a lot easier not to be jealous now that i have my own awesome boyfriend . victor : oh ? i did n't know that . ciara : mm - hmm . victor : and who is this lucky young man ? ciara : his name 's wyatt . victor : just wyatt ? no last name ? ciara : if i tell you his last name , you 're gon na have your private eyes checking him out . victor : and that would be a bad thing ... ? ciara : [ laughs ] you 'll meet him . i just -- i want him to be more comfortable around me so he 's not intimidated by you . victor : well , a little bit of intimidation is a good thing . ciara : still ... i just -- i wan na be more solid in our relationship . like claire and theo . theo : claire ! claire : oh , my god ! ah ! thank god i ran into you . theo : yeah , literally . claire : i 'm literally having the worst day ever . theo : yeah , you and me both . claire : you ? why ? theo : i 'm just bummed . claire : bummed ? about what ? theo : ciara and wyatt . claire : you 're not a fan ? theo : no . he 's into her for her money . and he took money right out of her purse . claire : well , did you tell ciara ? theo : yeah , she already knew . she said he was just borrowing it , but i do n't believe them . you know , now they 're official , and i do n't even know what i could do ... claire : well , why do you -- why do you have to do anything about it ? wyatt 's into ciara and she 's into him . why ca n't you just be happy for them ? theo : i mean , i was at first -- claire : and now you 're practically obsessed , you know , which is only making my bad day like a thousand times worse . theo : claire , claire , this is n't about you . claire : right , right , sorry . it 's about ciara , as always . theo : why are you so angry every time you say her name ? claire : because i 'm just fed up with hearing about her ! theo : so you just wan na hear about you ? claire : you 're being really mean , theo . theo : no , i 'm trying to understand . claire : uh , how would you feel if i acted insanely jealous of somebody else . theo : i 'm not jealous ! claire : okay , then why do you care so much ? theo : i ... do n't -- i do n't know how to explain it . claire : okay , then just please try to explain , for me . theo : claire ... i ca n't . i ca n't . [ somber music ] chad : you 're making a big deal out of nothing . andré : on the contrary ... i 'm deadly serious . and the fact that i 'm speaking about this in front of her should be proof enough . hope : while you 're speaking of it ... can you tell me what `` it `` is ? chad : no , do n't -- he does n't have to tell you anything . andré : gladly . chad flew all the way to greece hoping to acquire this expensive , ancient amulet . chad : okay , so you you 're really doing it . hope : go on . andré : they say that the subject carries a curse with it and whoever comes in contact with it will suffer a horrible fate . chad : hearsay . hope : do you have evidence to back that up ? chad : just some old wives ' tales . andré : when this amulet was uncovered years ago ... stefano wanted to acquire it . he sent his man to england to bring it back , only this man became paralyzed because of a boating accident . [ edgy music ] now he 's ... spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair . and because of that alone , stefano canceled the transaction . chad : wait , what do you mean stefano ? andré : ah ! now that you know , he has to be arrested , because it 's stolen property -- cuff him ! hope : that would be my call , would n't it ? [ chad laughs ] hope : not that i would n't stop laughing . chad : i have n't done anything wrong . andré : ah ... not yet . but once you have that amulet in your hands , it 's gon na be stolen property , and she has an obligation , as an officer of the law , to make -- what is that expression ? oh ! make a collar . hope : [ laughs ] you 're familiar with that . he actually has a very good point . andré : check and mate , little brother . chad : again , i have n't done anything wrong . andré : mm - hmm . i 'm making sure you do n't . but in the end , when all this is said and done , you 're gon na thank me . you 'll be in jail ... [ laughs ] but you 'll be alive . chad : this is ridiculous . andré : well ... it 's for the best , chad . do n't you think ... dear ? [ dramatic musical buildup ] theo : i 'm sorry . wyatt : did i miss something ? theo : it was wrong for me to accuse you of stealing . wyatt : do n't sweat it . theo : i 'm not sweating . but you are borrowing , and i do n't like it . wyatt : dude ... you 're the one that set this whole ball in motion . besides , borrowing and loaning money is what girlfriends and boyfriends do . ciara told you we 're solid , right ? theo : she did . wyatt : besides , it 's not like she 's strapped for cash , man . i mean , come on , she 's like an heiress . i mean , she 's loaded . theo : i did n't tell you that . how 'd you find that out , wyatt ? ciara : oh , do n't tell me you guys are at it again . chad : i have n't done anything to warrant an arrest . hope : that remains to be seen . chad : even if i did , you do n't have the jurisdiction to do it here . andré : does n't mean she ca n't haul you off to the local police station for questioning . did you bring handcuffs ? hope : no , no , no -- chad 's right -- i ca n't do anything . i mean , i ca n't do anything until he officially breaks the law . chad : so why do n't you both just cut your losses and hop on that next flight out of here ? hope : no . i 'm not leaving ... till i know exactly what 's happening here . andré : that makes two of us . chad : well , you 're wasting your time . hope : no . i do n't want you doing something you 'll regret . andré : you 've got ta do something to stop him ! hope : i told you , i ca n't do anything until he breaks the law . andré : well , get a court order . call in for a favor or handcuff him to the table if you must . hope : what are you talking -- i 'm really beginning to think here that you 're trying to get me riled up so i cross the line and get thrown off the force again -- is that what you 're trying to do ? andré : if committing murder did n't put you out of commission , nothing else will . hope : you call this a truce ? this is n't a truce . andré : all i 'm asking you to do ... is to keep tabs on my brother so that when he meets up with this antique dealer , you can nail him . oh ! what -- excuse me ! [ woman yelling in greek ] andré : what did -- hope : hold on , hold on , hold on a second ! andré : wait , what are you saying ? hope : hold on ... a second . you his wife ? hope : bite your tongue .

[ edgy music ] mm ... you did n't ask me how my card game went . well , i 'll tell you anyway . i won big . which means that you beating me earlier must have been some kind of weird fluke . nicole : guess so . xander : well , maybe you 're a little too smart for your own good . nicole : whatever you say , xander . xander : do n't patronize me , nicole . i hate it when you do that . ticks me off . you always think you 're so much smarter than me . not that i do n't like smart women . all the men in my family do . well ... [ laughs ] you 're living proof of that , are n't you ? but your smarts are n't the only reason to fancy you , are they ? nicole : you know , you 're -- you 're tired . you should ... you should lie down . xander : oh ... i 'm just getting started . you 've had quite a few kiriakis men wrapped around your little finger over the years , have n't you ? i mean , first there was victor ... then brady , me ... deimos , brady again . the only one you skipped over was sonny , but then ... i guess you 're not really his type , are you ? nicole : [ laughs ] xander : i remember when you were laughing at me , not with me . like when you were conning me back in salem . then i brought you here , and you threw water in my face , smacked me over the head , tried to escape -- i should have kept you locked in that cage . nicole : i would have found a way out . xander : oh , there it is ... your hook . sure , you are ... gorgeous , nicole . but you 've got nerve . you do n't take crap from anyone . you 're a fighter , especially when it comes to your kid , and that is sexy as hell . nicole : holly 's my life . i would do anything for her . xander : that 's what i mean . you 're a tigress . no victim card for you . those wheels are always spinning , are n't they ? even when you 're playing me . like back in salem when you kissed me . nicole : you know what , you ... you need some -- some coffee . xander : i was thinking about that kiss the whole way back here . what it might be like to ... kiss you again .

[ stomping ] what the hell ? brady : it was either your phone or your head . be happy it was n't your head . xander : be happy i did n't throw you off my plane ! brady : it 's not your plane , xander . it 's the company jet . xander : a company you no longer work for . brady : just to be clear for the record , i was n't gon na steal the plane or anything . just needed a favor . i know the pilot and we were just gon na head to france real quick . xander : because you have a lead on sarah and mickey ? brady : rachel . xander : sounds like a `` yes `` to me . so let 's find them , eh , before your murderous lady love does . kristen : this is the place . hang in there , rachel . mama 's here . oh . oh , my god . rex : kristen . kristen . kristen : oh , my god . rex : untie me , please . kristen : what happened ? rex : thank god . kristen : where is she ? where are sarah and my baby ? rex : they 're gone . sarah : i 'm sorry we have to leave paris . there were so many things i wanted to show you . when we ran into rex , i honestly what -- what crazy bad luck was that , right ? do n't worry , bubba . as soon as we get on our train , no one will ever find us again . male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the days of our lives . [ soft orchestration ] sarah : we have a while before we have to board , so -- [ imitating fanfare ] it 's your birthday cake ! well , technically , it 's a cupcake , but it 's been a whole year since you were born . mother 's day . i celebrated with grandma last year . i had no idea that that very same day , i was gon na become a mom . sarah : there is so much i want to thank you for , your wisdom and your generosity , but most important , your love . and you may not have always agreed with all of my choices , but it 's made me all the more appreciative of your support . i love you . happy mother 's day . maggie : thank you , sweetheart . mmm . in a couple of weeks , you 're gon na have a child of your own , and then you will understand what it 's like to be a mother . sarah : grandma was right . i had no idea what it meant to be a mom until you came into my life . you 're everything to me . kristen : where did she take her ? come on , where did she take my baby ? rex : i -- look , i do n't know . i did my best to convince sarah to return to salem to give your baby back to you . kristen : oh , god ! how long ago did she leave ? rex : not long . kristen : no ? rex : can you untie me , please ? kristen : no , how long ? rex : half hour . kristen : a half hour , right ? rex : an hour at most . kristen : okay , did she tell you where she was going ? rex : no . but , kristen , she could be anywhere by now . brady : so what are you gon na do when you find sarah , huh ? you 're gon na convince her to bring the baby back or are you just gon na run off with her ? i mean , she does hate your guts . xander : i 'm much more interested in your plan . have you heard from kristen ? is she already in paris ? brady : i honestly do n't know . xander : well , if she is and she hurts sarah in any way , if she so much -- brady : she 's not gon na hurt sarah in any way . xander : oh , no ? brady : no . xander : she killed that nurse . she stabbed victor in the heart . i think it 's safe to say she has a habit of losing her temper . brady : well , she did lose her baby because of you , right ? xander : so how did you get this paris lead ? hey , i can order joe to turn this crate right around , then where will you be ? brady : take it easy . kristen tracked down rex brady 's phone to an apartment building there , okay ? xander : rex brady ? brady : yeah . xander : what does he have to do with anything ? brady : kristen seems to believe that rex might be with sarah . xander : no way . that -- that 's not possible . brady : is n't it ? are you sure ? i mean , you did blow up sarah 's life , did n't you ? just wrecked it . so why would n't she run to her ex - husband for a little bit of comfort , who i believe never really stopped loving her ? xander : well , just shut the hell up , all right ? it 's none of your damn business . brady : it is my business , xander . you stole my baby , you son of a bitch ! in our normal everyday diets , jake : i do n't know who these guys were or what they wanted . it was probably some kind of misunderstanding . ciara : you really expect us to believe that ? jake : i do n't know what else to tell you . ciara : how about the truth ? jake , my boyfriend took a beating for you . the least you could do is be honest with him . jake : if my answer is not good enough , ben 's free to walk . ciara : are you serious ? ben : no , no , no . jake : yeah . ben : no , look . i 'm not gon na force you to tell me what 's going on because i need this job . but those guys clearly mean business . so whatever mess you 're mixed up in , it 's not going away any time soon . xander : you want to hit me ? will that make you feel better ? brady : you know what i want to do , i want to throw your ass off this plane , xander . xander : listen , brady , none of what happened was about hurting -- brady : save it , man . i 've already heard it from grandfather . i do n't want to hear your excuses . kristen and i , we were both under the impression that our daughter was dead for a year , while you and grandfather made up your own justifications that , we were protecting sarah and maggie -- there 's no justification for what you did , man . none . xander : you love maggie as much as i do . responsible for the death of her grandchild . no one deserves that kind of grief . brady : what about the grief that you caused kristen and me , huh ? are you even capable of giving a damn about that ? xander : well , if it makes you happy , it 's all falling apart . sarah hates me . and now maggie knows that she killed her little granddaughter . brady : wait -- she knows ? who told her ? xander : i did . maggie : it 's horrible enough knowing that i caused the crash that killed adrienne . but i 'd always thanked god that sarah and the baby were okay , but then -- that 's what julie was about to tell me , was n't it , when you interrupted her and got her out of here ? will : i 'm sorry . victor made sonny and me promise not to say anything to you . maggie : well , he had no right to do that . and he had no right to switch the babies . will : no . and trust me , i ca n't believe i 'm defending victor after what he did to me , but you know he was just trying to protect you . maggie : yeah . and kristen and brady , they paid the price . sarah : well , that 's my girl . you like chocolate almost as much as momma . would you believe that xander crashed my mother 's day brunch with grandma ? though he did come bringing gifts . xander : so yeah , you just adjust the straps and you 'll be good to go . sarah : it looks complicated . xander : you 'll figure it out it . maggie : oh , this is adorable ! xander : i might have to borrow that often , maggie . we need lots of coffee to get through those 3 : 00 a.m. feedings . maggie : i have to say , xander , you have certainly stepped up in the daddy department . xander : well , you know , we 're in this together . sarah 's doing the hard part , of course . but i did take the birthing classes with her -- sarah : you 're helpful . we get it . sarah : i was so annoyed with xander , like so many reasons . he was so worried about what i ate or if i 'd packed a bag for the hospital . and i just lost it on him . i know , it 's not cool . i even banned him from the delivery room . i just remember thinking that the day could n't get any worse . and the accident happened . kristen : did she mention anything specific ? like a country ? a city ? the airport . that must be where she 's at . i 've got to go stop her . rex : kristen , wait ! do n't you think it 's a hell of a lot easier to anonymously purchase a train ticket than it is flash your i d all over an airport ? kristen : you 're right . mm - hmm . under the radar makes more sense . but what train station ? and there are so many . gare du nord , gare saint - lazare -- rex : and do n't you think you could use a little help ? untie me , please ! these are real people , not actors , [ cell phone rings ] kate : mimi lockhart ? what the hell does she want ? hey , mimi . what 's up ? yeah . no , i spoke to rex yesterday . no , i have n't heard from him since . oh , sure . okay . so you expected him back today ? that is odd . and i promise , i 'll call you as soon as i hear from him . okay , bye . jake : excuse me , ma'am . i believe you dropped this . kate : oh , my god ! stefan ? will : [ sighs , grunts ] ciara : wait , baby , let me help you with that . [ groans ] ben : first day on the job did n't go quite as planned . ciara : yeah . i still think you should have gone to the hospital . what if something 's bruised or broken or sprained or -- ben : i 'm fine . it 's bruised ribs . i 've had worse . ciara : you could have gotten killed , and jake acts like he has no idea what 's going on . he 's kind of a jerk . ben : he 's my boss . and maybe it 's better that i do n't know . ciara : yeah , okay . but those guys could still come back . and they still think that you 're jake . you could die next time , ben . you should quit . brady : why in god 's name did you tell maggie the truth ? xander : while i was there , some inmate let it slip that victor had been stabbed . maggie demanded answers . you know how she 's like . told her everything . brady : how did she take the news ? xander : how do you think ? brady : i suppose it 's better that she knows the truth . bound to come out anyway . ca n't believe i 'm saying this . but it 's probably appropriate that it came from you . xander : well , she should have heard it from victor . but kristen made that impossible . that psycho should be locked up . brady : can you really blame her , xander ? you did steal her baby , did n't you ? xander : well , some might consider that poetic justice , seeing she tried to steal a baby first . brady : if you 're referring to theresa , that 's ancient history . let it go . xander : oh , no , cousin . this is recent history . kristen tried to steal sarah 's child first . sarah : my baby was supposed to be born in a nice , clean , sterile hospital with a lot of doctors and a lot of nurses , a lot of drugs . but because of that accident , everything just changed in an instant . kristen : i 've spent a lot of time in this city . i know it pretty well . i think we need to divide and conquer . you take the stations on the west , i 'll take them on the east . rex : to look for a woman and baby ? that 's gon na take a lot of time that we do n't have . kristen : okay , you know what , you got a better idea ? rex : yeah , i do actually . i 'm gon na call the police . kristen : okay , i ca n't let you do that . seresto , seresto , seresto . kate : okay , you 're stefan and you 're dead , so -- jake : get that a lot . i 'm not dead , i 'm not stefan . name 's jake . kate : what game are you playing ? jake : no game . and i 'm getting tired of everyone coming down on me for looking like this stefan guy . sorry . kate : okay , wait a minute . wait a minute . gabi was convinced that she saw stefan here a few days ago . did she see you ? jake : you know gabi hernandez ? kate : yes . jake : okay , maybe you can explain . what the hell is her deal ? ben : do you remember how hard it was for me to get a job ? i 'm not quitting the only place that would hire me . ciara : it 's not worth risking your life for , ben . ben : i can take care of myself . ciara : yeah , okay , but if something were to happen to you , i -- ben : nothing is going to happen to me , okay ? i promise you . and if something does happen , then you can say i told you so . ciara : not if you 're dead . ben : well , then you can put it in your eulogy . ciara : okay , that 's not funny . you 're not funny , ben . this is serious , okay ? ben : you know what 's serious ? ciara : what ? ben : my need for food right now . and we 're supposed to be celebrating tonight , my new job , your grandfather waking up . ciara : mm - hmm . you almost died today . so forgive me if i 'm not in the mood . maybe we 'll go tomorrow . ben : okay , so we 're just gon na let those two goons ruin our night ? i do n't think so . so what i 'm gon na do , i 'm gon na go take a shower . and i want you to go put on something that is gon na make you smile , put a smile on that face . ciara : you do that , ben weston . you do that real good . so where are we going ? ben : it 's a surprise . oh , easy . maggie : i held brady 's hand . i watched him grieve . went to meetings with him . watched him push down his pain so he could be strong for kristen , you know , when they should have been rejoicing their child and savoring that beautiful new life . and the whole time , victor knew . what kind of a person can watch someone they love grieve the way brady grieved and do nothing ? will : i think that 's a question only victor can answer . maggie : well , there 's a whole lot more where that came from . how is he ? will : he 's a lot better . and , you know , i 'm sure he 'll come visit you as soon as he 's out of the hospital . maggie : i 'm not sure what i would have say to him . will : you know he loves you . maggie : i do . but what he 's done in the name of love , my god . the lives that he 's changed forever , the harm that he 's done . so sarah , has there been any news ? will : i 'm afraid no one 's been able to find sarah and the baby yet . [ sniffles ] maggie : you know what , i wish -- i wish i could walk out of here and wrap my arms around her and tell her everything is going to be okay . but i know it is n't going to be okay , is it ? to find out that the child that you 've raised and loved as your own is n't yours and yours is a sweet baby girl who died because -- [ sobs ] will : maggie . maggie . maggie : i ca n't imagine what my daughter is going through because of me . [ sobs ] sarah : you know , usually , i 'm very calm under pressure , doctor thing , at least when it comes to my patients . to be in full - blown labor in the middle of the night on the side of the road with only xander to help us ? i was freaked out . you know , it 's just because i know everything that can go wrong . maybe because i loved my baby more than anything or anyone . xander : i 'm right here . sarah : you have to help me , okay , please ? i ca n't lose this baby ! xander : that 's not going to happen . sarah : xander was amazing . it was the scariest moment of my life , and he was there for every push , every breath . and it was all worth it in the end . xander : hey , little girl . say hello to your mum . sarah : hi . i was just in awe of my baby , just in awe of that perfect little girl , you know , in awe of her strength . to arrive in the middle of the night , in the middle of nowhere , on the side of a road . and xander made that happen . he was our hero . or so i thought . rex : why ca n't i call the police ? kristen : well , i am -- i 'm wanted for attempted murder . rex : of course you are . anything else you 'd like to share ? kristen : no , but when i found out that victor stole my baby , i might have snapped . rex : and -- kristen : and stuck a knife in his chest . rex : that 's nice . i thought brady did that . kristen : no , he confessed to protect me . rex : oh , nothing says `` i love you `` like ten to life . kristen : you know what , just so you know , i was against it . and then victor woke up and told the truth . rex : that 's why you ran . hold on , the paris authorities do n't know that you 're wanted . kristen : and i ca n't take that chance . i can't . i mean , if i go to prison , i 'm never gon na get to be with my daughter . rex : this is nuts . first , sarah 's on the run . now you 're on the run . look , i 'm gon na call the police and let them sort this out . kristen : no , no . hey , hey , hey , hey . no . 'cause if you do , i promise you , you will live to regret it . you may not see them , but your itchy eyes know brady : what the hell are you talking about ? xander : yeah . i figured kristen neglected to fill you in on her little scheme . brady : what scheme ? xander : when sarah first found out that she was pregnant with eric 's baby , she considered an abortion . kristen found out , tried to get me to help her steal sarah 's baby from her womb so she could get it implanted in hers . does that sound familiar ? brady : tate . xander : what better way to get you back for good than to play the baby card ? kristen was convinced that she could play that baby off as yours . brady : no . that 's ridiculous . xander : nobody does ridiculous like kristen . ask her . or better yet , ask dr . rolf . brady : dr. rolf ? xander : hmm . he was supposed to perform the embryo transfer . but right before the procedure , he realized that kristen was already pregnant with your baby , which is the only reason she did n't go through with stealing sarah 's . so kristen has no right to act like some poor , put upon victim . rex : what are you gon na do ? you 're gon na kill me too ? kristen : no . no , of course not . i need your help , please . rex : okay , okay . then maybe do n't threaten me . kristen : okay , it 's just reflex . i was desperate . please . and you have a little girl , right ? rex : yeah , emily . kristen : well , imagine a life without her . imagine if she was kept from you . would you pleasese rex : okay . okay . kristen : thank you ! rex : right , so we 'll do your plan . kristen : okay . rex : we will split up , and we 'll hit the train stations . kristen : yeah . rex : but , kristen , i have to warn you , sarah could be long gone . kristen : maybe . maybe . but i do n't care how long it takes or what i have to do because nothing , no one is gon na stop me from finding my baby . sarah : it was all blur after xander took us to the hospital . nurse haley took my baby to go get checked out . and i was -- i was just exhausted , and so i fell asleep . and when i woke up , xander brought you back to me and placed you in my arms . xander : she 's perfect . sarah : hi ! hi ! hi , hi . oh , my gosh . you 're right . she 's perfect . and she 's here in this world because of you . thank you so much for delivering this precious angel . she 's -- she -- xander : is something wrong ? sarah : this is so strange . she does n't look like how i remembered her . it 's almost like she 's a different baby or something . that 's because it was a different baby . it was you , kristen and brady 's baby . and my baby was -- my baby was dead . kate : okay , look . i understand why she thinks that you were her husband because the resemblance is uncanny . jake : no , no , no . she 's a whack - job . you know that , right ? she 's practically been much stalking me . harassing me . and she will not accept the truth . i mean , i just almost had to drag her out of my place . kate : okay , okay . jake , the thing that you need to understand is that she was deeply in love with you . not you , stefan . they were both in love . jake : right . fairy tale love and that ? kate : no , not exactly . more of a con job . she was after revenge and his money . but by the time he died , he was her world . so when she lost him , her world was shattered . jake : sorry to hear that . kate : yeah . so if you are stefan -- jake : which i 'm not . kate : well , just in case you are stefan , it would be terribly cruel not to be truthful with her , you know , because she 's lost a lot . i do n't think she can take much more . ben : i hope you 're in the mood for chinese . ciara : you and general tso , two of my favorite people . ben : these are for you . ciara : aw . just like on our first date , ben ! that was like the best date ever , you know ? ben : was it ? ciara : yeah . ben : so this is n't corny ? ciara : no , it 's perfect . ben : good . let 's eat . ciara : yes . ben : check this one out . you know , it is kind of funny though . ciara : what ? ben : that we were celebrating , on our first date , me getting a job with stefan . ciara : and now we 're celebrating you getting a job with stefan 's lookalike . totally weird , ben weston . ben : yeah , yeah . a little weird . ciara : yeah . and just as dangerous , apparently . ben : what ? ciara : ca n't you just get a job with some sweet old woman or something ? ben : at least i have a job . ciara : excuse me . how dare you ! ben : i 'm just saying . i 'm just kidding . i 'm just kidding . ciara : you know what ? listen , technically , i 'm not even unemployed , okay ? ben : oh , no ? ciara : because i never quit titan . ben : ah . ciara : yeah , so , ha ! and , you know , right now is not exactly the perfect time to quit with grandpa recovering from that crazy woman stabbing him and then freaking out about maggie . ben : yeah . maggie : you know , today is mickey 's first birthday . but because sarah knows that mickey is n't her child , it 's the first anniversary of her baby 's death . will : you know what though , that does n't erase all the memories of the past year , the love that sarah gave to that little girl and the love that she received in return . no , sarah will always -- always have that . maggie : yes , yes . she did , she 's raised her as her own , huh ? she watched all the firsts . she 's seen her through cancer . that kind of bond , a mother and a child , there is nothing deeper . will : yeah . you know , i mean , uncle austin thought i was his child for years . and even when he found out that lucas was my biological father , he -- i mean , he said he never stopped thinking of me as his son . right , i think it took him a long time to come to terms with the truth . maggie : yeah . it 's gon na be just as difficult for sarah . sarah : xander lied and said that you were mine . somewhere inside , i -- i knew the truth , but i just ignored my instincts 'cause , honestly , i just -- i so badly wanted it to be true . i loved you with my whole heart the moment i laid eyes on you . so i do n't care -- i do n't care what anyone says . you are my little girl . you are my daughter . - oh . - what 's going on ? will : you know , i 'm worried about sarah . i 'm worried about you too . maggie : well , do n't be . i 'm exactly where i deserve to be . i 've earned every bit of misery after what i 've done to the people i love . will : that 's what i 'm talking about . maggie , that guilt , the weight , it breaks you . i know , i 've lived it when i was in here . maggie : yeah , which should never have happened . i 'm so sorry you had to go through that . i mean , if i had known -- will : maggie , stop it ! please stop apologizing . it 's okay . it 's okay . i need you to listen to me and hear what i 'm saying . maggie , you 're not alone in this . i 'm here for you . we 're all here for you . maggie : who ? sonny ? i robbed him of his mother . oh , if sarah -- if she does come back home , how do i even ever look her in the eye again ? will : maggie , you -- you got to stop . do n't go down that path . maggie : she must hate me . i hate myself . will : maggie , it was an accident . maggie : i was drunk , will ! how do i forgive that ? how do i live with that ? because i do n't really see that i can . xander : we 're gon na land soon . brady : before we do , maybe we should get something straight , huh ? we both want to find sarah and the baby , xander . i do n't know what your plans are . but i do n't want you to get in my way because then we 'll have a problem . there 's nothing that 's gon na prevent me from reuniting kristen and our daughter , do you hear me ? xander : well , i guess we 'll have to see about that . sarah : well , we are all about the future now . and birthday presents and birthday cake with lots and lots of icing . so as soon as we get to our new home , we are gon na throw you a bona fide birthday party . right , look at that . it 's almost time to board . we should get going . yeah , let 's go ! hi ! [ dramatic music ] kate : thank you for retrieving my item . and good luck to you . with that face , you 're going to need it . jake : you said you did n't like stefan dimera . kate : the man gave me many reasons not to trust him . let 's hope the same thing does n't happen with you . [ cell phone rings ] jake : yeah , i got your message , all right ? just call off your goons . doing the best i can . ciara : you know , i really do love this tradition of ours , you , me , chinese food , the park . ben : well , i guess we have julie to thank for that since she refused to take my reservation on our first date . ciara : my family gave you such a hard time , ben . i 'm so sorry . ben : no , no , i do n't blame them . not at all . after what i 've done , i had to earn their trust . ciara : and you did . because you are absolutely amazing . ben : i really , really hope you saved room for a fortune cookie . ciara : always . ben : good . ciara : thank you . ben : you 're welcome . ciara : oh , my god . ben : what does it say ? | kristen found rex and untied him . she wanted to go look for sarah and rachel . he thought it was going to be impossible to look for sarah . kristen said she had to do something . he said he would call the police . she said she could n't let him do that . kate ran into jake . she thought he was stefan . he said he was n't stefan . he said he was sick of people thinking he was stefan . kate asked him if gabi saw him . he asked her if she knew gabi . he asked her what was going on with gabi . will went to see maggie . she talked to him about being there for brady when he thought he lost rachel . she could n't believe that victor would allow brady to grieve when he did n't need to . she asked him how victor was . will said victor was good and that he would come visit her when he was better . she said she was n't sure what she would say to victor . she asked if sarah was back . will said she was n't . she said she could n't imagine what sarah was going through because of her . sarah talked to rachel about xander being there for her when mickey was born . sarah said xander was a hero that day . kristen told rex that she was wanted for attempted murder for why he could n't call the police . she told him that she stabbed victor when she found out that he was responsible for what happened to rachel . rex said he thought brady did it . she said she fought brady on it . she said victor woke up and said she stabbed him . rex thought that was why she was on the run . she said she could n't be away from her daughter . he said the paris police might not know what happened . she said she could n't take the risk . she threatened to make him pay if he called the police . |

[ scene_break ] lucas : hot coffee for my lady . carrie : thank you so much . lucas : you 're welcome . so , how 's it going ? carrie : well , i think i need to talk to sami about her matron - of - honor dress . lucas : oh . always the bride , never the bridesmaid . who else do you know that has that problem ? sorry . carrie : if it 's going to upset you that she 's my matron of honor -- lucas : no , no , i 'm fine with it , as long as you 're fine with austin being my best man . carrie : of course i am . lucas : well , good . and knowing sami , she 'll probably want you to pick the most expensive dress , so do n't let her talk you into anything you do n't want , all right ? carrie : i wo n't . lucas : good . carrie : it 's really generous of kate , you know , paying for the wedding and the honeymoon . lucas : well , she can afford to be generous . did you see th honeymoon package she threw at shawn and mimi ? my god , come on . they 're not even related . it 's a joke . did they even go on that honeymoon ? did they go yet or what ? carrie : i guess not . oh , i ran into shawn and mimi at lexie 's office , and apparently mimi just found out that she might be able to have children through fertility treatments , so they 're putting all their energy into having a baby right now . lucas : wow , that 's awesome . that 's really good news for them . who knows ? maybe we 'll be next . carrie : yeah . anyway , where were we ? lucas : uh , the wedding plans . um ... austin 's tux . carrie : right . lucas : look , carrie ... i 'm sorry that austin put you on the spot like that . you know , he tried to convince you that you wanted to spend your life with him , and obviously we know that 's not true . carrie : i think that austin knows that you and i are together now . lucas : good . 'cause if he does n't know that , well , then , i might have to whip out the big guns on him . carrie : what do you mean ? lucas : well , even though he 's my best man , if he keeps harassing you like he has been , i might have to teach him a lesson he 'll never forget . [ scene_break ] mimi : why ? why is this happening ? we were just at green mountain lodge . we were so excited about making our own baby . we were so happy . bonnie : oh , all men are pigs , honey . i tried to teach you that . mimi : you know , i thought that if he found out that claire was really his baby , you know , he 'd probably leave me , but he does n't even know , so why is he in our second bedroom doing it with belle right now ? bonnie : because she 's a conniving wench . bagging a kiriakis was n't good enough for her . she 's got to have shawn on the side . mimi : but i love him so much . bonnie : then quit your crying and get your tush in there before they pass the point of no return . mimi : okay , okay . oh , my god . i just -- i just ca n't believe this is happening . we just got married . bonnie : listen to me . mimi , you got a choice here . you either get in there and stop them before they get it on , then make shawn feel guilty for the rest of his life , or you get in there , you catch them in the act of flagrante delicto , then you dump him and settle for a chunk of his trust fund forever . mimi : some choice . bonnie : well , it ai n't half bad , really , you know . oh , my god . mimi : we 're too late .

[ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] billie : hey , i came as soon as i could . what 's up ? bo : i just talked to hope . she 's shacked up somewhere with lockhart . she 's sleeping with a wanted killer . when i find that bastard , he 's dead .

'cause what we had was amazing . it was -- it was intense . it was powerful , but ... maybe that 's why it did n't work out because the feelings we had for each other were just too strong . carrie : i think that 's how it was for me and austin , too . it 's funny the way things work out , is n't it ? i just want us all to be happy in the end . lucas : look , i do n't know about sami and austin , but ... no one is happier than i am to be with you right now . carrie : hey , we got a new message . lucas : we got a what ?

[ scene_break ] alex : there you are . i really am sorry to have interrupted your visit with hope , but i 'm just kind of curious -- what were you two talking about ? marlena : well , we were talking about her divorcing bo . it really is such a shame , you know ? they 're so much in love , and i think if they could just be alone together , communicate openly without somebody else there , they could resolve their differences . alex : oh , i agree . you certainly ca n't force two people to be together . marlena : no . you certainly ca n't . what did you want to see me alone about ? alex : well , i 'm a bit concerned . you just do n't seem to be yourself of late . marlena : really ? you mean i 'm not the person that you want me to be , because i 'm becoming myself more and more every single day . for instance , alex , i know what you 've been doing to me . you 've been drugging me . and as a doctor , i know this medication is used to keep me from having my memories back . so you can no longer use this on me . i 'm leaving now , alex . and i 'm doing it with the help of patrick and hope . [ scene_break ] hope : i 'm really worried about marlena . patrick , we have to help her . patrick : help her how ? hope : she should n't be here with alex . i 'm telling you , something is definitely wrong . patrick : that may be true , but marlena made her decision to be here with alex . it 's not up to us to tell her what to do . i 'm more concerned about your conversation with bo . hope : what else is there to say ? bo 's been sleeping with billie all this time . he never should have yelled at you to begin with or challenged me for being with you . i do n't even know why he bothered to call . but i have no reason to second - guess my decision . my marriage is over . i 'm never going back to bo . [ scene_break ] bo : i have to protect hope from lockhart . billie : hope 's a cop . she has good instincts . did she sound worried to you at all ? bo : no , she did n't , but she hates me right now . there 's no way she 'd admit that . billie : did you tell her that you were against the divorce ? bo : i did n't have a chance , billie . she asked me if i had been with you .... if we had been intimate . and i did n't want to lie . i did n't say anything , but ... i think my silence pretty much answered the question . so she knows that you and i have been together , and i know that she has slept with lockhart . billie : i 'm sorry . bo : yeah . how did our ... marriage just ... crumble ? i mean , after everything we 've been through , how did it come to this ? it just does n't -- billie : so , what are you saying ? is your marriage really over ?

hal : yeah . we laid down the law with her . we came up with a plan , how she could pay back the damage she did on prom night . steve : so she split . hal : it involved responsibility and work , so yeah . she 's gone . steve : well , have you been looking for her at all ? hal : [ scoffs ] what 's the point ? minute we call the cops , she 's gon na show up again , acting like nothing happened . that 's her m.o . steve : okay . do you have any idea where she might go when she takes off ?

hal : [ sighs ] do n't hold your breath . fynn : breathe . kayla : i ca n't believe i have this . fynn : why ? it 's obviously airborne and highly contagious . we 're all going to get it before it 's over . kayla : i have -- i have to get to the triage , i -- fynn : no , you do n't . someone walking will do that . just -- come on . you 're only going to make people sicker . kayla : no , but i have to get to my job ; i have to -- fynn : your job today is to let someone else take care of you . kayla : [ sighs ] chad : i mean , she 's -- she 's embarrassed . i mean , she 's more than embarrassed , she -- jennifer : she feels ashamed ? chad : yeah . jennifer : that 's how my mom felt . chad : that 's what she keeps saying , but i -- i -- i told her that 's -- that 's not true . she 's not your mother , all right ? she 's been through a -- a lot of terrible things , and -- and obviously , everyone has a breaking point . she -- she feels like she 's letting everyone down . jennifer : yeah , but that is so not true . chad : well , she does n't believe that , jennifer . robinson : hello , chad , ms . horton . chad : doctor , how 's it going ? jennifer : how is abigail doing ? chad : look , thomas started to cry , and then she just crumbled . jennifer : did she talk about ben and what he did ? did she say anything about my mother ? robinson : i do n't discuss the details of my sessions . i hope you understand . chad : okay , well , she thinks that she 's getting worse , so we need to try something different here . robinson : we can change course if and when that 's necessary , but this is a very hard thing , chad . it 's not a straight line up . i assure you , she is getting help . chad : okay , then what do we do ? we -- there has to be something . robinson : well , we can remove some of the pressure . jennifer : how ? robinson : it seems that when abigail sees her family , she feels ashamed , inadequate . that 's an extra layer on top of the trauma she 's here to deal with . chad : okay , i 've told -- i mean , there 's -- there 's nothing to be ashamed of . robinson : well , that can only intensify the feelings . `` what 's wrong with me that i feel so ashamed ? `` that can be a vicious cycle . chad : so it 's a no - win ? robinson : well , maybe the right thing to do right now is to remove that pressure . jennifer : what ? you want us to just stay away ? chad : [ stammering ] i 'm sorry . you want -- i 'm not gon na leave my wife here and stop seeing her . that 'd be her worst nightmare . robinson : no , no , no . i 'm not asking you to abandon abigail , but she needs time where she does n't have to worry about how her family is handling her illness . can you give her that time ? marlena : oh , fynn , fynn , i just saw paul . i 'm looking for an update from -- from kayla . where is she ? fynn : she 's in bed . marlena : no . when did that happen ? fynn : about an hour ago . marlena : oh , my gosh . have you been able to analyze the iv bag that john 's father gave to paul ? fynn : we found a synthetic virus , the same one paul and everyone else here is infected with . marlena : so you were right . yo ling is behind this . fynn : it appears that way , yes . marlena : how long will it take the cdc to analyze your results ? fynn : that is the question . fortunately , their chemist should be here any minute . marlena : okay . in the meantime , what can i do ? how can i help ? fynn : you 're still healthy ? marlena : so far . fynn : then you can keep the patients calm and in bed . that 's all we got , marlena . we 're grasping at straws here . joey : this place is wild . your aunt simone is a trip . jade : yeah , she was always my hero . my dad hated her , so you know she has to be awesome . simone : okay , i found some extra sleeping bags and a spot in the atrium for you to crash . jade : the atrium ? simone : mm - hmm . solid glass , 180-degree view of the desert sky at night . it will change your worldview . joey : so -- so it 's all right if we just stay here ? simone : of course . joe , as long as you guys pull your weight and contribute , you 're welcome to stay as long as you like . [ dramatic music ] joey : hmm . chad : okay , well , just -- we 'll give her -- we 'll give her more time . robinson : great . let me go and see if she 'd like to come back now . [ dramatic music ] jennifer : i do n't think that this was the best place for abigail . i really do n't . chad : okay , well , do you think she 's wrong ? jennifer : but even with my mom , we -- we could still ... you do n't isolate someone from their family . chad : look , i do n't think that 's what they want , all right ? i think that they 're -- they 're just trying to say she needs some breathing room . it 's hard to be normal when people are staring at you , looking for any sign -- jennifer : right , i understand that , but then you have to understand that this is -- this is my baby . chad : yeah , i want her home , too , jennifer , and so does our son . jennifer : oh , gosh , look at him . [ crying ] you sweet baby . he 's wide awake , now , huh ? chad : yeah , i have no idea how . he 's been up half the night . jennifer : so have you . listen , why do n't you let me take him with me when i leave , and then you can get a good night 's sleep . chad : no , no , thomas needs to be with me right now , no . jennifer : please , chad . robinson : abigail has asked me to say her good - byes . she needs rest right now . chad : okay , um , will you -- when can we come back and see her ? robinson : let 's just see how things are going . [ instrumental music ] steve : hey , claire . have you seen joe or jade yet today ? claire : nope , nothing 's changed since i saw you before . steve : well , actually , it has . i talked to jade 's parents . they do n't know where the kids are , and jade has n't been home in a while . claire : okay , well , they 're probably busy or something . steve : or in trouble . that 's what her parents think . apparently , that 's what jade does . claire : well , i would n't know . steve : well , that 's why i 'm telling you . this is important , claire . joe could be in danger , so everything else -- what happened in court , who 's gon na be mad at who -- that 's all just noise . claire : okay , i already told you everything -- steve : i know . i know what you did . you covered for a friend , and i get that , but if there 's anything else , maybe something you remembered after we talked ? please . claire : okay , well , joey and jade said something about going to los angeles . steve : you think they went to la ? claire : look , i do n't -- i do n't know , but uncle steve , please , you can not tell them that i told you , okay ? steve : do n't you worry . i wo n't tell . i wo n't tell . come here . you 've been a big help , baby . thank you . [ dramatic music ] joey : how -- how can we contribute ? simone : you contribute to the well - being of the family , helping to keep a roof over our head and food on our table . jade : well , how do we do that ? i mean , is this a farm ? simone : no , we 're in the middle of the desert . i mean , we have a little garden , but that only gets us so far . joey : so what do we do ? simone : whatever it takes . do you not know how rigged the game is , joe ? how a tiny number of people are holding all the strings , everything that righteously belongs to the 99 % ? we are outcasts here . we 're the people they could n't be bothered with . joey : uh , okay . simone : we do whatever it takes to survive , and we do n't apologize . you understand ? jade : i do . simone : then i 'll let you explain . joey : so what exactly is going on here ? jade : um ... [ thomas crying ] chad : oh , where 's that bunny ? i must have forgot it in the car . [ thomas fussing ] jennifer : you know , you can call abigail . they did n't say that was out of bounds . chad : well , i think that we should probably let her decide that . [ thomas softly crying ] jennifer : yeah , you 're right . chad : look , i just -- i should n't have pushed so damn hard . i mean , she was fine until i tried to force thomas on her , and then -- and then -- and then thomas started to cry , and then the whole -- jennifer : yeah , i know , but babies -- they -- they -- they sense tension . they know when something 's wrong . has he been fussier ? chad : yeah , i -- i thought he was teething , but he 's obviously just sensing all of our bad energy . jennifer : chad , please , let me take him for the night . i -- i have everything for a baby . i have everything he could possibly need ; i mean ... thomas : no . jennifer : you could spend one night with your grandma , right ? chad : it 's -- no , thomas is gon na stay here with me . jennifer : you 'd like that . thomas : [ murmurs ] jennifer : chad , you need a break . chad : no , we 're fine . jennifer : why not -- chad : look , i 'm not gon na change my mind , so let it go . jennifer : but why , chad ? chad : because i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na let my son go home with somebody in your situation . jennifer : my `` situation `` ? chad : your habit . jennifer : my ... you think i 'm a drug addict ? deimos : [ playing piano ] [ debussy 's `` claire de lune `` ] [ soft piano music ] [ shimmering chimes ] nicole : that was beautiful . why did n't you finish ? do i really remind you that much of her ? deimos : does n't really matter , does it ? that was the past . i live in the here and now . [ dramatic music ] nicole : i just hate to think that i disturb you . deimos : [ chuckles ] nicole , i get the feeling that you live to disturb people . nicole : maybe , once upon a time . deimos : fair warning , i will keep an eye on you , always . nicole : you do n't trust me ? deimos : i just handed you a multimillion - dollar fashion house to run . is that not trust ? nicole : or maybe you just want to keep an eye on me , like you said . deimos : so you think there 's something wrong with me wanting to be cautious with my investment ? nicole : no . i just think it 's more interesting to take a chance . victor : no , i -- i 'll get back to you with the account information . good .

( the first 15 minutes of the show is missing due to a news conference ; we will have to transcribe it by hand sometime in the future ) eli : so since nicole took holly across the state line and even another country , the bureau has jurisdiction to go after her . lani : meanwhile , the salem pd has outstanding warrants for xander 's arrest for attempted murder and escaping prison . jj : you know , i pray to god we get deimos too . i ca n't believe that nicole is the criminal in the eyes of the law but , hey , we have n't been able to pin a single thing on him . eli : jj , do n't let your emotions get in the way of your job . remember , we 're going after xander , nicole , and the baby . jj : are you saying that arresting deimos would be gravy ? well , i love gravy . gabi : hey , guys . paul : hey , gabi . good to see you . look , i , uh -- i have to get going . sonny : tell brady i will take care of everything . justin : sonny , be smart . be safe . sonny : [ sighs ] hey . gabi : hey . sonny : what 's wrong ? you look really upset . gabi : i 'm upset . my dad took the plea , so he 's gon na be in prison for two years . sonny : oh , my god , i 'm so sorry . gabi : and deimos , who thinks it 's fun to poison people , is -- is free as a bird . i mean , i know my dad is n't completely innocent , but he set him up to take that fall . sonny : maybe there 's something we can do about that . paul and i have been building a case against deimos , okay ? we think he 's going after nicole and holly right now . he told brady that he was gon na go find them and bring them back to salem . gabi : and you buy that ? sonny : no , i do n't buy it , but i do believe he 's gon na go find them . but he 's not gon na bring them back here . if he does find them , he 's gon na take off , and we 're never gon na see holly or nicole ever again . gabi : and he 's never gon na pay for what he did . sonny : he is going to pay for what he did . and i 'm really sorry i 'm not gon na be around for the next couple days because i 'm going after him . gabi : yeah , i know . you 're going to greece . and i want to go with you . sonny : gabi , you ca n't . no . gabi : why not ? sonny : i know you want to make deimos pay , but ari needs you . absolutely not . gabi : no , ari needs this feud between our families to stop . that 's what she needs . sonny : and it will stop , without putting you in danger . gabi : danger ? you know i still have bruises from what deimos did to me , from what his thugs did to me ? i mean , he took chad and put us in a meat locker and we nearly froze to death . he kidnapped me and poisoned me . he took arianna 's grandfather away . no , i am never going to feel safe if that man is out there . sonny : i promise you , gabi , i will get him . i will make him pay . gabi : i want to see him go down with my own eyes . xander : come on . damn it . ca n't get through to him . i want to know what the hell deimos wants me to do with eric . is he more useful alive or dead ?

it 's just a tv show . shawn - d : no , she 's going on a date tonight with some guy i do n't even know , and -- hope : and nothing . belle does n't want any other guy . okay . i am speaking as a woman now and not just as your mother . the way belle looks at you -- the girl is in love , and she 's not about to throw all of that away on some total stranger that she 's never ever , ever , ever going to see again . shawn - d : yeah , okay , belle and i are committed . you 're right . hope : right . shawn - d : except for the fact that she 's going on a date tonight on national television , which might give everyone in the nation the impression that she is single . hope : honey , tomorrow morning , belle is going to be all yours again . shawn - d : yeah , i know . i know , yeah . hope : okay . so breathe . let it go . shawn - d : i 'm trying . hope : okay . shawn - d : it 's not even that i 'm jealous , okay ?

brady : just as soon as the doctors say it 's okay . believe me , when they tell you to take off the mask and that you can be around people again , you 're going to see how much i want you , and we will make up for lost time , believe me . chloe : promise ? brady : oh , yeah . come here . mimi : all right , well , have fun . i mean , it 's your time to shine , so i 'm going to get out of here . but later on , i have to tell you about my romantic all - nighter with rex . belle : all - nighter ? i did n't know you two were that close . mimi : not that close . i mean , not in that way -- not yet . but the romance was off the charts . belle : he was herbefore , was n't he ? where 'd he go ? mimi : yeah , i 'm not sure , but he looked upset when he left , so that 's why i want to go find him . you do n't mind if i go look for him instead of hanging out here , do you ? belle : all these reporters and photographers -- what do they want from me ? mimi : forget them . think about your fans , darling . belle : my fans ? mimi , this is getting kind of silly . mimi : fans , as in guys who would give their right arm to take you out , and women who want to be just like the chick who won the date with the mystery guy . you 're america 's sweetheart , belle . now get back in there , and have a great time , okay ? catch you later . belle : bye . man : belle . how well did you get to know your mystery guy on your first two dates ? belle : pretty well , considering i could n't see his face . man : do you feel like you know him ? belle : yeah . man : you know everything about him except what he looks like . belle : not everything ... but enough . man : women usually say looks do n't matter . is that how you feel ? is love really blind ?

daniel : then you were lugging some trash bag that you brought in from work . so what important information did you destroy ? nicole : it 's information , like i said , that probably would have -- not probably . it was important . and it could 've helped someone . and maybe it still can . this is huge . and frankly there 's so much to tell you , i do n't even know where to begin . daniel : okay , okay , well , how about you start at the beginning ? nicole : yeah . it 's time . actually , it 's past time , daniel . i need to tell you everything . daniel : [ sighs ] damn it , nicole . why ?

anne : nick fallon . brady : maggie . daniel : nick 's dead ? i was in surgery . i got out early , i came home , then i had some issues to deal with , so i have n't had a second to see the news this morning . what happened ?

do they have anybody in custody ? jennifer : no , i spoke to hope this morning . and she 's gon na stay involved , even though nick was our cousin . but , i mean , there 's just -- there 's no clues , there 's no lead . i mean , for all we know , it could be someone from prison , you know , like that other man that wanted revenge . daniel : right , right . well , how are the kids holding up ? jennifer : jj did n't know nick very well , but abigail , it 's like a nightmare for her . she was there in the square when nick collapsed with a ton of other people . you know what ? i need to get back , actually , in case she needs to talk about this some more . daniel : you know , i can go with you . i mean , maybe -- i do n't know . maybe it 'll just complicate things . if you need me , you need anything , you call me . jennifer : i will , yeah . daniel : okay . i 'm sorry this happened . i mean ... is there anything i can -- jennifer : no , i know that nick was n't your favorite person . daniel : no , i barely knew the guy , but after what he did to melanie ... jennifer : yeah . daniel : i do n't really care for him that much , so ... jennifer : and clearly you 're not alone . abigail : jj , listen , i 'm sorry for snapping at you like that . it was stupid . jj : no , no , no , it 's no problem . you did n't get much sleep last night . abigail : no , i did n't . jj : you know , i was kind of surprised , you know , how you were so angry . you were crying last night when you told us what happened . i always thought that you and nick were , you know , really close . abigail : we were n't , okay ? we were n't , not for a while . he -- nick turned out to be -- he just -- he was n't who i thought he was . jj : what happened ? nick : perfect little abigail deveraux is nothing but ej dimera 's whore . abigail : nick said that he needed a lawyer . i thought that maybe he had some problems . so i recommended aiden jennings . turns out nick actually wanted a lawyer to start a custody battle . he wanted to get gabi to take ari away from will and sonny . jj : no way . abigail : he used me . jj : yeah . that -- that was low . so you pretty much hated him , and all of a sudden , you 're standing there watching him die . abigail : i did n't want that . jj : yeah , i know . but it happened . and you and i both know that you can feel really guilty when someone dies ... and it 's too late . all right , there 's something else , is n't there ? all right , abs , i know you . there 's something that you 're not telling me . and it 's not about nick . theresa : you know , there is a silver lining to this , though . anne : mm - hmm . theresa : people are gon na stop talking about liam frazer 24 - 7 . anne : yeah , you know , hope brady was here yesterday morning . she was wrapping up that case . theresa : what did she want ? anne : she just -- you know , to see if maybe daniel 's apartment key had been duplicated . theresa : well , what did you -- i mean , you did n't tell her that i -- anne : come on , relax , sweetheart . i had your back . and besides , nobody saw you give him the key , right ? so you 're home free . theresa : yeah , well , i hope so . i 'd really like to move on with my life . it 's time to get brady to focus . you know ? brady : you okay ? maggie : [ sighs ] i just came from a meeting . i did n't speak . i just kept thinking about nick . you know , he was doing great ... turning into a fine young man . and then when he got into pills ... he was never the same . even though he straightened himself out , his mind was changed . brady : four years in prison did n't help . maggie : no . even when he got out , though , he really could n't cope . he made a good show of it , though . brady : we all need help sometimes . it 's too bad he did n't reach out . maggie : i 'm gon na go to another meeting in a little while . it 's what i do whenever there 's a crisis . i try to focus on what 's important . brady : i know . it 's good . maggie : brady , do n't take this the wrong way . would you maybe like to go with me ?

[ cell phone rings ] nicole : excuse me . marlena : you -- nicole : hold that warm and fuzzy thought , doc . oh ! hello , handsome . eric : hey . uh , listen , i know i 'm supposed to meet you right now , um , but i 'm with my sister . something 's come up , and i need to find my mom right away . sami is very upset . nicole : well , you 're in luck . mama bear is right here . eric . marlena : hi , honey . is everything okay ? eric : mom , sami needs you , right away . daniel : i wish i 'd known last night . i would have gone back to the hospital . maggie : there was n't anything you could have done . i would have called you , except i knew that ... he was n't your family . daniel : but you are . mom , how are you ? maggie : oh , i 'm -- i 'm -- you know , no , i 'm keeping busy , trying to help people ... trying not to think ... about all the help that i did n't give nick . daniel : come on . you did all kinds of things for nick . when he got out of prison , where did he live ? hmm ? maggie : here . daniel : yeah . maggie : free room and board in a mansion run by servants is n't the same as being close ... making sure he had the emotional support that he needed . now he 's gone , and it 's too late . and i 'm gon na have to live with that for the rest of my life . daniel : shh . maggie : [ sobbing ] marlena : i wish i 'd known about this last night . i might have been able to help . sami : well , mom , i did text you , okay ? i did . marlena : i had no idea . this ... this phone has been losing things . maybe it 's time for a new phone . sami : [ laughs ] you think ? marlena : yeah . okay . how is allie ? sami : mom , it 's just , you know , tough right now , and i 'm just worried , you know ?

[ melancholy music ] point is , i did n't listen to hope , i defied a direct order , and ... [ david fusses ] i went to that hotel , and i spooked the kidnapper into running . lani : there 's no way you could 've known that that would happen , rafe . you have to believe that holly 's death is not your fault . [ david fusses ] ted : i 'm sorry to say , but , um , i have no doubt it was holly in that van . i had a clear view of the kidnapper when he put her in that vehicle . hope : then , um , why call the coroner ? ted : uh , i was trying to make sure that she was being thorough and timely . hope : no , that is not why you made that call , is it , ted ? ted : i do n't know what you mean . hope : that little girl is dead , so you 're doing what we 're all doing : going over every detail , no matter how small , trying to figure out if there was something that we could 've done differently that could 've changed the outcome . ted : yeah . eric : nicole blames me for holly 's death . sarah : how could she ? eric , you did everything you possibly could from the moment that holly was placed in your arms . you loved that little girl ! eric : i gave her up . sarah : only because nicole wrote a letter saying that she wanted chloe to raise holly , and you did n't want to put holly through a custody battle . eric : because she said i should 've fought for him . maybe she 's right . sarah : she just lost her daughter . she 's -- she 's grieving , and she 's emotional , and she 's gon na lash out at anyone and everyone because she 's just trying to make sense of something that does n't make any sense . nicole loves you , eric , and that does n't just go away -- not what you two have . where is she ? brady : she 's at the salem inn . sarah : okay , well , then , what are you waiting for ? you need to go find her and talk to her . brady : i did ! she would n't listen to me . the only one she 's willing to accept comfort from right now is -- is brady . [ melancholy music ] nicole : why in the hell would you be here about holly ? xander : i heard about holly on the news . the horrible accident -- the car went over an embankment , exploded . brady : sh - shut your mouth . show some decency . xander : i 'm sorry , but ... as soon as i heard about holly on the news , i knew exactly what i had to do . i had to come straight here to be with my dear uncle victor and aunt maggie . brady : why in the hell would they want to see you , xander ? xander : because i have something important to tell them , but seeing as you 're here , holly 's mother , in the flesh , perhaps it 's fitting that you hear what i have to say first . [ suspenseful music ] [ spacey music ] brady : what could you possibly have to say about holly ? xander : what i wanted to say is ... i 'm so very sorry for your loss . nicole : you 're sorry ? xander : well , you know how fond i was of the little tyke . i was her step- daddy , after all . the games of peekaboo , the nighty - night stories -- i mean , for a while there , we were quite happy , the three of us , back in nashville . nicole : are you insane ? we were never happy ! holly and i were your prisoners . you used that horrible recording to blackmail me into marrying you ! xander : i merely used that recording to my advantage . brady is the ... twisted piece of work that actually made it . actually , that makes this whole little moment between you guys very confusing . are n't you supposed to be ass - over- tea- kettle in love with his brother ? nicole : how you -- [ tense music ] brady : your mom ... your mom told nicole that brady was the only one who told chloe to get out of the dimera mansion when she was targeted by the cartel . sarah : and , you know , maybe he did , but it 's the way that he went about it -- whipping up more blackmail about our little kiss and then trying to force you into ramping up another custody battle for holly -- that 's hardly hero material . brady : yeah , well , maybe he was right , and so was nicole . chloe was in danger , which put holly in the crosshairs , and i knew that , and i did nothing . so maybe if i did just , you know , step up , holly would still be alive . lani : your instincts are what make you a good cop . hope has to understand that you were just trying to do your job . rafe : hmph . not so much . she suspended me . took my gun and badge . lani : you 're kidding . rafe : no . lani : i 'm really sorry , rafe . rafe : yeah , me , too . [ melancholy music ] she does n't trust me anymore . i do n't know . all we seem to do is hurt each other ... so i said maybe we should ... make our separation permanent . lani : rafe , you do n't mean that . you two are just upset about holly 's death . rafe : no , no . you -- lani : you ca n't make a decision like that right now . rafe : yeah , you can . you know , it was a long time coming . you know that . i just do n't think we can fix what 's wrong with us . lani : where 's your ring ? rafe : it 's at the crash site where we lost holly . i , uh ... threw it off a cliff . ted : i 've hardly slept . hope , what did i miss ? maybe it would n't have ended in tragedy if i fought rafe harder from going after that car . hope : i had no choice in suspending rafe over what happened . ted : was that necessary ? hope : he disobeyed a direct order , and now , a little girl is dead . lani : i know exactly what you need . how about we take david to the park and teach him how to feed the ducks ? rafe : yeah , i 'm good . lani : rafe , come on . it 's a beautiful day outside , and i 'm not just gon na let you sit in the house and wallow . rafe : oh , w - wallow ? lani : yeah . rafe : i do n't wallow . i 'm not wallowing . lani : not on my watch , you 're not . [ david fusses ] and david agrees , do n't you ? i think you 're outnumbered . rafe : all right , fine . i need to vote anyway . lani : good , because my dad and jack deveraux are in a dead heat , and not that i would try to influence your vote , but i am open to buying you a hot dog . rafe : oh , a hot dog ? lani : mm - hmm . rafe : oh , okay . uh , here 's the thing , though . abe 's a great man , great friend , and he 's gon na be a great mayor again , so he 's already got my vote . lani : yeah . i just hope the people of salem feel the same way . rafe : yeah . lani : okay , how about i go change david , and then we can head out ? rafe : i got it . lani : really ? rafe : yeah , really . not scared of a diaper , you know . lani : okay . rafe : i got this . come on . hey , d - man , you ready ? let 's do this . i got it ! lani : okay , go . rafe : yeah . [ david fusses ] ciara : hey ! lani , i 'm glad i caught you . um , i was actually hoping that i can talk to rafe about ben spending some more time with his nephew . lani : yeah , do you really think that 's a good idea ? ciara : i know you have your issues with ben hanging out with david , but it 's kind of not your call . lani : but it is jordan 's , and she made it very clear that she did n't want ben anywhere near her son . ciara : i know . i get it . i get that everyone is really worked up about ben weston , ex - serial killer , holding a baby . i get that , but lani , david is his nephew , and he has every , every right in the world to spend time with that little boy and have a relationship with him , especially now , after everything that happened with holly jonas . i ... every moment in life is precious , and all ben is trying to do is share some of them with david and actually have a real part in his life , you know ? lani : i 'm sorry , ciara , but that 's not gon na happen . [ melancholy music ] ciara : if rafe could just call jordan , try to convince her that -- that ben has changed and that he deserves to be in david 's life ... jordan listens to rafe , okay ? maybe -- maybe she will agree . lani : from what i understand , there 's no chance . ciara : okay , so ... maybe he does n't even have to tell her anything at all . lani : and go against jordan 's wishes behind her back ? come on , ciara . you know rafe is not that kind of guy . ciara : yeah , but rafe is the kind of guy who believes in family , and he believes in chances , and jordan did put david in rafe 's care , so that kind of makes it his decision , right ? come on , please . if i could just call him , or maybe ben -- ben could just call him and talk to him for a little bit . please , lani . lani : rafe is inside with the baby . ciara : great . great . i 'll call ben and , uh , have him come over . lani : wait , no , no , no . what i meant was david is sick . ciara : mm - hmm . lani : he has a fever . ciara : oh . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry to hear that . lani : yeah , we just -- we want to keep him inside today , make sure he gets lots of rest . ciara : yeah , sure , for real . um , okay . uh , so i will just -- i will call rafe later , and we 'll make arrangements for another time . thanks , lani . lani : you 're welcome .

[ tender music ] as much as i want to be that for her , i ... i 'm grateful that brady is there for her to lean on . xander : does eric even have a clue that his dear brother is using your tragic loss as an excuse to canoodle with his one true love ? brady : xander , will you just mind your own business and get the hell out of here , please ? xander : this is my business . nicole is still my wife . nicole : only because of that recording , but you do n't have it anymore , 'cause i took it . xander : yes , that was a rather stout whack on the head you gave me . not very nice . nicole : yeah , well , i would 've killed you if i had to . xander : oh , i miss that passion , but do n't you think that murdering one man is quite enough ? well , there 's no proof now , is there , which means we are getting a divorce . xander : are you saying that you still have the recording ? nicole : it burned in the explosion . xander : well , that 's what we all assumed about you , but then , miracle of miracles , here you are , and here it is .

`` and ... hope : oh , that really must 've taken some planning on his part . ciara : right ? hope : yeah . ciara : yeah , it was really sweet . and , mom , this ring , it 's a washer from dad 's bike . yeah , ben did n't have enough money for a diamond , so i 'm wearing this one until he can afford one , but honestly , i think i love this so much more than a diamond , because it 's kind of like daddy 's giving ben his blessing , you know , and i hope that you will too . rafe : now , i 'm gon na go to my office and see if there are any updates . jennifer : will you go with rafe , please ? jack : i -- jennifer : please , jack . jack : okay , okay . jennifer : i understand that you are upset , but if anyone is gon na find abigail , it 's gon na be rafe , and you 're talking to him like he 's the help . chad : i 'm losing it . jennifer : i know . i understand that . i get it . chad : what if she -- jennifer : no , no , no . do n't even go there . we have gotten abigail back before , and we 're gon na get her back again . we have to believe that . we have to . abe : abigail , what -- abigail : no , she put poison in your drink , and she was trying to poison you just like she did me . kate : what are you talking about ? why would i poison abe ? abigail : oh , really ? i do n't know , maybe because he 's lani 's father and because you 're upset that lani took eli away from you . kate : eli away from me ? this not making any sense whatsoever . abigail : do n't mess with me , gabi . kate : abigail . abigail , it 's kate . it 's kate . abigail : get your hands off me . do n't you ever touch me , ever . abe : abigail , abigail , please , please , please . counting your veggies can be hard . ciara : i guess it was just too much to ask . hope : whoa , hold on , baby . you did n't give me a chance to think , let alone talk , ciara . ciara : no , mama , i just -- i really want you to be happy about this , and maybe you just can't . hope : just stop . hold on . my head is spinning . i have to say this . i will never be able to forget what ben did . but -- just let me finish . ciara : mm - hmm . hope : i can make myself remember that he did save my daughter 's life and that he really loves her and makes her happy . ciara : mom , i -- hope : i love you . i love you , ciara alice , with all my heart . this is my new philosophy , to live in the right now , and right now , i see that my baby girl -- my baby girl is so happy . ciara : wow . you really are , like , the best mom ever . jake : [ grunts ] so you and her old lady do n't get along ? why not ? ben : she has a real problem with my history . jake : everybody 's got one . ben : not like mine . so she did pretty much everything she could do to try to keep us apart , and ... seeing how she was the police commissioner , she could do a lot . jake : you really want that for a mother - in - law ? sounds like she 's a real piece of work . ben : no , i get why she did what she did . she was trying to protect ciara . jake : so what 's the problem ? everybody screws around , screws up when they 're younger . [ sighs ] what the hell did you do , anyway , ben ? gabi : you finally admitted it . rolf : well , you did n't leave me much choice , did you ? gabi : no . now you 're my bitch . rolf : [ laughs ] well , for the moment , perhaps . the balance of power can shift . gabi : no , i do n't think so . so wait , why is stefan pretending to be somebody else , like he does n't know me ? rolf : mrs. dimera , have you ever had memory lapses ? gabi : no . rolf : actually , i think you have . do you remember young will horton , the father of your child ? gabi : yeah , what about him ? rolf : and do you remember mayor deveraux ? they both came back from the dead , did n't they ? und what else did they have in common , hmm ? you seem to have forgotten that they had forgotten who they were . am i going too fast for you ? gabi : stefan is n't faking it . he does n't remember who he is . he does n't remember who i am . rolf : there , you got it on the first try , did n't you ? let 's go back to memory lane . how do you think they got their memories back ? gabi : the serum . rolf : no , no , no , no , no , not the serum -- my serum . abigail : get your hands off me . do n't even think for a second i do n't know what you 're trying to do . abe : it 's not gabi . it 's kate . abigail : abe , she was trying to poison you . abe : it 's kate . abigail : open up your eyes . abe : look , listen . abigail : no , she was trying to poison -- [ cell phone rings ] chad : hello . kate : chad , abigail 's here at the mansion , and she just attacked me . abe : abby . these are real people , not actors , ciara : mama , i ca n't even begin to tell you how happy this makes me . hope : please do . i 'm glad . ciara : you know , i really did not expect it working out this way , like , at all . oh , wow . hope : what ? ciara : you know , i just realized that now maybe i could ... hope : what ? you could what ? ciara : well , i could ask you to maybe help me plan the wedding . but , you know , if it 's too much , i do n't want to push my luck . hope : ciara alice brady , i am your mother , you are my daughter , and of course i am gon na help you plan that wedding . ciara : oh , thank god , because i have no idea where to begin , mom . hope : a date . do you have a date ? have you -- ciara : i do not have a date . hope : okay , well , great . this is great because it gives us all of the time in the world to do what we need to do , like book a church . maybe you do n't want to get married in a church . park , the square , maybe the backyard , or on a train . ciara : mom , you know , i think that 's something that i 'm gon na have to discuss with ben . hope : yeah . ciara : yeah . hope : probably should . ciara : mm - hmm . hope : why do n't you make a list of all the things that you want and prioritize , put them in order of importance ? ciara : well , i do know what is first on my list , but it 's not gon na happen . hope : what 's that , baby ? ciara : i just -- i really wish that daddy could walk me down the aisle . hope : i know , baby . i know . me too . me too . me too . me too . jake : so you literally have skeletons in your closet ? ben : great . glad i told you . jake : oh , ben , come on . how about this ? let 's role - play , all right ? i 'll tell you that i 'm a serial killer , and you can demonstrate to me the appropriately sensitive response . ben : okay , yeah , you see ? the guy you look exactly like , he was a smartass too . jake : go figure . ben : mm . look , man , i only told you because eventually you 're gon na find out , but i also want to tell you that i 've been completely straightened out . i had an imbalance . it 's been regulated . you can call my doctor . it 's dr . evans . i just really do n't want to lose this job . jake : guess it 's okay , then . hey , at least we do n't have to wear neckties to work . ben : ha - ha . you 're a jerk . jake : oh , come on , ben . hey , it 's not like you told me , whoops , dropped out of high school , right ? i already told you you can keep your job . what , did i not do it nice enough ? should i be worried ? ben : you did it fine . jake : i know i did . so when 's the wedding ? he said , attempting to change the subject . ben : we have n't set a date yet . i 'm just hoping i have enough time to buy her a real ring . jake : wow , rings , weddings . you 're a real traditional guy and that , the whole nine yards . ben : i guess so . so what about you ? you mentioned having a woman in your life before , but you never said if you were married . jake : you 're right . i didn't . rolf : and so the balance of power shifts seismically . gabi : you can get stefan 's memory back . rolf : i 'm the only one who can , and luckily for you , i have a stash of that serum . gabi : thank god . rolf : no , thank me . so as i recall , you said you can get me out of here . how ? gabi : told you , i 'm gon na pay for the best legal team around . rolf : pay with what ? you 're no longer ceo of dimera . gabi : so what ? i have allies on the board , allies who know the governor , a judge or two . rolf : not exactly a sure thing . gabi : no , it 's not , but it 's the only shot you have of getting out of here , okay ? so you help me restore stefan 's memory , he becomes ceo of dimera , and you 're a free man with some very powerful friends . so tell me where the serum is , now . this is my body of proof . hope : look , you , of course , are going to make the most stunning , stunning bride . we will have to find a dress that goes well with this washer , though . ciara : ah . [ laughs ] the industrial look . i love it . oh , gosh , look at the time . i actually want to go see grandpa so i can tell him the good news . although i fear he probably wo n't see it that way . hope : you know , you should probably hold back with that information for now , but i have an idea . ciara : mm . hope : it involves ben . ciara : oh ? well , all right , i 'll bite . what 's the idea ? ben : picking up on the fact that you 're not a real big sharer . jake : you catch on quick . ben : just like stefan wasn't . [ cell phone ringing ] ciara , hi . ciara : guess what . my mom wants to take us out to lunch to celebrate . ben : did you tell her we 're getting married ? ciara : yup . ben : and she wants to celebrate ? ciara : yeah , i know . it kind of took me by surprise too . anyway , can you make it ? ben : let me ask jake , and i am gon na text you back later , okay ? ciara : okay , bye . ben : okay . yes ! that was ciara . her mom wants to take us to lunch . jake : wow . ben : is that okay ? jake : yeah , sure . so wait . her old lady , she 's good with you two getting married ? ben : seems to be . jake : sounds like an easygoing lady . rolf : so any questions ? gabi : no , i got it . rolf : remember , the deal stands even if the serum does n't work . gabi : yeah , i know . deal 's a deal . what , you do n't trust me ?

abigail : yeah . if i ca n't , then i will make small talk . chad : only a girl could pull that off . you think the reason why they 're not throwing artificial sweetener packets at my face right now is because i 'm a girl ? chad : because you 're a smokin ' hot girl . all right , who ordered the iced decaf with whipped cream ? that was you ? there you go . thank you . gabi : i thought you said rafe was stable . kayla : he is , but he 's also critical . there 's brain swelling . sami : oh , dear god . kayla : listen , we 're going to run some tests right now , and when we get the results back , we 'll plan our course of action then , okay ?

who would do this to him ? nick : just sit down . hopefully , now we can relax a little bit , right ? i mean , he got through the worst part . gabi : what if it 's not the worst part ? nick : he survived a cardiac arrest , babe . gabi : he has swelling on his brain , nick . nick : i know . i know . gabi : why did this happen ? i mean , who would do this to my brother ? nick : i mean , you guys -- you keep thinking that -- that it might have been , like , a personal reason for all this because rafe 's a cop . but the fact is , a thousand different things could have happened , you know ? he -- he could have been mugged . you know , he could have come upon a robbery and tried to stop it . we 're just going to have to wait until rafe wakes up . until he does , there 's -- there 's no reason to assume that someone necessarily targeted him . sami : i just do n't understand how something like this could happen . ej : do you think it would help if you were to go and see him ? will : you know , maybe you could ask kayla if you can go in and see him . ej : kayla ? kayla : oh , sorry . excuse me . ej : excuse me . sami : oh , sorry . kayla : yeah ? ej : i know that rafe is unconscious , but do you think you could let samantha in to see him ?

sonny : like how he got them . cameron : well , you know , i do n't have a lot of experience in forensics , but from what we can tell , he did n't have a chance to defend himself . will : okay . was he conscious for very long ? cameron : i 'm not sure . the injuries to his head were from multiple blunt force blows . will : wow . cameron : and whoever did this to rafe was not trying to land him in the hospital . they were trying to send him to the morgue . sami : rafe . rafe , i care about you . i mean , everyone -- everyone outside cares about you . when you wake up , you are going to hate this . you are a terrible patient . and everyone fussing over you , you 're -- but right now , everyone 's really worried . your sister 's really worried . you did so much for me , for my kids . and johnny thinks you 're a hero . for a long time , you were mine . i just want you to get better , okay ?

[ cell phone rings ] will : excuse me . sonny : i 'm gon na go run a few errands , and then i 'll be back to take care of ari . do you want me to get you anything ? gabi : i do n't think so . sonny : okay . will : well , would n't you know it ? sonny : what ? will : it 's the family court . calling to remind us about the custody hearing for tomorrow at 9 : 00 a.m . aiden : well , nick contacted me about representing a client . hope : who ? aiden : gabriella hernandez . hope : the custody battle over arianna . aiden : yeah , but i ca n't talk too much about it -- hope : no , of course , i understand . attorney - client privilege . aiden : yeah . hope : this points us to one more reason . aiden : for what ? hope : murder . sami : god . look , it 's no secret that nick and i were not friends , you know , but ... [ sighs ] hearing his voice on your message and after seeing him all bloody last night , it just , you know , freaked me out . marlena : that 's understandable . and there 's nothing wrong with saying that you did n't like the man . but you did n't want him dead . i mean , nobody wants somebody dead . sami : mom , actually , that 's not true either . after everything that he did to will , i did want him gone . ej : as i recall -- what was it ? a little over a year ago , you were rather viciously assaulted , not far from here if i remember correctly , by one of nicholas fallon 's enemies from prison -- unless you 've forgotten about that . rafe : no , no , no . definitely not . but that 's guy 's dead now too . ej : yes . and , of course , we 're all very fortunate . but , i think , when one considers nicholas fallon 's particular brand of charm , an intelligent man , such as yourself , can assume that there are more homicidal maniacs waiting in the wing . rafe : right , right . so that 's your theory , that nick was dropped by a homicidal maniac ? ej : well , now , are you asking me that question as rafael hernandez or as detective hernandez ? rafe : [ laughs ] i 'm just -- i 'm just making conversation here , ej . that 's all . now listen , you and i , we both had our fair share of problems with nick , it 's just i do n't see you shedding any tears . ej : well , i could say the same for you . rafe : true . ej : i will say this , though . rafe : mm . ej : you are a much better shot than i am . eric : i understand abigail was there when it happened . jennifer : yeah , she was there . she is still so upset . eric : well , if there is anything , anything at all that i can do , just ask . jennifer : that 's sweet . thank you . you know what you can do ? you can help me take my mind off it and talk to me about nicole , because i know that 's not hard for you . eric : [ laughs ] jennifer : what are your plans ? nicole : i 'm an idiot for going out to smith island and grabbing that gun and trying to shoot liam . i could 've killed you . daniel : nicole . nicole : and i know you say it only grazed you , but 2 inches -- 2 inches over and you could be dead , and all because i acted without thinking because i thought i could n't make a mistake . but i 'm here to tell you something . `` mistake `` is my middle name , and i will never pull a stunt like that again . daniel : nicole , i know you would never mean to hurt me . nicole : absolutely not . daniel : but sometimes you ... you make choices , when you look back , they 're really not so good . nicole : i was just trying to save your life . daniel : you know , i was thinking about that night , about how you reacted to liam . and it seems to me that you really were determined to stop him . and no matter what , you wanted him dead , like it was something personal . so what -- what was that ? nicole : well , of course it was personal . i mean , he -- he tried to kill jenn . he tried to kill me . he did n't exactly treat you with kid gloves . i mean , the son of a bitch had to go . daniel : i know that he wanted to kill you , but you had the gun . you had all the power . but you never threatened him . nicole : you know me . shoot first and then ask questions . daniel : [ scoffs ] and when he fell , when he was dying , he was trying to talk , and you clearly did n't want him to say anything . nicole : well , who wants to hear from a total liar anyway ? look , i mean -- in fact , who -- who wants to talk about that guy ? i do n't . look , i came here because i wanted to apologize to you again and because i have a secret that i need you to know . ready ? daniel : yes . absolutely . you know that you can share anything with me . nicole : i 'm getting married . gabi : that custody hearing 's not gon na happen . i 'm calling mr. jennings right now and having him cancel it . will : really ? sonny : wow . okay . gabi : we all love arianna . i mean , family court 's the last place we should be . there 's a much better way to handle any problems that we have . where 'd i put my phone ? i 'll be back . sonny : looks like everything 's gon na work out . will : i hope so . sonny : i 'm gon na go . will : yeah . sonny kiriakis ? sonny : yeah . i need you to come with me . marlena : sami , what you 're feeling is a classic form of guilt . you 're connecting what happened with what you wanted , but there 's no way that was your fault . nick 's murder had nothing to do with you . sami : i will try to keep that in mind . marlena : yes , please . sami : do you know what time he left that message for you ? marlena : uh ... well , no . sami : it says on your phone , i think . 8 : 46 . marlena : 8 : 46 , yeah . sami : mom , that 's when he was killed . can you play the message again ? marlena : are you sure you wan na hear it ? sami : yes . nick : i do n't think i can go on like this . and i just got ta shut it all down . you know , it 's time . i know that i 'm hurting people . i know that , and i 'm hurting me . i 'm hurting myself . and -- and i do n't wan na do that . i can change it . [ sighs ] it feels really good just actually saying that , you know ? like -- like -- [ sniffles ] like maybe there 's hope . [ gunshots ] [ shuddering ] sami : oh , my god ! marlena : oh . sami : he shot nick when he was leaving a message saying that he wanted to change ! oh , my god . ej : shh . eric : daniel and nicole have been so close . i 'm almost surprised she did n't run right over to his apartment as soon as i put that ring on her finger . jennifer : i know . they are a pair . [ laughs ] i think it 's really good that you understand that . eric : well , you too . jennifer : yeah . but i will admit i was pretty uncomfortable at first with how well they got along . eric : when she lied and said that she and daniel were a couple . jennifer : yeah , i mean , i was shocked that daniel would even go along with that . eric : well , that was a ruse , so she could investigate dr. chyka . jennifer : yeah . the greater good theory . eric : yeah , i guess so . you know what 's so amazing is that nicole -- she did all that just to clear my name . she did that out of love . not even realizing she was risking her own life , but she was risking everything . even though she knew that ... jennifer : if she got the proof she needed , she might lose you to the church , right ? eric : yeah . nicole : eric asked me to marry him last night . daniel , it was like fireworks going off in my stomach . but the thing is , we 're gon na keep it on the down low for a little while , you know , family reasons . and now that nick has been shot , that 's probably gon na add on a few days . but there was no way we were n't gon na tell you and jenn . you 've been through everything with us . you absolutely needed to know . daniel , you have been so important to me . i would n't even be with eric right now if it were n't for you , and i think i 'm the happiest i 've ever been . do you think that i 'm ... daniel , is something wrong ? daniel : something is very wrong . gabi : right , i 'm sorry that it 's such short notice . thank you . thank you , mr. jennings . okay , the hearing 's cancelled . will : thank you . gabi : it was the right thing to do . i should have never even ... will : gabi . stop , you do n't have to say anything . everyone knows that nick was pressuring you . gabi : and now he ca n't . will : i know . although i know this must be really , really hard for you . i know you cared about the guy , and i know you wanted to believe that he changed . gabi : well , if he did , we 'll never know now , will we ? i 'm gon na go check on arianna . excuse me . [ knock on door ] [ door closes ] rafe : hey . will : hey . gabi is checking on ari . rafe : i 'm not here to see gabi . i 'm here to see you about nick . ej : [ sighs ] talk about unsettling . not only is nick dead , now we have a recording of the shots being fired . sami : he was leaving a message for my mother , saying that he wanted to change . marlena : i have to get this to hope right away . ej : oh , absolutely . this is evidence . no , no , you have to get this down to the police department as quickly as possible . it pinpoints the exact time of the shooting . marlena : i hope this helps them find the killer . someone has to pay for what happened to nick . ej : absolutely . hope : sonny , please come in . have a seat . i assume you know why you 're here . sonny : uh , actually , no . hope : relax . put down your backpack . this might take a while . hope : sonny , relax . as i said , there 's no need to be nervous . i just need to ask you some questions about what happened last night . standard procedure with all witnesses . sonny : i did n't witness anything , though . hope : you were at the horton square last night , were n't you ? sonny : yeah . hope : and you witnessed when nick fallon appeared there , bleeding ? sonny : yeah . but so was everybody else . hope : looks like i 'll be interviewing a lot of people then . but let 's start with you , okay ? sonny : mm - hmm . hope : sonny , is there anything you remember about what happened last night , anything at all that might help us catch nick fallon 's killer ? ej : well , thank you so much for coming over . and let me tell you something . you know samantha relies on her mother a lot more than she lets on . marlena : mm - hmm . sometimes . bye - bye . ej : good - bye . samantha , you are going to have to be a lot more careful about what you say . sami : what ? why ? ej : because when your mother played you the message on her voice mail , you said , when you heard `` him `` shoot him . `` he . `` how would you know the assailant was a man ? sami : oh , god . oh , god ! ej : it 's little details like that that are gon na slip us up . sami : i know , all right . i 'm sorry . i - i did n't realize . i just was thinking about nick and the fact that he was leaving this message for my mother asking for help , you know . ej : hey , samantha , stop it . sami : i mean , it 's just upsetting to think that ... ej : please , listen to me . there are two things you need to focus on . first of all , nick is dead . he is gone , and he is never coming back . and secondly , that is a good thing . it 's a good thing for you . it 's a good thing for me . it 's a good thing for arianna . it 's a good thing for sonny . it 's a good thing for william . sami : no , i know . ej : it 's a good thing for everybody . sami : i know , i know . and that is why we did it . ej : now , in the next few days and weeks , the police are going to be asking a lot of questions of a lot of people , including us . we need to be extremely careful when it comes to giving them answers . sami : [ sighs ] hope : uh , let 's talk ... sonny : [ clears throat ] hope : now about the last time you saw nick . sonny : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry ? hope : before he was shot . did you see him anytime that same day ? sonny : i did , yeah . he was at my club . hope : and did you talk ? sonny : yeah , we talked a little . hope : sonny , we have witnesses that put you and nick together , and they indicate it was pretty heated . so would you like to go back and clarify that last remark ? sonny : what , am i a suspect now ? hope : everyone is a suspect . you want to be eliminated , you have to be honest , completely . understood ? okay . let 's try it again . why do n't you tell us more about the last time you saw nick fallon before he was shot ? gabi : rafe , what are you doing here ? rafe : hey . just came by to talk to will for a minute , maybe see my niece . how are you ? did you get some sleep last night ? gabi : i 'm okay . arianna 's asleep , but she could wake up soon . rafe : okay . listen , if you need to talk to someone , a ... therapist or a priest -- gabi : i 'm okay . i 'm good . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm upset , but i 'm -- i 'm handling it . thanks for asking . rafe : yeah , okay . gabi : [ laughs ] yeah . you always got my back . rafe : that 's right . gabi : [ laughs ] will , hey , look . i have to do something . would it be okay if you just watched arianna for a bit ? will : yeah , of course . i 'll be here . gabi : okay , i wo n't be long . will : that 's fine . rafe : take care . gabi : bye . rafe : is she really okay ? will : i think she will be . we all will be . rafe : yeah . yeah . good , good . so what do you say we talk about what happened last night ? will : that sounds great . i do n't have anything to hide . rafe : well , neither do i , and the last thing that i 'm going to do is lie about what i do know . will : well , i 'm not going to do that either . rafe : all right . let 's start with an easy one then . do you know about the custody hearing that 's set for tomorrow ? will : yeah . well , gabi just called her lawyer and cancelled it just a little bit ago . rafe : terrific . see , you guys can handle things on your own . i knew it . okay , so let 's get back to the custody hearing . did you know about it yesterday ? will : yes . rafe : when did you hear ? will : last night . rafe : not long before nick was shot . will : i guess . rafe : and not long after i broke up a fight between you and nick . a fight where you said if he tried to keep you away from arianna , that you would ... will : that i would kill him . aiden : look , i do n't want to intrude . i just wanted to offer my condolences . nick seemed like a very accomplished , very determined young man . i know you 'll -- you 'll miss him . jennifer : thank you . that 's really kind . i was gon na make some more tea . would you like some ? aiden : that would be great . thank you . jennifer : yeah , of course . aiden : yeah . eric : i do n't know if you remember , but we met at daniel and jennifer 's party . aiden : oh , yeah . yeah , yeah , of course . of course i do , yeah . eric : yeah , i was definitely not in the best of moods . aiden : [ laughs ] you and me both . yeah , yeah , and your date , she was a very beautiful blonde woman . eric : nicole . aiden : nicole . that 's right . she seemed a little upset with you . hope things have improved . eric : yeah , definitely . things with nicole and i are absolutely perfect . nicole : oh . oh , boy . i ... i can see it in your eyes . i 'm pushy . everyone knows i 'm pushy . you think i pushed eric into this ? i mean , it 's hardly a secret that i 've wanted to be with eric since , well , back when he wore his collar , right ? daniel : nicole . nicole . nicole : okay , but this was eric 's idea . he really loves me totally . daniel : yeah , but that is not the problem . [ sighs ] nicole : okay , you 're ... you 're scaring me . what 's wrong ? i mean , did you change your mind ? you 're acting like you do n't want us to get married . daniel : okay , nicole , marriage is something you and eric -- you are gon na have to decide for yourselves . nicole : we already have . what is going on with you ? this is the best thing that 's ever happened to me . i 'm marrying a wonderful guy who loves me to death , and you 're ... ca n't you just be happy for me ? i thought you were my friend . daniel : oh , i am ! but maybe i 've been too much of a friend . nicole : daniel . [ sighs ] if i did n't know better ... are you jealous ? seriously ? i mean , i 'm ... i 'm flattered . i really am , but we 're just friends , right ? that ship has sailed . you 're with jenn , happy as a clam , and i 'm engaged to eric . i 'm engaged to eric ! daniel : no , we are friends . just that . and we have grown to trust each other . have n't we ? nicole : yes , absolutely . daniel : and i - i think we 've had our problems . right ? first it was chloe , all of that stuff , and i was a jerk . nicole : and i was impossible . daniel : but we got past all of that . and then we dealt with ej . and we got involved romantically . but eventually we came close in such a different way . like friends , as i 've said . nicole : yes . we 've gotten through everything , so why ... why ca n't you be happy for me ? i mean , daniel , you 're the one who taught me what love really is and how it has to be . daniel : yeah , and then eric came back into your life . nicole : and he 's the best thing that 's ever happened to me . daniel : he is everything to you . and i am proud of the way that you have put him first , risked everything to help him . which is why , when i learned what i just found out , it -- it just ... i - i ca n't understand it . sami : so what happened is something that was really , really scary for allie to think about . johnny : did she cry ? ej : well , um , you know , i think she was feeling so many different things at the same time , that she did n't quite know how to feel . sami : and i think it 's gon na be a long time before it stops being scary for her . ej : so here is what we need you to do . i need you to be the best sister , and i need you to be the best brother you can for allie . can you do that ? sydney : okay . ej : okay ? johnny : yeah . ej : good stuff . sami : so if you have any questions or anything you wan na talk about , you come to me or daddy , okay ? okay ? johnny : is the bad man who hurt nick gon na hurt us too ? sami : no . ej : no , absolutely not . sami : no , we are gon na keep you safe . daddy and i will always keep you all safe . ej : definitely . so how about you both give allie a big hug when she gets home ? okay ? sami : yeah ? how about we practice ? ej : shall we ? sami : hugs right now ? for everybody ? aw . family hug . mwah . aiden : you know , if there 's anything i can do for you or your family , please let me know . jennifer : yes . thank you so much . aiden : okay . look , i understand what it 's like to have tragedy come down on you . you know , you think your future 's gon na be one way and then , well , you 're just wrong . okay . jennifer : all right , thanks . sonny : nick basically said he was going to get anything he wanted , including a custody agreement giving will no rights whatsoever . so , yeah , i got into his face . hope : sounds like you were pretty angry , sonny . will : hey , you saw us . there 's no denying it . i was really angry at nick . i mean , that guy just loved rubbing my nose in it , telling me about how he was gon na get away with whatever he wants , and there was nothing i could do to stop it . but people say things when they 're mad . you know that . rafe : yes , i do . but normally the guy that they say them to does n't wind up murdered a few hours later . will : oh , seriously ? come on , rafe ! you do n't really think i killed nick , do you ? sonny : yeah , i was angry . will and i talked to you the same night about nick 's involvement in the whole custody agreement . do you remember ? hope : i do . sonny : okay , you know , i mean , like , anger is kind of a natural response around nick . hope : is there anything else you think i should know about nick fallon 's death ? sonny : no . uh , nothing . hope : okay . sonny : [ sighs ] hope : that 's it for now . you 're free to go . sonny : great . okay , see you later . rafe : will , it does n't matter what i think . what i 'm worried about is how this looks . will : so you 're going to tell hope about the fight that i had with nick ? rafe : no , you are . [ suspenseful music ] [ knock on door ] hope : hey . come on in . marlena : i 've got something . it 's important . you 're gon na want to hear this . hope : okay . marlena : nick called me last night . i did n't get the message until this morning . nick : julie suggested that i -- that i call you . ej : look . i know it may not seem like it at the moment , but this will pass . sami : yeah , right . the cops , they 're just gon na stop looking , you know , 'cause that 's what they do . ej : of course they will . my man is gone . he 's left town . he 's never coming back . sami : ej . i still feel awful . ej : come here . sami : [ sighs ] ej : listen to me . nicholas fallon had a choice . now , i warned him , repeatedly . he made the wrong choice . nick is the only one to be blamed for the fact that he had to be murdered . gabi : excuse me ? eric : strange , is n't it ? jennifer : yeah . maybe we 're just anxious . eric : it has been a while . jennifer : yeah . eric : [ slurps ] jennifer : what ? eric : [ gulps ] well , you know what ? nicole does love drama . she 's probably just trying to drag this on as long as she can . jennifer : yeah , i mean , maybe she 's making daniel guess what 's on her mind . eric : yeah , i mean , still , would n't we have heard something by now ? nicole : i 'm so confused . daniel : what i found out was that something changed . nicole : what ? daniel : you . you changed . i do n't know why , when . desperate , maybe ? i do n't know . nicole : this does n't make any sense . daniel : do you remember why we went after chyka ? nicole : he gave kristen the drugs that she used on eric . he needed to pay . daniel : no , you 'd given up on that . you wanted proof . nicole : to clear eric 's name . daniel : no , not just clear it . you wanted proof , so eric would be able to make a choice . now , if we could clear his name and he chose you , you would know in your heart that you were n't his fallback position , that he wanted you first , not the church . nicole : right . daniel : and we almost got a confession out of chyka . but something went wrong , and i eventually had to leave . nicole : and chyka got away . daniel : and you said , no matter how hard you looked , you never found the proof that you needed to give eric that choice . and i believed you . nicole : there was n't any proof . daniel : no , yes , you had it in spades . you risked everything to give eric that choice . and you -- you took it away . i know the truth , nicole . now , i 'm not gon na sit here and let you deny it . gabi : sorry , harold was working right outside the door , so he let me in . i - i should have called , should n't i ? sami : no , no , no , it 's okay . ej : no , no , no , no . not at all , no . it 's perfectly okay . gabi : so how 's allie doing ? sami : oh , my mom recommended a psychiatrist we 're gon na use . we 're gon na make sure she gets through this . ej : and , actually , we were just discussing cancelling a few of your upcoming modeling sessions , so you can spend a bit of time focusing on yourself . sami : and ari , of course . you know , we want you to take all the time that you need . gabi : i 'd actually like to be working . i was thinking on the way over here about the trip to argentina . have they set a date yet ? sami : oh . ej : i do n't think that they have , but i can certainly check and see . sami : and i know they 're very anxious . gabi : so am i . you should know also that i called my lawyer this morning and cancelled the custody hearing . sami : really ? gabi : yeah , and , ej , i 'd like for you to draw up a custody agreement just so that we have it . okay , and i want to make sure that it 's absolutely 50/50 and for both of us to have the right to ask for anything . ej : i would be glad to . sami : [ crying ] nick : it feels really good just actually saying that , you know , like -- like -- [ sniffles ] like maybe there 's hope . [ gunshots ] [ shuddering ] hope : we 'll need , um ... we 'll need to have one of our ... our techs get a copy of that . marlena : of course . hope : that probably explains why we have n't been able to find nick 's phone . since he was using it , the killer decided to take it . marlena : are you okay ? hope : i just ... i did n't expect ... marlena : to hear that . i 'm sorry . i should have warned you . hope : it 's just so sad . the whole thing is so sad . it 's just -- he was reaching out . he was asking for help . do you know how many times i put off contacting him ? marlena : no , this is not your fault . hope : he wanted to change , marlena . he wanted to change , and someone took that opportunity away from him . maybe that call will help us find whoever did that . eric : nicole 's not answering my texts . jennifer : well , does she normally ? eric : immediately . i wonder if they decided to celebrate . jennifer : well , they should n't be the only ones having fun . why do n't we go over there ? eric : that 's a great idea . let 's surprise them . jennifer : yes ! nicole : daniel , i ... i do n't know what you 're ... what you 're talking about . are you -- are you feeling feverish ? i mean , if that wound gets infected , you know ... daniel : do n't . nicole : i honestly have no idea where this proof thing is coming from . daniel : well , i 'll show you . now explain that , nicole . | hope wanted to know why aiden 's card was in nick 's wallet . marlena listened to the message nick left her . sami was scared when she heard it . marlena wanted to know what scared her . rafe started questioning ej about nick 's death . will told sonny to take the gun back to victor 's . when sonny pulled out the gun , gabi came out and wanted to know what was going on . will and sonny got out of it . aiden told hope why nick had his card . sami told marlena that she was n't upset that nick was dead . rafe continued to question ej until ej walked away . daniel wanted to know why nicole did n't shoot liam . she made an excuse for it . he grilled her about why she did n't want liam to talk before he died . she ended up telling him that she 's getting married . a police officer showed up to take sonny to the police station . |

sonny : yeah , we -- for hours . rex : well , how long did this memory lapse last ? will : maybe a minute or two , and then little by little , i started remembering again . rex : okay , well , i mean , that 's not uncommon for someone with a tumor like yours . will : hmm . rex , i -- i know the radiation did n't shrink my tumor , but is it growing ? is that why my symptoms are getting worse ? what is happening to me ? male announcer : like sands through the hourglass , so are the `` days of our lives . `` [ soft orchestration ] rex : well , i -- i ca n't imagine what you 're going through . i 'm sure it 's very scary . but a side effect of radiation is cell death . and with that comes associated swelling and then temporary , noticeable symptoms . will : you did n't answer my question . is my tumor growing ? is `` swelling `` the same as `` growing `` ? rex : no , it 's not . there 's no evidence of tumor growth . will : okay , yeah , i swear if i lose my memory again , i don't ... sonny : will , you just have to take one step at a time . will : no , no , that is one thing that i 'm not gon na be able to handle . rex : okay , look , look , brief , short - term memory loss is very different from what you experienced in memphis . and you 're not gon na forget who you are . you 're not gon na forget sonny . sonny : you better not . rex : look , buddy , go home , get some rest , and hopefully we 'll see some improvements very soon . will : and if we do n't ? rex : we 'll go to plan b . just hang in there , okay ? will : he 's not telling us how bad it really is . sonny : will , you 're making negative assumptions , okay ? that 's not gon na help . all right , why -- why would a doctor not be honest with you ? kayla : [ sighs ] will : oh , god . what is it ? marlena : oh , honey . nicole is half out of her mind with grief . she 's mourning the loss of a child . anger is what happens in situations like this . she 's just lashing out at everybody that she cares about . this will pass . eric : yeah , well , i 'm not so sure about that . marlena : i am . give her some time . give her some space . just make sure that you 're there when she needs you . eric : yeah , well , what if she never needs me ? marlena : she will . she loves you . and she understands that you really wanted what was best for holly . eric : oh , and nicole does n't know that , and please stop pretending that i 'm so innocent in this . marlena : you are innocent in -- eric : no , i 'm not . i 'm a big reason why holly 's dead . why would nicole ever forgive me ? because i 'm not sure i can even forgive myself . sarah : you okay ? i mean , can i get you anything ? is there anything i can do ? nicole : no . sarah : you sure ? nicole : you know , to be honest , what i needed you to do , what i needed someone -- anyone to do -- was keep daughter safe . sarah : nicole , you know how much i loved holly . she was my niece . nicole : you all failed her , chloe , eric , your family . no one protected her , my only child . she was the light of my life . she was my life . i never thought i 'd be blessed with a child with all the longing and the pain and the loss , but then there she was , my ... my little miracle , my holly . and to think that she was taken from this earth so soon . and when it did end for her , she was terrified , and it did n't have to happen , and it happened , because no one cared enough to protect her . sarah : no , it 's not that no one cared . nicole : oh , you know what ? for god sakes stop defending the indefensible , because brady was the only one sounding the alarm , and no one listened to him . no one listened to him , and guess what . my daughter is dead . brady : you want me to hand over the ceo job to you ? xander : mm , do n't act so surprised . you 've always known i wanted it . besides , do n't you want to go out on your own terms before uncle victor decides to fire you again ? brady : he 's not firing me , xander . xander : oh , really ? then why did he bring kate back into the company ? you and i both know that 's the beginning of the end for you , right ? brady : look , even if i wanted to hand you the ceo job , i could n't do it , because i do n't appoint my successor . xander : why not ? are n't you the boss ? brady : i am the boss , but victor is still the chairman of the board . he appoints the ceo , and he despises you , which means this is not gon na work out for you . xander : oh , no . well , i guess that means nicole will go to prison for murder . and it will all be on your head . [ tense music ] xander : but maybe you do n't care if nicole goes to prison . maybe you 're not done punishing her ... for choosing your brother over you . brady : the woman just lost her daughter , xander . i mean , what kind of bastard are you anyway ? xander : the kind that sees all this tragedy as an opportunity . brady : get out of here . xander : fine . well , at least the salem pd will finally solve the case . i 'll just go give this to them . brady : wait . hold on . [ dramatic music ] eric : brady urged for me to fight for holly , to keep her out of danger she might be exposed to when she was with chloe and stefan . marlena : honey , she 'd already been through so many battles . why would you want to put her through one more ? eric : well , what if i dismissed brady , what he was thinking , you know , because i was too obsessed that he had an ulterior motive ? marlena : no . you have always wanted what was best for holly . i mean , you told me how happy she was to be with parker , how much she loved being part of the family . eric : but happy and safe are not the same thing . marlena : you did the best you could based on the information that you had at the time . eric : did i ? marlena : yes , you did . how do i get through to you on this ? this is not your fault . in your heart , i think you know that . in her heart , nicole knows that . eric : yeah , but she does n't think that . mom , she was angry . she 's feels that everyone -- everyone let her down , everyone except for brady . marlena : should i talk to her ? eric : no . marlena : maybe i could help . eric : mom , no . sarah already offered to do that , and i told her not to . marlena : why ? eric : because i do n't want to cause nicole any more pain . sarah : we all made mistakes . we all could have been more attentive . there are so many things that i wish i would have done to keep holly safe , but believe me when i tell you that i would have moved heaven and earth to save her . nicole : stop . `` i would have done this . i would have done that . i would have moved heaven and earth . `` who cares ? you did n't do a damn thing , and no one else did either . sarah : we -- we tried . nicole : [ scoffs ] sarah : especially eric . nicole : oh , yeah . eric gave her away . sarah : he agonized over that decision , and chloe convinced him that she could give holly a good home . marlena : at the dimera mansion , while a drug cartel was pursuing chloe . sarah : and when eric found that out , he wanted to go straight there and take holly , but we all decided that stefan was the best person to keep them all safe . nicole : no , you all decided . i heard all the pathetic excuses from eric . did you come here to plead his case ? sarah : no , of course not . actually , he asked -- he asked me not to come . nicole : but you did anyway . why ? why is how i feel about eric so important to you ? [ tense music ] stefan : work will have to wait . we have more important things to deal with right now . chloe : you know what ? no . it 's okay . you guys talk business . i need to get out of the house anyway . stefan : where are you going ? i can take you . chloe : i 'm gon na go to work , doug 's place . stefan : okay , why do n't you let me drive you ? chloe : no , it 's okay . i 'll be fine . i think i might have left one of holly 's stuffed animals there , and i want her to be buried with it , so ... stefan : all right , let me know if you ca n't find it . i 'll have the staff turn the place upside down . chloe : thank you . stefan : yeah . gabi : chloe , i 'm really sorry . she was a very sweet girl . chloe : yeah , she was . [ somber music ] [ door shuts ] stefan : what the hell are you doing here , huh ? we do n't have any unfinished business . gabi : oh , yes , we do . [ dramatic music ] stefan : no , we ca n't do this . gabi : what ... stefan : we agreed we would n't again . gabi : yes , and i -- i could n't resist , and i do n't think you want me to . stefan : it 's wrong . it 's inappropriate . gabi : well , i think that 's what makes it so great , no emotions , no strings attached , no feelings , and we do n't even like each other . stefan : you are a master of understatement . we loathe and detest each other with every cell in our respective beings . gabi : that too . stefan : brady almost caught us last night . gabi : okay , but he didn't . stefan : what if chloe had found out ? gabi : who cares ? i mean , she 's not your girlfriend . stefan : she 's devastated from losing holly . i ca n't do that to her . gabi : what do you owe her ? i mean , you 've had one date , and in that date , her daughter was kidnapped and then later killed . i mean , i think you guys are off to a great start . stefan : shut the hell up . gabi : do you think that she 's ever gon na forget that ? any time you guys are together , it 's always gon na be on her mind . stefan : you do n't know that . gabi : what about you ? stefan : what about me ? gabi : well , i mean , you care about holly too , right ? do n't you need some comfort ? stefan : mm - mm . [ dramatic music ] gabi : what 's wrong ? what ? why are you stopping ? [ gentle piano music ] stefan : i ca n't do this . not now or ever again . will : what 's going on ? kayla : i have been spending some time with your file . sonny : and what -- what does that mean exactly ? kayla : well , given the failure of the first radiation treatment to shrink your tumor , i wanted to work on refining your treatment plan , so i asked a pathologist to send me over the biopsy results so that i could go over them myself and make sure that the diagnosis was accurate . will : are you saying that i might have cancer after -- kayla : no , no , no , absolutely not . the tumor is benign . sonny : okay , but you are saying there -- there 's something that was missed . kayla : no , not missed exactly , but the pathologist did have trouble classifying this particular subtype of tumor . he said it was nothing he 'd ever seen before . will : so i have a unique tumor . kayla : the tissues contained traces of a very rare chemical compound that i have only seen once before . sonny : and when was that ? kayla : the compound was in the serum that you took to get your memory back . [ tense music ] seresto , seresto , seresto . will : are you saying that the drug i took to get my memory back gave me the brain tumor ? kayla : i ca n't say definitively , and i do n't know if we ever will be able to , but with any experimental drug , there would be unforeseen side effects . sonny : side effects ? what 's the bottom line here , please ? if this drug caused the tumor , then what does that mean for will 's treatments ? kayla : it 's just possible that this tumor will be more resistant to conventional treatments , and , i mean , we could be dealing with an unknown quantity . will : so you do n't know what to do . kayla : not yet , but let 's not get ahead of ourselves . will : oh , my god . it 's almost funny that the drug i took to get my memory back is now causing me to lose my memory . xander : you 've reconsidered my offer ? brady : i have one of my own , one that i think we could both live with . xander : i 'm listening . brady : i will buy the recording from you . you can name your price . you can take the money . you can establish your own company . you 'll finally be out from under victor 's thumb . you can do whatever you want . and you 'll be able to prove to victor your true value . xander : you want to fund my own company . brady : yeah , name your price . xander : there is none . brady : there 's always a price . what is it ? xander : i do n't expect you to understand this , brady , but this is n't about money for me . what i want is the respect my family owes me , so you can take your checkbook and shove it . brady : well , all right . hold on . i hear you . i can not offer you the ceo position , obviously , but i can offer you a position in titan . i do n't need victor 's approval for that . xander : just like last time when you offered to stick me in janitorial with a mop ? brady : no , this would be an executive position , xander , a good one , on that would actually give you power . xander : would you really give me that ? brady : in exchange for nicole 's freedom , yes , i would . but this is the best offer you 're going to get . you take it or leave it . marlena : sarah offered to speak to nicole on your behalf ? eric : yes , she did . marlena : well , that must have been very difficult for her . eric : mom , it 's difficult for everyone . marlena : yeah , you know , i spoke to sarah . i know that the two of you were planning to tell rex how you felt about each other , and that was when nicole came back . eric : yeah , yeah . marlena : i 'm so sorry that i accidentally told sarah that you had feelings for her . i just -- i thought -- eric : thought she knew . i understand . you know what , mom ? it -- it does n't matter anymore . marlena : it does matter . and we do n't have to get into it right now . but at some point we will have to get into what was going on before we lost holly . eric : you mean with sarah and me . marlena : you 've had feelings for her for a long time . eric : but nicole 's the love of my life . marlena : i know that , but it does n't mean that your feelings for sarah just go away because nicole comes back . nicole was pushing you away . eric : mom , what are you trying to say ? you 're saying that i should let go ? is that what you 're ... you 're saying that i should let go of nicole and be with sarah ? nicole : eric , let this happen . i counted on him , and he let this happen . sarah : you need the support of the people you love right now , and i hate to see you pushing us away , especially eric . [ tense music ] nicole : since when did you two become so close ? sarah : well , i -- i was there for him when he thought that you had died , and ... and i watched him suffer , and i watched him agonize over how to break the news to holly . he spent every minute of the day trying to do what he thought was best for her , what he thought you would want him to do . nicole : so you spent a lot of time together . sarah : we 're good friends . nicole : since when ? did you bond over my death ? sarah : what are you asking me ? nicole : when i came back , i expected to see holly and eric in the apartment . and instead , he came back with you ... looking very cozy now that i think about it . and now here you are giving him a very impassioned defense . is there something going on between the two of you ? [ suspenseful music ] now you can make any morning of the week marlena : please do n't misunderstand . i 'm not saying that you should -- you should give up on nicole . i 'm just saying that you should be really honest about your feelings and that sarah should too . eric : we were honest . what 's with the look ? marlena : i 'm wondering if you know that sarah has decided to go ahead and marry rex . eric : i heard . it 's a decision for her to make . marlena : well , you see , i 'm concerned , because i suspect that she 's made that decision because she ca n't be with you . eric : mom , i do n't want to get into this right now . marlena : okay . eric : i 'm counting on your discretion . sarah : of course there 's nothing going on between eric and me . nicole : are you sure ? sarah : if i had feelings for eric , why would i be here trying to get you to forgive him ? nicole : i do n't know . maybe because you have a guilty conscience . maybe you do n't want your fiancé to know how you really feel . sarah : i 'm here as a friend to both of you . nicole : okay . whatever you say . but if you 're settling for rex because you think you ca n't have eric , you should reconsider , because as far as i 'm concerned , eric is all yours . [ dramatic music ] stefan : this was holly 's . [ clears throat ] it must be what chloe was looking for , the one that she wants holly to be buried with . gabi : i ca n't even imagine what chloe 's going through or nicole . i mean , if i 'd had to bury my daughter , you 'd have to put me in the grave beside her . stefan : chloe will get through this . she 's strong . gabi : i know you were really attached to holly . stefan : i was . she filled some of the void that was there when i found out charlotte was n't my daughter . [ clears throat ] gabi : right . this must be pretty hard for you . stefan : yeah . gabi : i -- i 'm just saying that after the funeral i know you 'll be expected to comfort chloe , but ... who 's gon na comfort you ? stefan : [ sighs ] is that an offer ? gabi : it is . stefan : mm . what the hell are you up to , gabi ? [ tense music ] born to be wild kayla : although we ca n't be sure that the drug caused the tumor , it seems likely . if i could just get my hands on the chemical formula of the drug , then , you know , might be able to help with the treatment . sonny : and it 's gone for good ? kayla : well , the fda confiscated whatever was left , and seth burns somehow lost dr . rolf 's original diary . sonny : and how would having it help ? kayla : we could resynthesize the drug , and it might be able to give us some kind of insight in treatment . will : you do n't think radiation is gon na work , do you ? kayla : i 'm not saying that . i 'm just saying that we need all the tools in our arsenal . sonny : we 're gon na keep fighting , will . kayla : exactly , and that really is the most important weapon . it 's you , your strength , your will to live , and everything you have to live for . [ gentle music ] marlena : i will never say anything to nicole about your feelings for sarah . eric : that 's what you said last time . marlena : i know . but it will not happen again . i promise . i think we all have to be careful about making any rash decisions . eric : there is nothing rash about me deciding that i want to be with nicole . marlena : i understand . you know , i was in the same position at one point when roman came back , and i thought i could just brush aside my feelings for john . i tried . it hurt everybody that i loved the most . eric : i hear you . all i can think about right now is how much pain nicole is in and how much that i want to be there for her . marlena : i know . and you will . mmm . eric : mmm . sarah : i do n't want eric . i love rex . nicole : again i ask you , are you sure ? sarah : i understand that you 're angry , and i understand that you do n't trust me or anyone else . nicole : mm - mm . i trust brady . sarah : you 're emotionally raw right now . nicole : right now ? i will always be emotionally raw . i lost daniel , and now our daughter is dead . she 's dead , because the people i relied on failed her , and i will never forgive any of you , especially eric . and you go ahead and send him that message . and get out . sarah : nicole , i -- nicole : do n't make me . [ somber music ] xander : i have no desire to be your underling . brady : if you do a good job , you 'll finally prove yourself to victor . and hell , maybe even one day when i 'm done , the company will be yours to run . xander : you ca n't promise that . brady : you 're right , i ca n't promise that , but what i can promise is , this is the best offer you 're going to get . take it or leave it . xander : i want an office with a window . brady : [ scoffs ] i figured you would . xander : and a company car . brady : so you will take it . xander : i 'll take it . brady : good . good . so give me the recording . xander : oh ...

eli : of course not . what , do you think i - i want you to go to prison ? lani : i do n't know , eli . you 've been so upset with me . eli : yeah , and i 'm still upset , okay ? i hate what you did ... but i know you only did it because you have a big heart and you believe in second chances , especially when it comes to mothers and kids . so just like you 've done before , you risk everything to help others , and then you get the short end of the stick at the end . i wo n't let that happen again . lani : what are you saying ? eli : i 'm saying that what you did for kristen should stay between us . jake : ben , i do n't know how the hell you ever worked for this woman . i mean , not only is she the most stubborn human being on the planet , she 's out of her mind . gabi : what ? i 'm the only sane person left here . ben : gabi , you know that stefan is dead . gabi : okay , yeah , i knew that . i knew that , but then i went to visit dr . rolf in prison , and he told me what he did . ben : oh , he told you that jake was stefan ? gabi : yeah , yeah . yeah , he did . he told me that he snuck into the operating room and he saved stefan before they gave his heart to julie , and then he wiped his memory clear . jake : [ chuckles ] this is ridiculous . i know who i am . gabi : no , the memories that you think are yours , they are n't , okay ? rolf implanted them in your brain . jake : implanted ? memories ? resurrection ? what are you , lady ? watching too much `` black mirror `` ? gabi : oh , my gosh . you out of everybody should understand . you remember when -- when dr . rolf brought will back from the dead ? we -- we all thought that he was gone , but he brought him back without his memory . jake : who the hell 's will ? gabi : can you just -- [ grunts ] okay , that syringe that you have in your hand , it contains the same drug that rolf used on will ! ben : okay , did n't that same drug have all kinds of side effects and risks ? gabi : yes , but he perfected it now , and it 's not dangerous to use . jake : i do n't care . you 're not injecting me with whatever the hell that is . ben : i 'm not gon na let her inject you with this , and i 'm -- no -- nobody 's getting injected with this . gabi : you think i 'm doing something bad here ? this is a gift . this is a gift for stefan . this is a gift for all of us , okay ? please , do n't you remember ? stefan was the only person that hired you when nobody in this town wanted to talk to you . ben : yes , stefan did that . gabi : okay . all right . you do n't want to give me my syringe back ... well , then inject him with it . no , you owe him this gift to get his life back . this is hal . ben : there 's no way in hell that i 'm injecting him with a syringe full of god knows what . jake : thank you . finally , a voice of reason . ben : what i am doing is calling the cops . gabi : what ? jake : no , do n't do that . ben : what do you mean do n't do it ? you do n't want me to have her arrested ? jake : no , look , it 's just dealing with the cops , it 's always such a hassle . i just want to be rid of her , all right ?

[ dramatic music ] gabi : [ scoffs ] you think ben 's changed his mind about the cops ? jake : i asked him not to go . i think he 's gon na listen . so , if that 's why you 're hanging around , you can leave . gabi : i just have one more thing to say . jake : oh , here we go again . gabi : look , i mean , i ca n't force you to take that serum . i ca n't even force you to talk to me . jake : right , which is why you were going to inject me with this serum with my back turned to you . gabi : please , can you just listen ? okay , i know what it 's like to lose your memory . well , it did n't happen to me . it happened to the father of my child , but it was torture for him , okay ? for his family , for his daughter , for -- for his husband , but then he -- he took that drug , and he got his life back . his family , his daughter . you could have the same thing . jake : i have a life , and i 'm not miserable . gabi : [ scoffs ] this life that you 're living , it is n't real . do n't you want to know who you are , stefan ? jake : my name is not stefan . gabi : okay , all right . i know you -- you probably do n't remember this , but up until we finally admitted to each other that we loved each other , you were a miserable human being . jake : oh , great . gabi : okay , but you changed . we changed . we only had a few months together , and then it was over . you know , you -- you sacrificed yourself for your mother , who did not deserve it , and i hope she rots in hell someday , but we could -- we could be happy still . jake : okay . lady ... i understand that you had something special with this stefan guy , and you guys were in love and you had something passionate , and that 's all great , all right ? but i know who i am and i know my past , and it has nothing to do with you ! you are nothing to me ! gabi : i was everything to you . jake : let it go . gabi : i can't . i 'm not going to because i know who you are and i know what rolf did to you , and you 're gon na find out very soon . jake : i 'm done with this , all right ? so either get the hell out , or i 'll call the cops myself and have your pretty little ass thrown in jail !

unlike me , you 've always been so together . you never judged me . you were always fair . you were always there for me for as long as i can remember . i was really , really looking forward to going to columbia with you . i mean , for me , to have someone right there by me who was so prepared and smart -- i 've really missed you . belle : i 've missed you , too . cassie : she did n't mention your name for months . mimi : how would you know ? she does n't talk to you . cassie : ah , yes . she 's such a kind , generous sister . philip : so how 's sami ? belle : sami -- sami 's good . she and brandon are still together . chloe : i was so worried about him . brady : but now ?

nicole : nothing . i 'll take my business somewhere else . belle : excuse us . philip : dad , i wanted to tell you i was home , but i had to honor my contract with the show . it was supposed to be a surprise until tonight . victor : so you let your mother believe you were deployed overseas in harm 's way ? do you have any idea how hurt she was that you did n't call to say goodbye ? philip : but , dad , i never actually left . i was n't going to lie to her . besides , it 's not like i failed basic or disgraced myself or something . did you hear ? i got stationed here . v victor : yes . philip : plus , you know , i 'm glad i 'm not going to have to miss any more family stuff -- like your wedding . congratulations , by the way . victor : thank you . i 'll get nicole . you can tell her , too . philip : thanks . brady : phil . philip : brady . brady : welcome home . philip : thanks . brady : so , what 's with this whole sneaking into town thing ? you 're afraid we would n't be happy to see you ? philip : who would n't be happy -- you or chloe ? nancy : since when is philip back in town ? chloe : a while , i guess . he 's been the mystery guy on this dating show from the beginning . nancy : really ? i i have n't been watching . you 're going to have to fill me in . chloe : well , he chose belle as his date on the last show , and then he got to reveal his face . nancy : so all along , he knew it was belle ? chloe : mm - hmm , but she had no clue . in fact , i do n't think he told anyone that he was back in town . nancy : why ? chloe : i think it was in his contract , just like belle was n't allowed to say who won before the show aired , or she could have forfeited her $ 50,000 . nancy : they got $ 50,000 ? chloe : all the girls did . nancy : well , what did philip get out of it ? chloe : well , he said he just did it as p.r . for the marines . nancy : chloe , i do n't think america needs a game show to tell them that the men and women in our armed services are the best . chloe : i just know what he said . anyhow , it has nothing to do with me . > ancy ; : chloe , everything that boy did for two years was about you . chloe : that 's why i broke up with him . listen , mom , philip is a great guy , and what happened between us -- it was n't just his fault . i fell in love with brady , but i did n't know what choice to make . nancy : sweetheart , that 's because you were inexperienced . chloe : and so was he . he felt me slipping away , and that 's why he held on so tight . nancy : yes , but he was always jealous and possessive . chloe : but i cared about him . nancy : well , i just think that you should concentrate on your own recovery . i do n't want you worrying about him or his problems . chloe : why would i ? look , why are we even talking about this ? nancy : [ sighs ] chloe , what do you think philip 's going to do if he 's still in love with you ? brady : philip , nobody wants you off fighting where you can get hurt . philip : well , that 's what i signed up to do -- to defend my country . brady : then why the hell are you here ? philip : because i follow orders . brady : what , to do a dating show ? to stick your tongue down my sister 's throat while her boyfriend watches the whole thing ? philip : look , i 'm the eligible bachelor here . i did n't think belle would do the show if she was n't available . i did n't come here to hurt anybody 's relationship . i care about belle . i care about chloe , too . hey , i did n't come here to steal your girlfriend , brady . i 've moved on . i 'm a u.s. marine , okay ? honor , creed , country -- you can take my word . so chloe -- she 's doing okay , though ? brady : well , as far as dr . wesley is concerned , yeah , she 's doing great , which is why she sent me to tell you -- chloe wants you to see with your own eyes how well she 's doing , so you can put the past where it belongs and not worry about her . philip : she wants me to come see her ? brady : when you get the chance , yeah . just not tonight -- she 's home sleeping . philip : yeah , i do n't want to stress her out . the last thing i want to do is set back her recovery in any way . brady : good . i 'll see you around . philip : okay . see you . cassie : oh , my god . why did i never look twice that way before ? mimi : because he 's not your type . cassie : he 's rich , he 's smart , and he 's ... he 's fine . mimi : hands off . cassie : what , he does n't have a girlfriend . belle : well , i do n't have anything else to do here now , so want to get outta here ?

[ scene_break ] alex : you 're sure of your assignment ? patrick : you do n't even know if john will show up . alex : oh , yes , i do . john black would go through hell to find marlena . and i 've made it easier for him by leaving him a trail . oh , he 'll be here all right . when he shows up , you 're going to help me kill him . understand ? [ scene_break ] john : well , well , this is interesting . what are hope and patrick doing with them ? hello , fellow salemites . marlena : john . what are you doing here ? john : well , that question would be better directed to your husband since he wanted me here .

[ scene_break ] alex : call me antisocial , but i do n't believe i 'd invite your ex - husband to join us on our honeymoon ... under any circumstances ... especially after he just tried to kill me . hope : john , what are you doing here ? i know you 're worried about -- john : i 've been trying to track her down ever since north took her away on this so - called honeymoon . i put a tracking device on his jet . he tried to cross me up at first . he must have gotten wise to me , so somehow he jammed the transmission , right ? alex : oh , i 'm wise to you all right , john . marlena is , too . your stalking us day and night has terribly upset her . what do you think i did -- write him a postcard ? `` dear john , marlena and i miss you . wish you were here . `` john : it was n't exactly an engraved invitation . he simply had his real - estate agent call me , knowing that i 'd be able to track him down through her . and if that did n't work , he called me himself , you know , to goad . it 's kind of the game he 's been playing . marlena : is that true ? john : you 're damn right it 's true . he wanted me to find you . how else would i know where to look if he did n't deliberately let his guard down ? alex : all right , john . you 've got me . there 's no getting around it . i did call him . and , yes , i suppose i did want you to find us . [ scene_break ] maggie : jennifer , i thought things were going so well between you and frankie . i mean , when you called me from green mountain lodge , well , you said you were having a wonderful time . jennifer : i was having a wonderful time . things between us were great , and frankie and i were so comfortable ... together that we took our relationship further . maggie : well , that 's not a surprise . frankie -- he 's been crazy about you forever . and , well , he 's always been a part of your heart . jennifer : yes , but that was a huge step for me , aunt maggie . and maybe it was too huge . and i know it 's a little late to be saying this , but i think maybe i 'm getting cold feet . [ scene_break ] chelsea : what 's going on with my trial ? frankie : i thought it would be best if you two filled her in on what was going on . bo : we just found out that your trial date has been moved up . frankie : and we do n't have a lot of time to build your defense . chelsea : so it 's finally happening . hope 's gon na come back to salem and testify , and i 'm gon na be sent away to prison to rot . billie : do n't think that . bo : listen ... your mom and i are gon na do everything we can to keep that from happening . frankie : and i 'm gon na prepare a strong defense , but we all have to be realistic . i 'm not gon na lie . this is a difficult case . she was driving the car that killed zack , and she just drove off . she did n't stop . bo : and no one was more devastated by what happened than me , but it was an accident . chelsea : yeah , but hope does n't see it as an accident . she thinks i 'm a cold , heartless murderer and that 's all that the judge is gon na hear from her , so , hey . billie : maybe not . chelsea : what do you mean ? bo : i wish it were n't this way , but ... we 've decided not to tell hope about the change in the trial date . frankie : bo ... i know it 's your decision , and i promised myself i would n't say anything , but you 're making a huge mistake . [ scene_break ] marlena : alex , is that true ? were you trying to bait john ? why would you want to cause a problem ? alex : i was n't baiting him . i called the salem police department . he answered the phone . i had no idea that he was going to be there . hope : why were you calling the police department ? alex : i was hoping to talk to roman . marlena : roman ? why ? alex : i wanted to make sure that he was keeping john at bay , away from you and me . hope : was that really necessary ? i mean , if you were already down here in the islands , it 's definitely away from john . [ scene_break ] alex : the point is , i received a telephone call from my real - estate broker , the one who 's handling the sale of my cabin in the mountains . apparently , she received a phone call from john 's attorney , frankie brady , with an offer to buy your penthouse . marlena : the penthouse ? alex : it was n't a serious offer . he was trying to track us down any way he could . you see , he knew if he put in an offer on the penthouse , my broker would have to contact me with that offer . that 's how he found out where we are . am i right , john ? you had that telephone call traced , did n't you ? john : yeah , i traced the call . but you know what , north , i 've kind of got a problem here with this yarn that you 're spinning . for starters ... you did n't call roman . you called me on my cellphone . i just happened to be at the cop shop . you knew i was recording that conversation , and i was . and secondly , i did n't make a bid on marlena 's penthouse out of the blue as you want to make it seem . no , i got that idea from his agent , who called me telling me that he had put your penthouse on the market . marlena : you 're selling my home ? john : with everything in it -- all the furnishings , all your belongings . he was gon na sell your penthouse right out from underneath you . alex : that 's ridiculous . marlena agreed to sell it . as a matter of fact , it was her idea . i merely concurred . we both wanted to make a fresh start . john : really ? that 's interesting . you know , i had a conversation with kate , and she told me she was talking to marlena right before the two of you left , and marlena told kate that she was coming back to salem right after the honeymoon , so where in the hell was she supposed to live ? alex : we have n't decided that yet . but it was a mutual decision . marlena just does n't remember . john : really ? marlena , do n't you find that somewhat strange that you do n't remember that ? alex : she has amnesia , john . john : and she 's lost her ability to speak also ? marlena : i do n't [ chuckles ] i do n't remember the conversation exactly , but ... alex would never do the things you 're accusing him of doing . i know that . i know him . john : i can take care of that . [ scene_break ] hope : would you excuse us ? could i talk to you for a moment over here , please ? john , listen to me . you have got to calm down . ca n't you see what he 's doing ? he wants you to make a scene , to lose control . john : you 're right . he knows i have a short fuse when it comes to marlena . he likes to make me look bad in her eyes . it 's the same old game . so ... what 's going on with you ? what are you doing here ? better yet , what are you doing here with patrick lockhart ? hope : and you 're about to bring up bo and do n't . john , i do n't want to talk about him , and please i do n't want bo to know where i am . john : he 's going out of his mind . hope : i 'll explain everything later . right now , you need to get a grip . if you go after alex , it 'll only make things worse between you and marlena . john : yeah , yeah , i know . [ scene_break ] patrick : marlena , can i get you another drink ? marlena : no , thank you , patrick . i 'm fine . alex : believe me ... i 'm terribly sorry john tracked us down . marlena : do n't worry . i will not let him ruin our honeymoon . alex : that 's the spirit . marlena : if you men will excuse me ... i 'll be back in a few minutes . [ scene_break ] alex : we 're going to have to step up our plans . patrick : i thought you wanted john to follow you here . alex : i did , but things are starting to move too quickly . patrick : so what are you thinking ? alex : i 'm thinking john black needs to die tonight . [ scene_break ] john : it 's beautiful down here , hope . palm trees , the ocean breezes going on . ca n't enjoy any of it 'cause i 'm not here on a pleasure trip . i 'm genuinely concerned about marlena 's safety . hope : you did the right thing coming here . john : so you feel it , too . she 's in danger , is n't she ? hope : it 's like she 's a puppet and alex is pulling the strings . there was a moment she even admitted that he had some sort of control over her . john : she said that ? when ? hope : when i was talking to her earlier , then alex walked in , and that was the end of the conversation . but then the next time i spoke to her , she had no memory of it . i do n't know what he 's up to , but something 's definitely not right here . [ scene_break ] carrie : are you going to say something ? lucas : i , uh ... i do n't know what to say . it 's just ... totally the last thing i expected right now . carrie : oh , god . you think it 's my fault . i 've ruined everything . lucas : no , carrie , it 's not your fault , all right ? you have n't ruined a thing . we 're in this together . it 's just a lot to take in right now . [ scene_break ] sami : maybe we should go . austin : yeah , uh , yeah . whatever they 're dealing with , they do n't need us hanging around , right ? i 'll just leave a note for them . sami : good idea . [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] lucas : hey . austin : we were just gon na head out . lucas : no , no . no , that 's fine . um , stay . we ... actually have something to tell you . austin : is everything okay ? sami : is the wedding off ? lucas : no , the wedding 's not off . everything 's fine . it 's just , um , a few changes , a couple details , right ? go ahead , carrie , tell them . carrie : lucas and i are having a baby . sami : what ? carrie : i 'm pregnant . [ scene_break ] maggie : jennifer , your feeling is perfectly normal . jennifer : really ? you think so ? maggie : you and jack loved each other so much . and he has n't been gone that long . jennifer : oh , aunt maggie , it feels like he has been gone forever . i miss him so much . and i feel like this whole thing with frankie is just -- i feel like it 's moving so fast , and not just for me , but for my children . and something happened that is really making me think twice about what i am doing . maggie : what happened ? jennifer : oh , aunt maggie , abby walked in on frankie and me . we were in my bedroom . we were making love , and she walked in . maggie : oh , dear . so that must have been quite a shock . jennifer : yes , for all of us , trust me . this is something a mother never wants her daughter to see , ever . maggie : of course not . but these things happen . and abby is not a child anymore . i 'm sure that if you talk to her -- jennifer : i did , i did . i talked to her , and she seemed to handle it very well after the shock wore off . maggie : jack and abby had a very special relationship , so naturally it 's hard for her to see her mom with another man , but i 'm sure that she wants you to be happy . jennifer : yeah , she does . i just -- i feel guilty . i feel so guilty . like me being with frankie , i feel like i 'm letting down jack . i feel like i 'm letting down my children . maggie : this may come as a surprise , but i know exactly how you feel . jennifer : you do ? maggie : mm - hmm . i , uh , i went through something very similar , jennifer . [ scene_break ] bo : frankie , this is really none of your business . frankie : outside , bo , outside . what the hell was that ? this is my business . she 's my client , and you 're also my brother . bo : you told me it was in chelsea 's best interest if hope did n't come home . now , are you changing your legal advice ? you 're also hope 's divorce lawyer . it 's best for both of them if she did n't come back to town . frankie : you belong with hope . bo : she has moved on . she 's with lockhart now . i called her on her cellphone . he answered . when i talked to her , i asked her if she had slept with him . frankie : and ? bo : she did n't answer me . you and i both know if she had n't , she would have told me . frankie , she wants a divorce . she 's very adamant about going through with it . that 's that . frankie : bo , do n't give up . bo : do you think i want to ? i would give anything for this to be a big mistake , but obviously it 's not . [ scene_break ] chelsea : hope wrote my dad an e - mail asking him for a divorce . frankie : i know . chelsea : yeah , but what you do n't know is that ... i wrote her back pretending to be him ... telling hope that , that 's what my dad wanted , too . frankie : how could you do this to them ? [ scene_break ] bo : look , man , it kills me to have to say this , but it 's obviously over between hope and me . there is no way for us to salvage what we had , so i got to concentrate on what i can do something about and that 's my daughter 's future . chelsea : you and dad are the best , mom . billie : i do n't know about that , but we love you . chelsea : i still ca n't believe after everything i 've done , you guys are willing to go to bat for me . i mean , lying to hope -- billie : hey , we 're not lying to hope . we 're just not telling her about the court date . there 's a big difference . and besides , it 's not up to us . it 's up to the d.a . to tell her about that . chelsea : great , so then he 'll tell her and then my sorry butt will be back in the fire again . billie : no , i do n't think so , because i do n't think the d.a . knows where she is . chelsea : okay , well , maybe he does n't , but ... what about frankie and mickey ? i mean , they know where hope is . they can just pick up a phone and call and tell her . billie : mnh - mnh . that 's not gon na happen , either . chelsea : how do you know that ? they 're her lawyers , remember ? billie : frankie is hope 's divorce lawyer , but he represents you in this case , so if you do n't want him to tell her that the court date has been moved up , he is obligated not to say anything . chelsea : oh , my god . this means i might actually have a chance of staying out of prison . mom , thank you . [ scene_break ] john : so , you 've noticed a difference in marlena . hope : it 's hard not to notice . one minute she seems to remember her love for you . the next minute she 's singing alex 's praises . i do n't know . it 's really strange . john : well , not just strange . it 's frightening . tell me more . hope : well , when we first saw her , she had this faraway look . i asked her if she was all right , but before she had a chance to answer , alex appeared out of nowhere and answered for her . john : of course . he hovers over her like a hawk . hope : letting someone speak for her -- not marlena . john : never used to be . i 'm having a hard time with this , hope . you know , doc being so distant to me . hope : but not always . i just feel so bad that i did n't pick up on this earlier . i mean , when we were back in salem , i really did n't spend much time with marlena . and the few times we did run into each other , she seemed aloof . you know , i 've just been so preoccupied since zack 's death . john : of course you have . you 've had a lot to deal with in your life , hope . besides , marlena has been distant to everyone -- family , friends . it 's because north 's doing something to her , and i do n't know what it is . i do n't know -- mind control through -- i do n't know .. i just know that he is responsible for the way she 's been behaving . [ scene_break ] marlena : you 're right . alex is responsible . [ scene_break ] patrick : i 've been thinking -- i 'm not sure killing john is going to solve your problems . alex : i 'm not paying you to think . i 'm paying you to do a job . got it ? [ scene_break ] sami : oh , my god . you 're -- you 're gon na have a baby . that 's -- congratulations . carrie : it 's great . i mean , it 's a total surprise , but it 's a good one , right ? lucas : i think it 's the best . am i the man or what ? austin : yeah , hey , congratulations , little brother . lucas : thanks , thanks . austin : both of you , i 'm really happy for you . [ scene_break ] sami : hey , so , how long have you known ? carrie : well , i was feeling queasy the last couple mornings and i thought it might have something to do with my appendectomy , but i picked up a home- pregnancy test .. i did n't think that it would be positive , you know , but , um , then i started looking at these gowns , and i suddenly thought , `` what if ? `` i really overreacted , did n't i ? sami : well , no , i mean , i guess i can understand why you were so upset . that must have been it . carrie : it 's silly , i know . i 'm excited , i really am , but i love those gowns and now i 'm not gon na be able to wear any of them . sami : no , that 's not true . of course you could still wear them . you just have to get married sooner than later . you and lucas could get married right away . carrie : no , i want my mom to be there and john and marlena , eric , maybe brady , chloe . lucas : that 's fine . who says they ca n't be there ? carrie : lucas , they all have responsibilities and schedules . we have to give them time to make travel arrangements . [ scene_break ] sami : well , that 's a total cop - out . carrie : what ? sami : carrie , why are you stalling ? [ scene_break ] maggie : when mickey and i were married ... the first time ... he was sent on a business trip to venezuela . [ chuckles ] you know , it still gets to me . i received word that he had been killed in a plane crash . i think you were away at boarding school , but i 'm sure you heard about it . jennifer : i remember . uncle mickey disappeared for a while . the dimera 's were behind the whole thing . maggie : but we did n't know that at the time -- none of us . so here i was .. i thought i had lost my husband . and i was alone to raise my two daughters . sarah was -- she was a little girl , and melissa was a teenager . i was grieving so much . but there was a part of me that knew i had to pick up the pieces and make a life for myself and my children . i was still a young woman . but i did n't want to spend the rest of my life feeling sorry for myself . so , of course , the thought of going out with other men , dating -- oh , i did n't know if i could face that . jennifer : tell me about it . maggie : oh , and then along came don craig . he was someone that i could talk to . see , he was mickey 's law partner -- more his friend than mine . but we both missed mickey . and so we started spending time together . you know , it felt awkward at first . i knew .... that mickey was dead , but i felt like ... i was cheating on him . jennifer : right . right . the man you were married to , like you 're disrespecting his memory . maggie : mm - hmm . and when things between don and me got serious ... wow , my feelings became even stronger , my feelings of guilt . i knew i had to answer to my daughters ... but ... don and i fell in love , jennifer . jennifer : and then uncle mickey came back . maggie : yes . he came back . and it was n't easy sailing for any of us . jennifer : i just wish i had half your strength , aunt maggie . maggie : you do . you 're a horton , remember that . jennifer : i do n't feel very much like a horton right now . maggie : jennifer [ sighs ] it did n't come easy . here i thought i lost my husband , but i had an awful lot of support from a very wise woman ... a woman who gave me the same advice i just gave to you . jennifer : who was that , aunt maggie ? [ scene_break ] billie : hey , listen . we ca n't be overconfident . just because we 're not gon na tell hope about the date change does n't mean you 're out of the woods . chelsea : yeah , i know that , but hope is my biggest worry , so if she 's not gon na be in that courtroom , then the trial 's gon na go a lot better for me . [ scene_break ] frankie : there 's nothing more i can say to persuade you ? bo : i 'm not calling hope . frankie : it 's wrong . she should be there , and you know it . bo : you know what she 'll say at the trial if she testifies . she 'll make chelsea out to be some kind of monster . frankie : and i 'll put you on the stand to paint a different picture . bo : oh , you think that 's gon na help our relationship out ? frankie : have you even thought about the consequences when hope finds out that you kept the trial date from her ? bo : i 'm hoping she does n't find out . frankie : she 's going to , and when she does , you 're gon na lose her forever . [ scene_break ] maggie : [ chuckles ] alice : i 'm so glad the two of you are still here . maggie : well , we 're so happy your quilting bee ended early . jennifer : i am especially . it 's so good to see you , gram . maggie : your timing is perfect . i was just giving jennifer the same advice you gave me all those years ago . in fact , i remember your exact words . `` maggie , you are too young to wear widow 's weeds . `` alice : oh , i guess i was wise in those days , huh ? maggie : oh , you are still so wise . no , i was just trying to do for jennifer what you did for me . alice : maggie 's right , dear . you ca n't let jack 's memory stop you from living . maggie : you are a beautiful woman with so much to offer . and if you love frankie ... alice : and we know you do . maggie : ... you must n't let him go . [ chuckles ] jennifer : i am so thankful for both of you , and i love you both ... so very much , and i appreciate you trying to help , but i need to go . i need to pick up jack jr. , so goodbye . goodbye , aunt maggie . thank you . [ scene_break ] alice : you did forget one thing , maggie . maggie : hmm , what 's that ? alice : you may have followed your heart in taking up with don craig ... maggie : oh , i know what you 're gon na say . but in my case , mickey came back from the dead , so i guess that was n't a very good example , was it ? but we both know that jennifer is not gon na have to worry about that . [ scene_break ] bo : look , man , even if i tried to contact hope , she would n't listen to anything i have to say , and i 'm not the one who broke things off . she is . i 'm just following her request , not to talk to her ever again . hey ... feeling better ? chelsea : yeah . i 'm actually just gon na head out . bo : okay , all right . we 'll see you . talk to you soon . [ scene_break ] frankie : yeah . you seem happy . where you off to ? chelsea : i 'm just gon na go see max . frankie : oh . could i ask you something ? not as your lawyer , as your uncle . if you were in hope 's shoes and you lost a child , would n't you want to be at the trial ? i mean , people -- people talk about closure , and i know it 's a cliché . she needs it . as a mother , she 's entitled to it . chelsea : look , i know that hope is in a lot of pain , and trust me , i feel for her . i really , really do . but if she was thinking about zack , she ought to know that the little guy would n't want his big sister ... to go to jail for an accident . just think about that , frankie , okay ? [ scene_break ] marlena : i 'd like you both to listen to me . i 'm a new person . i 'm a happier person . that 's because of alex . he 's shown me what love can truly be . john : if you do n't know what your life was like before , how can you really say that you 're happier now ? you were happy with me , doc . we had a family . we had a great life together . just ask hope , she 'll tell you . hope : it 's true . marlena : i 'm sorry . but it ca n't compare to the way i feel now . and that 's because alex has shown me steadfast love . john : damn it , doc ! i love you more ! ca n't you see that ? !

[ scene_break ] lucas : sit down . you , um , would you mind if i ask you something ? will : sure . lucas : well , it 's kind of awkward , i do n't really know how to put this , but , um ... what about mia and gabi ? did you have feelings for them , or were you just kind of pretending ? will : well i -- i definitely thought i had feelings for them . um , and i was happy , you know , for a while because i thought that if i had feelings for them it would mean i was n't gay . lucas : right . will : uh , and i just , you know , i did n't want to be , i wanted to be like everybody else . lucas : so what changed things for you ? will : well , um , mia cheated on me with chad . and that was my fault , but , uh , i think with gabi , i convinced myself that if i tried hard enough or whatever , i could make it work . but the longer i was with her , the more i realized that that was stupid . lucas : and that 's when you ended things ? will : no , i did n't have the courage to do that . gabi realized something was wrong and she actually had to end things with me . lucas : oh . oh , i see . what about sonny ? will : sonny 's been incredibly supportive . and he really helped me and ... uh , i do n't know where i 'd be without him . lucas : well , i think it 's great that -- that you have a good friend like that , but it just kind of leaves me wondering , you know ? will : mm - hmm , wondering what ? lucas : well , are you together ? are you and sonny a couple now ? i mean , how does that work ? [ scene_break ] ej : oh , samantha , come on , do n't be absurd . people are born gay . you ca n't control whether they 're attracted to a man or a woman . sami : are you sure about that ? because he has been resentful of me for a long time . he always says that he ca n't count on me . maybe i did something . maybe he feels like women ca n't be trusted . ej : you know that 's not the case . darling , um , if poor mothering made children gay , then all off kate 's children would be running around waving rainbow flags at pride festivals . right ? sami : you 're right . ej : okay . sami : [ chuckles ] i 'm just trying to make sense of this . i just do n't understand . ej : i can appreciate that it 's a big adjustment , but william being gay is hardly the end of the world . i mean , unless you 're ... uncomfortable with his sexuality . [ scene_break ] brady : to sum up my plan , it 's basically two words , serge , okay ? i 'm talkin ' about sales . hmm ? serge : wait , that 's only one word . what 's the other ? brady : [ imitates accent ] why do the french always quibble over details ? listen , listen , listen . i 'm summing it up for you here . it 's really simple . pricing . we 're going with pricing . all right ? serge : i thought it was sales . madison : you know , i think what brady -- what brady means to say is that we 're gon na improve sales because we 're undercutting the competition because they get two things for the price of one . they get cosmetics . they get accessories -- brady : yeah , not to interrupt you , but , um , honey , that 's actual not what i was talking about , that has nothing to do with what i was talking about . do n't confuse the guy . serge : i 'm afraid you 've lost me . uh , let 's start over the whole -- brady : we should start over . kate : oh ! brady : whoa , whoa , sorry . hey , oh ! it 's -- it 's a party now . it 's a party . he can handle a little water . he 's a big boy . serge : i can , but this jacket ca n't . brady : yes , it can . hey , i 'm gon na buy you 18 of those jackets after the profits from this deal come through . anyway , do n't worry about it . serge : you do n't need to buy another one . this is a one - of - a - kind jacket made specially for me by the designer -- brady : [ imitates accent ] designer . okay , we 'll ask the designer to get you another one . [ scene_break ] madison : could you please take brady outside for me ? nicole : okay , i would be happy to . madison : so good . brady : i 'm sorry , i apologize . nicole : hey , brady , brady . brady : i apologized to him . nicole : let 's go do that thing i was telling you i wanted to do . brady : i 'm sorry . it 's gon na come out . nicole : just relax . [ scene_break ] madison : i am so sorry that , that happened . i mean , brady was just -- i think he was a little nervous about the meeting . serge : i am not . here 's the bottom line . you and kate are great . but brady is clearly a liability . with him onboard , i ca n't support this project . [ scene_break ] will : dad , um , sonny and i are just friends . lucas : yeah will : just 'cause two guys are gay does n't make them couple . lucas : right , right . no , you 're right . i realize that . it 's just , you know , when i saw you guys at the coffee house together , i just assumed that maybe ... w , will : that was the day when you said you did n't want people to get the wrong impression about me . lucas : yeah , yeah , i did -- i did say that , did n't i ? will : that 's okay . i mean ... at the time it hurt because it made me think that .. you would think less of me if you knew i was gay . lucas : right , uh , i 'm sorry about that . i did n't -- i did n't mean that the way it should . and i hate to admit it , but , um ... when i saw you guys at the coffeehouse together , i kinda had a feeling you might be gay . maybe i was just saying that to make myself feel better , to reassure myself . will : that it was n't true . that i was n't , because deep down you really hoped i was n't , did n't you ? [ scene_break ] sami : i am not homophobic , if that is what you are trying to say . i love my son . it does n't matter what his sexuality is . ej : okay . so then why are you having such a hard time and why did you walk out on him ? sami : because i was shocked . okay , i should have known . you 're right , i should have known , and i ca n't believe i did n't know and then i just could n't -- i could n't stand there and face the fact that i was failing him again . ej : so your -- your solution to this is to abandon him when he feels most vulnerable . sami : i did n't know what i was doing . all i heard was him ... and what he was saying , and i heard his voice echoing in my head that ... that i did n't know him at all . and that ... i did n't understand and that i would n't be able to handle it , and he 's right . do you realize what i have learned about my son today ? that i found out that he shot you in the back . i found out that lucas covered for him and they both knew about it the whole time . i found out that you even knew and that you were blackmailing him all these months . do you realize how much i have had to take in about my son this morning ? ej : look , samantha . i can appreciate you do n't feel very connected to your son at the moment . but you are missing my point . sami : how so ? ej : this is not about you . this is about william , and right now he needs you . [ scene_break ] vladimir : i have been in this business a long time . why have n't i heard of any one of you before ? bo : we like to keep a low profile . vladimir : hmm . well , if you and your lovely wife are part of this large purchase , you wo n't be a low profile for long . john : does that mean that you 're interested ? vladimir : i 'm willing to hear what you have to offer . but i warn you , i do n't like games , and if i feel like you 're playing a game , this wo n't end well for any of you . not even for lovely charity . [ scene_break ] brady : i 've got ta go back in the meeting ; i 've got ta go back in there . nicole : no , no , no , you 're -- brady : was on a roll until the whole water thing . nicole : i total i understand that . brady : fine . [ scene_break ] madison : brady , what is going on ? are you drunk ? brady : why does everybody keep asking me that stupid question ? nicole : i mean , he said he has n't been drinking . i do n't smell alcohol on his breath , i ... madison : then what 's going on ? are you high on something ? brady : excuse me , excuse me . i 've been clean for years . so stop with the accusations , all right ? madison : listen , i know that you 've been really upset about your father . you 're going through a tough time right now , but that was not acceptable . i mean , you just made an ass out of yourself ; out of all of us . brady : madison , hey . i 'm fine . do n't worry about me . [ scene_break ] ian : well . madison : what are you talking about ? ian : how did the meeting go ? madison : oh , it 's , um , brady 's not feeling well . something 's going on with him . kate 's inside . she 's still finishing up . she 's gon na close the deal . so why do n't you and i -- we 'll go for a walk . i 'm gon na fill you in . ian : what about brady ? brady : brady 's fine . brady 's fine . nicole : i 'll take brady home and make sure he 's okay . madison : okay . ian . ian : hope you feel better , old boy . madison : come on . [ scene_break ] lucas : when i found out that you were my son , it was -- it was the best day of my life . really , it was the best thing that 's every happened to me , but i mean , i got ta be honest with you ... i did n't say to myself , `` gee , i hope my son grows up to be gay . `` i did n't say that . it 's just -- it 's just not the kind of life i expected for you . will : honestly , i had not expected it either , but it 's just the hand i 've been dealt . you and i have to learn that i can be happy playing it . that my life can be just as full and just as crappy as any straight person 's . lucas : exactly , that 's exactly what i want for you . will : okay . thanks . you know , it 's taken me way too long , but i can finally say that i 'm okay with me being gay . can you ? [ scene_break ] ej : william is going through a lot , samantha , and he really needs his mother right now . the question is , are you up to the job ? sami : you have forgotten that will hates me . ej : he does n't hate you . if he hated you , he would n't have told you about this in the first place . sami : he told me because was mad . he was just trying to spite me . ej : look , even if that 's the case -- sami : so what if i did have a chance and i blew it ? what if i just blew it by walking out on him the way i did ? ej : you need to find out . go to william , samantha , and listen to him . listen , sweetheart . [ scene_break ] vladimir : your offer is very generous . but my original buyer may be upset if i back out of our deal . john : well i believe that there 's enough in here to compensate you for any trouble . vladimir : i was never one to pass up a good bargain . john : ah . [ scene_break ] [ phone rings ] john : so do we have a deal ? vladimir : i believe so .

hope : he wanted to change , and someone took that opportunity away from him . maybe that call will help us find whoever did that . will : sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . rafe : what were you saying about nick 's last words ? marlena : nick left me a voice message last night ... rafe : huh . marlena : just as he was being shot . jordan : i barely knew him , but the way he came walking into the square covered in blood ... i had nightmares last night . ben : well , if you had known him , you 'd probably feel a whole lot better about the whole thing . jordan : ben ! ben : come on . someone shot and killed nick fallon last night , and except for those two aunts or whatever , no one else cared . jordan : including his cousin abigail ? ej : abigail . daniel : why do n't you explain this , nicole ? nicole : uh , i do n't -- i do n't know what you 're talking about . daniel : oh , i think you do . and it 's time for you to come clean . will : nick called you ? what did he say ? marlena : he was reaching out . he was asking about counseling . will : [ chuckles ] what ? rafe : yeah , or pretending to . hope : will , what are you doing here ? will : i needed to talk to you about something . hope : okay . rafe : do you want me to stay ? will : no , i 'll be okay . thanks . rafe : all right . marlena , good to see you . marlena : yes , you too , rafe . are you okay ? will : sure . marlena : call me as soon as you 're done . promise ? okay . hope : so , will ... what did you want to talk to me about ? will : it 's about nick . um ... right before he was shot , i ... threatened to kill him . ej : look , i really wanted to check in , you know , but ... abigail : but you did n't quite know how to explain checking in with me to your fiancée ? ej : well , yeah . and you were with that -- you know , that nice chap . it looked like you were well taken care of . abigail : [ scoffs ] oh , so -- so no worries , then , right ? ej : hey , i think you 're in shock . abigail : no , i - i was in shock . i was in shock ... but i should n't have been . god , i should 've known by now . i should 've wised up and faced the facts . ej : what facts exactly ? abigail : the facts of who you are and the things that you do , the fact that as soon as nick let you know he knew about us , he was as good as dead . [ telephone ringing ] jennifer : oh . hmm . that must be daniel , but he usually calls my cell . hold on . hello ? oh , caroline , hi . yeah . yeah , it is sad about nick . well , thank you very much . that is so kind of you . caroline , that is not true . are you forgetting that nick let you take the fall for a crime that he committed ? come on . listen , and when he got out of prison , you gave him a job . you gave him a place to stay . you were so generous to him . listen , you want to talk to eric ? he 's here with me . yeah , hold on . eric : hey , grandma . yeah , i 'm glad you called . i was gon na call you later , actually . grandma , please . do n't do this to yourself . come on , you did everything you could for nick . yes , everything you could . nicole : i told you , i do n't know what you 're talking about . i do n't -- i do n't know what these are . daniel : you barely looked at them , nicole . look at them . nicole : okay . all right . oh , my god . this proves that chyka gave kristen the drugs to seduce eric . this clears his name . daniel : yeah , that 's right . that 's exactly what it does . nicole : i do n't know where you found these , but thank god you did . daniel : really ? really ? `` thank god `` ? nicole : of course . daniel : so you 're saying -- you 're saying you 've never seen these before ... and you 're glad that we have them now . nicole : yes , of course i am . i mean , if i had seen these , i would have shown them to eric . i would have told him . in fact , you know what ? i 'm gon na do that right now . daniel : nicole , stop . for your own sake , just stop . marlena : rafe ? rafe : yeah . marlena : hi . do you have a minute ? rafe : yeah , sure . marlena : well , um , i wanted to ask , is -- is will in a lot of trouble ? rafe : no , no , no . everything 's gon na be fine . but i will let him fill you in on the details , okay ? marlena : sure . rafe : by the way , have you seen allie ? 'cause she was pretty shaken up after last night . marlena : yes , lucas is taking her to see a colleague of mine . rafe : good . glad to hear . i actually think my sister should see someone as well . marlena : well , i 'd be glad to give you a name . rafe : marlena ? marlena : hmm ? rafe : i was hoping that you could check up on her , if it 's not too much to ask . i do n't know if she 'll talk to a stranger . i 'm really worried about her . marlena : it is not too much to ask . rafe : oh , good . marlena : she 's like family to me . i 'm -- i 'm glad to help . rafe : thank you . thanks . it 's just that he , uh ... nick did quite a number on her before he died , and , um ... i 'm just glad that he 's not around to hurt my sister anymore or will or ari or anyone , for that matter . whoever killed him did us all a favor . marlena : it sounds like you think he deserved to die . hope : interviewing william horton , my office . william ... you just stated that you threatened to kill nick fallon . can you tell me why ? will : w - we were fighting . hope : a physical fight ? will : i started it , but we were both throwing punches when rafe broke it up . hope : detective hernandez . will : that 's right . hope : okay , so , again , i 'll ask you ... what were you arguing about ? will : well , it -- it was what sonny and i had told you before . nick had convinced gabi to draw up a custody agreement , and in it , it stated that i would only be able to visit arianna every other weekend . he was trying to take my daughter from me ... again . he said that i was unfit to be a father . so i punched him . but i did n't kill him . hope : i have to ask . where were you last night at 8 : 45 p.m. ? will : is that -- hope : that 's when nick was shot . ej : look , um ... i know you 're upset , obviously , but you really just need to calm down . abigail : `` calm down `` ? you want me to calm down ? ej : i think you 're overreacting . abigail : `` overreacting `` ? you think that i 'm overreacting ? i stood there in my mother 's office when you told me that -- that i had to keep my mouth shut , that i could n't tell her the truth , and -- ej : are n't you glad you did n't say anything now ? abigail : you swore to me that nick could be reasoned with , that you would convince him that he should n't say anything about us . ej : okay , do me a favor . keep your voice down . abigail : you promised me that our secret would stay secret . you really kept your promise , did n't you ? nicole : daniel ? daniel ! why are you talking to me like this ? why are you looking at me like -- i have never seen these papers before in my life . daniel : well , i am looking at you like you 're lying . nicole : why ? what ? no . i 'm confused ... upset , hurt . i have no idea where these papers came from . daniel : well , i went on to smith island to look for jennifer 's necklace . while i was searching in the woods , i found them there . nicole : smith island ? that -- this does n't make any sense . daniel : oh , i think it does . see , at first , i thought you lost them there . but then i started thinking about how weird you were with liam . you said you were investigating him because he drugged me . nicole : he did drug you , and you know it , and he was crazy and obsessed about jennifer . daniel : no , no , no , you were right about him . but in spite of all of your excuses , i never really understood why you did n't tell me that you suspected him , but then i realized he had something on you . yeah , he had these on you . yeah ? he blackmailed you to keep you quiet . nicole : no , no , no . you 've got it all wrong . daniel : do i ? well , what about that paper that i found in your hotel months ago , the one that was taped back together because it had been shredded , kind of like this one right here ? you said you thought it came from stefano to mess with eric 's head , but that was n't true , because all along , you had evidence to prove eric 's innocence , and you did n't say a single word ? will : i 'm not sure exactly where i was at that time . i - i know that i was returning a book at the library . hope : which library ? will : salem u . hope : where 'd you go from there ? will : straight to the town square . hope : any stops along the way ? will : no . hope : were you alone ? will : yes . hope : did anyone see you ? will : not anybody that i know . i was on campus . there 's -- hope : do you own or have access to a gun ? will : no . i mean -- hope : you mean what ? will : i mean , i know people . hope : will , did you have a gun last night in your possession ? will : no . i did n't kill nick , hope . i did n't . hope : okay . that 's it for now . thank you for coming in . you saved me a call . i 'm sure sonny told you that i 'll be questioning everyone in the square last night . will : you talked to sonny ? he was here ? hope : i did . will : i did n't know that . i 'm telling you the truth . you do believe me , do n't you ? hope : will , the reality is , right now ... i ca n't rule out anyone as a suspect . ben : she -- she was in shock , just numb . it looked like she did n't care , but she did . jordan : i 'm not judging . i 'm just making an observation . i like abigail . she 's my friend . looks like you like her too . ben : she 's nice . jordan : so last night at the hospital -- i did n't know you two were so close . ben : we 've talked before . look , i - i walked in on her and nick . he was being a real jerk , like he was out to upset her . jordan : and you stood up for her , did n't you ? tell me , galahad , did you get into a fight with him ? ben : i just stood up for her . jordan : right . ben , do you still have that gun ? ej : abigail ... you know how many enemies nick had . abigail : yes , i do . a lot of people had motive , ej , but you had something different , did n't you ? your daddy 's contact list . god , it is so like you to do this , to handle things so professionally . ej : that 's not how it happened . abigail : no , it 's not . but what happened , i know . what happened is that nick threatened you , and then he ended up eliminated . and the way that he died had dimera written all over it . [ gasps ] ej : abigail ... you know me . i swear to you ... i would never do that to nick . i swear to you . okay ? okay ? okay , good . abigail : i do -- i do know you . i know you very well . and i know ... that you are a world - class liar . ej : yes , i am . nicole : why would i track down chyka ? why would i risk my life to find that proof and then not show eric when i found it ? daniel : okay , as i said before , i think you meant it at the time . but obviously something changed . so what happened when i left with stefano 's thug , when you were alone there with chyka ? did he offer you evidence in exchange for his freedom ? nicole : no . i swear to you , he overpowered me . daniel : well , then you must have gotten the evidence after he left . nicole : daniel , you have to listen to me , okay ? i - i - i do n't know what this is . i do n't know where these papers came from , okay ? i mean , maybe ... wait a minute . stefano , maybe -- maybe he was behind this ... and kristen . they 're trying to frame me . daniel : a conspiracy , huh ? nicole : yes . it 's the only explanation . i would never betray eric . i mean , please , you have to stop with these horrible accusations , daniel , for the sake of our friendship . why ca n't you believe me ? rafe : ah , i would n't say that nick deserved to die . it 's just that the guy ... well , he just went around sticking his thumb in people 's eyes . the way he treated will -- marlena : the way he treated will ? is that why will wanted to see hope ? rafe : like i said , i 'll let him fill you in on the details . marlena : i guess we ca n't ignore the fact that will had a very strong motive . rafe : well , he was n't the only one . i spent half a year in a damn hospital bed because a guy thought i was nick and tried to beat me to death . the day that guy got out of jail , he hated nick so much , he came back to town to exact revenge . i just get the feeling that nick had that effect on a whole hell of a lot of people . marlena : you mean prisoners , or you mean people of salem ? rafe : i do n't know . and i do n't really care . i 'm just glad he 's out of my sister 's life for good . ben : so you really think i shot that guy last night . jordan : no , i do n't think that , and i did n't say that . but i want to know about that gun , because if the police find out about it -- ben : jordan , you know why i have that gun . jordan : yeah , and i also know you do n't have a permit for it . and if anyone finds out , it 's gon na raise a lot of questions that wo n't be good for either one of us . ben : then let 's make sure that no one does find out about it . jordan : just please be careful , okay ? not just for my sake , but for yours . hope : yeah , these photos are pretty revealing . you 've been very helpful . thank you . [ knock at door ] hope : ej . have a seat . thanks for coming in . your attorney meeting you here ? ej : if this is about last night , i do n't really feel i need my attorney here . hope : consider yourself advised . ej : [ laughs ] yes , thank you , detective . i know my rights . hope : this is for the record . interviewing ej dimera , may 15 , 2014 , my office . well , ej , i have recently received some very interesting photos of you and my cousin , and i 'm hoping you can explain them . jennifer : eric , i lost that horton thing -- that thing that is so important to my grandmother ... that no matter what you 're going through , you do n't lose track of your family . and i lost track of nick . eric : did he ever ask something of you , and you turned him down ? i mean , did he ever try reaching out , and you turned your back on him ? jennifer : no , but i 'm the grown - up . i should have reached out to him . eric : and he 's a grown - up too . he made a lot of terrible , terrible choices , and he did n't have any regard for anybody else 's feelings about them . jennifer : that does n't sound very priestlike . eric : god does say forgive . so forgive nick . forgive yourself . you had a lot on your plate . jennifer : yeah , i 'll try . thank you for listening . i mean , as you can imagine , with what nick did to melanie , it 's not easy to have a conversation with daniel about him . daniel : i really do want to believe you , but i ca n't . nicole : why ? i thought you were my friend . daniel : damn it , i am your friend , and as your friend , i know you . i know you want to admit the truth . nicole : i 'm telling you the truth . daniel : you have been lying . nicole : no . daniel : for months , you have been lying . remember when you came back here with that bag of shredded paper , and you would n't even let me touch it . you had just shredded those papers , had n't you ? nicole : if i shredded them , why in the hell would i have saved them ? daniel : because as i 'd said before , you knew what you 'd done wrong . you told me that those papers could save somebody , and you , you were talking about eric . you realized what you had done to him , his future , his soul -- what you had done to the man you loved . nicole : please stop it . daniel : you shredded the papers . you put 'em back together . and a good person ... does that for the person they love . and that 's why you kept having the impulse to tell me . you tried . you 'd do it , then you 'd back off , and you wanted to do it again , because you wanted to tell me , because it is eating away at you , and it still is . so please just tell me the truth . tell me ! nicole : [ whimpers ] [ crying ] okay . okay , it 's true . all of it is true . i could 've cleared eric , and i did n't . that 's -- [ sobbing ] that 's what i did to the best man that i 've ever known . i 'm sorry . unwrap your paradise . jordan : [ gasps ] rafe : hey . jordan : hey . what are you doing here ? what 's with the flowers ? rafe : well , those flowers are about last night . thank you for being so nice to gabi . jordan : oh , i did n't do anything . rafe : you did . jordan : poor gabi . do you have any idea who did it ? rafe : no . no , hope 's questioning everyone who was in the square last night , but , um , no real leads . jordan : well , i know you took yourself off the case , but ... rafe : but what ? jordan : rafe , who do you think killed nick ? abigail : i - i just ... i just wanted to say thank you for last night . you were really sweet . ben : how you doing today ? abigail : a little , um , numb and a little shaky , but ... okay , i 'm -- i 'm lying . i - i 'm in definite caffeine withdrawals . ben : well , you know i can help you with that . there you go . abigail : thank you . [ sighs ] ben : you 're not okay . abigail : [ sighs , chuckles ] [ sighs ] hope : you do n't seem too anxious to turn those over , ej . ej : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] it just looks like nick fallon leaving his office . hope : it was taken by mad world security cameras . nick looks upset , do n't you think ? take a look at the next one . that 's you leaving his office about a half minute later . you also look upset , one might even say angry . ej : mm - hmm . what is your point , detective ? hope : my point ... these photos were taken the day that nick fallon was murdered . now , of course , on one hand , it could be a coincidence . ej : mm - hmm , and on the other hand ? hope : and on the other hand , you may want to rethink having your attorney present after all . daniel : why did n't you tell eric ? nicole : i meant to . i swear it . i meant to . after chyka escaped , i - i found the evidence in his safe . i was so happy . i - i rushed back to salem , and eric came over , and i was gon na give him the documents . daniel : and ? eric : and then he told me ... he told me he left the priesthood to be with me . do you have any idea how long i 've been waiting to hear that ? and i just -- i could n't -- i could n't do it . i mean , it was ... i kept telling myself -- i kept telling myself , `` you have to give him the papers , `` and i could n't . i - i just could n't . i know it was so selfish . but i told myself , `` he 's already made the decision , so what difference does it make ? `` daniel : the difference would be that eric could prove to everyone -- the church , his parishioners , his family -- that kristen raped him . nicole ... it changes everything . nicole : i know . that 's what i was afraid of . me ? dramatic ? no . daniel : how did liam get a hold of these papers ? nicole : you had said that this was eating at me . and it was . it was -- it was driving me crazy , and , you know , one time , i was gon na undo everything . i mean , i got the papers , and i was putting them together , but it was so frustrating . it was awful work , and the whole time i was doing that , i just kept hearing this voice saying , `` you 're never gon na give eric these papers . you could lose him . `` daniel : liam ? nicole : hope told me that chyka 's case was closed ... and i was -- i was still crazy , and so i ... i took the papers that i had shredded that night to this rest stop , and i was going to burn them , and that 's when liam showed up . daniel : he followed you . nicole : i guess so . i did n't even know who he was . he told me he was a fan , and he had seen me on tv . i men , he must have followed me ... because he -- i mean , i was figuring out what he was doing to you and jennifer . daniel : and blackmailed you with these . he blackmailed you -- well , he blackmailed you into not telling me or jennifer the name of the man who was out to ruin our lives . nicole : daniel , if anything happened to either one of you , i would never have forgiven myself . daniel : okay , wait a minute . you shot liam . was that to keep him quiet ? nicole : no . no , daniel , i was trying to save your life . do you have any idea how much you mean to me ? you 're my best friend in the whole world , and now you hate me , and you 're never gon na forgive me , and why should you ? daniel : you 're wrong , nicole . i do forgive you . eric : see , the thing is , is that i have n't told my mom or sami about the engagement yet . jennifer : okay , so are you asking me to help you smooth the waters a little bit ? eric : i was thinking you could tell them . tell them that nicole is changed . she 's not the person she was . jennifer : no , you 're right . i mean , i 'll do what i can . and my words may hold some weight , you know ? nicole and i -- we have a past , but we are great friends now . eric : right , because the only reason nicole was like that was because she was unhappy , but that -- that 's changed . jennifer : i know it 's changed . i have never seen her as happy as she is today . eric : me too . jennifer : right , so why are we sitting here talking about this , because the two of you have so much to celebrate , and we need to get out of here right now . eric : [ laughs ] marlena : and you know that rafe was right . it 's good that you went straight to hope and told her what happened with nick . will : it ended up with me being interviewed on tape . marlena : that 's her job . she will interview everybody involved with the case . well , not everyone involved in the case threatened to kill him . marlena : he was threatening you too . look , the two of you did n't get along , and it only got worse -- will : did n't get along ? i hated him . i 'm glad he 's dead . abigail : i hate that you 're using your break time to keep me from falling apart . ben : even though you had what seemed to be a pretty intense relationship with him , your cousin was murdered last night . i - i just -- i think you could use a friend . abigail : you were ... you were right last night . i do feel guilty . ben : i think it 's just hard because of the way things ended between the two of you . abigail : [ sighs ] oh , god . i wish that -- oh , i should 've ... i should 've tried harder to work things out with him , you know ? maybe if i would 've just kept my cool , then none of this would have ever happened . ben : it 's not your fault , abigail . nick 's murder had nothing to do with you . abigail : no ? because i 'm not so sure . ej : those photographs do n't prove anything . you must really be desperate . hope : just tell me what you and nick were arguing about and stop wasting my time . ej : look , who says nick and i were arguing ? [ laughs ] do you have a source ? okay ... nick and i had a minor disagreement . hope : oh , yeah . i mean , the fact that you went to his office , felt that you had to speak to him face - to - face , makes it seem like something serious . ej : it was business . it had come to my attention that , uh , some of the ideas he was developing for mad world cosmetics were ... uncannily similar to some of the projects i 'd been working on at countess wilhelmina . hope : so nick could have cost you a lot of money ? possibly millions ? some might call that a motive . ej : well , some might also call it rather shoddy police work , detective . i tell you what -- let 's play your game , okay ? let 's just say that 's my motive . the problem you 're going to have is you ca n't prove opportunity . samantha and i were wandering around the horton town square when the poor lad was shot , and there are plenty of upstanding citizens who i 'm sure would be quite happy to attest to that . hope : oh , yeah , i 'm sure there are . but i would not assume for a second that ej dimera would do his own dirty work . so , if it turns out we can prove that this was a professional hit , i think you and i both know there were very few people in that square with those kind of connections . nicole : thank you . daniel , thank you so much . you have no idea how much your forgiveness means to me . daniel : i know how much you struggled with what you 've done . and i know how much you love eric . nicole : i do . i do , and i 'm gon na make him really happy -- really , really happy . so you 're not gon na tell him , are you ? daniel : no . you are . rafe : well , a lot of people hated nick ... so i 'd be hard - pressed to narrow down the suspects . the ironic thing is , if i were still working the case , you know who i 'd put at the top of the list ? jordan : who ? rafe : me . ej : i suppose i should have known it would only be a matter of time before you tried to pin this crime on my family , no matter how far the reach . detective ... [ clears throat ] if you have any legitimate questions you would like to ask me ... you know where to find me . [ door closes ] marlena : you do n't mean that . you are not capable of that kind of hatred . will : are you sure about that ? he said that i was n't fit to be a father ... that he was going to try to take my daughter away from me . if rafe had n't have pulled me off of him right then and there , i might have killed him . instead ... marlena : instead what ? is there something you are trying to tell me ? hope : julie , i know that nick was pointing to someone after he collapsed , but the problem is ... no one can tell me who he was pointing at . of course ... it 's gon na take time to question everyone . ben : [ sighs ] it 's like i keep making things worse . do you want me to just go ? abigail : no . no , please , do n't go . stay with me . it 's not you . it 's just -- i just do n't know how i 'm ever gon na forgive myself for what happened to nick . ben : you 're too hard on yourself . you 're a good person . abigail : no , i 'm not . ben : yes , you are . look , i know we have n't known each other that long , but i already know that you 're an amazing person with a really kind heart . i 've never met anyone like you . nicole : daniel , i ca n't tell eric . we 're gon na be married . daniel : which is even more reason to come clean . do you want your whole marriage to be based on a lie ? nicole : it wo n't be . it 'll be based on love . daniel : no , we 're not negotiating this . either you tell eric what you 've done , or i will . nicole : no , you ca n't do this . i wo n't let you . daniel : no , nicole . nicole ! | daniel wanted nicole to come clean . will asked marlena what nick said when he called her . hope wanted to know why will was at the station . he wanted to talk to hope . will told hope that he threatened to kill nick before he died . ej met abby at the park . abby suspected ej of having nick killed . nicole tried to act as if she was happy that daniel had the proof that could clear eric , but he did n't believe her . hope questioned will about why he threatened to kill nick . he told her that nick tried to take his daughter away from him . he denied killing nick . she asked what he did around the time nick was murdered . abby yelled at ej for killing nick . nicole denied seeing the papers , but he did n't believe her . he told her where he found them . daniel realized that liam blackmailed her with the evidence . will told hope his alibi for when nick was killed . he denied killing nick again . ej denied killing nick , but abby did n't believe him . daniel wanted to know what chyka did to keep nicole quiet . nicole tried to say that stefano and kristen framed her . |
justin : i do n't understand . deimos deposited more money into the titan accounts ? where the hell is it coming from ? yes , believe me , i will definitely look into it . kayla : you know , joey needs a new comforter for his bed , so why do n't we go to alderman 's , 'cause they have that good selection , you know ? steve : okay , let 's head over there . [ kayla giggles ] steve : still with me ? kayla : yeah . steve : you know , i 've been thinking ... maybe tripp really is starting to come around . i mean , the way he stood up for joe at the pub ... kayla : right . when they got in that fight . steve : yeah , and then afterwards , it was weird . it was like something changed . tripp was ... actually kinda nice to me . kayla : [ chuckles ] i 'm happy for you . steve : [ laughs ] i do n't know . maybe joe finally got his brother to see what ava was really like . tripp : you said you thought it was really kayla who killed my mom . how sure are you ? jade : well , that 's my hunch . it 's a strong hunch , though , really strong . you 're blaming the wrong person , tripp . you got ta leave steve alone . the one you should hate is kayla . rafe : apparently , it does n't take much to fry your brain . lani price went undercover to try to catch one of these halo dealers . had to swallow some and ... really did a number on her . jennifer : did she get really violent ? rafe : mm - mm . jennifer : i mean , because there was a kid at the center who busted out the whole front window of the antique store and then another kid who stole a car and ripped the insides of it completely apart . rafe : my god . no . well , if these dealers are targeting kids in schools , their sentences are automatically doubled . the trick is catching them . jennifer : well , that 's why i 'm here . i may have a lead for you . rafe : hmm .

[ edgy music ] [ intense music ] justin : no . just pretend you have n't found out about the money yet . and give me a week or two to dig into it . okay . i 'll get back to you . adrienne : hi . justin : hey ! she 's back ! adrienne : ah ! i am . rested and relaxed . [ laughs ] justin : so how was it being with the boys ? adrienne : oh , it was awesome . oh , my gosh , i could n't have asked for more . ' course , they would n't let me do anything and insisted i rest and recuperate , so ... justin : glad to hear it . [ kayla giggles ] justin : so , how is everyone ? everyone 's good ? adrienne : they 're wonderful . healthy , happy . oddly enough , though , they kept saying how much they wanted us to get back together . tripp : i - is there any proof ? i mean , kayla does n't seem like somebody who smothers people to death . jade : yeah . that 's because she 's completely two - faced . look , ava kidnapped kayla and locked her away with no food and no water . you know about that , right ? well ... did you know that ava told steve the only way that she would let kayla go was ... if he slept with her ? well ... steve hopped in her big bed and ... did his duty . and , of course ... he was never gon na tell kayla about it , right ? trouble is ... ava filmed the whole thing with her phone . and ... when kayla was finally free and everything was supposed to go back to normal , ava sent her a private little porn movie . which ... of course , made kayla over - the- top crazy ... and the rest is history . tripp : so this ... film made kayla commit murder ? jade : well , that and ... other stuff . tripp : like what ? jade : ava just kept sticking it to her , you know ? and they wound up getting into it in the park -- hair pulling and punching each other . then later , ava snuck into steve and kayla 's house ... and gave herself a morphine overdose . well , the only people that have access to morphine are doctors , right ? and everyone had seen them fighting and ... it was kinda the perfect frame - up . tripp : a - ava overdosed so she would frame kayla for other -- jade : well , that 's what kayla 's claiming , but ... i mean , maybe ava was telling the truth . kayla said that she came home and found ava blacked out with a needle still in her arm . and she was alive , so they rushed her to the hospital , and she pulled through . tripp : w - well , if kayla saved her , why would she hurt her ? jade : because your mom made a big scene at the hospital . she told everyone that kayla was the one that gave her the overdose . she was saying , `` help me , save me , do n't let her do it to me again , `` that kinda stuff . so ... kayla shut her up . tripp : suffocated her . jade : yeah . tripp : and steve took the blame . jade : he loves her . tripp : i - i got ta say , my mom does n't exactly come off as a person who -- jade : well , okay , maybe not , but , i mean ... she may have been a little off her spool , but ... is that really a reason to murder someone ? abigail : oh , god . [ sighs ] dario : is there anything i can do ? can i get you something ? abigail : no . [ exhales ] i just ... i did what i had to do . it 's -- it 's over . [ sighs ] dario : abby , i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you 're talking about . abigail : i ... filed for divorce . dario : divorce . i 'm sorry . abigail : oh , god , i just could n't keep living in limbo like that , dario . i had to end it , it 's -- [ soft music ] dario : abby ... are you sure ? you know , maybe ... abigail : you know , ever since i walked back into his life , it 's just like ... he was never committed to me and our relationship . and i know that he said that he was and he wanted to be and he wanted to do the whole vow renewal story , but deep down , i just knew , i -- i knew , and he did too , and i ... dario : okay . maybe ... maybe you should tell your lawyer to take it slow -- abigail : no . i do n't want to . no . what i 'm doing ... is right . what i 'm doing is best for everyone . it has to be .

[ laughs ] one thing you 're gon na find about the johnson family ... we are very tight - knit . we 're always checking in on each other , always visiting , you know ? tripp : yeah , steve , uh , talks about family a lot , how ... important it is . adrienne : yes . he means every word . i think part of it is ... well , growing up , his home life was n't really ideal , you know ? in fact , it was downright miserable . tripp : yeah . i heard a little about that . adrienne : well , it 's in the past , but i think that 's why steve tries so hard so make sure that that does n't happen to his family . and , tripp , i know ... he 's desperate to make up for all the years that he missed being your dad . tripp : yeah , well , he says a lot of things , but ... adrienne : he 's a good man . you wo n't find any better . and again , i think part of it is that he 's trying to ... trying to make up for what a horrible man our father was . tripp : yeah , when i did a search on steve 's dad -- or your dad ... all it said was that he died suddenly . adrienne : yeah , um ... i might as well tell you . i ... [ sighs ] he was killed . by me . uh , it was ... self - defense . it could n't be helped . and i was very young . [ stammers ] look , the important thing that you need to know about what happened is that steve ... took the blame for it . because that 's the kind of man he is , tripp . when he loves someone , he does anything he can to protect them . never forget that . [ soft , dramatic music ] chad : this is impossible . i do n't -- it does n't make any sense . hope : chad , call her . call her right now . chad : she 's not gon na answer ! hope : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . chad : why would n't she just wait until i get home so we could at least -- we could -- we could try to talk it out and work things through ? i 'm not gon na sit here and talk about this with you . you 're her family ... hope : chad . you became family the day that you married abigail . look at me . we 're good . chad : it just does n't make any sense . hope : is it ... is it possible that she 's -- i do n't know -- doing it to see how you 'll react ? i - i 'm glad that you decided to go home so the two of you can talk . i imagine she 's ... very confused . maybe you could change her mind . chad : no . she 's sure . dario : look , if you wan na back out or slow things down , you should probably do it sooner than later . [ footsteps ] dario : mrs. deveraux . um ... okay , look , i 'm gon na go back to the club . i 'll be there if you need me . abigail : okay . [ quiet music ] jennifer : i 'm assuming he 's not the one who upset you . so it must be chad . abigail : mom , can we please just not talk about this right now ? jennifer : yeah , if that 's what you want . you know what ? actually , no , abigail . i have been walking around on eggshells worried sick about you , and you need to tell me what 's going on . abigail : i filed for a divorce . [ dramatic musical flourish ] chloe : oh , hey . justin , how are you ? justin : eting i have to get to . chloe : okay . i wo n't keep you . justin : have you even ... seen brady yet ? or is that too much to ask ? chloe : yeah . i 've been a couple of times . i 'm probably gon na go later . i - i 'm sorry , what 's with the hostility ? what 's wrong ? justin : you do know that he may die , right ? chloe : yeah , i do know that . it 's because the drugs are n't working anymore and the heart transplant is failing . but ... justin : but what ? chloe : why are you acting like it 's my fault ? i 'm not the one who shot him . justin : no . but you 're the one who set this whole thing in motion , chloe . chloe : i 'm sorry , xander is the one who shot him , and he 's an insane criminal . you 're blaming me ? justin : yeah . now he has nicole and holly held captive . i hope that pleases you . [ soft pop over pa ] chad : i know exactly why she 's doing this . she 's doing this ... so she can move on with somebody else . [ lightly edgy music ] hope : who ? chad : your boyfriend 's brother . hope : dario ? chad : yeah . hope : [ laughs ] that 's ridiculous , i highly doubt -- chad : that 's exactly what she 's doing . i 've seen them together , believe me . she -- [ laughs ] she -- she smiles , she laughs , she puts it on for him , and i already know for a fact that dario 's in love with her . hope : no , you need to take a step back right now , and you need to ask yourself -- no , you need to ask yourself ... would abigail file for divorce so she can go out with someone else ? i think the answer to that is no . no ! chad , it 's not who she -- [ softer ] it 's not who she is . you know that . so do i . aside from the fact that rafe and i would know all about it . jennifer : abigail , that is the worst decision that you could ever make . you just separated ! abigail : it needed to be made permanent , mom . jennifer : have you even talked to chad about this ? abigail : there 's nothing to even talk about . jennifer : of course there is . baby , listen to me . you are not ... done . the two of you are never going to be over each other . abigail : it 's over , mom . we 're done . for good . [ dramatic music swells ] kayla : ohh ... steve : baby ... you tuckers me out . kayla : oh , come on . you love it . steve : well , i love being with you . kayla : hey , tripp . steve : hey . kayla : join us . tripp : hey . [ clears throat ] steve : so , uh , did you meet your aunt adrienne ? she said she was gon na try to get in touch with you . tripp : yeah , yeah , we met , uh , had a ... had a good talk . steve : good . tripp : in fact , she 's actually the reason i came looking for you . i 've decided ... well , maybe we should start getting to know each other a little better . steve : well , that 's great , man . kayla : i think you just made your dad 's day . maybe his whole week . steve : she 's right , you did . come on , sit down , join us . tripp : thanks . [ ahem ] yeah , i - i decided it 's , uh ... it 's time i get to know a lot more about ... everybody . [ ambient music playing ] chloe : hey , i need a drink , like right now . dario : i got just the thing . specialty of the day . how 's nicole and holly ? chloe : i do n't know . all i do is worry about them . oh , and get this -- justin just blamed me for everything . said everything 's my fault . dario : that 's ... kinda harsh . tell you what . i 'll make this drink for two ... or four ... or ten . [ both chuckle ] dario : whatever . i 'm gon na join you . it 's on the house , okay ? chloe : thanks . what are you worried about ? dario : life . i 'm a constant worrier . so ... we 'll drink till one of us quits . chloe : okay . what does the winner get ? dario : we 'll figure that out when we 're buzzed . are you ready ? chloe : game on . jennifer : i just -- i do n't understand . i really do n't . how -- how can you just do something that is so rash ? abigail : i 'm not , mom ! look , chad has always accused me of running away when things get tough , and , okay , he 's right -- but that 's not what i 'm doing right now , okay ? i 'm standing up for what i know to be true . the fact of the matter is chad is in love with two women . and i needed him to be there for me , 100 % , and he was n't ! jennifer : he 's the one who wanted to renew your wedding vows -- it was his decision . abigail : those are words , totally words . and i watched him when he got close to gabi , and it was painful . he kept telling me he just needed more time , he was gon na make this huge transition . i got tired of waiting . i just needed him to give himself to me totally , mom . jennifer : i understand that , honey . but feelings ... they just ca n't be switched on and off . abigail : well ... he sure switched them off when he thought that i was dead . and he fell in love with gabi . so i am bringing this all to a close . divorce will make this final . in fact , i have already ... sent notice to his lawyers . chad : that 's a nice idea . wish it were true . hope : you do n't know that . as far as we know , she -- she could be testing you , seeing if you 'll get on a flight and fly home and try to talk her out of it . chad : you do n't understand ! she 's made it clear ! she 's walking away . and the thing is ... i love abigail ... not just because of who she is , but she is the mother of my child . and -- and , yeah , okay , so i -- i have feelings for gabi . i 've told her that and -- and ... she wants all of me . she wants my whole heart , and rightfully so , but i ca n't give that to her ... right now . right now . [ murmurs ] i ca n't ... [ somber music ] hope : well ... i will tell you ... that i doubt that abigail is filing for divorce because of dario . chad : yeah . well , she 's moving out either way . [ music swells ] just trying to protect holly , right ? dario : of course i do . so we both hate that nicole and holly are in trouble , but you ca n't let justin kiriakis get to you . chloe : yeah . he 's such a ... blowhard . [ both chuckle ] dario : you ca n't let anybody tell you how to feel , all right ? my brother was just in here doing the same exact thing . i mean , who do these people think that they are , right ? chloe : yeah . right . [ both laugh ] chloe : okay , i ... i think i 'm gon na have to declare you the winner of this . dario : you quit ? chloe : yeah , i quit . i have to call my mom in new york -- i miss my son -- to make sure he 's okay . thank you . dario : you 're welcome . chloe : for all the drinks . dario : you 're welcome . it 's my pleasure . you should take a cab home . chloe : will do , will do . dario : right ? cab . [ ambient music in background ] adrienne : finally ! i was beginning to think you got lost . jennifer : i am so sorry . adrienne : no , do n't be . so the story idea i was thinking about of where the kids are getting their drugs , they 're -- jennifer ? jennifer , is something wrong ? jennifer : um ... yeah . adrienne : what ? jennifer : you know what , you 're gon na hear about it anyway , so , um ... abigail is divorcing chad . adrienne : what ? jennifer : mm - hmm . and i know that i have had my problems with chad , but i really think he 's a good guy , and now i feel like he 's part of our family . abigail 's making a huge mistake . hope : maybe you do need some space . chad : yeah . abby 's giving me all the space that i need . hope : i 'll see you at the airport . in an hour or two . chad : hope , uh , the , um ... the , uh , the promise . thank you .

jennifer : oh , daniel , it -- daniel : no . there you go . jennifer : okay . well , my son got kicked out of boarding school . so that 's what the whole dig about summer school , that 's what that was about , because i am making him go so he does n't fall behind . daniel : yeah , well , you know , the kid lost his father . boys , we -- we tend to screw up rather than grieve , so -- jennifer : right , well , i 'm just telling you -- i want you to know there 's probably gon na be some tension around here for a little bit . daniel : yeah . jennifer : and i would love to share the details with you , but i do n't wan na violate his privacy . daniel : no , no , i got it . i got it . and listen , if i 'm an issue for him , i get that too . i 'm sure i 'm an interloper here , but just know that i have some pretty thick skin , feel that . jennifer : okay , well , you know what , just enjoy parker 's boyhood while you can , 'cause it gets harder , but you know that . daniel : oh , yeah . well , the kids are very lucky to have you . jennifer : i do n't know if jj would agree with you right now on that ... [ both laugh ] and i am purposefully gon na change the subject because i found this for you online . daniel : on what ? what is this thing ? jennifer : finally . daniel : `` revolting rhymes ? `` jennifer : i know . daniel : what are you doing to me ? jennifer : my kids loved it when they were little , and you know , parker loved all those silly little rhymes . daniel : oh , my goodness . you know what i 'm gon na have to do ? i 'll load that thing right here on my mp3 player . jennifer : [ laughs ] daniel : right there . jennifer : good . daniel : however , i do n't know how much longer i 'm gon na have sole custody of this thing , 'cause parker , he wants it . he 's , like , `` i wan na hear -- listen , let me listen , `` so -- jennifer : you ca n't give him that , no . daniel : i am , i 'm gon na give it to him . jennifer : melanie gave that to you . daniel : that 's the perfect thing to do . jennifer : look at this : `` to the hippest dad in the world . enjoy your coltrane . `` daniel : all right , i did n't even know she knew i loved that guy , so what -- i guess ... jennifer : you 're holding on to it . daniel : i am gon na hold on to it , but you know -- jennifer : i ca n't even believe how much music they fit into that little thing . i still do n't get it . daniel : i know , when she gave this thing to me , i 'm , like , `` what am `` i gon na do with it ? i have no idea what i 'm gon na do with this thing , 'cause right now -- `` i 'll tell you this : it 's the only thing that i want on a deserted island . jennifer : oh . hm . daniel : i mean , with you there as well . jennifer : oh , right , that -- you were gon na say that . daniel : i was . jennifer : that was a good save . daniel : you on a beach , in a bikini , drinks -- jennifer : nice save , good .

honestly ? kate : hope , i followed your exact same train of thought . believe me , i thought that stefano was behind it , and i confronted him . i talked to him about the affair with rafe , and he was totally shocked . and i know -- i know it was n't a performance . hope : if stefano knew about the affair , if he arranged the attack on rafe , what do you think ? of course he 's gon na act surprised when you tell him about it . kate : i was married to him , okay ? i know what i saw , and he did n't want anyone to know he was angry , and not because he still has feelings for me , but because he had been deprived of the sick pleasure of hurting rafe himself , okay ? you know , if you do n't take my word for it , talk to sami , talk to ej , they were both there . hope : oh , i will , believe me . i have a lot of questions for sami ... and for ej . sami : do n't listen to him , okay ? he hates ej -- he 's biased . gabi : well , my brother hated him too for the things that he did to you . sami : look , do n't worry about any of that right now , okay ? you are going through hell right now , and you do n't need to be thinking about things that are gon na make you more upset . just let the police figure out what happened to rafe , okay ? gabi : i 'm just scared , okay ? sami : i know . i know . maggie : maybe kristen has some issues that she needs to resolve before making that till - death - do - us - part kinda vow . brady : why -- why ca n't anybody see her point of view ever ? i mean , we 're trying to move forward with our lives . i mean , we 've talked about adopting a child , maggie . maggie : really ? brady : yeah , but she ca n't wrap her mind around having a child with me because of my father putting all this in her head . she keeps thinking about the child that she lost years ago . maggie : again , maybe she has to work out some things before making this big commitment . brady : no , no , you -- you -- you are right . there are some things that have to be worked out between me and my father . marlena : i guess i 'll go . i 'm sure john has something to say to you . kristen : okay . aw , what ? sad . is there trouble in paradise ? again ? john : oh , i guess one could say that . we 're getting a divorce . kristen : what ? john : oh , i think you know why . i think we both do . kristen : wow , what a thudding irony , you ending your marriage the day before i 'm starting mine . i mean ... wow . i hope you meet somebody new . and i hope the next one is just a little bit more stable than that one . have a nice day . john : [ sighs ] brady : dad . i wan na talk to you . both : hey . daniel : oh , hey . wow , i guess your mom tells me you 're a runner just like me . jj : yeah , it clears my head . daniel : i hear ya . jj : hey , mom , do you have an mp3 player ? i loaned mine to my roommate , and with all the drama , i forgot to ask for it back . jennifer : you know what , i do n't , but i 'm sure abigail has one that you can borrow . daniel : oh , you know what ? hey , use mine . jj : nah , that 's okay . daniel : what , you think you 're gon na listen to , like , captain & tennille on this thing ? jennifer : [ laughs ] huh ? look at this right here . check out that playlist . right there . huh ?

sami : okay , so they just called me to come down to police headquarters . otherwise , i would n't leave , obviously . lucas : oh , they wan na see ej dimera 's living girlfriend . really ? maybe he 's using you as an alibi , sami . sami : stop it , okay ? seriously , you have to stop this . you can not be putting ideas in gabi 's head about ej . lucas : i 'm not putting any ideas into her head . you think she 's forgotten what ej did to rafe and how her sister died ? you think she forgot that ? sami : no , but you are not helping , okay ? she needs to be calm , so your job right now is to keep that girl calm , and talking about ej does n't help . lucas : you not realizing that ej 's responsible for this , that 's what 's not helping here . he 's the one that put him in there . you know it , and i know it . sami : that is not true . lucas : it is true . you 're protesting too much again , and that means you know it 's the truth ! you always do that . when you hear the truth , you protest too much . you 're scared of the truth , sami . hope : did rafe mention something out of the ordinary ? like any threats from one of the cases he was working on ? kate : [ sighs ] rafe and i did n't talk much . hope : really ? well , that 's surprising given how much you two had in common . kate : you know , i 'm used to snide and condescending remarks , and usually , i do n't give a damn , but rafe was my friend and i cared about him , and i saw what was done to him , so do me a favor and cut me some freakin ' slack . hope : i 'm sorry . kate : you may have thought it was ridiculous , and that rafe was desperate . i 'm sure you think that rafe was scraping the bottom of the barrel , right ? but we were seeing each other through a really horrendous time in our life . so just find the person who did this to him , will ya ? hope : i wo n't stop until i do . kate : well , when you do , i 'd like just five minutes alone with him with a baseball bat . hope : you 're gon na have to wait your turn , kate . [ sighs ] ej and stefano . obvious suspects . what is that rafe always says ? what is it we 're not seeing ? brady : are you following her ? john : excuse me ? brady : kristen , she -- she 's -- she 's around here . she 's doing an errand . thought maybe you might be tracking her down so you can mess with her head a little more . john : oh , i saw her . she spoke to me , and then , she went that way , and i did n't follow her . brady : just so we 're clear , if you have anything to say to her , i want you to say it through me . john : [ sighs ] well , seeing as how we 're not speaking , i 'm not sure exactly how that works . brady : so you do have something to say to her , huh ? you 're not done with her , are you , dad ? john : i 'll tell you this much . i 'm done with this conversation . kristen : hi . brady : hi . kristen : what are you doing here ? were you talking to your father ? brady : uh ... yeah , something -- something that you could probably pass off for talking . kristen : well , another reason to rethink what we 're planning on doing tomorrow , right ? brady : listen , listen . he does n't matter . you matter . and we do need to talk about tomorrow and make sure it 's something we both want to do . jj : thanks , dan . jennifer : oh , daniel . i mean , nobody really calls him `` dan . `` jj : right , and listen , i 'll just swing by the hospital at the end of my run and give this back to you . jennifer : honey , just be really careful with that , because it 's important to him . his daughter gave it to him . daniel : okay , do n't worry about -- no , it 's just a little -- but it 's pretty indestructible , yeah . jj : okay . daniel : yeah . jj : all right , well , see ya later . jennifer : okay , bye , honey . jj : bye . daniel : see ya . all right , well , i got ta get going too . jennifer : thank you for reaching out to him like that . daniel : well , he seems like a nice kid , and this may come as a complete surprise to you , but there have been times in my life that i 've screwed up too . jennifer : no ! daniel : i know , i know ... jennifer : uh - uhh . daniel : and you know what ? maybe -- maybe he did it the wrong way , but maybe he just wanted to be home . and , you know , whatever happened at school is just an isolated incident . jennifer : yeah . i hope you 're right about that . kate : yes , okay . thank you for the information . [ sighs ] lucas : well , there you are . what a surprise . thought you 'd be busy pulling tricks somewhere again . kate : you know , it 's always so difficult to read you . lucas : hmm . kate : is this your oh - so - not - very subtle way of telling me that sami wasted no time in tracking you down and telling you about my latest transgression ? lucas : did you do a google search on `` least appropriate partners `` and came up with my ex - wife 's ex - husband ? i mean , the guy 's the uncle to your great- grandchild . really ? mom , that 's sick . but if you think it 's a match made in heaven , go for it . kate : okay , please . please . all right ? i know that it 's not easy having me for a mother . lucas : [ sighs ] kate : but ... we kept it private , we ended it , and right now , lucas , i have to tell you , i 'm just scared that what happened to him is somehow my fault . lucas : no , i do n't think it 's your fault , but i do think it 's ej 's . sami : [ sighs ] same old , same old , huh ? something goes wrong in this town and if it 's not my fault , it must be ej 's . hope : sami , please ! just answer the question . what were you and ej doing before he left to see rafe ? just answer the question . sami : nothing . nothing . we were just with johnny . you know , we were -- [ sighs ] johnny 's going to be so heartbroken . he loves rafe so much . hope : i know he does . sami : and he was just talking about it , johnny was saying how happy he was when we were living with rafe . hope : well , that must have thrilled ej . sami : do n't put words in my mouth , aunt hope . ej did n't even hear johnny say that . hope : oh , and no one ever overhears anything in that house . sami : but -- hope : but what ? sami , tell me . sami : nothing , okay ? ej was n't in the room when johnny said that , and even if he had been , it does n't change anything . hope : do you hear yourself ? you keep defending ej , but every time you try , you sound less and less convinced . brady : when i saw you walking towards me just now -- with these flowers , which are beautiful , by the way -- i did n't see a dimera . i did n't see ej 's sister . i did n't see stefano 's daughter . i saw my wife . kristen : oh . brady : i saw my wife walking towards me down the aisle . it 's -- kristen : brady . brady : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that i rushed to a conclusion about your brother and about your father , but make no mistake , if they 're guilty and they attacked rafe , they 're gon na answer for it , but listen , i 'm not marrying them . i 'm marrying you . kristen : i 'm a dimera . brady : yes , you are ... in name . in name only , and so i have an idea . i do n't know if you 're gon na like it , you might hate it . it 's a little egotistical , but -- i think you should have my name . i want you to be kristen black . hey . marry me . make me the happiest guy on the earth . brady : now would be a great time just to say `` yes . `` kristen : i need to think . brady : you need to think . okay . kristen : oh , brady , it 's just been a really weird day . brady : i know . kristen : i need a little time alone , just want to think things through , okay ? and then we 'll talk . mmm . brady : i 'm warning you , though . i 'll give you this time to think , but you can think about it all you want , it 's not gon na change how we feel . we love each other . kristen : that 's what screwed everything up . jennifer : aunt maggie , daniel was so great . i mean , he was really reaching out to jj . maggie : he knows how much jj means to you . jennifer : yeah , and jj was needling him , believe me -- both of us , but it did n't even bother daniel . he understands what he 's going through . i mean , would n't it be great if the two of them could get along ? [ knocking at the door ] jj : hey , the nurse at the front desk told me that you 're in here . daniel : yeah , yeah , yeah . how was the run ? jj : listen , um , thank you for loaning me this , but by the way , it broke . gabi : yeah , so i 'll meet you here when you get off of work . no , no , do n't stop what you 're doing , because i actually have to leave for a little bit . there 's something i have to do . bye . kate : do you really think ej did this ? lucas : or arranged it . kate : well , the dimeras do have a history of taking their time before they exact revenge . lucas : or maybe it was a preemptive strike . the fraternity of men that have been involved with sami all know one thing -- she always wants the guy she ca n't have , so now that she 's back with ej , it 's just a matter of time before she wants rafe again . kate : well , if that was his motivation , then he did n't go far enough . lucas : why , what do you mean ? kate : with sami 's b - movie mind , what could be more romantic than nursing rafe back to health ? lucas : yeah , you 're right . you should have seen her at the hospital . scared to death for rafe , but i think more scared that ej had something to do with this . sami : ej has changed , okay ? he 's not the same man . hope : and kristen 's not the same woman . now , they 're all like the von trapp family , right ? and what about stefano ? i suppose he 's changed as well ? sami , tell me , was he happy for kate that she found a little comfort in rafe 's bed ? sami : you know about that . hope : kate says stefano knew nothing about it ... until she told him . you were there , you think that 's true ? sami : yeah . i do . so does ej . hope : `` and so does ej . `` well , there 's a surprise . he 's backing his father 's story . but you know what , i wonder . i wonder if stefano will be willing to cover for ej as well . sami : there 's nothing to cover for ! gabi : i just remembered something . i know who tried to kill my brother . jj : so i dropped it and then a truck ran over it . sorry , man . daniel : no , it 's okay . no worries . jj : thanks , but still , bummer , huh ? well , i got ta run . daniel : yeah . yeah . bummer . kate : ca n't believe i 'm actually gon na say this , but i actually feel a little sorry for sami . lucas : that never happens . kate : [ laughing ] i know , but if ej truly is behind what happened to rafe -- lucas : i really do n't think there 's any `` if `` about it . kate : okay , so we know how good he is at covering his tracks . sami 's never going to know the truth , which means she 's going to have to deal with the nagging doubt that she 's living with the man who tried to kill the man she loves . hope : you know who attacked rafe ? gabi : it was ej . sami : no , it was n't . hope : sami , not a word . sami : [ scoffs ] hope : why do you say that ? gabi : i just remembered that the night that it happened , ej was at the pub and he was on the phone , but he did n't know that i could hear what he was saying . hope : which was what ? gabi : he said `` it 's done ? good . `` then he hung up the phone and smiled . hope : oh , my god . excuse me , gabi . sami : who are you calling ? hope : the guard on rafe 's room . if ej paid somebody to kill rafe , they may very well come back to finish the job .

what are you talking about ? how in the world could you have known what was gon na happen to nick ? nicole : daniel 's right . we were talking about something upsetting , and we were n't finished . jennifer : but you opened the door before we had a chance to knock . you were leaving . nicole : yeah . i was walking out , and i should n't have done that . you know , if you could just give daniel and me a few more minutes , we could probably sort this out . right ? daniel : oh , we can try . eric : now i do n't get what 's going on . nicole : why do n't you come out in the hall , and i 'll try to explain ? i know what this must look like . eric : you told me you think of daniel as your best friend , but you look like you 're gon na kill each other . nicole : we 're not gon na do that . eric : and you 're not gon na tell me what you were arguing about ? nicole : not until i fix it with daniel . i just need a few more minutes with him alone , okay ? eric : and i 'm not going to leave you until i know you 're all right . nicole : i am . i promise . it 's really not that big of a deal . jennifer : are you sure that you 're happy to hear that nicole and eric are engaged ? because it sure does n't seem that way . daniel : we were n't arguing about them being engaged . jennifer : no , but you were arguing about something , and it was big . eric : what i suggest is that we give daniel and nicole some time to wrap up whatever this was . jennifer : oh ... okay . yeah , if that 's what you want . daniel : uh , yeah , i think that would be helpful , if you do n't mind . jennifer : okay , well , we 'll -- we 'll take a walk or something . eric : perfect . nicole : thank you very much . jennifer : sure . nicole : um , i 'll call you , okay ? eric : okay . lucas : i had to drop allie off at sami 's . kate : how is she ? lucas : she 's pretty shut down . therapist said we should just give her some time . kate : she 's gon na get through it . you know she 's one tough cookie . lucas : oh , god , i hope so . so anything been happening since nick died ? kate : well , you would think i would know , right ? especially since i just spent the last half hour being grilled by the pride of the salem pd . lucas : hope ? kate : yeah . lucas : well , you did n't tell her anything , did you ? kate : what do you mean ? i do n't have anything to hide . lucas : what are you talking about ? you hate nick 's guts . kate : yeah , i know , and i told her that . i also told her that if i had had a loaded gun with me when i saw him yesterday , i would have been the one to pull the trigger . hope : so when was the last time you saw nick fallon ? abigail : the day he died . hope : do you remember what time ? abigail : it was in the morning . hope : is that when julie walked in on the two of you arguing ? abigail : um ... hope : abigail , i 've already taken her statement . abigail : that 's right . hope : can you tell me what you and nick were arguing about ? nick : that perfect , little abigail deveraux is nothing but ej dimera 's whore . abigail : [ sighs ] hope : abigail ? what 's wrong ? sami : mom , i 'm not saying that i knew what was gon na happen to nick or that he was gon na be shot . i mean , who could know something like that ? i 'm just upset , you know ? i wish allie had n't seen what happened to him . marlena : you got ta stop this . you 're gon na drive yourself crazy . sami : no , you 're right . of course . of course you 're right . let 's just -- let 's just go see her , huh ? come on . hey , allie , sweetheart . look who came to see you . huh ? marlena : hi , honey . hi , ej . ej : hello , marlena . sami : um , well , i have to go out for a little bit , allie , just really quickly , and i 'll be right back , okay ? all right , bye . i love you , sweetheart . i love you so much . eric : do you have any idea what 's going on back at daniel 's ? jennifer : no , i have no idea , but i 'll tell you one thing . i know daniel very well by now . and when he gets quiet and he sets his jaw like that , he is furious . daniel : uh , i do n't know what else there is to talk about because you 're not gon na change my mind . nicole : yeah , you made it very clear i have to come clean with eric , even if that means i 'll almost certainly lose him . daniel : he was happy being a priest . he could be one again . nicole : you said you forgive me . so does n't that mean on some level you understand why i did it ? daniel : okay , i understand that you love eric , but when you love someone , you do n't lie to them about the most important thing in their life . nicole : what if you did n't find those papers ? you would have been thrilled for us . you would have said , `` wow , eric 's a happy guy . `` and then you and jennifer and eric and me , we 'd all be friends for life , and you know that . daniel : yeah , well , that all might be true , but i did see those papers , and nothing is going to change that now . eric : maybe the engagement surprised him . just do n't understand why it would make him so upset . jennifer : no , but daniel said that 's not what they were arguing about . eric : well , nicole does n't want us to find out about that argument because that 's why she was asking us to leave . daniel must have felt the same way . he backed her up . jennifer : well , daniel usually backs nicole up , whether it 's a good idea or not . daniel : well , hey , it should n't matter if i 'd seen those pages because you know . you know what you 've got to do . you risked your life to confront a lunatic doctor who drugged eric , and you did that because you knew that being a priest , it changed his life . nicole : he 's made peace with the fact that he ca n't be a priest anymore . daniel : but he can be ! you know that ! you know that in your heart . all he has to do is take those pages to somebody in authority , and bam , he is reinstated . nicole , i know what it feels like to be kept from the work that you love . it just -- it changes the fabric of who you are . and i 'm not just upset for him . i am worried about you . i am so worried about you -- nicole : yeah , i can tell that . daniel : i am . i am . because you keep telling yourself the end justifies the means , and you can live with that . but i do n't think you thought this out . i think you made a snap decision , but you had n't stopped once to think about what it would do to you to live this lie . you can make this right . you can make this right ... nicole : how can i make this right ? daniel : for both you and eric . how ? nicole : how ? he 's never gon na understand . he 'll hate me . come on , look . you -- you lied to jennifer to cover for jj . that did n't kill you . daniel : okay , that 's not the same thing , and you know it . not the same thing ! nicole : look , all i know is that i love eric and you claim to care about me . so , please , daniel , can you just stay out of it ? daniel : no , i am not gon na go round and round with you on this . i 'm not doing it . there 's no point in it . i ca n't . i 'm not gon na do it . you are not gon na change my mind . nicole : fine . then can you just please do me this one thing ? just do n't tell jennifer . daniel : okay , that 's -- she is gon na find out . nicole : i know ! daniel : she will find out ! nicole : but let me just tell eric before you say anything to jennifer , okay ? i just need some time to figure out what i 'm gon na say . daniel : you do n't have time ! we do n't have time ! they both already know that something 's wrong . so what would you like me to say ? tell me ! nicole : there is a way . daniel : nicole -- nicole : would you just please hear me out ? daniel : mm . marlena : did you sleep okay last night ? sometimes when i 've had a hard day , i have a hard time getting to sleep . allie : grandma made me cocoa . marlena : oh , yum . did that help ? ej : are you sure ? allie , you seem a little bit tired to me . allie : i do n't want to take a nap ! marlena : that 's okay . nobody 's going to make you do anything you do n't want to do . will : you 're being so quiet . sonny : i 'm just trying to figure out what would make any sane person go to the police and voluntarily admit he threatened to kill a guy who got killed a few hours later . will : but rafe broke up the fight . he heard me threaten nick . sonny : so he talked you into going to the cops ? he 's a cop . will : you think i do n't know that ? they 're gon na question him too . he 's gon na have to tell them what he heard . sonny : [ sighs ] they 're just gon na -- they 're not gon na let this go . they are going to keep pushing and pushing . will : but you put the gun back ... right ? it 's gone . they ca n't tie that to either one of us . they ca n't prove a thing . abigail : it just , uh , bothers me that the last time i saw nick , we were having a fight . hope : who started it ? abigail : me , i guess . i ... i felt like he tricked me into giving him the name of a lawyer to represent gabi . hope : aiden jennings , right ? abigail : yeah . hope : what made you feel tricked ? abigail : because he did n't tell me the reason why he wanted a lawyer was so he could cut will out of arianna 's life as much as possible . hope : i see . last night , you were with someone when nick died . he , uh , was at the hospital with you . i need his name . abigail : ben . hope : last name ? abigail : i do n't know . ej : hey . sami : hey . how 's allie doing ? ej : she 's fine . she kept insisting she was n't tired , but she put her head on your mother 's lap , and she fell straight to sleep , so ... i 'm glad . she needed it . sami : i ca n't help thinking about the fact that we 've done this to them . ej : look , we will help her , okay ? we will see her through this . sami : all right . um , you 're right . i know you 're right . i have to go . i 'm gon na be late for this thing . and i 'll be home in a little bit , okay ? see you soon . with the famous footwear app , eric : hi . how 's it going ? nicole : sorry about all this . eric : you and daniel finish talking ? nicole : yeah . why do n't you meet me at my place ? eric : well , are you gon na tell me what this argument was about ? nicole : uh , well , i came over here to tell him about us and how happy we are , and then i realized he 's just sitting there with a bullet wound that i gave him . eric : nicole , that was an accident . nicole : yeah , i know , but still , it was pretty insensitive of me . i mean , here i am , going on and on about how everything 's worked out , and he 's sitting there thinking how he might not have been around to even hear the news . eric : yeah , well , that must have been very hard to hear . nicole : it was . i just ... i just could n't let it go . daniel 's a great friend , and i love him , and ... now i just -- i have n't had a chance to face him after what i did . eric : you two work that out ? nicole : yeah , yeah . i 'll tell you all about it when i see you . eric : all right . i 'll be right there . jennifer : oh , will you tell her that i 'm on my way to daniel 's ? eric : jennifer wants you to tell daniel that she 's coming back to his place . nicole : sure . i love you . uh , jennifer is on her way back . daniel : okay . nicole : and you do n't have to tell her the story . eric will . so you can just ... let it rest for the night . daniel : while you sit with eric and explain all of it ? nicole : exactly . sonny : you know i would do anything to protect you , right ? will : of course i know that . and i 'd do the same for you . that 's why people marry each other , because they feel that way . sonny : for better or ... for worse , right ? will : i think this definitely qualifies as worse . sonny : we 're gon na get through this together . i love you so much . will : i love you too . hope : so this , uh , ben -- he seemed very supportive of you at the hospital , like you two were close . and you do n't know his last name ? abigail : no , uh , i do n't . it just has n't come up . hope : did he know nick ? ben : get the hell away from her ! nick : what is your problem ? ben : shut your damn mouth , or i 'm gon na shut it for you ! abigail : ben works at sonny 's club , and nick would come in sometimes , so they 'd met . hope : were they friendly ? abigail : do n't you think that you should ask ben that ? hope : i 'm asking you . were they friendly ? abigail : from what i could see , no , they were n't . hope : and what did you see ? abigail : ben walked in on nick and i having an argument , and the two of them kind of got into it a little . hope : so you and nick argued more than once ? abigail : it was about the same thing . hope : nick using you to get a lawyer for gabi ? abigail : yeah . hope : what did ben do ? abigail : nick was , uh ... was kind of in my face , and so ben just told him that he should n't talk to me like that . hope : abigail , did you feel threatened ? abigail : by nick ? hope : yeah . abigail : well , uh , he was just really angry , so , um ... yes , i did feel threatened , i guess . hope : okay . uh , that 's it . i may have more questions later , honey . abigail : okay , so , uh , i can go now ? hope : yeah , you can go . abigail : okay . kate : could you just calm down ? lucas : i do n't get it . i do n't get it . mom , why would you tell hope that you own a gun ? kate : well , i did n't see any point in lying since she already knows that i own one . why are you so upset anyway ? it 's not like i told her that you own a gun . lucas : because i do n't . kate : well , there you go . and i did n't kill nick , so neither of us has anything to worry about . i need to get going . see you later . lucas : all right , bye . sami : of course , i got him to sign it . yes , i have the contracts right here . i will pdf them to you . okay . ben : hi . abigail : hi . ben : uh , how 'd it go ? abigail : um ... your name came up , ben . ben : why ? abigail : hope , the detective , she 's -- she 's known me all my life . she 's my mom 's cousin . she saw you at the hospital with me . ben : oh , okay . abigail : she asked me how i knew you , and i could n't even tell her your last name . ben : it 's rogers . what ? what ? abigail : ben , i told hope that you broke up the argument that nick and i were having , and i -- i 'm just so sorry that i 'm dragging you into all of this . ben : that 's all right . look . when i got involved in that , i was n't doing anything that i did n't want to do . and i would n't want anything that i ever did to make you feel bad , okay ? abigail ? abigail : okay , ben . kate : [ sighs ] my god . it 's not locked .

[ cell phone ringing ] kayla : steve . any word where joey is in la ? steve : no , nothing . but i 've arranged for a guy to fly me there . but i 'm not leaving yet . kayla : what 's the holdup ? steve : i 'm not gon na go off to find joe until i know you 're okay . joey : people here are pigs . jade : hey there . joey : who is that ? jade : oh , his name is dirk . met him when you were working on your motorcycle .

[ grunts ] that 's why i 'm here . aiden : no , no , no , no . hope would never do something like that . andré : why , because she 's you 're little sweetheart ? oh , she did it , and i 'm going to prove it . aiden : really ? from behind bars ? andré : i know . it 's been rather difficult here . i 'm gon na get my freedom so i can get out there and do what i need to do . so i 'm going to need a good attorney to make sure all this clears for me . aiden : wait a minute . you 're not asking me to take your case , are you ?

i mean , who was this other guy who took his place ? rafe : it 's a hell of a story , is n't it ? and it 's a lot to take in . one day at a time , i guess . hope : is it okay if we take one day at a time ? rafe : yeah . i 'm gon na give you all the time and all the space you need , and i 'm not ... saying that i like it . hope : thanks . rafe : yeah . in fact , let 's start right now 'cause i really need to get to the hospital and see my family . hope : give them my love . rafe : yeah . hope : i 'm glad we talked . and kissed . rafe : yeah . i liked that part . talk soon ?

andré : i could offer you an alibi . aiden : why the hell would i need an alibi ? andré : well , i 'm quite sure that mrs. jennings was n't exactly excited to see you . even if she believed it was you . but if i was to back up your story ... aiden : dna did that . andré : and dna ca n't explain how you came this close to snuffing the life out of her . aiden : well , i already told her that you kidnapped me , put a new man in my place right after i proposed . andré : and she believed you ? yeah , exactly as i thought . but i can convince her that you are telling the truth . aiden : i 'll take my chances . andré : you 'll lose her . aiden : i 'll lose her if i represent you . andré : you do n't need to show your face in court or even here . hire a surrogate . i 'm sure ... that you can find -- and you must know a lot of attorneys -- who are willing to accept a fee while you do all the work . aiden : my son is behind bars on rape charges because of you . andré : me ? aiden : yes . because of you , i could n't protect him . i could n't protect hope either because of you . andré : you needed money . you accepted our offer . do n't blame me for your failings . aiden : you son of a bitch . andré : is that the thanks i get for getting you out of dire straits ?

[ scene_break ] belle : she 's asleep . while i was down there , i was thinking about what you said . and you were right . i did take sides , and i did walk away . why ? because you petitioned the court for full custody . we could have worked out some kind of an agreement , but you wanted everything . philip : that 's 'cause i have nothing left . do n't you get it ? i sat up in a hospital room up in montréal covered in bandages . and i could n't even look at myself . [ sighs ] and meanwhile where were you ? setting up house with shawn , making like i never even existed ? belle : no , you had obligations , and you walked away from them . you ran away from me and from that child who you claim to love so much . philip : i could n't take it , okay ? there , i said it . are you happy ? i could n't even stand looking at her because the only thing i could think of was you . you were the woman that i truly loved . we never were perfect , and things were n't perfect , but then there was claire , right ? one look at her , you could n't miss it . you had to see it . she was the proof of our love , our connection , our passion ... our family . only you turned your back on that family and you took the only thing that i had left -- my daughter ... and my heart . belle : oh , god , philip . philip : you broke it . you broke me .

[ scene_break ] hope : you know what ? you do n't understand . billie : oh , yes , i do . i understand all too well , which makes it so hard to argue the point . you feel like you 've missed out on so much of shawn 's life because of what stefano did to you . i feel the same way . it 's the dimeras who hid chelsea from me . i missed out on so much of her life . and i ca n't help but think the person that chelsea could have been if i had raised her or who i could have been right now . who knows , right ? so , we think that we 're going in to help , but we 're really not . it 's true what they say about history repeating itself . hope : what the hell do you want me to do , then ? sit here alone in this empty house and wait to find out if my family is dead ? i ca n't . billie : you wo n't be alone , hope . not as long as i 'm here . i promise you , you wo n't be alone .

[ scene_break ] anna : the person that put this whole thing in motion is .. sami . rafe : sami . sami . oh , because sami did n't tell ej about sydney ? anna : well , you know , if she had been honest with him from the get - go , none of this would have happened . nicole could n't have done any of the thing she did , nor neither could i. sami made it happen . rafe : sami did n't make you take that baby . she 's not the one who forced you to hole up in that cottage for weeks . she did n't do that . so do n't you dare put this on sami . anna : well , if you 're so worried about sami , then what are you doing here ? why are n't you back in salem keeping her out of ej 's clutches , huh ? [ scene_break ] hope : i just feel like my life just veered off course when ciara was kidnapped . justin : well , i do n't even know how anyone ... how anyone handles that sort of thing . hope : bo and i handled it two different ways . that was the problem . or at least one of the problems . i remember feeling so powerless . justin : yeah , not a good way to feel , especially when your daughter 's life is at stake . hope : yeah , well , who cares how i felt , what i was going through ? what about my poor daughter ? justin : okay , so these things that she 's doing , do you think that it 's coming from what happened to her back then ? hope : they have to be , do n't they ... somehow ? justin : yeah . hope : you think you 're past it , and then something happens to remind you that you 're not . justin : like what ? hope : like hearing you 'd been attacked . seeing you in the hospital , realizing that you could have been killed , i -- i felt that same powerless feeling all over again . justin : well , i 'm sorry you felt that way . because when i woke up , seeing you sitting next to me ... i knew everything was gon na be all right . [ scene_break ] nicole : i do n't think a production assistant should be telling me how to cover a story . arianna : i 'm not telling you how to do anything . nicole : really ? arianna : i 'm just not gon na help you go on the air and say that people at the brady pub think that their customers are a bunch of thieves . kinsey : okay , arianna ? hi , um , i know you do n't work here anymore , and i am sure mrs. brady appreciates you thinking about her glassware and all , but i 'm pretty sure she 'd feel better if you were n't making a scene and driving away customers . arianna : do n't you have some tables to wait on ? nicole : oh , no , no , no . let her talk . kinsey : well , these are tough economic times . mrs. brady is doing her best to keep prices down so she can afford to have people keep coming here , and , you know , when people steal things like glasses and silverware , makes it hard for her to do that . so i think it 's really cool that you want to talk about it on tv . and , you know , if you need a quote from someone , i am happy -- arianna : wow ! i have n't seen sucking up like that since my mother bought her first vacuum cleaner . nicole : easy , tiger . she 's just saying it like it is . ahem . and so will i . arianna : okay ... [ scene_break ] ej : so i , um ... looked over the plans and the , uh ... the bid that you submitted , and , uh ... it 's fine . yeah , no , i like it , so ... i have to talk to samantha about it , but , uh ... we 'll get back to you tomorrow . no , thank you . stefano : you are hiring a contractor ? ej : yes . stefano : [ laughs ] i put the word out to all the contractors in town not to return samantha 's call . listen , i engineered that little toilet thing , all right ? so that to make sure that samantha and the children would come to live here . ej : i do n't think plumbing 's really gon na matter ... if anna tells rafe what i 've done . i 'll never get to see samantha or my children ever again . stefano : you can not think like that . ej : should i think like you ? stefano : well ... ej : it was thinking like you that got me in this mess in the first place . i mean , i told anna to kidnap sydney . [ guffaws ] why ? because samantha fell in love with another man , and she lied to me ... and i had to get some kind of revenge . stefano : of course . ej : i -- i watched her not know where her daughter was . i mean , i watched her not know if her daughter was alive or dead . i felt her suffering , and i felt completely vindicated . i did . not even that was enough . i had ... [ laughs ] to go and do the worst thing that you could possibly do to a mother . and you know what she did ? she fought ... with everything she had , because that girl was more important than rafe or anything in the world , save her other children . and i realized something . i realized exactly why she kept that child 's existence from me . so if by some miracle , she does n't find out about what i 've done ... i 'm not gon na trick her into staying in this house with me anymore . stefano : dear me . i do n't think that i will ever understand you , elvis . ej : do n't you understand , father ? it wo n't work . samantha 's not here because of me . she 's in this house because of will ! the reason they 're killing each other is because of me . so if she wants to take her children and live in her house , i 'm okay with that . [ scene_break ] rafe : well , i may not be with sami anymore , but there 's no way that she 'd ever be with that guy . anna : ha ha ! you want to bet ? i 'm a dimera , remember ? and i lived in that house when ej was married to nicole for quite a while . it was pretty obvious he never got over sami . rafe : but who cares ? it 's not about what ej wants . it 's what sami wants -- oh , that was good . that is sharp . you got me off the subject . let me tell you something . it 's not gon na happen again . so go ahead , make yourself comfortable . it 's gon na be a long night . [ scene_break ] brady : hi . so i got your , uh ... arianna : yeah . brady : message . what 's nicole doing now ? arianna : um , well , she stole a glass from the pub to prove how easy it is to rip the place off . brady : is that a big deal ? arianna : well , if you 're caroline brady , and nicole goes on the saying all this garbage about the pub , yeah . brady : ari , you know what ? in fear of repeating myself , um , you can quit this job at any time . arianna : i like the job , all right ? and i love frank . i love the production people . brady : ari ? arianna : what ? brady : do you think you 're staying with this job because you 're trying to prove something ? arianna : [ sighs ] to who ? brady : that 's exactly what i want to know . [ scene_break ] hope : it 's nice to know someone believes in me . justin : you know how i feel about you . hope : i do . and i realize how important you are to me . but i need some more time . justin : [ sighs ] because of the case ? hope : whoever 's doing this is starting to come into focus for me , and i just -- i , you know , i 'm gon na stay up all night , and i 'm gon na figure out exactly who that person is . [ scene_break ] stefano : well , i have some phone calls to return ... regarding the subject we were talking about . ahem , william . good to see you . will : you , too . i better get started on my homework . ej : actually , william , uh , could i have word with you ? just for a moment . will : um , why ? ej : i know how angry you are about your mother , and i know that it 's because of me . will : it is n't just you . ej : listen , i know a thing or two about holding onto anger . feels very compelling . it 's , uh , empowering . but , ultimately , it leaves you feeling very empty and very alone . will : did that happen to you ? ej : [ laughs ] let 's just say that i have recently learned how very powerful forgiveness can be . sami : ahem . hey . what 's going on ? ej : ahem , nothing . actually , i was just , uh , going upstairs to check on johnny and sydney . if you 'll excuse me . [ scene_break ] anna : yes , this is mrs. dimera . my dinner still has n't arrived . well , it better be . god , i 'm so hungry . rafe : mm . i got an idea . how about we pass the time by me telling you what i think happened ? anna : gee , that sounds fascinating . rafe : you blame stefano for your husband tony 's death . anna : look , everybody knows that . rafe : well , it 's easier to get even that to face what you 've lost , now , is n't it ? so since you say you were n't the mastermind in this whole thing , i figure someone figured out how to use your anger at the dimeras . someone who , say , had an issue with stefano . how am i doing ? anna : i do n't know . i ca n't think . i 'm too hungry . rafe : well , maybe this mastermind just wanted to make it look like revenge on stefano . they had another motive entirely . [ knock at door ] anna : finally . rafe : allow me . diego , what took so long there , buddy ? anna : mmm . looks great . rafe : yeah . anna , damn it !

[ scene_break ] brady : here you go . arianna : thank you . i know i was the one who said that we should n't have anything to do with nicole , and here i am working with her . brady : when you do n't even have to . arianna : brady , i 've been a drug dealer , i 've been to prison . i 'm turning my life around here . and i like the job . and i 'm good at it . brady : that may be , and you may be able to live with nicole , but i 'll tell you , ari , i do n't know if i can live with you while you 're doing it . [ scene_break ] hope : i just feel that if i stay up tonight without any distractions of the phone ringing or ... and thank god , ciara 's sound asleep , so i -- justin : i have an idea . how about you go to sleep now , and then wake up an hour before ciara , and that way you can look over all this stuff with a clear mind . that 's what i used to do when the boys were young , and i had to prepare for a big trial . it works . hope : i want to solve this case before bo gets back . justin : i want that , too . because then ... hope : what ? justin : you 'll have more time for me . hope : good night . justin : [ sighs ] good night . hope : oh . [ scene_break ] nicole : so this is where you meet your partner ? baker : it 's private . it 's what you said you wanted . nicole : [ exhales ] so , we 're gon na frame arianna tonight , correct ? baker : i still have to clear that with my partner . nicole : fine . you do that , and i will figure out a way to make sure arianna does not have an alibi . [ scene_break ] will : i 'm gon na start my homework . sami : okay . oh , um , hey , will ? johnny asked me earlier when i was gon na teach him to play poker . will : he did ? sami : i guess he wants to be part of the family game night . um , anyway , i was thinking tonight might be a good night , and i would love your help , if you do n't have too much homework . will : no . i 'll see how much i have to do . sami : okay . ej : so neither of our children is asleep . sami : what ? ej : you okay ? sami : [ laughs ] ej : you look preoccupied . sami : i just asked will if he would play poker with me , help me teach johnny , and , um ... and he did n't say no . what did you say to him ?

[ scene_break ] ej : look , uh , he loves you , okay ? and he could n't keep this feud going on forever , that 's all . sami : yeah , but this is a complete 180 from the way he was this afternoon . ej : good . let 's just hope he keeps on going that way . sami : that 's it ? you -- ej : who 's this ? sami : hey ! oh ! ej : ohh ! johnny : hi ! ej : somebody got out . sami : cards ? will : anybody up for a friendly little game of poker ? johnny : me ! ej : poker ? wow ! sami : [ laughs ] there you go !

[ scene_break ] brady : you wanted nicole out of our lives completely , right ? arianna : yes . brady : yet here you are , thinking and talking about her 18 hours a day , ari . you 're getting something out of this . i do n't know what it is , but it 's not professional fulfillment . arianna : yeah , maybe you 're right . maybe , yeah , it 's one on one . it 's her and me now . brady : ari , i do n't like it . arianna : why ? i mean , there 's nothing that she can do to us anymore . is there ?

[ scene_break ] [ beeping ] brady : what are you talking about ? what do you mean you 're saying your good- byes ? melanie : well , our , um -- our friend over here did a lot of drugs , apparently , and so his brain is the equivalent of a , uh , moldy sink sponge . so they downgraded him from coma to chronic vegetative state . brady : really ? melanie : yeah . now they 're taking him to a hospice in otisville . so there 's nothing else they can do for him , i guess . i do n't know . it 's weird , though , right ? i mean , he killed arianna , he tried to kill me , and he 's never gon na have to pay for it . and what 's worse is ... we 're never gon na know why he tried to do it . [ scene_break ] nicole : lexie , i do n't know who you 've been talking to or what they 've been saying ... lexie : ej told me . he did n't get into specifics . nicole : of course he did n't . lexie : frankly , i do n't wan na know , but it 's more than clear that you have decided to turn my brother 's life into a living hell . nicole : of course ! everything 's my fault ! lexie : nicole , i thought that you would 've learned your lesson by now . do n't you realize this is all going to blow up in your face ? [ scene_break ] ej : i married nicole for the sake of my children , because i feel that i need to put them first . taylor : and i admire that . i respect that . and i also told you you had one chance to tell me the truth , and you just lied . good - bye . ej : no , taylor , please . please ! [ scene_break ] maggie : and it 's not that i wan na keep it . it 's , um , it 's just ... hope : i know . you do n't want some stranger to have it . of course . maggie : that 's it . yes . hope : you know , i was skyping with shawn and belle last night . they 're off the coast of mexico doing some very intense deep sea fishing . and seeing this hat , i ... maggie : do you think that he might ? hope : think ? are you kidding me ? shawn would be absolutely honored to wear his great uncle mickey 's hat . they 'll be coming into the harbor in san diego tomorrow or the next day . i could overnight it to him there . what do you think ? maggie : i think that 's wonderful , hope . thank you . thank you . okay . [ scene_break ] justin : now , do n't get your hopes up too high . visitation 's one thing . i do n't think there 's really that great of a chance for you to regain custody anytime soon . chloe : not after what i did . justin : it all depends on what philip is willing to allow . he 's the one with all the money , all the power . he can always hire more attorneys , better attorneys . but if everything goes right , you 'll be able to have supervised visitation . how soon ? i do n't know . but again , it all depends on what philip is willing to allow . chloe : he and parker are still in chicago , right ? justin : yeah , with round - the - clock nannies who love him very much . he 's doing great . so maybe , before too long , you 'll be able to see him . chloe : that 's -- that 's so wonderful , justin . thank you . i do n't know how i 'll ever be able to thank you . justin : actually , chloe , there is something you can do . [ scene_break ] melanie : see , i -- i know that arianna was working undercover when she exposed the drug ring that was selling dope all over town , and i know he went to jail for that . brady : and he got out , and he wanted revenge . melanie : maybe not . brady : what do you mean ? melanie : [ chuckles ] i mean , you do n't think that he was actually the brains behind the operation , do you ? brady : no . no , i mean , he was clearly working for somebody else , but ari 's cover was blown before she got a chance to get a name . melanie : so would n't it make sense that the person with no name was the one that gave the order to kill arianna ? i mean , he was clearly on so many drugs he could n't even see straight , but he could take orders . so what would you do if you found out who was giving that order ? brady : i 'd kill him . melanie : exactly . me too . but now we 'll never know . brady : maybe . melanie : mm - mm . no , he 's a vegetable . he 's not gon na say anything . brady : well , i 'm gon na still find out . i 'm gon na find out , i promise you that . [ scene_break ] ej : taylor , i could not lie to you . i have not lied to you . taylor : yes , but you wo n't tell me what kind of a hold nicole has over you . ej : [ sighs ] taylor : ej , when i walked in here earlier , i came to pick up a box of my stuff , and i overheard you and nicole arguing . and you were talking about the real reason that you are staying married to her . ej : [ sighs ] taylor : ej , i know that she is blackmailing you and she is forcing you to do this . she 's got you in some kind of a trap . but what i do n't understand is why are you letting her ? ej : you know , i despise myself a little bit more every day for allowing this to happen . taylor : okay , i ... why ? just why -- why -- why -- why would she do this ? i mean , did you tell her that you would give her a good settlement and she could still see the kids ? ej : maybe she does n't trust me . maybe she wants to make sure i never have that kind of power over her again . taylor : i see . so she decides . is that it ? ej : taylor , i wish that there was something that i could do . taylor : okay . so i just walk out without knowing . is that it ? ej : [ sighs ] taylor : god , ej , just something . can you give me something ? i mean , what is it ? what -- what -- what is it ? if nicole blurted out this dirty little secret of yours , what would happen ? are you gon na go to jail ? are you gon na be ruined ? are you gon na lose your children ? is it so bad that you can never be forgiven ? [ scene_break ] hope : thank you . maggie : mm - hmm . [ chuckles ] i always forget something . hope : no . maggie : you know , after mickey died , i thought i did all the right things . i mean , i did n't make any major decisions for six months . and i talked to family and friends every day to make sure i -- i stayed active . hope : maggie , you 've been so strong . maggie : i try . but it 's the grief . it 's always there . it comes in waves . it 's cliché , i know , but it 's true . some days it 's just a few hours . maybe i 'll get through even a day , but then it all comes back to you . it 's the reality of what happened . i 'm sorry . you know all about that , do n't you ? all too well . well , anyway , i keep reminding myself that mickey would want me to be okay , to have as much joy in my life as possible . but , you know , when someone dies ... you realize how fragile your own life is . so you -- you wan na make the most out of every single day . so i 've tried to ... make myself move on , look toward the future . and for a while there i thought i had , but i ... hope : what ? tell me . maggie : oh , never mind . hope : that you may be able to find love again ? is that what you were going to say ? maggie : mm - hmm . i was , yeah . but , you know , i just realized recently that that 's never gon na happen . [ sighs ] mickey was the love of my life . and the idea of even loving someone else , even thinking about it , it 's just wrong , disloyal . and so i just focus on what i have -- great friends ... and beautiful memories . hope : oh , maggie . maggie : [ sighing ] oh , that 's really all i need . [ scene_break ] victor : oh , melanie , do you have the transcript for the latest board meeting ? i need to make some notes for the fundraising committee . melanie : i do . it 's , um -- it 's one of our bestsellers . victor : [ chuckles ] thank you . i assume that everything is back to normal with you and maggie ? melanie : sorry ? victor : oh , well , perhaps i should stay out of it . i just thought that since chloe had moved out that the -- melanie : uh , chloe moved out ? victor : yes . maggie did n't tell you ? melanie : no . i guess she figured it was n't important enough to call me . victor : well , now you know . [ scene_break ] justin : chloe , sit down . look , i know you 've had a rough time , but , i mean , it was n't that long ago that you were so depressed that you did n't even think life was worth living . chloe : believe me , i remember . you know what the worst memory is ? not that i tried to drown myself , but that i left parker alone in the freezing weather . the fact that i put my baby 's life in danger , that 's the horrible , unforgivable part . justin : chloe , parker was okay . and you 've made it back . look , i know losing daniel was heartbreaking . and then for philip and parker to suddenly disappear from your life must 've been devastating . i completely understand . but if you really wan na thank me , you have to hang tough , you have to work hard , take your meds , continue therapy . now , can you promise me you 'll do all that ? chloe : yeah . justin : listen ... my phone is always on . just call me if you need anything . chloe : thank you , justin . thank you so much . justin : you 're very welcome . good luck . chloe : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] quinn : oh , hey ! we got ta stop meeting like this . chloe : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] lexie : i 've known you for a while now . i know how tough you had it growing up . and recently losing your mother , which was very hard on you , i 'm sure . nicole : your point ? lexie : what happens if this all goes wrong and you end up losing sydney too ? oh , hey , what if it goes right ? what if you are the winner ? ej is miserable . and sydney ? well , sydney grows up in a household filled with hatred . your childhood was nothing but bad memories , nicole . is that really what you want for sydney too ? nicole : well , i guess you 've got it all figured out , do n't you ? lexie : [ scoffs ] nicole , you can have everything right now , okay ? you can be happy with someone who truly loves you and still spend as much time with sydney as you 'd like . but where you are headed right now , it 's a very dark , miserable place . i think you know that deep down . you are going to end up way in over your head , nicole . you 're gon na lose everything . [ scene_break ] ej : i think you 're aware of the fact that i 've done some things in my life i 'm not very proud of . taylor : and that 's -- that 's all you can say ? come on , ej , give me something . what does nicky have on you ? please tell me the truth or just set me free . ej : all right . i will . [ scene_break ] quinn : it 's kind of amazing , huh , that we meet again in the same ol ' place ? chloe : yeah . quinn : so i guess this means you were n't completely put off by what happened here before , not to mention after that . chloe : look , uh , i told you -- i 'm not upset with you anymore . we were both pretty bombed , and it 's no one 's fault . it just happened . quinn : one - time thing . too much to drink .

[ chuckles ] he pretty much told me flat out that , um , i had certain standards of conduct that were just too high . hope : [ chuckles ] maggie : so we argued about that , and finally ... that was the end . oh , my goodness ! my big , strong girl ! my gracious ! do you know how helpful you 've been to me today , ciara ? i wan na thank you so much . ciara : we 're going to grandpa victor 's next ! he 's got lots of old clothes for us . wan na come ? maggie : well , um , i thank you , sweetheart , but i do n't think i can do that today . but you be sure and give your grandpa victor a big hug , okay ? hope : maybe some other time . maggie : yes , we 'll see .

[ chuckles ] maggie : what ? melanie : um , i over - reacted . it 's just because i know you want me to be a better person , and i try . it 's just , when i mess up , i always feel awful . maggie : wait a minute . what are you talking about ? melanie : well , you wanted me to forgive chloe , and i could n't , so i just figured that you were disappointed in me . and then i started feeling bad and stupid and beating myself up , especially since you 're the best person i 've ever known . maggie : oh , melanie .

[ scene_break ] lucas : hey , will , it 's dad . uh , listen , i just had a long talk with your mom , and she 's really sorry . she wants to explain how she really feels . and , uh , she loves you , you know ? we both do . so go ahead and give me a call when you get this , okay ? all right , bye . [ scene_break ] celeste : i want to read the cards for you again . cameron : mom , ca n't you be honest about it ? this is n't about the cards , you just plain do n't like abigail . [ scene_break ] ej : alexandra ? lexie : mm - hmm ? ej : i do n't think this is the time or the place to be talking about my problems . lexie : i say there 's no time like the present . okay , here 's what the doctor thinks . you 're lonely . you miss nicole , do n't you ? ej : more than i could possibly have imagined . [ scene_break ] gabi : uh , you know what ? it 's probably nothing . i do n't even know why i said anything . melanie : okay , it 's not really nothing if this guy keeps calling you . chad : well , she thought someone was following her earlier too . melanie : right , so ... chad : does he say anything when he calls ? gabi : uh , no . he breathes into the phone , which totally freaks me out , and then he hangs up . [ scene_break ] abigail : well , do you recognize the number ? gabi : no . abigail : let me have your phone . we 'll call them back -- gabi : no , you ca n't call them back . [ scene_break ] carrie : thank you . marlena : not too hot . carrie : okay . marlena : it 's just right . carrie : i think it 's just all the stress . marlena : i do n't know what could be so stressful around here . [ laughter ] you know i 'm on your side . i guess i 'm just wondering that with all this stress , it 's the right time to make such a big decision . carrie : i know i want to be with rafe . i do n't know how i 'm going to tell austin , but i have to . marlena : are you concerned ... carrie : go ahead . marlena : are you worried that you 're choosing to be in a relationship with rafe and nicole is carrying his child ? [ scene_break ] stefano : i 've come here alone and unarmed because i am not afraid or i can not be intimidated . now you are going to deliver what i have paid for , or there are going to be consequences . [ chuckles ] do you understand ? [ scene_break ] henderson : you have a visitor , sir . lucas : happy birthday , victor . maggie : oh , hi , it 's so nice to see you . lucas : oh , you too . you look great . maggie : i have been pinching myself , i am so happy that you decided to stay in salem . victor : i 'm amazed that you remembered this is my birthday . lucas : of course , i remember your birthday . come on . when you were married to my mom , it was like a circus and a state dinner all wrapped into one . maggie : [ chuckles ] victor : well , as you can see , things are much quieter these days . lucas : yeah . victor : but nice . very , very nice . maggie : thanks . lucas : yeah , i can see that . maggie : and you . i have n't seen much of you lately . how are you doing ? lucas : i 'm doing good , i 'm doing good . you know , i 've been pretty busy lately , but i 'm good . maggie : yeah , i 'm sure . lucas : yeah . i mean , it 's great to see the kids again . it 's great to be a part of their life on a day - to - day basis , you know ? maggie : yeah , i can imagine . i understand that you and sami are running countess w. together . lucas : yeah , yeah , yeah , that 's right . victor : and is it great , uh , seeing her every day on a day - to - day basis ? [ scene_break ] lexie : look at mom with those cards . reminds me of old times . but i do n't need tarot cards to know your future . ej : no ? lexie : nope , nope . i see you with a great wife and a wonderful family because as much as you screw up , you are at heart a good man with a good soul . i really see good things happening for you . ej : thank you . sounds like wishful thinking to me . [ scene_break ] sami : uh , what just happened , 'cause i think i ended up on a transatlantic flight and i did n't intend it . i 'm in paris ? lexie : it 's a long story . hi , sami . um , excuse me , i 'm going to go find abe . excuse me . sami : is it something i said ? ej : no . sami : why do n't you tell me what is going on here ? [ scene_break ] celeste : i do n't have anything against abigail . cameron : no ? celeste : no . i 'm worried about her as much as you . the cards tell me there is great danger around her . cameron : the cards say whatever wack thing it is you want them to say . celeste : i know you do n't believe , but that is very foolish of you . very . [ scene_break ] abigail : why ca n't we call whoever it is back ? gabi : because the number 's blocked , and i deleted all those calls . abigail : well , that was stupid , the police could 've traced the call . gabi : okay , so it was stupid , all right ? i 'm sorry . i was just -- i got scared because i keep thinking about that headless doll , and then the note that says i 'm next . i 'm sorry i 'm not as smart as you are . chad : whoa , whoa , whoa , wait , that 's not what she meant . okay , can you -- can you just give us , like , a minute ? um , please ? look , gabi , it 's going to be okay , all right ? everything 's going to be all right , i promise . [ scene_break ] carrie : rafe and i talked about nicole and the baby . marlena : i would hope so . carrie : rafe made a commitment to be there for her and the baby any way he can , and i respect him for that . marlena : and this commitment that he 's made to nicole and the baby is n't going to somehow , i do n't know , have an effect on your relationship with him ? carrie : marlena , trust me , rafe is one of the most honest and loyal men that i have ever met , and him standing by nicole , if anything , it makes me love him more . [ scene_break ] bo : [ chuckles ] [ russian accent ] okay , mr. dimera . we have deal . stefano : i knew that already . what i have to know now is the exact location of that ship so that my men can put everything into place . bo : [ russian accent ] i have brought samples if you like to see them . stefano : no need . bo : [ russian accent ] and so you know , there has been a small reduction in inventory . stefano : are you telling me you already sold part of my deal ? bo : no , no . a few of the items proved to be unattainable . stefano : well , obviously there 's got to be some change in the payment . bo : understood . so you have original invoice money transfer papers ? stefano : yes . bo : yes . seems we have everything we need . [ scene_break ] lucas : well , the thought behind sami and me working together is that , you know , it 's basically good for the kids . maggie : well , that 's a nice thought . i 'm just so glad you came by to see us . lucas : well , good . i mean , i have been going through a tough time lately . you know , with sami , it 's never easy , but this one right here always seems to get me through . maggie : mm - mm . you know , you get yourself through . but i always want you to know , if you need me , i 'm here . lucas : thank you . well , i 'm going to go . i 'm going to go . i do n't want to crash your party . victor : no , no , you 're not at all . lucas : well , no , it looks very romantic , and everything is just so for two , so , you know , happy birthday . have a great night . victor : thank you . [ scene_break ] maggie : okay , well , i 'll walk you out . lucas : i 'll come see you later . maggie : okay , and we have to set aside some time for a nice long talk . lucas : yeah , we need to do that . maggie : i know . we have n't . [ scene_break ] ej : so did you talk to william yet ? sami : no , no , i have n't . i mean , i charged out , planning to find him and talk to him , and then i realized i do n't want it to be an instant replay of what happened before . i actually want to think it through and figure out exactly what i want to say . ej : really ? sami : there is a first time for everything . i 'm going to do it right this time . [ scene_break ] cameron : mom , i know you want what 's best for me . but please let 's just focus on lexie . i 'm fine . celeste : all i want is for you to stay that way . [ scene_break ] melanie : gabi seems really upset . abigail : yeah , well , hopefully chad can talk her into going to the police . melanie : yeah , i do n't know . god knows how long she 's going to be at his place . i 'm sorry , that sounded really bad . abigail : what ? melanie : um , i know she 's going through a lot right now , but chad and i do n't really get a lot of time alone . [ scene_break ] chad : okay , so will said he was going to call the mayor 's office about this , right ? have you heard from them ? gabi : um , yes . chad : okay , good , good . um , what are they going to do to catch this guy ?

[ scene_break ] stefano : the inventory reduction is acceptable . bo : [ russian accent ] as is adjusted balance . stefano : soon as my men have verified that everything is in order , the rest of the money will be sent overseas as it was before . bo : that will be fine . and when i have more of same kind of items ... stefano : just get in touch with me . bo : [ russian accent ] i 'll see what i can do . stefano : good . so are we done here ? bo : not quite . ( bell rings ) [ scene_break ] henderson : and what was the purpose of mr. horton 's visit ? victor : he wanted to wish me a happy birthday . henderson : that was nice of him . victor : was it ? oh . yes , it was . listen , dinner was particularly good this evening , henderson . henderson : you should tell mrs. kiriakis that . she insisted on preparing it herself . victor : really ? henderson : it seems to make her very happy to take care of you , sir . victor : well , i 'm going to make sure maggie stays happy , which means she can never find out the truth . maggie : the truth about what , victor ? [ scene_break ] abigail : come on , of course you want alone time with chad . he 's your boyfriend . melanie : yeah , well , i feel bad . you know , what if gabi 's really in danger ? abigail : mel , do n't you think if gabi were really that scared , that she would go to the police ? melanie : yeah . but she 's been through a lot . i mean , she just lost her brother . i do n't really want to push anything , and obviously chad 's the only person that can calm her down . [ scene_break ] gabi : uh , the mayor 's security guy said that the last thing i should do is let this person know i 'm scared . and i know that as long as i 'm with you -- staying with you -- i 'm going to feel safe . [ scene_break ] lexie : oh , honey . i ca n't thank you enough for all this . it 's magical . abe : you know there 's nothing i like better than making your dreams come true . lexie : you already have . [ scene_break ] marlena : carrie , are you having other symptoms ? carrie : well , no , i ... marlena : are you late ? carrie : well , i missed last month , but that does n't mean anything . there 's been a lot going on , and ... oh , my god . marlena , do you think i 'm pregnant ? [ scene_break ] ej : i think it 's a really , really good idea for you to think things over before you talk to william , you know ? and this time , you just have to make sure you get things right , because you may not actually have another chance . sami : that 's exactly what lucas said . ej : really ? well , for once , i agree with him . sami : that 's funny . that 's exactly what i said . [ scene_break ] stefano : just exactly what is that supposed to mean ? bo : that we 're not done yet . seems like you 've made a couple of wrong moves . stefano : mm . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] john : it looks like this is check and mate . stefano : well , now . look who 's alive and well . bo : stefano dimera , you have the right to remain silent . if you give up the right to remain silent , anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you give up the right to an attorney , one will be appointed . | sami wanted to go after will , but lucas stopped her . he wanted her to calm down or she would mess things up again . she did n't want to mess up . she just wanted to tell will that she loved him . she said when she heard will say that he went to marlena , it was too much for her . lucas thought it was a good thing that will went to marlena . sami was furious . lucas said marlena did n't walk out on will when he came out to her . lucas thought that was the worst thing sami could have done . sami agreed that it was the worst thing she could have done . she said he and ej agreed on something . lucas wanted to know why she talked to ej about will in the first place . she said she did n't mean to . she just ran into him . she said ej did all of the talking . lucas asked if she knew what privacy meant . lucas tried to get her to see what it would have been like being in will 's position . lucas was upset that she talked to ej about it . lucas said he would have understood if will never spoke to her again . sami did n't want him to say that . she wanted him to help her fix things with will . john , bo , hope , and rafe were at the warehouse ready to take down stefano . john said to keep stefano talking when he got there because shane would be recording it . when the phone rang , it was stefano . bo used a fake russian accent when he answered the phone . bo convinced stefano to go to the warehouse to make the deal . lucas apologized for yelling at sami . sami was n't upset because he yelled . she was upset because he was right . she said she wanted to tell will she loved him no matter what . then she messed up as usual . she did n't want to mess up because he was their son . she wondered if lucas was right about will never talking to her again . lucas was n't sure if they were there yet , but if she lost it again , he did n't think will would give her another chance . |
nicole : hey , ciara , w -- what you got there , honey ? brady : marlena , what 's wrong ? marlena : why ? can you fix it ? like you can make the last three months just disappear ? brady : i 'm sorry . marlena : i do n't care . and i sure as hell do n't care to discuss it with you . eric : hello . hey . hey , mom , i was just actu -- have you been crying ? marlena : i got ta go . i got ta go . eric : no , please do n't . so what have you done now ? john : looks like there 's trouble in your little paradise too . kristen : you were spying on us . john : nice flowers . kristen : put the flowers down . john : so you planning on walking down the aisle with these tomorrow or are you just gon na throw 'em off the tallahatchie bridge ? kristen : does it bother you at all that you 've been reduced to spying on your son ? john : no , the only thing ... kristen : that 's your life . john : that bothers me is that you did n't answer my question . so did you just dump brady or are you gon na marry him tomorrow ? nick : [ gasps ] what the hell ? god . vargas : man , you 're not very good at this stuff , are you ? lucky for you , you 've got a guy like me to watch your back still . so what do you have for me ? nice . hope : thank you . that was a guard at rafe 's room . he 's fine . he 's safe . gabi : thank you very much . hope : gabi , please tell me again about the phone call that ej got the night that rafe was attacked . gabi : uh , well , before that , he was obsessed with his phone , texting , checking his messages . sami : you mean like everybody on the planet ? gabi : but then he got a phone call and he moved away and that 's when i heard him ask , `` is it done ? `` and then he said , `` good . `` sami : so ? gabi : so ? so i realize now that it must have been right after he had somebody beat my brother almost to death . sami : you do n't know that . gabi : no ? well , he was waiting there for rafe and then his phone rings and he leaves ? he obviously knew that rafe was not gon na show up . sami : he did not have someone beat rafe up . he did n't do it . hope : i completely agree . gabi : you do ? hope : yep . whoever did this was n't trying to hurt rafe . they were trying to kill him . sami : [ sighs ] ej : excuse me . how is he doing ? carla : sorry , sir . i can only give out patient information to family . ej : well , uh , nurse , um ... peters , i 'm on the board of directors . i just came from a meeting where i sat beside my good friend , the director of nursing . my family gives a tremendous amount of money to this hospital , so why do n't we try that again , eh ? how is mr. hernandez doing ? carla : there 's no change . they 're keeping him in the induced coma . i have to see to a patient . ciara : it 's private . do you know what that means ? nicole : you know , you remind me so much of your mother . caroline : oh , ciara , you know i do n't like it when you run ahead of me like that . uh , hi . nicole : hi . john : she loves brady . kristen : give me those . john : she loves him not . i have a feeling that my presence is making you uncomfortable . kristen : it 's making me angry . go away . john : well , kristen , you know i would . but we both know that 's not what you really want . people are stuck in very old habits sami : do you have any idea how many business calls ej takes in a day ? that call could have been from anyone about anything . gabi : come on . you -- you know better than anyone how much ej hates rafe . and you know that this is n't the first time he 's tried to kill him . sami : everything is different now . gabi : oh , really ? i mean , how stupid can you really be ? come on , you know what ? not so long ago you and rafe were together and happy . and then all of a sudden like that you 're in ej 's bed and there 's a hit on my brother ? sami : all right , i 'm gon na give you a little leeway because you 're upset and you 're pregnant . gabi : you know what , rafe tries to protect you and ej goes after him . rafe tries to protect nicole and ej goes after him and there 's a pattern , sami ! hope : sami , maybe you do n't need to be here for this . sami : if she 's gon na attack ej , i 'm not going anywhere . gabi : oh , i 'm attacking ej ? i 'm attacking -- do you know what he 's done to my family ? how can you say this ? have you forgotten that rafe put his life on the line to save you and sydney ? sami : i have n't forgotten anything . gabi : or is it just -- is it more important to you to get the dimera money and power over my brother 's life ? is that why you want ej to get away with murder ? sonny : see , right there . that 's the garage that nick has a receipt from . will : okay . all right , so it 's there . then between the time the car was checked in and checked out , he did -- he really does n't have any time to go beat the crap out of rafe and get back to the garage . it 's not possible . so it looks like his alibi checks out . sonny : maybe . maybe . will : maybe ? sonny : yeah . will : i mean , you really think he 's capable of this kind of violence ? sonny : hey , why do n't you ask melanie ? or maybe prison sweetened him up . will : okay , but you really think that he would do that to rafe just to stop him from telling gabi that he 's homophobic ? sonny : i do n't know . i do n't think anyone knows what nick might do if he 's backed into a corner . nick : it 's all there . vargas : oh , it sure is , kid . nice work , man . commission . nick : oh , uh , no , that 's -- that is okay . vargas : hey , come on . take it . look , you got a kid on the way . since i could n't make the shower , you know , i guess the , uh , prison , they neglected to forward my invite , right ? nick : hmm . vargas : so anyways , uh , you know , i want you to still buy something for nicky jr . nick : well , it 's a girl and , uh , no , thank you . but we 're even . have a nice life . vargas : whoa , nick , where you going , man ? nick : what are you doing ? we 're done here , man . we 're done . vargas : well , see , i 'm not so sure about that . let 's , uh , let 's do the math . nick : yeah , let 's . i tripled your money . vargas : that 's true , you did . but that was a few days of work for you . i kept you alive for a few years . so this right here , this is a good start , you see ? but you and me , we 're not finished , man . not even close . caroline : well , i may not baby - sit them anymore , but i keep an eye on the baby - sitter . nicole : a sitter ? caroline : yeah , paula . she 's taking allie and sydney for ice cream . nicole : oh , right . okay . [ chuckles ] caroline : so did they let you see rafe ? nicole : yeah , they did . he did n't look like he was in any pain , but he did n't know i was there . caroline : it 's just terrible . that poor man . i mean , it 's -- i hate there 's so much violence in this world . of course i 'm not in a big hurry to get to the next one . nicole : [ laughs ] yeah , i see where eric gets it . caroline : what ? nicole : well , you know , we -- we went to the hospital together and then he -- he gave , you know , the last rites . caroline : oh , it 's now called the sacrament of the sick . the church is not quite as grim as it used to be . nicole : right . well , eric , he 's , you know , he 's just so good and he helps so many people . and he is real religious , but he 's not so -- caroline : yeah , he 's not a drag about it , right ? nicole : yeah . you know , he takes everybody seriously but himself . he 's completely opposite of me . but i - i do n't know what i would have done if he was n't there for me in the hospital and ... i 'm just so glad he 's back . eric : you know , after i saw you and john at the hospital , i kinda hoped things had gotten better between you two . marlena : i do n't get it . after all we have been through , this seems like the toughest time in our lives . i think it is . brady : i 'm sorry about that . marlena : it does not mean that i am giving up . eric : what a surprise . i remember all the other times that you 've given up . like never . marlena : the strangest part of this entire conflict is that it 's centered around somebody so utterly trivial . eric : mom , why do n't i get you home ? marlena : no , i -- no , honey . i 'm gon na wait for caroline . i want to see if she has any news about rafe . brady : me too . i have n't gotten a chance to get to the hospital . marlena : well , of course you have n't because you 're busy making the biggest mistake of your entire life . kristen : you know , i think that after all the water that 's passed under that bridge that we burned all those years ago , the very least we owe each other is a little honesty , do n't you think ? john : me too . kristen : yeah , you think that ? so why do n't you tell me what you think i want and , um , i 'll tell you if you 're right ? sonny : see , the problem is we are dealing with a computer genius . he 's not gon na have any trouble producing a parking garage receipt that says whatever he wants it to say . will : so your feeling is that he fabricated the alibi ? sonny : yeah . you saw how defensive he got when we asked him what he was doing on the other side of town . you have to admit , he looks guilty as hell . nick : hi . excuse me . uh , do you know where gabi is ? carla : i have n't seen her in a while . maybe she stepped out for something . nick : okay . ej : hello , nick . sami : hope , you can not make ej a suspect based on one phone call . hope : there are a lot more reasons than that , sami . sami : she 's upset and pregnant and emotional , okay ? she 's just looking for someone to blame . gabi : i know who to blame . me . sami : what ? gabi : rafe would n't have been anywhere near that alley if i had n't gotten some stupid craving and asked him to get me a muffin from martha 's . sami : honey , you ca n't do that to yourself . i mean , you ca n't get yourself upset and then try to blame yourself for this . gabi : please , do n't be nice to me , okay ? i do n't want you to . sami : okay . i wo n't . but think about what rafe would say right now . he 's a cop and cops make enemies and he chose this life . he would n't want you to put that on you . hope : rafe did n't have anything from the bakery . we found nothing like that at the scene . nick : ta - da . sami : gabi ? what 's wrong . gabi : nothing . sami : you had a look on your face like you 've -- gabi : okay , yeah . i 'll tell you what 's wrong . what 's wrong is that the dimeras had my brother beaten up and that no one 's gon na do anything about it . sami : [ sighs ] okay . look , ej swore that he had nothing to do with it . hope : right . and ej 's never , ever lied to you before , right ? brady : gee , marlena , why do n't you tell me how you really feel about it ? marlena : i feel you know there is something seriously wrong with this situation . brady : what 's seriously wrong with this situation is my father 's reaction to it . marlena : if that 's true , do n't you think what he 's done is out of complete love for you ? brady : [ grunts ] marlena : uh , excuse me . well ? brady : do n't make me say it . marlena : i think i can take it . brady : i think he 's jealous . i think he 's jealous of what kristen and i have , okay ? marlena : [ laughs ] oh , my . eric : i think you should have stuck to the not saying it thing . brady : okay , okay . you 're saying my father loves me , right ? back me up here , because when i was gon na get married in a church , i looked up some of the wedding rhetoric . it says , uh , love is patient , right ? love is kind . is n't that what paul says ? you think dad is any of those ? does -- does that sound like him ? marlena : yes , it does . brady : how about not envious ? how about not angry or resentful ? hmm ? my dad is none of those things . if you knew what was good for you , you would give up on him just like i have , marlena . marlena : i 've got ta go . honey . eric : well done . kick her when she 's down . brady : i do n't -- i do n't think telling someone the truth is kicking them . and i 'm tired of the kristen bashing , okay ? eric : you know , you seem to be into scripture nowadays , so why do n't you look up matthew 7 : 5 ? `` first cast out the beam in your own eye , then you shall see clearly to cast out the speck in others . `` kind of a loose translation is that you 're full of it , which means you should stop making judgments about john , because the same things could be said about you . brady : thank you . thank you for the sermon . you 're getting awfully comfortable with this moral authority , are n't you ... father ? eric : you know , as i once said to you , `` i 'm not speaking to you as a priest , but as your brother , `` i think you 're an idiot . caroline : well , i 'm not surprised that sami fell for rafe because when she and eric were growing up , they fought a lot , but she idolized him . and i think that rafe and eric are quite a lot alike . nicole : yeah , they are both such good guys . er handsome . nicole : [ gasps ] you 're not supposed to say things like that , especially about your own grandson . caroline : i know .

sonny : are you gon na talk to hope ? will : no , i 'm gon na have to talk to gabi , i guess . i do n't wan na involve her in this , but , you know , she might know something that can prove whether or not nick , you know , beat up rafe . sonny : well , if that 's what you 're gon na do , i wan na go with you . will : okay . brady : can we start over , please ? look , i did n't mean to hurt marlena . i do n't wan na hurt marlena . honestly , i was trying to help , but every time my dad 's name comes into the conversation -- i do n't wan na lose the people that i love because of kristen , but honestly , man , let me tell you . it -- it does n't feel like i 'm pushing people away . it feels like everyone 's pulling away from me , all right ?

it 's the same type of muffin that you got me before i found out that he was hurt . nick : well , so , rafe had n't made it to the bakery when -- when he was attacked ? gabi : there 's something else , uh , nick . i spoke to him and he said that he needed to talk to me about something important about you . do you have any idea what he might be talking about ? nick : what truth ? rafe : well , what kind of man her husband really is . she deserves to know and i 'm gon na tell her . nick : i - i have no idea . wait , you -- you do n't think that i had anything to do with what happened to rafe , do you ?

brady : you do not make things easy , you know that ? kristen : oh , shut up . i 've been told that before . brady : you do n't . kristen : but for certain , i 'm so certain that tomorrow 's gon na be the very happiest day of my life . john : oh , kristen . hmm . now was this an accident or did you drop it for me on purpose ? [ chuckles ] does n't really matter . either way , i have what i need . kristen : what 's wrong ? i can tell something 's wrong . brady : well w -- for one thing , i did n't know till 20 seconds ago whether i was getting married tomorrow or not . kristen : oh , yeah , that . what else ? brady : uh , saw m -- kristen : what 's going on with you ? brady : saw my dad . i think he was following you . did you see him ? kristen : yes . and i - i just ignored him . brady : good . good . kristen : why ? did he upset you again ? brady : no , not me . marlena . i found her . she was crying . he must have done something once again to upset her . kristen : hmm , what now ? brady : i 'm not sure , but , i tell you what , she was a mess . kristen : oh . brady : she was a mess and marlena 's rarely a mess . kristen : oh , i know . she 's such a strong , strong woman . brady : she refuses to give up on him . kristen : she 's resilient too , right ? brady : [ sighs ] kristen : well , who knows ? maybe after this whole wedding drama is over with , she and john will fall back in love . brady : is that something you would want ? kristen : why not ? i can afford to be generous , right ? i 'm about to get everything i ever wanted ... with you , mr. black . will : so , gabi and nick , that was a little off , right ? sonny : it was , yeah . what do you think that was about ? will : i do n't know , but , uh , you know , we can find out . they probably have n't gone very far . sonny : let 's go . will : okay . nick : i mean , gabi , what -- what kind of man would i be if i beat your brother to a pulp and -- and i - i pry the -- the bakery bag from his hand and then deliver a blueberry muffin to his pregnant sister , my wife ? gabi : it -- it 's just -- nick : it 's a coincidence , baby . i passed by that shop and i thought of all of the times that you had a craving for one of those muffins . gabi : nick , look , the only reason that rafe would have to , you know , go through that alley to the pub was -- was if he had already stopped at the bakery and got me a muffin . nick : gabi , you have to believe me . jensen : hey . nick fallon . it 's funny . i recognized you even from behind . it 's been a while , has n't it ? hope : and ej 's never , ever lied to you before , right ? ej : you expect my son to live in a house with a man you do n't know anything about ? rafe : it was him , sami . he ordered anna to kidnap sydney . him . [ grunts ] sami : oh , my god . ej : samantha . hello . what 's wrong ? sami : look , ej , i know what you said to hope , but i want you to be straight with me . did you have something to do with what happened to rafe ? gabi : i - i know you . you were in the pub . jensen : yeah , once . bourbon straight up . and it 's kind of nice to be noticed . nick : yeah , well , um , we have to be going , so -- jensen : hey , nick , what 's your hurry ? you and i , we have a - a lot of catching up to do . looks like you 've been busy . do n't you think we should go somewhere a little bit more private ? gabi : nick , what 's going on ? nick : look , um , jensen and i ... need to have a little talk . i 'll catch up with you later . just go . jensen : hey , nick , you and i , we do n't have any secrets , right ? let her tag along . i 'm sure the pretty woman would love to hear all the things i have to say . ciara : but i hate it here . hope : honey , i know . just -- uh , i promise , i 'll only be a little while , okay ? and then we 're gon na go get pizza . how is that ? and you get to choose as many toppings as you 'd like , all right ?

'cause if i did , then john and marlena might end up back together . we ca n't have that , now , can we ? john : so after tonight , brady and kristen will be finished ... forever . | brady asked marlena what was wrong . she ripped into him and did n't want to talk to him . john wanted to know if kristen was going to marry brady . vargas met nick in an alley . nick gave vargas what he wanted . gabi told hope about the phone call ej had that made her think he had rafe beat up . sami kept interrupting gabi by saying ej did n't have rafe beat up . hope agreed that ej did n't have rafe beat up . she thought someone tried to kill him . while ej checked on rafe , he saw a guy with flowers and smiled at him . kristen wanted john to go away , but he thought she did n't want him to leave . sami kept defending ej to gabi , but gabi did n't believe her . the guy at the hospital walked away from ej . ej went after him . vargas was satisfied with the money , but he wanted more from nick . will and sonny talked about nick possibly attacking rafe . will thought nick 's alibi might have checked out , but sonny was n't convinced . they left the coffee shop to talk to gabi at the hospital . sami told hope that she could n't let ej be a suspect based on a phone call . when gabi mentioned asking rafe to get her something from the bakery , hope said the bag was n't found at the scene . gabi flashed back to nick giving her the muffins from the bakery . before gabi left , she blamed the dimeras for attacking rafe . |

[ sighs ] summer . are you all right ? summer : [ sighs ] yeah . yeah , i just did n't sleep very well last night . new house and everything . but i bet you did , what with all those pt exercises i 've been putting you through . i hope it has n't been too much . maggie : mm , it 's exactly what i need . i 'm so grateful for your help , summer . summer : well , i 'm so happy that i have this chance to get to know you better . maggie : i wish there was some way that i could repay you for your kindness . you know , something that i could do for you . summer : well , i - i guess there is one thing . maggie : what 's that ? summer : could you tell me more about my father ? aiden : ugh , i 'm sorry . i told you i could be patient , follow your lead . here i am showing up at your place , making you watch a video of our first dance . i just -- thought if you watch this video -- you know , i 'm going to leave you alone . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . hope : aiden , wait . i do want to talk to you . i have some questions i want to ask . aiden : yeah , no , i -- can i come in ? hope : no . we can talk right here . aiden : i understand . look , hope , i wish i could erase this past year and go back to when we were happy and falling in love . hope : we ca n't , can we ? 'cause it was all a lie , all of it . from the moment we met , all you did was lie to me . maggie : summer , i already told you . i did n't know your father very well , and oh , he came to work on our farm for such a short time and then he was gone . summer : i know this is probably hard for you to talk about , but i just want to know who i am , where i 'm from . maggie : like i said , his name was noah . i did n't know his last name , and that 's all i can tell you . summer : do you at least know where he was from , if he had any family ? maggie : no . summer : i mean , if i have other brothers and sisters out there , i -- look , maybe you have some old pictures . something , anything i can use to start looking for -- maggie : summer , no . please . promise me you wo n't do that . summer : why not ? aiden : it started out as a lie , okay , but it was n't exactly a hardship to take stefano 's money to seduce you . hope : damn you . aiden : hope , i got to know you . i fell in love with you . i did n't want that to happen , but i could n't stop it and that 's how it -- that 's how it was for you . right ? i defied stefano and andré by refusing to kill you . i was willing to die for you , hope . i almost did . the entire time , i was locked up , thinking about you , think -- it was all that kept me alive . i dream -- i dreamed about this . i dreamed about coming back to you . finding a way to make it all up to you . hope : that 's not possible . aiden : what about a second chance ? is that possible ? hope : i 'm the one asking the questions here . can you even prove that the dimeras were somehow responsible for holding you hostage ? aiden : no . i um .... you know , when they kidnapped me , they knocked me out , they threw me in the trunk of a car , and i never -- i never saw anyone . in fact , i never saw anyone the entire time i was held captive until the very end . hope : how is that even possible ? you were there for months . someone had to be looking after you , feeding you . aiden : look , the room that they kept me in was -- it was a cage . they 'd pump in this toxic gas that would knock me out . i 'd wake up . i 'd find a tray of food or a tv monitor and they 're showing me these videos and it was just to -- to torture me . to torment me . showing me videos of you and the kids . hope : how did you get out ? aiden : something finally dawned on me . if i was able to hold my breath , the gas would n't affect me , so i practiced . i got the timing down . i overpowered a guard and ... here i am . hope : i 'm very sorry for what you went through . but i still do n't understand if you betrayed the dimeras , why would they go to such length to keep you alive ? aiden : i had the same question . so i went to see andré today to get answers . brady : no , no , i 'm not having second thoughts , belle . i love theresa . i wish she understood how much . belle : you do n't think she does ? brady : [ sighs ] look , we had a really rocky start to our relationship . belle : so i heard . brady : i 'm sure you have . i get why she 's insecure , okay , but even after i proposed , she 's still jealous of -- first it 's nicole , now it 's summer . brady : summer is maggie 's daughter ? brady : she thinks that summer is somehow going to come between us and -- i mean , in a way she has , because theresa -- she 's just been acting so damned -- belle : clingy . brady : clingy . yes . she even went to summer 's place and confronted her and then lied to me about it . all she has to do is just leave it alone and -- belle : right , and then problem solved . brady : problem solved , yes . belle : no . brady : yes . belle : no , summer is maggie 's daughter . maggie is a part of your lives . brady : i understand that , and summer is n't going to go away altogether , but belle , theresa came to me and she was like , `` brady , you have this -- you have this hero complex . you have this rescue complex . `` what is that ? belle : [ laughs ] what , and you think maybe she has a point ? come on , brady . brady : no . belle : listen , i do n't know theresa very well , but i know you love her , and i know you want to marry her , and you have a son together . and that makes it really hard to walk away . brady : hold on . i do n't want to walk away . belle : i get it , but are you positive that you 're in this for a lifetime ? speaking as someone on the other side of this , if you 're having this much trouble already , brady , you really need to be sure that this marriage is what you want . brady : i am . i just need theresa to understand how sure i am . theresa : [ strums ukulele ] anne : [ huffs ] okay . theresa : hey , do you think you could find her criminal record ? maybe a sex tape ? yeah , scratch that -- anne : okay , stop . you have been obsessed over this since last i saw you . have you not ? theresa : yeah . anne : yeah . theresa : duh . anne : okay , and what good has that done you , huh ? why do n't you just let summer dig her own grave , metaphorically speaking ? theresa : ugh , i 'd like to dig her grave myself literally speaking . anne : i understand that , theresa , but if it 's bugging brady so much that she bugs you so much , why do n't you just not let her bug you so much ? okay ? focus on dj wear . do you have any idea how much work we have before this launch party ? theresa : yes , anne . that 's why i hired you . anne : [ sighs ] yeah . well , i need this launch to be a success , okay ? to show those naysayers at the hospital that i was not a fool to give up my hr gig , all right ? theresa : oh , so really this is about you . anne : no , this is about us proving to the world that we 're not total losers . theresa : you know , you always make me feel so much better . anne : oh , my god . listen . we had a taste of success with basic black , okay ? theresa : okay . anne : all right , and then nicole and kate that got all the credit . well , now , here we are . we 're on our own and we ca n't afford any screw - ups . theresa : yeah , you 're right . okay , you 're right . all right , let 's do this . anne : thank you . theresa : okay . okay , yeah , but first , can i just say one thing about summer and -- anne : no wonder you are driving brady crazy . theresa : ugh . anne : come on , have you even considered that perhaps summer is n't up to something at all ? theresa : oh , um , well , maybe if i had a lobotomy i could consider that , but i have n't , anne , so no , you know what ? she is up to something , okay ? i have spot - on radar about this kind of stuff . anne : okay , i get it , i get it , i get it . you 're like , a genius at seeing the worst in people . i have to have a phd in that myself , ps . okay ? be that as it may , it does n't mean that brady is going to fall for it , because unlike us , he is not steeped in cynicism . theresa : yeah , exactly , anne . that 's the problem . all right ? brady 's a trusting guy . i mean , he 'd give vlad the impaler the benefit of the doubt . summer , she 's hiding something , okay ? and she 's the type of girl , she 's just going to go as far as she can . she 's gon na push and push and push and see what she can get . maggie : i -- i do n't want to stand in your way . it 's just that i do n't have any information that could help you , and this search is going to lead you nowhere . i think it would save you and me a lot of heartache if you just dropped it now . summer : but if i -- maggie : please , summer . summer : okay . victor : oh , hello . what a nice surprise . maggie : hello . victor : my beautiful wife . and you . maggie : oh . we were just about to order . would you like to join us ? victor : well , actually , i was hoping to take my wife to tea . caroline tells me that julie and doug have a marvelous spread over at the martin house . summer : why do n't you two go ahead ? i 'm not very hungry anyway . maggie : summer , you 're welcome to come with us . summer : thank you , but i have errands i should take care of . maggie : all right . then i 'll tell our waitress that we 're leaving . summer : oh , let me . maggie : no , thank you . these are the kind of things that , well , i need to try to start doing myself . victor : i 'm delighted to have a little time to talk to you alone . summer : you are ? victor : i got this in the mail today . no name , no return address . just this . would you care to explain that , cindi ?

[ dramatic music ] summer : i used to be a con artist . you know that . of course i used different names . cindi callahan was one of them . victor : why would they send this to me ? summer : i do n't know . but maggie knows everything there is to know about me . i do n't have anything to hide . victor : somehow i doubt that . summer : what did maggie say about ... this ? victor : i have n't showed it to her . no reason to . not now . maggie : so , we ready to go ? victor : oh , quite . maggie : so summer , i 'll see you at home ? summer : great . yeah . aiden : andré denied having anything to do with what happened to me . put all the blame on stefano . hope : of course he did . because stefano 's not around to say otherwise . aiden : well , he also insisted that he did n't kill his father . said that you did it , and you framed him . hope : ridiculous . aiden : of course it is . hope : but did he answer your question ? why did stefano keep you alive ? what did he think you could do for him ? andré : we needed a contingency plan just in case the man we hired to be you did n't work out . aiden : i wish i knew . hope : andré would n't tell you ? aiden : he admitted nothing . hope : to me , either . aiden : thank god bo got to you in time . that my look - alike was n't able to accomplish his goal . stefano and andré 's goal . hope : your name was on my life insurance policy . did you know that ? aiden : no . hope : yeah , you were gon na inherit all of my money when i died and give it to stefano . aiden : but you did n't die . stefano did . that 's probably why he never got around to getting rid of me . i still ca n't believe that bastard 's gone . hope : and bo . aiden : i 'm sorry . hope : and you 're back . aiden : i 'm back . anne : yeah , look at some wacko street urchin over beautiful you . theresa : so you know , they 're aware of the situation . anne : okay , and what do you think those two are going to do ?

did n't victor just have a heart attack , lose his house , lose his fortune , while his wife was rendered paralyzed ? i do n't know , maybe summer 's going to be a little low on their list of things to worry about right now . theresa : well , anne , they should be worried . anne : why ? brady is not gon na chose some wacko street urchin over beautiful you . theresa : anne , that 's his mo , okay ? he tries to save these poor waifs and then -- anne : okay . theresa : he falls for them . i mean , come on . everybody told him he was crazy for going for me and look where we are now . anne : yeah , look where we are now . i mean , really , has he proposed to any other women ? theresa : oh , really , you want to go there ? let 's go there . all right , how about crazy chloe and then there was even crazier kristen , not to mention , uh , arianna and madison who are , you know , no longer with us . anne : okay , all right , i get it . okay . i still think you 're being just a little paranoid . theresa : anne , i do n't like being this way , okay ? just that i know summer , okay ? i was summer , and -- if i do n't do anything , i 'm going to lose brady . anne : let me tell you something . if he chooses her over you , he 's got a screw loose , and he 's worth losing . theresa : anne , brady 's the best thing that ever happened to me . okay , probably the only good thing that 's ever happened in my entire life . anne : [ clears throat ] theresa : come on , you know what i mean . anne : uh - huh . theresa : it 's not just me . i have tate to think about . anne : i get it , all right ?

summer : i do n't know . dario : maybe clark sent it before he , uh , died . summer : i do n't care who sent it . i care if victor starts digging around . he can trace cindi callahan to clark , and if he finds out that clark is missing -- dario : you could wind up going to prison for murder . aiden : hope , i 'm not sure where we go from here . hope : do n't pressure me . do n't . do n't push me . aiden : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , but i - i ca n't imagine how hard it 's been for you . hope : i tried so hard to erase you from my life . i got rid of everything that could possibly remind me of you . aiden : i understand . but i tried to kill you , so you spent the last six months thinking you fell in love with some kind of monster . but it turns out , i 'm the man you thought i was all along . hope : no . you 're not . aiden : okay . okay . i 'm not gon na pressure you , okay , i 'm not . i wo n't . and if you tell me that there is no chance then i will respect your wishes but hope , if i have the slightest opportunity to work things out with you , then i 'm not going anywhere . maggie : how 's caroline ?

summer : you 're acting like this has nothing to do with you . if i go down , so do you . dario : not for murder . summer : how many times do i have to keep telling you that it was an accident ? dario : i 'm not getting in any deeper , summer . summer : well , too late . dario : you need to calm down , because if you start acting like this around victor , he 's definitely gon na know something 's up . summer : how can i calm down when my whole life is going to hell ? belle : what ? brady : summer is over there with dario . that 's rafe 's brother . belle : and they know each other ? brady : yeah , they met in la , and apparently they 're dating , which is strange because summer never mentioned it before . belle : they do n't look like a couple in love to me . hope : i ca n't even fathom the idea -- aiden : okay , hope , i get it . okay , but let me ask you this . do you think you would answer differently if you were n't seeing someone else ? hope : how -- how did you -- aiden : when i was here last night , i saw the notes and the rose and -- look , rafe has always -- hope : that 's none of your business . aiden : been there for you . it 's funny , he said the exact same thing . hope : leave rafe out of this . he 's not the problem . i buried you believing you were a murderer . aiden : i know . i know . look ... i want to try to give you your space , but before i go there 's one thing that i do want you to know . i love you . i have never , for one moment , stopped loving you . and i will do anything to prove it . this is lovely . i have n't had high tea in years . victor : why do n't you want summer to know -- maggie : julie ! this is lovely . i have n't had high tea in years . julie : well , we are -- [ phone beeps ] julie : re - purposing the big dining room into a real cafe , so you have to come back and enjoy tea when that 's all finished . victor : uh , excuse me . i have to call justin . julie : certainly . may i join you ? maggie : of course . julie : i did n't mean to interrupt you and victor . maggie : i 'm glad you did . he has n't warmed up to summer yet . julie : darling , you know you two have been going through so many changes . it probably is less about summer and more about everything else . maggie : i hope you 're right . it means so much to me to have a chance to get close to my daughter . i never thought -- julie : oh , maggie . i wish we 'd known . we could have helped you find her . you know , i always believed that mickey was your first love . maggie : he was . summer 's father was just a silly crush . i was too young and naive to know anything about love . julie : i 'm not so sure about that . i was about that age when i fell for david martin , and looking back , i think it was love . young girl 's love . and you know , being in this house , the martin family house , it 's brought back a lot of sweet memories . maggie : i 'm sure it also has brought back plenty that you 'd rather forget . dario : you need to calm down , you hear me ? okay . belle : brady ? [ whistles ] over here . hi . brady : yeah . hi . belle : listen . if you want a future with theresa , she needs to be the one getting all that attention . brady : she will be . belle : mm - hmm . well , i should get going . i will let you know if i hear anything from mom , and maybe next time at the hospital we can actually see dad and paul . i love you . brady : you , too . belle : okay . brady : right . hey , guys . i was just at the hospital a while ago and they would n't let us in . do you know if the quarantine is over or ... ? dario : oh , yeah , they 're letting a few people go at a time . uh , i heard your dad and brother are doing better . that 's great , man . brady : yeah , thank you . gabi and ari , too . dario : yeah , thank god . anyway , uh , i should let rafe know that i got sprung . brady : sure . dario : i 'll see you later . summer : uh , i should go too . brady : um , summer , actually , before you go , um , i had a question for you . has clark been bugging you again ? has he been around at all ? summer : no . no . like i told you , he 's history . thanks to you . brady : well , i 'm glad i could help . did dario know clark back in la ? summer : maybe . i do n't remember . why ? brady : well , because when i knew dario , he was a petty thief . at least he was when i met him , so i was just thinking if you and clark -- summer : you know , i get it . i get it . you think dario and i are working together to con you or maggie or everyone in salem . you know what ? you can just go to hell .

[ dramatic music ] hope : oh , bo . i love you . you were my one and only , brady . i miss you so much . you used to try to tell me what to do . i hated it , remember ? but , boy , i could really use your advice right now . i thought if i only had something in my life again , something good , that i could look forward . but the truth is , i 'm ... so lost . i 'm confused , bo . i 'm at a fork in the road , and ... would it be too much to ask if you could just give me some kind of sign ? which direction to go ? honestly , i do n't trust my instincts anymore . i used to think of myself as a strong person . i do n't know how much more i can take . [ solemn music ] | aiden tried to get hope to believe that he wanted to be with her , but she did n't believe him . she did n't want him to pressure her to get back together . he was convinced that he would get her to want to be with him . summer talked to dario about killing clark . she was worried that they would get caught . he did n't want to be a part of it anymore . maggie was worried that summer wanted to find her father . |

[ phone ringing ] hello ? alberto . hey . yeah , are you still in guadalajara ? no , no , it 's not a rumor . the deportation proceedings have already begun . how did you ... no . please tell me that 's not the truth . chloe : you know , it 's easy to blame me for what happened to nicole and brady . everybody does , but you know what , they need to be held accountable for their stupid decisions . lucas : you forced them to go on the run . chloe : they did n't put holly 's needs first . lucas : and you did ? really ? chloe : yeah . if nicole would have just accepted the court 's decision and let me raise my child -- lucas : it 's not your child ! it 's nicole 's daughter ! come on , you know that . adrienne : hey , hey , hey . guys , guys , guys , guys . i think we should calm down . we 're trying to have a good day , remember ? chloe : you 're counting on this guy to have your back ? trust me , take it from someone who 's been married to him before . only a matter of time before he turns on you too . lucas : oh ... adrienne : it 's all right . jj : if gabi wants to be with chad , there 's not much we can do about it . eli : oh , so you 're okay with her going back to be with him . jj : of course not . eli : then why would you drive her straight to him ? jj : 'cause i 'd rather have her with chad than here with us . gabi is obsessed with getting back at deimos for what he did to her family . eli : can you blame her ? jj : no , but pretty soon , we 're gon na get a call from sonny and paul that deimos is on the move . and i do n't want to worry that gabi is going to go off and jump right into danger . eli : and who 's to say chad 's not putting her in danger right now ? hope : so you followed deimos here to greece ? gabi : well , sonny thinks that he 's trying to find xander and nicole . chad : and the question is , what is he gon na do if he finds them ? hope : and you knew about this ? chad : i ran into sonny , paul , and gabi yesterday . and jj and lani are here ? gabi : yeah . hope : where are they now ? gabi : they 're on sonny 's jet . it 's on the runway a few miles from here . hope : i 'm gon na go see if i can pitch in . i want nicole and holly to come home . do me a favor : text me the address . gabi : okay . hope : you 'd better be telling the truth about the amulet , or the curse is gon na be the least of your problems . [ phone beeps ] hope : thanks , gabi . i just got it . gabi : did she just say , `` curse `` ? abigail : what was that ? dario : it 's nothing you should worry about . abigail : well , you seem worried . dario : yeah , i 'll deal with it . abigail : dario , whatever you just heard 's got you shaken up , and , you know , i 'd appreciate it if you told me what it was . dario : when i was living in argentina , i got into a shady business deal and i made some enemies . i did n't know at the time , but they had ties to el fideo . abigail : the mexican drug lord . dario : i cost him a lot of money , and i was able to make it back to the states before he could get to me , but he has n't forgotten . and now he 's heard i 'm being -- i might be deported back to mexico . abigail : so he 's waiting for you so that he can take revenge ? dario : you know , i do n't know , this is all second - hand info , and i am not telling you this to put more pressure -- abigail : okay , but so -- dario : on you , abigail . abigail : when does this all happen ? when are they gon na force you to leave ? dario : i do n't know . it could probably happen at any moment . but , listen . whatever you decide , i will figure it out , and i promise , i will -- i 'll completely understand . okay ? abigail : mm . okay . look , i got to think -- i 'll just -- i 'll let you know . dario : yeah . abigail : soon as i can , okay ? dario : okay . [ dramatic music ] jj : i 'm not getting great reception in here . i 'm gon na go outside and see if i can get ahold of sonny . eli : well , i 've never seen you so quiet . no opinions on the gabi situation ? lani : only that i love hearing two guys argue over how a woman should behave . eli : that 's not what we 're doing . lani : i was here . you wanted to keep gabi away from chad , jj wanted to keep her away from here . it 's tough when they do n't listen , is n't it ? eli : look , we 're just trying to keep her safe . what 's wrong with that ? lani : gabi is gon na do whatever she wants . eli : yeah , that i 've noticed . lani : why did n't you go after her when she left ? eli : because i have a job to do here . i mean , it 's like you said . if she wants to run off and be with chad now that he 's gon na be single , what am i gon na do ? lani : well , that depends . i mean , how serious is your relationship ? eli : not very . lani : but you like her . eli : does it matter ? i mean , she 's in love with another guy . lani : yes , it matters , you dummy . look , if you want something more serious with her , then you got to let her know . eli : are you sure you 're not just saying this because -- lani : she 's jj 's ex and i want her out of the way ? look , that 's not a bad thing . but that 's not why i 'm pushing you towards her . eli : you sure ? lani : i 'm pushing you because you 're a huge pain , okay ? and she 's actually someone who can handle it . eli : thanks . lani : my point is , eli , you could be good together . okay ? but if you wait too long , it might be too late . you going to go find her ? eli : i need to check in with the local authorities . but i 'll see if i can track her down . you know , sometimes you 're not so bad . chloe : [ sighs ] dario : can i get you a bloody mary ? chloe : ugh . are you serious ? i still have a headache from yesterday 's drinking contest . dario : coffee , then ? chloe : ah , espresso . double . por favor . dario : double it is . any word on nicole and holly ? chloe : no , but i did just run into my ex , lucas , though , and he said that i 'm a horrible person who used a baby for selfish reasons . dario : that seems harsh . chloe : nicole hates me for trying to take holly , and it just seems like the whole rest of the world is on her side . dario : i do n't hate you . chloe : [ chuckles ] you do n't know me . dario : i know you well enough . i used to spy on you for deimos . chloe : oh . yeah . are you supposed to get points for that ? dario : well , i 'm saying i probably know you better than what you call your so- called friends . chloe : oh , yeah ? dario : yeah . chloe : what do you know about me ? dario : i 've seen enough of you to know that you 're not a horrible or selfish person . chloe : thank you . that 's really sweet of you to say . dario : yeah . [ laughter ] adrienne : abigail ? abigail : oh , hey , guys . hi . hi , ari . lucas : you okay ? abigail : yeah , i just ... got a lot on my mind . adrienne : your mom told me about you and chad breaking up . is there any possibility that -- abigail : no , no . i filed for divorce this week . adrienne : honey , i 'm so sorry . abigail : no , that 's okay . we 'll talk about it later . okay . hey , ari , where 's your mommy , huh ? arianna : in greece . lucas : oh ! actually it 's -- abigail : greece ? lucas : kind of late . we should get you to school , little one . um , i 'll stop by later so we can talk , okay ? adrienne : oh , talk ? lucas : yeah . adrienne : sure . sure . lucas : okay . abigail , hang in there , okay ? adrienne : so why did it upset you to hear gabi was in greece ? abigail : chad is there too , but he told me he was on a business trip . adrienne : honey ... abigail : i mean , i knew they were gon na get together . that 's why i 'm divorcing him . i just did n't want to share space in his heart anymore . adrienne : and you 're never ready to hear that . especially not so soon . abigail : it hurts . gosh , that really hurts to know that i was right . you know ? gabi : so your business trip , it has something to do with this amulet ? chad : it 's an ancient artifact , and it 's worth a lot of money . gabi : okay , well , i 'm guessing this was n't exactly a legal transaction ? chad : shh . gabi : oh , come on . you can tell me . i 'm the one that got you into the stolen artifact business . you can trust me . chad : i know i can . gabi : [ laughs ] so -- so wait , i 'm guessing from what hope said , you do n't even have it yet . you do have it . oh , it 's beautiful . okay , now tell me about the curse . chad : legend goes that whoever possesses the amulet will be cursed with terrible luck . it 's just a superstition , but it 's enough to spook my entire security team . andre . gabi : andre believes in the curse ? chad : yeah , it 's ridiculous . i tried to tell him that all of the events that have happened since i got the amulet are just a coincidence . gabi : what events ? chad : abigail filed for divorce . the -- the jet , the engine problems . just bad timing . gabi : chad , you need to get rid of that amulet right now . lani : any movement from deimos ? jj : still up in his hotel . all we can do is wait . lani : maybe we should get a hotel ourselves . jj : no , we better stay on the jet so we can move fast if we need to . jj : where did eli go ? lani : to find gabi . he decided that he was n't gon na let her go back to chad without a fight . that 's good , right ? jj : yeah . lani : i know you still worry about her . jj : not because i have feelings for her anymore . i just -- i do n't want to see her get hurt again . why are you smiling like that ? lani : because i just told eli that it 's important to be up front about your feelings , and just now you 're doing that . jj : well , in that case , um , let me be honest about something else . i hate that we 're in this beautiful country with crystal blue water and gorgeous beaches and amazing food and we 're stuck on this plane . lani : i know . it 's depressing . we might as well be on a runway in salem . but i have an idea . jj : i like it when you get ideas . lani : when we first decided to come to greece , i did some research . check this out . jj : all of that is just right outside these windows . lani : mm - hmm , or it can be right here . inside . jj : i think i see where you 're going with this . lani : we are in one of the most beautiful places on the earth . let 's use our imaginations . jj : oh , i can do that . lani : [ laughs ] [ romantic greek music ] lani : [ laughs ] jj : twirl for me . lani : [ laughs ] chloe : mm ! oh ! hot ! dario : you -- chloe : i burned my tongue . dario : you got to let it cool down first . little patience . chloe : oh , well , yeah . that 's good advice for coffee . and life . maybe when i 'm 90 years old , i 'll actually remember to think before i act . dario : yeah . i have that problem too . chloe : it 's just that ... i miss holly so much . just think about the next time that i 'll see her . i remember parker at that age . they just -- they change so fast . they grow up . dario : well , why do n't you bring him here to live with you ? chloe : i would love to , but my life right now , it 's just such a hot mess , and he needs stability . dario : stability . what is that ? chloe : [ laughs ] i do n't know . maybe a job , for starters . dario : well , we could use a singer . you know , we set up the stage right over there . you interested ? chloe : i would n't have to audition or anything -- dario : no ! i 've heard you plenty of times . you 're great . chloe : oh , yeah . the whole stalking thing . dario : well , it 's not stalking if you 're hired to do the job . chloe : oh , whatever . i blame deimos anyway . dario : so that settles it . you 're staying here . you 're my new singer . chloe : uh , i did n't say yes . dario : you were about to . chloe : how do you know that ? dario : 'cause i know you . chloe : okay , yes . i 'll do it . dario : good . chad : do n't tell me you believe in curses . gabi : i do n't know what i believe , okay ? i just do n't think that it 's worth the risk . chad : well , this could potentially be a huge payday , and after that hacking incident , believe me , we need this . gabi : well , sell it , then . get rid of it before you leave greece . chad : it 's not that easy to find a buyer . gabi : deimos wants it . chad : deimos ? gabi : sell it to him . yes . you took his business . he 's across town . give him the bad luck . chad : since when do you believe in superstition ? gabi : oh , come on , you 're gon na tell me you do n't have a little bit of doubt ? you 're not worried just the tiniest bit ? chad : i make my own luck . gabi : what if you 're wrong ? chad : it 's gon na be fine . gabi : you do n't know that . you do n't know that at all . i mean , what if the problems that you were having , the engine trouble , what if that happened when you were up in the air ? what if there 's more ? chad : gabi -- gabi : what ? no . i 'm worried . okay ? what if something were to happen to you ? [ phone ringing ] gabi : i would ... be -- it would -- chad : this could be a buyer . i have to take this . [ phone ringing ] [ dramatic music ] gabi : [ sighs ] [ shudders ] needles . [ knocking ] adrienne : hey . lucas : hi . sorry i took so long . ari wanted to show me her art project , and i could n't say no , so ... adrienne : aww . lucas : oh . hi . so you 're not mad at me . adrienne : mad ? why would i be mad ? [ laughs ] so what 'd you want to talk about ? [ clears throat ] got to admit , i 'm a little nervous 'cause you know , when people say they want to talk , it 's usually not good news . lucas : no , no . it 's fine . sorry , come on . let 's go sit for a sec . adrienne : the couch ? lucas : it 's fine . it 's no big deal . adrienne : okay . lucas : um ... i just wanted to say that i know you 're still healing , and i do n't want to pressure you at all , but i was , uh ... kind of wondering when we ... adrienne : if we 're ever gon na make love again ? i was wondering when you would ask me that . lucas : well , like i said , i do n't want to put any pressure on you . i really do n't . that 's not what this is about at all , but on the other hand , i do n't want you to think that i do n't want you , because i do . i want you more than ever . it 's just , um ... in this last year , seeing you battle for your life and seeing you fight like hell , and the courage and the strength and the grace that you showed , i just ... want you to know there 's nothing more sexy to me . [ romantic greek music ] lani : what 's wrong ? jj : i know i probably send you mixed signals . lani : lately , it 's pretty much all `` stop . `` jj : i know . it probably does n't make much sense to you . lani : you said you wanted to take things slow because of how we rushed into things in miami . jj : i know , it 's because i -- i screwed it up so bad before . i mean , who does n't remember being with you ? lani : come here . chad : sorry about that . do you have to get back to sonny and jj ? gabi : no . actually , they 're trying to get me home on the next commercial flight . chad : i thought you came here to find deimos . gabi : yeah , well , according to them , i 'd just get in the way . would n't be a lot of help . chad : i find that hard to believe . gabi : i just do n't want to be anywhere i 'm not wanted , you know ? chad : well , it is gon na take them a while to fix my jet . so i was thinking about heading downtown to check out syntagma square . the center of athens . be a tourist . gabi : yeah , why not ? chad : you want to go for a walk ? gabi : let 's go . chad : okay . gabi : yeah . [ romantic greek music ] lani : really ? jj : okay , you have no idea how badly i want to be with you . but ... if we make love again , it has to be perfect . something neither one of us will ever forget . lani : i love that you want that , jj . but you just said , `` if `` it happens again . do you really mean `` if `` ? jj : when . when it happens again .
